Richard A. Russo, Jr., a partner of the Firm, concentrates his practice in the area of securities litigation, and principally represents the interests of plaintiffs in class actions and complex commercial litigation.
Rick specializes in prosecuting complex securities fraud actions arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933, and has significant experience in all stages of pre-trial litigation, including drafting pleadings, litigating motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment, conducting extensive document and deposition discovery, and appeals.
Rick has represented both institutional and individual investors in a number of notable securities class actions. These matters include In re Bank of America Securities Litigation, where shareholders' $2.43 billion recovery represents the sixth largest recovery ever achieved in a securities class action and the largest recovery arising out of the 2008 subprime crisis; In re Citigroup Inc. Bond Litigation, where the class's $730 million recovery was the second largest recovery ever for claims brought under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933; and In re Lehman Brothers, where shareholders recovered $616 million from Lehman's officers, directors, underwriters and auditors following the company's bankruptcy filing.
Rick is currently representing shareholders in high-profile securities fraud actions against Barclays Bank PLC, Ocwen Financial Corp., and Precision Castparts Corp., and is prosecuting numerous insurance class actions related to the practice of depreciating labor costs when adjusting homeowners' insurance claims. Rick has also assisted in prosecuting whistleblower actions and patent infringement matters.
In 2016, Rick was selected as an inaugural member of Benchmark Litigation's Under 40 Hot List, an award meant to honor the achievements of the nation's most accomplished attorneys under the age of 40. Rick has also been selected by his peers as a Pennsylvania Super Lawyers Rising Star on five occasions.
Obtained a $2.4 billion settlement in litigation against Bank of America (BoA) relating to its merger with Merrill Lynch & Co. (Merrill). Our clients, Dutch National pension fund PGGM and Swedish National pension fund AP4, alleged that BoA gave shareholders false and misleading information about Merrill's financial condition and obligations prior to a key vote on the merger.
The settlement, which included an undertaking to improve corporate governance policies, was the 6th-largest ever in a securities class action and the largest so far to come out of the subprime meltdown and credit crisis.
Represented the Miami Beach Employees' Retirement Plan, the City of Tallahassee Pension Plan, the Philadelphia Public Employees Retirement System and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority Pension Fund in pursuing claims against Citigroup for concealing its exposure to subprime mortgage debt—exposure that, once revealed, led to massive investment losses during the 2008 financial crisis.
Investors' claims resulted in a historic settlement of $730 million, the second largest recovery ever under Section 11 of the Securities Act.
Represented the Alameda County Employees' Retirement Association, former shareholders of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., (Lehman) in a case alleging that Lehman made false and misleading statements prior to its unprecedented bankruptcy filing in 2008.
The statements, which concerned Lehman's net leverage, risk management and concentration of risks, were made 'in registration statements and prospectuses used to market numerous offerings leading up to the bankruptcy filing. Despite Lehman's bankruptcy, we were able to negotiate a $616 million settlement funded by Lehman's underwriters, auditor and officers and directors.

CdA QB Chalich says he'll play at Idaho
Tue., Nov. 29, 2011
Football: Chad Chalich isn't one for drama. But his future college coach is known to get a little excited here and there.
The Coeur d'Alene senior quarterback didn't make Idaho coach Robb Akey wait long for an oral commitment Sunday during a home visit. Just before Akey left after a 90-minute visit, Chalich told the Vandals coach he would be heading to Moscow.
That prompted Akey to jump up and hug everyone at Chalich's home.
"It'll be nice playing for him," Chalich said. "He gets the job done. It'll be close to home for all my family and friends to come support me. Over time I feel I'll make an impact."
Chalich re-wrote CdA's record book the past two years in leading the Vikings to back-to-back 5A state championships. This year, he passed for 3,641 yards, completing 242 of 331 attempts (.731). He threw 42 touchdown passes and just two interceptions. He also rushed for 471 yards and 14 TDs.
He passed for 2,844 yards and 32 TDs last year while rushing for 541 and six TDs. He was named the 5A player of the year in 2010.
"I think it's a win-win situation," CdA coach Shawn Amos said. "He's a good student and a good kid. They're getting a quality kid and player."

Chiefs' Kichton makes short list
Hockey: Spokane Chiefs defenseman Brenden Kichton is one of 16 players from the WHL invited to try out to represent Canada in the World Junior Hockey Championships.
Kichton, one of 41 players overall, including 14 defensemen, will be in Calgary for a tryout camp Dec. 10-14. Players who make the team will stay to prepare for the tournament, which begins Dec. 26 in Calgary and Edmonton.
The New York Islanders drafted Kichton in the fifth round in June after he piled up 81 points last season, which tied for the league lead among defensemen. He has two goals and 12 assists in the Chiefs' last dozen games.

Georgetown next Carroll opponent
Football: Defending national champion Carroll College meets No. 3 Georgetown of Kentucky in the semifinals of the NAIA playoffs on Saturday in Helena.
No. 2 Carroll (12-1) advanced with a 17-14 win over Azusa Pacific while Georgetown (12-0) downed St. Francis of Indiana 26-14 last Saturday.
Frontier Conference player of the year Chance Demarais rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns, including a 1-yard dive with 1:51 remaining. Carroll linebacker Joe Dunning picked off Azusa Pacific quarterback John van den Raadt on the Cougars' final drive to seal the win.

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
On yesterday's evening news, I saw a story in which the President was meeting with a group of businessmen. In fact, there have been many similar reports lately of citizens responding to invitations to visit the American leader at the White House. I'm still waiting for my invitation, but I'm not holding my breath.
A few years ago, a friend of mine visited Washington and successfully had his picture taken with President Bush, albeit a cardboard cutout representation.
Meetings with high ranking officials in government and business are hard to attain. However, you and I have been given an open invitation to visit with God anytime we want. Not only will he meet with us at the time and place of our choosing, He will listen to anything we request… IF we ask according to His will.
Just in case you were wondering, if He hears, He grants our requests. "And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him." (v15)
Praying in God's will is productive prayer. We get what we ask for. But how? How can you know for certain that God is listening and will grant your request?
The prayers that get God's attention are those based on His word from a pure heart and proper motivation. God will never act contrary to His word, and He will do what is in our best interest and that of those for whom we pray. (Mt 7:11)
When my boys were younger, they begged. They begged in the grocery store, the toy store, and frequently after watching TV ads aimed at kids. But I didn't give them everything they wanted. Why not? Everything they asked for wasn't in their best interest. Of course, there were many things we couldn't afford to give them, but that's not a problem for God.
God gives because He loves us. And some things He gives us when we are willing to put in the effort to attain it. Remember what Jesus said? "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Mt 7:7) In the original language, Jesus' directive meant to keep on asking, keep on seeking, and keep on knocking.
I'm not saying that God won't answer your prayer by dropping the answer in your lap. Sometimes His answers come swiftly. Other times, His favorable response comes years later after you have sought and knocked.
His will, for example, is for His disciples to carry His Gospel into the world. But for those who have taken that command seriously, accomplishing that goal didn't come overnight and was met with varying degrees of success. God's will is based upon His master plan as revealed in the Bible. The more we study His word the more confidently we can pray.
You have been uniquely designed for a purpose within his master plan. When you pray to fulfill that purpose then you are praying according to His will.
Let's revisit the example of God's mandate for carrying the Gospel into the world. There was considerable difference in how the Great Commission was accomplished by the first disciples. In our times, there's a big difference between Billy Graham and the pastor of your church. Each has been given different spiritual gifts, talents, and opportunities.
If God has given you a talent — that's His will. Your spiritual gifts and unique abilities are His will. Loving others is His will. Acting upon His word is His will.
Praying confidently according to His will is, as the old people used to say, "Standing on the promises." When you find a passage of scripture that speaks to your concern, and you have a correct contextual understanding of the verse(s), pray it back to God expectantly without doubting.
Praying in His will is listening for the voice of the Holy Spirit to confirm your request is in God's will. And in those times when you don't know how to pray remember that the Spirit intercedes on your behalf. In Romans 8:27 we read, "… the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God."
Is there habitual sin in your life? It is impossible to ask according to God's will when you are living contrary to His will. Don't just pray that He'll forgive you for your sin, but repent. Turn away from it and request His help to get that sinful behavior out of your life once and for all.
When your desire is to honor and glorify God with your life, and your objective is to please Him with love and devotion, you can confidently ask whatever you want.
What is it you need to request from Him today? No burden is too small. No challenge is too great. God loves you and wants to hear what's on your heart right now.

A sweet bird from the Feathered Friends Deep Edge Dies and the Side Butterfly Circle create a spring birthday card here today. Pick a greeting from the Poppystamps Birthday Blowout Clear Stamp Set and you're ready to celebrate! Hello, Jean Okimoto here with combination of a favorite set from my stash - and a design from our Spring Collection.
The Deep Edge dies are designed to cut through layers of fabric - so they're perfect for felt and special artpapers too. Attach adhesive label paper or a sticker sheet behind pale peach felt and cut the main section of the bird.
Cut the overlay and wing from a pretty pastel print. Cut an extra wing from a scrap of the paper and layer it for dimension.
I've borrowed the eye die from the owl - it's a little larger and stands out against the print. Cut the beak from orange cardstock.
Assemble the bird - attach the wing with a tiny silver brad to add movement.
Prep the Side Butterfly Circle by rubbing it briskly with a piece of scrunched waxed paper to make it easier to remove the diecut. Cut the circle from pale green cardstock.
Stamp the greeting - from the Poppystamps Birthday Blowout set - on Snapdragon cardstock with Morning Mist VersaFine Clair. Dry the ink and trim the greeting with the 1-½" Circle Basics die.
Attach the diecuts to a 5-¼" square white card - use foam dots for the bird. Add pale orange gem stickers.
Mix felt with bits and pieces of printed papers from your stash and make a few extra birds - and an owl or two. You'll discover some great combinations of colors and patterns - and handmade embellishments always add a personal touch to your projects.
Thanks for visiting...see you again on Saturday!

These general principles are beneficial for everyone, but are particularly important if you work with data of heightened sensitivity.
General concepts
- Keep what you view on your computer screen private.
Consider if it's possible for someone to walk into your workspace and view sensitive data on your screen. Take steps to prevent this, such as turning your monitor or using a privacy screen.
- Keep your equipment safe.
One of the most common ways data is exposed is through lost or stolen hardware. Don't give someone an opportunity to steal equipment where you keep sensitive data, such as your computer, mobile, or portable storage devices. Sensitive data stored on devices you take out of your workspace is at particular risk. Steps to prevent hardware theft include locking your computer down and storing small devices out of view, preferably in locked drawers, when they aren't in use. Mobile devices used for institutional information must comply with the Mobile Device Security Standard.
- Keep security in mind whenever you work off campus.
Visit the IU Knowledge Base document: The Basics of VPN at IU to review how you can ensure all of your network traffic is secure when working or connecting remotely.
- Find out what backup solutions your department recommends, and keep data backed up.
Regular backups not only protect you against losing all your work, but also if your computer is lost or stolen. Having the backed-up data at hand makes it possible to determine what sensitive data may be at risk.
Do-it-yourself backup solutions pose risks. For example, data may be backed up on an irregular basis, or it may put confidential data at risk by storing it on external hard drives that are easy to steal. For this reason, do-it-yourself backup solutions are discouraged. Use a backup service that guarantees data is backed up regularly and stored securely. Contact your department's technical support staff for recommendations.

Island kingdom plans to publish draft legislation 'before end of the year'
Bahrain is drawing up a law on data privacy and protection, in an attempt to better regulate its burgeoning technology sector, it has emerged.
Khalid Al Rumaihi, the CEO of Bahrain's inward investment agency Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB), told journalists in Manama this week that it would be the first time a dedicated digital data law had been introduced in the region.
The legislation is intended to give greater certainty to companies and individuals on digital publishing and data protection issues.
A draft is being finalised for publication in the next two months, the CEO said, with a view to presenting to parliament soon afterwards.
Al Rumaihi said: "This [a regulatory framework for the digital and technology industry] is a key part of our strategy for attracting technology companies and customers to Bahrain.
"So, we, together with the government, are working on increasing the legislation around data privacy and data sovereignty.
"There are examples of where this regulation has been introduced in other parts of the world, but we think this will be the first in the region. We plan to do that in the next couple of months.
"Of course we want to work with other bodies – Ministry of Justice and other government departments – and we also want to consult with the private sector.
"We have already got a draft piece of this legislation and it is a matter of months before the government can present it to parliament and discuss it shortly."
He added: "For us, this is all part of our commitment to the [technology] industry."
Al Rumaihi was speaking at a media event at which Amazon Web Services, the cloud computing subsidiary of e-commerce giant Amazon, unveiled plans to build at least three huge data centres in Bahrain – its first data centres in the entire Middle East.
The move is expected to help public and private sector organisations use 'big data' and cloud computing to enhance their business activity, and create new jobs for Bahrain.

The South Dakota State women's soccer team had two players score their first goals of the season in a 3-0 win over IPFW...
Career games for sophomores Darci Miller and Megan Kingston helped the Jacks stay undefeated in The Summit League with a win over the Mastodons on a windy Sunday in Brookings, S.D.
Kingston, a transfer, scored two goals for the Jacks, the first coming in the 22nd minute on a cross from senior Kayla Braffet. Kingston took the ball out of the air and placed it inside the near post.
The goal was her first as a Jackrabbit.
The score was 1-0 at halftime, as SDSU controlled the ball despite being against a strong wind.
"I thought we, at times, played better against the wind [in the first half]," head coach Lang Wedemeyer said. "The wind definitely makes a difference. It is harder to clear the ball out during a pressure situation and a lot of balls are under hit. It is so windy out here so often; we have become used to it."
The Jacks outshot IPFW 13-1 in the first half, including a 4-0 shots on goal advantage. SDSU also took six corner kicks to the Mastodon's none.
It did not take long for SDSU to add to its lead.
Fifteen minutes into the second half, Miller received a pass from Christa Nyblom and finished from the top-center of the box, putting the Jacks ahead 2-0.
The goal was her first of the season.
SDSU controlled the ball for the majority of the second half, as well, and continued to create scoring opportunities.
In the 89th minute, Kingston added another goal, putting an exclamation point on the already impressive performance. Miller was credited with the assist.
"Hopefully this is just the beginning of things to come [for Megan Kingston]," Wedemeyer said. "We have talked to her a lot about getting into the box and on the back post and that is how she scored her first goal. We knew she had these capabilities, which is why we moved her from midfield to forward."
"Darci Miller had a great ball on [Kingston's] second goal and Kayla Braffet had a nice pass [on the first]; those are things we have been working a lot on in practice and it is nice to see them being executed," said Wedemeyer.
The Jacks outshot IPFW 22-2 in the game, including an 8-0 shots on goal advantage. SDSU held a 10-0 corner kicks advantage, as well.
The defense put in another solid performance and have now played 589 scoreless minutes; 560 coming to start conference play. In addition, the Jacks did not surrender a shot on goal in the two games this weekend.
Next up for the Jacks is the final weekend road trip of the regular season.
SDSU visits Vermillion, S.D., on Friday, Oct. 21, for a game against South Dakota. On Sunday, the Jacks travel to Kansas City, Mo., to face UMKC. Game times are set for 4 p.m. and 1 p.m., respectively.

December 19, 2017 . posted by SuperUser Account. 19:27 | in CAPE Program
ORANGE, Calif. (Dec. 18, 2017) – The California Council for Excellence (CCE) today named four organizations as the 2017 recipients of the California Awards for Performance Excellence (CAPE) Eureka Award for Performance Excellence. The honorees are recognized based on the Baldrige Framework for Performance Excellence for their outstanding commitment to sustainable excellence through innovation, continuous improvement, and visionary leadership.
The 2017 Eureka Award recipients are:
Gold Level
Adventist Health White Memorial, Los Angeles, Calif. (health care)
Silver Level
County of San Diego Health & Human Services Agency, San Diego, Calif. (government)
Mills-Peninsula Medical Center, Burlingame, Calif. (health care)
Adventist Health Sonora, Sonora, Calif. (health care)
Also honored with the Prospector Recognition is government agency San Francisco Public Works.
"I am honored to congratulate these organizations as CAPE Eureka Award recipients. These organizations bring the Baldrige Framework to life in its operations and culture via their commitments to performance excellence," said CAPE Council Chair and CCE Board member, Alice Fan.
Overseen by CCE, the CAPE program manages the awards process which adheres to the Baldrige Framework for Performance Excellence. The Eureka applicants were evaluated by teams comprised of the 2017 CAPE Board of Examiners. The rigorous evaluation process takes more than three months, including a weeklong site visit, and covers the applicants' performance in seven areas defined by the Baldrige Framework: leadership; strategy; customers; measurement, analysis and knowledge management; workforce; operations; and results. The Eureka application evaluation is overseen by the CAPE Board of Judges to ensure the integrity of the process and to recommend recognition levels to CCE's Board of Directors for ratification.
The CAPE Eureka Award process is modeled after that of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. The national Baldrige Performance Excellence Program raises awareness about the importance of performance excellence in driving the U.S. and global economy; provides organizational assessments, training, tools and criteria; educates leaders in businesses, schools, health care organizations, and government and nonprofit organizations; shares the best practices of national role models; and recognizes those role models with the Baldrige Award.
Founded in 1992, the California Council for Excellence is a nonprofit educational foundation dedicated to helping California-based organizations achieve world-class results though the principles of the Baldrige Excellence Framework. CCE also administers the California Team Excellence Awards (CTEA) program, which recognizes process management, innovation and problem-solving skills through organized work teams.

Germany is a country in love with football and with an impressive list of honours to boot. With three FIFA World Cup™ titles and three European Championships to their name, Germany may now be one of the most decorated football nations in the world, but it would be fair to say that they did not exactly take the game to their hearts straight away, as Der ganz grosse Traum (The Great Dream) shows in quite humorous fashion. The game was first introduced at the height of the German Empire, and it needed the strong personalities of a select group of pioneers who were enthralled by a game that was originally labelled as an "English disease" and used all of their nous to change German society's way of thinking and acting.
"Anyone who watches the film will get a sense of how football first came to Germany. We wanted to pay tribute to those football pioneers, but at the same time we wanted to try and explain why the game is so popular," says Raoul Reinert, the producer and brains behind the movie, in an interview with FIFA World.
"Where exactly do these emotions come from, these emotions that many people cannot explain? Where does this sense of community come from, this feeling of belonging? What kind of emotions does football create? We have tried to look at this deep-seated feeling, to try and explain football's beating heart, if you like."
And what better way to do that than to tell the story of the man who took the game to Germany in the first place? The main character in the film is a teacher by the name of Konrad Koch, who lived in England for a while before joining a school in Braunschweig in 1874, bringing with him not only some new ideas and a touch of British humour, but also a leather ball that he gave to a group of sceptical boys during a PE class.
"Try it. Kick it as hard as you like!" Koch (played by renowned German actor Daniel Brühl) tells the kids in the film. Just as in the movie, the school children's initial scepticism soon turned into a sense of enthusiasm that could not be stopped once it had taken root, despite the resistance that this "raw, English" game first encountered in Germany towards the end of the 19th century.
For dramatic reasons, the movie condenses the first 20 years of German football history into one sole school year, and even the depiction of Koch and his family is not exactly true to life. Koch's father, for example, is killed in action during the film, whereas in reality he was actually still teaching. Football historian Malte Oberschelp also points out that The Great Dream paints a picture of Koch that makes him appear to be more ahead of his time then he actually was.
"In the film, he is a modern, almost anti-authoritarian English teacher who wants to change the old-fashioned German school methods. He is also a pacifist in a German Empire dominated by the military, but in actual fact, Koch was a conservative and patriotic man who taught Latin and Greek and whose desire for reform stretched only as far as football and cricket."
The Great Dream is more of a drama than a documentary, however, which is hardly surprising as virtually all of the documents detailing Koch, his travels and his work as a teacher were destroyed when his school's archives went up in flames in the early 20th century.
Strong resistance
What is undisputed, however, is that football initially met with some strong resistance in Germany. The late 19th century was a time when certain countries began to step up their pursuit of colonies for their empires, which in turn led to an evermore critical German attitude towards England and of "the English game". The German associations of gymnasts and sports teachers were particularly critical of football, calling it "messing about with your feet" or "the English disease".
"Students and teachers were banned from playing football, and Bavaria did not allow football until 1927," explains Reinert. "Critics claimed that football would make children rebellious and unsuitable for future call-ups to the army. Today, it's virtually the exact opposite, as parents now enrol their children in football clubs so that they can build up their self-confidence and learn about team spirit."
Koch did not want to replace gymnastics with football, however. Quite the opposite in fact, as Koch thought that football would just be a welcome addition to the rather monotonous work on gymnastic equipment.
"Koch never intended to make a professional sport out of football or break from society's norms. He merely saw football as a 'game' and a welcome alternative to sitting around doing nothing or the youngsters' many trips to local bars," says Oberschelp.
German "Laws of the Game"
Twelve months after introducing his school to the game, Koch produced the first "Laws of the Game" in German. Koch's document was actually based on Friedrich Ludwig Jahn's principles of gymnastics being a fun pursuit, suggesting that Koch saw football as part of gymnastics and not as an alternative.
In contrast to the story told in the film, Koch actually started with a rugby ball and only allowed a mixed form of association football to be played during the winter, which explains why his regulations allowed players to "receive the ball" with their hands in certain situations. It was only later that Koch adapted his "laws" to those of English association football so that players were stopped from picking the ball up. The referee's whistle and penalty kicks were also only introduced at a later stage.
Criticism of the game's English origins from Germans merely strengthened Koch's determination to translate football-specific terms into German as part of his efforts to make sure football took root in Germany. In doing so, he used a lot of German military vocabulary (such as Stürmer for striker) and his terms are still in use today.
To try and keep the protests from German nationals as quiet as possible, Koch even went a step further by expressly banning all footballers – including children – from using the English terms. In 1901, Koch wrote: "Every spectator who feels German will be tempted to grab hold of a boy who talks about 'goals' and 'kicking' to impress upon him just how unsuitable that actually is for a German boy."
Anyone who watches the film will get a sense of how football first came to Germany.
Mind the wind
There is an interesting parallel to all of this in the medical work now being carried out by the FIFA Medical Assessment and Research Centre (F-MARC), in that one of Koch's contemporaries, Dr Friedrich Reck, also looked into the medical aspects of football right from the very start, even though most of his findings would hold little weight today. One of his guidelines, for example, was that "When setting up the pitch for a game, it should be ensured that no student has to run into an easterly wind. Furthermore, no student may take off his jacket without permission. This permission will only be given to those who wear a woollen shirt."
Koch's own "laws" also contained stipulations about line-ups, as back then teams played an incredible brand of attacking football with five attackers in a 2-3-5 formation.
But no matter which rules were used, those early football pioneers had no doubt that football was a unifying force. Whether the players were rich, poor, clever or not so clever, they knew that everyone played together in a team and that only together would they be able to achieve their goals. In Der ganz grosse Traum, for example, there is a working-class boy who is an outsider in his school class before he is accepted by the middle-class boys thanks to his skills on the football pitch, the perfect example of just what football can do.
"Being successful together. Team spirit, or, as Konrad Koch would have described it, camaraderie. That may just be the secret behind the incredible success of football," suggests Reinert.
The first clubs
Koch's name is also inextricably linked to the history of football clubs in Germany, as he formed the first club for students in Braunschweig in 1875. Three years later, new clubs were formed in Hannover and Bremen, although they were also open to non-students and rugby was played as well as football. In 1888, the first football-only club was founded in Berlin (BFC Germania), and in 1895, the first adults-only club was formed in Braunschweig.
Koch, however, believed that football was a sport for gymnasts, even though the vast majority of them wanted little to do with the game. Instead, football went from strength to strength in sports clubs.
"As paradoxical as it may now sound, Koch actually rejected the sport when it came to confrontations with the world of gymnastics," insists Oberschelp. "There were some major clashes between followers of the two sports around then, and Koch mostly sided with the gymnasts. He also frowned upon the colourful, English-style shirts that footballers wore at sports clubs, and he was not in favour of playing against foreign teams, training, big crowds and especially professionalism."
Koch was not the only man who paved the way for the development and commercial success of the game, however, as Reinert explains: "Koch was the man who introduced football in schools and he also formed the first student team. He was also the first person to translate the English laws, but another key man in the history of German football was Walter Bensemann, who, unlike Koch, quickly saw the unifying power and the commercial potential of football because of international matches and the increasing global popularity of the game."
Bensemann was one of the men who founded the German Football Association (DFB) in 1900 before going on to launch Kicker, a respected German football magazine that is still going strong today. The Great Dream, however, tells the story of Konrad Koch, a man whose pioneering spirit laid the foundations for football to gain strength in Germany.
A story worth telling
The Great Dream has already been in cinemas in Germany and Austria for a few weeks, and has also been seen by the current German team. As the film's star, Brühl, who describes the movie as a cross between The Miracle of Berne and Dead Poets Society, even got to meet the team at a special screening in February.
"For me, it is much more exciting to meet the national team than German Chancellor Angela Merkel or a Hollywood star, for instance. This is the kind of thing you dream about as a young boy," said a visibly delighted Brühl before revealing in an interview with the German Football Association that his first "encounter" with Konrad Koch was "very embarrassing".
"I'd always thought that I was a football fan with an incredible knowledge of the game, but when I realised that I knew nothing about Konrad Koch, the man who brought the game to Germany, I felt like a candidate on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? who gets the €500 question wrong!" There was, however, a small measure of consolation for Brühl when he found out that his football-crazy friends had not heard of Koch either.
"I find it incredible that there hasn't been a film about this man before. His life is definitely a story worth telling," said Brühl after completing the movie. German film critics would seem to agree, with the movie having already picked up three nominations for the 2011 German Film Awards, including for Best Picture. The Great Dream is also set to receive international attention this month when it is due to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival.

Steven J. Scheinman, M.D., named dean of the College of Medicine
Steven J. Scheinman, M.D., chief of the nephrology division and professor of medicine and pharmacology at SUNY Upstate Medical University, has been named executive vice president and dean of the College of Medicine. The appointment, effective March 1, was announced by SUNY Upstate President Gregory L. Eastwood, M.D.
Scheinman succeeds William J. Williams, M.D., as dean and becomes the 21st dean of the College of Medicine since its establishment in 1834 as Geneva Medical College.
"Dr. Scheinman brings exceptional accomplishments and abilities to this position," said Eastwood. "He is a remarkably talented medical scientist, a gifted educator, and a highly respected physician. I look forward to working with Dr. Scheinman to achieve the goals we have set to make Upstate a first-tier, nationally recognized academic medical center."
In accepting the dean's post, Dr. Scheinman said, "I am honored and excited to be asked to serve Upstate in this important role. We have a wonderful faculty and staff, and talented students. This is a campus full of energy and ideas and I am confident that together we can chart a course to bring us a future of growth and opportunity."
As dean and executive vice president, Scheinman will oversee a college that has gained significant ground in attracting top tier medical students and increased research funding. Last fall the college enrolled its top academically performing class in the last decade and continues to see increases in applications. On the research front, SUNY Upstate faculty have increased their research productivity, and research expenditures at Upstate have risen more than 80 percent in the last six years, exceeding $34 million this year. Additionally the college is in the midst of implementing mission-based management, a budgeting concept that will assist the college in better aligning resources with key institutional priorities or missions. The college currently enrolls more than 600 students and supports a faculty of 480 representing 18 clinical and five basic science departments.
Scheinman's association with SUNY Upstate began in 1980 when he served as chief resident in internal medicine; he was named a nephrology fellow in 1981. After a nephrology fellowship at Yale-New Haven Hospital, Scheinman was named assistant professor of medicine at SUNY Upstate in 1984 and has been a member of the faculty ever since. In 1994, he was appointed chief of the nephrology division and was named a professor of pharmacology and medicine. He also serves as a lecturer in the Program in Medical Humanities.
He has served on dozens of SUNY Upstate committees addressing nearly every facet of campus operations, including curriculum, research, space allocation, finances and recruitment.
As a researcher, Scheinman has been recognized for his work on kidney disease. He received the SUNY Chancellor's Research Recognition Award (2002), SUNY President's Award for Excellence and Leadership in Research (2001) and the Charles R. Ross Research Award (1992), among others.
Scheinman's research has concentrated on the genetics of kidney disease, and particularly kidney stones. Much of this work focuses on hypercalciuria or excessive urinary calcium excretionthe most common identifiable cause of kidney stones. His research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health since 1985.
He has authored more than 60 scholarly publications. Most are reports of original scientific research, published in such journals as Nature, the New England Journal of Medicine, the American Journal of Physiology, the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, Kidney International, and the Journal of Clinical Investigation, among others. They also include invited reviews, book chapters, and monographs. Scheinman has served on several editorial boards and currently is an associate editor of NephSAP. He is an ad hoc reviewer for many journals, including Science and the New England Journal of Medicine.
A board certified physician, Scheinman has been featured in Best Doctors in America and Who's Who in America. He is an attending physician at University and Crouse hospitals and at the Veterans Administration Medical Center, in Syracuse.
Scheinman earned his undergraduate degree at Amherst College, summa cum laude, in 1973 and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He received his medical degree from Yale University, cum laude, in 1977, where he received the Lange Award. He served his medical residency at the Yale-New Haven Hospital before coming to SUNY Upstate.
Scheinman lives in Syracuse. He has two children: Edward, a freshman at Yale University; and Jane, a ninth-grader at the Emma Willard School in Troy, N.Y.

An Interesting Fact About The Python Garbage Collector
While Python prides itsself of being a simple, straightforward programming language and being explicit is pointed out as a core value, of course, one can always discover interpreter specifics and implementation detail, that one did not expect to find when working at the surface. These days I learned more about a peculiar property of the Python garbage collector, that I would like to share.
Let's start by introducing the problem quickly. Python manages its objects primarily by reference counting. I.e. each object stores how many times it is referenced from other places, and this reference count is updated over the runtime of the program. If the reference count drops to zero, the object cannot be reached by the Python code anymore, and the memory can be freed/reused by the interpreter.
An optional method
__del__ is called by the Python interpreter when
the object is about to be destroyed. This allows us to do some cleanup,
for example closing database connections, etc. Typically
rarely has to be defined. For our example we will use it to illustrate
when the disposal of an object happens:
The situation in memory resembles this schematic:
│ a │────────────┐
└────┘ ▼
┌────┐ ┌───────────────┐
│ b │───▶│A() refcount=3 │
└────┘ └───────────────┘
┌────┐ ▲
│ c │────────────┘
Now we let the variables
b, and
c point to
None instead of
the instance
Changing the situation to:
┌────┐ ┌────┐
│ a │─┬─▶│None│
└────┘ │ └────┘
┌────┐ │ ┌───────────────┐
│ b │─┤ │A() refcount=0 │
└────┘ │ └───────────────┘
┌────┐ │
│ c │─┘
After we have overwritten the last reference (
c) to our instance of
A, the object is destroyed, which triggers a call to
__del__ just
before really destroying the object.
Cyclic References
However, there are instances where the reference count cannot simply go down to zero, it is the case of cylic references:
│ a │
┌──│A() refcount=2 │◀─┐
│ └───────────────┘ │
│ ┌───────────────┐ │
└─▶│B() refcount=1 │──┘
a to
None, we will still have refcounts of
>= 1. For these
cases, Python employs a garbage collector, some code that traverses
memory and applies more complicated heuristics to discover unused
objects. We can use the
gc module to manually trigger a garbage
collection run.
However, since
A implements
__del__, Python refuses to clean them,
arguing that it cannot not tell, which
__del__ method to call first.
Instead of doing the wrong thing (invoking them in the wrong sequence),
Python decides to rather do nothing – avoiding undefined behaviour, but
introducing a potential memory leak.
In fact, Python will not clean any objects in the cycle, which can possibly render a huger group of objects to pollute memory (see https://docs.python.org/2/library/gc.html#gc.garbage ). We can inspect the list of objects, which could not be garbage collected:
Finally, if you remove the
__del__ method from the class, you would
not find these objects in
gc.garbage, as Python would just dispose of
Python 3
As it turns out, from Python 3.4 on, the issue I wrote about does not
exist anymore.
__del__ s do not impede garbage collection any more, so
gc.garbage will only be filled for other reasons. For details, you can
read PEP 442 and the
Python docs.
Considering the adoption of Python 3.4, most Python code bases have to
be careful about when to use

For example, in addition to attempting to turn the Justice Department into a political arm of the Republican Party (which has really become a front for the conservative movement and the Religious Right), the President has done the same with the National Institute for Health. Mother Jones reported back in 20o2
As the nation's premier research center, the National Institutes of Health is supposed to be insulated from politics. The agency has long appointed respected health professionals -- regardless of their political beliefs -- to advisory councils that help direct the nation's medical research on everything from genetic disorders to the common cold. "The NIH casts a broad net and deliberately creates a diverse council that can give them input," says Steven Hayes, a University of Nevada professor who sits on the National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse at the NIH.And since then, things haven't improved. The latest example of the Bush administration's attempt to subvert democracy (and reality) to ideology comes from the testimony of Bush's former Surgeon General who stated before an oversight committee
But the Bush administration has been screening candidates about their political views -- an unprecedented move intended to make sure that conservatives get seats on NIH advisory councils. In some cases, Mother Jones has learned, a White House liaison with the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the NIH, has called candidates and asked detailed questions about their political leanings.
Much of the discussion was being driven by theology, ideology, pre-conceived beliefs that were scientifically incorrect. So I thought this is a perfect example of the Surgeon General being able to step forward, educate the American public as well as elected and appointed officials so that we can have, if you will, informed consent on an issue to the American public to make better decisions. I was blocked at every turn. I was told the decision had already been made. Stand down, don't talk about it. In speeches where initially that information was put in speeches it was removed from my speeches…And from the New York Times we hear that at one meeting of top officials global warming was dismissed as a "liberal cause." And
The administration, Dr. Carmona said, would not allow him to speak or issue reports about stem cells, emergency contraception, sex education, or prison, mental and global health issues. Top officials delayed for years and tried to "water down" a landmark report on secondhand smoke, he said. Released last year, the report concluded that even brief exposure to cigarette smoke could cause immediate harm.That article also notes that previous Surgeon General's have faced political pressure under the Clinton and Reagan administration, but that no one had faced politicization to the extent that Dr. Carmona has.
Dr. Carmona said he was ordered to mention President Bush three times on every page of his speeches. He also said he was asked to make speeches to support Republican political candidates and to attend political briefings.
As Alonzo says
Who are these creatures that they think it is morally good and proper to play political games with our health - to sell our lives to the highest bidder?These creatures are "movement conservatives". And this is what they do in power ... they work to consolidate more power in the service of ideology. Democracy be damned.

Ever hear the term "content fatigue?"
It's the idea that there's so much content that people can't even consume it any more. There's too much to read, too many social media posts, and too many articles that appear when you Google something.
The amount of content out there is overwhelming.
But the fact is— content marketing works. It drives traffic to websites, builds authority, and can drives leads down sales funnels. But as we move towards 2016, we need to find ways to blow past content fatigue so that we're consistently impressing, educating, and delighting our audiences.
In the coming year, we can beat content fatigue by challenging ourselves when it comes to how we think about marketing. To that end, I've outlined 6 content marketing trends you should be prepared to capitalize on in 2016.
I've also reached out to a number of my marketer and entrepreneur friends and asked them to share their thoughts on 2016 trends. You'll find great information and insight from them throughout this post.
1. Beyond The Blog Post
Blog posts are the perfect vehicle for relaying information quickly and succinctly. You can read a blog post while you're waiting in line. Unfortunately, the traditional 500-800 word blog post isn't compelling enough to people anymore.
These days, content marketers need to think beyond simply publishing blog posts week after week. You need to think bigger in terms of the purpose behind the content you create, the repurposing opportunities that exist, and the life and evolution of the content itself.
"Your content needs to bring something new to the conversation in 2016. It's not about simply producing content and having a blog anymore– you need to be a unique voice with powerful insights if you want to stand out from the noise." — Kaleigh Moore, Freelance Copywriter at KaleighMoore.com
"Instapage focuses heavily on content marketing. We believe that it a primary element in raising brand awareness. Interactive content and GIF's will prove to be a powerful trend. Our use of interactive content has already improved our engagement and we foresee this continuing through 2016." — Kieran Daniels, Director of Business Development at Instapage
"I really think that companies that will move away from the standard "must-publish each day/week" approach and choose the "Opposite Framework" will win. Creating & promoting long-form 10x content that provides real value not only to the target audience, but also to influencers will make the difference." — Alin Vlad, Director of Online at Heimdal Security
Before you consider producing a blog post, you need to think about how you can promote that content and re-use it in different ways (ebooks, graphics, emails, social media updates, etc.).
For example, when I created Team Building Games for When I Work, I wasn't ok with coming up with a link-baity title and throwing together 5 or 6 lame ideas. Instead, I planned and strategized and packaged 7,000+ words into an awesome, compelling content hub.
2. Deeper Personalization
Ever feel like an article or ad is speaking directly to you? It doesn't happen often, but when it does, you find it extremely compelling.
Content marketers need to be more specific with the topics they come up with if they want to actually connect with customers. General topics are boring. Personalized topics that readers can actually relate to and use will be much more valuable and effective.
"People are getting smarter about how they get information, and are weeding out things that don't apply to what they want when they want it, so I think personalization is going to be a lot more critical in the coming years. Success will derive from TRULY understanding the customer journey and targeting messages that speak to needs at whatever stage they're in." — Katrishia Velez, SEO and Content Manager at Kroll
"Businesses should understand the importance of going after the "long tail" when it comes to content marketing. Niching down won't help you target your demographic, it'll help you HYPER-target them." – Dan Scalco, Director of Growth at Digitalux
For example, if I was heading up content marketing at a customer support SaaS company, I wouldn't just publish general topics over and over again about customer support. Instead, I might publish something more personalized and specific to the needs of my audience.
Consider the difference between these two posts:
- 15 Ways To Become a Better Customer Service Pro (yuck)
- How To Use Language & Communication Psychology To Put Out Fires & Delight Your Most Challenging Customers (better)
One is a simple click-baity article, though it could be full of good nuggets, while the other specifically targets the type of language a customer support pro would need to use to excel in their job.
3. In-Line Content Upgrade Offers
When was the last time you clicked on a Call-to-Action (CTA) at the end of a blog post?
Traditional lead gen CTAS (typically placed at the beginning or end of a blog post) are not as effective as they once were. People skip over them. You can't just slap on the same ebook CTA to the bottom of all your blog posts and expect to grow your list.
"If your content marketing lead gen tactics are on auto-pilot, you're doing something wrong. As a content marketer, it's your job to test and implement new tactics that can fuel sign-ups and growth. Don't just rely on the same old blog RSS opt-in form that you've always used and expect your list to grow dramatically. Instead, think of new ways to fuel list growth. My favorite new tactic that I've been testing is simple: create additional resources (checklists, worksheets, templates, etc.) and bake them organically into blog posts. Make sure they are uber specific and relate directly to what you're writing about. They don't have to be complicated or require a lot of additional resources to create…they just have to offer a bit more value than what you're offering in the post itself. Give them away for free in exchange for email addresses and promote the hell out of them." — Sujan Patel, Founder at Content Marketer
You have to do more work to develop content upgrades that relate to your blog post. Then you have to offer those content upgrades naturally within the text of your blog posts. CoSchedule does a good job of this – they are constantly offering checklists and templates that you can download that add even more value to their blog posts.
4. Promotion-Driven Content
In addition to developing high-quality content that actually helps people, it's also important to develop promotion-driven content. This simply means strategically developing content that you can actually promote.
You can do this by including quotes from influencers, mentioning people or tools, or making giant lists that include a lot of people. If you do these posts right, you should be able to email a handful of people within seconds of your post going live to let them know you included them.
For example, if you're writing a guide on how to plan an employee holiday party, you can create a list of company culture experts and event planners.
Then, you can email each person on this list, and ask for some insights, which you include in your guide. When the guide is published, you can email those who shared their insights, and encourage them to share the guide with their audience.
"I think outreach is pretty crucial if you want your content to gain traction. By contacting companies/individuals that you mention in your articles, as well as industry blogs, you can really get a huge boost to your content's exposure." — Kane Miller, Founder at DoSocial
"B2B content and marketing teams need to work more closely with account management and sales in two areas: topic development and distribution. Client-facing teams are instant, untapped distribution channels that are currently underutilized. Practical tips: integrate content marketing with cold emails and lead nurturing campaigns, to build relationships at scale." — Ritika Puri, Founder at Storyhackers
When creating content that's promotion-driven, I recommend making it 80% educational, value-based content, and 20% promotion-driven. BUT it's important that the promotion-driven content that makes up that 20% is still valuable and authentic. It can't be overly promotional or disingenuous. It has to be real.
5. Education-Focused Content
When you want to know something, how often do you turn to Google? I do it all the time.
Educational content has always worked. When you create something that solves people's problems, it's likely to be successful. Additionally, Google likes to give people answers, so if you're able to create a post that provides the best possible answer to a search query, you're likely to get some organic traffic.
"Old standbys, like email and educational content, will still work as we move into the future. People are still checking their email, and they're still Googling around for articles that can answer their most pressing questions. When I want to know which curling iron to buy, I want to read a great article that gives me information on my options." — Emma Siemasko, Founder, Stories by Emma
"Companies should stop going after high traffic keywords with their blog posts and switch their strategy to go after more long-tail search traffic. In doing this while at ThinkApps, I was able to increase their organic traffic from 0-12k unique visitors a month in just 6 months. It's less competitive and if you focus on matching content to search intent, it will also drive qualified leads for your company. For example, when I was at a software development company, one article we wrote that proved valuable for us was content about iOS vs. android development. If you think about a buyers search intent when they're searching for something like this, they have typically decided that they're going to build an app but they just need help deciding which platform to build on first. By providing valuable content early on in the decision making process, that person is more likely to come back to you for your services because you built trust with them by helping them weigh the pros and cons of each platform." — Benji Hyam, Director of Growth at Everwise
"The trend is for people to produce more low quality content – which gives smart content marketers the ability to cut through the crap with really strong, authoritative, helpful content. Throw away the rubbish and write stuff that genuinely helps people. I'm reading more and more comments about how articles are providing nothing more than regurgitated information and not enough new content." — William Harris, VP of Marketing & Growth at Dollar Hobbyz
In 2016, content marketers have an opportunity to produce some really awesome education-focused content in the form of email drips, courses, and other types of advanced media.
Tools like GetDrip, ConvertKit, and Teachable make it easy to create educational content that will resonate with your audience.
6. Email Marketing
Email marketing can help you reach everyone. In fact, according to Pew Research, 92% of adults use email.
Additionally, people like receiving emails from companies. According to Nielsen, when asked to opt-in to receive updates from a company 90% of people chose to receive those updates via email, compared to 10% that wanted updates via Facebook.
Email is still one of the best ways to communicate directly with people, but you have to be strategic and proactive in your efforts. You have to commit to building your list, but you also need to be ready to consistently communicate with the people that sign up to receive your updates.
Of course, you also need to have something to say. Email requires that you get back to basics, creating well-designed emails that are easy to read.
Tools can help. Email marketing tools like GetDrip and Campaign Monitor can help you easily create all kinds of email campaigns.
7. Content Repurposing
As we enter 2016, many of us will have built up an immense library of content. Instead of automatically creating new content, we should ask ourselves how we can improve on what we already have. Maybe we can refine an article so that it's more likely to appear in Google search results. Perhaps we can turn an eBook into an email course.
"If content is a coveted business asset, then try to imagine ways you can get the most mileage from it. One great topic can provide the foundation for a multitude of content. A webinar or podcast can be transcribed and turned into various blog posts and posts that are perfect for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. A long video can be edited into short-form content that is published to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Many organizations complain that they have the lack of resources or budget to create content. And while there is such a thing as too much content, or a lack of quality content, businesses that think about re-purposing material on various channels have a better shot of extending their brand and ending up in the never-ending cascade of content in a social stream." – Taylor Pipes, Content Writer, Evernote
In 2016, take a look at content that's already performed well on your blog, and figure out ways to repurpose or reuse it. Maybe it can become an email course or an eBook. Look at content that didn't perform well, but has potential. See if you can find opportunities to improve how it ranks in SERPS, or if you can repromote the content on social media.
Tactics to Beat Fatigue
As we approach a new year, we need to take a step back and look at where our content efforts currently stand, and where we want to go in the future.
We don't want people getting tired of our content. We want to make sure that we're continuing to be innovative. We want to use tactics that lead to results.
What do you expect to see in 2016? What content marketing trends should we incorporate into our strategies?

Protester Not Found to Be An Interested Party Where It Was The Awardee
Entry posted by Centre Law & Consulting ·
475 views
Yes, you read the title correctly – a protester actually protested its own future award. In an interesting twist of fate, a company recently filed a pre-award bid protest only to find out that the agency had already evaluated the protester's bid and intended to award the contract to the protester.
Daekee Global Company, Ltd., a South Korean company, protested the terms of a solicitation issued by the Department of Navy for ship husbanding services arguing that the evaluation scheme failed to evaluate offerors' technical capabilities or past performance. The agency subsequently requested the dismissal of the protest because Daekee had not been prejudiced by the terms of the solicitation. Specifically, the agency argued that Daekee submitted an offer that was evaluated by the agency and that the agency intended to award a contract to Daekee. In response, Daekee argued that the merits of its protest should still be addressed as, even though it would be an awardee, the issues Daekee raised would not be addressed or corrected if its protest were to be dismissed.
Unsurprisingly, the GAO did not bite on Daekee's argument. In its decision, the GAO found that Daekee was not an interested party as it did not suffer any competitive prejudice because Daekee did not suffer any competitive disadvantage or otherwise affect its ability to compete. Because the agency represents that once the protest is resolved and the stay of the award is lifted it will award a contract to Daekee, the GAO found that it does not have jurisdiction to entertain the protest.

After nearly 60 years in the Atlantic Coast Conference, the University of Maryland is leaving for the Big Ten. President Wallace Loh announced Monday that the Terrapins will officially join their new conference on July 1, 2014.
The university's Board of Regents voted "very strongly" to leave the conference it helped found in 1953, according to Loh. Maryland is the second school to leave the ACC; South Carolina, now in the Southeastern Conference, left in 1971 to become an independent.
"Our best wishes are extended to all of the people associated with the University of Maryland," ACC commissioner John Swofford said in a statement. "Since our inception, they have been an outstanding member of our conference and we are sorry to see them exit. For the past 60 years the Atlantic Coast Conference has exhibited leadership in academics and athletics. This is our foundation and we look forward to building on it as we move forward."
The decision has been reported to be a financial one. Maryland had to cut seven sports this year in order to overcome a multimillion-dollar deficit and joining the Big Ten will entitle it to a bigger share of revenue. Yet, Maryland might have to shell out $50 million to leave the ACC, a recently-increased amount that it voted against in September, albeit unsuccessfully.
Maryland will likely be accompanied by Rutgers as the two schools have been connected throughout the process. If both schools join the Big Ten, it will give the conference 14 teams -- Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin are the others -- and an incredibly misleading name.
The ACC is adding three new members starting in 2013. Pittsburgh and Syracuse are both arriving next year, while Notre Dame will do the same in all sports except for football and hockey in 2015. According to reports, Connecticut, currently in the Big East, would be the most logical replacement for Maryland.
