The Particulars
Harvard takes to the road after winning its first three dual matches of the season, defeating Denver 4-0, Drake 4-1 and DePaul 4-0 last weekend. Harvard heads to the Midwest and can expect some stiff competition when they take on No. 36 Vanderbilt, No. 29 Indiana, and Butler on a three game road swing. The matches are slated for Feb. 3 (Vanderbilt) at 12 p.m., Feb. 4 (Indiana) scheduled for 2 p.m. and Feb. 5 (Butler) starting at 10 a.m.
Last Time Out
Harvard kicked off its dual season last weekend when it hosted Denver, Drake and DePaul for a two day round robin dual match tournament. Harvard opened up with the Pioneers Friday afternoon and impressed early, taking the doubles point behind the solid play of Casey MacMaster and Alistair Felton along with Christo Schultz and Jon Pearlman. In singles play the trio of Alex Steinroeder, Schultz and Shaun Chaudhuri won its singles matches to give Harvard the 4-0 victory over Denver.
Harvard began doubles play with Drake on Friday night as MacMaster and Felton once again won their match along with Shultz and Henry Steer to take a 1-0 lead over the Bulldogs headed into Saturday. Steinreoder and Schultz and Chaudhuri reeled in their second wins of the weekend to help lift the Crimson to a 4-1 win over Drake.
Later that day Harvard played in its final match of the weekend facing DePaul. Harvard took doubles for the third straight match with MacMaster and Felton and Schultz and Steer again taking wins. Steer, Schultz and Chadhuri all gained singles victories and Harvard improved to 3-0 on the year, beating DePaul 4-0.
Scouting The Competition
The No. 36 Commodores enter Friday's contest 2-1 on the year after recording wins against Middle Tennessee State and No. 49 BYU while losing to No. 12 Pepperdine. Charlie Jones has played out of the one spot for Vanderbilt and has gone 2-1 in three dual matches this season. Before its loss against Pepperdine, Vanderbilt had gone 8-3 in singles competition while going 3-3 in Doubles.
The No. 29 Hoosiers are 3-2 entering Saturday's match with the Crimson, most recently falling to No. 2 Ohio State. Indiana has recorded victories over Western Michigan, Toledo and No. 28 Notre Dame. Its number one singles player Isade Juneau has lost only one match since Jan. 6 between tournament and dual match action. Juneau has gone 7-1 in that span, with his only loss coming to Alex Musialek of No.7 Kentucky.
The Bulldogs enter having suffered three-straight defeats at No. 3 Ohio State (7-0) at Northern Illinois (5-2) and at Wisconsin (6-1). Austin Woldmoe has played out of the number one spot for Butler and has accrued a 1-2 record, registering a win against Northern Illinois' Maksym Bartiuk, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. Meanwhile the top doubles paring of Billy Weldon and Woldmoe have gone 1-2 in their three matches recording a victory over Northern Illinios' Mikhail Titov and Roman Turtgin 8-1.
History Lesson:
Harvard has limited history with the trio they play this weekend holding a 1-0 series lead over Vanderbilt, and has gone 1-2 against Indiana. In the only meeting with the Commodores, Harvard came away with a narrow 5-4 victory in a match played back in 1942. Meanwhile the Crimson has claimed one win over the Hoosiers in a contest in 1995, securing a 5-0 win, however recent history hasn't been kind to the Crimson as Indiana has defeated Havard 6-1 the last two years (2010 and 2011). Sunday will be the first time the Crimson has ever faced off against Butler.
So Far So Good
Harvard's first foray into dual matches this season was impressive on many accounts, but it's hard to overlook the 3-0 record that they hold. In fact the 3-0 start is the best beginning to its dual-match season since 2005 when it defeated St. Joseph's Penn and Princeton the team's opening weekend.
Nice to Meet You
While names like Steinroeder, Nguyen and Steer have been prominent when it comes to Harvard men's tennis, fans might want to become familiar with another, Shaun Chaudhuri. Chaudhuri went an impressive 3-0 from the fifth and sixth sports for the Crimson. Chaudhuri gained Harvard a singles point in every single contest he played this past weekend and helped the Crimson earn decisions over Denver, Drake and DePaul. With the wins, Chaudhuri has quietly put together a strong freshman campaign to this point tallying a 11-6 record which is the fourth-best singles mark on the team.
Welcome Back
Aside from the freshman that have helped give the Crimson ample support through the fall and beginning of the spring season, it has been buoyed by the return of another player, Christo Schultz. The sophomore has been impressive in his first month of duty after taking a short break from team activities, going 4-0 in singles action and 5-0 in doubles play. Schultz competed out of the four spot this past weekend and went 2-0 in those matches.
Next Up
Harvard will welcome No. 32 Virginia Tech and Boston University for two dual meets on Feb. 11 scheduled for 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. respectively.

Hi, I was wondering if there might be a way of triggering a middle mouse drag as a tap or hold instead of a drag?
Basically the middle mouse wheel scrolls quite smoothly whereas the zoom out key - minus key zooms out too much.
I deally I would like to add a minute middle mouse scroll to a tap or hold gesture so that I dont have to use the minus key.
Yes I could use a mouse drag, but I dont want to have to scroll with my fingers as tapping is usually easier.

CMS ended their season May 15, 2011 against Gettysburg College in the second round of NCAA play. The Athenas opened up the game at Seagull Stadium in Salisbury, MD at 2:30 pm. Senior captain Sarah Dick (Beverly, MA) scored the first goal of the game off a clean possession by the Athenas. Both teams struggled to maintain possession, but with a series of turnovers Gettysburg found their rythem and the Bullets scored 12 unanswered goals. The Athenas rallied back late in the half, adding two in the last few minutes. The teams left the first with the scoreboard reading 12-3.
CMS came out hard after the break and scored the first goal of the second half. Gettysburg answered right back but athe Athenas were able to score the next three. The Athenas picked up their game considerably in the second half and outscored the Bullets 8-6. However, the first half deficit was too great to climb back from. Aside from scoring troubles in the first half the Athenas totaled 24 turnovers the entire game. Lack of possesion made it hard for the CMS side to battle back.
Senior Sarah Dick finished the game with 4 goals and also posted the 200th goal of her career. Junior Ali Abramovitz (Denver, CO) added a hat trick and sophomore Madi Shove (Portola Valley) tallied a pair. Athena scoring was rounded out by single tallies from Rachel Darby and Allie Haynes. The Bullets were led by Hannah Church who posted 5 goals on the day. The Athenas lost by a final score of 18-11.
Gettysburg College faced Salisbury University Sunday, May 15th and defeated the 2010 National Champions. They will head to the final four.
CMS finishes the 2011 season 16-3, overall.

DENVER -- A subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd. will open a research and development center in suburban Denver in a move expected to create hundreds of new jobs during the next five years, it was announced Friday.
Colorado development officials say the move by HDS to Meridian Corporate Center in Douglas County further expands the prominence of the state in the technology and electronics industry.
About a year ago, Arrow Electronics Inc. transferred its global headquarters to Englewood and has added about 400 jobs.
"What you're starting to see is a momentum and a real depth that is starting to develop around those industries," said Ken Lund, director of the Colorado Office of Economic Development.
Santa Clara, Calif.-based HDS provides mid-range and high-end enterprise storage systems, software and services.
Hitachi vice president Randy DeMont said 200 jobs _ mostly engineers _ should be added at the new Colorado site within a year. Hires also will be made in human resources, finance and marketing.
Hitachi also is considering a possible call center in Douglas County. About 50 people already work for HDS in downtown Denver.
"What you're getting in Colorado today is a long-term commitment from a good company," DeMont said after poking fun at some of the equipment brought by reporters covering the announcement.
"We had nothing to do with this microphone arrangement that is duct-taped together," DeMont said to laughs from the crowd.
The jobs are welcome news. Colorado's unemployment rate for August was 8.2 percent, a slight improvement from July's rate of 8.3 percent.
Friday brought news that the national unemployment rate slid to 7.8 percent in September, falling below 8 percent for the first time since 2009. State-specific numbers weren't yet available for September.

One of my favorite movies is "The Legend of Bagger Vance," in which eccentric caddy Vance (played by Will Smith), carries the golf bag of Rannulph Junuh (played by Matt Damon), a formerly good player, who hasn't played since his devastating experiences 10 years prior in World War I, in a match against golf legends Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen. At one point, one of Junuh's supporters asks Bagger Vance why Junuh is playing so poorly. Vance answers: "He still thinks he's Rannulph Junuh."
"But he is Rannulph Junuh," cried the fan.
"Well," replied Bagger Vance, "he is, and he ain't."
Bagger Vance's challenge was to get Rannulp Junuh to realize he wasn't the player he used to be, so he could play golf in a way that would work for him in the present. Like Bagger, one of the biggest challenges we have as business consultants is to get owner-advisors to let go of their old ways of doing business. Yes, their approach has gotten them to this point—no question about that—but 10 out of 10 times, it's not going to get them to the next level. How can I be so sure? Because if it was working, they wouldn't be talking to me.
Simply put, advisors who want to grow a more successful business and reach their goals cannot rely on their experiences up to this point. What they have to understand is that what got them to this level is not going to get them to the next level. The truth is that when they reach the point when they realize they need to change, they need to change. They need to tell themselves: What I've done to get my business to this point is not what I'm going to do going forward.
I have a great owner-advisor client in the Midwest who does almost everything I suggest—the kind of client you dream about. But in our initial meeting, he stated in no uncertain terms that he never wants to have a partner: He had a partner once, it turned out badly and he never wants to repeat that experience. But he did want to grow his firm significantly larger. So we created the foundation for a successful one-owner firm, hired some great employees including two advisors, trained them, supported them and built systems that maximized operational efficiency. For a few years, the firm was running great, growing nicely and making an impressive profit margin. Then it reached capacity, and his firm didn't grow for two years.
About that time, I got a call from my client, who said he wanted to hire another advisor—a CFP who is also a CPA—and merge the smaller accounting firm with his advisory business. This was the business model we had been using—and it wasn't easy finding young advisors who were okay without a partnership track. But I saw a bigger opportunity in this experienced accountant: We could bring the accountant into the advisory firm as a partner, help him sell his accounting firm to the employees, and stipulate that, when appropriate, they refer clients to the advisory firm. Of course, my advisor client didn't want to do it at first, but to his credit, he listened with an open mind and eventually decided to take my suggestion. We closed the deal and doubled the size of his firm in eight months with a new partner.
To help owner-advisors let go of what worked in the past and focus on building a business of the future, we've developed the following four-point process:
Face the fact that you're not that cool. Yes, you've built a successful small business, but you're not Steve Jobs. You can continue to pat yourself on the back and stay where you are, or you can admit that you don't know everything about building an advisory business and learn to do things differently. Of course, consultants don't know everything either, but some of us have seen what worked and what didn't in hundreds of advisory firms over many years, so we have a pretty good idea. The important thing is to allow yourself to try new directions. If they don't work out the way you want, make adjustments or try something else.
Build a foundation for growth. I can't emphasize this step enough: You can't build a cigarette boat out of a canoe. To grow an advisory firm, you need to create an advisory firm that's ready to grow. The first thing we do is put the right people in the right jobs (this is necessary in almost every firm). Often, employees who have been there longest have been promoted far beyond their abilities and expertise, so we need to move some people around and create training programs to make them good at their jobs. Then, we make over client service because firms usually aren't in the same business they started in. We also upgrade technology, take a hard look at which clients to keep and which strategic partners (accountants, technology providers, custodians or BDs, compliance firms, banks, etc.) will help the firm get to the next level. By taking these logical small steps to create an efficient business, we also help firm owners—and employees—accept the fact that we are building a "new" firm by doing things differently. With the firm and its people positioned to do things differently, significant growth becomes possible.
Cocoon your business. When a firm is positioned for growth, it's essential to let it grow organically; that is, like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. You have to protect what you have from outside influences: no business books, no practice management articles, no conferences, no outside ideas—simply your own innovation. All of that is important to what the business is now and where the owners want it to go.
Stop the clock. Once an owner-advisor has an efficiently running firm, invariably his or her inclination is to put the pedal to the metal and start growing as fast as possible. Ironically, at this stage, it's essential to slow down, to be the tortoise not the hare. This is the critical point in the development of a business. It's ready to grow, but in which direction? The answer will determine the future of the firm, but there's no hurry. On the contrary, you need to resist the urge to put pressure on yourself to make a decision and, instead, listen to the business—and your own heart—and let the answer come to you. Once a business is running efficiently, the direction to grow usually becomes obvious. If you take the time at this point to determine the right direction for your firm, it's going to grow a lot faster later on.
By taking each of these steps, owner-advisors create firms that are ready to grow and take advantage of the right direction—or opportunity—when it appears. In the above example, the addition of a new partner worked for two reasons. First, having seen the original shape of the firm, I knew that the owner's bad experience with a former partner was the result of a firm that wasn't ready for another partner: like many firms, it was structured around supporting one lead advisor and had no capacity for another one. What's more, it had a one-advisor mentality and adding another advisor was just throwing a monkey wrench into its workings.
After repositioning the firm for growth, it was ready to add another partner successfully. The key to that transition was that the owner-advisor was willing to let go of the way he was doing business and take new steps to build a different firm—a new firm. When an opportunity to grow presented itself, not only was his firm ready to take a new direction, he was mentally ready to set his experience aside and do something that he said he would never do again. It was an amazing leap of faith in his new firm, and a great example of what's possible when we let go of what we've done before and, like Bagger Vance said, forget the past to do what's needed now to get where we want to go.

Hells Angels lawsuit accuses Dillard's of trademark infringement
Hells Angels is suing 8732 Apparel and Dillard's Inc. in federal court, claiming trademark infringement of its famous skull-with-wings logo known as the Hells Angels Death Head.
Filed Oct. 27 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, the suit claims that the 8732 Apparel clothing line, Dillard's department stores and 20 unnamed individuals have designed, manufactured, distributed or sold hats, shirts and vests with a design that is "confusingly similar" to the Hells Angels symbols.
The plaintiff filing suit, Hells Angels Motorcycle Corp., is a "nonprofit mutual benefit corporation," according to the plaintiff's petition. It has consistently used a design mark consisting of the Hells Angels Death Head and the words "Hells Angels" in a distinctive arrangement known as the "HAMC" patch design, which is used to indicate active membership, the petition states.
According to the petition, Hell's Angels owns four U.S. trademark registrations for the symbols, two for the patch design and two for the death head, the petition states.
The defendants seek to exploit the "great commercial value" of the designs for their own gain, the suit states.
The acts of infringement have been committed with the intent to cause confusion, mistake or deception and are in violation of federal statutes.
The defendants' infringement of the HAMC marks was intentional, entitling the plaintiff to triple damages and attorney's fees, the petition states.
Hells Angels asks that the defendants be required to recall the infringing items and to give an account of the inventories to the plaintiff's counsel.
Defendants should also be required to deliver their entire inventories of the infringing items to a mutually selected third party for supervised destruction, the suit states.

Francesco Solimena
Italian, 1657–1747
The Agony in the Garden, c. 1725
Conté crayon on paper
24.3 x 17.6 cm Image: 20.7 x 16 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from The Winnipeg Foundation
As one of the leaders of the Neapolitan School in the early eighteenth century, Francesco Solimena was a highly influential painter whose work reflected both the exuberant Baroque style of his predecessor Luca Giordano, and the classical tendencies of the Roman artist Pietro de Cortona. Through the patronage of Charles III (1716–1788), the Bourbon ruler of Naples and later King of Spain, Solimena received many important commissions, including royal portraits. This preparatory sketch in Conté crayon shows the scene of Christ in the garden of Gethsemane before his Crucifixion. Through a series of vigorous lines and shading, Solimena attempts to convey the agonizing spiritual turmoil of Christ as he struggles to reconcile the conflict between the human side of his nature—fearful of his imminent suffering—and his divine nature, represented by the angel sent to strengthen him. Here Christ is presented with the sacrificial Eucharist cup and the burden of the cross borne upon the angel's shoulder.

It's another beautiful day!
2 things came out this week so far. One is a firm realization (as if I didn't know it before) that I am not a racer. I can't taper, put goals out, separate races in A and B and C categories, go "after them", and I have no idea how to enjoy it this way. I love ultrarunning for a completely different reasons. No, it's not that I don't want to run a certain time on a certain course, but I don't put anything aggressive in those pace charts, as we could clearly see last weekend, I talk, I look for views, I get lost, I take pictures - and I am fine. The absence of pressure ("do this one hard") works the opposite for me - I hate pressure. So no more "lets race" or "it's a goal run", or even taper. Just get out and run with your heart. I get that much richer experience for myself, and that's what I cherish. Also, a reason I like mountain courses, besides the fact that I don't have a single fast-twitch fiber in my legs (just in my fidgety brain) is that it's tough - and I love overcoming adversities. The worse it gets when I am out there, the better it is for me. Throw up, break a leg, have a diarrhea, get lost for 2 miles - overcome. That's what I call fun! When it's easy, what life is in it? Wonder how many folks think this way - somehow I believe quite a few.
Another thing that happened - I took one of my dreams on the list a step further. I finally checked out a local Massage Therapy school and applied! No more just talking and planning! It'd be part-time night classes while I still work, and this summer I'll have to study for Anatomy exam (they agreed to allow me to test out since I have a bunch of anatomy from Medical School). I already scolded 2 books while waiting for official text-books to arrive. Never thought studying could still be fun at my ripe age, and was scared to even begin - but it is! May be because I always loved anatomy:)
This weekend will be a double (or rather triple) long run: a 25 miler in the Gorge on Saturday, a Forest Park 50k on Sunday (just another training run with support, kind of what I pulled off last year, same combo) and Maple loop on Monday. Stephen is going with his friend to a "happy place" for Friday night-Saturday, so I can take my Gorge nice and slow. By the way, I haven't done a single hill repeat (in respect how I did those previous 3 years) and don't feel a tad guilty about it. I can't believe how much better I feel just doing runs by feel and smelling the flowers!
So here are the pictures from this morning's Gorge outing. It was misty and mystique. It was wonderful!
I don't know what tomorrow will bring - except old age and death - but I do know that I do have today, one absolutely glorious day that I will savor and make the most of as if it were my last one...because it may be! Gary Fenchuk

This is the kind of entry I love to read, Olga. Just love it. You had me giggling and laughing FOR you.
Sometimes it's really hard to step out of what you're used to, what's status quo, to really go for what you want. No wait, I think that's one of THE hardest parts of life. You're a brave woman, and I admire you for that!

It's so green and looks cold!!! You summed it up nicely about the mountains. It's tough but, yet, so gratifying to overcome the adversity. And, you're going after your dreams, too, which is awesome! I can't imagine having close access to trails like that because I would never want to go to work. :)

Bravo Olga! Congrats on the massage school. That's something I've thought of doing too. It will have to wait until the little ones are older though.
I like your take on running too. I put undue pressure on myself about running and I don't like it either. I'll take a page from your book and stop and remember to enjoy it.
Love the pictures! Everything is so beautiful and green! I skipped my run this morning here because of thick smoke from the first of our local "summer" fires. Scary, and yucky.

Oooh, Bob G, be careful what you wish for... I think Olga will make you earn your massage the hard way! LOL!
Olga, you have good wisdom. I "stop and smell the roses", but I find that I do is so fast that even that tends to be a bit of a competition.
When I get pissy, I have to remind myself... These are definitely the happiest days of my life. "is that not true? Remember it," I tell myself.
it's good to look for ways to improve ourselves and life, but looking for improvements can get us in the wrong frame of mind looking at negatives. There's a fine line between that and enjoying what good we already have.
Great photos. So green and humid.

A tough slog for Aaron's Law
It's going to be tough for "Aaron's Law" to become, well, a law.
There's been plenty of Washington soul-searching following the death of Aaron Swartz, the 26-year-old Internet entrepreneur who spent nearly two years battling potential imprisonment on computer fraud charges. But a congressional campaign to rewrite the law and spare others from a similar legal struggle isn't going to be an easy climb.
Story Continued Below
"To be successful, that effort will likely take substantial time and require sustained and intense support from all of you," Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), one of the principal backers, wrote in a post to users of Reddit, which Swartz co-founded. Lofgren said success would require "a push that will need to exceed" even what Internet activists did to halt the Stop Online Piracy Act.
Despite some recent momentum, there's not much clamor for change coming from the White House — and as expected, the Justice Department, which once tried to expand the penalties of the so-called Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, has been silent.
While there's a new reform push on Capitol Hill backed by a few powerful members, the key committees with jurisdiction have other plans in mind — and their agendas are packed with immigration reform and gun control. More than that, Congress actually has been fond of stronger punishments for some offenders.
It's not to say the principles known as Aaron's Law won't ever reach the president's desk in some form — just that all the Internet hype and rallying mark only the beginning of a new and lengthy political journey.
The campaign to update the 1986 statute, known by the acronym CFAA, follows Swartz's storied and emotional battle against DOJ. Swartz faced charges for allegedly stealing academic journal articles at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — a violation of federal law and punishable with steep fines and years in prison. Swartz committed suicide almost two years after federal prosecutors commenced their case.
In the weeks to follow, a collection of Internet luminaries and top lawmakers have faulted DOJ for proceeding too aggressively — and critics have turned their sights onto the statute itself, hoping to rewire the rules. The new draft bill would eliminate the avenues by which the feds could pursue those who violate terms of service agreements or change their computer's unique identifiers.
The neophyte campaign has been fueled by constant letters and tweets. And top lawmakers and industry supporters tried to maintain that momentum with a memorial service Monday night on Capitol Hill that doubled as a call for reform.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), one of its backers, received loud cheers for promising to "change this unjust law" in the memory of Swartz's "commitment" to a "more just world."
But the path forward is uncertain.
For all the talk about Swartz's legacy and the country's outmoded regulations, there's limited political bandwidth for a quick CFAA overhaul.
There are key lawmakers behind the new push — Wyden, Lofgren and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) — but many other influential Washington policymakers haven't made a peep.
That includes the White House and its DOJ, both of which did not comment to POLITICO this week on the proposal.
Previously, backers of Aaron's Law tried to compel the Obama administration to respond through its "We the People" online petition, but the White House hasn't yet offered its views through that forum.

Ask John
Red & Yellow cards, Romania's record, Test status and Tri-Nations tours to France
John Griffiths
August 1, 2011
England's Ben Clarke was the first player to be shown a yellow card in a Test against Scotland in 1995 © Getty Images
Welcome to the latest edition of Ask John where renowned rugby historian John Griffiths will answer any rugby-related query you have!
So, if there's something you've always wanted to know about the game we love but didn't know who to ask, or you think you can stump our expert - then get involved by sending us a question.
In this edition, John Griffiths looks at the history of red and yellow cards, the Romanian national side, Test status and Tri-Nations tours to France.
Can you please provide a bit of a history of the yellow card sin bin in rugby. As an example from the 1997 Tri-Nations match in Pretoria between South Africa and Australia (won 61-22 by South Africa) both Pieter du Randt and Joost van der Westhuizen were shown yellow-cards but did not go off for 10 minutes, yet when James Holbeck of Australia was shown a yellow card by Paddy O'Brien he was also "sent" to the sin bin for 10 minutes. What were the rules of "yellow-cards" and "sin bins" in this era and when did a 10 minute suspension first go hand-in-hand with a yellow card? When were yellow cards first used? Andrew de Klerk, South Africa
The first player to be shown a yellow card in a Test was England's Ben Clarke for stamping on his Bath club-mate Simon Geoghegan during the 1995 Ireland-England Five Nations match in Dublin. In those days yellow cards were no more than an official warning: the player was allowed to stay on the field.
Australia's James Holbeck was the first player to be sin-binned in a Test when he went off near the end of that 1997 Tri-Nations match against South Africa in Pretoria. At the time, however, yellow cards still signalled no more than a referee's warning, which is why Pieter du Randt and Joost van der Westhuizen stayed on the field.
For the 1997 Tri-Nations the organisers adopted the experimental sin-bin rule that had been in operation during the Super 12 tournament earlier that season. A player could be temporarily sent to the bin by the referee as part of a scale of sanctions that ranged from the yellow-card warning via the temporary expulsion to the full sending off.
Indeed, it was only when Holbeck returned to the field one minute from the end of that match that many present, unaware of the experiment, realised that he had not been permanently excluded.
The yellow-card has been used to signal ten minutes in the sin-bin since 2000.
Due to red\yellow cards, what is the fewest number of players a team has had on the pitch in a Test match? Huw Davies, Wales
There are several instances where a team has had two men sent off in a Test, and early in Martin Johnson's reign as coach England had four men yellow-carded and sent to the sin-bin against New Zealand (at Twickenham in November, 2008).
Lee Mears (22-32 mins), James Haskell (31-41 minutes), Toby Flood (42-52 mins) and Tom Rees (75 mins to the end) were yellow-carded so that England, who lost 32-6, effectively played for nearly forty minutes with 14 men.
The fewest number of players on the field at the end of a Test through indiscipline is 12. In the Pacific Nations Cup decider in July this year Japan beat Fiji 24-13 in Lautoka. The Islanders had two men red-carded and three yellow-carded.
Fiji's captain Dominiko Waqaniburotu received a first-half yellow card and before half-time Sisa Koyamaibole was ordered off for dangerous play. Seremaia Bai was yellow-carded after the re-start before centre Seru Rabeni was permanently dismissed for a high tackle. Before the end of the match replacement Waisea Luveniyali became the third Fijian to see yellow reducing the Fijians to 12 men until no-side.
I am a very keen rugby statistician and have noticed that Romania have been accorded nearly 8,000 total points. This seems impossible even calculating all their tries at five points. Could you please investigate? Ian Gray, Australia
The Romanian Rugby Federation was founded in 1914 and placed its first national side in the field in Paris in 1919 when they took part in a post-war festival involving Army sides from France and the United States. In 1924 the Romanians won the Bronze Medal at the Paris Olympics (finishing behind the USA and France).
Romania's purple patch came between 1957 and 1988. In Bucharest in May 1957 in front of 95,000 spectators - a world record rugby attendance up to that time - Romania led France 15-9 with only 15 minutes remaining. France managed to equalise and only a late 40-metre penalty goal drop-kicked by fullback Michel Vannier brought the French a narrow 18-15 victory.
L'Equipe, the French sporting newspaper, described Romanian rugby as "la sixième force" in its report of the 1957 game and during the 1960s, when the Oaks defeated France 11-5 (in 1960), 3-0 (in 1962) and 15-14 (in 1968) there were regular calls for the Romanians to be admitted to a Six Nations tournament. (The French were Five Nations champions in 1960 and 1962 and won the Grand Slam in 1968).
Romania were always tough opponents in Bucharest as Eddie Butler's Welsh team found in 1983. Romania sent the full Wales team packing 24-6 and showed the result was no flash in the pan when they triumphed 15-9 against Jonathan Davies' Welsh side in Cardiff five years later.
The Oaks regularly vied with France for the FIRA Championship titles in the 1970s and 1980s, rattling up some very big wins against the lesser continental rugby nations. They have qualified for all six Rugby World Cup tournaments to date and will be in the same pool as England, Scotland, Argentina and Georgia in New Zealand this year.
All told Romania have fielded their national side just over 400 times including more than 350 full internationals. They have amassed nearly 8,000 points in these international fixtures at an average of just over 22 points a match - hardly unreasonable when you consider that, like most nations, the majority of their international matches have been played since the 1970s in the four-point and five-point try era.
Romania's biggest Test win was 100-0 against Bulgaria in September 1976 and their biggest Test defeat was 134-0 against England at Twickenham in November 2001.
After Samoa's inaugural Test win over Australia, I have been looking at which Test teams have ever had wins over SA, NZ or Australia. Statsguru has been helpful but can you please confirm whether Test caps were awarded by either side in any of the following matches: Australia v NZ Maori (1922 - 1958); NZ v Rhodesia (1949); South Africa v NZ Cavaliers (1986). Paul Johns, New Zealand
There were 16 matches played between Australia and the Maori between 1922 and 1958. Rugby in Queensland ceased in the 1920s and only New South Wales played the game up to 1929. Even so, about 20 years ago the Australian Rugby Union accorded retrospective full Test status to the games played in the 1920s. The matches from 1931 to 1958 were always regarded as full Aussie Tests.
The summary of these games is as follows:
Australia v New Zealand Maori
The 1949 match between the New Zealanders and Rhodesia is not regarded as a Test match by the All Blacks, nor do the New Zealanders recognise the four matches played by the New Zealand Cavaliers against South Africa in 1986, although the Springboks do.
The summary of that series reads:
South Africa v New Zealand Cavaliers
The Southern Hemisphere sides famously used to undertake months long tours of the UK and France. The results against British/Irish clubs and provinces are fairly well documented. However, do you have their results against the French selections/clubs which they faced? Dan S, England
The details up to 1991 were given in previous columns in July. The results for the Tri-Nations on tours to France since then follow:
1992 Springboks L 17-24 v French Selection; W 29-22 v Aquitaine Selection; W 18- 15 v Mid-Pyrenees Selection; W 41-12 v Provence-Cote d'Azur Selection; W 20-15 v FRANCE; W 36-15 v Languedoc Selection; L 16-29 v FRANCE; L 13-18 v French Universities; L 20-25 v French Barbarians
1993 Wallabies W 30-15 v Aquitaine Selection; W 20-19 v South-West Selection; W 35-18 v Languedoc-Roussillon Selection; W 24-23 v South-East Selection; L 13-16 v FRANCE; L 15-21 v Provence-Littoral Selection; W 24-3 v FRANCE; W 43-26 v French Barbarians
1995 All Blacks W 34-19 v French Barbarians; W 30-9 v Languedoc-Roussillon Selection; W 47-20 v Cote Basque-Landes Selection; L 15-22 v FRANCE; W 55-17 v French Selection; W 37-12 v FRANCE
1996 Springboks L 22-30 v French Barbarians; W 36-20 v South-East Selection; W 22-12 v FRANCE; L 13-20 v French Universities; W 13-12 v FRANCE
1997 Springboks L 22-40 v French Barbarians; W 36-32 v FRANCE; L 7-21 v France A; W 52-10 v FRANCE
1998 Wallabies W 24-9 v France A; W 32-31 v FRANCE
Since 1999 the majority of matches played on tours made by the Tri-Nations to France have been full Tests.

Jersey Score: MLB Merchandise Sales Up, Led By Derek Jeter, New York Yankees
By Barry Janoff, Executive Editor
March 23, 2011: Derek Jeter, Joe Mauer and Roy Halladay are now considered the Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Kevin Garnett of Major League Baseball — at least as far as jersey sales are concerned.
Entering the 2011 season Jeter, Mauer and Halladay have the three most popular jerseys among all MLB players, according to figures released by baseball and the MLB Players Assn. Numbers are based on sales figures from 2010 provided by Majestic Athletic, Bangor, PA, which since 2005 has been the exclusive jersey provider of MLB.
Bryant, James and Garnett have the top three best selling NBA jerseys, according to the most recent sales figures released by the NBA.
Sale figures also showed that the New York Yankees sell the most licensed merchandise among MLB clubs, followed by the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Although specific figures were not released, MLB said sales of officially licensed MLB merchandise "reached an all-time high in 2010, with total licensing revenues up 6% over the previous year."
For Cliff Lee, who is now a member of the Philadelphia Phillies, the figure included sales of his Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers jerseys, both of whom he pitched for during the 2010 season.
Among the top 20 best-selling jerseys, four belonged players on the Yankees; three to the Phillies and Rangers; and the World Series champion San Francisco Giants, Red Sox and Minnesota Twins had two each.
Ironically, through the season of 2010, the Yankees, Red Sox and Giants did not display their players' names on their official home uniforms, and the Yankees were the only team not to have names on official road jerseys. Names are placed on replica jerseys offered for sale.
According to the Baseball Hall of Fame, in 1929 both the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians became the first teams to put numbers on the back of player jerseys.
According to Baseball Almanac, the Yankees' numbers were handed out based on the order in the lineup, which in 1929 was: Earle Combs No. 1, Mark Koenig No. 2, Babe Ruth No. 3, Lou Gehrig No. 4, Bob Meusel No. 5, Tony Lazzeri No. 6, Leo Durocher No. 7, Johnny Grabowski No. 8, Benny Bengough No. 9 and Bill Dickey No. 10.
Among uniform numbers 1-10, the Yankees have since retired: No. 1 (Billy Martin), No. 3 (Ruth), No. 4 (Gehrig), No. 5 (Joe DiMaggio), No. 7 (Mickey Mantle), No. 8 (Yogi Berra and Dickey), No. 9 (Roger Maris) and No. 10 (Phil Rizzuto). Jeter wears No. 2, which appears destined for retirement once he retires.
In 1960, the Chicago White Sox became the first team to put names on the jersey backs along with numbers.

Although he has starred in a glittering roll-call of operatic roles, Rolando Villazón has always felt inspired by a broader range of music. "I love musicals!" he declares. "When I was twelve I used to sing the soundtrack of Man of La Mancha. I was Don Quixote."
Villazón also adores zarzuela, that distinctively Spanish genre which mixes opera, popular song and dance, and so it's no great surprise to find that the ever-enthusiastic Mexican tenor should also be a fan of classic songs from the movies, of which he has made a personal selection for this new album.
It is a collection of memorable and evocative tunes, sung with passion and brio by Villazón. He has enlisted some expert musical assistance in his quest to capture the spirit of the movies on disc. Arrangers Nicholas Dodd and Steven Baker can reel off a list of credits in choral, orchestral and vocal recordings, and Dodd has regularly collaborated with David Arnold on his James Bond soundtracks. Grammy-winning producer Simon Franglen has experienced Hollywood at its most lavish, having worked on James Cameron's big-budget epics Avatar and Titanic, as well as on Baz Luhrmann's musical fantasy Moulin Rouge. In addition, he has collaborated with some of the music industry's all-time best-selling divas, namely Whitney Houston, Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand.
It was of course Streisand who made the world sing along to the soundtrack from Yentl, in which she starred in 1983 and from whose soundtrack Villazón has picked "A Piece of Sky". Like many listeners, he was captivated by the song's spirit of wonder and its aspirational mood, which he movingly evokes here. Streisand was also one of the singers who popularized "The Summer Knows", taken from Michel Legrand's soundtrack to the 1971 coming-of-age drama Summer of '42. In fact the song became such a popular favourite that it was recorded by a host of legendary performers, not least Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra and Andy Williams, so Villazón had to make sure he was tuned to perfection the day he recorded that one.
Another song from Legrand's pen is "The Windmills of Your Mind", which he wrote for the soundtrack of Norman Jewison's sexy 1968 heist yarn, The Thomas Crown Affair, where Steve McQueen was memorably paired with Faye Dunaway. It was originally sung by Noel Harrison, the son of celebrated English actor Rex Harrison, and his version not only went to number eight on the UK charts, but won an Academy Award for "Best Original Song". For the 1999 remake of the film, with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo, Sting cut a new version of "The Windmills of Your Mind", and the song has also been covered by a diverse collection of artists including Dusty Springfield, Alison Moyet, Petula Clark and actor Edward Woodward.
Umbrella-twirling comic Charlie Chaplin wasn't primarily regarded as a composer, but in fact he wrote the music for most of his films, including "Smile", which features as an instrumental in the 1936 classic Modern Times. John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added lyrics in 1954, creating a song that has become a much-recorded standard, now given a distinctively fresh reading by Villazón. As Rolando is doubtless aware, Nat King Cole originally took "Smile" into the charts in 1954, and his daughter Natalie recorded it in the 1990s. Petula Clark also recorded it in 1954, then again in 1968, by when she had become a friend of Chaplin's. A later devotee of the song was Michael Jackson, and though his 1995 recording was never given a full-scale release, "Smile" was sung by his brother Jermaine at Michael's memorial service in 2009.
Villazón returned to the heyday of old Hollywood to find another Oscar winner, "When You Wish Upon a Star" from Walt Disney's beloved animated feature Pinocchio, dating back to 1940. In the film it was sung by Jiminy Cricket (or at least by singer Cliff Edwards, who voiced the cartoon character), and the performance was persuasive enough for the American Film Institute to rank it number 7 in the "100 Greatest Songs in Film History".
Another song made famous by an animated character is "Rainbow Connection", sung by Kermit the (banjo-playing) Frog in The Muppet Movie. It's a simple, childlike tune which lends itself remarkably well to Villazón's unpretentious and emotive approach. Then he gets a chance to explore his Latin roots with a new treatment of Jorge Drexler's Oscar-winning song "Al otro lado del río" (The Other Side of the River), plucked from Gustavo Santaolalla's BAFTA-winning soundtrack to The Motorcycle Diaries.
In "Dear Father", originally recorded by Neil Diamond for the soundtrack of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Villazón plays the heartstring-tugging balladeer. It's a role he obviously relishes, since he also follows in the footsteps of super-crooner Perry Como with his take on "Travelling Down a Lonely Road", Nino Rota's love theme from Fellini's La Strada.
The eclectic Rolando broadens his musical palette yet further by tapping into a Gallic vein. He daringly takes a shot at "Non, je ne regrette rien", the trademark song of Edith Piaf. It has popped up in many movies over the decades, and reached a new generation of listeners when it featured in the haunting Piaf biopic, La Vie en rose, in 2007 and on the soundtrack of Christopher Nolan's Inception in 2010.
Also from French roots is the gorgeous "Autumn Leaves", which began life as "Les Feuilles mortes" with lyrics by French poet Jacques Prévert, music by Joseph Kosma, and sung by Yves Montand in the 1946 movie Les Portes de la nuit (Gates of the Night). In 1947, the great Johnny Mercer added English lyrics, and the song became a standard in both languages. Roger Williams's 1955 version became the only piano instrumental ever to reach the top of the US pop singles chart, and the version by Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis is particularly treasured by jazz fans.
On the other hand, Charles Aznavour first launched "She" into the world in English, though he subsequently cut versions in several languages. Elvis Costello remade the song for the Richard Curtis film Notting Hill, and now Villazón has boldly put his personal stamp on it.
It's all part of the Villazón mission to reach out, explore and push new boundaries. "Life is a journey, and you should live it to the maximum with all your heart!" he declares.

Cyber criminals target mobile users, social media
Australia's top cyber cops are warning that social networking sites such as Facebook are increasingly being targeted by cyber criminals as a way to steal internet users' money.
The growing commercialisation of social media through links to online trading such ''buy, swap and sell'' sites means cyber crooks now have a strong motivation to hack people's account details, police say.
In an interview with Fairfax Media, the Australian Federal Police's manager of cyber crime operations, Commander Glen McEwen and Melbourne team leader Federal Agent Scott Mellis outlined a range of new threats facing web users.
These included vicious ''form-grabbing malware'' that can steal large amounts of personal data, as well as complacency about the security of mobile devices, which most people do not protect with anti-virus software, even while using their phones to do banking.
One particular emerging threat was the growing link between social networking and online trading known as ''buy, swap and sell sites'', Mr Mellis said.
''You sign onto those sites with your Facebook account and, as a result of that, you start using those platforms for trade,'' he said. ''There's going to be money involved and hackers will be interested in getting inside those.''
This includes malware attacks that steal payment details through social networks or tricks users into handing over those details, he said.
''I had a friend the other day wanting to use a local 'buy, swap and sell' network and they needed a Facebook account to actually get onto it, so that's an example of how this sort of trade is coming into the social networking space.
''My team has seen this as something that's rising out of the surface at the moment. I do see it as a trend.''
Previously there had been little incentive for anyone to hack into social networking sites, other than to get the personal information of another user.
Another threat Mr Mellis said is ''definitely a trend'' is mobile device malware. While most people today carry smartphones, few people thought about anti-virus protection for those devices in the same way they protect their computers.
''They don't think of [smartphones] as computers so therefore they don't put an anti-virus on them. They can be compromised as easily as your computer can be compromised. And people do their banking on these now.
''Why would you do your banking on a phone but not use an anti-virus?''
Mr Mellis said people should explore the options for securing their phones.
''I'm not in the business of scaring people but it's a good idea to see how you can defend your data because you're accessing very, very sensitive information on your phone.
''Criminals exploit the path of least resistance, which makes mobile platforms a target.''
Commander McEwen said most cybercrime was preventable, though it ''could take a whole generation for people to become technically savvy enough and aware to implement such safety measures''.
People need to think of cybercrime in the same way crime is thought of in the real world, he said. A ''distributed denial of service'' attack – crashing a major system – was akin to a major arson attack, while theft of bank details was a robbery.
''It's a challenge for law enforcement to demystify what the cyber world is about. It's all the commission of crime,'' he said.
Security tips
* Maintain current anti-virus software that is obtained from a reputable source and is regularly updated.
* Make sure your operating system is updated to ensure any security vulnerabilities are mitigated.
* Use strong passwords to protect personal information.
* Passwords should also be kept secret and changed regularly.
* Limit the amount of personal information placed on the internet.
* Do not provide financial or other personal information to people you do not know and trust.
* Never click on links contained within spam or unexpected emails.
Anyone who believes they are a victim of a scam should report it to SCAMwatch on 1300 795 995 or go to scamwatch.gov.au.

With this device, you can take advantage of the lowest-cost alarm communications (including two-way voice) and remote services solution, all of which amounts to faster installation time and smaller monthly operating costs.
Garage Door Control
The garage door can be a vulnerable point of entry, often targeted by intruders who wish to enter without detection. The LYNX Touch 7000 provides garage door notifications and control, allowing you to view and monitor your garage door status at all times. With Honeywell Total Connect™ Remote Services, you can even control your garage door remotely, and with compatible Z-Wave integration, you can control openings and closures via your own set scenes, rules, and schedules.
Z-Wave® Automation Capabilities
The LYNX Touch 7000 may be one of your best defenses against burglars, but that's not its only benefit. This intuitive system features a Z-Wave connectivity module, capable of integrating effortlessly with all of your Z-Wave compatible devices. Control your lights, thermostats, alarms, locks, water valves, and so much more, all from one central system. And if you use Honeywell Total Connect Remote Services, you can even control all of these mechanisms from the comfort of your smartphone, tablet, or PC.
Surveillance Expansion
If you're looking to incorporate surveillance video as part of your home security system, the LYNX Touch 7000 supports up to 4 cameras for on-premises video viewing. This feature works with all compatible Honeywell Total Connect Video products (iPCAM-PT, iPCAM-WO, iPCAM-WI2/B, ACU), and your cameras can be accessed from your mobile device (Honeywell Total Connect required) or from your LYNX touchscreen.
Tornado Alerts
Burglary prevention is a key element of home security, but it's not the only element. Sometimes the greatest threats to your security can come from nature itself, and that's why the LYNX Touch 7000 is designed to provide tornado alerts for U.S. and Canadian residents (requires Honeywell Total Connect with Information Services Package). If you live in an area plagued by the threat of tornados, this simple but powerful feature can provide an invaluable early warning system for your family.
With the Honeywell Total Connect Information Services Package, you can also benefit from traffic updates, news, and weather. Your home security system becomes your personal assistant, providing you with the up-to-the-minute information that you need to plan your day, even as you protect the people you love, and automate the world around you.
Portable Convenience
The LYNX Touch 7000 utilizes the full breadth of wireless security capabilities. You can control the system from your Android or iOS mobile device, and you can use handheld key fobs to instantly arm and disarm your system. You can even program dedicated key fobs for up to 24 wireless systems, so you can quite literally place your home security in the palm of your hand.
Additional Features
Select up to 10 different chimes to distinguish between different zones, program up to 48 user codes for easy access, and view up to 256 events in your event log. The versatility of the LYNX Touch 7000 is almost unmatched, and the capabilities are simply unparalleled for a system of this size. Additional features include automatic stay arming, three separate panic functions, RF jam protection, a Quick Exit feature, and Night Stay and Silent Exit modes. There is even a sophisticated Exit Error feature, which distinguishes between an actual alarm and an exit alarm caused by leaving a door open after the exit delay expires.
