Now what.
Over the course of the off-season, we have the following items planned:
*The Designated Hater series - telling you why you should hate the other 14 American League teams.
*Defensive Replacement Dante Aligheri: The Exact Moment in the last two seasons that the Astros traversed Dante's levels of hell.
*Coverage of the Winter Meetings, held in The Constable's backyard, in which we will attempt to have a beer with Jeff Luhnow, Mike Fast, and Kevin Goldstein.
*More long-reads (feel free to submit requests).
*A breakdown and report card for every Astro.
*Spotlight on the PreStros.
*Arizona Fall League
*Adding a writer or two.
*More randomness.
Seriously, Astros County is better than ever, and with Trostel, Cockroach, Deputy Phelps, and others, we're looking forward to the emotional recovery of 2012. Thank you for your support.

Boy did I pick a tough time to start writing about this franchise.
That said, it's a good feeling to have completed my first full season here after starting out in August of last season. Though work got in the way of my daily reports a couple months ago, being a part of Astros County has been awesome so far.
There is a lot to get excited and write about now. The farm system has improved an unfathomable amount in a very short time. Despite back to back record setting losing seasons the organization as a whole has regained much of the industry respect lost since 2005.
Moving to the AL is a slap in the face but you true Astros fans aren't curled up in the corner, barking and growling at the wind like some mentally challenged dog. It's time for Astros fans to bow up, tell MLB that they hit like a girl, and show them what we're made of.
This is an exciting time to be an Astros fan. That may sound funny, after the past two seasons, but the winds of change are blowing through. And it smells like funnel cake.

I think JD Martinez might need more of a long-read than a breakdown/report card. In 2011 he crushed everything he saw, including MLB hitting. 100 PA's into 2012 he was crushing everything he saw to the tune of .284/.414/.444. Then it stopped. Something went way wrong and I'm not sure if anyone, including JD himself, knows what happened.

Yeah, I tried not to be insulted that the team went 8-49 right about the time that I started writing regular recaps... that was more fun than I ever want to have again.
But seriously, the future is looking bright in Houston, dumb DH rule or not. Looking forward to great things for the Astros in the future, and for our humble little corner of the Internet.

Yeah, I won't act like it wasn't a tough year to love the Astros, but, really, I am so stoked about the future. Screw the AL, but at least we can feel good about our chances for sustained success with the (seemingly) good moves this new FO has made on the baseball side of operations.
Astros County is a daily visit for me during the season, and I'll probably keep stopping by almost as often in the off-season. Thanks for the work y'all do!

I'd like to see someone do a little in depth write up on the similarities between Michael Bourns first season with the Astros and Jordan Schafers first season with the Astros. Bourn was almost surely the superior defender, but were they really far apart offensively? Could we see a similar rise in Jordans production like we saw with Mike?
- October 5, 2012 at 3:46 AM
I'd be real surprised is Schafer is even on the roster next year.

Howdy. Just came across this blog & very excited to bookmark & visit often. As a life-long Astros fan I am excited to get in on the discussions with some true fans. :)

A fluid is a substance that deforms continuously when subjected to a tangential or shear stress, however small the shear stress may be. Such a continuous deformation under the stress constitutes a flow. Fluid mechanics is therefore the study of mechanics of such matter. As such, it pertains mostly to the study of liquids and gases, however the general theories may be applied to the study of amorphous solids, colloidal suspensions and gelatinous materials.
Fluid mechanics is a subdivision of continuum mechanics. Consequentially, fluids are considered continuous media for analysis, and their discrete nature is of no consequence for most applications. This assumption is valid mostly on length scales much larger than intramolecular distances. The departure from continuum is characterised by a dimensionless parameter, the Knudsen Number, defined by , where L is a characteristic length scale of the flow. The continuum hypothesis holds good if Kn < 0.01. However, recent applications in nanotechnology and biotechnology are demonstrating that the governing equations are still relevant on smaller scales, specifically when they are modified to include the effects of electrostatic, magnetic, colloidal and surface-tension driven forces.
Some fluid mechanics problems can be solved by applying conservation laws (mass, momentum, energy) of mechanics to a finite control volume. However, in general, it is necessary to apply those laws to an infinitesimal control volume, then use the resulting differential equations. Additionally, boundary values, initial conditions and thermodynamic state equations are generally necessary to obtain numeric or analytic solutions.

My grandmother was a talented baker. Making treats for everybody, especially for Christmas, Easter and weddings, was her vocation. She made this bread for both Christmas and Easter. She was Polish, so this recipe sort of is too, although I've never found anything quite like it in a book or through any online search.
A sandwich made with this bread, thick slices of holiday ham and nothing else is one of things I most look forward to eating. Of course, my grandmother didn't really follow a recipe when she made it. Starting with the version lovingly documented by my aunt, I've made the bread successfully in past years. Still, it was finicky stuff and the stress of worrying whether it would turn out made the cooking process overwhelming.
This year, I decided to get rid of the guess work and develop a precise version of the recipe that anybody could follow. Yes, you need some tools and lots of time, but it works! It also tastes just like my grandmother's. The closest thing I can compare it to is babka, but I believe this uses more eggs, and we would never fill it with chocolate. The filling is amazing by the way, but I love the bread plain as well, without the jelly roll-like swirl. As I mentioned, the sweet bread paired with salty smoked ham is out of this world, but I also like it lightly toasted with salted butter for breakfast.
I don't think I've ever made a blog post with so many step-by-step photos, but in this case, I think they are useful. The recipe itself is also long and very precise, but once you do it, it's not a big deal. Enjoy!
First some essentials: An instant-read thermometer (with my green scale in the background); active dry yeast packets and candied cherries.
Activated yeast should look this foamy; checking the water temp helps.
After adding 7 cups of flour. Dough will still be sticky and won't pull away from sides of the bowl.
Transfer the dough to a well-oiled mixing bowl.
After rising for 3 hours in a dry, chilly kitchen.
The filled dough just before rolling it up.
And we're done!
Polish Holiday Sweet Bread
Inserting an instant-read thermometer into the center of the loaves is essential to avoid over or under baking the bread. A kitchen scale lets you quickly and accurately measure the flour, so I highly, highly recommend it. If a scale is unavailable, measure the flour as follows: Fluff up the flour in its container, then lightly spoon into a 1-cup measuring cup, taking care not to shake the cup; level with a knife; repeat, fluffing the flour every time. This method will get you as close as possible to the correct weight of flour. Either way, measure all of the flour into a bowl before you start adding it to the dough.
This bread tends to stick to the pans (sugar will do that) no matter what, so here's the ultimate fix: Buy some nonstick foil (Reynolds--it's right by the regular foil; you will love this stuff!) and line the pans with it. Coat with cooking spray (or oil) for extra insurance.
My grandmother used melted Crisco for the filling, however, I can't see any advantage to doing so. As a compromise, I use half Crisco and half butter. If you don't have shortening in your pantry, feel free to use all butter. The candied cherries are the kind used in fruitcake and are easy to find around the holidays, or online; do not substitute maraschino or dried. For the very detailed bakers, the flour I prefer for this particular recipe is either Pillsbury or Gold Medal, both unbleached, all-purpose.
Update: I read a trick in this Cookie Madness post about how to prevent fillings from separating from the bread. I will try it by replacing the melted butter/Crisco with 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water.

Yield: 2 (9" x 5") loaves
Total time: All day, or around 8 hours, mostly hands-off
Nonstick foil
Pastry brush
Instant read thermometer
For dough:
3/4 cup milk (2% or whole)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 3 chunks
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 packets (4 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
5 large eggs, at room temperature
7 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (910 grams)
For filling:
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons Crisco
1 cup (loosely packed, approx.) dark brown sugar
3/4 cup (approx.) candied/glazed cherries, quartered or chopped
3/4 cup (approx.) toasted, chopped pecans
For egg wash:
1 large egg
Pinch of salt
1. Heat the milk and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir frequently (do not boil; adjust heat if necessary) until butter is melted. Add 1 1/2 cups sugar and salt and stir frequently until dissolved. Cool slightly.
2. Fill a glass measuring cup or small bowl with 1/2 cup of hot, but not steaming, water. Use instant-read thermometer to make sure water temperature is 110F to 115F. Add yeast and 1 tsp sugar and stir gently. Set aside until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, thoroughly whisk the eggs. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup of the cooled milk mixture. Add another 1/2 cup in the same manner, then slowly whisk in the remainder of the milk mixture. Fit the dough hook onto the mixer. With the mixer off, add 2 cups of the flour and the yeast mixture. Mix on low to medium-low speed until just combined, scraping down the bowl as needed. Do this two more times, until you have added 6 cups of the flour. Add 1/2 cup of the remaining flour and mix. Dough should have an elastic, slightly glossy appearance; it should feel moist and sticky to handle, but not wet; it will not pull away completely from the sides of the bowl or form a ball. Add remaining 1/2 cup flour if necessary to achieve this texture.
4. Coat a large mixing bowl with canola cooking spray or brush with a light coat of canola oil. With floured hands, transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and shape into a ball. Place dough in bowl, then flip the dough over so that both sides are coated with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and drape a kitchen towel over it. Let the dough rise at room temperature until doubled in bulk, 2 to 3 hours.
5. Line two 9" x 5" baking pans with NONSTICK foil, dull side up, and mist with cooking spray; set aside. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1 minute. Divide into 2 pieces. Return one piece to the bowl and cover with the towel while you work with the other piece. On a floured surface, roll dough into an approximately 9" x 16" rectangle, with the shorter sides parallel to your body. Use a rolling pin as well as your hands and knuckles, picking up the dough and stretching it gently as needed. It is difficult to roll this dough evenly, and there is plenty of excess, so trim a chunk off of each short end and trim any thick edges and corners to form your rectangle. Ideally, each loaf should weigh about 1 1/2 pounds (24 ounces), so you can easily trim about 6 ounces of dough off of each loaf.
6. Microwave the butter and Crisco together in a small bowl until melted. With a pastry brush, lightly coat the dough with about 1/2 the butter/Crisco, leaving a 1" border on the short side closest to your body. Sprinkle with 1/2 the sugar and rub over the dough to coat evenly. Sprinkle with half the cherries and half the pecans (use more or less filling, depending on how sweet and chunky you want it to be).
7. Have a small bowl of water at hand. Beginning with the short end of the dough furthest away from your body, roll it up like a jelly roll. When you get to the end, dip your fingers in the water and lightly coat the edge of the dough to seal the roll. Transfer to one of the baking pans, seam side down. Repeat with the other piece of dough. Cover both pans with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise until noticeably bulkier and filling out the pans, 2 to 3 hours.
8. Preheat oven to 350F. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and salt. Lightly brush egg wash over the dough with a pastry brush. Bake loaves side by side in the center of the oven for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325F and continue baking until loaves are deep golden brown and internal temperature reaches 180F to 185F on an instant-read thermometer, 20 to 35 minutes more. If you are using nonstick or dark-colored baking pans, place the pans on a large rimmed baking sheet after the first 30 minutes to avoid over browning the bottoms. Cool on a wire rack for about 20 minutes. Use the foil to lift the bread out of the pans and cool completely. Peel off foil when cool enough to handle. Slice when completely cool, at least 2 hours.

When your team plays a series of games against familiar opponents, the sensible old adage says you should make sure to beat the teams you're supposed to beat, and see if you can add an upset win along the way.
For the most part, Springside Chestnut Hill Academy took that approach during the first round of play in Girls Inter-Ac basketball, finishing the set of six league games with a record of 4-2 despite a loss at Episcopal Academy last Tuesday.
The upset victory for SCH (9-9 overall) came against Germantown Academy, a team they'd never beaten before, and the Lions tabbed other Inter-Ac wins over Agnes Irwin, Baldwin, and Penn Charter. SCH didn't take any of the last three lightly, but the Lions felt if they played well they'd have a good shot at success against those foes.
Episcopal came out smoking last week to dispatch SCH 60-37, and the other first-round loss for the locals came a week earlier against first-place Academy of Notre Dame. The Irish, still unbeaten in the Inter-Ac, actually trailed Springside Chestnut Hill by three points at halftime, but roared back to win, 52-24.
That loss occurred on Tuesday, January 8, but the Lions were able to regroup for back-to-back wins that Friday and Saturday, downing first Penn Charter (51-38), and then Agnes Irwin (48-38).
Everyone around the Inter-Ac took notice when SCH defeated GA, and last Tuesday at Episcopal the Churchwomen were not caught napping. EA junior Sarah Abbonizio (cousin of Notre Dame senior starter Ali Abbonizio) broke the ice with the first of the four three-pointers she would score during the opening quarter. SCH junior guard Julia Schumacher quickly got the visitors on the board with a lay-up, but Episcopal pulled away smartly after that and would lead the entire afternoon.
After Abbonizio guided the Churchwomen out to an 18-7 lead by the end of the first period, another EA guard, sophomore Leah Becker, banged in three three-point field goals of her own in the second round. All this was happening while the Lions also had to worry about Episcopal center Megan Quinn, a 6'2" senior who is going on to play at Villanova University.
"We don't have anyone to stop Quinn one-on-one," commented SCH coach Steve Purcell, "then when we help out on her, their guards are hitting three's all over the place. Give them credit, they got the ball to their shooters and they were drilling their shots."
SCH senior Gianna Pownall hit two lay-ups and stuck a three-pointer in the second quarter, but Episcopal still led 37-16 at halftime. Abbonizio already had 14 points in the book, followed by Becker with nine and Quinn with eight.
The Villanova signee added eight more points in a 21-10 third quarter, then the Lions picked up a little ground in the final period as both teams gave their reserves some exercise.
Quinn (15 rebounds) and Abbonizio shared game-high scoring honors with 16 points apiece, while Becker ended up with 11 and senior guard Kristen Hinckley (who has committed to Dartmouth for lacrosse) scored four points and led the winners in assists, with seven.
Pownall paced the visitors with 14 points and Schumacher scored 10, with freshman Lindsay Hiner leading the Lions in rebounds (nine) and contributing three points.

Wee Restaurant, Edinburgh
Wee moves across Forth and continues to serve innovative food
The Wee Restaurant, 61 Frederick Street, Edinburgh EH2 1LH t: 0131 225 7983
RATING: Food 4.5; Atmosphere 3.5; Service 4.5; Drinks 4.5; Toilets 4; Website (theweerestaurant.co.uk) 4
The ethos behind the Wee Restaurant is to serve simple food and wine in a relaxed atmosphere (I would have preferred had the lighting be dimmed) and that has worked wonderfully well in picture-postcard North Queensferry, in the shadow of the magnificent Forth Rail Bridge, for ten years
Now Vikki Wood and her husband Craig have opened a branch in the big city across the Forth and it has been open for eight months in Frederick Street, in the heart of the Capitals's business community.
The food quality remains. Pam picked chicken liver and brandy parfait with apple walnut and celeriac salad. My starter was Queenie scallops with lemon, garlic and parsley breadcrumbs.
The rich, creamy chicken liver worked perfectly with the salad and the breadcrumbs provided a pleasing mix of flavours which blended well with the scallops served in eye-catching shells.
Pam decided on traditional for her main with turkey and chestnut stuffing on a bed of savoy cabbage with and chipolata sausage and potatoes with a rich cranberry sauce.
I could not resist wood pigeon cassoulet with puy lentils, onion confit, sausage and herb gnocchi. The only disappointment was the gnocchi which lacked flavour.
The sweets looked irresistible and Pam's Christmas pudding was light and spicy. I'm lactose intolerant. Mango and coconut moose was suggested and the creamy mousse (interestingly served in a kilner jar), was topped by crunchy, green pistachio nuts. Digging down, I found rich honey and raspberry flavours. Take a bow Matthew Innes, the chef on duty.

Innovation Incubator
Innovation Incubator is a start-up company which will help other organizations to;
• gain maximum value from their early stage ideas and innovations
• develop or turn around existing ventures that haven't achieved their revenue or profit targets
Our target audience comprises managers and directors that either have;
• Ideas and innovations that work well in their own organizations, and they want to find out if they have potential for commercial development and marketing to other organizations, or;
• Alternatively they have non-mainstream ventures which may be making losses or haven't grown as planned, which they want to develop or turn around.
A typical customer organization will be small/medium-sized (turnover $400,000 to $50 million). So far we have been involved in a start-up software venture and the development/growth of a consultancy business
The logo must help to establish a sense of care and support for our customers' projects, ideally also bringing in a sense of the benefits, in terms of growth, that the Innovation Incubator approach can help them achieve.
As a start-up company, we do not have an existing logo or web-site
Things to note:
1) Innovation Incubator is two words, it should NOT be displayed as InnovationIncubator.
2) We are looking for a clean and modern (web 2.0) style logo.
3) It must portray us a professional, innovative and supportive business.
5) Although we are looking for a clean modern design, we are looking for a design that really stands out and is memorable.
6) You may want to include a visual icon related to growth/incubation - one option would be to include an icon showing tree growth/fruitfulness, which could link to a theme of innovation - growth - maturity - fruitfulness. Note that we do not have a huge budget for stock images.

On May 7, l945, World War II (WWII) came to an end when Germany surrendered, and May 8 was declared V-E Day (Victory in Europe). Frank Dahowski of Montague, Massachusetts, returned home after the war on the ship SS George Washington, in October of 1945. Due to his life-threatening war injury, he was discharged from the service as a disabled veteran, unable to work when he returned home. Frank and his wife Olga moved to Deerfield after the war, where they built a house on a lot on the Dahowski farm. They were members and supporters of the Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Church in South Deerfield. Frank was a volunteer fireman in Old Deerfield and enjoyed his hobby of restoring and selling antique cars. Olga (Ollie to her friends) worked at Greenfield Tap and Die during the war and afterwards, at LaPierre's Electrical Store in Greenfield. They are buried in the St. Stanislaus Cemetery in South Deerfield.

In a small dry skillet over medium heat toast the coriander, mustard seeds, juniper berries, and peppercorns until fragrant, about 1 minute. Put them on a plate to cool. In a bowl mix the sugar and salt with 2 cups of water until dissolved. Put the pork roast into a deep bowl or a large plastic bag. Pour in the sugar and salt water. Add the toasted spices, thyme, and bay leaves. Add more water until the meat is covered. Let it sit in the brine in the refrigerator for 2 to 6 hours.
Remove the pork roast from the brine about 1/2 hour before you will be ready to cook it to allow it to come up to room temperature. When ready to cook, heat a grill to high heat. Dry the pork, rub it with olive oil, and season it with pepper. Sear the pork on all sides to get grill marks. Move the roast to an upper rack (or over indirect heat) and put a drip pan underneath it. Cook the pork until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, about 30 to 45 minutes. Remove to a platter, cover loosely with foil, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
Before carving, add any accumulated juices to the drippings in the pan. Spoon these over the sliced pork.

35395, Children's Songbook, The Savior, Easter Hosanna, 68-69
1. The prophecies of long ago were now at last fulfilled,
When Jesus, risen from the dead, to man Himself revealed.
As he came down from heav'n above, white-robed and glorified,
The people of the promised land received their Lord and cried:
"Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God!
Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God!"
2. When Jesus Christ appeared to Nephites in the promised land,
The righteous people saw his wounds and came to understand
That he, once dead, was risen up as Savior, Lord, and King.
As they rejoiced, now we rejoice, and joyfully we sing:
Words and music: Vanja Y. Watkins, b. 1938. © 1982 IRI

Le Village
- Expired
- East Village
- French
This cozy East Village bistro is the site of a rare truce: a place where vegetarians, vegans and meat-lovers coexist atop rich plates of seasonal French cooking.This cozy East Village bistro is the site of a rare truce: a place where vegetarians, vegans and meat-lovers coexist atop rich plates of seasonal French cooking. Chef Didier Pawlicki has dubbed Le Village his "city within the city" and we can see why. His well-curated collection of dishes is geared to please any appetite. Transformed from his old Table Verte space, Le Village has kept the tabletops green, while adding new options for the carnivores out there. Meanwhile, if the words "vegetarian food" prompt visions of bland, cardboard-like veggie burgers floating through our heads, Chef Didier is working to banish those notions for good.
Omnivore favorites from sister restaurant La Sirène in Soho now make an appearance on the menu, lending Le Village the nickname "Petite Sirène." Pâté lovers will find peace over dual orders of the Pâté de Campagne and the Duxelles. The latter is a vegan truffled mushroom pâté that functions as a heavenly topping for the pâte sablée biscuits, which are served with juicy cornichons and dijon mustard. Or for the meat-eaters out there, the Pâté de Campagne is a rustic homemade rendition of the popular terrine. The Goat Cheese Tart and the Sautéed Bruxelles Sprouts each make for a second course that's both savory and delicately sweet. Or for the main events, eaters of each persuasion will enjoy either the slow-cooked vegetarian Cassoulet or the juicy Coq au Vin. We'd recommend filling any room left to spare with a sweet helping of the vegan apple tart. The apples are poached in aloe and saffron for a decadent end to any dinner — meat or none. We'd say even a strict carnivore could find a happy place on this plate.
Menu Highlights:
Sautéed Bruxelles Sprouts, $9.75
Duxelles (Mushroom Pate), $9.50
Pate de Campagne, $9.75
Goat Cheese Tart, $17.50
Cassoulet, $18.50
Coq au Vin, $23.75

In an effort to comply more fully with international standards against financial criminal activity, the Vatican has hired an outside expert. René Brülhart, a 40-year-old Swiss international lawyer, started working as a consultant to the Vatican in September on "all matters related to anti-money laundering and financing of terrorism." Brülhart's role is to assist the Holy See in strengthening its framework to fight financial crimes. A report by European finance experts released in July said the Vatican had passed its first major test toward becoming more financially transparent and compliant with international norms. But the report by Moneyval, the Council of Europe's Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism, said there were still critical loopholes that needed tightening and other "important issues" to be addressed.

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: Orange, Massachusetts, is located on the Millers River. The river's fast-flowing and steady water power led the village to become a thriving industrial town. This street scene gives us a fascinating glimpse of a summer's day sometime between 1890 and 1900, when this photograph was taken. Leaning up against a building to the right is a "safety bicycle," so called because it was not the high-wheeled style of earlier years. Above it run electric, phone, and probably telegraph wires: Orange was a progressive town, well equipped for the coming 20th century. The cobbled sidewalks are also evidence of civic improvement, although the streets remained dirt. By 1900, more than 6,500 people lived in Orange, making it one of the largest communities in Franklin County.

I have a few more places and pictures to show you before I'm done with the beautiful South Coast of NSW!
On our Jervis Bay day we visited the Coolangatta Estate which is the site of the first European settlement in this region. After some wine and cheese tasting you can take a self-guided tour around the convict-built village and inhale the beauty and the calmness of the place (something that was perhaps lacking in the crowded Nan Tien Temple!) Accommodation is also available if you wish to stay longer.
Wine tasting on offer
Leaving the coast we headed inland towards Kangaroo Valley.
Hampden Bridge is Australia's oldest suspension bridge
Fudge House and Ice Creamery in Kangaroo Valley town has free fudge tasting :-)
Kangaroo Valley still had breath taking views despite the cloud
It was a rainy (and misty) day at Fitzroy Falls...
The award winning Gumnut Patisserie in Bowral sure was a popular spot!
Lamb and rosemary pie from the Gumnut Patisserie... mmm
South Coast definitely has some great scenery and food to offer! Berry was my favourite :-) Can you tell?

Mobility Flattens Barriers for the Hearing Impaired
Recently I have been following the news about Gallaudet University as it chooses a new President and it reminded me of our deployment there. Gallaudet is also one of the first large deployments of the centralized WLAN architecture, starting in the June/July 2003 timeframe. We are deployed in all 32 buildings, including the President's home and the recent press reminded me of this customer who I stay in touch with on a regular basis.For those who don't know about this university, it is the National College of Deaf Studies, funded by the U.S. Congress. It was the first college of its kind and was chartered by Abraham Lincoln in 1864; to date, it remains the premier institution of its kind in the world, home to college students from all 50 U.S. States and over 60 countries. It is the Oxbridge of hearing-impaired world. The campus is serene, beautiful — much of it a vintage snapshot of Civil War era architecture.I toured the campus several years ago with then President, Dr. King Jordan, and spent most of the day with him. Lots of folks using the network (we reviewed usage patterns in WCS -the big jump is right after dinner). IM is big. Video CAMs are big. Walking by the student center, you can see the students logged on and blogging. Gallaudet leads the world in both study programs as well as using technology for hearing-impaired and deaf education. They have pioneered video-relay of signed conversations to translators to make voice phone calls (they would be a great Beta for candidate for Cisco Unified Messaging). The campus is stuffed with PCs and video screens. What grabbed me on that visit, what grabbed my heart, was seeing these students in action. I received my first guided tour from a graduate student studying linguistics (Tranformational Grammar, Noam Chomsky anyone?). She signed me (and another student translated) how technology allows her to understand and model how speech, thought/cognitive process works in the human mind. She pointed out students flirting with each other, wirelessly, with Instant Messenger. It was amazing and eerie: the student center was quiet and hands were flying through the air, signing with passion and with verve, visual expressions communicating as well as words. Then it hit me like 36″ Louisville Slugger: technology, our technology, helps flatten the barriers for these gifted, wonderful young people, to participate and advance our society. Our network helped give them some advantages to their career and life development.And they thanked us for it.It was quite overwhelming and should stroke a passion in what we in the technology industry do. We will likely sell a lot of WLAN gear, but imagine the satisfaction of improving the lives and work of our customers like are at Gallaudet. Then we will be a great company that people will remember for a long time."Even though I am nearly deaf, I seem to be gifted with a kind of inner hearing which enables me to detect sounds and noises which the ordinary listener does not hear."- Thomas Edison

Annual trip to Tokyo, August 2012. Day trip to Hachioji Castle ruins.
東京都八王子市 八王子城 八王子神社 本丸跡 城山 深沢山 360度パノラマ
Tama area is the name of the western part of Tokyo Metropolis. It consists of 26 cities, 3 towns and a village. A lot of people (about 4 milion) live in a eastern half part of the area. However, there are many mountains in the western part of Tama area, and there are very little flat land. Many hiking spots are in the western area, so you can enjoy walking on the trail, camping, and so on. If you see the beautiful mountain scene, you may not believe this is also in Tokyo.

You have to love Brandon Marshall because, yes, he's a good receiver. But he gets it.
He understands when he's being tweaked. And he knows how to tweak the opponent.
And tweak the opponent is what Marshall has just done following Miami's 10-6 victory over the New York Jets.
"My goal this week was to make sure we took advantage of this oppotunity," Marshall said. "Big stage again and it was a divisional rivalry. The Patriots beat them last week and they took a ball and buried it. And we wanted to do the same. So hopefully they bury one our balls, too."
You'll remember Jets coach Rex Ryan took his team out to a hole in the back of their practice facility last week and buried the game ball from New York's 45-3 loss to New England. It was a symbol of how the team could put a terrible defeat behind them.
Well, this loss can't be too palatable for New York, either. They are officially on collapse watch. And coach Rex Ryan said he considered benching Mark Sanchez during this game.
Marshall did his part in helping Miami deliver a reason for New York to bury this result and the game ball from it. He scored the game's only touchdown on a 6 yard reception from Chad Henne.

Venezuela's Thumbprint Scanners Intimidate Voters, Hugo Chavez Opponents Say
CARACAS, Venezuela – Forget voter ID laws--Venezuela is using thumbprint readers at its ballot boxes.
But with President Hugo Chavez facing his tightest re-election race yet, some of his opponents say the devices may scare away voters, adding to fears about the fairness of the vote scheduled for Oct. 7.
The country's electoral council has long used fingerprint scanners at the entrance to polling places to ensure voter identification. But this year, the readers will be hooked to the electronic voting machines themselves. Citizens must press down a thumb to activate the ballot system.
Some say they fear that could let the government know how each person votes.
"If the thumbprint makes the machine work, how do you know it doesn't end up being recorded who you voted for?" asked Jacqueline Rivas, a 46-year-old housewife.
Experts say there is no evidence the system has ever been used to reveal voters' preferences, and most opposition leaders, who stand to suffer if supporters don't vote, have been eager to assure that the system is safe.
But worries have persisted. Many government opponents say they see a pro-Chavez bias in the National Electoral Council and remember a previous scandal in which the names of Venezuelans who petitioned to recall Chavez in 2004 were publicly leaked. Hundreds of people alleged they were fired or suffered discrimination after their names turned up on the "Tascon List," named after a pro-Chavez lawmaker who released it.
Chavez later urged supporters to "bury the list" and put it behind them.
Worries about the government obtaining the names of anti-Chavez voters led the opposition to destroy many lists of voters after its February primary to choose a presidential candidate, flouting a Supreme Court ruling that the lists should be turned over to the electoral council.
"A government that has fired people for thinking different, for voting different, that drew up the Tascon List and that puts out thumbprint machines, that puts in people's minds ... makes them fear the thumbprint," said Ramon Muchacho, an opposition politician.
Opposition presidential candidate Henrique Capriles and his campaign aides have sought to assuage fears, saying that they are sure voters' choices will remain secret and that no one should cave to any government attempts at intimidation.
The thumbprint readers were used in a voting drill held Sunday by electoral authorities to demonstrate balloting procedures at dozens of polling stations across the country.
At one school in Caracas, a trickle of people arrived to participate. Each person handed an identification card to a poll worker, who typed in the ID number. When each participant pressed a thumb to the reader, a blue light went on confirming the thumbprint was recognized. The image is instantly checked against a government database of thumbprints that are collected when citizens apply for national identification cards.
The voting machines were at a separate table, with a partition preventing others from seeing. Unlike the upcoming election, the choices Sunday were among symbols for different sports, such as swimming, athletics or boxing.
"I think the process is secure," said Orlando Blanco, a voter who emerged with an index finger marked with blue ink.
Another participant, Raisa Solorza, also said the system worked well. "It can't be revealed who we vote for. That's the most important thing," she said.
Others who question the thumbprint readers include the vote watchdog group Sumate. Ricardo Estevez, the group's executive director, said past checks of the system have shown that safeguards are in place to ensure secrecy. "But the problem is the perception," he said.
The National Electoral Council has been touting the system in television ads that show a smiling man pressing a thumb onto the screen as a voice assures voters that the automated identification system is a "secure key to vote."
Sumate and other critics question how effective the system is, pointing to the statements by election officials that the thumbprint data are incomplete and saying the voter rolls haven't been audited to weed out errors and duplicate registrations.
Diego Arria, a Chavez opponent who is a former Venezuelan ambassador to the United Nations, said the thumbprint system won't ensure that each voter casts only one ballot. "But it will work for something, and it's the fundamental aim: to intimidate voters."
In addition to public employees who may fear for their jobs, there are also more than 1 million Venezuelans who have given their thumbprints when they applied for public housing, Arria said. "It serves to scare them."
Even critics who say they're confident the vote will remain secret worry about the fairness of the election campaign, saying the electoral council tilts in Chavez's favor.
Four of the five members of the council are either Chavez allies or perceived as favoring the president. The National Assembly, where Chavez backers have long held a majority, appoints the council members, who include a former congresswoman from Chavez's party and a former minister in his Cabinet. The council's former chief, Jorge Rodriguez, is now Chavez's campaign manager.
The council has largely ignored opposition complaints that Chavez is hogging campaign airtime and abusing his presidential authority by regularly forcing all Venezuelan TV and radio stations to interrupt programming for his marathon speeches.
Last week, council Vice President Sandra Oblitas accused Capriles of "contempt of the electoral authority" for ignoring council warnings about using a baseball cap with the colors of the national flag. Campaign regulations ban use of the flag's colors in electoral propaganda, but Capriles maintains he has done nothing wrong.
Chavez criticized Capriles' stance at a campaign rally on Sunday, saying: "There's a referee and rules that must be respected."
Some Chavez adversaries express distrust.
"In Venezuela, there's no electoral referee. There's a ministry of elections of the regime," Arria said. "When such a sophisticated system is put in their hands, it makes it more dangerous."
Tibisay Lucena, the president of the electoral council since 2006, insists the body is fully independent and defends the country's automated voting system, which also involves manual auditing of paper receipts printed out by the ballot machines.
"The Venezuelan electoral process is one of the most audited in the world," Lucena told reporters recently. "We have controls that make impossible any attempt to interfere with the public will."
Capriles has been trailing in the polls, though the margin has varied widely in surveys. The Venezuelan polling firm Datanalisis found Chavez with a 15-point lead in one June poll, but also said 23 percent of those surveyed were undecided or didn't reveal a preference. The poll had a margin of error of nearly three percentage points.
"Beyond the automated system and other factors, we have no doubt that if we have low abstention and the presence of witnesses in all the voting centers, we're going to win," said Teresa Albanes, who leads the opposition's election commission.

Established in 1994, the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize is given annually to "a man or woman who has made an outstanding contribution to the beauty of the world and to mankind's enjoyment and understanding of life." Named after the silent film actresses, who left most of their estates to the arts, the $300,000 Gish Prize is one of the largest in the arts and is meant to honor groundbreaking figures in all disciplines.
Receiving it in its 18th year, Brown joins a formidable and eclectic roster of artists — see below — many of whom, like Brown, have had lengthy associations with the Walker. Bill T. Jones, for instance, performed an open rehearsal with his company just last night; and the 10-day festival The Next Stage: Merce Cunningham at the Walker Art Center unfolds starting in late October.
In 2008, the Walker presented an exhibition of Brown's drawings and other artworks integrating the performing and visual arts, along with several performances of her early work, in Trisha Brown: So That the Audience Does Not Know Whether I Have Stopped Dancing.
Congratulations to Ms. Brown on this latest honor in recognizing her work and its influence. More about the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize here.

Despite a modest uptick in October, the JPM Global Manufacturing PMI just recorded its fourth straight reading below 50. With its 12-month moving average teetering on that dividing line between expansion and contraction, it seems clear that the risk is to the downside as far as the global economy is concerned.
In fairness, the index has only been around for 12 years, which is not enough of a history to establish a definitive causal relationship. But given the value that PMI indicators for individual countries have had with respect to predicting economic upturns and downturns, and it doesn't seem a stretch to interpret the recent negative readings in a similar light.

The two Australian radio hosts at the heart of the royal hospital prank call that is believed to have led to the death of nurse Jacintha Saldanha say they are "gutted and heartbroken."
In their first televised interviews since the death, with Australia's "A Current Affair" and rival program "Today Tonight", presenters Mel Greig and Michael Christian wept openly as they spoke about the nurse.
(MORE: Scrutiny Builds at Radio Station That Prank Called London Hospital)
Jacintha Saldanha, a nurse at the Kind Edward VII hospital in London, died last week in what is believed to be a suicide. The 46-year old nurse was working on reception when on Tuesday morning she answered a phone call from the two Australian presenters. The prank involved Greig impersonating the Queen and asking about the health of the Duchess of Cambridge, who at the time was being treated for an acute form of morning sickness, hyperemesis gravidarum.
Saldanha put the call through to the Duchess's ward, where another nurse spoke about the Duchess's condition. The call was pre-recorded and vetted by lawyers before it was aired to listeners in Sydney on the station 2Day FM. On Friday morning, Saldanha was found unconscious in her nurse's residence not far from the hospital. Paramedics attempted to revive her, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
(MORE: Family Grieves for Nurse Who Died After Royal Prank Call)
Both Greig and Christian, who have been receiving counseling following the news, have faced public backlash, including in India, where Saldanha hails from, after the suspected suicide was reported. Copycat pages have been set up of the radio station's website, including one that asked users to vote in a poll on whether they would commit suicide if they received a prank call.
Asked if they remember the first time they heard the news, Greig responded that it was a moment she has "not stopped thinking about since it happened." She wept as she recalled that her first question had been, "Was she a mother?"
(MORE: Kate's Baby: What the Future Holds)
Both Greig and Christian appeared shell-shocked as they explained that the turn of events was something they believe was unforeseeable. "It was never meant to go that far," said Greig. "It was meant to be a silly little prank that so many people had done before. This wasn't meant to happen." Christian added that the stunt was not meant to cause upset, and that the "joke was always on us. We assumed that with the voices we put on, that was the gag, it was on us."
(MORE: Q&A: Dealing With a Sister's Suicide)
The radio station's parent company, Southern Cross Austereo, said that staff had tried five times to get in touch with the nurses who were on the call to ask their permission to broadcast the prank. In a statement on its website, the company announced that there would be a "comprehensive review of relevant company policies and processes" and that it will "fully cooperate with any investigations." Its chief executive officer Rhys Holleran apologized to Saldanha's family for their loss.
Friends and family are currently comforting Saldanha's two teenage children and husband, who reside in Bristol, England. The hospital has established a memorial fund in her name, and an inquest into the apparent suicide is expected to open in the next few days.

NFL: Skins get Kentucky DE Jarmon in supplemental draft
AP Sports Writer
WASHINGTON The Washington Redskins figure they got a bargain by taking Kentucky defensive end Jeremy Jarmon in the third round of the NFL's supplemental draft today.
And Jarmon figures he gets an early jump on his professional career after being declared ineligible for his senior season by the NCAA because he tested positive for a banned substance.
"There's been a lot of ups and downs. ... I was real disappointed at the time, when the ruling came out. That was definitely one of the low points, if not the lowest point, of my life so far," Jarmon said in a conference call with reporters. "But I started to get over it."
The 6-foot-3, 277-pound Jarmon is the first player the Redskins have taken with a supplemental selection. The team relinquishes its third-round pick in the 2010 NFL draft.
Washington executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato thinks Jarmon would have been taken in the second round if he'd remained in school for his senior year.
Cerrato called Thursday's choice "a chance to get a quality player at a quality price," and noted that other teams indicated they would have tried to take Jarmon in the fourth round of the supplemental draft.
Cerrato said Jarmon will play left defensive end, the same primary position played by Brian Orakpo, Washington's top pick in April. Getting Jarmon is the latest move aimed at upgrading a pass rush that ranked last in the NFC in 2008 with only 24 sacks. Washington began free agency by landing All-Pro defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, then drafted Orakpo.
Jarmon was the only player drafted in Thursday's special selection process, which was conducted electronically by the league from its New York headquarters.
Jarmon had nine sacks in 13 games last season and was fourth on Kentucky with 62 tackles, 13½ for loss. He had 17½ sacks in three seasons, third-most in Kentucky history. Cerrato said that Jarmon "has a great lower body, needs to get stronger in the upper body."
Cerrato pointed out that by taking Jarmon now, the Redskins get a chance to groom him, and he can be tutored by veteran ends Phillip Daniels and Renaldo Wynn.
Redskins players report for training camp on July 29, and the first practices are the next day.
"I feel like I'm a pretty smart guy," Jarmon said, adding that he wants to get his hands on a play book as soon as possible.
"I need to jump into it and get to learning the plays and learning the formations and sitting down in the film room and putting plays through the video to see what they look like, to see how guys play in certain packages and try to go into camp with an idea of what I'm supposed to do on each and every play," he said. "I'm going to be so busy when I get to Washington."
He worked out for NFL teams, including Washington, last week in Kentucky, then had dinner a couple of days later with Redskins owner Dan Snyder and coach Jim Zorn in Aspen, Colo.
"The kid's an articulate kid. He's already graduated in poli-sci. He's only 21 years old," Cerrato said. "He made a mistake taking a dietary substance from right around the corner."
Jarmon acknowledged in May he was being punished by the NCAA. On Thursday, he said he took an over-the-counter dietary supplement to avoid putting on weight while unable to work out in the offseason because of tendinitis in his left shoulder.
He wouldn't say Thursday what the supplement or substance was.
When being interviewed by teams before the supplemental draft, Jarmon said, "It wasn't an issue, because I told teams exactly what the supplement was, what the substance in the supplement was that I tested positive for. They did their research on it."

Chairman Baker, Ranking Member Kanjorski, and Members of the Subcommittee:
Thank you for inviting me to testify today on behalf of the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning alleged abuses relating to the sale of mutual funds. With more than 95 million Americans invested in mutual funds, representing approximately 54 million U.S. households, and a combined $7 trillion in assets, mutual funds are a vital part of this nation's economy and millions of investors' financial security. For that reason, I share the outrage and disappointment of Chairman Donaldson, and so many others, at the misconduct that recently has come to light. It is intolerable when investment professionals who have a duty to serve the best interests of their customers instead put their own interests first. That way of thinking is antithetical to the responsibilities investment advisers, broker-dealers, and their employees owe to mutual fund investors. Mutual fund investors have a right to expect fair treatment, and when they do not receive it, we at the Commission will demand it on their behalf.
Accordingly, the Commission has undertaken an aggressive agenda to identify and address problems in the mutual fund industry. That agenda has both an enforcement component, which I will discuss, and a regulatory component, which my colleague Paul Roye, Direct of Investment Management, will address.
The enforcement piece of the Commission's agenda relating to mutual funds currently is focused on four types of misconduct, each of which may result in the interests of financial services firms or their employees being placed above the interests of investors. I will touch on each briefly, and then turn to the Commission's response to the recent revelations of serious misconduct relating to the trading of mutual funds.
The first area of priority, which I will discuss in detail in a moment, is late trading and timing of mutual fund shares.
Our second area of priority focuses on sales practices. In particular, what are prospective mutual fund investors being told about revenue sharing arrangements and other incentives doled out by mutual fund companies to brokers selling their funds? Do customers understand that their broker is being paid to sell a particular fund? And when these payments are being made from fund assets, do customers understand that their own investment dollars are being used to foot the bill for the mutual funds' premium "shelf space" at the selling broker's office? Such fees may increase costs to investors as well as create conflicts of interest between investors and the financial professionals with whom they deal. The Commission's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations is conducting a series of examinations of industry practices in this area, and the Division of Enforcement has investigations underway exploring possible abuses.
Our third area of priority in the mutual fund arena is the sale of different classes of mutual fund shares. Many mutual funds offer multiple classes of shares in a single portfolio. For each class of shares, a mutual fund uses a different method to collect sales charges from investors. Class A fund shares are subject to an initial sales charge ("front-end load"); discounts on front-end loads are available for large purchases of Class A shares. Since the sales fee is paid up front, Class A shares incur smaller "rule 12b-1 fees," a fee the mutual fund pays for distribution costs, including payments to the broker-dealers and their registered representatives selling fund shares.
Class B shares, by contrast, are not subject to an up-front sales charge. Instead, they become subject to a sales charge (a "contingent deferred sales charge" or "CDSC") only if, and when, they are redeemed before the end of a specified holding period. Class B shares usually automatically convert to Class A shares after a specified number of years. Because Class B share investors only pay a CDSC, if any, at the time that they redeem their shares, the funds pay higher rule 12b-1 fees on Class B shares to defray the associated distribution expenses. As a result, brokers typically earn larger commissions on Class B shares than on Class A.
The Commission's examiners have made this an area of priority for review in examinations. In addition, the Commission has brought two enforcement actions involving the sales of Class B shares to investors who were not made aware by their registered representatives that they could purchase Class A shares of the same mutual fund at a discount. For example, on July 10, 2003, the Commission brought a case against Prudential Securities in connection with the sale of Class B shares. Prudential had in place policies and procedures requiring reps to advise their clients of the availability of different classes of mutual funds and fully explain the terms of each. Prudential branch managers were also expected to approve all purchases greater than $100,000 and confirm the suitability of the choice of fund class. The Commission found, however, that Prudential failed to adopt a sufficient supervisory system to enable those above the branch manager to determine whether these policies and procedures were being followed. Under Prudential's system, branch office managers were solely responsible for ensuring that registered representatives followed the firm's mutual fund policies and procedures. As a result, when the rep's branch manager failed to abide by and enforce Prudential's policies and procedures, the firm had no way of detecting the lapse. In resolving the Commission's action, Prudential was censured and agreed to pay disgorgement and a civil penalty. The Commission's action against the registered representative and branch manager, which charges them with fraud, is pending.
The final priority area is to address the abuse of so-called "breakpoints." Breakpoints are the specified investment levels at which the discounts available on front-end loads for large purchases of Class A shares increase. Earlier this year, examiners at the SEC, NASD, and NYSE completed an examination sweep and outlined the results in a report, "Joint SEC/NASD/NYSE Report of Examinations of Broker-Dealers Regarding Discounts on Front-End Sales Charges on Mutual Funds."1 Together with the NASD, we have under active investigation instances in which it appears that investors were entitled to receive breakpoint discounts based on the size of their purchase of Class A shares, but where the firms failed to provide discounts.
This brief overview of the Commission's enforcement agenda with respect to mutual funds is intended to give you a sense of the scope of our activities. I recognize, however, that today's hearing was prompted by recent revelations involving late trading and timing of mutual funds. Accordingly, I will now turn to that subject.
As you well know, the conduct of mutual funds and the financial intermediaries with and through which they do business, recently came to the public's attention when New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer announced an action involving abusive mutual fund trading practices by a hedge fund, Canary Capital Partners, LLC. The Canary action identified two problematic practices late trading of mutual funds and timing of mutual funds. Late trading refers to the practice of placing orders to buy or sell mutual fund shares after the time at which the funds calculate their net asset value ("NAV") typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time ("ET") but receiving the price based upon the prior NAV already determined as of 4:00 p.m. Late trading violates the federal securities laws concerning the price at which mutual fund shares must be bought or sold and defrauds innocent investors in those mutual funds by giving to the late trader an advantage not available to other investors.
"Timing" abuses refer to excessive short-term trading in mutual funds in order to exploit inefficiencies in mutual fund pricing. Although market timing itself is not illegal, mutual fund advisers have an obligation to ensure that mutual fund shareholders are treated fairly and that one group of shareholders (i.e., market timers) is not favored over another group of shareholders (i.e., long term investors). In addition, when a fund states in its prospectus that it will act to curb market timing, it must meet that obligation.
Abusive market timing can dilute the value of mutual fund shares to the extent that a trader may buy and sell shares rapidly and repeatedly to take advantage of inefficiencies in the way mutual funds prices are determined. Dilution could occur if fund shares are overpriced and redeeming shareholders receive proceeds based on the overvalued shares. In addition, short-term trading can raise transaction costs for the fund, it can disrupt the fund's stated portfolio management strategy, require a fund to maintain an elevated cash position, and result in lost opportunity costs and forced liquidations. Short-term trading can also result in unwanted taxable capital gains for fund shareholders and reduce the fund's long-term performance. In short, while individual shareholders may profit from engaging in short-term trading of mutual fund shares, the costs associated with such trading are borne by all fund shareholders.
Following the announcement of the Canary Capital case, the Commission put in motion an action plan to vigorously investigate the matter, assess the scope of the problem, and hold any wrongdoers accountable. Specifically, the Commission is proceeding on three fronts, utilizing its enforcement authority, its examination authority, and its regulatory authority. I will address the first two areas of the Commission's efforts.
In the enforcement area, we are working aggressively to pursue wrongdoing, and are doing so in close coordination with State regulators, including Mr. Spitzer and Mr. Galvin in Massachusetts. Thus far, the Commission has brought actions against persons associated with three different types of entities a broker-dealer, a hedge fund, and two mutual funds each of which can play a role in disadvantaging long-term mutual fund investors. Our actions to date address allegations of both late trading and market timing. I will briefly summarize those actions.
On September 16, the Commission filed a civil action against Theodore Sihpol, a salesperson at Bank of America Securities ("BOA"), who was Canary Capital's primary contact at Bank of America. Specifically, the Commission issued an administrative order instituting proceedings in which the Division of Enforcement (the "Division") alleges that Sihpol played a key role in enabling certain hedge fund customers of BOA to engage in late trading in shares of mutual funds offered by Bank of America, including the Nations Funds family of funds and other mutual funds. Based on the conduct alleged in the Commission's Order, the Division alleges that Sihpol violated, and aided and abetted and caused violations of, the antifraud, mutual fund pricing and broker-dealer record-keeping provisions of the federal securities laws. In its action, the Division is seeking civil penalties, disgorgement and other relief, which may include permanently barring Sihpol from the securities industry.2 Simultaneous with the issuance of the Commission's order, Sihpol surrendered in connection with Attorney General Spitzer's filing of a two-count complaint charging him with larceny and securities fraud.
Less than three weeks later, the Commission and the New York Attorney General announced criminal and civil actions against Steven B. Markovitz, formerly an executive and senior trader with the prominent hedge fund firm Millennium Partners, L.P. In the New York Attorney General's criminal action, Markovitz pleaded guilty in State Supreme Court to a violation of New York's Martin Act. The SEC's administrative order finds that Markovitz committed securities fraud. In partial settlement of the SEC's action, without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, Markovitz consented to cease and desist from violations of certain provisions of the federal securities laws, and to be permanently barred from associating with an investment adviser or from working in any capacity with or for a registered investment company. The SEC also is seeking disgorgement and civil penalties in amounts to be determined later.
According to the criminal charges and the SEC findings, Markovitz engaged in late trading of mutual fund shares on behalf of Millennium, one of the nation's largest hedge fund operators, with more than $4 billion under management. With the assistance of certain registered broker-dealers, Markovitz placed mutual fund orders after 4:00 p.m. ET, but obtained the prices that had been set as of 4:00 p.m. ET. By SEC rule, Markovitz's post-4:00 p.m. orders should have received the prices set on the following day. This illegal trading allowed Millenium to take advantage of events that occurred after the markets closed.
In its first action against a mutual fund executive for permitting market timing, on October 16, the Commission and the New York Attorney General announced the arrest, conviction, and lifetime industry bar of James P. Connelly, Jr., former Vice Chairman and Chief Mutual Fund Officer of Fred Alger & Company, Inc., a prominent mutual fund firm. Connelly pled guilty to the crime of Tampering with Physical Evidence. The criminal charges against Connelly stem from his repeated efforts to tamper with an ongoing investigation of illegal trading practices in the mutual funds industry, including by directing subordinates to delete emails called for by subpoenas.
In its administrative order, the SEC found that Connelly approved agreements that permitted select investors to "time" certain mutual funds managed by Alger, a practice that violates an adviser's fiduciary duties and adversely affects the value of the fund being timed. In this case, the timing arrangements were also inconsistent with Alger's public disclosures in prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information filed with the SEC. According to the Commission's order, Connelly was involved in timing arrangements at Alger from the mid-1990s until 2003. By early 2003, Connelly was requiring that investors seeking timing capacity agree to maintain at least 20% of their investment at Alger in buy-and-hold positions, sometimes referred to as "sticky assets."
In settling the SEC action, Connelly neither admitted nor denied the SEC findings. The Commission's order directs Connelly to cease and desist from future violations of various provisions of the federal securities laws; bars him from association with any broker, dealer or investment adviser; bars him from serving in various capacities with respect to any registered investment company; and imposes a $400,000 civil penalty.
Most recently, on October 28, the Commission brought actions against Putnam Investment Management LLC ("Putnam") and two former Putnam Managing Directors and portfolio managers, Justin M. Scott and Omid Kamshad, in connection with the personal trading by those Managing Directors in Putnam mutual funds. The Commission filed a civil injunctive action against Justin M. Scott and Omid Kamshad charging each of them with securities fraud. The complaint alleges that Scott and Kamshad, for their own personal accounts, engaged in excessive short-term trading of Putnam mutual funds for which they were portfolio managers. According to the complaint, Scott and Kamshad's investment decision-making responsibility for those funds afforded them access to non-public information about the funds, including current portfolio holdings, valuations and transactions. The complaint further alleges that Scott and Kamshad's short-term trading violated their responsibilities to other fund shareholders, that Scott and Kamshad failed to disclose their trading and that, by their trading, they potentially harmed other fund shareholders.
The Commission issued an administrative order instituting proceedings against Putnam in which the Division of Enforcement (the "Division") alleges that Putnam engaged in securities fraud by failing to disclose to the funds or to the fund boards the potentially self-dealing transactions in fund shares by Scott, Kamshad and other employees. The Division further alleges that Putnam failed to supervise Scott, Kamshad and other employees, that it failed to have policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of non-public information and that it failed adequately to enforce its code of ethics.3
Against the individual defendants the Commission is seeking injunctive relief, disgorgement, penalties, and such equitable relief as the court deems appropriate. As to Putnam, the Division is seeking relief in the form of a cease-and-desist order, disgorgement, a penalty, and such other relief as the Commission deems appropriate.
As I noted, the Commission's response to the revelations of misconduct in the mutual fund area is multi-pronged. The second area of authority that we are utilizing aggressively is the Commission's examination authority, which entitles us to obtain promptly information and records from regulated entities. Accordingly, immediately following the Canary announcement, relying on the Commission's examination powers, the Commission's staff sent detailed information requests to 88 of the largest mutual fund complexes in the country and 34 broker-dealers, including prime brokerage firms and other large broker-dealers. These written requests sought information on each entity's policies and practices relating to market timing and late trading. In the case of mutual funds and broker-dealers, we have obtained information regarding their pricing of mutual fund orders and adherence to their stated policies regarding market timing. We also have sought information from mutual funds susceptible to market timing regarding their use of fair value pricing procedures to combat this type of activity.
The examination staff is still analyzing the information received as a result of these requests, and in many cases has sought additional details. Some firms' responses are still incomplete. Nevertheless, some firms' responses have warranted aggressive follow-up, and thus, Commission examiners have been dispatched to conduct onsite inspections and interviews at a number of firms. Responses from some other firms have already led to referrals to the enforcement staff for further investigation. All told, SEC staff across the country are looking at the activities and practices of dozens of firms.
Although we are continuing to receive and analyze information in response to our requests, based on the information analyzed to date, we are in a position to provide you the following preliminary results. It is important to be clear that these results are preliminary and are under active review by our staff.
The staff sent letters to 34 broker-dealers requesting extensive information. The responses indicate the following:
As noted, our examination and enforcement staff is aggressively examining or investigating each of these situations to determine the facts surrounding the trading and whether the trading violates the federal securities laws.
The 88 mutual fund groups responding to the staff's requests have a total of $ 5.7 trillion in assets, which is approximately 90% of the fund industry's total assets, and have about 4,100 individual funds or portfolios under management. Again, Commission staff is following up on these responses to ascertain specific facts, but preliminary results indicate:
Another area in which the staff's inquiries have exposed possible abuse is the selective disclosure of mutual fund portfolios. Most funds regularly provide portfolio information to service providers, such as custodians, administrators, securities lending agents, pricing services, and rating agencies, with the understanding that such portfolio information will not be used to make investment decisions to place orders for fund shares. In general, such disclosures are appropriate and necessary to the operation of the funds. However, our preliminary results in this area, based on responses by mutual fund groups, suggest the possibility of inappropriate selective disclosure of fund portfolios:
This information, too, is being probed further by Commission staff.
The Commission's investigation of mutual fund trading abuses is continuing on multiple fronts. I want to emphasize that we will aggressively pursue those who have violated the law and injured investors as a result of illegal late-trading, market-timing, self-dealing, or any other illegal activity we uncover. Those responsible for these practices will be identified and will be held fully accountable.
Wherever possible, the Commission also will seek recompense for investors in connection with mutual fund fraud. We will, of course, continue to work closely and cooperatively with state officials who also are taking steps to protect investors.
I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

2 In connection with the SEC's order, a hearing will be scheduled before an administrative law judge to determine whether the allegations contained in the order are true and to provide Sihpol an opportunity to respond to them.
3 In connection with the SEC's administrative order, a hearing will be scheduled before an administrative law judge to determine whether the allegations contained in the order are
true and to provide Putnam an opportunity to respond to them.

Baton Rouge–Attorney General Buddy Caldwell filed a lawsuit, on behalf of the state of Louisiana, against British health care giant GlaxoSmithKline LLC (GSK) over its illegal promotion of the drugs Paxil, Wellbutrin, Advair, Lamictal, Zofran, Imitrex, Lotronex, Flovent and Valtrex for off-label, non-covered uses in violation of state laws. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Baton Rouge, has been assigned to Judge Janice Clark of the 19th Judicial District Court.
"GSK's egregious conduct and greed caused fraudulent claims to be submitted to the Louisiana Medicaid Program," said Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell. "As Attorney General, I will aggressively pursue and expose pharmaceutical companies who defraud our state and its citizens."
