Microsoft XP Extends Antimalware Support, Cybersecurity Concerns
Back in October of last year, we learned that Microsoft was ending support for its XP operating system – a move that would force users to upgrade to its more current software. Fast forward to today, and more than 29% of PC users are still using XP (according to NetMarketShare). In an interesting move, Microsoft announced recently that it will continue to provide updates to its antimalware signatures and engine for Windows XP users through July 14, 2015. Microsoft did caution that its research shows that the effectiveness of antimalware solutions on out-of-support operating systems is limited.
But why?
We can assume this is a move at least partly fueled by slow adoption of software upgrades, based on the figure NetMarketShare has provided. Beyond private PC users, however, there may lie an even greater reason for extending security support. Reports suggest that more than 90% of ATMs across the United States are operating with Windows XP – a potentially crippling situation if hackers were able to breach the operating system. Last year, "a high-profile criminal group in Europe took advantage of a security vulnerability in XP that allowed them to use flash drives to infect ATMs with malicious software, emptying the machines of cash one-by-one. Researchers estimate that they may have gotten away with millions of Euros."

How Will the AIFMD Affect Private Equity Firms?
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, which prompted a call to stricter regulations across the board, the European Commission decided to develop the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD). The European Commission pointed out that managers of alternative investment funds are responsible for the management of a significant amount of invested assets and can exercise an important influence on markets and companies in which they invest. Furthermore, the Commission believed activities of such alternative investment funds may amplify risks through the financial system. The directive has been developed to address a number of risks identified by the Commission relating to alternative investment funds, including systemic risk, through a single set of rules that would apply across the board.
The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive came into force on 22nd July 2013. Since then, the alternative investment fund managers, including managers of hedge funds, private equity firms and investment firms, have been working on submitting the 35-page application form to get registered under the directive before it comes into effect in less than four months.
The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive will most likely affect private equity funds if they are located in or have investors in the European Union and are identified as the alternative investment fund manager. Fund managers at private equity firms will need to obtain and comply with transparency and the reporting requirements of the directive in order to manage and market private equity funds within the EU.

Dropbox Alternatives Coming to a Hedge Fund Private Cloud Near You
Is Dropbox becoming a noun? For the sake of this article, let's say it is.
With over 200 million users, Dropbox (and similar services) is gaining popularity based on its ability to allow users to share files and sync data between devices. These capabilities are very appealing but rely on a public cloud platform that can introduce security and compliance concerns for hedge funds.
Dropbox made headlines last year when it was discovered by security researchers that the service opens some files once they are uploaded. While Dropbox provided an explanation, this can be a serious issue for businesses where employees are using Dropbox to share sensitive company and investment data.
So are your employees using Dropbox? Probably. A study conducted by Gigaom of 1,300 business professionals found that one out of five use public file sharing services, such as Dropbox, with work documents. And, half of those users know their companies have rules against it. This raises the question, how do you give employees access to a valuable tool in a way that meets compliance and security protection obligations?

A Hacker's Tool Kit: Cyber Security Threats to Financial Firms
It has been said that cyber weapons can be as dangerous as weapons of mass destruction. To emphasize this, at last night's FBI Citizens Academy seminar on cyber security in financial markets, the speaker noted that if you take out an industry (think financial, teleco) you can cripple an entire country.
But just how would this happen? What's in a hacker's tool kit? Quinn Shamblin, executive director of information security at Boston University, provided a glimpse into the cyber security underworld.
Targeting Your Favorite Device
Let's start with Mobile Device Security. Hackers are shifting their focus and resources to mobile devices. They recognize that a user's life is virtually encapsulated on his/her mobile device. From contacts and email to documents, passwords and banking apps, mobile devices now hold as much as or more personal information than PCs or laptops. And most devices do not have anti-virus/malware software installed.
Just last Friday, Apple released a critical update to its iOS 7 operating system after a flaw was identified that could give an attacker with a privileged network position the ability to capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS (aka public key encryption). Following that announcement, researchers at a cyber security firm (FireEye) published a proof of concept for a surveillance app that, if created and distributed by hackers, could capture every tap on an iPhone's screen. The information captured, including passwords and credit card numbers, would be accessible to the attacker. These are just two examples of the cyber security threats facing mobile devices. Users need to be aware that these threats exist and practice smart computing on all devices.

Three Reasons the Private Cloud is Just like Olympic Curling
Have you been enamored by the coverage of the Winter Olympics the last two weeks? We sure have. And watching all of these great sports we don't normally get the chance to witness got us thinking – there are a lot of similarities between technology and Olympic sports. They're both complex in many ways and require experts (engineers and athletes) who are the best of the best at what they do.
One of our favorite sports to watch is curling. And we couldn't help but notice that Olympic curling and the private cloud are a lot alike. Don't believe us? Take a look.
Both are safe and secure.
Let's be honest: curling clearly presents the least amount of danger and lowest risk for injury at the Winter Olympics. Skiing and snowboarding? We've seen our fair share of wipeouts this year. Bobsled, luge and skeleton? Those are terrifying enough just as a spectator. Even figure skating poses a risk when skaters are leaping and twizzling left and right.
But curling? Extremely safe. Athletes can be fairly certain – whether they are curling or sweeping – that they will come out of the event unscathed.

Ledgex Tackles Liquidity Management Challenge for Fund of Funds
Effectively managing liquidity and reporting within investment portfolios has been a struggle for fund of funds, institutional investors, pensions and endowments. No manager wants to in a position where their investor liquidity does not match portfolio liquidity but at the same time firms are trying to offer investors more frequent liquidity options as a competitive edge. In some case, investors are even asking for no liquidity limits.
To adapt to the changing liquidity risk landscape, firms are selecting portfolio management systems from companies like Ledgex Systems. Recently, Ledgex released the next generation of its portfolio management platform that delivers new liquidity management and manager research modules. These new tools give firms real-time visibility into their existing and proposed portfolio liquidity options while providing the research and analytics that support the manager selection process.
The Ledgex Liquidity module provides an advanced liquidity modeling utility and reporting engine, which can generate all available options for accessing assets given certain conditions by processing each tranche and their respective trade characteristics with a manager's liquidity terms. Ledgex can model 90% of the manager liquidity terms used in the industry.

How Is Your Firm Mitigating Technology Risk?
Investment risk plays an important role in the life of a hedge fund manager, but technology risk should not. When it comes to your firm's technology systems and operations, you want things to run efficiently, not add more stress to your already crowded plate.
Mitigating technology risk is a critical step to ensuring your hedge fund operates smoothly and successfully. Following are a few areas to keep in mind as you evaluate your firm's technology risk:
Layers of Redundancy
One way to reduce your firm's technology risk is to add layers of redundancy throughout your infrastructure. Whether you're utilizing a cloud infrastructure or an on-premise environment, your servers, networking and telecomm lines should feature N+1 availability, a configuration in which multiple components have at least one independent backup component to ensure system functionality continues in the event of a failure.

The Marlboro Town Council approved a resolution last week to hire 12 more special officers in order to supplement the cops in schools trial program.
The temporary program, which is at an estimated cost of $105,000 for 90 days, puts one officer in each Marlboro Township school for the duration of a school day. The move was a response to the tragic shootings in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.
According to Police Chief Bruce Hall, the 12 come from surrounding towns such as Freehold and Howell, as well as some retired Marlboro officers.
"These retired officers are highly trained and possess the necessary skill sets to perform the task assigned as a Class II Special Officer in our K-8 schools," Hall said in an email to Patch.
During the security trial period, the school district and Marlboro Police Department will assess the current state of school security in the township and recommend a long term plan to the Board of Education.
If the board decides to keep officers in schools, a budget referendum may be up to the voters to decide on.
Last year, the Board of Education moved its election period to November, removing the public budget vote as allowed in state law. The public now only votes on the school budget if the budget exceeds the state mandated annual two percent increase cap.

Glasgow Daily Times
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) federal legislation was passed in 2001 and became law in early 2002.
The act was designed "to close the achievement gap with accountability, flexibility and choice, so that no child is left behind." But NCLB has proven to be anything but flexible, according to Kentucky Commissioner of Education Terry Holliday and many school district superintendents across the state.
With Kentucky only meeting 52 percent or 13 of 25 target goals for NCLB and not making adequate yearly progress (AYP) in reading or math benchmarks in the latest testing assessments, Holliday has requested a waiver from the U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan for more flexibility in NCLB accountability for the state.
"While NCLB had the right vision, it's time to revisit the measurement system required by the law," Holliday commented in a Kentucky Department of Education news release on Friday.
One local school superintendent, Bo Matthews of Barren County, is also concerned, especially since Holliday is questioning whether the NCLB system is fair, valid or reliable.
"When my boss, the commissioner of education, makes a statement to that degree, you know it brings into some question what my response as superintendent ... needs to be when addressing a total, school-wide improvement plan," Matthews said.
None of the five school districts in the coverage area met all of their NCLB target goals and only Metcalfe County made AYP in math as a district. High school performance for NCLB and AYP caused the main deficits for all districts except Caverna where CHS met 100 percent of target goals and achieved AYP in reading and math.
In NCLB results, the Barren County district met 6 of 13 target goals or 46.2 percent and did not achieve AYP in reading or math.
All schools in the district except Park City Elementary (8 of 10) and Barren County High School (4 of 10) achieved 100 percent of their target goals.
With all but one of the elementaries meeting goals for the last two years, Matthews wants to acknowledge points of celebration at those schools, but also wants to make sure that plans are in place to address possible negative outcomes down the road – to "look for the positives, but address the negatives."
"We need to develop action plans to address a future trend that might be making itself become visible," he said.
Results at the middle school are also to be touted, Matthews said. BCMS met 10 of 10 targets and AYP overall.
"Certainly, this is a year we have reason to celebrate," he said.
But numbers at the high school pulled the down the district's performance.
"It's definitely a cause for concern, but you have to take it for what it really means," Matthews said. "We have this totally conflicting data. Are we really talking about the same high school?"
Matthews pointed to BCHS's successes with the Early College Magnet program, nationally recognized AP and dual credits initiatives, and ACT and College/Career Readiness scores.
"I understand accountability. I just don't want to undermine the success of individual students," he said. "... Absolutely, we need to respond to the numbers, but a one-year number or target that is not hit in my view is not a cause for alarm. It's a cause for evaluation. ... A school can improve. The issue is that the target moves as well. I feel like the case has already been made that the high school and the district, regardless of the assessment data, is still moving in a positive direction. ... The struggle is that they continually change the system we use to monitor students."
The Caverna school district overall met 4 of 10 target goals or 40 percent in NCLB results. The district did not meet AYP in reading or math.
Caverna Elementary School met 9 of 10 targets for 90 percent and made AYP in math, but not reading. Caverna Middle School only met 4 of 10 targets for 40 percent and did not make AYP in reading or math. Caverna High School met all 9 of 9 targets for 100 percent and met AYP in both reading and math.
In comparison, last year CES met 4 of 10 targets, CMS met 10 of 10 targets and CHS met 7 of 10 targets. Both the elementary and high school improved this year, but the middle school showed a marked decline.
Superintendent Sam Dick was encouraged by the results at the elementary and high schools. He thought the middle school numbers could be misleading.
"As noted, CES made 90 percent of the goals. This is a great improvement over the 40 percent the year before. We are very pleased with the improvements that the elementary school made in reading, but we are not satisfied with the overall results," he said. "CES was considered to be in safe harbor in our overall reading and free and reduced reading because of the improvements that we made. We did not make goal, but reached safe harbor by reducing the number of students who performed below proficient by 10 percent. We are extremely pleased with our math results (at CES). We increased our number of proficient students by 20 percent over the previous year. We met the benchmark in all subpopulations in math."
The number of apprentice versus proficient/distinguished students affected results at the middle school, according to Dick.
"While the middle school met only 40 percent of the goals, the scores are misleading," he said. "As we examined our individual student scores, we found that we had 71 percent of our students performing at apprentice high and higher. In reading, the percentage of students performing at apprentice high or higher was 74 percent. The reason we fell dealt with the number of students around the apprentice high and proficient level. Compared to last year, we had a higher number of apprentice high than proficient/distinguished students. This kept us from making goal."
Results at the high school improved significantly to last year.
"We are extremely pleased with the performance at the high school. They met 10 out of 10 goals. This is phenomenal considering that high schools nationwide traditionally have had a difficult time meeting AYP," Dick said. "As we noted in a previous article on the CCR, there is a different set of skills needed than that for the NCLB. This can be seen in the discrepancy between our CCR scores (which were low) and our NCLB scores where we met goal."
After struggling for several years, CHS achieved AYP this year along with other increases.
"The data released this week shows that Caverna High School is making progress in every area that was assessed last year. This is the first time in five years that the high school has met AYP. Scores for last year's junior class showed marked advances. Math scores tripled and social studies saw an 11-point increase in the percentage of students scoring proficient and distinguished. Reading increased a total of nine points increasing our scores to 66.67, ranking us among the top schools in our area," Dick said.
The Glasgow District met 9 of 11 NCLB target goals or 81.8 percent, but did not make AYP in reading or math.
Both South Green Elementary and Glasgow Middle School met 10 of 10 targets for 100 percent and achieved AYP in reading and math.
Highland Elementary met 9 of 10 targets or 90 percent and AYP in math, but not reading.
Glasgow High School only met 7 of 12 targets or 58.3 percent and did not make AYP in reading or math.
"Any high school, as our accountability model currently exists, is the most challenging of any of the schools to move forward and maintain the benchmarks," said Sean Howard, Glasgow superintendent.
Howard has set guidelines for teachers and administrators to follow to help address the deficiencies.
"We must continue to provide the necessary guidance and support to our high school in order for the needed improvement to occur. We need to continue to provide professional development to our teachers in the areas of the most effective teaching and planning practices. We must have daily conversations which focus on the delivery of the content, the significance of well-designed assessments, and knowing how every student is performing on a daily basis. We must continue to build rapport with each student and continue to reach out to their needs and push them to excel," he said.
The Metcalfe County District met 9 of 11 target goals or 81.8 percent in NCLB and made AYP in math, but not reading.
Two of three elementaries, North Metcalfe Elementary and Summer Shade Elementary, plus Metcalfe County Middle School met 100 percent of their targets as well as making AYP in reading and math.
Edmonton Elementary and Metcalfe County High schools both only met 7 of 10 targets, and met AYP in math, but not reading.
When Superintendent Patricia Hurt was asked about why EES and MCHS decreased in the number of targets met this year, she explained the NCLB goals are moving targets, which makes them more difficult to achieve.
"Each year the NCLB goal rises, and we have to perform at the same high level as we did the previous year and then some. There is simply a reading issue at both schools and the gap continues to get wider in part due to the fact that the NCLB goal moves," she said.
Hurt has a three-point plan for addressing the deficits at the two schools concerning NCLB and AYP.
• "We need to spend time looking inside the KCCT results at the individual student level and map intervention strategies that have been identified for each child to be successful.
• "We have PD (personal development) day devoted to data disaggregation at each school site and by the end of the day, each school will identify goals that will be incorporated into their CSIP (comprehensive school improvement plan) to address each academic issue found.
• "We have placed additional support staff at the district and school levels to work with teachers and administrators in curriculum and instruction roles," she said.
What are the other schools in the district doing right to achieve NCLB and AYP benchmarks?
They have devised a system of interventions to best meet the needs of all students whom they serve, according to Hurt.
"Leadership holds teachers and students to a high standard of performance and best practice. The focus is on teaching and learning and are not distracted by things that matter least. A successful performance of any kind requires intentional focus. They utilize all available resources to illicit a high level of achievement and by doing so, they maximize learning opportunities for all," she said.
Monroe County District met 10 of 13 target goals or 76.9 percent for NCLB, but did not achieve AYP for reading or math.
All three elementaries, Gamaliel, Joe Harrison Carter and Tompkinsville, met 100 percent of their targets and AYP in both reading and math.
Monroe County Middle and Monroe County High each only met 6 of 10 targets and did not make AYP in reading or math.
The middle and high schools continue to underperform on NCLB/AYP when compared to the other schools in the district.
Superintendent Lewis Carter said the elementaries "continue to show consistent, continual climbs towards individual student success."
"That commitment to student growth is crucial in their successes, which have placed them in the top 10 percent of the state again this year for the fifth year in the row. The individualized education plans and RTI (Response to Intervention) have been in place for several years and we see the benefits already with increased student achievement and mastery levels. Individually, the schools score high on the reading and math - but the collaborative efforts through Professional Learning Communities in place for teachers through the whole county will continue to improve scores throughout the schools and district," he said.
Lewis pointed out that the test results do not follow the same students' performance.
"It is imperative that everyone realizes the individual data years do not compare the same group of students. Being able to see growth as the new Kentucky accountability system proposes will allow the progress of individual students to be measured. This will begin to let the public see the schools' actual numbers of 'apples to apples,'" he said.
Part of the improvement plan is to add an instructional coach to help address deficits in performance.
"As we look toward the remainder of this year, we will be using Title I Federal funds set aside for school improvement to employ an instructional coach at the Monroe County High School (pending board approval Thursday morning of the position). The charge of this person will be to evaluate, assist and monitor school improvement issues and strategies," Lewis said.

If you purchase the loose leaf, only about 6pcs will be needed for a full travel container, about 20oz.You don't even need a separate tea bag since they are full leaves.I recommend no tea bags for this tea so it can expand to the fullest and give you the best flavor.The individual tea bags can last all day with refills!

Chair: Catharine Nepomnyashchy (Ann Whitney Olin Professor)
Professor Emeritus and Senior Scholar: Richard F. Gustafson
Assistant Professor: Rebecca Stanton
Senior Associate: Vasipiy Arkanov, Mara Kashper
Other officers of the University offering courses in Slavic:
Professors: Boris Gasparov, Frank Miller, Cathy Popkin, Irina Reyfman, Alan Timberlake
Professor Emeritus and Senior Scholar: Robert L. Belknap

The primary mission of the Slavic Department at Barnard is to prepare students linguistically, culturally, and academically to participate in the global community, specifically by engaging with the Slavic-speaking world. To this end, the Department, in cooperation with its Columbia counterpart, offers instruction in five Slavic languages and literatures, with particular emphasis on Russian. The department insists upon a strong foundation in language study, because this best prepares students for future involvement with the countries of Eastern Europe and Eurasia, as well as for graduate study in the literature, anthropology, sociology, history, economics, or politics of the region, and for careers in government, business, journalism, or international law.
The department offers major tracks in Russian Language and Literature, Slavic and East European Literature and Culture, Russian Regional Studies, and Slavic and East European Regional Studies. A minor program in Russian Literature and Culture is also available. These programs are supported by an extensive array of courses designed to help the student obtain reasonable fluency in the spoken and written language and a reading ability adequate for interpreting texts of some difficulty in a variety of disciplines. While offering a range of courses designed to give the student a strong general background in Russian and Slavic literature, film, culture, and intellectual history, the department encourages students to supplement their knowledge by taking courses devoted to Russia, the former Soviet Union, and Eastern Europe offered in other disciplines as well. The department co-sponsors and facilitates student participation in region-related extra-curricular activities held at the Harriman Institute and the Columbia Slavic Department and also fosters student engagement with the rich cultural resources available in New York City.
In recognition of the National Standards for Foreign Language Learning published by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, the Slavic Department expects the following outcomes for students in each of its major tracks:
In addition, the Department expects the following outcomes of all majors:
Entering students should see Professor Frank Miller (708 Hamilton, 854-3941) for a placement examination: a sufficiently high grade will automatically fulfill the language requirement; other students will be placed accordingly. Native speakers of Russian or any Slavic language should consult with the department chair. The Department is a member of "Dobro Slovo" (The National Slavic Honor Society) and is pleased to induct its qualifying students into the society.

Crusaders Rally to Win Opener, IUPUI Rallies to Win Nightcap
Friday, April 11, 2003Valparaiso rallied from a 2-0 deficit to win the opener of a doubleheader 4-2 over IUPUI on Friday afternoon, but saw the Jaguars mount a comeback of their own in the nightcap to down the Crusaders 5-4 at the Valparaiso University Softball Field.
In the opener IUPUI posted runs in the top of the first as Megan Crist drove home two, one unearned with a double. The Crusaders responded in the bottom of the inning with one of their own as Stephanie Reinke (Parker, Colo./J.K. Mullen H.S.) tripled and scored on a fielder's choice.
Valpo took the lead with two in the fourth as Tana Barnes (Washington, Ill./Washington H.S.) singled home Tricia Speziale (Elmhurst, Ill./York H.S.) to tie the game. Barnes then scored on an infield single by Monica Rowan (Evergreen Park, Ill./Evergreen Park H.S.).
The Crusaders added an insurance run in the fifth on an RBI ground out by Speziale to plate Reinke.
The lead was all Amanda Gilbertson (Murrieta, Calif./West Albany H.S., Ore.) needed as she scattered just five hits in the complete game victory. The junior did not walk anyone and struck out two, needing just 70 pitches to improve to 4-7 on the season. Devan Craig took the loss for the Jaguars, allowing nine hits while striking out two. Reinke and Rowan both had two hits for the Brown and Gold in the opener.
In the nightcap, IUPUI jumped out in front in the first again, scoring three runs. Barbara Ware singled up the middle to score Brandy Moser-Salisbury with the first run. A throwing error then allowed Crist to score after she walked and Ware eventually scored on a Christie McFarland single.
Valpo came back with two runs in the third as Barnes tripled to left center to score Speziale and Laurie Grabiak (Saint Louis, Mo./Parkway North H.S.) with two outs.
The Crusaders tied the game in the fifth as Reinke scored on a wild pitch aand then took the lead on a Kelly Silvey (Indianapolis, Ind./Bishop Chatard H.S.) run scoring single in the sixth.
IUPUI (9-20, 1-5 Mid-Con) rallied for two unearned runs in the seventh though, to pull out the victory with two outs. Ware singled to right center to plate Jennifer Owens and Moser-Salisbury with the winning runs.
Stacey Lear picked up the win for the Jaguars in relief of Amy Odinsoff, allowing just one hit in the final 1.1 innings. Brittany Atteberry (Schererville, Ind./Lake Central H.S.) suffered the loss for Valpo (5-17, 1-4), despite allowing just two earned runs. Reinke again had two hits for the Brown and Gold, as did Speziale, while Moser-Salisbury had three hits for IUPUI. Ware and McFarland each added a pair of hits in the nightcap.
Valpo and IUPUI will conclude their weekend series on Saturday afternoon with a noon doubleheader at the Valparaiso University Softball Field.

Wisconsin-Milwaukee Edges Valpo 8-7 in 10 Innings
Sunday, February 27, 2005Clarksville, Tenn. - Wisconsin-Milwaukee scored an unearned run in the bottom of the 10th to defeat Valpo 8-7 in the final game of the Austin Peay Invitational. Kevin Kutansky went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and Brian Rzepka belted a solo home run for the Crusaders (0-3).
The Panthers scored the winning run on a fielding error with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th. After a walk, stolen base, another walk, sacrifice bunt and intentional walk loaded the bases, Valpo reliever Adam Knobel recorded a strikeout for the second out. However, an error was committed on a ball hit to first base, resulting in the game-winning run.
Wisconsin-Milwaukee (1-2) tied the game at 7-7 in the eighth on a two-run homer. In the top of the eighth, Valpo took a 7-5 lead on Rzepka's first roundtripper of the season over the left center field fence.
Valpo plated two runs in the seventh to take a 6-5 lead. Jon Rupno, who leads Valpo with a .444 batting average, led off the frame with a double and eventually scored on Mike Arensdorff's RBI groundout. Kutansky added an RBI double to give the Crusaders the lead.
A three-run third gave Valpo a 3-0 lead as Colin Reynolds and Matt Augustine delivered RBI singles. Reynolds scored the third run on the throw following Augustine's single which scored Kutansky.
The Panthers responded with a four-run third inning, highlighted by a two-run double and an RBI single.
Arensdorff doubled to lead off the fifth and scored on Kutansky's RBI single to tie the game at 4-4. UWM regained a 5-4 lead on a solo homer.
Elliott Gibbs started for Valpo, allowing five earned runs on five hits in 5 innings. The righthander struck out six and walked two. Knobel (0-1) suffered the loss, allowing two earned runs on three hits in 2 2/3 innings. He fanned three and issued three walks. Chris Riley and John Snelten each pitched a scoreless inning of relief for Valpo.
Four of Valpo's 12 hits were doubles by Arensdorff, Kutansky, John Giusti and Rupno. UWM finished with nine hits. Valpo committed two errors, while the Panthers committed one miscue.
Valpo travels to Bradenton, Fla. for six games, beginning with Wednesday's contest against Seton Hall at 3 p.m.

By Chris Vivlamore
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (MCT)
---- — BOSTON — No lead is safe when the Atlanta Hawks and Celtics play.
The Hawks erased a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit to force overtime Friday night. The Celtics overcame a four-point deficit in the extra period.
Former Hawk Jason Terry drained a 3-pointer with 35 seconds remaining to give the Celtics a 107-102 victory over the Hawks at the always raucous TD Garden. After a Hawks turnover, Terry sank two free throws to seal the victory.
The Hawks were expecting a playoff atmosphere and, boy, they got it.
A brief falter to start the final period led to the Hawks' double-digit deficit. After Devin Harris' basket to start the fourth quarter pulled the Hawks to within two points, 72-70, the Celtics went on an 8-0 run. The streak was added by four consecutive misses on Hawks possessions. The lead would grow to as many as 12 points.
However, the Hawks stormed back and tied the score, 92-92, on a 3-pointer by Kyle Korver with 1:31 remaining.
After trading baskets, the Celtics had the ball with 25 seconds remaining and held for a final shot, a miss by Kevin Garnett. The Hawks got the ball back with 2.2 seconds remaining, but a Josh Smith missed a hurried shot.
The Hawks led 98-94 in the extra period before the Celtics rallied with the help of 3-pointers by Jeff Green (which bounced high off the rim), Paul Pierce and Terry.
The Hawks (34-27) lost for the fourth time in five games.
Smith (32 points), Jeff Teague (26) and Al Horford (22) led the Hawks, who got only eight points from their bench.
The Celtics (34-27) won their ninth consecutive home game. They improved to 14-4 since losing All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo.
Pierce led the Celtics with 27 points. Terry added 19 points.
In the two previous meetings between the teams this season, the Hawks couldn't hold a 19-point lead in one loss and overcame a 27-point deficit in a double-overtime win.
The Hawks trailed by only four points, 72-68, going into the decisive final quarter. Smith scored 11 third-quarter points for the Hawks. Smith (20), Teague (18) and Horford (15) combined for 53 of the Hawks' 68 points (78 percent) through three quarters The Celtics took a 52-47 lead into intermission after a back-and-forth first half.
The Celtics used an 8-0 run in the second quarter to build a 10-point advantage. The Hawks answered with a 13-2 run and took a brief lead with 2:46 left in the half on an Anthony Tolliver 3-pointer. The Celtics took the halftime cushion by ending with a 9-3 run.
The first half featured 11 lead changes, nine in the first quarter, and two ties.
Pierce had 13 first-half points for the Celtics. Terry had 10 second-quarter points. Teague had 12 for the Hawks.
Korver had his streak of consecutive games with a 3-pointer extended to 54.
The Hawks played without Zaza Pachulia (right Achilles) and Ivan Johnson (personal reasons). Coach Larry Drew used many combinations in an attempt to match up with the Celtics.

Shaheen vs. sugar: The senator's good fight
Last Thursday, on Valentine's Day, Shaheen introduced a new version of her bill, written with Sens. Mark Kirk, R-Il, and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., to reduce federal price supports for U.S. sugar producers. In the past, Shaheen has tried to end the price supports entirely. This bill does not go that far, unfortunately, but it probably has a better chance of passing because of that.
The federal government has developed a crazy system of regulations and subsidies that artificially inflate the price of sugar sold in the United States. In the 30 years from 1982 to 2012, the average price of sugar in the USA was more than twice the world price (29.1 cents vs. 14.4 cents per pound), University of Michigan economist Mark Perry noted in an analysis for the American Enterprise institute last week.
Last year alone, the price supports cost U.S. consumers $3 billion.
The protections supposedly save jobs in the sugar industry. But a 2006 U.S. Commerce Department study concluded that "(f)or each one sugar growing and harvesting job saved through high U.S. sugar prices, nearly three confectionery manufacturing jobs are lost."
That is, to protect a handful of major sugar producers, the government hurts candy makers like Lindt in Stratham, as well as every U.S. consumer who buys anything containing sugar.
Shaheen has taken the lead in the Senate in fighting these subsidies.
Though she continues to support other wasteful subsidy programs, such as those for "green energy," she deserves credit for coming to the aid of Lindt and American consumers by going after the unjustifiable sugar price supports.

Wild Mushroom Risotto with Asparagus & Black Truffle Oil
Serve with St. Supery Dollarhide Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon
Risottos seem a bit complicated at first glance, but once you get the hang of it they are a great addition to any cooks repertoire. The basic preparation of the rice remains the same while allowing you to be creative in the choice of ingredients.
½ pound assorted wild mushrooms - sliced (morel, porcini, chanterelle
or whatever is available)
1 cup asparagus – sliced on the bias into 1/2" long pieces
¼ cup shallots finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic - minced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon zest - grated
1 ½ cup arborio rice
4 cups veal stock or low sodium beef broth - hot
½ cup cabernet sauvignon (St. Supery of course!)
½ cup Italian parsley – chopped
¾ cup parmesan cheese – freshly grated
1 tablespoon black truffle oil
salt and pepper
Place 2 tablespoons of the butter and the olive oil into a large sauté pan. Sauté the shallots, mushrooms and asparagus over medium heat until just cooked. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Set aside.
Bring the stock to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan and sauté the rice and garlic for about 5 minutes – stirring constantly. Add the wine and cook until absorbed. Add the hot stock, one cup at a time until each addition is absorbed. The rice should be fully cooked but not mushy. Add the asparagus/mushroom mixture, parmesan, lemon zest and parsley. Adjust the seasonings and divide between 4 warm bowls. Drizzle with black truffle oil and serve.
Serves 4 as a main course.

They are the stories we've known since we were children. Rapunzel. Hansel and Gretel. Cinderella. Sleeping Beauty. But the works originally collected by the Brothers Grimm in the early 1800s are not necessarily the versions we heard before bedtime. They're darker and often don't end very happily-but they're often far more interesting. This elegant edition of Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales includes all our cherished favourites-Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, Little Red Cap, and many more-in their original versions. With specially designed end papers, a genuine leather cover, and other enhancements, it's the perfect gift for anyone looking to build a complete home library. Many of these tales begin with the familiar refrain of "once upon a time"-but they end with something unexpected and fascinating!

LYNN, Mass. (AP) — A man has died after being shot by Lynn police in a struggle.
The Essex County District Attorney's office announced the man's death and identified him as 30-year-old Denis Reynoso of Lynn. The DA's office said it is investigating the shooting as is protocol.
Police Chief Kevin Coppinger said at a news conference earlier the man was shot late Thursday morning after three officers went to an apartment at the Kings Lynne complex on Newcastle Street for a report of disorderly conduct.
Coppinger said an officer shot the man when he allegedly grabbed another officer's gun.
He said three officers were treated at Union Hospital for minor injuries and released. They are on paid leave.
Neighbors said Reynoso was a National Guard member who lived at the complex with a woman and their two children.

Casa di Francesca
This vintage Murano glass vase was painstakingly handblown in Murano, Italy, using techniques that have been handed down for generations. Whether you display on its own or use it to hold flowers or fragranced oil, it's a remarkable piece of artistry and history.
Casa di Francesca is a home-fragrance house that reflects the legacy of a remarkable Renaissance woman. Francesca was one of the few women to tour Europe in the late 1600s. With a passion for European gardens, she pursued the vibrant colors and intoxicating aromas to their source, bringing home the flowers and herbs that had engaged her senses. This beautiful collection was inspired by the rich surroundings, emotions, and stories Francesca shared with her family upon returning from her Grand Tour.

Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
Georgia Everitt Blair Martin, 99, of Itasca died peacefully Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012 at Navarro Regional Hospital in Corsicana from complications following surgery, surrounded by her family.
She was born the oldest of four children on Sept. 1, 1913 to Francis (Frank) Sloan Blair and Maud Iva Harris Blair. Georgia attended public schools in Ponder and Pilot Point, Texas graduating in 1930. At the age of 19 she received her Bachelors Degree in public School music from North Texas State Teachers College after singing in the college choir and playing in the piano ensemble for three years. She was an accomplished pianist and at the age of 10 began playing for services at her church, revivals, weddings, funerals and other activities. She loved to make music and when she sat down on the bench, she was all business.
Mrs. Martin taught school for 31 1/2 years. Her first assignment was with Ponder Elementary School for one year and the next 30 1/2 years with Itasca Public Schools where she taught in the elementary grades. She was not just a teacher but an educator. She wanted every student to learn all that she could give them and if someone needed extra help, she was always there to help them. She also had a paddle in her desk drawer that you only needed to be introduced to once. Georgia was skilled in penmanship and did the writing on countless diplomas and other official documents for both the school and the city.
On Sept. 22, 1939 Georgia and Joseph (Joe) Charles Martin were married in his parents home in Itasca and were married for 58 years until his death in 1997. To that union two children were born, Katherine Blair Martin and William Joe Martin.
She was preceded in death by her parents; one sister, Mary Alice; two brothers, Frank Blair Jr. and Robert Hugh Blair; husband, Joe; and son-in-law, Edward Seely.
Georgia is survived by her daughter, Katherine Blair Martin Seely of Justin; son, William (Bill) Joe Martin and wife Sue of Corsicana; three grandchildren, Michael Lee Seely and wife Tammy of San Antonio, Scott Edward Seely and wife Tammie of Ardmore, Okla., and William Collin Martin and wife Z'Anna of Corsicana; five great-grandchildren, Courtney Nicole Seely and Cole Walker Seely of San Antonio, Trevor Scott Seely of Ardmore, Okla., Hadley Everitt Martin and Rylan Tripp Martin of Corsicana; numerous nieces and nephews, cousins and a host of friends.
Mother has been our rock. She was always there for us and taught us that there was only one way and that was through Christ. To say that she will be missed is sorely inadequate but we will find strength knowing she is with her Lord and Savior. Surely he said "Welcome Home good and faithful servant, welcome Home."
Funeral Service is at 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2, 2012 at the Central Baptist Church in Itasca. No visitation will be held.

Ryan is a handsome silver tabby, as you've probably already noticed! But there's a lot more to him than good looks:
-He's very affectionate and enjoys being petted.
-He thrives when he's the center of attention.
-He plays like a kitten!
Someone rescued Ryan from life in an abandoned building and brought him to Animal Friends. Although he gets along with the other cats here, he likes people so much that he would much rather be the only pet in your home.
That shouldn't be a problem, though, because he's more than enough kitty to make anyone happy! He loves to be petted and will even rub up against you to ask for more. He loves catnip which makes play time even better, but he also loves to cuddle on laps and be brushed. Sometimes, Ryan helps us in our offices and has been known to nod off when work gets a little dull for him.
If you want a cat who's lots of fun and likes attention, come meet Ryan!
Click here to watch Ryan's video. Then come down to Animal Friends to meet him!
Ryan has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If you can help, come to Animal Friends at 562 Camp Horne Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15237 or call 412.847.7002. You can also start your application online, so get started by clicking here!

He served in both the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and, as a radar technician, was part of the 13th Communications Construction Squadron. He was stationed in many places throughout the world, including Germany, Italy and Iceland. Toward the end of his Air Force career, he was stationed at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska and received his Honorable Discharge at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii, having attained the rank of Technical Sergeant.
Upon his return to New York State, Charlie worked for a time in a glove factory in Amsterdam.
Always a devoted veteran, he was a life member of the Clark F. Simmons American Legion Post No. 579 in Cooperstown.
Charlie is survived by his four children, Cheryl, Cindy, Charles and Randy; as well as his brother, Chester DeCarr and his wife, Jane Temple. He is further survived by nieces and nephews, including Chet DeCarr and Regina, Cheryl and Jim Foote, Cindy Paramore and family, Cathleen DeCarr and Christopher DeCarr.
He was predeceased by his companion, Lera A. Russell — another long-time Schuyler Lake resident — who died Feb. 1, 2010; and by his son, David DeCarr, who died in 2008.
Military Honors for TSgt. DeCarr will be offered at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2013, in the Schuyler Lake Cemetery. Military Honors will be accorded by the United States Air Force Base Honor Guard from the Stratton Air National Guard Base in Scotia and by members of the Clark F.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — While people will talk about the fantastic finish to Colorado State's 48-45 New Mexico Bowl victory over Washington State for a while, the hot topic early was a verbal altercation between Cougars' junior quarterback Connor Halliday and CSU defensive line coach Greg Lupfer.
In video that hit the internet fast, it appeared Lupfer had used off-color language toward Halliday, who after the game admitted as much and more, though he didn't elaborate.
"Coach grabbed me and said some profane things to me," Halliday said. "That's all I'll say about it."
Lupfer was not made available for comment after the game, but the school did issue a statement from him through the team's Twitter account in two posts.
"I am truly sorry for what I said. It was wrong and those words to not represent who I am and what I believe in. I apologize for the embarrassment I caused Colorado State University, this team & my family," they read.
It happened after the first of Halliday's six touchdown passes on the day. Colorado State coach Jim McElwain said after the game he didn't know exactly what had transpired between the two.
"I heard something about it, but honestly I don't know anything until I look at it," McElwain said. "We'll definitely handle it in a quick manner, whatever it is."
By the end of the game, Colorado State athletic director Jack Graham had seen the video, had already talked to Lupfer and planned to investigate further.
"I'm fully aware of what happened; I've seen footage of what happened," Graham said. "We're going to take a deep dive on this. It appears as if it was a very inappropriate event. We will take a deep and thorough dive around it. If it is what it appears to have been, that's not who we are, it's not who Colorado State University is. It's unacceptable behavior, and we'll deal with it appropriately."
Graham said if during their investigation they needed to call Washington State, he would. He also said they would not rush to judgment, adding they will take as much time as necessary to come to the right decision.
