The Success of State Venture Funds
PSN on April 17, 2006 - 1:41pm
Hawaii is the latest state moving in that direction with a proposed Hawaii Innovations Fund which could grow to $200 million in government funds over four years to invest in Hawaii's renewable energy, life science and technology companies. If enacted, Hawaii will join thirty-six states that run venture capital funds, including New York's Small Business Technology Investment Fund and the Maryland Venture Fund.
The Maryland Venture Fund (MVF) has been one of the largest such funds, existing for ten years and investing over $48 million in more than 100 companies, usually at the startup phase when seed money is most crucial. It has nurtured Maryland-based biotech and information technology companies that have not only enriched the state's economy but returned profits back to the state as they've gone public�yielding an annual internal rate of return of 30 percent and allowing MVF to move towards self-funding with only minimal additional appropriations from the state legislature each year.
A variant approach has been in Pennsylvania, where the state has seeded an investment organization Bioadvance and its venture capital arm, BioAdvance Ventures, with $33.8 million in tobacco settlement money. This fund has been dedicated to encouraging the development of biotechnology in the southern Pennsylvania region -- with two sister organizations investing in other parts of the state. (See here for more). The overall goal is to dedicate $2 billion of the tobacco settlement to encourage the development of life-saving (and job-creating) biotechnology firms in the state.
In a number of states, these investment efforts have been assisted by state and local employee pension funds�their $2.7 trillion in assets making them what writer William Greider has called a potential "New Colossus" for expanding public investment in the economy:
- In Indiana, the public pension funds collaborated with state universities and various health-based companies to launch the Indiana Future Fund, a $73 million investment fund designed to benefit Indiana companies, especially in the life sciences and high technology arena. And this is just a small part of the state's public pension fund investments encouraging in-state economic growth.
- Washington State holds nearly $1.3 billion in Washington-based investments, using the money to leverage additional capital from other sources to invest in the state.
- Wisconsin's pension fund is also increasingly concentrating on support for state venture funds that can create jobs in that state.
- The largest scale pension investments, however, are in California, where the main public pension fund, CALPERS, has in-state investments totaling $20 billion or 11% of the fund's assets, a portion of which are dedicated directly to venture capital funds in the state.

Standing outside the visitors' locker room contemplating what he had just witnessed, Princeton head coach Ernie Gilliard put Thursday night's game into perfect perspective.
"They're still Woodrow Wilson," said the Tiger leader with a shake of his head. "Don't be deceived by their record or the little slip they had. They're still a great basketball team."
The Class AAA No. 14 Flying Eagles sent that message with a 67-51 win over Class AAA No. 9 Princeton at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center in a showdown between Region III, Section 2 foes. The Flying Eagles faced a must-win in terms of sectional seeding, after falling to Greenbrier East earlier this month, and they got it as guards Donte Nabors and Andrew Johnson combined for 45 points to lead Beckley to its fourth straight victory.
"We lost three straight, and we got it in our heads that we weren't losing anymore," said Nabors, who finished with 25 points, including 17 in the second half. "We refuse to lose."
The Flying Eagles (8-4) set the tone in the opening minutes. Nabors started the game with a 3-pointer from the corner on the first possession of the contest, sparking a 7-0 run. Princeton (11-4) clawed back, cutting the lead to 7-6, but the Tigers went cold from the perimeter, missing good looks that led to Woodrow runouts on the other end.
"What was painfully obvious was that our shooting was horrendous," said Gilliard. "I'm not sure what the numbers were, but in the first half, we were probably lucky to shoot 19 percent. We couldn't throw it in the ocean.
"What our kids need to learn to do, is when the perimeter game isn't going well, take the ball to the basket. We have a real nice inside presence, and what we have to do is start using our inside guys."
Beckley scored the final nine points of the opening frame and led 16-6 after eight minutes.
"Coach Brian Nabors told us before the game that we needed to jump out on them, because they hadn't had that happen to them," said Johnson, who finished with 20 points, including 13 in the second half. "I thought that was big for us, because they're a really good team."
Trailing 29-19 at halftime, as Woodrow failed to extend its lead as large as it probably could have, Princeton did finally turn to its inside game in the third quarter. Aaron Ferguson, the Tigers' big sophomore post player, scored eight of his team-high 15 points in the third frame as Princeton opened with a 4-0 run to cut the lead down to six at 29-23.
Johnson, though, ended the surge with a 3-pointer from the top of the key, and the Flying Eagles were able to keep the Tigers at arm's length, especially after Princeton point guard Ryan Meadows left the game with his fourth foul midway through the quarter. Meadows, who averages more than 20 points per game, finished with just 12.
Turning up the pressure, Woodrow kept Princeton from getting into its offense and led 46-35 after the third quarter.
Any chance of a Tiger comeback was ended when Nabors caught fire late, attacking the basket for 12 fourth-quarter points as the Woodrow lead swelled as large as 18 before the benches were cleared with a little more than 2 minutes to play.
"It meant a lot for us," said Johnson. "We had a stretch where we lost three straight, and (Princeton) beat us down there last year. We felt like we needed to get some revenge. They were No. (9) in the state, and we felt like we needed to make a statement to the state that we should be there too."
Head coach Ron Kidd, who watched his team create its own shots a little more often on offense and play Woodrow's typical pressure defense, said his team is closer to playing the type of basketball that is expected from a Beckley team.
"We still can do some things better, but I'm happy to get a win," he said. "There were still a lot of mistakes out there, and we have some work to do.
"Anytime you beat a sectional foe it's big, and we have a lot of respect for Princeton. I think (our players have) got the attitude that they can't lose, and they're kind of playing like that."
Woodrow's next game will be at cross-town rival Shady Spring on Monday, while Princeton will host Riverside tonight.

Too bad, I can't remember anyone skated to this, suggestions??? (YouTube). And if not, why? It's such an inviting theme, especially for Men ... !?
Too bad, I can't remember anyone skated to this, suggestions??? (YouTube). And if not, why? It's such an inviting theme, especially for Men ... !?
I've played the New World Symphony twice, and I absolutely love it. Every time I hear it on my iPod, I wonder why more skaters don't use it...
Beatrisa Liang skated to it in the 2009-2010 season -- she skated a strong program at Nationals, but it's been taken off Youtube. What's left is her rather awful performances from the Japan Open and Cup of China from that season..
Zagorska & Siudek skated to this. I am not sure of the year, but may be around 2001 or 2002.
It's one of my favorite pieces. Did not know that Tonya skated to it.
Is there anyone who skated to it well?
At the warm-up, Dorotha fell on a throw and crashed into the boards, she looked quite stirred, but they managed to get through the program later. Maybe it was at Euros though. Can't recall excactly...
And she said that it only started to hurt her properly once it was their turn to skate (because it was such a long wait after the warm-up). :/
Figures had almost been phased out by then, so higher scores for Tonja in the FS could have gotten her onto the team.
There was a young Chinese pair that skated to the third movement of NWS a few years ago. Forget their names, though.
Funny this topic came up. I was just at the Bohemian National Hall which houses a large bronze Dvorak plaque and other Dvorak artifacts.
I also love this piece, and really, all of Dvorak's work. His Slavonic dances are also so great, as is his Cello Concerto. Wish more people would consider him. There's more to life than Swan Lake!!

Here is Zagorska-Siudek's LP skated to the New world symphony (2000 worlds, as per the heading, but the screen says 1999 Euro)
Part of Bebe Liang's LP is skated to NWS:

News from 10-20-30 years ago
September 29, 1982- KRSA, Southeast Alaska's newest radio station signed on the air at noon Friday, September 24 with a signal that reaches to Petersburg, Kake, Wrangell, Gustavus, Juneau and Telegraph Creek. In at least one case, the signal reached all the way to Eagle, Alaska, about 700 miles away.
The official sign-on was followed by the national anthem, the Alaska State Flag song, a prayer of dedication and a song, "My Tribute," to bring the radio station on the air. Finally, the station aired a brief explanation about Friday being its first official broadcast day.
September 24, 1992- Manmade Hole has been a popular fishing and recreation area for years, but recent excavation should make it a hotter fishing spot than ever before.
The U.S. Forest Service, with support from the Rotary Club and Trout Unlimited, recently removed silt from the stream running into Manmade Hole so that coho salmon, cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden have access to the pond.
The conclusion of the work at the water hole was marked Wednesday afternoon by a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Some even talked about renaming the spot "Donahue Pond," after Cecil Donahue, who was the past state Department of Transportation representative responsible for turning the former quarry into Manmade Hole.
The recreation spot is 20 miles south of Petersburg along Mitkof Highway and was created when the highway was constructed about 30 years ago.
September 26, 2002- Derek Gibb has swum in more pools around the country than a cabana boy in the summertime, and now the 1999 PHS graduate is going to test international water temperatures. Gibb will be competing in the 2003 World University Game in Daegu, South Korea August 21-31.
Gibb earned his selection by an outstanding swimming performance at the USA National Championships in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. this past August.

---- — HAMILTON — The playground at Patton Park is gone. But there is no need to worry, a new one is on its way.
More than $240,000 has been raised by the Friends of Patton Park to make the project a reality. The group, made up of residents from Hamilton and Wenham, originally set a goal of $150,000.
"We were aware all along it would require more money for the level of quality we were hoping for," said Bill Boardman, co-chairman of the group. "We are really excited about it and really appreciative of the support we received on all levels throughout the community."
Construction of the playground is expected to be completed this spring.
Besides installing new play equipment — which will be located where the old equipment was — the plan calls for improved landscaping, lighting and drainage. The area will also include picnic tables and benches.
"It is going to be a really robust playground," Boardman said. "There are going to be play structures for all ages."
A pathway will also include bricks with donors' names inscribed. Some 350 bricks were sold at $100 each to raise money, Boardman said.
Boardman said the plans are still being finalized as the project goes out to bid, but they have a "very good idea" of what the playground will look like. All play equipment will be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, he said.
The old playground had broken swings, an unsafe slide, and lack of equipment for toddlers and elementary school-age kids, the group said.
The Department of Public Works removed the old playground earlier this month. One set of swings remains.
Boardman called the effort to improve the playground "a classic private-public partnership." The selectmen, town manager and recreation department in Hamilton have supported the project, he said.
"We really viewed this as an investment into the very heart of the community, which is Patton Park," he said. "Clearly, the kids are going to benefit from the new and improved playground the most. But we feel the entire community is going to benefit."
Boardman said the group is still collecting donations for further improvements. Those interested in donating should seek out the website at friendsofpattonpark.org.

TRAVERSE CITY — It was a little easier to find a hotel room at the Grand Traverse Resort in September.
With the National Hockey League lockout dragging on and on, its effects rippled farther and farther away from NHL cities.
The lockout — and its consequences — is our No. 1 local sports story of 2012.
Traverse City is known as Hockeytown North, but perhaps not this year.
In addition to the Traverse City North Stars moving to Sault Ste. Marie, the city lost the Detroit Red Wings training camp and the NHL Prospects Tournament — both of which drew not only the teams, but multitudes of fans and media that helped further Traverse City's status as a travel destination.
The yearly activity in TC kept hotel rooms occupied, restaurants more busy and seats and ice time filled at Centre ICE.
But not this fall.
Not only were area hockey fans deprived of NHL action, but it also cost the diehards that come to Red Wings training camp their annual up-close-and-personal experience with the professional athletes.
Centre ICE executive director Terry Marchand said between the Red Wings training camp, Prospects Tournament, the Wings' golf outing at GT Resort and the North Stars, Centre ICE lost about 15% of its annual revenue.
"That was a huge hit," Marchand said. "Our other user groups are going well. We've had some big youth (hockey) tournaments. The figure skating club is picking up some extra ice time. The high school teams are going well. We can't make it up, but we're putting dents in it."
Luckily, Marchand said he's received assurances the Red Wings will be back in Traverse City "for sure" once the NHL work stoppage is resolved.
The Red Wings did hold their development camp for minor-league players here this summer before the league's labor negotiations impasse dragged on long enough to force cancellation of large chunks of the season.
Centre ICE also lost the Northwest Warriors, a co-op high school hockey team that played its games there as well. An eight-school effort, the Warriors folded after three years of struggling to keep participation numbers to a level where they could be competitive with more established teams.
Another side effect of the NHL lockout was the move of the Traverse City Central-Traverse City West hockey game on Dec. 19.
Originally chosen as one of the various high school, Junior and other hockey games to be played outdoors at the Detroit Tigers' Comerica Park, that slate of games was wiped out by the lockout as well. The Central-West game was instead played at TC's Howe Arena, with the Trojans earning a 2-1 overtime win over their crosstown rival.

GOP lawmakers seek to reduce their own compensation
- By Kellie Lunney
- January 17, 2013
- Leave a comment
As the House prepares to take up a bill next week extending the federal pay freeze through the rest of 2013, some GOP lawmakers are looking to reduce their own compensation to curtail spending.
Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., reintroduced legislation on Tuesday that would tie lawmakers' salaries to the growth in government spending, reducing their pay in proportion to the percent increase in spending between the previous two fiscal years. For example, if government spending increases by 7 percent from one fiscal year to the next, then members' salaries would decrease by 7 percent the following calendar year.
If Congress passes the measure, then lawmakers' pay would be reduced in proportion to government spending beginning in January 2015.
Forbes said the legislation is designed to "insert personal accountability" of lawmakers into the budget process. "I believe in the simple truth that we should not spend what we do not have, and we must make it a priority to put our nation back on a path of fiscal prosperity," Forbes said in a statement. "As public servants, we have a lot of work to do to bring down our national debt and reduce deficit spending."
Forbes also introduced this bill, known as the Congressional Accountability Pay Act, in the 112th and 111th congresses.
In addition, Rep. Richard Nugent, R-Fla., reintroduced his bill that allows lawmakers, regardless of when they were elected to Congress, to opt out of receiving a pension. It also allows lawmakers to reject Thrift Savings Plan contributions. Dubbed the Congress is Not a Career Act, the legislation redefines member of Congress under the Federal Employees Retirement System so that lawmakers elected after the enactment of the 2004 Legislative Branch Appropriations Act can choose not to receive FERS benefits.

Water will bead up and roll off. Each Aquapel™ fabric has its own unique recipe, especially formulated for the construction and weave of that specific fabric. No cookie cutter approach here!

Comments about Cappel Bankrobber Pant:
The pants look great on. The fit makes them feel great and the dexterity is better than baggy stuff I've been used to wearing. They are fully taped, which is great. Not super waterproof at 5k/5k, but will hold up to anything that's not day-long rain or sitting in puddles. I think some extra DWR treatment to keep them repellent and they will perform as good as they fit and feel.
The size chart is pretty accurate. I wear size 30-32 and got a medium and they fit snug on the legs and just loose enough to wear them low and be able to move around. Really love the fit.

The Calendar Boys of BuffPost
You've heard of The Beltway Boys — how about the BuffPost Boys? Sam Stein and the guys over at HuffPost (dubbed "BuffPost" by MSNBC's Joe Scarborough this week) have given up shreds of dignity for charity purposes. Some of them had to know this wouldn't end well. This is what happens when you put yourself on a calendar. Teenage girls are warned about stuff like this.
Asked if he felt like a male model, Stein told FBCD, "It's for a really good cause. I'm glad I got to play a part in it." Even when pushed and prodded, he refused to spice up his quote. He also caught a lot of heat during an appearance on "Morning Joe" earlier in the week. The hosts made fun of his plaid shirt. Mika Brzezinski called him "Calendar Boy" and cracked on him, saying, "I'm so distracted after seeing that calendar that I can't take him seriously." And then after using the word "outlandish" to describe something, Scarborough interrupted, "Outlandish? Outlandish says the man who wears a plaid shirt." Brzezinksi soon grew serious and praised Stein for the good cause. It's RaiseForWomen Challenge, which assists female-focused charities.
The guys apparently took their "cues" from Chippendales and NYC firefighters. But will they get naked for this thing? Washington Bureau Chief Ryan Grim remarked, "I would say that, for better or for worse, the calendar speaks pretty well for itself."

Brookfield Central and Brookfield East posted comfortable wins on Friday night in the first round of the WIAA Division 2 football playoffs.
East (9-0), seeded No. 1 in its group, dismantled Milwaukee Bradley Tech 62-7. Zach Schober rushed for three touchdowns, all before halftime, as East took a 48-7 lead. Zach Damico tossed two touchdown passes to Brian Smith, and Smith also returned the second-half kickoff 95 yards for a score.
The Spartans will play Greendale in Level 2. The Panthers (5-4) surprised Wauwatosa West in a 41-16 rout in the first round, after the teams had played an overtime game in the regular season.
Central (5-4) took care of South Milwaukee, though there are conflicting scores reported. The WIAA website has the final as 39-8, while WisSports.net has 33-8. Central trailed 8-7 after the first quarter and led only 10-8 at half, according to WisSports.net, but pulled away in the second half.
Central gets second-seeded Whitefish Bay (8-1), which had no problems with Messwood 37-0 in the first game.
Brookfield Academy, an eighth seed in Division 5, was not as fortunate Friday. The Blue Knights (4-4) fell quickly behind top-seeded Brillon and lost 48-0.

Northumberland County officials are still quietly working on plans to reinvent 6,000 acres of coal wasteland as the Anthracite Adventure Outdoor Area.
The county is proposing to establish the adventure area on the site and open the property up to the public for recreational vehicles, hiking, camping, horseback riding and other outdoor uses. Northumberland County aims to begin developing a paved road and welcoming facility in May.
The purpose of the anthracite adventure movement is to establish governing rules for an area that is already popular with outdoor enthusiasts.
Once that is complete, the county will maintain ownership of the land but the area will be operated by a special anthracite adventure area board governed by appointees selected by the county commissioners.
Even before the county has begun to implement its ambitious $1.5 million master plan, the adventure area is attracting visitors from across the country. Last weekend, the first-ever Coal Mountain Jeep Jamboree was held at the site, attracting more than 200 riders with vehicles reinforced to handle the rigors off extreme off-roading
County planning director Pat Mack has characterized the area as lawless, a description that nettled Zerbe Township Police Chief Robert John, whose jurisdiction covers a portion of the adventure area.
John said in a recent letter to the editor that one of the hurdles facing an effort to manage the adventure area will be the built-in inertia against change.
Many of the enthusiasts who frequent the area have become comfortable with the lack of oversight, even if it results in an occasional fistfight or other risky behavior.
County officials can make their case by demonstrating to local off-roading enthusiasts how the reinvented adventure area will improve their experience. The master plan indicates that state funds will be used to add access roads and improve or add 242 miles of trails for motorized vehicles; add 15 miles of trails for horse-riding and more than 33 miles for bike riders and hikers.
If county leaders can successfully get the community buy-in to support the adventure area, it will create an asset for the community as both a destination for outdoor enthusiasts and for businesses that hope to profit by serving visitors.

NORMAN — Zumba and a Teen Film Club are being offered at the Noble Public Library, 204 N. 5th St.
"We're excited," library assistant Judy Houser said of the new Zumba class. "This is the first time we've been able to offer a fitness class here in Noble."
The six-week series will be hosted at 6:15 p.m. Registration is requested but not required. The teacher, Jenny Metheny, is a certified Zumba instructor.
"It's very high energy," Houser said. "We've got over 30 people signed up already and we're looking at adding another series."
But that's not all that's new at the library. The Teen Film Club will make movies, library assistant Mark Heisey said.
The group met the first week of September and Heisey showed movie clips that teens made in the past as well as scenes from famous movies like "Duck Soup" with its well rehearsed and choreographed slapstick aspect.
Teens decide what they want to film, and they do the scripting, acting and editing. With Halloween coming up, the teens decided to do a zombie movie, Heisey said.
For logistical reasons, Heisey said he'd like to limit the class to about a dozen participants. So far, about half a dozen teens are signed up, so there's still room for more.
The group meets from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Wednesdays. Registration and a signed parental consent form are required.
To view videos produced in the past, visit justsoyouknow.us/noble and click the YouTube button at the bottom right.
"I think it's a lot of fun. We love doing it and the kids really love it." Heisey said. "I think it's a really good confidence booster. It helps them overcome situations where they're not comfortable. Some of those fears of talking in public and just trying new experiences. They really enjoy the blooper reel."

In a deal with prosecutors, the longtime girlfriend of mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger pleaded guilty to helping him evade capture from police.
Bulger, if you remember, was captured in Santa Monica, Calif., last June. He is the most notorious mob boss in Boston and was wanted for his alleged role in 19 murders.
Repair crews are working this morning to restore power to thousands of homes and businesses in Boston's Back Bay district, "after two transformers caught fire Tuesday night, knocking out power" and sending think black smoke billowing over the area, our colleagues at WBUR report.
The theory is simple: if a window gets broken in a neighborhood, and residents ignore it, other windows will probably get busted, too. It's the start of a series of low-level community problems that become more intractable as the busted window leads to graffiti, burglaries and then violent crimes.
Terry Francona, who managed the Boston Red Sox for eight seasons and led the team to two World Series, says the teams' new ban on booze could backfire.
"I think it's a PR move," Francona told ESPN. "I think if a guy wants a beer, he can probably get one. You know, it's kind of the old rule ... If your coach in football says no hard liquor on the plane — I mean, you serve beer and wine — somebody's going to sneak liquor on the plane.
That old public service announcement is pretty well ingrained these days: "Friends don't let friends drive drunk." But who else should be responsible for stopping would-be drunken drivers? Bars and restaurants are already legally on the hook. Some in Boston say valet parking attendants should be, too.
City Councilor Rob Consalvo says he decided something needed to be done after a 23-year-old on a scooter was mowed down by a drunken driver in Boston. The driver later said he was "blackout drunk" and couldn't believe that a valet guy actually handed him his car keys.

Final: Tigers 60, Harvard 50. Despite holding as much as a 20-point second-half lead, it took a late-game rally for the University of Memphis to ward off Harvard, 60-50, Saturday afternoon at FedExForum.
Harvard, which couldn't buy a basket in the first half, put together an 11-0 run that spanned nearly four minutes to claw back into the game in the early parts of the second half.
Behind a methodical pace offensively -- the Crimson oftentimes allowed the shot clock to get down to four or five before attempting a shot -- Harvard was able to lull the Tigers to a nearly complete stop with just over seven minutes left in the game after a Steve Moundou-Missi dunk to take a 46-44 lead.
But like he's done so many times this season, D.J. Stephens galvanized his team and the crowd with a putback dunk to tie the game at 46, followed by an emphatic block that led to a Chris Crawford layup.
After the game, Memphis coach Josh Pastner called Stephens one of the "five greatest Tigers of all-time," which he qualified by adding that the distinction isn't based on talent, but energy.
Stephens finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, and four blocks.
"The kid, Stephens, is an incredible athlete," Harvard coach Tommy Amaker said. "His tip-dunk plays I thought were momentum plays and energy plays for their team."
Again, though, the Tigers found themselves having to dig in late against a team they once led by 20. Other than the loss to No. 1-ranked Louisville, it hasn't cost them yet, but if Pastner was alarmed, he didn't show it after the game.
He was more focused on the Crimson, which entered the game third in the country in 3-point shooting, going 4-of-16 from deep and the Tigers' 12 steals.
"Harvard is a good team," Pastner said. "Basketball is a game of runs. You're going to have ruts -- where you're just in a total skid and you can't score. When that happens, you've got to win games through the defensive end, and that's what we've done."
The guts of it: The Tigers improved to 14-3. ... It's the U of M's first eight-game winning streak under Pastner. ... Memphis plays Tulane next Tuesday at FedExForum.
That's all for today's digital coverage. Be sure to check tomorrow's Commercial Appeal for full coverage from Jason Smith and Geoff Calkins. Feel free, too, to scan our coverage from earlier in the day.
Halftime: Tigers 32, Harvard 16. Ever seen The Social Network? You know, the movie about Marc Zuckerburg as a Harvard student who invents that site called Facebook?
Well, in the first half, it seemed like Harvard was immersed in writing HTML code or somesuch. The Crimson shot 26 percent and managed a season-low 16 points by halftime. Much of that, of course, is a credit to the tenacity of the Tigers' defense and ball pressure, but Harvard also happens to look like a mess offensively in the first place.
Shaq Goodwin led the Tigers in the first half with eight points and five boards.
11:01 a.m.: Who's up for a little afternoon break from Conference USA action?
The University of Memphis takes on Harvard -- Harvard? -- in about a half-hour, and you're probably wondering why this game is on the schedule.
Well, if you're a devout follower of college basketball, you'd know that the Crimson was, at one point, a Top 25 team last season. And Harvard likely would've found itself ranked again this season, if not for its two co-captains, Brandyn Curry and Kyle Casey, being implicated in a cheating scandal a month before practices began.
Keep that in mind throughout today's game; though Harvard's struggled to a middling 9-5 record, this could've easily been a Top 50 RPI game for the Tigers.
A few things to watch:
- Harvard is the 3rd-best 3-point shooting team in the country. Although the Tigers have, overall, done a better job defending the perimeter in the last month, it's still been a bit of an Achilles heel for this team; they allowed Rice to shoot 44 percent from deep in their 77-51 win on Wednesday. Memphis coach Josh Pastner calls the three-pointer the "equalizer," and if Harvard keeps it close today, the deep ball will be the exact reason why.
- The Crimson has gotten stellar play from its freshman point guard Siyani Chambers this season. As my colleague Jason Smith referred to him, he's the "head of the Harvard snake." Chambers is averaging 13.3 points and 5.9 assists per game, so whoever's guarding him -- whether it's Joe Jackson or Geron Johnson, or even both -- will have a tough assignment on his hands today.

BEREA — A Berea woman was arrested Friday after police charged her with stealing more than $12,000 from the Silver Creek Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization.
Ashley Duerson, 31, was the organization's treasurer during the 2012-2013 academic year, according to a news release from the Berea Police Department.
The PTO elected a new treasurer for the current academic year, and that person discovered the missing funds, the BPD reported. The investigation began Aug. 22 after police were notified.
Duerson was in charge of five fundraising events last school year, and she was responsible for depositing all the funds. However, police say she took $12,150 and did not put the money in the PTO's account.
A warrant was issued for Duerson's arrest Friday, and she turned herself in at the Madison County Detention Center, according to the BPD.
Duerson spent a little over an hour in jail before she was released on a bond of 10 percent of $10,000.
She is charged with failure to make required disposition of property (more than $10,000). The Class C felony is punishable by five to 10 years in prison.
Madison County Schools spokesperson Erin Stewart said the school board has no oversight of external fundraising organizations such as individual schools' PTOs.
