FOXBOROUGH — He is a different man now: a different quarterback, a family man, a worldly man.
But in some ways, Tom Brady is the same kid he was when he first arrived in New England 13 years ago: still lanky, still self-assured, still driven by the pursuit of greatness, both for his team and himself.
On Friday afternoon, after the Patriots' final practice of the week and some massage work he gets "as often as possible" to keep his body in peak condition, Brady settled in to the chair in front of his locker to chat about the state of the Patriots, the offense, and fatherhood.
It has been repeated dozens of times since training camp, during which he celebrated his birthday: Brady is 35 now. But unlike some other seasons, he's feeling physically fantastic eight games in.
"I'm feeling really, really well," he said. "Over the course of the season, you always get these little nicks, but I've been great this year.
"It's very fortunate to be — this time of the year, really when we need it the most — to be feeling good, and I think the guys that take care of their body, as the season goes, you get better feeling-wise because you're doing all of the right things that you've learned over the course of a lot of years playing."
Though he is on pace to have the same kind of statistically strong season that he's had in recent years, a few folks have wondered whether Brady's play is slipping, that he perhaps is not as sharp as he once was. He is asked if he hears those whispers. He rubs his hand over his light brown hair, taking in the notion.
"Do I hear it? I guess when I get a question like that, I guess," he said. "I honestly, I don't think so. I don't . . . I hope not. I hope I've got a lot longer to play."
As the Patriots won Super Bowls in three of his first four years as the starter, Brady became a folk hero with gutsy play and comeback wins.
But he feels he is a better quarterback now than he was back then.
"Oh yeah. Oh yeah," he said, adding extra emphasis the second time. "In every way.
"You're always trying to make improvements and learn from your mistakes, and you make a lot of mistakes over the course of a long period of time.
"I can turn on film from early in my career and I'm like, 'Oh my God, I was terrible!'
"I know more about the scheme, I know more about the defenses, I know more about my players and techniques."
Not a finished product
Although his offensive coordinators have changed, from Charlie Weis to Josh McDaniels to Bill O'Brien and back to McDaniels, Brady has essentially played in the same system — Bill Belichick's system — for his entire career.
That is integral to his success. The plays run in practice now are ones that he has run sometimes hundreds of times before. He gestures to the blue binder in his stall. He does bring that playbook home, but at this point he has all of it committed to memory.
The Patriots' offense had some struggles over the first eight weeks of this season, and Brady keeps repeating that there is work to be done still, that this unit is far from a finished product.
"I'll try to leave it for other teams to figure out what we don't do well, but it's the consistency [that has been missing]," he said. "We play Arizona in the second game and it wasn't a very good game and we played really well for one quarter and we lose the game; of course we did.
"We play well in Seattle for most of the game, and we lose the game. In Baltimore, we play really well for most of the game, against a good team, on the road, big game, and we lose. So you just, you've got to learn from those and in some ways I think we have."
Weeding out plays that haven't worked and using the ones that have a bit more will help, as will having every player available, he said. It's easy to think Brady is talking about Aaron Hernandez, who should return Sunday against the Bills.
This is the first season in nearly 20 that Brady is without his passing mentor and friend, Tom Martinez, who died in February. He has a new personal coach, former major league pitcher Tom House, but Martinez is never far from Brady's thoughts.
On his wristband, he has written phrases, things like "head straight" and "drag back foot," simple things Martinez reminded him of over and over to perfect his mechanics.
He remains self-critical, always looking to improve, always hoping that the next game could be the best one.
"That's the great part about this game, is you always think, 'This is going to be the best week ever,' you know?" he said. "The reality is, it's not always going to be the best week ever, but you think it's going to be the best week ever, and you go into every game saying" — his voice lifts a bit — " 'This is the week. This is the week it's all going to come together.' Continued...

DDD ERES CD 06 [67.21] |
Peep Lassmann's range must be wide. This disc takes us from the proto-Beethovenian delicacy of Tobias's Menuett to the ultima thule of Koha's aleatoric Rondo which curves from elfin fragility to Leifs-like fury. Tiia Järg's notes tell us of Lassmann's dedication to Messiaen's Vingt Regards and Catalogue d'Oiseaux so we may think of him as another Sherlaw-Johnson, Peter Hill or Roger Woodward. At the other extreme he is at home in the 'Ravel and bitters' world of Pärt's Four Dances which lead us down fairytale paths and up peaks amid glittering rainbows and into darker realms. This music sounds as if it was written for brave children - an aural equivalent to the illustrations of Dulac and Kay Nielsen; not at all the frenetic or ritualistic Pärt we might expect. Rääts' two preludes are essentially romantic: Bridge or even early Cowell looking out towards Reich. |

12/10/2011 - A new study shows that it is more difficult to "move up" in American than other developed countries. In America, kids are more likely to stay at the bottom of the economic ladder if their parents had low socio-economic status. Weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz talks with Erin Currier, manager of the Economic Mobility Project of the Pew Charitable Trusts, about why the U.S. ranked worst for economic mobility among the countries in the study.Listen to the full program on NPR's Web site.

- The Prince Of Tennis
12-year-old tennis genius, Ryoma Echizen, returns to his home country, Japan, from America after winning Junior Championships. He attends Seishun Gakuen, which is famous for its tennis club. Being a freshman and being able to beat even the 2nd and 3rd years at tennis, Ryoma get in troubles with bullies. However, Ryoma's skill is rewarded when Team Captain Tezuka allows him to join the team and enter national tournaments.
Ryoma Echizen just joined the Seishun Academy's tennis team, which is known for being one of the most competitive teams in Japan. Its members are incredibly talented, gifted, and athletic. With rigorous and extremely intense practices, the upperclassmen of the team expect the very best from themselves and they expect even more from the new members of the team. While most of the freshmen are on pins and needles hoping they won't get cut from the team, Ryoma Echizen is confident, cool, and collected. Some might even say he's cocky, but at least he's got the skills to back up his attitude. With his virtually unreturnable "twist serve," Ryoma is sure to make the starting team.
Join Ryoma and the other first years, as they train hard, make friends, and try to find a place for themselves on the team. And meet Ryoma's cute but chronically shy classmate Sakuno Ryuzaki. She's got a big crush on Ryoma, but will he ever notice her? Ryoma Echizen is the Prince of Tennis. He may be ready for the Seishun Academy tennis team, but are THEY ready for HIM?

Ask the Doctor
Questions about kidney disease? Risk factors? Signs and symptoms? Are you concerned about yourself, a friend or family member? Ask Dr. Spry.
New York, NY (April 22, 2013) – The old car sitting in your driveway can breathe new life into the environment, your pocketbook and those suffering from kidney disease. This Earth Day, donate the car to Kidney Cars and become eligible for a tax deduction while helping the National Kidney Foundation get more mileage out of its education and prevention programs.
As millions do their part to ensure a more sustainable future, the National Kidney Foundation reminds Americans that donating a used vehicle is a simple way to recycle and reuse this Earth Day. All donated vehicles are either sold at auction or for parts.
A pioneering vehicle donation program that is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, Kidney Cars has accepted more than 650,000 used vehicles that have pumped a total of $600 million into life-saving programs over the last three decades. During the course of one year, Kidney Cars recycles 15,000 cars, 60,000 tires and 30,000,000 million pounds of steel.
The process is simple. Donations can be made by calling 1-800-488-CARS (2277) or visiting kidneycars.org. The National Kidney Foundation will pick up used cars, trucks, motorcycles or boats-- in almost any condition-- free of charge.
"Let your used vehicle join the thousands of others that have gone green for a good cause. A sputtering vehicle may actually revive the health of thousands suffering from kidney disease while helping save the planet at the same time," said Bruce Skyer, National Kidney Foundation CEO.
The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) is the leading organization in the U.S. dedicated to the awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease for hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals, millions of patients and their families and tens of millions of Americans at risk. For more information or to donate a vehicle visit www.kidneycars.org or call 1-800-488-CARS (2277).

PBM Resources
PBM Resources
Pharmacy Benefit Managers, often known simply as "PBMs," are largely unrecognized by most employees—and even by many employers and human resource managers. But they have a tremendous impact on U.S. health care decision-making because they influence more than 80 percent of drug coverage.
The information in this section is intended to summarize controversial PBM practices, provide a record of NCPA's efforts regarding PBMs as well as any bills that have been introduced or any laws that have been passed on a state level regarding their practices.
Don't let the insurance company middlemen inflate costs and reduce the quality of health care. Support Federal and state efforts to regulate PBMs, as well as halt mandatory mail order in its tracks. Model state legislation, a listing of state laws concerning PBMs, a listing of lawsuits involving them and other resources are available for your use.
A Brief History
In the 1970s, coverage for prescription drugs began to emerge as an add-on to health insurance policies. PBMs started out as paper claims adjudicators and by the 1980s began to offer those services online in real time.
From that humble beginning, PBMs have grown into multi-billion middlemen and direct competitors to community pharmacies, beholden to Wall Street and not the people on Main Street and the pharmacies that serve them.
They tell physicians what drugs they can prescribe (a list of approved drugs known as formularies).
They extract money from drug manufacturers for putting their drugs on the formulary (rebates).
They tell patients what pharmacies they can patronize (restricted networks). They tell pharmacies how many pills they can dispense (usually a 30-day supply, while the PBM-owned mail order arm can dispense 90-day supplies).
They also dictate how much pharmacies will be paid for the drugs they dispense regardless of their acquisition costs (take-it-or-leave-it contracts).
Take Action
- Contact a Member of CongressSend a letter to your Federal Representatives and Senators, asking them to take a specific action on legislation
- Contact a State LegislatorSend a letter to your state representatives, asking them to take a specific action on legislation
- Host a Pharmacy VisitIf you would like to host a pharmacy visit, you can contact the elected officials' district office and extend an invitation for the official to tour your pharmacy.
- Submit a Letter to the EditorMake your community know about your support for a particular legislator or specific legislation by publishing a "letter to the editor" in your local newspaper
- Congressional Pharmacy CaucusIndependent community pharmacies face enormous challenges in maintaining their economic viability because of unfair standards for PBM audits of pharmacies
- Contribute to the NCPA PACThe NCPA Political Action Committee, NCPAPAC, works to build a "community pharmacy majority" on Capitol Hill by supporting the re-election of our friends and allies in Congress. Thanks to dedicated support from our members, NCPAPAC has grown to be the largest pharmacy organization PAC, and is among the top 40 association PACs nationwide. Only dues-paid NCPA Members may contribute from personal funds only. NCPA Members can contribute to the NCPA PAC, which helps to financially support candidates for Federal office that support the views of community pharmacy.
- Contribute to Legislative/Legal Defense FundThis vital resource is the war chest for our government affairs efforts. The LDF supports grassroots advocacy, outreach, independent research and litigation. NCPA Members and non-members may contribute personal or corporate fundsContribute to the Legislative Defense Fund, which helps to support legal and legislative actions on behalf of community pharmacy. Members and non-members can contribute.

If you listen closely, you can hear the distinct sounds of a cowbell during Saturday night's NBA playoff game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets. Right behind the Thunder bench, in plain view of the cameras, sits a group of Seattle Sonics fans, including a few members of the Sonicsgate crew. And as a show of support for the Sacramento Kings, and the relocation saga the fans there are going through, Sonicsgate brought along a cowbell.
↵But not just any cowbell: A Sonicsgate-themed cowbell. Check out the picture, tweeted by Sonicsgate.
↵↵↵Also note the awesome signs, including the always fun "Seattle Drafted Durant." Wearing the old-school Sonics gear and repping Seattle, Sonicsgate is in Denver to keep the team alive, and in the minds of those watching at home. Judging by the seats they acquired and the visibility they have on the national broadcast, I'd say it's working.
↵But, of course, we could always use more cowbell.
↵Edit: Now with audio, thanks to SB Nation Bay Area and SLAM Online's Jon Santiago.

[JURIST] The Supreme Court of Nepal [official website] Friday ordered the Nepalese government to extend gay and transgendered people the same rights and privileges as other citizens. Gay and transgendered people face heavy discrimination in conservative Nepal [JURIST news archive], where so-called "unnatural sex" is illegal and is punishable by jail time. The ruling by Supreme Court judges Pawan Kumar Ojha and Bala Ram K.C. came in a response to a petition filed by Nepal's main gay rights group, the Blue Diamond Society (BDS) [advocacy website].Pant said that transgendered people will now be able to identify as "third sex," a category separate from male or female, when applying for jobs, education, or government identification certificates, but a spokesperson for the court said it is still up to the government on how to interpret the decision. It is not clear that the current laws banning homosexuality will be overturned or that same-sex marriages [JURIST news archive] will be recognized. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The US Central Intelligence agency (CIA) has requested that the Department of Justice [official websites] conduct an investigation into whether former CIA agent John Kiriakou illegally released classified information when he spoke to several news organizations last week [JURIST report] about CIA interrogations, officials said Thursday. In the interviews, Kiriakou confirmed the use of waterboarding [JURIST news archive] during the interrogations of two al Qaeda terrorist suspects, Abu Zubaydah [BBC profile] and Zayn al-Abidin Muhammed Hussein [Interpol profile]. While Kiriakou, who led Zubaydah's interrogation, expressed some disapproval of the tactic, he said its efficacy in helping to disrupt "a number of attacks, maybe dozens" outweighed its harshness. His public comments were the first by an CIA officer who was involved in handling high value al Qaeda targets. Kiriakou's lawyer said that the CIA's request is routine procedure for officers who leave the agency and that it is unlikely to result in criminal charges. Kiriakou's comments came amid controversy surrounding the CIA's destruction of videotapes [JURIST news archive] of the interrogation of Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Sashiri [GlobalSecurity backgrounder; JURIST news archive]. CIA Director Michael Hayden acknowledged [statement text] earlier this month that the CIA had videotaped the interrogation of two al Qaeda suspects in 2002, but said that the tapes had been destroyed in 2005 amid concerns that they could be leaked to the public and compromise the identities of the interrogators. In addition to the DOJ-CIA investigation, multiple congressional inquiries have been launched into the tapes' destruction. The Washington Post has more.
[JURIST] Six French nationals connected with the abortive effort by French charity Zoe's Ark [advocacy website, in French; BBC backgrounder] to airlift so-called "Darfur orphans" out of Chad [JURIST news archive] to Europe went on trial in Chad Friday, accused of kidnapping, fraud, and forgery. Zoe's Ark founder Eric Breteau said in a written statement to the BBC that Zoe's Ark workers believed the children to be orphans from Darfur and that any confusion was the fault of intermediaries who brought the children to him. Lawyers for the six requested that Chad drop the charges, arguing that the charity workers were trying to evacuate the children from a dangerous situation as allowed under the Geneva Convention.Last month, Chad released three Spanish air crew and a Belgian pilot [JURIST report] held in Chad in connection with the attempted airlift. Chadian authorities also freed seven Europeans [JURIST report] in early November, including three French journalists, after French President Nicolas Sarkozy personally intervened on their behalf. Three Chadians and one Sudanese national are also facing trial in Chad for complicity in kidnapping and fraud. AP has more.
[JURIST] Philippines President Gloria Arroyo [official website; BBC profile] lauded the Philippine military for working to improve human rights during a speech Friday, but human rights activists say that the armed forces continue to engage in extrajudicial killings. Human rights advocates say almost 900 people have been killed since Arroyo assumed power in 2001, while more than 180 have disappeared and are thought to have been killed. The military has denied any involvement in the killings, blaming the deaths on Communist rebels. Reuters has more.Last month, UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions Philip Alston released a report [DOC text; JURIST report] that said the Philippines armed forces have followed a "deliberate strategy" of killing left-wing activists. In July, Arroyo urged lawmakers [transcript; JURIST report] from both houses of Congress to pass legislation to curb extrajudicial killings and disappearances, but rights groups have said she has not fulfilled her promise to fully investigate the killings.
[JURIST] California will appeal the decision by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) [official website] to deny its request for a waiver [JURIST report] that would have allowed it and 16 other states following its lead to impose stricter greenhouse gas emissions standards on cars and light trucks, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced [press statement, text] Thursday. Also Thursday, Congressional Democrats announced that they would begin a probe into whether the EPA decision was politically motivated. In a letter [PDF text] sent Thursday to EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) [official website] questioned whether the agency ignored evidence in rejecting the California waiver request and asked that all documents relating to the request be turned over to the committee. AP has more.On Wednesday, Johnson told reporters that the White House prefers a single unified national standard to a state-by-state network of regulations, and pointed to the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 [HR 6 materials; WH fact sheet], signed into law Wednesday by President George W. Bush. This is the first time that the EPA has denied California a waiver since Congress established the state's right to seek Clean Air Act (CAA) waivers in 1967.
[JURIST] US District Judge Henry H. Kennedy on Friday considered the merits of opening a judicial inquiry into whether the CIA's destruction of videotapes showing the interrogation of terror suspects [JURIST news archive] violated a 2005 court order. During a hearing [JURIST report] to consider an emergency motion [PDF text; JURIST report] filed on behalf of several Guantanamo Bay detainees, government lawyers urged Kennedy to delay any inquiry until the Justice Department can complete its own investigation into the matter. Kennedy has been asked to look into the tapes' destruction in light of his June 2005 order in Abdah v. Bush where Kennedy directed the government to "preserve and maintain all evidence and information regarding the torture, mistreatment, and abuse of detainees now at the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba." David Remes argued on behalf of the detainees that the inquiry is necessary to determine whether other evidence was destroyed, but government representative Joseph Hunt argued that a judicial inquiry would hinder the DOJ's investigation. Hunt said that the joint DOJ-CIA preliminary investigation [DOJ letter; JURIST report] will include an examination of whether any court orders were violated. AP has more.Existence of the videotapes was verified in November after the CIA admitted it had mistakenly denied [JURIST report] that it had recorded interrogations in a court declaration during the trial of 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui. CIA Director Michael Hayden acknowledged [statement text] earlier this month that the CIA had videotaped the interrogation of two al Qaeda suspects in 2002, but said that the tapes had been destroyed in 2005 amid concerns that they could be leaked to the public and compromise the identities of the interrogators. In addition to the DOJ-CIA investigation, multiple congressional inquiries have been launched into the tapes' destruction.
[JURIST] California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger [official website] is considering a mass release of more than 20,000 nonviolent prisoners in hopes of staving off a projected $10 billion to $14 billion budget deficit over the next two fiscal years, the Sacramento Bee reported Friday.

The reported proposal would free 22,159 inmates and save the state $256 million in the fiscal year beginning July 1. AP has more. The Sacramento Bee has local coverage.In the past, Schwarzenegger has considered early release [JURIST report] as a way to alleviate the burden on California's overcrowded prison system [JURIST news archive]. In July, two federal district judges separately ordered the formation of a special three-judge panel [JURIST report] to supervise and reduce California's prison population after finding that overcrowding is preventing the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) [official website] from adequately providing mental health care. In May, Schwarzenegger signed off on a $7.7 billion program to construct facilities [JURIST report] to provide 53,000 new prison and jail beds over the next five years. The construction program and release plan failed to persuade the federal judges, who were not convinced that the measures would bring compliance with the Eighth Amendment guarantee of constitutionally adequate mental health care for individuals suffering from serious mental illnesses that are incarcerated by the CDCR.
[JURIST] Thailand's National Legislative Assembly passed a controversial security law Thursday, days before the country's general elections. The Internal Security Bill grants the head of the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) [Wikipedia backgrounder] power to bar public demonstrations, hold detainees without charge, and declare indefinite states of emergency. The original proposal was to appoint the army chief as head of the ISOC, but in response to criticism, the final version names the prime minister as head of ISOC and the army chief as second-in-command.The current government has maintained that the bill is only intended to preserve internal security in Thailand [JURIST news archive], though some have criticized [Nation report] the bill as an attempt by the interim military-backed government to hold onto its political clout even after elections. Interim Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont [BBC profile] last week refused to withdraw the proposal [JURIST report] despite protests that the parliament, handpicked by the military following the September 2006 bloodless coup [JURIST report] which ousted former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, had no authority to pass additional legislation because of the upcoming general elections.

[JURIST] The US House Select Committee on Intelligence on Thursday issued a subpoena [press release, PDF] for Jose Rodriguez, the former head of the CIA's clandestine branch who ordered the destruction of videotapes showing the interrogation of terror suspects [JURIST news archive]. The committee has also begun reviewing CIA records in its investigation into "the processes surrounding the tapes and Congress' requirement to be kept informed." According to a statement [PDF text] from committee Chairman Rep. Silvestre Reyes (D-TX):
the committee is working to secure testimony for January 16 from [acting CIA General Counsel] John Rizzo and Jose Rodriguez. We are in discussions with CIA officials regarding Mr. Rizzo's testimony. We have been told that Mr. Rodriguez would like to tell his story but his counsel has advised us that a subpoena would be necessary. We therefore have issued the subpoena for Mr. Rodriguez. We look forward to his testimony as well as the testimony of others who have information about this matter.
We have no desire to block any congressional investigation. To the contrary, as we explained in our letter, we fully appreciate the importance of the Committee's oversight efforts. The wisdom, propriety and appropriateness of the decision to destroy these tapes are worthy and compelling subjects of an oversight investigation.Furthermore, we have not advised the CIA not to cooperate with the Committee. We understand that the Committee has the full jurisdiction and prerogative to conduct this oversight over the CIA. We simply request that this oversight be conducted in a way and in a time frame that minimizes the negative implications for our preliminary inquiry - implications that could conceivably include: the disruption of our initial witness interviews, the delay and disruption of our document collection, and the tainting of any future criminal prosecutorial action because of Congressional grants of immunity to witnesses. These implications are of greatest concern at this very early stage of our preliminary inquiry - which is barely a week old and will lessen as we proceed in the inquiry.While we remain concerned about these potential implications for our preliminary inquiry, we are hopeful they can and will be avoided through ongoing consultation and coordination with the Committee.

[JURIST] An Australian judge issued an interim control order Friday, placing restrictions on former Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks [JURIST news archive] when he is released from an Australian prison on December 29. Under the terms of the control order, Hicks will not be allowed to leave the country, must report to police three times per week, and will be subject to a midnight to 6 AM curfew. A defense lawyer said that Hicks will comply with the control order [ABC Australia report], which will be reviewed in court on February 18 and will be in force for at least a year.Hicks' control order is the second issued under Australia's Anti-Terrorism Act (No.2) 2005) [ANS backgrounder], which according to a government summary allows the "overt close monitoring of terrorist suspects who pose a risk to the community."

Alumnus makes $5,000 gift to Summer Internship Scholarship for New Paltz students
NEW PALTZ – Jeffrey Korn, Esq., has made the initial gift to the 2013 Summer Internship Scholarship Fundraising Campaign for the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences (LA&S) at SUNY New Paltz.
Korn donated $5,000 to the fund, which is intended to make it possible for students to participate in low-paying or unpaid summer internships that are relevant to their areas of study.
Korn graduated from New Paltz in 1979, cum laude, with a degree in communication studies and political science. He went on to earn a juris doctorate from Stetson University and currently serves as chief legal officer of Crexendo, Inc. Korn, who lives in Austin, Texas, also serves as a member of the LA&S Advisory Board.
"This kind of financial support from generous and dedicated alumni is exactly what we need in order for our students to have the kind of substantive out-of-classroom educational opportunities that are so important to their successes in life," said New Paltz President Donald P. Christian. "We are deeply grateful to Mr. Korn for his commitment to SUNY New Paltz."
Applicants for the Summer Internship Scholarship must be majoring in a department or program within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. A committee of faculty and professional staff, chaired by the dean, selects the recipients based on GPA, the quality of the internship, the relevance of the internship to the student's academic major and educational goals, and the relevance of the internship to the student's future career. Scholarship awardees will be required to report in writing or as a public presentation about their internship experience. Awards of up to $1,000 per student will be made. The advisory board seeks to raise $15,000 this year.
"These experiences are enormously meaningful for our students," stated LA&S Dean James Schiffer. "They provide opportunities for students to learn in real-world settings with working professionals. Internships help students apply the knowledge they gain in the classroom to actual job situations."
Onika Jervis, chair of the LA&S Advisory Board and New Paltz alumna (class of 1993), concurred with Schiffer. "We are so grateful to Jeff Korn for the leadership he has shown in this initiative and for the dedication he has for LA&S and SUNY New Paltz," she said.
For his part, Korn is happy to be able to give back to the College.
"The time I spent at New Paltz prepared me extraordinarily well for the challenges and opportunities in life," Korn said. "I hope in some small way this pledge will inspire other alumni to join the effort to help today's students have as enriching an experience as I had."
Located in the heart of a dynamic college town, 90 minutes from metropolitan New York City, the State University of New York at New Paltz is a highly selective college of about 8,000 undergraduate and graduate students.
One of the most well-regarded public colleges in the nation, New Paltz delivers an extraordinary number of majors in Business, Liberal Arts, Sciences, Engineering, Fine and Performing Arts and Education.
New Paltz embraces its culture as a community where talented and independent minded people from around the world create close personal links with real scholars and artists who love to teach.

Why you should (and shouldn't) pay off your mortgage
The question comes to investment adviser Jim Miller in various guises, but it comes frequently and it boils down to this: Is money better used to pay down debts or to build an investment nest egg?
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
Most often the inquiry involves a home mortgage. The other day, Mr. Miller says, it involved a pickup truck.
A client had just bought a vehicle, and wondered if he should pay for it by selling some investments. Miller asked him first to check what rate of return those investments had achieved over the past few years. The exercise prompted the client to change gears: He took out a loan for the truck so that he could keep more money invested.
The equation doesn't always work out that way, Miller says. Sometimes "eliminate debt" wins over "invest."
But the question is central to American family finances today. Household debt has reached a historic high, while personal savings are running low for many.
Interest rates add another wrinkle to the pocketbook puzzle: A recent rise in rates means that investors may be able to earn higher interest on a certificate of deposit than they're paying on their mortgage. In such cases, plowing free cash into investments may be more lucrative than paying down the mortgage.
"My take on it is pure bottom line," says Miller, a registered investment adviser in Columbiana, Ohio. "If in fact the rate that they're paying on a loan ... is substantially less than the rate that they're earning on their investments through real life experience, I encourage them to extend the mortgage as long as they can."
The phrase "real life experience" is key.
Some people invest on their own, others with help from a broker or adviser. But either way, it's important to gauge whether your money has been earning 10 percent or 3 percent annually - after averaging out the good and bad years. The rate of return is crucial, but just one of several factors in deciding whether to invest money rather than use it to pay down a mortgage.
Other factors include your level of financial discipline, your willingness to take on additional risk, your taxes, and your time horizon. Indeed, the choice is probably less about spreadsheet calculations than about temperament. For some people, paying off debt brings great peace of mind, while investing brings worry.
Others advocate keeping the largest mortgage possible - even borrowing home equity to put more money into stocks during market downturns.
"If you're aggressive, I'll tell you to leverage," says Roland Manarin, president of Manarin Investment Counsel Ltd. in Omaha, Neb. "The key to success is discipline."
In essence, this wealth-building strategy applies the principle known as "arbitrage." It's what bankers or bond traders do when they borrow at one interest rate, and lend (invest) at a higher one. This adds risk in the form of investment price swings. But in another way it reduces risk, since less of your net worth is tied to the value of a single asset: your home.

Fewer U.S. homes entered the foreclosure process or were repossessed by lenders last month, the latest indication that the nation's foreclosure woes could be waning.
Nationally, home repossessions fell 20 percent in April from the previous month and were down 32 percent from a year earlier, foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac Inc. said Thursday.
From where he sits, Renaissance Realty's Jeff Jenkins is optimistic that 2013 will be a fruitful one for the local real estate industry.
Regulators and major lenders are still on the hot seat over flawed and sometimes abusive foreclosures that were carried out in recent years.
On Main Street, the ebbs and flows of foreclosure patterns – things like the public notice of a sale and the actual foreclosure transaction – still haven't returned to a predictable or natural rhythm.
Home sales activity picked up in the first quarter of this year across the Mid-South, and brokers believe the market recovery is gaining traction.

Governor Andrew Cuomo spent part of his morning touring the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan and getting briefed on what has been done to secure it as Sandy approaches.
Cuomo is crisscrossing the state today, making sure everyone is ready when Sandy strikes tonight.
The governor said that it was crucial that residents of low-lying Zone A residents evacuate their homes and that New Yorkers remain indoors during the storm.
"The storm surge is not going to be good, we know that for sure. It may seem fine now if you're outside now, it may look fine, but looks can be deceptive. There is no one who has any need to be on the streets today. They really don't," said Cuomo. "And if you look outside and say 'It's not so bad, I'm going out,' that's a mistake. We don't want them on the streets, we don't want them on the roads. We want emergency vehicles to be able to move around."
He toured the World Trade Center site with Steve Plate, the director of World Trade Construction. Employees of the Port Authority are working all day and night to prepare the site before the storm arrives.
"We've been preparing for days. The coordination is very good, all across the state. Agencies are working together very well. So we're really doing everything we can, I think, in terms of preparation. And we just have to see what Mother Nature has in store for us," said Cuomo. "We're focused on the storm surge itself, the wind will be high and there will be rain. But the storm surge is the one thing we really don't have a handle on. Look, whatever it is, we can handle it. We're New Yorkers, that's what we do."
Cuomo said he's been in constant contact with Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other state officials. "I worked in the Clinton administration as HUD secretary. One of the things I did was work on disasters and disaster reconstructions all over the country and across the globe. I've never seen a situation where all the officials are in lockstep like they are here," said the governor.
The Port Authority says the World Trade Center site has more than 80 pumps to deal with flooding from storm surge and overflowing sewers and prevent power outages and electrical fires. There are also another 250 pumps on-hand which can deal with problems.
Thirty of the pumps are permanent and "strategically located," according to the Port Authority, and another 50 temporary pumps are placed in construction areas.
There are also thousands of sandbags placed around the World Trade Center site and the National September 11th Memorial to further prevent flooding.
Construction material and equipment has been secured around the cranes at Towers 1 and 4 and the part of One World Trade Center above the 88th floor.
Plate said those involved in World Trade Center construction started planning for Sandy a week ago. The director of construction He plans to ride out the storm at the city alongside a number of his workers.
"We have a series of walls to keep the water from getting here. I almost describe it as an island, to make sure that no water gets near the site. And if anything gets in we pump it right out to protect both the people and the equipment," said Plate. "The second part is the wind, and dealing with that and making sure everything is tethered down, all the equipment, all the material wrapped, tied down, nailed down to the slabs to make sure they are maintained in place."
Plate said he is sure his workers will encounter unexpected obstacles, but his team is prepared to adjust their plan as they go.

COVINGTON , Ky. – Fired Covington Finance Director Robert Due appeared in court Wednesday afternoon for the first time since he attempted suicide last week after being accused of stealing $600,000 from the city.
A judge expressed concern for Due's mental health but allowed Due to stay at home on electronic monitoring rather than send him to jail or back to the hospital. Due will be living with his son but not his wife.
Due left the hospital Wednesday morning for the first time since Aug. 27.
"The judge made it very clear he was concerned about the defendant's own mental health and well being," said Rob Sanders, Kenton County commonwealth's attorney. "We don't want to have any more tragedies on our hands or anything to make this case worse than it already is."
Due waived his preliminary hearing, so there was no testimony Wednesday. The case goes to the grand jury.
Meanwhile, State Auditor Adam Edelen announced he will discuss the embezzlement case and the state audit of the Finance Department at a news conference at 1 p.m Thursday at city hall along with Sanders and Covington Mayor Sherry Carran.
There were new developments Tuesday in both the criminal and civil cases involving Due.
Search warrants filed with Kenton District Court indicated that Due gave no excuses for the alleged theft and said he was simply "living above his means."
Detectives seized two Dell computers and numerous documents from his office. One warrant detailed a financial account that had been frozen.
In the civil case, a judge eased the freeze on Due's wife's assets. Patterson was allowed to access an account where the paycheck from her job is deposited.
Another civil hearing is set for Oct. 2.
The city's lawsuit, filed Friday, alleges that Due deposited the money into his accounts and the accounts of his wife, their children and his late aunt, Virginia Molique, who died in 2012.
The suit also makes claims against auditing firms and banks that failed to detect his alleged scheme as well as companies that provided the city with theft-prevention software and employee-theft insurance.
Due, who was Covington's finance director since 1999, pleaded not guilty last week to theft, unlawful access to a computer, criminal possession of a forged instrument and official misconduct.
If convicted, he could face 20 years behind bars.
