Law School 101: Case Citations
What is a case citation?
Case citations are the unique citing reference given to each case referring to where the case is published in a book. Case citations are made up of three parts – volume, reporter designation and page number. For example; International Shoe v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310 (U.S. 1945).
- 326 is the volume of the official United States Supreme Court reporter
- U.S. is the designation for the official United States Supreme Court reporter
- 310 is the first page where the case is printed in the United States Supreme Court reporter
What's a reporter? The reporter is the book that cases are printed in. A case is said to be "published" when it appears in a reporter. If a case does not appear in a reporter and is only available through an electronic source like LexisNexis then it is said to be "unpublished." Cases that cannot be found in reporters or electronic sources are said to be "unreported."
Where can I find a citation?
The citations for a case are listed at the top of that case in LexisNexis, for example: 248 N.Y. 339, 162 N.E. 99, 1928 N.Y. LEXIS 1269, 59 A.L.R. 1253.
Citations are also found as references in cases, law review articles, and other secondary sources. For example, below is a quote from the case Petition of Kinsman Transit Co., 338 F.2d 708, 1964 U.S. App. LEXIS 4032 (2d Cir. N.Y. 1964) that references another case:
"The very statement of the case suggests the need for considering Palsgraf v. Long Island RR., 248 N.Y. 339, 162 N.E. 99, 59 A.L.R. 1253 (1928), and the closely related problem of liability for unforeseeable consequences."
Why are there multiple citations for the same case?
Cases are found in many different reporters and electronic sources and each has a unique citation associated with it. It is common practice to mention the "parallel citations" for a case when referencing it so the reader can find the case no matter which source they are using. For example, you may see a citation like this:
Wood v. Lucy, Lady Duff-Gordon, 222 N.Y. 88, 118 N.E. 214, 1917 N.Y. LEXIS 818 (N.Y. 1917)
- 22 N.Y. 88 is the official New York reporter citation.
- 18 N.E. 214 is the North Eastern regional reporter citation.
- 917 N.Y. LEXIS 818 is the online LexisNexis citation.
Why do I need to know the citation/parallel citations other than to find the case?
You need to know the primary citation and all parallel citations so that you can properly cite a case when you refer to it in your memos, briefs, etc. You cannot assume that your reader will use the same reporter as you to look up the case.
How do I find a case if I don't have a citation for it?
You can also find a case when you know the names of the Plaintiff(s) and/or the Defendant(s). For more on search techniques, see Legal Search: Get A Case.

in addition to this excellent video
this is excellent. In addition, I would say one thing we can all do, is to circulate this. See how we all have the ability to do something for Jews, for israel, and for the world.
See also, an article with a similar theme http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/49229/jewish/Israel-and-the-Battered-Woman.htm

Who's the real bully?
Many of us have this experience growing up. In elementary school, I also was picked on and whenever I defended myself, I too was portrayed as the bully and with antisocial problems. My parents really had to put up with alot of hassles from the Principal. It only ended when I completed elementary school and moved on to high school. Europe portrays Israel as the bully but neglects to mention that it was Hamas that rejected a cease fire and it's Hamas that continues to launch missiles into Israel, targeting civilians. Europe has returned to it's old antisemitic ways. Several non-Jewish Europeans have noticed this too. Old habits die hard. It's not about religion really, it's about prejudice and intolerance of anyone and anything different than themselves. A bigot is a bigot no matter how you slice it.

correlation between bullying and terrorism
Thank you for this video - right on the mark! For awhile I was thinking about this idea - how the world puts up with being bullied by terrorists and then wonders why their children get bullied in school. There is a lot to say about this but what I have heard is that if there is proper supervision (law enforcement) and the real bullies are severely punished, the problem goes away.

Highbury Safika Media has confirmed their entry into the sports management market and the signing of Springbok and Eastern Province Kings loose-forward Luke Watson as their first rugby client.
HSM, the largest independent publishing house in South Africa, also service the media requirements of the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee.
HSM CEO Kevin Ferguson said Watson's personality and involvement in the development of the Kings as a Super Rugby franchise were primary factors in the company wanting to be aligned with the player.
'We believe there is a market in South Africa to properly manage the portfolios of our sportspeople, in terms of service delivery to the player/athlete and by extension the investor and sponsor of such player/athlete.
'We are not an agency. We don't have agents. Our principles are based on managing the player, and this extends beyond just their sports portfolio,' said Ferguson.
'We were very specific in approaching Luke. He has committed to building something special in the Eastern Cape and South African rugby and we as a company with a very strong sports background also have a commitment to the region and the massive role the Kings can play in South Africa rugby.'
Watson, who turned down a three-year contract extension to play for and captain English club Bath, returned to South Africa this week.
'Playing for the Kings is a wonderful opportunity for me as a player and as a person. I played for Eastern Province as an 18 year-old. I was schooled at Grey PE. I believe in what can be achieved in the region and what value the region will be to the strength of South African rugby,' said Watson.
'As a player I also wanted to be aligned with a vibrant company whose people share my enthusiasm for Eastern Province and South African rugby and who also believe there is a different way to manage the careers of players. Most players simply have agents and HSM's service to a player far extends negotiating a contract. It is about relationships, based on integrity, and about maximizing the potential of the player off the field and ensuring the player can make a contribution to the greater South African society.
'There have been many people who questioned my sanity for giving up what I had at Bath to return to Port Elizabeth but those close to me know what the region means to me and my partnership with HSM will also allow me to make a contribution that goes beyond what I do on the field every weekend,' Watson added.
Watson arrives in Port Elizabeth at the weekend and will represent the Kings in the guise of the South African Kings in June's IRB-sanctioned Emerging Nations tournament to be hosted by Romania. The Kings replace the Emerging Springboks as South Africa's tournament representative.

TomTom drivers to reduce traffic congestion for all
Sep 30 2010
TomTom drivers to reduce traffic congestion for all
~ TomTom's traffic navigation system offers an immediate solution to help tackle traffic congestion ~
Amsterdam, 30 September 2010 – TomTom today publishes its Traffic Manifesto outlining how TomTom drivers hold the key to reducing traffic congestion for themselves and every driver around them. 10% of people driving with TomTom's HD Traffic™ system will create a real-time "collective effect", making roads flow more efficiently and reducing journey times for all.
With congestion affecting millions of people every day and having serious effects on drivers' health, businesses, society and the environment, TomTom has an immediate and cost-effective solution to help tackle traffic congestion.
"For many drivers, traffic congestion has become inevitable", says Harold Goddijn, TomTom's CEO. "We think it's time to challenge conventional thinking with a working solution to reduce traffic congestion right now on a very large scale."
TomTom has invested years in developing the very best traffic navigation system. Today TomTom can reduce journey times for individual drivers by up to 15%. TomTom drivers are connected online, so when a faster route becomes available, they are first to know. As a result, journey times can reduce for all drivers by up to 5% when 10% of the world's drivers use TomTom's HD Traffic navigation system in a portable navigation device, smartphone or via an in-dash solution.
TomTom's HD Traffic navigation system combines the world's most accurate traffic information with dynamic route guidance technology. HD Traffic information is the most accurate in the world. It covers more road kilometres on both secondary and main roads. It reports traffic jams with higher accuracy and also refreshes more frequently than any other service. Drivers can also use TomTom's HD Traffic information online to plan their journey around a time when their route is less busy and in doing so will further reduce congestion.
TomTom outlines its mission - to reduce traffic congestion for everyone - as part of its Traffic Manifesto. The Manifesto outlines four key action areas, designed to accelerate mass adoption of intelligent route guidance systems. TomTom will continue to work with individuals, businesses, organisations and governments to see the full scope of its plans become a reality. The four commitments outlined in the Manifesto are:
1. We will encourage and inspire people to play a role in reducing traffic congestion.
2. We will increase the availability of TomTom HD Traffic.
3. We will lead the continuous improvement of traffic and route guidance technology.
4. We will bring together key traffic stakeholders to share ideas and drive actions forward.
"We know that traffic congestion is not going to disappear completely, but we can do something significant to reduce it today," says Harold Goddijn, TomTom's CEO.
"We're embarking on this mission because we love driving and hate traffic, and know that millions of drivers around the world feel this way too. We genuinely believe that TomTom has a role to play in helping to reduce traffic congestion in countries all over the world."

A Java developer embarking on a Groovy adventure will always have Java in mind, and will progressively learn Groovy, one feature at a time, becoming more productive and writing more idiomatic Groovy code. This document's purpose is to guide such a developer along the way, teaching some common Groovy syntax style, new operators, and new features like closures, etc. This guide is not complete and only serves as a quick intro and a base for further guideline sections should you feel like contributing to the document and enhancing it.
No semicolons
When coming from a C / C++ / C# / Java background, we're so used to semicolons, that we put them everywhere. Even worse, Groovy supports 99% of Java's syntax, and sometimes, it's so easy to paste some Java code into your Groovy programs, that you end up with tons of semicolons everywhere. But... semicolons are optional in Groovy, you can omit them, and it's more idiomatic to remove them.
Return keyword optional
In Groovy, the last expression evaluated in the body of a method can be returned without necessiting the 'return' keyword. specially for short methods and for closures, it's nicer to omit it for brevity:
But sometimes, this doesn't look to good when you're using a variable, and see it visually twice on two rows:
In such case, either putting a newline before the last expression, or explicitely using 'return' may yield better readability.
I, for myself, sometimes use the return keyword, sometimes not, it's often a matter of taste. But often, inside of closure, we omit it more often than not, for example. So even if the keyword is optional, this is by no means mandatory to not use it if you think it halters the readability of your code.
A word of caution, however. When using methods which are defined with the 'def' keyword instead of a specific concrete type, you may be surprise to see the last expression being returned sometimes. So usually prefer using a specific return type like void or a type. In our example above, imagine we forgot to put m2 as last statement to be returned, the last expression would be m2.c = 3, which would return... 3, and not the map you expect.
Statements like if/else, try/catch can thus return a value as well, as there's a "last expression" evaluated in those statements:
Def and type
As we're talking about def and types, I often see developers using both 'def' and a type. But 'def' is redundant here. So make a choice, either use 'def' or a type.
So don't write:
When using def in Groovy, the actual type holder is Object (so you can assign any object to variables defined with def, and return any kind of object if a method is declared returning def).
When defining a method with untyped parameters, you can use 'def' but it's not needed, so we tend to omit them. So instead of:
But as we mention in the last section of the document, it's usually better to type your method parameters, so as to help with documenting your code, and also help IDEs for code-completion, or for leveraging the static type checking or static compilation capabilities of Groovy.
Another place where 'def' is redundant and should be avoided is when defining constructors:
Instead, just remove the 'def':
Public by default
By default, Groovy considers classes and methods 'public'. So you don't have to use the 'public' modifier everywhere something is public. Only if it's not public, you should put a visibility modifier.
So instead of:
Prefer the more concise:
You may wonder about the 'package-scope' visibility, and the fact Groovy allows one to omit 'public' means that this scope is not supported by default, but there's actually a special Groovy annotation which allows you to use that visibility:
Omitting parentheses
Groovy allows you to omit the parentheses for top-level expressions, like with the println command:
When a closure is the last parameter of a method call, like when using Groovy's 'each' iteration mechanism, you can put the closure outside the closing parens, and even omit the parentheses:
Always prefer the third form, which is more natural, as an empty pair of parentheses is just useless syntactical noise!
There are some cases where Groovy doesn't allow you to remove parentheses. As I said, top-level expressions can omit them, but for nested method calls or on the right-hand side of an assignment, you can't omit them there.
Classes as first-class citizens
The .class suffix is not needed in Groovy, a bit like in Java's instanceof.
For example:
Using GStrings we're going to cover below, and using first class citizens:
Getters and Setters
In Groovy, a getters and setters form what we call a "property", and offers a shortcut notation for accessing and setting such properties. So instead of the Java-way of calling getters / setters, you can use a field-like access notation:
When writing your beans in Groovy, often called POGOs (Plain Old Groovy Objects), you don't have to create the field and getter / setter yourself, but let the Groovy compiler do it for you.
So instead of:
You can simply write:
As you can see, a free standing 'field' without modifier visibility actually makes the Groovy compiler to generate a private field and a getter and setter for you.
When using such POGOs from Java, the getter and setter are indeed there, and can be used as usual, of course.
Although the compiler creates the usual getter/setter logic, if you wish to do anything additional or different in those getters/setters, you're free to still provide them, and the compiler will use your logic, instead of the default generated one.
Initializing beans with named parameters and the default constructor
With a bean like:
Instead of setting each setter in subsequent statements as follows:
You can use named parameters with the default constructor (first the constructor is called, then the setters are called in turn):
Using with() for repeated operations on the same bean
Named-parameters with the default constructor is interesting when creating new instances, but what if you are updating an instance that was given to you, do you have to repeat the 'server' prefix again and again? No, thanks to the with() method that Groovy adds on all objects of any kind:
Equals and ==
Java's == is actually Groovy's is() method, and Groovy's == is a clever equals()!
To compare the references of objects, instead of ==, you should use a.is(b).
But to do the usual equals() comparison, you should prefer Groovy's ==, as it also takes care of avoiding NullPointerException, independently of whether the left or right is null or not.
Instead of:
GStrings (interpolation, multiline)
We often use string and variable concatenation in Java, with many opening / closing of double quotes, plus signs, and \n characters for newlines. With interpolated strings (called GStrings), such strings look better and are less painful to type:
Inside the curly braces, you can put any kind of expression, not just variables. For simple variables, or variable.property, you can even drop the curly braces:
You can even lazily evaluate those expressions using a closure notation with ${-> resource }. When the GString will be coerced to a String, it'll evaluate the closure and get the toString() representation of the return value. Example:
When strings and their concatenated expression are long in Java:
You can use the \ continuation character (this is not a multiline string):
Or using multiline strings with triple quotes:
You can also strip the indentation appearing on the left side of the multiline strings by calling .stripIndent() on that string.
Also note the difference between single quotes and double quotes in Groovy: single quotes always create Java Strings, without interpolation of variables, whereas double quotes either create Java Strings or GStrings when interpolated variables are present.
For multiline strings, you can triple the quotes: ie. triple double quotes for GStrings and triple single quotes for mere Strings.
If you need to write regular expression patterns, you should use the "slashy" string notation:
The advantage of the "slashy" notation is that you don't need to double escape backslashes, making working with regex a bit simpler.
Last but not least, prefer using single quoted strings when you need string constants, and use double quoted strings when you are explicitly relying on string interpolation.
Native syntax for data structures
Groovy provides native syntax constructs for data structures like lists, maps, regex, or ranges of values. Make sure to leverage them in your Groovy programs.
Here are some examples of those native constructs:
The Groovy Development Kit
Continuing on the data structures, when you need to iterate over collections, Groovy provides various additional methods, decorating Java's core data structures, like each{}, find{}, findAll{}, every{}, collect{}, inject{}. These methods add a functional flavor to the programming language and help working with complex algorithms more easily. Lots of new methods are applied to various types, through decoration, thanks to the dynamic nature of the language. You can find lots of very useful methods on String, Files, Streams, Collections, and much more:
The power of switch
Groovy's switch is much more powerful than in C-ish languages which usually only accept primitives and assimilated. Groovy's switch accepts pretty much any kind of type.
And more generally, types with an isCase() method can also decide whether a value corresponds with a case
Import aliasing
In Java, when using two classes of the same name but from different packages, like java.util.List and java.awt.List, you can import one class, but have to use a fully-qualified name for the other.
Also sometimes, in your code, when using often a long class name, and the code becomes a bit more verbose.
To improve such situations, Groovy features import aliasing:
You can also import methods statically:
Groovy Truth
All objects can be 'coerced' to a boolean value: everything that's null, void or empty evaluates to false, and if not, evaluates to true.
So instead of writing if (name != null && name.length > 0) {}, you can just do if (name) {}. Same thing for collections, etc.
Thus, you can use some shorcuts in things like while(), if(), the ternary operator, the Elvis operator (see below), etc.
It's even possible to customize the Groovy Truth, by adding an boolean asBoolean() method to your classes!
Safe graph navigation
Groovy supports a variant of the . operator to safely navigate an object graph.
In Java, when you're interested in a node deep in the graph and need to check for null, you often end up writing complex if, or nested if statements like this:
With ?. safe dereference operator, you can simplify such code with:
Nulls are checked throughout the call chain and no NullPointerException will be thrown if any element is null, and the resulting value will be null if something's null.
To check your parameters, your return values, and more, you can use the 'assert' statement.
Contrary to Java's assert, asserts don't need to be activated to be working, so asserts are always checked.
You'll also notice the nice output that Groovy's "Power Assert" statement provides, with a graph view of the various values of each sub-expressions being asserted.
Elvis operator for default values
The Elvis operator is a special ternary operator shortcut which is handy to use for default values.
We often have to write code like:
Thanks to Groovy Truth, the null check can be simplified to just 'name'.
And to go even further, since you return 'name' anyway, instead of repeating name twice in this ternary expression, we can somehow remove what's in between the question mark and colon, by using the Elvis operator, so that the above becomes:
Catch any exception
If you don't really care of the exception which are thrown inside your try block, you can simply catch any of them and simply omit the type of the caught exception. So instead of catching the throwables like in:
Then catch anything ('any' or 'all', or whatever makes you think it's anything):
Optional typing advice
I'll finish on some words on when and how to use optional typing. Groovy lets you decide whether you use explicit strong typing, or when you use 'def'.
I've got a rather simple rule of thumb: whenever the code you're writing is going to be used by others as a public API, you should always favor the use of strong typing, it helps making the contract stronger, avoids possible passed arguments type mistakes, gives better documentation, and also helps the IDE with code completion. Whenever the code is for your use only, like private methods, or when the IDE can easily infer the type, then you're more free to decide when to type or not

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With the temperature in the 20s, it took a little while for the Miami University softball team's offense to get going, but the RedHawks scored nine runs over the final three innings to open the Music City Classic with a 9-1, six-inning victory over Detroit on Friday. Miami moves to 1-0 on the season, while the Titans fall to 0-1.
The game remained scoreless through the first three and a half innings. Senior pitcher Paige Myers got the start for the RedHawks, striking out eight in the first four innings while allowing only one hit.
In the bottom of the fourth, senior second baseman Kristy Arbour reached on an error. One batter later, sophomore first baseman Jenna Modic doubled to move Arbour to third. Senior designated player Allie Larrabee singled to bring Arbour home and score Miami's first run of the season.
Detroit tied the score with a leadoff home run in the top of the fifth. The 'Hawks quickly answered with three runs in the bottom of the frame. Junior shortstop Kylie McChesney led off with a single to left center. With one out, sophomore outfielder Taylor Shuey walked. A sacrifice bunt by Arbour moved the runners up to second and third with two outs. Sophomore third baseman Hailey Reed brought both McChesney and Shuey home with a double to center field. A single by Modic scored Reed and made it 4-1 after five innings.
The RedHawks finished the contest with five runs in the bottom of the sixth. Junior outfielder Bree Lipscomb reached second on a dropped fly ball. Junior catcher Shanyn McIntyre doubled to left field to bring her home. McIntyre stole third, while sophomore outfielder Tanya Busby hit an infield single. With one out, Shuey walked to load the bases. Arbour hit a ground ball and the Titans attempted to get McIntyre at home, but she was safe to make it 6-1. Reed followed with a double to left field that scored Shuey and Busby and made it 8-1. A sacrifice fly by Modic brought Arbour home and gave Miami the 9-1, run-rule win.
Reed finished the day 2-for-4 with four RBI and one run scored. Modic was 2-for-3 with two RBI and Larrabee was 2-for-3 with one RBI. Myers got the win, allowing only one earned run on two hits in five innings while striking out nine. Sophomore pitcher Amber Logemann relieved Myers in the sixth and pitched a scoreless frame for the save.
Weather permitting, Miami continues play at the Music City Classic with two games on Saturday. The RedHawks take on Coach Clarisa Crowell's alma mater Virginia Tech at 10 a.m. (EST)., and follow it up with a 3 p.m. (EST) contest against host Lipscomb.

Version 2 of cloud cybersecurity standards coming soon
Thursday - 4/3/2014, 4:35am EDT
As agencies face an impending deadline to implement the current set of cloud security standards, the next version already is under development.
The General Services Administration and the Defense and Homeland Security departments are kicking off Federal Risk Authorization and Management Program (FedRAMP) 2.0 by incorporating new cyber requirements from the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-53, Rev 4. NIST released the latest version of the privacy and computer security controls for federal information systems in April 2013.
"We will have that come out at some point in the next two or three months, probably sooner, but I like to under promise and over deliver," said Matt Goodrich, GSA's program manager for FedRAMP, at the Intel Security Innovation Summit in Washington Wednesday. "You'll see our new baseline come out, and we'll have our transition strategy come out in the next few weeks of what that will look like. But essentially with that baseline, we will take the same approach as we did when we launched FedRAMP, which was we put it out for public comments. We took it back with public comments to the JAB teams and looked at those public comments and looked where the baseline should be, and we had a new baseline. We are taking a lot of that into consideration, particularly a lot of those lessons learned over the last two years since the FedRAMP baseline was originally published."
Goodrich said the Joint Authorization Board (JAB) will consider what should be added and what shouldn't be in the baseline any longer.
Scott Renda, an Office of Management and Budget policy analyst, said one of the best attributes of FedRAMP is its flexibility. Renda, who is the portfolio manager for cloud computing at OMB, said if the government decides on new cyber requirements or if several agencies are adding similar security controls to their own version of FedRAMP, the governmentwide baseline isn't hard to update.
Military only ones to add to baseline
So far over the first two years, only DoD has added additional controls to the FedRAMP baseline.
Goodrich said the program management office hasn't heard from any other agencies which are following DoD's lead.
Scott Toulsey, the deputy director of the Cyber Security Division at the Science and Technology Directorate at DHS, said agencies should be aware of a few challenges before adding new controls.
"I know DHS is looking at some additional controls, but it's a little bit like the iceberg problem — you can think about additional controls to add above the water line, but we've all got lots of work executing the existing controls at a 99.9 percent level, not at an 80 percent level," he said. "We still get hit all too often with old, well-known problems that were not picked up for all sorts of typical reasons."
Goodrich said it's important to remind vendors and agencies that FedRAMP's goal was not to update or change the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), but just to offer some transparency and consistency to the process. He said agencies don't need to add new controls to FedRAMP unless they would have added more controls to FISMA.
DoD decided to add more controls to certain aspects of FedRAMP.
Teri Takai, the DoD chief information officer, clarified comments she made at a recent NIST conference about the path DoD is taking for cloud security.
"As it relates to data classifications, because that's actually the way we look at the need for what standards. For data classification levels 1 and 2, we are following the NIST standards," Takai said in an interview after her speech at the conference. "So when you come in to become qualified to be a DoD cloud provider through the Defense Information Systems Agency cloud broker, we actually are using the FedRAMP standards. We do not have a set of developed standards that are exclusively DoD."
For higher data classification levels that FedRAMP hasn't certified yet, DoD does have an additional set of standards on top of the governmentwide baseline, she said.
"As FedRAMP begins to look at classified information and begins to look at the standards, we actually are inputting to FedRAMP what our second level of standards are, and they're looking at incorporating that into the standard FedRAMP," Takai said. "The idea is over time we would not have any additional or separate set. We all would be using the FedRAMP standards for all levels of classification of information."

Miss Habanita to me is very sweet fruity, not citrusy, with moss and wood coming out as it dries. Goes on quite powerful but dries down in a matter of minutes to a pleasant degree. I don't believe in age appropriate scents but will say that it is not a simple scent. Fruity enough for a younger person but complex enough for a more sophisticated person. It's fruity sweet with an undertone of bitterness of wood/leather. It is lovely. I will wear for everyday because I enjoy it but it is not too precious.

This is a wonderful fragrance that I first learned of while visiting Provence. I had only a sample and held on to it for years. Its light and sexy, not too overwhelming but powerful.I am so happy that I can order it online now.
Written by Ava on February 01, 2007Read Review details ►
A very, very fruity (but not citrus y!) fragrance, smells like berry jam with vanilla added for extra warmth. Not overpowering, yet flirty and original enough for special occasions. Staying power is superb for an eau de toilette.

Early Second Half Spurt by North Greenville leads to 77-59 Loss for Women's Basketball
January 21, 2012
TIGERVILLE, S.C. - Host North Greenville opened the second half with a 25-9 run on their way to a 77-59 victory of Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas women's basketball action on Saturday afternoon. The win pushes the Crusaders to 13-4 overall, 8-1 in league play while the Lady Falcons, who put four in double-figures, evens to 8-8, 3-4.
Both teams traded leads often early in the first half until Pfeiffer grabbed their largest lead of the day with 6:29 remaining after a pair of free throws converted by Jodie Lemons. At that point, the Lady Falcons held a 26-19, seven-point advantage, before holding on to a three-point, 30-27, lead at the break.
A quick three by Lemons to start the second half put Pfeiffer back up six just 15 seconds in, but over the next 2:07, North Greenville would erase the deficit after a trey from Karly Stache. The Crusaders then started a 16-3 run to break open the matinee going up 14, 52-39 with 11:37 to play. North Greenville would hold the healthy lead from there getting up as much as 19 late in the period.
Lemons led the Lady Falcons with 14 points on the day and coming up a board shy of a double-double. North Greenville picked up a 24-point, 10-rebound day from Courtney Friddle. Pfeiffer helped out the hosts committing 19 turnovers in the loss.
The Lady Falcons will look to snap their three-game losing streak traveling to Coker on Tuesday night. Tip time is set for 5:30 p.m. with live stats and video being available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

In comparison to the rest of the country, the Texas economy is booming, but that doesn't change the state government's frugality...Last week the Texas Transportation Commission approved a rule change enabling the Texas Department of Transportation to accept private donations to pay for roadside upkeep. That work may also include maintenance at safety rest areas and litter control. The sponsorship program, expected to launch this spring, could provide up to $3.5 million annually in additional revenue. Why don't more states work this way? "We applaud TxDOT for thinking creatively and discovering new ways to improve our state and save Texans money," said Chairman Ted Houghton, Texas Transportation Commission...

Pantex volunteers recently made lunch for 350 honor roll students as part of the plant's ongoing efforts to support academic achievement in area youth, particularly in areas such as science and math. This is the second year in a row Pantex has cooked lunch for the A and A-B honor roll students from Sam Houston Middle School in Amarillo.
Thanks to Sandia technology, radioactive material from more than 43 million gallons of contaminated wastewater have been removed at Japan's damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power.
Sandia developed a technology that uses crystalline silico-titanate, or CST, as a molecular sieve that can separate highly volatile elements from radioactive wastewater.
The CSTs were developed in the early 1990s response to a need for materials to remove radioactive contaminants from wastewater. During that time, researchers found that a certain class of synthetic zeolite is more effective in capturing some radioactive elements, like cesium, than other technologies.

Crystalline silico-titanate, or CST, is an inorganic molecular sieve that can capture and separate highly volatile elements from radioactive wastewater.
Members of the B&W Pantex Explosives Technology Division celebrated a significant safety milestone Thursday with a cookout to commemorate working three million man hours without a lost time injury.
Managers from the division grilled up lunch for approximately 150 workers to mark the achievement, which is made even more significant by the nature of the work done by Explosives Technology employees.
According to David Cole, acting division manager, safety is the absolute priority for Pantex and it is something they talk about every day."Explosives operations are a high-consequence area," he said. "If you have a mistake, the consequences can be very grave. We have to make sure we never forget that and never become complacent."
Explosives Technology staff have worked diligently to make sure everyone works safely, said Monty Cates, manager of the Materials and Analytical Services Department. At daily standup meetings, safety is always the first topic, and every month, department safety meetings are held. Explosives Technology staff also participate in the many safety programs that operate plant wide.
B&W Pantex Acting Deputy General Manager Rod Johnson said the fact the Explosives Technology Division was able to achieve such a milestone is testament to the dedication of the staff. "Safety, security and quality are the basis of all of our activities at Pantex," he said.
The hard work of the members of the division led to Pantex being named the High Explosives Center of Excellence for High Explosives Manufacturing by the Department of Energy.
Some 345 tons of steel came tumbling down yesterday as a world record was set at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), when a 1,527-foot steel tower used in above-ground nuclear experiments in the 1960s was demolished.
The BREN (Bare Reactor Experiment -- Nevada) Tower was the tallest structure of its kind ever to be brought down. The tower was taller than the Empire State Building (1,454 feet, to the top of lightening rod) and taller than the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas (1,148 feet).
The tower was brought down due to safety concerns for personnel working nearby and risk to aircraft flying in the area. Contributing factors included lack of use, maintenance issues, and an uneconomical cost of more than $1 million that would have been required return the tower to a usable state.
DEMCO, Inc. of West Seneca, N.Y., partnered with Controlled Demolition, Inc. of Phoenix, Md., to bring down the tower. Because the tower was so tall, highly controlled demolition techniques were employed. Explosives were used to remove a small section of one leg of the tower at ground level and sever the tensioned guy wires and the anchor/stanchions on the opposite side.

John Mitsunaga from NNSA's Los Alamos Site Office (LASO) has been named as a New Mexico Federal Employee of the Year by the New Mexico Federal Executive Board. His award is listed in the Professional, Administrative and Technical category.
Mitsunaga, a physical security specialist for LASO, also has a federal role in the lab's Emergency Operations Center where he ensures the security and protection of sensitive assets on lab property.
Additional accomplishments for which Mitsunaga was recognized include oversight for technical security requirements for a sizable construction project that will provide state of the art security protection for the lab's plutonium facility. He was also instrumental in obtaining funding to modernize protective force training facilities necessary to enable them to protect special nuclear material. The funding included construction of indoor and outdoor shooting ranges, a tactical training facility and a fitness track.
NNSA has approved a special tooling system designed to improve the processing time of the B83. The tools were created by NNSA's Pantex Plant and announced last fall. See press release here.
The tooling system for the B83 program is now part of NNSA's Seamless Safety for the 21st Century (SS-21) process. The SS-21 process fully integrates the weapon system with the facility, tooling, operating procedures and personnel involved in the dismantlement program to form a safe, efficient and effective operating environment. The SS-21 process has been incorporated into all current Pantex weapon programs.
Approval for the special tooling system took a few months longer than originally expected because of the rigorous approval process. Final tools were delivered and the Hazard Analysis Report was published and approved by Pantex Site Office. In addition, the Nuclear Explosive Safety Study was conducted with no pre-start findings.
The goal of the project was to streamline the B83 disassembly and inspection and dismantlement processes. The new tooling process is designed to have multi–purpose functions, which includes the ability to support future B83 assembly operations.
The tooling system supports a safe, secure and effective strategic deterrent and is being used to support stockpile surveillance and dismantlement work. The new tooling system will be used to support the upcoming concurrent retrofit of the Gas Transfer System and Neutron Generators (ALT 353/753 respectively), scheduled for first production to occur in July 2014.
The B83 program team includes members from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Pantex Plant and Sandia National Laboratories.

The paper studies the impact of an eroding supplier base on the nuclear security enterprise's ability to adequately sustain the nuclear weapon stockpile, upon which the United States national security strategy and defense posture rely. The paper identifies current supplier base challenges, evaluates case studies from other industries, explores and examines potential solutions and offers recommendations.
The General Charles A. Horner Award is presented by the Air Force Counterproliferation Center each year to an Air War College student for the best study of an issue of most immediate and important utility to the US counterproliferation program.
Following his graduation from Air War College on May 28, 2012, Tran will return to Albuquerque, N.M., and be reassigned to NNSA's Office of Nuclear Weapon Stockpile.
Employees, family and friends of the Y-12 National Security Complex fanned out across the region recently to help nonprofit agencies in a variety of ways – painting, landscaping, building and repairing, stocking food and school supplies, and much more.
With more than 1,100 participants – including employees, their family members and other volunteers recruited by Y-12 employees – working some 60 projects, this year marks the largest turnout in the ten years of the program.
The work took place primarily over the weekend, with some projects scheduled on other dates, and all of the projects benefit local individuals and organizations due to the generosity and dedication of the volunteers.
Projects this year included making quilts for NHC Health Care, loading boxes of food at the Valley View Mobile Pantry and at Second Harvest, painting rooms at the Scarboro Learning Center, building a sidewalk at Lenoir City's North Middle School, and washing dogs for the Shelter Animals Rescue Group.
Pantex honored employees for their military service May 16 with a flag ceremony and luncheon. The annual Armed Forces Day Celebration included the unveiling of the Wall of Heroes, which depicts Pantexans actively serving or who have served in Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom and Noble Eagle.
There are approximately 900 veterans among the Pantex workforce. Recognized at the event was Pantex Senior Project Manager and U.S. Navy Seabee Capt. David Will, who is just three weeks back from his nine-month deployment in Afghanistan – his third tour of duty in six years.
"I believe we are blessed to have the jobs we have and to do the work we do here at Pantex – to serve our country. It's a blessing to serve," said Steve Erhart, NNSA Production Office Manager. "But blessing requires sacrifice….someone, somewhere always sacrifices something so that blessings can occur. It's selflessness instead of selfishness. Our nation's service men and women all sacrifice their freedom to ensure ours. Their willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom is at the heart of the blessings we all enjoy."
The Pantex Fire Department Honor Guard conducted the flag-raising ceremony, and the event featured speakers from both the Pantex Site Office and B&W Pantex, including guest speaker retired Navy Capt. and Supply Chain Management Division Manager Mike Tryon.

Five Potential Targets
Posted 18 February 2012 - 11:21 AM
By Bob Mand, Contributing Editor
With the 2012 NHL Trade Deadline just over a week away, the Boston Bruins are undoubtedly considering all of their options. Despite the elevated prices at this year's deadline, there are a few names the Bruins should consider when attempting to fill holes in their lineup and solidify their squad for a run at a second consecutive Stanley Cup.
The following are five players (two forwards and three defensemen) that the B's brass should look to in shoring up the Black and Gold. All play for teams with little or no chance at making the 2012 postseason and all are veterans headed to unrestricted free agency save one who has a year left on his current deal.
Bryan Allen, D, Carolina Hurricanes – The big (6'5) defenseman from the 'Canes is unrestricted following this season, which is just what the doctor ordered for the B's (who have five of six of their current defensemen locked-up for 2012-13 already). Allen isn't impressively skilled on the attack but he's a mobile and solidly physical defender in his own zone and would fit nicely in the B's blueline rotation. He won't put up a ton of points (he has never tallied more than 25 in a season) but is capable of chipping in the odd assist.
Allen isn't a great puck-mover or plus player with the man advantage, so the Bruin d-man many argue needs replacing (Joe Corvo) would likely remain in the line-up. At the worst, Allen would battle Andrew Ference and Adam McQuaid for time in the bottom defensive pairing and (if unsuccessful) still be a significant upgrade over current seventh defenseman Steven Kampfer in terms of experience and own-zone play as they head into the postseason.
Allen has a no-trade clause but he's indicated he would waive it in the right scenario … and going to the defending champs would likely qualify. Allen might be available for the Bruins' first round pick or a mid-round pick and a mid-level prospect.
Mark Streit, D, New York Islanders – It's not known whether the Islander's captain is available (it doesn't appear he's being shopped) – but if he is the Bruins should certainly be kicking the tires on a deal. Streit is the quintessential offensive defenseman: While prone to some turnovers in his own zone, he's an excellent passer is very capable of quarterbacking a powerplay and has a booming shot.
Streit currently logs over 23 minutes a night with the Islanders and has well over a half a point per game despite playing for the League's fourth-worst offense. Perhaps the days of him scoring 50 points a season are behind him but he's still putting up very respectable numbers.
By acquiring Streit, the Bruins would be able to rid themselves of Joe Corvo, who just hasn't worked out as hoped as the Bruins' designated attack-minded blueliner.
He has a year remaining on his current contract with a cap hit of $4.1 million dollars which is relatively inexpensive if not ideal. However, it would take quite a hefty offer for the Isles to part ways with their captain. The Bruins first-round pick and a top prospect would likely be the starting point of any negotiations.
Ales Hemsky, RW, Edmonton Oilers – If the Bruins are looking to 'buy low' on a guy with top-six chops, then it's hard to ignore Edmonton's oft-injured winger, Ales Hemsky. A point-per-game playmaking wizard when healthy, Hemsky's had an awful season with the Oil which might have pushed his price tag down to near the B's range.
With Rich Peverley's MCL sprain (out 4-6 weeks) and Nathan Horton's concussion (out indefinitely), they are running low on top-six right-wingers. Hemsky might only have four goals and twenty-four points this season but he's more than capable of extremely productive runs and with the B's offensive talent level, his production could skyrocket after donning the Spoked-B.
Other than a reasonably-high cost, some might wonder if a player known for his perimeter/finesse game could thrive in a system that stresses defense and physicality. Hemsky's veteran teammate Ryan Smyth would have been a better fit in this regard but was recently pulled off the trade block. Still, it's hard to visualize a better, cheaper option with upside than Hemsky with the exorbitant prices of the current marketplace.
Even though his price has come down since the end of last season, he'll still command some serious assets as Oilers' GM Steve Tambellini has done a good job getting top dollar for some underwhelming players in recent years (Dustin Penner, anyone?). Expect the cost to be a first-round pick and mid-level prospect at the least.
Gaustad would add valuable depth to a Cup contender (Icon SMI)
Paul Gaustad, C, Buffalo Sabres – Turning away from the finesse game, the B's should take a look at a grinder like Buffalo's Paul Gaustad. Gaustad is a big (another clocking in at 6'5) center who plays a sound defensive game and is an outstanding faceoff taker (with the eleventh-best winning percentage in the NHL). Gaustad wouldn't be brought in for his offensive chops (he has career-highs of twelve goals and thirty-six points) but he'd add to the Bruins' team toughness and won't look out of place on any line.
Buffalo might be reticent to trade a guy like Gaustad within the division, so the going rate might be an issue but it makes a lot of sense for a team like the Bruins with minimal experienced depth after their –top-twelve forwards to make a move for Gaustad who could help immediately and brings a lot to the table, even in a secondary or tertiary role.
While the Sabres might initially balk at trading Gaustad to their rivals, the B's might be able to pry him loose in exchange for a mid-level prospect and a mid-round pick.
Pavel Kubina, D, Tampa Bay Lightning – Rumors have swirled around the big (6'4, 258) Czech defenseman for several days now and he could easily be the next domino to fall in the prelude to the trade deadline frenzy. Kubina brings a solid stay-at-home presence and capable offensive performance despite being slow-footed and inconsistent.
Kubina is a fairly consistent scorer (despite less-than-ideal shot differential numbers) and averaged over 35 points per season from 2001-02 till 2010-11. However, he's only on pace for 16 points this season and has just one assist in his last fifteen games.
If the price is right he could be a nice depth addition to the B's blueline or even supplant Corvo. Other than the cost, Kubina holds a no-trade clause and has been asked by the Bolts to submit a list of teams he'd be willing to move to. Assuming the list includes the Bruins, this soon-to-be-UFA would make a solid addition to the B's for a mid-level prospect and mid-round pick.

The only difference is if there are silent injuries (ones that affect play but arent mentioned - looking at you Chara) affecting the team play on the defense then that's on the same level as forwards. Have no idea the type of either position, just one that has a high probability of handling the scrutiny of Bruins hockey fans.

PC will be, or has been, looking for exactly those personnel and teams that have what he wants may demand more than he's willing to give up. Or they might be desperate to give up someone that will give a return of hope for the future. Anything's possible.

Take the last game for instance. The Bruins had a 3 on 1 break, or maybe it was a 3 on 2 I don't remember, and instead of the winger passing to the guy in the middle, he passed all the way across the ice to the other winger. Well you know what happened there, he ran out of room and got pinched off.
So instead of a decent scoring chance, they got a broken play. They just need to make better decisions.

And scratch Kubina - he went to the the Flyers today.

Else Washington, Anaheim, and Tampa would be good target teams for trade discussions.
I'm not a fan of the up coming UFA market, not when their are so many options. Yet another option would be some high potential prospects moved to the "maybe some day" list from the teams that have been turning heads this season, mainly Florida. A battle hardened warrior may be a good trade for both clubs when your looking at the return of someone like Howden, Petrovic, or Bjugstad especially when the next man in line for the job will more than likely be Huberdeau.

Also, the current rumor is CBJ & TML GM's are in an "unscheduled" meeting; whatever that means.
Either way, the Bruins need scoring and better defense, so I'm sure none of the guys above will be in Black and Gold in about a week.....

Not as ugly as $2 hooker, but getting there.
(yeah, I went there...)
Maybe Carter Camper will bring some of his good habits to St Louis, to practice or a road game or two. Anything's possible.

Tomatina en Reno: Join the nation's largest food fight
Knowing no bounds, the Club Cal Neva will once again push the envelope with La Tomatina en Reno, with the hopes of starting the nation's largest ever food fight.
On Saturday, Aug. 29 at approximately 6 p.m., the Reno City Plaza at 10 North Virginia Street will be covered with people drenched in tomato juice as a crowd estimated to be between 3,000-5,000 people participate in the country's biggest tomato fight.
Admission in to the tomato fight is a minimum $10 donation with all profit from the event going to the American Cancer Society.
The event will begin at 1 p.m. with street vendors on Virginia Street between First and Second streets. Visitors will be able to enjoy plenty of food, beverage, and live street acts while they peruse for gifts and novelties. Food and merchandise vendors will also be on the plaza venue where live bands and other entertainment will be showcased.
The day will climax at 6 p.m. when roughly five tons of tomatoes will spill onto the plaza and thousands will scramble to pick up their ammunition for the biggest food fight the city of Reno, the state of the Nevada, and quite possibly the United States has ever seen.
For more information, visit Club CalNeva's event listing.

In the notes of the book End of Faith it says:
Moore claimed that our judgments of goodness cannot be reduced to other properties like happiness. He would have undoubtedly argued that I had committed the naturalistic fallacy in defining ethics in terms of human happiness.
Moore felt that his "open question argument" was decisive here: it would seem, for instance, that we can always coherently ask of any state of happiness, "Is this form of happiness itself good?" The fact that the question still makes sense suggests that happiness and goodness cannot be the same. I would argue, however, that we are really asking in such a case is "Is this form of happiness conducive to (or obstructive of) some higher happiness?" This question is also coherent, and keeps our notion of what is good linked to the experience of sentient beings.
What does everyone think about Sam's argument here?
Has he managed to define ethics in terms of human happiness without invoking the naturalistic fallacy?
Is Sam Harris effectively arguing that - Good is any state of happiness that is conducive to some higher happiness?
If this is the case then we could still apply the "open question argument" by saying "Is this form of higher happiness itself good?
Harris did not explain what he meant by higher happiness. Maybe a utilitarian would think that higher happiness is anything for the greater good of society.

The ICG/IOTWS is subsidiary body of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and was formed in response to the tragic tsunami on December 26th 2004, in which over 250,000 lives were lost around the Indian Ocean region. The ICG/IOTWS acts to coordinate tsunami warning and mitigation activities in countries around and within the Indian Ocean.
Following the Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 26th 2004, the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC-UNESCO) received a mandate from the international community to coordinate the establishment of the System. The structure of the group was determined during the course of several international and regional meetings, including the World Conference on Disaster Reduction (Kobe, Japan, 18 – 22 January 2005), and the Phuket Ministerial Meeting on Regional Cooperation on Tsunami Early Warning Arrangements (Phuket, Thailand, 28 and 29 January 2005).
The IOC Assembly, during its twenty-third Session (21-30 June 2005), formally established the ICG/IOTWS as a subsidiary body of the IOC through Resolution IOC-XXIII-12.
The ICG/IOTWS consists of 28 IOC Member States from around the Indian Ocean. All other Members of the IOC, as well as relevant concerned international and regional organisations, are welcome to participate as observers. The ICG meets regularly to establish and implement working plans in the Indian Ocean. The next meeting is scheduled for late 2014. Details will be available on this site shortly.

Ladies of Liberty: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation
Ladies of Liberty: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation (Hardcover)
In Founding Mothers, Cokie Roberts paid homage to the heroic women whose patriotism and sacrifice helped create a new nation. Now the number one New York Times bestselling author and renowned political commentator—praised in USA Today as a "custodian of time-honored values"—continues the story of early America's influential women with Ladies of Liberty. In her "delightfully intimate and confiding" style (Publishers Weekly), Roberts presents a colorful blend of biographical portraits and behind-the-scenes vignettes chronicling women's public roles and private responsibilities.
Recounted with the insight and humor of an expert storyteller and drawing on personal correspondence, private journals, and other primary sources—many of them previously unpublished—Roberts brings to life the extraordinary accomplishments of women who laid the groundwork for a better society. Almost every quotation here is written by a woman, to a woman, or about a woman. From first ladies to freethinkers, educators to explorers, this exceptional group includes Abigail Adams, Margaret Bayard Smith, Martha Jefferson, Dolley Madison, Elizabeth Monroe, Louisa Catherine Adams, Eliza Hamilton, Theodosia Burr, Rebecca Gratz, Louisa Livingston, Rosalie Calvert, Sacajawea, and others. In a much-needed addition to the shelves of Founding Father literature, Roberts sheds new light on the generation of heroines, reformers, and visionaries who helped shape our nation, giving these ladies of liberty the recognition they so greatly deserve.
