About Caveman
Caveman breaks out (Created May 29, 2013)
Meet Caveman, a vibrant quintet from New York City whose self-released debut album was just a first taste of their take on indie pop. Your ears will be ringing, your mind will be dancing on the band's take on everything from experimental and post rock to the sounds of Africa.
Comprised of Matthew Iwanusa (lead vocals, guitar, drums), Jimmy "Cobra" Carbonetti (guitar), Stefan Marolachaki (drums, vocals), Sam Hopkins (synth, vocals) and Jeff Berrall (bass, vocals), Caveman came together in January 2010 and quickly became a reputable draw. Whether it was the harmonies or guitar lines, the affable personalities or the solid evidence that these guys were much more than a local draw, they quickly landed opening gigs for the likes of The War on Drugs and Built to Spill.
Caveman's full-length debut, "CoCo Beware," arrived in September 2011, with tribal drums keeping beat to what's been called the project's very 'Zen-like' appeal. Recorded in Brooklyn's Rumpus Room, the band's ultimate goal was to give the music a warm, saturated feeling. And the verdict? Critics hailed it as a "mission accomplished" for the music's dreamy, cinematic qualities.
The band followed that freshman project with a second, self-titled record in 2013. And though it was perhaps more subdued, with more reflective melodies, the album ultimately drew comparisons to the Shins, especially for the similarities of Shins vocalist James Mercer and Iwanusa.
Caveman is currently on tour, with dates scheduled everywhere from the Highdive in Champaign, Illinois (June 14) to the Majestic Theatre in Detroit, Michigan (June 26).

House bill would make it easier to fire senior execs at VA
Wednesday - 2/12/2014, 1:22pm EST
A new bill introduced this week by the chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee would make it easier for the VA secretary to fire or demote career executives at the department.
The VA Management Accountability Act would give VA Secretary Eric Shinseki broad authority to remove Senior Executives Service (SES) members "if the secretary determines the performance of the individual warrants such removal," according to the bill. In addition to outright removal, the bill would allow the VA secretary to bump SES members down to the General Schedule at any grade level the secretary deems appropriate according to the bill.
"This legislation would give VA leaders a tool to address a problem that continues to get worse by the day," Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), the bill's co-sponsor said in a statement. "VA's widespread and systemic lack of accountability is exacerbating all of its most pressing problems, including the department's stubborn disability benefits backlog and a mounting toll of at least 31 recent preventable veteran deaths at VA medical centers across the country."
Miller's office contends that "considerable amounts of red tape," including often lengthy appeal rights have stymied efforts to remove SES members from federal service.
In fact, the committee's website hosts a "VA Accountability Watch" page, which lists examples of VA executives purportedly collecting large bonuses despite poor performance. One VA executive collected a hefty bonus despite overseeing management failures that led to a deadly outbreak of Legionnaire's Disease at a Pittsburgh VA facility, according to the site.
"With all the problems VA hospitals and regional offices have recently had and new issues continually arising, we need to give the VA secretary the authority he needs to fix things," Miller said. "That's what my bill would do."
Senior exec group says bill would politicize federal workforce
The Senior Executives Association, which represents the approximately 7,100 career SES employees governmentwide, however, criticized Miller's legislation.
"Not only is this bill a solution in search of a problem, it is unfair and does not further the goal that we all share to ensure the highest quality care for our nation's veterans," SEA President Carol Bonosaro said in a statement.
Under current law, career SES employees can be removed from service for "misconduct, neglect of duty, malfeasance," or failing to accept a directed reassignment. Agencies must provide 30 days' notice of a proposed removal, and the employee has the right to reply and can appeal the decision to the Merit Systems Protection Board.
Miller's bill would likely create undue political influence in the federal workforce, SEA contends, by allowing the agency head to fire SES members with no due process rights.
"SEA is concerned that this bill would allow Senior Executives to be subjected to a trial by media that pressures political appointees to remove them," SEA's statement read. "With fear of retribution by an agency head, the career SES could well become a politicized corps that bends with the political winds, rather than serving the American people free from political influence."

Lunch with a Leader: Discovering the Leader Within You
LUNCH 11:30 a.m., LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Tom Linebarger '86 is the President and Chief Operating Officer of Cummins Inc., a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services engines and related technologies, including fuel systems, controls, air handling, filtration, emission solutions and electrical power generation systems.

After graduating from Stanford, he joined Cummins as a Program Manager and held numerous positions within the firm before being selected to his current role in August 2008.
Mr. Linebarger received a B.A. in economics from Claremont McKenna College and a B.S. in engineering from Stanford, and has served as a Board Member of Pactiv Corporation since 2005. During his presentation, Mr. Linebarger will discuss his previous experience and will also share some of his strategies for success.
The Obama Administration and China Policy: Some Recent Lessons for the New Administration
President Obama ran a successful campaign on the theme of change, but for addressing what is perhaps the greatest long-term strategic challenge facing our nation — managing our relations with a rising China — change is not what is needed. President George W. Bush's strategy toward China is an underappreciated success story. The Obama administration should build on that success rather than attempt to radically transform China policy.
The United States has used the combination of a strong U.S. regional presence and a series of creative diplomatic initiatives to encourage Beijing to seek increased influence through diplomatic and economic interactions, rather than coercion, and to use that increased influence in a manner that improves the prospects for security and economic prosperity in Asia and around the world. This effort has been successful, in part, because Washington handled deftly many of the traditional issues in the bilateral relationship, such as economic frictions or tensions between Taiwan and the Chinese mainland. If we take a historically informed perspective and view U.S.-China relations as a movie, instead of a snapshot, we can see the positive evolution in China's foreign relations that have been fostered, at least in part, by Washington's diplomatic approach to Beijing.
Of course, many problems remain. The talk will conclude with a review of some of the biggest problems that the new Administration will likely face in crafting a strategy toward China and East Asia.
Thomas J. Christensen is Professor of Politics and International Affairs and Director of the Princeton-Harvard China and the World Program at Princeton University. From 2006-2008 Professor Christensen served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs with responsibility for relations with China, Taiwan and Mongolia.
Professor Christensen received his B.A. from Haverford College, M.A. in International Relations from the University of Pennsylvania, and Ph.D. in Political Science from Columbia University.
Christensen has served on the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. He is a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies at CMC is honored to sponsor Thomas Christensen as a Freeman Foundation Visiting Professor of Asian Affairs.
Global Anti-Semitism
Adam Michnik is known as one of the leading dissidents in Communist-era Poland as well as the editor of one of Poland's largest and most influential newspapers, Gazeta Wyborcza.
Born in Warsaw in 1946, he was expelled in 1968 from Warsaw University for his role as a student activist. He became editor of two Warsaw underground journals, Krytyka and Zapis.
He became a leading adviser to the Solidarity movement and one of the most powerful voices for nonviolent resistance to communism in the 1980s. After martial law was declared in December 1981, Michnik was imprisoned by the communist government for three years but his Letters From Prison and Other Essays (1985) attest the persistence and power of his vision.
After the Roundtable agreements resulting in democratic elections in Poland, Mr. Michnik founded Gazeta Wyborcza ("Election Newspaper") which was the voice of the Solidarity movement until the 1989 elections. The paper continued as an independent daily after the elections.
Adam Michnik's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.

Building an Economic Foundation for Democracy
LUNCH 11:30 a.m. PANEL DISCUSSION 12:00 p.m.
Poverty is an expensive proposition. If you are poor, you have very few protections against the risks you face. It is likely that uncontrollable events such as hurricanes or droughts, sickness or death in the family, thefts or fires will set you back in your efforts to escape poverty. There is a ladder that will take you out of poverty, but it is not easy to climb. Microfinance tries to keep you from falling off the ladder while helping you to make small steps up and eventually out of poverty. Fonkoze is one the success stories of the microfinance movement.
Anne Hastings has been the Executive Director of Fonkoze – Haiti's largest microfinance institution – since May 1996. The institution now has 30 branches throughout rural Haiti, with over 120,000 clients, more than 45,000 of whom have microcredit loans. In July 2004, Fonkoze spun off its financial services component to form a commercial financial institution. Anne serves on the board of directors of that institution. She also continues to manage the foundation, which is now devoted to monitoring the impact of microfinance on the lives of clients, eliminating illiteracy among its clients, incubating new branches that reach ever poorer and more rural clients with microfinance services, and continually testing and developing innovative new products for the clients of both the commercial entity and the foundation. She is the recipient of the 2005 Pioneer in Microfinance Award of the Grameen Foundation USA. In 2006, she was honored in the First Annual Chiapas Project Recognition Dinner in Dallas, Texas.
Before coming to Haiti, Anne had fifteen years of experience in providing strategic management services to executives and in managing young organizations for high performance and steady growth. She was Senior Partner and Managing Director of Scanlon and Hastings, a management consulting company in Washington DC, from 1985 to 1996 and a Senior Analyst at Advanced Technology in Reston, Virginia from 1982 to 1985. Anne holds a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia and an Honorary Doctorate in Business Leadership from Duquesne University.

Healthy, Wealthy and Wise? The Relationship between Child Heath and Human Capital Development
Janet Currie trains her focus not on cash welfare, which accounts for a small and shrinking share of federal expenditures on poor families with children, but on the staples of today's American welfare system: Medicaid, Food Stamps, Head Start, WIC, and public housing. These programs, Currie maintains, form an effective, if largely invisible and haphazard safety net, and yet they are the very programs most vulnerable to political attack and misunderstanding.
Currie's ground breaking book The Invisible Safety Net: Protecting the Nation's Poor Children and Families (2006) highlights both the importance and the fragility of this safety net, arguing that, while not perfect, it is essential to fighting poverty. Currie writes how America's safety net is threatened by growing budget deficits and by an erroneous public belief that antipoverty programs for children do not work and are riddled with fraud. By unearthing new empirical data, Currie makes the case that social programs for families with children are actually remarkably effective.
Janet Currie is a professor of economics and Chair of the Department of Economics at Columbia University. For the past decade, her research has focused on evaluating programs aimed at poor children and families. Currie has served on several National Academy of Sciences panels including the Committee on Population, and on the Executive Committee of the American Economics Association. She has also served as a consultant for the National Health Interview Survey and the National Longitudinal Surveys. Currie is currently a Fellow for the Society of Labor Economists, a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, an affiliate of the University of Michigan's National Poverty Center, and an affiliate of IZA in Bonn. Professor Currie is a member on the advisory board of the National Children's Study and on the editorial board of the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Journal of Health Economics, the Journal of Labor Economics, and the Journal of Public Economics.
Janet Currie's Athenaeum appearance is sponsored by the Berger Institute for Work, Family, and Children.
U.S.-Japan Relations and the Obama Administration
LUNCH 11:30 a.m., LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
The new Obama administration faces the challenge of dealing with a troubled alliance with Japan. At a time when Japan faces rising Chinese power and ambition, a belligerent North Korea, and questions about American political and economic leadership, Japanese are on the verge of making fundamental changes in their politics that will make Japan more assertive and will complicate the alliance. Professor Pyle will address these issues and answer your questions.
Kenneth B. Pyle is the Henry M. Jackson Professor of History and Asian Studies at the University of Washington. He is Founding President of The National Bureau of Asian Research, an independent non-partisan research institute to promote an informed and effective American policy toward Asia.
Professor Pyle is author and editor of numerous books on modern Japan and its history. His most recent book is entitled Japan Rising: The Resurgence of Japanese Power and Purpose (2007). He took his B.A. from Harvard College and his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University. He has been a visiting faculty member at Stanford and at Yale.
From 1978 to 1988 Professor Pyle was Director of the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. He was founding editor of the Journal of Japanese Studies from 1974 to 1986.
From 1992 to 1995, he was chairman of the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission. He was co-chairman of the U.S.-Japan Conference on Cultural and Educational Interchange, the official bi-lateral organization established by President Kennedy in 1962 to oversee cultural and educational relations between the two countries.
From 1996 to 1999, he was chairman of the American Advisory Committee of the Japan Foundation and is an elected member of the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City.
In 1999 the Government of Japan decorated Professor Pyle with one of its highest imperial honors, the Order of the Rising Sun, for his contributions to scholarship and cultural exchange.
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies at CMC is honored to sponsor Kenneth Pyle as a Freeman Foundation Visiting Professor of Asian Affairs.
How an Uprising Became a Revolution: Fiction and Facts Surrounding the First Day of Russia's 1917 Revolution
March 2009 marks the 92nd anniversary of Russia's first democratic revolution which brought down Europe's last old regime and paved the way for the Communist dictatorship. Although the significance and global implications of this arguably most consequential event of the 20th century have long been recognized, the debates on the origins and character of the revolution show no signs of abating. Was it primarily a social or a political revolution? Were the moderate politicians of the Duma (parliament's lower house) merely followers or reluctant leaders of the popular uprising? What triggered their decision to take power, thereby legitimizing the Petrograd uprising and transforming it into a full-scale revolution? Semion Lyandres, associate professor of history at Notre Dame, will address these and other questions in his Athenaeum lecture.
Semion Lyandres is currently associate professor of history and Faculty Fellow of Kellogg and Nanovic Institutes at the University of Notre Dame. Lyandres received his Ph.D. in Russian history from Stanford University in 1992 and has previously taught at East Carolina University and Stanford. He is the founder and North American editor of the international series Modern and Contemporary Russian History: Monographs and Documents and co-editor of the Journal of Modern Russian History and Historiography. His publications include: The Bolshevik's German Gold Revisited: An Inquiry into the 1917 Accusations (1995); The Memoirs of Alexander Guchkov, President of the State Duma and a Minister of War in the Provisional Government (1993), with A. V. Smolin; A Chronicle of the Civil War in Siberia and Exile in China: The Diaries of Petr Vasil'evich Vologodskii, 1918-1925 (2002; second, expanded edition published in 2007), in 2 volumes (with Dietmar Wulff). He has held major fellowships from the German-American Academic Council Foundation, John M. Olin Foundation, Stanford's Hoover Institution, and the Earhart Foundation; and has published articles and essays in The Slavic Review, Kritika, The Soviet and Post-Soviet Review, Russian History, Berliner Jahrbuch für osteuropaische Geschichte, and Otechestvennaia istoriia. Lyandres' current research focuses on the intellectual origins of the revolutionary regime in 1917 and the politics of the February Revolution.

In a profession traditionally dominated by men, the Mariachi Divas are making big waves on the Los Angeles scene. Founded in 1999, this all-female sensation has swept the Athenaeum to its feet for many years — and it is CMC's good fortune to host them once again to celebrate the birthday of Cesar Chavez."
The Mariachi Divas are a truly multi-cultural ensemble, represented by women of Mexican, Cuban, Samoan, Argentinean, Colombian, Japanese, Puerto Rican, Swiss, and Anglo decent. "Music is a way of uniting our cultural backgrounds," says founder and director Cindy Shea. "Our foundation and roots are mariachi, but we have added extra elements to reflect our diversity." Their lively sounds incorporate jazz, cumbia, salsa, and meringue into traditional mariachi music.
The Divas have performed at venues throughout the United States and Mexico. In addition to many televised performances, they also appeared on film in the documentary, Viva El Mariachi (2005). The Divas have performed at the inaugurations for Los Angeles Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa and California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. In addition, the Divas performed in Sacramento in February of 2008 with Governor Schwarzenegger and the President of Mexico. Also in 2008, the Divas performed at a campaign rally for Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and at an event for the President of South Korea. In 2009, the group won a Grammy for Best Regional Mexican Album for their latest CD "Canciones de Amor.
11th ANNUAL MCKENNA LECTURE ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND ECONOMICS
International Economic Challenges of the Obama Administration
As much of the discussion in the American press has concentrated on the domestic effect and response to the ongoing recession, little has been mentioned about the international ramification of the crisis. Countries throughout Europe and the rest of the world have had to deal with the same financial issues the United States faces. Professor Maurice Obstfeld will discuss the current economic crisis and the international ramifications of this disaster. As Obama enters the first months of his presidency, what can he do internationally to remedy or, at least, improve the current situation?
Maurice Obstfeld is the Class of 1958 Professor of Economics and Director of the Center for International and Development Economic Research (CIDER). He joined Berkeley in 1989 as a professor, following appointments at Columbia (1979-1986) and the University of Pennsylvania (1986-1989). He was also a visiting professor at Harvard between 1989 and 1991. He received his Ph.D. from MIT in 1979. He has published in all the top journals including American Economic Review, Econometrica, Journal of International Economics, and the Journal of Monetary Economics. Obstfeld along with Paul Krugman authored eight editions of International Economics: Theory and Practice. In 2004 Obstfeld and Alan Taylor wrote Global Capital Markets: Integration, Crisis, and Growth.
Professor Obstfeld serves as honorary advisor to the Bank of Japan's Institute of Monetary and Economic Studies. Among Professor Obstfeld's honors are the Carroll Round Keynote Lecture, Woodward Lecture, and Bernhard Harms Prize and Lecture in 2004. Professor Obstfeld is a Fellow of the Econometric Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is active as a research Fellow of CEPR, a research associate at NBER, and an International Research Fellow at the Kiel Institute of World Economics.
The Athenaeum's presentation of the McKenna International Trade and Economics speaker is made possible by a grant from the Philip M. McKenna Foundation, which supports public policy research and economic education. The McKenna Foundation was incorporated in 1967 by Philip M. McKenna, late brother of CMC founding trustee Donald McKenna. Chairman of Kennametal, Inc., Philip McKenna was highly interested in economic and trade issues.

Hialeah, Florida
Hialeah is a city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States.
The city's name is most commonly attributed to Muskogee origin, "Haiyakpo" (prairie) and "hili" (pretty) combining in "Hialeah" to mean "pretty prairie". Alternatively, the word is of Seminole origin meaning "Upland Prairie". The city is located upon a large prairie between Biscayne Bay and the Everglades.
Hialeah is served by the Miami Metrorail at three stations: Okeechobee Station, Hialeah Station, and Tri-Rail Transfer Station. The Okeechobee and Hialeah stations serve primarily as park-and-ride commuter stations for Downtown Miami and Brickell commuters. The Tri-Rail Transfer Station allows easy connections to Tri-Rail to Miami International Airport and West Palm Beach.

text: When i like the Lakers, I like Shaq's Lakers. I think this is now Dwight's Lakers and I am starting to like them. They have the best center in his prime, Kobe who will still be Kobe, and one of the best point guards in this league. I mean how could you hate a team that has three of five starters average double-doubles (except when they play the hornets).

Take this raise and store it
Monday - 1/7/2013, 2:00am EST
For every federal worker doing cartwheels over that still very-iffy March pay raise of 0.5 percent, there are probably plenty who are less than enthusiastic about what, for many, will work out to be less than a buck a day.
By now, most of the civilized world knows that America's trip over the fiscal cliff has been postponed for a couple of months. Since the last Congress (again) failed to approve agency budgets, most federal agencies continue to operate under a stopgap continuing resolution that expires in late March. Given their track record, the current CR will probably be replaced by yet another temporary measure.
One of the pending issues is federal pay. The House has voted to freeze it for another year (through 2013). The Democratic-controlled Senate will probably reject the idea of an extended freeze. Meantime, President Barack Obama, who proposed the 2011-2012 pay freeze, has authorized the half percentage point raise in March. That may or may not be blocked by the GOP-dominated House.
Although inflation in 2012 was low (the COLA for retired feds and people getting Social Security benefits) this month was 1.7 percent, important items — like health premiums — are up.
So what are people saying about the prospect of a freeze or even a tiny raise?
- "Mike, I never work more than 9 hours a day (I'm on AWS) and have been in one Saturday in 31 years of service. I flex at least twice a week and generally am in Bank. Ct once a week. Recently, I have been trying to stay out of the office as much as possible. Living in central NJ is quite expensive, especially with a child at a private college. These pay freezes brought to us by our president — for whom most government employees voted — are not easy to take. Property taxes continue upward, commuting has gone up and although inflation is not a real problem, yet, things don't usually go down in price.
"I have become very cynical about the government and not just Congress — they are so incompetent. They should be reviewed like we are and get paid only if they are fully successful — that's the basic standard we work off of. Take away the free mailing, make them pay for spaces at National Airport, don't subsidize their lunches (nobody helps with mine) and let's cut their staffs by at least half. If they want to cut, Congress is a great place to start. BTW, why do they get paid as much as they do? Also, all laws passed by Congress should apply to Congress — I never got that one. Anyway, I'll check in every so often, so keep the news coming. BTW, I know you've been doing your column since I started, how long are you going to go? I know, tough job, but someone has to do it." — Steven
- "Mike, please don't give me a pay raise. Seriously, I don't want it nor do most of the folks I work with here. Why? Because I would rather be able to say I haven't had a pay raise for three years. I don't want the Congress-Critters to be able to say they were magnanimous and gave us a raise this year. If they give us the 0.5 percent halfway through 2013, then they will have the argument that we got a raise this year so we will forego one in 2014. I can hear them now.
What does 0.5 percent mean to me? I am now at the high end of the GS scale. To enact 0.5 percent halfway through the year is effectively a 0.25 percent raise for 2013. This means I will receive a whopping ... $325. Or about $200 after taxes. Seriously. They can keep their raise." Steve
- "Mike, in 1980 I was a very young, first-time delegate to the American Federation of Government Employees national convention in Honolulu. I know you were there too as a working reporter. You recall that when delegates were told President Jimmy Carter was proposing a 9.1 percent pay raise, they booed. Big time and for a long time. They were jeering because inflation was in the double digits (and going higher), and people couldn't buy houses. So much for the good old days. Now we have low inflation and the prospect of a 0.5 percent pay raise, if we are lucky! Again, I say boo." Rick

Instead, there was more misery in the Belk Bowl.
Instead of going ahead in the last two minutes, the Blue Devils fumbled away a scoring chance at the
The result was a head-scratching 48-34 victory for
"It was crazy," Duke cornerback Ross Cockrell said. "They made more plays than we did. Football is a game of highs and lows and we're at one of our lowest."
"We're just trying to get in field-goal range and it opened up," Kay said.
After the go-ahead pass play, linebacker Nick Temple tacked on a clinching touchdown with a 55-yard interception return of a Sean Renfree pass with 14 seconds left.
"We had a few bad breaks," Duke receiver Conner
Duke was in position to break a tie until running back Josh Snead fumbled at the
"Somebody's hand got in there and it popped out," Snead said.
Duke (6-7), playing in its first bowl game since 1994, has gone more than a half-century without a postseason victory.
"We made enough plays to win the game," Duke coach David Cutcliffe said.
Renfree completed 37 of 49 passes for 358 yards.
It was the highest-scoring game in the bowl's 11-year history even before the last touchdown.
Kay, who'll return for a sixth season in 2013 based on an NCAA ruling earlier this month, might have a hard time topping this one. He was named the game's Most Valuable Player, completing 17 of 25 passes with a bowl-record four touchdown throws.
Interim coach Steve Stripling was directing the Bearcats after Butch Davis left for the
Kay's 25-yard touchdown pass to Chris Moore with 11:19 left gave the Bearcats a 34-31 edge.
Freshman Ross Martin's career-long 52-yard field goal for Duke tied the game at 34-34 with 7:24 remaining.
Duke built a 16-0 lead when senior cornerback Tony Foster of
Leading 16-3, the Blue Devils were situated to make the gap bigger until running back Juwan Thompson's 11-yard pickup on a reception ended in a fumble at the
The final first-half blow was a 41-yard pass play from Kay to running back Ralph David Abernathy IV with 42 seconds remaining in the second quarter. The score capped a six-play, 98-yard drive that came after a 79-yard punt by Duke's Will Monday.
Martin missed a 48-yard field goal wide left on the last play of the half after a substitution penalty on Cincinnati negated a kick in which he split the uprights from 53 yards.
By the fourth quarter, there were all sorts of potential heroes lining up for the Blue Devils, who've yielded at least 42 points in each game of their five-game losing streak since defeating
Duke finally responded from
Brandon Connette's 2-yard pass to tight end David Reeves put Duke back on top at 31-27 after the extra-point kick with 12:45 remaining.
Earlier, Duke began the scoring when Connette ran 5 yards untouched to cap the game's opening possession. Martin's extra-point kick was blocked by defensive tackle Adam Dempsey, but Martin picked up the ball and dove for the pylon for an apparent two-point conversion. However, the called was overturned by video replay, leaving the Blue Devils with a 6-0 lead.
The ruling ended Duke's 68-game streak without a missed extra point, a run that had been the longest in the country.
The Blue Devils were unfazed, taking their next possession 44 yards. That included a fourth-down pickup when Connette caught a 9-yard pass from Renfree. Duke settled for a 33-yard Martin field goal.
The game, which was the first-ever meeting between the teams, began in 45-degree temperatures.

We have to admit we were a bit surprised when we heard about Charlie Sheen's generosity to a Wisconsin teen coping with severe injuries.
Last week, the Associated Press reported, the actor wired 15-year-old Teagan Marti $10,000 to help her family pay for a Golden Retriever puppy that will be specially trained to help her with her specific needs.
Marti sustained multiple injuries in 2010 in a 100-foot fall from an amusement park ride in Wisconsin. She spent months in hospitals undergoing physical therapy to regain some use of her arms and legs.
Of course, Marti chose to name her new pooch Charlie.
We're wondering: Does this affect your opinion of Charlie Sheen?
Everyone makes mistakes, some are more publicized than others. Thank you Charlie for doing something nice for someone in need.
everyone has a past, and even when we try to get everything together we will still make mistakes from time to time, its so nice to see something good about charlie, and what he did for this girl is amazing and going to change her life!! thank you for your kindness charlie!!
Well done Charlie - you have a heart. Thank you Charlie
I've always liked Charlie Sheen. He just had a bad spell & a bit of a major breakdown. I truly believe he has always had a good heart & soul. I think he's gotten himself back on track, admitted he isnt oerfect, and shown us all that he's just human & has his faults just like the rest of us!! Gooo Charlie!!
I think it is very generous of Charlie Sheen to pay for a service dog to be trained to help the teenager. I know training service dogs is expensive. None of us are exempt from faults we've made in our past. That's what forgiveness is for. Thank you Charlie, you've made a teenager in need very happy.
Always loved Charlie. Even more now!
no, not really,just because he parties like the insane, doesn't mean he's without a heart!
So glad to hear about an unselfish deed...........charlie always had a good heart u could see it in his eyes.......everyone gets caught up in lifes turmoils..sometimes we get get fed up and rebel does not make us a bad person.........happy for him to get himself back on track..........congrads to u charles.........................

US Office of Personnel Management
Director Katherine Archuleta is a long-time public servant, who has distinguished herself as a leader on human resources and management policy in a variety of senior positions in local and Federal government.
On May 23, 2013, President Obama appointed Director Archuleta to lead the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the agency responsible for attracting and retaining an innovative, diverse and talented workforce to make the Federal government a model employer for the 21st century.
On November 4th, Archuleta was sworn in to begin her tenure as the 10th Director of OPM, and the first Latina to head this federal agency.
Director Archuleta began her career in public service as a teacher in the Denver public school system. She left teaching to work as an aide to Denver Mayor Federico Peña. When Mayor Peña became Secretary of Transportation during the Clinton Administration, Archuleta continued her public service as his Chief of Staff. Later, Peña was appointed to head the Department of Energy and Archuleta served as a Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of the Secretary.
After the Clinton Administration, she went back to local government and became a Senior Policy Advisor to Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper.
Prior to joining OPM, Archuleta spent the first two years of the Obama Administration serving as the Chief of Staff at the Department of Labor to Secretary Hilda Solis, and most recently, she was the National Political Director for the President's 2012 re-election campaign.
As the Director of OPM, Archuleta is committed to building an innovative and inclusive workforce that reflects the diversity of America. As a long-time public servant, she is a champion of Federal employees.

The Carlyle Group returned $19 billion to investors last year and reported a 152 percent year-on-year leap earnings, according to Reuters.
"In 2011, Carlyle distributed about $19 billion to its fund investors, up from $8 billion in 2010. As of the end of 2011, its buyout, credit and real estate funds collectively had about $22 billion in capital not yet committed - so-called dry powder. Economic net income, an accounting measure of the firm's profitability that takes into account the mark-to-market valuation of its assets, dropped from $1 billion in 2010 to $833.1 million in 2011 on choppy financial markets.
But stripped of paper profits and losses, 2011 earnings were much stronger. Distributable earnings came in at $864.4 million, more than twice the distributable earnings of $342.5 million in 2010. Most of that increase was a result of gains in its buyout business, although its capital markets unit also contributed," said Reuters.
The disclosures were made in a new filing Thursday.
The Washington D.C. private equity giant filed IPO paperwork last year.
In the new filing, "Carlyle said it would bring in seven members to its board of directors, including five independent members, to join the firm's three founders: William Conway, Daniel D'Aniello and David Rubenstein. These include Travelers Companies Inc Chief Executive Jay Fishman, retired Marriott International Inc (MAR.N) Vice Chairman William Shaw and Lawton Fitt, a director of Thomson Reuters Corp (TRI.TO), the parent company of Reuters News.
Independent directors will receive a retainer of $175,000, of which $125,000 will be payable in cash and $50,000 payable in the form of an annual deferred restricted share award, as well as $200,000 of deferred restricted shares under the firm's equity incentive plan," said Reuters.

Scroll for Important Safety Information and Indications.
All prescription NSAIDs, like CELEBREX, ibuprofen, naproxen, and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. They may all increase the chance of heart attack or stroke that can lead to death. This chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors for it, such as high blood pressure or when NSAIDs are taken for long periods.
CELEBREX should not be used right before or after certain heart surgeries.
Serious skin reactions, or stomach and intestine problems such as bleeding and ulcers, can occur without warning and may cause death. Patients taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers.
Tell your doctor if you have:
- A history of ulcers or bleeding in the stomach or intestines
- High blood pressure or heart failure
- Kidney or liver problems
CELEBREX should not be taken in late pregnancy.
Do not take CELEBREX if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or you've had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergic reactions to aspirin, any other NSAID medicine or certain drugs called sulfonamides.
Life threatening allergic reactions can occur with CELEBREX. Get help right away if you've had swelling of the face or throat or trouble breathing.
Prescription CELEBREX should be used exactly as prescribed at the lowest dose possible and for the shortest time needed.
CELEBREX is indicated for the relief of the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, and for the management of acute pain in adults.
