Karan Johar took to his Twitter page to share his excitement over the movie Student of the Year. He tweeted, "Have just 1 day left to complete STUDENT OF THE YEAR....its been an 11 month shoot journey...with lots of fun and debut dynamics!!!" The producer added, "The first trailer of STUDENT OF THE YEAR will be out on the 2nd of August....."
Student Of The Year is a story about three friends, who are stepping into the next phase of their lives. The movie is directed by Karan Johar and produced by Dharma Productions and co-produced by Shahrukh Khan. Vishal-Shekhar are composing music for the film, which is expected to hit the stalls soon.
However, Student Of The Year will launch three fresh faces like Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Malhotra, into the industry. All the cast and crew associated with the movie are extremely excited about their debut on the silver screen. It is slated to release on October 19, 2012.

Chill on the Hill
When secrecy comes up against accountability, the former almost always wins. Yet the fear of harmful leaks has little basis in fact. As a CIA consultant noted in a 1997 report, "Apart from a handful of widely reported and somewhat dated examples, no intelligence agency personnel interviewed for this study could point to instances of compromise by Members or their staffs." In fact, even the now-famous memo by FBI Minneapolis bureau agent Coleen Rowley about deficiencies at the bureau has never been leaked in its entirety.
The June "leak" regarding the National Security Agency's Arabic intercept the day before September 11 (in which someone declared "the match begins tomorrow" and "tomorrow is zero hour") gave the Administration an excuse to rough up the committees. But Loch Johnson, a respected former intelligence committee staffer, says bluntly, "Chances are, the leak came from the executive branch anyway. And if not, the Congress can read the riot act to members and staff, and they will almost always shape up." As in fact they did, scrambling to demand an inquiry into themselves. Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, the liberal minority whip and ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, declared, "It is appropriate that we ask for this investigation and let the chips fall where they may." Several committee members balked when the probers suggested lie-detector tests all around (Shelby said he wouldn't comply, and Pelosi objected as well), but others, including Republican Senator Jon Kyl, indicated an enthusiasm for getting hooked up to a polygraph. According to the Associated Press, the offices of thirteen of seventeen committee members confirmed that they were turning over telephone logs, memos, visitor sign-in sheets and other documents--and not a single member indicated he or she would resist. In the panic and rush to establish bona fides, no one even dared to suggest that the public might be better off knowing about such matters.
John McCain underlined this when he recently stormed out of a so-called top-secret briefing, complaining that senators were learning less than they might from reading the paper. Although the committees looking into 9/11 and more generalized intelligence failings typically meet in closed session in order to protect "sources and methods," former House committee chairman Dan Glickman remembers, "They didn't tell us anything about that anyway." Glickman recalls the constant frustration of facing intelligence personnel who refused to declassify, or even talk about, information that was already out in the press. Their refusal means that Congress members are checkmated from mentioning such matters in public. It's even worse on the rare occasion when members have some worthwhile knowledge as a result of their briefings. "Most excruciating for me," recalls Lee Hamilton, "was when the President would say something at a news conference and he was flat wrong. On the basis of available intelligence, you know information that makes it wrong, but you can't say anything about it." Shelby left the impression that little has changed in this regard. Even more fundamental, Congress members have almost no way to assess the quality of raw intelligence or how it is analyzed.
Institutional cocooning is best illustrated by the continued classification not only of line items in the intelligence budget but even of the single figure that represents total intelligence spending. Periodic efforts by committee members to eliminate this ridiculous tiptoeing have largely gone silent since 9/11. The 1997 and 1998 budget totals were declassified only after the Federation of American Scientists sued for the information. Another current suit demands the release of the 2002 budget (widely believed to exceed $30 billion) and, incredibly, the 1947 and 1948 budgets, which the CIA still deems too sensitive to make public. One might well conclude that this attitude is less about protecting legitimate secrets than hiding the faults of the system itself. "There is probably a lot of classified information that might be embarrassing to people but not undermine the Republic," says Shelby.
Committee members routinely complain that agency personnel try to keep them in the dark on the high-tech equipment that consumes so much of the spying budget. Where such nondisclosure lurks, can pork be far behind? Recruiting Farsi or Arabic speakers may result in better intelligence for a relatively small outlay, but it's the hugely expensive technology contracts (and the jobs they provide) that allow Congress members to reward contributors and constituents, often without an accurate sense of what largesse they are dispensing. It's further downhill from there. "Would-be critics do not even know what is at issue," laments Aftergood. And, of course, there's that old revolving door: Typical is former Senate committee staff director Taylor Lawrence, who went over to defense contractor Northrop Grumman.
The oversight process certainly has its "moments" (one of which is right now), but its overall performance seems designed to protect a dinosaur. Times have changed, the world has changed, but we don't really know what--except for buying increasingly fancy hardware--the spy agencies have done to change their strategies and tactics since the cold war. As the long-delayed "open" hearings unfold, the confluence of events and the public mood may have finally created a rare window for real reform. Even Shelby agrees. "We think it will take public pressure to modernize these agencies," he says. Fair enough. But the pressure will have to start with someone who knows something, such as committee members themselves. What if one or two of them decide to go public with a more detailed critique of the current system? What if they declare openly that "sources and methods" is a red herring, and that it's time for the public to be told some of the hard truths about the intelligence community's quotidian operations?
They might start by challenging the idea that government works best by keeping "sensitive" information secret. There is evidence that much successful investigative work and pre-emptive action depends on a collaboration with the public. Given what we now know about tips and leads that were ignored by the bureaucracy before 9/11, it can be argued that bringing more openness to the process would improve accountability and increase public safety. Opening up the system, within prudent limits, will require not just more "open" hearings but changes in the intelligence community to insure that criticisms and suggestions are heard and, where appropriate, acted on. The oversight committees can take steps to put together well-informed and more vigorous staffs, whose mission includes not just asking agency officials better questions but cultivating alternative sources of information. Where can the committees find such staffers? Some knowledgeable insiders suggest that the best place to look might be among disaffected former intelligence officers who got into trouble for speaking out or who retired in disgust.
Right now, we need some big, concrete moves. For example, if homeland security is going to be "centralized," then perhaps so should the intelligence oversight and budgeting process, which is now shared among committees, including Armed Services and Judiciary as well as Intelligence. But the most important first step is to insure that the impending independent commission on 9/11 has the clout and know-how to dig deep and effect change. As important, after it looks into 9/11, it should be converted into a non-Congressional variant of the original Church committee of the 1970s, which created oversight. It needs a firm mandate to reassess the entire intelligence mission and infrastructure, and the ways in which a democratic society can have a say over its spies. Archimedes said, "Give me a place to stand, and I can move the Earth." Moving the intelligence community toward greater efficacy and accountability will take the concerted efforts of tough people who combine law enforcement and intelligence experience with a willingness to seek answers in the face of opposition from some of the most formidable powers in and out of government.

4 Bible Secrets to Heal a Broken Heart
Relationships are the building blocks of humanity, writes Dudley Rutherford, author of God Has an App for That, and senior pastor of the 10,000-member Shepherd of the Hills Church in Los Angeles. Relationships, he says, can elicit overwhelming joy, such as the special bond between parent and child or the enduring love between a husband and wife. However, the breakdown of relationships – seen across the ages and across the world – can cause unbearable devastation. Couples divorce, family members become estranged, siblings fight, and longtime friendships dissolve bitterly.

These individual Meyer lemon tartlets contain four layers of lemon flavor, from the lemon thyme crust to the lemon meringue kiss. The crust and lemon curd can be made a day ahead.
2 cups flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon thyme leaves
1 teaspoon grated Meyer lemon peel
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold butter, cut into pieces
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoons cold Limoncello liqueur
9 egg yolks
2/3 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice
1/4 cup Limoncello liqueur
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups blackberries
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons Limoncello liqueur
1 teaspoon fresh lemon thyme leaves
3 egg whites
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Cream of Tartar
1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Lemon Extract
For the Tart Crust, place flour, granulated sugar, lemon thyme and lemon peel in food processor; cover. Pulse to combine. Add butter; process until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk; process until dough begins to form a ball. (If needed, add 1 to 2 tablespoons Limoncello liqueur.) Divide dough in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap, pressing to form a disk. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Cut each disk into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Press into tartlet pans with 2-inch diameter cups. Trim excess dough from top. Form a total of 24 tart shells. Freeze 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place tartlet pans on large baking sheet. Bake 17 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool tart shells in pans on wire rack. Using a toothpick, carefully remove tart shells from pans. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Place tart shells on baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap. Store at room temperature.).
For the Meyer Lemon Curd, mix egg yolks, Meyer lemon juice, Limoncello liqueur and granulated sugar in large heavy saucepan with wire whisk until well blended. Whisking constantly, cook on medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until curd is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter, one piece at a time. Spoon into large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the curd to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight until chilled and set.
For the Blackberries, mix all ingredients in medium bowl until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Spoon about 2 tablespoons lemon curd into each tart shell. Set aside.
For the Lemon Meringue Kisses, beat egg whites in medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Mix sugar and cream of tartar in small bowl. Gradually add sugar mixture and lemon extract to egg whites, beating until stiff peaks form. Spoon about 1 tablespoon meringue in the center of each tartlet, lifting spoon so that meringue forms a peak. Place tartlets on large baking sheets.
Broil 3 to 6 inches from heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the meringue is lightly browned. (Watch to ensure that meringue does not burn.) Refrigerate tartlets at least 30 minutes before serving. To serve, top each tartlet with Limoncello Blackberries.
• If Meyer lemons are unavailable, use grated lemon peel in the tart crust and the blackberry mixture. Use 7 tablespoons lemon juice and 3 1/2 tablespoons orange juice in the lemon curd.
(Amount per serving)

Asking the assembled legislators to use both discipline and vision in approaching the state's current budget crisis, California Governor Jerry Brown said that hard choices were in the year ahead for California, whether the choices were made in the legislature or at the polling place.
"It's not politics as usual. Things are different," he said in his State of the State Address, noting the public has been more vocal about its unhappiness with the state's current situation and how the state got there.

He offered two alternatives: extend taxes or cut programming, cautioning that while redevelopment agencies and projects are worthwhile, something he saw first-hand while he was Mayor of Oakland, the funds derived from local tax sources given to redevelopment leave less to distribute to schools, police and fire and compromise service to California's "most vulnerable populations."
Calling this one of the "hard choices," Brown was quick to add that current redevelopment projects and all bonded indebtedness were safe.
Brown's speech was less of an outlining of solutions than a call to action, the third-term governor, first reading from the California constitution's directive that "all power is in the people."
"If you are a Democrat who doesn't want to make budget reductions in programs you fought for and deeply believe in, I understand that," the Governor said. "If you are a Republican who has taken a stand against taxes, I understand where you are coming from. But things are different this time. In fact, the people are telling us–in their own way–that they sense that something is profoundly wrong. They see that their leaders are divided when they should be decisive and acting with clear purpose."
"When democratic ideals and calls for the right to vote are stirring the imagination of young people in Egypt and Tunisia and other parts of the world, we in California can't say now is the time to block a vote of the people," he told the legislators. "In the ordinary course of things, matters of state concern are properly handled in Sacramento. But when the elected representatives find themselves bogged down by deep differences which divide them, the only way forward is to go back to the people and seek their guidance. It is time for a legislative check-in with the people of California."
Brown's biggest challenge will be to get a legislator to propose the budget choices to a special election.
"My plan to rebuild California requires a vote of the people, and frankly I believe it would be irresponsible for us to exclude the people from this process," he said. "They have a right to vote on this plan. This state belongs to all of us, not just those of us in this chamber. Given the unique nature of the crisis and the serious impact our decisions will have on millions of Californians, the voters deserve to be heard."
Comments from our local representatives
Assemblyman Cameron Smyth today responded to Governor Jerry Brown's 2011 State of the State Address, saying that he looked forward to working with the Governor to pass honest solutions to balance the budget, reform Sacramento and get Californians working again.
"Governor Brown has provided us with a blueprint for the state budget," said Smyth, "and the $8 billion in real cuts are a good starting point. However, instead of relying on voters to approve tax increases that they have rejected twice in the last 18 months, it's important that Republicans work with his administration and the majority party to help identify additional savings to close the deficit."
In his State of the State address, Governor Brown made the case for his budget plan for the next 18 months, which contains $14 billion in higher taxes, $8 billion in spending cuts and $6.5 billion in fund shifts and borrowing. Smyth said that the best way to get California's finances back on track was getting our spending priorities in order, reforming state government and bringing back private-sector jobs – not raising taxes at a time when working families are struggling to make ends meet.
Smyth, who serves as Chair of the Assembly Local Government Committee, also expressed concern about Governor Brown's proposal to eliminate Enterprise Zone designations, noting that two zones in the Santa Clarita Valley have created a number of jobs and encouraged investment in the local economy.
"Eliminating programs like Enterprise Zones makes little sense, as the Legislature's top priority should be creating private sector jobs," said Smyth. "Rather than getting rid of job creation incentives, we should be looking at how to improve the program and demand more accountability to ensure that programs are working the way they were designed."
Board of Equalization Member George Runner issued the following statement:
"I'm glad Governor Brown is planning to make government more efficient and attempt to put California 's financial house in order.
"But the Governor has it backwards. He thinks balancing the budget will solve our jobs problem. We actually need to solve our jobs problem to solve our budget problem. The Governor's proposed tax hikes will only kill jobs and make our budget problems worse.
"When I served in the Legislature, I warned that the last round of massive tax increases would damage California 's economy. Unfortunately, I was right. Since the February 2009 tax increase, California has lost half a million jobs, unemployment has grown 20%, and we're still in a budget crisis.
"Instead of raising taxes, the Governor should issue an executive order immediately freezing all new taxes, fees and regulations that hurt jobs. That would do more to solve California 's problems than a thousand speeches.
"The Governor can talk about jobs all he wants, but it's the private sector—not the government—that actually creates jobs. And right now California 's job creators have a severe hernia from trying to lift a mountain of new taxes, fees and regulations imposed on them during this economic downturn."
Sen. Tony Strickland (R-Simi Valley) released the following statement on Gov. Jerry Brown's State of the State address:
"Last year, the state spent $92 billion in general fund dollars. This year, we're projected to take in about $90 in revenue, and yet the Governor's budget calls for almost $100 billion in spending. The Democrats in Sacramento just keep coming back for more. They need to maximize the dollars that do come to Sacramento and just deal with it."
"The Governor and legislative Democrats are throwing around nothing but hyperbole and scare tactics to justify doubling your car tax and raising your sales and income taxes by extending the largest tax increase in California history."
"There are families across California who wish they could go out to eat more often or buy a new car, but understand during these tough economic times, they have to budget their money and only spend within their means. California government should have to do the same."

Dance Music Isn't Dead After All
By NICK HASTED
Pop THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS Olympia LONDON ***
From the balcony above, the 10,000 people at The Chemical Brothers' biggest ever gig look as if they're at a steamy rave, or the sort of 1960s happening the Olympia's cavernous space once attracted. The last time it was used as a venue a decade ago, the Brothers were at the cutting edge. Their big beat sound, matching breakbeats with cresting house keyboards, ruled the mid-1990s. Their great second album Dig Your Own Hole (1997) added the psychedelic experiments that acid house's name had always promised.
Like their sometime collaborator Noel Gallagher, they never found another idea. But they've retained greater pop resource, creating striking singles seemingly at will, and a deep understanding of how to make dance music a visual spectacle. And so here they still are, hitting another popular peak, for a genre that's supposed to be dead.
Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, the one-time mediaeval history students who became club culture millionaires, are, as usual, rarely visible as they anonymously trigger storms of sound and light. In this they resemble Pink Floyd, and vintage acid-head kaleidoscope visuals confirm their interest in that era. When a vicious clan introduces bursting liquid visuals and the joyous surge of "Saturate", there are hints, too, of the primitive, idealistic early electronic records the Brothers once studied, as they forged their modern high-water mark. The voice of New Order's Bernard Sumner and a burst of Primal Scream's "Movin' On Up" during "Out of Control" nod to later inspirations. In the ongoing dialogue between dance, music and drugs, the Brothers are still history students.
For all its steamroller efficiency, their two-hour set seems more raw and home-made than slick. A great blinking eye is 1930s surreal, not 2008 digital. Then there's the yellow-toothed clown who appears to demand us to "Get yourself high" – advice you'd regret on his reappearance an hour later, growling: "You are all my children now!" The many people filming the show on their mobile phones instead of dancing suggests, anyway, that chemicals no longer rule the Brothers' world.
But the musical dynamics that ecstasy revealed still underpin every second. The crowd's hands are raised before the bee-buzz intro explodes into "Hey Boy Hey Girl". The way the dive-bomber shriek of "Believe" coalesces into a wholly enveloping sound as lights urgently strobe remains a sensory blast. The soaring jet-engine roars that the Brothers still love fill this aircraft-hanger space. The dry synth-drum cracks that resonate through it show the sonic precision which sets them apart.
They close with a perfunctory "Block Rockin' Beats", then "Chemical Beats", the 1994 EP track that began this whole trip. That it doesn't sound dated is in many ways a defeat for this one-time future sound. But being cutting-edge doesn't matter, when you make such imperishable pop.

Sydney FC's Colosimo confident of bouncing back from injury
Sydney FC's Simon Colosimo is on the mend and ready for action after a long lay-off.
The former Perth Glory captain endured a tough first season with the Sky Blues, suffering from the debilitating Osteitis Pubis but is confident his work over the off season will have him ready for the 2009/10 campaign.
"It's been a long, long break. It's felt like forever and so it's great to be back out there on the training park," he said.
"When I went in for the operation (in September) we were sitting pretty and looking at dates, thinking I could be back for the final couple of rounds and finals time. It didn't quite work out that way.
"I've done a lot of strength work before coming back. We're going to be a different outfit this year and so am I."

Re: Water damage to cabin sole
I had, what sounds like, a very similar leak. It turned out to be water filling up the inside of the mast (from trickling in from halyard lines) and then overflowing through the eye where the wiring harness goes down the center of the mast into the cabin. That little strip of wood was the give-away. Once I removed that I could see how the water followed the wiring harness. Since I keep my boat in Washington, NC PSC fixed it immediately. (There wasn't much damage to mine as I caught it pretty quickly). The long term solution is to drill two weep holes into the bottom of the mast in order to let the mast drain. This seems to be a common problem for a lot of people on many brands of boats. The wiring harness comes up through a short section of pvc pipe. The top where the wires comes through is usually plugged to prevent water from passing below, but you know how that goes over time. At any rate, who wants a mast full of water? ~Alan

Torbay, Devon
'Basil Fawlty gave hoteliers in Torbay a bad name,' says Stuart Butler, who grew up near the 'English Riviera' and recommends Paignton's kitsch sea-front road as a 'throwback to the classic British bucket-and-spade holidays of old'. The charming Elmdene Hotel (doubles from £66 per night) bears no resemblance to Fawlty Towers, and is just 300m from Torquay's main beach.

The options range from fast food to sit down restaurants. Located a short walk from campus on third street, this is the go to restaurant for campus students looking for a change from campus food. Past Subway the Chinese restaurant is also on Third Street, it is possible to get all sorts of favorite Chinese dishes from here, including: egg rolls and General Tsos chicken. Photo By: Joshua Laska Ryan Minutello (senior/radio and tv communication) enjoys a slice of ranch pizza from Lagerheads, located in Coal Center. More than just food on campus to eat price. On Tuesday, depending on the time of order, the price is between $6-10 for a large 1 topping pizza. Across the street from The Great Wall, still on Third Street, Kwik Fill offers chicken, pizza, and fries to fill those hunger urges. They also have medicine and drinks for late at night when all of the other stores are closed. Further down Third Street, on the same side as The Great Wall and Subway, is everyone's favorite ice cream place. Besides ice cream, it is possible to get burgers, chicken, hot dogs, and even shrimp. If instead of walking straight at the light, make a right at the light. Located on the left side of Wood Street is Spuds. They offer every type of burger imaginable, as well as fries with every topping possible. Also on the left side of Wood Street, continue walking past Spuds and there is Campy's. Here they serve pizza, subs, and the best bread sticks in Cal. Right across the street from Campy's, they serve different types of subs than what is available at Subway. Located out of Cal on Water Street in Coal Center, still a short walk away (1.6 miles from campus), it is possible to get a good steak from here as well as some really good pizza. There are also many food options just a short drive from Cal in Belle Vernon, Uniontown or Brownsville. Campy's Pizza Kwik Fill Subway Quiznos Dairy Queen The Great Wall Lagerheads By Jessica ZomBek Editor in Chief Dorm Suite Home: Add a personal touch Moving away from home can be bittersweet. It's exciting to be able to make your own decisions and experience living in a different setting. It can also be hard to transition from the comfort your parents have provided for years. Now instead of the cozy feeling of your living room and bedroom at home, you're placed somewhere new with white walls and possibly a stranger living in the immediate vicinity. As a college student, your dorm room is not only your bedroom, but also your library, kitchen, study room and living room all-in-one. It's important to love and make it your own. Your dorm room needs to reflect your personality and create a space where you can live comfortably as well as a place that is conducive to studying. Bringing something comforting from home, like a comforter or cozy blanket, can add a homey feel to your dorm room. These comforting items add a warm feel to the new surroundings. Photos are another comforting item to place around your dorm room. It's a good idea to print some out and sticky-tac them to the wall, but putting photos in frames and placing a few on the desk and dresser makes it feel more like home. Joe Ferlin, (senior/graphic communications) brought many things from home. "I made my room feel like my bedroom at home," said Joe. "I brought posters, my Xbox and my big screen TV." Buying floor and desk lamps can fix the harsh lighting of the dorm room. Floor lamps are nice to have in the evening to cuddle up with your comforter from home and read a book or magazine to escape from school work for a little bit. Desk lamps are nice for working late at night and not having to bother the roommate who is sleeping just feet away. Having beanbag chairs or other alternative seating is also nice. A futon can be a way to separate the room and add extra space for visitors to sit or sleep comfortably. Wal Mart and Target sell futons as well as butterfly and orb chairs. Area rugs are also a nice addition. California University of Pennsylvania's dorms have carpet, but at times it's nice to lay on the floor to study, read, or watch movies. Having an area rug not only provides comfort, but also adds spunk and color to what was a white walled � brown carpeted room. What are ways that you are making your dorm feel like home? Check us out on www. caltimes.org and send us your ideas and post photos on our facebook page http://www. facebook.com/cal.times.

AUGUST 25, 2011 CAL TIMES "This year we are changing gears just a little bit," says Capt. Robert Prah, director of California University's Office of Veterans Affairs. "We decided to focus our mission on veterans in need. Our goal this year is to raise $2,500 for Joplin's veterans and their families." Howard Spiva, commander of the Robert S. Thurman Post 13 in Joplin, has told Prah that dozens of veterans lost everything when devastating storms swept through his community on May 22nd. More than 150 people were killed. In addition to collecting donations, the Cal U veterans hope their journey will raise awareness of the American Legion's national mission to support and serve veterans of all wars. On the road they will wear T-shirts highlighting the Legion's "4 Pillars of Service." Prah intends to post updates about the group's progress on BurnPit, the American Legion's blog site. A link will be available on the Cal U homepage, www. calu.edu. PAGE 3 Veterans head to Joplin, MO California University 24th annual health fair By Christine Kindl For the Cal Times The Veterans Club at California University of Pennsylvania is on a mission to aid fellow military veterans in tornadoravaged Joplin, MO. Club members will drive from Cal U to Joplin, stopping along the way to solicit funds for the Missouri veterans at American Legion posts. Operation CALJOP (California/Joplin) will take the Veterans Club members to Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Missouri. The group will depart from Cal U on Aug. 24. Club members will arrive in Joplin on Aug. 26th, to meet with veterans and deliver the donations. On a similar mission last year, the Cal U Veterans Club traveled to Michigan for the University's first varsity football game of the season. Along the way, the veterans raised more than $1,750 for Jackie Syverson, a Cal U graduate student whose husband was killed while on active duty. "A WEALTH OF HEALTH" On September 14, 2011, California University of Pennsylvania will be hosting the 24th annual Health Fair from 11:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Performance Center of the Natali Student Center.

This year, more than 30 representatives from the health industry will be present to educate individuals on different aspects of their health. There will be a vast array of professionals in attendance to talk about everything from diabetes to smoking, cosmetics to orthopedics.

By Karen Primm Welcome, Cal U Students from the Internship Center! Whether you are an incoming freshman or a senior, this semester is a great time to think about how you can fit career-related experiences into your academic plan. Think of college as more than just a way to get a degree, but rather a series of experiences that will serve you throughout your lifetime. These might be volunteering, job shadowing, cooperative education , or other real-world experiences. One of the most powerful opportunities you can have while in school is an internship. Internships are for-credit academic courses where you will experience professional career interests outside the classroom but under the supervision of Cal U faculty members. If you are thinking of a spring or summer 2012 internship, let's start now! The Cal U Internship Center is located in Eberly Science and Technology Center, Room 230. It helps students identify and develop internship sites, keeps looking for students to assist with a massive data collecting, marketing, and social media project. Please e-mail your resume to Mr. Craig Bommer, Vice President of Business Operations at firstname.lastname@example.com Community Alternatives, Inc.

Melissa St Vil & Natasha "The Nightmare" Spence went to WAR over six close rounds. St Vil was showing why they call her "Little Tyson" early by being a nightmare to "The Nightmare" land crisp power punches at will. Spence started playing catchup against the aggressor St Vil in the later round but it seemed to be a little too late. The judges scored the fight 76-76, 79-73 & 78-74 in favor of Melissa "Little Tyson" St Vil (4-1-2).

To combat threats of climate change, India will soon unveil a detailed roadmap for a low-carbon growth strategy, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said on Tuesday.
"Post-Copenhagen, our priority will be to cut emission intensity by 20-25 per cent by 2020 on 2005 levels which is not only eminently feasible but which can also be improved upon the benefit of our own people," he said.
In this direction, the Planning Commission has been asked to constitute a committee of experts to prepare a detailed a road-map for low carbon growth giving a term of reference on what we can do, Mr. Ramesh said.
"It will submit the report within next three or four months to be implemented in the 12th five year plan," the Minister said.
He, however, made it clear that these commitments were voluntarily, unilateral and not legally binding.
Impressed by the climate actions being taken by China, Mr. Ramesh observed that the neighbouring country negotiated on the basis of what it is doing at the domestic level. "We too need to emphasize on domestic action and climate diplomacy," the Minister said.
He expressed confidence in ten years from now; India could be selling green technology. Many Indian companies have seen business opportunities in this area.
"This is an opportunity for India to be moving ahead," Mr. Ramesh said.

Larry Cook
Los Angeles vs. Miami
Take Los Angeles Lakers
3* on L.A. Lakers -9 The Lakers are a whole new team with the addition of Pau Gasol and they will continue to run over the Miami Heat just as every other team in the league has. The Heat picked up Shawn Marion, but Marion is not expected to play in this game, leaving Miami still a very inexperienced team with little talent other than Dwayne Wade. Miami is 4-18 ATS versus poor pressure defensive teams forcing more than 14 turnovers/game this season. The Lakers are 14-5 ATS after covering 2 of their last 3 against the spread this season. Miami is 1-11 ATS after playing 3 consecutive games as an underdog this season. The Heat are simply just awful this year. Bet the Lakers on the road.

UL Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns at Denver Pioneers
Denver -1.5 (Heavy Hitter) -110 | Unit Value: 3
Note: I am not exactly sure what I am missing here but the Pioneers have been one of my favorite home plays this year, and they continue to do the things that make them a winner, like great ball handling skills, superb shot selection, and outstanding defense at this court. I have expounded so much on this team in previous writeups, that I am not going to continue to bore you with why this is the best play of the day. Denver loves to play here in the Mile High City, and visitors do not like to come here to play. Certainly the altitude has something to do with that and we have seen many fold in the second half because of it. That certainly did happen to Troy earlier this week as they were outscored 55-32 in the second stanza. Let's just lay the 1.5 points and wait for the second half onslaught today..

5 Unit Black Magic Big Ten Beatdown on Ohio State -2.5
The Ohio State Buckeyes will make their move in the Big Ten race starting Sunday. The Buckeyes have won 4 out of their last 5 Big Ten games, and now they have to show the world that they are tournament worthy by knocking off Indiana, a team that most would say is the best in the conference. Ohio State has used their home court brilliantly this season, winning 12 out of 13 games by an average margin of 16 points a piece. Indiana is 1-8 ATS in February games over the last 2 seasons. Ohio State is 14-3 ATS in home games off a no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite since 1997. Cash in with Ohio State as the favorite.
3 Unit Sharp Play on Richmond -2.5
Richmond will deliver a beat down on Saint Louis at home. Saint Louis has been atrocious on the road this season, winning just 3 road games and scoring just over 52 points per game. Richmond has only failed to cover the spread twice all season at home. Richmond is 8-2 ATS after playing a game as an underdog this season. Richmond is 10-2 ATS after playing a game as a home underdog over the last 2 seasons. Cash in with Richmond as the favorite.
3 Unit Sharp Play on Minnesota Timberwolves +4.5
Minnesota has been playing much better basketball as of late. The Timberwolves are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Minnesota has future superstars on their team that not too many folks know about. Toronto is 15-29 ATS off a home loss over the last 3 seasons. Cash in with Minnesota as the home underdog.

4-Unit Play (Game of the Week). #717 Take Rhode Island -170 over Fordham
The Rams have really been the suprise of the A-10. Rhode Island has lost four games all season, and prior to a two-point setback last time out, the Rams had won four straight conference games all by double figures. They face a Fordham team that has dropped three straight and seven of its last ten overall. Not a good match-up, Fordham just doesn't have the offensive weapons that Rhode Island bolsters to hold at home, and we'll see them continue their strong success this year and a further push seeding improvement for March. Play Rhode Island in this one.

Vegas Insider Tip Sheet
San Antonio at Boston**
San Antonio (32-16 straight up, 23-25 against the spread) and Boston (38-9 SU, 28-17 ATS) tip off Sunday's action in what could be a preview of this year's NBA Finals. The Spurs have quietly ripped off four straight victories, including a 99-93 overtime win against New York on Friday. Boston continues to dominate despite not having its best player, Kevin Garnett (abdominal), for the past six games. The club has gone 4-2 SU and 3-3 ATS without KG in the lineup.
The Spurs own an impressive 13-3 against Eastern Conference opponents this year, but that doesn't compare to the perfect 15-0 mark set by the Celtics against the West. A low-scoring affair should be expected as both the Spurs (91.2 points per game) and Celtics (89 PPG) stress defense. San Antonio has won nine of the last 10 meetings against Boston, including five straight victories in Massachusetts. Greg Popovich's team has gone 7-3 ATS during this run.
System players should find the time to read Ed Meyer's Acela Angle, which talks about the New York-Boston trip that opposing NBA teams face. The Acela is named after Amtrak's super-fast train that runs between the two cities. The system is 23-0 ATS and that includes a 4-0 run this season. This matchup fits into the system as well.
**L.A. Lakers at Miami**
Sunday's showdown between the Lakers (32-17 SU, 29-19 ATS) and Heat (9-40 SU, 17-30 ATS) was expected to be another Kobe-Shaq showdown in South Beach but that was before Miami shipped Shaquille O'Neal and his oversized salary to Phoenix via trade on Tuesday. In return, the Heat received Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks from the Suns. The duo is expected to play in this afternoon battle, which will be nationally televised on ABC at 3:30 p.m. EST.
With or without Shaq, the Heat should have their hands full against a red-hot Lakers club. Los Angeles has won and covered four of its last five, with three of the wins coming by double digits. Newly acquired forward Pau Gasol has already proven his worth, averaging 22 PPG and 9.3 boards in his first three games with the Purple and Gold. Since Miami snapped its 15-game losing skid on Jan. 26 to Indiana (98-96), the team has dropped six straight contests. The Heat haven't performed well for their season ticket holders, owning a sorry 5-19 SU and 6-18 ATS mark. The series was split 1-1 last year, with the home team winning both battles.
**Dallas at New Jersey**
Dallas (34-15 SU, 20-26 ATS) meets New Jersey (21-29 SU, 19-31 ATS) on Sunday in the first of a quick two-game East Coast trip for Avery Johnson's team. The Mavericks have been up and down this year on the road, going 12-12 SU and 10-14 ATS. Fortunately for them, the Nets have been beatable at home (10-15 SU, 7-18 ATS). Dallas has won three of the last four encounters with New Jersey, including last year's season sweep that witnessed a pair of double-digit wins. The 'under' went 2-0 and is on a 3-1 run between the two squads.
**Charlotte at Detroit**
After losing three straight games from Jan. 18-21, Detroit (36-13 SU, 28-20 ATS) has ripped off seven consecutive victories and is making a push for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons look for their eighth win a row on Sunday when Charlotte (4-17 SU, 7-13 ATS) visits The Palace of Auburn Hills. This will be the third meeting between the clubs this year. Detroit has won both of the first two, which includes a 19-point (104-85) win at home on Dec. 9. Total players have watched the 'over' cash in four straight in this head-to-head series and six of the last seven.
**Toronto at Minnesota**
Contrasting styles meet at Target Center, when Toronto (26-22 SU, 26-21 ATS) its explosive offense meet a defensive-minded Minnesota (10-38 SU, 22-25 ATS) squad. The Raptors have watched the 'over' cash in five straight and seven of their last eight games. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves has seen the 'under' go 6-1 in their last seven games. Minnesota hasn't eclipsed the 100-point barrier in seven straight games. Despite the lack of scoring, the Wolves have gone 9-3 ATS in their last 12. Toronto has had Minnesota's number of late, winning and covering six straight. The 'under' is 4-2 during this dominance by the Raptors.
**Denver at Cleveland**
Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James renew their rivalry on Sunday from Quicken Loans Arena in a non-conference battle televised nationally on ESPN at 6:30 p.m. EST. Denver (30-19 SU, 26-23 ATS) and Anthony have gotten the best of Cleveland (28-21 SU, 23-26 ATS) lately, winning all of the previous four meetings. Denver is averaging 110 PPG in its last five games, which has helped the team produce a 4-1 SU and 3-1-1 ATS mark. The 'over' has gone 4-1 during this stretch. The Nuggets have posted a 13-5 record versus the Western Conference this year, while the Cavaliers are 7-9 against the East. Cleveland has gone 15-7 SU and 8-14 ATS at home this year. Denver has allowed 109 PPG on the road en route to a 9-13 SU and 10-12 ATS mark. The 'over' is 13-9.
**Washington at Phoenix**
Washington (24-25 SU, 27-21 ATS) continues its West Coast trip Sunday with a battle against Phoenix (35-15 SU, 22-27 ATS). The Wizards have been struggling of late, going 0-6 SU and 0-5-1 ATS in their last six games. The Suns haven't been much for gamblers recently either, watching the club go 0-4 ATS in their last four. Phoenix is 18-6 SU at home, but only 9-15 versus the number. The Wizards are allowing 102 PPG on the road, which has translated into a 9-14 SU and 12-10 ATS ledger. The 'over' is 15-8. The Suns have captured two straight and three of the last four against the Wizards, including a 122-107 win on Dec. 7 as 6 ½-point road favorites.

Indiana U vs. Ohio State
Play: Total: 129.5 Under
Indiana/Ohio State UNDER---- We have made a good amount of money riding the Big 10 UNDER trends. Today will be no different. Not that I favor the day of the week games are played on, but these are college kids so I guess after a Saturday night they are spent. Hoosiers are 15-6 under last 21 Sundays and the Buckeyes 12-2 . Ohio State is 6-1 under their last 7 5-1 versus' the Big 10. When playing against teams with win percentages greater than .600, Indiana is 7-1 under, OSU 6-2. Both these teams play tough nosed D. OSU has gone under 6 of the last 8 at home and the Hoosiers have gone 5-2 under their last 7 on the road vs teams with winning records. Look for OSU, nice and rested vs a defensive Indiana team to play a typical Big 10 54-50 type game with plenty of forced shots, turnovers, and bricks.

Re: Sunday Service Plays
Washington Wizards (24-25) at Phoenix Suns (35-15)
The struggling Wizards have cave in. Washington is hurting with injuries to key players and has lost six straight, going 0-5-1 ATS. They will have a big task when they face the Suns tonight at Phoenix. The Suns have won eight of their last 10 home games and have beaten the Wizards in ten of its last 13 games at US Airways Center.
The Suns are an 11 point favorite, a bit lofty for a team that has not been lucrative, just 1-3-1 ATS in its last 5 games and 2-4 ATS in its last 6 at home versus Washington. However, the high power Suns are averaging 109.7 points per game, while the Wizards are playing horribly, especially on the road, 9-14 this season. Washington is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games away from home and allowing an average of 102 points per game on the road. Look for Phoenix to pound the undermanned Wizards.
Phoenix Suns - 11

Bowling Green* over Toledo by 11
One-and-done afternoon for Toledo, a small team with shaky shooting going up against a zone defense that Bowling Green has switched to in the first season of new head coach Louis Orr.They haven't played much zone in the MAC, and these guards aren't used to it. Already, Toledo is a 39% Field Goal percentage team, only 66% from the foul line, and only 31% from three-point range. Clang, clang, clang, and nobody's home for the rebound.

At Deloitte, we provide intelligence on art as an asset class, as well as art-related advisory services to individuals, institutions and advisors that own or manage art assets worldwide.
We work closely with academic and professional experts who are at the top of research in art valuation and in the study of art as a financial investment, such as the Maastricht University, ArtTactic, ArtInsight, Mei Moses founders, Sotheby's Institute, etc.
Our intent is to monitor and create awareness of art as an asset class. In this context, we organize each year the Deloitte Art & Finance Conference that addresses the business opportunities art and collectible assets could generate.
Aware that private bankers and advisers are willing to respond to the recognition of art as an investment class, we also organise Art & Finance seminars to educate financial professionals. Those seminars are open forums for wealth management opportunities not only in terms of investments but also in terms of services associated to advisory and lending services.

Palomar College presidential candidate plays question and answer
SAN MARCOS -- No one could possibly accuse Richard Jarvis of being a dry speaker when he met with the public at Palomar College on Tuesday afternoon. Jarvis, one of two finalists for Palomar's presidency, took the podium in a soggy suit. He was caught in a rainstorm during a campus walking tour just minutes before the second of two presidential candidate forums commenced at the two-year community college.
About 100 people -- some faculty, some students, and some college employees -- braved the rain that raked North County on Tuesday to learn more about Jarvis' background and get a feel for how he communicates.
A similar group questioned finalist Robert Deegan on Monday.
Mark Evilsizer, a Palomar governing board member, asked Jarvis to explain his style of leadership.
Jarvis replied that he believes "you need to get out and hear the voices" to effectively lead a 30,000-student campus like Palomar. He said eye-to-eye communication with college employees and students is especially important in restoring trust in the administration. That trust reached a low point last year when the faculty gave former president Sherrill Amador a vote of no confidence.
Jarvis said being accountable in the decision-making process goes a long way toward building trust.
"It's the people whose advice you rejected that you owe an explanation to," Jarvis said. "If you don't, you lose the trust factor."
Another audience member wondered how Jarvis would react the first time the faculty disagreed with a decision he made that he believed was correct.
Jarvis said talking the matter over with the faculty is the answer.
"If I'm convinced that my decision is correct then that means I am able to explain it," Jarvis said.
Jarvis was asked several questions that were also posed to Deegan on Monday, including what he would do to improve the working conditions of part- time faculty.
Though his most recent jobs were as chancellor of the university systems in Oregon and Nevada, Jarvis said he has kept his classroom perspective by teaching a geology and environmental science class as a part-timer.
He said teachers need access to high-tech tools necessary to teach in this digital age and said he would continue to "go visit and listen" to part-time faculty.
Jarvis was also asked why he decided to leave his most recent job as chancellor of the Oregon university system and a similar job in Nevada.
He said that the Oregon Legislature dramatically cut funding for the state's higher education system and changed the role of the state board of education to deal with budget matters more than education.
"For me, it was no longer the job I was hired to do," Jarvis said.
In 1999, after several years running Nevada's higher education system as chancellor, Jarvis left to start United States Open University, an on-line college that eventually folded.
Bonnie Dowd, a Palomar business professor, asked Jarvis to explain why Open University failed and what he would do differently next time.
Jarvis said the university, an extension of the British Open University, was a victim of the short-lived Internet boom that crashed to earth in 2001. He said the university spent $28 million in three years but was unable to attract enough students to continue.
