Funders & Supporters: Funding a Crowdfunding Campaign
As a potential funder or supporter of a crowdfunding campaign you can make a huge difference in someone's life. Crowdfunding is an excellent way to bring together university communities for positive initiatives. Funders should look for certain characteristics when deciding which campaigns to support. The campaign description should be detailed and transparent, clearly explaining all the important facts. It should be clear to you what the idea is and should specifically state what the money will be spent on. Watching the campaign video is a great way to learn (and be entertained!) more about the product or cause.
Campaigners list relevant websites for their product or cause to be transparent and open. Many campaigners include social media links to allow you to verify the people involved and to interact with their Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest pages.
Once you are comfortable with the people, ideas and the rewards being offered help fund the campaign! These rewards are offered by the entrepreneur to give you an incentive to fund their dream. Rewards are usually based on the product, service or creative vision of the entrepreneur. Check out each campaign to find a reward that you want and then fund that campaign. If the fundraising goals are met entrepreneurs are responsible for delivering rewards following the conclusion of the campaign.

We feel it is important to help our community understand crowdfunding both for fundraisers and funders. That's why we're introducing UFunded University. These posts will look at the unique traits of crowdfunding and how it affects you. Since crowdfunding is so new there is not a lot of public information on the subject. One of the popular crowdfunding sites, Kickstarter, publishes detailed information on their crowdfunding campaigns (over 74,000+ campaigns) that we decided to analyze and compare with what we have seen at UFunded to date. We've broken down the data to share our best tips, advice and fun facts for your enjoyment!
Fact: 80% of Successfully Funded campaigns raise under $10,000
Fact: Only 8% of Successfully Funded campaigns raise over $20,000
UFunded Takeaway: So many entrepreneurs see the big dollar campaigns (greater than $20K) and think that it's common or easy to raise such a large amount of money. The truth is rewards-based crowdfunding is a great way to raise seed funding for your idea to test demand and help market it. The typical campaign never approaches angel or venture capital levels of investment. The overwhelming majority of crowdfunding campaigns are funded by your friends, family and fellow community members. There is no such thing as free money. You will need a strategy and a comprehensive marketing plan to engage your personal networks for the duration of your crowdfunding campaign to be successful.
There have only been 17 campaigns that have raised over $1M dollars. They receive so much attention from the media that it skews the perception of crowdfunding. Having a realistic approach to the process is important to avoid over-confidence and costly mistakes. We want you to be successful and fortunate enough to be one of the outliers that raises above $20K but you'll need a plan to get that far!
At UFunded you can expand your personal network by engaging your university community. Tapping into this supportive community will allow you to supplement and grow your potential sources of funding and help. We provide guidance and marketing support for each individual entrepreneur. We help you understand crowdfunding, tell your story, set a realistic funding goal, engage your university community and develop a comprehensive marketing plan.
Crowdfunding is hard work. As our successful campaigns (Pursuit, BRU, The LisaMom Foundation, Playtabase and MarketOSU) know, it's a full-time job raising money through a crowdfunding campaign. You need help to be successful. Don't be fooled by the myths of crowdfunding…have a plan, stay focused and be diligent!

Hey UFunders,
We are so grateful for a wonderful 2012 and here are some things we're looking forward to in 2013. It has been an amazing year for us and, more importantly, the incredible entrepreneurs that have used UFunded. We continue to be inspired by the passion, dedication and creativity entrepreneurs have shared with their university communities. Most of all thank you to our UFunded community of donors, entrepreneurs, mentors, advisors and advocates!
We founded UFunded to serve as the bridge that connects entrepreneurs with their university communities for capital, mentorship, exposure and expertise. Since launching this past June we have expanded to university communities across the country proving there is value in the connections we foster. As we continue to grow and expand here are some things for you to look forward to in 2013…
More University Communities
We continue to engage with more universities and entrepreneurs. Check out UFunded right now to see the great ideas that are currently raising money and looking for support from their university community.
Equity Crowdfunding
If 2012 is the year that rewards-based crowdfunding went mainstream then 2013 will be the year that equity crowdfunding goes mainstream. The SEC and FINRA will hopefully finish writing the investment rules for crowdfunding in 2013. This will allow virtually anyone to buy equity or ownership in companies that use crowdfunding portals like UFunded. What's the big deal? Right now it is illegal to go online and ask people to invest in your company through social media and sites like UFunded. That will all change in 2013 allowing more companies access to capital from their family, friends and university communities.
UFunded University: An Insiders View
The funny thing about doing something all the time is that you become better at it. And you learn important lessons that can help others. As we've become experts at crowdfunding there are many things we can share with both entrepreneurs and university communities to provide better value for everyone. In 2013 we'll begin sharing these lessons to the community to increase understanding of crowdfunding through our UFunded University series. Look for best practices on how to crowdfund, what to expect, how to engage without donating and tackling some of the misconceptions we hear from people.
We had such a good time with the 2012 Fall Classic that we're going to embrace that format for 2013. The Fall Classic showcased some outstanding entrepreneurs and had them competing over funding, social media buzz and support from their alma mater. In 2013 EVERY crowdfunding campaign will be ranked along these criteria and presented in our Leaderboard. This will let you compare the best campaigns of 2013 at any time. Let the games begin!
Cheers from us,The UFunded Team Have a safe and happy New Year!

The UFunded 2012 Fall Classic
Columbus, Ohio (October 11, 2012) –UFunded kicks off its first annual Fall Classic with three universities competing to find out who can raise the most capital, leverage social media and gain supporters for their entrepreneurial ideas.
Participants include:
- ***MarketOSU from The Ohio State University – a website that allows sellers of football tickets or old textbooks to connect with future buyers
- ***Case In Point from The University of Oklahoma – features an iPhone case that doubles as a set of speakers
- ***LisaMom Foundation from The University of Nebraska – a non-profit that aids families who have lost a loved one to cancer.
"We wanted to create an opportunity for university communities to help the entrepreneurs from their school. It is our way of transferring the pride, passion and excitement of a game day sporting event to entrepreneurship," said UFunded CEO Cuyler Hunter. "By adding a competitive element to crowdfunding, we make the experience more fun and engaging for everyone involved."
The Fall Classic winners will be announced this December. Each submission is awarded points based on criteria such as the amount of money that is raised and the number of funders, followers, Facebook "likes" and Twitter "tweets" the campaigns have. The overall number of points earned over 60 days will determine the winner of the Fall Classic. UFunded is accepting submissions through the end of October. Any new submission that is accepted will receive $500 to participate and will have an opportunity to win the Fall Classic.
MarketOSU is currently in the lead with 367.50 points, the LisaMom Foundation following with 234.30 points and Case In Point with 209.20 points.
UFunded is the only crowdfunding platform dedicated to accelerating entrepreneurship within university communities. "UFunded leverages the inherent affinity that alumni have for their alma mater" said Hunter. "We enable students, alumni and faculty to showcase their products, services and ideas to an existing but largely untapped network of alumni funders, advisors and collaborators."

Build your (Equity) Crowdfunding Portfolio
The excitement surrounding crowdfunding is at a fever pitch following the passage of the JOBS Act this past April. The JOBS Act will give non-accredited investors (people making less than $250K annually or with less than $1M in total net worth) the opportunity to invest in companies through crowdfunding in 2013. Before the laws were amended substantial legal barriers and regulations made it impractical for the non-accredited investors to financially support start-up companies. Why is this important and how does it affect your investment strategy?
Most people have rarely had the opportunity to acquire direct equity in a company unless it is through the stock market. At a basic level most people understand the value of investing in a 401K or the stock market. You invest money today hoping that it will be worth more in the future when you need it. It carries risk, and may lose value, but few people devote all their investable assets to the stock market or their 401K. We think crowdfunding will soon become as commonplace in your personal portfolio going forward.
Think about it like this. All the most buzzed about, well-known and profitable companies in the world had relatively humble beginnings. Today, everyone has heard of Google, Apple and Facebook. If you want to own a piece of their success you merely need to check the stock market and pay the going rate for their shares. But what if you could have gotten equity or a piece of ownership before the whole world realized they were highly successful companies? At a reasonable price? Before they did an IPO?
That's why you should be ecstatic over the JOBS Act. In the future, platforms like UFunded will allow you to track, invest and support start-ups and people you believe in. Companies will be able to raise up to $1M through equity financing. If you were one of the early fans of Facebook in 2005 and they raised money on a platform like UFunded would you have invested $100? Maybe $1,000? How excited would you be to own a piece of Apple when they first started making computers in 1979? Would you feel good about owning equity in Google before they went public?
Fast forward to today and think about how much your modest initial investment would have multiplied. That's why crowdfunding should get you excited. Now you will have incredible access and transparency into the next wave of innovative and game changing start-ups that need to raise capital. No investment is without risk and you should always be completely comfortable (mentally, emotionally & financially) with any investment you make.
UFunded will continue to follow the JOBS Act to make sure equity investment will benefit university communities. To date, we believe that communities built around shared university affiliations, traditions and values will be highly successful identifying and supporting the next Google, Apple or Facebook. Check back with us to stay updated on the JOBS Act and to develop your investment strategy. Excited yet?

June 10, 2012 – "Crowdfunding: It's more than just having an idea and collecting the money"
Interesting article (link) on some of the additional benefits of Crowdfunding. Check it out!
"The beauty of crowdfunding is it allows you to connect with your target audience from Day One, better engage them and create empathy. In many ways this is the holy grail of marketing — [customers are] emotionally invested in the outcome, personally interested and want to see you succeed. So half your branding and awareness battle has already been fought."
June 6, 2012 – "What You Need to Know From Crowdfunding"
Check out another article (link) in Forbes on important aspects of the JOBS Act.
- No SEC registration with Crowdfunding.
- Significant less Red Tape.
- Can raise up to $1 million of stock per year to unlimited number of investors.
- Individuals who earn less than $100k can invest up to $2k per company per year.

June 4, 2012 – "Crowdfunding Brings Start-Ups More Than Money"
Alina Dizik recently wrote an article (link) about how Crowdfunding helps Entrepreneurs with more than just money. Here are a few crucial things that Crowdfunding can assist in, besides just helping Entrepreneurs raise capital. Check it out!
1) Proof of Concept 2) Learn what Potential Customers Think 3) Lesson in Sales and Marketing 4) Learn the Size of your Customer Base 5) Organization Early on 6) Ideas for Future Projects
May 26, 2012 – Ever wonder how Crowdfunding became a discussion for Equity Investment?
Check out this article on the origin. Let's just say it had to do with a guy and a Pabst Blue Ribbon. I'm serious. – "Shaking Up Crowdfunding" Link
May 25, 2012 – How Angel Investors Can Benefit From Crowdfunding
As author Hall Martin points out in a recent article (link) in the Austin Business Journal, not only do Entrepreneurs benefit from crowdfunding, but Angel Investors can as well. Some benefits for Angels from crowdfunding and the new Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act include early stage validation (i.e. the crowd confirming the idea) and a new source of deal flow (similar to how Venture Capitalists benefited from Angel Investors entering the market.) Additionally, it is expected that Angel Investors will eventually partner up with crowdfunding sites to help this deal flow. Angel Investors can spread some of the risk associated with early stage companies and diversify their portfolio by choosing multiple startups to invest in. We look forward at UFunded to helping this trend grow and getting entrepreneurs the funding they seek.
April 6, 2012 – The Jumpstart Our Business Startup (JOBS) Act
As author Scott Gerber points out in his article "The JOBS Act Signing: A Giant Step for Entrepreneurship in America" (link), the JOBS Act has created significant positive steps for startups and entrepreneurs that are searching to get funding for their great ideas. Until now, the SEC limited the ability of investors to put forth capital into startups via crowdfunding by only allowing accredited investors to purchase equity. Just as UFunded does currently, crowdfunding allows supporters the ability to "donate" or "barter" with entrepreneurs to facilitate the growth of their great ideas. With the JOBS act, the game completely changes. Here is a list of some of the positive aspects of the new bill and the how it will help the entrepreneurs grow our economy.
-Reduces regulatory barriers for entrepreneurs to raise capital.
-Allows startups and small businesses to raise up to $1 million annually in equity using crowdfunding.
-An amendment from the Senate helps to protect investors against fraud.
-Capital investment helps to fuel growth in young, high growth businesses. This makes up 1% of all companies, but 10% of all new jobs each year.
-Great alternative to racking up debt, whether from small business loans or high rate credit cards.
-Limits how much equity an entrepreneur has to give up, which in turn helps fuel growth and hiring.
March 1, 2012 – Crowdfunding Equity Investment
This is shaping up as a great week for those of us who believe that crowdfunding should be used to raise equity capital for companies.
The President, Senate and House came out in support of bills that will relax SEC restrictions and make it easier for startups to access capital and expertise through crowdfunding sites. The bill eases disclosure requirements for startups while also protecting investors from fraud. This is great news for entrepreneurs and the investors who want to support them! You can learn more by visiting the Startup Exemption website.

How to Run a Successful Crowdfunding Campaign
December 30, 2011
UFunded's Top 10 Tips for a Successful Campaign
1. Create a video. Use a webcam, smartphone, tablet or camcorder to film your video. The video doesn't need to be long or professionally done but it will definitely increase the chances of getting UFunded. The most successful campaigns have videos that are anywhere from 1-5 minutes and really explain your cause.
2. Make it personal when setting up your campaign. People want to know the people, issues and importance of your campaign so this is your chance to shine. Once you create your video we will place it on our YouTube channel to help promote your campaign and get you added exposure.
3. Set a realistic fundraising goal. Explain how much money you need and what it will be used for. Giving visibility to the needs of your campaign will excite and motivate your Funders. There is no penalty for exceeding or falling below your goal. You can always run a follow up campaign in the future.
4. Have a sense of urgency with your campaign and your goal. Set a deadline and sprint to the finish! Campaigns are 90 days or less on UFunded so stay at it and make it happen!
5. Give peace of mind. UFunded is a 100% safe and secure site. No credit card information is shared with Campaigners or UFunded. Your protection is our priority and UFunded does not store any credit card information.
6. Share your campaign with social media tools. Your campaign video will go on our YouTube channel. Make sure you get the word out by sharing on your Facebook and Twitter pages. Social media is an easy and effective way to get the word out and go viral.
7. Keep your Funders updated on your Campaign's status. Remember they cared enough to give originally so keep them in the loop! New YouTube videos, Facebook posts and Tweets are great ways to engage your Funders.
8. Give awesome Funder Incentives. These incentives can give the perfect inspiration for more giving. The incentives can be simple and thoughtful like a thank you note or personal phone call. A business can offer a discount on a product or service. Artists can create unique pieces for Funders. Doing Funder incentives is optional, but the most successful campaigns use them to help motivate supporters.
9. Spread the love! Follow through on Funder Incentives. We'll make it easy for you and compile a list of your Funders to help you organize their cool gifts. Even if you don't create Funder Incentives still thank your supporters for helping make your campaign a success.
10. Enjoy the moment and share your passion! You started a campaign for a worthy cause, so dive in and make the most of it. Once Funders see your passion, devotion and hard work they will support you. UFunded can help U Make it Happen!

Whitworth Lindaman Chair James Waller to Present April 18 Lecture
In recent history, religious institutions have been notoriously silent, or even complicit, in the face of genocidal violence, according to Whitworth Professor of Psychology and Edward B. Lindaman Chair James Waller, who will present the 2007 Lindaman Lecture at Whitworth College. During his lecture, Waller will explore how religion, which has wielded such a tremendously civilizing effect on human society, can shape a culture in which genocidal violence may occur and how the church responds to such a culture both during and after genocidal violence.
Waller's lecture, "From Ruin to Renewal: Religious Institutions and Genocide," will take place on Wednesday, April 18, at 7 p.m. in the Robinson Teaching Theatre, in Weyerhaeuser Hall at Whitworth College. Admission is free. For more information, please call (509) 777-4738.
Waller's lecture is based on his research and analysis of the institutional Christian response to genocide during the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia-Herzegovina. In his evening presentation, Waller will address the following questions: Why do Christian institutions that should exemplify the human face of God in a suffering world fail to live out Christ's highest ideals? Why do those who should recognize the human face of God in their persecuted brothers and sisters fail to do so? What are the historical and ethical implications of Christian institutions' response to genocide – particularly in respect to fostering future periods of tolerance?
Waller's lecture is the fourth installment of the annual Lindaman Lecture, which is held at Whitworth each spring and features Whitworth's appointed Edward B. Lindaman Chair. The position is an endowed, rotating chair for senior Whitworth faculty who are engaged in significant regional and national academic initiatives and who contribute to public dialogue concerning important social issues. Waller's four-year appointment began in fall 2003.
In March 2007, Oxford University Press released the revised and updated second edition of Waller's book Becoming Evil: How Ordinary People Commit Genocide and Mass Killing (the first edition was published in 2002), which is used by universities worldwide in courses on Holocaust and genocide studies.
Waller is currently completing a book-length manuscript, tentatively titled Deliver Us from Evil: Genocide and the Christian World, and an essay on social science and the Holocaust to be included in the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Holocaust Studies. He is also the author of Prejudice Across America (University Press of Mississippi, 2000) and Face to Face: The Changing State of Racism Across America (Perseus Books, 1998).
Waller is the founder of two groundbreaking Whitworth off-campus study programs: Prejudice Across America, which he began in 1996; and Religion, Peace and Conflict in Northern Ireland, which he inaugurated in January 2006.
Waller's upcoming engagements include speaking at the April 24 community commemoration of the Armenian genocide; the commemoration will be held at St. Gregorios Syrian Orthodox Church of India, in Spokane. This summer, Waller will teach at the 2007 Summer Institute on the Holocaust and Jewish Civilization, at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. Later in the summer, he'll travel to Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, where he will deliver a paper on perpetrators of genocide as part of an invited presentation at the biennial meeting of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. Waller will also participate in a pre-conference seminar held on the grounds of the former Auschwitz death camp in Krakow, Poland.
Located in Spokane, Wash., Whitworth is a private, liberal arts college affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). The college, which has an enrollment of 2,500 students, offers 53 undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
James Waller, professor of psychology and Edward B. Lindaman Chair, Whitworth College, (509) 777-4424 or email@example.com.
Kathy Fechter, program assistant, psychology department, Whitworth College, (509) 777-4739 or email@example.com.

You have to check out this video from Ana Arujo… it's a hoot. She's trying to convince her daughter that dough ornaments are a good thing… and her daughter is not enjoying the mess.
That being said, bread dough ornaments ARE fun, easy, and cheap!!!! They would be fun to make on a snow day, or to minimize the wait, you could always make up the "blanks"- baked circles- and then just have the kids decorate them. Wouldn't this be fun with a girls scout troup, classroom, or even as an activity in a nursing home? It's so inexpensive, it's a great craft even in this economy.
Here's a basic salt dough recipe:
- ½ cup salt
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup water
Just mix together until the dough is formed. Then roll it out, and cut it with cookie cutters in the shape of your choice. Bake at 250 F for 2 hours until they are all dried out. Paint with acrylics, decoupage, sprinkle with glitter, go wild. You'll want to make sure that it's sealed well with paint, glaze or decoupage medium to keep them intact for years to come. Kaboose has some good ideas to check out, too!
Go get messy and happy crafting!

Women Top Games
While it is believed that women play more of online casino slots than any other casino games, which has been proved by polling stats, there are different views as to what women really like to play. Recently women have also been playing online roulette at online casinos. These changes have been brought about after they have learnt the nuances of other casino games and now trying their hands at something different.
Women are also seen playing table games more often though traditionally have been more popular with the men. Roulette has so much of a similarity to Bingo with the only difference being the card in a game of bingo, while the outcome is still determined by randomly drawn numbers, and women are lured to playing this exciting game and engaging game.
It is a proven fact that women play roulette and other online casino games for true entertainment and to make some good money. Women gamblers are good managers and exercise a lot of patience while playing, so they normally turn out to be players that spend a longer time at an online casino. This has been analyzed on the gaming portal onlinecasinoclub.com.
In days gone by slot machines (single arm bandit) were played extensively by women who waited for their husbands in bars, restaurants etc., and the popularity of the slot game had originated in those bygone eras. The theme based ones are now catching up with both the gents and the ladies and are played extensively across casinos.
Recently a mother of four had won the 'Egg Roulette' championship in Petersburg in the US, a very innovative and creative change to the traditional roulette with chips. The game was played using boiled eggs. The skill of playing casino games really does not end with just one or two of them, but women are actually having a go at all variations that are made available. Interestingly more women gamble online and now with the freedom of playing from the comfort of their homes in pajamas and sweats, or between the household chores and taking care of husband and children, the options are so many such that more and more women gamble online nowadays.
With the variety of slots and other casinos games that are made available to online players, the number of women gamblers are likely to be on the rise while they enjoy a favorite game of their choice be it at a land based casino or online.

Pandemics being what they are, often prone to panic type thinking and behavior, it is little surprise that swine flu has been given so much attention. In the early outbreaks of the virus, it was not uncommon to see people in Mexico's major cities wearing protective masks. They even closed many of the ports of call on both coasts causing the cruise industry to cancel many cruises with Mexican destinations. In June of this year the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it officially 'pandemic' with the virus having spread to more than 70 countries. There had also been cases reported in every one of the 50 United States. Then it seemed to back-off. There were fewer cases and deaths reported, the panic seemed to abate, the ports were reopened and hygiene campaigns seemed to take center stage. Now the flu season has arrived and a renewed interest has emerged by the agencies responsible for the tracking, reporting and preventing of this very kind of outbreak.
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has only issued routine guidelines up until this point but states they expect the cases of swine flu, now categorized as novel influenza A or H1N1, to rise with regular flu during the flu season. Cases in the United States are ongoing with some having increased intensity.
H1N1 is transmitted just like normal flu through droplet infectivity (sneezes and coughs) but is also transmitted via surface (door handles, stair railings) contamination. Apparently studies have shown that the H1N1 (fig. 1) can live on surfaces two-to-eight hours after being deposited. In light of this, it is even more important than ever to make sure shared work spaces are decontaminated frequently. This includes counter surfaces, keyboards, telephones, and other common use shared items.
Flu symptoms are numerous and people should be aware of classic signs before they occur.: fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, fatigue and, sometimes, diarrhea and vomiting.
It is important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever and not all of the signs and symptoms may be present. The other issue that has arisen and is truly problematic for all the human resource directors is the recommendation for all employees who present illness of this type be sent home (or remain at home) for a week's (seven day recommendation) convalescence and to remain at home for at least 24 hours past their last incidence of fever and without the use of any fever-reducing medications. The CDC also does not recommend that persons seek medical care unless absolutely necessary. Here is where the problem arises for HR as many of these persons will not have doctors' notes to present for their time off work. It is also not recommended that they be required to have one as this creates an undue and, according to the CDC, an unnecessary burden on the medical community.
Decontamination follows routine procedures and the use of standard germicidal cleaners (or 1:10 sodium hypochlorite solution if allowed) will suffice, but special attention must be paid to the common contact surface areas. It is also encouraged to frequently wash hands in warm water and soap and avoid touching your mouth, nose and eyes. In the absence of soap and water, "waterless" hand sanitizers may be substituted. These are alcohol based, gel in style products that should be used freely, fully wetting the hands and rubbed until dry. They are inexpensive for a large size container. Invest in one and use it.
So, what about total protection via a vaccination program? Well, that is here but there is not? enough of the virus vaccine to completely go around yet. Target groups will be the first to receive
the initial dosages. It takes time, not only to manufacture, but to isolate, develop and of course, clinically test any new vaccine. Are you in a target group? Health care workers and emergency workers are at the top of the list because of the vast exposure to the patient population. The young and elderly come next and pregnant mothers and those who care for dependant children (child care workers) are also slated to receive the vaccine. So have your agency check with the local health district, and see what the current information about the vaccine is, get your people inoculated and get the protection necessary. Visit vaccine sources at http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/vaccination/statecontacts.htm. This is a full state reference for contact points for the vaccine. Your agency may even become a provider for the vaccine as this may help with its dissemination to the general public. Use good public relations tools. You can never have too many of those.
In the mean time, wash your hands. That has always been the forte for health care workers and now is not the time to back off. Lather soapy water for the time it takes to sing "Happy Birthday." Rinse and dry with paper towels or air dry. Remember to use a paper towel to open the bathroom door.

SCOTX: Postjudgment Interest—All Accrual Dates Are Not Created EqualPosted in Appellate Practice, Opinions & Judgments, Procedure, Supreme Court Orders, Texas Supreme Court, Trial Courts
Statutes that appear clear are oft fraught with unanswered questions. This is unsurprising, as drafters cannot anticipate every scenario when crafting legislation. Falling into that vein, last week, the Texas Supreme Court decided a previously unaddressed question regarding the accrual date of postjudgment interest under the Texas Finance Code. In Long v.

Use Care When Drafting Trial-Court OrdersPosted in Procedure, Trial Courts
A lawyer heading into a trial-court hearing should draft a favorable order and have it on hand in case the judge is inclined to rule then and there.

Holy Cross head men's soccer coach Elvis Comrie and athletic director Richard M. Regan, Jr., announced the team's Fall schedule this morning. The 2006 Crusaders are set to host eight home games - seven of which will be night contests - on the program's brand new Linda Johnson Smith Stadium, which has been under construction since last Spring.
The state-of-the-art stadium features a top-quality grass surface, aluminum stands for approximately 1,250 spectators, lights, a press box, and a scoreboard, all surrounded by a fence and an attractive entrance.
The Crusaders will open the season at Quinnipiac on Aug. 27, before their home opener on the new field against Maine on Sept. 2. Holy Cross will then host a night game against St. Bonaventure on Sept. 8, before traveling to the UMass Tournament where the team will face Siena on Sept. 10.
Holy Cross stays on the road for a game at Sacred Heart (Oct. 12), in preparation for Patriot League play, which begins on Sept. 16 with a home match against Bucknell. Conference games at Lehigh (Sept. 23) and against Navy (Sept. 30) in Worcester are slated in between non-conference games against Northeastern (Sept. 19) and Providence (Sept. 26).
The Crusaders begin October in Washington, D.C., when they meet up with 2005 Patriot League Regular Season Champion, American on Oct. 7.
Holy Cross is then back in Worcester for its final home contests of the season when it hosts New Hampshire (Oct. 10), Army (Oct. 14), and Harvard (Oct. 17). The Crusaders are on the road for their final three games of the season when they travel to Lafayette to face the 2005 Patriot League Tournament Champions on Oct. 21, before heading to Hartford (Oct. 24) and Colgate (Oct. 28), where it will close out the regular season.
The 2006 Patriot League Tournament is slated for November 3-5 on the campus of the field's highest seed.
The Crusaders, who finished the 2005 campaign with an 8-8 overall record and a 2-5 mark in Patriot League play, will return six starters, including First Team All-Patriot League selection, Josh Trott.

Cool to see how much she cools the water for the first rinsing…once the leaves are acquainted with the hot water it looks like she poured boiling straight on. Perhaps I'll need to start cooling off my water a bit more than I do for that initial wash. Thanks for sharing this video David!
The first thing I thought was "Wow, that's a huge pile of discarded leaves!" It's cool to see how much she tosses the water back and forth to cool.
was there any sound to this? thought my volume was broken… i do mine kinda like this! just not so sloppy! just got my tea today. will have some fun with it! how many infusions did she end up getting from this?
Thanks so much for sharing this with us David. I have to admit I had to watch it more than once because I was distracted by her beautiful teaware.
I'm going to have to try out this traditional brewing technique once I get a gaiwan.
Such an interesting video…I was wondering why she was pouring the water back and forth, cooling it definitely makes sense! I doubt I could do this without burning my fingers, but it would be worth it I' sure!

The Angels continue to revamp their bullpen as they have now signed left hander Sean Burnett to a two-year $8mm deal, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports.

NICEVILLE — A career is important, but not everything, when it comes to the future of senior Kyle Marocchini.
The Niceville High School student is planning for a life that balances work, family and community service.
"I have absolutely no doubts," the 18-year-old said. "I know I can do it."
Read all of this year's graduation stories. >>
Since his freshman year, Kyle has not only taken accelerated courses, but he's been an active participant in the Civil Air Patrol and at his church.
Kyle looked into the military-affiliated organization at the recommendation of a friend after moving back to Okaloosa County just before he started high school.
Once there, he found an outlet to explore the passion for radio communications he learned from his grandfather and a way to assist his community during emergencies.
"I think it's opened my eyes in how I can help others," he said. "I can do something right here, right now."
He likely won't follow in his grandfather's or father's footsteps and join the military, but when he heads off to Princeton University, he will look to join the Civil Air Patrol in nearby Trenton, N.J.
While at the school, he will pursue a bachelor's degree, as well as a master's, to launch his career into aerospace engineering.
He might get a Ph.D. or he might not.
He will likely stay on the East Coast — a place he can experience all seasons, but he won't forget the four years he spent at Niceville taking classes, participating in the Academic Team and NaGisa or how hard he worked on those four essays to get into his top-choice college.
"It's like all these struggles; it's really been difficult, but it feels really good to graduate," he said. "I'm proud of what I did — it's paid off, I'm going to Princeton."
Grab a copy of Thursday's paper for a keepsake page devoted to the Niceville High School graduates. Graduation will be held June 5 at 7 p.m. at the school's stadium.

Very Quiet Fridge
By Beach Lady
from Virgina
This fridge is super quiet. I can barely hear it when I first wake up and the house is silent. After that, I hear nothing. My only complaint is the shelves. They are not adjustable and will fit only soda cans. We do not drink a lot of soda but have juice in bottles. The bottles won't fit and I have to lay them down. Our wine bottles only fit on the top wine rack. Overall I am happy as I really wanted a quiet machine. It's just not as flexible as I would have liked.

Bor — Close to 80,000 heads of cattle have been raided from Pajut cattle camp in an attack on Twice East County in which two people were killed, South Sudan officials reported on Monday.
On Sunday evening, between 5 and 6pm local time, a group of armed militias surrounded the camp, not far from the border between Bor-Twice East counties.
Scores have been killed and others injured in series of attacks and raids across Jonglei since the turn of the year.
The spokesperson of South Sudan's army (SPLA) spokesman, Colonel Philip Aguer, who happened to be in the area when the attack took place, during the time of the attack, described the raid as "well organized".
He added that two elderly people were killed in the attack, including the father of SPLA colonel Kuol Atem Pai, and another man by named Monydhot.
Listen to 'SPLA spokesperson Philip Aguer on Jonglei raids 1' on Audioboo
Aguer furthered added, "all the cattle were taken" by the raiders who were in military uniform resembling that of the Sudan Armed Forces [SAF]. South Sudan regularly accuses Khartoum of backing a rebellion in Jonglei State's Pibor County, led by David Yau Yau.
The SPLA began a disarmament campaign in Jonglei to try and stop the cycle of raids and counter raids that killed around 2,000 people over the last two years. However, some groups avoided the process, including Yau Yau's rebel group causing instability.
Many cattle raids in Jonglei are now blamed on Yau Yau's rebellion but some politicians in Jonglei said recently that they doubt all the raids can be blamed on his group. They instead blame the SPLA's failure to disarm the Murle tribe, who come live in Pibor.
Listen to 'SPLA spokesperson Philip Aguer on Jonglei raids 2' on Audioboo
A small SPLA unit from the villages around Pajut, joined by another SPLA forces deployed at Jale village of Bor County, and another force sent from the SPLA disarmament team in Jonglei are pursuing the raiders, Aguer said.
"It was followed by youth who are well armed, some are armed by spears, and few soldiers from the area. Now we were told that these few soldiers were joined force that was near Arial in Jale, and another two from the comp bodies were sent from the headquarters of disarmament", said Aguer.
According to Aguer, who spoke directly with the head of disarmament force in Jonglei, Kuol Diem Kuol after the attack, the SPLA and youth pursuing the raiders and the cattle, were given orders do their best to following the cattle.
He urged the Jonglei State government and the local authorities to deploy the police and other organized forces to help the army in protecting the civilians and their properties.
Twice East County commissioner Dau Akoi, however, blamed the army for the attack, saying the two SPLA units deployed behind the cattle camp did not properly patrol the area to counteract the advancing forces of David Yau Yau in the area.

Akoi described the attack as more serious than previous attacks, considering the number of assailants and their organisation. He said the group were armed with many rifles, rocket launchers, [RPGs 7], PKM and the other machine guns.
He doubted whether SPLA pursuers would actually rescue the cattle, as they had spent Monday with without any significant result.
"The situation at the moment, the army is still perusing the cattle as they said, but we are not sure that the cattle can be recovered again", said the commissioner.
The commissioner said the wounded victims of the attack were taken to Bor civil hospital for treatment.
A 25-year-old-man from Twice East told Sudan Tribune in Bor on Monday, that he condemned the attack, pointing out that it could prevent his plans to get marry his fiance in February.
Some of the stolen cows would have been used to pay the traditional bride price, he said.
About Twice East, the state governor, Kuol Manyang declined to comment on the attack claiming that his health condition doesn't allow him to talk.
Speaking on the phone to Sudan Tribune from an undisclosed location, Manyang said he his was suffering from hypertension and so was not able to speak.
"I will not comment, that is impossible, because of blood pressure, this will not allow me to talk". He said he had passed "two days now without speaking to anybody", he said.

How a Flowery Plant is Fighting Malaria in TanzaniaPosted on Friday, March 15th, 2013 at 11:12 am
By Crystal Wells, Communications Officer, Concern Worldwide U.S.
Lovenes Joas, 22, sits on the edge of a metal-frame hospital bed, cradling her three-month-old daughter, Hapines Joas, in her arms. As she he tries to comfort her squirming daughter, Lovenes crushes up a soft yellow pill and mixes it with water. She tilts her daughter's head back to force the syrupy liquid down her throat. Hapines wails, tears streaming down her cheeks, and slowly settles back down to a whimper against her mother's chest.
Hapines is Lovenes' first daughter and at just three months old, she is already fighting malaria. Lovenes and Hapines share a bed with another mother and child, Stella Peter, 30, and Nizelesos Peter, 10 months, who is also being treated for malaria. "Malaria is a big problem in my family," says Stella, raising her voice so that we can hear her above the cries of a dozen or so children. "I am a farmer. Right now I could be farming, but I am here losing time because of malaria. It hurts the health of my kids…Even now [while I am here], my three-year-old at home has malaria, but no one is available to take him to the hospital."

American Custom Industries
(800) 822-8020
Brief description: American Custom Industries offers a variety of custom rear spoilers for '68-present Corvettes. These fiberglass spoilers range from the most subtle in styling to some of the more radical designs on the market today. Our proven hand-lamination process allows us to provide uniform thickness throughout our parts, resulting in the consistent quality and durable construction off of which we have built our reputation.
Trademark features: Since 1968, American Custom Industries (ACI) has strived to design and manufacture the best fiberglass Corvette parts in the world. All of our molds and parts are prototyped and developed by ACI in our in-house R&D department. All of our parts are manufactured on site from the highest-quality materials to provide our customers with the best product available. All products are hand-laminated by skilled professionals and inspected to ensure they will meet the expectations of our customers.
Quote from company: "Styling with attitude!"
APR Performance Inc.
(909) 594-3796
Brief description: Our Corvette rear-deck spoiler can be used alone or in conjunction with other aerodynamic components to improve the overall efficiency of your vehicle's aero package. Its benefits include reducing rear end lift, increasing downforce, and reducing drag when used with other aero components (i.e., rear wing, rear diffuser, and so on).
Trademark features: To start the manufacturing process, we use prepregnated carbon-fiber material, which gives more consistent resin saturation than a non-prepregnated material. The epoxy resin gives better part characteristics than other materials, which often shrink too much or don't hold together well. We "lay in" the amount of carbon-fiber layers the part design requires; then, once all the material is placed in the mold, we position a bladder inside and close the mold. The process cures the part inside the autoclave at a specified temperature, pressure, and duration. Each manufacturing step is carefully monitored to ensure a high-quality part with a beautiful finish.
Quote from company: "APR's goal is to make sure you always receive a high-quality carbon-fiber product in the timely manner you deserve. Each product undergoes a thorough inspection to insure satisfactory fitment and function."

The Healthcare.gov website is incredibly insecure, so much so that a white hat hacker was able to find its records of 70,000 people through an advanced Google search.
The hacker is David Kennedy, who also started TrustedSec, which is a security firm, and he has been warning people and the government about the insecurity of the website for a while now. He even testified about it in November to a Congressional committee.
"I don't understand how we're still discussing whether the website is insecure or not. It is; there's no question about that. It is insecure – 100 percent," he said, and added in blog post earlier that "out of the issues identified last go around, there has been a half of a vulnerability closed out of the 17 previously disclosed and since my last appearance, other security researchers have also identified an additional 20+ exposures on the site."
Kennedy said that he was able to access the Healthcare.gov records of 70,000 people, in only a few minutes, through a Google search, and that while he had stopped at 70,000, he could have gone higher. "70,000 was just one of the numbers that I was able to go up to. And I stopped after that. You know, and I'm sure it's hundreds of thousands, if not more and it was done within about a four-minute time frame. So, it's just wide open. You can literally just open up your browser, go to this and extract all this information without actually having to hack the website itself," he said to Fox News Sunday.
Kennedy isn't alone in his analysis of the Healthcare.gov website. Other elite white hackers such as Chris Nickerson, Kevin Mitnick, Ed Skoudis, John Strand and more have have signed statements to that effect. Kennedy also added that "everything that we've seen from the website is a symptomatic problem of a much larger issue of how they code the website so I'd be very concerned with using it."

I can't find in any reports specifics of what information was leaked in those 70,000 records. It could be anywhere from innocuous anonymized data to serious stuff like social security numbers. Without that information, I don't know how to interpret the severity of this report.
Apart from that, though, I do suspect that the site is highly vulnerable.
On a related note, I helped a friend sign up for one of the new health plans directly through the insurance company (Medical Mutual), rather than through the healthcare.gov site. Our intention was to avoid putting her information into the potentially insecure site.
We did find advantages to signing up this way. The insurer actually offered lower rates when not going through the government site, and they offered a "platinum" level plan that wasn't available on the site. On the down side, if you qualify for subsidies, then enrolling directly with the insurer means that you can't take the subsidy as a reduction in your monthly rates, but rather as a year-end tax credit.
But what about the hoped-for security benefits? I can attest that we had nothing to worry about from an insecure enrollment website, because the insurer had no enrollment website at all. Their enrollment process consisted of emailing us a PDF of their form, us filling out the form, scanning it, and emailing it back to them. That's right, they required that the completed form, including SSN (and credit card # or checking account #, if you used those payment options) be sent in plain, unencrypted email. That made me feel a lot more secure!
Perhaps this was only Medical Mutual, and other insurers are able to do something a little more secure than that. I certainly hope so.

Surveys released this morning show an improving IPO market, and innovative entrepreneurs have venture capitalists feeling more confident. iStockphoto
A pair of surveys released this morning point to positive feelings about venture capital fundraising from startup entrepreneurs and the venture capitalists who bankroll them.
The quarterly San Francisco Bay Area venture capital survey, put together by University of San Francisco professor Mark Cannice, shows a solid jump in confidence for VCs in the most important center of the industry. And CEOs surveyed by law firm Dorsey & Whitney LLP feel better about tapping into traditional venture capital firms for cash this year than they did in 2010.
"It's definitely a big spike," Cannice told Portfolio.com, referring to the index of Silicon Valley venture capitalists' sentiment. Cannice's confidence index rose to 3.70 on a 5-point scale in the first quarter, from 3.27.
The past three quarters had seen eroding confidence among venture capitalists. Cannice attributed the rebound to positive results from such initial public offerings as that of Zynga and, more recently, Splunk and the anticipation that public markets are opening up to new companies.
"The main driver of confidence is clearly the sale of products," and in the case of venture capitalists, those products are the companies in which they invest; the sales either come in the form of public offerings or mergers and acquisitions.
Another factor boosting confidence among Silicon Valley's venture capitalists is the growth of new areas in which to invest—the social, mobile, and cloud-computing revolutions.
If the Valley's venture capitalists are in an improving frame of mind, so are the entrepreneurs who depend on VCs to fund their operations.

Modified Mustangs & FordsProject Vehicles
Dynamat Install - Quiet The Chaos
Dampen your Mustang's bad sounds so you can better hear the good ones
Project Generation Gap started out innocently enough as a father and son buildup of a classic Mustang that, when completed, would be a near daily-driver for said son. While we've both gotten our hands dirty on much of the project's dissasembly, the majority of the work to date has been a lot of automotive "heavy lifting" such as sheetmetal repairs, paint and body, and much more. We've both been pretty hands off because, well, we're not paint and body guys. Few of our readers are and I'm sure they understand the situation. Whether it's a transmission, an engine, or a paintjob, sometimes you just have to hand over your project, write a check, and wait for it to come back all smooth and shiny.
Well, ours is back, and thanks to the crew at Classic Creations of Central Florida (and our good friend Allen Colding for the wet sanding and buffing) our fastback is now smooth and shiny as well. It's time to move forward, roll up our sleeves, and get busy with the final assembly!
So now that our fastback is back home and ready to be assembled, we're going to get our butts in gear and wrap this Mustang project up by year's end (we know the cover of the magazine says August, but it's just the first week of May as I write this). Much of the assembly, including fuel and brake plumbing, wiring, and so forth can easily be handled by the two of us with the Mustang at home in the garage and we should need very little outside help from here on out, except for possibly some custom exhaust work and an alignment, both near the bottom of our punch list right now.
Of course, before we can work on the wiring and other interior items like glass, audio, and so forth, we wanted to give the fastback a fighting chance to be as comfortable and as quiet as a new car. At this point in the project, with a painted, yet bare, body, it was the perfect time to enhance our Mustang with some sound and heat control products from Dynamat.
Dynamat Xtreme is a butyl vibration dampening product that is bonded to a thin aluminum sheet. Together, they conform and adhere to various sheetmetal panels in your car to dampen road noise, eliminate "oil canning," and enhance audio system efficiency. We've used Dynamat on numerous projects in the past with great success, but one of the biggest hurdles to installing the product was determining how much and where to install it. Then, being able to accurately cut and install the product to the section of sheetmetal without waste.
Well, Dynamat has introduced a new product line, Dynamat Xtreme Custom Cut, for many popular muscle cars, including the '64-1/2-'73 Mustang (we're told newer Mustangs are on the list for future kits). The Custom Cut product eliminates waste, is much easier to install, and reduces installation time. Dynamat has Custom Cut kits for the entire car, including the main floor, under the rear seat, doors, trunk, and roof panel. Of course, you can still buy the standard Dynamat Xtreme in sheets for custom installations (consoles, engine compartment, speaker enclosures, and more). We also opted to include Dynamat's Dynaliner, a closed-cell foam insulation, over our Custom Cut installation to aid in thermal blocking. Read on to see just how easy the Custom Cut installs and stay tuned for more assembly stories on our fastback.

Lin's previous positions in government and international organizations gave him opportunities to see the things that work and don't work in growing economies of developing nations. Now that Dr Lin has stepped down from chief economist at the Bank, he is set on answering the most elusive of economic questions: How do developing economies grow? In his book THE QUEST FOR PROSPERITY: How Developing Economies Can Take Off, Lin focuses on what developing nations can do to help themselves, without the need of international assistance or influence, drawing on a lifetime's worth of research in international economics, from China to the World Bank. Illustrated with lessons from history, economic analysis, and practice, Lin examines how the countries that have succeeded in developing their own economies have actually done it. He shows that economic development is a process of continuous technological innovation, industrial upgrading, and structural change driven by how countries harness their land, labour, capital, and infrastructure. By following this "new structural economics" framework, Lin shows how even the poorest nations can grow at eight percent or more continuously for several decades, significantly reduce poverty, and become middle- or even high-income countries in the span of one or two generations.
