The global law firm Eversheds, based in London, has teamed up with LawWithoutWalls, the groundbreaking legal and commercial education project led by the University of Miami School of Law, in a first-ever collaboration.
The agreement was announced by Bryan Hughes, Chief Executive of Eversheds, and LawWithoutWalls' co-creators, Michele DeStefano, an Associate Professor at Miami Law, and Michael Bossone, Special Advisor to Patricia D. White, the law school's dean. Lawyers from Eversheds' worldwide operation and clients of the firm will bring their practical expertise to students from 18 universities around the world who are taking part in LawWithoutWalls' 2013 program, which will launch on Jan. 19-20 in Segovia, Spain.
Hughes called it "unique, practical training," in which students "develop innovative business solutions specific to the legal sector and present these ideas to a panel of venture capitalists and legal industry experts" at the course's conclusion in April at the University of Miami.
"LawWithoutWalls is about developing a future generation of lawyers who are commercial, innovative, digitally-savvy and global thinkers," Hughes said of the program, under which leaders from business and academia mentor the next generation of legal and business students to help them attain real-world commercial skills.
"We are absolutely delighted to have Eversheds as the global law firm to participate in LawWithoutWalls," Dean White said. "We were seeking to include a major global law firm which embraces innovation, technology, and the highest standards of quality and service. Eversheds is a perfect choice."
Professor DeStefano and Bossone said they were very pleased with the collaboration with Eversheds and its promise of meeting the challenges of today's global legal marketplace.

Columbia Housing is looking for alternative ways to reduce lockouts without charging students.
Previously, Housing had proposed implementing a policy to charge students $5 after their third visit to the Hartley Hospitality Desk to pick up a spare key, and $20 after the second time their key was delivered to their room.
But after negative student reactions, Housing is considering making students who have repeated room lock-outs meet with their graduate housing directors or associate directors to discuss the problems rather than pay a fee for key loans. The $20 fee for repeated key assists would stay in place.
"Taking into consideration student feedback and evaluating together with its advisory committee and Residential Programs, Housing is still finalizing details of the new policy," a spokesperson for Columbia Housing said in a statement. "It will still include a fee structure for key assists, but may take an approach with key loans similar to the current Residential Programs administrative conduct process. However, these details need to be further vetted within Housing and Residential Programs."
The spokesperson added that the goal is to make a "close-to-final" policy decision by Room Selection and to pilot the program in September 2014.
According to records supplied by Columbia College Student Council student services representative Christopher Godshall, CC '15, an average of 1,600 students are locked out of their rooms each month. Housing hopes to reduce that number with the policy change.
Godshall met with representatives from Housing last week to discuss alternative solutions after hearing student concerns.
"This is a better way to get these numbers down for borrowed keys when you go to the desk yourself," Godshall said.
Godshall said that meeting with residential life staff after three room lockouts would be more effective than charging students.
"If their goal is to change behavior, a more effective way to do that would be to talk to that student and follow up with that student if they're continuing to exhibit the behavior they're trying to change versus just charging them," Godshall said.
Godshall added that a charge "in a way, kind of condones the behavior."
The discussion comes after Sinclair Target, CC '15, started a petition against the proposed charge, which garnered more than 290 signatures from students as of Sunday. Target said he supported the newly suggested policy change.
"I think it's a much better alternative," Target said. "This is at least addressing the problem directly. They're trying to help people remember their keys rather than just punishing them for being forgetful, which I don't think is very fair."
Target said that many students were turned off by Housing's proposal to charge them for lockouts.
"A lot of people thought it was unfair to charge students for something they were already trying their best not to do," Target said. "The money was an issue and Columbia charges a lot for a lot of things, and they didn't think it was a good idea to be charged more for something else."
Godshall said that he did think the $20 charge for repeated key assists would remain in place.
"They just can't have hospitality desk people running around like that. They're going to do something about it," Godshall said. "The numbers were so high that they say they were going to hire a new person to take care of this if the numbers were to stay where they are."
Godshall also contextualized the cost of hiring a new employee as roughly equivalent to buying new desk chairs for all of the dorms in Hartley, while the funds that Housing had anticipated receiving from the fine would roughly equal the cost of desk chairs for one floor.
"There's really nothing we can do about it. They're pretty determined," Godshall said. "I think that from the comments, people were more okay with this policy than the other one."
good to see Housing consider an alternative, but the proposed plan is almost worse. i am an adult. i do not need a meeting with an advisor to tell me off for forgetting my key. just like warnings for underage alcohol possession, these meetings will, in all likelihood, change nothing. where time will be saved for those working in Hartley, time will be wasted for both students and the Residential Program administration.
again, this whole policy seemingly revolves around the idea that students purposefully lock themselves out. stop fucking about with stuff that does not need fucking with.

Hey im looking for FMA training in louisville kentucky. Arnis/eskrima/kali it doesent really matter which one it is. Ive got a unique situation though, i absoliutely cant stand regular MA schools. They charge exorbitant fees and generally dont care much about their students. What im looking for is more like a club or a group of friends that practice together. A guro that teaches out of his garage is really what im looking for, or something along those lines anyways. Just somebody that can teach is satisfactory for me. I dont mind paying some money, but $110 a month is just rediculous. I know im gonna get alot of static for this but whatever, this is just how I like things.

I have no idea what relative costs are out there. I don't think most people are going to, so mostl likely you'll have to deal with that yourself.

President Barack Obama's stance on gay marriage has led James Burnett of Norfolk Bible Baptist Church to question the Commander in Chief's faith.
"I'm disappointed in him as a leader because he says he is a Christian and a Christian values marriage as a man and a woman," said Burnett.
Burnett didn't support the president in 2008, and he sure won't vote for him now.
Today's news only further discourages him.
"A lot of people say they're Christians," says Burnett.
Reverend Mark Byrd of New Life Metropolitan Community Church supports gay marriage.
He welcomed the president's stance especially after Amendment One passed in North Carolina creating another hurdle for same-sex marriage there.
"Anytime the president speaks out against discrimination, I think it is a positive thing for all of us and I would encourage the president to continue to do that and maybe even use a little stronger language," Byrd says.
Four years ago, President Obama said he only supported civil unions and was against same-sex marriage.
"The word marriage was something that invokes very powerful traditions, religious beliefs and so forth," Obama says.
The administration has said the president's views on the issue have "evolved."
His likely republican opponent in November's election, Mitt Romney, opposes same-sex marriage.
"My view is that domestic partnership benefits, hospital visitation rights and the like are appropriate but the others are not," former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney says.

Reference is made to my copending application, filed on July 31, 1980, Ser. No. 174,156, for "MULTI-FACETED HOLOGRAPHIC OPTICAL ELEMENT AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING SAME".
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to data processing systems, and pertains more particularly to an optical system of this type utilizing a holographic optical element for splitting and redistributing input energy into output energy representative of certain mathematical data.
2. Description of the Prior Art
There are many mathematical operations in which an array of output data is obtained from multiplying an array of input data by a set of fixed numerical values arranged in a matrix. An example of such a vector-matrix multiplication operation would be, for instance, the performance of a discrete Fourier transform on an input vector. Here, an N element input vector would be multiplied by an M×N matrix to obtain an M element output vector.
Such a multiplication process can, of course, be implemented by a digital computer. Present digital computers, however, carry out operations serially so that if the vector and matrix are large, several minutes of computation might be required. Optical systems, on the other hand, can perform the requisite multiplications in parallel so that the entire operation can be completed in the nanosecond to microsecond time range.
The problem in optical computing is centered around the redistribution of the input light signals so as to provide appropriate output signals. One prior art redistribution method known to me employs fiber optics. Here, one bundle of optical fibers is illuminated by a light source whose intensity represents the value of one of the N numbers in the input vector. The fiber bundle is then divided into M sub-bundles with the number of fibers per sub-bundle being proportional to the values in one column of the matrix. The output ends of the sub-bundles are then located so that each sub-bundle illuminates one of M output detectors. The process is repeated for the other N inputs, each of which sends appropriately proportioned sub-bundles to the M output detectors.
The fiber method is limited because the number of fibers per bundle is relatively small (≈400) so that the relative light intensity redistribution cannot be performed very accurately. The system is also difficult to replicate because each of the many fibers must be individually connected. Obviously, where vast amounts of data are to be processed, the proper connecting of numerous optical fibers proves to be very costly.
The optical computing problem, as dealt with in this application, is reduced to finding a suitable method to take the light from N inputs and redistribute it with proper weighting to M outputs.
A general object of my invention is to provide a data processing system utilizing a relatively low cost holographical optical element for the light redistribution.
Another object is to achieve tremendous speed increases in the processing of mathematical data.
Yet another object of my invention is to provide a system for processing data that is quite versatile, rendered so by virtue of the inclusion therein of a readily constructed holographic optical element utilizing individual gratings contained in numerous facets.
Briefly, a holographic optical element when used in the practicing of my invention splits and redistributes the input light energy according to a given mathematical algorithm. In this regard, the holographic optical element constitutes a photographic film that has been divided into numerous facets. The facets themselves are also subdivided so that each sub-facet diffracts light into different areas or regions as far as an output plane is concerned. At the output plane is placed a bank of light detectors, so that whatever light energy strikes the plane due to the diffraction that takes place within the holographic optical element is representative of encoded mathematical output data. Light diffracted from a number of different facets can be directed to a given output area. In this latter situation, the sum of the intensities that are detected in the output plane will constitute the transformed mathematical data.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view in perspective exemplifying my system, and
FIG. 2 is a perspective view depicting one of the facets of FIG. 1 which has been greatly enlarged and which has been divided into a number of sub-facets for the purpose of distributing the input light derived from a light emitting diode.
In this description, it will be assumed that it is desired to implement an optical computing system which will multiply an N element input vector by an M×N matrix to produce M output signals, this being a rather general problem.
In FIG. 1, my system has been denoted generally by the reference numeral 10. Playing a very important role in the practicing of my invention is a holographic optical element indicated in its entirety by the reference numeral 12. Actually, the element 12 is a transformation hologram which splits and distributes light, all as will be more fully explained hereinafter. At this time, though, it is to be perceived that the element 12 is comprised of a number of volume facets 14 which in this example are arranged in horizontal and vertical rows. The width of a facet 14 is on the order of a centimeter or so and the number that have been depicted is only representative of a far greater number (N) of such facets.
At this stage it will be well to refer briefly to FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, only the facet 14 in the upper left-hand corner of the holographic optical element 12 is depicted. It is subdivided into M sub-facets in order to redistribute the input light in accordance with the predetermined mathematical operation (e.g., matrix multiplication) that is desired. Some of these sub-facets have been indicated by the reference characters 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e, 14f, 14g, 14h, etc.
It will be explained at this point that the input light that is directed onto the hologram or holographic optical element 12 consists of N beams with various intensities which represent the input data. The input light beams or wavefronts have been denoted generally by the reference numeral 16 in FIG. 1. The light 16 is produced from an electronic signal by energizing any or all of N light emitting diodes or it can be achieved optically by passing an enlarged laser beam through a film whose transmittance is proportional to the N input data values. For the sake of illustration, four LEDs 18, 20, 22 and 24 have been depicted, each being associated with one of the four facets 14 shown in the top row. A lens 26, as pictured in FIG. 2, is positioned between each LED 18-24 and the particular facet 14 with which it is positionally associated. It must be borne in mind, though, that a relatively large number of facets 14 are incorporated into the transformation hologram or element 12 and that there is one such LED 18-24 and one lens 26 for each of the N facets 14.
Considering only the upper left-hand facet 14 of FIG. 1, which facet 14 has been enlarged in FIG. 2, it can be seen that in this instance the light impinging on this particular facet from the LED 18, the input light being in the form of the beam 16a, is diffracted by the facet 14 and is split into M parts or angularly separated beams, several of which are illustrated and labeled 28a, 28b, and 28c. The diffraction results from the specific grating patterns that have been recorded in the facet 14, and more specifically by the individual grating components contained in sub-facets 14a-14h, etc. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the gratings within the facets 14a-14h deflect portions of the input light 16a to produce the several angularly related beams 28a-28c which will impinge or strike a target at different spatial locations in output plane 30 which can be a film or an array of detectors. If we assume the plane 30 to contain a detection array, then when the several beams 28a-28c strike or impinge upon the detectors, the light signals provided thereby are detected. The output locations thereof correspond to positions in the M element output data vector.
Owing to the rather small scale of FIG. 1, the upper left-hand facet 14 has been enlarged in FIG. 2, as already explained. Recapitulating, it is only necessary to recognize that the particular facet 14 that is now being examined is actually divided or composed of M sub-facets in order to redistribute the input light from one source in accordance with the appropriate mathematical weighting function. Stated somewhat differently, each sub-facet diffracts light into a different area or at a different location as far as the output plane 30 is concerned. Since the plane 30 has been somewhat arbitrarily considered to constitute a detector array, then, as already explained, the several points or areas labeled 30a, 30b, and 30c represent photo-diodes and are where the angularly related beams 28a, 28b, and 28c are detected.
Having presented the foregoing description, the manner in which my system 10 functions and the benefits to be derived from a practicing of my invention should be readily understood. Nonetheless, a brief operational description should make it clear as to the various advantages that are achievable. It should be understood that my system performs the general mathematical operation of multiplying an N element input vector by an M×N element matrix to arrive at an M element output. The values of the N inputs are represented by the intensities of N light emitting diodes such as the LED 18. Each LED illuminates one of the N facets 14 of the redistribution hologram 12. Each of the N facets is further subdivided into M sub-facets which serve to diffract a fraction of the input light in a given facet into the various M output detectors located in plane 30. The desired fraction of light to be diffracted by each sub-facet is given by the values of the matrix elements in the M×N matrix. The fraction is implemented by area modulating the sub-facets as shown in FIG. 2. That is, a larger sub-facet diffracts a larger fraction of the input optical power to a given output detector. Of course, it is the direction of the output beams, such as those denoted by the numerals 28a-28c that determine the output locations or areas. As shown in FIG. 1, a large lens 24, which is located immediately after hologram 12 and whose focal length is equal to the distance between the lens 24 and the output plane 30, serves to focus the beams 28a, 28b, 28c (and other such output beams that have not been illustrated) onto the small detectors 30a, 30b, 30c (and other such detectors that have not been referred to) located in plane 30.
Each of the M detectors will, in general, receive light from one sub-facet in each of the N facets. The total amount of light received by each of the M output detectors then represents the M output values in the M element output vector.
Inasmuch as the manner of making or constructing facets is fully described in my hereinbefore identified copending application, it is not believed necessary to present a detailed description at this time as to the techniques utilized in the forming of the facets and sub-facets. However, it will be of assistance to point out that each sub-facet 14a-14h etc., is exposed to a coherent object beam and a coherent reference beam, these beams successively impinging upon the photographic film at each surface each of a particular sub-facet. The various sub-facets and facets collectively constitute the holographic optical element 12 used in the practicing of my invention.
Several techniques are possible to record the variable area sub-facets. The first technique is to use an exposure mask (whose purpose is more fully described in my copending application) in which the aperture size can be varied under computer control. Thus various size sub-facets can be recorded by exposure through the open area of the mask. Alternately, a mask with fixed open area Ao corresponding to the size of the smallest desired sub-facet can be used. Larger sub-facets are then constructed by recording several of these small areas Ao next to each other such that they all contain identical gratings to diffract light to the same output location.
As already mentioned in my copending application, the advantage of using the interferometric recording process to construct the redistribution hologram 12 is that the hologram can be recorded in a volume phase film such as dichromated gelatin. Such holograms can have nearly 100% diffraction efficiency which leads to high signal-to-noise ratios for optical computing systems. Such holograms can also be easily replicated by optical means.
An alternate technique, that is, to use computer generated holograms for the redistribution hologram 12 is also within the scope of the invention. Computer generated holograms would have one advantage over interferometrically recorded volume holograms in that the sub-facet areas could be much more easily varied and controlled. Thin, phase, square wave gratings, such as those recorded in photoresist, would be most suitable for this application because their diffraction efficiency can reach 40%.

San Juan, PR—Children in Puerto Rico are more likely to fail nine out of ten key indicators of child well-being, including facing higher levels of risk than children in the mainland United States for low birth weight, teen idleness, and poverty, according to the 2010 KIDS COUNT Data Book released today by the Annie E. Casey Foundation (AECF) and joined by NCLR (National Council of La Raza), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S. Now in its twenty-first year, the data book provides new information on the condition of children in the United States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The analysis shows that since 2000, the situation of children in Puerto Rico has improved in some areas and worsened in others.
"In this time of economic uncertainty, we must implement effective solutions to the problems that Latino children face if we are to improve their well-being," said Janet Murguía, NCLR President and CEO. "Having good data will help in identifying solutions to advance public programs, community efforts, and government actions aimed at improving the well-being of children and their families."
Key findings from the report include:
- On nine out of the ten key measures for child well-being, children in Puerto Rico face higher levels of risk overall than the average U.S. child.
- The child poverty rate for Puerto Rico (56%) is more than three times the level in the U.S. as a whole (18%), while more than half (51%) of children live in families where no parent has full-time, year-round employment, nearly twice the national rate (27%).
- The infant mortality rate in Puerto Rico (8.4 deaths per 1,000 live births) has improved since 2000.
- Babies born to teen mothers in Puerto Rico (57 births per 1,000 females ages 15 to 19) decreased 21% between 2000 and 2007.
For the second year in a row, the KIDS COUNT Data Book is complemented by the online Data Center (http://datacenter.kidscount.org), which gives better and faster access to updated information on the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

DOUBLE TAX: Lawmakers vote to use property taxes to build toll roads
While the Texas House and Senate are busy competing over which chamber can come up with the most funding for public schools, another top priority of state government has taken a back seat — roads.

Renovate Science Labs - Phase II
Brookhaven National Laboratory is a multi-program national laboratory supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and situated in eastern Long Island, New York, with research missions in the physical sciences, energy sciences, and life sciences. Brookhaven's wide range of research places significant demands on premium laboratory space. In addition to their current uses, these spaces will have to support future research efforts.
The "Renovate Science Labs – Phase II" project, the second major renovation project funded by DOE's Science Laboratory Infrastructure Program, will upgrade existing older and unsuitable laboratory facilities into modern, efficient laboratory space, compatible with world-class scientific research. Laboratories located in the west wing of the Chemistry building (Bldg. 555), and the three-story wing of the Physics building (Bldg. 510), are included in the phase II renovation. Exacting laboratory environmental conditions are required to meet advanced instrumentation requirements and rapidly changing research technologies in basic energy sciences, nuclear physics and high-energy physics.
The scope of the refurbishment will include HVAC systems, electrical upgrades, lighting system upgrades, plumbing modifications, laboratory services, and support-area renovation. The work will also include life-safety systems improvements and modifications to meet current ADA standards. The project will incorporate the federal government's Guiding Principles in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings to the maximum extent possible. A heavy emphasis will be placed on optimizing energy performance and efficiency, resource reuse, and construction-waste recycling. The renovated laboratory space will be used by research teams from multiple science programs currently occupying the Chemistry and Physics buildings.

Weekly Market Notes
February 18, 2014
Dow 16154 – S&P 500 1838
The equity markets rallied sharply last week with the popular averages gaining more than two percent. Stocks were supported by comments from Fed Chair Janet Yellen that interest rates would stay low for a considerable period of time. Yellen added that although the Fed's taper program would continue as scheduled it would be slowed should economic data show the recovery stalling. This is important given the recent economic data has caused economists to reduce first quarter GDP growth estimates from 3.5% to 1.5%.
The assurance by the new Fed Chair of continuity in Fed policy assisted the equity market in recording its best weekly gain in 2014. The February rally has carried the S&P 500 Index within striking distance of the all-time record high at 1848. The potential for the market going forward will greatly depend on continued improvement in market breadth and investor sentiment remaining skeptical and not complacent. The rally broadened out last week with the NYSE advance/decline line and the S&P 500 mid-cap advance/decline lines hitting a new record high. The percentage of S&P 500 industry groups in uptrends, however, experienced only a small improvement to 68% from 67% last week and 90% at the start of the year. Support is 1770 using the S&P 500 and resistance is 16588 using the Dow Industrials.
The technical condition of the stock market improved during the late stages of the January/February decline. The most important changes can be found in the overbought/oversold statistics and the data on investor sentiment. Despite the sharp recovery in the popular averages the past two weeks the market is no longer overbought and the extreme optimism found at the start of the year has vanished. The weight of the sentiment indicators is now neutral. It will be important going forward that investor psychology avoid becoming too complacent once the weather clears and the economic data improves.
We would become concerned should the 10-day CBOE put/call ratio fall below 80%, the CBOE Volatility Index drop below 12, the American Association of Individual Investor survey show twice as many bulls than bears, and the Investors Intelligence numbers show more than 55% bulls. Small caps are lagging the market, which if it continues could lead to the development of negative divergences. It will also be important that the Russell 2000 Index move back in gear with the S&P 500. This would be accomplished if the Russell 2000 Index hit a new high (above 1182) along with the S&P 500.
The unusually harsh winter weather is preventing economists from developing any firm conclusions as to the state of the U.S economy based on the recent flow of economic data. Judging by the reaction of the equity markets to the weak numbers on the economy the data is considered by many to be irrelevant. The true state of the U.S. economy will not likely be known until March or April. Last week's data on industrial production, retail sales and housing showed business conditions deteriorating. This resulted in reduced expectations for first quarter GDP growth, which was downgraded to 1.5% from previous estimates of 3.5% growth. In addition, fourth quarter factory output was revised down implying that fourth quarter GDP will also be revised lower. The good news is that import prices rose a meager 0.1% last month. On a year-over-year basis, import prices are down 1.5%. Declining import prices makes it more difficult for domestic producers to increase prices. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose slightly last week but is expected to be range bound (2.50% to 3.00%) into the second quarter.
The unreliability of the recent economic data places additional stress on the Federal Reserve in gaining important insight on the future performance of the economy. Nevertheless, the Fed is expected to reduce the level of quantitative easing by $10 billion at the next Fed meeting in March. Yellen has indicated that the labor markets are not as strong as the unemployment data suggests. This is interpreted to mean that inflation expectations will be the Fed's primary resource in determining the next move on monetary policy. This week's economic data includes the Consumer Price Index (CPI) Report due on Wednesday. Consensus estimates are that the CPI for January rose 0.1%; less food and energy 0.2%. Next month's inflation numbers will be more closely monitored given the recent rise in oil above $100, natural gas above $5 and gold rising above $1300 last week.

By John W. Gearan
Holy Cross Magazine
Fresh out of Springfield College, Jackie Moriarty grappled with the uncertainties of life. He had always hustled about doing odd jobs, from soda jerk on up, to make a buck and to complete his pay-as-you-go education. At 26, the late-bloomer now stood at a personal crossroads in his hometown of Worcester, wondering which way to go. All he knew for sure was that he needed a full-time job.
In 1971 "networking" wasn't as lickety-split as logging onto a job search site and e-mailing résumés to potential employers. Moriarty's résumé could be only understood with a handshake, by feeling the calluses on his hand. His references were guys like himself who were no strangers to hard work or sweat.
One autumnal day, Jackie's father, John Moriarty, was tending bar at the White House restaurant when Jackie Scott came in for a libation after work. Scott, an assistant trainer/equipment manager at Holy Cross, lived in the same Main South neighborhood where he had performed as a Hall of Fame football lineman at St. Peter's High. Back then, his dad, Skitchy Scott, ran a popular diner on Pleasant Street.
"What's Jackie doing?'' Scott inquired.
"He just graduated from college in Phys. Ed.; he's been substitute teaching,'' John Moriarty replied proudly. "Looking for a full-time job."
Scott didn't miss a beat. "Would he be interested in helping me handle the equipment up at Holy Cross?'' Moriarty nodded yes. "Tell Jackie to come up and see me," Scott said.
The next day, Jackie Moriarty arrived at the Holy Cross fieldhouse and started working. No interviews. No résumés. No vetting by any personnel department. No checking to see if he even graduated from Springfield. No need. He had the recommendation of Jackie Scott. And Scott had a solemn promise from Moriarty that he would never let him or Holy Cross down. Jackie Moriarty stayed 38 years, serving as head trainer and head equipment manager and everything in between, until retiring this past June.
Today Jackie Moriarty and the late Jackie Scott reside together in the Holy Cross Athletic Hall of Fame. Not for scoring points, but for uncomplaining labor, unwavering loyalty and a dedication to helping everyone they could.
As it has been for many local kids, Moriarty's love for Holy Cross just seemed a natural part of growing up in the shadows of Mount St. James.
He recalls hiking up to Crusader football practices with his pal Tommy Quinn, who lived next door to him on markedly unposh Kilby Street, and going to baseball and football games at Fitton Field—and slipping into basketball games through side doors at the Worcester Auditorium.
He and Tommy became excellent athletes at St. Peter's High, Tommy as a hoop star and Jackie as a fireplug running back. His football coach was Crusader immortal Jim "Bubba" Healy '59, a man Jackie idolized.
Moriarty learned the art of athletic training on the job, from Scott and team doctors like James Walsh, M.D., '52, Phil Lahey, M.D., '69 and others. Scott offered him one bit of valuable advice: "Take care of the students and take care of the Jesuits and you'll be here a long time."
Hard work is part of his DNA. Traveling everywhere with the Crusader teams, Moriarty spent countless hours taping ankles, rubbing strained muscles, nursing cuts and contusions, transporting the wounded, collecting and cleaning uniforms, getting equipment repaired and loading buses with the armaments of athletic warfare. He watched Holy Cross athletics explode to 27 varsity sports and dealt with all the changes. It was a common sight to see him sweating profusely as he scampered about, operating whirlpools, cleaning out lockers, lugging gear and running errands well outside his job description.
Yet the larger part of his job involved quietly counseling the players, encouraging them not to give up on themselves and advising them on how to endure the psychological bruisings they suffered.
Sometimes it was a simple "hang in there" as he massaged a badly swollen foot; at other times, he would serve as a father confessor. Student-athletes trusted him, confiding their feelings and even their secrets. Behind the scenes he would discreetly arrange proper help for a young person in trouble.
For four decades, the man affectionately known to all as "Jackie Mo" opened his heart and mind to young men and women. And they never forgot, seeking him out whenever they returned to campus, just to see that special smile Jackie Mo always wears.
After this season's Harvard victory, family and friends crowded the Hogan Center for a special reception for him.
"We were flooded with e-mails from others who couldn't make it," says Linda George, his dear friend and assistant business manager for athletics. "He never uttered a bad word about anyone. He worked from dawn to midnight. Everyone loves Jackie Mo."
Former players and friends came from all over and from every era, including Joe Kelleher '77, from California; Chucky "Moon" Mullen '78, from Texas; Rose Scott (Jackie Scott's widow) and their daughter, Rosemary '86; longtime athletic director Ron Perry '54; Art Andreoli '58 and sons; Heisman Trophy finalist Gordie Lockbaum '88; first team All America Johnny Provost '75 and, of course, Tommy Quinn, still Moriarty's best pal after all these years.
Stories flowed as did tears, mostly of laughter. Jackie likes to tell a charming story about Provost, a sensational defensive back. "He was special. Always coming through—a runback, an interception, something when you needed it most," Moriarty recalls. "But on his first away trip, we gave him a little initiation. On our way to somewhere, we stopped at a high school field to practice and had to change into our warm-ups on the bus."
As the story went on, Jackie Mo explained how Provost began complaining. "What kind of operation is this? ... No locker room to change in. I suppose we'll have to dress in the hotel room for the game," he carped. Deadpan, Jackie Scott calmly replied, "Yup, that's how we do it here." The hook is set. Provost's road roomie, Paul Picarski '75, played along with the joke.
The next morning, on game day, the team assembled in the hotel lobby, nattily attired in suit coats and ties waiting for team bus. Down the staircase trudged rookie Provost ... dressed in full uniform! The team roared a collective razz. Provost had been punked.
Despite Moriarty's tireless devotion and his no punch-clock 80-hour work weeks, Holy Cross is only his second family. Through it all, Jackie and Kate Moriarty raised eight children. After Chris and Scott were born, the couple adopted six more children: Jana, Ana, Amanda, then three siblings, Matthew, Joshua and Laura. Chris '98 and Ana '03, are Holy Cross grads. In 1993, Jackie and Kate were honored as Adoptive Parents of the Year by the Massachusetts Department of Social Services. "Kate is my greatest blessing,'' says Moriarty of his wife of 35 years (and fellow St. Peter's High graduate). In February, they are expecting their seventh grandchild, who will not be named John, but Jack.
To keep financially afloat and enjoy the family's summer cottage on Cape Cod, Moriarty has always worked another job, as a driver delivering the morning newspaper for The Worcester Telegram & Gazette. His old pal Tom Quinn, a Telegram transportation supervisor, got him the job 30 years ago; now 65, he still works the nine-to-three shift as a route coordinator.
These days, Jackie Mo can be seen walking around campus, his daily exercise ritual. And, as always, he can be found kneeling at noontime Mass in St. Joseph's Chapel, giving thanks for his family and his memorable times serving others at Holy Cross and elsewhere.
Jackie Moriarty is a humble, good-natured man with a simple credo, to comfort those in need. Ann Ash Zelesky, associate athletic director, sums him up nicely in one word, "irreplaceable."
"He is one of a kind," Zelesky continues. "Jackie would be here at six in the morning and until 10 at night. He's our Jack of all trades, always having something positive to say, a man who brightens up everyone's day."
Home or away, there will never be another Jackie Mo

Mushrooms Stuffed with Brie
Oh, do you want to make these.
I have a problem these days. I'm experiencing an unnatural obsession with stuffed mushrooms. I'm not kidding—I lie awake at night, not contemplating the meaning of life or the fate of the universe, but just how many different ways I can stuff a mushroom cap.
It's taking over my life. Is that normal?
Please say yes.
You'll love these stuffed mushrooms, my dears. They're beautiful and decadent and divine, and are the perfect little bite to serve before a holiday dinner party. Guests will kiss you and demand to be invited back next year.
Whether or not you invite them back next year is entirely up to you and outside the scope of my involvement. I just wanted you to be forewarned.
Garlic. Everything begins with garlic.
Except maybe chocolate chip cookies.
Smash 'em with the flat side of the knife to crack 'em open. And while you're at it, please encourage this crazy lady to rub some lotion on her dry hands the next time she feels the need to take a picture of her scales this up close and personal.
Thank you for your cooperation. This is a recording.
Bloop! Now just peel off the outer papery layer and chop the garlic really finely.
Then, if you want to be a really thorough food blogger like me, please be sure to forget to take a photo of the chopped garlic.
Again, your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Chop a big handful of parsley.
Now slice up a few green onions.
Now grab a bunch of white button mushrooms—all sizes are fine. These were tired, getting ready to meet the same fate as that unforgotten-since-September zucchini in the back of my produce drawer (wasn't pretty. wasn't pretty one bit. was rank.) so I enlisted them for this job.
Wash 'em, dry 'em, then pull out the stems.
Stuffed mushrooms are a great way to rescue tired mushrooms.
Now. It's time to get naughty. Melt some butter in a large saucepan.
Everybody's doing it.
When the butter is melted, throw in the mushroom caps. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt.
Toss 'em around and cook them in butter for a minute or two. This will start the cooking process and get the mushrooms coated in butter.
And that's a very, very good thing.
Remove the mushrooms after about a minute, and place them, stem side up, in an ovenproof dish.
This is an Emile Henry pie plate, for those of you who must know these kinds of details.
Crowd 'em in as much as you can.
In the same skillet, throw in the garlic, green onions, and parsley. Sprinkle very lightly with salt.
Stir them around for a minute or so over low heat. Don't fry the heck out of the mixture—just let it warm up for awhile. Then—and this is entirely optional—splash in a tiny bit of white wine. Let it evaporate for a few seconds, then turn off the heat.
Cut off the rind, being careful not to cut away any of the beautiful, unimaginably delicious creaminess below.
Cut the brie into pieces, and place each piece into a mushroom cap.
And because every mushroom on earth is unique and special and no two mushrooms are alike, you'll have to cut the brie to fit each mushroom individually.
Keep going until all the mushroom caps are filled.
Now top the mushrooms with the parsley/garlic mixture.
Now pop 'em in the preheated oven for about 15 to 18 minutes, or until the brie is nice and soft and melted.
The mushrooms are flavorful and tender. The brie is soft and melted and creamy. The herb/garlic topping gives it an unbelievable flavor.
You'll love them!
Unless you don't like mushrooms. Or parsley. Or Brie.
But I think even if you fall into that category, these might turn ya around.

Sally On Monday, November 2 at 7:22 am
Those sound delicious, but yet another thing I'll have to eat on my own since no one else here is a mushroom eater.
A friend of mine makes several varieties of pimento cheese that she sells at the local farmer's market and some other outlets. I stuff mushrooms with that and it is wonderful.

Can't wait to make these. I heard you're not supposed to wash mushrooms cause they can get rubbery, just clean them with a damp cloth. These mushroom don't look rubbery at all. Dinner tonight!
Michelle On Monday, November 2 at 7:48 am
I am in love! I must make these and I must make the very soon or I think I might explode.
cthomas On Monday, November 2 at 7:48 am
Looks good Ree!
And you know it might actually make the Brie slightly better, it's creamy and luscious and all, but having it on crackers—it just need something else.
sharon On Monday, November 2 at 7:50 am
Mushrooms look great ,can't beat brie & garlic and fresh herbs yummy! Love the book !! Spreading the word about it and this great site. Thanks again Ree God Bless.

First off, I love you. Truly. Brie, mushrooms, holy moly. In our neck of the woods we say "goodness gracious me, mercy sakes alive!" Not sure why, but next time you have a longer recipe, you could try it! Off to the grocery store, good thing mushrooms are on sale this week! Also, avocados on sale. Can you work on that?

FLWendy On Monday, November 2 at 8:15 am
Yummy!! I love stuffed mushrooms! I've found that as long as butter, cheese and garlic are involved in their preparation, I can't lose! Try swiss and crab meat…. to die for!
Kitsch On Monday, November 2 at 8:15 am
Good golly! I want these for breakfast! Will these be in cookbook #2? Which you're putting together for us now, right?!!
Janet On Monday, November 2 at 8:18 am
Dang! I knew I should have gotten mushrooms at the grocery on Saturday. I did get the Brie so I'm half a step ahead of the game. This would be great for Thanksgiving appetizers. Thanks, Ree.
I have to buy another copy of your book coz I've drooled all over it since I got it last week.

Brenda On Monday, November 2 at 8:33 am
I have always thought that you had to keep all of the stuffing in the mushrooms…Thank you for the freedom to be hap-hazard with the parsley-garlic mixture.
Mara Duncan On Monday, November 2 at 8:33 am
Goodness, gracious, sakes alive???? I always thought it was goodness, gracious snake saliva. LOL it does look divine however. I look forward to trying this one!!!!
Becky On Monday, November 2 at 8:41 am
Oh my oh my. Thanks for the recipe! My family responds to all things stuffed: mushrooms, bell peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, squash, potatoes, eggs, the list is (almost) endless!
You do those mushrooms proud, Ree! I just had my morning o.j., coffee and oatmeal with bananas and walnuts, and I found myself craving those stuffed mushroom caps right after I read your post! I am off for a second and third viewing, then off to the grocery store! Thanks again!
P.S. I am a long-term reader of your blog, but a first time poster. It is such a joy to read your blog.

Romaine of www.salad-in-a-jar.com On Monday, November 2 at 8:44 am
Not sure that I have ever purchased Brie in my life. This looks like a good place to start.
laurie mom of 3 On Monday, November 2 at 8:47 am
I. Love. Brie! I. Love. Stuffed mushrooms!
Trish in MO On Monday, November 2 at 8:52 am
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa! Print button, dagnabbit it all, where is the print button! *whines*
Trish in MO On Monday, November 2 at 8:52 am
I also checked TK; it's not there yet
Siddie On Monday, November 2 at 8:52 am
Brie is my favourite cheese in all the world. But there are different types. True Brie isn't pasteurized (something banned in the U.S. I believe) but it's still great tasting (pasteurized). You can get it in Canada and it comes in Double cream and Triple cream. If you have these choices, the double cream is perfect for the mushrooms!
Everyone needs to be aware that the rind IS EDIBLE. It's not for everyone, though – more of an aquired taste.
Thanks for sharing this YUMMY looking recipe, Ree!!
leandra On Monday, November 2 at 8:58 am
MMMM….love mushrooms….Not so high on brie…but I may just have to try these…..Thanks Ree.
KarenH On Monday, November 2 at 8:59 am
Those look delicious!

OMG! I'm reading this at 9:00AM and want these for breakfast…
Sara On Monday, November 2 at 9:05 am
Is it wrong to want these at 8:00 in the morning? I'm the only mushroom fan in my family, so I'd need to have a girls get together to make these or I'd be forced to eat them all myself and that WOULD be wrong. Right?
Marla On Monday, November 2 at 9:06 am
Wow! I didn't think there was a way to make stuffed mshrooms without bacon, but you have done just that! YUMMY!!! Gonna have to make these for the mushroom lovers in my family!
Livin' Louisiana! On Monday, November 2 at 9:09 am
I'm all over it!
ms ellie On Monday, November 2 at 9:11 am

Diana D. On Monday, November 2 at 9:11 am
Yum! The really naughty people take a huge portabella mushroom and cram a whole mini-wheel of brie in there.
Take that, low cholesterol count!
Phyllis Ryan On Monday, November 2 at 9:12 am
We are having several parties in the next two months and I will be using all your stuffed mushroom recipes. These look so yummy. Thanks
Aditi On Monday, November 2 at 9:12 am

Oooooh once I have this baby I shall eat brie whenever I like! Muah-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!
Julie at Elisharose On Monday, November 2 at 9:23 am
Dang, that's pretty. It's a shame I don't like mushrooms. : )
Ros On Monday, November 2 at 9:24 am
I definitely wouldn't bother taking the rind off the brie. And I would probably chop up the mushroom stems and add them to the garlic/onion mixture for extra flavour and less waste.
Kathleen On Monday, November 2 at 9:26 am
Ohhhhh mama. I so have to make these! Are these the mushrooms you ate 9 of cold, Ree? I can totally understand why if they are.
Kelly On Monday, November 2 at 9:26 am

tj On Monday, November 2 at 9:27 am
I will be making these. I don't know when or for what occasion (not that I need one) but these will be made and eaten by me.
Holly On Monday, November 2 at 9:27 am
Oh wow! That looks soooo delicious!!!
Katie On Monday, November 2 at 9:28 am
Oh my Oh my !!! Ree you are a breath of fresh air!!
Can't wait to try the mushrooms. Stuffed mushrooms will no longer be boering again! Thanks to you!!

Darius Marshall and Mrs. Beena Ramachandran Winning Gold in the STD Rifle 3P and STD Rifle Prone Womens respectively. Darius Marshall continued to win Gold in the Veterans event at the National level.
Amendments to the Bye Laws of the Club we made during this period and passed in the General Body on 29th June 1991. One major amendment was the inclusion of Additional District Magistrate as the IInd Vice President and a senior active member as the IIIrd Vice President. Sri.

The State Association was also not functioning during this period and hence no State Meets were conducted. But our Club at that time being directly affiliated to NRAI, we could participate in the National Meets. Even during this time , our members, Darius Marshall and Sri.

Darius Marshall won Gold in the Veterans event in the 1994 & 1995 National Meets. He won Silver in the 1993Nationals at Madras.

The activities of the Association slowed down during this period with weekly practice meets becoming irregular and attendance dropping . Annual District Meets and AGMs were also not be conducted regularly. But, even during these difficult times, we could organize two State Championships – one from 1st – 3rd November 1998 and 2nd from 12th to 13th May 2001 due to the efforts taken by the then State Rifle Association Vice President and our member Sri.Jose Joseph..
Club General Body Meeting was finally convened after a gap of 8 years on
6th October 2004. A new set of office bearers took over the reins of the
Association with Sri.Jose Joseph as Hony. Secretary , Sri.M.K.Harindranath
as Treasurer and Sri.Jacob George Kynadi as Quarter Master. Sri. Darius
Marshall continued to be the IIIrd Vice President. The activities of the
Association became vibrant with the inclusion of large number of student
members. Weekly practice meets became more regular and attendance and involvement
of members also improved considerably.
Due to the active involvement of Executive Committee member Sr.V.B.Karunakaran
and Smt.Alphonsa Mathew, an NCC officer, who joined in 2006, a large number of youngsters joined the Association as Student Members. Annual District Meets became regular and active. Summer Coaching camp for students became a regular feature due to interest shown by the then District Collector & our President Sri. Jayathilak IAS, who was also a keen shooter.
Darius Marshall continued to bring honours to the Association, by winning medals at the State & National levels.
26.61 cents of road facing land was taken back by the Government from us during this time for the construction of the Vigilance and Anticorruption office building . The lease of our range land had expired in 2003 and we had difficulty in getting it renewed. But, due to the bold stand taken by our President Sri. Jayathilak IAS, we were able to pay the lease rent on an yearly basis.
At the General Body Meeting on 3rd March 2008, Bye laws of the Association
were amended to be in par with the directions of the State Sports Council
and terms of office of elected office bearers were made 4 years, Two new

Rolling Deck to Repository
PI(s):Suzanne M. Carbotte
PI(s):Robert A. Arko
The NSF-funded Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) program envisions the academic fleet as an integrated global observing system, with routine underway data and documentation flowing directly from research vessels to a central shore-side repository. R2R was initiated as a pilot project in September 2008, and advanced to a fleet-wide program in October 2009. The program's fundamental goals are to ensure long-term preservation of original underway sensor data; to improve the quality of these data through automated assessment and feedback; and to make data and documentation more easily accessible.

Mountaineers Suffer First Loss of Season
MIAMI, Fla. – The No. 12/14 West Virginia women's basketball team fell 71-63 to LSU in the opening round of the FIU Thanksgiving Classic in Miami, Fla., Friday.
In a back-and-forth game with 10 lead changes, the Mountaineers (3-1) tied the game at 59-59 with 3:35 left on a Jennie Simms layup. The Tigers (2-2) pulled away three, when an Averee Fields jumper from the top of the key brought the game within reach at 62-61 and 2:41 on the clock. WVU was held without a field goal to the buzzer, while LSU went on a 9-2 run to seal the win.
Despite three Mountaineers in double figures, WVU's shooting was cold, making only 36 percent (18-5) from the floor to the Tigers' 45.3 field goal percentage (24-53). Junior guard Taylor Palmer led WVU in scoring for the first time this season with 15 points, including three 3-pointers, and a career-high five steals. Senior Ayana Dunning held just below her season-leading average of 12.0 points with 11, while Simms also added 11 points, matching her career best. Dunning led the Mountaineers in rebounding with five boards, four of which were offensive. WVU barely edged out LSU in rebounding, 35-34.
The Mountaineers turned the ball over a season-high 28 times, which the Tigers capitalized on, gaining 16 points off turnovers. WVU also forced 23 turnovers, gaining 20 points from LSU's turnovers. WVU held LSU to only 1-of-7 (14.3%) from 3-point range, while hitting 30 percent (6-20) of its own. The teams were about even in free throw shooting as WVU shot 70 percent (21-30) and LSU was 73.3 percent (22-30) accurate.
LSU had four players score in double digits, led by Danielle Ballard with 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting, including 5-of-9 from the free throw line. Ballard was also the game-leading rebounder with eight boards. Theresa Plaisance recorded 13 points with 7-of-7 from the free throw line, and also collected six rebounds for the Tigers. Adrienne Webb chipped in 12 points and Bianca Lutley added another 10 points.
The Mountaineers advance to face Iowa on Sunday, Nov. 25 at 1 p.m. Fans can tune into WAJR to hear the game live with Travis Jones on the call.

Step 1: Dummy
I first built a duct tape seiwng dummy by having my wife and daughter wrap duct tape around my torso. then we cut it up the back and stuffed it. I mounted it and had a good dummy on which to build the costume. The picture below shows a long sleeve shirt (costume inner liner) surrounded by a plastic frame I built out my my kid's K'Nex pieces. Worked better than expected. On this I mounted 1/4" carpet padding foam and then I stuffed poly fil under that. Wrapped the whole thing in nylon and sewed away.
Step 2: Arms & Legs
FOr the legs I used a pair of sweatpants for the inner liner, added a nylon outer layer and stuffed in between. Feet were slippers wrapped and stuffed.
Step 3: Head & Final
I glued together styrofoam squares, carved out the inside for my head adn then carved it like Stay Puft. I glued carpet padding on it and then covered in nylon. The hat, ribbon and bib were simple sewing projects.
That's it. I hope you liked the costume. Here it is in final form with my wife as a Ghostbuster!. Check out the video on youtube.
Costume's are fun to make but I wish they could be reverse enginered! I was Spongebob and my daughter was Gary one year. Her costume was so heavy that she couldn't get up the steps to trick or treat....and I was no help because we played music in my costume, I had tiny eye holes, and I could hardly move! I was basically blind, deaf, dangerous and unable to help my gimpy snail!
But darn it , we looked cool!....Not as cool as you though, because yours is just awesome! =)
1. sew material,
2. stuff
3. throw away
4. repeat
I wanted to make the arms and legs more circular like the movie character and the Kenner Toy. But alas.. no could do. The frustration and dwindling amount of time resulted in my foregoing of the documentation.

Recurring giving is available with any of the following methods. You may also make special gifts, which are greatly appreciated as well. We have three options for giving:
- U.Va. Fund
- This is our recommended method of giving. You do not need to be a U.Va. alumni to contribute. To give through the U.Va. Fund, go to http://bit.ly/supportXA. For recurring gifts, select "I would like this to be an ongoing gift". This is the most cost-efficient online method of giving!
- PayPal
- You can give right on our website through PayPal. Use the form below to give once, or to set up a recurring donation. Once you click "Donate" you will be transferred to our secure PayPal giving site.
- Directly to Chi Alpha
- If you prefer to not give online, you may set up a recurring pledge with our bookkeeper, Kelly Baker, or send a special gift via check. Make checks payable to "Chi Alpha at UVA". Our mailing address is:
Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship
PO Box 5769

Possible New SmokerI have always been attracted to smokers, however it contradicts my lifestyle as a toughmudder and a triathlete. I want to start smoking and have a softer body now. Any ideas on how to begin? I'm a little freaked out about how it may change my lifestyle, but envy regular smokers who were brave enough to start and are addicted enough to enjoy every cigarette
I can ride a bike 40 miles non-stop, do 150+ miles a week & when I had surgery a couple of years ago the doc said I was in the best shape for my age (55) they had ever seen at that hospital, a decent-sized big city hospital. I smoke 1.5-2+ ppd Marlboro 100s and have been a smoker since 12. If you want to stay active it can be done.
I just bought my third pack yesterday - just buying them is still very exciting. I got a thrill when the clerk suggested I buy 3 packs to get discount.
For me picking a brand was the biggest obsticle. Do you have a pack yet?
well after u start smoking u can still do all the things u want to do. u wont see any changes for a few years. so i say get started as soon as u can and enjoy. :)
