Alex Levin of Andrew Davidson & Co. led the weekly seminar at Courant on Tuesday, April 1st. Dr. Levin spoke to the students about his recent research at the consulting firm concerning the modelling and valuation of mortgage related instruments. In particular, he addressed the issue of accounting for the prepayment risk embedded in certain mortgage products. As he explained, the option for borrowers to prepay can have significant consequences on the performance of certain investments and thus an accurate framework of the behavior of borrowers is crucial. --CASEY O'MEARA '08
Barry Schachter of Moore Capital Management came to speak with the masters students on March 25th. A fellow of the program, Dr. Schachter has an extensive history in the field of risk management having worked for a number of banks and hedge funds. He spoke with the students about the impact of large stress events and how the increasing complexity of the financial system can cause these events to have serious unanticipated consequences. While this poses great challenges for risk managers, Dr. Schachter is optimistic when it comes to the hedge fund industry where, as he explains, the relatively light regulation and absence of risk accounting mandates has fostered diverse and appropriate risk measures. --CASEY O'MEARA '08
On March 11th, Peter Fraenkel of Pragma Financial Systems came to speak with the masters students. Peter previously worked on the equity options desk of Morgan Stanley. He spoke with the students about the issue of accounting for dividends when properly pricing and hedging equity options. As Peter explained, while the issue of dividends is normally treated as an afterthought in most derivatives textbooks, improperly accounting for them when pricing or hedging options can lead to significant losses. --CASEY O'MEARA '08
Courant's own Steve Allen led the weekly seminar with the masters students on March 4th. As a veteran of risk management and current MD of risk methodology for JPMorgan, Professor Allen shared with the students a broad overview of what a career in risk entails. Speaking candidly, Professor Allen painted a thorough picture of how a risk group interacts with the rest of the firm, what roles are involved with its members, and what disciplines lend themselves well to a successful career in the field. --CASEY O'MEARA '08

After listening for several minutes to a citizen call for his resignation because of his DUI arrest, Helper Mayor Dean Armstrong stated his position in four words: "I decline to resign."
From the volume of applause that followed his comment, it appeared that the majority of the crowd crammed into the small council chamber at Civic Auditorium agreed with his decision. But the citizens were not unanimous. Angel Dalpiaz, wife of former mayor Mike Dalpiaz, was also applauded for the criticism she leveled at Armstrong.
"You put people in peril," she declared. "I don't believe you had any idea what you did." Dalpiaz insisted that Armstrong's arrest in Price on Nov. 16 harmed the city's reputation in and out of state. She asked him to resign from office so he could get control of his conduct and to give Helper a chance to clean up its image.
Armstrong thanked her for her comments, said he was not leaving, and moved the meeting on to other agenda items.
Several days after his arrest, Armstrong had told the Sun Advocate that he believed his DUI was a "serious error in judgment." He had deliberated on whether or not to resign from his position as mayor, but ultimately decided to remain in office.

Lake Forest, IL -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team hit a cold spell at the wrong time, falling at Lake Forest College 71-61 in overtime on Tuesday night.
Steve McAfee, Jr. had forced the extra session with a three-pointer just before the buzzer. Another three by McAfee early in overtime gave the Bucs the lead but it was the last points they scored.
The game was close early until LFC went on an extended 16-6 run to move up 30-19 with 1:13 left. They led 30-21 at the break.
The deficit swelled to 12 less than a minute into the second half and was still 12 at 35-23 at the 16:43 mark before the Buccaneers got back in the game with a 16-4 run to tie it at 39 midway through. The Foresters retook the lead and kept Beloit at arm's length for the next ten minutes. The Bucs pulled within one twice in the last 30 seconds but trailed by three with 10.7 seconds left on a pair of Lake Forest free throws, setting the stage for McAfee's overtime-forcing jumper from the left baseline.
In OT Lazarcik scored on a layin and then McAfee hit a three with 3:31 left to put the Buccaneers up 61-58. But LFC scored the final 13 points of the extra period as Beloit went cold to secure the win.
McAfee finished with 18 points while Lazarcik had a double-double with 17 points and 14 rebounds.
Beloit looks to get back on the right track on Saturday afternoon in Flood Arena when they host Grinnell College. Action is scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m.

Got back from the San Diego MEPS on thurs so i wanted to do another writeup for people who are interested. I havent been through MEPS since 2004 when i first enlisted but that was at the Harrisburg,PA MEPS and it was quite a different experience.First off the hotel they put us up at was leaps and bounds better than the one in PA. It was a holiday in express and had a decent lounge room with xbox/movies etc. there was only about 60 of us there so it seemed a bit small though. Night was uneventful and i don't believe anyone did anything too stupid. LOTS of people for the Marines though so ended up telling a bunch of stories and experiences with them. The hotel in Harrisburg was a run down POS. Had hookers knocking on or doors at midnight to offer their services to those shipping the next day. None of that in San Diego so thumbs up.Day started early with the bus arriving at 5 lined up at the metal detectors by 645.Given an initial briefing then off to see our branches. I was only there for a physical so the whole day was taken up by that. Breathalyzer came first and no one popped amazingly. Prior service an females were given front of the line but it really didn't help that much since it was a round robin. They were quite efficient at getting us through the stations pretty quickly. I was worried about the hearing test as i lost alot of hearing from the service and developed pretty bad tinnitus. I passed somehow so that was awesome. Got everything checked and passed except there was a blockage in my right ear canal and they cold not remove it to look at my ear drum. So i have to go back this thurs to get it removed an get the ear drum checked. Signing an swearing in that same day hopefully as a 21B!

At least one more insurance company will likely offer plans on the online insurance Marketplace in Maine next year. Harvard Pilgrim Health Care plans to join the list that already includes Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Maine Community Health Options.
Health advocates said the added competition bodes well for Maine consumers. Edward Kane, the Vice President of Harvard Pilgrim Maine says, as a non-profit dedicated to providing coverage to as many people as possible, his company wanted to join Maine's Marketplace in 2014.
"Frankly we just needed more time to do the adequate necessary preparations."
Now, they're ready said Kane, and thrilled to join. Emily Brostek of Consumers for Affordable Health Care said Harvard Pilgrim's decision reflects the success of the Marketplace in Maine, whose approximately $25,000 enrollees by the beginning of March surpassed the overall federal goal of $23,000. With at least three insurance providers offering plans next year, Brostek said consumers will have expanded choice.
"Insurers are going to try harder to create products and prices that work for consuemrs so they pick their plans instead of competitors. So it can only be a good thing for consumers, I think."
But other insurance companies aren't quite ready to take the plunge. Susan Millerick of Aetna said although the company offered plans in the Marketplace in 17 other states this year, they have learned to proceed with caution.
"It was a rocky experience, I think we can acknowledge that, sort of across the board. So what we're needing to do now is really bring some real regulatory certainty and closure to what the rules will be and how the exchanges will function. And right now, we are continuing to evaluate where we stand today."
Because open enrollment for the 2014 Marketplace just closed on March 31st. Insurance companies have until May 31st to decide whether to join the Marketplace in 2015.

A couple of years ago, swimming legend Diana Nyad was emceeing a swank awards banquet in the Waldorf Astoria ballroom in New York when she suddenly woke up the crowd by stripping off her dress. Standing on stage in nothing but a swimsuit and high heels, dangling her cleavage, she further enlivened the affair by whipping out a bugle and playing reveille.
She was nearing 60 then. Now she's 61, and just the other day she made a Hamptons cocktail party come alive by popping a biceps muscle, to prove she's still capable of swimming from Cuba to Florida. She rolled up her sleeve and flexed a muscle the size of a small cannonball. Conversation stopped, replaced by sharp intakes of breath, followed by upset glasses of wine and fumbled cheese wedges.

Saybrook University announces PhD focusing on Humane Education
Humanity's step into the 21st century has been accompanied by global problems in need of new solutions: better approaches to spreading human rights in a time of scarce resources, an increased understanding of environmental stewardship, and new strategies to create just and healthy societies around the world.
Most of us want to address these challenges, solve these problems, but don't know how. An education designed to get us a job and keep us thinking inside the box doesn't provide us with the tools needed to be more effective citizens of the 21st century.
But we can change that.
A new PhD in Organizational Systems, specializing in Humane Education, from Saybrook University will provide a new generation of educational leaders with a lens, a body of knowledge, and a set of tools and strategies to help their students address these interconnected problems.
By transforming education, and approaches to teaching, they can change the world.
This PhD will be the only one of its kind in the United States, and is the result of a collaboration between Saybrook University, Valparaiso University, and the Institute for Humane Education (IHE), a non-profit leader and pioneer in the field of Humane Education.
"This is an exciting new program for Saybrook that enables us to bring our understanding of organizational systems and leadership to the challenge of transforming education," said Dr. Nancy Southern, chair of Saybrook's School of Organizational Leadership and Transformation. "Students drawn to the program will include teachers and administrators in K-12 public and private schools, people who are on the front lines of educating our children."
Saybrook is now accepting applications for this new specialized PhD for the Spring 2014 and Fall 2014 semesters. The program follows Saybrook's unique "hybrid" learning model, combining online coursework with intensive, in-person seminars, and offers students the best of both worlds: they get the networking and experiential benefits of meetings faculty and peers face-to-face, without needing to relocate or put their careers on hold.

I bought this hat while on leave in Dallas this Jun/Jul...I am completely happy with it. The construction, colors, fit...all A+. New Era caps have a bit of sizing problem sometimes and some crowns are "taller" than others so I usually have to take my time to find the right one. However, I didn't have to do much searching...this was the first one I picked up and it fit perfect.

During a previously scheduled news conference Tuesday to discuss Cincinnati's Dec. 27 bowl game against Duke, Jones would not take questions about his job status.
The first two questions were about if he would be the Cincinnati coach at the bowl game, and he refused to answer other than saying: "I'm still the head coach here and that speaks volumes."
After the second question about his job status, Jones threatened to end the news conference if reporters continued to ask about his coaching future.
"I have every intention to coach the game," Jones said.

Book tickets to Germany, one of Europe's most culturally eclectic countries, and discover the many sides of this cosmopolitan land. Home to diverse scenery, ranging from the magnificent Alps to romantic river valleys, and equally diverse towns, with trendy Berlin and Hamburg contrasting with quaint medieval countryside villages, Germany is a country that will keep surprising you.
Best Things to Do in Germany
- Challenge yourself with a hike in the magnificent Bavarian Alps
- Embrace German folklore with a tour along the Fairy Tale Route, a 600 kilometer journey that passes some of the country's most charming story-book architecture
- Travel west to see Cologne Cathedral, Germany's largest and most significant cathedral
Discover Germany
Beaches are hardly the first things that come to mind when most people think of Germany, which is perhaps why most tourists overlook the tranquil Rügen Cliffs. If you book flights to Germany in June you might also be able to catch Kiel Week, the largest sailing event in the world.
Germany Activities
Most people associate Germany with the legendary Oktoberfest, the world's biggest fair that takes place in Munich during September and October. Look for flight deals to Germany early in the year if you hope to arrive in time for this iconic celebration of beer and Bavarian culture. Or consider visiting one of this country's lesser-known, yet equally exciting, beer festivals like the Stuttgart Cannstatter Volksfest.
Plan Your Germany Holiday
If you are heading to the Alps for the ski season, consider staying in Mittenwald or Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where the skiing is excellent, and where cheap hotels in Germany are relatively commonplace compared to some of the country's more well-known cities and resorts.

As you arrive in the Valley, you'll pass miles and miles of lush green orchards – apple, pear and cherry – cut by cascading rivers snaking through semi-arid flatlands and canyons. In spring, the craggy mountainsides are carpeted in yellow, as the local wildflower, balsamroot, blooms in unison.
As you enter the city of Wenatchee, the snow topped Cascade Mountains rise to the west and the mighty Columbia river glitters to the east. Tree-lined streets lead to the hub and life of our community – the award-winning historic downtown.
Awarded the 2003 Great American Main Street Award by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Wenatchee's downtown is a mix of cultural activities, shopping destinations, dining opportunities and outdoor experiences.
East Wenatchee (pop. 11,570)
Every evening, East Wenatchee visitors are treated to one of nature's most spectacular displays, as the sun sets over the Cascade Mountains, radiating pink, orange and purple streams across the horizon. To the east, the moon rises over Badger Mountain and a blanket of stars appear in the clear evening sky.
With Pangborn Memorial Airport, the Wenatchee Valley Mall and 300 acres of riverside parks bordering the Columbia river, you can spend an adventurous day exploring this city on the east side of the Valley.
If adventurous 'firsts' interest you, East Wenatchee has a 'first' of its own. On October 5, 1931, Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon Jr. landed in East Wenatchee after completing the first non-stop trans-Pacific airplane flight originating in Misawa, Japan. You can see a replica of their famous plane, the Miss Veedol, at Ballard Park. And to this day, Misawa, Japan, remains an active sister-city with East Wenatchee, helping to create the Bridge of Friendship Japanese Garden dedicated to the historic relationship.

MASSENA Town Council members voted unanimously Wednesday night to pay back the village roughly $25,000 for security at Massena International Airport and extend an agreement for the village to police the airport for the rest of this year.
Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said an error in paperwork may be partially responsible for the money owed the village for last fiscal year.
What we found was the village approved the agreement. We did not, he said, adding the first agreement approved Wednesday night was made retroactive to Oct. 1, 2012, through Sept. 30, 2013. That agreement was based on the Transportation Security Administration approved rate of $68.25 per day.
Weve talked to TSA, and we may be able to get some retroactive reimbursement, Mr. Gray said, adding he also had discussed with TSA alternative options for providing required security for incoming and outgoing flights at the airport.
Those talks, however, are now on hold due to the government shutdown.
The people we need to deal with at TSA are on furlough, he said.
Town Councilman John F. Macaulay questioned why the village wouldnt want to continue providing the service.
If you take that job away from those guys, they will still have to be paid, he said. Do they understand this is money that will be lost from their budget?
As a resident of the village, Mr. Macaulay said, he doesnt want to see his taxes go up because of the loss of police revenue for covering the airport. He also said he would feel more comfortable with a consistent law enforcement presence there.
In my mind, we would be better off knowing the village police will be there every day, he said. The issue is were not going to pay $50,000 for them, as the town had sought.
Councilman Albert C. Nicola wondered if the town still would be reimbursed if it switches to a guaranteed response time plan at the airport.
We wont get reimbursed unless they bill for it, Mr. Macaulay said, adding that under a guaranteed response time plan, any branch of law enforcement could respond.

Alzheimer disease causes the gradual deterioration of cognitive function, including severe memory loss and impairments in abstraction and reasoning. Understanding the complex changes that occur in the brain as the disease progressesincluding the accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tanglesis critical for the development of successful therapeutic approaches.
Written and edited by leading experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine includes contributions covering all aspects of Alzheimer disease, from our current molecular understanding to therapeutic agents that could be used to treat and, ultimately, prevent it. Contributors discuss the biochemistry and cell biology of amyloid β-protein precursor (APP), tau, presenilin, β-secretase, and apolipoprotein E and their involvement in Alzheimer disease. They also review the clinical, neuropathological, imaging, and biomarker phenotypes of the disease; genetic alterations associated with the disorder; and epidemiological insights into its causation and pathogenesis.
This comprehensive volume, which includes discussions of therapeutic strategies that are currently used or under development, is a vital reference for neurobiologists, cell biologists, pathologists, and other scientists pursuing the biological basis of Alzheimer disease, as well as investigators, clinicians, and students interested in its pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention.
Part of the outstanding Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine series, The Biology of Alzheimer Disease is a 375 page compendium knowledgeably compiled and deftly edited...and presents twenty-five major papers by experts in this specialized field and provides up-to-date information on every aspect of Alzheimer disease....A core and essential addition to academic and medical libraries, [it] is especially recommended reading for neurobiologists, cell biologists, pathologists, and anyone else in the medical community with a particular interest in Alzheimer disease research.
The Midwest Book Review
Anyone following the primary literature on Alzheimers disease research knows that keeping abreast of this rapidly evolving field has become a Herculean task. More and more data are being published on ever-diversifying lines of research, and they are not made any clearer by discrepancies among studies and debate about what is important. Its a challenge for newcomers and Alzheimerologists alike to see the big picture of what has been learned and where the field is heading....The Biology of Alzheimer Disease, published in 2012 by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, attempts to help with that....The editors and authors address a broad audience of people from across biomedical research, particularly students and junior researchers, but also investigators in related fields of science and those with a passing interest in Alzheimers...The total collection stands out for pulling together a broad swath of leading scientists internationally to work toward the shared goal of articulating what is the agreed-upon state of the art in their field.

PAWTUCKET — Fresh eggs and honey from Pawtucket? One local nutrition group would like to see changes in the city's zoning and animal ordinances to allow urban farming activities like these to take root.
On the City Council's meeting agenda for Wednesday night are three requests by Nancy Whit, of the Pawtucket Healthy Foods Coalition, for changing the city's zoning and animal ordinances to allow for chicken hen keeping, honey bee keeping and aquaponics (a food production method that combines aquaculture and hydroponics). The council is expected to refer the requests to the Ordinance Committee for review.
Whit, who is also executive director of the Pawtucket Citizens Development Corporation, wrote to Mayor Donald Grebien last month on behalf of the Pawtucket Healthy Foods Coalition to ask for his support for three proposed regulatory changes. The proposal sure to have the most people clucking would amend the zoning and animal ordinances to allow city residents to raise and keep chicken hens.
Whit stated to the mayor that the proposed regulatory changes will benefit the health of Pawtucket residents by improving nutrition, and will also have a positive environmental impact overall. She said the proposed ordinance language is modeled after ordinances in other communities that have successfully introduced residential chicken hen keeping. She added that restrictions have been incorporated to ensure the raising of chicken hens is done in a manner that is "safe, sanitary, and agreeable to occupants of nearby properties."
Under the proposed regulation changes, only one chicken hen could be kept per 800 square feet of parcel or lot area, with a maximum of six chicken hens on any lot. Whit stated that at this population level, chicken hens "make very little noise or waste." She noted that the proposed regulations expressly prohibit the keeping of roosters, which are generally responsible for the noise associated with poultry. Further, she stated, a chicken hen excretes "only a fraction of the waste of a mid-size dog and its manure is an excellent fertilizer for backyard plants or garden."
Additionally, Whit wrote that the proposed ordinance includes specific and numerous restrictions on chicken hen enclosures to ensure the safety and well-being of the chicken hens and their surroundings, including requirements as to the site of the enclosure to prevent waste run-off and specifications on the disposal of chicken manure.
In her letter to Grebien, Whit asked for his support to the zoning change that will allow for the keeping of chicken hens in Pawtucket. She stated that the Pawtucket Healthy Foods Coalition believes the proposed regulatory change will promote responsible chicken hen keeping and serve the best interests of city residents. "We look forward to joining Providence, Barrington, South Kingstown and other Rhode Island cities and towns that are reaping the benefits of chicken hen raising," she wrote.
There is a long list of provisions regarding the chicken hen keeping, which is based on language from the city of Cleveland's zoning ordinance as well as requirements based on language from the cities of Providence and Barrington. Most importantly, the chicken hens must be provided with a hen house (coop) and a fenced outdoor enclosure, and the hen house must be located at least 20 feet from any dwelling. There are also provisions designed to limit odors and noise, and bans against open food so as not to attract insects and rodents.
Pawtucket's current ordinance does not allow for the raising or breeding of any animals and restricts the keeping of most farm animals including sheep, hogs, goats, cattle, horses, geese, ducks, rabbits or other fowl (except under special conditions prescribed by the Animal Control Officer.)
The proposed regulatory change regarding bee-keeping would state that no more than one beehive shall be kept for each 7,000 square feet or lot area, and no beehive shall be kept on a lot less than 7,000 square feet in area. There is also an extensive list of provisions that bee keepers would have to follow, including that the beehives must have removable frames that are kept in usable condition. It is noted that much of the language follows that of a similar ordinance in East Providence.
The provision also states that, as required by state law, all honey bee colonies shall be registered annually with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and a copy of the registration must also be submitted annually to the city's zoning officer and animal control officer.
City Council President David Moran said he hadn't had time yet to delve fully into the proposed ordinance changes, so it was too soon to express an opinion on the idea of chickens being raised in Pawtucket.
Moran said he expects the Ordinance Committee to fully explore the pros and cons of such a change, including how enforcement would be handled and other concerns. He added that he would also want to have the administration's input on this proposed change, particularly because it becomes a quality of life issue for residents.
Douglas Hadden, director of constituent services and communications for Mayor Donald Grebien, said the mayor has been supportive of many of the ideas that have come through the Pawtucket Healthy Places by Design initiative as these do, and he wants these proposals to move on to the City Council's Ordinance Committee for review.
He added, however, that anything affecting public health and safety is always a primary concern and the mayor wants to see these proposals more thoroughly analyzed and discussed.

ECM is an innovative, independent record label that is known for its unique, immediately recognizable photo art on the covers. you should check them out in the record store - they tend to record some of the finest modern jazz and classical music.
I liked it, Mark. Kinda eerie, but not at all scary. It kinda tells a story, somehow.
I see it, I take it. Forget all the formal photo rules and shoot intuitively. More of a diary.

Slugs 8"
MC Swimbaits are the newest entries in the California inshore scene. These baits have a translucent look in most of the patterns and an overall glisten that gives them a quality look with what has proven to be fish-catching appeal. Some of the patterns have colors that are mostly visible as you look through or into the baits, so the camera does not do the pictures justice.
Rigging Tip
After continuous use swimbaits begin to slip off the shank of the jig head. Once they start doing this they soon become unusable. To prevent this, glue the plastic to the jig head shank withZAP-A-GAP when you first rig up. The swimbait will stay glued to the head permanently until you decide to separate the two.

CUMBERLAND — Senior standouts Cody Beaudette and Chris Hayes captured their weight classes to help Cumberland win a close battle for the team championship in this past weekend's John D. Gorman Memorial Tournament at the Clippers' Wellness Center.
The Clippers, who returned to the top of the team standings after watching Johnston finish first last year, scored 159.5 points to beat 17 other teams (representing four New England states) and nip runner-up Bristol Eastern of Connecticut by 1.5 points.
Two of the top-ranked teams in Massachusetts copped the next two spots, No. 7 North Andover (145.5) and No. 3 North Attleboro (143.5), while nearby North Providence (91) rounded out the top five.
The championship was the fifth in the last six years for the Clippers, who had won four straight tournament titles from 2009-12.
"I was happy with that," remarked Cumberland coach Steve Gordon. "All in all, it was a great tournament and our kids worked hard. The kids who didn't place [in the top four of their weight classes] had won matches earlier, and in a tournament like this, those points add up."
If there was one match that certainly helped push the Clippers past Bristol Eastern in the standings, it was in the 120-pound finals, where Beaudette pinned Bristol Eastern's Josh Wilson 1:36 into their showdown.
That capped a four-pin day for Beaudette, but the tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler honors went to Lincoln senior Alex D'Aloisio. Last year's state champion at 120 pounds, D'Aloisio took the 126-pound crown with a 4-0 mark and a first-round pin of Johnston's Jon Soto that took 1:33 to complete.
"That weight class was very, very competitive," Gordon offered, explaining why D'Aloisio received the tournament's top individual honor.
Hayes, meanwhile, went 4-0 to claim the 182-pound title, but in order to win, he had to survive a tough battle in the finals with Connor Humphries of East Longmeadow, Mass. that saw Hayes eke out a hard-fought 2-1 win.
Taking second place at 195 pounds was Cumberland junior Nick Giorgio, who also had an action-packed title match with North Providence's Sebastian Dziadkiewicz that saw the N.P. senior come away with a close 3-1 triumph.
The Clippers also saw Kyle Durkin (138) finish third in his weight class and Dylan Bross (113), Kris Nordby (132), Nate Skawinski (160), and Matt Riley (285) place fourth.
Both the Clippers and the Lions will return to their dual-meet schedules this week. Cumberland, which is 3-0 in Division I-North action, will host Chariho on Thursday at 7 p.m., while Lincoln, which is 5-2 in Division II-South, will host Pilgrim on Wednesday at 7 and Exeter/West Greenwich on Thursday at 7.

text: Reading the story of Sgt. John Peck, I am struck by two things. One, the Marine's bravery. And two, the remarks and contributions of great Americans like Col. Rocco Armonda and Lt. Col. Eric Holt to the recovery process of folks with brain injuries. Rehab takes great perseverance, but it also requires a dedicated team. And COL Armonda and LTC Holt fit that bill for many of our service-members. . .

On October 9, the Supreme Court denied review of an appeal court ruling upholding the constitutionality of the Federal Information Securities Amendments Act (FISA).
The FISA Amendments Act was signed into law by President George W. Bush on July 10, 2008 after being overwhelmingly passed 293 to 129 in the House and 69-28 in the Senate. Just a couple of days prior to its being enacted, Representative Ron Paul and a coalition of Internet activists united to create a political action committee, Accountability Now, and conduct a money bomb in order to raise money to purchase ad buys to alert voters to the names of those congressmen (Republican and Democratic) who voted in favor of the act.
George W. Bush's signature was but the public pronouncement of the ersatz legality of the wiretapping that was otherwise revealed to the public in a New York Times article published on December 16, 2005. That article, entitled "Bush Lets U.S. Spy on Callers Without Courts," described the brief history of the "anti-terrorist" program:
Months after the Sept. 11 attacks, President Bush secretly authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on Americans and others inside the United States to search for evidence of terrorist activity without the court-approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying, according to government officials.
Under a presidential order signed in 2002, the intelligence agency has monitored the international telephone calls and international e-mail messages of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people inside the United States without warrants over the past three years in an effort to track possible "dirty numbers" linked to Al Qaeda, the officials said. The agency, they said, still seeks warrants to monitor entirely domestic communications.
The previously undisclosed decision to permit some eavesdropping inside the country without court approval was a major shift in American intelligence-gathering practices, particularly for the National Security Agency (NSA), whose mission is to spy on communications abroad. As a result, some officials familiar with the continuing operation have questioned whether the surveillance has stretched, if not crossed, constitutional limits on legal searches.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — U.S. businesses produced goods and services more efficiently in the third quarter than originally believed, mainly by boosting output while keeping labor costs down.
The ability of companies to keep costs corralled makes it easier for the Federal Reserve to continue efforts to prop up the economy without stirring inflation, a good thing for bondholders.
Yet it also reflects the reluctance of business to hire or raise wages in a slow-growing economy, giving unemployed Americans little comfort and leaving little room for consumers to sharply boost spending. Consumer spending accounts for as much as 70% of U.S. economic activity.
Productivity rose a revised 2.9% — the fastest rate in two years — compared to a first reading of 1.9%, the Labor Department said Wednesday. Figures for productivity are revised twice after the initial report is released.
Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected productivity to be revised up to 2.8% vs. a 1.9% gain in the second quarter.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
The amount of goods and services produced, known as output, was revised up to 4.2% from 3.2%. The number of hours employees worked was unchanged at a 1.3% increase, however.
Higher output accounted entirely for the big upward move in third-quarter productivity. The increase also largely explains why the government recently revised third-quarter growth up to 2.7% from 2%.
The increase in output, however, might have a downside. Companies appear to have built up excess inventories, meaning they are likely scale back production in the final three months of the year to avoid getting caught with too many unsold goods.
U.S. growth is forecast to slow to a 1.1% in the fourth quarter from 2.7% in the third quarter.
Costs under tight control
Several years after the last recession ended, companies are still keeping a tight lid on costs.
Unit-labor costs sank 1.9% last quarter vs. an originally reported 0.1% increase. Unit-labor costs reflect how much it costs a business to produce one unit of output, such as a ton of coal or a crate of Louisville Slugger baseball bats.
Unit-labor costs have edged up just 0.1% over the past 12 months, the lowest reading in two years.
The amount of hourly pay for employees rose 0.9% in the third quarter, down from a prior estimate of 1.8%. Hour wages have risen just 1.8% in the past 12 months.
"Companies remain cautious about a global slowdown and the pending fiscal cliff, and are likely holding back hiring and wage increases until they get more clarity," said economist Yelena Shulyatyeva of BNP Paribas.
