Adolescent Insomnia as a Predictor of Early Adulthood Outcomes
Date: December 2006
Creator: Roane, Brandy Michelle
Description: Recent research found insomnia is a risk factor for psychiatric disorders in adults. To see if the same would be true in adolescents, the current study re-analyzed data from a national longitudinal study collected by ADDHealth that evaluated health behaviors in 4552 adolescents (mean age 14.9 years [SD 1.7]) at baseline and again 7-8 years later (n = 3489) during young adulthood. Insomnia was reported by 9.2% of the adolescents. Cross-sectionally, adolescent insomnia was associated with alcohol, cannabis, non-cannabis drugs, and tobacco use, and depression after controlling for gender and ethnicity. Prospectively, adolescent insomnia was a significant risk factor for depression diagnosis, suicidal ideation, and the use of depression and stress prescription medications in young adulthood after controlling for gender, ethnicity, and significant baseline variable. In addition, a trend was noted for suicidal attempts.

The Application of a Health Service Utilization Model to a Low Income, Ethnically Diverse Sample of Women
Date: August 2000
Creator: Keenan, Lisa A.
Description: A model for health care utilization was applied to a sample of low income women. Demographic Predisposing, Psychosocial Predisposing, Illness Level, and Enabling indicators were examined separately for African American (n = 266), Anglo American (n = 200), and Mexican American (n = 210) women. Structural Equation Modeling revealed that for African American and Anglo American women, Illness Level, the only significant path to Utilization, had a mediating effect on Psychosocial Predisposing indicators. The model for Mexican Americans was the most complex with Enabling indicators affecting Illness Level and Utilization. Psychosocial Predisposing indicators were mediated by Illness Level and Enabling indicators which both directly affected Utilization. Implications of the results for future research are addressed.

Client's Perception of Seeking Counseling as a Function of Counselor Ethnicity, Counselor Acculturation, Counselor Gender, and Client Gender
Date: August 2003
Creator: Liu, Huan-Chung Scott
Description: Due to demographic shifts and efforts to recruit culturally diverse professionals, it is plausible that more Caucasians will encounter ethnic minority counselors in the future. Yet, the majority of multicultural literature has only emphasized Caucasian counselors' multicultural counseling competence. Research has rarely discussed how ethic minority counselors influence the perceptions of Caucasian clients. The research purpose was to explore how acculturation and gender of Asian and Caucasian counselors influence Caucasians' perceptions of the counselors and counseling services. With an analog research design, 562 Caucasian college students read 1 of 8 randomly assigned counselor descriptions, which were varied by counselor characteristics, and reported their perceptions on dependent measures: Counselor Rating Form - Short Version (CRF-S), Working Alliance Inventory - Short (WAI-S) and 4 Willingness items. With the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help - Shortened Form as a covariate, 15 hypotheses were expected that Caucasians would prefer high-acculturated, same sex, and same ethnic counselors tested by simple contrast, while an exploratory question, investigating main and interaction effects among independent variables (counselor ethnicity, acculturation and gender, and participant gender) on dependent measures, was examined by MANCOVA and ANCOVA. Although only 2 of 15 hypotheses showed significance, the exploratory investigation revealed: Caucasian participants ...

Cognitive and Perceptual-Motor Indicators of Lateralized vs. Diffuse Brain Damage in Adults.
Date: December 2002
Creator: Gregory, Erin Kathleen Taylor
Description: Among the goals of the neuropsychological assessment are to detect the presence of brain damage, localize which areas of the brain may be dysfunctional and describe subsequent functional impairments. The sensitivity of neuropsychological instruments in carrying out these functions is a question of some debate. The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of lateralizing indicators from the WAIS-III, McCarron Assessment of Neuromuscular Development (MAND) and Haptic Visual Discrimination Test (HVDT), from the McCarron-Dial System Neuropsychological Assessment Battery (MDS), in ascertaining the presence or absence of brain damage as well as location of lesion. The classification accuracies of using performance level indicators from these tests and lateralizing indicators, alone and together, were compared.

Comparative Analysis of Chronic Versus Acute Stressors and Their Influence on Distress Consequences at Work
Date: August 2000
Creator: Crawford, Julie Schwarz
Description: Workplace stress has been found to be a causal agent of psychological distress consequences in employees. Chronic stressors have been well researched, in particular, role conflict, role ambiguity, and work overload have been extensively studied. A meta-analysis was conducted in order to aggregate past research to gain a better understanding of the impact these stressors have on the psychological distress consequences of depression, tension/anxiety, somatic complaints, and generalized feelings of stress. Only role ambiguity was found to be a significant contributor to psychological distress, in particular to feelings of depression and stress. In general, however, effect sizes for all three stressors were moderate to large. While chronic stressors have been well researched, acute stressors have been widely overlooked. Since research in this area is limited, the Daily Work Hassles Survey was developed and validated in order to analyze the role daily hassles play in the workplace. The survey yielded two factors, Interpersonal Hassles and Task Hassles. The former of which was found to be significantly related to the distress consequences of depression, tension/anxiety, somatic complaints, and general feelings of stress. The ultimate goal of this project was to compare chronic and acute stressors. Results from the daily hassles study were ...

The Cross-Validation of AD/HD Instruments and the Relationship to Neurocognitive and Behavioral Measures
Date: August 2002
Creator: Hudson, Christine V.
Description: The purpose of this study was twofold: to determine the construct validities of comparable AD/HD instruments that were developed according to our current, DSM-IV classification system for AD/HD; and to identify potential +neurocognitive and socioemotional markers for AD/HD. The sample consisted of 145 children ages 8 to 11 years of age who were diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD), or Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). Children were administered a battery of neurocognitive tests and completed a self-report measure of personality. Parents completed several, AD/HD instruments pertaining to their children. The AD/HD instruments used in this study were the Attention Deficit Disorder Evaluation Scale-Home Version (ADDES), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Test (ADHDT), and the Attention Problems and Hyperactivity scales from the BASC-Monitor (BASC-M). Of interest was how each AD/HD instrument compared to the DSM-IV, particularly in terms of the cross-consistency of AD/HD subtype classifications. The findings showed that the AD/HD instruments classified participants differently from the initial, DSM-IV entry diagnosis. Rates of agreement were better for some of the AD/HD instruments than for others yet there was little overall consistency. The neurocognitive measures used in the study were the Cognitive Assessment System-Basic Battery scales. The socioemotional measures used in the ...

Depression, Activities of Daily Living, and Retirement
Date: May 2006
Creator: Jackson, Lauren Innes
Description: Depression is a common clinical and subclinical psychiatric disorder in the middle-age to older adult population. This study examined the relationship between depression and activities of daily living (ADLs) in middle-age to older adults. This study examined longitudinal data from the 1998, wave 4, and 2000, wave 5, of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a National Panel Study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging. A negative cross-sectional and longitudinal relationship between higher ADL scores and depression was hypothesized. A goal of the present study was to determine the temporal precedence of these two constructs using a cross-lag panel design to first examine the cross-sectional relationship between ADLs and depression at time-one and at time-two, and then the time-one to time-two longitudinal relationships to examine temporal precedence possible causal relationships. Finally, differences in these correlational relationships by retirement status and then by marital status were tested. There were several interesting findings, including those who were retired in both 1998 and 2000 reported fewer ADLs (i.e., worse functioning), but also reported better health than those who were working in both 1998 and 2000. Similarly, those people who were not married in both 1998 and 2000 reported fewer ADLs but better ...

Developmental Stressors and Associated Coping Skills in the Development of Disordered Eating in College Females
Date: August 2002
Creator: Tripp, Margaret Murphy
Description: There is a lack of clarity in the current literature in how potential etiological factors interact and result in disordered eating. The purpose of this study was to examine an expanded model of Personality, Social Support, Appraisal/Coping Processes, Abuse History, Internalization of Sociocultural Standards, Psychological Disturbances, and Body Disparagement in the development of disordered eating. The current model was evaluated using 276 women in their transition to college, a time period highly associated with symptoms believed to increase a woman's risk for the development of disordered eating including perceived difficulty coping, weight gain, and negative affect. Structural equation modeling was used to allow simultaneous examination of the causal relationships between the factors. Structural analyses confirmed that college women with previous stressful experiences appraised the adjustment to college as more stressful and reported feeling less able to cope with the transition. Those women who identified the transition as overwhelming were also aware of increased negative mood and psychological states since beginning the school semester. Further, women with previous traumatic sexual experiences appeared to be at additional risk for increased negative affective symptoms. The resulting model confirmed that those women who experience negative mood states and those that endorse strong internalization of ...

The Effect of Punishment Threat on Children's Ability to Resist Temptation to Transgress and Lie
Date: December 2001
Creator: Collins, Michelle
Description: Children's response to a resistance-to-temptation (RTT) task was investigated under three punishment threat conditions: negative consequence, removing an anticipated reward, and no explicit punishment. Ninety first and second graders participated in the RTT task and seventy-three parents completed the Behavior Assessment System for Children and the Psychopathy Screening Device. As only 4% of children transgressed, results are unclear. Hypotheses tested using approximations of transgression showed no differences in RTT. Children with temperaments characterized by hyperactivity, impulsivity, attention problems, and conduct problems (HIA-CP) had the highest levels of psychopathic traits compared to all others. In addition, spanked children were rated as having significantly more behavioral problems than non-spanked children. Limitations of the current study and suggestions for future research are discussed.

The Effect of Web-Based Support as an Adjunct to a Self-Help Smoking Cessation Program
Date: August 2002
Creator: Johs-Artisensi, Jennifer Lynn
Description: For the past quarter century, the public has been educated and warned about the dangers of smoking, and both smokers and health researchers have been in search of cost-effective, smoking cessation programs that will lead to long-term cessation. This study used a randomized experimental design to investigate the effectiveness of adding Web-based support materials to a nationally sponsored self-help smoking intervention. There was no significant increase in abstinence rates nor progression through the stages of change by those participants who had access to the Web site. However, there were some overall significant trends that suggested these self-help interventions were successful at decreasing daily rates of smoking and nicotine dependency, as well as tended to encourage repeated quit attempts. Although Web-based supports did not appear to increase the effectiveness of the nationally sponsored self-help intervention, this study demonstrated overall 12 week follow-up abstinence rates of 30-32%--greater than what might be expected, given average success rates of other self-help interventions. This study also supports the notion that women may face additional barriers to smoking cessation. Limitations and implications for future research are discussed.

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2011 Article IV Consultation with PeruPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 11/158
December 14, 2011
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.
On December 05, 2011, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with Peru, and considered and endorsed the staff appraisal without a meeting on a lapse-of-time basis.12
The Peruvian economy emerged largely unscathed from the 2008–09 global crisis supported by strong fundamentals and proactive macroeconomic response. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanded rapidly at 8.75 percent in 2010, one of the highest in the region, driven by private domestic demand. The recovery was propped by significant macroeconomic policy stimuli, a quick turnaround of terms of trade and favorable external financial conditions, with renewed capital inflows. Inflation, after falling to 0.25 percent in 2009, rebounded to 2 percent by end-2010 as demand picked up, the center of the target band of 1–3 percent. A new government, led by President Ollanta Humala, took office in July 2011, promising more social inclusion and continued macroeconomic stability.
Activity is expected to decelerate on the heels of tighter policies and a weaker external demand. Real GDP growth is expected to reach 6.75 percent in 2011, driven mainly by private consumption. Inflation is projected at 3.75 percent at end-2011, due mostly to supply shocks but also some demand pressures. Credit growth has stayed at about 20 percent in 2010–11.The financial sector remains sound, profitable and well-capitalized, assisted by the authorities' active use of prudential instruments.
The outlook is for continued albeit lower growth with short-term risks titled markedly to the downside given global uncertainty. Real GDP growth is projected at 5.25 percent in 2012, slightly below trend (estimated at 6 percent), mostly due to softer external demand conditions, while inflation would decline to 2.5 percent. Inflation expectations for 2012 remain well-anchored on account of the strong inflation targeting framework. The external current account deficit would remain stable at around 2.5 percent of GDP next year as the strong terms of trade continue. Once international turbulence subsides, strong growth prospects in Peru and abundant international liquidity could increase capital inflows.
On the policy front, macroeconomic policies have focused on limiting overheating risks. The government began unwinding the previous fiscal stimulus in 2011. The fiscal position switched to an annualized fiscal surplus of about 5.5 percent of GDP in the first half of 2011 as revenues remained buoyant despite tax cuts, and expenditures were restrained due to low implementation of investment projects at the sub-national level and the presidential elections. Monetary policy has been tightened as demand recovered, with the policy rate increasing a total of 300 basis points to 4.25 percent between mid-2010 and May 2011. This was complemented with active hikes in reserve requirements. Since then, the central bank has remained on hold in light of the uncertain global economic outlook.
Executive Board Assessment
In concluding the 2011 Article IV consultation with Peru, Executive Directors endorsed staff's appraisal, as follows:
The policy mix seems broadly adequate to maintain macro stability and foster growth. The main challenge is to ensure a timely and flexible implementation of policies to confront changing domestic economic conditions in an external environment of heightened uncertainty.
The 2012 budget proposal seems appropriate. Efforts to reinvigorate public spending in the second half of 2011 are welcome as the fiscal stance was becoming somewhat tight. Still, there will be a higher-than-expected surplus for 2011. The proposed 2012 budget, which aims at a surplus of 1 percent of GDP and entails a structural expansion of 0.75 percent of GDP, is broadly adequate as activity is expected to be softer. Additional short-term social spending can be accommodated within the expenditure limits established by the 2012 budget.
Given the uncertain external environment, monetary policy can remain on hold. In view of the expected fall in inflationary pressures (as the impact of higher oil and food prices is absorbed) and the previous tightening in monetary policy, staff supports the central bank decision to keep policy rates unchanged, at least until a clearer picture on the global outlook emerges. The authorities should continue monitoring private credit developments and ensuring risks remain contained.
Against a background of heightened risks to the global outlook, policies should remain flexible. Peru's solid fundamentals and scope for policy response are likely to mitigate the effects of a weak world economy. As a first line of defense, and consistent with the functioning of an inflation targeting regime, monetary policy could be eased as inflation prospects decline and the output gap widens, while fiscal policy activates automatic stabilizers. Against the background of potential global financial volatility, some foreign exchange support would be warranted. Reserve requirements may be loosen if liquidity conditions become stressed or if domestic credit decelerates too rapidly.
Should tail risks in global conditions materialize, additional policy stimulus could be deployed to limit the fallout. The buildup of buffers in the last few years suggests there is space to implement a sizable policy response. Yet, the uncertainty about the nature and duration of the external shock makes advisable a gradual use of these buffers. The central bank has the capacity to inject considerable liquidity and cut rates more aggressively if external financial conditions deteriorate (although potential pressures in the foreign exchange market could become a constraint). As with the fiscal stimulus implemented in 2009, infrastructure and maintenance projects can prove effective to help sustain domestic demand and employment. Under this scenario, the policy response would only help mitigate the shock, with economic activity likely being below potential in the short term. Therefore, it will be important to design and communicate clearly the authorities' strategy and objectives, and ensure continuity in the policy framework.
Giving more weight to structural measures to anchor fiscal policy would help cementing macroeconomic stability. This approach helps reducing procyclicality risks, enhances predictability, and accumulates fiscal buffers. Staff sees merits of targeting moderate structural overall balances of 1 percent of GDP in the medium-term to cope with the volatile global environment, contingent liabilities, and Peru's vulnerability to natural disasters. In the short-term, current Fiscal Responsibility and Transparency Law parameters could be calibrated to maintain a relatively stable structural result, with limits to expenditure growth, unless a discretionary fiscal reaction is called for.
Tax mobilization efforts will be key to the sustainability of the social agenda. Staff welcomes the authorities' plans to strengthen tax administration to increase the tax ratio to 18 percent of GDP by 2016 to provide additional resources to cover increasing social programs and public investments in the medium-term. The approval of the revised mining taxation framework, with due consideration for competitiveness in the sector, is a welcome first step. Staff also welcomes the authorities' efforts to reduce tax evasion, but warns that in the event these efforts did not yield the expected results, tax measures could be considered.
Going forward, Peru's improved fundamentals will foster further de-dollarization, allowing the exchange rate to play a larger role as shock absorber. Staff believes that some additional exchange rate flexibility, gradually implemented, is important for the private sector to strengthen its ability to assess foreign exchange risk, and may contribute to de-dollarize. Financial dollarization remains high and has actually increased in some segments given low international interest rates and appreciation expectations. A gradual increase in exchange rate flexibility would foster the development of hedging instruments and private sector awareness about managing currency risk, thereby allowing the exchange rate to play a larger role as a shock absorber.
The financial sector is strong, and the prudential framework is ahead in the implementation of proposed international standards. Peru's financial sector remains sound, profitable and well-capitalized. Most prudential regulations aligned with Basel III will be applied ahead of the internationally-agreed schedule, with banks well positioned to implement them. Monitoring corporate balance sheets, including foreign exchange and derivative positions, will be critical to assess vulnerabilities. Formalizing an institutional setup for macro-prudential policies would facilitate monitoring systemic risks more effectively, and enhance analysis and coordination across institutions.
Peru's bright economic prospects will benefit from an ambitious reform agenda to maintain high potential growth. Staff concurs with the view that growth will need to be increasingly driven by higher productivity over the medium term. Key pillars to ensure high growth include: (i) enhancing competitiveness by boosting human capital and infrastructure and maintaining labor market flexibility; (ii) improving the business climate to foster investment and innovation (including enhancing formality); and (iii) further developing the local capital markets to facilitate investment and better allocate savings.

Detroit, (November 25, 2012) – With box office revenues exceeding $150,000, this weekend's "Music of Queen" concerts featuring the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) set the box office record for a two-concert Pops weekend for the entire 125-year history of the Orchestra.
"This type of response is unprecedented, especially during a
holiday weekend," said Paul Hogle, DSO Executive Vice President. "We are thrilled to be a part of metro Detroit's holiday plans and look forward to seeing everyone again for our wealth of holiday offerings in December."
Previously only Home for the Holidays, one of the DSO's best sellers, has exceeded $150,000 in ticket revenue, but is always scheduled for at least four concert dates.
Vocalist Brody Dolyniuk revived the spirit and voice of Freddie Mercury to sold out, standing-room-only crowds on Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m., with Brent Havens conducting.
This Pops Series performance was sponsored by Greektown Casino-Hotel and the

Obama Camp Attacks Romney's Record in Massachusetts
The Obama campaign is beginning what aides say will be a prolonged assault on Mitt Romney's record as governor of Massachusetts, arguing that he was a poor steward of the state's economy and that under his leadership, the state government expanded its size and its debt.
To bolster its case, the Obama campaign released a Web video early Thursday and planned a Thursday event in Boston featuring senior strategist David Axelrod and Massachusetts officials who served with Mr. Romney. That's on top of a memo released Wednesday outlining the Obama bill of particulars against Mr. Romney's record. The overall theme: Mr. Romney ran for governor as a job creator and let the state down, and now he's making the same promises as he runs for president.
"Ten years ago, Mitt Romney told the people of Massachusetts that his experience in business uniquely qualified him to strengthen the state's economy," Mr. Axelrod wrote. "Now Romney's back, making the same pitch to America that he did to the people of Massachusetts… It didn't work then, and it won't work now."
The new video amplifies his message with a series of Romney sound bites from his 2002 gubernatorial campaign, where he promises he can create jobs because of his experience in the private sector. It then shows him making the same promises in his current presidential campaign, followed by interviews with local officials arguing that he failed to live up to his 2002 promises. Statistics bolstering the point are sprinkled in.
The most powerful statistic may be that under Mr. Romney, Massachusetts was 47th out of 50 states in job creation, down from 36th when he took office.
The Romney campaign is fighting back with its own bevy of statistics, painting a much rosier picture of his tenure. By the time Mr. Romney left office, a spokeswoman said, the state was creating jobs every month.
"This is another desperate attack from President Obama because he has no positive record to run on," said spokeswoman Andrea Saul. She said Massachusetts did much better during Mr. Romney's tenure as governor – from 2003 to 2007– than the nation has done under Mr. Obama's leadership.
The Obama campaign notes that Mr. Romney was governor at a time when the overall economy was growing, whereas Mr. Obama inherited a recession. The Romney campaign argues Mr. Obama has failed to rescue the economy when it needed it most.
But the two men have something common: an imperative to frame their economic records in a positive light.
The Obama attack reflects one of the president's strategies: cast the presidential election as a choice between two men and two records, rather than simply a referendum on Mr. Obama's record as president Both campaigns believe that a referendum gives Mr. Romney the advantage since the economy remains sluggish.
So how Mr. Romney's tenure as governor is seen matters, and the statistics flew between the campaigns' Chicago and Boston headquarters late Wednesday afternoon. The Obama camp said median wages fell during Mr. Romney's term. The Romney camp said per capita income rose. The Obama camp said that Massachusetts' debt increased. The Romney camp retorted that it was worse before he got there.
An Obama campaign official said the campaign will pursue this line of attack aggressively over the coming months, comparing it to a sustained attack on Mr. Romney's record atop Bain Capital, the private equity firm he co-founded.

The Jamaican bobsled team arrived in Park City, Utah and were probably some of the most famous athletes in town. The team is on their way to the 2014 Sochi Olympics and their journey has been difficult. According to the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday the team has qualified, but they are still searching for donations so they can get to Sochi. The team needs $80,000 and with the Olympics roughly three weeks away it's come down to the wire for financial support.
A stop at the Sundance Film Festival was one way to pick up support. Mingling with the stars and looking for donors, the team seemed relaxed and delighted in sharing their hopes and dreams for the Winter Olympics. Don't worry about the time off needed to get to Park City as the team is practicing near the resort town and didn't need to drive too far to see all the famous faces of Hollywood.
While the Jamaican bobsled team is working out their dream run for the Olympics, the world has stepped in to help them financially. Strangers, fans and even a few bobsledding enthusiasts have come together to raise more than $121,000 as of Tuesday morning. Putting the funds together on the crowdfunding site Crowdtilt, the team looks to be well on their way to Sochi to compete for the gold.
Hopefully before the team got a few autographs from the stars at the Sundance Film Festival too. As the chance to meet some of Hollywood's elite is just like going for the gold!

According to Mark Mackinnon of the Globe and Mail on Sunday, Calgary native Sam Edney was a little disappointed with his 11th place finish in the men's luge competition.
However Edney placed 11th in a very deep Olympic field, and although he would have probably liked to have duplicated his fifth place finish from the 2013 World Luge Championships in Whistler, the bottom line is he has his best chance for a medal in the mixed relay luge event which will take place on Thursday.
So Edney will need to focus now on regrouping psychologically and get in the right mindset for what could be the most important race of his life. Canada is seeded second in the mixed relay luge competition, and no Canadian in the history of the Olympic Winter Games has won a medal in luge.
The men's luge competition Sunday meanwhile was won by German great Felix Loch, followed by Albert Demchenko of Russia and Armin Zoeggeler of Italy.
Edney was not the only Canadian Olympian who showed disappointment on Sunday. Spencer O'Brien of Courtenay, British Columbia was very emotional after finishing 12th in women's slopestyle snowboarding despite being the reigning world champion. The difference between Edney and O'Brien however is that Edney has a second chance for a medal.

"Prep for tables and keeping that one stray fly off!"
Ms Delaney
17 October 2012
These really have been a good product in my home. There always seems to be that one fly that pops up from somewhere. What I really like about these is they collapse and don't take up valuable cupboard space - slip them down the side of the cupboard and you don't know they are there until you need them and they wipe clean too! I have people asking me to get them some!

Andrew Samwick is a Research Associate in the NBER's Programs on Aging and Public Economics and the co-chair of the NBER's Social Security Working Group. He is the Sandra L. and Arthur L. Irving '72a, P'10 Professor of Economics and Director of the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and the Social Sciences at Dartmouth College.
Samwick served as the Chief Economist on the staff of the Council of Economic Advisers in 2003-04. He has testified several times before Congress on social security's financial condition and its possible reform, and in 1999 and 2011, he served on the Social Security Advisory Board's Technical Panel on Assumptions and Methods. He is an editor of Economics Letters and blogs about economics and current events at Capital Gains and Games (www.capitalgainsandgames.com).
Samwick's research interests are in the areas of pensions and saving, executive compensation, taxation and portfolio choice, and social security.In recent work, he and Dartmouth and NBER co-author Erzo Luttmer investigate the welfare costs of perceived political uncertainty in social security. Through the use of an original internet survey, they show that on average households would be willing to forego 4-6 percent of the benefits they are supposed to get under current law to remove the political uncertainty associated with their future benefits. In current work, he is comparing the efficiency and equity properties of means-testing federal health entitlement benefits based on current income to alternatives based on concepts of lifetime average income that underlie the calculation of social security benefits.
Samwick received his A.B. in Economics summa cum laude from Harvard College and his Ph.D. in Eco-nomics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has been a visiting professor at Columbia University's Graduate School of Business. In 2009, he was selected as the New Hampshire Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education.
Samwick lives in Norwich, Vermont, with his wife, Terry, and their two children. They enjoy skiing down nearby mountains when they are covered with snow and hiking up them when they are not. Samwick serves as a trustee of the Montshire Museum of Science and a director of the Hanover Conservancy and the Ledyard Financial Group (LFGP).

Album: Am I Going Crazy
Genre: R&B
Was it (just) my imagination
Just running away with me
I could have sworn she looked at him
The way she looks at me
Was I only hearing things
When she picked up the phone
Or did I really hear her say
"Don't call me at home"?
I'm losing sleep just wondering
If I'm losing her
Oh my head's just spinning round
And around and nothing's for sure
Am I going crazy
Or just out of her mind
Am I just seeing things
Or is she seeing some other guy
Lately it seems like
She don't need my time
Am I going crazy
Or just out of her mind
Is it me she's loving
When I'm holding her at night
I may not know what's wrong with us
But I do know things aren't right
If I'm only going crazy
I could live with that in time
But if she's really leaving me
(But if I'm really losing her)
I'll go out of my mind

I would like to use GDB to step though the C++ code that makes up the php.so Apache extension. I want to see what PHP is doing while it's running a PHP application. Preferably I would use an IDE like Netbeans or Eclipse on a LAMP system.
Have fun!
Maybe you could do that on windows.
However, your best bet is to do this on a Unix box. You will have to compile everything with debugging enabled. GDB will need access to those directories for source.
Then you will have to run apache and then run the process.
In order to give yourself time to attache while you are hitting the PHP/Apache with a browser, add a sleep call in the PHP script. If you ps, you will see the process in the sleep state. Or you could just have it write its process id to a file in tmp before it does the sleep.

(3) SMU Mustangs (11-7-1, 7-3-1) vs. (6) Rice (9-7-3, 4-5-2)
Nov. 2 – 2:30 p.m.
Mike Rose Soccer Complex - Memphis, Tenn.
SMU vs. RICE
The Mustangs hold an 11-4-1 record all-time in the series with the Owls. On Sept. 30, SMU dropped a tight 1-0 match at home to Rice. In a deadlocked match for 80-plus minutes, Rice's Gabriela Iribarne and Quynh-Nuh Truong got on a 2-on-1 break deep in SMU's half in the 84th minute. Irabarne passed the ball to Truong on the left side, who then slotted a shot to the right side of the goal past Courtney Webb for the game-winner.
During last season's regular season contest, the Owls also defeated the Mustangs by a one goal margin in a 2-1 overtime game at Rice Track/Soccer Stadium. Like this season, SMU and Rice also met in the quarterfinals of the C-USA Championship. In a scoreless match through 110 minutes, the Mustangs took a bit of revenge for the regular season matchup by bouncing the Owls out of the tournament 4-2 in penalty kicks as goalkeeper Courtney Webb not only stopped Rice's first two attempts, but also converted her attempt.
SMU got out in front of Tulsa early as Briana Gaines got on the end of a 40-yard free kick from Courtney Smith in the 12th minute and Olivia Elliott punched in a shot from close range in the 20th minute to give the Ponies a 2-0 lead. The Golden Hurricane quickly responded as Claire Hulcer hit a shot from 20 yards out to cut the lead in half. SMU held on for the one-goal victory in what turned out to be a physical clash between regional rivals that saw 30 fouls called.
SMU has scored 27 goals on the year, with nine different players finding the back of the net, including one own goal. Kenzie Scovill currently leads the team with five goals. Of the team's 18 assists, 12 different players have tallied at least one, with Courtney Smith leading the team with four.
In 18 starts, goalkeeper Courtney Webb has recorded 61 saves, earning four shutouts. The senior currently holds a career-high 0.98 goals against average, which ranks fifth among keepers in Conference USA.
Mustang newcomers have accounted for 28 of the team's 72 points, including 12 of the team's 27 goals. Freshmen forwards Olivia Elliot and Briana Gaines are tied for second on the team with four goals apiece, while fellow freshman Rikki Clarke and sophomore Amelia Ambrose each have a pair of goals. Gaines has also picked up a pair of assists, while Clarke and Elliott have recorded one. Ambrose, Clarke Elliott and Gaines have all scored one game-winning goal.
Fifteen of the Mustangs 19 games this season have been decided by one goal, with a 16th game resulting in a 3-3 tie. On the year, SMU is 8-7 in games decided by one goal, going 2-5 on the road in those games and 6-3 in conference play. Too add to the drama, the Mustangs have won three games this season by scoring the game-winning goal with under 10 minutes to play, with two occurring in the final two minutes. SMU also tied up the match at Memphis with a goal by Amelia Ambrose with a minute and half left in regulation. Ambrose, Gaines and Smith have scored the late-game winners.
If the Mustangs defeat Rice, they will face the winner of the Colorado College/UTEP match in the Conference USA semifinals on Friday, Nov. 4 at 5 p.m. SMU dropped a 1-0 match to Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Oct. 21, while the team rallied back from a 1-0 halftime deficit in El Paso, Texas, to knock off UTEP 2-1.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - Stanford is the opponent at Utah's first home meet against a conference foe since joining the Pac-12 this year. This is a return trip for the Cardinal, who last year handed Utah its first home loss in four years in a dual meet that was decided in the final rotation. The competition also serves as the last in a series of five consecutive road meets for the Cardinal, including four against conference opponents. The Cardinal has produced its three highest team scores of the season over the past three weeks and expects to continue its improvement as gymnasts continue to get healthy from preseason injuries.
What: No. 12 Stanford (7-2) at No. 5 Utah (5-1)
When: Friday, 6 p.m. PT
Where: Huntsman Center, Salt Lake City, Utah

Road Trip: Stanford is on the final leg of its five-week road stretch, having already traveled to Oregon State, UCLA, Cal, and Fort Worth, Texas. Stanford is 3-2 so far on the trip, including 1-2 against Pac-12 teams. The stretch has taken Stanford to the three toughest environments for visitors in the conferernce: Oregon State, UCLA, and Utah.
Team Scores in the National Rankings: Stanford ranks in the national top 20 in every event by average scores, with Regional Qualifying Scores and ranking in parentheses:
Team: 12th, 195.725 (13th, 195.580)
Vault: 17th, 48.942 (18th, 48.870)
Bars: 7th, 49.092 (8th, 49.030)
Beam: 11th, 48.767 (14th, 48.685)
Floor: 15th, 48.925 (19th, 48.855)
Individuals in the National Rankings: Here is how Stanford gymnasts rank among the nation's top 25 in each event by average scores:
All-Around: 21st, Nicole Pechanec, 39.288
Vault: 21st, Samantha Shapiro, 9.875; 21st, Alyssa Brown, 9.875
Beam: 20th, Shona Morgan, 9.829
Floor: 4th, Nicole Pechanec, 9.900; 16th, Ashley Morgan, 9.867
Average Scores Throughout the Lineup: Here is Stanford's average-score range from 1-6 in each event:
Vault: 9.875 (Alyssa Brown, Samantha Shapiro)-9.788
Bars: 9.825 (Samantha Shapiro)-9.663
Beam: 9.829 (Shona Morgan)-9.654
Floor: 9.900 (Nicole Pechanec)-9.635
All-Around: 39.288 (Nicole Pechanec)-38.867 (two total)
Friday's Opponent, Utah: Utah (5-1) is in its first season in the Pac-12 and is playing host to its first conference opponent since joining. Utah has won its past five meets, including over perennially strong programs Georgia and Michigan. Utah's only loss came in the season opener to UCLA.
Utah is ranked No. 5 by season average (196.721) and has a season high of 197.550. Utah is fourth in the nation in vault (49.288), eighth on bars (49.063), third on beam (49.167), and first on floor (49.204). The team's top all-arounder is Corrie Lothrop, who carries a 39.367 average and is ranked No. 13 in the nation.
The 2011 Utah-Stanford Matchup: On Jan. 28, 2011, Danille Ikoma nailed her balance beam routine to give No. 2 Stanford a pressure-packed 196.825-196.500 victory over No. 4 Utah at the Huntsman Center. With the teams deadlocked going into the final rotation - the beam for Stanford and the floor exercise for Utah -- Stanford suffered a blow when its third gymnast fell. Because five of the six scores count, the Cardinal could not afford another miss. Instead, Ashley Morgan followed with a 9.90, and Shelley Alexander scored a 9.80. That left the meet up to Ikoma. A fall would doom Stanford, a clean routine would win it. Ikoma stayed focused and aggressive and tied her career-best with a 9.875 to ensure the victory.
The Utah-Stanford Series: Utah holds a commanding 16-4 all-time lead in the series, though Stanford has won their two most recent meetings, in a 2011 dual and finishing fourth to Utah's sixth at the 2010 NCAA Super Six finals. Ten of their past 12 meetings have come in NCAA postseason competition, including five in the Super Six. Before 2010, Utah had won five consecutive meetings. Until last year, Stanford had never beaten Utah in Salt Lake City.
Last Week: Ashley Morgan won two events and was among three Stanford gymnasts to match the team's highest individual score this season during the Cardinal's victory in the three-team Metroplex Challenge at the Fort Worth Convention Center Arena on Saturday. No. 12 Stanford (7-2) scored 196.375 points to beat Bridgeport (193.600) and Brown (191.725). Morgan won the uneven bars (9.875) and tied with teammate Nicole Pechanec to win the floor exercise, each with a 9.925 - a score reached only twice all season in all events. Shona Morgan a scored a collegiate career high, also at 9.925, to win the beam.
Stanford's Most Recent Lineup: This was the lineup Stanford used in its most recent meet, at the Metroplex Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas, on Saturday. The Cardinal earned its second-highest score of the season (196.375) while beating Bridgeport and Brown:
Vault: Lucy Meyer, Pauline Hanset, Ashley Morgan, Ivana Hong, Alyssa Brown, Nicole Dayton.
Bars: Rebecca Wing, Nicole Dayton, Samantha Shapiro, Shona Morgan, Ashley Morgan, Nicole Pechanec.
Beam: Rebecca Wing, Ivana Hong, Ashley Morgan, Shona Morgan, Amanda Spinner, Alyssa Brown.
Floor: Nicole Dayton, Rebecca Wing, Shona Morgan, Pauline Hanset, Nicole Pechanec, Ashley Morgan.
Stanford's All-Conference Gymnasts: Stanford has three gymnasts who have earned all-conference honors:
Alyssa Brown, sr.: A first-team All-Pac-10 selection on balance beam in 2011 and a 2010 second-team selection ... tied for fifth in the conference on vault the past two seasons, and was seventh on beam and eighth on bars in 2011 ... in her second year as team captain ... Canadian national champ on vault and beam in 2006.
Ashley Morgan, jr.: Tied for the 2011 Pac-10 championship on floor with a score of 9.90 ... named to the All-Pac-10 first team on floor ... an All-Pac-10 second-team choice on the floor as a freshman ... has the nation's highest average on the floor in 2011 (9.914) ... has earned 12 meet victories on floor over the past two seasons.
Nicole Pechanec, sr.: An All-Pac-10 second-team selection on the floor in both 2011 and 2010 ... hit 9.9's in three events last season and 9.925 on the bars and floor this year ... has been Stanford's top all-arounder this season, setting her career best of 39.325 on Feb. 5 at UCLA ... has competed in three World Championships for the Czech Republic ... invented a release move on bars that is officially named after her, and is called the "Pechancova," for her Czech surname.
The Fab Five: The Stanford freshman class figures to be one of the best in school history. The class is comprised of two-time U.S. senior national champion Ivana Hong, U.S. national team member Samantha Shapiro, 2008 British Olympian Becky Wing, and two-time Junior Olympic national qualifiers Alex Archer and Pauline Hanset. Hong and Shapiro have been limited by injuries, though they are getting healthier. All have made an impact in the lineup. Shapiro has the team's highest average on bars and vault, Hong has scored 9.9's on vault and beam, Wing has performed at leadoff in three events, Hanset has scored three consecutive 9.85's on floor, and Archer has been a regular in the vault lineup.
Pac-12 Leads in National Titles: With the addition of Utah, the Pac-12 now matches the Southeastern Conference for the most NCAA women's gymnastics championships, with 15 apiece. Utah has won nine and UCLA six.
International Experience: Stanford's roster includes seven gymnasts with senior national team experience. The list includes two Olympians, two Olympic alternates, two U.S. senior national team competitors, and five World Championships veterans. This list doesn't include Kristina Vaculik, who is taking a year off from school to prepare for the 2012 Olympics, which her Canadian team has qualified for.
Senior Alyssa Brown was a 2008 Canadian Olympic team alternate, competed in two World Championships, and won a silver on vault at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. She is a two-time Canadian champion.
Freshman Pauline Hanset represented Belgium, the country of her birth, in a four-nation meet in Germany in 2011.
Freshman Ivana Hong, a national champion on vault and beam in 2009, was a 2008 U.S. Olympic team alternate. She was a bronze medalist on the beam at the 2009 World Championships and a team gold medalist at the 2007 worlds. Hong also earned a 2007 Pan Am Games bronze in the all-around.
Sophomore Shona Morgan competed for Australia in the 2008 Olympics, finishing 15th in the all-around. She was a five-time national champion and competed in three World Championships.
Senior Nicole Pechanec competed in three World Championships and two European Championships for the Czech Republic, the home country of her parents, and won a Czech national title on floor.
Freshman Samantha Shapiro competed for the U.S. senior national team from 2009-11, winning several international meet titles. Earlier, she won three U.S. junior national championships.
Freshman Rebecca Wing competed for Great Britain in the 2008 Olympics. She also competed in two World Championships and two European Championships.
Super Six Experience: Stanford has four gymnasts who were part of the lineups that competed in the 2010 NCAA Super Six finals in Gainesville, Fla., on the Cardinal's fourth-place team. They are: Alyssa Brown, Ashley Morgan, Nicole Pechanec, and Jenny Peter.
2011 in Review: Stanford went 20-4 in the 2011 regular season, opening with a school-record 15 consecutive victories. The Cardinal went 6-2 against teams that advanced to the NCAA Super Six finals, including handing Utah its first home loss in four years and Michigan its first in three. The Cardinal also displayed a measure of perseverance, three times rallying from behind or a tie in the final rotation to win.
But with six gymnasts sidelined for the season with injuries, there was added responsibility on the remaining nine, who, by the end of the year, were tired. The Cardinal finished fourth in the Pac-10 and fourth in the NCAA Ann Arbor Regional, finishing one place from a fifth consecutive NCAA Championships berth.

Five NCAA Super Six appearances (most recent in 2010)
Three top-four NCAA finishes (most recent, fourth in 2010)
Eight top-10 NCAA finishes

The extremes in our government are dangerous. President Obama should not be left to freelance because he is simply not that good. His management approach is faulty and his judgment is too. That doesn't mean that he is not well intentioned. His own party's leadership have failed him by permitting him to flail on his own. The Republicans have failed Americans by not being diligent and effective in working with the president. All incumbents should be looking for new jobs because none are worthy of reelection on merit.
There is a concept that should apply here, and it is called "outcome-driven government." I'll be attending a conference next week sponsored by the Association for Enterprise Information to learn more about it. I think I know quite a bit because I wrote a book on the subject with Dr. James Rodger called Smart Data, Enterprise Performance Optimization Strategy © 2010 Wiley Publishing. It is still gaining traction.
It is disturbing to see our senior leadership in government playing political games day in and day out instead of focusing on required outcomes. We the People demand a nation that is secure to a metric of 100% certainty. We don't have that today. Evidence is when a two-bit terrorist organization in Afghanistan can whip America and other nations around at will. Do we honestly believe that they cannot reach us with their terror when they already have a successful track record?
Wake up and sober up. Demand foreign policy that makes sense, and that is backed up with meaningful deeds and accomplishments. That is outcome-driven government.

Juggling my roles as wife, homemaker, and mother of four
For More Wordless Wednesdays, click here

Wanna know how to get your husband to remember your birthday, anniversary, Valentine's Day, or other special occasion? I have a novel idea for you, that has worked well for me these past 7 years.
Tell him!
My husband is horrible with calendars. His mind just simply doesn't work that way. Quiz him on the date of my birthday and, given some time to think, he will probably get it. Ask him how far away that is and he will have no clue (He would need time to figure out which month we were in first). He just lives each day one at a time and counts on me, his faithful
PDA wife to keep him from missing planned events.
I, however, could tell you the birth date of my elementary school friend whom I haven't seen in over 15 years (can your PDA do that?). And to top it off, I LOVE holidays. I continually look forward to the next holiday… we've had Flag Day celebrations and cinco de Mayo dinners… but birthdays are the biggest deal of all. (With Jesus' birth at Christmas being the number 1 celebrated event at our house)! My excitement for my birthday is very similar to that of my 4 year old sons for his own. I really am looking that much forward to it. I don't know what it is, but I have always been that way. I love my birthday and love celebrating it. I just think it is so cool that it is your day, the day you were born. (Perhaps this makes me a bit self centered).
Now, I could say, "Well, if he really loved me, he'd just remember my birthday." But, what kind of PDA would I be if I told him everything but the dates I cared about? And what good does that do me? I know without a doubt that my husband loves me deeply. I also know that if I didn't mention that my birthday was coming he'd get to the day or or day after and have to enter a date on something and suddenly realize he's in trouble. Would this make me happier on my birthday?
Instead, I tell him. About a month before I say, "My birthday is in a month." About two weeks before (right about the time when I know shipping dates for online ordering start to matter) I say something again. I actually do the same for him. He would seriously have no idea that his birthday was only one month away if I didn't start counting down for him in late April (I can't even fathom such a lack of anticipation).
This could seem to some like nagging, but I can honestly say it isn't. I remember our first summer of married life we were about 5 weeks from my birthday and I brought it up (not as a reminder but b/c I was just excited that it was coming up in 5 weeks) and I said something like, "I don't think your excited enough about my birthday… it's only 5 weeks away!" This totally made my husband laugh.
In honor of my birthday this week, I wanted to share what works for me with wives who have husbands that may not think in terms of days and months. Lovingly remind him of the day, give him ample warning to prepare, and then enjoy your special day. To find out what works for others, check out Rocks in My Dryer.

I LOVE Chick-Fil-A. I could go on and on about how family friendly they are, how good their food is, how I think Truitt Cathy is such a great example of a godly businessman… but I will save my love affair with Chick-Fil-A, the inventors of the chicken sandwich, for another post, or two…
Friday was Cow Appreciation Day. I know this because I subscribe to the Chick-Fil-A e-mail updates and I am in on all things up and coming at Chick-Fil-A. (See, I wasn't kidding when I said I love Chick-Fil-A). How does one celebrate such an occasion, you may ask? Well, Chick-Fil-A offered free meals to anyone dressed like a cow.
So, I did what any good mother would do,
I dressed up put my three helpless children in cow costumes and took them to Chick-Fil-A for dinner.
Their willingness to parade around in public dressed as bovines, combined with the free coupons I had allowed me to feed my family of 5 dinner for only $6.28.
We had a fantastic time, eating our favorite fast food and playing on the in door play equipment. Scott couldn't help but snap a few pictures of our family fun night.
Mooing for her supper!!
A good time was had by all! My 2 year old didn't want to take off her costume… she went to bed dressed as a cow.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – No. 3 Stanford got five goals from Maggie Steffens, including three in the third period, to pull away from No. 10 San Jose State and collect a 16-9 MPSF road win Saturday.
The Cardinal (11-1, 1-0 MPSF) travels to Fresno next Saturday for a doubleheader, taking on Loyola Marymount and Fresno Pacific at 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., respectively.
Along with the fiver from Steffens, the Cardinal got a hat trick from Annika Dries as well as two goals apiece from Ashley Grossman, Kiley Neushul and Anna Yelizarova Saturday. Jamie Neushul and Kelsey Suggs each added a goal as well.
In the cage, Gabby Stone made four saves in the opening half before Emily Dorst came on for the final 16 minutes, stopping five shots.
Stanford scored four of the first five goals of the second half, turning a two-goal halftime lead in an 11-6 cushion with 3:29 remaining in the third period. After Steffens and Rae Lekness, who ended the game with four goals for the Spartans, traded goals over the opening 40 seconds, Kiley and Jamie Neushul netted goals and Steffens got her second of the frame to complete a 3-0 run.
Lekness recorded a power-play goal with 2:48 to go in the period but Dries and Steffens answered within the next 1:19, and the Cardinal never led by less than five goals the rest of the way.
The Spartans (13-8, 0-1 MPSF) had kept it close into the second frame Saturday. Suggs and Yelizarova scored in the first to put the Cardinal up 2-0, but San Jose State scored two of the next three from Lekness and Bianca Seyfert to close to 3-2 with 6:55 left in the first half.
Yelizarova and Kiley Neushul responded with goals to get the Cardinal lead up to 5-2, and Stanford would keep its advantage at three at the half, leading 7-4.
Stanford – 2 5 6 3 = 16
San Jose State – 1 3 4 1 = 9
Stanford Goal Scorers: Steffens 5, Dries 3, Grossman 2, K. Neushul 2, Yelizarova 2, J. Neushul, Suggs
San Jose State Goal Scorers: Lekness 4, Smith 2, Espar, Molnar, Seyfert
Goalie Saves: Stone 4, Dorst 5 (S); Reardon 9 (SJSU)

A Forsyth County deputy shot and killed a man who allegedly confronted the officer during a domestic-related call early Friday morning.
So far, officials have not released the man's identity nor the identity of the deputy involved in the shooting. But the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been called in to determine exactly what happened, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office.
Still, officials have release some details on what happened.
At 12:12 a.m. someone at a home in the 7900 block of Nicholson Road called 911 to report a domestic-related incident with a gun involved, the sheriff's spokesman Deputy Doug Rainwater said.
About three minutes later, three deputies arrived and entered the home, Deputy Rainwater said.
"When deputies arrived and went inside the house, one of the deputies was threatened (by) a man with a gun and the deputy shot and killed the man," Deputy Rainwater said.
He declined to comment on whether any words were exchanged between the man, who was reported to be 52 years old and the deputy, before the shooting.
The three deputies have been placed on routine administrative leave, Deputy Rainwater said.

Editor's note: This is the first in a series of stories about the newest members of the defending Pac-12-champion Stanford football team. Each week, Mark Soltau will profile one or more of the freshman, as they transition to their new surroundings and prepare for the start of the 2013 season. This week, he sat down with wide receiver Francis Owusu from Oxnard, Calif. and outside linebacker Mike Tyler from Brecksville, Ohio.
For a guy who had just completed his first yoga class, Mike Tyler looked surprising fresh. Not that it was a pushover.
"We went with a few veteran players," he said. "It was really interesting. A lot of flexibility stuff similar to the training we're doing with Shannon Turley (Sports Performance Coordinator for Football). It was surprisingly difficult."
Not as tough as learning how to get around the Stanford campus. All 11 Stanford freshman recruits are staying in Governors Corner and are enrolled in summer school. Although they have had two weeks to explore and discover shortcuts – most ride bikes – the majority are still getting lost.
"We have our landmarks," said Tyler. "Unfortunately, we're housed in the furthest dorms possible from the football field."
Even Owusu, whose older brother Chris '11 had a distinguished playing career with the Cardinal, is still feeling his way.
"It's definitely tough," he said. "Hopefully I'll get adjusted before school starts."
Tyler said the biggest eye-opener for him is how friendly and outgoing the staff and students have been.
"Honestly, just how nice everyone has been," said Tyler, whose hometown is about 20 minutes south of Cleveland. "Just how people interact with me. When I go to class, it's not like, 'Oh, there's a football player next to me.' Everyone is so kind and introduces themselves immediately. The professors are awesome."
Owusu comes from an athletic family. In addition to Chris, his father ran the 400 meters for the Ghanaian Olympic team (Francis later did, as well); his brother Brian plays football at Harvard; and his sister Crystal plays basketball at Columbia.
Chris, now a wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has only given his younger brother two words of advice.
"Every time I ask him he always says the same thing: 'Time management,' " Francis said. "You have to be able to manage your time because football takes a lot of time here, but studies always come first. I'm definitely trying to ingrain that in my head."
Last year at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High, Tyler set a single-season school record with 18 sacks. All told, he had 89 tackles and forced three fumbles.
"I prided myself in getting to the quarterback and my speed off the edge," said Tyler.
He will likely play outside linebacker at Stanford, which fielded one of the top defenses in the country last season, leading the nation in sacks (57) and ranked second in tackles for loss (38).
"That was the coolest thing was watching the players on the team and watching where I was going," Tyler said. "Watching Chase Thomas and a few of the others and watching schemes. Eventually, they sent me the huddle film of the spring game and some of their practices and I've been watching them a lot, trying to get down the schemes."
Owusu played for powerhouse Oaks Christian in Westlake Village, Calif., which runs a no-huddle, spread offense. Last year, he caught 50 passes for 935 yards and 11 touchdowns, and rushed seven times for 206 yards and two scores. At 6-3, 193 pounds, he is a big target, explosive, and wants the ball at crunch time.
"I'd say making the big catch at the end of the game," he said, when asked about his favorite part of playing football. "I've done that a couple times and it's just a great feeling knowing that you have helped your team to victory."
Owusu said he had added motivation to produce last year.
"I wanted to prove a point that I was one of the best guys out there," said Owusu. "I didn't just want to have my name out there because of Chris. I want to make a name for myself."
Tyler and Owusu said their decisions to attend Stanford came easily.
"When I came for my visit, I was just amazed at how magnificent and big everything is and how well everything is taken care of," Tyler said. "It's been my dream school since I was younger. It's just the perfect balance between elite football and awesome academics, and has a really good engineering program, too."
For Owusu, it came down to Stanford and Harvard.
"When I first came here about six years ago during my brother's junior-year visit, I knew Stanford was the place for me," he said. "I got to look at the campus and saw Hoover Tower and thought, 'Wow, I just love this place.' Chris loved it, too. You can't beat Stanford."
How much Owusu and Tyler contribute this year, remains to be seen. Both are working hard in summer conditioning drills to prove they belong and said the returning veterans have gone out of their way to provide advice and encouragement.
"The big thing is just to be ready for the upcoming season," said Tyler. "Just learning the ropes. What they always say is, 'The first time you learn, the second time you get better, and the third time you dominate.' ''
Added Owusu, "It's all on me. It's what I do this year. I have to prove to the coaches that I'm able to help the team. If I'm up to the task, I'll be in the mix."

it was included in the SEC filing:
Christopher L. Coccio, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, R. Stephen Harshbarger, the Company's President, and Stephen J. Bagley, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, are currently compensated at the annual salaries of $150,000, $200,000 and $140,000, respectively. On May 19, 2016, Dr. Coccio and Mr. Harshbarger proposed a 50% salary reduction for the fiscal quarter beginning June 1, 2016 and ending August 31, 2016 and Mr. Bagley proposed a 15% salary reduction for the same period. The salary reduction was accepted by the Company's Board of Directors on May 19, 2016.
Been through this before a couple years ago, but company is much stronger this time around. Immediately after the news, officers and directors took voluntary pay cuts beginning June 1. Bottom line will not be terrible as a result.
Be patient and nibble on the way down. We wanted to be able to buy shares below $1.00 and now we can.
Not too unhappy about this...it's an opportunity to get positioned for the next up cycle.
My GTC at $5.10 was filled.
A total of 1000 shares were filled below $5.00 when the volume spiked at the open. Not clear if it was a block that was dumped or if a bunch of stop loss orders executed as the shares approached $5.00. Unless you had a GTC order out there before the open, not much chance to get anything near the lows.
right now it's just computers driving it lower. I'm watching it. Every 10 or 11 minutes when there's no activity it's selling 100 shares at the bid.
That was the same thing ETrade was doing for a while after the shares fell. Over the past couple months they removed whatever the restriction was so online is ok again. Merrill still makes you call in or use their SafePass.
to whoever just gave me shares at $5.35
now the computer systems are ganging up at $5.85
we're going to need a big buyer, or a concerted effort to get over $5.85...hopefully the coming earnings announcement will do it.
could be - we'll see if any Form 4's get filed by any insiders
31,880 @ $1.01
31,000 @ $1.02
50,000 @ $1.04
I want more shares, but also would like to pay under $1.00 ... might not happen if these large buys continue.
we've seen this before. we went through it a couple years ago. you, me, and phil know what happened and it will likely happen again. at that time, not only did the company maintain the dividend, it was increased.
the current price target is $8 and it will move higher over the summer as we get there.
we're going to see earnings increase and then it's going to accelerate because this time we have what we didn't have last time - a little diversification.
in the past, we all know the earnings were very lumpy and because of that, we'd see the extreme fluctuation in the share price. now, having additional revenue streams, we should show better profitability quarter to quarter.
I think it's going to get exciting - not only through the summer, but for the next couple years as well.
We have a squatter who has been sitting with a GTC sell order for 4000 shares at $5.85 for at least the past week. Someone is going to have to take it out before we move higher. It appears that we are stuck in this $5.75-$5.84 range until that happens.
trying to contain my excitement.
they may try to do a deep dive flash crash on the shares soon

Mark Hominick weighs-in for UFC 58: USA vs. Canada. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
TKO Championship Fighting announced over the weekend that they have signed former featherweight champion Mark Hominick to a long-term deal.
Hominick last fought for the promotion in December, winning a unanimous decision over Danny Martinez. He was granted his release from World Extreme Cagefighting following a submission loss to Josh Grispi in February.
"I'm so thrilled to be back fighting for the TKO organization and in front of the Montreal crowd," Hominick said in a press release sent out to the media. I've always felt like Montreal and TKO was like my home. More than anything else, I want to be the TKO champion once again and I'm willing to fight whoever they put in front of me to get my title back."
According to TKO President Stephane Patry, Hominick's new deal makes him one of the highest-paid fighters in the Quebec-based organization.
"I've always been the world's biggest fan of Mark Hominick and he's always been a top priority for me and the whole TKO organization," Patry said. "We sat down with his new management group and we reached a very good deal with Mark that makes him one of the highest paid fighters in the organization and he deserved it."
Hominick is also currently slated to likely be part of Affliction Clothing's inaugural show in July. The event will reportedly be headlined by a heavyweight clash between top ranked Fedor Emelianenko and former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia.
