SUN DEVIL DIGITS: The Sun Devil men's hoops team, averaging 77.2 points in its 16-5 start, plays at Stanford on Saturday,Feb. 1, at 1 p.m. PT on the Pac-12 Network and 620 AM/98.7 FM. ASU has won three straight (vs. Utah, Colorado and at California) and has guaranteed itself a winning loop record at the midway point of the Pac-12 season. ASU will try and sweep the Bay Area road trip for the first time since the 2004-05 season and sweep a Pac-10 road trip for the first time since a 2009-10 sweep at the Oregons.
THIS IS AN EYE OPENER: According to the NCAA updated stats Friday morning and its "toughest schedule" chart, ASU's future opponents are currently 100-37 (.730), which is best percentage in the nation.
WORTH A MENTION EARLY: Jordan Bachynski entered Pac-12 play this season a career .566 free throw shooter (180-of-318). In Pac-12 games this year he is shooting 32-of-39 (.821) from the line.
SINCE THAT LINEUP CHANGE: ASU shook things up a little when it started Eric Jacobsen (one career start prior) vs. Utah on Jan. 23 and decided to bring Jon Gilling off the bench…ASU has won three straight since…Giling, who had started 71 straight games, is 8-of-12 (.667) from three and 10-of-16 (.625) from the floor and averaging 10.7 points and five boards…Jacobsen is averaging 5.7 points and 4.3 rebounds in those three games (2.1 ppg and 1.7 rpg prior)…ASU was being outrebounded in the first 18 games, but in last three is outrebounding opponents by five per game.
SERIES INFO: Stanford holds a 44-31 edge over Arizona State in the all-time series, which originated in 1957. The Cardinal, which has won seven of the last 10 meetings, had its six-game winning streak snapped when the Sun Devils prevailed 89-88 in overtime last March in the opening round of the Pac-12 Tournament. Stanford won last year's only regular-season meeting, defeating Arizona State 62-59 in Tempe.
AUTISM AWARENESS: Coach Sendek and Johnny Dawkins are two of nearly 100 men's basketball coaches throughout the country that will be wearing the "Autism Speaks" pin on suit jackets Saturday. Towson's Pat Skerry and Marshall's Tom Herrion, each who have sons on the autism spectrum, have started a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about this disease.
SO MANY BIG GAMES LEFT: One peek at the Sun Devil schedule shows tons of big opportunities, as ASU has 10 conference games left including RPI heavy teams Arizona (2), Colorado (24), Oregon (44), Stanford (49), and California (51). The Sun Devils are the only Pac-12 school with all those on their schedule twice, and no one else even has UA, UO and CU twice. ASU does not play the Washington or the LA schools again.
ASU 89, @CAL 78, OT (1/29/14): ASU led for 19:45 of the first half, pushed the lead to 16 early in the second half, gave up the lead with 45 seconds left, was down three with 25 ticks left yet forced overtime on a Jermaine Marshall three-pointer with 19 seconds left and ASU outscored Cal 17-6 in overtime for the win Wednesday…Jahii Carson had 29 points, while Jermaine Marshall had 22…ASU was 9-of-19 from the three-point stripe, while Cal was 4-of-13…ASU outrebounded Cal 39-32 and made 12-of-16 (.750) free throws in overtime to seal the win…ASU got 68 minutes, 15 points and 12 rebounds from its bench, Cal got 52 minutes, seven points and two rebounds.
BLOCK-CHYNSKI!: Jordan Bachynski's NCAA-best 89 blocks is more than 241 D-I teams and 12 more than current silver medal blocks guy Khem Birch. He needs just 31 blocks to break his Pac-12 season record of 120 set last year. Next up and sixth on the chart is Taj Gibson who had 100 in 2008-09. Jordan has a double-double in 10 games, after entering the season with five in his first three seasons. He also needs nine blocks to set the Pac-12 career mark held by Anthony Cook of Arizona (278 from 1985-89).
1. 278 – Anthony Cook (Arizona), '85-89
2. 270 – Jordan Bachynski (Arizona State), '10-present
NCAA LEADERS: Jordan Bachynski has a chance to lead the NCAA in blocks. Three Sun Devils have led the NCAA in official categories. Jeff Pendergraph shot 66 percent from the field in 2008-09, Ahlon Lewis averaged 9.19 assists in 1997-98 and Dick Daugherty shot 87.2 percent (75-of-86) from the free throw line in 1953-54. Radio analyst Kyle Dodd can lay claim to the unofficial NCAA record with a 4.73 assist-to-turnover ratio back in 2002-03 (104 assists and 22 turnovers), but the NCAA didn't officially start tracking the statistic until 2007-08.
GREAT ONES DIDN'T DO THIS: Jahii Carson averaged 18.5 points and 5.1 assists last season, the first freshman to do that since Chris McGuthrie of Mount St. Mary's in 1992-93 (19.8/.5.1).
BO KNOWS HOOPS LAST THREE GAMES: After transferring from Hawaii where he made a freshman school record 57 threes in 2010-11, last year Bo Barnes made four shots and had 13 total points in 11 games and 78 minutes. In the past four games he has played 82 minutes, is 11-of-19 (.579) from the field, 8-of-15 (.533) from three and averaging 9.3 points per game.
MARRIOTT POINTS: Games in opposing arenas have been a good thing for Jahii Carson, who has averaged 21.8 points in 17 true road games. His top six scoring games are all away from Tempe and he has averaged 21.4 points in 22 road/neutral games.
40 at UNLV (11/19/13)
34 vs. Stanford at Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas (3/13/13)
32 at Washington (2/2/13)
30 vs. #14 Creighton in Las Vegas (11/24/12)
29 at California (1/29/14)
25 at Washington State (1/31/13)
SHAQ IN PAST DOZEN: Senior transfer Shaquielle McKissic has one year to play and is making the most of it in an efficient manner. In the past 12 games, he is averaging 11.5 points and 5.3 rebounds while shooting .512 from the field (44-of-86). In those tilts he is 40-of-55 (.727) from the free throw line and has 27 assists and just eight turnovers. On the year he has 45 assists and just nine turnovers and leads the team with 29 steals.
36, James Harden at Oregon (Feb. 5, 2009)
32, Jahii Carson at Washington (Feb. 2, 2013)
31, Jeff Pendergraph at Stanford (Jan. 2, 2009)
29, Jahii Carson at California (Jan. 29, 2014
MARSHALL, MARSHALL, MARSHALL: Don't sleep on this. In two high-intensity wins where every bucket was needed (UNLV and Marquette), Jermaine Marshall was 15-of-28 (.535) from the floor, 6-of-13 (.462) from the three-point stripe and posted 21 at UNLV and 20 vs. Marquette. Want more? In the second-half of those nail biters he was 10-of-14 (.714) from floor. He has 1,180 career points and 159 career three-pointers in 110 career games.
HE'S A MAN, HE DROPPED 40: Jahii Carson became the fourth Sun Devil to drop 40 (seven times) when he went 16-of-25 from the floor and had 26 second-half points in the Nov. 19 86-80 win at UNLV.
61-Eddie House at California (2 OT), Jan. 8, 2000
46-Eddie House vs. San Diego State, Dec. 18, 1999
45-Paul Williams at USC, Mar. 10, 1983

The attendees of the San Diego Comic- Con 2014 will have an eyeful of television shows once again. Finally, the hype for the "Twilight" movie franchise has completely faded away and once again shows and movies are able to equally garner attention at the popular event in Southern California. According to Cinema Blend on Sunday, the newly released list of panels offers a look at TV shows and plenty of stars ready to answer questions.
Two of the popular network shows getting attention includes "The Blacklist" and "Person of Interest." James Spader, Jon Bokenkamp and John Eisendrath will be on hand to discuss the NBC hit series "The Blacklist." Knowing fans from around the country are expected to attend, the panel is expected to be a hit with viewers and people wanting to know more about the show.
The "Person of Interest" panel returns for the fourth year as well. Viewers will join executive producer Greg Plageman along with stars from the show for a special video presentation and question and answer session. Every viewer is hoping that some of the spoilers for the upcoming season will be revealed too.
There are plenty of other great shows that plan to be part of the annual Comic-Con. "American Horror Story," "Sons of Anarchy," "Under the Dome," "Once Upon a Time," "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and "Resurrection." The list of panels reveals there is an emphasis on TV and comic book characters this year, but several of the big movies expected in the near future have decided to sit out the conference.
Those folks who haven't picked up tickets for the 2014 Comic-Con in San Diego might already be out of luck for getting a spot on any of the TV show panels. The tickets are always tough to get, if not purchased months prior to the conference and there is rarely any tickets at the event. With so many people coming to San Diego it is a big festival.

March: In Case You Missed It
March has been such an exciting month, for so many reasons! We welcomed spring, interviewed a national park photographer, kicked off Find Your Park, and more!
March has been such an exciting month, for so many reasons! We welcomed spring, interviewed a national park photographer, kicked off Find Your Park, and more!
From my neighbors, to my family and friends, to Centennial Ambassadors Bill Nye, Bella Thorne, Roselyn Sanchez, Terrence J. and Mary Lambert, everyone is talking about Find Your Park and sharing their park stories!
Here's a glimpse into what people are saying:
On Friday, we welcome the first official day of spring.
How will you show springtime that you're excited it's finally here?
We've got hundreds of places in mind that are great for celebrating the arrival of warmer weather – your national parks!
If you need some help brainstorming ideas, this list may help:
National Park Foundation grants connect youth to parks through educational programs, help inspire people to become the next generation of park stewards, and also protect and preserve our national parks. Our programs help expand and upgrade trails, restore landscapes, protect threatened habitats and wildlife, and preserve historic places.
Here are some specific examples of our grants and programs in action:
In all my time in our national parks, I've become aware of places within the parks that are perhaps overlooked. I call them "places within places." Many of these special spots would be recommended by park rangers if people asked them, "What is there to see and do here?"
I'd like to share several of these spots with you today and I'll tell you about more in another blog post later this year. (Stay tuned!)
We all have something we're passionate about.
That something for Manish Mamtani is photographing America's national parks. From capturing dark night skies to bear sightings, Manish recently chatted with us about his photography and his love of national parks.
Can you believe it's already time for March?
Last week, President Obama announced "Every Kid in a Park," a new effort to welcome four million fourth graders to national parks and public lands during the 2015-16 academic year, and we are thrilled.
Well, that's a wrap for January!
It's been a fun-filled month of making plans, setting park resolutions in motion, and getting the year started off on a great path! Here's what we were up to this month, just in case you missed any of the exciting developments.

College Hockey:Manhattanville Makes First Appearance at No. 1 in D-III Men's Poll
MINNEAPOLIS — Manhattanville makes its first appearance at No. 1 this week on the USCHO.com Men's Division III poll. The 14-0 Valiants took 11 of 15 first-place votes after a narrow win over Brockport and a pair of 4-2 victories against Potsdam.
At No. 2, moving up one spot, and garnering two first-place votes is Wisconsin-Superior. The 12-0-5 Yellowjackets had wins over Wisconsin-Stevens Point and Wisconsin-Eau Claire last weekend. Getting single first-place nods were No. 3 St. Norbert and No. 4 St. John's, each moving up one place in the poll after each notching a pair of league wins.
Dropping from No. 1 to No. 5 is Middlebury. The Panthers dropped a pair on the road in Maine, losing 4-2 to Bowdoin on Friday, and 2-0 to Colby on Saturday. Moving up one place to No. 6 is Fredonia. The Blue Devils downed RIT and Utica during the week.
Moving down one position to No. 7 is Norwich, after a tie with Babson and a win over UMass-Boston. At No. 8, moving up three places, is Trinity, after wins against New England College and St. Anselm.
Wisconsin-River Falls moved up one position to No. 9, despite a narrow overtime win against Lake Forest and a loss to St. Norbert. Dropping one to No. 10 is Oswego, after a weekend split with RIT.
Moving up two places to No. 11 is Bowdoin, even though the Polar Bears' win over Middlebury was coupled with a loss to Williams. Dropping four places to No. 12 is RIT; the Tigers lost to Fredonia and split with Oswego.
At No. 13 and returning to the poll is Colby. The Mules blanked Middlebury and beat Williams. Hobart, which had wins over Cortland and Geneseo, stays at No. 14, and St. Thomas, with a pair of wins over St. Olaf, stays at No. 15.
Other teams receiving votes were Plattsburgh, Curry, which dropped from the poll for the first time this season, Bethel, Utica, and Babson.
The USCHO.com Poll is compiled by U.S. College Hockey Online, and consists
of 15 voters, including coaches and beat writers from across the country.

The "big" news for passengers heading off for cruises this holiday weekend – not to mention through the rest of the holiday season -- is that "increased government security is expected to cause travel delays." That's according to the U.S. government's Transportation Security Administration (and other sources). Cutbacks in airline security personnel could mean longer-than-ever lines.
The obvious first point of advice for cruisers flying to ships, then, would be to pad an extra hour or two into your day-of-departure schedule (the TSA says add an hour; we advise two, just to be safe). And while TSA's list of suggestions focuses largely on predictable stuff (don't joke about security issues around screeners, carry important items like medicine, travel documents, and jewelry in your carry-on, and make sure your suitcases have tags with contact information), there are some that address today's unique travel environment. These include:
*Wear slip-on shoes (security screeners frequently require travelers to take them off) and, um, socks (those airport floors can be cold, not to mention dirty). And leave that flashy belt with the metal buckle at home (or packed in your checked suitcase).
*If you are traveling with gifts, particularly as carry-on items, make sure they are unwrapped.
*Using airlines' self-serve in-airport kiosks (or web sites) to check in – and print boarding passes – is a huge time-saver.
*Make sure you carry the appropriate documents; cruise lines require a passport or a birth certificate (original or certified copy) plus a picture ID card issued by a federal, state, or local government agency are required. And that's just for "homeland cruising" –based destinations. For more exotic cruise travel – South America, Far East, French Polynesia, and Europe – a passport is the only acceptable proof-of-citizenship. FYI, children under 16 years of age do not require a picture ID card. If unsure, call your travel agent or cruise line.
*In some cases, airport security screeners will have to open your checked baggage as part of the screening process. You can lock it, but if TSA staffers need to open it – and break the lock in the process – it is not liable for damages.

I'm trying to copy/clone a feature class within the same file gdb using C#. I've figured out that this won't work with IDataset or IFeatureDataset. So far I only found IGeoDBDataTransfer.Transfer but this is for copying between different workspaces.
Copying and pasting geodatabase datasets ArcObjects 10.1
I know I could do the whole things with a featureBuffer, but that's a very long winded way. And I don't want to use geoprocessing like CopyFeatures. Yeah, I know I'm fussy ;-)
If any of you got an idea how to get round this I would very much appreciate it!
Many Thanks in advance!

For a few peaceful moments in kennel 65, when the dogs aren't barking, the staff isn't cleaning or feeding, and the lights are dim, Drake curls up and dreams of a new day when he will be rescued.
At the San Bernardino City Animal Control this three-year-old pit bull terrier has overstayed his welcome; no one has come to adopt Drake.
Of course, one strike against him is his general breed. Labeling a dog with a big head, a broad chest and a stocky, well-muscled body a pit bull, shoves any dog to the back of the rescue line. Then there's the label on his description which says, "aggressive."
A volunteer, however disagrees after having spent time with Drake:
"Well...He doesn't show ANY sign of aggression to me. But I tell you this, if people are NOT nice to me and if I am in a scary place, I would be aggressive too. What aggression are they were talking about? A dog that growled for fear? Now Drake is "Rescue Only" because of this label. I have a video of him where he shows to be the most perfect dog."
The video of Drake is included. Be sure to watch it and judge for yourself as Drake interacts with a volunteer and another dog is walked by and introduced to Drake.
The volunteer plans to evaluate Drake again this week, with hopes the shelter will delete the "aggressive" label and make this dog eligible for adoption to the general public.
Please share Drake's story with your family, friends, and coworkers. An approved rescue organization is preferred at this time.

The Jazz Photography of Marcel Fleiss
Harlem at Night, photo by Marcel Fleiss
Marcel Fleiss captured the excitement of jazz in New York and Paris during the 1950s as writer and photographer for Le Jazz Hot. Born in Paris in 1934, Fleiss first developed his interest in jazz at age fifteen, and soon was immersed in the modern musical currents of the day. At the age of eighteen, Fleiss came to New York, and was a regular presence at Birdland, the Blue Note, the Apollo Theater, and other locations where he could photograph the leading jazz players of the day.
Thelonious Monk at Salle Pleyel (1954)
Photo by Marcel Fleiss
I recently had the opportunity to meet with Fleiss when he was in Los Angeles for a conference on jazz at the Getty Center. His images and first hand accounts of the 1950s jazz scene in Paris and New York captivated me, and all of the others who were in attendance at this event. He generously agreed to let us share a selection of his jazz photography in one of our Visual Jazz galleries on jazz.com.
These images reveal the essence of jazz in full flight. What a delight it is to see Thelonious Monk in a stylish dark suit -- and white socks! -- entertaining at the Salle Pleyel. Or Erroll Garner and Art Tatum sharing the piano bench at Birdland. Or Paul Desmond with a dreamy and lost expression on his face, while Dave Brubeck listens and comps with intensity in the background. Or Lee Konitz playing on the stage at Birdland, but seemingly more interested in getting the attention of Miles and the other members of the band than with the audience.
I encourage all of you to pay a visit to our Marcel Fleiss gallery and share in these stirring images of a great era in jazz history.

What is in this article?:
- South Carolina peanut crop much improved
- Scouting procedures outlined
• A majority of the peanut growing area has received at least some rain over the last two weeks.
• For the most part, growers have caught up with weed control and are into their 60-75 DAP fungicide applications. White mold and late leaf spot are beginning to develop in some areas.
More About:
Scouting procedures outlined
Scouting procedures and recommendations for foliage feeders are:
• Use a 3′shake cloth to look for worms
• Work the dowel handle up under the lateral stems to the plant crown and bend the other side of the plants over the cloth; then beat down vigorously 15 times to knock the worms onto the cloth. Shake the plants, bend them back out of the way, and count the worms on the cloth. Also count the worms under the cloth on both sides of the row to calculate worms per row foot.
• Check 3-5 areas of the field.
• Unstressed peanuts can tolerate 8 foliage feeding worms per row foot.
• The treatment threshold is 4 worms per row foot on stressed plants which have not lapped the middle or where Lorsban has previously been applied.
Remember unnecessary insecticide applications can flare other insect like spider mites.
Annual meeting
The state peanut meeting is going to be held in a different location in 2013. Due to a change in renting policy at the Family Life Center in Orangeburg, S.C., the meeting is moving to the newly built Santee Convention Center in Santee, S.C. Like with any change, the new location will take some getting used to, but I am confident it will better serve the growth and needs of our peanut meeting for years to come.
The Santee Convention Center is located on the corner of BASS Drive (U.S. Hwy. 15) and Bonner Avenue in Santee, S.C.
I will send more information out regarding the field days and the state peanut meeting in the next few weeks.

In February I finally decided to do something I always wanted to do with DevChix. I wanted to lead a group project intended for those who wanted to learn and could commit to 2 hours a week. I had 3 volunteers.. then two.. and then one! But thats ok, I know people get busy and other things going on, so no big deal. But cool thing is, even those that left said they learned something. So, my goal was still reached!
The Project
I had this idea in my head for awhile. One thing with lists is, you need to write down something if you want to do it today. We all have todo lists, and there are somethings we want to do every day. You may try to remember them without a list, or maybe you write them out. I thought it would be cool to have a todo list app that will give your list, allow you to check them off, then next day you have the same list. Bonus to have a graph of how many you did each day of the week. I think its motivating to see a graph of my progress.
Getting Started
Its my experience, when I start an app, I add user login and I get hung up on the authentication, tests and stuff and never get to the meat of the app. So I wrote a simple login system with just a username (no password), threw it in the session and wrote some simple methods to check to see if logged in. Later we replaced it with Devise with not much trouble at all.
What we learned
- git, making branches, push and pull
- erb and haml
- grid 960
- HighCharts a javascript graphing library
devise, we added a whitelist so we can have a beta with only certain email addresses allowed to sign up.
- publishing with heroku
- rails of course
Summer got busy, including a cross country move for me and new job! We still managed to meet about every 2 weeks. We used github for our code. We put our tasks in Pivotal Tracker and that worked fine. We used Github wiki to record meeting notes, what happened since last meeting and who is doing what for the next week. We've been able to meet weekly the past month or so as the summer is winding down.
Whats next?
We are deploying the app to DevChix for beta testing. From there, not sure.

A survey of broadcast equipment vendors finds more than half with a sense of confidence toward business in the coming quarter.
The survey was conducted by the IABM, an international trade association that represents manufacturers and suppliers of products and services to the broadcasting and electronic media industries.
Looking to the coming 12-month period, confidence has also increased over the previous quarter with 68 percent stating a rise compared to 60 percent previously. As with the last survey, confidence is predicated on the rollout of HDTV, impending live events, and new product launches.
As to new equipment orders, the overall outlook remains positive with 45 percent saying that order volumes were either better than expected or much better than expected. Only two percent reported a deterioration in orders. This is a significant rise from the 34 percent who said the same in the last quarter.
Skills and staff, manufacturing capacity and supply chain issues are the key factors limiting members' ability to fulfill orders. However, in this quarter it is manufacturing capacity that takes precedence over skills and staff issues.
While 40 percent of respondents said that they now have more employees than they did in the previous quarter, the majority stated that the number of employees remained the same. No respondents expect staffing levels to decline over the next quarter. In terms of R&D, 95 percent said that expenditures remained either constant or was higher than a year ago.

The best way to describe this herbal combination is "deep sleep." For centuries, it has been known for its calming qualities. It can help to relieve nervous tension and improve your sleep. The valerian herb is also known to improve focus. Best results will be obtained when you either sleep or rest after taking your soak.
Directions: Use one capful of Kneipp Herbal Bath Oil for each bath. For best results, bathing time should never exceed 15 to 20 minutes. Most Kneipp bath therapy starts with water that is body temperature or slightly warmer (98.6-104F). Sleep inducing, relaxing baths should be a little cooler, (97-98F) and it is advisable to take a warmer bath (102-104F) with the onset of a cold or when suffering from rheumatism. Never bathe if you have a fever, and baths that are too hot put a strain on the circulatory system. A foot bath or partial bath is recommended when suffering from cardiac conditions or cold and flu. After a bath, replenish skin by massaging the body with Kneipp Body Lotion or Body Oil. This helps the skin to regain its natural pH balance and form a protective layer.

Kayaking is our number one water sport of choice. Well, it's actually the only water sport we've tried, but if you've ever kayaked, you know what a blast it is! Who knew sitting in a tiny plastic boat in the middle of a lake could be so exhilarating? And now, we've discovered the Ferrari of kayaks. The Napali Folding Clear Kayak ($4,549) is a kayak with unnecessary luxuries but luxuries that, when put to use, are totally worth their hefty price tag. For example, clear kayaking off the shore of LA: not so exciting. Clear kayaking off the shores of Catalina, Cancun, or the Gold Coast? AMAZING! In clear waters, the view below would pretty much be priceless.

College Hockey:Princeton Season Preview
Princeton lost out in the playoff race last season as injuries had the Tigers by the tail.
"Last year, we played with 14, 15 skaters almost every game, which didn't bode well for us on the Saturday afternoon games," coach Jeff Kampersal said.
Despite the graduation of leading scorers Corey Stearns and Kelly Cooke, Kampersal looks to have the slack picked up by seniors such as Olivia Mucha, Sally Butler, and Denna Laing, who have been among those hit by the injury bug in recent campaigns.
"Those guys were our leading scorers their freshman year," he said. "I think they have a lot of potential."
He also expects to receive a boost from the other end of the roster.
"We have really good seniors and solid players throughout, but I think we have a really good freshman class coming in as well," Kampersal said. "Seven new kids, and then we have Jaimie McDonell, who was a really good freshman player for us last year who didn't play because she got injured. We'll have eight new players, so it is pretty exciting."
After a mediocre season defensively by his team's standards, Kampersal expects that aspect to rebound as well.
"We have a great goalie in Kimberly Newell," he said. "Last year, she was really young. She pretty much played all the minutes for us, and that took its toll on her. She pretty much took all the minutes in practice as well. Our other goalies were hurt, so we had to deal with pretty much overextending her. I think she had a really good summer. She's trained really hard. She made a select group to play against the Canadian national team players this summer, so she had a lot of training, a lot of conditioning this summer playing against the best players in her country. I think she's ready to step up and be better than she was last year and be really good for us."
Depending on how the offense comes together, how Newell handles the workload, and whether the team fares better on the injury front, Princeton could possibly end up hosting an ECAC quarterfinal series, or be out of the postseason all together. The ECAC playoff races figures to be that wide open.
"Anybody can finish in any position," Kampersal said. "Points will be tough to come by, so we have to be really good all the time."
In 2012-2013, Princeton was unable to get on a roll, never winning more than two consecutive ECAC games and winning back-to-back games on only one occasion in conference.
"We have a big home stretch after our first few weekends," Kampersal said. "That will be really important. Hopefully, we can get some points right in there."

Coach Resigns to Form Religious Group
A former Ohio football coach who was named in
a suit by the American Civil Liberties Union for leading players in prayer
has announced that he will be leaving the community in order to establish
a new ministry. The new organization will be called "Pass the Salt
Ministries" and will enable the coach to confront "the moral
collapse of our culture." According to school officials, the case
was settled in October and all parties concerned were cleared of any wrongdoing.
Daylight Savings Time Interferes With Marital Relations?
In the heat of a battle in the Mexican legislature
over adopting daylight savings time, opponent Sen. Felix Salgado put forth
his strongest argument: Advancing the clocks an hour will reduce daylight
time in the morning, curtailing many "mananeros," or couples'
morning sex. "(N)ow when you wake up," said Salgado, "your
partner is no longer there because she had to take the kids to school."

When it comes to weight loss, dieting can sometimes feel like an endless battle of the bulge. But regardless of how much you have to lose, it's not impossible if you know the keys. Dr. Travis Stork offered tips and featured 12 men and women who lost a total of 2,500 pounds on the August 7 episode of "The Doctors."
Julie, Melissa and Luke each lost 100 pounds. Their realization that they had children who deserved healthy parents motivated them to take off the pounds. But in each case, it required dramatic lifestyle changes.
Luke, for example, is a former athlete. When he got married and focused on his career, he continued to eat the same enormous meals.
"I was drinking over 2,000 calories in soda a day," he said. "I was probably eating 5,000 to 6,000 calories a day. Here I am, teaching and coaching my students to have discipline, when I had none myself."
In the case of Desiree, a series of traumatic events caused her to turn to food for comfort. She gained 200 pounds in two years.
"Food was my only source of happiness, and the reason I got out of bed on certain days," she admitted. "When I look at old pictures of myself, behind that smile, there is so much pain."
The other weight loss success stories had their own struggles in taking off the pounds. But what they shared in common: A determination to get and stay healthy.
Dr. Travis has some suggestions if you want to lose weight as well. He has developed three keys to weight loss: Eat protein at each meal, kick your sugar habit and boost your fiber intake on a low carb diet.
The recommendation to eat more fiber for weight loss is supported by registered dietitian Tanya Zuckerbrot, author of the "Miracle Carb Diet," as well. In an exclusive interview on August 7, she explained, "Fiber and weight loss go hand and hand. High fiber foods are lower in calories and actually help boost metabolism. "
In addition, fiber helps you stay full longer, while cutting down on cravings because it takes longer to digest. Weight loss thus becomes easier. "Fiber acts like a sponge in your digestive system, soaking up excess calories, fats, and sugars from a meal and eliminating them before the body absorbs them," she added.
Tanya agrees with Dr. Travis that adding protein to your diet is the best approach for weight loss and overall health. "A diet that combines fiber and lean protein at each meal is ideal for weight loss and for anti-aging," she said.
If you're having problems getting started on a high-fiber, high protein diet, Tanya suggests making simple swaps. For example, instead of toast with jam for breakfast, try a cup of raspberries with Greek yogurt.
Following these suggestions to eliminate sugar from your diet while eating more protein and fiber can do more than help with weight loss. Author of "The Doctor's Diet" weight loss book, Dr. Travis says that eating the right food (and avoiding the wrong food) "can save our lives."
In particular, eliminating junk food and processed carbohydrates can help you emotionally as well as physically. Several studies show that these changes can alleviate depression, reported the Delhi Daily News on August 5.
One study, for example, conducted by scientists from the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in Perth found that diets containing sugar and soft drinks lead to a higher risk of behavioral and emotional problems. Another study indicated that Mediterranean-style diets can help with depression.
Researchers at Victoria's Deakin University currently are studying people with depression to see how they might benefit from a fiber-rich high protein diet. Foods included are vegetables, fruit and whole grains, oily fish, olive oil, legumes and raw unsalted nuts, as well as lean red meat and reduced fat dairy.

The S&P 500 broke significantly lower in late week trading, losing 3.02% in Thursday's and Friday's sessions. The index dropped in three sessions shedding 2.65% during the week and has fallen 3.98% below the April 2 high. Thursday's pullback reached volatile levels with a drop of 2.09%, the first volatile move since a 2.28% fall on Feb. 3.
Volume levels increased 14.01% over those of the previous week. The selloff Monday produced the highest volume with the rebound Wednesday providing the weakest volume. Despite the volatile market move on Thursday, the five day volume variance fell to 14.90% during the past week. Although volume increased consistent with volatile market conditions, trading sessions with volatile market moves lower often have the highest volume for the week and normally the five day variance also increases, these being inconsistent with volatile conditions.
Major Stock Market Indexes
The index charts of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange and Russell 2000 took bearish pullbacks late in the week.
All three indexes fell fairly steeply on Monday but pushed bullishly higher on Tuesday and Wednesday regaining the early week loss. On Thursday the indexes careened lower, breaking below the previous lows in the fall. Although all spent parts of Friday in or near positive territory, all broke lower in late trading to widen the week's losses.
The NASDAQ and Russell 2000 are both in established downtrends. Both indexes have taken a much more bearish drop than that seen on the other indexes. The NASDAQ is currently resting on the lower trend line in its downtrend, while the Russell broke below its lower trend line Friday and also finished the session beneath it.
The S&P 500, NYSE, and Dow have not yet established downtrends, but fell from a lower high in the last retreat and reached a lower low in the late week drops.
Although the NYSE fell to a lower low, it finished Friday near support it rebounded from in early March and then again in mid-March. The Dow fell only slightly further below support found in drops during the same time periods. The S&P 500 slipped below the support it had found during these periods on Thursday, and after beginning a rebound near this support on Friday, drop back below it into the close.
The indexes are deeply oversold, so it does not seem unlikely a rebound could be seen in the week ahead.
US Treasury Charts
The 20 year US Treasury Note pushed higher in four sessions. The lone pullback was shallow and rebounded higher off the 13 EMA. The 20 year is overbought. This chart continues to show bullishness.
Long term US Treasury charts continued to show bullishness. This is somewhat bearish for stocks, although it continues to seem possible that Treasuries could falter in the not so distant future.
The interest rate on the 10 year US Treasury Note fell in four sessions with the lone rebound being quite shallow. The rate has fallen in six of seven sessions. The drop Thursday broke below the lower trend line in the slight uptrend the Ten Year had established off the Feb 3 low, but it rebounded to finish at trend by the close, but Friday slipped and finished below trend. The downturn also sent the 13 EMA to a bearish cross back below the 50 EMA. Despite the trend break and bearish cross, the Ten Year is deeply oversold, so it doesn't seem unlikely it could rebound back into trend.
Sunday night gold traded between 1301 and 1304, finishing at about 1303.
Monday trended slowly lower to about 1296 near the New York close. It then trended slowly higher at the Sydney open to finish the night at about 1301.
Tuesday gold traded tightly to 1301 until pushing sharply higher in Hong Kong to about 1309 after which it flattened until the London open where it pushed higher to 1315. It trended slowly lower from this high to about 1307 during New York trading and then began to bounce between 1307 and 1311. It pushed slightly higher in Hong Kong reaching about 1313 before slipping to finish the night at about 1312.
Gold held between 1311 and 1313 Wednesday morning until breaking lower just before the London open and it trended lower to about 1302 in New York. In the late NY session it broke sharply higher to about 1316, but then fell off this high to trade flatly. Gold took another turn higher in Hong Kong pushing quickly to 1318 shortly after the open, and flattened again to finish the night at about 1315.
Thursday gold held near 1315 until beginning to trend higher prior to the London open, reaching a high of 1325 shortly after the New York open. It fell off this high to about 1317 and then flattened staying within a few points of that for the remainder of the night, finishing at about 1319.
Friday morning gold held within a point of 1320 until breaking lower before the London open, falling back to about 1314 in early London trading. It rebounded off this low to about 1323, and then trended slowly lower into the New York Spot close of 1318.40, which was higher than the previous week's close of 1305.10.
Although the trend continued higher, gold appeared more or less range bound after pushing off lows early in the week.
S&P 500 Constituent Charts
The large pullback during the past week increased the numbers of constituents showing bearishness in their charts.
Only 52 constituents finished the week higher.
Some of the constituents established short term downtrends during the week, however many are near likely support.
Several charts have rounded lower.
There were several bearish crosses below the 50 EMA by the 13 EMA.
There were 100 constituents that saw 5% or greater pullbacks during the past week. Many of these stocks were underpriced prior to the retreat.
Most of the constituents are in or near oversold conditions with many deeply oversold, so it does not seem unlikely stocks could rebound.
Interesting Points
The earnings information provided below is based on an earnings update for the S&P 500 completed April 6. The information gathered in this update includes the constituents operating earnings, the forward earnings projections for remainder of the current year and earnings projections for the next full year. The closing prices of the constituents noted below were on April 4 (a week ago) and April 11 (Friday).
There were 100 constituents that had price decreases of 5% or greater during the past week. Nine have trailing twelve month (TTM) P/E's of less than 10. Seven have both a TTM and next full year forward P/E (NFY) of less than 10. Four of the nine had TTM P/E's of less than ten a week ago.
As of Friday's close, 24 of the constituents have TTM P/E's of less than 10. Five have losses in TTM earnings and 189 have TTM P/E of greater than 20.
Of the 194 with losses or P/E's greater than 20; 36 have NFY P/E's of 16 or less. There are 63 that are expected to continue to carry P/E's greater than 20. These 63 are the companies that are potentially overpriced to forward earnings.
If the recent pullback was due to investors' fears that stocks are overpriced, we could expect these stocks to take a beating in a pullback. Only four of these companies had pullbacks in excess of 5% and two of the top three increases during the week were held by these companies.
The pullback caused the index's TTM P/E to fall 0.61 points and the NFYF P/E to fall 0.50 points under those of a week ago.
Many of the stocks over $100 did not appear to be doing as well as lower prices stocks in chart reads over the past few weeks. Here is a comparison for this week.
The 83 (16.6%) constituents over $100 in the index did not fare well in past week. Only 4 (4.76%) of the 83 that began the week over $100 finished with gains and 5 finished the week below $100. The average loss was 3.46% and the 83 accounted for 45.36% of the total even weighted dollar loss.
Compared to the 417 (83.4%) constituents in the index under $100: 48 (11.51%) finished higher with an average loss of 3.03%. With over five times as many constituents they accounted for only 54.64% of the total even weighted dollar loss.
It hasn't been just a bad week for many of those over $100; many have been dropping for over a month and many have shed over 10% during that time. Not all stocks over $100 are in pullbacks; some charts still look very bullish and are still reasonably priced.
Although the indicators featured in these articles are not always correct, they have been many times and being so they are worth reading about and taking note of.
The +2% H, -2% H, +/(-) 90 D, 100 L and 90E indicators are currently active. The (-)/+ 90 D indicator expired after Monday's close. The +2% L and -2% L increased to a high rating. See a more detailed description of most of the indicators developed through research and featured in these articles here.
The (-)/+ 90 D indicator that became active on Nov 25, 2013 expired after Monday's close. The indicator finished as follows in the format: highest close / lowest close / last close.
+4.91% / -3.36% / +2.36%
The summary of the interpretation of this indicator as it appeared in the Dec 2, 2013 Preview was as follows:
"Although it seems probable there could be a move higher first, it seems relatively likely the new 90 D could see a significant pullback in the first half of its active period. Although the overall moves seen could be fairly large, since a move higher is likely first, it seems possible this drop might not reach levels needed for normal – (minus) rating; therefore it will be encased in parentheses (-) 90D. It seems probable that the index could continue bullishly higher after any pullback seen during the remainder of the Nov 25, 2013 90 D indicator's active period, but a good portion of that run could be regaining lost ground and it might not reach the level normally associated with a + (plus) rating, yet it seems possible it could. Therefore this indicator will be noted as a (-)/+ 90 D."
The index did pullback significantly near the 1850 resistance of the MRL and within the 5% to 7% range as projected earlier in the interpretation. The significant pullback did occur during the first half of the indicator's active period and after first moving higher into the end of the year. Although the indicator fell into negative territory, it did not reach a level needed for a normal minus rating. The index did rebound from this pullback and this rebound also fell well short of the proportions normally associated with a plus rating. The rebound also fell short of what was felt it would likely reach. Therefore the interpretation of this indicator appears to have been mostly correct in this instance.
The +2% L indicator did not provide a correct indication during the past week. Thursday's 2.09% drop is third volatile pullback (a 2% or greater drop within a session) without an offsetting 2% increase, making it very likely an offsetting move could be seen in this instance. The +2% indicator has therefore entered a high state. It will remain in a high state for 30 trading days or until an offsetting move has been made.
Although it seemed unlikely, the -2% L indicator provided a correct indication during the past week with a 2.09% drop on Thursday. The presence of volatility increases the chances that more volatile moves could occur, therefore this indicator has entered a high state.
The +/(-) 90 D that became active on Feb 21, 2014 has performed as follows to this point in the format: highest close / lowest close / last close.
+2.98 / -1.12% / -1.12%.
A significant pullback on the index was not expected in the early portion of this indicator's presence; therefore timing patterns used in the interpretation of this indicator have potentially been extended. It therefore seems possible the interpretation for this indicator as given was incorrect.
Monday's decline took the S&P 500 below the 1850 support of the MRL, but Tuesday rebounded to close at 1851.96 and Wednesday's low of 1852.38 also showed continued support at this level. Thursday promptly fell through this support in a volatile retreat, and Friday continued lower to finish the session at 1815.69 and 3.98% below the April 2 high. Since the index fell in excess of 3% from its high it is considered a significant drop beginning from within the 100 L.
Although the potential for a significant drop existed within the 100 L, one was not expected and if one was seen it seemed likely it would not be much more than 3%, therefore the interpretation of the resistance within the 100L was incorrect in this instance.
Although it seemed possible the 90 E could be bullish in this appearance, this interpretation appears to have been incorrect as a bearish volatile retreat was seen Thursday with this retreat sending the index to a bearish significant pullback level. The pullback to a significant level is also considered a direction change, another trait of this indicator. However, several of the past occurrences of this indicator have provided more than one direction change so it still seems possible it could contain some bullishness.
The +10 day indicator is near a high state.
Current Cautions
The index saw a volatile decrease of 2% or greater and the resistance within the 100 L provided a significant pullback on the index, with the pullback reaching 3.98%.
All of the indexes and many stocks are deeply oversold making a rebound seem possible.
The index has exhibited three of the bearing traits often seen during the presence of a 90 E indicator: a volatile daily market move (that of 2% or greater either higher or lower), a significant drop on the index (that of 3% or greater from highest close to lowest close) and a price direction change (a 3% or greater change in price direction beginning during the indicator's active period).
There were some inconsistences with volumes seen during volatile market conditions in the past week. Volume levels increased 14.01% consistent with volatile market conditions but the five day volume variance fell 2.4% to 14.90% during the past week inconsistent with volatile conditions. The volatile pullback during Thursday's session also did not have the week's highest volume.
There continues to be many reasons to be bullish at the current time. Any pullbacks in stock prices seen along the way are probably a good opportunity to add.
If the index continues within the trend established off the crash lows, it seems possible it could reach the 2000 to 2100 level in eight to 17 months if it reaches this level near the upper trend line and within 35 to 41 months if it reaches this level near the lower trend line. The data suggests the Midrange Resistance Level (MRL) at 2035 to 2055 could hold the resistance level of concern within this range at 2040. More details of this potential resistance can be seen in past articles.
Please note there is no established resistance in the MRL levels before the index has reached these levels. Several instances have proven to hold resistance once reached; however MRL levels that the index has not yet reached are only the most likely levels that resistance will be seen based on research.

Have a great day trading,
Access link to all of Ron's past articles.
Disclosure: Ron is currently about 86% invested long in stocks in his trading accounts. His investment level increased over the past week due to the purchase of four issues with the cost of these purchases partial offset by the sale of two issues and dividend payments. Ron feels he is slightly oversold at the current time. However he has and will continue to sell stocks that reach long or short term targets and also continue to add stocks he feels are at a great value through a variety of buy orders. Ron will receive dividend payments from 12 issues in the coming week and 7 in the following week. If no further investment changes are made during this timeframe these dividend payments will reduce his investment level.
Some of the trades made during the past week may have been due to repositioning investments as discussed in a previous article.

Delta has an Eighty-Five year tradition of outstanding employee relations. Our goal is to sustain this positive relationship for the future in a union-free work environment for Reservation Sales, Airport Customer Service, Ramp and In-Flight.
On the heels of a Delta Proud/No Way IAM campaign presence in and around Reservations Call Centers and the above/below wing areas of ACS system-wide, occasional teams of IAM Organizers/Activists have begun visibility efforts of their own, setting up camp around the Delta system. So far, reports indicate their ranks to be well armed with error-riddled, sensationalist union material in addition to their usual lies.This material was written by outsiders with no relevant Delta perspective. It's claims of forced anti-union meetings, entrapment and threats by Delta bear no resemblance to the Eighty-year tradition of outstanding employee relations that has been enjoyed by all. In fact, the IAM material so misrepresents your fellow employees.
If you encounter union activists campaigning in the parking lots, lounges or elsewhere, please welcome our new colleagues professionally, as you would wish to be greeted. Feel free to engage in respectful dialogue, bearing in mind we are all colleagues at the end of the day. The one thing we do agree with the IAM is that you should remain alert to underlying agendas within casual discussions. Most importantly, however, arm yourself with education upfront. Become familiar with the headlines, discussions and factual information found on the Delta Proud/No Way IAM Facebook page, the NO WAY IAM web site and the National Right to Work Foundations web site.

10 Easy Tips To Make Her Hornier
10 Easy Ways You Can Get Her In The Mood
When it comes to sex, men are mostly genitally focused, whereas for women, sex is a full mind and body experience. In the words of Jerry Seinfeld: "The basic conflict between men and women, sexually, is that men are like firemen, and women are like fire. To men, sex is an emergency, and no matter what [they're] doing [they] can be ready in two minutes. Women, on the other hand, are like fire. They're very exciting, but the conditions have to be exactly right for it to occur."
Because women are more concerned with intimacy and passion than orgasm, many women would rather cuddle than have a mediocre sexual experience. My professor Dr. Sandra Leiblum, one of the most prominent sex therapists, once said that "for women to want sex it has to be sex worth having."
Therefore, to sexually motivate your girl, you have to work on making sex exciting for her so that she considers it a priority over running errands or getting an extra hour of sleep. Here are some of the ways to do it:
1. Improve the ambianceWomen are a lot more distractible than men. We have difficulty tuning out loud noises like your barking dog or blaring TV lights, or ignoring the noxious smells of rotten food emanating from your messy kitchen. Yes, that means turning off the television, dimming the lights, feeding your dog, turning up your thermostat, taking out the trash, and changing the dirty sheets! (If the thought of having to do all this depresses your sex drive, hire a maid service).
Then, set the mood at "sexual heat": put on her favorite music, prepare her favorite drink, light some scented candles, and spray some fragrant air freshener in your bedroom and bathroom (for some great ambiance enhancers, try ScentsOfHumor.com). It may sound "wussy" to go to such trouble to seduce a woman who is already attracted or committed to you, but women turn on to such stimuli, both on an unconscious level through their senses and in consciously thinking, "He cares." That thought alone will get her in the mood for sex.
2. Prolong the foreplayThe old clich is true: women love foreplay! Foreplay does not mean immediately grabbing her clitoris. Real foreplay means starting out as far from her genitals as possible — holding her face, stroking her hair, kissing her temples, gazing into her eyes, or rubbing her neck and shoulders. Learn some massage techniques and gently try a few on her head, neck and shoulders. If you really want to get her going, get an "Amazing Hot Massager Kit" available at LoversChoice.tv.

Please help me do the following.
Suppose that $f:\mathbb{R}^m\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfies two conditions:
(i) For each compact set $K$, $f(K)$ is compact.
(ii) For any nested decreasing sequence of compacts $(K_n)$, $$f\left(\bigcap K_n\right)=\bigcap f(K_n).$$ Prove that $f$ is continuous.
Property (ii) implies the following: If $(x_i)$ is a sequence in $\mathbb{R}^m$ converging to $x$ such that $f(x_1)=f(x_2)=\ldots$, then $f(x)=f(x_1)$. I think they are in fact equivalent, but I'm not sure.
Edit: Sorry for the confusion, the second condition is now corrected.

Boss Alan Dowson will stop short of dismantling his current Ks squad next season, but it depends on how his side finish this term.
Kingstonian face an uphill struggle to make the Ryman Premier League play-offs after an 80th minute Louis-Rae Beadle strike salvaged a draw with fourth-placed Bury Town on Sunday.
Dowson's men are seven points adrift of the top five with nine games remaining after a run of just two defeats in their last 13 games.
And the manager has insisted that is the sort of form he will be looking for from now on to decide who might still be at the club come August.
"There will be changes but there won't be loads I wouldn't have thought and there certainly won't be any contracts thrown about," he said.
"I'm not going to make the same mistakes as last year.
"With the budget we have, fans should be happy with a top ten finish, but we are more ambitious than that.
"We have conceded 11 goals in three games against the top two this season so that tells you how far we are away from getting towards the top five.
"The closer we can get to the top five this season, the less changes there will be. But it depends on what the points difference between us and the top is.
"We'll look at everything that has happened this season and analyse where we need to improve."
Substitute Beadle's effort set up a frantic finale on Sunday, but Ks fell short of the three points as the scores finished level between the two teams for the fourth time in four games.
"It was one of the best performances of the season. I can't believe we didn't win with the possession we had in the final third," added Dowson.
Ks host Dulwich Hamlet in the London Senior Cup quarter-finals on Monday and Dowson, pictured below, admitted tomorrow's visit of Aveley is also critical.
"We've got a lot to do to make the play-offs. I think we have left it too late to be honest," he said.
"This weekend could make ior break us. Saturday is a must win game and it would be nice to have a cup semi-final too."

Lauren Moore
May 15, 2013
DALLAS (SMU) - Lauren Moore, a junior on the SMU rowing team, has been invited to participate at USRowing's William Smith Sculling Development Camp, which will be held June 10-14 on the Cayuga-Seneca Canal in Geneva, N.Y. Moore is one of 10 rowers from across the country invited to participate in the national camp.
For the Mustangs, Moore competes with the 1st Varsity 8+ crew, racing to wins over Creighton and Kansas State this season. She spent time during the past two summers sculling at White Rock Lake, and the Southlake native went on to earn medals at the Stars and Stripes and Head of the Oklahoma regattas during her first year.
At the camp, Moore and the other athletes will practice on the water twice a day, working on technique, aerobic and anaerobic condition, as well as race and regatta preparation. The athletes will also be able to attend USRowing team lectures. At the conclusion of the camp, Moore will have the opportunity to compete at the U23 Trials, the Independence Day Regatta and the Club Nationals.
Moore and SMU will compete at the Conference USA Championships Saturday in Oak Ridge, Tenn. Each crew will race a preliminary heat in the morning, with the championship finals scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

The Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble strives to reach higher standards of musical excellence through the use of handbells and to explore the incorporation of other instruments in order to broaden the exposure of handbells to the performing arts. Read more about the Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble.
Handbells are a unique instrument in which each bell is tuned to a specific note, like a key on a piano. Unlike an orchestra or choir in which each musician is responsible for one line of the texture, a handbell ensemble acts as one instrument, with each musician responsible for particular notes as they appear in the music. Learn more about and listen to the music of handbells.
The Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble plays around the greater Philadelphia region, and in other locations when invited. We play a variety of venues, including community concerts, religious worship services, festivals and special events. Learn about inviting the Philadelphia Handbell Ensemble to perform for you!

Right around Spring Break is when private schools from across the city begin to send out their acceptance letters for the upcoming school year. If you have applied for a school for the next school year, keep your eyes on your mailbox - there should be letters accepting your child to all the schools they applied to that were a good fit for them.
Once your child is accepted to a school, what should you do next? Firstly, you'll want to celebrate with your student. But what if they are accepted to more than one school? How should you decide? This is a decision you should not make lightly, as your child will likely be a student at that school for several years. Think back to when you visited the campuses. Was there any tour or facility that caught your attention? If your child shadowed another student for a time, ask them which visit they enjoyed the most. Compare the activities and courses that your child is most interested in - is one of the schools markedly better in those areas in terms of facilities or instructors? More practically, is one school significantly closer to your home or workplace than others? Factors like this can help make a difficult decision easier.
After you've made your decision on which school you will become a part of, you need to complete your registration paperwork and pay any registration fees your school sets to ensure you have reserved your spot for the coming year. Many schools will also ask for things like vaccination records and media releases at this time, so make sure you have up to date information to provide. After registration is complete, enjoy the rest of this school year and look forward to starting your new academic journey!

Support grassroots activismJune 25,2013
Support grassroots activism
As a board member of Vermonters for a Clean Environment, I appreciate Howard Fairmans recognition of our good work in supporting citizen activism (Activism is often self-interest, June 19).
However, Mr. Fairman is wrong or misinformed about our involvement in the Vermont Gas Systems gas pipeline project in Addison County. VCE has been working with community members along the pipeline route since December 2012 to balance the situation of a developer running roughshod over the rights of landowners and communities.
Contrary to Mr. Fairmans implication that citizen involvement creates an image of Vermont as anti-business, VCEs advocacy of the stake-holder process of co-operative planning brings results that are satisfactory to all parties involved. The expansion of the J.P. Carrara gravel pit in East Middlebury is a good example of how this can work. You can read more about the VGS controversy and the Carrara gravel pit expansion in the archives of local newspapers.
We invite Mr. Fairman and others to find out more about Vermonters for a Clean Environment at our website www.vce.org, and to join us us in our support of grassroots activism around the state of Vermont.

Faculty Admissions- Admission Requirements
- Admission Categories and Deadlines
- Admissions Process for All Admission Categories
- Application Materials
Faculty Admissions
The Gustavson School of Business Bachelor of Commerce program admits students into the first, second and third year. Each admission point has specific admission criteria that applicants must meet; see entry under Admission Categories and Deadlines. Because of the international nature of the program, a portion of the available positions is intended for international students. Gustavson recognizes the unique needs of international students and offers many services and program enhancements to address those needs.
Entry to the Bachelor of Commerce program is in September only for each year. The program commences with the BCom program core, a full-time, cohort-based set of required courses in the third year. Normally, about 240 students are admitted to the BCom program core every year.
The structure of the program requires that students have completed 30 units of Pre-Commerce course work, including the required courses listed below, to standards as outlined below before they will be registered in the Bachelor of Commerce Program core courses.
Students should be aware that they will be required to complete a total of 60 units of course work to obtain a UVic degree, including 30 units of Pre-Commerce course work. Any outstanding Pre-Commerce course work must be completed as a condition for entering the BCom program core.
Graduates of Hospitality Management diploma programs should refer to the admissions requirements described under "Admission Requirements for Graduates of Hospitality Management programs."
Admission to UVic from High School
Applicants from High School must be admissible to UVic (see "Year 1 Admission Requirements"). Applicants from High School must follow the admission procedures as outlined in the Admission Categories and Deadlines section.
Admission to UVic from BC Community Colleges and other Universities
Applicants from BC community colleges and universities must first be admitted to UVic. Students must have a minimum of 12 units of transferable credit to be considered for admission to UVic and the BCom program. Transfer credit should address the admission requirements as described under the admission section entitled Year 2 Entry (First Year College or University Students) or the section entitled Year 3 (Direct Entry) Admission.
Transfer credit will be limited to 4.5 units of Commerce credit for the purposes of calculating the cumulative Pre-Commerce grade point average and calculating the applicant's Pre-Commerce course units. Students transferring from BC community colleges or university colleges should consult the BC Transfer Credit Guide at <www.bccat.bc.ca> for assistance in determining the transferability of courses.
Additional information regarding areas of study and program updates is available through the Gustavson School of Business website at <www.gustavson.uvic.ca>.
Students attending any business, commerce, or business administration diploma or degree program will be considered along with all other applicants and must have completed the requirements for admission as outlined below.
Current and Returning UVic Students
Current and returning UVic students who apply but are not admitted to the Gustavson BCom program will normally, if eligible, be authorized for study in their previous faculty. New applicants to UVic who are not admitted to the program and who wish to be considered for any other faculty should contact Admissions or Records Services.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released complaint statistics for 2011 last week and identity theft topped the list of fraud complaints for the 12th consecutive year. Overall FTC complaints increased 20% to 1.8 million compared to 2010. Seventy percent of the 1.8 million complaints filed in 2011 were fraud related with identity theft, a type of fraud, making up 15% of the total complaints followed by debt collection fraud at 10%.
In Wisconsin, total complaints logged by the FTC were up 48% compared to 2010, whereas identity theft complaints increased almost 10%. Like the national results identity theft was the most prevalant category of fraud in Wisconsin followed by debt collection fraud.
Identity theft complaints were up 11% in 2011 nationwide compared to 2010 and other types of fraud that were up 10%. Identity theft as a whole has not been declining as popular opinion once suggested it would. Identity theft complaints in 2011 totaled 279,156 compared to 86,250 a decade ago. Although this is more than a three-fold increase in complaints filed, the total identity theft complaints have been rather steady with an annual average of 266,000 since 2004.
The numbers of complaints received annually are much smaller than the annual estimates of identity theft incidences in the U.S., which have been projected at approximately 10 million by the FTC. This estimate is based on a study commissioned by the FTC early last decade that determined that most victims do not report identity theft to authorities. Even today, victims of identity theft may resolve minor identity theft cases quickly with a financial institution or creditor, and the incident goes unaccounted. Other victims may not resolve the fraud or report it. While 70% of those that filed an ID Theft complaint in 2011 notified a police department, only 57% indicated the police took a report. If one resides in a state where the identity theft laws require police to take an identity theft crime report, consumers should report the police department to the state attorney general office if the police refuse to take a proper report.
The FTC Consumer Sentinel Report for 2011 (as well as previous reports) divides identity theft in several major categories each composed of one to several subcategories. The category of Government Documents and Benefits Fraud composed 27% of all the identity theft reports in 2011 and increased 57% compared to the prior year.
This type of fraud accounted for 23% of all identity theft reported from Wisconsin and the incidents of this type of fraud increased 59% compared to 2010.
This category consists of four subcategories: tax or wage fraud (24.1%), government benefits applied for/received (1.5%), government documents issued/forged (0.8%) and driver's license issued/forged (0.8%). All of these subcategories decreased slightly in 2011 compared to 2010 except for tax and wage fraud which rocketed by over 70%.
Tax and wage fraud primarily reflects fraudulent tax returns filed in the name of the identity theft victim, where the identity thief obtains the tax refund belonging to the victim. To do so, the identity thief must have knowledge of the victim's name, Social Security number and some idea of their reported wages. Wage information can be obtained from employers, W-2 forms and tax returns. Taxpayer wage information can be obtained through theft of the information in the workplace, mail theft, and by other means including phishing and other social engineering. Unscrupulous tax preparers may also be involved in this type of fraud. It is critical that consumers take appropriate steps to protect their wage information and report tax fraud to the IRS and the FTC and to file a police report locally.
While some types of identity theft are on the rise, like tax and wage fraud, other types of identity theft are stabilizing or declining such as credit card fraud (up a half percent), phone and utility fraud (down 2%), bank fraud (down 10%), and employment fraud (down 19%) compared to 2010.
Credit card and bank fraud may be decreasing or stabilizing because of the Red Flags Rule that was effective for financial institutions in November 2008. The Red Flags Rule required financial institutions to look for a series of red flags that would suggest that a person was committing identity theft. Employment fraud may have decreased as a result of the current economy and high unemployment.
These statistics should remind us that fraud and identity theft are crimes of opportunity. While financial institutions have taken steps to curb credit card and bank related identity theft, new opportunities for the thieves have arisen because of more people filing online tax returns and a general lack of awareness by consumers of tax and wage related identity theft.
The creative criminal mind will invent new ways of committing the crime as situations change and as steps are taken to curb certain types of identity theft such as credit card and bank fraud. Presently the IRS is taking steps to educate the public on tax and wage identity theft and to prosecute these types of crimes.
Consumers reported paying $1.5 million in fraud in 2011. The average and medium amount paid was $2,267 and $537. On average Wisconsinites paid $1913.
Sixty-eight percent of consumers that reported fraud said they made a payment. They also reported that the fraudulent payments were made primarily by wire transfers (50%), credit card (16%) and bank account debit (13%). Consumer loss could be mitigated by educating consumers to make online purchases with credit cards rather than by providing payment to online retailers by using bank account information and debit cards. With these payment types, the identity thieves fronting as a business can wipe out the victims accounts, whereas purchases made with credit cards are made with the creditor's money and can be disputed if fraud is involved.
Sixty percent of fraud complaints also identified the method of initial contact. Email contact was the most common method of initial contact at 43%, 13% was through a Website presumably initiated by the consumer, and 7% was by snail mail. Twenty-nine percent of the initial contacts were by telephone. Consumers should use extreme caution when responding to unsolicited emails and telephone calls. The safest approach is to respond to neither. Before responding to any offer, especially those that sound too good to be true, one should thoroughly research the company on the Internet.
The 50-59 age group reported the most (23%) of all types of fraud (excluding ID Theft) whereas the 20-29 year old age group reported the most identity theft, also 23%. It appears that identity theft affects younger age groups whereas other fraud affects the older age groups. The under 50 group composed 70% of all the identity theft complaints filed whereas the 40 and above age group composed 65% of all of the other fraud complaints.
Among nationwide metropolitan areas ranking for fraud and other complaints (excluding identity theft), Wisconsin cities ranked as follows in the top 50: Wausau (12), Appleton (15), Oshkosh-Neenah (19) and Whitewater (44).
In the identity theft ranking, Wisconsin cities did not appear in the top 50. Madison was ranked 269 and Milwaukee was ranked 193.
