We introduce a novel concept of the activeness of internal capital allocations across industries. We derive a measure of this activeness and use it to compare the performance of firms with different capital allocation styles. We find that firms that actively change their capital allocation across industries have a lower average industry-adjusted profitability than firms that follow passive strategies. Moreover, we find that active firms obtain lower valuation and lower excess stock returns in subsequent periods. Our findings suggest that conglomerate firms that actively allocate resources across industries do not do so efficiently, and that the stock market does not fully incorporate the information revealed through the internal capital allocation process.

Origin of the Hoop
When Dr. James Naismith invented the game of basketball in 1891 at Springfield College, he used peach baskets as the original baskets.
In the school's indoor gymnasium, there was an elevated track running around the room. Onto it, Dr. Naismith nailed that legendary peach basket. The students then used a soccer ball to score points by tossing into the basket.
Initially, a ladder was used to retrieve the ball after a shot was made. Later a pole was utilized to poke the ball back out.
The original 13 rules of basketball discuss how the ball must settle in the basket to count as a point. Rule #7 even mentions the notion of goalkeeping, where an opponent is not allowed to touch the basket while the ball is in the process of settling into the basket.
This notion is confusing to us, however, considering we believe the first baskets were more than 10 feet high. Looking at the picture of the first basket, we cannot help but think the basket is almost 12 feet high, which we are fairly sure the first players could not reach.
Iron hoops and a hammock-style basket were introduced in 1893. Another decade passed, however, before the innovation of open-ended nets put an end to the practice of manually retrieving the ball from the basket each time a goal was scored.
The last major change was that a backboard was added. As mentioned, the original basket was nailed to the elevated track. The fencing around the track is clear in the image of the first basket. Spectators for early games would sit on the track level to watch, and could reach down and interrupt a shot into the basket. This is why the modern basketball hoop has a backboard. Today, that backboard serves a purpose in the game as a reflection board for shots. But when it was added, it was just to keep meddling fans out of the way.

D. W. Hoard, R. C. Smith (CTIO)
Each year, Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) hosts a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program funded by the National Science Foundation. In general, REU programs bring a group of undergraduate students to the host institute for 10 weeks, where they are teamed-up with staff members to perform research projects. Unlike REU programs at other U.S. institutions, the CTIO program takes place outside the United States and during the southern summer/northern winter months. This offers students not only a chance to perform research and participate in the day-to-day life at a major astronomical observatory, but also provides a unique exposure to a foreign culture and an option for students who can take advantage of a non-traditional work experience during the academic year. CTIO REU students also benefit from interaction with their Chilean counterparts participating in the Prácticas de Investigación en Astronomía, an REU-like program operated by CTIO for Chilean undergraduates. Since 1995, CTIO has hosted 16 REU students (with 4 more coming in 2000). Thirteen (and counting) publications have resulted from CTIO REU projects; all 4 REU students in the 1999 program attended the 194th AAS meeting to present posters based on their projects. We present here an overview of the REU program at CTIO.

Weather Journal: Clouds Gathered, But No Tornado Damage
With weather officials sounding the all-clear Thursday afternoon, Greater New York emerged undamaged from the historic tornado outbreak that has afflicted nearly half the nation and rendered this month the most tornadically active April in U.S. history.
Funnel clouds made their closest brush with New York City since striking Brooklyn and Queens last September, with a trained weather spotter observing three in short succession near Wayne, N.J., at about 12:15 p.m. Thursday. At one point, six counties in the region were under a tornado warning.
Radar imagery at that time confirms a significant threat, with Doppler wind estimates in excess of 70 mph. There were several reports of downed trees Thursday, but none of damaged houses — unlike Wednesday's tornadoes in upstate New York.
Thankfully, the weather will turn calmer for the weekend. Expect highs in the upper 60s with sunny skies. Our next rain chance won't come until Monday night.
Tragic Tornado Toll: While Greater New York survived unscathed, areas of the Deep South were not as lucky.
Calling the sudden disaster "heartbreaking" and the damage "catastrophic", President Barack Obama said he will visit Alabama — the epicenter of the outbreak — on Friday. With the death toll rising past 280, he also declared a state of emergency, which will help mobilize federal aid.
The Wall Street Journal has an interactive map of exactly where the tornadoes struck. NOAA and NASA have released satellite loops of the storms. But perhaps most chilling are the eyewitness videos taken by survivor, many with only gasps or sobs audible over the roar of the storms.
In the modern radar era, dating back about 60 years, on only one occasion — the 1974 "Super Outbreak" — have there been more tornado-related fatalities than on Wednesday. That day in 1974 was also the only day in recorded history with more than two EF-5 tornadoes — the highest on the damage scale, with winds in excess of 200 mph. Those facts could likely change after storm surveyors finish their work in the coming days.
Flood Watch: Perhaps an equally significant weather event is looming along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. With up to 19 inches of rain falling in just a few days across Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois — the same storm system producing all the tornadoes in Alabama will cause record flooding this weekend along those rivers. Officials decided not to intentionally destroy levees protecting farmland in order to divert water away from towns at risk in Missouri.
That water will take about three weeks to make it all the way to New Orleans, where forecasts as of now call for only three feet to spare before flood stage.

"Oct. 10 is ""World Mental Health Day"". In 2012, its theme is ""Depression: a Global Crisis"". According to statistics from the United Nations, about 350 million people suffer from depression in the world. Approximately one million people commit suicide every year because of depression. Depression becomes a health crisis worldwide.
Depression (also DEP) is a set of mood disorders or affective disorders with the main symptom of depression caused by various reasons. It is a set of clinical syndrome or conditions centered by the depression of mood self-experience, which is characterized by chronicity, repeated outbreak and various symptoms such as depressed mood, sorrow and pain, lack of interest and pleasant sensation and no motivation. It is generally believed that the morbidity of depression is mainly associated with biochemical factors such as 5-HT, DA and NE, genetic factors as well as social and environmental factors.
In developed countries, the sales volume of medicines for depression and anxiety disorder amounts to 45% of market share of nervous centralis medicines. Depressant medicines and schizophrenia drugs totally account for 80% of world's mental disorder medicines. There are totally 50 to 60 varieties of antidepressants on the market or in development, which is more than therapeutic agents of schizophrenia. According to reports, the current eight best-selling antidepressants globally are Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline, Fluvoxamine, Venlafaxine, Mirtazapine, Duloxetine and Amitriptyline, and the total sales amount exceeds 80% of global antidepressant market.
With the rapid development of economy, continuous improvement in people's living standards, continuously-intensified social competition, recombination of labor forces and changes in population and family structures, depression presents an obviously increasing trend in China. It is estimated that there are over 30 million depression patients in China, among which more than 90% cannot be promptly diagnosed and treated, causing deterioration of diseases and even serious consequences of committing suicide. Statistics show that committing suicide becomes an important cause of death among young adults aged between 15 and 34 in China. Among these crowds, depression patients account for about two-thirds.
At present, the market size of China's antidepressants is very small. In 2012, the market size of China's antidepressants in hospital medicines is only about CNY 3.2 billion, with an increase of 22.6% YOY. In terms of national medicine market, the antidepressant market is still in a small size on the whole. However, with the increasing recognition rate of doctors for depression and people's changes in treatment concepts, it is expected that the future potential of China's antidepressant market is fairly great. It is predicted that in coming years, the annual growth rate of market size of China's antidepressants in hospital medicines will maintain over 20%.

COLUMBIA - The S.C. House passed a bill Wednesday that bans abortion after 19 weeks, a measure that critics say would open up the state to legal challenges that could cost South Carolina millions and interfere with a doctor's decision to make a medically appropriate decision.
The bill, H. 4223, known as a "fetal pain" measure, passed on a largely party line vote, 84-29. Republicans said the state is showing its respect for human life, especially because they said fetuses can feel pain at 20 weeks, a disputed notion in the medical community.
Abortion-rights advocates blasted the decision, and Democrats said that conservatives who preach that government should stay out of people's lives were hypocritical and looking for an election-year issue. The entire House of Representatives is up for re-election this year.
Rep. Wendy Nanney, R-Greenville, the bill's primary sponsor, said in an interview that politics had nothing to do with it. "I've always been pro-life," she said. As for critics, she said, "I would rather err on the side of protecting that baby from pain."
Democrats said that conservatives' concern for life didn't extend beyond the womb, as they vote down measures to increase funding for poverty programs and education. "The role of government is not to be in the bedrooms of family in this state," said Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter, D-Orangeburg. "Why are y'all spending time on issues that appeal to a vocal minority?"
The Legislature is considering a host of anti-abortion bills this year. Lawmakers say that as the House bill makes it way to the S.C. Senate, it may have the best chance of passing of any of those measures.
Some in the anti-abortion movement also don't consider the measure much of a victory. No South Carolina abortion clinics perform 20-week abortions. "For many of us in the pro-life movement, we're scratching our heads," Kevin Baird, a Charleston pastor, has said. "This addresses what - maybe zero to some anomaly? Then we feel like we have a victory?"
Such late-term abortions are rare and account for less than 1 percent of all abortions, women's health advocates say. They fear that, if the bill is passed, doctors may decide not to abort pregnancies even if it is the appropriate medical decision.
"While no woman should have to justify her personal medical decisions, the reality is that abortion later in pregnancy is very rare and often happens under heartbreaking and tragic circumstances," said Melissa Reed, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood. "Politicians have no place in that conversation."
If a woman is on the verge of organ failure or death, the bill provides an exception in those case, House members said.
Nine other states have passed 20-week bans and several legal challenges are making their way through the courts.

I`m not the sort of person who would routinely abuse or mock conspiracy theorists and their ideas. OK, as my reader in Halifax has probably just pointed out, that's not strictly speaking true. Its not true in as much as it is an utter fabrication, i do quite often mock the ideas of conspiracy theorists and by default the theorists themselves. OK, its a fair cop, i take the piss a lot, but its not my fault, they are so intolerably stupid that they make me do it, so really its their own fault. See picture above for evidence, Space Battles+NASA+invented thunderstorms+Conspiracy Theorist= House for the mentally disadvantaged.
To be fair usually i do it rather unsubtly in the guise of Daily Fail journalist Hugh Janus. But a recent trawl through some conspiracy claims has caused me to stick my own head out of the trenches. Some of the claims are so randomly stupid that they can only be made by people who are what i would term, professionally stupid. That is to say that, if they were as stupid as their claims and reasoning's, i fail to see how it would be possible for them to perform basic human functions like putting food in their mouths with a fork without maiming themselves an possibly most of western civilization with it.
There will follow a few examples of such incessant, incredulity inducing moronity that my reader in Halifax will be left astounded that there isn't a compulsory sterilization or euthanasia law in some parts of the USA. Sorry did i say USA i meant the rest of the world, though in my defence many of the people who are conspiracy theorists tend to be American Alex Jones fans who are prime examples of why siblings should be given separate bedrooms during puberty. And yes you did read the headline correct, apparently a cat on YouTube has proved that the planes that hit the Twin Towers were CGI fakes
The claim here is that because a cat doesn't penetrate and explode when it runs into a wall it proves via physics (or should that be fizzix) that the 9/11 planes were indeed fakes. That is a startling and incredible claim but probably not in the way that the author intended. One can only assume that the planes were CGI and timed explosives went off the very second they "hit" the building on screen just to fool the watching TV audience, though how the audience at ground zero who saw the planes can be accounted for i guess we'll never know.
Yes you read that correctly, 80 million (THATS MILLION) miles per hour that has apparently been referenced in Revelations of all places. How much fuel would that require, why aren't we crossing the universe on day trips and what about the sonic boom moment surely we would all hear that and those that live next door to the pilots would know something was up with their neighbour even if nobody else did, surely to goodness.
Yep, those pesky ancient Egyptians "only" had batteries and ANTI-GRAVITY. Anti-Gravity, you heard it here first folks, not just "only" Anti-Gravity but said in full on disdain mode too! why oh why if they had Anti-gravity back then are they still not rulers of the world now. How did the Russians crash at Roswell, wasn't there enough land in the USSR to do their own tests over rather than risk crashing into their greatest rivals territory and handing them free technology.
The moon is sucking up chemtrails, wouldn't that be a good thing for all the chemtrail conspiracy theorists as none of them live there unless of course they are planning a fake moon landing in the near future. Besides when you can't even get a guy with an anonymous mask to agree with you, your theory is outlandish at best or in reality the author might just be clinically dangerous.
Is it? Now i`m not a religious kind of guy, when i say not a religious kind of guy, what i mean is atheist. To be fair my grasp of The Bible is probably a bit limited but i`m pretty certain it`s not about Plato`s Atlantis. I don't remember a book in it called Atlantis or Plato let alone stories of genetic manipulation run by the Annunaki. To be fair is this author really a mining creature or just some ordinary guy typing made up shit onto Facebook.
In conclusion should i note the serious side that people aren't just believing these things, but that they believe their ability to state such unverifiable claims via technology to the world somehow provides credence to the assertion? Or is it more serious a point that they may earn converts to their way of thinking? Personally i think both of those are prescient points but my main problem is if society dealt with this issue what would be left to laugh at? Where would we go to feed our superiority complex?
Sadly that's probably the reason for reading such drivel, feeding our own vanity at the expense of what we perceive as an intellectual underclass. Perhaps people like myself need the fringe conspiracy community to exist more than they need us to read their outpourings. Ultimately i want them to remind me i`m best and allow me to mock and keep Alec A Woody at Info-Whores in a job. All the cat seems to have proved is the existence of my own arrogant vanity rather than the conspiracy`s of the dangerously idiotic authors.

HACKENSACK — A North Bergen Department of Public Works employee made his first appearance in a Bergen County courtroom this morning on conspiracy and official misconduct charges.
In an eight-count state grand jury indictment, Timothy Grossi, 73, of Jersey City was charged in December with conspiracy, two counts of official misconduct, pattern of official misconduct, theft by unlawful taking, misapplication of entrusted property and property of government, tampering with public records or information and falsifying or tampering with records.
Grossi, the deputy director of the North Bergen DPW, was suspended without pay. Grossi has worked for the township since 1985 and had been making $133,000 a year at the time of his arrest, township spokesman Paul Swibinski said.
Authorities say that Grossi ordered employees to work on
political campaigns and to perform personal chores at his home and the homes of
others while being paid by the township.
The North Bergen Concerned Citizens' Group, an anti-North Bergen administration organization, said that a 2011 video posted on Youtube.com showed Grossi intimidating a store owner to remove a campaign sign from a rival slate from her window. North Bergen officials said the video, which did not have sound, shows nothing.
Grossi, with his attorney Sam DeLuca, appeared in front of Bergen County Superior Court Judge Donald
Venezia this morning, answering "Yes, your Honor" and "No, your Honor" to a series of questions after hearing the charges.
DeLuca said he will consider making the motion at Grossi's next scheduled appearance on May 13 after looking into discovery paperwork..
The prosecutor also asked Venezia to consider bail in the case, but was denied. Venezia said that Grossi was not a flight risk based on his lack of criminal history and his age.
Grossi is one of four DPW officials who have been indicted by the Attorney General's Office.
On Sept. 11, DPW Superintendent James Wiley pleaded guilty
to conspiracy to commit official misconduct, admitting he directed DPW
employees to perform hundreds of hours of chores at his home and to work on
campaigns while being paid by the township.
Ten days later, DPW supervisors Troy Bunero and Francis Longo were indicted for allegedly directing employees to do personal chores for Wiley and work on campaigns.

The decision by 3B Orthopaedics to move from Center City's Pennsylvania Hospital and become employees of Aria Health, effective Tuesday, shows that even prominent doctors are not immune from the economic forces reshaping medicine.
Driving the move was 3B's desire to expand its footprint in the region, according to Robert E. Booth Jr., one of the partners in 3B, short for Booth Bartolozzi Balderston Orthopaedics. The group had been an independent practice at Pennsylvania Hospital, part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System, since 1998.
"Without growth it's not going to be possible in the contemporary world to continue practicing," Booth said. "The economic pressures are pretty obvious. Everyone is reimbursing less every year," he said, referring to payments from government and private insurers.

Sarah Wildman: Paper Love ... Inside the Holocaust Archives-Letters From a Lost LoveRoundup: Talking About History
At Karl's funeral, my father's eulogy began with the words of French Gen. Ferdinand Foch:"Hard pressed on my right. My center is yielding. Impossible to maneuver. Situation excellent. I attack." This was my grandfather—everything, regardless of reality, was always"wonderful." True story: Lacking the correct papers, fleeing Austria, my grandfather arrived in Hamburg, Germany, to board a ship armed only with a set of lies. As his sister and mother huddled anxiously at the port, my grandfather struck off to see the city."Who knows when I'll next get the chance to see Hamburg?" he is said to have said. His flight from Vienna—age 26, a year after graduating from medical school at the University of Vienna and six months after the anschluss, when all the Jewish students were expelled from that institution—was nothing short of remarkable and complete with a happily-ever-after ending: Everyone in the family got out by sheer luck and lies. But the correspondence I found insisted otherwise.
"Dear Karl, I heard you married. And you have a boy," begins a damning missive dated September 1946. The boy is my father."Since you left, I never heard from you. You never got the idea to ask us what happened with your relatives?" It is my grandfather's niece Lotte, writing from Lyon. She doesn't explain how she got from Vienna to France."We had to sacrifice much. Our beloved parents died in a concentration camp." Her brother is dead, as are her son and her husband. Her brother-in-law has lost his mind."I ask you to write to Regina [her sister] and me, because then we won't feel so alone in the world."
There are letters in Yiddish and Polish and German and Hebrew and one, blissfully, in French. German, unfortunately, is my worst language—slow and painful, it takes me a day to read each letter, and I fear I'm losing tone. But I'm friendly with enough native German speakers to be able to scan letters and e-mail them around. The letters from Shanghai begin in 1939 and continue through 1948. A handful of crumbling pages mark the last days of cousins in Vienna; they, too, curse Karl and his mother for abandoning them....

Would it be any use in terms of helping me learn biology from scratch?
Have you used this book?
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
I used this last year Which includes Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I recommend it (I got A* in chemistry and predicted that in Biology and Physics, I'll soon find out).
In terms of learning Biology from scratch, these books are better for revisiting what you have done already in class. It would prepare you and give you a feel for the syllabus, but I would just say to wait until your actually being taught.
The reason I need something which will teach me it from scratch is because I was home schooled for the gcse years and only completed some in college this past year, but non of those were science related and I would like to do biology but as I know absolutely nothing I would prefer to know some basics first
Yes. Everything you need is in them.
it's good for biology however if you don't do triple science and you only do core or additional then i suggest you get a different book as the separate books include unit 7 which triple science students only do
trust me, i do/did triple science
This was posted from The Student Room's Android App on my GT-I9300
I've used those books and they are brilliant! However, when revising from those books, learn every detail (even those which you think are not important or briefly look over) since when I was revising for my exams, everything I needed to know from the specification was written in those books.
I always recommend CGP for GCSE level revision. They seem to get just the right tone and explain things really well. A shame this doesn't hold above GCSE level though.

Clay Matthews is overrated, injury-prone, and would be better on a defense with bigger line. Packers use the dime as a base defense with two lineman and two outside linebackers. Not a good fit for Matthews as he does not have the size to rush or set edge against big tackles.
He was great rushing alongside Cullen Jenkins in the nickel during our 2010 Super Bowl run, but when he is the sole rusher from one side, he just cannot get it done.
Time for a trade:
- Packers get #5 draft pick from Raiders, which is predicted to be Jadeveon Clowney.
At 6'6" and 275 lbs he is the best rusher coming out of college and can set the edge.
- Raiders get Clay Matthews which works out well for him too, as the Raiders move back to LA where Matthews went to college and where he can do his many TV ads and even shows and movies.
Happy New Year!

+----------+ 1 n +----------+ | Consumer |<>-------->| Producer | +----------+ +----------+where you have N consumers and M producers, where N > M. An example could be a mesh, where the consumers are vertices written to a display list and the producers are the results of vertex calculations. In a mesh, one vertex would be used many times in the display list, hence a naive solution would be:
FOREACH point to be drawn READ vertex data WRITE vertex data to display list ENDFORThis would be using the relationship "consumer gathers from producer". Notice that the number of reads and writes are 2N. Instead, if one considers the inverse relationship "producers scatter to consumers", then since each producer can have more than one consumer, we let each producer have a list of consumers. Hence, in our example:
FOREACH vertex READ vertex data FOREACH position in display list WRITE vertex data to display list ENDFOR ENDFORFor this algorithm, the number of reads and writes is M + N which is less than 2N because M < N. -- PalKristianEngstad. When to use More generally this pattern is applicable where each consumer polls n producers and each producer supplies m consumers (rather than just for m=1 as described above). Use the pattern in reverse when m > n :-) I've used it with a substantial saving even when m=n. Here the saving arose because a significant fraction of times the supplier had nothing to supply. The overhead for determining whether there was anything to supply was cut by a factor of m. -- JamesCrook Notes Someone mentioned ObserverPattern as an "implementation hint". ObserverPattern is related to this, but where Observer uses a "pull" subscription mechanism, this uses a "push" mechanism. This is a good case where optimization and re-use might be at odds - a pull mechanism is easy to extend by adding observers. A push mechanism is faster in most cases but adding observers is more difficult. Also, a pull mechanism is easier to implement since each Observer can know in advance which objects it will be observing - so the implementation can simply reserve an object variable for a pointer to the observed object. With a push mechanism, every observer must be known - either in advance [which hinders re-use] or else via some form of list. With these caveats, there is no reason an implementation using ConvertGathersToScatters could not be dynamically updated with new observers, and indeed it will still perform faster than the ObserverPattern in the case of infrequent updates. This contrast can also be viewed in system architecture - an interrupt-driven I/O system uses a "push" architecture, while a polling I/O system uses a "pull" architecture. Interrupt-driven systems are well-known to achieve higher performance, and where events are sparse a polling architecture can waste considerable time discovering that there is nothing to do. Another example is in internet radio. Since IP does not support broadcast or multicast messaging across the whole internet, any internet "broadcast" must in fact be sent to each consumer separately. Thus, an internet radio "station" has bandwidth requirements which scale as its number of listeners scales. This is ObserverPattern par excellence. Instead, the station should register new listeners and send multicasts to them all over a protocol which supports it [e.g. IPv6]. Their bandwidth requirements are now very small. Note that no functionality is lost - but the transmitter is more complex. Also see the ConsumerProducer DesignPattern.

Spanish telecom Telefónica (NYSE: TEF ) said today that it will encourage a more diverse mobile operating system landscape by launching a one-year marketing blitz for the Windows Phone platform in the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, and Chile. The company hopes the new initiative will boost sales of Windows Phone devices.
"The Microsoft business culture is based on a model of value creation through its partners associates, which fits in perfectly with our culture and also with our way of doing business," José María Álvarez Pallete, COO of Telefónica, said in a statement.
The company said in a press release that it wants to offer consumers an additional option to the "duopoly" of Android and iOS. Although Telefónica didn't mention specific details of the new plan in its press release, it said that it plans to offer Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) products such as Office 365, Sharepoint, Skydrive, and a mobile Xbox environment in order to "increase distribution of Windows Phone 8."
Terry Myerson, corporate vice president, Windows Phone division at Microsoft, said in the release, "We are excited to work with Telefónica to market Windows Phone 8 devices to more customers in the UK, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Brazil and Chile, bringing them a more personal smartphone experience with the speed of Telefónica's network."

It's the NIT – the "little dance", the "Not in Tournament", the…- you get the point. Despite being the tournament to decide the 69th ranked team in the country, last night's 63-61 victory over Stony Brook was so meaningful the Plank felt the need to put this ticket stub in a drawer for safekeeping. It was Walsh, it was snapping an NIT losing streak that stretched back to when The Great Pretender was the country's #1 song, and it was a chance to continue cheering on a team that is playing without the tension we saw down the stretch of the regular season. It was the most pure fun game we had at a game all year, and a happy replacement of the memory of Seton Hall's last appearance in the three-letter tournament.
The Pirates came out with fire, building an early 12-2 lead before Stony Brook rode its standout Bryan Dougher and an incredulous rebounding advantage to fight Seton Hall until the final buzzer. The Pirates played well enough down the stretch, and forced SBU into a bad final possession to escape with the win.
Kevin Willard was extremely positive in the postgame press conference:
"I'm proud of the way we came out and played. We were all extremely disappointed on Sunday. This (tournament) is big for this university. This has been a long, tough two years. And a long, tough four years for these guys (seniors)."
Five quick thoughts from our perch in Section 5 of Walsh Gym:
- The atmosphere at Walsh was amazing, and makes your blogger wish there could be one or two non-conference games there every year. The building was so loud that P.A. man Tim McLoone could not be heard, nor could referee Ed Corbett's whistle on a game-changing offensive foul call.
- It's the postseason, and teams should be relying on their season. Jordan Theodore had 21 points and six assists, and led a one-man comeback when Stony Brook took a second-half lead. Pope added 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocked shots, and seemed like the only Pirate capable of grabbing a board.
- SHU shot 40% from the arc for the game. Maybe, MAYBE, there is something to the notion that the Pirates do not shoot as well at the Prudential Center because of a lack of practice time there.
- Nice defense by Aaron Cosby on Dougher on SBU's final possession. The Sea Wolves decided to hold for the last shot even though they were down two, and the whole gym knew they were going to give it to their program's all-time leading scorer. It was more a fling than a shot, and we hope the play builds Cosby's confidence whenever Seton Hall's offseason begins.
- The rebounding advantage held by Stony Brook is alarming. The Sea Wolves had a 44-23 advantage overall and a 19-2 edge on the offensive glass. Kevin Willard attributed some of that to the number of three-pointers attempted (and long shots lead to long rebounds), but there was a lot of soft play in the paint during a game SHU should have been able to control the inside the way it did in non-conference play.
All that plus Iona lost in historic fashion the "First Four", keeping their Top 50 win total at 0 (we are still a tad bitter).
Tickets for the next NIT game against UMASS go on sale at 9am this morning, with the time and date to be announced soon.
Leave your thoughts on last night's action and the NIT below or tweet me @paultyahla.

In Cruise's corner: Los Angeles divorce attorney Dennis Wasser, who previously represented Cruise in his 2001 divorce from Nicole Kidman, and veteran entertainment litigator Bert Fields, who has also represented Cruise for years.
Wasser, whose daughter Laura is a top Hollywood divorce attorney herself, has been involved in a number of high-profile showbiz divorces, with Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood and Jane Fonda among his former clients.
"Dennis is a gentleman and exceptionally bright," says L.A. family law attorney Robert Brandt. "His ultimate goal is to settle cases, but he won't do it out of weakness. He's not intimated by anyone."
Fields, who has represented such megastars as Madonna and the Beatles, "is considered the dean of entertainment trial lawyers," says L.A. lawyer Larry Stein, who practices in the same field. "He's not a brash person; he's quietly aggressive. He's a Harvard Law graduate who uses his intellect and charm to win his cases."
Because Holmes filed for divorce in New York, Wasser told PEOPLE that he and Fields will be joined by a lawyer based in that state. They could attempt to move the proceedings to L.A., where judges are more likely to award joint custody – a decision that will likely be made in the coming days.
Courtesy of Jonathan W. Wolfe; Courtesy Dennis Wasser
Holmes also has a strong legal team in place. New Jersey-based attorney Jonathan Wolfe, 36, will be working with New York attorneys Allan Mayefsky and his partner Michael Mosberg.
Less known in show business circles, Wolfe has handled plenty of high-powered cases, including the divorces of football star Braylon Edwards and NHL player Martin Brodeur, and has written extensively about matrimonial law.
"He is the finest of the fine," says Randall M. Kessler, Chairman of the American Bar Association's Family Law Section, who has partnered with Wolfe on many cases. "He comes from a family of successful lawyers, including his identical twin brother."
Another source who has worked with Wolfe calls him "cool as a cucumber" under pressure. "He's aggressive, but he leans toward trying to keep cases, as much as possible, out of the courts. Without any question, he knows how to maintain privacy and discretion and knows how to negotiate deals. Whatever the outcome is, it'll be fair for both sides," the source adds.
Meanwhile, Mayefsky, a partner at Aronson, Mayefsky & Sloan, is a Harvard Law grad with more than 25 years of family law experience. His firm represented Peter Cook in his bitter 2008 divorce from Christie Brinkley. Mosberg, a partner in the firm, is a Brooklyn Law School grad who's been practicing since 1998.
Mayefsky is "a low-key, excellent attorney," says New York matrimonial attorney Nancy Chemtob. "He's mild-mannered. He's a nice, reasonable man. He's definitely very bright."

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Fusion-io (UNKNOWN: FIO.DL ) got destroyed today, down by as much as 27% after the company announced a management shakeup.
So what: CEO and co-founder David Flynn has abruptly stepped down alongside his fellow co-founder Rick White in order to "pursue entrepreneurial investing activities." Both Flynn and White will remain on the board of directors as advisors for the next 12 months.
Now what: Shane Robison has been named CEO. Robison was previously a high level executive at Hewlett-Packard until November 2011. That experience will prove crucial as Fusion-io tries to further grow its presence in the enterprise storage market. Robison said the transition was not caused by any problems within the company or disagreements on strategy. The company reaffirmed its guidance, with fiscal 2013 revenue still expected to be about $435 million.

Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels Releases Sustainability Standards
7 May 2010: The Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB) has released its complete set of biofuels sustainability standards. The numerous standards compiled in this database range from a technical draft for EU market access to standards approved for pilot testing on: chains of custody; certification and accreditation bodies; and application of rules to specific conditions.
The RSB standards represent a third-party certification system for biofuels encompassing environmental, social and economic principles and criteria. The RSB is in a pilot testing phase and no sustainability certificates are currently being awarded. The RSB is coordinated by the Energy Center at the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne and brings together a broad spectrum of local, national and international stakeholders concerned with ensuring the sustainability of biofuels production and processing, including the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

After the loss against Delhi Daredevils, it's high time Kolkata Knight Riders returned to winning ways.
Jaipur: Unarguably the biggest underachievers in the Indian Premier League, the Kolkata Knight Riders did not get their IPL 5 campaign to the most auspicious of starts by ending on the losing side against Delhi Daredevils by eight wickets. The task does not get any easier for them as they now take on Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Sunday, who were victorious in their opening fixture against Kings XI Punjab.
Kolkata - who reached the last-four stage of the competition for the first time in 2011 - will be aiming for a quick turnaround in order to get back to winning ways. They can also be assured of their full quota of 20 overs this time around should they need it, unlike last time when the match was reduced to a 12-overs per side affair because of a downpour at the Eden Gardens.
The biggest worry for Gautam Gambhir's side will be the disastrous display of the batsmen during their home tie against DD where Laxmi Ratan Shukla, batting No. 7, top scored with 26 as Kolkata were kept down to 97 for 9. A double figure total did not provide the KKR bowlers with much of a target to bowl at, and they failed to make any impact as the Delhi openers, Aaron Finch and Virender Sehwag took the game away from Kolkata with a partnership of 49 in 38 balls.
With a dynamic opening pair in Brendon McCullum and Jacques Kallis, and an impressive new-ball attack in Brett Lee, James Pattinson (who did not get to play against Delhi) and Marchant de Lange, KKR have all the required ammunition to take the game away from the opposition from the start, which can very often prove to be decisive in a Twenty20. Kolkata as always have the problem of plenty in the overseas players department which was once reflected by Eoin Morgan and Shakib Al Hasan sitting out the game against Delhi.
On the other hand, Rajasthan - champions of the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2008 - will be aiming to follow up their victory against KXIP with another winning performance against Gambhir's men. There is very little to choose between the two teams in terms of their head-to-head record with Kolkata having won four of the eight matches, with one game ending in a tie.
They will be buoyed by the splendid innings of 98 by Ajinkya Rahane which took Rajasthan to 191 for 4 and the bowling of Kevon Cooper who returned with figures of 4 for 26 to restrict KXIP to 160 for 9 - which resulted in a 31- run victory for the team. It is unlikely that Rajasthan will make any changes to their team considering the ease with which they beat Punjab, though Johan Botha's off performance could merit a chance for former Australian spinner Brad Hogg.
Probable XIs:
Kolkata Knight Riders: 1 Brendon McCullum (wk), 2 Jacques Kallis, 3 Gautam Gambhir (capt), 4 Manoj Tiwary, 5 Eoin Morgan, 6 Yusuf Pathan, 7 Debabrata Das, 8 Rajat Bhatia, 9 Brett Lee, 10 Iqbal Abdulla, 11 Pradeep Sangwan/Marchant de Lange
Rajasthan Royals: 1 Rahul Dravid (capt), 2 Ajinkya Rahane, 3 Ashok Maneria/Faiz Fazal, 4 Brad Hodge, 5 Owais Shah, 6 Shreevats Goswami (wk), 7 Kevon Cooper, 8 Ankeet Chavan, 9 Johan Botha/Brad Hogg, 10 Amit Singh, 11 Siddharth Trivedi

These fires resulted in 455 civilian deaths and 1,518 civilian injuries, with $1.5 billion in direct property damage. Electricity is safe to have in the home if it is treated with respect.

Zac Efron Will Hit the Beach With Dwayne Johnson in 'Baywatch'
Posted on Monday, August 10th, 2015 by Ethan Anderton
It's been 26 years since David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson first hit the beach in the television series Baywatch, and that means it's the perfect time for Hollywood to recycle it in the form of a big screen adaptation.
Dwayne Johnson is set to star in a raunchy, comedic take on the '90s series with Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon at the helm. And now Neighbors star Zac Efron will likely also throw on some swimming trunks ad take his shirt off for the adaptation. Find out more about Zac Efron joining Baywatch after the jump! Read More »

The book is a welcome treatise, since in most texts the discussion of cerebral venous embryology, the histology and pathology, the clinical manifestations of cerebral venous thrombosis, and therapy is cursory.
The initial chapters are devoted to the embryology, anatomy, and histology of the cerebral venous system. A chapter on clinical manifestations of cerebral venous thrombosis emphasizes the complexity of this subject. It also provides an introduction to the 32 well-documented cases which form the substance of the book. These cases are divided into pediatric and adult examples; the clinical and pathological differences between the two groups warrant such a division. In addition, the series is sufficiently large to be further subdivided on the basis of chronicity. A critical analysis of the clinicopathological findings supplements the case reports. The last chapter, devoted to pathology, radiology, therapy, and prognosis of cerebral venous thrombosis, summarizes what has already been stated and presents

They work better than just handing out business cards, because now the recipient has something with your logo on it that they will be using over and over again. Every time they take one of these brand name promotional pens out to jot down a note they will be reminded of your company or organization.
