Women's Swimming
May 9, 2006
Honolulu, Hawaii native Ashley Swart admits that, while being recruited, she didn't even really know where San Diego was located on a map. That didn't hold her back, however, from choosing the University of San Diego as the place where she wanted to swim for the next four years. Besides San Diego, Swart was heavily recruited by Texas A&M, Hawaii, and the University of Washington, but chose USD after only one visit.
"Out of all the schools that I was looking at, Coach Keeler was the only coach that really saw my potential and really believed that I could do better in the sport," said Swart about her reasons for choosing USD.
Head swimming coach Mike Keeler can recall watching Swart swim at a meet in Washington and knowing that she would be a perfect fit for the San Diego roster.
"She's very talented technically which is really important to me," said Keeler. "She was swimming and she had a technique that really made you take notice."
As a true freshman, Swart made an immediate impact on the USD swim program, shattering six school records and individually setting a pair of new Pacific Collegiate Swimming Conference (PCSC) records in the process.
"I usually aim to just swim and swim well but after I broke one record, it became my goal to keep breaking records. That's what really drove me in my dual meets especially," said Swart.
In 2003, Swart became the first San Diego swimmer in program history to qualify for the NCAA Championships where she placed 11th nationally in the 400 IM with a time of 4:15.01. Her performance earned her an NCAA All-America Honorable Mention and an NCAA Academic All-American award. Furthermore, the PCSC named her the 2003 co-Swimmer of the Year and gave her a spot on the All-PCSC First Team.
"[Swart] had a stellar freshman year," recalls Coach Keeler. "She came in and her mental attitude was at another level. I think she realized some of her talent that year and showed the country how good she is."
A key part of Swart's career as a Torero was the transition that the team made to join the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in October of 2004. Although San Diego had been a member of the PCSC since 1976, Coach Keeler felt his swimmers were ready to compete at the next level.
"When Coach Keeler told me that they were thinking about making the transition, I was really happy," said Swart. "I thought it was a great way not only for our swimmers to do better and to have better competition, but for our school to get better recognition for new recruits."
In only their second year in the conference, Swart won three events at this year's WAC Championships. She took first in the 200 IM with a time of 2:04.91, first in the 400 IM with a time of 4:22.14, and first place in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:18.41. Even with such a strong performance, however, Swart wasn't even sure if she would qualify for this year's NCAA Tournament.
"She was in that `don't know for sure' category so she had to continue training which is another challenge," said Keeler. "You're training for something and you don't even know if you're going to make it."
Swart was listed as an alternate and finally received the announcement that she had qualified for her third NCAA tournament just one week prior to her first event. She took 29th place overall in the 400 IM with a time of 4:20.61 and clocked in at 2:16.93 to take 34th place in the 200 breaststroke.
"For the situation she was in," said Keeler, "she did an outstanding job."
"These past four years have been really exceptional," said Swart of her Torero swimming career. "I've learned a lot of things about my swimming, I've improved and I was able to compete at a higher level in some really big meets."
As of now, Swart is unsure about whether or not to continue swimming. She will begin student teaching in the fall and from there hopes to attend graduate school. Whether or not she pursues her swimming career, however, one thing is for certain - after the last four years, the USD record books will never be the same. Swart has left a legacy behind her that the Torero swim teams will continue to build on for years to come.

I started "Page One" with The Hobbit, so here is page one of The Lord of the Rings. I love how the books open with contrasting chapter titles.
I really like the way Tolkien starts out in LOTR. A lot of people complain that it's too slow, but for the length of the book, it's about right. Incidentally, I read Book 1 last, after 2 & 3, since the school library didn't have Book 1 in. Didn't really seem to matter, I was hooked anyway.Gus

Midday update: Ogier edges closer to maiden WRC victory
Sebastien Ogier has edged closer to his maiden victory in the World Rally Championship by completing Sunday's opening brace of stages 10.1 seconds in front of Citroen team leader, the six-time world champion Sebastien Loeb.
Loeb was faster than Ogier on both stages this morning but conceded he is driving on the limit in order to erode his young team-mate's advantage with two gravel stages remaining before the event-closing superspecial stage, and fears he doesn't have any more pace in reserve.
"It's very difficult," said Loeb. "I am absolutely on the limit trying to catch him. I keep pushing but it's not going to be easy."
Ogier, the 2008 Junior world title-winner, admitted simply finishing the event remains his priority. "I can't go on maximum attack because the boss says I have to be at the finish," said Ogier. "For sure it's possible to win and of course I want the victory. But it's close."
Prior to the start of the final day, Citroen Junior Team chief Benoit Nogier said nobody in the French make's second squad was thinking about winning: "The most important thing for Sebastien is to finish. The victories will come in the future but, for now, he still needs to get the experience by finishing rallies."
Dani Sordo has moved back into third place after Petter Solberg picked up a steering problem in his privately-run Citroen C4 WRC. However, the Spaniard's margin over the Norwegian is a slender 2.2s with Mikko Hirvonen 6.5s behind Solberg in fifth in the lead works Ford Focus.
"We lose the whole steering rack and it's very dangerous," said Solberg. "I was trying but it's very difficult."
Although he conceded snatching the final podium spot remains a tall order, Hirvonen has vowed not to give up on his pursuit of third place. "It's not easy for sure but I'll try to get on the podium," said the Finn. "I need to fight for all the positions I can and after a tough week here a podium would mean a lot."
Matthew Wilson inherited sixth place from Henning Solberg after his Stobart M-Sport team-mate stopped on stage 15. The Norwegian had to momentarily pull over on Sunday's first stage to clear his windscreen due to a build up of dust in Focus. He retired on the next stage when the car's fan belt broke.
Wilson, meanwhile, revealed a possible steering fault but is 32.9s up on Mads Ostberg who reached the end of stage 15 with various engine warning lights flashing in his Subaru Impreza.
Kimi Raikkonen remains on course for a points-scoring finish in eighth overall. However, Federico Villagra was quicker than Raikkonen through stage 15 and is now 12.2s behind the ex-Formula One world champion after moving ahead of Khalid Al Qassimi. The Abu Dhabi driver climbed in front of the Argentine on stage 14 but slipped back on the next stage after reporting a build up of dust in his car. Al Qassimi is now 3.2s behind Villagra.
Jari Ketomaa still tops the Super 2000 World Rally Championship but has reported a small exhaust problem. Renault Clio driver Kevin Abbring began SS15 in the lead of the Junior championship class.

Tulkinghorn loves a thorough and professional PR bod, and they don't come much better than those hugely efficient fellows at Grandfield.
Their particular brand of genius was displayed to its fullest possible extent when they attempted to come to the rescue of client Fladgate Fielder.
The firm, which is facing a negligence action from former client John Mundy over an investment scheme run by Serious Fraud Office investigation subject Orb, filed its defence two weeks ago. Nobody appears to have told Grandfield, however.
A PR flunky monkey told a hack from The Lawyer – twice – that the client had no idea it was getting sued, despite the fact that Fladgates had received the claim last month and had already served its defence. Committed? Or crackpot?

Are you ready to call some of the world's best surgeons, researchers and caregivers your colleagues?
Nationally ranked in 10 specialties in 2016 by U.S. News and World Report, Houston Methodist Hospital invites outstanding physicians to explore opportunities throughout our entire system.
Opened 1919, we're a private, adult teaching hospital on the world's largest medical campus located in Houston, Texas, at the Texas Medical Center (TMC). The Houston Methodist Physician Organization is an integral part of Houston Methodist Hospital's overall strategy to become one of the nation's leading academic medical centers.
It's the mission of the Houston Methodist Physician Organization to offer the latest innovations in medical, surgical and diagnostic techniques and we actively seek entrepreneurial clinicians who are eager to perform research functions while working in a dynamic organization that offers vertical and lateral growth across all departments. Being located on the TMC campus allows access to highly advanced medical and clinical resources at both Houston Methodist Hospital and TMC. We also have numerous locations around Houston and have one of the nation's largest outpatient centers, a state-of-the-art, 26-story tower whose sole focus is to cater to the individual patient preferences taking into consideration the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of each patient.When it comes to patient care, Houston Methodist Hospital certainly walks the walk. U.S. News & World Report's annual survey on hospitals shows how real patients feel about their experience with hospitals across the nation and the results were not a surprise for us. Houston Methodist Hospital scored "highest or very high," eclipsing the national average by 9%. When patients were asked if they would recommend Houston Methodist Hospital, we scored substantially higher than the national average. 13% points higher to be exact. We consider having an impartial, highly regarded national publication rank us a success because of how we care for our patients. It's been something we take pride in and we're proud our patients are so positive about us.

A lovely restaurant! Fantastic food, really delicious and authentic Lebanese food. The flavours were amazing, really happy to have found this restaurant, and the staff were friendly and welcoming.
We went there last Bank Holiday weekend. I was disappointed to see that they did not give us complimentary olives which were served to all other customers in front of us. On asking, we were told that it was because we had not ordered wine. But no one else did before they were given olives. He presumed that because we are Asians, we will not take wine? He then said that he'll give it to us if we order wine! Ridiculous! We were halfway our food, otherwise would have left. Felt very offended as it was very nearly racist.Would never go there again.
Welcoming, unpretentious, friendly restaurant with very helpful staff. Nicely decorated and with a cafe-style atmosphere. We had a highly enjoyable visit, finding a good range and choice of food from their typically Lebanese menu. Their ample portions proved to be both flavoursome and delicious, as well as comfortably filling. So no need to over-order. Fully recommended and deserving of return visits. No problem finding local roadside parking during evening hours.

Debate to change Redskins name gets important supporter
The argument urging the Washington Redskins to change their name has an important supporter.
65-year-old Jordan Wright is the granddaughter of George Preston Marshall, the team's original owner who brought the team to Washington in 1937 and came up with the name. She says the name is offensive to Native Americans and should be changed.
Wright, who had chosen to remain out of the discussion for a long time, recently spoke to the Washington Post and said, "It's about respect. If even one person tells you that name, that word you used, offends them, then that's enough. That should be enough."
She says she understands the rich history of the team and why current owner Dan Snyder doesn't want to change the name, but adds that times have changed and the name should too. (Washington Post)

There are strategic reviews, and there are strategic reviews. First, there's SJ Berwin, which is currently riding high. It carried out its practice-level reviews a couple of years back, most notably in the real estate department, and it's bounced back to an average profit per equity partner of £711,000. The silver circle firm's version of global reach is still firmly rooted in its European operation, but with robust links to key emerging markets – in particular India.
As we report today, part of SJ Berwin's review is its decision to pick a handful of US best friends and to turn its back on a transatlantic merger. This is in contrast to Olswang and Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP), two firms with similar cultures and practice profiles which opted for single alliance partners.
Olswang chief Jonathan Goldstein inevitably champions the one-firm approach, saying that his firm's relationship with Greenberg Traurig has brought in millions from recognisable referrals. BLP's links with Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel are lower key, but neither BLP's Neville Eisenberg nor Goldstein want to spend much time constantly managing transatlantic relationships. That suits both Olswang and BLP, which have much more centralised leaderships. At SJ Berwin the control of key relationships is more diffuse.
Inevitably, Lovells' decision to brand itself as a "top-quality international firm handling high-end work for major clients", which wants to "capitalise on its global network, reputation and practice strengths" lays it open to the charges of vagueness.
In fact, what Lovells is best known for is having some of the nicest people in the City. But unfortunately this doesn't show up on the balance sheet. Its recent history of departures has made the management focus disproportionately on the partner remuneration system, when what it needs most is a rigorous review of its business on a practice level.
It can be done. Simmons had a terrible time three years ago: profit plummeted, it was left trailing in the deals tables and it lost partners all over the place. Simmons, like Lovells now, was also known as one of those cosy workplaces where everyone bought each other birthday cakes. Under Mark Dawkins, however, Simmons has regained focus; its business is now characterised by strengths in financial services, hedge funds and litigation.
By contrast, Lovells' exercise in repositioning seems less a business process and more a bout of therapy. It is, however, a much-needed start.

London, Dec 15 (ANI): WikiLeaks boss Julian Assange is gearing up to swap his prison cell for a room in a lavish mansion owned by the founder of London's Frontline Club, Vaughan Smith.
According to his bail hearing, with 600 acres of land and a 10-bedroom house to roam, it would not so much be a case of house arrest as 'mansion arrest' if he is given the go-ahead to stay at Ellingham Hall, reports the Telegraph.
Spanning the border between Norfolk and Suffolk near Bungay, the estate sits on the edge of the Broads and is often hired out as a wedding venue, offering romantic lakeside ceremonies.
Smith set up the club in London in 2003 to offer foreign correspondents and other journalists what he calls a "campfire to sit around and tell stories".ssange and Smith became friends after the whistle blower website founder chose the club for a press conference to launch his first batch of US military leaks earlier this year.
Assange is in custody awaiting an appeal hearing into a district judge's decision to grant bail and while his supporters arrange a £200,000 security in cash.
He is fighting against his extradition to Sweden following sexual assault allegations. (ANI)

Climate Change Hits America in Its Sweet Tooth
Corn syrup is at risk due to weather and water threats
Corn syrup is at risk due to weather and water threats
Since the beginning of 2014, riots have occurred in countries including Thailand and Venezuela. Although they're different cultures on different continents, these mass protests movements may all have one commonality; increasing food prices may have contributed to their occurrence.
Biofuels made using corn waste could release 7 percent more greenhouse gases in the early years compared to conventional gasoline. As a result, this type of cellulosic ethanol could be inelligible to meet quotas under the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA).
Controversy expands over whether corn ethanol is worse for the climate than gasoline

Renae: Arrival
I couldn't believe what I had seen.
I had finally found a place to just relaxed. I just happen to spot Hazelia Home for Haunts as I was walking past it.
I entered the room and found a paper where I was supposed to sign my name.
I looked up and found my name appear by room 3. Right above it was another name. I hoped the other person was nice. I walked into another room and found a girl reading a book and next to her was a bird.
"Hi!" I exclaimed and she looked up.

J Charles Alderson, Department of Linguistics and English Language, Lancaster University INTO EUROPE European Standards in Language Assessment Outline Trailer for the whole Conference The Past The Past becoming Present – Present Perfect? The Future? Standards? Shorter OED: · Standard of comparison or judgement · Definite level of excellence or attainment · A degree of quality · Recognised degree of proficiency · Authoritative exemplar of perfection · The measure of what is adequate for a purpose · A principle of honesty and integrity Standards? • Report of the Testing Standards Task Force, ILTA 1995 (International Language Testing Association = ILTA) http://www.iltaonline.com/ILTA_pubs.htm 1. Levels to be achieved 2. Principles to follow Standards as Levels • • • • FSI/ILR/ACTFL/ASLPR Foreign Service Institute Interagency Language Round Table American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages • Australian Second Language Proficiency Ratings Standards as Levels Europe? • Beginner/ False Beginner/Intermediate/Post Intermediate/Advanced • How defined? • Threshold Level? Standards as Principles • Validity • Reliability • Authenticity? • Washback? • Practicality? Psychometric tradition Tests externally developed and administered National or regional agencies responsible for development, following accepted standards Tests centrally constructed, piloted and revised Difficulty levels empirically determined Externally trained assessors Empirical equating to known standards or levels of proficiency Standards as Principles In Europe: • Teacher knows best • Having a degree in a language means you are an 'Expert' • Experience is all • But 20 years experience may be one year repeated twenty times! and is never checked Past (?) European tradition • Quality of important examinations not monitored • No obligation to show that exams are relevant, fair, unbiased, reliable, and measure relevant skills • University degree in a foreign language qualifies one to examine language competence, despite lack of training in language testing • In many circumstances merely being a native speaker qualifies one to assess language competence. • Teachers assess students' ability without having been trained. Past (?) European tradition Teacher-centred Teacher develops the questions Teacher's opinion the only one that counts Teacher-examiners are not standardised Assumption that by virtue of being a teacher, and having taught the student being examined, teacherexaminer makes reliable and valid judgements Authority, professionalism, reliability and validity of teacher rarely questioned Rare for students to fail Past becoming Present: Levels • Threshold 1975/ Threshold 1990 • Waystage/ Vantage • Breakthrough/ Effective Operational / Mastery • CEFR 2001 • A1 – C2 • Translated into 23 languages so far, including Japanese! Past becoming Present: Levels • • • • • CEFR enormous influence since 2001 ELP contributes to spread Claims abound Not just exams but also curricula/ textbooks But: Alderson 2005 survey Survey of use of CEFR in universities "Which universities are trying to align their curricula for language majors and nonlanguage majors to the CEFR?" Consulted • EALTA (European Association for Language Testing and Assessment) • Thematic Network Project for Languages • European Language Council Survey of use of CEFR in universities Follow-up questions about methodology: "Exactly what process and procedures do you use to do the alignment of curricula to the CEFR?" "How do you know when students have achieved the appropriate standard?" Survey of use of CEFR in universities Answers? "You certainly know how to ask the very tricky questions" In general: Familiarity with CEFR claimed, but evidence suggests that this is extremely superficial and little thought has been given to either question. Claims of levels are made without accompanying evidence – in universities!!! Manual for linking exams to CEFR • Familiarisation – essential, even for "experts" – Knowledge is usually superficial • Specification • Standard setting • Empirical validation Manual for linking exams to CEFR BUT FIRST • If an exam is not valid or reliable, it is meaningless to link it to the CEFR Standards as Principles: Validity • Rational, empirical, construct • Internal and external validity • Face, content, construct • Concurrent, predictive • Construct How can validity be established? • My parents think the test looks good. • The test measures what I have been taught. • My teachers tell me that the test is communicative and authentic. • If I take the SFLEB (Rigó utca) instead of the FCE, I will get the same result. • I got a good English test result, and I had no difficulty studying in English at university. How can validity be established? • Does the test match the curriculum, or its specifications? • Is the test based adequately on a relevant and acceptable theory? • Does the test yield results similar to those from a test known to be valid for the same audience and purpose? • Does the test predict a learner's future achievements? How can validity be established? Note: a test that is not reliable cannot, by definition, be valid • All tests should be piloted, and the results analysed to see if the test performed as predicted • A test's items should work well: they should be of suitable difficulty, and good students should get them right, whilst weak students are expected to get them wrong. Factors affecting validity • • • • • • • • Unclear or non-existent theory Lack of specifications Lack of training of item/ test writers Lack of / unclear criteria for marking Lack of piloting/ pre-testing Lack of detailed analysis of items/ tasks Lack of standard setting Lack of feedback to candidates and teachers Standards as Principles: Reliability • • • • • Over time: test – re-test Over different forms: parallel Over different samples: homogeneity Over different markers: inter-rater Within one rater over time: intra-rater Standards as Principles: Reliability • If I take the test again tomorrow, will I get the same result? • If I take a different version of the test, will I get the same result? • If the test had had different items, would I have got the same result? • Do all markers agree on the mark I got? • If the same marker marks my test paper again tomorrow, will I get the same result? Factors affecting reliability • Poor administration conditions – noise, lighting, cheating • Lack of information beforehand • Lack of specifications • Lack of marker training • Lack of standardisation • Lack of monitoring Present: Practice and Principles Teacher-based assessment vs central development Internal vs external assessment Quality control of exams or no quality control Piloting or not Test analysis and the role of the expert The existence of test specifications – or not Guidance and training for test developers and markers – or not Present Perfect? Exam Reform in Europe (mainly school-leaving exams) • • • • • • • • Slovenia The Baltic States Hungary Russia Slovakia Czech Republic Poland Germany Hungarian Exams Reform Teacher Support Project • www.examsreform.hu • Project philosophy: "The ultimate goal of examination reform is to encourage, to foster and to bring about change in the way language is taught and learned in Hungary."

This Wolfgang Puck original (via YumSugar) features fresh tuna marinated in spicy wasabi, ginger, soy sauce and a splash of citrus. The miso cones, while daunting to make at first glance, are assembled like tiny masterpieces in a matter of minutes. Enjoy this recipe as an appetizer or feature it as an entree. And a hint about assembling the cones: I found it easiest to only bake three at a time as they harden very quickly and must be shaped immediately after they're taken out of the oven.
In a medium bowl, mix together the dicd tuna, green onions, ginger, wasabe, sesame oil, soy sauce and lime juice until tuna is well coated.
Cover with plastic wrap and store in fridge while you make the cones.
Prepare the miso cones by preheating the oven to 350ºF.
In a mixmaster, combine the sesame seeds, sugar, butter, corn syrup and flour until the butter is well incorporated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop small spoonfuls of the dough onto the baking sheet. Space them far apart as they will spread during baking.
Bake for 4 to 6 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from oven and roll into cone shapes.
Spoon the chilled tuna tartare into each cone and serve immediately.

(CNSNews.com) - The Republicans in the U.S. House of Representative released "A Pledge to America" today, laying out agenda items they plan to pursue if they take control of Congress, that commits the party to "establishing operational control of the border" but makes no mention of border fencing, enforcing immigration laws at the worksites of employers who hire illegal aliens or whether the party under any circumstances would grant any form of amnesty to foreign nationals currently living in the United States illegally.
By contrast, the 2008 Republican Platform, approved by the delegates at the 2008 Republican National Convention, committed the Republican Party to completing a border fence, enforcing immigration laws at the worksite and opposing an amnesty.
The House Republicans included the border security and immigration provisions of their pledge in the section reserved for national security issues.
"Our borders are a vital part of our security, so we will act decisively to ensure that the federal government fulfills its constitutional duty to protect our citizens and our Nation, working closely with our state and local governments," says the pledge.
While stating that the party would work to give the Border Patrol the "tools and authorities to establish operational control at the border," the pledge does not mention any specific tools or authorities. Specifically, the word "fence" does not appear anywhere in the document. Nor is their reference to any other sort of structure the Republicans would favor erecting at the border.
In a subsection titled, "Establish Operational Control of the Border," the House Republicans say: "We must take action to secure our borders, and that action starts with enforcing our laws. We will ensure that the Border Patrol has the tools and authorities to establish operational control at the border and prohibit the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture from interfering with Border Patrol enforcement activities on federal lands. "
Another subsection of the pledge titled, "Work with State and Local Officials to Enforce Our Immigration Laws," says that House Republicans will "reaffirm the authority of state and local law enforcement" to help in enforcing federal immigration laws. This section presumably is intended to contrast with the Obama administration's move to sue the state of
The House Republican pledge, however, does not say what the party would do about enforcing the immigration law at the worksites of employers who hire large numbers of illegal aliens. Because many employers pay federal withholding taxes on the wages they pay to illegal aliens--and thus file W-2 forms on behalf of these illegal alien workers that contain either fraudulent or misappropriated Social Security Numbers--the Internal Revenue Service and the Social Security Administration already have a listing of companies in the United States that are likely to be egregious employers of illegal aliens because they file hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of no-match W-2 forms each year.
The subsection of the pledge that commits the Republicans to enforcing the immigration laws says: "Work with State and Local Officials to Enforce Our Immigration Laws: The problem of illegal immigration and Mexican drug cartels engaged in an increasingly violent conflict means we need all hands on deck to address this challenge. We will reaffirm the authority of state and local law enforcement to assist in the enforcement of all federal immigration laws."
In the platform approved by the Republican National Convention in 2008, the party specifically committed to completing a fence at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Our determination to uphold the rule of law begins with more effective enforcement, giving our agents the tools and resources they need to protect our sovereignty, completing the border fence quickly and securing the borders, and employing complementary strategies to secure our ports of entry," says the 2008 Republican Platform.
The 2008 Republican Platform also specifically calls for enforcing immigration laws at worksites. "Experience shows that enforcement of existing laws is effective in reducing and reversing illegal immigration," said the 2008 platform. "Our commitment to the rule of law means smarter enforcement at the workplace, against illegal workers and lawbreaking employers alike, along with those who practice identity theft and traffic in fraudulent documents. As long as jobs are available in the
The 2008 Republican Platform also specifically commits the party to opposing amnesty for illegal aliens. "We oppose amnesty," says the 2008 platform. "The rule of law suffers if government policies encourage or reward illegal activity. The American people's rejection of en masse legalizations is especially appropriate given the federal government's past failures to enforce the law."

Miami Hurricanes to lose nine scholarships to NCAA sanctions
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- When the NCAA releases its long-awaited report on the Miami investigation, the seventh-ranked Hurricanes may be among the last people to see the decision.
They're scheduled to be on the practice field when the news breaks.
The NCAA will unveil the findings of its investigation into Miami athletics and release any proposed sanctions Tuesday, 2-1/2 years after the probe began and eight months after saying the Hurricanes did not "exercise institutional control" over former booster and convicted felon Nevin Shapiro's interactions with its football and men's basketball teams.
A person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press that Miami is losing three football scholarships and one basketball scholarship in each of the next three years as part of the penalties in the Nevin Shapiro booster scandal. Shapiro is a former booster and convicted felon, serving a 20-year sentence for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme.
The football team will be able to go to a bowl this season and the school is accepting the sanctions, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the decision is not being made public until 10 a.m. EDT. That's around the midpoint of Miami's football practice.
"We don't really concern ourselves with things that we can't control," Miami running back Duke Johnson said.
The NCAA found that Miami "lacked institutional control when it did not monitor the activities" of Shapiro.
Miami will also be on three years of probation, and former men's basketball coach Frank Haith - now at Missouri - will miss the first five games of the Tigers' season. He must appear at a rules seminar next year.
Miami will have some recruiting restrictions, as well. The football program has already reduced the number of paid visits and fall evaluations as part of the school's self-imposed sanctions, which included missing three postseason games
Miami is off to a 6-0 start, and the school's ranking matches its highest since 2005. The school met with the infractions committee in June, leaving those two days in Indianapolis hoping a decision would come within eight weeks.
It wound up taking more than 18 weeks. But finally, the school will know whether the football program, by self-imposing sanctions that included sitting out two bowl games, last season's Atlantic Coast Conference title game and making reductions in recruiting, has already paid enough of a price for the wrongdoing.
"Hopefully they just take a few scholarships off," said Miami Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon, who sat out six games of the 2011 Hurricanes season for his involvement with Shapiro. "The school has done so much already to avoid a harsh penalty by punishing themselves, so hopefully it's not too bad."
Shapiro alleged that he spent millions between 2002 and 2010 on football and men's basketball recruits, athletes and coaches. A study of the allegations by The Associated Press found the NCAA was able to identify about $173,330 in extra benefits - more than half of that, investigators said, going to former Hurricane players Vince Wilfork and Antrel Rolle.
Still, the institutional control charge is considered the worst that the NCAA can bring against a member school.
The report will end another chapter in the saga, though if more sanctions against Miami are recommended, the process almost certainly doesn't end Tuesday. The Hurricanes have said they will not stand for major penalties beyond ones they have already self-imposed, and have the right to appeal.
Shapiro's allegations first started coming to light in 2010, about four months after he was charged by federal authorities with bilking investors of nearly $1 billion. The NCAA's investigation of Miami started in 2011. Some of the NCAA's would-be accusations were erased early this year, when it was found that investigators improperly cooperated with Shapiro's attorney and gleaned some of their information wrongly from her.

RELEASE: Nyack College/ATS Announces New Board Chair
May 2014
Rev. Scott Slocum Appointed New Board of Trustees Chair
For Nyack College/Alliance Theological Seminary
Dr. Ronald Eastman Named Chairman Emeritus
NYACK, NY—Rev. Scott Slocum was recently named the Nyack College/Alliance Theological Seminary Board of Trustees Chairman. Rev. Slocum assumes the role held for nearly 30 years by Dr. Ronald E. Eastman, who was named Chairman Emeritus.
A minister and speaker at conferences, churches, and retreats since 1979, Scott Slocum has served as senior pastor at Essex Alliance Church in Essex Junction, VT for the past 27 years. During this time, the church has become one of the fastest growing congregations in New England and the largest church of any denomination in the state of Vermont.
Slocum, who earned a bachelor's degree in Bible and Theology from Crown College in Minneapolis, Minnesota, joined the Nyack/ATS Board in 2005. He served on The Christian and Missionary Alliance National Board of Directors for a dozen years and is a member of The Alliance New England Executive Committee.
Rev. Slocum and his wife, Diane, have been married for 34 years. They have three children—Sarah, Dayna, and Adam. The Slocums also have two grandchildren.
This Board transition signals a new chapter in the history of the 131-year-old institution which was founded in New York City in 1882. Says Dr. Michael G. Scales, 12th president of the college and seminary, "I'm very excited to welcome Scott Slocum to this crucial leadership role. Chairman Slocum, the Board of Trustees, and I will continue to invite the guidance and counsel of Chairman Emeritus Eastman."
After relocating to Nyack, NY and establishing a residential campus in 1897, the Nyack College returned to the City and opened an extension site there in 1997. Today the New York City campus makes its home in a modern building in iconic Battery Park near Wall Street.
Pillars in the campus community like Chairman Emeritus Eastman have paved the way for new leaders to carry on the institution's legacy of serving to learn and learning to serve. The college and seminary have benefited from the wealth of knowledge and experience that Dr. Eastman contributed stemming from his career with Marriott International as Vice President of Hotel Development and for Real Estate Development and as Group Vice President for Real Estate Development and for Lodging Development.
At the request of Dr. Eastman and his wife, Marilyn, their transformative gift to the college resulted in the birth of Nyack's Cheryl Phenicie School of Nursing and the launch of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program. This division of the college was dedicated in October 2010 on the Rockland County campus. More recently, following his heart for the college's growth and development, Dr. Eastman championed the effort and supported the opportunity to relocate the Nyack/ATS New York City campus to 2 Washington Street in Lower Manhattan.
A 2008 recipient of an honorary Doctor of Divinity from Nyack College and Alliance Theological Seminary, Dr. Eastman attended the University of Minnesota for graduate studies in finance and business administration and earned his BS in economics from South Dakota State University.
The Eastmans are the parents of two daughters and also have three grandchildren.
About Nyack
Nyack College was founded in 1882 by Dr. Albert Benjamin Simpson and currently serves more than 3,300 students in its undergraduate and graduate degree programs. In addition to its residential campus in Nyack, NY and a commuter campus in New York City, an extension site is located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Nyack is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and is chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York.
