Washington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the following statement today in response to President Bush's remarks this afternoon on the nation's subprime mortgage crisis:
"The President is right to address the nation's housing crisis, but wrong in his assessment of why it is stalling in Congress. Democrats support this bill and have tried twice in the past three weeks to bring up the FHA Modernization Act – a bill that helps as many as 200,000 Americans at risk of losing their homes – but Republicans have stood in the way both times. Of course, this is just the latest example of obstruction in Senate Republicans' record-shattering pace.
"If the President is serious about addressing this emergency in a meaningful way, I encourage him to show leadership by calling Senator McConnell and insist that he drop his party's strategy of blocking critical needs, including the FHA bill."

In 14 years, Nancy Olsen Bailey rarely has missed the bimonthly support group she leads for brain tumor patients. "She even came in during her vacation to be here for the Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Support Group," said Donna Dello Iacono, PhD, MSN, RN, who works alongside Olsen Bailey.
That constant, reassuring presence Olsen Bailey offers not only to her patients, but also to her colleagues, is what sets her apart in her practice.
Patients and colleagues can even count on reaching Olsen Bailey at the same phone number she's had for 16 years. "It gives patients comfort to know in an ever-changing society, they can always reach Nancy," Dello Iacono said. "We receive calls from all over the world, from patients and even former residents, now attending physicians elsewhere, seeking Nancy's advice."
Olsen Bailey always goes the extra mile for patients. A 25-year-old woman with a brain tumor required multiple forms of treatment, and missed her friends at Second City during that difficult time. Sensing the patient's distress, Olsen Bailey along with Nancy DiPerna, LCSW, applied for a grant to fly their patient to Chicago for a much needed visit with friends and family.
"Every one of our patients has some sense of loss," Dello Iacono said. "They are worried before every scan and anxious at their appointments, but they know they will always get honesty and a caring response from Nancy."
Olsen Bailey continually works to improve patient care. She recently collaborated with BWH and DFCI nurses, physicians, administrators and others to work out the best treatment plans for oncology patients by organizing their appointments to minimize patient trips and collaborating on their complex care needs.
Olsen Bailey's commitment to the highest standards of care manifests itself in her research. Her pilot research in hydrocephalus years ago helped enable the current shunt to come to market. This year, it was updated with a device that uses ultrasounds to determine shunt pressures, eliminating the need for a skull x-ray, reducing patients' time in the hospital and exposure to radiation with repeated radiographs.
"Nancy is quite simply one of the finest nurses I have ever known. She brings to her work a wealth of clinical expertise, an unparalleled commitment to the highest standards of professional practice and a profound appreciation for the dignity and worth of every human being," said Lucy Feild, PhD, RN, who has worked with Olsen Bailey as both a staff nurse and research nurse.
Olsen Bailey joined Brigham and Women's Hospital in 1991 as an ambulatory Neurosurgery Oncology nurse. Prior to that, she was associate director of Nursing at Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island. She held multiple positions at New England Medical Center, including nurse manager of the Neurological/Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit. She received her MBA from Suffolk University and her BSN from Northeastern University.
Olsen Bailey is a member of the Scituate Health Service and the PTA for Scituate Public Schools.
Nancy Olsen Bailey was nominated by Donna Dello Iacono, PhD, RN, her colleague in the Neurosurgery and Neuro-oncology Ambulatory Practice.

|Radio chatter leads cops to theft suspects
|Faith Huffman | News-Telegram News Editor
Dec. 12, 2006 - Six people have been arrested by local authorities in connection with three separate burglaries. In two of the cases, police apprehended the suspects before the property owners had a chance to report the items stolen.
The first arrest was made by Sulphur Springs police at 7:20 a.m. Monday, when officers found 18-year-old Sonny Doyle Richardson walking down South Locust Street with a stolen communications radio dangling from a chain around his neck. Richardson admitted he had taken the radio, along with at least two other radios, two chargers and a carrying case earlier that morning from the city's public works office at Coleman Park.
It wasn't long before police tracked the second suspect, Robert Alex Dunmire, 21, to his South Moore Street residence, where they found more radios stolen from the public works office.
Police first became aware of the theft after the pair were heard using vulgar language on city radio frequencies between 3 and 4 a.m.
Listening to radio chatter, officers were able to determine that the pair were in the city. They narrowed their search to a neighborhood in the northwest part of Sulphur Springs, then found Richardson on Locust Street.
Both were charged with burglary of a building. Dunmire was also wanted on two warrants for no driver's license and one warrant for failure to maintain financial responsibility.
The next arrests were made by sheriff's deputies Monday evening. Deputies served Brandon Trent Caviness, 22, of Sulphur Springs with a felony theft warrant at his County Road 2310 residence after he failed to turn himself in to authorities at 10:30 a.m.
�Thomas Chad Tedford, 24, of Winnsboro turned himself in at 11:04 p.m. for his involvement in the Nov. 29 theft of truck beds from Temple Trailers.
Police stopped Caviness early Sunday morning for a traffic violation in a vehicle that matched the description of one connected to the theft. Tedford pulled up during the stop, as well. They were detained, and sheriff's investigators were called.
During the interview, investigators obtained a confession of the pair's involvement in the theft at Temple Trailers on Nov. 29. They were released while officers obtained warrants for the charge, with the understanding the two would turn themselves in at the designated time.
When Caviness failed to comply with the agreement, deputies served the warrant at this residence just before 6 p.m. Monday.
While at the location, officials observed marijuana, illegal medication, a weapon and numerous other items of contraband in the residence. Caviness was charged with possession of Darvocet, possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana, possession of a dangerous drug without a prescription and possession of a firearm by a felon.
The third arrests were made by city police around 3:30 this morning. While on Texas Street at St. James Street working another case, police saw and detained two men on bicycles which didn't have headlights and brakes as required by city ordinances. Since one man was also a shoplifting suspect, the pair was taken into custody for further questioning. They were found to be in possession of a car radio which the owner had reported missing later in the day.
The pair was jailed on the bicycle safety ordinance violation, as well as for burglary of a building.

Feds Repay Broward County For Beach Renourishment
The federal government makes its final payment to Broward County, eight years after a beach renourishment project along a seven-mile stretch of shoreline between Port Everglades and Hallandale was completed.
The $8.1 million dollar check is the last portion of the federal government's reimbursement obligation to the county. Broward County hired a contractor to add more sand along that section of the shoreline, which includes John U. Lloyd State Park.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers covered about 60 percent of the cost, with Broward County, the State of Florida, and several municipalities picking up the rest of the tab.

All the notable news, links, pictures, and video in and around Friartown and college basketball all in one digestible, tasty place
A Jersey Guy: Big East ready to respond
So is this the Old Big East, or our basketball Big East? Can we use OBE and BBBE?
According to sources in the Big East, Arseco and company are planning on exploring the following moves.
1. Sell the name ""Big East"" to the basketball schools after getting some assurances from the NCAA that the cost of losing the Big East name will not cost them too much in the lucrative NCAA basketball tournament. If the name is sold to the new Big East, the old Big East will petition the NCAA to get a 32nd guaranteed spot for its champion.
Aresco's contention is that a basketball league with Connecticut, Cincinnati, Memphis and Temple has a decent foundation to build.
2. Give East Carolina full membership (the original deal was football only) which would give the new league an Eastern group of Cincinnati, UConn, South Florida, Temple, East Carolina, Central Florida, Tulane and in 2015 Navy.
College Basketball Talk: Cooley: "We're excited" about move away from Big East
The Big East was changing every single day. There were nontraditional schools being invited and I'm pretty sure it just wasn't in the best interests of them all. But we're excited. We're real excited about the direction. I don't know what's going to happen from here, I just know it's going in a different direction. And Providence College has solidified itself as far as what we're doing to be a powerful player in whatever league we're going to be in."
Casual Hoya: What Will The New Conference of The Chosen Ones Be Called?
Well if that sale of the name doesn't go through, Casual Hoya has some good backups, like Hamsterdam. I am a little disappointed "The Conference of God Shammgod" was not mentioned.
The "Maybe Some Large Corporation Will Pay Us Millions of Dollars for the Rights to Name this Conference, and We Should Jump on That" Conference
Everybody Loves Raymond (because that's just a good show)
The Conference that Doesn't have Syracuse
(Just a symbol of a basketball. No name.)
The Conference Call
Homeland (because our ratings would be amazing)
NJ.com: How Big East's basketball schools decided to finally break off to form their own conference
Great recap of what has gone down in the conference over the years.
The seven schools — Seton Hall, St. John's, Villanova, Georgetown, Marquette, DePaul and Providence — had been wary of the addition but were still willing to stomach it based on the promise of a lucrative television rights contract Aresco was supposed to be delivering. But three days before the meeting, a CBSSports.com report broke the news that a TV rights deal with the decaying league could be worth as little has half of what the Big East was estimating it would command.
It turned out to be the final straw for the league's basketball schools.
ESPN: Mike Tranghese: Blame me
I blame Rutgers.
"If they want to blame someone, blame me," Tranghese said. "The thing the Big East didn't have was a football leader — a Florida, Alabama or USC — a team that contended for the national championship every year or carried the league. It wasn't strong enough football-wise."
Tomorrow night I'm thinking Sidiki Johnson gets the start, just because of how thin the Friars front court is. He'll be rusty, but he's completely healthy. Even though Kris Dunn is the only true point guard available now, I still think he will come off the bench. Bryce Cotton will just fine against Colgate.
Speaking of Bryce Cotton, NBADraft.net has Ice going FORTY FIFTH TO DENVER IN THE 2014 NBA DRAFT. That is amazing.
WPRI: Ted Bancroft: Cardi's Hometown Sports Hero
Vincent Council said on Twitter over the weekend that he is going to play in the Brown or BC game. Adam Zagoria then tweeted today Council was getting ready to play in the BC game (which is this Saturday). His PC info hasn't been all that great lately though. We'll see what Cooley says postgame tomorrow night.

Oh Marshon. This guy is 5'9 man!

Ed Cooley and Bob Simon were in attendance to watch their future player. Imhotep Charter plays next tomorrow. Rodney Bullock scored 19 points in Kecoughtan's latest victory on Thursday. They are 5-1 after two wins last week, and don't play until December 28th.

Western release of Shenmue City planned, says Yu Suzuki
Speaking exclusively to games™, Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki has revealed that he is currently planning to release the upcoming Shenmue City in English. When asked if the social network/mobile game might be converted to western-friendly platforms like iPhone or Facebook he teasingly replies, "There are plans but I cannot discuss them now."
Shenmue City is a multiplayer social network game inspired by the hugely popular Mafia Wars. It is the first game in the Shenmue series since 2001 and is a side-story set during the time and location of the original Dreamcast game. "We're building Shenmue City as a social game, and each individual player is the main character', explains Suzuki. The story progresses as each player takes on the role of a student who works with Ryo at his dojo, called the Hazuki Bukan."
Suzuki has also confirmed to us that Shenmue City incorporates many of the concepts originally developed for Shenmue Online, the Yu Suzuki produced MMO that was cancelled mid-development in 2006. "Two more stories will follow in the future', he adds, "and if management likes our performance, more stories will be a possibility."
Shenmue City is due to be released on Yahoo Japan's Mobagetown service this winter and will presumably come to the west in 2011. For the full interview with Yu Suzuki, see games™ issue 104, on sale 23 December. To avoid disappointment, or for a handy Christmas gift, subscribe here.

What was announced?
The Health System leadership has charged a committee to review and make recommendations regarding options for reducing the costs of current paid time off programs for Medical School and HHC staff.
What is meant by "paid time off" in the Medical School and HHC?
In the Medical School, paid time off includes season days, vacation days, short-term sick days and short-term disability -- also known as extended sick time.
In the HHC, paid time off includes PTO and extended sick time.
Holidays are also part of paid time off but are not included in this review.
What are the objectives of the review?
The committee will provide recommendations that will better align UMHS paid time off benefits with the market concerning:
- Paid time off accrual rates and eligibility of paid time off for existing and new hires.
- Eligibility and income replacement benefit for our Extended Sick Benefit plan.
Our goal is to maintain a market competitive program while generating cumulative savings to UMHS of at least $15 million by 2018.
Why are we considering changes to the paid time off programs?
The Health System must remain competitive as an employer while managing increases in labor-related costs to meet our near-term objectives, assure our long-term success and enable our tripartite mission.
In a recent benchmarking study conducted by a leading consulting firm, AonHewitt, an analysis shows the Medical School paid time off benefit is above market with a market index of 108 (meaning it is 8 percent higher than the average among peers). This places the Medical School between the fourth- and fifth-highest when compared to 23 academic peer institutions. This benefit comprises 39 percent of the overall value of all Medical School benefits.
The HHC paid time off benefit is also above market, with a market index of 118 (18 percent higher than the average among peers). This places HHC between the first- and second-highest compared to six local Health System peers and above the top position compared to the 11 national/regional peers. This benefit comprises 41 percent of the overall value of all HHC benefits.
If we reduce benefits, will that make us less competitive in terms of staff recruitment?
Our goal is to maintain a market competitive program.
When will the committee make its recommendations, and when will these changes take place?
The committee is meeting this fall, and will make recommendations to Health System leadership in November. Included in that will be a recommendation on when any program changes should begin.
How can we provide feedback to the committee?
You may provide feedback at email@example.com.
Why do we have to consider these changes now?
We work within an incredibly challenging health care environment nationally, one that requires us to remain vigilant about our costs, demonstrate our value and make sound strategic investments. Our planning suggests we must close a projected $200-250 million gap in the Health System by 2017.
Why can't we make cuts elsewhere?
We are. We face the same financial pressures as other hospitals and academic medical centers, and we're stepping up to that challenge by increasing productivity, making smart operational and capital spending decisions, and reducing labor and supply costs.
We place a high value on our people and the benefits they receive working in our Health System, and benefit expenses are among our largest financial investments. Benchmarking shows we spend significantly more on benefits than our peers, so we must thoughtfully review those expenses.
What principles will guide the committee as they develop recommendations?
Principles and considerations that guide the Committee's recommendations include the following:
- Align paid time off changes so that the overall market competitiveness of UMHS benefit programs is retained at or slightly above market.
- Consider the financial impact of implementing a range of options from current staff to "new" staff.
- Monitor and consider any legislative or other changes with broad impact on paid time off benefits that are likely to affect our projections.
- Consider changes that will include gradations of individual impact with the greatest effect on new hires, followed by current staff.
- Address the ability of current staff to plan for and manage changes in benefit plan design.
- Address the implications of the proposed recommendations on staff and impacts to broader University community.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/4/2014 (1183 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If you -- or, more likely, if you're in the newspaper-reading demographic, your offspring -- are among the next Winnipeggers who deserve a shot at becoming The Next Star, this is your opportunity to get the journey started.
The audition tour for Season 7 of YTV's The Next Star stops in Winnipeg on Saturday, May 3, offering locals aged 15 or younger as of Sept. 1, 2014, a chance to try out for Canada's longest-running talent competition show.
Auditions begin Saturday morning at the RBC Winnipeg Convention Centre; hopefuls can begin lining up at 6 a.m., with pre-registration taking place from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. Tryouts are on a first-come, first-seen basis; those arriving after 9 a.m. will not be guaranteed an audition.
Potential Next Stars must come prepared with two song choices, with one of them being from the show's approved song list.

No fun to watch Lorenzo easily sliding towards the title just being satisfied with second places. I wish the real fight would last till the end of championship, keeping it top interesting! No matter what we would see at the end Dani has already won - finally showing his has strong personality! And what a nice one! 22 agree 5 disagree

I've heard it mentioned that the Sansui SP-2000 speakers are very efficient - something on the order of 99 db/w/m. Is this correct? What about the Sansui SP-2002? Are these (or other Sansui models) about the same efficiency? I have Large Advents, Advent/1 and KLH 5's, how do the Sansui speakers sound in comparison? Thanks . . . Charlie
Follow Ups:
I would have to agree with the other reply. I have owned all 3 sets mentioned and would have to say the Sansui's didn't quite measure up in my opinion. The Advents and KLH are not my favorite either and I probably own 5 sets of them. I also seriously doubt the Sansui's are that efficient. They also tend to be overpriced because for some reason that was "the speaker to have" by GI's overseas during the Vietnam era. With Nostalgia being what it is a lot of those guys are spending too much for them on ebay- again in my opinion. But everyone has a different set of ears and if you like them- go for it. That being said, I have a set out in my storage container with a blown woofer if anyone needs any parts.
Keep the advents and KLH's - Sansui speakers aren't that good - a little thin in the bass for my taste - I've owned the SP-5000 and SP-X7900, and although they're impressive looking, they didn't deliver the goods.
Just found a sansui brochure I had that had the SP-2000 but it didn't give the sensitivity - It listed the maximum input at 70 watts, freq. response as 35-20000hz, crossover at 1500, 5000 and 10000 hz, 12" woofer, 6.5" and 4.5" midrange, two 2" horn tweeters, and one 1.375" super horn tweeter - box dimensions 25.75" tall, 14.25" wide and 12" deep, weight 45.2 lbs. 4-way, 6-speaker Bass Reflex enclosure.
I own 2 pair of Sansui SP-2000 speakers. They are rated by Sansui to be 99db @ 1w/1m. I'm not sure if they are that efficient, but they are very efficient. Low powered tube equipment will get loud. My 60-watt Nad 314 can get insanely loud. I also own a pair of Sansui SP-x6900, which are efficient but not very good. I've heard many of the later Sansui speakers and they can't hold a candle to the SP-2000's. The SP-2000's are a breed apart from earlier Sansui speakers. They are in well-crafted, heavy MDF cabinets. All the drivers are alnico and very well made. The only weakness I see is the electrolytic capacitors in the 12db/octave crossovers. As far as sound goes, I consider them very good.
I sold high-end audio in the 80's and have owned and heard many speakers. I currently own Dynaco A-25, KLH32, AR2ax, ADS 500, KLH17, Warfdale 60, Warfdale 90, Electrovoice Wolverine 12" Coax, Pioneer HMP-60 and have owned ADS 990 speakers for many years. I sold and have listened extensively to Acoustat, Klipsch, JBL, Magnapan, Kef, Kirksater, B&W, Energy, Yamaha, and DCM Time Windows. I have also listened extensively to Vandersteens, JR, Pyramid, Quad ELS-63 and Spica speakers. When I say that the Sansui SP-2000's are very good speakers, it is not out of ignorance of what good sound is.
Are they perfect? NO! -What speaker is? They are good enough that you should listen and make you own decision. You should defiantly not base your opinion on what people say that have never listened to them.
There is something that a good, high-efficiency 4-way gets right. The dispersion is very even and wide-band. The squawker range is particularly well fleshed out. I get plenty of base in my smallish listening room and it is very clean. I listen to classical, folk and rock.
Crazy Dave, appreciated your post, and you have an impressive collection of good vintage speakers.
Did you ever get the chance to listen to any Pioneer CS-99A's, the arch-rival to the big Sansui speakers? If so, what were your impressions?
These two speaker brands were the big sellers in the PX's back in the 70's.
I've heard them, but the last time was in the 70's so I don't trust my judgement. I almost bought a pair once but the price was a little high and it's tuff to justify another pair of speakers to the wife. I understand that the Pioneers have quite a following!
Hi all,
I have a set of sp2000 sansuis that just don't sound right. They sound like they're asleep; kind of "grey" and lifeless. They don't appear to have ever been opened, so I'm assuming that the crossovers are the likely culprits? Does anybody have a schem. for the sp2000 crossover?
Could be a blown driver. They did not handle a lot of power. It could be dirty switch. Try rotating them back and forth. A cap could be bad, particularly if they sat for a while. The caps are electrolytic. A resistor could be out of spec. They are all carbons. Make sure sound is coming out of all the drivers. Take the grills off (4 screws) and put your ear to each one. Even the super tweeter should have some sound.
This post is made possible by the generous support of people like you and our sponsors:

By Tori Richards | Colorado Watchdog
The eyes of the nation turned to Colorado in 2012 as it became the West's epicenter for the presidential race, a groundbreaking new law and a never-ending drama over voting irregularities. Not to mention two disasters that destroyed hundreds of lives.
With Ohio to the east and Colorado to the west, it seemed as though other states mattered little when it came down to who would become president — President Obama and Mitt Romney's campaigns visited the Centennial State a whopping 44 times.
"It certainly is in the top five, if not number two (in importance)," said Colorado Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call. "No question about that. Certainly it became the epicenter of the West."
For months, the two candidates were neck-and-neck, with Romney ahead for several weeks leading up to the election, polling data showed. The University of Denver was home to the first debate Oct. 3, which focused heavily on the energy sector — a topic of utmost importance to Coloradoans.
The attention directed toward Colorado was a good thing, Call said.
"It forced the campaign and candidates to address issues of federal land use, water, energy, oil and natural gas development and renewable (energy)," he said. "Through that attention, Romney's policy was publicized a lot more than it otherwise would have been. Now the Obama administration is paying attention to these issues more than they would have normally."
Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler, a Republican, was bedeviled by various county clerks who signed a letter of no confidence blaming him for all the voting irregularities in the state. Among the issues was a letter-writing campaign to identified illegally registered voters and a botched online registration process. To his credit, Gessler has made ferreting out voter fraud one of his main priorities and sometimes it becomes a politicized process.
Watchdog.org also launched a voter-fraud investigation and found that Colorado was one of the "dirtiest" states in the nation, meaning that it had more inactive voters on its rolls than most others. This scenario is a breeding ground for voter fraud because the voter database is public information, and anyone could show up to a polling place without a photo ID and vote.
Voters approved marijuana for recreational use, making Colorado and Washington the only states where this is allowed. Call says this ballot initiative passed only because the tight race with Obama brought out voters who normally would not go to the polls. The legacy will be a negative one, he said.
"It creates almost a tourist effect," Call said. "Colorado doesn't need to become the Amsterdam of America, or certainly the West. That's not the culture or image that Colorado needs to be cultivating."
The election returned seven members of Congress to their seats, four of them Republicans. One of the Democrats to win was Ed Perlmutter, who was opposed by Joe Coors of Coors Brewing Co. fame.
Coors brought attention to Perlmutter's ties to environmental issues and how he created a new banking industry to further that cause.
Watchdog reported on how this happened: In the early morning hours when most people are asleep, Perlmutter inserted language into the massive American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, and the Democrats pushed it through to a successful vote hours later.
Specifically, it created Green Banking Centers, which were lending institutions that could offer preferred rates and overlook credit risks to individuals or companies seeking environmental- related loans, or whether they had structures with energy improvements. These loans are insured by the FDIC or, in other words, the taxpayers.
Watchdog decided to look further into Perlmutter and found that he and his father were trustees for MRIGlobal, a nonprofit that manages the government's National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden. Perlmutter quit that post when he was elected, but his father has continued on.
This lab pays its president nearly $1 million a year and his top lieutenants' salaries between $400,000 and $600,000 annually, Watchdog discovered. Not only that, MRIGlobal created a secondary management company to oversee the lab, and together the three entities have raked in more than $1 billion in tax dollars since 2010.
This story prompted NREL employee Kerrilee Crosby to make the following post on Twitter:
"Have you ever felt like going on a murderous rampage? Start at @WatchdogCO's offices. They perpetuate lies like this."
A murderous rampage is something all too familiar to Coloradoans — the 1999 Columbine High School shooting and the massacre at a movie theater in Aurora last summer.
The response to the violence and bloodshed was a strong increase in approved background checks, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The weekend after the shooting saw a 43 percent increase over the previous Friday through Sunday, with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation approving 2,887 people to buy firearms.
And in August, when students returned to University of Colorado campuses around the state, guns were again a topic — a new ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court forced the school to allow students with concealed-weapon permits to carry guns. The school has maintained a ban on guns at athletic and cultural events on school property and also instituted a policy requiring students who want to bring firearms on campus to live in separate housing.
Another disaster erupted in the state in March. The deadliest wildfire of the year started as a controlled burn west of Denver and then roared into a huge wildfire that killed three people, destroyed 23 homes and caused about $20 million in damage.
A few bills addressing different wildfire issues were introduced, including one to allow victims of fires caused by a prescribed burn to receive more than $600,000 — the normal governmental liability cap. The bills will be taken up by lawmakers when they meet again in January.
State officials blame the federal government in part for the blaze, saying old tree stumps were not removed and fueled the blaze.
Despite this, Colorado has banded together and not sought federal aid, as most other states do.
Call said, "We look first to our neighbors and our local community and not to the (federal) government for that kind of assistance."

Major: Interdisciplinary Studies
Hometown: New York, N.Y.
A songwriter and performer, Belk Scholar Arielle Korman views music as a language and crossroads for creative writing. She grew up with musician parents and began singing and playing violin at a young age.
At Davidson she has expanded the musical and literary genres she studies both in the classroom and in extracurricular activities such as freeword and theatre. Although she customarily plays violin for the jazz band and ensemble, Korman played the fiddle for Providence Gap, a Theatre Department production, to create country and bluegrass music.
"Coming to Davidson from New York has introduced me to new southern musical influences and different kinds of musicians," she said.
The summer after her sophomore year, Korman brought the style and fiddle techniques she learned at Davidson to the "This Land is Our Land" event at New York's National Dance Institute. She also used her summer stipend to record an EP at Boomcrack Studios in Harlem, which will feature a set of her original songs. "A loud, resounding thanks to the Belk Family for allowing me to work with such talented musicians and really spend time to make the songs sound right," she said.
In addition to music, personal and academic interests in religion have led her to work with the interfaith and Hillel groups on campus and take courses with a religious or cultural focus. Courses such as Humanities and Survey of Western Art, have helped her to better understand Christianity.
"Having gone to secular schools, I feel it's important to discover what it means to attend a college with a Presbyterian affiliation and how that affects the community," she said.
On campus, Korman has explored her own identity through the course Asian American Communities, which involves analyzing historical and modern issues of Asian immigration to the United States.
She recalls, "The professor said, 'You don't have to be half something and half something else,' I wrote that down in capital letters. I realized that I could have a fluid identity rather than trying to quantify myself as something like half Asian and half Jewish."
As the Davidson population changes and minority populations grow, Korman views it as crucial to hire faculty who are sensitive to and interested in those minority populations. She joined the Student Initiative for Academic Diversity, which she heard about from many other Belk Scholars who are involved, and hopes to participate in a future faculty search.
Korman will spend her junior year studying Arabic, Hebrew and literary theory at University of Haifa's international school. The year of study will prepare her to translate a text by Iraqi-Jewish writer Samir Naqqash from Arabic to English for her senior thesis.

I was about to go to bed when I looked in my tank and saw my clown laying upside down with his belly against some slate. I have no upside down catfish so he isn't imitating them....I think he is just trying to get me to worry. Anyhow when I looked in I must have scared him cause he ran to his hiding spot. Any idea on why he did this? I do not think his swim blatter is infected or anything cause he swims normal most of the time. Thanx

Kashima podiums twice at Freestyles
April 8, 2013
Sho Kashima had just three weeks to get ready for the biggest competition of the season, but he sure looked comfortable on his home mountain and the podium all weekend.
Kashima, of South Lake Tahoe and the Heavenly Freestyle Team, captured second in the dual moguls competition at the Sprint U.S. Freestyle Championships on home turf Saturday. The win comes on the heels of his third-place finish in single moguls Friday. Not bad for a skier who jumped back into competitions three weeks ago, after his second knee surgery.
"Two podiums here at my home mountain is pretty incredible," Kashima said. "I didn't have a full season coming back from injury and this is proof that when I trust my skiing good things will happen."
Joe Discoe, of Telluride, Colo., was the only skier to edge Kashima in the head-to-head mogul throw down. Dylan Walczyk, of Breckenridge, Colo., rounded out the podium in third place.
In the women's duals, Sophia Schwartz, of Sun Valley, Idaho, won her first ever U.S. Championship title on the sunbaked Heavenly course. Mikaela Matthews, of Frisco, Colo., took second, and defending U.S. Champion K.C. Oakley, who is also a former Squaw Valley Freestyle Team member, settled for bronze after she lost control out of her top air and skied into Mathews' line.
For Discoe, the win marks his third career U.S. title. He threw a D-spin in his top air and a backflip on his bottom air.
"Pure strength was what got me through today. It wasn't very pretty skiing but I made it down just barely," Discoe said.
The large jumps and soft spring snow made for some big crashes and upsets throughout both days of competition.
"Yesterday, I had a pretty rough day and I couldn't figure out how to get down this course, so I'm just really happy today I was able to get it dialed in," Discoe said.
Shwartz, the women's winner, had it dialed in both days of competition. She narrowly missed the podium in the single moguls competition, coming in fourth.
"I've been to a few National Championships before and I've never podiumed so to have this win means a lot," Shwartz said.
Schwartz did a back full up top and a back lay in her bottom air.
Heather McPhie and Hannah Kearney, who won first and second in the women's single mogul competition Friday, did not compete in duals. Neither did the men's first and second-place single winners Bradley and Bryon Wilson.
Flying through Freestyles
Fifty feet above the crowd, skier silhouettes flashed against the stormy sky as the U.S. Freestyle Championships continued into the gathering darkness.
With a band playing and a rocking crowd on the hill, Emily Cook and Dylan Ferguson capped the championships with gold medals in aerials Saturday on Heavenly's World Cup. Kiley McKinnon and Alex Bowen took second, while Madie Gorelik and Jonathon Lillis walked away in third place.
Each jump counted. The aerial skiers were judged in a two-jump format, which combined the athletes' two jump scores.
For Cook, of Belmont, Mass., the win was her sixth U.S. aerials title. She landed a full double full on the first jump and a full full on the second.
"It's great to have this result at Heavenly where there is so much freestyle history," Cook said.
Ferguson, of Amesbury, Mass., took the title for the men, scoring a U.S. Champs three-peat. He landed a full double full full on his first jump and a double full full full on his second.
"Heavenly put on a great event here, and it's a great end to my season," Ferguson said. "It puts me in a strong mindset looking towards the Olympic season."
McKinnon and Gorelik, second and third in the women's competition, both earned their second national championships podium. Junior Olympics champion Alex Bowen stood on his first U.S. Championship podium with a second place finish.

The real role of EDA in the Cloud
7 comments
It seems that everywhere you turn these days you're under a cloud. Whether it's downloading tunes for your iPod, reading your Gmail, or backing up your precious photographic memories to that great big storage bucket in the sky – the vast array of networked devices we call 'The Cloud' is a growing presence in our lives.
From an end-user perspective, the changes often appear subtle – books magically appear on your Kindle, and you no longer need a massive portable hard drive on which to back up your system. But this simplicity belies the incredible sophistication of the back-end systems that make it all happen. And that's where engineers, software developers, and designers come in. They are the ones who are tasked with building not only ever-more sophisticated devices, but increasingly a complete online ecosystem to which these devices connect and derive much of their functionality and value.
Seeding the cloud
Things were much simpler in the 'pre-Cloud' design universe. Electronics designers designed electronic devices. These devices typically had a fixed purpose and their functionality was contained within the circuitry and software inside the device. Of course connection points existed to update firmware or allow some limited PC connectivity, but – in the main – devices were standalone entities.
In less than half a decade, Internet connectivity has evolved from something that was only relevant in the world of personal computers to now being included in virtually every product we buy or interact with. Today, Internet connectivity can be found in cars, toys, machines, and even public infrastructure.
This 'explosion' of connectivity has meant that device designers have had to rethink what Internet connectivity means in the context of their products. The standards, interfaces, and design models that evolved within a PC environment have had to be rethought and completely remodeled to fit the various form factors and usage patterns emerging from this new 'Internet of devices.'
Indeed, the emergence of the Cloud as part of our everyday lives is forcing designers to let go of their preconceived ideas of what a device is and where its value really lies, and to scramble to find ways of bringing new, and often unfamiliar, technologies and processes into their design worlds.
A changing industry
From an industry perspective, there are signs that technology component suppliers are forming relationships with device manufacturers, and web-based content and service providers are devising strategies and building ecosystems to spread their systems across multiple product categories. And both are benefiting from the market expansion this provides. At the same time telecommunications companies are rushing to come up with business models that capitalize on this massive growth in device connectivity, and to provide access to connectivity both to end users and the companies providing the ecosystems that service the devices.
The bottom line here is that the world is becoming increasingly connected, and that this growth in connectivity is accelerating. This growth is fuelling a tremendous rush to design and develop a new generation of devices for which the Internet is simply an extension of the device's internal functionality. Hand in hand with this is the enormous task of creating the Internet ecosystems that support these devices.
This ubiquitous Internet connectivity has serious ramifications for electronics designers, and indeed for the tools they require to remain relevant in an industry that is increasingly seeing the lines blurred between the functionality a device provides and the functionality provided by that device's connection to an online ecosystem.
It is becoming harder to separate electronics design from what has traditionally been the web applications design realm. As a result, many electronics design companies have been left struggling with technologies and issues that were not even on their collective radars just a few short years ago.
Taking EDA into the cloud
Electronics design tool vendors are often criticized for lagging the technology that they're ostensibly charged with enabling. The move to device ecosystems is proving many of these critics right.
It's not that the EDA companies are ignoring the Cloud. Many of the chip tool vendors are actively looking to provide some design functions, such as complex verification, as Cloud-based services. So indeed, EDA companies are looking at how they can use the Cloud as a way to deliver their tools in more cost-effective and scalable way.
While this is, on the surface, a reasonable course of action, it really ignores the bigger issue for EDA vendors when it comes to Cloud computing. It's not really about tool vendors using the Cloud to simply provide the tools and services they currently offer in a better or more efficient way. The real game-changer comes in the broader product development arena, and it will happen when the tool vendors ask themselves one simple question – how can they use the Cloud to help their customers design for the Cloud, and not just design the devices that connect to it.
In other words, electronics designers today need tools that allow them to harness their device design experience and bring it to the design of device ecosystems. What's needed is a unification of device and web applications development within a single tool framework.
Device/ecosystem co-design
From a market perspective, this is a rapidly changing game driven by the need to connect people (both end-user and developer) to their electronic devices in innovative and tremendously useful ways. The Cloud offers the infrastructure to do this, but developers still lack coherent tools to bring together web-based applications design and the design of the connected electronics devices.
A simple example of the power of the technology is the way Amazon's Kindle book reader system synchronizes itself across multiple platforms. Regardless of which device you use – Kindle for the PC, Kindle for the iPad, the Kindle device itself – when you open any device you'll be presented with the last page you were reading, regardless of which device you were last reading it on. Amazon uses a person's Kindle account in the Cloud to transparently synchronize this information across all devices in the ecosystem.
Now, Amazon is a large company with huge resources available, so it has the ability to push through the development of such a system with the tools currently available. But imagine if Cloud connectivity and a range of Cloud service building blocks and templates were standard parts of an electronic product developer's design tool. And imagine if the design environment on the designer's desktop was part of a larger Cloud-based ecosystem that provided automatic hosting and deployment services (amongst other things) that allowed designers to connect the devices they design directly to the Cloud and utilize the services they create.
With such a system, even developers with limited resources could bring the potential of Cloud-based services and functions directly and easily to their products and the people using them.
Soaring above the Cloud
In one aspect, the future of devices and the Cloud is clear. Companies that take advantage of ubiquitous connectivity and offer their products with access to value-added content, services, and ecosystems will get the greater returns on their investments. This is because the physical product is only part of the revenue opportunity for these device manufacturers.
recently released its AltiumLive ecosystem. Amongst a range
of services, AltiumLive subscribers can deploy and access-
managed, version-controlled Vaults for component and design
data that can be accessed directly from within the Altium
Designer design system anywhere in the world.
Thus, it's not a far stretch to conclude that EDA companies that develop tools and systems that enable their customers to more easily create and deploy devices and ecosystems together as a coherent design flow will themselves become a necessary part of the ecosystems they support.
The traditional thinking about EDA and the Cloud, such as simply providing a platform to offer design software on demand or hosted web services for specific functionality, will only be a brief stopover on the way to the final destination. The real potential of the Cloud for EDA vendors is in exploiting the potential the Cloud has for connecting customers to their devices, for connecting designers to their devices, and for connecting devices to each other and to a broader ecosystem.
In short, it's all about connecting people and devices. When the EDA tool vendors recognize this and abandon their old ways of thinking about device development as something separate from web development, then EDA will have found its real place in the Cloud.

The expected takeover of Safeway by the Bradford-based supermarket Morrisons will trigger a new price war in the coming year, claims Verdict.
Consumers could benefit from an average 1% fall in prices, which amounts to a £40 annual saving for each household.
Verdict senior analyst Richard Hyman said this marked a new era, after years of criticism that food was over-priced.
The study predicts Morrisons would be a more aggressive competitor than Safeways.
And Sainsbury's and Asda will try and close the gap on market leader Tesco.
Morrisons is at the centre of a £3bn ($5.2bn) takeover bid for rival grocer Safeway.
Currently the UK's fifth biggest chain, the acquisition of Safeway would double the market share of Morrisons, which reported record sales over Christmas.
An across-the-board reduction in food prices would be the first since the 1980s.

Historical Perspectives
Chutzpah in the Grass (AMERICAN THINKER) By Jonathan F. Keiler 04/10/12)
Source: http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/04/chutzpah_in_the_grass.html
AMERICAN THINKER Articles-Index-Top
I was in Zurich airport returning from a school trip to Europe and picked up the local newspaper Tages-Anzeiger to read on the plane. A small blurb on the front page mentioned a new controversy concerning the German Nobel Prize laureate Gunther Grass, author of The Tin Drum. Before now, Grass was controversial not so much for his leftist dogmatism, but his 2006, post-Nobel admission that he had served in the infamous Waffen SS during World War II.
Curious, I flipped to the culture and business section (in Switzerland I guess they are more or less the same thing) and on page 33 of the newspaper found a photo of the portly, bespectacled author, garbed in brown sweater and tweed jacket, pipe in hand, his drooping grey mustache and sagging jowls providing a serious, yet grandfatherly air. The headline announced that the 84 year-old Grass wanted to break taboos, no matter what they are. (Here is a slightly different updated version of the print article.)
And what taboo could that be, I wondered?
Why the taboo against accusing the Jews of being genocidal maniacs! It´s a relatively recent taboo in the annals of European history, of course, having gone out of fashion in oh, about 1945, after the Jews themselves were almost wiped out in the world´s most notorious genocide carried out largely by Grass´s countrymen and colleagues. But before that, well accusing the Jews of genocidal ambitions against the supposedly hated goyim was simply part of the popular culture, made official policy by the Nazi regime, of which the SS was the instrument of policy and implementation, guided by the motto "honor is loyalty."
Grass, the poet, chose to break the taboo through verse, in a terse poem entitled "What Must Be Said" that among other things accuses Israel of criminally possessing nuclear weapons, threatening to destroy the Iranian people, themselves subjugated by a "loudmouth president" -- ahem -- who has occasionally and actually, threatened to destroy Israel. This specific point is not mentioned in the poem, though Israel´s general threat to world peace is. Maybe Grass omitted Iranian president´s tirades for aesthetic purposes. Endloesung doesn´t rhyme with Ahmadinejad? Perhaps the cadence didn´t suit the master. Or could there be another purpose? (For those masochists out there, who actually wish to read this gruel, an unofficial translation can be found here.)
The poem has gotten some attention in the United States, though to the extent it has, it largely has to do with Israel´s reaction, which was to ban Grass from the Jewish state. Not that I gather, he´s evinced much desire to visit.
What is Grass is up to? Well first there is the whole Nazi thing. Being a card carrying member of the SS used to be a proscribed activity, even on the far left, and hard to live down. But Grass´s admission that he was "drafted" into the SS in the last months of World War II, gained him a little frisson at a point in his life when he was mostly ignored, and couched as it was, ambiguous. After all, in 1944, Grass was young and impressionable, longing for adventure. He wanted to join the submarine service and engage in unrestricted naval warfare. But if his account is to be believed, was instead conscripted into the Waffen SS, though throughout its existence, the SS was mostly a volunteer organization.
Anyway, coming clean -- at least to the extent Grass chose to -- was an admission. A coming out of the closet that was at once shameful but probably exhilarating.
And Grass was only in the Waffen SS, the so-called combat arm of the organization, not specifically tasked with eliminating Jews and other undesirables, although they could be called on in a pinch -- as they were throughout the Russian campaign, in the Warsaw ghetto revolt, the later Warsaw city uprising, and any number of other atrocities, including the murder of Canadian POWs in Normandy, Americans at Malmady, and untold numbers of surrendered Soviet soldiers. The 2d SS Panzer Division Das Reich, a Waffen SS outfit and the unit involved in the improbable closing scenes of "Saving Private Ryan," didn´t actually reach the front until several weeks after the battle depicted in the movie. Why? They were busy massacring French civilians on their march up from their base in Toulouse.
Never mind that drafted or no, Grass would have been subject to the most intense indoctrination into the ethos of the organization, of which anti-Semitism was a central tenet. And never mind too that the SS was fluid organization, with personnel floating between combat units and those more specifically tasked with "cleansing" operations.
I´ve personally known two former Waffen SS men pretty well, met while I was stationed in West Germany in the 1980s, and while neither would admit to being a slavering racist or anti-Semite, each harbored hard prejudices. One, a dance club owner who fought on the Eastern front, saw American forces in Europe as embarked on the same crusade he´d been -- stopping the Soviet hordes. The other, a local journalist and former West front fighter, basically hated Americans, for the death and torment our planes had rained on him and his colleagues. Neither was truly remorseful for their service under the double lightning bolts, and I´d bet the farm, that in is heart, neither is Grass.
Anyway, Grass obviously figured that his past is now water under the bridge. Like any good radical -- and what were the Nazis if not romantic radicals? -- he sensed where the winds are blowing. That the left today was just about ready for his full blown anti-Semitism, never mind that the left, as it always has been, is loaded with Jews. After all, Jews invented the modern left, from Marx to Trotsky to Chomsky. And the fact is, there is not a whole lot of daylight between Grass and the supposedly pro-Israel leftist outfit J Street, and even less between Grass and Chomsky, who was himself banned from Israel a few years ago. Left-wing Israeli author Tom Segev managed to work up some ire over Grass, but not enough to label him an anti- Semite, rather begging aged writer to spill his last drops of ink on another "beautiful novel."
Grass may be a pathetic, washed up ex-Nazi, but he is also a lionized author with a Nobel on his shelf. With not much time left, little to lose, and evidently still hungry for the limelight, he´s found his swansong -- one that echoes back to the virility of youth. And whatever his flaws, Grass is no fool. He knows his audience and he knows the fate of "taboo breakers" as far as they are concerned. He might feel a little pain in the short term -- easy for an old Frontkampfer -- but is likely to be canonized in the end. Taboos are nothing but an anthropological term as far as Grass´s fellow travelers are concerned. They are by definition artificial and bad. Breaking them is progressive and good.
And so the Nazi reinvents himself again, not as a guilty pacifistic scold, but rather, as he was in his prime, wearing the skull and crossbones on his cap, an anti-Semite and proud of it, even if, as he declaims in his poem, it is only a label, a sigil, a taboo that obscures the truth. That the Jews -- or is it only Benjamin Netanyahu? -- really are evil.
My honor is loyalty. Thus did Grass swear over half a century ago, to a movement and organization that had already killed tens of millions. He apparently remains loyal still. Either that or he´s just got a lot of chutzpah. Either way, he should burn in hell.

Connections can be found in the closest of places. Like next door.
Which is why the Prince is gladdened by the news that Football Federation Australia, chaired by Westfield supremo
Applicants need to apply to Talent 2, and the assignment is being managed by Andrew Banks, the firm's boss and Lowy's next door neighbour on fancy Wolseley Road in Sydney's Point Piper until earlier this year.
Anyway, it's a big job and whoever gets it has to have "an understanding of government processes". The Prince isn't sure if the successful applicant will get $45 million from the federal government to play with, like the World Cup bid did, but that's probably where the bit about understanding how government works comes in.

A strong 6.4-magnitude quake has struck off the Indonesian island of Sumatra, the US Geological Survey says, but no tsunami warning has been issued.
The quake struck on Saturday at a shallow depth of just 23 kilometres, off the west coast of the vast island and 154 kilometres south-west of Sungaipenuh, the USGS said.
Suharjono, an official from the local meteorology, climatology and geophysics agency who goes by one name, said there was no threat of a tsunami.
The quake came just days after a strong inland tremor in Aceh province, on the northern tip of Sumatra, that killed dozens of people and left thousands homeless.
Indonesia sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where tectonic plates collide, causing frequent seismic and volcanic activity.

I guess you could say that I am just a typical old fashioned guy that was blessed to grow up in a loving family environment. I will be the first to admit that I have made more than my fair share of mistakes over the years due to sinful disobedience. At a young age, I realized that I could not ever be good enough on my own to satisfy God's requirement for holiness. This understanding and the convicting power of the Holy Spirit drew me to the loving gift of salvation from Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ my Lord. I remember the very day that that I cried out to God to save me and accepted his gift and forgiveness.
To know that if I was the only man to ever sin, God would have still sent his only son Jesus Christ to die for my sins and make my salvation available through His resurrection. To realize that "all have sinned" makes this gift that is available to all greater than I can can imagine. With God's grace, please help me carry this message to the lost - no matter the situation that they are in!

I'm engaged in reading The Fellowship of the Ring for the LOTR readalong at the moment which is going rather slowly – not because I'm not enjoying the book – I am hugely, but I'm so tired I keep falling asleep after reading just a few pages. So, I thought I'd start a new series of posts indulging my love of making lists to help fill in the gaps between book reviews – and this is how it works…
- Pick a keyword and then find a number, 5 or 10 say, of books that link to it in any way – e.g. they are either about or feature that word, or have it or a variant in their titles;
- List and introduce the books.
- That's all there is to it apart from having fun. If you want to have a go, feel free!
The key word I chose for my first Lit List is 'Monkey' – Don't ask why it leapt into my mind, but it proved a fun choice. So here are my 10 Monkey books …
- Monkey by Wu Ch'eng-En. I don't own this book, but I had to start with one of the great Chinese classics written in the 1500s. I never watched the TV series from the 1980s either, but millions love the adventures of Prince Tripitaka and his cohorts on their quest to retrieve sacred scriptures from India.
- The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey. This book was read by our book group before I joined it and they're still going on about it – it was one of the group's least enjoyed choices apparently. I recently bought a copy so I could find out why they hate it so, and was told I shouldn't have bothered as everyone left their copies behind at Jenny's house and she could have given me half a dozen. What's it about? Well – it's set in the American West and is a polemical novel about destruction of the environment and a gang that goes round sticking the wrench in trying to save it. One reviewer on Amazon, Brian Buckley, says 'If Hunter S Thompson was an environmentalist, he'd be a paid-up member of The Monkey Wrench Gang.' I think that tells you all you need to know about whether you'd like it or not?
- The Cheese Monkeys by Chip Kidd. Kidd is a graphic designer, and this novel tells the story of a first year art student who learns how to 'see'. I originally picked it up because the page edges which have the appearance of being doodled on attracted me. It sounds funny and quirky so I must get around to reading it soon.
- Monkey Business: The Lives and Legends of the Marx Brothers by Simon Louvish. An authoritative and scholarly biography of the brothers who carved their own vaudeville comedy niche in Hollywood's golden age.
- Great Apes by Will Self – and before you ask, I haven't read this one either! I want to read Self's books, but every time I pick one up, I decide it won't be fun having to have the dictionary beside me every time. Does anyone else have this problem with Will Self?
- Tripmaster Monkey by Maxine Hong Kingston. I did a book swap to get this quirky novel set in 1960s San Francisco with its Asian-American hippy hero Wittman Ag Sing. It still languishes in the TBR piles too.
- Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. Now this is one I have read, many, many times in the past when my daughter was little. It's a charming rhyming story of a little lost monkey who's looking for his Mum. Donaldson and illustrator Scheffler are more famous for The Gruffalo, but this one of theirs is absolutely loveable for little ones – ideal for a read and cuddle.
- Monkey Grip (Penguin Modern Classics) by Helen Garner. I read my first Helen Garner last year – The Spare Room was an unflinching look at a friendship put to the test. When searching for 'monkey' books, the new Penguin Modern Classics edition cover of this one stands out a mile – coming out in March and I shall be adding it to my wishlist.
- The Hartlepool Monkey by Sean Longley. A serious but hilarious novel that dissects 18th century thinking which has a monkey dressed as Napoleon on the cover. Intriguing – non? I put this on my wishlist immediately I found it.
- Jennie by Douglas Preston. I did read this years ago, and it's a real tearjerker. A doctor raises an orphaned chimp alongside his own children – it explores what it means to be human. Rather Good.
So that's it – 10 books nominally about monkeys. Next time I'll try harder to find more that I've read! Do let me know what you think …

World No.3 Andy Murray will try to turn up the heat when he faces rising and unpredictable Australian Bernard Tomic in his Miami Masters opener.
Tomic booked a second-round showdown with the reigning US Open champion with a 7-5 7-6 (7-3) victory over France's Marc Gicquel.
Murray, who trains in Miami in December and buried his Australian Open finals disappointment by putting in more time last month in South Florida with coach Ivan Lendl, won his only previous meeting with Tomic last year in Brisbane.
But no one knows which Tomic will show up at Crandon Park: the dedicated striver or the 45th-ranked slacker.
"I'll see, obviously, when I play against him. I haven't seen him play that much outside of Australia the last year or so," Murray said after enjoying a first-round bye.
"He's a very, very talented player. He makes it tough for everyone. He's got a very unorthodox game."
Murray has the second seeding at the event behind Novak Djokovic in the absence of Roger Federer, who is training, and Rafael Nadal, who is resting his knees after winning Indian Wells last week in California.
The Scot says just because the multiple grand slam champions are out of the mix is no reason for others to let their guard down.
"It's not every tournament where you have to play against Nadal and Federer. Sometimes they lose early or whatever," Murray said.
"You need to make sure that you get into a position in the event where you would have to play them, which is normally in the semi-finals or finals. But, for sure, not as difficult if you don't have two of the best players ever playing in a tournament."
Murray expressed satisfaction with the deal hammered out this week by the ATP with the US Open, which will boost 2017 prize money to $US50 million ($48.42 million) and do away with the controversial Monday finals, which will still be staged this year and next, presumeabely, at the behest of television rights holders.
Murray called it "a big step forward" in purses.
"Players are very valuable to the events, and I think now the prize money is starting to reflect that," he said.
"All the conversations at the ATP, and the players have been having with the USTA and the guys that run the US Open, have been beneficial and have been very positive. It's good that things are moving in the right direction."
In the women's event in Miami, world No.1 Serena Williams, a five-times winner playing for the first time in a month after withdrawing in Dubai and skipping Indian Wells, beat Italy's Flavia Pennetta 6-1 6-1.
Holder and fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska defeated Taiwan's Hsieh Su-Wei 6-3 6-2, while China's fifth seed Li Na, playing for the first time since the Australian Open final, produced a 6-3 6-1 win over Kiki Bertens.
Czech seventh seed Petra Kvitova rallied past China's Peng Shuai 5-7 6-2 6-2.
