Since when does a championship caliber team need to salvage a series with the Nationals? Oh, that's right, the Mets aren't that kind of team. After winning two of three in Florida, the Mets could have ended their final road trip of the season on a winning note. Instead, the Mets lost the first two games of this series to the worst team in baseball.
Last night was typified the season as they had breakdowns in all aspects of their game.
This afternoon, Tim Redding gets the honors. Thrust into the rotation with injuries to Johan Santana and Oliver Perez, Redding has made the most of his opportunity to make an impression for next year.

Sinkstation: A Flat Colander For Food Prep
Have you heard of the Sinkstation? This flat colander came out last year and won a bunch of awards. Originally designed to catch peelings in the bottom of the sink, New Soda (the designer and manufacturer) says it's actually quite handy as an all-purpose, moveable flat draining surface, particularly for delicate produce. See a video of it in action below:
I always wonder about products like this. The video makes it look so versatile, but while it looks to be handy and helpful, I question how much I'd actually use it, and if it would really make my food prep easier. Hard to know without trying it. It could also be one of those "wow, I didn't realize how much I needed this!" things.
The Sinkstation is made of 100% recyclable polypropylene, and it's food-, dishwasher-, and boiling water-safe. Do you have one? Would you get one?

AUBURN—Auburn junior defensive end Corey Lemonier will forgo his senior season and make himself eligible for the 2013 National Football League Draft.
"We appreciate Corey's many contributions to the Auburn football program, both on and off the field, during his three years," Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn said.
"Corey is a class act and we wish him nothing but the best as he pursues his dream to play professional football."
A native of Hialeah, Fla., Lemonier was a second-team All-Southeastern Conference selection this past season after tallying 34 tackles with 5.5 quarterback sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss.
"This was a very difficult decision for me," Lemonier said. "I prayed a lot and felt this was the best for me to pursue this opportunity. I loved every minute of my time at Auburn and I'm very appreciative of my teammates, coaches and the entire Auburn family. It is sad to leave such a special place like Auburn, but ultimately I made a decision that was best for me and my family."
Lemonier was named first-team All-SEC as a sophomore when he led Auburn with 9.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss. The 6-4, 246-pounder played in 34 career games, making 24 starts. He finished his Auburn career with 98 tackles, 17.0 sacks, 24.0 tackles for loss and 33 quarterback hurries.
His 17.0 sacks are tied for seventh on the school's career list.

Former players, colleagues, coaching peers comment on Billy Key.
As word began to spread concerning the death of former Missouri S&T coach and athletic director Billy Key, tributes and well-wishes from around the country started pouring in.
Key, who served from 1964-1990 as either men's basketball head coach, athletic director or in both roles, passed away on Friday at the age of 88.
He left a huge legacy at the school and, in particular, around the college basketball world.
The word "integrity" seemed to be most often used by persons who have been close to Key attempted to describe him.
The Daily News sought out comments from many of Key's former players, former colleagues at the university and former coaching peers.
Here is some of their comments, along with some bio information in each:
Dale Martin: Replaced Key as S&T men's basketball head coach in the 1987-88 campaign and spent 22 seasons in the job. Prior to that Martin served as Key's assistant coach for 1980-87 and recruited two All-America players who played for Key, Curtis Gibson and Duane Huddleston: "Coach Key had such an impact professionally on my life and personally on my life," Martin said. "I was at UMR for 29 years and Coach Key gave me my second college job. I was fortunate to be in that position for a lot of years. The thing about Billy Key was his integrity; not just in athletics but the way he lived his life. (Former S&T Chancellor) Martin Jischke put it best when he said Coach Key exemplified S&T athletics. His legacy will live on, as the court at S&T is named in his honor. And rightfully so."
Mark Mullin: Replaced Key as full-time S&T Athletic Director in 1992, the position he still holds. Key brough Mullin on board as the Miners' swimming head coach, a position he held for 12 years before becoming AD: "Coach Key has been one of the most significant people in my life. Outside of my family, no one has had a greater impact on me. Billy hired me and I am thankful for that, but I am more grateful for what he has given me since then. I was fortunate to work for him, but I was even more fortunate to spend time with him after he retired. We had hundreds of conversations. I enjoyed spending time with him. I learned a great deal about him, his family, and more importantly, what is truly important in life. Family was at the center of his life. He spent 68 wonderful years with the love of his life and it was evident to everyone how much he adored her. He cared about others and positively touched so many, many lives including student-athletes, coaches, staff, colleagues, and friends. I will miss Coach Key, but he will continue to live prominently in my heart. The way he lived his life serves as a great example for all of us and has made me a better person. I am eternally grateful for that. I love you Coach."
Sarah Moore: Worked for Key longer than anyone else currently on the Miner athletic staff, being hired by him in 1979 as a coach. She has since worked as a head coach, assistant coach, intramural director and senior women's administrator at S&T and the past decade has served as S&T Assistant Athletic Director: "Since I came to UMR in 1979, I remember Billy as a leader in the addition of women's sports and the transition of women's sports competition from the AIAW to the NCAA which involved dramatic changes for all involved. Because of the foresight of Billy and others, that transition was handled very fairly and smoothly both on campus and at the conference level. I really appreciated the acceptance and positive environment for myself and the female student athletes in the department at a time when that wasn't the national norm. Billy was instrumental in laying a firm foundation for equality in athletic competition with both varsity athletics and intramurals which prevails even today. Billy invested the majority of his career at UMR because he loved the institution and 'bled Miner blood.' He helped create an environment where athletics and academics co-existed to the advantage of the students, as well as, the institution. I saw him provide generations of coaches and students with opportunities for growth and development on a personal, professional and athletic level. I will remember Billy as a mentor, scholar and gentleman and will sorely miss him."
Mary (Ortelee) Tappmeyer: Started the University of North Florida's women's basketball program in 1991 and has been there as head coach ever since; helping move that program to the NCAA Division I ranks in 2006. Prior to that she served as Lady Miner basketball head coach from 1984-91: "Coach Key took a chance on a 25-year-old with no head coaching experience," she said. "I think about him all the time. He was always so helpful to me. I would always go into his office and he would give me advice and information. He always told me to trust my instincts. And he told me to go to the women's Final Four as a reward for the season and to network. Since he told me that I haven't missed a Final Four yet. And I make all of my assistants go, too. That was great advice he gave me."
Randy Vessell: Was a member of Key's first recruiting class at S&T. He played for the Miners from 1964-68. After graduating and while waiting for his military assignment, he served one season as a volunteer assistant coach for Key: "I've been told I was his first actual signee (at S&T), but I don't know that for sure," Randy Vessell said. "He recruited my three brothers (Royce, Roger, Rodney) and we had about a 20-year period of him being the coach of somebody in our family and probably a 45-year association with all him and my family together. He sat at our kitchen table in April of '64 and we signed a scholarship to Rolla. It was very meaningful for the family; I was the first person from my family to ever attend college. Kind of the American dream thing. It was a family highlight, when we signed to go to Rolla. I have had a very good relationship with him for all of those years. Everybody knows all the coaching stuff that Billy did; all of those things. But if you're able to stay attached to him for a period of time you understand the character of the man. And the character of the man is what I remember greatly. The year I assisted him waiting to go to the military, we took a road trip to Texas, playing in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and then heading to San Antonio. During that trip one of the players had a family tragedy. The young man was a freshman, wasn't a star player at that time in his career. The focus – the priority – completely changed on that trip to that young man. Coach had a team meeting at the hotel without the young man there; he told the players about the tragedy and told them we were going to take care of the young man. He made sure he found alumni to escort the young man back home, had someone there to meet him at the airport. The whole thing. I always remembered how Coach responded to that tragedy. That's the kind of person he was."
Royce Vessell: The point guard for perhaps Key's finest team ever, the 1975-76 MIAA champion and national tourney qualifier, Vessell is a member of the S&T Athletic Hall of Fame: "I always felt lucky, I was there the four years we had the best players for a four-year rotation. A couple years with Ken Stallings (Key's only NBA-drafted player) and then a couple of years where we went to the NCAA Nationals. And earlier we had John Gibson and Rich Peters...It was just a fun time to be there. I always thought afterwards, you may not realize it while you're there, but the program was run properly and Coach Key treated everyone fairly. When the ex-players all get together it's always nice memories. And it was all because of Coach Key.
Rich Peters: One of the Miners' all-time greats, Peters graduated in 1973 and after red-shirting his first year played for the Miners from 1969-73. He is a member of the S&T Athletic Hall of Fame: "He got me going on the right track. Late in my freshman year I was kind of going through the motions. He talked to me and got me going and I ended up having a pretty successful career there. After a tough loss I remember him telling us, 'Don't get your dobber down.'"
Terry Buzbee: Graduated in 1977 and played for Key's two NCAA Division II National Tournament qualifying teams. He played from 1973-77. "Coach was a real respected figure to the team; almost fatherly to me personally. When he thought you weren't towing the line, he brought you in pretty quick. That was a really special time. When you do what we did those couple of years, you remember it always. Huge respect for the man. I don't think people realized how big his reputation was nationally until later in his career."
John Gibson: Graduated from S&T in 1974. A junior college recruit, Gibson played for the Miners from 1972-74. "Coach Key provided me an opportunity that basically changed my life," Gibson said. "I owe a tremendous amount to him. I have fond memories of him as a man and as a coach. It was a great experience. I'll always remember Coach Key called every one of us 'Big Moose.' Rich Peters was our big center but everyone was Big Moose; you never knew who he was talking to. He was a gentle man but was stern. He expected a lot out of you."
Stan Shuemaker: Is a 1985 graduate of S&T. He played two years of junior college basketball before transferring to S&T and played for Key from 1983-85. He is a member of the S&T Athletic Hall of Fame: "I had tons of respect for Coach Key. He was elderly even when I played and was kind of a father figure type to me. I thought the world of him. He was such a good man and he took care for all the players, not just basketball-wise. You got the feeling he wanted all of them to do well after their basketball careers."
Bill Walker: A member of Key's last Miner squad, the long-range shooting specialist had a long association with Key. Walkers' father was also a college coach and administrator who knew Key for decades. Walker graduated from S&T in 1987 and went on to a long coaching career. He is currently an assistant coach for the Drake University men's basketball team: "I'm in a pretty unique situation because I knew him as a friend of the family as well as my coach in college," Walker said. "He was a man of principle and a man of integrity...a perfect fit for UMR. He was so understanding and compassionate with the kids who had heavy class loads. His one year as president of the NABC (National Association of Basketball Coaches) was my last year playing for him. And I think having my name associated with him probably opened some doors (in college coaching)."
Bruce Tappmeyer: Is a 1979 graduate of Rolla High School who stayed home and also played basketball at his hometown university. He is the husband of Mary Tappmeyer: "I'm sorry to hear about Coach Key. I played one year for Coach, but knew him all of my life. He was a kind, gentle man who always asked about your family and genuinely cared about you. He will be missed."
Gene Green: Was hired by Key as the first full-time Miner sports information director and served in that role from 1979-89. He later returned to his alma mater at SIU Carbondale, first in the sports information department and currently at the school's alumni association: "I've now worked at universities for 35 years, and Billy Key gave me my first job in higher education in 1979 when he hired me as the first full-time sports information director at UMR. For the next decade, I worked, traveled, and shared many special moments with Coach, who genuinely cared about the people in his department. He was also universally respected by his peers, as evidenced by his election as president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches in t1986 – a rare accomplishment for an NCAA Division II head coach. I was proud to be with him in New Orleans at the Final Four that weekend, watching legends like Bob Knight, John Thompson, Dean Smith, and others congratulate him as president of their organization. Today my sympathy and thoughts are with his wonderful wife, Naomi, and her family. With his passing, the Miners lost a giant, but his legacy lives on through the players he impacted during his long coaching career."
John Kean: Is the current sports information director for S&T, replacing Green in 1990. It's thought that Kean may be the last person hired by Key while he was AD: "I can recall the day I walked into Coach Key's office for the first time, which was the day I came to Rolla for my interview. I had only known him from the opposing side up to that time, but he made me feel very comfortable that day when I spoke with him about the position – which I am still in today – and that demeanor never changed after my employment began at the university. After his retirement, he still made frequent appearances in the office and on most of those occasions, he would stop by my office and we would have some great conversations. It could be about the Miners, the Cardinals or whatever else was on his mind on that particular day. The people that knew Billy, myself included, had a reverence for him and he had a tremendous life that impacted everyone who was associated with him, both on the professional and personal levels. I was truly blessed to have him as a friend."
Tom Smith: Was a coaching rival of Key's at Central Missouri from 1975-80. He is the winningest coach in MIAA history with 535 wins as a league member and 618 career victories. After leaving Central Missouri he coached at Valparaiso and later spent 25 years back in the MIAA as coach of Missouri Western: "When I first started coaching, Billy had one of his great teams. The thing I remember the most my first couple of years at Central Missouri is Billy telling me that to have a really good team you've got to have good players. Now, at the time I was a little offended by that; I was a young guy who thought I could out-coach all this older guys. But as I matured...two or three years later, I realized Coach Key was right. It doesn't matter how good a coach you think you are, you've got to have the players. That stayed with me the rest of my career. I have such great respect for Billy. He's one of the persons responsible for getting the MIAA to the level of athletic greatness that it is now at."

For Global Climate Change count me in as one of the people who is skeptical that the sky is falling because of human activty. Nobody denies the need for sensible environmental policy, but the tone is often too alarmist and is just meant to frighten people and to squelch opposition. The Earth has changed, is changing and will change regardless of human activity. The simple fact that there were ice ages points to this fact. North Africa used to be a paradise, but the deserts expanded. All this long before humans were remotely near large scale industrialization.
Pollution is one thing, I am concerned oceans and estuaries and all that. People fearmongering over the climate just tick me off. It is doing more damage to sensible ecological / economic policy because it is creating a political backlash. It muddies the water. Attention that should be placed on specific points gets lost in the huff that the planet is going to explode because I don't want to buy compact florescant light bulbs.
Mt. Pinatubo is a good point, but more than that The Sun itself is the final arbiter of weather conditions on Earth and it has cycles unto itself. There is a strong possibility that the Sun is about to enter a certain period of very low activity (I forget the name, but it happens every few centuries). If it is actually happening then the Earth will see lowering of temperatures for a period of time.
Here's the article I found detailing the Dalton Minimum:
Changes in the Suns Surface to Bring Next Climate Change
spaceandscience.net | Jan 13, 2008
Today, the Space and Science Research Center, (SSRC) in Orlando, Florida announces that it has confirmed the recent web announcement of NASA solar physicists that there are substantial changes occurring in the suns surface. The SSRC has further researched these changes and has concluded they will bring about the next climate change to one of a long lasting cold era.
Today, Director of the SSRC, John Casey has reaffirmed earlier research he led that independently discovered the suns changes are the result of a family of cycles that bring about climate shifts from cold climate to warm and back again.
We today confirm the recent announcement by NASA that there are historic and important changes taking place on the suns surface. This will have only one outcome - a new climate change is coming that will bring an extended period of deep cold to the planet. This is not however a unique event for the planet although it is critically important news to this and the next generations. It is but the normal sequence of alternating climate changes that has been going on for thousands of years. Further according to our research, this series of solar cycles are so predictable that they can be used to roughly forecast the next series of climate changes many decades in advance. I have verified the accuracy of these cycles behavior over the last 1,100 years relative to temperatures on Earth, to well over 90%.
As to what these changes are Casey says, The suns surface flows have slowed dramatically as NASA has indicated. This process of surface movement, what NASA calls the conveyor belt essentially sweeps up old sunspots and deposits new ones. NASAs studies have found that when the surface movement slows down, sunspot counts drop significantly. All records of sunspot counts and other proxies of solar activity going back 6,000 years clearly validates our own findings that when we have sunspot counts lower then 50 it means only one thing - an intense cold climate, globally. NASA says the solar cycle 25, the one after the next that starts this spring will be at 50 or lower. The general opinion of the SSRC scientists is that it could begin even sooner within 3 years with the next solar cycle 24. What we are saying today is that my own research and that of the other scientists at the SSRC verifies that NASA is right about one thing a solar cycle of 50 or lower is headed our way. With this next solar minimum predicted by NASA, what I call a solar hibernation, the SSRC forecasts a much colder Earth just as it has transpired before for thousands of years. If NASA is the more accurate on the schedule, then we may see even warmer temperatures before the bottom falls out. If the SSRC and other scientists around the world are correct then we have only a few years to prepare before 20-30 years of lasting and possibly dangerous cold arrive.
When asked about what this will mean to the average person on the street, Casey was firm. The last time this particular cycle regenerated was over 200 years ago. I call it the Bi-Centennial Cycle solar cycle. It took place between 1793 and 1830, the so-called Dalton Minimum, a period of extreme cold that resulted in what historian John D. Post called the last great subsistence crisis. With that cold came massive crops losses, food riots, famine and disease. I believe this next climate change will be much stronger and has the potential to once more cause widespread crop losses globally with the resultant ill effects. The key difference for this next Bi-Centennial Cycles impact versus the last is that we will have over 8 billion mouths to feed in the next coldest years where as we had only 1 billion the last time. Among other effects like social and economic disruption, we are facing the real prospect of the perfect storm of global food shortages in the next climate change. In answer to the question, everyone on the street will be affected.
Given the importance of the next climate change Casey was asked whether the government has been notified. Yes, as soon as my research revealed these solar cycles and the prediction of the coming cold era with the next climate change, I notified all the key offices in the Bush administration including both parties in the Senate and House science committees as well as most of the nations media outlets. Unfortunately, because of the intensity of coverage of the UN IPCC and man made global warming during 2007, the full story about climate change is very slow in getting told. These changes in the sun have begun. They are unstoppable. With the word finally starting to get out about the next climate change, hopefully we will have time to prepare. Right now, the newly organized SSRC is the leading independent research center in the US and possibly worldwide, that is focused on the next climate change. Some of the worlds brightest scientists, also experts in solar physics and the next climate change have joined with me. In the meantime we will do our best to spread the word along with NASA and others who can see what is about to take place for the Earths climate. Soon, I believe this will be recognized as the most important climate story of this century.

Jim Sinegal DNC speech (text, video)
As prepared for delivery:
Good evening, everyone. I'm Jim Sinegal, and I'm here tonight to share my story. I was born in Pittsburgh, where my father worked the steel mills. I graduated from a public high school, attended a community college and a state university. My first job was at a retail warehouse. And then, three decades ago, a friend and I had a big idea for a small business: a wholesale store that would provide our members with great products at low prices while treating our employees fairly. Today, our small company has been blessed with success—in bulk. Costco is the fifth-largest retailer in the U.S., the seventh-largest in the world.

In Tampa last week, we heard all about job creators. But at our company, we recognize that job creation requires time and investment and commitment to the long term. It requires companies that plant and grow, not executives who reap and run. That's how we do our part to build an economy that lasts. At Costco, we've created over 116,000 American jobs. During the next 12 months, we expect to add 7,000 more. And we're proud that Costco pays the highest wages among our peers, that we provide benefit and health care plans that are second to none, that we've grown our business by promoting from within. So we're not just giving Costco people jobs, we're empowering them to build careers and support middle-class families.
At Costco, we know a thing or two about what it takes for businesses to succeed, for a company to do well by its shareholders and to do right by its employees at the same time. We don't want one set of rules for ourselves and another for our employees. We remember what it was like to be employees. And that's why we want to be part of an economy built to last. Some of my friends in corporate America say that all they need is a government that gets off the backs of businesses, and that's why many of them are supporting the opposition, with donations of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But I think they get it all wrong. Business needs a president who has covered businesses' backs. A president who understands what the private sector needs to succeed. A president who takes the long view and makes the tough decisions. And that's why I am here tonight supporting President Obama, a president making an economy built to last. See, in order for companies like Costco to invest, grow, hire and flourish, the conditions have to be right. That requires something from all of us.
And if you ask the innovative growth companies across the country, they'll tell you exactly what that something is. They'll tell you America needs to be a nation with the best education system so workers can get the training they need to join or stay in the middle class. America needs to be a nation that spurs research and innovation so our products and industries of tomorrow are invented right here at home. America needs to be a nation with affordable energy of all kinds so companies can keep their costs down, their production lines humming and their products moving. America needs to be a nation with the safest, most efficient transportation systems so people and goods can connect with opportunities and markets. America needs to be a nation that pays down its debt in a balanced way so businesses have a predictable environment in which to plan, invest, hire and trade. America needs to be a nation with sensible immigration laws, laws that are humane and practical, laws that help businesses retain qualified emp
loyees who, today, are forced to leave our country after completing their education. And America needs to be a nation where everyone follows the same rules of the road so that small businesses can compete with the big, so that small businesses can become big, so that breakthrough ideas and hard work are rewarded more than speculation, so that more start-ups succeed and fewer bubbles burst. These are the investments that businesses want. These are the building blocks of President Obama's plan for the future. And that's why I'm proud to stand with him.
Three decades ago, my business partner and I started a company. We sacrificed. We struggled. We risked our own money. We relied on ourselves. Our initiative, our enterprise—this, in part, is why our company succeeded. But here's the thing about the Costco story: we did not build our company in a vacuum, we built it in the greatest country on earth. We built our company in a place where anyone can make it with hard work, a little luck and a little help from their neighbors and their country. I'm here tonight because Costco's story is the American story. Because it's a story that President Obama is helping millions of dreamers and doers to write anew for themselves. And I'm here tonight because I believe he deserves four more years to help us write the next chapter. Thank you all very much.

VERSAILLES, Ind. (AP) — Three teenagers who had left a school function early were killed Thursday when their pickup trucks collided at a rural intersection in southeastern Indiana, police and school officials said.
The two-vehicle crash involved six students from South Ripley High School in the small town of Versailles, about 45 miles west of Cincinnati. The students had the day off of school to attend a Future Farmers of America event at a rural church, but they left the daylong event around 9:30 a.m. after serving breakfast to local agriculture officials, Superintendent Rob Moorhead said.
Police believe both drivers ran a four-way stop and their trucks collided at a right angle, with the larger dual-wheel Dodge truck hitting the smaller Ford F-250 broadside. Three of the teenagers died at the scene, and the others were taken to local hospitals, Indiana State Police Sgt. Noel Houze said.
Those killed were identified as the driver of the Ford F-250, 17-year-old Timothy Bowman of Osgood, and his passenger, 18-year-old Jacob Vogel of Versailles. A passenger in the other pickup, 18-year-old Samantha Hanson of Holton, also was killed.
Investigators don't know why the teenagers left the event early. The conditions of the three students who survived weren't immediately released.
Moorhead said officials at the high school, which has about 370 students, called students into the gym to tell them about the crash. Teachers also were briefed.
"It's completely devastating to the people at the school," Moorhead said.
The fatal crash was the latest in handful of recent tragedies in Versailles, a town of about of 2,000 people. In the last year and a half, an 18-year-old girl died after crashing her car while texting, a 15-year-old girl was killed while riding an all-terrain vehicle, and a popular teacher died in a plane crash. A 71-year-old man who was injured when a tornado hit the area last year recently died from injuries he sustained in the storm.
"There has just been so much tragedy here," said Holton resident Lori McNeelan, one of dozens of people who packed a restaurant where Hanson had worked for an impromptu vigil.
A makeshift memorial set up on a counter at one end of the restaurant featured a photo of Hanson with about 100 tea lights clustered around it. Teenagers and parents embraced as they reflected on the victims.
Kayla Little, 17, said Hanson "always had a smile on her face."
"There was never a day that went by that you couldn't just go up to her and talk to her about anything," she said, choking up.
"This community will pull together like it always does," said Holly Leach, 35, of Versailles.
Associated Press writer Charles Wilson in Indianapolis contributed to this story.


text: Student Profiles Andrew DeBenedictis '08 Andrew DeBenedictis '08 Major: Physics; Minor: Spanish Hometown: Wakefield, Mass. Why did you choose to come to Bowdoin? In looking for schools, I was fairly certain that I wanted to do something in the sciences, but I wanted to be able to continue with classes in the humanities as well. Also, I really wanted a smaller school so that I would not end up in huge classes with teachers that would not even recognize me, so I kept my college search limited to small liberal arts schools that were out of state, but close to home. I had a great visiting experience at Bowdoin, especially because I was able to get my older brother's friends to take me around the campus. Honestly, the main reason I ultimately came to Bowdoin was the food. I know it sounds a bit ridiculous but, to me, eating is absolutely crucial. A great meal will put me in a good mood and a bad one will just bring me down; and so I often find myself planning my days around my eating schedule. Silly for sure, but true. Why did you choose your major? It was actually my senior year AP calculus teacher who got me thinking about physics. He was the sort of person to whom you really listen when he says something, so I seriously considered it when he said that I seemed like a good fit for a physics major. I had always enjoyed the physics classes I took in high school and I loved the idea of knowing how and why things work. I still wasn't sure about it at all when I got to Bowdoin, but I signed up for Intermediate Physics my freshman fall to try things out. The class was a little intimidating at first, but Prof. Steve Naculich would always get so excited about the class material and loved to explain all these neat natural phenomena using what we were learning. Basically, the class was just fantastic and got me really excited, so each class I was surer of my major. The day we learned why the sky is blue just sealed the deal. What has been a course you especially enjoyed at Bowdoin? In the spring of my freshman year, I took Introduction to Architectural Design, which was just amazing. I had always really enjoyed the idea of architecture, especially because of its blend of art and science, but I had never had any chance to dabble in it until Bowdoin, so I decided to try it out. The class is always in high demand, but I was lucky enough to get in; it turned out to be spectacular. It was a decent time commitment, but the work was so interesting and fun that it was never stressful. I am not about to run off into a career as an architect or anything, but it serves as a perfect example of something that I am thrilled to have taken advantage of because I may not have another opportunity to do so. What professor or professors have especially inspired you during your time at Bowdoin? Coming to Bowdoin, one of the only things I was sure of was that I didn't want anything to do with history or foreign language classes. Now I am a Spanish minor. Clearly, something happened. Sophomore year, I realized that I wanted an entirely different experience from American life — different language and all — so I was forced to return to Spanish, the only foreign language in which I had any background. In high school, I had taken a couple years of Spanish, but found the classes to be just utterly disenchanting; not even the teacher would be excited about the subject, and so the entire class was a wash. Still, I really loved the idea of being able to go to Spain, and so I decided to give it a shot. I had Genie Wheelwright as a teacher for Introductory Spanish and I immediately regretted not having taken a class in the department sooner. The class was engaging, fun, and, as a reflection of her excitement for the language, everyone there was excited and involved. She even made sure to assess each member of the class in oral examinations a couple times throughout the semester. Even these were more pleasure than pain — I remember during the first one I ever had, my partner and I were forced to come up with an on-the-fly retelling of the three little pigs! At the end of the semester, she had us work in groups to put together plays for the rest of the class (we masterminded a brilliant rendition of the Alamo). Since then, she has become my go-to for all things Spanish and even though I don't have her for class anymore, I still stop by her office every once in a while just to charlar. Have you engaged in any independent research while at Bowdoin? Just this semester, I am beginning work on an honors project with Professor Naculich in the physics department. I cannot really explain too much about things right now because I am still working on understanding the material myself, but I will be investigating the relation between two different fields of string theory, known as string theory type IIA and M-theory. What extracurricular or work experiences have you had at Bowdoin? I feel like this is one thing that I have done pretty well at taking advantage of here. A group of friends and I started a soccer team for the fall intramural season freshman/sophomore year, and we just kept together and ran pretty much the whole gamut of IM sports: outdoor soccer, indoor soccer, softball, dodgeball, and both 3v3 and 5v5 basketball. It's a great way to stay active through the seasons and it gives you the chance to play a whole bunch of different games at varying skill levels. Also, freshman year, my friend Dylan Masters and I started an IM badminton group, which has grown tremendously and still continues stronger than ever. We meet twice a week throughout all seasons. This, especially, exemplifies a great intramural program, wherein if you've got a good idea to start something, the residential life office will back you entirely and help you to get it off the ground. Knowing a couple kids on the team, I also played club volleyball freshman year and part of sophomore year. I had to stop because I just didn't have the time for it, but I was really glad I had the chance. I had never played serious volleyball before then, so it gave me a chance to learn something new and meet some great people. Finally, last year, my friend Ryan convinced me to join the JV soccer team here, and it is one of the best things I have done. It is a great opportunity to play with good players on a more regular basis, and again, just a great way to meet a whole new crowd of people. Musically, I knew I needed to get involved to keep me sane, so I went out and joined a jazz combo freshman year (I am a drummer) which, again, is a nice casual way to keep playing without being engulfed in something highly time-consuming. This seems like it shouldn't be to hard for a school to organize, but I have heard enough stories of other larger schools, where it is effectively impossible for a non-music major to get in on any performing groups, to know that I am lucky. Now I am playing in a student-run weekly jazz jam session, where anyone who wants to play can just stop by at their leisure and rock out for a bit with us. Finally, for work, I help correct homework assignments for the physics department. It is nice in that I can work on my own time schedule, and it helps me refresh my memory on classes that I've taken in previous semesters. Did you study abroad during your time at Bowdoin? I spent last spring in Granada, Spain, and it was easily one of the best experiences of my life. It was a complete change of pace from Bowdoin and from the United States, and I had a chance to really get involved in the lifestyle of another culture. I stayed with a family, hung out with Spanish friends, and just lived entirely on their schedule. Obviously, I could go on for hours explaining all that I learned there and how thoroughly worthwhile it all was, but you really have to experience it to understand. Additionally, being a physics major, I was able to get completely away from science for a while (although Granada does have an awesome Parque de las Ciencias) and focus on something entirely different to help me take a step back and regroup before plunging into senior year. What have you done during your summers? The summer after my freshman year, my friends and I bought a school bus. We had dreamt of this since high school, but I never really thought it would happen until I got a phone call from a friend during finals explaining that they had just bought one. So, we spent that entire summer working in my friend Glen's backyard, ripping out the inside and turning the bus into an RV, which we then used to road trip across the country for three weeks in August. The whole process of the conversion and the trip itself is an experience that I am most proud of. The following summer, I worked as a one-on-one math tutor for a girl that needed to pass the MCAS (one of standardized testing's more hideous faces) in order to graduate, and then my friends and I took the bus out for another spin around the country just before heading back to school. This past summer, I ended up doing research at Michigan State University as a part of the REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) program, which I applied to while in Spain. While over there, a group of nineteen other physics students and I were each paired with a professor at the university to help with some aspect of his/her research. I chose to work on a fascinating solar panel project that aimed to create a device model for thin-film polymer solar cells. We hoped to gain a thorough understanding of these cells so that we could find ways to make them more efficient. It was really interesting work, and it was nice just to see how a large, research-oriented physics department operates. What is your best Bowdoin memory? Freshman year, my roommate Phil and I went downtown to help one of our hall-mates gather up some big boxes from the appliance store on Maine Street for a campout on the Quad. The two of us carried this one huge refrigerator box all the way back to campus, but as we crossed the Quad on our way to Hyde Hall, we saw our proctor walking across in the other direction. Just as we spotted her, she saw us as well and gave a friendly wave, and then something magical happened. Without even a pico-second of hesitation or a word of communication, we were off and running, chasing our poor proctor as fast as we could across the Quad. Her smile faded into shock as she realized the situation in which she found herself and she took off too, bolting away from the large corrugated box, her potential prison, just feet behind her. We chased and chased across a large portion of the Quad, gaining inch by inch as she frantically tried to explain that she had a meeting to get to. In the end, the box slipped from our hands and she got away, but to this day, I still laugh every time I think of it, just hoping that someone, bored in class or in his/her dorm, happened to glance out the window just in time to see the proctor of first floor Hyde fleeing desperately from a refrigerator box, guided by two freshmen, as the three of us sprinted across the Quad. Granted, it's completely impossible choose just one best memory, but I feel like most of my favorite memories here have been the outcome of something of this general form, wherein a silly, spur-of-the-moment idea is suddenly taken further than one might normally, just because it seems like a good idea at the time. Impromptu snowball fights, good-natured proctor harassment, fantastic Halloween adventures, and friendly kidnappings are just a few of the possible results. What are your plans for after graduation? At the moment, this is still one of the most daunting questions for me. At some point, I plan to go to graduate school to study physics, but I am not ready to jump into that quite yet. I feel like graduate school is a good way to catapult yourself into a career, and I simply don't know enough about what I want to do to be able to set out along that path just yet. Instead, I will take some time off from school and hopefully have the chance to explore the world and some other opportunities that may be out there while I am able to do so. It is something that results in a bit of stress, but I just have to keep reminding myself that nothing is concrete and that no matter what I do I will be able to find something I enjoy. What advice would you give to a prospective student or first-year about the Bowdoin experience? Don't get too committed to one thing right away. Being here suddenly presents you with a whole world of new opportunities, and you should really take full advantage of the incredible range of activities going on across campus. I don't mean that you shouldn't get highly involved in what you enjoy, but if you get too thoroughly ingrained in something right away, you will find yourself too occupied to try something new. And odds are you won't have many more chances to get out and explore new activities. Just fearlessly be your delightful self and you will find that people will appreciate you for this and will in turn open up more themselves. What quirky or fun thing did you wish you knew before you came to Bowdoin? Honestly, I kind of wish that I had known about Super Snack [late-night dining]. I mean, I seriously doubt that I would have been able to fully appreciate the concept as a prospective student, but even without knowing the real experience, the idea is pretty amazing, and definitely a good thing to know. I don't even think it is some sort of secret to the prospective students, but somehow I managed to lack any knowledge of its existence up until the first or second week of school. But then again, it was a fantastic surprise to suddenly discover... Story posted on September 24, 2007 « Back | More Student Profiles | Go to News Home

Clint Barmes went 2 for 2 with a two-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Atlanta Braves 9-2 on Sunday.
Non-roster invitee Brad Hawpe added a two-run single for the Pirates. James McDonald, trying to bounce back from a dreadful second half of the 2012 season, pitched two scoreless innings for Pittsburgh.
Jason Heyward hit a solo home run for the Braves. Julio Teheran struck out two in two innings but Atlanta fell to 0-3 in Grapefruit League play after the Pirates had their way with the Braves' relievers.
Barmes is trying to bounce back from a miserable season at the plate in which he hit just .229 and struggled at the bottom of Pittsburgh's lineup. He singled in his first at-bat and then lined a shot into the left-field stands off Jonny Venters.

We all know that sophomore records can be tricky. Especially for young bands who've tasted even a little bit of success, expectations grow quickly and often the results don't match. For the San Diego based band Delta Spirit, their new record History From Below bucks that trend and responds with an intensely intimate, powerful batch of songs.
Delta Spirit's Ode To Sunshine has more in common with like rock traditionalists such as The Hold Steady than your typical "we-heard-it-first-'cause-we're-cool" shooting star band that the almighty music blogosphere seems to love then leave with alarming frequency these days. There's something timeless and soulful happening here, something with some staying power.
Formed in San Diego in 2005, Delta Spirit have been
gaining recognition for their impressive blend of soul,
folk, blues, and Americana. This five-piece unit has
also been praised for their unconventional choice in
instruments, such as trashcans and orchestral bass
drums, coupled with their spiritually-themed lyrics
courtesy of vocalist Matt Vasquez.
Like a true rock and roll fable, Delta Spirit formed when singer/songwriter Matt Vasquez was discovered by his bandmates busking at a San Diego light-rail station late into the night. Apparently they liked what they heard, because after exchanging contact information, Delta Spirit was quickly formed. Now, five years later, Delta Spirit has just released their second album, 2010's "History From Below," and have toured with the likes of Dr. Dog, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Cold War Kids. Perhaps the greatest testament of all to their budding mainstream appeal, the band has gone on to play on the show Late Night with (then-host) Conan O'Brian and Last Call with Carson Daly.
On their follow up to 2008's "Ode to Sunshine" Delta Spirit continue to craft their unique brand of barroom rock and roll, complete with soulful singing, jingling pianos, thumping drums, and rough acoustic guitars. Yet, probably what stands out above all on "History From Below" is the expressive, affecting songwriting the band displays. Vasquez shows a keen ability to draw out the emotion in a song, and draw the listener into his band's frantic, moving world. Brimming with whiskey-soaked enthusiasm and inspired wordplay, Delta Spirit have created one of the most poignant, memorable albums in some time.

Recent Release: History From Below
Release Date: June 8, 2010
Label: Rounder Records
Origin: San Diego, California
The sunny indie pop-folk duo between actress/singer Zooey Deschanel and popular guitarist/songwriter M.Ward seemed like an
unlikely pairing at first, but after the duo met on a film set to record a Richard and Linda Thompson cover, they instantly
bonded through music. Prior to the start of She & Him, Deschanel had been working on various demo recordings but was too shy to
step into the spotlight. But upon hearing her work, M.Ward decided to play guitar and focus on production while Deschanel
turned to the piano, banjo and vocals. The result was their debut album "Volume One" (2008), a shimmering '60s inspired
classic folk album that was as humble as their name. Immediately following the album's release, they began touring at
various festivals around the country including Noise Pop and SXSW. As their sound graced more and more crowds, the duo
found their introspective and bright tunes making their way to the top of the charts. Volume One was named Paste's Album of
the Year.
Realizing the success of their work as well as their undeniable musical chemistry, the two went back to the studio to record and produce another batch of uplifting songs. With help from engineer, bassist and vocalist Mike Coykendall, the duo's sophomore album "Volume Two" was released to an enthusiastic and ever-growing fan base. The album still captures that dreamy, bright and hopeful energy of their first, but with its richer harmonies and lushly layered arrangments, "Volume Two" is more emotional and confident than what they've done before.

For Patrick Carroll, serving as the executive director of the Delaware Humane Association (DHA) is akin to coming full circle since his days as an undergraduate student majoring in animal science in the University of Delaware's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR).
Carroll started out as a pre-veterinary student before deciding that it just wasn't for him and transitioned into a career more focused on 4-H and youth development. "I got a work study job with New Castle County 4-H and I kind of fell in love with 4-H and youth development and education, so I wanted to be a 4-H agent," he said.
Carroll worked with Mark Manno, a Cooperative Extension specialist who he said "really helped me a lot — just gave me great experiences and mentored me, and I really owe my love for 4-H to him."
Carroll noted how ironic it is that even though he spent a lot of time working with non-profit organizations and youth development, he still ended up doing what he initially went to college for — working with animals.
Of CANR in general, Carroll said that even though he didn't end up becoming a vet, he felt that the college helped prepare him by giving him a combination of hands-on experience — working with animals ranging from cows to chickens — and a great classroom atmosphere.
"The thing I love most about CANR is that UD is a big university, so you have the big university feel, but then on the other hand, being in CANR was a more tight-knit and closer community. So I really do think that it's the best of both worlds. I really enjoyed the faculty and the other students. I had a great experience."
After UD
After graduating from UD, Carroll went to Penn State where he received a master's degree in extension education. After a four-year stint in Ohio working with 4-H, Carroll decided to move back East and after working at a few different jobs he was informed about an opening for a development director at the Delaware Humane Association.
"I came here as the development director first in 2006 and I was the development director for four years," said Carroll. "Then our executive director left and I became the acting director and applied to be the executive director, and so I've been the executive director for three years."
As the executive director, Carroll said that his biggest duties include strategy and fundraising, especially now as DHA prepares to build a new facility. After looking for a new home, DHA decided that the best thing to do was stay where they were and upgrade.
Having raised enough money to do so, the organization plans to break ground on the new facility in the spring, which according to Carroll will be the first new animal shelter built in northern Delaware in a long time.
There are other aspects to Carroll's job, as well. "We have about 30 employees so there's a lot of facets — there's a veterinary facet, there's a facility, there's fundraising, there's animal care," said Carroll.
As a no kill shelter, something that Carroll said is becoming more common in Delaware, a state which has a strong no-kill movement, DHA can house up to 40 dogs and 100 cats.
Carroll said that they do not like to exceed this number for health reasons. "We're not huge — some of the other shelters are much bigger than us or they have more animals than they can really house — but we try to be very responsible about housing a number that we can manage for health reasons. If we had more animals than we really should, sickness tends to increase."
By being a no-kill organization, however, Carroll said that medical costs are high. "That's a big cost of ours. We're all about adoption, moving animals forward; we're not a sanctuary, we don't want anyone to stay here for a long period of time and the first goal of our mission is to be a temporary shelter."
As for his favorite part about the job, Carroll said there are many, but he especially loves getting to see all of the new dogs when they first arrive.
"We get dogs in two main ways. We have owner surrenders, which is when someone has to give up a dog for various reasons and we take them in. And the other way is we transfer them from other shelters, mainly from the Kent County SPCA," explained Carroll.
"We usually bring about 7-8 dogs at a time, and so one of my favorite things is when they get back and we open the van doors and you see all these faces of new dogs. It's just nice to see them get into our doors and we take good care of them and find them a good home."
Carroll also said that he enjoys connecting people with a pet and creating a life-long connection that way.
"It isn't even really in my 'official' job description but my favorite part is really linking people to pets. I spend a lot of time with people who are looking for a cat or a dog or they're referred to me or are my friends or family or people I went to high school with or college or whatever. It has major dividends because it connects people to the organization, and if they have a great experience and they love this dog or this cat they adopted they end up being a supporter and coming to our events and they get it because they've experienced it firsthand," said Carroll.

Post subject: Another Venture To Hell Mans
This game was played on March 13, 2009. I wrote this in less then 15 minutes so I'm guessing there's typos and mistakes but it's something.
Another Venture To Hell Mans
It was about that time again. The time when I meet up with Zomb and Lucky and we decide to defeat anything within the dungeon known as Hellmans Keep. We are all confident that well find something worth our time eventually but Ill spoil the surprise now and tell you that this was not that time.
We had heard word through the grapevine that Urza and Lytle were up to another adventure so we decided wed pick them up at Pleasantville and go on our way, with 5 strong men. It was at the last minute that our group thought of bringing some of the younger guild members along to give them some experience outside of Givemea. So it was settled. Along with Lucky, Zomb, and I was another cleric and fighter. I had met both before but a man in such high esteem such as myself cant be expected to remember their names so Ill just refer to them as young cleric and young fighter. We would of course pick Oswald up in Pleasantville since he was there watching our other guild hall.
I actually dont remember much about the trip to Pleasantville at all; it feels like it just happened instantly. Im sure nothing of importance went on.
Once there we picked up the others and as a group of 8 continued towards Minta. This is one of the largest groups Ive ever gone adventuring with and I was a little bit nervous about how things would turn out. I wasnt scared at all of losing in battle, no of course not, but more of splitting up the treasure so many times. Ah, time would only tell.
We all voted to have Lucky be the group leader as to avoid confusion. This was largely because of my influence. I have trusted Lucky many times in the past to lead me well and would do so again this time.
The trip into Minta wasnt very exciting at all, like usual. We bribed the border guards to get through, which is ridiculous in a time of peace. How do non-adventurers travel the lands to do trade and afford such high tolls? That aside we made it into Minta. We largely skipped any Mintan civilization to avoid conflict and went straight towards Hellmans. When we got near we had to cross a river that usually we have no problems with but this time caused some trouble. Lytle, someone who I respect rightfully, made a bold claim that to cross this river we should use my groups magical boat. I explained this seemed reasonable but an even easier method that we constantly use is to fly across on our broom of flying while most of the group stays inside our portable hole. Lytle argued his point for minutes, wasting time, even though Lucky and I had far more experience in Hellmnans than he. During the argument a group of minatuars attacked.
We had no trouble dispatching of the foul beasts and soon they were all dead. We crossed the river (by broom) and saw the keep. In front of the doors was a group of 50 or so lizardmen. We had already wasted much time so the group agreed to let me cast a fireball. Lucky flew me above the group, I let my spell go, and a huge explosion occurred.
Fireball in your face! I screamed. Over 30 of them were killed and the rest ran in fear of my awesome might. Now into the dungeon. I will say we explored many, many, rooms but most were of no consequence or use so Ill include only what I deemed pertinent. The first room of interest had a pipe in the wall. While investigating I was telling a story to the young cleric which included a naughty word you might say. Perhaps it was the gods punishing me, perhaps the trap was voice activated, or perhaps I was merely unlucky, but at that moment the room began to flood with water. No problem, once again my magic saved us by shrinking the stone door that had dropped in front of our exit. The only major problem was that now water was slowly leaking all over the dungeon.
Another room we went into had an iron chest inside of it. It was almost 4 feet wide and 2 feet tall making it a rather large chest indeed. We were of course suspicious of traps and poison so Lucky gave me his unicorn horn and I wore my ring protecting me from inhaled gases and poisons and opened the chest. I had to use a spell to remove the lock but all that was inside was a glowing pebble and some gems.
The last room I remember that was beneficial had three weapons stuck into the floor. Zomb decided to be brave and bold and removed the sword from the floor. It took most of his strength but once out it became magical. We tried removing the other two weapons, a staff and mace, but they remained normal.
We continued downstairs and explored more and more rooms, some that we had never been in before without much luck in finding anything new. Finally when we were getting exhausted we went to a room we knew before had gargoyles in it. We killed those gargoyles, took their treasure, and left.
In all we gained a few thousand gold and a couple minor magical items. We made more potions of invulnerability as well. This may seem a boring story compared to many Ive told in the past, and thats because in many regards it is. But I will continue going into Hellmans until we conquer it, we just need more time! The gods and their cosmic clocks always work against us but I shall never give up.

CVS Tags: ad-audiomp-base, ad-audiomp
Changes since 1.242: +10 -10 lines
Diff to previous 1.242 (colored)
KNF: de-__P, bzero -> memset, bcmp -> memcmp. Remove extraneous parentheses in return statements. Cosmetic: don't open-code TAILQ_FOREACH(). Cosmetic: change types of variables to avoid oodles of casts: in in6_src.c, avoid casts by changing several route_in6 pointers to struct route pointers. Remove unnecessary casts to caddr_t elsewhere. Pave the way for eliminating address family-specific route caches: soon, struct route will not embed a sockaddr, but it will hold a reference to an external sockaddr, instead. We will set the destination sockaddr using rtcache_setdst(). (I created a stub for it, but it isn't used anywhere, yet.) rtcache_free() will free the sockaddr. I have extracted from rtcache_free() a helper subroutine, rtcache_clear(). rtcache_clear() will "forget" a cached route, but it will not forget the destination by releasing the sockaddr. I use rtcache_clear() instead of rtcache_free() in rtcache_update(), because rtcache_update() is not supposed to forget the destination. Constify: 1 Introduce const accessor for route->ro_dst, rtcache_getdst(). 2 Constify the 'dst' argument to ifnet->if_output(). This led me to constify a lot of code called by output routines. 3 Constify the sockaddr argument to protosw->pr_ctlinput. This led me to constify a lot of code called by ctlinput routines. 4 Introduce const macros for converting from a generic sockaddr to family-specific sockaddrs, e.g., sockaddr_in: satocsin6, satocsin, et cetera.

Fees for advising on mergers, share listings and bond issues have fallen again in 2012, forcing investment banks to cut jobs and start overhauling business models they had stuck by in times of crisis over the past decade.
Economic woes, particularly in the euro zone, have hurt dealmaking and dragged worldwide investment banking income down 7 percent to $69.4 billion so far this year, data from Thomson Reuters and Freeman Consulting showed.
Continue Reading Below
In Europe, fees were at a 10-year low as volatile markets forced many companies to put off plans to list or make acquisitions, and the prolonged slowdown is pushing even top advisers to restructure teams and cut back.
Some are even contemplating more drastic options.
"The key question is not only about one specific team, but banks are really wondering which investment banking activities they should keep or if they should continue to have investment banking at all," said Christopher Kummer, from the Institute of Mergers, Acquisitions and Alliances, a think tank.
Weaker revenue in other areas, such as stock and bond trading, is also putting pressure on banks to pick and choose which divisions they should stick with as tougher regulations on capital make it harder to offer everything.
Some banks, such as British group Royal Bank of Scotland , have already chosen to practically abandon equities trading, while Swiss lender UBS is ditching the bulk of its bond trading business.
Pure advisory units, which earn fees from devising deal strategies rather than commissions from trades, have so far been spared the worst cuts, as they do not use much capital.
But they are still costly to run, especially as bankers in areas such as mergers and acquisitions, who often hold down relationships with clients, have traditionally commanded some of the biggest pay packages.
That is likely to change this year as bonuses fall. M&A fees - though still the biggest contributor to the total investment banking fee pot - have tumbled 16 percent so far this year.
Fees from equity capital markets, meanwhile, suffered the biggest drop - 18 percent - from an already weak 2011, as initial public offerings faltered.
As a result, banks are starting to reshape their corporate finance teams to make them more profitable by cutting out bankers who focus on clients in certain industries or countries, reversing efforts over the past decade to build up teams providing very specialized advice.
Many are grouping these sector teams together, or getting junior bankers to multi-task instead of specializing - a move that will likely continue in 2013 when dealmaking is not expected to pick up in a big way.
"We are trying to make some efficiency gains and it is hard," said a senior capital markets banker in London, who requested anonymity.
"You have somebody who covers banks in Germany because they are a German national and a German speaker and you would love for that person to cover French, Italian and Spanish banks."
The banker said those coverage issues were particularly tough to deal with in Europe, because of the sheer number of countries that banks try to service. But U.S. banks such as Citigroup have also been overhauling their so-called "coverage models".
U.S. banks dominated global investment banking fee rankings in 2012, the data showed, with JPMorgan retaining the top spot. In Europe, Deutsche Bank captured the most fees, while Goldman Sachs inched ahead of UBS in Asia as the top fee earner.
One bright spot for firms was a big rise in debt capital market (DCM) fees, up 28 percent as companies rushed to issue bonds in the second half when fears over euro zone debt levels calmed down.
Bankers said bond deals would be an important source of fees in 2013 as companies struggle to obtain loans, which also take up a lot more bank capital.
Societe Generale forecast in a recent report that activity levels in DCM would drop back a little, however, and said high volatility in the past four years, since the 2008 financial crisis, made it difficult to bet on trends continuing.
"Looking back and moving forward: that is usually quite a dangerous thing to do in a car, and not advisable in capital markets either," it said.

Gary married actress Teddi Siddall on March 8, 1992. They meet while making the TV series Midnight Caller, she was a writer for the show.
Gary Cole: (about being confused with Gary Coleman) We are often confused for one another ... I think it's the resemblance first of all, not necessarily the name. No, we've never met -- I've never even seen him from a distance. Which might lead you to believe ... we're never actually, you know ... have you ever seen us in the same location? No. I don't know what that says to people, but ... [Laughs] We go up for the same roles often, but it's a professional courtesy that we extend to each other.
Gary Cole: (about never having been a teenage heartthrob) Well, I'm afraid that ship has sailed now, hasn't it? [Laughs] I never really got in front of a camera until I was 30 years old. These guys have been working, plus it's so different now -- the amount of coverage and the media. It's just a different world. I like how I evolved.
Gary Cole: I'm a huge fan of sports movies. I know very little but I know a little bit more about rugby in the last 48 hours than – I came to it very late for whatever reason. That was just the nature of things. But I'm a sucker for sports movies.

Gary Cole: (about being active in charity causes for autism) The more you do it, you realize that the philosophy is that you show up, you do it, you do the best you can and then you walk away. Everything else is up to somebody else in terms of how they digest it, what they think of it, whether it's good or bad. You move on to the next experience. There's no point in 'What if-ing' everything. I've been around long enough to know that you just move on and if it works, that's great, that's gravy. If it doesn't? So what. The next thing will work.
Gary Cole: (about getting his role in "The Brady Bunch Movie") [Betty Thomas] went to bat for me at the studio, because I don't think the studio wanted me. It didn't make sense for the studio; I'm sure they were going through their list of stand-up comedians and other comic actors that had done those movies. And nobody wanted to do it. They'd keep passing on it. And the time was coming, they had to make it, and so I was slipped in.
Gary Cole: (about the movie Office Space) I knew the movie was actually some kind of success because people were coming up doing some lines from the movie.
Gary Cole: I am also a drummer of sorts. I've got an electronic set sitting in my bedroom.
Gary Cole: I miss everything about Chicago, except January and February.

Some thoughts on the quarterback situation:
* Sometime in the next month or so, word is going to filter out that the Birds have approached either Fletcher Smith, agent for Donovan McNabb, or Jeff Nalley, agent for Kevin Kolb, about a contract extension beyond 2010.
And that ought to tell us who's likely to be the starting quarterback.
Of course, they could approach both agents, see what comes back, make the decision from there.
* This is a long shot, but it's worth throwing out ...
What if, after doing due diligence, the Eagles discover Kolb is more attractive as a trade commodity than McNabb?
Would they then look to pick up the option on Michael Vick and go with a McNabb-Vick tandem, along with a 2010 QB draftee, next season?
Reasons why I think it won't happen: 1. I think they really, really like Kolb, and 2. I don't think they are that sure of McNabb as No. 1 for years to come, which you'd have to be, to trade Kolb.
But stranger things have indeed happened.
* Everybody else has weighed in on the awkward Donovan McNabb air-guitar routine in the tunnel before the game in Dallas, so why not me?
I just wish DMac would worry less about what he thinks he needs to project - looseness, confidence, whatever - and more about just being himself, being comfortable in his own skin. If he ever cleared that hurdle, he might really be the guy that could win the Super Bowl.
Try answering a question as Donovan McNabb, instead of as the guy who is ever mindful of the burden he carries as a prominent black quarterback and franchise icon, etc., etc.
Also, someone should tell him the "lovable goofball" bit was more appropriate at 23 than at 33.

How can I Update Sony Drivers?
Way to Update Drivers with Device Manager
QUESTION: So I have a Sony Vaio SVD1322BPXB and the usb ports are not working. Optical 3 button mouses cannot connect nor can my USB both of which work on other computers. I have absolutely no idea what the problem is.
Although, I looked into device manager and found USB root hub xhcl had an exclamation mark next to it. It says that it cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39). Once I try to update the driver for it it says the driver is up to date. Does this have anything to do with it?
I've also tried uninstalling all the usb extensions and rebooting. It did nothing (All the extensions came back even xhcl with the exclamation mark).
I really don't know what to do and any help will be appreciated.
ANSWER: Possibly the driver is corrupted or the USB devices are busted. Let's isolate the issue. Kindly follow these steps:
- Power cycle - Remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds OR, if the battery is not removable, remove all peripherals -> look for a battery off button on the bottom of the laptop -> push the button for 5 seconds
- Reset BIOS
