It's now been a few days since I have been out of work due to the government shutdown. I miss my job and hope that everything works out soon. Otherwise, I have no comment on the why's and the how's about things like this happening.
I've given my life to science – not like the fellow who kept me from going to dental school, but to work on future cool things in space. It really wasn't that fellow's fault. He was just there when I visited the dental school in college with other students who were interested in becoming dentists. They pulled back the sheet, there he was… and I no longer had the desire to be a dentist. I guess it would be more appropriate to say this fellow had given his body to science.
At work, I get to do math. I enjoy it. I miss it. I also miss my medical practice.
My medical practice?
Yes, my medical practice. It's been doing very well.
About a year ago, I had to change phone numbers at work. I kept getting these calls from people telling me not to call them anymore. They never believed me when I said I hadn't called them. They were yelling and screaming at me and saying some pretty rough things.
The best I could figure was that a collection company had either purposely or by mistake used my work phone number for what folks could see on their caller identification. They would call and leave folks who owed money threatening messages, and then the folks saw my number and called me back.
I asked for a new number. It solved the problem.
In the last few months, I have been getting a couple of calls a day for medical advice. It seems my new number was listed on a website for our clinic at work. For the first week, I told folks that there was a mistake and I would see about getting the clinic to put the correct number on the website.
Now please understand that what I'm about to tell you is true, but I let every person who called me my mistake off the hook pretty quickly and let them know that I was a mathematician, not a doctor or a nurse and any advice I was giving had a relative large probability of being useless.
People continued to call.
I answered the phone as I always do, "How can I help you?"
If the person asked, "Is this the clinic?" I said, "No, they have listed my phone number somewhere by mistake and I'm trying to get someone to figure it out."
Not all folks asked if they had the right number for the clinic, some went right into telling me their ailments.
What was I supposed to do?
I like helping people.
My Papa had all of the Foxfire books.
In addition to teaching you how to dress hogs, build log cabins, make cheese and hunt bears, the Foxfire books contained medical advice including how herbs and other things could be used to treat various pains and injuries.
I had watched my Papa spray Lysol on everything from dandruff to fleas; I even assisted him on occasion. Papa also thought that "soda waters" were medicinal and you should drink at least one per day. He was partial to Nehi, but admitted Coca-Cola actually was the most potent.
We weren't "Coke People," preferring an RC or a Double Cola to a Coke when we wanted something that wasn't orange, red or purple. But when things got dicey and you had to go for a sure cure – you pulled the cap off of a bottle of Coca-Cola. It was more of a medicine that it was a soda water.
The experience with my grandfather, as well as watching various movies and television shows, allows me to diagnose and treat a number of basic illnesses and other things that hinder people on the job.
"Do you have anything for an upset stomach that I could stop by and pick up?"
"You don't need to stop by, just go get a Coke out of the machine and drink it. Don't get a Pepsi; you have to drink a Coca-Cola. I've also heard that a rhubarb root worn on a string around your neck will also help.
Oh, by the way, this is not the clinic."
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"I'm having trouble with a tooth."
"Which side of your face is it on?"
"The right side. Why?"
"Well, you should take your shoe and sock off of your left foot and tie a string around the little toe on your left foot."
"Are you kidding?"
"No, I am not."
"Do you have any other advice?"
"Well yes, this is not the clinic and you should probably go to the dentist."
"What are you?" "I'm a mathematician who thumbed through my Papa's Foxfire books many years ago."
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"I feel a sore throat coming on and I wanted to see if I can stop by."
"You can stop by if you need to, but I'll tell you what you need to do."
"Well, I have heard that if you tie a dirty sock around your neck when you go to bed, it will cure a sore throat."
"You are kidding."
"No, I've really heard that. I'm from Alabama. I wish I could get you and this other fellow together who has a toothache."
"He probably has a dirty sock available."
"You know this is not the clinic."
"Do you really think the sock will work?"
"I've never tried it, but let me know if it does."
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"My allergies are acting up."
"Have you tried going to the doctor?"
"What are you?"
"I calculate the probability of things going wrong and give free medical and legal advice with no guarantee of results."
"Well, what would you do?"
"Have you tried Apple Cider Vinegar?"
"That sounds nasty."
"It is used to treat all sorts of things including sinus infections, warts, acne, gout, sunburn and arthritis."
"Does it work?"
"I really don't know, but it can be used as aftershave if it doesn't."
"Is this the clinic?"
"No, it is not."
"I have a rash and I want someone to look at it."
"Have you tried spraying Lysol on it?"
"No, why would I do that?"
"It might work."
"I'm not spraying Lysol there…"
"Stop – this is not the clinic. Try the Lysol at your own risk."
"Why did you tell me to use Lysol?"
"You said you had a rash. Now if you told me you had fleas or dandruff, I would have prescribed the same thing."
As you can see, I need to get back to work. The three to five minutes I spend during the course of the day providing medical advice is very important to a lot of folks. Ok, maybe a few folks and maybe it's not that important.
I will note I have had two repeat customers/patients. I'm not sure if they called back by mistake or if they value my opinion, it really doesn't matter.
I'm thinking about getting a new lab jacket that doesn't have paint on it.

Graham Readfearn | August 4, 2011
By Graham Readfearn • Thursday, August 4, 2011 - 11:20
THERE'S a new climate denial lobby group on the block - bravely regurgitating previously debunked pseudo-science and making wild unsubstantiated claims that climate scientists are all corrupt.
Not happy with misrepresenting the science on climate change, The Galileo Movement has also misappropriated the name of the father of modern science who was persecuted for his insistance that the Sun, rather than the Earth, was the centre of the universe.
The Galileo Movement, launched in Australia, has stated its prime mission is to stop the Government's current efforts to introduce a price on greenhouse gas emissions and boasts a list of advisors resembling a who's who of international climate change denial.
Included on the group's advisory panel are Professor Fred Singer, Patrick Michaels, Professor Bob Carter, Professor Ian Plimer, Joe D'Aleo, Professor Richard Lindzen and Lord Christopher Monckton.
Galileo has been getting plenty of air-time and online exposure thanks to its patron, popular conservative radio host Alan Jones, and News Ltd blogger Andrew Bolt, who is also listed as an "advisor".
Jones, a fierce and fearless host on 2GB who leads radio ratings with his breakfast slot in Sydney, has been on a relentless tirade in recent weeks attacking climate science and the federal government's plans to tax greenhouse gas emissions.
Since March, Jones has interviewed seven of the Galileo Movement's advisors and the project's coordinator. He's interviewed Professor Carter twice and Lord Monckton three times. Both are advisors at the US-based climate denial "think-tank" the Science and Public Policy Institute (SPPI).
He's also managed to squeeze in interviews with sceptics Lord Lawson, chairman of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, and Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus.
During one slot, Jones claimed on-air that "human beings produce 0.001 per cent of the carbon dioxide in the air", prompting an investigation by the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
Yet Jones is also an outspoken critic of the massive expansions to coal mining and coal seam gas development in rural and remote regions of Australia.
Galileo has also brought in the services of JacksonWells, a Sydney-based public relations firm with a client list that you might describe as diverse.
As well as providing PR advice to international brands including computer firm Dell, Warner Bros. Entertainment, British American Tobacco and Imperial Tobacco, JacksonWells also has The Church of Scientology and the closed religious group The Exclusive Brethren on its books.
JacksonWells also lobbies government officials on behalf of many of its clients. The firm appears on the federal government lobby register and similar registers in the states of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.
Picking up the Galileo PR work is the well-travelled JacksonWells director Bob Lawrence, who also provided media advice and support to organisers of climate change denier Lord Monckton's 2010 Australia-wide tour.
In an article last year in the JacksonWells company newsletter, The Well, Lawrence explained how he had helped to gain positive media coverage for Lord Monckton.
He wrote the firm had employees "who agree that climate change is a major global threat and we have our skeptics" but he added "the firm itself takes no corporate position on political issues".
A political issue?
Disagreeing would be the world's acidifying oceans, warming climate, changing atmospheric composition, melting Arctic and the vast majority of its working climate scientists.

They Stole My Idea! I'll sue!
Years ago at Stevie Mac's blog, I recommended that they do their own science and bypass the rigorous empirical-based science of the journals. I suggested they start their own journal entitled Galileo: The Journal of the NewScience and I offered to help them with graphics to kick it off.
Sadly, no one took me up on my offer, and now I see this NewDenialist group has stolen my idea! Grrrr! Who do I sue? Murdoch?

"And just watch them kick alarmist butt all over the place.

Well, it's funny you should say that Klem. Because one of your right wing mates I mention above, Alan Jones in a bit of cognitive dissonance has been speaking at anti coal seam gas rallies.
Jones, usually a fervent supporter of the mining industry & a patron of the galileo movement, finds himself on the same side as the greenies. How ironic.
Alan Jones quote : "A place where I grew up, being turned into a crater of the moon"
Ironic because he often talks about how useless it is to stop using fossil fuels & how much the greenies suck:
But also finds himself protesting against fossil fuels….ahaha. It's ironic, because Jones has finally left the luxury of his inner city living & studio, to venture out & see the destruction from the fossil fuel industry……..Hopefully soon, he will develop the ability to look beyond the localized issues & see the planetary issues….which also affect local issues.
In the mean time Klem, as for your mate Andrew Bolt , who's blog you like to frequent also. Gina Rhinehart ( Australia's richest miner & part owner of channel 10 tv station) is watching as her right wing TV mouthpiece program "Bolt", plummets in ratings.
Bolt is almost last on the ratings, lol.
Gina will be doing some sweet brown paper bag deals under the table to majority shareholders to keep that one afloat. Considering other shows that have far better ratings are axed in their 2nd week. Bolt's despite paltry ratings has managed to stay there a couple of months.
In the meantime, Gina will be hoping her carpet bombing of channel 10 with ads from her mates in the mining council will be penetrating the public psyche.
Con ads, to convince Australians of an alternative reality. Wonder if Gina will slip a paper bag under the table to Alan Jones to shut the hell up eh?

I like this one on climate shifts last year where you straight out admitted, that it didn't matter if denier science was wrong, you just had to win the voters minds.

That may be true. But what counts is perception. Perception is reality, and when the public preceves that he science is bad, that's all that matters. The public will determine policy based on preception so kiss AGW good bye baby! The skeptics have won. It's over, go home."

Hey yea you're right! I guess I did visit Bolts site. I did not know that was Bolts site (actually I still do not know who Bolt is), but you are correct I visited that guys site back in 2009. Cool.
You know, I did not think I was 'Klem' that far back in time. I used to use my real name on the net until I realized that if the climate alarmists at my place of work found out that I was a skeptic, I'd get fired. This was a common occurrence to skeptics back in 2009 if you recall, it was not until Climategate happened that it was suddenly safe to be a skeptic. I still use 'Klem' however.
Thanks for this. Cheers.
Poor Galileo
He gets used by every fly-by-night science cowboy who thinks he/she is the loner with The Truth. "The Truth" is that it was not scientists who condemned Galileo, but the CHURCH. His crime was heresy, not against Science, but against the dogmatic grip that the Catholic Church kept on Christendom that put MAN (on earth) at the centre of the Universe. What Galileo threatened was not scientific at all. In fact he was supporting the science of no lesser fellows than Copernicus and Kepler, who had developed reliable models for the behaviour of a heliocentric system. He was WITH the scientific consensus, but AGAINST the received order of things within the church. Is this ringing any bells, folks?
Well, it is often said, The Devil quotes the Bible to his own device …"

IAC Report
Did you guys ever read the IAC Report? Has some interesting recommendations for the IPCC and statements about the IPCC processes. Here are a few cherry picked ones taken out of context.
Having author teams with diverse viewpoints is the first step toward ensuring that a full range of thoughtful views are considered
However, authors reported high confidence in some statements for which there is little evidence.
The use of the level-of-understanding scale (Table 3.1), rather than the confidence scale (Table 3.2), would have made clear the weak evidentiary basis for these statements."
However, the guidance was not consistently followed in the fourth assessment, leading to unnecessary errors. For example, authors reported high confidence in statements for which there is little evidence,
However, it is unclear whose judgments are reflected in the ratings that appear in the Fourth Assessment Report or how the judgments were determined.
The IPCC does not have a conflict-of-interest or disclosure policy for its senior leadership
The confidence scale should not be used to assign subjective probabilities to ill-defined outcomes.
The IPCC should establish a formal set of criteria and processes for selecting Coordinating Lead Authors and Lead Authors.
Scientists should not feel obligated to provide an assessment where no reliable information exists
The term of the IPCC Chair should be limited to the time frame of one assessment.

Galileo Movement
Any movement, scientific or other wise, that suggests/ demands that we need to revamp our economies/ way of living on a huge scale obviously needs to be investigated and held to account. AWG is such a movement, and needs to prove its point - no prevarications.
More power to the arm of the Galileo movement.

Its great to see the denialists finally getting organized and promoting their version of the truth. The alarmists have been doing this for years and are far better at it, back in 2007 - 2009 the alarmists owned the media regarding ACC and if it werent for Climategate they would have succeeded in putting the world into carbon slavery. This new group has probably taken the alarmist playbook and are employing their tactics.
Sounds good to me.
Thanks for the heads up. Cheers

On Andrew Bolts blog, which
On Andrew Bolts blog, which is ridiculously overrun by deniers, they credited the launch of this site and it's choice of namesake, as Galileo was persecuted for going against the mainstream science and bringing the truth to light.
Now, let's look at climate science history:
Originally it was an extreme view ony accepted by Green and environment groups. Slowly they have managed to bring this issue to the public eye, to the point it is economically and politically viable, not to mention scientifically correct.
The denialists claim that nothing is happening, we should stay the way we are.
To me it sounds like Galileo would definitely NOT be a climate change denier.
The science has gathered both evidence and support, much as Galileos work did.
The deniers on Andrew Bolts blog also claim that the conservative opposition (curiously named the Liberals) only have a climate change policy (with targets exactly as their political opponents) so they can get into power and then dismantle it. These are insane minds.

Do you deny that the IAC had proper published review guidelines and conflict of interest guidelines?

Just as it took but a handful
Just as it took but a handful of reliable spokespersons to sustain the " 1 dissenter means a TV debate" paradigm of the formative period of climate counter-advertising in America, Sydney and Perth's coal-fired 21st century PR firms may be counseling their clients (very much the Down Under counterparts of the Calgary and Tulsa crowd) to subsidize the creation of a new generation of scientific point men, to deploy as the present generation of polemicists and arguments fades away.
What could be more natural than for them to focus their mentoring efforts on current loci of recruitment success- the same university departments that gave us such solons as Plimer.
The ideal candidate is a tenured academic of some administrative gravitas little creative potential, less to lose by way of current scientific fame, and much to gain in terms of nest-feathering from future consulting op-ed writing and book deals, especially in a market where political distribution can equal instant best-sellerdom even for pseudoscience pot boilers.
We are after all talking about Murdochland, where many former vestiges of intelligent conservatism, e.g. Quadrant, have been co-opted by Cuppateapartistas like Windschuttle, who, having given carte blanche to the likes of Plimer and Carter , will welcome the new cohort of mining-approved boffins aboard. Note that the prospective tax on two shiploads of coal equals ten Soon-years of grantsmanship. It's too bad that Australia's literally golden age of mining geophysics has fallen into a more lucrative black hole.

2 Part or 4 Part Paddle?
- Firstly decide if you want a 2 part or a 4 part paddle.
- Choose a 2 part paddle if space during transportation or storage is not an issue (2 part paddles take up more space in the car).
- Choose a 4 part paddle if you need a paddle that packs away, taking the minimum amount of space in the car or during storage.
Aluminium or Fibreglass Shaft?
- If on a budget, choose an aluminium shaft paddle, they are a little cheaper. They are very robust & are a good choice for a first paddle.
- If you are doing a lot of paddling out of season (when colder) a fibreglass shaft paddle is not so cold to hold.
- If distance paddling, a lighter, fibreglass shaft paddle is less tiring.
What About Paddle Length?
- All of the paddles Vortex sells are suitable for inflatable kayaks. I recommend a minimum paddle length of 220cm-230cm.

I am sure most of you have seen this picture, it has been floating around the internet for quite some time. I've seen it on Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter, but every time I see it I laugh so loud because it is so true!
I have never been a runner, I started skating when I was 12 and I should have started training (running/weights) then too because I was quite the overweight teenager but I thought that skating was enough. I have stopped and started running programs multiple times over the past few years. I decided I wanted to be a runner in 2009 and ran the Salt Lake 5K and the Race for the Cure. That plan got derailed...
Last summer when I decided that I was ready for a change in my life, I recommitted myself to running. I looked up some races, recruited a friend, and now I am running a half marathon and my friend is running a full marathon in April. I've made it through a month of committed running. 34.2 miles this month! Today while I was running I discovered that my easy jog is now at 11 min/mi, my run 10 min/mi, and my sprint pace is at 9 min/mi. When I first started running regularly, I could not run for more than 5 minutes at an 11 min/mile pace and now that's the easy part of the run. I am really excited for my official 12 week half marathon training program to start next week!
Here's to twice as many miles in February and actually looking as graceful as the top picture when I run!

You get invited by a friend to sell your sauce at something called the New Taste Market. It's held once a month in a church on Potrero Hill, and features a collection of local food producers.
A buyer named Alli from Bi-Rite Market, considered San Francisco's premier neighborhood grocery store, happens to be there and tries your sauce. She loves it, and invites you to bring some by the store for the rest of the staff to taste. You do. They love it.
One of the great things about Bi-Rite, besides the amazing selection, is the incredibly knowledgeable and passionate staff. They really take pride in learning about each product, how it's made, as well as how it's best enjoyed.
It's been a great relationship, and one that continues to flourish to this day. So, thanks again to Alli, Sam the owner, and the rest of their incredible staff. Remember, dreams do come true…sometimes literally.
Please enjoy this beautiful video, which was shot to promote Bi-Rite's cookbook, Eat Good Food. It does a way better job than I ever could of explaining why Bi-Rite is such a unique and special place. Enjoy!

Deutsche Bank (XETRA: DBKGn.DE / NYSE: DB) today reported results for 2Q2013.
Jürgen Fitschen and Anshu Jain, Co-Chief Executive Officers, said: "We are pleased to have reached our 2015 target of a Basel 3 Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 10%, while simultaneously adding significantly to our reserves. We achieved this thanks to strong operating performance and disciplined asset reduction. Furthermore, we are committed to further reducing balance sheet in a manner that enables us to meet requirements on leverage ratio, sustain our value proposition to clients and strengthen our business model without materially impacting financial performance."
They added: "Our Operational Excellence Program is enabling us to tighten our control environment, serve our clients better and improve the quality and efficiency of our infrastructure. A lot of work still lies ahead but we're making steady progress, and so far the program is delivering improvements and cost savings in line with target."
"In the second quarter our core businesses performed well, our franchise remained strong, and we continued to reconfigure our platform to serve our clients more effectively. We took an important step toward our objective of placing Deutsche Bank at the forefront of cultural change with the launch of our new values and supporting beliefs. In the months ahead, together with our senior leaders from across Deutsche Bank, we will work on embedding these values."
Group Results
(Table 1)
Results in 2Q2013 reflected solid revenues across the Core Bank and good progress in our Operational Excellence (OpEx) program, which influenced our noninterest expenses. While we reduced operating expenses, which reflected the ongoing implementation of OpEx, at the same time, related cost-to-achieve in comparison to previous quarters increased. In addition, our results reflected litigation related charges.
Our net revenues in 2Q2013 increased by 2% to EUR 8.2 billion, compared to EUR 8.0 billion in 2Q2012. In Corporate Banking & Securities (CB&S) revenues were EUR 3.7 billion, up EUR 313 million, or 9%, versus 2Q2012. This was mainly supported by improved market sentiment in Sales & Trading (equity) as well as strong issuance activity in Origination and Advisory. Reduced revenues in Sales & Trading (debt and other products) reflected a more challenging market environment compared to 2Q2012. Revenues in Global Transaction Banking (GTB) were up EUR 14 million to EUR 994 million, or 1%, from 2Q2012 despite an ongoing challenging market environment and continued pressure on margins. 2Q2013 included a gain from the sale of Deutsche Card Services. Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management (DeAWM) revenues increased by EUR 57 million, or 6%, to EUR 1.0 billion, versus 2Q2012 mainly reflecting a higher asset under management base and higher client activity levels. Private & Business Clients (PBC) revenues were EUR 2.4 billion in 2Q2013, up EUR 144 million, or 6%, compared to 2Q2012, benefiting from improved market conditions and positive one-off effects in other products category. Revenues in the NCOU decreased by 53% from EUR 414 million in 2Q2012 to EUR 193 million in the current quarter which mainly reflects the reduced asset base due to our de-risking activities. Consolidation & Adjustments (C&A) net revenues declined from negative EUR 55 million in 2Q2012 to negative EUR 167 million in 2Q2013, mainly due to the non-recurrence of positive effects from interest on taxes recorded in 2Q2012. Partly offsetting were effects from different accounting methods used for management reporting and IFRS.
Provision for credit losses were EUR 473 million in 2Q2013, an increase of EUR 55 million or 13% compared to 2Q2012. This increase was driven by NCOU as well as by the Core Bank. The increase in NCOU was mainly attributable to IAS 39 reclassified assets. Higher provisioning in the Core Bank was mainly driven by a single client credit event in GTB along with higher provisions in CB&S and partly offset by reductions predominantly in PBC, where provision for credit losses continued to improve primarily reflecting a favorable environment in Germany.
Compared to 1Q2013 provision for credit losses increased by EUR 119 million, or 34%, which was driven by NCOU, primarily due to higher charges for IAS 39 reclassified assets. Provisioning in the Core Bank also increased driven by PBC and was partly offset by reductions in CB&S and GTB. The increase in PBC is a result of low levels in 1Q2013, which in part benefited from loan disposals.
Noninterest expenses were EUR 6.9 billion in the quarter, up EUR 315 million, or 5%, compared to 2Q2012. The increase was primarily attributable to general and administrative expenses, which were EUR 3.6 billion, up EUR 305 million compared to 2Q2012, mainly due to higher litigation related expenses that were partly offset by lower expenses reflecting the ongoing implementation of the OpEx program. Compensation and benefits, were down EUR 179 million, reflecting lower compensation in CB&S as a result of the ongoing implementation of the OpEx program. Noninterest expenses from restructuring activities related to OpEx were EUR 192 million in 2Q2013. There were no such expenses in 2Q2012.
Noninterest expenses increased by EUR 327 million, or 5%, to EUR 6.9 billion versus 1Q2013. This was mainly due to higher noninterest expenses in CB&S, up EUR 202 million, or 7%, offset by lower total compensation and benefits. Noninterest expenses in the NCOU increased by EUR 180 million, or 34%, mainly driven by higher litigation related expenses.
Income before income taxes was EUR 792 million in 2Q2013 versus EUR 1.0 billion in 2Q2012, a decrease of 18%.
Net income for 2Q2013 was EUR 335 million, compared to EUR 666 million in 2Q2012, a decrease of 50%. Income tax expense in the current quarter was EUR 457 million versus EUR 301 million in the comparative period. In the current quarter the effective tax rate of 58% was mainly impacted by expenses that are not tax deductible, which include litigation related charges, and adjustments for income taxes of prior periods. In 2Q2012, the effective tax rate was 31%.
Capital, Funding and Liquidity
(Table 2)
The Bank's Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 13.3% at the end of 2Q2013, up from 12.1% at the end of 1Q2013. Common Equity Tier 1 capital increased by EUR 2.4 billion primarily driven by our EUR 3.0 billion common shares issuance in 2Q2013. RWAs decreased by EUR 10.6 billion primarily due to the successful execution of our risk reduction program in the NCOU as well as due to model roll outs. RWAs were EUR 314 billion as of 30 June 2013 compared to EUR 325 billion as of 31 March 2013.
The above mentioned Basel 2.5 effects and additional model refinements brought our Basel 3 pro-forma Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio (fully loaded) up to 10.0% at the end of 2Q2013 compared to 8.8% at the end of 1Q2013.
Through mid-July, the Bank has completed EUR 12.8 billion (ca. 71%) of its full-year funding plan of up to EUR 18 billion at an average spread of 43 basis points over Libor/Euribor. 2Q2013 also featured the issuance of USD 1.5 billion subordinated Tier 2 notes at Libor plus 225 basis points.
Liquidity reserves were EUR 213 billion, of which 45% were in cash and cash equivalents and primarily held at central banks.
Total assets were EUR 1,910 billion as of 30 June 2013, reflecting a decrease of EUR 123 billion, or 6%, versus 31 March 2013. On an adjusted basis, which reflects netting of derivatives and certain other balances, total assets were EUR 1,170 billion as of 30 June 2013, a decrease of EUR 55 billion, or 4%, compared to 31 March 2013.
The Leverage ratio, as per our adjusted definition, decreased to 19 compared to 21 as of 31 March 2013.
Segment results
Corporate Banking & Securities (CB&S)
(Table 3)
The current quarter performance was significantly impacted by an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop which resulted in elevated market volatility and a broad sell-off across asset classes towards the end of the quarter.
2Q2013 net revenues were EUR 3.7 billion, versus EUR 3.4 billion in 2Q2012, and included a loss of EUR 58 million related to the impact of a Debt Valuation Adjustment (DVA) on certain derivative liabilities, and a loss of EUR 69 million related to the mitigation of pro forma CRR/CRD 4 RWA on Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA). Excluding these impacts, net revenues increased by EUR 440 million, or 13%, compared to 2Q2012.
Sales & Trading (debt and other products) net revenues were EUR 1.9 billion in 2Q2013, a decrease of EUR 228 million, or 11%, compared to 2Q2012. RMBS was impacted by lower client activity in a more challenging market environment, resulting in significantly lower revenues compared to 2Q2012. Rates and Flow Credit also saw lower revenues compared to 2Q2012 driven by reduced market activity. In contrast, revenues in Foreign Exchange were higher, and in Commodities and Emerging Markets were significantly higher than 2Q2012. Foreign Exchange performance was driven by higher market volatility and increased client activity. During the quarter, Deutsche Bank was ranked number one in the Euromoney Annual Foreign Exchange poll, for the ninth consecutive year. Performance in Commodities was supported by favorable market conditions, and in Emerging Markets, revenues were driven by improved flow performance. In Global Liquidity Management revenues were in line with 2Q2012, whilst revenues in Credit Solutions were solid, although lower than the prior year quarter.
Sales & Trading (equity) generated net revenues of EUR 787 million in 2Q2013, an increase of EUR 279 million, or 55%, compared to 2Q2012. Both Equity Trading and Equity Derivatives revenues were significantly higher than 2Q2012, supported by improved market sentiment. Prime Finance revenues were in line with 2Q2012.
Origination and Advisory generated revenues of EUR 738 million in 2Q2013, an increase of EUR 229 million, or 45%, compared to 2Q2012. Debt Origination revenues increased significantly, driven by strong issuance activity and improved margins. Equity Origination revenues were up significantly, driven by higher revenues in U.S. and EMEA. Advisory revenues were lower than the prior year, reflecting a fall in deal volumes.
Loan products revenues were EUR 345 million in 2Q2013, an increase of EUR 104 million, or 43%, compared to 2Q2012, reflecting higher revenues from lending related activity.
Net revenues from other products were negative EUR 63 million in 2Q2013, a decrease of EUR 70 million compared to 2Q2012, driven by the aforementioned DVA on certain derivative liabilities.
In provision for credit losses CB&S recorded a net charge of EUR 28 million in 2Q2013, compared to a net charge of EUR 10 million in 2Q2012.
In provision for credit losses CB&S recorded a net charge of EUR 28 million in 2Q2013 compared to a net charge of EUR 48 million in 1Q2013.
Noninterest expenses were nearly unchanged compared to 2Q2012. The impact of significantly higher litigation related charges was offset by lower compensation and noncompensation related costs reflecting the ongoing implementation of the OpEx program.
Compared to 1Q2013, noninterest expenses increased by EUR 202 million, or 7%. This increase was primarily driven by higher litigation related charges, partly offset by the impact of lower performance based compensation costs.
Income before income taxes was EUR 785 million in 2Q2013, compared to EUR 496 million in 2Q2012, mainly driven by improved revenues and the aforementioned effects from the OpEx program, partly offset by the impact of higher litigation related expenses.
Global Transaction Banking (GTB)
(Table 4)
The market environment in 2Q2013 remained challenging with persistently low interest rates in core markets and continued pressure on margins.
Net revenues in 2Q2013 increased by EUR 14 million, or 1%, compared to 2Q2012, a solid development despite the challenging macroeconomic environment. 2Q2013 included a gain from the sale of Deutsche Card Services. Revenues in Trade Finance were challenged by the difficult market environment mentioned above, especially in Asia and Europe, while volumes continued to grow. In Trust & Securities Services, revenues showed a robust performance as strong volumes compensated for the impact from low interest rate levels. Revenues from Cash Management also came under pressure driven by the aforementioned low interest rates.
Provision for credit losses was EUR 77 million in 2Q2013, versus EUR 47 million in 2Q2012. The increase was driven by a single client credit event in Trade Finance, partly offset by lower provision for credit losses in the commercial banking activities in the Netherlands.
Provision for credit losses decreased by EUR 18 million in 2Q2013, compared to 1Q2013, driven in part by a lower impact from a single client credit event in 2Q2013 compared to 1Q2013.
Noninterest expenses declined in 2Q2013 by EUR 43 million, or 7%, compared to 2Q2012. This decrease related to the non-recurrence of integration costs for the commercial banking activities in the Netherlands recorded in 2Q2012. The ongoing focus on cost management compensated for higher insurance-related expenses. Furthermore, 2Q2013 included cost-to-achieve related to OpEx, partially driven by the turn-around measures of the commercial banking activities in the Netherlands.
Noninterest expenses increased in 2Q2013 by EUR 8 million, or 1%, compared to 1Q2013, predominantly due to the aforementioned restructuring costs.
Income before income taxes increased by EUR 27 million, or 9%, compared to 2Q2012. The increase was mainly driven by the non-recurrence of the aforementioned integration costs as well as the sale of Deutsche Card Services, partly offset by higher provisions for credit losses.
Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management (DeAWM)
(Table 5)
In the current quarter DeAWM benefited from the rise of equity and bond markets in the first two months of the quarter, which was leading to signs of re-emerging client confidence.
In DeAWM net revenues increased by EUR 57 million, or 6%, in 2Q2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Discretionary portfolio management/fund management net revenues increased by EUR 38 million, or 7%, mainly due to a higher asset under management base. Net revenues from advisory/brokerage services increased by EUR 19 million, or 9%, driven by higher client activity levels. In credit products, revenues decreased by EUR 9 million, or 9%, due to lower lending volume mainly in Asia/Pacific. Net revenues from deposits and payment services increased by EUR 11 million, or 20%, driven by higher client activity levels. Net revenues from other products were essentially unchanged compared to 2Q2012.
Provision for credit losses decreased by EUR 8 million, or 98%, compared to 2Q2012, resulting from the U.S. lending business.
Provision for credit losses decreased by EUR 12 million, or 99%, compared to 1Q2013, since 1Q2013 provisions in U.S. lending business did not re-occur this quarter.
Noninterest expenses in 2Q2013 increased by EUR 82 million, or 9%, compared to 2Q2012 due to a significant increase in cost-to-achieve related to the OpEx program, partly offset by lower compensation and benefits costs reflecting the ongoing implementation of the OpEx program.
Noninterest expenses in 2Q2013 decreased by EUR 51 million, or 5%, compared to 1Q2013. The decrease was driven by lower policyholder benefits and claims due to mark-to-market adjustments in Abbey Life contracts (offsetting effect in revenues), and savings due to restructuring activities, partially offset by higher cost-to-achieve spent for OpEx.
Income before income taxes in 2Q2013 decreased by EUR 16 million, or 17%, compared to 2Q2012, mainly driven by the aforementioned cost-to-achieve related to OpEx.
In 2Q2013, invested assets were down by EUR 27 billion, compared to the prior quarter primarily due to market depreciation and foreign currency movements.
Private & Business Clients (PBC)
(Table 6)
The low interest rate environment in the second quarter continued to impact particularly the deposit business and supported a further increase of our mortgage volumes. Investment products were still impacted by muted client activity. Results benefited from a benign credit environment in Germany.
Net revenues in PBC increased by EUR 144 million, or 6%, compared to 2Q2012, mainly driven by higher revenues from other products, which increased by EUR 126 million, or 53%, compared to 2Q2012. The increase was driven by higher equity pick-ups related to our Hua Xia Bank stake, increased releases from Postbank-related loan loss allowances recorded prior to consolidation, and positive one-off effects related to Consumer Banking Germany. Net revenues from discretionary portfolio management/fund management and advisory/brokerage products increased by EUR 12 million, or 24%, and by EUR 41 million, or 20%, respectively, compared to 2Q2012. Both product categories benefited from improved market conditions. Net revenues from credit products increased by EUR 22 million, or 3%, compared to 2Q2012, driven by higher volumes, especially in mortgages. Net revenues from deposit and payment services decreased by EUR 57 million, or 6%, compared to 2Q2012, primarily in Consumer Banking Germany, reflecting a strategic reduction of volumes and reduced margins resulting from a persisting low interest rate environment.
Provision for credit losses decreased by EUR 22 million, or 10%, versus 2Q2012. This excludes releases from Postbank-related loan loss allowances recorded prior to consolidation. The impact of such releases is reported as interest income. Provision for credit losses benefited from a favorable environment in Germany reflected in Advisory Banking Germany and Consumer Banking Germany. In Advisory Banking International, provision for credit losses increased slightly by EUR 5 million, compared to 2Q2012, due to a difficult environment, mainly in Italy.
Provision for credit losses increased by EUR 82 million, or 74%, versus 1Q2013. This excludes releases from Postbank-related loan loss allowances recorded prior to consolidation. The impact of such releases is reported as interest income. Provisions for credit losses in 1Q2013 included a EUR 35 million positive effect from portfolio sales, mainly relating to Advisory Banking Germany.
Noninterest expenses increased by EUR 33 million, or 2%, compared to 2Q2012, mainly driven by EUR 40 million higher cost-to-achieve related to the Postbank integration and other measures as part of our OpEx program. 2Q2013 included a positive impact from a release of a provision related to the Hua Xia Bank credit card cooperation, mainly offset by higher infrastructure expenses.
Noninterest expenses decreased by EUR 44 million, or 2%, compared to 1Q2013, despite EUR 49 million higher cost-to-achieve related to the Postbank integration and other measures as part of our OpEx program. 2Q2013 included the aforementioned positive impact from a release of a provision related to the Hua Xia Bank credit card cooperation.
Income before income taxes increased by EUR 140 million, or 38%, compared to 2Q2012, mainly driven by higher revenues and lower provision for credit losses.
Invested assets decreased by EUR 5 billion versus 31 March 2013, driven by EUR 3 billion net outflows, mainly in deposits, and EUR 2 billion market depreciation.
Non-Core Operations Unit (NCOU)
(Table 7)
Whilst favorable market conditions during 2013 have enabled de-risking activity to be progressed for a net gain, market conditions will continue to impact the timing of future de-risking and associated de-risking costs.
Net revenues in the NCOU in 2Q2013 decreased by EUR 222 million, or 53%, adversely impacted by the deterioration of market conditions in June. Whilst performance from operating assets has remained stable, the net interest margin generated by wholesale assets has reduced following de-risking activity undertaken. This has been partially offset by de-risking gains generated in the quarter.
Provision for credit losses in 2Q2013 was EUR 174 million, up EUR 37 million compared to 2Q2012, predominantly driven by IAS 39 reclassified assets.
Provision for credit losses in 2Q2013 increased by EUR 87 million compared to 1Q2013, predominately driven by IAS 39 reclassified exposure.
Noninterest expenses increased by EUR 230 million, or 47%, compared to 2Q2012. The reporting period included EUR 347 million of expenses relating to investments in operating assets, such as The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Maher Terminals and BHF-BANK. The increase compared to the previous year was mainly driven by higher litigation related expenses and to a lesser extent increased expenses related to our investments in operating assets.
Noninterest expenses increased by EUR 180 million, or 34%, compared to 1Q2013, mainly driven by higher litigation related expenses.
The loss before income taxes increased by EUR 483 million, versus the same quarter in 2012, primarily driven by the aforementioned movements and impacts.
The pro forma CRR/CRD 4 RWA equivalent capital savings achieved during 2Q2013 equated to EUR 11 billion with associated adjusted balance sheet reduction of EUR 14 billion. The Basel 2.5 RWA equivalent capital savings in 2Q2013 amounted to EUR 8 billion.
Consolidation & Adjustments (C&A)
(Table 8)
Loss before income taxes in C&A was EUR 205 million in 2Q2013 and EUR 72 million in the prior year quarter. Results in both periods were impacted by significant effects related to the hedging of net investments in certain foreign operations. Effects from different accounting methods used for management reporting and IFRS had no significant impact in 2Q2013 as positive effects related to shifts of the euro and U.S. dollar interest rate curves largely offset negative effects from narrowed U.S. dollar/euro basis spreads and structured credit spreads on our own debt. In addition to the aforementioned hedging effects, results in 2Q2012 included interest income on taxes as well as negative effects from different accounting methods used for management reporting and IFRS, which were particularly driven by a significant flattening of the U.S. dollar yield curve partly offset by narrowed U.S. dollar/euro basis spreads.

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
Example: (set-ld-keyword-aliases '((:q 0 q-fn) (:e 0 exit-acl2-macro)) state)
Ld-keyword-aliases is an
ld special (see ld). The accessor
(ld-keyword-aliases state) and the updater is
(set-ld-keyword-aliases val state).
Ld-keyword-aliases must be an
alist, each element of which is of the form
(:keyword n fn), where
:keyword is a keyword,
n is a nonnegative integer, and
fn is a
function symbol of arity
n, a macro symbol, or a
lambda expression
of arity
n. When
keyword is typed as an
ld command,
n more forms
are read,
x1, ..., xn, and the form
(fn 'x1 ... 'xn) is then
evaluated. The initial value of
ld-keyword-aliases is
In the example above,
q has been redefined to have the effect of
(q-fn), so for example if you define
(defmacro q-fn () '(er soft 'q "You un-bound :q and now we have a soft error."))then
q will cause an error, and if you define
(defmacro exit-acl2-macro () '(exit-ld state))then
:e will cause the effect (it so happens) that
q normally
has. If you prefer
:e to
q for exiting the ACL2 loop, you might
even want to put such definitions of
q-fn and
together with the
set-ld-keyword-aliases form above in your
"acl2-customization.lisp" file; see acl2-customization.
The general-purpose ACL2 read-eval-print loop,
ld, reads forms from
standard-oi, evaluates them and prints the result to
However, there are various flags that control
ld's behavior and
ld-keyword-aliases is one of them.
Ld-keyword-aliases affects how
keyword commands are parsed. Generally speaking,
ld's command
interpreter reads ``
:fn x1 ... xn'' as ``
(fn 'x1 ... 'xn)'' when
is a keyword and
fn is the name of an
n-ary function. But this
parse is overridden, as described above, for the keywords bound in

Checking in on… the OVCPosted by rtmsf on February 21st, 2010
Greg Waddell of Murray State News is the RTC correspondent for the Ohio Valley Conference.
Standings (as of 2/18)
Team of the Week – Murray State captures the honor this week at the Racers continue a run of dominance through the OVC. Sitting at 16-0, Billy Kennedy's team secured the regular season crown on Tuesday in a 80-68 win over Southeast Missouri State. Joe Lunardi of ESPN currently has Murray as a No. 13 seed in the NCAA tournament, playing Temple in Spokane. It will be interesting to see how the brackets unfold if Murray falls in the conference tournament as the OVC has typically been a one-bid conference. As Doug Gottlieb noted, it may be hard to turn down a Racer team with only four losses.
Player of the Week- In an unorthodox move, this week's edition will nominate two players for the top honor. Seeing as how coverage is divided into a bi-weekly segment it would only seem fair to have two winners. Week one winner, Nick Murphy of Jacksonville State averaged 21 points, 10 rebounds and three assists per game as the Gamecocks split a pair of games from Feb. 8 through Feb 15 while week two winner Mark Yelovich from SIU – Edwardsville earned the award after dropping 34 points on the University of North Dakota.
Play of the Week – Instead of the typical game of the week, this edition will instead focus on a single play. This week's honor goes to Isaiah Canaan, a freshman on the Murray State basketball team, after a half court shot from his knees earned the guard the top spot on the Sportscenter Top 10 and an interview with Jay Crawford on ESPN2 First Take. The heave has been mentioned as a possible nominee for an ESPY as Play of the Year.
League Notes
- According to OVCSports.com the OVC has a conference RPI of 19th nationally entering this week, a 10-spot improvement over two seasons ago.
- Also as of now seven OVC teams have clinched a spot in the eight-team tournament as Tennessee State, UT Martin and SEMO fight for the final spot.
- Murray State. The Racers wrapped up a conference championship and no. 1 seed in the OVC tournament Tuesday, coasting past the Redhawks of SEMO 80-68. Senior Danero Thomas recorded 18 points in the win and Isaiah Canaan hit a circus shot from half court to earn a date with ESPN. This season has been All-Racers thus far. Can it continue? We'll see.
- Morehead State. The Eagles played one of the toughest conference games this week, taking on Eastern Kentucky in a battle of the OVC's No. 2 and 3 teams. Kenneth Faried was, well, Kenneth Faried, notching 15 points and 16 rebounds for the his 20th double-double on the year. Maze Stallworth added 20 points and four three-pointers and State rolled, clinching second place in the conference in the process.
- Eastern Kentucky. The Colonels played admirably but fell just short against Morehead, stumbling 77-64. Josh Taylor played well for EKU, notching 21 points in the loss, but it just wasn't enough. Eastern will get a shot at Murray State on Feb. 27 at 6 p.m.
- Austin Peay. The Govs had an exciting week as they opened play against Jacksonville State, drubbing the Gamecocks 83-63, before edging the Golden Eagles on Tennessee Tech in overtime. Austin Peay got a little help from two players this week, as Anthony Campbell and Wes Channels team to lead the team in scoring both games. The highlight of the week came in the second contest as Channels dropped 24 with Campbell adding 23.
- Tennessee Tech. Overtime is just not good to the Golden Eagles as both games this week went to extra periods and both ended with losses. Tech is now 1-4 in extended play this season with Elijah Muhammed remaining one of the few bright spots after notching 26 points and 8 assists against Tennessee State and 15 against Austin Peay. Frank Davis added 15 in the loss to Peay.
- Jacksonville State. Jacksonville State had another bad week, stumbling in back to back games at Austin Peay and Tennessee State. Dominique Shellman and John Barnes recorded 13 points apiece in the loss to the Govs.
- Eastern Illinois. Eastern Illinois only played one game this week but that one game was a win, knocking off UT-Martin 83-68. Zavier Sanders, notched 16 points on eight of 10 shooting, to lead the Panthers.
- Southeast Missouri State. SEMO played an integral role in Murray State's conference championship Tuesday. Mainly in that they lost, but it's a role they played nonetheless. There really isn't anything to positive to say about the Redhawks at this point other than Marland Smith (19 points) and Derek Thompson (17 points) played well in the loss.
- Tennessee State. The Tigers managed a two game winning streak this week, knocking off the Golden Eagles of Tennessee Tech and Jacksonville State in succession. Jeremiah Crutcher and Robert Covington teamed up for 48 points (24 apiece) in the win against Tech and Jacquan Noble dropped 18 points in the win over State.
- UT Martin. Marquis Weddle was the only thing to write home about again as the Skyhawks lost their only game of the week. Weddle scored 18 points but it just wasn't enough. Maybe next week.
- SIU Edwardsville. Playing a JV team this week, the Cougars picked up their fourth win of the season as Mark Yelovich exploded for 34 points against North Dakota. That was pretty much the only bright spot for SIU-E

Four Galaxies from HUDF WFC3/G141 Emission-Line Galaxies Sample
This is a montage of four small, young galaxies taken from a Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 slitless grism sample of 28 low-mass galaxies located 10 billion light-years away in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field region of the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS). These color images were generated from exposures in six different Hubble filters and provide detailed information about the different wavelengths of light coming from the galaxies. Astronomers say this new study gives them a view of galaxies as they appeared when the universe was less than a quarter of its current age and shows that central black holes formed at an early stage in galaxy evolution.
The authors of this study to be published in the Astrophysical Journal are Jonathan Trump, Dale Kocevski, Elizabeth McGrath, David Koo, Sandra Faber, Mark Mozena, and Hassen Yesuf (University of California, Santa Cruz); Benjamin Weiner and Stephanie Juneau (Steward Observatory); Claudia Scarlata (University of Minnesota); Eric Bell (University of Michigan); Elise Laird and Cyprian Rangel (Imperial College of London); Renbin Yan (New York University); Hakim Atek and Harry Teplitz (Spitzer Science Center, Caltech); Mark Dickinson and Jeyhan Kartaltepe (National Optical Astronomical Observatories); Jennifer Donley, Henry Ferguson, Norman Grogin, and Anton Koekemoer (Space Telescope Science Institute); James Dunlop (University of Edinburgh); Steven Finkelstein (Texas A&M University); Nimish Hathi (Carnegie Observatories); Kirpal Nandra (Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics); Jeffrey Newman (University of Pittsburgh); Steven Rodney (Johns Hopkins University); and Amber Straughn (Goddard Space Flight Center).

I am very very much a beginner in the world of pedal electronics so please forgive me if I'm wasting people time and what-not, but I've done a search and it doesn't look like anything like this is up here so... here goes..
I'm about to acquire a Blue Boy Deluxe, and plan on swapping out the op amp. The stock is the JRC4558 which is typically described as warm - that's nice, but I'd like something a bit different. I already have my "warm" overdrive, and I'm after a different flavor of TS type overdrive. I've heard the TL072, Burr Brown OPA2134(i think), NE5532 yield nice results. I also understand different opamps have different amounts of compression and frequency spread.
I'd like something that would sound more open, less compressed, less emphasis on mids (ie. not as warm?) but at the same time NOT become shrill or fizzy. This would probably require a chip that has less compression, and a wider frequency spread.
If its relevant, I might run this pedal at 12 or 18v as well, but 99% of the time it'll be at 9v DC
Any thoughts and suggestions would be great, I would probably be buying 2 or 3 of these things to play around.
ps. if someone managed to find/create some sort of table comparing the characteristics of these types of opamps that would be super!

Hello, Mary Bowman-Kruhm here. I am about to fly to Kenya and am delighted Marc is giving me an opportunity to share what I discover there with you. Because of the present volatile political situation, I'm a little nervous. But, as a former high school teacher and special education administrator, I'm familiar with the unexpected! Along the way, I've also written over 30 books for toddlers to young adults.
Researching a biography of the Leakey family of anthropological fame took me to Kenya in 2004 and I immediately fell in love with the country. Three years ago my husband and I decided to financially help a bright young man, Jackson Minteeng Liaram, continue his education. Jackson is a Maasai warrior, who, in their brilliant red and blue tunics, spear in hand, often visually represent the other 99% of Kenya's population. After receiving a poignant snail mail letter thanking us for our help I felt I had to write his story.
On this trip I'll spend several days interviewing Jackson, now a nature specialist at a camp in the Maasai Mara, a vast wildlife reserve where humans are guests. Jackson respects traditional Maasai values but also quests for information about the larger world. Last spring after a day herding cattle, Jackson sent me an e-mail from new laptop computer, "'Now I'm with you in the Internet. Two worlds!'" Jackson has agreed to answer your questions about either of his worlds. Post a question as a comment and it will be forwarded to him.
As for me, I plan to spend several weeks mucking around in a palette overflowing with ideas:
· Concern that many American young people are comfortable in an electronic world but not a natural world and can't, like Jackson, seamlessly move between both.
· Wonder at how Jackson has leaped several millennia from a pastoral world with no electricity, no running water, and a monetary system based on cattle into a Westernized 21st century.
· Questions how Kenya's history sent a country considered stable with a growing economy into a trajectory of chaos and violence.
· Reflection on the Maasai culture, with its emphasis on living in harmony with nature and leaving a small environmental footprint.
Your comments definitely welcomed!

April 24, 2008
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Yale had 28 teams honored by the NCAA with Public Recognition Awards for high Academic Progress Rate scores Thursday, four more than any other school in the country. This is the third year in a row Yale has led the nation in teams recognized for high APR scores.
Last year Yale also led the nation with 28 Public Recognition Awards, four more than any other school. In 2006 26 of Yale's 29 teams that were eligible to be rated had APR scores in the top 10 percent.
This year a total of 712 teams across 192 Division I institutions were honored with the awards, which are given to those teams whose multi-year APR scores are in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The Ivy League was the Division I conference with the largest number of high-performing squads, with 150 teams receiving awards this year. Yale (28 teams) was followed by Dartmouth (24), Brown (21), Penn (20), Princeton (19), Harvard (18), Cornell (11) and Columbia (9).
The Academic Progress Rate measures semester-by-semester progress toward graduation of every individual team in Division I and includes eligibility, retention and graduation as factors. The APR awards two points each term to student-athletes who meet academic eligibility standards and who remain with the institution. A team's APR is the total points earned by the team at a given time divided by the total points possible, multiplied by 1,000. It includes four years. Multi-year APR scores for all Division I sports teams, including the teams receiving public recognition awards, will be announced May 6.
Yale's 28 Public Recognition Award recipients are:
- Baseball
- Men's Basketball
- Men's Cross Country
- Men's Fencing
- Football
- Men's Golf
- Men's Ice Hockey
- Men's Lacrosse
- Men's Soccer
- Men's Swimming and Diving
- Men's Tennis
- Men's Indoor Track and Field
- Men's Outdoor Track and Field
- Women's Basketball
- Women's Crew
- Women's Cross Country
- Women's Fencing
- Field Hockey
- Women's Golf
- Women's Gymnastics
- Women's Ice Hockey
- Women's Soccer
- Softball
- Women's Swimming and Diving
- Women's Tennis
- Women's Indoor Track and Field
- Women's Outdoor Track and Field
- Women's Volleyball
Note: Heavyweight crew, lightweight crew, sailing, women's sailing, men's squash and women's squash are not included in the NCAA's APR ratings.

The problem with the emergency bivvy sacks made of the heat-reflective space blanket material is that while they provide warmth, they don't let moisture escape. Thus, you sweat. But a new material in AMK's SOL Escape bivvy changes that.
According to GearJunkie, the SOL bivvy is rain-, snow- and wind-resistant, but its material has a breathable design so that you don't feel like you're in a sauna. The $50 bag only weighs 10 oz. and rolls up to be approximately the size of a Nalgene bottle. Expect to see it in stores in 2012. [GearJunkie]
