Hope College Game Notes
NCAA Division III First Round Game
Hope vs. Juniata, Pa. at Berea, Ohio
Friday, March 7, 2008
Flying Dutch Probable Starters
F - 24 Stacy Warsen (5-10 senior from Cutlerville, Mich.)
C - 41 Lindsay Lange (6-12 senior from Manistee, Mich.)
G -- 4 Philana Greene (5-9 sophomore from Grandville, Mich.)
G - 14 Julie Henderson (5-11 senior from Grand Haven, Mich.)
G - 22 Jordyn Boles (5-10 senior from Grand Rapids, Mich.)
The Flying Dutch are appearing in the NCAA Division III championships for the tenth time in school history and the sixth time since 2001. They have opened tournament play at home only four times. Their NCAA tournament record is 15-7, including 7-1 on their home court and 6-8 when played on the road.
Hope has qualified for the NCAA tournament as champion of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA). An MIAA team has been national champion three times -- Hope in 1990 and 2006 and Alma in 1992. MIAA teams have a cumulative NCAA record of 40-27.
This will be a first-time meeting between Hope and Juniata. The teams had one common opponent this season. Juniata defeated Adrian 63-59 in a holiday tournament game at Juniata. Hope defeated Adrian twice in conference games, 74-54 (away) and 88-65 (home). Juniata is appearing in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1986.
This year's team has the added incentive for wanting to advance through the tournament as thesemi-finals and national championship game will be played at Hope's DeVos Fieldhouse the weekend of March 21-22. Winning a national title on their home court would not be something new to the Flying Dutch who won the 1990 Division III national crown at the HollandCivicCenter with an amazing come-from-behind over heavily favored St. John Fisher, N.Y., 65-63.
Hope is playing its 11th straight NCAA tournament game on the road. Hope's last homeNCAA tournament game was a 2003 first round victory over Mount St. Joseph, Ohio. at the college's Dow Center. Hope moved to the DeVos Fieldhouse in 2005, but has yet to host an NCAA game there. In 2006 the Flying Dutch played six consecutive games on the road en route to winning the national championship in Springfield, Mass. A year ago the Flying Dutch were sent to Greencastle, Ind. where they were upset by Denison, Ohio in a first round game. Hope's DeVos Fieldhouse record is 43-1, including 18-0 this season.
Senior Julie Henderson has been named the conference (MIAA) Defensive player of the year for the second year in-a-row. In 2006 she was named to the all-tournament team at the NCAA championship finals.
Senior Jordyn Boles has been voted to the All-MIAA women's first team or the thirdconsecutive year. She was joined on the first team by sophomore Philana Greene. Senior Lindsay Lange of Manistee received second team recognition.
Jordyn Boles and Julie Henderson have each started in 116 consecutive games which ties the Hope record forconsecutive starts held by Amy Baltmanis from 1999-2003. Boles holds the Hope record for three-point baskets (208) and ranks sixth all-time among Hope scorers with 1,221 points. Henderson, a fifth-year player, started her first two games as a freshman but was sidelined for the rest of the season because of an injury. Henderson is the all-time Hope leader in steals (228) and ranks second in assistswith 435(The record is 461 assists by Sue Buikema, 1984-88).
Lindsay Lange ranks 3rd all-time at Hope in blocked shots with 118. The career leader is Lisa Timmer with 137 from 1993-97 and second all-time is Kristin Carlson
with 123 from 1991-95. Lange's blocked shot total has been reached in three seasons
while Timmer and Carlson accomplished their's over four seasons. Lange played on
the Hope junior varsity as a freshman. She is also an NCAA All-American
Six current players were on Hope's 2006 national championship team -- Jordyn Boles,Julie Henderson, Kaitlyn Kopke, Courtney Knox, Lindsay Lange and Stacy Warsen. Boles, Henderson and Warsen started in the national championship game.
In 12 seasons under Coach Brian Morehouse, the Flying Dutch are 285-55 (84%). He entered the 2007-08 season ranked fifth among NCAA Division III coaches by winning percentage. His father, Dean Morehouse, is a member of the coaching staff.
The Hope College men's basketball team has also qualified for the NCAA Division III championship. There are 12 schools that have both the men's and women's basketball teams in this year's tournament. Joining Hope are Washington, Mo., Brandeis, Mass., Chicago, Rochester, N.Y., Amherst, Mass., Bowdoin, Me., Salem State, Mass., Scranton, Pa., St. Thomas, Minn., UW-Eau Claire, and UW-Stevens Point.

Chris Hadfield—CSA Astronaut, ISS Commander and the human explainer for all things space related—answers another question with his latest video: how do astronauts exercise with that zero gravity and all? Turns out, they do a lot of the same stuff we do: running on a treadmill, deadlifts, squats and more. Only their exercises require being carefully tied down by a harness. Plus, astronauts have to work out 2 hours everyday to maintain bone and muscle mass.
In the video, you can see the T2 treadmill and the ARED (Advanced Resistive Exercise Device). But what about... sweat? [CSA YouTube]

Hair Bun With Ponytail
How to make a hair bun with ponytail
Most probably, you've tried some similar hairstyles and won't find anything new here. But for me, this was a pretty new style to try on.
Here are several instructional steps on how to arrange your hair into a beautiful, yet simple hair bun with ponytail.
1. Make a half up ponytail closer to the top of your head. Part hair from ears and back, it must be about the half of your hair size. This is the part that will represent your pony tail in the completed hair style. Secure your ponytail with an elastic rubber or hair pin.
2. Take hair from below, and make a cinnamon bun around your ponytail (twist your hair aroung the middle of the ponytail).
3. Once the bun is completed, secure it with hair pins or sticks.
Here's the hairstyle you will get:
Also, as a variant of this hair style that makes your bun look really huge, you can take your ponytail hair and twist it around the bun again and put all the hair into one big bun. Secure the bun with hair pins or use sticks.

Most employers will tell you that job seekers routinely make obvious, painful errors on their resumes that cost them the job. And while there are online tools that will help you avoid making some of these mistakes, such as punctuation errors, most tools won't catch these four major blunders.1. Subjective Text.
When you fill your resume with lavish self-praise, like "dedicated self-starter," "exceptional communication skills," and "hard-working professional," you're just stating your own opinion. This kind of language is like nails on a chalkboard to recruiters. Why? You're not stating facts. Don't tell them how you see yourself. Prove it by listing quantifiable accomplishments. Let the recruiter decide if you're actually a self-starter.
2. Too Much Info.
Many people assume they should list everything they have ever done at every job. It makes them feel like they're proving they've got valuable experience. Well, in reality, it detracts from your core message and strengths. Information overload to a recruiter is not a way to stand out. It's actually the fastest way to get in the 'no' pile. That's because, when they see you've listed everything, they look for every single skill they need. And, if even one skill is missing, they assume you don't have it.
The better approach is to simplify the resume to list only the key skills you want to leverage. Then you will be implying that you have a lot more to offer — but the recruiters need to contact you to find out. Less is more. If the hiring managers like what they see, they'll contact you for a phone screen to get more details. And that's exactly what you want the resume to do: Make the phone ring!
3. Weak Top-Fold.
The first third of our resume is known as the "top-fold" — it's where the eye goes when someone sees your resume for the first time. Most studies say a hiring manager's mind is made up about the candidate within six to 13 seconds of reading the resume. Which means the top-fold is determining whether you even get considered for the job. Text-intensive top-folds that aren't well-formatted and don't present key skill sets lose the reader's attention. It's that simple.
4. Fancy Fonts.
Curly-tailed fonts (aka fancy fonts) are harder to read. That translates into the reader absorbing less of what's been written. When you use script fonts as a way to make your resume look "classier," you are only making it harder for the hiring manager to retain what you are all about. Skip the script font and go with something clean-lined, like Arial or Calibri. While that may look more basic, the hiring manager will at least take in more — and that can lead to the phone call you want.
Keep in mind: Your resume is your marketing document. Paying attention to these minor details can help you get a better response to your marketing message. Which is: "I'm worth talking to about this job!"

For the first time in nearly two years, Mamadou Ndiaye got to speak to the man who stabbed and killed his only son, Elhadji.
But, instead of lashing out at Robenson Daniel, Ndiaye spoke of forgiveness.
For the first time in nearly two years, Mamadou Ndiaye got to speak to the man who stabbed and killed his only son, Elhadji.
But, instead of lashing out at Robenson Daniel, Ndiaye spoke of forgiveness.
"We forgive you, from our heart," Ndiaye told Daniel after Daniel pleaded guilty in Middlesex Superior Court Thursday to a reduced charge of voluntary manslaughter in the stabbing death of Elhadji Ndiaye at Regis College.
"We forgive you, person-to-person, we forgive you. As a family, we forgive you," said Ndiaye. "This is the hardest thing that has ever happened to me. He was my only son. Nothing this hard will ever happen to me again, but we are human and we forgive you."
Daniel, 22, nodded his head after hearing the father's words. As he was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs he turned and waved to Ndiaye, who returned the wave.
"It was very difficult, but we are human," said Ndiaye after the hearing. "I cannot win in this case."
Daniel was moved by Ndiaye's gesture, his lawyer, Mark Shea, said.
"Mr. Ndiaye is one of the classiest people I have ever seen," said Shea. "It was a beautiful moment and you don't see many beautiful moments in court. Mr. Daniel was really touched by that."
Judge Elizabeth Fahey accepted Daniel's plea, as well as the recommended sentence of four to five years in prison.
Daniel will get credit for the 700 days he has served in jail, and could be out of prison in about two years.
Daniel also pleaded guilty to assault and battery with a dangerous weapon for stabbing Ndiaye's friend, Franky Andrevil six times. Fahey sentenced him to a concurrent sentence of four to five years in prison.
Fahey also placed Daniel on probation for five years after he pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon for swinging a knife at another man, but missing him. The probation will start once Daniel is released from prison.
The prosecutor's office chose not to prosecute several other charges, including assault with intent to murder, and additional charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault with a dangerous weapon, as part of the plea deal.
Prosecutor Nicole Allain said Ndiaye and Daniel were part of two different groups of men who were visiting people at Regis College on Sept. 24, 2010.
During the night, one of Daniel's friends made a derogatory comment about Haitians, which several of Ndiaye's friends were, which led to an argument.
Around 2:30 a.m., the two groups met in the parking lot and a fight started when Andrevil yelled, "I'm getting my 9," meaning he had a gun, Allain said. Andrevil never showed a gun, but instead tackled Daniel. While both were on the ground, Daniel stabbed him six times.
He then attempted to stab a second man, before he stabbed Ndiaye in the chest, piercing his heart and liver. Ndiaye had a pipe, raised up over his head, Allain said.
"Mr. Ndiaye took several steps and then collapsed," Allain said.
Daniel and his group of friends left, and Daniel was arrested about a week later.
Shea said he still maintains that Daniel was innocent of any wrongdoing and it was an obvious case of self-defense from a larger group.
"You can't risk a 22-year-old man going to prison for the rest of his life," Shea said.
Shea said Daniel will continue to take classes through Wheelock College in Boston, which he attended before his arrest. He said the plea will allow him to get out of prison and still lead a productive life.
Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone, in a statement, said he was pleased that Daniel took responsibility for his actions.
"(Thursday), the defendant admitted his guilt and responsibility for the stabbing death of Elhadji Malick Ndiaye," said Leone. "This is another tragic example of young people resorting to violence to settle a dispute, resulting in fatal consequences and doing irreversible damage to several lives. Our thoughts remain with the Ndiaye family, who served as a tower of strength and forgiveness during this case."

The Cop Outfit is an outfit available in Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto V, and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
The Cop uniform in GTA Vice City is that of VCPD officers. It consists a light brown shirt with white T-shirt, brown pants, and brown shoes.
It is used during the mission "Cop Land", in which Tommy Vercetti and Lance Vance steal VCPD uniforms from a couple of police officers. In No Escape?, Tommy can also change into one after entering VCPD HQ in order to bust out Cam Jones.
While wearing the outfit, Tommy Vercetti is an ally of the VCPD, and is able to get in and out the Washington Beach Police Department without receiving a two-star wanted level. Inside the station, police officers will remain friendly towards Vercetti until a hostile act (i.e. shooting) is made by the player.
The player can also get in the Fort Baxter Air Base without getting shot by soldiers.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The Cop uniform in GTA San Andreas is that of the LSPD. It consists a black shirt with white T-shirt, black pants, black shoes and police belt; similar in design as the Medic Uniform.
Unlike in Vice City, the Cop uniform in San Andreas doesn't make CJ "resistant" of gaining wanted levels, which is evident if he displays a weapon inside a police station.
It is obtained from Barbara Schternvart after obtaining 100% in your relationship with her.
Grand Theft Auto V
The uniform is composed of a desert tan long-sleeve shirt and pants with a blue necktie, the pants also hold numerous pouches, radio, and a filled gun holster on the black belt. A namebadge reading "GRANT" is on it. It also has a blue/black helmet with the San Andreas Highway Patrol badge charged in the center. It is purely cosmetic and cops will still engage the player in pursuit if they commit a crime. This uniform is also seen on motorcycle officers at different locations throughout San Andreas. This uniform is similar to the actual ones used by the California Highway Patrol motorcycle officers in real life.
Via save editing or trainers a hidden LSPD uniform can be found for Michael. The reason might be is because that he works with the FIB.
Grand Theft Auto Online
In the Prison Break - Station setup mission for The Prison Break heist added in the Heists Update, two players in the "Station" team have to dress up as cops to steal a prison bus schedule. Also in the Versus mission Crooked Cop.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- Found inside the locker room of the Washington Beach police station, after the mission "Cop Land".
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- Acquired after achieving 100% relationship with Barbara Schternvart.
Grand Theft Auto V
- Found inside safehouses for Michael and Trevor, after completing the story.
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Only worn during Prison Break - Station, Hasta La Vista III, and optionally wearable in Crooked Cop. Currently unobtainable through any glitches or exploits performed during the setup or mission as it is blacklisted.
- GTA Vice City Stories offers an outfit with similar effects called Army Fatigues.

Enough Said
Massage therapist Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Veep) is a divorced mother with a comfortable routine. She treats her clients in their homes, deals with their quirks and comes home to her daughter. Facing an empty home when her daughter moves away to college, Eva decides to expand her social circle. She's not looking for a man; she just doesn't want to spend her nights alone stewing that her baby girl lives across the country.
At a party, she meets Albert (James Gandolfini: Zero Dark Thirty), a divorced dad also fretting over a college-bound daughter. They click instantly, but Eva isn't sure if she wants a relationship — or even if she's attracted to Albert, who's a bit of a slob.
She takes a chance, and sparks fly. But are sparks enough for a mature relationship? Albert doesn't dress for brunch, he's overweight and he can't whisper. Hardly hanging offenses, but as Eva works on a new client (Catherine Keener: The Croods) who constantly badmouths her ex, she questions whether Albert is worth the effort. Is she willing to risk her heart on another imperfect man, or is she better off alone?
A film about the mistakes we make and the people willing to overlook them, Enough Said is a smartly written, funny and beautifully acted romantic comedy. Writer/director Nicole Holofcener (Please Give) has a knack for great dialog. Funny, awkward moments make you squirm even as you laugh. The natural chemistry between Gandolfini and Louis-Dreyfus helps Holofcener's script.
Best of all, Holofcener's characters aren't gorgeous 30-somethings looking for love through a series of hijinks. Eva and Albert are older, settled and interested in making a real connection. There are no grand romantic gestures or overly dramatic fights, just great conversation and superb acting.
Louis-Dreyfus as Eva is our likeable protagonist. With her charm and comedic timing, Louis-Dreyfus makes it look easy. It's also refreshing to note that Eva's age isn't part of the conversation. She doesn't worry that she's too old to date or spend long scenes staring at her wrinkles in the mirror. She's a beautiful woman who knows that she's a catch.
Playing the slobbish Yin to Eva's fastidious Yang, Gandolfini is a revelation. Shedding the Tony Soprano persona, he makes Albert a sweet Teddy bear with a wicked sense of humor. With his easygoing nature and a sly smile, Gandolfini makes fat, balding Albert sexier than many of the shirtless Adonises who graced the screen this summer. It's a great tragedy that Gandolfini died just as he opened new territory.
Watching two great performers fall in love is a wonderful reason to go to the movies. For TV fanatics, it's a great chance to see what would happen if Elaine from Seinfeld hooked up with Tony Soprano.

I was never a fan of naming rights -- purchased memorials, I derisively called them. Slapping a corporate name on a local institution cheapens it, I always said. It attacks the core of who we are, what we are. It's selling out, plain and simple.
I remember when San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium became Qualcomm Stadium -- I was as outraged as anyone at the prospect of a fabled sports writer's name being stripped off a sports complex for which he so ardently and passionately campaigned, all for the sake of money.
Over the years, I cringed whenever another venerable name bit the dust and emerged, bruised and bloodied, by its unfortunate tumble with commerce. The beloved Aztec Bowl was torn down and became Cox Arena and then Viejas Arena. The San Diego Street Scene became the Michelob Street Scene, albeit for just a couple of years. The San Diego Sports Arena became the iPayOne Center and then the Valley View Center. And a recitation of college bowl games began sounding like one of those extended stretches of commercials during a station break -- you know, that time when those of us who listen to AM talk radio in the car switch to our CDs for a song or two.
And yet I wish nothing but the best for the proposed Corporate Sponsorship Program in Temecula, which the city's finance team has assembled for consideration by the City Council's finance subcommittee (composed of Mayor Mike Naggar and Councilman Chuck Washington). The proposed program includes guidelines for all sorts of ways to generate revenue from the private sector, including sponsorship of city events, paid advertising on city property and, yes, naming rights to buildings.
Right on, Mayor Mike. I've come around, you see. I still don't like the concept of cities and other entities selling naming rights. But from an economic standpoint, I've come to see they can make a whole lot of sense.
Sometimes a building couldn't be renovated or operated at full capacity without a little financial help; sometimes a popular civic event such as a summer concert series or holiday parade would put a drain on city finances. And rather than soak the taxpayer -- or the ticket-buying public -- turning to the private sector for a quid pro quo can often be a viable, and sensible, option.
The city of San Diego's Corporate Partnership Program, for example, has generated more than $20 million for the city, according to its website. It was launched in 1999 as a way "to benefit our taxpayers and strengthen our General Fund," the website said, and while the sale of naming rights to iconic edifices is the most visible aspect of the program, there are various other sponsorship opportunities available, such as Toyota's sponsorship of city lifeguard trucks, which gave San Diego the use of a new fleet of Toyota trucks for two years in return for allowing Toyota to publicize that fact, call itself the "official" sponsor and stage promotional events at city facilities.
That's not selling out. That's being smart.

It's fair to say that Batavia is a sports-minded town. From the Battlin' Bulldogs to the multitude of sports options for all ages, there's no shortage of recreational opportunities in Batavia. A growing sport soon will be coming to the area to give people an additional source of fun.
Disc golf has been around for decades and recently has seen a rise in popularity. Disc golf courses have popped up throughout the suburbs and are seeing resounding success. Because of the growing popularity of the sport, there is a large demand for additional courses, according to the Professional Disc Golf Association.
In fall 2011, the Batavia Park District's intern, Elizabeth Carsi, was asked to put together a proposal for a disc golf course as her final project. As a resident of Batavia, Carsi was excited about the opportunity.
"Growing up in Batavia, my friends and I had to travel to other towns to play disc golf," Carsi said, "When I became the park district intern in fall 2011, I spent my time developing a plan for the first Batavia disc golf course. I've always thought it would be a great addition to the park district, and I'm so excited to see this becoming a reality."
After consulting with Midwest Disc Golf in Lombard, a potential site was chosen. A preliminary layout was established for an 18-hole course at West Main Community Park, and at the end of the semester, Carsi submitted her proposal to the Batavia Park Board.
Senior projects don't always come to fruition, but bringing a new recreational opportunity to Batavia aligned perfectly with the mission of the Batavia Parks Foundation, and the Foundation board quickly became interested in turning the proposal into reality.
"The Batavia Parks Foundation was created to enhance and expand recreation in the community," said Matt Ellmann, Foundation board member. "A disc golf course will be a unique addition to the system and will help serve a new population of both teens and young adults."
Disc golf is a sport that can be played by all ages and ability levels, which is part of the attraction of the sport. The cost, or lack thereof, is another contributing factor to its popularity. Disc golf courses rarely charge fees, there are no cart rental fees, and discs are inexpensive.
Kevin DiVerde, an avid disc golf player from Batavia, had the opportunity to walk the course this summer with his father, a member of the Foundation board. DiVerde has been playing disc golf for 10 years and has played more than 20 courses across six states, including Hawaii.
"Disc golf is a sport that is constantly challenging you, yet is enjoyable at nearly every skill level," DiVerde said, "I'm very happy with the location of the new course at West Main Community Park, and I'm excited to play the course once it's complete. It's a good use of the land, and the course should attract a wide variety of players."
As with traditional golf courses, each disc golf course offers its own unique layout and obstacles. The course at West Main Community Park will offer a challenge for golfers that few other courses in the area provide.
This fall, park district staff and Foundation members worked with Midwest Disc Golf to begin staking the holes and preparing the course.
Parks crews mowed brush, trimmed low-hanging branches, filled holes and seeded bare areas. They also have begun digging and installing the ground holes for the disc baskets and tee markers. The work is on schedule, and all major infrastructure should be completed by the end of December.
The Batavia Park District and Batavia Parks Foundation will plan a dedication and grand-opening event for the spring. Be on the lookout for information in the spring park district brochure, due out in February 2013.

Progress on information for results
There can be no accountability without timely, reliable and accessible health information and data. Solid information at the country level is essential to measure and monitor results. ICTs can help enormously to disseminate and share information on results and resources for women's and children's health. Recommendations 1, 2 and 3 advise on what actions are required to move towards one sound country system that meets all data needs for women's and children's health.
Recommendation 1: Vital Events
By 2015, all countries have taken significant steps to establish a system for registration of births, deaths and causes of death, and have well-functioning health information systems that combine data from facilities, administrative sources and surveys.
Recommendation 2: Health indicators
By 2012, the same 11 indicators on reproductive, maternal and child health, disaggregated for gender and other equity considerations, are being used for the purpose of monitoring progress towards the goals of the Global Strategy.
Recommendation 3: Innovation
By 2015, all countries have integrated the use of Information and Communication Technologies in their national health information systems and health infrastructure.

SBD plummer (pillow) block housings and THD take-up housings are intended for grease lubrication. The lubricant should be selected based on the operating conditions of the bearing. For additional information, refer to Lubricant selection.
Initial grease fill
If no other requirements exist, the free space in the bearing should be completely filled with grease and the free space in the housing should be filled to 70 to 80% of its volume.
For highly contaminated environments, use the SKF Three-Barrier Solution. In this case, check that the housing can accommodate SKF sealed self-aligning bearings. For additional information, contact the SKF application engineering service.
In most applications, the initial grease fill will adequately lubricate the bearing until the grease is exchanged during the next planned maintenance interval.
Some high speed, high temperature or heavy load applications may require the bearing to be relubricated. SBD plummer block housings and THD take-up housings have a button head grease fitting to lubricate the bearing in accordance with DIN 3404. SBD housings have the grease fitting centred at the top of the housing body (fig. 1), while THD housings have the grease fitting centered on the side of the housing body (fig. 2).
The grease fitting can only be used to relubricate spherical roller bearings with a relubrication feature (a lubrication groove and holes in the outer ring). When applying grease via the relubrication feature, the shaft should be rotating.
CARB toroidal roller bearings should be relubricated from the side and not via the grease fitting. Therefore, CARB toroidal roller bearings need customized SBD and THD housings. For more information, contact the SKF application engineering service.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Originally released by United Artists, Copacabana now resides with Paramount and is sublicensed here for Blu-ray release to Olive Films. The black-and-white image is of variable quality, with fades, dissolves, and other opticals looking rather dog-eared, while straight cuts are notably sharp and sport more detail than previous home video releases.
Some years later, all three brothers briefly appeared in Irwin Allen's impressively terrible The Story of Mankind (1957), a movie so perversely illogical that it separated the team for a trio of unfunny historical vignettes. Two years later they teamed up yet again, with Harpo and Chico starring in a pantomimed episode of General Electric Theater called "The Incredible Jewel Robbery." Groucho turns up literally in the final seconds and says all of eight words ("We won't talk until we see our lawyer!"). Good ratings prompted a television pilot called Deputy Seraph, with Harpo and Chico headlining as bumbling angels with, so it was planned, Groucho turning up every third episode or so as a "deputy seraph" who'd bail them out of trouble. But Chico was quite ill with arteriosclerosis by this time and production had to be abandoned. It was the last time they worked together as a team, and Chico died in 1961.
So, before he struck gold with the popular radio and TV quiz show You Bet Your Life, Groucho struggled for several years as a solo act. He made three movies in this capacity, the others being Double Dynamite (1950) and A Girl in Every Port (1952), but Copacabana is by far the best.
Lionel Q. Devereaux (Groucho) and his longtime fiancée, Brazilian singer Carmen Navarro, have been a spectacularly unsuccessful nightclub act until untalented Devereaux craftily poses as Carmen's agent. Steve Hunt (Steve Cochran), who manages the Copacabana Club (the real-life Copa, at 10 East 60th Street in Manhattan is still in operation), is moderately interested in Carmen, but wants to see "agent" Devereaux's other clients. Glancing at a betting form he comes up with the name Mme. Fifi, a supposed French torch singer. Hidden under a blonde wig and behind a veil, Carmen-as-Fifi auditions for Steve a second time, and Steve makes the surprising decision to hire both Carmen and Mme. Fifi.
Devereaux lays claim to Carmen as his fiancée, but that doesn't stop Steve from asking out Mme. Fifi. Meanwhile, Steve's secretary, Anne (Gloria Jean), is madly in love with her boss, but he thinks she's in love with his boy singer, Andy Russell (himself). Devereaux, thinking he's pulling a fast one, sells his contract for the non-existent Mme. Fifi to slick agent Liggett (Ralph Sanford) for $5,000. Unknown to Devereaux, however, Liggett has already struck a movie deal for Mme. Fifi worth $100,000.
Carmen Miranda, the one-of-a-kind, Portuguese-born samba icon, had been a top if highly specialized star at 20th Century-Fox earlier in the decade. Copacabana was her first movie after leaving Fox, and her inspired teaming with Groucho works splendidly. Her heavily accented excitability makes a nice contrast to Groucho's quick-witted but casually delivered retorts. Unlike Groucho's frequent pairings with dowager types, usually played by Margaret Dumont, here Groucho and Carmen have such chemistry one can accept them as a long-engaged if unlikely couple. (Groucho's real-life wife at the time, Kay, the former Mrs. Leo Gorcey, has a small part as a cigarette girl.)
From A Night at the Opera forward, Marx Bros. movies were saddled with musical relief, often featuring second-rate talent. But Andy Russell, born Andrés Rabago Pérez to Mexican immigrant parents, with his wide smile and ingratiating manner, is unusually appealing, and Gloria Jean (Never Give a Sucker an Even Break) is similarly charming.
Probably courting publicity, the picture gives prominent billing to Abel Green, then editor of Variety, and columnists Earl Wilson and Louis Sobol. They play themselves in one brief scene, where Green's performance is awesomely, hilariously bad. He can barely get through his first line ("Hiya, kids!") then as Carmen Miranda seductively strolls past him he swoons so over-emphatically he looks as if he were just shot full of heroin.
Copacabana was Groucho's first movie in which he appears more or less as he did in real life. Late in the picture Devereaux suddenly announces to Steve a last-minute tryout of another client of his, who turns out to be the Groucho character from earlier Marx Bros. movies. (Devereaux remains seated next to Steve while "Groucho" performs onstage, a strange, even surreal concept.) Performing Bert Kalmar & Harry Ruby's "Go West, Young Man," the Groucho of yore appears in greasepaint mustache and eyebrows with blackened hair, wearing wire-rimmed glasses and a black topcoat. To the best of my knowledge it would be his final appearance in "Classical Groucho" get-up.
Video & Audio
Olive Film's presentation of Copacabana is generally fine. While dissolves, fades, and optical effects are at times very dupey-looking, straight cuts are nice and sharp with decent blacks and contrast. The Region A disc has decent audio, English mono only with no subtitle options, and No Extra Features.
Parting Thoughts
This is the kind of film best approached with no expectations going in, and certainly not as a showcase for Groucho Marx, though he does come off very well, especially in all his scenes with the irreplaceable Carmen Miranda. Highly Recommended.

I had a major craving for Pinkberry the other day and I decided to indulge and remembered how much I love tart, plain frozen yogurt. Making my own frozen yogurt is much more affordable than going to Pinkberry every other day! And this is such a delicious recipe and so easy to make that I definitely recommend trying it yourself. You won't regret it!
I also wanted to experiment with my pizzelle maker so I decided to make mini cones and although they don't hold a lot they are the perfect little spoon to scoop up this wonderful frozen yogurt.
Frozen yogurt + fresh fruit + pizzelle = A wonderful dessert.
Vanilla Frozen Yogurt

BRISTOL, Tenn. – After day one of the King College Invitational the men's and women's golf teams find themselves in the midst of a race for the top spot at both the team and individual level of their home tournament. Despite a rain and wind-plagued day at the Bristol Country Club, Taylor Gouge leads the pack with a two-under par performance while Elizabeth Swallow concluded her opening round with a top-five finish. Both Tornado teams either have or share second place in their respective fields.
Sophomore Taylor Gouge was one of only two players in a field of 48 to shoot under par on Monday's opening round. The Elizabethton, Tenn. native shot a 34 on both the front and back nine to make for a two-under par, 68 (34-34) first round finish, placing him atop the men's individual leaderboard. He holds a one stroke lead over Belmont Abbey's Adam Hedges.
Richard Powell (Hixson, Tenn.) gave King it's second top-10 finish after the first round of play, turning in a two-over par 72 (35-37). He finished tied for 10th position with Virginia Intermont's Walt Poston.
Ross Maietta (Bexley, England) finished a stroke back of Powell with a first round 73 (38-35). John Scott also finished in the top half of the field with a 39-36-75, good for a share of 18th place. Freshman Sam Hobday rounded out King's lineup with an 83 (40-83).
The Tornado finished in a tie for second with Belmont Abbey in the field of eight men's teams. Both the Crusaders and the Tornado finished eight-over par (288) as a team, just two strokes off the pace of leader Barton College (286).
Elizabeth Swallow (Berkshire, England) finished nine-over par (39-41-80) to lead the Lady Tornado in Monday's action. The freshman stands in a tie with Mount Olive's Virginia Lane for fifth place individually and is one of three King golfers inside the top 11 positions.
Sophomore Anna Walker shot a first-round 82 (43-39), giving her a share of seventh place overall. Senior Esther Gandarias (Madrid, Spain) rebounded from her effort at the Myrtle Beach Intercollegiate by placing herself in a tie for 11th place with a day one 84 (41-43) scorecard.
Cortnee Young (Cleveland, Tenn.) finished two strokes back of Gandarias for 14th place while junior Kerby Jones placed 24th with a 94 (44-50).
The Lady Tornado are in sole possession of second place in the women's tournament and hold a 13-strole lead over third place Limestone and Erskine (345). They currently trail tournament leader Mount Olive (321) by 11 shots. Elizabeth Swallow is seven shots behind tournament leader Emelie Andersson (38-35-73) of Mount Olive.
The second round of the King College Invitational will begin at 9 a.m. from the Bristol Country Club (Bristol, Tenn.). Conditions call for early morning frost warnings with temperatures warming up to the mid-to-high 60s by early afternoon.

Exploit code for a vulnerability that exists in the WPS to RTF converter in Microsoft Office 2003 has been released. The flaw could be exploited by means of a maliciously crafted WPS file and can enable an attacker to take complete control of an affected system. WPS is the extension used by Microsoft Works.
This flaw came about due to stack overflow error in the function that is used to read from WPS files. When the size of the TEXT section is modified to a number longer than 0x10, a stack overflow results.
Exploitation will obviously require that the affected converters be installed. In a corporate environment, the converters are usually set to be installed from hard disk on first use but, for most users, the prompt for the installation media might help mitigate the seriousness of this flaw.
Microsoft has officially addressed this vulnerability in Security
Bulletin MS08-011 in its monthly security release for the month of February. Users should be unaffected if they have Office 2003 SP3 installed, according to security researcher iDefense.
If this is your cup of tea, you can take a look at the WPS exploit code here.

The D.C. Council voted Tuesday to raise income tax on the District's highest-earning residents.
Individuals who make $350,000 or more will get placed into a higher tax bracket of 8.95 percent. The new tax rate will go into effect at start of the new fiscal year, which begins in October.
The current rate for the top bracket is at 8.5 percent for people making $40,000 or more. An estimated 6,000 will be affected by the change.
The Council chose not to impose a retroactive tax on out-of-state bonds, a move which critics said would have unfairly impacted seniors on fixed incomes.
The tax raise, which will help to balance the District's budget for the next year, came after bitter debate. After a session in which personal barbs were exchanged, the measure was approved by a 7-6 vote.
The higher income tax is expected to bring in $106 million over four years, at which it would expire.
Councilman Phil Mendelson, who introduced the hike, said it's sound policy to make the income tax rate more progressive rather than making the bond tax retroactive.
The Council also saw several bills relating to ethics Tuesday. Measures to limit political fundraising, to restrict the size of constituent service funds and to place tighter control over legal defense funds were introduced.
The Council did not take up votes for any of those ethics bills.
Council Member-at-Large Vincent Orange introduced a measure that would have given council members a $45,000 raise but required them to give up any other jobs and be limited to two terms in office. Orange withdrew his bid for the pay raise, but kept the other measures in his proposed law.

First lady Michelle Obama slammed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in a campaign speech for Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire Thursday, saying his controversial comments about women were "cruel" and should not be dismissed as "locker room banter."
"This is not something we can ignore, not something we can sweep under the rug," Obama said, referring to a vulgar conversation Trump had with former "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush in 2005.
"This has shaken me to my core in a way I could not have predicted," the first lady said of Trump's words.
U.S. & World
Later, President Barack Obama joined in the anti-Trump rhetoric, ridiculing the Republican party at a Democratic rally in Columbus, Ohio, for standing by Trump through many other scandals.
"They've been riding this tiger for a long time. They've been feeding their base all kinds of crazy for years," the president said.
He compared party members coming out against Trump's remarks for women to the character from the classic movie "Casablanca" who is "shocked that there is gambling in this establishment."
Obama also had kind words for his wife's speech, saying marrying Michelle is an example of getting married to "improve your gene pool."
Michelle Obama's speech did not have the same moments of levity, while speaking at a Clinton campaign event at Southern New Hampshire University in Hooksett
"The idea you can do anything you want to a woman, it is cruel," she said. "It is frightening."
Michelle Obama also made passing reference to a number of women who came forward by Wednesday night to accuse Trump of inappropriate sexual behavior, as evidence the tape is not an isolated incident. Trump has fervently denied he acted inappropriately toward any of the women who came forward.
"Now is the time for all of us to stand up and say enough is enough," she said. "This has got to stop right now."
While she didn't mention her husband, she said Trump's comments did not reflect how the men in her family discuss women.
"I can tell you the men in my life do not talk about women like this. I know my family is not unusual," she said adding, "they are loving fathers who are sickened by the thought of their daughters being exposed to this kind of vicious language about women."
Clinton's daughter, Chelsea Clinton, also campaigned for her mother in Maine and Massachusetts on Thursday.
"Access Hollywood" is owned and distributed by NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News, MSNBC and this station.

A Ravenswood convenience store clerk could honestly tell her bosses she had a 'crappy' evening last Wednesday night after a difficult customer allegedly decided to deface the store's bathroom using his own feces.
A Ravenswood convenience store clerk could honestly tell her bosses she had a "crappy" evening after a difficult customer allegedly decided to deface the store's bathroom using his own feces.
According to the complaint filed by Ravenswood Police Patrolman B.A. Fox, on March 17, Randy Holcomb, 42, entered Gary's Beverage & Video appearing very intoxicated.
The complaint states the Holcomb repeatedly called the clerk "Honey" and kept asking her if he could use the store's bathroom. The clerk refused to allow Holcomb to use the restroom, as it was marked for employees only. However Holcomb allegedly ignored the denial and went into the bathroom anyway. After using the restroom, Holcomb left the store.
After Holcomb left, the clerk said she began to smell a "terrible odor" coming from the bathroom. When she went to check the bathroom, she discovered feces smeared all over the walls, floor, doorknob, light switch and toilet itself. The clerk reported that there was toilet paper available in the restroom. She did not report whether or not Holcomb had flushed prior to leaving.
The clerk then called the police to inform them of the situation, and they responded to the scene. After the police began a search for Holcomb, the clerk reportedly had to spend a considerable time cleaning and sanitizing the entire bathroom.
Based on the condition of the scene and the information provided, Fox obtained a warrant for Holcomb's arrest on one misdemeanor count of destruction of property. Holcomb was arrested on the warrant and arraigned.
According to Reynolds, Holcomb had recently received a 90-day suspended jail sentence for an unrelated matter.

STOCKTON - City Hall has fallen two years behind in filing standard state reports on its finances and accounting.
STOCKTON - City Hall has fallen two years behind in filing standard state reports on its finances and accounting.
On Wednesday, the office of California Controller John Chiang sent letters to nine cities, including Stockton, telling them they had until Dec. 31 to file delinquent documents.
Sixteen months ago, Stockton filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection. It was the largest city in the nation to do so at the time. In the aftermath, Chiang's office audited the city's books.
Chiang's August report criticized the city's "ill-informed and weak accounting management." City Manager Bob Deis fired back that the controller was "just another political operative."
Jacob Roper, a spokesman for Chiang's office, said there was no connection between Wednesday's warning letter and the earlier exchange.
"We look at every local government through the same lens," Roper said. "We have been in contact with Stockton for months. The bottom line is that extra time has already been extended. The controller is giving them another 21/2 months, which should give them ample time for what should be a basic report."
Stockton has yet to file its Financial Transactions Reports for 2010-11 and 2011-12. The reports, as required by government code, are due within 90 days of the June 30 close of each fiscal year.
"We have acknowledged publicly, in a response to the state Controller's audit report, in a report to the grand jury and in discussions at council audit committee meetings, that our reports are overdue," Connie Cochran, a city spokeswoman, said in a written statement.
She also said the City Council has approved a "robust" work plan to improve internal controls.
"We are working with our internal auditor, Moss Adams, to implement the work plan. In fact, improving the internal-controls environment is one of the last pieces of meeting the city's goal of getting our fiscal house in order," Cochran said.
She said Stockton will file its overdue reports by the end of the year.
Each agency faces a potential fine of $5,000 for each delinquent document.
The report, among other things, calls for information on total city revenue, expenditures, long-term debt, assessed valuation of property and a breakdown of sales and use tax.
"We understand that many local governments are facing a lot of obstacles right now," Roper said. "That's why we offered the grace period. This letter is one final gesture to let them know what consequences will arise if they don't meet the requirement of the law."
Earlier this month, Deis announced an agreement with Assured Guaranty Corp. involving $164 million the city owes the insurer. Deals have been struck with 15 of 19 major creditors to restructure Stockton's debt.
Deis said in a best-case scenario the city could emerge from bankruptcy within six months.
Chiang's letter went to nine cities and 117 special districts, most of them very small. The next largest city was La Habra (population 61,000) in Orange County.
Chiang's letter warns that agencies failing to file the annual report may be subject to investigation. He also said, "Failure to file ... for two or more successive reporting periods suggests the absence of internal controls and fiduciary diligence."
Two special districts in San Joaquin County - the Lathrop-Manteca Fire Protection District and the Thornton Fire Protection District - also received warning letters.
So did the Mokelumne Hill Sanitary District and Altaville-Melones Fire Protection District in Calaveras County.
Chiang's letter also put noncompliance in perspective:
� Of 58 California counties, all 58, including San Joaquin, are in compliance.
� Of 4,719 special districts, 4,602 are in compliance.
� Of 482 cities in California, 473 are in compliance.

KAISERSLAUTERN, GERMANY -- During the first month of using the new Air Force fitness standards, some 20 percent of airmen failed the revised physical fitness test in July—double the rate of airmen who failed the old test.
Air Force representatives said the results still were better than they anticipated, based on a sampling of airmen unofficially tested under the new standards earlier this year. The Air Force previously speculated that the failure rate could be as high as 33 percent.
"We are encouraged that the failure rate is not as high as we expected," Chief Master Sgt. Mark Long, chief of enlisted promotions, evaluations and fitness, told Stars and Stripes.
On a positive note, about 40 percent of the airmen who took the new test received scores of 90 or higher out of 100 points, which also was double the rate under the old standards. In June, the Air Force revised the new standards so airmen who earn an overall score of 90 or above will only be required to take the physical fitness test once a year, instead of twice per year.
The Air Force is currently analyzing data to determine which parts of the new test gave airmen the most trouble, Long told Stars and Stripes.
The roughly 6,000 airmen who failed the new fitness test (out of 30,000 active-duty, Guard and Reserve troops tested) will have 90 days to try again. Those who fail the test are required to enroll in a healthy living program that targets nutritional education and behavioral changes regarding exercise.

The report use ozone measurement data retrieved in the Arctic with balloon borne ozone sondes for the last 20-30 years. Four stations with the best data series have been selected. Using a Monte Carlo method the yearly period is subtracted from the data and the remains, the anomalies, are correlated towards the area of the Polar Front, the temperature rise of the Nortern Hemisphere and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and towards one another. It was found that the NAO correlates negatively with ozone anomalies for all four stations albeit the correlations are weak. Besides, the polar front area correlates weakly positive with the ozone anomalies for three out of the four stations. These results, together with the observation that the ozone-anomalies have a brief decorrelation time, indicate that most of the variability in the anomalies should be found in local conditions.
Ozone soundings from 9 Nordic stations with rather different data coverage have been homogenized followed by an interpolation to standard tropospheric pressure levels. A Bayesian model was applied which included a low-frequency variability, an annual cycle with harmonics, the possibility for variability in seasonal amplitude and phasing, and noise. Regarding the low-frequency variability it was found that only Scoresbysund, Ny Aalesund and Sodankyla showed statistical significant changes with a maximum near 2007 followed by a decrease. We hypothesize that this decrease could be explained by an observed decrease in nitrogen oxide in Europe.

WILLIAMS will go head-to-head with long-time rival RICHARD, who has a World Ranking of #3, one behind WILLIAMS and is second seed at this event. WILLIAMS and RICHARD have begun an epic battle on the international match racing circuit, coming up against each other several times in the past year and will continue to fight it out at the Winter Challenge event.
With the score 2-1 in WILLIAMS favour - WILLIAMS beat Richard in the final of the Bermuda-based ISAF Grade WC King Edward II Gold Cup, RICHARD beat WILLIAMS in the semi-final of the ISAF Grade WC Monsoon Cup, Malaysia and WILLIAMS beat RICHARD again at the semi-final of the ISAF Grade 1 Auckland Match Racing Cup - RICHARD will be pulling out all the stops to even the score.
Other Strong Contenders
Strong contenders this weekend will also include Briton and finalist, Mark CAMPBELL-JAMES. Also in contention and hoping to secure the two remaining places in the final is world #10 Staffan LINDBERG (FIN). Another potential finalist includes Peter WIBROE (DEN), who has shown consistent top five finishes throughout the circuit this year.
The remaining international field includes, Johnie BERNTSSON (SWE), eighth in last year's final, Rasmus VILTOFT (DEN), Jure OREL (SLO), Eric MONNIN (SUI) and British sailor Christian HAMILTON, looking to make his mark this weekend after losing out in the earlier rounds of this series.
With four Britons, WILLIAMS, Andy GREEN, CAMPBELL-JAMES and John GREENLAND, already booked in for the final, it should be a strong weekend of racing as the remaining European contingent aims to secure the last two spots in the final.
The series continues on the following dates:
Women's Winter Challenge: 23-25 February 2007, ISAF Grade 2
Winter Challenge Final: 9-11 March 2007, ISAF Grade 2

* Cohen not seen pulling back or retiring
* Seven former SAC employees charged or implicated in
insider trading
* Authorities have not alleged wrongdoing by Cohen himself
* SAC outperforming many other hedge funds this year
By Svea Herbst-Bayliss, Katya Wachtel and Emily Flitter
NEW YORK, Dec 3 (Reuters)
Hedge fund industry titan Steven A. Cohen appears to have
made up his mind about one thing - he has no plans to do
anything but run his $14 billion SAC Capital Advisors even as
U.S. authorities are breathing down his neck.
Over the past week, Cohen, long envied on Wall Street for
his years of double-digit returns, has absorbed a one-two punch
as yet another of his former managers was arrested on insider
trading charges and U.S. securities regulators warned they may
file civil charges against his 20-year-old hedge fund firm.
For many managers, this kind of news would have been
personally devastating and might have prompted a retreat.
But if anyone thought the 56-year-old billionaire might
use the heightened regulatory scrutiny as reason to retire early
and close up shop, they are mistaken.
That is the message Cohen conveyed to investors on a call
last Wednesday. Employees of SAC heard from him a
day later. These people said it is business as usual at
Stamford, Connecticut-based SAC, where employees have grown
accustomed to drawing scrutiny from federal authorities for
several years now.
To date, federal authorities have charged or implicated
seven former employees of SAC Capital with insider trading while
working at the firm, but have not alleged any wrongdoing by
Cohen himself.
The criminal and civil charges filed on November 20th
against Mathew Martoma come closest to Cohen because authorities
allege the SAC Capital owner personally signed off on the trades
by Martoma that generated profits and avoided losses totaling
$276 million.
But securities lawyers said the government may have a tough
time finding evidence that Cohen knew Martoma had relied on
illegal information to trade, and that may bolster Cohen's
resolve not to make any radical changes at SAC.
And his results remain good. His main fund has returned 10
percent this year, while hedge funds on average have risen only
5 percent according to industry tracker HFR.
"Managing hedge funds is in Steve Cohen's blood," said Don
Steinbrugge, managing partner at Agecroft Partners, a hedge fund
industry consulting and marketing firm. "He is one of the most
successful managers in the history of the industry. I would
expect him to fight the accusations with all of the energy he
The early indications are that most of Cohen's outside
investors, which include an investment fund managed by private
equity firm Blackstone Group, aren't looking for the
exits. His 900 employees also don't appear ready to move on
either, according to investor sources and Wall Street
One investor said he was reassured when SAC President Tom
Conheeney emphasized on Wednesday's call that the possible
charges would be civil and not criminal, giving the investor the
feeling that the accusations of insider trading may not be as
"big a deal as it was being made out to be."
The firm declined to comment beyond the statement made
following Martoma's arrest. In that statement, the firm said:
"Mr. Cohen and SAC are confident that they have acted
Before the investor call, there had been some speculation on
Wall Street that Cohen might tell investors he planned to return
their money.
With outside investors making up only 40 percent of the
fund's assets, Cohen could easily follow in the footsteps of
elder industry statesmen George Soros and Carl Icahn and convert
his firm into a family office where he invests only his personal
fortune. At least $6 billion of SAC Capital's money is believed
to be Cohen's.
Certainly, Cohen, doesn't need to keep working for other
investors. Twice married, and with seven children, he has a
personal fortune estimated at $8.8 billion as of September this
year, according to Forbes.
In recent years, he's become an avid art collector, with a
number of Jeff Koons sculptures gracing the grounds of his
30-room mansion in Greenwich, Conn. Cohen, who grew up on Long
Island in Great Neck, New York, is also pursuing the kind of
charitable legacy building done by other famous Wall Street
money managers. In 2010, the North Shore-LIJ's pediatric
hospital was renamed the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children's
Medical Center of New York, after Cohen and his second wife in
recognition of their donations.
More recently, he took a minority ownership stake in the New
York Mets baseball team after failing to win the rights to buy
another team, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
But people who know Cohen say that even while he has scaled
back his involvement some in the firm's day-to-day trading, he's
not the kind of person to leave it all behind.
That's even more the case with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Federal Bureau of Investigation continuing to
look into allegations of improper trading at SAC Capital
-something the FBI has been doing since 2007.
In the complaint against Martoma, the fund manager who
allegedly used illegal tips from a doctor to sell shares in two
healthcare companies and save SAC roughly a quarter of a billion
dollars in losses, the government said Cohen was intimately
involved in the sales.
Securities defense lawyers said that one important thing
that was absent from the complaint was evidence suggesting Cohen
knew the source of Martoma's information.
"The SEC and the government have had quite a bit of success
against some of the insider trading cases they've prosecuted.
But the SEC has also been taking a lot of hits in recent years,"
said Stephen Plotnick, a partner at law firm Carter Ledyard &
The government said Martoma and Cohen spoke by telephone on
a Sunday in the summer of 2008 about Martoma's plan to sell
SAC's holdings in Elan and Wyeth, now owned by Pfizer.
For Cohen's managers, calls on Sunday afternoons are nothing
unusual, and are in fact a regular part of the job. The work
week at SAC generally begins then with rigorous grillings from
Cohen about managers' "best ideas" and strongest convictions on
stocks and other securities.
People who know Cohen said given the magnitude of the
position Martoma was moving, it would be impossible for the boss
not to be personally involved in the trade. Martoma earned a
$9.3 million bonus in 2008, based largely on his success in
trading Elan and Wyeth.
There's no evidence in either the criminal complaint or
civil complaint filed by the SEC that Martoma told Cohen how he
came to his decision to recommend reversing the hedge fund's
view on Elan and Wyeth and why he had soured on the clinical
drug trial being conducted by the two companies on an Alzheimer
treatment drug.
While these people familiar with the firm, some of whom used
to work for Cohen, said the manager would want to know the
rationale for the decision, it's possible that Martoma simply
said it had come from an industry consultant he had been working
If the government were to bring a case against SAC, it would
have to offer up a raft of evidence to win, the lawyers said.
Even if Martoma were to take a plea and cooperate, something he
does not seem inclined to do, his testimony alone might not be
enough to pursue a case against Cohen.
"They'll need documents," said Plotnick. "Juries like
documents. You can attack people for cooperating with the
government in various ways, but documents are another thing."

I have a "minecraft" server in my pc. and i am writing a tunnel to block some actions from the players.
so, the client's connect to my program, and i foward all bytes received, to the server, and the same when the server send something to the client.
while ((bytesRead = In.read(byteBuffer)) != -1) { if (Debug.dmode && isClient ) { //System.out.println("byte %d" + totalBytesMoved); //System.out.println(stringToHex(new String(byteBuffer))); //System.out.println(byteBuffer[0]); } Out.write(byteBuffer, 0, bytesRead); Out.flush(); }
It works, i can play the game with the tunnel working, and print only the bytes that the client send to the server.
The problem is, i want to block an specific action, (destroying block from a certain area - if you know the game), and i cant understand the actions from the bytes.. i tried so many times to see the bytes, but look like its not the same to same action, because maybe the content, like position of the player, are in 2 or more bytes.
anybody have any idea of how to do it?
Thx for all.
sorry for the english

VANCOUVER, WA -- Sherborne Investors, which gained control over the board of Nautilus Inc. in a proxy fight last year, has increased its stake in the Vancouver, WA-based company.
Sherborne now holds about 9.4 million shares of Nautilus stock, according to the Puget Sound (WA) Business Journal. Sherborne has increased its ownership of Nautilus stock from 26.7 percent in April to 30.8 percent.
The investor group bought an additional 950,000 shares between Nov. 7 and Nov. 13 at prices ranging from $1.79 per share to $2.33 per share, the newspaper reports. Shares of Nautilus stock have a 52-week high of $7.12 per share.
Edward Bramson led the proxy fight last December as Sherborne, which owned 23.5 percent of Nautilus stock at the time, won four of the seven board positions in the December shareholder election. Two of the seats were Sherborne partners, and two were independent directors nominated by Sherborne. Bramson was named to replace Robert Falcone as CEO in March.

Letters to Redmond
Readers chime in on the rise of online news outlets and what that means for print.
Just like the microwave didn't throw the oven out of the kitchen, the Internet
won't kill print media -- but it will considerably reduce its power. I don't
subscribe to a newspaper and have very few printed magazines (including Redmond,
of course!). I get all my news through the Internet, radio and TV (in that order).
If I want to read while on the throne, I bring my wireless laptop.
There will always be books and magazines because some people won't part from
them, but they'll be the minority. What I'm worried about is losing our history.
Right now I can go to a library and search newspapers from 75 years ago and
see the news of that time.
What about 75 years from now? Will we be able to browse the Web site of today?
Probably not. And he who forgets his history is bound to repeat the same mistakes
Louis Vincent
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Let's start at the positive end of Doug Barney's article: I agree with him
50 percent. I enjoy reading tangible items such as newspapers, magazines and
books. I can't force myself to read an eBook to save my life. A majority of
the Web sites he mentions (Drudge in particular) do receive their information
in the form of print publications. But I have an issue with his stance on bloggers.
He refers to them as "amateurs." Amateurs in regard to what -- journalism?
Wouldn't Barney place himself in this category as well? I mean, all he really
does is print information that he gathered from printed material given to him
by Microsoft and other companies.
He also mentions the term "annoying." Does someone force him to read
these blogs? Bloggers are the Internet's version of journalists. They find information,
post information and give opinionated comments on the subject matter. Isn't
this what he's done by "printing" this article for all to read? He
gives an example of Moby's blog not being "news." If I read something
on a blog -- or even a printed publication such as this magazine -- I research
it. I don't believe everything I read, whether it comes from bloggers or Redmond.
And it's "news" to me if I didn't know about it.
I think it's shortsighted of him to lump bloggers into the "amateur and
annoying" category. That's a very broad stroke Barney painted.
Michael D. Alligood
Jacksonville, Fla.
I finished reading Doug Barney's editorial piece on print versus the Web as
a news source and I think he's spot on in his assessment. I prefer the look
and feel of the print media. He mentions many of the pet peeves I have with
online news but he left out one of the biggest annoyances in my opinion -- stupid,
online advertisements!
With print, I can easily turn the page if I don't want to read an advertisement.
In many articles on the Web they're placed right smack-dab in the middle of
the text. They break up the flow of an article and make it more difficult to
comprehend. For crying out loud, does everyone have ads today? Yes, I know that's
how Web sites generate revenue, but [they should] stick the ads on the borders
or somewhere where they aren't so intrusive.
Bill O'Reilly
Seattle, Wash.
I purposefully avoid eReading when possible and print every online admin manual
that comes my way. Doesn't PDF stand for "Print da file?"
I enjoyed Barney's column so much I think I'd like to link it in my blog!
... not!
