Can Big Data Help Universities Tackle Security, BYOD?
Universities have some of the most complex IT infrastructures around, and BYOD is a reality they can't escape. Chief Security Officers at universities are increasingly turning to Big Data analytics technologies to mine the data in their logs and improve their security footing.
Tue, July 31, 2012
CIO — Providing information security for a university is no easy task. Universities must serve large, ever-evolving distributed populations relying mostly on a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) model. Faced with such a daunting challenge, a number of universities are turning to Big Data analytics to tackle the problem.
"As with other universities, we have tens of thousands of users representing an even larger population of networked devices," says Cam Beasley, chief information security officer (CISO) of the University of Texas at Austin. "We have a constant need to identify anomalous user account behavior, detect, locate and quarantine compromised systems in real-time, and correlate events across multiple logging environments to more fully understand potential problems or threats."
UT Austin's Information Security Office (ISO) analysts used to rely primarily on intrusion detection/prevention system (IDS/IPS) appliances and custom developed software tools to monitor the problem. But it was slow and unwieldy; moreover, it didn't fully leverage the goldmine of data ISO had in the form of its log data.
"We wanted to plug into the many different servers and devices downstream that were coming under attack to correlate our network information with actual system log data," Beasley explains. "We didn't want a big, heavy SIEM [security information and event management] product because we hadn't had much luck with them in the past. We needed a more flexible system that we could adapt to our unique needs."
Jason Pufahl, CISO of the University of Connecticut, faced a similar problem.

"Ultimately, every time we needed to do any kind of data mining, it was half a dozen sources using a variety of different tools," he says. "It could only be done by one or two different people [who had the skills to do it]."
Big Data Analytics Helps Universities Mine Log Data
Like more than 275 universities around the world, UT Austin and UConn turned to Splunk.
"Universities have some of the most complex IT infrastructures in the world, and this makes them extremely vulnerable," says Mark Seward, senior director of security and compliance marketing at Splunk. "It's the ultimate BYOD situation. Security threats are constantly evolving. Splunk collects massive amounts of data and helps users detect unknown and persistent threats."

Get your box set via P.O. Box! With dusty product offerings, outdated formats, and an aging demographic, the privately-owned company has nowhere to go but the selling block.
If you're up at night channel-surfing around the tube, you'll still see them: half-hour infomercials of softly-lit couples, hand-in-hand, running on the beach, or peppy teens in varsity jackets pulling into a drive-in, peddling 10-disc compilations like "Malt Shop Memories," "Flower Power," or "Ultimate Love Songs."
In an age where retail businesses live or die depending on how they adapt to digital media, Time Life remains a precious anomaly. The purveyor of nostalgic merchandise, sold by Fortune parent company Time Inc., to private equity firm Ripplewood Holdings and ZelnickMedia, an investor group, in 2003, continues to market and sell collections of vintage media in dying formats. While it does have a Facebook presence, Twitter stream, website, and blog, the company has yet to plant both feet in the 21st century.
Care for that Patsy Cline box collection in your iTunes? Too bad. There are no digital downloads -- only CD and DVD sets sent via snail mail. There are no alternative methods of payment like BillMeLater or even PayPal, either -- just credit cards. It's as if all the technological advancements of the past decade never happened. More

I had the opportunity to use the Mundu IM service on my iPhone 3G and found that it worked quite well. I was able to log in to my instant-messaging services without a problem, and upon doing so, I found that chatting with others through the software was quick and just as simple as chatting with them on my desktop.
where Mundu IM really shines is in its extras. The service allows you to share pictures taken from your phone with friends, transfer files, and cross-conference with contacts across IM services, making it much simpler to talk with people, regardless of their preferred IM software.

I've had my Treo 650 for a couple of months now and I've tried a lot of stuff with it but this is the absolute coolest app yet.
I don't know about you, but I'm starting to find text messaging on a mobile a little boring. I'm always trying to inject a little more variety into my communication so I thought I'd give Mundu Montage a go.
The app is designed to enhance messaging between mobile devices, and allows you to create rich visually content to share with your buddies. You'll need to register online first to make full use of the service, but this is free so it's OK by me.
The program itself basically consists of a blank canvas with several tools for adding stuff to this board to create 'montages'. You can either choose to draw directly onto the canvas, or snap an area of the screen and add it to the overall design.
The drawing tools are pretty limited though, and you can only really doodle in freehand as there are no shape or line-drawing tools. There are a few brush colours to choose from though, and you can change the width of the stroke. Still, it's ideal if you're just annotating images I guess.
The snapshot facility works well, and with the inclusion of a 'OneTap' feature, you can share images with your contacts in a snap. Importing your contacts from your Yahoo!, GMail, AOL or MSN accounts is a breeze too.
If you're looking for a way of sprucing up your messages, Mundu Montage provides a pretty simple means of doing so.
It's amazing!!! You can add any station you want as long as it is transmitting in mp3 format! I have add four russian stations and all of them work as a charm!!!
So far we've covered a number of Web-based IM clients built for the iPhone. There's the lightweight Heysan, TinyBuddy (which uses the iUi guidelines to mimic the iPhone's sliding style interface and adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to login via AOL's own Web-based authentication), and JiveTalk, which mimics the Mac OS X iChat interface to some extent.
Enter Mundu IM iPhone Edition from Geodesic (an Indian company that's already created some great Web apps including Mundu Radio and IM clients for other mobile platforms). We've tested the new client briefly, and found that it combines most of what's good in the extant IM offerings while leaving out the bad. Here's some of what we like about it:
- Tabbed chats: When you're in on conversation, other conversations appears as scrollable tabs at the top of the screen. The best implementation of multi-user chatting we've seen yet.
- Smooth, fast operation: This is the best behaving IM client for the iPhone we've tested. The interface is responsive, responses are quick to load, and tapping a contact name almost immediately brings up a new chat. We also found the client to be usable over AT&T's EDGE network, where some other competitors certainly aren't.
- Polished interface: Chats appear in conversation bubbles, akin to iChat. Away and status messages are neatly displayed, unlike some other clients that do a poor job rendering the text. There is also clear indication in a small icon next to each buddy regarding away status. Further, Mundu organizes buddies into AIM bots, normal buddies, mobile devices, etc.
- Multi-protocol support: Though its not unique in this regard, Mundu can hold chats on the big four IM services: MSN, Yahoo, AIM and Gtalk.
Mundu's got a slick, multiclient IM for iPhone
Amid the growing group of instant-messaging solutions for the IM-less iPhone, Mundu (a Webware 100 winner) has just released a new contender that handles four of the most popular chatting protocols with a fantastic interface. If you're an iPhone user, just navigate your Safari browser to http://iphone.mundu.com, which takes you to a log-in screen with access to your AIM, Yahoo, MSN, .Mac, and Google Talk accounts. You can log into all of them simultaneously, although there's no master password system like you get with Meebo.
Each client gets its own buddy list, and any additional conversations get their own tabs. To start a conversation, just tap a user name of one of your friends who is logged in. There's a simple form that pulls up the iPhone's keyboard when clicked. Similar to the iPhone's built-in SMS app and iChat, conversations show up as color-coded speech bubbles that can be scrolled back and forth with your finger. The refresh rate is also instantaneous, so you don't have to keep reloading the page to see new comments from your friends.
The whole app has a very organic feel that's just right. It's one of the few IM apps I've used on the iPhone where it doesn't feel like you're fighting an interface to make it feel like a desktop app. I also have to give Mundu credit for creating a neat bubbly effect on the chat tab when you've got an unread message. Sometimes it's just the little things that make Web apps more fun to use. In this case, the function is just as good as the form.

Beautifully made. It would be more useful, however, if it had a plunge capability. Everything I will use this for involves multiple passes in a tiny, critically precise space. Pretty hard to get the bit to plunge without dings after every adjustment.
An excellent tool for any fine woodworking. I make Native American flutes and this is just the tool I need for making the precision wind way.
very nice product, nicely machined great set up for a good price router base,edge guide, air pump,binding Bit, the one thing that would make it better is plunge capabuility i highly recomend, have not found a better one on the market.
My favorite Dremel accessory. Does a clean work for bindings and inlays.
I bought my precision router base kit back in 2010. and I've used it well. but recently, it was knocked off my bench and broke both studs at the base plate. (those studs could use a bit more "beef" there) but Stew mac sent me a new pair of studs with no fuss or explanation required. THANK YOU Stew-Mac for a great tool AND stellar service!
This was used on my recent F-5 mandolin. The inlay was intimidating at first but after scribing the outline the Precision base made it stable and easy to rout out the design. Also adjusting the depth was simple. Highly recommended!
My cousin & I are progressing NICELY on our first guitar kit! His router slid right into a groove after just a few sample passes on scrap lumber. The Base Kit performed better / easier than we expected, with clear, precise cuts. We did NOT use for inlays...yet ... Recommend your practice cuts (for other newbies) be performed on curved scrap with the same radius as your upper bout. Both of the curves were tighter & cross grain & need some "experience" before addressing your project. (the depth of cut was a tad shallow). We were very satisfied. Gary & John
First of, this is overseas, how much faster do you want it? Just a few days, very cool! thumbs up! The tool however has a small flaw. The baseplate has a ding in it! This will definitly leave scratches on wood and/or finish. It looks like the baseplate was not carefully handled. It was packaged fine, so it must have gotten damaged somewhere in the production process... Also the edges of the base are very sharp, again this will likely increase the risk of scratches here and there. No worries, the base is made of aluminium, a little sandpaper will do wonders. But for the price the base should have been flawless/smooth I believe. Hence the 4 stars. I purchased it with the Foreman motor and handpiece, impressive!
JHG Guitars,
We apologize that the router base had a ding. We've inspected our stock. If you can't sand it out or aren't getting great results with your setup, please contact us so we can send a replacement. Thank you for your order!
This is so well made and so nice to look at that I was reluctant to use it! However when I got it all put together with the Dremel, the guide and the bit it all worked perfectly. Really well made, the only slight thing you have to watch is that the yolk holding the Dremel is parallel with the base when you lock it in place.
I followed the instructions and tightend all the screws as instructed and after a minute of trimming (I tried to trim binding for a neck) the screws just loosened and I routed into the neck (I lost a perfectly good neck a a fingerboard). Beware !!!! I'm buying Stewmac tools since I've started building. This is by far the worst product I've encountered. Stewmac has much better quality product than this one.

Not you greg, how did you get that?
I meant a Church (or a top head in the church) telling parishioners they can or can't do something, morally speaking.
The church is still going through a lot of hypocrisy right now.
But people do take merit way too lightly and then they wonder why they achieve no results.
So, apart from impure, masturbation is demeritorious as well? Some scripture to back that one?

The fact that a discussion of the morality of pornography can't be had, without that accusation being made, says something"
I agree with you totally. Secularism is the new religion, the net is flooded by porn so where's all this supposed guilt? Most people revel and celebrate sex unashamedly. It's everywhere, it saturates the media, people talk and joke about it constantly. As far as I can see there's not much guilt around at all.

I've recently finished the BFL book and am a little confused on one point maybe someone could help me with. I have a BMI of about 24.8, so just barely in the normal range with an average build at 5 ft 8 in and 163 lbs. I'm primarily interested in building muscle and also improving overall endurance. I understand Bill Phillips prefers morning workouts and i would like to try the same but says to do what you can stick to. However many people have told me if I work out on an empty stomach my body will eat away muscle fiber not just fat. Since you can't eat right before a workout when are you supposed to eat if you do a morning workout and have to be at work early? Should I have a snack in the middle of the night? I'm confused about when to eat to build muscle.
Personally, I eat within 15 minutes to an hour after my morning workouts. It is best to eat within 30-45 minutes after a weightlifting workout to help your body build/repair muscle (you need to be sure to eat quality protein!). I think that after a cardio workout, you can eat up to an hour later for proper recovery, but I usually eat within 30 minutes no matter what my workout was, just due to time constraints I have.
I'm sure others will be along to give you more advice, but that is what I do and it has always worked for me. Good luck on your upcoming challenge! :)
I have found that if I eat before a workout I will have more energy and therefore push more in the workout and burn more calories overall. I would suggest eating, but it doesn't have to be much. Half a banana a little before or try drinking the EAS protein shakes! Find what works best for you! :)
I usually have an EAS shake 45 mins after workouts with weights. I wait a little over an hour on cardio days.
Come visit my blog!
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you'll be right!
Thanks everyone!

Conservation Refugees
Since 1900, more than 108,000 officially protected conservation areas have been established worldwide, largely at the urging of five international conservation organizations. About half of these areas were occupied or regularly used by indigenous peoples. Millions who had been living sustainably on their land for generations were displaced in the interests of conservation. In Conservation Refugees, Mark Dowie tells this story.
This is a "good guy vs. good guy" story, Dowie writes; the indigenous peoples' movement and conservation organizations have a vital common goal—to protect biological diversity—and could work effectively and powerfully together to protect the planet and preserve species and ecosystem diversity. Yet for more than a hundred years, these two forces have been at odds. The result: thousands of unmanageable protected areas and native peoples reduced to poaching and trespassing on their ancestral lands or "assimilated" but permanently indentured on the lowest rungs of the economy.
Dowie begins with the story of Yosemite National Park, which by the turn of the twentieth century established a template for bitter encounters between native peoples and conservation. He then describes the experiences of other groups, ranging from the Ogiek and Maasai of eastern Africa and the Pygmies of Central Africa to the Karen of Thailand and the Adevasis of India. He also discusses such issues as differing definitions of "nature" and "wilderness," the influence of the "BINGOs" (Big International NGOs, including the Worldwide Fund for Nature, Conservation International, and The Nature Conservancy), the need for Western scientists to respect and honor traditional lifeways, and the need for native peoples to blend their traditional knowledge with the knowledge of modern ecology. When conservationists and native peoples acknowledge the interdependence of biodiversity conservation and cultural survival, Dowie writes, they can together create a new and much more effective paradigm for conservation.
About the Author
Award-winning journalist Mark Dowie is the author of Losing Ground: American Environmentalism at the Close of the Twentieth Century, American Foundations: An Investigative History (both published by the MIT Press), and four other books.
"Far from being a hysterical diatribe...this exceptionally researched and documented study provides authoritative guidance toward a diverse and sustainable future.", Richard W. Grefrath, Magill Book Reviews
"A beautiful balance of critique and sympathy."—Publishers Weekly
"Mark Dowie is, pound for pound, one of the best investigative journalists around."
Studs Terkel, author of Working
"As a journalist, Mark Dowie has always been a few steps ahead of the pack, and with Conservation Refugees he's once again staked out a difficult and fascinating terrain: the indigenous peoples that, all the way back to the founding of Yosemite, have been invisible or worse to the conservation movement. A vision of wilderness that makes no place for people has long held sway in environmental circles, but there are signs it is coming to an endand not a moment too soon. Dowie's book advances the critical work of developing a new, more encompassing vision of nature, which makes it one of the most important contributions to conservation in many years."
"In Conservation Refugees, Mark Dowie quotes delegates to the Fifth World Parks Conference: 'We were dispossessed in the name of kings and emperors, later in the name of state development, and now in the name of conservation.' Miwok, Basarwa, Ogiek, Mursiindigenous tribal peoples, like endangered species, are being driven to extinction. Their languages are swiftly dying and we're losing a huge resource in their invaluable knowledge derived from millennia in their respective homelands. Environmentalists, determined to preserve biological systems and entities, should now be equally driven to preserve aboriginal cultures. This is a most useful and important book."
William Kittredge, author of The Nature of Generosity
"Mark Dowie is one of the finest investigative journalists we have, and his talent has rarely been on better display than in this book. And not just because he has gone to all corners of the Earth to get his raw material. More than that, in typical Dowie fashion, he upends his readers' expectations about who's the good guy and who's the villain, and is not afraid to step on toes that more timid or conventional writers would avoid. He makes us rethink our usual one-size-fits-all assumptions about environmentalism, and in the process tells some moving and fascinating human stories."
Adam Hochschild, Graduate School of Journalism, University of California, Berkeley, author of The Mirror at Midnight: a South African Journey, and co-founder of Mother Jones Magazine
"Mark Dowie has written an important book that illuminates the dark side of the heroic profile of global conservation NGOs: biodiversity conservation has often been achieved, or at least attempted, at the expense of further impoverishing some of the poorest people on the planet. He effectively reveals the cruel dilemmas at the intersection of trying to maintain functional ecosystems with full suites of flora and fauna and efforts to alleviate crushing global poverty. In a sign of sea change, some ecologists are beginning to accept that this brutal exclusion was not always necessary for conservation ends, and that people and nature can survive and flourish together. Dowie makes a compelling argument that a new people-centered conservation is rising and needs to rise."
David Bray, Department of Environmental Studies, Florida International University
"Unlike a fine wine, Mark Dowie has not mellowed with age. This book proves it."
—John Passacantando, former Executive Director, Greenpeace USA

Schnucks is urging customers who used their credit or debit cards at one its stores between December and March to check with their bank to make sure their identities are secure.
Some banks recommend that cardholders cancel their old cards and replace them with new cards because people still could have problems months from now.
The Maryland Heights, Mo.-based grocery store chain reported that approximately 2.4 million customers who used a credit or debit cards at 79 of its stores in Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and Indiana between Dec. 10 and March 29 may have had their accounts compromised. Of those, some have had hundreds of dollars and others thousands of dollars stolen.
Schnucks' investigation found that an unidentified culprit had attained customers' card numbers and expiration dates, but not their names, and used the information to steal money from their accounts.
"It's still possible to see fraud stemming from initial incidents," Schnucks spokeswoman Lori Willis said. "We blocked incidents from going forward as of March 30, and we're asking customers to go back and talk to their bank."
The Illinois Attorney General's Office has received about a dozen inquiries and complaints about theft linked to purchases made through card transactions at Schnucks stores. Spokesman Scott Mulford said most of those cases were unauthorized charges and in all cases consumers' accounts were refunded.
"As far as the ongoing situation, we always tell consumers when asked if they have concerns about their cards issued through a bank or whatever, they can always request a new card," Mulford said.
"If there is any concern whatsoever, it certainly can't hurt."
Bank of America has taken a proactive approach. Bank spokeswoman Betty Reiss said the bank has a system in place that can detect potentially suspicious charges and will immediately contact the client.
"It's a good thing customers monitor their accounts and have access to accounts online and monitor them online," Reiss said. "If they see any transaction that was unauthorized, they should notify the card issuer right away. We want to protect our customers."
Seven metro-east area Schnucks stores in Swansea, Fairview Heights, O'Fallon, Granite City, Alton, Bethalto and Waterloo have reported customers who had their accounts compromised between December and March.
Schnucks customers with further questions can also call a special hotline: 1-888-414-8022.

service was terrible - my guest said I wasted their time!
We met friends at Nawlins on a Saturday night 6 pm. Service was pretty slow, and food was less than stellar. Had the catfish - it was soso. It was served on plastic plates, and was a little spicy - but needed much more spice. This was not what I was expecting from a place touting Cajun cooking. Our party tried to be polite - but jokes started to come out about the slow service and iffy food. A bit pricey for what you got. Drinks were a fair price and well made. If you are looking for a bar that serves food - it meets the criteria. If you are looking for a restaurant experience - you'll need to pass on this one.
The saving grace in my opinion is the live music. The rest of our party left by about 7:30, and my wife and I sat on the patio till about 10 - 10:30 listening to Rick Stahl - a talented local artist. He brings the rating to 2 stars (1.5 for him).
Gumbo lacks substance. Cuisine is fair but lacks authentic flavor.

Austin >Food & Dining > El Arroyo Northwest Hills
7032 Wood Hollow Dr, Austin, TX | Directions 7873130.352324 -97.753834
Neighborhoods: Northwest Hills Village
Great food! – I hadn't been there in years, but went over the weekend and the food was awesome. The Enchiladas Del Mar are the best I've had anywhere. I'm not sure why Citysearch shows this location as closed. The Round Rock location closed, but this one is still open.
Great Family Fun – My family is huge, we roll in there with like four adults and six kids (6 to almost 2 years of age). We have never had to wait for long and the kids love to bum rush the toys they have for them.
Besides the food being wonderful and service excellent I love the fact that they have something for the kids as well. Like I said we run around with six kids that all need to be entertained. So ya, for me the best part is that, but OK I am also grateful for the margaritas as well!
Thanks El Arroyo for being geniuses with the toy idea and making our eating out experience as enjoyable as possible!!
Great drinks specials on thursdays and Good food – I've been going here for a while now and it just seems to keep getting better and better. They have great drink specials on thursdays 99 cent margaritas. The food is amazing and they seat you very quickly I have never had to wait to be seated. The staff is cool
We Love Far WEST!!! – My boyfriend and I always choose to go to the far west location of el arroyo because the atmosphere is very casual and laid-back and the staff is always friendly! I have never been when a manager didn't stop by my table to make sure everything was perfect. They remember our names, the food is great, and we couldn't ask for better service! Not to mention the food is cheap but still great!
Great food AND Service – For all of you who are writing bad reviews, I can't even imagine why you would. I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant and didn't experience anything negative in the least bit. My food was great, as was my wife and kids'. Our service was awesome and everything went very smoothly (which never happens for me when I take my kids out).
So average.
Food is average, service is average, value is average, atmosphere is average.
I don't think you could get any more average.
Far West location of the local Tex-Mex fave with the funny sign. – In Short
This festive neighborhood spot can always be counted on for what El Arroyo does best: quantities of gooey, satisfying Tex-Mex, affordable prices and potent margaritas. Menu highlights include the infamously dense build-your-own queso, bacon-wrapped shrimp Diablo, seafood and spinach enchiladas, El Arroyo combo plates and poblano veggie burger. And who in a college town can argue with $1 breakfast tacos after a long night of partying? Brunch is also served from 10am to 3pm on weekends.
Dissapointing food, good drinks – I have been to the downtown location of El Arroyo and always had good experiences. I went to the Far West location yesterday and the food was terrible. I had the beef fajitas. The tortillas were stale and the beef was very dry. My boyfriend had the tortilla soup and fish tacos. I tried the soup and it was very bland. The fish in the tacos was flavorless and tasted even worse with the addition of a stale tortilla. On the upside, my strawberry swirl margarita was delicious.
YOUR MISSIN OUT – are you kidding me, this place is a hiddin gem....fantastic drink specials (cant beat dollar margaritas on thursdays)...the staff was super friendly and i fealt like they knew me already....although i was primarily there for work, i had a great time....they had wireless internet so i got even more done and still had time to watch the games....i definitaly recommend this place.
Very bad food – I was invited out to eat at El Arroyo. At the time I was pretty new to Austin, so I gave it a shot. The food is horrible and the beans taste canned. The only thing it has going for it are the cheap prices and dirt cheap alcohol. Keeps the college crowd around.

Visiting Tuscaloosa County found out the hard way as Oxford turned in another big offensive day in a 50-22 win in the first round of the Class 6A playoffs.
Oxford managed at least 50 points for the third time in five games and at least 41 points for the fifth time in six games.
After Tuscaloosa County scored on the opening drive for a 7-0 lead, Oxford managed four touchdowns on four drives for a 28-7 lead — helped along by an interception and Tuscaloosa County's failed fake punt and missed field goal.
"Anytime you score it builds momentum, but to do it four drives in a row, you could just sense momentum falling our way," Oxford coach Ryan Herring said. "Our offense the last three weeks has been amazing."
The Yellow Jackets (9-2) now will face Bob Jones on the road in the second round.
Oxford's Racean Thomas finished with 186 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Ty Webber threw for 137 yards and a score. Tredarrian Gamble had three receptions for 58 yards.
After Tuscaloosa County's initial touchdown, Thomas Rudolph returned the ensuing kickoff 41 yards to midfield, Thomas scored on a 38-yard touchdown three plays later.
An interception by Tae Davis on Tuscaloosa County's ensuing drive gave Oxford the ball at the Wildcats' 9-yard line following a 40-yard return. Webber hit Desmon Owens for a 20-yard touchdown four plays later to give Oxford the 14-7 lead. Tuscaloosa County (7-4) then turned over the ball on downs after faking a punt, giving Oxford the ball on the Wildcats' 39.
Webber punched it in on a quarterback sneak to end the drive.
Tuscaloosa County missed a field goal on its ensuing drive and Oxford's rhythm continued. Oxford traveled 80 yards down the field for its fourth consecutive score, this time from Thomas running it in from 8-yards out.
While the offense clearly shined, taking a 28-7 lead into halftime and only punting twice in the first half, Herring said it was the interception by Davis that really cranked the momentum in Oxford's favor.
"I've always believed and preached that interceptions are huge and the biggest way to take momentum from someone else," Herring said. "You saw what happened, all of a sudden it's 28-7."
Halftime didn't show Oxford's momentum down a bit.
On the second play of the second half, Devin Siplin recovered a fumble and returned it 32 yards for an Oxford score. After Franks hit Chase Pearson for a 5-yard Tuscaloosa County touchdown on its next drive, Thomas scored five plays later for the Yellow Jackets on a 35-yard run to give Oxford a 41-15 lead.
"Whenever the defense scores a touchdown it gets us hyped to go out there and try to put more touchdowns on the board," Thomas said.
Thomas' third touchdown was the offense's final score of the night, but Oxford's defense wasn't done.
Derek Mahaffey recovered a fumble deep in Oxford territory early in the fourth quarter and returned it 68 yards for a touchdown to give the Yellow Jackets a 48-22 lead. Oxford's final score came when it recorded a safety on Tuscaloosa County's ensuing drive.
"We were a little overmatched," Tuscaloosa County coach Lee Gibson said. "That's a very good football team we lost to and they could go a long way."

ON THIS PAGE: You will find a list of the common tests, procedures, and scans that doctors can use to find out what's wrong and identify the cause of the problem. To see other pages in this guide, use the colored boxes on the right side of your screen, or click "Next" at the bottom.
Many tests may be used to diagnose amyloidosis and find out which parts of the body are affected. Some tests may also determine which treatments may be the most effective. A biopsy is the only way to make a definitive diagnosis of amyloidosis. Imaging tests may be used to find out whether organs, such as the heart or kidneys, are affected. This list describes options for diagnosing this condition, but not all tests listed will be used for every person. Your doctor may consider these factors when choosing a diagnostic test:
- Age and medical condition
- Type of disease suspected
- Signs and symptoms
- Previous test results
In addition to a physical examination, the tests listed below may be used to diagnose amyloidosis. After these diagnostic tests are done, your doctor will review all of the results with you.
Heart evaluation. A heart evaluation, including an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) and an echocardiogram (echo), will look for structural abnormalities in the heart and examine the motion of the walls of the heart.
Laboratory tests. Doctors may take samples of the patient's blood and urine so that tests can be done to learn more about the patient's disease and general health.
Biopsy. A biopsy is the removal of a small amount of tissue for examination under a microscope. The sample removed during the biopsy is analyzed by a pathologist (a doctor who specializes in interpreting laboratory tests and evaluating cells, tissues, and organs to diagnose disease). A sample may be taken from abdominal fat or bone marrow (see below). A sample may also be taken from the liver, nerves, heart, kidneys, or rectum; however, these are more invasive procedures, and a patient will need to stay in the hospital for these tests. Other tests can suggest that amyloid proteins are present, but only a biopsy can make a definite diagnosis.
Bone marrow biopsy and aspiration. These two procedures are similar and often done at the same time. Bone marrow (the soft, spongy tissue that is found inside the center of bones) has both a solid and a liquid part. A bone marrow biopsy is the removal of a small amount of solid tissue using a needle. An aspiration removes a sample of fluid with a needle. The sample(s) are then analyzed by a pathologist. A common site for a bone marrow biopsy and aspiration is the pelvic bone, which is located in the lower back by the hip. The skin in that area is usually numbed with medication beforehand, and other types of anesthesia (medication to block the awareness of pain) may be used.
Ultrasound. An ultrasound uses sound waves to create a picture of the internal organs. Areas affected by amyloid protein make different echoes of the sound waves than healthy tissue does, so when the waves are bounced back to a computer and changed into images, the doctor can find these areas inside the body. An ultrasound of the abdominal area may be necessary to look for enlarged organs.
Choose "Next" (below, right) to continue reading this guide to learn about the different treatment options for this non-cancerous condition. Or, use the colored boxes located on the right side of your screen to visit any section.

I have try the Toto s300 and Brondell 700. I like the Toto much better. It has better water pressure changes, controls the water temp much better, seat is more comfortable and less splash on back of toilet seat. Also, you can adjust the wand, has deodorizer and dryer on Toto.
When adjusting the Brondell water pressure, there seems to be just one pressure and water temp doesn't stay a constant temp, usually from cold to very hot.
I highly recommend the Toto, definitely not the Brondell.

Celtics Morning Joe: Paul Pierce shows no emotions towards Celtics
|Posted by shawn cassidy on December 10, 2013 at 5:00 AM
A morning full of people lost in their lives perhaps waking up to an alarm that rests on their night stand. All of us wake with a clear mind, or until the morning coffee kicks in, and then were left with regret or love, and maybe just a touch of stress heading into work or waking up the kids to get them ready for school.
Sometimes people wake up and they can't feel nothing.Is there anything else to feel they think to themselves. This is what I call emotionless behavior. There's nothing that they can feel when it comes to the past and who they are. Paul Pierce may not be that guy 100%, but when it comes to the Celtics he's lost in his own stress with the Nets.
Who could blame him for not caring much about a game against the Celtics when the game is being played in Brooklyn. When the back story with Pierce. He spent 15 years with the Celtics and won a NBA title with a Finals MVP.
"I've already been past that a long time ago," Pierce said Monday. "I'm a person that's always been when it's time to move on, you move on. You can ask any girlfriend I've ever had. That's just the way it is. There's no hard feelings. I'm here. This is where I'm at now, and you've gotta move on. You can't mourn or put your head down. (You) just go to work."
Pierce has had a tough time adjusting to his new team. In 15 games with the Nets (6-14), he's averaging just 12.4 points on 36.8 percent shooting.
Pierce has missed the last five games due to a broken bone in his right hand. He thinks there's a "good chance" he'll play against the Celtics on Tuesday night at Barclays Center, but isn't certain.
"I've had my ups and downs, but it's not about me," Pierce said. "It's about getting this team healthy right now and trying to see if we can reach our potential.
"One of our goals before the season was to try and win a championship. Unfortunately, we didn't get off to the best start, and I probably haven't been playing the best basketball, due to some other minor injuries I've been dealing with. But I feel like as we continue to get healthy and guys come back and we get our chemistry, we're gonna be there toward the end."
Pierce still thinks the Nets have the potential to be a championship team.
"It's just putting it all together, developing chemistry, getting healthy and then seeing what we've got," he said. "We've seen flashes of it at times, but it's tough when you don't know who's going to be in the lineup and who's going to be out. But injuries happen to every team and it's something we have to deal with. But I'd like to see us when we get fully healthy and see what our potential can possibly be."
Pierce believes the Nets have a chance, and they might I suppose with the season being young and with the East so weak. The Hear are a fragile bunch with Wade already dealing with knee issues and some other health matters this season. The Pacers look near unstoppable at the moment though. Paul is so wrapped up with his problems on his own team that he doesn't have time to reflect on his career in Boston. He'll have time for that on January 26th when he returns to the Garden.

The Loews Corp. of today is a very different company from the one founded more than 50 years ago by brothers Laurence A. Tisch and Preston Robert Tisch. Under the brothers' stewardship, the hotel company has grown to include businesses as diversified as Lorillard, the U.S. cigarette maker; insurance provider CNA Financial Corp.; Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc., which operates one of the world's largest offshore drilling fleets; and Bulova Watch. So at the end of 1999, when the co-CEOs passed the leadership of the company to their sons, Jonathan Tisch and his cousins James and Andrew Tisch, the new generation viewed it as the perfect time to hold Loews' first-ever companywide meeting.
"Some of our executives had never met," says Jonathan Tisch. "We wanted to find ways of working together, to understand the challenges that each of us faces in highly competitive industries, and to discuss new ways of thinking and assisting each other."
The other goal of the meeting was to honor "Bob and Larry," as Tisch refers to them. "There is a tremendous sense of the continuity of the company, even though they have stepped down. As co-chairmen of the board of Loews Corp., they are both still very much involved."
In fact, "The Tradition Continues" was the theme of the meeting--although it also took on the flavor of the company's new leaders. Nancy Mendelson, vice president and creative director for Production Resources Inc. (PRI), which helped to produce the event, explains: "The young Tisches respect the things that made the company great, but they also have their own ideas. With this meeting we wanted to create an environment conducive to camaraderie; an event that was both fun and serious, casual not stuffy, entertaining and informative."
How It Worked The three-day meeting for the 100 top executives and their staffs from the companies' five subsidiaries was held in October at Loews Hotels' new property, the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Studios in Orlando. The tone was set from the opening session, with an introduction of "The Three Tenors." "Since we were introducing the three Tisches, we decided to play off the three tenors," Mendelson says. "We hired three Pavarotti-type opera singers to perform a rendition of 'La Donne e Mobile' from Verdi's Rigoletto, with English lyrics that related to Loews and its subsidiaries."
The production number segued into the introduction of the three Tisches, who then took part in a "no-holds-barred" panel discussion in which attendees, who had submitted questions anonymously, got the chance to ask the co-presidents anything they wanted. "The three didn't know what the questions would be--and there were some very tough ones," says Mendelson, who moderated the panel.
The meeting included presentations by senior Loews Corp. executives in legal, finance, real estate, purchasing, taxes, investments, and human resources, as well as presentations by the heads of the subsidiaries. There also was built-in time for leisure, which capitalized on the Portofino Bay Hotel's on-site location at Universal Studios.
The planners used various techniques to put the attendees at ease and to make sure they mingled with each other instead of associating only with colleagues from their own companies. For example, tables at the business sessions were set with place cards bearing the logo and name of each Loews subsidiary. Each table had a mix of place cards, and attendees were instructed to find a seat corresponding to their company. The same practice was used at some of the meal functions.
"No one knew this would happen; the attendees had expected to sit with their own companies," says Gina Whetsell, manager of corporate meetings and special events for Loews Hotels. She also placed "little toys," such as Silly Putty or Lego blocks, at the tables used in the business sessions. "Focusing on these toys and fooling with them helped relieve a little bit of the stress of the unknown for most of these people, who had never met."
Added Benefits Many attendees made important connections during the meeting. CNA CEO Bernard Hengesbaugh, for example, asked Loews Hotels Executive Vice President of Marketing Charlotte St. Martin for her expertise on branding. And the Bulova and CNA executives, who hold a lot of meetings that aren't--but could be--held at Loews hotels, experienced the Portofino Bay Hotel and the Loews brand of service.
"These were the extra benefits from the meeting," says Whetsell. "I'm not sure anyone planned on them."
The meeting is likely to become a regular event, although probably not an annual one because of the difficulty of coordinating the schedules of 100 top executives. Right now, the Tisches envision holding it every 18 months.
Mendelson reports that her e-mail survey of attendees got an unusually high 75 percent response rate. "PRI does tons of conferences," she says, "but at this one there was a real spirit of cooperation. There was a genuine desire on the part of the executives to get to know the Tisches."
On a Growth Curve Like most of Loews Corp.'s subsidiaries, Loews Hotels is in the midst of the largest expansion in its history. The host hotel for Loews Corp.'s first-ever companywide meeting, the 750-room Portofino Bay Hotel, is one of three new properties that have opened within the past two years. The others are the 800-room Loews Miami Beach Hotel and the 367-room House of Blues Hotel in Chicago.
Another Four Hotels Planned The 585-room Loews Philadelphia Hotel, the 432-room Loews Boston Hotel, and the 650-room Hard Rock Hotel and 1,004-room Royal Pacific Resort, both in Orlando--are scheduled to open by the end of 2002. The Hard Rock Hotel and Royal Pacific Resort, along with the Portofino Bay Hotel, are at Orlando's Universal Studios Escape resort as part of a Loews Hotels joint venture with Universal Studios and the Rank Group.

FRANCE: Healthy Q3 for Groupe Danone as waters shine, again
By Olly Wehring | 17 October 2012
- Danone waters division posts nine-month sales lift of 10.5%
- Sales volumes also rise by 5.3%
- Q3 sales up by 12.3% for waters
- Group Q3 sales follow trend, increasing by 5.6%
Groupe Danone issued its Q3 sales numbers today
The bottled water division of Groupe Danone has continued its strong performance in 2012, with a healthy rise in sales in the third quarter.
The French conglomerate, whose Volvic and Evian brands were the star performers of its H1 numbers, said earlier today (17 October) that sales from its water division in the first nine months of this year were up by 10.5% year-on-year, totalling EUR2.82bn (US$3.70). Volumes for the period also held up well, rising by 5.3%.
For the three months to the end of September, sales from the unit increased by 12.3% to EUR962m, with volumes up by 5.4%.
"Strong growth in emerging markets continues to drive the division's performance," the company said. "In Western Europe, sales benefited from a favourable basis of comparison with Q3 2011, which helped offset adverse weather conditions that prevailed in July 2012."
Group-wide, Danone posted a 5.6% lift in sales for the year so far, to EUR15.73bn, and a 5% rise in Q3 to EUR5.26bn.
Looking to its full year, Danone said that it still expects 5.7% sales growth for 2012, with the "robust performance of operations in Asia, the Americas, Africa/Middle East and the CIS continuing to help offset pressure on Western Europe".
The target for trading operating margin, however, has been moved from 'stable' to 'down 50 basis points' as the company looks to stem the "swift deterioration in consumption in southern Europe".
By 1230 BST today, Danone's share price had slipped back by 3.9% to EUR46.85.

Porygon2 is a unique BL Pokemon with quite some potential in standard. It has the option to go anti-stall with a Sharpen set, or simply deal damage with BoltBeam while sticking around for a long time; however, that leaves it easily walled by Blissey and Snorlax. With Trace, it can copy abilities such as Volt Absorb, Water Absorb, and Levitate, and hence counter the likes of Vaporeon, Jolteon, Lanturn, Flygon, and Claydol; if you're lucky, you might even encounter Shedinja on the day you're running a Porygon2 set that can touch it. However, the greatest use of Trace is to copy Dugtrio's Arena Trap and KO it with Ice Beam.
With good coverage, great HP and defenses, as well as access to Recover, it makes for a great specially based stall Pokemon and late-game cleaner. In addition to being the standard Porygon2 set, it is probably the best set for Porygon2 as well, though it is certainly not Porygon2's only option.
Access to the BoltBeam combo lets Porygon2 take advantage of its massive Special Attack, while Recover helps it stay alive for a while; this leaves room for a status move of your choice. Thunder Wave is nice as it patches up Porygon2's only bad stat, its low Speed, while Toxic helps Porygon2 wear down defensive threats it would otherwise not be able to beat.
Investment in bulk helps Porygon better sponge attacks, while some Special Attack EVs and a Modest nature increase its damage output. The spread here can be varied slightly though, for example by taking some EVs out of Special Attack and moving them into Defense.
People tend to overlook Porygon2's access to Sharpen, which is not bad alongside its physical STAB. Return is its main attacking move, and Thunderbolt dents Skarmory and Suicune; the former walls Return, and the latter can otherwise phaze Porygon2 out with Roar. Shadow Ball hits Ghost-types that are immune to Return, while Recover keeps Porygon2 healthy.
Porygon2 is one of the few Pokemon that can learn Recycle. Add to this Recover and Starf Berry, and you have a combination that can get you multiple boosts.
Other Options
Psychic hits the likes of Gengar, Heracross, and Weezing. Porygon2 is the only Pokemon in the game that learns Conversion and Conversion2, besides Porygon and Smeargle of course, so use those for some fun if you feel like it, but they have little competitive merit. Psych Up is situational, but if Porygon2 can copy Calm Mind boosts from Raikou and Jirachi and snag a critical hit, it will be in the money.
Checks and Counters
Blissey and Snorlax beat BoltBeam sets; Lanturn walls its attacks well but can't touch Porygon2 in return. Steelix, Rhydon, and Golem fare well against physically based sets that lack Ice Beam, as they resist Return and are immune to Thunderbolt. Metagross shuts down any Porygon2 with its resistances to Return and Ice Beam; it also doesn't take too much damage from a neutral Thunderbolt. Hitmonlee can come in all day thanks to Limber and its good Special Defense.

Like almost three hours worth.
The innings rolled by until the bottom of the ninth, when Helton finally made an appearance, pinch-batting for Carlos Beltran and facing New York Yankee reliever Mariano Rivera.
All that wait for ... a popup to first on a cut fastball. And a 9-4 loss to the American League to boot. Rats.
"I'd never won an All-Star Game and I'm hoping this would be the one," said Helton, who did some hitting in the cage to keep loose. "Yeah, and I had some barbecue ribs in the clubhouse -- no, I'm kidding about that.
"But you're never loose enough to face that guy [Rivera]. He's unbelievable. You like to do well if you get in the game, but that's baseball. I was facing one of the best closers of all time."
Helton is the only active Major Leaguer with a .300 average, 30 homers, 100 RBIs and 100 runs in each of the last five years and one of only six players in history to do that over five consecutive seasons.
The two-time Gold Glove winner is currently batting .348 with 17 homers and 57 RBIs.
You'd figure a veteran such as Helton, an eight-year veteran with a lifetime .338 average might be a bit miffed to be treated like sub, waiting and waiting for his chance to hit.
Not a chance.
"I felt like an All-Star," he said. "You're an All-Star and you're happy to be here and happy to do what they tell you to do. It's always a good experience."
Next step: An "off-day" on Wednesday -- "Not really, I have to travel," laughed Helton -- then a four-game set against NL West foe San Francisco starting Thursday.

Daisy Miller

- eBook - ePub eBook: $6.99
Travelling in Europe with her family, Daisy Miller, an exquisitely beautiful young American woman, presents her fellow-countryman Winterbourne with a dilemma he cannot resolve. Is she deliberately flouting social convention in the outspoken way she talks and acts, or is she simply ignorant of those conventions? When she strikes up an intimate friendship with an urbane young Italian, her flat refusal to observe the codes of respectable behaviour leave her perilously exposed. In Daisy Miller James created his first great portrait of the enigmatic and dangerously independent American woman, a figure who would come to dominate his later masterpieces.
Emily Ennis, Third Year English Student, The University of Leeds.
Having always been a fan of Henry James after picking up The Turn of the Screw a few years ago, when I was afforded the chance to read his novella Daisy Miller I was very excited. Within a very short sixty pages Mr. James manages to take you into the world of the American abroad and explore the sexual morals of the burgeoning nouveau riche. In this world where morals and manners are inexplicably linked, the tale charts Mr. Winterbourne's growing confusion over the behaviour of the young Daisy Miller, allowing Henry James to simultaneously critique the notion of culture and female sexuality.
It is a testament to the literary mastery of Henry James that he manages to explore so many different ideas within such a short story. In this edition of the text the reader is provided with helpful appendices which relate how James had heard of a young American girl falling into society with a young Roman, openly flaunting this intimate relationship unaware of the social implications; the story which eventually became Daisy Miller. James dramatises reality and makes it a critique on female innocence and the spacelessness which Americans on the continent inhabit – a world of crossed wires and social checks, and perhaps the inability never to do what one ought. His most successful literary work in terms of numbers sold, James is very cleverly creating a story everyone should read.
Henry James in his own restless travelling and varied European schooling felt never at home in the America in which he was born, creating a veritable mélange of cultures and thought in his writing. However, a question able to address throughout the western world in the 1870s is the notion of female desire and female innocence, and the figure of the Fallen Woman. Daisy Miller's unrelenting flounting of social convention is seen to be a result of her naivety of European social custom. James asks the question whether a girl can be 'innocent' of social misunderstanding but perhaps not innocent sexually. Daisy Miller openly admits she is a 'flirt' and that in America she is used to male company, yet as Mr. Winterbourne and Mr. Giovanelli stand around her grave, the latter proclaims she 'was the most innocent'. Henry James addresses the woman question through the lens of culture rather than through the lens of gender. Are we to understand Daisy's fall as a consequence of her being abroad and being unaware of custom or as a result of her inherent destructive female sexuality?
Proto-feminist in his writing, James highlights the contemporary hypocrisy of men and their pursuit of sexual satisfaction (Winterbourne, it is hinted at, is kept in Geneva by a mistress), while women are openly chastised for sexual misdemeanour despite not knowing what they do. Critical of culture, James asks the nineteenth-century reader to examine the morals that society instils within them. Yet even in the twenty-first century the tragic fall of Daisy Miller has the power to capture the mind of the reader and in such a short space Henry James takes them through Europe on Winterbourne's mad pursuit of the unobtainable, 'innocent' Miss Miller.

CHICAGO -- Woody Williams, competitor of competitors, simply could not take much pleasure in his first All-Star Game appearance. Not just yet, at least. After all, his team lost. And he gave up two runs.
"It is what it is," said Williams, who was a man of relatively few words after the National League's 7-6 loss at U.S. Cellular Field. "It's competition. It would have been nice to come out on top, but it is what it is."
This was not what Williams had in mind. In the middle innings, things started to shape up perfectly for him. Williams had the chance to be the "setup man" for the National League's imposing three-armed closer monster of Billy Wagner, Eric Gagne and John Smoltz. He would pitch the sixth with a four-run lead, then hand the ball over to the closers.
But it was against Williams that the AL began its comeback. Alex Rodriguez hit a grounder up the middle, and Rafael Furcal threw the ball away. It was scored as a hit and then an error allowing Rodriguez to take second, but either way it was tough to swallow. The next batter, Garret Anderson, pummeled a homer 401 feet to right-center field and it was a 5-3 game. Anderson was later named the game's MVP.
"I just knew I had to pitch one inning," Williams said. "Hopefully, I would go out there and not give up any runs, but it didn't work out."
In the week-plus since All-Star rosters were announced, one Cardinal after another spoke of the excitement the whole team felt for Williams, who was making his first appearance in the Midsummer Classic at age 36. His mates were still happy for him afterward.
"I know he's probably disappointed a little bit, but I was excited for him," said Jim Edmonds, who started in center field for the NL. "I made an effort to track down a ball he threw in the stands. I went and got it (for him). I'm just excited for him. I'm sure he will appreciate it a couple years down the line. Any time you just get to go to one, it's enough."
Williams said that he wasn't plagued by nerves -- he just didn't make his pitch to Anderson.
"I was just disappointed I couldn't throw the ball down," he said. "I threw it up too high and gave them some pitches to hit.
"Garret had a nice night."
As for striking out Martinez, Williams did acknowledge that as a special moment.
"He's one of the best right-handed hitters of all time," Williams said. "I was fortunate to get him out -- much less strike him out. ... It's not easy."
Now Williams gets on with the second half and the business of trying to help pitch the Cardinals to a division title. He has one more first in mind -- his first World Series. But for now, he'll hold on to this. Maybe a little sooner than later after all.
"It's something I'll never forget," he said. "A great competition. Obviously, you're never gonna get any better competition than this."

Tuesday on Mayhem:
Alabama throttled Notre Dame in all phases en route to their second consecutive BCS title last night and third in four years. Mayhem had it covered from all angles with ESPN's Todd Blackledge and Alabama Athletic Director Mal Moore.
The Falcons titanic Divisional round match-up with the Seahawks was in our sites as well and ESPN's Sal Paolantonio was crystal clear in his prediction for Sunday's contest.
We also got some local perspective on the game with 710 in ESPN's Dave Mahler and went around the NFL with friend of the show Hines Ward.

Stem Cell Research
Airs: April 9, 11, 12, 13, 23, 25, 26, 27
When President Obama lifted the restrictions on embryonic stem cell research, people of faith took notice. But, does the President's moral imperative to support stem cell research make it OK for people of faith? On Issues of Faith, we'll take a look at how different Christian denominations deal with the issue. Bishop David Choby from the Nashville Diocese talks about the reasons behind the Catholic Church's opposition to embryonic stem cell research. He also talks about the types of stem cell research supported by the church and how the Diocese is dealing with this serious issue. Plus, Rev. Jim Kitchens from the Second Presbyterian Church shares a more supportive view of embryonic stem cell research, including the Presbyterian Church's ideas on when personhood begins and how that differs from the Catholic church.
