October 26, 2012, 11:02 AM — This week at McAfee Focus the security vendor pounded home one point that it really didn't think attendees understood: Virtually every smartphone can compromise enterprise security. However, I walked away with a vastly bigger concern: enterprise security practices, short of confiscating smartphones entirely, may actually be making us more vulnerable.
One of the jobs I held at IBM was in the internal audit department, and one of the skills I seemed to be best at was finding ways to successfully breach security that others thought was bulletproof. My last audit-and this is likely why it was my last audit-took me into the secure safe of a top IBM executive and gave me access to files that only two or three people in the world had ever seen. After that, security was my specialty, and ever since I've been a security analyst or had security analysts report to me.
I've always had a knack for being able to look at a security practice and figure out how it could be successfully breached. That's why I was so interested in what McAfee had to say this week about operating system and smartphone security.
Scary Landscape: Boot Files All Too Easy to Access
McAfee CTO Mike Fey demonstrated a proof of concept attack tool the company has developed to showcase just how easy it is to compromise current platforms. Most companies have been penetrated already, he says, with data analytics tools secretly installed so attackers can get a general sense of which user has the most systems authority or, in the case of banking, who moves the most cash. That's who attackers target.
Tips: 5 Mobile Security Lessons From the Department of Defense
Typically, the attackers' goals are to do a lot of damage, get access to confidential information or transfer cash. As an example, McAFee showcased a man-in-the-middle attack in which the browser session is hijacked and the user's ID, password and challenge question answers are captured. From there, a cash transfer is executed, and the user is pointed to a false account screen that doesn't show the transfer. This way, the user can't stop the order until the cash is beyond retrieval.
A scarier demonstration followed. Starting with a Windows 7 PC, McAfee accessed the boot files and successfully reformatted the drive while the unsuspecting user was online. This, of course, would result in a recovery event-and if you can reformat the system, then there is little else you can't do with it, even if you're not in Admin mode.

Medical Assistants (MAs) are the only allied health professional trained specifically for the ambulatory care setting. The career is identified by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics as one of the fastest growing through 2012. Part of the reason is the increase in the number of health care facilities demanding a flexible medical assistant who can perform a variety of skills. Skills acquired in the MA Program include (but not exclusively) administrative such as answer telephones, greet patients, file, complete insurance forms, handle correspondence, schedule appointments, arrange for other health care services, treatments, procedures, handle billing and bookkeeping; and clinical based on state law such as taking medical histories, obtaining/recording vital signs, prepare and administer medications as directed by the physician, preparing/assisting in client examinations, collect and prepare laboratory specimens or perform basic laboratory tests on the premises, dispose of contaminated supplies, sterilize medical instruments, authorize drug refills as directed, telephone prescriptions to a pharmacy, take electrocardiograms, remove sutures, change dressings, and educate clients in treatments/procedures. MAs who specialize may perform additional skills.
Medical assistants interact with a variety of people in pleasant-physician office/clinic environments typically during day hours Monday through Friday. The Medical Assistant is not limited to clinical practice with the potential for advancement in areas such as office manager, administrative support occupations, or teaching future medical assisting.
For a more complete description of careers in medical assisting, refer to the website of the American Association of Medical Assistants.
BPCC's Associate of Applied Science (AAS) and Technical Diploma in MA Programs consist of Qualification Courses and Program Courses. The AAS program also includes Additional Required courses. Students may work at any pace (part time/full time) to complete the qualification and additional required courses. When the qualification courses have been completed (with a "C" or better), students may apply for admission to the program component. The additional required courses may be completed at any time prior to graduation. The program is designed so that a student may complete the Associate of Applied Science in MA program in 5 semesters and the Technical Diploma in MA program in 3 semesters.
The selection process for the program component begins each spring and fall. Students should be aware of the following requirements and procedures regarding clinical program selection:
Students pursuing the Associate of Applied Science and Technical Diploma must first meet College admission requirements. Students are selected into the Medical Assistant Program upon the successful completion (minimum of "C") in qualification courses and ALHT 201 or ALHT 209, submission of completed program application and signed essential requirement form.
Students selected for the program classes must be available for daytime, evening and possible weekend classes. Upon the successful completion (minimum of "C") of the program training courses and laboratories, Medical Assistant students are assigned to practicum sites. Practicum training (a minimum of 220 hours) is completed at physicians' offices and clinics throughout Northwest Louisiana. During ALHT 210, the student will be assigned to a physician's office or healthcare setting, generally for eight hours per day, three to five days a week for 10 weeks. Successful completion of the practicum experience and required course work leads to the awarding of the Associate of Applied Science in Medical Assistant or Technical Diploma in Medical Assistant. Graduates of the BPCC Medical Assistant Program are eligible to take the Certified Medical Assistant (AAMA) Certification/Recertification Examination. As of January 2001, felons are not eligible to take the AAMA certified Medical Assistant examination.
Credit for experiential learning is not allowed for the following courses: ALHT 201, ALHT 209, MOS 206L, ALHT 203 or ALHT 210.
Students must submit required information for programs with a clinical component prior to beginning ALHT 210. Program students are required to pay a clinical fee in addition to regular tuition.

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
If you Google 'government shutdown' and 'Congress' you should get a pretty fair picture of what the focal point is this week on Capitol Hill. Last week the Joint Economic Committee held a hearing called "The Economic Costs of Debt-Ceiling Brinkmanship." This week, the Senate Budget Committee explores a similar topic in "The Impact of Political Uncertainty on Jobs & the Economy." Meanwhile on the House side, Congressional Budget Office director Doug Elmendorf is scheduled to appear before the Budget Committee on the CBO's long-term outlook.
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week.
Despite the profound impact of the banking sector collapse in 2008 on Iceland's economy, the island nation ranks 13th in this year's Global Innovation Index, 14th in the Ease of Doing Business rankings, and 23rd in the Index of Economic Freedom. There has been much debate and disagreement regarding the key steps that put this social-market economy on a path to successful recovery but no one denies the contribution of the more silent actors transforming the economy for the better—its entrepreneurs. I recently sat down in Reykjavik with President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson to learn about the entrepreneurs who are building what they call an "anti-fragile" entrepreneurship ecosystem.
Over the years, the Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship has featured an assortment of rankings that examine just about everything you can imagine to do with the economic well-being of all 50 U.S. states. Of course, most informed readers understand that different organizations lead to different points of emphasis, different methodologies and you guessed it—different results.
Things remain quiet on the topic of startups and entrepreneurship in Senate committees for the week ahead. On the House side, the Small Business Committee looks at "Private Sector Initiatives to Educate Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs" and others focus on intellectual property, regulatory flexibility and PPACA / "Obamacare." Meanwhile, the Joint Economic Committee hopes to shine a light on the "Economic Costs of Debt-Ceiling Brinkmanship."
Proud to have beaten the odds arising from a transition to independence since 1991 and the legacy of a war that only ended in 1995, Croatia officially joined the European Union on July 1, 2013. Last month, I accepted an invitation to visit with the nation's president, Ivo Josipović, at his retreat on the Brijuni Islands and found a nation already embarking on its next mission.
The G20 Leaders Summit concluded last week in St. Petersburg, Russia, producing a 27-page G20 Leaders' Declaration document that outlines a plan for strong and sustained global economic growth. Weak growth in the aftermath of the global recession and persistently high unemployment—especially among youth—were at the top of the list of challenges.
Eighty-five percent of startup owners in the U.S. are confident that the next 12 months will bring greater profitability. The figure is a one percent increase over the first-quarter results of the Kauffman/LegalZoom Startup Confidence Index and the highest level since the young study began in early 2012.
As Members of Congress return to Washington from their August recess, all eyes are on Syria and whether or not they will approve the use of military force to punish the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. Another issue looming is the debt ceiling and (seemingly perpetual) threat of a government shutdown that will require yet another temporary spending bill. Unsurprisingly, that doesn't leave much room or attention for hearings relevant to entrepreneurship. There are however a few in House committees already scheduled for this week.

Program Title: Ignatian Breakfasts and Lunches
Contact Person/Office:
School : Fr. Kevin Schneider, S.J.
Program Description: Ignatian Breakfasts and Lunches occur approximately four times each year and provide a forum for spiritual direction for faculty and staff in the style of St. Ignatius of Loyola.
Rationale: To provide a forum for spiritual direction for faculty and staff in the style of St. Ignatius of Loyola. It brings the faculty and staff together as a community four times each year and allows them to connect the theme and the Ignatian aspect of that theme to the daily life of the Prep community.
Leadership: Fr. Kevin Schneider organizes this and implements it. He often calls upon other faculty members to speak to the theme or assist in the presentation in some form.
Implementation: This really started to take place during the 2008-2009 school year. It was much less structured the first year and Fr. Jim Ryan S.J. assisted Kevin with implementation. During the 2009-2010 school year, the breakfasts centered around the reading of a book titled What is Ignatian Spirituality? by David Fleming S.J. 2010-2011 focused on the life of Pedro Arrupe, S.J. and the 2011-2012 school year focused on the Eucharist.
Processes and Resources: Each breakfast happens once during the quarter. It is a late start for the entire school. After each breakfast an invitation to have lunch in the Jesuit residence is extended and if an individual would like to attend, they can.
Finances: $ for breakfast; $ for lunch; $ for books (if needed). Last year the amount of money that was spent total on this program was $1000
Rewards: Greater sense of our Ignatian Identity, greater sense of community, getting to know our fellow faculty on a deeper level
Time (When/Length): Ignatian breakfasts are offered once a quarter. The school has a late start that morning and the presentation lasts for about 35-45 minutes.
Location (Space): In our auditorium (convenient space for entire faculty) and breakfast is served in the lobby outside the auditorium.
Accountability/Assessment: All faculty are required to attend. Surveys are sent out following the Ignatian breakfasts and lunches to get faculty feedback. Generally the feedback has been good.

< Return To Hearing
Mr. Barry SabinJune 27, 2007
Statement of Barry Sabin Thank you Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee. I am pleased to appear before you today to testify about the Department of Justice's implementation of the Federal death penalty statutes. The Justice Department relies upon rigorous procedural safeguards and highly experienced personnel to ensure a uniform decision-making structure that is respectful to victims and defendants. In connection with my testimony today, I will emphasize the paramount importance the Department attaches to the review of capital cases and key elements that define this review process. These elements are: (1) the capital case review process is centralized and the decision in every case is ultimately made by the Attorney General of the United States; (2) the review of a capital matter is designed to respect the Federal law; (3) the review of a capital matter treats each defendant as an individual, even as it evaluates the case within a national framework; (4) discrimination and bias play no role in the capital review process; and (5) each review of a capital matter respects victims' and defendants' rights. I. Background With the goal of fair and consistent application in mind, in June 2001, the Justice Department implemented a revised protocol (hereinafter protocol), which further harmonized the capital review process. This protocol for Federal death penalty case review appears in Title 9-10.000 of the United States Attorneys' Manual. Under this United States Attorney Manual provision, the Department instituted policies and procedures to ensure that the government fairly and consistently seeks the death penalty in cases with appropriate factual support for potential death verdicts. Recently, the Department has focused on expediting the review of certain categories of offenses for which a decision to seek the death penalty is highly unlikely and on facilitating and encouraging timely submissions through centralized monitoring of potential capital cases. These revisions to the protocol will further ensure fairness and address the concerns expressed by the Federal judiciary about the cost of providing counsel with capital expertise during the review process. In addition, by encouraging timely submission of cases for review, the revisions reduce the need to delay judicial proceedings to accommodate the review. The proposed revisions will clarify existing procedures, create mechanisms to more closely manage cases, and expedite decision-making for certain categories of cases in which the Justice Department will not likely seek the death penalty. II. Capital Case Review: Personnel and Process The Committee is drawn from the United States Attorneys' Offices, the Criminal Division, and the Office of the Deputy Attorney General. Committee members are selected based on their experience, abilities to synthesize facts and to fairly and uniformly evaluate arguments regarding the application of the Federal death penalty statutes. The Committee has no policy-setting function and only gathers information as required to fully consider individual cases. The relatively small size of the Committee helps ensure fairness and consistency in the application of Federal death penalty laws. The Committee has two standing members, a Deputy Assistant Attorney General or other senior attorney experienced in capital litigation from the Criminal Division and the career Chief of the Capital Case Unit. Additional Committee members are assigned on a rotating basis from two pools. The first pool includes selected attorneys in the Office of the Deputy Attorney General; the second pool includes Assistant United States Attorneys with capital trial experience from approximately half a dozen United States Attorneys' Offices around the country. One representative from each pool is named to the Committee for every case. The Committee meets to consider every case for which the U.S. Attorney requests authorization to seek the death penalty and every case in which, based on the U.S. Attorney's protocol submission and an analysis prepared by an attorney in the Capital Case Unit, an assigned Committee member requests a conference. Under the United States Attorney's Manual provision, United States Attorneys' Offices submit all potential death penalty cases for review by the Committee. The Committee's central role and national perspective further the Department's goal of fairly and uniformly administering the Federal death penalty. B. The Justice Department Review Procedures For Capital Cases Are Transparent, Thorough, and Uniform The Department designed its death penalty review process to ensure the fair and consistent application of the nation's capital sentencing statutes. The Department strictly adheres to this protocol because of the unparalleled degree of transparency it affords to the reviewing attorneys and the attorneys litigating for both the government and the defense. Such openness optimizes the quantity and quality of information available to the officials who recommend or decide whether the government will seek the death penalty in any given case. In every potential capital case, the Committee recommends to the Deputy Attorney General and the Attorney General whether to seek the death penalty, but the final determination rests solely with the Attorney General. 2. The Review Process is Race and Ethnicity Neutral The Department of Justice September 2000 Statistical Survey noted that there was no evidence that any U.S. Attorney's office had engaged in discrimination or bias in charging decisions. Following this statistical study, the Justice Department contracted the RAND Corporation to undertake further analysis of the Justice Department's capital case statistics. In 2006, the RAND Corporation published a Technical Report that concluded that decisions to seek the Federal death penalty through 2001, "were driven by heinousness of crimes rather than race." 3. The Committee's Decision-Making Process and Defense Counsel's Participation When the Committee convenes a conference, its recommendation is determined by majority vote. The recommendation and the supporting rationales are set forth in a memorandum prepared by the Capital Case Unit and circulated to the Committee for approval and revisions. Dissenting Committee members have discretion to include the minority viewpoint in the memorandum, which, in all events, summarizes the defense position and any Committee responses. The Committee memorandum, the U.S. Attorney's submission, all defense submissions, and any other pertinent documents are forwarded to the Deputy Attorney General and the Attorney General. The review is based on all the available pertinent documents. The death penalty protocol also advises the United States Attorney to consult with the family of the victim concerning the decision whether to seek the death penalty and to include the views of the victim's family concerning the death penalty in any submission made to the Department. The victim's family is notified by the U.S. Attorney of all final decisions regarding the death penalty. 4. Participation of the Deputy Attorney General and Attorney General As previously noted, the Committee's recommendation memorandum, the U.S. Attorney's submission, any defense submission, and any other pertinent documents are forwarded to the Deputy Attorney General and the Attorney General. The documents (such as the United States Attorney memorandum, the Committee memorandum, indictment, defense submissions, death penalty evaluation forms) are organized in an indexed "AG Notebook." The notebook is initially received by the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, where it is assigned to a staff member who did not serve on the Committee for the case. The staff member prepares a brief analysis and recommendation, which along with the AG notebook is forwarded to the Deputy Attorney General's Chief of Staff, who makes a separate recommendation to the Deputy Attorney General. The Deputy Attorney General's recommendation is also conveyed to the Attorney General in the AG Notebook. In the Attorney General's office, a staff member reviews the recommendations of the U.S. Attorney, the Committee and the Deputy Attorney General, and presents the case to the Attorney General. The Attorney General's decision is memorialized in a letter addressed to the prosecuting U.S. Attorney. The letter states whether the Attorney General has authorized the U.S. Attorney to seek the death penalty. In an effort to secure fair and appropriate decisions in every case, the review process permits and encourages communication between the U.S. Attorney's Office and the reviewing officials within the Department. The Committee's recommendations are communicated to the prosecution team. Certain recommendations may prompt further discussion between the Committee and the prosecutors, who have a continuing right to supply the Committee with supplementary documents and information in support of their position. The process also permits a request for reconsideration of a recommendation to seek the death penalty at any time throughout the pre-trial and trial litigation. The U.S. Attorney's Office typically has multiple opportunities to present its position to the Deputy Attorney General and various members of his staff. C. Capital Case Review Provides Each Defendant With Individualized Consideration, Even as it Permits Each Case To Be Assessed Within a National Framework The review allows each potential capital case to be viewed in context of all other such cases, protecting against arbitrary decision-making. The review also ensures that individual characteristics are highlighted during this review; the Attorney General's decision turns on what the defendant has done and the relevant aggravating and mitigating circumstances. Factors that are arbitrary, such as race, ethnicity, gender, or religion, are not considered. In this way, the Justice Department is able to effectuate Congress's intent that the death penalty be sought against the worst offenders, while simultaneously respecting statutory and constitutional principles that all defendants must be given individualized consideration. In short, the Attorney General will not authorize seeking the death penalty against a defendant unless he believes that such a sentence is both authorized under Federal statute, and is consistent with constitutional principles. III. Conclusion |

Russia U20s Hold Off USA |
National Teams - Age-Grade Men | |||||
The USA U20s staged a comeback but it wasn't quite enough as the Junior All Americans fell 42-36 to Russia in Saturday's Junior World Rugby Trophy pool match at Avchala Stadium in Tbilisi, Georgia on May 28. The Junior All Americans put up a spirited fight, had some good offensive possessions and put up over 30 points, but the Russians simply executed the basics well and showed greater discipline. Russia got on the board first after a penalty was called against USA for hands in the ruck and scrumhalf German Godlyuk slotted the penalty from 22 meters out to make it 3-0 four minutes into the match. The USA had a chance to respond as their forwards started gaining ground in the Russia half, but nothing came of it when the ball was dropped forward and Russia was awarded the scrum. Russia got the penalty when the USA forwards engaged early and used the quick tap to take the ball into the US half. Russian fullback Denis Simplikevich was tackled into touch, giving the Junior All Americans a lineout on their own 10-meter line. Russia stole the ball but knocked it on, giving the USA another opportunity to attack from the scrum. However after a few phases, referee Tui Komiti called USA off sides and Russia opted for a shot at goal. Godlyuk again made the kick to put Russia up 6-0. The Russians had their way in the set pieces all match, especially the scrums. When the USA was awarded a scrum after a Russia knock on, their pack was driven back and the ball squirted out the back. The USA managed to relieve the pressure with a kick, but it was just the beginning of a long match for the USA forwards. Russia's next score came when they stole the USA's lineout and marched the ball into USA territory. The USA got their hands on the ball but knocked on almost immediately and Russia's pack secured the ball well in the scrum. They worked the ball out to the backs and worked their way past the US 22-meter line. Despite some determined tackling from the Junior All Americans, Simplikevich picked the ball off the ruck, shrugged off a tackler, and touched down in the try zone. Godlyuk made the conversion and it was 13-0 in Russia's favor. The USA was awarded a penalty right off the kickoff after Russia was called for diving over, but their first chance at securing some points came to nothing after fullback Joe Cowley's kick hit off the right post. However, Russia gave the USA another chance after they knocked the ball on in their own half. Their scrum was pressured but they managed to get the ball out to the backs, where flyhalf and captain Will Magie passed the ball out wide to winger Madison Hughes, who cut past one defender before being brought to ground where he popped the ball up to scrumhalf Michael Oliver. Oliver ran in the last five meters for the score and Cowley made the conversion, bringing the score to 13-7. Russia did not give the USA any time to celebrate, chasing well off the kickoff and recovering the ball. Godlyuk picked the ball off the ruck and ran deep into the US half before being pressured and passing to Simplikevich, who sprinted in the last 22 meters for his second try. Godlyuk continued his solid performance and slotted the conversion. Russia led by 13 with just over 10 minutes to go in the half. After a few good runs in the Russia half, a penalty was called against Russia and Cowley landed his kick at goal, reducing Russia's lead to 10. Frustration started to show on both sides. A hard tackle by a USA player forced the ball loose and another penalty was called against Russia, a fight broke out and Komiti yellow-carded Russia's loosehead prop, Alexey Skobiola, who threw punches at USA's Bubba Jones. Russia managed to hold on with only 14 men and the half ended after they were penalized in the lineout, the score standing at 20-10. Early in the second half, another knock on by the USA landed Russia another scrum, which they won and fed the ball wide to Simplikevich who glided through the defense to complete his hat trick. Godlyuk slotted the conversion for a 27-10 score line. The Junior All Americans gained more ground when Russia was penalized in the following scrum and USA utilized the quick tap, offloaded and worked the ball to Jones who sprinted down the right touchline for the try. Cowley made the conversion and they were back within 10 points. Russia pressured the USA line when they recovered their own kickoff. The Russian backs ran hard lines to edge closer to the try zone, but the ball was turned over and Jones ran it into Russia territory before passing to Hughes for a length-of-the-field try. With the conversion made, the Junior All Americans were just three points away from tying the game. Russia then camped out in the USA half, earning a penalty when the USA collapsed a scrum. Russia opted to reset and secured the ball, driving towards the line, but the ball was held up in the try zone. Further indiscipline by the USA gave Russia another penalty, which they quick tapped. The forwards worked a few phases keeping the ball in hand and eventually flanker Nikolay Pochechuev barged his way over for five points. Godlyuk made his fourth conversion to again widen the gap to 10 points. In the ensuing kickoff, Russia fielded the ball and mauled downfield before knocking on after a few phases. The USA earned a penalty after Russia engaged early in the scrum and the Junior All Americans took the quick tap. The ball was passed left for Cowley to run in and score behind the posts. After Cowley converted his own try, the score was 34-31. Russia almost scored again after making a break but an errant pass was caught by a trailing USA defender and kicked into touch at the USA 22. The USA managed to earn a penalty and the scrum, but the Russian pack drove them backwards and Godlyuk picked and ran with it before passing to inside center Alexey Vasiliev for the try. Godlyuk missed his only conversion of the day and the score stood at 39-31. USA kicked off yet again and Russia maintained possession into the USA half. A good diving tackle at the ruck by the US turned the ball over but it was called back for off sides. Godlyuk finished off Russia's scoring by slotting the penalty. After the USA managed to force some pressure on the Russian line, Russia picked up a loose ball and kicked downfield. With time running out, the US took a quick lineout and earned another penalty, kicking to touch to set up a lineout inside the Russian 22. USA won the lineout and edged ever closer to the try zone, but Russia showed that they could match their impressive offense with a stout defense, tackling hard and keeping the USA forwards out of their zone. It was only when the ball was kicked out to Hughes on the left wing that the USA scored. Hughes darted for the line and was tackled but showed great awareness before being pushed into touch to pop the ball up to Magie who scored. Cowley missed the conversion, leaving the score at 42-36. The final kickoff of the game came as time expired and instead of running the ball from deep, USA kicked it back. Luckily, USA was gifted another chance when Russia knocked it on and USA got the scrum. But as Russia did all match, their pack pushed the USA forwards off their own ball before it was kicked into touch and Komiti sounded the fulltime whistle. USA now stands at fourth in Pool A with two losses and only two points. Their next match is against Uruguay at 6 a.m. EST on Wednesday, June 1. But that wasn't enough. With possession precious the USA kicked it away once and lost it in a scrum the other time, and Godlyuk gleefully kicked the ball to touch to end the match. It was a game of contrasts, where Russia's forwards bulled their way into the USA half and camped there, while the Americans defended doggedly, but not always in perfect unison. |

Stats of the Week: Starring JJ and Andy
This week we look at the two players most affected by the absence of Shaquille O'Neal and Zydrunas Ilgauskas (11 games since Shaq hurt his thumb, including the game when the injury happened):
J.J. Hickson: 11 games, 251 min (22.8/g), 44-87 FG (50.6%), 20-26 FT (76.9%), 58 reb (5.3/g) and 108 pts (9.8/g)
Anderson Varejao: 11 games, 308 min (28.0/g), 57-77 FG (74.0%), 19-27 FT (69.2%), 91 reb (8.3/g) and 133 pts (12.1/g)
Anderson Varejao has been getting the bulk of his recent minutes as the back-up center to J.J. Hickson. This has helped Mike Brown find him more minutes with the addition of Antawn Jamison. For the season Andy is averaging 29.1 minutes/game, so he is down 1 minute/game but his production is up 3+ points and 1 rebound per game. Hickson is playing 3+ more minutes per game and his productivity reflects that (+2 pts/g and +1 reb/g). The play of these two guys is directly related to the Cavs going 10-1 over this stretch.
You might say that the Cavs have avoided the great centers, i.e. Dwight Howard and ??? (wait, is there any other great Centers in the League right now), but we have faced Brook Lopez, Andrew Bogut, Tim Duncan, Samuel Dalembert and Kendrick Perkins (twice). That's about as good as you are going to get in today's NBA.
Big Z should be back next week and Shaq should be back by the playoffs. This will put Mike Brown in a very tough spot to find minutes for his "bigs". You cannot justify Andy getting less than 25 minutes per game. He has proved time and time again that the team is better with him on the floor. Similarly, despite his defensive lapses, J.J. has proven to be a solid contributor. He is also a very tough match-up with his extraordinary athletic ability, as proven by recent match-ups vs. the aging Boston Celtics. The problem for J.J. is that there just isn't going to be minutes for him in the regular playoff rotation. He is going to have to be used in the right situations. He will have to stay ready and Mike Brown will have to be open and flexible enough to actually pull the trigger and use him in those situations when we need him. It will be interesting to say the least.
Cavs statistical history and scoring title update after the jump...
Cavs Statistical History:
With his 9 rebounds on Wednesday night, LeBron James has moved past Jim Chones into 4th Place in Cavalier History for Career Rebounds. Additionally, Anderson Varejao has moved into 10th place this past week, passing Drew Gooden.
LeBron James has scored his 2000th point this season, marking the 6th consecutive season with 2000+ points for the Cavalier superstar.
The win on Wednesday night clinched the Central Division Title for the 2nd consecutive year. This is the third division title in team history.
The magic number to clinch the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference is down to 8.
Scoring Title Update:
LeBron James
Current: 67 games, 2004 points, 29.91 PPG (-0.09 PPG change)
Last week: 4 games, 114 points, 28.5 PPG
Previous: 63 games, 1890 points, 30.00 PPG
Kevin Durant
Current: 66 games, 1960 points, 29.70 PPG (+0.07 PPG change)
Last Week: 3 games, 93 points, 31.0 PPG
Previous: 63 games, 1867 points, 29.63 PPG

MORGANTOWN - Suffice it to say Truck Bryant wasn't exactly giddy Thursday morning when coach Bob Huggins pulled him aside at West Virginia's shoot-around and told him he wouldn't be in the starting lineup later that night in the Mountaineers' crucial game against Pitt.
And why would he have been?
Bryant had played in 128 games during his college career. In all but 11 of those he was among the five introduced as the starters. Of those 11 he did not start, seven came in the first eight college games he played. The other four were consecutive games early in his sophomore season.
Although he'd missed a handful of games while injured - including the NCAA regional semifinals and finals and the Final Four in 2010 - he'd started the last 81 games in which he was able to play.
"I'm not going to sit here and say I like coming off the bench,'' Bryant said late Thursday night.
Whether he does so again when West Virginia next plays on Wednesday at Notre Dame apparently is a matter yet to be decided, but in hindsight it's hard to argue with the results.
Bryant didn't start the game or the second half, but still played 32 minutes Thursday as West Virginia earned a much-needed 66-48 win over Pitt at the Petersen Events Center.
Not only did Bryant play, he played well - as well as he's played in a month, save for a 32-point explosion against Providence. He didn't shoot lights out (4-for-11 overall and 1-for-4 on 3-pointers), but he finished with 15 points, tied a season high with seven rebounds, had a career-best four steals and made six of his seven free throws, most of them under pressure.
And he played with energy, which is what Huggins insists he was trying to accomplish by sitting Bryant for about six minutes at the start of the game and another two after halftime. When he did enter the game each time, he never came out.
"We're just playing him too many minutes,'' Huggins said. "Even now when I get him in I have a hard time taking him out. He played 32 minutes and that's [four minutes each half] of rest. He's just playing too much.
"We need him to guard and he hasn't guarded because he's gotten tired. And he really hasn't made shots because he's been tired. We need to keep him off the floor some.''
Indeed, it's not hard to imagine that at least part of Bryant's struggles of late have been because of overwork. Prior to the game at Pitt, West Virginia had gone just 2-5, a stretch during which Bryant averaged 40.6 minutes (two of the games went to overtime). He had not come out of a game even for a second since WVU last played Pitt, playing 45 minutes at Providence and 40 each against Notre Dame and Louisville. He also played 39 minutes against Syracuse and Pitt the first time, and "just" 37 at St. John's.
Earlier this season he played all 50 minutes of a double-overtime win over Kansas State and all 45 in back-to-back overtime games against Missouri State and Baylor.
Granted, teammate Kevin Jones has played even more minutes - 40 or more in eight straight games, including Thursday's at Pitt - but Bryant is generally covering more ground on defense while guarding backcourt players as opposed to big men.

Thanksgiving Kids' Table Ideas How to Have the Cutest Kids Table This Thanksgiving by Rebecca M Gruber 11/25/13 16 Reactions 54 Shares Print 27 9 18 0 0 Thanksgiving dinner may center around a long, delicious meal, but when there are little kids in the mix, it tends to feel more like fast food, because dinner gets inhaled and the kids go back to their fun and games. But when the kids have a special table — filled with details and activities just for them — they're more likely to spend a few extra minutes sitting at it. We turned to Darcy Miller, editorial director for Martha Stewart Weddings, and a mother of three, for some tips for creating a kid-friendly dinner that both parents and kids can enjoy. Among her ideas is using craft paper as a tablecloth and an orange paper runner with a punched edge for accent; the paper doubles as a great way to keep the kids entertained. Placing coloring pages, crayons, stickers, and rubber stamps (holiday-themed, of course) on the table can also help keep them at the table a few minutes longer. Keep reading for more of Darcy's tips, as well links to free downloads you can print out for your own Thanksgiving festivities. Source: Martha Stewart Living Create a Turkey-rific Kids' Table What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "This paper turkey shape makes for a creative place card. You can either lay it down flat or cut a slit in the bottom and stand it up with a folded paper napkin," Darcy says. "You could [also] hole-punch and string them together on a mantle." To continue the harvest feel of the table, Darcy embellished kid-safe gold paper cups with glitter leaf stickers, an activity Darcy suggests the kids work on before or during the meal. 1 / 8 Get the Kids Involved With Their Table What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kids' place mats with Darcy's artwork (available as a free download from Martha Stewart) are great for kids to color. She says, "You can laminate and use them as place mats afterward, or put them in your scrapbook." Candy- and popcorn-filled cups are transformed into ships when adorned with Darcy's pilgrims artwork and Mayflower template (also available as a free download from Martha Stewart). The orange runner is made of paper and the Martha Stewart Crafts Deep Edge Punch. Note: Drawings by Darcy Miller/Designs by Cheree Berry 2 / 8 Personalize Place Mats What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Darcy suggests using her downloadable place mats as both a decoration and an activity for your Thanksgiving feast. She says, "You and your family can use them to decorate the table and share what you're thankful for this season. Print in color or black and white if your kids want to color them in themselves." Note: Drawings by Darcy Miller/Designs by Cheree Berry 3 / 8 Blend the Grown-Ups' Table With the Kids' Table What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Darcy made these little pumpkins festive for the holiday with gold Martha Stewart Craft Paint. You can attach a paper banner to turn the gourds into a place card and then add the rest to the table. Chocolate Godiva turkeys and pumpkin truffles add some sweetness to the table. 4 / 8 Create a "Thankful Tree" What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A "Thankful Tree" is a great alternative to buying expensive flowers. "Pick branches out of your yard or from the farmers market the weekend before so you don't have to worry about it when it's time to start cooking," Darcy says. "Adorn the tree with paper leaves, and every guest can write what they're thankful for on a leaf. It's important to remind everyone at your table what this holiday is about." To create the tree, Darcy filled cylinders with curly willow branches. The outside of the cylinders are decorated with gold fine paper that is punched with the Martha Stewart Crafts Daisy Fan Deep Edge Punch. The individual leaves come from Etsy seller Courtney McFarland to create a real Fall look. 6 / 8 Add Some Fun Touches to the Table What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Little touches help round out the table decor. More free printables from Darcy can be used to organize the meal or as scratch pads for kids. Drinking glasses can be dressed up with Oriental Trading Thanksgiving stickers (something the kids can do to help get the table ready for guests). And cylinders can be made into elegant centerpieces with the addition of punched paper. Darcy also suggests attaching the punched paper to pillar candles with a piece of double-sided tape. Note: Drawings by Darcy Miller/Designs by Cheree Berry 6 / 8 Sweet Desserts What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's easy to go overboard on Thanksgiving desserts, but with miniature versions of things — like cake pops and cupcakes — guests can have a small bite without feeling too full. Darcy says, "These bite-sized apple pie cupcakes from Baked by Melissa are a huge hit with kids and adults. Style them on a cake stand easily decorated with punched gold paper." Darcy's sketch of the Mayflower, pilgrims, and turkeys (available as free downloads from Martha Stewart) personalize the dessert table for Thanksgiving. Note: Drawings by Darcy Miller/Designs by Cheree Berry 7 / 8 Keep the Memories Alive Long Past the Holiday What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When the day's done, take the leaves off the tree and put them in a scrapbook.

Smartphones become an integral part of the shopping experience
For merchants who see "window shopping" as being a few steps removed from the transaction process, mobile is about to once again shake things up. Outside Norma Kmali's botique in Manhattan, shoppers will now be able to point their smartphone cameras at merchandise in the window and buy it, any time and any day, even when the store is closed.
But that kind of technology is not available only for New Yorkers. In fact, according to an article published in the New York Times, many retailers are already testing new mobile technologies (apps) that will allow their customers to use their smartphones as an integral part of their daily shopping experiences.
Take for example ScanLife, the same app that is used at Norma Kamali's store allows customers to scan bar codes on merchandise and obtain details about the clothes through videos or and then, with a click, purchase that item. Or another I.B.M. called Presence. Once shoppers are signed up they can be detected as soon as they set foot in a store. This enables the app to offer the shoppers a real-time coupon or product recommendations delivered instantly to their smartphone. In addition, Presence is also able to do perform predictive analitycs and suggest to shoppers products they are likely to desire based on their previous purchases.
Smartphone apps such as the two mentioned above are driving sales by strengthening the link between actual stores and the Web by offering customers a richer and more entertaining shopping experience. Technology companies behind such products say we are surely expected to see wider deployments of these types of apps by 2011. This year we are expected to see more and more barcodes around, so that We will be able not only to scan merchandise and obtain details about them, but also to add them to gift registries or even to wishlists.

A Ride With Omega Pharma-Quickstep
Late last week I received a rather last-minute invitation from the PR machine at Specialized. They were wondering if I might be able to carve out a day to spend with Tom Boonen, Levi Leipheimer and the members of Omega Pharma-Quickstep's Tour of California squad. After a quick consult with Mrs. Padraig, I started packing. I mean, who says no?
Now, I'm not going to try to snow you. We all know that this was a visit that didn't carry the journalistic weight of a post-race press conference. Like I care. I am, at my core, a fan of all things cycling (okay, most things cycling; I'm still unwilling to ride a recumbent). And even though I have at times been critical of Tom Boonen for losing his focus as a professional athlete, I've been an admirer of his since his U.S. Postal days.
So I took a brief tour of OPQ's makeshift service course before heading to the big, red S for our ride. I learned a few things while checking out their set up. First, almost the entire team is still on SRAM's original Red group. Yes, Boonen won Roubaix on 2012 Red, but all the bikes I saw other than his featured Black Red. I also asked a bit about what bikes the riders receive and how much steering they receive about what bike should be ridden when. Specialized is pretty proud of the fact that Tommeke won Ghent-Wevelgem on a Venge, Flanders on a Tarmac and Roubaix on a Roubaix. So I've been curious to know how much of this was rider preference vs. sponsor input. I was surprised to learn that it's 100 percent up to the rider. Getting this answer once from a team liaison was good, but not good enough. So I asked around a bit more, finally asking Boonen himself about his bike choice. Each time I got the same answer.
Each rider is given two Venges and two Tarmacs at the beginning of the season. They also receive a Roubaix for Roubaix. Boonen indicated that his bike of preference is the Venge and he goes for the Tarmac when the course is a bit rougher.
Mike Sinyard with the great Wilfried Peeters, DS for OPQ
As one of the largest bike companies in the world, Specialized is a complicated entity. They've engaged in some business practices that have soured some people, notably the lawsuits with Volagi and Giro. And it's not too hard to find former employees who can't quite rinse the bitter taste from their mouths. Even among the happy, current employees, there's widespread acknowledgement that Sinyard demands a lot from his workforce. In the same breath people add that he isn't shy with the praise, though, and they do feel valued. I hate the phrase "work hard and play hard" because it has become such a cliché, but if ever there was an organization where the saying is applicable, Specialized is arguably it.
It's a pretty rare day that any of the stars that Specialized sponsors actually visits the HQ. To my knowledge, this was the first time Boonen had visited; same for teammates like former world champion Bert Grabsch. The marketing team laid siege to the building, putting up posters, making up personalized stickers to put on the shower lockers each of the riders would use (alas, Leipheimer didn't make it due to his ongoing recovery), embroidering towels and wash cloths, catering lunch and plenty more.
Is this sort of red-carpet treatment something that means much to the riders? I kinda doubt it. Sure, it must be fun for them, but this particular lot seemed on the introverted side and happy just to keep to themselves. I think it means a great deal more to the employees of Specialized. It's easy for most of them to spend months or a year (or more) on a project and not necessarily see that translate to a big pro win. So events like these are a great way for them to connect to their work in a bigger-picture way. And let's be honest, going out for your company's lunch ride accompanied by some of the world's finest pros has got be pretty stinkin' cool.
The shot above is one of my favorites from the Specialized lunch ride that day. Unlike other occasions when the big boys join a group ride, these guys sifted through the group and spent some time chatting with the staffers. The pace stayed pretty mellow so that moving through the group wasn't exactly risky among this unknown quantity.
At one point one of the members of the marketing team rode up to me and asked if I wanted to get my picture with any of the riders. I'm rather camera shy these days, even though I used to spend more time in front of the camera than behind it, so I initially said no. Part of my motivation was thinking that this is really about the Specialized employees and the event was really meant to give them a chance to interact with these athletes.
Then I came to my senses.
"Well, if someone was to accidentally on purpose get a photo of me next to Tom Boonen, I wouldn't object."
A few ks later, "Hey Patrick, look what I brought you!"

I turn and it's Tom Boonen. After a brief reintroduction I admitted that I was among that army of journalists who had been rough on him in the past. So it was with some delight that I was able to tell him that in rediscovering his old form and having the spring he did, I was pleased for him. He was as gracious as one might hope. We talked a bit about what he changed for this season and while the details were plenty interesting, what captivated me was hearing him talk about going back to old-school training and just logging thousands of kilometers. I nearly fell of my saddle when he said, "I told the guys, let's do this old school, like back when we were juniors."
He was so relaxed about his training and yet there was an animation to him as he talked about riding. Say what you want, Tom Boonen really loves to ride his bike.

Great food, great bread, and for London, great prices. What's not to like? Right now there's game on the menu with Partridge and Grouse. Also the specialities of the house such as calamari "bolognese" the pasta is strips of white calamari and the sauce is made from the tentacles. Also the boned and breaded pigs trotter is a classic. Make sure you ask for a garlic brioche with your bread...more
I have eaten at fine restaurants all over the world and this restaurant is on the top of my list. The service here is wonderful and the food delicious and fresh. It's hard to find great food in London and this was truly amazing.
The space is beautiful, clean and tasteful. The treats on your way out made it even better.more
The service here is IMPECCABLE and the food delicious. We were greeted warmly, given as much as time we needed with our meal (3 hours!), and were even given little bags of goodies when we left. I'm generally a bit skeptical of the prix fixe lunch but the quality was superb. I would come back here without any hesitation.more
I'm quite a fan of The Berkeley's dining options - notably the hotel bar and Marcus Wareing's eponymous restaurant. Given Pierre Koffmann's cooking background, I expected warm, hearty Gascon fare. Sadly, the food wasn't great. Average at best.
BUT...I have to say that service was perfect. Genuine and inviting from the moment I walked in the door and passed over my jacket, to the servers who...more
Nothing much more to add to my review to the existing one. The pig trotters are certainly worth trying but be warned if you're not at ease at seeing the trotters in full form. (of course I didn't care). I ordered from the set menu which was the rabbit terrine and hare in pastry which was a little on the heavy side but delicious.more

Questions about Fuel Systems

MrShift@Edmunds Posts: 43,341
valensdad Posts: 1my wife was driving her 2000 lincoln navigator when it stalled and died and would not start back on her about 1/4 mile after she left our house. when i got there i did the normal check (air, spark, fuel) when i checked the fuel relief valve no fuel was coming out, but pumps stills run. i havent got a pressure guage yet, but i also noticed the oil pressure guage droped but the oil level is correct. She said it never ran hot are anything, just stalled and died. im really worried that its something serious b/c i know anytime your oil pressure drops its not good. PLEASE HELP!!!
MrShift@Edmunds Posts: 43,341
burdawg Posts: 1,524How could you read the oil pressure guage if you couldn't get it started? Even if the pump runs it doesn't mean the fuel pressure is right, or even if fuel is flowing. The regulator could have failed, or the pump itself could be running but not outputting anything (not as likely), the filter could be clogged badly (again not as likely). The fuel pump volume should be checked along with the pressure.
trp1 Posts: 1I have a 2009 Mini Cooper S automatic which is stalling while i am driving. Also, when I went to start it this morning, it attempted to kick over but wouldn't until the 8th attempt. Is this a fuel injection issue? I received a letter from the mini manufacturer regarding their high pressure fuel pump in which they have extended the warranty due to problems. The car has only 39,000 miles.

This is a lovely eyeshadow palette and I'm really happy to have added these shades to my collection.
I'm pretty sure this palette would be even better if I wasn't so fair skinned, so perhaps this may work well in the summer. I love middle plum and gold shade, I wish the palette had a gold to pair with it. I have blended with my Naked 2 palette almost every time I've used it.
The eyeshadow is a bit messy when applying, I have to make sure to give some extra taps on my brush so that I don't have a ton of eyeshadow fall on my cheeks.
I love how highly pigmented the shades are, one pass gives a strong color.
Overall, a good palette with some unique colors that may work VERY well for others.
Really love this palette. I will use all colors.. Very nice shades very wearable. Soft and creamy and stayed on me...
I love this eye palette! The shadow goes on flawlessly and it blends really nice. I have brown eyes and the colors work perfect for me.
Super cute packaging, but I ultimately wasn't as excited as I thought I'd be. Powder doesn't stay very well without primer. The cranberry with the gold flakes just comes out kind of dark and wasn't as neat as I'd hoped.
Just started using this pallet with Cynthia Rowley's eye-liner and LOVE how they work together. The eyeshadow is long-lasting as it has been on for almost 12 hours and looks like it did this morning! Love it!
I purchased this after all of the hype about the new palette. I do like many of the shades but some are very dark, which limits how I can use them (and I'm not afraid of dark eyeshadow either). I also experienced really dry patches on my eyelids when I was using the product daily. I have temperamental skin, so I'm not sure if the shadow caused it, but I did start using it much less after.
I love the colors in this palette. Really beautiful plum shades! (Not sure how these look on other eye colors, but I can say they look amazing on brown eyes!) These shadows also have long staying power and don't smudge, flake, or show creases. I'm glad I have this!
These eye shadows are so beautifully, richly pigmented, and the colors complimented my skin tone beautifully. No creasing, no stray powder getting everywhere. Overall very nice!
This is a wonderful combination of colors for my brown eyes and pale skin. The color goes on easily. You don't need to keep reapplying it. I never use all five together, two or three will do, but they always look good. I like to use the champagne as a highlighter on my cheeks too.
I love this pretty little palette, it's very flattering on my brown eyes, dark hair, and light skin tone. Like a lot of other reviewers, my palette arrived with one of the colors broken, but Birchbox is sending me a replacement. Sometimes launch products have glitches, but this one is worth it. It's so lovely. Can't wait to see more Cynthia Rowley make-up!
