Mobile Device Security (Departments)
Mobile devices are subject to increased risk of loss, breakage, theft and unauthorized use. The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for the appropriate use and security of mobile devices in order to protect the East Carolina University (ECU) network and/or information from unauthorized access or disclosure and minimize the threat of theft and loss.
Guidelines for the Use of Mobile Devices
- For all department portable devices, inventory the serial numbers, locations and employees to whom they are issued.
- Desktop and laptop computers purchased using state funds (including grant monies) are required to be ordered through the Combined Pricing Initiative (CPI), the bulk IT purchasing program. Visit the website for computer models, specifications and pricing details.
- If sensitive data must be stored on flash drives, purchase drives equipped with onboard hardware-based AES encryption. ITCS recommends Ironkey-encrypted flash drives. Please note that the passwords used on these encrypted flash drives must adhere to the same strength requirements as an ECU PirateID. These drives should also be included on the department's portable device inventory.
- Personal mobile devices that access the ECU network must conform to best security practices such as strong passwords, updated antivirus and updated security patches, if applicable. If a mobile device cannot conform to the best practices outlined above, use best security practices available and avoid storing sensitive data on the device.
- ECU-issued Windows devices receive automatic antivirus and operating system security patch updates when connected to the ECU network. Remember to regularly connect the device to the ECU network to receive these updates. All other devices require users to enable automatic updates for antivirus and security patches.
- Always perform a virus scan on a flash drive when:
- this is the drive's first use (brand new, out of the package)
- the drive belongs to someone else (e.g., vendor, co-worker, student)
- the drive is out of your span of control
Recommendations for the Secure Use of Mobile Devices
- Use of Personal Devices. Never download ECU data to non-ECU portable devices. Store the data on an ECU administrative system, ECU managed Server or Pirate Drive and access the data via the secure Virtual Private Network (VPN).
- Appropriate Access and Use of Sensitive Information. Sensitive information must not be stored on mobile devices without prior approval from your department Director or Chair. Additional reviews by ECU data owners are required for the following types of data: FERPA, HIPAA, credit card, Social Security Numbers (SSN) and certain personal identifiable information (PII). Contact the ITCS Help Desk at 252.328.9866 to request an information security consult for these types of data.
- Use of Personal Identifiable Information (PHI). Additional security controls and standards must be implemented if storing PHI. Please review the HIPAA Workstation Security and HIPAA Portable Device Policies prior to storing PHI and contact Information Security prior to storage.
- Physical Protection. Mobile devices owned or issued by the university must not be left unattended and, when possible, must be physically locked away or secured. In addition, any portable media (for example, portable hard drives, CD or DVD disks) used to back up systems containing sensitive information must be encrypted and stored securely in locked drawers, cabinets or other secure enclosures at ECU.
- Lost or Stolen Devices. Immediately contact your supervisor and the ECU Police (252.328.6787) to report a lost or stolen ECU mobile device. The university must report all stolen university-owned computers to the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI). Immediately notify the ITCS Help Desk at 252.328.9866 if there is any possibility the lost or stolen device contained sensitive data. Err on the side of caution, if unsure.
- Virus Protection. Any mobile device capable of using antivirus software must have the software installed and configured to maintain updated virus signatures. Visit the antivirus software entry of the ITCS service catalog to learn more.
- Use of Encryption. All laptops, tablet PCs, flash drives and other mobile devices that store sensitive data must consistently encrypt all files using the university's standard encryption technology. Any device storing HIPAA, FERPA, PCI (credit card) and SSNs must be registered with Information Security prior to storage. If you have sensitive data stored on your desktop and/or departmental servers, contact the IT Help Desk (252.328.9866) to request an IT security consult to ensure this information is registered.
- Secure Connectivity. Any sensitive information transmitted to or from the mobile device (e.g., wireless or the Internet) must be encrypted (ECU encrypted wireless network or VPN over Internet).
- Disabling Unused Services. Wireless, infrared, Bluetooth or other connection features should be turned off when not in use.
- Password Storage. Storing user IDs and passwords is prohibited on unencrypted mobile devices.
- Use in Public. Reasonable care must be taken when using mobile computing facilities in public places, meeting rooms or other unprotected areas outside of ECU's premises to avoid the unauthorized access to or disclosure of the information stored on or accessed by the device.
- Traveling Abroad. When traveling abroad with an ECU-owned mobile device, please contact John Chinn, University Export Controls Administrator, at 252.328.9473 to discuss export control requirements prior to your travel.
- Report a Security Incident. Immediately report to your supervisor any suspected misuse or data breach of a mobile device and the ITCS Help Desk at 252.328.9866.
- Termination of University Relationship. All university-owned mobile devices must be returned to ECU prior to or immediately upon termination of the assigned user's relationship with the university. In addition, university-purchased software installed on personal mobile devices must be removed immediately by the user. All sensitive information must be removed from the device immediately prior to or upon termination of the assigned user's relationship with the University.
- Proper Disposal of the Device. All ECU devices, including mobile devices and other electronic equipment used to store sensitive information must be sanitized prior to transfer to another user, disposal or repair. Contact the ITCS Help Desk at 252.328.9866. See the Disk Sanitizing Policy.
- FERPAThe Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act defines the requirements for the protection of the privacy of student records.
- GBLA The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, a federal law enacted in the United States to control the ways that financial institutions deal with the private information of individuals.
- HIPAA The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act defines the requirements for the protection of the patient privacy and the security of their protected health information (PHI).
- Mobile Device includes any device that is both portable and capable of collecting, storing, transmitting or processing electronic data or images. Examples include but are not limited to, laptops or tablets (e.g., iPads), personal digital assistants (PDAs) and "smart" phones such as Blackberries and iPhones. This definition also includes storage media, such as USB hard drives or USB flash drives, SD or Compact CDs, DVDs, Flash cards and any peripherals connected to a mobile device.
- PCI The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is a set of policies and procedures intended to optimize the security of credit, debit and cash card transactions and protect cardholders against misuse of their personal information.
- Personal Mobile Device Includes any mobile device not owned or issued by ECU.
- PHI Protected Health Information is any information about health status, provision of health care or payment for health care that can be linked to a specific individual.
- PII Personally identifiable information*
- Sensitive information includes PII, PHI, student educational record information (FERPA) that is protected by law or regulation, financial data protected by law or regulation (PCI, GLBA), as well as other proprietary information that, if inappropriately disclosed, can cause harm to the university. Guidelines for identifying and protecting sensitive information at ECU are discussed in Guidelines for Protecting Sensitive Data.

Notes: Miles gets the nod at second
Hancock rounds out bullpen; Rodriguez relieved
JUPITER, Fla. -- Cardinals manager Tony La Russa formally named switch-hitting infielder Aaron Miles the team's Opening Day second baseman on Saturday morning before the Cardinals' 2-1 loss to the New York Mets in their Spring Training finale.Miles, 5-foot-8 and 177 pounds, narrowly beat out proven veteran and former All-Star Junior Spivey and Hector Luna for the starting spot, and will most likely bat eighth in the batting order in Monday's opener at 2:05 p.m. CT at Philadelphia.
La Russa said Spivey and Luna "are losing playing time to the guy that was the underdog," but the move is not permanent."Right now, Aaron is going to play Opening Day," La Russa said. "I will try in that first week or 10 days to make sure everybody plays somewhere, sometime. Some guys are going to get more playing time than others. "I'm going to go in there and try to win the first series, and I know Aaron is going to play the first game, and if he does a nice job, he has a chance to play in the second one. [If] he doesn't do a good job, someone else will play." Spivey said he wasn't going to make any excuses for a lackluster spring, in which he hit just .152 and committed five errors. "At the beginning of the [regular] season, you've got a clean slate," Spivey said. "I know what I'm capable of doing. It's just been a bad spring -- what can you say?" Miles missed almost two weeks of games after jamming his left hand. Since then, the 29-year-old, entering his third season in the Major Leagues, had seven hits in 14 at-bats and struck out only once in 34 at-bats this spring. The Cardinals acquired Miles in a Dec. 7 trade from the Colorado Rockies, along with outfielder Larry Bigbie, for lefty reliever Ray King. Miles started at second and batted eighth on Saturday, and fielded two ground balls cleanly at the top of the first inning, and lined a single to right in his first at-bat in the third. In the top of the fourth, with two men on, Carlos Delgado hit a sharp grounder to Miles, who quickly started a 4-6-3 double play to get out of the jam. "If you look at my stats, it's probably my best spring," Miles said. "The guy who's playing good is the guy who's going to play the most." In the sixth inning, Miles moved over to third base, and Spivey came in to play second. The Mets' Jose Valentin, who reached base on a two-out triple, scored on Spivey's fifth error of the spring. Spivey misplayed a ground ball to his right to allow the run. Hancock earns final bullpen spot: On Friday, La Russa and pitching coach Dave Duncan solidified their bullpen by reassigning Alan Benes and Brian Falkenborg to Minor League camp, and retaining non-roster pitcher Josh Hancock.

CA-10: Polls Still Show us on Top, Public Option Remains a Top Agenda Item
by JohnGaramendi, Sat Aug 29, 2009 at 12:15:01 PM EDT
Last night Survey USA and KPIX CBS 5 released a new poll showing that our campaign for Congress remains largely unchanged. With 25 percent of the vote, I still lead the pack, with Senator Mark DeSaulnier at 16 percent, Assemblymember Joan Buchanan at 12 percent, Anthony Woods at 9 percent, and undecided voters at 5 percent. This largely mirrors every publicly released poll since I entered the election.
Among Democrats, my lead is even starker: 37 percent favor me, 23 percent favor DeSaulnier, 18 percent favor Buchanan, 13 percent favor Woods, and only 2 percent are undecided. Most importantly, our great team of volunteers is effectively converting the support identified in the Survey USA and other polls into actual votes cast. Among those who have already voted, our considerable lead holds: 27 percent voted for me, 18 percent for DeSaulnier, 13 percent for Buchanan, and 10 percent for Woods.
Our lead holds among all demographic groups, including Obama voters, men, women, all age groups, all races, all levels of educational achievement, and all income levels. Our support is broad based and diverse. As the only candidate who has represented all corners of the 10th Congressional District, the voters know where I stand. As CBS 5 explained, "DeSaulnier and Buchanan have failed to make inroads since CBS 5's last poll 16 days ago."
Clearly, with Election Day fast approaching this Tuesday, we like where we stand.
The poll explains the what, but it fails to explain the why. I'm proud of the campaign we've run. We're convinced the polls are a reflection of voter support for a positive issues-based campaign that has emphasized solid Democratic principles and experience that can deliver results.
Health care over the flip...

|Years played
|2008, 4th round, 2nd pick by Rams
Patriots restocked roster after Super Bowl wins
We look at how defending Super Bowl champions drafted from 2000-09. Some teams — such as the 2005 Patriots, who drafted OG Logan Mankins — fared well, while others struggled.
Fantasy position battles: QBs
With Ben Roethlisberger suspended, PFW's Michael Blunda says the Steelers' QB battle between Byron Leftwich and Dennis Dixon is one to watch this preseason.
Roethlisberger can be low-risk fantasy pick
Depending upon your league format and the QB depth available, the risk of drafting Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is minimal, and one that could pay dividends later in the fall.
Steelers left to replace dependable ORT Colon
With the Steelers likely to be without ORT Willie Colon for the entire 2010 season after he reportedly tore his Achilles tendon on Monday, Pittsburgh is faced with replacing a key member of its offensive line.
Steelers' Colon to undergo season-ending surgery
Steelers ORT Willie Colon will undergo surgery Wednesday to repair an Achilles tendon he tore during a workout Monday morning, effectively ending his 2010 season. Meanwhile, the Steelers brought in free-agent OT Flozell Adams, a former Cowboy, for a visit ...
Report: Steelers OT Colon suffers Achilles tear
Steelers ORT Willie Colon suffered a torn Achilles tendon during a workout Monday morning, ESPN.com reported Monday, an injury that may be season-ending for the longtime starter.
Steelers' Gibson believes collegiate OLB experience helpful
Steelers rookie Thaddeus Gibson primarily played defensive end at Ohio State, but he's has some experience at outside linebacker, the position he'll play in Pittsburgh's scheme.
Steelers sign draft picks Scott, Butler
The Steelers signed OT Chris Scott and CB Crezdon Butler, both fifth-round picks, to three-year contracts on Wednesday. Pittsburgh has signed eight of its 10 draft picks.
Steelers sign WR Sanders, two other picks
The Steelers announced the signings of three draft picks — WR Emmanuel Sanders, LB Stevenson Sylvester and RB Jonathan Dwyer — on Tuesday.
Reports: Steelers sign WR Brown
The Steelers have signed WR Antonio Brown, a sixth-round pick from Central Michigan, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on his Twitter feed Tuesday.
Steelers agree with Gibson, Worthington
The Steelers have agreed to terms on contracts with rookies OLB Thaddeus Gibson and DT Doug Worthington, the club announced Friday. Gibson and Worthington played collegiately at Ohio State.
Steelers sign LS-LB Stewart, cut Retkofsky
The Steelers announced Tuesday that they have signed veteran LS-LB Matt Stewart to a one-year deal.
Art Rooney Jr. remembers
Art Rooney Jr.'s father, "the Chief," would hand out cigars. Art Jr. hands out stories … fine, aged ones that never lose their taste. Decades of football kept in neat little bundles. His humidor is never locked.
Steelers' training-camp QB plan not yet unveiled
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger rejoined the club this week for the next-to-last round of OTAs, and the noticeably slimmer passer took snaps with the first-team offense.
Roethlisberger thankful for "second chance"
In his first public comments since rejoining the team last week, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger said he has "put a lot of thought into my life, the decisions I've made in the past" and has worked with NFL commissioner ...
King is inactive for Sunday's game against San Francisco.||||||| King has a stinger to his neck and left shoulder.
King's rookie season is over before it started after he tore a ligament in his left big toe in Saturday night's preseason opener against Tennessee. The injury will require season-ending surgery.||||||| King will be placed on injured reserve. The fourth-round draft choice from Penn State had made a strong early impression in camp and was working as the team's third cornerback against Tennessee. Thought to be more of a raw prospect than an instant contributor, King proved to be more ready for game action than originally thought. He was playing regularly in the team's nickel package against the Titans before coming out with about 2 minutes left in the first quarter.
The Rams agreed to terms Wednesday on a three-year contract with King, the team's fourth-round draft pick.||||||| King, the 101st overall pick, played at Penn State, where he was an all-Big Ten first-team selection in 2007.

"We're trying to get in. Some people don't want us in." That's the message Willie Ratcliff took from the bullet that crashed through our bedroom window at 1:45 a.m. on Thursday, May 13. Ratcliff has a hunch it was fired by someone trying to scare him out of competing to build the new Bayview Library. Someone must be scared that Black power is about to break the 12-year lockout of Blacks from construction in San Francisco. Black power does not bow to a bullet.

PITTSBURG — Moses Dayee hit a guarded 3-pointer with 29 seconds remaining to spark No. 17 Fort Hays State to a 70-63 over Pitt State Wednesday (Feb. 23) at John Lance Arena.
The Tigers (22-5, 16-5 MIAA) led 65-63 in the game's final minute before Dayee hit his baseline jumper with the shot clock winding down. The Gorillas (13-12, 9-12 MIAA) missed on the other end of the floor and Dayee then made two free throws with 16 seconds left to seal the victory.
FHSU led by 11 points, at 61-50, with 7:29 remaining before Pitt State tried to rally down the stretch. Eric Ray, who led all scorers with 19 points, hit a 3-pointer with 52 seconds to draw the Gorillas within two points at 65-63.
Ken Bowman led the Tigers with 17 points, while Dominique Jones and Dayee added 13 apiece. Dijon Smith finished with six points, nine rebounds and three blocked shots.
Andra Bailey had nine points, 13 rebounds, four assists, two blocked shots and four steals for the Gorillas, while Chris Ware added 10 points and seven rebounds.
Pitt State shot just 35.5 percent from the floor (22 of 62) in the game.

Save the "Roman Bridge" in Blackpill
The "Roman Bridge" in Blackpill, Swansea is a Grade 2 listed bridge and is piece of history. The Council in Swansea have allowed it to become so overgrown with weeds that the structural integrity is now threatened. The Council currently have no plan in place for the urgent work needed to preserve the bridge. We, the undersigned, believe that Swansea Council (as the owners) of the "Roman Bridge" should restore the bridge urgently, before it is too late.

Heavyweight power vs. speed – see the dangerously hard-hitting Mark Hunt take on the lightning-fast hands of Junior Dos Santos at UFC 160.
This is a total dream fight to me.. Can't wait.
As much as we all want to see them stand and bang, JDS would be silly not to put him on his back, why take the chance of loosing?
Two classy guys!
no disrespect meant but this is a micmatch
Watch JDS run away, bait with punches to go for takedowns gnp and subs.
If you ever saw Hunt in K1 you know he has a granite chin. For me, since I see the Cain vs Bigfoot fight as a mismatch, I see this fight as the real main event of the card.
The dream fight is Mark Hunt X Roy Nelson!!
A Junior Condit performance maybe?
umm rogan you're full of s*** lol. the greatest chin in the universe of all time before the land of time!!! Sure its good but manhoef slept him and CC knocked him down with lhk. imo BJPenn got GOAT chin. anderson is second and hunt third, i guess. shogun got chin , hong man choi got chin
Hunt hits too hard & JDS can't KO iron chinned fighters like Nelson.
Hunt hits far harder than even Nelson so he only needs to land once and JDS will be on Queer Street…again like vs Cain in his last fight.
if JDS gets into any trouble in this fight
he will take hunt down and finish it easy
he needs this win to much
I love both guys, but it's WAR Hunt all the way on this one!
the only way that JDS wins is using his BJJ,,,,
I don't know who I like for this fight, I love both fighters..junior might try to drag it to third round, where mark is usually tired. either way great fight.
Dang… I love both guys. I wish Mark Hunt could've been paired with Overeem instead.
Fullmoon fight night….
Whoever is saying JDS cannot KO certain types of fighters is crazy..
Hunt has a solid chin that is very true but both fighters are able to be KO'd.
I see this standing for 2 rounds, JDS taking it down in the 3rd and having his way with Hunt.
It will be a gr8 fight though super excited, for me this is the main event.
Then Nelson vs Hunt / Mir vs Barnett
It's so tedious to read how JDS can only win by submission. I thought this is MMA, whoever wins, wins by using his MIXED martial arts skills. This bullshit about "that guy is a better striker" makes no sense.
Unfortunately, I see JDS winning this by LNP. I hope Hunt knocks him out first.

Chipper looks back to favorite All-Star memories
Braves third baseman to enjoy experience for eighth time in final season
ATLANTA -- Chipper Jones planned to spend next week with his children. But having learned on Tuesday that he will replace Matt Kemp on the National League All-Star roster, it appears their time together will be spent in Kansas City for next week's All-Star Game.
Jones, who was in the lead on the 2012 All-Star Game MLB.com Final Vote ballot presented by Firestone, will now certainly be making his eighth career All-Star appearance.
"I've savored each and every one of them," said Jones. "It's a tremendous honor.
"Making All-Star teams, in a certain sense, is a popularity contest. But when you go to a bunch of them, you separate yourself as the elite of the elite. Everyone who dons a Major League uniform is an elite ballplayer. But when you get to an All-Star Game, that puts you in a different category."
As Jones moves toward retirement at the end of this season, he will have one more chance to feel the excitement that was present when he was surrounded by childhood idols Barry Larkin and Ozzie Smith as he prepared to serve as the NL's starting third baseman during his first All-Star Game in 1996.
"I took ground balls at third base during batting practice and I looked over, and there is Barry Larkin and Ozzie Smith," Jones said. "I came up as a shortstop, so the three guys I looked up to when I was growing up were Barry, Ozzie and Cal Ripken. I had two of them taking ground balls 20 feet to my left."
Jones singled in his first at-bat against Charles Nagy, and shared his first All-Star experience with fellow Braves legends Bobby Cox, John Smoltz, Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine. But the pregame conversation with Larkin and Smith was his greatest memory of the event.
"As [Ozzie] was taking ground balls, he was having a conversation with us and flipping the balls to second base without even looking, and he was hitting the guy in the chest," Jones said. "Then all of the sudden, he said, 'I want to throw a couple to first [base].' So we're talking and he's throwing them to first. He turns and looks at me and asks, 'Is that hitting him in the chest?'
"So I was like, 'Yeah, it is. How do you do that?' I looked at Barry and he said, 'Don't look at me, I can't do that.' That let me know what kind of company I was in, because Ozzie was doing things with the glove that nobody could fathom."
When the All-Star Game came to Atlanta four years later, Jones took full advantage of the chance to shine in front of the hometown fans. His three-hit performance during the 2000 Midsummer Classic was highlighted by his third-inning home run off James Baldwin.
"Not many people get to play an All-Star Game in their own ballpark, and not many people can say they have homered in an All-Star Game in their own ballpark," Jones said. "Obviously, I had a great game that night."
Looking back on some of his past All-Star experiences, Jones still brightens when reminded that he hit directly behind Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds during the 1998 All-Star Game at Coors Field. In addition, he will always savor the opportunity he had to play in the last All-Star Game ever staged at the old Yankee Stadium in 2008. His father, a devout Mickey Mantle fan, was in attendance.
"They're all great memories," Jones said. "I have mementos from All-Star Games past littered all over my basement. It's a situation where I take the time to really soak it up and enjoy it."

- Wonderful TimeViking71Dined on 8/29/2014After our families last visit here we were a little dismayed but we do love their chocolate fundo so we gave them another chance and we're glad we did. At first we thought oh great we're going to get stuck with the same cruddy waiters as we did the time before but we lucked out because she was just one of the bussers now, which is a much better position for her. Luckly for us we had a wonderful time out and our server Jazmin was great, very sweet and attentive to our needs. Jazmin is probably the best waitress they have there and they do have a lot of them. She pays attention to what you order, ingages when delivering it and not just slam down and run.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- On the decline...PatrickDined on 8/26/2014This used to be my favorite restaurant for date night or special occasions. But each time, it gets a little less attractive. The breads for the cheese was stale. We were given a bunch of broken tortilla chip for dipping and the Fiesta cheese left me with a tequila buzz. It was tough to get waters/drink refills and the timing of everything was way too slow. Server was super friendly and personable, but just was off. I asked for the Signature Wine and Garlic seasoning and was told that they were out of it. Yet I passed many bottles of it for sale as I exited. Going to try the Matterhorn in SF now.Special Features:
- Great to be rememberedErinRobbDined on 8/25/2014I greatly appreciated the fact that the waiter from our previous visit came over and asked my daughter about her trip that she had just taken. They remembered us and the details of our last visit. It was a nice touch on top of the fabulous fondue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Sub-Standard ExperienceScooterBeeDined on 8/24/2014The building is unique and magnificent, and the food better than ever. We were very disappointed, however, with the worst server we've ever had at a Melting Pot - and the noisiest as well, due to the group of unsupervised fourteen-year-olds at the next table. The manager got us the beverages the server didn't bother to ask us about, and provided personality the server was lacking in, saving the service from a "poor" rating. It's a pity the brats were allowed to spoil what should have been outstanding ambience.Special Features:

- Friday night dinnerLGISGIRLDined on 8/22/2014Make sure you are not in a hurry, we had the four course meal and it takes a couple of hours. It was a great experience would absolutely go again!Special Features:
- historic dinningstephidinnerDined on 8/20/2014This location is actually a repurposed brink kiln and has an interesting feel and amazing ambiance. The staff was the best I've experienced in the melting pot franchise. They had many suggestions and selections of wine and beverages and were very tentative to our tables needs. They offer ladies night for the cheapest cost and still offer all four courses as well. They also have lots of interesting events and it's worth checking out more then once a year.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/15/2014Just a wonderful, wonderful time! Everything was perfect!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- special occasioneatwellDined on 8/14/2014This is a great restaurant for a special occasion with the family. The meal takes a while and is interactive so there is time to relax and talk. My teenagers love making the fondu. It is also very delicious. We have gone on various occasions and everyone is always happy with the food, ambience and service.Special Features:
- Not worth the priceSueGDined on 8/12/2014We went to the Melting Pot because our daughter loves cheese and thought fondue would be fun. Yes, it's fun to have nice bread to dip in cheese for one course, but the fruit and veggies that came with that serving were minimal. The prices for each person were ridiculously expensive. Not a fan of the essentially boiled food, since the meats/fish are done in broth and there is not oil to cook in. The sauces were interesting, but again, the small food quantities vs the price make it no where near worth going again or recommending. As my son pointed out, we could do this at home (melt cheese, cook our own food, etc). Even the salad course was a side salad portion for a full salad price.
- Melting Pot melts in your mouth!YumYumDined on 8/10/2014Highly recommend the Seafood Trio - fresh and delicious! The 4-course was the total experience.Special Features:
- Fun with friendsfonduisfunDined on 8/7/2014I always have a great time with friends at The Melting Pot. Lots of time to socialize.Special Features:
- Worst sever ever!Viking71Dined on 8/5/2014This was the worst experience I've ever had at the Melting Pot. I've eaten here more than a dozen times in the last year and have had great fun but this night the waitress had no personality and couldn't get a simple order right. I'm all for anyone and everyone having the opportunity to do whatever they want and work wherever they want but if you can't understand English then being a waitress with no personality is not for you. Throwing my food on the table and walking away without making sure it's right or if I need anything else makes you rude and lazy. Plus if your not 100% sure than it would not hurt to ask as it would save you arguing with me in front of the manager and looking like a bigger fool when he explains how you messed up.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun celebration restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/4/2014Really attentive staff and nice atmosphere. The building is really interesting. Since we were there with 5 people we could get two fondue pots and had a good variety. I would recommend they up the quality of the bread for the cheese fondue. It would be better if the bread wasn't so soft it just melted into the cheese. Also, big chunks of raw potato as a vegetable were not successful as they took 3 times as long to cook as anything else. But overall it was a great place for an evening and again, the staff were really terrific.Special Features:
- Awesome AmbiancebrooksDined on 8/3/2014My boyfriend couldn't have picked a better place to have my birthday dinner. The ambiance was very cool, you feel like you are in your own little world at your table, very private, and its almost like you are underground in tunnels. The food was AHH-MAAZ--INNG. I highly recommend getting the 'Steak Lovers' entree. I will definitely be going back for more birthday dinners and special occasions. If you don't drink your bill is reasonable considering how good the food is and the whole dining experience as a whole. I don't usually write reviews, but felt compelled to do so since we were so happy with our entire dining experience. Also- the wait staff was great and very knowledgable when it came to anything on the menu. 5 Stars.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/1/2014Always an enjoyable meal. Service was a bit spotty that night (maybe they were short?) - has been solid in the past.Special Features:
- A Must ExperienceAuntieAnneDined on 7/29/2014Go with a group of friends. It's really an evening, not just a meal. Cook your own food to your liking. Start with cheese fondue (we had spinach/artichoke) with bread, corn chip, fruit and vegetable dippers. Move on to salad (Caesar and California), then an entree (we picked a surf and turf with filet mignon, shrimp and marinated chicken). It's served with potato, veggie and multiple delish dipping sauces. Finish with a heavenly chocolate fondue--we chose pure dark, but there are lots of choices with things like caramel and marshmallow. To dip in the fondue, you'll find marshmallows, marshmallow crispies, squares of cake and brownie, and fresh fruit. Our server was fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nanato3Dined on 7/29/2014The food here is always a delight. An absolute favorite. The new menu options makes it a much better and viable menu for all. I love that they are making their own bread (for dippers) now and it is delicious. The service could use some improvement.......much too long in between "checking on you" times. I was eating alone the last time I was there, which I do often, and I was there for over two hours for only 3 courses when I'm usually there for an hour or less. Still a terrific place to eat....best in Marin as far as I'm concerned.Special Features:
- A blast!shmexiaDined on 7/26/2014Came here for my bachelorette celebration, had a wonderful experience. Such great food and service! I'll be back for sure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- AWESOME!!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/18/2014From beginning to end our experience was perfect! Thank you for making a surprise birthday dinner such a great experience for my boyfriend!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/18/2014My daughter and I went out for a special mom daughter night and our server Julio was wonderful. He made it specialSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always goodxntrifDined on 7/16/2014We have been to the Melting Pot several times. It is a really cool building and fondue has a "special occasion" feel to it. It is pricey, but you get a lot of food and it is all very good.Special Features:
- Amazing!SarenaDined on 7/15/2014I went in with my family for birthday celebrations and i honestly couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate the special occasion. Anthony was amazing! The 4 of us each got the 4 course, stating off with the spinach artichoke dip, mojo was our cooking style, ending with the delicious mixture of white and dark chocolate "Yin Yang". Ill be heading back for ladies night next month! Thank you so much for an amazing experience Melting pot Larkspur :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amelia22Dined on 7/15/2014Great food, the cheese course is by far my favorite. Service was very slow this time - and we were never asked if we would like another drink.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The ambiance is nice, BUT...Bite2eatDined on 7/14/2014Received a coupon from a friend for a special occasion and this was an adventure. The ambiance was indeed pleasant, the staff attentive and drinks well made. This style of dining is NOT my cup of tea. If I am going to spend over $100 on a meal for two I prefer the entree prepared for me and not self serve. Also I am not accustomed to having dinner take over 3 hours. The conversation yes, but the food prep and cooking of no. Many thanks to the manager Julio who made experience fun and my buddy for the meal. Next time I will find a nice Sushi bar.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/13/2014Poor food + bad hostess attitude + high prices = very low rating. Will not return.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/12/2014We were a large group celebrating and had a great time. Really fun way to eat and socialize. One tip - order less than the number of people you are. We ordered for 5-6 for a group of 9 (including one vegetarian and one child) and it was perfect.Special Features:
- Great Time!kerwayDined on 7/11/2014We ate here for our daughter's 20th birthday, and it was a great success. She said it was possibily her best dinner ever. Really good food and lots of fun to choose the courses and cook and eat at the table.Special Features:
- Bad Fondue and Bad ServiceDisappointedVIPDined on 7/9/2014We are frequent customers, but have not been there for six months. In the meantime, the staff has changed and worse of all they eliminated the Traditional Cheese fondue and the new one has different ingrediants. Different chesses and no sherry. What a mistake. The Traditional was very smooth and had a better flavor than the new one. Very disappointing. Also, the service was super slow. Our server was nice, but overwhelmed. Managers use to be more friendly. Not sure if I will go back.Special Features:
- Awesome LocationOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/4/2014It ids in an old brick kiln. The whole place is made of brick and is really cool inside. It has no cell reception so you are actually isolated from the rest of the world. Good place to get away and have a romantic dinner. Located right on the San Francisco Bay and is a short walk from the Ferry Landing.Special Features:
- et669Dined on 7/4/2014Pros: Great atmosphere, located in an old brick kiln's ovens....rather dark with one spot light directly over the center of the table lighting the fondue pot....rather romantic. Arched ceiling that kills sound reverberations. Service that was as relaxed as it was timely. I liked the fact that their wines-by-the-glass were in the $6 to $9 range. Cons: The cheese fondue had too many "other" flavors added which tarnished the cheese flavor. The sauces were too eclectic and needed some traditional ones such as BBQ and blue cheese.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quiet and Secludedcab211Dined on 7/1/2014The restaurant was quiet, lights were low, a very nice setting. The building is old and brick and adds to the coziness of the restaurant. Will dine again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 21st BdaykellyDined on 7/1/2014The food and service were, as usual, great. Service exceeded expectations this time. The management managed to make a last minute table adjustment for us and pulled together a desert fondue that we loved but was no longer on the menu.Special Features:
- Awesome experienceJcp1Dined on 6/28/2014We went here because were given a gift certificate. It was the best gift ever. We had no idea of what kind of experience it would be, but it was awesome. I would recommend this to anyone. It is a great romantic little getaway or just a great evening out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Melting pot celebrationGoodbutcosthighDined on 6/27/2014My 14 year old and 20 year old love the Melting Pot. Service was great. They did special decorated plates for my son's start of Spain trip, and daughter's birthday and return from Australia. This is their number one location for celebrations. But trips here are limited because of the very, very high cost for family of 3.Special Features:

RALEIGH — The owners of a controversial modernist house in the Oakwood neighborhood got a judges permission Monday to wrap up several aspects of construction.
While an appeal remains pending, Louis Cherry and Marsha Gordon sought a Wake County Superior Court judges blessing to finish installing roofing, siding, heating and air-conditioning, lighting and security systems.
Work will now continue to ensure that our home is protected from the elements, the couple said in a written statement. We are grateful to our attorneys and to the attorneys for the City of Raleigh for making it possible for us to protect our home while we wait for a Superior Court decision.
City attorneys filed an appeal last month after the Board of Adjustment revoked historic commission approval for the house, saying that historic district guidelines werent followed.
If the appeal fails, Cherry and Gordon could be forced to tear down the house. From staff reports

The Tennessean had a story this weekend that made me "happy, happy, happy."
In a March post titled "Duck, duck, goose: Media miss faith angle on 'Duck Dynasty,'" I complained about the media's failure to get religion in its coverage of the Duck Family Robertson. Ever shy about touting my own stories (not), I referred to the "Faith, family and ducks" piece I wrote for The Christian Chronicle.
Well, as a leading newspaper in the heart of the Bible Belt should do, the Nashville daily nailed the faith angle (and Godbeat pro Bob Smietana wasn't even the one wrote the story). It's also the lead story at this moment on Gannett flagship USA Today's home page.
Let's start right at the top:
It took only days for famed Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow to sell out a Nashville lecture at Lipscomb University in 2010.
"Duck Dynasty's" Robertson family did the same thing this year. Only they did it three times over.
They're so popular, Lipscomb has to have one of their appearances for the Don Meyer Evening of Excellence in the afternoon.
Friday night marked at least the third time since December a member of the popular A&E reality-show clan took a Nashville stage to spread hunting tips and their brand of "happy, happy, happy" Christianity, to steal a phrase family patriarch Phil Robertson made popular. He'll speak again this afternoon and tonight with wife Kay and brother Si.
Their third-season finale Wednesday set an A&E series record with nearly 10 million viewers. More in the Nashville market watched "Duck Dynasty" than any other show that day, said Mark Binda, program and research director for WTVF-Channel 5.
I'll acknowledge that I'm not entirely "happy, happy, happy" with the reference to "happy, happy, happy" Christianity because I think some readers could misconstrue it and link the Robertsons to prosperity gospel theology, which I don't believe they preach.
But I like that The Tennessean explores the religion behind the Robertsons' appeal:

Fresno State ekes past Northern Arizona 71-67 in overtime
By Associated Press

Originally published: Dec 1, 2013 - 7:01 pm
FRESNO, Calif. -- Cezar Guerrero dropped a deep jump shot � originally scored a 3 � that boosted Fresno State past Northern Arizona 71-67 after an agonizing chase through overtime in the final of the Fresno State Classic on Sunday.
Five times during regulation Marvelle Harris, with a game-high 27 points, pulled Fresno State into a one-point lead or a tie down the stretch. Four times they lasted for just one possession but the fifth forced overtime at 62-62.
Harris broke the tie with a 3-pointer in OT, added a free throw to tie again at 66 and Guerrero's jumper with 34 seconds left finally put the Bulldogs up for good at 69-67 in a game that saw 12 lead changes and seven ties.
Northern Arizona jumped out 15-5 and between Max Jacobsen (21 points), Jordyn Martin (10) and Gaellan Bewernick (10 points, 10 rebounds) had an answer for Harris until the end.

There is nothing quite like cinnamon to get you in the holiday spirit. Whether it's used as a subtle accent or a more assertive note, cinnamon adds a one-of-a-kind layer of warmth to many preparations, sweet or savory. It can boost the taste of other ingredients and deepen the overall flavor of dishes, sometimes acting as a barely recognizable, "secret" ingredient.
You collectively submitted such brilliant, inspired ideas for the Cinnamon Hill giveaway a few weeks ago that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to compile this rich list of suggested uses for this wonderful, versatile spice.
I give it to you in two instalments. Ideas from the realm of sweets first; savory, beverage, and non-food uses will follow in Part II. Enjoy!
