Partners for Change Recognize Local Champions in the Fight Against Sexual Assault
Scott Berkowitz and Gov. Perry of Texas present McAfee Sr. VP, Robert Humphrey, with the Partners for Change Award
September 26, 2007 — (San Antonio, TX) —Local, state and national anti-sexual assault organizations, The Rape Crisis Center for Children & Adults, the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault (TAASA) and RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), joined forces to recognize three Texas partners in the fight against sexual assault with a special benefit event, "Coming Together to End Sexual Violence." The event featured a presentation of the first Partners for Change awards at Pearl Stable in San Antonio. Recipients of the 2007 Partners for Change awards included Spurs Sports & Entertainment, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, and McAfee, Inc. Special guests Governor Rick Perry, John and Weisie Steen, Peter Holt, The Rick Cavender Band, Emory Quinn and Mistress of Ceremonies Cynthia Lee from FOX affiliate KABB were also on hand to celebrate the efforts of the honorees.
"McAfee has shown an incredible level of commitment to sexual assault victims by ensuring the safety and security of online sexual assault crisis intervention.
The Rape Crisis Center for Children & Adults in San Antonio has taken a leading role in the fight against teen dating violence and partnered with Spurs Sports & Entertainment last year to launch a local initiative targeting local youth. According to President & CEO M. Lynn Blanco, "Almost half of all sexual assault victims are younger than 18 years old. Through the 'Choose Respect' Initiative, Spurs Sports & Entertainment and the Silver Stars are making a difference in the lives of San Antonio-area teens. We are thankful for their dedication to the prevention to dating violence in our community." The initiative targets this critical audience with information about healthy relationships and messages that dating abuse is not just unacceptable, but preventable by choosing respect.
Speaking to state-level efforts to end sexual violence, TAASA Executive Director Annette Burrhus-Clay applauded Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, saying, "It is through the continued support of public servants like General Abbott that Texas leads the way in targeting child sex predators. He has made capturing online sexual predators a top priority of his administration, increasing the safety of Texas communities." Two programs implemented by the Attorney General, Cyber Crimes Unit and Fugitive Unit, have resulted in more than 600 arrests of such offenders and convictions against more than 70 people on child pornography charges.
Collaboration with a Texas based company has also been crucial in the fight against sexual assault at the national level. McAfee, Inc. has partnered with RAINN on a new service providing online help for victims of sexual assault. The National Sexual Assault Online Hotline, currently in the pilot phase, is the first secure web-based crisis hotline providing live and anonymous support. "McAfee has shown an incredible level of commitment to sexual assault victims by ensuring the safety and security of online sexual assault crisis intervention," said Scott Berkowitz, president and founder of RAINN. "As the world's largest dedicated Internet security provider, McAfee's role in providing extensive security reviews, testing and audits of RAINN's sexual assault crisis intervention service, helps ensure the safety and security of users of the online hotline so they can be confident that their conversations are secure."
Every 2 minutes, someone in America is sexually assaulted. In Texas alone, 1 in 5 women, and 1 in 20 men are victims of sexual assault, resulting in more than 2 million sexual assault survivors. Education, prosecution and victim services all play an integral role in the fight to end sexual abuse and each Partners for Change award recipient has made a valuable contribution to this fight.
About The Rape Crisis Center
In November 1975 a group of concerned victims banded together to incorporate as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. These visionary leaders embarked on a grassroots effort to address the needs of sexual violence victims, their families and the community at large. Today The Rape Crisis Center for Children & Adults has grown into a full service agency, addressing prevention, education, crisis intervention, counseling and advocacy, as well as continuing the strong base of outreach and support services from which it was built. Visit Rape Crisis Center for more information.
About Texas Association Against Sexual Assault
The Texas Association Against Sexual Assault (TAASA) is the statewide organization committed to ending sexual violence in Texas. A non-profit educational and advocacy organization based in Austin, TAASA member agencies comprise a statewide network of over 80 crisis centers that serve rural as well as metropolitan areas.

Wrap-around error
This is a Vulnerability. To view all vulnerabilities, please see the Vulnerability Category page.
Last revision (mm/dd/yy): 06/3/2009
Vulnerabilities Table of Contents
Wrap around errors occur whenever a value is incriminated past the maximum value for its type and therefore "wraps around" to a very small, negative, or undefined value.
- Availability: Wrap-around errors generally lead to undefined behavior, infinite loops, and therefore crashes.
- Integrity: If the value in question is important to data (as opposed to flow), simple data corruption has occurred. Also, if the wrap around results in other conditions such as buffer overflows, further memory corruption may occur.
- Access control (instruction processing): A wrap around can sometimes trigger buffer overflows which can be used to execute arbitrary code. This is usually outside the scope of a program's implicit security policy.
Exposure period
- Requirements specification: The choice could be made to use a language that is not susceptible to these issues.
- Design: If the flow of the system or the protocols used are not well defined, it may make the possibility of wrap-around errors more likely.
- Implementation: Many logic errors can lead to this condition.
- Language: C, C++, Fortran, Assembly
- Operating System: Any
Required resources
Likelihood of exploit
Due to how addition is performed by computers, if a primitive is incremented past the maximum value possible for its storage space, the system will fail to recognize this, and therefore increment each bit as if it still had extra space.
Because of how negative numbers are represented in binary, primitives interpreted as signed may "wrap" to very large negative values.
Risk Factors
See the Examples section of the problem type Integer overflow for an example of wrap-around errors.
Related Attacks

Related Controls
- Requirements specification: The choice could be made to use a language that is not susceptible to these issues.
- Design: Provide clear upper and lower bounds on the scale of any protocols designed.
- Implementation: Place sanity checks on all incremented variables to ensure that they remain within reasonable bounds.

Renegade Holdings Inc. wanted to emerge from Chapter 11. A U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the Mocksville-based tobacco companys reorganization plan, and its creditors were on board. There was just one problem: Sixteen attorneys general, including North Carolinas, wanted to stop it. Acting through the National Association of Attorneys General, they cited a two-year-old federal investigation into illegal cigarette trafficking by the company and CEO Calvin Phelps.
Renegade President Mike Mebane says the dispute and for that matter, the Chapter 11 filing itself actually concerns payments the company must make to an escrow account as part of the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement that governs how tobacco companies operate. NAAG enforces the agreement. Renegade, which employs about 140 and makes Tucson and Tracker cigarettes, Hombre and Vendetta little cigars and private-label brands, entered Chapter 11 in January 2009 largely because it owed $7.8 million in escrow payments among debts of $14.3 million. It listed $41 million in assets, but $29 million of that was in the escrow account and couldnt be used by the company.
Despite the Chapter 11 filing, Renegade made money in 2009, Mebane says. He wouldnt disclose the amount. Net sales increased 35% from the preceding year, and operating costs declined about 18%. In the first 17 weeks of 2010, we were up 20% in net sales. This train is headed north. It needs to be. Under terms of the reorganization, Renegade plans to pay its creditors in five years. It says it will meet its obligations to the escrow account within seven. NAAG wants that done immediately.
Federal bankruptcy Judge William Stocks approved the plan in April. Renegade emerged from bankruptcy June 1, but not before NAAG asked Stocks to stay the reorganization because of the trafficking investigation. Mebane says neither he nor anyone who reports to him which excludes Phelps has been questioned by investigators. Phelps couldnt be reached for comment. NAAG wouldnt comment.
Stocks rejected NAAGs request for the stay, but the association has asked him in a separate motion to reconsider his approval of the reorganization plan. A hearing on that motion hadnt been scheduled as of early June. NAAG has appealed the decision to U.S. District Court.
Chapel Hill bankruptcy lawyer John Northen, who represents Renegade, says he expects NAAG to continue efforts to block Renegade. We want to get on with our business. I want the motion heard, I expect the court to deny it, and I expect the states to continue with their appeal. Well deal with that.
LEXINGTON Vitacost plans to add as many as 228 jobs within five years, bringing local employment to nearly 400. The Boca Raton, Fla.-based company, which makes vitamins and health supplements, also said it might put itself up for sale, but Davidson County officials say that wont affect the $6.7 million expansion.
American Express will open a $600 million data-services center in eastern Guilford County, possibly in 2012. The New York-based financial-services company didnt seek incentives for the project, which initially will create 50 jobs but could reach 150.
HIGH POINT The High Point Market Authority says 77,705 furniture buyers and sellers had registered for the spring home-furnishings show, held in April. That was a 2.8% increase from the 2009 spring show and a 3% increase from fall 2009.
HIGH POINT Vornado Realty Trust defaulted on the $217 million loan for its holdings here. Merchandise Mart Properties, a subsidiary, is the High Point Markets second-largest owner of showroom space. Chicago-based Vornado will operate the showrooms while it restructures debt.
GREENSBORO Volvo Group will move the headquarters of its financial-services division and about 16 senior-level jobs from Montvale, N.J., later this year. The Swedish automaker employs 2,100 here.
GREENSBORO Honda Aircraft wont begin delivering its $3.9 million HondaJet until the third quarter of 2012 the second delay for the business jet. The company blamed problems with suppliers.
GREENSBORO James K. Weeks will retire next year as dean of UNC Greensboros Joseph M. Bryan School of Business and Economics. Weeks, 64, has held the job since 1990.
WINSTON-SALEM Mark Davidson was hired as director of Smith Reynolds Airport. He had been working as a consultant with Jacksonville, Fla.-based Airport Business Solutions. The job had been vacant since Larry Scantlin left in August.

IBM Enhances Risk-Aware Decision Making & Policy Management with New OpenPages Platform Release
Timothy Powers 270003F3FN email@example.com | | Tags:  frank-dodd risk grc business-analytics cognos fraud performance-management compliance openpages analytics governance risk-analytics | 0 Comments | 3,624 Visits
By Gordon Burnes, Worldwide Marketing, IBM Risk Analytics
A key theme at Vision 2012, IBM's three-day user conference for Finance and Risk professionals, is how organizations can leverage enterprise risk information to make better decisions while balancing the demands for risk oversight and regulatory compliance.
The current complex and dynamic regulatory environment is a particular challenge for risk and compliance directors. For instance, while organizations covered by Dodd-Frank must respond to current regulatory reporting requirements, less than a third of the associated rule-making has been finished.
So, risk and compliance professionals must put in place an approach to meet regulatory requirements that can easily adapt over time as regulations evolve, and this approach includes the capability to adapt internal policies to keep pace with the evolving regulatory environment.
During the Risk Analytics Keynote, IBM announced general availability of IBM OpenPages GRC Platform 6.1.
This new solution enhances the ability to make risk-aware business decisions, enables companies to react more quickly to regulatory changes through better policy management, and decreases costs and complexity of compliance.
Leveraging the IBM Cognos business intelligence platform, OpenPages 6.1 delivers interactive reports and dashboards that allow business managers to turn that risk information into insight and insight into better business outcomes.
The new release includes several important enhancements:
· Manages lifecycle of policies from creation, review, approval, attestation, and exception management
· Standardizes policy templates and approval processes across the business
· Allows policies to be structured in a standardized way but presented in narrative form (for editing and review, etc) the way people are used to working with policies
· Formalizes process for employee awareness and training and monitoring of campaigns
· Maps policies to regulatory library and control framework to increase visibility into policy coverage & adherence and make it easier to update policies as regulations change
· Enhanced reporting user interface and framework that empowers business users to explore and analyze risk data using interactive dashboards and reporting for better decision making
In summary, IBM OpenPages 6.1:
· Enables companies to react more quickly to regulatory changes through better policy management
· Enhances the ability to make risk-aware business decisions through easier access to risk and compliance information
· Decreases the cost and complexity of compliance with out-of-the-box configurations for policy management.

TH!NK: Insightful articles on financial risk
Liz Andrews 2700041WEU firstname.lastname@example.com | | Tags:  risk-management risk_management risk risk-analytics financial-risk | 0 Comments | 2,498 Visits
Many of our GRC members may not be familiar with TH!NK, Algorithmics, an IBM Company's semi-annual magazine exploring the world of financial risk management. However, the June 2012 issue has something for everyone - and is centered on the perspective that to successfully identify and respond to the economic challenges of our times, we must seek a balance between learning from the past and developing the solutions of the future.
You will find in this issue articles that seek to explore this balance between past wisdoms and new possibilities, like our cover story "Back to the Future," which revisits capital and its role in the bank of tomorrow. In our latest "In Conversation" piece, IBM's Brenda Dietrich serves as our first IBM contributor to TH!NK, discussing how research and new data systems are changing the way we think about information. Other articles explore some of the most pressing topics in financial services, such as the interconnectivity of risk on the Buy Side or the very real trading benefits to a bank in establishing a CVA desk. As always, TH!NK seeks to build insight and linkages across seemingly disparate realms – such as social media and financial risk management, which as you will read, may not be so disconnected after all.
I encourage you to "flip through" this valuable resource - and please visit our Discussion Forum if anything in particular piques your inte
Compliance Problems Continue in a Niche Industry

You may remember hearing about problems with the College Board, which owns the SAT, and the Educational Testing Service (ETS), which administers the tests. In the recent SAT cheating scandal the College Board and ETS were accused of having lax security and a system that failed to punish cheats. But problems go back further, when a couple of years ago the SAT has serious issues with incorrect scoring of tests. And media reports speak to extensive incorrect scoring and losing test results in England in 2008, with the UK Parliament calling their operation a "shambles." And as far back as 1983 cheating was suspected in California. For details you may want to refer to my blog posting of November 2011, which includes analysis of what the accused organizations did, or rather didn't do, to right the wrongs.
Well, we now find another player in this industry accused of wrongdoing. Princeton Review, which provides help to students in preparing for college entrance exams and sells study guides, finds itself accused of defrauding the federal government. An arm of the company that provides after-school tutoring to students at troubled schools is said to have falsified records – including forging student signatures, falsifying sign-in sheets, and making false certifications – in order to boost payments due the company. Relevant is that the company was informed of these allegations back in 2006, but prosecutors, who are now suing, say the fraud continued as nothing was done to fix the system. For what it's worth, Princeton Review reportedly closed its tutoring division and says most of its current management joined the company after the alleged fraudulent activity took place.
But what's striking is how the few players comprising this industry have had serious problems – not only in allowing fraud to occur, but also in failing to act in the face of wrongdoing. And this is an industry supposedly driving high academic standards! Yes, we know academic institutions are not immune to misconduct, but we can wonder how these industry players each went so very wrong. And food for thought – do we see other industries with an inordinate number of companies experiencing widespread instances of non-compliance, fraud or other misconduct? And what does that say about the culture not only of the individual organizations, but the industry as a whole? Hmmmm.

A behind the scenes look: Prepping the menu for Eccentric Day
Wild boar, bison, squid, smoked lamb bacon, emu, quail, antelope, duck … these are just a few of the items you will see offered on Eccentric Day this year.
But how does a menu like this come together?
The planning starts early.
For Melissa Bont, the Eccentric Café's Kitchen Manager, that planning began in early October.
And then there is the prep work.
Deliveries started late last week. And since then, cases of food have been arriving almost daily.
Most of the caviar, smoked salmon and other delicacies won't actually arrive until the day before Eccentric Day though.
But during the week leading up to the event and especially the day before, there is still plenty of chopping, slicing, stirring and tasting to make sure everything possible is ready to go.
The entire kitchen staff, including a few dedicated "retired" kitchen staff members - who have since gone on to other positions at the Café - put in some long and late hours to make everything happen.
There is also a fair amount of improvising as well – adding chorizo to the alligator gumbo for example.
Being incredibly organized is also helpful, Bont said.
On Eccentric Day, that same team will set up, do any last minute cooking and restock two buffet style tables in both the front and back bars of the Café before opening at 9 a.m. until around 10 p.m. (depending on how fast all the food goes).
Even the menu is still being tweaked a bit this week as some items are a little harder to come by than originally planned.
Sorry, no organs (sweet breads) this year.
But bugs have been added (scorpion suckers, crickets and larvae - fried with spices) in addition to emu. And Bell's beer will also be used in a few of the dishes.
The idea of getting a pig uterus was even pitched, but that won't happen this year.
Not to say they didn't try.
There will also be plenty for vegetarian appetites as well including a vegetarian turducken, stuffed jalapenos and smoky tofu bites. Bont said she recognizes the need to have something for all tastes.
"It's a great tradition. We're busy and there is a lot to do, but we make it fun and we get to experiment with different foods. It's nice to be able to offer people things they wouldn't normally get to try," Bont said.
2012 Eccentric food numbers:
20 lbs. of alligator
10 lbs. of shepherd's pie
About 100 squid (stuffed with bison cornbread)
10 lbs. of antelope
2 wild boar legs (10-12 lbs. each)
20 lbs. of shrimp
12 lbs. of elk
12 lbs. of bison
24 duck breasts
12 lbs. of venison to make sausage
About 80 lbs. of cheese in 20 different varieties

We have a client using Zimbra with Outlook Connector. Only user in Outlook is zimbra. It has synced up and continues to function properly.
They have a Blackberry 9000. Install Blackberry software and go to sync with Outlook. During setup it asks for the Outlook user and displays zimbra. However, when sync is started it says "No Message Store".
The Blackberry ISP says this is a zimbra connector issue. I am not so sure.
Has anyone seen this behavior and if so, how was it resolved.
TIA, Mark

Planning a birthday party is fun. One of the best parts is choosing a theme. Pick out something that the birthday child loves, like a cartoon character or show, a sport or hobby, or an animal. Once you've chosen a theme you'll need to get the party supplies. You'll need themed tableware, balloons, wall hangings, party hats, and favors. With all the options it can get a little daunting. Luckily, there are decoration kits to help make it easier for you to get started.
The decoration kits contain many of the basics you need for a themed party space. All the items in the kits are chosen because they follow a theme and are color coordinated. Most kits contain a "Happy Birthday" banner that you can hang over the table or in the entrance to the room. There are twenty latex balloons in two complementary colors and a spool of colored metallic curling ribbon that can be tied to the balloons, used to wrap presents, or just dangled down as decoration. Most kits also come with themed danglers as well.
The decorations kits also come with a themed centerpiece and package of confetti to decorate the table. Couple it with our tableware or a themed tableware kit, for a festive table that will be a real focal point to the party space.

OK it was only about 20 seconds but..
They are running commercials but in the background you can hear Marty just ripping Larry apart. Every other word was an F bomb. Dang I wish I had it recorded.

What was it about?
Sorry, it's over now. I didn't know how long it was going to last but it was funny. I mean Marty was screaming at the top of his lungs.
I couldn't tell what it was about.
Now THAT is funny. I liked his piece on KCCI last night about the tournament. He turns into such a kiss-the-boss's butt kind of guy as soon as he isn't hiding behind his happy little microphone.
Was it F-bombs about Cotler?

It was f-bombs directly to Cotler. They were yelling at each other. Like I said, it was hard to heard because they were running commercials and didn't realize they were on the air.
I know people that were friends w/ Marty. They have zero good things to say about the guy
Originally Posted by ISUCLONES15

Marty has ripped on Cotlar's programming and interviews for years. While I think Larry does a horrid interview, he gets x10 better guests than M&M and Mart really has no place to gripe.
I can see why Larry would have something against Tirrell. Normally it probably wouldn't amount to much as they're separated by 7 hours. But it seems that KXNO is having some sort of NCAA recap so they crossed paths a little early today (???)

Reader comment on: Nuclear Power and Anti-Semitism
Submitted by Aigberadion rachel, Apr 17, 2009 20:35
why is israel so hated by iran and other Arab countries? They should be left alone,and iran should stop making noise about destroying the nation of isreal entirely.I believe religion is not about strife,hatred, suicide. It's just a belief and never to be imposed on anyone, let alone a nation,or a country. If isreal has refused to accept islamic religion as a religion, it should never be compeled, and never be threatened. UN please take a bold step and stop iran and it's cohorts (russia ,palestine, iran etc.) from producing nuclear weapons. "its dangerous you know !"
Thanks for letting us air our view.

AACSB International Accreditation
The Ithaca College School of Business has maintained its business accreditation by AACSB International—The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the longest serving global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degrees in business and accounting.
AACSB Accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in business education, and has been earned by less than five percent of the world's business programs. Currently there are 716 business schools in 48 countries and territories that maintain AACSB Accreditation.
The school earned initial accreditation of its bachelor's and master's degree programs in business administration in 2005. To maintain accreditation, programs must undergo a rigorous review every five years, demonstrating a continued commitment to the 21 quality standards relating to faculty qualification, strategic management of resources, and interactions of faculty and students, as well as a commitment to continuous improvement and achievement of learning goals in degree programs.
Since 2008 the school has been housed in the Dorothy D. and Roy H. Park Center for Business and Sustainable Enterprise, the first facility for a college or university business school in the world to earn platinum LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. In each of the past nine years the school has been listed among "The Best 296 Business Schools" by Princeton Review.

It's been a Christmas tradition since i was old enough to write with my Crayolas; make a wish list for Santa. This year, I'm sharing my list with you on this Christmas Eve. I just hope Santa Clause can fit it all down the chimney. - J.B.
We start with a K-State Bowl win. The last time KSU won a bowl game? 2002 Holiday Bowl. Since then, K-State has lost 5 straight bowl appearances including last season to Oregon
I'm with Mitch Holthus on this one: A Chiefs playoff win! That hasn't happened in 19 season. Last time? Joe Montana led KC to a win over Houston in 1993
Royals playoff appearance. That hasn't happened since KC won the World Series in 1985. I wonder if George Brett is on the naughty or nice list... Never mind
How about another Final Four run for the Jayhawks? There were close a year ago; then this happened... For those wondering: "wasn't that a sweet 16 game?" Yes. But KU wasn't going to lose to Florida, right? Again, never mind. This KU team has the talent; if Joel Embiid continues to progress and Andrew Wiggins decides to dominate both sides like he truly can.
Finally, how about one of those awesome Sporting KC "Champion" Scarfs? It's been a banner year for Sporting Club. The team won it's 2nd MLS Cup; Sporting Park hosted the MLS All Star Game, and a US World Cup qualifier; and next summer a pair of SKC stars (Graham Zusi and Matt Besler) are expected to contribute to the US National team in Brazil... Would it be too much to ask Santa for a trip to watch?

A big congrats to Team Slovakia, Dominik Hrbaty + Dominika Cibulkova, who defeated the favored Russian team of Marat Safin and sister Dinara Safina to win the Hopman Cup today!
Both matches went the distance with Domi defeating Dinara 6-7 (3/7), 6-1, 6-4 and The Dominator edging out Marat in an epic thriller 6-7 (5/7), 7-5, 7-6 (7/3).
It's good to see The Dominator back in action after his recent injury woes. And Dominika, well, she just looks happy to have those lips on that shiny, new ball.
Jurgen's gonna be jealoussss.

Knowing that this is his last season, I'd decided not to become emotionally involved in Safin's matches anymore, but I've failed miserably. I like Hrbaty, but I'll never forgive him for denying me another brother-sister match! That's not cool at all, Dominik.ReplyDelete

OMG I remember watching this match, Safina totally had a HUGE meltdown mid-match and never recovered from it...I guess she's still a headcase, shame cause the commentators were harping on about how she was a legitimate threat for the AO title...ReplyDelete

My dad and I have 5pts. and are going to pay the increased fee to guarantee our draw success. My dad is 70 and not in great shape, we will be hunting off of horseback and do not want to hunt anywhere that you can take a 4 wheeler so national forest is preferred. I talked to Guy at the Sportsman's show and he suggested 62 for the type of hunt that we wanted. He also mentioned 121 but said it would be weather dependent. 111 & 118 also look like good options but I am not sure of the terrain and what the #'s are like.
The goal is to get my dad a 300 or over bull before he is to old to do it.
Any advice is appreciated, Kelly

(KSDK Sports) - Expect a high-scoring affair between the SEC's two top offensive teams, and with both playing well, the game should go down to the wire.
With Ole Miss being desperate for a win to possibly sneak into the NCAA Tournament. The Missouri Tigers appear to be a team heading toward a selection in the tournament, and they're doing their part in making it happen, having started their first SEC Tournament with a solid win over Texas A&M on Thurday.
The Tigers took care of business in the second round by beating Texas A&M by 12 points. It was far from their best offensive performance, as they shot just 44.7 percent from the field and committed 19 turnovers, but they made up for it by playing outstanding defense, holding the Aggies to a lowly 24.1 percent from the floor.
Alex Oriakhi was a steady presence in the paint with 13 points and 10 rebounds, while Laurence Bowers, Jabari Brown and Tony Criswell each netted 10 points in the winning effort. Missouri is usually much more potent at the offensive end, pouring in 76.7 ppg on greater than 46 percent accuracy from the floor.
Pacing six teammates in double figures is Bowers with 14.6 ppg to go along with 6.1 rpg, and Oriakhi (11.4 ppg, 8.5 rpg) teams up with him for one of the top frontcourt duos in the country. Phil Pressey scores 11.5 ppg and hands out an SEC-best 7.1 apg, while Brown (13.9 ppg), Keion Bell (11.4 ppg) and Earnest Ross (10.2 ppg) are all solid shooting guards.
The Rebels are bubble team, who need a win to ensure that they are not on the outside looking in this Sunday when the selections are made for the field of 68. Ole Miss is 12-6 in the SEC, 1-1 in neutral site games, but have bad losses on their resume to Mississippi State and South Carolina.
As a team Mississippi is averaging 79.2 points, 12.9 assists, and they are shooting 43.9 percent while defensively they are allowing 68.6 points, 13.4 assists, and their opponents are shooting 41.3 percent. Marshall Henderson is averaging 19.7 points, Murphy Holloway is averaging 14.6 points and 9.6 rebounds, and Reginald Buckner is averaging 9.4 points and 7.5 rebounds.
Ole Miss lost by 19 at Mizzou in the last meeting of these two.
The winner will advance to Saturday's semifinals to play either Vanderbilt or Kentucky.

Real Room Inspiration: Decals, Removable Wallpaper, Washi Tape & Contact Paper
Apartment Therapy's Home Remedies
Whether you're a renter, a non-committal type of person, or have growing kids that like to change their minds often, there are plenty of reasons to explore the option of temporary wall decor. It can also be very affordable, depending on which route you go and how creative you get. Here are ten examples of how you can use decals, removable wallpaper, washi tape, or contact paper in your space.
In most cases, using these forms of temporary wall decor is a way to add some playful or colorful interest to a space. They are especially great for nurseries and children's rooms because of the bold colors, but most importantly, they can easily change as the little one grows up. For teenagers, it's a great way to really infuse their personality into their space. And for the rest of us grown-ups, it's just a great way to have some fun, no strings attached.
1. A fun gold polka-dot hallway, as spotted on the German blog Ohhh Mhhh.

Up to 30 percent of the world's population is infected with Tuberculosis (TB), but in many areas of the world, TB diagnosis still relies on insensitive, poorly standardized, and time-consuming methods. A new diagnostic tool, endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO), may change that. Dr. Thomas Bodmer from the University of Bern, Switzerland, shows how it's done in the April issue of JoVE.
Currently, TB is diagnosed through either a skin test, which produces a small bump on the patient's arm when administered and needs to be checked after 72 hours, and through smear microscopy, a method that was developed over a century ago. The new test is fully automated and takes about an hour and a half to give results. It is also able to determine if the patient is infected with a multidrug-resistant strain of the bacteria.
"The Xpert MTB/RIF assay is intended for use with specimens from patients for whom there is suspicion of pulmonary tuberculosis and who fulfill the criteria outlined in the accompanied text," said Dr. Bodmer, who co-authored the article.
WHO endorsed the test in 2010, and is working to roll it out across tuberculosis-affected countries. An important aspect of this is training people to use the device, and the JoVE video-article will help with standardization.
"TB is one of the most deadly infectious diseases worldwide and accurate and rapid diagnosis is essential for timely and proper treatment. This test is expected to dramatically improve the diagnosis of TB," said JoVE Science Editor, Dr. Charlotte Frank Sage. "Publication of the protocol in JoVE allows researchers around the world to see a detailed demonstration of this diagnostic tool and will aid in establishing this technology in their laboratories and clinics."

Missouri Highway Patrol officials say Ladonna Waller, 48 of Boss, Missouri, died after her westbound car left a county road west of Missouri Route 49 just north of Bixby.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash just before 1:00 p.m. yesterday afternoon.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) An Aldi grocery store goof could save you $10 on your next $40 purchase if you can find it, print it, and redeem it by close of business Thursday.
This tip came from a Facebook follower, please tweet @russptacek or like Russ Ptacek on Facebook and let us know whether the coupon worked for you.
The best image we could find for printing is at http://www.creativecouponing.com/aldi-10-off-40-coupon-good-in-all-states/
"I used mine with no problems," blogged couponer Karen on creativecouponing.com. "I also had one person tell me that they are suppose to accept it even if you show it to them on your phone...though bring in a printed copy just in case."
The coupon originally stated it was only good in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma according to the website couponinsthenews.com.
Enterprising couponers noted the url's name was "coupon_4.jpg," prompting a search for others, like 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg.
"Jackpot - coupon_2.jpg turned out to be the exact same coupon, with one key difference: it was "redeemable at all ALDI locations," reported couponsinthenews.com. "The coupon was apparently a "hidden" file, that shoppers were not meant to discover. Only the state-specific coupon that was part of the promotion was meant to be valid."
Aldi removed quickly removed both versions of the coupon, but when customers complained, Aldi agreed to honor them for those who had already downloaded them, but you may still be able to use it too.
Many coupon sites have still copies of the coupon posted and the response WUSA9 received from Aldi suggests stores will be accepting those too although an spokeswoman didn't directly answer the question.
"ALDI will be honoring all coupons until tomorrow, Friday, November 15," said Aldi spokeswoman Hannah Dewey. "We are unable to provide a quote beyond what was shared in the statement."
The best image we could find for printing is at http://www.creativecouponing.com/aldi-10-off-40-coupon-good-in-all-states/
Here's Aldi's official statement:
At ALDI, we are committed to providing shoppers with the highest quality products at the lowest possible prices every single day. We understand the confusion that some customers experienced with the recent digital coupon featuring $10 off a $40 purchase at our stores. The coupon was available for download for a limited time and it can be used through November 15 in all ALDI locations.
Washington area Aldi locations include the District, Hyattsville, Langley Park, Oxon Hill and Cheverly.

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - In his second game back from a wrist injury,
Bradley Beal posted a career-high with 28 points and the Washington Wizards
notched their first four-game winning streak of the season with a 102-90
victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday.
Beal got plenty of help, however, as John Wall, Emeka Okafor and Nene each
contributed double-doubles to the Wizards' fourth straight win over a playoff
caliber team.
Wall had 14 points to go with 10 assists and Okafor tallied 12 points and 10
rebounds. Nene followed Beal's scoring effort with 21 points in addition to
recording 13 rebounds and six assists.
The Bucks, now losers of four in a row and six of their last seven, had
trouble shooting the basketball, converting just 37.9 percent of their
Monta Ellis finished with 24 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and six
steals in the setback.

Common Core: a great idea we're not yet prepared for
(Page 3 of 3)
Let's turn the clock back. Bring all stakeholders to the table. Agree what should be included in the revised course of study in all subjects at all levels. Give teachers time to write curricula and lesson plans to reflect the new goals. Budget money for the books and materials needed. Provide training so that all educators are on the same page. Prepare students so they know what to expect. Then, and only then, design assessments that are reliable and valid. Use the data from those agreed-on tests to shore up weaknesses in teaching and learning.
To repeat: Common Core? Best of intentions! But testing now? Too much, too soon. A carefully thought-out, methodical, step-by-step master plan must come first.

(Asbury Park Press) -- No. 21 comes into the high school basketball game and smiles as the cheerleader he has a crush on shouts his name: "Hillman ... Jeffrey Hillman!"
The ball soon is passed to the South Plainfield team's sixth man. As he dribbles toward the basket, he loses focus for a second and recalls the horror of military school, where his mother had shipped him five years earlier.
"Why didn't my mom even tell me she was getting married?" he thinks, reflecting on the wedding he missed, one of several scars from being away for one brutal year. But none of them hurt as much, he thinks, as watching his mother endure the emotional abuse inflicted by her new husband.
"I wish I'd gotten to know my father," he thinks, as an opposing player reaches in to steal the ball.
Hillman refocuses on the game, turns his back to the defender to protect the ball. In the hopes that he'll muster enough self-esteem to ask out the cheerleader, he pivots, shoots and - scores, another dime bag of marijuana.
Such reflections haunt Hillman 37 years later, when he shares them during a Jan. 4 interview at a New York City restaurant.
As he crouches barefoot in front of the Skechers shoe store on Seventh Avenue on Nov. 14, braving frostbite in order to cajole generous passers-by out of their money - as much as $1,000 in a single day - New York City Police Officer Larry DePrimo gives Hillman a $100 pair of boots.
With a city-subsidized apartment in the Bronx, Hillman repeatedly tells DePrimo that he is OK, that he doesn't need the boots, but because he appears to be barefoot, the cop insists on giving them to him. As DePrimo hands over the boots, a tourist from Arizona snaps a picture that goes viral on Facebook and other social media outlets, as it rings in the holiday season with glad tidings.
Despite the revelation that Hillman no longer is homeless, good cheer continues to surround the officer's generous gesture. But questions also arise.
While Hillman had been living on the streets for 10 years, why was he continuing to live a vagabond lifestyle instead of staying warm in his subsidized apartment? Why the need or desire to panhandle? And how does a seemingly typical teenager from Central Jersey wind up there?

Black & Decker's Smart Scan Diagnostic ToolWritten by on April 1, 2009 Trouble Shooting Made Easy
While we all enjoy cruising our old Mopars around, most of us also have a newer Mopar car or truck in our stable as well. Though not as nostalgic as our older cars, the new products offered by Chrysler have a lot to offer in the way of performance, comfort, and reliability, so it's no wonder many of us choose newer cars or trucks as our daily drivers. And let's face it, if you race or show your classic Mopar, a late-model Dodge Ram is probably your vehicle of choice to tow your car around with. Fortunately, the new cars and trucks by Chrysler are very reliable, but what happens if there's a mechanical problem with one of these vehicles? With computers controlling many of our new car's or truck's functions, how do we know how severe a problem is when the "check engine" light comes on? Luckily, Black & Decker's new Smart Scan diagnostic tool makes this problem a lot easier to deal with.
Cars have come a long way since the muscle cars we enjoy were designed, and computers now control nearly every function of a vehicle including the engine and transmission. While this new technology offers much in the way of reliability and convenience, it also adds the complexity of engine and transmission sensors, solenoids, and relays that our older cars didn't have. So if your idea of diagnosing a car's problem is popping the hood and breaking out a test light, there's a good chance you're lost when your new car has an issue or when a warning light illuminates in the dash. Even worse, having the dealership or a professional mechanic check the problem can be expensive, especially when correcting the problem may be as simple as replacing a sensor and resetting the fault code in the car's computer.
Luckily, the folks at Black & Decker have developed their Smart Scan handheld diagnostic computer to read the computer fault codes in newer cars and reset the "check engine" light as well. By simply plugging the Smart Scan into your car's or truck's diagnostic port under the dash, the tool will not only tell you what fault codes your vehicle has, but will also give a level of urgency to let you know if it's OK to drive the vehicle. Additionally, the Smart Scan allows you to reset the vehicle's annoying "check engine" light once the problem has been corrected. This tool is great if you plan to maintain your vehicle yourself, and will even help avoid unnecessary costs at the shop if you plan to have a professional work on your car. Follow along and we'll show you how easy it is to use.

The sophistication of new cars is great as long as everything is working properly, but what about when the "check engine" light comes on? Fortunately, diagnosing problems with your new Mopar just got a lot easier thanks to Black & Decker's new smart scan handheld diagnostic tool.New cars are comfortable and convenient, until they break down. With all the sensors and wiring under the hood, diagnosing a problem is difficult without being able to read the car's fault codes.With the ignition in the run mode, but without the engine running, the Smart Scan is plugged into the vehicle's diagnostic port.In order to test the tool, we unplugged the inlet air temperature sensor of our car and started the engine. We immediately got the "check engine" light, so we plugged the Smart Scan in to see what it read.After reading the code, the Smart Scan will ask if you'd like to erase it. In our case, we reconnected the inlet temperature sensor and erased the code so the "check engine" light would go off. If we had a real problem, we would repair it first and then erase the code. Costing less than taking the car to a shop to be diagnosed, this tool is a great addition if you're driving or working on a newer Mopar.With the Smart Scan plugged in, it immediately told us we had a code and assigned a low level of urgency.When we looked up the code in the supplied list, it was indeed the inlet air temperature sensor. This is nice to know in case you want to fix the problem yourself, or to let the mechanic who will fix it know what the problem is.Most cars produced since 1995 use the same OBD style diagnostic port. This port is usually located under the dash on the driver side of the vehicle.

MIAMI (Reuters) – A Powerball ticket worth $16 million became worthless on Friday after a six-month deadline for the winner to claim the prize money expired, Florida lottery authorities said.
"It's only happened a few other times, so this is really, really unusual," said Florida Lottery spokeswoman Amy Bisceglia.
"It could have been anything, from somebody forgetting about it in the laundry, or just throwing it away. We have no idea what happened," Bisceglia said, when asked how the ticket holder could not have claimed the fortune.
The ticket became worthless when a 180-day deadline to claim the jackpot expired at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, Bisceglia said.
It was the largest unclaimed jackpot in Florida since 2003, when a $53.7 million jackpot expired.
The winning numbers were 2, 6, 19, 21, 27 and a Powerball number of 25.
The winning ticket was purchased in May at the Carollwood Market, a convenience store in Tampa.

By Roberta Rampton and Sui-Lee Wee
WASHINGTON/BEIJING (Reuters) – President Barack Obama met exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama on Friday in a show of concern about China's human rights practices, and in spite of warnings from China that the visit would "seriously damage" ties with Washington.
The private meeting appeared to last about an hour, although the Dalai Lama, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was not seen by White House photographers as he entered or exited the complex.
Obama reiterated his support for Tibet's unique religious, cultural and linguistic traditions and human rights for Tibetans, the White House said in a statement.
"The president stressed that he encourages direct dialogue to resolve longstanding differences and that a dialogue that produces results would be positive for China and Tibetans," the statement said.
Obama also said he does not support Tibetan independence from China and the Dalai Lama said he was not seeking it, the White House said.
It was the third time Obama had met the Dalai Lama, who the White House calls "an internationally respected religious and cultural leader." Previous meetings were in February 2010 and July 2011.
In what appeared to be a small concession to the Chinese, the visit was held in the White House Map Room, a historically important room but of less significance than the Oval Office, the president's inner sanctum.
China calls the Dalai Lama a "wolf in sheep's clothing" who seeks to use violent methods to establish an independent Tibet. The Dalai Lama, who fled to India after a failed uprising in 1959, maintains he only wants genuine autonomy for Tibet and denies advocating violence.
China took control of Tibet in 1950. Human rights groups say China tramples on the religious, cultural and linguistic rights of Tibetans and enforces its rule using brutal methods.
The United States recognizes Tibet as part of China and does not support Tibetan independence, but supports the Dalai Lama's approach for more autonomy, and has long urged the Chinese government to hold talks with him, said Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council.
"We are concerned about continuing tensions and the deteriorating human rights situation in Tibetan areas of China," Hayden said ahead of the meeting.
In Tibetan regions of China, including four provinces outside Tibet, more than 120 Tibetans have set themselves on fire since 2009 in protest against Chinese rule. Most have died.
The meeting came at a delicate time for Sino-U.S. relations. The United States has expressed concern about China's increasingly assertive behavior in the East China Sea and South China Sea and Obama's U.S. strategic pivot, or rebalancing, toward Asia, is seen as a reaction to the growing clout of China.
As part of the strategy, Obama plans a week-long visit in late April with allies Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines.
Friday's meeting between Obama and the Dalai Lama comes less than a week after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry visited China. It is unclear whether he had briefed China in advance about the planned meeting.
Both countries are increasingly inter-dependent and have to cooperate on international issues such as Iran and North Korea. China is also the United States' biggest foreign creditor. As of July 31, China held $1.28 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds, according to Treasury Department data.
The meeting with the Dalai Lama was announced with little fanfare the evening before it took place, but prompted a stern rebuke from the Chinese government.
"The United States' arrangement for its leader to meet the Dalai would be a gross interference in China's internal affairs and is a serious violation of the norms of international relations," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in a statement ahead of the meeting.
"It will seriously damage Sino-U.S. relations. We urge the United States to take seriously China's concerns, immediately cancel plans for the U.S. leader to meet the Dalai, do not facilitate and provide a platform for Dalai's anti-China separatist activities in the United States," she added.
Diplomats in Beijing have told Reuters Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet at a nuclear security summit in the Netherlands next month.
When asked whether China would cancel the meeting, Hua later said at a daily news briefing: "If any country deliberately insists on harming China's interests, in the end, it will also damage its own interests and will harm the bilateral relations between China and the relevant country."
"(If) the U.S. president wishes to meet any person, it's his own affair, but he cannot meet the Dalai," she said. "The Dalai is definitely not a pure religious figure. He is using the cloak of religion to engage in long-term activities to separate China. He is a political exile."
Previous meetings between Obama and the Dalai Lama have not had serious repercussions.
In 2011, after the last meeting between the two, China responded with predictably vehement words but stopped short of threatening retaliation, indicating that Beijing was keen to avoid tensions between the world's biggest economies.
"I think China will send a strong message of protest publicly and privately, trying to warn President Obama to not go too far, because we still have a major, new relationship to build," said Sun Zhe, director of the Center for U.S.-China Relations at Beijing's elite Tsinghua University.
Xi has stressed repeatedly that China wants to build "a new brand of relations between major powers", based on principles of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and cooperation.
The White House did not provide information about how or when the meeting was organized. The Dalai Lama had been speaking to the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative organization, in Washington on Thursday.

Mississippi would lose most of its remaining regulatory authority over AT&T under a bill that passed in the House of Representatives.
Telephone service in Mississippi was mostly deregulated in 2006, ending the Public Service Commission's traditional power to set rates.
House Bill 825 would remove remaining PSC rate-making authority over 30,000 local-only landlines.
The PSC and some consumer advocates fought the bill.
The measure also ends AT&T's obligation to serve as company of last resort for landline customers in its traditional territory, and requirements that it file service and financial data with the PSC.
AT&T says the requirements are unfair burdens that competitors don't bear.
The Senate deleted a study committee to examine what phone companies pay each other for switching calls. The House agreed to the change, 86-34.

One question:
The "view as html" only tries to download the attachment for most types. .PDF, .doc, .xls all are only downloaded.
But, .txt will render as html. Tested with PDF's from before the upgrade and ones sent after - still just downloads.
Ran the Network trial back under 4.5.6 and this feature worked fine.
