Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the leading cloud platform for helping enterprises provide secure, high-performing user experiences on any device, anywhere, today released its Third Quarter, 2012 State of the Internet report. Based on data gathered from the Akamai Intelligent Platform™, the report provides insight into key global statistics including connection speeds, attack traffic, and network connectivity and availability, among many others.

In addition, the Third Quarter, 2012 State of the Internet report includes an analysis of the Operation Ababil DDoS attacks against the banking industry in the United States and an examination of mobile browser usage by network connection type collected via Akamai IO. Further, the report provides a review of third quarter Internet disruptions in Lebanon, Jordan and Syria based on Akamai traffic patterns observed within those countries.
Highlights from Akamai's third quarter, 2012 report:
Global Internet Penetration
More than 680 million IPv4 addresses from 243 countries/regions connected to the Akamai Intelligent Platform during the third quarter of 2012. The figure represents an 11 percent increase year over year. Since a single IP address can represent multiple individuals in some cases – such as when users access the Web through a firewall or proxy server – Akamai estimates the total number of unique Web users connecting to its platform during the quarter to be well over one billion.
For the second quarter in a row, Brazil experienced the greatest year-over-year growth (39 percent) within the group of top 10 countries with the most unique IPv4 addresses connecting to the Akamai Intelligent Platform. In the same top 10 group, China (5.7 percent) showed the largest quarter-over-quarter increase.
Analysis of the full set of countries that connected to the Akamai Intelligent Platform in the third quarter showed that nearly 60 percent saw a quarterly increase and almost 12 percent saw increases of 10 percent or more.
Attack Traffic and Top Ports Attacked
Akamai maintains a distributed set of agents deployed across the Internet that monitors attack traffic. Based on data collected by these agents, Akamai is able to identify the top countries from which attack traffic originates, as well as the top ports targeted by these attacks.
Akamai observed attack traffic from 180 unique countries/regions during the third quarter of 2012, down from 188 in the second quarter. China maintained its position as the single largest volume source of observed traffic at 33 percent. The United States, at number two, experienced a slight increase in originated attack traffic with 13 percent. Russia replaced Turkey in the number three spot by generating 4.7 percent.
During the quarter, the top 10 countries/regions were responsible for generating 72 percent of the observed attack traffic. Within the top 10, slightly more than 50 percent of attack traffic was generated by three countries: China, the United States and Russia.
Receiving 30 percent of observed attack traffic, Port 445 (Microsoft-DS) remained the most targeted port. Port 23 (Telnet) was a distant second at only 7.6 percent.
Operation Ababil
Akamai was involved in protecting some of the organizations targeted by a series of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks known as "Operation Ababil" that occurred in September 2012. As a result, Akamai observed attacks with the following characteristics:
- Up to 65 gigabits per second (Gbps) of total attack traffic that varied in target and technique
- A significant portion (nearly 23 Gbps) of the attack traffic was aimed at the Domain Name System (DNS) servers that are used for Akamai's Enhanced DNS services
- Attack traffic to Akamai's DNS infrastructure included both UDP and TCP traffic which attempted to overload the servers, and the network in front of them, with spurious requests
- The majority of the attack traffic requested legitimate Web pages from Akamai customer sites over HTTP & HTTPS in an attempt to overload the Web servers
- Some attack traffic consisted of 'junk' packets that were automatically dropped by Akamai servers
- Some attack traffic consisted of HTTP request floods to dynamic portions of sites such as branch/ATM locators and search pages
Global Average and Peak Connection Speeds
The global average connection speed decreased by approximately seven percent between the second and third quarters of 2012 to 2.8 Mbps. South Korea continued to have the highest average connection speed at 14.7 Mbps. Japan (10.7 Mbps) and Hong Kong (8.9 Mbps) rounded out the top three countries for average connection speed in the quarter.
Despite the slight quarter-over-quarter decline, global average connection speed enjoyed healthy 11 percent growth year over year.
Similar to the average connection speed metric, the global average peak connection speed also saw a minor quarter-over-quarter decline, dropping 1.4 percent to 15.9 Mbps. In the third quarter of 2012, Hong Kong boasted the highest peak connection speed at just more than 54 Mbps.
Looking at year-over-year changes, significant improvement was once again seen in the global average peak connection speed, growing 36 percent.
Akamai observed global broadband (>4 Mbps) and high broadband (>10 Mbps) adoption showing solid gains in the quarter. The global high broadband adoption rate grew by 8.8 percent quarter over quarter, reaching 11 percent, while the global broadband adoption rate increased 4.8 percent, growing to 41 percent.
Mobile Connectivity
In the third quarter of 2012, average connection speeds on surveyed mobile network providers ranged from a high of 7.8 Mbps to a low of 324 kbps. Seven providers showed average connection speeds in the "broadband" (>4 Mbps) range. An additional 68 mobile providers had average connection speeds greater than 1 Mbps. Average peak connection speeds for the quarter ranged from 39.2 Mbps down to 2.8 Mbps. Based on data collected by Ericsson, the volume of mobile data traffic doubled from the third quarter of 2011 to the third quarter of 2012, and grew 16 percent between the second and third quarter of 2012.
Analysis of Akamai IO data collected in the third quarter indicates that for users of mobile devices on cellular networks connecting to the Akamai Intelligent Platform, the largest percentage of requests (37.6 percent) came from devices using the Android Webkit. Devices using Apple's Mobile Safari were a close second (35.7 percent). However, for users of mobile devices across all network types, Apple's Mobile Safari accounted for 60.1 percent of requests, with the Android Webkit responsible for 23.1 percent.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

This invention relates to electrical contact materials which are used for electrical contacts employed in electrical apparatuses such as switches, breakers, contactors, and the like.
Electrical contact materials dealt with in this invention are particularly those made of Ag-Sn-Cd ternary alloys which are made by melting Ag, Sn and Cd, and which are internally oxidized. Those belong to a different category from those which are prepared by mixing Ag, SnO and CdO powders and powdermetallurgically sintering them.
Heretobefore, Ag-Sn oxides alloys in which Ag is a matrix and Sn, solute metal thereof is internal-oxidized to Sn oxides, are widely used as electrical contact materials for the electrical apparatuses of the kind mentioned above.
As a similar electrical contact material, Ag-Cd oxides alloys are also known, while electrical contact materials made of Ag-Sn oxides alloys are more extensively employed today in view of the prevention of pollution, since Cd is harmful to health.
However, since Cd oxides have an excellent refactoriness and are afforded with an excellent resistability against electric arcs produced at switching on and off of electrical apparatuses, and since a contact resistance of electrical contacts made of Ag alloys employing Cd oxides is stable as the oxides evaporate reasonably by heat produced with electric arcs, we can not totally deny the employment of Cd oxides.
In this view, the electrical contact materials provided by this invention are those ternary Ag alloys containing CdO besides SnO.
On the other hand, there is a problem in the manufacture of Ag-SnO-CdO alloy contact materials under this invention. That is, it is impossible to completely internal-oxidize a total amount of Sn by oxygen which penetrates from the outside of Ag matrix and diffuses into the inside of the matrix, if said Sn is more than about 5 weight % of the Ag matrix. This is a phenomenon commonly accepted by those skilled in this art. And, for example, it is described in the Information (registration No. 1-11) published by DODUCO of West Germany in April, 1966 that in Ag-Sn alloys containing more than 5% of Sn, this Sn can not be oxidized by an internal oxidation method. It is pointed out there that this is because of segregation layers of Sn oxides which are inevitably formed at outer surface areas of such alloys and retard oxygen to penetrate into the alloys for developing the internal oxidation in inner areas. As mentioned above, this has been conceived unanimously by those skilled in industries related to electrical contact materials.
In order to solve this problem, it becomes necessary for a successful internal-oxidation to employ auxiliary solute metals which have higher diffusion velocities or which are more capable to carry oxygen and to convey the oxygen more efficiently into deeper inner areas of Ag matrices. Such auxiliary solute metals are typically In and Bi.
There is issed U.S. Pat. No. 3,933,485 in which Ag-Sn-In system alloys are internal-oxidized for obtaining modern electrical contact materials, and in which In is used as an auxiliary solute metal for the successful internal-oxidation of the alloys. Said electrical contact materials which are more specifically consisted of 5-10 weight % of Sn, 1.0-6 weight % of In, and a balance of Ag, are internal-oxidized. They are one of the most excellent contact materials which are industrially used today.
Nevertheless, even when In or Bi which can perform well internal-oxidation assisting functions, as explained above, is employed as an auxiliary solute metal, it is not easy to internal-oxidize more than 5% of Sn evenly throughout its Ag matrix. It is sometimes observed that Sn oxides happen to segregate excessively at outer surface areas of the Ag matrix, and such segregation makes subscales which are air-tight, while a depletion layer of Sn oxides is consequently produced in inner areas of the Ag matrix.
It shall be noted also that since InO and BiO have a comparatively lower refractoriness, and are comparatively weak metal oxides, it has been desired long since to internal-oxidize Ag-Sn alloys without the employment of In or Bi, if possible.
It will be noted also that compared to ternary Ag-Sn-Cd alloys, Ag-Sn-In-Cd alloys and Ag-Sn-Bi-Cd alloys which are quarternary, are provided with lower electrical conductivities. In this respect too, it is preferable not to use In or Bi as auxiliary elements for the sake of internal-oxidation. Although Cd can readily be internal-oxidized in a Ag matrix, Cd exerts little influence over the internal oxidation of Sn when Sn exists in the Ag matrix at an amount more than 5%.
In view of the above, this invention is to provide novel electrical contact materials which are prepared by melting, are consisted of more than 5-12 weight % of Sn, 0.5-5 weight % of Cd, and balance of Ag, and are internal-oxidized.
As to a Sn amount in this invention, its minimum is more than 5 weight % in order to afford the obtained electrical contact materials with efficient refractoriness, and its maximum is 12 weight %, because if Cd is given in its maximum amount of 5 weight %, the resultant materials will be too brittle. And, in order to make the most of the aforementioned excellent properties of Cd oxides, the Sn amount shall be 12 weight % at maximum. As to a Cd amount, its minimum amount is 0.5 weight % to ensure to have CdO exert its specific properties in the Ag contact materials, while the amount shall be as much as small in order to avoid pollution, and be 5 weight % at maximum. In this invention, though it is characteristic that ternary Ag alloys which are added only by Sn and Cd and without any auxiliary element for the internal oxidation such as In or Bi, and prepared by melting, are internal-oxidized, one or more elements selected from iron family elements (Fe, Co, and Ni) may be added to said ternary Ag alloys. Such addition is not for the acceleration or assistance of internal-oxidation, but merely for fining or minuting alloy crystalline structures of the resultant alloys. In order to achieve this end, iron family elements will be added at an amount of 0.001-1 weight %.
This invention is also to provide a novel method for preparing the above-mentioned novel electrical contact materials.
To wit, it has been discovered by the present inventors through a large number of experiments that those Ag(balance)-Sn (more than 5-12 weight %) - Cd (0.5-5 weight %) alloys which had been impossible to be internal-oxidized, can successfully and completely be internal-oxidized when an oxygen atmosphere for the internal-oxidation is made more than 10 atm.
It has been known that in the manufacture of electrical contact materials by internally oxidizing Ag alloys, their Ag matrices are heated so that they become active to induce outside oxygen thereinto. A heating temperature for this end is commonly in a range of 500°-750° C. In this connection, it has been also found by the present inventors that while Ag(balance)-Sn (more than 5-12 weight %) - Cd (0.5-5 weight %) alloys can be internal-oxidized in an oxygen atmosphere of more than 10 atm, the above-mentioned heating temperature shall preferably be made comparatively lower within the above-mentioned range of temperature, when the oxygen atmosphere is selected higher. This is because that if the oxygen atmosphere and the heating temperature are both high, Ag matrices become excessively active and consequently take thereinto oxygen too much, resulting in making an oxidation velocity of Sn in the Ag matrices too fast and in producing subscales at surface areas of the Ag matrices on account of the segregation of Sn oxides thereabout. In other words, when the oxygen atmosphere pressure is made comparatively low above 10 atm, the heating temperature will preferably be made high within the above-mentioned range of about 500°-750° C. And, on the contrary, it is preferable that when the oxygen atmosphere is comparatively high above 10 atm, the heating temperature will be made low within the above-mentioned range of internal-oxidation heating temperature.
When Ag alloys of the above-mentioned specific constituents are internal-oxidized in accordance with this invention, it is also preferable to conduct the internal-oxidation at such condition where the Ag alloys are kept at a solid phase not involving any liquid phase, since if the alloys become liquid even partially, metal oxides precipitated by then might move about floatingly towards surface areas of the alloys and subsequently make subscales thereabout.
In this view, when the heating temperature is sided low within the above-mentioned range of temperature or near to its minimum temperature of about 500° C., it is better to make the oxygen atmosphere as much as higher. But, in order to prevent the alloys from becoming liquid and on account of safe and economic industrial and commercial operations, the maximum oxygen atmosphere preferably employable in this invention will be up to about 200 atm. In other words, when Ag(balance)-Sn (more than 5-12 weight %) - Cd (0.5-5 weight %) alloys made by meling are internal-oxidized in accordance with this invention, the lower and upper or minimum and maximum oxygen atmosphere shall preferably be more than 10 atm and 200 atm, and its heating temperature shall preferably be in a range of about 750° C. to about 500° C.
This invention is explained in a further concrete manner in the following examples.
(1) Ag-Sn 6 weight %-Cd 3%
(2) Ag-Sn 6 weight %-Cd 3%-Ni 0.2 weight %
The above constituents (1) and (2) were melted and made to ingots of 120 mm in diameter and 40 mm in length. The ingots were hot-extruded into squre bars of 30 mm in thickness and 50 mm in width. The bars were then cut to a length of 500 mm each, and their upper and lower surfaces were shaved by a thickness of 3 mm each to obtain square bars of 24 mm in thickness, 510 mm in width, and 500 mm in length.
To each lower surface of the square bars, there were bounded pure silver of 2.5 mm in thickness. They were rolled by pressure so that they had thickness of 1.2 mm. By punching them by a punch having a cutting hole of 6 mm in diameter, disk-shaped contact materials backed by the pure silver and having 6 mm diameter and 1.2 mm thickness were obtained.
They were internal-oxidized by heating them 700° C. for 48 hours in an oxygen atmosphere of 25 atm.
Vertical sections of the resulted contact materials were observed through a microscope to the effect that there was produced no subscale at and about surface areas of the materials, and that Sn constituents were completely oxidized. Of course, Cd constituents were also completely internally oxidized. It was observed also that particles of Sn oxides were extremely fine and were precipitated evenly in their Ag matrices, irrespectively of Ag grain boundaries of the Ag matrices. Precipitation distribution and structures of Sn and Cd oxides were thus extremely fine, as if they were prepared by powder-metallurgical methods.
In order to make a comparison, the following alloy (3) was made. Contact materials which are made by the internal oxidation of said alloy (3) are known as one of the today's best electrical contacts having extremely excellent contact characteristics and performance.
(3) Ag-Sn 6 weight %-In 1 weight %-Ni 0.2 weight %
This alloy which had been prepared by melting, was processed into disk-shaped contact materials same to those specified in the above (1) and (2) alloys. The disk-shaped contacts were internal-oxidized by heating them to 620° C. for 24 hours at a normal oxygen atmosphere of 1 atm.
The resultant contacts (3) were observed by a microscope, similarly to the contacts (1) and (2). It was found that Sn was completely internal-oxidized in these contacts too, while they were precipitated along Ag grain boundaries, and were noticeably coarser than those of the contacts (1) and (2).
Hardness (HRF) and electrical conductivity (IACS %) of the above internal-oxidized contact materials (1), (2), and (3) were as follows.
______________________________________ Hardness Electrical conductivity______________________________________(1) 83 60(2) 85 58(3) 95 55______________________________________
Welding times by anti-welding tests (conducted under electric voltage of DC 240 V, initial electric current (discharge current from a condenser electric current) of 700 A, contact pressure of 200 g, and test cycles of 20) were as follows.

Ranges of initial contact resistances of the above contact materials (1), (2), and (3) were as follows, while their ranges of contact resistances after 10,000 cycles of switching on and off by means of AC-4 working tests (3 phase AC 200 V, pf 0.5, electrical charges for 0.1 second, 20 cycles of on and off/minute) of electromagnetic breakers, were also as follows.

As described and explained above in detail, this invention can provide novel electrical contact materials made of Ag(balance)-Sn (more than 5-12 weight %) - Cd (0.5-5 weight %) alloys which has been prepared by melting and internal-oxidized. As readily known from the above test data, the electrical contact materials made in accordance with this invention are substantially ternary Ag-Sn-Cd alloy provided with Sn and Cd oxides precipitated extremely finely and evenly in its Ag matrix and, consequently having excellent contact properties, especially improved exellent electrical contact resistances.

QAD Inc. (NASDAQ:QADA) (NASDAQ:QADB), a leading provider of enterprise software and services for global manufacturers, today announced early adopters of the new QAD Business Process Management (BPM) solution are realizing significant improvements in enterprise performance. Delivered as part of their maintenance plan, customers utilizing QAD Enterprise Applications gain the fully integrated QAD BPM solution that is driving greater operational excellence and agility while offering easy on-boarding for business users.
IMRIS Sees QAD Enterprise Applications as a Core Platform
"QAD Enterprise Applications solution is the core platform our company uses to manage our customer orders and deliveries," said Ben VanOsch, director of IT Services at IMRIS, a global leader in providing image guided therapy solutions through its VISIUS Surgical Theatre. "The announcement of the QAD BPM early adopter program at the QAD 2012 Explore conference was extremely timely and valuable for us. Earlier this year, our company began re-engineering our business processes. Using QAD BPM allows us to automate the manual notification components, streamline our workflow and mitigate risks associated with paper notifications and tribal knowledge of our systems and products."
QAD BPM supports implementations of management practices, policies and metrics to enable businesses to improve their efficiency. It consists of software tools designed to help organizations document, automate, manage, analyze and improve processes. It offers enterprises a faster, better and more intelligent way to visualize and automate business processes. QAD BPM empowers organizations to identify and follow conditional decision points throughout the business process. It allows measurement of key process efficiencies critical to facilitating process improvement.
Dedicated QAD Services and Solutions Team Helps Customer Go Live on Time
"The QAD team was invaluable in helping us deliver the requirements on schedule and configure our systems accordingly," added VanOsch. "We see QAD BPM becoming the core tool within the QAD stack that will help us drive efficiencies in our business through business rules, alerts and workflow."
With QAD BPM, companies gain greater visibility across the entire organization to identify and optimize end-to-end performance.
"Many businesses have unique processes that may exist on the edge but are integrated with their enterprise resource planning (ERP)," stated Mike Beasley, director of Information Systems at Mueller Industries. "The QAD BPM tool has allowed us to fully align our work procedures with our QAD systems. The enhanced visibility of the workflows allows us to better monitor and continue to improve our process quality, and makes user cross training and new user on-boarding much more effective."
The new BPM offering from QAD helps manufacturers:
- Create, manage, and automate business process models which can be used to assign tasks to individuals or departments based on their roles and responsibilities.
- Provide the information needed to monitor active processes through pre-defined metrics and identify what doesn't work in order to reduce or eliminate bottlenecks.
- Modify business processes affected by internal or external changes and implement them across the company without causing major disruptions to the activities of their employees.
QAD Delivers the Power of Simplicity for IT with Fully Embedded BPM
In a recent research note published about the new QAD BPM announcement, Nucleus Research discussed the value of a fully embedded solution versus partial functionality: "Many ERP vendors provide workflow management and even some BPM functionality as part of their core ERP offering, but these features are usually not enough for companies to create and manage business processes. Another approach adopted by ERP vendors is to integrate with standalone BPM solutions provided by vendors like IBM, Software AG, SAP, or Oracle. Integration between ERP and BPM may work, but it brings with it technological and organizational challenges, which can add to the complexity of the IT infrastructure managed by the company.
"An embedded BPM module offers the best of both worlds because it is part of the ERP package and requires little or no maintenance. It also provides robust functionality for companies to manage their business processes and change them as required. The embedded BPM module enables businesses to be more agile since they can react quickly to changes in their industry or market and minimize the disruptions caused by these changes. Another important challenge that agile business processes can address is regulatory compliance for industries like life sciences and food and beverage." (Nucleus Research m146 - The impact of business software integration on ROI, October 2012. © 2012 Nucleus Research, Inc.)
"We continuously innovate QAD Enterprise Applications with capabilities like this full fledged, fully embedded BPM solution because it helps our manufacturing customers become more effective in a big way," said Bill Keese, SVP research and development at QAD. "The power and simplicity our customers gain with QAD BPM helps them run better processes, deliver excellence and align with strategic goals to become more effective enterprises."

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

DENVER, CO - Citizen Pictures (www.citizenpictures.com) recently completed production and post on a new television spot for Dish Network that promotes its PocketDISH, a handheld device that allows users to download their favorite programming and watch it at their leisure.
Hellelujah opens during a church service. The minister is giving his sermon, and the congregation is listening attentively. As the camera moves down the aisle, one man's devotion seems just a bit more intense that the rest. His head is bowed and his hands are in his
lap. While it appears as if he's intensely praying, he's actually watching a football game on a PocketDISH. Overwhelmed by a last-second, game-winning touchdown, the man jumps up, cheering and throwing his arms in the air. The camera cuts to the minister, who looks pleased with the reaction to his sermon.
The organist, we find out, is also watching a game and, inspired by the action, plays the familiar "Charge!" jingle.
Citizen Pictures' Jeanne Kopeck served as director with Andrew Turman acting as DP. The spot was shot on Super 16mm film and transferred using a Spirit Datacine. Tom Welborn cut the :30 spot using Apple's Final Cut Pro. Herman Nieuwoudt handled tracking/compositing using Shake. End-tag graphics were created using Adobe After Effects.

Nov. 7, 1999
By HANK KURZ Jr.
AP Sports Writer
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - David Rivers' first three quarters as Virginia's quarterback were about what might be expected of a player whose only job in almost three years of college football was snapping the ball on the punt team.
His last three quarters were more than enough to make it all worthwhile.
"Amazing," coach George Welsh said after Rivers overcame a slow start and rallied Virginia to a 45-38 victory against then-No. 7 Georgia Tech. "The kid did good."
Rivers had thrown 15 passes in his career when he was tabbed to start in place of the injured Dan Ellis against the Yellow Jackets on Saturday. His counterpart was Joe Hamilton, a leading Heisman Trophy hopeful and the nation's top-rated quarterback.
Considering the stakes and expectations, it was no contest.
Bolstered by the 213-yard, two-touchdown running of Thomas Jones and a defense that stiffened when it needed to most, Rivers led the Cavaliers back from an early 17-0 deficit with three touchdown passes and surprised even his coach and his teammates.
Only a week ago, Rivers' duties as long-snapper were his only ones on the field. He lost that job when Ellis' recovery from a concussion made him the starting quarterback.
"He had a lot asked of him, to go out there and match the leading Heisman Trophy candidate and probably the best quarterback in the nation play for play," tackle Noel LaMontagne said. "It's just incredible for him to perform so well under those conditions."
Rivers finished 18-for-30 for 228 yards. He never lost his cool, his teammates said, and seemed to grow in confidence each time the Cavaliers moved the chains.
"I felt like once we started moving the ball on them, that was all we needed to do," said the Augusta, Ga., native, who was born and raised a devout Yellow Jackets fan.
Georgia Tech also helped make it a game with three crucial mistakes.
The Yellow Jackets scored on four of their first five possessions, but lost the ball at the Virginia 6 when Hamilton's pitch missed Dez White and Byron Thweatt recovered.
Later, Marvious Hester dropped an interception deep in Georgia Tech territory on the drive when Virginia went ahead to stay, and then Kelly Campbell let what would have been a 68-yard touchdown pass from Hamilton go off his fingertips on the next series.
Three plays after the drop, with 10:10 remaining, the Yellow Jackets punted.
"They did what they had to do," Yellow Jackets coach George O'Leary said of the Cavaliers, who kept alive their chance of winning seven games for the 13th straight season. Only Florida State, Michigan and Nebraska have streaks that long.
Georgia Tech, meantime, dropped to 13th in the AP poll released Sunday and saw its chances for an at-large bid to the Bowl Championship Series all but evaporate.
"It's the luck of the draw, man, the luck of the draw," Hamilton said.
