This is the full-featured Linux version VMware toolbox for FreeBSD

As VMware toolbox included in VMware tools for FreeBSD is not as good
as that for Linux, it lacks some useful features such as time

why this port is provided.

Welcome to the new linux ports infrastructure which allows using
both current (fc4) and future linux (f8) distributions at one
ports tree.
The patch contains full changes to ports/Mk files and all ports involved.
But only infrastructure is changed. The resulting packages are the same as
before. Hence no need to bump PORTREVISIONs.
The idea was taken from bsd.gnome.mk and others.
More than 130 ports are switched to follow a new linux infrastructure

Proposed Congressional Cuts to Nutrition Assistance Would Cost JobsApril 14, 2015
This week, the House will vote on a measure to repeal the estate tax, which would shower the wealthiest 0.2 percent of estates in the country with an average tax cut of $2.5 million. Meanwhile, the House has already passed a budget proposal that would convert the nation's bedrock nutrition assistance program—the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP—into block grants to the states. If implemented, this conversion would result in $125 billion in cuts to struggling families between 2021 and 2025. This draconian proposal would kick up to 12 million people off of food assistance or...

The potential sequester could coast West Virginia Schools nearly $10 million. That's according to White House release.
The state could lose $5.8 million in funding for primary and secondary education, and $3.6 million in funding for teachers and staff who help children with disabilities.
Monongalia County Schools superintendent Frank Devono said the large-scale spending cuts could cost the school system up to $300,000.
Devono said the school system is planning for a potential seven to eight percent budget cuts in four areas: programs for low socioeconomic and special education students, as well as staff development and head start programs.
He said the cuts mean figuring out how best to serve students with fewer resources.
"The needs are still there. You still have to serve the students, still have to serve the schools, that hasn't changed. It's our ability to change, how we want to do that now in order to meet the needs of the students," Dr. Devono said.

This historic 2005 reunion at London's fabled Royal Albert Hall stacks up to be a classic reunion, packaged in the high definition Blu-ray format. Featuring 19-songs culled from Cream's relatively brief tenure, the band along with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, helped define the rock power-trio format.
Cream's string of hits comprised a twofold process. In the 60's, many pop and rock fans were not accustomed to higher levels of musicianship, intertwined with sustainable compositions and scorching improvisational segments. Here, guitarist Eric Clapton turns up the heat via his distortion-tinged breakouts and a few teaser segments keenly injected at various intervals. For instance, on "Spoonful," he dishes out a sweltering solo and harmonizes with Bruce to raise the overall pitch. At times, the renewed vigor and dynamic of the concert yields lucid imagery of a fabled monument undergoing restoration.
Baker vocalizes and drums on his endearing and quirky piece "Pressed Rat and Warthog," offering lucid imagery of a psychedelic, Alice in Wonderland vibe. However, Bruce and Baker integrate a jazz improvisation element into various jam movements. And the psyched-out lightshow projected behind the stage offers a flashback into the grassroots hippie movement era of the 60's and 70's.
Bruce lashes out on harmonica for the hard-hitting Delta blues-rock vamp "Rolling and Tumbling," where members of the audience rise to the occasion and dance to the music. On "We're Going Wrong," Baker's African rhythmical influences come to the forefront with his use of mallets and regimented tribal patterns across the toms. However, justice wouldn't be served if the trio neglected "White Room," and "Sunshine of Your Love," performed here with all the conceivable vim and vigor imaginable.
Baker stretches via his customary solo on "Toad," and reaffirms his legendary status as one of the premier, pace-setting drummers in rock, not to mention his rather historic jazz and jazz-rock endeavors with artists such as bassist Charlie Haden, guitarist Bill Frisell and others. Moreover, his extended solo features difficult cross-sticking techniques and tumultuous double bass drum maneuvers.
Interviews, including Baker's remark that Clapton is basically a jazz guitarist provide interest amid the musicians' insights concerning the reunion. Cream's masterful performance vividly translates into a historic rock video. Nonetheless, the musicians' conviction and gusto tenders a modern portraiture of an important era in pop music. Indeed, Cream helped raise the bar by setting higher standards in rock music and were catalysts for the musical renaissance that was soon to follow.

Your iPhone is full of amazing features, but some of the coolest things about it are sold separately. Whether it's a skin-tight charging case you're looking for, a keychain-sized tracking device or a foolproof way to keep your phone from dropping, we've got you covered.
Apple Starting To Reject Apps That Use Cookies To Track Users
Apple has been historically fickle about how it lets marketers and developers track iOS users through apps downloaded from the App Store. After all of the privacy concerns were raised about the UDID device identifier back in 2011, a better solution never presented itself.
Apple eventually introduced its own Advertising Identifier for iOS device tracking purposes, but marketers still favored the unique, permanent nature of the UDID. The UDID worked so well because it was a device-specific identifier that could never be changed. Athough developers were technically banned from using the UDID to track iOS devices more than a year ago, many, many apps still use the deprecated method today.
Apple is reportedly starting to reject apps that use web cookies to track user activity in iOS. Could this mean a reinvigorated push towards the Advertising Identifier again?
Hope You Like Trackpads, Because Apple Is Killing Off The Magic Mouse [Updated]
We've gotten word from a previously reliable source that Apple is discontinuing the Magic Mouse in favor of the Magic Trackpad. Our retail source has informed us that Magic Mouse inventory is not being replenished for Apple stores, and that Apple is finally phasing out the Magic Mouse.
iPhone Tracking Is All A Big Mistake, Says Researcher
The iPhone tracking issue that's causing a big privacy stink isn't new and isn't really tracking users, says an iOS forensics researcher.
It's actually a data file that is used internally by the iPhone to do things like geo-tag photos, and it's been in iOS for a long time (in a different form).
What's new is a nifty extraction tool called iPhoneTracker that pulls the data off your hard drive and makes a striking map out of it. iPhoneTracker was released this week at O'Reilly's Where 2.0 conference, causing a huge outcry about privacy and prompting U.S. Senator Al Franken to write to Steve Jobs.
In addition, the file has become more accessible than it used to be because it's now used by third-party apps that require location data.
"It is not secret, malicious, or hidden," writes Alex Levinson, an iOS forensics researcher.

All quotes by Chamfort
(74 quotes found)
"Love, in present-day society, is just the exchange of two imaginary pictures, and the contact of one epidermis with another."
"An author is often obscure to the reader because they proceed from the thought to expression than like the reader from the expression to the thought."
"Paris, a city of gaieties and pleasures, where four-fifths of the inhabitants die of grief. [About Paris]"
"Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all."
"Nature never said to me: Do not be poor; still less did she say: Be rich; her cry to me was always: Be independent."
"Education must have two foundations --morality as a support for virtue, prudence as a defense for self against the vices of others. By letting the balance incline to the side of morality, you only make dupes or martyrs; by letting it incline to the other, you make calculating egoists."

You may not be able to name any of Salvador Dalí's works, but you'd certainly recognize his moustache. The late Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was an acclaimed Spanish artist, a key player in the surrealist movement and famous bon viveur. Although Dalí also resided in Madrid and Paris, he's most commonly associated with Catalonia's Costa Brava, where he lived for most of his life.

Top 15 technology challenges for 22-nm node
Post a comment
6. High-k/metal-gate
Replacement gate integration approach will be challenging due to narrower gate lengths. Zirconium oxide will be required for the scaling down of equivalent oxide thickness (EOT).
7. Strain technology
Various technologies, including stress memorization techniques (SMT) and tensile stress liner, have been used and embedded Si-C may be needed to improve NMOS current drive. Embedded silicon germanium (SiGe), compressive stress liner and channel/substrate orientation will be needed to boost PMOS performance.
8. Interlayer dielectric
Ultra low-k dielectric or air gap technology will be required as well as new barrier materials for copper. Further reduction of ''K'' value from 2.6 to 2.2 will be necessary to reduce coupling capacitance. Porous carbon-doped oxide materials will be needed.
9. Ultra shallow junctions for NMOS and PMOS
Ion implantation, coupled with flash and spike anneal, will be required.
10. Advanced liner for copper interconnect
Advanced liner and capping layer will be needed to improve the performance of the copper interconnect.

I can't change a standard account to an Administrator Account!!!
I recently logged onto my account about 2 days ago to finish a project. The music file I used for the account was could not be found and when I went to locate it I was told I didn't have administrator rights. I went to Control Panel because I was sure I was an Administrator, but sure enough, I was set as a Standard User. I tried changing it up but it wouldn't change. I tried changing the account name also, and it wouldn't change. I could only change account picture. I can't open UAC, I click it and it blinks but nothing opens.
I went online and tried these suggestions:
I deleted any recent program installations,
I booted in safe mode, however I was still not able to change my account,
I tried activating the hidden administrator account but I received an "access denied" message,
I tried creating a new account but I received the following message:
"The specified account name is not valid, because account names contain the following characters: /\[]":;|<>=+,?*
Please type a different name."
I didn't use any of those characters in the account name.
I ran 2 different virus scans, and they came up with nothing,
I turned the computer off, unplugged everything, and pressed the power button for 30 seconds, and rebooted, but still nothing!
My roommate shares this computer with me, and her account is still an administrator. However she has traveled and I haven't been able to get hold of her yet. We share music files and the file I was trying to use is in her account. Any ideas why my account was changed and how I can change it back?

"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" is the game your parents warned you about.
Loaded with mayhem, bloodshed and opportunities for gratuitous violence, the latest in this wildly politically incorrect series is saved by the fact that it is beautifully done and a ton of fun to play.
Devel oped by Rockstar North for the PlayStation 2, GTA:VC improves on one of the most popular games in PS2 history. "Grand Theft Auto III" has sold more than 6 million copies in the United States and Europe and everyone who bought that game is likely to ante up for the latest version.
Why? Because it's better (or worse, depending on your point of view) in every way.
More missions for the mob. More chances to earn cash to buy automatic weapons. More vehicles to steal over 100, including planes, motorcycles and boats. More cops to chase you around. More places to see and go Vice City is twice as big as III's Liberty City. More and better weapons.
There's a new system that makes it far easier to hit your targets. And the soundtrack is incredible, from wild rock music to hilarious talk shows to a cast of stars handling the voice acting, including Ray Liotta, Tom Sizemore, Dennis Hopper and Burt Reynolds.
You play as Tommy Vercetti, a down-and-out thug fresh out of stir who is given a chance by a sleazy mob boss to make a few bucks handling odd jobs. There are some easy ones, like taking the boss's girlfriend to a club, intimidating jurors or whacking a pizza delivery boy.
Graphics get an A. This is a huge game, full of colorful people, excellent interior and exterior scenes and miles of territory to explore. Graphics are not incredibly detailed, but the "Miami Vice" pastels and huge cast make the game a treat to look at.
Control gets another A. Vercetti is easy to guide, and while vehicles don't always do exactly what you want, they handle well enough. It's great fun to roar around town on a Harley-Davidson or in a pricey sports car or cruise overhead in a helicopter, targeting unsuspecting bad guys.
Sound gets an A+. The sound track, sound effects and the fabulous cast of real actors make the game a delight to the ears.
As a videogame, "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" gets an enthusiastic A. If the moral issues don't bother you this is just a game, after all it may well be the best title this year.

If there's one thing we've figured out here over recent years, it's that you win October baseball games with pitching, regardless of how good your offense is. Look out the Texas Rangers, who have always been good offensively but now have some pitchers. Heck, look at the San Francisco Giants.
So when you have a good pitcher, you have to keep him, and it appears the Rangers are working on doing just that with Matt Harrison.
The 27-year-old lefty went 18-11 in 2012, pitched a career-high 213 1/3 innings and finished with a 3.29 ERA after going 14-9 with a 3.39 ERA in 2011.
"We're still talking," Harrison told The Dallas Morning News. "We're excited about the possibility of a long-term deal, but we still have thinking and talking to do."
The Rangers did this same thing with Derek Holland last offseason, giving him a five-year deal worth $26 million, a bargain comparatively speaking for a guy that was about to hit free agency. Now, Harrison is set to be a free agent after the 2014 season and the Rangers would like to avoid that with Harrison, who should be in line to get more money than Holland after the past two seasons he's put up.

JUPITER, Fla., Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Former slugger Mark McGwire says the publication of a tell-all book by his brother Jay is "a sad day" for his family.
Mark McGwire, speaking to reporters Thursday at the St. Louis Cardinals' spring training facility in Jupiter, Fla., said he doesn't plan on "ever seeing" his brother again after the publication of his book, "Mark and Me: Mark McGwire and The Truth Behind Baseball's Worst-Kept Secret," the Palm Beach Post reported.
In the book, Jay McGwire claims he introduced his brother to steroids and casts doubt on Mark McGwire's claims to have used the bodybuilding drugs purely for health reasons, rather than to gain a competitive edge.
The Post reported McGwire said the book marked a "sad day" seven times during an eight-minute interview, adding, "He had to do something to try to sell a book."
Mark McGwire set the single season home run record in 1998 with 70, finishing his 16-year career with 583 home runs. The ex-slugger in January admitted to using steroids for about 10 years, but only to recover from injuries.

Protest at Pattani Mosque ended.Submitted by prachatai on Tue, 05/06/2007 - 00:00
On June 4 around 12.00 PM, thousands of people led by uiversity students ended their 5-day rally after having gathered at the central mosque in Pattani to protest authorities' abuses against local Muslims. They marched from the mosque along the road for about one kilometer, and parted company by cars and buses.
We shall return if promises are not kept.
While marching, they gave speeches, explaining that the protest was for justice, and thanked local residents for not obstructing the gathering. Leaflets were handed out to people along the way, stating the reason for dissolving as the authorities had accepted the demand to appoint a panel to investigate the abuse cases, and were waiting for the Prime Minister's official order. The Student Network for the People would resume the gathering if the deal was betrayed.
Director of Internal Security Operation Command Region Four was responsible for appointing the investigating panel. Advisors to the panel, according to Issara News Agency, were ex-senator Mr.Sopon Supapong, National Human Rights Commissioner Mr.Surasi Kosonnawin, and Ms.Jiaporn Bunnag.
The 29-member panel, reduced from the initially proposed 45, was to include local prominent Muslims, and Ms.Angkana Neelapaijit-wife of the missing Muslim lawyer Somchai Neelapaijit, as well as representatives of the Law Society Of Thailand, National human Rights Commission, Provincial Governors, Provincial Attorneys, Army Commanders, and other local state authorities.
During the dispersal, the military personnel were also distributing leaflets of the Internal Security Operation Command Region Four, which denied the rape allegation in the May 22 murder case in Yaha district, Yala province, and stated that the culprits were not army rangers, though dressed like ones.
Leader of the student group Mr.Tuwaedaneeya Tuwaemaengae said that they had achieved the goal; that was to publicize the sufferings and injustice local people had faced. The panel to be set up must be truly impartial and independent; if not, and if more abuses arose, they would call another protest.
"This protest is in no way wrong. This is Democracy. Local people just don't know how to do it, so we came to help. We can mobilize people instantly, if needs be," he said.
Cell phone service resumed in three hours after the dispersal.
Wife of missing lawyer acquired information on the rape and murder case.
Ms.Angkana Neelapaijit said that on June 3 late at night, she talked with relatives of a victim of the murder. The facts according them were the same as what she had already acquired on phone from relatives of another victim. The culprits were said to dress in black, wear military boots, and cover their faces. They fired, attacked, raped and killed.
Ms.Angkana said that there were witnesses on the scene, but no evidence to prove the facts. That the bodies were buried without washing, so she thought some evidence could be found. She told the relatives to have confidence in justice; therefore they had to cooperate with the authorities.
PM said yes
Prime Minister's Office Spokesperson Capt. Dr.Yongyuth Maiyalap told the press that Prime Minister Gen.Surayuth Julanont had had a video-conference meeting with Army Region Four Chief Lieut.Gen.Wiroj Buacharun, in the capacity of Director of ISOC Region Four, and Director of Southern Province Administration Mr.Pranai Suwannarat. The PM was briefed on the situation in the South, including the protest.
The Spokesperson said that the PM agreed with the proposal to appoint the investigating panel, so that all parties could discuss to find solution.
Unrests in the South continued unabated
On June 3 morning, a Yala-Nakon Sitammarat train derailed in Pattani as a result of undone rail rivets. 12 passengers and crews were injured. Three more attempts to cause derailment were also found at three spots in Yala; rail rivets undone and railroad beams burned with tires, causing 24 trains to stop running.
Railway Labor Union in Had Yai asked Army Region Four for protection.
Meanwhile, a bomb exploded at a bus stop in Tak Bai of Narathiwat, but no one got injured. Later in another district of the same province, assailants bombed, shot, and wounded three security personnel protecting school teachers.

HeadRoom Max headphone amplifier Page 3
Articulate—that's the word that best describes Max. Oh, there are others: fast, rich, complex—and, paradoxically, simple as well. But articulate is the one that resonates most strongly. Perhaps I'm more sensitive to this than most, but for me, music is primarily about communication.
It could be argued that musical communication is compromised when the complete frequency range is slighted, or when transient edges are blunted—and I agree entirely. In fact, HeadRoom Max illuminates the frequency extremes with uncommon clarity. Its bass response is deep and full-bodied, and it will exercise your chosen headphones' HF response to their utmost. It also defines the leading edges of transients as climactically as a mallet striking an anvil. But that's mere mechanics compared to the effortless way Max has of fitting together musical expression into a coherent whole.
Albert Einstein said, "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." To my way of thinking, that is one of the defining high-end paradoxes: Low-end and mid-fi gear tends to mash details together into a musical hash, whereas the better high-end gear unravels those details for you. But the thing is, the details themselves aren't the music. Music has an identity that exists outside the mere cataloging of its components. The best music attains a coherence that is simultaneously composed of its discrete parts and is, in some sense, simpler than them. Music is, in Barzun's memorable phrase, "intangible and ineffable; it can only be, as it were, inhaled by the spirit." Capturing that essence is the elusive task that the High End has set for itself—and to my ears, one that Max accomplishes.
But it's maddeningly difficult to describe. To start with, I found HeadRoom Max unusually adept at unraveling timbre and harmonic detail. Listening to Don Byron's Bug Music (Nonesuch 79438-2), January 1997's "Recording of the Month," I was aware of the harmonic interplay between Byron's clarinet, Steve Wilson's alto sax, and Robert DeBellis's tenor in a way that kept each voice quite distinct, even in unison sections. Listening to the same passages played through the Home HeadRoom, the three instruments sounded more like a single voice—overtones were smoothed out, and differences between instruments diminished. The tricky twists and turns that the music took were reduced in impact.
I tried the same comparison with Melos's SHA-Gold, which—lacking the HeadRoom crossfeed module—required that I bypass Max's processor in order to compare just the amplifier sections of the two. The SHA-Gold, a marvelous headphone amp, matched Max's ability to unravel the woodwind signatures of the three musicians. What was simple stayed simple—and what was complex was not reduced. Yet Billy Hart's cymbal work seemed more prominent through the Melos. My first thought was that the tubed, more expensive Melos had a more extended top-end, but repeated listening and comparison—on this disc and others—led me to the realization that the increased emphasis on the ride cymbal was indicative of greater sibilance through the SHA-Gold. The sss-sss-sss of the brass started and stopped with greater authority through HeadRoom Max. Good as the SHA-Gold is, I found Max faster and cleaner.
Privacy and consideration aside, for many listeners speed and detail are what headphone listening is all about. I recently had to evaluate test pressings of Robert Silverman's Sonata LP (STPH008-1), and while I did most of my critical listening on my reference system, I plugged in Max to spotlight pre-echo and groove roar.
Speed and detail can be a double-edged sword, however; too much of either and the sound turns brittle and bright. My hat's off to Hertsens—he got the balance just right. I could hear details I'd never heard before, but was still able to listen for hour after hour without listener fatigue.
Max is also admirably transparent. These last few months I've simply been devouring Paul Hilliard and the Theater of Voices' The Age of Cathedrals (Harmonia Mundi 907157, CD). It is a spectacularly natural-sounding recording of voices in a reverberant space—St. Vincent's Church in San Rafael, California, as it so happens. The program explores music fostered by the Cathedral of Notre Dame—which, rather than serving as some pedantic hook with which to anchor a grab-bag of styles and composers, turns out to make for a rich and fascinating collection. One of my favorite works is an anonymous "lesson" explaining the mysteries of the virgin birth, In hoc anni circulo. Over a vocal drone, two tenors take turns chanting the text, verse by verse. The drone fills the chapel, the prolonged decay illuminating its vast size. The sound seems to seek the boundaries, surrounding the strong tenor voices that pierce the drone and read the lesson.

Congresswoman claims a Filner groping (years ago)
Former San Diego mayor allegedly went in for a kiss
Don Bauder 5:30 p.m., Nov. 20
(Page 2 of 2)
Sweepstakes and lotteries tend to suck in the elderly more than others. You're told you have won a sweepstakes, for example. "Enclosed is a check for $5700," says Paul Greenwood, head of elder abuse prosecutions in the district attorney's office. "You're told you must send $3700 for taxes and expenses. You send it and their check bounces," he says. You're stuck. The scamsters are in Canada, but he can't locate them.
"The smoking-car scam is another," says Greenwood. An elderly person is driving. "Your car is about to explode," shouts someone who says he is a mechanic. He gets the victim to take money out of the bank. The purported mechanic does a lot of unneeded work and pockets the money. Greenwood says a chap named Sonny Mitchell has just pleaded guilty to stealing from the elderly in pulling this scam.
The best job board I've ever was the one from the University at the school I attended. I'd venture to bet that most schools have some form of job boards for their students. Another good option for students are job fairs on campus. Before scouring online job postings on craigslist, monster.com, or any other site, I'd suggest applying to positions on individual company websites and networking with people in your classes.
re: #46 Those should do nicely :) Now, you just need a bevy of girls and a condemned building to squat.
Per post #9, Don, you recently reported the Qualcomm earnings as something negative and disappointing. The U-T, who else?, had them as good news. I think both parts of the story should get equal billing. As in the earnings are down, BUT not as much as the analysts thought. More often than not, the whole report is based around the expectations, and the historical value is never mentioned.
Barron's has had a roundtable for years, and nearly all of the participants are uniformly bullish about stocks. When we had the "dotcom" bubble burst, I don't remember a single one of those smartmoney people predicting it. A couple may have sounded mildly cautionary notes. Someone in that group must have seen it coming, yet sat silent. One of them, a woman named Abby Joseph Cohen, is a perpetual pollyanna, and if her track record were examined in the same way as an athlete, would have been benched and then released years ago. But no, she still sits and spews her happy-face nonsense twice a year. She knows exactly where her bread is buttered.
re: #18 Thanks pellis; yes, these options have been provided them. However, it is sometimes necessary to expand your searches outward.
Response to post #18: Agreed. Job boards and job fairs at your school may be the single best source of employment opportunities. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #19: Yes, Abby Joseph Cohen is a joke. The stock market goes up 4 out of every 5 years. So it is financially rewarding to be a perma-bull. When it plunges in that 5th year, wiping out your four years of gains, the perma-bull runs and hides. Yes, most analysts are bullish; how many "sell" recommendations do you ever see? It gets even more interesting with economists and stock analysts with a macrovision. Tell me now, how many foresaw the current crash? I can name just a few: A. Gary Shilling, Henry Kaufman, Nouriel Roubini, James Grant, Jeremy Grantham. There were some others. I consider myself lucky that I became a devotee of both Shilling and Kaufman as soon as I landed at the San Diego Union in 1973, and continued to follow them. As a financial/economic commentator, I was certainly wrong often, but I had the big picture in my sight better than most, thanks to Shilling and Kaufman. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #18: Yes, you must expand your search. But be careful. Best, Don Bauder
Recruiters are the worst...pimps, really. Rarely met one I considered ethical or trustworthy.
But then so much of the work we do in the modern economy can be equated to intellectual prostitution. Just like at a brothel, my clients pay me for a specific act or for a period of time during which they do with me as they like (within certain limits -- I never do marketing for example -- I do have my dignity).
Visduh: "The specialty of the HR dept is saying NO. If you apply for a position and land it, the good news will come from the boss. If you hear from HR it will be to tell that you didn't get the job."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Cordially yours,
S. "US Hater" Daniels
What do you charge, Fred?
SDaniels, if your students are looking for tech jobs, I've found www.dice.com to be pretty good.
Response to post #34: I guess we are all pimps in one way or another -- at least part of the time. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #35: I have to defend modern HR people to some extent. At the U-T circa the 1990s, HR instituted opinion tests measuring various things such as workers' feelings toward management, working conditions, etc. Those tests were helpful -- and quite embarrassing to management. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #36: I think the apt question is: What is your charge in relation to the quality of services your client provides? Best, Don Bauder
The best job board I've ever was the one from the University at the school I attended. .... I'd suggest applying to positions on individual company websites and networking with people in your classes.
Best jobs I ever had were off of a college job board.
The better/best jobs at gov and private employers are filled mostly through personal connections/recommendations. I find this to be especially true within gov, where the top paying jobs are almost exclusively filled by cronyism and nepostism hires, the reason behind this is you can get hacks in gov all day long and not have to worry because the gov cannot go BK, or out of business. As a former public school teacher I saw this up close and personal everyday, in virtually the entire system.
Response to post #10: I have not heard complaints about Career Builder, but this is definitely a scam area.
One of San Diego's most notorious head hunter/job finding firms was named Culver Personnel, and they used to run phony ads all the time, then they wluld call the people who sent in resumes and try to get you to purchase their job placement services.
Hopefully they have folded by now.
S. "US Hater" Daniels
So wha does the "S" stand for???
They can't go out of business but they can go BK -- at least, the municipality can go BK.
True. Respect to Mr Bauder.
re: #37 "I guess we are all pimps in one way or another..."
Mr Bauder, it is pretty difficult to imagine you with a cane and "pimp cup."
re: #38 That sounds like improvement in communications, but it is still wise to bypass HR when looking for a job.
re:39 The client is always right.
re: #40 "So wha does the "S" stand for???
That's for me to know, and you to find out, SurfPup :)
Response to post #12: I do see that there have been complaints about Career Builder. I don't know if they are valid, but I would be wary of such web sites. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #13: If you vouch for it, Fred, that's a good recommendation. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #48: I have no access to those. I am eliminated from the procurement profession. Best, Don Bauder
SDaniels, try this with your students:
Ask them what company they admire. What company makes something they find useful and interesting enough that they would work there gladly just to have their name associated with such a company.
Most students, if they're thoughtful, can find more than one company like this.
Then tell them to go online, find the contact information for the most senior person possible at that company, and hand write a letter (yes! on paper!) telling the reasons they admire the company and what they could offer (what they'd bring to the company).
Send that handwritten letter along with a brief resume, all printed on good paper, through the post. Be sure to include contact information.
Chances are the students will get a response of some kind. It may lead to something great.
At any rate, they'll know how to approach a company and make a good impression by investing time and effort learning about the company and finding out who works there, then considering what value they could bring...the reasons they might be hired.
The most important thing however, is a shift in mind set. You don't have to wait for someone to advertise a job. Go to the companies you admire and ask for a job.
I wish your students the best,
Thanks, Fred. I don't teach job-searching skills, but this is always good information to pass along. One thing I do tell them from experience is to avoid HR at all costs, and to address cover letters and correspondence to the head of the department of interest.
re: #29 Mr. Bauder, could you direct us to a link for the story?
Thanks, Fred! Many of my students are looking for nursing, business management, and yes-- tech jobs. I'll check it out.
Response to post #24: They can't go out of business but they can go BK -- at least, the municipality can go BK. You have contributed many enlightened posts to that discussion in re San Diego. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #25: In the past I did a number of columns about phony personnel/job placement firms. I remember getting into trouble at the U-T when I exposed one that was a big advertiser. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #26: Handwritten letter? Would the company think the student was a Luddite and toss the letter away? Anything going to a top official would get kicked downstairs to somebody lower on the totem pole. That said, you seem to speak from experience, so I won't gainsay your message. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #27: Interesting advice -- avoiding HR. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #16: Let's hope Fred doesn't have half the equity in dice.com. Just kidding. I don't think he does. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #40: Posters' identities are to be a secret, if they so desire. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #41: Nobody knows that better than you, SurfPuppy. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #42: Among many things, we collect antique canes -- both African and American. We have two American ones with a long knives concealed inside. Would a pimp use such a cane? Best, Don Bauder
In my estimation, HR people rank lower than used car sellers and even lawyers. Those jobs were once filled by folks who had failed elsewhere in the company or agency, but who were retained for various reasons that had little to do with effectiveness. Or they were true "people persons" who actually aided with employee satisfaction or motivation.
But now HR has gone "professional" and utterly bureaucratic. They have so-called professional groups that grant so-called professional certifications. Usually the employer pays for the HR "pro" to attend the conferences that accumulate credit toward a certification. Then once the title is conferred, the HR type can come back to the employer and demand more salary. They write the rule book and then exploit it to the hilt.
If you've ever been subjected to a telephone interview, just remember that such a wretched thing was invented by the HR cabal. Doing interviews that way is much less work for the HR type, and thus a popular way of doing things. The specialty of the HR dept is saying NO. If you apply for a position and land it, the good news will come from the boss. If you hear from HR it will be to tell that you didn't get the job.
Oh, and they love to handle dismal tasks such as layoffs and other terminations. HR needs to be relabeled Henchmen Resources. Stay as far away from HR as you can.
Response to post #32: In the old days, I knew some very good HR people. Back then, the function was called Personnel. I agree that the value of these people slumped in later years. Best, Don Bauder
Response to post #23: They are inacessible. You can't get anything earlier than the year 2000. Even if they appeared after 2000, I can't remember the names of the companies, so would never find them. Best, Don Bauder
check out directbuy if you want to see a real scam that the tv networks and local stations help propagate ( they don't want to loose ad revenue)
one link that may point out how they are fleecing customers
Response to post #1: That is definitely worth checking. Best, Don Bauder
Don, let's face it, U-T "Ballot Recommendations" and your Blog have proven it is has been far too easy to Scam San Diegans for far too many decades.
The worst-case scenario proof is that the U-T has elected three corrupt and incompetent Nero class mayors in a row, literally crashing and burning San Diego.
Response to post #3: Historically, the U-T has enthusiastically backed mayors, councilmembers, county supervisors, and nefarious other pols who were in the pockets of the real estate development industry. And the U-T has consistently denigrated or smeared reform politicians such as Donna Frye and Mike Aguirre. It's a pathetically sorry journalistic record. It is one reason the city is on the brink of bankruptcy. Best, Don Bauder
Great article Don,
This is an terrible story. It is sad to see the elderly getting taken in this kind of scheme. It seems that scams like this are on the rise during this recession.
I work on a blog that focuses on elder care and we often posts new scams that we hear about. We also answer questions on this topic. If you are interested, check out blog out at http://www.rightathome.net/seniorhomecare.
Keep up the good stories, Bill
Response to post #5: Seniors are always vulnerable; congratulations for keeping a blog on senior scams. However, not that many seniors tap the Internet. Thus, so many of the tech frauds victimize the younger folks. Best, Don Bauder
Ever since the Dominelli saga, I've wondered how people who were smart enough to accumulate wealth, often multimillions, can get so stupid about "investing" it. As I get older, I become more skeptical, not less.
Response to post #7: Yes, it's amazing how many scams the seemingly intelligent bite on. Best, Don Bauder
NOTE: Add on my response to post #7: I was talking about scams people bite on. One of the biggest is going on right now. When the talking heads on TV report profit news, they don't focus on actual results. They zero in on whether the results beat the consensus of Wall Street analysts. Earnings for a company can plunge 90% but the talking heads will beam that the Street expected them to go down 95%, thus they beat analyst estimates and the stock goes up. What happens is that analysts and managements conspire to keep the earnings estimate low. The brokerage house at which the analyst works surreptitiously gets word that earnings for XYZ will go down 60%, but the analyst consensus had been a drop of 65%. So the houses take a long position on the stock; it rises after the announcement and the brokerage makes a fat buck. Are you wondering why the big Wall Street houses are reporting fat trading profits? This is one of the reasons. Economist Joseph Stiglitz won a Nobel Prize for his work on asymmetric information -- that is, some people have more information than others. This is a classic example. Best, Don Bauder
Have there been complaints against Career Builder for phony jobs? Some of the links are really flaky.
Response to post #10: I have not heard complaints about Career Builder, but this is definitely a scam area. There are phony job websites which are actually phishing operations -- they want to get your vital information so they can make you a victim of identity theft. Best, Don Bauder
Re: post #11: Mr. Bauder, I am always looking for sites to recommend to job-searching students, and certainly do not want to recommend to them a phishing scam! Do you mind relating your specific source for this info on Career Builder and other such phony sites?

More from Detroit: VW E-Bugster concept
E-Bugster. Not the sound of a Yorkshireman swearing, but
Volkswagen's all-electric Beetle concept.
Unwrapped at the Detroit show, the E-Bugster is a chopped
two-seater that demonstrates, in the rather twee words of VW, that the new
Beetle is 'more power, less flower'. Its A-pillars are nine centimetres shorter
than those of the new Beetle and raked back more steeply too, giving the Bug' a
speedsterish profile.
The E-Bugster is a couple of centimetres wider than the
standard Beetle, with new front and rear bumpers sporting glitzy LED lights, a
new VW concept signature.
See more pictures of the E-Bugster concept
There's a battery where the rear seats should be, serving up
85kWh of power to a electric motor. Despite its schportier profile, the
E-Bugster isn't exactly searing in the pace department, taking eleven seconds
to reach 60mph. VW assures us it'll manage at least 110 miles on a single
charge, but then again they haven't seen the way we drive. Good thing, then,
that the E-Bugster can be fully recharged in just 35 minutes.
VW won't say at this stage whether a production electric
Beetle is on the cards, but admits that the E-Bugster's powertrain is
essentially identical to the upcoming electric Golf Blue-e-motion (no, really),
so the technology is certainly production-viable. The E-Bugster is also said to
hint at the design of the upcoming Beetle cabriolet, but don't expect the
production convertible to be anything like as chopped as this concept.
Company bosses were, sadly, unable to confirm whether the
E-Bugster would be followed by the U-Git and O-Justsodoffnow concepts.

Do you remember that commercial from a few years back, where the parents are dancing around the school supply aisle to the song "It's the most wonderful time of the year," as their children look on with disdain? My dad used to tease me and sing along when it came on television, eliciting an exaggerated, "Daaaaaaaaad," from his daughter.
But we both knew the truth: I loved going back to school. And I especially loved going school supply shopping.
Washington, D.C. has the bad news blues. Whether it's Congress passing bills that spend billions of dollars we don't have, rogue Supreme Court justices ignoring the clear text of the Constitution, or yet another unelected executive branch agency bureaucrat issuing a "regulation" that punishes free enterprise, it often seems that victories for freedom and liberty are rare.
One of the hallmarks of illegal drug use in Kentucky is that each epidemic tends to hit a region particularly hard before it fans out across the state.

As a crime, identity theft is anything but new. It dates back to biblical times, when Jacob pretended to be his brother to deceive their father, Isaac.
The term itself was coined in the mid-1960s, but it found new life with the popular rise of the internet. Now, barely a month passes without news of another breach of personal information that often affects millions of Americans.
Public service is a cornerstone of what we do. It is hard to define public service because it means something different to everyone based on his or her own personal needs. This is where we try to survey our community and try to find places where we can efficiently fill a void or play a supporting role to another group.
About a week ago, state officials released the latest annual report on the quality of a resource we too often take for granted: our drinking water.
In short, the news is good for those who rely on the treated water provided each and every day by our nearly 450 public utilities.
Many children at a very young age begin to have seizures – up to 20 per day.
For years, young children that have seizures have parents, grandparents and siblings stay their rooms nightly waiting and watching for attacks. There has been a new trend and way to help families with this health and wellness issue. Families are starting to get service dogs to assist.

Still don't think Detroit is the measuring stick for the rest of the league? Observe….
December 31st – Dwayne Roloson leads the New York Islanders to a 4-3 OT victory over Detroit
January 1st – Steve Yzerman trades Ty Wishart from the Bolts to the Isles in exchange for Roloson.
Stevie Y sees Rolly beat his former team and decides to make a change.
February 17th – Detroit tunes up the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-2
February 18th – Tampa Bay trades Brock Beukeboom and a third-round pick at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft for Eric Brewer
Stevie Y gets his hand slapped by his former team and decides that he needs to make another change.
February 26th – Detroit squeaks by the Buffalo Sabres in a 3-2 OT victory,
February 27th – Buffalo trades a second-round pick at the 2011 Entry Draft to St. Louis for Brad Boyes.
That's three examples of teams making moves the day after one of the teams involved plays Detroit – yeah, I'd say Detroit is helping teams learn some valuable lessons about themselves and where they stand against the most successful franchise over the past two decades.
Oh and St Louis has completely given up on this season – fine by me.

Two venues in the area have been placed on an approved list of team bases for the Rugby World Cup 2015.
Market Harborough Rugby Club and Leicester Grammar School have announced that they are on the list.
Tournament organising committee, England Rugby 2015 has confirmed that both venues meet the criteria to become a team base and they will now move to the next phase of a selection on the approved list, from which teams will select their bases for use in 2015.
The bid to host a team at Market Harborough Rugby Club was submitted jointly by Harborough District Council and the Rugby Club last year.
It was followed by an assessment visit from England Rugby 2015.
A Team Base must include an indoor and outdoor training facility, a gym, an indoor swimming pool and a hotel.
These facilities must meet international team training standards and be located in close proximity to one another. Match venue location has also been taken into account.
England Rugby requires up to 50 bases for use during the tournament. These will be confirmed mid-2014 following completion of team visits and selection.
Phil Jarvis, Market Harborough Rugby Club chairman, said: "We are naturally delighted to progress through to the next stage.
"It has been a great team effort from all our community partners and once again Rich Lainchbury has worked tirelessly on behalf of the club.
"Whilst we are excited about the news, we will have to wait and see if any of the competing nations choose our bid. We've got our fingers crossed."
The tournament commences in September 2015.
Cllr Blake Pain, leader of Harborough District Council, said: "We are delighted to reach the next stage and pleased that our facilities meet the criteria.
"To host an international team at Rugby World Cup would be fantastic for the district and the town.
"We are in the fortunate position of being within an hour from three of the match venues and a direct train ride from the London venues so are perfectly placed to host a team.
"The Harborough bid is a community bid, and if we are fortunate enough to be selected as a host we will welcome the team to the district and make it a home from home."
Bases on the approved list are not guaranteed to host teams; however they will be used to provide the competing nations with their Team Base options, many of which are currently undertaking visits of prospective bases.
Chris King, Leicester Grammar School headmaster, said: "We're delighted with the news that Leicester Grammar School has met the exacting requirements of Rugby World Cup 2015 organisers, England 2015, and have been chosen as a potential Team Base.
"We would be proud to host any of the nations who qualify for the finals next year and think that hosting an international rugby team would be an excellent endorsement of our facilities and the local area."
Debbie Jevans, England Rugby 2015 chief executive officer, said: "Since launching the Team Base selection process there has been strong support for the tournament right across England and Wales with over 80 applications made to host teams in 2015.
"I would like to thank all those who have applied and who have met with us in recent months; these visits have been integral to the process and have shown the great enthusiasm for Rugby World Cup 2015.
"We are fortunate to have such a great number of excellent facilities available to host the teams in 2015 and we are pleased to have a good range including rugby clubs, colleges, universities, schools and training centres on the approved list.
"Rugby is at the heart of all our planning and it is vital that in our role as the Organising Committee, we do all we can to ensure that we get the conditions absolutely right for the players to prepare for the premier event.
"We will continue to work with the team managers and look forward to confirming the final list of Team Bases by the middle of this year."

How does selling tickets on TickPick work?
Easy. By using our Listing Agent you will be walked through the steps needed to have your tickets listed for sale on TickPick as well as other marketplaces.
What information do I need to list my tickets?
You'll need to know what event your tickets are for and the exact seat location, including seat numbers. We will also ask you to disclose important information about your tickets, such as: if they are partial/limited view, seats in a wheelchair row, etc. You'll also be asked to provide a valid credit card or debit card to list your tickets.
Does it cost me anything to list tickets?
There's no cost to list your tickets for sale on TickPick. You can delete your listing(s) at any time as long as they have not sold yet. You will only be charged a small commission if your tickets sell.
What is the commission / what is the payout if my tickets sell?
When your tickets sell you will receive a 90% payout, thus equal to a 10% commission. For example, if you list your tickets for sale through Listing Agent for $100, you will receive a payout of $90, while the buyer pays $100 on TickPick.
What do I pay if my tickets sell on another marketplace via TickPick's listing agent?
We make sure that no matter where your tickets sell you will receive the same payout.
What do buyers pay?
On TickPick, buyers will pay only your listing price.
Can I list my tickets on TickPick and on other marketplaces at the same time?
Absolutely not. TickPick's Listing Agent is already doing this, so that would create problems and add potential risks to you selling your tickets twice. If you list tickets through Listing Agent and they sell, you are obligated to fulfill the order. If you are unable to fulfill the order you will be charged a replacement fee which can equal 200% or more of your listing price.
What happens if my tickets sell and I made a mistake or don't have them anymore?
We understand that mistakes happen, but buyers are not as understanding. When your tickets sell, you are obligated to provide those exact seats to the buyer. If you don't have those seats but you have other tickets to provide as replacements, it will be up to the buyer whether they will accept your replacement offer. If not, you will be charged a replacement fee equal to our cost to acquire suitable replacement tickets. The bottom line - Be responsible when listing tickets for sale, because you will be expected to fulfill the order.

Yes. When you are listing the tickets for sale, you will be asked if the tickets are currently in your possession. If they are not, you will be able to mark an "in-hand date" which will be advertised on your listing to potential buyers.
Can I upload my e-tickets and make them available for instant download?
Yes. As the final step of the listing process, you will be prompted to attach your e-tickets for the listing. If the tickets sell on TickPick those tickets will instantly be made available to the buyer.

SCOTT JAGOW: Life in Montreal is really about food. It's a city known for long lunches, late night dining and hip bistros. There's a new bistro that's getting a lot of attention right now. It's called Robin des Bois. That means Robin Hood. And yes, the restaurant feeds the rich and gives its profits to the poor. Here's Judith Ritter.
JUDITH RITTER: It's not easy to get a reservation at Montreal's hot new eatery Robin des Bois. Tonight this sleek bistro is packed. Even big name actors and directors are on a waiting list. Not just to dine but to work so money saved on wages can be donated to the poor.
CATHERINE PILON: Tonight is my first night and it's very special but I'm a little nervous.
Catherine Pilon usually directs music videos for Quebec's version of MTV. Clearly she's more comfortable giving orders than taking them.
CUSTOMER: I 'd like to know what you put in your boudin creole
PILON: Good question, for me it's my first time, oh my God! I'll be right back.
She hasn't a clue. But the diners celebrating a birthday are unfazed. They know the servers are volunteers and the profits go to local charities. They've also heard that the server, the one who might be spilling a glass of water on them, might even be a local media heartthrob.
PHILLIPE FERMIAUX: Patrice Crocaux was here, one of the most famous actors in Quebec and he was here serving on the tables and obviously people were just actually freaking out.
That's TV personality Phillipe Femiaux. His wife Judy Servay is the mastermind behind the Robin Hood concept.
The idea caught on with their glittery acquaintances and now there's a waiting list of 1,400 ready to work for free.
The chefs get paid but not what they're used to. But for chef Sebastien Courville, that's just fine.
SEBASTIEN COURVILLE: It touches me everyday because they give to the community. I really love it. It's really rich.
And while other restaurants struggle for financing, not this place. A local bank gave them $25,000 to start up and after just four months Robin des Bois is in the black. So, early in New Year the hotspot will turn over its first profits to a homeless shelter, a project for street kids, and a food bank.
In the meantime, show business folks are working hard to master a new profession.
PILON: Okay, one boudin creole . . . and something to drink?
Over at the birthday table the music video director turned server is getting a little smoothera€¦.
PILON: I'll be better by my third table.
Good Luck Catherine. Just don't quit your day job
In Montreal, I'm Judith Ritter for Marketplace.

Gamecock - An Introduction to this New Publisher
Gamasutra has an interesting and entertaining interview with the founders of new game publisher Gamecock; the publishers of recently revealed new RPG Hero. Here's a couple of brief excerpts:
This week, Gathering of Developers' former CEO Mike Wilson and ex-president Harry Miller announced the formation of a new independent game publisher named Gamecock Media Group, with seemingly similar goals - promoting the rights and interests of game developers making original IP.
Miller continued: "When we speak of new IP, traditionally the best stuff has come from independent developers, but it's incredibly difficult for an independent developer to convince a publisher to sign their new IP, since the commercial success of the game is unpredictable. The risk that the game will do well enough to meet the required margins of the publisher is really high."
"Those developers, who do get to the negotiating table, find that the agreement includes strings which require that the developer hand over their rights to the IP, and/or agree to sell the IP or the company for a predetermined price. These added assets help the publisher offset their risk with value (real or perceived) of the acquired IP," he added.
One more snippet I just can't resist:
One of the more interesting facets of the Gamecock unveiling was that rather than sticking with PC-centric offerings the company revealed that it had signed developers for projects across all platforms, including not only the PC, but next-gen consoles and handhelds as well.

Thanks Magerette for the heads-up.

Quantum computing offers solutions for a set of information networking and other related challenges that would otherwise be impractical to achieve with classical computers.
Several researchers at Bell Labs have served as pioneers in this field including Peter Shor (integer factorization and discrete logarithm / Shor's Algorithm) and Luv Grover (amplitude amplification / Grover's Algorithm.)
Today, Alexei Ashikhmin is collaborating with a number of university departments to increase the efficiency of quantum computing (e.g., Quantum Error Correction Codes, Fault-Tolerant Threshold, and Quantum Overhead).
Robert Willett and Gerardo Gamez are exploring the use of topological quantum computational qubits as the basis for a more robust quantum computing solution – specifically leveraging non-Abelian properties in semiconductor crystals grown via molecular beam epitaxy. They have been working on the design, fabrication and characterization of devices that harness the quantum coherence in these macroscopic quantum topological states.
"It is wonderful, interesting new physics … these two states, the unwound and the wound, provide the basis for topological quantum computation — that's the switch, that's the on-off switch."
— Bob Willett
In collaboration with researchers at Rice University and the Max Planck Institute, Gavin Scott is using nanoscale structures as tunable model systems for investigating emergent transport phenomena and highly correlated states that arise as a result of strong interactions between charge carriers.

Both the Utah Jazz and the Boston Celtics were 0-4 entering Wednesday's tilt, so something was going to give by the end of the night. Unfortunately for the Jazz, a late run was not enough to offset Boston's energetic run that spanned the second and third quarters. The Celtics registered a 97-87 win, keeping Utah winless this season.
The Jazz started out with tremendous energy and effort, sprinting out to a 16-3 lead early on. But an NBA game is not a sprint but a marathon. Boston did not flinch, finishing out the first quarter strongly and by midway through the third quarter, had gone on a dominating 60-22 run that gave Boston a 25-point cushion. Utah valiantly fought back, cutting the deficit to six points in the fourth. It was simply a matter of too little, too late, and the Celtics did just enough to seal the victory.
Point guard production: Trey Burke cannot return soon enough. The rookie point guard was one of the main reasons for Jazz fans' excitement, and his injury was a disappointing setback. Now the on-court production from the point guard position, or lack thereof, is increasing the anticipation for Burke's return. Veterans Jamaal Tinsley and John Lucas III are trying but have struggled.
The duo combined for just four points and four assists in 33 minutes versus Boston, while committing four turnovers. While Tinsley helped orchestrate the quick start, the offense stagnated severely during the middle quarters. When Utah made its comeback, neither of them were in the game as head coach Tyrone Corbin opted for a three-guard line-up of Gordon Hayward, Alec Burks and Ian Clark. The result was a motion offense where the ball moved quickly and crisply, getting the Jazz back in contention.
Boston veterans: While young like Utah, the Celtics also have some cagey veterans who proved integral toward their win. Guys like Brandon Bass, Jeff Green and Gerald Wallace made the difference for Boston. Bass' midrange game squelched the Jazz's run in the fourth as he repeatedly and calmly drained jumpers. He finished with 20 points. His frontcourt mate, Green, was big during the huge Boston swing, scoring his 18 points on an array of perimeter shooting and slashing to the hoop. Lastly, former All-Star Wallace was spry en route to a nine-point, nine-rebound outing.
Strong individual performances: There were some definite positives for Utah despite the loss. Hayward had his best performance of the season. He was decisive and aggressive on offense, connecting on 12 of 20 shots. The swingman finished with a game-high 28 points, along with nine rebounds and five assists.
Enes Kanter, the Jazz's leading scorer entering the game, had 22 points and eight rebounds. He started and finished the game well, scoring on some easy interior opportunities. Derrick Favors had 14 rebounds and three blocked shots but was not on the court for much of the fourth quarter.1 comment on this story
Finishing thoughts: Undrafted center Vitor Faverini not only made the Boston roster but became the surprising starter and has produced, averaging 9.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per outing. He showed his inexperience, though, against Utah's bigs. He went 0-4 during a difficult six-minute run to open the game. He did not return the rest of the night.
Utah's turnovers again factored heavily in its loss. The Jazz had 20 miscues.
The Jazz assisted five of their first six field goals but then just nine of their final 31 baskets.
