Meet "Bob."
He's a software developer in his mid-40s who works for a critical infrastructure company in the United States. Inoffensive and quiet, he's "someone you wouldn't look twice at in the elevator," according to the investigative team that finally brought him down.
But Bob did something you and I would only dream about. He hired a Chinese consulting firm for less than 20 percent of his six-figure salary to do his job. He still went to work, but he spent the day reading Reddit, browsing eBay, checking in on Facebook and LinkedIn—and watching cat videos.
His only real "work" was an end-of-day email to management.
And, according to investigators from Verizon's security team, this wasn't his only "job." "Evidence even suggested he had the same scam going across multiple companies in the area," Andrew Valentine, a senior investigator at Verizon wrote in a blog post this week.
Bob's total take? Several hundred thousand dollars, of which the Chinese consulting firm, located in Shenyang, China, got about $50,000.
According to performance reviews, Bob was repeatedly identified as "the best developer in the building." His code as "clean, well written, and submitted in a timely fashion."
Bob was caught in May 2012—at least six months after he started his game—because the IT department decided to audit the log generated by the company's VPN. Otherwise known as a "virtual private network," this is the software that companies frequently put in place to allow remote employees to securely log in.
The auditors immediately noticed a live connection to China. Even more alarming, from the point of view of the security team, the connection was being made in the name of an employee named "Bob" who was sitting at his desk at the same time the Chinese were logging into the network.
And the logs showed the same thing had happened everyday for the past six months.
You already know how this story ends—badly, at least for Bob.
Here's a question for readers: Is this
a) a glorious and creative response to America's overpaid and under-talented managerial class?
b) the misguided actions of a greedy, grasping individual who unwittingly put the nation at risk?
c) a extreme example of a well-compensated employee stealing from his or her employer by doing personal work on the company time?
d) an example of American decadence versus Chinese industriousness?
e) the most outstanding example of American chutzpah/gumption/ballsiness you've heard in a long time?

EFF speaks on the illegality of unlocking in the US and what it means for end users
As of just a few days ago, unlocking your iPhone, or any other wireless device for that matter, is no longer legal. The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) has stepped forward to clarify exactly what that means and who it ultimately will affect. As it turns out, it isn't necessarily the end user that would be violating the law.
According to a report by 9to5Mac, it's actually the unlockers themselves that will most likely be affected according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
More likely, wireless carriers, or even federal prosecutors, will be emboldened to sue not individuals, but rather businesses that unlock and resell phones.
Basically, wireless carriers and big business aren't going to go after the end user. If you purchased an unlock from a site on the internet and you're walking around with an illegally unlocked phone, the odds of you getting in trouble for that are almost invisible. The liability would mainly lie on the company that provided the unlock to you.
Carriers such as AT&T will unlock your iPhone for you once you've fulfilled the commitment term of your contract. This can be done by completing the full term or upgrading to a new iPhone or other device, which in turn would allow your older iPhone to be unlocked legally.
As for jailbreak, that's still legal under the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act).
The legal shield for jailbreaking and rooting your phone remains up – it'll protect us at least through 2015.
It's also worth noting that any device that was purchase before the new rule went into affect is still fair game. So if you've purchased an iPhone or other mobile device before that date, you're still legally entitled to unlock it, whether that's officially through your carrier or any other outlet.

EFF speaks on the illegality of unlocking in the US and what it means for end users
This is retarded, I bought my device and if I want to unlock it I have the right to unlock it, it is mine and only mine. It does not belong to the manufacturer, or the network I am currently on, it belongs to me. Once I purchase that device it is mine and no one can tell me how to or not to use it, as long as I am not harming anyone. I can do whatever I want to it, If i want to smash it, modify it physically, modify it on a software level, I can do that. Government regulations on stuff that doesn't matter is whats wrong with this country now a days, instead of regulating derivatives and the mega banks they want to regulate everything else.
I think you got a little too excited to jump the gun on this topic before you thought about what you wanted to convey. You could consider the purchase of ANY subsidized phone, which is tied to a two-year contract, as a loan of sorts. If you were to buy a car using a loan, the car may be your responsibility, however you do not get the title (aka the OWNERSHIP rights) until that loan is paid off. The same is true of your subsidized phone while under contract: you own it after two years (or whatever the contract term is), at which time, the phone is "officially" paid off.
It is a completely different story if you bought your smartphone, outright, at full price, thus eliminating the need for a two-year contract, and this ruling is irrelevant to you. And, as Allyson pointed out, as an end user, this means almost nothing to you anyway.

Gmail is probably one of the last Google services that adds a very simple feature: a contact picker. When you compose a message, you may want to see the list of contacts so you can select some of them. But this feature wasn't available in Gmail, although you could find it in Google Docs, Google Calendar and in almost any mail client and webmail service. Some people even wondered if you can send messages to more than one address: questions like "Why can't I load multiple contacts when I go to compose?" or "How do I compose using my address book?" were very popular in Gmail's help group.
"Auto-complete is convenient and fast, and usually does the trick. But sometimes seeing your list of contacts can help you remember all the people you want to include on your email," admits Google.
The wait is over and now you can finally use the contact picker in Gmail: just click on "To" when you compose a message, select the contacts and click "Done".
Some of the cool things you can do using the contact picker:
* select contacts from one of your groups: just use the drop-down to choose from "Friends", "Family", "Coworkers" and other groups.

Ruling has major implications for Oklahoma
OKLAHOMA- The Supreme Court Thursday in a landmark 5-4 vote upheld provisions of the Affordable Care Act, including the individual mandate. The decision means that the bulk of the act will go into effect in 2014 unless Congress acts to repeal all or portions of the act before then.
"This is one of the most important rulings involving health care in the past 10 years," said Karen Rieger, chair of the health care practice group at Oklahoma-based Crowe & Dunlevy law firm. "Now that we have the decision, it will be important for health care providers, employers and regulators to move forward quickly to assure timely implementation of the law."
The majority opinion of the court, delivered by Chief Justice John Roberts, upheld the individual mandate requiring nearly all Americans to carry health insurance or pay a penalty. In particular, the decision found that this provision is constitutional under Congress' power to tax, although the court also held that it was not within Congress' power under the commerce clause.
The court limited the act's provision expanding Medicaid eligibility, essentially making such expansion optional for states. Chief Justice Roberts noted that Congress may create state-federal spending programs, but the programs must be voluntarily and knowingly accepted by the states. Threatening states with the loss of their existing Medicaid funding if they decline to comply with the expansion, Roberts stated, violates the Constitution.
The act is anticipated to extend health insurance to approximately 30 million Americans who currently lack coverage. It also will guarantee the availability of insurance for those with pre-existing conditions and ensure those people do not pay more than healthy people.
Oklahoma Republicans have generally opposed the provisions of the act. The Oklahoma Legislature formed a Joint Committee on Federal Health Care Law to investigate the health care needs of Oklahomans. The committee formed a plan that was similar to the federal law, but was not aligned within. In 2012, Senate Bill 1629 was sent to the Senate committee but was tabled until the Supreme Court's ruling on the constitutionality of the act.
Now that the act has been upheld, Oklahoma will need to take steps to implement an Oklahoma Health Insurance Exchange before the commencement of the February regular legislative session in order to comply with the federal law. If the state is not able to comply with the federal law by Jan. 1, 2013, the federal government will impose its health insurance exchange on Oklahoma. Health insurance exchanges will provide internet-based "markets," where initially individuals and small employers can research health insurance options and purchase insurance coverage.
"Many in the industry have been in a holding pattern, waiting for the Supreme Court decision," Rieger said. "It is now time for all affected businesses and individuals to determine what steps they need to take to assure smooth implementation of the act."

Great Shorts
These shorts are GREAT...!Comfortable & durable. They arrive a bit stiff but become very comfortabe with age like jeans. I purchased a pair a couple of months ago and Had to buy another pair. You Won't be dissapointed.
Joey "V"
Alpine, CA
very Comfortable shorts
Very comfortable. When they arrive they are a bit stiff BUT that fades with wear.These are my Normal day to day shorts.True to size. Looking at buying "Many" more....
Joey "'V'
Alpine, Ca
High quality but.....
These are great shorts but the sizing is hit or miss. It seems each pair have a slightly different cut so some are fitted while others are loose!
University Heights, Ohio
nothing like they used to
I have a pair of the older version of these shorts, they are still the best shorts ever. Those old shors are still wearing well. So well in fact, that I ordered two more pair. But the new and improved version is nothing like the old version. The new material is nothing like the old cloth. And it is the old cloth that made those old shorts so comfortable. I will only buy these shorts again when they are made like the old shorts.
Skimpy and Wrong
My pair from 4 years ago is holding up fine. So I ordered 3 more pair last week; bad decision, what I received was one pair old inventory (fine fit) the other two pair must be the work of accountants' designing clothes, poor cloth, skimpy fit and questionable workmanship, BUMMER..
St Louis, MO
Sizing is wrong
I love my Taboose pants in fact I have 3 pr. So when I saw the shorts I placed an order for two pair but the sizing is not the same. Order a size larger than you think you need.
Minneapolis, MN
Great Fit and Great Quality
I received 2 pair of these shorts for my last birthday - and with the recent warm weather have finally had a chance to wear them. They have to be the best shorts I have ever owned. The fabric is great quality and they fit extremely well. I had never heard about Territory Ahead before, and look forward to finding more great items. Thanks!
New York, NY
I have recently order 3 shirts and the material and quality is over and above what I expected. Also a great fit and true to size.
new york
A well made garment
These are shorts that will last for a long period of time. A little thicker to the feel than the average ""shorts materials"" but gives a good since of a well made made garment. True to size.
Chicago, IL
nice enough for work (my work, anyway) but comfortable to wear for anything, anytime. i wouldn't mind buying 4 more, to fill out the week.
Portland, OR
Not what they used to be!
These Taboose Shorts USED to be Awesome. According to my Order History, I have purchased 30 pair (Yes...Thirty) of these shorts and absolutely Loved them.....Past Tense. Upon receiving my most recent order, I immediately noticed something different. You guys have obviously changed manufacturers of this product and they are just NOT The same. Different sizing, lack of comfort (feel almost like cardboard) and just not the Great Shorts I have been ordering since at least 2003. Please let me know if you return back to the original maker of these shorts and I will definitely buy many more......until then I am sorry, but I cannot recommend them to anyone.
North Carolina
Love these shorts
Taboose pants and shorts have become my most used pants. They are just right for me.

And of course, there's the popular representation of the famous Town Musicians from the fabled story by the Brother's Grimm. Culturally vibrant Bremen: The Bremen Theatre, the Shakespeare Company or the city's many museums, like the Bremen Art Museum that rates with the best-known foundation museums or the Weserburg – Museum of Modern Art, one of Germany's largest museums for contemporary art.

Accepting the Unacceptable
Over the last century or so, death has been becoming increasingly institutionalized and removed from immediate experience. It is no longer a common experience in concrete terms. Where people used to die at home in the past, this is no longer the case, and the usual gathering of relatives and family no longer takes place spontaneously. It is no longer a communal affair, but on the contrary, it is hidden from public view, resulting in less actual contact with death and dying. Perversely, the literature on death and dying has been growing considerably, and people are actually talking about it more and more, while handling the practical fact less and less. The irony of this situation is described by Ray Anderson, a Christian theologian, in his book Theology, Death, and Dying: More »

It Needs Saying
It should not need saying. After all, it's obvious. Nonetheless it does need saying. It needs saying because it has been denied by so many people including many who are eminent and even some whose own roles, behavior, and faith contradict what they are saying. It needs saying clearly, that Buddhism is a religion. More »

Theravada Buddhism's Muslim Problem
Buddhist and Muslim leaders meet to discuss peace initiatives at the Yogyakarta meeting in Indonesia, March 2015. Buddhist radicalism is on the rise in countries like Myanmar and Sri Lanka. Since 2012, both countries have witnessed severe violence against their Muslim minorities. Attacks take place in an atmosphere of strong anti-Muslim rhetoric put forward by certain monk-led nationalist groups, and the (largely unknown) orchestrators and perpetrators of these attacks operate with impunity.

Imperfect Refuge
Protest leader turned monk Suthep Thaugsuban prays at Pathum Wanaram temple in Bangkok, March 2014. Telegenic tanks rolled into Bangkok. Soldiers evacuated protest encampments. The coup, declared on May 22, 2014, put an end to the demonstrations that had embroiled Thailand for six months. During that period, Suthep Thaugsuban, the protest leader, became the country's most visible and controversial figure. Then, suddenly and inexplicably, he disappeared. In a ceremony devoid of pomp and circumstance, he quietly became a Buddhist monk. More »

The Buddhists Go to Washington
Buddhist leaders gather in the White House on May 14 for a meeting with government officials. Last Thursday 125 prominent Buddhist figures from a range of traditions gathered in Washington, DC, for the first meeting between White House and State Department officials and Buddhist faith groups. Teachers from the Sinhalese, Cambodian, Burmese, Bangladeshi, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Tibetan, Vietnamese, and Thai Buddhist lineages attended, as well as scholars, activists, and leaders of convert groups who do not affiliate with any one particular Asian school.

The Examined Life
I address you now not as your professor, but as Seido, Rinzai Zen monk, caretaker of Hokoku-An Zendo. The semester has come to an end. When I look out at you I see 30 people. When you look at me you see one. But for each one of you I am a different professor. There are 30 different versions of me standing before you in this classroom. It is my job to create a relationship of sorts with each and every one of you. I do that by reading your journals and your papers, by observing how you are in class, whether or not you come prepared, whether or not you take notes, how often you text, and how often you nod off. I'm like Santa Claus. I see you when you're sleeping and I know when you're awake; I know when you're taking notes and when you're checking your Facebook page. More »

What's Ethics Got to Do with It?
As mindfuness has made greater inroads into public life—from hospitals, to schools, to the workplace—its growing distance from Buddhist thought and practice has become a hotly contested issue. Is mindfulness somehow deficient because it lacks Buddhist ethics, and should Buddhist ethics be replicated in mindfulness programs and workshops? More »

How to Fail
If there is one skill that is not stressed very much, but is really needed, it is knowing how to fail. There is a Samuel Beckett quote that goes "Try again. Fail again. Fail better." That quote is what will help you more than anything else in the next year, the next ten years, the next twenty years, for as long as you live, until you drop dead. There is a lot of emphasis on succeeding. We all want to succeed, especially if we consider success to be things working out the way we want them to. Failing is what we don't usually get a lot of preparation for. So how to fail? More »

No Need for Words
Several weeks ago, in the middle of having his diaper changed, my son peered up at me and spoke his first two-syllable word: butter. My husband Kort still asleep in bed, I wondered whether the boy had uttered the brief sound or my imagination had merely conjured it. Standard early-morning mental fuzz could not account for this self-doubt; it sprang from a deep longing, ever since the day of my son's birth, for him to speak in familiar language. More »

Yuthok Lane
This is how it will be:we will take a walk on concrete, not blue tiles, and you will pretend to be disappointed.This will have the quality of a ritual. In the morning, the sun will fall from the sky;we will protect ourselves against its fire.It is not so unbearable, but we have learnt to be wary of arrivals from the east. We are unbeautiful here;our stay in the plains has rendered us so.But whispers now carry endearments,and we will not have it any other way. More »

Turning Intention into Motivation
Framing our days between intention setting and joyful dedication, even once a week, can change how we live. It's a purposeful approach of self-awareness, conscious intention, and focused effort—three precious gifts of contemplative practice—by which we take responsibility for our thoughts and actions and take charge of our selves and our lives. As the Buddha put it, "You are your own enemy / and you are your own savior. " More »

An Unholy Alliance
Thailand's military government, which seized control of the country in a coup last May, has taken a special interest in Thai Buddhism and the moral authority its institutions command. After settling into power and naming itself the National Council for Peace and Order, the junta immediately set off on a paternalistic mission to rid Thailand of corruption, immorality, and anything deemed "un-Thai" (like underboobs, for example). Since Buddhism makes up such an integral part of the agreed upon definition of "Thai-ness," junta leaders quickly set their sights on religious reform, installing a special panel to focus on the "protection of Buddhism" within their National Reform Council (NRC).

The Slow Burn
Bernie Flynn, a longtime student of Chögyam Trungpa, recently told me about the time he and the Rinpoche tried to quit smoking cigarettes. A few days in, he was driving the Rinpoche to a meeting. Antsy and in withdrawal, Bernie couldn't help but notice his teacher sitting calmly in the passenger seat. Finally, his nerves on edge, Bernie turned to Trungpa and asked how the whole quitting thing was going. "It's easy," said Trungpa. "Either you smoke, or you don't smoke." Ah, so simple. Later that evening, Bernie entered a room to find the Rinpoche gleefully chain smoking. Oh, not so simple. More »

A Raucous Silence
There's one on every meditation retreat: the roommate who crinkles potato chip wrappers all night, keeping you awake; the meditator on the next cushion who squirms nonstop; the know-it-all who flaunts his "enlightenment." If this sounds familiar, be prepared to laugh uproariously in recognition. If it doesn't—well, watch and learn. More »

EXCLUSIVE | King Mo on Loss: That MotherF***er had his back turned scared – Wants A Rematch | BJPENN.COM Radio MMA News | Mixed Martial Arts | UFC News | BJPenn | MMA Fight | UFC Fights
I didnt take nothing from it, man, Lawal said, worse shit happens. Its not like the dude thought, Alright, Im going to throw a one-two-three- spinning back fist. The mother****** had his back turned and was scared, so he threw that spinning back fist because he didnt know where the f*** I was at, and it landed. You know what Im saying, camp went good, trained hard for him, its not like he was setting that thing up the whole time, he just threw that s*** out the blue. S*** lands sometimes, you know what Im saying? If its a rematch, 99% of the time, Im going to win that fight. The dude knew it, he knew it, thats why he was so shocked when it landed. It is what it is, you know what Im saying, I aint take nothing from it. Im not going to change shit that I do. S*** happens, know what Im saying, so Im just going to be more aware of spinning s*** that I dont see, make sure I see it.
Only the second loss of King Mos MMA career, the light heavyweight fighter remains confident in his skills. He trains with top level mma fighters and boxers, but he insists that his training had nothing to do with the loss. The punch was, to put it bluntly, lucky.
Striking is striking, training is training, he said in response to questions about his preparation. Not many people throw spinning back fists in training because people get hurt from it. You dont see spinning back fists in Showtime because people get hurt from it, you dont throw it. In K-1, how many times do you see it? How many spinning back fists have you ever seen? How many people throw spinning back fists? Cung Le is one, Shonie Carter, and thats about it . [Emanuel Newton] wasnt outlanding me, I was outlanding him. He didnt test me with nothing really, I was testing him. He was switching and going backwards, we threw a combo, an exchange; he had his back turned to me, I thought he was running away, and he threw a spinning back fist. People want to make a bigger deal about it, thats the way it is, you know what Im saying? People win, people lose. In a rematch, that s*** wouldnt happen. If you watch the fight, the dude was like, well, I looked over my shoulder. Mother****** you didnt look over your damn shoulder, you threw that s*** out of fear. Because when you throw a spinning back fist, and you know youre going to throw it, youre going to throw like Shonie Carter did. Youre going to throw it like Cung Le throws it. They set that s*** up, they throw it, boom boom boom, they set it up. He just threw that s*** because he was scared and he had his back turned. It is what it is, you know what, good for him it landed. It landed, good for him. But thats a one-time thing. Its not going to land on nobody else.
When asked about a rematch with Newton, King Mo was more interested in winning the Bellator championship than any fight with a particular opponent. He said, Rematch is cool, but I was like, win the tournament. If he wins or loses, dont matter because I know Im going to see him eventually. The wrong will be righted, and then thats it Im still whooping his ass next time I see him in the cage, or I can just win the tournament, get the belt, then he has to work his way to me. Makes no difference to me.
For the time being, Lawal is busy training and waiting to hear what is next for his career in Bellator. I dont know, he said, right now Im just doing some pro wrestling training in the gym. Im waiting to hear back. Im training, Im back at the gym. Im training my boy, Roy Nelson, Roy Nelsons going to knock out Cheick Kongo. Training Ryan Martinez. Im at the Mayweather gym, like I always am every day. Strength training, Im doing everything man, Im training for the next tournament. When thats going to be, Im not sure yet. But when it happens, Ill be ready.
Such a high-caliber training camp comes with his move to Las Vegas, NV. This move meant a departure from American Kickboxing Academy. For Lawal, however, the move made sense on more than one level. I like working with Jeff Mayweather, he explained. I work with Dewey Cooper as well. My two coaches, my boys. And Master Roy Nelson, I work with him. You know, AKA was good, but you know man, living out there was way to expensive for me, you know what Im saying its expensive man. AKAs a great team too. Vegas was good, I just thought Ill go to Vegas for a little bit. My family was happy with the move, and I feel like it was the right move for me. So we switched some gears a little bit.
Focusing on his training and helping his teammates, the furthest thing from King Mos mind is what his detractors think of his last fight. To him, its like this: my biggest loss is better than their biggest win. Dog, its sports! You know, I train hard, I lose, I train harder, I train smarter to come back and win. Im not worried what people think, because those guys that are talking about me probably aint done s*** in their life; and if you were to look at them, at who they were, theyd be losers. Im not worried about people like that.

What: Blacktip, bonnethead, and bull sharks
Where: Four miles south of the Texas coast
How: Last month, a US Coast Guard ship from South Padre Island came across an illegal, five-mile long gillnet full of dead sharks 17 miles north of the US-Mexico border. Among the casualties were 225 blacktip, 109 bonnethead, and 11 bull sharks. No arrests were made since the boat that set the net was not found.
The Story: "Gill nets indiscriminately kill any fish or marine mammal it snares across miles of ocean, often leaving much of the catch spoiled by the time it is hauled in," said Coast Guard Commander Daniel Deptula. Because of their destructive impact on fish, turtles and marine mammals, gillnets have been banned in Texas state waters since 1981; however, the Coast Guard recovered 49 miles of them in 2012 and the numbers are on the rise. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department reports that incidents of pirate fishing with gillnets off the coast have doubled since 2011. "The seizures are far past any other year in my 16-year career," said Sgt. James Dunks said.
The Coast Guard reports that the illegal nets come from Mexican fisherman crossing into the US's Exclusive Economic Zone to fish because the Mexican fish stocks are so depleted. "Well you get too many people fishing for the same thing, they're not catching as much, so they're going to search new territory to try to find more fish," Dunks said. The growing fear is that pirate fishing by gillnets will cause our Gulf of Mexico fish stocks to resemble those of our neighbor to the south. The Coast Guard believes that the sharks were destined to be finned, a practice where only the fins are cut off the fish to be sold while the rest of the carcass is tossed back into the sea.
What We Can Do: A reliable system of seafood traceability would help consumers to avoid pirate fish and put pressure on fishermen and fishing companies worldwide to supply legal, sustainable seafood for US tables. Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated fishing (IUU) doesn't just happen in remote corners of the Pacific; it happens here at home and affects YOUR fish. For now, support local fishermen that are involved in positive fishing practices by doing your homework and asking questions about your favorite seafood.
UPDATE: In a separate incident, a Mexican fishing boat captain has just plead guilty to charges of failing to "heave to" after ramming a US Coast Guard ship that caught the boat fishing illegally in Texas waters; the captain performed the maneuvers in an effort to flee and escape prosecution.

MUSIC CITY BOWL Vanderbilt 38, N.C. State 24
NASHVILLE, Tenn. The Southeastern Conference is so strong that even Vanderbilt is winning like the Commodores havent in nearly a century.
Coach James Franklin says everyone better get used to it.
Jordan Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score as the Commodores capped their best season since 1915 by defeating North Carolina State 38-24 in the Music City Bowl on Monday.
Were not going anywhere, a smiling and teary Franklin said.
The Commodores finished 9-4 for their best record since going 9-1 in 1915, and its only the third time the smallest and only private university in the SEC has won as many as nine games in a season.
Vandy closed the season with seven straight wins for its longest streak since an eight-game run in 1948, and its 15 wins over the past two seasons is the programs best total since 1926 and 1927.
When youre throwing out dates like 1915, you know thats a very, very, very long time, Franklin said.
Vanderbilt forced a season-high five turnovers, including four in the first half, and turned those into 17 points.
Interim coach Dana Bible ran N.C. State (7-6) after Tom OBrien was fired at the end of the regular season. It was the Wolfpacks fifth game of the season with at least four turnovers, and it helped wipe out a 424-225 advantage in total offense.
LIBERTY BOWL Tulsa 31, Iowa State 17
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Trey Watts rushed for 149 yards, Alex Singleton ran for three scores and Tulsa beat Iowa State (6-7) in the Liberty Bowl, avenging a season-opening loss to the Cyclones.
Iowa State rallied to beat Tulsa 38-23 on Sept. 1, but the Golden Hurricane put together the comeback in the rematch. Tulsa trailed 17-7 at the end of the first quarter.
The Golden Hurricane (11-3) scored two touchdowns in the first four minutes of the second quarter to pull ahead for good.

Data gaps hamper elderly-abuse review in Vt.By DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | January 26,2013MONTPELIER Vermont has made big progress in clearing up a backlog of investigations into reports of abuse, neglect and financial exploitation of the elderly and other vulnerable adults, according to both critics and defenders of the states Adult Protective Services system.
But theres concern among some lawmakers and advocates that the division of the Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living may be clearing the backlog, in part, by being too selective in taking new cases.
And the departments commissioner acknowledged in an interview and in testimony to the House Human Services Committee that there are big gaps in the data used by lawmakers trying to measure the divisions performance.
The House Human Services Committee heard testimony Thursday that APS failed to intervene in a Bennington County case of an 89-year-old woman whose daughter was threatening to kill her.
Sandy Conrad, executive director of the Southwestern Vermont Area Agency on Aging, said repeated calls from her office to APS beginning at 1:13 p.m. on a Friday in November drew no response until the following Monday. After a cursory review, APS sent a letter to Conrads agency saying, The available evidence indicated that abuse, neglect or exploitation did not occur, she told the committee.
Despite appeals to more senior APS staff, theres been nothing to date that changes this decision, Conrad said. And that perpetrator still lives in that household and is still a threat to that situation.
The daughter wanted her mother to go to a nursing home, to get her out of the way because she wanted her partners mother to be able to come down and live with them, Conrad added.
Conrads organization is one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed against the state 13 months ago alleging that cases of abuse, neglect and exploitation of elderly and disabled Vermonters were being allowed to languish for months before being investigated by APS.
She and Vermont Legal Aid lawyer Barbara Prine said the state had hired more investigators, created a financial fraud unit in the division and taken other steps to clear up the backlog.
But they said the division rejects far too many cases that should be investigated.
We feel like more and more calls are being screened out, even though weve got the investigators, Conrad said.
One result, she added, is that theres not a backlog and its all looking way better.
Prine said Vermont has one of the lowest rates in the country of cases being substantiated found credible by state investigators. Depending on how the rate is counted, Its either 7 percent or 14 percent, when the national average is 44 percent, Prine said. Theres no reason to believe that in Vermont we are abusing people at one-quarter the national average.
Susan Wehry, commissioner of the department that includes APS, told the committee that the division had made great strides in 2012.
Many in the community will agree that our investigators are not only doing a bang-up job of investigation but also in building the kinds of networks and communication, participation and local coalitions around elder justice to really improve the whole network of adult protective services, she said.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...
