The hackers who broke into merchant processor Global Payments Inc.'s computer systems added a new chapter to the disreputable history of data breaches by gaining access to information from applicants for merchant accounts, the company disclosed late Tuesday.
Global's revelation apparently is the first publicly known incidence of merchant-applicant information being affected by a data breach. Earlier compromises, even Global's when the company disclosed its breach March 30 and held a conference call April 2, involved only card numbers or related data from card users.
"We have recently learned of potential unauthorized access to servers containing personal information from a subset of merchant applicants," Global chairman and chief executive Paul R. Garcia said in a conference call with analysts. "It is unclear whether the criminals ever even looked at this information, much less took it from our system."
Nevertheless, Global is notifying "certain individuals" in the subset of U.S. account applicants Garcia referred to that information they provided might be at risk of falling into the wrong hands. Global is providing affected applicants with free credit-report monitoring and $1 million in identity-protection insurance. Garcia would not give details about the specific types of data at risk, but applications for payment card acceptance typically are lengthier and ask for more financial information than the forms consumers fill out to get a credit card.
The potential compromise of merchant-applicant data became known only lately in a probe that involves government as well as private-sector investigators, and that's why Global didn't report it until now, according to Garcia. "We did not know of the potential access to personal information at the time of our April announcement or we would have announced it then," he said, adding that Global believes "this incident is contained" and that applicants' data are now safe from unauthorized eyes.
Atlanta-based Global gets its transaction volume from merchants signed by independent sales organizations as well as others signed by its own direct sales force. The company didn't break out from which sources the potentially compromised merchant applications came.
Global, meanwhile, is sticking with its earlier statement that 1.5 million card numbers at most were potentially stolen. The information came only from Track 2 on the cards' magnetic stripes, which means hackers did not get names and Social Security numbers, according to Garcia. But to help card networks and issuers thwart fraud, Garcia said Global is providing them with a larger amount of card numbers to monitor just in case, numbers processed on the affected systems going back a little more than a year before the company discovered the breach. Asked by an analyst about fraud that may have occurred on compromised cards, Garcia said so far he has only "anecdotal" information but no hard numbers.
Garcia also said Global is working with the card networks to be restored to their lists of processors compliant with the Payment Card Industry data-security standard (PCI), though he wouldn't say when Global would get new report on compliance, or RoC, that would clear the way for its restoration as a processor in good standing. Global has already made improvements to its hardware, software and other systems to boost security and has hired a new qualified security assessor (QSA) to determine if it meets the PCI rules, Garcia said.
Nor would Global say how big the financial hit from the breach would be. In addition to its own costs for boosting security, Global is likely to get bills from Visa Inc. and MasterCard Inc. for expenses their card issuers incur to reissue cards and mitigate any fraud attributable to the breach. Global almost certainly will face fines from the networks, too. Garcia expects to have something to say about expenses when the company reports its earnings July 26 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, which ended May 31.
Garcia said Global's customers have been "unbelievably supportive" since the breach was announced and that even competitors have been supportive and haven't tried to poach its merchants. He did say the company offered several large prospective customers the option of holding off on signing contracts with Global until the new RoC is done, and one took Global up on that offer.

When a performer creates a character, the line between self and invention blurs. A question many Hugh Hughes fans ask is how far the lovable, emerging Welsh artist is an extension of his creator Shon Dale Jones's personality and circumstance.
"Hugh Hughes is an extremely enthusiastic and optimistic, curious character," explains Jones, his Welsh accent coming over as thick as Hughes's as we discuss the latest instalment of his journey from Langefni around the world and back since 2004.
"That is taking a slice of who I am then throwing loads of fuel on the bonfire.
"Especially the way he sees the world – he is always looking to find the positive and improvement and betterment, so it's clear what he is, then it becomes clear how there is part of all of us who see the world like that."
So convincingly has Jones inhabited Hughes's skin that many fans did not know that Hughes was even an artistic creation.
Jones says a quote by the great surreal artist Luis Buñuel makes what could be a very complicated point very simple: "Fantasy and reality are equally personal, and equally felt, so their confusion is a matter of only relative importance."
"There is no difference between reality and imagination," explains Jones, "and as a writer, I am kind of suggesting there is a zone in the middle between our reality and our imagination which make the two things work.
"I'm trying to navigate between the two. That runs through the project because Hugh is appearing to some audiences as a real person, whereas others know he isn't but still say, 'OK, I can accept that he isn't real, but are they his brother and sister? How can he have them if he is not real?'
"People still want to ask that question. That to me shows we can't separate the image from reality."
Jones is the artistic director of Hoipolloi Theatre, which produces Hugh Hughes's warm, comic shows. His company makes a point of conducting its work so fully that the childlike world-view of Hughes becomes completely immersive.
After a trilogy of well-received and award-winning shows, which all played at Edinburgh and also had a sell-out run at Sydney's Opera House, Hoipolloi's artistic focus now moves to helping Hughes, plus brother Derwyn and sister Delyth, explore his childhood, his family and his origins.
It follows Floating, which saw Hughes imagine that the Isle Of Anglesey had broken free from Wales to raise questions about the idea of home; Story Of A Rabbit, which raised questions about the death of his father via the death of a rabbit, and 360, which tackled issues about friendship.
Stories From An Invisible Town also advances the company's techniques by combining a live show with a new online space, invisibletownstories.co.uk.
Work started on the show five years ago and Jones says Hoipolloi have been chipping away in the background making a huge back catalogue of material ever since. Even now, with the show on the road, the company continues to add more to the online world, which allows visitors to explore Hughes through family stories told through short film clips, radio snippets, photos, animations, maps of the house and poems.
"The truth is the website and the show both exist as self-contained entities. The process of making the website was to leave no stone unturned. It made a real difference to what might be considered significant or insignificant and all the choices you make about what to tell and what not to tell.
"Though the website didn't have to consider those questions, it did mean we had a huge amount of material out of which we could try to shape some kind of narrative for the show."
In the live show, Hughes returns home to help his mother pack up and move house. The memories soon unravel.
"However well we know or do not know a mother, we all have one," says Jones. "And we had to decide what the priorities are for the character of Hugh looking at his family.
"Those priorities are that he needs to bring the family back together because they have been in conflict.
"And that they need to care for their mother. There is something going on around the importance of the mother's role within the family unit."
The big challenges in life come with change, when one's perspective is shifted. Love can make one suddenly see the world as a beautiful place. Grief can suddenly make everything feel difficult – even making a cup of tea (something Hughes loves to do). Having to return home as an adult to care for a mother is another big theme which Hughes's perspective is suited to consider.
"We know that these states of emotion absolutely alter the way we see the world. As a company we try to tune in to those fundamental feelings."
Jones believes the imagination is triggered by emotion. Hughes's beauty is that he manages to touch profound emotions by stating the obvious.
"It's quite extraordinary, he can say the obvious, but by stating the obvious he uncovers some very deep truths and feelings.
"That's what we have been doing from the start – really looking at things which are intensely personal and specific and also incredibly shared and unspecific from the obvious – birth, love, death, to these things such as home and leaving."

on. SRM software will help you gather the data, identify it and get a report detailed enough to take action. However SRM software only reveals the information but doesn't take any automated action like deleting or moving files, so you need to either write some scripts or make it a manual task. If you want to have your older files stored away to a place other than online storage (special drives, tape libraries etc.) using defined criteria like "not accessed within the last 30 days" you can implement an HSM system that can do the job. Most SRM software lets you query its repository from external processes, so scripting is possible.
The only SRM solution capable of automating this policy and task I am aware of to date is QiNetix from CommVault Systems. This system is capable of defining policies based on attributes of any file within the overseen realm and archive them according to the parameters defined (age, access, size, directory).

At yoga yesterday I was able to get into a Bird of Paradise pose for the first time.
Even though I hardly resembled this woman (my upper leg was not straight and I was not vertical), I am still pleased because I got into my first balancing bind.
It's taken a year and a half of practice. I am learning to surrender and be gentle with myself. But Gawwd, is it slow.
Onto matters of the mind and memory. Apparently I have kept a lid on my lid and not one of you read my mind for this round of trivia. No one got it on the first clue.
So I get to put out another, which I'll do each day until someone guesses correctly, about this object from the 1970s. One guess per person per day and no googling.
Don't forget to add this bling to your blog when you play. You can either copy the image and link to this hyperlink, or get the code here.
If you win, you get upgraded from Player bling to Winner bling. Yippee! You'll join a club with other Smart Chicks like Mel, M, Niobe and Millie (I don't think your name has to start with an 'M' or an 'N' to win, but I'm not sure).
What we know so far is that it's an object. It is not a slushy, Fun Dip, gum, a store, a gumball machine or Bazooka Joe. Ready for the next clue?
Clue #1: convenience store
Clue #2: monthly
Have you clicked on All Thumbs Reviews recently? In the past week, Chicklet tells her Fave Five running items; I tell you about the supermarket where everybody knows my name; I highly recommend a novel that kept me up late, and I explain why we tend to speak glowingly about the items we review.

Stars kept the inauguration parties going and BET helped by throwing its very own Inaugural Ball at the Smithsonian American Art Museum & National Portrait Gallery. The ladies and gents slipped into their finest for the occasion to celebrate President Barack Obama's second term.
Let's see how the night's looks measured up!
Gabrielle Union looked like royalty at the ball in a purple asymmetric neckline gown. Hot!
Kenya Moore was definitely "gone with the wind fabulous" in a white strapless gown. One of my favorite looks of the night!
Tyson Beckford has been going bold of late hasn't he? He wore a black and silver printed tuxedo jacket, white ruffle shirt, and a red pocket square.
Red lips gave a pop of color to Rocsi Diaz's muted lace gown.
Boris Kodjoe was the best-dressed man of the night in a simple black and white tux. I mean seriously: why is he so handsome?
His wife, Nicole Ari Parker, opted for luscious curls and BCBGMAXAZRIA's Anna Gown.
All-black was the move for Tatyana Ali in a cap-sleeve number with a plunging v-neckline. A little drab no?
Hosea Sanchez's tailoring was on point, but I'm a little confused as to why he didn't just throw on a matching ensemble and make it easy for himself!
I think AJ Calloway needs to get in touch with Hosea's tailor…his suit was great, but needed a bit of fixing.
Shaun Robinson opted for a one-shoulder black and gold gown for the night.
Kenny Lattimore showed the guys how it was done in black and white.
Pinstripes and not so flattering colorblocking rounded out Jermaine Dupri's look. It's nice to see him out and about, but I'm not sure what's going on with all of these conflicting hues!
Of course BET Networks Chairman and CEO Debra Lee wouldn't miss the party! She was on-trend in a burgundy velvet gown.
Bridget Kelly mixed textures at the ball in black and olive. I would have loved to see her opt for a more glamorous look: this is a little too casual for the occasion.
Wilmer Valderrama looked a little stoic, but I think his suit was just fine!
A one-shoulder draped dress and black patent ankle-strap pumps were spotted on MC Lyte who looked great! I loved her red lips which uplifted her simple, yet polished ensemble.
Last, but not least was the graceful Mikki Taylor who was the lady in red in a strapless fan bodice gown. I live for her elegance and other worldly beauty knowledge!
That's all folks! Any looks from the night catch your eye?

I will say that this was my 2nd fav of the Epione products I got. $90 is not all that crazy if a product really works. I'd rather buy one product that works for $90 instead of 9 for 10 that I will never use because they don't work.

BSOD - While Turning on WiFi - athr.sys
Dear Sir/Madam.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 X86bit on my HP Pavilion DV5 1235EE laptop.
Today i tried to turn on/Enable my Wireless on my laptop. It's a touch button on my HP DV5 1235EE laptop which turns to 'Blue' when enabled and 'organge' when disabled. This button is used to enable both my WiFi and Bluetooth.
My Wireless driver being - Qualcomm Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter
I got a BSOD when i tried to on this, and it's unusuable. The only way to prevent the BSOD is to keep it turned off. This way i'm unable to use both my Bluetooth and Wifi on my laptop.
I got this later on restart (i turned off my wifi this time to prevent BSOD) :
Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BlueScreen OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional information about the problem: BCCode: 1000007e BCP1: C0000005 BCP2: 941061A8 BCP3: 8D907ACC BCP4: 8D9076B0 OS Version: 6_1_7601 Service Pack: 1_0 Product: 256_1 Files that help describe the problem: C:\Windows\Minidump\090512-50747-01.dmp C:\Users\DaReaper\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-74958-0.sysdata.xml

As you seem to already know the problem is the driver for your atheros wifi device.
These drivers sadly can be a major pain to dig up.

Thank you for the quick response.
I too worry it's a driver issue, cause i have a feeling that earlier windows might have shown an update for this driver and I might have installed it, issue might have started from then.
By the way, can you let me know if you've gone through the BSOD crash dump diagnostics for this BSOD? Does it show any software or application causing this issue?
Also Will I be able to install the Old Driver from the official Product website of HP - Atheros Wireless LAN Driver HP Pavilion dv5-1235ee Entertainment Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
I worry that if i install it there might be a chance that it might corrupt something, but i don't know. Kindly guide me.

Thanks a lot , i think i solved this issue.
What I did was - I went to device manager - Right clicked on the Atheros Driver properties and rolled back to the previously installed version of the driver. I just restarted my PC and the driver detects and works. There's no BSOD this time
I hope it stays this way. Thank you for spending your precious time with me in solving this.

installing one driver over another in windows 7 shouldn't cause any problems.
Though the problem you already have may persist.
I can't run through the debug info right now I'm not on the right computer for it.
Atheros drivers are a fairly common problem though so I'm fairly sure the debugger data would back up what you already know.
edit : glad to know a simple rollback worked usually you have to go tracking down another driver. If you stop back by please mark this thread solved at the top would you.

I would like disable/uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" on my wireless card. The problem is that it lets me uncheck it, but after rebooting it comes back again. I have seen posts about this using google, but none of them have been answered. Does anyone know...

Turning off monitor disables USB wifi
I have a desktop PC running W7x64 for which I rely on my Alfa AWUS036H wireless USB adapter for an internet connection. W7 has a feature that seems to detect whether I turn off my monitor or not (for one reason, I know this because it makes a noise when I turn it on or off). When I turn my...

Evoking a nostalgic holiday seascape – and then abstracting this notion in turn – Thomas Scheibitz's print 'Family by the Sea Ι' seems to comfort and contradict in equal measures. Painterly brushstrokes lap gently against sharp geometric forms, exemplifying Scheibitz's inimitable approach to the composition and deconstruction of an image. With its blend of expressive gesture and calculated fragmentation, Scheibitz manages to make unrecognisable forms recognisable – and vice versa – exploring a dynamic range of form, texture and palette.
'Family by the Sea Ι' is a large silkscreen print produced with 27 colours plus a localised glaze, printed on 410gsm Somerset tub-sized paper using oil-based inks.
Thomas Scheibitz was born in 1968 in Radeberg, Germany, and studied alongside Frank Nitsche and Eberhard Havekost at Hochschule für Bildende Künste (HBK) in Dresden. Developing his skills within the influential Dresden painting tradition, he uses symbols of contemporary culture to create canvases that exist between abstraction and figuration.
In 2005, the artist collaborated with Tino Seghal to create the German pavilion at the 51st Venice Biennale. Recent group shows include Construction New Berlin, Phoenix Art Museum, USA, 2006; Radar: Selections from the Logan Collection, Denver Art Museum, USA, 2006; The Artist's Dining Room Level 2 Gallery, Tate Modern, London, UK, 2007; Less is more - more could be Less, Kerlin Gallery, Dublin, Ireland, 2007 and Zuordnungsprobleme, Johann König, Berlin, 2008. Scheibitz has also shown widely with solo exhibitions: Brot & Spiele, Tanya Bonakdar Gallery New York, USA, 2004; Casa Amalia Index, Gallerie Sprüth Magers, Cologne, Germany, 2006; Low Sweetie # Omega Haus, Produzentengalerie Hamburg, Germany, 2006 and about 90 elements/ TOD IM DSCHUNGEL, Camden Arts Centre, London, UK and Musée d' Art Moderne Luxembourg, Luxembourg, 2008.
The artist lives and works in Berlin.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Is the joint pain alternating between your joints or is it fixed to one joint.
Which joint(s) is \ are affected?
I believe that you need to get a Urinalysis done for crystals and urine precipitates. Moreover, a culture and sensitivity is needed from your urine.
It sounds like you are having a urinary tract infection (UTI) -the "smelly urine",, causing bacteremia (bacteria in the blood) and that is what is causing the fever and the chills.
As the joint pain it may be a gonococcal urethritis that is causing the joint pain and the UTI...
Gonococci need specific antibiotics and not usually eradicated by conventional antibiotics.
As far as my knowledge : burning smelly urine = UTI
: Fever and Night Sweats = Bacteremia
The joint pains are propably due to deposited crystals or due to Gonococcal infection, or it may simply be assosiated joint pain due to any other reason.
Did the smelly urine and the joint pain occur exactly at the same time...
Have there been any abscesses anywhere in your body...?
No problem at all... Take all the time you need.
I am concerned that you are in pain and am sorry for that.
Well it seems to me that your breast abscess (boil) can be the cause of the fever and chills (bacteremia).
But i have some questions that i want you to answer at your convenience and i shall read them and get to you later.
1) When were you absolutely free and not having any complaints?
2) What started first and how did it start? (please mind the chronological order of the complaints)
3) Was it associated with any activity or anything at all?
4) In a scale from 0-10 describe both the joint pain and the bladder pain you feel after urinating...
5) What relieves this pain and what aggrevates it (for both of them)?
6) Are there any other medical issues at all?
7) Are you taking treatment for anything?
8) Are you diabetic, hypertensive or diagnosed with any disease?
9) Is this the first time you experience such a complaint?
10 ) What are the investigations that you underwent in the hospital?
Thank you for your time and I hope I can reach to deliver you some useful information.
Yes, I am still trying to figure out things. I am doing my readings and hopefully will get to you.
Thank you for your patience.
The best I have reached is that the abscess you had in your breast is acting as a septic focus showering bacteria into the blood stream that is causing you the fever and chills.
As for the joints pain I believe that it is due to a fibromyalgia exacerbation.
You may need to consult your doctor about having both Micardis and Plaquenil for the former may alter the effects of some drugs.
As for Plaquenil, being a HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE you will need to do an Ophthalmologic check up (usually with an Electro Retino Gram ERG) done.
I very much understand your position and that you are the caregiver of a whole family. It must be very difficult keeping on with all these responsibilities. But I have the hope things will turn to be better.
Honestly, I have searched the medical websites, checked through my books to help find a clear explanation but was not able till this moment. I will not give up though. Neither should you! For "every disease has a cure" and I will keep searching for the diagnosis behind your condition.
May you give me more details about your joint pain?
What is the distribution of the joints affected? (your vertebral colunm or the ankles, knees, elbows and shoulders?) (the small - finger joints- /big -knee or elbow- joints)
Are you having a red or painful eye?
I am questioning a diagnosis of Reiter's disease here.
I am sorry to hear this.
Please seek a medical advise for I believe you are having Reiter's disease.
Reiter's disease (or syndrome) is composed of:
-Urethritis: inflammation of the urethra (the passage through which the bladder empties)
-Conjunctivitis: inflammation of the outer transparent (white) coat of the eye [that might be the explaination to what you are saying "my eyes are always like i have an allergy to something"]
-Arthritis: which is inflammation of the joints.[[However, Reiters only causes inflammation of one or a few joints, the extensive involvement of the joints in your case may be due to the fibromyalgia or other rheumatic disease]].
Moreover, Reiter can cause something called "Plantar Fasciitis" which is inflammation of the plantar fascia a tissue present in the sole of our feet. This may explain what you are saying "Bottom of my feet burning".
I believe this is the case then that we are facing here, and I do recommend a visit to your doctor. It is an indication for you to start regaining your health.
I have tried very hard to be helpful. I wish you get better soon. And hopefully you will, for I see a strong person inside you who will not just give in.
Best wishes.
Please keep me updated with what your doctor says or concludes.


text: Hey all, Whenever I'm doing a hard run, the car always holds back right after the shift into 2nd gear. The engine management light flashes and the revs seem to climb extremely slowly despite the pedal being to the metal! Is this normal on the S3? It doesn't happen if you build revs rather than plant the right foot. I've scanned it with VCDS and it shows no faults. I logged RPM, mass airflow, boost and N75 duty (excel spreadsheet here) during a run but don't really know what to look for. I originally figured it was a misfire due to bad coil packs, but shouldn't that kick out a fault code?

Sunday, August 2: Hunter Smith, Greatest (Holder) Of All Time?Posted by on August 2, 2009 – 7:22 am
The kicking competition got off to its official start yesterday, as Shaun Suisham and Dave Rayner attempted field goals for the first time this training camp. Neither of them missed. This may have been because there was no rush, no pressure, and no one else at all on the field.
Or it may be a harbinger of what the kicking game is going to look like this season, no matter which guy wins.
Here's special teams coach Danny Smith after practice yesterday, explaining what might be the biggest difference in the kicking game this year: new holder Hunter "The Punter" Smith.
"We talk in terms of [Colts kickers] Adam Vinatieri and Mike Vanderjagt, guys in the top two in the history of the league in terms of field goal percentage. Who was the holder? There's something to be said for that. He may be the best holder in the history of the game." The assembled media laughed; Smith is a gifted raconteur, and people naturally assumed that this was some kind of a joke. Smith pressed on, insistent. "I mean, that might be true. You could have that argument!"
It was something that had been brought to my attention a couple of days ago, and the numbers can certainly be read to support the assertion. Vinatieri has been largely consistent through holder changes, but when Vanderjagt changed teams (and therefore holders), his accuracy nosedived. And Suisham's numbers definitely dipped last year when Ryan Plackemeier took over the holding duties.
So I started asking around about Hunter Smith.
"He's the most accurate holder in North America," Suisham said. "Well, I can't say North America. There could be a crafty Canadian somewhere out there. But you know."
Rayner hedged a little more, but essentially stayed on the same page. "I don't know about 'accurate holder,' but he's a good holder. It's consistent. It's very smooth, he's got good hands, and it's a repetitive thing every time."
I asked Rayner if the holder could really affect things that much, and he shrugged as if the answer was obvious. "Without him being that good of a holder, Mike [Vanderjagt] doesn't set that record, obviously. I don't know how you quantify that, but I guess he was a big part of that success with the Colts for so many years."
So I followed up with Smith himself, and I started by asking about the basic assertion: is he the most accurate holder in the NFL?
"There's no question," he said. "Mike Vanderjagt is the most accurate kicker in NFL history, Adam Vinatieri is one of the most accurate and the most clutch, so I would argue that I'm one of the most clutch and accurate holders in NFL history." He stopped for a second, grinned. "And our kicker here — whoever that turns out to be –is going to keep that going."
So what makes a hold "clutch" or "accurate"? Smith seemed happy to be asked. "A good hold makes as smooth of a transition for the kicker as possible. I catch the ball, get it down quickly with the laces out and it's a matter of, wherever the snap is, I give him the same product every time and that only comes from just work."
In the end, it comes down to the kicker, of course. "It's the kicker's job is to kick the ball well, I see it as, if I give him the same thing every time, it's all on him. And that's pretty much what I do, I focus on never doing something different, always doing the same thing."
Long snapper Ethan Albright told me something very similar last season about his legendary consistency — the holders actually work with the Jugs machine to practice with bad and unusual snaps precisely because Albright is so consistent –which means that two of the three major moving parts in the field goal team are among the most reliable at their position. Whatever else happens with the kicking competition from here on out, it's going to be all about what the kickers do, not those other two.

Uyghur Flavors at Chinese Halal Cuisine
Photo by Robb Walsh
Cumin lamb is my favorite lunch special at Chinese Halal Cuisine on Bellaire, the subject of this week's Café Review. The pungent aroma of this spicy lamb dish might remind you of Tex-Mex, since cumin, chiles and garlic are major components in Chinese Muslim Uyghur cooking.
China's Xinjiang Province in the westernmost part of China, is where many Uyghurs live. It borders Afghanistan, along with several other predominantly Muslim countries, and Chinese Halal cooking has become very popular throughout the region. It's also the inspiration for Indo-Chinese cooking at such Houston Desi restaurants as Masala Wok, Halal Wok and others.

Affiliate Group of the Week #16: Secular Student Alliance at University of California Irvine
March 28, 2013This week's group is the SSA @ UCI (formerly AAR), another southern California gem of a student organization. Ian Merion, the group's vice president, answered a few of our questions for our Affiliate Group of the Week series. Thanks, Ian!
First, please introduce yourself. Where you go to school, graduation year, your background. What's your "atheist/secular conversion story," if you have one?
Hi, my name is Ian Merion. I go to UC Irvine and I should be graduating in 2015 if all goes according to plan. I spent my first two years as a psychology major but changed it to computer science at the start of my third year. I don't really have a conversion story. I was raised to believe whatever I wanted and decided I was an atheist towards the end of high school.
What is your group's name? How did you decide on that name?
SSA@UCI. We figured that the name would bring wide recognition to the club.
How did your group get started? What year was it founded? Was there a specific event or incident that motivated you to create the organization? (One of the club's founders, Anthony Marsh, chimed in to answer this question!)
The club was founded in the school year of 2006-2007. I think it was officially registered in the spring quarter of 2007, although I'm not sure. The reason I mention it with such specificity is, besides the fact you asked, I fear that the cloud of hindsight may have obscured some of my original thoughts surrounding the formation of the club.
Anyway, as Ian alludes to in his responses, there are a lot of religious organizations at UCI, and there are a lot of religious people in Orange County. And we're not talking about the kumbaya squishies, either, but the hardcore Republican evangelical kind.
This period was around the time when Richard Dawkins and the other "four horsemen" were beginning to gain notoriety, and they left a huge impression on me. As the idea of atheism was beginning to gain public attention, I wanted to take ownership of the name "Atheist" and change it from a negative label to a positive one. I thought being open about who I was, and possibly finding like-minded people to do the same, was a major step in that direction. Additionally, I wanted to create a safe space where atheists could meet and speak frankly and openly about their worldview without fear of retribution and without worrying about offending everyone. Finally, I wanted to create a platform to engage in political advocacy, advancing science and secular causes.
A key consideration to the club was the name. The previous freethinker club at school was named the "Students for Science and Skepticism." I didn't want to white-wash the name of our club. I wanted to put front and center what we were and who we stood for. So, my co-founders and I settled on Atheists, Agnostics, and Rationalists (the latter being a catch-all for anyone who values rationality). We put atheists first because we didn't want to hide it.
We filed the paperwork, rented a room, and hoped for the best. We imagined 3 or 4 people would show up. About 8 did. We had a solid discussion, and had weekly meetings. We flyered the entire campus (our original flyers, designed by my incomparable cofounder Willa Chen, are still a tremendous point of pride for me). Our meetings were better and better attended every week, and we had an incredible group of regulars who ended up forming the backbone of the organization. We had great events, and what I felt was my club passed to next year's incredible group of leaders. It has been going ever since, and I couldn't be prouder.
How many members does your group have? What kinds of events do you hold?
We have about 200 people on the Facebook page but active members that attend meetings can range from 5-15 depending on the quarter and everyone's availability. We have lots of different kinds of events. For our poster event we put poster pages on a board and asked people to write down their answers to questions we wrote on the posters. The questions were things like "What is Atheism to you?" and "How has religion affected your life?".
SSA@UCI members ask other students to respond to questions like "What is Atheism to you?"
How did you hear about CFI On Campus? How have you worked with CFI On Campus in the past, and how do you hope to work with us in the future?
I heard about CFI through another SSA organization. We don't have much representation from CFI on our campus, but their supplies (fliers and handouts) have been very useful. We don't have a lot of money to work with so everything counts.
As an example, could you share one thing your group accomplished that you're most proud of in the past year?
The blood drive we had in the winter went pretty well. We got a lot of people to participate and the nurses there sent us a letter thanking our organization for helping out.
Do you have anything else you'd like to add?
Our group is one of the smallest groups on our campus. We do, however, have 40 some odd religious groups on campus. I like to think of our club as a safe haven, where people can feel less like a minority. What drives me, as a council member, is the importance of keeping the club afloat so that others like me can feel accepted for their beliefs. That was the main appeal for me when I was a freshman.
What is your vision for the secular movement?
I'm pretty cynical when it comes to the secular movement. Needing to argue for the civil rights of gay people has provided a stark reminder of what happens when people try to argue legislation based on religion; they just look like bigots trying to impose their lifestyles on others. It's the same way with the abortion debates, but at least our government has the sense to make that legal. If we complain when people try to impose their religious beliefs on us, we're the bad guys? We have a long way to go.
SSA@UCI members visit Griffith Observatory for a social, educational bonding experience.

Is there any correlation between the economic growth and budget expenditure allocated to education? Case study Romania
As it is shown in the specialty literature, there is a series of empirical studies which aim at capturing the effects of public expenditure on the economic growth. To the empirical level, one may notice a reverse correlation between the economic growth and public expenditure, which is clearly explained by the omission of the structure of public expenditure within the analysis of its effects. Considering these aspects, our paper tries to reveal the applicability of the explanatory variable as educational expenditure. Thus, the paper empirically examines the correlation between the budget expenditure allocated to education and the economic growth in Romania, using Matlab to test statistical correlations between the variables submitted to this study.

Then lower it. :-] What distro are you using? Mandrake? Red Hat? Suse?
i can't to désable this firwell
Yes you probably can, but you have to know where to look. It can be a script run from the /etc, etc/init.d/ or /etc/rc.d/ directory called 'iptables" "firewall" or something like that.
We all would like to help you (even in the wrong forum, ok), but you have got to give us some more information.

questions on test-p
Ok i got a few questions to ask some of you veterans. first some stats im 25 210lbs and 6'1. ive been lifting since i was 13 on and off been lifting the last 3 years solid. diet is good 4k plus cal lots of protein and my training is good ( take my word for it i dont feel like listing all my routines) And i have done test e (500mg a week 12 weeks) and dbol(20mg daily for first 4 weeks) over the last 2 winters while trying to bulk. I want to do another bulk cycle combined with a powerlifting routine so goals are strength/weight gain. i was thinking on using test-p as i just dont want it in my system for up to 9 months since i now have a job that does random drug tests(not for gear but i just dont want it around forever) i dont think im going to stack it with anything so i was wondering what yall's gains have been like with test-p. how painful are the injections and what dose do you think? im thinking 100mg eod or maybe ed not sure yet, for 8 to 10 weeks. also would like to know how much gains can be kept from test-p as ive heard you keep very little. i know alot of this has to do with pct and diet afterward (nolvadex was my pct before btw). so now questions on pct, what do you guys think of arimidex or femara? i dont know too much about it like when to take it and what dose(.25-1mg?) and should i still have nolvadex on hand? Ive also been looking at HCG but dont think i can get my hands on it but would like more info on it for future reference. Also what do you guys think about OTC stuff like cycle support by anabolic innovations or something similar? i really want to get the pct down for this cycle. ok guys sorry this turned into a long post but any help would be great :)
Nothing wrong with test prop cycle only, and you can make good gains with it at 100mg - 150 mg e/o/d. I've had prop by itself before and it stings like a bitch. I like to mix it with something like eq, deca or primo.
No difference between Test E and Test Prop other then how many injections you need to take and how fast it is in and out of your system. E is just a longer ester and P shorter. Test P is out in 3 days generally where test is is 2 weeks. So if you go P your injecting more often. It won't make much of a difference how far down the road they can detect it either way.

text: Who do you think is the most unbeatable champion in his weight class (and I said his so Rousey isn't here)? Since I started the thread, I have put them in my order Silva Aldo St. Pierre Jones Henderson Johnson Velasquez Cruz Jones is where he is at because of Cormier and Cormier only. I think he could realistically beat Jones and might actually be favored against him, otherwise, I'd probably have Jones at #1. Barao would be a tough fight for Cruz otherwise I'd probably have him higher and with the knee injury I could easily see him losing his return fight.

Social Studies: Is it History?
Walk into any low-performing middle school classroom in your district and you may be shocked to find children unable to identify the state or country in which they live. Many may not know the continents or the U.S. president. "By fifth grade kids should at least know what the U.S. Constitution is and the Bill of Rights and know that we have a president, a Congress and a court system," says Peggy Altoff , social studies facilitator for Colorado Springs (Colo.) School District 11 and past president of the National Council for the Social Studies. However, because such basics are not being taught at the elementary level, kids in middle and high school are not performing well, according to Altoff . "At any low-performing school, they spend most of their days on reading, writing and math."
It's year six of the No Child Left Behind law, and social studies has suffered greatly. In spite of the public outcry over the law's testing mandates and limited federal funding, some educators believe most of the public doesn't know about core academic subjects being squeezed out of the K12 public school curriculum. Given that social studies education isn't tied to high-stakes testing, instructional time for it has taken a significant hit, particularly at the elementary grades, since the implementation of NCLB. This has educators deeply concerned about their ability to prepare children to become active citizens and about the long-term viability of the nation's democracy.
"We expect the public schools to educate citizens," says Cathy Roller, director of research and policy with the International Reading Association. "Social studies are a major player in that arena and are integral to teaching a sense of civic duty and how all of the important things about a democratic society work."
According to a 2007 report from the Center on Education Policy, which surveyed nearly 350 school districts across the nation, 44 percent of districts reported cutting time from one or more subjects or activities at the elementary level, including social studies.
While the National Alliance of Black School Educators, which supports some aspects of NCLB, has not taken an official position on the subject, Executive Director Quentin Lawson says that programs such as social studies, art and physical education started getting squeezed out years before NCLB was implemented. "It's clear that to any educator over the past 10 or 15 years there has been a major constriction of some very important subjects that are essential to our culture and general intellect," Lawson says. And squeezing out such subjects "was exacerbated and almost legalized, or moralized, as a result of NCLB."
Low-Income Pupils Suffer Most
Gayle Y. Thieman, president of the National Council for the Social Studies, says that schools with high minority populations and low socio-economic status are suffering the most. "What's really criminal about that is the enriched curriculum that all kids deserve is still taking place in districts with high-achieving kids," says Thieman.
Altoff agrees. "Kids in schools with higher levels of poverty are less likely to get social studies than those in more affluent schools," she says. Altoff is concerned, as are many of her colleagues, that with a discrepancy in exposure to social studies education comes the risk of creating a society that is divided between those who know what a difference they can make as citizens and those who don't. Some call it the civic achievement gap. "Students getting less social studies are less likely when they grow up to vote and less likely to contribute," Altoff says. "These are things we see as barometers of citizenship."
The danger of failing to provide students with strong course work in government, economics and geography, according to Thieman, is that they are ultimately unable to work together to solve public problems because they don't have the knowledge to do it. This can lead them to allow others to make public policy decisions for them.
"History/social studies is the one subject that provides the context for helping students understand that they are a part of the social network in which we operate," says Cricket F. L. Kidwell, director of curriculum and instruction for the Trinity County Office of Education in California, which has 28 schools.
On the bright side, this presidential election shows a "huge resurgence of youth interest," Thieman adds. "But we have to make sure that they have enough history knowledge and background, as well as geography, economics and government to be able to decide what mind of change they want," Thieman says. "Our young people are saying they want change, but do they know what we've already tried? To make an assessment of the candidates requires they have some historical knowledge."
Are Schools Expanding the Achievement Gap?
By limiting or eliminating social studies from elementary education, many argue that we are setting children up for academic failure. Without early exposure to social studies-related content and skills-global awareness, financial and civil literacy, information and media literacy, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration, historic reasoning and spatial reasoning-pupils in middle and high school would likely lack knowledge and vocabulary necessary for success in history classes. Overall reading and comprehension skills would tend to be put at risk as well.
According to Roller, particularly children in grades K-4 who are not exposed to social studies education are not gaining essential vocabulary, conceptual and world knowledge. Without the content background about government, economy or geography, by the time students get to middle school, they don't understand what they are reading when presented with social studies. "It's extremely shortsighted not to teach social studies in K4," Roller says.
Reading assessments at the upper elementary and middle school levels, which include social studies material, are assessing not just word identification but comprehension. A great deal of comprehension is about having the background, vocabulary and conceptual knowledge to interpret the words. For example, if students encounter a passage about the War of 1812 on a reading assessment, they have a greater likelihood of comprehending the passage and scoring higher if they've previously studied the topic.
Students from low-income families, or those eligible for free or reduced-price school lunch, on average scored lower on the National Assessment of Educational Progress's (NAEP) U.S. history test in 2006 than those from higher-income families. The gaps between those in the lowest income levels and the highest were 31 points in fourth grade and 28 points in eighth grade. Similarly, on the NAEP civics tests, fourth- and eighthgraders from low-income families had lower scores in 2006 than students from higher-income families-by 28 points and 30 points, respectively.
Encouraging Lower Intellectual Skills
In most states, social studies tests have primarily multiple-choice questions, and many argue that this has led to lower-level intellectual skills. Students in middle and high school must memorize names and places, not write a historical or a persuasive argument.
What's happening more is that students are learning about individual subjects in a vacuum, which detracts from the richness of the curriculum and their understanding of what they are learning and how it applies to their lives.
Kidwell urges administrators to consider whether or not students are engaged in learning activities such as debate or mock trials in the classroom, which would help them develop higher-level thinking skills and teach them how to evaluate sources of information and develop the participatory skills they need to be functioning as productive citizens in society. She acknowledges that these modalities are more difficult to measure. "But we're sophisticated enough in the field of education that we should be able to find other measures to quantify the impact of high quality instruction and curriculum," Kidwell says.
Democracy Is Not a Given
Our students should go into the world feeling that they are part of society and the government process. Many would argue that our country has fallen far short of that goal. The social studies curriculum at the elementary and, increasingly, the middle school level is being squeezed out.
"U.S. history will continue to be taught, hopefully at the middle school level and certainly at the high school level, but that's all you can say," says Thieman. "Is learning about U.S. history one time enough to ensure that our students know how to be active citizens? Do they have enough understanding of world history and geography to even know where events that have an impact on our global society are occurring around the world?"
"Democracy is not a natural state," Thieman continues. "It has to be taught; it just doesn't happen. Just because you were born in a democracy doesn't mean you're going to die in a democracy."
In the meantime, the federal education budget for 2008 has little or no money for geography and economics classes and includes cuts in fourth-grade civics and U.S. history, Altoff says. However, a recent NCLB reauthorization bill from the House of Representatives includes a provision for assessing other content areas beyond reading, writing, math and science. Altoff is hopeful that advocacy efforts for more social studies in elementary grades are making a wave.

This gentleman is now serving for the fourth term as the mayor of Wathena and his administration has been at once progressive, reformatory and practical. His name is so closely connected with the social, intellectual, material and moral development of the town that the history of Wathena would be incomplete without the record of his life. He came to this place in 1891 and through the intervening years he has been a potent factor in all measures tending toward the public good.
Mr. Harpster is a native of the Buckeye state. In one of his witty after-dinner speeches Chauncey Depew said: "Some men achieve greatness, some men are born great and some men are born in Ohio." The last statement is applicable to Mr. Harpster, whose birth occurred in Sandusky county on the 16th of April, 1862. He was reared and educated there, his preliminary educational privileges being supplemented by a course in the State Normal School at Ada, Ohio. In 1883 he came to Kansas, locating in Doniphan county, where he has since remained. He accepted the position of cashier in the bank at Severance and acceptably discharged the duties of that office until 1891, when he came to Wathena and organized the Wathena State Bank, of which he is the cashier. The president of the institution is John A. C. Jordan and the vice-president is O. C. Jones. The bank is one of the most popular in this section of the county and the volume of its business has reached extensive proportions. Its high standing is largely attributable to the untiring efforts of its cashier, who is thoroughly familiar with the banking business in all its departments and conducts the enterprise in a conservative and reliable manner.
While residing in Severance Mr. Harpster was united in marriage to Miss Bertha Robb, a lady of culture and refinement, whose father, Captain George H. Robb, is one of the popular and well-known citizens of Severance. Their union has been blessed with one child, Ruth Marie, a little maiden of six summers. Their home is celebrated for its hospitality and their circle of friends is very extensive.
While comparatively a young man Mr. Harpster has gained a most enviable reputation, for excellent business and executive ability, and in this, as in other regards, is accounted one of the leading citizens of Wathena. His efforts have not been confined to one line but have been extended to various enterprises and industries, and his counsel has proved a potent element in the successful conduct of the concerns with which he is associated. He is now the president and treasurer of the Black Mountain Mining & Investment Company, of Black Mountain, Colorado, a company which was incorporated in 1897 with a capital stock of one hundred thousand dollars. He was also an organizer and is vice-president of the bank at Denton, Doniphan county.
Although actively associated with these various interests he yet finds time for social and literary work, and his influence has been most marked in promoting the intellectual status of the community. He is an officer in the Wathena Midsummer Society, organized in 1899, and he is a much valued member. Socially he is identified with the Masonic order, belonging to the blue lodge of Wathena. He is also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Knights of Pythias and heartily indorses all societies which have for their aim mutual benefit and helpfulness. He is a prominent worker in the orders with which he holds membership and is therefore numbered among their valued representatives. In his political affiliations he is a Republican and for the fourth term is serving as the mayor of the town. He handles the reins of city government with great care and gives a conscientious and loyal support to all measures which he believes will prove a public benefit to the community or will advance its welfare along any lines that may contribute to its upbuilding and prosperity. He occupies an eminent position in social and business circles and enjoys the high regard of all with whom he has been brought in contact. In his business career he has attained more than an ordinary degree of success, but this has been won through the legitimate channels of commercial activity. His keen discernment, sound judgment and ability to form his plans readily and to execute them with determination have brought to him prosperity that he well merits.

Skechers USA Inc. is taking a more hands-on approach to its business in Japan, with an eye to expanding in that part of the world.
The Manhattan Beach-based maker of trendy shoes is transitioning its Japan operation from a third-party distributor to a new wholly owned subsidiary. The subsidiary is called Skechers Japan G.K.
"The subsidiary in Japan will allow us to export our successful business model, as we did in Europe and other countries in the Americas where we directly handle the sales and marketing of our brand, in order to maximize our potential in the country," Skechers President Michael Greenberg said in an email to the Daily Breeze.
Greenberg sent the email from Japan, where he is launching the new subsidiary.
Asia is Skechers' "main growth focus" because of the region's "tremendous opportunities," he said.
The shoe company has joint ventures in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore serving multiple countries.
Skechers expects Japan to become one of the company's top subsidiaries because of a strong middle class in the nation of 130 million people, Greenberg said.
Japan also will help drive Asian markets "in many ways, including most obviously with the trends," he said.
"The Japanese consumer is very savvy. They are on target with fashion before many other markets, and advanced in technology," Greenberg said. "If we are successful in Japan, we can anticipate great success in Asia."
Skechers plans to conduct high-profile marketing campaigns and add new Skechers retail stores across Japan.
The stores will carry the flagship performance lines Skechers GOrun and Skechers GOwalk footwear, in addition to other footwear for adults and children.
Hirokazu Iwasaki, a shoe industry veteran who has worked with Nike, Adidas and Puma, will head Skechers' Japan business.
Skechers' Japan subsidiary is not its first. The company has subsidiaries in Canada and across Europe, as well as in Brazil and Chile.
Foreign sales represent 30 percent of the company's total revenue.

Police E-mail Warns Of Rise In Crime
ATLANTA -- Thousands of Atlanta residents have received an email warning from a police major about rising, violent crime in Zone 5, which includes neighborhoods in downtown and midtown.
Major Khirus Williams sent out the alert after a string of robberies and carjackings Monday night.
Here is some of what he wrote:
"Please, let us all keep our exterior lights on to illuminate the area. This makes the area unpopular for criminals!
"Also, please have your family, friends, and neighbors to blow their horn when arriving. This allows us to watch for them until they arrive, inside, safely. Open the window dressings and hi-light them with a flash-light. Thus, the criminal element would be aware that someone is watching!
"Furthermore, we have to minimize just visiting in the drive way, or sidewalks, at nights. I know that this is unfair, but the criminals are becoming more brazen and this is their method of attack.. Patrols throughout the City are not as common as they were in the past, as a result of furloughs.
"In closing, we have to do things differently than we did in the past, until there is a change. Please, let us minimize the opportunity for us to become victims and assist others as they return home. "
Mjr. Williams say 2 to 5 men wearing hoodies that cover their faces are armed with guns and approaching people even when they're in groups and in lighted areas.
He also specificially references the current furloughs in the police department, which have cut patrols by 10% across the board.
"Right now, I feel like one of the most constructive things we can do is be completely honest with citizens about what they're up against and admit that police presence won't always be what it has been in the past," said Mjr. Williams.
Police E-mail Warns Of Rise In Crime - 11Alive.com | WXIA | Atlanta, GA
I think it would be a good thing if the police did this sort of thing more often.
On the other hand, I can't help to wonder if his motivation was really to warn people, or scare them into demanding more funding for the police.
I'm just thinking out loud here.
We have a neighborhood watch here and meet with the police rep every month. We get filled in on all the latest crime trends and scams affecting our neighborhoods. The police even give me flyers that I pass out to houses that dont attend the meetings. I think most cities have watch programs if they can get people to get involved.
Have you been to Atlanta?? Especially the area in question?
I was there in about mid 2001 and that place is RIPE with crime. You could probably pass 100 bills getting more police funds without too much problem. There are gangs and drugs EVERYWHERE.
For the police to take that measure means they must REALLY be up against it with the gang problem. That's scary. That isn't the type of thing that just fixes itself with picking up your pistol on the way to the store to make sure you are safe. Something goes down and you draw down on someone, you will have retribution from Hell to Christmas...
I don't envy the folks living there - but then again, if you allow your backyard to turn into a sh!thole, don't get upset with the rats....
I was down in Atlanta last night....
Were you packing?
Around the area and I was with Aaron of course I was packing.
Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers there. As I said, I was just thinking out loud. The fact that he mentioned the furloughs twice, just kind of caught my attention. I think he gave some good advice in the letter.
I think the fact that the police are using email like this is great. I know it leaves out the couple of people who still don't have email, but the more methods the police have to communicate with the people, the better.
I was actually working in Atlanta for 3 weeks in late 2000. I'm sure I wasn't anywhere near zone 5 though. I stayed as far away from downtown as possible. It's beautiful country around there. I spent a day out at Stone Mountain. That was the best day of my stay.

Residents and their neighbours baled out flooded houses after a river overflowed.
The Gables Nursing Home and several houses in Ifield have been flooded and many have been left without power since the early hours of this morning (Tuesday December 24).
The Environment Agency issued an amber flood alert for the area near River Mole yesterday (December 23) warning that the river level was rising quickly.
Steve Haire, SECAmb clinical operations manager and incident commander, said the power was switched off as soon as the area became flooded to ensure residents' safety.
Neil Lambert, of River Mead, Ifield, said his house had not flooded but he and neighbours were helping remove water from other houses using buckets.
He said: "The whole community pulled together. Guys from up past Royal Oak, people from Ifield Green, River Mead. It's Christmas isn't it.
"I've got no power so I would just be sat at home doing nothing if I wasn't here."
Malcolm Skeggs, of Delrogue Road, Ifield, also came to help.
He said: "I walked down towards the shops and someone said, 'Oh it's gone down the other end' so I came down, picked up a bucket and got stuck in."
UK Power Networks said 6,903 properties in Sussex have lost power due to the storm.
A spokesperson said: "In the South East which was hit harder, engineers are tackling the incidents which affect high numbers of customers first, but if your power is still off at midnight it's likely you will be off on Christmas Day so you should consider making contingency plans now.
"Wherever possible, UK Power Networks is planning to buy Christmas dinners for households if they are still without supply tomorrow."
UK Power Networks is appealing for any restaurants or pubs in the East of England and South East who have spare tables on Christmas Day, to email email@example.com or call 0800 028 0959.

New Orleans Hornets Coach Monty Williams said he expects shooting guard Eric Gordon won't be completely healed from his knee problems until after a full summer of rest, despite playing 34 games this season. Gordon missed the first 29 games because of a bone bruise and patella disorder in his right knee. During the 2011-12 season, his first with the Hornets, Gordon missed all but nine games after requiring arthroscopic surgery on the same knee.
"I think he will be (100 percent). The thing we have to do is manage his rest time and have a full summer with him,'' Williams said after Tuesday's practice. "This summer is a summer for him to really healthy and get better, so that next year he's at full clip. That's what we anticipate, and that's probably why they put these restrictions on him, to get him to the summertime, so he can fully recover from the surgery."
Since returning Dec. 29, Gordon has remained under restrictions to sit out the second game of back-to-back sets and not average more than 30 minutes a game. With only eight games left in the regular season, those restrictions for Gordon are not expected to be lifted.
The Hornets' next back-to-back comes at the end of their five-game road trip that begins Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. The Hornets will close out the trip next week with back-to-back games against the Lakers and Sacramento Kings. Gordon, who is the Hornets' leading scorer with a 16.7 average, is not expected to play against the Kings on April 10 because of the restrictions. Gordon has struggled in the second half of several games after starting off well. In Sunday's 112-92 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he made five-of-six shots for 12 points in the first half. After halftime, Gordon missed all five shots and scored two points.
