Q: What should I do if I have a power outage over the winter and my aeration stops?
Johnny – Point Marion, PA
A: Power outages happen. Whether they're caused by Mother Nature, like hurricane Sandy, or the result of an accident or a blown transformer, chances are pretty good that you'll contend with at least one lights-out experience this winter—but your chandelier won't be the only thing not electrified.
Out in your lake or water garden, your aeration system will also shut down when the electricity stops. No aeration for an extended period of time means your pond's water quality could suffer and your fishes' health could be compromised.
Don't worry: If you're prepared, a power outage won't be a big deal at all. Here's what you need to know.
Your Fish will be Fine …
As long as the water temperature remains cold and your pond is relatively free of dead or decomposing debris, your fish will survive the power outage without even blinking an eye.
Thanks to one of the many unique properties of water, cold water retains more dissolved oxygen than warm water. "Think about how much bubblier a cold soda is compared to a warm one," describes the United States Geological Survey. "The cold soda can keep more of the carbon dioxide bubbles dissolved in the liquid than the warm one can, which makes it seem fizzier when you drink it."
It's the same thing with oxygen. Colder water molecules are more densely packed and can therefore hold more oxygen, which your fish and other pond inhabitants need to survive.
In addition, the pond should not have a lot of dead or decomposing materials, like leaves and plant matter. All that breaking-down vegetation depletes the water of oxygen while imbuing it with harmful toxic gases like ammonia.
Bottom line: If your water is cold and your pond is clean when the power goes out, your finned friends will be just fine, short-term.
Service & Protect Your Aerator
After the power is restored and the candles are blown out, plan to head out to your aeration system and assess the situation. Any built-up air pressure could prevent the aerator from turning back on, so you'll need to relieve the air pressure by pulling the relief valve or disconnecting the airline before you turn the system back on again. In addition, condensation could form on the motor, which will need to be wiped down to prevent rust from forming.
To protect your aerator from the elements—which could cause an isolated power outage in your pond or lake—make sure it's protected. Larger units, such as those for ponds and lakes, should be in a cabinet; smaller units, such as those for water gardens, should be hidden within a faux rock, like the Pond Logic® TruRock™ Small Boulder Cover. It's designed to blend into the landscape while protecting pond equipment.
Pond Talk: In case of long-term power outage, would you ever use a generator to power your aerator? Why or why not?

My family celebrates Christmas eve by sitting down to a big dinner. Back when my siblings and I were in our 20s, these meals were long, epic affairs that lasted until midnight and beyond. Now that we all have kids, they tend to be more punctuated but more lively with lots of adult and child banter (last year we had grilled oysters, roasted pork, and about 857 cookies).
This bay scallop chowder, clipped from Food & Wine in 1998, makes its appearance at our holiday table every few years. It's a terrific starter course because most of it can be made ahead, and it feeds a crowd.
Bay Scallop Chowder
Adapted from Patrick Clark, the former chef at the Tavern on the Green, via Food & Wine
Serves 12
1. Melt the butter in a large enameled cast-iron casserole. Add the bacon and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the clam broth, chicken stock and bouquet garni to the casserole and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to moderately high heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. (The recipe can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Bring to a boil before proceeding.)
3. Add the diced potatoes to teh soup and cook over moderately high heat until just tender, about 10 minutes. Discard the bouquet garni.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk 1/4 cup of the heavy cream with the cornstarch until smooth. Whisk in the remaining 2 cups cream, then whisk the mixture into the soup. Bring the soup to a boil over moderately high heat. Add the leeks and cook until just tender, about 4 minutes. (The chowder can stand at room temperature for up to 3 hours. Rewarm before finishing.)
5. Stir the scallops into the chowder and cook over moderate heat just until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes; don't let the soup boil. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle the chowder into a tureen or individual bowls. Garnish with the chopped chives and serve at once.
A New Way to Dinner, co-authored by Food52's founders Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, is an indispensable playbook for stress-free meal-planning (hint: cook foundational dishes on the weekend and mix and match 'em through the week).

You can teach yourself how to use Audit Command Language (ACL), the data analytics software from www.highbond.com. ACL is used by internal auditors and others to:
- Capture, cleanse, and normalize data to ensure consistency and accurate results
- Identify trends, pinpoint exceptions and highlight potential areas of concern
- Join files based on a key field
- Determine what records or fields in 2 files match (or don't)
- Locate errors and potential fraud
- Age and analyze financial or any other time-sensitive transactions
- Schedule, script, and automate analyses
FYI: The company no longer defines ACL as Audit Command Language because they don't want you to think it's only for auditors (it isn't). Given how slowly most auditors have taken advantage of it, I predict that someday auditors won't be the number 1 users of ACL.
I'd re-define ACL as Automated Command Language.
See this Quick Intro to ACL's user interface.
Since ACL merged with HighBond, they have changed all their website URLs. I need to go through this post AGAIN and update them. Sorry some of them no longer work. I'll get to it soon.
For most users, the best way to learn ACL is to take formal classes. However, do not assume that the classes that ACL offers are the only options; other firms provide similar training.
However, your company may not give you the luxury of attending classes, so how do you learn it on your own?
Learning ACL on Your Own
Assuming you own the software and have a support contract, I'd suggest you follow these steps (which I wish someone would told me when I started using ACL). The links will work if you log into the Tech Support area first (see first link in #1 below).
1. On the ACL website, the Support Center1 has some good, FREE self-paced courses in ACL Academy. that walks you through basic and advanced concepts. Start with the ACL Analytics Foundations Online (this course used to be called ACL005 ACL Fundamentals: A Command Overview) which takes about 5-10 hours. Trust me, it will be a good investment of your time.
If you're looking for the original ACL005 course material, you may still be able to download it as a zip file, directly from ACL here2. The file contains the instructions and files you need to do the training. I'd recommend using the new ACL Academy course mentioned above, but if you want the original, it's still available for a limited time.
2. Run some of the same exercises from the training in step 1 or 2 against your company data (make sure you follow all related IT and security policies for obtaining, storing, and using the data).
3. When you get stuck, do one or all of the following:
- Check the ACL v11 Help file (much more helpful once you understand ACL a bit, but still good for beginners).
- Search the ACL Knowledge Base2 for articles and forum posts regarding the issue.
- Look for a related ACL webinar.
Review the Quick Steps2 to see if step-by-step instructions (including examples) are available for the task you're trying to accomplish.Not sure what happened to this link, but I'm sure it's not gone forever.
- Post a question in the ACL Forum.2 CAATS (David G. Coderre) and porter are the most knowledgeable (and patient) members of the forum, but there's many other helpful members.
- Check out the free training highlighted below (see the FREE ACL Training topic).
- Check out some of the ACL User Group websites such as the St. Louis ACL UG. Many of these sites include tips, tricks, and their own forums. For the official ACL UG list, search the ACL site (they keep moving the list).
- Call ACL technical support1,. When you click this link, look in the upper right corner of the page for the tech support phone number and links to open a support ticket or check the status of an existing support ticket. Or if you log onto their website, chat with an ACL technician. Keep in mind that everything in your chat will be captured in an ACL ticket, so chatter beware!
Some auditors speak highly of the support they've received; others, like me, have had several unpleasant experiences (and yes, I have been vocal in my feedback). Regardless, you paid for it, so call and form your own opinion. The word on the street is that PREMIUM support is much better and worth the extra dollars.
I also recommend Coderre's book, The Fraud Toolkit for ACL. Especially if you're interested in scripting.
1 To access the Support Center or call tech support, you must have an ACL support contract. Requires login.
2 Found on the ACL website in the Support Center.
Don't have ACL Software?
If you don't have ACL software, you can get it (usually an education version, which is not the same as the full version) when you purchase certain books. Try this Google search. This is a suggestion, not an endorsement…
FREE ACL Training
See my posts regarding Free ACL Bootcamp Training and ACL Tutorials on YouTube (read the comments on this post for extra info). At this point, this is separate from ACL Academy, which is the new self-paced training course.
The virtual classroom training that ACL launched in March 2010 was discontinued (see Nav's comment about this). ACL charged about $135 per training session, but they must not have received enough bites. I leave this note here in case someone is still looking for it.
My Older Notes
If you're looking for materials that you can use for practice with test project files (which you can download for free, without an ACL support contract–more on that later), see below. I don't recommend using this because it's getting out of date based on new functions and user interface changes, but I kept the original info as noted below.
A PDF called ACL91 In Practice and the associated sample project files provide step-by-step instructions to work on a practice project. It walks you through a project that's already set up and then describes how to set up and work on a new project (with all the data provided).
By following instructions in the PDF, you'll learn how to import text and Excel files, analyze the files, and then export the results out of ACL. Plan on spending another 5 hours on this piece. Again, a good investment.
However, this PDF was discontinued, which is why you cannot obtain it and the project files from ACL anymore. ACL has graciously provided these files to me, and has given me permission to put them on my site for download (see Nav's comment about this). To download them, go to the Free Downloads page.
After downloading the PDF and the sample files, just follow the instructions in the PDF. Before using these files, please note the following: 1) You have to have ACL software to use these files, and for best results, it should be at least version 9.1 (I think it will work for earlier and later versions, but be aware some terms and menu options may have changed), 2) only a English version is available, and 3) You cannot call ACL for help on them.

Former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich's recent Op-Ed attempts to paint President Obama as part of our Middle East problem ("As Middle East burns, Obama fiddles," Sept. 30). His suggestion that moderate Muslims help remove the threat from radical Islam to our culture exposes a typically shallow appreciation of the situation.
The politically correct mantra that all our problems are caused by a small faction of Islamist terrorists is disingenuous at best. From moderate believers to radical fundamentalists, Muslims of all stripes abhor our promiscuity, women's equality, mixing of the sexes, homosexuality and tolerance for drugs and alcohol.
But most damning in their eyes is our democracy, which allows us to believe or not believe in God and to determine individually our relationship to Him. Blasphemers, missionaries and Muslim converts to Christianity face execution under Sharia law, and all attempts to impose western values onto Islam merely inflame the situation.
From Nigeria through North Africa and into the Middle East and Asia, there are 1.3 billion Muslims in a mosaic of complex, intertwined political entities. There are multiple ethnic groups with variations of a single religion — the majority Sunni and minority Shia, along with a few smaller sects — and a total absence of democracy.
The dominant institutions are the military, Islamic theocracies and tribal structures based on family and clan loyalty. Every nation has some different combination of these three elements.
From the 1920s until the 1960s, all the Muslim nations were colonies of Britain, France, Italy and the Netherlands. The Europeans eventually were kicked out in violent uprisings. The only reason we entered the region was our need for Middle Eastern oil.
We lost the oil reserves by 1980. Every administration and Congress since has careened from one costly debacle to another — in Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan — with no logical rational for our presence.
We fostered regime change in Libya and Egypt that gave the Muslim Brotherhood control in Egypt and power to a gaggle of Islamic militias in Libya. We are supporting rebels in Syria with no idea who will replace the country's beleaguered dictator, Bashar Assad. And either Israel or the U.S. will eventually attack an Iran that is supported by Russia and China.
It is time to pack up our kit and leave before we engage in another unwinnable war that could end in a global conflict that has nothing to do with our national security.

Richard Childress Racing Makes The Racer's Life A Little Easier With A Complete Accessories Kit To Make Your Crate Engine Race Ready
Crate motors may not be for everyone, but for some racers there is no doubt that the ability to drop a crate motor into their race car has made competition fun and affordable once again. General Motors has certainly been the leader when it comes to crate motor racing, and its Chevrolet 602 and 604 circle track racing engine packages are appearing at tracks all across America.
Now, Richard Childress Racing has also joined the scene to make going racing just a little bit easier. While the 602 and 604 are complete long-blocks, there are still several components that must be added before you are ready to go racing. These include the water pump, fuel pump, distributor, ignition and wires, starter, air filter, and power steering pump, if you choose to run one. Although none of these components are difficult to install on the engine, too often we've heard stories of racers scrambling at the last minute trying to find that last little thing they need. Finding the correct drive pulleys, brackets and belts to run the water pump, alternator, and power steering pump can sometimes be a maddening experience. If the brackets aren't designed to work in unison, the pulleys won't line up and the engine will throw belts faster then you can say "did not finish." And we all know a good night of racing ruined over something as silly as a power steering belt can make a nun cuss.
That's why we think this new offering from Richard Childress Racing is such a good idea. In conjunction with GM Performance Parts, RCR is now offering a complete accessories package design to work with Chevy stock car racing engines-and especially Chevy's circle track crate motor lineup. The package includes just about everything you need to get a crate motor up and running, minus the carburetor, headers, and spark plugs. Possibly best of all, the extras you will need-every gasket, nut, bolt, and spacer-is already included. This means no more rummaging around in your spare-bolts bucket at midnight because you need one more 31/48-inch bolt to finish the job. All the correct spacers are included to ensure proper belt alignment so that the water and power steering pumps, as well as the alternator, not only work dependably, but also with minimal drag on the engine.
"This kit was born out of a relationship we built with GM Performance Parts over several years, which obviously came through our GM Goodwrench connections," explains RCR's Chuck Spicer. "We are trying to get the RCR Performance name out on the market, and this is the first step in that process. We felt that we could bring something to the circle track racers by delivering an engine dress kit that is readily available, uses really good components, and meets our validation that comes from our own racing experience. These are parts racers will want to use."
Spicer says that when putting together this accessories package, RCR went with component manufacturers that it had a relationship with and knew produced quality racing components, such as CV Products, MSD, and Stewart Water Pumps. RCR then chose every component to ensure that they would work together optimally. By the time you read this, it will be available through all participating Chevrolet dealerships as the RCR Performance Package. Spicer says that RCR also understands not all racers will require the complete package. For example, some may already have an ignition but wish to scrap their current pulley system, which may be worn or giving them trouble, and start over. Others may not run power steering and do not wish to use the power steering pump. Because of this, the package has been split into 13 different part numbers, which Spicer says will allow racers to purchase only the components they need.
To see how well this system worked together, we installed it on Circle Track's own dyno mule. The mule began life as a Chevrolet crate 350 but has been modified extensively since. That's OK because this accessories package is designed to work with any traditional Chevy small-block 350, not just the crate motors. For more information, Spicer says you can contact your local Chevy dealer.
The cast-aluminum valve covers certainly make a statement. The center-bolt design is less common in racing than older-style perimeter bolt valve covers. However, they already have breather tubes welded in place on the left-side valve cover. Gaskets were handled by a pair of Fel-Pro Perma-Drys (PN VS50088R).
Here's everything that comes with the water pump kit. All the necessary fasteners are provided, and everything is Grade 8. The water pump is a high-quality, lightweight aluminum unit. It comes with two spacers, which are necessary to align all of the pulleys.
Although the bolts on the left side of the pump will have to be removed later for the alternator bracket, it takes about six hands to put it all on at once. Save yourself some hassles by bolting up the water pump and then removing bolts one at a time as you add the brackets. Also, make sure to add thread sealant to the lower bolt on the right-hand side because it extends into the block's water jacket.
Stock cars don't use heaters, so a plug for the heater hose is included. It threads into place with a 31/48 hex driver.
Here is a good angle showing how the spacers push the water pump pulley out about a quarter of an inch. Gaskets are provided for both sides of the spacers.
The fuel pump is a rebuildable aluminum unit manufactured by CV Products that many engine builders swear by. What isn't included is a fuel pump pushrod, so we used an ultra-light piece from Moroso (PN 65750) that reduces fuel pump flutter at high rpm. Always lubricate both ends of the pushrod with either moly-lube (shown) or extreme-pressure lube. The lube holds the pushrod in position when you slide it into the engine, which makes bolting up the fuel pump a little easier.
To bolt on the fuel pump, you will also need a fuel pump mounting plate. We used Mr. Gasket's PN 1514. Here, a little gasket prep compound is added to the mounting plate gasket to improve the seal against the block, which has a few nicks and dings.
You will need two 11/44-20 bolts for the bottom of the fuel pump mounting plate, but the hardware to mount the pump is included.
The crank pulley uses this locator tab, which centers off the harmonic damper hole. A new crankshaft bolt is also included.
Next, the drive hub fits over the locator tab to ensure that it is centered and then bolts directly to the damper.
Before continuing with the crank pulley, take a moment to bolt the water pump pulley in place with the hardware included.
The crank pulley uses two 0.020-inch shims to place it in line with the water pump pulley. If you aren't running the power steering pump portion of the kit, there is no adjuster for the water pump belt, which must be put on at the same time that the crank pulley is installed.
Here is the setup if you are not running a power steering pump. The Goodyear Gatorback belt replaces traditional V-belts because it offers lower rotating inertia, thanks to less overall weight. It is also self-cleaning and reduces slippage. The pulleys are hard-coded aluminum for extended service life, and the water pump pulley is sized for 6.5 percent rpm reduction.
The alternator bracket replaces the bolts on the left-hand side of the water pump with longer bolts. The machined-aluminum bracket also uses spacers to properly position the alternator pulley. The easiest way to get everything in place is to remove the upper-left bolt on the water pump, position the bracket and spacer, and install the new longer bolt, making sure to leave it loose.
Now you can remove the lower bolt, position the second spacer, install the new lower bolt included with the kit, and tighten everything down.
The distributor mounts to the bracket in two locations. The bottom tab uses a nut and bolt, but the upper tab is threaded and includes a metric bolt that threads into place from behind the bracket.
Many race teams use only SAE sizing on their fasteners, and having a single metric bolt on the engine can potentially cause confusion at the racetrack when everything must be done quickly. You may decide to drill out the threads on the upper tab and replace the metric bolt with a 51/416 nut and bolt. The tab has plenty of material, so opening up the hole slightly shouldn't be a problem.
Install the alternator pulley and secure it with the 21mm nut. The nut must be torqued to 50 ft-lb, but the process is slightly unusual in this case. Begin by placing a drop or two of red Loctite on the threads. Then, place a 21mm box-end wrench over the nut. Next, place a torque wrench with a 10mm, six-point socket over the threaded axle. Set the torque wrench to 50 ft-lb and make sure it is set to loosen. Now, tighten the nut with the box-end wrench until the torque wrench clicks.
Attach the ground strap to the cylinder head with a 31/48-inch bolt.
The power steering pump bracket attaches to the front of the block with its own hardware. No water pump bolts must be removed on this side.
Like the alternator, the power steering pump attaches to the bracket with two included bolts. The lower bolt is difficult to reach with a wrench, but the pulley is open, making it easy to tighten the bolt with a speed handle.
Now you can install the belt that drives both the water pump and the power steering pump. Notice that we have already removed the belt that was to be used when racing without a power steering pump. Since it can swivel in its bracket, the power steering pump is used as the tensioner.
The alternator belt rides in front of the water pump belt on the water pump pulley, so it goes on second.
RCR includes an HEI distributor from MSD that features an internal rev limiter and includes all the necessary hardware to run with or without vacuum advance. Before installing the distributor, pull the cap and use a heavy grease on the distributor gear. Turn the crank until the timing pointer is at the firing position for the No. 1 cylinder (usually 30-33 degrees BTDC) and install the distributor, with the rotor pointing in the general direction of the No. 1 cylinder.
Mark the position of the rotor on the aluminum distributor body so you can tell where it's pointed once the cap is in place. Next, install the cap and begin plugging the included spark plug wires into position. The standard firing order for the small-block Chevrolet is 1, 8, 4, 3, 6, 5, 7, 2. Also, squirting a little dielectric grease into the plug boots on each side of the wires will provide maximum conductivity to the spark plugs.
The air filter includes both the upper and lower bowls as well as a threaded rod and adapter for the carburetor.
The finished product in less than a couple of hours. Also included in the package but not shown here-because we have no flywheel-is a high-torque starter.

You might have your fancy DSLR, but can you take a square picture like all the cool kids on Instagram? No, of course you can't, sucker! But here's how to with a little... tape.
Photographer Maciej Pietuszynski has posted what we desperately hope is a humorous blog post — actually it's hard to tell if it's serious or not — about using tweezers, scissors and tape to give your DSLR a square aspect ratio.
Be warned: it involves removing the (highly delicate) focusing screen, applying tape, and reinserting the thing, all without damaging your precious camera. So probably don't bother. Unless you want to, you know, take cool photos instead of super-serious ones. [maciekpp via Peta Pixel]

A backup battery for your smartphone is useless without the necessary cables. So Mophie has built both a USB and a microUSB cable into its Juice Pack Reserve Micro, allowing you to charge a myriad of portable devices — as long as they're not from Apple.
A multi-colour LED lets you know when the Juice Pack is alive and well, or when its 1000 mAh battery is in need of recharging itself. And while 'micro' might not be the most accurate description of its form factor, there's nothing stopping you from strapping this to your keychain if you don't mind a bit of pocket bulk. The $US40 price tag is reasonable too, considering the battery pack has the miraculous power to raise your smartphone from the dead.

Sunbonnet Babies were first introduced in 1900 in the book The Sunbonnet Babies. It was the first children's school book to use the same characters for the entire text. The stories were by Eulalie Osgood Grover, illustrated by Bertha Corbett. The children's faces were completely hidden by the sunbonnets. The children had been pictured in black and white before this time, but the color pictures in the book were immediately successful. The Royal Bayreuth China Company made a full line of children's dishes decorated with the Sunbonnet Babies. Some Sunbonnet Babies plates have been reproduced, but are clearly marked.

Rivers indicated the rotation would be last night's starting five with Shaquille O'Neal (if healthy) in place of Jermaine O'Neal in the starting lineup. Then it would be Jermaine O'Neal, Nenad Krstic, Glen Davis, Jeff Green and Delonte West coming off the bench.If you had asked me to predict the rotation prior I would have said the same thing. Now 10 guys seems like one too many and if the O'Neals are both healthy for every game of the playoffs I would imagine Kristic would be the odd man out. But if you're Doc you have to tell Kristic to be prepared, because the O'Neals health is no given. I would imagine West might actually be the reserve getting the most minutes as he seems to fit a little better than Green right now. Green will get the 10 minutes backing up Pierce, but will have to fight Baby and West for any more burn. JR 4/04/2011 08:06:00 PM Tweet Edit

Troy Murphy says:
This sucks balls!
JR says:
Lol Troy. Sorry. Trust me when I say you still have a shot. Nice link ;)
.chuckT. says:
anyway - I have to say this rotation is better than the one we had last year in the playoffs of:
C -Perk / Sheed
PF -KG / Baby
SF -Pierce / Quis
SG -Ray / TA
PG -Rondo / Nate
This years rotation is much bigger(obviously - cause Sheed was a PF playing C) and more reliable offensively.
SCAL-4-THREE! says:
Von Wafer has the potential to come up huge off the bench, especially on offense... I think he deserves some minutes, and we're going to have some serious problems if Delonte is really the only guard that Doc plans on using off the bench. The other four are all power forwards and/or centers, even Green who they like using on the wing.
JR says:
If the O'Neals are healthy I agree Banner. Mainly b/c Delonte is a genuine weapon we didn't have last year and KG is better than he was last year too.
why not play von wafer????and have some minutes for nenad and troy coz obviously the oneals are injury prone players.
Jesse Dampolo says:
Disagree with Scal.
Jeff Green is a Small Forward, he was used as a 4 in OKC because of Durant. But in Boston I believe he'll be used primarily as a SF, then obviously as a 4 situationally.
yea i agree....but we have to stay healthy and give von wafer some more minutes against certain teams though....if we do that then we should be guaranteed banner 18
Hey guys just wanted to add my little opion in here. I think Von could defintly check and give us some minutes. Let's not forget how he averaged 15 ppg against the lakers in 07 in the rockets valiant attempt to knock off the lake show. And if worst comes to worst (I mean worst!) Murph can defintly step in and fill in some minutes.
If this team is healthy, which I'm hoping they are. They will be a force to reckon with. Much deeper than last year. Just hope the desire to win is there. The C's need to think about Game 6 and 7 of last year's NBA Finals and that should fuel their motivation. Let's go BOSTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avenue says:
def agree with u guys about wafer hes a pure scorer and i think will be a good back up when ray is on the bench hopefully both oneals will be healthy but i shaq is looking really doubtful to me but i think jermaine has something to prove and will let everyone know he still can play
Can J O Neal play PF?
SCAL-4-THREE! says:
Green plays very solid both at the 3 and 4 position. Regardless, I think Wafer has a lot to offer, and that it definitely could not hurt to have a legitimate scoring shooting guard as an option off the bench, since Delonte is backing up Rondo.
And Jermaine O'Neal used to play PF, in fact he was an all star PF on the Pacers. He's older, slower, and not the athlete was back then, but we possibly could see him at PF next to Shaq or Krstic if we get into foul trouble or another tight situation.
Benneth says:
C - Shaq / JO
PF - KG / Big Baby
SF - Pierce / Green
SG - RayRay / Wafer
PG - Rondo / West
So where do I come in?
celtics manila says:
It's just as simple as this, if the celtics are healthy come playoffs, whatever rotation doc uses, we'll get banner 18 baby!

We started by referring back to the anchor chart we made earlier in the week. This anchor chart came from Kim Adsit's Graph It! unit.
First we posed a question. I asked my students what kind of ball they liked to play with. I let my students choose a ball from the bag. You could also have them bring in one of their own from home. Then we collected the data by sorting the balls into groups.
We used the balls to make a real object graph.
Then each student replaced their ball (real object) with a picture of it.
This graph came from Kim's Graph It! unit. I posed the question "Would you want a kiss or a band-aid on your boo-boo?" My students filled in their recording sheets while I modeled for them in a whole group. We collected data by having students answer the question and recording their response with a tally mark.
After we collected the data, we made the graph. I made a graph with the whole group while students filled in the graph on their recording page.
I enlarged the pictures from Kim's small graph to make the large graph. When each student answered the question I gave them the picture that went with their choice. They colored it and brought it back to the carpet. We went around the circle, students answered the question, added their picture to the large graph, and marked the picture on their own recording sheet.

We all have an investment in the Colorado Water Plan
By Kathy Chandler-Henry
Guest Commentary
We're hearing a lot about the Colorado Water Plan these days. What does it mean for our state, and especially for our headwaters counties? Because approximately 80 percent of the state's water comes from the Western Slope, and about that same percentage of the population lives east of the Continental Divide, we have a vested interest in the plan's process and outcomes.
Why a water plan? Based on predictions for population doubling by 2030 and growing demands for water throughout the arid West, Gov. John Hickenlooper assumes there is a coming gap between the demand for water and available supply, and has directed his staff to develop a plan for the future.
Five factors that must inform the Colorado Water Plan are: advances in "smart" land use planning and development; unrealistic estimates of water availability (and there really isn't any "new" water); the interdependence of water in the stream and our lives and livelihoods in the headwaters and Western Slope; the importance of conservation and re-use of water to meeting demand; and the imperative of working together rather than independently throughout our river basins to develop a workable plan.

September 2007 - Newsletter 86
40 Years Anniversary 4th/5th and 6th October
The celebration of our 40 years as professionals has expanded somewhat since the May Newsletter. The Friday Night Ceilidh and the Saturday Night Concert sold out very quickly so we have booked Yetminster Church Hall for the Thursday Night and there will be an additional Concert then. Two thirds of the tickets for this have already gone so if you are interested please do get in touch soon. They are £8 each and you can buy them via the web site or from PO Box 3, Sherborne Dorset, DT9 3AL. Cheques to 'The Yetties' please.
We have asked Bob Common. who left the band at the end of 1979, to join us on drums for the Friday Night and he has agreed to have a go. He still lives in Yetminster and, in fact his wife, Pam, organises the bookings for the Church Hall.
I still have some tickets left for the Saturday afternoon 'Meet The Yetties for a chat and a cup of tea' session. In fact Pam is making the tea. Profits from the teas will go to The Yetminster Irish Dance Team. The tickets for this are free by the way and we may just have some dignitaries from Dorset present.
It is amazing where people are coming from and I really do hope you all enjoy your stay in our little bit of Dorset. If you are coming from distant parts and need accommodation best ring Sherborne Tourist Information on 01935 815341. The team at the centre are always very helpful. You can tell 'em I said so.
Stop Press: We had arranged for a bar but just as I was going off to the printers I received a call from the organisers to the effect that they couldn't do it. The best way out of this predicament therefore is for you to bring your own liquid refreshment for the evening performances.
English Folk Dance and Song Society Gold Badges
These were presented to us at a special West Country Concert at Sidmouth Folk Festival. It was quite an honour for us 'youngsters' to receive these. Geoff Rye who did the actual presentation had to wait until he was nearly 90 before getting this reward for his many years of hard work within the folk music scene. Geoff is not in good shape but he did a wonderful job and his voice is as strong and commanding as ever. I don't think he has travelled more than two miles from Radstock, where he lives, for some years but with the help of Mark, his son and Esther, his daughter he managed to get to Sidmouth for the ceremony. It was a valiant effort and Mark said afterwards that Geoff was hinting that he wouldn't mind staying at the festival for a couple more days. That is definitely a score.
The concert was very enjoyable with other artists from the West Country filling the first half. The audience was great. You could feel the good will coming off them in waves and Roland Birchby, who originally sent the citation to the EFDSS, was there despite having an operation 5 days before. Thanks one and all.
New Tune Book
Years ago we produced a tune book based on the Hardy family collection of jigs, reels, waltzes etc. Unfortunately the publisher didn't reprint when it sold out but now we have a replacement in the form of the William Winter Tune Book . Geoff Rye, mentioned above, used to run the library at Halsway Manor before Cynthia took it over. In 1960 he purchased the notebook of William Winter a fiddle player from West Bagborough in Somerset. It is dated 1850 and in it there are over 400 melodies. Geoff Woolfe has meticulously edited these and in the new book you will find 377 of them. These are the old country tunes, very similar in content to the Hardy collection and just right for musicians whether experienced or just starting out.
The book comes with a CD of 31 of the tunes played by local musicians on fiddles, melodion and concertina. It costs £20 including postage. See Sales.
Yetties at Halsway Manor
We will be back at Halsway for our usual weekend bash from the 22nd to the 24th of February. You might just squeeze into the Manor itself but there are also bed & breakfast establishments in the vicinity if you want to join in the fun and games. Ring Halsway Manor on 01984 618274 or e mail firstname.lastname@example.com
They have also asked us to repeat our summer break from 21st of July until the 25th. This is rather gentler than the weekend. There's plenty of time to wander the countryside or take in the local attractions. This year Cynthia and I even took our bikes and had a wamble on them. It really is a very beautiful part of England.
Old Yetties LPs
LPs in stock at the moment are: Keep A Runnin'; Our Friends The Yetties; Dorset Is Beautiful; The World of The Yetties; The Yetties of Yetminster; Let's Have a Party; The Village Band; Up Market; Dorset Style; In Concert; A Little Bit of Dorset; The Yetties, A Proper Job, The Sound of Cricket (with John Arlott) and Focus on The Yetties (double album). If you would like any of these to add to your collection please ring 01935 814611. They cost £5 each plus £1 P&P Cheques to Halsway Manor.
Yetties Christmas Singalong Concerts and New Year Party in Sherborne
Concert nights are Friday 14th and Saturday 15th of December. The New Year Party will, naturally enough, be on Monday 31st.
All three events start at 8p.m. and will be at The Digby Hall as usual. Tickets will be on sale from the middle of October and can be purchased from 'Rules' which is opposite Woolworths in Cheap Street, Sherborne. Alternatively you can buy them from our web shop, send for them via the PO Box or ring 01935 814611, 814667 or 813890. For the concerts they cost £7 for adults and £6 for children and senior citizens. New Year tickets are £12 each. Bring your own nosebag for New Year. Anything from the fatted calf to a bag of crisps, it's up to you but please don't bring your own booze there is a well stocked bar.
If you need a map to find the hall don't hesitate to ask.

EJ Manuel told NFL Total Access on Friday that he's "100 percent healthy" and fired up to lead the Bills in his second season as the team's starting quarterback.
Running back C.J. Spiller is happy to have him.
"E.J. is the guy to take us to where we want to go and we understand that," Spiller told SiriusXM NFL Radio on Saturday.
Manuel's rookie outing was a collage of inconsistency marred by injury. He told NFL Network that he's learned to "be smart when I take off with the football" after losing four weeks last season to a sprained LCL suffered on a scramble against the Browns in Week 5.
Even with the presence of exciting rookie pass-catcher Sammy Watkins, we expect the Bills to go after teams on the ground. The trio of Spiller, Fred Jackson and Bryce Brown form one of the league's top stable of backs.
Still, Buffalo needs Manuel to improve as a passer. Offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett vowed in June that his quarterback would be used to the hilt in the team's fast-paced, no-huddle attack after spending last season with a stripped-down version of the playbook.
Spiller and Buffalo's coaching staff continue to preach an "all-in" approach to their young starter. The optimism is encouraging, but Manuel is under considerable pressure to flip the switch come September.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" makes sense of the Andre Johnson situation and pitches ways to fix the "Top 100."

As Microsoft takes over search development for Yahoo, at least 400 Yahoo employees will be shifting to Microsoft, and Yahoo will receive $50 million annually for the first three years of the 10-year deal to cover any unexpected costs during the switch to new technology. Transferring 400 workers to Microsoft would cut down Yahoo's current payroll by about three percent. Recently, Microsoft has been hiring former Yahoo executives but it has yet to do an en masse hiring. These details emerged in a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that elaborated on the agreement:
Microsoft will also pay Yahoo! a payment of $50 million annually during the first three (3) years of the Search Agreement. Yahoo! may use these payments to partially cover transition and implementation costs not otherwise covered under the Search Agreement.
Following the Commencement Date, Microsoft will hire not less than 400 Yahoo! employees (the "Transferred Employees") and will offer the Transferred Employees market competitive compensation packages. In addition, Yahoo! and Microsoft will mutually agree on a retention plan to be paid for by Microsoft to assist in retaining the Transferred Employees and an additional 150 Yahoo! employees to be mutually agreed upon between Microsoft and Yahoo! to assist with providing the transition services.
The transition is supposed to begin early next year, assuming that government regulators in the US and Europe approve the companies' proposed Internet search partnership, announced just last week. Even if regulatory approval is gained, however, there are still many ways that the deal could "terminate," according to the filing:
On the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date, Microsoft will have the option to terminate Yahoo!'s sales exclusivity for premium search advertisers.
Yahoo! may terminate the Search Agreement if the trailing 12-month average of the RPS in the United States of Yahoo! and Microsoft's combined queries falls below a specified percentage of Google Inc.'s ("Google") estimated RPS measured on a comparable basis or if the combined Yahoo! and Microsoft query market share in the United States falls below a specified percentage.
If a Termination Event occurs in the United States, the entire Search Agreement may be terminated. If a Termination Event does not occur in the United States a party's termination right is limited to the specific country or countries in which the event occurs.
In short, after five years the two companies can change who runs "premium sales" and Yahoo can terminate the deal if certain targets aren't meeting surrounding revenue per search, compared to Google's industry-leading rate. Unfortunately, the filing doesn't specify exactly how well Bing would need to perform against Google to justify a termination, or how close Microsoft has to come to Google's revenue per search.

Avery Blackwell
|Previous College:
|Cal Poly
|Assistant Coach
|Third Season
This is Avery Blackwell's third season as an assistant coach for the UC Santa Barbara track and cross country programs. Blackwell began his coaching career as a volunteer assistant at Santa Clara University where he worked with both the men¹s and women¹s track and field teams. The distance runners that he worked with set several records during the 2006 season. In 2004-05, Blackwell worked as the equipment manager for the cross country and track and field programs at Stanford. In 2004, he co-founded ALTITUDE Project, a Christian running camp for collegiate athletes, which he has directed for the past four summers in Mammoth Lakes, Calif. Blackwell is a very successful distance runner in his own right. He competed at Cal Poly from 1997-2002. In 1998 he finished fourth at the Big West Cross Country Championship, helping the Mustangs to their first-ever Big West team championship. In the spring of 1999, Blackwell placed first in the 10,000 meters at the league¹s track and field championships and the following fall, he finished fifth at the Big West cross country championships and helped Cal Poly to its first NCAA Championship meet. In 2000, Blackwell finished third at the Big West Track Championships in the 10,000 meters. The following fall, he placed sixth at the NCAA Western Regional Cross Country meet. In 2001, he had top-three finishes in both the 10,000 and the 5,000 meters at the league championship meet and he set a personal best of 29:22.64 in the 10,000 at the Mt. Sac Relays. In 2002, his final year of collegiate competition, Blackwell finished 3rd in the 10,000 and 4th in the 5,000 meters at the Big West Track and Field Championships. He also ran a personal best of 14:13.79 in the 5,000 at the Mt. Sac Relays. Blackwell continued his running career following his graduation from Cal Poly, competing for the Nike Farm Team for more than three years. In 2003, he was the top American finisher at the Bay to Breakers 12,000 meters in San Francisco with a time of 36:47. Blackwell also finished fifth in the Bridge to Bridge 12,000 meters in The City. In 2004, the San Luis Obispo native finished 23rd at the USA Cross Country Championships in the 12,000 meters and second at the Chinese New Year 5,000 in San Francisco. In his final year of competition, 2005, Blackwell finished among the top-three Americans at the Bay to Breakers and he finished fourth at the HP Up and Running 10,000 meters. Blackwell graduated from Cal Poly in 2002 with a degree in civil engineering. He worked as a staff engineer for Kennedy/Jenks Consultants in Palo Alto. Blackwell also worked for BSF Consulting Engineers in Canterbury, England before deciding that he wanted to return to coaching. Blackwell and his wife, Katie, reside in Goleta.

Although we may often think of college courses as a means to an end when working toward a specific degree or career, some college courses may be mostly for fun or personal interest. Colleges, universities and other educational institutions across the country are offering unique courses to add an extra dimension to their students' learning.
Lego Robotics
Not all courses at MIT are about space exploration or engineering. One offering at MIT focuses on the fun side of robotics. Students can take a course in building robots with Lego. This course can be taken as part of an MIT course load. For students not enrolled full-time at MIT, there are courses available on a special student basis, costing $650 per unit. Although this is a six-unit seminar, MIT's minimum cost for special students is $5,850 for the 2012-2013 academic year.
Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame
Considering how much Lady Gaga has been in the public eye for her outlandish behavior, there's little wonder why she's made her way into a number of college discussions. For a mere $1,200 ($3,150 for out-of-state students), you can learn all about the social issues related to Lady Gaga's career at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, S.C. Those studying at the University of Virgina also have the opportunity to learn about Gaga in a course titled, "GaGa for Gaga: Sex, Gender and Identity."
Kinky Crafts
Reed College, home to the famed course "Underwater Basket Weaving," which literally teaches how to weave baskets underwater (a term that was once only used to describe courses that were thought to have no practical application), has another unique offering. The school offers a course in kinky crafts, which teaches the art of making homemade leather cuffs and collars. The course has been touted as a less-expensive alternative to buying these expensive items. Kinky Crafts is offered as a part of Reed College's Paideia week, and is free for Reed College students, or available to the public for $5.
DJ History, Culture and Technique
Just in case you're stuck trying to decide between becoming a college graduate and pursuing that DJ career, now you can do both. New York University offers a four-credit course in DJ history and technique that allows students to study with world-class DJs. However, with a $4,636 enrollment fee, this exciting course offering is probably not a good choice for penny-pinching students.
Philosophy and Star Trek
Though Star Trek has been known to creep its way into a number of college courses, including those that teach the Klingon language, Georgetown University now offers a philosophy course that centers around this pop-culture icon. The course examines the plausibility of time travel, the future possibilities that await us in space, what defines a person and a number of other metaphysical explorations that Star Trek has examined. As a part of a 12-credit full-time course load at Georgetown, this three-credit course costs $5,115.
Theatrical Fencing
Since fencing just isn't theatrical enough to begin with, you can now study Theatrical Fencing at the University of Wisconsin's Madison campus. This one-credit physical education course will cost students $331 to $996, depending on whether they are out of state. The course teaches students the art of sword craft. Students are required to buy their own wooden swords to participate.
Nuthin' but a "G" Thang
Oberlin College's Experimental College offers a course in hip-hop music that examines the genre's evolution and impact on the music industry. Some of the artists studied include Tupac Shakur, Nas, the Wu-Tang Clan and Grandmaster Flash. Students are also encouraged to share some of their favorite musical works from the genre. Courses at Oberlin's Experimental College (or ExCo) change regularly, so you can always look for unique offerings that may actually count toward earning a degree.
Joy of Garbage
If you're currently studying at Santa Clara University and looking to spend $4,881, then you can learn all about garbage. Unique course title aside, this course actually has a valuable component to the green-minded student. Various social issues are addressed in this course, including the notion of sending garbage abroad, as well as the search for more sustainable solutions.
Mail-Order Brides of Southeast Asia
Everyone has probably heard of mail-order brides, but have you ever really considered what the cultural impact is on the countries that they hail from? John Hopkins University offers a unique anthropological study of mail-order brides and the cultural stereotypes that affect the women of Southeast Asia. This is a three-credit course, which comes with a price tag of about $4,277 at 2011/2012 fee schedule for visiting students, which charges $1,409 per credit.
The Bottom Line
There's no denying that part of the college experience is what you learn outside of the classroom. However, the wide range of courses available to students shows that there are plenty of unique learning opportunities available inside the classroom, too. Keep in mind that finding your dream job shouldn't be the only reason you pursue higher education. Learning about society and becoming a better-rounded individual should be part of the process as well.

A long fall for Gen. Petraeus
David Petraeus's reputation sparkled like the four stars that graced his epaulets — and it was his best weapon as he battled his way up the ranks and eventually to a prestigious civilian post as head of the Central Intelligence Agency.
When he pushed a counterinsurgency strategy for Iraq, President George W. Bush said yes. When he advised President Barack Obama to replicate the surge in Afghanistan, the new president overruled his own vice president and agreed. When Obama appointed Petraeus to run the CIA last year, the Senate confirmed him — 94 to nothing.
Story Continued Below
When fans floated his name as a potential presidential contender, Republicans reacted as if he'd win by acclamation.
( Also on POLITICO: 10 fast facts about Gen. Petraeus)
"His integrity is above reproach. And any suggestion to the contrary is totally absurd and demonstrably untrue," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a Senate floor speech in 2007 after the anti-war group Moveon.org took out an ad in The New York Times, asking "Gen. Petraeus or General Betray Us?" because of his steadfast support for the Iraq war.
So when Petraeus fell from grace Friday, the drop was a long one. It stunned the political world precisely because he was so widely regarded as the model modern soldier — a thinker in fatigues who married the daughter of the superintendent of his alma mater, West Point, and earned a Ph.D. at Princeton. But neither his reputation nor his career could survive the shock of the extramarital affair he revealed in resigning from his post — a decision that came under the pressure of an FBI investigation that threatened to make things even uglier, according to an intelligence community source who spoke to POLITICO on the condition of anonymity.
( See also: Gen. Petraeus's full resignation letter)
"Director Petraeus was encouraged to get ahead of it and take control of the situation because it would eventually come out," the source said.
It wasn't just other people who thought highly of Petraeus. His nickname — "King David" — was sometimes used by subordinates to mock his assessment of himself. He courted the press and catered to reporters who came to see real war in Iraq — and he was known for sending them autographed glossies of himself afterward. But few questioned his smarts, his talent, his honor or his dedication to his country.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama: My thoughts, prayers with Petraeus family)
NBC News and The Wall Street Journal reported Friday night that the FBI investigation stemmed from concerns that someone other than Petraeus was accessing his personal email. That probe eventually turned to whether his biographer, Paula Broadwell, or an associate of hers was logging on to his accounts, the news outlets reported.

Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder has named his team to play a midweek England team at AMI Stadium in Christchurch on Tuesday.
Packing down in the front row will be Tim Perry, Corey Flynn and Nepo Laulala. Prop Joe Moody has been named in the reserves for his first game since he broke his leg in last year's ITM Cup final.
Another prop, Siate Tokolahi, has been called into the squad for this game and will also take a place on the bench.
Joel Everson is set to make his Crusaders debut at lock alongside Jimmy Tupou, and another player called into the squad could make his debut if he comes off the bench – lock Scott Barrett, younger brother of All Black first five Beauden Barrett.
Flanker Matt Todd has been released by the All Blacks to join the team and will take a place in the reserves to provide cover for Whitelock brothers George and Luke and Jordan Taufua in the loose forwards.
Willi Heinz starts at halfback with Andy Ellis ready to add his valuable international experience from off the bench.
Tyler Bleyendaal at first five and Tom Taylor at fullback will be available to take any kicks at goal. Nafi Tuitavake and Johnny McNicholl will play on the wing and Kieron Fonotia has recovered from his hamstring strain to join Rey Lee-Lo in the midfield.
Hooker Ben Funnell and backs Adam Whitelock and Rob Thompson take the remaining spots on the bench.
Blackadder said there is a real feeling of excitement amongst the team about facing the England team at home. "This is such a special occasion for so many reasons and the team has been absolutely buzzing in the lead up to this game.
"For our players this is a great chance to pit themselves against one of the world's best international sides. For our fans, this will be a great spectacle and also a celebration of how far Christchurch has come.
"Local rugby fans were gutted when the earthquakes took away our opportunity to host England at the last Rugby World Cup, so it is fantastic to have the chance to host them now. We know the England team particularly wanted to make the effort to play in Christchurch while they were here and we are very grateful for that, "Blackadder said.

The Basics
- Score: VCU 71, UMass 62
- Records: VCU (26-7), UMass (21-11)
- Location: The Barclays Center - Brooklyn, N.Y.
- The Short Story: Senior Troy Daniels knocked down six 3-pointers and VCU's trademark HAVOC defense forced 24 turnovers as the Rams dropped sixth-seeded UMass, 71-62, to advance to Sunday's Atlantic 10 Championship game. Junior Juvonte Reddic notched his 11th double-double of the year with 18 points and 12 rebounds, while Briante Weber (11 pts) and Darius Theus (10 pts) also reached double-figures in scoring.
How It Happened
- The Minutemen came out firing and on the backs of Chaz Williams and Cady Lalanne held a 23-15 lead with 6:39 to play in the first half.
- Enter Daniels and Weber. Three straight treys from Daniels and a steal and monster dunk from Weber sent the roof off the Barclays Center and capped off an 11-0 run to give VCU a 26-23 cushion with 3:39 left in the stanza.
- The teams would trade buckets the final three-plus minutes, but a three-pointer from Theus with 24 seconds remaining sent VCU into the break with a 35-34 advantage.
- Reddic would turn it on in the second half and scored six of VCU's 10 points during a 10-2 run that stretched the Rams' lead to 54-44 with 10:04 left.
- Williams wouldn't let UMass go away quietly and his layup with 5:23 to play capped off a 12-4 run that brought the Minutemen within 58-56.
- However, a three-point play by Weber and a transition 3-pointer by Daniels quickly pushed that lead back to 64-56.
- UMass would not get closer than four the rest of the way and a trey by junior Rob Brandenberg with 1:21 to play proved to be the dagger that sent VCU into the A-10 Championship game.
Beyond the Boxscore
- Six 3-pointers by Daniels gives him 23 more than another other season in VCU history. His 117 rank fifth on the A-10's single-season list, just one away from Jimmy Barron (URI, 2008-09). He has hit a 3-pointer in 43 consecutive games.
- Twelve more steals for VCU increased its season total to 394, just six away from being the first squad in program history to reach 400 in a season.
- Since Coach Smart and his staff arrived in 2009, there has been six programs in the country to win 110 games or more. Those programs are Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, Ohio State, Syracuse and VCU.
- With six more assists for Weber, Theus and Weber would become the first teammates since Rolando Lamb (150) and Calvin Duncan (142) to tally 100 more assists in the same season. Lamb and Duncan accomplished their feat during the 1984-85 season.
Head Coach Shaka Smart
- "It was a hard‑fought game, and I'm proud of our guys that we were able to come out ahead, especially on a day where we did not shoot the ball particularly well. Some of our guys that typically shoot it in at a pretty good rate struggled, especially from outside, and even from around the basket. We found a way to get it done. I thought we got enough stops in the second half, holding them to 28 points. That was good enough to win, and that's what we need to do this time of year.
- "I'm proud of our guys, but we're not satisfied. We've got another game tomorrow in less than 24 hours. Excited about that challenge."
Senior Troy Daniels
- Credit goes to my coaching staff and my teammates. I get in the gym a lot during the off‑season, and they want me to shoot the ball. That's what I do. Shot discipline and stay with it, and the results will follow.
- It's a confidence thing. When guys go out on the court and have VCU across their chest, we feel like we can do anything. That's what it was. It wasn't a matter of thinking it's automatic, every time I shoot, I think it's going in, but it's just a confidence factor that I have.
Up Next
- VCU takes on top-seeded Saint Louis in the Atlantic 10 Championship on Sunday afternoon at the Barclays Center. Tip time is set for 1 p.m. on CBS.
