Elastic City's Final Festival
2016 will be monumental for us. Next summer, Elastic City will present our final festival and after that, there'll be a book for fans and future enthusiasts. The decision to wrap up Elastic City after next year's festival wasn't an easy one to make, but we feel it's the right one. 2016 will be our 7th year. The itch.
In thinking about the future, the options we saw were: that Elastic City continue with a new Executive and Artistic Director or that EC institutionalize within a museum or larger organization. Well, we're a small but strong org (grrr) but we don't have the financial infrastructure to pay an ED and Artistic Director a livable wage. If we joined a larger organization, it'd provide more financial security but would compromise the urgency, form and presentation of the work. One reason we started making walks outside was so we didn't have to answer to anyone other than you, the public.
But above all, we feel like Elastic City has met its mission and has explored this form well. We've developed a method. This is a project in poetry, really, and we're gonna go out with a celebration. I ain't saying how just yet.
Our Associate Artistic Director Niegel Smith will take the baton, gild it a bit and present walks and other participatory work as part of his job as Artistic Director at the Flea Theater. Willing Participant will soldier on! I'll continue to lead walks, give workshops on the form, etc, but I'll also start new projects.
As I see it, EC has been incredibly rewarding—for me and for the artists and audiences involved. Since 2010, we have produced and presented over 125 original works. We've expanded the way in which thousands of people experience their everyday. But now's not the moment to tout what we've done.
We're raising $15,000 to help pay the artists well and offset production costs for 2016. Please click here to donate to our final year-end campaign. All donors will receive early registration sign-up. This past summer's walks filled up on the day we announced!
With a donation of $30, we'll mail a photograph of your choice. I shot them while traveling. The first 200 donors who give over $50 will receive a limited edition print by Agi Morawska that commemorates our 2016 festival.
I hope you'll join us in supporting our seventh year.

Walk (On Ecstasy) With Me

This following text was presented by Ryan Tracy as part of the "Politics of the Walk" talk on September 28, 2014 at Pratt Institute; co-presented with Pratt's MFA in Writing.
"Walk (On Ecstasy) With Me: Elastic City Walks and The Politics of Participation" by Ryan Tracy
Elastic City intends to make its audience active participants in an ongoing poetic exchange with the places we live in and visit. Elastic City
It should be clear to us by now that walking, in its many forms, is undoubtedly caught up within many political vectors of power as well as the struggles that emerge in and against forces of political and social oppression. I would like to use my time here to give attention to "participation" as one facet of "the walk" that seems to vex easy attempts at attributing a positive ethical, political and aesthetic value to the walk in its collective form. I take Elastic City's intention to "make" its audiences "active" in their participation seriously. And for some time now, I have obsessed over Todd's notion of "poetic exchange." I have a sense that the terms together—active participation and poetic exchange—do some alchemical work on each other. In what follows, I hope to get a little way into figuring out what that work is and what it might say about the work Todd, and Elastic City, are doing.
I would like to come at the politics of the participatory walk from a queer trajectory; specifically in relation to the terms of participation. What enabled us to come here? What are the terms of address that occasion our collective formation? Were we called here? And if so, who called us? How did they call us? Might we have come here by another call? And if so, how might a different call bring to our being here together new meanings? In short, how did we become this we? In what follows, I will use queer insights about the politics of participation alongside José Esteban Muñoz's notion of queer collectivity in order to explore how we might think of the walk, as imagined by Elastic City, as a political performance of queer participation.
One of the things I have come to love about queer theory is that it demonstrates a rather earnest categorical ambivalence toward the politics of participation. "Participation" becomes a site for struggle in queer theory primarily because identifying and critiquing compulsory social norms (e.g. "compulsory heterosexuality") has been central to explaining the ways that queers are produced, marginalized and punished in a given cultural context, but so has devising political strategies that must on some level take the shape of social, collective movements. I have no intention of resolving this ambivalence. In fact, its ambivalence is no doubt one of the things that makes queer theory such a vital tool for social critique.
This tension was put under the microscope in 2005 at an MLA panel discussion titled "The Antisocial Thesis in Queer Theory," where Lee Edelman, Jack Halberstam, Tim Dean and José Muñoz faced off on the subject. At stake was whether or not queer theory would be thought of as a theory about individual refusals to participate in normative cultural projects, or, in contrast, if queer theory was a theory that sought out ways for queers to form collective social movements that would counter dominant cultural forces.
One of the more poignant arguments for the latter was offered by Muñoz, an argument he would go on to elaborate in 2011's Cruising Utopia, is that a politics of individual refusals will ultimately benefit only those queers who already have the best chance of participating in individualist, capitalist, racist, sexist culture: "gay white men." To be clear, the intervention Muñoz was offering cannot be reduced to the flippant argument that gay white men do not face serious struggles, nor that homophobia itself wasn't a pernicious and persistent social phenomena, but, rather, that much of the queer theoretical work up until that point had the tendency to promote an anti-relational (i.e. anti-social), individualist politics of the negative. Muñoz's impassioned critique of anti-relational queer politics is that they were grounded upon a denial of the ways that race and class imbricate with the politics of sexuality. Thus, the resources that might support a rugged gay individualist survival (i.e. money, maleness and whiteness) are not available to those queers who are likely to have the least advantages or protections in our society. In other words, anti-relational politics held almost no future promise for queers of color, queer women and trans people.
Muñoz offered collectivity as a necessary, urgent alternative to an anti-relational queer politics because it turns central queer principles (anti-normalization, anti-homophobia, antisexism, anti-capitalism) into loci of affinity from which queer social movements can be launched and broadened. Thus, participation, in Muñoz's imagination, is not merely an option (or opposition) between group participation in compulsory social norms or individually rejecting those norms. Muñoz's formulation of queer refusal as a collective rejection of oppressive social norms restructures the terms of participation into a queer, social form. But what keeps this queer collectivity queer? While drawing socially affective affinities between marginalized groups and individuals was at the heart of Muñoz's project, so was an insistence on the crucial role of individual, critical self-reflection in the shaping and embodying of queer refusals (thinking here the chapter "Just Like Heaven" in Cruising Utopia). One key element that hovers around Muñoz's queer collectivity is the gesture of invitation, a gesture that, in my reading, is crucial to keeping collective social projects queer.
I'd like to suggest that the form of collective participation that Muñoz is suggesting, one that is neither violently compulsory nor hubristically antisocial—one that is queer—must include the gesture of invitation. In the closing chapter of Cruising Utopia, Muñoz shares with us the song "Take Ecstasy with Me" by The Magnetic Fields. The song, like its title announces, is an invitation. "The Magnetic Fields are asking us to perform a certain stepping out with them," Muñoz writes. This stepping out, according to Muñoz, is specifically a stepping out of "straight time," of "the here and now," of what he termed the pragmatic politics of the present, in favor of a potential future that awaits those who are willing to accept the invitation. "That stepping out," Muñoz continues, "hopefully would include a night out on the town, but it could and maybe should be something more." What I want to argue here, is that the gesture of the invitation, for Muñoz, is crucial to initiating collective projects that will be utopian and not risk falling into the blunt, instrumentalizing moves of pragmatic political thinking. If our social movements, our stepping out together, are to retain their queer utopian promise, then they must be attended by a queer invitation, a hopeful, playful gesture that signals our suspicion that there is more to this street we are walking along than the straight time trajectory from-home-to-work-and-back-again, and that intimates our willingness to step out of ourselves and into elsewheres that must be there. "Take ecstasy with me," Muñoz says, "thus becomes a request to stand out of time together, to resist the stultifying temporality and time that is not ours, that is saturated with violence both visceral and emotional, a time that is not queerness...Taking ecstasy with one another is an invitation, a call to a then and there, a not-yet-here."
I would like to conclude by arguing that Elastic City's desire for participation, and its calls for an "ongoing poetic exchange," is just such a queer invitation; a hopeful, winking, open gesture to step onto the street together, and in doing so, to step out of the "stultifying" presumptions of the dominant political, economic, and social logics that strive to overdetermine our experience of walking in public. The collective walk imagined by Elastic City neither rejects all forms of participation (although it will reject some), nor does it naively exclude individual subjective experience or reflection (in fact, it depends on them). Rather, the poetic exchange that Elastic City offers, or invites, is one in which the putting into motion of bodies in public spaces is rethought, reimagined, re-performed and rehearsed, so that whatever we thought the street was, is or could be, is radically eschewed—vacated—clearing a ground to move differently in the world, and, in doing so, to re-make the world according to a queerer set of coordinates; that is, to actualize a world that insists on always becoming other than what we are told it should be.
"Cruising Utopia can ultimately be read as an invitation," Muñoz concluded about his own work. One might read Elastic City's walks similarly. I certainly do. Yet it will be important to remember that, as speech acts, all invitations are at risk of failing. It is, no doubt, anxiety about such failure that fuels individual as well as institutional desires to set up and enforce regimes of compulsory participation. Resisting this impulse to compulsorize participation is not an easy task. But, if we are to insist on making and inhabiting worlds that overcome the paranoid logics of coercion, and if bringing about these worlds means devising and launching collective acts of political resistance that will require the participation of many, of ourselves and others, then it is a risk we must seductively, repeatedly, invite.

Sur Rodney (Sur) writes about his research for "Favorites"
No Chicken's, No Foul: In consideration of George Segal's Sculptures in Sheridan Square Park
I received an e-mail from Sarah Schulman wherein she writes: "We are doing a performance, a "walk" through the generational divide in the queer West Village. The piece is called "Favorites" - we are asking three people of my generation and three younger people to tell the group - their favorite thing in the neighborhood that is gone. And, their favorite thing in the neighborhood that is still here...They know you of course…Would you be willing to be one of the speakers? It's set up so that you pick a location either where your place is (or was) and we bring the group to meet you there. Then you tell us about both the lost and still existent favorite places for about fifteen minutes."
The West Village spot I chose that is gone, was Keller's, a bar on the West Side Highway first established as the Knickerbocker Hotel and Salon in the early 1900s. I was a flaneur on the Lower East Side but would also be an occasional flaneur in the West Village beginning in the 1970s. Keller's was remarked on as the birthplace of Disco in the early 1970s, for having the Village People photographed in front of the bar for an album cover. By the mid to late 1980′s Keller's catered more to a Latino and African-American clientele, renown amongst the swell of black gay legends in the literary world at that time, and would finally close in 1998, after HAART the AIDS cocktail arrived. The building was land-marked on November 14, 2006 by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. How much of the history of its patronage has been preserved? What stories might I have had to tell?
As plans for the walk progressed, the organizers realized that Keller's was too far off of the path for the walk. The re-route was more likely to end at Sheridan Square Park, site of the George Segal sculptures. I was asked if I wouldn't mind speaking to the group there. In my ever-conciliatory manner, I agreed. Being art worldly, my familiarity with the sculptor resuscitated my curiosity. What meaning could I bring to these sculptures for the occasion? What history do they have to tell? And how does that story bear on what they represent? The ghostliness of the sculptures seem to have been a prediction for what they would represent in the future -- ghosts of the past. The controversy around the proposal surprised me once I learned of its nature. I'll speak to that at the end of my story, reclaiming and addressing what many of us know to be true.
In June 2011, following the passage by the New York state legislature of the Marriage Equality Act, Art & Antiquities director, Jonathan Kuhn, heard from Leslie Cohen, who with Beth Suskind, her partner of more than 35 years, posed for the female figures in Segal's sculptures. Their picture was taken with the sculpture at the dedication in 1992.
The Models: Leslie Cohen and Beth Suskind met in Buffalo College, a teacher's college in 1965 on the first day of their freshman year. A close relationship they developed at first, would scare them and they would drift apart. Leslie, after graduation, moved back to NYC to study art history at Queens College. By chance, through a mutual friend, Leslie would be reintroduced to Beth, in 1976 more than a decade after they first met. This reintroduction would happen sometime after Leslie had been living in New York. While studying art history at Queens Collage, Leslie would befriend John (a gay man) and be introduced to his friend David, an artist who threw parties in his loft on Canal Street. David's then partner, Manuel was an assistant at the Sidney Janis gallery, which represented some of the leading artists of the time: Claes Oldenburg, Ellsworth Kelly, and George Segal. David would become one of the two standing male figures in the Segal sculptures. Leslie and Beth would be models for the two-seated women, so we know for certain how 3 of the 4 figures identify.
The Sculptor: George Segal was an artist I became familiar with as he was good friends' with the FLUXUS family, a family of artists experimenting with the boundaries of what art could be beginning in the late 1950s. Knowing of this association made him more interesting than what his sculptures revealed. George Segal began his art career adventure as a figurative painter working in an expressionistic manner before coming to his renown with the Pop Art movement with his sculptures. Segal was born in New York, his Jewish parents were immigrants from Eastern Europe. His parents ran a butcher shop in the Bronx, then moved to a poultry farm in New Jersey where Segal grew up. In 1946 he married Helen and they bought another chicken farm in South Brunswick, where he lived for the rest of his life.
Segal only ran the chicken farm for a few years, and began using the space to hold annual picnics for his friends from the New York art world. His location in central New Jersey also led to a friendship with Allan Kaprow in Rutgers University's art department, one of the faculty renown for his germinal associations with the controversial FLUXUS group. Segal was said to have introduced several Rutgers professors to the experimental composer John Cage, which to me seems unlikely. Segal had a close relationship with Allan Kaprow, with whom he also shared a affinity as a Jew, Kaprow's father was a Rabbi. Kaprow was a painter, assemblagist and a pioneer in establishing the concepts of performance art. He helped to develop the "Environment" and "Happenings" to describe art events that took place on Segal's farm in the spring of 1957. He's also credited with developing their theory. In 1958, Kaprow published the essay "The Legacy of Jackson Pollock". In it he calls for a "concrete art" made of everyday materials such as "paint, chairs, food, electric and neon lights, smoke, water, old socks, a dog, movies."
Knowing George Segal had only visited John Cage's class at the New School that Kaprow attended, it was more likely that Kaprow would have introduced Segal to Cage. The American conceptual artist and Avant Garde composer George Brecht, born George Ellis MacDiarmid, also attended the classes. Brecht, who became great friends with Kaprow, would be, as I see it, an essential link for George Segal turning from a figurative expressionistic painter to creating his plaster casts that he became celebrated for.
Why body plaster-casting bandages? George Brecht was one of the originators of 'participatory' art, in which the artwork can only be experienced by the active involvement of the viewer, he is most famous for his Event Scores such as Drip Music 1962, and is widely seen as an important precursor to conceptual art. Brecht was also a chemist who worked for Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, who had headquarters in New Brunswick New Jersey, close to Rutgers University. Johnson & Johnson had developed a body plaster-casting bandage material that was made available for artists hoping to raise the corporations profile in the arts. Providing George Segal with a local source for him to begin to produce his own tableaux using this white plaster bandage material that has me thinking of their contrast to Kaprow's two memorable crudely rendered figures expressionistically covered in black tar exhibited at the Hansa gallery in the late 1950s -- one looking like a Venus of Willendorf and the other, a male figure with an oversized erect penis – preceded Segal's first experiments. The rawness of the material would now be understood as there was a language in art to support it -- discussions around Kaprows "concrete art" and around Cage silence, helped tremendously.
So here we have George Brecht one of the originators of 'participatory' art, and widely seen as an important precursor to conceptual art as an animateur in having George Segal come to acquiring an abundance of plaster bandage material to create work that would eventually launch his career as a Pop Artist. Some of Segal's more noteworthy The Holocaust (1982) in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, The Commuters (1982) in New York's Port Authority Bus Terminal, were dedicated a decade prior to this tableaux in Sheridan Square Park and 3 years later the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, DC. (1995) would appear.
The Commisioner: Peter Putnam (1927-1987) a trustee and founder of the Mildred Andrews Fund, a private operating foundation that funded higher education and art, with an emphasis on sculpture, approached Segal, who apparently was not the first artist approached. Will we ever know who the other's were? Peter's mother Mildred Andrew Putnam, drew national attention after commissioning a sculpture by George Segal commemorating the 1970 slayings of 4 Kent State Univ. students by the Ohio National Guard. Kent State refused the gift of the $100,000 controversial artwork, entitled Abraham and Isaac and Putnam would donate it to Princeton University instead. But this deal would be different. What ever politics circumstances came into play, we may never know, however we do know that Segal accepted the commission which stipulated only that the work "had to be loving and caring, and show the affection that is the hallmark of gay people . . . and it had to have equal representation of men and women." The established framework and support within the arts and the development of Pop Art supported a language that helped establish his sculptures into the canon of art history at the time, making him a likely candidate for this commission, and easier to market.
The figures, cast in 1980, received all of its community and design approvals in 1982. However, it would not be installed until the following decade amid political controversy much of it swirling around race and representation. "The sculptures were too white" was one claim. They were not a representation of the true history of gay liberation or the participants at Stonewall. On June 23rd 1992, the city's first black Mayor David Dinkins and Parks Commissioner Betsy Gotbaum helped unveil the monument in Christopher Park. The initial opposition and rancor that had greeted the project had subsided; the advent of AIDS, which had devastated the gay community in particular, added a more somber dimension to the monument and its "mute" figures.
Now let's get real--the erasure of black and brown bodies from most revolutionary histories in the U.S. is not new, and ongoing. The criticism that the sculptures are "too white" I find laughable, if they were painted black or brown would it make any real difference to how they are seen? These sculptures were meant to be a representation of same-sex relationships, period. The race of their representation not clearly in evidence, so what is really being questioned here? How can one assign race to these bronze figures as they appear? They are representations of human bodies with no defined race. To create controversy around this fact while the black and brown bodies so evident in the Village, then and now, are continually marginalized and treated as other, throwing mud at this sculpture seems misplaced.
In the gay village, black and brown bodies are appreciated for their entertainment and fetishized value mostly, and have usually found themselves persona non grata in many of the establishments that served the gay clientele in the Village. The Village then a haven for the gay community has never really taken up the cause for the plight and treatment of the black and brown bodies in their midst and rarely invited them to the table when concerns of the "gay community" are redressed. We've had to make our own.
The micro-aggressions we are confronted with in many of these establishments back then are no less today than they were back then. They've just been normalized. We had bars that at times felt open to us while many others did not welcome our presence. We made spaces for ourselves in places like Keller's and Peter Rabbit's then, I've been told, and bars like the Hanger today. Chi Chiz, seen as way too black and in your face "thuggish" was forced out. Exhausted by legal battles and ongoing police harassment, at the behest of scared white neighbors, forced them to finally close their doors in January 2011. A quick Google search on controversy at Chi Chiz brings me to http://www.queerty.com/nyc-bar-chi-chiz-says-goodbye-20101217, wherein I read comments like "Should have left it open, as said in a previous comment now they're all going to move into one of the other bars!" and "BTW, don't think that they won't come for the other bars in the West Village too. They won't be happy until an area that has always been historically gay is completely whitewashed." The battles of then continue today but now have a name and an organized front. What of the ongoing fights with FIERCE? An LGBTQ youth of color-led organization building leadership, political consciousness, and organizing skills of youth of color between the ages of 13-24, they organize around local grassroots campaigns to fight police harassment and violence and increased access to safe public space for LGBTQ youth fighting for their right to share the public space on the Christopher Street Piers.
When I look at these sculptures in Sheridan Square Park, I see nothing that speaks to the history of a once gay village neighborhood specifically. Presently staged, in an openly shared public space, a tableau of George Segal's sculptural figures quietly rests in one area of a garden park, presenting 2 same sexed couples', wrapped in white body plaster-casted bandages and bronzed, one couple seated, the other standing, neither having anything to do with chickens.

nice harvest! I'm trying to grow mache in a cold frame this winter.
I'm going to have to remember to start a similar thread in May to get the goat of our friends in the southern hemisphere!
Actually we have been experiencing the most amazing Indian Summer here in Michigan. Today the temp was 68F, with bright but gentle sunlight from low in the southern sky. The gaudy orange, yellow and red leaves are almost finished, but the warm dry weather is lingering on.
"Think Outside the Cage"
We had a fair garden this past summer. Amazingly, we're still getting quite a bit of okra, which is mainly a hot weather plant. What's growing well now is lettuces, broccoli, and spinach. Next spring will be the third year for our asparagus patch and we're looking forward to finally getting a decent amount now that it's established.
Webshots is bailing out, if you find any of my posts with corrupt picture files and want to see them corrected please let me know. :(

My homesteading accomplishments this year were more in the kitchen than in the garden. Some vegetables simply thrive here and there's nothing I can do to stop them. The rest, well, no matter what I try there's nothing that helps very much.
So in the garden I'm doing what's easy, also experimenting to discover what else might be easy. I mixed a lot of different seeds together and planted them randomly in different places. Spinach took over in one place, and beets in another place, for example. I look at stuff like that and ponder the mysteries and try to figure it all out.
By then my new & improved aquaponics system will be up and running so hopefully I'll be posting pics of the winter veggies and freshwater fish & crustaceans I'll be harvesting

Part 2 of Drones at Liberty: Our conversation continues to explore the meaning of drones–drones as instruments of war and policing, drones in the public imaginary, drones as extensions of state and/or human will–all topics under examination at the recent IU Symposium on Drone Warfare.

Interchange – Innovation Is Nothing New: Novelty in the Middle Ages
Popular models of innovation (including buzzwords such as "creative destruction" or "disruptive innovation") prize getting rid of anything that's old. But some folks are starting to reimagine innovation in different terms: as reusing, recycling, refurbishing, sampling, or updating the old. In her new book, The Medieval New, Patricia Ingham shows that creative models combining old AND new have a long …Read More »

Support from players for Médecins Sans Frontières saves lives in South Sudan.
20 January 2011
Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust helps inner-city asylum seekers get to grips with nature
Our charity partner, the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, think everyone should have the chance to enjoy the Yorkshire countryside.
Money raised by our players gave a group of refugees and asylum seekers the opportunity to swap the inner-city for the great outdoors recently.
The women, who use the Solace support service in Leeds, spent the day at Lower Whinskill Farm. The trip was part of the YDMT People and the Dales project. Felt-maker Andrea Hunter showed the women how to create pictures inspired by their visit.
Solace provides free counselling and advocacy to survivors of persecution and exile. For many, it was their first opportunity to get out of the inner-city and explore the English countryside.
One of the women said: "It was great getting out of the city. The fresh air made me feel alive."
Our players have raised over £147,258 for the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust to date.
That money is being used to:
Run countryside apprenticeships
Help people from towns and cities experience the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.
Fund sustainable development projects
Recruit community wardens to protect the environment
Improve quality of life for both current and future generations.

Lost 1 tank i dont want to lose another..
I lost a 29 gallon tank 2 months or so back... out of 6 Yellow Labs, 1 Farawella Cat, and a Common Pleco i have 1 yellow lab and the pleco...
Now in my 55 gallon i c signs of this fungus on my african butterfly fish... i had a peice of drift wood that looked funny in the tank for about 30 minutes... what happened is i put it in... came back half hour later and found it with a cloudy coat of something on it so i took it out.. would this have caused this?
I treated the tank with antifungal medicine that i know is effective from a conversation with herefishy about 6-7 months ago. i removed all carbon... would u have any idea of what this could be? (i had seen it in a 10 gallon as well and got rid of it at the same time as the 29...)
If I were to guess, and this is a guess, I would imagine that the piece ofdriftwood has been in contactr with some toxic insecticide or herbicide. This is just a guess, mind you, but I have heard and read of such occurances with a mold, fungus, happening in other's tanks.
I remember a member in a club I belong to having a similar problem some years back. Others concluded that this was the only possibility. I have to, somewhat, agree with them. All other possibilities had been systematically eliminated.
Remove the driftwood, and begin daily 50% water changes. Do not sweep the gravel. Try to preserve as much of the bacteria bed as possible. Filter heavily with carbon, changing the media every couple of days. May or may not help, but the carbon should remove the toxins if chemical based.
ah i think i just relized what might have done this and i think i may have made a huge mistake...
This wood was in with my Ball Python.
My Python got mites i treated everything in the tank switched him out tanks and this dirft wook sat with other decor from the python tanks in a garbage bag for 3 weeks after being sprayed with mite off.. although this was perfectly safe for my snake could this be the cause? if so i have another peice of would to dig out...

Searching logfiles with tail, grep, and company
If your hardware or software goes on strike, or the graphical system or your Internet connection fail, checking the logfiles can often be a big help. In this month's column, we will look at the command-line tools that can help you scour the depths of these critical files.
Kernel messages, user logins or log offs, network processes, and many other events are logged meticulously by the Linux system. The Linux system's logging system goes by the name of syslogd (or syslog-ng, "Syslog New Generation" on SUSE Linux); the system logger is a daemon, which is started at system boot time. All log files are stored in the folder /var/ log/ and its subdirectories .
With just a couple of exceptions, most of these protocol files are protected from prying eyes and only readable by the system administrator. To view the files, you can use KDE's file manager, Konqueror, for example, in system administration mode. To do so, pop up a quick starter by pressing Alt+F2 and type kdesu konqueror, then type the root password after the prompt.

Chrome Clone Alpha on Linux
Iron, a privacy clone of the Chrome Google browser, is now released in its first test version on Linux.
Iron is based on Chrome code, but unlike the Google browser, personal data is better protected. It won't create unique user IDs and doesn't send address lists to Google. The SRWare software firm first released the clone in September 2008 under BSD license, originally for Windows. The SRWare project download page now includes an alpha version for Linux.
The update notice in the SRWare forums says, "The download now contains Iron for Linux 3.0.197 and introduces some improvements like a nearly complete options dialog and Flash support. To enable Flash you have to start Iron for Linux with --enable-plugins as a parameter." Developers thoughtfully warn, however, that some instabilities still exist. The stable Windows version of 3.0.197, based on Chromium 3, was announced August 8.

Our Morning Roundup: Play Ball Edition
JDLand has her own thoughts on the allegedly slow development around Nationals Park (including both Southeast and Southwest sides). She uses the Post's archives to make the point that the MCI Center didn't exactly create instant redevelopment. [She doesn't use those same archives to chart all the failed promises city leaders have made concerning Nationals Park; nor does she use those same archives to chart how much money the city has dumped into the project].
Another argument she could have made: The problem with all the civic boosters behind Nationals Park is that they are having to sell one of the ugliest pieces of city real estate. The MCI Center was built in a downtown neighborhood with obvious strengths that Nationals Park does not have. MCI Center had Chinatown, MLK Library and other civic destination spots like say the old DCRA building (ha), the courthouses, and police headquarters. Nationals Park was built in a decimated spot with almost zero charm. Anyway, I posted my two cents on the subject yesterday.
Misadventures in D.C. folds up its blog, blames Twitter and Facebook (like real media people!). They write: "The weird thing, of course, is that blogging now seems... well, so QUAINT. So old-fashioned, this idea of taking the time to construct paragraphs of text, telling a story, fleshing out an idea or thought through the process of writing about it. We've been reduced to brief one-sentence status updates (or worse, in the case of Twitter: 140 characters). It's easier to stay in touch than ever before. Yet our communication becomes more superficial with each sign of 'progress.'"

And Now, Anacostia gives its blessing to Cherry Blast.
Bureaucrat310 mourns the crowding of Ben's Chili Bowl now that they've spotted tour buses parked outside the D.C. institution. There's tension between the old men and the tourists:
"I was at Ben's Chili Bowl last night with an out-of-town friend who wanted to "visit the place where Obama eats." It was 2am, crowded and loud! I sat at the counter next to an elderly black man and about three or four of his buddies. Yes, an old guy out past 2am! We'd already ordered as a white college-aged man started shouting his order behind me. The man, for some unknown reason, stuck his arm in between me and the elderly black man to rest his hand on the counter. He accidentally brushed against the black man who did not enjoy being touched – a small argument ensued..."

Beef Tenderloin with Roasted Asparagus and Red Onion Vinaigrette
To be clear, all I bought were cookbooks. Dozens and dozens of cookbooks. That was the end of the 1900's and nothing could stop me from entering the new millennium with a truckload of cookbooks that would take me another thousand years to go through them.

The tenderloin was perfectly cooked and paired so good with roasted asparagus.ReplyDelete
My hubby and boys would swoon over this meal! If I have time, I'll make it during Thanksgiving week, when Nick is home :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I hope they like it, though I thought you wouldn´t have fresh asparagus at this time of yearDelete
Wow does this look incredible. That tenderloin looks melt-in-your-mouth. And asparagus - it's just cruel - we won't have fresh asparagus on this side of the globe for months. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, I had to wait ages for them to appear while looking at gorgeous pics everywhere... now it´s my turn, jaja!Delete
Everything looks amazing!ReplyDelete
Wow, Paula! This looks and sounds wonderful!ReplyDelete
Paula, I haven't visited your new Site so I have some catching-up to do. It's beautifully designed and easy to read. Now it's our turn to be envious. I thought I'd eaten my fill of asparagus but your roasted asparagus looks so delicious. Miss it. It's Winter here and very cold, even though I am back in Nevada. Charlie Trotter was a hot comodity in Chicago and, since I am a Midwestern girl as well as foodie, I also kept up with his career. Did you know he closed his restaurant in early September 2012 and is getting ready to auction off his extraordinary wine cellar. After 25 years, he seems to want to move on. Don't blame him.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Mary! and yes I had read it closed, can´t believe how many years went by...!Delete
Oh my goodness! This looks amazing, Paula!!! :)ReplyDelete
wow! that is one delicious meal!ReplyDelete
have you tried using this vinaigrette on other things like salads? i am curious to try that...hmmmm... :)Replies
I have some left and was thinking the same thing last night. I definitely will try it with other dishes!Delete
Oh goodness - the boyfriend would love this! He is going to be through the roof when I make this for him!ReplyDelete
I don't know who Charlie Trotter is, but I adore asparagus - so this dish appeals to me. Looks great.ReplyDelete

Dr. Seuss' classic 1957 picture book The Cat in the Hat comes to life in a new way in an iOS and Android ebook/app version from Oceanhouse Media. In 1957, Theodore Geisel changed children's books forever with the publication of The Cat in the Hat under the name Dr. Seuss. This now classic story did more to merely entertain kids. It included 225 early reader words, and through rhyme and repetition, has delighted generations of young and emergent readers.
This app gives you the story in three modes: Read to Me, in which the narrator reads the story and the reader moves the story along by swiping his finger to turn the pages; Read it Myself, which has sound effects but no narrator or highlighting of words; and Auto Play, which allows the book to play through for the child to follow along. Each of these is appropriate for the different levels of the learning and reading process.
There are lots of things to explore, as well, as kids touch the different pictures and see the words associated with them. Kids also have the option to make their own recording of the story and choose that as the narration for Auto Play.
We really like the reproduction of the original artwork, the gentle pace of the story, and that it puts the user in charge of the experience. Tapping the pictures to see their words takes advantage of the way kids naturally play with apps without getting in the way of the story. This is an excellent companion to the printed book (and we think a lot of families will want both), and it's very well done. For the most part, the navigation is intuitive and kids and adults will quickly learn how to get around in the app and have a new way of experiencing this exceptional story that combines action, adventure, naughtiness, and just enough of a moral lesson about cleaning up after yourself.
The Cat in the Hat is for ages 3-6.
We do wish you could exit the Auto Play mode without having to hit the home button on the iPad, but that's a very small complaint.
This app is compatible with iOS and Android devices.

Tacoma — Zyion Houston-Sconiers and Treson Roberts robbed Tacoma trick-or-treaters of 96 pieces of candy, a cellphone and a devil mask last Halloween.
It couldn't have been worth it.
On Friday, Pierce County Superior Court sentenced the teens to prison terms of 31 and 26 years, respectively, for the robbery spree.
And it could have been worse.
Prosecutors recommended to Judge John Hickman that neither teen be sentenced for their underlying crimes — multiple counts of robbery — but serve only the mandatory sentencing enhancements for using a gun during the crimes.
"The rationale for this recommendation is based simply on the state's assessment that a 42-to-45-year sentence for Houston-Sconiers and a 37-to-40-year sentence for Roberts is perhaps excessive, although reasonable people could differ," deputy prosecutor Gregory Greer wrote in a sentencing memorandum.
Greer's decision, and Hickman's acceptance of it, saved both defendants about 10 years in prison.
Deputy prosecutor Jesse Williams argued Friday the defendants still deserved a lengthy prison term.
"These are extremely serious and egregious crimes," Williams told Hickman. People feared for their lives that night because the defendants decided to rob them, the deputy prosecutor said.
Prosecutors argued at trial that Houston-Sconiers, 18, and Roberts, 17, were among a group of teens who held up four groups of trick-or-treaters during 78 minutes of Halloween night 2012. The robbers brandished a .22-caliber pistol, police said.
Two co-defendants escaped prosecution when they agreed to testify against Houston-Sconiers and Roberts. A fifth defendant pleaded guilty in juvenile court to robbery.
Houston-Sconiers was 17 when arrested and Roberts 16, but prosecutors decided to try them as adults.
Last month, a jury convicted them of multiple counts of robbery and assault, and, importantly, found that they'd been armed with a gun while committing those crimes. Mandatory gun sentencing enhancements attached to those convictions totaled 372 months for Houston-Sconiers and 312 months for Roberts.
Defense attorney Barbara Corey, who represented Houston-Sconiers, accused prosecutors of piling on charges and the related gun enhancements after her client decided to go to trial.
Houston-Sconiers apologized for his actions that night, saying he was sorry he scared the victims and let down his friends and family.
"I messed up," he told Hickman. "I'm here to take responsibility and ask for your mercy."
Defense attorney Chip Mosley, who represented Roberts, then took his turn.
Mosley, too, bemoaned the fact that the law gives judges no discretion when it comes to imposing gun sentencing enhancements. He argued that his client was not one of the prime actors during the robberies and that 26 years seemed like a long time for a hanger-on.
Roberts spoke briefly and apologized to the victims.
Hickman said he was sympathetic to a degree but that there was nothing he could do but accept Greer's recommendation.
Still, he said, Houston-Sconiers and Roberts used a gun to rob "innocent minor children of Halloween candy and cellphones." Their actions further eroded society's sense of well-being and added an element of fear to a childhood rite — trick-or-treating on Halloween — that should be a time of fun, he said.

No more public incentives for blighted properties?
I hope you've been following the City Hall coverage by William Crum. Tuesday was a particularly challenging day for him, I imagine, with a packed council docket to follow. One of the council's actions, creating a registry of blighted properties with the next step of charging monthly assessments on the owners.
The city's real estate community showed up and protested. They argued that insurance requirements and current code already addressed such concerns. Read Bill's coverage of the debate here.
Ladies and gentlemen, I will present you with photos and information on two large historic industrial properties on the west end of downtown that are just a couple blocks away from each other. You then decide if all was fair and equal when it comes to owners of blighted buildings.
First, I present to you the Hart Building. It is slightly over 20,000 square feet. It was renovated by developer Chip Fudge and is now home to multiple firms, KOSU radio, deadCENTER Film Center and the sandwich shop Chopt.
The 2013 property tax bill for the Hart building, 720 W Sheridan, was $17,716. The fully occupied building is not a magnet for crime, not a danger to the public, and has helped revitalize the neighborhood. It combats crime by putting people on the street. The property taxes go to schools, libraries, county and city government.
Now, our next property is the former Sunshine Laundry and Cleaners, which spans 17,000 square feet.
The old Sunshine Laundry has been subject to fire and police calls. The condition of the building has remained virtually unchanged for 20 years under the same family's ownership. They've been approached by multiple parties with purchase offers for redevelopment. At one time the property was even eyed as a potential new home for Coop Ale Works.
Which property demands more attention from police and fire?
Now, recall how the owners of the Hart Building were assessed more than $17,000 in property taxes.
Guess how much the owners of the Sunshine building were assessed in property taxes? Think it's more because of the extra demand of resources and its blight on the area? Heck no!
Owners of the Sunshine Laundry were assessed $1,533 in property taxes.
To all those who showed up to protest the blighted property registry Tuesday, I ask, how is this fair? How does this represent an acceptable situation? Why should the Sunshine Laundry owners be given the incentive – yes an incentive – to not improve their property?
The city council was not swayed by the protests. They passed the registry ordinance unanimously. Read Bill's coverage here and here and here and here.

Health officials to check more Rutland homes for banned pesticideSeptember 26,2013The Associated Press
Vermont health officials believe there may be more homes in Rutland County that have been contaminated with a banned pesticide.
High levels of the chemical chlorpyrifos, banned since 2001, have forced six households to relocate; five others have been told to move.
The state says the chemical had been used by a pest control company to get rid of bed bugs. The chemical can cause nervous system and developmental disorders.
Tom Condon of the Environmental Protection Agency tells Vermont Public Radio (http://bit.ly/1b6Ygda) besides helping with the testing, the agency will also help set up a database on the cases.
North Clarendon exterminator Cary Buck has denied using chlorpyrifos; he told authorities he hasn't administered it in eight or nine years.
But officials said they found overwhelming evidence to the contrary.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The Raiders built a 13-1 halftime lead before shifting into cruise control Thursday...

Best books on pregnancy loss?
Me - 26, DH - 26. Endometriosis. Ruptured ectopic 8/8/12 - lost our little one and my left tube. Cautiously awaiting our RAINBOW 07/24/12 <3
I don't have any suggestions. I just wanted to tell you that I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you dear. Taking each day as it comes. I'm going to venture to the book store later and I will see what I can find.
Me - 26, DH - 26. Endometriosis. Ruptured ectopic 8/8/12 - lost our little one and my left tube. Cautiously awaiting our RAINBOW 07/24/12 <3
What Was Lost by Elise Barrett. I just finished it and it was right on. I believe I may be teaching a class on it next spring at my church. It really justified my feelings and told me it was okay and it wasn't my fault in a way that I actually believed it. It also had some stuff you could do/questions you could answer as a way to reflect on what has happened, so if you're a hands-on person, it's even better. I'm not-so-much, so I skipped the questions and read straight through.
Beau Campbell born 12.02.2013 <3
I am currently reading, I Will Carry You, and I can't remember who the author is and I am too lazy to go upstairs and look.

Strong. Smart. Capable. Worthy.
I am reading Gone too Soon: The Life and Loss of Infants and Unborn Children by Sherri Devashrayee Wittwer it covers anything from ectopic pregnancies to mc and stillborn. It's been good so far.
My daughter Angel born too early (21 wks) and went to heaven on 07/09/12.
i should mention, the book i recommended is strictly for miscarriage before 20 weeks. i liked that b/c it was specific to my situation, and the author states at the beginning that she believes all losses (stillborn/MC/infant loss) should be addressed seperately so as not to try to equate the intensity of one kind of loss to another.
Beau Campbell born 12.02.2013 <3
I also ready I will carry you by angie smith. So very good. She's so great at expressing into words what i was/am feeling with my losses. I also have a very simple book i got from the Christian book store called Please dont cry mommy. There are no tears in Heaven. It makes me cry but brings my heart peace when i look at it. I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Carmen(33) DH(31) & DS(13) + 9Tiny Angels & Kate who grew her wings on 7/14/2011 @ 25w5d ~Miss you!!
The most beneficial books I've read so far have been I Will Carry You by Angie Smith and I'll Hold You in Heaven by Jack Hayford. If you are a Christian, I would definitely recommend both. They are almost two separate types of books; one is a woman's journey through loss, another is more scriptural comfort for how we can KNOW we will see our children again in heaven. IHYIH was particularly helpful to me, because I liked having the scriptural grounds for knowing that I was going to see my sweet baby again.

Chiarelli conference call roundup, 6/21
|06.21.10 at 12:32 pm ET
Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli spoke with the media on Monday in a pre-draft conference call. Here are the highlights:
On talks with the Oilers:
"I spoke to Steve [Tambellini, Oilers GM] on the weekend and we really didn't discuss that in any detail. After speaking with Steve, I think he probably has these two guys as close as we do. Neither of us are really committed to moving forward on that type of discussion. We spoke briefly on the weekend and I would imagine that we're going to talk again at some point but right now, if the draft was tonight, I'd say there'd be no deal."
On what has been revealed in talks with Tambellini:
"It is different. Generally I would characterize it as we both don't want to play any cards to each other right now, if we have any to lay. I genuinely believe that Steve is of the same opinion on these players [as] me or close to them, and they're very close.
The discussions we've had aren't really in detail because we're not close to it yet. I don't know if they'll ever get truly in detail. It is unique. I think we're both very non-committal, in fact I know we are when we talk, but we talk in specifics on other fronts. We talk about the boys in general too, as what our thoughts are on each of the kids. It's a little different in this case."
On if they like one player more than the other:
"I would say right now as of today we have one guy over the other, but it's very very close."
On going back and forth between Hall and Seguin:
"I'll watch a game with one of the players and come away saying, 'This is the guy I want.'So that's a good thing. HYou want both of them. Specifically on Tyler: the speed, the innovation, the vision. He's got a real sneaky wrist shot that I think is underutilized. He finds ways to go around people with his speed and his style, his stick, and his passing. Dimensional speed, dimensional quickness. Very smart player and is a responsible player."
NHL Mock Draft: T-minus four days
|06.21.10 at 6:00 am ET
Four more days until the NHL draft and it's still looking like Taylor Hall will reign supreme in the Taylor/Tyler debate. This mock draft sees a few changes from last week, though I'd be crazy to switch as many picks as we do in the NFL mock drafts. This is because, unlike the NFL, these guys don't see their stocks bounce all over the place from day to day. If you think Tyler Toffoli should go to Anaheim one week, you'll probably think it the next week. There is a top 10 shakeup, however, as I think the Lightning will opt for Mikael Granlund at No. 6 and the Hurricanes will go for defense early.
1. Edmonton Oilers (62 points) Taylor Hall, LW, Windsor (OHL)
Nothing has changed in the last week, and though a team in need of help across the board may benefit more from a playmaking center, Hall's Memorial Cup performance narrowly gives him the edge over Seguin. Don't be surprised if the Oilers stay in this spot and still select Seguin, as they could prefer him or be talked into it by the Bruins and a nice compensation package.
2. Boston Bruins [from Toronto (74 points)] Tyler Seguin, C, Plymouth (OHL)
Peter Chiarelli said last week that if the Bruins are to make any deal with the Oilers, it is more likely that it isn't an actual swap of picks, but rather a trade that would include a promise from the Oilers to lay off their guy. Whomever they get, they'll be in great shape. Here's one to think about: If the Bruins end up with Seguin, who in Plymouth wanted to wear No. 19 in honor of Steve Yzerman, the player to whom he is often compared, does he take Joe Thornton's old number?
3. Florida Panthers (77 points) Cam Fowler, D, Windsor (OHL)
This is how we do it in the NFL mocks: If you think a team is going to trade up and take a certain player, you project the player in the slot so you can have half the pick right, and I'm bringing the theory with me to the NHL. I really believe (based on nothing — this is a total hunch) that the Bruins will move up from No. 15 and back into the top five. Why? Because they can. They have all the ammunition, and who's to say the talks for Nathan Horton don't include the Panthers' first-rounder coming to Boston?
4. Columbus Blue Jackets (79 points) Brett Connolly, LW, Prince George (WHL)
You know your team is in rough shape when a trade rumor is dismissed by the public because nobody believes a player would accept a trade to go there. If the Blue Jackets can't upgrade offensively with Marc Savard, they'll have to do so with Connolly, who should help them improve from their '09-'10 total of 214 goals.
5. New York Islanders (79 points) Erik Gudbranson, D, Kingston (OHL)
The idea of Gudbranson being around at No. 5 sounds pretty crazy, and if the Panthers keep their pick there is a good chance he'll be gone at No. 3, but I just don't have enough confidence that Florida will stay put. This allows the Islanders to get a big and tough defenseman at a steal.
Source: Horton likely to move, not necessarily to B's
|06.20.10 at 10:47 pm ET
It appears the Bruins may not be on the verge of acquiring Florida Panthers forward Nathan Horton, according to a source close to the situation. Reports surfaced this weekend that the Bruins had been closing in on a trade for the former third overall pick, but the Bruins were just one of multiple teams to nearly have a deal with the Panthers in the past few days.
"They were close, as were a few other teams," the source said of the Bruins' chances of getting Horton. It was unclear where a potential trade stood as of Sunday night.
The Panthers selected Horton in the 2003 NHL draft after flipping the top overall pick to the Penguins (Marc-Andre Fleury). The 25-year-old has never surpassed 62 points in his six-year NHL career and has scored 30 goals in just one season, a 2006-2007 campaign in which he gathered 31.
A natural right wing, Horton was moved to center in the 2008-2009 season. The Panthers have been trying to move Horton and his contract, which calls for cap hits of $4 million in each of the next three seasons. The source was confident the Panthers will succeed in doing so, saying a deal "will get done with someone sure enough."
Horton has also been linked to the Maple Leafs recently. It is unknown what the Bruins have offered or are offering the Panthers in a potential trade.
Report: Savard in play for 4th pick?
|06.18.10 at 1:44 pm ET
It's no secret the Bruins are looking to make some sort of move with the 15th overall pick in next Friday's NHL draft. GM Peter Chiarelli said as much recently when he told reporters that he's had discussions about moving both up and down with the pick, their slotted first-rounder.
Who they would target and what they would give up in any deal has been the difficult part to gauge. While it's widely assumed that a puck-moving defenseman is the position of interest, Taylor Hall's Windsor teammate Cam Fowler and Moncton defender Brandon Gormley go right to the top of the list. WEEI.com's NHL mock draft currently has Fowler and Gormley going third and sixth overall, respectively, but it should be noted that many believe Erik Gudbranson will be the third pick, meaning both Fowler and Gormley will be on the board at pick No. 4. That's where it gets interesting.
Rumor out of the Pro Hockey Talk camp has it there is "something substantial in the works" between the Bruins and Columbus Blue Jackets, who own the fourth overall pick next week. The rumored deal has the Bruins sending center Marc Savard, restricted free agent Blake Wheeler, and the 15th overall pick to move up nine spots and back into the top five.
For what it's worth, I had two reactions to this rumor:
1. That's not as bad a deal for the Bruins as it looks.
2. It's never going to happen.
Here's why it's not a bad deal for the Bruins, and the report hits on this a bit. If they're going to get Tyler Seguin second overall (which is looking more and more likely with each passing day as hockey writers everywhere build Taylor Hall statues of text), they will have much more depth at center than at wing (breaking news: they already do). By losing Savard's $7 million salary and $4 million cap hit, the team has good flexibility to add a big time goal-scorer.
You can forget about Ilya Kovalchuk. He wants top dollar for 12 years, and unless he lowers his demands significantly, he won't even be worth talking about. The report lists Patrick Marleau as a potential guy the Bruins could go after, but why in the world would the Bruins make such a big deal to free up money from one of the better centers in the game just so they can throw even more money at the position? If it's anybody in this scenario, my money is Kings winger Alexander Frolov.
Why won't it happen? You mean besides Savard being able to veto the trade? It's hard to imagine Savard would welcome a move to a team as bad as Columbus. Looking at this whole rumor (and again, it is just a rumor right now that PHT got from a source they trust), it's quite clear the Blue Jackets are a big reason players insist on no-trade clauses.
First up, Mr. President: Taylor or Tyler?
|06.16.10 at 3:26 pm ET
BOSTON — It didn't take long for Cam Neely's introductory press conference as President of the Boston Bruins to eventually turn into the latest effort of ringing every last drop of draft news out of the team's front office. Those in attendance came away with just what Bruins fans wanted: assurance that the No. 2 pick isn't going anywhere but potentially up and the utmost confidence in both Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin, with a tease that the team does prefer one.
"I know who we want," GM Peter Chiarelli said. "We're going to get one of the two, so we'd be happy with either."
In his official first day on the job, Neely let on that he was thoroughly impressed with each player's visit to the team and that getting to know each of the wunderkinds only cemented the team's relief that they are not forced to make the choice between the two.
"I've said this to Peter," Neely said. "We're in a good position. I think it's a tougher call for Edmonton than it is for us. We love both those guys. I think whatever happens, we'll be very happy."
While next Friday's draft in Los Angeles will be a monumental occasion for the Bruins' history, Chiarelli convincingly shot down any notion that the team could be considering a move out of the top two, with the proof being that they have in fact received a mightily enticing offer on paper, but that the team still rejected it immediately.
"There was actually one that I was impressed with," Chiarelli said, seemingly entranced by the offer as he spoke. Even so, Chiarelli made clear that every offer involving giving up the choice will end the same way.
"I'm not moving it," Chiarelli said of the second pick, one of two first-round selections received in the Phil Kessel trade. "We're going to take one of those two forwards.
"I've gotten quite a few [interesting offers] actually. A lot of them are prefaced with the comment, 'Look, I have to do this,' because I've been quote clear that I'm not going to move this [pick]."
As for his other early picks (Nos. 15 and 32nd overall, the latter also part of the Kessel trade), Chiarelli admitted that the second overall pick isn't the only choice that has been discussed in some way, shape, or form. In fact, it seems quite clear at this point that if the Bruins are going to move either of their first-rounders, seeing the team slide a few spots with the latter seems the more likely scenario.
"I've had talks about moving up and down from 15," Chiarelli said, "but not from two [and] just moving down."
Neely to be named Bruins president
|06.15.10 at 4:57 pm ET
WEEI has confirmed a report that the Bruins, who are set to hold a press conference Wednesday at 2 p.m., will name current vice president Cam Neely president of the club. Neely, who has been a part of the team's front office since September of 2007, had 590 points in 10 seasons with the Bruins. The story was first reported by Comcast SportsNet.
