The Trusted Platform Module: Benefits for Data-at-Rest Encryption
The Trusted Computing Group develops open specifications for building blocks that enable secure computing. Their most significant publication to date is the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a specification for an embeddable microcontroller that provides a number of security services for the benefit of its host platform. The TPM specification has now been implemented by a number of IC vendors. While TPM functionality is not tied to any specific type of platform, adoption by PC vendors has been most significant to date.

Uptime, as of a minute or so ago, is now showing "7day:8h:57m:0s"[1] I haven't heard any complaints from my son regarding wireless connectivity so it looks like the ZyXEL firmware update was the right move. I'm pretty certain I haven't seen uptime figures as long as this[2] for quite a few months with the latest PEAK firmware update so it does look very promising. Of course, the proof of this pudding will require several weeks (preferably months) of uptime to indicate the stability of the new firmware I did repost the OP to alt.comp.networking.routers but, surprisingly, there seemed to be a total lack of interest. There was some traffic in other threads (mostly spam) but no response to what I thought would have been of some interest in such a NG (Go Figure!) :-( [1] That's uptime for _both_ the wan connection and the router session. [2] Uptime on the wan link only. The "soft" resets to restart the wan connection didn't reset the router session uptime clock - only power cycling would do that. -- Regards, John.

CLEVELAND — The Cavaliers continue to outdo themselves.
Two days after an epic collapse against the Phoenix Suns, Cleveland lost 100-89 Tuesday to a New Orleans Pelicans team that isn't very good to begin with and was minus three of its top six scorers.
That left the don't-get-it Cavs with a 1-4 record on their season-high five-game homestand, and 13,985 fans at Quicken Loans Arena let them hear about it.
It also dropped the Cavs to 16-29 overall as they prepare for road games in New York, Houston and Dallas.
"Our competitive spirit is nonexistent," Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. "I wish I had the answer. Maybe I need to shake things up."
What perplexed Brown most was the change in a little more than a day, as he noted the Cavs had a highly competitive practice Monday that almost resulted in "three or four fights."
"Our energy level was off the charts," he said of the workout. "I didn't see one time tonight where one of us got upset, hit somebody, showed some fire."
When asked if the Cavs had tuned out Brown, point guard Kyrie Irving vowed to "ride and die" with his second NBA coach.
"I leave my trust in Coach Brown," he said. "(I'm) pretty sure my teammates feel the same."
Other than another horrendous effort by the Cavs, a game between two of the league's bottom-feeders was most notable for who didn't play.
Anderson Varejao (hyperextended knee) missed his first game of the season for the Cavs, but the Pelicans (19-25) were in much worse shape.
They were minus Ryan Anderson (herniated disc), Jrue Holiday (stress fracture in leg) and Jason Smith (torn knee cartilage).
It didn't matter to New Orleans.
The Pelicans shot a sizzling 60.7 percent from the field over the first three periods and, after leading by as many as 22 points, took an 83-65 lead into the fourth.
The Cavs got as close as 11, but the outcome was never seriously in doubt.
"We don't play hard in spurts," Brown said. "When we don't play hard in spurts, it equates to losses."
New Orleans second-year power forward Anthony Davis had his way with the Cavs, putting up 30 points on 12-for-18 shooting, seven rebounds, three assists and eight blocks. The Pelicans also got 20 points, seven rebounds and nine assists from shooting guard Eric Gordon.
The most promising thing to come out of this game for the Cavs was the play of No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett, who overcame a horrendous first half to post career highs in points (15) and minutes played (31) while tying a career high with eight rebounds. Bennett, who played the last 20:42, was 5-for-10 from the field overall, 2-for-3 on 3-pointers and 3-for-6 at the line.
Bennett played 10:34 in the first half and had two points on 1-for-4 shooting, no rebounds, no assists, two fouls and a turnover. He had no points, rebounds or assists in his first nine minutes on the floor, but bounced back nicely after intermission, though it should be pointed out the Cavs were getting blown out at the time.
"You've got to stay ready when your number is called," Brown said. "He was ready tonight."
Irving had 23 points and five assists for the Cavs, Dion Waiters added 21 points and Tyler Zeller, who played only three minutes in the second half, tied his season high with 13 points and added 10 boards while starting in place of Varejao.
"What we had out there wasn't good enough," Brown said when asked about Zeller's benching early in the second half. "That's why I made the change."
Henry Sims, who played 12 minutes while Zeller sat, had two points on 1-for-5 shooting and one rebound, but some of the starters were even worse.
Luol Deng (six points on 3-for-10 shooting in 31 minutes), Tristan Thompson (five points on 2-for-10 shooting in 32 minutes) and C.J. Miles (two points on 1-for-2 shooting in 12 minutes) were virtual no-shows.
"What we're watching out there, what we're seeing, is unacceptable," Brown said. "It's not good enough."
Up 12 at halftime, New Orleans finished off a 41-15 spurt to take an 81-59 lead with 2:51 to go in the third period as boos rained down from everywhere in the arena.
The Pelicans, who shot .590 from the field in the first half (23-for-39), closed the second quarter on a 16-0 run to take a 56-44 lead at intermission.
The Cavs did not trail until the 4:33 mark of the second period, but shot 5-for-20 in that quarter, when Davis blocked almost as many shots (four) as Cleveland made.
One game after going 2-for-22 in a six-point third quarter against Phoenix, the Cavs did not score over the final 5:25 of the first half vs. the Pelicans, missing their last nine shots and also committing three turnovers in that span.
"Someway, somehow, we've got to figure it out," Irving said.

A shoplifter was brought to justice after he was caught on CCTV stealing computer accessories from a Chesterfield store.
Chesterfield magistrates' court heard on Monday how Benjamin Hardwick, 20, of Sheffield Road, Chesterfield, stole the SD memory cards from Wilkinson's on Vicar Lane, in October.
Becky Allsop, prosecuting, said CCTV was viewed and a member of staff saw Hardwick stealing the cards worth £60 and he was later identified and arrested.
Mrs Allsop said: "He made a full admission to police and said he had no money and that the cards were easy to sell on and that had been his intention."
Hardwick who pleaded guilty to theft said he was sorry and that he had stolen the cards because he needed the money.
Magistrates sentenced Hardwick to a £74 fine and ordered him to pay a £20 victim surcharge and £60 compensation.

It's an age old question...Is it better to start seeds indoors and transplant later or to sow seeds outdoors directly into the garden? And what about just skipping seed starting all together and purchasing transplants from a local farmer or garden center? Which is better? Where should I start?
Indeed! The uncertainties of life's big questions are enough to keep a would-be gardener from ever getting started! The good news is, just like in life, there are no hard and fast rules in gardening. The short answer to these often challenging questions is...
It depends.
Choosing whether to start your garden from seeds or transplants depends on a number of factors - time, experience, and budget to name a few. The type of vegetable or herb being grown also makes a big difference. Some plants prefer being directly sown into the garden, while others prefer to be nursed along indoors before being transplanted.
Outlined below are some benefits and drawbacks of starting seed indoors or in the garden. The benefits and drawbacks of starting with transplants are also considered. Knowing these factors will help you determine the best way to get started and on your way to growing a happy, healthy garden.
Starting From Seed
- All ages enjoy sprouting and caring for life!
- If you're planning a large garden, starting from seed is more affordable.
- You control the source of the seeds and the varieties grown.
- Start early indoors, transplant, then seed in succession throughout the season.
- Root crops - carrots, turnips, parsnips and beets - prefer to be directly sown.
- Beans, corn, garlic, and peas also prefer to be directly sown and grown in one place.
- Time – Waiting for soil temperature to rise and night air temperatures to be above 50°; Waiting for seedlings to mature for transplanting; Monitoring young sprouts 2-3 times per day
- Weather – If you sow direct outdoors, drought, heavy winds, flooding and insects can destroy young seedlings.
- Equipment – The cost of protective covering, seed trays, germination heating pads, and indoor grow lights can add up.
Starting with Transplants
- Get a head start on the growing season!
- Start broccoli, chard, and kale indoors and move them outside soon after your plant hardiness zone's frost-free date.
- Planning a small garden? It may be more affordable to purchase transplants.
- Transplants are stronger and more resistant to weather conditions and pests.
- Celery, eggplants, leeks, onions, peppers, and tomatoes do well as transplants.
- Transplants can go through shock when moved from their original container.
- If you start seeds indoors, you will need to harden off your seedlings before transplanting them into a permanent location. Hardening off your seedlings means moving baby plants outdoors (a few hours each day) then back indoors, over a period of a week, while they adjust to sun and wind.
- Transplants purchased from other farms or greenhouses may introduce pests, diseases, or weeds into your garden.
- Plant varieties at nurseries and big box stores are limited. If you prefer non-GMO, organic, or heirloom varieties, it may be best to start your own transplants from certified seed sources.
When beginning your garden from seed, sowing directly into the garden or starting in trays, be sure to pay attention to the temperature of the soil. The number of days for seed germination is related to the warmth of the soil. Seedling flat heating mats are great for moving sprout times along more quickly and predictably.
Here's a handy chart to help you with timing:
If starting from seed isn't for you, search your local farmers' market in the Spring and Fall to purchase transplants. These are usually reliable, often heirloom varieties accustomed to growing in your local climate. You can also learn a few secrets of gardening success when buying from local growers.
Odds are, if you're up for the learning curves and fun of growing your own food, you will end up combining all these ways of starting your garden - buying transplants, starting your own indoors, and starting seeds directly in the garden. For more detailed information about when to start specific varieties, check out this 2017-Planting-Chart.pdf from High Mowing Seeds.
Stay tuned for the next post in this series, How To Plan A Garden #3: Preparing for Pests.

Students design exercise and physical therapy spaces for Kendal residents
By Sheri Hall |
The challenge put to a group of Cornell students: Make exercise more convenient, safer and more enjoyable for residents of Kendal at Ithaca, a retirement community. The result: Full-scale models that include a system to help the elderly monitor their exercise and a physical therapy exam room to give the residents more privacy.
Cornell interior design and behavioral science students worked in a collaborative project across two courses this semester, spending time at Kendal conducting research and interviewing Kendal staff and residents. Then they designed new fitness and physical therapy spaces and built full-scale models of their proposed solutions.
Their proposals, which were presented Dec. 4 to the residents of Kendal at Ithaca, included:
The projects were based on collaborations between two classes: professor Paul Eshelman's Intermediate Interior Design and professor Gary Evans' Environmental and Social Behavior, both in Cornell's College of Human Ecology. The students in Evans' class served as behavioral science consultants, researching the needs of senior housing facility residents and developing design guidelines. Eshelman's class created the designs.
"The crucial component is that it's a real-life challenge," Evans said. "It's a great way to teach because the students are so motivated to solve a real problem."
The projects also involved learning about building materials, hardware, tool use, structural integrity and model construction, which included ordering materials, planning tasks that involved students from both classes, building in the workshop and planning for their presentations.
Students teamed up from the beginning with Kendal residents, visiting the physical therapy rooms and taking walks around the Kendal campus.
"The students put a lot of thought and effort into this," said Tom Scott, a Kendal resident who uses the community's exercise facilities each morning. "We have some real needs to improve these areas, so it was wonderful to have their input."
For junior Abbey Kesten, the fun part of the project was incorporating input from residents like Scott. "It was fun because they were excited about our project," she said. "And it was interesting to see their reactions to our proposal."
This is the second year the classes have collaborated to design new spaces at Kendal. Last year, they created designs for the cafeteria and the dining areas.
The project was supported by Kendal at Ithaca, the 2008 Kaplan Family Distinguished Faculty Fellowship in Service-Learning, Living Environments Aging Partnership and Cornell's College of Human Ecology.
Sheri Hall is assistant communications director for the College of Human Ecology.

Culture and brain form complex systems of influence, control and resistance. The present brain seems to have been invaded by technology: machines increasingly perform the previously human tasks of language, memory, and imagination, with our learning processes taken up by automated and algorithmic procedures. What are the philosophical, social and political implications of this cognitive automation for our brains and bodies? What is happening to our subjectivity, identity and free will?
Warren Neidich: "The Brain Without Organs: Psychedelic Drugs and Emancipation"
Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in psychedelics, particularly the hallucinatory drink Ayahuasca. Its role as a serotonergic analogue with tremendous healing powers has led to its recent popularity. Noteworthy is its neuro-trophic potential, increasing neuroplasticity, especially, in the treatment of depression and drug addiction. However its role in eliciting mystic journeys is by far the most important factor in its rise in popularity, spurring an entire tourist industry around its use. Experts in the field of art history, shamanistic practices, curating, psychoanalysis and neuroscience have been assembled to address the role of these drugs. Keeping in mind the recuperative powers of capitalism we want to consider whether art and drugs might provide a way out of the conundrum, just on the horizon, of neuro-totalitarianism.
With: Warren Neidich, John C. Welchman, Daniel Pinchbeck, Florencia Portocarrero, Lars Bang Larsen.

Qatar University provides first update on R&D on sustainable aviation biofuels; scaling up production
26 November 2012
The Peninsula. Qatar University (QU) provided the first public update on the progress of its work on developing sustainable alternative biofuels for aviation on the eve of the UN Climate Change Conference COP-18.
The university's state-backed QR45.5-million (US$12.5 million) biofuel project, in collaboration with Qatar Airways and Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP), is now in its third year.
The research team has isolated multiple forms of single-celled photosynthetic organisms (cyanobacteria and microalgae) abundant in the waters of Qatar and which grow well in the extreme heat, strong sunlight and high salinity waters of Qatar.
The research group grew these cultures, eliminating weaker variations, and scaled up growth from small test-tubes to water tanks to monitor their growth. Lipids are extracted for renewable aviation fuel, while carbohydrates are used to make bioethanol.
The team then scaled up their tests to outdoor tanks of 1,500 liters at QU's research farm in Al Khor. The experiment is now being scaled up even further to 25,000 liters, using specially-designed outdoor research ponds currently being prepared by the team.
If successful, a pre-commercialization pilot plant will be constructed on a much larger scale of 1.5-million liters.

According to Dealbook, the companies will between them invest $250 million in the endeavor, and K.K.R. is providing 90% of the funding. CHK will source, manage and acquire the projects.
"As the largest oil and gas leasehold owner and most active driller in the U.S., we are uniquely well positioned to leverage our operating footprint to pursue profitable and related business opportunities," Aubrey K. McClendon, chief executive of Chesapeake, said in a statement. "We are delighted to partner with K.K.R., a leading investor and partner to the energy industry, to expand our royalty acquisition business."
K.K.R. is not the first private equity firm to show an interest in the energy sector. At the end of February, the Blackstone Group announced that it had invested $2 billion in Cheniere Energy.
At the Raymond James Institutional Investors Conference, President on Investor Relations Jeff Mobley said that CHK is proud of the debt reduction initiatives that it's made. "We've completed about 70% of our overall objective to reduce our debt, over a two-year time frame, by 25%. Last year we reduced our long-term debt from $0.73 per unit of proved reserves to $0.55 per unit of proved reserves and we're well on our way to taking those metrics to investment grade by the end of this year."

MOSCOW, March 11 (UPI) -- A Russian national taken hostage in Nigeria last month has been released, officials said.
Tatyana Eyiuche was released in a joint operation with Nigerian police, RIA Novosti reported Friday.
"She is safe, and her health is satisfactory," Russia's Foreign Ministry said.
Kidnappings and attacks on foreigners by groups demanding local residents get a larger share of the country's oil income have become frequent since 2006, the report said.
Further details were unavailable.

The Chargers yesterday were awarded a fifth-round compensatory draft choice, bringing their total picks in this year's draft to seven.
Compensatory picks are awarded based on a complicated formula that takes into account the number and caliber of unrestricted free agents a team lost versus signed. The Chargers last year lost Igor Olshansky and Mike Goff while signing Kevin Burnett.
The Chargers have one pick in every round except the fifth and sixth. They now have two fifth-rounders, and they traded their sixth-round pick to the Houston Texans last August for defensive lineman Travis Johnson.
Also yesterday, the Chargers released Demetrius Byrd. The receiver was drafted in the seventh round last year despite having just been in a serious automobile injury. Byrd worked out at the Chargers facility and was around the team last season as he attempted to strengthen his motor skills and also his cognitive functions.
Niners' GM departs
Scot McCloughan is out as the San Francisco 49ers' general manager in a "mutual parting," and director of player personnel Trent Baalke will lead the team into next month's draft.
Team President Jed York said the move is in the best interest of both parties.

Whatever router you get your bandwidth (download speed) will still be shared out between the devices attached to it. ie: if you download at 5Mbps and 2 pcs are downloading at the same time they have to share the 5Mbps (not an equal share - it depends on what each pc is doing) Also if you use wireless that is a slower speed than the speed from router via a cable to pc/laptop.
However if you have a very old router it might be time to get a new one. Have you done any download speed tests? http://www.speedtest.net/ is a good one to use.

ROME — Pope Benedict XVI, in his encyclical Deus Caritas Est, noted that the Church is essential in providing the "loving personal concern" that a state cannot provide on its own.
"We do not need a state that regulates and controls everything, but a state that, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, generously acknowledges and supports initiatives arising from the different social forces and combines spontaneity with closeness to those in need," the Pope wrote. "The Church is one of those living forces: she is alive with the love enkindled by the Spirit of Christ."
James Towey, a Catholic Democrat, is an assistant to President Bush and director of the White House Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives. He spoke to Register correspondent Edward Pentin in Rome about government efforts to give religion a greater role in helping people left behind by society.
In his first encyclical, Deus Caritas Est, Pope Benedict XVI emphasizes the importance of charity in human love, especially to those in need, and that it is the essential ingredient of justice. What are your views on this, and how is your office helping to foster charity in the Church and society?
Pope Benedict XVI offers a beautiful insight into the interplay between charity and justice, and how love of neighbor compels personal responsibility and action. President Bush has said repeatedly that government can't love, but that America's armies of compassion can. This ingredient of love is essential to the restoration of the lives of the addicted, homeless, and hopeless.
Every year the president has been in office he has proposed billions of dollars in tax incentives for enhanced charitable giving, and this March he will host a summit to focus on charity and philanthropic giving by individuals, corporations and foundations. His State of the Union address [Jan. 31] spoke eloquently of how America's strength is measured by the quality of its compassion.
How much have faith based initiatives grown over recent years?
We'll put out new data in March that will show the amount of grant making to faith-based organizations, but over $2 billion went last year to religious charities. We've removed barriers that discriminated at the regulatory level, so now there's a level playing field at the grants process. Thirty-one governors now have faith-based offices, including Democratic governors and over 115 mayors as well so we're seeing this, not only as a Washington exercise, but something as resonating on the homeland. And I think when we look at Hurricane Katrina, what we saw in the aftermath was that faith-based organizations were there, providing this work, before government was even close to the action. So I think President Bush has been vindicated. He has three years remaining to deepen the roots of the initiative so that it will stand.
And it has cross-party support?
It does. We see many Democrats who recognize that if you banish faith-based organizations from the public square, you impoverish it.
But there's been some opposition, hasn't there?
In Congress.
I heard someone complain that it's an "appalling violation of our constitutionally protected civil rights." How do you respond to that sort of criticism?
They need to go back and read their history. They have a very terribly uninformed opinion. But in fact the minority voice in America has found support within the judiciary, so you've had many judges that legislate from the bench, and promoted a political agenda — from the bench. But I think what we've found in the deliberations for the Supreme Court are persons President Bush is putting forward for the federal judiciary, including the highest court individuals, who are going to interpret the laws, not try to write them.
So is the battle being won?
I think that President Bush, by having two terms, will have an impact on the judiciary that will put in place individuals who will be strict constructionists, as he promised. I think when you are a strict constructionist of the Constitution, it's impossible to take the view that a faith-based initiative is a violation of the First Amendment. And to date, we have been upheld at every federal court when our constitutional right has been challenged.
It's often said there's a danger in mixing faith with politics. What's the danger in this regard with faith-based initiatives? What are the risks involved?
There's a risk if it's done badly, if it's done in a way that favors a faith, if it discriminates who gets served by federal programs, if it is done in the darkness. We have transparency. We list the groups that get the money. I think it has to be done right because the reality is that when President Bush was first elected in 2000, the charge was that he would Christianize government, that he was going to tear down the wall between church and state, and that he was going to fund his friends. After five years now, there's a record that none of those things have happened.
How did you get involved in this work?
I ran Florida's health services, then I worked with the poor, hands-on, and then worked for a U.S. senator in Congress, so I knew how that works. Then of course, I worked with Mother [Blessed Teresa of Calcutta] and saw the limits of what government can do, and the power of what she could do.
There's a drive in Britain at the moment for "compassionate conservatism" on similar lines to the United States. Do you think this policy could be successfully emulated in Europe?
I think so. Europe has such rich roots in faith; it's not exclusive simply of Christianity, but it needs to embrace the transforming powers of faith-based organizations and faith-filled people. If you look at social problems decade after decade, they don't change. We labor in vain sometimes. I think when you drive out of the public square faith-based groups, you impoverish it. I wish them well there.
It's also a way to tackle a "dictatorship of relativism," to use Pope Benedict's words, isn't it?
Well, some of the most intolerant voices I hear are from those who want to banish faith from the public square — the secular fundamentalists. They talk tolerance but secular fundamentalists are the most intolerant people I know.

Pete I would be wary of substituting lumped inductors for linear loading. You want to represent the harmonic resonances and changing the loading type will very likely make a difference (can't say how much, though). If you model the linear loading stubs, be sure to set up the segmentation to align the pulses on adjacent wires. NEC and MININEC aren't real happy with extremely close spacing, but will tolerate the condition with pulses aligned. The designer should have made sure that the 3rd harmonic resonance falls well outside any ham band by wise placement of the loading. Maybe F12 already knows the answer you're looking for. 73, Gary K9AY > > I would like to model a Force 12 EF-240S.

No excuses, we like Scandinavian design here. First produced in 1935, Alvar Alto's arm chair 400 is packed with appealing curves. It also always an endless possibilities inregards to covering. Most importantly, perhaps, the design is modern without screaming "MODERNISM." Thus, fits cleanly into a contemporary setting without turning the whole scene into an exercise in eclectic collecting.

BUFFALO, N.Y.- The Buffalo Sabres were very busy during the NHL trade deadline, dealing away five players in three different trades.
The Sabres have traded goalie Jaroslav Halak and a third round pick in 2015 to the Washington Capitals in exchange for goalie Michal Neuvirth and defenseman Rostislav Klesla.
The Sabres have also traded forwards Matt Moulson and Cody McCormick to the Minnesota Wild for forward Torrey Mitchell and second round picks in the 2014 and 2016 drafts.
Also on Wednesday, the Sabres have acquired defenseman Nicolas Deslauriers and forward Hudson Fasching from the Los Angeles Kings for defenseman Brayden McNabb, forward Jonathan Parker and two draft picks.
WEB EXTRA: Watch Sabres GM Tim Murray talk about the trade deadline.
The Sabres released the following information about their player acquisitions:
Deslauriers (6'1", 230 lbs., 2/22/91) has led the Manchester Monarchs (AHL) in goals (18) and shots (217) this season, totaling 39 points (18+21) through 60 games in his first professional season as a forward. Despite spending the season at left wing, the LaSalle, Quebec native played his first two AHL seasons with the Monarchs as a defenseman, tallying 37 points (5+32) in 128 games and leading Monarchs defensemen with 80 penalty minutes in 2012-13. Before his selection in the third round (84th overall) of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Deslauriers posted prolific numbers as a defenseman with Rouyn-Noranda and Gatineau (QMJHL), recording 127 points (35+92) in 223 games on the blue line.
Fasching (6'2", 213 lbs., 7/28/95), was originally drafted by Los Angeles in the fourth round (118th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. Currently playing for the University of Minnesota (Big Ten), Fasching ranks third on the team and seventh in the conference with 27 points (12+15) through 31 games in his freshman campaign. Prior to his career with the Golden Gophers, Fasching spent two seasons with the U.S. National Development Team (USHL), where he played in 62 games and tallied 32 points (11+21).
Klesla (6'3", 215 lbs., 3/21/82) was acquired by the Capitals earlier today from the Phoenix Coyotes. In his 13th NHL season, the defenseman from Novy Jicin, Czech Republic has appeared in 25 games for the Coyotes, recording four points (1+3) and 24 penalty minutes. In 659 career games with the Coyotes and Blue Jackets, Klesla has totaled 159 points (48+111) and 620 penalty minutes.
Mitchell (5'11", 189 lbs., 1/30/85), who was in his second season in Minnesota, has played in 58 games for the Wild in 2013-14, recording nine points (1+8). Originally drafted by the San Jose Sharks in the fourth round (126th overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, Mitchell is playing in his sixth NHL season. After playing four seasons in San Jose, Mitchell signed with Minnesota as a free agent in July 2012. Through 383 career games with the Sharks and Wild, he has recorded 90 points (35+55) and 194 penalty minutes.
Neuvirth (6'1", 209 lbs., 3/23/88), who was selected by the Capitals in the second round (34th overall) of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, joins the Sabres after appearing in 13 games in 2013-14, posting a 4-6-2 record, a .914 save percentage and a 2.82 goals against average.
A native of Ústí Nad Labem, Czech Republic, Neuvirth spent the first six seasons of his NHL career in Washington. In that time, he has appeared in 134 NHL games, compiling a 59-41-13 record with seven shutouts, a .910 save percentage and a 2.67 goals against average. He backstopped the Capitals to a 4-5-1 record in the 2011 NHL Playoffs, posting a .912 save percentage and a 2.34 goals against average.

My reading of Unicode 2.0 is that simplified and traditional characters
have different abstract shapes (Y axis), though they have the same
semantic (X axis). Unification is performed only between characters
with the same abstract shape *and* semantic. Therefore, simplified
and traditional characters cannot be properly unified.

text: "Eight years ago David travelled to Tokyo to oversee an exhibition and collection created in collaboration with Upper Playground. The pendulum of his person had him switching roles from collaborator to confidant and artist to ally and it was on this trip that everything changed- we got word that David had been arrested for punching a security officer in the face and was going to be imprisoned for 7 years. Banned from visitation, we were forced to get updates through our distributor by phone. It was a roller coaster of emotions, with one day being positive and the next completely devastating. Finally, after 90 days, we got a call saying he was getting out. He returned a humble man, having lost 40-50 lbs., grateful for his experience. He didn't curse his time or situation like most men would, his feeling was he got his due: he was in prison not for hitting the security officer, but rather, for all the crimes and sins he had committed up until then and had never been caught for. It was a cathartic experience and an opportunity to repent for all the crimes he had been committing daily throughout his entire life. And in true Choe fashion, he turned an overwhelmingly negative experience into a positive one by creating hundreds upon hundreds of prison drawings and sketches, exhibiting the work in New York. From there his paths and roads, though intricate with obstacles, would carry him to greater and higher heights that have him standing where he is today as one of the top artists in the world still spreading the ethos of Upper Playground. People often try to dissect and understand the how's and why's to his success. The answer is simple: he looks at failure and success as equal opportunities." - @mattrevelli #choematrix @davidchoe #japan via news.upperplayground.com #UpperPlayground

PubMatch, the book publishing and international rights database founded by Publishers Weekly and Combined Book Exhibit, is introducing a new upgrade at this year's London Book Fair--Rights@PubMatch. Developed in cooperation with the Copyright Clearance Center, Rights@PubMatch is a transaction engine that empowers its users to buy and sell rights with a few computer clicks. The system, which is powered by CCC's RightsLink, allows rights sellers to detail exactly which rights are available-- from language to territory to format--and provides rights sellers with a contract to execute a complete transaction. If desired, buyers and sellers can replace the system's standard contract with one of their own design.
Through Rights@PubMatch, acquiring content has never been easier: after a buyer accepts a seller's terms, they are able to purchase the right to the book with a few simple clicks and a credit card, the collections are made and the net remittances are sent to the seller. To ensure that deals will be completely VAT/withholding tax compliant, Rights@PubMatch engaged the international accounting firm Deloitte. George Slowik, Jr. , president of Publishers Weekly, notes that while nothing can replace face-to-face discussions in creating rights deals, PubMatch and Rights@PubMatch are ideal for facilitating transactions in hard to reach markets or for midlist and backlist titles in a cost efficient, turnkey manner.
"PubMatch is a global rights network that, for the past few years, has made the connection of potential international partners easier," explains Jon Malinowski, president of CBE. "Those early networking efforts yielded over 8,000 members discussing more than 20,000 titles. Yet the connection is only the first step in a rights transaction and that is why we have developed Rights@PubMatch."

All-Ireland Qualifiers: Down need to step it up again, says McCartan
Uu until they were beaten by Cork last September Down had never lost an All-Ireland final at Croke Park - five appearances in the decider spanning half-a-century had preceded that heartbreaking (0-16 to 0-15) setback and on each of those occasions the Sam Maguire Cup was captured in regal style.
Current Down boss James McCartan played a big part in two of those coups (19991 and '94).
So when he leads the Mournemen back to Headquarters tomorrow to face Cork again he is naturally hoping that his county's great tradition will weigh in his favour.
But McCartan is certainly taking nothing for granted, particularly after assessing the manner in which Cork performed against Kerry in the Munster final.
"Kerry maybe caught them on the hop in the first half but Cork came back very, very strongly and just ran out of time in the end. I think Kerry's experience ultimately proved decisive but Cork showed they are still a very good, well-organised side," reflects McCartan.
Down may have already claimed the scalps of Clare, Leitrim and Antrim in the qualifiers but McCartan believes that his side is still "stuttering a bit".
Yet there are some positives. Danny Hughes is nearing full fitness following a hamstring injury, skipper Ambrose Rogers is on the brink of a return, Conor Laverty and Benny Coulter are on fire in attack and there is an enhanced level of experience in defence.
While all this serves to bolster optimism, he recognises that the game will prove a major examination of his team's psyche. "We have been improving a wee bit with every outing lately but we need to take things to the next level tomorrow," insists McCartan.
Cork manager Conor Counihan has confirmed his line-up with Fintan Goold taking the place of cruciate ligament injury victim Ciaran Sheehan.
Graham Canty is again selected at full-back even though he looked off the pace against Kerry while Alan O'Connor and Aidan Walsh again form a powerful midfield pairing, with Daniel Goulding, Donnacha O'Connor and Paul Kerrigan comprising a full-forward line that is imbued with potent scoring power.
Cork: A Quirke; J O'Sullivan, G Canty, M Shields; N O'Leary, J Miskella, P Kissane; A O'Connor, A Walsh; F Goold, P Kelly, P O'Neill; D Goulding, D O'Connor, P Kerrigan.

Certification of Voting Machines: Little Reassurance to Voters
Election officials try to alleviate voters' concerns about the reliability of e-voting machines with the following refrain: labs ran our machines through rigorous testing and certified them as reliable and safe. But, of course, those officials fail to explain that many of the e-voting machines in use today were certified by labs whose credibility has been seriously called into question. The Election Assistance Commission has just suspended SysTest Labs, a company that tested and certified voting machines since 2001, due to their "failure to conform to procedures and requirements set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology." According to the EAC, SysTest failed to create and validate testing methods, maintain proper documentation of its testing, and employ properly trained or qualified personnel. The key question is really: if all of that is true, what did the testing lab do at all?
To add to voters' worries, another lab involved in testing today's e-voting equipment, CIBER, similarly faced suspension by the EAC in January 2007 due to its lax oversight of vendors' e-voting systems. And even long before CIBER's suspension, it was roundly criticized for its security and reliability problems. (CIBER appears to be back in the testing game, along with three other companies).
All of this suggests that the certification of these machines should give us little comfort–two of the four testing labs that certified the software running our voting machines were less than reliable. Moreover, as for all of the e-voting machines that we will use on Tuesday, vendors paid for the testing labs' services and the certification reports were never released to the public, raising concerns about the lack of impartiality of all of the testing labs.

COLLINGWOOD hopes to send a full complement of players to its December altitude camp, including injured recruit Clinton Young and first-timer Andrew Krakouer.
The Pies begin returning to training tomorrow week.
Young (foot) and Jackson Paine (shoulder reconstruction) will return to full training after Christmas.
Knee victims Luke Ball and Lachie Keeffe are on track, with Ball set for full training immediately and medical staff optimistic Keeffe will return for Round 1.
Collingwood football manager Geoff Walsh said the Pies hoped Krakouer would receive a visa for the December 4-22 camp in Park City, Utah.
He served 16 months for assault but recently walked the Kokoda Track for charity after receiving clearance to travel to Papua New Guinea. However, he has repeatedly been rebuffed by US authorities.
US immigration laws make it tough for him to be handed a visa.
Walsh said the Pies had pushed the trip back, given senior players did not return until November 28.
"I would think very few will stay behind, we haven't finalised that, but at this stage most if not all are going," he said.
"Young will be rehabbing up until Christmas, and in January we expect him to be up and going.
"The wheels are in motion (for Krakouer's visa) but whether he gets any more of a sympathetic hearing is not in our court."
The Pies have eight live picks in the coming drafts plus four rookie picks.

WASHINGTON (AP) – A top Navy official says the service is close to awarding another multibillion-dollar contract to General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman for more Virginia class submarines.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for ship programs Allison Stiller says the service will make the award for eight more submarines "soon." A formal announcement is expected as early as next week.
General Dynamics' subsidiary Electric Boat has partnered with Northrop Grumman's Newport News shipyard in Virginia to build one submarine a year for the Navy. Production under the new deal will double to two ships annually in 2011.
The companies so far have received $12.6 billion for the first 10 submarines.

ANDERSON, Calif., May 15 (UPI) -- A California transient was arrested after police found him sleeping in a garbage bin outside a Taco Bell in Anderson while he was "wrapped up like a burrito."
Anderson Police found Varnel Adamson wrapped up in multiple layers of plastic after receiving a report of an intoxicated man sleeping inside a trash bin near the restaurant.
Adamson was wanted on a parole violation and he was highly intoxicated when officers found him. The 57-year-old reportedly had a small amount of methamphetamine on him at the time of his arrest.
The parolee left the bin voluntarily and was booked into the Shasta County Jail on the outstanding warrant.

Sasha and Malia Go With Pottery Barn, Anthropologie
While I've introduced you to White House decorator Michael Smith, I didn't have the details on what his designs for the Obama White House would entail. Well, according to US Weekly, the Obamas are taking a pretty common-sense approach to their decorating scheme. In addition to using pieces they've brought to the White House and their collection of African and Asian art, the Obamas will decorate with affordable, reasonably priced retailers, such as Pottery Barn.
According to the magazine article, the family plans to "furnish Malia and Sasha's rooms with items from Anthropologie and Pottery Barn."
The Obamas, who are known for their modern, elegant, yet casual style (which totally fits with decorator Smith's style), should add a great punch of 21st century verve to the capital. I can't wait to see what they do!
To see my Pottery Barn and Anthropologie picks for Sasha and Malia's rooms,

In an early Thanksgiving present, Google has rolled out Google Navigation to Android 1.6 users. Phones such as the T-Mobile G1 and myTouch can all access the free turn-by-turn navigation Google announced with the Motorola Droid. Be jealous no more, or at least, less jealous.
Also included in the release is layers for these phones. Now, users can overlay their maps with transit maps (oh so handy!) as well as info from my maps, Wikipedia and more. Sales of phones still running Android 1.6, like the HTC phones with the Sense UI, will be helped by this addition. Nice move Google.
Users can download the latest version of Google Maps from the Android Market and begin navigating all over the US (the only place it will work) today. The service is in beta and is free.
Note: some Android 2.0 functions will not work on Android 1.6. For example, the "navigate to" voice command will not work on the older Android release.

Melodylamour created a thread with a list of BOMs. This is the first one I tackled. Here is meodylamour's thread:
Here is the link for Country Junction, the BOM this mini quilt is from:
My sewing machine dislikes stitching through "fusible anything" so I did not stitch down the pieces. Skipped stitches everywhere. It looked terrible. The next applique I do I'll probably spray all the pieces with 505 Basting Spray since I know my machine will stitch through that.
Regardless, this project was a lot of fun to make. I stippled around the snowman and snowflakes and did a loopy FMQ in the boarder fabric with stars thrown in. Also, I added JANUARY at the bottom of the mini quilt. It wasn't included in the pattern. I searched alphabets on the internet and picked one, checked the size of the letters, printed it in reverse, traced the letters on the fusible, etc., then added them.
I'm looking forward to February!

In one of the closest finishes on the Melbourne Cup race day, Ahdashim has narrowly beat race favourite Here De Angels to win the 1200m MSS Security Sprint.
Here De Angels got out early however Uncle Ivan started out a length in front of the favourite along with Custodian and Cocinero.
In the last 200m, Here De Angels was in the narrow lead with Ahdashim closing in on the six year-old gelding in the last 100m.
Ridden by the 2008 Melbourne Cup winning jockey Blake Shinn, Ahdashim won the race by less than nose length followed by Here De Angels and All Cheval in second and third place.
"I knew he was going to be strong…it means a lot to win on this horse on the Melbourne Cup Day," said Shinn.

Chirac's accidental victory?
By Robert Wain in Paris
The loss of Paris is the best news for President Jacques Chirac and the right in years.
Not a fashionable view, admittedly, when columns of assorted socialists, communists and Greens are conga-ing through the Place de l'Hotel-de-Ville. But one worth contemplating.
Who would have become mayor? Philippe Seguin - the man who personally won barely 19% in the 18th arrondissement in the first round of the vote, and who ran such a lacklustre campaign his own supporters were tearing their hair out in frustration?
Or Jean Tiberi, the incumbent mayor and leader of a rival right-wing list, who happens to be the man most closely associated with the "system" and all that was wrong with the Gaullist regime in the capital?
No, in all respects, continuation of the right-wing's hold would have been a disaster. Face might briefly have been saved, but the reputation for institutionalised corruption would have hung round their necks like an albatross - dogging the campaign for next year's parliamentary and presidential elections.
Gall and wormwood
As Alain Madelin, the president of the Liberal Democracy party, put it: "The problem for the right has boiled down to one word - Paris. It was an archaic and discredited system of government that we have to leave behind."
As things stand, there has been a painful break. The left-wing's jubilation must be gall and wormwood to many a Gaullist who thought Paris would be bourgeois for a thousand years. But the result means that in an instant the right's most dangerous wound has been cauterised.
And the shock may even force it to start the long overdue task of unifying its ranks in time for next year's campaigns.
Even the claim that the loss of Paris will do irremediable damage to President Chirac, who was its long-serving mayor and put the "system" in place, owes more to journalistic shorthand than reality.
It is after all six years since he left the Hotel de Ville, and during his time as president he has successfully raised himself well above the grubby fray.
So all in all Sunday was a good day for the right.
They scored excellently in the provinces, taking control of about 40 towns and cities. The left-wing government of Lionel Jospin was put on the defensive, with several ministers failing in their attempts to take or retain mayorships.
But perhaps history will relate that the right's biggest triumph of all was losing Paris.

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said that corruption is the main problem of Pakistan, and PTI will make reforms and give a prosperous Pakistan to the nation. He was talking at the joining ceremony of Jehangir Saifullah Khan at his residence here Wednesday.
Jehangir Khan is the chairman of Saif Group of Companies and son of Javed Saifullah Khan. He belongs to a veteran politician family of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa with three parliamentarians in his family, including his uncles Senator Saleem Saifullah Khan, MNA Humayun Saifullah Khan and MPA Anwar Saifullah Khan.
On the occasion, Imran Khan demanded of the rulers to resign from the government because they have failed to deliver. He said that PTI was the first party which presented the idea of an independent judiciary and refused to accept the 'War on Terror' as Pakistan`s war. He welcomed the new comer into the party.
Jehangir Saifullah Khan, while talking at the ceremony, announced joining the PTI formally. He said that Pakistan is full of natural resources and still we are lacking electricity. If these resources are used properly we can overcome the power crisis.
He informed Imran Khan about the problems of the southern districts of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa. He told the party chairman that the people of the southern Khyber Pukhtunkhwa are kept backward answering to which Imran Khan said that the PTI will resolve all the problems of Southern Khyber Pukhtunkhwa on emergency basis once it comes into power.

What will Hualalai's next eruption be like?
Hualalai, looming majestically above Kailua-Kona, is Hawaii's third most active volcano. The U.S. Geological Survey classifies it as a "high threat" volcano, based on its frequency of eruptions and the proximity of its vents to developed areas.
We can't say when Hualalai will next erupt, but we can offer clues about the nature of its next eruption.
We get these clues from Hualalai's past behavior. The geologic map of its volcanic deposits — see pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/i2213 — shows that ash deposits are found around vents along the volcano's rift zones and summit but rarely along coastal areas. The dominant features of the map are the several hundred lava flows covering the volcano's surface, about 35 of which have been dated from the past 25,000 years. About 200 eruptions produced lava flows within the last 10,000 years. From this, we conclude that the predominant threat from Hualalai is lava flows.
It appears that Hualalai's eruptions are clustered in time, separated by centuries of inactivity. The most recent cluster of activity included eruptions that ended in 1801 from six different vents within the volcano's northeast rift zone. Lava flows from the largest of these eruptions — Kaupulehu, to the northwest, and Huehue, Kona airport flows — have been examined in detail, and the results are surprising. The Kaupulehu flow erupted from the second highest vent, and the Huehue flow came from the lowest two vents. Both eruptions produced complex lava flows in phases that started with channelized aa flows and ended with pahoehoe flows.
The Kaupulehu lava flow is similar in character to the flow produced by Mauna Loa's 1984 eruption. If the comparison is correct, then, by analogy, the eruption rate of the two flows should be similar. Using this logic, we assume the eruption rate of the Kaupulehu flow to be about 300 cubic meters per second or 4 million gallons per minute. Using this eruption rate and the volume of the Kaupulehu flow — estimated to be about 160 million cubic meters, 130,000 acre-feet — the eruption must have lasted more than a week.
What we call the Huehue flow is actually two flows. The earlier one progressed from aa to pahoehoe, while the later flow was entirely pahoehoe. This later pahoehoe flow is very similar to today's active flows on Kilauea's coastal plain, suggesting, by analogy, that the Huehue flows advanced similar distances to the ocean over several days to weeks.
We can further use the analogy with Mauna Loa to estimate possible advance rates of future lava flows from Hualalai.
The initial lava flow that erupted from Mauna Loa in 1984 advanced more than 9 miles in little more than 20 hours. So, if Hualalai's next eruption produces lava flows similar to the Kaupulehu or the Huehue flows, we speculate they could reach the ocean in less than a day. Because developed coastal areas are 9 miles or less from the vents on Hualalai's summit and northeast rift zone, our next question is, will we be able to detect any eruption precursors?
We have one possible example from which to draw conclusions: an earthquake swarm that was interpreted to be an intrusion or a failed eruption. Starting Sept. 19, 1929, more than 6,200 earthquakes were recorded over the span of a month. Many of the earthquakes were strongly felt, especially near the Puu Waawaa cone, and two had magnitudes estimated at more than 6. The earthquakes alone produced "hundreds of thousands of (1929) dollars in damage." But no eruption occurred.
The Kaupulehu flow offers another possible clue about the duration of precursory signals: abundant, large xenoliths, rocks dragged up from depth with the ascending magma. From the size, shape, and mass of these xenoliths and the viscosity of the magma, we can estimate how fast the magma must have risen to carry these heavy rocks to the surface. Calculations suggest that the magma ascent was extremely rapid — hours to days — which, in turn, suggests a short period of precursory signals.
These are the reasons why the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory closely monitors Hualalai, even when there are no apparent changes on the volcano. Should any occur, we will immediately let you know.
Kilauea activity update
A lava lake within the Halemaumau Overlook vent produced nighttime glow visible from the Jaggar Museum overlook and via HVO's webcam during the past week. Two small deflation-inflation cycles early in the week at the summit caused the lava lake level to fluctuate slightly. As of Thursday, the lake level was dropping again with the onset of another DI event.
On Kilauea's East Rift Zone, scattered breakouts from the Peace Day tube remain active on the coastal plain. A small ocean entry is active just east of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park boundary. The Kahaualea 2 flow, fed from a spatter cone on the northeast edge of the Puu Oo crater, continues to be active and is burning forest north of Puu Oo.
There were no felt earthquakes in the past week across Hawaii Island.

I think part of why geeks are stereotyped as creepy is because they tend to have poor communication/interaction skills. They tend to be shy and when in a interpersonal situation, either overcompensate/try too hard or they are just clueless about the unspoken rules of interpersonal communication: comfort zones, appropriate topics, etc. My brother used to be this way and to some extent he still has trouble interacting in groups. He is MUCH better one on one. It's hard to grow and matured in social situations if you spend a lot of your time alone.
