Enable CONFIG_RC_XBOX_DVD ?
[PATCH] configs: remove...
error while compiling Vmwareplayer...

Hey, Would it be possible to enable the CONFIG_RC_XBOX_DVD kernel config, as a module, so that they can be used with Fedora? While the device itself might look like it isn't compatible with anything but an original XBox: https://retro.poromagia.com/media/images/products/2018/06/Xbox-DVD-Movie-... It can be plugged into any machine with USB easily, with a very cheap adapter: https://www.ebay.com/itm/273293737952 Cheers (I have 5 of those on my desk as we speak)

I enabled this on rawhide. (I think this was going into stabilization as well?) Thanks, Laura

Continuing with our round of interviews from LeakyCon in Chicago, MuggleNet staff member and Alohomora! co-host Caleb Graves sits down with TIME Magazine book critic and author Lev Grossman. You can watch the full conversation in the video posted above.
Grossman has long written about the Harry Potter series for TIME, but he is also a fan himself. The interview features a discussion about the endurance of the series, his experience at conventions, and his own book series.
The Magicians and The Magician King are the first two books in Grossman's trilogy, with the final book still to come. This series also features a magical school, called Brakebills, which is in some ways similar to Hogwarts, but also very unique. It's a great read for Potter fans out there! You can read reviews of many books, including those by Lev Grossman, right here.
60-Second Pet Decider: Baby Dragon or Owl?


In the presentation of the 2018 first quarterly achievements by the Ministry of Human Rights, Social Affairs and Gender, action plans were executed at 90% while government action plans were carried out at 92, 3% compared with the expected activities . Martin Nivyabandi, Minister of Human Rights, Social Affairs and Gender says the Human Rights were promoted at 94, 76 % in the ministry's quarterly achievements. "We did our best to achieve the expected goals," he says.
The commission of inquiry into Burundi has recently stated that the Human Rights situation continues to deteriorate. In mid-March 2018, Doudou Diène, Chairman of the commission of inquiry into Burundi has declared in front of the UN Human Rights Council that his commission has carried out 160 interviews, which added to another 500 conducted last year. "The commission has noticed that the situation is similar to the one observed last year," he has said.
Martin Nivyabandi says the Human Rights issue is more complex given that it is related to politics, social and environmental matters. He says Burundi has made significant improvements considering what have been achieved over the past few years. "We are surprised to hear some wrong reports conducted on Burundi", he says. Mr. Nivyabandi says the recent report of the commission of Inquiry into Burundi has only changed dates and repeated what has happened in the country since 2015.
Over the past few years, the government has severed ties with the UN High Commission of Human Rights in Burundi. Martin Nivyabandi says there was any agreement with the commission in the beginning. "They started working in Burundi as lawyers but step by step, they became UN officials without any contract," he says.
The Human Rights Minister says Burundi government must conclude an agreement with them to see if their presence is necessary or not before the resumption of their activities.

to blanket our bodies with the lethargy of shock.
Where is home among these chalk-dusted bones?
and from these bones, sound summoned an army of ghosts.
and some staggering, holding shoulders, holding limbs, holding hope.
with only heartbeats and hope to keep time.
in the priceless sacrifices oft claimed when the earth shrugs.
had them fail to heed the warnings of disaster.
to master our own fate.
anchor our aims on restoration.
a writer for Kathmandu Today heard a cry from the rubble.
despite eyes shut tight by silty sleep.

Smarter Drilling for Better Value
Health, Safety, Security and Environment
Life at Maersk Drilling
Get to know the drilling industry
COVID-19: How do you prepare for the unpredictable?
by Erik Roesen Larsen, VP, Head of HSSE
Over the last two months I have seen my colleagues around the world achieve some incredible things, defying the odds to keep Maersk Drilling's fleet working. As Vice President and Head of HSSE for Maersk Drilling, I have been at the heart of the crisis. Here, I share my thoughts on how to adapt to meet these unprecedented challenges.
Back in the beginning of February I went to a conference in Texas with around 100 decision makers from the oil and gas industry in attendance. I know it may seem odd now, but nobody really talked about COVID-19. Simply put, it was not on the radar yet.
I did speak briefly with a supplier about it. We discussed what we knew about the transmission and mortality rates in China. I left with a strong sense of 'we must learn more'. It felt like nobody had joined the dots together to look at impact and exposure.
Just a few weeks later, the home countries of those attendees were in national lockdowns – including Denmark, home of Maersk Drilling HQ.
During those weeks, things changed rapidly for us and many others. Our customers had a lot of questions, and it became clear that we had to apply a crisis management mindset.
The level of empowerment and trust that we have in Maersk Drilling meant that I could walk into the office of Nikolaj Svane, Chief Strategy & People Officer, with a cup of coffee in my hand and say, "We need to call for a task force, and we need to do it now." Ten minutes later, that task force was in place.
That week we worked fast and hard to establish a proactive, not reactive, approach.
The work that the task force did proved critical to Maersk Drilling getting ready for the looming situation. What's more, we realised that we had a system in place that was prepared for a crisis, not COVID-19 specifically, but a crisis. When we needed to 'push the button', we could do so immediately, helping us respond quickly to a crisis that could not have be predicted.
By the week of 9 March, the situation escalated globally. Overnight, it was as if the world just shut down. The 48 hours of 14 and 15 March were some of the most intense I have ever experienced. Everybody, from the task force to our rigs, worked endless hours to keep our operations running.
As always, our focus was getting our people and supplies to and from the rigs safely and efficiently.
One of our company values is Constant Care – take care of today and actively prepare for tomorrow. In this crisis, we have focused on three priorities when it comes to constant care: keep our people safe, keep our business running, and protect the value we create for our customers.
The safety of our people has always been top priority. As we continue to navigate through unchartered territory, we are rising to the challenges of keeping everyone safe, as one team. Everyone in Maersk Drilling has pulled together in remarkable ways. I am so impressed with so many people in this organisation. And even though we are a big company, it really feels like we are a family.
From Poland to West Africa, our crew members and crew coordinators have found innovative ways of working with the travel restrictions in place because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Poland for example, as commercial flights closed down we hired a bus to transport people to Germany and beyond.
And similarly, when the situation escalated in Angola and Ghana, our amazing crew coordinators somehow managed to not only complete crew change overs using private chartered flights, but at the same time make seats available for stranded European citizens. This was no easy feat, but it showed what enterprises and governments can achieve when we work together during unprecedented times.
These are perfect examples of the Maersk Drilling spirit. We find solutions to challenges and we keep spirits up while doing it. And it is moments like this that will help us cope with the uncertainty of the future. The ongoing work here at Maersk Drilling is and has been, an exemplary team effort.
The creativity displayed by our people in Poland and West Africa is a beacon, showing us how we can operate effectively within the national and international constraints, including social distancing, whilst also keeping our staff and client business moving.

North Carolina residents understand that some birth injuries are caused by negligent actions or a failure to act appropriately on the part of a doctor or other member of medical staff. In a recent case, parents blamed a doctor's failure to offer a timely diagnosis for their infant's brain damage. They filed a medical malpractice lawsuit in order to attempt to prove medical negligence on behalf of their child.
The case involved an incident that took place at the birth of the couple's infant. The claimants assert that because medical personnel failed to diagnose their child's jaundice in a timely fashion, the baby became afflicted with a condition known as "kernicterus," which causes serious brain damage. Some symptoms of the condition are said to include low muscle tone in a newborn and a very high-pitched cry. Reportedly, it's also difficult to wake the child when sleeping.
In typical cases, kernicterus leads to hearing loss and brain damage. In rare cases, the condition sometimes leads to death. It is considered common knowledge among medical professionals that prompt diagnosis of jaundice is the best way to avoid kernicterus. In the recent case, a jury verdict resulted in a monetary award of $6.25 million for the plaintiffs.
If a child of North Carolina parents has suffered an injury at birth or during other times of medical treatment, those parents have the right to pursue legal action against the party or parties they believe to have committed medical malpractice. A similar claim might allege negligence or error during ongoing medical treatment, labor and delivery of a child or surgery. Those responsible for negligence or error that leads to injury, illness or death may be held financially responsible for damages incurred if the court rules in favor of the claimants.

This quick tutorial will not go into the details of how to use the Google maps API, for that I refer you to the starter tutorial which is missing the fix needed to make the maps display properly in the iPad. This issue also affects the iPhone and should fix any problems there too. After thinking it was a CSS issue and fiddling with the CSS for over an hour I stumbled across more metadata options. In the Google example linked above, it shows a metadata name attribute of "viewport" with content attribute values of "initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no". You need a bit more than this for the iPad and iPhone. See below.
The most important value is maximum-scale=1.0, width=device-width is just in there for good measure. Basically this stops Safari from scaling or zooming your viewport when the orientation is changed. One note, sometimes the Safari browser won't forget the way it was displaying before you made your changes, a quick stop in options -> Safari and you will find a clear cache option.
Yes, it works! Helped me a lot! Thank you very much!


Rodney Harris was selected as the Grand Marshal for the Tyronza parade.
Harris will soon be retiring from the Tyronza Fire Department after 25 1/2 years of service.
Harris has lived in Tyronza for 30 years. He now works at a facility in West Memphis, East Ark Enterprises, that deals with serving the needs of the mentally and physically handicapped in Crittenden County. He is involved in the rental business in Tyronza. He has served on the Tyronza City Council for 16 years and has been assistant fire chief for the Tyronza Fire Department for five years. He was also a member of the Jaycees.
Harris has a daughter, Sandi Lynn Carroll, who teaches special education at East Poinsett County School and a son, Rodney Shea Harris, who is a freshman at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro. He is married to Debbie Harris.
"We were very pleased with the turn out," Fire Chief Tommy Baines said about the parade. "More people attended than expected."
Baines estimated 300 to 400 people attended the parade.
The parade included Sheriff Mills, the DARE car, Johnny Rye, five floats, Citizen of the Year - Miss Hill, the Tyronzie Brownie troop, five antique cars, a tractor-trailer truck, Tyronza Fire Department equipment and the band. The Tyronza Police Department led the parade.
The EPC first grade won first place in the floats division. First Baptist Church of Tyronza placed second. The Revival Center of Lepanto placed third.
"We're looking forward to next year," Baines said. "We're hoping it will be bigger and better."


On Thursday the 27th of February the year six netball team played a netball match after school against St Mary's School Gerards Cross. Within the first half it was an extremely tight game and we drew five-all, however Chalfont St Peter girls didn't let it get them down! For their next half we fought strongly and "upped" ourgame to come out winning with a score of 10-7.
Luckily the weather held out nice and dry (for once) to enable Chalfont's victory! The team were very proud! Well done girls!


Andrew has spoken at schools across Cambridgeshire and the UK, and given talks for interested groups and Science Festivals both locally and internationally. Organisations that have invited Andrew to speak include the The Royal Institution in London. His talks focus on looking at relevant science to today's world and draw on examples in history to see what we can learn.
If you wish to book Andrew to give a talk, please use the contact information found on the About page. Andrew also has wide range of media experiance having worked with Horizon, Cambridge Presents and BBC World Service, and is happy to receive requests to talk on his research and science in general.
Suitable for Year 6th Form and adults.
Based on the article of the same title published in Gizmodo UK, the talk discusses the limitations and opportunities for AI in the fight against cancer.
Suitable for Year 9, 10 & 11, 6th Form and adults.
Cancer has a massive impact peoples lives, yet the journey to understand the disease is a long and complicated one, and far from complete. This talk reflects back on some of the most important discoveries in cancer biology, and our hopes for the future.
This talk can include several demonstrations if facilities are available.
In the summer of 1909 a German scientist, Fritz Haber, demonstrated a single chemical reaction that changed the world forever. His experiment showed for the first time that it was possible to convert the endless supply of nitrogen from the air into an invaluable resource that would define the first half of the 20th century.
Of all the slang names for the British, none is more iconic than 'Limey'. While the the term provokes majestic outreach/images of the Golden Age of Sail, scurvy cost countless sailors and seamen their lives. It was once not unheard of for nine out of every ten members of a ship's crew to have succumbed to scurvy by the time it returned to port. The results of James Lind's work on the HMS Salisbury in 1747, which led to a cure, without doubt saved innumerable lives. Yet in Cherry-Garrard's account of Robert Falcon Scott's 1911 expedition to the South Pole, he writes: "There was little scurvy in Nelson's days; but the reason is not clear, since, according to modern research, lime-juice only helps to prevent it." So why did Lind's results get forgotten?
Suitable for Year 9, 10 & 11, 6 Form and adults.
A talk introducing the concept of entropy, and how it governs everything from the fate of the universe to the inevitable mess of my sock drawer. Created originally as a short talk for introducing the movie 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' at SciScreen events, it was later expanded to a full-length talk as part of National Science and Engineering Week 2012 where I gave the talk to several schools around Cambridgeshire. Depending on facilities availible the can contains several demos and lots of chances for audience participation.
It's Not Just Pretty Pictures!
Suitable for 6th Form and those interested in finding out about my research.
Being able to visualise the shapes of the various building blocks inside the cell has greatly expanded our understanding of life. Traditionally this is done by X-ray crystallography, yet despite a lack of pretty pictures, mass spectrometry really can provide interesting answers where other solutions can't. And don't worry – I'll also explain what all those complicated words mean.
Suitable for Year 9 and up.
Running time: 1 or 2 hours.
No requirements. Extra chemical modelling sets may be required for larger groups.
A workshop focusing on the shape and structure of organic molecules and how this affects their physical and chemical properties. The group will be led through a series of exercises requiring the use of chemistry modelling kits to appreciate the shape of many common organic molecules, and the importance this has. Great fun for anyone who likes building things.
A talk introducing the concept of entropy as found in the movie, and how it governs everything from the fate of the universe to the inevitable mess of my sock drawer.
Running time: 20 or 30 minutes.
A short talk about the science behind '2001: A Space Odyssey' and '2010: The Year We Make Contact'. Created for introducing the movie '2010' at SciScreen events. The talk covers the scientific concepts in the movies '2001' and '2010' including gravity, sound in space and artificial intelligence, which are presented in unique realism in the films. Using video clips from '2001' to demonstrate the science, the talk also recaps the plot of Kubrick's masterpiece.
A short talk on Game Theory in movies, covering how to survive a duel in the 'Wild West', the logic behind the Princess Bride, and the maths of 'A Beautiful Mind'. The show talk was original prepared to be given before a showing of the cult classic 'WarGames'.

« How would Joseph's original plan help Mary?
Inspiring Facebook posts, Part 3 »
"Some things are bigger than we know"
Just in time for Joseph's story this Sunday in Vinebranch, I'm posting this lovely song by a favorite band whose name I'm reluctant to name on a church-related blog—the New Pornographers. They're not pornographic at all! Apparently it's a reference to what Jerry Lee Lewis's cousin Jimmy Swaggart called rock and roll, back when it was a new and scary thing.
One thing I like about the song is the way it humanizes Joseph's plight: "Rumors are flying all over Galilee these days/ And, baby, I'm trying to be cool." I know it's not realistic (the language makes Galilee seem just like present-day North America) or even biblically accurate, but it works for me. It captures some of the hurt, anger, and jealousy that Joseph must have felt—at least before the angel came to him in his dream. Here's the YouTube clip. (The band is Canadian, but one of the lovely female harmony vocals belongs to American Neko Case. I'd pay to hear her sing the phonebook.)
You may be wondering, "Why don't we do this wonderful song in Vinebranch? After all, we don't have any other songs about Joseph to sing." It's tempting, but I wouldn't perform the song in church because of the line in which Joseph asks, "Mary, is he mine?" The question is ambiguous, but it implies that Joseph has already slept with Mary and hopes that he is the father. (But if that were the case, why would Joseph feel such jealousy to begin with? Like I said, it's ambiguous.)
Here's how one church band handled the problem: They have Joseph asking, "Mary, is he divine?" That's not bad. Regardless, this is a good performance.

The company admitted to committing 1,892 violations of pharmacy regulations. State regulators had demanded that the pharmacy recall its products and cease compounding new drugs until it complied with regulations. The pharmacy was fined $50,000, and the licenses of The Apothecary Shoppe and its head pharmacist were placed on five years' probation.

So the lovely Shaz over at @ShazsBookBlog decided she wanted to do a mega Summer giveaway this year and so she shouted out for bloggers and non-bloggers alike who would love to be involved. We at Compelling Reads of course jumped at the chance to give something back to our fabulous followers.
At the moment there are 11 of us, so there will be 11 winners.
The giveaway will run until 6pm UK time on the 14th where the winners will be selected via Rafflecopter and contacted for their postal details. Shaz will then pass on an address of one of the winner's to me and I will then post out a book. It will be a book which I think everyone should read this Summer.

"Centurion's contribution will go a long way in helping the Corrections Foundation support Florida Department of Corrections employees with medical bills or other emergency relief efforts like natural disasters."

The Foundation is there to assist staff and their families when they are most in need, and we are proud to support their mission."

Q: Haskell Patterns not matched: (_:_) _ I'm writing a function that takes an input a list, creates sublists, and retrieves n elements that it outputs into a new list. I'm writing guards depending on the value of the inputs, but I keep getting the error "Patterns not matched: (:) _".
Anyone identifies the issue?
nKsets :: [Int] -> Int -> [[Int]]
nKsets [] _ = error "Empty list should not be given as input"
nKsets l  n
    | n <= 0 = []
    | n > 0 = ...

The error I'm getting is:
Pattern match(es) are non-exhaustive
In an equation for 'nKsets': Patterns not matched: (_:_) _

A: The exhaustivity matcher doesn't know that all values of n are either greater than 0 or not greater than 0, so it assumes that your second definition is not exhaustive. Use otherwise instead of n > 0 to guarantee that a guard succeeds.
nKsets :: [Int] -> Int -> [[Int]]
nKsets [] _ = error "Empty list should not be given as input"
nKsets l  n
    | n <= 0 = []
    | otherwise = ...

You can also use a third definition instead of two guards on the second:
nKsets :: [Int] -> Int -> [[Int]]
nKsets [] _ = error "Empty list should not be given as input"
nKsets l n | n <= 0 = []
nKsets l n = ...

White & Case Ranked Top Firm in World Bank Investment Arbitration
Awards & Ranking
Credibility International
White & Case was ranked the top law firm in investment arbitration cases before the World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes ("ICSID"), in a recent study published by independent consulting firm Credibility International.
World Bank arbitration establishes by treaty a mechanism for the resolution of investor-state disputes that has exploded in importance over the past two decades. White & Case is a true pioneer in the field, and its depth of experience and breadth of successes is now confirmed by an independent survey. The Credibility International report is based on a comprehensive quantitative analysis of concluded World Bank cases, and ranks White & Case as the leading global law firm in World Bank arbitration across multiple categories:
Most Experienced: White & Case had the most experience in ICSID cases, with the highest number of ICSID merits awards of any law firm.
Most Successes: White & Case achieved the most successful results before ICSID of any law firm in the world, based on "pure wins and losses."
Strongest Successes: White & Case also achieved the most successful results before ICSID in a weighted analysis reflecting "the relative difficulty for achieving a claimant win," again far outpacing the second place finisher and far ahead of the rest of the field.
The study also highlights the specialized nature of investment arbitration, noting that "[t]here is only a small group of law firms that have established a substantial track record to date in terms of ICSID awards issued, and even a smaller subset of that group that have solid winning records." The study found that there are only six law firms with a meaningful number of concluded cases in the survey.
Credibility International's study included cases where merits awards were issued and publicly available as of June 30, 2013. The Firm has been a pioneer in cases before the World Bank, obtaining the highest paid ICSID award in history (2004), successfully handling the first case ever filed against a Latin American state (1995), filing the first case by a Latin American state ever registered at ICSID (2014), the first ICSID case to reach an award on the merits under the Energy Charter Treaty (2008), the first investment treaty claim before ICSID to be dismissed on grounds of corruption (2014).
Correspondingly, White & Case also has achieved a recent series of success in ICSID cases over the past year that are not included in the study, further distancing White & Case from other firms:
In Caraveli v. Republic of Peru, White & Case achieved total victory for Peru in a Spanish-language arbitration arising out of a Spanish investment in the Peruvian electricity sector.
In Convial v. Republic of Peru, White & Case achieved another total victory for Peru in a Spanish-language arbitration brought by alleged Argentine investors under the Argentina-Peru BIT relating to the construction of the Lima airport toll road. In both cases, the claimants were ordered to pay significant legal costs to Peru.
In Metal-Tech Ltd. v. Republic of Uzbekistan, White & Case achieved the dismissal of all claims under the Uzbekistan-Israel BIT on the basis of corrupt payments made by the opposing party to obtain its alleged investment. It is the first investment treaty claim before ICSID to be dismissed on corruption grounds.
In TECO v. Republic of Guatemala, White & Case obtained an award holding that Guatemala had breached its obligation under the CAFTA to provide fair and equitable treatment, and ordering it to pay the majority of TECO's costs.
In Republic of Peru v. Caraveli, the first case by a Latin American state registered at ICSID, White & Case obtained an agreement whereby Peru is paid $40 million for the damages requested plus costs.
In Isolux v. Republic of Peru, White & Case successfully obtained an award confirming the dismissal of all claims against our client Peru.

Avalanche & Anderson Keep Devils Winless at Home
Colorado 3 Devils 2
Playing with a full lineup for the first time in three games the New Jersey Devils fired a season-high 43 shots on goal and still lost 3-2 to the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night at the Prudential Center. Avalanche goalie Craig Anderson was the star of the night, turning aside 41 shots as the Devils home record fell to 0-2-1. "It's a little tough when we've been starting games the way we have, especially the last two games — out-shooting our opponents 10-0 or 15-3 — and we don't get anything, it's hard to get momentum," said Anderson's opposition Martin Brodeur. "The frustration builds up as the game goes on if you don't put the puck in the net early. It's definitely a little tough for the guys, but I think we worked through it and got a lot of chances. Not everybody is going to play like Jacques Plante against us every night."
The loss spoiled a night of first for some of New Jersey's young talent — rookie blueliner Matt Taormina scored his first NHL goal and had his first multi-point effort, while fellow rookie and defenseman Matt Corrente earned his first NHL point, an assist.
The Devils started the game strong, badly out-shooting the Avs (10-0 at one point) and still couldn't solve Anderson before his team finally woke up and scored the game's first goal. New Jersey killed off 3:56 of Colin White's four-minute double-minor penalty but Cody McLeod scored his first goal of the season when he beat Brodeur with a snap shot that the goalie said tricked him when it bounced off the ice and by him.
22 seconds after McLeod scored, he was kicked out of the game for boarding Taormina in the corner, giving the Devils a five-minute major power play. "We should have settled it down a little bit more and a little better support," said Devils winger Patrik Elias. "We have to learn how to relax a little bit with that power play; I thought in the second period when we scored on the PP, we kind of settled down, made some real good passes and had them running around." They continued to pepper Anderson with shots from all angles, and almost scored twice, but they ended the period trailing 1-0 despite holding a 17-3 edge in shots on goal. "We all had our opportunities on that power play, their goalie played well," said Taormina afterwards, "that happens."
TJ Galiardi extended the lead to 2-0 when he pounced on a loose rebound 11:48 into the second period, but it felt like 12-0 the way Anderson was playing. Three minutes later at 14:48 Taormina got New Jersey on the board with a booming slap shot that found its way through a maze of players and past Anderson. "We tell each other to shoot it on net and I did that; it's nice to finally get one, especially on the power play," said the 23-year-old rookie. "We played a good game, (but) we have some things that we have to fix."
The Devils entered the third period down by one, but quickly found themselves down by two again. "I think that we had maybe ten minutes in the second and the first ten minutes in the third we were kind of flat," said an unfazed Elias. "Not every game is going to go perfect, but we have to push each other. One line has to get good chances and we have to follow that up; I think we can push each other a little more." Chris Stewart (who now has four points in three career games vs. NJ) blasted a slap shot past Brodeur's glove hand at 4:31 for his second goal of the season.
Taormina then assisted on an Ilya Kovalchuk goal (for the second game in a row) to bring New Jersey back within one goal. The rookie fired a long pass to Kovalchuk who raced into the zone and snapped a wrist shot through Anderson, leaving the Devils with 11:15 left in the game to try to find the equalizer — which they never found. "I think we're playing well. It's just a matter of getting breaks offensively on our side," said Brodeur. "I think these breaks, eventually we're going to get, and we'll solve some of the flaws that we have in our zone."
The loss means that for the second consecutive year New Jersey (1-2-2) has dropped its first three home games; they will try again Saturday night when they host Boston (1-1-0). Colorado (3-1-0) continues their road trip and will play at the New York Islanders (1-1-2) the same night.
Game Notes: This is the second year in a row the New Jersey has lost their only meeting with Colorado. Taormina led all skaters in ice-time with 24:42 and Kyle Quincey led the Avalanche with 22:52. Kovalchuk led all players with seven shots on goal, while Daniel Winnik and Paul Stastny led the Avs with three apiece. Despite trailing in face-offs 2-9 after the first period the Devils finished the game 33-22. Rookie center Jacob Josefson (20th overall, 2009) made his NHL debut and saw 15:13 of ice-time, had one shot on goal and was 5-5 on face-offs. Stastny now has five points (1g-4a) in four career games against New Jersey.

#2 – TJ Galiardi (Col) – goal (1), assist (1)
#3 – Matt Taormina (NJ) – pp goal (1), assist (2)

If You're Not First, You're Last; but…
Normally that's how I see things: 'If You Ain't First, You're Last' — Ricky Bobby; but after seeing how Team USA played at the Winter Olympics, a silver medal isn't too bad for a group that no one was too familiar with and no one gave a chance to medal in the tournament filled with powerhouses.
So I felt I should thank the 23 players that made me not only proud to be an American, but proud to be a fan of American hockey. Thank you guys for giving us a scintillating two weeks of hockey and hope you can bring home the gold in 2014.

Being a good coder means delivering a good product – a usable and useful product. That meant adding UX skills to my development skills so that my code delivers what users want.
I'm a developer in a medium-sized business with a small software team. I've been asked to make decisions on UI and user behavior that I had no previous training or experience with. It's become clear to me that these decisions impact the quality of the code we produce; it isn't good code if users don't use the features we create. I want to make tools that make life easier for people in their day-to-day work.
Introducing a new discipline to our planning sessions brought me the respect of my supervisor and the executive team. I pitched analytics to examine current user behavior and where we losing people. I used quick but effective user research (thanks to what I learned with the IDF) with our internal users to gain insight and transform our perspective on those users. I've made strong professional bonds that have cleared the way for further career advancement. In other words, I was once a programmer, now I'm a UX developer unicorn.
The sheer volume of information and expertise is dizzying. The community is great and the staff is responsive and phenomenal. The literature is also top notch but the nothing can compare to the sheer amount and variety of what you can learn. The value is simply incredible.

FBI preparing for Waco-style armed raid in Oregon... local schools taken over by feds as staging areas for weapons stockpiling in preparation for massive assault
Tags: Oregon protesters, FBI armed raid, weapons staging
(NaturalNews) Natural News can now exclusively report that local schools near Burns, Oregon are being used as staging areas by FBI and other federal officials in preparation for an armed raid on the protesters camping out at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge.
This has been relayed to Natural News via TalkNetwork.com hosts who are on location and have independently affirmed the accuracy of this startling revelation. Pete Santilli, a talk radio host with TalkNetwork.com, is on the scene and broadcasting live from time to time at Talknetwork.com/live
The federal government is staging military-style weapons, tactical equipment and long-range observation gear inside at least one school, Natural News has learned, apparently contradicting the FBI's publicized claim that it seeks a "peaceful resolution" to the standoff. The kind of equipment being staged by federal officials is inconsistent with any "peaceful resolution" and looks intended to bring the standoff to a sudden and violent end with bloodshed caused by an armed government carrying out the mass slaughter of private citizens and protesters.
Most likely this equipment includes night operations gear such as PVS-27 light magnification optics that can be attached to existing rifle optics with requiring a re-zero, enabling federal officials to conduct night-time sniper fire on targets inside the compound. All signs now point to a night-time or early morning armed assault on the compound, with federal officials likely hoping to catch the armed protesters asleep or operationally disadvantaged by darkness.
An armed raid and slaughter by the feds would fulfill the insane calls for violence being heard today by irrational leftists like Montel Williams, just one of thousands of homicidal leftists who openly called for the government to slaughter the protesters with "shoot to kill" orders:
In an article entitled Why Are Leftists So Gung-Ho About Shooting Americans For Disobeying Government?, Breitbart.com's Ben Shapiro wrote, "In the aftermath of Ammon Bundy's group takeover of an empty government hut in the wilderness in response to the government's egregious miscarriage of justice against the Hammond family, the left has given in to its ravenous, Twilight-style bloodlust... Let's ignore that the left has routinely made excuses for actual violence from groups ranging from Baltimore and Ferguson rioters to Occupy Wall Street."
Yesterday, I also warned that a slaughter by the feds could ignite a nationwide armed citizens' revolt against federal tyranny. In that story, I urged federal officials to maintain a calm stance and seek a non-violent solution, even if it means waiting out the Oregon protesters for months.
Psyops and false flags
Meanwhile, Natural News has been told that there are "four to five layers of psyops taking place here," and a TalkNetwork hosts is now telling us that he was "confronted by multiple provocateurs" -- meaning undercover federal agents were somehow trying to get him to escalate the situation into more violence, creating a cover story for the feds to more easily "justify" an armed assault when the time comes.
Natural News has also learned that women and children are inside the compound, alongside the armed male protesters who have stated they are carrying firearms solely for self-defense and have no intention of initiating any acts of violence whatsoever. This means that if the feds stage an armed assault, they will be slaughtering women and children alongside the men.
UPDATE: This has also been confirmed by Brandon Darby of Breitbart.com who just posted this article and video, revealing the presence of a mother and baby inside the compound.
Furthermore, the FBI is actively attempting to interfere with independent media's ability to report the facts as they unfold on the scene. "The FBI is trying to shut down independent media," Pete Santilli told Natural News. Subtle efforts are being made to intimidate indy media and prevent it from being able to continue to stream video live from the location, most likely in an attempt for the feds to monopolize the narrative as they did in the Waco raids from two decades ago.
U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Ted Cruz has called for the armed protesters to "stand down," pleading with them to find an alternative way to resolve the situation that does not threaten violence. Yet right now, it seems like the federal government is the entity preparing to commit mass violence, not the camped-out protesters.

Duquesne Gets Commitment From Guard Mikey Bekelja, Sincere Carry's Brother
Duquesne's Game vs. St. Joseph's Postponed Due to Hawks' COVID-19 Test
Where Could Transplanted A-10 Tournament Be Held?
Duquesne guard Sincere Carry and Mikey Bekelja have been playing basketball together since the second grade. That was interrupted over the last two years when Carry joined the Duquesne Dukes, but it will resume again for the next couple of years.
Beklja, who is Carry's brother, announced on Tuesday that he's given a verbal commitment to play for Duquesne. The family connection between Bekelja and Carry is that Beklja's parents have been legal guardians of Carry since he was in sixth grade.

After graduating from Solon High School in Ohio, Bekelja committed to play at Fairmont State University but de-committed after head coach and former West Virginia guard Joe Mazzula left to take an assistant coaching job with the Boston Celtics. For the past year, Bekelja has been attending the International Sports Academy at Andrews Osborne in Ohio.
Duquesne basketball on Pittsburgh Sports Now is sponsored by The Summit Academy: setting young men on the path to a better future.
Ironically, first committing to Fairmont State and then ending up at Duquesne is the same route that Carry took as well. Keith Dambrot and his staff are hoping to get similar results from Bekelja as they've received from Carry in his first two years with the Dukes.
Prior to making his commitment official, PSN spoke with Bekelja about joining Duquesne and the opportunity to once again team up with his brother on the basketball court.
"The Duquesne staff has been following me a lot during my post-graduate season," Bekelja told PSN. "What led me to decide on Duquesne is that I feel it's a great fit for me and I love the coaching staff. Coach Dambrot is a great coach and he's always been a winner and of course, Sin is there, which isn't a bad thing. It was really a no-brainer and I see myself really fitting in with their program.
"I'm extremely excited to get back playing with my brother. I think our games compliment each other nicely and the chemistry that we share can't be beat. I'm really, really excited about it."
In terms of his role with the Dukes, Bekelja says that nothing specific has been mentioned to him, just that the Dukes staff told him they wanted to add a good guard. He has the flexibility and skill to play either point guard or as a shooting guard.
"One of my biggest strengths is my basketball IQ," said Bekelja. "Knowing when to make plays and my decision making on the court. I can't wait to get on campus, I'm ready to work and ready to do all the dirty stuff necessary to win. I'm looking to help out the team in any way that I possibly can."
The addition of Bekelja puts Duquesne right at the scholarship limit of 13 players. He joins three-star forward Andre Harris, three-star guard Tyson Acuff and shooting guard Jett Roesing as members of Duquesne's Class of 2020.

The Advocate's trusted source for property
Local Footy
A Nietta resident is calling on Sustainable Timber Tasmania to remove all foxglove weed from the timber plantation which neighbours her property. The call comes after Robin Duncan has had to lose her organic certification on the back part of her property as she was forced to spray the toxic weed to contain it. Ms Duncan was devastated when she had to make that call as she intended on growing organically certified food for the rest of her life. "It makes me so desperate and helpless that I can't get on top of it," she said. "At the very back of my property is a timber plantation. "The block above mine is all infested and the seeds wash down and germinate on my property." IN OTHER NEWS: Ms Duncan said it should be the responsibility of Sustainable Timber Tasmania to remove the weed from the plantation. "The horrific foxglove infestation now spreading across Tasmania is the direct result of the forestry industry's exemption from normal farming practices adhered to by farmers for many years in our beautiful state," she said. "When a neighbour has an infestation of rampant weeds, like ragwort a few years ago, it was the responsibility of the owner of the land to remove the plant. "It then became mandated that landowners were required to eradicate the plant and it worked." While acknowledging the efforts of Sustainable Timber Tasmania to try and fix the problem, Ms Duncan said they didn't do enough. "They (Sustainable Timber Tasmania) have made an effort to do something about my complaint but it is a token effort," she said. "Sustainable Timbers have come up and sprayed a thin strip along my boundary fence but there are still plenty of plants and the seed will just wash down and blow down to my property." In response, a Sustainable Timber Tasmania spokesperson said foxglove doesn't fall under the weed management legislation, meaning landholders aren't required to control it. "Sustainable Timber Tasmania works proactively with its neighbours to manage matters of shared interest which is demonstrated through an ongoing commitment in the forest industry's Good Neighbour Protocol," the spokesperson said. "Foxglove is an environmental weed and is not listed under Tasmania's Weed Management Act 1999 and as such, control of the weed is not a legal requirement of land managers. "However, in accordance with the Good Neighbour Protocol, Sustainable Timber Tasmania is involved in ongoing consultation with neighbours to implement reasonable measures in matters of shared interest."

Is it coming down to 'Crunch Time'?
Pirates have begun to escalate the use of force when they are confronted by warships. Last week, USS Ashland (LSD-48), a Whidbey Island-class amphibious ship, was fired upon when the ship moved to intercept a pirate skiff. Ashland returned fire and the pirates were apprehended.
Although the free use of the seas is often cited as a vital interest of the modern, globalized economies of the world, it appears that there are limits to how far the states providing forces will go to provide security for stateless corporations. Multinational shipping corporations, and even some state-owned ones, seem to be intent on offloading their security costs, either directly onto security providers or indirectly onto insurance companies.
