The Canucks have placed a focus on size and strength at the draft and on the trade front in recent years. The shift in philosophy is perhaps no better reflected than in the team's three best young forwards – Zack Kassian, Nicklas Jensen, and Brendan Gaunce. Coincidentally (or maybe not), the trio all play different positions as well.
Read on past the jump to find out whether Vancouver could be icing their own version of the famous Legion of Doom line in a few years.
Kassian is just getting his feet wet at the NHL level. Jensen has yet to play for the Canucks, and Gaunce is probably a few years away from donning Vancouver colours. However, the potential of having them jump over the boards together is intriguing to say the least.
The 21-year-old Kassian is already 6-3 and 225 pounds. The 19-year-old Jensen is 6-3 and over 200 pounds. Gaunce turned 18 only a few months ago, and he is already close to 6-3 and over 210 pounds. Could the Canucks have their own version of the Legion of Doom on the way?
The Legion of Doom line dominated with the Philadelphia Flyers in the mid 1990s. The trio of Eric Lindros centering John LeClair and Mikael Renberg recorded 666 points in 547 regular season games together. Lindros was a power forward in every sense of the world, using his size to intimidate and create offense. LeClair wasn't as intimidating as Lindros (few were), but he used his 6-3, 230 pound frame to score 406 career goals in the NHL. The 6-2, 220 pound Renberg lacked the star power of his linemates, but he held his own. As a rookie in 1993-94, Renberg scored a Flyers franchise rookie record 38 goals and 82 points. It took over 10 years for another European rookie to top 80 points (Alex Ovechkin in 2005-06).
From Bill Meltzer's Legion of Doom profile:
"Whatever they were called, the LeClair-Lindros-Renberg combination appeared practically unstoppable. All three players were unselfish with the puck and had soft hands to go along with their strength down low. Each player seemed to know where the other two were at all times. Once they caught the opponent in their deadly forechecking and cycling game, there was little the defense could do but take a penalty or ice the puck. Lindros presented a deadly combination of freight-train force and subtle finesse, with a sizeable mean streak. LeClair was almost impossible to take off the puck or move from in front of the net and also possessed a rocket of a slap shot. Renberg's speed on the off-wing and willingness to cover up high when the defense pinched added yet another dimension."
To get a better idea of how the three prospects project, I consulted OHL prospect expert Brock Otten. Brock follows the OHL very closely, which made him the perfect guy to consult. Kassian, Jensen, and Gaunce all played, or are currently playing in the OHL.
Most Canucks fans are well aware of Kassian. In case you aren't, I profiled his career to date last month – a column you can read here. Let's start with Nicklas Jensen.
Who does he compare to in terms of playing style?
I'm not really a comparison guy. If you've got a gun to my head, I'd probably go with a guy like Drew Stafford in Buffalo, or even similar in nature to the way Jeff Carter plays when he's on the wing. Jensen's a big guy, and very good at protecting the puck (very strong lower body), but he's not an overly physical player and he isn't a beast along the boards. He is a guy who uses his size to his advantage offensively/to generate offense, but not really in any other area.
What is his upside? Top line? Second line?
I think it depends on the maturation of the rest of his game. He's a goal scorer, but he'll need to increase his intensity away from the puck, and become a more well rounded offensive player (to help his linemates) to be a top line guy (at least consistently). I could see him becoming a consistent 30-goal guy.
The Canucks are supportive of Jensen's choice to go to the SEL next year if he doesn't make the team – the coaching staff loves him but there probably isn't room for him on the club right now. Do you think this is a good move for his career?
Apparently things weren't going well for him in Oshawa last year, and it showed. I think his game (at least in the OHL) actually slightly regressed last year. I wasn't impressed with him. It was a tough situation in Oshawa with them not meeting the expectations placed upon them to start the season. Going to the SEL would be huge for his development at this point (he can't go to the AHL) because I think he needs to play against men. He needs to improve his effort level and fight for every inch of ice. I think it'll help him learn to use his linemates better too.
If he isn't NHL ready now, how far away is he?
I think pretty soon. He's already a pretty strong guy, and if his playoff performance in the AHL is any indication, it looks like he'll have no problems scoring goals against men. It's the other stuff that needs improvement before he steps foot in the NHL. If his game is able to really mature, he seriously challenges for a top-six spot in 2013-2014.
To me, he seems like a guy with very projectable skills for the NHL – puck protection, vision, and hockey IQ. Would you agree?
He's got everything you'd look for in a goal scoring winger at the NHL level. I suppose here I'll elaborate a bit more on the shortcomings that I've sort of been dancing around. Jensen's play away from the puck is very inconsistent. Occasionally, he engages in the corners, and is active on the forecheck, but for a guy his size and with his strength, he should be much more open to getting his nose dirty. At times, he's too complacent for my liking and seems completely satisfied to let his linemates do the dirty work for him (especially this season). I also think that he gets too drive happy. Once he gets the puck on his stick in the offensive zone, he's thinking one of two things. Drive to the net, or shoot. At times this led to turnovers this year. The goal scoring ability could probably translate to the NHL right now. The other stuff needs work.
Of the three, Jensen sounds the most like Renberg based on Brock's answers (and not just because they are both European). Big and powerful skater with a diverse offensive skill set.
On to Gaunce.
From what I have seen of Gaunce, he reminds me a lot of Jordan Staal in the OHL. You can see the skills, but the skating and first step is holding him back. Jordan's development really took off after his skating improved – both guys are really big and rangy and so smart with and without the puck. Do you agree with the comparison? Why or why not?
Skating wise, they're similar. Everything else, I don't see it.. Staal (despite what the OHL numbers would suggest), is more of a goal-scoring center. In the OHL, he was a real solid crease crasher and got a lot of his goals in close. In the NHL, his shot has developed a lot, but he still remains primarily a goal scoring center. Gaunce, on the other hand, is more of a big playmaking center. He's got among the best vision and playmaking ability in the OHL. His play away from the puck is outstanding too and it really helps to create time and space for his linemates. He's also way more physical than Jordan ever was. Brendan is someone who thrives on the physical aspects of the game. He throws big hits and is very active in the corners and on the forecheck. While I don't expect him to put up the gaudy offensive numbers that he did in the OHL, or NHL, Gaunce is much more of a Keith Primeau type of center. In regards to Gaunce's skating, his brother Cameron (Avs prospect) had the same problem when he was in the OHL. But he really improved it over the course of his OHL career. I'd expect the same out of Brendan. Once his skating improves, it'll help his game in transition and make him a much more effective puck carrier.
How far off from NHL action is he?
I don't think he's the type of guy you want to rush, even if he's already a strong two-way presence. It worked for the Avs with Ryan O'Reilly, but he's the anomaly. Most of the time, when NHL teams end up rushing guys like Gaunce, it stunts their offensive potential. I'd like to see him in the OHL for a while to let his offensive game grow, let his skating improve, and let him continue to develop his leadership qualities. He could probably play in the NHL next year and not hurt the Canucks. But it wouldn't be a smart move. I think he's at least two years away.
Could he pull a Ryan O'Reilly and make an impact in a defensive role as a rookie? The Canucks have their top two centers around for a while.
He could pull an O'Reilly, but I don't think it'd be a smart move for the reasons I listed above.
What does he need to work on, asides from skating and first step acceleration?>
The two biggest things would be puck carrying and his shot release. He's got a big, powerful shot, but he needs some space to get rid of it. He needs to work on a quicker release, and using his size to give him separation and time. And the puck carrying, well that'll need to improve to make him a more effective offensive player off the rush.
Were you surprised he dropped to 26, or was it more a case of teams having guys ranked higher?>
Not surprised at all. In fact, I was hearing rumblings he could fall to the second round. When you factor in the fact that a lot of scouting agencies questioned his upside… and his skating issues, it makes sense for teams to go for guys they feel have greater potential. Do I agree with it? Not really, but I see the reasoning behind it.
Could you see the three eventually forming a line together with the Canucks?
Yeah, I could see that happening. Gaunce and Kassian are solid playmakers, while Jensen is the finisher. The only thing I'd worry about is the speed of the line. None of the guys on it are really burners. They'd really have to dominate down low to find success offensively.
Kassian is likely to begin the season with the Canucks in some capacity. Jensen has a shot at making the roster too, but it would take a stellar training camp on his part to make the big club. Gaunce likely needs a few more years in the AHL. Mike Gillis has lived up to his word on trying to get younger, bigger, and stronger. Now we wait. Vancouver's three best forward prospects are all big and powerful with different strengths offensively. The idea of the three of them forming a line down the road is an interesting (and not completely unrealistic) one.

Gov't likely to join Armstrong case
Send a link to a friend
[January 15, 2013]
(AP) -- An attorney familiar with cyclist Lance Armstrong's legal problems said Tuesday that the Justice Department is highly likely to join a whistleblower lawsuit filed against Armstrong by former teammate Floyd Landis.
The False Claims Act lawsuit could result in Armstrong paying a substantial amount of money to the U.S. government. The deadline for the department to join the case is Thursday, though the department could seek an extension if necessary.
According to the attorney, who works outside the government, the lawsuit alleges that Armstrong defrauded the U.S. government based on his years of denying use of performance-enhancing drugs. The U.S. Postal Service was a longtime sponsor of Armstrong's racing career.
The attorney spoke on condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak on the record about the matter.
[to top of second column]
The attorney said Armstrong's lawyers have met with the Justice Department to discuss what damages would be paid. However, the attorney said, the two sides have very divergent views of the amount.
After a decade of denial, Armstrong said he used performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France. The disgraced cyclist made the confession to Oprah Winfrey during an interview taped Monday, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. That person spoke on condition of anonymity because the interview is to be broadcast Thursday on Winfrey's network.

Sobriety checkpoints are legal in North Carolina (see N.C. Gen. Stat. §20-16.3A). These checkpoints (also referred to as "mobile checkpoints" or "roadblocks") are police traffic stops that are not tied to any specific or individual suspicions. The locations chosen for checkpoints are temporary and "random" (although you may be able to learn more about when or where these checkpoints will be instituted in North Carolina by checking roadblock.org or duiblock.com).
During a sobriety checkpoint, drivers are briefly detained and interviewed after which suspicious drivers are subject to sobriety tests. The goal of these checkpoints is to weed out inebriated drivers and therefore keep the roads safer. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), sobriety checkpoints have the potential to prevent nearly 1 out of 10 DUI-related deaths.
Yes, the Constitution requires that a police officer have probable cause for a traffic stop. But the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the dangers from drunk driving outweigh the "degree of intrusion" of sobriety checkpoints and they are an exception to the search and seizure provisions of the U.S. Constitution. Subsequently the National Highway Safety Transportation Board has issued guidelines for police when administering a sobriety checkpoint. Perhaps the most important guideline is that the police must publicize the checkpoints ahead of time. Each state may also impose its own guidelines (or the states may outlaw checkpoints entirely, as 12 states have done).

NEWS- Imprinted: School kids release fish schools
Close to 100 school kids released 400,000 shad fry into the Rivanna River, and if all goes well, in a few years these same children might meet up again with some of these same shad, spawning away in the waters near Darden Towe Park.
Children from Stone Robinson Elementary helped with the April 19 release of thousands of just-hatched shad. "They look like threads with eyes," says Rivanna Conservation Society member Jason Halbert, whose efforts to partially breach the Woolen Mills dam will make it possible for some of these shad to return. Maybe.
The mortality rate is high for shad. They swim down to the sea, where they spend their adult lives. Only one-half to one percent will make it back up the Rivanna to Darden Towe four to six years from now to spawn and die, according to Halbert.
The tiny transparent fry released last week were treated with a dose of tetracycline, which changes the color of their ear bones. That will allow biologists to tell whether any survivor shad came from this release– although the "survivors" must be decapitated to make the determination.
Will the Rivanna once again teem with the silvery fish who've been absent for the past 150 years? Check back in 2011.
Chris Jackson, a fourth-grader from Stone Robinson Elementary, holds a bag of fry to be dumped in the river.

The celebration of Mardi Gras came to North America from France where it had been celebrated since the Middle Ages. In 1699, French explorer Iberville and his men explored the Mississippi River from the Gulf of Mexico. On a spot 60 miles south of the present location of New Orleans, they set up camp on the river's West Bank. Knowing that the day, March 3, was being celebrated as a major holiday in Paris, they christened the site Point du Mardi Gras.
But Mardi Gras' roots predate the French. Many see a relationship to the ancient tribal rituals of fertility that welcomed the arrival of Spring. A possible ancestor of the celebration was the Lupercalia, a circus-like orgy held in mid-February in Rome. The early Church fathers, realizing that it was impossible to divorce their new converts from their pagan customs, decided instead to direct them into Christian channels. Thus Carnival was created as a period of merriment that would serve as a prelude to the penitential season of Lent.
In the late 1700s pre-Lenten balls and fetes were held in New Orleans. Under French rule masked balls flourished, but were later banned by the Spanish governors. The prohibition continued when New Orleans became an American city in 1803, but by 1823, the Creole populace prevailed upon the American governor, and balls were again permitted. Four years later street masking was officially made legal.
In the early 19th Century, the public celebration of Mardi Gras consisted mainly of maskers on foot, in carriages and on horseback. In 1837, a costumed group of revelers walked in the first documented "parade," but the violent behavior of maskers during the next two decades caused the press to call for an end to Mardi Gras. Fortunately, six New Orleanians who were former members of the Cowbellians, (a group that had presented New Year's Eve parades in Mobile since 1831), saved the New Orleans Mardi Gras by forming the Comus organization in 1857. The men beautified the celebration and proved that it could be enjoyed in a safe and festive manner. Comus coined the word "krewe" and established several Mardi Gras traditions by forming a secret Carnival society, choosing a mythological namesake, presenting a themed parade with floats and costumed maskers, and staging a tableau ball following its parade.
After the Civil War, Comus returned to the parade scene in 1866. Four years later, the Twelfth Night Revelers debuted. This unique group made Carnival history at its 1871 ball when a young women was presented with a golden bean hidden inside a giant cake, signifying her selection as Mardi Gras' first queen and starting the "king cake" tradition. A visit by the Russian Grand Duke Alexis Romanoff was the partial inspiration for the first appearance of Rex in 1872. The King of Carnival immediately became the international symbol of Mardi Gras. Rex presented Mardi Gras' first organized daytime parade, selected Carnival's colors — purple, gold and green, produced its flag, and introduced its anthem, "If Ever I Cease To Love." On New Year's Eve, 1872, the Knights of Momus also entered the Carnival scene. Several Carnival parades in the 1870s ridiculed the government in Washington D.C. and Carpetbagger Administration in Louisiana.
The popular Krewe of Proteus debuted in 1882 with a glittering parade that saluted Egyptian Mythology. The Jefferson City Buzzards, the grandfather of all marching clubs, was formed in 1890. The first black Mardi Gras organization, the Original Illinois Club, was launched in 1894. Two years later, Les Mysterieuses, Carnival's first female group, was founded and presented a spectacular Leap Year ball.
The final year of the Century saw snow in New Orleans on Fat Tuesday, which fell on St. Valentine's Day. Legend has it that Rex paraded with a frozen mustache!
One of the first and most beloved krewes to make its appearance in the 20th Century was Zulu. Seven years before its incorporation in 1916, this black organization poked fun at Rex. The first Zulu King ruled with a banana stalk scepter and a lard can crown. While Rex entered the city via a Mississippi River steamboat, Zulu used an oyster lugger to plow up the New Basin Canal.
The new Century brought with it some difficult years. World War I canceled Carnival in 1918-1919, but Mardi Gras survived this struggle, along with the Prohibition of the Twenties and the Great Depression of the Thirties.
In 1934 Carnival festivities hit the West Bank of the Mississippi with the first Alla parade. Random truck riders were organized into the Elks Krewe of Orleanians in 1935. The Krewe of Hermes and the Knights of Babylon were organized in 1937 and 1939, respectively.
In the Forties a new spirit of Mardi Gras was ushered in, pausing only for the United States' involvement overseas. Before World War II canceled four Carnivals, the first women's parade graced the streets of New Orleans with the Krewe of Venus' inaugural pageant in 1941. New Orleans' favorite son, Louis Armstrong, returned home to ride as King of the Zulu parade in 1949. In honor of the event, Satchmo's likeness made the cover of Time magazine.
The Fifties provided international publicity and continued expansion of Mardi Gras. Real royalty, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, honored the make-believe Monarchs of Merriment as they bowed to Rex and Comus at the 1950 Comus ball. The next year the Korean conflict canceled much of Carnival, but several krewes combined to form the Krewe of Patria, which paraded on Fat Tuesday. After nearly a century of mule-drawn floats, tractors replaced the faithful beasts. The decade also saw the formation of other krewes, including Zeus, the first suburban club, which paraded in Metairie.
The Sixties were characterized by turbulence and change. The early years saw the Greater New Orleans Tourist Commission try to convince the hippies that the title "Greatest Free Show on Earth" was not to be taken literally. The "Easy Rider" generation had City Hall worried, and rumors that the infamous Hell's Angels were going to roll into town and crash Carnival had the entire town uptight. Nothing negative happened, and Carnival continued without incident.
Pete Fountain started his Half-Fast Walking Club in 1961 and it quickly became a hit with Fat Tuesday crowds. Thinking that the antics of the Krewe of Zulu were undignified, portions of the black community put pressure on the group. Its king resigned and the 1961 parade was almost canceled. Not only did Zulu survive, however, but by 1969, its parade was also a main attraction on Canal Street. Finally, just as the decade had begun with the historic introduction of the Rex doubloon, so did the period end with another landmark event — the start of the Bacchus organization. The krewe's founders, feeling that the traditional Mardi Gras institutions had become static, wanted to attract national attention and make Carnival more accessible. In 1969, Bacchus shook the establishment by presenting the largest floats in Carnival history, by having a Hollywood celebrity ride as its king (Danny Kaye), and by presenting, in place of the traditional ball, a supper dance to which tickets could be purchased by both visitors and locals. These innovations proved immensely popular and were to be copied by several future carnival organizations in New Orleans.
Carnival's growth continued throughout the Seventies with the birth of 18 new parading krewes, and, ironically, the death of 18 others. More than one dozen clubs featured celebrities in their parades. Argus brought a Fat Tuesday parade to Metairie, and Endymion exploded into a super-krewe in 1974. A ban on parading through the French Quarter ended a 117-year tradition, and a moratorium of new parade permits put a temporary cap on expansion in Orleans Parish. The decade ended with a police strike in New Orleans, causing the cancellation of 13 Mardi Gras parades in Orleans Parish. Twelve parades rescheduled in the suburbs.
The decade of the 1980s saw the dawn of 27 new parades and the demise of 19. The Mardi Gras parade calendar shrank drastically in St. Bernard Parish, while in St. Tammany and Jefferson Parishes, Carnival continued to grow. By 1989, more than 600,000 people annually attended parades on the east and west banks of Jefferson Parish on Fat Tuesday.
Feeling the need for better safety measures and more coordination of Carnival activities, the Mayor of New Orleans formed a Mardi Gras Task Force to study all aspects of the celebration. In 1987, Rex resurrected "Lundi Gras," the customary Monday arrival on the Mississippi River which the group had enjoyed from 1874 to 1917. The traditional tableau ball, once an essential activity for all parading krewes, lost its popularity, with only about 10 of the 60-plus clubs still retaining a bal masque format by the decade's end.
Doubloons lost some of their luster as several krewes stopped minting them. Krewe-emblemed throws of every imaginable variety gained popularity, however, with imprinted cups leading the pack.
Perhaps the greatest change in Mardi Gras in the 1980s was the tremendous increase in tourism during the Carnival season. Conventions which once had avoided New Orleans at Mardi Gras used the celebration as a reason to assemble here. International media attention was focused on Mardi Gras in the late 1980s, with camera crews from Japan, Europe and Latin America showcasing the festivities. Mardi Gras also became a year-round industry as more off-season conventions experienced the joys of Carnival when they were treated to mini-parades and repeat balls held in the city's convention facilities.
Historians may one day record the decade of the Nineties as a pivotal one in Carnival history. While an in-depth economic impact study revealed that Mardi Gras' annual economic impact finally neared the billion dollar mark, political intervention decreased the size and scope of the celebration. Shortly before the 1992 season, a New Orleans city ordinance was enacted that required all parading krewes to open their private membership. Comus, Momus and Proteus protested the government's intrusion into their affairs by canceling their parades, while Rex opened it membership to blacks.
Eleven new parades debuted in the 90s, while 15 folded. The Krewe of Orpheus, led by Harry Connick Jr., was an instant hit and quickly assumed super-krewe status.
The birth of Le Krewe d'Etat and the Ancient Druids, plus the triumphant return of the Krewe of Proteus in 2000, were highlights as Mardi Gras marched on into the new millennium. The year was also the first when the economic impact of Carnival crossed the one billion dollar mark. The next year, the new female krewe of Muses debuted to an excited parade crowd.
The horrific events of September 11, 2001, impacted Mardi Gras by reducing the number of visitors in subsequent years.
In 2002, some 15 parades were pushed back one week to avoid a conflict with the rescheduled Super Bowl in New Orleans. In a hotly negotiated settlement, Orleans Parish krewes whose parades were displaced were reimbursed $20,000 each for their losses.
The first decade of the 21st Century may be remembered as a time of consolidation and improvement of the existing product rather than the addition of more and more parades. Citing a dramatic rise in the demand for city services — police, sanitation, emergency — local govenments sought ways to raise revenue and reduce costs. A moratorium on new parades in Orleans and Jefferson Parishes has been issued.

Two plans to reform the library system following news that Thomas Galante was earning roughly $392,000 per year for his duties as the board's executive director and potentially misusing public and private funds for library branch renovations were introduced in April.
One bill sponsored by a pair of Queens Democrats, State Senator Michael Gianaris and Assemblyman Jeffrion Aubry, creates an audit committee to oversee the library's accounting and financial reporting processes and annual audits.
Additionally, the plan includes the establishment of a labor relations committee to address labor issues and oversee the contracting out of services. It passed the Assembly last week by a vote of 132–0.
Now it needs to pass the State Senate before the legislative session ends, but it is unclear if it will get to the floor for a vote because the Republicans enjoy a majority in that body by working with a group of five Democrats who caucus with them.
Aubry said he believes a competing bill presented by Queens State Senator Tony Avella - one of those five Democrats - only hurts the chances of bringing about change in the current library structure.
"The question is whether or not Senator Avella is going to try to create influence so that it doesn't get passed," Aubry said. "It's a strange set of circumstances and he has a bill that no one else is on, and wants to stomp our bill because he doesn't like it."
Aubry said the competing legislation from Avella is preventing their bill from getting to the State Senate floor for a vote.
"It's really about do you want to solve this problem in the limited time that you have," he said. "He has no respect for his colleagues. This is legislative arrogance."
A spokesperson from Avella's office reported negotiations with a representative from Gianaris' office on Monday "late into the night" to try to reconcile the two pieces of legislation.
"We're hopeful that the elected officials will move past all the politics in which they are clearly engaging and allow the parties to compromise and govern for the betterment of Queens," the spokesperson said.
In addition to what is included in the Gianaris and Aubry bill, Avella's legislation creates new requirements and reviews for the library Board of Trustees, makes the library board subject to freedom of information laws, and also reforms all three of the city's library systems, not just Queens.
Avella contend the Aubry and Gianaris bill lacks teeth and doesn't really address the heart of the issue because it allows the Board of Trustees to effectively oversee itself.
"Change only happens when there's a real problem, and because of the controversy we have an opportunity to do something about this," Avella said during a recent meeting with this newspaper's editorial staff to discuss his reform proposal. "Their bill is one step above feel-good legislation. It looks nice, but it doesn't address the problems."
In response to the meeting on Monday night, Gianaris said it was nothing more than an attempt to convince Avella to drop his proposal to allow a clear path for his own bill.
"We're trying hard to get it done, but he continues to be an obstacle," Gianaris said. "I made an effort to try and convince him not to stand in the way of trying to achieve reform, and at this point he continues to obstruct."

Welcome to my new web-page! I am a Partner Researcher in the RiSE group at Microsoft Research.
My main area of research is software model checking, program analysis, testing, verification, security, and software engineering.
My main research topic during the last 25 years has been software model checking in a broad sense. Currently, I am working mostly on automating software testing (and test generation in particular) using static and dynamic program analysis. This approach to software model checking via systematic testing combines program analysis, testing, model checking and theorem proving. It is implemented in Microsoft tools like SAGE, PEX and YOGI.
Since joining Microsoft, my main project has been SAGE, a whitebox fuzzer for security testing. SAGE extends systematic dynamic test generation (introduced in DART) to handle large applications and is optimized for long symbolic executions at the x86 binary level. So far, SAGE has found many new expensive security bugs in many Windows applications, and is now used daily in various Microsoft groups. More information on the research behind SAGE can be found in the papers below. See also SAGE in one slide (old version) and SAGE for dummies (10min video).
In 2015, I co-founded Project Springfield and served as its CTO. Springfield is the first commercial cloud fuzzing service. It was renamed Microsoft Security Risk Detection in May 2017.

Phone Scoop Review
Feb 22, 2011 by Eric M. Zeman
Samsung has updated the Vibrant variant of its Galaxy S line with HSPA+ at 21Mbps. Is a faster data radio worth the upgrade? Find out in Phone Scoop's review. read review ›
User Reviews
Average Ratings
Even better than the original
This phone is just amazing. The Galaxy S (Vibrant) model was good, but this just keeps getting better. You still get the great AMOLED screen which is just mesmerizing, and a great 5MP camera, but now you also get longer battery life, snappier processing, a front facing camera, and the fastest 4G capability to date! The only thing that keeps this phone from a full 5 rating is they downgraded the built-in memory from 16gb to 1gb and now give you a 16gb sd card. Other than that? Stellar.
A heck of a good phone
So speedy! I chose to forsake my secondhand iPhone 3G, and I'm so glad that I did. This is a gorgeous phone with a lot of great features, and it's amazingly fast.
Takes beautiful, clear pictures
Can run several apps at once with no lag
Great selection of apps in store
Gorgeous screen with bright colors
Easy to close apps
Highly customizable
SD card memory can be upgraded
Very hard to read screen outside in daylight
Swype takes some getting used to
Camera is slow
Overall, this is a great phone. My mom's getting one too!
AD reviews continues below...
Good, but....
I must say that having owned previous Androids has not helped my experience with this phone. At first it seemed to be amazing with a large screen and fluid UI, but soon there after the flaws began to appear. The screen is large, but the pixels are too few. Most pictures and wallpapers are missing the "pop" other makers have like LG and images appear grainy! (we're in 2012 right?) grainy is NOT acceptable at this point. The camera is way too slow for my taste. I clocked a picture at 2 seconds! Also, when you have too many apps downloaded the interface becomes slow.
Screen size
GPS- Awesome maps
Screen quality
Power under the hood
Keyboard (doesn't type well)
Look at LG (better colors and processor) or HTC.
A little disappointed
The phone started off fine but then it started to become slow. Then it would freeze or go to a black screen whenever I tried to call, text or go to an app. Got very aggravating.
When I had this phone I loved it! The screen was beautiful.. The keyboard & swype was very responsive.. Ringtones are loud, and phone calls sound good. Movies and videos show excellent on this phone. I didn't really too much care for the camera.. There was this annoying spot in the middle of the camera when taking pictures indoors. Great app selection. 4G always worked to it's fullest potential. If it wasn't for T-Mobiles horrible reception and lack of towers. I would have been happy to keep this phone for 2 years. Perfect smartphone I tell ya.
Big Improvement
I've had my 4g for a little over a week now, and I'm very impressed! I traded my Vibrant which I loved, but which had the annoying habit of dropping to EDGE regularly, especially inside my house. So far I have been dazzled by the SPEED of this thing! I've been getting near 10 mbps download speeds, every bit as fast as my wifi. The ONLY thing I'm disappointed with is the internal memory. Why, oh why, Samsung, did you not copy the Vibrant and put 16 gigs of internal in this thing???? That in my opinion is the only weakness of this phone.
AWESOME screen
Amazing Battery Life (my Vibrant would drain from just a few hours of web/texting)
Great call quality
Synchs better with my bluetooth headset than my Vibrant did
No camera flash

Samsung Galaxy S 4G
I must say that this phone is the best phone made by Samsung I have ever owned. For a long time after owning several Samsung phones, I would not buy them for a long time, but this one is the best ever. Coming from the Sprint HTC EVO, Blackberry Bold, HTC Hero, HTC Touch Pro 2, I highly recommend getting this phone if you are looking for a phone that costs less than dual core phones, but does the same thing.
Super AMOLED screen
Good battery life and power saving features
4G is HSPA + that WORKS (4G was a joke on Sprint)
This phone DOES NOT BURN A LOT OF BANDWIDTH, unlike HTC devices, so you can be a heavy user as I am, and not burn your data cap limits
Very clear call quality
Speaker is loud and clear
Phone ringers are loud and clear
16 GB memory card
Ability to move apps to card
Phone has a call reject list that accurately blocks unwanted callers built into the call function
Camera takes beautiful pics even without a flash
Video is crystal clear and movies play clear
TouchWiz interface does not interfere with the overall Froyo 2.2 Android OS experience, compared to Sense UI on HTC devices that overpowers Android OS
Comes with too many pre-loaded apps you cannot get rid of
Internal memory is less than 1GB with all the apps preloaded in the phone
When the battery is low, the screen automatically dims and it can be annoying at times
The Cons of the phone are tolerable. There is no perfect phone, but this one comes close to it. Way to go Sammy!!

First Android Phone
Used to own a HTC DASH 3G, Palm Treo 650/700, and multiple blackberries. Overall the phone is solidly built, and has all features I'm looking for in a top of line smart phone
The phone is beautiful, it has really good sound and the size/weight is on par or better than many of the other Android phones I compared at T-Mobile
- AMOLED Screen is one of the best I've seen.
- 16GB SD Card included
- 4" Screen Size
- 1650 mAh battery
- Micro-USB connector
- Easily Rootable
- Light Weight
- WiFi Tethering
- Some very popular software crashes on phone
- Camera could have better zoom and flash
- Some of the system settings could be more customizable (e.g. power control settings, screen brightness settings, sound control settings)
In closing, even with the Cons, if you're happy with Android Froyo 2.2 I'd highly recommend this phone. But this phone has all of the features I want from a phone that isn't an iPhone and considering that T-Mobile's plans are incrementally less expensive than AT&Ts and the 4G support is pretty good.
BB to Android Galaxy S 4G
I had the first tmobile touch screen smart phone...then to the bb for over 10 years with newer devices all the time...last was the 9700 running 6.0 OS.
It has taken me a while to make the adjustment but the wait is worth it. The swype technology really helped. I'm still a big email and texting junky but now I'm a convert. The big screen is all worth it for me even though I don't use the phone for much more than a phone and texting device.
I do miss the bb search capability of just typing in a few letters from the main screen and having a list of contacts come up. It's an adjustment worth getting used to. The app store is awesome also. 4G works great. I do wish it was enabled for tmobile's 'at home' service like the 9700...I could use that at home an hit my wifi and not use any minutes.
I would recommend this phone to anyone who is interested in having a smooth/fast running device.
Galaxy S 4G that puts out!
Used to own a Vibrant, MyTouch 4G, and a HTC EVO 4G I've been somewhat disappointed in all the 4G hype that is way too slow. However, since this phone actually supports HSPA+ and not just HSPA the speed increase is very noticeable.
I can actually stream video and music without the constant stuttering that happens with the other phones I've had. It's not due to reception, just the technology.
- Super AMOLED Screen is simply gorgeous.
- Adequate Hummingbird 1Ghz Processor
- 16GB SD Card included
- 4" Screen Size
- 1650 mAh battery
- HSPA+ compatability, not just HSPA
- Easily Rootable
- Light Weight
- Samsung TouchWiz UI and just the software in general is not as refined as others like HTC Sense. Not even close.
- Samsung is HORRIBLE at getting timely updates out, more so then competitors like HTC.
- Seems to drain battery a little faster then avg.
- May encounter more force closes and needing reboots more often then other smartphones.
In closing, even with the Cons, if you're happy with Froyo 2.2 I'd highly recommend this phone. Especially if you need higher bandwidth capabilities that the other so called 4G phones in T-Mobiles lineup don't deliver on.

Men should be offended when someone claims that women should prevent rape by not wearing certain things or not going certain places or not acting in a certain way.
That line of thinking presumes that you are incapable of control. That you are so base and uncivilized that it takes extraordinary effort for you to walk down the street without raping someone. That you require a certain dress code be maintained, that certain behaviors be employed so that maybe today, just maybe, you won't rape someone.
It presumes that your natural state is rapist.

About hubballi
Settling In Well
Profile Information
Ford Model
1999 1.6
Focus Diesel
hubballi posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubI have a 1999 Focus some of you here may be familiar with I have posted a few problems (boot no longer works, losing oil, high petrol consumption) and I have decided to buy a newer car. Because I like the drive, shape and feel of a Focus( Eccept for the obvious problems) I was thinking of a Focus Diesel but would like more advice of what kind to go for. Would a 1.6 be economical or are there others that are better ? Thanks.
What oil would you suggest that will be best for this car, last longer ?
No, there is no smoke. Sorry, I changed the air filter, not the oil. My mistake. Might book it in for a service.
My filter I changed.
See the other post in this forum : Focus Drinking Engine Oil Posted 18 May 2011 - 10:16 AM 'Is it common for these engines to consume engine oil?' YES! very It's not just me. They are notorious for it.
I didn't run it for 2 years without a cam belt. It went about a month after I bought it. I then got an engine swap from an 04 model which had a lot less mileage. 2 engines that drank oil and a rusting body, a boot that no longer opens. It's a wonderful car !
Sorry for believing a mechanic at an established garage about the oil needing topping up. What was I thinking ? Ok, I may not be very knowledgeable about cars but there is no need to be rude. As there is no way I can afford a new car I will have to make do for now. We bought it for £900 off a good friend's daughter who had no trouble with it (yes, really). The cam belt is now notched up as experience.
can't afford to buy another car and it wouldn't be a Focus if I could. I had already spent a bit having the engine replaced after the cam belt went shortly after we bought it. That old one guzzled oil too.
I have been told by a few people in the know (mechanics included) that the Focus does need a constant supply of oil. I suppose it also means you don't need an oil change when serviced. At nearly £7 a go for a small bottle coupled with the high petrol consumption it's very very expensive to run. When it went to the garage about 18 months ago a mechanic said underneath is very rusty and when the cross section that supports the rear wheels rots (I am not sure what it's called but more knowledgeable people here will know) that's the end of the car as it's part of the chases and can't be replaced or fixed.
Why I Don't Like My Focus.
hubballi posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubSince I bought this 1.6 1999 Focus 2 years ago it has cost me the earth to run. It guzzles petrol and oil. I have been told that they need topping up all the time with oil. There are no leaks or anything but my Peugeot 106 never needed a single top up between changes. My Peugeot had a small rust spot that hasn't got any bigger in 10 years (my Mum now has it) . In 2 years my Focus wheel arch has bubbled and rusted looking unsightly. The boot lock no longer works (from the key or the button on the dash). For some reason when I am driving, the petrol gauge display the next time I drive the car is always lower than when I last drove it. The mileometer sometimes re-sets itself back to zero with no warning. All in all after the 2 years experience I can say it is a nice, comfortable car to drive and reliable to start but it is sooooooo expensive to run and badly made (rust etc) I will never buy another Ford again. I have had an Escort and Fiesta a few years ago and they both rusted badly too.
Is that easy to do, get a spare ?
I managed to get it open. Great I thought but then it wouldn't shut. The lock seems to stay in whatever position it was last in without springing back. You have to manually line it up with pliers to get it to hook back over the bolt to stay shut. Then the process starts again because you can't open it without getting inside from the rear seat and pushing the mechanism with pliers. I have spayed with Teflon lubricant but it hasn't made it any better. The only thing is the black plastic seems to be part of the lock itself which is now a bit of a ragged mess after me pulling at it.
Just been in the boot for half an hour trying to open it and no joy. Just ending up losing my temper. There seemed to be a small bit of hard black plastic stuck in the mechanism. I Pulled some of it out with long nosed pliers but still has no effect.
Boot Lock Stuck
hubballi posted a topic in Ford Focus Clubyesterday I had trouble shutting the boot so I gave it a good slam. It shut ok and at my destination I opened it ok. A day later I come to open it and turn the key. Nothing. I try to open it from the button above the dash which sounds like it is opening with the usual clicking sound and again nothing. Is there a way I can open it from inside the boot by pulling the seat back ? It's a Ford Focus 1.6 1999 5 door model. Also the rubber ring around the boot lock itself has broken off (nothing to do with the lock problem) and it looks unsightly. Can I get another ? Thanks.
Car jerking and juddering
hubballi replied to hubballi's topic in Ford Focus ClubNow then, I got a new coil pack for £20 so it was worth a gamble at that price. It now runs better than ever and fingers crossed it will continue. Not a bad job getting the old one off (as a novice with cars) but connecting the HT leads back was a pain. One of them was almost bent and had lost that little clip on the bare copper connection. I got it on in the end but perhaps I should look at getting some new leads too. What I can't understand is if it was the coil pack, why did it seem ok for a while after putting new plugs on ? Surely it would make no difference. Anyway, if it's sorted my fuel consumption which has been high will go down a bit and all for a mere £35 (including air filter and plugs)

A four-year effort to create a local historic district in the Crown Hill area has cleared another hurdle and the public will get a chance to comment on a preliminary study.
The state has given the Historical Commission a green light to hold a public hearing on the report that has been prepared for the district.
In October, the Historical Commission submitted to the Massachusetts Historical Commission a comprehensive, 96-page report that makes a case for the Crown Hill historic designation, supported by extensive documentation about all the homes in that area.
Joel Fontane, the city's director of planning and regulatory services, said the Massachusetts Historical Commission has deemed the preliminary study report "complete," meaning it meets the minimum standards to continue moving the process forward. While the state has 60 days from the Oct. 9 submittal date to comment on the report, Mr. Fontane said the Historical Commission can schedule a public hearing on it.
The commission will hold the hearing on Dec. 13, as part of its regular meeting that night.
That meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. in the Levi Lincoln Chamber at City Hall, but the public hearing on the report won't be held until after the commission takes up its regular business for that meeting.
Since the preliminary report was made public, Mr. Fontane said his office has received some inquiries from property owners within the proposed historic district, but he has not heard of any opposition to the proposal to date.
"The neighborhood group still remains very strong in its support for this," Mr. Fontane told the Historical Commission Thursday.
Dating as far back as1837, Crown Hill is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city.
A largely residential area located just west of the downtown, Crown Hill is distinguished by its large number of homes of mid- to late-19th century architecture.
In fact, nearly half of the neighborhood's properties are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, many of which are part of an important collection of Greek Revival-style domestic architecture, according to the preliminary study report.
But as the city grew in the 20th century, the fortunes of the Crown Hill neighborhood began to decline, and by the1970s, many of the homes had become run-down.
Homes were lost through demolition, fire, vandalism and neglect, according to neighborhood residents. They added that absentee landlords and foreclosures have compounded the problem as well.
In an effort to preserve the cultural, historical and architectural significance of their neighborhood, Crown Hill residents have been working since 2008, when they originally petitioned the City Council, to get their neighborhood designated as a local historic district.
If those efforts come to fruition, it would be the third local historic district in the city — the others being the Massachusetts Avenue and Montvale Local Historic Districts on the city's West Side.
A local historic district is a specific area recognized for its historical and architectural significance. Such districts are intended to preserve architecturally and historically significant buildings, structures and places through a design process that considers the elements, features and overall setting of properties within them.
"The creation of a local historic district does not change underlying land use rights (zoning) for properties included," the preliminary study report states. "Instead, a local historic district provides for thoughtful management of changes made to building exteriors and/or properties that are viewable from a public way.
"This management occurs through a public design review process by which the local Historical Commission considers changes for approval prior to issuance of any building permit," the report adds.
According to the preliminary study report, the proposed Crown Hill Local Historic District will encompass roughly 40 acres in an area roughly bounded by Pleasant Street to the north, Irving Street to the east, Austin Street to the south and Newbury Street to the west.
The area includes 205 property addresses, 189 property owners, 166 parcels (including 21 vacant/parking parcels), 173 properties and 152 buildings.
In support of the neighborhood, the city allocated $13,300 in federal Community Development Block Grant funds to provide some of the money needed to obtain a $10,000 matching grant from the Massachusetts Historical Commission to pay for a historic building survey of the neighborhood. The balance ($1,200) was contributed by the Crown Hill Neighborhood Association.

Many Theists make this argument at some point, but it was Carl Sagan who said it with the most clarity:

Why did Michelle say on that 911 call that Jessa had stopped bleeding? Women who have just delivered don't stop bleeding right away....and I needed the "super deluxe" external protection for that for a few weeks...that just isn't right...what happened that Jessa needed medical intervention, the medical intervention that she should have had present in the first place?...like in a hospital setting.ReplyDeleteReplies

Bleeding after birth is always a possibility whether a hospital or home birth. It's why the placenta has to be completely delivered. It's good that the midwife was being so careful and had Michelle call 911 since the bleeding didn't appear to abate as soon as expected. Hard to say exactly since NONE OF US WAS THERE! Are 911 tapes routinely released to the public?ReplyDelete
Anyway, I'm just glad that Jessa delivered a healthy baby. God has greatly blessed Ben and her.
