Specifications Overview
The FIDO Alliance has two sets of specifications, U2F and UAF. The Alliance is providing support for deployers of the technology by operating the new [email protected] public discussion list.
The latest revisions will always be available on the specifications download page.
The User Experience
FIDO provides two user experiences to address a wide range of use cases and deployment scenarios. FIDO protocols are based on public key cryptography and are strongly resistant to phishing.
Passwordless UX (UAF)
- User carries client device with UAF stack installed
- User presents a local biometric or PIN
- Website can choose whether to retain password
The passwordless FIDO experience is supported by the Universal Authentication Framework (UAF) protocol. In this experience, the user registers their device to the online service by selecting a local authentication mechanism such as swiping a finger, looking at the camera, speaking into the mic, entering a PIN, etc. The UAF protocol allows the service to select which mechanisms are presented to the user.
Once registered, the user simply repeats the local authentication action whenever they need to authenticate to the service. The user no longer needs to enter their password when authenticating from that device. UAF also allows experiences that combine multiple authentication mechanisms such as fingerprint + PIN.
Second Factor UX (U2F)
- User carries U2F device with built-in support in web browsers
- User presents U2F device
- Website can simplify password (e.g. – 4 digit pin)
The second factor FIDO experience is supported by the Universal Second Factor (U2F) protocol. This experience allows online services to augment the security of their existing password infrastructure by adding a strong second factor to user login. The user logs in with a username and password as before. The service can also prompt the user to present a second factor device at any time it chooses. The strong second factor allows the service to simplify its passwords (e.g. 4–digit PIN) without compromising security.
During registration and authentication, the user presents the second factor by simply pressing a button on a USB device or tapping over NFC. The user can use their FIDO U2F device across all online services that support the protocol leveraging built–in support in web browsers.
How FIDO Works
The FIDO protocols use standard public key cryptography techniques to provide stronger authentication. During registration with an online service, the user's client device creates a new key pair. It retains the private key and registers the public key with the online service. Authentication is done by the client device proving possession of the private key to the service by signing a challenge. The client's private keys can be used only after they are unlocked locally on the device by the user. The local unlock is accomplished by a user–friendly and secure action such as swiping a finger, entering a PIN, speaking into a microphone, inserting a second–factor device or pressing a button.
The FIDO protocols are designed from the ground up to protect user privacy. The protocols do not provide information that can be used by different online services to collaborate and track a user across the services. Biometric information, if used, never leaves the user's device.
FIDO Registration
- User is prompted to choose an available FIDO authenticator that matches the online service's acceptance policy.
- User unlocks the FIDO authenticator using a fingerprint reader, a button on a second–factor device, securely–entered PIN or other method.
- User's device creates a new public/private key pair unique for the local device, online service and user's account.
- Public key is sent to the online service and associated with the user's account. The private key and any information about the local authentication method (such as biometric measurements or templates) never leave the local device.
FIDO Login
- Online service challenges the user to login with a previously registered device that matches the service's acceptance policy.
- User unlocks the FIDO authenticator using the same method as at Registration time.
- Device uses the user's account identifier provided by the service to select the correct key and sign the service's challenge.
- Client device sends the signed challenge back to the service, which verifies it with the stored public key and logs in the user.
What Makes FIDO Different?
The core ideas driving FIDO are (1) ease of use, (2) privacy and security, and (3) standardization. For implementing authentication beyond a password (and perhaps an OTP), companies have traditionally been faced with an entire stack of proprietary clients and protocols.
FIDO changes this by standardizing the client and protocol layers. This ignites a thriving ecosystem of client authentication methods such as biometrics, PINs and second–factors that can be used with a variety of online services in an interoperable manner.
FIDO Standardization
Online Crypto Protocol Standardization
FIDO standardizes the authentication protocol used between the client and the online service. The protocol is based on standard public key cryptography — the client registers a public key with the online service at initial setup. Later, when authenticating, the service verifies that the client owns the private key by asking it to sign a challenge. The protocol is designed to ensure user privacy and security in the current day state of the internet.
Client Standardization for Local Authentication
FIDO standards define a common interface at the client for the local authentication method that the user exercises. The client can be pre–installed on the operating system or web browser. Different authentication methods such as secure PIN, biometrics (face, voice, iris, fingerprint recognition, etc.) and second–factor devices can be "plugged in" via this standardized interface into the client.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Blocked Tear Ducts: Endoscopic and Laser Dacryocystorhinostomy
Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy is a type of
surgery sometimes used to treat
blocked tear ducts in adults. It is rarely used in
children. During this procedure, the surgeon inserts a thin fiber-optic light device through the tear duct opening (punctum) at the inner
corner of the eyelid. This allows the surgeon to see where the tear duct is
supposed to exit inside the nostril.
Next, the surgeon inserts an endoscope, a thin tube with a tiny camera on
the end, into the nostril. An incision is made at the point where the fiber-optic light shines
through the blocked tear duct. The incision opens a new passageway between the
tear duct sac and the nasal cavity. The incision is done through the
endoscope inside the nostril. There is no visible scarring after
This procedure may be done as an alternative to a standard
dacryocystorhinostomy, which creates a new drainage canal and leaves a small scar.
Laser dacryocystorhinostomy uses an endoscope
that also contains a
laser, which is an intense, narrow beam of light that
can cut through body tissues. The laser in the endoscope makes a hole in the
nasal bone. This creates a connection between the tear duct sac and the nasal
Compared with similar types of surgery, laser
But this type of surgery:
Laser dacryocystorhinostomy may not be an option for some
Endoscopic and laser dacryocystorhinostomy are not as successful in
opening blocked tear ducts as standard dacryocystorhinostomy.

Handlebar Moustache Grooming Part 2: Bedtime, Blowdryers and Waxes
Back to washing. Some waxes like Firehouse, Oregon Wild Hair and Hndlebar contain petroleum jelly, which can leave a residue on your moustache. Be sure you wash thoroughly when removing your wax for the night. That's another thing: should one wear the wax to bed? These sort of waxes can have a slight greasy feeling, especially at the end of the day when your skin oil have migrated into the wax and softened it, as it will. As for myself I would not wear such wax to bed, and some of them also have colorants in them – Firehouse Wacky Tacky has a slight brown color – and that may stain your bedding. If anything, I do recommend waxing your curls for bed if you don't wax during the day as it will give you a nice unwaxed curl the next day. If you have more time in the morning you can put curls in when you get up and wash it out before you leave. Then shape the curls as the hair dries. I have strong natural curls so I can't say how useful a curling iron would be, but if you try one be very careful with your hair and your face! Blow dryers? Some use that for melting clumped wax or for drying or shaping. Be very careful here as some hair dryers can get very hot. If it's too hot for your finger its too hot for your hair. I've actually seen water on my comb boiling from the hair dryer, so be careful.
If you really want to wear it to bed you might try a moustache snood, which can be ordered on Amazon.com. This will protect your moustache some from getting mussed up while sleeping and be a barrier to the wax, but will also get wax on it itself, so the snood will need washing every couple days – also for sanitary reasons. But back to the skin oils factor, you will best wash out your wax every day or two as it will not hold shape for long, especially if you have oily skin. If you use washable pomades or other fixatives for your moustache these will be easier to wash out, but they may not disintegrate so much from skin oil and may last longer. A pomade seems to be a blend of wax and other materials that can be applied as a cream. I tried to make the one recommended by Bud at the handlebarclub.com but it was a lot of work and didn't work for me, so I can't give your results from any endurance testing. What is the best wax or pomade? I've tried three waxes that were highly recommended and liked Firehouse best for certain applications, but all three are great, especially for the curls. It goes on a bit smoother. Lately, I've been using Got2b Glued or glue stick as they hold better and the former gives me a lot of more open styling options. Personally I'm not a big fan of wax, partly because of my wiry hair, which seems to make it hard to groom without clumps or crumbles, and it takes more than I like to shape and control it. It's also hot here in Vegas in the Summer so waxes don't hold up if I have to go outside. I haven't used Clubman in 25 years and don't remember it's characteristics. Some love it, some have thrown it out like a nagging mother-in-law (don't you wish?) in favor of any of the three I mentioned, or other brands. Check out THE 'STACHE WAX REVIEW and the Handlebar Club Forum Waxing your mustache takes a bit of time so practice and plan for your morning preparations. Early experiments may make you question the whole project, but just be aware there may be limitations to what can be done with YOUR moustache and you just have to find a styling plan that works for your gift from God.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. While not exactly widely known, the month gives child advocates a chance to raise awareness of a social ill that claims far too many victims.
Communities across the country have hosted programs to call attention to child abuse and encourage people to report incidents rather than to ignore them.
Likewise, U.S. dioceses have sponsored programs and provided information about the signs of abuse. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has prepared resources for dioceses with their programs.
Although less than two weeks remain in the month, there's still a chance to get the word out. The USCCB packet has several useful resources, including prayer cards, a brochure identifying activities to help raise awareness and a poster.
Resources can be ordered online or downloaded.

Mankins, Gronk Wilfork Practice [VIDEO]
The New England Patriots saw key players who were injured last season return to the practice field for OTA's on Thursday.Logan Mankins, Rob Gronkowski, and Vince Wilfork were all on the field and participating in practice for the first time this off season. All three players suffered season ending injuries last year and their return has in encouraging for a team that played much of 2013 with a depleted roster. While neither of the three are considered game ready, they have received medical clearance to take part in some practice drills.

Chris' weekly predictions for the upcoming sporting events.
Vikings 31
Steelers 24
I have faith in the Vikings despite their loss to the Browns last week. It will be close as both teams are 0-3 and want their first win.
Prediction Record: 1-1
St. Mary's 33, New Ulm Cathedral 26
The Knights certainly proved me wrong on the road last week and will be at home this week. It won't come too easy, but St. Mary's will take their fifth win.
Prediction Record: 1-1
Martin County
West 36,
Sleepy Eye
Public 15
The Indians face another tough, undefeated team. Sleepy Eye has improved its running game after its 145 rushing yards last week. The Indians will hold their own early.
Prediction Record: 2-0
St. Mary's 3,
Sleepy Eye Public 2
The Indians want revenge and will put up a five-set nail-biter at their home court. Whoever makes fewer mistakes will win.
St. Mary's 3,
St. Mary's will host the Chargers, who have a small, inexperienced team. Brinkman, Carr, and the rest of the Knights will dominate both offensively and defensively.
Loyola Catholic 3, Sleepy Eye Public 1
The Crusaders have a tougher conference and still have plenty of victories on the board. The Indians will be on the road and still have to work on making less errors.
Sleepy Eye Public 3, New Ulm
Cathedral 2
The Greyhounds will be favored coming into this game but the Indians will be at home and could upset them if they play at their best.
Blue Earth Area 5, River Valley 2
The Wildcats are on their last couple of regular season meets of the school year and face another top conference team. River Valley will win a couple of matches in doubles.

I usually like to use Netflix and CR for my anime, but allot of the time, there is a series I really want to watch that isn't on either, not even Funimation has it. For instance, Shiki, I ended up watching it on otakucenter fansubbed, oh well.
Why would you have to watch Shiki as a fansub when you are in the United States and Funimation simulcast it?
I checked at Hulu and Funimation, and they currently have all of the episodes available in subtitled format to free viewers, and most of the dubbed episodes.
Their simulcasts are typically available in full (i.e., they don't shrink back to only 2-4 free episodes like library titles) at least until after home video release, so I don't expect it was different when you went to view it before.
Oh, well I clearly didn't look hard enough.
OK? No, it's not.
just wandering about...
I would say it's fine as long as there is no way to see it otherwise...For example Hyouka from last season....No one had that show licensed at ALL....so I had to see a fan sub and the show still hasn't been licensed...which is a pretty sad thing due to it actually being pretty good, and was hoping to get the BD/DVD set or something of the sort...but I also think that as long as it is licensed and in simulcast I really see no reason to fansub especially now in days where FUNI is releasing them on the same day for FREE...same goes for VIZ and The Anime Network and Crunchy you just have to wait a week...But I do understand the need to see it fansubbed when no one has even touched the show for licensing....And now, I am left with the feeling that Hyouka should get licensed soon
To the OP: Only you can answer this question. It's a morally ambiguous situation. Technically illegal, but also kinda not... unless they charge people per show aired on tv in Japan, then they were already paid for their work when sponsors and such paid for the airtime.
Poi is the new Desu!
I feel guilty because I often like illegal subs better than official subs. Not because of cost, but quality. Also, I think if you can't get it legally even with money, it's not a moral infraction. I say just do whatever you can to support the creators.
If there is an anime that you want to watch and you can find it online illegally, I don't see how it's hurting anyone. Entertainment shouldn't have to empty your wallet (and by that I mean buying DVDs from overseas for ridiculous prices).
Hey man , you got to do what you got to do but as much as possible watch the legal streaming first to support the struggling industry. .
My Avatar is seiyuu Morita san and Me cosplaying at AnimeExpo
Depends on the situation. Most people downloading anime simply want free entertainment.
TINSTAFL folks, TINSTAFL
For anything which is hyper popular I say no because it's very likely the show in question will get a license, wait until then and support the localization community.
However for many less popular shows there's no alternative. Shows like Potemayo, Kokoro Library, Idol Defense Force Hummingbird, and Final Approach have absolutely no hope of ever being licensed and localized into English.
Likewise some other shows which are very long running shows have an equally less chance of being licensed simply due to sheer inpossibility of localizing so much material. Shows like Chibi Maruko-chan, Sazae-san, and Doraemon are too long for companies to bother licensing.
So for those shows which are unavailable I see no reason a person can't or even shouldn't find alternative ways of viewing them. Some companies in Japan such as Gainax and Production I.G have even admitted that they don't mind their shows being fansubbed while other companies such as Media Factory have specifically asked that no fansubs of their work ever be made.
I like how you set up a lovely strawman, that you promptly take down. Damn shame Its not representative of what i have said.
I most certainly do not treat all artistic media as a simple commodity, but i do treat commercial media designed as a commodity as .... well... just that. Whether you like it or not, I havent decided that anime is a product to be sold, the creators have. If it was simply a matter of "art being free" then CR wouldnt have to get streaming licenses. I like how you just handwave away what people do for a living as unimportant.
And to dismiss me because i use the words rationalizing piracy, and entitlement is a damn shame. I used them appropriately. This whole thread is about rationalizing what is a circumvention of the creators rights. (once again, im not passing judgement either way, in my post i in fact said i can understand it) and i posted in reply to someone who said flat out. "I will not give them money, i shouldnt have to, but ill take it without permission or compensation" that screams entitlement to me.
finally... "and such nonsense, and who try to treat any and all artistic media as just a simple commodity, and such thinking always leads to dangerous places."
what kind of danger lies ahead? im genuinely curious. keeping in mind of course, that i did not make this claim, or hold this to be true. the truth is, art can be a personal expression, and a product to be sold. and really, thats what anime is. thats what movie and music and tv shows are. and to claim like the original poster i responded to did, that it should never be paid for, is a dangerous place if you ask me.
If your interpreting what I was saying as handwaving "away what people do for a living as unimportant", then I feel I should straighten you out on some things.
As stated before, broadcast TV is free. That much is fact.. Problem is the signal range only reaches out a few miles from the broadcast tower. That's where sites like CR come in. Now I may be wrong and you'll have to double check with them, but I interpret what Endotropic420 is saying as "I could pay for the streaming, but the free level of membership here on CR is good enough". You say you don't like how they seem to be saying "I will not give them money, I shouldn't have to".....Well yes that's exactly right, they shouldn't HAVE to. Art is something you should support because you WANT to, not because you HAVE to. I can't speak for all CR paying members, but for me I subscribe to Crunchyroll because I am in a position financially to be able to, and more importantly because i WANT to. I certainly don't expect everyone else in the world who watches this stuff to do the same, and I'm completely OK with that. It's ridiculous to expect every person to pay for streaming if they're OK with being a week behind and having a few commercial interruptions, or to go out a buy a DVD copy of every single show they watch (especially if they don't feel a need to rewatch the show again later but just want to see it once and that's it).
Point is there are always some people out there willing to pay for a quality product. Why expect everybody to pay the same as if it were any other simple commodity like a pound of butter or a side of beef. Just like some people can only go to a museum on free admission day, or when there is a deep discount. They get to go around and look at all the fine works of art even though their admission cost doesn't even begin to cover the expenses of showcasing them, and often times only a small group of museum patrons or wealthy donors pay a majority of the cost so all can enjoy. Nobody goes up to these free attendees and says "oh you're in here looking at all the works of art but you're not contributing to help pay the cost of obtaining them....you're stealing".
This is part of the danger of seeing anime works as strictly commodities rather than as you said art that can be offered as product also. Treating them strictly as nothing more than commodities makes them sound like their means of production, distribution and communication can justly be monopolized by an elite (those who can pay). This is how that remark of if you're not willing to pay for it "don't watch it" comes across. If this is not what you meant by that remark then I apologize and this remark isn't aimed at you. But I see a disturbing trend among other peeps on these forums who say similar things and seem to have this attitude of "anime is only for those who can afford it" and if you can't, then tough luck for you. Or more like they're saying "hey I managed to get this anime...I paid a hefty sum for it, and here these other guys are just getting a free fansub they found online. That's not fair. They should have to pay what I paid or not be able to watch it at all".
I wanted to watch "Hyouka" via a legal stream, but couldn't find one. I found episodes posted on some illegal streams & had to settle for those. Did I feel entitled to watch them? No of course not. I was just lucky to come across them. If I didn't I would have been like "oh well". Now if there were no illegal fansub copies found and I told some fangroup "Hey I can't find eps of Hyouka, I want you guys to make me some and I want them now, but of course I still won't pay",....then yes you could call that a sense of entitlement. But as is I was just viewing copies I happened to come across that some fansub groups already made and that KyoAni wasn't making available. And that's what this tread is supposed to be about. Hopefully down the road I'll be able to buy the series even if I have to import it. But whether I do end up buying it or not, for the time being this is all I had to work with.
Another thing that is dangerous about just simply treating anime works, or any works of art as simply commodities is that if they are viewed as such, then the special privileges afforded to art don't apply to them and they are subject to being regulated like all other commodities. No more "freedom of expression" invoking, and governments are given more leverage to determine what is acceptable and what is not. You only have to look to the recent Tokyo Youth Healthy Development Ordinance passed last December to see the potential downside of that.
KaiserSosei wrote: Remember though that technically....it IS free. Well, at least most of it is. Keep in mind most of the anime produced in the world, however highly you regard it or like it or dislike it, at the end of the day most of the "shows" out there are just that.....TV shows. And broadcast TV shows in Japan, like in most of the other developed countries in the world (and even some undeveloped ones) have always broadcast their content for free.
However, the TV does not pay the bills. Mostly its the DVD/BR sales that do. Most anime is made for the DVD/BR buying audience, either substantially or entirely. Some anime is made primarily to boost the sales of other associated commercial content (merchandise, manga, light novels). The only anime that is made primarily for TV revenue are the kiddie shows.

That depends on how recent it is. Titles that are one or two or three years old are often licensed, and people that don't give themselves the "its not available legally this very minute" excuse are still part of the market for those series.
In terms of the creators rights approach, they have the right to say yes, and they have the right to say no, and just because some online bootlegger has the power to trample their right to say no ... well, might does not make right.

The activity of distributing creative works under copyright without permission is not just technically illegal: its really illegal. Making it the creator (or their agent) who decides who gets to make a copy is how copyright gives value to copies of creative work.
Watching them is probably not illegal in the US, at least not yet, but in different countries your mileage may vary. But if you are torrent downloading them, its illegal to seed them.
On the other hand, while its not illegal to watch leech streams, its certainly wrong, since those sites stream licensed works in direct competition with the legit streaming sites, and going to their sites gives them advertising revenue encouraging them to keep streaming bootlegs in competition with legit access.

Yeah, we Norwegians don't get anything...
I went outside once. The graphics were good, but the story was shit.
I think that most artists want their work to be seen. So having people outside of Japan watching their shows is probably the biggest reward an artist could have.
So my opinion is that yes, it is OK to watch something that is not available legally... as long as you don't burn it and sell it to people.

Actually, it's because they have a LEGAL obligation to limit the territories. Outside of CR, the only way you could see legal subs is if a dub company in your country obtained it.
The biggest reason I buy physical DVD's and BD's is because I've watched them via fansubs. If the show is on Crunchyroll I'll watch it here, but there are a lot of shows that don't make it to Crunchyroll and they are good shows. I have no qualms watching fansubs. It's rare for me to buy something I have yet to watch. The only time that happens is when I know without a doubt it's something good.
So, in essence, the likes of FUNimation, Sentai, etc. would get less money from me if it weren't for fansubs. Fansubs are like samples to me. If it's a good show and it actually gets licensed I will support it.
I think it's also appropriate to point out that if the anime isn't an original, it usually isn't a priority. Most anime adaptions are made in order to promote the manga. That's why they don't care about messing with the ending and straying from the manga. It's meant to inspire more manga purchases and merchandise.
I'm getting wet!!!
It's not legal, but I don't think anyone will despise you for it. Piracy has been a part of the fan culture for decades, so I'm sure people will be able to understand your situation if that is the only way outside paying a small fortune in the resale market.

Buckeyes' spread offense ready to open playbook
Like a kid opening a present on Christmas morning, Urban Meyer
can't wait to tear off the wrapping and bows to see what his latest
Ohio State offense will do.
Ohio State went 12-0 in Meyer's first season as coach last year.
But it wasn't because the offense was a NASCAR racer. It was more
like the Buckeyes stayed ahead of the field by patching and tuning
an old but reliable form of transportation.
Quarterback Braxton Miller's legs carried the Buckeyes for the
first half of the season. After that, the offensive
responsibilities were spread out, with tailback Carlos Hyde and the
wide receivers assuming their share of the load.
Meyer, a major proponent of the hurry-up, no-huddle spread
attack, barely recognized his offense. There was no H-back, a
central figure as he designed the lethal Florida offenses built
around the hybrid runner-receiver Percy Harvin. And most of the
time, it just looked like something Woody Hayes might have
Meyer concedes that the 2012 Buckeyes bore only a slight
resemblance to the cutting-edge attack he had at Florida because
H-back Jordan Hall was injured most of the year.
"That whole part of the offense didn't exist, which is tough,"
he said during fall camp. "If you evaluate last year's offense, we
were a pro offense. There was not a lot of read components (and)
that's the essence of what spread football is."
This year, Hall is finally healthy and figures to be a fly in
the ointment of defenses, flitting out wide at times, into the slot
at others, and running out of the backfield at yet other times.
"You'll see a different style of offense this year," Meyer
The thing is, the Buckeyes averaged 37 points a game last
season, and that was with Miller having only middling success on
medium-to-deep throws, Hall watching from the sidelines and the
receivers having a good but not great year.
Now Miller is directing the offense instead of just taking snaps
and taking off. And Ohio State's offense is much closer to what
Meyer had hoped it would and could be.
Tom Herman, co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach,
also sounds like a guy who just handed the keys to a Bugatti.
"I don't know if I would ever say (we're) fully loaded," he
said of the offense. "But we are closer than we've ever been.
That's exciting."
He makes an interesting point that the coaching staff can't let
their imaginations run wild. Even if the playbook is wide open now,
that doesn't mean putting five receivers out wide or running the
Statue of Liberty play is a good idea – just because you can do
"You have to be careful to temper your enthusiasm and
creativity, because at the end of the day, you can overthink and
overcoach yourself," he said. "(We have an) identity. This is who
we are and this is what we are going to do and we are going to do
it better than anybody in the country."
So the playcalling will undoubtedly include a few more
razzle-dazzle plays. But when it comes to the nitty-gritty on
third-and-short, don't look for a double-reverse when the best play
might just be a fullback run off tackle.
That doesn't mean the veteran players don't want to take the
new-look offense out for a spin.
"There's a lot of speed that just got infused into the program
with these guys coming in to go with all the great skill players
that we had here," offensive lineman Jack Mewhort said. "There's
a quicker edge to us than a year ago."
Backs Ezekiel Elliott and Dontre Wilson are lightning-quick
freshmen who add an upgrade to the team's speed. Young wide-outs
have done the same to the receiving corps.
Leading pass-catcher Corey Brown was asked how many points fans
might expect when No. 2 Ohio State opens against Buffalo on
"If we eliminate the mistakes, a lot," he said, grinning.
Asked what he means by a lot, he added, "I don't know. We'll
have to see."
And then he laughed.

Paul S. Russell, MD Museum unveiled
Paul S. Russell, MD, Museum of Medical History and Innovation
Updated 2/28/12 to reflect April opening
In the early part of the century – year after year – MGH residents took turns scratching their names into a Victorian desk, making their mark under its wooden lift top surface. But by the early 1960s, the well-worn desk was initially relegated for the dump – its fate changed only when its worth in the hospital's history was realized.
The MGH has continued to preserve its medical and scientific legacies through documentation – and now display – in the form of the Paul S. Russell, MD Museum of Medical History and Innovation, which opened its doors for a special preview and dedication event on Dec. 15. The museum is slated to open to the public in April.
During the celebration, supporters and their family members toured the two-story facility on the corner of North Grove and Cambridge streets, taking in the exhibits, artwork and the rooftop garden. The museum's ground floor will be home to permanent exhibits which highlight the evolution of medicine and clinical practice over MGH's 200-year history, while the second story gallery will showcase changing exhibits, while also providing space for programs, lectures and special events.
Rounds of applause were plentiful during the evening, as speakers thanked supporters for ensuring that the dream of creating the museum would became a reality during the MGH's bicentennial year. Among those in attendance was longtime MGH physician Paul S. Russell, MD, a pioneer of transplant surgery and chair of the MGH History Committee, for whom the museum is named. "I want to thank the people here for the wonderful job they have done in putting this together," said David Torchiana, MD, chairman and CEO of the Massachusetts General Physicians Organization. "It's incredible to know that in a few months visitors, history buffs, patient families and staff will be able to come here and learn about this venerable institution that is so much more important than any one individual."
Peter L. Slavin, MD, MGH president, said the museum is perfectly situated in front of the hospital. "It serves as a reminder of the great history of medicine and the future of medicine – and the role this great hospital has and will play in both," Slavin said. "This is a wonderful occasion to remember that it takes a village to make this hospital so special."
The museum will not only be a location for learning, but also a great environment for educational presentations and celebrations for MGH staff and the surrounding community. "People will be able to experience history through stories and accomplishments of the work that has been growing for 200 years – and that history will be carried on, and will carry us into the future," said Peter K. Johnson, museum director.
The Paul S. Russell, MD Museum of Medical History and Innovation is located at 2 North Grove Street in Boston (on the corner of North Grove and Cambridge streets) and will be open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information about museum exhibits, programs or tours, contact email@example.com, or visit Paul S. Russell, MD Museum website.

Supervisor on Road Construction Crew Harassed Two Women, Federal Agency Charges
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Fisher Sand & Gravel Co., which engages in business activities related to road construction, violated federal law by subjecting a class of women to sexual harassment and firing one woman for complaining about it, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
In its suit, the EEOC said that a supervisor employed by Fisher subjected Melony Encinias and a class of women working on a highway project near Mora, N.M., to sexual harassment, including a barrage of sexual comments and innuendo creating a hostile work environment. The agency also charged that Encinias suffered retaliation because she opposed the supervisor's unwelcome conduct and was forced to resign because of the harassment, retaliation, and the employer's failure to provide appropriate preventive or remedial relief.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits employment discrimination based on sex, including sexual harassment. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico (EEOC v. Fisher Sand & Gravel Co., Civil Action No. 1:09-cv-00309) after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement.
The lawsuit asks the court to order Fisher to provide Encinias and other affected women with appropriate relief, including reinstatement or front pay; back wages; compensatory and punitive damages; and to grant a permanent injunction enjoining the company from engaging in any gender-discriminatory practice. The EEOC also asks the court to order the company to institute and carry out policies and practices which eradicate and prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
"Our investigation revealed that Fisher's supervisor was permitted to use the workplace as his playground and if you did not play, you paid," said EEOC Phoenix District Director Chester V. Bailey. "Employers have an important responsibility to protect their employees from harassment and retaliation in the workplace. In this case, this employer failed to do so and will now have to answer in court for its conduct."
Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill of the EEOC's Phoenix District Office, which has jurisdiction over Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, added, "We continue to see a significant number of sexual harassment cases throughout our district. Employers may not subject women to a barrage of sexual abuse for the privilege of working. The EEOC will prosecute such cases vigorously."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT and Hetalia: The Beautiful World were destined for Funimation, and the odds favored them getting Senran Kagura (although it was no more certain than them getting Vividred Operation, which CR got instead).
Viz doesn't announce late, so it seems very unlikely they will have anything new for this season. TAN's two announced this week are likely all their exclusives, and AoD finished their announcements, so it leaves the usually-late Funimation as the only hold-out.
The Anime Network took it. I hope they allow one week free viewing like CR. Not subscribing to more than one anime site.
Unless things have changed, they offer the first episode or two for free and you have to pay to watch the rest. I don't think they have an On-Demand service either.
Yeah, I should have known. Crunchyroll did get a lot of anime this season, but of course I'm not happy about it because they are not ones that interest me. I wanted 2 anime, one was Chihayafuru 2 the other Tamako Market was taken by The Anime Network. I guess I can wait 12 weeks and buy a month subscription and watch them all at once. So, 50% happy this season, who knows maybe one of these other series will get me interested. It's better than 0/2 I have to say, and I know CR usually doesn't have control over what they can't get.
Little BUSTERS! XD
Thanks you guys. I <3 you.
Just watching anime. :)
I wish we could get tamako market too T_T
K-ON writers + crazy ass talking bird = greatest anime ever!!!!!

Wow Little Busters is added too? Geeez this season is GREAT!!! Last season I was super disappointed, all I cared about was SAO and Naruto... Stuff that wasn't even new to that season on CR. Well that's all changing now. I have soooo much to look forward to!! AKB, Little Busters, Chihayafuru2, that new idol show (what was the name... lol sorry I just like idol shows)... And stuff that I forgot the name of but will totally watch anyway. lol But like... This is soooo much better than last season on CR, I'm so excited. ;w;
(Although seriously, y u no get this stuff earlier???) lol
No Little Busters in LA the only series (apart of gintama) I like this season.

If the simulcast is made available elsewhere (either CR or Hulu), then all episodes are typically free to view (for obvious reasons). At the moment, TAN only has placeholders for the first episode, so I can't determine which way they are going to go with Sasami-san and Tamako Market.
Regarding On-Demand, TAN indeed has a Video on Demand service available on many cable providers. If you go to the alphabetic listing on their website, you can even filter the titles by clicking the "Video on Demand" button.
If you were referring to their website, any of the titles they list (when filtered by "streaming") are available to subscribers at any time, with the exception that they roll out even library titles the same way as simulcasts; one episode per week.
Yes, that's my real age
Nice Guy!
The one episode per week habit that TAN has even with series that have been around for awhile (Mayo-Chiki would be an example) is probably the most irritating thing about their subscription service. CR usually does a great job at getting episodes out, they have way better customer service too.
I have to say I am honestly and pleasantly surprised that CR was able to get Little Busters.
Given enough episodes, all anime heros will eventually become Super Saiyans

Keksimonsteri is in a tragedy seinen manga. http://en.shindanmaker.com/234977

Hasn't been confirmed yet.
It could go either way since it's being posted 8 days later.
Though looking at the Info page, it seems to be set up just like Tamako Market, Ep. 01 is Guest, the rest not indicated yet.

Going by what has happened in the past they wont be adding the first season of little busters for a while which is unfortunate becuase people like me who has not seen the first season wont watch the second one...
Seriously release episodes/seasons in order please!
There is only one season of Little Busters! and Crunchyroll has it now. Yes, they won't have the 1st cour for a little while(I imagine that Crunchyroll will make those episodes available when they can) but it is a simulcast of the series. Just for future reference, Little Busters! is 2-cours and is 1 season(Who knows if there will be a 2nd season sequel?)
I've searched high and low and asked around and can find no evidence of the "2 cours = one season" claim. In Japan there is no "off season" in television (no summer or holiday season reruns). So a cour IS a season. What you're calling a sequel in Japan is actually considered a totally separate series, not really a second season, and is marketed as such (they give it a new name and re-start the episode count back to one....etc...).
Since Crunchy got Little Busters while it is still airing, and at the beginning of the second season, it'll be interesting to see how they plan to catch up on the shows already aired up to now. I'm betting (or at least hoping) that they get the first thirteen eps out before the next current episode airs, so everybody will be happy. But it could be like somebody already mentioned that only peeps who have been keeping up with this show elsewhere (like myself) will be able to just switch right over to watching it here legally.
In any case, GREAT JOB Crunchyroll! I much prefer to watch it here anyways.
Great more moe garbage.
I was hoping that because AKB0048 next stage still had the one week delay for free users that 2 episodes would be posted at the time of the premiere, and it would continue with being simulcast soon after each week's premiere.
I noticed when updating the initial message in the "Winter 2013 anime" topic, however, that the simulcast time is exactly one hour after the last station in Japan airs the episode.
Yes, that's my real age

- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 egg yolks
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the sugar and the lemon zest.
- In a small saucepan heat the cream over medium heat until warm. Do not allow cream to boil. Whisk in the sugar-zest mixture, remove the pan from the heat and allow mixture to cool. Transfer to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 2 to 3 hours to allow the lemon flavor to infuse into the cream.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- In a saucepan, reheat the cream mixture until warm, making sure the mixture does not boil. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks lightly and then drizzle in the warm cream, whisking to combine. Strain the cream mixture into 2 heart-shaped ramekins or other 6-ounce, shallow ramekins and place in a small baking dish. Add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake the custards in the middle of the oven until just set, 35 to 40 minutes. Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool on wire racks. Chill, uncovered, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
- Preheat the broiler and remove the ramekins from the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes before proceeding.
- Sprinkle the 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar evenly over each of the custards. Transfer the custards to a baking sheet and broil about 1-inch from the heat, until the sugar is caramelized, 1 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

Letter: Assault on Constitution has been under way for 12 years
Assault on Constitution has been under way for 12 years
Those who express comfort with the National Security Agency's broad surveillance sweep have, understandably, not taken into account the broad context of the agency's snooping. The erosion of our sensitivities to this context has occurred in a long series of steps over a period of 12 years.
With indefinite detention, extraordinary rendition, torture, military tribunals, warrantless wiretapping, privatization of the military, destabilization of the Middle East and South Asia in endless wars, drone warfare and the resulting murders of thousands of civilians, unprecedented deportation of immigrants, detention in inhumane, private, for-profit jails and detention centers, violent raids against employers of immigrants, episodic raids against peace activists and unprecedented use of the Espionage Act in the silencing of dissent, the spirit of the nation's laws has drowned.
The dragnet on our private communications, significant enough, is but a symptom of a larger assault on the Constitution arising from the so-called war on terror. It cannot be pointed out too often that a war against a tactic is an absurdity.
In the end, it provides an endless rationale for Big Brother, while stoking the hatred it professes to subdue. Constitutionally prosecuting terror, delegating terror investigations to law enforcement, ending the wars and restoring the Constitution in every particular provide the only possibility for the security we appear to crave.

Nokia has published a post on its official Conversations blog detailing an update for its Transport (Transit in North America) app on Windows Phone 8, as well as new beta for Windows Phone 7.x. We covered the release of Nokia Transport 3 for the latest version of Microsoft's mobile platform earlier this month, but it's good to see Nokia pushing forward with further advances for consumers with older hardware.
So what's new in the latest Nokia Transport for Windows Phone 7.x? The team has bundled pretty much everything we highlighted in the Nokia Transport version 3 article (so be sure to check that resource), but this beta is a step ahead on 3.1. If you're rocking a first generation Lumia Windows Phone, and wish to try out the new functionality and improvements being made to Nokia's public transport solution, be sure to head on over to the beta labs.

NYC police make arrest in death of 'Baby Hope'
NEW YORK – Police announced Saturday that, after an investigation lasting more than two decades, they had arrested the killer of a child who was nicknamed Baby Hope by detectives after her body was discovered inside a picnic cooler beside a Manhattan highway in 1991.
During an interrogation early Saturday, the 4-year-old girl's cousin, Conrado Juarez, had admitted sexually assaulting and smothering her, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
The child's name and the circumstances of her death had been a mystery for two decades. But earlier this week, police announced that a new tip and a DNA test had allowed them to finally identify the baby's mother, a dramatic turnaround in one of the city's more notorious cold cases.
Now they are also revealing the slain girl's name: Anjelica Castillo.
It wasn't clear whether Juarez, 52, had a lawyer. Police said he lived in the Bronx, but that the family had been living in Queens at the time of the killing. They also said Juarez claimed that a relative helped him dispose of the child's body.
Anjelica's naked, malnourished corpse was discovered on July 23, 1991, beside the Henry Hudson Parkway. Detectives thought she might have been suffocated but had few other clues as to what happened.
The case became an obsession for some investigators. Hundreds of people attended a funeral for the unknown girl in 1993. Her body was exhumed for DNA testing in 2007, and then again in 2011.
In July, detectives tried another round of publicity on the 22nd anniversary of the discovery. They canvassed the neighborhood where her body was found, hung fliers, circulated sketches of the girl and a photograph of the cooler and announced a $12,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
Former detective Jerry Giorgio, who had the case from 1991 until his retirement over the summer, said he remained confident the case could be solved. Assistant Chief Joseph Reznick, who also worked the case, said they never gave up.
"I think reflecting back on what we named this little girl, Baby Hope, I think it's the most accurate name we could have come up with," Reznick said.
Giorgio left the NYPD and went to the Manhattan district attorney's cold case squad, from which he retired this year. "I missed the tipster call by a couple of weeks, damn it," he said.
The tipster led police to Anjelica's sister, who told detectives her sister had been killed. Police matched DNA from Anjelica to their mother. The mother, who was not identified, didn't have custody of Anjelica at the time of the girl's death -- she had been living with an aunt on the father's side, Bavlina Juarez-Ramirez, police said.
Police closed in on Juarez and waited for him Friday outside a Manhattan restaurant where he worked as a dishwasher. He told them he killed the girl at the apartment of his sister -- Juarez-Ramirez. Then, the sister, who is now dead, helped dispose of the body. Kelly said they took a livery cab from Queens to Manhattan where they dumped the cooler.
The cooler, which contained the girl's remains and unopened cans of Coke, was later discovered by construction workers.
Kelly called the arrest a superb case of detective work, and he was proud of his officers. Juarez was being held on murder charges and was awaiting arraignment.
"For me, it makes you proud to be a member of this organization -- they were unrelenting."
The detectives assigned to the case were instrumental in organizing a burial in a Bronx cemetery for the girl in 1993. Hundreds attended the funeral; Reznick gave the eulogy. The girl was dressed in a white frock and buried in a white coffin.
The detectives paid for the girl's headstone that reads: "Because we care."
On the tomb sit two little angels.

FIRST OF A TWO-PART SERIES: New CEO, a retired police chief, leading turnaround by tapping community contacts and garnering grants
BROCKTON – When Bill Conlon became CEO of the Boys & Girls Club in 2012, he saw the toll that the recession had taken on the youth organization.
Grants and donations to the inner-city club had plummeted. There had been staff turnover, and morale was low. There was less money available to make needed repairs to its Warren Avenue building, just a block from downtown.
The agency was among several nonprofits shaken by the economic crisis that took hold a few years earlier, in 2008.
"Things kind of had fallen into some disrepair that needed to be fixed," Conlon said. "If you don't have the money it gets deferred and it starts to look bad after a while and morale goes down. We had a turnover of staff so you didn't have a continuity of leadership. All these things kind of happened at once and snowballed and it just became difficult."
Conlon, a former Brockton police chief, said he's since worked to revitalize the agency that several people have called a "haven" for city children and youth. He tapped his community contacts and garnered new grants "to help bring the club back to where it should be."
Last week, however, Conlon had to answer questions not about the club's revival, but about a former counselor who has been charged with raping a teenage girl on the premises.
Chris Policard, one of the club's youth counselors, was arraigned in Brockton Superior Court Tuesday on rape and other charges. Policard, 22, a Brockton native and Roxbury resident, is accused of sexually assaulting and raping an underage teen inside the club. He pleaded not guilty to two counts of aggravated rape and two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14. The charges relate to alleged incidents in February and September 2013.
Policard's attorney Jason Benzaken said his client denies any wrongdoing and has been cooperative with police.
"He had a long history with the Boys and Girls Club. He wouldn't do anything to harm the Boys and Girls Club. He re ally believes in that organization and its roll in the community," Benzaken said Thursday.
For more than two decades, the downtown club has drawn celebrities, sports stars and thousands of city children and youth to the center at 233 Warren Ave. The club's after school programs include educational tutoring, college preparatory and athletic programs.
"For a long time, it's served the city well and youth very well," said Ward 2 School Committee member Andrew Robinson, in whose ward the club is located.
Policard was fired from his part-time position as a youth counselor, a position he held for about three years, after he was indicted by a grand jury on May 30, Conlon said. He was initially suspended without pay after officials learned of the allegations last fall, he said. The club did not make the allegations public at the time.
Conlon said the agency has since met with staffers and also installed cameras in a rear stairwell where the alleged sexual assaults reportedly occurred. Officials believe this is an isolated incident involving just one victim.
Policard "had a lot of people snowed" with his demeanor and the reported assaults have shocked and hurt the club community, Conlon said.
"I was stunned and so disappointed, and hurt that somebody that had benefited so from the club would do something that was so harmful to any kids and to the club," Conlon said.
Founded in 1988, the nonprofit Boys & Girls Club of Brockton provides after school programs to local children ages 6 to 18. The club has about 1,000 members and about 200 children attend the club daily.
Children begin trickling into the club about 2:30 p.m. after school. Several typically go to a large room near the center's lobby, where a tutor helps them with their homework, Conlon said. They also go to a downstairs computer lab for research, or to the indoor basketball court.
The club recently hired a music teacher and a dance teacher, and added a new music recording studio, Conlon said. Children take part in dance lessons, arts and crafts in the art room, or they mix their own music.
The center remains open until about 8 p.m. during the school year, and until about 10 p.m. in the summer months.
The school year membership fee per child is $50, and includes dinner daily. The summer membership fee per child, which includes two meals a day, is $75 per week, Conlon said.
The meals are vital for the children, many of whom come from a low-income household, several officials said.
Former Brockton Mayor John T. Yunits, a co-founder of the Boys & Girls Club and honorary board member, said the club is working to track how local children "have turned around and gone to college, how we keep them out of jail."
That information is key to share with grant administrators, he said.
"We have a lot of great people stepping up" to help the club, Yunits said.
The club has an annual budget of just under $1 million, Conlon said. About 75 percent of the budget is private donations, he said.
The agency received about $8,000 in federal funding and $24,000 from the state this year, he said.
Conlon said the club is actively looking for private donors. In September, he hired Joanne Hoops as development director. Hoops previously served as the club's first executive director.
"She was here at the inception and built this club up from about a $30,000 operation," Conlon said.
Meanwhile, Councilor-at-large Moises Rodrigues said he visited the club for a basketball tournament on Mother's Day.
"It serves such a great need for the community," Rodrigues said. "Because there's so few places for young people to go, I think we need to be supportive of the club itself."
Rodrigues and others expressed optimism that the club would continue to serve the community and work to protect city children.
"I think they will work hard to continue to be a place that serves and supports our kids and keeps them safe," Robinson said.
COMING MONDAY: The "haven" for city youth still has many supporters.

ART DEFINING ALPHABET CITY Alphabet City runs from Avenue A to Avenue D between Houston Street and 14th Street. In the 1840s, the area was known as Little Germany and then became home to Eastern European, Irish and Jewish immigrants in the 1880s.

Student Researchers Present Findings
Last summer, junior Shelby Duffield worked alongside Dr. Barry Eichler, department chair and associate professor of Chemistry, on a research project designed to better identify the stage of prostate cancer diagnoses.
The biochemistry major from Rapid City, S.D., who is considering PA school after graduation, presented her findings to fellow students and faculty earlier this week at Augustana's annual "Undergraduate Summer Research" poster presentation, held inside the Gilbert Science Center.
The research, Duffield says, is significant because "fighting cancer is all about the plan you make at the beginning."
Duffield was one of 70 Augustana students who conducted scientific and biomedical research and/or completed internships or volunteer positions at facilities throughout the U.S. as part of the College's Summer Research Program, an initiative that places undergraduates in the field at laboratories, hospitals and study tanks throughout the U.S.

Hayley Atwell to co-star in Cinderella
- Bang Showbiz
- 22 August 2013
Hayley Atwell will have a small role in Disney's new adaptation of 'Cinderella' directed by Kenneth Branagh
Hayley Atwell will co-star in Disney's new adaptation of 'Cinderella'.
The 'Captain America: The First Avenger' actress confirmed she will appear in Kenneth Branagh's new take on the classic fairytale story and has already begun filming scenes in London.
She wrote on Twitter: "Shooting Kenneth Branagh's Cinderella in Pinewood this week."
The British beauty also discussed her latest role in an interview with BBC News, revealing that she will be playing Cinderella's biological mother in a scene set in the past.
She said: "My character? When Cinderella is five-years-old she loses her mum and she's a good mum, that's all I can really say, that it's her biological mum.
"I'm really looking forward to working with [Branagh], he knows how your mind works, so its wonderful. He's very thorough, like a theatre director. It's with Cate Blanchett as well so I'm in very good company - she's quite an extraordinary artist and I've been huge fan of her work."
Atwell joins a cast including 'Downton Abbey' actress Lily James as the titular character, Blanchett as her wicked stepmother, Helena Bonham Carter as her fairy godmother, and 'Game of Thrones' hunk Richard Madden as Cinderella's Prince Charming.
The movie is due for release in 2015.
