NEW DELHI — Indian space officials expect the country's first mission to Mars to receive final government approval soon, with a launch planned for November 2013.
"The project has reached the last phase of approval. Many studies relating to the mission have been completed, and an announcement can be expected soon," Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Chairman K. Radhakrishnan says.
The U.S. government is expected to give its final approval after NASA's Mars Science Laboratory lands on Aug. 6, though India's orbiter mission will not be on the same scale as that undertaken by NASA's car-sized rover.
India's Mars orbiter is expected to be launched from Sriharikota in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh. The project received a boost in the federal budget for the current fiscal year, which ends March 31, with the government allocating 1.25 billion rupees ($25 million).
The project involves nine scientific experiments. But according to ISRO scientists, the number could be reduced for weight considerations. The mission would launch on a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-XL), which also was used for India's Moon mission, Chandrayaan-1. The orbit will be 500 X 80,000 km around Mars, and the mission will carry nearly 25 kg (55 lb.) of scientific payloads.
"The tentative scientific objective for the Mars mission will be to focus on life, climate, geology, origin, evolution and sustainability of life on the planet," according to ISRO.
ISRO officials say a significant amount of work on the mission has been completed and scientific payloads have been shortlisted. The project report for the mission has been submitted for government approval.
"And I am sure that, maybe soon, we will be hearing an announcement on the Mars mission," Radhakrishnan says.
India has achieved some success in space with its lunar orbiter, Chandrayaan-1, which was the first to discover the presence of water molecules on the Moon. A follow-up, Chandrayaan-2, is expected to use a Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle (GSLV). But ISRO is investigating recent GSLV failures and plans to launch two other satellites using with GSLV Mk. II prior to lofting Chandrayaan-2, Radhakrishnan says. The space agency is working to improve the rocket's cryogenic engine, and associated tests should be completed by November, he says.

Short, steep and tough, the 13-kilometre uphill time trial test from the textile city famous for Ermenegildo Zegna's fine wool fabrics. Uphill all the way, Stage 13 gains 734 metres at an average grade of 5.8% and the steepest pitches of 13%. This is a tough climb but the short distance will limit the time differences between the Giro contenders, and it's a perfect opportunity for Cunego to strut his stuff.

why is this odd?
The Bristol Short-track is not in Virginia. It's in Bristol, Tennessee.GO #8!
Quote from: dsong02 on June 24, 2004, 09:56:41 AMwhy is this odd?oops. guess it is i who am odd.
I am a GA resident and I want to stay in the South. I have applied to Wake, Emory, Vandy, and UGA (among others). I will go to UGA even if I get in to all those schools. I see no point in spending 150K over three years when I can spend 8K a year at UGA. I doubt my chances will be much better getting a good job in the south with the others--at least not enough to justify the increase in price. I think that if you live in GA, AL, NC, or VA and you want to stay in the south, it is silly to go anywhere but your state school.And ps...VA, NC, SC, GA, and FL are all the east coast--it was not until I moved up north that I realized that people don't consider it the east coast, because clearly, if you look at a map, it is.

The Nathan Cummings Foundation partners with StoryCorps
When NCF produced the book "A Family Foundation", the history of its first ten years, the goal was to develop an accurate archival record of how the foundation took shape; to communicate that history with others, especially family foundations; and to encourage interested people of wealth to be thoughtful in creating their own foundations and philanthropic endeavors. We were enormously successful. We have received hundreds of requests for the monograph and continue to receive thousands more through downloads.
The success of that publication started with the NCF stakeholders and we have continued that legacy of inclusiveness and influence with the second decade of our history. We have added a new dimension and partnered with StoryCorps to present an oral history of our work since the year 2000. StoryCorps is a nonprofit whose mission is to provide Americans with the chance to record, share and preserve their stories.
There are hundreds of stories within the Nathan Cummings Foundation; our goal was to capture the essence of the milestones of the past ten years and share them with you in the words of our trustees, associates, staff and grantees.
In keeping with NCF's cutting-edge work and environmental policies, we felt an interactive oral history would not only be greener, but a more intimate way of capturing history using contemporary technology, illuminating above and beyond the page.

New Caledonia (French:Nouvelle-Caledonie) is a dependent overseas territory of France lying in the western Pacific Ocean, in the Coral Sea, to the east of Australia and west of Vanuatu. The territory consists of the main island of Grand Terre, the archipelago of the Loyalty Islands (Iles Loyaute), and numerous small, sparsely populated islands and atolls.
New Caledonia offers beaches, mountaintop fondue in chalets, camping, amazing snorkeling and diving, and fabulous French food.
The people of New Caledonia are split into four major groups:
There is a general move towards more autonomy in New Caledonia and it was decided in the Nouméa Accord that the territorial Congress will have the right to call for a referendum on the future status of the territory (including possible independence) after 2014, at a time of its choosing.
Settled by both Britain and France during the first half of the 19th century, the island became a French possession in 1853. It served as a penal colony for four decades after 1864.
The islands have been an overseas territory of France since 1956.
The 1988 Matignon Accords grant substantial autonomy to the islands; formally under French law. Agitation for independence during the 1980s and early 1990s seems to have dissipated. A referendum on independence was held in 1998 but did not pass; a new referendum is scheduled for after 2014.
In New Caledonia, as elsewhere in France, the national holiday is Bastille Day (14 July).
New Caledonia has a semi-tropical climate, modified by southeast trade winds. It is often hot and humid in January and February. The islands are subject to tropical cyclones, most frequent from November to March. During winter (April to August) the daytime temperature is around 22 degrees. The water may still be warm, but it often feels too cool to really want to go swimming.
The main island of New Caledonia is one of the largest in the Pacific Ocean and its terrain consist of coastal plains with interior mountains. The highest point is Mont Panie (1,628 m).
Grand Terre is rich in minerals, and is an important source of many ores, mainly nickel and chromium. There is a mountainous interior green with subtropical foliage. The outlying islands are coral-based, and have stunning white sand, and sport palm trees.
New Caledonia has about 25% of the world's known nickel resources. In recent years, the economy has suffered because of depressed international demand for nickel, the principal source of export earnings. Only a small amount of the land is suitable for cultivation, and food accounts for about 20% of imports. In addition to nickel, the substantial financial support from France and tourism are keys to the health of the economy. The situation in 1998 was clouded by the spillover of financial problems in East Asia and by lower prices for nickel. Nickel prices jumped in 1999-2000, and large additions were made to capacity. Strikes in the building industry in 2001, which lasted four months, adversely affected many other sectors of the economy. French Government interests in the New Caledonian nickel industry are being transferred to local ownership.
New Caledonia includes:
The main tourist destinations are:
Ports and harbors
Noumea is a popular port of call for people sailing around the Pacific, though most dare not sail during cyclone season.
Rentals - cheapest are:
The buses are not too bad and go pretty much everywhere, but they are infrequent. But they are worth trying and will save you money. You can catch a bus that will take you very conveniently from the Baie Des Citrons to downtown Noumea for 200CFP each way. This is a good alternative to a taxi. The bus that services this route is the No 1 Bus and it is green. This will assist you on your return to the Baie Des Citrons (and Anse Vata) since you will be looking for the Green Number 1 Bus. The bus ride takes about 15 to 20 minutes. A taxi for the same destination will cost approximately 850CFP each way, compared to 200CFP each way by bus. Taxis do not cruise the streets to pick up passengers as in other cities; they have to be telephoned to come to where you are. This makes the bus a good alternative as the total journey time is not much longer than by taxi.
If you are in a hotel or other accommodation you can just ask them to call you a taxi. The same applies if you are shopping in Noumea – if you have just purchased something, even groceries in a small store, they will be happy to call you a taxi.
Hitching is possible, but not advisable. Around celebrations there are many drunk drivers on the roads. Locals prefer to travel during daylight hours when possible as the roads at night are very dangerous and few drivers have sufficient insurance.
The official language is French, and it is difficult to find English speakers outside of Noumea. In Noumea, French, English, and Japanese are widely spoken at hotels, restaurants, and shops. To enjoy a place like this, you should really endeavor to learn some French.
The cartoon series La Brousse en Folie and Le Sentier Des Hommes by Bernard Berger will give you an insight in the local culture and tradition. The comics are written in French, the former imitating the local accent and grammar (or lack thereof)
Other than that, plenty of conventional souvenirs shops may be found throughout Noumea.
New Caledonia is very expensive, since much of the food needs to be imported. There is no culture of bargaining either and attempting such might cause offense.
Buy food from local markets, which are common to almost every town.
Restaurants are expensive. You can eat quite well for about 10EUR at a couple of eateries opposite the library in town. For travellers on a budget, you'll need to observe what the Kanaks do for the best deals.
French food is (obviously) a specialty, but the range of foods available can be a little limited.
Try kava. You can recognize a Kava bar by a red light outside and dim lighting inside. It is about 100CFP compared to 500CFP for a beer, so about a fifth of the price. You drink the Kava immediately once you've purchased it and then go off to a dark bench to relax.
There are many places around New Caledonia that are affordable and in good condition. All you have to do is search around and you will find somewhere to sleep within your price range.
Volontariat Civil à l'Aide Technique ( VCAT ). Conditions: you must be French or from another EU-member state or a country belonging to the European Economic Area. You must be between 18 and 28 years old (inclusive). You must not have had your civic rights revoked by a court or have been convicted of certain offenses.
New Caledonia is fairly safe, but it is wise to take the following precautions:
Iodine or a similar disinfectant is invaluable to fight off small infections, which quite commonly occur in most sores and scratches.
Some mosquitoes carry the dengue fever virus. There is no vaccination for this. Consult a doctor for more information, and see the Wikitravel article.

New Jersey Resources Corp (NJR) hit a new 52-week high yesterday, reaching a peak of $35.57 after opening at $35.01 and closing at $35.17 for a move of 1.05%.
Hitting a new 52-week high is a notable milestone for any company, and it can mean a trading opportunity on either the long or short side, depending on one's perspective. Some view a company hitting its highest price in a year as a sign of momentum and think it means it's time to buy in. Others, though, tend to interpret a new 52-week high as likely signaling the end of a strong run, with the stock peaking out before a period of decline.
However one plays it, it's often a critical moment for any stock and should be noted by investors.
The new 52-week high came on a volume of 647,058 for a stock that has a float of 85.8 million shares and an average daily volume of $467,706. The day's trading means the company's market cap is now at $3.02 billion and it has a 50-day SMA of $31.70 and a 200-day SMA of $29.60.
New Jersey Resources Corp now has a P/E ratio of 16.7.

SOURCE: Freddie Mac
November 16, 2017 13:28 ET
MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwired - Nov 16, 2017) - Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) announces the pricing of the SB42 offering, a multifamily mortgage-backed securitization backed by small balance loans underwritten by Freddie Mac and issued by a third-party trust. The company expects to guarantee approximately $258 million in Multifamily SB Certificates (SB42 Certificates), which are anticipated to settle on or about November 28, 2017. Freddie Mac Small Balance Loans generally range from $1 million to $6 million and are backed by properties with five or more units. This is the seventeenth SB Certificate transaction in 2017.
Freddie Mac is guaranteeing two senior principal and interest classes and an interest only class of securities issued by the FRESB 2017-SB42 Mortgage Trust and is also acting as mortgage loan seller and master servicer to the trust. In addition to the three classes of securities guaranteed by Freddie Mac, the trust will issue certificates consisting of Class B and R Certificates, which will not be guaranteed by Freddie Mac and will be sold to private investors.
The Small Balance Loan (SBL) origination initiative was first announced in October 2014, and expands the company's continuing effort to better serve less populated markets and provide additional liquidity to smaller apartment properties. Freddie Mac has a specialty network of Seller/Servicers and SBL lenders with extensive experience in this market who source loans across the country.
This announcement is not an offer to sell any securities of Freddie Mac or any other issuer. Offers for any given security are made only through applicable offering circulars and related supplements, which incorporate Freddie Mac's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 16, 2017; all other reports Freddie Mac filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) since December 31, 2016, excluding any information "furnished" to the SEC on Form 8-K; and all documents that Freddie Mac files with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c) or 14 of the Exchange Act, excluding any information furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K.
Freddie Mac's press releases sometimes contain forward-looking statements. A description of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in these and other forward-looking statements can be found in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and its reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, filed with the SEC and available on the Investor Relations page of the company's Web site at http://www.FreddieMac.com/investors and the SEC's Web site at http://www.sec.gov.
Freddie Mac makes home possible for millions of families and individuals by providing mortgage capital to lenders. Since our creation by Congress in 1970, we've made housing more accessible and affordable for homebuyers and renters in communities nationwide. We are building a better housing finance system for homebuyers, renters, lenders, and taxpayers. Learn more at FreddieMac.com, Twitter @FreddieMac and Freddie Mac's blog FreddieMac.com/blog.

The Carrie Diaries Season Two Style
A Fashionable Farewell: The Carrie Diaries' Most Memorable Looks
A Fashionable Farewell: The Carrie Diaries' Most Memorable Looks
We know we aren't the only ones torn up over the cancelation of The Carrie Diaries. Each week the CW's prequel offered a fresh batch of avant-garde ensembles to pore over — filling the sartorial void left by Sex and the City.
Season one's styles were filled with the perfect mix of vibrant colors, bold retro prints, and over-the-top accessories, and as expected, stylist Eric Daman treated us to an array of grand creations worthy of the original Carrie Bradshaw in Season Two.
Before we bid adieu to one of our favorite fashion-centric shows, take a trip down memory lane with the best looks from season two.

text: > > Please don't fall into the trap of thinking "e-Science" requires a tie > to the Globus Toolkit to be valid. > I do not think this (anymore). I queried Matthew Haynos from IBM who's an expert in this area some time ago as I'm new to grid computing. The silly questions are from me :o) Answers are his. Because at the moment distributed computing is only popular in the academic research and highly specialized part of the industry...atleast that's what I think. Any professional and personal comments from your expereince? Not true. Distributed computing is more and more mainstream. I think too that you are looking at distributed computing perhaps too narowly. Even if you are referring to supercomputing, witness that more and more of the Top 500 supercomputing sites are increasingly commerical (as opposed to academic or public institutions). Anyhow I just read it again and you stated that "Grid computing becoming more of a defacto standard for distributed computing in enterprises". May I ask why do you think that? I would say b/c of the growing ubiquity of scale-out computing (lots of machines, lots of resources, etc.) What's happening here is that scheduling, etc. is going from the machine into the network. People no longer know where things are going to run with hundreds / thousands of blade processors. This is a sea change. People use to say run this piece of work on this machine, now it's just run this work, I have no idea where. I've written an article series for IBM's grid site on developerWorks: Check out: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/search/searchResults.jsp?searchType=1&pageLang=&displaySearchScope=dW&searchSite=dW&lastUserQuery1=perspectives+on+grid&lastUserQuery2=&lastUserQuery3=&lastUserQuery4=&query=perspectives+on+grid+haynos&searchScope=dW particularly the "Next-generation distributed computing" article for a primer. I think you'll find the five or so articles in the series interesting.

Thay want 64 core cluster with Opteron > processors. > Now I want to know which is better (performance & price)? > * 64 x Opteron Single Core > * 32 x Opteron Dual Core The memory performance of Opteron Dual Cores is less than Single cores in a cluster because there are fewer memory controllers and they will experience more contention. Dual Cores are also generally slower, so they have a lower theoretical performance and their integrated memory controller is slower. Opteron Dual Cores have a higher memory latency than single cores (5-6 ns for single and dual socket systems) . That is much less than the increase in latency seen by accessing memory over Hypertransport (roughly 30 ns). Note that Hypertransport is still very good. http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_8796_8800~97042,00.html The fourth page of the following document has a nice table that shows what kind of Stream performance you can expect with different numbers of threads using dual and single core Opterons. Each thread gets fewer MB/s, but Dual Cores with more threads can achieve a greater aggregate rate. http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/AMD_Opteron_Streams_041405_LA.pdf Another thing to consider is the quantity of memory you are able to purchase and fit in your cluster. Because you will have half the number of memory controllers, you can have half the amount of memory. With Single Cores you could also buy less dense, cheaper memory while still getting the same total amount. If your code is CPU or cache bound, or if this is just a cluster to learn on, then I would go with Dual Cores because I would expect them to be cheaper. If your code is memory or network bound, or if your code is limited in how far it can scale across processors; then I would go with the faster Single Cores that will also have greater memory and network resources per core. -- Andrew Shewmaker

Pine City man was always there for family, friends
By George Osgood
Pine City _ George Young just couldn't do enough. Growing flowers or beating the drums, dancing, or painting, working, or just helping anywhere he could, Mr. Young never quit. Never quit loving either. ''The greatest thing for him was to be involved with his family,'' said Sharon Young of Elmira. ''He just loved everybody. He was a true people-person. But he loved his family the most. ''There wasn't anything he wouldn't do, big or small, to help. He was always there.'' George E. Young, 74, of Pine City, died at St Joeseph's Hospital in Elmira on Friday, May 24, 1966. He was 74. Mr.Young was born in Hastings, PA, and moved to the Elmira area with his family shortly after High school. He enlisted when WWII broke out and flew 52 missions behing a .50-caliber machine gun in a turret on an Army Air Corps B24 bomber. He worked at Ward LaFrance and American LaFrance for more than 30 years, serving as a bid analyst at American - and loving it. ''He was great at customer relations,'' Sharon Young said. ''He would always get the out-of-town customers and take them out and show them a good time, and before they left, they would be doing business with the company. He could take someone out for the night who didn't even speak English and show them a great time without ever talking with them, '' she said. ''That's how he was.'' Mr Young was a self-taught drummer wh played in several bands, including th Joey Augustine Band, in the 1940's and '50's. ''That was his second job.'' Sharon Young said. ''He used to say that was how he got his Christmas money. That man could drum like nobody's business. And he never had a lesson.'' Music was always important to Mr. Young. He loved the big bands, '' Sharon Young said. ''He loved Benny Goodman and all of the others. In fact, he was listening to his little walkman up until about an hour before he passed away.'' Mr. Young was at home in the garden too. And living in nine homes, during his 55-year marriage he had plenty of different ones to work on. ''It was just beautiful, ''Sharon Young said. ''He could grow all kinds of vegetables and flowers. He would take a snip of this and a little snip of that, and put them in his garden and have them growing in no time. And when he got tired of his own garden, he would go aroud to help his children and help them with their gardens, '' she said. In fact, helping was a big part of Mr. Young's life - a pleasure more than a duty - and something the whole family appreciated. ''There wasn't a project in the family that he didn't have a part in,'' his daughter-in-law said. ''It didn't matter whether it was big or small, he was involved. ''He helped re-do kitchens, and He did yard work. If my husband was talking to him and told him that he was going out to mow the lawn 10 minutes later George would be ther with his rake. That's what he did. He always wanted to help with anything.'' Mr Young's children lost not just a father, but a best friend, Sharon Young said. And he was a loving grandfather who lived to see three great grandchildren. And a man who made the most of his time on earth. ''He was just so healthy, so strong right up until the end,'' Sharon Young said. ''He was like a 40 or 50 year old man. He could do anything. People thaought of him like he was immortal, and of course he wasn't. But he lived a good life.'' In addition to Sharon Young, Mr Young is survived by his wife of 55 years Elizabeth;son Michael Young of Elmira; daughters Carole Ellison of Elmira; Nancy Ellison of Pine City; brother Orville Young of Santa Rosa, Calif; seven grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
Age 74 of Pine City, NY passed away Friday May 24, 1996 at St. Joesph's Hospita. He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Elizabeth Andrews Young;daughters and sons-in-law Carole and David Ellison of Elmira, NY, Nancy and Wayne Ellison of Pine City NY; son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Sharon Young of Elmira, NY; grandchildren Melissa Ellison Merritt;Cyle,Michelle and Melinda Ellison; Nicholas, Matthew and Jessica Young; great grandchildren, Hayley, Elizabeth and Dakota; brother Orville Young of Santa Rosa, CA. George was a son of the late George A and Sabre (Cryer) Young. He was predeceased by his brother Robert Young; and his sister, Eleanore Lane. Family and friends are invited to call at the Olthof Funeral Home, 1050 Penna. Ave. Mon 7:00 - 9:00 PM A mass of Christian Burial will be held Tuesday at 9:30 AM at St. Patrick's Church with Father Joseph McCaffery, Celebrant. Interment will be in Woodlawn Cemetery.

Vivienne Westwood
Rebellious, irreverent and provocative, British designer Dame Vivienne Westwood emerged on the scene when she brought punk-inspired fashion into the 1970s mainstream. Since the opening of her first boutique on the infamous Kings Road with her Sex Pistols manager husband, Malcolm McLaren, Westwood has changed the face of fashion with a niche fusion of rocker-meets-romance ready-to-wear and couture clothing. Instantly recognisable by an orb emblem, Westwood's three key lines, Red Label, Gold Label and Anglomania have influenced the fashion world. Whether it be her traditional tartans, ruched detailing or subversive graphics, the designer's ground-breaking look has become part of an iconic British institution.more

Published January 13, 2015
A pair of Original Six rivals will battle in the playoffs for the first time in 40 years on Thursday, as the Boston Bruins host the New York Rangers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Although the Rangers and Bruins have met nine times in the playoffs this is the first encounter since the 1973 quarterfinals, when New York downed Boston in five games.
Both clubs enter this series after being pushed to the limit in the opening round. The Rangers beat Washington in seven games, closing out the series with Monday's 5-0 win in D.C., but Boston's Game 7 was much more dramatic.
Thanks to a ferocious comeback in the closing minutes on Monday, the fourth- seeded Bruins are still alive in the playoffs. Boston nearly blew a 3-1 series lead to the Toronto Maple Leafs in Round 1, losing Games 5 and 6 before falling behind 4-1 in the third period of the decisive contest in Boston.
Boston was down 4-1 after Nazem Kadri tallied 5:29 into the third period, but the Bruins scored three unanswered goals and tied the game on Patrice Bergeron's marker with 50.2 seconds left in regulation. Bergeron then netted the game-winner 6:05 into overtime to cap a 5-4 comeback win and move Boston into the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Now, the B's find themselves in the second round for the fourth time in five seasons. The only exception was last spring when Boston lost to Washington in the opening round the year after winning the franchise's first Stanley Cup since 1972.
While Bergeron came up with two big goals in Game 7, fellow forward David Krejci led the way on offense for Boston in Round 1. Krejci, who led Boston with 23 points on 12 goals and 11 assists during the 2011 title run, paced the B's with five goals and eight assists against Toronto.
With his defensive ability, Bergeron could be Boston's most important player up front. He won the Selke Trophy last year as the NHL's best defensive forward and is one of three finalists for the award this season. Bergeron led all Boston forwards in ice time in the opening round, logging just over 20 minutes a game as he posted three goals and an assist against the Leafs.
Krejci, Bergeron and Nathan Horton, who had four goals and three assists in the opening round, combined to score 12 of Boston's 22 goals against Toronto.
Milan Lucic also recorded nine points on two goals and seven assists against the Maple Leafs, while Jaromir Jagr failed to score but chipped in with four assists. The 41-year-old Jagr leads all active players with 193 career playoff points (78 goals, 115 assists).
Johnny Boychuk added two goals from the back end in Round 1, but Zdeno Chara led all Boston defensemen with eight points on one goal and seven assists. The big Slovakian also led the Bruins with an average of 28 minutes, 54 seconds of ice time per game over the seven contests. With fellow defensemen Andrew Ference, Wade Redden and Dennis Seidenberg all battling injuries, Chara may actually see his playing time increase in the second round.
Seidenberg and Ference did not practice on Wednesday, while Redden skated briefly before leaving the session early. Bruins head coach Claude Julien isn't saying whether any of the three players will be available for Game 1 on Thursday.
The injuries mean Julien may have to ask for more minutes from unproven defensemen like Dougie Hamilton and Matt Bartkowski.
Goaltender Tuukka Rask went 19-10-5 with a 2.00 goals against average during the regular season but he posted a 2.49 GAA in seven games against the Leafs. All told, the Finnish netminder is 11-9 with a 2.57 GAA in the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the backbone of the Rangers is goaltender Henrik Lundqvist and the reigning Vezina Trophy winner certainly showed his worth in the opening round against Washington.
After posting consecutive shutouts against the Capitals in Games 6 and 7, the 31-year-old Swede finished the series with a 1.65 GAA and .947 save percentage. He has eight career postseason shutouts and five of them have come since the start of the 2012 playoffs.
Lundqvist enters Round 2 riding a scoreless streak of 120 minutes after allowing his last goal -- an overtime game-winner -- to Washington's Mike Ribeiro in Game 5.
Logging the big minutes in front of Lundqvist are defensemen Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh, who both averaged more than 25 minutes of ice time a game in Round 1. Girardi and Michael Del Zotto led the Rangers' blue line with one goal and one assist each, while Steve Eminger chipped in with two helpers.
Like the Bruins, New York's most glaring weakness is scoring. The Rangers have enough talent up front to sustain pressure, but they often wind up with little to show for it.
Leading the charge for New York on offense in the opening round was Derick Brassard, a player who was acquired at the trade deadline in the deal that sent Marian Gaborik to Columbus. Brassard tied four other players for the team lead with two goals against the Caps and he also recorded seven assists.
Arron Asham, Brian Boyle, Carl Hagelin and Derek Stepan each posted two goals for New York's balanced scoring attack in Round 1.
However, the Rangers are waiting for Rick Nash and Brad Richards -- the club's two most expensive skaters -- to chip in on offense.
Nash, who comes with an annual cap hit of $7.8 million, was acquired in a trade with Columbus last summer to help make New York a more formidable offensive team. He did lead the Rangers with 21 goals in the regular season, but had just two assists in the seven-game set.
Richards, who signed a nine-year, $58.5 million contract prior to the 2011-12 season, had one goal in the opening round. A former Conn Smythe winner for Tampa Bay in 2004, Richards recorded six goals and nine assists for the Rangers in last year's playoffs.
The Rangers won two of three meetings against the Bruins this season, but the clubs haven't played each other since Feb. 12, when New York notched its second OT victory of the season against Boston.
Despite winning two of the three games, Lundqvist had a lofty 2.95 GAA against Boston this season, while Rask went 1-0-2 with a 2.62 GAA.
Nash paced New York with three assists in the season series, while Gaborik led the team with three goals against Boston before being traded. Lucic, Horton and Brad Marchand each notched two goals for the Bruins.
Game 2 of this series is scheduled for Sunday in Boston.
The Bruins were 16-5-3 as the host during the regular season and 2-2 in the first round. New York was 1-3 at Washington in Round 1, posting its only road win in Game 7. The Rangers were 10-12-2 as the guest in 2013.

Illinois is a governor's signature away from becoming the 15th state to allow gay marriages.
The Illinois Senate followed the House in approving same-sex marriage on Tuesday.
Gov. Pat Quinn, who was present for the vote, is expected to sign it into law.
Debate lasted more than two hours, and the final roll call was met with hearty cheers. Supporters' speeches echoed themes of equality and civil rights with mentions of Obama, Martin Luther King Jr. and Matthew Shepard, a gay college student whose 1998 death sparked hate crime bills.
The bill passed the House 61-54, barely obtaining the 60 votes needed for passage.
"At the end of the day, all we're talking about is treating every family in the state of Illinois with the same equality and justice under the law as others," bill sponsor Rep. Greg Harris said.
House Speaker Mike Madigan appeared to the one who tipped the scales. Madigan quoted Pope Francis in explaining his support of the bill.
"Who am I to judge that they should be illegal? Who is the government to judge that they should be illegal, and for me, that's the reason to support this bill," Madigan said.
Rep. Thomas Morrison urged a no vote during the debate to "protect the institution of marriage" and "strengthen and protect real marriage." Rep. Jeanne Ives called it "the worst bill in the country."
The vote comes after supporters of gay marriage rallied at the state capitol to encourage House leaders to approve the measure after a disappointing spring session.
The measure initially failed to pass the Illinois House when the regular session ended in May. It was approved by the state's Senate on Valentine's Day, but a lack of votes kept it stalled in the House. The bill has been supported by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Quinn, Sen. Mark Kirk and President Barack Obama who exhorted legislators during a Chicago visit to approve the measure.
Obama, who once served in the Illinois state Senate, released a statement saying he was "overjoyed for all the committed couples in Illinois."
The president commended members of the Legislature for approaching the issue in an "open and fair way." He says the nation's journey is not complete until gay men and women are treated equally under the law.
The Illinois Catholic Conference issued a statement saying they are "deeply disappointed" with the decision.
"We remain concerned about the very real threats to religious liberty that are at stake with the passage of this bill," the statement read.
Fifteen states now have laws on the books supporting gay marriage, plus Washington, DC.
Illinois approved civil unions in 2011.

Quite probably, depending on how your campus is networked. A local switch is the preferred method of building a cluster. If you are using a 100 BT network and only have a small cluster, a 100BT switch is so cheap it is almost a non-issue. Even if you DO leave them connected to the campus network, if you do this by interconnecting your switch and the campus network you'll likely see a performance increase. Putting them on a private network gives you an even quieter networking environment and better control over the network, but yes, it will make you learn a whole bunch of things (e.g. DHCP/PXE and more) to get it right. If you go this route, I'd strongly urge that you get PXE-capable network cards and set up fully automated installation and booting at the same time. You'll spend a month learning all sorts of complicated networking, but at the end of it you'll REALLY save time on installation, operation, and so forth and your cluster will be upwardly scalable in size with very little additional effort. rgb > Thanks for any help, > Paul > > -- > JOHNSON,PAUL C > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > -- Robert G.

Washington could become first state to approve pot sales
SEATTLE – Washington state is on the verge of becoming the first in the nation to let adults over 21 buy taxed, inspected marijuana at state-licensed shops.
Supporters of Initiative 502 say allowing recreational pot sales could make drug laws a little more reasonable, prevent thousands of arrests a year, and bring Washington hundreds of millions of dollars to help pay for schools, health care and basic government services.
Voters in Colorado and Oregon are considering similar measures. Based on polls, I-502 might stand the best chance of passing.
Opponents include medical marijuana patients who believe I-502's marijuana driving-under-the-influence is too arbitrary and strict, and some police officials who worry about increasing the availability of pot.

Madagascar 3 Movie Storybook for Android
The latest Madagascar movie looks to be a pretty big hit with the young-ins. As with all the kids who has ever seen the promo commercials, my 4 year-old daughter especially likes the "Afro" song sang by the Zebra. Dreamworks Animation has wasted no time to capitalize off the success of just the commercials and released the Madagascar 3 Movie Storybook App for Android to coincide with the release of the movie.
The app features a similar narrative from the movie, where the group uses a traveling circus to find their way back to New York, complete with actual narration options using the voices of the main characters: Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith; which special appearances of others (crosses fingers in hear from those awesome penguins.
The app is available now in the Amazon App Store for free today only (normally $3.99). So if you want to take what will be another hit children's movie off the big screen an onto your Android or Kindle fire device, I suggest you check it out.
