Nerds Gone Wild. Hundreds of people in strange costumes are milling around the North Building at McCormick Place in Chicago as you read this. Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) kicked off its 2012 weekend of celebrities, panels, and comic artists today. Entertainment guests include native Chicagoan John Cusack, promoting his upcoming movie, The Raven; TV personality and Nerdist website founder Chris Hardwicke; Doctor Who/Torchwood star John Barrowman; actress Lauren Cohan from The Vampire Diaries and The Walking Dead; and musician/comic writer Tom Morello. C2E2 runs through Sunday evening.
The Early Birds Are Chirping. The next two Saturdays are going to be fun and challenging for vinyl junkies. Next Saturday is Record Store Day (I'm hoping to post a preview soon), and tomorrow brings the 10th Annual Chicago Independent Radio Project (CHIRP) Record Fair to the Chicago Journeyman Plumbers Union Hall at 1340 W. Washington. The $7 admission gives you access to tons of records for sale, as well as live entertainment and Pop Quiz Trivia. There will be a pre-admission sale from 8:00 to 10:00 AM tomorrow. The price for getting first crack at all those musical treasures is $25. The Fair also runs on Sunday.
Gag Order. Jamie Masada, a stand-up comic with loads of experience in helping out worthy causes will be hosting the The Jokes 4 Miles Joke-a-Thon at the Laugh Factory club in Chicago on Tuesday, April 24th and Wednesday, April 25th. Jokes 4 Miles is a project run by veteran stand-up comedian Len Austrevich. He's determined to collect 5,000 videotaped jokes for his son, Miles, who has brain cancer, and gets a huge emotional boost from watching the clips. The idea is to attract a mix of performers and people off the street to drop by to be videotaped telling a gag (preferably clean) for Miles. Another Joke-a-Thon will be held simultaneously at The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles.
Rock & Fashion. The past 20 years of rock music and its accompanying fashion trends seem to have zipped by in a blur. Fortunately, the U.K.-based Fashion Rider Blog has captured it all in an eye-catching chart that covers everything from Grunge queen Courtney Love ("A sick twist on childlike clothing") to the military style associated with Britpop band, Oasis. I'm not sure what Chiptune is, but apparently it's coming in the near future and involves wearing nothing but a t shirt and thigh-high boots.
Acoustic At The Cavern. When I reviewed Manchester-based musician Paul Hughes's one-man band The Candy Strypers' digital album, ¡contenidos caliente!, earlier this week, I mentioned it would be great to hear these catchy power pop songs in a live setting. I've just heard from Hughes that he'll be playing an acoustic gig at The Cavern Club, as part of International Pop Overthrow - Liverpool. "I'm just totally psyched to play at the spiritual home of The Beatles," Hughes wrote in an email, "who have always been my first musical love!" International Pop Overthrow - Liverpool takes place from May 15th through the 22nd, quickly followed by IPO - London, from May 25th through the 27th.
Bash Is Back. In the meantime, International Pop Overthrow - Chicago kicks off a ten-day run next Thursday. IPO CEO/Founder David Bash has opted to stage all of this year's showcases at Red Line Tap. I'm hoping to post previews of the participating bands, starting early next week.
Head On A Platter. The Head, the young Atlanta power pop trio that impressed with its second CD, Hang On, has a new 7" vinyl single called "Tony" b/w "Gotta Fall" coming out May 8th. It's a preview from their soon to be released third CD.

Archon supports Intel sockets 775/1155/1156/1366 as well as AMD sockets AM2/AM2+/AM3. Naturally, larger cases will provide maximum compatibility whereas smaller ones will require you to do some math. The following picture can help you with checking whether Archon will fit in your case.
Archon can be used with one or two fans and, as you can see from the picture below, they are mounted to the cooler via metal wires (fan-clips).
The procedure is simple enough – mount the wires on the heatsink first and fasten the fan. The wires are pretty tough and it is advised to mount them before the cooler is on your motherboard.
The manual features plenty of pictures and you won't have any problems mounting the cooler.
You can mount the Archon vertically or horizontally – Thermalright's moutning system will take it either way.
There's just enough room between the cooler ant the rear panel to mount another fan.
Archon's heatsink is 42,55mm above the CPU, which means that we could have mounted it horizontally without memory getting in the way. Note however that memory modules with tall heatspreaders, such as Corsair Dominator series, will not allow for horizontal placement of Archon.
In short, mounting Archon on EVGA's FTW 3 went without a hitch. However, you still might want to check out Thermalright's compatibility list, which can be found here.
For instance, Thermalright warns users that P55 might introduce problems and the company said:
"Archon's length measures 155mm, so the first step would be confirm the position of your first vga slot on the motherboard, especially ASUS P55 series users, please take note of the following installation instruction.
Normal ATX board would have space for 7 vga slots, but most motherboard manufacturers would only supply six PCI slots, this is because the area of the first slot is often taken by the north bridge, but due to the new P55 design, there will be no north bridge, so the first slot would be used as a primary VGA slot.
Before installing the Archon CPU cooler, you may confirm by looking at the I/O ports, right below the I/O port if there is a close-by first slot, then you will need to have your vga card installed in the second PCI-E slot, to have enough space for Archon, please see below.
If the position of your first PCI-E slot is in the second slot, then you may install the Archon without any problem, please see below
Since Thermalright Archon is 170mm tall, you must have a case at least 190mm wide. In case you have a fan on the side panel, you'll have to take it off before mounting Archon. Archon fit like a glove in our Corsair Obsidian 800D.

Ferrari 458 Speciale to Debut in Frankfurt
The Ferrari 458 gets even more hardcore with the new Speciale model.
Ferrari is introducing a new, performance-focused model of the 458 called the Ferrari 458 Speciale. This lightweight, track-ready Ferrari, which will officially debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a few weeks, is in the same vein as previous Ferrari models like the 360 Challenge Stradale and F430 Scuderia.
The Ferrari 458 Speciale is powered by the same 4.5-liter V-8 as the standard 458 Italia, but the engine gains an extra 34 horsepower, bringing the total up to 596 hp. Ferrari says this engine has the highest specific power output of any road-going naturally aspirated engine, with 132 horsepower per liter. This helps get the car from 0-62 mph in a blistering 3.0 seconds, per Ferrari's estimate, 0.4 seconds faster than the 458 Italia.
More on the 458 Italia: Ferrari 458 Italia vs. Ducati 1198 S
Ferrari has also cut a significant amount of weight from the 458 in the name of performance, bringing the car down to 2844 lbs, more than 400 lbs lighter than the standard 458 Italia. With its light weight along with specially-developed Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, the 458 Speciale apparently pulls the highest lateral acceleration of any Ferrari in history to date with 1.33g. On Ferrari's own Fiorano Circuit race course, the 458 Speciale achieves a lap time of 1:23.5, making it one of the fastest Ferrari road cars ever, just 0.5 seconds behind the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.
The exterior of the 458 Speciale distinguishes itself with white and blue racing stripes, along with numerous aerodynamic innovations developed by the Ferrari Styling Center in concert with Italian design firm Pininfarina. Movable aerodynamic elements in the front and rear are able to balance drag and downforce, making this the most aerodynamically efficient Ferrari ever. There is also a new Side Slip angle Control system in the 458 Speciale, which Ferrari is calling SSC. This program is able to analyze the car's side slip angle to optimize torque distribution between the two rear wheels through the traction control system and electronic differential.
The Ferrari 458 Speciale looks to take Ferrari to new performance heights. Look for more details and photos of the car to arrive as the car takes the stage in Frankfurt in just a few weeks.

Its not that there arent chances for individual success; there certainly are.
But perhaps the best chance for the Durango High School girls swimming team to make a splash this weekend is through group participation.
The Demons will take three relay teams one for each relay event to the CHSAA Class 4A Girls Swimming State Championships this weekend in Thornton, beginning today. And theyll be looking to crack the top three in the 200-yard medley and 400-yard freestyle relay events.
Durango has the fifth-best seed time (1 minute, 55.01 seconds) in the 200 medley and sixth-best (3:45.32) in the 400 free. The team of Hannah Chapman, Haley Cotgageorge, Brooke Kniffin and Annie Mummery swims both those events, and Chapman said theyre gunning for not only a spot in the finals but a spot in the upper echelon of finalists this weekend.
I think thats just what were looking for this year is actually placing in finals, and I think if were placed sixth so far, I think we can probably pull it out pretty well at state, said Chapman, daughter of Michael Chapman and Desiree Lopez.
Kathryn Ross, in her first trip to state as Durangos head coach, said shes especially optimistic about the quartets chances in the 400 free relay, typically the final event of the meet.
I really think that relay of Brooke, Haley, Hannah and Annie could potentially break into that top three there, especially in the 400 free relay. I watched them drop 5 seconds, a solid 5 seconds, at districts, so I have high hopes for state, Ross said.
The third relay team helped boost Durangos numbers on the bus trip to the Front Range. Catherine Dellinger, Bryn Joyner, Rydell Stottlemyer and Hailey Warren qualified for state in the 200 freestyle relay, cracking the 1:51.00 qualifying threshold with a time of 1:50.91 at last weekends district meet in Grand Junction.
Filling out the nine-person group going to state is Elli Earl, the Demons alternate.
Stottlemyer said the 200 freestyle team was elated to join their four teammates in Thornton.
We were really excited, said Stottlemyer, daughter of Kathy and Kent Stottlemyer. I dont think we knew right away that we had gotten it. ... It was awesome.
Ross said she was optimistic in the 200 free squads ability to slide in with a time lower than the state qualifying time, even though it came down to the final meet before state, which meant that one slip-up, one disqualification could erase all that promise.
I knew they could do it, and the whole team was just standing there ready to cheer, and I think I just had goosebumps, Ross said. I knew they could do it, but I was still at the same time nervous they would dive in, not get a DQ or anything. So when they hit that time, it was such a great feeling.
The Demons will be busy in individual events, too. Chapman, Kniffin and Mummery will swim two individual events each at state, with Cotgageorge joining Kniffin in the 100 backstroke field.
Chapman is seeded 14th in the 500 free and 12th in the 100 breaststroke, putting her in a solid position to qualify for Saturday by finishing in the top 16.
But, whether she advances to Saturday or not, Chapman said her goal is to come in under her previous best times this season in each event.
Our main goal is probably just to make a best time, even, would be great, she said.
If seed times are any indication, Kniffin might be the individual best suited to make the most noise at state. Shes seeded sixth in the 100 back and 10th in the 50 free, with her time of 59.24 seconds just a shade more than 2 seconds off the top seed time in the 100 back.
Mummery, a freshman, will swim the 100 free and 50 free.
Now its all about getting to the Veterans Memorial Aquatics Center in Thornton, getting loose and hopefully turning in some of their best swims of the year. And Ross is confident the bright lights of state wont be a problem for her squad.
They have experience in kind of that competitive atmosphere. ... Even for the girls that get very nervous, that this is newer for them, they have such great support around them ... its really easy to stay relaxed, Ross said.

Minn. inmates pen apology letters to their victims
Crowded in a small room in the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Lino Lakes, about 40 men in faded blue prison clothes or long, white t-shirts sit quietly at long tables with notebooks and pencils before them.
Each of them is locked in prison because they committed a sex offense.
Each of them is in the classroom voluntarily though, waiting for victim's advocate Lydia Newlin. Her class will teach the men, who will all soon be released, how to write apology letters to their victims.
"I want them to remember that there's somebody else who's also preparing for their release and that's the person that they've injured," said Newlin, director of victim assistance/restorative justice at the Minnesota Department of Corrections. "They've got a responsibility when they've got out to make sure that they don't do anything that can revictimize that victim."
The class is part of National Crime Victims' Rights Week, which ends Saturday. The Minnesota Department of Corrections held special events for inmates throughout the week to help them understand a victim's viewpoint.
Newlin told the men that 11 years ago when she was first approached about speaking to the class, she thought it was a terrible idea.
"There's absolutely nothing I'm going to be able to say to a population of offenders that's going to make any difference for the people that I advocate for. I don't think offenders can change and I think it will just be really a waste of my time," she remembers saying. "I could not have been more wrong."
Newlin said over the last decade she's seen some offenders change and that the transformation often happens after inmates overcome their desire to blame the victim and accept responsibility for their crime and its repercussions. She said at that point they're less likely to commit a crime again — which is important, since most Minnesota inmates return to the community.
Newlin said that as each inmates' release date approaches, it's on two peoples' minds: the inmate's and the victim's. For most offenders, that person is a family member.
Newlin turns to the white board behind her and starts making a list.
"What do you think they're thinking about?" she asks the class.
"Fear," an inmate answers. (The Minnesota Department of Corrections asked that MPR News not identify the inmates in this story because of the impact it might have on victims.)
"Fear of what?" Newlin replies.
"Will they hurt me again?" she's answered.
"Will they hurt me again how? Are they going to hurt somebody else? OK. What else? Will I run into them?" Newlin continues.
Newlin leads them through an exercise meant to get them thinking about what they could write in a letter to reassure victims. She questions them, one by one.
What do you think the one thing the victim of your offense might need to hear that might be helpful for them?
"That I'm sorry," an inmate answers.
But not all victims want an apology. Outside of class, Newlin said for some victims any contact from the person who hurt them can be a trigger for depression and fear.
"One of the biggest challenges that we have is 'how do you let people know about the options that we have for restorative justice?' " Newlin said.
The Minnesota Department of Corrections tried to solve that problem by creating a website called Minnesota Choice, where victims can register for notification of an offender's release. At the same time, they can check a box that says they want to learn about opportunities to talk with the offender. By checking another box, they can say they want to be notified if an offender sends them an apology letter.
Newlin said victim participation has increased dramatically since the website went up. She leads a victim assistance and restorative justice unit at the Department of Corrections that reviews all the apology letters. The letters then go into a "bank," where victims can pick them up. But officials don't tell offenders if victims read the letters. Newlin said that keeps the process focused on the victim.
"When the sentencing day comes and offenders go to prison, and victims walk out of that courtroom, we forget that the answers aren't there for the victims," Newlin said. "There's still many questions that the victims have — and the one question I hear over and over and over again from the victims I work with is 'how come they never said they're sorry? How come they never took responsibility?' "
For some victims or relatives of victims, just having the answers gives them a kind of freedom.
Mary Johnson's son was murdered in north Minneapolis nearly 20 years ago. She said the feelings she had for her son's killer were like a cancer. It took Johnson seven years to work up the courage to talk to him. Afterward, Johnson said she felt a physical sensation.
"I felt something moving in my feet, and up to my legs, and it just kept moving up and up, and I felt it go," Johnson said. "I instantly knew that all the hatred, and the bitterness, the animosity, all that stuff I had for him, I knew it was gone."
Johnson said she'd never presume to recommend the process to other victims. But she's glad that when she was ready, she had the opportunity to hear her son's killer say he's sorry and answer her questions about why he died.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. --George Santayana
The virtual credit world we currently live in isn't an original creation. Mankind has done this before, says anthropologist David Graeber, author of Debt, the First 5,000 Years. Credit "is the original form of money. In ancient Mesopotamia they were doing most things by credit. Coinage was only invented 2,000 years after the first accounts we have."(1)
Throughout recorded history, Graeber tells us, we have alternated between a credit-based economy and a world where coins or some kind of metal or material object was used in everyday transactions. But today, as we wrestle with the consequences of one burst credit bubble and await the bursting of another(2), there are some significant lessons to be learned from how credit was done in the past.
As we navigate The Great Turning, we must create a safety net or "backup plan" as the conventional growth-dependent economic system falters and crumbles. Ideally, that safety net will integrate threads which become the foundation for the new economy -- a post-carbon, post-petroleum, post-peak-everything, more socially just, necessarily degrowth economy.
Graeber points out that in history's prior credit cycles, there was "some mechanism to make sure the whole system doesn't go crazy. For example the jubilees. ... There was a complete ban on interest-taking, along with other things like debt peonage. It was considered critical to assure that society didn't polarize and split apart."(1)
The jubilee concept, which some might remember from Bible study, was a periodic debt forgiveness. The slate was wiped clean. Graeber says this was common in some cultures when the monarch changed. New king, new economy: all debts were forgiven. Sounds like it was the grand "Restart" button.
Usury was the term for charging interest on money loaned. Early Christian and Islamic cultures categorically banned it. In some cultures the word for "debt" was the same word as for "sin." Graeber tells us interest-taking crept back in at the tail end of the Renaissance, which means it was in place just in time for the Industrial Revolution.
Debt peonage was a practice whereby people who couldn't pay their debts were enslaved, or had to sell family members into slavery, to meet those debts. Again, in history's prior credit cycles, there were societal bans on this practice. Graeber's commentary runs that if Aristotle were to return today and see people trapped by today's societal pressures to work at jobs they didn't want to work, he would declare we are slaves in all but name. Student loans which cannot be relieved through bankruptcy proceedings only drive home the point.
In the current credit cycle, none of these mechanisms are in place. And as a result, the whole system IS going crazy. Society IS polarizing and splitting apart, the 99% versus the 1%.
As we design the "backup plan" -- the rudiments of the new economy -- we must be conscious of the need to implement balancing mechanisms, including jubilee, ban on usury and debt peonage. "Listen to the elders," early Transition movement materials coached us. In this case, the elders are the ancients, and they had wisdom that we in all our modern cleverness have completely cast aside.
Charles Eisenstein, author of Sacred Economics and strong advocate for the idea of a gift economy, builds a strong case for a zero-interest economy. In his chapter "Robbing Peter to Pay Paul," Eisenstein gives a detailed example of how paying interest strips resources from the very enterprise you're seeking to nurture.
Right now it's fashionable to consider micro-loans to downtrodden people in third world countries as a socially-just approach. Eisenstein's arguments undo all of that, and point out how the micro-loan paradigm actually sucks the lifeblood out of that developing local community. Inserting interest expenses into the community sets in motion a long chain of monetizing transactions which previously did not need to be monetized, thus creating greater financial need within surrounding local community members. "The goal of paying interest or dividends to investors, to give them a positive rate of return, conflicts with the goal that makes the company socially or environmentally 'conscious.'"(3)
Merge Eisenstein's zero-interest, zero-rate-of-return logic with Graeber's historical research. The wisdom of past societies recognized that interest-taking was a bad thing, and they took strong measures to prevent it.
Graeber says that as the practice of interest-taking crept back in, the convincing argument claimed that one's money might otherwise be invested in a business where it would be growing; thus if that money were instead put to alternative use in lending, it should similarly be growing.
But consider Herman Daly's steady state economy, and the understanding that on a finite small planet, the concept of unceasing, unlimited "growth" is preposterous. If we're operating within a steady-state economy (actually, post-peak-everything we're operating in a degrowth economy), it reverses the logic that Graeber quotes. If the economy isn't growing, and the business world isn't growing, whyever should "money" be growing?
Admittedly, the idea of a zero-interest, zero-rate-of-return economy is very far from our current paradigm. When I ran this discussion past a fellow member of Transition Los Angeles, his snide comment was "Tell that to the 1%!"
Yet at a local, community-centric level, the objections of the 1% are irrelevant. We, the 99%, have to have places to put our money, and the main reason we must subscribe to the investments and banking systems of the 1% is that we haven't yet set up our own.(4)
There's one revolutionary program in all of antiquity: cancel the debts and redistribute the land (in that order).
--David Graeber quoting Moses Finley(1)
Perhaps the Occupy movement has already begun it. Fast on the heels of the Arab Spring, perhaps we are headed for a fulfillment of Finley's truism.
In a publication called "The Great Transition" about the transformation of economics, one of the points posed by the UK's New Economics Foundation was that we need a Great Redistribution. Land access has been a hot topic with other bloggers at Energy Bulletin lately. Certainly within the circles of agricultural reform and urban farming I work with, land is a significant issue.
Peak oil forecasters of the doom-and-gloom variety say that going into post-petroleum with an unprepared populace is a ticket to civil unrest and war. I joined the Transition movement in hopes to avert that prediction, in hopes to help build a positive outcome. Yet Finley's/Graeber's comments are very worrysome. Can a change this big be achieved through peaceful means?
At a minimum, Graeber's commentary provides nails for the coffin. Business-as-usual and grow-grow-grow economic concepts are terminally broken. Things cannot remain the same. At this point in time our choice is Evolution or Revolution.
Thus the third Lesson from the Past goes like this: if Lesson #1 and Lesson #2 seem "too big" or "too radical" of change to make ... we simply do not have a choice. It's Evolution or Revolution. One of them is going to happen.
Personally, I choose Evolution, and am working hard to try to make that happen.

#B005 Union Cemetery (Waverly Avenue Cemetery), Patchogue Village, Suffolk County, Brookhaven Town, NY, USA
These are five historically separate cemeteries adjacent to each other: #05 Union, #05a Lakeview, #05b Rice, Old Episcopal, and Gerard. They were separated by iron fences which now contain significant gaps allowing communication between them. Sometimes all five were identified as "Lakeview." Union is the the northwest site; Rice is the southwest site; and Lakeview is the east site.
In modern times, the cemeteries are frequently amalgamated into a single unit and identified as the Waverly Avenue Cemetery or Waverly Avenue Cemeteries.
More on information and histories on these cemeteries may be found at Cemetery Restoration Committee of Patchogue. According to this web site: "currently many of the Graves for the Cemeteries have been index and loaded to FindAGrave. Others are being unearthed as Volunteers work." While some of the entries here are the result of my personal research, most are not, being based on the FindAGrave entries. Some of the FindAGrave entries indicate an interment in the cemetery but there is no gravestone image; I am assuming that these are cases where the Committee as evidence of the interment but no visible marker has yet been found.
From the 1938 Town Historian description: "Former churchyard of the Patchogue Union Church and later extended into the old Patchogue Village Cemetery on the east side of Waverly Avenue,Patchogue. it is west of "Lake View Cemetery" (Cem.5a) and north of the so-called Rice Cemetery (Cem.5b) and separated from these two cemeteries by a wire and iron fence. At the time of making this copy [about 1938], it was in such bad condition that, while every effort was made to read every stone, one or two may have been overlooked. It contains many unmarked and unknown graves."

Jailing the Johnston Gang with Bruce Mowday
March 4th, 2013
Bruce Mowday is the author of Jailing the Johnston Gang: Bringing Serial Murderers to Justice. He will be speaking at 7pm on March 13th at the Elkton Central Library. During the height of the Johnston Gangs criminal activities, Mr. Mowday was a reporter for the Daily Local News in West Chester, Pa. He was often there when police investigated the latest crime scene and he covered the gang members trials. We thought wed ask him a few questions about the book and his experiences covering our regions most infamous criminal gang.
The Johnston Gang was active in the 1970s in Cecil County and Chester County, Pa. Can you sum up their criminal activity that ended ultimately in several murders?
The members of the Johnston Gang would steal anything that would bring them money. There were more John Deere tractors stolen in the Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania area than the rest of the nation combined. They also stole Corvettes. When law enforcement began to use a federal grand jury to investigate the gang, the Johnston brothers began to murder witnesses, including members of their own family, to escape punishment.
What was the most interesting fact you learned about the Johnston Gang and their crime ring?
I'm not sure about the most interesting fact, but I'll tell you about what I still don't understand. How can anyone put a gun to the back of the head of a family member and pull the trigger? How can uncles take out a contract on the life of their nephew? I don't understand those morals.
Many people in Cecil County recall the manhunt for prison escapee Norman Johnston in the 1990s. What was his role in the gang?
Norman was the youngest of the three Johnston brothers. Bruce Johnston Sr. was the eldest and David Johnston was the middle brother. Norman was more of the follower of the three and did as his older brothers said. Bruce, as the eldest, was in charge for the most part. I always thought David was the smartest and most certainly the most ruthless.
The film At Close Range (starring Sean Penn and Christopher Walken) depicts the Johnston Gangs exploits and makes mention of Rising Sun. Do you think the movie is accurate?
The movie is accurate in parts but it is most definitely Hollywoodized. Some of the scenes are composite accounts of several incidents and some of the scenes never took place. Also, Bruce Johnston Jr. was made more sympathetic than he was. Hollywood was looking for someone that the audience could like but there wasnt any such person in the gang, including Johnston Jr.
What book project are you working on now?
My book on Jim Herr, founder of Herr Foods, will be released in September by Barricade Books of Fort Lee, N.J. I have an October deadline for my book on Gettysburg, Defending Pickett's Charge. I've been working on the book for several years and it should be available by the 150th anniversary of Gettysburg.
Many thanks to Bruce Mowday, and we look forward to hearing much more at his upcoming program – sign up by clicking this link or call 410-996-5600 ext. 481.
What are your family's memories of the Johnston Gang?

A Tasty Burger With Bun Issues at The Public Kitchen and Bar in Savannah, GA
The Public Kitchen and Bar
1 W Liberty Street, Savannah GA 31401 (map); 912-200-4045; thepublickitchen.com
Cooking method: Grilled
Short Order: A tasty burger with potential (and assembly issues)
Want Fries With That? Kettle chips are your only potato-based option, but upgrade to a salad instead
Price: Savannah Philly, $13
Bread-to-meat ratio is something we mention often on AHT. It's crucial to a burger's success, and I don't think you can get there with a pretzel bun. That, in a nutshell, is the issue with the burger at The Public Kitchen in Savannah. Unfortunately, it was insurmountable, causing me to eat this burger with a knife and fork. I'll get there in a minute; let me first back up for a bit and set the scene.
The Public has a lot going for it, including a great location in Savannah's Historic District, and a cool aesthetic that dips a toe into hipster terrain but isn't alienating. Two big checkmarks there. Burgers play a major role in the menu. There are five options, ranging from the super simple "Danny's burger" (topped only with LTO, mustard, and ketchup) to a quinoa burger for vegetarians.
What's New On Serious Eats
My Savannah Philly ($13) burger had a lot of things that went right. The enormous grilled patty is made from all natural, free-range Angus sourced from D. C. Durrence Farms in Glennville, Georgia, heavily seasoned with salt and plenty of pepper. It's topped with caramelized onions and mushrooms and a bubbly slice of melted provolone, and underneath rests the most flavorful slice of tomato I've encountered in over three years of reviewing burgers for AHT. There's also a meticulous swirl of tangy sriracha aioli on the top bun. The menu says burgers come medium-well by default, but I was able to get mine cooked medium-rare, no problem.
Served open-faced, it looked striking in the dim lighting and even better with the top bun in place. Little did I know, that bun was about to ruin everything.
After cutting it in half, unhinging my jaw, and going in for the first bite, the burger went to hell in a handbasket, express delivery. The bottom bun split in two, that perfect slice of tomato jetted out of the back of the burger, and my fingers were instantly smeared with aioli. I had two options: cup the burger with both hands and shove it directly into my mouth, or put it down and attempt to re-crown it. I went with option two.
It did not work. The thick patty, along with the meaty slices of tomato, and enough aioli to lubricate the entire burger from top to bottom, meant the only workable bun would be something that would squish easily, snugly encasing the burger so taking a composed bite was possible.
With its dense, chewy texture and hard outer crust, the pretzel bun was not up for the task. As served, eating this burger requires maintaining a perfect vice-like grip at all times, which just wasn't possible. As Lee mentioned in his review of Wendy's new pretzel pub chicken sandwich, having to re-crown a sandwich multiple times is a "momentum-killer." I only attempted it once before fork-and-knifing the rest of the burger.
Burgers come with your choice of pasta salad or kettle chips. I went with the chips, but they weren't nearly as good as I was hoping. These tasted like a better-than-average commercial brand, not fresh-made. Considering how tasty the salad I also sampled was, this is one of the rare occasions I'd recommend greens instead of starch.
All told, the Savannah Philly burger at The Public Kitchen and Bar has promise—the beef patty was rich with deep, beefy flavors and the vegetable roughage was exceptional—but that pretzel bun has got to go.

By Michael Eck
Special to The Times Union
GREAT BARRINGTON, MASS. – You probably didn't want to be in Rickie Lee Jones' band at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center on Friday night, but it was distinct treat to be in the audience.
Jones has always been a bit of a, well, um, eccentric performer, but Friday she was working to beat the band. Literally.
What makes Jones so magnetic is that she is very, very alive to the moment onstage, but that also makes her a wee bit testy, and she harangued keyboardist Alan Okuye throughout the evening – pushing him to lay out, play quieter and occasionally even asking him to try different parts or instruments before flatly telling him to stop.
"Put that tambourine down," she said during "Old Enough," a track from her soon to be released "Balm in Gilead."
Later she begged the band to find the pocket in "Gilead's" "The Gospel of Carlos, Norman and Smith," finally giving up with a wave of her hands.
And, during "Living It Up," she even barked – albeit gently – at legendary bassist Rob Wasserman.
"Not louder," she said, "just faster."
Here's the tickle, though. Few in the audience would have known there was anything amiss in the music if Jones hadn't piped up. But her curious beatnik perfectionist streak is part of what makes her abundantly quirky music so special.
She began the night on guitar, doing her best distaff Furry Lewis and doling out classics like "Youngblood," "Weasel and the White Boys Cool" and "The Last Chance Texaco" before wiggling deeper into her catalog and her own psyche.
She dotted the long set with selections from "Gilead" including the aforementioned pair, "Bonfires" and the remarkable "His Jeweled Floor," which was draped in Prince-like falsetto from Okuye and frequent Joe Ely collaborator Joel Guzman.
Jones' voice is not conventionally beautiful but it is drenched in emotion and a certain kind of soul. She sounds like a trumpet, all brass and volume one moment and muted sweetness the next.
That instrument made "Gilead's" "Wild Girl" shimmer. Wow.
Eventually Jones, 54, moved over the piano, explaining that she basically wanted a more comfortable seat.
More classics followed, with "Horses," "On Saturday Afternoons in 1963" and "We Belong Together" drawing a strong response from a crowd clearly hungrier for early material than Jones' more challenging recent stuff.
But they got some of that, too, and "Lapdog" – from 2003's "The Evening of My Best Day" – was as a top of the set highlight and "I Was There" – from 2007's "The Sermon on Exposition Boulevard" – was a rare, perfect moment.
Jones knew it, too.
"There's not one time that I do that song that it's not really exciting for me," she said as the performance passed into memory.
As long as you weren't sitting next to her, it was just a wonderful thing.
When: 8 p.m. Friday
Where: Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, Castle Street, Great Barrington, Mass.
Length: 2 hours; no encore
(Unexpected) Highlight: Jones surprised everyone, including herself, with an impromptu reading of "I Come and Stand at Every Door," which she pulled from the b-side of a Byrds single as a teenager.
The crowd: A healthy group old enough to have purchased Jones' 1979 debut, and willing to let her know it.

As the world marks the annual International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation on Feb. 6, the U.N.'s commitment to ending a practice it calls "a violation of the human rights of girls and women," it's worth remembering just how far away that goal remains.
Despite a drop in recent years, female genital mutilation or circumcision is still practiced and valued in some 30 countries, mainly in Africa and the Middle East, under the belief that girls must be "cut" in order to prepare them for marriage. The procedure ranges from snipping off a piece of the clitoris to the removal of all external genitalia and can lead to a litany of health issues, from urination problems, cysts and infections to severe bleeding, infertility or complications during childbirth. The U.N. estimates more than 125 million girls and women are living with the often-horrific consequences of FGM/C. Finnish photographer Meeri Koutaniemi witnessed two step-sisters, Isina and Nasirian (not their real names), from the Maasai tribe in Kenya, endure the illegal practice in late November.
Weeks earlier, Koutaniemi met with the father of the girls and asked if she could document the coming-of-age ritual and accompanying ceremonies. Her fixer had already been in contact with him, the girls' mothers and other villagers to discuss the possible visit. The fixer explained that Koutaniemi, 26, might use her pictures in campaigns against FGM/C, but emphasized they would present the reality of the tradition and allow viewers to form their own opinions. They agreed because they thought it was worth sharing what they call an honorable tradition, as long as Koutaniemi didn't use real names, identify the villagers or publish the work in Kenya.
Koutaniemi arrived the day before the procedure. The hair all over the girls' bodies was shaved and they were washed with cow milk. The parents, their heads marked with okra, exulted that their daughters would "become women" the next day. Animals were slaughtered for the feast that night. The girls appeared prepared but emotionless, sparing shame on their father. To cry meant weakness; to resist meant they would be shunned. In such a small community, they could afford neither.
"The fear comes when the actual ritual starts," Koutaniemi said. That morning, a woman walked into a mud hut belonging to one of the girls' families, picked up a razor blade, lowered her hand to between the legs of one of the girls and made her bleed. The room was dark, save for a flashlight brandished by a child. Blood spilled onto the woman's hands, then the floor. The screams paired with tears as women held the girl's legs and arms. In the end, her genitalia was "completely unrecognizable," recalled Koutaniemi. "They didn't leave anything."
The procedures were done in the girls' homes, where they would stay for four weeks to recover and tend to wounds that continually scab, break and bleed. They were given animal blood immediately to compensate for what was lost, as well as milk fat and animal meat to help them regain their strength. Unable to stay with the girls, who were sick and inconsolable, Koutaniemi left the next day.
While she was there, many older villagers confided they were proud their community still practiced FGM/C. "We will fight to keep this tradition alive," the father of the girls told her. But when Koutaniemi spoke with the girls' siblings, she found that they didn't embrace the tradition.
Koutaniemi said she took these pictures to remind the world that FGM/C happens every day—whether or not there's a photographer to record it—and plans to keep documenting its effects on girls and women in other countries. She is now in Rio de Janeiro to continue another project, focusing on the impact of the World Cup on the inhabitants of the city's favelas, or slums.
Meeri Koutaniemi is a Finnish freelance photojournalist working in Helsinki and abroad on international projects. She is represented by Echo photo agency.

I finally found some time to push some of my projects to GitHub.
.) Efl- Sharp – https://github.com/SabotageAndi/efl-sharp
My C# bindings for the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries. I didn't have much time in the last weeks to work further on them, but I will need them for another project, so there will be more new stuff in the future.
.) uTouch Gentoo ebuilds – https://github.com/SabotageAndi/gentoo-portage-overlay
I ported my intial ebuilds to the latest versions of various packages and took the opportunity to also push these to GitHub.
In the repository will be also other ebuilds, as an ebuild for the driver for the Ralink rt3572 wlan chip.
Have fun with it.

Rock salt 'grit' is vital for keeping our road traffic moving in icy weather.
What is it made of?
Where does it come from?
How much is there in the UK?
Rock salt is the key ingredient in the 'grit' which keeps our road network moving despite ice and snow.
Rock salt is composed of the mineral halite (sodium chloride) and occurs in thick beds deep beneath parts of Cheshire, Yorkshire and Northern Ireland.
'Rock salt is an important mineral which becomes critical to the British economy during winter weather. As part of our role in monitoring all UK minerals, the British Geological Survey provides a comprehensive range of information on UK salt resources, extraction, supply and consumption.'
The UK has large resources of rock salt in the ground that are sufficient to last for hundreds of years.
'The UK is, in theory, self-sufficient in salt. However, the bad weather can cause problems in terms of capacity to resupply local authorities — logistics of getting the salt from the mine to the highways depots once stockpiles built up over the summer are depleted — and so, in our globalised world, at times of maximum demand it is sometimes easier and quicker to import salt from elsewhere into a convenient port. Salt is not easy to stockpile in large amounts because it degrades over time when exposed to the atmosphere.'
In the UK, rock salt never occurs at the surface because the rainwater which soaks into the ground always dissolves it away. Almost all rock salt mined in the UK is used for road de-icing.
Table salt, and salt used as an ingredient in the manufacture of products such as household bleach and window glass, generally comes from brine which is pumped from the salt beds in Cheshire under carefully controlled conditions.
The salt formed 200–300 million years ago, when much of Britain was covered by a shallow sea surrounded by hot dry desert lands — much like the Persian Gulf today. As the water from this sea evaporated, salt crystals formed from the brine, along with other useful minerals such as gypsum (used for wall plaster) and potash (used for fertiliser).
Rock salt is mined at Winsford in Cheshire, Boulby in North Yorkshire and Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland.

ESA Space Debris Office
The Space Debris Office coordinates ESA's research activities in all major debris disciplines. These include measurements, modelling, protection, and mitigation. It also coordinates such activities with national research efforts with space agencies in Italy (ASI), the United Kingdom (BNSC), France (CNES) and Germany (DLR). Together with ESA, these national agencies form the European Network of Competences on Space Debris (SD NoC).
Agency expertise is mainly concentrated at the European Space Operations Centre (ESA/ESOC), Darmstadt, Germany, and the European Space Research & Technology Centre (ESA/ESTEC), Noordwijk, The Netherlands.
The debris team at ESOC have developed long-standing experience in the areas of:
- Radar and optical measurements and their simulation
- Development of space debris and meteoroid environment and risk assessment models
- Analysis of debris mitigation measures and their effectiveness for long-term environmental stability
- In-orbit collision risk assessments
- Re-entry safety analyses
- Space debris database issues
The debris team at ESTEC have a strong background in:
- In-situ impact sensor technology
- Vulnerability and impact damage analyses
- Hypervelocity accelerator technologies
- Hypervelocity impact shielding and protection
Since the mid-1980s, ESA has been active in all relevant research, technology and operational aspects related to space debris.
Contributing to ESA's Space Situational Awareness programme
ESA's Space Debris Office has also been a forerunner in the definition of a European Space Surveillance System.
This project is now part of the preparatory program of the more comprehensive Space Situational Awareness (SSA) programme; the Space Debris Office supports related research activities on sensor design options, system performance requirements and catalogue maintenance concepts.
Serving the Agency and third-party customers
ESA's Space Debris Office provides operational services in support of planned and ongoing missions within ESA and to third parties.
These services comprise in-orbit collision avoidance (forecasts, prediction refinements and avoidance manoeuvre recommendations), re-entry prediction and risk assessment (prediction of re-entry time and location, forecast of spacecraft disintegration and demise and on-ground risk assessment) and maintenance of space situational awareness information on all trackable objects in the DISCOS database (Database and Information System Characterising Objects in Space).
Technical excellence for space debris analysis
The Space Debris Office has developed and maintains several engineering tools for space debris analysis.
These tools, which are available as ready-to-use, self-standing and self-installing software products, include MASTER-2005 (prediction of debris and meteoroid particle fluxes on user-defined target orbits), PROOF-2005 (planning and simulation of radar and optical debris observation campaigns) and DRAMA (verification of the compliance of space missions with mitigation guidelines).
Global cooperation and information exchange
Since 1984, ESA has organised or co-sponsored several international conferences dealing with space debris. These include the quadrennial series of European Conferences on Space Debris, COSPAR Conferences (Committee on Space Research), IAC Congresses (International Astronautical Congress) and IAASS Conferences (Internal Association for the Advancement of Space Safety).

The iPhone 4S's Siri is a very intriguing piece of tech. Everybody wants in on it. But sadly, nobody but the iPhone 4S will have Siri's brains — until now. A group of mobile developers claim they've cracked the Siri protocol and figured out how to "use its recognition engine on any device."
We won't get into all the hairy bits here, but basically, the guys at Applidium have Siri on the operating table and want to share what they've uncovered.
"As soon as we could put our hands on the new iPhone 4S, we decided to have a sneak peek at how it really works. Today, we managed to crack open Siri's protocol. As a result, we are able to use Siri's recognition engine from any device. Yes, that means anyone could now write an Android app that uses the real Siri! Or use Siri on an iPad! And we're goign to share this know-how with you."
U.S. & World
Will Apple shut them down? Maybe.
You see, Applidium's devs say that the iPhone 4S "sends identifiers everywhere. So if you want to use Siri on another device, you still need the identfier of at least one iPhone 4S." Technically, the answer is yes, Apple can shut them down and possibly blacklist their identifier, but they think it'll be okay as long as its for personal use.
Interested in using Siri's protocol to make your own apps? The tinkerers have compiled a set of tools to help you do just that. Be warned though, you must know Ruby, C and Objective-C.
Boy is Apple going to be pissed when it hears about this.

|PiMPro Portable Analyzer
|PiMPro Classic 700
CCI's PiMPro Classic 700 portable precision Passive Intermod (PIM) analyzer has been designed from the ground up to meet the specific challenges of PIM testing both in the field and in the lab. PiMPro Classic 700 covers the upper and lower 700 MHz bands, both 698-746 MHz and 746-798 MHz. The Analyzer delivers maximum power of two carriers at 40 watts (40W x 2) and uncompromising accuracy of intermodulation (IM) measurements, with a sensitivity of -125 dBm( -168 dBc at 20 watts). At less than 36 pounds the PIMPro Classic is rugged and compact in a portable carry-on size, this combined with it's easy to use graphic navigation tools and unique touch screen display make it an invaluable tool for on site PIM testing.
Long-term Evolution (LTE) radios are configured for 40 watts or more output power per carrier. Since site configurations can have as many as four carriers per sector, PIM testing at anything less than 40W x 2 does not accurately simulate live network traffic and is likely to understate actual site PIM levels. PiMPro's 40W x 2 power level allows for more realistic PIM level testing in the field. By design, the PiMPro provides precise measurement of the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th order of intermodulation of any system or component under high-power conditions. In addition to passive intermodulation measurements, the unit will provide VSWR and Return Loss values. PiMPro can be used to verify the integrity of individual passive components including connectors, cable assemblies, antennas, filters, making it an integral performance tool for both field and lab technicians.
PiMPro Eco is an optional software application for automating PIM lab-based measurements performed on the PiMPro family of analyzers. The application allows users to create and recall test profiles, simultaneously perform frequency and power sweep, create customized reports for distribution and control ancillary instruments, such as network analyzers, signal analyzers and power meters for related RF measurements. PiMPro Eco software includes the applications source code written in LabVIEW, with a perpetual-use, royalty-free license. PiMPro Eco source code can easily be modified for various lab, field, production and proprietary environments. CCI's turn-key PIM solutions, leverage best-in-class instrumentation partners, RF-centric software expertise and a global support network.

Measurement & Configuration
|System Configuration
System Configuration is the first data entry point for PiMPro users, where all system and report generation parameters are set. Includes settings for Date and Time, Audio Alarm, RF Power on Time interval, central Data Label management, PiMPro registration information and IP address are all keyed in from this screen. Software updates and screen calibrations are also accessed from this screen.
|PIM vs Return Loss
PiMPro's main measurement screen provides instantaneous PIM measurement in both dBc or dBm. The large display flashes to annunciate the presence of RF power at the output connector. Pass/Marginal/Fail Limits, Output Power, Frequency and IM settings originate from this screen. PiMPro's unique Return Loss diagnostic feature at high transmit (TX) power, quickly points out open cables.
|PIM vs Time
The PIM vs Time dynamic measurement mode features a graphical representation of PIM as a function of time. Time scale can be set from 10 seconds to 4 minutes. The PiMPro Return Loss feature is also available on this screen.
|Frequency Sweep
PiMPro displays a swept receive (RX) PIM range by sweeping the TX carriers from end to end within the set frequency band. PIM frequency response is displayed, exposing the worst case PIM level and the contributing frequencies. Users can immediately transfer the graph to the PIM vs Time feature and run a new test to isolate the causes of the specific PIM.
|RX Interference
With both internal amplifiers set to off, PiMPro performs a spectral analysis sweep, for interfering signals. RX Interference mode provides the added ability to discern PIM from external interfering signals in the receive band. External and internal PIM signals are unlikely to be in phase or simultaneous within PiMPro's narrow receiver range, therefore, making RX Interference a powerful field diagnostic tool.
|Report Generator
Report data for all measurement modes can be stored in either, HTML or PDF file format. Users can concatenate a limitless series of measurements with different sector, feeder, color codes, as one single PDF file. Reports can be saved in PiMPro's internal memory or to external USB memory from the unit's front panel.
|PimPro Eco (Optional)
The PiMPro Eco software application automates PIM lab-based measurements performed on the PiMPro Classic and Rack Mount. Users can create and recall test profiles, simultaneously perform frequency and power sweep, create customized reports for distribution as well as control ancillary instruments, such as network analyzers, signal analyzers and power meters for related RF measurements.

Be Ye Kind While There is Time
I said I was gonna do this and that. Start Mama's Blog called Go Ask My Mama and publish my new Patreon page. I have not. For a few reasons. One being the shutters. I have been painting the shutters and the porch because Mama said -
It just looks so depressing.
To which I said -
It's not depressed. You're just depressed so you see it through depressed eyes.
(Me and Mama have conversations this way. So don't worry. We have been at this relationship for years. Not much has changed except I would say I think we laugh more. And that's a very good thing. We need it.)
So, Mama wanted me to paint the house. I can't afford to paint the house but I did want to please Mama so I stumbled across a house on Pinterest that looked liked mine but it had painted shutters and window-boxes. I sent that picture to cousin Deb and she said - WOW! What a difference. I had to write back that's not my house. But we did get paint for the shutters. It is called FIRECRACKER. We tried little tiny samples of red this and that and the only one that would POP is the FIRECRACKER. I never knew I wanted to have firecracker shutters but I have always known that I wanted to make Mama happy except for a few times that I was too mad to want to make her happy. One was when I was nineteen and the other might have been fifteen. OH, and two other times but outside of that Mama being happy has always been like a goal of mine. My Daddy was just happy. And he was easy to make happier. It didn't take much. A good day fishing whether we caught anything or not was a great day with Daddy. More on Daddy for fathers day.
Mama. Well making her happy was a good thing cause turns out she is right. An old brown house with brown shutters with a side of brown brick is a lot of brown. I would not survive on Survival Island. I've always thought I would but after painting yesterday for four hours in the middle of the day I realize I would be the first to go. The short straw. The weak link. People tell me you are supposed to drink water and not coffee to undertake these types of challenges. That and maybe not painting when it is 454 degrees in the shade. But I am determined. I do have that going for me. And then I have the tiniest little big of that thing where once you get into something like counting toothpicks you can't stop. So now it's all about MUST FINISH PAINTING THE SHUTTERS. Because the fact is it has picked up Mama's spirits considerably and I count that a great thing. Depression hurts at any age. And if happiness and a little relief from that can be had for the price of a gallon of paint and some muscle work on my part - I'm all in.
Now to the news at hand that has saddened my heart.
I'm not going to write much about Anthony Bourdain except for this because the news is full of it. But It's truly why I didn't post that blog yesterday. I didn't see that one coming. Just like Robin Williams who was someone else I admired immensely. One of my sons had been on the security detail for Robin Williams when he went to entertain the troops and I treasured a photo of them together. Like Robin I have been a true fan of Anthony Bourdain since the beginning of No Reservations. I have his shows recorded. I've loved his books which I own. The most important thing to me was his compassion and understanding of people from all walks of life and all cultures. Someone referred to him as a global ambassador and I thought that fit him perfectly.
Years ago I had a dream where I was hanging out with Anthony (or Tony as his friends called him.) We were eating and talking and laughing like old friends. Having the best time and the best conversation. And I think in the dream I actually called him Tony and told him I hated to go but that I had to be in New York the next day to speak so I had to catch a plane. To which he replied, Well, I'll just come with you. So that we could continue our conversation. It was something I always looked forward to as if I would actually meet him in person and we would just pick up that conversation and laughter where we left off.
My heart goes out to all who loved him, to all of his fans, and to those who are experiencing the darkness that drove him to such despair. I am posting a link here for an article written by my good friend author Kerry Madden which just ran in the L.A. Times about how Anthony's death resurrected her painful past with family members who died too young by their own hand.
Maybe, someday in the wide, strange world of the hereafter I could still pick up that conversation like we had never missed a beat. In the meantime, I'll take a deep breath, and rewatch his shows and keep painting those shutters for Mama while she's in this world.
Be ye kind to one another. And, be kind to yourself. This world so desperately needs a gentle touch if any of us are to carry on. And for those who struggle with the dark edges of a depression that leads you down the path of imaging your death here is the link to the National Suicide Hotline. It's NEVER too early to reach out and get help. And it's never something to be ashamed of. 1-800-273-8255
Peace to you and all you love from The Hill,
Thanks so much for reading, liking and sharing with friends.
July 2020

Hickok, Wild Bill
Hickok, Wild Bill, 1837–76, American frontier marshal, b. Troy Grove, near Ottawa, Ill. His real name was James Butler Hickok. He took part in the Kansas struggle preceeding the Civil War, was a driver of the Butterfield stage line, and gained fame as a gunfighter. He served as a Union scout in the Civil War. After the war he became deputy U.S. marshal at Fort Riley (1866), marshal of Hays, Kans. (1869), and marshal of Abilene (1871). His reputation as a marksman in desperate encounters with outlaws made him a figure of frontier legend. After a tour of the East with Buffalo Bill (1872–73), Hickok went to Deadwood (now in S.Dak.) where he was murdered by Jack McCall.

Capitals Agree to Terms with Evgeny Kuznetsovby Staff Writer / Washington Capitals
ARLINGTON, Va. – The Washington Capitals have agreed to terms with forward Evgeny Kuznetsov on an entry-level contract beginning this season, vice president and general manager George McPhee announced today.
Kuznetsov, 21, played in 31 games with Chelyabinsk Traktor of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) this season, recording 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists) and 12 penalty minutes. The 6'3", 200-pound center ranks fourth on the team in points and assists. Kuznetsov led Chelyabinsk in scoring in each season from 2010-13 and finished tied for sixth in the league in scoring (44 points) last season. Kuznetsov was named to the KHL All-Star game in 2012.
Kuznetsov represented Russia at the World Junior Championships three times (2010, 2011, 2012), earning a gold medal in 2011 and a silver medal in 2012. During the 2011 tournament, he recorded 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in seven games, including three assists in Russia's 5-3 win over Canada in the gold medal game. Kuznetsov finished tied for second in the tournament in points and was named a First Team All-Star. Kuznetsov served as captain of the Russian team at the 2012 World Junior Championship. He recorded 13 points (six goals, seven assists) in six games and collected First Team All-Star, Best Forward and Most Valuable Player honors at the tournament.
In 210 career regular-season KHL games with Chelyabinsk, Kuznetsov has recorded 146 points (65 goals, 81 assists) and 124 penalty minutes. The Chelyabinsk, Russia, native was drafted by the Capitals in the first round, 26th overall, in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Kuznetsov will wear No. 92 with Washington.

Cuddyer activated from disabled list
DENVER -- After missing 63 games with a fractured shoulder, Michael Cuddyer was back with the Rockies and would have been in the lineup for Saturday's game, batting fourth and starting at first base. The game was postponed due to a broken water main near Coors Field.
For the corresponding moves to activate Cuddyer from the 60-day disabled list, the Rockies transferred left-hander Brett Anderson (back surgery) to the 60-day DL and optioned first baseman Ben Paulsen to Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Cuddyer has been out since June 5, when he fractured his left shoulder while attempting to make a diving stop at third in ninth inning of the Rockies' 12-7 loss to Arizona.
Cuddyer returned to the Rockies Friday after an eight-game rehab assignment. He spent five games the Rockies' Rookie Ball affiliate and another three with Double-A Tulsa, finishing 13-for-30 with six doubles and nine RBIs.
"The thing is, when you're out two-plus months, it's basically about getting my feet under me again," Cuddyer said. "That was what was good about staying down there for as long as I did. I was able to work out the kinks. I feel good and excited and I'm ready to get back."
Keeping with the Rockies' theme of bad breaks this season, Cuddyer's return comes just a few days after the team announced Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez would both undergo season-ending surgeries.
"It's unfortunate," Cuddyer said. "It stinks, it's not fair but it is what it is. I know those guys are going to do everything in their power to get back where they were prior to the injuries."
Cuddyer, a free agent after this season, was batting .317 (38-for-120) with five home runs and 16 RBIs through 31 games season prior to the injury.
The 35-year-old is expected to see regular playing time down the stretch despite the Rockies being out of contention. Cuddyer is hoping to use the Rockies' final 40 games to prove his health to a organization he hopes to remain with.
"I'm not saying I'm going to light it up but I'm not saying I'm going to come up and stink," Cuddyer said. "But I feel normal about being on a baseball field again which is why I went down there for eight games."
