An Electrical Engineering Perspective on Molecular Electronics
Additional materials available (2)
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
After forty years of advances in integrated circuit technology, microelectronics is undergoing a transformation to nanoelectronics. Modern day MOSFETs now have channel lengths that are less than 50 nm long, and billion transistor logic chips have arrived. Moore's Law continues, but the end of MOSFET scaling is in sight. At the same time, there are exciting new advances in molecular electronics and related fields. How long will the evolutionary approaches that have been so successful for 40 years continue to fuel progress? What role will new ideas and approaches from molecular electronics play in the field of electronic device technology? Is molecular electronics the new frontier of electronic devices? This talk will present and electrical engineering view of where digital electronics is heading, what the real challenges are, and what role molecular electronics might play.

Last week concluded what has been a confusing and all-consuming trial against Anders Behring Breivik in what was supposed to be a cut and dry case.
Breivik was caught on the island of Utøya with a Glock pistol, Ruger semi-automatic rifle, and an arsenal of ammunition after having killed 69 people at Labor party youth summer camp. He even confessed to the bomb attack on the government headquarters earlier that day that killed eight, and detailed his entire planning to police shortly after his capture.
By all measures, the case should have been over long ago. Instead, it dragged on for 13 months with a final verdict falling on Friday: The 33-year-old Norwegian and self-proclaimed militant nationalist was sentenced to the maximum sentence of 21 years' permanent detention for terrorist acts.
Now, there are renewed calls today for Jens Stoltenberg, Norway's prime minister, to accept responsibility for failing to protect Norwegians from the attack and the slow police response that day.
After watching the trial for 10 weeks and listening to the debates since the attacks, one can't help but feel something is lacking. In many ways, it is still not clear who really won.
Technically, Breivik did, at least on legal precedence. He was arguing to be judged sane so that his militant nationalist ideology would stand stronger. He attacked the Labor party targets because he faults them for allowing too many Muslim immigrants into Norway and thereby promoting the "ethnic cleansing of indigenous Norwegians." The court ruled that he was sane and not paranoid schizophrenic as the first of two forensic psychiatric reports concluded.
He also won by getting considerable media coverage of his political ideology during the trial. Indeed, in the political manifesto he released online shortly before his killing spree, he referred to the trial as part of "the propaganda phase" of his publicity efforts. That phase is expected to continue from prison, where he plans to write a trilogy of political books in English and correspond with supporters.
He did lose on one main point: that he be found not guilty. Judge Wenche Elizabeth Arntzen rejected his argument that his planned massacre was a "pre-emptive attack" to avoid a wider civil war that would ensue as a result of the Muslim colonization of Europe. Neither Norwegian law, nor the European Court of Human Rights, gives the right to assassinate government figures for extreme political purposes, she said as part of the historic 90-page verdict.
As for the prosecution, technically they did not win because they were pressing for him to be remanded to compulsory psychiatric care. The judges instead found that Breivik was sane and legally punishable. However, how horrible is it for prosecutors to lose and see a mass murderer go to prison?
Still the case is embarrassing for the prosecution because it never really questioned the first psychiatric report that found him psychotic. Tor-Aksel Busch, Norway's chief of public prosecutions, even had to apologize after the verdict for not having ordered a second report. Had legal counsel for the victims not pressed for a new report, Breivik could have gotten away with the crime of the century.
As for the victims, it's a pale victory. Yes, they get to see Breivik held accountable for the murders and put an end to their 13-month ordeal. But they will still be struggling to deal with the senselessness of his car bomb attack at the government headquarters and the brutality of the executions at Utøya, where he gunned down Labor party youths in cold blood for more than one hour.
The real loser may be Prime Minister Stoltenberg and the Labor party, the target of Breivik's attacks. Stoltenberg is currently under fire after the scathing 22 July Commission's report earlier this month revealed that the attacks could have been prevented and lives saved by a swifter police response.
Stoltenberg today presented his strategy for implementing the 22 July Commission's recommended changes during an extraordinary session of parliament. The hard-pressed minister apologized for the failings leading up to and during the attacks. The commission documented a failure in Norwegian preparedness that was "more comprehensive and deeper than I was prepared for," he told parliament.
However, he failed to dissuade politicians from considering a possible call for his removal. Knut Arild Hareide, leader of the Christian Democratic Party, said it would be "irresponsible to rule out" a confidence motion against Stoltenberg in the future. The minister will next have to answer more questions when he appears before the parliament's control and constitutional committee in coming months.
Stoltenberg will most likely survive the political year until next September's elections as his coalition government holds a parliamentary majority, but he will be damaged. A recent poll by Ipsos MMI for Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet this week showed that more Norwegians prefer Conservative party leader Erna Solberg as prime minister over Stoltenberg 36 percent versus 25 percent.
Regardless, Breivik will spend the next 21 years in prison and possibly more. Although there are no life sentences in Norway, he will most likely remain incarcerated under a Norwegian law that allows his detention to be rolled over in five-year intervals indefinitely.

DOVER — After scoring four goals in its previous three games combined, the University of New Hampshire hockey team emerged from its offensive slump Sunday against Boston College.
Although the outburst didn't result in a win, it was progress. The Hockey East rivals skated to a 4-4, overtime tie at Conte Forum.
Despite picking up a point on the road against a quality opponent, the Wildcats are winless in their last four games (0-2-2).
"There aren't many times you get to feel good about a tie," said UNH coach Dick Umile, whose club hadn't scored four goals in a game since a 6-2 win over Merrimack on Jan. 26 at Manchester's Verizon Wireless Arena.
No. 5 UNH is now 16-8-4 overall and 11-7-3 in the league while fourth-ranked BC is 17-7-2 and 12-6-2. The Eagles were coming off their fourth consecutive Beanpot title last Monday.
The teams finished the season series 1-1-1. BC had won the season series with UNH in each of the previous three years.
"I thought we battled hard and played smart and found a way to score goals," Umile said. "We've been in a little bit of a drought. The guys simplified things I think and got the puck to the crease."
Sophomore forward Grayson Downing finished with a goal and an assist for UNH, including a wraparound that tied the score at 3 just 1:15 into the third period. It was his team-leading 12th goal of the season.
"It would have been nice to keep them from scoring," Downing said, "but it was nice to put four on the board."
The Wildcats went ahead 4-3 on a goal by Matt Willows at 7:54 of the third, but gave it right back when BC's Bill Arnold scored seven seconds later to knot the game for the fourth time.
"I was disappointed we didn't win it," Umile said. "We scored to go ahead and they came right back and scored on the next shift. But the guys stayed with it."
Freshman defenseman Brett Pesce set up Willows' goal when he intercepted a clearing pass at the right point.
"It was frustrating," Downing said. "You finally get a lead and you give the momentum right back. But we didn't fall apart. When something like that happens it's kind of deflating, but we just kept going and kept pushing."
Freshman Dan Correale also had a goal and an assist. He scored 34 seconds into the second period to give UNH its first lead at 2-1.
Trailing 1-0, the Wildcats scored in the final minute of the first period on a power-play goal by defenseman Eric Knodel, whose shot from center ice snuck under the pad of BC goalie Parker Milner.
Downing assisted on that goal as did Trevor van Riemsdyk.
The Wildcats led by scores of 2-1 and 4-3 while the Eagles held leads of 1-0 and 3-2.
"It was a pretty good game," Umile said. "Up and down. Back and forth. We gave up a couple of goals on the penalty kill, but we killed a real important one at the end of the game."
UNH went 1 for 7 on the power play. The Eagles were 2 for 5 with the man advantage, with both power-play goals coming in the second period to transform a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead heading into the third period.
The Wildcats killed off a late penalty and pressured the BC end in overtime to no avail. UNH outshot the Eagles 33-26, including 3-2 in OT. UNH goalie Casey DeSmith made 22 saves.
"I thought we played a solid game," Umile said. "We had a chance to win it at the end in overtime, but we didn't score. We had some good looks."
With six games left in the regular season, UNH sits in third place in Hockey East with 25 points, two points behind league-leading Merrimack and one behind BC. Merrimack and Providence tied Sunday, 2-2.
Boston University and Providence are tied for fourth. Three points separate first place from fifth. UMass-Lowell is sixth with 22 points.
"We played hard and we played fast," Downing said, "the way you need to play when it comes to playoff hockey. It's not the result we wanted, but if we play like this more often we're going to win some games."
UNH has a two-game series at Vermont next weekend before returning home for the final four games of the regular season against Massachusetts and Maine.
Vermont is coming off a weekend sweep of Northeastern in Boston.
"I was pleased with the effort," Umile said of Sunday's game. "It's an important point. It's not going to hurt us and it allows us to stay in the hunt."

I like seeing my work in respectable publications like the North Coast Journal and the Anderson Valley Advertiser, and on popular websites like LoCO, but there's something unique, and uniquely satisfying about the way I present my work on my blog, Like You've Got Something Better To Do (www.lygsbtd.wordpress.com). I don't make any money from my blog, but I also don't spend any money to produce it, and even though I have other outlets for my work, I still enjoy putting it together, as a labor of love, for the thousands of people who come back to read it week after week. I don't own the domain name. I have no control over any advertisements you see while you are there, but at my blog, I can say whatever I want, and have fun with how I present it.
I understand that the internet is a weapon. It is a tool of war, and a tool of oppression. Any useful information you find on it is incidental to it's purpose, and it probably only saved you a trip to the library, but you have and will pay dearly for that convenience. I don't enjoy being online at all. I find the internet vulgar, vapid and voyeuristic, and I don't have to spend very long online before I'm disgusted, pissed off, and disappointed in humanity, but the internet has become the most affordable way for one individual to reach a large number of people, provided you are willing to compromise quality for convenience. Despite the drawbacks, I find some aspects of digital technology, interesting, creatively and aesthetically, and despite my very limited internet access, and even more limited expertise, I do my best to put together the kind of blog that I would enjoy reading, if, God forbid, I ever became bored enough to read a blog.
One aspect of the digital arts that interests me is how easy digital technology makes it to re-contextualize old cultural elements into new artistic expressions. I've been into collage since before the days when I made photocopied collage fliers to promote my band's gigs, and lately, half of the new music I hear seems to be made, almost entirely, from bits of old records remixed together. To me, the one real highlight of the whole crass, ugly, pixilated wasteland we call the internet, is it's vast potential for juxtaposition.
It was in that spirit that I began adding photos to my blog posts. I added pictures for aesthetic reasons, and for no other. Since I wasn't making money, I didn't worry about legalities. When I started www.lygsbtd.wordpress.com I saw the opportunity to re-contextualize photos, memes and cartoons into my essays, and found that it added another dimension to the experience. There is no way I would pay for pictures, and I don't even have enough time online to ask permission. I add photos and pictures only because the internet makes it easy and convenient. Since we lose the directness of face to face communication and all of the non-verbal cues that go with it, in an online environment, the ability to share a low-resolution reproduction of practically any image in the world seems like an odd but reasonable trade-off to me.
In order to be re-contextualized, these images must first be de-contextualized. That is why I do not attribute most of the pictures I use on my blog. Just because I want to use a picture of a lion, that doesn't mean I want you to go to the zoo, or even the zoo's website. I have chosen those pictures to illustrate the ideas conveyed in the text, and that is all I want them to do. That's why I choose to add pictures to my blog in the way that I do, and that's the way I intend to continue to do it.
Is this legal? I think that's a gray area that depends on the definition of "fair use," and a slew of other thorny legal technicalities. I'm sure we could litigate it for years. Fortunately for me, however, it has never been an issue. After seven years, and thousands of pictures, no one has ever complained about the way I used their work. That is, except for one person, Kym Kemp, of kymkemp.com, the Redheaded Blackbelt.
Kym has asked me to remove her pictures from my blog a couple of times. I make a point of avoiding Kym's pictures because I know that she doesn't like me to use them, but on occasion, one of her pictures will show up in a google search, on another site, and I will use it, not knowing that it is hers. What can I say? I write a lot about SoHum, and she takes a lot of great pictures of SoHum. Sometimes her work is hard to avoid. When this happens, and she tells me about it, I'm always quick to remove the picture, and replace it with something else, but last week, Kym got all self-righteous on me.
Kym Kemp told me "I hate what you do." She told me it was "wrong," that I was ripping off struggling artists and photographers, and that I am "freeloading." Give me a fucking break! This, from the woman who could never admit that there was anything wrong with "Mom and Pop growers" exploiting the violence and racism of the War on Drugs, "just to put new tires on their old truck." Kym would never condemn SoHum's Drug War profiteers, on principle, but she has the nerve to berate me for my creative re-appropriation of digital images online. I think that's a truly Trumpian level of hypocrisy.
…and on the topic of ripping off artists, I'll bet that if you asked all of the artists and photographers who's work I have used over the years, and gave them this choice:
- I John Hardin will graciously remove their image from my blog, and give them all of the income I have received for putting it together, or
- Kym Kemp, will give them back half of the money they spent on overpriced black market marijuana because of the War on Drugs.
I'll bet Kym Kemp would still be the only one who wanted me to remove an image from my blog.
It isn't wrong if nobody gets hurt. Nobody ever died in a shootout over my blog. Nobody ever went to jail because of my blog. Nobody ever had a gun stuck in their face, or their kid's face, because of my blog. My blog didn't wreck the economy, destroy the forest or create the housing crisis. My blog doesn't keep women as slaves, or rape women who come here looking for work. My blog doesn't sell meth or heroin to your kids. People don't go hungry because of my blog and my blog does not take food out Kym Kemp's mouth. Maybe Kym Kemp should find someone else in Southern Humboldt who's deeds are a little more deserving of her expressed hatred.

The case is scheduled to be heard at the North West High Court in Mahikeng on Friday, on the eve of the beginning of the ANC's national conference in Mangaung.
A lack of response from the ANC and the fact that the party was not represented in court were the main reasons the matter could not be heard urgently on Tuesday.
The Mail & Guardian has seen a letter addressed to provincial secretary Kabelo Mataboge from Semaushu Attorneys, a Mahikeng-based law firm, that said the lawyers represent unhappy ANC branches.
In the letter, the lawyers said the province's process leading to next week's national conference was "flawed and therefore renders the entire process unlawful".
"We are therefore instructed to inform your good office not [to] continue with further processes, as branches intent [sic] challenging validity of the said process," the letter said.
The lawyers also requested Mataboge to guarantee in writing that the ANC would not proceed with further processes for Mangaung preparation, but that did not happen.
Dali Mpofu, who represented another disgruntled ANC group in the Free State is the senior counsel for the North West faction.
ANC chairperson Supra Mahumapelo claimed the majority of provincial executive committee (PEC) members did not know about the letter. There was a last minute scramble on Tuesday afternoon by PEC members for an emergency meeting to plan a way forward.
Two groups
The North West is divided between a group supporting ANC president Jacob Zuma for re-election led by Mahumapelo and another group campaigning for deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe to replace Zuma led by Mataboge.
Xolile Mqume, a leader of the concerned branch members, said they want the court to interdict North West delegates from attending the Mangaung conference.
"It doesn't matter even if we don't contribute. It won't be the first time that the North West is not seen as the major player in the ANC," Mqume said.
He added that the court application is supported by around 700 branch members from all four regions of the province.
Despite some ANC members were unhappy with the province's nomination conference that took place two weeks ago, ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe gave it a thumbs up.
Said an ANC pro-change member in the North West, who agrees with the court application: "We'd rather not go there [Mangaung] instead of sending people whose agenda we don't know or understand."
North West delegates are scheduled to travel to the conference on Saturday.

Acura waved the magic wand and turned a sport ute into a sedan.
It converted the midsize MDX with three rows of seats into the 2010 ZDX hatchback with two rows.
Acura calls the ZDX "a four-door sports coupe for passionate getaways (and) designed primarily to provide a means of freedom and escape for two adults and their cargo."
No wonder the name carries an X.
ZDX is an all-wheel-drive car that provides all-season security and mobility for those who neither need nor want a bulbous SUV that takes TLC to park.
Acura aims the ZDX at those who don't have rug rats to haul, be they starting out or with an empty nest.
ZDX is loaded to the roof with luxury goodies, and that means whether passionate getaway or a simple trip, wise investing is necessary to have the funds to make it happen.
There are three versions: the base ZDX and then ones dressed with the Tech or Advance packages. The base ZDX starts at $45,495. Add the Tech package with leather seats, voice-activated navi with rearview camera, real-time traffic and weather reports, DVD audio system with AM/FM/satellite radio, Bluetooth and 10 speakers, and keyless entry with push-button start, and it goes to $49,995.
Go for the top-of-the-line Advance package: the Tech package plus goodies such as ventilated and heated front seats; adaptive cruise control that warns if too close to a vehicle ahead and eases off on the throttle and starts to apply the brakes; collision mitigation, which does the same as adaptive cruise control even when cruise isn't even engaged; blind-spot info system; and LED door-handle illumination, and watch the price swell to $56,045.
We tested the ZDX with the Advance package and found the navi crystal clear and easy on the eyes, a panoramic view from the backup camera and valuable readings on traffic and weather. If cars can show movies on DVD screens and clear views of what's behind on navi screens, when will they record the family vacation for viewing on those screens? Just asking.
The blind-spot info system is in the A pillar along the windshield and flashes yellow when a car approaches, which catches your attention only sometimes. An audible warning would be more noticeable, though the beeping each time a vehicle entered the no-see zone, which is fairly constant in rush hour, would be sooooo annoying.
The big plus with ZDX is the SH (sports handling) AWD system, good for on- or off-roading. The AWD system goes to work when slippage is detected. A schematic in the dash shows what wheels are in play when.
Handling is more car than SUV-like. A dial in the dash lets you switch into a firmer sports mode for better reaction to wheel input in corners and turns, but at a cost of jiggling over uneven patches in the road.
A 3.7-liter, 300-hp V-6, same as in the MDX, provides adequate power, especially considering Honda feels it will be carrying only couples on passionate getaways rather than a cabin of kids. Mileage rating is 16 city/23 highway, so couples can go where and when they want as long as they keep track of the gas stations along the way.
Ample room upfront, but the second-row seat can be tight for those with heads and knees. It doesn't help that the rear wheel wells take up some of the space usually reserved for the opening into and out of the rear seat. Rear seats fold flat to allow more cargo.
Latest Autos
The cargo hold also has large storage bins under the floor. Very nice touch. Other neat features include a power hatch lid, panoramic sunroof with glass over front and rear (fixed) seats and a power shade, auxiliary and power plugs plus cell phone holders under the center armrest, and a voice-activated radio that comes to life with a simple "radio on." .
And you may have to look twice to see the rear door handles placed behind the windows, not on the doors. Novel touch.

Learning Index >> Hand-blockprinted Textiles: Phyllis Barron and Dorothy Larcher
Although Barron and Larcher's palette broadened over the years their work always showed a preference for blue, black, beige, brown and rust. In effect these were the colours first achieved from early experiments dyeing with indigo, iron on galled and ungalled cloth, cutch and ferrous acetate. (No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Rays - 201 000 000 - 3 8 1 Red Sox - 201 100 00x - 4 9 2Beckett (6-7-3-1-7, 109) showed few ill effects and no loss of velocity, Daniel Bard pitched a clean eighth inning, walking a batter but striking out the side, and Mike Aviles's home run over the Wall in the fourth ended up being the margin of victory.
Both Beckett and Shields (7-7-4-3-4, 112) were hit for early runs. After Evan Longoria's two-run homer in the first just cleared the Wall, Boston quickly tied the score. Jacoby Ellsbury doubled and scored on Dustin Pedroia's single. Pedroia took second on a wild pitch and scored on David Ortiz's opposite field single.
In the third, Longoria drove in another run - and Tiz matched it as his double brought home Pedroia (again), who had singled and stolen second.
Tampa mounted a threat in the sixth. Johnny Damon singled and stole second and third; he stole three bases in the game, and the Rays swiped seven bags. Beckett then struck John Jaso out looking, though the inning-ending pitch appeared well outside. Beckett had received a similar gift from home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt in the previous inning, when B.J. Upton was rung up on an outside pitch. After the call on Jaso, Joe Maddon was ejected.
The Sox bullpen allowed only two fair balls to be hit in the last three innings. Alfredo Aceves walked two, but struck out two. Bard struck out the side, with the first K coming after Damon half-swung at a pitch that ended up hitting him in the back foot. Jonathan Papelbon struck out the first two Rays, allowed a single and stolen base to Upton, but fanned Longoria for the save.
The Blue Jays scored a run in the bottom of the ninth off Boone Logan and Cory Wade and beat the Yankees 5-4. Boston moved to 3.5 GB the Yankees in the East, while also increasing their lead in the wild card race to four games over the Rays and five games over the Angels, who lost to Baltimore 8-3.

There's been a growing resurgence of working areas of long tables with copious amounts of white boards. They call them co-working spaces. Since the coining of the phrase in early 2000s, they've grown into warehouse size places with cubical conference rooms and modern furniture, becoming a hip thing for entrepreneurial ecosystems and startups across the globe. But recently, I've come to a realization: Co-working spaces are lame.
The idea of sharing a space with like-minded people where you can come in, get your work done and maybe make some new connections is great. But it's not enough anymore. As entrepreneurial ecosystems grow all over the globe and in cities everywhere, a common place where people can work on their laptops in posh furniture doesn't meet the need these ecosystems now face. More and more people are turning to the arena of entrepreneurship to pursue their passions, and as they do, they need help getting acclimated to the community. People need to make acquaintances that can invalidate their assumptions, help create their websites and be friendly ambassadors to the startup community they are entering.
The phrase co-working space has become too sterile. It doesn't begin to encompass all that these places need to be today. We have to move past this idea that cool places to work are all that entrepreneurs need to thrive. That's a great idea. A great idea to get started with, but like all startups, the idea needs to expand and mature to reach that growth stage all entrepreneurs seek.
There should be mentoring opportunities for the more experienced entrepreneurs to influence the rookies. There should be community events such as 1 Million Cups or Failure Nights held in these spaces. Coding classes for people wanting to become developers or improve their Ruby skills. There should be spaces where those hard at work can take a break to escape the glare of a computer screen and caffeinate, hydrate or inebriate. Granted some of these things take time, volunteers or money but if these places are cultivating a sense of community, it would be easier to find people to offer these things up.
I have to admit I didn't come to this conclusion all on my own. I've spent this week in Denver, Colo. getting to know the ecosystem while filming the next edition of ID8 Nation. While here, we ventured to a place, that on first glance, I would normally call a co-working space, but after spending an entire day at Galvanize, I found it was something so much more, and Jim Deters said it first.
"Co-working space just sounds so lame, doesn't it? It doesn't begin to cover what we're trying to do here," Deters said, sitting inside one of the conference rooms that hosts 1 Million Cups every Wednesday morning for anyone and everyone who wants to join, whether you're a member of Galvanize or not.
Galvanize represents the mecca of "co-working spaces". A café and a bar are located in the front of the building when you walk in. It opens up to an open area of couches and tables available to anyone who wishes to work on their startup or just enjoy an intriguing pour-over coffee (or a draft ale in the appropriate hours). The second part of the building has the typical long tables and comfy sitting area where computers liter every surface. Entrepreneurs pay a fee to work in the space, with more established companies taking up the glassed-in offices that line the perimeter of the room. Finally, the third part of the building is an upstairs computer lab that is home to the gSchool, a 6-month coding school for developers.
Now, I'll be the first to say this is a lot to ask from every co-working space, but the mentality is not. Co-working spaces should be the connection between entrepreneurs and community. It has to be more than just a work space. The entrepreneurial journey is isolating and lonely enough as it is, these places should be a refuge where people come to go to find something they can be a part of.
"I just created exactly what I wanted and needed as an entrepreneur when I first moved to Denver from Chicago many years ago," Deters said. "When I came in I didn't know who to talk to or where to go, or where the entrepreneurs even were."
Co-working spaces need to take on the role of community builders, because they already draw in the one thing that is mandatory for building an entrepreneurial ecosystem: entrepreneurs. The time for resting on your laurels and feng shui furniture is over. It is time to take your place in the role of community builder. It's time to grow up.

Brussels Sprouts and Kimchi from Roy Choi's 'L.A. Son'
Roy Choi's recipe for brussels sprouts and kimchi in his new cookbook/memoir, L.A. Son, is a prime example of his effortless expertise in Korean fusion. He throws sprouts, butter, kimchi, lemon, and shiso all together in a hot pan for a dish that looks like a miss-mashed stir-fry but tastes like a dish that's been made by countless cooks for generations. The heat of the kimchi is tempered ever-so-slightly by the butter and the sweetness of the caramelized brussels. Shiso and lemon are a fine finish to the dish, adding bright herbaceousness to the vegetables.
Why I picked this recipe: Brussels sprouts are a staple vegetable for me this time of year, and cooking them with kimchi offered a nice break from more typical preparations.
What worked: I loved the fact that this flavor-packed side dish was so easy and fast to prepare.
What didn't: No problems here.
Suggested tweaks: To make this dish a full meal, consider adding fried tofu or a poached egg on top, and serve with rice.

Jon Bon Jovi and daughter Stephanie Bongiovi weren't about to let recent issues affect their holiday weekend.
The duo looked happy as they spent quality family time together in the Hamptons today following a Thanksgiving celebration.
In order to stay warm in the cold weather, the 50-year-old singer and his 19-year-old daughter made sure to layer up casually and comfortably.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Jon Bon Jovi talks about daughter's alleged drug overdose
Stephanie wore sweats with boots, a T-shirt and a blue fleece sweater, while Bon Jovi opted for a black padded parka, jeans and sneakers.
A little over a week ago, the family was hit with an unfortunate situation when Stephanie was arrested on drug possession after a suspected heroin overdose in her dorm room at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y. Not too long afterward, all charges against the college student were dropped because of a New York law that specifically prohibits prosecution of people who experience a drug overdose.
"This tragedy was something that I had to face, too, so we'll get through it," Bon Jovi told Fox 11 during an interview. "And people's warm wishes for my family and I have been really reassuring. So, we're good."

As Bunnie pointed out on his blog, managing the Bill Of Materials (BOM) for a project can become quite complicated. Even a simple project, if it needs to be manufactured by someone else, would benefit from a BOM-specific tool
One such tool is Aligni, a web-based tool that can be used to construct the entire BOM, coordinate with manufacturers and manage inventory. Oh, and Aligni wants to let open source projects use the site for free.
I interviewed Jake Janovetz on what Aligni can do for open source hardware.
Can you give me some background on where Aligni came from and what it's been used for?
Aligni was created out of a need to manage parts for a small electronics company. Everything on the market was either too big (SAP, Oracle, Agile, Arena PLM), dead (Parts & Vendors), or would not handle inventory (Agile, Arena, etc). We wanted a one-stop shop to handle things from design, part management, BOMs, cost info, inventory, assembly management, quoting, and purchasing. Interestingly, some products out there solved some of these. QuoteFX is a widely used platform for doing quoting via database. I think it runs in the $100's per month per user. Which is absolutely ludicrous. It's just a piece of what Aligni does and we do it much better!
What open projects have used Aligni successfully?
Unfortunately, none, really. Some small projects have started and left over the years. We haven't really pushed hard on Open Aligni. The commercial version of Aligni has lots of successful companies using it.
What do you, or the Aligni team, think about open hardware in general? How do you think it compares to the proprietary approach? Strengths and weaknesses?
We love open hardware. As it has become better defined over the years, it is easier to talk about it. Early on, it was confusing what it really meant. Both open and proprietary are very valid. In particular, a corporate entity will often get a lot of value from using proprietary hardware. It's simply a matter of motivation and accountability. But Open Hardware is profoundly useful and disruptive (that's a good thing). We originally introduced Open Aligni because we felt Open Hardware lacked a venue and a proper presentation. The Open Hardware projects out there tend to cobble together some Google Docs or spreadsheets or other things in an inconsistent and hard-to-maintain manner. Aligni is a more structured, disciplined approach to presenting hardware designs and managing them.
More after the jump…
Once an open project applies, how long does it take for them to get approved and start working? Does access ever expire? Is access limited to a certain number of team members?
Not long if they already have a website. Maybe a day or two? Access never expires and you can create as many users as you like. (with reason, Isuppose)
Does open Aligni have all the same features as Aligni, or is it limited to core features. If so, what are they?
Mostly the same. Although we don't have the Quoting and Purchasing features turned on, if there were interest, we would probably do that.
Every tool has a certain design space. What does Aligni not help with?
Aligni manages the parts used in an operation and just about everything associated with that. However, we don't manage the designs themselves. That is, the version control on CAD, schematics, HDL, etc. That's better left to the git and svn realm. When those tools export a BOM, we capture it and can track it. From there, Aligni is great at viewing cost, material requirements, quoting, purchasing, and inventory. Some of these things aren't necessarily needed by Open Hardware projects so much as they could be used by Open Hardware organizations. Depending on the organization, it might be nice to have a centralized list of parts used so that folks can use the same things. In particular, if they keep any inventory themselves, it's great to know what is already on-hand.
Do new projects have to build parts entries from scratch, or can they search parts that are already in the Aligni database somewhere?
In Aligni, parts are all private to the "site" or organization. So you start from scratch. It's pretty easy to create new parts — especially if you already have a list of parts you already own or are using on a project. The point is that the organization should have a finite number of parts to draw upon. They shouldn't be considering the entire DigiKey inventory as their part manifest. This level of discipline is important to keeping things efficient, encouraging re-use, reducing overhead material, and also making things manageable.
Is there any kind of version control? Like, can someone roll the project back to an older state or fork the current state into a new project (like Github)?
Yes, BOMs can be versioned, rolled-back, compared, etc.
Does Aligni allow open projects to make their BOMs and/or project files available directly from within Aligni, or do they need to extract a final version and host it somewhere else?
Guest access is allowed just like a GitHub repo can have guest access. Or you can export as CSV just as well.
Is there anything about the open version of Aligni that allows for social or collaborative interaction across projects? Once a project is approved can those team members see what other projects have already built or are they siloed?
Within a site, you can create multiple projects — they're just parts as far as the database is concerned. Need another version? A variant? A subassembly? Doesn't matter, really.
It looks like a big part of the benefit of using Aligni is that it makes interacting with the manufacturer easier. Does it also make finding and choosing business partners easier, or does that have to happen outside of Aligni? If you find a partner outside, do they have to sign up for Aligni for the two of you to use it to manage parts and orders?
This depends on the level of interaction required. I'm mostly speaking of the commercial version right now because quoting and purchasing are the two supplier-heavy portions. Open Aligni was created primarily to contain and share the projects and part manifest. As I said, we could open up the Quoting and Purchasing to non-guest members of Open Aligni without much issue. In any case, getting quotes from a vendor is easy — Aligni sends them an email with a private response link. They visit the link and fill in the quote info. Purchasing is similar, but they get a PDF copy of the PO in addition to the response link where they can fill in promise dates for delivery. You could also choose to give vendors an account if you like. Typically that isn't necessary, but it's possible. You may not want them to see competitive quotes and right now Aligni doesn't have the granularity to constrain that.
I see a lot of electrical components. Can Aligni handle mechanical/structural components (like from McMaster Carr)? Can Aligni handle parts that need to be fabricated (like custom brackets)?
Sure. Either way. Parts are parts. Custom parts could have the fabrication drawings associated with them as additional files. File assets are stored on Amazon S3 storage.
Is Aligni a tool that is actually integrated with vendors and manufacturers, like they're the ones who update inventory and part number information?
They can do this through the quoting process. And if you use a contract manufacturer, you may want to give them an account so they can do the inventory updates and manage builds for you directly.

How to be a better sailor
The best thing about sailing is that there's always more to be learned. Here are some ideas to start you on your way.
Stop being so serious about it
Sailors love to talk about how dangerous sailing can be and all of the safety precautions that need to be taken, and these are important aspects to pay attention to. But at some point all of that danger talk can make it seem downright irresponsible to go out on the water with anything less than a survival suit and helmet on. Remember, you are far more likely to be injured driving to the boat than sailing on it.
Sailing is supposed to be fun (and if it's not, then why are you bothering?). Instead of scaring the pants off landlubber friends who you talked into a harbor cruise with a 30-minute lesson on what to do if someone falls overboard, why not remind them to keep one hand on the boat and offer them a life jacket to wear if they (or you) are more comfortable having one on? Go sailing on a perfect day and enjoy it without stressing about everything that could go wrong.
Rediscovering the enthusiasm you had for sailing before you decided it was fraught with peril will reinvigorate you as a sailor. And a happy sailor is a better sailor.
Go outside your comfort zone
Are you a fair-weather sailor? If you don't entertain the idea of leaving the dock unless the sun is shining and the wind is blowing a steady 12 knots but you still want to learn more, it's time to gear up and get out there when you really don't want to.
It's easy to sail in ideal conditions. But you learn more when the conditions are challenging. This might mean going out when it's blowing 20 knots and you can practice reefing and tacking in more wind than you are used to. Or it might be hanging in there and resisting the urge to start the engine when the wind dies (at least for a while). Sailing in light air is an art and a good way to learn what adjustments work best, particularly when it comes to sail trim. You'll quickly learn if you are oversteering and you'll get a real sense of being one with the boat.
By getting experience sailing in a variety of conditions when you choose to, you'll become a more knowledgable sailor when you're forced to sail in those conditions.

Deputies found the New Year's Eve cognac thief they were looking for - in the Broward County Jail.
Sheriff's deputies say a Crime Stoppers tip led them to 47-year-old Hans Kaiser, where he was already facing charges for a Jan. 15 grand theft in Margate.
The Broward Sheriff's Office released a video on Jan. 2 showing the suspect as he forced open the locked display case at the ABC Wine and Spirits store in Oakland Park on Dec. 31. It showed him taking a $980 bottle of Hennessy Paradis Extra Rare Cognac, hiding the bottle under his clothing and leaving the store.
Kaiser told deputies he sold the bottle for $1,000 and used the money to support his drug habit.
He remains in jail, facing an additional grand theft charge.

the point of this is to relegate pretty much all game content manipulation to text files, and all actually programming stuff to some scripting language of my own invention, because I can't get LUA to link (although I know how to compile it now...).
Anyway, I basically have two kinds of data -- global and non-global. Whenever a new game is started, the non-global data gets copied over to the player's save directory. This basically means that save/load processes are limited to folder creation and batch copying (you can do this with C++, right? I shoud look that up :P. If not, I could just have a batch-file preloader. Which wouldn't be a bad idea at all, although does BAT still take user I/O?). Anyway, I'll just copy this text file I made over.
A) A master list of files will be loaded from a text file in /room, which lists ever room file, in the format of:
[total number of rooms]
This data will be stored in a one-dimensional array of variable length. The length will be determined by [total number of rooms].
B) Room data text files contain room name, room description, and information on which room is in which direction.
C) Room data will be stored in a global room folder, accessed by all players.
A) Item definitions are stored in text files. They have a similar setup to the room data files. The exact information they contain is not yet decided.
B) Individual items are stored in text files. Each text file has a name corresponding to a room. When "look" is performed in a room, the corresponding text file is read in and printed. There will probably be an option to supress being listed, and it will be stored
C) Item definitions are not altered. Item location lists are.
D) There are seperate non-global state files for items which can be manipulated. These are editted and non-global. The exact data they contain is not yet known.
E) There might be global items. These will act as interface.
A) The scripting language will be hardcoded. I might use LUA.
B) The interpreter will also be hardcoded.
C) Scripts are stored in a global folder.
D) There is an events folder. This stores text files, whose names correspond to room names. These contain event queues for each room. They simply list script.txt files in a specific order.
F) There'll also be a set of item_events. These will probably be referenced in the item state lists.
A) There's an abstract "player_state" text which stores stats about the player. Whatever stats these are should be hard coded.
B) I'm not sure how I'm storing player position. I could have a current_room room.txt which DOES get altered, in correlation to a current_room pointer.
C) Consider an "automaton" thing for monsters or certain inventory items.
A) When a new game is created, the player specifies the name of the save. A new folder is created with this name, and takes all non-global data files from "default."
B) When the game is loaded, its contents are copied to /current subdirectory. --ALL GAMEPLAY IS DONE ON THIS SET OF DATA.
C) When a ame is saved, the data from current is copied to the folder name specified. If no folder is specified, use a default name (save?). If the folder already exists, confirm overwriting. If it doesn't, then make a new folder. Copy the contents of current to this folder. Clear current (Or not, if leaving it full doesn't cause problems).
D) Come up with wacky file extensions to deter people from snooping.

Broken Age, the crowdfunded adventure from Double Fine launching today to its backers, won't be offered on Steam Early Access. It will, however, release under a "Season Pass" model that gives buyers both of two planned episodes.
"Early Access" releases generally carry the impression the game still is in progress or is incomplete. Double Fine says "we believe Act 1 is a polished and satisfying piece of content in its own right," though other "logistical reasons" make it worthwhile to skip the Steam Early Access release.
Instead, says Double Fine, "Broken Age will be a standard Steam release that includes a 'Season Pass' granting access to Act 2 once it is complete. Anyone who has Act 1—either by being a backer, or by buying the game separately—will receive Act 2 as a free update when it's ready."
Back in July, Double Fine announced it would go the Early Access route as an equitable way to both complete the game while still giving it to backers before the general public, as was promised. The game is available to backers through a Steam key and will become publicly available on Jan. 28.

�°�����ְ��˵ȫ�� �ݽ���Ӣ�ĸ�(5)
For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. We believe that America's prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of God but also in our own.
We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time. We must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, and reach higher. But while the means will change, our purpose endures: a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American. That is what this moment requires. That is what will give real meaning to our creed.
We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity. We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future. For we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn. We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. The commitments we make to each other – through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security – these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.
We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity. We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms. The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But America cannot resist this transition; we must lead it. We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries – we must claim its promise. That is how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure – our forests and waterways; our croplands and snowcapped peaks. That is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by God. That's what will lend meaning to the creed our fathers once declared.
We, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war. Our brave men and women in uniform, tempered by the flames of battle, are unmatched in skill and courage. Our citizens, seared by the memory of those we have lost, know too well the price that is paid for liberty. The knowledge of their sacrifice will keep us forever vigilant against those who would do us harm. But we are also heirs to those who won the peace and not just the war, who turned sworn enemies into the surest of friends, and we must carry those lessons into this time as well.
We will defend our people and uphold our values through strength of arms and rule of law. We will show the courage to try and resolve our differences with other nations peacefully – not because we are naïve about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more durably lift suspicion and fear. America will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe; and we will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to manage crisis abroad, for no one has a greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful nation. We will support democracy from Asia to Africa; from the Americas to the Middle East, because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom. And we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice – not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity; human dignity and justice.
We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth.

LezyneStainless 12 Multi-Tool
Item # LED0028
- 100% Guaranteed Returns
Free Shipping on orders over $50
Bike shop that fits in your pocket.
It can be tough to find a happy medium between carrying everything you need and keeping weight and bulk to a minimum. A lot of hydration packs have only the minimum storage space for your spare tube, levers, pump, chain links, a snack, and a multi-tool. Because of this, the 45-tool kitchen-sink-included multi-tool isn't always the best option. The Lezyne Stainless 12 Multi-Tool has the most commonly-used tools without filling your pack at one shot.
Without a doubt, the 5mm Allen key is the most useful tool on any bike-specific multi-tool. Here the good ol' 5mil is joined by its 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8mm buddies. The Stainless 12 is also packing a Phillips and a flathead, a chain breaker (9 or 10 speed), a T25 Torx, and a triple spoke wrench that includes Mavic MTB, 3.22, and 3.45mm wrenches.
All of this is held together with a forged aluminum frame to keep weight down. The frame is specifically designed to make it easy to use the tool with gloves on. The lightweight frame and tough stainless tools are corrosion-resistant to give you years of faithful service.
The Lezyne Stainless 12 Multi-Tool is available in Silver, Blue, Gold, and Red.

Must have got one made on Friday

I loved the styling and the way the bits weren't wrapped around the shaft. Unfortunately the Phillips bit broke on me only a few weeks after purchasing, while i was tightening a lose reflector on my sons bike. Return was simple and painless, exchanged for a different lezyne multi tool. Could have been five stars if I hadn't got a lemon, oh well.

I received one of these as a gift, and even though I already have a Crank Brothers multitool, I kept this one around as a backup. The wrenches all works well, whole thing seems to be very well constructed. Chain tool is actually better then the crank brothers one in my opinion. doesn't have quite as many wrench sizes though, so it's still relegated to backup use.

Physical Description
General Type Description: Spear point head of triangular section, with straight sides tapering to a sharpened tip. It is formed of steel in one piece, with a conical socket and langets.
The two langets are short rectangular metal strips which extend from the rim of the socket, and are recessed into the wood. They thus fit flush with the surface of the wooden haft. Two rivet heads are used to secure each langet.
The wooden haft is of circular section. The butt end is reinforced with a conical metal shoe, secured by means of a pair of rivets set through two small langets.

Forget snakes on a plane; on Thursday, it was a pair of alligators that flew from the Poconos to Wisconsin. The gators were headed to the Spartan Animal Hospital in McFarland, Wis., where veterinarians will try to repair a leg fracture on 9-year-old "Juvie Gator," and a hernia on 6-year-old "Baby Gator."
Forget snakes on a plane.
On Thursday, it was a pair of alligators that flew from the Poconos to Wisconsin.
The gators were headed to the Spartan Animal Hospital in McFarland, Wis., where veterinarians will try to repair a leg fracture on 9-year-old "Juvie Gator," and a hernia on 6-year-old "Baby Gator."
Video: Watch as the gators are readied for journey
The American alligators are owned by John Boyko, who keeps Juvie and Baby — along with nine other gators — in a Price Township home he purchased specifically for his reptilian pets.
Boyko's gators were injured this past summer when five kids broke into the Monroe County house and pelted the animals with more than 50 rocks.
Thanks to a veterinarian who once practiced in Monroe County and relocated to Wisconsin, the gators will now be getting specialized care over the next four months.
And how do you prepare to transport two injured alligators in an airplane?
Well, you dress them first in pajamas, of course.
Before sunrise Thursday, Boyko arrived at the gator house, bringing an armful of child-sized hoodies and fleecy pajamas he picked up at Target the night before.
The alligators don't like temperatures below 72 degrees, he explained.
"Which one do you think?" he asked, as he held up a two sizes of brown Onesies with dinosaurs and alligators on them.
Boyko cut off the lower half of the child-sized body suit and held the gator, its mouth taped shut, so he could snap the suit around its front legs. Overtop of the suit, he zipped a child-sized hoodie.
The hoods come in handy if the alligators get spooked, he explained.
"You can flip the hood over their eyes," Boyko said.
And when they can't see, the gators go still.
At 7 a.m. Thursday, Boyko loaded the two alligators into the back of his Ford Explorer and headed to the airport.
The gators had freedom of movement in the backseat, where they could spread out before being loaded into crates for the plane ride.
The $4,000 flight was offered by Cloud Nine Rescue Flights based in Williamsport and was paid for by PETCO Foundation. The flight was originally scheduled to leave from Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport, but heavy fog made it impossible for the pilot to land.
The gators took off from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport instead.
"I think it's safe to say that a MedEvac flight for alligators has never, ever been done before," Boyko said.
After they have their procedures next week, the alligators will spend about 14 weeks recuperating in a specially constructed enclosure in the basement of the animal hospital.
The set-up is warmed by heat lamps and includes ponds with special ramps so Juvie Gator can easily slide into the water while his leg heals.
The procedures will be performed by veterinarian Mike Wenninger, formerly of Creature Comforts in Saylorsburg.
Wenninger, who has extensive experience with anesthesia and surgery for reptiles, relocated to Wisconsin earlier this year.
"I don't think the surgery is very risky if you have the proper medical support and equipment," Boyko said.
Boyko became somewhat of a celebrity in 2003 when The New York Times covered his fight with Connecticut to keep his alligators.
Boyko had been keeping pet alligators since 1994, but the state confiscated them after his roommate's brother complained about the animals.
The three alligators Boyko owned at the time were moved to a local zoo while officials mulled what to do.
In Connecticut, the state's Department of Environmental Protection has the discretion to issue permits for alligators, but denied Boyko's request.
His only option was to either surrender them to a zoo or move them to a state that does not require permits for exotic reptiles.
Enter Saylorsburg resident Betsy Gimbel, who offered the alligators refuge after reading The New York Times article.
In 2005, Gimbel died, and Boyko moved the animals to Price Township, where he drives from his Bridgeport, Conn., home once a week to care for them.
During the week, neighbors keep watch on the house. In fact, it was a neighbor who caught the five children who broke into the house earlier this year.
On Thursday morning, neighbors Dave and Athena Trechel came to make sure Boyko made it to the airport.
At one time the Trechels were leery of the beasts, but they have grown used to them during the six years they've lived next door.
"We have gator neighbors," Athena Trechel said, "and we don't mind."
