For a long time there was only one hockey tradition in my family. Whenever the deciding game of the Stanley Cup Final was played, I insisted that my two sons watch the postgame handshake and the ensuing victory laps with the Cup by each victorious player. I don't know what it is about that sequence of events but it brings me close to tears every year. It doesn't matter which team wins or who's on the team. I guess because I work in the business I know the sacrifice and dedication it takes to make it to the NHL and then the sacrificed and dedication it takes all over again to win a cup. It moves me, every single year, and I want to share that with my children.
Well now we have a second hockey tradition. Whenever possible, and this year it's possible, we will watch the Winter Classic game together. My partner, the great Drew Remenda, summed it up best on our broadcast New Years Eve. The annual outdoor game on New Years Day captures the very essence of the game of hockey. Yes it's an NHL regular season game, but the Winter Classic transcends the NHL. It's about the sport, the roots of the sport, and the way it's played when you're a little tyke growing up on the Canadian prairie or on a Minnesota farm.
So on this New Years Day and everyone going forward I will be in front of a television with my sons or watching in a hotel room on the road and calling my sons to share our common experience with the Winter Classic. There's no denying that the NHL hit a marketing home run with the outdoor game, but for many of us it means much more than TV ratings and selling tickets and apparel. The Winter Classic takes us back to why we fell in love with hockey in the first place.
Happy New Year!

What a long, strange trip it's been, and what a great story for San Jose Sharks center Bracken Kearns.
On Sunday, December 29, 2013, Kearns scored his first NHL goal and first NHL point after swooping into the slot on a timely shift change. Andrew Desjardins and Tyler Kennedy had developed a 2-on-1 opportunity that was thwarted at first by defenseman Hampus Lindholm. But Desjardins persevered, and got the puck back behind the net, slipped a pass through Nick Bonino to the front of the net.
Kearns was there, and he banged it past Frederik Andersen for the moment that was celebrated by former Sharks captain Owen Nolan on Twitter with this aptly stated message:
Congrats to @SanJoseSharks Bracken Kearns on his first @NHL goal. You only get to do that once and you'll never forget it.— Owen Nolan (@OwenNolan11) December 30, 2013
The trip to this moment that every young man dreams of has been long and arduous for Kearns. Even though some of it has been in an airplane, much of it has also been rolling on the highways of North America, traveling from city to city, chasing that very dream. Let's take a seemingly simple trip along the criss-cross path that brought Kearns to this moment:
- The journey begins at the University of Calgary, where Kearns played for the Dinos for four years.
- Undrafted, Kearns begins his pro odyssey with the ECHL's Toledo Storm at the Toledo Sports Arena in 2005, a legendary building that inspired the progressive rock band Yes to write "Our Song," after a concert that saw the in-arena temperature rise to 126 degrees Fahrenheit. Listen here. Distance traveled: 1,847 miles.
- At the end of the 2005-06 season, Kearns had his first contact with the Sharks organization, playing in 1 game for Roy Sommer and the Cleveland Barons, a 180 mile trip from Toledo.
- From there, the next stop was Milwaukee, playing for the AHL's Admirals. Distance traveled: 435 miles.
- After one season in Milwaukee, Kearns split the next campaign going back and forth from Norfolk, VA to Reading, PA, and then, back to Norfolk. Distance traveled: 600 miles.
- From there, it was on to Rockford, IL, and the AHL's Rockford Ice Hogs. Distance traveled: 971 miles.
- Next, Kearns hooked up with the Florida Panthers organization in 2010-11. His next move was from Rockford to San Antonio, TX. Distance traveled: 1193 miles.
- At the age of 30, after one full season in San Antonio, his first NHL dream came true, when he skated in 5 games with the Panthers after a recall from the AHL. Distance traveled from San Antonio to Sunrise, FL: 1356 miles. Back to San Antonio: another 1356 miles.
- But after that season, Kearns was a free agent. He signed with San Jose, the organization that gave him his first AHL opportunity. But this time, the destination was Worcester, MA, 2000 miles from San Antonio.
- After scoring 21 goals in Worcester and some solid reports filed out West, Kearns received an NHL call again. He flew to San Jose to play in 1 regular season game. We'll credit him with driving miles: 3093 more on the odometer.
- With the Sharks dealing with some injuries and needing certain roles filled, Kearns played in all 7 games of the taxing series against the Los Angeles Kings, further gaining the trust of the coaching staff. He now has more games played in Stanley Cup playoff competition than in the regular season, and still has 0 points.
- It's back to Worcester for the 2013-14 NHL season after a good training camp in California. Distance traveled: 3093 miles.
- In mid-October, Kearns is recalled to Dallas, where the Sharks are playing the Stars. He plays 10:10, and is featured on a line with Andrew Desjardins and James Sheppard. Distance traveled: 1733 miles. Back to Worcester: another 1733 miles.
- While Kearns was scoring 5-13-18 in 27 games for Worcester this season, injuries were mounting in San Jose. Raffi Torres and Adam Burish weren't ready, Martin Havlat got banged up, and Tomas Hertl went down with a knee injury. The phone rang again in Worcester Sharks coach Roy Sommer's office. The call is for Kearns. Distance traveled: 3093 miles.
- That fast-forwards us to the present. Kearns played in his 8th career regular season game in the NHL, and his 3rd for the Sharks. The moment arrives. He scores his first NHL goal, and is one of the stars of the game in a huge win against the top-rated Anaheim Ducks.
Kearns scored his first goal at the tender age of 32 years, 231 days, making him the oldest Shark to score his first NHL goal in a San Jose uniform. The old record holder was Jay Leach, who scored his first and only NHL goal at the age of 30 years, 190 days.
Oh, yes, I almost forgot: the total distance traveled between cities, not including road trips, was 22,683 hard miles for Bracken Kearns, a still-young 32-year-old who is usually first on the ice and last off. There are still many miles to go for him, but let's savor the moment after all of the years of hard work, perseverance, and dedication. It's a great story.

Many people are creatures of habit. There's something comforting about our daily rituals. They give life predictability and structure which help us master daily tasks. No one is quite the slave habit as professional hockey player.
Strong personal discipline is essential to success. Players try to eat, sleep, practice and play at times that work in sync with their body clocks. Be it at home or on the road the players, team and staff all know what needs to be done.
At home players get to sleep and stay at their own homes. Single guys have only themselves to worry about; married players have home-life and in many cases young children that impact their lives as professionals. During homestands players wake at a fairly early hour. They eat at home or have a light breakfast at the rink prior to a 10:30 a.m. gameday morning skate. From 10:30 to 11:00 they go through a light skate, running simple drills and working on skills. Pro hockey players spend hours and hours working on their hockey sticks and fine tuning their personal equipment. Following practice the players make themselves available to the media. Journalists, TV and radio folks get this morning opportunity which they can put to work later in the day. Home team players will then head home or to a local restaurant for a 'power lunch'. Nutrition is essential to a strong performance on the ice.
A hockey tradition is the afternoon nap. Players like to catch a few zzzz's to power mind and body. Following the rest, players have a pregame snack and head to the arena. Once back at the familiar surroundings of the arena, players slowly ramp up to game time. They work on their equipment, stretch, relax with teammates. Come 7:00 p.m. it's the on-ice warmups. As fans stream in the arena bowl comes to life. Full lights, loud music and the sounds of hockey fill the building. After 15 minutes on the ice players get final instructions and reminders from the coaching staff. The countdown clock in the dressing room gets closer and closer to 00:00. It's at that time that the team leaves the room to confidence, even swagger. It's their town, their fans and their home ice. Let the game begin.
Playing on the road is a bit of a different animal. For road games the visiting team leaves the day before the match. Teams will routinely practice at home then they fly to their destination. Arrival is usually around 5:00pm. Players usually head out in small groups or one large group for a nice casual dinner. Some guys have made arrangements to visit family or old teammates for dinner. The evening will end sooner enough then it's back to the hotel to get rest.
Morning comes quick…it's downstairs and a good breakfast. The team bus leaves for the rink around 10:15 a.m. for an 11:30 skate. The ritual continues with taping sticks and skate sharpening. On the ice there's enough time to 'feel' the ice and figure out how the glass and boards respond to pucks. Drills and skills get special attention. By 12:30 p.m., it's back to the hotel ... lunch followed by a nap. The bus leaves for the game around 5:00 p.m. There are special teams meetings … the powerplay and penalty kill squads get final reminders on opponent tendencies.
In the past few seasons pregame soccer circles with players working on quick feet and eye coordination has taken its place in the routine. This fun drill happens around 6:00 p.m. in the bowels of the stadium. Then it's the pregame skate and final mental preparation. The puck drops at 7:38 p.m. and then it's the real test. Win or lose, postgame it's off to the next city for the next game.
Today the Sharks will have their routine impacted considerably. Rather than flying out the day before, the holiday break has made it necessary to fly out game day morning. The Sharks met up at the corporate terminal at 6:30 a.m. and departed for Phoenix at 7:00 p.m. Once landed in Arizona, the team will head to the arena for their morning skate. The team will have day rooms at the hotel for essential rest. After rest and snacks, the road ritual is full on. The game is the thing. Win or lose, the Sharks will head home immediately following the game. The big question that will be answered is how this change in schedule will impact performance. Barring the unknown this will be the only road game all season which will require a gameday flight. Will the break help or hinder? Tune in tonight on CSN-California or on KFOX to get the answer.
On this Christmas Eve 2013 I want to take a moment to thank the NHL Players Association and the National Hockey League. Thank you for agreeing not to play games on December 24, 25 and 26th.
For as long as I've been working in the league there have never been games on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. The last time the NHL played on Christmas Eve was 1972 and there haven't been games on Christmas Day since 1971. Under the new collective bargaining agreement the holiday break is now 3 full days. I think it's an excellent decision.
Christmas is a time for families to gather and share time together. That goes for hockey players, coaches, trainers, broadcasters, referees, arena employees and everyone else connected with working in the game. I get it that some fans would like to kick back and watch games over the holidays but the NBA pretty much has December 25th to themselves and there are inevitably already college bowl games and the occasional NFL tilt. And you can now get your hockey fix anyway watching the always-compelling World Junior Hockey Tournament that is now televised live in the US on the NHL Network.
The league has already successfully determined that New Years Day will be it's day to shine with the Winter Classic. Why play at Christmas?
The NHL's players especially welcome the three-day break. The regular season is a grind, especially when the schedule is compacted due to the Winter Olympic Games, as it is this year.
So enjoy your Christmas holiday whether it has spiritual significance for you or not. It's a time to enjoy those we care about and love most. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and we'll look forward to December 27th in Phoenix against the Desert Dogs!

Brett is the technology guru of the staff who oversees all the video, but he is also much more than that. As Todd McLellan said, "Brett is the unsung hero of our staff, doesn't get much recognition and people outside don't know how much he does. When he started he had technical skills but our staff is more efficient now because Brett's hockey knowledge has expanded so much."
On a typical game day Brett arrives at the rink at 6:00am and gets home around 11:30pm. On a practice day he arrives at 6:00am and gets home around 3 or 4pm. Long days, but passionate days as he works with some of the smartest hockey minds in the world.
Brett's hockey knowledge, especially of how the San Jose Sharks are hoping or expected to play, is on display during a game. This is when Brett has to be, and is, at his best!
In-Game Responsibilities
During a game Brett captures, edits and marks the live video using an advanced sports software system. He captures a live timeline of the game, a single video file for each period that he works of off. Here is a rundown of his in-game responsibilities.
- Breaks down and does a live capture of all the situations in a game whether they are systematic in nature or of particular players
- During a typical game Brett will mark and create 600 to 800 separate video clips
- He indexes points on the video using pre-set key strokes that are labeled for specific entries, for instance; system plays, scoring chances for and against, individual players, plays from different zones on the rink etc…
- Knows what the coaching staff is looking for in regards to the Sharks systems, opponents, players
- Identifies adjustments and/or tendencies that he sees while watching the game
- Is in constant communication with Jay Woodcroft who is on the Sharks bench.
- Brett will let Jay know if he sees something on video
- Jay will communicate with Brett something the coaches want to see at the end of the period. They can then show players the video.
While Brett's most crucial value from a job description is his in-game video marking and analyzing, that's not all he does.
Pre- Scout
Brett makes sure the assistant coaches are prepared and have what they need from a video standpoint to pre-scout the Sharks next set of opponents, typically 5 games out.
Equipment Set-Up
Brett sets up all the video equipment, configures the network for file sharing (more prevalent on the road in different hotels and arena's), makes sure all the video clips are ready for coaches meetings and when necessary sets up projectors, network cables and lastly oversees all the data backup, storage and filing.
Statistical Analysis
Brett does data and video analysis and provides stats for the coaching staff.
Practice Day
On a typical practice day Brett organizes all the clips for the coaches meetings and also identifies additional clips or information that is needed for the meetings. He is at the disposal of the coaches if they are having any technical issues, whether it is network, hardware or software related.
Bottom line, Brett gives the coaches more time to do what they do best, coach and teach. Brett Heimlich, the guy behind the scenes we seldom see or hear of but who makes the team and organization better because of the tremendous job he does.
Holiday Wish List
It's the Holiday Season and regardless of your religion or family custom it's fun to give and receive and Holiday gifts…. Here are a few goodies and a couple lumps of coal to consider.

Patrick Marleau is asking for 1,200 more games in a San Jose sweater.
Fans from the Cow Palace days have again asked for a late Xmas gift… one that includes a big silver cup in June.
The Sharks broadcast guys… Dan, Randy, Drew, Jamie, Sean, Darin and I wish Sharks fans everywhere a safe and happy holiday season.
A day in the life on the road in St. Louis:
7:30am - CST Alarm goes off that Siri set for me on iPhone. Thanks Siri.
7:31 - Locate robe.
7:32 Turn on NHL Network. Check last nights highlights
7:35 - Make coffee. Any hotel that doesn't have a coffee machine in the room cannot become one of my favorite hotels. Ever.
8:00 - Fire up laptop and log into NHL game notes site. Game day process begins.
8:17 - Check last night's leftover calzone from "Sauce On The Side." Still edible. Salad is not.
9:15 - Catch team bus to Scottrade Center for morning practice
9:30 - Catch up with GM Doug Wilson, Dan Rusanowsky and Drew Remenda. Nashville stories exchanged. Also discuss the question: "What would you do if you won tonight's lottery?".
10ish - Watch Sharks hit the ice for morning skate.
10:05 - Chat with Blues coach Ken Hitchcock. Happy 62nd birthday, fellow Edmonton native!
10:15 - Enjoy lively discussion with Blues color commentator Darren Pang and assistant coach Brad Shaw. Another Ottawa boy, Jamie Baker, joins in the fun.
11:15 - Join the media scrum to talk to Sharks coach Todd McLellan about tonight's tilt.
11:30 - Back on the bus to hotel.
11:45 - Lunch with the aforementioned Mr. Rusanowsky. French onion soup and tuna melt.
12:30pm - Back in room and more pregame prep.
2 - Gym. Would prefer outdoor run but anything under about 40 degrees turns me into a treadmill runner. Hard to believe I use to be Edmontonian.
4:30 - Bus back to arena.
4:45 - Come up with an idea for Great White Bites that was actually due this morning, write it and file it.
Still to come tonight - game vs Blues, bus to Lambert Field, charter to LAX, bus to hotel near Staples Center and check into room. It better have coffee.

We are at the 33-game mark of the season, grinding our way through the schedule to the Olympic break in February. But just because it's the grind stage, and time and space are at a premium, it doesn't indicate that nothing significant or interesting is happening. To the contrary, over the course of the last few games, a lot of interesting things have happened, including the achievement of several milestones, equaling a club record, and finding ways to make the score 2-0 for or against. Here are a few of those instances:
- For the last seven consecutive games, the Sharks have either led or trailed 2-0 in the game in what I believe is an unprecedented such stretch in club history. They have led 2-0 four times, with a 2-1-1 record, and trailed 0-2 three times, with a 0-3-0 standing. That adds up to a 2-4-1 overall record in those games.
- In the seven games, the Sharks have been outscored 8-16 (-8) when skating 5-on-5. Of the eight goals scored, four have been by defensemen and four by forwards. No Shark has scored more than one 5-on-5 goal in this stretch.
- The Sharks have scored 1 empty-net goal in Toronto, and have allowed two empty-netters in Carolina and in Minnesota.
- With the goaltender pulled for an extra attacker, the Sharks have scored two goals in this stretch. In both cases, the goals were scored by Patrick Marleau, and in both cases, the Sharks lost the game (at Minnesota and at Nashville). Against the New York Islanders, Kyle Okposo's extra-skater goal forced overtime, and the Sharks wound up losing the game in a shootout.
- Since the 2005-06 season, when the shootout came into being, the Sharks have recorded a 168-9-10 record when taking a 2-0 lead or better in a game, including a 13-1-2 record this season. They have not lost more than one such game in regulation in a season for the past five straight years, so that means this year's regulation loss at Carolina on December 6th constitutes San Jose's budgeted allotment for the year.
- When down 0-2 or worse in a game, the Sharks are 22-91-14 since the 2005-06 season. This year, they are 0-3-0 so far, and are 0-13-1 in this situation since April 7, 2012, when they trailed 0-2 vs. Los Angeles, and came back to win 3-2 in overtime on a Dan Boyle goal.
- Speaking of winning games in overtime, Sharks hockey has had a defenseman score the game winner in the last 3 regular season games that they've won. Since that LA game in 2012, the other winners have come from Brad Stuart (at CGY on Nov. 12th) and Boyle (at VAN on Nov. 14th).
- At Nashville on Saturday, Antti Niemi played in his 200th game wearing a Sharks uniform. Niemi is only the second Sharks goaltender to play in that many games. Evgeni Nabokov played in 563 games over his San Jose career.
- Also at Nashville on Saturday, Patrick Marleau tied a club record when he recorded seven shots on goal in the third period. It's only the third time in franchise history that such a total has been recorded in one frame, tying the mark originally set by Joe Pavelski on 11/4/08 vs. Minnesota, and equaled by Dany Heatley on 12/3/09 vs. St. Louis. Marleau is the only Shark to record 7 shots on net in a single period on the road.
Those are some of the interesting things that have happened recently. Looking ahead, we have a couple of other milestones on the horizon:
- Joe Thornton is one point away from becoming the second player in Sharks history to score 700 points in a San Jose uniform. With one assist at Nashville, the captain has 167-532-699 while wearing Teal, and his next point will put him in an exclusive club with Marleau, who has 893 points in his Sharks career.
- Marleau will also play in his 1,199th game in St. Louis on Tuesday, and is scheduled to reach his milestone 1,200th game in Los Angeles on Thursday.
- Continuing on the milestone horizon, Logan Couture has 99 career goals, 98 career assists, and 197 career points. Since scoring his last goal into an empty net at Toronto on December 3rd, Logan has played in 6 games, had 2 assists, and has put 28 shots on goal in those contests. As of this writing, he's second among NHL forwards with 40 blocked shots, and as my broadcast partner Jamie Baker has pointed out, he's playing "ice bag hockey." The milestones will come soon for Couture.
- With his recent forays at opposing goaltenders, Couture is 7th in the NHL with 126 shots, and Marleau is right behind in 8th with 124.
F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, "And so, we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." That classic phrase sounds fitting for this challenging portion of the NHL season.

Sourced: Toronto's best wood-fired secret
Bakers at Woodlot Restaurant knead fresh, daily loaves by hand and baked in a wood-fired oven.
|Report an Error
|Link to video
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
With a quick push, about 10 hot, dark loaves topple off the wooden paddle and onto a cooling rack.
"If you listen carefully," baker Jeremy Dennis says, "you can hear them crackle."
As the crusts settle in the breezy summer air, they crack against the creamy inner crumb, adding one more note to the sensory chorus of Woodlot Restaurant's freshly baked bread. Make that freshly baked organic, red fife, sourdough, multi-grain bread.
That unique sound is one reason Woodlot's seasoned baker Jeff Connell, 58, doesn't mind starting work at midnights a few days a week. With Dennis's help, he mixes and kneads in the night's solitude.
They work quietly, swiftly. Together, they make hundreds of loaves a week. All by hand. Woodlot doesn't have an industrial mixer.
"That's not the way here," Connell says. The ethos at the warm, high-ceilinged restaurant, which opened about four years ago and remains secreted on Palmerston Ave., just south of the bustling College Street strip, is all about doing things the slow-cooked, handmade way.
Acclaimed for rustic dishes, such as light-as-air russet potato gnocchi and "ember grilled" hen-o-the-woods mushrooms, Woodlot is also something of a bakery.
A few nights a week, Connell supplies the bread for dinner services. On other nights, another baker does the same. But, when most of the loaves are pulled from the wood-burning oven, an artistically tiled behemoth that lives along the restaurant's eastern wall, they're up for grabs.
Customers, as if lured by the savoury fragrance, begin trickling in around 9 a.m. By the time a small sandwich board appears out front around noon, many of the loaves have already been sold.
Every day brings an assortment of loaves. But they're all crafted from the same basic ingredients: whole grain flours, yeast and water. To various batches Connell adds grains, such as spelt, rye, buckwheat, quinoa, millet, amaranth; seeds, including pumpkin and flax and flakes, such as oat. Most loaves cost $5. Sometimes, the bakers fire up a dense, rye loaf that rises in butter-slicked earthenware ($10 for a whole bread, $5 for half the loaf).
Connell's bread is modeled after the loaves he grabbed daily in New York City where he lived and worked as a marketing executive until about eight years ago. He loved the crusty, multigrain Poilane bread, flown in daily from France.
When he returned to Ontario several years ago, he couldn't find a suitable daily loaf.
Sadly, Poilane bread isn't readily available in Ontario. The Paris-based bread has been sold in select stores over the years and will ship to Canada — but for a hefty price. It isn't a grab 'n' go item.
So Connell decided to try his hand at baking. He spent four years at St. John's Bakery in the city's east end and met Woodlot's owner while selling his wares at a local farmer's market. They hit it off for love of a good, crusty bread.
"Every neighbourhood should have a bakery where people get their bread every day," Connell says.
Savoury French Toast
Like every self-respecting Canadian, Woodlot Restaurant Baker Jeff Connell likes to drown his homemade French toast in maple syrup. That is, unless he's frying up a more savoury version with chopped thyme, tarragon, rosemary and crumbled bacon.
In Woodlot fashion, Connell's version is simple, rustic and earthy. Toss in whatever moves you, he says — or, whatever you have on hand. Woodlot's kitchen is stocked with caramelized onions, so Connell adds a spoonful to the egg mixture to creamy results. Use day old — or older —bread. Cut it thick. If you're so inclined, smother it in maple syrup!
3 large eggs, whisked
3 slices bacon, cooked, crumbled
1 tbsp(15 mL) each: chopped tarragon, chopped rosemary, chopped chives
Pinch each: salt, pepper
Four, 1-inch (2.5-cm) thick slices multigrain bread (such as Woodlot Restaurant's red fife)
Butter for frying
In medium bowl, combine eggs, bacon, tarragon, rosemary, chives, salt and pepper. Add bread slices. Soak 10 minutes, turning once.
In large frying pan over high heat, melt butter. Add bread slices, working in batches. Fry each piece 30 to 60 seconds per side until browned and crisped.
Makes 4 slices.

- Portland Business Journal staff
(Page 3 of 12)
Moyer recruited Sturgeon, 32, away from her graduate studies at Willamette University to lead his real estate management firm.
Sturgeon completed the business portion of her joint J.D.-MBA, but put the law degree on hold as her calendar filled with business and later family duties. In addition to running the firm's daily operations, she and husband Tony have two small sons.
TMT is among Portland's largest real estate firms, with a portfolio of more than 8 million square feet. Its downtown holdings include 1000 Broadway, Fox Tower and a smattering of retail and industrial sites, all managed by Sturgeon's small team in a partial floor office at Fox.
Park Avenue West will continue to consume her time in 2011. This past year, TMT heavily recruited the Portland Development Commission as a potential tenant in a bid to restart construction. The bid failed when the city's economic development arm opted to stay in its Old Town quarters.
But TMT, which owns the construction site debt-free, continues to hunt for the right deal to restart the project.

Emily Powell may be young: She's 31. She may be new to the president's role at Portland's Powell's Books: She's been in the top job only six months.
Don't be deceived: Powell definitely knows what she's doing.
Powell is the daughter of Michael Powell, who grew the iconic, independent bookstore into its national status after purchasing it from his father in 1981.
Emily has been around the store since she was a small child. When a customer asked 8-year-old Emily if she was going to grow up to be a cashier, Emily replied, "I'm going to own this place one day."

This Week: Kernel Mode-Setting, Wayland
Published on 13 September 2009 05:27 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
2 Comments
This week at Phoronix a lot of the stores pertained to
kernel mode-setting
with it being that time of the quarter where the kernel merge window is about to open so it's time to push forth new features and other new code into the Linux kernel. The
Linux 2.6.31 kernel
was released this week and thus the focus is now turning to the
Linux 2.6.32 kernel
that will make it out later this year.
We first learned this week that
ATI R600/700 kernel mode-setting
would be merged into the Linux kernel along with the DRM components for providing R600/700 3D support and other new kernel features for ATI Radeon hardware. We also learned of the initial structure for
ATI KMS power management support
. ATI wasn't the only driver with improving KMS support this week but
Intel's stack continues to mature too
There's also
new and updated drivers for Linux 2.6.32
outside of the 3D graphics arena. Since yesterday there has also been a heated discussion over
the importance of the Wayland Display Server
Outside of the mode-setting world but still with Linux graphics, work on
Mesa 7.7 is underway
with new OpenGL extensions and other work hitting the master branch of Mesa Git Master. This week also encountered
a new bug-fix ATI DDX driver release
that brings a few fixes along with X.Org 7.5 compatibility. For those wanting to try out the latest Linux graphics bits, there is a
Fedora graphics LiveCD
for testing that was spun for the ATI / Nouveau / Intel test days this week for the forthcoming release of Fedora 12.
While there was the xf86-video-ati driver update, AMD released
Catalyst 9.9 for Linux
that unfortunately just brought bug-fixes and still no end-user support for
. AMD also demoed a
24 monitor setup on Linux
that uses their new Eyefinity technology and will work with their forthcoming ATI Radeon HD 5800 series (RV880) graphics cards and a Catalyst driver release due out later this year or next.
With all of the work that Red Hat's Peter Hutterer has been putting into X.Org 7.5 / X Server 1.7, we
gave him a shout out
with the various roles he's taking care of to benefit the X.Org community. One of the items Peter took care of this week was creating a
X.Org 7.5 Super Module
that is a Git repository containing all of the X.Org 7.5 packages.
On the gaming side of things, we provided
an update on Unigine's Linux game
, which sadly is not in a good state at the moment (it's delayed). For those living on the bleeding edge of Linux desktops, the
release candidate
for GNOME 2.28 was released.
On the hardware side of Phoronix the embargo lifted on Intel's Lynnfield CPUs and the P55 Chipset, which we were fortunate to have early access too. Unfortunately, there are a few performance problems on Linux and some other quirks. We provided an overview of the
Intel P55 Chipset
Intel Core i5 750 / Core i7 870 benchmarks
from Ubuntu 9.10.
This coming week your's truly will be
leaving for Oktoberfest
in Munich, Germany, so there may be fewer news items, but in my absence there are planned BFS scheduler benchmarks, Linux 2.6.31 KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) benchmarks, a 802.11g USB 2.0 WiFi adapter review, a look at the new home / SWAP encryption implementation in Ubuntu 9.10, and some other articles.
For anyone going to Oktoberfest, you can
earn a one-year subscription to Phoronix Premium
. Those not attending this German beer, music, food festival can

MONTREAL -- Montreal Impact scoring star Marco Di Vaio says he may retire at the end of the season.
The 37-year-old striker said Wednesday that he wants to play another season in Montreal, but that family concerns may cause him to hang up his boots. He said his wife and two children have returned to Italy and he wants to be with them.
"If my family was here it would be different, I'd play another year for sure," he said.
He recently took a brief trip to Italy to attend to an illness in his family.
Reports in Italy said Di Vaio is expected to join his former club Bologna in an executive job after the Major League Soccer season.
The Rome native leads MLS with 17 goals. He was named player of the week for his two goals in a 4-2 victory at New England on Saturday.
Di Vaio, who earns a guaranteed $1.9 million, joined Montreal as its first designated player last season. He has an option to return in 2014.
Luke, Jason & KJ look ahead to the final week of the MLS season, plus break down what went wrong at Toronto FC this year and if the club can recover.

Spa Esprit Group's Skinny Pizza offers the one‑of‑a‑kind Skinny Pizza. The pizza is a far cry from the doughy or thin‑crusted pizzas you often get. Instead, it's light as air, and super crispy and crackly. It comes with fun, fresh and tasty toppings (vegetarian flavors included). Best thing: You can eat a few slices before you feel stuffed because it's so light. We like the yummy chorizo almond, curry chicken babaganoush, squid ink and wild mushroom truffle. Plus, there are also soups, desserts, beer and wine.

I am working with NHHFA VOM
I am open to most anything .
I enjoy rural life but if the city limits
have properties with a seller
willing to work with me then
I will consider any offers that
have good potential for me/.
I am finishing a second degree
at UNH durham. I will consider
most areas of NH and just commute for this last
My profile is on my website
Ken L.
If you ever find a seller that will work with me for a modest priced home.......rural or city limits Please do keep me in mind..I am middle aged finishing a second college degree after having to go on disability and retraining for a new line of work. I am working with NHHFA and they can be picky so I need someone that understands their methods.
Maybe just let any brokers know I am willing to work with a seller if they are willing to make it work for the NHHFA program.
Thanks again

As a social services/family services professional, you have a strong sense of where you want to live and I applaud you for that. I have sold many homes in the Raymond area and my customers were mostly choosing houses not towns based on what their family needs were and what their money would buy. Usually money goes a little farther in Raymond, so you can buy a larger/nicer/newer home there for the same money as an smaller/plainer/older home would cost in one of the more seacoast towns.
But that doesn't solve your problem. Right now you are also faced with "summer rentals" which will begin on or about Memorial Day and are always expensive. You might find a home in the Durham area when the University lets out and the students leave for the summer. That will occur in only another month. If you could stay where you are or find a roommate for the summer, you will be able to find a beach area winter rental--which will be quite inexpensive, but will only be a 8-9 month solution.
One thing I said in my earliest post is that generally rentals don't find their way into the MLS. (Some do, but most don't.) This is a function of landlords not wanting to pay a Realtor's commission. But rentals are available if you know where to look. I would try Craig's List, also University housing at UNH or other colleges, often they have a list of local landlords which they hand out free as a service to the students. (You might find exactly what you want at White Pines College in Chester) Or you could both read and put flyers up on community bulletin boards--I always had good luck with bulletin boards in laundamats.
Anyway, wish I could help some more.
Good luck,
Dane Hahn
I saw a amherst nh home for 99,000 on 12 acres but it is a 1972 mobile home and too old for a mortgage with NHHFA 1978 is the cut off for mobile home mort. Unless the owner would finance?
ps Raymond nh is a mess. the police are like nazi if you have MA plates or just an out of towner so it seems, and the town school system is ranked last in the state, they lost their cert.\.....High drug traffic and one of the highest rates of domestic violence in the state per capita (probably related to the high alcohol abuse).
I work in social services FamilyservicesNH.com and that town is brought up as an example more often then not for its more negative aspects....
There are not many homes available in the price range you describe--in the MLS. Certainly none that fall into the romantic notion of a cottage with some farm land. I did search Rockingham and Merrimack Counties, but only came up with one home (a few apartments/condos) which is in Raymond and can be found at the following URL:
Good Luck,
Dane Hahn

Wikipaella aims to help 'police' paella around the world. Snails and artichoke are all right, but chorizo is a no-no. - Filepic
Valencian trio hopes their Wikipaella site will bring traditional recipes to masses and rescue paella from further bastardisation.
HORRIFIED by chefs making paella with ingredients including poached eggs and avocados, three men from Spain's Valencian region have banded together to fight what they call the increasing "prostitution" of one of the country's most emblematic dishes.
Wikipaella aims to help "police" paella around the world, said co-founder Guillermo Navarro. "It's a dish that's really trendy these days. And there's lots of people taking advantage of it and selling what they call authentic, traditional or Spanish paella."
Time spent in Britain and the US gave Navarro a first-hand experience of how a dish treasured by his family for generations was losing its identity. "It's like no, amigo, no," he said, recalling some of the paellas he had eaten outside of Spain.
Particularly egregious to him was the slew of British chefs who add chorizo to their recipes. "If Jamie Oliver wants to make his own version of paella, well that's good," Navarro said. "But don't present as something authentic or traditional, because it's not. Imagine if we said that we were making typical British fish and chips and we were putting oranges in it?"
Navarro had thought that it was just a matter of misinformation outside of Spain. But the problem persisted when he moved to Madrid. "In Madrid, 90% of the paellas that you eat can't be compared to real paella."
It was from this frustration – shared by many from Spain's Valencian region – that Wikipaella was born. "It's a citizen's response to this problem," said Navarro. "They're pulling the wool over our eyes, we're going to try and tell the people this."
The site aims to be a portal into the world of authentic paella and other traditional rice dishes of the region; whether through certifying restaurants that serve the real deal, sharing recipes or answering the public's questions.
One of Wikipaella's first steps was to create a definitive list of what can be allowed in an authentic Valencian paella, some feat considering that each community in the region has their own take on the rice dish. After analysis of 170 traditional recipes, it was decided: yes to ingredients ranging from snails to rabbit and artichokes; but no to everything else – especially the artificial food colouring often used instead of saffron.
The site will be a place where paella fans – Spaniards and foreigners alike – can come together and share their thoughts on what makes the dish authentic, said Navarro. He is hoping to have the English version of the site up and running by Feb 28. "Our objective is to have the majority of people know what an authentic paella from our region is," he said. "We want it to be like pizza – where people can add in whatever ingredients they want, but that they know what a traditional pizza is."
His team is not alone in taking paella seriously. In Benidorm, the Saint Anthony Catholic University recently announced it would be launching what it said was the world's first Masters in rice and paella dishes of the Mediterranean. – Guardian News & Media

Best news of the day? Jonas Hiller says he expects to be ready for training camp
Aug 16, 2011, 3:04 PM EDT
All 30 NHL teams will deal with any number of variables going into the 2011-12 season, but few face the kind of high-risk toss-up that the Anaheim Ducks must contemplate with their franchise goalie Jonas Hiller. When healthy, Hiller cleans up a lot of mistakes for a shaky Ducks defense, but vertigo issues prematurely ended his 10-11 season and put his future in serious doubt.
Judging by the fact that he accepted a measly tryout offer with the Chicago Blackhawks, it's reasonable to think that the Ducks could have signed Ray Emery to another two-way contract in case Hiller's problems persist. They opted against that, though, sticking with Hiller and expensive backup Dan Ellis going into next season.
That seemed like a dubious risk to take, but maybe the Ducks know that he's on the right track. Puck Daddy's Greg Wyshynski provided a translated interview that provides optimism straight from Hiller himself, which must be a breath of fresh air for Ducks fans. (Here's video of the interview, if you're among the few who don't need the translation.)
Reporter (starts at the 00:15 mark): Seven months have passed since the bitter diagnosis. A hard time with new tasks.
Jonas Hiller (00:23): "What I can say today is that, yes, today I am feeling much better than a month ago. This I can say. But I can't say that I feel much better than yesterday. There are like too small periods to measure. And that's certainly not been easy for me, somehow, this change. I'm accustomed to getting better every day, [someone] who sets myself new goals on a daily basis. I had to give myself so much time to progress. This was a difficult and especially depressing time."
Reporter (02:47): In a month, training camp will start overseas. Only then will Jonas Hiller have certainty. But one thing is clear already: He's doing much better.
Hiller (02:58): "Of course I know I still have to get some ice-training and I have to work hard towards it. But that is something that you do every year. And for that I am here in Switzerland. This is what I'm working towards. And then, I believe, that I'm going to be ready come training camp and the season. And the All-Star game is certainly a goal again."
It sounds like Hiller's still going through a recovery process of sorts – or at least making sure his situation is stable by going through typical summer workouts – but it would be fantastic news for the Ducks if he returns to his underrated form next season. Hiller received a well-deserved All-Star selection last season, but it would be that much more impressive (and inspiring) if he did it again next season.
The Ducks would be happy to have him back either way.

US Fed orders Royal Bancshares dividend halt
WASHINGTON, March 25
WASHINGTON, March 25 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve said on Thursday it ordered Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania Inc (RBPAA.O), the parent of Royal Bank America and Royal Asian Bank, to halt payment of dividends.
The Fed said the actions were part of a written agreement between Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania Inc and the Federal Reserve of Philadelphia.
The bank will also have 60 days to submit a plan to improve its capital base, taking into account allowances for loan and lease losses, concentration of credit, and projected retained earnings, the Fed said.
Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania is based in Narberth, Pennsylvania. (Reporting by Nancy Waitz, Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)

Great Bag!
Linda from Lawrenceville, GA– Verified Buyer
I traveled with this as a carry-on for my 15 Macbook Pro, iPad, chargers, hardback book, newspapers, etc. The handles, extendable handles, wheels, zippers, exterior, and interior are just want I needed. Looks nice, is sturdy, and is functional.
Love my new bag!
Maria from Phoenix, Arizona– Verified Buyer
This bag is very sharp with a professional appeal. The flap in the front is magnetic, so nothing falls out. I wish the bag did not have so many dividers in the two main pockets because of the thick textbooks I carry around. However, I love the bag and refused to return it.
Beautiful and functional
Theresa Mayser from Mansfield, TX– Verified Buyer
Gorgeous red leather with plenty of room. Would highly recommend to the ladies that are tired of the old, boring, manly roll arounds!
Teri from Culver City, CA– Verified Buyer
Love the Tote!

Beautiful and Functional
Garden Angel from Chicago, IL
It's a very stylish commuter bag. I love it especially because it's not a travel bag, it has a slightly smaller profile. I'm very happy with it.
love this bag!
sunshine on a cloudy day from hayward, ca
I use this for work and I love it. Everyone has a black bag but i wanted to stand out and of course not get my bag mix up with the rest when we have large meeting...I get at least 2 complements a day about the bag.
This bag is great!
Valued Customer from Dallas, TX– Verified Buyer
A lot of organization in a very classy bag. Plenty of room for business organization, and the placement of the computer section is in the middle of the case so it is protected. I get a lot of compliments.
Tranist Tote
mackj from Toronto, On
The leather is very nice and I like the way the handle is hidden when it is not in use. It is good so far but I think the handle could be a little more robust.
Pull handle broke within a month
annika39 from Bristol, CT
Don't buy this product if you plan to use it on a daily basis. The rolling handle broke within a month. It is not sturdy.

M'sian shoe-maker Jimmy Choo mulls London listing
Publication Date : 19-03-2014
Luxury shoe maker Jimmy Choo Ltd – which can trace its roots back to Malaysian couture designer Jimmy Choo – is reportedly considering a listing on the London Stock Exchange.
According to Bloomberg, an initial public offering (IPO) for the high-fashion house is being considered by its current ultimate owner Labelux Group to raise funds to finance the brand's expansion, particularly in Asia, where sales are growing rapidly.
Jimmy Choo was co-founded by Choo and former Vogue editor Tamara Mellon in 1996.
However, Choo sold out of his namesake label after disposing of his entire 50% stake in the company for a reported £10mil in 2001. Choo attempted to buy back Jimmy Choo in 2011 but was unsuccessful.
Over the past decade, Jimmy Choo had changed hands several times until Labelux, a Swiss-based private luxury goods group, bought the brand for £525 million (US$871 million) in 2011.
Citing sources close to the company, Bloomberg said Labelux had recently held preliminary talks with bankers about the possible sale of its stake in Jimmy Choo via an IPO, with plans to use the proceeds from the flotation to finance the brand's expansion in Asia.
The report stated that Labelux would retain a majority stake in the luxury shoemaker after the potential corporate exercise, which could value the entire business at about £1 billion ($1.6 billion).
Jimmy Choo currently boasts a network of more than 150 outlets in 32 countries.
