TUPELO – A representative of a company that helps schools and other groups obtain copyright permissions testified on Tuesday that Calvin Ellis called him in late September about a copyright problem he was having.
Mark Greenburg of Tresona Multimedia was one of two witnesses who testified on the second day of Ellis' hearing, an appeal of his Oct. 28 dismissal as Tupelo High School choral director. That hearing resumes today at 9 a.m. at the Hancock Leadership Center.
Greenburg said Ellis told him that he needed to get copyright permission for the songs in the Wave Connection show choir's October performance, which already had been arranged and choreographed.
Greenburg, whose company serves as a bridge between publishers and those seeking to receive copyright permissions, said he told Ellis that he would try to get the rights Ellis needed but warned him that it would be difficult in a short period of time.
In the meantime, Greenburg recommended that Ellis develop a backup plan, and he sent Ellis a list of more than 3,200 pre-cleared songs, whose rights could be quickly obtained, as possible replacements.
Greenburg said that Ellis asked him in an email what the penalty would be if his show choir performed a song without gaining copyright permission. Greenburg said that this question concerned him and that he warned Ellis that it would be a felony and was something he should not do. Ellis eventually canceled that October show when he could not get the needed rights.
Greenburg, who was issued a subpoena by the school district's attorneys, testified via online video from Phoenix. Shortly before that, Tupelo Interim Superintendent David Meadows completed his testimony, after spending about 10 hours on the stand over the hearing's first two days.
Ellis' attorney, David Butts, asked Meadows about two meetings he had with Ellis between the time Ellis was placed on administrative leave on Oct. 6 and when he was fired. Butts asked Meadows whether the superintendent had ever asked Ellis directly about the copyright charges, or any of the district's other charges, at any time prior to Ellis' dismissal.
Meadows said he had not but Ellis was free to talk to him about them at any time. Butts said Ellis did not know what charges he was facing at that time.
Butts also asked Meadows several questions about the fact that Ellis' supplement and job description didn't explicitly outline the duties covered by his supplement.
One of the charges against Ellis is that he was paid by the booster club for duties that were also covered by his supplement.
Meadows said the job description also requires duties assigned by the superintendent or designee.

insertion in printed quotation to call attention to error in the original; Latin, literally "so, thus, in this way," related to or emphatic of si "if," from PIE root *so- "this, that" (cf. Old English sio "she"). Used regularly in English articles from 1876, perhaps by influence of similar use in French (1872).
[I]t amounts to Yes, he did say that, or Yes, I do mean that, in spite of your natural doubts. It should be used only when doubt is natural; but reviewers & controversialists are tempted to pretend that it is, because (sic) provides them with a neat & compendious form of sneer. [Fowler]Sic passim is "generally so throughout."
"to set upon, attack;" see sick (v.).
A Latin word for "thus," used to indicate that an apparent error is part of quoted material and not an editorial mistake: "The learned geographer asserts that 'the capital of the United States is Washingtown [sic].'"

View Seasonal School Listing ›
The Seasonal Schools in Signal Processing (S3P) Program was established in 2010 specifically for graduate students, early stage researchers and practitioners with organized opportunities to build communities with professors and established practitioners and engage in hands-on tutorials in signal processing.
Seasonal Schools are typically either summer or winter schools with a primary objective in membership development for students interested in signal processing. Since students are the future of the Society, it is essential to provide special membership development opportunities for young members.
Winter schools are held between 1 October through 31 March, while Summer Schools are held 1 April through 30 September. A call for proposals will be sent to all SPS members and posted to the SPS website and social media channels.
Current, active call for proposals and important due dates can be found on the Call for Proposals page.

good as they say
Pros: precise, very neutral sound
Cons: again, very natural sound
got my pair about 2 weeks ago. Gave them a small overhaul (cleaned them), and been listening to these since. They are VERY precise, which might not be everyones taste. This might also be their only flaw, because not many people will like them for that. Build quality is very nice, standard for top of the range AKGs. They had maintenance in mind when designing and building them.

The Roots of Patriotism
But when you get right down to it, are a strong economy, a law-abiding citizenry, and a bright and glowing future all it takes to make a country? Are these ideals worth fighting for, even worth dying for? Are these even ideals at all? To be sure, these are good things to which we must strive, but if that is all there is, then there's no fight that's needed. One only needs to line up for a ticket and a visa for greener pastures -- patriots need not apply. That largely has been our country's default solution of late: run, run away.
If abandonment comes all too easily, it's because the idea of a country is so hard to visualize, much less internalize. A country, after all, is nothing more than a political fiction; we might profess our love for it, but what is it exactly? Is it merely the geography bounded by imaginary lines? Is it ancestral heritage? Is it history? Is it the people?
It's hard to be inspired by mere latitudes and longitudes on a map; a map, after all, is merely an abstraction. Ancestral heritage edifies only those on the fortunate side of an ethnographic and historical accident; more often than not it devolves into a narrow xenophobia. At best it disenfranchises; at worst, it leads to ethnic genocide.
History? History is the end result of a love of country, rather than its cause. True history is experienced, passed on, and imbibed, rather than force fed through the filter of prevalent political ideas.
Is it the people, then? In our lips and in our minds, we have made our people our ultimate virtue, what with our protestations of devotion to our "kapwa-tao" and "kapwa-Pilipino"; but not so in our hearts and in our deeds, not always, at any rate. Divided as we are along class lines, we often treat each other execrably, whether in the Philippines or out of it.
So what is a country? A country, I believe, begins with a tangible experience -- a "what-is." That "what-is" finds its beginnings in the land: not the land demarcated in maps, but the very land you grew up in, the land of your childhood, whose soil is beneath your feet, whose fragrance is on your nose, whose sounds are in your ears, whose blemishes you embrace. Patriotism can only take root in this sacred connection, so long as it is not traded cheaply for transitory shekels.
It is through this land that one finds a connection with people who share the same experience. It is in this that one finds one's heritage -- not as some ethnographic accident that divides, but in a shared experience that unites. And out of this union in love of country comes history.
From the experience of the "what-is", the imagination must process it into a "what-it-will-be." If one truly loves, one does not love blindly but with open eyes. The eyes should see the defects, but the imagination should see the transformation.
For all their faults and infighting, our founding fathers -- Rizal, Bonifacio, Aguinaldo, Mabini, Paterno, et al. -- had this strong sense of "what-it-will-be." Where else does a revolution spring from? For all the perceived failures of their revolution, this at least is what they bought us: the opportunity to imagine freely and to act freely for our own "what-it-will-bes" from our "what-is."
If we do not, then the failure is really ours.

Phiippines has a unique problem as a "country" or "nation". Prior to the Spanish colonization, the area was not united.The boundaries of the country are what they are because this was the area held by the Spanish. The indigenous people of Luzon were very different from those of Cebu or Mindanao.Even today, there isn't a common "home" language between the various groups that make up the country.Tagalog doesn't count. Most of the people I know that live in the Visayas (for example) don't speak Tagalog at home.A good many even have a negative attitude about Tagalog because it was chosen as the national language over their own.
Other than sharing a common history as a Spanish colony and a shared religious belief many areas in Philippines have little in common.Indeed, Bob. That's the problem that many of our early nationalist thinkers were struggling with. Mabini wanted a Malayan confederation that extended far beyond the archipelago itself. It was partly a race question.
On the other hand, there are many commonalities among Filipinos of the various regions, in outlook, in linguistic syntax. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able go beyond these accidents to find our core.
Our brand of nationalism has also done significant damage. When we 'threw out' the Spanish, we also erased almost 300 years of our own history. More's the pity.

MOSCOW (AP) - The head of the Russian parliament's foreign affairs committee says Edward Snowden has accepted Venezuela's offer of political asylum.
Alexei Pushkov made the statement on his Twitter account Tuesday. The message did not clarify how he learned of Snowden's purported acceptance, but Pushkov has acted as an unofficial point-man for the Kremlin on the Snowden affair.
Snowden, who revealed details of a U.S. intelligence program to monitor Internet activity, came to Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport on June 23 and was believed to be headed for Cuba. But he did not board that flight and has not been seen since. He is widely believed to be still in the airport's transit zone.

firstname.lastname@example.com: Help save the Andean mountain cat from going extinct.
Andean Mountain Cat (Leopardus Jacobita)
The Andean Mountain Cat is the most endangered small wild cat of America. The body length ranges from 57 to 64 centimeters, the tail length is 41 to 48 cm, the shoulder height is about 36 cm and the body weight is 5.5 kilograms. Fewer than 2500 individuals are thought to exist. This cat is one of about two dozen small wild cat species found around the world. Unlike their larger cousins, such as lions and tigers, with millions of dollars dedicated to conservation efforts, small wild cats like the Andean Mountain Cat have not found a place in the hearts of the public, and conservation efforts exist on budgets in the thousands. The Andean Mountain Cat's preferred high-elevation montane habitat is fragmented by deep valleys, and its distribution is likely to be further localized by the patchy nature of colonies of its preferred prey, mountain viscachas. The total effective population size could be below 2,500 mature individuals, with a declining trend due to loss of prey base and habitat, as well as to persecution and hunting for traditional ceremonial purposes, and no subpopulation having an effective population size larger than 250 mature individuals. While the Andean Mountain Cat's main prey likely is the mountain viscacha, it is also probable that mountain chinchillas were previously important prey of the Andean Mountain Cat, before their populations were drastically reduced due to hunting for the fur trade. Since it lives only in the high mountains, human-inhabited valleys act as barriers, fragmenting the population, meaning that even low levels of poaching could be devastating. It is often killed in Chile and Bolivia because of local superstition.

You already know it's water-based, it's odor-free and has no formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalates or FD& C colors. But let's take that a step further. Without getting too technical, let's explore the fundamental differences between solvent-based and water-based systems. Solvent- based polishes are simple solutions of nitrocellulose resins in strong solvents. Nitrocellulose is used because it forms a very hard film easily as the solvents evaporate from the base. These harsh, bad-smelling solvents, are then also used to remove the polish by dissolving the film. By contrast, water-based polish uses an emulsion resin in the form of billions of very small particles suspended in water. As the water evaporates, the particles touch each other and form a hard film which is no longer soluble in water. At first, it may seem that these systems are similar, the only difference being the carrier base. But they are in fact as different as night and day. One cures by reversible solvent evaporation, the other by creating a tightly knit film. One is easily dissolved, the other not so easily. Several states are beginning to regulate VOCs (volatile organic compounds) emitted by nail polishes and nail polish removers. WaterColors Nail Enamel has very low VOCs.
Product Appearance You'll notice the Clear Base/ Top Coat polish actually appears milky white in the bottle. The milkiness disappears upon drying to form a clear coat. Sometimes minor settling occurs in some colors, and you may notice a light ring of color at the top of the bottle, or some sparkle floating to the bottom. Honeybee Gardens has included shaker beads inside, so a light shake of the polish easily re-disperses the pigment.
Nail Preparation Solvent-based polishes can strip healthy nails of naturally produced oils. Since Honeybee Gardens' polish does not contain these solvents, the oils remain on the nail. Wash and dry hands thoroughly before applying polish. Those with very dry skin may wish to apply a cuticle oil to nails first before applying polish to help hydrate the nail. Make sure the oil is absorbed into the nail before polishing.
Dry time Dries to a tack-free state nearly as fast as regular polish. Two thin coats will dry faster than one thick. Cold hands, low temperatures and high humidity can prolong drying time. Water resistant in about 15 minutes. Able to withstand other chemicals (shampooing, doing dishes) after about an hour. For best results, polish nails at the end of the day so they have overnight to cure properly.:" ":
Scratch Resistance Unlike solvent-based polishes which reach their maximum hardness in about 40 minutes, WaterColors Nail Enamel must be given time to create a tough film. About 75% of the hardness is achieved very quickly, but it needs 4-6 hours to achieve maximum hardness. The more time you give it to cure properly, the longer it will wear. You may choose to apply it at night when the day's activities are done. However, because the film is quite thin, worn areas at the tips or scratches can be easily touched up to create a freshly-applied appearance.

Byrd, who had been disabled by a stroke since 2004, was a "500" entrant from 1985 until 2001, having aligned himself with a variety of other entrants, including Leader Card, Inc., A.J. Foyt, Ron Hemelgarn, Dick Simon, Alex Morales, the Machinists Union, Clayton Cunningham, Dennis McCormack and Team Xtreme.
Strongly associated for many years with sponsorship of cars at the Indianapolis Speedrome short track, located on the east side of the city, Byrd even sponsored NASCAR champion Darrell Waltrip at one point. He developed a very close friendship and partnership with Rich Vogler, which parlayed into several USAC Midget car titles and numerous wins, eventually taking the pair to the Indianapolis 500.
The charismatic Byrd, with his infectious laugh, never was rewarded with an Indianapolis 500 victory. But he saw several of his drivers land top-10 finishes, including Gordon Johncock (sixth in 1991), Scott Brayton (sixth in '93), Vogler (eighth in '89), Stan Fox (eighth in '91) and John Andretti (10th in '94).
In 1996, Luyendyk's original front-row qualifying run was disallowed when his car failed to meet the minimum weight requirement in a post-qualification technical inspection, but Luyendyk stormed back the following day to obliterate the one- and four-lap qualifying records. This being the final year for turbocharged engines, Luyendyk's marks with the Tim Wardrop-prepared Byrd/Fred Treadway-entered Jonathan Byrd's Cafeteria/Bryant Heating and Cooling Reynard/Cosworth were 236.986 mph for the four-lap run and an amazing 237.498 mph for the fastest single lap.
Those records still stand.
Byrd is fondly remembered by the "500" fraternity for the many months of May in which he would set up a huge marquee near the garage area and permit literally hundreds of race personal and media per day the opportunity to experience his magnificent cafeteria food.
While Byrd never won at Indianapolis, John Paul Jr. drove one of his cars to victory in the IndyCar Series race in September 1998 at Texas Motor Speedway.
Byrd was a successful businessman who operated Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises and then opened his Jonathan Byrd's cafeteria and banquet hall in Greenwood, Ind. He also operated several hotels and operated a business trading in rare books, ancient Bibles and theology books. He also was very active in founding and supporting Christian ministries.

I agree that Pete gets what he deserves. And so far he has gotten it. I also think it should continue while he is alive. However, unless they strike all his statistics from the books I think this is silly. To mention 4,256 hits. To mention other names that hold "significant" records. It really punishes the fans IMO.
Can you have it both ways? His name is on top of the list for hits in the Baseball Encyclopedia. His name graces many other lists in that same publication. His name and other items belonging to him have been on display in Cooperstown. Perhaps I do not get it, but it seems very hypocritical to me.

Beet Juice as Road Salt: Science That Makes Dwight Schrute and the Environment Happy
Available for logged-in reporters only
A record snowfall and cold winter has many towns running low on salt and using beet juice.
Beet juice? Why do they use it? It's simple science according to Dr. Jerry Kavouras, Chair and Associate Professor of Biology at Lewis University in Illinois.
Kavouras said beet juice lowers the freezing point of snow to as much as -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Salt becomes ineffective at 18 degrees Fahrenheit.
It also helps that there's no shortage of beet juice, a waste product that remains after the sugar is extracted from sugar beets. There's plenty of the waste product. According to Kavouras, sugar beets account for 20 percent of the world's sugar supply.

The Gentleman's Magazine; or Trader's Monthly Intelligencer: Being a Collection of all Matters of Information and Amusement: Compriz'd under the following Heads, viz. Publick Affairs, Foreign and Domestick, Births, Marriages, and Deaths of Eminent Persons, Preferments, Ecclesiastical and Civil. Prices of Goods, Grain and Stocks. Bankrupts declar'd and Books Publish'd. Pieces of Humour and Poetry. Disputes in Politicks and Learning. Remarkable Advertisements and Occurrences. Lists of the Civil and Military Establishment. And whatever is worth quoting from the Numerous Papers of News and Entertainment, British and Foreign; or shall be Communicated proper for Publication. With instructions in gardening, and the Fairs for February. By Sylvanus Urban of Aldermanbury, Gent. Prodesse et Declectare. Printed for A. Dodd without Temple-Bar. Price 6d.
Such was the description of the very first issue of The Gentleman's Magazine which appeared in the January of the year 1731. Its publisher and editor was one Edward Cave who had been variously employed as a printer and journalist after his expulsion from Rugby School for the theft of a chicken before acquiring his own printing works and deciding to launch his own journal and adopting the pseudonym of Sylvanus Urban.
Prior to this time no one had ever used the word 'magazine' to describe a periodical, and Cave was using 'magazine' in the original sense of a storehouse; his journal was intended to be the storehouse of all current matters of interest. Such was the success of his journal that Samuel Johnson was to note in his Dictionary of 1755 with reference to the term magazine that 'Of late this word has signified a miscellaneous pamphlet, from a periodical miscellany named the Gentleman's Magazine, by Edward Cave.'
It seems that Cave had been previously been operating something like a rudimentary press agency involved in the supply and exchange of stories between rural and urban newspapers, and so the Gentleman's Magazine was initially a monthly digest of items cribbed from newsletters and other journals. (The enforcement of copyright law was somewhat lax at the time.) However The Gentleman's Magazine soon began to include its own original material, including literary criticism, poetry, essays and even parliamentary reports. Such was the volume of contributions it proved necessary to publish an 'overflow' periodical, under the name of 'Miscellaneous Correspondence'.
In 1738 Samuel Johnson began his long association with journal and over the years contributed a number of essays, poems, biographies, prefaces and reviews. (Johnson was engaged in the task of identifying and enumerating his contributions to the magazine when he died leaving the task unfinished.) Indeed it was Johnson who was responsible for the journal's parliamentary reporting although, thanks to the then prohibition on such they were presented in a semi-fictional form under the title of 'Debates in the Senate of Magna Lilliputia'. Voltaire was much impressed and concluded "that the eloquence of ancient Greece and Rome was revived in the British senate". However the plain truth was that the reports were as fictional as the 'Senate of Lilliputia' and were largely conjured out of Johnson's imagination; not that this has prevented them since being cited as authentic 'historical' sources.
It was largely due to Johnson's contribution and Edward Cave's success in building a successful regional distribution network that the magazine built up a significant readership throughout the country, and by 1741 Johnson could claim that "the Gentleman's Magazine is read as far as the English Language extends, and we see it reprinted from several Presses in Great Britain, Ireland, and the Plantations."
After his death in 1754 Edward Cave was succeeded as editor by David Henry, but the journal perhaps experienced its heyday under John Nichols who was its editor and publisher from 1797 until his death in 1826. Thereafter improvements in communication, particularly the creation of a national railway system in the mid to late 19th century, permitted the London newspapers to develop a national distribution network of their own and their availability soon undermined the raison-de-etre of the journal. The style and content changed with the passing of John Nichols, and the journal went through a number of different owners, each of whom made an effort to recreate the original success of the magazine. But sales dwindled and the Gentleman's Magazine eventually came to end in 1914.
Neverthless during the the first century of its publication it was the leading journal of its age, containing details of the latest scientific advances and discoveries, poetry, politics, debates on issues of the day and news of important events such as the Lisbon Earthquake of 1755, the Gordon Riots, the Peterloo Massacre of 1819, and the execution of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Much of provincial England saw the world through the eyes of The Gentleman's Magazine and the journal thus had a profound infleuence on public attitudes and opinion. It therefore remains an important source of information about contemporary life from its inception in 1731 to the mid nineteenth century and has been described as "a gold mine of contemporary information concerning virtually every facet of British life and public interest" and an "unrivalled document of the cultural history of the era".
The Internet Library of Early Journals at http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/ilej/ allows access to facsimiles of Volumes 1 to 20 covering the years 1731 to 1750. There is a 16 Volume Set of The Gentleman's Magazine in the Age of Samuel Johnson, 1731-1745 (£1,400/$2,380) published by Pickering and Chatto and a more reasonably priced The Best of Gentleman's Magazine, 1731-1754 (£79.95/$129.95) published by the Edwin Mellen Press.

Butler was James T. Kirk's pet dog, a Great Dane, who he had at his house at least in 2284, and who died in 2286.
Upon being pulled into the extra-dimensional realm known as "the Nexus" in 2293, Kirk was able to experience a number of settings from his past, including being reunited with Butler. (Star Trek Generations)
In the script of Star Trek Generations, Captain Kirk's dog was named Jake. According to Ronald D. Moore in the audio commentary for the Generations DVD, William Shatner changed the name to Butler on the set, after a recently deceased dog of his own.

The Midwest's only Airstream-only RV resort.
If you're thinking about purchasing a park lot in the Minnesota Airstream Park, please contact us to schedule a visit. Our gate staff will be happy to give you a free visitor pass, and arrange a guided tour for you upon request.
The Airstream Park lots, Airstreams and Airstream Park lot/Airstream combos that are currently for sale are featured on this page. Please contact the sellers directly if you're interested. Click here for a Park Map.
Considering the high price of cabins and how overcrowded most public campgrounds are these days, owning a share of the Minnesota Airstream Park is an affordable, long-term investment that makes perfect sense.
When you own a lot of your very own at a private, Airstream-only resort, you'll no longer have to compete with others to book a spot at a public RV park weeks or months in advance. You won't have to resort to Plan B or Plan C when the most popular public RV parks and campgrounds are fully booked during holiday weekends. Nor will you lose another deposit if you change your plans.
Simply pull in to your own private park lot with a gazebo or screen house and start enjoying free park amenities such as a 9-hole, par 28 golf course, a heated swimming pool (including a pool house with soft-water showers and a Finnish sauna), horseshoes, bocce ball, tennis court, picnic areas, fire pits, a Clubhouse, organized activities and much more.
If you enjoy relaxing in the great outdoors with other Airstream enthusiasts near lakes, rivers, state parks, fishing spots, and hiking and biking trails, but also like being just a short drive away from bigger cities such as St. Cloud and the Twin Cities of Minneapolis / St. Paul and all the cultural, sports, entertainment, dining and shopping opportunities they have to offer, you owe it to yourself to visit the Minnesota Airstream Park.
Your investment in a park lot is a small price to pay for a beautiful, relaxing and idyllic setting to enjoy your Airstream with family and friends for many seasons to come.
The Airstream Park is closed for the winter season and will re-open in early to mid-April, weather dependent. Complete our contact form to request a reservation for 2017.

Use Your Tax Refund Wisely
Your Form 1040 is filed and you're now anxiously waiting for your tax refund. What's next?
Think About
Instead of spending your refund this year, consider contributing to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), setting up a college savings fund for a child or paying down credit card debt.
- First on your list of priorities might be to pay down any high-interest credit card debts. By paying only the minimum each month, you may be paying just the interest (or less) on the debt and little or nothing toward the principal. Paying down the debt can help free up additional money for other important financial needs.
- If credit card debt is not a problem, contribute to an existing IRA or establish a new one. Contact your registered State Farm® agent to learn about the maximum contribution you can make this year. If you're 50 years or older by Dec. 31, you may be able to add an additional $1,000 to the account. Making a tax-deductible contribution to a Traditional IRA is an option if you aren't participating in an employer-sponsored retirement plan or, if you are participating, your modified adjusted gross income falls within eligibility guidelines.
- A Roth IRA may be a more appropriate choice, depending on your eligibility. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax deductible. However, qualified distributions are received free from federal income tax.
- Your refund could also be used to contribute a Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) or 529 Plan for your child or grandchild. Contributions are not tax-deductible, but withdrawals to pay qualified educational expenses are free from federal income tax.
What's Important to Know
One thing to remember after you've decided what you want to do with this year's refund: the check you received is not a windfall, but the return of an interest-free loan you provided the government.Adjusting the amount withheld to reduce the amount of future refunds may be an appropriate decision. You may not get a refund in April, but you may have more from each paycheck to contribute to a Coverdell ESA, 529 plan, IRA or to pay down debt throughout the year.
Take some time to consider your options before making the down payment on that new car. The earlier you start saving for your future, the more you may have during your retirement.
Have Questions About Investing?
Talk with your State Farm agent who can help develop a plan to fit your goals. Simply click, call, or stop by an office in your neighborhood.

Trying out UEFI boot security on a recent Linux system
State of the Boot
Opinions differ on the UEFI boot security system, but one thing is certain: Secure Boot is here to stay. We thought it was time to ask, "How hard is it to boot a popular Linux distribution in a UEFI Secure Boot environment?"
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) swept into the headlines a couple years ago as a comprehensive replacement for the BIOS system used to boot millions of personal computers around the world. UEFI, which is essentially "a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware," [1] is a vast project, with features that affect device drivers, time services, and many other aspects of computer operation. However, the feature that has captured the most attention is a controversial component known as Secure Boot.
UEFI Secure Boot was billed as a feature for making sure an "unauthorized" operating system doesn't take over the system, and the Linux community quickly realized that "unauthorized" means something more like "non-Microsoft."
Since then, open source coders have developed some techniques for co-existing with UEFI Secure Boot, and some Linux projects have even made their peace with Microsoft to become officially "authorized" through Microsoft's certificate authority.
Now that the smoke has cleared and the leading Linux distros have had time to respond to the challenges of UEFI Secure Boot, we thought it was a good time to take a look at the state of Secure Boot and Linux.
More on UEFI
The UEFI specification supports easily extensible firmware through a variety of modules. These modules include an embedded network module for remote maintenance, as well as modules for digital rights management and BIOS emulation. The Secure Boot technology included with UEFI checks to see whether the bootloader is signed with a cryptographic key that authorizes a firmware contained in the database. By checking the signature of the bootloader, the kernel, and possibly other userspace code, UEFI firmware can prohibit unsigned software from running on the system.
Windows 8, which is the first operating system to implement the full range of UEFI Secure Boot features, can thus prevent the execution of malicious code. However, the owner of the computer can no longer freely choose which operating system to install.
Secure Boot
UEFI Secure Boot validates the boot process. The UEFI specification 2.4 defines the following components and processes for this purpose:
- A programming interface for accessing cryptographically protected UEFI variables in flash memory
- A format for storing X.509 certificates in UEFI variables
- A method for validating the bootloader and the drivers using Authenticode signatures
- A mechanism for revocation of compromised certificates and signatures
UEFI Secure Boot distinguishes between the keys listed in Table 1 and Figure 1.
Table 1
UEFI Keys
Key | Function |
Platform Key (PK) |
Usually a key provided by the hardware manufacturer (OEM); the PK allows the manipulation of the KEK. Only one PK is possible. |
Key Exchange Key (KEK) |
Multiple certificates possible; different keys possible for different OS vendors (e.g., Microsoft KEK CA); the KEK allows manipulation of the db and dbx. |
Authorized DB (db) |
Multiple certificates and hashes possible (e.g., Microsoft Windows Production CA); for identifying trusted code. |
Unauthorized DB (dbx) |
Multiple certificates or hashes possible; for identifying compromised code or malicious code. |
Furthermore, the specification describes two modes that Secure Boot can assume. The first is Setup mode. A UEFI firmware system whose Secure Boot implementation is operating in Setup mode does not protect the certificate store against tampering. In Setup mode, it is possible to save certificates and hashes in the UEFI certificate store, or remove them from the store, on a running operating system. This mode is used primarily to set up Secure Boot.
User mode severely restricts manipulation of the certificate store. Changes are no longer possible without authentication from the active operating system. To change the db or dbx certificate store, you need authorization by means of the private key stored in the KEK store of the certificate. Changing the KEK and PK store, however, requires the private key of the deposited platform key certificate.
Switching from User mode to Setup mode is possible by removing the platform keys. Removing a platform key requires knowledge of the private key associated with the platform key. Alternatively, you can use the UEFI Setup interface to change to Setup mode. Entering the Setup interface requires access to the hardware and, if necessary, knowledge of passwords.
UEFI Secure Boot does not prevent the installation of malware or modification of the bootloader, but it does ensure the reliability of the boot process. If the trustworthiness of the bootloader cannot be guaranteed, booting is prevented (shown in simplified form in Figure 2).
Secure Boot with Windows
Microsoft supports Secure Boot as of Windows 8. However, Secure Boot is not mandatory for the functionality of the operating system. You can't use older Microsoft operating systems with an active Secure Boot feature because Microsoft does not provide a signed bootloader for these older systems.
Hardware manufacturers who want to display the Windows 8 logo on their systems must support UEFI Secure Boot and enable the Secure Boot feature on delivery. Therefore, these systems must also have the necessary key material in the UEFI firmware. This key material includes, at a minimum, the Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011 certificate that is used by Microsoft for signing its own products. Additionally, the hardware manufacturers can store other Microsoft certificates (e.g., the Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011 certificate) and their own certificates in UEFI memory.
UEFI Secure Boot has mainly been used on client systems thus far. Future Microsoft operating systems are likely to make this technology available on server systems or even enforce its use.

In my attempts at being Homeschooling Madre Extraordinaire, I have a tendency to get my kids involved in all sorts of fun and artsy things. Looking around, I see I'm not the only one who makes sure their kid is well rounded, but slowly lets their own cool stuff fall by the wayside.
Aside from the outside activities, I make sure to get my kids groovy art supplies and kits for gifts, which is awesome because I at least get to partake in making projects at home. As an added bonus, I get to do all sorts of things I wished I could have done more of as a kid. (Like Shrinky Dinks- but more about those later..)
In any case, it's not that often that I start a creative project just for myself.
Bur, when I found the Art House Co Op, I began a mini revolution. They're a group out of Brooklyn- a world away from me on my petting zoo in Northern California- and they host all kinds of art projects that people all over the world can take part in. Some are free, some aren't, but they're all a chance to be a part of some big group effort in far away places.
I started with the traveling sketchbook project. It took me forever to start and was a big last minute mania to finish it, but I had a blast.
Next was the meal. It seemed like a simple idea, but was harder to execute than I imagined.
Still, I had so much fun with those that I signed myself up for what amounts to about a project a month all spring. There was a hand written note exchange, a mini artwork exchange, a map project and a photo response.
Making art just for me made me really, really happy. Of course, I could always take a few minutes to do art on my own, but signing up for a project actually makes me accountable, which increases the chances of me actually doing something. It's also more exciting to send your stuff off somewhere than to have it live in your closet.
Sometimes, I'll look at the work of the other artists and think "Oh shoot...they're really good" which is followed by negative self talk about me not being good enough or real enough. Does everyone have that annoying inner critic? Well, to heck with that. I'm just going to enjoy the process of making the art and if it doesn't look like the other artists, it's because I did it. With purple velvet and rainbows and glitter (except the Art House folks discourage glitter as it falls off and infects the non- sparkly work)
I'd encourage everyone to find their own little piece of creativity wherever they can- in the kitchen, with your camera, wherever. It's great when it includes the people you love, but it's OK to have your own thing too. What ways do you find to keep your creative spirit alive? I'd love other ideas...

Flight attendant Sheila Dail holds up some swimming gear at the start of her Oct. 28 talk to the Binghamton University Forum at Traditions at the Glen in Johnson City. "With over 30 years of experience as a flight attendant, I have packing down to a science. ... Since my experience on Flight 1549, I've added a few items to my suitcase," she said, drawing laughter from the audience.

'Brace for impact': Flight attendant recalls Hudson River crash, rescue
November 2, 2010
TweetUS Airways Flight 1549, en route from New York's LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte, N.C., was in the air for only two minutes on Jan. 15, 2009, when flight attendant Sheila Dail noticed a loud thump.
"It was something I felt and something I heard," she said. "I've read that the average person has about 60,000 thoughts a day. Let me tell you, I had about 60,000 thoughts in the next few minutes."
Four minutes later, the Airbus 320 was in the Hudson River and Dail was helping to evacuate 150 passengers to rescue boats outside of the plane. All of the passengers and crew members survived what would soon be called "The Miracle on the Hudson."
Dail recounted the events of that day to the Binghamton University Forum on Oct. 28, in a luncheon program called "What a Difference a Day Makes."
The US Airways crew was on the last leg of a four-day trip when its members left LaGuardia. Dail, who lives in Ashville, N.C., was looking forward to returning home after a successful trip that featured visits to Pittsburgh and one of her favorite cities, San Francisco. It was a cold January afternoon in New York City, but there was no snow and Flight 1549 was only 40 minutes behind schedule.
"The boarding went well. We had experienced travelers," Dail told the Forum audience at Traditions at the Glen in Johnson City. She even recalled that one passenger in the front row was already asleep before takeoff.
But the sudden thump as the plane began climbing shook Dail and the passengers. Dail recalled leaning over to fellow flight attendant Donna Dent and asking what the sound was. Dent's speculation was right: Flight 1549 had struck a flock of birds.
Dail then noticed a burnt electrical smell: "My heart began to sink," she said. "I knew something was really wrong." The flight attendants urged passengers to breathe. Otherwise, the cabin was "library quiet." Dail thought that the plane was heading back to LaGuardia.
"We were gliding down to what I assumed was a runway," she said. "It was peaceful and quiet with no sounds from the engines."
At 3:29 p.m., four minutes after takeoff, the voice of Pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger was heard.
"Over the intercom came the words I never imagined I would hear in real life," Dail said. "'This is the captain. Brace for impact.'"
Brace for impact? Dail admitted she needed a few seconds of denial before accepting the situation and repeating instructions to the passengers: "Bend over. Heads down. Stay down."
"At the same time, my mind is racing," she said. "Am I really doing this? … I guess I'm going to do the job I was hired to do. … I asked God to be with us, but if I had to die would he please make it happen quickly."
Ninety seconds later, Dail felt the impact and saw passengers rise and come back down to their seats. The plane skidded to the left and stopped. Sullenberg told the flight attendants and passengers to evacuate.
Dail still believed the plane was close to the runway and that they may be able to wade to land. She then told passengers to put on their life vests, leave their belongings behind and head for the just-inflated rescue rafts.
"The evacuation was orderly because we all had a common goal – to survive," she said.
As the passengers followed her instructions, Dail noticed water coming into the airplane.
"Sully was in the cabin and I asked him if the water was deep. He said, 'Oh yeah.'
"I exited the plane soon after and could not believe me eyes," Dail said. "I was in the middle of the Hudson River gazing at the Manhattan skyline. That's when it hit me: I'm still here. It was a euphoric feeling."
A ferry boat soon arrived, taking women and children first from the rafts while others waited on the plane's wing. Dail was one of the last to leave and continued to comfort and help passengers on the ferry boat and on shore.
Dail returned home two days later, but a whirlwind of recognition awaited the US Airways crew members. They attended President Obama's inauguration and the Super Bowl in Tampa, took bows from the Broadway stage of Cats and were interviewed by Katie Couric and others.
Nine months would go by before Dail returned to work. But in that time, she would find what she calls her "mission" today: creating a peer support group, or critical incident team, for US Airways flight attendants.
The "life-altering experience" has also led the veteran of 8,000 flights to offer advice to passengers. Seventy percent of the passengers on Flight 1549 did not watch the pre-flight safety demonstration and only 8 percent read the safety information card.
"It all comes down to awareness," she said, adding that passengers should be aware of personal safety equipment; be familiar with seat belts and locate life vests; find the closest exits; and imagine different situations and potential responses.
"Relax, but don't become complacent," Dail advised. "Be prepared, be ready to act and use all of the tools at hand that you have. But then we would like you to sit back, relax and enjoy your flight."
Dave Brough| November 7 1:23 am
"Use all of the tools that you have"
Had the two misfits flying Ms. Dail been using two of the most important tools they had - their standard-issue eyeballs - everyone could have, indeed, sat back, relaxed, and enjoyed their flight. But they weren't; so instead of going where they should have been watching, they ended up going where they were watching.

Ga. High court upholds convictions in two child killing cases
In a 5-to-2 decision, the Supreme Court of Georgia has reversed a Fulton County court ruling that had granted a stay of execution to Warren Lee Hill.
Last summer, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Gail Tusan postponed Hill's execution to review a new Georgia statute that protects as "a confidential state secret" the identities of those who supply or compound the drug used in lethal injections. At issue in this high-profile death penalty case is whether the 2013 statute is unconstitutional.
"We hold that it is not," Presiding Justice P. Harris Hines writes in today's 33-page majority opinion.
Hill was sentenced to death in 1991 after a Lee County jury convicted him of murder in the 1990 bludgeoning death of a fellow inmate, Joseph Handspike, at the Lee Correctional Institute. At the time, Hill was already serving a life sentence for the 1985 shooting death of his former 18-year-old girlfriend, Myra Sylvia Wright. In the early hours of Aug. 17, 1990, Hill pried a board embedded with nails from beneath the sink in the prison bathroom and, as Handspike slept, pounded him in his head and chest with the board while onlooking prisoners pleaded with him to stop. Handspike later died at the hospital.
The jury recommended the death sentence after finding that the murder was committed during an aggravated battery, the murder was "outrageously or wantonly vile, horrible or inhuman," and Hill had a prior murder conviction. In 1993, the Georgia Supreme Court upheld his conviction and death sentence.
Since his conviction, Hill's attorneys have filed multiple state and federal proceedings, many claiming unsuccessfully that Hill, who once served as a petty officer in the U.S. Navy, is mentally retarded and therefore ineligible for the death penalty. On July 23, 2012, Hill, then 52, was scheduled to be put to death by lethal injection at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson, GA, when the Georgia Supreme Court issued a stay of execution on another matter. Hill's attorneys had filed an appeal challenging the Department of Corrections' change to the lethal injection procedure, arguing it violated the state's Administrative Procedure Act, which requires public hearings before any change is made. (The Department had replaced the three-drug cocktail used in executions with one drug.) On Feb. 4, 2013, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that the change was not subject to the Act, and the high court lifted the stay. The State subsequently obtained another execution order and Hill's execution was again scheduled for July 19, 2013. His attorneys then filed an "Emergency Motion for Injunction" in Fulton County Superior Court against Brian Owens, Commissioner of Corrections, and other state officials. Hill's attorneys alleged that the "execution secrecy statute" was unconstitutional because it denied Hill information revealing "the identities of the manufacturer, individuals or entities in the chain of supply, prescriber, compounding pharmacy or pharmacist responsible for making the drugs available to the Department of Corrections for Mr. Hill's execution." On July 18, 2013, the day before Hill's scheduled execution, Judge Tusan granted an injunction to review the Georgia statute. She described the injunction as a stay of execution and ruled it was likely Hill would prevail on some of his constitutional claims. The Attorney General's office then appealed her order, and the Georgia Supreme Court agreed to review the case, asking the parties to address four questions:
* Is the case moot since the current supply of pentobarbital has expired and it is unclear how the State would obtain a new supply of execution drugs?
* Did the Fulton County Superior Court have the authority to stay Hill's execution?
* Could the whole issue of the statute's constitutionality be avoided if Hill's attorneys were given certain information not prohibited by the statute, including a sample of the actual compounded pentobarbital to be used in his execution so they could have it tested?
* Did Judge Tusan err by issuing the stay based on Hill's challenge of the statute's
In today's majority opinion, "we conclude that this case is not moot, that the Superior Court had limited but valid jurisdiction over this matter, that the possible availability of forms of discovery beyond what is forbidden by the execution-participant confidentiality statute does not affect this case, that the execution-participant confidentiality statute is not unconstitutional, and that the Superior Court erred by granting what amounted to an interlocutory injunction. Accordingly, we reverse the Superior Court's ruling and dissolve the injunction that prohibited Hill's execution with a drug produced by undisclosed persons and entities." (An "interlocutory injunction" is a court order to temporarily stop certain acts from going forward, pending the final determination of the case.) With today's opinion, the high court is sending the case back to Fulton County Superior Court so that court can make its order final consistent with today's Supreme Court opinion.
"Pivotal," the majority opinion says, "is the fact that each of Hill's arguments ultimately centers on his claim that there is an unconstitutional risk that his execution will amount to cruel and unusual punishment." However, Hill's expert gave no clear indication regarding the level of risk involved. "This lack of clear testimony about the level of risk involved should, we believe, be set against the fact that the execution drug, pentobarbital in this case, is not an uncommon drug and was produced in the type of pharmacy that is responsible for filling millions of prescriptions per year in this country." The failure of Hill's claims does not stem from any constitutional defect in the statute. Rather, "the failure of his claims stems simply from the fact that he failed to make any claims that could merit relief."
The majority opinion states the reasons for offering privacy are "obvious, including avoiding the risk of harassment or some other form of retaliation from persons related to the prisoners or from others in the community who might disapprove of the execution as well as simply offering those willing to participate whatever comfort or peace of mind that anonymity might offer. Although the identity of the executioner who actually inflicts death upon the prisoner is the most obvious party in need of such protection, we believe that the same logic applies to the persons and entities involved in making the preparations for the actual execution, including those involved in procuring the execution drugs. Second, without the confidentiality offered to execution participants by the statute, as the record and our case law show, there is a significant risk that persons and entities necessary to the execution would become unwilling to participate." Overall, the majority opinion says, "we conclude that Georgia's execution process is likely made more timely and orderly by the execution-participant confidentiality statute and, furthermore, that significant personal interests are also protected by it."
Justice Robert Benham begins his dissent by recounting details of the recent attempted execution of Oklahoma inmate Clayton D. Lockett, which ended 43 minutes after administration of the first drug when Lockett died of a massive heart attack. "I write because I fear this State is on a path that, at the very least, denies Hill and other death row inmates their rights to due process and, at the very worst, leads to the macabre results that occurred in Oklahoma," says the dissent, which Justice Carol Hunstein joins. "There must be certainty in the administration of the death penalty." But here there is not, the dissent says, due to the scarcity of lethal injection drugs. "Georgia's confidential inmate state secret statute does nothing to achieve a high level of certainty. Rather the law has the effect of creating the very secret star chamber-like proceedings in which this State has promised its citizens it would not engage….The fact that some drug providers may be subject to harassment and/or public ridicule and the fact that authorities may find it more difficult to obtain drugs for use in executions are insufficient reasons to forgo constitutional processes in favor of secrecy, especially when the state is carrying out the ultimate punishment." And assurances from the State that the compounding pharmacy it used was able to produce a high quality execution drug "amount to little more than hollow invocations of 'trust us,'" the dissent says. While the majority reasons that Hill has failed to show the statute is unconstitutional because his claims about the drug the State will use to execute him are merely speculative, "I would hold that it is a violation of due process to reject Hill's cruel and unusual punishment claim as speculative while simultaneously denying him the means by which he has any hope of proving that claim."

The Supreme Court of Georgia has reversed a Georgia Court of Appeals' finding that a man charged with Driving Under the Influence failed to file his demand for a speedy trial within the time frame required.
In today's unanimous decision, written by Justice Carol Hunstein, the high court finds that John Williamson did file his speedy trial demand within the two court terms required under Georgia law. However, the high court is sending the case back to the Court of Appeals to determine whether Williamson waived his right to a speedy trial, in which case he would not be entitled to have his charges dropped.
"Before we can find that the Court of Appeals erred in affirming the trial court's dismissal of Williamson's motion for discharge and acquittal, the issue of whether Williamson or his counsel waived his right to a speedy trial must be addressed," today's opinion says.
Williamson was formally charged in Fulton County State Court on July 27, 2011 with two counts of DUI and failure to maintain lane. On Nov. 2, 2011, Williamson's attorney filed a Speedy Trial Demand as permitted under Official Code of Georgia § 17-7-170. According to the statute, a defendant must make such a demand during the court term in which he was formally charged or during the succeeding court term. If the defendant is not tried during one of those two terms – "provided that at both court terms there were juries impaneled and qualified to try the defendant" – the charges must be dropped.
The Fulton state court has six terms of court that begin on the first Monday in January, March, May, July, September and November. In this case, Williamson filed his demand Nov. 2, two days before the end of the September term. (The first Monday of the November court term fell on Nov. 7.) At issue in this case is whether there were impaneled and qualified juries during the remainder of the September term, so that the September term counted as the first of the two terms within which the State had to try Williamson.
On Jan. 25, 2012, Williamson's attorney filed a motion for "discharge and acquittal," claiming the State failed to try him within the two court terms required by the statute. But the trial court denied his motion. Williamson appealed, and the Court of Appeals upheld the denial of Williamson's motion to acquit him, finding that the September term did not count because there were insufficient jurors available at the end of the term when Williams filed his speedy trial demand. Specifically, the Court of Appeals found that of 37 jurors who were impaneled and qualified on Nov. 3, 14 had already been sent to a courtroom for a trial, and 18 were "committed to other courtrooms that day." That left only five jurors, which was not enough for a criminal trial. The Court of Appeals therefore ruled that the September term did not count for purposes of triggering the statute's two-term provision of trying his case. Rather, "the first of the two terms in which Williamson could be tried was the November 2011 term, and thus the State had that term and the next succeeding term, January 2012, in which to try Williamson," the Court of Appeals ruled. Williamson then appealed to the state Supreme Court.
In today's opinion, the high court finds that the Court of Appeals was wrong because the September term did count as the first of the two court terms within which the State had to try Williamson. Under the statute, "juries must merely be qualified and impaneled for that term to count. For purposes of the statute, we conclude that impaneled means jurors who have been summoned, have appeared for service, and have not yet been discharged," the opinion says. "[T]he statute does not require that courts examine how many jurors were serving on other trials or had been committed for other trials. Nor does the statute require an analysis of whether the trial court had time to try the defendant, an examination of the court's calendar, or even whether there were enough criminal trial weeks scheduled during the term."
"Accordingly, we reverse the Court of Appeals' finding that the September term did not count and that the State had the November and January terms to try Williamson," the opinion says. However, the Court of Appeals still needs to decide whether Williamson's attorney waived his right to a speedy trial. When Williamson's case was called for trial in December, his attorney requested that another case in which his law firm was involved go first, and Williamson did not object to his case being put on the backup calendar. The trial court ruled that, "Although this conduct did not constitute a waiver of [Williamson's] right to a speedy trial, it did impact the ability to try [Williamson's] case" during the November term. Once the Court of Appeals decided, however, that the State had the November and January terms to try Williamson, it never reached a decision on the waiver issue. "Accordingly, having found that the September term counts as the first time during which the State had to try Williamson, such that the State was required to try Williamson before the end of the November term, the Court remands this case to the Court of Appeals for a determination of whether Williamson waived his right to assert a speedy trial violation."

The Supreme Court of Georgia has upheld the convictions and life prison sentence given to a woman in Richmond County for shooting to death a man in a wheelchair.
In this high-profile Augusta murder, Judy Lynn Washington claimed she shot Steve Mikel in self-defense. But the jury rejected that theory, and the state Supreme Court has unanimously upheld its decision.
According to the facts, the night before the killing, Washington, 52, and Mikel, 45, had gotten into a heated argument. A witness said that Mikel, a paraplegic who was wheelchair-bound, held Washington in a headlock and hit her repeatedly. During the assault, Washington threatened Mikel, saying she would shoot him if she had a gun. In the early morning hours of July 31, 2011, in the same location, Washington was sitting outside on the porch of a home, socializing with a group of people, when Mikel arrived and approached Washington. He said he wanted to talk to her about the night before and apologize. At the same time, he picked up Washington's purse. She told him to put down her purse and said she did not want to talk to him. As he continued holding her purse, witnesses said Washington reached into her shirt, pulled out a .22-caliber gun and fired at Mikel, who fell out of his wheelchair. As he tried to get up, Washington went over to him and fired a second shot while he was on the ground. She continued to fire three more times. Mikel tried to get up after each shot except the last one. He died from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen. When she was done, Washington put things into her purse, fixed her ponytail, and walked away from the scene, according to briefs filed in the case. As she made her way down the street, she threw the revolver in the front yard of a nearby residence. After canvassing the area and speaking to witnesses, police found Washington a short time later and arrested her for murder.
At her trial in January 2012, Washington's attorney claimed the shooting was in self-defense. The attorney told the jury that no one had come to Washington's aid the night before when Mikel had been beating her, and when he refused to put down her purse, Washington was afraid he was going to repeat the violence. The jury rejected the defense and convicted Washington of murder, aggravated battery and weapons charges. Washington was sentenced to life plus five years in prison. She then appealed to the state Supreme Court, arguing the evidence was insufficient to convict her.
However, "the evidence was ample to enable the jury to find Washington guilty of all the crimes for which she had been charged," Justice Harold Melton writes in today's opinion. "The jury was authorized to reject the claim of self-defense and conclude that Washington shot Mikel repeatedly without provocation."

The goal
came moments after Price used hs glove to bat away a scoring chance by
Kris Versteeg. Price was also in the right spot to make a save on Tyler
Bozak's shot off a goalmouth scramble at 7:45.
Cammalleri scored
in the dying seconds of the Canadiens' only power play. The goal was
unassisted because Leafs defenceman Mike Komisarek seemed to forget
that he wasn't a Canadien any more and his pass from the side bioards
found Cammalleri alone in the slot.
Gustavsson lived up to his
nickname in the first period as the Canadiens took advantage of a series
of odd-man rushes to outshoot the Leafs 17-10.
Neither team was
able to score but there were a couple of shots that hit posts.
Komisarek, a defenceman not known for his prowess, hit a post midway
through the period. The Canadiens' Andrei Kostitsyn, who is known as a
scorer, hit a post in the final two minutes after jockeying for position
in the slot on a 2-on-1 break.
It was the 12th win this season for Price and that's one fewer than his win total for all of last season.
Canadiens coach Jacques Martin reached another milestone as he coached his 1,200th game and picked up his 569th win.

Ben Parks inducted into sports hall of fame
Original post made by Leslie Airola-Murveit, Portola Valley: Ladera, on May 8, 2007
by Leslie Murveit
In his 40th year of service at Menlo-Atherton High School, Coach Ben Parks received the Tom Bradley Community Service & Distinguished Citizen Award, presented by the Palo Alto Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., on March 23. On June 21 Parks will be inducted into the San Mateo County Sports Hall of Fame.
Parks coached both football and wrestling at M-A and currently coaches the wrestling team at Sequoia High School. For two years in the 1970's, he also was Vice -Principal at Menlo Atherton, as its Dean of Students. Since his retirement in 1989, 72 year old Parks has been a volunteer mentor, teacher and friend to students at Menlo-Atherton. It is fitting that Parks will be recognized in the same year for two distinct awards –athletic and community service – the two endeavors to which he has devoted his life.
"I've tried all my life to help students and their families get what they need," said Parks. He noted that several teachers saved him from failing so he's devoted his life to giving back to his community. "My second grade teacher, Ms. Forshea and my high school athletic coach, Don Edwards, turned my life around." Parks' eyes filled with tears as he told his stories. With dignity, Forshea brought lunch to school every day for Parks and another student who didn't have enough food to eat. His 6th grade teacher volunteered to tutor him every day during the summer. Edwards refused to allow Parks to work for $.75 per hour at a car repair shop after graduating from high school and instead, delivered him to the College of the Pacific (now University of the Pacific) and enrolled him. Parks went on to graduate in 1957 and received a teaching credential the following year.
Parks started the Key Club at Menlo-Atherton, a youth version of the Kiwanis Club, of which he's been a member for 35 years. Under his leadership, the club began a holiday food drive in 1974. Thirty-three years later the annual food drive continues—in December nearly 400 Menlo-Atherton families received a two-week supply of chicken, fresh fruit and vegetables and dried and canned goods. Many of Parks' former athletes and Key Club members donate funds as well as their time and return to school to help deliver food boxes.
The Hall of Fame induction will include a banquet held at the San Mateo Elks Lodge. Tickets, priced at $50 each, are available for purchase from the San Mateo Times. Make checks payable to Sports Hall of Fame and mail your request to: John Horgan c/o The Times, 1080 S. Amphlett Blvd, San Mateo, CA 94402. Proceeds from the event will benefit the San Mateo County History Museum in Redwood City that houses the Hall of Fame's full collection of the plaques. Former M-A recipients include Girl's basketball Coach and Athletic Director, Pam Wimberly, and swimmer Dick Roth.

Hayden Hayden's Class of 2012 laughed and cried when Mallory McGowen read some memories into a microphone.
And they also laughed softly when they were reminded about the time they put Ms. Bush's fish in a water cooler and shot spit wads in Ms. Salberg's class. They laughed harder when McGowen recounted the time some of her classmates played jump rope with the intestines of a fetal pig being dissected in a biology class.
"No matter where we go, or what we do, we will always have this little town," the salutatorian said Sunday afternoon in Hayden High School's gymnasium. "We will always have our memories, our friendships. But most importantly, we will always have each other."
They will become soldiers and cooks, athletes and nurses. Principal Gina Zabel called them independent, energetic and stubborn. Together, they earned $234,640 worth of scholarships.
And with just 25 students, Superintendent Mike Luppes said the Class of 2012 is one of the smallest he can remember. But just like every other graduating class in Hayden, the group filled the bleachers with parents and friends who cheered the students on during a boisterous ceremony filled with inspirational speeches and a slideshow that traced the students friendships back to their infancies.
"It's always mixed emotions," Luppes said. "You're always pleased to see a great group of high achieving kids like this make great plans for the future."
Sunday was a big day for parents, too. Some of them in the bleachers were watching their youngest and last child graduate from the high school.
"She's going to do well, so I'm looking forward to seeing what she does with the rest of her life," Dana Haskins said about her daughter Aubree, who graduated with five scholarships totaling $27,000. "We ended with a big bang this year."
After all of the pomp and jubilation, the students thought ahead.
Buck Earle stepped over the silly string and balloons that covered the gym floor to receive hugs from classmates, teachers and parents after he threw his cap into the air.
The graduate said it was an honor to walk on a big stage minutes earlier and hear hundreds applaud the accomplishments of the seniors who sat centered in a hot gymnasium. He said it was a sad day, but at the same time, an awesome one.
"The friends I've made here will be with me the rest of my life," he said. "We'll keep in touch."
Earle soon will head to Western Colorado Community College to study culinary arts, but he won't leave his friends completely behind. He plans to immortalize them in the pages of five murder mystery novels he plans to write in college. The characters will be set in 1947 Chicago and based on the personalities of his classmates.
"Some people will have to play the bad guys," he joked. "The books might help me pay for college."
