Connecticut Characters: Profiles of Rascals and Renegades is a collection of the most popular profiles and colorful accounts written by long-time columnist Randall Beach. His columns were written over a span of 40 years and are fondly remembered by many New Haven Register readers. When Randall began writing the column, some of his newsroom colleagues dubbed the subjects “creep of the week” because often the subjects were so odd and eccentric. But none of them were “creeps;” they simply had a different way of looking at the world and of living. He always strove to give them dignity along with recognition. His writings always strike an affectionate tone and are often humorous, but never mocking. The individuals that he wrote were from all over Connecticut––well beyond the New Haven area. The collection focuses on some well-known people, such as former Yale University President A. Bartlett Giamatti, but mostly the profiles are of people, some colorful, who are part of the fabric of the state. It’s a remarkable and fascinating collection of profiles about people from all different walks of life around Connecticut.

Characters of Finite Coxeter Groups and Iwahori-Hecke Algebras

Finite Coxeter groups and related structures arise naturally in several branches of mathematics such as the theory of Lie algebras and algebraic groups. The corresponding Iwahori-Hecke algebras are then obtained by a certain deformation process which have applications in the representation theory of groups of Lie type and the theory of knots and links. This book develops the theory of conjugacy classes and irreducible character, both for finite Coxeter groups and the associated Iwahori-Hecke algebras. Topics covered range from classical results to more recent developments and are clear and concise. This is the first book to develop these subjects both from a theoretical and an algorithmic point of view in a systematic way, covering all types of finite Coxeter groups.

The RSA Conference is the largest regularly-staged computer security event, with over 350 vendors and many thousands of attendees. The Cryptographers’ Track (CT-RSA) is a research conference within the RSA Conference. CT-RSA began in 2001, and has become one of the major established venues for presenting cryptographic research papers to a wide variety of audiences. CT-RSA 2008 was held in San Francisco, California from April 8 to April 11. The proceedings of CT-RSA 2008 contain 26 papers selected from 95 subm- sions pertaining to all aspects of cryptography. Each submission was reviewed by at least three reviewers, which was made possible by the hard work of 27 P- gram Committee members and many external reviewers listed on the following pages. The papers were selected following a detailed online discussion among the Program Committee members. The program included an invited talk by Sha? Goldwasser. The current proceedings include a short abstract of her talk. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the Program Committee m- bers, who volunteered their expertise and hard work over several months, as well as to the external reviewers. Special thanks to Shai Halevi for providing and maintaining the Web review system used for paper submission, reviewing, and ?nal-version preparation. Finally, I would like to thank Burt Kaliski and Ari Juels of RSA Laboratories, as well as the RSA conference team, especially Bree LaBollita, for their assistance throughout the process.
