Nathan Gerbe scored the tiebreaking goal at 6:59 of the third period, Anton Khudobin stopped 30 shots and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 Thursday night.
Elias Lindholm and former Capital Alexander Semin also scored for the Hurricanes, now 25-2-4 over the past nine seasons against Washington when scoring at least three goals.
Jason Chimera and Alex Ovechkin had goals for the Capitals, who took four of five from Carolina last season. Ovechkin has seven points (five goals, two assists), the most he's had after four games since 2010.
Washington had a power play over the final 26 seconds and pulled goaltender Braden Holtby, but Khudobin withstood the late charge.
The Capitals went 0 for 5 with the extra man after converting six of 12 power-play opportunities during their first three games.
After twice making up one-goal deficits, the Hurricanes took their first lead in the third period. Holtby stopped a pair of shots before Gerbe stuffed in the second rebound from the right side of the net.
Signed as a free agent in July, Gerbe leads the Hurricanes with three goals.
Chimera gave the Capitals a 1-0 lead with his first goal of the season at 5:33 of the opening period. Eric Fehr dumped the puck into the Carolina zone, Khudobin knocked it to the left circle and Chimera fired it back between the goaltender's legs.
Lindholm tied it at 12:58 of the second period with a shot that glanced off the stick of Washington defenseman John Carlson. Less than a minute later, Ovechkin put Washington back in front by deflecting a shot by Steve Olesky into the net.
Semin's first goal of the season, a blast from the top of the left circle with Carolina on the power play, made it 2-all.
NOTES: It was the opener of a five-game homestand for the Capitals, their longest of the season. ... The Hurricanes have played 1,200 games since moving from Hartford. They've won 536 of them. ... D Alexander Urbom made his Capitals debut. He was claimed off waivers from New Jersey last week. ... Sixteen of the past 26 meetings between the teams have been decided by one goal. Washington is 11-1-4 in those games.
Gerbe's Goal Lifts Hurricanes Past Capitals 3-2
Nathan Gerbe scored the tiebreaking goal at 6:59 of the third period, Anton Khudobin stopped 30 shots and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 Thursday night.

Here are some of the great channels I have discovered thanks to your comments on my last video, in which I said I wanted to help promote your channels.
More to come soon!
My channel is about vaccines and alternative health news. I also have a website with vaccine exemption forms and a daily blog which I post to 4 times daily. (Note from Sonia: this is truly a wonderful channel, combining excellent information, up-to-date developments and excellent presentation on all levels)
I Post on Varieties of Topics including. Economy, Police State, Chemtrails, HAARP, Earthquakes, Politics, World Events, Fukushima, UFO's, Earth Changes, Weather, Science, Space, GMO's, Fluoride in Water, New World Order, Solar Activity, and the list just goes on and on!
My channel covers a broad scope of issues and interests, from Fukushima to drone strikes to (un)natural disasters. Lately I have begun delving into the esoteric and some spiritual issues, like magic and tarot.
Jasper Seren
UFOs, ET's Aliens, abductions, unexplained footage, Illuminati agenda and much more.
Here is a list of some skywatcher channels
I film the sky everyday. I call it the "Sky watch" and i do it to document the chemtrails and how we are getting strange weather. I know their not the best videos, but I trying to do my part by showing everyone whats going on. The truth needs to be told, thanks for any help you give. Fellow Canadian as well.
I'm a female 'truther' I upload mostly sky views but I also have other videos. I'm pretty new to youtube so I'm just warming up!
My channel is all about exposing the horrendous activity in the skies. As Marshall McLuhan said "Only puny secrets need protection. Big discoveries are protected by public incredulity." I created my channel to blast through incredulity with video that can't be debunked

Maurice Sendak, widely considered the most important children's book artist of the 20th century, who wrenched the picture book out of the safe, sanitized world of the nursery and plunged it into the dark, terrifying and hauntingly beautiful recesses of the human psyche, died on Tuesday in Danbury, Conn. He was 83.
The cause was complications of a recent stroke, said Michael di Capua, his longtime editor. Mr. Sendak, who died at Danbury Hospital, lived nearby in Ridgefield, Conn.
Roundly praised, intermittently censored and occasionally eaten, Mr. Sendak's books were essential ingredients of childhood for the generation born after 1960 or thereabouts, and in turn for their children. He was known in particular for more than a dozen picture books he wrote and illustrated himself, most famously "Where the Wild Things Are," which was simultaneously genre-breaking and career-making when it was published by Harper & Row in 1963.
Among the other titles he wrote and illustrated, all from Harper & Row, are "In the Night Kitchen" (1970) and "Outside Over There" (1981), which together with "Where the Wild Things Are" form a trilogy; "The Sign on Rosie's Door" (1960); "Higglety Pigglety Pop!" (1967); and "The Nutshell Library" (1962), a boxed set of four tiny volumes comprising "Alligators All Around," "Chicken Soup With Rice," "One Was Johnny" and "Pierre."
In September, a new picture book by Mr. Sendak, "Bumble-Ardy" — the first in 30 years for which he produced both text and illustrations — was issued by HarperCollins Publishers. The book, which spent five weeks on the New York Times children's best-seller list, tells the not-altogether-lighthearted story of an orphaned pig (his parents are eaten) who gives himself a riotous birthday party.
A posthumous picture book, "My Brother's Book" — a poem written and illustrated by Mr. Sendak and inspired by his love for his late brother, Jack — is scheduled to be published next February.
Mr. Sendak's work was the subject of critical studies and major exhibitions; in the second half of his career, he was also renowned as a designer of theatrical sets. His art graced the writing of other eminent authors for children and adults, including Hans Christian Andersen, Leo Tolstoy, Herman Melville, William Blake and Isaac Bashevis Singer.
In book after book, Mr. Sendak upended the staid, centuries-old tradition of American children's literature, in which young heroes and heroines were typically well scrubbed and even better behaved; nothing really bad ever happened for very long; and everything was tied up at the end in a neat, moralistic bow.
Headstrong and Bossy
Mr. Sendak's characters, by contrast, are headstrong, bossy, even obnoxious. (In "Pierre," "I don't care!" is the response of the small eponymous hero to absolutely everything.) His pictures are often unsettling. His plots are fraught with rupture: children are kidnapped, parents disappear, a dog lights out from her comfortable home.
A largely self-taught illustrator, Mr. Sendak was at his finest a shtetl Blake, portraying a luminous world, at once lovely and dreadful, suspended between wakefulness and dreaming. In so doing, he was able to convey both the propulsive abandon and the pervasive melancholy of children's interior lives.
His visual style could range from intricately crosshatched scenes that recalled 19th-century prints to airy watercolors reminiscent of Chagall to bold, bulbous figures inspired by the comic books he loved all his life, with outsize feet that the page could scarcely contain. He never did learn to draw feet, he often said.
In 1964, the American Library Association awarded Mr. Sendak the Caldecott Medal, considered the Pulitzer Prize of children's book illustration, for "Where the Wild Things Are." In simple, incantatory language, the book told the story of Max, a naughty boy who rages at his mother and is sent to his room without supper. A pocket Odysseus, Max promptly sets sail:
And he sailed off through night and day
and in and out of weeks
and almost over a year
to where the wild things are.
There, Max leads the creatures in a frenzied rumpus before sailing home, anger spent, to find his supper waiting.
As portrayed by Mr. Sendak, the wild things are deliciously grotesque: huge, snaggletoothed, exquisitely hirsute and glowering maniacally. He always maintained he was drawing his relatives — who, in his memory at least, had hovered like a pack of middle-aged gargoyles above the childhood sickbed to which he was often confined.
Maurice Bernard Sendak was born in Brooklyn on June 10, 1928; his father, Philip, worked in the garment district of Manhattan. Family photographs show the infant Maurice, or Murray as he was then known, as a plump, round-faced, slanting-eyed, droopy-lidded, arching-browed creature — looking, in other words, exactly like a baby in a Maurice Sendak illustration. Mr. Sendak adored drawing babies, in all their fleshy petulance.
A frail child beset by a seemingly endless parade of illnesses, Mr. Sendak was reared, he said afterward, in a world of looming terrors: the Depression; World War II; the Holocaust, in which many of his European relatives perished; the seemingly infinite vulnerability of children to danger. He experienced the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby in 1932 as a personal torment: if that fair-haired, blue-eyed princeling could not be kept safe, what certain peril lay in store for him, little Murray Sendak, in his humble apartment in Bensonhurst?
An image from the Lindbergh crime scene — a ladder leaning against the side of a house — would find its way into "Outside Over There," in which a baby is carried off by goblins.
As Mr. Sendak grew up — lower class, Jewish, gay — he felt permanently shunted to the margins of things. "All I wanted was to be straight so my parents could be happy," he told The New York Times in a 2008 interview. "They never, never, never knew."
His lifelong melancholia showed in his work, in picture books like "We Are All in the Dumps With Jack and Guy" (1993), a parable about homeless children in the age of AIDS. It showed in his habits. He could be dyspeptic and solitary, working in his white clapboard home deep in the Connecticut countryside with only Mozart, Melville, Mickey Mouse and his dogs for company.
It showed in his everyday interactions with people, especially those blind to the seriousness of his enterprise. "A woman came up to me the other day and said, 'You're the kiddie-book man!' " Mr. Sendak told Vanity Fair last year."I wanted to kill her."
But Mr. Sendak could also be warm and forthright, if not quite gregarious. He was a man of many enthusiasms — for music, art, literature, argument and the essential rightness of children's perceptions of the world around them. He was also a mentor to a generation of younger writers and illustrators for children, several of whom, including Arthur Yorinks, Richard Egielski and Paul O. Zelinsky, went on to prominent careers of their own.
A 'Wild Rumpus' With Maurice Sendak

Long Hours in Bed
As far back as he could remember, Mr. Sendak had loved to draw. That and looking out the window had helped him pass the long hours in bed. While he was still in high school — at Lafayette in Brooklyn — he worked part time for All-American Comics, filling in backgrounds for book versions of the "Mutt and Jeff" comic strip. His first professional illustrations were for a physics textbook, "Atomics for the Millions," published in 1947.
In 1948, at 20, he took a job building window displays for F. A. O. Schwarz. Through the store's children's book buyer, he was introduced to Ursula Nordstrom, the distinguished editor of children's books at Harper & Row. The meeting, the start of a long, fruitful collaboration, led to Mr. Sendak's first children's book commission: illustrating "The Wonderful Farm," by Marcel Aymé, published in 1951.
Under Ms. Nordstrom's guidance, Mr. Sendak went on to illustrate books by other well-known children's authors, including several by Ruth Krauss, notably "A Hole Is to Dig" (1952), and Else Holmelund Minarik's "Little Bear" series. The first title he wrote and illustrated himself, "Kenny's Window," published in 1956, was a moody, dreamlike story about a lonely boy's inner life.
Mr. Sendak's books were often a window on his own experience. "Higglety Pigglety Pop! Or, There Must Be More to Life" was a valentine to Jennie, his beloved Sealyham terrier, who died shortly before the book was published.
At the start of the story, Jennie, who has everything a dog could want — including "a round pillow upstairs and a square pillow downstairs" — packs her bags and sets off on her own, pining for adventure. She finds it on the stage of the World Mother Goose Theatre, where she becomes a leading lady. Every day, and twice on Saturdays, Jennie, who looks rather like a mop herself, eats a mop made out of salami. This makes her very happy.
"Hello," Jennie writes in a satisfyingly articulate letter to her master. "As you probably noticed, I went away forever. I am very experienced now and very famous. I am even a star. ... I get plenty to drink too, so don't worry."
By contrast, the huge, flat, brightly colored illustrations of "In the Night Kitchen," the story of a boy's journey through a fantastic nocturnal cityscape, are a tribute to the New York of Mr. Sendak's childhood, recalling the 1930s films and comic books he adored all his life. (The three bakers who toil in the night kitchen are the spit and image of Oliver Hardy.)
Mr. Sendak's later books could be much darker. "Brundibar" (2003), with text by the playwright Tony Kushner, is a picture book based on an opera performed by the children of the Theresienstadt concentration camp. The opera, also called "Brundibar," had been composed in 1938 by Hans Krasa, a Czech Jew who later died in Auschwitz.
'Melodramatic Menace'
Reviewing the book in The New York Times Book Review, the novelist and children's book author Gregory Maguire called it "a capering picture book crammed with melodramatic menace and comedy both low and grand." He added: "In a career that spans 50 years and counting, as Sendak's does, there are bound to be lesser works. 'Brundibar' is not lesser than anything."
With Mr. Kushner, Mr. Sendak collaborated on a stage version of the opera, performed in 2006 at the New Victory Theater in New York.
Despite its wild popularity, Mr. Sendak's work was not always well received. Some early reviews of "Where the Wild Things Are" expressed puzzlement and outright unease. Writing in Ladies' Home Journal, the psychologist Bruno Bettelheim took Mr. Sendak to task for punishing Max:
"The basic anxiety of the child is desertion," Mr. Bettelheim wrote. "To be sent to bed alone is one desertion, and without food is the second desertion." (Mr. Bettelheim admitted that he had not actually read the book.)
"In the Night Kitchen," which depicts its young hero, Mickey, in the nude, prompted many school librarians to bowdlerize the book by drawing a diaper over Mickey's nether region.
But these were minority responses. Mr. Sendak's other awards include the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award and, in 1996, the National Medal of the Arts, presented by President Bill Clinton. Twenty-two of his titles have been named New York Times best illustrated books of the year.
Many of Mr. Sendak's books had second lives on stage and screen. Among the most notable adaptations are the operas "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Higglety Pigglety Pop!" by the British composer Oliver Knussen, and Carole King's "Really Rosie," a musical version of "The Sign on Rosie's Door," which appeared on television as an animated special in 1975 and on the Off Broadway stage in 1980.
In 2009, a feature film version of "Where the Wild Things Are" — part live action, part animated — by the director Spike Jonze opened to favorable notices. (With Lance Bangs, Mr. Jonze also directed "Tell Them Anything You Want," a documentary film about Mr. Sendak first broadcast on HBO that year.)
In the 1970s, Mr. Sendak began designing sets and costumes for adaptations of his own work and, eventually, the work of others. His first venture was Mr. Knussen's "Wild Things," for which Mr. Sendak also wrote the libretto. Performed in a scaled-down version in Brussels in 1980, the opera had its full premiere four years later, to great acclaim, staged in London by the Glyndebourne Touring Opera.
With the theater director Frank Corsaro, he also created sets for several venerable operas, among them Mozart's "Magic Flute," performed by the Houston Grand Opera in 1980, and Leos Janacek's "Cunning Little Vixen" for the New York City Opera in 1981.
For the Pacific Northwest Ballet, Mr. Sendak designed sets and costumes for a 1983 production of Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker"; a film version was released in 1986.
Among Mr. Sendak's recent books is his only pop-up book, "Mommy?," published by Scholastic in 2006, with a scenario by Mr. Yorinks and paper engineering by Matthew Reinhart.
Mr. Sendak's companion of a half-century, Eugene Glynn, a psychiatrist who specialized in the treatment of young people, died in 2007. Mr. Sendak's personal assistant, Lynn Caponera, worked for him almost as long while living at his Ridgefield home. No immediate family members survive. Though he understood children deeply, Mr. Sendak by no means valorized them unconditionally. "Dear Mr. Sun Deck ..." he could drone with affected boredom, imitating the semiliterate forced-march school letter-writing projects of which he was the frequent, if dubious, beneficiary.
But he cherished the letters that individual children sent him unbidden, which burst with the sparks that his work had ignited.
"Dear Mr. Sendak," read one, from an 8-year-old boy. "How much does it cost to get to where the wild things are? If it is not expensive, my sister and I would like to spend the summer there."

Technology: Identity Management
Identity Management is complicated for even the simplest of enterprises. But the ROI can be compelling.
In the classic Marx Brothers movie Horse Feathers, Harpo is asked for a password, which the audience knows is "swordfish." If an identity management system had been in place, the silent comedian would first have had to display a smart ID card and give a thumbprint to authenticate who he was, then define what he wanted access torather than simply pulling a fish from his pocket.
Long considered a mundane and esoteric aspect of IT security, identity management is rapidly gaining visibility as the linchpin around which companies are organizing their risk-management efforts. But for most organizations, identity management isn't a simple set of problems with easy solutions. Instead, it's a host of ongoing challenges that must be dealt with over time.
What is identity management? It's "managing all the aspects of a user's online identity in a coherent method," says John Pescatore, research director for Internet security at Gartner Inc. Burton Group, a Midvale, Utah-based consulting firm, defines it as "a set of processes, and a supporting infrastructure, for the creation, maintenance and use of digital identities." Says Burton President Jamie Lewis: "It's about making the right things available to the right people at the right time, and then having audit and logging capabilities that show what happened."
For most companies, the downside of ad hoc identity management is obvious. Giving new employees access to every application they need can take weeks, slowing productivity dramatically. Support costs to provide access to applications can be huge, with analysts claiming that up to 40 percent of help-desk calls concern employee passwords. Managing security changes when someone's promoted or transferred tends to be a complex process that may never be the same twice. And many companies have little or no idea whether employees they fire or lay off can still gain access to the system, creating serious risks until security audit time rolls around.
Substantial costs and looming liability should send a wake-up call to every CIO making clear the need to improve their identity management. Companies need to know who's accessing what data and what it's costing to maintain that accessand provide a bulletproof audit trail detailing how it's all being managed.
Ask Your IT Staff:
What is it costing us to try to keep track of who's who?
Ask Your Vendors:
What is the range of costs for an identity management initiative?
Ask Your Security Auditors:
Which critical identity management issues do you care about the most?
Sure, identity management can be a huge problem. Dare to think small.
Once companies gain a general understanding of their major identity management issues, the natural response is to try to deal with every one of them all at once through a single major initiative. But experts say it's far better to take a step-by-step approach, focusing first on critical areas of security exposure and support costs. How do you make sure, for instance, that an employee who's been fired has actually been removed from every point of access?
That's a huge problem for the average company wrestling with a pile of old and new applications, each with its own proprietary access method. Even the simplest forms of user identitynames and passwordsare often embedded so deeply into legacy applications that coordination of user names and passwords into something that looks like the near-mythical "single sign-on" can be a nearly insurmountable task. Ted DeZabala, a partner in the enterprise research group of Deloitte & Touche's consulting division, recalls one effort at a Fortune 100 financial services firm to determine how many "identity infrastructures" the company was managing through its various applications. The answer: 186.
The right course is to try to standardize and simplify, over time, the many different processes for managing access to critical data. In some cases, this will be a relatively straightforward process. Automated provisioning systems, for example, can take the pain out of adding, changing and deleting permissions and users, saving data entry and help-desk costsfor $20 to $50 a head. But they won't solve every problem. Given legacy systems that can hang on for decades, coupled with the explosion of Internet-era applications, analysts say there will always be programs that resist easy integration.
It's the non-technical issues that cause some of the biggest problems. Political hurdles can impede the effort to integrate identity management, because some corner of the organization or other will inevitably react badly to attempts to enforce cross-department standards. And business processes can be very tough to change, because some users will always prefer to work the way they always have. "We can come up with the niftiest technical solutions possible, but if people don't use them, they don't do the enterprise any good," says Bennett Griffin, CEO of security vendor Griffin Technologies.
Ask your IT staff:
How many "identity infrastructures" do we have?
Ask your chief IT strategist:
How can we get the business side to agree on a more standardized approach to identity management?
Ask your internal audit department:
If we can define the increased certainty we'll gain by increasing control over user identity, will you authorize the budget?
Customer identity management can be an opportunitybut tread carefully.
Only a decade ago, the idea of providing customers access to internal corporate systems was unthinkable to most IT shops. Today, it's standard operating procedure. And with that access comes a raft of identity management problems that can make internal difficulties pale in comparison.
Once a business begins managing information about its customers, it may look for ways to share that information with partners. Take, for example, customers who visit United Airlines' Web site to make a reservation. To offer them rental cars from United partner Hertz, United must seamlessly hand off its customer registration data to Hertz. That kind of integrated identity management, known as "federation," is increasingly being discussed as a golden opportunity for businesses with online presences. "We look at this as a control issue," says Kevin O'Neil, president of the International Security, Trust & Privacy Alliance (ISTPA), an industry consortium. "Who's going to enroll people, who's going to maintain it, who's going to traffic in this data?"
Yet growing government oversight and customer concerns about safeguarding personal information mean corporations must think through all the ramifications of their actions before venturing too deep into processes that make customer data more widely available. For example, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPPA) clearly defines rules for sharing patient information between healthcare organizations, such as requiring that only authorized people can see specific data. Without explicitly defined marching orders for healthcare IT departments, the way applications manage identities can open an institution up to substantial risk.
But analysts say most discussion of federation is still just thatdiscussion. Though Microsoft's .NET Passport is already in use, much criticism has been leveled at its centralized identity database. And efforts such as the Liberty Alliance, a group of vendors attempting to streamline cross-corporation identity management, are still nascent. "That's two to three years away from being anything useful," says Gartner's Pescatore.
Ask Your E-Business Constituents:
How much does the ability to share customer information with our partners matter today?
Ask your legal department:
What are the laws in our state that govern our identity management actions?
Ask your business colleagues:
Can we save money by streamlining the process by which we buy and sell product with other businesses?
The Future
The Future
There are a lot of moving parts involved in identity management, and it's going to get worse.
Despite the fact that many companies are juggling access by so many different users to so many different applications, we may all look back at this period as a time when life was simple.
CIOs today benefit from a number of advantages, say experts. Though many of the public key infrastructure, or PKI, initiatives of the past decade were nonstarters, certain standards are more widely accepted today than they were even a few years ago. For example, there is no more argument about the standard protocol for gleaning information from directory services: LDAP, the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, has won. That means organizations are free to standardize methods for sharing data between directories.
But many standards are not yet solidified. "There is such a standards free-for-all going on, with different standards bodies grabbing different pieces of the elephant," says ISTPA's O'Neil. "As long as that Tower of Babel continues to go on, there will be confusion."
Internally, corporations have to struggle with the complexity of their own custom and legacy applications in order to simplify the business rules used to control access. Say, for example, a particular user is authorized to purchase no more than $50,000 of goods a day. Right now, analysts say, enterprise access management systems can't effectively manage that. So even straightforward but critical user access controls can't be completely centralized.
Meanwhile, the regulatory landscape continues to shift. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which mandates stricter financial reporting, will have a seismic effect on identity management in public companies. As CIO Insight pointed out in the December 2002 issue, IT departments are coming to realize they'll need to increase spending to respond to the law's stricter financial reporting rules and faster deadlines. But companies must also guarantee that sensitive information that might affect a company's stock price cannot be viewed by any but sanctioned people, significantly raising the bar for both internal and external digital identity management.
How can IT departments manage all of this complexity? Analysts say it comes down to good planning. The corporation's overall risk-management plan must encompass all major aspects of employee and customer identity. The security model built from the risk management plan has to anticipate a broad range of both users and applications all attempting to access critical corporate data. And because major identity management issues can only be solved over time, IT departments need to work from an identity management roadmap that helps determine what problems must be solved, and when.
Ask your CTO:
What critical technical standards are affecting our identity management efforts?
Ask your CFO:
How much legal risk do we run by providing internal access to our financial systems?
Tell your it architect:
We need a roadmap for identity management.

Spinning Wheel
The Burton Group points to four phases of employee identity management. Trying to separately "provision" names and passwords through each of these steps, for a variety of security-related software, can be a nightmare. The solution: Centralized processes that update identity information automatically.
Strategic Profile

Strategic Profile: Mount Sinai NYU Health
Mount Sinai NYU health is a five-year-old health services organization comprising six hospitals and 17 affiliates on two main campuses. After an exhaustive analysis aided by Gartner Inc. And theBurton Group, the company chose Novell Directory Service (NDS) to power a digital identity directory service supporting a physician's portal.
CIO: Stuart Sugarman
Problem: Doctors were logging into a variety of critical systems, such as operating-room scheduling and patient profiles, requiring them to remember difficult user ID and password combinations. And they couldn't connect to those systems remotely.
Goal: MSNYU Health wanted to build a central directory service that would authenticate users for a broad range of activities, giving them the feel of a single sign-on for a variety of applications.
Strategy: Integrate all the remote and portal access identity management processesfrom linking to the physicians' virtual private network to accessing portal applicationsinto a single system.
Challenges: Programmers had to use centralized programming methods, so getting them to code new applications to NDS's system was tough. And integration to a centralized health service Oracle database, which would allow more sophisticated identity management by centralizing a broad range of employee information, is yet to be done.
ROI: No formal ROI was calculated, but management readily signed off on the project because sign-on simplification was clearly so valuable.
Assessment: "I think of it as more of a user-driven requirement than an IT initiative that we just came up with on our own," says Sean Welsh, director of core engineering for Mount Sinai NYU Health.

(Pocket-lint) - Nikon unveiled its Nikon 1 V1 and J1 compact system cameras in style, with a massive version of the J1 appearing overnight in London's Covent Garden.
The big hand sculptures that hold it have been installed for some time, leading to much speculation as to their purpose, but all was revealed when the new camera suddenly appeared.
At 6-feet high, the hands and camera are certainly impressive, and if you're in the area, you should definitely take a look. Plus, there are similar structures in other major cities around Europe; Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Zurich, Warsaw and Milan all have identical sculptures.
Simon Iddon, product manager for Nikon 1 is pleased that the installation has garnered such interest: "The launch of Nikon 1 is our most significant announcement since we introduced our first digital camera 14 years ago," he says. "We believe that this is the camera the world has been waiting for and that is what the ambitious hands installation at London and others across Europe are intended to dramatise."
Incidentally, the official pictures of the hands were taken with a Nikon D35, not a Nikon 1 (we checked the EXIF data), which is a shame, but at least they weren't taken with a Canon 1D...

|1541 Emulator
|Remove the need for working 1541 drive/floppies...
|Yvanj, Jobj, Jeffrey
|Den Bunker
= Atmega/SSD based sollution
DOS based sollution
- A MS-DOS compatible operating system. FreeDOS should do, but there are known compatibility problems with many DOS drivers. If you have problems, dig out those floppies or use the 'Make MS-DOS boot disk'-feature in Windows XP.
- 1541 emulating software
- commercial, so not recomended
- major issues with fastloaders and copy protections.
- requires
- special cabling,
- alternatieve design (prefered) jet an other design
- DB 15 Male (or USB plug) (for powering the cable) (got them)
- DB 25 Male for data to Dos Box (Got them)
- Din 6 Male (for C64 serial port) (female if you build it into a box)
- 7406 Hex invertor IC (Yvanj is fetching two pieces atm)
- 74LS14 Hex Invertor IC (Yvanj is fetching two pieces atm)
- 74LS86 Exlusive OR gate (Yvanj is fetching two pieces atm)
- proven to be WORKING!!!!
- USB not powering within DOS, that's an issue, but you can overcome it with an USB MP3/iPod/Cell Phone/Whatever charger connected to the plug.
- Fastloaders like FCIII work just fine.
- requires
- A PC capable of running the chosen DOS version, and a LPT port
- Generally, the slower, the better - timings to the 1541 drive are way better this way. But do not go below 33Mhz, because then the timings will be incorrect too.
Software implementation
Because my testing machine has a 500GB SATA HDD, with EXT3 and NTFS partitions, installing DOS is problematic. USB booting with DOS should work, but memory extenders (HIMEM.SYS and EMM386) are conflicting most of the time with the routines which take care of USB support, resulting 99% of the time in a kernel panic, and in 60% of the time in data loss.
That's the reason why I've begun stuffing the data into a 3.5" floppy disk - those drives/disks are still common/usable, and they are easier than CD's/pen drives for random access. The problem I ran soon into, was the capacity of 1.44MB. It should be possible to reformat it to another size (up to 1.9MB if I recall correctly), but I chose for compression techniques because they're much more stable. I created a modular system which allows you to easily extend the DOS disks, and if the disks are formatted into a bigger size, maybe I can put some extra drivers in it.
boot sequence
- DOS kernel is loaded, config.sys is parsed
- core drivers (HIMEM.SYS only atm) are loaded
- DPMI extender is loaded so we can use more recent toolchains.
- plugin system is initialized
- plugins are loaded
Plugin architecture
Plugins are simple ZIP files which are extracted using PKUNZIP to a RAM drive. To illustrate the structure of a plug in, here's how it is loaded:
- PLUGNAME.ZIP is extracted to the RAM drive. It contains a directory PLUGNAME.
- RAMDRIVE:\PLUGNAME\LOAD.BAT is executed to alter environment variables/load device drivers in RAM.
Also, the floppy copies itself to a RAM disk using the plug in management system, so you can safely insert another floppy without the need to swap them each time you return to the shell.
Possible improvements
- Download packages from the internet to improve loading times, and to make room available for more network drivers. (possible, manageable, unimplemented atm)
- Mount NFS/CIFS share to drive letter for easier D64/data access (possible, but not manageable do to space restrictions)
- Make a BASIC extender for the C64 to make it easier to load new floppies without the need to restart the simulator software each time. (possible, moderate, currently implementing)

To some school boards who are giving the students they serve a lesson in real life.
-- To some school boards who are giving the students they serve a lesson in real life.
The latest example comes from Highland, where the board has extended a formal invitation to students to come to meetings and share their opinions about the value of various programs.
Such sessions usually amount to a recitation of the classes and activities that students want to see retained, and not much more. If boards are going to turn these into more than just feel-good publicity, they need to ask the students to apply the critical-thinking skills they are supposed to be honing to the problem at hand.
Let the students talk about what they would keep — but also what they would reduce or eliminate. That would be educational for everyone.
--- To Newburgh police and the community organizations that are helping fund and organize gun buyback programs in a city where too may guns in the wrong hands has been a problem for a long time.
Since the buyback began in mid January, city police have collected 106 guns in return for grocery gift certificates. These are weapons that were no longer being used or wanted. Most importantly, by getting them out of the home, they could not be accidentally discharged or stolen.
Police plan one more buyback session on March 16 at Street Rock Ministries, 60 Dubois St.
Guns can also be turned in at police stations in Newburgh, Middletown and Port Jervis, as well as the Orange County Sheriff's Office in Goshen until March 18.
-- To the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary for giving a famous goat a comfortable home. The goat became a local TV and Internet sensation when he escaped from a Brooklyn slaughterhouse Feb. 8. A security guard and former goat herder captured him and turned him over to police for what seemed to be an inevitable return to the slaughterhouse.
Then the sanctuary stepped in, and Wilfred the goat found the kind of Woodstock welcome that has greeted many another refugee from Brooklyn. While he is still adjusting, Wilfred can look forward to a lifetime of care with other goats and about 200 other rescued farm animals.
-- To some Newburgh taxi drivers who helped police capture a suspect fleeing a robbery of another taxi driver; they then kept on alert and helped police locate and take a second suspect into custody.
These drivers, who are on the city streets and nearby roads all around the clock, every day of the week, can offer valuable help to the police.
-- To the Sullivan County Federation for the Homeless, which is opening its food pantry to military veterans every second and fourth Friday afternoon.
In addition to helping veterans fill bags with food, the federation has representatives from several veterans organizations and others on hand to share information.
As one person who helps veterans explained, a lot of veterans are too embarrassed to ask for help, so efforts like this bring together people who have had similar experiences and who can share both resources and advice.

Related to Hysterysis: Hysteresis loop, hysteresis error, Hysteresis loss, Magnetic hysteresis, elastic hysteresis, Hysteresis effect
In economics, a situation or indicator that persists despite evidence that it should not. For example, the unemployment rate tends to remain high even after GDP growth has resumed, in part because business owners are afraid that growth will turn negative again even if they have no rational reason for believing so. One may think of hysteresis as an economy's collective memory. See also: Lagging indicator.

3 Easy Ways to Start a Family Garden

Do your kids like to spend time outdoors?
Then start a garden!
Gardening is a great outdoor activity with an abundance of benefits.
In this article I'll show you three easy methods for starting a garden with your kids this spring.
Why Garden With Your Kids?

Judge Roberts on Trial
Almost every recorded political statement John Roberts has made throughout his life, from adolescence to his nomination as chief justice, suggests that he has strong conservative political convictions and instincts, and many people naturally fear that he will use his great power on the Supreme Court in the service of his politics. He promised that he would not, but the Senate Judiciary Committee should have been more effective than it was in testing that promise. In fact it failed dramatically in its responsibility to do so.
In his public career Roberts has opposed improving protection for the voting rights of minorities; held that it would be constitutional for Congress to strip the federal courts of their powers to supervise racial integration; denigrated efforts by a group of women legislators to reduce gender inequality in the workplace; referred to the right of privacy as "so-called"; signed a brief advising the Supreme Court to overrule Roe v. Wade; and described a Supreme Court decision outlawing a moment of silence that might be used for prayer in schools as "indefensible." (See William L. Taylor's recent article on Roberts's career in these pages.1 )
In the Senate hearings now concluded, Roberts repeatedly said that the more outrageous of these opinions were only those of a lawyer doing his job, in the Justice Department and the White House, for a very conservative client: the Reagan administration. But of course he did not have to join that administration and the tone of many of his comments suggests not just an obedient staff member but an enthusiastic proponent. The Bush administration has refused to allow senators to see Roberts's more recent memoranda, written when, as deputy solicitor general in the first Bush administration, he had more responsibility for making policy. We can only speculate about what political opinions these would reveal.
Nor is there much in Roberts's record as disclosed to the Senate that suggests any personal impulse to moderate the right-wing policies he has defended or any concern for those at the bottom of our society whom such policies would injure. He did advise his superiors that stripping the courts of their jurisdiction over the use of busing as a remedy for racial inequality, though in his opinion constitutional, would be "bad policy." But he said it would be bad for technical reasons: because, as he told Senator Herbert Kohl, it might "lead to a situation where there's arguable inconsistency and disuniformity in federal law." He did advise the administration to sign a treaty condemning genocide, but only because a failure to sign it would be bad for the nation's image. As a lawyer in private practice he acted pro bono in advising a gay rights group preparing for a Supreme Court challenge to Colorado's discriminatory constitutional amendment. But he did so, he told Senator Richard Durbin, because the partners of his firm asked him to, and he seemed happy to add, in response to Durbin's further question, that he would "of course" have…

A Program is a specific set of activities carried out according to guidelines to achieve a defined purpose. Program profiles on tell us whether a specific program was found to achieve its goals when it was carefully evaluated. The results apply to the exact set of activities and procedures used for that one program as it was implemented at the time of evaluation. Thus, the program profile tells us that a program is likely to produce the observed result if implemented in exactly the same way. A hypothetical question that might be answered by a program profile is: Did the ABC Mentoring Program in Anytown, USA achieve its goals?
A Practice is a general category of programs, strategies, or procedures that share similar characteristics with regard to the issues they address and how they address them. Practice profiles tell us about the average results from multiple evaluations of similar programs, strategies, or procedures. The programs, strategies, or procedures within a practice are similar because they share certain defining characteristics that are described for each practice profile on . Thus, practice profiles tell us the average result across multiple evaluations. A hypothetical question that might be answered by a practice profile is: Does mentoring usually achieve its goals?

Beirut's Accidental Cargo: How an Unscheduled Port Visit Led to Disaster
The chemicals that went up in flames in Beirut's deadliest peace-time explosion arrived in the Lebanese capital seven years ago on a leaky Russian-leased cargo ship that, according to its captain, should never have stopped there."They were being greedy," said Boris Prokoshev, who was captain of the Rhosus in 2013 when he says the owner told him to make an unscheduled stop in Lebanon to pick up extra cargo.Prokoshev said the ship was carrying 2,750 tonnes of a highly combustible chemical from Georgia to Mozambique when the order came to divert to Beirut on its way through the Mediterranean.
Cyprus Police Question Man Over Links to Beirut Chemicals Cargo
Cyprus has located and questioned a Russian man named in multiple news reports as the owner of the ship that carried a cargo of ammonium nitrate abandoned in Beirut and that exploded in a devastating fireball.A Cyprus police spokesman said an individual, who he did not name, was questioned at his home in Cyprus on Thursday afternoon."There was a request from the Interpol Beirut to locate this person and ask certain questions related to the cargo," the spokesman, Christos Andreou, told Reuters. He said the responses were being passed on to Beirut.He declined to give further information.
CMA CGM Says Missing Beirut Staff Member Died
Container shipping group CMA CGM said on Thursday that one of its staff who was missing after an explosion that ripped through Beirut port on Tuesday has died.The French-based company in a statement said that two of its staff in Beirut were seriously injured and many slightly hurt.It also confirmed that it was setting up a logistics hub in the Lebanese port of Tripoli, like other shipping firms, and was also offering logistical assistance to the authorities.(Reporting by Gus Trompiz; Editing by Jon
China's Crude Imports Surged 25% in July
China's crude imports surged 25% in July from a year earlier, as massive purchases made while prices collapsed in April arrived and as some shipments delayed at ports in June finally cleared customs.China, the world's top crude oil importer, brought in 51.29 million tonnes of oil last month, equal to 12.08 million barrels per day (bpd), data from the General Administration of Customs showed on Friday.That is higher than the 9.66 million bpd imported in July 2019 but below a previous record of 12.94 million bpd set in June.
NOAA Raises Predicted Number of Tropical Storms to Record High
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on Thursday predicted up to 16 more named tropical storms this year, to as many as 25, the highest in the agency's history.The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, which began on June 1, has already produced nine named tropical storms, two of which reached hurricane strength, including Isaias that lashed the North American Atlantic coast this week."We've never forecast up to 25 named storms, so this is the first time," said Gerry Bell, NOAA's lead hurricane season forecaster in a conference call with reporters.
