The makeshift deck on the Pennsylvania had been built at Mare Island Naval Shipyard in San Francisco Bay at no cost to the Navy. The modifications were paid for by the Curtiss Airplane Company. The landing platform, constructed of pine planks, was 130 feet long by 32 feet wide. Ten feet of it hung at an angle—with a drop of four feet—over the stern of the ship. The arresting gear comprised 21 ropes—each with 50-pound sandbags attached to either end—laid across the runway. Each rope was suspended 8 inches above the deck. Three hooks had been affixed to the underside of the aircraft to catch on the ropes when the landing was made. The sandbags were then to act as drag to slow the plane. A heavy canvas awning was stretched across the sides and the end of the landing strip—"a sort of hammock to catch Ely in case he should be thrown out [of the plane] by a too-sudden stopping of the machine."
The plane itself had two pontoons fastened on either side, and a small hydroplane was mounted behind the front wheel—precautions, according to Ely, "so that if I should take a header into the water the machine would not dive like a duck." Additionally he "wound [about his torso] an inflated innertube of a bicycle tire, so that if I fell in the water it would sustain me at least until I was picked up."
'A Conclusive Demonstration'
Ely approached at 60 mph with a tailwind. "Just as I came over the overhang at the stern," he said, "I felt a sudden lift to the machine as I shut down the motor." That gust of air carried him "a trifle further" than intended. Ely said the plane's hooks "caught the fourth [rope] . . . up to the eleventh." Other accounts—and photographs—indicate that the hooks missed far more than the first three ropes. In any case it was, Ely wrote, "a conclusive demonstration of the adaptability of the aeroplane to military purposes."
Ely then mingled with a crowd of dignitaries and the officers and crew of the cruiser. He and his wife, Mabel, were hosted by the ship's commanding officer, Captain Charles F. Pond, at a luncheon. "I didn't feel hungry but did content myself with a couple of glasses of punch—not alcoholic," wrote Ely. Pond pronounced that it was a certainty that airplanes "will figure in the battles of the future." He speculated that future navies would have "one ship connected with every fleet" that would be equipped with aircraft. Rear Admiral E. B. Barry, Pacific Fleet Commander, believed the future of aircraft in the Navy was a bit "overdrawn." He thought that the only useful purpose of airplanes would be to "obtain maps and other data, while flying from a great altitude—say over fortifications and land defenses." But he continued that "as a means of attack against the modern ship of war, it seems improbable that as much can be said." The admiral argued that "every warship has hundreds of marines"—all trained marksmen—"and it seems unreasonable that the bird men could get close enough to become effective . . . and the man and airplane would topple into the depths below."
Ely took off an hour later for his flight back to San Bruno. As he climbed to 2,000 feet, he "heard a terrific screeching of the sirens of the bay craft" honoring his feat. A crowd estimated at 75,000—a good portion of San Francisco's population at the time—was along the waterfront. One local newspaper reported the shoreline "presented one compact mass of humanity" with "every wharf, shed and pier crowded to overflow." Spectators "perched themselves upon ships decks and superstructures and even climbed up far into the ship rigging."
When he landed at the makeshift airfield next to Tanforan Race Track, a squad of Soldiers "deployed and quickly surrounded me," he wrote. "They picked me up and raised me on their shoulders," carrying him across the field to a tent were the Army major in charge "had luncheon" prepared in his honor. He noticed "one of the plates was turned down." An officer explained they hadn't expected Ely to come back. "I was good and hungry and the Army fare looked good to me," he commented.
First Among the Firsts
Ely's feat was one of several "firsts" that occurred in San Francisco during a ten-day air meet held there. Crowds estimated at 200,000 had come by car, train, and bus to witness one of the nation's first air shows. Aviators competed for $50,000 in prize money—$1.5 million in current values. Four companies of infantry were encamped at the meet, which was designed to prove to the Army and Navy that "the aeroplane can be used as an aggressive" weapon. "A machine gun detachment and field guns will make mimic warfare upon the birdmen," promised Frederick Scotford, chairman of the air show.
The event marked the first time that the War Department had ever permitted federal troops to participate in a civil-aviation meet. Pioneer aviator Hubert Latham became the first man to fly through the Golden Gate, where no bridge had yet been built. The Army flew "great kites in representation of airships" with Soldiers shooting live rounds in order that the "figurative damage" done to the attacking "airships" could be gauged
Another barnstorming aviator, Charlie Willard, went aloft with a 100-foot length of fine aluminum wire trailing his plane. He then became the first man to receive a wireless message from an Army ground station. In another communications first, Captain Paul Beck of the Army Signal Corps went aloft with civilian pilot Philip Parmalee, and at 500 feet sent the first wireless message from an airplane to a ground station—while traveling at the unheard of speed of 60 mph. Wilbur Wright proclaimed, "It is perfectly feasible to build an aeroplane which will fly 100, 200 or even 300 miles an hour." The Wright Brothers' first flight, eight years earlier, had reached a speed of 6.8 mph.
Navy Ensign Roy Stover of the armored cruiser West Virginia became the first naval officer to fly when he was taken aloft by Walter Brookins, a pioneer in his own right: He was the first pilot to have been trained under Wilbur and Orville Wright. The press coverage of the event included a notice that a "mysterious Lieutenant Foster of the U. S. Aeronautic Corps" had gone up in a plane with a rifle "for a target shooting test." Foster, who reportedly scored a couple of hits on silhouette targets, was generally believed to have been Ely using an alias. Another first was the dropping of explosive devices at targets on the ground. Reporting on the resultant bomb craters, one newspaper commented, "the naval office at Washington must turn to the huge task of assuring there is some protection from the soaring death."
In the end, though, it was Ely's daredevil flights onto and off of the Pennsylvania that captured the world's attention. It was epoch-making—as one newspaper editorial concluded: "It changed in an instant the whole theory of naval warfare."
Eugene Ely was killed in an airplane crash in Macon, Georgia, in October 1911—a mere ten months after his historic feat. In 1932 Congress posthumously honored Ely, awarding him the Distinguished Flying Cross, and in 1961 the U.S. Post Office issued a naval aviation commemorative stamp marking the 50th anniversary of his achievement. An exhibit honoring him is on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

More Authors Realizing They Can Make A Damn Good Living Self-Releasing Super Cheap eBooks
from the wave-of-the-future? dept
As Konrath noted in that original story, no publisher can offer a deal for authors that is that good. Instead, they'd give her a tiny cut of sales, take much longer to actually get her works out there, and then have to price them many times higher. That's not to say traditional publishers don't or can't add value. A good editor and a good publisher who can help market and promote a book can be quite valuable as well. But, we're seeing more and more that for people who can do that on their own, they can get by just fine. And the real issue may be that many book publishers are still very much in denial about all of this, and don't realize that stories like this are going to become more common.

Time to get serious.....
That little guy (8 lbs at most) jumps on and off the bed like a gazelle so as soon as I brought out the bins and plopped them on the bed, he was right there to help. Red seems to be his favorite color! Can you tell? You'd be surprised at how he loves to dig through those fabrics......I'd have a real mess if I wasn't right there to supervise! I'm sure he'd take off with a hunk for sure.
So after I picked a bunch of various colors, and sewed them together in mindless sewing (because I still have my cold), this is what I ended up with:
They'll eventually get cut down to about 2 inches square and hopefully be used as a border (at least that's the plan right now.) Of course though, I needed a middle piece so yesterday, I worked on that. I wanted to piece the whole thing (remember me talking about that??) Problem is that I'm not patient enough, so did it 50/50. Piecing and fusing:
I KNOW it doesn't look like much right now.........but I did that on purpose! I have plans.......so just wait! I'm so hoping that it will look amazing when it's finished. It's all in the details, dontcha know??? SO......you know what I'll be doing for the next few days..........stay tuned.........!!!

text: High-Speed Insurance February 11, 2014 10:50 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ben Potter AgWeb Social Media and Innovation Editor Email RCIS announces new partnership with precision ag You've heard of high-speed Internet, but what about high-speed insurance? Because precision technology is ever-expanding into new areas of production agriculture, companies are finding new ways to use it. One of the newest advancements is harnessing the power of precision for crop insurance purposes. Rural Community Insurance Services (RCIS) recently announced it has partnered with Ag Leader and Trimble to offer customers high-tech solutions for digital record keeping. Farmers using Ag Leader's SMS software or Trimble's Farm Works mapping software can now submit field data electronically with the Precision Farming service offered by RCIS. This is a crop insurance data tool that gives farmers the ability to upload planting data electronically, which will improve communication between the farmer and the agency, decrease paperwork and increase overall efficiency, explains Rick Greenwood, chief information officer at RCIS. "As the role of technology in the farming industry continues to grow, farmers need access to improved technology to help with data management and record keeping. With our expanded technology platform and collaboration with Ag Leader and Trimble, RCIS provides farmers with the tools and support they need to efficiently manage risk and their business," Greenwood says. New features include performance improvements, the ability to support multi-file imports and training for farmers and agents, he adds. Steve Manning, a farmer insured by RCIS, says the enhancements should prove to be valuable additions. "I look forward to seeing how their new collaboration will help me use the data I collect during planting and harvesting, and speed up how quickly I'm able to report this information with my crop insurance agent," he says. Mike Martinez, market manager with Trimble, says another potential benefit is faster claims. "The press of a button gets the data to RCIS," he says. "The main goal here is to be a time-saver."

When you look up at the night sky, you see a very particular view of the Universe. You see electromagnetic radiation, light, at optical wavelengths from objects like stars. If your eyes could see radio waves, which are another wavelength of light, they would see a very different picture of the Universe. The sources of radio light are different than the sources of optical light. Astronomers want to build all different kinds of telescopes to see the entire spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. You can see a view of the Milky Way Galaxy at all different wavelengths of light here (from this page) and you might notice that the view you get is very different depending on what kind of telescope you build.
For almost the entire history of astronomy, we viewed the Universe through an electromagnetic window. For many decades, astronomers have been interested in viewing the Universe through an entirely separate window: a gravitational one. Unlike electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves are very slight changes in spacetime that cause objects to move closer or farther away from one another by miniscule amounts. They are predicted from Einstein's theory of general relativity, and so a detection provides further evidence in support of the theory. The sources of gravitational waves are very exotic, the most notable being two compact objects like neutron stars or black holes in a close orbit. As they orbit around one another, gravitational waves are emitted from the system. Since energy is leaving the system, the orbits shrink, until the two objects eventually merge in a violent event. Observations of gravitational waves will allow us to study the dynamics of these sytems on many different size scales.
On February 11th, 2016, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) collaboration announced the detection of gravitational waves from a black hole binary. This is the first concrete detection of a double black hole system. Both black holes were the most massive stellar-mass black holes ever detected (over other candidate objects). They observed the mass of the merged object to be less than that of the sum, implying that the difference in mass was converted to an enormous amount of energy that was lost as gravitational waves in the merger event (as much as 5000 supernovae!). They also measured the spin of the final black hole, the rate of black hole mergers in the local Universe, and more. So much new understanding of physics came from a single gravitational wave event. Astronomers like those in the LIGO collaboration hope to find many more such events so that we can begin to build a gravitational wave view of the Universe.

The February jobs report is out next Friday and should prove the highlight of an otherwise light week for economic data.
Continue Reading Below
Quarterly earnings reports are winding down with a handful of bellwether companies, not least home construction firm Hovnanian Enterprises (NYSE:HOV), which is scheduled to report on Wednesday.
The January jobs report was a disappointment – the headline unemployment rate rose slightly to 7.9% from 7.8% and the economy added just 157,000 jobs, according to the Department of Labor.
The number of jobs added fell in a now-familiar range of between 150,000 and 160,000, the same range seen through most of 2012.
Economists believe that number will have to climb well above 200,000 if the U.S. is to make a lasting dent in the unemployment rate. That's important because the Federal Reserve has essentially tied its fiscal policy to that rate, vowing not to tighten its loose fiscal policies until the rate falls below 6.5%. Keeping interest rates at historically low levels risks runaway inflation.
Payroll processor ADP (NYSE:ADP) will release its employment report on Wednesday. The report often serves as a good forecast of the government report due later in the week.
Also due next week are: the Institute for Supply Management's non-manufacturing index, a good measure of demand in a range of industries, on Tuesday; factory orders are released on Wednesday; the Federal Reserve's beige book, a measure of economic activity in the Fed's regional areas, is also out on Wednesday; and a report on international trade is due Thursday.
Hovnanian's earnings are important because a detailed forecast by the company could shed light on where the firm sees the housing industry headed into 2013 and beyond.
Other significant earnings reports are due from: retailer Staples (NASDAQ:SPLS) on Wednesday; tax return processor H&R Block (NYSE:HRB), grocery store chain Kroger (NYSE:KR), Internet radio company Pandora Media (NYSE:P) on Thursday.

Wednesday July 10, 2013
Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh turned weather girl for Yahoo! this week, providing viewers with her top tips to stay fashionable yet practical, whatever the weather, at theYahoo! Wireless Festival, held this weekend.
The fashion junkie gave her suggestions on three outfits for differing forecasts, from covering up with a khaki jacket to a bikini to embrace the summer sun.
Millie collaborated with Yahoo! ahead of their new weather app that will provide festival-goers with weather updates and images from Flickr in order to allow users to not only read but also 'see' the weather and its effects during the festival.
In the video, Millie showed off her toned stomach in a cropped black top, black leather shorts and a khaki cover up for cold weather. For Britain's recent heatwave, she style a bikini with a knitted dress over the top, accessorized with a cross-body black handbag and black sunglasses.
'Go for that windswept look and just work it,' says Professor Green's fiancée, if the weather turns ugly.

Bolt-On Jeep Cherokee XJ UpgradesPosted in How To on August 1, 2011
If you remember the Cherokee formerly known as "Je_p," you'll recall it's a '91 XJ that was in sad shape when we started on it. Things are looking much better these days, but there were still issues that needed addressing.
What issues were these? The rear tires rubbed and the steering felt sloppy. The solution? The product line at Currie Enterprises. Currie offers several bolt-on products that effectively address common XJ problems.
While under the XJ, we discovered that part of the sloppy steering came from a cracked unibody subframe next to the steering box. Repairing unibody structure isn't a lot of fun, but it was satisfying to have the XJ snatched away from death's door once again.
The former "Je_p" is still alive and stronger than ever.

Also considered is if the injury can heal or it is more chronic to the extent where you cannot walk or work. Loss of income is always taken into consideration and any expenses incurred such as travelling fees, car parking fees at the hospital, rehab costs and other medical treatments.
Physical and mental distress is also taken into consideration as your injuries could cause you trauma mentally or physically.

They also did the Tennyson school bus that ran from Henley High (because MTT buses didn't go any further north in that area than the 28-terminus in Military Rd at Grange). Morphetts Port-Glenelg service was taken over by the MTT and became the 33/34 routes (Port - Marino) in the late 1960s or early 1970s.

Why Have So Many Companies Settled Over Ridiculous Patent For 'Online Music Distribution'?
from the cheaper-to-settle dept
Earlier this year, however, Sharing Sound sued a whole bunch of companies over these patents. Included was Apple, Microsoft, Napster, Rhapsody, BDE (Kazaa), Sony, Sony/Ericsson, Amazon, Netflix, Wal-Mart, Barnes & Noble and Gamestop. Late last week, the news came out that Apple had settled and paid up. Along with that, people noted that most of the other companies had already settled.
I defy anyone to explain how this patent is a valid patent. The folks at M-CAM broke down a whole bunch of prior art when the lawsuits were first filed. Anyone who was anywhere near the online web store world for digital content would look through the (very, very, very simple) claims in the patent and just laugh. There's no "invention" there at all. It's a joke.
So why did so many companies settle? The easy guess is that the settlement terms were simply less than going through with the lawsuit. Lawsuits are expensive, even over totally bogus patents. So it's often just easier and cheaper to pay up. Of course, now that gives Sharing Sound more ammo to say "look at all these big companies who settled" when they continue to go after lots of other companies. This is a perfect example of how bad patents still "win" lawsuits.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:38 PM GMT on August 04, 2010
Tropical Storm Colin was ripped apart by wind shear yesterday, and the storm's remnants are passing just north of the northernmost Lesser Antilles Islands today. Most of the heaviest thunderstorms are passing north of the islands, as seen on Guadeloupe radar. Long range radar out of Puerto Rico also shows this. Colin's remains are in a rather unfavorable environment for re-development, since the disturbance is passing beneath an upper-level low pressure system with dry air and high wind shear. Wind shear is a high 20 - 25 knots over Colin's remains this morning. Recent satellite imagery shows that heavy thunderstorm activity has increased in intensity and areal coverage over the past few hours, though, and Colin's remnants will need to be monitored for re-development.
Forecast for Colin's remains
The latest SHIPS model forecast predicts that wind shear will drop from 15 - 25 knots today to a moderate 15 - 20 knots on Thursday. Wind shear will continue to decline over the weekend, and this relaxation of shear prompts most of the major models to predict re-development of Colin sometime in the next four days. NHC is giving Colin's remain a 20% chance of developing into a tropical depression by Friday morning. A major trough of low pressure is expected to move off the U.S. East Coast on Friday, and this trough will pull Colin to the northwest and cause it to slow down. By Friday, Colin will be moving at half of its current speed. All of the major forecast models are predicting that the trough of low pressure will be strong enough to fully recurve Colin out to sea early next week. Colin's remains may pass close to Bermuda on Saturday, with the latest 06Z (2am EDT) run of the GFDL model predicting that Bermuda will experience tropical storm force winds on Saturday as Colin passes to the west of the island. The Hurricane Hunters are scheduled to investigate Colin's remains at 8pm EDT tonight. It currently appears that Colin will only be a threat to Bermuda and Canada.
Figure 1. Morning satellite image of Colin's remains and Invest 92L.
A tropical wave (Invest 92) in the south-central Caribbean is moving west at 15 - 20 mph. This wave is over warm water and is experiencing low wind shear of 5 - 10 knots, and could show some development over the next two days. However, the wave's rapid westward motion should bring it ashore over Nicaragua and Honduras on Friday, or the Yucatan Peninsula on Saturday, and 92L probably does not have enough time over water to develop into a tropical depression. NHC is giving a 20% chance of this disturbance developing into a tropical depression by Friday morning. This storm was being tagged as 98L yesterday; I'm not sure why it is being called 92L today.
CSU's forecast numbers for the coming hurricane season remain unchanged
A very active Atlantic hurricane season is on tap for 2010, according to the seasonal hurricane forecast issued today, August 4, by Dr. Phil Klotzbach and Dr. Bill Gray of Colorado State University (CSU). The CSU team continues to call for 18 named storms, 10 hurricanes, 5 intense hurricanes, and an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index 185% of average. These are the same numbers as their June 2 forecast. Between 1950 - 2000, the average season had 10 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes. But since 1995, the beginning of an active hurricane period in the Atlantic, we've averaged 14 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 intense hurricanes per year. The new forecast continues to call for a much above-average chance of a major hurricane hitting the U.S., both along the East Coast (50% chance, 31% chance is average) and the Gulf Coast (49% chance, 30% chance is average). The risk of a major hurricane in the Caribbean is also high, at 64% (42% is average.)
The forecasters cited four main reasons for an active season:
1) Moderate La Niña conditions should be present during the most active portion of this year's hurricane season (August - October). This should lead to reduced levels of vertical wind shear compared with what was witnessed in 2009.
2) Current SST anomalies are running at near-record warm levels. These very warm waters are associated with dynamic and thermodynamic factors that are very conducive for an active Atlantic hurricane season.
3) Very low sea level pressures prevailed during June and July over the tropical Atlantic. Weaker high pressure typically results in weaker trade winds that are commonly associated with more active hurricane seasons.
4) We are in the midst of a multi-decadal era of major hurricane activity, which began in 1995. Major hurricanes cause 80 - 85 percent of normalized hurricane damage.
Analogue years
The CSU team picked four previous years when atmospheric and oceanic conditions were similar to what we are seeing this summer. Those four years were 2005, the worst hurricane season of all time; 1998, which featured 3 major hurricanes, including Category 5 Hurricane Mitch; 1952, a relatively average year that featured just 7 named storms, but 3 major hurricanes; and 1958, a severe season with 5 major hurricanes. The mean activity for these five years was 17 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and 5 intense hurricanes, almost the same as the 2010 CSU forecast.
How accurate are the August forecasts?
The August forecasts by the CSU team over the past 12 years have had a skill 21% - 44% higher than a "no-skill" climatology forecast for number of named storms, hurricanes, intense hurricanes, and the ACE index (Figure 2). This is a good amount of skill for a seasonal forecast, and these August forecasts can be useful to businesses such as the insurance industry and oil and gas industry that need to make bets on how active the coming hurricane season will be. This year's August forecast uses a new formula, so we don't have any history on how the technique has behaved in the past. An Excel spreadsheet of their forecast skill (expressed as a mathematical correlation coefficient) show values from 0.61 to 0.65 for their previous August forecasts using different techniques, which is respectable.
Figure 2. Comparison of the percent improvement over climatology for May and August seasonal hurricane forecasts for the Atlantic from NOAA, CSU and TSR from 1999-2009 (May) and 1998-2009 (August), using the Mean Squared Error. The British firm Tropical Storm Risk (TSR) will issue their outlook for the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season on June 4. Image credit: Verification of 12 years of NOAA seasonal hurricane forecasts, National Hurricane Center.
The British private forecasting firm Tropical Storm Risk, Inc. (TSR) is scheduled to release their August forecast later today. NOAA will also be issuing their August forecast sometime in the next week.
This season has had three named storms so far (Alex, Bonnie, and Colin.) It will be difficult to have a season with 19 or more named storms, since the four seasons that had at least 19 named storms all had at least five named storms by this point (August 4.) These four seasons were 1887, 1933, 1995, and 2005.
Next update
I'll have an update on Thursday morning.

Deanna Lloyd, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson at Engel & Völkers New York City, about the Wall Street real estate market:
1. How is the real estate market developing at the moment?
The Wall Street market, more commonly known as the Financial District, (New Yorkers call it FiDi) has seen a transformation over the past few years – evolving from a commercial into a residential neighborhood and achieving its status as a relatively affordable downtown alternative to nearby Tribeca. While the demand is rising, there is still very low inventory in the neighborhood. At present, it seems as though apartments are not moving on and off the market as fast as other neighborhoods.
Offering lower prices per square meter than the vast majority of Manhattan neighborhoods, the "FiDi" area is understandably in demand, but recent retail and residential developments have made it an even more attractive neighborhood for families. No longer is it a neighborhood that is dark and vacant after 6:00pm when people leave their offices.
The Financial District is undergoing a transformation with a number of retail developments and residential construction, especially near the Fulton Street corridor. With the opening of the Fulton Center transit hub, the area's transportation options are now superb. The new transit hub offers access to five different subway lines, which makes traveling from your home to work, in say midtown, easier than ever.
2. What kind of real estate is mostly asked for?
My clients are predominately looking for one-bedroom or two-bedroom condos to function as investment properties. Luxury buildings such as 20 Pine Street and 40 Broad Street (The Setai) were and still are still attractive buildings for buyers. New developments such as 75 Nassau and 5 Beekman are also on buyers' radar.
I have had many clients who loved the views and neighborhood feel of Battery Park City, but when they learned about the high real estate taxes involved with purchasing a Battery Park City apartment, they looked elsewhere. Until a few years ago, the surrounding Financial District offered comparable views but lacked the neighborhood feel of Battery Park City and wasn't seen as a comparable alternative. All that is changing now.
3. Is there a housing standard that is typical for the market?
Most existing and new Financial District residential buildings feature an extensive list of amenities, another reason why many people find the neighborhood to be an attractive option. Roof decks with breathtaking views of lower Manhattan are very popular features of both rental and condominium buildings.
4. What is the big difference between Wall Street and the rest of Manhattan regarding the real estate market?
The reality is that the Wall Street real estate market suffered greatly following the September 11th terrorist attacks. Vacancy rates rose tremendously and jobs fled the area too. Since that time, the Financial District has been a work in progress, whereas other neighborhoods in Manhattan have not suffered in such a way.

Capitals rally from 3-0 down, beat Bruins in OTNHL.com @NHLdotcom
The Washington Capitals had the Boston Bruins right where they wanted them -- with the Bruins holding a 3-0 lead.
The Capitals scored four unanswered goals, the last by Eric Fehr 37 seconds into overtime, to defeat the Bruins 4-3 Tuesday at Verizon Center.
"I think it says a lot about our character," Fehr said. "This team believes in ourselves ... we're a pretty confident bunch right now and we believe in the system. ? We're playing together as a team, and that's why we were able to win today."
Boston has six losses (three regulation) and has led in four of them. It dropped its second in a row after winning six straight.
"We had the game in the bag and we got complacent," Bruins forward Brad Marchand said. "It's a very tough loss. ... It never should have gone to overtime; that's on us, we've got to be better. They got a lot of opportunities and they capitalized at the right time."
Washington has won four of five and seven of 10.
"We know how important it is to string some wins together," Fehr said. "To come back against a team that good means a lot, and hopefully we can keep going."
The game-winner came when Fehr busted between Bruins defensemen Dougie Hamilton and Dennis Seidenberg and lifted a backhand over Tuukka Rask's glove and under the crossbar.
Washington rallied on second-period goals by Mike Ribeiro and Tomas Kundratek, and got the tying score from Wojtek Wolski with 6:05 remaining in the third.
Fehr entered the Bruins zone and flipped a pass between Hamilton's legs that was gathered by Wolski in the slot. He flipped a backhand over Rask to even it 3-3.
"We needed this," Wolski said. "There have been so many times in the beginning of the season where we gave up leads. I think tonight is a big step for us. We had a great effort from the young guys that came in. They did a good job, the goaltending was great, and we're happy to get the win."
Marchand scored on a shorthanded penalty shot, and Zdeno Chara and Hamilton added first-period goals to give the Bruins a 3-0 lead.
"You can't expect to win a hockey game if you're not going to play three periods," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "The team we played tonight was a desperate team. They came out with a vengeance in the second period and we didn't respond well.
"We don't have many 3-0 leads. Maybe we got too comfortable."
With the Capitals on a power play, Marchand scooped a loose puck in the neutral zone and headed toward goalie Braden Holtby on a breakaway. Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin caught Marchand from behind but hooked him, resulting in the penalty shot.
Marchand kept the puck on his forehand and while skating to his left sent it against the grain between Holtby's legs at 6:29. It was Marchand's 12th goal of the season, moving him into a tie for fifth in the National Hockey League.
Boston took a 2-0 lead when Milan Lucic fed an advancing Chara in the left circle. The big defenseman's shot deflected off teammate David Krejci right back to him and Chara converted at 17:07.
A little more than a minute later, Ovechkin was called for interference after checking Chris Kelly, who a split-second before had passed the puck.
On the power play, Lucic sent a pass from behind the net to Krejci, who backhanded a pass to Nathan Horton, who backhanded a pass to Hamilton, whose blast from near the blue line beat Holtby at 18:30.
Washington started its comeback with two second-period goals.
Chara's clearing attempt was stopped at the blue line by Capitals defenseman Steve Oleksy, whose high shot was tapped to the ground by Ovechkin. He passed to Ribeiro on the left side, and he beat Rask 5:46 into the second.
It was the first point for 27-year-old Oleksy, making his NHL debut in the absence of Mike Green (injured) and Roman Hamrlik (waived Tuesday).
Kundratek then scored his first NHL goal in his 24th career game, converting a pass from Fehr at 11:32, after Nicklas Backstrom won a faceoff in the Bruins' zone.
"I definitely celebrated like it was a winning goal in the playoffs," Kundratek said. "It was my first one, and I'll remember it for the rest of my life."

Dreaming Tree Wine comes to us from Northeast California. Dave Matthews is owner of this vineyard and I just had to search out a bottle. So far the Cabernet Sauvignon is the only one I have tried. I am interested in trying the Crush and Chardonnay.
Hey, my love, you came to me like
Wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and you
quench my mind
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but
Sweet for certain
The Cab definitely gets a thumbs up - we will buy it again. Rich, great mouth feel, deep red fruits but not sweet. A winner...just like Dave's music :-)
Dreaming Tree Wine
I will be adding this to my growing list of mini reviews on the wine tab.

I Crown Thee: Ruler of Your Birthday!
Do your kids start talking about their next birthday within days of the birthday they've just celebrated? My daughter is super prepared - she started planning her next birthday 11 months in advance. Every week she adds a new element.
I'd like to add one of these adorable crowns to the festivities. Etsy has so many options it's rather stunning, and none of them include faux marabou feathers or rhinestones. Many of the crowns would even be lovely for the little boys in your life. I guess her planning is rubbing off on me - she has me starting early too!
- Lace Knit Crown ($32, Lace and Cable)

No matter where you are in America, the definition for fraud is pretty consistent: Making intentional misrepresentations to people in order to induce them to change their position to their detriment and your benefit. Since October 1, growing numbers of Americans are realizing that they have been the victims of fraud on a spectacular scale, thanks to Obama and the Democrats. That's why it's so ironic that Republicans have suddenly decided that Obamacare is here to stay.
As an example of people's growing disaffection, I offer a Facebook thread from true blue Marin County. In order to protect people's privacy, I've changed their names and slightly altered wording so that a computer search cannot tie this post to their Facebook accounts. Subject to that non-substantive massaging, the following is an entirely accurate replay of a post a Marin friend put up this morning, followed by comments from friends and neighbors (myself included):
Unhapppy Customer: My Blue Cross insurer is now the worst. I can't tell you how disappointed I am, because I used to get wonderful insurance from this company. Thanks, Obamacare!
Friend 1: Oh, dear. That's my insurer too.
Friend 2: I get my insurance from [a non-Blue Cross company]. I make too much money to get an Obamacare subsidy, but I cannot afford very good coverage. I make too much money for Obamacare, and not enough to afford really good coverage. I just had an outpatient surgery the other day, and it's going to cost me almost $9,000.
Unhappy Customer: I'm really sorry to hear that, Friend 2. I also don't get subsidies, so I have to pay for everything. The promise was free preventative care, but that's not what's happening. Instead, I'll have to pay out-of-pocket if I want to see my long-time doctors, because none of them are in the Blue Cross network.
Friend 3: I couldn't agree more. I used to like my Blue Cross Plan. Under Obamacare, though, almost none of my medications are covered. Worse, my deductible has gotten so high, it's the same as being uninsured for most things.
Friend 4: It wasn't the recession that killed America's middle class. It's Obamacare that's doing the job.
Bookworm: It's shocking that, back in 2009, people actually believed the government could mandate vastly more coverage (a lot of which people don't want), plus huge subsidies, while simultaneously lowering everyone's premiums by $2,500 per year, not to mention promising that they could keep their doctors and their hospitals.
It's especially amazing that we were supposed to believe all this could happen when it was overseen by the same state and local governments that destroyed Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and that gave us the wonders of the DMV.
The con should have been obvious, but everyone was so swept away in the rapture of the moment, they couldn't or wouldn't acknowledge the problem.
Since I put the above into this post, someone added the usual comment insisting that we should go to Medicare entirely. She backed off, though, when I pointed out rampant fraud in Medicare (do we really want more of that?), as well as the fact that those countries that have single payer have better access but worse outcomes. I then suggested to everyone in the thread that the open market, where consumers are more in touch with costs — a marketplace without layers of employers, insurance, and government regulations — could lead to both better service and lower costs. The person in favor of Medicare actually thought that the open market wasn't a terrible idea.
I'll keep you posted if any other interesting comments pop up on that Facebook thread.

Have you been watching the Tour? We sure have here at the office, and it's certainly lived up to it's billing as cycling's highest drama this year. We've seen highs, lows, and everything in between. From the sublime mountain battles between Andy Schleck and Alberto Contador, to the (sometimes too feisty) sprint battles between Mark Cavendish, Alessandro Petacchi, Thor Hushovd and Tyler Farrar (although he'll be sitting out the rest of the Tour), to the just plain bad luck of Lance Armstrong and Cadel Evans, there's been a lot on offer for the cycling fan!
But the cool part is, there's still a week to go before a new champion is crowned. And the extra cool part–we're going to have a man on the scene to report back on a first-hand experience watching the Tour! Yes, our own David is headed to France this weekend, courtesy of Europeds. He'll be reporting back from road daily to give you a you-are-there account of what it's like to experience the Tour in all its glory, all part of our efforts to Celebrate the Tour.
OK, so what can you expect from our man in France? First up on the agenda, nothing less than the Tourmalet, the highest point on the Tour this year at nearly 7,000 feet high (a mountain that caused Octave Lapize to famously call Tour officials "assasins" for making the racers climb it for the first time 100 years ago)! David will be hopping on his trusty Fuji SL-1 to battle the beautiful but imposing slopes of the Tourmalet as the real riders of the Tour work their way down to the Pyrenees (but he will be bringing a few more gears than Lapize had at his disposal). Of course he'll bring his camera to document the whole experience for this blog.
Next up, David will tackle another famous pass in the Pyrenees, the Col d'Aubisque, but this time it will be to watch the madness that is sure to erupt on Stage 16 of the Tour. David will be in amongst the throngs that line the mountain roads of the Tour, to watch riders up close and personal, but also to take in the whole atmosphere that comes along with this great traveling spectacle (including the massive publicity caravan both before and after the racers fly by).
The Tour riders have a rest day after Stage 16, so David will take this opportunity to explore the countryside with Europeds to take in the scenic beauty on offer in this southernmost part of France. But the next day the Tour is back in action, so David will be there to check out what should be quite the battle on Stage 17 (as the route heads back to the Tourmalet for a summit finish). This could be the spot where the Tour is decided this year, but as a special bonus David will get you some behind-the-scenes access this day, to get a little taste of what it takes to make a Tour team tick.
After the battles of the Pyrenees, the Tour winds it way to the wine country of Bordeaux. The individual time trial of Stage 19 will mark the last real chance that anyone will have to sway the balance of the Tour, if there is any doubt after the epic mountain battles in the Pyrenees. Of course David will be there at the finish, to watch the riders rocket to the finish in a last grasp for glory.
So are you excited yet? David sure is, and he's ready to share this whole experience with you. Check the Performance Bicycle Blog daily for updates from France, and let David know in the comments if you've got any tips or questions while he's on the road. Like we said, it's time to bring on the Tour!

Following the UK's vote to leave the European Union (EU), we consider the potential implications for non-governmental organisations (NGOs) whose activities are funded by the EU.
Key issue
In order to be eligible for EU funding under EU rules for external actions, NGOs have to meet a nationality requirement. In principle, an NGO having its effective establishment in an EU country is eligible, whereas foreign NGOs are not automatically entitled to receive EU funding.
Potential impact
The European Commission grants aid to NGOs in particular for activities aimed at reducing global poverty, ensuring sustainable economic, social and environmental development and promoting democracy, the rule of law, good governance and the respect of human rights (DEVCO), as well as saving and preserving life, preventing and alleviating human suffering and safeguarding the integrity and dignity of populations affected by natural disasters and man-made crises (ECHO).
To be entitled to receive EU funds, NGOs must fulfil certain eligibility criteria, including the nationality rule. NGOs that are registered and have their decision-making centre in a Member State of the EU automatically fulfil the nationality rule. However the nationality rule varies depending on the instrument pursuant to which the subsidy will be granted. Under certain instruments, only NGOs effectively established in the EU would be eligible to EU funds, and under others, NGOs of third countries might also see their activities subsidised by the EU.
Following Brexit, NGOs that are registered and have their centre of decision-making in the UK would no longer be automatically eligible to EU funding. Furthermore, such NGOs might have their existing grant agreements or participation terminated by the European Commission, thereby losing the benefit of expected EU funds. Even if UK NGOs are not themselves beneficiaries of EU funds, because they are not signatories to particular grant agreements, Brexit may lead to a situation where the costs they incur to implement an EU-funded action - for instance as a subcontractor - can no longer be covered by those funds.
- NGOs should understand the implications of a change to their status under current EU grant agreements, and as regards future calls for proposals to fund specific activities.
- As regards grants requested after Brexit, NGOs should also be conscious of potential consequences, including sanctions, where they have been the recipient of EU funds, even indirectly, whereas they were not eligible in the first place.
- UK NGOs that wish to continue operating with EU funding following Brexit will need to evaluate the extent to which they are or might be at odds with the relevant nationality rule.
- Once the terms of Brexit become clearer, it might be advisable to carry out an audit of current EU funded agreements in order to have an overview of the grants that are potentially at risk and to determine a risk profile for future calls for proposals. Should the NGO be engaged in actions that are subject to strict nationality rules, it may be necessary to adopt flexible business models and be aware of the need for potential restructurings, both at a corporate and operational level.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - A 52.6 percent shooting performance from the floor helped propel Babson College to a 77-39 win over MIT in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's basketball game on Tuesday. Suzy Ward led the Beavers (5-6, 1-0 NEWMAC) with 19 points and seven rebounds while Clara Yuan notched nine points for the Engineers (3-9, 0-2 NEWMAC).
Linsey Poulson sank a jumper on Babson's first possession, which was immediately followed by a three-pointer from Yuan to give MIT its only lead. A pair of free throws by Colleen Burke put the Beavers ahead for good after 1:41 had expired in the game. The Engineers stayed close for most of the frame, trailing by six (17-11) at the 9:40 mark. A basket by the Beavers a minute later ignited a run that resulted in a 43-23 advantage in the intermission.
Like the first half, Babson converted on its opening possession of the second stanza with a trey by Jill Walsh. MIT recorded six out of the next 10 points, but the Beavers continued to find success from the floor. Babson was able to maintain its comfortable margin as the Engineers experienced several scoring droughts during the rest of the game.
Sharon Prange contributed nine points, five rebounds and two blocks for MIT while Christa Margossian tallied eight points and seven boards. Amy Marshall bolstered the Engineers' rebounding corps by grabbing seven caroms coming off the bench.
Burke and Caitlin Boulier reached double-digits in points while each dished out four assists for Babson. Burke posted 12 points as Boulier totaled 11. Nicole McManus registered a game-high five blocks after collecting four in the first half. Vanessa Lovering picked up seven rebounds in 13 minutes of play in the second half.
Both teams will host NEWMAC opponents in its next games. Babson will face Wellesley College on Thursday, Jan. 11 at 7:00 p.m. while MIT will meet up with WPI on Saturday, Jan. 13 for a 1:00 p.m. tip off.
