Second period summary: Bruins-Penguins |
03.07.10 at 4:35 pm ET |
With the Penguins handing the Bruins multiple opportunities with penalties, it was just a matter of time before Boston broke through.
Evgeni Malkin won the dubious distinction of being the man who committed the penalty (hooking – 2:15) that helped get the Bruins on the board. David Krejci put the puck in the crease and banged on it to the point that Marc-Andre Fleury fell flat on his stomach though not quite on top of the puck. Blake Wheeler then snuck in and swept the puck out from under the goaltender for his 14th goal of the season that gave Boston a 1-0 lead at 3:12.
The Penguins came back in 5-0n-5 at 8:57 in a similar scenario to Wheeler's goal. Pascal Dupuis swept around the goal only to be semi-stuffed by Tim Thomas but the forward stayed on the puck and it trickled passed Thomas to tie the game at one apiece.
Michael Ryder took a slashing penalty at 3:43 in the period but Boston was able to kill it off. In the middle of the period the teams played two-minutes of 4-on-4 as Ruslan Fedotenko and Mark Stuart got in a tangle in the crease in front of Thomas that led to matching roughing penalties.
Shots in period (total):
Boston — 8 (11)
Pittsburgh — 11 (21)
First period summary: Bruins-Penguins |
03.07.10 at 3:45 pm ET |
Tim Thomas got his third straight start for the Bruins as Tuukka Rask is still listed as day-to-day with a knee injury he suffered last Tuesday against Montreal. Thomas has a tough task against the explosive and deep Penguins who feature Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby and Jordan Staal down the center positions. Thomas has been up to the task so far with 10 saves in a scoreless period.
The Bruins got the first power play opportunity at 5:29 on a tripping call to Brooks Orpik but could not convert. The Penguins gave Boston another chance at 11:05 on a high-stick by Mark Eaton but the Bruins could not even muster a shot against the aggressive penalty kill. The Bruins are now 2-11 on the man-advantage since the Olympic break. Pittsburgh has been killed all 12 shorthand scenarios it has faced in the same period.
A third penalty in the period was called against Ruslan Fedotenko at 18:42 and the Bruins will start on the man-advantage for the first 42-seconds of the second period.
Through it all Boston only has three shots on goal and have not seriously threatened Penguins' goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.
Patrice Bergeron is back in action for Boston after missing the first three games after the Olympic break with a groin injury
Scoreless after one at Mellon Arena.
Shots on goal:
Bruins — 3
Penguins — 10
The Hat Trick: Should B's stick with Tim? |
03.06.10 at 6:31 pm ET |
The Bruins came out flying against the Islanders Saturday at Nassau Coliseum, and though they ended up beating the East's third-worst team by just one goal, Claude Julien will take it. Considering the team has won six of their last seven, yet at 69 points could be two losses (and two Rangers/Canadiens wins) away from going from seventh to out of the playoffs, he'll take anything he can get.
The 3-2 win wasn't necessarily pretty, and, as evidenced by Marc Savard's disgustingly lucky second-period goal and Michael Ryder's game misconduct, neither was the scoring sheet. Still, on a day where the Islanders swarmed Tim Thomas for the final two periods but still couldn't break the Bruins' impressive penalty kill, there was enough good to go around in the Bruins win.
There was plenty to take away from a win that the team will need to build upon if they want any chance at defeating Sidney Crosby and the Penguins on Sunday. For starters, the dynamic between Miroslav Satan and David Krejci truly is a beautiful thing to watch. After his second period goal Krejci told NESN that the two Europeans complement each other so well because the similarities in their style of play lead to a predictability as to what the other will do. They certainly kept if from Dwaye Roloson well.
Also, the Bruins continued to show their nack for scoring the first goal. Milan Lucic's goal at 18:26 of the first, his sixth of the season, marked the ninth time in the Bruins' last 10 games that they scored the game's first goal.
Here are the other intriguing storylines that stemmed from the victory:
Two days after leading the Bruins to a shootout victory against the Maple Leafs, Tim Thomas made 37 saves to secure the victory in Saturday's matinee. All of this, of course, has taken place while Tuukka Rask has been nursing a knee injury.
So how quick should Claude Julien be to dust off the Vezina and give most of the remaining starts to Thomas? After all, with the Bruins having won six of their last seven, Rask was between the pipes for the first four (and perhaps the only real difficult opponent in Buffalo).
The statistical edge would go to the 22-year old Rask, who has just eight losses on the season and has the lower GAA (a league-best 2.14) and save percentage (.926). He's also lost just eight games to Thomas' 15, though that will happen when you play around 400 minutes less than the other guy.
Still, even with the numbers leaning in the Rask's favor, the last time the Bruins went into the playoffs riding the regular-season success of a young goaltender, they failed to escape the first round behind Calder Trophy-winning Andrew Raycroft.
Whoever the Bruins, who with 162 goals against have given up the third-least amount of goals in the East, elect to go with as their No. 1 goaltender, time is running out to settle on who the man will potentially be come the playoffs. In order for the Bruins to avoid the fate of the Flyers with Hextall/Snow, Wild with Fernandez/Roloson, and other teams whose goaltending carousel failed their playoff expectations, Julien needs to make up his mind.
It had been 18 games since Marc Savard had scored for the Bruins, and he used an oddity of Nassau Coliseum to his advantage to finally do so on Saturday. A goal's a goal any way you slice it, and nobody said they have to be pretty. And if what happened Saturday will help him make up for missed time with a little more scoring, that's just fine.
A missed slapshot from Patrice Bergeron while the Bruins were on the power play in the second period seemed harmless enough to Islanders goaltender and Rick-Depietro-replacement-of-the-year Dwane Roloson, but the funny bounce it took off of the glass to the right of the Islanders net helped it squirt back in front to Savard, who seemed to be the only one on the ice still following the puck. He used his skate to kick it over to his stick and effortlessly backhanded it into the empty net for his tenth goal of the season.
Again: pretty? Certainly not. Game-winning goal and maybe a momentum-shifter? Sure, why not? The Bruins have had a need for more scoring all season, so who is anyone to turn their nose at any added (albeit ugly) offensive output from their high-profile playmaker?
While the Bruins await word from the NHL regarding whether they will have Michael Ryder in their lineup in future games, the five minutes following his frightening hit from behind on Islanders winger Blake Comeau is what kept the Bruins from losing their grip on against the Islanders on Saturday.
The five-minute major came in a second period during which the Islanders fired 22 shots on Tim Thomas, so the idea of being shorthanded when the Islanders had found more life than they had perhaps in the entire game was certainly not an appetizing thought for the Bruins. Especially with the added bonus that they would open the third period down a man.
Though the Bruins allowed a rare power-play goal to Josh Bailey at 2:18 earlier in the period, it was what they did on the five-minute major that sent the message. With a 2-1 lead Tim Thomas and the Bruins stopped the Islanders and their six shots, reminding Scott Gordon and the rest of the league that though they certainly have their flaws, the Bruins are perhaps at their best when down a man.
The Bruins remain the league's best penalty-killing team and it clearly gave them an edge in which they were unexpectedly peppered for the second and third periods. With the goaltending starting to take better shape with the improved play of Thomas and the eventual return of Rask, it will be a huge asset should the Bruins secure a playoff spot.
Bruins top Islanders, 3-2 |
03.06.10 at 4:55 pm ET |
Summary — The Bruins began their seven-game road trip in fine fashion, beating the Islanders, 3-2, at Nassau Coliseum on Saturday afternoon.
Shots came early and often from the Bruins, and by the time the Islanders caught up to (and eventually surpassed) their pace, it was Tim Thomas who proved to be heroic once again for the Bruins.
Marc Savard scored for the first time in 19 games and it wouldn't have come without some help. After a Patrice Bergeron slapshot from the point missed Dwayne Roloson's net stickside, the puck took a funny bounce while Roloson was out of position. Savard corraled it and slid it in on the backhand for the powerplay goal. It was the Bruins' final goal of the game and proved to be the game-winner.
Though the Bruins came out on top and scored two of their three goals after the first period, the balance of the game changed dramatically in the second period. After outscoring the Islanders, 15-4, in the first period, Claude Julien's club added just 19 more shots the rest of the game while the Islanders had 34 shots in the final two periods.
Things were so lopsided in the first period that it appeared that the Bruins could fall victim of a low-scoring game despite tons of offensive pressure applied. That changed when Milan Lucic scored his sixth of the season from the circle at 18:26. David Krejci added his 12th goal of the season at 14:56 of the second period.
The Bruins needed to put the league's best penalty kill after a scary moment late in teh second period. With 3:54 remaining Michael Ryder was given a five-minute major and game misconduct for hitting Blake Comeau from behind in the corner. Comeau remained on the ice as Ryder skated to the locker room, and after the Islanders winger returned to his feet the Bruins killed the penalty, which carried over into the third period.
Three Stars
Tim Thomas — Though it appeared the Bruins goaltender could have used an iPod in an uneventful first period, he survived 39 Islanders shots and secured the win by allowing only two past him.
Mark Stuart — The defenseman was a +2 and helped orchestrate the Krejci goal.
Matt Moulson — Were it not for Daniel Seidenberg, Moulson would have had two goals. Still, his third-period tally made it a game again.
Turning point — Ryder's five-minute major led to an effective penalty right as the Islanders were hitting their stride offensively. Though they were able to get on the board in the third period, the Bruins were able to silence a buzzing Islanders offense when they were pestering Thomas the most they had all game.
Key Play — Savard's goal in the second period. It proved to mean more than just a tally on the scoreboard when Josh Bailey was stopped by Thomas on a very similar play in the final minute of the second period. The two plays gave evidence to the fact that on where shots were abundant, the Bruins got the bounces that the Islanders didn't get.
Second period summary: Bruins-Islanders |
03.06.10 at 3:48 pm ET |
With Patrice Bergeron in the box, Mark Streit, off a feed from Kyle Okposo, sent a shot in on Thomas from the circle. Thomas, unsure of there the puck was, satyed totally still as Josh Bailey knocked it in at 17:42 to tie the game at one goal apiece.
Quick puck movement from Mark Stuart and Miroslav Satan and finally to David Krejci put the Bruins back on top shortly thereafter at 14:46. It was Krejci's 12th of the season.
After failing to put either of their two shots from their first powerplay past Dwayne Roloson, a Dylan Reese interfence penalty gave the Bruins a shot at redemption. They made good with a little help from Nassau Colliseum.
A slapshot from Patrice Bergeron took an odd bounce off the glass to the right of Dwayne Roloson and shot back to the right of the Islanders goaltender. Marc Savard took control of it with with his foot and backhanded it into the empty net for his 10th goal of the season.
Scary moment with 3:54 remaining when Michael Ryder crushed Blake Comeau and left him motionless for a few minutes in the corner. Comeau got up and skated off the ice and Ryder was given a five-minute major for hitting from behind in addition to a game misconduct.
After the Bruins dominated offensively in the first period, the Islanders outshot the B's in the second, 22-12, to bring the total shots on goal to 28-26 in favor of Boston.
First period summary: Bruins-Islanders |
03.06.10 at 2:50 pm ET |
The Bruins seem to have gotten a shot of energy with the return of Patrice Bergeron, and Islanders netminder Dwayne Roloson is taking the brunt of it.
After dominating offensively in a period in which they would outshoot the Islanders by a margin of 16-4, Milan Lucic took a feed from Shawn Thornton of a Dennis Wideman shot and beat Dwayne Roloson from the top of the circle at 18:26. It was the period's only goal, but minutes earlier the Islanders came close.
With just over seven minutes remaining, an Islanders shot from the point led to a sprawling Tim Thomas giving up a juicy rebound for winger Matt Moulson. Daniel Seidenberg came to the rescue and cleared it out to prevent the Islanders from taking the lead.
Aside from the aforementioned bid, it was a pretty uneventful affair around Thomas' net, though the Islanders did increase their offensive output in the second half of the period.
Jon Sim went off for tripping at 1:27, the only penalty of the game thus far.
Boychuk admits 'Oh, no' feeling first game back |
03.05.10 at 3:52 pm ET |
It's rare when a hockey player admits the slightest amount of fear on the ice. It's that lack of fear that separates those in the sport from many others.
But on Thursday at TD Garden, Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk acknowledged that he had a few scary flashbacks to Feb. 6 on the same ice when Mikael Samuelsson's slapshot hit him just to the side of his left eye, causing him to miss the final four games before the Olympic break and Tuesday's game with Montreal.
But those fears were calmed somewhat when he let loose one of his own booming slapshots in the second period, beating J-S Giguere and giving the Bruins a 2-1 lead over Toronto.
"If felt good, actually," Boychuk said of his return. "There was a couple of times where I just have to get back into things, I guess. Just little things, I guess, but overall it felt great."
"It felt better if there was a slap shot coming from the point that I had a visor on. There were a couple of times when somebody wound up and I was like, 'Oh, no' and a flashback of that shot hitting me in the eye or side of the head so it's just nice having that little extra protection."
Boychuk said the piece of mind was more than worth the minor inconvenience of extra eye protection.
"I just have to wipe it down every once and a while from all the sweat," he said. "That's about it."
It was that cannon of a slapper that earned Boychuk a place on the Bruins roster and possible future offensive force on the B's blueline.

Saturday, November 17, 2012 3:18 PM Reply@naodx
There are postive reviews for this item,and it is advertised as being able to transfer data,so I don't see any reason why this would be a bad cable :)unhappy and grumpy about DX
Sunday, November 18, 2012 12:07 PM ReplyHi,
I asked that because there another cable (3m length) and some pople say that it works and some people say that it doesn't. The cable which comes with every phone is about 1m and longer cables reduces the effectiveness so maybe in this case for one person it does work but we don't have more reviews.
Thank you anyways :)

A Community Garden occurs when you take a piece of land and share it with friends, neighbors and community groups for growing vegetables, fruits and flowers. Benefits to the larger community include beautifying the area, turning unused spaces into productive spaces and numerous environmental benefits. Many community gardens also provide food to local food banks.
Individual benefits include increasing feelings of community involvement and pride, health benefits from eating nutritionally rich foods and from increased activity for physical health. Community gardens provide "hands-on" learning opportunities about gardening, the natural world, food and nutrition and more. A quote from Mesa's Care Partnership website sums it up best:
This experience taught us that the community garden produces much more than food; it is a place where a sense of belonging and relationships between people from all walks of life easily evolve.

Can we change stream after
arts to commerce
Hi Zainab,
It is actually not possible to change your stream from arts to commerce but you can still try and talk to your teachers and school authorities about it. If you have a good score in your 10th
then probably you will be able to. Otherwise you can opt for changing your school as well if you are getting it and if you like it.
Best Wishes!

Bandit finds FrerardBandit is 8."Hey honey, did you have a good day at school?" Lyn-Z's voice rang out down the hallway from the kitchen, as she heard the front door open and close, and her daughter's light footsteps."It was okay I guess." Bandit's high pitched voice called back. "We had music and art today! It was awesome!" Lyn-Z smiled. Bandit was so much like her and Gerard- Bandit's father who was on tour with his band, My Chemical Romance."I'm proud of you sweetheart!" She shouted back. "Auntie Jamia came round earlier; she dropped off the final version of Leathermouth's new album." Bandit grinned. She loved the band that her Uncle Frank was in, even if her friends at school thought that it was just noise. She walked into the kitchen and leaned against a chair, reaching for the cookie jar in the middle of the table. Lyn-Z noticed. "You can have one." She said, emphasising the word 'one'. Bandit took a double chocolate cookie, and stuffed it into her mouth, swallowing it in a matter of seconds."He
The Frerard Problem10pm at the Iero residence;Ring ring. Ring ring. Jamia answered the phone."Iero residence." She sighed, exhausted."Jamia! It's Gee. I need to speak to Frank." Gerard sounded urgent on the other end of the line."I'll go get him. Give me a second." Jamia placed the receiver on the side and tiptoed up the stairs. She glanced into the twins' bedroom and smiled to herself. Cherry and Lily were squashed into Cherry's single bed, and intertwined in each other's embrace as they slept. Despite living in a 5 bedroom house and having the option of their own bedroom, the two girls demanded that they should share a room. Jamia marvelled at how close they had stayed as they had gotten older. She opened the door to Frank's 'study'. In actual fact, the room was where he went for peace and quiet, to write music. The walls were covered with photos of the twins, and also of his two bands- My Chemical Romance and LeATHERMOUTH. Jamia's favourite photo was of herself, Frank, Gerard Mikey and Ray and all
Bandit gets too smart...The journey home from the airport was long and relatively silent, due to the embarrassment of the adults. The only people talking were Bandit, Cherry and Lily, who had inconsequential whispered conversations. Bandit, the twins, Lyn-Z, Jamia, Frank and Gerard piled into Lyn-Z's 'practical seven-seater', as Gerard had described it when he'd bought it for her. Bandit and the twins sat in a row in the middle of the car, with Gerard and Frank in the back and Jamia and Lyn-Z in the front. Frank was still blushing slightly, and Gerard still appeared shell-shocked. Bandit was sat in the middle of the twins, and could hear her mum and Auntie Jamia tittering quietly to themselves about her Daddy and Uncle Frankie. Lyn-Z pulled over at the Iero house, and Frank and Jamia got out of the car. Gerard climbed out too, and got into the front with Lyn-Z. Jamia opened the door for Cherry and Frank opened the door for Lily, and they each climbed out. Bandit was upset when she noticed that her
Frerard interrogation29 Days later .Bandit woke at 5am, ran into her parents' room and jumped on her Mum's sleeping form."Daddy's coming home today! Daddy's coming home today!" She shouted gleefully. Lyn-Z swatted her hand at her."Bandit, it's five in the morning. We don't have to get up for another two hours. Climb into bed with me and go back to sleep." Bandit burrowed under the covers and nestled herself in next to her mum, trying desperately to sleep again, but she was just too excited. After 5 minutes, Lyn-Z decided that it was a lost cause."I'm awake anyway sweetheart, we might as well start getting ready." Bandit and Lyn-Z spent the next few hours getting ready and cleaning the house, ready for Bandit's Daddy to come home to.10amBandit held onto her Lyn-Z's hand tightly as she pulled her through the sea of people crowding the airport. They had arrived with Bandit's Auntie Jamia and best friends Cherry and Lily, but the airport was so densely packed with people that Bandit couldn't see the
On Tour With MCR Pt.47:30am the next morning.BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. What the hell? What was that noise? I opened my eyes groggily and sat up, taking in my surroundings. The unfamiliar black quilt and grey sheets, the dark wood bunk and the privacy curtain separating me from whatever was outside. With a jolt, I remembered where I was."Ughhhhhhhhhhh. I hate mornings." Gerard mumbled from his bunk."Seconded, bro." Ray's agreement."Just turn it off!" I cried helplessly. I heard the chuckles of five men."No can do." Ray muttered. "The thing's on a timer- it'll switch off automatically in ten minutes. We need to get up." I struggled out from my warm cocoon of blankets and pulled back the privacy curtain, looking out into the bunking area. Mikey was sat up in bed, wearing glasses because he couldn't be bothered with contacts. Gerard was sat with his legs hanging off of his bunk above Mikey, wearing a pair of batman pyjamas. Ray was standing up next to Gerard's bunk, his 'fro knotted and tangled from
SING IT FOR SKYE AND SARAHDear Skye and Sarah, Your deaths have robbed this world of two great people, of amazing beauty. No one deserves to die for simply wearing a shirt. You had so much potential and so many dreams that have been taken from you for loving a different style of music. It is wrong and it never should have happened. You don't know how sick to my stomach I was when I heard what happened. It just goes to show how sick, twisted, and malicious humanity can be. My lovely fellow Killjoys, I solemnly bid you peace in the Black Parade. Your memories will carry on and we will never forget brave soldiers like you. We all love you, no matter what. We are your family, through Life and Death and we will always hold you in our hearts.Xx Eth xXAwake and Unafraid... Asleep or Dead?I wish I could say you were just asleep...
Half,Gerard and I once shared a room about a year ago. Before he left. We weren't the richest family. One bed was what we had in our room. A queen sized bed. It cost less than 2 twin beds or a bunk bed. Gerard and I didn't really mind sleeping in the same bed. It was kind of nice to me. I liked him being there..."Night, Mikey," Gerard whispered to me, placing a kiss on my forehead. "Love you," he added."Night, Gee - Gee. I love you too," I responded.As I finished my sentence, Gerard turned around, his back now facing me. I never really liked when he'd turn his back to me. I liked him facing me. I wanted to see his face before I fell asleep.My hand reached up and grabbed a little of his shirt, holding it tight as if he were being pulled away from me. I think holding his shirt comforts me. Thats how I fall asleep when ever he doesn't look at me. I closed my eyes and slept.I miss holding onto his shirt. It was the only thing that made me feel safe, him being here. He's gone now, th
Save Yourself MFRCONTESTENTRYBang.A gunshot rang out in the air and then war started. Shots fired everywhere. Blood contaminated the floor, as well as dead bodies and corpses. Fun Ghoul, Jet Star, and my younger brother, Kobra Kid were all fighting as best as they could, which was very well. Veins bulged out of their fingers as they lay on their triggers. BL/ind workers dropped to the floor, deceased from gun wounds.They had an unfair advantage; we were only four and they were coming in hundreds. However, we shot them with ease.Boom! I shot a BL/ind worker straight in the chest. Sweat dribbled on my forehead. It felt like we had been fighting for an eternity, but it was only a couple of minutes.Out of nowhere, I feel a sharp pain in the back of my right calf. Warm, red blood oozes from it. I sunk to the floor, covering my leg with my palm. It's no use. Blood seeps through the openings between my fingers and onto the smooth, white floor.I place my back against the wall, while ducking from gunshots fired
MCRThe only reason people hate MCR is because the entire rock genre is an easy target because it's so different. People and society are scared of what they don't understand. MCR saved my life, and continue to every day. People need to stop just looking at what's on the surface because there's always so much more. I'm 15 year old who's still here because I found a band that saved me, and what can only be called a life-changing experience with music and not the God who was supposed to help me when I called. I gave up on God when he couldn't save me but four guys from New Jersey could.

The OSCAR Revolution
It took nearly a full year, but OSCAR had a beta demonstration at SC2000 in Dallas, Texas at the Oak Ridge National Lab booth in November 2000. The beta was run on a heterogeneous cluster of servers provided by Dell and SGI. The first release was announced shortly thereafter and made a successful debut at LinuxWorld Expo in New York City in February 2001, at the Intel booth. Since then, there have been continuous improvements in the OSCAR software stack, which currently includes:
Linux installation: SIS (system installation suite). SIS is an open-source cluster installation tool based on the merger of LUI (the Linux utility for cluster install) and the popular SystemImager. SIS, developed by Michael Chase-Salerno and Sean Dague from IBM, made its debut in the 1.2.1 version of OSCAR. Most recently, Brian Finley of Bald Guy Software, the creator of SystemImager, has been attending the OSCAR meetings and looking for free beer, as in free beer.
Security: OpenSSH—the most common way to allow secure connections in a Linux environment. OpenSSH is a collection of packages that handles secure connections, server-side SSH services, secure key generation and any other functions used to support secure connections between computers.
Cluster management: for cluster-wide management operations, OSCAR uses the Cluster Command and Control (C3) management package developed at Oak Ridge National Lab by Stephen Scott and Brian Luethke, an East Tennessee State University student working at ORNL. C3 provides a "single-system illusion" so that a single command affects the entire cluster. C3 remains installed on the cluster nodes for later use by cluster users and administrators.
Programming environments: Message-Passing Interface (MPI) and Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM). Most cluster users write the software that runs on the cluster. There are many different ways to write software for clusters. The most common approach is to use a message-passing library. Currently, compilers or math libraries installed by OSCAR come from the Linux distribution. Both LAM/MPI and MPICH have been available since OSCAR 1.1.
Workload management: Portable Batch System (PBS) from Veridian and Maui Scheduler (developed by Maui High Times Computing Center). To time-share a cluster, some type of workload or job management is needed. Maui acts as a job scheduler for OSCAR, making all resource allocation and scheduling decisions. PBS is the job server/launcher and in addition to launching and killing jobs, handles job queues.
MSC.Linux, a distribution developed by the Systems Division of MSC.Software Corporation, is of special importance in the acceptance of OSCAR. Shortly after the 1.0 version of OSCAR was available, MSC.Software announced their own cluster solution, the MSC.Linux Version 2001 operating system. This 2001 offering was in large part based on OSCAR, the first commercial offering based on the work of the OCG. MSC.Software's Joe Griffin added a Webmin interface to LUI (the first OSCAR cluster installation tool), which generated LUI bottom-line commands for multiple nodes to provide an easy-to-use interface in defining the nodes of the cluster and what resources to install on each. One of the original intents of the OCG was that commercial companies would see the value in the open OSCAR software stack and build their own proprietary or open stacks around the OSCAR stack. In so doing, companies using OSCAR would be freed from the mundane chores associated with building a cluster, such as providing the basic infrastructure, and could concentrate instead on more cutting-edge improvements to distinguish their offering.
Like other far-flung open-source projects, it was clear from the beginning that doing the work of the consortium face to face would not always be an option. The travel expense was simply too great, and it was difficult to align so many schedules. To coordinate the work, the group held open weekly phone conferences and would rely on mailing lists and an occasional meeting at a workshop or expo. There were face-to-face "integration parties" held quarterly, one at Intel in Hillsboro, Oregon and another at NCSA in Illinois. But for integrations held between meetings, a new construct was developed, called DIP Day, for distributed integration party. The intent of DIP Days was that everyone working on the project that had a cluster would set aside those days to work on OSCAR, jointly and remotely. Everyone would download the OSCAR package and install and run it, reporting any bugs to the group. On DIP Days, programmers were expected to provide fixes in real time, so that multiple iterations of the code could be tested shortly. Several conference calls with the entire team were held every DIP Day to assess progress and assign new work and priorities. By loosely coordinating the group between DIPs and face-to-face meetings, OSCAR made great strides in reliability and function.

As Senior Executive Manager of Product Operational Testing (POT) at the Maui "High Times" Computing Center, let me say that we're like totally stoked that the OSCAR dudes are using Maui Wowee scheduler in their groovy software!
We're gonna be like helping out with their upcoming Benchmark Oscar for the Next Generation (BONG) project. Oops maybe I wasn't sposed to mention that yet, but kudos all around and oh yeah I forgot to mention that we now print all of our documentation on like organically grown hemp stock. But it mostly just gives you a headache (reading or smoking it). Bummer.
Ericsson and OSCAR
One of the projects at the Open Systems Lab (Ericsson Research) is the ARIES project
that targets improving the clustering capabilities of Linux to fulfill the carrier class requirements. ARIES shares some overlapping activities with the OSCAR project. However, the typical Ericsson Linux cluster supports many high-end characteristics that are not available on an OSCAR cluster.
Telecommunication systems are one of the several potential specialized platforms that can take full advantage of clustering. These systems support some of the most stringent requirements in terms of reliability, availability, and scalability. They must be available 99.999 percent of the time which includes hardware and software upgrades (including operating system) for any mission critical server applications. Among these characteristics are build-in redundancy schemes at different levels such as redundant Ethernet connections, redundant Network File System servers, and software RAID support for data redundancy, special methods for booting diskless nodes, optimized traffic distribution and
load balancing schemes and so on.

Re: The OSCAR Revolution
OSCAR 1.2.1rh72 is available, which supports RedHat 7.2. Future versions will support Mandrake distributions as well.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Well, the only real difference is you don't assign a home directory and a shell. I don't know about the home directory. But, when you don't assign a shell... Here, from the PASSWD(5) man page: <quote> The home directory field provides the name of the initial working directory. Login uses this information to set the value of the HOME environmental variable. The command interpreter field provides the name of the user's command language interpreter, or the name of the initial program to execute. Login uses this information to set the value of the SHELL environmental variable. If this field is empty, it defaults to the value /bin/sh. </quote> /dev/null can have an effect depending how your login program is configured. /bin/false is always unsuccessful. So, there is no useable cli. Also be sure that /etc/shadow, if you use shadow, contains: bin:!:XXXXX:X:XXXXX:X::: | | | | | |= you won't see "X". I put "X" to indicate "not important". | |= passwd. "!" indicates a locked account. |= user The most important thing is that the account be locked (L). To be sure, simply do a `/usr/bin/passwd -S bin'. You should see a big "L" along with other useful info of course. Setting the shell as /bin/false is just for extra assurance. This is the easiest way on Linux. Other UNIX systems actually have a program for use with no login accounts.

Pacers 104, Cavaliers 98, OT
One of Indiana's players wrestled Cleveland's furry mascot before the game. The Pacers then had to fight off the spunky Cavaliers.
Danny Granger made a 3-pointer in overtime and scored 23 points, and George Hill made a dagger 3-pointer in the extra session, lifting Indiana to a 104-98 victory on Wednesday night and allowing the Pacers to hold onto the No. 3 spot in the Eastern Conference for one more day.
David West added 19 points, Hill had 17 and Roy Hibbert finished with 11 rebounds, five assists and four blocks for Indiana, 6-1 in its last seven. The Pacers outscored the Cavs 10-4 in OT and stayed just ahead of Boston, Atlanta and Orlando in the standings.
This was a dogfight - playfully and literally.
During pregame introductions, West got into a mock fight with Moondog, the Cavs' floppy-eared mascot, who often interacts and teases opposing players. West accidentally struck the character in the mask, sending him to the hospital with an eye injury.
''I feel terrible about that, I really do,'' said West, who was visibly upset. ''We were just having fun. We were just messing around. I really hope he's OK. Make sure he knows I'm sorry.''
A Cavs spokesman said the mascot was checked out and released.
Hibbert thought Moondog was joking when he went down holding the head of his costume.
''For real?'' Hibbert said. ''We thought he (Moondog) was just playing when it happened. Oh man, that's crazy. I can't believe it happened. I've never heard anything like that in the NBA.''
Antawn Jamison scored 21 and Lester Hudson 19 for the Cavs, who dropped to a league-worst 0-5 in overtime games. The Cavs, who were just 2 of 9 in the extra five minutes, were officially eliminated from the playoffs.
''We fought hard,'' Hudson said. ''We played very hard, but we just came up a little short.''
The Pacers should have put the Cavs away in regulation but Hill, starting in place of the injured Darren Collison, missed three free throws in the last 21 seconds.
West opened overtime with a bucket for the Pacers, who went without a field goal for a 6:41 stretch of the fourth that allowed the Cavs to overcome a 10-point deficit and open a seven-point lead.
Granger then nailed a 3-pointer, and after Hudson scored for Cleveland, Indiana's leading scorer made an 18-foot jumper to put the Pacers ahead 101-96. After Jamison misfired, Hill put the Cavs away with his 3, making it 104-96 with 53 seconds left.
It was some vindication for Hill, whose three missed free throws gave the Cavs late life and they tied it when Hudson, the D-League castoff who came in averaging 24.7 points in his past three games, dropped a sweet floater in the lane over West with 1.2 seconds to go.
The Pacers had one last chance in regulation, and Hibbert nearly made an impossible shot, arching an attempt from behind the backboard that bounced off the front of the rim.
Indiana finally took care of business in overtime.
''We knew we were in a tough fight tonight,'' West said. ''We're playing for home-court advantage, so there is no room for any slippage on our part.''
Indiana improved to 17-14 on the road, the club's first winning record outside Indiana in eight years.
Cleveland played its fifth straight game without rookie Kyrie Irving, who has a sprained right shoulder.
The Cavs were down 78-68 after Dahntay Jones dropped a 3-pointer for Indiana.
But Hudson heated up and the Cavs responded with an 18-1 run, taking an 86-79 lead on Omri Casspi's 3-pointer from the left wing. Hudson scored six points during the improbable run, which the Pacers helped by making four turnovers and missing four shots.
Indiana ended up going nearly seven minutes between field goals, with Hill's 3-pointer with 4:19 pulling the Pacers within 88-85.
Hill then converted on two drives and after Hibbert dunked, the Pacers appeared on their way to a win, leading 93-89 with 30 seconds left.
Hill, though, failed to put the game away at the line and the Pacers had to work an extra five minutes to hold onto their playoff seed.
''George Hill made some huge plays,'' said coach Frank Vogel. ''He's down on himself right now for missing those three free throws, but I told him he was the reason why we got the lead back. He was able to turn the corner and make some plays for us.''
Notes: Hill was getting treatment after the game and not available. ... Collison was inactive, but sat on the bench in warmups because he forgot to bring a sport coat on the overnight trip. The league requires any players not dressing to wear a suit jacket. ... Irving worked out with a trainer on the floor before the game, and coach Byron Scott ruled his young star out through Friday's game at Indiana. There's still a possibility the Cavs will shut down Irving, a virtual lock to be named the NBA's Rookie of the Year, the remainder of the season. ... Cavs C Anderson Varejao also remains sidelined after breaking his wrist on Feb. 10. There's also no clarity on when - or if - he'll be back. ... Cavs backup C Semih Erden left on crutches after rolling his ankle in the first half. X-rays were negative.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Making the most of movie momentum

By: NEIL POND, Special to The Post
Posted: Thursday, September 20, 2012 12:00 am
Like a familiar song goes, the hills of "Lawless" are alive. But the thing that keeps the Prohibition-era community of Appalachian mountain men humming in this movie isn't music, but moonshine.
Based on "The Wettest County in World," a 2008 historical novel by Matt Bondurant, the grandson of one of the story's main characters, "Lawless" is the saga of three backwoods brothers and their booming bootleg whiskey business in the early years of the Great Depression.
The ruthless Bondurant boys are legendary in their region of the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, even rumored to be immortal, impossible to kill. Forrest (Tom Hardy of "The Dark Knight") and Howard (Jason Clark) run their operation with brutal efficiency, paying off the local lawmen with a case or two of hooch to keep them looking the other way.
And any outsider who makes the mistake of crossing their path learns a hard, painful lesson. "I'm a Bondurant," growls Forrest. "We don't lay down for nobody."
The youngest brother, Jack (Shia LaBeouf), doesn't have Forrest or Howard's imposing build, their fearlessness or their taste for confrontation. But he desperately wants to prove himself a capable partner, something more than just the driver of their delivery truck.
Running moonshine is a dangerous business, as we learn in the opening sequence when Forrest comes to Jack's rescue in a dark downtown alley with a set of brass knuckles. But the danger takes a much darker turn with the arrival of a crusading "special deputy" from Chicago (Guy Pearce) on a mission to shut down the county's bustling bootlegging trade.
It doesn't take long to discover the detective, Charlie Rakes, is a preening peacock of a psychopath, and he's on a fateful collision course with the Bondurants. Soon the backwoods are flowing with blood.
These are violent people living violent lives in a violent tale set in a violent place in a violent time, and this is a violent movie. It's not for the squeamish. But the violence never seems gratuitous; it's essential grit to a gritty story. And for all the camera shows (every sickening blow of a prolonged beating Ricks administers to Jack, or the awful beginning of a tar-and-feathering), there are other equally unsettling things that it leaves just out of view, or completely to the imagination.
The ensemble cast is uniformly strong, especially Hardy as Forrest, the Bondurant brother of few words, many grunts, and an almost animalistic drive to survive. The always-dynamic Gary Oldman is underused as a citified gangster looking to make his move into the country-bumpkin whiskey business.
Providing lovely sweet spots in the middle of all the mayhem, Jessica Chastain plays a former Chicago showgirl looking to make a new start in the sticks, and Mia Wasikowska is a preacher's daughter who catches young Jack's wandering eye---which eventually leads to a catastrophic showdown.
A rip-roaring saga of a family living outside the law and willing to do whatever necessary to protect their way of life, regardless of the lines they had to cross, "Lawless" certainly lives up to its name.
And, like the kickapoo hillbilly brew slow-cooking in one of the Bondurant stills, it packs a punch that may be thrilling to some, but possibly a bit too strong and unsettling for some stomachs.

Wilmington was officially proclaimed to be "America's World War II City on Thursday. A distinction claimed by no other city. The renovation project was 11 years in the making and the building is one of "a handful" of USO buildings still standing in the country. The building opened in 1941 as a recreation center for armed service personnel and the center's lobby keeps the wartime appearance theme.
Former Wilmington Mayor Pro-Tem Hannah Block, the building's new namesake was known as "Mrs. World War II Wilmington.", she was sure taken aback by the refurbished building that was scheduled to be demolished a few years back: "It's exactly the way when I first walked in and it really does my heart to see that we have saved this place.
Colonel Charles Murray received the Medal of Honor for valor in France in 1944. He says the USO was a place to get away for a day. There were women to entertain.. and the jitterbug was quite popular: "If these old walls could talk they would be sailors and marines and airmen from the old Wilmington army airbase and from all over the place, even ships anchored in the river."
The building will serve as a community arts center. It will house a museum as well.

The Gold Accumulator
Rev. P.F. Jernegan
Jernegan called his device the Gold Accumulator. It consisted of a wooden box with holes cut through it to allow the free passage of water. Inside the box was a pan of mercury mixed with a secret ingredient. An electric current ran into the mercury via a wire attached to a small battery. The entire contraption was supposed to be lowered into the water and left overnight. The electrified mercury mixture would then suck precious metals out of the water. When raised in the morning, there would be gold.
Ryan agreed to test the invention. To guarantee no trickery, Jernegan declared that he wouldn't even be present during the test. He simply gave Ryan the device and told him how to use it.
Gold in Sea Water
The presence of gold in sea water had been discovered by the British chemist Edward Sonstadt in 1872. He estimated there was approximately one grain of gold in every ton of water. This was later confirmed by the Australian chemist Archibald Liversidge who further estimated there was $48,000,000,000,000 worth of gold in the oceans.These facts were widely known by 1896, but it was believed that the expense of extracting gold from sea water made the oceans an unprofitable source of the metal. However, it seemed plausible that Jernegan might have found a solution to this problem.

The Electrolytic Marine Salts Company
Original plant of the Electrolytic Marine Salts Company
An assayer estimated the gold to be worth $4.50 (about $100 in 2007 dollars). Not much, but when they multiplied this by 1000, which was the number of accumulators Jernegan said it would be possible to build within the year, considered that the machines would be running day and night, and factored in the negligible expense of operating the accumulators, they quickly saw the potential of the invention.
Jernegan, Ryan, and a team of investors founded the Electrolytic Marine Salts Company later that year. They chose to build their first gold accumulation factory in Lubec, Maine. This site was chosen both for its secluded location and because of the tides there that rose and fell 20 feet every day, aiding the efficiency of the accumulators. They also opened a business office in Boston.
Within a few months, several accumulators were producing $145 of gold a day. To raise money for expansion, the company's board of directors decided to offer shares on the market. They floated the stock at $33 a share, and within weeks it had risen to $150.
The Scam Revealed
Everything seemed to be going well. The company was making plans to increase the number of accumulators. The investors were counting their profits. And then in July 1898, Jernegan disappeared. It was discovered he had fled to Europe under an assumed name. Also gone was his mysterious assistant, Charles Fisher, a man who had shunned attention, allowing Jernegan to be the public face of the company.
As soon as Jernegan and Fisher were gone, the gold accumulators stopped working. No more gold came up from the ocean depths. The company's investors soon realized that the secret ingredient necessary to make the accumulators work was Fisher.
Fisher was a trained diver. During the initial test of the accumulator he had swum underwater from shore in his diving suit, located the gold accumulator, and substituted the mercury for a mixture of his own, mixed with gold. Later, he had purchased gold bars in Boston and transported them up to Lubec, where they were presented to investors as the weekly yield.
When plans were made to increase the number of accumulators, Fisher and Jernegan had decided to take their money (estimated at $200,000 each) and run. The two men were never caught.
In a surprise move, Jernegan later refunded $75,000 of the money he had stolen, leading to speculation that Fisher was the ringleader of the scheme.
The last that was ever heard of Jernegan, he had moved to the Philippines where he was working as a school teacher.

Fisher was needed in the hoax because he was a diver. He was the guy who put the gold in the device, so that the punters would believe the scam.
The trick requires two people. One - Jernegan - to talk to the punter, and to be seen obviously not interfering with the experiment. He can be either present at the test site or safely somewhere else, as long as he is plainly not suspected of fiddling with the set-up. The second man - Fisher - is needed to stay out of the limelight, unknown to the punters, and secretly do the fiddling so that nr. one can remain unsuspected.

Note that in the General
Summary Text of the proceedings of the fourteenth session of the Commission for
Climatology (3-10 November 2005, Beijing China) it is noted (item 11.2.6(g)) that
the Terms of Reference are broad, long-term goals that constitute a framework
to guide the work of the Expert Team (ET), and that each ET will set workplans
with Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-bound (SMART) goals
consistent with that framework (see 4.3.3 below)
(a) To develop methodologies to establish statistical relationships
between meteorological conditions and touristic frequentation and destination;
(b) To assess the impact of climate variability and climate change on
the tourism industry, especially in sensitive areas such as coastal zones and
mountains, with a view to supporting sustainable tourism (e.g. evaluation of
changes in precipitation patterns that can lead to water shortages for major
tourist destinations; changes in sea temperatures that can lead to coral
bleaching episodes; investigation of thermal and precipitation extremes in
mountainous zones; sea-level rise; shifts in seasonality; the role of climate
in infrastructure damage, biodiversity change, storm surge waves and their
impacts, erosion of shores and beaches, disruption to core services for water,
energy and food, etc.);
(c) To investigate the impacts of the tourism business (air traffic,
energy consumption, etc.) on climate (i.e. to explore whether tourism can
exacerbate climate change);
(d) To develop, in partnership with the World Tourism Organization
(WTO), NMHS climate services programmes, the WMO Regional Associations, and
tourism professionals, tailored climate products for application to tourism, including
for destinations at high latitudes;
(e) To develop templates for climate-related brochures and outreach
products, to show to tourists (travelers) the work of the local NMHSs;
(f) To develop information and methodologies for NMHSs in risk
assessment (including to follow on from the WMO/WTO book 'Handbook on natural
disaster reduction in tourism areas'), in collaboration with the WMO DPM
(g) To develop information related to climate as a resource (not just
a hazard) for WMO Web pages and publications;
(h) To investigate climato-therapy, in conjunction with the ET on
Climate and Health;
(i) To incorporate the WMO cross-cutting themes (on Disaster
Prevention and Mitigation, Space/GEO and Least Developed Countries) into
planning and activities of the ET, and to collaborate as needed with experts
(across all related disciplines) in other CCl ETs, with other WMO Technical
Commissions, and in relevant external Organizations including the World Tourism
Organization (WTO) and IOC/UNESCO, and regional economic groups (e.g. SADC,
IGAD, NEPAD, etc.);
(j) To provide guidance on, and make recommendations for, the design
and conduct of specific demonstration and pilot projects, including the
calculation of cost/benefits and value of climate predictions from the user
point of view;
(k) To explore, document and make recommendations for addressing the
needs for capacity building in each region, pertinent to this topic;
(l) To submit reports in accordance with timetables established by
the OPAG chair and/or Management Group.
