Some universities knock on many doors to find companies to license their patents.
Milwaukee School of Engineering didn't knock on even one. An Elgin, Ill., company found the Milwaukee university instead.
MSOE said Monday it has completed its first license for a patent.
The school's rapid prototyping lab agreed to give an exclusive license for certain applications of its TetraLattice technology to DSM Somos, a subsidiary of DSM Desotech Inc.
"I'm not out marketing; they came to us. They know us because our reputation in rapid prototyping is quite wide," said Tom Bray, MSOE's dean of applied research.
The school's TetraLattice technology can take computer drawings and create complex, three-dimensional structures with interiors made of sturdy lattices rather than solid material.
Watching the technology work is like watching an object appear to rise out of liquid, Bray said.
The idea came from thinking about the bond geometry in diamonds, said Vito Gervasi, the lead inventor on the patent. Gervasi is also manager of research and development for rapid prototyping research at MSOE.
TetraLattice technology has applications in the aerospace, automotive and medical device industries, with the most promising uses in the medical arena in areas such as bone structures, he said.
"DSM Somos has us thinking about how we can get this going in other applications," he said.
The company develops rapid prototyping materials.
DSM Somos brought in a software developer to help get the technology ready for the commercial market and hopes to be selling it by the end of the year, said Jim Reitz, business director for DSM Somos.
"This just speaks to how much good technology universities are creating. But unless it finds a route to market, it truly is the tree (falling) in the forest that nobody hears," Reitz said.
Wisconsin is 13th in the nation in terms of patents filed, but just 46th in the number of start-ups it creates, said Dan Steininger, co-director of the Successful Entrepreneur Investors group and an organizer for BizStarts Milwaukee, a nonprofit group that fosters innovation and entrepreneurship in southeastern Wisconsin.
"We're extremely pleased MSOE is getting the message" about the importance of commercializing intellectual property, Steininger said.
The engineering school, Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee all could tap more opportunities to commercialize their technologies, said Jay Bayne, executive director of the Milwaukee Institute, which encourages scientific discovery and technological development.
Bayne said he and other Milwaukee Institute leaders have visited MSOE several times, spending a good deal of time in its prototyping lab.
"We were quite amazed by what they do there, especially in the area of molecular models," he said.

Keywords: Apartment
This property was built by the owners in 1999. While it looks authentic to Main Street, it is not a remodel but has all new construction.
This is a gorgeous place--visitors never fail to say 'wow' as they enter the great room. We are located at 365 E Main St, across from the Harbor Springs Area Chamber of Commerce, and the downtown shopping district is 1/2 block away. Walk to Island Bean or Wooley Bugger for coffee, have lunch at Cornichons or Mary Ellen's and dinner at the Turkeys, New York or the Pier. Bike rentals are 2 blocks away. The waterfront is just a block away. The best compliment we receive for this condo is repeat visitors!
My son and I went upnorth for a last minute ski trip to Boyne and Nubs Nob (10 Min Drive). We booked this beautiful 2 bedroom condo. Great open floor plan with balcony overlooking Main Steet, Harbor Springs with Little Traverse Bay in the background. This condo is on the second level and looks brand new throughout. My son asked me why people pay more to stay at Boyne???
We have stayed in the Main St. Condo for several years now. We love the location, right in the heart of Harbor Springs. It is a perfect fit for anyone interested in biking, boating, hiking, shopping,skiing, or who is a foodie.
The condo is beautifully designed and furnished, using contempory architecture with warm, friendly furniture. The natural light in the great room is amazing! And you can sip wine and sit on the balcony and watch the activity below you or at Irish Marina, a block away on Lake Michigan.
The kitchen is a favorite of ours. Use the Viking Range, the wonderful cookware, sharp knifes, the ample counterspace, while you enjoy the views and visit with friends. It's all great! Kathryn is always helpful on the newest, or best restaurants. And get her recommendations for the weekly outdoor markets, the local farms you can visit, and the best specialty grocers. Toski-Sands, Bill's, Coveyou Farms, and Pond Hill are always fun to visit, and buy local, fresh foods. If you like food, Little Traverse Bay has much to offer.
We also visit the area for all the wonderful outdoor activities. There are marina's for boats, pontoons, kayaks and canoes. We prefer Ryde Marina, a friendly, family place on Crooked Lake. But there are plenty of options to be on Lake Michigan or other waterways.
The biking in the area is excellent. You can rent bikes two blocks from the condo from Ed at Touring Gear in downtown Harbor. And Petoskey has four or five bike shops. The dedicated trail from Harbor Springs to Charlevoix is absolutely beautiful. It is about 30 miles each way. Or take a shorter ride from Harbor to either Alanson or Petoskey. And ask Ed for the best road routes in the area.
We vacation in Harbor every fall. The spring and fall months are our personal favorites, especially for the biking, boating and the fewer crowds. But the summers are fabulous, and the ski slopes are within a short drive. Anytime in the Little Traverse Bay Area makes for a great vacation.
This accommodation was wonderful--spacious, open, airy, well appointed, lots of space. The kitchen with the Viking stove is a dream for a good cook!! Great location, 5 minutes to downtown. Good view of the bay. Kathryn was most accommodating to us, was there when we arrived. Future renters will not be disappointed. It would be nice to add a DVD player to the the TV area. Again great time, great fun. Thanks.
My friend and I wanted to spend s few days in Harbor Springs, and this was a great spot. Being right on Main St with a view of the bay was perfect, we could walk all over town.
Lots of space to hang out as well.
We loved staying in this condo during our recent ski trip to Harbor Springs. The location is unbeatable--steps to downtown Harbor and short 10 minute car ride to Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob. The condo is spacious and gets incredible light, and the view of the water is amazing! The owners were very responsive, answering our questions promptly and even helping us out immediately when we inadvertently locked ourselves out of the place. We would definitely stay here again!
Our experience was fantastic! The location couldn't be better as it is situated just a block from downtown and a block from the water. In the past we've stayed in traditional condo complexes and we felt like we were on top of eachother. This condo is spacious, open and the natural light is fantastic! We're planning to extend our stay next year to two weeks.

Opinion - Regent or Odyssey?
Well, I've had the Regent since it was launched, and I have to say it's a pretty decent ship. However, I'm not sure if I ought to swap back to my Odyssey (3-pack, using the tac or sci version) or not.
This brought up the question - for those who have both, which do you favor and why? I'm curious as to see what the reaction has been to the Regent, since I've heard people who prefer the Odyssey and those who have preferred the Regent, so I thought I'd just ask here.
Depends on your build but I perfer the Regent due to the turn rate and Boff layout.
Take the 180deg torp from the Regent and place it on your Tac Oddy. Want manuverability? Pop the top on your Ody and go to town. :)
or do something completely different and use the Excelsior, it's just a smidge less P2W than the Regent
You currently have both right? Why are you asking us XD.
That aside, I'd take the Oddy over the regent (as of right now). The oddy is tankier, higher damage output capacity, and better ability (albeit not constantly) to move around. As crypticarmsman sad, pop the top and go to town. I do that and my dps increase by a good 30% and suddenly turning is not an issue XD.
But I also have to say, metreon console, although not practical, is quite fun.
I have both the regent and oddy 3 pack. i am a BIG oddy fan, especially the tac and sci oddy. i agree with the post above. the oddy tanks better and does more damage.
For me, it depends are your playstyle. The Odyssey has the greater tanking potential and the Regent has the greater offensive potential. I love flying a fast-moving DPS cruiser that has decent tanking and high offensive power...so I fly the Regent. I absolutely love it. Depending on the situation, I even fly with Tac in Lt Universal, so I have LtCom Tac, Lt Tac, and Ens Tac....and that is alot of Tac abilities while still being able to tank well. The destructive results is awesome to behold.
Of course, the C-store Odyssey can match this level of Tac abilities too by using both Lt and Ens Universals for Tactical...but that comes at greater cost in tanking abilities, as it only has Com ENG to tank...and I prefer a Lt Eng (that the Regent has) over the Lt Sci (that the Odyssey has) for tanking. Also when the Fleet Assault Cruiser comes out with an extra Tac console slot, it will give further tactical edge.
So the answer to your question depends on what you want out of the cruiser. If it is tactical...then the Regent is better. If it is tanking...the Odyssey is better.
I have the Tac Oddy, didn't consider getting the Regent. Main problem i have with the Regent when compared to the Tac Oddy is that both are same price, but Oddy gets higher hull and shields then other cruisers and 1 more console and the universal boff stations. Regent gets same console layout, hull, and shields as the free Sovereign so all you are paying for is one more Lt Cmdr tac ability at the expense of an engineering one, a underpowered torpedo and a weak console that takes up one of your only 9 console slots, and a unique skin.
Its just doesn't hold up as a 2500 zen ship, it might be worthwhile at 2000 zen but I probably still wouldn't get it.
I will stick with the Tac Oddy until the Fleet Assault Cruiser comes out, its everything the Regent should have been but isn't, a cruiser with increased hull, shields, 4 tac consoles, and an even more tactical oriented Boff layout.
Sad thing is the stupid Regent is probably the reason they have delayed releasing the Fleet Assault Cruiser for so long.
Don't settle for the lame mediocre Regent! Demand the Fleet Assault Cruiser be released now!
I don't have them both. But I will buy the Odyssey over the Regent. Due to the Odyssey looks better, I already have a Sovereign, and my big ship I buy needs to be a good one. Unless they come out with the Ambassador before I can get the Odyssey. Then I will be after the Ambassador.

5 injured in escalator accident at NJ rail station
Monday - 1/7/2013, 4:57pm EST
By SAMANTHA HENRY
Associated Press
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) - Screams and panic engulfed a commuter rail station Monday morning when an ascending escalator changed direction and started to head back down, causing some people to jump off mid-ride.
A spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the station, said five people were injured when the escalator malfunctioned around 9 a.m. at the Exchange Place PATH station in Jersey City.
Three were taken to the hospital as a precaution, according to Port Authority Spokesman Ron Marsico. None of the injuries was considered life-threatening. They ranged from back and neck pain to scrapes, bumps and bruises, Marsico said.
Nick Lukish, of Brooklyn, N.Y., said he was headed to work and was midway up the escalator when the moving staircase started going down.
"There was a stampede at the base of the escalator," Lukish said. "People started to panic and yell and scream, and I saw some people jump over to the down side of the escalator, so I jumped."
The 33-year-old, who works in information technology at a bank in Jersey City, said it wasn't until he got to work that he noticed he had cuts and bruises on his shins from the jump. After going to a pharmacy to get some bandages, he returned to the station to give his account to police.
A YouTube video showed some people jumping onto the divider between the up and down escalators as others shouted in alarm or tried to keep walking up.
Two of the station's three escalators were shut down after the incident, forcing thousands of commuters to walk up the 128 stairs to the street.
The Exchange Place station suffered extensive damage during Superstorm Sandy. PATH officials were investigating what caused Monday's escalator malfunction, "including whether Superstorm Sandy-related effects played a role," Marsico said.
Escalator service at Exchange Place will be suspended through Tuesday morning, Marsico said, adding that workers were looking at all PATH escalators throughout the system.

Initial Delivery Slated for '05; First A330-200 Launch Customer In China Travel Writers / Business Editors GUANGZHOU, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 29, 2003 CONTACT: China Southern Airlines Jeff Ruffolo, 909-734-6141 Fax: 909-734-6146 E-Mail: email@example.com China Southern Airlines (NYSE: ZNH) (HKSE: 1055), the largest airline in The People's Republic of China, today held a purchase signing ceremony to purchase four new Airbus A330-200 aircraft. Beginning in 2005, four ultra-modern Airbus A330-200 aircraft will be added to the growing China Southern fleet -- already the nation's largest -- and the airline will be the launch customer of this aircraft type in The People's Republic of China. Terms of the agreement were not announced. "The signing of the agreement today is an important event for both China Southern and Airbus," said Mr. Liu Ming Qi, Executive Vice President, China Southern Air Holding Company and Vice Chairman, China Southern Airlines. It has been six years since China Southern Airlines began operating its Airbus fleet of now 20 A320 aircraft and according to Mr. Liu, "We have overcome some initial challenges but are more and more familiar with and comfortable to be an Airbus customer. The quality, meticulous attention to detail and after-sales service offered by Airbus has renewed our confidence in moving forward in this important air transportation endeavor." Flying 253 passengers in a three-class cabin layout up to 6,650 nm/12,300km, the Airbus A330-200 aircraft is powered by General Electric CF6-80E, Pratt & Whitney PW4000 or Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines. The Airbus A330-200 aircraft has a maximum range of 12,000km. In attendance at the Purchase Agreement Signing Ceremony was Mr. John Leaphy, Chief Commercial Officer, Airbus and officials from the Civil Aviation Administration of China and China's National Development and Reform Commission. In his statement, Mr. Liu said, "The young and state-of-the-art aircraft fleet has always been one of the important factors that motivate our customers to fly on China Southern Airlines. The A330 is one of the several well-received types of long-range and wide-body aircraft that our airline will operate and is part of our continued modernization and aviation leadership role in China." Mr. Liu said, "We are proud to be the launch customer of the Airbus A330-200 in China and the successful operator of the nation's largest A320 fleet. The invaluable experience in the A320 operation will help us to be successful in the operation of the new A330. "'Having a new baby and making a big fortune' are two of the most important events for the people of China. The four A330-200 aircraft will be four newborn babies in the China Southern Airlines family," added Mr. Liu. The largest airline in The People's Republic of China for the past 23 years, China Southern Airlines (www.cs-air.com/en) connects more than 80 cities around the globe. Major business and vacation destinations served in China include: Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Guilin, Hong Kong, Kunming, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Wuhan, as well as international service, including: Amsterdam, Bangkok, Fukuoka, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Islamabad, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Los Angeles, Manila, Melbourne, Moscow, Osaka, Penang, Phnom Penh, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo.

- Classification
The aphids or plant lice, soft-bodied insects that develop large populations, have several types of complex life cycles. Generally aphids overwinter in the egg stage on twigs or plant buds, usually designated as the primary host. In the spring the eggs hatch into females that reproduce parthenogenetically, giving birth to living young. Several generations may be produced during the season in this way. Early generations are usually wingless, but by the third generation winged individuals appear. In many species these winged forms migrate to a secondary host plant, usually an annual plant, and the same type of asexual reproductive process continues. In the latter part of the season, winged aphids of both sexes appear and migrate back to the primary host where mating occurs, and the females lay the overwintering eggs. There are two distinctive characteristics in the aphid life cycle: first, seasonal alternation of food plants involving a primary host (typically a perennial) during the winter and a secondary host (an annual) during the summer; second, there is alternation between sexual and asexual cycles, with eggs resulting from sexual mating and living young, usually females, being produced asexually.
Scale insects
The scale insects also have modified life cycles. For example, the oyster shell scale, Lepidosaphes ulmi, typically passes the winter as an egg beneath a secreted scale covering, whereas the San Jose scale Quadraspidiotus perniciosus produces living young. In either case newborn young, called crawlers, leave the scale covering to search for food. After a few days they molt, losing their legs, antennae, and anal spines, and retaining poorly developed eyes. They secrete a hard scale about their soft bodies, insert their mouthparts into a plant, and remain sessile. As the females mature, they increase in size, enlarging the scale covering periodically, but do not change form or develop wings.
Young males also have a crawler stage but become sessile and inactive after the second molt, passing through a more complete metamorphosis beneath the scale covering. The last preadult instar has two external wings and is called the pupa. Adult males have two wings and two small knobs or halteres where the second pair of wings would normally develop. Some males have three pairs of eyes. Adult males seek out wingless females, concealed beneath the scale covering, and mate with them. As many as three males may mate simultaneously with one female.
Reproduction and growth
Reproduction is bisexual among the homopterans, although asexual reproduction occurs in the aphids, in a few primitive leafhoppers, and possibly in species whose life cycles are not known in detail. An unusual situation occurs in the normally hermaphroditic cottony cushion scale Icerya purchasi, in which both male and female sexual organs are present in one individual and the eggs of any individual may be fertilized by its own sperm.
In the Auchenorrhyncha, eggs are laid by the female, who uses an egg-laying structure, the ovipositor, to insert eggs into plant tissue. In the Sternorrhyncha (e.g., aphids) the female places her eggs on the surface of the plant. The eggs of scale insects are retained in the body of the female or remain under the scale covering if separated from the female. In mealybugs and certain "cottony" scales, eggs are extruded from the body and remain in a mass enclosed by waxy plates or shreds. In most homopterans, each female produces a few hundred eggs. Exceptions occur in some scale insects (e.g., cottony maple scale) where a female may lay 5,000 eggs.
Growth is gradual and is accompanied by periodic molting. The nymphal stages, or instars, between egg and adult usually number five in leafhoppers and related species. Wings, if present, develop when the fifth instar molts and the adult emerges.
Sexual dimorphism occurs in most groups of Homoptera, with males and females often coloured differently. For example, the male leafhopper Arundanus nacreosus, a species common on cane, is orange, and the female is milk white. Size and form also vary between males and females. The male marsh leafhopper Hecalus lineatus is not only a different colour than the female but also only half as long. In treehoppers the pronotum (the dorsal sclerite of the prothorax) often is so different in shape and size between the two sexes that they appear to be two species. Examples of this are Umbonia crassicornis and Philya inflata. Among scale insects most females lack wings, legs, and antennae, while males have all three; males and females are so diverse in appearance that previous knowledge is necessary to associate two sexes of the same species. Most homopterans lack defense mechanisms, however, one scale insect, Phenacoccus echeveria, extrudes a honeydew-like material from the posterior ostioles as a defense mechanism.
Every insect lives in a habitat defined by specific physical, chemical, and biological conditions. If these conditions are changed sufficiently, the insect cannot survive and will either migrate to available acceptable conditions or perish. Temperature and humidity are important climatic factors in determining geographical regions and local habitats of specific homopterans. The distribution of homopterans is influenced also by conditions that favour distribution of host plants.
Plant distribution is determined largely by rainfall-evaporation ratios; insects with specific host relationships occur in the same regions where the plants are found. Other climatic factors may limit the insect to a smaller range within the host plant range; for example, selection of food plants by the desert species of sugar-beet leafhopper depends on the abundance of rainfall during one season. Host plants of a given species may be closely related, as legumes on which eggs are deposited and adults live; or the life cycle may be divided between alternate unrelated host plants. The fact that most species are specific in their plant relationships determines habitats such as swamp, marsh, bog, meadow, prairie, desert, deciduous or coniferous forest. Certain species occur only on sagebrush or rabbit brush in the desert, on blueberry bushes in a bog, on white oak in a deciduous forest, or on white pine in a coniferous forest.
Moisture or humidity relationships also affect the habitats of homopterans. The eggs of most auchenorrhynchans are deposited in tender plant stems or in the undersides of leaf ribs or veins. Thus, the incubation period is passed in saturated humidity. After hatching, the nymphs feed on the undersurface of the leaf and remain in high relative humidity since most of the stomata, through which transpiration occurs, are on the undersurface. A reduction in relative humidity due to reduced transpiration can destroy large field populations. Certain leafhopper and fulgorid species, although they are not adapted for aquatic life, can live on plants and produce normal populations under conditions of periodic tidal submergence, even in cold waters.

The current study evaluates histopathologic changes in the temporal bones of 4 human subjects who underwent revision cochlear implantation. Specimens were removed at autopsy, fixed and prepared for histological study by standard techniques. Specimens were serially sectioned, reconstructed by two-dimensional methods, and the tracks of the initial and revision cochlear-implant electrodes identified. The tracks were of three types: a 'common track' (shared by the reimplantation electrode and initial electrode), 'two tracks' (where the reimplantation electrode was in a different track than that of the initial electrode) and 'one track' (where the reimplantation electrode extended beyond the initial electrode, forming a single track). Associated histopathologic findings (new bone formation, fibrosis or inflammatory cells, and cochlear fluid) were evaluated for the three types of tracks. In all 4 subjects, the insertion depth of the revision cochlear implant was deeper than that of the initial cochlear implant. The primary track of the initial implantation did not interfere with insertion of a revision cochlear implant, and the trajectory of the revision electrode did not always follow the primary track. In cochlear segments with a common track or two tracks, the mean (across-subject) percent area of the extraelectrode cochlear duct filled with abnormal (new bone or fibrotic) tissue (43.2%) was significantly greater than the mean percent area occupied by fluid (13.4%; t = 3.12, d.f. = 19.9, p = 0.003).

Doug Risebrough doesn't recall Scotty Bowman being a big pep-talk guy.
"But before the last game of that year, in Washington, I think it was," reminisced the Minnesota Wild general manager, "Scotty walked into the room, cleared his throat and gave a little speech. That in itself was odd. And I remember he said something like, 'Boys, do it tonight and we'll become the first team in NHL history to win 60 games!'
"And I'm sitting there, getting my stuff on, totally oblivious to what we'd been doing, and thinking, 'What? Are we that good?!'"
No -- better.
As the Anaheim Ducks kept layering W on top of W to open this fall and early winter, as Teemu Selanne continued to defy time, as the defense tag-team of Chris Pronger and Scott Niedermayer put figure-four leg locks on the opposition's top snipers, there were whispers and distant echoes back to the ghosts of 1976-77.
Nothing more, it turns out, than fools' fancy.
That Montreal Canadiens outfit was hung with only eight losses over 80 games. Eight! Consider that no team among the 30 suffered less than 11 during a 48-game, labor impasse-shortened 1994-95 season, and the enormity of what the Canadiens accomplished in that golden season comes into clearer focus.
At the halfway mark of this season, the injury-plagued Ducks and Buffalo Sabres, jousting for the perch as hockey's top team, have already incurred nine losses apiece.
"It'll never happen again," Risebrough flatly contended.
His gaze is unwavering.
This season marks the 30-year anniversary of that legendary Canadiens aggregation, a perennial favorite when selecting a "finest team of the modern era." And as Risebrough said, check back in another 30 years and you won't see any other team close to that, and another 30 after that, and well, you get the picture.
In the NBA, a league with a comparable schedule, the Jordan-propelled Chicago Bulls of 1995-96 lost 10 games out of 82. Hoops buffs still drop to one knee to genuflect when that team is mentioned in conversation.
So, as an iconic sports record, the Canadiens' eight losses figures to be one that'll stand as long as, say, Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak or Glenn Hall's 506 consecutive starts in net.
Meaning: Forever.
After being pounded 7-3 at Boston on Jan. 17, 1977, the Habs lost only once in their last 34 games. They went 33-1-6 in 40 games at the fabled Montreal Forum. Swept along the jet stream of the flamboyant "Flower," Guy Lafleur, the Canadiens scored 387 goals and gave up only 171 in 80 starts. They finished 20 points clear of the league runner-up Flyers.
The only logical comparison since are the Bowman-coached Red Wings of 1995-96. Detroit won 62 with two more games on the schedule, but it also lost 13, scoring less and giving up more goals than Bowman's Canadiens. Montreal also outpointed the Wings by one (132-131) in the standings -- in two fewer starts. Advantage, Habs.
And, most important, that Detroit squad didn't bring home the Stanley Cup in the spring. Colorado did. The 1976-77 Habs breezed through the playoffs, going 12-2, including sweeps of St. Louis and Boston, to claim the chalice.
Said Risebrough: "We had the best player in the league [Lafleur], arguably the best goalie in the league in Kenny [Dryden], three of the top six defensemen in the league [Larry Robinson, Guy Lapointe and Serge Savard], the best two-way player in the league in Jacques [Lemaire] and Steve Shutt scored 60 goals.
"What more could you ask for?"
Not a heckuva lot. The season before, the Canadiens had put an end to the Philadelphia Flyers' muscle-bound championship run and played inarguably one of the most famous, emotionally compelling games of all time, the 3-3 New Year's Eve tie against the invading Central Red Army on Forum ice.
In 1976-77, for an encore, the team got even better.
"Scotty just never let us get complacent," Risebrough said. "I don't remember ever thinking, 'How few can we lose?' or 'How low can we come in at?' that year. Not at all. I can't remember anybody even mentioning it. It wasn't as if we were satisfied after reeling in three or four Cups in a row. We felt we still had plenty to prove."
In the first three seasons of their Stanley string (1975-78), the Habs lost only 29 regular-season starts. Already this season, the woebegotten Flyers have lost 28. And, as mentioned, they finished it off with a bang. The perfect capper.
History lectures us that regular-season dominance bears surprisingly little correlation to playoff glory. Since Montreal ended its four-year run of dominance in 1979, only nine of 26 regular-season champions have gone on to collect the Cup.
When all was tallied in the spring of 1977, the Canadiens were 72-10-12 and had been crowned champions. It's hard to envision any team putting together a season like that in today's NHL.
"The parity today is one reason," Risebrough said. "The new [CBA] rules are designed to make more teams competitive. And if you check back, I believe [GM Sam Pollock] had accumulated four first-round picks in '72, one in '73, five in '74 and two or three in '76. Now, it's not as if he got those for free. He had to give to get. But stockpiling that amount of good, young talent is what built that team.
"You simply can't look that long-term today."
That Canadiens' season stands alone in terms of dominance and remains etched in memory like a revered engraving.
"I really didn't think much about history or what we were accomplishing [at the time]," Risebrough said. "I don't imagine anyone did. We had a feeling we were a good team, sure, but you look at it now, 30 years later quite a year. One to look back on. One to be proud of."
One for the ages.

Johnson: Ducks, Sabres will never catch '76-77 Habs
Wowed by the Ducks' and Sabres' strong starts? George Johnson says that's nothing compared to the feat of the 1976-77 Habs.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to a device and method for handling event messages using Internet technology.
2. Description of the Related Art
Network management systems, particularly telecommunications management networks (TMN), allow operation and maintenance (O&M) of hardware, software and services in the networks for operators of private or public networks.
The problems addressed by the present invention are presented below with respect to a largely standardized TMN system architecture (see, for example, ITU-T, Recommendation M.3010), generally designated as reference numeral 10.
FIG. 1 shows the TMN system architecture 10 in an overview. A fundamental operating sequence can be described as follows:
1. An operator at an operating station or work station 12 ("WS"), e.g., a PC, of the TMN system 10 starts an operating task.
2. The operator authorizes himself relative to an operations system 14 ("OS") of the TMN system 10 and inputs one or more operation and maintenance ("O&M") commands in the framework of an O&M task.
3. These O&M commands are interpreted by the OS 14 and are forwarded to the appertaining devices in the network, such as network element 16 ("NE"), following a potentially required format conversion, for example, through a Data Communications Network 18 ("DCN").
4. At least one NE 16 implements the O&M commands, i.e., undertake corresponding changes in their configuration or make requested data available. The at least one NE 16 communicates the results to the OS 14 which in turn informs the operator.
The explained, basic executive sequence is well documented in standards and numerous publications. The interaction between components in the TMN system 10 may involve standard TMN interfaces 20.
In addition to this control sequence, a number of specific events can occur in a TMN system that affect operation and maintenance in the network:
An outage of telecommunications devices, such as exchanges or individual components, lines, signaling equipment, etc. These outages have different effects: from the outage of vital network functions which must be immediately corrected, to slight deteriorations in network functions whose elimination is not time-critical.
Interventions of operating personnel on site, such as the deactivation of equipment in the network for maintenance purposes.
Automatic blocking/disconnecting of individual equipment in the network, for example due to overload conditions that might require a blocking of individual traffic relationships.
Devices equipped for handling such events in the network, for example exchanges, report these events in the form of what are referred to as event messages to the appertaining OS 14, which in turn informs the operating personnel. The fundamental executive sequence is defined by the standardization bodies for TMN-conforming systems.
The TMN concept of the standardization bodies has the following disadvantages in practice:
TMN system 10 is decoupled from the technical main stream (open, distributed systems).
TMN system 10 is only theoretically capable of supporting multi-vendor equipment, since the complete standardization of the TMN interfaces is not possible in practice.
TMN system 10 is difficult to integrate into an existing network infrastructure.
TMN system 10 is inflexible and difficult to customize to individual operator requirements and O&M sequences.
Internet technology, particularly worldwide web technology (WWW browsers and servers, WWW standards, particularly HTML and HTTP), is viewed as means for overcoming these disadvantages. The application of Internet technology to the TMN concept is still in its infancy but is encountering increasing attention. The reasons for this are:
Internet technology is adaptable to future developments. It represents the outright innovation field in telecommunication. All critical organizations and companies are engaged in this arena. Numerous products either exist or will soon be available.
Internet technology is successful in the marketplace. It is available on different hardware and software platforms. Accessing Internet technology is easy to learn and widely available. Internet technology is thus generally accepted on the basis of ease of entry.
Internet technology facilitates inter-operability between networks of different technologies and organizations. It is based on pragmatic, practice-proven, and generally available standards.
The employment of Internet technology for the control operation sequence in TMN system 10, for example, for the input of operation commands from WS 12 via OS 14 into NE 16 (see FIG. 1), has been investigated by a number of organizations (e.g., Microsoft/Vertel and IBM) and can be considered as having been fundamentally clarified.
The use of Internet technology for handling event messages, by contrast, is largely open.
The present invention is based on the object of specifying an apparatus and a method for handling event messages in a network management system.
An exemplary embodiment of the invention (a TMN system 110) is explained in greater detail below with reference to FIG. 2.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the major components of a telecommunications management network.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the main components of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows the main components of the inventive operating system (mapper, adaptor) as well as their embedding within TMN system 110. A first work station 112A, operable by an Operator 1, permits, for example, implementing event/alarm processing. A second work station 112B, operable by an Operator 2, permits, for example, implementing of O&M tasks for the administration of lines in the network. Though first and second work stations are shown in FIG. 2, the present invention is not limited to the specific set-up shown and may be used with known set-ups for the TMN concept.
O&M commands are interpreted by an operating system 114 and are forwarded to network elements 116. The O&M commands may be forwarded to a network element 116 following a format conversion, such as through a data communication network 118. The inventive executive sequence for the present invention can be described as follows:
1. An adapt or 120 includes adaptor applets 122 that receive event messages 124 from the network or from existing O&M systems, such as the operating system 114 communicating with network elements 116. An applet (a known technology from Java, e.g.) is a software component that is runnable in an arbitrary environment.
2. Each applet 122 extracts the information (e.g., event influences) contained in the event message 124.
3. The tradition al TMN architecture (see, e.g., FIG. 1) is expanded by a mapper 126. The mapper 126 produces an event profile 128 from the event information extracted by the adaptor applet 122 for describing the influences of the event. The event profile 128 can have the following content:
The type of network resources that are affected by the event (for example, lines, switching equipment, signaling points).
Individual network resources that are affected by the event, for example a specific line number.
Registered network users that must be immediately informed of the event (for example, debugging personnel of the operator, such as Operator 1 in FIG. 2).
O&M tasks that are affected by the event which include: tasks that can no longer be implemented or can only be implemented in a limited fashion due to the event; tasks that are possible as a result of the event (following a longer outage); and tasks that become relevant precisely because of the event (for example, maintenance); etc.
Other events on which the newly existing event is dependent or to which there is a relationship. Note: The determination of the affected events ensues with the assistance of a correlation function, numerous such functions being known from the literature.
4. For determining the event profile 128, the mapper 126 maintains a mapper information database 130 that contains the network resources to be managed and the relationships between such resources.
5. The mapper 126, on the basis of the event information or of the event profile 128, generates one or more event pages 132 according to the known Internet HTML principles and stores them chronologically in an event-log database 134. Event profiles 128 may also be stored in the event-log database 134.
6. The operating tasks (O&M tasks) for the TMN system 110 are presented as operating pages 136 formulated in HTML and connected by hyperlinks 138, preferably activatable by the mapper 126. Each operating page 136 corresponds to a selection step and/or to at least one operating step, for example, establishing a line in the network. The application of this Internet technology to individual O&M tasks is known. When the operator (for example, Operator 2 in FIG. 2) calls an HTML operating page 136 within the scope of an operating task, the following activities are initiated:
An operating applet 140 runs within each operating page 136, which determines an operating page profile 142 belonging to the operating page 136. The operating page profile 142 (similar to the event profile 128) contains information allocated to the operating page 136. Among other things, the operating options established by the operating page 136 are described by this information contained in the operating page profile 142 (such as the operable network resources and O&M tasks).
The mapper 126 compares the identified operating page profile 142 to all existing event profiles 128, such as those stored in the event log database 134.
As a result of this comparison, the mapper 126 determines whether event information contained in an event profile 128 describes an event influence that affects the implementability of the operating options (network resources, O&M tasks) described in the operating page profile 142. When this is the case, the mapper 124 brings this situation to the attention of the operator. The following method is utilized for this purpose.
An "event is present" hyperlink, existing in standard form in all HTML operating pages 136, is activated. This can be illustrated by further methods optionally selectable by the operator (such as by flashing or by a running script).
The hyperlink, after clicking, leads the operator directly to the stored event page 132 in the event log database 134.
A plurality of relevant event pages, generally designated by reference numeral 144, can be linked in this way with an HTML operating page 136. This is either displayed for the user or a "next event" hyperlink is activated.
The operator is warned when he attempts to implement an O&M task that is no longer possible or only possible to a limited extent due to an event. Hyperlinks 138 to operating pages 136 of these O&M tasks are deactivated.
7. When an event has been handled (for example, an outage has been eliminated, or a resource is again functional), the network element 116 automatically reports this (or the maintenance crew reports it manually) on the basis of a "state change" event message. The following executive sequence is thereby initiated:
The mapper 126 processes this event message 124, generates an event profile 128 in turn, and removes the original event profile 128 relating to the same network resource which has now become irrelevant, e.g., by removing it from the event log database 134.
For ordinary operating pages 136, the deletion of the original event profile 128 from the event log database 134 causes the "event is present" hyperlinks to be deactivated, and causes O&M tasks that were blocked on the basis of the event (i.e., hyperlinks 138 to operating pages 136 of these O&M tasks were deactivated) to be enabled (i.e., hyperlinks 138 to operating pages 136 of these O&M tasks are once again activated).
For registered users (for example, Operator 1 in FIG. 2), an "event handled" event is generated instead of the original event. The mapper 126 sends a message to the user that the original event has now become meaningless.
The following advantages are achieved by the method of the present invention:
An enhanced efficiency of network operation is possible. Only the events/alarms that are relevant for a current operating execution are displayed. The handling of other events/alarms can be postponed. Operating executions that are not affected by a specific event/alarm can be handled later. This saves operating costs for the network operator.
A generic solution is provided for all TMN event messages and alarms that enables a coordination of the processing of event messages with the O&M tasks.
Adaptable mainstream technology is used for management in public networks.
Independence of the network technology (telephone/ISDN, broadband, data, etc.) is created. This method can be subsequently added to existing O&M systems and organization and maintenance tasks.
A configurable solution is adaptable to individual customers (based on applets, event and operating profiles that can be added and removed with known Internet techniques/tools).
The above-described method is illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Numerous modifications and adaptations thereof will be readily apparent to those skilled in this art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - Rob Gronkowski is participating in contact drills with the New England Patriots for the first time since his knee surgery.
The star tight end says he's planning to be ready for the season opener on Sept. 7 against the Miami Dolphins.
Gronkowski tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee on Dec. 8 and underwent surgery on Jan. 9. He had been practicing on the side with quarterback Tom Brady during training camp. His first contact drills came on Monday as the Patriots held their final workout of camp.
They'll revert to their regular-season practice schedule when they work out on Tuesday for Friday night's preseason game against the Carolina Panthers.

No country is at risk of being forced out of the eurozone, despite the fact that the 17-member currency bloc still faces many problems, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in an interview with dpa on Friday.
"We have come a long way, but still there are many problems to solve," Ms. Merkel said, adding that overcoming the debt crisis is a long process involving a series of steps and measures.
She also rejected suggestions that the problems facing nations at the centre of the crisis might force them to exit the euro.
"No, I don't see that," the chancellor said. "We all need a common Europe." She also said that US President Barack Obama and herself had agreed that ministers from Germany and the United States would meet in Washington in the coming weeks to discuss claims that the US secret service had bugged EU offices and the embassies of European allies, including Germany.
"Many questions are still open, and we will endeavour to answer them as soon as we have some kind of clarity," she said. "And everything that can be made public we will make public." Ms.Merkel faces a general election in September, but insists that her decisions on Europe had not been influenced by the timing of polls.
"I would not have made a single decision on Europe any different if an election had been held a year earlier or later," she said.
She said that the EU was right to give cash-strapped eurozone states such as Greece and Portugal some extra room to cut back their high deficit-and-debt levels, since the scale of the problems they faced had placed the euro at risk.
The chancellor said that in addition to getting their state finances back onto a solid basis, Europe's debt-hit nations need to improve their competitiveness and promote new and sustainable economic growth and employment.
"Every country in Europe has to face the question of how it sees itself making money in the future and how it intends to encourage prosperity," she said.
In the interview, Ms. Merkel also once again reaffirmed her hopes of remaining chancellor during the next legislative period.
"I like being chancellor and want to stay in the job and indeed for the whole next legislative period, because I see many challenges ahead of us."
