Berlin: a city reinvents itself.
A major city right in the heart of continental Europe, creative and vibrant as never before and attracting millions of visitors. The capital city of an open, international and welcoming country, Berlin today represents a completely new image of Germany to the world. Happy, exuberant, a little bit cheeky at times, tolerant, laid back and easygoing. "Berlin is not so much a city as the world in miniature", as the German writer Jean Paul very aptly observed as long ago as 1800.

Hanson Carbon Steel Plug Tap 6-40 Thread
Product #: 390945 Hanson #: 1120 UPC #: 20042526011201
- Information
Hanson's high strength taps are useful for any number of machining projects, threading the interior surface of a hole to correspond with the desired thread pitch of a given screw, bolt or other part. This plug tap incorporates a chamfer (tapered cutting edge) that is 3 to 5 threads in length that helps to align and start the tap into an untapped or blind hole. Featuring a square drive head, the tap can be paired with a Hanson T-handle tap wrench (sold separately) for manual operation, or attached to a lathe or drill press for greater precision and speed.
Technical Information
Tap Types and Suggested Uses:
Bottom tap has a chamfer (taper at the end) that is 1 to 2 threads long. Use for threading close to the bottom of blind holes.
Plug tap has a chamfer that is 3 to 5 threads long. The most common chamfer for use by hand or for machine tapping
through blind holes.
Taper tap has a chamfer that is 7 to 10 threads long. Easier starting and requires less tapping torque because of the
number of working teeth. Also known as a starter tap.
All taps have a square drive head. Size of square and overall length of tap will vary by tap size.

Southeastern Regional Medical Center has been chosen to receive an Excellence in Patient Care award given by outcomes firm Studer Group®. The hospital will receive the award—which will be presented at the 9th annual What's Right in Health Care® conference—for its exemplary "medication communication" ratings on the HCAHPS patient survey.
HCAHPS, or Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, is a national standardized survey tool used to measure adult inpatient perception of the quality of care they receive at a given acute care hospital.
The 27-question survey was created in 2002 by the combined efforts of The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Scores are publicly posted four times a year at www.hospitalcompare.hhs.gov.
Studer Group® gives its Excellence in Patient Care awards based on very high scores in each of the HCAHPS categories. Southeastern Regional Medical Center received its award in the "250-499 beds" category for having the best responses to several HCAHPS questions about how well staff members communicated the purpose and side effects of prescribed medications.
The What's Right in Health Care® conference will take place October 19-21, 2011, in Chicago, Illinois. It is an acclaimed national conference during which the top healthcare organizations in the industry gather to share "best practices" with an audience of their peers.
"When patients receive thorough explanations of the drugs they're prescribed, they're more likely to comply with treatment," explains Quint Studer, founder of Studer Group®. "And they're more likely to get better faster. That's why the best hospitals put systems in place to make sure all patients understand the issues surrounding their prescriptions. It's just one more way the best of the best strive to provide outstanding care to every patient, every time."

Fish as Food
More than a billion people–largely in developing countries–rely on fish as their primary source for animal protein. That's a lot of fish tied to human health and well being.
In this Fish as Food issue, we describe topics as they relate to fish as a vital nutrient or as a healthy dish to occasionally savor. Sustainable Seafood Choices provides practical, hands-on guidelines to eating wild-caught fish. This information will help you become a more conscientious consumer who keeps healthy oceans in mind.
Is there enough fish for everyone? We talk about that in Overfishing — one of the global challenges to finding a balance between ocean and human health. Another issue related to commercial fishing is Bycatch, the unintentional catch of other species. Aquaculture is a viable, growing industry that provides additional fish for our growing demand. But there are real concerns about many of these farm-raised fish.
In our Advice for Medical Professionals you'll find easy to understand information about the risks and benefits of eating seafood. And there are simple guidelines, blogs and tutorials to understand Mercury in Seafood, too. Check out Seafood Fraud to learn about seafood being sold under false names.
Aquaculture — Farmed Seafood
Aquaculture—fish farming—produces an estimated 55 million metric tons of fish annually, worth $106 billion. For comparison, commercial fishing hauls in 90 million metric tons of wild-caught fish annually. Aquaculture is a large and growing industry, and has the potential to take pressure off depleted wild fish populations, while providing food and nutrients to millions of […]

Bycatch refers to the unwanted sea life people catch when they're fishing for something else. Bycatch wastes 7 million metric tonnes of sea life every year. The vast majority of bycatch—already dead when it hits the deck— is just discarded. Killing hundreds of thousands of juvenile fish not big enough for legal take can undermine […]

Seafood Fraud
Fish sold as red snapper, wild salmon, and Atlantic cod are commonly mislabeled. A Boston Globe study of over a hundred Boston-area seafood restaurants found that 48 percent of the fish was mislabeled. When asked about the discrepancies, some restaurant owners shrugged saying that everyone does it. The most common kinds of fraud are mislabeling […]

Overfishing—taking fish and other sea creatures from the ocean faster than they can reproduce—has caused more change to the world's oceans than any other single factor so far. From fish to whales, fishing has depleted many populations of ocean animals. Some have collapsed to very low numbers. Some are no longer commercially viable. "How much […]

Unfortunately, the yarn used to make these socks has been discontinued. We are looking in to getting replacement yarn made, however for the near future, we will be unable to restock this product. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes!
Once upon a sock dream we couldn't find socks like this anywhere and were ecstatic when our mill created them just the way I imagined. Years later yarn supply has come and gone and changed completely. This version is our Classic, just as it appeared several years ago... still made just for us by a family operated mill in the USA.
These are 35 inches from heel to cuff & fit US women's shoe size 7-12. They have a maximum stretch of 26 inches around in the cuff and 22 inches in the calf.
Fiber Content: 85% cotton, 15% spandex.
Machine or hand wash in cold to cool water, tumble dry low or hang dry.
Label: DreaM Stockings
My son made Honor Roll, and when we told him he could have anything he wanted as a "way to go" gift, he grabbed the computer and started shopping for socks. Just though you'd like to know that even 12-year-old boys cannot resist the awesomeness that is Sock Dreams!

Can we talk about how much the new Cameron Crowe movie sucks? I mean, seriously, what was going on with that freakin' volcano? And all that nonsense about the Chinese antisatellite device? And hoo-boy, that far-fetched third-act turn — oh, hang on. You haven't seen the movie? No worries, neither have I. Neither has anyone. It hasn't actually been made yet — but the reviews are already in at Scriptshadow. A no-frills Hollywood blog, Scriptshadow is diabolically simple: An anonymous figure who goes by the nom de Net of Carson Reeves harvests scripts from a network of industry contacts (including hype-conscious writers and their reps). He reviews the screenplays, critiquing structure, story, and character development — basically their DNA. Scriptshadow analyzes a screenplay for flaws and mutations months before it goes into production and years before the premiere. (The Hoeber brothers adaptation of Warren Ellis' graphic novel Red, starring Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman? Solid. Go see it — in like, a year or so.) The site is the 23andMe of flicks, reviews at the zygotic level, film criticism by amniocentesis. A precap, if you will. ...
ASTONISHING X-MEN: probably some delays coming? Short ones? I don't even know anymore.
Joe Distort: just want to know is there going to be DOKTOR SLEEPLESS within the year?
Warren Ellis: We hope so.]]>
DC COMICS PRESENTS JACK CROSS #1: I don't get who or what market niche these DCCP things are meant to fill – are they somehow getting away with reprinting these with no or low royalties because they're not "trade paperbacks" per se? I dunno. But what I DO know is it is really really stupid to release Warren Ellis work in a "permanent" format, and to not put his name on the cover anywhere, nor to print anything whatsoever on the spine of the book. AWFUL, from a marketing perspective; the comics inside are OK
OCEAN: currently dormant, I believe.]]>
DOKTOR SLEEPLESS: Concluding issue will appear (late?) 2011, probably as an extra-long issue. Book will go on an official hiatus after that.]]>
Presuming this accurately reflects Warren's feelings on the matter Whitechapel will remain open indefinitely.

In the classic car world, theft is a real problem; nary a week goes by without hearing sad tales of classics that were there one minute, and gone the next. While the rip-offs of high profile, expensive show cars by bands of professionals get a lot of exposure, many regular classics – vehicles like yours and mine – get stolen with alarming frequency. Some of these rides have no countermeasures at all, others use easy-to-defeat items like clubs, and still others have noisy alarm systems that do little to actually deter thieves. Of course, there are effective anti-theft systems with options like vehicle tracking – but many are too cost-prohibitive for regular enthusiasts. Which leads to this question: what cost-effective – with an emphasis on the word "effective" – anti-theft systems are out there? And if I were to answer that question by telling you about a ridiculously simple and affordable system that has never been defeated – not once – would you believe it?
When I saw the Ravelco system for the first time, I certainly didn't: a plastic base and cap, some steel tubing, and a few wires aren't exactly the most confidence-inspiring package when it comes to combating this generation's sophisticated car thief. I figured guys with the savvy to steal VINs, go to the dealership for a new engine computer, do the swap, and drive away with nary an alarm chirp could make short work of such a low-tech device. Alas, while it may not be the most sophisticated system on the market, there is beauty in its simplicity: the coded plug and identical black wires are installed in a way that makes it so time-consuming to figure out, not one has been bypassed in the 35 years that Ravelco has been around. Pretty impressive, huh?
My personal experience with a Ravelco on the mean streets of Queens, New York quickly made me a believer of this system. So when the opportunity to work with Miami-based Florida Ravelco and its owner, Attila Kovacs, came up, we jumped at it. And as it just so happens, one of AutoTrader Classics' managers was needing some classic protection for his new ride. Check out the captions to learn more about this amazing setup – and see why it is bad news for the bad guys!
Our test car is a 2002 Ford Thunderbird, which belongs to Private Seller Manager Joe Lake. Joe recently picked it up as his "fun car," and he wants to be sure that it is properly protected from thieves. One of the most unobtrusive and effective solutions to that problem is the Ravelco Anti Theft System.
Here's the Ravelco unit. This gray base connects to the black armored steel cable below it, which puts a serious crimp into the plans of any scumbag who tries to access the wires inside. The Ravelco comes with two 16-pin plugs, which are individually coded to each system. The wires inside work in pairs, and if they are clipped, the vehicle can't run. Probing the base unit won't work – there are over 100,000 combinations within its 16 holes. And fiddling with it means big-time fuse blowing. To top off this formidable system, its active wires mix with "dummy" wires that further confuse any would-be thieves.
The T-bird's engine bay. Another added benefit of this system is that, once installed, it is practically invisible to any prying eyes – you'll see what we mean at the end of this story.
Most cars have driver-side panels that are suitable for the installation of this system.
Attila Kovacs made the trip up from Miami to handle our install. He owns Florida Ravelco, the exclusive provider of Ravelco in Florida. While we were snapping photos, Attila was prepping the Ravelco system and its huge array of identically colored wires for the installation.
After inspecting the T-bird's under-dash panel, Attila determined a mounting location that is both easily accessible for the driver, and out of the way of his or her knees.
Any electronic wiring connections to the panel, like the traction control connector on this T-bird, are disconnected, and Kovacs removes the panel. A 1 1/8-inch hole saw is used to drill the mounting hole.
He temporarily reinstalls the panel with the new hole drilled.
As the proposed mounting area also has a metal support bracket behind it, Attila uses a drill bit and the hole saw to drill through the mounted panel and through the bracket. Obviously, it was checked before drilling to make sure no wires, switches, etc. were in the way.
The panel is removed again, and the threaded base unit is secured to the panel with a nut.
Our base unit now tight, the armored cable is routed through the under-dash area and the panel is reinstalled for the last time.
Attila studies the engine bay to determine how the wires will be run. After a hole is drilled through the firewall, he starts feeding the wires from the mounting location in the dash to the front of the car.
The installation locations, as well as the method in which the wires are integrated into the car's harness, are large reasons why this system has never been defeated. As such, we won't show exactly what he is doing; however, it is important to mention that the proper wiring technique is always important, but it is critical here in South Florida's humidity. Kovacs splices the Ravelco's wires, and then solders them for a weatherproof seal.
No, this is not an identical shot of the one we showed before: the Ravelco is now fully installed on Joe's T-bird, and the wires are nowhere to be found.
The system is now ready to use. The plug can only go on one way; it fits firmly onto the base and won't fall off while driving. Two plugs come with the kit; if additional plugs are needed, the system's owner must contact Ravelco and prove their identity to order new ones.
Attila demonstrates how the system works: without the gray plug in place, the car's accessories work but it won't turn over. With it installed, the car cranks and runs normally. However, if the plug is removed when the car is running, the engine dies and won't restart. Simple, easy – and highly effective!
In addition to installing the Ravelco, keep the following tips in mind to minimize the chance that the bad guys will make off with your prized possession:
- No anti-theft system yet? Disconnect the battery and/or computer
- A hidden starter kill switch is a low-buck solution
- Store valuables out of view
- Don't leave your unattended car running
- Don't leave the ignition key in the car
- Roll the windows up, put the top up, and install the roof/T-tops
- A locked garage is best; a well-lit open spot with foot traffic is secondary
- Combine theft deterrents, alarms, and recovery systems for the best coverage

Big Ten fans are still reeling after the conference announced it would add two schools and reconfigure into what's tentatively being called the Cash and Credit divisions. At least the money-hungry Jim Delany recognized one thing. When your powerhouse programs are struggling, find them more patsies to play!
So give Maryland and Rutgers a warm Midwest welcome, stuff cash down their shirts, then shove them out of the way. Frankly, all this expansion nonsense shouldn't be happening during The Week, because in these confusing times, we need Michigan-Ohio State more than ever.
After a brief period in which Michigan stopped tackling and Ohio State refused to stop cheating, The Game is back, almost as big as ever. Michigan is 8-3 and can win its division if Nebraska commits 15-16 pass-interference penalties and somehow loses to Iowa. The Buckeyes are 11-0 and on probation, but could win a national championship if drunken AP voters somehow overlook they've been lyin' dogs.
That would be a shame, because last year our Buckeye friends executed one of the dumbest strategies in college football history. They could've thrown themselves at the stinky feet of the NCAA and self-imposed a bowl ban with a 6-6 record. But noooo, they just had to play in that fabled Gator Bowl. I have no idea why, although I suspect Jacksonville's array of Hooters establishments was a major draw. Now they have to serve their sentence with an unbeaten record, which shows it's still relatively easy to dupe a Buckeye.
At least the animosity is back, thank goodness. Brady Hoke understands it, referring to Michigan's main rival as Ohio. That's slightly different than his maligned predecessor, who referred to Michigan's main rival as Toledo.
Urban "Myth" Meyer understands it too, back in his home state after taking time off to be burned out. He calls Michigan "That School Up North," torn from the playbook of Woody Hayes, who also preached "three yards and a cloud of dust." Under Jim Tressel, it was "three yards and a cloud of suspicion."
The Buckeyes have gone from the Sweater Vest to the Smarmy Pest, which should knock some energy into a beaten-down conference. Michigan has dominated this storied rivalry for 12 full months, including the 40-34 victory last season. Before that, the Buckeyes reportedly won seven in a row, which would be more impressive if players weren't supplementing incomes by selling memorabilia out of the trunks of their cars.
This is a momentous week, a sentimental recognition that Ohio State remains one of the ugliest specks of dirt on the college football map. See what I did there, besides guarantee my Columbus hotel room won't have hot running water? I paid respect to what makes the sport so compelling — bitter rivalries. We should cherish the few enduring traditions, and by "cherish," I mean "demean."
Isn't it great that ol' Notre Dame is unbeaten and headed toward the national championship game despite needing eight overtimes to beat Pitt? Of course it is! And not just because the Irish will lose to Alabama by the conservative estimate of 37-3.
Isn't it honorable that Michigan State stopped encroaching on the real rivalries and quietly retreated to the darkness of the Big Ten basement? Sure it is. If there's anything we've learned about the 5-6 Spartans, it's that they only stay good when nobody says they'll stay good. No more compliments for you!
Isn't it touching that all across America, debt-ridden schools are smearing on lipstick and eye-liner to attract conference suitors? The Big East is such a mess, its divisions now are the Big East East and the Big East West. I wish I was kidding, just like I wish someone would confirm the Legends and Leaders thing was a joke concocted over multiple cases of brandy.
Isn't it great the SEC has won the last six national championships and has approximately 24 teams in the polls' top 25? The ruthless SEC mentality even affected the poor Buckeyes, who lost sight of their primary goal as an "academic" institution — keep your players publicly eligible and privately tattooed.
To be fair, things are different in Columbus now. School officials, led by powerful bow-tied president-warden Gordon Gee, no longer must ask permission to use the bathroom in the football offices. The Buckeyes were so embarrassed by their transgressions, they responded as any program would — they went straight to the belly of the beast and hired SEC scourge Meyer.
I want to make something perfectly clear here. I wouldn't waste all this valuable time and space mocking our Buckeye friends if I didn't respect the program's history, determination and relentless obnoxiousness.
There simply aren't enough things you can count on in college football anymore, and Buckeye irrationality is one of them. According to my sources, they're so offended by being called "Ohio," the band planned to introduce a new halftime formation: Script "T-H-E O-H-I-O S-T-A-T-E." Unfortunately during practice, a half-dozen tuba players were treated for exhaustion. Now they'll try something more emblematic of Ohio State fandom: A script finger.
The Buckeyes also are marking the 10-year anniversary of their 2002 national championship this weekend. That means Tressel will be there, along with several key players, pending work-release approval. To commemorate it, the team will be introduced, and approximately three minutes later, officials will throw penalty flags.
Hoke knows it will be a tough environment, but anytime you give the Buckeyes something to think about, you have a chance. Near as I can tell, Michigan's starting quarterback will be Devin Gardner, Denard Robinson, Brian Griese or John Navarre. I'm sure if Meyer wins, he'll immediately launch a whiny campaign to face Notre Dame in the national title game. For the right price, Delany might even allow it.
Pick: Ohio State 24-17*
* Estimated to be vacated in 2016
The picks
Michigan State at Minnesota : After clinching a spot in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, the Spartans will celebrate their new tradition by clutching chicken wings in their teeth. Pick: Michigan State 30-16
Nebraska at Iowa : The Big Ten likes to make newcomers feel welcome, so expect Nebraska to be escorted to the championship game. Can't wait for the Rutgers-Georgia Tech title matchup in a few years! Pick: Nebraska 31-26
Notre Dame at USC : No one is denigrating the Irish's magical 11-0 season, despite needing 17 interceptions to beat the Wolverines. Actually, most of America wouldn't mind if Notre Dame knocked the slime out of Lane Kiffin and USC. Pick: Notre Dame 27-24

Only ONE left.
The Ball 'n Cup toy has been one of the world's most popular toys. It has been found in nearly every culture throughout history. In the mid 1500's it was known as the bilboquet and was often mentioned in the diaries of the wealthy and educated. It was recorded that the daughter of Marie Antoninette owned an ivory bilboquet. French engravings often portrayed members of nobility and the upper-class enjoying the game. The Ball 'n Cup is not a game reserved for the sophisticated however. When Captain Cook discovered the South Sandwich Islands in 1775 he found that the natives had a primitive version of this game already!
The Challenge: How many times in a row can you catch the ball in the cup?

Shahar Pe'er and Dudi Sela will enter Wimbledon in inauspicious form after
suffering straight-set exits at the Den Bosch Open in the Netherlands on
Tuesday.Pe'er, ranked No. 47 in the world, dropped to a 6-2, 7-6 (5)
secondround defeat to the in-form Dominika Cibulkova (13), who reached the
quarterfinals at Roland Garros two weeks ago by beating world No. 1 Victoria
Azarekna.The 25-year-old Israeli has now gone 11 tournaments without
progressing past a second round.Sela (106) has won consecutive matches
just once in his last 12 ATP Tour tournaments after falling to a 6- 1, 6-2
first-round loss to Poland's Lukasz Kubot (48) on Tuesday.Sela hasn't
been past the second round of a Grand Slam tournament since Wimbledon three
years ago, while Pe'er has failed to do so since last January's Australian
Open.Wimbledon starts on Monday.Elsewhere, Petra Kvitova's
preparations for the defense of her Wimbledon title suffered a setback when she
was beaten by Russia's Ekaterina Makarova in the first round of the Eastbourne
International on Tuesday.The No. 2 seed, who beat Maria Sharapova in the
final of last year's Wimbledon, lost 7-5, 6-4 to Makarova who is ranked 48th in
the world.Kvitova had looked in good shape heading into the grass-court
season, having lost in the semifinals of the French Open to eventual champion
Sharapova.Meanwhile, British police are investigating a complaint of
assault after Argentine player David Nalbandian injured a linesman in a petulant
outburst during the final of the Queen's Club tournament at the
weekend.The governing body of men's tennis (ATP) said separately that
they had fined the player the maximum of 10,000 euros ($12,600). Nalbandian had
already forfeited prize money (at least $56,800) and ranking points for the
week.The ATP also said he could face an additional fine or ban once the
governing body has finished reviewing the incident.Nalbandian was
leading Sunday's match 7-6, 3-3 when he dropped serve in the seventh game and
reacted by kicking out at a wooden advertising board which disintegrated on
impact and slammed into official Andrew McDougall's left leg.A shocked
McDougall cried out and instantly clutched his shin.When he rolled up
his trouser leg, blood could be seen seeping from the wound.He received
some on-court attention before being escorted off the ground to the club's
medical center.After prolonged discussions between officials, umpire
Fergus Murphy disqualified Nalbandian for "unsportsmanlike behavior" and awarded
the match to his Croatian opponent Marin Cilic.A Scotland Yard spokesman
said on Monday: "An allegation of assault has been made to us relating to an
incident at the...tennis tournament and we are now
investigating."Nalbandian apologized after the incident, saying: "I know
what I did is a mistake, 100 percent. I feel very sorry for the guy. I didn't
want to do that. But sometimes you get angry and you cannot control those
moments."Reuters contributed to this report

Detroit -- They wore red and they skated beneath rows and rows of banners. But these are not the Red Wings you know, quite literally.
They have a lot of work ahead, more than they realized, and it's becoming obvious with every weak rush, every turnover, every injury. It's hard to find a recognizable face or a familiar pace these days, and it might take a while to get any better.
This was a home opener with a nice start, a feisty finish and little in between. The Stars beat the Wings, 2-1, Tuesday night, and the sellout crowd at Joe Louis Arena didn't have much to cheer about. Hmm. Maybe that's the genius of the Wings' half-off deal on draught beer, one of several attempts to win fans back. Welcome them home, then pickle them into patience.
Sorry, but that's all the Wings can do right now, pushing forward without their usual assortment of stars, not to mention eight players sidelined with ailments ranging from groin pulls to flu. They're 1-2 and have been outshot and outhit, and sometimes have no idea what to do with the puck.
No D in the D
The Wings are 0-for-15 on the power play, and in their first three efforts against the Stars, they collected precisely one shot. Dallas had four short-handed shots and several prime chances. Jimmy Howard kept it close with an outstanding effort, and he'll have to do a lot more of that with Detroit's leaky, inexperienced (and occasionally awful) defense.
"It didn't look like we had zip," Mike Babcock said. "I thought the power play was terrible. We passed it around and passed it around. One thing is, when we had Nick (Lidstrom) and Homer (Tomas Holmstrom), one shot the puck and the other was at the net all the time. We'll get it fixed."
They don't have much time to get it fixed. Injuries are a reality in the lockout-shortened season, and there's no time to lament missed chances. Rookie Damien Brunner is providing a spark, and the Wings need more from others. He scored with 3.4 seconds left in this one, after tallying a dazzling winner in the shootout in Columbus the night before.
Against Dallas goalie Kari Lehtonen, the Wings didn't generate nearly enough. Valterri Filppula clanked a puck off the post and Henrik Zetterberg narrowly missed numerous times, leading a late charge as the Wings outshot the Stars, 20-6, in the third period.
"We were forcing plays, one and done all the time," Zetterberg said of the power play. "We think too much instead of working for second chances."
Awaiting reinforcements
Right now, the Wings are struggling to do more with fewer bodies. It will help when Darren Helm, Todd Bertuzzi, Mikael Samuelsson and Jonathan Ericsson return, some as soon as Friday night. Depth up front was supposed to be their strength, but we haven't seen it yet. Gaping uncertainty on defense was supposed to be their weakness, and we've seen that.
How stark is the current reality? Before the game, the Wings honored the newly retired Holmstrom, who spent 15 seasons tipping in goals and causing net-front mayhem. He wasn't a star but he was an invaluable element on loaded teams — and he played on the fourth line.
These days, the Wings are lucky if they can cobble together two lines.
Pavel Datsyuk is a creative force but he needs to be an offensive force with the absence of scoring options. Same with Zetterberg and Johan Franzen. If the Wings are to survive this season with playoff streaks and dignity intact, their best players have to be great, because more great players aren't on the way.
In fact, the Wings had to use two defensemen — Brian Lashoff and Kent Huskins — who weren't on the roster three days ago. Huskins, 33, woke up as a minor leaguer in Norfolk, Va., Tuesday morning, then got the call and caught a flight to Detroit. Then he gobbled down some pasta and gobbled up 15 decent minutes of ice time.
Some admirable efforts, but you can't win with a roster full of grinders and role players. As tenacious as Holmstrom was, the Wings would not have won four Stanley Cups if he was forced to be a heavy-minutes guy. Fans love the fighting spirit of Jordin Tootoo, and they should, but they miss some scoring spirit.
I think the Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Brunner line could be very productive, and that's where the Wings pin a lot of their hope. Helm's return should provide a speedy boost. This isn't all on that shattered defensive corps, either. The forwards have to be more responsible, with the Wings giving up way too many breakaways.
Lidstrom is not walking through that locker room door. Neither is Holmstrom or Brad Stuart. This was the Wings' third game in four nights, and while the arena was mostly full, there wasn't much for the fans to buzz about.
"I'm disappointed we couldn't get it done for our fans," Babcock said.
"We're a team in flux, as everybody knows, but we're gonna get better. We'll be just fine."
They'll have to get considerably better to reach the fine stage. And as everybody knows in this truncated season, there isn't much time to get it done.

User Manager/10.0
The PC-BSD® User Manager utility allows you to easily add and delete users and groups, as well as change a user's or the root user's password. To access this utility, go to Control Panel/10.0 → User Manager/10.0 or type pc-su pc-usermanager. You will need to input your password in order to access this utility.
Managing User Accounts
In the example shown in Figure 8.10a, the system has two user accounts. The dru account has the ability to become the superuser as the "Can administrate system" checkbox is checked.
If you click the "Remove" button for a highlighted user, a pop-up menu will ask if you would like to also delete the user's home directory (along with all of their files). If you click "No", the user will still be deleted but their home directory will remain. If you have only created one user account, the "Remove" button will be greyed out as you need at least one user to be able to login to the PC-BSD® system.
The password for any user can be changed by first highlighting the user name then clicking the "Change Password" button. You will not be prompted for the old password in order to reset a user's password; this can be handy if a user has forgotten their password and can no longer log into the PC-BSD® system. If you click the "Change Admin Password" button, you can change the root password.
If you click the "Advanced View" button, this screen will change to show all of the accounts on the system, not just the user accounts that you created. An example is seen in Figure 8.10b.
The accounts that you did not create are known as system accounts and are needed by the operating system or installed applications. You should not delete any accounts that you did not create yourself as doing so may cause a previously working application to stop working. "Advanced View" provides additional information associated with each account, such as the user ID number, full name (description), home directory, default shell, and primary group. System accounts usually have a shell of nologin for security reasons, meaning that an attacker cannot try to login to the system using that account name.
Figure 8.10c shows the add user account creation screen that opens when you click the "Add" button.
This screen is used to input the following information when adding a new user or system account:
Full Name: this field provides a description of the account and can contain spaces. If it is a user account, use the person's first and last name. If it is a system account, input a description to remind you which application uses the account.
Username: the name the user will use when they log in to the system; it is case sensitive and can not contain any spaces. If you are creating a system account needed by an application, use the name provided by the application's installation instructions. If the name that you choose already exists as an account, it will be highlighted in red and the utility will prompt you to use another name.
Home Directory: leave this field empty for a user account as the system will automatically create a ZFS dataset for the user's home directory under /usr/home/username. However, if you are creating a system account it is important to override this default by typing in /var/empty or /nonexistent unless the application's installation instructions specify that the account needs a specific home directory.
Shell: this drop-down menu contains the shells that are available to users when they are at a command prompt. You can either keep the default or select a shell which the user prefers.
Primary Group: if you leave the default button of "New Group" selected, a group will be created with the same name as the user. This is usually what you want unless you are creating a system account and the installation instructions specify a different group name. Note that the drop-down menu for specifying a group name will only show existing groups, but you can quickly create a group using the "Groups" tab.
Password: the password is case-sensitive and needs to be confirmed.
Encrypt Files: if this box is selected, the user's home directory will automatically be encrypted with PEFS[1]. When the user logs in, the contents of their home directory are automatically decrypted after they enter their password. When they logout, the contents of their home directory are automatically encrypted and will appear as gibberish to other users who do not know the password. For this reason, it is important to select a good password that the user will not forget. At this time, there is no easy mechanism for changing the user's password if their home directory is encrypted. A future version of PC-BSD® will add a utility to allow the user to manage their password and encryption key.
Once you have made your selections, press the "Ok" button to create the account.
Managing Groups
If you click the "Groups" tab, you can view all of the groups on the system, as seen in Figure 8.8d.
This screen has 3 columns:
Groups: shows all of the groups on the system.
Available: shows all of the system and user accounts on the system in alphabetical order.
Members: indicates if the highlighted group contains any user accounts.
To add an account to a group, highlight the group name in the first column. Then, highlight the account name in the "Available" column. Click the right arrow and the selected account will appear in the "Members" column. You should only add user accounts to groups that you create yourself or when an application's installation instructions indicate that an account needs to be added to a group.
If you click the "Add" button, a pop-up menu will prompt you for the name of the new group. Once you press "OK", the group will be added to the "Groups" column.
If you click the "Remove" button, the highlighted group will automatically be deleted after you press the "Apply" button, so be sure to do this with care. Again, do not remove any groups that you did not create yourself or applications that used to work may stop working.
