Tank Men: The Story of the First Crews
- 25 March 2016 — 26 March 2021 *on now
The Tank Museum's landmark First World War Centenary exhibition, Tank Men: The Story of the First Crews, focuses on the stories of eight men who crewed the first tanks, 1916-1918.
The new exhibition tells the stories of eight First World War British tank soldiers who were among the pioneers of armoured warfare. These individuals were carefully chosen following extensive research in the Museums archives, drawing upon previously unseen materials – documents, images and supporting collections - to assemble their service histories.
Elliot Hotblack, Cyril Coles, Sydney Hadley, Archie Smith, Basil Henriques, Walter Ratcliffe, Charles Baker and Clement Arnold were chosen to feature in the exhibition because they stood out. Each man's involvement with First World War tanks resulted in remarkable experiences – dramatic and moving stories that have stood the test of time and have an emotional impact that still resonates today.
Alongside the personal stories are of course the tanks themselves. The Museum boasts the finest collection of First World War tanks in the world including the only Mark 1 tank in existence. This new exhibition will serve to illustrate the link between the tanks, the people who served in them and their extraordinary stories.
Admission to this exhibition is included in the Museum Admission fee.

Worries about your ability to meet your many obligations could weigh heavily on your mind today. Finances, business affairs, and other responsibilities could be causing you stress. It can be difficult to accept that some circumstances may be outside your control. Consider, however, that the time you spend worrying could be better used to monitor or change your circumstances. It might also serve you to stop thinking about any situations that you have no control over and allow for them to unfold naturally. Taking a break today and engaging in an activity you enjoy may also help you release some of your anxiety.
Understanding that there are many circumstances beyond your control can ease your anxiety and allow you to concentrate wholeheartedly on what you can control. Though it is important to be proactive, there are some situations in life that you have to just allow to play out. Focusing on what you have influence over and not mulling over what you cannot control can help you avoid expending unnecessary energy. You can then use the time you would have spent worrying to create change in the areas of life where you can. You'll also feel less stressed and have energy left to nurture yourself. When you accept today that there is much in life that is beyond your control, you can relax and surrender.

Are You Ready for SensorWorld?
Sensors, sensors, everywhere sensors. In our clothes, our shoes, air conditioners, cars, diapers and beds. And what are all these sensors doing? They're collecting and analyzing data of course – billions of discrete pieces of information every picosecond of every day so we can, a) make informed decisions and, b) automate all of the things connected by the IoT (Internet of Things). Soon sensors embedded in my pajamas will determine I'm dehydrated from having a little too much fun the night before, then send a message to the 3-D food printer in my kitchen to make a drink designed to replenish my electrolytes. Sensors will also heat my house the minute my car heads for home and tell me when my 16-year old is driving over the speed limit.
Sound far-fetched? It shouldn't.
Recently, Senior Editor of Wired Magazine, Bill Wasik, reported, "A new device revolution is at hand: just as mobile phones and tablets displaced the once-dominant PC, wearable devices are poised to push smartphones aside." In truth, the U.S. sensor market is expected to surpass $15 billion in 2016, causing On World to forecast that by 2017, global shipments of wearable, implantable, and mobile health and fitness devices will be up 552% from 2012.
Welcome to SensorWorld.
Now sensors and data analytics are preparing to go where 'no man has gone before.' Tackling an activity we spend a third of our lives ignoring: sleep! Why sleep? The National Sleep Foundation reports that 43% of Americans rarely get a good night's sleep, and 60% experience a sleep problem almost every night. A recent Gallup poll revealed that since 1942, the amount of sleep we get has decreased roughly a half an hour per night and continues to trend downward. And the Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) claims over 9 million Americans currently rely on a pharmaceutical to fall asleep.
According to technology pioneer, and inventor of the world's first camera phone,Philippe Kahn, our growing problem with sleep began during the Industrial Revolution when "the mythical eight-hour sleep night" was fabricated to extract longer hours from factory workers. "Before the Industrial Revolution," Kahn explained, "people were mostly sleeping in two shifts… nobody was really sleeping eight hours straight." He continued, "The concept that we have to sleep in uninterrupted ways all the time, in a perfectly quiet environment, in a perfectly dark room… to me is a misconception and something that is misleading people to understand how to optimize their sleep."
Kahn stumbled on the idea of "budgeting" sleep on a record-setting, two-man Transpacific sailing trip in 2009. With a two-person crew, each person is allowed to sleep for only brief periods of time. So Kahn decided to use his sailboat as a laboratory to determine the amount of sleep that produced the highest levels of alertness and energy. He discovered that number was twenty-six minutes. From that point on Kahn began modeling his sleep after his dog – short periods of deep rest with the ability to wake at a moment's notice in a high state of "readiness," and then quickly return to a deep sleep. Kahn claims that from an evolutionary standpoint this is the way humans were designed to sleep – they function best when sleep is "budgeted" for, and "optimized," in the same way we do investment planning – only when it comes to sleep, returns are measured in terms of health and productivity.
Enter Kahn's latest breakthrough in sensor and data analytics technology: the Smart Bed. The Smart Bed replaces the traditional "box-spring" with a sensor-based unit designed to monitor movement, body temperature and other metrics so we can optimize when and how much we sleep. The Smart Bed and Sleep Tracker was developed by Kahn's company Fullpower – an enterprise focused on precise, non-invasive data monitoring and analysis. According to Kahn, sleep was a logical application for his company because of the number of hours humans spend sleeping, the mythology surrounding the need for a continuous eight-hour rest, and his personal revelations while sailing. Kahn observes, "Sleep is a bit like the deep ocean. We know it is there but we don't understand it well. Modern science doesn't understand sleep very well because it is very difficult to monitor sleep in a non-invasive way." With the new Smart Bed, Kahn is poised to revolutionize the way humans rest and the effect this will have on efficiency, output, health and ultimately, longevity.
While Fullpower is pushing the frontiers of sleep technology, other companies are leveraging sensor and data analytics technologies to optimize other areas. Pixie Scientific, is embedding sensors into "smart diapers" that will allow diseases, dehydration and nutritional deficiencies to be detected in diapers. Intel's new Smart Band tracks, monitors and analyzes the tremor patterns of Parkinson's patients, and a new generation of smart pills and monitoring patches from Proteus are in the works. Peter Reinhart, Director of the Institute for Applied Life Sciences for the University of Massachusetts recently revealed that sensor technologies would soon shift from diagnosis to treatment, "As we get better and better at this, we're going to find that new therapeutic options are going to be open to us. Identifying an Alzheimer's patient at the [observable] behavioral point, when 70 percent of the brain mass has already disappeared, really limits the number of therapeutic options you can provide that patient. If you could identify someone like that seven or eight years earlier, it now opens up a very different array of intervention strategies."
But, as Kahn points out, collecting and translating data is only half the story. The other half is connecting to devices, which will be automatically instructed by the analyzed data. Google's Nest offers a home app that uses sensors, analytics and the internet to connect everything from your thermostat to your fire alarms and home security system. Apple has launched a similar IoT application called HomeKit. According to Kahn, the Smart Bed will have the ability to turn your bedroom thermostat down when your body is at rest and turn the heat back up when the bed senses you are waking. It will lift the shades in your bedroom, signal the hot water heater to ready the shower, and the coffee machine to prepare your coffee just the way you like it. And if that sounds like the stuff of science fiction, look again. Theo Priestly, technology strategist and Forbes contributor claims the IoT will be comprised of 50 billion interconnected devices before 2020 – representing a whopping $19 trillion market. Fitbit, smart watches, smart clothing, diapers and beds are just the beginning. Within the next five years, sensors will monitor, customize and automate everything.

Wear It's At
Wearable technology is changing how we exercise, and even how we live—but you ain't seen nothin' yet
We live in an age where technology is intertwined into almost every aspect of our lives. Perhaps the only place it hasn't yet completely conquered is our own bodies. That may be why mainstream culture greeted certain wearable technology like Google Glass with distrust and even outright hostility—after all, once technology is on us, isn't it only a matter of time before it's in us, or simply is us?
But Philippe Kahn, best known as the inventor of the camera phone, and now CEO and founder of Santa Cruz-based Fullpower Technologies Inc., thinks that attitude is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. More and more consumers are embracing gadgets like FitBits, smart watches, smart beds, and even fitness-tracking smart shoes for their potential to revolutionize the fitness and health care industries. These wearables can track every aspect of daily life, from sleep patterns to steps taken to heart rate, calories burned, body weight, and time spent standing.
Meanwhile, Kahn's company is already working on all sorts of ideas that will help usher in the next era of wearable tech. Why is he betting the industry will continue to grow? Because knowledge is power. When it comes to improving our health and lifestyles, extremely individualized data can go a long way. And when we decide to make a change and do something about it, wearable technology can provide immediate feedback on our progress.
"It's simple and amazingly efficient," Kahn tells GT. Wearable technology provides the kind of information that can get results fast, he says, which feeds its popularity. "Without any other changes, if Ms. and Mr. Everyone are just a little more active and sleep just a little more, health immediately improves."
Whereas current fitness wristbands and watches collect data mainly through an accelerometer that tracks step-related movements or lack thereof, devices of the future will be able to distinguish among many different and diverse types of exercise, as well as provide data about blood sugar, hydration, hormone levels, and beyond. Additionally, whereas a current concern among wearable technology users and makers is a lack of privacy, the wearable tech of the future will use authentication techniques that are unique to every individual, such as heart rhythm.
Current wearable fitness trackers are fairly limited in the types of exercise they can track, and this is especially true if the exercise doesn't involve taking steps. The next generation of wearable tech will not only be able to "learn" and measure new exercises performed by the wearer, it will also be able to more accurately track activities like weight lifting, swimming, and even something like playing an instrument that while usually performed stationary is nonetheless a legitimate workout for the upper body. Future fitness wearables will also be able to instantly access the wearer's diet and medical history and even be able to "critically think" and provide advice. Smart sports gear is also just around the corner, such as a basketball that has an implanted computer and can track made baskets and provide feedback on shooting form, or a football that can help aspiring quarterbacks throw a tighter spiral.
Exercise and sport aren't the only frontiers for wearable technologies. They show even greater potential to improve personal health on a large scale because they provide a larger amount of more accurate data to a doctor or health care provider. As long as the patient consistently wears his or her health-and-fitness-tracking wearable technology, a doctor can easily use the data from the device to get a more accurate picture of the patient's lifestyle. This will allow doctors to make better decisions and diagnoses than ever before. Eventually, wearable technology will allow doctors to treat patients remotely, without having to see them in person—transforming health care for travelers, those who find it difficult or impossible to visit a doctor's office, and pretty much everyone else.
Some examples of cutting-edge health care wearable technology include body-worn sensors and contact lenses that monitor blood sugar levels and could revolutionize the care and management of diabetes, an increasingly common condition in America. Companies are also developing smart bras that track breast health, as well as wearable technology that could help a person quit smoking by detecting cravings and then releasing medication before the smoker falls off the wagon and lights up a cigarette. There is even ingestible technology being developed that is powered by stomach acid and could monitor the timing and consistency of when a person takes their medications. This could provide doctors with unprecedented information about the adherence to and effectiveness of prescribed therapies.
Wearable technology, however, is still in its infancy, or, at most, its toddlerhood. And there are plenty of growing pains.
One challenge is the drive to constantly improve the accuracy of the data these devices provide. When current wearable technology can only provide estimates on steps taken, calories burned, or anything else, it simply isn't good enough. This can be a major problem, especially if health care providers are basing recommendations for medication, exercise, diet, and lifestyle on the accuracy of this data.
"Accuracy is important, as that is key work that Fullpower focuses on more than any other company on the planet," says Kahn. But for most current applications of wearable technology, he believes this issue shouldn't be overblown. "Remember that the benefits come from being more active and sleeping a little longer, not necessarily understanding every detail of everything."
At this point, there is little industry regulation and no governing body to make independent verifications of wearable technology data, and to make sure standards are upheld. Greater industry regulation with independently verified data will go a long way toward legitimizing the entire industry. "We sure hope this happens soon, as it will make Fullpower's technology shine even more," says Kahn. "My understanding is that there are a couple of labs who are evaluating the business opportunity."
There is also the issue of interpretation of all this data—without it, the information is basically useless. "It's not just quantified self-measuring, it's using big data science to give meaningful insights," explains Kahn. "For example, Fullpower's new Sleeptracker® Smartbed will soon start being deployed by major bedding manufacturers and will provide lots of insights and tools to improve sleep." Kahn says the insight the smart bed provides is based on data from more than 500 million nights of detailed recorded sleep, and calls it "the greatest sleep study ever."
Wearable technology not only needs to be stylish, in Kahn's view, it also needs to be at least somewhat invisible or at least seamlessly integrated into a person's "look." Making a one-size-fits-all product that also has universal aesthetic appeal is no small challenge. Just consider how many different companies sell widely diverse products that are all essentially either a shoe, a shirt, a hat, or anything else wearable.
"We believe that wearable tech and fashion are tied at the hip. We are focused on making non-invasive technology that is green, invisible and beautifully discreet," says Kahn.
Battery life is another challenge. "Fullpower is working on energy harvesting off the host. It's no different than getting solar energy to work in the home," says Kahn. His company recently launched the Movado smartwatch that can run for over two years without a charge. Whether it's using body heat, body movement, or some other source, renewable energy is a big part of the future of wearable technology.
As bright as the future may be for wearable fitness technology, the possibilities for merging man and machine on a larger scale may be even more astounding. For example, Lockheed Martin has developed an unpowered exoskeleton that makes heavy tools feel almost weightless, as if they are being used in zero gravity. This kind of technology could revolutionize many industries including construction, demolition, disaster cleanup, and first-responder situations. Still other exoskeletons are being used to help paraplegics regain the use of their legs and walk again. There is even wearable technology being developed that turns sound into patterns of vibration felt on the skin from a garment that, with training, can help the deaf "hear" the world around them in a similar way to how Braille turns letters and words on a page into tactile representations that allow the blind to "see." Some people are even pushing the boundaries of our senses by implanting magnets into their fingertips in order to be able to "feel" electromagnetism.
The incredible neuroplasticity of the human brain allows for all of this remarkable technology to be seamlessly integrated into the brain's representation of the body over time. For example, ask any experienced surfer where the body ends and they will all tell you that eventually the surfboard becomes an extension of the self. To them, the body does not end at the foot, it ends on the wave.
All of this seemingly space-age technology being closer to our doorstep than most of us thought begs the question: How much technology is too much technology? But the reality is that technology is in many ways the ultimate embodiment of everything it means to be human, showcasing our ingenuity, ambition and creativity. Wearable technology is only the latest expression of an age-old truth: We have always been natural born cyborgs, using technology to transcend ourselves and our biology.

Philippe Kahn wanderte einst illegal in die USA ein. Heute ist er eine der Ikonen des Silicon Valley – und entscheidet mit darüber, wie Mensch und Maschine sich miteinander vernetzen.
Philippe Kahn hat sich auf sein Fahrrad geschwungen und ist die 3,5 Kilometer von seinem Haus am Hafen ins Büro gefahren, in der Innenstadt der kalifornischen Küstenstadt Santa Cruz. Es ist Mittag, Kahn muss erst einmal etwas essen und lässt sich eine Platte Sushi kommen. Er habe die ganze Nacht durchgearbeitet, sagt er und lacht dröhnend – 'um herauszufinden, wie man besser schläft'. Denn er tüftelt gerade an einem 'smarten Bett', also an einer Liegestatt, die den Schlaf der Menschen verbessern soll.
Wie das genau funktioniert, will er nicht sagen. Fest steht er nur, dass er das Bett nicht selber auf den Markt bringen, sondern dies einem bekannter Hersteller überlassen will. 'Wir sind die Leute hinter den Kulissen', sagt Kahn.

"Kill the bourgeoisie"...
we've heard it before, Mikey.
But you forgot to disarm us first.
So, if Moore's recommendations are followed, how much wealth will he be allowed to keep?
Does Moore count himself as the "rich"?:)
Hey Mike....I understand you don't bathe regularly. Keep your distance, Mike. 2000+ miles at least....
"Does Moore count himself as the rich?:)"
"Rich" is a code word for "Jew".
Henry Luce said, "By any Marxian pattern of how classes behave, the upper class should be for you and the lower classes should be against you. How do you explain that?" In answering Luce's question, a European guest at the meeting who Chambers calls Smetana said to Luce: "You dont understand the class structure of American society or you would not ask such a question. In the United States, the working class are Democrats, the middle class are Republicans and the upper class are Communists." This very revealing answer to Luce many years ago explains why so many wealthy and successful people in our business, entertainment industry and government are liberal leftist (communists?).
I wonder what 400 pounds of liberal cooking on a spit smells luke...
What pisses me off is that this fata$$ douchebag IS RICH HIMSELF!!!
I have my list...do you have yours?
Thank God for the 2nd Amendment...the only Amendment that protects the rest.
I don't believe it's a codeword for "Jew",
I think it's a code word for "non-communist property owner".
It is a more operative truth, in our system, that no one ever got rich without enriching others.
Would he condemn them to the guillotine?
The left isn't going to stop until it's 1968 all over again.
Wonder why he doesn't move to North Korea? Seems like it would be more to his liking.
If Michael Moore was diagnosed with a flesh-eating disease, his doctors would give him 43 years to live.
Hey Michael Moore - Charity begins at home!
North Korea is already communist.
Remember the goal is to communize the whole world, so moving to NK wouldn't further that goal.
Hey Mikie you fat slobbering moron, please bring it on. I ain't rich, but i do know who the enemies of freedom are and Mikie you are one.
"Death to the Kulaks!"
It is a more operative truth, in our system, that no one ever got rich without enriching others.
Now that I think about it, only in the private sector is it true that one cannot get rich without enriching others. In the government sphere, it happens all the time.
The only things 'scared' by MM are donuts.....
No, because he wears a baseball cap. That makes him a "little" guy.
"Wait a tic ... blimey, this redistribution of wealth is trickier than I thought."
A planned economy is very attractive to somebody with the arrogance to think that he would be a member of the planning class.
The "old money" rich do not necessarily have the IQ, energy, and drive that allowed their ancestors to accumulate the money they now live on. What they DO have are connections -- they and their lawyers know people in government and in the bureaucracies. The bigger government gets, the more valuable those connections become as far as getting waivers for themselves, and handicapping their competitors.

It doesn't do a thing to explain it, but I can. Communism buys security for the rich at the expense of the middle class. The rich have tax-exempt foundations in which to hide most of their personal spending money. Said foundations are also conduits for "investments" in "charities" that manipulate the resources and markets in which they are invested. Hence, the more power government has to influence said markets the more secure are the rich... only so long as the middle class survives to provide the government operating cash flow.
The smart rich know they can only build the gate so high. And, and, sooner or later history proves that people when they've had enough arent going to take it anymore. And much better to deal with it nonviolently now, through the political system, than what could possibly happen in the future, which nobody wants to see,
I am sure there is an sound idea and a grammatically correct expression there. I am working on it right now I'll get back to you when I figure out what the f$#@ he is saying.
I am just kidding, because I DO know what he is saying.
It is nothing new in the realm of the perennial 'have-not's' incessant whining. It's centuries old actually, but the same none the less.
Their logic and ability to express themselves beyond, "I WANT" and "GIVE ME", has not improved.
Here's some rock solid and pure gold advise to Liberals who insist on demanding MORE than what they are willing to work for and earn themselves:
The FIRST step in changing ANYTHING ON EARTH is to f^$#ing PAY ATTENTION in school
LOL! Save your ammo and make him walk up a flight of stairs.
Silliness. Michael Moore couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag. Who's he kidding?
I concur.
This is how it started in the Soviet Union. In the end, anyone who could afford to buy tgheir own food was a "Kulak".
It's another one of his usual rabble rousing exercises in "Let's you and him fight!".
You won't find Fat Mike (or any of his ilk) anywhere near the front lines of a war he started.
Problem is: there are a lot (on both sides) itching for a fight.
L: "You thieving capitalists better watch it or we'll have a 'Union Spring' a la Egypt!"
R: "Bring it commie!"
Lather, rinse, repeat.
The rational will just sling more rhetoric.
Some nut will act on it. Harper's Ferry, Archduke Ferdinand...
Michael: You forget, elephant a$$, that you ARE a rich person...or did you spend all of your money feeding your bloated face?
Another thing about the "old money" rich is that they want to keep their "club" exclusive. Communism is a great way to "pull the ladder up" to keep others from climbing into their exclusive lofty treehouse.
The second rule Fat Mike forgot is that the press and their cadre are the first casualties under any despot.
Yeah, they're working on that. It's called Operation Fast and Furious.
12 gauge slugs would work, and be more appropriate. A slug for a slug.
I think he believes that if it does happen, he's going to be held responsible, and he needs to be disabused of that notion.
And the commies are sitting on the side, agitating the conflict, so that when it gets "hot", they can step in with government guns to quell the violence.
LOL The idiots that get all excited and want to follow Michael on his "anti-rich" roadshow apparently don't understand this guy is richer than most he would call "rich".
They're using the term "rich" exactly as the communists use the term "bourgeoisie".
It's OK to be rich, in their minds, as long as you're "one of them", ie, a communist.
Fat boy michael is a classic libtard. Liberal RETARD.
Just like the dimrat party, 1/2 of the repub party and the frikkin entire media.
They want to lauch a class war. Take down the rich. Take their property. Make them poor. Teach them a lesson. on and on and on. Problem these morons don't understand the concept of usefull idiots. These hollyweird goofs see themselves as the vanguard of a revolution but don't have a clue that once the wolves are let loose, they will be prey as well. They think that they will be on the sidelines as spectators. Won't they be surprised.
The media should be really concerned about this kind of idea because dicatators use the existing media to launch a revolution, then dispose of that same media later down the road. But this crop of media is so blinded by their ideology, they will never see it coming.
...the rich hire people with guns.
There are two types of leftists -
the deceivers and the deceived.
I don't believe that Mikey is deceived. He's one of the deceivers.

Posthumous publishing
Fiona McCann
Course, we all think we deserve another Nabakov. And he's been dead for over thirty years now, so should what he thinks – or thought – even matter at this point? These are the questions which arose around the publication of Vladimir Nabakov's The Original of Laura, a book the Russian-born author stipulated should be destroyed after his death. Instead, it was consigned to a vault by his wife Vera, only to be removed therefrom by the couple's son Dimitri, who finally, towards the end of his own life, went against his father's dying wishes and published it. John Banville argues that if Nabakov had really wanted it destroyed, he would have ensured its destruction and that, regardless, an author on his deathbed is not the best judge of what should be done with his work. Tom Stoppard disagrees, making the point that we owe it to the author to respect his dying wishes. Now that it's out there, reviewers are divided about the result, a book of the work in progress comprised of images of the series of index cards on which he had made the notes for the book he never finished. But is it fair to judge him on something he himself believed should never see the light of day? Does any of this matter given that the man himself has long shuffled off this mortal coil? And if you feel the author has been badly treated, would it stop you from buying the book? Your thoughts, please.

NEW YORK -- Hey, sometimes you get the lucky bounces and sometimes the other team does. At least that was the spin coming out of the Rangers locker room last night after the Blueshirts lost for the first time in this Hudson River playoff series.
John Madden's goal, a shot that deflected in off the skate of Rangers rookie defenseman Marc Staal at 6:01 of overtime, gave the Devils a 4-3 victory that kept them alive in the series. Afterward, the basic message from the Rangers was: Well, nobody said this was supposed to be easy.
"Those first two games, the lucky breaks went our way," Rangers captain Jaromir Jagr said. "Today, they went their way in overtime. They shoot it on the net and -- nobody said it's going to be easy, you know? It's going to be hard. We've got to take all the positives -- we still have the lead, 2-1, and the next game is at home."
Game 4 will be at Madison Square Garden, but not until Wednesday, which means the Rangers will have time to get over their lost opportunity to take a stranglehold on the series.
The wackiness started early, as the Devils took their first lead of the series on Sergei Brylin's goal just 3:01 into the game. Initially, referee Mike Hasenfratz waved the goal off, ruling that Brylin had kicked the puck in, but the play went to review and the officials in Toronto ruled that the goal should stand.
"It looked like it was a kicking motion, but I have to see it on tape," Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist said.
That was the start of a long night that was uncharacteristically filled with goals. The Rangers got the equalizer on Brandon Dubinsky's first of two goals before the period was over, and took the lead when Sean Avery scored a five-on-three goal in the second. Patrik Elias tied the score at 2-2 on a power-play goal of his own before Zach Parise gave the Devils the lead, 3-2, on a shot that hit the Rangers' Brendan Shanahan, then the stick of Lundqvist -- who was lying flat on the ice -- and then flipped up, hit the goalie's back and slid in.
"There were some funny bounces," Shanahan said. "Henrik, I would say, had some bad luck on those goals -- one went off their skate, one went off our skate. Another one I got a real good piece of and it seemed to crawl up (Lundqvist's) body.
"That's playoffs, though," he continued. "That's sort of how it goes. You put crowds at the net, you throw pucks at the net. Those plays, while you may call them lucky -- it is and it isn't. Those are things that players practice and things that we do intentionally."
Which was pretty much the way Rangers coach Tom Renney felt about the whole "bad luck" argument. Asked if the bounces that went the Devils' way were random or went to the team that deserved them, Renney picked the second option.
"I think it's the latter," the coach said. "We have to accept that. We've had some bounces ourselves. We haven't lost to these guys in regulation in 11 games. But having said that, it was a fortuitous bounce, but they did what they needed to do: They lost the draw (Dubinsky beating Madden in a faceoff), but they jumped it. They had people going to the net, we didn't quite have the body position we needed, and it was in the net.
"So that's the way it goes. You make your breaks, and luck always is on the heels of effort in more cases than not, so we understand that."

Charleston's 16 inning shutout streak came to a crashing halt as Keaton Briscoe hit a two-run home run in the top of the eighth to lead the Greenville Drive past the Charleston RiverDogs, 2-1, in front of 3,635 fans at Riley Park in South Atlantic League baseball Tuesday night.
Greenville (11-8 second half, 32-55 overall) broke through in the eighth against reliever James Pazos (1-1). Following a leadoff single by Jordan Weems, Briscoe hit a drive to right that just cleared the wall.
Charleston (8-8, 47-36) took a 1-0 lead in the third on a single by Danny Oh and an RBI double by Cito Culver. Dante Bichette Jr. went 2 for 4 for the RiverDogs.
RiverDogs starter Vicente Campos went four innings, didn't allow a run, allowed just two hits and struck out two. Brett Gerritse relieved Campos to start the fifth and tossed three scoreless innings while striking out five.
Ballpark fun
HOPE Week began with a bang as the RiverDogs kicked off the five-day initiative by partnering with the American Lung Association. Participants from last year's HOPE Week initiative also attended the game and were recognized on the field.
Coming up
The teams play Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. Right-hander Luis Niebla (3-4, 6.19 ERA) will start for Charleston, while Greenville will counter with righty Jacob Dahlstrand (1-4, 5.84).

Brilliant Broad blows Black Caps away
Follow the Investec Test series on ecb.co.uk - click here for all the latest news, exclusive interviews, video highlights and match reports
Stuart Broad's sensational seven-wicket haul hurried England to a 170-run victory over New Zealand on a thrilling fourth day of the first Investec Test at Lord's.
A nerve-jangling finale appeared likely when the hosts, 180 for six overnight, were dismissed for just 213 in their second innings, with Tim Southee becoming only the second Black Caps bowler to claim 10 wickets in a Lord's Test.
That left New Zealand requiring 239 for victory, but Broad - a bowler with previous when it comes to producing magical spells - then embarked on a destructive new-ball burst that delighted a captivated crowd.
Gaining movement up and down the Lord's slope, the 26-year-old prised out five touring batsmen prior to lunch and finished with career-best figures of 7-44 as New Zealand were skittled for a paltry 68 in 22.3 overs. James Anderson was the only other bowler used.
Broad may have suffered setbacks in the recent past, due to injuries and loss of form, but this was a timely reminder of just how effective he can be when getting on a roll.
Having returned 7-72 at this venue against West Indies 12 months ago, he once again set a new personal benchmark – and this one will take some beating.
Things had looked rather less positive for England earlier in the day when they added just 33 to their overnight total.
As had been the case on the previous evening, Southee was the chief destroyer as he wreaked havoc from the Pavilion End.
The seamer had nightwatchman Steven Finn and Ian Bell held in the slips to complete a fourth five-wicket haul in Tests.
Although Broad counter-attacked effectively with some clean striking, Graeme Swann was soon caught behind to give Southee 10 in the match, a feat previously achieved by only one New Zealander. Dion Nash claimed 11-169 in 1994.
Broad was left stranded on 26 as last man Anderson picked out cover off Kane Williamson to fall for a duck. That ensured England's last eight wickets had added just 54.
New Zealand may have been regarded as favourites in some quarters at the beginning of their chase.
However, Broad soon put England in command with a display of rare potency for any bowler.
Peter Fulton followed one that seamed away off a length to be caught behind in Broad's first over, but the intensity really cranked up in the paceman's third set of six.
After bowling Hamish Rutherford with a snorter that moved up the slope to pluck out off stump, Broad picked up a huge wicket two balls later as Ross Taylor was well held by Alastair Cook low down at first slip.
Kane Williamson picked out Finn at extra-cover soon after and New Zealand were in disarray when Anderson got in on the act with a skilful dismissal of Dean Brownlie. Having been inconvenienced by a delivery that jagged back sharply, the Australia-born batsman was squared up next ball as he edged to Cook.
By that stage England were rampant and Broad duly rounded off a remarkable morning session by trapping McCullum lbw with another that moved up the hill.
He was not finished there. After having Southee put down in the slips, Broad claimed his sixth wicket next ball as New Zealand's bowling hero holed out to Joe Root at deep square-leg.
BJ Watling, batting with an injured left knee, became the first batsman to double figures before Anderson had him caught at third slip.
Broad then cleaned up Bruce Martin - another injured Kiwi - and Neil Wagner was run out in farcical fashion after being dropped at fine-leg, handing England victory inside an hour of the afternoon session.
The second and final Test starts at Headingley on Friday.
Live Text Commentary
Afternoon Session
New Zealand 2nd Innings
2:30pm - WICKET! Wagner run out 17; NZ 68 all out – ENGLAND WIN BY 170 RUNS! Well this is a farcical end to proceedings! Wagner top-edges Anderson to fine-leg, but is dropped. However, there is then a calamitous mix-up between the wickets and Wagner is run out. England – on the back of a stunning show from Broad – have romped home!
2:27pm- WICKET! Martin b Broad 1; NZ 67/9 chasing 239 - Broad now has career-best figures of 7-44 after scattering the stumps again!
2:23pm - The appearance of the injured Martin at number 10 does not say much for Trent Boult's ability with the bat. Wagner, meanwhile, is now New Zealand's top-scorer and is throwing the bat in search of more runs.
2:15pm - Wagner is not going down without a fight. The tailender pulls Broad over square-leg for six!
2:10pm - WICKET! Watling c Trott b Anderson 13; NZ 54/8 chasing 239 - England are almost there. Poor old Watling has clearly been hampered by his injured left knee and is put out of his misery as Anderson induces a thick edge to third slip.
2:08pm - New Zealand have at least made it past 50 and there is much to admire in the shot that gets Neil Wagner off the mark, a sweetly timed drive past point.
1:59pm - I stand corrected. Martin has his helmet on and is prepared to bat.
1:57pm - Watling becomes the first New Zealander into double figures in this innings. Remember that Bruce Martin will only bat in an emergency. If England get two more quickly here, I imagine the spinner may well remain in the dressing room.
1:53pm - WICKET! Southee c Root b Broad 7; NZ 41/7 chasing 239 - Broad is denied a sixth scalp as Southee is dropped twice off the same ball. Anderson put down a regulation chance at second slip and Alastair Cook was unable to accept the rebound. Not that it matters! The next ball is pulled high to deep square-leg, where Joe Root makes no mistake!
1:43pm - Southee is lucky to survive when losing sight of a James Anderson bouncer. The ball flew up skywards off his bat only to land safely. Watling gets off the mark with a bizarre cut past gully for four.
1:39pm - Tim Southee, New Zealand's star man with the ball, gets off the mark with a single before Broad beats BJ Watling with a corker.
1:37pm - Have you got your breath back yet? It is time for the afternoon session to begin and I imagine New Zealand may still be a little shellshocked. There are two balls of Stuart Broad's sixth over to be bowled.
Morning Session
12:59pm - WICKET! McCullum lbw Broad 8; NZ 29/6 chasing 239 – I can barely believe what I am seeing here. Broad traps McCullum lbw and New Zealand are six down. The only debate surrounded whether the batsman was struck outside the line of off stump. A review confirmed he was not. That will be lunch and you are unlikely to see a more spectacular session of Test cricket in the near future.
12:52pm - WICKET! Brownlie c Cook b Anderson 5; NZ 25/5 chasing 239 - Now Anderson gets in on the act. What a morning this has been! Brownlie finds himself undone by a classic one-two. After being inconvenienced by one that jagged back sharply, he is beaten by outswing next ball and provides captain Cook with another catch.
12:51pm - Brendon McCullum is off the mark with an off-side boundary. New Zealand need something special from their skipper now.
12:46pm - WICKET! Williamson c Finn b Broad 6; NZ 21/4 chasing 239 - Just when you think New Zealand may have weathered the storm, that man Broad snares another! It was a pretty poor shot from Williamson, who drove aerially to extra-cover.
12:36pm - Dean Brownlie is off the mark with an unconvincing four through the slips. After a maiden from Anderson, there are five men in the cordon for Broad's next over.
12:26pm - WICKET! Taylor c Cook b Broad 0; NZ 16/3 chasing 239 - It's the Stuart Broad Show! This is a massive breakthrough. Ross Taylor, who made a dashing 66 in New Zealand's first innings, edges to first slip where Alastair Cook takes an excellent low catch.
12:23pm - WICKET! Rutherford b Broad 9; NZ 16/2 chasing 239 - It is fair to say this is out! Broad beats Rutherford all ends up with a jaffa that sends off stump cartwheeling and sparks loud applause!
12:22pm - Having been beaten by a snorter from James Anderson, Kane Williamson drives elegantly down the ground for three.
12:18pm - Hamish Rutherford finally gets on strike at the start of the fourth over. The left-hander subsequently picks up New Zealand's first four with a controlled drive past point. A low edge through the slips gives Rutherford another boundary.
12:05pm - WICKET! Fulton c Prior b Broad 1; NZ 1/1 chasing 239 - That will make England feel better. Peter Fulton follows one from Stuart Broad that seamed away a fraction and edges through to Matt Prior.
11:56am - It is crucial England strike early now. If New Zealand are to get home, it will be the third-highest successful run-chase in Tests at this venue.
England 2nd Innings
11:48am - WICKET! Anderson c Southee b Williamson 0; Eng 213 all out - Broad is left stranded as Anderson drives Williamson straight to cover. New Zealand will need 239 to win the first Investec Test.
11:42am - WICKET! Swann c McCullum b Southee 1; Eng 210/9 – Southee strikes again and now has 10 in the match! Swann opened his shoulders to have a thrash outside off, but succeeded only in nicking through to Brendon McCullum. England are 235 ahead as last man James Anderson comes in.
11:38am - New Zealand turn to Kane Williamson (pardon the pun). He found plenty of spin from the Nursery End yesterday evening but his first over this morning passes without incident.
11:30am - Broad, who has been joined by Graeme Swann, is striking the ball sweetly now and aids England's cause with fours through fine-leg and cover off Boult. The second boundary came courtesy of a magnificent drive.
11:20am - WICKET! Bell c Brownlie b Southee 6; Eng 200/8 – Southee has five and England are eight down! This was not the best shot from Bell, who drove loosely a long way outside off and offered up a simple catch to the reliable Dean Brownlie at third slip.
11:15am - Broad is going to play his shots. A flashing drive off Trent Boult runs down to third man for four and three swipes at fresh air follow before Southee is struck cleanly through the covers for another boundary. Broad subsequently picks up three more through the off side and these are handy runs.
11:05am - There will be no pair for Stuart Broad. He takes a leg-side single off the first ball he faces. England need the Nottinghamshire man to hang around.
11:03am - WICKET! Finn c sub (Guptill) b Southee 6; Eng 183/7 - This is not what England wanted. Ian Bell gets off the mark with a square-driven three, but Steven Finn is caught at second slip two balls later. Tim Southee now has 4-37 and England are 183 for seven, leading by 208.
Pre-Play News
10:55am - I am pleased to say the weather forecast for today is pretty good. We should avoid any interruptions for rain if the experts are to be believed. There are showers anticipated tomorrow, but the game might be over by then based on what we have seen over the first three days.
10:46am - We have an injury update from the New Zealand camp. BJ Watling has not fractured the left knee he injured when diving to attempt a run-out yesterday. He will not field today, but is available to bat in the Black Caps' second innings. Bruce Martin, the left-arm spinner, is another player who will not be on the field this morning. His calf injury prevents him from bowling and fielding, and New Zealand have said he will bat only if required.
10:40am - While we wait for play to recommence at the home of cricket, why not take a look at what Joe Root and Tim Southee had to say at the end of day three. Root contributed 71 to a potentially crucial stand of 123 with Jonathan Trott, while Southee led New Zealand's late fightback with three wickets in quick succession.
10:30am - If Alastair Cook's men are to extend their lead significantly this morning, much could depend on Ian Bell. The Warwickshire batsman came in at number eight yesterday, after nightwatchman Steven Finn, having been laid low by tonsillitis. He and Finn will resume their partnership in 30 minutes.
10:20am - After a slow start, the first Investec Test between England and New Zealand has developed into an absolute belter. There is still all to play for as we near the start of play on day four. England are 205 ahead on 180 for six, having been pegged back by the tourists on a dramatic third evening at Lord's.

Spurs waive Danny Green
It was fun while it lasted, but it didn't last long. The San Antonio Spurs announced on Tuesday that the team waived Danny Green.
The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have waived guard/forward Danny Green. Green was signed by the Spurs on November 17 and appeared in two games, averaging 3.0 points in 4.5 minutes.
The Spurs roster now stands at 12.
But he had a career-high six points against the Cavs on Saturday.
So who's next to audition for the role of backup small forward? There aren't any job listings on Monster for backup small forwards in San Antonio, TX, so the team may still be going over their internal list.
I'll let you know when / if they start an outside search.

I'd like to think we're actually pretty strong: It takes a lot to silently control a ping-ponging mind." Read on.
Back in 2006, I had it all: A loving fiancé, a coveted publishing job, a supportive network of friends and family. I was living in Washington, D.C., where I went out almost every night to press parties and trendy restaurants. In my spare time, I delivered meals on wheels and counseled Alzheimer's patients at the local senior center. Perfectionistic and ever so vigilant, I could've won the Perfect Life Olympics.

Macon, Ga. - The Stetson women's soccer team (2-9-2, 1-3-1 Atlantic Sun) picked up an important point in the conference standings with a 2-2 tie at defending A-Sun tournament champion Mercer (7-6-1, 1-4-1 A-Sun) Sunday afternoon at Bear Field. Senior midfielder Alexis Hermosa (Orlando, Fla.) and sophomore forward Alyssa Welsh (Edison, N.J.) scored for the Hatters.
Hermosa got Stetson on the scoreboard first with a goal in the 12th minute as a Mercer foul allowed her to whistle a free kick low past a wall of Bears defenders and into the net. That strike was the team-leading fifth goal of the season for Hermosa. Mercer came back 10 minutes later to tie the match when Casey Barrett and Emerald Phillips played a long service that carried past sophomore goalkeeper Laura Seletos (New Port Richey, Fla.) and to the foot of Olivia Tucker, who knocked it home for her eighth goal of the season.
The Hatters and Bears went to halftime tied 1-1, but it would be Mercer that seized the early second half momentum. Patricia-Anne Upson headed a loose ball in the box into the Stetson net in the 55th minute for a 2-1 Bears advantage. Stetson refused to go away quietly, however, as less than two and a half minutes later, a near side cross deflected off a Mercer defender right to Welsh, who buried the shot that tied the match up 2-2.
The remainder of regulation and both 10-minute overtime periods passed without any more scoring as the match ended in a 2-2 draw and one point awarded in the A-Sun standings to both sides. Stetson and Mercer remain tied for eighth place in the league with four points apiece.
Seletos made four saves, twice as many as her Mercer counterpart Nikki Atkinson, and fought off a 14-7 Mercer shots advantage to help her team get on the bus with the tie.
Stetson returns home for its final homestand of the season next weekend. The Hatters host league-leading ETSU at 7:00 pm Friday, October 14 and celebrate Senior Day at 1:00 pm Sunday, October 16 against USC Upstate. Live Stats and Hatter Vision will be available at GoHatters.com.
