In October 2020, for a previous editorial in this journal, the term 'artificial intelligence' was searched in the National Library of Medicine via PubMed. At that time, the search yielded 110,855 publications.1 It is remarkable that performing that same search only a year later yields almost 28,500 further citations, with the total now – as of 2 October 2021 – being 139,304 publications. The potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) has been realised by even its staunchest critics, and the possibility of a wonder thinking machine, 'the Master Algorithm' as computer scientist Pedro Domingo called it, is no longer just science fiction.2
Despite the recent explosion of interest in AI, the reality is that progress has been moving along for at least 180 years. The first published algorithm ever specifically tailored for implementation on a computer was published by Ada Lovelace – the disciple of Charles Babbage and daughter of the great philhellene Lord Byron – in 1843. Today, philosophers and futurists such as Nick Bostrom and Ray Kurzweil speak not of AI, but of superintelligence, far exceeding the capacity and might of the human brain.3 After all, Gary Kasparov did lose at chess to IBM's Deep Blue.
For clinicians – in particular electrophysiologists and arrhythmia experts – the power of AI has become equally apparent. There is now emerging evidence that AI may support diagnostics in electrophysiology by automating common clinical tasks or aiding complex tasks using deep neural networks that are superior to currently implemented computerised algorithms.4 Soon, AI simulations of the circuit of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia may be used to guide catheter ablation, or even stereotactic radioablation for a vast number of patients.5 Combining data obtained from several diagnostic modalities using AI might elucidate pathophysiological mechanisms of new, rare, or idiopathic cardiac diseases, aid the early detection or targeted treatment of cardiovascular diseases or allow for screening of disorders currently not associated with the ECG.4
Is all this the future or just wishful thinking? Computer scientist and inventor Eric Larson has seriously challenged the notion of any supercomputer exceeding the human brain.6 This is not only a problem of Aristotelian deduction versus induction versus inference: it seems to be a matter of logistics too. Rebecca Goldin, writing for the Genetic Literacy Project in response to President Obama's 2013 announcement of a broad new research initiative to understand the human brain, provides perspective:7
"The human brain is estimated to have approximately 86 billion neurons (8.6 x 1010), each neuron with possibly tens of thousands of synaptic connections; these little conversation sites are where neurons exchange information. In total, there are likely to be more than a hundred trillion neuronal synapses – so a computer recording a simple binary piece of information about synapses, such as whether it fired in a time window or not, would require 100 terabytes. The amount of storage needed to store even this very simple information every second over the course of one day for one person would more than 100,000 terabytes, or 100 petabytes. Supercomputers these days hold about 10 petabytes. And this quick calculation doesn't account for the changes in connectivity and positioning of these synapses occurring over time. Counting how these connections change just after a good night's sleep or a class in mathematics amounts to a whopping figure (and many more bytes than the estimated 1080 atoms in the universe). The wiring problem seems intractable in its magnitude."
The evolution of quantum computers promises exponentially more computing power. Nevertheless, the fundamental problem remains: how can we imitate – let alone supersede – the human brain when we do not actually know how it works in all its complex, everchanging functions in the time domain? The concept of singularity, by connotation with the Big Bang and Stephen Hawking's quest for the unified theory of physics, has always been appealing to the human intellect. Whether this motivation results in a future human-made super-intelligent machine and what the consequences of such an endeavour would be, remain to be seen. Ian McEwan's most recent book reminds us of this dilemma.8 To understand the importance of human complexity, in its simplest form, is perhaps illustrated by the case of the residents of Scunthorpe in northeast England who, in the late 1990s, could not make an AOL account owing to the company's profanity algorithm detecting a certain 'inappropriate' word within the city's name! It is hard to teach an algorithm to contextualise like the human brain can.9
In contemporary medicine – and especially clinical electrophysiology and arrhythmia management – AI is promising, but in the context of continuous validation of its diagnostic and predictive accuracy. As stated in an elegant review in Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, before the implementation of AI algorithms in clinical practice, trust in the algorithms must be established.4 Perhaps one day machines and supercomputers will exceed human intelligence. Until then, electrophysiologists must rely on the best computer known today: their brain. This is what creates superintelligence after all.

Aussie icon Victa sold off as climate change hits manufacturing
GUD managing director Ian Campbell says sale of the company's iconic lawnmower brand Victa was partly driven by the fact that climate change has made the business unsustainable.
While Victa Lawncare has posted strong sales in the past 12 months after good rain on the eastern seaboard, Campbell describes the financial performance of the business in the last few years as "lumpy" and that is unlikely to change.
"To be perfectly honest, I look at the long-term averages and the forecasts and particularly in the southern states I don't see water restrictions changing. No rain means lawns don't grow and people don't need lawnmowers."
Campbell admits he never thought he would be worrying so much about the impact of weather patterns and climate change on manufacturing, but the impacts on GUD's business – both negative and positive – have been marked. Climate change and water restrictions have made things tough for the company's spa and pool products division, but helped boost sales in its Davey pumps business.
Victa was sold to US firm Briggs & Stratton, which has been a supplier of four-stroke engines to Victa for many years. In recent years, GUD has sought to cut costs at Victa by sourcing some four-stroke engines from China, and Campbell believes Briggs & Stratton's decision to approach GUD about buying Victa was prompted by a desire to capture more four-stroke engine sales in Australia. "They wanted to keep the volume of engines that they had been used to. I think that they could see that they were going to lose it all to China."
Campbell hopes to take the $23 million in proceeds from the Victa sale and make acquisitions in areas that are less exposed to the vagaries of the weather. "As a listed company, investors expect consistency of earnings. In lumpy businesses, it is really hard to deliver that consistency," Campbell says. "We are looking at a couple of things now that are non-seasonal."

After 2 years at NESTA, I decided it was time for me to move on to new challenges. I have decided to take the plunge and go freelance, in hopes of being able to share my experience and skills with a wider variety of organisations. I am looking forward to the accelerated learning experience this will afford me, by being exposed to a mix of different types of projects, companies and people in a shorter space of time. So I now take on the much misunderstood title of 'consultant' or other such non-specific wording, and will spend the next few weeks working out how I can best use my skills in the big wide world of self-employment. This blog will become my business blog from now on, and I will be posting lots of the thoughts and ideas that I've had over the years that never quite managed to fit into my business blog that was tied to an employer.
It's been an interesting experience blogging for NESTA, with some limitations as well as some unique freedoms. I hope they will continue to keep using blogs as a way of engaging in conversations with people who are interested in innovation. As for me, I'm going to keep on blogging about all that's happening in the world of online, right here, so stay tuned.

The paradigm of immuno-oncology: figuring out and then circumventing how cancer cells evade the immune system, has been validated by a few high-impact therapeutic successes in the past few years and has thus spurred a flurry of more drug discovery and development in the field. However much of the current pharmaceutical activity is focused on a few cell surface drug targets and their inhibition by biologics-based therapies. CHI's Inaugural Immuno-Oncology: Emerging Targets and Therapeutics conference will cover newer cell surface targets in the IO field that are being investigated for modulation by biologics as well as by other modalities, especially small molecules that have the potential to be oral-based medicines. We will also cover drug targets that are intracellular, thus only accessible to small molecules or newer, non-biologic modalities. Please join us to stay abreast of this rapidly progressing field.

53% of companies are left exposed to supply chain attacks - Acronis Cyber Readiness Report 2021 reveals critical security gaps
Industry demand for URL filtering grew 10 times since last year - slower progress compared to cyberattacks growing in volume and sophistication
Acronis, Inc.
SINGAPORE, Oct. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Acronis, the global leader in cyber protection, has released its annual Cyber Readiness Report, providing a comprehensive overview of the modern cybersecurity landscape and the key pain points faced by businesses and remote employees worldwide amid the global pandemic. Acronis' research from last year revealed more than 80% of global companies admitted they were not prepared to transition to remote work – exposing key vulnerabilities businesses must quickly plan and implement solutions for.
Based on findings from this year's independent survey of 3,600 IT managers and remote employees at small and medium-sized companies in 18 countries across the globe, the report states that 53% of global companies have a false sense of security when it comes to supply chain attacks. Despite the globally recognized attacks on trusted software vendors, like Kaseya or SolarWinds, over half of IT leaders believe that using "known, trusted software" is sufficient protection – making them an easy target.
Attacks growing in volume and sophistication
Three out of 10 companies report facing a cyberattack at least once a day – similar to last year; but this year, only 20% of companies reported not getting attacked – a drop from 32% in 2020, meaning that the attacks are increasing in volume.
The most common attack types reached record-high levels this year, including phishing attacks – that continue to grow in frequency, and are now the top attack type at 58%. Malware attacks are also increasing in 2021: detected by 36.5% of companies this year – an increase from 22.2% in 2020.
However, this year was the year of phishing: the demand for URL filtering solutions has grown 10 times since 2020 – with 20% of global companies now recognizing the danger phishing presents to their business.
Despite growing awareness of multi-factor authentication (MFA), nearly half of IT managers (47%) are not using MFA solutions – leaving their businesses exposed to phishing attacks. According to these findings, they either see no value in it or consider it too complex to be implemented.
In response, organizations worldwide have begun to prepare for the growing threats – but for every step companies are taking, cybercriminals have already taken three.
The demand for antivirus solutions has grown by 30% – from 43% last year to 73.3% in 2021. However, companies are just discovering that standalone antivirus solutions no longer work against modern threats: we saw the demand for an integrated backup/disaster recovery with antivirus solutions more than double – from 19% in 2020 to 47.9% this year.
Demand for vulnerability assessments and patch management grew significantly: from 26% in 2020 to 45% this year. This can be attributed, in part, to the increased volume of vulnerabilities exposed this year in critical and in-core software deployments such as Microsoft Exchange servers, Chrome browsers or Apache webservers.
Not surprisingly, the demand for better and more secure remote monitoring and management tools grew over three times – 35.7% this year, up from 10% in 2020. With remote work now being recognized as a long-term default format of work, it's more important that ever for IT managers to be able to monitor and manage a wide range of remote devices.
In last year's Acronis Cyber Readiness Report 2020, we saw an increase in adoption of new services – especially SaaS and Cloud Computing services – and this year, companies continue to adopt new solutions. However, this has increased the overall complexity of IT environments, which most likely will cause additional breaches and unplanned downtime in the future.
"The cybercrime industry proved to be a well-oiled machine this year – relying on proven attack techniques, like phishing, malware, DDoS and others. Threat actors are increasingly expanding their targets, while organizations are held back by the growing complexity of IT infrastructure," says Candid Wuest, Acronis VP of Cyber Protection Research. "Only a small number of companies have taken the time to modernize their IT stack with integrated data protection and cybersecurity. The threat landscape will continue to grow and automation is the only path to greater security, lower costs, improved efficiency and reduced risks."
Remote employees make the most attractive targets
These Acronis findings and external research clearly illustrate why organizations need a cyber protection solution that reduces complexity and improves security to support remote work environments, and that this solution must be cost-effective in order to address the increased scale of the remote workforce.
One in four remote employees reported struggling with the lack of IT support as one of the key challenges they faced this year. The top-three tech challenges identified by remote employees globally: Wi-Fi connectivity, using a VPN and other security measures, lack of IT support.
One in four remote employees are not using multi-factor authentication – making them easy phishing targets, with phishing being the most common attack type in 2021.
On average, one in five remote employees gets heavily targeted by phishing attacks, receiving well over 20 phishing emails per month – with 71% of respondents confirming being targeted by it each month. Learning to identify such attacks through cybersecurity awareness training is crucial in keeping organizations protected, and personal assets as well.
We have seen attackers aggressively expanding their target pool – it is no longer just Microsoft Windows OS based workloads – where users reported a spike in attacks against Linux, MacOS, Android and iOS devices as well. Attackers are also going after virtualized environments more often.
Unfortunately, cybercriminals don't need to be tech-savvy to create chaos anymore – take malware for example. Cybercriminal gangs have further expanded their malware-as-a-service model, that provides step-by-step guides on how to make a profit out of compromising targets.
Yet despite the growing dangers for employees, remote work is here to stay; people will continue to work and hire remotely, and that's the reality most IT teams still need to get ready for: finding a solution to hardware shortages, increased complexity, an increased need for IT support and better cybersecurity solutions. This is an existential crisis companies must prepare for now – the potential costs for not doing so are just too great.

kate middleton,
Kate Middleton's stunning 40th birthday portraits have already become one of her most startling moments as a royal. The photographer who captured her beauty with such delicate nuance, Paolo Roversi, has revealed behind the scenes details from their shoot, including the picture her family was most enamored by.
Speaking with the Italian newspaper, Corriere Della Sera, Paolo shared that he encouraged the duchess to dance an "accelerated waltz with a pinch of rock 'n roll" when she was wearing the organza Alexander McQueen dress.The skilled photographer who has captured the likes of Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell also shared that though Kate was "apprehensive" at first, once they began, she became comfortable and embraced the experience.
"But at first the duchess was apprehensive. Every day she is machine-gunned by photographers but not used to posing; knowing my photos with the models she was a bit fearful in facing a real session, which then required about four hours of work," he told the publication. "But once she started it would be very easy, I reassured her."
Paolo and Kate were able to create 250 photos which were cut down to 70, and from the bunch, Prince William and the couple's children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis chose one, which stood out as their favorite — the black-and-white closeup picture of Kate beaming at the camera in an Alexander McQueen's ruffled shoulder gown.
A post shared by Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (@dukeandduchessofcambridge)
Inspired by British fashion photographer Cecil Beaton, the images were captured in natural light to highlight Kate's inherent beauty. "Little makeup, no hairstyle, simple earrings, a ring… the focal point of Kate's face is her gaze and smile," mused Paolo. He and the duchess also looked to 19th-century photography for further inspiration — the special era was the theme of Kate's undergraduate thesis when she studied art history at the University of St Andrews.
After the well-received portraits were released, Kate shared a heartfelt message of thanks on Sunday evening in the UK, writing, "Thank you for all of your very kind birthday wishes and to Paolo and the National Portrait Gallery for these three special portraits. C"

Mr. Capman – Many an early settler aspired to lay out a town. A man named Capman did that in 1842 and called the place Randolph. His town did not prosper and in 1859, had only a store and blacksmith shop. Shortly after this village had been platted, German immigrants began coming to the community. They laid out another village just north of hopeful Randolph and called it Bremen. This newer village grew more rapidly than the older one, secured the Post Office, and soon assumed leadership of the nearby region. The village of Randolph ceased to exist.

131: Calling Balls & Strikes in Baseball's Negro Leagues – With Byron Motley
Multi-talented singer-songwriter, photographer, and soon-to-be sports history documentarian Byron Motley joins the show this week to discuss his late father's colorful career as an umpire in baseball's legendary Negro Leagues – the subject of his 2007 collaborative oral history, Ruling Over Monarchs, Giants, and Stars.
A child of Depression-era rural Alabama, a teenaged Bob Motley migrated north in the early 1940s to his uncle's home in Dayton, OH in search of work – and a tryout as a Negro League pitcher. World War II intervened, and Motley was soon off to the front lines as one of the first African-Americans in the then-segregated (Montfort Point) Marines – receiving both a Purple Heart (shot in the foot during combat) and a Congressional Gold Medal of Honor for his service.
While recovering from his wounds, Motley caught wind of a baseball game outside his military hospital and volunteered to umpire – crutches and all. Despite earning him an immediate trip back to the battlefield, it set the stage for his post-discharge career ambitions.
Relocated to Kansas City in 1946, Motley supplemented his day job at a local GM plant with persistent attempts to umpire games with KC's fabled Monarchs, ultimately yielding a decade-long moonlighting career calling contests across the Negro Leagues. Known for a flamboyant acrobatic style, Motley became nationally known as the most entertaining game-caller in the Negro majors – as much an attraction as the pioneering players and teams themselves.
Though a Major League call-up never came, Motley still broke barriers in Triple-A and NCAA ball, and was instrumental in helping usher in the eventual arrival of the first African-American umpire (his Pacific Coast League colleague Emmett Ashford) in 1966.

What do Leonardo da Vinci, Ludwig van Beethoven and you have in common besides talent and intellect? The 24-hour day. Each day we make choices about how we will spend our time. And those choices determine our output and impact.
Here is the underlying truth. We all operate within constraints – whether it is the 24-hour day or the limitations of a budget. So the challenge is how to make better choices that yield better results.
This issue of making better choices is critical in law firm knowledge management (KM). I have yet to meet a KM professional in any industry who says that they have all the resources necessary to cope with the demand for their work and attention. So if we all are struggling with demand that outstrips resources, what is the sanest way of responding? Make sure you are allocating your time and resources to the projects that deliver the greatest good for the firm.
To be clear, this is not merely philosophical advice. It is highly pragmatic and admittedly tough. We don't always understand what will yield the greatest good for the firm. Because of this, we sometimes let our work priorities get skewed by the person who is most senior, most influential or, sometimes, most annoyingly persistent.
It was to address this challenge that I earlier asked law firm KM professionals whether they themselves were force multipliers and whether the work of their teams had a force multiplier effect on their firms. In the same vein, I am now asking law firm KM professionals if they are allocating their resources to the most impactful projects. The definition of what constitutes an impactful project varies with each firm and its strategy. Nonetheless, regardless of the strategy, each KM department must align its resource allocation and effort to that strategy.
You have to tackle the task of prioritizing and then reprioritizing regularly. Situations change, expectations change, and then suddenly you have new pressing priorities. It is for this reason that I use the concept of a portfolio of KM projects that, like an investment portfolio, should be rebalanced from time to time to reflect changes in priorities and circumstances.
The key to any successful portfolio is to make sure that you have the right mix of investments and that you are not over-invested in a category that does not yield the desired results. To achieve this, you must understand your strategic goals, the range of available investments, and how particular investments serve those strategic goals. You also need to be disciplined to cut back on investments that demand too much of your resources or do not deliver as planned. This is how we rebalance our personal investment portfolios and it is the same principle that applies to your KM investment portfolio.
The whitepaper, Rebalancing your knowledge management portfolio, takes a closer look at what a properly balanced KM portfolio might look like. It also discusses the real challenge of managing a big project, like an intranet project, which can demand a disproportionate amount of your resources if you lose sight of your strategic goals and fail to put the project in its proper place. No matter what your intranet choices are, the key is to make sure that those choices support your efforts to reach your strategic goals with the resources at hand.
Whether you are working within the constraints of a 24-hour day or over-stretched resources, the key is to keep making better choices.


The big four banks exiting financial advice received a resounding welcome from the industry, according to a new survey.
The majority of respondents (62%) polled in Financial Standard's sister publication FS Advice agreed the move will have positive ramifications for financial services.
One-in-four (25%) participants said only time will tell what type of effect the demergers and sales will have on financial advice.
As it currently stands, CBA is delaying its planned demerger but said it remains committed to exiting wealth.
The OnePath/IOOF transaction is on ice pending the outcome of the APRA investigation, while NAB is reportedly hunting a buyer for MLC.
Westpac, the last of the major banks to join the exodus, agreed to sell a number of advisers to Viridian Advisory.
Financial Standard broke the news in March that Westpac will no longer provide personal financial advice and shift to a referral model; it will also reposition BT Financial Group as a standalone division.
In handing down the banking Royal Commission final report, Commissioner Kenneth Hayne stopped short of dismantling vertical integration.
Hayne said the forced separation of financial advice and companies that sell and manufacture financial products "involved significant disruption" to the industry and the financial services industry more broadly.
This is despite Hayne recognising that conflicts of interest would likely be reduced by separating AFSL holders authorised to issue financial products and AFSL holders authorised to give financial product advice.
The new poll asks: What was the highlight of the 2019-20 Budget?

Thanks to all for the responses and suggestions on this post. For us the manual retune under expert settings and then accepting each block of channels worked.
Thanks for the post. The manual tuning has worked for me...whoo hoo first time in months I have seen the 'reminders' popping up.
So now I have a question. Why Samsung did not know what to do with our problems? It took us 6 months and more to find what is a problem. Samsung, we want to hear what you think about it.
Its a known Samsung fault but they do not admit to it. They may ask you to do a reset that sometimes works for a couple of weeks. I had a ks9500 q9f and q700f all stopped scheduled recording and all went back.
Don't have freesat but what I know now is everything about tuning.
Quick update. Installed the very latest firmware via a USB stick as the auto update said there wasn't a newer version, but there was, (1202.3 for my nu7400 TV) , did a few factory resets and contacted Samsung support, who performed a remote connection to the TV. Well it still doesn't work, but they admitted it was a software issue and it would be fixed at some point… I agree that it looks a software issue, but how come it was working a month or so ago, maybe the auto update did at some point do an upgrade but to a version with this fault in it… If this is the case it should be relatively easy to fix, by regressing to the older version which worked… mind you some of the posts here, refer to older TVs with the same 'fault'… and my old 32in Samsung records fine, one of the reasons why I stuck to Samsung when upgrading my TV.
I will post an update if I ever get the recording feature to work again.
I had the same issues and it is a known fault that Samsung have had since at least 2016. Again I have a older 32 Samsung Smart TV that records with no problems. I also have a Samsung Freesat duel recorded that again works fine.
I had 65KS9500 did not work, 65Q9F did not work, and even the 75Q900R. They all worked for a few weeks and the stopped sceduled recording. I have copied in the emails I had with Samsung UK CEO office where they admit they have an ongoing issue with this.
Hi Paul, can you please explain what the problem is with scheduled recordings. I have a KS8000 so would I see the same problem? I may need this as ammo is JL don't come up with an offer.
I will do may best to try to condense the story but it did take over 8 months from start to finish. They will try all tricks to get out of it but as you have seen you have a case because Richer Sounds would not be giving refunds if there was none. I bet the other retailers hate RS. I post the details shortly.
This is quite a long post but this is Samsung admitting they have a problem with the sceduledrecording on all their 2016 2017 TV's.
It took only a few emails to the CEO to sort, here are the main one's.
Before that online chats and telephone calls and never once did I get a call back even though they promised they would.
"Yes, it's in respect to my TV not recording which has been ongoing since August without getting rectified. I had Martin Daws round twice to change the one connect and then the main PCB board. It worked for a week after the board was fitted. If I do a factory reset it works for a week then stops working. Martin Daws informed me that they had sent a request to you tech for advice last October and had heard nothing. When I contact your support all I get is to contact Martin Daws, and M Daws say they cannot do anything until they hear from you. I feel like the piggy in the middle. What with the HLG, HDR10+ and smart connect and a TV that will not do as advertised I am getting a little bit fed up.
"This issue of scheduled recording and some reports of challenges being experienced remains under review by our Product Support Team at Head Office.
As a result, in light of the number of challenges that you are facing with this television and pursuant to your specific situation if you could provide us with a copy of your purchase receipt we will be happy to consider your claims further.
We would be happy to exchange for the QE65Q9FAMTXXU as a full and final resolution to this matter.
If this is agreeable I will proceed with arrangements.
Thank you for sending a copy of your receipt as requested.
As previously mentioned in light of the various challenges that you are facing we would like to consider an exchange model for you, as advised this is pertinent to your specific situation.
However, prior to reviewing a suitable exchange we first do need to highlight that the scheduled recording issue is an on-going discussion with our Product Specialists in Head Office and HQ and thus any replacement may encounter similar issues. In addition the Smart Things Extend is not a feature that was released and thus will not be available on any replacement.
We wanted to provide transparency ahead of further discussions but if you did wish to consider the exchange we would be happy to review and discuss further.
It is in this email where they admit to an ongoing problem with scheduled recording which they had to cover them selves so that I would not send the new tv back with the same issues. I agreeded and they did replace the TV at no cost.
We are in receipt of the further photos however our Product Specialists position remains that the panel/TV is not faulty and is within specification.
I feel that we are therefore at an impasse as your request to exchange would not progress this matter to your satisfaction.
Therefore, if you could forward a copy of your purchase receipt for the original product (I cannot see that we have this on record) we will offer a refund payment in respect of this product following collection of the replacement.
As you can see they have offered a full refund which I got.
Sorry about being a bit long but it shows Samsung know about this and are just fobbing their customers off. They are hoping people do not use that function. Here is the ling to the forum page.
Also @AntS I do not think this issue is solved, Thanks.

Spezza scores on power play, Stars beat Blackhawks 4-3
MATT CARLSON
CHICAGO (AP) — The Dallas Stars beat the Chicago Blackhawks — and lost their prized newcomer.
Jason Spezza broke a tie on a 5-on-3 power play midway through the third period and Dallas beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 on Sunday after blowing a three-goal lead.
The victory was overshadowed by the loss of Mats Zuccarello with what he thought was a broken right arm in his first game with Dallas. Acquired from the New York Rangers on Saturday, Zuccarello had a goal and assist, but left after two periods and is expected to be sidelined at least four weeks.
"I blocked a shot and it hit me the wrong way," said Zuccarello, whose arm was in a soft cast with a splint. "It's unfortunate.I kind of knew it right away, not that it was broken, but something was wrong."
Zuccarello said he'd have the arm evaluated Monday or Tuesday.
On the winner, Spezza took Alexander Radulov's feed across the crease and tapped the puck past goalie Cam Ward. Radulov and Radek Faksa also scored and Anton Khudobin made 44 saves for the Stars, who pulled two points ahead of idle Colorado and into the first Western Conference wild card.
Dallas forward Jamie Benn suffered an upper-body injury during the first shift of the game and didn't return. He's out day-to-day.
"It's an incredibly gritty win for us, one that we needed, on a really tough back-to-back," Spezza said. "With the bodies going down throughout the game, I thought we responded well."
Despite being outshot 47-29 as the Blackhawks came on late, the Stars prevailed after a listless 3-0 loss at home to Carolina on Saturday.
"It's inspiring," coach Jim Montgomery said. "To watch those players as a team, as a group, overcome the adversity we had to overcome."
Chicago star Patrick Kane was held off the scoresheet, ending his points streak at 20 games, even though he was visible in creating chances.
"He was involved," coach Jeremy Colliton said. "It just didn't go in for him or the guys he was playing with."
Chris Kunitz, Drake Caggiula and Jonathan Toews tied it for Blackhawks after they fell behind 3-0 early in the second period. Duncan Keith and Erik Gustafsson each had two assists, and Ward stopped 25 shots.
Chicago dropped its second straight game after winning 10 of 12. For the second straight game, Chicago dominated for most of the contest but didn't get a point.
"I liked it a lot, the last two periods in particular," Collition said. "I don't care how well you play, it's going to be tough to pull out of it against team, they're scratching and clawing just like us.
"We've got to keep improving. We've got to find a way to get paid off for it too."
Defenseman Ben Lovejoy, acquired from New Jersey on Saturday, also played his first game with Dallas.
The Stars capitalized on a pair of Blackhawks breakdowns to take a 2-0 lead in the first period.
Set up by Zuccarello's long pass from the Dallas zone, Faksa got past Gustafsson, broke in alone and beat Ward between the pads 11:35 in to open the scoring. Gustafsson found himself alone in the Chicago zone after the blade on defense partner Slater Koekkoek's skate fell out.
Radulov, alone in front of the net, made it 2-0 on a backhander with 2:32 left in the period. He was set up on a quick feed by Miro Heiskanen, who had picked of Gustav Forsling's pass near the point.
Zuccarello made it 3-0 at 1:44 of the second when he whipped in Tyler Seguin's cross-ice feed from lower edge of the right circle.
Kunitz cut it to 3-1 on a one-timer from the slot 1:14 later. Caggiula trimmed it to 3-2 with 4:23 left in the second on a tip-in that required a video review to confirm. Caggiula's deflection of feed was ruled no-goal by referees when Khudobin lunged and gloved the puck at the goal line, but the review determined the puck had completely crossed the line.
Toews 29th goal, on a power-play at 4:16 of the third, tied it at 3. He connected on a screened shot from the top of the right circle.
Dallas killed a double-minor high-sticking penalty to Roman Polak in the final five minutes to hang on for the win.
NOTES: Chicago D Brent Seabrook returned after missing three games with an abdominal strain. C Marcus Kruger was back in action after leaving Friday's game after blocking a shot. … Radulov returned after sitting out Saturday due to an illness. … To get Zuccarello, Dallas sent the Rangers a conditional second-round draft pick this year and a conditional third-round selection in 2020. The 2019 pick would become a first-rounder if Dallas advances to the conference finals this spring and Zuccarello plays in at least 50 percent of the team's cumulative games over the first two rounds. The 2020 pick becomes a first-rounder if Zuccarello signs with Dallas.
Stars: At Vegas on Tuesday night.
Blackhawks: At Anaheim on Wednesday night.

15 February 2017 — Unreal estate
Council Says It Has Shelved Dublin House Project
Photo by Conal Thomas
The Dublin House Project has been shelved, according to Dublin City Council press office.
Launched in July 2014, the Dublin City Council initiative was supposed to help people who wanted to design and create their own bespoke homes in the city.
At the time, the council said it was ready to sell its site at 29 and 30 Fishamble Street to a group of households who would develop it together and live there for at least 10 years.
But the council now says it's no longer pursuing the project – not on Fishamble Street, not anywhere.
Some, like Green Party Councillor Ciarán Cuffe, say the project should be revived as soon as possible.
But as resources are sucked in to tackling, more directly, the homelessness crisis, that seems unlikely to happen.
A Learning Curve
The project hit a hurdle when the group selected to develop the site withdrew their expression of interest. At the time, the council said it was still committed to advancing the project.
But then, late last year, Dublin City Council added the Fishamble Street site (below) to its list of schemes for rapid-build housing.
The main aim of the Dublin House Project, aside from encouraging citizen-led development, was to "demonstrate that family-friendly apartments are possible and desirable within the city centre," according to a council statement from when it was launched.
Such developments are commonplace in cities like Amsterdam, said Councillor Cuffe.
But the Dublin House Project may have been overambitious, he says. "It was placing different homeowners vertically in the building. Each floor had a different owner," says Cuffe. "The legal challenges in that are significant."
A better option, were the scheme revived, would to place multiple homeowners next to each other in a terrace, says Cuffe.
Back in December 2015, the group of citizen developers described their failed redevelopment of 29 and 30 Fishamble Street as "a learning experience for all involved".
Finances were an issue, according to Labour Councillor Andrew Montague, who is head of the council's planning committee.
"My understanding is that there was problems with financing in terms of people being able to get the mortgages and insurance," he says. "That's where the blockage was."
The Dublin House Project was a good idea, says Montague, but the financing has to be right.
"I'd have loved to have seen it out here in Ballymun and I made some investigations about it. But we came across the same problem. We couldn't get financing," he said.
While Dublin City Council may have dropped its version of the project for now, some are still working away on finding an arrangement that might work.
"We're trying to work out a financing model for it," says Greg Jackson of Jackson + Groarke Architects. He has two groups of people he's currently working with in Dublin.
"The idea is twofold. You don't have a developer, so there's no developer's profit. It's cheaper. The second side is the capital, because people come together and work on this to raise money for a year or so," he said.
But Ireland, unlike Germany, where the model has worked, does not have the financial institutions behind these projects, he says.
Jackson notes that, in Europe, it's different. "In Germany you have a couple of banks that specialise in financing these projects," he says.
Smaller Sites
Councillor Montague says that the council's resources should be concentrated on tackling the housing crisis. Right now there's no choice.
A five-week design team tender process for six rapid-build apartments on the Fishamble Street site formerly slated for the Dublin House Project ends on 16 February. According to Dublin City Council documents, the work will be done sometime in 2018.
But, says Cuffe, unconventional approaches and alternative ways of creating housing should remain on the agenda.
"The large housing projects that can deliver significant amounts of housing are being prioritised at the moment," he says. "But the point I would come back to is: we've got to look at the smaller sites."
The council has had a "very polarised" housing-provision system between public and private housing so far, Cuffe argues. "We need a lot more space in the middle to be filled," he says.
Smaller vacant or derelict sites in the city – and there are plenty – need to be tackled. Innovative ventures, like the Dublin House Project, could help that, he says.
Cuffe would like to see the Dublin House Project revived.
"In some cities, like Amsterdam, there's a strong focus on what they call 'self-build', which can consist of a builder being employed by around half a dozen future homeowners," he says.
It's cost-effective, Cuffe says, and it means more housing in smaller pockets of city centres. His party colleague Councillor Claire Byrne agrees.
She says there are benefits to meeting housing needs in creative ways such as this. "[We need] to include that really creative urban design that also fosters active citizenship," says Byrne. "It's a real shame."
"We've seen the Beta Projects put on the back burner," she says. "Now more than ever is when we need to be investing in innovation. We're supposed to be positioning ourselves as a smart and sustainable city. The council are failing on that front."
