Plenty of asset-management stocks are giving back a bit of their sharp 2013 gains. But none may be as precariously perched as Janus Capital (JNS). The fund manager's shares are down more than 7% after its quarterly earnings report revealed Janus' worst investor exodus in years.
The $6.2 billion in long-term outflows last quarter amount to a 15% long-term attrition rate, according to Sterne, Agee & Co. analyst Jason Weyeneth. The figure is enough to overshadow the fact the company's earnings beat Wall Street's expectations.
Weyeneth writes the outflows were the worst in at least seven years, hitting the firm's growth-stock fund managers hardest:
The outflows were driven by growth equities (-$3.3 billion, 22.5% attrition), Perkins (-$1.1 billion, 27.7% attrition rate), and Intech (-$1.8 billion, 16.1% attrition rate). While performance at Intech is solid and quantitative strategies just remain out of favor, poor performance of JNS' fundamental equity products continues to be the driver of outflows. At 12/31 only 38% and 39% of JNS' fundamental equity assets ranked in the top half of their respective Morningstar categories on a 1-year and 3-year basis.
The sector is down broadly in Thursday's trading, with Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) dropping 1.3%.

Since its debut in 1971, the floppy disk has played a large role in computer evolution. Highly popular, they have become so common over the past few decades that they have become a metaphor for saving data. In fact, most word processors use floppy disk icons to represent the program's "save file" feature. But alas, computers are changing, and the floppy disk is quickly being displaced by more modern technologies.
In 1971, IBM created the first floppy diskette drive. It was an 8-inch disk capable of storing a mere 80 kilobytes. Not long after, in 1976, the 5�-inch floppy disk emerged. It was capable of storing 256 kilobytes - far more than its 8-inch predecessor. Years later, Sony released what would soon become the "de-facto" industry standard for removable media - the 3� "IBM compatible" high-density (HD) floppy disk, capable of storing 1.44 megabytes of data.
In the 1990's, as computers began to find their way into homes across America and abroad, several proposed floppy replacements hit the market that would hold far more data than previous concoctions, like the Iomega ZIP disk and the Imation LS-120 diskette, but none of them would find the same widespread adoption that the 3�-inch floppy did.
So, for over 30 years the floppy disk, in its various forms, was the preferred removable storage solution. Removable storage devices are, by definition, employed to store information (i.e. photos, videos, letters and other documents) which can be safely removed from and stored outside the computer.
However, with the advent of flash-based media, that has all changed, and the floppy diskette's days are probably numbered. Flash-based storage technologies support far higher storage capacities and are far more reliable than floppies could ever be. In fact, virtually all digital camera cards use flash technology, and so do portable USB-based disk drives. A 1.44 megabyte floppy isn't worth much these days when a 512 megabyte USB-powered drive can be purchased for less than twenty dollars.
Even more condemning is the fact that most computers these days don't come with floppy disk drives in them anymore. Many OEM computer manufacturers only offer external floppy drives which use a USB cable to connect it to the PC.
What does this mean for consumers? It means that it's time to start looking at old floppy disks and copying important data from them onto a more preferred medium, like a portable USB-based drive, compact-disc (CD). Otherwise, consumers may find a future need to access information on an old floppy with no means to access it.

Wonderful place to stay. Beautiful house in a very nice neighborhood. The rooms are very comfortable and offer everything you need. Great location. Only a short walk to the subway, supermarket and nice restaurants.The hosts Giana, Chanoch and Luigi (sweet dog) made us feel very welcome. We had a great stay and would highly recommend Emerson house. Kerstin and family, Germany
Excellent! It couldn't have been better! This house though it is such a wonderful nice hideaway, so that we were thinking about not telling you, so that we can come back as soon as possible to stay for a month
Great, peaceful accommodation along the canals. We liked it wonderful. There is enough space in the house. Kitchen is well equipped. Oil, spices, aluminum foil etc were of the previous tenant (?) Still exists. Terrace is shared with the houseboat.
Goods on "private beach", the bikes and kayaks are used. The manatees we have also seen. Gina and Chanoch we only met briefly, as they are out of town in the evening, but they were very attentive. The list of Miles venues with restaurant recommendations, shopping, etc was very helpful.
We would book immediately again. TOP !!!!
Tolle, ruhige Unterkunft an den Kanälen. Uns hat es wunderbar gefallen. Es ist genügend Platz im Haus. Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Öl, Gewürze, Alufolie etc waren von Vormieter (?) noch vorhanden. Terasse wird mit dem Hausboot geteilt.
Waren am "Privatstrand", haben die Fahrräder und Kajaks benutzt. Die Seekühe haben wir auch gesehen. Gina und Chanoch haben wir nur kurz kennengelernt, da sie am Abend verreist sind, die waren aber sehr aufmerksam. Die Liste der Miles-Locations mit Restaurant-empfehlungen, Geschäften, etc war sehr hilfreich.
Wir würden sofort wieder buchen. TOP !!!!

After a period of immaculately clean superskinny fits dominating the jeanswear market, the big news for spring is the straight-leg distressed look ??" coupled with extreme ripped denim, soft whiskering and splattered paint-aged effects. Here, five denim trends gaining momentum for the upcoming season.
From WWD ISSUE 08/27/2009
LOS ANGELES ??" Premium denim brand Citizens of Humanity is giving a twist to T-shirts through a collaboration with artist Will Lemon.
The Huntington Park, Calif.-based company is sprucing up tanks, short-sleeve Ts, tunics and three other women??™s spring styles with Lemon??™s technique of blending screen-printing with hand-painting. A tank top pops in a blue snakeskin print mottled with what resembles neon oil spills, a gray scoop-neck T-shirt is enlivened with a bold splash of azure and ruby raindrops fall all over a yellow tank dress. All will retail for approximately $135.
???I envisioned an outdoor scene and I first saw a snake sunbathing in a field of tall, verdant grass,??? said Lemon, whose previous fashion collaborations were with Marc Jacobs and MAC. ???I also imagined a small stream with a slight waterfall nearby and these first three images that were there in my mind became the metaphors for the prints that eventually ended up on the T-shirts.???
Cut from a soft, light cotton knit, the pieces are also washed and dyed by hand at Citizens of Humanity??™s laundry.
???The collaboration with Will is a highlight of the special things that we can do,??? said Adriano Goldschmied, executive vice president of design at Citizens of Humanity, which also owns his denim brand GoldSign. ???We own already a lot of technology and know-how that we can apply to our T-shirt. We own our own dye house and laundry. Our goal is to make something different.???
Choosing to collaborate with Lemon helps Citizens of Humanity differentiate itself from competitors in a challenging economy as it seeks to expand its jeans business with complementary categories such as T-shirts. Goldschmied said the company is also considering applying Lemon??™s screen-painting technique to jeans and men??™s T-shirts.

Simon was much like everyone else. Banal and mundane. He was a quiet daydreamer who watched and listened more than did things. But for the most part he was pushed by loving parents, peers, and authorities figures to fit the Terran Union's archetype of what a person should be. He wasn't exactly happy, but he fell upon no ills. Everything was as would be expected, until his after his thirteenth birthday.
After a check up, which wasn't entirely routine, his doctor invited Simon's parents to let Simon take part in a special program. The Lang family refused, having no desire to submit their son to undue scrutiny. A week later the invitation became a seizure. Simon was taken from his family, and subject to a fresh battery of tests. All because his nervous system was different from most. After the tests came experiments. Painful experiments that left scares.
Simon Lang didn't see much day light during his mid teen years. Mostly he was in doors, locked away safe and out of sight. His awareness expanded as the procedures became more bold. They went beyond the physical and into the ephermal. At some point, the research involving Simon was militarized. The military regium shift was offered more freedom, but the military demanded more of Simon.
He was allowed to visit his family. Received more freedoms. Later on a deal was struck, where they would help Simon develop his psychic which he had grown very fond of. But he would be required to serve a tour in the armed forces, and train for that service. After his tour, he would be released from the government's hold to be his own man. Or so they promised. Not entirely trusting, Simon still went along with the deal. If they weren't true to their word, at least he was out behind walls, with more room to maneuver an escape.

Posted on 01/02/2013 4:49:27 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Michael Moore recently said that the only reason white people are buying a bunch of guns in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting is that theyre fearful. Afraid of black people specifically. He said, Calm down, white people, and put away your guns. So if were all buying guns and ammo out of fear of the black man, what emotion would cause this idiocy: a 6-year-old boy was suspended from school for making his hand in the shape of a gun and pretend shooting it, saying, Pow, as it was pointed at a fellow student. Were school officials actually scared that a bullet was going to come out of the childs index finger and kill his classmate? So, its not fear thats driving this; its pure stupidity.
Renee Garraway, the Assistant Principal in this Montgomery County, Maryland school, sent a letter home with the 6-year-old. Her letter, addressing the childs parents, stated in part that your son was involved in a serious incident. [He] threatened to shoot a student. He was spoken to earlier today about a similar incident. He threatened to shoot a student? Are they kidding? He was probably playing a version of Cops and Robbers. Hes a little boy. At one time, such behavior was considered normal for little boys. Nowadays with the abject paranoia of the left, this childs configuring his fingers in the shape of a gun is worthy of suspension.
And because of the schools no tolerance policy and ridiculous overreaction, the parents have had to retain an attorney, Robin Ficker. Ficker pointed out that five years from now when someone at Montgomery County looks at [the child's] permanent record, theyre going to see that he threatened to shoot another student.
This is similar to another recent incident where a 3-year-old deaf student was told he had to change his sign language name because the hand gestures for the name Hunter resembled guns, much like the 6-year-olds gun above being used to shoot a fellow student.
Government schools are proving themselves to be dangerous, mentally, emotionally and physically. Theyre also run by imbeciles who think theyre doing society a favor by removing the kids with behavior problems such as the child who was playing Cops and Robbers. Shutting down these government schools would do society a much greater favor.
Holy paranoid Batman......
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
Pull your kids out.
Nanny State PING!
The last few seconds are priceless!
I hope he changed his name from Hunter to (redacted, but involving a different finger).
Amen to that! I couldn't agree more.
Articles that explain how modern liberals suffer from a mental disorder.
If he said he was just singing the Black-Eyed Peas's "Boom Boom Pow" would that get him off the hook or would he get two more suspensions?
Their permanent records must be a lot more comprehensive than mine, I got a copy of mine a few years ago and all it contained was my grades, attendance and ACT/SAT scores (And believe me I got in trouble more than a couple times...)
No.....calling these droolers "imbeciles" gives imbeciles a bad name.
The parent need to sue the school system and this principal immediately for defamation of character, a violation of the child's 1st amendment rights, false accusation, and causing mental anguish. I'd open the suit at $20 million. The only way to stop these fascists is to hit them financially. They seem to be slow learners, so it will likely take quite a few such suites.
"Theyre also run by imbeciles who think theyre doing society a favor...
No.....calling these droolers "imbeciles" gives imbeciles a bad name'"
These imbeciles that run the government schools, the same kind of imbeciles will now run our healthcare with Obamacare.
The government schools and Obamacare should be abolished. Get your kids out of government schools.
It'll be a wonder if we have any police officers or military in 10-15 years without cops and robber games and cowboy and indian games.
Public school is child abuse.
We conservatives can have fun by dropping a box of cap guns with rolls of caps somewhere in the local elementary school playground late at night. While the entire police force is at the school the next day locking the place down because kids are playing with inanimate objects that can cause no harm to anybody, the roads will be free of cops for drag races.
Oh My God! These people are insane! When I was a child we played Army and Cowboys and Indians in school and yelled pow, bang and boom and it was considered NORMAL behavior. What are we allowing these totalitarian mush brained pseudo intellectuals to turn our children into. We need less of these progressive so called teachers interacting with our children more old fashioned play. It seems to me that we had less problems before we allowed these people to neuter our young boys.
Just because someone works at a school doesn't mean that they are not idiots.......
Exactly my thoughts on the neutering of boys.
Wait until a gay couple's son does the same thing, haa!
That includes conservative parents.
Not pointing any fingers....
I was the Indian, hiding in the weeds quietly talking into my fist and calling in and adjusting an imaginary artillery fire mission on you cowboys.
You make me smile more than anybody since Lucy. (Personal acquaintances excepted.)
Wait, what?
You guys had arty?
Yep. While saving us trillions of dollars.
No such thing.
I wish it named the elementary school. Does it surprise you in the least?
I like the way you think :-)
"Their permanent records must be a lot more comprehensive than mine".
Oh, they are. There are two school records, by the way. The main one and the "secret" one. Seriously. One is for the viewing if requested by parents and there is always a second one that includes lists of infractions etc... My one girlfriend requested both when her daughter got into trouble. They were ticked that she knew about the other one (she has a friend in the school system).
On another note, there is now a Montgomery County "grading system" for behaviors. When a child misbehaves, it is referred to as "Anarchy" and they are given a punishment/calmed down to level D (Demure). How would I know this? Well, lil' Miss 6 year old got into trouble for pushing a girl when the girl called her "stupid, dumb" and refused to let her into the computer lab. The girl was not injured, didn't fall.. the "bad" behavior = the pushing. I get a call from her teacher that said she was at the "Anarchy level" but is now "Demure". Anarchy? I asked, "Is she throwing molotov cocktails? Is she overturning cars in the lot? Is the school currently on fire". The teacher said, "I don't make up the grading system... I know it is out there". Crazy, ain't it?!
These kids better watch out. Next thing we know, their hands will be tattooed with serial numbers. Or trigger locks will be mandatory. If muzzies run the schools, there will be confiscation.
Liberals go crazy when anyone THINKS of a gun. They don't care about who gets killed or not. They are passionate about controlling peoples' thoughts! Thinking about a gun is the worse evil in the world!
See, there's a bunch of questions my parents wouldn't have wanted to ask for fear of the answers.
I went by the rule "accuse me, and I'll do it". May as well be hanged for a goat as a sheep.
I'm sure that genetic trait still exists in the wild.
"... there's a bunch of questions my parents wouldn't have wanted to as for fear of the answers".
LOL!! She is actually a very well behaved girl and I am sorry to say we didn't really lower the boom on this one. Not that we let our kids run wild but after the whole "anarchy" thing... I was so ticked at the stupidity of the school system that the pushing incident got only a "next time.. walk around the little brat". (fortunately, she is the type of kid that gets upset if Mommy or Daddy is disappointed in her behavior).
I'm shocked it took this long for the ridiculous over reactions to begin.
More to follow, I'm sure.
Here in Plano TX schools there was a fight (two girls) a few days back in a school, not a really big deal actually. But the kids were handcuffed and taken off.
Yeah, the stupid meter will now peg out.
Then he'd be suspended for racism.
Teachers sure are dumb. Maybe that's why the kids are too.
Thanks for the ping!
Thanks, VeniVidiVici! I had a gut feeling it was Spring but never heard of the school before.

Last Mysteries of the Titanic DVD
The Last Mysteries of the Titanic DVD takes you into the depths of the deep blue sea where filming was once impossible. James Cameron and his amazing team have pulled together some of the most advanced technology to take you down into the shipwrecked Titanic and show its grandeur. In the Titanic DVD Last Mysteries, you are taken into the Turkish Baths, down the massive staircase, into hidden passageways and so much more.
This title is exclusive to the Discovery Channel Store.
In the Last Mysteries Of The Titanic DVD, Academy Award-winning director James Cameron leads a team of underwater explorers on a series of historic dives to document the remains of the world's most famous shipwreck. Using two, $20-million research subs, four mini-robots, a seafloor-to-satellite data system and a suite of the most advanced cameras and lights, Cameron's team provides real-time images of the ship's interior, including hidden passageways and vast rooms that haven't been seen in over 90 years.
The Titanic DVD shows Cameron playing the ultimate video game by directing the robot explorers from inside his mini-sub – two-and-a-half miles under the Atlantic Ocean –. Using piloting techniques perfected in earlier dives to other parts of the ship, he steers his 'bot down the Titanic's massive staircase toward the elaborate, electric-powered Turkish Baths – an impressive swimming and recreational complex that was a marvel of engineering at the time of the ship's construction. In the Titanic shipwreck DVD, less than 100 ft away, beyond a series of barriers, there is an even more impressive sight – one of the last great, unseen places inside the Titanic.
Presented in full screen format.
Buy the Last Mysteries of the Titanic DVD, and watch spellbound as James Cameron uses technological advances to film the Titanic in all its grandeur beneath the sea!

The to-do list
Robin Brownlee
December 18 2008 01:06PM
If I was King of the World, or better yet, Daryl Katz, and could snap my fingers and shape the Edmonton Oilers until they fit my vision of what a hockey team should be, there would be changes. Brother, would there be changes.
With the Oilers sitting at 14-14-2 through 30 games after Wednesday's 4–2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, some fans are frustrated beyond words with the performance of a team coach Craig MacTavish deemed in pre-season as a contender for a Northwest Division title.
Then again, despite the inconsistencies -- like playing one of their best games of the season in a 3–0 win over the Canucks last weekend before getting their backsides handed to them without a whimper in a 9–2 loss to Chicago Tuesday -- optimists might peruse Western Conference standings today and insist, "It isn't that bad."
Well, it is that bad, at least in my mind, and I didn't even like the make-up of this edition of the Oilers as much as some fans did when the season began. I picked them to be in the mix, as usual, but to finish ninth.
What would I do?
Ain't Rocket Surgery
Let's first state the obvious -- it's infinitely easier to sit in front of a laptop and pontificate about what must be done, who should be traded and who should be acquired, than it is for GM Steve Tambellini or president of hockey operations Kevin Lowe to pick up the telephone and make it happen in the real world. Duh!
That said, here's my list of things to do -- in order of importance -- based on what I've seen and heard, what I know and what I think. And, yes, much of it is Master of the Obvious stuff that has already been suggested by people smarter than I...
1. PICK TWO GOALTENDERS. Three doesn't work. Never has. Never will. I don't care which two, as long as one of them is Jeff Deslauriers because I'm not willing to lose him to waivers for nothing at this point.
- With no takers via trade right now, I'd send Dwayne Roloson to the AHL, even if he's played better than Mathieu Garon at this point. Roloson's a pro and he gets his full salary in the minors. He'd be a mentor to Devan Dubnyk.
- It's time to find out if Garon can regain his form of last season and prove he's a legit No. 1 starter. If Garon can't do that by starting, say, seven of the next 10 games, I shop him. If he doesn't move, I send him to the minors, recall Roloson and ride Deslauriers the rest of the way.
- In any case, Roloson's gone after this season. What I want to know is if Garon or Deslauriers is my starter next season or if I'm diving into the trade and free agent pool to get a stopper.
2. SORT IT OUT UP FRONT. And, for crying out loud, stop trying to force square pegs into round holes, as was the case too often with MacTavish early this season when he tried to make a center out of Fernando Pisani and a left winger out of Erik Cole.
- Keep Dustin Penner, Shawn Horcoff and Ales Hemsky together as the first line. It's working.
- Cut your losses and trade Cole. He's not producing. He's not re-signing in Edmonton as an unrestricted free agent. Get what you can for him -- picks, prospects, a bag of pucks. The sooner the better.
- Consider going with three offensive lines instead of the traditional two scoring lines, one checking line and an energy/grinding line format. Is there enough talent on the second and third lines with Sam Gagner, Andrew Cogliano, Robert Nilsson, Gilbert Brule, Pisani and Rob Schremp or Marc Pouliot in the mix as your second six? While I've said before I'd rather not have more than four "small" forwards on the roster, I'd look at this group for 10 games to find out.
- Establish a fourth line. For me, it's going to be captain Ethan Moreau on left wing and Kyle Brodziak at centre every game. The right winger is Zack Stortini or Steve MacIntyre, when he's healthy again.
3. FIX THE PK. Stop the presses!
This season's miserable showing by the penalty killing is a bit of a mystery to me because the personnel up front -- Horcoff, Moreau, Pisani and Brodziak -- has proven capable in the past, although it's obvious the Oilers have lost too many face-offs leading directly to goals and aren't blocking shots like they have in past seasons.
- Given that I'd move Cole and would like to at least look at the mix of the seven forwards mentioned above as components of secondary scoring lines, I'd be looking to move No. 26 for a proven face-off man who can kill penalties. If that took Cole and, say, Pouliot, Nilsson or Schremp, so be it.
- Add a tough-as-nails-mean-as-hell defenceman (not named Jason Smith) capable of clearing the front of the net like a D9 Cat with a jammed throttle. See below.
4. TOUGHEN UP THE D. On paper, having a back end loaded with puck-movers makes sense -- and it certainly works for the Detroit Red Wings -- but the Oilers have sacrificed grit and shutdown capability with the personnel in place now.
- Keep any three from the group of Denis Grebeshkov, Tom Gilbert, Sheldon Souray and Lubomir Visnovsky and trade the odd-man for a proven veteran who can play a shutdown role.
- In my mind, the likeliest candidates to go are Gilbert and Grebeshkov because both are relatively soft and I'm not willing to give Grebeshkov a long-term contract to keep him. Besides, not many teams will take Souray's contract, despite a great start, because of his age and injury history.
- If I've got, say, Souray, Visnovsky and Gilbert as my three offensive D-men plus a shutdown guy for whoever I trade, then I'm keeping Staios and Smid as my fifth and sixth guys for now and Strudwick as my swing man.
5. TAKE STOCK. Who's who and what's what?
- Decide once and for all by the trade deadline if Brule and Schremp fit in the long-term plans. If they don't, move them.
- Get a read and make a call on whether Theo Peckham is ready to play in the NHL next season. How about Taylor Chorney? Any chance Jordan Eberle is ready for 2009–10? If he is, does that make one of the small forwards on the roster available as trade bait?
- Does Dubnyk factor into the goaltending picture at the NHL level next season? I'm guessing not, but my scouting staff has to be all over him for the rest of this season to find out if it's a possibility.
6. THE BOTTOM LINE. Pink slips for failure.
- If the Oilers miss the playoffs this season after tweaking and tinkering from the 40-game mark to the trade deadline, MacTavish and assistants Charlie Huddy, Bill Moores, Kelly Buchberger and Pete Peeters are sacked, fired, gone. No questions. No song and dance. Gone.
December 18 2008, 01:12PM
Oh man.... This is some good stuff. I will be referring back to this article for the rest of the season.
December 18 2008, 01:15PM
Who saw this coming?!?
December 18 2008, 01:29PM
You'd never get to fire MacTavish - he'd lynch you for sending Roli to the minors.
Not much to disagree with other than maybe the goaltending.
I am not sure what you can further find out about Garon. He is clearly capable of a top end game but still struggles with consistancy. I would have to think that eliminates him from an future plans as a starter and because of that it only makes sense to stick with Rollie for the remainder of the year and go shopping hard elsewhere for next year.
Even with some maturity from the kids this team is going to need better than middle of the road goaltending for the next couple seasons.
December 18 2008, 01:33PM
Wow, that was a fast response Robin.... Now for my next wish.... Can you please find some way to have a sit down with Mr. MacTavish and relay this template out to him?
Great work.
I will agree. This post is magnificent! I can agree with most of it besides firing the coaches. we have a terrific team of coaches here in Edmonton. They are all very sharp, but the fact remains that it is the players that play the game - not the coaches.
Question to the people: Why does it seem that when we aquire an elite player that they go "cold" in Edmonton? Examples:
Peter "Best Hair" Sykora Adam Oates Eric Cole Jeoffrey Spewpull Geoff Sanderson (not really - but an example) Peter "head was dead" Nedved
Coaches? Weather? Ugly Women?
Statement: I'd do all the goalie stuff mentioned above but ditch Roloson & Garon at the end of the year & start with JDD & DD.
Brownlee has it all figured out, why can't the Oilers management?

Sykora was our top scorer the year he was here Oates was done Cole hasn't been given an opportunity on the RW on a scoring line Lupal, well that's hard to figure Nedved was basically done and has never performed at an elite level since Sanderson was done
Robin I hope if this sh*t-show keeps up we don't have to wait until the end of the season to see changes behind the bench. I completely agree that you need a partner when you want to do a trade but why wait to make coaching changes? For the love of God...if Mac T gets fired (I mean promoted to upper management)and he's replaced by Huddy or Bucky the Oilers are doomed if that's their idea of change. Not that is matters in the big picture but why is Brule on the farm and Reddox is playing every other game up here? From what I've seen they're both gritty but Brule looks to have more offensive upside and is more visible when he's on the ice.
I agree... and agree... and agree... and agree.
OK - let's make it happen... wait a minute. We are only the fans. we don't count. Crap...

Agree with your observation on Brule!
December 18 2008, 01:48PM
There's a lot of good stuff here, but a few things that I think should be argued:
- Sending Roloson to the minors so that Garon can play.
Garon's been miserable this season, while Roloson's been pretty good. I think that neither is in the mix next year, so dump Garon and run Roloson/JDD the rest of the way. If the team is still unsure on Garon, play him, but there's no reason to expose Roloson to waivers.
- Three scoring lines
It's not that it's a bad concept but I very much doubt the Oilers have the needed personnel. Pouliot and Pisani could give two-thirds of a scoring line that probably won't wilt facing tougher opposition, but everyone else needs some shelter. Thus far this season the Oilers have had difficulty icing two scoring lines, let alone three.
- Chorney, Eberle and Dubnyk as possible NHL'ers next season.
Dubnyk's AHL sv% is now .903, Taylor Chorney can't generate offense in the AHL and is lugging around a hideous +/-, and Jordan Eberle's a smallish goal-scorer when the Oilers have too many. I'd advise patience for all three and instead get a solid read on Ryan Potulny, and the other three guys that Brownlee mentioned (Schremp, Brule, Peckham).
December 18 2008, 01:49PM
Good stuff, but keep Roli - ditch Garon. Roli is playing for his career right now and will step it up.

Probably to work on his offensive game - Brule's more likely to get his offensive game back playing 20+ minutes a night in Springfield than the 7 minutes that Reddox gets on an NHL 4th line.
December 18 2008, 01:53PM
@ Jonathan Willis:
No - its b/c MacT loves players who *he thinks* fit the role he did while playing (see T. Peterson). Time to ditch the Reddox experiment.
@ Jonathan Willis: I'm not necessarily picking Garon over Roloson, what I'm saying is pick two to keep - do whatever assessment needs to be done, weigh any consequences of picking two and do it.
I see more upside to moving Roloson. In my mind, he'd be better for Dubnyk in the minors. In my mind, I'm not bringing Roli back at age 40 no matter how well he plays, but I'd like to have one last look at Garon before I decide to try to keep him or cut him loose.
I don't necessarily want or need to know if Eberle, Dybnyk and Chorney can play in the NHL next season -- I'm well aware of their progress or lack of it at this point -- but I want a solid read, as in somebody putting their job on the line, tellimg me who WILL and WON'T be an NHL player. Same with Schremp and Brule -- crap or get off the pot. Make a call and live with it.
I like the idea of ditching Roli and going with Garon and JDD. Imagine what is must be like to be a goalie on this team, if you are JDD you have been told you are not going to go anywhere so you can just relax and rest. Roloson has got to assume he is on the way out, and Garon is not sure what is going on.
There is no chance Roloson has a future with the team beyond this season. Eliminate the destractions and let Garon dictate whether he is part of next year or not.
If it appears that Peckham is ready then Staios needs to go. His paycheq no longer equals his play. He is being paid as a top 4 and playing in the bottom 2 and stuggling. Gilbert also goes if we can fetch the much talked about center with some size and face off ability. Grebs can sign a 1 year (not every contract needs to be 4 plus years.)
Agree 100% with Cole, time to go. Besides the ability to skate shows no sign he is a good hockey player.
Awesome article.

The coaches are responsible for the players to perform to their highest caliber, the Oilers are not!! The coaches are clearly not getting through to these guys
December 18 2008, 02:06PM
@ Steele: Some of those player decent players but to call any of them ELITE is quite a stretch!
Nice. Except i too think garon is gone, Roli has been hot so why not ride roli and JDD. But, if there is even a shadow of doubt about JDD being an elite tender, make a trade or signing. We need goaltending, we ain't Detroit (and even they are struggling this year without an elite tender). Love Moreau on the 4th line, the guy is a grinder, he needs to play like it, hit, fight and get dirty.
December 18 2008, 02:09PM
Cole should at least be given a chance on the second line with Cogliano and Nilsson. I agree with RB that we need a better third line - what about Shremp or Brule, Pou and Gagne. Then I like RB's fourth line.
Robin, totally agree with you, sort out Goaltending, give Delaurier games to develop because they started a youth movement last year and might as well complete it or wait till free agency and go hard after a big name tender if one is available. Defence is too soft. Lubo, Souray and Gilbert are fine but try to aquire a shut down D-man that plays like Robyn Regher via trade or from with in. Forwards are to small, and for petes sake go get someone to complement Ales Hemsky for a top line center. The name Jason Spezza comes to mind, if its do able. Most important fire the coach, and assistants, get the old boys club out of there along with the belief that mediocrity is alright. They need a new belief and new ideas in there coaching staff in order to completely revamp the team.
December 18 2008, 02:15PM
@ OilFan in Calgary:
Last I checked, The GM decides who stays in the minors and who stays with the big club. In other words, Brule's in the minors because Lowe/Tambellini believe that's the best course of action.
December 18 2008, 02:17PM
@ RobinB:
Fair enough on the prospects. As for the goaltenders, do you believe Dwayne Roloson (6-5-2, 2.77 GAA, .917 SV%) would actually clear waivers?
@RobinB This may be sort of off topic but since you are around the room....
I don't know if leadership or lack of it is part of what's wrong with the team but strong leadership is never a bad thing.
Garon strikes me as a guy that simply doesn't fit the build of a leader, but clearly I wouldn't know one way or the other. On the other hand when it comes to Rollie you sometimes hear real positive stuff about his presence in the room and sometimes that he is...well...a dick.
Long winded question but I am curious if leadership comes into play at all when deciding on the goaltender?
December 18 2008, 02:18PM
The one thing that I might point out is that if you are suggesting they run 3 scoring lines then it might be a better idea to keep Cole and give him a chance to score goals on the RW with a scoring line.
Can Gagner play on the left side? If so I would try to run Cole with Gagner and Cogliano as a second line, since Gagner and Cogliano seem to be the 2 least likely to be moved.
Then you use the 3rd line to try various line combinations/auditions for the trade market/auditions to stay in the NHL.
Then the fourth of Brodziak, Moreau, and Stortini/MacIntyre is pretty obvious.
I'm sure that something along these lines has been discussed many times before, but it seems so obvious that I do not understand why it hasn't been tried.
Why has Cole not been tried with 2 kids? Why have they not even tried 3 scoring lines for even a short spin?
I actually believe that MacTavish has the necessary knowledge to be a good coach, but I am starting to believe that his pride is keeping him down. He has repeatedly avoided even attempting the obvious, and I can only conclude that it is due to pride. He is unwilling ot admit that his ideas have not worked. Worse, he seems to be shunning the obvious intentionally because that would be giving it to everyone else, which his pride will not allow.
This team needs a coach who will try anything that might make the team better, not a coach whose pride gets in the way of making the obvious choice.
Sometimes things are obvious because they are the right thing to do.
OilFan in Calgary wrote:

I couldn't agree more. How many points is Cole expected to put up playing with Brodziak and Moreau??? He puts out the effort - skates hard, drives to the net, finishes his checks. He surely can't be expected to produce like Hemsky. JW did a comparison of stats with Hemsky and Horc with various LWers. If my memory serves me correctly, when playing with Moreau that line was at it's worst. Why would we expect better results from this configuration of the current 3rd liners?
@ Jonathan Willis: I don't like Roloson's chances of clearing, but he's not in my long-terms plans and that solves the three-goaltender problem and leaves Garon and Deslauriers.
If Garon can't take the opportunity and prove beyond any doubt he's a guy I wan't to re-sign for next season, he's gone too and I'm into the trade and free-agent market in the summer.
What I'm preaching here in most instances is making a call after due diligence, sticking with it and living with the consequences. Fence-sitting may seem safter, but it also muddies the waters. We're seeing that in spades right now.
December 18 2008, 02:27PM
@ RobinB:
I agree on fence-sitting, but after Garon's start to the year, I'm at the point where I wouldn't trust him in a tandem with Deslauriers. There are better, more certain options on the UFA market this season - a team hoping for the playoffs can't place its hopes in someone as inconsistent as Garon.
@ Gord: Cole has some trade value. His track record, despite declining numbers in recent seasons, trumps this lousy start. Has he had the best opportunity? No. But let's start looking ahead instead of back.
Cole is NOT re-signing here next season. He has some value in trading for players to address holes in the line-up. I'm not talking about running him out of town, I'm talking about giving up something to get something.
@ Jonathan Willis: So you are suggesting that we should wait until we are clearly out of the playoff picture before we try to resolve the 3 goalie issue? :/ After 30 games and the team sitting at .500 they won't have long to wait. I agree with RB and his reasoning why Roli should be the odd man out. Don't get me wrong, Roli has played great and a few wins came squarely off his back, but there is no chance to see him between the pipes next year so let's move on.
Fire MacT at the 40 game mark if we are not at least six games over .500 and have Lowe coach the rest of the year or until a quality replacement can be found. We can not wait until the end for our traditional job saving late charge with promise of greater things next year.

I agree with trading Cole prior to year end, but let's give him a shot at IMPROVING his trade value. If Cole can put up 15 - 20 goals between now and the trade deadline, teams will be stumbling over each other to throw picks and prospects at the Oilers for him.
December 18 2008, 02:36PM
@ Gord:
Nope, that isn't my suggestion. My suggestion is that since I wouldn't trust Garon with the starter's job next year, and Roloson gives the Oilers a better chance to win this year, Mathieu Garon should be sent away. As to where - I really don't care at this point.
Play Roli/JDD the rest of the way, and at the end of the season, thank Roloson for his service and wish him luck in Toronto. Sign/trade for a real goaltender (caveat: not Khabibulin) in the summer.
December 18 2008, 02:47PM
@ Jonathan Willis:
Granted the GM does ultimately decide which players get sent to the minors, but I'm sure he doesn't do this in a vacuum. If MacT wanted Reddox sent down and Shremp or Brule called up - it would happen (s.t. any waiver issues as is the problem with the three goltenders). My bet is MacT wants Reddox in Edmonton b/c he can't help himself with a player like that. I really do enjoy MacT as the coach and don't want him to be fired -whoever the GM is should force his hand and make the call.
December 18 2008, 02:49PM
@ Jonathan Willis:
But wouldn't garon be an attractive Back up for the playoffs? A Low cost guy to be your back up and has some wins under his belt.
If you were NYR and Lunquist (spelling???) goes down you're hosed. Having a guy who can play and has ant least at somepoint while not breaking the bank could be an attractive quality.
AS for running three scoring lines I think the Oilers have the skill to do it, especially if your fourth line is Moreau Brodziak and Pisani/MacIntyre.
Brule should be in the NHL and could fit in nicely on the third line.
BUT the Oilers do need another center. Willis you've been saying that all year and I humbly defer to your awesomness.
I personally Think Staios will be moved before the year is out. Either to someone looking for a veteran presence on the blue line for a cup run or a young team in need of stability (anywhere in the southeast).
@ OilFan in Calgary: Know this: MacT has more influence on who stays, who plays and who gets called up than almost any other coach in the NHL I can think of.
Robin, if a coaching move was to happen, who would you like to see on a list of guys to replace Mac T?
December 18 2008, 02:56PM
@ Fiveandagame:
Depends on the team. The Rangers have Valiquette, whose stats line reads as follows for the past two seasons:
I dont think that there are a lot of teams in the league who would trust Garon over their current backups (Garon's numbers below):
Then again, I didn't think anyone would sign Andrew Raycroft either (and no matter what the papers say, his .870 SV% makes it clear that he hasn't improved from last season). I suppose Colorado might be interested in Garon.

Fair enough. I'd assumed that Reddox over Brule is a choice made by a GM with a long-term plan, because after the gong-show in Columbus, if I were a GM I'd give Brule a year in the minors too.
@ Jonathan Willis: I think Brule is handicapped by the number of games he has played in the NHL.
He is dangerously close to being waiver elligible so if they are to call him up for any real length of time he pretty much needs to stay for the year.
It's tough to accomodate with three goalies on the roster.
December 18 2008, 03:07PM
@ Jonathan Willis: Damn I was hoping for different numbers from Valiquette.
I see your point. If Roloson's contract wasn't so big he might be an attractive guy for a team to have on the bench if they are going on cup run.
This is probably what Tambellini and company have been encountering all year trying to move either one. Garon is cheap but hasn't played well and Roli has played well but is expensive and old.
December 18 2008, 03:28PM
If we COULD actually get anything for Roli right now and if there is a market out there for him I really believe that we should move him. Why not get something, anything for him while we can because like you guys have said, he won't be back. To me its blindingly(is that a real word?) obvious.

Staios and Stability? You can't be serious, their polar opposites at this point. If by veteran presence you mean "old", then I guess I see your point.
We'll be extremely lucky to pick up a second round pick for Steve at the deadline.
The only change this team needs is a leadership change. Our leadership consists of third line pluggers. Moreau and Staios should be leading by example on the ice... yet all their capable of doing is showing the young guys exactly what not to do on the ice.
Consistently good teams have their young guys looking up to star players who they strive to become. Our young guys? They have nothing to look up to, except plumbers who preach nothing more than "work hard".
December 18 2008, 03:34PM
@ jiggy:
The young guys can look up to Hemsky and Horcoff....
December 18 2008, 03:47PM
@ jiggy: I didn't say we would get anything for Staios, I just said I think he'll be moved. To a team like St Louis or Atlanta, he's not a bad option for your bottom pairing.
Some extra pucks for him would be nice....(That isn't a typo I do mean Pucks not picks)
December 18 2008, 03:48PM
@ Travis Dakin: Well come on....Hemsky for sure, but Horc? Oh oh oh they can Look up to SOURAY too!!!
December 18 2008, 03:51PM
Roli has been the best of the three and you want to send him to the minors? it's probably not far fetched to think of him back next year since there's next to no chance of DD being ready.
a contending team that wants cole is not going to give up a reliable faceoff guy to get him. if cole goes it's for picks and or prospects.
other than that I can't argue, the young guys and top prospects are too small. despite some opinions of him I think you could net a decent return for Grebeshkov.
the thing is, all the teams are still bunched close together, maybe this is a playoff team but if they're not in the thick of it come the deadline, sell what you can. aside from frustrating the fanbase there's no point doing anything until then.
Great article Robin. (Do you think you'll still be allowed in the press box, now. :)
A few points in relation to Robin's recommendations:
1. Robin is dead right about the goalies. Play Deslauriers for 7 of the next 10 games. If he falters, send him down and no one will sign him. If he succeeds, waive either Garon or Roloson. At this point, it doesn't matter who you waive because I Garon isn't signing here next year given the current gong show, and I can't see a 40 year old Roli getting us into the playoffs next year either. That is, we're probably going to go with Deslauriers and some yet to be signed free agent next year. (N.B. it doesn't matter how much we like Garon since management obviously has no faith in him.)
2. We're not going to make the playoffs, so we might as well clear some dead wood to lower the cap and create more ice time for young players. That means at least one of our overpaid veterans have to go: Staois, Moreau, Cole, and maybe even Pisani. (N.B. Pisani is great and isn't overpaid, but could fetch a lot in a trade with a playoff team. Given, their cap hits, I wouldn't expect much of a return for Moreau and Staios.
3. Hemsky, Visnovsky, Souray, Horcoff, Penner, and Gilbert are the core of the team now. It's a good core at a good price. What we need to do is figure out which of the kids are part of the core going forward. Obviously, Brule, Schremp, Gagner, Cogliano, Grebs and Nilson are too similar and too soft to all play on the same team, especially given that the core players above are pretty soft. I'd trade Nilson, Grebs, and Schremp, but that's just me.
4. I like MacT, but I have doubts about his staff. Even if you're not going the head coach, why not fire some assistants or at least add some assistants whose sole job is to work on the finer, strategic details of the game? (The anti-buchberger?) I know MacT is responsible for his staff, etc., but I think this is can be done and could really improve the team.
5. Fans and management in Edmonton are still suffering from sort of PTSD about rebuilding; after all 'we're rebuilding' ued to mean 'get used to not winning, because we can't sign good players.' We were always told 'maybe next year' and 'look at our young guns', but deep down we knew there was no hope. So, now when we hear we should rebuild the team, we freak out. But we have to get over our PTSD or we're gonna be the next Maple Leafs.

Robin, I agree with some not with others. #1...agreed. Three goalies never works period end of story #2...agreed. Move Cole simply because it's a round peg in a square hole. Penner on first line, doesn't work. Not enough speed, skill or desire. Let's face it, he is a third line player. #3 agreed. fix the PK sack Bucky and bring back Daum. He is a teacher and can adapt. Bucky cannot and never has shown that he can teach young players. All he did last year was yell at the young players. #4 agreed. They won't/can't sign Greb, so move him along with Staios for something, 2nd round draft would work for me. #5..OK fine #6...this is the big one. The old boys club has not worked. The Oilers have not won with them as the coaches. Peters has made every goalie he has taught worse...the numbers don't lie. Bucky is not a coach, Rob Daum and Bill Moores are coaches, I haven't got a clue what Huddy does (nor does anyone else). As for MacT, sorry I like you and all but coaches have a shelf life and his is done. Time to move on and out!

Im looking at purchasing 10x8 rear wheels and was wondering if these would fit? I noticed it says 10x9 rims
MotoSport StaffOver 3 years ago Location: Portland, OR, USA
A: This tire will work best with a 10x9 rim. You can mount to a 10x8, but the width being a little more narrow will round out the tire's tread or footprint and may not perform as well. I suggest mounting these to a 10x9 for best results.
