If you you want to read Chrysler Group's filing for an initial public offering, better set aside a few hours.
But leafing through, you'll find it is sprinkled with interesting nuggets about the past and future of the smallest of Detroit Big 3 automakers.
For instance, there's talk of a "first ever" new small SUV built off the same platform as Chrysler's smallest cars, such as the Dodge Dart. It will come on the enlarged, Fiat-derived platform that Chrysler calls its "small, wide" platform, or chassis.
It does not disclose what's planned for the vehicle, whether it will be a Jeep, Chrysler or Dodge. It has previously discussed a new small Jeep SUV that would be built in Italy.
Speaking of platforms, the IPO filing says Chrysler has made progress in simplifying its products. In 2010, it had 11 platforms. By the end of next year, they'll have nine -- yet will have been able to increase the number of segments in which they compete, from four to six.
Chrysler also says its revitalization has rolled downhill to its dealers. In 2009, the year that it went through bankruptcy reorganization, Chrysler says 70% of its dealers reported being profitable. By June 30 of this year, 88% said that.
But it also warned investors in the filing that it has no plans to begin paying a stock dividend "in the foreseeable future."
And it said that Fiat -- the 58.5% owner that wants to buy all of Chrysler and is not happy that the United Auto Workers health trust, which owns the rest, forced this IPO filing -- may decide to part ways with Chrysler and put it back in play.
"Fiat is free to sell, in whole or in part, its equity ownership in us, which could reduce Fiat's incentive to support our industrial alliance and may subject us to the control of a presently unknown third party," Chrysler said in its filing.
That would leave Chrysler particularly vulnerable in two areas where the Fiat connection is key -- a lack of presence outside the North American market and in adding competitive entries in small cars and SUVs, market segments where Fiat brings expertise.
Chrysler's most important new model this year is the Jeep Cherokee, an all-new compact crossover SUV jointly developed with Fiat. And that's before the new smaller joint crossover SUV cited in the filing. Those among the hottest product segments in the U.S. auto market.
"The convergence of our vehicle platforms with Fiat will enable us to optimize production capacity and manufacturing flexibility by allowing us to produce vehicles in various locations throughout the world," the filing said.

Watching the news link from nhk Roku mentioned. They had a discussion of it when a Navy Ship picked up Radiation 60 miles off the coast. The 'expert" was saying similar stuff to that as well how I learn a nuclear blast from a actual bomb is 100 times more deadly and yet still even with the wind doesn't spread as deadly as people say it does. So a nuclear plant is much smaller area of infection. Can't really trust the American news, they rather scare their viewers than actually give out correct information. Why I rather watch Euro and the translated Japan link Roku gave.
Here's this Cartoon from Japan is more informative than our western news.

Guarding my special blanket
It sat on the closet shelf for nearly 50 years. I didn't use it, but because it was something I had when I was growing up, I never wanted to give it away, either.
Now, my childhood blanket is helping settle the dispute at our house over where to set the thermostat when we go to bed.
Jenny always is warm and wants the thermostat no higher than 68 degrees. She says 68 is warm enough for any house at night. If I turn it up another degree or two, she complains about the heat. She even wakes up sweating.
Meanwhile, even though we sleep under a sheet and blanket, I'm always cold. Of course, the blanket is one of those modern-day thermal things, the kind where you can see through the loose weave. I can't figure out how something with a bunch of holes in it is supposed to keep you warm.
I think the problem is the temperature is not really 68. The thermostat is in the hallway at the other end of the house. I'm pretty sure it's often 7 or 8 degrees colder in our bedroom than what it says on the thermostat.
"Good," says Jenny, when I whine about the difference. Her solution was to buy me flannel pajamas to wear to bed.
They didn't seem to help much. But one night a couple of weeks ago when it was particularly cold, I noticed my red, wool blanket folded nicely on the shelf. My mother always had told me to take special care of it because it was a Hudson Bay blanket.
"I'm 66 years old; what am I saving it for?" I thought.
I put it on the bed, folded in half. It looked a little silly because it didn't cover quite half the bed. It was made for a double. It would cover enough to cover me, though.
But by the time I got ready for bed, Molly, our beagle who sleeps on the end of the bed, had rumpled up the blanket, curled up and gone to sleep.
Oh, my goodness, what would my mother have said about a dog sleeping on the special blanket? I wondered.
I made Molly move. A couple of minutes later, she was back on the blanket. I made her move again. Soon she was back.
"She must be cold, too," I said.
Jenny gave me that look, the one she reserves for when she thinks I've said something totally stupid.
"Well, she can't sleep on my special blanket," I said. "She'll tear it up."
Jenny rummaged around in a drawer, found an old flannel nightgown and threw it on the bed. Molly immediately curled up on it and went to sleep.
Now each night I put Molly's nightie on the bed and then unfold my special blanket. Molly's happy and I'm happy – and warm.
And Jenny? She puts up with it. That's because she won; the thermostat is still on 68.

Cardiff Blues ended their winless run in the Heineken Cup after seeing off Sale Sharks 26-14 at Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday.
Cardiff Blues ended their winless run in the Heineken Cup after seeing off Sale Sharks 26-14 at Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday.
Cardiff were looking to bounce back from a heavy defeat to Toulon a week earlier, while Sale were searching for form after being humbled at home by Montpellier.
It was the visitors who got off to the perfect start in this match, though their try in the fourth minute was as good as it would get for Sale.
Tommy Taylor was the man over the line for the Sharks following a rolling maul, but, after Rob Miller added the extras, Leigh Halfpenny reduced the arrears with a penalty goal after the visitors infringed at the maul.
Two further penalties from Halfpenny in the minutes that followed saw Cardiff head into the break with a 9-7 lead, before a frantic start to the second half.
Sale regained the lead with their second converted try just two minutes after the restart, coming from Aston Croall, though they were quickly behind again as the Blues were quick to respond.
The number nine Lloyd Williams was the man to get over the line, and Halfpenny's conversion made it 16-14 with more than 30 minutes still remaining.
The brace of tries did not provide the platform for a flurry of points in the second half, however, as the two teams tried but failed to take a foothold in the game.
The pivotal points were scored in the final ten minutes, as Cardiff withstood intense Sharks pressure before adding their second converted try of the afternoon, and a penalty for good measure.
Michael Paterson's effort on 74 minutes left Sale with a mountain to climb, and, after adding the extras, Halfpenny's penalty in the dying minutes rounded off the scoring and sealed a welcome victory for Cardiff.
The scorers:
For Cardiff Blues:
Tries: Williams, Paterson
Con: Halfpenny 2
Pens: Halfpenny 4
For Sale:
Tries: Taylor, Croall
Cons: Miller 2
Cardiff Blues: 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Owen Williams, 12 Jamie Roberts, 11 Harry Robinson, 10 Rhys Patchell, 9 Lloyd Williams, 8 Andries Pretorius, 7 Sam Warburton, 6 Josh Navidi, 5 James Down, 4 Lou Reed, 3 Scott Andrews, 2 Rhys Williams, 1 Sam Hobbs.
Replacements: 16 Kristian Dacey, 17 Nathan Trevett, 18 Benoit Bourrust, 19 Robin Copeland, 20 Michael Paterson, 21 Lewis Jones, 22 Jason Tovey, 23 Dafydd Hewitt.

Isle of Wight MP Andrew Turner meets the Needles Coastwatch team.
EYES and ears are needed for the National Coastwatch Institution lookout point at the Needles.
Isle of Wight MP Andrew Turner has joined the call for more volunteers to man the Needles station, which operates seven days a week.
The lookouts help to ensure the safety of people off the West Wight coast.
Mr Turner recently visited the station, where he was met by station manager Jim Scott, deputy manager Don Hughes, and secretary and PR officer Maurice Fairall.
Mr Turner said: "They are currently seeking a few more volunteers willing to commit to at least four hours a month to help cover the work that needs to be done. I'm sure there are Islanders who would like to spend a few hours in such beautiful surroundings, watching out over the Needles and the local wildlife, whilst helping fellow Islanders and visitors."
Mr Scott said: "We are flexible with regard to the time persons can commit to and no previous experience is required as full training is given. We welcome enquiries from both men and women aged between 18 and 80 who are reasonably fit as access to the lookout involves a 'close to vertical' ladder."
Those interested should contact the team on (01983) 853687 or (01983) 755649.

GDB 41: Sterility 101
January 11 2009 03:00PM
After watching a mind numbing Eagles and Giants game all morning we finally figured out something that has been bothering us about this mind numbingly mediocre season thus far,
It's way too sterile.
Sterile as hell. Absolutely nothing interesting is going on as game after game of warm crud is served to the Citizens of the Oilersnation. A losing team can be entertaining to watch as it self destructs. Ask the fans of the Detroit Lions who still show up to scream the same seven suggestions on TV, Radio and websites all over the place. But these Oilers?
Where is the drama? This is a team of highly skilled veterans and punk ass rookies. There should be some serious swagger in the Oilers dressing room. They went into this season thinking they were going to contend for the Northwest division for heavens sakes. Now look at them. Trembling before the lowly St. Louis Blues as they roll into town. Where is the fire? Where is the fight in practice as Steve Staios shows Robert Nilsson what it means to be an Oiler? Where is an inappropriate comment thrown out by an angry Ethan Moreau who looks Terry Jones directly in the eye and say "I am going to bust some heads in here. Everyone out now."
Where are the trade rumors? Where are the vague comments being issued from Oilers brass about "looking at options" or "having conversations with other teams right now?" Where is any sort of bone being thrown to the masses of Oilers fans who are currently pissed with the team - but may be bordering on bored and might even become (gasp) disinterested if this sterility both on and off the ice keeps up?
Shit. we watched a Giants game today and we were able to stay interested. Now we are watching Corner Gas. That can't be good can it?
If you want to read something out of the ordinary go read Robin Brownlee's Marc Crawford story. It's a comment on this weeks Righteous Sack Beating. THAT has some fire.
Oh yeah.
Go Oilers
Sad, very sad but true. I've resorted to just bagging the Nucks and Lames fans as they come in my store, then, showing them my replica Stanley Cup Banners. It is getting old. I'd like to tell them how we kicked there asses and are getting another banner this year.....MAN I HATE THE MARC CRAWFORD.
There it is. Thanks for the GD.
I guess Robin was right.
How did you get up in time to watch the Eagles game though?? Or did you just watch the highlites?
Anyways a few things today.
Mact's comments on Schremp. Maybe it is the case but to say them things about him when hes on a team struggling in Springfield is totally unprofessional. Why stab him in the back when he isnt even playing for you. What a pathetic loser of a coach. Im not saying Schremp should be here right now. Im just saying to throw a player under the bus that isnt even here is a disgrace.
Did mact forget that the Oilers were 3-1 with Schremp in the lineup with 3 points in 4 games and was +2.
How could he say he cant help the Oilers win??
Just shows his true colors.
Another thing. 2 times this year now a player that has had a concussion skates the rest of the game to sit out one after. That should not happen. Ever. Never.
One last thing. I hope we get killed tonight. 5-2 Blues. Than I can tune into the post game and listen to Mact blame injuries on the teams lose. Meanwhile St. Louis is without 2 of their top 3 players. That will really show me how pathetic that loser really is.
Enjoy the game all.

Actually, I thought he was pretty clear in his explanation.
Schremp is a bust. Get used to it.
Well, let's spice things up. Another little yarn, from just yesterday morning . . .
I was having a gab with Souray in the Oilers dressing room, just shooting the breeze. In mid-gum flap, "thwack," I take a rolled up ball of sock tape off the melon. I turn around, looking rather unimpressed, and the closest guy was Dustin Penner, sitting 15 feet away. "Was that you?" I asked. "I was aiming at Shelly," Penner says.
Still looking sour, I say, "Oh, really?" To which Penner responds, "Yes. You look kind of mad. Want to talk about it?"
Now, it wasn't a "I'll kick your fat, old backside if you want to push it" kind of "want to talk about it?" but more of a "Hey, I didn't mean to hit you and it's no big deal unless you want it to be a big deal" kind of "want to talk about it?"
Being the easy-going guy I am -- and ignoring flashbacks to the time I wanted to fight Georges Laraque in Minnesota (that one would be over as soon as I swallowed my teeth) after he kept throwing nickels and dimes at me in the press box -- I opted for no big deal.
I saw what happened to Landon Wilson when he "wanted to talk about it."
Come on Robin, take one for the team. If you getting lunch handed to you in the Oil room would've fired up Penner then so be it.
@ David S:
Great asset management. Dont you think.
@ RobinB:
The mood im in today, I would of talked about it.
Where are the comments on Schremp?
@ Milli:
Go to www.edmotonoilers.com preview and scroll down to the interview with Mact about Schremp.
@ CurtisS: Sweet, Thanks.
January 11 2009, 04:02PM
Sheesh. Did Schremp nail every member of MacT's family or what? I know Robbie has been extremely underwhelming and looks to bust any day now, but my lord that is some unbridled hatred. MacT hates Robbie Schremp more than everyone on here hates Marc Crawford.
That is unbelievable. I was not a schremp fan, but when he was up, he seemed to be in position and effective. 3 points in 4 games I think. You can hear how absolutly personal it is, he is dripping with sarcasm. But, this seems to be typical with this guy, if your one of his, untouchable, if not.....Look out. Shouldn't coaching be buissinesslike? Doing what is best for the team, leave the friggin ego out of it? Not MacT, not at all. And hey MacT, if you don't want to have to defend your desicions, start winning, and winning alot, or, quit and get a job with Anahiem, or maybe south Florida, probably not much scrutiny there.
@ Robin
What do you think of the Schremp comment. Just to make this clear. I dont think Robbie should be on the team atm. How can you say Rob isnt helping his team win when:
Rob's stats in the last 11 games 5 points
Potulny's points in the same span 6 points
Jdd in the last 5 games. 1-4 and got pulled last night and didnt play today.
I would say Springfield has more problems than Schremp.
@ RobinB:
AWESOME!!! 2 hillarious stories today, the reason to read OIlersNation daily...
January 11 2009, 05:06PM
I hate Craig Mactavish. Hes a god damn useless coach.
Shremp vs Potulny:
Potulny callup seems like a no-brainer to me. Schremp got his look. Played 2 OK games and sucked the next two. Oilers know what they'll get from him barring a miraculous turnaround. Right now he's soft and slow, not having proven otherwise back in the AHL. This isn't news. Since this is now becoming a development year, why not give the best guy on Springfield a crack at the big show?
MacT gets asked for the zillionth time "why not Schremp?", answers truthfully and you guys rake him for it. Its not like he called a press conference to announce that Schremp sucks. He just finally came out and said what alot of us have known all along. Schremp's lack of trade value is all on his own shoulders. If he wants to be on the big boys team, he has to earn it. So far, he has been found lacking. And that's MacT's fault how?
@ David S: There was no reason to say what he did. None at all.
He was talking about the same kid with 3 points in 4 games and was a +2 in that time. Im not saying he should of been called. The team went 3-1 in that span. They were on a losing streak before he got called and went on one after he got sent down. Im just saying.
January 11 2009, 05:58PM
He's says Shremp is soft and only good on the powerplay. Is that not what we are looking to replace in Hemsky? Not that Hemmer doesn't like the physical play but he doesn't exactly dish it out. Could we not use someone on forward who can actually pass the puck on the PP?
@ David S:
To add on to that.
The kid is trying to play his own game 3000 miles away.
Did I say "no reason for that" yet?
January 11 2009, 06:01PM
Enough with the Schremp. It's a discussion for high school kids on smoke breaks.
Man is it strange to hear the HNIC anthem on TSN. Just doesn't work for me. At least we get Ray Ferraro tonight. Ray, an Oilers win and Evanka would make it a perfect night.
Now if we could only get some ice girls.
I miss you barnaby. You were everything Sean Avery wished he was

Rated 3 out of 5Â by tombstone Too small One would think that Size 8-9 would actually fit a size 9 foot. Bought these as a gift and found out that is NOT the case. Don't order this size unless you are a 8 to 8 1/2 MAX June 14, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by old vermonter Warm feet for Mom! I bought these for my 91 yr old mother who is living with my sister in Vermont, after having spent 30 years in Livermore, CA! She had old scuffs that didn't stay on well, and walking is not as easy as it used to be for her. And . . . staying warm in Vt is more challenging now. The woman I talked with on the phone order helped with size by looking at past comments. I was intrigued as the description said a deep pocket helps them stay on. Well, my mother loves them and my sister says she walks better with these! They do seem to stay on the foot well. Thank you, Vermont Country Store! January 13, 2016

Rated 2 out of 5Â by skiddy Not comfortable I ordered a size larger than I normally wear because I like plenty of room to wear socks. They were still too small. The souls are too heavy for me and they are very stiff with no flexibility. They just are not the right slipper for me. I have to say I was very disappointed because they are so cute and I could not wait to get them. January 10, 2016

Julien Boucher's world championship blog Day 2 and 3
Day 2– September 14 – Litomysl, Czech Republic
Training last night went well. We kept it simple: long warm-up, followed by individual work: ball control, attack, reception and service.
It was the same story this morning. However since it was a birthday for Nic Cundy and Olivier Faucher both received some whipped cream pies courtesy of Dallas Soonias.
There are many reasons why we lost our first match : it could be jet-lag, poor defence, perhaps a more experience Czech team. Final result: 0-3 (23-25, 22-25, 25-27)
Even if we didn't play well we still kept it close. We even had leads in the second and third sets. Fred Winters played very well scoring 16 of our 50 points.
Tomorrow, the routine starts again. Training at 10 a.m. and the match at 6 p.m. This time we play in Chocen, a small town near Litomysl.
We are struggling with our internet connections so we apologize for delays in our reports.
Julien Boucher
Day 3 – September 15 - Litomysl, Czech Republic
I am writing these lines on September 16. We didn't have a good day yesterday. We were either hit with food poisoning or a virus, I'm not sure. I couldn't attend the morning training session, due to illness but I finally dragged myself out of bed to go to the match in Chocen. And now, Glenn is also feeling some stomach pains. The food here seems O.K. Let's hope the players will be spared.
From all reports, the morning training went very well. Glenn split the group. Half the players did some weight training, while the others, the group that didn't play so well on Tuesday, worked on reception-attack and vice versa.
Our second match was in Chocen, a small town 20 kilometres north of Litomysl. In a packed gym (250 people) we tried to make up for our loss the previous night. But for the second night in a row we couldn't put pressure on the Czech receivers and attackers. Glenn started Dustin Schneider for Josh Howatson and Nic Cundy for Dallas Soonias. But nothing works. We are dominated by the star Czech player who end the match with 20 kills and four aces. He is a high calibre player who'll play for Trentino, Italy next season which includes superstars Juantorena of Cuba and Kasisky of Bulgaria. The final score: 0-3 for the Czechs (19-25, 23-25, 19-25). Gavin Schmitt was our top scorer with 11 points.
The game plan for tonight: elevate our level of play, by playing harder and with more intensity
For the rest of the morning my main task is to find and internet connection that works, as the one in our hotel is useless.

Super Rugby bosses are considering splitting their three-conference system into two from 2016 and adding two teams from Argentina.
Super Rugby bosses are considering splitting the current three-conference system into two from 2016 and adding two teams from Argentina.
Under a possible Super 18 concept which appears the most logical future competition, Australian and New Zealand sides would combine in their own conference while South Africa and Argentina would join to form a separate conference.
Leading administrator also revealed there is the possibility of Japanese teams being added in three years' time, but there is lots of work to be done.
Super Rugby expansion is certain to occur after the 2015 World Cup with governing body SANZAR committed to ensuring the recently-relegated Southern Kings will be one of six South African teams.
While SANZAR, which aims to finalise its next model by the end of 2013, has plenty to consider before deciding upon its preferred concept, the three-conference system appears to be coming to an end.
SANZAR CEO Greg Peters said the time-frame for the tournament – currently played over 21 weeks, including three weeks for play-offs – could not be extended.
That makes it virtually impossible to keep the current structure if new teams are added as the Australian, New Zealand and South African rugby unions want their local derby matches to be played at home and away.
With the rigours of travel to and from South Africa combining to make player welfare a bigger issue, the simplest solution is for a two-conference split.
That would see the five Australian sides playing each other twice and the five Ne Zealand teams once for 13 matches before both conferences came together in a six or eight-team play-offs series.
AustralianRugby Union chief Bill Pulver, who is also on SANZAR's executive committee, said the ARU had not decided on its preferred model but stressed the five Australian teams would remain.
"We're trying to keep a very open mind to what this structure looks like," he told AAP.
It is more likely two new Argentinian franchises, rather than one, would be added to what would become an eight-team South African/American conference.
That scenario would allow all teams to play home and away over 14 rounds.
The heavy political pressure for South Africa to have six teams only intensified when the Port Elizabeth-based Kings lost a closely-fought two-match relegation/promotion play-off with the Johannesburg-based Lions last weekend.
"We really understand the desire for that from South Africa," Peters said.
"The Kings have 32 per cent of the playing population and 72 per cent of that is coloured.
"We understand the need for six teams in South Africa."
While there are massive commercial benefits with the inclusion of Japan before it hosts the 2019 World Cup, there are logistical problems in fitting them into the Australasian conference.
SANZAR and the ARU are both pushing for the June international window to be moved to July to ensure Super Rugby can be played in one complete block instead of being interrupted for Test matches before the play-offs.

John J. Castellani
PhRMA President and CEO
delivered these remarks at the
N.Y. Bio Annual Meeting
Thursday, April 7, 2011
Thank you for that kind introduction and thanks to Kadmon Pharmaceuticals for sponsoring this lunch.
Kadmon, like so many of the companies here today, is working on the frontiers of the biopharmaceutical sciences and applying the latest science and technology and knowledge about biology and genetics to solving some of the toughest problems we face. You are changing how we approach disease and expanding the potential solutions for patients.
The biopharmaceutical research sector is still a relatively young and still figuring out the right business models needed to succeed. It is still proving itself every day to patients, to investors, to policy makers and regulators.
And, while not every venture will succeed, every venture – even the failures – teaches us things that can make another business or research program successful.
That is how good science works. It is also how good business works.
Many of you are understandably focused on your individual companies and its potential. But I know that you are also all very aware of the business and economic environment in which you operate.
More to the point, I am certain that you each understand both what policies and regulations can do to help your companies grow – and that help may be as simple as staying out of your way – to what policies and regulations can do to stifle your enterprises
And so, what I want to talk about today is PhRMA's innovation agenda and how we support, build and change policies and the economic environment in which we operate.
But before detailing some of the practical, structural and economic challenges the sector faces, let me first address the atmospheric challenges we face with two quick stories.
The first may be well known to some of you. Back in 1898, there was a commissioner of the U.S. Patent Office named Charles Duell. He likely would be little remembered today save for one thing he said. Four years before the Wright brother's flight at Kitty Hawk, three years after Henry Ford pieced together his first automobile in his garage in Dearborn, Michigan, and two years after Marconi sent the first wireless broadcast over the ocean, Mr. Duell had the profound insight that: "everything that can be invented has been invented."
I like the quote not merely for its obtuseness but also because of its smug complacency.
But I revive Mr. Duell from well-deserved obscurity because when it comes to medicines and health care, I fear there exists – if not as outrageously expressed – a similar complacency.
By this I mean that there's been enormous medical progress in the last 50 years. People are living longer and healthier lives. Many once deadly diseases like heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, HIV/AIDS can now be managed as chronic conditions.
Yet, with the exception of patients and the visionary scientists in our industry, too often policy makers seemly subscribe to an unfortunate belief that the medicines we have today are good enough.
It is short-term thinking. Because a health care system founded on the status-quo of generic medicines simply isn't good enough.
Policy makers must understand what patients confronting not only heart disease, stroke, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, cancer and other conditions already know: More must and can be done.
In short, everything that can be invented has, of course, not been invented. We've a long way to go in the fight against many common conditions and as well as a rare diseases.
Now, the other story I want to share occurred just the other day. I was at the Washington Economic Club luncheon where so-called movers and shakers talk about the issues of the day.
The speaker was Jeff Immelt, General Electric's CEO. One thing he said struck me. He said that for GE to be successful over the long-term, it had to invest more than 5% of its gross revenues into new research and development. He was proud that GE was making this investment and certain that it could lead to significant innovation and new products.
Not to take anything away from Mr. Immelt or GE's accomplishment, but I thought to myself: PhRMA member companies, on average, invest about 19 or 20 percent of revenues annual on R&D.
The point is that no industry or sector in the U.S. invests as much in the future as this industry does. Close second isn't even close. Sadly, we don't seem to get much credit for this effort.
But how this industry invests, its commitment to the future, to patients, to jobs and to the communities where we operate makes it a national resource.
It is something we all need to understand and also repeat again and again when talking with patients, policy makers, the public and the media.
So, with that, let me talk broadly about some of the structural and economic challenges we face and PhRMA's innovation agenda to address these issues.
It is increasingly clear to me – as it is to many industry observers – that America's biopharmaceutical sector is at a crossroads. Where we end up depends entirely on decisions now being made by companies as well as by the increasing number of stakeholders in our health care system
I think it is fair to say, that we all start from a place where the decisions being made need to recognize that health care today is nearly one fifth of United States' GDP. This means that medicines – especially innovative medicines – can and must play a big role in solving the health care challenges ahead.
The big question is can this industry adapt to a changing scientific, technological, regulatory and economic environment in order to maintain U.S. leadership in medical innovation?
The answer is not yet clear and the stakes are high. But I think that the fact that the stakes are so high works in PhRMA's and the biopharmaceutical industry's favor. It means, for example, that PhRMA's strategy for coping with market change is now highly focused and thus easy to explain.
To begin with, PhRMA's 45 members represent the single biggest driver of innovation in the U.S.'s healthcare system.
They develop both life-enhancing medicines and also, increasingly, services and processes that achieve four critical ends:
- Enhance healthcare quality;
- Increase patient access to medicines they need;
- Save money and help to control health care costs; and
- Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of many complimentary technologies.
For these reasons, PhRMA's priority is to make the innovation case to our stakeholders – patients and health care workers, policy makers and planners, the media, the labor and business community.
Specifically, we must better communicate how innovation fits into the broader economic cycle.
Every one here understands that you cannot escape the economic cycle. When demand for medicines is down in a poor economy, it has a short-term impact on resources available for innovation.
But what is notable about this industry is that even in a difficult economy, it invests for the future. Our members continue investing in new R&D -- just as they have done over the last thirty years. These commitments, by the way, far exceed the annual budget of the entire National Institutes of Health.
But what is also critical to explain is that few other industries have such long lead times in how they spend money and their expectations for results
This means that our stakeholders, policy makers and planners need a longer view when thinking about the role this industry can play in helping to solve the health care challenges ahead.
Let me cite just one example of where a long-term view is needed.
A new report from the Alzheimer's Association found that on our current trajectory, Alzheimer's disease in adults over 65 will cost $1 trillion per year by 2050 and a total of $20 trillion over the next 40 years. Today, there are no treatments and even diagnosing the disease is difficult.
However, the Alzheimer's Association projects that a new treatment that helps delay onset of the disease by 5 years could both reduce the growth of new cases by 43 percent and save $447 billion a year by 2050.
Clearly, there are significant national and global health care and economic implications of the disease.
But one thing seems certain: Innovation is the only way to solve the Alzheimer's challenge. This means creating an economic and policy environment that rewards innovation, rewards investment and rewards risk taking.
We must also better communicate about the changes taking place in science.
The science is complex and medical innovation is a costly proposition.
Many of you are already familiar with the bottom line. Bringing a potential new medicine from the laboratory all the way through to FDA approval for patient use takes, on average, between 10 to 15 years and can cost around $1.3 billion.
The investment risks are enormous. Only about five of every 10,000 compounds explored as a potential new medicine makes it all the way to clinical trials with patients and is submitted for FDA approval for patient use. And, even after that, we know that only two to three out of every 10 approved medicines ever make their investment back.
Most importantly, success is not predetermined. Policy makers must recognize that the processes of discovery and development is hard to institutionalize on a standard organization chart. Capturing the assets derived from good science requires a different, far more flexible, network and open ended model for organizing the business.
It also requires that policy makers and regulators understand the special challenges of fostering innovative science-based industries.
This is no small problem.
The astronomer Carl Sagan once said: "We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology."
This rings especially true for the biopharmaceutical research sector. Too many policy makers have only a surface understanding of the science, the business models and the benefits that can flow from biopharmaceutical research.
And, I fear many compartmentalize that understanding. By this I mean that they see efforts to foster the biopharmaceutical research sector in small pieces -- changing a tax policy here, amending a zoning regulation there and maybe throwing-in some seed funding and grants.
Certainly, these can and do help lay the foundation for short- and long-term success. But it is the rare policy maker who sees further than a year or two down the line.
What we know, and what we must do a better job of explaining is that this is not how the science works. Nor is it how the biotechnology research business works.
As I see it, innovation is shaped equally by three contending socioeconomic forces: the patients desire for accessible and affordable healthcare; government payers seeking more fiscal responsibility; and investors seeking to maximize their return on investment.
While too often these forces seem at odds with each other, I believe that in this case these three objectives actually complement each other. This means that companies have to be smarter and more efficient in the way they manage drug development and discovery because there is no longer one fixed way to achieve pipeline success.
This also means that PhRMA must be a voice for the science of discovery.
The scientists in our industry must mobilize to help shape the policy and regulatory environments where innovation takes place.
Drug regulation is one example of where there is a growing need for greater understanding of the science and the process. The regulatory process is no longer a technical sidebar for a few industry specialists. It is a strategic priority that done right can reduce time, cost and uncertainty in drug development.
In addition, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry must be seen for what it is: a key to meeting patient needs and expectations that is also playing an increasingly important role in our national economy.
First, there is the research itself. This industry is one of the most research intensive industries in the United States with companies investing five times more in research and development, relative to sales, than the average manufacturing firm.
Tow weeks ago, in fact, PhRMA announced new R&D investment numbers that show that despite the difficult economy, industry R&D investments continued to rise
In 2010, America's biopharmaceutical companies:
- Invested an estimated – and record – $67.4 billion, up from $65.9 billion in 2009;
- PhRMA member companies directly invested an estimated $49.4 billion, an increase of $3 billion over 2009; and
- U.S 2010 R&D spending was 20.5 percent of U.S. sales – which means that R&D investment continued at a level that is consistent with where the average has been in recent years at around 19%.
Let me remind you again that GE's Jeff Immelt said that GE was investing 5% of sales in R&D and how critical he viewed that investment to GE's long-term success.
But we must also recognize that the industry's approach to R&D is evolving. In addition to traditional in-house research, PhRMA member companies are increasingly supporting new R&D through the use of instruments like corporate venture capital funds, licensing agreements with other companies, and partnerships with academic institutions.
Second, in addition to R&D, the industry is an engine for economic development – in other words: jobs.
Biopharmaceutical companies today employ nearly 650,000 Americans. Each of these jobs helps to create an additional three indirect and induced jobs economy-wide. This accounts for over 3 million jobs in this country, 2.4 million of which are in other sectors.
Here in New York, this means nearly 50,000 direct jobs and an additional 152,000 indirect and induced jobs – a total of over 200,000 jobs. These are jobs that build and grow strong communities just as the technology builds and grows new businesses and industry.
It seems obvious to me that any national strategy to grow the economy and create jobs must see the biopharmaceutical research sector as an engine for this effort.
Third, policy makers also need to understand that America's biopharmaceutical research predominance is no longer a given.
Currently, there are still some significant advantages to doing R&D in the U.S. As a result, more medicines are in development here than anywhere else in the world. U.S. companies hold the intellectual property rights to the majority of new medicines and 80% of the world's biotech R&D is currently conducted by U.S. firms.
But global competition is increasing and R&D investment will flow to countries that appropriately reward risk-taking. Other countries are racing to build successful biopharmaceutical research sectors and attract research now done in the U.S.
Countries with fast-growing economies are working hard to compete and attract the sector, along with the good jobs and economic impact it brings.
The biotechnology sector was one of five sectors the Chinese government identified as key to its future economic growth. The Indian government has pledged to develop more than 20 biotech parks and committed more than $1.7 billion to grow the sector. And Singapore's vision is to be "bioplois" of Asia, an international science cluster aimed at advancing human health.
The larger point is that the benefits that a strong, innovative biopharmaceutical research sector brings to patients and the U.S. economy can be lost to competition, over-regulation and a failure to take a long-term view.
Now, I've talked broadly about the challenges we confront as well as what PhRMA is doing to enhance and improve the economic and innovation environment. Let me turn now to some of the issues on the immediate horizon.
First, the big, on-going challenge we face is the issue of reimbursement.
It is the issue that ultimately binds all of our issues together. Reimbursement, for example, is central to the four points I noted earlier that are central to PhRMA's mission.
Reimbursement also drives the fundamental questions we face in American healthcare: How to establish value in the delivery of healthcare, and in the case of this industry, by giving providers the flexibility and access in prescribing medicines that leads to the best outcomes for patients?
We have not as a society resolved this question, despite the fact that the U.S. today, for example, faces a tidal wave of chronic disease.
And that leads to the second issue, the fight against chronic diseases.
Raising awareness of the cost and impact of chronic disease on both patients and the economy is an over-arching priority for PhRMA and this industry.
A simple statistic says it all: drugs currently constitute only a little more than 10 percent of total health spending, yet account for upwards of 40 percent of what the average patient has to spend out of pocket for healthcare each year. In practice, this means that patients will be driven to rely on acute care services that seemingly cost less than more effective medicines.
Unfortunately, the way the reimbursement system works, the incentive is to pay for a diabetic's amputation rather than the insulin that would prevent it. There is currently no margin for investments in prevention and wellness. This hurts us and the economy because medicines are often the first line of treatment in any strategy to help a patient avoid acute care and institutionalized interventions that annually cost our system billions of dollars.
Our goal is to turn this debate about costs on its head. Stakeholders and policy makes simply must think more logically about our reimbursement system.
We have a number of initiatives under way designed to both raise awareness and seek common-ground on common-sense solutions.
Next, there is the on-going issue of healthcare reform.
PhRMA continues to support all Americans having access to high-quality and affordable healthcare coverage, services and treatments. Just how we get there is what is being debated right now.
I think that most Americans recognize that the healthcare reform law is not perfect and can be improved. Certainly there are disagreements on how and policy makers have the difficult job of trying to navigate through some tough waters and to do what they believe is best for the future of healthcare in the U.S.
One provision in the law that continues to concern members of Congress on both sides of the aisle – as well as a broad array of healthcare stakeholders – is the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). This board will be in charge of slashing Medicare spending, which could result in access restrictions for millions of seniors. Since the law was enacted, we have said that this provision should be repealed so that seniors don't have to face cuts to important medical services and treatments.
Fourth, in light of our renewed focus on regulatory issues, we will be spending a lot of time in the next year on the reauthorization of PDUFA – the Prescription Drug User Fee Act.
PDUFA reauthorization provides us with a great opportunity to enhance the regulatory system and, improve the science and technological expertise needed to review medicines. We must also use the opportunity to look for greater efficiencies to help move innovative medicines and treatments through review and on to approval for patient use. We are nearing the end of the beginning and hope to review an agreement next week.
Let me conclude by again reflecting on the over-arching challenges the industry faces and how it is responding.
At the same time that the costs and risks of R&D continue to escalate, market pressures are also increasing. For example, powerful purchasers of healthcare services have successfully used a range of tools such as formularies, prior authorizations and tiered co-pays in order to drive nearly all uses of medicines to generic drugs or preferred brand medicines. Indeed, generic utilization in this country is now around 75 percent and growing.
Further, competition with generics is now occurring earlier in a product's life cycle. While generic copies are an important part of balancing innovation and affordability, it is important to note that it is only because an innovator developed a new medicine that it later available in a generic form.
But even in the face of these mounting economic pressures, the industry continues to respond by investing in the future.
- Today, there are more than 3,000 medicines in clinical trials or before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and under review for patient use – an increase from 2,400 in 2005.
- Medicines in development for rare disease have rapidly increased from 303 in 2007 to 460 today.
- There are currently more than 800 drugs in development for cancer and 300 for heart disease and stroke – the three leading causes of premature death in the United States.
Facts like these underscore the real strengths of the biopharmaceutical research sector. They also demonstrate the continuing contribution this industry makes to improving patient health and to improving the economy.
Finally, they paint the picture of an industry that is meeting not only its immediate challenges – both domestic and global – but also an industry with a vision for long-term growth and success.
So where does that leave us?
As I said earlier, we are at a crossroads.
Will we choose policies that help us re-imagine a reimbursement system that better measures the value of healthcare services, puts meeting patients' needs first and better recognizes medical innovation?
Will we embrace a 21st Century regulatory system that marshals the latest, best science, scientist and technology to help protect patients, provide the greatest possible medical choices and fosters the emergence of new technologies like genetic and more personalized medicines?
Will we strengthen the economic rewards and incentives that have both helped to promote investment and that have made this country the global leader in biopharmaceutical research?
Or, alternatively, will we choose – and it is a choice – to change our frame of reference about innovation and health care, and view the medicines we have as good enough and our health care delivery system as little more than a public utility?
The answer, I hope, is obvious.
Public utilities work. They meet many basic needs and do so reasonably well. But they are not innovative or transformative institutions. And, ask yourself this: when was the last time you walked into a post office and said: "ah, that's what the future looks like?"
But the patients we serve and who wait and hope for a better treatment or even a cure deserve our best efforts. They deserve the best that our science and our efforts can deliver. That means a robust, competitive biopharmaceutical research sector that pushes the bounds of science and medicine in the search for new answers.
And our task – both in our enterprises and in our public advocacy – is not just to see the future but "to enable it."
Thank you very much.

Picture Books
There might be something amiss in my cognitive development as it seems that from my years of being a toddler until now, my favorite books to read are those with pictures in them. One has been getting me quite inspired as of late: 100 Years of Menswear by Cally Blackman. I particularly enjoyed the pages on the years around the early 20th century—forward thinking as we all strive to be today, it is always good practice to master the classics.
The book got me pondering on the question "What is progressive?" Comme des Garcons constantly references old old menswear and tweaks the proportions to their signature delightful unflattery, and, top of mind, Balenciaga womenswear Fall 2007, a collection that I found strikingly progressive and conceptual, was in essence a mishmash of references from the past: striped tennis blazers, military jodphurs, all topped off with then-controversial Arabic scarves. If you think about it, what boldness did the trendsetters of yesteryears have, without any trend-dictating fashion houses available to men, these guys had merely ideas of how they wanted to dress, and they would come to their tailors telling them to do this and that, starting a revolution wearing their new duds on the street. Now that's progressive.
The book elaborates on the classic male archetypes—the aristocrat, the working man, the student, the athlete, the artist—and how each of these have had an imprint on what it is to be a man today and how they have influenced what we wear.

Around the league - Dec 10, 2009
Jason Gregor
December 10 2009 02:33PM
It is amazing how players get a reputation, positively or negatively, and how it sticks with them; in many cases for longer than it should. I'm not talking just about how the fans look at a player, but also how coaches and management view their own player.
One area where coaches struggle the most in getting a clear picture of a player is in the shootout. I understand why a coach wants to put his most skilled player in the shootout, but in many cases the results don't support that decision.
Since the inception of the shootout in 2005/06, Jussi Jokinen has scored the most goals (26) and rightfully so — he has had the most opportunities with 47 attempts. Vyacheslav Kozlov has scored 24 times in 43 attempts. The other players with at least 20 shootout goals include Ales Kotalik, 21 goals in 39 shootouts, Pavel Datsyuk, 21 in 41 shots and Zach Parise buried 20 goals on 42 attempts.
Only Datsyuk and Parise would be considered top-end scorers.
Some of the best snipers haven't been able to master the shootout. Alex Ovechkin only has 12 goals in 42 tries. Ryan Getzlaf has 13 in 40 attempts, Rick Nash 15 in 41, Vinny Lecavalier 12 in 40, Jarome Iginla 7 in 28 and two snipers who are only 20 per cent are Evgeni Malkin, 5 of 25 and Tomas Vanek 6 of 30.
Sidney Crosby is a perfect four-for-four this year, but that still only puts him at 16 of 42.
I understand why a coach wants to reward those guys, because they have likely scored a key goal to get the game to a shootout, but the stats prove that they are more likely to cost their team an extra point once the shootout starts.
While Flames fans have watched in dismay as Iginla gets turned away regularly, they aren't alone. Daniel Sedin is a woeful three for 16 in his career, Alex Burrows is one for seven, Mason Raymond one for five and some how Alain Vigneault continues to use defenceman, Alex Edler, even though he has only scored twice in nine attempts.
Vigneault's problem is the Canucks don't have anyone he can rely on. Ryan Kesler is his best bet at six of 19 or Kyle Wellwood at five of 16, although neither is better than 31 per cent. Pavel Demitra would be an obvious choice with 13 goals in 30 shots, but he has yet to play this season. The next time the Canucks go to a shootout Vigneault should use Mathieu Schnieder who is two for three in his career.
Up until Monday, Pat Quinn was convinced that Sam Gagner needed to be in the shootout. Gagner had some highlight reel goals as a rookie in 2007/08, but he only scored five times in 17 attempts. Last year he was three for eight, before missing on all five attempts this season. He is eight for 30 in his career, and clearly shouldn't be in the top-three anytime soon.
Another guy who shouldn't be going regularly for the Oilers, even though he is their most skilled forward is Ales Hemsky. Hemsky has taken the second most attempts in the league, 46, but he only has 16 goals good for 34.8 percent.
I said it on my radio show on Monday that the three Oilers who should be shooting are Patrick O'Sullivan, Robert Nilsson and Shawn Horcoff. After Monday's SO win over Florida O'Sullivan is 12 for 26, Nilsson is eight for 16 and Shawn Horcoff is seven for 11.
Horcoff has the best percentage, 63.6% of any NHL player who has shot more than ten times, and five of his seven goals have been deciding goals.
Horcoff isn't fancy in the shootout, and normally he either shoots five-hole or makes a deke through the five-hole, but he is successful. Many fans still think Gagner is the guy, because of the sick moves he used his first year, and it seems that the Oilers believed the same until Monday.
It isn't a knock on a player that he doesn't excel in the shootout, because many of the true snipers don't. The extra point might be the difference in making the playoffs or missing by a point or two, and coaches are going to have to start playing the odds rather than going with their best player, or the player they think is their best option.
Here is Megan, in her second season as a Tampa Bay Lighting girl. Is it just me or is she sporting a bit of a '50s look with the big hair. I don't mind retro now and then.
If you want to learn more about Megan and the rest of the Lightning Women click here and you can click on each of them and hear their riveting stories.
- Does being the GM of Canada's World Hockey Championship Team really get a guy prepared to be a GM in the NHL? Won't Mark Messier become more of a recruiter than a GM? He has no salary cap to worry about, he gets to pick from the best players available and if one says no, he just goes down the list. I'm not sold that being the GM for Canada prepares a guy for being an NHL GM. He will scout and look at players to see who he likes, but I don't see many similarities to being a regular NHL GM.
- I wrote it a few weeks ago that John Stevens was on a short leash, and I think Randy Carlyle is precariously close to walking the plank as well. The Ducks are in basement of the Western conference, yet they have loads of top-end talent. Carlyle is a demanding coach with a caustic attitude and I'm hearing some of his players have tuned him out. Barring a four or five game winning streak I think he'll be gone before Christmas, which is never a good PR move for a team.
- Dustin Penner has played great, but come on people he shouldn't be considered for the Olympic team because of a solid 30 game stretch. Oiler fans should hope he doesn't make it so he will be rested for their annual scramble to the playoffs.
- Is it a coincidence that seven of the top scorers in the league are Canadian in a year where Canada hosts the Olympics? This is a one-in-a-lifetime-opportunity for these players and many are playing with that in mind. For my money Corey Perry should be a lock to make the team. He can score and is a jerk to play against.
- I'd take Patrick Marleau over Brad Richards if it came down to it.
- Does anyone think Patrice Bergeron really has a shot to make the team? I don't.
- I can't stand broadcasters who are too homerish. Roger Millions honestly thinks that Mikka Kiprusoff should be the leading candidate for the Vezina? Yes, he has played well, but Ryan Miller has clearly been better. Miller has a 1.82 GAA and .938 SV% compared to Kiprusoff's 2.16 GAA and .927 SV%. Both are averaging 29 shots per game. Ilya Brysgalov is close too with a sick 1.99 GAA and .925 SV % on a team that relies on him more than Flames do Kiprusoff.
- Steve Downie might be an ass of a person, but he knows his role and along with Zenon Konopka they give Tampa Bay two very good disturbers. Konopka in an undersized heavyweight, but he understands his role and plays it very well.
- The Canucks play 17 of their next 23 at home. If they don't have at least a five or six point lead over non-playoff teams come Jan 30th I don't see them making the playoffs. Their 14 game road trip –split up by the Olympic break- is not the place to be making up ground for a playoff spot. I doubt the Canucks love the idea of being away from home for over a month.
Here are the top ten in pts, goals, assists and other stats.
21: Marian Gaborik
20: Sidney Crosby (eight goals in his last four games), Patrick Marleau and Alex Ovechkin
19: Dany Heatley
17: Jarome Iginla, Dustin Penner, Steven Stamkos and Mike Cammalleri.
16: Ryan Malone and Ilya Kovalchuk
*** Cammalleri had five goals in three games this week, and he has nine goals in his last ten games.***
35: Joe Thornton
30: Ryan Getzlaf
27: Tomas Kaberle
26: Brad Richards and Martin St. Louis
25: Nicklas Backstrom, Tomas Plekanec and Mike Green
24: Paul Stastny
22: Henrik Sedin
42: Thornton
39: Gaborik
37: Crosby
36: Anze Kopitar, Perry, Getzlaf and H. Sedin
35: Brad Richards
34: Marleau, Heatley and Zach Parise
***Kopitar has three points in three weeks without Ryan Smyth***
+18: Parise
+16: Christian Ehrhoff,
+15: Travis Zajac
+14: Jay Bouwmeester
+13: Ryan O'Reilly, Pavel Kubina, Ovechkin, Wayne Simmonds, Matt Carle, Brendan Morrison and Jeff Schultz.
*** Rod Brind'Amour still leads for the Green Jacket with a whopping -19. Martin Havlat isn't living up to his big contract in Minny with -17 and two goals. Robert Nilsson was +5 this week to improve to -7 on the season. ***
PP Goals:
Nine: Heatley aned Gaborik
Eight: John Tavares (had four goals this week and all on the PP).
Seven: Andrew Brunette, Teemu Selanne and Steven Stamkos
Six: Kovalchuk, Milan Hejduk, Scott Hartnell, Mike Richards, Rich Peverly, Tomas Holmstrom, Mike Fisher and Brooks Laich
***I think Mike Fisher is going to get a long look from Steve Yzerman and the rest of Team Canada management. He is a great two-way player.***
110: Stephane Robidas
109: Ryan Callahan and Dustin Brown
103: Cal Clutterbuck
102: Matt Greene
97: Ryan Malone
96: J.F Jacques
95: Scott Nichol
91: Brooks Orpik
90: David Backes, Brendan Morrow and Chris Neil
130: Parise
126: Ovechkin
124: Jeff Carter
123: Henrik Zetterberg
120: Rick Nash
112: Dustin Brown
108: Vincent Lecavalier
107: Crosby and Perry
106: Cammalleri and B. Richards
Strange stat of the week…The Penguins' PP is 26.8% without Crosby and only 17.7% with him. I doubt Dan Bylsma will start using Crosby less on the PP. It is a quirky stat right now, but I'd bet it reverses by season's end.
Only one forward is in the top 90 in blocked shots. Canucks forward Ryan Johnson has 39 blocks which puts him 87th.
Jeff Carter is 3rd in the league in shots, but he leads in missed shots with a staggering 65. He has more missed shots than these guys have actual shots, Nathan Horton, Brian Gionta, Joe Thornton, H.Sedin, Maxim Afinogenov, Kristian Huselius, Scott Gomez and Sam Gagner to name a few. I wonder how many goals Carter would have if he actually hit the net more often? He misses the net one out of every three shots. Ouch.

I agree with all your random thoughts, but your ice women is weak this week. Hair throws me off.
And not only is Messier the wrong guy but having Gretzky could potentially make the two of them look like idiots.
December 10 2009, 02:54PM
Smyth driving the net and going wide on the right side really forces players back into their own goalie. Kopitar has a lot of skill; more than Hmesky and he's bigger too. Smyth did this for Edmonton and this is why Hemmer was a much more potent force in the two years prior to his departure. He had room because the two defenders were trying to protect their goalie and gather rebounds. Penner is starting to figure this out now too. Gagner is going to have a lot of time to make passes and dangle this season now that Penner isn't afraid to go into the trouble zone.
Pretty sure the ice woman this week is wearing a Bumpit. #fail.
Did anyone even know that Henrik Sedin was in the top 20 for scoring... let alone tied for 4th overall?! And he's a +8. I know that people in Vancouver either love or hate the Twins, but statistically they have to be two of the most underrated players in the league.
If only the rest of the Canucks were playing HALF as well as Hank.

By 'weak' you mean 'has too many clothes? I concur.
December 10 2009, 02:56PM
At first I didn't really like the ice woman of the week either...then I figured she looked like a Texan and a screamer and my opinion changed (but not because of the Texan thing)

AND it looks like they Photoshopped Howdy Doody's mouth on her. Nobody has teeth that white.
Nice Hawker Typhoon!
Re: The Penguins PP
Perhaps the trend is logical; since the Boy Wonder is on the top PP unit with Malkin, opposing teams would logically put their four strongest defenders on the ice against that unit. Pitt has depth, though, and their second PP unit is usually nothing to sneeze at either. That leaves the Pitt second unit with ample opportunity to play against either a tired opposing PK if they can't get off the ice or lesser defenders if the change occurs.
Of course, I can't specifically name the members of the second unit; with injuries to Malkin, Gonchar, and Kennedy and with Rupp in and out of the mix, the unit hasn't been very stable. The idea, though, is that whoever is in there is still a decent group of guys.
The biggest reason, though, why the PP numbers appear to favour having Crosby off the ice is simply that the Penguin's PP has sucked hard as a whole all year. NHL.com lists their percentage through 31 games at only 14%, good for last in the league if not for St. Louis. Since scoring a PP goal at all is almost an anomoly in itself, it's easy to get a skewed trend on the few pucks that do manage to find their way into the net. How a group that consists of Crosby, Malkin, Gonchar, Kunitz, and [insert rotating PP hopeful here] can be so woeful when they outnumber the opposition is a little baffling, but with the numbers they are currently posting it's little wonder that the second unit is winning the scoring race; the Golden Bears would have a shot at winning that race the way Crosby and Co. are currently performing.
Like Gregor, I figure it can't last. Crosby/Malkin aren't that bad, and even against the other team's top four they should be able to score more than they have been.

@ Jason Gregor:
I'm largely in agreement with the Random Thoughts, although I think the Canucks get a Demitra bump and make the playoffs.
Oh, and I'd take Richards over Marleau, who never hit the 60-point mark before Thornton came to San Jose.
I'm not sure why you're getting so much flack for the ice woman, though.
And of course you're bang-on about shootout players.
Nice to see Lurleen Lumpkin land a gig with the Lightning...

She's photoshopped, for sure. Teeth are too white and the skin is a little too flat to be natural. She's very pretty, though.
December 10 2009, 04:15PM
I don't think it is bad for Messier to be there, in fact he will be fine in that role, because he will be able to rally guys to want to go over and play.
My point was it won't prepare him to be an NHL GM.
Any why would having Gretz as the coach make them look like idiots. Gretzky improved a lot as a coach. I think he will go for sure, and I bet MacTavish will be an assistant on the staff.
Isn't MacT coaching the Spengler Cup???
I think Messier and Gretz will do fine as well, like you said, it's the best players picked off a list with no cap.
I think the ice girl is hot! I just want to see more of her...

So I guess Penner isn't going then?

Nah, just means if Canada loses, Penner will be blamed.

Roger Millions isnt a homer, hes a complete and total idiot or a ventriloquist dummy that got its wish to be a real boy, not sure which. Doesnt matter, hes just a talking head for the brains of the flames operation.... and yes I am aware thats an oxymoron.
I think the ice girl is hot! I just want to see more of her...
Just click on the link in Gregor's article.
*Doing his best Quagmire imitation*
ALLLL-RIGHHHHT!!!! Giggity giggity.
Is it just me or has anybody else noticed that Gagner's shootout moves lack a little dazzle these days. In his first year, he would deke about 500 times and more importantly he would score. To my eye, he seems to deke less...and perhaps consequently score less as well?
December 11 2009, 07:48AM
@ Rogue, sorry dude but that is a Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX. It is bit of a hobby of mine so feel I had to correct you.
Anyway I am very impressed with the Oil as of late and totally enjoying the games.
JG I agree that a Team Canada GM position is not training for an NHL GM spot. Also, sorry to the Penner supporters but he should not be on the list. There are too many other player they have to choose from. If he does make it great but I am not going ot bet the farm.
Good read JG, as usual.
Wouldn't it be funny to see MacT make Penner a healthy scratch at the Worlds!!!!
I agree, Ice women is weak, although still better than at RX1.
Gretz to me is one of these types of people that is so driven to succeed that he refuses to suck at anything. I think he'll go we'll win and he will end up back in the NHL at some capacity. Great players are great for more than skill, there is that competitive fire deep inside that drives them to win at anything.
I used to look forward to "Ice Women of The Week," what a huge letdown. This is comparable to missing the playoffs three straight years. If the Big Sexy wouldn't touch it, it shouldn't make the grade.
Damn, not only did my wife leave me but I am wrong on the plane. Oh well, 1 out of 2 ain't bad!
December 11 2009, 10:31AM
@Jason Gregor
Weren't you the one that mentioned pulling Gagner in favour of someone else?
Gagner has sick moves but I think we are seeing that shooters score more than guys that like to make moves, look at the goals scored in the shoot out most of them are shots.
Nice Hawker Typhoon!
Supermarine Spitfire Mk 9
@Jason Gregor
I have been one of the biggest Penner supporters over the past few years (you can verify that JG) and while I don't think he will get much consideration for the Olympic team - I think a strong argument can be made for him to be there.
If the Olympic management team wants to pick a roster based on guys that are playing well now (rather than past accomplishments) and guys that seem to be elevating their game when they need to; Penner is a prime candidate.
I would be hardpressed to find 8 Canadian wingers that have been as consistent and as dominant (shift by shift) as Penner has this year.
He has a a few intangible things that some of the other scorer leaders don't have (size and PP presence). I watch this guy take the puck to the net with as much tenacity as any other wingers in the game right now.
His foot speed is no longer an issue and his effort level has not tailed off at all.
Again, realistically he has NO chance - but it's nice to dream...

Ya'll might think I'm ghetto or what not, but here's what I'm about to do. My car is parked downstairs. I got a half a gallon of Palmolive dishwashing soap and I'm waiting till about 6 PM to go soap my car up so when Irene hits, that shit will make my car look brand new.

Funny you said that. My car got shitted on by some bird 2 days ago. Knowing we would get plenty of rain, i just ride around with the shit on the car. My car is clean now.
