Crews are still working to remove a hive on Tucson's northwest side where at least a dozen people were reportedly stung and two were sent to the hospital.
The initial plan was to try to save and relocate the estimated 50,000 killer bees at a home in the 5000 block of West Blackbird Drive near West Linda Vista Boulevard and North Bald Eagle Avenue.
"Before we even got a chance to open the hive, they mounted a full-scale bee attack," said Greg Denker with American Bee Control. "The veil I was wearing was totally covered with bees. (I was) unable to see."
Experts call this one of the most aggressive swarms they've ever seen. Denker says it's the worst one he's seen, and he's been working in this business since 1968.
"This particular colony, on a scale of one to five, this one is a five," Denker said. "Highly aggressive (and) perfectly willing to sting by the thousands."
This story did sting. Our Tucson News Now photographer's arm was stung after his brave attempt to shoot the hive.
The bees went after everyone: news crews, the mailman and even firefighters. Four of them were stung today, including Capt. Adam Goldberg with the Northwest Fire District.
"It's a sharp quick buzz [and] you know you've been stung," Goldberg said.
A 62-year old woman and her son who live next door were taken to the hospital with more than 50 stings each. They are stable tonight. The woman declined to go on camera, but told Tucson News Now, they were both allergic to bees, and were on a lot of antibiotics.
Many neighbors said they had noticed a large presence of bees in the neighborhood, and it made some of them uneasy.
"We didn't realize this hive was so close. It's insane. They're all around us right now," said Gary Bartell, who daughter was also stung by a bee while walking to the school bus stop on Thursday morning.

Helena Bonham Carter has mixed feelings about her performance in "Les Misérables," as she expected her voice to sound "so much better and bigger" in the movie musical.
The eccentric Brit underwent intense vocal lessons to prepare for her role as pickpocketing Madame Thenardier, and sang live in director Tom Hooper's big-screen adaptation of the beloved Broadway show.
Bing: Bonham Carter on the red carpet
But the actress was let down by her turn in "Les Misérables" and is convinced she sounded better in the 2007 musical "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" because technicians boosted her vocals.
"I had lots of vocal training for 'Les Mis,' but I didn't improve as much as I thought I would. I watched it and thought ... I was going to be so much better, I thought my voice was going to be so much bigger," she told the Daily Mail. "I practiced and practiced and practiced, but the thing with 'Les Mis' is that it was real, so that's what we sounded like. In 'Sweeney' I had people making me sound better than I am, but not for this."
Said Bonham Carter: "It's quite daunting because you've got 50 people watching you, filming you and you've just got this thing in your ear with the tune and you're the only one singing. And it just feels weird."
The actress also ruled out ever starring in a live musical, adding, "I would do another singing (film) role if someone else was foolish enough to employ me, but I wouldn't do a stage musical. I don't have a strong enough voice. Maybe for one night, but with singing it's like any muscle, it doesn't last."

Steakhouse syndrome is a condition in which a mass of food (called a bolus) becomes stuck in the lower part of the esophagus. The esophagus is the muscular tube that carries food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This condition happens when a mass of food, usually meat, blocks the passageway of the esophagus.
Risk factors include:
Symptoms may include:
These symptoms may be due to other conditions. If you have any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor.
Your doctor will:
If the bolus does not pass into the stomach on its own, your doctor may consider treatment, such as:
If the bolus still does not pass or you are not able to swallow your saliva, the doctor may need to remove it from your esophagus. They will use an endoscope to locate the bolus. Once the bolus has been found, tools (such as snares, forceps, and net) are passed down the endoscope to remove the bolus. In some case, the bolus may move into the stomach during the procedure.
Often, the doctor will also look for underlying conditions that may have put you at risk for this problem.
To help reduce your chance of getting steakhouse syndrome, take the following steps:

Premiering on North Carolina Weekend in August 2013!
North Carolina's early settlers established communities along our rivers, which were the transportation vehicles for goods and services. While the soil and climate determined the types of clay and trees, the immigrants, with their own cultures, brought individual style through fashioned furniture, pottery, textiles and metal goods for their daily needs.
NC Weekend Producer Julia Carpenter, with curatorial assistance from The Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, is traveling the state to discover North Carolina-made treasures.
Perhaps you own a piece of North Carolina history and would like to learn more about it. Perhaps you would like to start a collection of antiques or contemporary work by North Carolina artists. If so, Collecting Carolina on North Carolina Weekend is for you! Watch for these new segments each month on UNC-TV's NC Weekend Thursdays at 9:00pm and Fridays at 8:30pm.

Student FAQ
General Information
What are the aims of the Washington College freshman and sophomore externship program?
- Helps 1st and 2nd year students integrate curriculum development with career development information
- Links and customizes the Washington College 1st year career awareness program to experiential learning opportunities
- Creates first step in a 4 year plan for outside the classroom learning to include internships, international experiences, undergraduate research, and/or fellowships.
What opportunities does the Washington College externship program provide freshmen and sophomores?
- Students can see a career opportunity "up close and personally"
- Students have the chance to observe in industries, government agencies, and non profits before selecting their college majors and minors
- Students are introduced to practical strategies for linking ideas and concepts from inside and outside the classroom
- Students explore applications of career and professional skills in a workplace
- Students begin the life long process of employment networking and career mentoring
- Students use the externship opportunity as a building block for identifying other formalized, outside the classroom experiences that they choose to pursue in subsequent years.
When will externships be available?

How long will the externship last?
- Each externship will include at least one full business day on site at the host organization and perhaps another one to two days depending on the host site's preference and availability
How is a successfully completed externship tracked/recorded by the college?
- While externships are not academic credit bearing activities and therefore do not appear on academic transcripts, all completed externships are recorded by the registrar's office and become part of the student's 4 year experiential learning plan.
- Students are also encouraged to include externships on their personal resumes
What is the difference between an internship and an externship?
- Internships tend to be longer (usually weeks and months) than externships and require the student to work full-time or part-time on specific projects and/or tasks within the organization, sometimes for academic credit.
What is the difference between service learning and an externship?
- In service learning, students volunteer their time usually over a long duration to accomplish a mission or task of the organization whereas an externship involves shadowing persons associated with the organization to gain a general perspective on the career field.
Are externships paid or unpaid?
- Externships are unpaid. Students are responsible for transportation, housing, and meals.
- In some instances, the host organization may provide a transportation subsidy or meal assistance during the day the student is at that site.
Is Washington College funding available for externships?
- On a case by case basis, some assistance may be available to some students.
Who hosts externships?
- Externship hosts are either Washington College alumni, parents, or associates/affiliates.
- All potential hosts enter into an agreement with the college to offer 1,2 or 3 day externship experiences.
What career fields for externships are available?
- Arts
- Business
- Education
- Foreign Relations/Foreign Policy
- Government
- Health Professions
- Law and Justice
- Science and Technology
- Social Services
What types of activities could an extern expect to participate in?
- Possible activities include: attending business meetings, observing organizational tasks; meeting officials and staff members; touring facilities; getting acquainted with the organization's missions and goals; learning how professional or technical skills are applied in that specific workplace; meeting other industry or government partners; rotating through special units/divisions within the organization: seeing how research is conducted; observing client interactions or being assigned a small project to learn about the work environment and its culture.
Can a student participate in more than one externship?
- Yes, interested students may participate both freshman and sophomore years at different host sites, but only one externship per spring break will be scheduled for each student.

The Cherokee Tavern is known for some of the best steaks in West St. Paul, but for one day each year, they specialize in turkey for some very special customers.
Former owner Dorothy Casper and her family started feeding the needy and the lonely on Thanksgiving more than 30 years ago. Their operation has grown from 200 meals to nearly 4,000, available for sit-down or takeout.
"It's a joyful thing," said Casper. "It's more fun for us than it is for the anybody else. The same people come back to work -- they give up their time too."
Casper's sons now own the Cherokee and they even deliver Thanksgiving meals to those who can't make it in.
All the meals are free.

Fantasy Tip: Wes Welker may be eligible to play in Week 3. He is priced at $3,700 (7.4% of your cap) on FantasyScore, but they are playing the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. He's a cheap gamble to take, but temper expectations. Josh Gordon could be eligible to return later this season as well.

Warnings can't be deleted, which makes sense, so we always have an overview of what actions were taken in the past. Your warning level and warnings are only visible to you and the moderators. Considering it was a long time ago, I'll reset your warning level. All I can do.

Wide range of construction to fall under streamlined permitting efforts
Monday - 1/30/2012, 10:11am EST
"Of course when you streamline that process, you're going to have a little more efficiency getting those projects off the ground, awarded and, of course, constructed," said Marco Giamberardino, senior director of the Federal and Heavy Construction Division at the Associated General Contractors of America, in an interview with The Federal Drive with Tom Temin.
But the efforts to streamline apply to a wide range of projects. Because of the various processes construction projects must go through, some projects can take as little as three years to as many as 20 years, Giamberardino said. He added that local and state regulations come into play as well.
"In fact, constructing a major roadway can take sometimes as long as 200 major steps throughout the entire project's life, and that includes approvals both at the federal, state, local levels, other stakeholders such as ... If you have to go through a neighborhood or get through a wetland," he said.
Other federal agencies may also be involved, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, Fish and Wildlife Services, Bureau of Land Management, Army Corps of Engineer and Coast Guard, Giamberardino added.
The administration has launched a pilot program with 14 projects for streamlined permitting. All 14 projects are "on track" and will provide lessons learned for other federal construction projects, the President said in an update this month.
Giamberardino said AGCA is still waiting to hear about more details of the administration's streamlining proposals. He said whatever the details are, the agencies directly involved in procuring and managing projects are "the best on-the-ground folks to work with."

Kraft focuses on chocolates and gum
The food company is leveraging Cadbury's presence in India to expand its presence there.
After the acquisition of Cadbury in 2010, chocolates, candies and gums became the most important segment for Kraft, contributing more than 26% to the total stock price, as per our estimates.
In India, Kraft recently launched Toblerone to boost its chocolate portfolio in the country. Kraft has a major presence in India through Cadbury. Its earlier launches in India include Tang and Oreo cookies, which have been successful thanks to competitive pricing and Cadbury's distribution and supply chain networks present in the country. Cadbury has been present in India for more than 60 years.
Kraft is looking to position Toblerone in the premium chocolate category, which is currently dominated by Ferrero Rocher. Positioning in the premium chocolate category will also help avoid cannibalizing Cadbury's chocolates already present in the country, most of which are in the mid-range category.
We have a $40 price estimate for Kraft Foods, which is slightly above the current market price.
Kraft is looking to bolster its presence in the gum market after admitting that it was one of the segments that hasn't received adequate attention and has the potential to improve. Kraft hopes to accelerate the sales of its Trident gum by offering retailers retrofittable gum and mint shelves. Worldwide, gum companies are dependent on a large extent on impulse buying. Initial tests have resulted in sales jumping 15%-20%.
Recently, Kraft also won an innovation award from Nielsen for its Trident Layers gum. Earlier in the year, Kraft announced a new marketing campaign for Trident that focuses on the emotional benefits associated with the product instead of the usual focus on health benefits, in order to appeal to a wide range of customers.

Score from 205 reviews Very good
This hotel does not live up to its reputation as a stellar "botique hotel"-- it smelled of smoke, had dirty floors, and zero expertise and friendliness at the reception staff desk. It should have been a third the price for the quality.
Comfort location
Some facilities may need a bit of an upgrade.
The look, feel and smell of the rooms and hallway on level one
Pool Wifi Supplied Coffee in morning Ice machine Upgraded us to Poolside room Taxi rank directly out front
Staff charged my credit card incorrectly Staff directed us to room in which people were still staying in Staff did not take us to next room
Location, interior design, restaurant, attentive staff and nice pool.
Ceiling and walls a little thin.
Staff, location, pool. Nice new restaurant and bar.
Lack of sunbeds (6 in total). Bar prices.
Great location, the room was clean and nice, each floor has frit water and coffee during the day, a nice touch.
A/C was a bit old and noisy, valet car parking at $32 a night is something you should be aware of.
Great stay, friendly staff, all was well. The pool got crowed at times but nothing to really complain about. Excavations next door were a let down as there was so much noise coming through the room.
The bathroom was quite small and had a few insects from next doors excavations. Otherwise nothing else was wrong.
Bed was comfortable. Location was good. Service was pleasant.
It was a messy construction site. All of the hallway rugs looked like they hadn't been vacuumed in months. The ac unit in my room was noisy and dirty. Bathroom was also not really clean. Everything felt tired and old. It was fine. I was there one night. But it was just ok overall.
very dirty, old, smelly. requested change from booking.com but no time to do. we changed room which was better but still dirty and very low end.
Great stay here, staff were very helpful!! Having been to LA before and not really liking it, I now realised I stayed in the wrong place in the wrong area!!!! This hotel was perfect for us!!!
Really friendly and helpful staff
Comfortable beds.
When the bellman got our things out of the car he must have broken the hook for hanging items in the car. Either he didn't notice or he didn't say anything about it. I didn't hang anything when I left, but I found the broken piece when I got home.
Very little
The building work was very disruptive and there seemed to be no attempt to apologise or compensate.
Location Staff
Parking Charges were extortionate Pool dirty - not obviously cleaned on a regular basis. Air-conditioning in the rooms was very poor. Rooms not cleaned daily.
My partner (21) and I (25) stayed at the grafton for one night on our way through Hollywood. We found it to be a very central location and a very clean and friendly hotel. The next morning we needed to find a way to get down to Anaheim, with out a problem the font dest organised us a driver who was also very friendly. If we return to Hollywood we would book the grafton again without hesitation.
Close to everything staff were lovely
some staff rude
noise above to noisy
Finally, a reasonably priced AND charming LA Hotel! Excellent Restaurant, except as noted. Staff well informed and, more importantly, very solicitous and helpful.
For a new restaurant, the prices in the restaurant are exorbitant. The food and service were excellent but the prices were at least 15% too high for the value given, the location, etc.
The location was great.
At 2:00 I heard my door knob giggle and a few minutes later, someone knocks on my door and asked me if the shower was on. He woke me out of a deep sleep and didn't have a uniform of any type. When I brought this to the attention of the front desk, they said there wasn't a management person there. The next day when I contacted the manager, he told me the person was from security and there was a smoke alarm that went off in my room. There was no audible smoke alarm and it was pretty creepy that someone was knocking on my door at 2:00 am when I was with my teenage daughter and the front desk had no idea but later management said a smoke alarm went off...which no one heard. Further correspondence indicated that there wasn't an issue. I was in a hotel, I should have been safe and after the knock both my daughter and I were up all night.
Location, comfort and staff.
No tea and coffee making facility in room. One available on ground floor foyer during certain times of the day. When we used it the water was luke warm.
The pool is beautiful.the perfect location
The price for the location
Convenient location. Size of double bed room was good. Staff was pleasant. Valet courteous.
Small pool with no sunlight. Lack of soundproofing between floors. Overpriced for type of hotel ($415 for 1 night). Overpriced parking ($36). Interior fit and finish quality average to below average; for example, cracked bathroom tiles on floor. Reception lobby and amenities light for price. No view. Patrons smoking weed.
Too noisy you could hear everyone walking from room above. Gentleman on front counter rude. We were guest easy to explain than get on the back foot.
The hotel was in a great location and the room was perfect for what we needed. It was also nice to have the pool area and had great views over the city.
Although the hotel was great in most ways, we were unfortunately let down on our check out. We stored our luggage after check out so we could spend some time by the pool before catching our flight home. When we returned to collector luggage, we were informed by the gentleman on the front desk that the porter would be with us shortly as he was helping another guest. After 10 minutes, we queried again as we needed to leave to catch our flight. Again we were informed he would be with us soon. We asked the gentleman if we could collect the bags ourselves and were told the room was locked. We asked if he could get them but he said there was only one key. When the porter finally arrived after a further 10 minutes, he approached the man on front desk who unattached the keys to the room and gave them to the porter. We did not appreciate this as the man advised when we asked that he did not have a key and couldn't help us. The porter was very helpful and efficient as we advised we were running late for our flight. The man on the desk overheard us talking this, he was very defensive and a little rude. Unfortunately after such a pleasant stay at this hotel, our final experience which we walked away with was a bad one.

FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say an Arizona City motorcyclist is facing charges after fleeing from a Pinal County Sheriff's deputy to avoid a speeding ticket.
Sheriff's officials say 29-year-old Raymond Joseph Higgs is jailed on suspicion of unlawful flight.
A deputy tried to stop a motorcyclist going 80 mph in a 50 mph zone outside the Casa Grande city limits on May 28.
The deputy activated his emergency lights, but the motorcycle accelerated to speeds in excess of 100 mph and weaved in and out of traffic to get away.
Authorities eventually identified the motorcyclist as Higgs. They say they found Higgs at his home last Saturday working on his motorcycle, which had been freshly painted.
Higgs told deputies that he fled because his motorcycle was unregistered and he didn't have insurance.

GA Minutes 12/27
January 4, 2012 in GA resolutions
12/27/11 GA Notes
Emergency Agenda Item- 24/7 Occupiers need a phone with a camera and a storage unit to enhance security, communication, and documentation during raids/police harassment.
On 12/27/11 at 1am Occupiers had their tarps torn off of them and were demanded to remove personal items within 10 minutes. The police officers offered the same "encumbrance" eviction paper as their justification (but with no warning ahead of time). Occupiers had to run to a pay phone (to no avail) and an apartment to reach help to retrieve private property and to record the officers.
The need for a storage unit for essential personal items, such as: birth certificates, personal photos, court papers, etc. was discussed.
The need for a phone with a camera (preferably a smart phone) for calling emergency help and back-up, for recording interactions with police, and for mass communication through the internet was discussed.
The idea was proposed to seek both items as donations before using funds.
An idea was proposed for an emergency twitter account that sends text alerts.
The previously discussed necessity of an emergency phone tree was reiterated.
A vote was taken to have a phone on the ground for the 24/7 Occupiers.
13 For
1 Opposed
0 Abstaining
The finances for the phone were discussed. Several people offered phones that could be donated. Different plan options were discussed. Anthony offered to add a phone to his plan. It had been proposed to raise the funds among the members of the GA, but as the exact cost was unknown, funding for the emergency phone was tabled until GA on 12/28/11 to allow Anthony to learn the total cost for activation fee, monthly service cost, etc. Funding options will be discussed at the GA on 12/28/11.
A vote was taken on the 24/7 Occupier to be responsible for the emergency phone. For security purposes this name will be available upon request. Alternates were discussed as well, in case of emergency.
9 For
0 Opposed
2 Abstaining
Further decisions on the storage unit were tabled until a cost estimate could be brought to GA. The goal for the estimate is 12/28/11. Discussion of access to the storage unit will be at the same GA.
The Twitter emergency account was discussed further. Privacy concerns were raised.
GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS (because this was an emergency GA, the emergency agenda item had been discussed first)
*Matt raised the proposal to act in solidarity with Occupy St. Paul, MN on January 17, 2012 against the NDAA. The action would be to Occupy the Senator's Office.
Questions were raised about the fact that the NDAA, if not signed or vetoed, would become law within 10 days, well before January 17, 2012.
The idea was tabled until further information could be learned.
*Outreach Committee- Anthony mentioned that the January 10, 2012 event at the Hi-Dive was coming together well.
Anthony also mentioned outreach to veterans was going well, while outreach to senior citizens was not going as well.
*Silas mentioned hearing about other Occupations going underground and ceasing to exist and rallied everyone to keep things going at Occupy Denver.
At this time, the GA came to a close.

Congested standings in the Western Conference make it more difficult to ascertain which teams will be buyers and sellers leading up the February 27th trade deadline. Certainly results over the next four weeks could help make some of those decisions.
Both the Columbus Blue Jackets and Edmonton Oilers have left little doubt what their role will be as the deadline nears, and the Anaheim Ducks -- even with their recently improved play -- may join them in the ranks of the sellers.
After that, though, there are four teams sitting outside the playoffs that are within three points of eighth in the conference; that kind of small deficit makes it difficult for a team to sell, yet as long as they are sitting outside the playoffs, it is similarly difficult to get into full-scale buyer mode too.
The usual suspects -- Detroit, Vancouver, Chicago -- will be primed to add pieces for a championship run and the St. Louis Blues might be in that game as well.
What about the Nashville Predators or Los Angeles Kings? They're in playoff position and could add too, which runs the list of buyers in the Western Conference to seven before dealing with Minnesota, Colorado, Dallas, Calgary and Phoenix -- a group of teams that are clustered between eighth and 12th in the West.
The next four weeks should help provide some clearer lines between the buyers and sellers but, in the meantime, Columbus and Edmonton can expect to field a lot of calls.
Let the trade talks begin!
A couple of notes about the following chart:
Restricted Free Agents (RFA) have contracts that expire this summer, barring a contract extension in the meantime, but their current team retains the right to match a contract offer so long as they make the requisite qualifying offer. While restricted free agents haven't moved a lot, it's worth noting when decision time is coming on a young player's contract.
Unrestricted Free Agents (UFA) have contracts that will expire this summer and, without a contract extension, they will be free to sign with whatever team they choose on July 1. These are the players that often move in "rental"-type deals, ideally providing a short-term fix with minimal commitment required.
Top prospects are the top five players in each organization. Other top prospects or those that are now with the NHL team may be listed among other players of interest. Contending teams may be more likely to dangle a top prospect or two as they try to find that final piece for their playoff mix, while it's safe to assume that young and rebuilding teams aren't going to move top prospects unless they get a significant long-term piece in return.
Other players of interest will include prospects who have spent some time in the NHL this season as well as players under contract for future seasons that may have some level of attractiveness on the trade market.
IMPORTANT: Just because a player is listed as being of interest, it doesn't mean he will be traded or should be traded. Some may just be of interest for teams looking to hit a home run when trying to swing a deal or they are players that may be considered to be underachieving for the money they are due over the rest of their contract.
Generally, then, here's a rough guide for which players each Western Conference team might have at their disposal in order to make a trade leading up to the deadline.
The Eastern Conference Playbook can be viewed here.
UFA in 2012: Jason Blake, Teemu Selanne, Saku Koivu, Niklas Hagman, George Parros, Rod Pelley, Sheldon Brookbank, Dan Ellis.
RFA in 2012: Maxime Macenauer, Nick Bonino.
Top Prospects: Emerson Etem, RW, Medicine Hat (WHL) Justin Schultz, D, Wisconsin (WCHA) Kyle Palmieri, C, Syraucse (AHL) Peter Holland, C, Syracuse (AHL) John Gibson, G, Kitchener (OHL)
Others of Interest: Bobby Ryan, Ryan Getzlaf, Matt Beleskey, Toni Lydman.
No-Trade Clauses: Teemu Selanne, Saku Koivu, Francois Beauchemin (modified).
The Plan: It was easy to peg the Ducks as sellers based on their miserable start to the season, but their recent surge might make GM Bob Murray a little more patient before deciding to make dramatic changes. Murray did say, while the Ducks were in the throes of their woes, that all but Saku Koivu and Teemu Selanne could be moved, so that has the vultures circling, looking to pry away one of the Ducks' stars.
That seems less likely now, but teams have surely come calling for Bobby Ryan or Ryan Getzlaf, but neither would come cheaply. Veteran winger Jason Blake figures to be the easiest piece to move.
UFA in 2012: Olli Jokinen, Lee Stempniak, David Moss, Tom Kostopoulos, Tim Jackman, Cory Sarich, Scott Hannan, Derek Smith.
RFA in 2012: Blake Comeau, Mikael Backlund, Blair Jones, Leland Irving.
Top Prospects: Sven Baertschi, LW, Portland (WHL) Greg Nemisz, RW, Abbotsford (AHL) Max Reinhart, C, Kootenay (WHL) John Gaudreau, LW, Boston College (HE) Joey Leach, D, Kootenay (WHL)
Others of Interest: Chris Butler.
No-Trade Clauses: Jarome Iginla, Michael Cammalleri (limited), Alex Tanguay (limited), Matt Stajan (modified), Olli Jokinen, Curtis Glencross, Jay Bouwmeester, Mark Giordano, Cory Sarich, Anton Babchuk.
The Plan: After acquiring Mike Cammalleri, Flames GM Jay Feaster insisted that the club will be making a push for a playoff spot. Assuming that they don't lose ground, the Flames are close enough to keep adding. Certainly adding a legitimate number one centre has long been a need and remains one now.
The Flames recently dealt Brendan Morrison to Chicago and they've acquired Blair Jones from Tampa Bay and Blake Comeau on waivers from the Islanders earlier in the season, but if they are going big-game hunting, the Flames will have to dig deep in order to come up with the kind of package that it takes to land a premier centre.
UFA in 2012: Andrew Brunette, Dan Carcillo, Jamal Mayers, Brendan Morrison, Sean O'Donnell, Sami Lepisto, John Scott, Ray Emery.
RFA in 2012: None.
Top Prospects: Brandon Pirri, C, Rockford (AHL)Brandon Saad, LW, Saginaw (OHL)Mark McNeill, C, Prince Albert (WHL) Adam Clendening, D, Boston College (HE) Kevin Hayes, LW, Boston University (HE)
Others of Interest: Michael Frolik, Marcus Kruger, Viktor Stalberg, Jimmy Hayes, Bryan Bickell.
No-Trade Clauses: Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook (modified), Steve Montador (modified).
The Plan: Adding Brendan Morrison gives the Blackhawks a month to audition him in the second-line centre role to determine if that is still going to be a need approaching the deadline. Considering the kind of ice time that Jonathan Toews and Dave Bolland will command, the "number two" pivot in Chicago may effectively play third-line minutes.
Since the Blackhawks appear to be legitimate Cup contenders, expect them to bolster their blueline, looking for a top-four calibre blueliner and to get in the mix for a top-six forward if the price is right.
UFA in 2012: Milan Hejduk, David Jones, Jay McClement, Cody McLeod, Daniel Winnik, David Van der Gulik, Matt Hunwick, Shane O'Brien.
RFA in 2012: Matt Duchene, Peter Mueller, Ryan O'Reilly, Kevin Porter, T.J. Galiardi, Kyle Quincey, Erik Johnson, Ryan Wilson.
Top Prospects: Tyson Barrie, D, Lake Erie (AHL)Duncan Siemens, D, Saskatoon (WHL)Joey Hishon, C, Lake Erie (AHL)Cameron Gaunce, D, Lake Erie (AHL)Calvin Pickard, G, Seattle (WHL)
Others of Interest: Paul Stastny, Chuck Kobasew, Ryan O'Byrne.
No-Trade Clauses: Milan Hejduk.
The Plan: So long as the Avalanche remain in playoff contention, they can't very well turn into full-fledged sellers, but with so many pending unrestricted free agents, they could certainly offer solutions to teams that are looking for third and fourth-line upgrades.
Given the emergence of Ryan O'Reilly as an offensive contributor, the Avalanche may also consider dealing Paul Stastny once Matt Duchene returns to action. Of course any move of that magnitude would have to bring quality -- a scoring winger, a top-four defenceman? -- in return.
UFA in 2012: Kristian Huselius, Samuel Pahlsson, Vaclav Prospal, Derek MacKenzie, Radek Martinek, Brett Lebda, Aaron Johnson.
RFA in 2012: Jared Boll, Derek Dorsett, Ryan Russell, Nikita Nikitin.
Top Prospects: David Savard, D, Springfield (AHL)Cam Atkinson, RW, Springfield (AHL)Tomas Kubalik, RW, Springfield (AHL)Boone Jenner, C, Oshawa (OHL)Matt Calvert, LW, Springfield (AHL)
Others of Interest: R.J. Umberger, Antoine Vermette, Derick Brassard, Mark Letestu, Colton Gillies, Grant Clitsome, Steve Mason.
No-Trade Clauses: Rick Nash, Jeff Carter, James Wisniewski.
The Plan: This season's disaster in Columbus does make the Blue Jackets very intriguing as the deadline approaches because they have so few untouchables. It seems a given that Jeff Carter is on the block, but it's conceivable that Rick Nash might even be a possibility to be moved.
The rebuilding has to begin in earnest now; the good news is that the Blue Jackets need pretty much everything and should be as motivated as any team in the league to sell off extraneous parts in order to star remodeling the roster.
UFA in 2012: Radek Dvorak, Adam Burish, Jake Dowell, Toby Petersen, Sheldon Souray, Nicklas Grossman.
RFA in 2012: Jamie Benn, Tom Wandell, Mark Fistric, Richard Bachman.
Top Prospects: Alex Chiasson, RW, Boston University (HE)Jamie Oleksiak, D, Niagara (OHL)Matt Fraser, LW, Texas (AHL)Scott Glennie, C, Texas (AHL)Reilly Smith, RW, Miami-Ohio (CCHA)
Others of Interest: Vernon Fiddler, Eric Nystrom, Adam Pardy.
No-Trade Clauses: Mike Ribeiro (limited), Brenden Morrow, Steve Ott, Stephane Robidas, Trevor Daley (limited).
The Plan: The Stars have some interesting pieces, should they decide to sell, not least of all captain Brenden Morrow, but the Stars can't very well go into selling mode if they remain so close to a playoff spot.
It would make more sense for new ownership to do some tweaking in order to improve the Stars' chances at the postseason. A top-six forward should be the main priority if the Stars are bidding for a playoff berth, but upgrading their depth forwards could also be a reasonable starting point.
UFA in 2012: Jiri Hudler, Todd Bertuzzi, Tomas Holmstrom, Nicklas Lidstrom, Brad Stuart, Mike Commodore, Ty Conklin.
RFA in 2012: Darren Helm, Justin Abdelkader.
Top Prospects: Brendan Smith, D, Grand Rapids (AHL)Tomas Tatar, LW, Grand Rapids (AHL)Gustav Nyquist, LW, Grand Rapids (AHL)Teemu Pulkkinen, RW, Jokerit (SML)Tomas Jurco, RW, Saint John (QMJHL)
Others of Interest: Valtteri Filppula, Patrick Eaves, Drew Miller, Jan Mursak, Cory Emmerton.
No-Trade Clauses: Pavel Datsyuk, Todd Bertuzzi (modified), Tomas Holmstrom, Nicklas Lidstrom, Jonathan Ericsson (modified).
The Plan: As always, the Wings are contenders, so they should be looking to add some pieces before the deadline and can accomodate high-end skill or upgrades in the bottom half of the lineup.
The Wings also have a talented group of prospects on the way up, so they don't need to overpay in their attempts to land a top-nine forward or a depth defenceman, but given the age of Detroit's core players, there also should be some urgency to make a strong push for the Cup this season.
UFA in 2012: Ryan Smyth, Ales Hemsky, Lennart Petrell, Darcy Hordichuk, Andy Sutton.
RFA in 2012: Sam Gagner, Cam Barker, Theo Peckham, Jeff Petry.
Top Prospects: Oscar Klefbom, D, Farjestads (SEL) Martin Marincin, D, Regina (WHL)Linus Omark, LW, Oklahoma City (AHL)David Musil, D, Vancouver (WHL)Teemu Hartikainen, C, Oklahoma City (AHL)
Others of Interest: Eric Belanger, Ryan Jones, Magnus Paajarvi, Ben Eager, Anton Lander, Tom Gilbert.
No-Trade Clauses: Ryan Smyth, Shawn Horcoff, Ryan Whitney.
The Plan: Headed for another high pick in the 2012 draft, the Oilers have exciting young skilled forwards around which to build, but they need help, particularly on defence and, possibly, in goal.
Edmonton's most marketable commodity will be Ales Hemsky, their oft-injured winger who is having his worst year as a pro. Nevertheless, Hemsky will draw interest for teams looking for an upgrade in skill among their top six forwards and, since demand for top six wingers figures to outweigh supply, Hemsky should bring a decent return for the Oilers.
UFA in 2012: Dustin Penner, Jarret Stoll, Scott Parse, Colin Fraser, Trent Hunter, Willie Mitchell.
RFA in 2012: None.
Top Prospects:Tyler Toffoli, RW, Ottawa (OHL)Derek Forbort, D, North Dakota (WCHA)Martin Jones, G, Manchester (AHL)Thomas Hickey, D, Manchester (AHL) Jake Muzzin, D, Manchester (AHL)
Others of Interest: Brad Richardson, Kyle Clifford, Andrei Loktionov, Trevor Lewis, Alec Martinez, Davis Drewiske.
No-Trade Clauses: None.
The Plan: Darryl Sutter has brought better results since taking over behind the bench, lifting the Kings into playoff contention, but the Kings' lack of scoring makes offensive upgrades a high priority. A couple top nine forwards that might improve the Kings' offensive output would be most welcome.
Expectations were high for the Kings coming into the season, but their struggle to just get back into the playoff race could send a signal that this team isn't yet ready to be a Cup contender, no matter what kind of deals they make before the deadline.
UFA in 2012: Kyle Brodziak, Brad Staubitz, Warren Peters, Greg Zanon, Mike Lundin, Clayton Stoner, Josh Harding.
RFA in 2012: Gauillaume Latendresse, Jarod Palmer, Carson McMillan, Nick Johnson, Nate Prosser, Justin Falk.
Top Prospects: Mikael Granlund, C, HIFK-Helsinki (SML)Charlie Coyle, RW, Saint John (QMJHL)Jonas Brodin, D, Farjestads (SEL)Matt Hackett, G, Houston (AHL)Zack Phillips, RW, Saint John (QMJHL)
Others of Interest: Pierre-Marc Bouchard, Niklas Backstrom.
No-Trade Clauses: Dany Heatley, Mikko Koivu, Matt Cullen (limited), Marek Zidlicky.
The Plan: After stunning success early in the season, the Wild have been fading since. With Mikko Koivu sidelined, they are facing an uphill battle to finish in a playoff spot, yet as long as they remain in contention, the Wild ought to be looking to add as many scoring forwards as they can find.
It would be premature for the Wild to sell off prospects in order to improve short-term, but perhaps they'll be able to parlay a move that ships out veteran blueliner Marek Zidlicky, who has fallen out of favour, with moves that lead to upgraded forward lines.
UFA in 2012: Jordin Tootoo, Brandon Yip, Brian McGrattan, Ryan Suter, Francis Bouillon.
RFA in 2012: Sergei Kostitsyn, Colin Wilson, Shea Weber, Jack Hillen, Anders Lindback.
Top Prospects: Jonathon Blum D, Milwaukee (AHL) Michael Latta, C, Milwaukee (AHL)Taylor Beck, RW, Milwaukee (AHL) Blake Geoffrion, LW, Milwaukee (AHL) Austin Watson, RW, London (OHL)
Others of Interest: Patric Hornqvist, Nick Spaling, Jerred Smithson, Matt Halischuk, Gabriel Bourque, Roman Josi.
No-Trade Clauses: Martin Erat, David Legwand.
The Plan: The primary concern for the Predators may be the status of defenceman Ryan Suter, who will be an unrestricted free agent in the summer, but as long as Nashville is sitting in playoff position, it's hard to believe that the Predators would jeopardize their current lineup. Assuming that Suter stays put, the Predators can look to improve depth, perhaps adding some veteran muscle on the back end, as rookies Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis have been patrolling the blueline more and more.
The Predators have tended towards making measured moves, like last season's addition of two-way pivot Mike Fisher, and the results have been generally favourable, while still allowing the Predators to keep a strong farm system. Will Suter's pending UFA status force any more urgency for the Predators at this year's deadline?
UFA in 2012: Shane Doan, Daymond Langkow, Ray Whitney, Taylor Pyatt, Michal Rozsival, Adrian Aucoin, Kurt Sauer.
RFA in 2012: Gilbert Brule, Kyle Chipchura.
Top Prospects: Brandon Gormley, D, Shawinigan (QMJHL)Connor Murphy, D, Sarnia (OHL)Viktor Tikhonov, LW, St. Petersburg (KHL)Chris Brown, C, Michigan (CCHA)Michael Stone, D, Portland (AHL)
Others of Interest: Lauri Korpikoski, Raffi Torres.
No-Trade Clauses: Shane Doan, Daymond Langkow, Ray Whitney, Radim Vrbata (modified), Michal Rozsival (limited), Derek Morris (limited), Adrian Aucoin (modified).
The Plan: Though the Coyotes are just on the outside of the playoff picture, they're mentioned frequently as a target for contending teams, with veterans like Shane Doan and Ray Whitney holding appeal for many teams.
It's hard to imagine Doan in another sweater, but the perpetual uncertainty of the franchise, combined with his contract status, does at least lead to the possibility of a deal. Otherwise, Whitney and veteran defencemen Aucoin and Rozsival would be reasonable acquisitions.
UFA in 2012: Jason Arnott, Jamie Langenbrunner, Scott Nichol, Chris Porter, Barret Jackman, Carlo Colaiacovo, Kent Huskins.
RFA in 2012: Chris Stewart, T.J. Oshie, David Perron.
Top Prospects:Vladimir Tarasenko, RW, St. Petersburg (KHL)Jaden Schwartz, LW, Colorado College (WCHA)Ty Rattie, RW, Portland (WHL)Philip McRae, C, Peoria (AHL)Evgeny Grachev, LW, Peoria (AHL)
Others of Interest: Patrik Berglund, Matt D'Agostini, Kris Russell, Ian Cole.
No-Trade Clauses: Andy McDonald, Jason Arnott, Barret Jackman
The Plan: The way the Blues have played since Ken Hitchcock took over as head coach, they have to operate as a Cup contender this season, which means filling in the holes so that they can make the most of the strong goaltending they've been getting from Brian Elliott and Jaroslav Halak.
While goals don't come that easily to the Blues, their lineup might be bolstered internally if they get Andy McDonald and Alex Steen back from concussions and get some improvement from Chris Stewart and Patrik Berglund, both of whom have more to offer than what they've produced thus far.
UFA in 2012: Torrey Mitchell, Brad Winchester, Andrew Murray, Jim Vandermeer, Colin White, Andrew Murray.
RFA in 2012: Tommy Wingels, Jamie McGinn, Benn Ferriero, Andrew Desjardins, Justin Braun.
Top Prospects: Matt Nieto, RW, Boston University (HE)Nick Petrecki, D, Worcester (AHL)Taylor Doherty, D, Worcester (AHL)Tyson Sexsmith, G, Worcester (AHL)Konrad Abeltshauser, D, Halifax (QMJHL)
Others of Interest: Martin Havlat, Jason Demers.
No-Trade Clauses: Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, Michal Handzus, Dan Boyle, Colin White (modified).
The Plan: The Sharks have denied rumours that Ryane Clowe could be moved, but San Jose does look like a team that could get involved in some deals, at least to upgrade their third and fourth lines and/or depth on defence.
Since the Sharks don't have a great group of prospects, their currency may be in young NHLers like Jamie McGinn, Benn Ferriero, Tommy Wingels and Justin Braun or draft picks.
UFA in 2012: Aaron Volpatti, Andrew Ebbett, Sami Salo, Aaron Rome, Alexander Sulzer.
RFA in 2012: Mason Raymond, Dale Weise, Cory Schneider.
Top Prospects: Nicklas Jensen, RW, Oshawa (OHL)Chris Tanev, D, Chicago (AHL)Eddie Lack, G, Chicago (AHL)Jordan Schroeder, C, Chciago (AHL)Kevin Connauton, D, Chicago (AHL)
Others of Interest: Keith Ballard, Andrew Alberts.
No-Trade Clauses: Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, Manny Malhotra (limited), Kevin Bieksa, Dan Hamhuis, Sami Salo, Roberto Luongo.
The Plan:Now that the Canucks are finally healthy, they are as talented as any team in the league, with excellent depth, but it wouldn't be altogether surprising to see them target more toughness that they can include in their postseason lineup.
Last year's loss to Boston in the Cup Final, to say nothing of a possible matchup against Chicago, should emphasize the Canucks' need to get down and dirty when the situation demands it.

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Five law enforcement officers from across the state received the state's highest honor Friday, the Medal of Honor.
"It's very humbling," said Spokane County Sheriff's Deputy Michael Northway.
He was shot four times by a wanted man last June.
"I am appreciative," said Northway, "Appreciative my family doesn't see my name in the stone."
The "stone" is the state's law enforcement memorial, inscripted with the names of the state's more than 250 officers killed in the line of duty.
One of the recent additions is Margaret Anderson.
The Mount Rainier ranger was killed by a gunman in the park on New Year's Day 2012.
Her parents received her Medal of Honor, posthumously, Friday.
Spokane County Deputy Joseph Spink, shot last June, also received the medal, along with two Lakewood Police officers, Ryan Moody and Jon Waller.
Moody and Waller chased, shot and killed a man who had been shooting at them. They both were nearly hit.
"You try not to think about it, in the heat of it," said Waller, "I didn't know it was that close."
