User Reviews
The community thinks...
If you have the means I highly recommend by Aj, Naples Florida on 04/22/2010. Trim: 2010 Jaguar XKR Convertible, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: 510 HP. Traded my Aston Martin Vantage for it. More reliable, gets just as much attention by the power is a whole lot more. This thing gets crazy fast especially from 30 to 70 is so immediate it is scary. The sound is a lion growl versus the Aston. More sedate but when asked it is ready. More luxurious interior. Better value to DB9 (about 100K less)
Cons: Needs LED in front but I am taking care of it myself from Startech. It really completes the car to modern look.
Overall review: I think this is like a little auto industry best kept secret. Forget SL and 911s and even Aston.

Senior Senator Max Baucus spent his 97th field work day out in a real corn field.
"I'm not going to be at my current job forever you know. I think it would be a good idea to hire out and try out these different jobs sitting on the combine is a lot of fun, it's very interesting but it is also kind of sobering because the combines are getting awfully expensive and farmers are doing a pretty good job bringing their crops in," explains Senator Baucus.
Currently Senator Baucus is fighting hard to pass the farm bill which will help many Montana farmers.
"Agriculture is still our number 1 industry it kind of helps root us into the ground makes us a little bit humble in a certain way, which I think is very good because it's a very fast paced life. It's also our mainstay of our economy. Agriculture is number 1 in Montana and has been for many years and continues to be as far as the eye can see and this is pretty good for Montana. It's also good for our livestock operators. There has been some disasters in our state flooding and fires and so forth, it's very comforting to know that when there is a disaster there is going to be some support," says Senator Baucus.
With 97 days down of trying different jobs here in Montana, the senior Senator was able to get first hand in site from Montanans by walking a mile in their shoes.
"I like to make myself available so that people can ask me questions about what in the world is going on? What are they doing back there? Why not this? Why not that? It's part of my job, it's part of the job I really like the best," says Senator Baucus.
And just how did our senator do on the farm?
"He did pretty good he took a ride with me in the tractor and we talked about farming then I dropped him off in the combine," says farm operator, Charles Lenington.
Where will the Senator's last 3 workdays on the way to 100 be? Well according to the senator himself, it could be anywhere. Even being a Reporter for a day.

The introduction of a nation wide canal system in the US
How can we tackle the ever increasing drop in water levels in the US?
Well, my solution is for a nationwide series of navigable channels that would allow the movement of water in all directions to help areas in need of water replenishment. What are the stumbling blocks in meeting this goal. There are 3 big hurdles in making this happen: Money, capture and storage.
I will eliminate the latter and discuss how this can be paid for.
Every year flood waters in varying parts of the country are allowed to flow freely back to the oceans. For example, the rainfall unleashed by Hurricane Sandy over the mainland US left a volume equivalent to 1/10 the volume of Lake Ontario. Had a series of channels and pumping stations been in place to capture as much as possible that water could have been used to commence the filling of these channels. 1/10 of Lake Ontario is equivalent to 40 cubic miles. Even if 50% of the volume of Sandy were to have been captured, enough water could have been had to fill a canal that would run over 1/2 million miles in length, 20ft deep and 50ft wide, more than enough to fill what would be needed. Once filled all excess could be used in two stages. A drawn for use in the Midwest to replace waters currently being drawn from the Ogallala Aquifer and second to a new super lake built somewhere in the Colorado. This would allow the Ogallala to naturally recover to water levels (currently 50 ft deep and falling). It would also take pressure off the ecosystem. Rivers and reservoirs would also naturally recover.
Pipelines could also be established to pump in seawater from the oceans to the a desalination plant near the super lake to be converted to fresh water and then using the remaining brine to salt the roads in Colorado... Continued

Feb 13 2013: I just want to be clear, we are talking about excess flood waters triggered by excessive rain fall.
I do understand that water flows downstream but that is where locks and pumping stations come into play. Locks work like dams and in a channel size as I described are more than sufficient to do so.
The effort is a cumulative one requiring each state to make the effort to fill them. When an impending storm such as Sandy were to blow threw, the canals would be lowered to allow any flood waters to be diverted to the canal allowing them to fill.
I will offer a situation that I am familiar with. In southeast Quebec, the St Francois River floods each spring and every time a hurricane skims the east coast of Canada. The Saint t Francois leads into a series of lake and rivers that eventually lead to Lake Memphremagog which borders Vermont and Quebec. A canal could tap the waters of Lake Memphremagog on the Vermont side in order to gets its annual fill. That fill would easily be replaced by the spring flooding from the Saint Francois.
The flood waters from the Saint Francois would exceed the need to fill the less than 300 miles of canals that could effectively be built in that state with excess maybe used to help New York if needed.
And to give you a perspective of the volume of water needed to fill the canal? It is equivalent to the volume of fresh water consumed by NYC in a 10 day period.

Chicago's most competitive and coveted public schools could soon lose some of their academic luster.
FOX Chicago News has learned that regional magnet and gifted schools -- which each typically have three extra teachers--may lose one or two of them.
It's one of the unannounced cuts included in a painful budget-balancing plan unveiled Monday by Chicago Schools CEO Ron Huberman. He said many of the 1,200 teacher job cuts could be avoided .if union members agree to forgo a 4 percent raise that takes effect when class resumes.
Huberman said average high school class size would jump from 31 to 33.
Newly-elected Teachers Union president Karen Lewis told us she "did not want to talk" about rolling back the pay raise. She did note that teachers will soon face higher health insurance costs, effectively cutting their take home pay.

About Gaiam
History of Gaiam
Founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1988, Gaiam is a provider of information, goods and services to customers who value the environment, a sustainable economy, healthy lifestyles, alternative healthcare and personal development.
Gaiam's Name
Gaiam (pronounced "guy-um"), is a fusion of the words "Gaia" and "I am" Gaia, mother Earth, was honored on the Isle of Crete in ancient Greece 5,000 years ago by the Minoan civilization. This civilization valued education, art, science, recreation, and the environment and believed that the Earth was directly connected to its existence and daily life. The concept of Gaia stems from the ancient philosophy that the Earth is a living entity. At Gaiam, they believe that all of the Earth's living matter, air, oceans and land form an interconnected system that can be seen as a single entity. The word Gaiam represents planetary awareness, preservation and support of the interconnectivity of all living things. By nurturing, protecting and respecting the Earth, its natural resources and its inhabitants, we enrich our own lives and those of future generations.
Company Services
Gaiam offers the highest quality branded products and services available, many of which are exclusively produced for Gaiam.

Welcome to Comp Sci & Culture March/2013
For those of you that didn't know your designated Moderator(s) for Computer Science & Culture are:
General Guidelines
The following Guidelines has been simplified to try and make it easier on people that want to know what they shouldn't do in the forums. Obviously some things will not be mentioned but I'm hoping this generates a General system which can be appreciated for it's simplicity.
- NO SPAM/ADVERTS This means by bots and humans alike, anyone caught doing it will have the post removed and if they are a severe offender they will be permabanned.
- NO PORN/WAREZ/Promotion of Illegal Activities. This can't be helped it's a basic rule of the interweb to promote at least a little bit of clemency. Profanity does occur here (although it's suggested to try and refrain from it), apparently the English language has slowly been sliding into the toilet.
- NO RACISM/SEXISM/HOMOPHOBIA or other related HATE SPEECH This isn't allowed. I know you might assume the rest of the forum has it going on, however it shouldn't be here period. Especially no links to Images or Pages on the web that contain such material.
Caution: a Moderator can not test every link posted, it's not our responsibility to keep you safe, but we will edit/remove links that are a problem.
- NO TROLLING/CYBERSTALKING/FLAMING this can be repeated over and over again, some people just don't get it.
- NO PLAGIARISM don't cut and paste vast texts from somewhere and claim it to be yours. There is nothing worse than Intellectual Dishonesty (Well other than a number of Human Rights Violations)
- The Administration and Moderator(s) do the task of trying to keep this place shipshape through merging, deleting and moving of threads (occasionally deleting or editing of posts), we aren't here to enter into "Flaming/Pissing contests". If you don't like what a Moderator has done then there are some simple steps to take:
- Ask the Moderator Via PM to rethink their decision or ask what you can do to change their decision. It's possible some threads can be salvaged if worked on.
- If the Moderator isn't responding or is being rude, PM an Administrator and make you case known.
- The OPEN GOV forum is not meant for people to complain about moderators or state they are being treated unfairly. It will likely tar and feather you as a time waster.
A list of things that will likely get you banned:
- Insulting Moderators/Administrators or otherwise trying to undermine Sciforums.com as a community.
- Constantly Editing or Removing the posts you've made (The forums software attempts to deal with this situation with a rather rigid editing timeout)
- Undermining Moderator Deletions or Edits with Reposts of the same material. (If a Moderator has done something biased towards you, complain via PM to an Administrator)
- And obviously SPAM.
So with these guidelines in mind, Enjoy your time posting in the Computer Science & Culture section.

Officials with the Charleston County Sheriff's Office say they are investigating after another body was found in Mount Pleasant Wednesday evening.
At 5:30 p.m., deputies responded to the area of the 2500 block of Rifle Range Road in reference to a body found in the woodline.
Detectives and the Charleston County Coroner's Office are working to determine the identity of the deceased and the circumstances surrounding the death.
The sheriff's office says there is no indication that the incident is connected to the body found in the waterway in Mount Pleasant earlier on Wednesday.
In that case, police were called out to the Pitt Street Bridge after a fisherman reported a body floating in the water. That body has not been identified.

Shunning Amazon, Harry Potter eBooks get Google Books integration [Updated]
Summary: In what is probably the biggest eBook deal in a long time, Google says that ebook versions of the Harry Potter series will be integrated with Google Books. Should Amazon be worried?
J.K. Rowling's Pottermore effort has a new parter: Google Books.
Google has announced that it will be working with Rowling and Pottermore to bring the Harry Potter eBooks to consumers via the open Google Books platform. Once the books are purchased via Pottermore, customers will be able to store them on Google Books or transfer them to compatible devices running the Google Books app. (In case you had forgotten, Pottermore will have exclusive selling privileges to the eBooks.)
Worth $15 billion, the Harry Potter book series clearly holds considerable weight. So it's kind of a big deal that Rowling is bypassing book retailers and working with Google on getting the Harry Potter eBooks to customers.
Update: It looks like that deal with Amazon is on its way as well. "We're working closely with Pottermore to make sure Kindle customers will be able to buy and read J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books," said an Amazon spokesperson in an email. Might we get official word in the next few days?

Category: Draft Talk, Feelgoodery, Player Profiles
Are we having fun yet?!
The Milwaukee Bucks selected Giannis Antetokounmpo with the 15th pick in last night's NBA Draft. Antetokounmpo, a 6-9 forward from Nigeria via Greece, is unquestionably the biggest risk in the draft. He's 18-years-old, has never played at a level of basketball close to the NBA, and his arms are skinnier than John Henson's.
But did I mention his arms?! He has a 7-3 wingspan, is apparently still growing, and he has natural point guard skills. John Hammond believes he can contribute to the offense right away. However, we will need to wait and see if his presumed inability to instantly adjust to the speed of the NBA places him on the bench for most of the season.
So he has potential, clearly. If his game develops to where it's passable, his body will allow him to be special. Those arms are paired with hands so big I'm still not sure they're real and with the right coaching he could be special on defense. There's a reason he's called The Greek Freak. It'll just take a lot of time.
Antetokounmpo's standing reach (7'3) + Henson's standing reach (7'5) + Larry Sander's standing reach (7'5) = 22 feet and one inch aka nearly half the width of an NBA court.
Can you tell I'm excited? You should be, too! To help you get to my level of PUMPED UP FEELINGS, check out all of this stuff about Antetokounmpo. Get your t-shirt jerseys ready!
- In case you missed it, Jeremy wrote a great article about the Greek Freak pick this morning.
- Earlier this week, The New York Times wrote a feature on Antetokounmpo and his family's troubled past. It's a required read.
- At Draft Express, they did their normal player breakdown video:
- And footage from his time on the U20 Greek National team:
- I mentioned his hands:
- Andrew Sharp broke down Antetokounmpo and the other foreign players earlier in the week for Grantland. He compares Antetokounmpo to a Greek Josh Smith. Might as well get the real Smoove, too, now Mr. Kohl! (Just kidding. Please don't do that. I'm too happy right now.)
- Here's Antetokounmpo talking with Craig Sager last night. He's just as surprised as us.
- Jake McCormick at Brew Hoop wrote a good early reaction article with scouting reports last night.
- This interview makes him look even younger than 18. Impressive!
And that's it for now. More should come later in the day. Enjoy your Fridays. Have fun looking at Antetokounmpo's hands.

Love the Risk picture by the way. Common Hammond/Kohl. If you were to tank next year and got a high draft pick to go with our young core, I am pretty sure more people would be on board for a new stadium. I would watch every game next year just to see the potential. I mean, Milwaukee fans watch the summer league more than they do the regular season or the post season this past year for that very reason…potential.
its one year. You will make the same amount of money tanking next year with a cheap roster as you will with a mediocre team with a more expensive roster. Even the Celtics know when to blow it up
and they HAD better players than we WILL have if we go with the "Win now" thinking
And you think that the NBA is going to let Milwaukee get the #1 pick?
They did in 2005.
I just had a thought, for scenario sake, if we were to get wiggins who is a 6'8" SG next year, think about that lonnnng lineup:
SF:Greek Freak=6'9″
Did anybody else just crap their pants?
why do you think that with the Giannis pick that we are somehow tanking now?
Well its kind of wishful thinking but then again they maybe forced to. If they really want to develop this kid, they cant have some guy in his spot taking minutes from him by year 3. At the beginning..yes, but down the road…no. Certainly don't want to take minutes from Henson this year. So if Center/Power forward positions are gone, which small forward will want to sign for 2-3 years except maybe an old veteran(but probably not an impactful one is in the market). Only position left is guard and the best guard available after ellis leaves is JR Smith which i actually think he would help us lose games but not only that i don't think he will come here. Who's left? Howard, Paul, Jefferson, Smith, JR Smith, Ellis, Igudala, etc. Will they throw money at a bunch of scrubs? I guess we will find out next week
Giannis is nowhere near ready to contribute. He'll get some playing time, but if I had to guess I'd say around 12 mpg, and they probably won't be all that productive. He's an extremely raw talent who needs to work on some things, primarily getting stronger.
I think once Ellis walked Kohl took a look at things and realized we needed to take a different direction. Offering Jennings up prior to the draft in an effort to gain picks leads me to believe that might be the case. This pick was certainly not a "win now" pick, there were much more NBA ready players available. Giannis is probably going to take at least two years to be ready to start.
Tanking is a possibility. We're certainly not going to be very good with the team we have right now, even if we resign Jennings. Hopefully Kohl and company have realized that.
You do realize that it was impossible to float Jennings for picks right? He's an RFA, any deal involving Jennings would be a sign and trade in July.
this kid is so damn likeable.. just want to pinch his cheeks
Agreed I really like him as a person, can't wait til we trade him for a 2 month rental or Stephen Jackson 2.0
I'm going to be hosting a Bucks memorabilia bonfire after the trade. You're welcome to join.
On top of this, if we could somehow get Gal Mekel that would be awesome!!! Dont extend to Jennings. It's been a great 4 yrs, but its time…

Customized Ring for "K.D."
Over the weekend while I was answering emails, doing other work related stuff (but not related to the PBRs), I came across this email. A while back someone emailed me asking to put an emerald topaz in the ring, which required modifications as you'll soon see. They bought a matching ring box to go with it.
I want to let you know that I really appreciate the creativity and excellent quality of the ring that you have crafted for me. When I first saw this ring on facebook, I knew that it would be really special to my girlfriend. I know it has taken quite a while of back and forth emailing all of the details to finalize the ring. I really appreciate your patience, and even more, I am super happy that it came out so good. I want you to know that I am doing all I can to promote you and your business, and just really am enamored with this ring. I proposed to my girlfriend with this ring, because she is a huge Dr. Who fan (her family is also really into it) and I scored some major points for that, but it wouldn't have been possible without you having this ring as a possibility in the first place. Thank you for making this a possibility :) Here are a few pictures to go along with how it was presented, and how it looks.

College presidents should receive competitive pay for the work they do. But it's hard to determine how much is too much — or, put another way, when a university's trustees are going overboard in lavishing money and perks on the president. Well-established universities tend to justify raising the salaries of their chief executives based on their fat endowments and generous fund-raising numbers. Up-and-coming universities often reward their presidents for jumps in their annual rankings. But even less-respected institutions can justify paying through the teeth for a top manager based on their need for quick improvement.
Unfortunately, it all adds up to higher-than-inflation raises for private college and university heads, while students are getting buried under increasing debt. The link between the president's compensation and tuition is tenuous at best, but in a time of great student anxiety over finances, colleges and universities must show restraint.

A Shreveport teen is the city's latest murder victim, and a suspect is behind bars.Police found the victim with a gunshot wound to the stomach in the 800 block of Turner Lane in the Cedar Grove section of Shreveport.17-year-old Demarcus Jones was reportedly shot Thursday night while visiting friends at the home.
On Friday night, 17-year-old Almetric Curry of Shreveport, accompanied by members of his family, arrived at Shreveport Police headquarters and surrendered to authorities without incident. Detectives with the Shreveport Police Department's Violent Crimes Unit were able to gather information linking Curry with Jones' death.
Following interviews with investigators, Curry was subsequently booked into the Shreveport City Jail, where he was charged with a single count of negligent homicide.
"My heart dropped. We didn't know what had happened," said Roshanda Caldwell, Jones' aunt. Not only is the family feeling grief from the loss, they're also feeling confused, as they try to understand exactly what happened, and what led up to the incident that took the teen's life. Some family members say they've been told by witnesses it was an accident. Other family members were told that the shooting followed a dispute.
Witnesses tell police they heard one gunshot then heard Jones say he'd been shot. His family tells KSLA News 12 they left the hospital around 4 a.m. and spent the entire morning searching for answers and talking to Jones' friends who were at the house at the time of the incident.
"We want the God's honest truth to come out because our boy was a sweet boy, he wasn't a bad guy. He was very loving of his nieces and to his family and it's just heart wrenching," said Caldwell.
Anyone with any additional information on this case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 318-673-7373.

Titled Showdown, it looks take the less serious route, and go for more destruction. As seen from this trailer, it looks like it will focus more on Destruction Derby's rather than straight up races. If anything is for certain though, Codemasters knows how to develop a fun racing game, and I'm sure they can deliver the same great quality and experience they have been providing their fans with their past entries.

continuing with the music theme, let's look at roxanne. for those of you not familiar, she's the subject of the police's song roxanne. she is a hooker and it's about a man who's in love with her and saying the hooking part of her life is over. the song is posted below for your enjoyment. she's actually not the first hooker to show up on textbook either, lady marmalade is around here somewhere. anyway, this one was pretty interesting because it's kind of hard to look at clothes and ask yourself, "would a hooker walk the streets in this?" although i would say that this roxanne would've been the best dressed streetwalker on the corner. lots of short dresses, fur and crazy shoes to be seen.1: roxanne, you don't have to put on that red light: dress by balmain, fur by isabel marant, boots by burberry prorsum2: you don't have to sell your body to the night: dress by elie saab, shoes by proenza schouler3: you don't have to wear that dress tonight: dress by carlos miele, fur by balmain, shoes by givenchy
Crazily stylish hooker.
roxanne is my mother's name. auto-reblog, right?
who said hookers don't have good style? but seriously…i'm drooling over the gold dress…ahmazing

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but one of the coolest parts of my job is being able to swing by editorial and see new pages as they come in. Just last night, I swung by TITANS Editor Brian Cunningham's base of operations to get a glimpse of artist Fabrizio Fiorentino's TITANS: VILLAINS FOR HIRE work.
Only Bill Willingham and Jesus Merino know, folks, and things aren't looking good. The Nazis have succeeded and taken over America, which is leading to the scheduled executions of all the U.S.'s major heroes and villains. Can Mr. Terrific figure out a way to turn the Darkness Engine against the villains? We'll see...
As Nightwing & Flamebird wrap up their run in next week's ACTION COMICS #889, we wanted to give them a truly dynamite final cover, so we contacted the talented Alex Garner, and he delivered this gorgeous piece of work!
Have you heard the news? Today Cartoon Network announced not one, but two new shows sure to bring a smile to regular readers of THE SOURCE. Here's the skinny:
You read that headline right, folks. Newly-announced AZRAEL writer David Hine kicks off "Beneath the Mask" in the pages of DETECTIVE COMICS. It's Black Mask vs. Jeremiah Arkham for control of the asylum. But what of the enigmatic Three Beauries, and how does Batman fit in?
The final battle lines between New Krypton and Earth are being drawn, and writers James Robinson and Sterling Gates team with artist Pete Woods for an epic throwdown that leads directly to WAR OF THE SUPERMEN #0 on FREE COMIC BOOK DAY.
Straight from the pages of TITANS, Starfire joins our merry band just in time for super-genius Vril Dox to pick up the pieces from last issue's climactic battle with Starro the Conqueror. First on his agenda: rebuild his interplanetary police squad, L.E.G.I.O.N. Courtesy of writer Tony Bedard and artist Claude St. Aubin.
Starting today, the Spirit returns in an all-new ongoing series from writer Mark Schultz and artist Moritat. Central City destroys everyone who lives within its borders, so it's a good thing The Spirit's already experienced being dead, huh?

GENERIC NAME: etanercept
BRAND NAME: Enbrel
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Etanercept is an injectable drug that is used for treating rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and plaque psoriasis. It works by blocking tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha). Other drugs that block TNF alpha include adalimumab (Humira), certolizumab (Cimzia), golimumab (Simponi), and infliximab (Remicade).
TNF alpha is a protein that the body produces during when there is inflammation, the body's reaction to injury. TNF alpha promotes inflammation and its associated fever and signs (pain, tenderness, and swelling) in several inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Etanercept is a synthetic (man-made) protein that binds to TNF alpha. It thereby acts like a sponge to remove most of the TNF alpha from the joints and blood. This prevents TNF alpha from promoting inflammation and the fever, pain, tenderness, and swelling of joints in patients with rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Etanercept prevents the progressive destruction of the joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and the arthritis of psoriasis. The FDA approved etanercept in November 1998.
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
PREPARATIONS: 25 mg multiple use vial; 25 or 50 mg prefilled syringe; 50 mg prefilled autoinjector.
STORAGE: Sterile powder and pre-filled syringes should be refrigerated at 2-8 C (36-46 F). Reconstituted solutions made from the powder should be used as soon as possible but may be stored in the vial at 2-8 C (36-46 F) for 14 days.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Etanercept is used as primary treatment to reduce the pain, swelling, and tenderness of joints resulting from moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis in adults. It also may be used when rheumatoid arthritis has not adequately responded to other drugs (called disease-modifying drugs for rheumatoid arthritis). For example, etanercept can be used in combination with methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall) in patients who do not respond adequately to methotrexate alone.
Etanercept also is used to reduce the signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active, polyarticular-course, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in children who have had an inadequate response to one or more disease-modifying drugs.
Etanercept is approved for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and plaque psoriasis. It can prevent the progressive destruction of joints and improve physical function with psoriatic arthritis.
Etanercept is not recommended for persons with preexisting disease of the central nervous system (brain and/or spinal cord) or for those with multiple sclerosis, myelitis, or optic neuritis.
DOSING: Etanercept is injected under the skin.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Because etanercept may reduce the response of the immune system, etanercept should not be administered with live vaccines. Combining etanercept with anakinra (Kineret) or abatacept (Orencia), drugs that also reduce the response of the immune system may increase the risk of serious infections.

I spent an hour with new Thrashers GM Rick Dudley this fine Saturday for a feature that will appear later this week. His journey to the NHL is an extremely interesting story. You can read about it later this week, but I will leave you with one tidbit. Dudley once appeared on the game show To Tell The Truth as a two-sport professional athlete (hockey and lacrosse). He stumped the panel.
The Thrashers have been preparing all week for the upcoming draft with the scouting team in Duluth for hours of meetings, one of which I interrupted for the interview.
I asked about the coaching search. He again said to me that he is in no hurry to make a hire. However, he has sought permission from four NHL teams to speak to people in their organization about the Thrashers vacancy. He gave no names, but when pressed told me that three of the potential candidates are currently still in the playoffs. He believes the correct practice is to wait until those teams have been eliminated from the playoffs before doing an interview.
The organization – meaning Dudley and assistant GM Larry Simmons – have begun reaching out to several of the 10 unrestricted free agents. Dudley said for the right price he'd like to have them all back - except for Slava Kozlov. A long shot to return is Mark Popovic. If Pavel Kubina is re-signed, that gives the Thrashers six top defensemen with Boris Valabik returning from injury. A player like Arturs Kulda will get a looooong look in training camp and a chance to make the team.
Several other prospects will get a real chance as well. Dudley mentioned Patrice Cormier (who he sees as a second or third liner), Spencer Machacek, Ivan Vishnevskiy and Paul Postma by name. "We have to give our young players a real look," Dudley said.
Of the unrestricted free agents that Dudley said the team has begun to talk to their representation are Kubina, Colby Armstrong, Maxim Afinogenov, Johan Hedberg, Jim Slater and Eric Boulton. He said they have not yet talked to Evgeny Artyukhin. I will be making some calls to stay on top of potential signings.
Those are some of the highlights from the interview.
It sure is good to get a hockey blog posted. I have covered several Braves games since the season ended and, no offense, but baseball is a slow game. I haven't forgotten the several season-ending interviews I still have to get posted as well. Now that the house and yard are in order and Mrs. Vivlamore is happy, I will get to them.

Ah, man…I saw the headline, and I thought this blog was about Woody.
May 8th, 2010
6:22 pm
Agree, Chris. Baseball is a slow game. Which is good for that game, the players couldn't possibly play 9 out of 10 days for six months at anything approaching the intensity of hockey. They sit in the dugout for half the game. Baseball has it's moments but it's largely no longer for me.
Thanks for the update. Dudley said about what I expected from him at this point. The playoffs are ongoing, our RFA/UFAs are engaged in doing whatever each of them does when the season ends…like family matters, vacationing, traveling to the home country, etc. Duds is waiting on coaches to be available, talking to his agents, scouting young players, meeting about the draft…all like you said.
All indications as I see them at the momment seem to say Dudley really is content on:
- resigning the players you mentioned
- keeping our higher draft picks unless someone won't take no for an answer which will then cost them dearly
- bringing Kulda and Cormier to camp with the expectation of them making the team
- giving the other youngsters a good look to see if someone plays surprisingly well
- make a FA signing or a trade for a top 6 forward(s) and possibly a goalie. All depending on getting out FAs signed, of course.
Really, it's too early to tell but that's my guess.
May 8th, 2010
6:25 pm
Oh, Chris, Rawhide has a draft blog out. I'm sure you have one upcoming but until then, do you have any personal preferences on who or what position you'd like Dudley to draft?
May 8th, 2010
6:28 pm
Nice work Chris-was afraid the kudzu got ya! Looking forward to the player interviews, also any info from the other side of the table in regards to our FA negotiations would be great. Keep up the good work and see you @ the Draft thinger.

Dudley may indeed be talking to 'his' agents but it should read talking to the players' agents. Sorry.

Welcome back Viv …. But I hope that the Organization doesn't consider Valabik a top 6 defensemen. Never has been and never will be.
May 9th, 2010
12:18 am
I've love to privately ask Dudley who he sees as "trade bait" at the draft, to try to elevate our draft positions in the 1st round. What? I've love to move up to 3rd or 4th from 8th, and to 19th from 25th, if possible.
May 9th, 2010
8:27 am
Why do we want back the same people we could not win with this past season and others before that ?
May 9th, 2010
10:10 am
I just hope Donnie boy keeps his nose out of it. Let Duds do what he was hired to do
May 9th, 2010
10:42 am
Dunno, Brendan, if moving up to 3rd or 4th is realistic. Just like Dudley indicates someone moving up to the 8 spot will cost them a tangible asset(s) – a player, not just a pick(s) – we would very likely have to give up better player & pick to move up 3-5 spots. Plus, aren't those spots are projected as defensemen (I left my draft lists at work). While any team always needs more defenseman, I would look to target one on the FA/trade market for immediate help rather than the years of development time usually required for defennsemen. What level d-man Duds might need to go after depends on getting Kubina signed or not. Obviously, the same situation applies on the forward side…for example, does Max sign or not?
However, with the Thrash owners almost certainly not spending to the cap, the plan may well be to bring back most everybody from last season, add a FA forward, bring in Kulda and Cormier and bank on the real difference being playing better, smarter hockey as directed by the as yet to be hired coaching staff. That includes bringing in a top goalie coach as Dudley has said he will do.
That's the way I see it based on Dudleys comments to date and Viv's information that they are talking to, or plan to talk to, everyone's agent except Kozlov with the intent to resign them. And it's pretty easy to see Pops being replaced by Kulda. Valabik going in some trade? Could be, if Dudley has decided he won't ever help more than he hurts.
Sooo…If the bring back the team with better coaching model is really the plan, then Dudley will draft the best players he can get for help in a year or two and then maybe add a FA piece or two or via a trade. This is the Thrashers so the pieces probably won't be major unless players like Kubina, Max, Army don't stay.
May 9th, 2010
11:13 am
Dudley's a smart man. Good to have him in da booth.
May 9th, 2010
1:44 pm
It will be interesting to see who Donny ultimately signs off on related to both coaching and personnel decisions for the upcoming year…After all, when we continue to languish and "Duds" is unceremoniously fired about three years from now, it will be Donny to the rescue, yet again.
He does have ten years of experience at the position…Incompetence does count as experience, apparently, to the buffoonish ownership group.
As you 'should' know by now, it all starts at the top. Thus, this hockey club is destined to fail.
May 9th, 2010
9:51 pm
Kracker, it probably isn't realistic. I just like to be optimistic. I'm actually fine with drafting at 8th. There still should be good talent on the table. I just hope we don't trade down again, like in 2005. If the pick is traded for a player, he's got to have 4-5 years left on that contract.
Well, I'm 0-1 in the only series that has concluded. That means I'm 6-3, through 9 completed series. Looks like Vancouver will survive to fight another day. Their ownership must be thrilled to be making another $2 million in pure profit by hosting Game Six.
May 9th, 2010
10:37 pm
Before I leave the subject of the San Jose Sharks entirely, I am truly surprised the Sharks have advanced into the CF. Good for them, I suppose. It's their 2nd trip to the CF since 2004. In most people's book, that's pretty good success. But they've noticeably underachieved since 2004. A lot is riding on this season, out in San Jose. They got past the Kings, and now Detroit, and they await the Vancouver-Chicago winner. The Sharks have never been to the Stanley Cup Finals. They came into the league in 1991. It was a LONNNNG inaugural season, that ended in 17 wins and 39-points. In those days, they played 80 games in the regular season. In 1993 and 1994, the NHL played 84 games. Believe it or not, San Jose actually managed to do WORSE in their 2nd season, with 84 games played. They finished with eleven (11) wins and only 24-points, along with a WHOPPING 71 losses, an NHL record. If memory serves me correctly, the Sharks had only one (1) regulation time road win in the 1992-93 campaign, and that occurred in their final road game of the season.
Think about that, folks. The Thrashers, even at their WORST, during the Curt Fraser years, never had a season that bad. Oh, yes. Sure. They did have a 39-point season in the inaugural season. But San Jose redefined "pathetic" in their early years. But, here they are, in their 18th season, in the midst of their "prosperity years." Since 2004, the Sharks have only failed to make the 2nd round ONCE, last year, with the stunning defeat by Anaheim, in a President's Trophy winning season. In 23 playoff series, the Sharks are 11-12. That's pretty respectable, really. The Sharks own two playoff series victories over Detroit, Nashville, Calgary, and St. Louis in their postseason history. My earliest memory of them in the playoffs, was 1994. I was actually living in Europe at the time, desperately trying to get NHL highlights. I saw Owen Nolan hit the crossbar, in overtime, of Game Six against Toronto. At the time, SJ led the series, 3-2, and would have won the series with an overtime winner. Toronto won the OT, then took Game Seven. It would have sent the Sharks into the CF against the Vancouver Canucks. (The Rangers won the Cup that year, in one of the best Finals ever played, to end 54-years of drought.)
Ummn, Brendan? Your point? Well, chuckling, it's that no matter HOW PATHETIC you might see the Thrashers, now or in the past, it's possible to get it all turned-around, at some point in the future. I long for the day … when we all have a GOOD, HEARTY CHUCKLE over the "Waddell Years," and just how dreadful they really were. That day will come. I think we could be on our way to looking and acting and behaving like a real NHL franchise should. If Dudley's in charge, the "minor league habitus" that surrounded this team will be gone. The proof of which will be that UFA's actually choose Atlanta as their intended destination of choice. Certainly, Atlanta signed Todd White to a 4-year deal in 2007 and Ron Hainsey to a 5-year deal, in 2008. I'm not too sure if White and Hainsey had Atlanta in mind when they hit the open market. But, tier II free agents will also be available on July 2nd and 3rd. When I think of "traditional hockey markets," I don't think of San Jose, California. I don't think of Anaheim, either. I don't think of Nashville, TN, nor Raleigh, NC, nor Tampa Bay, FL. And yet, the 'Canes and Ducks and Bolts own Stanley Cup titles, and SJ is knockin' on the door. I still see the Thrashers engaged in a 4-year building "process." I'm fine with that. Let's just hope nothing stupid happens at the draft.
May 10th, 2010
6:51 am
Some people say: "Oh, the 8th pick is worth nothing!" But take Niclas Bergfors for an answer, Lord knows what pick he was, but probably around the 20's, and in my opinion, has been better than Kane when he got here, and Kane was the number 4 pick! So our eigth pick could be something to hold on to.
May 10th, 2010
7:28 am
Summer optimism always works for me, Brendan. Nice comparison of the first decade or so of the Sharks and the Thrashers. It gives one hope.
May 10th, 2010
7:40 am
Lee: There's a big flaw in your logic. Bergfors may have been a rookie, but he's 23 years old. Kane is 18. Let's give him five more years, and then see how he's performing…

May 10th, 2010

Yep, the Thrashers have the worst uniforms in the league, but I can tell you they won't change them because the same idiots who yell "Knights!" during the National Anthem love them. Go figure.

Brendan –
As a Sharks fan, loved your post about how Atlanta should have some hope for their team going forward. I remember those first couple of years for the Sharks (in the Cow Palace, sheesh!)…and it is so nice now to enjoy the team we have (previous playoff disappointments aside). Hopefully Atlanta will do the same (and with the young players you have now, there certainly should be optimism). A couple of points:
1) If we had drafted players the caliber of Heatley/Kovalchuk in the franchise's first couple of years (instead of Falloon/Rathje), we might have enjoyed better earlier seasons as the Thrashers did.
2) As someone still haunted by that crossbar shot in OT of Game 6 against Toronto, it was actually Johan Garpenlov who took the shot. Owen Nolan did not show up until a couple of years later. I don't know what was worse…the crossbar or the weak sharp angle goal from Gartner that won it for Toronto. I was only a kid and it still makes me sad.
Cheers to Thrashers fans…
May 10th, 2010
3:11 pm
…and if San Jose had a lisping, bumbling, buffoon of a GM like Don Waddell, they would be embarking on their third "Five-Year Plan" without a playoff victory…all the while with sheep making excuse after excuse for his, umm, "performance"…
Oh well, with ownership proven to be what it is, I may as well become a Sharks fan..
May 10th, 2010

They still play hockey in ATL? How bout that.
May 10th, 2010

Great idea there Sage! Do us all a favor and follow through on that statement of becoming a Sharks fan.
May 10th, 2010
4:05 pm
Considering the crazy jedi mind tricks that Doug Wilson has used to fleece Boston out of Thornton and Ottawa out of Heatley…sounds like Waddell should ask him some advice.
May 10th, 2010
10:49 pm
MW, I enjoyed your post, as well. Thank you for correction on Johan Garpenlov as the shot taker. I think Garpenlov wound up in Atlanta in 1999. That name sounds familiar. I was very happy that the NHL awarded a team to San Jose. I thought they'd make a fine rival for the L.A. Kings. Of course, the much closer Anaheim Ducks, would be the Kings new primary rivals. When the league unveiled the Sharks logo and uniforms, I remember that there was a tremendously positive reaction to it. I was living in Europe, and I'd see tourists wearing the Sharks uniform. When I got back stateside, I was surprised to see some many kids wearing San Jose coats and jackets, on the East Coast. But teal is a popular color, and a Shark is quite a menacing mascot. Much moreso than "a harmless, little brown bird." Actually, I heard the new Georgia state bird is a chicken now. Is that right? The Atlanta Chickens?? Atlanta poultry processors? Their slogan could be, "We hire aliens." I tease. I kid. I do that sometime.
MW, don't be a stranger, as SJ continues into the CF, and potentially beyond. I'm not much of a Heatley fan, but I like the rest of the Sharks.
Kracker, I think now is a GREAT TIME for optimism. If R.Stroz is correct, that money is fungible, perhaps the money NOT SPENT on Joe Johnson and Ilya Kovalchuk could wind up in the payroll of the Thrashers.
May 11th, 2010

Actually, I heard the new Georgia state bird is a chicken now. Is that right?
No. A couple of cluckheads out in Augusta proposed the idea. It hasn't quite taken off.

Thanks for the post. Actually, with regard to the "harmless little brown bird" logo, I actually bought a Thrashers home jersey (well…the whites that USED to be the home jerseys) to wear in my hockey league not long after they came into the league. I think the jersey and logo look slick.
I definitely follow the Thrashers in the Eastern Conference, largely because you guys seem to be in the same position the Sharks were in 10 years or so into their existence…floating around the final playoff seed looking to break through. I will definitely be pulling for your GM to work some magic and get you guys some consistent playoff appearances. Doesn't seem like they are TOO far off…
May 11th, 2010
12:18 pm
For what it's worth department: Dudley was one nasty indoor box-lacrosse player years back playing for the Rochester Griffins. He literally tossed guys like rag dolls – - fun to watch. They want the Championshipo with his leadership! Based on this that I'd say he's going to want more guys like Cormier…
May 11th, 2010
12:19 pm
Thanks MW. We need all the help we can possibly get in Atlanta. My favorite Thrasher jersey is the white one, with the bird wing, holding the hockey stick. I always liked that uniform. The colors and design are nice. I also liked the "retro" one, which was the shoulder patch in the middle, with red down the shoulders and sleeve, with the traditional log as the shoulder patch. I never did much care for the powder blue jerseys and Thursday game "red" jerseys, neither of which I own. I stick with the two from 1999.
If only a Thrasher bird were a manacing mascot.
May 11th, 2010
4:19 pm
Perusing hockey news ay work and yahoo is reporting Cormier is being criminally charged and could face up to 18 months in jail..Not something you want to see in a top prospect.
As to the unforms, I actually like the powder blue ones (prepares to recieve thrown stones). The logo is the same as the white (my second favorite), and I think the Atlanta down the sleeve is pretty cool. I abhored the old batman jersey, nor for the new red jersey.

WTF is Waddell doing at the World Championships in Germany?????????
Comparing notes on ticket prices with DEL presidents? Considering selling logo space on Thrashers unis? Seeing how far his US dollars will get him versus the declining Euro?
I think not. Get his sorry-ass, incompetent, franchise-fouling rear end out of hockey rinks worldwide. I don't give a rat's ass about his opinion on ANY hockey player, anywhere. Neither should Dudley.
This is reaaaaalllllly pissing me off now. I'm now seriously considering reinstating the boycott I had just lifted after Waddell was removed as GM. If he shows up anywhere near the draft table it's definetly on again. Just when we thought it was safe to return to Blueland again, DW pulls this crap.

Still waiting for the sheep to keep trying to "sell" me that it's a "new day" in Thrashersland…
Sure it is–if that helps you medicate yourself…maybe if you click your heels and spin around three times that will help, too?
This is one organization destined for failure, pure and simple. Whoever can't see it is blind–or willfully ignorant…Both work as good excuses, I'm sure…
May 12th, 2010
1:35 pm
People will find anything to complain about these days. The new GM hasn't made one decision yet, and people are still whining about Waddell.
So what. He's in Germany. I hope he stays there.

A good coach will be the difference for the Thrashers this year. My first choice as I mentioned numerous times before would be Craig MacTavish but if the Thrashers wanted to get a coach on the cheap, I'd try to get Kirk Muller or John Maclean.
May 13th, 2010
10:03 am
Hey Kracker. Wake up.
I think if you'll check the real gate receipts of the last two years (as opposed to the announced attendance figures that includes numerous comps), the numbers were down by several thousand, not just "one." I wouldn't have said another word about Waddell, and was actually looking way past his nightmare regime, when he starts poking his head back in player-evaluation situations.
I worked for the New Jersey Devils for three years and for 10 other NHL teams' hockey departments for another six years, and I know the role of a team President vs. a Director of Player Personnel, Area Scout, GM, Assistant GM, Pro Scout, Amateur Scout, etc….Presidents (without a shared GM title) are supposed to run the business operations (Marketing, PR, Ticket Sales, Accounting, Season Ticket Relations, etc…), not show up at major championships, junior rinks, rookie camps, etc….
If Waddell is no longer in a player personnel evalutation role, he picked a poor way of demonstrating it by having the PR department publicly state that he couldn't be reached for comment on the Cormier situation because "he was at the World Championships in Germany." I want to root for this team as hard as you, Brendan and the others, but the guy who personally guided this team into the toilet is clearly still performing his amateur plumbing – and not even attempting to hide this fact.
I'll stop bringing up Waddell as soon as he stops his tinkering in the clubs' hockey operations.
May 13th, 2010
10:18 am
Hey Viv, see if you can get a straight answer from Duds or an owner on the purpose of Waddell's presence at the World Championships, and more importantly on a definition of his new role, especially as it relates to the club's Hockey Department.. Does Dudley report to Waddell? Is Waddell directly or indirectly involved in player personnel decisions? What will Waddell be doing at this year's Entry Draft? Will he attend? Why? Presidents typically do show up at Entry Drafts for the PR exposure and executive-junket perk value. Will this be the case wtih DW in LA (purported destination of Kovy if he doesn't join his boy Slava in the KHL)? Thanks.

They blamed the government for failing to test the whole program and making last-minute changes days before the launch.
Now, many are calling for Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to resign. And they want to know who made the call to require people to register before they could even browse for insurance?
Fox's Chris Wallace joined "Good Day Philadelphia" on Friday morning to talk about the testimony and who his guests will be Sunday morning on Fox News Sunday.
Join FOX 29's Mike Jerrick and the Good Day Philadelphia team for a tasty night of yummy treats benefiting local youth.

text: It is not yet known if Brian Boyle and/or Brandon Dubinsky will be able to play in Game One for the Rangers. Should one or both be out of the lineup to injury, how much will it affect the Blueshirts today? If they had to play without both, could the Rangers still beat the Caps in Game 1?

References:We often focus on the physical suffering of Christ. But was there more to His crucifixion than that? Dr. Michael Youssef explains.
The book of Joshua contains some of the most compelling and relevant truths for your life today. It's the story of "trembling heroes"—people filled with fear who overcame those fears and accomplished the impossible through reliance on God.
In Leading The Way Through Joshua, Michael Youssef translates the challenges Joshua and the nation of Israel faced into challenges you will find familiar.
The sound teaching, vibrant stories, and brisk conversational style of this book will motivate you to step up, to be strong and courageous, to obey God, and to go wherever He sends you. The results will be a life more exciting and more fulfilling than you have ever dreamed possible.
