Unemployed former Clippers
With Saturday's deadline fast approaching when all NBA contracts are guaranteed for the remainder of the season, the general managers of every NBA team not only are scrutinizing their own rosters but keeping a watch out for players that they might have coveted in the past who end up on the waiver list.
That was the unfortunate fate this week of two former Clippers, who once were lottery picks, and considered future stars in the league. Now, forward Darius Miles and guard Shaun Livingston are on the outside looking in, while players that never were considered to be their caliber, are collecting NBA checks.
The 27-year old Miles was plucked, by the Clippers, right out of East St. Louis High (Ill.) back in the 2000 NBA draft, with the third-overall pick. Four years later, the Clippers used their first-round pick to select Livingston with the fourth-overall pick, from Peoria Central High (Ill.).
It is safe to say that neither player came close to realizing the potential that had been predicted from them.
It is possible that both of these players won't stay unemployed long. Miles was waived by the Memphis Grizzlies, who might re-sign him to a 10-day contract. Weep not for Miles, however. He will get every bit of the $18 million that he was owed by the Portland Trail Blazers for this season and next year.
Miles was waived last year by the Blazers, after independent doctors ruled that he no longer was physically capable of playing again. But Miles, who sat out the previous two years after undergoing micro-fracture knee surgery, diligently rehabilitated last summer and received a training camp invitation last October from the Boston Celtics.
Although Miles was the team's final cut, he received a great recommendation from the Celtics' staff, which led to Memphis signing him last month.
As for the now 23-year old Livingston, a catastrophic left knee injury suffered nearly two years ago, caused him to miss the entire 2007-2008 season and resulted in the Clippers renouncing their rights to him this past summer.
The Heat signed Livingston to a partially-guaranteed contract for just over the veteran's minimum, cognizant of the likelihood that he would not be able to contribute until the second half of this season. There is speculation that the guard-starved Phoenix Suns could be interested in him.
The Lakers, who have a vacant roster spot, would be an ideal situation for Livingston. Guard Jordan Farmar won't be back until after the All-Star break, at the earliest, as he recovers from knee surgery. Guard Sasha Vujacic has been playing through aches and pains, and tonsillitis.
During the 2005-2006 Western Conference semi-final playoff round, between the Clippers and the Suns, Livingston was a catalyst in the Clippers nearly ousting Phoenix in a tense seven-game series.

MIKE BONNER PHOTOS Rerouted

Above: State Highway Patrol troopers R.D. Manly, left, and R.F. Dye direct traffic after construction crews blocked off the two southbound lanes of Interstate 85 Sunday morning as they demolished part of the S.C. Highway 290 overpass.
Although they had planned to stop cars for 20-minute periods, the traffic was light enough at times that cars could be rerouted across the on- and off-ramps. Harold Fulmer, superintendent for United Contractors Inc., said traffic backed up for about three-quarters of a mile at the busiest times of the morning. Fulmer said the work will continue next week on the beams that span the northbound lanes. Left: Construction worker Danny Houston cuts the rebar reinforcement on the S.C. Highway 290 overpass. The work is part of a project to widen S.C. 290 between Duncan and Reidville. The road will be nine lanes wide where it crosses I-85. Fulmer said the state requires that all work involving the closing of an interstate be done on Sunday mornings when traffic is light. 290CUT

I am an electrical engineer but I love to code and I managed to learn few languages (and to use them to build useful stuff) and I did it all in my own since I learned coding using tutos and books.
This is good to have some knowledge of the vocabulary, but not to learn good programming practices.
But thanks to sites like Github, I now have access to a lot of good quality code used to build popular open source software and which is very well commented, as well.
Do you think, as experienced (and, probably, professional) programmers and developers, this is a good way to improve my skills ?
P.S. : Please do NOT close this question for being debatable because, as far as I am aware of, almost all Human knowledge is debatable. Thanks, again ;)

A Bandpass Loudspeaker Enclosure
A loudspeaker enclosure whose acoustic response has a second order bandpass filter characteristic is described. The theoretical tradeoff between bandwidth, efficiency, and box volume is given. It is shown that when the system is fed through a suitable first order bandpass electrical filter, a third order acoustical bandpass characteristic can be achieved which is of practical value in certain subwoofer applications.

Six men and three women will receive honorary degrees in Harvard's 353rd Commencement Exercises this morning, including Kofi Annan, who will speak at the Commencement Afternoon Exercises
Kofi Annan
Beginning in 1962, he has held a succession of important posts within the UN system and has played significant roles in UN operations in Ethiopia, Iraq, and the former Yugoslavia. He served as assistant secretary-general for Peacekeeping Operations and as undersecretary-general. Elected to his first term as secretary-general in 1997, Annan was elected to a second term in 2001 and will serve until 2006.
Annan's priorities as secretary-gen-eral have been to revitalize the United
Nations through a comprehensive program of reform; to strengthen the organization's traditional work in the areas of development and the maintenance of international peace and security; to encourage and advocate human rights, the rule of law and the universal values of equality, tolerance, and human dignity as expressed in the United Nations Charter; and to restore public confidence in the organization by reaching out to new partners and, in his words, by "bringing the United Nations closer to the people."
On Dec. 10, 2001, the secretary-general and the United Nations received the Nobel Peace Prize. In conferring the prize, the Nobel Committee said Annan "had been pre-eminent in bringing new life to the organization." In also conferring the prize on the world body, the committee said that it wished "to proclaim that the only negotiable road to global peace and cooperation goes by way of the United Nations."
Margaret Atwood is an acclaimed and award-winning writer of poetry, criticism, short fiction, and novels. Among her 30-plus books are the Booker Prize-winning
Atwood's novels often turn on themes of gender and politics, with heavy feminist and mythological themes. With a wry humor, she probes the lives of "everywoman" and plies the tools of social realism, myth, satire, parody, and poetry. Her work has been published in more than 30 languages.
Born in Canada and a current resident of Toronto, Atwood received her B.A. from the University of Toronto and her master's from Radcliffe College. She has taught or served as writer-in-residence at a variety of universities in Canada and around the world, including the University of Toronto, the University of British Columbia, the University of Alabama, New York University, and Macquarie University, Australia. She is a former president of the Writers' Union of Canada and of International P.E.N., Canadian Centre.
Atwood has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and honorary degrees from Oxford University, Cambridge University, the University of Toronto, Université de Montréal, and Smith College, among others. She received the Centennial Medal from Harvard University in 1990 and the Radcliffe Medal in 2003.
J. Michel Bishop, University Professor and Chancellor at the University of California, San Francisco, shared the 1989 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He won it with Harold Varmus for their work on cancer genetics.
Bishop was born in rural Pennsylvania, and educated at Gettysburg College and
In 1968, Bishop moved to the University of California, San Francisco, and has been there ever since. He was joined by Harold Varmus in 1970, and together they explored the origin of tumors. This research led to the discovery of oncogenes, normal genes that can be converted to cancer genes as a result of genetic damage. Their work provided a foundation for new strategies for the detection and treatment of cancer.
Bishop was appointed to the National Cancer Advisory Board by President Clinton in 1994, and served as chair of that board from 1997 to 2000. He served on the Board of Overseers for Harvard University and is presently a member of the Advisory Council for the director of the National Institutes of Health. He has also been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Bishop continues to teach medical students and has been recognized for his efforts to increase public understanding of science. He has authored more than 300 research papers and reviews, including the book "How to Win the Nobel Prize: An Unexpected Life in Science."

Born in 1945, in a suburb of Cincinnati and raised by a devoted single mother
Her emergence from the corps de ballet came about in true "42nd Street" fashion when the principal female dancer of a new ballet choreographed by the legendary George Balanchine became pregnant and dropped out. The male dancer Jacques D'Amboise believed Farrell could learn the role and convinced Balanchine to give her a chance.
Balanchine not only gave her a chance, he featured her in ballet after ballet. Except for an interruption of a few years when Farrell left to dance in Brussels, their partnership continued until Balanchine's death in 1982.
Among the many dances that Balanchine created for Farrell were "Meditation," "Don Quixote," "Vienna Waltzes," "Walpurgisnacht Ballet," and "Mozartiana." Farrell gave her last public performance with the New York City Ballet in 1989. Joan Acocella, dance writer for The New Yorker, reflected the opinion of most dance enthusiasts when she called Farrell "the most influential American ballerina of the late 20th century."
Since 2000, Farrell has directed The Suzanne Farrell Ballet under the auspices of the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., which performs ballets by Ballanchine and other great 20th century choreographers. Farrell also teaches at the Kennedy Center and is a full-time professor in the dance department of Florida State University, Tallahassee. In 1990, she published an autobiography, "Holding on to the Air," and in 1997 she was the subject of a documentary film, "The Elusive Muse," directed by Anne Belle and Deborah Dickson, which was nominated for an Academy Award for best documentary.

Pioneering genetics researcher Shirley M. Tilghman was named Princeton
A native of Canada, Tilghman graduated from Queen's University in Ontario. After teaching secondary school in Sierra Leone, West Africa, she studied biochemistry at Temple University in Philadelphia, from which she received her Ph.D. During postdoctoral studies at the National Institutes of Health, Tilghman made a number of groundbreaking discoveries related to the cloning of the first mammalian gene.
Renowned not only for her scholarly research but also for her national leadership on behalf of women in science, she received national attention for a report on "Trends in the Careers of Life Sciences" in 1998. Tilghman was also a member of the ad hoc committee that shaped the transition of Radcliffe from a college to an institute of advanced study.
Tilghman was one of five winners of the L'Oreal-UNESCO For Women in Science Award in 2002, and in 2003 she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of Developmental Biology. She is a member of the American Philosophical Society, the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, and the Royal Society of London.
Edward Osborne Wilson is the Pellegrino University Professor Emeritus and
As a boy of 7, Wilson was fascinated by the behavior of insects he saw in the vacant lots of Pensacola, Fla. His interest focused on ants, and he traveled all over the world to study and collect them. "Most people have a bug period," he is fond of saying, "I never outgrew mine."
Wilson shared the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction with Burt Hollodobler for their book "The Ants." It was his second Pulitzer, the first awarded in 1979 for "On Human Nature."
In his studies of ant societies, Wilson saw parallels in the social interactions of birds, apes, and humans. Describing the latter in his 1975 book "Sociobiology: The New Synthesis" led to enormous controversy, including a physical attack on him at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Today, the book is regarded as the founding text of the field of sociobiology and its offshoot, evolutionary psychology.
Wilson's interests have expanded to global ecology. In "The Diversity of Life"(1992) and "The Future of Life" (2002), he describes how human are causing a biodiversity crisis he compares to natural worldwide extinctions of the past. In "Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge," he argues that returning to the ideals of the original Enlightenment, including the bridging of sciences and the humanities, will make us better stewards of the living world.
Wilson has received more than 90 awards in science and letters, including the National Medal of Science, the Crafoord Prize of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and Japan's International Prize for Biology.
Commencement Day, June 10, 2004, is his 75th birthday.

Dawn Journal: Planning for the Ceres Approach Phase
Posted by Marc Rayman on 2014/01/01 10:43 CST | 4 comments
Now more than halfway through its journey from protoplanet Vesta to dwarf planet Ceres, Dawn is continuing to use its advanced ion propulsion system to reshape its orbit around the sun. Now that the ship is closer to the uncharted shores ahead than the lands it unveiled astern, we will begin looking at the plans for exploring another alien world.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS; Westerners See a Toothless Japanese Giant
By JOSEPH KAHN
Published: August 21, 1999
The proposed merger of three Japanese banks into a behemoth with $1.3 trillion in assets poses little competitive threat to American or European banks, bankers and analysts said yesterday, nor will it do much to disrupt the push by foreign banks into Japan's home market.
Combining Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, Fuji Bank and the Industrial Bank of Japan would create a powerhouse in assets alone -- not in global reach, profitability, technology or productivity. None of the banks is known abroad as an innovator. Facing loan losses at home, the three have been scaling back their international presence in recent years.
''Even if these banks consolidate their operations the way a U.S. bank would, which is not likely, they have pulled away from international markets, and a likelihood of a revived international push is low,'' said Diane Glossman, banking industry analyst at Lehman Brothers.
The subdued reaction to the planned merger contrasts sharply with the wariness toward Japanese banking power in the 1980's, when those banks financing corporate Japan's sweeping international expansion seemed poised to do to world banking rivals what Japanese electronics makers did to American television manufacturers. Even as recently as 1996, when the Bank of Tokyo merged with the Mitsubishi Bank to form what was then the world's largest bank in terms of assets, some rival bankers saw a rising competitive threat.
Japan's prolonged recession and troubled real estate loan portfolios have radically changed that image. Most foreign bankers say they are more concerned that a Japanese banking implosion might cause a world financial panic than they are about Japanese banks stealing customers from them.
''This is a purely defensive merger,'' said a senior executive at a leading American bank. ''They are trying to protect themselves at home.''
The banker said that none of the three banks were considered a sought-after partner for foreign banks. He also said that he did not expect the merger to curb the ability of foreign banks to lure customers away from Japanese banks.
Some American bankers view Japan's banking sector these days as handicapped, even crippled. The Japanese Government in recent years has continuously increased its estimate of bad loans. In February, the Government put the figure at 76 trillion yen ($600 billion), more than double a prevailing Japanese banking industry estimate.
All banks must set aside capital to cover failed loans, so every new yen in bad loans requires that almost that much be added to a loan reserve -- taking away money the banks might have been able to deploy profitably. For Japan in recent years, it has been a vicious cycle: several leading Japanese banks have flirted with falling below a widely accepted international standard for the amount of capital they have to support their loans, risking exclusion from international markets.
Most Japanese banks now promise that they will seek to reach American levels of profitability. But they have a long way to go. Some of the most profitable Japanese banks earn a 2 percent return on equity, a standard way of measuring profits, analysts say. Top American banks earn 5 to 10 times as much.
Measured by assets, many of the largest banks in the world are still Japanese -- though the recent combination of Deutsche Bank of Germany with the American company Bankers Trust made that the No. 1 contender. But sheer asset size does not really measure financial strength or sophistication.
Leading American banks now often serve corporate customers by helping them get access to stock and bond markets, rather than making loans and recording them on their books. Traditional ways of making and recording loans build assets quickly, but are not considered highly profitable. When American banks make corporate loans, they are often syndicated, or sold off to investors.
''You simply cannot equate asset size with financing power or skill sets,'' Ms. Glossman said. ''American banks would be much larger than the Japanese banks if they did things the same way.''
Chart: ''Assets of a Trillion-Dollar Institution'' Three Japanese banks will merge to form the world's largest financial institution. Dollar figures are in billions; figures are for the fiscal year ended March, except where noted. DAI-ICHI KANGYO BANK HISTORY Created by the merger of Dai-Ichi Bank and Nippon Kangyo Bank, it was the biggest bank in Japan before the 1996 merger of the Bank of Tokyo and Mitsubishi Bank. In 1997, the bank was engulfed in a scandal for paying off racketeers to avoid disruptions of its annual shareholder meetings.

Its original name was Yasuda Bank, created as an expansion of a money-exchange business. The bank expanded in 1923 through the merger of 11 related banks, and changed its name to Fuji Bank in 1948. CHIEF EXECUTIVE: Yoshiro Yamamoto YEAR ESTABLISHED: 1880 WORLD RANKING: 20th EMPLOYEES: 13,976 BRANCHES WORLDWIDE: 303 NET INCOME: -$3.31 MARKET CAPITALIZATION*: $32.19 TOTAL ASSETS: $481.2 NONPERFORMING ASSETS: $11.45 INDUSTRIAL BANK OF JAPAN HISTORY The last major provider of long-term loans to Japanese companies after its rivals, the Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan and Nippon Credit Bank, became insolvent. The bank is a leader in the securities business, including underwriting of public and corporate bonds. CHIEF EXECUTIVE: Masao Nishimura YEAR ESTABLISHED: 1902 WORLD RANKING: 23d EMPLOYEES: 4,752 BRANCHES WORLDWIDE: 48 NET INCOME: -$1.65 MARKET CAPITALIZATION*: $25.66 TOTAL ASSETS: $383.4 NONPERFORMING ASSETS: $17.59 *As of yesterday.

A great visit, well worth taking the time.Plenty of variety.IT could be improved by more seating areas in some of the galleries.
Its a beautiful display of art..but it is HUGE. Need more than a day if you are a true art lover. It's also like most world renowned museums, expensive. They have specials like now a Wed or some weekday pay what you wish deal. Grab it.
My husband had a convention in Philly. One day I walked from the convention Center to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It was a beautiful day and a lovely walk. There were places to eat along the way and also the Rodin Museum was along the way. It was the first Sunday of the month , so for admission you pay what you want . I also bought the audio which was very helpful and was 5 dollars. I highly recommend using it . They also had a quick guide. It took awhile to see it all , but it had many different works of art.
Why should you go ????????? The Water Works near by, do not miss it. In the museum, the swords, rose garden, the steps, Rocky, the view. This place is for children and adults. I think it is free on Sunday. I grew up in Philly and went once a year in the summer. My husband also went as a child. When we are back in Philly in the summer this is our first place to visit.
The steps up to the museum are the ones that Rocky ran up. If you keep going and head in (and pay $20 or so) you get to see some serious amount of paintings. Even if only a fraction of them interest you, there's still plenty for everyone.A huge stack of impressionists and a whole heap of barking mad modern art from Marcel Duchamp onwards.

Box Office: Jessica Chastain Rules the Weekend with 'Mama,' 'Zero Dark Thirty'
The "Year of Jessica Chastain" rolls on.
After collecting her second Oscar nomination, this time for the war-on-terror thriller Zero Dark Thirty, the actress won the box office for a second consecutive weekend … and managed to claim the top two slots on the Top 10 chart.
In addition to Thirty, which continued to build on its awards momentum, Chastain saw her supernatural witch drama Mama take the No. 1 slot on the B.O. charts with an estimated $28.1M. The film likely drew Guillermo Del Toro's fans, as the Hellboy director helped produce the ghostly tale.
But Chastain is proving to be a box-office powerhouse. ZDT grabbed the No. 2 slot with an estimated $17.6M as Oscar helped power interest in the Best Picture nominee. Kathryn Bigelow's hunt for Osama bin Laden has now earned more than $55M – respectable for a movie with Oscar aspirations.
Movies that don't star Jessica Chastain also performed well at the box office, though they didn't come close to the lead.
David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook expanded to approximately 2,400 theaters this weekend in hopes of building on its Academy Award momentum … and it worked very well for the Weinstein Company. Though the movie has been screening in limited release for 10 weeks, the brilliant comedy added a whopping $11M this weekend, pushing its cume to a healthy $55M.
Broken City with Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe only chipped in $9M in tickets sold.
But that was better than Arnold Schwarzenegger's comeback vehicle The Last Stand, which limped to a $6.3M finish – good for a tenth-place finish on the weekend.
Here's the full Top 10 list for the weekend:
1. Mama, $28.1M
2. Zero Dark Thirty, $17.6M, $55.9M
3. Silver Linings Playbook, $11.3M, $55.3M
4. Gangster Squad, $9.1M, $32.2M
5. Broken City, $9M
6. A Haunted House, $8.3M
7. Django Unchained, $8.2M, $138.3M
8. Les Miserables, $7.8M, $130.3M
9. The Hobbit, $6.4M, $287.3M
10. The Last Stand, $6.3M

The Forty-Fives have been kicking around Atlanta for a solid decade, reeling off high-energy, mop-top rock 'n' roll hooks in the vein of the Kinks and the Makers with a Southern drawl.

Sat. Feb. 13 -- Dark Meat (final show), Barreracudas, Social Studies Since the summer of 2004, a wild-eyed, cult-like gathering has been making noise on the fringes of Athens' music scene, churning out thunderous rock 'n' roll ecstasy milked to the point of hysteria. That musical cabal is Dark Meat, an ever-changing ensemble that incorporates as many as 17 players during its shows, including a horn section dubbed the Vomit Lasers Family Band. Members of Elf Power, Of Montreal, Olivia Tremor Control and pretty much every other band in Athens have been counted among their ranks...

Sun., Feb. 14 -- Tortoise, Disappears Tortoise ruled a cerebral corner of indie rock during the '90s. Bitney, drummer/producer John McEntire, bassist Doug McCombs, drums, vibes and keyboard player John Herndon, and guitarist Jeff Parker looked to the spacious intricacies of jazz to guide their brand of so-called post-rock. In a decade punctuated by such musical trends as grunge, indie rock and drum-n-bass, Tortoise took the experimental high road, composing serene and funky instrumentals that bridged jazz, kraut rock, hip-hop and dub...

San Francisco Food Crawl
Tis the season and we haven't posted in a looooong time. But we're back with another fun filled installment of San Diego Food dot neat! I ventured into San Francisco about a month ago with Anh and we decided we would make the trip worth our while. Once our brunch destination was set up with some friends at Mission Beach Cafe, our next task was to see how many places were within walking distance we could tackle. Since we were walking it all off, the act of stuffing our selves silly did not phase us (in the psychological sense).…Read more

Jesse Rogers (2:03 PM)
Hi all, welcome to our weekly Hawks chat....Hawks just finished up practice and are headed to Long Island for tomorrow's game...Ray Emery will start in goal...fire away, lets talk some hockey!
Jesse Rogers (2:03 PM)
Hi all, welcome to our weekly Hawks chat....Hawks just finished up practice and are headed to Long Island for tomorrow's game...Ray Emery will start in goal...fire away, lets talk some hockey!
Jay (Raleigh)
Jesse, clearly we need to upgrade the blueline mix. With Nashville having to resign Weber and Suter, and maybe not having the cash to sign both, why don't the Hawks try to grab one of them? I'm thinking Hjalmarsson, a couple top prospects, and a couple picks.
Jesse Rogers (2:05 PM)
Because it would be a terrbile thing for that franchise to trade within the division when they arent rebuilding or anything....be one thing if nash was just horrible...teams dont like to take PR hits like that for a payoff years later...bottom line: if nash wants to move one they'll have suitors a plenty and not from just in the division...never say never but close enough on this one
Ryan Miller (Boise, Idaho)
Hey Jesse,It's obvious the Hawks need help on the defensive end and could use an additional centerman. I know the trade deadline is a few months away, but wouldn't it be better for them to address those needs now? If the Hawks do make a trade or two, who would would the Hawks trade away?
Jesse Rogers (2:06 PM)
Everyone wants center and D-men and no one wants to give up players now...sure, they would have addressed it yesterday but unless you want to grossly overpay there prob isnt a realistic deal to be done at the moment...itll come though...and why panic, you have a fine record...I know people want more...but so much easier said then done in terms of a trade...
Sam (Naperville)
What's your opinion on the Marcus Kruger at second line center experiment? Still going well? Good enough to permanently fill that need or will we still likely see a trade before the end of the season?
Jesse Rogers (2:08 PM)
If they can get a center they will still do it..Kruger isnt ready for it but for now, he's been ok...think he'll be better at home than on the road for matchup reasons and more games there will grow some chemistry with hossa and sharp but I dont think hes ready for a playoff run there...ask me in 3 months and I might feel different because so far he's been a sponge but not sure he can learn that quick
Bernard (Seattle)
Do the Blackhawks need to take radical steps to address their goals against situation? Is the problem in goal - specifically Crawford? Are we now seeing why he languished in the minors for so long?
Jesse Rogers (2:10 PM)
I was a pretty big crawford supporter coming into the season but willing to admit the jury is out..I still call this a slump which every goalie goes through however, it is a concern...has to get back on top of his game or we might have another switch in the making....defense at times has been brutal though..his slump is more recent in my opinion
JoeMan (Chicago)
What is the point of Lepisto? Playing O'Donnell & Scott more than him is a joke.
Jesse Rogers (2:12 PM)
I asked Q that today...didnt give a great answer but sounded like some D changes might be coming...5 and 6 were benched friday and on the ice for goals agianst phoenix...little unclear why lepisto isnt in there but i think they trust judgement of others more...dont think 5 would sit but 6 could tomorrow..maybe scott again...
Mark (chicago)
The game saturday in STL made me proud to be a Hawks fan. We owned the game AND the stadium, we may as well call it the United Center South. Rocked the anthem, standing ovation at the end it gets no better...To the players ever comment on that? Do they get as excited by the ridiculous road take over as the fans?
Jesse Rogers (2:14 PM)
They notice it and appreciate it but not sure it makes a huge diff on the ice...but they def hear it on the ice
Tom (Oak Forest)
Jess, can you please explain to me why we keep seeing Victor Stalberg on the first line. He clearly is not a top 6 forward, yes he is fast but he just doesnt know how to finish around the net.
Jesse Rogers (2:16 PM)
I tend to agree with you more than disagree but he has shown improvement...I dont think he's a top line player on a Cup team, however, so there is def room for a top 6 player to come in via trade..BUT he is getting used to Toews and the two are finding some chemistry so Ill give him that but yes, finishin is an issue...was thinking would he have finished on the 3rd goal against phoenix like kane did? not sure
Don (Columbus, OH)
Jesse- I chatted with Scott Burnside on Monday and he agrees the brass is not too happy with current goaltending situation. He had mentioned if NJ continues to falter that Brodeur might be a possibility. If not Marty, what possible veteran goaltender would be available to come to the Hawks?
Jesse Rogers (2:17 PM)
Boy, trading for a netminder was about the last thing I thought about going into this season...one of those Islander guys is prob available...Dipietro? havent really considered it though...that would shock me but maybe I should start thinking of it
Rob (Willis Tower )
I have to say that Kane and Toeths belong together. They are both way better together than apart. With that being said wouldn't it be great to have Campbell and Campoli on our roster? Everyone is talking about acquiring a good "D" man, we had 2 that we practically gave away for nothing. I don't understand if they're willing to eat Olesks contract why they just didn't keep Campbell?
Jesse Rogers (2:20 PM)
I tend to agree with you on Campoli not Campbell..it was still the right thing to do..you cannot tie up 7 mil on a guy that is ok on the pp, doesnt play pk, cant play against the best in the league night in and night out...unless IM wrong about all that...Campoli thing doesnt make a lot of sense..I know his agent, coming out of the draft, thought they would have a deal pretty quickly and things went south..maybe he overvalued himself but stil, something could have been worked out I would think..he could help but he's not lidstrom either..
Jack (Illinois)
With Duncan Keith's struggles over the past year and a half, are the Hawks and their fans going to view Keith's contract in the way the Cubs and their fans view Alfonso Soriano?
Jesse Rogers (2:22 PM)
Is it possible? yes. However, his deal is long but doesnt handcuff them cap wise every yr so he's even tradeable if it comes to that...I think its too early to say he wont return to form..I look at it this way, he's a point producer on the back end that needs to get back to playing better D..its not like his whole game is bad--you could make that arguement last yr--so maybe he's slowing coming around despite some peaks and valleys..not ready to call him the bust id call soriano
Joe (not in Chicago)
Crawford seems to lose his crease more often than last year and is swimming out of position. Is that 'cause he's pressing and lacks confidence or just challenging the guy with the puck too much? Is this what Waite was working on with him today?
Jesse Rogers (2:23 PM)
They work everyday on all that stuff...He is def scarmbling more but not sure why..pressing could def be part of it..just in a funk and not sure how long it will last
Dane (Avondale)
Is it just me or does it seem like we aren't getting much offensive production from the non core group lately? ex. frolick, bickell, stahlberg, etc..
Jesse Rogers (2:26 PM)
Definitely not getting it...I wasnt as high on that third line as a lot of people just cause they have one good playoff but what the heck has happened to bolland, frolik, and bickell...all are playing poorly right now...bolland is hurt a little but still that threesome has been so quiet for most of the year Q had to split them up...and I laughed at people thinking frolik was going to score 30...why? cause he played well in like 5 playoff games?
Derek (Deerfield, IL)
With Q mentioning the goalie situation will be game by game, do you see Emery getting more consistent playing time?
Jesse Rogers (2:28 PM)
Its pretty simple and we have the last two years as a blue print...yes, emery gets more time now until he falters...then Craw gets another chance and prob more of the benefit of the doubt, if his success is shortlived then back to emery and we will slowly see a changing of the guard.2 years in a row w esaw it but it doesnt happen overnight...Q always give the No. 1 guy a chance to reclaim...but to answer you, for right now, I would say its emery's net
Sean (Indy)
Do you think we would have enough depth at D to trade Hjammer? His offence is awful and he is only useful on D for blocking the occasional shot
Jesse Rogers (2:30 PM)
I'll say no way..Someone answer me this when keith, seabrook, even Campbell are in the lineup they are roundly critcized (including by me sometimes) but when they are out they are missed (by me sometimes as well) so i think its the same with hammer...he's needed cause the alternatives arent as good..and that's the bottom line..cant compare anyone to a mystery player..is hammer better than 5,6,32, and guys in the minors, I owuld have to say yes pretty confidently..
Frank (Chicago, IL )
In your opinion, what is it that is wrong with the Blackhawks and what can we do to improve it, i am a life long fan and am disappointed to see such a good team basically go down.
Jesse Rogers (2:33 PM)
They are 16-8-4...how exactly are they going down? No one wants to hear it but the problem with this team is its december...simple as that...They've proven to me when they want to REALLY play they can take down anyone...its the only answer..look who they play well agianst and look who they dont...they stop slides right before they get really bad cause they know they can...i know its sad..we want a 50 win team causethey have the talent...but seeds dont matter come spring, winning does...e=you should enjoy this knowing they will make hte postseaosn..cause if they dont then they get barbecued..but they will
Jack (Deerfield)
Two questions. Why is everybody all over Hammer? Is it the contract, because you need good defensive defensemen?What are players first thoughts on realligment? Reseeding the Final Four could be interesting. Could you imagine a Hawks-Canucks Stanley Cup Finals?
Jesse Rogers (2:36 PM)
Cause Cullimore and O'donnell provide more offense? And he just hasnt advanced as a player who was the only one to get an RFA offer in the league 2 summers ago..he's hit a plateau, seemingly..cmon, get an assist more than once every 15 games..as for re-alignment, I'll blog about this later..they arent thrilled with being in a conf with 8 teams and two others have seven..brunette talked about that, Q as well...course brunette might be in a 7 team one by next year but anyone that was the gist..not thrilled with it
John (Chicago)
This preseason a lot of our young guys looked very promising. I'm specifically talking about McNiel and Danault. Do you see Q bringing up anyone new in the next couple of months? The D has been struggling, but it would be nice to get someone who is better on the forecheck.
Jesse Rogers (2:38 PM)
You mean from the minors? I dont know if they are considering it. Tough to drop a rookie D-man into a playoff race so i doubt it..those other guys are far from ready..
jason (Houston, TX)
Great job as always JR, you're my lifeline to the Hawks...just want you to please tell all of these idiots that if a player like H4 or Dunc are struggling, this is NOT the time to trade them. Everyone acts like someone is just going to take our issues and hand over a top 6 forward or D-man. Gets pretty annoying to see them in here every week. Can you put a ban on stupidity???
Jesse Rogers (2:38 PM)
I guess you just did but no question is a bad one when we're talking Hawks!
Mike (Great White North)
How long will it be till the Hawks need to look to make a trade for a goalie, or do you feel Crawford can regain his past form?
Jesse Rogers (2:40 PM)
A lot of people asking about a trade for a goalie..first of all, lets see if Craw gets out of it..its been a few weeks, not 3 months..second of all, emery was a starter in this league and led a team to the playoffs last year...he might be able to do it..in fact his game has been getting better so Im not ruling him out at all...I dont believe they will trade for a goalie..
Jonathan Schade (Columbus, Indiana)
Jesse,What is the solution to our defense weakness? Is it really the goaltending or is it the defensive pairings or the players themselves?
Jesse Rogers (2:42 PM)
Some of it is goaltending..even craw said he has to make a big save more often..but a lot of it is just bearing down on D...No reason Seabrook shouldnt be solid every night even if Keith has issues sometimes...bottom end of D an issue too..Stan will 100 percent trade for a d-man..book that...maybe just not yet..
Steve (St. Louis)
Seems like teams who press us hard in their own zone have a lot of success defending against us (e.g., Phoenix). We seem to sit back on D and let things happen. Why don't we play more aggressively in our own zone?
Jesse Rogers (2:44 PM)
Good question..best I can tell you is they just arent great at pressing the issue..they want the puck and if they odnt have it, its not the best of defenses...so waiting for the opponent to make a mistake becomse as much of a defense as their own
Jesse Moers (Marco Island Florida)
What is the chance that the Blackhawks use the 6-7 million they have available on a big name during the trade deadline? And what player would benefit them the most during this years cup run.
Jesse Rogers (2:47 PM)
I think center is still thier No. 1 concern while defense is secondary in the sense that good d-men arent traded often..course neither are centers but going back to what I said before...puck posession is their best defense and another center gets them closer to that than an avg d-man..though again, they will get some D guy, just might not be the biggest name...hard to know what 2nd line center will be avail in 2 and 1/2 months
Jesse Rogers (2:47 PM)
I think center is still thier No. 1 concern while defense is secondary in the sense that good d-men arent traded often..course neither are centers but going back to what I said before...puck posession is their best defense and another center gets them closer to that than an avg d-man..though again, they will get some D guy, just might not be the biggest name...hard to know what 2nd line center will be avail in 2 and 1/2 months
Chris (So Cal.)
I really think shoot-outs have run their course. Winning what is basically a shooting contest is no way to garner that extra point. What about extending the 4 on 4 overtime an extra 5 minutes and if tie is not broken, give each team a point? This would be much more exciting and the teams would really go for it in the 4 on 4. Thoughts?
Jesse Rogers (2:48 PM)
I agree with everything you just wrote..people hate ties but I dont think there would be that many if you go to 10 minutes of 4 on 4..course the ice might get really bad, maybe you do a quickie run over it after regulation..maybe it will come p in next CBA
randy (Plainfield)
Is Bolland OK? Is he having any health issues? thought I saw some comments concerning he might not be 100%
Jesse Rogers (2:50 PM)
He is hurting..leg issues..swelling...hasnt practiced much lately but did today..has been affecting his game he admitted, at least a little
Jac (Chicago)
Has Q been telling carcillo to chill out a little? He still plays him with kane and toews occasionally to protect them, but carcillo doesnt seem to mix it up as much at all (i.e. legit fights).
Jesse Rogers (2:51 PM)
No, I think Carcillo has done it on his own..he wants another contract somewhere, right? so he's playing the game a little less crazy...thats good and bad of course
Nick (Vancouver, BC)
Are there any high energy guys out there that the Hawks could pick up? I feel that there have been a lot of times this year where the boys could use a spark but no body seems to bring one. Carcillo hasn't really done that this year and Mayers seems to be enforcing but no spark.
Jesse Rogers (2:53 PM)
I dont think they are looking for 4th line types...they are happy, I believe, with both carcillo and mayers...they've had their fare share of comebacks so the spark is there at some point...energy guys is not the problem...time of year is..and I know that shouldnt be the answer but I believe it is
curt (chicago)
can we officially deam the Brunette experiment a failure. he's minus 10 on the year and 4 of his 6 goals have been on the PP.This one goes in the fail column on Bowman's performance review.
Jesse Rogers (2:55 PM)
I would have to say yes with a small caveat that he's not that far off his usual pace of 18-20 goals..but I thought he would be better...they did too, hence his 1st line status for early portion of season but he should be making half of what he is if he's playing 4th line but there is SOME calue there...just not 1st line value and not for 2 mil
Jesse Rogers (2:55 PM)
sorry for spelling...have a bad day at it
Matt (Cincinnati)
Jesse, I agree with you that the Blackhawks are very talented and simply seem to take some games off. Is that an issue with this team in particular or is that a general trend with any talented team?
Jesse Rogers (2:56 PM)
I think its the general trend...look at the good teams..no one has some insane record out there cause there is no dynasty type team though pitt is pretty close to one I guess with crosby..and all the good teams have gotten waxed i na game or two already..if not all then most..
Matt (Cincinnati)
Which Blackhawks do you see making the All-Star Game this year?
Jesse Rogers (2:59 PM)
Toews, Kane, Hossa, maybe sharp...and maybe keith. I know that sounds crazy but his point total is going to be pretty good...if his plus/minus is decent at least, he might...thats the prob with him, we all think he should be norris like and get down on him for not being elite every night... but outside of chicago he still has respect..maybe im wrong but if his points are up there, he might
sam (calif.)
since Minny is winning playing a defensive style of hockey, and they are using about 4 kids, including rookies, on D, why is it so out of the question for someone in Rockford to be able to help the Hawks on D. Dylan Olsen looked like the best Hawk D prospect during the preseason.
Jesse Rogers (3:01 PM)
Two things...first off, lets see if Minny holds up..and second , no one is saying they cant...in fact the Hawks m.o. last couple years is to bring that "guy" they like up from the minors after world juniors or simply inthe 2nd half of the season..and especially on D...they did it with hammer and again wit leddy last year...so thats when the move would happen...but i dont know enough to know if Olsen is ready, etc.
Jesse Rogers (3:02 PM)
But they will only do it if they think the player is ready not becuse they are faltering at the NHL level...then a trade would happen...they dont believe in rushing D-men..will come back to bite
Paul (Mt. Prospect)
Can we officially say that Stan made a mistake in not keeping Niemi?
Jesse Rogers (3:05 PM)
I can cause I loved Niemi and havent see a Hawks goaltender with more fortitude than him in a while..and its hard to state the situation niemi was in and he still thrived..he wasnt exactly the "golden boy" and handed everything...again, hard to explain...but anyway, I cant believe people were saying they needed to see more out of him...its been 49 years...you know how hard it is to win 4 rounds? he did in his rookie year...thats special to me...and they sent him packing..Now, I like Craw's mental make-up as well, great kid, but not as much as I liked niemi.
Sue (Home)
Are there maybe any health issues with Crawford that we aren't being told about?
Jesse Rogers (3:05 PM)
Def not...or pretty sure not
Charlie (Culver City, CA)
What is the mood of the locker room? Everyone here seems to be complaining about this and that, but at the end of the day, they're still in a good spot.
Jesse Rogers (3:07 PM)
yeah, they are fine in the room..its dec. 7, they know they have a good team, a good record but can be better...does it really matter if they're better now or in the spring...as long as they get in...not saying they are coasting but they are playing out the year and not panicking....a huge slide would be differnt but they have responded evrey time they've come close
Nate (Chicago)
Would you deem the Hawks' new division next year the toughest with Chi, Dal, Det, STL, Minn, and NSH?
Jesse Rogers (3:09 PM)
I mean as of this moment it looks that way but not sure we can say that about next year...any conf with philly and pitt in it is going to be tough..I think long term, the hawks have it good in there..they should have no prob making the playoffs but those division games will be huge starting next year

Just wanted to let you know that it is going to suck to not be able to follow the Hawks in person on the CA half of the Circus trip anymore. I've caught 11 of the 12 games the last 4 seasons. Plus, now the Hawks will only visit SJ, LA and Anaheim once each each season. Aghhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Well circus trip not dead yet but think of the fans out east, they get to see the hawks every year so evens out..but yeah, one trip to those cities for now on...ahh, Ill miss vancouver...

In the pictures below, there are some new map pics of the new downloadable maps for Halo2, through Xboxlive. There will be 9 new maps available. There will also be a retail disc with the maps, a short animated single-player cut scene, and some other shibby things, the disc will go for $19.99. The downloadable maps will be free and purchased. The first two maps will come out in late April, for free. The next five will be purchased for $5.99 or all of them in late summer of '05 for $11.99. Wait and save or pay now and spend some dough, you decide. i'll get the two for free and then probably wait for the retail disc, who noiws, maybe something will go wrong and they never come out? Enjoy
