Red Wings goaltender Chris Osgood has decided to call it a career. He announced his retirement on Tuesday.
Like us to subscribe
Detroit Red Wings goaltender Chris Osgood ended the speculation and announced during a conference call that he has decided to retire from professional hockey. Originally people were assuming Osgood was set to come back, but it turns out he opted for retirement instead.
Osgood leaves the game of hockey (as a player) with 401 career wins. 317 of them came with him in a Red Wings uniform, including 16 in the 1998 NHL playoffs and 14 in the 2008 playoffs. Those two years Osgood led the Red Wings to Stanley Cup titles as a starter. He captured another Cup as a backup in 1997 and came within one game of winning a third ring as a starter in 2009.
Osgood retires as the 10th winningest goalie all-time in the NHL. He finishes second on the Red Wings' all-time list behind Terry Sawchuk for wins with the team. Osgood's list of career achievements also includes two William M. Jennings Trophies, two All-Star Game appearances, and one career goal, which he scored against the Hartford Whalers in 1996.
Although Osgood is leaving the game of hockey as a player, he is staying with the Red Wings as a goalie consultant. He will get to work with the team's goalie prospects and stay around the team even after his playing days are done. Kirk Maltby and Chris Chelios also took jobs with the Red Wings after they retired, and Kris Draper may be next on the list with a decision about his future looming.
On Monday all signs pointed to goaltender Chris Osgood re-signing with the Detroit Red Wings for one season and returning to be Jimmy Howard's backup. Just like when Nicklas Lidstrom re-signed, the Red Wings scheduled a conference call with Osgood, and the Detroit Free Press' Helene St. James even reported that the purpose of the call was to announce Osgood's return.
Early Tuesday morning, however, MLive's Ansar Khan reported that Osgood is actually going to announce his retirement on the conference call. Khan also reported that the Osgood has already accepted a job with the Red Wings to work their goalie prospects.
In addition to the news about Osgood, Khan says the Red Wings are expected to sign goalie Ty Conklin at some point this week. Ken Holland has already confirmed that the team has had talks with Conklin about returning to Detroit to be the team's backup goalie. If Osgood does in fact retire, the door for Conklin to return will be wide open.
While nothing will be official until Osgood announces it on the conference call on Tuesday, Khan's report certainly seems to be the accurate one. Not only does he have information about Osgood's plans after he calls it a career, but Khan also spoke to Osgood's agent and learned this:
Rollie Thompson, Osgood's long-time agent, said Monday night that he had not spoken to Osgood or Holland on Monday.
"There has been no contract talks," Thompson said. "There's been no discussions, so I don't know how there would be a contract."
One thing is for sure: Osgood's call just got a whole lot more interesting. Originally the thinking was he would discuss his return and that would be it. Now it looks like one of the Red Wings' all-time best goalies could be hanging up his skates.
The Detroit Red Wings have announced that a conference call with goaltender Chris Osgood will be held at noon (Eastern Time) on Tuesday. Details about what the call will be about were not disclosed, but chances are Osgood has re-signed for another season with the team.
When Nicklas Lidstrom re-signed earlier in the offseason, a conference call was similarly scheduled to announce the news. Nobody expected Lidstrom to retire over the phone, so it was easy to read between the lines and figure out he was coming back for at least another season.
I would expect this to be the case with Osgood as well. He just met with Red Wings general manager Ken Holland this past weekend out in British Columbia, and if the decision was made for Osgood to retire, chances are an actual press conference would be held at Joe Louis Arena. Since this is just a conference call, I think it's safe to say Osgood has been re-signed as the team's backup goalie for next season.
Assuming the Osgood situation is resolved on Tuesday, the next order of business for Holland and the Red Wings will be to decide what is going to happen with Kris Draper for next season.
Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland told Ansar Khan on Thursday that fans shouldn't expect to hear anything about who the team's backup goaltender will be until next week. Originally the plan was for Holland to meet with Chris Osgood in British Columbia on Thursday to talk about next season, but now that discussion won't take place until this weekend.
As a result, Holland isn't planning to make a decision until next week.
"I anticipate early next week I'll know what I'm going to do in goal,'' Holland said.
If things don't work out with Osgood for some reason, chances are Ty Conklin will get a contract offer. The Red Wings have been in talks with his agent, and Holland says other goalies' agents have been in contact as well.
Holland also says that the Red Wings have time on their hands, so there is no need to rush a decision. Even so, it would be nice for all involved to have this situation resolved sometime soon.
It seems the Detroit Red Wings' backup goaltender situation could be figured out by the end of the week. After originally hoping to fill the vacancy when free agency opened at the start of the month, Red Wings general manager Ken Holland has spent the last few weeks debating if the team should re-sign Chris Osgood or sign a free agent like Ty Conklin instead.
Earlier this week Holland said he was finally ready to make a decision; he just wants to talk to Osgood first. According to Holland, that discussion is going to happen on Thursday in British Columbia.
Before making a decision, Holland will meet with Chris Osgood in Vernon, British Columbia, Thursday night. Osgood on Tuesday returned to Detroit from his golf trip to Scotland and Ireland.
"We're going to have a conversation face-to-face," Holland said. "Sometime on Friday or Saturday, after talking to him, I'll probably have a decision on what we're doing."
Holland went on to say that he wants to talk to Osgood to make sure he hasn't changed his mind about playing next season. Holland thinks the trip to Europe could have resulted in a change of heart since Osgood had so much time to think things over, but he's not really sure one way or another.
Based on Holland's comments, it sure sounds like the backup goalie job is Osgood's if he wants it. Osgood just needs to make it clear he's ready to play for another season before Holland makes things official.
It was expected that the Red Wings were going to have their backup goaltender situation straightened out by now, but Chris Osgood isn't returning from his golf trip to Scotland until Tuesday (today). He is heading to British Columbia once he gets back to North America, so it looks as though Red Wings general manager Ken Holland won't get a chance to speak with Osgood until Wednesday.
Once Holland does talk to Osgood, a decision could finally be made about who will serve as Jimmy Howard's backup for the 2011-12 season.
"There's a couple of guys we have an interest in the open market and there's Chris Osgood," Holland said. "I want to talk to him before I make a decision."
From the sounds of it, Holland wants to make sure Osgood is healthy and ready to play for another season before deciding anything. At this point it is really down to another season with Osgood as the backup or bringing back Ty Conklin. The free agent market is sparse after the Red Wings were unable to land a guy like Tomas Vokoun, so it's entirely possible they will decide just to go with Osgood, especially with Joey MacDonald re-signing as the Wings' insurance policy.
Holland also wants to talk with Kris Draper sometime this week to decide what is going to happen with his future. Forward is pretty much set for the Red Wings unless a trade happens, so Draper could be headed for retirement.
Goaltender Joey MacDonald was not originally planning on coming back to the Red Wings next season. He was holding out hope for a one-way deal that would give him a chance to play all year in the NHL, and if that didn't work out he reportedly had an offer to play in Russia.
Things have changed and the plan has been altered, because MacDonald agreed to a two-year deal with the Red Wings on Monday. There were indications last week that something might be in the works with MacDonald, and now he is set to be with the Red Wings organization for the next two seasons.
Re-signing MacDonald helps with the Red Wings' depth at goalie, but he will not serve as the backup goaltender unless an injury happens. Jim Nill said that MacDonald is "a little insurance policy," so chances are MacDonald will be in the same role as last season. He will spend time in Grand Rapids, but if an injury happens to Jimmy Howard or the backup goalie, MacDonald could be called up to Detroit.
Right now it's not clear if MacDonald's deal is a one-way or two-way contract.
UPDATE: MacDonald is in fact on a two-way contract for 2011-12, so he will be able to move freely between Detroit and Grand Rapids. In 2012-13, his contract is a one-way deal.
Although the Detroit Red Wings appear to be set at forward for next season, they signed right wing Chris Conner to a one-year deal on Thursday. Connor's deal gives him a two-way contract, which will allow him to move freely between Detroit and Grand Rapids.
Conner, a native of Westland, Michigan, went to college at Michigan Tech and spent most of last season with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He started the season with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, but he was called up to Pittsburgh after only 11 games in the AHL. He ended up playing in 60 games for the Penguins and scored seven goals during the regular season. He also appeared in seven playoff games and scored one goal.
Conner is expected to compete for a spot with the Red Wings during training camp and the preseason. Since the forward position is pretty full and Connor is on a two-way deal, chances are he will be with the Griffins unless the Red Wings are dealing with a bunch of injuries. Like with Pittsburgh, he could always start the year in Grand Rapids and later be called up to Detroit.
Although the rumors that surfaced on Tuesday about Ty Conklin signing with the Red Wings were not true, it's possible they were just a bit premature. Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said later on Tuesday that no moves involving a backup goaltender will be made until later in the week, but Ansar Khan reports that the team is in negotiations with Conklin.
The club is negotiating with Conklin's agent, hoping to sign the 35-year-old as its backup goaltender.
A source said Tuesday that Detroit has "a pretty good chance" to sign Conklin.
Holland wants to talk to Chris Osgood before any decisions are made on Jimmy Howard's backup for next season. Osgood is set to return from a golf trip in Scotland on Saturday, so a decision could be made by the end of the weekend.
Khan also reports that the Red Wings are talking to Joey MacDonald. Originally MacDonald didn't have plans to consider a return to the Red Wings since he wasn't offered a one-way deal. MacDonald hoped to land a one-way offer elsewhere, but he could still apparently return on a one-way deal and be the starter in Grand Rapids. While he wouldn't be with the Red Wings, he would be able to serve as the emergency third goaltender.
The Detroit Red Wings bolstered their depth on defense by signing Ian White and Mike Commodore last week. This week they have bolstered their defensive depth in Grand Rapids by signing defensemen Garnet Exelby and Logan Pyett to one-year deals.
Pyett was selected by the Red Wings 212th overall in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. He spent the past three seasons in Grand Rapids with the Griffins and was a restricted free agent this offseason. By re-signing with the team, Pyett will spend at least one more year in Grand Rapids.
Exelby is a much more experienced player than Pyett. Exelby played with the Atlanta Thrashers from 2003 to 2009 and spent the 2009-10 season with the Maple Leafs. Last year, he played exclusively in the AHL with the Rockford IceHogs, and now he is expected to do the same with the Griffins in the 2011-12 season.
While both of these players could theoretically play with the Red Wings in the event of a rash of injuries, neither is expected to spend time in Detroit.
The Detroit Red Wings' final major need this offseason is to sign a backup goaltender. Some of the Wings' options include signing free agent Ty Conklin, re-signing Chris Osgood for one more season or making a trade to fill the need.
Based on everything Red Wings general manager Ken Holland has said over the last month, it seemed like re-signing Osgood was the least likely option to actually happen. Holland has made it sound like the team would prefer to go in a different direction because the risk of signing Osgood is too high with his injury issues. Now, though, Holland is making it clear that if the Red Wings have to bring back Osgood, they are okay with it.
"The market for goalies is pretty picked over," Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said. "We're comfortable with Chris Osgood if we have to do it."
It sounds like Osgood is the Red Wings' last resort, but I doubt he minds all that much. If Detroit can't make a trade or opts against signing a free agent like Conklin, I'm sure Osgood will be more than happy with being the last resort if he ends up getting to come back for one more season.
Defenseman Ruslan Salei, who spent the past year with the Detroit Red Wings, is going to play in the KHL next season. Specifically, Salei is going to suit up for Lokomotiv, which is the team that hired former Red Wings assistant Brad McCrimmon as its head coach.
When NHL free agency opened, the thinking was that Salei would try to sign with a team closer to his home in California. If that didn't work out, Salei's other main hope was that the Red Wings would still have a need on defense and decide to bring him back. However, with the Red Wings signing Mike Commodore and Ian White, any chance of Salei returning to Detroit was eliminated.
Salei's decision to go to the KHL with McCrimmon isn't all that surprising. He probably will get a pretty nice payday, and he doesn't have to wait around for an NHL team to make him an offer. I figured he would end up with a team in the NHL out West, but he's certainly not the first NHL player to go the KHL route.
The Detroit Red Wings have filled their need for a top-four defenseman by signing Ian White. His deal is for two years and is worth $2.875 million per season (for a total of $5.75 million).
White is a 5-foot-10 defenseman that spent last season with the San Jose Sharks, Carolina Hurricanes and Calgary Flames. A year ago he re-signed with the Flames after playing there in 2009-10, and Calgary traded him in November to the Hurricanes. Carolina then moved him to San Jose in February, and he played against Detroit in the playoffs.
Because the Red Wings got an up-close look at him for that seven-game series, Ken Holland has a good idea of the kind of player Detroit is getting.
"We've seen him a lot in the San Jose series,'' general manager Ken Holland told Booth Newspapers. "He can play on the power play, he's a competitor. He's a guy that thinks the game. He's got the skills. We've got skilled defensemen in (Nicklas) Lidstrom, (Niklas) Kronwall, others, and he's comfortable playing with them.''
The Red Wings' defense going into next season now includes Nicklas Lidstrom, Niklas Kronwall, Brad Stuart, Ian White, Jonathan Ericsson, Mike Commodore, Jakub Kindl and Brendan Smith. The first five spots seem to be set, so Commodore, Kindl and Smith will likely battle it out for a spot on the third pairing.
Cream of the free agent crop Brad Richards has signed a multi-year deal with the New York Rangers.
TSN.ca reports the deal is worth $60 million over nine years, which comes out to about $6.6 million a season. Richards will provide the Rangers with a potent 1-2 punch along with Marion Gaborik.
It was thought the Red Wings would have an outside chance at landing Richards with their extended amount of cap room and reputation for winning. In the end, $6.5 million a year actually doesn't seem too far out of their price range and would have gave them plenty of room to sign a back-up goalie.
The Red Wings will be left with an extremely thin talent pool, possibly leaving them with room to spare under the salary cap when the season starts. They'd still like another defenseman to go along with a backup goalie despite having signed Mike Commodore yesterday. Veteran goalie Chris Osgood also remains an option and would be cheap, but it appears Detroit is using him as a last resort. The Red Wings, however, aren't going to overpay players they deem unworthy of the money:
"We would like to have made a bigger move, but there wasn't a lot of opportunity,'' general manager Ken Holland said. "We explored, but in a lot of cases the money or the term went way beyond where we were willing to go. In a lot of cases, we couldn't provide the opportunity for them to have a bigger role when they looked at our roster.
"(Forwards) look at our lineup and don't want to come here if they can't be a top-six forward, and we don't want to pay them (top-six money) if they're bottom six.''
James Wisniewski, one of the Red Wings potential free agent targets, exemplified this more than ever. After signing a six-year deal with Columbus for $5 million a season, he told reporters that Detroit doesn't pay market value for its players. Hearing this makes me kinda happy Detroit didn't pursue him, especially with the shoddy market this year.
The Red Wings aren't done with free agency yet, but they don't have a whole lot of needs to fill either. Here's the potential remaining targets left (with last salary in parentheses):
Simon Gagne, TB ($5.25M)
Jason Arnott, WAS ($4.5M)
Alexander Frolov, NYR ($3M)
Tomas Kaberle, BOS ($4.25M)
Ian White, SJ ($2.99M)
Bryan McCabe, NYR ($5.75M)
Pascal Leclaire, OTT ($3.8M)
Ty Conklin, STL ($1.3M)
Marty Turco, CHI ($1.3M)
Chris Osgood, DET ($1.41M)
The Red Wings filled a need for a veteran defenseman, signing Mike Commodore to a one-year, $1 million deal on Friday.
Commodore was bought out of his contract by the Columbus Blue Jackets, where he played from 2008-2011. In 11 NHL seasons, Commodore has 23 goals and 81 assists. Commodore is known more for his physical play than his offensive prowess, but he does bring a right-handed shot on the blue line, something Detroit lost when Brian Rafalski retired.
Ansar Khan notes the potential awkwardness of the deal, as Commodore and Wings head coach Mike Babcock have a bit of history:
Interesting signing, since Commodore has had issues with Red Wings coach Mike Babcock when they were in Anaheim, publicly ripping him a couple of years ago when he played for the Blue Jackets.
At $1 million for one year, this is a low-risk, high-reward signing for Detroit. He came significantly cheaper than someone like James Wisniewski (6 years, $33 million from Columbus) or Christian Erhoff (10 years, $40 million from Buffalo).
The deal leaves the Wings about $10 million under the cap, which is plenty of room to sign a backup goalie and possibly a scoring forward.
Despite negotiations reportedly not making much progress as of Thursday night, the Detroit Red Wings re-signed forward Drew Miller just as NHL free agency was about to open on Friday. Miller's deal, according to Nick Kypreos, is for two years and is worth $1.65 million. That means Miller's cap hit is only $825,000 per season.
Miller joins Jonathan Ericsson and Patrick Eaves as players that have re-signed or agreed to terms with the Red Wings. Ericsson agreed to terms with the Red Wings on Thursday night, and Eaves did the same on Friday morning. Earlier this week it wasn't clear if any of these players would be re-signed before free agency opened, but now all three are set to return to the Red Wings for the next two or three years.
With Miller and Eaves re-signing and the Red Wings withdrawing their offer to Jaromir Jagr, they are pretty much set at forward. If a trade were to happen a spot could be opened up, but for now it looks like no more moves need to made at forward, meaning Kris Draper will not likely be offered a deal to return to Detroit as a player.
Detroit now needs to worry about finding a top-four defenseman and a backup goaltender, as those are the two biggest needs for the team moving forward.
NHL free agency opens in less than an hour, and the Detroit Red Wings have agreed to terms with forward Patrick Eaves, as first reported by Craig Custance of the Sporting News. Eaves' deal is for three years and is worth $3.6 million ($1.2 million per year).
With Eaves agreeing to terms on Friday and Jonathan Ericsson doing the same on Thursday night, the Red Wings can turn their their focus to attempting to sign free agents and re-sign Drew Miller. The last update we heard on the Miller negotiations was that not much progress was being made, so Miller will likely become a free agent. Even so, I'm sure Detroit will continue to try and sign him, and if they don't, it could mean Kris Draper gets another year with the Red Wings.
In addition to Miller and Draper, Chris Osgood is also set to become a free agent at noon (Eastern Time). The Red Wings have already made it known they want Miller back, but that is not the case for Draper and Osgood. Detroit will explore the market before making a final decision on those two, so they could be waiting for a week or two to find out if another year with the Red Wings is in the cards.
Joey MacDonald, one of the Red Wings' other free agents, has already made it known he is not going to return to Detroit.
On the eve of NHL free agency, the Detroit Red Wings have agreed to terms with defenseman Jonathan Ericsson, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie. Ericsson's deal is "believed to be" worth $9.75 million over three years, which seems like a lot given how Ericsson played last season. I guess this is the offseason of overpaying players across the league, though.
In any case, the Red Wings can now focus on getting deals done with forwards Patrick Eaves and Drew Miller. Ken Holland said on Thursday that progress has been made with Eaves' agent, indicating that a deal is likely before free agency starts at noon (Eastern Time) on Friday. Things aren't looking as good with Miller, though.
The Red Wings also are trying to re-sign forward Drew Miller, but are not close.
"Just had a philosophical conversation (with his agent),'' Holland said. "I made an offer. Can't say we're making a lot of progress.''
If Detroit is unable to re-sign Miller and Jaromir Jagr ends up going elsewhere, it's possible this could be the opening for Kris Draper to return to the Red Wings for one more season.
NHL free agency opens on Friday, meaning the Detroit Red Wings' time to re-sign defenseman Jonathan Ericsson before he hits the open market is running out. The Red Wings have been negotiating with Ericsson's agent about a new deal for a while, but so far the two sides haven't been able to come to an agreement. Ken Holland is trying to get something done, though.
"We've done a lot of talking (with Ericsson's agent) the last 4-5 days,'' Holland said. "We'd like to re-sign him. I don't think money's as big an issue. He's 27, he wants to know where he fits going forward and how it affects his role.
"We'll see between now and Friday if we can get a deal done.''
Holland doesn't exactly sound all that confident in getting Ericsson re-signed. My feeling is if Ericsson hits the open market he will end up signing with another team. Quite a few teams out there are looking for defensemen and/or need to sign some bigger deals to get to the cap floor, so I wouldn't be surprised if a team overpays for Ericsson.
Holland told Ansar Khan that the situation with Ericsson is similar to the situations with Patrick Eaves and Drew Miller. The Red Wings are trying to re-sign them, but it's not clear right now if they will be able to get a deal done before Friday. Even if they are unable to, I think Eaves and Miller are much less likely to sign elsewhere.
Two players that we know will not be signing elsewhere are Kris Draper and Chris Osgood. The long-time Red Wings have basically said that they will play in Detroit for another season or retire, but right now neither player knows if he will be offered.
Holland told both players that no offer will be made before Friday because the Red Wings want to get a look at their free agent options. If they don't see anybody that would be an upgrade and need to fill spots, Draper and Osgood could still be brought back. For Draper, his return could come down to whether or not the Red Wings re-sign Eaves and Miller, and Osgood's return will hinge on the Red Wings not finding a solid backup goaltender at a reasonable price.
NHL free agency begins on Friday. That means that for the Detroit Red Wings, it is important to get their free agents re-signed before they hit the open market. It's not an absolute necessity, but for someone like Jonathan Ericsson, Detroit clearly wants to get a new deal done before the rest of the NHL has a chance to talk to him.
While in Minnesota for the 2011 NHL Draft on Saturday, Red Wings general manager Ken Holland met with Ericsson's agent. Holland said the two sides are "in the same ballpark" and that another discussion with Ericsson's agent is scheduled for Monday.
Salary demands have been the big issue in these negotiations in the past, but now it looks like Ericsson wants to be clear about where he stands in the Red Wings' defensive plans before signing a new deal.
"A little bit of the conversation that's going on with Ericsson's camp is where we see him fitting in," Holland said.
Apparently the agents representing Patrick Eaves and Drew Miller haven't gotten back to Holland yet about offers they received, so for right now not much progress is being made with those two free agents.
The Detroit Red Wings' biggest need this offseason is defense. With Brian Rafalski retiring, Detroit needs to find a top-four defenseman for next season. They also will likely need a defenseman that can compete to be a part of the third pairing, because Ruslan Salei is not expected to be brought back.
Red Wings general manager Ken Holland has already informed Salei that he will not be offered a deal to return to the team before July 1, the day free agency opens. If the Red Wings haven't filled all of their defensive needs as the summer progresses and Salei is still without a team, then a deal could happen. For now, Holland doesn't want to tie up a roster spot for when free agency opens.
With Salei not being offered a deal to re-sign at all or at least not anytime soon, the Red Wings will go into free agency with Nicklas Lidstrom, Niklas Kronwall, Brad Stuart and Jakub Kindl under contract. Of course, that's barring a trade, but as it stands right now, those are the guys that are under contract and were on the NHL roster last year.
Doug Janik is also under contract with the Red Wings, but he spent almost all of last season in Grand Rapids. Brendan Smith was in Grand Rapids with Janik, but the former Wisconsin Badger is expected to compete for a spot with the Red Wings this year.
Long-time Red Wings Kris Draper and Chris Osgood are waiting to hear if they will be brought back by the team for one more season. Neither has been informed of a decision yet because Red Wings GM Ken Holland has not yet made any decisions. Holland said that he is waiting for free agency to open and for the Red Wings to have an opportunity to evaluate all of their options.
"Right now, we owe it to ourselves to wait till July 1," Holland said. "I'll talk to both players, but so much is unknown right now. We don't know who is going to be on the market July 1. Is there somebody out there we think brings something we'd like to our team?
While Holland made it clear no decisions have been made on the status of Draper and Osgood, it certainly doesn't sound like the two players are going to be offered contracts to return next season.
"We owe it to ourselves to look at options. The torch has to be passed. If 40-year-olds aren't passing the torch, we aren't going anywhere."
With Joey MacDonald not returning, the Red Wings will need to find a backup goalie. Osgood wants the job, but the Red Wings aren't sure if he is worth the risk given the injury issues that have plagued him the last two seasons. If not for those issues, Osgood would probably be brought back for sure, but the Red Wings are going to take a look at which goaltenders are free agents before deciding either way.
As for Draper, the problem he is facing is a lack of room on the roster. The Red Wings already have 11 forwards signed for next season, and Patrick Eaves and Drew Miller are both probably going to be brought back as well. Cory Emmerton is also likely going to be on the roster since the Red Wings won't want to expose him to waivers, meaning there just isn't room for Draper as it stands right now. Obviously if players are traded a spot could open up, but it doesn't look good for Draper right now.
The Red Wings have many needs as the NHL offseason begins, and the majority of them are defense related. Brian Rafalski's decision to retire created a big hole in the Red Wings' defense, and with Nicklas Lidstrom potentially hanging up his skates as well, moves will have to be made to shore up the defense for next season.
A move will also have to be made to fill the hole at backup goaltender. Joey MacDonald performed well in the role for the Red Wings at the end of last season, but he is not going to return to the team. As reported by Ansar Khan, MacDonald wants to sign a one-way deal with an NHL team, and the Red Wings are apparently not interested in offering that to him.
MacDonald hopes to land a job with another NHL team when free agency begins on July 1. If he can't, MacDonald reportedly has the backup plan of a one-year, $1 million deal to play in Russia. Since he doesn't want to potentially be stuck in the AHL, MacDonald would rather move on to another NHL team or another league than take a two-way deal with the Red Wings.
What this means for the Red Wings is they will need to find somebody to back up Jimmy Howard next season. Chris Osgood wants the job, but it's not clear just yet if the Red Wings will bring him back. Chances are Detroit will evaluate all of its options at the start of free agency and go from there.
Like Chris Osgood, Kris Draper wants to play another season in the NHL, but he is going to be a free agent this offseason. While the Red Wings have already indicated they want some free agents back, general manager Ken Holland has been noncommittal when asked about what will happen with Osgood and Draper.
While Osgood may only have to worry about somebody like Joey MacDonald taking his spot, Draper has had to compete with many young forwards in the last couple years, and even more young guys are expected to challenge for spots on the roster next season. The Red Wings' forward depth is solid, which could leave Draper on the outside looking in. The 40-year-old wants to play with the Red Wings for one more season, but there's no telling if the Red Wings will want him back or not.
In order to prove to Holland that he is deserving of a spot on next season's team, Draper has been busy working out, and on Wednesday he worked out with Detroit Lions players at Detroit Country Day. Lions players have been holding player-organized workouts because the NFL is in lockout mode, and the trainer that runs them also works with Draper.
Draper impressed the Lions players at the workout and even caught a pass from Matthew Stafford. Draper said he wished the media wouldn't have been kicked out of the session and that Holland would have been there to see him.
"If Kenny (Holland, Red Wings general manager) could've seen me working out, he would have made a decision right away," Draper said. "They (the Lions) wanted you guys to go away, but I wanted you to stay. I want Kenny to see exactly what I was doing."
Draper likely will find out what Holland's plans are for him in the next seven to 10 days. If he is offered a one-way deal, Draper will re-sign with the team and play one more season. If he is offered a two-way deal (like Kirk Maltby last year before he retired) or isn't offered one at all, Draper will retire and join the Red Wings' front office.
Since he still feels he can play, Draper was asked about signing with another team if the Red Wings don't offer him a contract. While he didn't completely say no to the idea, Draper seemed pretty set that he will play for the Red Wings next season or simply retire. At this point his future, like Osgood's, will likely come down to whether or not Holland decides to offer a contract for next season.
A few Detroit Red Wings players went into this offseason considering retirement. Defenseman Brian Rafalski, for example, already announced he has retired from professional hockey. Fellow defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom could do the same thing, but he has not made a decision just yet.
Goaltender Chris Osgood also went into the offseason considering retirement, but he has since decided he wants to play for one more season, as reported by the Detroit News.
Rollie Thompson, Osgood's agent, told Red Wings general manager Ken Holland late last week the veteran goaltender would like to extend his career one more season.
The interesting thing about this situation is the decision to return doesn't mean Osgood will for sure be back with the Red Wings. General manager Ken Holland hasn't committed to re-signing Osgood, who dealt with injuries throughout the 2010-11 season.
Holland plans on discussing the matter with the front office, coaches and scouts later this month, but for now Osgood's status for next season is up in the air. If Joey MacDonald hadn't done so well as the backup toward the end of the season, I think it would be an easy decision to re-sign Osgood. MacDonald filled in quite admirably, though, and it's possible he could have earned the backup job for next season over Osgood.
For the Red Wings, deciding what to do with Osgood will ultimately come down to what makes the most sense for the team. Taking emotion out of the equation, the Red Wings have to figure out if re-signing Osgood is the right move for the team next season.
The Detroit Red Wings are getting set to formulate their plans for the upcoming offseason. On June 14 and 15, the front office and scouting staff will meet to decide which free agents the Red Wings should re-sign, and they will also look ahead to the NHL Draft and NHL free agency. At that time decisions will be made about guys like Patrick Eaves, Drew Miller, Chris Osgood and Kris Draper.
It is very likely that Eaves, who has been solid for the Red Wings the last two seasons, will be offered a deal to return to Detroit. If an offer does come his way, he will likely accept it.
"I really like it here," said Eaves, 27. "I've enjoyed playing with all of the guys here, so now comes the not-fun part."
The chances of Miller being offered a deal seem pretty good, but things are much less certain for Osgood and Draper. The long-time Red Wings are getting older, and their roles on the team are diminishing. Taking emotion out of the equation, the front office will have to decide if it would be worthwhile to bring the two back. Of course, Osgood hasn't decided on playing another season just yet, but it sounds like Draper wants to return.
One player the Red Wings have already made clear they want back is Jonathan Ericsson. The problem is it's not clear if Ericsson and Detroit will be able to agree on a new deal. Ansar Khan reports that Ericsson turned down a deal worth $2 million a year during last season, and it's tough to believe the Red Wings will offer anything significantly more than that for a third-pairing defenseman.
Ken Holland met with Ericsson's agent last week at the NHL Combine in an attempt to bring the two sides closer together. Although Holland said the meeting went well, I get the feeling that Ericsson will test free agency. After all, if Brett Lebda can get a deal for $2.9 million, there's probably a team out there willing to overpay Ericsson as well. That could make it difficult for Detroit to bring him back considering they will not overpay him.

It has been a while since my last post, but i am back!
Since Adobe gave the Flash community a big F*** You with their ******** Javascript engine, i gave up on flash.
I am not doing Javascript or even getting close to that script because it is just a BIG step back from mature OO languages.
Not that AS3 is super mature, but at least it has a descent OO structure and such.
Thus i was lost for a couple of months. Left in the dark and guessing which language or techniques i should choose to do besides AS3.
Not wanting to do JS or some bulls*** like that, i decided to put my focus on OpenGL. Just focus on real 3D and the stuff that belongs to that environment.
I started with Processing, where you can code some simplified version of OpenGL. Processing is a good tool to start learning the basics of OpenGL. So when i understood
the basics i went to JOGL ( Java OpenGL ) which goes a bit more indepth on the subject than Processing. The next logical step would be to try OpenGL in the C++ / C# / Objective C languages. Setting up a window and the GL renderers and such.
All of the above techniques give me great joy to work with, BUT…..
Yes theres a but…
Almost all of them dont really work as well on the web as flash does.
Going into Stage3D
So…. i made the descission to move back to AS3 and try Stage3D with all my new knowledge.
For learning purposes i started on my own 3D engine ( codename OMEGA3D ). This way i would have to cover most subjects and get a good knowledge and understanding of what is actually happening under the hood.
Here are my tries so far.
Mouse Over a demo to activate it, Mouse Out to deactivate.
Primitives Demo:
This pimitives demo shows the basic primitives.
This is a good starting point, you will learn about registers, geometry, textures and displaying those all on screen.
OBJ File Demo:
In every 3D engine it is important to have some way to import models. This saves alot of hardcoding meshes and headaches.
The simplest format you can get is the .OBJ format. Obj files are simple text files with lists of vertex positions, normals, uv coordinates and face indexes.
From this you can easily make a mesh that can be used in Stage3D. This demo uses a OBJMesh with a directional light.
* This demo has a 'KeyCamera'. Use your arrow keys to move it
Terrain Demo:
It is always nice to have a Terrain Generator inside your engine. Making fly-overs or even game levels can be a lot of work. If you have some way of making landscapes rapidly you can save some time and spend it on the more important stuff, like game logic and such. My terrain generator uses a heightmap of which this terrain is being generated.
* This demo has a 'KeyCamera'. Use your arrow keys to move it
BillBoard Demo:
Sometimes you want to have complex shapes in your game / application like a tree or a bush.
Its very tedious to make a mesh of a small bush or even a tree with alot of branches. You can imagine that the poly count on such models
is very high, thus it costs alot of power to render it to the screen. A technique that is often used to overcome this kinds of problems is called Billboarding.
Billboarding is a technique that adjusts an object's orientation so that it "faces" some target, usually the camera.
Thus if a camera changes position, the billboarding element will rotate itself accordingly.
So if we have a small plane with a texture of a bush or a tree on it… we can keep facing this plane towards the camera. The camera will never look at its sides.
Thus the 'viewer' will have the idea the bush is somewhat "3d".
* This demo has a 'KeyCamera'. Use your arrow keys to move it!
BlendModes Demo:
In every piece of 3D software you ll notice that blending is a big part of the way your materials are show on screen.
Do they need to be transparent or do they need to enhance each other etc etc.
In this demo i tried to combine different blendmodes on different materials.
The stars and the suns in this demo have a BlendFactor.SOURCE_COLOR, BlendFactor.ONE ( depth testing is set to false )
The Head ( OBJ file Mesh ) has a default BlendFactor ( depth testing is set to true )
To combine to different meshes in a scene with different blendModes and depthtesting was very instructive to do and gave me a little " AHHHHHA!" moment.
* This demo has a 'KeyCamera'. Use your arrow keys to move it!
So far my engine supports:
- Materials ( shaders + textures )
+ BitmapMaterial
+ ColorMaterial
+ LightMaterial
- Meshes ( geometries + transforms )
+ Sphere, Cube, Plane, Cillinder, Torus
- Lights
+ Directional lighting
- Cameras
+ Static camera
+ Key camera ( supports keyboard inputs and movement )
This is an ongoing project so i guess more will come!
And remember …
Keep the fun and play in your work!

FORT MYERS - Fire officials responded to a report of a boat explosion Thursday at The Landings on McGregor Boulevard.
Upon arrival it was determined that during fueling the gas fumes sparked and flashed causing injuries to two young girls.
A 15-year-old was taken to the hospital for treatment of 2nd Degree burns to her arm and back and an 11-year-old received minor burns. The boat sustained no damage.
Officials want to remind boaters to run the blowers when fueling up your vessel.

As many of you know, the Baseball team won the first game in Lincoln and sent NU off to the Big 10. The Cornpones plus the Chickenhawks failed to qualify for the Big 12 Tournament in OKC. Mizzou ended up with the 8th seed.
The tournament format has changed BACK to the double-elimination format it was for the first ten years of the tournament. Mizzou is in the Bracket "A" with #1 seed Texas, #4 Oklahoma State and #5 Baylor.
After the jump, I will show everyone how the Baseball Tigers did against the teams in this year's tournament.
Mizzou vs.
#1 Seed Texas: (in Austin) Lost 5-4, lost 5-2, lost 10-1 April 1-3.
#2 Seed Texas A&M: (in Columbia) Won 10-9, won 9-1, lost 3-2 (7 innings) April 29-May 1.
#3 Seed Oklahoma: (in Columbia) Lost 3-1, won 2-1 (11 innings) March 25.
#4 Seed Oklahoma State: (in Stillwater) Lost 3-2, lost 4-1, lost 7-3 April 8-10.
#5 Seed Baylor: (in Waco) Won 4-2, lost 6-3, won 10-1 April 21-23.
#6 Seed Kansas State: (in Manhattan) Won 5-4, lost 8-5, won 12-8 May 6-8.
#7 Seed Texas Tech: (in Columbia) Won 11-1, lost 6-4, won 4-3 May 13-15.
Mizzou against non-tournament teams...
#9 Nebraska: (in Lincoln) Won 10-5, lost 4-3, lost 8-5 May 19-21.
#10 K*****: (in Kansas City/Columbia) Lost 7-1 (in KC), lost 8-3, won 3-2, lost 6-0.
Despite the record against the other teams in it's pool, the Tigers were in every game they played against it's same bracket foes (not counting the Sunday game at UT). If the Tigers can win the first day against UT, they will have a shot to win the whole thing. But they HAVE to win that first game.
Mizzou vs. UT at 12:30 (approx. time). You can listen to the voices of Tex Little and Hunter Mense at KTGR.com.

CNN's Nic Robertson has the details of reports of a major government assault on Homs, Syria.
In the days following Tunisian dictator Zine el Abidine Ben Ali's ousting last January, some media reporting on the so-called "Jasmine Revolution" presented the internet as the unique factor that led to the fall of his authoritarian regime.
Zine el Abidine Ben Ali will be remembered as the first leader to be toppled in what became known as the Arab Spring. After nearly 24 years in power, he became the former president of Tunisia.
CNN's Ivan Watson looks at the life of the man who inspired protesters to stand up across the Middle East.
Mohamed Bouazizi's self-immolation one year ago was an act which symbolized the frustration and desperation of millions in the Arab world, setting into motion a series of revolutions across the Middle East and North Africa.
When Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in Tunisia in January, he did not only ignite a series of unpredicted revolts but also heralded the first appearance of Arab youth on the stage of modern history.
Mohamed Bouazizi -- the Tunisian fruit and vegetable seller who inspired uprisings across the Arab world when he set himself on fire -- is to be the subject of a movie.
CNN's Rima Maktabi reports on being on a film set in Tunisia when the regime of Zine el Abedine Ben Ali escalated towards revolution.
Mohamed Bouazizi couldn't have known when he struck that match he would spark the "Arab spring," but it's tough to imagine he'd be disappointed.
When people take to the streets to protest against their governments, the list of grievances is usually long and complex, but corruption is always at the top.
Mohamed Bouazizi, a 26-year-old unemployed college graduate from Tunisia, began a fruit and vegetable stand to earn a living. But he did not have a permit.
As the protests in Cairo enter a second week, CNN takes a look at some of the key questions surrounding them.
Tanks hit the streets in Alexandria, Egypt, but protesters continue to cry for the removal of President Mubarak from power.
What began as a popular uprising that toppled the Tunisian government before spreading into Algeria, Jordan, Yemen, Sudan and, of course, Egypt, may now be headed for Syria.
With unprecedented numbers of protesters on the streets of Egypt calling for President Hosni Mubarak to resign, what clues do earlier demonstrations in the region offer about what will happen in Cairo?
CNN's Suzanne Malveaux reports on a week of rage in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East.
One man died and another was injured after they set themselves on fire Tuesday in Egypt, the latest in a string of self-immolations in restive North Africa, officials told CNN.
CNN iReporter Marwan Guetari talks about unrest in Tunisia and the role of technology on the ground.
The popular protests in Tunisia that have caused upheaval in the government were sparked by Mohamed Bouazizi, a 26-year-old unemployed college graduate, who set himself on fire in protest. He later died. Now, reports are coming in from other countries in the region -- Egypt, Algeria, and Mauritania -- that other demonstrators are turning to self-immolation.
A 26-year-old unemployed man who was beaten by police and then lit himself on fire, helping spark violent demonstrations in Tunisia, has died, the Federation of Human Rights Leagues said Wednesday.

Danville, VA -- There have been lots of rescues on our area rivers this summer.
In Danville the Fire Department has already had three river rescues just this month alone! Normally they only have one to two a year. So they say right now it's crucial they are prepared in case number four gets called in.
Between the heat and how high the river is, it can be dangerous even just to train. But when the river is this high, the crews have more rescues, so right now is the best time to hit the water and get prepared.

Well everyone, this is my first FanPost ever on Arrowhead Pride, and on SB Nation in general, so I am kind of nervous. Well to get things started I'm sixteen years old, so if I make any mistakes don't be too critical of them.
Let's begin!
#11 - Alex Smith
#10 - Chase Daniel
#9 - Tyler Bray
Yes, you are seeing the #3 quarterback correctly, no Ricky Stanzi. It hurts me saying that considering I spent a good chunk of my early teen years watching the Stanzi, Greene, Moeaki tandem.
#25 - Jamaal Charles
#35 - Knile Davis
#22 - Dexter McCluster
#32 - Cyrus Gray
No more Draughn. I believe he over stayed his welcoming in KC.
#42 - Anthony Sherman
#40 - Branden Wilson
Two full backs? Yep, remember 2010, Castile and Cox? Man, that was a good year.
#82 - Dwayne Bowe
#89 - Jon Baldwin
#17 - Donnie Avery
#22 - Dexter McCluster
#19 - Devon Wylie
#15 - Terrance Copper
I really do hope we keep the special teams guru in Terrance Copper, love that guy. As for Baldwin at #2 receiver, he was a first round pick, and with all the talks about Reid working with him 1-on-1, I think he'll stay at #2.
#81 - Tony Moeaki
#80 - Anthony Fasano
#87 - Travis Kelce
#46 - Kevin Brock
I'd keep an eye on Kelce, he's a sleeper. Could leap his way up to #2 or possibly a starter depending on the health on Moeaki.
#76 - Branden Albert
#79 - Donald Stephenson
#60 - Steven Baker
Remember Steven Baker? He was the first signing of the Reid-Dorsey Era and he'll stay assuming they don't pick up any waived veterans.
#74 - Geoff Schwartz
#71 - Jeff Allen
Schwartz is the best option at LG in my opinion. I have mixed feelings about Jeff Allen.
#61 - Rodney Hudson
#52 - Eric Kush
If Hudson stays healthy, obviously, Kush won't see the light of day at starting center this year.
#73 - Jon Asamoah
#74 - Geoff Schwartz
#71 - Jeff Allen
If Asamoah gets hurt (God forbid it), I think Schwartz steps in at RG and Allen to LG.
#72 - Eric Fisher
#79 - Donald Stevenson
Fisher sucks. I'm only kidding everyone. Next Joe Staley? Hope so.
#94 - Tyson Jackson
#92 - Austen Lane
It's Tyson's year. Nuff said.
#92 - Dontari Poe
#98 - Anthony Toribio
#95 - Jerrell Powe
It really wouldn't surprise me if Toribio gets the nod all 16 games. Like I said with Baldwin, Poe was a first round pick and we have to reveal his true talent this year as a starter.
#70 - Mike DeVito
#97 - Allen Bailey
I really like Bailey, I want him to get his chance, I was hoping that in the offseason, but then they signed DeVito and crushed my dreams.
#50 - Justin Houston
#99 - Edgar Jones
#56 - Derrick Johnson
#57 - Nico Johnson
#55 - Akeem Jordan
Akeem will stay, Zombo possibly to if they can find a spot on special teams, other than that Jordan will be nice.
#91 - Tamba Hali
#53 - Mike Catapano
Catpano will be a FANTASTIC addition to the up-and-coming #1 pass rushing defense in the NFL. I'm pitching a tent just thinking about it.
#24 - Brandon Flowers
#27 - Sean Smith
#21 - Dunta Robinson
#30 - Jalil Brown
#26 - Sanders Commings (Injured)
Jalil almost had his shot at nickelback after Arenas was traded, looks like he'll be spending most of his time on Special Teams.
#23 - Kendrick Lewis
#26 - Sanders Commings (Injured)
#39 - Husain Abdullah
For the time being, Abdullah will be the #2 FS. However, when Commings comes back healthy, he could possibly push for the starting role, same for Abdullah. This is going to be a great position battle to watch for.
#29 - Eric Berry
#35 - Quintin Demps
I really do see us holding on to Demps, he wasn't really that bad in Houston, with that being said, he'll be a good ad on.

Red Giant Releases Magic Bullet Suite 11 with Looks 2 and New 'Cosmo' Plugin
Red Giant Software has released Magic Bullet Suite 11, which introduces a new version of Looks and adds another component, Cosmo. The nine-plugin suite is priced at $799, with upgrade pricing available at $199 if you own MBS 10, or $399 if you own any other two Magic Bullet Products — which if you do the math is a steal. The Red Giant folks have released a number of informative videos to go along with the new release, starting with a launch trailer:
The brand-new product to the suite is the appropriately-named Cosmo, which focuses on skin smoothing. I've found that dialing Colorista's "pop" slider to negative values (and masking the filter to faces) was effective at minimizing blemishes for a more commercial look, and Cosmo ($99 on its own) looks to be a more targeted tool for the job. I can imagine this will be a must for wedding videographers… The brief launch clip:
Meanwhile the larger addition is Looks 2, which is a redesigned and rewritten update to the original Looks. It's available as a standalone product for $399 ($99-$299 upgrade pricing). Here's what's new in the sequel:
Some important new features look to be the scopes pictured at left (especially in light of the fact that After Effects inexplicably lacks the built-in waveforms and vectorscopes of Premiere Pro), as well as the "one installer to rule them all" upgrade. Previous Magic Bullet suites required you to install and update each component separately, which always went smoothly for me but took a few extra steps.
Red Giant's products will be coming to Final Cut Pro X at some point in the future as a free update for current customers, though as Stu Maschwitz points out, FCP X isn't ready for pros yet and most of its users probably don't need extra plugins. Yet.
Stay tuned to this here site, as I'm going to try to wrangle y'all some sort of discount on a related Red Giant product (as I have in the past). If you're thinking about buying the full suite, or if you're upgrading, feel free to pull the trigger now, though — it's unlikely I'll be able to get discounts for either of those situations. There are also free trial versions available for download at the link below.

Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
can i get it for FCPX?
of course I can –HOPEFULLY—just read it. Missed that for some reason.
Ammar on 06.30.11 @ 5:01PM
thanks for posting, I love Magic Bullets , I use it in both Avid Media Composer and After Effects.. It's just the best plugins for grading

Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano to meet with border security officials
CREATED Feb 19, 2013
Reporter: Justin Schecker
NOGALES (KGUN9-TV) - Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will meet with border security officials today in Nogales. This trip comes as President Obama and Congress try to hammer out a new immigration plan.
Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada tells 9 On Your Side he hopes more resources and more cooperation will come after Secretary Napolitano's visit to Southern Arizona. His deputies are on the front line of reducing violence along the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Obviously, somebody we know, somebody we can depend on, somebody that we know is very familiar with the dynamics of the border," Estrada said about having a former Arizona governor in charge of homeland security.
Added resources are working, Sheriff Estrada said, but Border Patrol needs to keep up with the latest technology.
"There's a lot of things that are being applied here along the border and it's all good," Estrada said. "It provides obviously for good surveillance and for good detection of people and activity crossing the border."
As for an overhaul to the country's immigration system, Estrada tells 9 On Your Side it is inevitable.
"You have to address the people that are here," he said. "You have to find a way to be able to include them into mainstream and hopefully they can accomplish that without putting too many barriers and hurdles in the way."
Nine On Your Side is sending a crew to the border, so be sure to stay with KGUN9 for updates on Secretary Napolitano's visit.

I wear a fenteyl patch 50mcg for chronic back pain and was taking Utram ER for break through pain before my surgury. Now 2 days after pain is still bad but not as acute The arguements I have had with the dr's and nurses to justify my pain haven't been worth the drug or the rx cost.

I take this Med along with Actiqs,(not together,WILL cause central nervous overload). It helps quite well for my back pain that I suffer from due to past surgeries from having cancer.

A good pitch which is in your face right off the ground. Fingers, tight hands, hands, liebacks, body language all required at some point. Crux is low, but the entire first half of the route is sustained at the grade. A proud send, put up by two collosal figures in Yosemite's golden age, when 5.9 was a whole different concept.
From the boulder field, keep your eyes open for the two obvious, short widecracks, Doggie Do and Doggie Diversions. Doggie Deviations, your climb, is just uphill from these. Fingers to tight-hands off the deck, can't miss it.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
A wonderful hostel, possibly the best i've ever stayed at. Lots of opportunities to socialise with others staying there. It was also nice to be a little bit away from the CBD, i loved being so close to the beauty of lincoln park and the beach, but when you want to go into the CBD it's super easy and cheap by train. Great value for money.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I enjoyed six excellents nights in this brilliant hostel in November. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Chicago. Would use it again and again.

I was very pleased with the experience I had while staying at the Chicago Getaway Hostel. It was within walking distance of great places to eat and had a large kitchen for those who wanted to dine in. The free WiFi was very accommodating as well as the newly remodeled rooms. The staff was friendly and very helpful in the process of reserving a room. And, you just can't beat the price!
If you want a safe, super fun, very convenient place to stay on your trip to Chicago I suggest Chicago Getaway. I got a private-private room and I was amazed at how much good clean space I had. There is hot water, A/C-Heater, nice clean beds, Outlets, Communal Kitchen, Communal bathrooms, lobby with a Grand Piano, a Den room to kick it and chill, pool table, free 24/7 internet cafe inside, Cool artwork, and best of the all the Staff is AMAZING! They will give you an opinion and advice if you need of where to go and how to get there and their own experiences. They made my stay SO MUCH MORE Comfortable and inviting. You definitely have to appreciate communal living, it's like dorm and the people make it even more interesting and enjoyable. I will definitely be returning there on my next visit.
Great location with a friendly staff. Appears they have recently remodeled. The price is so cheap that one cannot complain about anything. Free internet which is nice, and located right near Lincoln Park with great nightlife and a young crowd. Can't beat it!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
The staff were very friendly and the room was very clean and comfortable. It is clear there have been major improvements since our last stay. The only issue we had was that the Traveler's Point info for the hostel noted they had available parking. Upon our check in, we were told this was not true, and had to find street parking nearby. We lucked out and found a decent spot, but this was probably just luck, as it is Chicago. We could have been really inconvenienced by this discrepancy in advertising.
We did enjoy overall however -
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Nice hotel, helpful staff, with free breakfast and Wifi. The hotel had a particular smell I did not like, but everything else is fantastic!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Absolutely brilliant value.

Bossier City police have released the names of the man and woman involved in an apparent murder-suicide that occurred last week.
Police were called to the scene at approximately 10:15 p.m. last Thursday to a home in the 2400 block of Tulip St., after a family member found 56-year old Phouthasak Inthilatvongsy and 50-year old Boulao Sanouvong unresponsive in a bedroom inside. Investigators say both had sustained gunshot wounds.
Based on information and evidence found at the scene, detectives with the BCPD Violent Crimes Unit and the Bossier Coroner's Office say it appears Inthilatvongsy shot and killed Sanouvong and then shot himself.
Detectives say it appears both had been deceased for several hours when their bodies were discovered. Police say they recovered a firearm at the scene.

Pearl's a star – 40 years of help at Southend Hospital
6:00am Sunday 2nd March 2014 in Echo News By Ian Weinfass, Senior reporter
A KIND-HEARTED and dedicated woman is celebrating 40 years of volunteering at Southend Hospital.
Pearl Naylor, from Thorpe Bay, will be a familiar face to anyone who has used the hospital's information desk, because she has manned it for two decades – after coming up with the idea herself.
She began her volunteering career at Rochford Hospital in February 1974 and went on to spend a lot of time on the old stroke day care unit at the now defunct Balmoral Hospital.
Pearl said: "Back in those days, volunteers were very hands on with the patients. I used to help wash them and set their hair."
When the Southend Hospital sites merged, 20 years ago, Pearl suggested creating an information desk to help people find their way around the new buildings.
She's been helping out on that desk ever since, with her idea spawning two other desks, one in the tower block outpatients department and the other in the Cardigan Wing.
Pearl now meets and greets patients, guiding them to the correct wards and clinics and answers any questions hospital visitors may have.
She has also volunteered at Fair Havens Hospice, Westcliff, for more than 30 years and wasmade an MBE in 2012 for services to both the hospital and hospice.
Jane O'Connell, the hospital's voluntary services manager, said: "Pearl is a massive asset to this hospital.
"She is old-school – always immaculately turned out, unfailingly courteous, kind and informative. She really cares about patients and their families. We are very lucky to have her."
Pearl has no plans to give up any time soon. She said: "I love it. There is a need for it and while I'm able, I'll carry on volunteering.
I find it very rewarding – long may it last."

The Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority has delivered to Gov. Bob McDonnell a five-year strategic plan as required by legislation the General Assembly passed during the 2011 session.
The plan evaluates the current state of the authority and describes eight strategic objectives for it to pursue during the next five years. The Startegic Plan, dated Dec. 1, 2012, may be read in full here.
Legislation that took effect July 1, 2012 reconstituted the space flight authority, reformed its board of directors, amended its powers and duties, and provided it additional funding - about $50-million over five years.
The authority "is now poised to become one of the most useable spaceports in the United States. This strategic plan charts the path to achieving that goal, as well as the associated economic development and job creation opportunities resulting from Virginia's position as a leader in a rapidly growing arena," Executive Director Dale K. Nash wrote in a letter to McDonnell accompanying the plan.

(WMC-TV) - Memphis and Shelby County are not the only areas facing budget issues and proposed cuts. The City of Millington is facing similar problems. In fact, council members met Thursday to trim the fat from next year's budget. That trimming includes the elimination of police officers, firefighters, and a property tax increase.
"There's two things we know, just like Memphis, there's gonna be layoffs and there's gonna be a tax increase," said Millington Vice Mayor Chris Ford.
Vice Mayor Ford is one of the most senior members of the city's board. He says he has never seen the city's finances in such shambles.
"Have we made all the cuts we can make? Are we making the right layoffs? Does the tax increase really need to be 41 cents or can it be something else?" he wondered.
On the table is the elimination of 18 jobs and a property tax hike.
Ford says one-third of those job cuts could come from the city's police and fire departments.
From the police department, it would include the loss of one police inspector, three patrolmen, and one dispatcher. It would also cut the fire chief's job and a longtime fire inspector's job.
"We're annexing Lucy," added Ford. "Our borders in Millington are getting bigger but we're decreasing personnel. What are we able to give up? I'm not willing to do it in fire and safety."
Signs all over Millington encourage residents to vote for a municipal school district July 16, saying the city can afford it.
Ford says the money for that school system comes from a half-cent sales tax increase and not from the proposed property tax increase. He says the two are completely different.
"I do think some cuts are necessary," he continued. "I think some departments are too large and fundamentally we can consolidate some departments."
Ford says he is pushing for a 30-day extension on the passage of the city's final budget. But as of now, the third and final reading is set to take place next Thursday at Millington City Hall.

Welcome to Main St. Books - Used Books and More!
Two Authors share their experiences with show business
Main Street Books hosts a very special event on September 21st, 6:00pm.
Charles Long thrilled opera audiences for over two decades, performing on some of America's and the world's most famous stages and singing alongside some of the medium's greatest stars. Now retired, Long vividly recounts many of those experiences in "Adventures in the Scream Trade: Scenes from an Operatic Life," his insightful, frank, and humorous memoir. Sparing no one, especially himself, from his acerbic wit and keen observations, he sheds a bright light into a world many of us respect and admire but few of us have ever encountered in such intimate detail. In the process he illustrates why the word "opera," which means "work" in Italian, truly is a labor of love for so many who have given their all to their art.
Penny Orloff was a working actor/dancer in LA when a Juilliard scholarship took her to New York. She had featured roles on Broadway, working for such directors as Harold Prince and Joseph Papp; and sang more than 20 Principal Soprano roles for New York City Opera, under Julius Rudel and Beverly Sills. In a 50+ year career, she starred in over 100 productions off-Broadway, regionally, and on tour. She reviews theatre, symphony, dance and chamber music locally for a variety of print and online outlets. Her novel, "Jewish Thighs on Broadway" was adapted into a solo show of the same name which toured the US for a decade, including a successful off-Broadway run in 2005.
The two met at New York City Opera on the cast of Carmen.

2 Lawyers Seek Removal From Office of DA Who Sought Top Judge's Recusal in Multiple Cases
Posted Jan 18, 2012 5:00 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Turning the tables on a North Carolina district attorney who has repeatedly sought in recent months to disqualify a top Durham County judge from multiple cases, two local attorneys are asking that same judge to remove Durham County DA Tracey Cline from office for cause.
Under state law, a lawyer's affidavit seeking removal of a DA is submitted to Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson—the judge who Cline has repeatedly criticized— because he is the county's senior judge. However, Hudson indicated during a Friday hearing that he wouldn't be comfortable overseeing such a matter, the News & Observer reported. The lawyers then asked him to bring in another judge to do so.
The affidavit by attorney Kerry Sutton cites multiple claimed grounds for Cline's removal under a statutory standard, including "habitual intemperance" and an allegation that the DA's attempts to force Hudson to step down from multiple cases have been prejudicial to the administration of justice, the newspaper says.
Cline, who was elected unopposed to a four-year term in 2010, could not immediately be reached by the newspaper for comment. However, she has previously denied any wrongdoing.
Additional and related coverage:
ABAJournal.com: "Skeptical Judge Hears DA's Motions to Disqualify Top Jurist, Cites 'Magic 8 Ball'"
Herald Sun: "Attorney answers Cline's charge"
News & Observer: "DA Cline's claim on Hudson is false, undercut by clock error"

MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- Some manufacturers in Wisconsin are concerned about the availability of qualified, skilled workers.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports some manufacturing companies lost business or face stagnant growth because they can't find qualified help.
Department of Workforce Development employment centers posted 31,000 job openings statewide last month, including thousands at plants. Many of those are skilled positions.
Manufacturers say one problem is a lack of basic math skills.
And, they say, the shortage of skilled workers could get worse as older employees retire in coming years.

It can be hard to forget that the Rockies have turned into a raging dumpster fire. When all the chatter about the team is about which beloved players are about to get shipped off, it's easy to slip into cynicism. And when Yohan Flande or Christian Friedrich or whatever Quad-A player is starting, that sadness is pretty inescapable. But Tyler Matzek is a reason to watch.
He's a first round pick. He's just 23. He pours 94 mph fastballs over the plate. His minor league walk issues haven't shown up yet in the majors. He could--if you squint--be a piece in a solid rotation. He's worth watching.
Matzek's ERA is a perfectly respectable 4.25 and he has 18 strikeouts against just 8 walks. Three out of his five starts this year have been pretty good. And against a light hitting Padres lineup, there's a solid chance he twirls a gem, mitigating some of the agony of rooting for the Rockies.
We haven't seen the Padres in a while, and...whoa. Someone named Tommy Medica is hitting cleanup? Alright...I guess the Rockies aren't the only ones going through lean times. The Padres are the first losing team the Rockies have faced in quite some time, so maybe a course correction could happen this series. It's about time. Because really, this has been awful.
Ian Kennedy gets the ball for the Friars. He has a very solid 3.56 ERA at Coors Field in seven starts, so you can't just hope he'll turn into a pumpkin at altitude. The Rockies will counter with basically their A lineup, though Wilin Rosario is out in favor of Mike McKenry. Frankly, McKenry might be a better option anyway, as Wilin is showing less and less aptitude for the game.

An outlandish, in-your-face stage presence, a strange sense of humor, and a hard-driving funk sound that criss-crossed a few musical boundaries earned Cameo countless comparisons to Parliament/Funkadelic in their early days. However, Cameo eventually wore off accusations of being derivative by transcending their influences and outlasting almost every single one of them. Throughout the '70s and '80s, the group remained up with the times and occasionally crept ahead of them, such that they became influences themselves upon younger generations of R&B and hip-hop acts.

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo.—Authorities say they rescued six anglers from an ice floe that broke away from the shore of Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
The rescue occurred Friday but wasn't announced until Monday. No injuries were reported.
The anglers, from Wyoming and Colorado, told Sweetwater County sheriff's deputies they started fishing at 6:30 a.m. Friday and at 9 a.m. realized they were drifting away from shore.
Four Green River Fire Department members trained in ice rescues brought the anglers to shore in a boat. A sheriff's department release didn't say how far the ice had drifted.
The anglers were identified as 48-year-old Dean Hunhoff and 35-year-old Kenton Taylor of Cheyenne, Bryan Cowhan and John Henley, both 36, of Brighton, Colo., 35-year-old Brian Gross of Westminster, Colo., and 34-year-old William Torres of Thornton, Colo.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Hollywood can be a male-dominated town, but the actresses, producers, and industry stalwarts of Women in Film set Oscar weekend in motion yesterday. The organization—along with MAC, Max Mara, and Perrier-Jouët—threw its sixth annual pre-Oscars cocktail last night, hosted by last year's best supporting actress, Octavia Spencer. She was glad to lend some of her own support to fellow actresses, she said. "Men are celebrated every day. It's easy to get a project green-lighted if you're a guy," she explained. "That's why I'm excited about Bridesmaids and [2012 nominee] Melissa McCarthy"—an actress Spencer thinks is changing the game.
Plenty of Sunday night's nominees came to toast their chances, including game changer Quvenzhané Wallis (history's youngest best-actress nominee), Jessica Chastain, and Silver Linings Playbook's Jacki Weaver. "When we were making it, we knew it was special," she said of the film that's up for eight awards Sunday night. Weaver's director, David O. Russell, revealed that his star, Jennifer Lawrence, almost missed out on her Oscar-nominated leading role. "Jennifer was a last-minute, 'I don't think this will work' Skype audition, and she ended up stealing the role."
Not far away, the Elton John AIDS Foundation and LoveGold celebrated a Best Documentary Feature nominee, the AIDS doc How to Survive a Plague, at Chateau Marmont. Sir Elton, Sharon Stone, and Cameron Silver were on hand, as was the film's director, David France. "It tells an incredible story," he said of the film, "a true story about how a group of disenfranchised people changed the world." Hoorsenbuhs' Robert Keith and Kether Parker were there to show not only support but also a few jewels from their men's collection. "I like the gold, intensive pieces. They're masculine," Parker said. Not a bad consolation prize to keep in mind for anyone who doesn't take the gold this Sunday night.
