Jets Bogosian, Wheeler among NHL players to file for arbitration
Five members of the Winnipeg Jets -- including three of their big guns in Zach Bogosian, Blake Wheeler and Bryan Little -- have filed for salary arbitration before today's deadline.
The three, as well as Paul Postma and Eric Tangradi from the Jets, are part of a group of 21 players from across the National Hockey League who elected to go that route.
The deadline for club-elected salary arbitration notification is Thursday at 4 p.m. with the hearings to be held in Toronto from July 22-Aug. 6.
Anton Thun, the agent for Little, explained what electing for salary arbitration means: "Filing is simply the start of the arbitration process. It is simply a notice to the other side to elect arbitration and has nothing to do with the actual negotiations. No dollar figures are attached to a notice."
But if a player and the team cannot come to terms on a new deal before the hearings end, the maximum length of a contract an arbitrator can award is two years. That's a significant number for the Jets, who are attempting to lock Bogosian, Wheeler and Little into longer-term deals.
The other 16 NHLers who elected salary arbitration are: Brendan Smith (Detroit), Sam Gagner (Edmonton), Trevor Lewis, Alec Martinez, Jake Muzzin and Jordan Nolan (Los Angeles), Ryan White (Montreal), Nick Spaling (Nashville), Josh Bailey (NY Islanders), Mats Zuccarello (NY Ranges), Eric Condra (Ottawa), Robert Bortuzzo (Pittsburgh), Chris Stewart (St. Louis), Mark Fraser, Carl Gunnarsson (Toronto) and Dale Weise (Vancouver).

Tucson, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Connor Halliday threw a pair of touchdown passes to lead the Washington State Cougars to a 24-17 Pac-12 victory over the Arizona Wildcats at Arizona Stadium.
Halliday led the Cougars (5-5, 3-4 Pac-12) with 319 passing yards on 39-of-53 efficiency and was picked off once. Marcus Mason had 63 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. Dom Williams led all receivers with 75 yards and seven catches.
Arizona (6-4, 3-4) was paced by B.J. Denker, who connected on 26-of-38 pass attempts for 200 yards and one touchdown. Ka'Deem Carey rushed for a game- high 132 yards and a score on 26 attempts. Carey also tied Nate Phillips for the team-lead the team with 45 receiving yards and a touchdown on six receptions.
The Cougars struck first as Mason scored on a 15-yard touchdown rush put the visitors ahead, 7-0, with 7:10 left in the first quarter. They added to their lead as Andrew Furney made a 24-yard field goal with just over two minutes left in the opening stanza.
Arizona finally produced some points in the final minute of the first quarter and narrowed its deficit to 10-7 as Carey broke away for a 30-yard touchdown run.
The Wildcats went in front as Denker completed a seven-yard touchdown pass to Carey that gave the visitors a 14-10 advantage with 7:37 remaining in the first half. Neither defense allowed another score in the second quarter.
Washington State regained control as Halliday connected with River Cracraft on a 23-yard touchdown pass to take a 17-14 lead at the 11:17 mark of the third period.
Jake Smith connected on a 25-yard field goal attempt with 6:36 left in the third quarter to tie the score at 17.
Both offenses struggled the majority of the fourth frame. The Cougars finally ended a span of over 19 minutes without any scoring with a late go-ahead touchdown. Halliday connected with Isiah Myers on a 25-yard touchdown pass to put Washington state up 24-17 with only 2:15 left to play.
Arizona managed to drive to WSU's 13-yard line, but Denker threw an incomplete pass on fourth down with 12 seconds left to end its threat.
This win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Cougars, who finished with a 420-395 edge in total yards of offense.

The party's main constituency offices at Ráth Mór on the Eastway Road was targeted late on Sunday.
Police said a rear window was broken and a flammable liquid poured through shortly before midnight.
The scene was held overnight and police investigations are continuing.
A fire service spokesman said crews dealt with the blaze for around an hour.
He added: "It was a relatively small fire which we managed to contain quickly.
"Damage was caused to offices in one section of the building and we are treating the incident as deliberate."
Sinn Féin said it was "business as usual" at the offices on Monday.
MLA Raymond McCartney said: "This must be condemned as an attempt to attack the democratic process.
"It will not stop us working or the people of Derry.
"It will be business as usual for Derry Sinn Féin, continuing to serve the people of the city and the wider north west."
Police are appealing for information.

Deputies: Boy, 10, cuts mom to go back to jail
Deputies in Volusia County said a 10-year-old boy cut his stepmother with a kitchen knife three times to get back into juvenile detention because he said the food is better.
Investigators said the victim called investigators from her Orange City home Tuesday evening saying deputies had responded earlier in the day because the child wanted to be Baker-acted but didn't meet the criteria.
The boy told deputies he cut his stepmother so he could go to the Halifax Behavioral Unit for care and the juvenile detention center because the food is better than at home.
Officials said the woman's injuries were minor.

Peter Bills: A tale of two fly halves
Wednesday 29 December 2010
A tale of two fly halves this holiday season.... A pair of international rugby players, we shall see, of considerable playing abilities on the field but very different values and principles, away from it.
One resides in the south of France, one in the West of England. But they offer a completely separate image of the modern day, professional rugby player.
Wilkinson has been, and remains, a shining example of the true professional. He has long been dedicated to his sport, assiduous and meticulous in his preparation and performances. Nothing and no-one has been allowed to come before his never ending search for perfection on the field, nor his immaculate behaviour off it.
Wilkinson is a credit to his sport and his employers, whoever they may be. England and the French club Toulon are fortunate still to be able to call upon his services although we must assume that his days in the international arena are now numbered.
What has made Wilkinson so special, disregarding for a moment his abilities on the playing field, has been his persona off it. He has brought a quiet courtesy, immaculate behavioural standards and an image from which his sport has reaped enormous benefits.
Sportsmen who have reached the top of their game can offer no more than that.
So now we come to James, the South African at Bath, a man who has declared it is probably time to head home to his own country.
To the Lions, the Sharks....who knows? The former Springbok who has spent these last few seasons with English Premiership club Bath has also let it be known, as if we were somehow not aware, that there is a World Cup approaching in 2011.
The two facts are strongly connected, in James's mind. He knows full well his chances of participation in the latter may well depend upon enacting his sentiments in the former statement. In other words, if James can get back to South Africa in time for the start of the Super 15 in late February, he will greatly enhance his prospects of making the Springbok squad for the World Cup.
What could be a better idea, what could possibly be a neater, cleaner scenario? Alas, there is but one problem. James is contracted to Bath.
Now this might seem a minor issue, if you look at it only from the player's point of view. He has given the English club loyal service and doubtless feels he has paid his dues. If he expresses publicly his views, so the thinking probably goes, the club might look kindly upon his request and release him from his contract.
It would be an ideal scenario.....if you believe a player should always hold all the cards, always be able to opt in and out of contracts as he sees fit, as suits him.
I find the situation absurd. Butch James was released by Bath for Tri-Nations duties last August at a time when they desperately needed him to be a crucial part of their pre-season preparations. He flew off, played for the Springboks – and injured his shoulder.
So badly, in fact, that he could not play a single game of the new northern hemisphere season, which began in late August, until a few days before Christmas.
Through those four months of inactivity, during which Bath inevitably struggled without him, James was paid his full wages. Even though he was out with an injury suffered when he wasn't even playing for his club.
And the club's reward for the commitment, faith, patience and understanding they have shown throughout this long, frustrating period? James hints publicly it would be more convenient for him if he could now slope off home and, in essence, be released from the remaining time on his contract.
How's that for loyalty, for thanks? But it's typical of the majority of professional sportsmen whatever their game. Their only interest is themselves and extracting the maximum benefit for their own bank account or situation.
Loyalty, repaying understanding and decency doesn't seem to be part of their philosophy.
All of which is pretty depressing if somewhat predictable. We should be thankful, therefore, for the occasional exception to the rule. Someone like Jonny Wilkinson, for example............

Students Use Crayola Crayons on New Full Sail Art Project [Video]
When you think of an art project where the artists are only allowed to use Crayola crayons as their implements, you do not think that it will also include lighters. And heat guns. And baking trays. At least we didn't, until we witnessed 15 Computer Animation and Game Art students thinking outside of the box and using all of those items during the most recent Full Sail Art Project.
The project is similar to the one that took place back in September, when students created a new cover photo for our Facebook page and Art of Full Sail Tumblr using only Sharpies. This time around – instead of making one cohesive banner – the students worked together to create six separate 3'5″ x 1′ by 1′ panels.
Check out a video recap of the project below.

Sir Elton John is on the mend, his civil partner David Furnish has announced.
The star had been suffering from a respiratory infection which resulted in him being admitted to hospital.
The singer cancelled three Las Vegas performances after being taken to hospital earlier this month.
Speaking at the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards, David - who has a toddler, Zachary, with the singer - said Sir Elton was getting better.
"Thank you for your well wishes," he said. "He's doing incredibly well and recovering."
Sir Elton was admitted to Los Angeles Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre for a series of tests but went home the same day.
The singer, who is due to play at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert, has said in a statement that he was sorry he could not be with his fans.

Mass. town cancels parade, citing aging veterans
Veterans in suburban Boston gathered in a park to mark Memorial Day this year rather than hold a parade because of failing health and dwindling numbers.
The Associated Press
Veterans in suburban Boston gathered in a park to mark Memorial Day this year rather than hold a parade because of failing health and dwindling numbers.
The city of Beverly called off its parade this year because so few veterans would be able to march. The parade has been a fixture in the town since the Civil War.
Jerry Guilebbe is the city's Director of Veterans' Services. He says it can be difficult for older vets to take part.
Vietnam veteran Ron Innocenti tells WBZ-TV he hates canceling because of the message it sends to current service members. But he does understand the reason.
World War II Navy veteran Bill McPherson tells NECN he's upset about parade cancellation but "there aren't that many of us left."

At the end of October we visited Jalousie Resort in St Lucia and was stuck in what was ground zero of Hurricane Tomas. We were stuck in a real mess but no one was hurt. The staff was magnificent and took care of its guests. We were impressed enough to go back 10 weeks later in early January bring with us 2 other couples. First, anyone that goes to St Lucia shoud stay on the southern and much prettier side of the island. Second, The staff of Jalousie (soon to be called Tides Sugar Beach) did an excellent job putting the place together. We had no complaints. If you wish to see our travel log go to www.tabhauser.com and click Jalaousie or even Hurricane Tomas if you are curious. This is my personal site, no advertising, no signing in.

Tabhauser, what a great travel log, good for you to have had so many fabulous travel experiences!
Next year, we are going to St. Lucia and staying at the tree house near Anse Chastanet Resort. Did you happen to see where we are staying? I know there are now two, and we will be staying in the new one. Sadly, Jalousie is out of our price range as we are still putting kids through college!
Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you for your trip report and photos. We will be at Jalousie soon and are so excited!

Annse Chastanet is an really nice place also. We were there 15 years ago. The big difference is beach is 90 steps below. Do go to dinner at GEE's up the hill from Souffrie. It is mixed with locals and tourists and probably 20% less than the food at the hotel. If you have a car go to Debbie's in Labourie

The "Fast Money" traders give their final trades of the day.» Read More
Stocks closed near the unchanged mark as investors pulled money out of the tech sector and moved into energy stocks. "With the recent volatility that we've had, investors are taking a closer look at their portfolios and they're a little more cautious," said Ron Papanek, a strategist with RiskMetrics Group.
The guys (and gal) go behind the headlines and give you the traders take on the Palm/MOTO disaster... the Blackstone $4 billion IPO... the EU open skies... and more. Find out where they see fast money.
KB Home, the 5th largest U.S. home builder, said quarterly net profit fell 84%, reflecting the sharp decline in the U.S. housing market.
For Cramer, there is only one alternative energy play, one home builder worthy of recommending and one big loser in oil.Investing can be confusing. Luckily, Cramer has mapped out some road rules for all you Home Gamers trying to navigate the jungle that is Wall Street. Think of it as "Mad Money 101" –- some fundamental advice to keep in mind as you play the market. Whether you're a first time investor or a seasoned financier, it's always good to remember the basics.
The Department of Justice has launched a probe into the handling of stock options at KB Home, one of the nation's largest homebuilders, although it is not targeting the company directly, KB Home said.
Toll Brothers today said its first-quarter profit plunged 67% compared with last year; the luxury-home builder's CEO, Robert Toll, said there are still too many soft markets. Which raises the question: Has the bottom come at last? Two analysts called it two different ways on "Power Lunch."
"It's more company-specific news items than anything else," Tony Dwyer, equity market strategist at FTN Midwest Securities, said in an interview with CNBC.com. "You had a very near-term oversold market, you've had a back-and-forth tape over the last few days, so today evens it out."
KB Home reported a net loss of $49.6 million, or 64 cents a share, for the fiscal fourth quarter ended Nov. 30, compared with net income of $304.4 million, or $3.44 a share, a year earlier.
A bright spot in today's earnings report from KB Home, one of the nation's largest home builders: prices on their homes are coming down this quarter. While the company posted some nasty earnings for the fiscal fourth quarter and is showing a 48% cancellation rate, that fact bodes well for the usually busy spring season.
Stocks inched their way to a positive close after a sharp reversal in oil eased selling pressure and a late buying spree broke out in internet stocks.
KB Home said Friday the Securities and Exchange Commission has launched a formal investigation into the homebuilder's stock-option granting practices.
KB Home is joining what's becoming a long list of companies caught up in the stock back dating issue. The home builder announced that it's under formal investigation by the SEC for improper stock option practices. The company CEO Bruce Karatz resigned (or retired) last fall over the backdating issue. Right now--more than two hundred companies are under a similar microscope (including computer giant Apple).
Stocks suffered their biggest pullback in two months as a disappointing bond auction and a lackluster report on sales of existing homes halted the market's two-day rally.
Today's U.S. housing numbers that we've been reporting have some very good news--and some not so good news (seems most economic reports out lately are a double edged sword). First--the housing starts for multi-family homes are up 42% in the month of December (the largest jump since April of 2005.) Great, right? Well hold on. CNBC's Diana Olick reported from a KB Home site in Florida--that the celebration might be premature.
Lennar, one of the nation's largest home builders, reported a sharp fourth-quarter loss after writing down the value of its property investments amid a weakening housing market.
A soft landing is still a landing – and CGM Realty Fund's Kenneth Heebner is preparing to roll with it. He serves as portfolio manager at the fund, which has been warily watching the real estate market's more moribund developments – such as the sudden glut in unsold condominiums in cities like New York, Boston and Washington, DC.
Home builders Centex and KB Home said on Tuesday they would take charges to reduce their land positions in a sign the weakest U.S. housing market in decades may not yet have bottomed.
Financial markets will have plenty of news to feast on in the coming week although the markets generated enough headlines on their own in the first days of January with just a few big stories to chew on. The second week of January is quite busy. We're looking forward to some of the most important and newsy industry conferences of the year, plus the start of earnings season, an important Fed speech, and some fresh economic data.
During the final week of the year, CNBC spoke with analysts to get their top picks for 2007. Large cap names and private equity were winners in 2006, and many analysts are expecting more of the same next year. But look for some picks that may be surprising as well.
Shares of home builders each gained more than 1%, with the overall Dow Jones Home Construction index gaining 10 points, or 1.4%, to 729.58. The index has lost 21% this year, and is down about 35% from its high in July 2005.

Book 3 in my Bachelors of Blueberry Cove series - SANDPIPER ISLAND - is finally on sale and I can't wait for you to get your hands on Ford & Delia's story!
Ford Maddox was running from his past when he came back to Blueberry Cove, Maine, where he'd tasted both heartache and comfort. With feisty Delia O'Reilly there to cheer him on, he couldn't have picked a better place to start over–even if he's determined to do it alone in his island tree house, working to save endangered seabirds…and himself. But when he finds Delia fighting to hold on to her local diner, and all that's best about their little seaside town, Ford has to lend a hand. Suddenly two fiercely independent people are building something sweeter than they ever imagined…together.
DIY is so much better with two. . .
Includes an easy do-it-yourself restoration project!
Here's what Publisher's Weekly had to say about the book:
"Kauffman's third visit to endearing Blueberry Cove, Maine solidifies the idea of the whole town as a quirky family…Kauffman's stories show that the bravery to reach for a connection is all we need to discover joy; she excels at expressing the struggles and joys of giving in to love."
— Publisher's Weekly on SANDPIPER ISLAND

Some new information has come in on the release dates for a few upcoming films, and because we love you so, dear reader, we're here to tell you about them. For your convenience, they've been provided in a bullet format.
Variety says that two animated pictures, Leafmen and Turbo, have been given dates by their respective studios, Fox and DreamWorks. The first of these – directed by Blue Sky Studios co-founder Chris Wedge – is about a colony of bugs, and will come out on May 17th, 2013. The other is directed by David Soren, and stars Ryan Reynolds. It tells of an "ordinary garden snail who dreams of becoming the fastest snail in the world." Something happens, giving him extraordinary speed, and he plans to accomplish this goal. You can see what I already imagine is an inspirational story on July 19th, 2013.
BoxOfficeMojo has details on three projects changing their dates. One of these is Everybody Loves Whales, which is directed by Ken Kwapis and stars John Krasinski, Drew Barrymore, Kristen Bell, and Vinessa Shaw. Originally set to come out on January 13th, Universal now has it coming out a little more than a month later on February 3rd. This is about a news reporter who works with a Greenpeace activist to save a family of gray whales trapped by ice in the arctic circle, and how their quest even caused the Soviet Union and the United States to momentarily put their conflict on hold during the Cold War.
After that is Contraband, which has actually been moved up; the original date was March 16th, but it's now January 13th. Baltasar Kormákur helms Universal's thriller, starring Mark Wahlberg, Kate Beckinsale, Giovanni Ribisi, and Ben Foster. Wahlberg plays an ex-smuggler who has to get back into his old business when his brother mishandles a drug deal, and his debts need to be payed off. After assembling a team, he goes to Panama for one last job (ever heard that plot point before?), but things go wrong, leading to his family finding themselves in danger.
Finally, The Woman in Black, which is directed by James Watkins and stars Daniel Radcliffe, has been moved by CBS Films from January 20th to February 3rd. A thriller based on the novel by Susan Hill, it has the Harry Potter star playing a lawyer that travels to a small town, encountering "the ghost of a scorned woman set on vengeance" when he organizes the papers of a client who has recently died. The teaser gave off a great sense of atmosphere, and as someone who is curious to see where the actor's new career takes him, I want to know what's in store.
Which of these movies are you most excited about? Do these dates being set or moved impact your anticipation at all?

Senator: Amazon.com pulls plug on WikiLeaks site after inquiries
Send this to a friend
- Eric Engleman
- Staff Writer
Days after reports emerged that the WikiLeaks website had found safe haven in Amazon.com's servers following a series of hacker attacks, Amazon has reportedly pulled the plug on the anti-secrecy website. U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman issued a statement saying that the online retailer has "ceased to host" the WikiLeaks website following inquiries by his staff.
WikiLeak's recent diplomatic document dump has stirred up a huge political storm, and the fact that the website was making use of Amazon.com's cloud computing service started becoming a big problem for the Seattle online retailer. Lieberman said he will be asking Amazon about the "extent of its relationship with Wikileaks," indicating his inquiries aren't over yet.
Update: WikiLeaks appeared to confirm its removal from Amazon, tweeting, "WikiLeaks servers at Amazon ousted. Free speech the land of the free--fine our $ are now spent to employ people in Europe." The site later added, "If Amazon are so uncomfortable with the first amendment, they should get out of the business of selling books."
Sen. Lieberman's staff contacted Amazon Tuesday for an explanation about the WikiLeaks reports. Here's the senator's full statement:
This morning Amazon informed my staff that it has ceased to host the Wikileaks website. I wish that Amazon had taken this action earlier based on Wikileaks' previous publication of classified material. The company's decision to cut off Wikileaks now is the right decision and should set the standard for other companies Wikileaks is using to distribute its illegally seized material. I call on any other company or organization that is hosting Wikileaks to immediately terminate its relationship with them. Wikileaks' illegal, outrageous, and reckless acts have compromised our national security and put lives at risk around the world. No responsible company – whether American or foreign – should assist Wikileaks in its efforts to disseminate these stolen materials. I will be asking Amazon about the extent of its relationship with Wikileaks and what it and other web service providers will do in the future to ensure that their services are not used to distribute stolen, classified information.

#KUvsOU Obs 3: #kufball rebuild is LONGTERM gig; whoever is HC, 6-7 wins per year is 4-5 yrs away. Not enough talent. @mctait @KansanSports
Joe Gibson totally whiffs on his block and TP3 runs headlong into sure doom. #kufball http://t.co/U75gnn7Sb5
2nd week in a row on 2nd and short: a ball that Mike should've kept. #kufball http://t.co/0dHRhurjWA
Perfectly thrown ball by Mike, dropped by rusty Rodriguez. Parmalee open behind him, too. #kufball http://t.co/jz9Ye55jeq
Way too tight coverage for Mike to make a play. Jimmay should've released into the flats. No pressure. #kufball http://t.co/lHUk4w4wlu
Took Keisau WAY too long to get the 2nd down play call made. #kufball http://t.co/q4TbZVCSa9
TP3 has 1 man to beat. Jimmay in the backfield falls down and misses block. #kufball http://t.co/Uu8PDEiz9C
Great coverage by #BoomerSooner on 1/10. Mike looks down Nigel whole play. Needs to dump to Avery right here #kufball http://t.co/y6XHJmW1eR
Inexplicably, C double teams DT and ILB is unabated to TP3. Why run there? #kufball http://t.co/p46386K55R
2nd & 5 on 1st drive. Huge hole between C and LG. Should've given to TP3. Instead... #kufball http://t.co/BB8hjbw4lA

RT @KU_Football: With two games left to play, Jimmay Mundine's 537 receiving yards is a Kansas record for tight-ends. #kufball http://t.co/oaLE7svHvb
