In Their Own Words
Deliver Value to the Poor, Not Yesterday's Technology
Reverse innovation is not about giving yesterday's technology; it is not about giving cheap products. It's about giving value because poor people want value.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.
Big Think's Edge learning platform for career mentorship and professional development provides engaging and actionable courses delivered by the people who are shaping our future.

Reverse innovation is not about giving yesterday's technology; it is not about giving cheap products. It's about giving value because poor people want value.
I wrote an article in Harvard Business Review asking why can't we build a $300 house? Now, why do you need a $300 house? Just let us look at a simple fact. In the world today there are 75 million people who are homeless. 75 million is the size of the United Kingdom, the same number of people who ...

RISD Museum's Chace Center Galleries: Metcalf Auditorium Providence, RI
This powerful documentary by Academy Award nominated director Steve James (Hoop Dreams) tackles the hot-button issue of the devastating effects of head injuries in sports. With the lens focused on hockey, women's soccer and, most disturbingly, teenage football leagues, Head Games makes the powerful argument that repeated blows to the head, once considered something to simply shrug off, can have fateful, long-term consequences. Compelling evidence is delivered in interviews with numerous scientists… Show more

Originally written on Baseball Hot Corner | Last updated 11/16/14
Today the New York Yankees hope their injury bug starts to die off, as their starting shortstop Derek Jeter returns to the lineup. Jeter has been out since he broke his ankle in the 2012 ALCS vs the Detroit Tigers. Jeter seemed on pace to return for the 2013 season, but a set back in spring training has led him to miss more than an entire half of the 2013 season. Jeter will serve as the designated hitter tonight and bat second against the Kansas City Royals. He has played in four rehab games for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRoaders, but manager Joe Girardi decided to bring him back now due to more injuries. The Yankees remain without Curtis Granderson, Derek Jeter, Francisco Cervelli and Michael Pineda and now Travis Hafner and Brett Gardner appear injured. Jeter will likely be back at his shortstop position on Friday when the Yankees face the Minnesota Twins before the all star break. Since Jeter has been out, Yankees shortstops have combined to hit .211 with two home runs. The ro...

Rosenberg, Ryding, Zandi, Arbess, Zuckermann And Rickards All Chime In On The Future Of The EurozoneSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2011 - 15:49
When six out of five economists (thanks to the magic of Keynesianism... and self promotion from general counsel to general expert) all agree on the same topic, and the very definition of groupthink is that the Eurozone will survive, the glaringly obvious call is precisely the opposite. If there was ever an argument to say that 2012 is the year the Eurozone finally dies, the below video is it.

Guest Post: A Run On The Global Banking System - How Close Are We?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2011 - 14:45
Nine weeks after its bankruptcy, the general public still hasn't quite realized the implications of the MF Global scandal. Our own sense is, this is the first tremor of the earthquake that's coming to the global financial system. And how the central banks and financial regulators treated the "Systemically Important Financial Institutions" that had exposure to MF Global—to the detriment of the ordinary, blameless customer who got royally ripped off in its bankruptcy—is both the template of how the next financial crisis will be handled, and an accelerator that will make the next crisis happen that much sooner. We critics of the current, corrupt state of affairs also sometimes confuse the SIFI's with the system itself, whenever we say, "The whole system is corrupt!" But the system is not corrupt—it's the regulators and SIFI's who are corrupt. If nothing else, the handling of the MF Global bankruptcy has proven that, once and for all. That's why we're pulling out our money now—while we still can. Because once the general public catches on to what we already know . . . oh boy.

Commodities Gone Wild-ishSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2011 - 13:50
While it might be a little premature, we thought an early reflection on the day's moves in commodities worthwhile. As COMEX copper closes -1.7%, its biggest one-day drop since 12/14, Gold and Silver are suffering similarly weak performances - even as the USD weakens. Oil, on the other hand, has staged its largest 5-day rally since 10/27. It seems the reasoning behind all of these moves is beyond mere mortal investors as newsflow is irksomely flip-floppish. We have seen bigger moves and more volume obviously but on a day with little real newsflow and macro data that is mixed at best, these moves are notable.

Presenting Anonymous' "Survival Guide For Citizens In A Revolution"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2011 - 12:10
Following the fireworks from this weekend in which Anonymous hacked and exposed thousands of Stratfor clients and millions of confidential emails, it may be time to pay some more attention to the hacker collective, and specifically a document that was released a few weeks ago titled "Survival Guide for Citizens in a Revolution." As Anonymous itself says, "This is a snapshot of what Anonymous thinks will be useful for your survival in case of a violent revolution in your country. As most of Anonymous works, it will be constantly changed, reused, improved etc. So watch for newer releases." Because all it takes for complete chaos to erupt in addition to the unwind in the financial system, is for one or two major hacks at system critical institutions to precipitate all out social panic. And who knows - while the financial system will self destruct on is own, perhaps Anonymous itself will do this or that vis-a-vis the latter.

Guest Post: Are Commodities Topping Out?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2011 - 11:27
The past several years have seen a growing backlash against "paper" investments as more and more investors consider hard assets to be a safe haven against the implications of central bank money printing. But as the global economy visibly slows, this question arises in many minds: Are commodities, which have been on a tear since the March 2009 bottom, finally topping out? The question requires both a fundamental economic response as well as a technical chart analysis. We can start by observing the common-sense connection between demand for commodities such as copper, cement, steel,etc. and economic expansion. When demand rises faster than supply, prices rise. Since supplies of commodities face all sorts of restraints in terms of extraction rates, energy costs, and declining reserves, increased demand quickly pushes prices higher.

Tradition Analytics Asks The $64K Question: Has The Fed Run Out Of Options To "Grow" Credit Money?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2011 - 10:50
Last week, we presented an equity "valuation" analysis based on Austrian economics, which concluded that the only thing that matters for the economy and for asset prices in general, is the amount of credit money moving one way or another at the margin, ie how active global central banker printers are. Unfortunately, in this economy of record correlations, and in which alpha creation is now impossible, this may well be the only approach to capital markets that works any more. Today, Tradition Analytics takes this analysis from the micro the macro level, explaining why the US, and global, economy is now like a shark - cash has to move (inward) or else the economy will suffocate. Naturally, nothing could make Bernanke happy- according to Tradition, "To sustain the up-cycle banks will have to pump out net new credit probably in the order of about $1 trillion in the coming 8-10 months, even larger than the $700 billion pumped out in the previous 8-10 months." Alas there is a problem with this, very much along the lines of what we discussed last week, which is that the new crude baseline is now a triple digit number, not one in the $30s or even $60s: "it is going to be difficult to sustain this level of credit expansion, not only due to the sheer gravity of the inflation problem that would follow, but also simply due to the fact that it is always increasingly difficult to extend more credit at the margin, and this time into an economy that is already steeped in credit."

Biggest 2 Month Jump In Confidence Since May 09 As Housing Drops To March 03 LevelsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2011 - 10:41
UPDATE: And then Dallas Fed manufacturing misses (at -3.0 vs +4.8 expectations) as expectations for future finished goods plunge as do current inventories.
As if we needed yet further evidence of the dichotomous macro data that seems to provide as much bearish fodder as bullish decoupling confidence, today sees a near-record two-month jump in conference board confidence at the same time as S&P/Case-Shiller prints at a seasonally-adjusted 103 month low. With the Richmond Fed also missing expectations (though positive), we remain in the miasma of CONfidence uninspiring macro data as the underlying sub-indices of the conference board data show little to no shift in purchasing decisions despite some seemingly incredulous ramp in confidence that incomes will rise more than they decline in the next six months.

America Maxes Out Its Credit Card Again - Treasury To Raise Debt Limit By Another $1.2 Trillion On December 30Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2011 - 10:22
You didn't think US consumer confidence could be bought for free now did you?
And the piece de resistance that 100% debt to GDP brings:
Just as we thought the circus was over if only for a few weeks. Also, this means that in a few days, the US debt ceiling will be raised from $15.194 trillion to $16.394 trillion. As a reminder, US GDP was just revised down to $15.176 trillion.

Guest Post: Why Am I HopefulSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2011 - 07:45
Readers often ask me to post something hopeful, and I understand why: doom-and-gloom gets tiresome. Human beings need hope just as they need oxygen, and the destruction of the Status Quo via over-reach and internal contradictions doesn't leave much to be happy about. The most hopeful thing in my mind is that the Status Quo is devolving from its internal contradictions and excesses. It is a perverse, intensely destructive system with horrific incentives for predation, exploitation, fraud and complicity and few disincentives. A more human world lies just beyond the edge of the Status Quo. I know many smart, well-informed people expect the worst once the Status Quo (the Savior State and its corporatocracy partners) devolves, and there is abundant evidence of the ugliness of human nature under duress. But we should temper this Id ugliness with the stronger impulses of community and compassion. If greed and rapaciousness were the dominant forces within human nature, then the species would have either died out at its own hand or been limited to small savage populations kept in check by the predation of neighboring groups, none of which could expand much because inner conflict would limit their ability to grow. The remarkable success of humanity as a species is not simply the result of a big brain, opposable thumbs, year-round sex, innovation or even language; it is also the result of social and cultural associations that act as a "network" for storing knowledge and good will--what we call technical and social capital.

Here is what the consensus expects today, even as US economic data is once again irrelevant as Italy has taken front and center following the Zero Hedge report that ECB deposit facilities hit an all time record, leading to Italian BTPs widening to over 7% yet again, an a margin hike by LCH imminent.

Thanksgiving Day Massacre: Sears Slaughtered On Collapsing Margins, To Shutter Hundreds Of Stores, Provides Revolver UpdateSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2011 - 06:24
That retailer Sears, aka K-Mart, just preannounced what can only be described as catastrophic Q4 results should not be a surprise to anyone: after all we have been warning ever since the "record" thanksgiving holiday that when you literally dump merchandize at stunning losses, losses will, stunningly, follow. Sure enough enter Sears. What we, however, are ourselves stunned by is that as part of its preannouncement, Sears has decided it would be prudent to provide an update on its credit facility status... and availability. As a reminder to anyone and everyone - there is no more sure way of committing corporate suicide than openly inviting the bear raid which always appears whenever the words "revolving credit facility" and "availability" appear in the same press release. Just recall MF Global. And here, as there, we expect shorting to death to commence in 5...4...3...

Anonymous Explains Why 2.7 Million Stratfor Emails Were HackedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2011 - 06:04
Anonymous' Barrett Brown speaks: "Stratfor was not breached in order to obtain customer credit card numbers, which the hackers in question could not have expected to be as easily obtainable as they were. Rather, the operation was pursued in order to obtain the 2.7 million e-mails that exist on the firm's servers. This wealth of data includes correspondence with untold thousands of contacts who have spoken to Stratfor's employees off the record over more than a decade. Many of those contacts work for major corporations within the intelligence and military contracting sectors, government agencies, and other institutions for which Anonymous and associated parties have developed an interest since February of 2011, when another hack against the intelligence contractor/security firm HBGary revealed, among many other things, a widespread conspiracy by the Justice Department, Bank of America, and other parties to attack and discredit Wikileaks and other activist groups. Since that time, many of us in the movement have dedicated our lives to investigating this state-corporate alliance against the free information movement. For this and other reasons, operations have been conducted against Booz Allen Hamilton, Unveillance, NATO, and other relevant institutions."

LTRO "Bazooka" Is Epic Disaster As Banks Scramble To Redeposit "Free Carry" Cash With ECB, Lose Money On "Inverse Carry"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2011 - 04:54
When on Friday we penned "And This Is Where The LTRO Money Went" we said that the final nail in the "Carry Trade" theory was that instead of using the LTRO "Bazooka" cash to collect meaningless pennies in front of a steamroller, Europe's banks turned around and deposited it right back with the ECB after the bank's deposit facility soared to a 2011 record €347 billion, €82 billion more than the day before. Today, any residual doubt of where the LTRO cash proceeds went is eliminated, as the ECB has just confirmed that what goes out of one pocket comes back in the other, as the ECB's deposit facility has just exploded to not a 2011 record, but an all time record high €412 billion, a €65 billion increase overnight, and €167 billion higher in the past two days alone, which effectively accounts for practically all of the LTRO's free €210 billion... But the biggest slap in the face of Sarkozy is that instead of banks pocketing the "guaranteed" 2-3% in carry trade between the 1% LTRO rate and the soveriegn bond yield, banks are losing 75 basis point on this inverse carry trade, where they take LTRO cash and deposit it with the ECB where it yields... 0.25%!

Market Snapshot: Asia Down, Europe StableSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/27/2011 - 03:08
Despite more ramblings from Juncker this morning, the overnight session in Asia saw comments on downside risks from the BoJ drive risk assets modestly lower. Led by Japan, Asia-Pac equities were down around 0.3%. While EURUSD is higher by 25pips or so from Christmas Eve's close (and implicitly USD weaker), commodities are broadly underperforming with Copper worst (-1.3%), Gold (under $1600) and Silver in line -0.8%, and Oil just underwater from 12/23 close. European credit markets just started trading and are a smidge tighter - though liquidity is questionable for now - but sovereigns are leaking wider in spread with Italian 10Y worst for now +13bps (and BTP yields now breaking 7% again). US TSYs are 1-2bps lower in yield from the afternoon surge on Christmas Eve's discorrelated action. Given the markets that are open so far, CONTEXT (a broad risk market proxy for where ES - the e-mini S&P futures contract - should trade) is practically unchanged, which given the late-day surge on 12/23, leaves us looking for modest weakness when it re-opens later today.

AWACS upgrade achieves initial operational capability
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
By Darren D. Heusel, Tinker Air Force Base Public Affairs / Published August 15, 2014
An E-3G Sentry, an Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft, sits on a flightline. In support of air-to-ground operations, Sentry crews can provide direct information needed for interdiction, reconnaissance, airlift and close air support for friendly ground forces. They can also provide information for commanders of air operations to gain and maintain control of the air battle. (Courtesy photo)
TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. (AFNS) --
The commander of Air Combat Command, Gen. Mike Hostage, declared initial operational capability for the 552nd Air Control Wing's E-3G Sentry, an Airborne Warning and Control System Block 40/45 aircraft, July 28, here.
"This modification represents the most significant upgrade in the 35-plus year history of the E-3 AWACS and greatly enhances our crew members' ability to execute the command and control mission while providing a building block for future upgrades," said Col. Jay R. Bickley, the 552nd ACW commander.
Bickley said meeting this milestone is a testament to outstanding teamwork as evidenced with the great partnership enjoyed between the 552nd ACW, the AWACS system program office, ACC, Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, or ALC, and the wing's contracting partners.
Gordon Fitzgerald, the 552nd ACW's director for requirements, said six Block 40/45 modified aircraft have been delivered to the 552nd ACW and two of the E-3G models have been successfully deployed in support of counterdrug operations.
He also said the wing has Block 40/45 specific parts, support equipment and technical data on hand. The wing has completed initial training and initiated a structured plan for ongoing training.
"We are confident we can deploy and support this important weapon system worldwide," Fitzgerald said.
Brig. Gen. Gene Kirkland, the Oklahoma City ALC commander, said the complex workforce is proud to be part of an important operational milestone, but there is still much left to do to give the 552nd ACW more 40/45 capable platforms.
Bickley praised the many members of the AWACS team who made the milestone possible, adding, "This is a great asset for U.S. command and control and a milestone we can all be proud to be a part of."
The 552nd ACW is home to the E-3, with a majority of its AWACS aircraft being housed here and the remaining aircraft split between Kadena Air Base, Japan, and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska.
According to Fitzgerald, the entire fleet of E-3 aircraft will be upgraded by fiscal year 2020.
Known for its signature black-and-white rotating radar dome that sits on top of the aircraft, the E-3 provides all-weather surveillance, command, control and communications needed by commanders of U.S., NATO and other allied air defense forces.
In support of air-to-ground operations, the Sentry can provide direct information needed for interdiction, reconnaissance, airlift and close air support for friendly ground forces. It can also provide information for commanders of air operations to gain and maintain control of the air battle.
As an air defense system, E-3s can detect, identify and track airborne enemy forces far from the boundaries of the U.S. or NATO countries. It can direct fighter-interceptor aircraft to enemy targets. The E-3 Sentry is designed to respond quickly and effectively to a crisis and support worldwide military deployment operations.
The 552nd ACW has had a continuing presence in the Middle East, flying more than 14,000 sorties and logging more than 130,000 flying hours from 1980 to 2003. In 2003, the wing returned to Tinker AFB for a break in deployment. The break didn't last long. In early 2007, the wing returned and re-established its presence in the region.

This was a huge honor, of course, because usually I have Maxnmona and/or BobServo write my stuff so I can sit back and laugh when people tell me how unfunny it is. With any luck the word "faggot" will be emailed with some sort of reverence since Lowtax was behind this one.
Last week there was a shipping fiasco so I ended up doing an AMDB while Zack did a movie review. Since Zack wrote a review that both summarized the movie AND made jokes, I figure the bar's been set for me. Next week we'll be looking at "The Hillz" and then "Quiltface" or "Hard Rock Zombies," depending on what Netflix decides to send me.
Per usual, thanks to everyone who takes the time to write in. At this stage in my life I'm pretty much a gigantic walking ego and nothing pleases me more than printing out a bunch of positive emails and rolling nude in a pile of them until the neighbors call the cops.

Goligoski's an overpayment by himself for a Steve Ott rental.
I'm gonna go the other route on this. I would take Eriksson before I took Neal. I'm fairly convinced that Eriksson is a younger version of Marian Hossa, with great goal scoring ability, ability to play in all situations including the PK, fast, just everything you could possibly want in a winger. Plus, he's signed this year at 1.6M and then the next 4 years after that 4.25M. So we have him until he's 28, at 4.25M, playing with one of the two centers (probably Crosby because a line of Kunitz-Crosby-Eriksson sends chills up my spine offensively as well as defensively).
Neal on the other hand, is an RFA this offseason and with scoring totals of 24 in his rookie year, and probably close to 30 this year with 65 points, he's goign to get wayyyyy overpaid this offseason I think. Something in the area of 5M-5.5M would not be out of the question I don't think if they wanted to lock him up through some UFA years. I'll take Eriksson contract that's already taken care of and cheap over Neal. Plus I just think Eriksson is a better player at this stage in his career. More polished, does more things to help a team win than Neal does.

I can't count the times I cracked another beer and said to myself, "I'm powerless over this disease and so I might as well go with the flow and drink."
I wonder how many people there are out there who never may find the information contained in the Orange-Papers or other sources of such information. I'll bet there are alot of them.
As I look at the ebb and flow of things in OPF, I have to admit that I stand in awe of the power exerted here by in-house stepper trolls.
How many coroners' report list 'attending meetings' or 'working the 12 steps' as the cause of death? One of the myths on this forum is that AA kills people who would otherwise survive. Common causes of deaths are - drunk driving, violent assault by someone who is intoxicated, drug overdose (accidental or deliberate), liver failure etc. Even moderate alcohol consumption raises the risk of heart disease, cancer and dementia.
someone commented this but it deserves to be top posted
Many who post on the forum have overcome alcohol/drug issues. Doesn't AA deserve credit for that? Even if you didn't get better until after you left AA, is it possible that happened because of exposure AA/12 steps.
So in Part One I lambasted AA's idiotic custom and "suggestion" that people who haven't drank in years, identify themselves as alcoholics every time they speak. Again, it all just adds to the powerless and diseased for life message.
Here is a good article I found. The author is spot on. Some people will say this is off topic, but the point about liberal arts being pretty much worthless is VERY germane to the subject of Steppism and the substance abuse treatment industry:
There's something severely wrong with postsecondary education in the United States.
did i hear an aa dead horse beating around here?
a local rock station use to promote this midnight movie in the early 70s - as a joke/protest.
because i was very liberal thinking and thus quite inoculated to gov stigma/propaganda.
i saw my addiction struggle as a one of life's valuable transcendence experiences.
by my own account i am an esoteric shaman. who transformed dependence into inner freedom.
lost a union job but became an engineer because of the problems i overcame. other wise i probably would have sat on my union ass and never been forced to learn to achieve more difficult goals,
My last Alanon Meeting
Yes I started attending with a bias. About 20 yrs after my spouse started AA. I was looking for two things:
1) reaffirm my thoughts
2) see where I was wrong.
I went to about 30 meetings in 20 days.
What does that even mean?
The idea sometimes mentioned in meetings that one can 'take back one's will' or 'do God's will' is based on a delusion. 'God's Will' is simply 'What Is' or 'Reality' for those who feel uncomfortable with the concept of a supernatural deity. Nothing exists that isn't God's Will/Reality, so any kind of battle against it is impossible.

If a person wandered into an AA meeting not knowing what it was and heard something like the following, what would they think?
I have been informed that what I share on line has been seen by people that work for a corrections facility, 12 step people. They shared certain things I said and later deleted from OP facebook with each other. I don't even know who saw what but I was given a warning and a threat.
I hear this said all the time in the media, by health professionals and politicians.
I would like to see replies to this statement: AA reduces/increases the stigma associated with addiction.
I would actually like to see answers supporting both reduce or increase.
So in a recent blog I pretty much established, in my opinion anyway, that there is absolutely nothing contained within the 12 Steps that actually teach people how to stop drinking.
When asked about this in various forums, a common response by the AA faithful was that "Well it's in the meetings where you really learn how not to drink?"
Really? Ok, then that of course begs the question of HOW. Just how do the meetings themselves teach one to stop drinking?
I apologize if we've discussed the current activing director for Office of National Drug Control Policy. I have seen a few vague references online about how "this stepper" is foistering his "stepper shit" on us. This is sort of laughable. While I have made it clear that I think AA does very little to embrace options other than AA, I certainly do not think a "sober" member of "AA" has a "stepper agenda" just b/c they're in AA. Yes, sometimes. Not always. Or if he does, this needs to be found in our media and pointed out.

Maurice unsure on timetable for building winner
But says he saw more growth as season came to a conclusion
IF he's is going to continue as the head coach, there's an important question Winnipeg Jets fans are likely to have of Paul Maurice.
How long is it going to take to transform the also-ran Jets -- playoff non-qualifiers for three straight seasons in Winnipeg and as a franchise, seven years in a row -- into a winning outfit?
If patience is not your thing, there's a chance you won't like his answer.
"I don't know the answer to that, to be honest with you," Maurice said Sunday, taking a break from his exit meetings with the players, their season concluded at 84 points, 37-35-10.
That did not stop him from giving two further minutes of thought on the matter.
"Kind of starting, really in some ways, from the ground floor," he said. "We'll start with the body, the physical changes we need to make, the fitness level we need to get to. We wouldn't be able to get to that in one summer. It takes a couple of years in my experience and I've been through that twice. This team is probably further ahead than one of the situations; it takes about two years. And it's organizational. It's your team but also your American League team and in the end, then you're just worried about your draft picks and you see how long it takes them to turn pro.
"The style of play? The understanding of what we want to do, the foundation of it shouldn't take too, too long but that doesn't mean you're good at it yet. And Boston is a really good example of that. They won a Cup before they got to the level... the game they're playing now is as advanced as I've seen them play. They're a better team now, I think, than when they won.
"So it'll take a while. The key is how long can you stay right on the direction, right? There's always that you fall off, the injuries, all those other things that happen to your team, pieces that you thought fit but maybe didn't fit exactly the way you want. How long it takes your young players to (get to) that level of being men. I think we made some decent strides in our defensive zone but I think we've got a long way to go there. The last week-and-a-half was when we finally started to get to our offensive zone, we got on the puck better than we had all year. So it'll take a while."
The other major issue for Maurice to address after the conclusion of games was about the team's worst month of the season -- March.
The Jets won in Nashville on March 1, pulling into a points tie with the eighth-place Dallas Stars, but followed that game with a six-game losing streak (0-3-3) and went on to lose 11 games (4-7-4) in the month to fall out of touch with post-season hope.
"The game changed," Maurice responded. "That was a big piece of it. It gets to a more physical, more grinding, tighter game. So we're coming away down a goal instead of up a goal. It's not like we went from winning 5-2 to losing 5-2. It was that little switch and some of that was the way the game changes."
He also said the young team was not deep enough to fully cope with injuries, which began with the loss of effective rookie centre Mark Scheifele and escalated to a half-dozen regulars.
There was a distinct break in Maurice's and the team's success. After that win in Nashville, including that game, the new coach was 11-3-1. He went 7-9-4 the rest of the way.
"In specifics, I pushed them real hard after the Nashville game in two practices," Maurice said. "I can remember walking off the ice thinking, 'That's the way we're supposed to practise and I'm just not sure we were ready to do that yet.' But it needed to happen. I wouldn't change it going back. I wouldn't change the end of this year.
"I know making the playoffs is the prize but it's not. At the end of it, for me, we got far more out of the last month-and-a-half of the season than we did in the first month-and-a-half. I learned more about the players, got an opportunity to draw some lines and explain some things and hold players to certain things that you couldn't early on. And we'll get more value going forward from the end of this hockey season than when I came in."

Hosted by award-winning journalist Tom Ashbrook, <i>On Point</i> is broadcast for two hours daily across the country on NPR. The show's lively conversation covers everything from breaking news to ancient poetry, and features writers, politicians, journalists, artists, scientists and ordinary citizens from around the world.

Twenty years ago this week, the former Michigan Supreme Court Justice was wrapping up his first six months as mayor.
When Archer looked back on those crucial first months in 1994, he said it all started when he tapped six University of Michigan professors to help him craft a city improvement plan in 1990.
