What he is is an OK young player who was invested in by a prior GM to turn int a star and that investment is angering many fans. Direct your angst at JM.
The fallacy in this argument is trying to separate the player from his salary. In the new NHL, a player's salary is a part of how valuable a player is. There are examples all over the place. Look at Campbell in Chicago. He's a very good player, but his value is lower due to the contract he has.
No one blames Olesz for taking the contract Martin offered. Most admit that Olesz is a capable bottom 6 NHL player. HOWEVER, for his contract, that simply is not enough production. We can debate his effort or anything else, but the bottom line is his stats do not come anywhere close to justifying what he's being paid. And for a team on a budget, we need to carefully allocate what dollars we have, not waste them.
Unless you want this team to be on the hook for paying a 3rd liner 3.1M, 3.4M, 4M, 4.25M for the next 4 seasons, then Olesz needs to be bought out. Unless Olesz finally "matures" like we've been waiting for him to do for several years, then I don't see why he should remain part of this team.

A Look at Sourceforge Enterprise Edition
Did you know you can download SourceforgeEE for 15 users for free. You'll find it on Sourceforge.net and it comes in a VMWare appliance. That version will accommodate 50 users if you want to pay for more than 15 seats. From an enterprise point of view, the cost is quite reasonable.
In the world of corporate development, SourceforgeEE (SEE) is a delight. It's a Digital Development Environment that you can use for any cooperative project whether for technical writers or development. It's an essential tool to move from an analog environment to a shared digital one.
Everyone involved with a development process can share the same DDE. For example, Subject Matter Specialists can upload their functional specifications, those can turn into technical specs. So, the SME can look at the technical specs and see if they match up to their requirements and high-level submission. Project leads can use the tracker to keep up with tasks they set up originally. You can utilize the task module and QA personnel can do testing as each agile module completes. Developers can review each others code to see if everything fits together. You also have a bug reporting system.
You can use subversion or CVS for the code repository. The admin can assign rights and permissions to various facilities. So, members of the team can have read access or a limited view of various areas in SourceforgeEE.
The platform is not made strictly for Linux though SEE runs in Linux and Linux developers can use all of its functions. Still, many of the facilities fit a Microsoft development environment. Microsoft Office and Project can integrate directly into SEE.
The system comes with a VMWare player but we installed it in an ESX Server instance. You can also download the free VMWare server and run it there. It ran as soon as we expanded the compressed image. It worked right out of the box so to speak.
The features are too numerous to list. If you want a way to move from a linear development environment with all the paper work, consider SME. You can bring all the players in a project together, use the built-in forum to communicate and keep everyone up-to-date. I can see this DDE working to cut time to market in half.
Now, if you want more information, download it and look at the sample project. It will surprise you.
Tom Adelstein currently works as a contract technical writer in the Information Technology Field. In March 2007, his latest O'Reilly Book, Linux System Administration was released. Tom's home web site Open Source Today has tips and techniques for system administrators and Open Source VARs.
Still Free?
15 licenses, still free? I have follow tom posts for a while, really explore me about open source, please reply me if the license still free, I hope to collect more free stuff,thanks.

This is not an article, but rather an advert
We like the site www.sourceforge.net. However, this "article" is clearly an ad for a proprietary product. It would, I think, have been better to review Savane, which is based on the last F/OSS version of SourceForge (this is very similar to OpenSSH's history). It is currently used to power savannah.gnu.org (maybe others).
You gave a plug for the proprietary, closed-up version. Now, how about giving Savane a review? If you wish to compare the two, now, that might also make a useful article.

On the Kharar-Landran road, two- or three-bedroom flats or independent floors in under-construction projects are available for Rs 25-35 lakh. The cost of plots too has come down from Rs 18,500-20,000 per square yard to Rs 14,500-16,000 per square yard, and in some projects it is even lesser. On the Kharar-Kurali road, a builder is offering a two-bedroom flat for Rs 14 lakh. Similarly, on the Zirakpur-Derabassi Highway, flats are being sold for less than Rs 25 lakh.
Since many projects have failed to deliver the product on time, there is a trust deficit in new launches. "The buyer would rather spend on a ready-to-move-in property even if he has to pay a little more. The elusive end users are the king of the market now. For a readymade flat or house in the range of Rs 28 to 35 lakh, there are enough buyers despite the inflation and hike in the cost of living in recent years," adds Kochar.
For the builder, because of the sharp increase in construction cost, launching a new project at too low a cost is not possible and bringing down the rates too is not an option. In Zirakpur, for instance, many builders are holding on to the original rates. They are offering other attractions to bring in buyers. Gold coins, air conditioners, LED TV sets and even cars are coming free with flats here. Others are offering no EMI option till possession. In one case, a project developer claims to pay the buyer's house rent till he gives the possession.
Prateek Kumar, a property consultant handling five major projects in Zirakpur, says there has been no increase in the cost of property but there has been no crash of prices either. "It could have happened in some individual cases of builders who may or may not be able to deliver," he adds.

The cloud is often touted as the answer to all our problems. It offers countless possibilities, from increased agility and reduced costs for enterprises, to a revenue lifeline for service providers as they take their first steps toward becoming a cloud broker. The cloud broker model can give service providers the chance to avoid commoditization by repackaging their own offerings together with cloud services and selling these to customers.
But cloud brokers beware. There's a risk of being a jack of all trades and master of none. It's crucial to ensure that a cloud offering is designed to meet the needs of a specific market. For example, enterprises and small/medium sized businesses (SMBs) will hardly subscribe to all cloud services from a single provider. So which approach is best for which target market?
Serving the needs of SMBs
For telcos with access to a large number of customers in the SMB space, the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) broker is the best way to go. This allows telcos to leverage their broad customer access and sell SaaS applications to SMBs in addition to their carrier portfolio. SMBs will not only expect consolidated provisioning and billing but also an aggregation of services and federation of data across multiple SaaS applications provided by the broker.
CloudItalia, a company combining telecommunication and cloud computing services specifically dedicated to small and medium enterprises in Italy, as an example, is offering a core set of services that are vertically focused and aimed specifically at the SMB customer segment. This approach is all about providing pre-packaged services that, as much as possible, are a `no brainer' for SMBs to work with. MashApp tools are critical here. They provide the capability to build services by creating mash-ups of the business applications SMBs are most likely to require such as Saleforce.com. Together with orchestration tools this allows users to build the exact services they require. Because the cloud service provision component is based on the company's existing telecom business with its own network, this gives CloudItalia's customers particular benefits.
Forrester's Forrsights survey data showed that at the end 2012, on average nine different SaaS applications were used at the same time in a single business. This will increase to 13 by the end of 2013. This requires a higher automation of billing and integration among all SaaS applications used, including a flexible subscription approach for individual employees. All of these challenges are potential value propositions for future SaaS brokers.
The enterprise approach
Enterprises seriously moving to cloud infrastructure require a mixture of multiple cloud infrastructure services, very likely from multiple providers. Systems integrators (SIs) and dedicated cloud infrastructure providers will get the most out of becoming Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) brokers. Providing dynamic sourcing across public, virtual private and private clouds, this broker model leverages temporary spare capacity on-premise and combines it with spot price offerings of virtual private or public cloud providers. Cloud infrastructure offerings vary by reliability, price, local presence of data centers, legal compliance, performance and many other characteristics. SIs can retain or establish customer relationship with these enterprise buyers by offering the full portfolio of their own cloud services and reselling public cloud IaaS from others. Infrastructure broker services add a unique value and make the multi-provider portfolio consumable.
According to Forrester's Forrsights Hardware Survey, nine percent of all enterprises today use a hybrid cloud infrastructure, mixing a private cloud with an external cloud provider. This number is expected to increase to 26 percent by 2015, and Forrsights data indicates that half of that group will be using sophisticated cloud management such as policy-driven provisioning. This group will drive the adoption of infrastructure broker services in the future.
A unified future
It is possible that a single company might deliver multiple cloud broker models, as a 'unified cloud broker.' A sophisticated business process-driven provisioning framework, which supports the dynamic sourcing of both infrastructure and SaaS applications, would obviously provide a huge synergy for providers looking forward to a unified cloud broker. Technology vendors and their ecosystem of partners are getting ready to deliver this spectrum. However, it takes a cloud provider at least a year to merge discrete broker services into a unified cloud broker business model and technology stack. This is one reason that we are yet to see any unified cloud broker offerings on the market. But watch this space, it won't be long. At that time, the cloud's countless possibilities will be much more of a reality.
The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

U.S. and international rule makers remained divided Tuesday in the first of two days of meetings aimed at resolving differences on lease accounting.
The U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board and London-based International Accounting Standards Board aim to issue a final standard later this year that would move about $2 trillion dollars of lease obligations onto corporate balance sheets. But they are still split on the fundamental model companies should use to measure those liabilities. Read More »
AMR and US Airways got the green light for their merger after just a few concessions. Antitrust and airline-industry experts tell the WSJ that the settlement was a victory for the carriers, because it left the majority of their merger plan intact. US Airways and AMR, parent of American Airlines, agreed to give up space at several major airports. But they probably would have given up some of the slots anyway to consolidate operations after their merger. US Airways CEO Doug Parker told the Journal that the concessions were "not material enough to offset what we said the day we announced," which was that the merger would create more than $1 billion in total annual savings and revenue gains. Read More »
As lawyers scramble to save AMR Corp's merger with US Airways Group Inc, American Airlines' parent is bleeding more than $15 million a month in restructuring charges. The costs could continue to weigh on the carrier's results as it waits to see how judges rule on its planned merger with US Airways will be allowed. Read More »
The Justice Department is flexing its antitrust muscles. The DOJ's surprise move to block the merger of American Airlines parent AMR and US Airways puts the brakes on the industry's rush to consolidate—and it could dash AMR's hopes of exiting bankruptcy anytime soon, the WSJ reports. If the merger plan falls, it would extend AMR's stay in Chapter 11, possibly until late 2014. The company would have to come up with a new reorganization plan, revise its financial projections and renegotiate with bondholders, unions and other creditors—all of which would take time. The DOJ action also underscores the newly aggressive approach of the antitrust division, the NYT says. Read More »

Are images from Gaza turning public opinion against Israel?
The current Israeli operation in Gaza is going into its fourth week, and Benjamin Netanyahu says it might not be ending anytime soon.
The Israeli prime minister said the operation would not be finished until the tunnels between Israel and Gaza, which Hamas fighters use to attack Israeli civilians, are destroyed.
But can the Israeli government stand a long conflict, or, as many pundits question, is the country in danger of losing a battle for public opinion on the world stage?

Alaska State Troopers have arrested a second man in a fatal Wasilla-area stabbing March 7.
Andrew Johnson, 38, is charged with second-degree murder and burglary in the attack that killed Michael Plummer, 43.
The charges stem from an incident in which Johnson, his son Spencer Johnson and another man burst into a house near Mile 15 of Knik Goose Bay Road, according to a charging document.
Johnson's wife was staying at the home for the night after a marital dispute, and the men fought near the doorway with Plummer, whose fiance is friends with Johnson's wife, family members said. Witnesses later said that Spencer Johnson stabbed Plummer in the throat during the altercation, according to the charges.
Plummer's fiance shot Andrew Johnson before he and the other men fled. Johnson was treated at a Wasilla hospital, and his son Spencer was charged with murdering Plummer, troopers said.
Further investigation led to the Thursday charges against Andrew Johnson, troopers said. He is held on $100,000 cash bail.

Florida More Vulnerable To Twisters Than Midwest
June 13, 2014
By Seth Borenstein, AP
WASHINGTON (AP) - Oklahoma and Kansas may have the reputation as tornado hot spots, but Florida and the rest of the Southeast are far more vulnerable to killer twisters, a new analysis shows.
Florida leads the country in deaths calculated per mile a tornado races along the ground, followed by Tennessee, North Carolina, Ohio and Alabama, according to an analysis of the past three decades by the federal Southeast Regional Climate Center at the University of North Carolina.
That`s because Florida is No. 1 in so many factors that make tornadoes more risky: mobile homes, the elderly and the poor, said center director Charles Konrad II, who headed the new work.
"People are just much more vulnerable in a mobile home than they are in a regular home," Konrad said.
Florida`s death rate of 2.4 deaths per 100 miles of tornado ground track is more than two-and-a-half times that of Oklahoma and nearly five times that of Kansas.
Along with Florida, Dixie Alley - including Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, western parts of the Carolinas - is where "more people die from tornadoes" than anywhere else in the world, said Conrad.
Three years ago, a four-day outbreak of more than 200 tornadoes killed 316 people in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia.
Florida doesn`t get as many tornadoes as Oklahoma and they aren`t as strong, but when Florida does get them, "people are especially vulnerable," Konrad said. He presented the research at an American Meteorological Society meeting in Colorado this week.
Konrad`s work makes sense and fits with earlier research on tornado fatalities, said Florida State University meteorology professor James Elsner and Barb Mayes Boustead, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration meteorologist and tornado chaser.
Visibility is another problem for tornadoes in the Southeast. Because of atmospheric conditions, the region tends to get more tornadoes at night, making them harder to see, Konrad said. It also means some people may be asleep and miss warnings.
The South also has more trees and buildings to block the view of oncoming tornadoes, Konrad said. And they also tend to come from low-hanging clouds, making them harder to see.
Florida tends to get tornadoes more in the winter, while the Southeast tornado season is February through April, Konrad said. The Midwest generally sees them in the spring and summer.
This year, which is so far unusually quiet, seven tornadoes have killed 35 people, 32 of them in the Southeast, including 16 in Arkansas and 11 in Mississippi.

I'd be almost 87 if I'm still alive... I'll probably be pushing up daisies though.
Hey, I went for the 50th, so I will be there July 17, 2055 for sure!
i'll be 74 (hopefully looking like 34) so i think i'll be able to make it
If I'm still alive at 82 and not suffering from alzheimers - hell yeah!

Arizona State Sun Devils
Arizona State ranked No. 23 in AP Top 25 and USA Today polls
Controversial or not, Arizona State's 32-30 upset victory over Wisconsin Saturday was more than enough to propel the Sun Devils into both the AP Top 25 and USA Today polls.
Sunday, Todd Graham's squad (2-0) was ranked No. 23 in both polls, joining four other Pac-12 teams -- (No. 2 Oregon, No. 5 Stanford, No. 13/No. 15 UCLA and No. 17/No. 20 Washington).
It marks the first time in Graham's two-year tenure that ASU has been ranked in the AP poll.
The Sun Devils were last ranked in both on Oct. 30, 2011, when they began 6-2 with wins over Missouri, Oregon State and USC.
