Blackhawks: There have been rumblings about the Blackhawks' interest in adding pop to the lineup, with a puck-moving defenseman on their shopping list. They could go high, after Brian Campbell, or get a younger, less expensive option like John-Michael Liles. The plan is to continue letting a strong young talent base mature and to supplement it with compatible talent. Predators: Don't expect too

"At the coalface are specialist officers, always working in pairs, who look at image after image of the most horrific child abuse. They scan the faces of the victims with specialist software, creating digital maps that can be compared with hundreds of thousands of other images to find matches. They look at the borders of the images and at the backgrounds. Are there clues to the location, even the country? Electrical sockets, furnishings and books can all narrow down the search. On average it takes two months to trace each child."[via bbc news]

5 goals scored in the first 6:21 of the game...madness. The Canucks jumped to 2 goal leads only to have Luongo choke, allowing 2 goals and putting the Preds within 1 goal TWICE. But then the game settled down....for the Canucks not Nashville. The Preds looked uncharacteristically sluggish and sloppy in their own zone and the Canucks made them pay dearly, leading 4-2 after the first period. Vancouver outshot Nashville 24-9 in the first period alone, and 44-23 overall.The Preds just couldn't get anything going, and whenever they did after the 6:21 mark of the 1st, Luongo stopped them. The Canucks showed the hustle and scoring touch that we have been waiting for over the 4 game losing skid. And now, like Jim Hughson said: "You can all jump back on the bandwagon now."-The Sedins were on a tear

The Tale Of Two Alleged Predators Posing As ProsecutorsLast October Assistant Federal Prosecutor John Atkinson killed himself after he was caught in a child sex sting.In today's Houston Chronicle it was reported that child porn was found in a former District Attorney in Texas's home. Fifty seven year-old Louis “Bill” Conradt Jr., caught up in an internet child sex solicitation sting, shot himself last year when the cops showed up at his door.Atchison’s perverse background was exposed when he was arrested and then arraigned September 17th in U.S. District Court in Detroit. The irony was that Atchison was an assistant U.S. Attorney from the northern district court of Florida.According to the police Atchison solicited an undercover officer posing as a mother for the opportunity to have “sex” with her five-year-old daughter.Atchison was arrested at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport and charged with “enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity.”In deposition, detective

Don't be surprised if Nashville Predators owner Craig Leipold, who is from Racine, Wis., before next summer makes a serious run at buying the Minnesota Wild, who are ripe to be sold. Leipold, 56, is expected to have the sale of his Nashville team for $193 million approved by the NHL as early as next week. The scouting report on him is that he's a solid operator with deep pockets and a good guy

Mayor Karl Dean’s office on Wednesday quickly rebuked a story posted early Wednesday on the Web site thehockeynews.com about the completion of a deal between the city and a group of local investors, led by David Freeman, which want to purchase the Nashville Predators from Craig Leipold.

A few notes from Canucks.com:-Mayson Raymond's demotion is probably not short term as he has been sent down to "develop"-Jannik Hansen has been called up. I was impressed with his play last season as he was a pretty creative player. Of course, a lot of that creativity was with Jan Bulis. Those 2 were fun to watch on the PK especially. Hopefully Hansen sticks.-Jeff Cowan, who has been out with a hip flexor injury for a while now (since the back-to-back games against Edmonton) looks to be ready to go. "Cowan skated fine today and if he skates the same way on Wednesday, then he’s definitely going to play,” said Vigneault on Tuesday.-It could be Trevor Linden who gets more icetime with the Sedins against the Predators, but that depends. "My intentions are to try him tomorrow with Daniel and Henrik,” said Vigneault. “Now, depending on Jeff’s (Cowan) status tomorrow (Thursday) morning, that might change, so at this time that’s what I foresee.

You'd think this would be the easiest post in the world to write but with work and what not it's been quite difficult to get this up. The Nashville Predators are not only our Central Division Rivals, but they are also my cousins favorite team. Needless to say we get into quite a few arguments over this. When you look at the Nashville Predators of last year and compare them to the Predators of this year I don't really think there is any comparison. Last year they had Paul Kariya, Kimmo Timonen, and at the trade deadline picking up Peter Forsberg, this year when you look at their team you don't really see any of those "stars" but their young guys really stepped up last year and I am sure this year they will have only improved. There are so many reasons why I hate the Preds, Jordin Tootoo, the fact that we lost every game that we played them last season. But, I have a lot of faith that my boys will in fact win the series with the Nashville Predators this season. Mainly because

Just because it's summer doesn't mean nothing is happening within the NHL. And I thought this bit of news was worth mentioning...The Nashville Predators, whom are still considered a new team, are dotting the I's and crossing the T's on the deal to keep the team in Nashville. There are eight investors involved. Only one investor, William "Boots" Del Biaggio III, is not from Nashville. Actually, according to the AP article, Biaggio is also part-owner of the San Jose Sharks. You'd think there would be a conflict of interest there... if he wasn't in it for the pure profit, of course.In my opinion, the Predators are a team worth holding on to. Owner Craig Leipold claims he has lost $70 million since June, 1997. However, the team has made the playoffs the past three seasons which should have generated extra profit. Perhaps the team is not to blame, but financial mismanagement instead? Again, just my opinion.For the article, click here.

According to TSN: Because of Nashville's uncertain ownership future and an expected tight budget in the coming year, sources tell TSN the Predators arranged with the Flyers to give them exclusive negotiating rights to two coveted free agents - defenceman Kimmo Timonen and forward Scott Hartnell.Apparently, they have signed Hartnell to a 6-year, $25.2 million deal that pays him $4.2 million perseason. That seems a tad high for a guy who scored 22 goals and 39 points in 64 games last season. He must have a terrific upside.They have signed Kimmo Timmonen to a 6-year, $37.8 million contract, paying him $6.3 million per season. Wow the stock in defenceman is still insanely high. The Preds are so deep on defence that Kimmo was expedible anyway. The defenceman had 13 goals and 55 points in 80 games last season. The Flyers were sorely lacking an effective offensive defenceman last season.In exchange for these 2 signings, Nashville gets back their first overall pick that was originally acquire

Tonight we can guage the Canucks' performance against a legitimate contender in Nashville, who are in top spot in the West right now. The teams have met 3 times this year, and the Canucks have only won once. The last time they played eachother was November 23rd in Nashville, a 6-0 loss to the Preds. Markus Naslund has been in a funk as far as goal-scoring goes, but has been impressing Alain Vigneault with his desire to break it. “When you’re going through adversity, you’re not going just come out of it, you’ve got to do something to [get out of it] and that’s what he did. He’s going out early, he’s working with Louie, working on his game, he’s coming in and watching videos so for me there’s a lot of positives also.” There is a possibility that Willie Mitchell could play tonight, but I think that is unlikely. Sunday is probably more likely.Apparently Rick Rypien has been practicing with the big dogs.Ryan Kesler practiced for about 20 minutes as well yesterday.Sami S

An open access/free paper (includes video) from PLoS ONE: Predator Mimicry: Metalmark Moths Mimic Their Jumping Spider Predators by Jadranka Rota (info), David L. Wagner* (info) Abstract Cases of mimicry provide many of the nature's most convincing examples of natural selection. Here we report evidence for a case of predator mimicry in which metalmark moths in the genus Brenthia mimic jumping spiders, one of their predators. In controlled trials, Brenthia had higher survival rates than other similarly sized moths in the presence of jumping spiders and jumping spiders responded to Brenthia with territorial displays, indicating that Brenthia were sometimes mistaken for jumping spiders, and not recognized as prey. Our experimental results and a review of wing patterns of other insects indicate that jumping spider mimicry is more widespread than heretofore appreciated, and that jumping spiders are probably an important selective pressure shaping the evolution of diurnal insects that per

China Mobile recently had to deny rumors of bidding for MIC (Millicom International Cellular) , the most exotic mobile arm of the late Jan Stenbeck, once a specialist in military mobile comms (you RACAL you).More than a tactical weapon, MIC could even become a Weapon of Mass Differenciation for today's most ambitious cellcos. Etisalat (Emirates Telecommunications Corp) and China Mobile already fought for a slice of Pakistan Telecommunications Co last year, but MIC offers more than a few crumbs (10M clients across 16 markets totalling 390M people). Millicom's "strategic review" started with a cleanup of participations and the purchase of minority shares. The "Up for sale" sign has not yet been painted but deep-pocketed purchasers already left fingerprints all over the place (the heavier the smearer). Beyond deep pockets are required patience, expertise in risk management and a knack for caligraphy (this may not look like your usual J or S curve).

Single mom looking to date someone with a big heart (W4M) : Dating online can be fun but there are some things that you need to understand right away. When you are promoting yourself and the things you love, do NOT show photos of your children. If you do, you are inviting individuals into your world that may want to spend time with them, not you. Sounds sick? It is. Here's the scene -- you're dating. You've already stated that you're a mom (or a grandma) and that your children live with you. So, you make a date. You date this person outside the house. You get a feel for the person. He already knows you have children so you are not hiding them. Slowly, you decide how the relationship unfolds. It may be date 3 or date 6 when you decide to have him meet your children. First, you don't want to overwhelm him. Second, you need to have a gut-check to make sure the man is "into' you and not with you because he saw photos of your kids. It's the wo
