TheStar.com | Hockey | Leafs should start chopping from the top
Ideally, the Maple Leafs would have the pick of the litter, the very best hockey minds in the world clamouring to work for them. But that's just not the way it is.Moreover, to get one of the really big names - Brian Burke, Lou Lamoriello - they'd have to wait until June or July, and this thing's going downhill faster than that.There are quality hockey people out there, available today. Even Pat Quinn, as utterly laughable as that may sound. Then again, this is an organization that brought back Punch Imlach, Carl Brewer, Mike Pelyk, Wendel Clark, Doug Gilmour for second go-rounds, so it's not like the stupidity of bringing back Quinn would be out of the MLSE strike zone.So who would you get? As a new GM, or president, or coach?Click here for a closer look with Damien Cox in his blog, The Spin.
Gphone vs. iPhone: The security debate begins
Gphone vs. iPhone: The security debate begins
It wasn't long after Google announced its long-anticipated mobile plans this week that a debate emerged about the prospective security of the project's Linux-based platform. Can the open-source model for the platform, now known as Android, produce secure code? Will phones based on Android, dubbed "Gphones" by many, be more or less secure than Apple's iPhone, which has been developed using proprietary software? What will Android's developers be able to do to stop authors of malicious code from capitalizing on its openness?

Honey, I shrunk the desktop
Every geek needs a large power-hungry supercomputer, right? Wrong. French company Linutop offers a tiny machine - the Linutop - no bigger than a mid-sized paperback novel.
Wild Card -- Tuesday PM
Spectators at the annual Dayton Days parade in tiny Dayton, Wash., got more than they bargained for last weekend when a team of horses bolted, according to the Walla Walla Union Bulletin, here. 5.

Interviewing a 'real' vampire
Even Savannah's "undead" and their friends like to paint the town red every now and then. The moon looks like a blood-red orange cut in half as dread passes over me. The sensation is momentary, but justifiable. I am, after all, standing at the threshold of a vampire sanctuary. And not just any vampire sanctuary. This one is occupied by the director of Black Oaks Savannah, a local organization that serves the city's vampires, witches, druids and pagans. When Black Oaks sent a notice to the Savannah Morning News announcing an early August meet-and-greet social to be held at Elysium, a downtown wine bar, I was intrigued. What do vampires talk about at a wine bar, I wondered. So I made contact and asked for an interview.
Disowned by the Ownership Society
Most people just aren't saavy enough, cannot deal in large numbers, don't understand puts/selling-short, have much less insider/sector knowledge, etc. to really make good on the market. Given the various busts, it seems that the publicly-traded aspect is a mixed bag indeed. As for purchasing a home, the middle-class doesn't "purchase" a home. Rather, it enters into career-long servitude to mortgage lenders — the ownership society. .
Study Shows Antibiotic Harms ALS Patients
THURSDAY, Nov. 1 (HealthDay News) -- A trial of the antibiotic minocycline against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis -- Lou Gehrig's disease -- has been halted because patients taking the drug had a significantly accelerated decline in neurological function. The finding calls into question plans to try minocycline against other neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis, said a report published online Nov. 1 in Lancet Neurology. The study was led by the U.S. Western ALS Study Group. "There were early indications in animal trials that it [minocycline] might be beneficial," said Robert P. Bowser, director of the University of Pittsburgh ALS research center. But in a randomized trial that included 412 people with ALS, nerve function in those treated with minocycline deteriorated at a 25 percent faster rate than in those taking a placebo, the researchers reported.
