| OCTOPUS GARDEN: Should Lindros be in the Hall?
Will he be inducted in the Builder category? His stubbornness ultimately contributed to the Colorado Avalanche mini-dynasty." Remember, the Nordiques/Avs got Peter Forsberg from the Flyers for Lindros. (And the Wings thank him for that.) CBSsports.com ran a poll asking if Lindros should make the Hall, and the last time we checked, 62% said no. A Hockey News poll was running 66% negative. So it might be a tough sell. The real problem might be that Lindros couldn't live up to others' expectations. He just wasn't the Next One he was supposed to be. Isn't Igor a lock? Speaking of this year's induction class, there wasn't room for Igor Larionov, who had a stellar international career, was a trailblazer for Russian players coming to the NHL and played a key role in three Stanley Cup winners for the Wings.

Bozeman boys basketball: Hawks deal Sentinel first loss in sloppy ...
Perhaps Bozeman just needed to see how it was done. ERIK PETERSEN/CHRONICLE Bozeman's Gabe Rucker made the game-winning layup with three seconds remaining to hand Missoula Sentinel its first loss of the season. How an underdog might ground a high-flying favorite with nothing but defense and rebounding. How a team, undersized and stumbling, would find a way to stick around for that last shot.Tough-luck C.M. Russell had done it to Bozeman a week earlier. On Saturday in Bozeman's South Gym, it was the Hawks' turn as they dealt top-ranked Missoula Sentinel its first loss of the season, 36-35.Probably to Bozeman's advantage, it was anything but pretty, a defensive slog that negated Sentinel's up-tempo tendencies.The Spartans entered the game averaging a Class AA-high 77.5 points per game and were outscoring their opponents by 25 a game.

Reviews of all the latest DVD releases
But none of that takes away from the fact that this is still an absorbing movie with an intriguing premise. Hume's cherished son is brutally murdered at a petrol station - the innocent victim of a gangland initiation killing. The family is shattered - but even more so when it emerges that the correct legal channels offer almost no hope of justice. And that's when Hume (Kevin Bacon) opts out and decides to take the law into his own hands... a big, big mistake. In exacting revenge, he unwittingly declares war on the whole gang, at which point not even the police can help him. But just when the tension is at its height, director Wan misses a trick. There's an obvious moment when the film should have ended - and it would have been a great ending. Instead, Wan carries on for 20 minutes of bloodbath - a decision which soon dissipates most of the interest.

Between the Lines Latest Post | Last 10 Posts | Archives Ohmigod! Social networkers just can't take it any more! Posted in: General Social networking Guest post: Chris Matyszczyk parses the latest numbers from ComScore on social network activity. While looking for something that amused me and stopped me from replying to the likeness quiz invitation (and seventy others) from lonely Japanese friends on Facebook, I stumbled upon some numbers from ComScore via Creative Capital. They seem to suggest that social networking might have suffered something of a peak. Since October, MySpace seems to have lost 3 million unique visitors. And while Facebook's numbers still appear to be going up, they're creeping rather than leaping.

If You Tag It, It Will Be Used: Sustainability Reporting in XBRL
Weeks after the latest SEC roundtable on interactive data, the Global Reporting Initiative releases a draft taxonomy of XBRL tags mapped to G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. SocialFunds.com -- The dawning of the electronic age has radically transformed the way humans interact with information. Digital data has shifted use from "hard" print copies to electronic files available on the World Wide Web, email and other formats. More profoundly, e-data transcends the linearity of print by directly connecting interrelated information--for example through a keyword search within a document or via a search engine on the Web, or by hyperlinks that directly connect related items within a document or across the Web.
Charlie Hoffman's 1998 invention of eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) applied all these benefits to corporate reporting.
