Brad Biggs: With great pay come great expectations, so it's difficult to get as worked up about defensive end Mark Anderson's struggles this season as it is about some of the Bears who went through the Jerry Angelo cash-rewards program in the offseason.
John Jackson: After the Bulls' embarrassing 116-74 loss Wednesday to the Portland Trail Blazers, I was curious to see how rookie coach Vinny Del Negro would react the next day.
The Dallas Stars -- and their goaltender, Marty Turco, in particular -- had been brutal against the Blackhawks, especially at American Airlines Center. The Hawks were 1-8-2 with one tie on the Stars' home ice since 2001-02, and Turco owned a 14-2-1 career record against the Hawks going into the second game of the Hawks' six-game road trip Thursday night.
Sure, you can just show up at Mom's and stuff yourself silly. But
there's more to this holiday than turkey (and more than one place to
get it, should Mom's run a little dry).

In this period of economic strain, acts of generosity are increasingly welcome. The following organizations, committed to fighting hunger and homelessness, count on donations and the work of volunteers to keep needy Chicagoans fed and housed.

Bill Zwecker: It's not among the most original Disney animated films, yet ''Bolt'' is
one of those movies that in the end does what it's supposed to do. It's
charming, nicely paced, often quite funny and features well-chosen
voice talent. Most important, it provides a satisfying entertainment
''meal.'' It's not a ''gourmet'' banquet on the order of
''Ratatouille'' or the first ''Shrek,'' but this peppy picture is
certainly more than a cinematic ''snack.'' 
Terry Savage: There was a time not so long ago when government officials debated which institutions were "too big to fail." Now they're learning the lesson that the global economy is "too big to control." It is the height of conceit for government and corporate officials to spend their time -- and our money -- debating priorities for rescuing constituencies. History says they'd be better off standing aside and not trying to turn back the tide.
