If there has ever been a book that made me want to be part of a legitimate book club group, it would be Room by Emma Donoghue. Countless times throughout the journey of reading this novel I often found myself desperately wanting to have a good friend reading it at the same to constantly ask their opinion and ask the endless question of 'what would you do in this situation?!' Room stopped me in my fast-reading tracks and forced me to slow down and truly digest the words laid out before me.
Donoghue tackled one of the deepest and darkest crimes of humanity, and her efforts were done with such preciseness that I often forget I was reading a story and felt as if I was living the horrors myself. The plot line is straightforward, yet anything from simple and the language is uncanny when you consider the narrative point of view the story is written from – that of a five year old boy, Jack. The world, according to the youngster, contains only three people; himself, his mother (lovingly referred to as Ma) and their daily visitor, Old Nick. The underlying truth unbeknownst to the boy is 'Old Nick' kidnapped his mother when she was only 19 years old and has held her captive in a shed in his backyard for nearly a decade, raping her on a nightly basis, eventually leading to his birth. Simply typing those words still sends shivers down my spine.
Only moments after Britney Spears announced on Good Morning America that she would be touring this summer with Enrique Iglesias, the latin hottie pulled out completely from the opening act gig. Better sooner than later I guess. So now with the slot available, many artists have been in "talks" to fill his shoes, but who will get the coveted spot?
DJ Pauly D was first to head in to talks with Britney's people after Enrique dropped the bomb of his departure. This wouldn't be the first time he had opened for Britney as he spun before her surprise performance in Vegas and interluded each set with some of his own stylings. Is a DJ enough to keep a Britney crowd occupied before she hits the stage?
Another male in talks for the opening spot is Jonas Brother, Joe Jonas. Brother Nick has released a few solo tracks but I haven't heard anything from Joe. Would this be his solo musical debut? Joe has said in interviews lately that dance music is where his heart is which makes his 'style' a perfect fit for the opening bill.
Well, here I am to finish off in Donovan's venerable stead the Top 11 week Take Two! Wednesday's performance were stale for the most part and my nasty side definitely reared it's head so I was hopeful that the results show would make up for some of the fall from grace that the singers and show itself had gone through… boy was I in for a hilarious disappointment. The result show was a total mess! Let's start with Idol's approach the "new format" this year. Instead of starting off the final leg of the race with something like 20 singers as they have in the past, the good deciders at Idol switched things up and quickly whittled the talent down to about a baker's dozen almost immediately after the Hollywood week. A risky move but it showed this year was no nonsense and all about the talent. Ever since that decision however, it's been a slapstick comedy as the show attempts a new result show each week with everything from clumsy group performances to drawn out elimination: "…and you'll FIND out… right after these messages" cliff hangers. This week they attempted to show the coupling side of the singers and had them perform in duets and groups before they brought the kids up to the stage to hear their results. In theory I think this sounded like a great idea. In actuality: it was a disaster.
The first pair to perform was the country talent: Scotty and Lauren. While I gave Lauren props for pulling it out this week in her Elton song, Scotty has finally and fully solidified himself as a one trick pony with no where to go but the glue factory. The too-old-for-his-own good cowpoke is absolutely unable to venture outside his bailiwick and even the people at Idol know this as they continue to force him into country songs and allow him to alter every Wednesday performance of his to this southern style he so enjoys. I'm sorry, but hearing about "how his baby left [him]" just sounds ridiculous knowing that third base to him still likely means "over the shirt action" (don't even ASK what it means to me ;). I'm gonna stop before I give away their results and make you click through as I hate it when any spoilers are in the first section of the article so….
Click through to read the results and the rest of my scathing review of last night
Once again, Friday is upon us and we can't go a Friday without hearing that dreaded or song or talking about Rebecca Black. Her rise to 'fame' has been a quick one and now with talks of some more music in the works, it was only a matter of time before Funny Or Die jumped on the bandwagon.
With their newest video from the series Betwixt: The Music, we get a special look inside the life of Rebecca Black and her rise to music superstardom. The video is very True Hollywood Story and Behind the Music in nature. Listening to Rebecca talk about her choice of Friday over all the other days of the week is a highlight.
Another great part of the video is when rocker Sammy Hagar makes a random appearance. His reasoning behind why the song was a hit is quite funny. Things like "remember the dark times we were living in when the song came out… St. Patrick's Day was ahead of us, not behind us." Hilarious.
Last March, I wrote an article featuring Naked Chef, Jamie Oliver and his life changing six-episode series, Food Revolution. Jamie spent a significant amount of time in Huntington, West Virginia, starting basically from scratch in an effort to change the eating habits and in turn the lives of the residents. Huntington, West Virginia was crowded the most overweight city in the most overweight country in the world, and Jamie was determined to do something about it, starting with the local elementary and high schools and improve the health of the cities next generation of leaders. It was a brilliant television event that showcased the root of the problem; a lack of education and wherewithal. At the end of this first season Jamie was successful in promoting his healthy-eating program and managed to spread the foundation across the entire school district, with the help of some amazing people within the community.
In another brilliant step, Jamie is back on American soil to once again promote healthy eating and living. This time Jamie has decided to take on the food-consuming beast, Los Angeles. The second season of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution is debuting on Tuesday, April 12th, on ABC – believe me I will be tuning in and setting the PVR for a series recording!
WHEW..GIRRRRRLS SHE IS EXHAUSTED! Honestly I don't even know how I'm typing right now…Marie.
Last weekend (March 24-28th) Donovan and I went to Vegas (full post about that coming later) and when we found out we were going, one of the things I DEMANDED from the powers that be at Homorazzi was PEEPSHOW! PEEPSHOW PEEPSHOW PEEPSHOW! I was dying to see this show. As a major fan of Holly's World on E!, you know that PEEPSHOW is a show at Planet Hollywood in Vegas starring Holly Madison and uber dream boat Josh Strickland. Now not only did we get some of the best seats in the house to see some serious boobies (THANK YOU CEATTA!), we had arranged for an interview with JOSH STRICKLAND! If you recall, I posted about his new single Report to the Floor a little while back, and seeing him every week on TV as he goes through the dramz on Holly's World…well I didn't have to tell you that I was so nervous/excited.
So before we sat down for Peepshow which was starring Angel Porrino from Holly's World because Holly was in Paris (I'll just have to go back an interview her next time) I got the chance to sit down with Josh to talk about everything. Yes he is as sweet as he is shown on TV, yes he is as handsome as he is on TV (even more actually) and yes everything you see from him on TV is real. He is STUPID talented, like STUPID STUPID talented and his vocals in Peepshow were so amazing. One thing that I loved the most about this interview was his eye contact, like i said incredibly personable and incredibly sweet. It was an awesome way to start my first weekend in Vegas.The actual show was a really cute idea about Bo Peep trying to find her mojo with the help of all the nursery rhymes…but dirty! My favourite was Ms Pete and Pony. Those two numbers were incredible!
I can honestly say that I don't think I've watched a full episode of Grey's Anatomy since its second season, but with the anticipation of the big musical event, I couldn't not tune in. Grey's isn't the first TV show to go musical. One of the most famously known TV shows that did a musical episode was Buff The Vampire Slayer and medical comedy Scrubs also did a musical episode. Usually you don't expect a super dramatic show to attempt a musical event such as this. Its a huge risk for not only the show but the network. But, if you have the talent, why not try and pull it off? But in my honest opinion, pull it off they didn't.
First of all, I don't really know much about who the characters are anymore or storyline but I'm a quick learner and pick up on things quickly. From what I gathered, this story arc with Callie being proposed to and being pregnant with Mark's baby is pretty heavy. So in theory, you'd want to make sure that this message is very clear and the drama is thick. However, every time someone opened their mouth to start to sing, I couldn't help but giggle a little because it just didn't fit.
Well this is confusing if you ask me. In picture taken yesterday, Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson who are currently in divorce proceedings, were seen with their son outside of a Starbucks holding hands. I know, I know, they are adults and can hold hands and it means nothing. So were they just putting on a show for their son Bronx?
What makes this story more interesting is that this isn't the first time since Ashlee filed for divorce in early February that the two have been spotted together.
The couple almost made it to three years of marriage before separating in February. Friends are saying its been a very he said, she said kind of split. Some say the couple split due to Pete's erratic behavior while some say it was due to Ashlee's need to party. A few weeks ago, Ashlee was seen out on the town with one of Pete's friends which caused speculation that she was out on the market.

Her Strategy
She got a lot done by doing so little;
She said, 'I love you,' and left the rest to him.
She fed him, nursed him, and slaved for him;
She was no feminist but, when the time came, she left him.
He wandered, beast-like, ash-smeared, covered with hides,
Until she reclaimed him and made him a human being.
As the moth entered, the flame shone even more brightly;
He realized that such deaths don't come so easily.
He boasted, blustered, threatened to leave her forever;
Instead, he fell unconscious until her touch revived him.
During the day she was flamboyant, bold, quick;
But at night she pleaded, darling please turn out the lights.
When she went to Kathmandu, he went to Kanyakumari
Only to discover that the continent wasn't large enough to divide them.
When the veil dropped, the incense became camphor, not musk;
Chastened, he prayed, O Mother, please forgive my profanities.
He thought he could teach her a lesson or two in celibacy
But he found a child asleep beside him who'd forgotten her sex completely.
After years of abnegation, recovering his wits he looked at her appealingly
But she wasn't a switch to be turned on or off at will.
Obsessed with performance he wished to go on and on;
Relax, she said, this isn't 'publish or perish.'
Insecure to the extreme, he tried to steal her friends
Until, one by one his friends said that they preferred her to him.
He proposed to a hundred women and became a laughing stock;
When she accepted him, they weren't more astonished than him.
Our love is so ordinary, he thought, looking at their lives;
But she never complained: he lacked imagination, not she.
[From The Serene Flame]

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The NHL Doesn't Get It
by Paul on 03/04/07 at 11:11 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Larry Felser of the Buffalo News,
The NHL's problem is that it can't - or won't - shake its "duh!" culture. While pro football goes to extremes to protect its stars, the NHL goes to extremes to coddle its cement heads. Neil went unpunished after the Drury late hit because the NHL doesn't have a rule against late hits. In the era before helmets were mandatory, not so long ago, the players policed themselves because they respected one another and seldom would do anything that might threaten a career. Now hockey remains in an era where head-hunting is encouraged.

Immigrant minors should have deportation lawyers, suit says
Immigrants-rights groups filed a lawsuit in federal court in Seattle on Wednesday against the government, saying that most minors lack legal representation in deportation proceedings.
The Associated Press
A coalition of immigrant-rights advocacy groups sued the federal government Wednesday, saying the vast majority of minors in deportation proceedings lack legal representation.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle on behalf of eight plaintiffs who range in age from 10 to 17.
The plaintiffs came to the U.S. from Mexico and Central America. Several were fleeing violence — the same reason behind a surge of tens of thousands of minors coming to the southern border recently, the lawsuit said.
That crisis prompted federal officials to say Wednesday that deportation cases involving unaccompanied child immigrants and parents traveling with children would be moved to the top of immigration court dockets.
Under federal law, the government is not required to provide attorneys for immigrants of any age facing deportation. Immigrants can hire private attorneys or seek free legal representation.
Thousands of minors undergo deportation proceedings every year, and most lack legal representation, the lawsuit says. The groups argue that this practice violates the Constitution, saying the minors are entitled to due process under the Fifth Amendment.
"It is simply unacceptable that children are forced to stand alone before an immigration judge, pitted against trained attorneys from the federal government," said Matt Adams, legal director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, one of the groups suing.
The lawsuit names U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, among other federal officials.
A spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency of the Department of Homeland Security, declined to comment. The Justice Department did not immediately respond to an email.
The lawsuit seeks to require the government to provide minors with legal representation. It's also seeking class-action certification.
The groups argue that withholding attorneys from minors violates provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act that require a "full and fair hearing" before an immigration judge.
It wasn't immediately known how much it would cost to have government-provided attorneys represent minors in immigration court. Recently the Obama administration began a $2 million program through AmeriCorps to have 100 attorneys and paralegals work on cases with minors.
The minors in the lawsuit are living in California and Washington and scheduled for deportation hearings in August and September.
Attorney Kristen Jackson of Public Counsel, a legal-aid firm and one of the groups that filed suit, said children in desperate need of lawyers for deportation cases contact her office every day.
The other groups suing are the American Civil Liberties Union, American Immigration Council and K&L Gates. The suit was filed in Seattle because the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project is based there and has worked on several cases involving minors.

The Auto Bailout Failure Is Now Complete
You may recall that during the presidential election, the Treasury Department refused requests by General Motors to unload the government's stake in the giant automaker.
Taxpayers had sunk $50 billion into a union bailout in 2009 and were now proud owners of 26.5 percent of the struggling company. Reportedly, GM had growing concerns that the stigma of "Government Motors" was hurting sales in the United States. At the time, any transaction would have come at a steep loss to taxpayers and undermined the president's questionable campaign assertions that the auto union rescue had been a huge success.
Well, now that the election is over and the Treasury Department is freed of political considerations, it plans to sell its 500 million shares of stock over the next 12 to 15 months and ease its way out of the company. GM will buy around 200 million shares at $27.50 per share by the end of the year. GM's buy brings taxpayers back to around $5.5 billion of the $27 billion the company still owes. The special inspector general for TARP estimated in October that the Treasury would need to sell the remaining 500 million shares at $53.98 per share just to break even on its investment.
Once GM buys its 200 million shares, the taxpayer stake in the company will drop to 19 percent, but the price to break even on the remaining 300 million shares will be around $70 per — or, in other words, probably never. As of this writing, GM shares are trading at around $27 per share. That, in the Obama era, is considered a successful transaction between the state and private industry. So successful that you'll also remember that during the campaign, Obama maintained that "what we did with the auto industry, we can do in manufacturing across America."
Taxpayer funds and unions for everyone.
Even if taxpayers recouped all of their money from the bailout, there are a slew of economic arguments against rescuing failing industries. But the more immediate problem is that we will never get our money back, anyway.
GM's labor costs, estimated at $56 an hour, still are higher than any of its competitors. Since the Obama administration cajoled the normal bankruptcy hearings and eradicated the pensions of nonunion workers to ensure union success, employees, like the ones at Delphi, the auto parts manufacturer and one-time GM subsidiary, took it on the chin while $26 billion of taxpayer funds were used to keep United Auto Workers in a secure position.
The Treasury Department has just revised its estimate upward to $25 billion in losses, and it will probably be more than that when it's all said and done. Taxpayers also suffered a $2.9 billion loss in Chrysler (the carmaker had received $12.5 billion through TARP programs) in 2011.
"This announcement is an important step in bringing closure to the successful auto industry rescue, it further removes the perception of government ownership of GM among customers, and it demonstrates confidence in GM's progress and our future," claimed GM Chairman and Chief Executive Dan Akerson in a press release. But really, the bailout exemplifies much of what's wrong with government. The cronyism. Wasted taxpayer money. The government's propensity to interfere with the marketplace and prop up losing propositions.
With news of the government getting out of the car business, we'll probably see a spike in the stock price. Maybe once Obama has completely dropped our "investment" it'll take off. But a success for taxpayers? Hardly.

Echuca footballer 'devastated' with Bendigo Gold folding
Matt Farrelly has been part of the Gold since its start and was disappointed the club did not get more support.GEORDIE COWAN June 27, 2014 3:43am
Echuca footballer Matt Farrelly, who has played every game with Bendigo Gold in the past two years, said he was ''devastated'' after hearing the announcement Gold would fold before training on Wednesday.
''There's been a fair bit of hard work put in from the start and I've sort of been involved in all of that,'' he said.
''There's a group of us and it's just hard to hear after everything we've worked on in the last couple of years that it's just no longer going to exist.
''We're all just looking forward to the next eight weeks and making the most of what we've got left.''
Farrelly has been named in the best in five of his 10 matches this year and has averaged 14 touches, four marks and three tackles a game.
The half-back thought the club had been heading towards folding, but had hoped it would be at the end of next year.
''I thought after all the work (Bendigo chairman Tim) Dixon and Aussie Jones had done over the pre-season we might at least have another year,'' Farrelly said.
''If we had've, I think results would have started to come our way and the community would have jumped on board.''
Farrelly said he was disappointed in the lack of support from leagues in and around Bendigo.
''It would've been good if the Bendigo Football League would have supported it more,'' he said.
''I think a lot of people wanted us to fail.
''There's a lot out there who, rather than encourage players to go and play well and reach the next level, they would just get them to play locally so they would have a chance at a flag.''
The 21-year-old said he has ''loved'' his time at the Gold.
''I've made so many good mates. It's going to be pretty sad at the end of this year when I lose contact with most of them,'' he said.
''Two years down the drain.''
With eight weeks left until the end of the season and the curtain closes on the Gold's run in the VFL, Farrelly hopes the team goes out with a bang.
''Hopefully we can continue playing some good footy,'' he said.
''If they had waited another month or so, we might've made the decision a bit harder if we got some results.
''Hopefully we still do and show a few people on our way out how far we've come and what we've done.''

How Richardson helps Obama
Hillary Clinton's aides can't seem to agree on whether New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's endorsement helps Barack Obama, said Don Frederick in a Los Angeles Times blog, with one strategist saying it doesn't matter and another likening Richardson to Judas.
What happened
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination on Friday, delivering a blow to Hillary Clinton's campaign. Richardson, one of the nation's top Hispanic elected officials, held high-ranking positions in Bill Clinton's White House. This was an Easter-season "act of betrayal," said Clinton adviser James Carville. (The New York Times, free registration)
What the commentators said
The Clinton camp can't agree what Richardson's endorsement means, said Don Frederick in the Los Angeles Times' Top of the Ticket blog. Carville likened Richardson to Judas, but Clinton strategist Mark Penn said the endorsement didn't matter. Either way, with Carville's insult coming as Obama backer Gen. Tony McPeak compared Bill Clinton to Joseph McCarthy, it's clear the candidates' surrogates didn't take an Easter break.
It is unclear what Richardson hopes to gain by "slitting the throat of his political patrons," said Erick Erickson in the blog RedState. As someone "setting himself up as a Latino leader," it seems like a better political move to put himself at "the top of the Clinton food chain." Latinos, after all, are "heavily favoring Clinton over Obama."
But Democrats are favoring Obama, said Andrew Sullivan in The Atlantic, and it looks like "the power-shift has already begun" among Democratic superdelegates. So maybe the endorsement is "somewhat tinged with Richardson's hope for a veep pick"—and why not? Richardson could help Obama among Hispanics, in John McCain's strongholds in the West, and in bolstering the ticket's foreign policy credentials.
Richardson could sway superdelegates still sitting on the fence, said John Dickerson in Slate. But he also helped Obama change the subject after a hard week responding to criticism over his former pastor's incendiary sermons.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Treaty 'gift exchange' symbolizes need to nurture First Nations relations
At first glance, it's a lineup that makes little sense unless you're a status Indian.
Hundreds of First Nations people lined up for $5 bills at the annual Treaty Day at The Forks Tuesday, but there weren't many non-aboriginal people in the crowd, aside from a tourist or two. The event, complete with lasting symbols of an RCMP constable in ceremonial Red Serge, the maple leaf and the First Nations eagle staff, celebrates the treaties that led to the formation of the province.
This year, some 65,000 First Nations individuals in Manitoba are entitled to a treaty payment. Treaty payment days commonly happen across western Canada during summer powwow season.
For Swedish tourist Marcela Ewing, who stumbled on the event while snapping pictures at The Forks treaty payment day was mystifying at first.
Then it became almost ironic.
"My first thought is that $5 isn't that much," said Ewing, in Winnipeg for a medical conference.
"So they provided the land? And the resources? And they got $5? Well. Thank you," she said.
Her unspoken conclusion was it's a good thing the bills aren't about the money and she'd be right about that, reporters heard.
"It's a gift exchange," Manitoba Treaty Commissioner James Wilson said, after the the event's formal speeches. "This gift exchange is a recognition of the renewal of the relationship and a recognition the relationship is not static and it needs to be renewed and nurtured and worked on," Wilson said.
Next week, for instance, officials from the U.S. Consulate will meet at Winnipeg's Treaty Commission to discuss job opportunities in the North Dakota oil fields. Under the Jay Treaty, Americans recognize that Canadian First Nations have freedom to cross the border and can work in the United States without a visa.
At the same time, added Ojibway elder Clarence Nepinak, people come to collect the treaty money simply because of the power of its symbolism.
The older he gets, the more Nepinak said he understands treaties at a deeper level.
"The treaties were a covenant that was signed with our people and it's being honoured every year," Nepinak said.
Given that, it doesn't matter if Ottawa ignores or breaks treaty promises, he said. Every covenant has a spiritual dimension and as long as it is honoured, it has life and there is hope for change.
"The old people used to say 'ah mano' Let it go. Now that I'm older, I understand the concept of ah mano, of honouring the covenant... and now we are seeing that coming around to us. We can celebrate and be proud of who we are as a people," Nepinak said.

Apple CEO must give deposition to U.S. e-books lawsuit
|Report an Error
Share via Email
NEW YORK—Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook must give a deposition in the U.S. Justice Department's lawsuit against the world's biggest technology company over e- books pricing.
The U.S. sued Apple and a group of book publishers last year, claiming they conspired to raise prices for electronic books in violation of U.S. antitrust law. The possibility of Cook's deposition was disclosed March 8 in a brief order by U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan, who is overseeing the case. Cote ordered the deposition today, limiting it to four hours, according to the court.
The U.S. asked her in a letter on March 6 for "assistance in settling a discovery dispute" with Cupertino, California- based Apple over Cook's deposition. The March 6 letter wasn't part of the publicly available court file.
Apple is the only defendant remaining in the case. Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck GmbH's Macmillan unit, CBS Corp.'s Simon & Schuster, Lagardere SCA's Hachette Book Group, Pearson Plc's Penguin unit and News Corp.'s HarperCollins settled with the government.
Tom Neumayr, a spokesman for Apple, declined to comment on the deposition.
The case is U.S. v. Apple Inc., 12-cv-02826, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Loui Eriksson LW BOS 20 Days
Eriksson scored a goal for the first time since Oct. 16 and added a power-play assist in Thursday's win over Edmonton.
A nice night for Eriksson, who's nonetheless still struggling to prove that he can be the kind of team-carrying scorer he was for the Stars from 2008-09 to 2011-12 before suddenly falling off the pace in the lockout-shortened season two years ago. Still only 29 years old and enjoying regular top-six ice time for the B's, Eriksson represents a somewhat risky, but potentially high-reward buy-low opportunity.
Loui Eriksson LW BOS 25 Days
Eriksson gathered an assist on the first of two goals by Matt Fraser in Saturday's 4-2 victory over the Bruins.
Eriksson now has assists in back-to-back games while going plus-3 during that span, but his overall production for the season (seven points in 13 contests) has been rather pedestrian for a player averaging 17:38 of ice time. He should be a season-long asset in the plus/minus category for fantasy owners, but it's tough to forecast a return to the 70-point production he demonstrated with the Stars earlier in his career. Reaching 60 points might even be a stretch for Erikkson at this stage in his career.
Loui Eriksson LW BOS 1 Month
Erikson scored a goal, contributed an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's loss to Montreal.
This defeat certainly can't be laid at Eriksson's feet, but even with this effort, he hasn't bounced back much yet this year, with just three points in six contests. It's odd for a guy who's less than 30 years old and doesn't have much of a track record with injuries to decline as Eriksson has, but his fantasy owners are stuck with that reality.
Loui Eriksson LW BOS 1 Month
Eriksson netted his first goal of the season -- on the power play -- in Monday's loss to the Avalanche.
It was the first point of the season for Eriksson, who is currently skating on the third line with Carl Soderberg and Chris Kelly. Eriksson's fantasy value has gone down in Boston, where he is no longer playing on the top line and top power play unit -- as he did in Dallas. Through four games, Eriksson has managed just seven shots on goal, while averaging 16:32 of ice time.
Loui Eriksson LW BOS 2 Months
Eriksson saw 21:29 worth of ice time in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Red Wings.
Through the Bruins' first two games, Eriksson -- who has yet to record a point -- has been skating on a line with Chris Kelly and Carl Soderberg, though it remains to be seen if the trio will remain intact once top center David Krejci returns to Bruins' forward mix.
Loui Eriksson LW BOS 2 Months
In advance of Wednesday's game against the Flyers, Eriksson was skating on a line with Chris Kelly and Carl Soderberg, Joe Haggerty of csnne.com reports.
David Krejci's injury (which will cause him to miss at least three games) has caused the Bruins to shuffle up some of their lines, so the anticipated trio of Eriksson, Milan Lucic and Krejci is a potential combo that is on hold for now.
Loui Eriksson LW BOS 2 Months
Eriksson is projected to work on a line with Milan Lucic and David Krejci on Tuesday against the Islanders, the Bruins' official site reports.
With Lucic back in action, the Bruins' top line is taking shape, with Eriksson on track to fill the void created by the offseason departure of Jarome Iginla. While Eriksson is not the goal-scorer that Iginla is, he is a skilled two-way winger who should mesh well with Krejci and Lucic, with an uptick in production a likely outcome for the 29-year-old Swede. Eriksson notched 37 points in 61 games for the Bruins in 2013-14.
Loui Eriksson LW BOS 4 Months
Bruins coach Claude Julien suggested that Loui Eriksson will help fill the void left by Jarome Iginla.
That meshes with what Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli said in June when Iginla walking as a free agent was still just a possibility. Eriksson had just 10 goals and 37 points in 61 games last season, but he also suffered two concussions. He'll have a prime opportunity to rebound if the Bruins give him a shot on their top line in 2014-15.
Loui Eriksson LW BOS 5 Months
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli envisions Loui Eriksson playing on the top line if he cannot re-sign Jarome Iginla.
No harm in figuring out the contingency plans now. Eriksson is an excellent two-way player who is plenty talented to play on the first line, despite scoring just 10 goals and recording 37 points in 61 games last season. "I have to hedge in case we don't sign Jarome," Chiarelli said. "I have no problem if we have to put Loui on that top line. He's played on top lines before and he's played with the Sedins in the Olympics, and he was terrific. He's better suited for an upper line. If that's what we have to do then we'll do it. I'm trying to be patient with this because I really feel at one point there's going to be a player that will fit, and want to come here." Eriksson has scored at least 26 goals in four seasons, and he's been a 70-plus-point player in three. He could bounce back in a big way next season.
Loui Eriksson LW BOS 7 Months
Loui Eriksson ended his three-game scoring drought on Saturday.
Eriksson had a goal and an assist to help the Bruins earn a 4-2 victory over Montreal in Game 5 of the second round. He had a rough, injury-filled 2013-14 campaign and has been a secondary scorer rather than an offensive leader in the playoffs with two goals and five points in 10 contests.

The Van Wickle Family
Blithewold was established as a private estate, but the owners always shared their love and enthusiasm for their home with family, friends, famous botanists, horticulturists, and devoted amateur gardeners.
Augustus Van Wickle was born in 1856, in New Brunswick, New Jersey. After graduating from Brown University in 1876, he went to work in his father's coal mining business, "Van Wickle and Stout". He moved up in the company rapidly, and was sent to manage his father's mines in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. It was there that he met Bessie Pardee, daughter of Hazleton's wealthiest coal baron, Ario Pardee. Augustus and Bessie married in 1882, and their daughter, Marjorie, was born in 1883.
As his good fortune continued, Augustus began to consider buying a second home. In 1894, he took his wife and daughter to Rhode Island to spend the summer in Narragansett, and while visiting friends in Bristol he bought a 72' steam yacht from the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company. He then began the search for a suitable property on which to build a summer residence and found seventy acres of fertile waterfront land, with protected deep-water harbor for their boats, superb sailing, and easy access to the Atlantic Ocean beyond.
Building began immediately, and the shingled Queen Anne style mansion was ready for occupancy in the summer of 1896. Augustus and Bessie and their eleven year old daughter, Marjorie, were immediately swept up in the social life of the privileged classes of Bristol. The Van Wickles took parties out on their new yacht "Marjorie", and served elegant luncheons on board as they cruised to Newport to watch the National Tennis Championships on Bellevue Avenue.
In June 1898, while Bessie was at home in Hazleton packing trunks to move to Bristol for the summer, Augustus went out skeet-shooting with his brother-in-law. As he leaned over to mark his score in the dust, his gun accidentally discharged. He was carried home, gravely injured, and died less than an hour later. Bessie was carrying their second child, a blessing they had been praying for. Five months later Augustine was born in Hazleton, and Estelle Clements, an old family friend, moved into the Van Wickle home to help Bessie. Estelle became a second mother to Marjorie and Augustine and a trusted companion to Bessie. She had her own room at Blithewold, and lived there as a member of the family.
In 1901, Bessie married William Leander McKee, an old hunting and sailing friend of Augustus. He was a partner in a successful leather manufacturing business in Boston, and the family soon purchased a winter residence on Commonwealth Avenue. In the summertime the mansion and guest house were filled to overflowing, with friends and relatives often taking up residence for weeks at a time.
In June 1906, the original Blithewold mansion burned to the ground and the following year a second, grander mansion was built on the same site, using many of the architectural features saved from the first mansion. The house we know today is built of stone, in an English Country Manor style.
Bessie's older daughter, Marjorie Van Wickle, married George Armstrong Lyon in 1914, in the Enclosed Garden at Blithewold. George was a graduate of Harvard and Yale, and a Captain in the First World War. They bought a house in Brookline, MA, and a townhouse on Beacon Hill in Boston. Marjorie and George were tireless travelers, taking long trips to Alaska, Hawaii, New Brunswick and Wyoming, fishing and hunting big game. Marjorie became an accomplished watercolorist and many of her paintings are displayed in the mansion. But her true love was Blithewold, where she spent the rest of her life developing this beautiful property.
In 1919, Marjorie's younger sister, Augustine Van Wickle, married Quincy A. Shaw, Jr. from a prominent Boston family. They moved to Calumet, Michigan, where Mr. Shaw worked in his father's copper mining company. They had two daughters who were Bessie Van Wickle McKee's only grandchildren.
In the early 1930s, the McKees felt the effects of the stock market crash. They sold their home in Boston and made Blithewold their year-round residence. Thirty-five acres of land to the south of the Mansion, which held the guest house, the golf course and the club house, were sold.
When Bessie died at Blithewold in 1936, Marjorie and Augustine inherited the estate. Marjorie ultimately bought her sister's share, though Augustine continued to spend summers at Blithewold for the rest of her life. Marjorie died in 1976, at the age of 93, and her wish was that Blithewold be preserved and enjoyed by the public in perpetuity.

Postgraduate Lives: Matthew Harrison, research assistant, Royal College of Art
Bad lighting can affect our health
Thursday 10 November 2005
My research is looking at the ways in which office lighting can improve the health and well-being of an ageing workforce. If you've ever been in an office then you know how awful the lighting is, and there is a lot of room for improvement. I met a PA who worked in a dark office with no window nearby and she was suffering from terrible migraines. Then, one day, the overhead fluorescent light broke, and she stopped getting migraines. We spend more time in offices than anywhere else in our working life and the lighting really affects our health.
My undergraduate degree was in mechanical engineering at Imperial College. I found the course quite dry and unemotional and I was aware of the Royal College of Art (RCA) next door and I thought, 'gosh, that looks a lot more exciting'. I did an MA in industrial design at the RCA where they encourage people to combine an engineering background with creative, socially minded, design. After that I applied for a research assistant post.
I'm 25 and I've never worked in a proper office, so I have a fresh perspective. My focus is on an ageing workforce because when you get older you have more individual needs and preferences. As eyes age they become less sensitive to light and after the age of 45 your visual ability to do difficult tasks reduces rapidly. Yet suitable lighting is rarely provided; instead offices often use the cheapest lighting possible with constant light on the whole day. There is no emotional or psychological reference to the time of day or to what people are doing.
Natural light doesn't just provide us with vision; it is linked to our own body rhythms. There are receptors in the eyes that react to a dark blue spectrum of light that occurs in varying levels throughout the day. This light suppresses the sleep hormone, melatonin, that informs our body clocks. It exists outside in the morning and makes you alert and productive. But in the afternoon it disappears. If you spend all your daylight hours in an office with fluorescent light bulbs then it has a dulling effect on the body clock.
I began with book research and an analysis of new light technologies. Then I sat and watched peoples' behaviour in different sized offices at Orange and EMI. The third stage of research was a design hypothesis in which I created images of light fittings. I have now produced a website style tool which can be shared by my industrial sponsors, Thorn Lighting. The next stage is to work on a prototype control interface. This is the way light can be controlled using a computer.
There is some scepticism from old industrial experts but computer control of lighting is inevitable and it needs to be used to its full potential, by giving individuals control.
People have different preferences when it comes to light; there is not one solution that fits all.

When it comes to rap, louder is almost always better. Some artists—Waka Flocka, for example—simply can't be enjoyed at anything approaching a reasonable volume. YP's latest single is an exception to the rule: whether you blare it through your whip's sound system or play it Softly on headphones, you'll get the full impact. The Windy City representative's first feature since May's I Like That In You, this low-key street banger is built around a silky sample from Maxwell's record of the same title (as flipped by C-Sick). Contrary to what you might expect from the seductive backdrop, though, the lyrical philosophy YP outlines here is more business than pleasure: "Don't give no f*ck bout your n**gas and who your n**gas is / I'm only focused on my dividends." D. Gaines captures the record's subdued, nocturnal vibe in his official visuals. Feeling it? You'll be able to find Softly and many more fresh cuts on the artist's Restless mixtape. Packing guest appearances from Smoke DZA, Mikkey Halsted and more, the project is scheduled for digital release July 25.

Elias becomes New Jersey's all-time leading goalscorer
Dec 18, 2011, 12:07 PM EST
It was a special evening for Patrik Elias last night, and not just because his third-period marker proved the winning goal in New Jersey's 5-3 win over Montreal.
No, it was much more than that.
The goal was No. 358 for the 35-year-old Czech, making him the all-time leading goalscorer in Devils franchise history. The goal put him past former teammate — and for 33 games, former head coach — John MacLean.
"It just feels nice," Elias told NorthJersey.com. "It just feels that you're doing something right, and it keeps me going. Hopefully, I have a lot more in me, but at this moment I'm enjoying it."
Here's the record-setting goal. Chicago Blackhawks fans, please note the egregious defensive-zone turnover by Chris Campoli:
Elias scored his first NHL goal on Dec. 12, 1996, in Boston against Bill Ranford in a 7-4 Devils' victory. Since then he's appeared in over 900 games for the Devils, the only NHL team he's ever played for.
Following last night's win, New Jersey GM Lou Lamoriello and head coach Peter DeBoer had high praise for their veteran associate captain, who now leads the franchise in goals, assists (497), points (845), power-play goals (96), game-winning goals (77), overtime goals (15) and hat tricks (8).
"He's having himself a great year, and he's had a great career," Lamoriello said. "And he's not done yet."
"The guy's a winner," DeBoer added. "He's one of the most competitive people I know and just wants to win."

Newcastle sign Campbell on one-year deal
Wednesday 28 July 2010
Sol Campbell will remain in the Barclays Premier League next season after signing a one-year deal with newly-promoted Newcastle.
The 35-year-old was out of contract after his short-term deal with Arsenal ran out earlier this summer.
Campbell had courted interest from Newcastle's north-east rivals Sunderland as well as Celtic, but the Magpies emerged as the front-runners to secure his services and he completed a medical on Tyneside yesterday.
Campbell's signing will bolster a Newcastle defence that has been weakened by Steven Taylor's shoulder injury.
Taylor is set to miss the start of the season, which begins away to Manchester United on August 16, but there are fears he could be sidelined for several months, prompting manager Chris Hughton to make his move for Campbell.
And the former England international, who only 12 months ago was on the books of then npower League Two side Notts County, said he was delighted to be a part of the club's quest to re-establish themselves in the top tier.
"At this stage of my career I couldn't have wished for a better move," Campbell, who will wear the number five shirt, told the club's official website www.nufc.co.uk.
"To join a club such as Newcastle United, with its proud tradition, heritage and magnificent support is absolutely tremendous for me.
"I'd like to thank (manager) Chris Hughton for putting his faith in me and aim to repay him and the supporters by giving everything I possibly can to help re-establish this great club in the top-tier of english football.
"I just want to play and can't wait to get started.
"There's a real buzz about the place and that's great.
"I've played at St James' Park numerous times and always found it a fantastic place to play, there's always a tremendous atmosphere.
"Chris will focus everyone together and get them ready for the season."
Hughton was delighted to secure the services of Campbell, who he worked alongside at Tottenham when he was assistant coach.
"I have known Sol since he was a lad at Tottenham and am fully aware of what he has to offer," Hughton added.
"That is experience, quality, calm assurance and leadership.
"He's a dedicated professional, a terrific addition to the squad and I look forward to working with him in again."
Sunderland's interest in the 73-times capped former England international diminished in recent weeks after they signed defender Titus Bramble from Wigan, while they are also expected to loan John Mensah for another season from Lyon.
Campbell has only recently returned from his honeymoon after being married in Northumberland earlier this month, after which he had indicated a decision on his future would be made public.
The central defender made a shock return to the Premier League for a second spell with Arsenal last season, after he played just one match before leaving Notts County.

De-amalgamation is not the solution to our Rob Ford problem
The answer to the current crisis at City Hall does not lie in Toronto's past.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Conflicts that bedevil Toronto now began before Rob Ford became mayor. They will still be with us after Ford staggers from the scene. People who imagine they can cleanse the city of trouble they think Ford caused by getting Premier Kathleen Wynne to "de-amalgamate" Toronto are being foolish.
In 1998 Premier Mike Harris forced Toronto and five surrounding municipalities into one big municipality that its opponents still bitterly call "the megacity." The public had voted against amalgamation in a referendum but Harris rammed Bill 103 amalgamating Toronto through the legislature. He claimed it would create economies. More likely Harris wanted to trim provincial budgets by downloading roads, welfare and other provincial responsibilities onto municipalities and he needed a Toronto big enough to handle everything he was about to dump on the city.
So you can understand amalgamation as just ugly politics.
But you can also see amalgamation as a natural, evolutionary step. If Harris hadn't taken that step some other premier would have. The time had come. Something more than a quarrelsome tangle of boroughs and small cities was needed to manage Toronto's future.
Consider: Beginning as a muddy provincial capital in 1834 Toronto had grown into a city of 672,000 by the beginning of the 1950s. But the city was still surrounded by smaller municipalities and they were all fighting over who should pay for roads and water pipes needed to service land for new housing. In 1953, the province forced Toronto and 12 smaller municipalities to link up in the federation of Metropolitan Toronto. Many complained about this shotgun marriage back then just as they complained about the forced amalgamation of Toronto 45 years later.
But the system worked. The upper tier, the Metropolitan government, was made responsible for metropolitan hard services, most importantly water and roads. Metro's lower tier, the older municipalities, got responsibility for neighbourhood planning and most services to people.
Over the years as land filled up with new housing and new people, services people relied on spread through the metropolitan region Bit by bit they became the responsibility of the metropolitan government — daycare, senior citizen housing, policing, ambulances, even funding community organizers.
But managing this expanding urban complexity was still just a part-time job for politicians. One whole side of the Toronto City Hall clamshell was occupied by Metro civil servants but Metro politicians didn't even keep offices there. They were elected to local councils and these local councils sent them to Metro. They came downtown a couple of times a month for meetings and then went back to their local city halls. They saw their job as defending local interests
In the early 1980s the TTC promoted a plan that would have spread a network of subways, street cars and separated bus lanes through Metropolitan Toronto by 2011. If we had all that up and operating today we would think Toronto was still "the city that works." But instead of acting on the 2011 plan, Metro councillors spent a couple of years fighting over which city should get what services first and by the time they were ready to make choices provincial governments had changed and little got done. The divided responsibilities of the Metro era also contributed to making troubled suburban neighbourhoods like Jane/Finch.
By 1988, it was clear that the two-tier Metro system had outlived its usefulness. Queen's Park decided voters could elect councillors to serve only on Metro council instead of also serving on local council. But it was another 10 years until Harris finally eliminated the lower-tier municipalities and gave us one city council with one set of politicians we can elect and hold accountable for what happens here.
So why doesn't it work better? Mayor David Miller and his advisers went for corporate rather than democratic efficiency. With corporate efficiency, the boss makes decisions and everyone else falls in line — or gets pushed out. Corporate efficiency looks attractive because things get done quickly but people who feel left out of the process start collecting stacks of grievances. They become a disruptive bloc like the Ford Nation. David Miller concentrated power in the mayor's office.
Ford has been able to make effective use of that power.
