OpinionNigeria 2015: Servicing the instruments of war Ahead of the 2015 elections, Nigeria's political elites are mired in exchanges of bitter criticism a 06 Aug 2014 14:19 GMT | Politics, Niger, Nigeria, Boko Haram, Africa Muhammadu Buhari recently survived an attack on his convoy in Kaduna [AP]About the Author Casmir Igbokwe Casmir Igbokwe is editor of The Union, Nigeria's daily newspaper. Story highlightsFormer Nigerian Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, is a war veteran. Even as a retired soldier and now an opposition politician, the man still has some form of romance with war. After losing the 2011 presidential election, this All Progressives Congress Party chieftain became angry with the electoral system. He reportedly said that if what happened in 2011 should happen in 2015, "by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood." In Nigeria these days, elections seem to be presented in war terms. We all remember former President Olusegun Obasanjo describing the process as a do-or-die affair and it seems that Nigerian politicians are working towards proving him right yet again. The 2015 general and presidential elections are not dueFormer Nigerian head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari, is a war veteran. Even as a retired soldier and now an opposition politician, the man still has some form of romance with war. After losing the 2011 presidential election, this All Progressives Congress (APC) party chieftain became angry with the electoral system. He reportedly said that if what happened in 2011 should happen in 2015, "by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood." In Nigeria these days, elections seem to be presented in war terms. We all remember former President Olusegun Obasanjo describing the process as a do-or-die affair and it seems that Nigerian politicians are working towards proving him right yet again. The 2015 general and presidential elections are some six months away and yet the drumbeats of war are already echoing in different parts of the country. Power struggles Just a few weeks ago, Buhari warned, "Our country has gone through several rough patches, but never before have I seen a Nigerian President declare war on his own country as we are seeing now. Never before have I seen a Nigerian President deploy federal institutions in the service of partisanship as we are witnessing now. Never before have I seen a Nigerian President utilise the common wealth to subvert the system and punish the opposition, all in the name of politics." Talk to Al Jazeera - Wole Soyinka: 'Islam is not in danger' The former head of state was reacting to the removal and threats to remove some state governors who belong to the main opposition party, the APC. In July, lawmakers from the northeastern state of Adamawa removed the state governor, Murtala Nyako, based on an investigation of alleged financial misconduct. A probe was also launched by some legislators in Nasarawa State who threatened to remove the state governor, Tanko Al-Makura; the move did not succeed, as accusations against him were dismissed by the panel tasked with the investigation. Tensions over Nyako and Al-Makura's probes rose and now there are also rumours that plans are afoot to remove other opposition governors. Although the two probes were hinged on gross misconduct and misappropriation of funds, opposition leaders strongly believe that the presidency and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are the unseen hands manipulating the lawmakers. The Nigerian president and head of PDP has denied this charge, and in response his spokesman, Reuben Abati, announced, "President Jonathan has never at any time ordered that any Nigerian should be kidnapped or that anyone should be crated and forcefully transported in violation of decent norms of governance." This was a veiled reference to the failed attempt in 1984 to smuggle in a crate the-then exiled former transport minister, Umaru Dikko, from London to Nigeria to face corruption charges. Buhari was the military head of state then. The idea of crating former politicians to face charges died with Umaru Dikko. The real issue today is Boko Haram and both sides seem to conveniently use the group for their own conspiracy theories. The PDP believes that the opposition uses the dreaded Islamist group to cause confusion and make the government look incapable of governance. The APC believes the ruling party is using the terrorists to destabilise the north, the stronghold of the opposition party, in order to gain political advantage in the forthcoming elections. As an APC spokesperson, Mr Osita Okechukwu, reportedly put it, "The worst of Boko Haram attacks are carried out in areas where the PDP is afraid of losing." Last month, Buhari cheated death when a suicide bomber suspected to be a Boko Haram member attacked his convoy in Kaduna, northwest Nigeria. He strongly believes the incident was a clear assassination attempt on his life and most of his party members seem to agree with him. As expected, they point fingers at the PDP-controlled federal government. At the same time some pro-government people believe that Buhari masterminded the alleged assassination attempt to attract public sympathy and paint President Jonathan as a bad leader. This exchange of allegations is clearly ridiculous, to say the least. Buhari couldn't have arranged his own assassination. After all he had condemned Boko Haram and the group had threatened him directly before the incident. It is equally implausible that the government planned to kill him and sent a suicide bomber for the task. Accusations and counter-accusations Some politicians are merely capitalising on the poor security situation in the country to achieve political gains. Their accusations and counter-accusations have become a pastime. In Osun, southwest Nigeria, the PDP claimed that its governorship campaign train came under attack at a rally in the Ilesa area of the state recently. Talk to Al Jazeera - Doyin Okupe: Failing to control Boko Haram The APC followed suit with a petition to President Jonathan, alleging plot to kill one of its governors - Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State. The party further alleged that troops sent to provide security for the June 21 governorship election in Ekiti State also harassed and intimidated the opposition. Ironically, the federal government deployed troops during the governorship election in Edo State in July 2012. That year the opposition governor, Adams Oshiomhole, not only won the election but also commended the Federal Government for deploying troops to maintain law and order. For now, the PDP appears to be gaining ground over the opposition. Since it changed its national chairman in January, the ruling party has been reaping good fortunes. Some strong opposition leaders have defected to the party, including the former governor of Sokoto state, Attahiru Bafarawa; former governor of Kano state, Ibrahim Shekarau; former military administrator of Lagos state, Buba Marwa and former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff. Currently, the PDP controls 20 states while the APC controls 14. In the governorship election held last June in the southwestern state of Ekiti - a supposed stronghold of the opposition - the PDP won. More cross-carpeting and tension will follow when President Jonathan formally declares his intention to run for the 2015 presidential race. Some Niger Delta warlords have threatened that it's either him or nobody else. But some northern leaders, who believe that it is the turn of the north to take the presidency, are ready to do anything to stop him. So far, the two main parties have deployed what has been termed "stomach infrastructure" to outwit each other. Occasionally, they dole out gift items, especially foodstuff such as rice, to gullible citizens to win support. Besides, some politicians indulge in ritual practices to win elections. Each time a major election approaches, as in 2015, there is usually an increase in cases of ritual killings in different parts of the country. In all this, only a few politicians have the interest of the masses at heart, while the rest of them struggle to grab power for their selfish interests.

The Devon region
The North Devon Coast
For spectacular scenery and beautiful beaches whatever the season, there's no better place in England than North Devon coast and in particular Croyde. The beaches are recognised as possibly some of the finest and cleanest in Europe - with two miles of soft golden sand, plenty of rock pools and amazing surf.
The coastline is as rugged as it is beautiful dotted with magnificent cliffs, tiny cove and picturesque harbours. It was once the haunt of smugglers, pirates and wreckers and the fascinating history is retold in many small museums along the coast. Today visitors who love Henry Williamson's famous Tarka the Otter can retrace Tarka's journey by following the Tarka Trail.
CYCLE TO - A day at historic Braunton Burrows is great. Cyclists can enjoy the 30-mile Tarka Trail tracking the scenic coastline of North Devon.
DRIVE TO – explore the beautiful Exmoor National Park. Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park, The Milky Way and The Big Sheep all within a short driving distance. Cultural days can be passed at Arlington Court, historic Clovelly Village, Watermouth Castle, Lynton, Lynmouth, Victorian-styled Ilfracombe with its quaint fishing harbour and many more. Saunton Golf Course is a mere 3 miles down the road with its 2 famous links courses. Finally, picturesque walks through beautiful forested areas and running rivers such as at Watersmeet will complete your wonderful stay in this beautiful part of England.
Croyde is ideally located within easy reach of the harbours of Clovelly and Lynmouth which are also perfect places to relax. Meander through the streets of Lynmouth and take a ride on the unique water powered cliff railway to the twin town of Lynton which is perched high on the cliffs. Clovelly is another of the prettiest coastal village where it feels as if time stood still. The only means of transport on these famous cobbled streets are donkeys and sleds.
Along the coastline surrounding a natural harbour is Ilfracombe with its Victorian architecture, Esplanade and famous Tunnels Beach. The harbour is always busy with fishing boats sailing in and out together with the paddle steamer Balmoral which offers day trips to Lundy Island. North Devon has something to offer and appeal to everyone, take time to come and find out for yourselves, we will make you very welcome.
WALK TO – Croyde is a magical place nestling around a stream running down to the sea. This award-winning sandy beach is fine and flat, ideal for children and good for surfing. Rock pools are in abundance and dunes a haven for young and intrepid explorers. Local fun parks for the children such as Cascades Pool Park are a great way to spend the day. Croyde Bay is renowned as a premier surfing beach destination in England for short and long boards. For the more adventurous, kite surfing, volley ball, kayaking and horse riding is on your doorstep. Within walking distance of Croyde beach enjoy its ice cream shop, gourmet restaurants, superb village pubs, surf shops, and art gallery. This classic 'chocolate-box' village is steeped in old-world charm and echoes the feeling of life in Britain in times gone by. Coastal and Countryside walks include the majestic Croyde cliff path to Baggy Point, (and for those energetic), to Woolacombe and beyond.

By Eric Marrapodi, CNN Belief Blog Editor Follow @EricCNNBelief
Washington (CNN) - By Friday, Hobby Lobby would have racked up $14.3 million in fines from the Internal Revenue Service for bucking Obamacare. But in keeping with the great American tax tradition, they may have found a loophole.
The company is facing $1.3 million a day in fines for each day it chooses not to comply with a piece of the Affordable Care Act that was set to trigger for them on January 1. The craft store chain announced in December that, because of religious objections, they would face the fines for not providing certain types of birth control through their company health insurance.
The penalty was set to go into effect on the day the company's new health care plan went into effect for the year.
Peter M. Dobelbower, general counsel for Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. said in a statement released through the Becket Fund that, "Hobby Lobby discovered a way to shift the plan year for its employee health insurance, thus postponing the effective date of the mandate for several months."
The statement continued that "Hobby Lobby does not provide coverage for abortion-inducing drugs in its health care plan. Hobby Lobby will continue to vigorously defend its religious liberty and oppose the mandate and any penalties."
Follow the CNN Belief Blog on Twitter
Last month Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor rejected the company's appeal for a temporary relief from the steep fines while their case made its way through the lower courts.
Hobby Lobby announced a day after the ruling that it "will continue to provide health insurance to all qualified employees. To remain true to their faith, it is not their intention, as a company, to pay for abortion-inducing drugs."
In September, Hobby Lobby and affiliate Mardel, a Christian bookstore chain, sued the federal government for violating their owners' religious freedom and ability to freely exercise their religion.
The lawsuit says the companies' religious beliefs prohibit them from providing insurance coverage for abortion-inducing drugs. As of August 2012, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, dubbed Obamacare, requires employer-provided health care plans to provide "all Food and Drug Administration approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity," according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Churches and houses of worship are exempt from the regulation and a narrow exemption was added for nonprofit religious employers whose employees "primarily share its religious tenets" and who "primarily serve persons who share its religious tenets."
The Internal Revenue Service regulations now say that a group health care plan that "fails to comply" with the Affordable Care Act is subject to an "excise tax" of "$100 per day per individual for each day the plan does not comply with the requirement." It remains unclear how the IRS would implement and collect the excise tax.
A spokesperson for the Justice Department declined to comment on the high court's move last month.
White House officials have long said they believe they have struck an appropriate compromise between religious exemptions and women's health. The White House has not commented specifically on the Hobby Lobby case.
CNN's Belief Blog: The faith angles behind the biggest stories
The Oklahoma City-based Hobby Lobby chain has more than 500 stores that employ 13,000 employees across 42 states, and takes in $2.6 billion in sales. It is still privately held by CEO and founder David Green and members of his family.
"The foundation of our business has been, and will continue to be strong values, and honoring the Lord in a manner consistent with biblical principles," a statement on the Hobby Lobby website reads, adding that one outgrowth of that is the store is closed on Sundays to give its employees a day of rest.

The Hobby Lobby case is just one of many before the courts over the religious exemption aspects of the law. The case represents by far the biggest for-profit group challenging the health care mandate.
Part of the reason Sotomayor rejected their appeal to the Supreme Court she wrote was because their case is still pending in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.
A spokesperson for the Becket Fund said on Friday a date has yet to be set for the case to be heard in the 10th Circuit.
the government cannot be forcing anything down the throat of a company. This action is just a way to force a mandate on everyone regardless of belief. By doing so, this makes the current administration nothing more than a bully, trying to force its way. This is not the way the government was set up by our founding fathers.
our founding fathers came to america to escape from religious persecution you fool. if we allow companies to force their beliefs upon its employees how is that any different from a king forcing the people to go to church????? hobby lobby has no right to force their beliefs on their employees!
@ war on women: Partially correct. Our Founding Fathers came to America to escape the persecution on how they worshiped god. They didn't come here to start a nation where people could practice whatever they wanted. They came here to practice Puritanism because they felt the Catholic Church and other parts of Christianity were too liberal.
If you're going to invoke history at least do it right.
@Matt. I have the right to worship anything I want or nothing at all. Just as our founding fathers did! I know history and the christians want us to believe that our founding fathers where christian and most where NOT. So you read what ever fairy tale history book you want I will read mine!
The union have figured a way around it, and so have member of Congress...
Dear Hobby Lobby: iI's cool. I shop at Michael's anyway. They have a better selection, and their name doesn't sound like something my five-year-old dreamt up. Keep clutching your Bible. That's the ticket.
It's great that you have a choice where to shop. Unfortunately the living, yet unborn child does not get the opportunity to choose another womb.
It isn't a child when aborted, and thankfully the mother, who is unarguably alive, does get a choice.
Kurt, it's a zygote – a fertilized egg. The Morning After pill does not induce an abortion, it prevents the zygote from implanting in the womb. It's not a "living, yet unborn child", it's a collection of cells.
Actually, it's a single cell organism before it attaches to the womb. 1 single cell. That's the same amount of cells as an amoeba.
Ha,... funny,.. loop-holes are good payback,... One thing I think should be made is forcing ALL WELFARE recipients to take and pass a DRUG TEST and CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK the EXACT SAME AS I HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO MAKE THE MONEY THAT THEY ARE GIVEN..... the people who are law sbiding have nothing to fear,.. the others get rejected just as I would be for a job!!!
Uncle Adolf would be proud. He took that EXACT same view. So did the good gentlemen in Salem, Mass.
It costs more to catch the few that wouldn't qualify than you save from cutting them off. Ask the State of Florida.
Second, this has nothing to do with the story.
Third, using capital letters does not make your argument any more convincing.
While I completely agree with your statement, unfortunately that's not part of the plan. The plan is for poor people is to just be doled out sub-poverty amounts of money, mainly so they can pay off their drug dealers, who make up the bulk of their inner city economies. Everyone else gets pillaged by the government, and everyone, including the government gets pillaged by the banks and the wealthy elite. Sucks, doesn't it?
I suppose if we want to waste tax dollars, we would follow your suggestions. The facts do not support your stance, as evidenced by the experience in Florida:
Except that abortion is far less expensive than the cost to an insurance company to cover a child's birth and healthcare expenses.
Don't believe what Hobby Craft or any other company says until they declare they are willing to pay more for their healthcare insurance due to the fact that they have religious objections to abortion and birth control.
I'm so tired of special exceptions for religions that worship evil deities who kill people en masse, abort all fetuses on the planet by drowning them, damn people to eternal torture, and force women to marry their rapists. They should be branded as demon worshipping cults and forced to follow all laws and pay taxes.
wow...you are not only hate-filled yourself, but completely ignorant about world religions, especially Christianity
That's a nice opinion, commoncents, or would be if you could back it up with facts like I did mine. Please refute any of the points I made. I'll wait.
Seeing as how neither you nor anyone else was able to refute my points, I'd say you owe me an apology for calling me hate-filled and ignorant. I'll probably have to wait for that, too.
Very pathetic organization.. they are antiwoman. Shop at Michaels.
Being anti-abortion is not being anti-woman.
insurance should cover women from head to toe just as they do men. to not cover a woman's female organs is omitting a part of her body thus discriminating against her. simple as that! if you don't agree with certain drugs DON'T TAKE THEM!
The Morning After pill is not an abortion, as there is no fetus or even embryo involved. Just a single cell organism much like an amoeba.
So if their religion also believed that women are inferior to men and black people are inferior to white people, would they then be allowed to engage in discriminatory hiring practices? The fact is, when your beliefs are in conflict with the law... the law wins.
My religion prevents me from paying a minimum wage or hiring blacks. Hobby Lobby and I should be allowed to do as we please. Right?
Actually, as your natural right, you should be able to hire/not hire anyone you want, regardless of the reason. It may not be morally right, but its your natural right. There's a difference.
Actually, dbagboy, in a civilized society we do not allow minorities from being discriminated against, and we don't allow slave labor. We also don't allow women to be discriminated against by their employer like Hobby Lobby is doing.
I'm sure Hobby Lobby isn't so particular in who they take money from. When the chain announces it will no longer serve customers and take payment from anyone who has sinned, then I will think they're true to their Christian ideals. As for their current stand, it's all about their money and politics, not anything to do with religion. So, would it be legal for a company run by a member of the Jehovah's Witness church to say it won't pay for any medical procedure involving blood transfusions since their religion forbids it? If Hobby Lobby wanted to be truly Christian, it would split 100 percent of its profits with the many minimum wage employees who might need an abortion because their company doesn't pay enough for them to raise a family.
They have the choice of working for Hobby Lobby or not. If it's important to them to be able to access abortion drugs then work for someone else. It's known that Hobby Lobby is a Christian based company.
that is called discrimination. no one in this country has the right to force their beliefs onto someone else through EMPLOYMENT!
by abortion drugs they mean the birth control pill. How anti woman is that? pregnant and in the kitchen.. no where in the bible does it say a woman cannot use birth control and I've read it many times. Shop at Michaels.
Christian based? What does thhat mean, they over charge you for their merchandise in the name of God?
They are CHRISTIAN until their insurance premiums increase because they have to add an additional family member who they will insure for 18 or possibly 26 years!
Regular birth control pills is sometimes seen as abortion causing by christian doctors...
If this store was some type of christian store selling religious materials then Hobby lobbies argument would make sense. However as the store is not that, the insurance is paid through the business from monies collected through day to day business. As it is the business paying it and not directly from an individuals funds, there is no violation of someones religious beliefs as a business cannot have a belief, the owners might but two different things.
America,you are going to beso sorry you elected the Socialist, Obama.
God sure mangles the English language.
God here? I would never have thought God was an idiot that post right wing Fox type comments on the internet. Don't you have a plague or something to conjure up?
RE-elected you mean. I think we're pretty happy with our choice over that other schmuck. Thanks!
You wouldn't know what a socialist is if he was standing in front of you, ignorance is bliss
You would have preferred a racist "Hitler" type?
I'm sure that none of their underpaid employees using any type of birth control....yea right.
Seeing as how their stores are full of 'cheap junk from China'...I don't shop there anyway.
are using
I refuse to shop there because they seem to think they can force their beliefs onto their employees!
How about a company run by a Jehovah's Witness not covering blood transfusions? or a company run by orthodox jews or muslims not allowing their male employees from talking with their female employees? For profit companies are not people and their is no such thing as limiting their freedom of religion. You can't force your employees to live their lives like you do.
Lay off few employees to cover for the losses in IRS fines. Obamacare, mother of all job killers
Get an education so you don't have to get a job. Get a career.
Please go back to what planet you were conceived from.. never to be heard from again. Obama care is a job killer. what a baseless remark.
the fox news suckers are out tonight
Stupid jesus freaks, I hope they get fined for a billion dollars and go out of business.
I totally agree!
So much for giving unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's. I guess that part of the New Testament was added inadvertently. I can respect paying a fine rather than complying in order to stand up for your principles as the law allows for that, but to avoid it altogether by violating another supposed principle helps show the true colors.
Everything that the government has comes from the people, so you can't "give" to government that which it never had in the 1st place.
Hobby Lobby seems to be one of what used to be called holy roller organizations. What business is it of their's if an employee chooses to use contraceptives? No doubt the owners of Hobby Lobby support the death penalty.
What people need to understand is if the fed can tax you for not providing abortions to other people they can tax you for not going to church or owning a gun or owning a boat or etc. Personally I think any one who doesn't attend church should should be taxed at 90 percent
Does it have to be a government approved church?
lol @ taxing for owning a gun or not going to church. This country is in such a nosedive when people like that have the same voting rights as those of us with an elementary education.
So much for separation of church and state.
sure billy boy and I think churches should be taxes at 90% so there you go.. we all pay our taxes.
Because I don't go to church, I should be taxed at 90%? You and people that think like you are the reason religious organizatoins lose footing each year in American. This is still a free country – last time I checked. I don't have to go to church. Ever heard of separation of church and state? Like most Christians who claim they don't judge you are doing just that.
I vote with my wallet by boycotting Hobby Lobby. The owner has every right to treat his female employees like chattel, just as I have the right to get my picture framing done elsewhere.
They are not treating their women like chattel. I have to assume that you want the government to dictate to you everything that you do. The obamacare law is costing every one more money. To put in contraception coverage is stupid. It makes other people have to pay for some people that cannot afford the few dollars to buy a box of condoms wal-mart.

Despite the warm weather in LA, Lauren Conrad and her BFF Lo didn't look very sunny outside of their house yesterday.

Speak Life... and shut the hell up!
What exactly is "Speaking Life"? Let's begin with what it's not. It's not positive speaking ... it's not a 'name it and claim it' approach to faith. Rather, speaking life is a natural result of having received by revelation, God's perspective on a situation. Jesus spoke the language of life all the time. Like Jesus, once we see something from God's perspective and hear what He is saying, our ownPriority One : A True Understanding of God's Grace in our Lives
Many today seem to promote a type of Christianity that has little room for teaching the Bible. However if we want to use the label 'Christian' of ourselves with any real integrity then we need to be Bible people. Sadly, we live at a time when many Christians have little knowledge of the Bible.

Man dies in head-on collision near Elkford
On February 23, at approximately 6:12 a.m., Elk Valley RCMP and East Kootenay IRSU responded to a two-vehicle head-on collision on Highway 43, about 11 kilometres south of Elkford.
According to an RCMP press release, a lone 42-year-old male was travelling southbound on Highway 43 in a Ford Focus. The investigation showed that the Focus lost control and crossed the centre line into the path of a northbound GMC Tracker, where the vehicles collided.
The driver of the Ford Focus died at the scene. The lone male driver of the GMC Tracker was taken to hospital with major injuries.
Road conditions at the time were slippery and snow-covered.
As a result of the collision, Highway 43 was reduced to single-lane alternating traffic, fully opening later in the afternoon.
The investigation into the collision is ongoing.

The CBA Screw-Up
by Paul on 07/11/08 at 12:39 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Ken Campbell of the Hockey News,
The Jonas Frogren contract imbroglio has the Toronto Maple Leafs in the peculiar position of aligning themselves with the NHL Players' Association against the NHL.
While it could have far-reaching effects when it comes to signing older European players, the whole thing arose out of an honest mistake both sides made when they drafted the last collective bargaining agreement.
"Nobody should blame the Leafs for this. This is not their screw-up," said a source close to the situation. "The screw-up was in the drafting of the CBA. But it's not surprising that in a 500-page document, that two provisions would conflict each other."

Economic Roadblock

from Al Strachan of Fox Sports,
Three years down the road into economic paradise, the National Hockey League has hit a roadblock.
To some, this comes as no surprise. The Collective Bargaining Agreement that was hammered out after the lockout was clearly headed for trouble. For starters, no matter how many times commissioner Gary Bettman repeated his mantra for the gullible — "We're doing it for the fans." — there were three reasons for that lockout, and not one of them involved the well-being of fans.
Bettman wanted (a) to consolidate his power base; (b) to solidify his game plan of expanding the league into regions not familiar with hockey; and (c) to get rid of Bob Goodenow as head of the NHL Players' Association.

Cost Certainty Out The Window
by Paul on 07/09/08 at 07:35 PM ET

from Tim Wharnsby of the Globe and Mail,
On July 22, three years will have elapsed since the NHL and the National Hockey League Players' Association ratified a collective agreement to end the exhausting 310-day lockout that cancelled the 2004-05 season.
During the shutdown, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman's favourite buzzwords were "cost certainty." While Bettman would never publicly condone the money that several clubs tossed at players this past week, the NHL office can't be happy about the more than $725-million (all currency U.S.) that clubs spent in the past nine days to re-up some of their own players and lure new talent.

At The Cap
by Paul on 07/09/08 at 08:12 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette,
It's a tossup which team is in the worst position vis-a-vis the salary cap in the NHL, the Los Angeles Kings or the Anaheim Ducks.
The Kings are $12 million below the $40-million floor and they have been non-players in the free-agent market. They do have some restricted free agents like Jarret Stoll and Patrick O'Sullivan to sign, but they might be forced to overpay just to meet the minimum.
The Ducks are one of four teams that are currently above the $56.3-million cap. They have overspent by $2.4 million and it can't all be Kevin Lowe's fault. Other teams over the cap are the Philadelphia Flyers, Chicago Blackhawks and the Calgary Flames.

Intriguing Free Agents Still Out There
by Alanah McGinley on 07/07/08 at 11:54 AM ET
Comments (0)
From Kevin Allen at USA Today,
•Brendan Shanahan: He's 39, but he had 23 goals last season for the New York Rangers. He still can be effective on the power play with his one-timer.
•Jason Williams: Teams would look at him to improve their special teams. The right wing owns a big shot on the point on the power play and has nifty moves in the shootout.
•Ladislav Nagy: An intriguing scorer, his 2007-08 season was undermined by injury.

UFA System Working
by Paul on 07/07/08 at 08:58 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Jamie Fitzpatrick at Jamie's Hockey Blog,
After three seasons, the new salary system is "an abject failure in regard to the goal of 'cost certainty'" according to Jim Kelley at SI.com.
He's wrong. NHL player costs are certain, down to the penny. Just ask the army of accountants who calculate league revenue every year. The players' share is set at just over 56 percent for next season. You don't get much more certain than that.
Bottom line: If the money wasn't rolling in, the players wouldn't be getting it.
Maybe the Florida Panthers and Phoenix Coyotes don't have enough of that money. That's their own fault for not selling enough tickets.

It's On The Owners
by Paul on 07/06/08 at 09:32 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
We must admit we find all the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the media and fans over the amount of money spent during the first days of free agency a bit confusing.
We're pretty sure Chicago GM Dale Tallon did not knock down some old woman at the Billy Goat Tavern and pull $56 million out of her handbag to pay Brian Campbell to come and play defense for the Blackhawks.
Nor did Cliff Fletcher panhandle on the sidewalk outside the Air Canada Centre to raise the $12 million it took to bring in the anonymous Jeff Finger to play defense for the Toronto Maple Leafs….
Memo to owners: This is what you wanted. If you can't make it work, boo hoo.

Casting Net: Michael Fassbender eyes 'The Light Between Oceans'; Plus, Jessica Chastain, more
• Michael Fassbender (12 Years a Slave) is in talks to star in the Derek Cianfrance-directed adaptation of M.L. Stedman's 2012 novel The Light Between Oceans. The story follows a lighthouse keeper and his wife, who discover an infant and a dead body in a rowboat and decide to raise the child as their own in post-World War I Australia. Fassbender can be seen next in X-Men: Days of Future Past (out May 23). [THR] READ FULL STORY
A 'Heathers' sequel with Meryl Streep? How Winona Ryder almost made it happen
At the end of Heathers, the 1989 black comedy about homicidal teenagers and figurative chainsaw intercourse, Veronica (Winona Ryder) makes herself the school's new alpha dog and chats with neck-braced Martha Dumptruck (Carrie Lynn) as the screen fades to black.
But if Ryder had her way, that wouldn't be the last we saw of Veronica. READ FULL STORY
'Heathers': An oral history
"Do you think there's ever been another movie like Heathers?" Winona Ryder asks in her tiny, forever-a-kid voice, and then listens quietly. She's genuinely curious. Your brain races through the obvious choices. Mean Girls, Clueless, Jawbreaker—teen-girl comedies with a drop of caustic in their lip gloss. But in 25 years, no high school movie has ever come close to the bloodthirsty wit and sweet-faced nihilism of Heathers, the 1989 satire about an Ohio high school where suicide becomes a scrunchie-level fad. "I looove this movie—to the point where I talk about it like I'm not even in it," says Ryder. "If it's on TV, I watch it. I've probably seen it 50 times. Like, I can do it by heart."
She isn't the only one who feels that way; fans have turned the box office flop (total gross: $1.1 million) into a cult hit on home video and TV—and even into a tongue-in-cheek musical, now playing Off Broadway. But long before that, a 24-year-old video-store clerk named Daniel Waters had a brilliantly ludicrous idea: "What if Stanley Kubrick made a teen film?" READ FULL STORY
'Homefront' trailer: Jason Statham goes head-to-head with James Franco, the meth dealer -- VIDEO
With Walter White out of the business, is James Franco taking the reins? Not exactly. However, in his new film Homefront, Franco plays a meth dealer who doesn't particularly like the new guy in town: Jason Statham.
In the film's trailer, we see what happens when Statham, who plays an undercover cop, moves his young daughter to the South on assignment. Here's a clue: An altercation between Statham's little girl and a school bully puts Statham on the radar of just about every meth-head in town. Those meth-heads are led by Franco and his wife, played by Kate Bosworth. A lot of broken bones follow (as well as at least one kidnapping). Winona Ryder also stars.
Watch the trailer for Homefront below:
'The Iceman' trailer: Michael Shannon shoots James Franco, plus Ray Liotta and Winona Ryder and so much more
After spending yet another season of Boardwalk Empire as a walking repressed tornado of coiled rage, Michael Shannon takes the lead in the upcoming true-life crime film The Iceman. He plays a hitman with exceptional '70s facial hair, and to judge by the trailer, he's flanked by one of the greatest random casts ever assembled. Winona Ryder as The Wife! Ray Liotta as The Mob Boss! James Franco, mewling like Troy-era Orlando Bloom! And even a very special, completely unrecognizable appearance by a certain big-screen superhero. Watch the trailer and bask: READ FULL STORY
Fantastic Fest opening night: World premiere of 'Frankenweenie,' bitches everywhere
On Thursday night in Austin, Tex., Alamo Drafthouse founder Tim League welcomed a most enthusiastic audience — "one big pile of nerds," as the always-exuberant tuxedoed host put it — to the eighth annual Fantastic Fest. The largest genre festival in the United States is geek heaven for horror, sci-fi, and to-the-guts weird film lovers. "The nerds have conquered the universe," declared League. "This is our world now!"
Fantastic Fest's opening-night film was the world premiere of Tim Burton's Frankenweenie, the wistful story of Victor, a grieving boy who figures out a way to bring his beloved dog back to life. The stop-motion animation 3-D film was simulcast in the Alamo Drafthouse Lamar's five theaters, with one of them dedicated exclusively to dressed-to-the-nines locals and their similarly attired dogs. Alamo Drafthouse is famous for its delightfully rigid stance against talking, texting, and cellphone use during movies. Last night the theater premiered its first ever "Don't Bark" PSA. Nerdy and adorable! READ FULL STORY

The plug hole
There's something
about the plug hole,
that vital inner place,
while everything
plaintively dies,
the plug hole,
this place is absolutely
everyone's at some moment in time,
I mean - it's sucked away - away,
and so dry on the high street
of furtive eyes,
trying to shake out some idea,
that the clock is turning back,
or that love is here and finally
yes, the mind squats close to
the plug hole,
trying not to feel the vital
force -
of gravity pulling on it,
not I! not this, not yet!
but off course, there is courage,
for you to scream out still,
ah! love, when did you ever love
anybody or everybody, anything,
all at once,
the word spun from your very lips
and skimmed through the air,
without resound or rebound,
fell empty among a horde
of weary feet,
I caught the face, the look,
of another's self torture,
but didn't feel it!
inabilities to feel,
is what I feel i must have,
long range pursuit to the end
of my years,
and of course - the plug hole,
will be our equality,
when it's all over...
