"The message was clear [in 1996] that the welfare programs were entrapping people, demoralizing recipients, and that this was bad for them, not just bad for the U.S. Treasury, but bad for the recipients themselves," Sessions says. "What we need to do now is to ask ourselves: 'Have we drifted back into dependency mode?' The answer is yes. And can we lift ourselves out again? Yes."The way to "lift ourselves out of dependency mode" is, of course, to cut all the programs that poor people depend on, the effects of which Sessions is exaggerating to a degree that might be hilarious if the stakes weren't so high. Now, if you look at the actual outcome of welfare reform, what "lifting ourselves out of dependency mode" meant was, in fact, more families falling into deep poverty:
In 1995, Aid to Families with Dependent Children lifted out of deep poverty 72 percent of the children who otherwise would have been in households earning below half the federal poverty line. By 2005, AFDC's successor, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, lifted just 21 percent out of deep poverty.People got kicked off the welfare rolls, and states declared it a success. But the number of families with children living in deep poverty soared. Forget all that, though. Jeff Sessions says that blaming poverty and unemployment on Democratic policies is "a better message than 'We're cutting welfare simply because we want to save money.'" In fact, Sessions says, "It's the right message." Okay, it likely is a better message for Republican electoral chances than "let them starve," but is is the right policy?
With cash assistance having been cut to the bone in 1996, what we're talking about now when we talk about the safety net is food stamps (which Sessions has argued in favor of cutting, also on moral grounds) and Medicaid and health care for kids and heating assistance and so on. And for all Sessions' talk of people being entrapped and dependent, remember that an awful lot of people who live in or close to poverty and rely on food stamps and other government assistance programs do have jobs, many of them working full-time. When Sessions argues against all this dependency, he's talking about the workers, not about the companies that employ them, but the fact is that Walmart and McDonald's and a whole lot of other huge, profitable corporations are dependent on taxpayer dollars to make up the difference between what they pay and what their workers actually need to feed themselves and get even the most rudimentary medical care. When someone working as many hours as they can get at Walmart goes on food stamps, taxpayers are in effect helping the company out with payroll, whether or not they ever even shop at Walmart.
Sessions says that, to shift the blame and build support for slashing the safety net, Republicans should tell the people affected that "'We know why you're having a hard time getting a pay raise. We know why your raises are falling behind the inflation rate. And the reason is that we've got flawed economic leadership.'" Well, no argument on the flawed economic leadership, but as for why people are having a hard time getting a raise or are falling behind inflation, the minimum wage hasn't gone up since 2009—a pretty damn direct explanation for why many people's nonexistent raises are falling behind the inflation rate—and more than 13 million people would get a raise if Congress voted to increase the minimum wage to $9.00 an hour. And it's Sessions' own party, the Republican party, standing in the way of increasing the minimum wage. That's not government spending, it's not dependency, it's making it so that a full-time job pays enough to lift a family of two out of poverty. But that very anti-dependency policy doesn't factor in the big moral case against Democratic economic policies project Sessions is embarking on—because it's just another Republican attempt to trick voters into embracing the same old policies they've long rejected.
If Jeff Sessions is serious about reducing dependency on government assistance, raising the minimum wage would be a great way to go. Sessions isn't serious about that, but tell Congress to pass President Obama's proposed increase to the minimum wage anyway.

Youths Hop into Swing With Beantown Orchestra
By Rosemary Ford, The Eagle-Tribune, North Andover, Mass.
Jul. 10–They're young, they're hip and they know how to rock — to the music of Benny Goodman.
The Beantown Swing Orchestra, 18 musicians with the average age of 23, will headline a concert to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the St. Basil Salvatorian Center in Methuen.
The center hosts religious retreats, Pre-Cana classes for engaged Catholic couples, and Cursillo — a short course on Christianity. In booking Beantown, Teresa Drelick of Methuen — who organized many of the 40th anniversary celebration activities — wanted to bring in a band that would appeal to people of all ages.
"We decided we wanted to celebrate it in a way that opened St. Basil's up to everybody," Drelick said. "The people who know St. Basil's love St. Basil's, but there are people in Methuen who don't know what St. Basil's is."
The concert is one way to open the celebration to those people, she said.
Band Manager Frank Hsieh formed the Swing Orchestra two years ago, posting a call for musicians online. He quickly found a rotation of 60 performers, most students or graduates of Boston's famed schools, Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory, to play with the 18-piece band.
"I wanted to introduce this music to younger people," said Hsieh, 37. "The only way to keep this music alive is to have younger people into it."
The group plays standards of the Lindy Hop era — the music their grandparents and great-grandparents grew up on. Hsieh says that the band's youth makes it special. The energy the musicians infuse into the music is like seeing a band from that era when Swing was the Rock 'n' Roll of its day.
"It's like classical music," Hsieh said, "but we have the energy to make it hip."
So the far the band has had luck hosting dances that attract people from seniors in high school to senior citizens. They're latest claim to fame is a spot in the September movie "My Best Friend's Girl," starring Kate Hudson and Dane Cook. The Beantown Swing Orchestra plays a wedding band in the film — a role it often occupies off camera, too.
The casting director for the movie found the band the same way Drelick did — on the Internet. The Salvatorian Center rented a stage sound and lights for this concert, which Drelick hopes will bring out the families.
"It's a nice way to end a weekend," she said, adding there will be a raffle including sports memorabilia. "We really just want people to come up and enjoy it."

"Stormtrooper in Drag" is the debut single by Paul Gardiner, better known as the bass-player for Tubeway Army and Gary Numan. Though released under Gardiner's name alone in 1981, the song is often credited to Gary Numan, and appears on a number of his collections. Numan not only played on and produced the recording but also co-composed and sang lead vocals. It was published by Numan Music and released by Numan's then-current label, Beggars Banquet.
The track was the first product released by Numan, or any of the former members of his backing band, following his 'farewell' concerts at Wembley Arena in April 1981. It also marked the first time in their four years of working together that the friends and former Tubeway Army bandmates had collaborated in the writing of a published song. The result was a departure from the electropop sound that had been Numan's trademark, featuring a vocal performance and sonic textures that foreshadowed his next album, Dance. Gardiner and Numan were credited with guitar and bass, respectively, contrary to their usual practice; both also played synthesizers while Numan's half-brother, John Webb, played drums.
The B-side, "Night Talk", was another Gardiner/Numan co-composition which, unlike the A-side, would appear on Numan's September 1981 studio album, Dance. Whereas "Stormtrooper in Drag" featured conventional percussion, "Night Talk" made extensive use of a drum machine, the Linn LM-1. Both songs referenced drugs, the former describing "needles in arms", the latter concerning a man dealing with a lover who is an addict (Gardiner was himself a heroin user, while Numan always claimed abstinence from drugs).
The single made #49 in the UK charts in 1981. The 12" cut was a promo-only version on white vinyl; its tracks, their mixes and durations, were identical to the 7" single.
"Stormtrooper in Drag" is included on numerous Gary Numan albums including the CD reissue of Dance and the compilations Exhibition (1983) and Premier Hits (1996). A live version appears on his album Dark Light (1995); this was recorded in 1994, the tenth anniversary of Gardiner's death (Numan also played live the B-side, "Night Talk", as a 20th anniversary memorial in 2004). It was covered by Saint Etienne for the Numan tribute album Random (1997); this version also appeared on their album Continental. Terre Thaemlitz recorded a piano version on the tribute album Replicas Rubato (1999).

Mitsubishi Diamondcrysta RDT233WX Passive 3D Monitor With IPS Panel
Mitsubishi just announced a 23â?³ Full HD 3D monitor with IPS panel and LED backlight that uses passive polarization and passive 3D glasses, just like with the new LG Cinema 3D monitors, expected to be available in Japan starting May 30th. The monitor is with a native resolution of 1920Ã?1080 pixels, 3.8ms response time (Gray-to-Gray) and maximum brightness level of 250cd/m2 in 2D mode and 100cd/m2 in 3D, the contrast ratio is 1000:1 standard and up to 5000:1 dynamic. The Mitsubishi RDT233WX-3D monitor comes with two HDMI 1.4 ports, one DVI-D and DSUB 15 VGA connector, there is also a one D5 connector (component input used in Japan for different AV devices). The presence of the D-Terminal or D-tanshi analog video connector on this display probably means that it will be available only in Japan, so don't get your hopes too high in getting the product in Europe or North America yet.
Thanks to the IPS panel used in this 3D display the viewing angles in 2D mode should be up to 178°, however when you put on the passive polarized glassed the vertical angle gets significantly reduced up to about 12° for best results in 3D mode. Due to the use of passive polarization approach in 3D mode you will be getting just half of the horizontal lines (vertical resolution) per eye, meaning 1920�540 pixels per eye, this is something that you should be well aware of as it is not the same as perceiving two full 1920�1080 frames. Also with this display, the maximum refresh rate you can use is 60Hz and not the 120Hz refresh that you can get in 2D mode with 3D LCD monitors using active shutter glasses.
Thanks to the HDMI 1.4 interface you should be able to use the monitor with consumer electronic devices supporting 3D like the PlayStation 3 console, however I'm not too sure how good games will look like on it as the PS3 outputs 720p 3D resolution and that means 1280Ã?360 resolution per eyeâ?¦ I still haven't seen PS3 on a display with passive polarization in 3D, but PC games in that resolution are not looking too good. Mitsubishi does not mention anything about bundling of middleware for playing PC games in stereo 3D mode, apparently they target this display mostly for multimedia use. However thanks to the use of passive polarization technology you should not have trouble using the display with the iZ3D Driver or with DDD's TriDef Software as they both support this kind of output for gaming in stereo 3D mode on the PC.

Buy cheap suits from MensUSA if you are looking to save your hard earned money and enjoy good quality suits. Buying cheaper stuffs always makes us to go behind discount sales, yearend sales and seasonal clearance sales but how far this is useful to us is the big question that needs to be answered. If we keep running behind cheap stuffs, it means that you are ready to lose the quality and look of the stuff. Anything that is of low quality will be cheap and merchants will aim to sell their old stocks through cheap discount sales. Sales people would want to get off with their stocks as soon as possible with profit and hence increase the sales price tag. They will then place a discount tag over it and sell the product for its original price and make people feel that the original price of the product has been discounted. By this method of sales, the businessmen will enjoy easy sales of their product and enjoy profit at the same time. Customers will feel satisfied for the price cut but won't recognize that they have not gained anything in the process.
If you want to buy cheap suits and save your money, it is a good choice to take a look at our suits and tuxedos. Everything that we have at MensUSA is of high quality and Italian made so that you don't get to have any low quality products at any cost. Since we make up pay only for the quality of the product and nothing extra for the brand name, we are able to supply designer grade suits and other suit varieties at a rate that is comparatively cheaper than anywhere else. You will be able to find the same kind of suit from a branded showroom but for a higher price.

|B's finally getting some good health news
|01.05.09 at 5:15 pm ET
In a much-needed reprieve from the war of attrition that's been going on with the Bruins' squad over the last month, B's coach Claude Julien and his team needed some good news in the health department — and got it at this morning's practice in Wilmington.
Andrew Ference took part in the hour plus practice at Ristuccia Arena — though he skated off early for "precautionary reasons" — and was among the healthy-enough-to-skate B's players that heard Julien's booming voice screaming during the intense morning of drills. Ward didn't skate at practice with the team, but Julien deemed that his charley horse situation is improving dramatically.
The "mild" charley horse knocked the 35-year-old out of Saturday's loss in the second period, and Ward will be a game time decision for tomorrow night's tilt against the trap-happy Minnesota Wild. Granted Marco Sturm is likely gone for the season with left knee surgery and there's no timetable for Patrice Bergeron's road back from his concussion, but things are starting to look up for the band-aid B's.
"He's doing a lot better," said Julien of Ward. "His motion and range today was pretty good. He's going to skate with us tomorrow and we'll see how he does."
Ference, out since mid-November following surgery to repair a fractured tibia incurred after blocking a shot during a penalty kill situation, continues to work ahead of schedule and should be back playing in real games over the next week. Tomorrow is a longshot, but nontheless healthy bodies are beginning to fill up the dressing room. Julien was asked if he could presumably go from having six healthy defenseman to a choice of eight living, breathing, healthy bodies for tomorrow night's game, and the B's bench boss didn't rule out the possibility.
"Ference is still day-to-day and he's been put through some battle drills today [in practice] so we'll see how he fares tomorrow," said Julien, of a Tuesday morning skate that will portend whether Ward or Ference return to the lineup against the Wild. "There's a possibility that we'll look at Ward tomorrow and Ference is practicing with us and day-to-day. We're kind of on the bubble with that.
There's still some question marks that will be answered tomorrow morning, but we could be [anywhere] from 8 to 6 tomorrow very easily," added Julien.
All-Star Snub Reaction
Bruins players selected for the Eastern Conference All-Star team will find out Thursday around noontime when the NHL announces the reserve players for the Jan. 25 NHL showpiece event. The B's didn't have a single player voted into the Eastern Conference starting lineup — a group filled solely with Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadiens players — announced over the weekend, and goaltender Tim Thomas felt like it might be a case of too many good Bruins to choose from. Or perhaps not enough tech-savvy, prospering cheaters among the B's fan base.
Just taking Thomas' case, it's a tough decision to choose between Thomas and fellow veteran goaltender Manny Fernandez. Both goaltenders have worked together in seamless fashion to become the best goaltending duo in the NHL this season. Thomas and Fernandez, Marc Savard, Zdeno Chara and Phil Kessel are all certainly deserving of All-Star recognition, and it's a safe bet that at least two of them will be invited to participate in Montreal's All-Star weekend three weeks from now.
"I hadn't thought about it," said a clearly amused Thomas. "Obviously it was fan voting, so it was unrealistic. The other angle to look at is that this team is so good that it makes it really hard to choose [individual players]. Obviously [the fan voting] was Pittsburgh computer programmers versus Montreal computer programmers. It's tough to make choices when you could pick so many good players, or you could be like Pittsburgh and Montreal and pick your whole team."
|Sounds of the game… Sabres 4, Bruins 2
|01.03.09 at 3:05 pm ET
For the first time since Dec. 10, the Bruins tasted defeat on Saturday, snapping a remarkable 10-game run of success. And for the first time since Oct. 23, they lost at home, a 14-game string of victory. How long ago was that? The Red Sox had just lost Game 7 of the ALCS to Tampa Bay four days earlier. Afterward, every Bruin to a man talked about facing adversity and how they plan to learn from this loss. Perhaps Milan Lucic said it best when he said that "good teams don't lose two in a row and we have to be hungry come our next game." That will be the focus when they continue their six-game homestand against Minnesota on Tuesday night. But for now, we look back on a game with the help of coach Claude Julien, who introduced a new term into the lexicon of the Boston sports fan. "We needed some JAM and this was one of those games where you need a little bit more JAM." JAM is apparently hockey-talk for juice, energy and desire.
Julien said Saturday wasn't Boston's best effort.
Julien said Buffalo earned the win.
Milan Lucic said the Bruins will be hungry to start a new streak.
Marc Savard on the winning streaks coming to an end.
|Ryder is happy to be out of hockey jail
|01.02.09 at 5:29 pm ET
The telltale signs are all there that Michael Ryder has long since removed the bitter sting of last season's regrets from his mind. The 28-year-old seemed to take a year-long lap of misery around Montreal coach Guy Carbonneau's dog house while alternating between the bench and miscast roles for a gifted scorer on the Canadiens' third and fourth lines.
Ryder's well-chronicled struggles led to a career-low 14 goals and painful splinters on the pine for much of last season's Stanley Cup playoff run by the Habs. The phrase rock-bottom comes readily to mind, but his lap of discontent at the Bell Centre essentially seems like it was a million hockey years ago now.
With a hope that all his troubles would be left behind in Quebec, Ryder inked a three-year, $12 million deal with the Bruins last summer but the jury was out after the first month of the season.
Ryder was standing strong along the wall and utilizing his wiry 6-foot, 192-pound frame while adhering to a strong, responsible brand of two-way hockey, but let's be completely honest here. The 1998 8th round pick of the Habs had scored only three goals through Nov. 26 and critics had stepped forth to question both the signing and Ryder's desire to finish off scoring plays.
Then Ryder tallied a pair of goals in the traditional afternoon game on the day after Thanksgiving and completely took off on a lamp-lighting tear during the merry, merry month of December. A grand total of nine markers during the 13 Bruins games played in December signaled a goal-scoring bonanza, and Ryder has become an integral part of the Ryder/David Krejci/Blake Wheeler troika that's been left intact while B's coach Claude Julien tinkers with the other two top skating lines.
"I was definitely getting the chances at the time and it wasn't going in," said Ryder of his struggles early in the season. "I definitely don't have any ready answers. I just tried to keep working hard and shooting the puck, and said that eventually it will start going in.
"Maybe I was trying to pick my spots a little too much and trying to be a little too fine," added Ryder. "Once I got on a roll with Krejci and Wheeler as a line, though, things really started working out well."
One of the keys to Ryder's success? A short memory. Ryder is done wondering whether Carbonneau had benched him for lack of production, a personality clash or some other perceived misdeed that Montreal's bench boss never bothered to pass along to the scuffling player at any time last year.
"Last year was a tough year and I honestly don't even want to think about it any more," said Ryder. "I'm just trying to fit in here and it hasn't been that hard. That's for sure. It's always easy when you're playing. That's the main thing: I wanted to play and help the team.
"I don't even think about [the last year in Montreal] because I have a job to do here," added Ryder. "Everybody goes through tough times and people have been there in their careers before. We just need to keep our mind on what we're doing here and keep our foot on the gas pedal."
Ryder has packed away the unfulfilled expectations and bitter residue left over from his time donning the Habs sweater in Montreal, and is instead simply focused on the task at hand in the Hub. It's something that's allowed a quiet, efficient concentration on taking pucks hard to the net and unloading his unfairly quick snap shot on unsuspecting goaltenders all over the NHL.
This year the team success has melded with Ryder's individual production, and for all intents and purposes the B's and Claude Julien have allowed the two-time 30 goal scorer to escape from the depths of hockey jail deep in the heart of Canada. He's on pace to pot 30 goals again this season while riding shotgun with Krejci and Wheeler, and that's exactly what GM Peter Chiarelli had in mind when he bagged the free agent.
Julien has seen a return of the skilled shooter that could reel off two or three goals in a game and has always had the knack for potting the right score at the right time — a trait attested by his NHL-best seven game-winning daggers thus far this season.
"I hope he's enjoying his season a little better…he's on a team that's winning a lot of hockey games," said Julien. "When you lead the league in game-winning goals that has to be a lot of fun to be leading with that stat. I think he's found a pretty comfortable niche here where he's enjoying himself with the guys and the guys appreciate him as well.
"He's been a good fit for us," added Julien. "Even though he got off to a bit of a slow start in the goal-scoring area, he made up for it with a lot of things. Now he's found his scoring touch and he's scoring goals, and there's no doubt that has to be a lot more fun than being a healthy scratch some nights."
|The B's will be rockin' on Sunday
|at 4:46 pm ET
WIth the Annual Boston Bruins wives carnival coming up this weekend, here's an interview with Bruins defenseman Aaron Ward and his wife Kelly on Fox 25 News this morning. Ward and the rest of his teammates will be manning different event stations at the carnival, and a quintet of B's including Blake Wheeler and Milan Luci will be playing in Rock Band 2 duels on the Wii against lucky fans.
Personally I'm more of a fan of Guitar Hero for the XBOX 360, but sounds like it should be a rockin' good time for all with B's — and the best part is that it's also for a great cause. My best advice: let the Looch win whenever he wants before he decides to lose his temper and do the rock star guitar-smashing thing on his axe at center stage.
Here's the release from the Bruins: On Sunday, Zdeno Chara, Phil Kessel, Milan Lucic, Marc Savard, Tim Thomas, Blake Wheeler and the entire Boston Bruins 2008-09 roster will be participating in the 19th Annual Boston Bruins' Wives Charity Carnival, presented by Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center at TD Banknorth Garden in Boston. The carnival is broken down in to three sessions from 11:00 – 12:00, 12:00 – 2:00 and 3:00 – 5:00. All sessions are open to the media and the players will be available for interviews throughout the day.
During each session fans will have the opportunity to get autographs and take photos with their favorite Bruins players, as well as play a variety of games which include P.J. Axelsson in ping-pong, David Krejci and Michael Ryder in knock hockey, Dennis Wideman in Nintendo Wii tennis, Andrew Ference in Xbox games. They can also join head coach Claude Julien for a tour of the team's locker room.
In addition, during the General Admission Session of the Carnival from 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. is a special Rock Band 2 video game competition. Throughout the session, fans will play head-to-head with Blake Wheeler while special guest judges from Harmonix – the creators of Rock Band – evaluate the participants based on technical ability (accuracy) and performance (enthusiasm). The best players will be selected to move on to compete against the Bruins Band in the Rock Band 2 finale at 5:00 p.m. on stage at center ice.
The Bruins Band consists of Mark Stuart on vocals, Blake Wheeler on drums, Milan Lucic on lead guitar and Matt Lashoff on bass. The Bruins Band is expected to perform Pearl Jam's hit song "Alive."
The Bruins and Harmonix will be giving away a special prize to the top performer of the competition: a full Rock Band 2 retail bundle for the Nintendo Wii system autographed by the Bruins players.
This year's carnival proceeds will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the leading organization in the United States devoted to Cystic Fibrosis.

|Sounds of the game… Bruins 4, Penguins 2
|at 8:25 am ET
In team sports, when you hear something hasn't been done since 1929, one of two things has happened. Either a team is on a historically bad run and is about to get its coach fired. Or a team is blowing away its competition. Well of course, this is Boston, home of the 19-game winning streak in basketball and now the Boston Bruins are trying to equal their Garden co-tenants. And so far, they're doing a pretty good job of it. Thursday night, the Bruins opened the New Year by turning away Sidney Crosby and the defending Eastern Conference champion Pittsburgh Penguins, 4-2, on Causeway Street.
Some nuggets about these men of Black and Gold… The Bruins extended their home win streak to 14 games, their longest since a 16-game run from Jan. 10-Mar. 25, 1976. It's the longest in the NHL this season and the fifth-longest behind streaks of 20, 19, 16 and 15 games. '¦ The Bruins 10-game winning streak is the longest since a 10-game streak in the 1972-73 season. '¦ The Bruins drew a crowd of 17,565, their eighth sellout of the season, fourth straight and sixth in seven home games. Boston sports fans always could spot a winner. Let's hear from them.
Coach Claude Julien said the team is doing a good job with its game-to-game focus.
Julien explains putting Milan Lucic on the third line, producing two goals in his last two games.
Julien said Thursday was just another good, solid win.
Marc Savard said the team isn't looking at chasing records or its own NHL-best 62 points.
Milan Lucic said winning 10 straight has been no accident.
Lucic said the Bruins are not taking the winning for granted.
Captain Zdeno Chara said the winning makes playing fun right now.
|Bruins back to basics for 10th straight win
|01.01.09 at 9:55 pm ET
If the Boston Bruins aren't too careful they're going to start entering exalted hockey territory here in the city of Boston. With their tenth win in row last night, by a 4-2 score over the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Boston Bruins have matched the 1971 Bobby Orr-led, Stanley Cup Champion-era B's in terms of a regular season win streak. For nearly everyone involved with the team, it's the most impressive regular season that they've enjoyed in the NHL and something they're not at all taking for granted.
"I'd have to go all the way back to my last year of junior hockey, I think," said B's defenseman Dennis Wideman, when asked the last time he's been on a team that won 10 games in a row. "I think I've been on some [NHL] teams that have lost 10 in a row, and this definitely feels a lot better."
With the home-and-home sweep of the still-dangerous Pens, the Bruins have seized sole ownership of the point lead in the NHL while continuing to put distance between themselves and the wild packs of Rangers, Capitals and Canadiens roaming in the Eastern Conference.
Almost as amazing is the fact that the current 10-game stretch has A) taken place while the B's were admittedly not playing as well as they have through much of the season B) transpired largely during a long road swing sandwiched around the holiday break and C) overshadowed a simultaneous 14-game home winning streak before burgeoning crowds at the Garden.
Dressing room leader Aaron Ward said that the B's have realized the error of their ways during the tough stretches of the streaks, and corrected things to again get to the type of Bruins hockey that put them in first place to begin with.
"[We] preach in this locker room that the whole season is a marathon. You can play one month and you understand if you are going to lead long enough that there will be some highs and some lows; capitalize on your highs," said Ward. "We started to fall off, the minute we step into this locker room we knew in the last five or six games that the effort wasn't there. We were going into games and you start to get complacent and you figure that well your skill will just take care or it or it will just work itself out.
"The National Hockey League doesn't work itself out. You got to match your opponents' level of effort with level of emotions and we lacked both. Sometimes both, sometimes one, you just can't have your nights off we had creeping into our game.
The B's crowds traditionally become livelier and more plentiful after Jan. 1, and the Patriots' rare regular season exit insures that the Garden will be rockin' straight through the rest of the season. The love affair between the sellout crowds and the gritty, hard-hitting hockey team should only continue as Black and Gold skaters like vladimir Sobotka put third period exclamation points like this one last night.
With that mid-ice big boom in mind, here' s a few things that stuck out from last night's impressive victory over a motivated Penguins team:
Big Z in shutdown mode
One of the biggest observations/factors during the back-to-back wins over the Penguins was the outstanding defensive shutdown work executed by Zdeno Chara and Aaron Ward on Pittsburgh center Evgeni Malkin's line over the course of two games. In the home-and-home matchup, the jumbo-sized and ridiculously-skilled Malkin was held to a -2 and managed only a single assist in last night's loss after coach Claude Julien sicked a frothy Chara on the Penguins' scorer as much as possible.
"I think [Chara] actually loves it," said Julien. "He's taken a lot of pride in doing it and I think he is being recognized, more and more, for being able to do those things. Not every team, and not too many teams, have those kind of defensemen and can match them against top players and be capable of shutting them down night after night."
Chara has always prided himself on being the tall, tough, intimidating defensive stopper at the blue line and — after a slow first month — seems to have again reached that elite level of defenseman play that few can match around the NHL.
As impressive as Big Z was, however, perhaps Ward was even more so in his first two games back from an ankle injury that hampered him throughout December. Ward managed to keep himself in some semblance of shape while healing up and came up big last night with his specialty — a cringe-inducing, surely painful blocked shot in the waning minutes of the third period on Pittsburgh's final power play — to help secure the big victory for the Bruins.
It was exactly the kind of thing that the B's have missed while he was out, despite the best efforts of guys like Dennis Wideman and Matt Hunwick to step up.
"You have to give credit to Aaron Ward, who nobody talks about, he did a good job with Z back there and near the end there he made a big block, blocked a big shot," said Julien. "Those kind of things can kind of go unnoticed."
Extra bonus points to the aforementioned pairing of Hunwick and Wideman, who likewise managed to clamp down the defensive vice grips on Sidney Crosby's line as well. Sid the Kid managed a single measly assist in Tuesday night's loss at the Igloo, and was a -3 in the two-game sweep. There were many moments during last night's win when the purported best hockey player in the world was invisible. Credit the Bruins' defense for pulling off the nearly impossible NHL magic trick: making the two-man gang of both Crosby and Malkin disappear into the thin wintry air.
Back in the Scoresheet Saddle
It might be time for Bruins Nation to get used to the current line pairings that have P.J. Axelsson spending time on the first power play unit because Julien has liked what he's seen over the last two games. Axelsson has helped spark the first line and scored his first non-empty net goal of the season — along with an assist –in last night's win and totaled a pair of helpers in Tuesday night's win in Pittsburgh.
"I was looking for a response from lines," said Julien. "I know people keep asking about Lucic, well, yeah Lucic and Savard and Kessel, I thought weren't playing as well as they could and neither was the Yelle, Axelsson and Kobasew line. And I was kind of talking about all six of those guys, three of them on units."
"I didn't think they were generating much, so with Looch, with that hard-working line, I think it certainly helped him find his identity again, as far as being a grinder and being a grinder doesn't stop you from scoring as you could see tonight," added Julien. "[Lucic and Axelsson] have brought something different to both those lines that, not just made them successful [as individuals], but also made those lines better, as well."
Julien believes that Axelsson has added a certain Je Ne Cest Q'uoi to the games of both Marc Savard (2 goals, 3 assists and a +2 in two games) and Phil Kessel (1 goal and 13 shots on net in two games) while Milan Lucic has blended right in with the hard-working, lunch pail games of third liners Chuck Kobasew and Stephane Yelle. Looch has also potted a pair of goals since the much-publicized move down to the third line. Julien said that the swap wasn't designed to simply get Lucic and Axelsson going as much as it was supposed to breath life in both lines.
Mission accomplished.
"I think obviously things weren't going my way," said Lucic. "I just want to get back to doing simple things and it paid off today with the goal. Like I said we just have to keep getting better.
"I think everyone is comfortable playing with anyone. We are just going out there and focusing on what we have to do, sticking to the game plan," added Lucic. "It is not by accident that we have won ten straight. The little things that we do we got away from a little bit. I think this home and home against the Penguins was good for us to get back to working hard and doing the simple things."
So don't expect any big line shake-ups in the near future with things again appearing to gel in Coach Julien's neighborhood. Count me among the people that scratched their heads when Axelsson was moved to the top scoring line and the number one power play unit, but the B's bench boss has once again proven he knows a lot more about the frozen puck game than yours truly.
The Beat Goes On
With all of the success that the Bruins have enjoyed thus far this season, there has been plenty of streaking that hasn't involved Frank the Tank in the least. While the biggest slice of the attention pie is given to the current team winning streak or the 14-straight wins on the Garden's frozen sheet, magic man center David Krejci is also riding a 10-game point streak after potting a goal in the first period of last night's win.
Perhaps Krejci is a big Christmas fan because he's gone supersonic with the puck over the last month, notching 7 goals and 15 assists in 14 games during the merry, merry month. While Julien has reconfigured each of the other two lines, the veteran coach has smartly left the trio of Krejci, Blake Wheeler and Michael Ryder together as they continue to produce offense and responsible defense on a nightly basis.
|Bergeron's agent: His first concussion wasn't necessarily a contributing factor
|12.29.08 at 10:11 pm ET
The bad news is that Patrice Bergeron is still battling the recurrent, nagging headaches that typically linger after suffering a concussion brought on by a violent NHL collision gone wrong. The two-way center is not going to be in the lineup when the Bruins and Penguins face off against each other at the TD Banknorth Garden on New Year's Day, and there's a strong possibility the calendar could be into February or March before he's again donning the Spoked B in an NHL game.
But…the 23-year-old center also received some encouraging news last week as well when he met with Bruins team physician Dr. Peter Asnis and noted Boston neurologist Dr. Robert Cantu. Cantu related to Bergeron that "99 percent" of NHL players would have similarly suffered a significant concussion in the manner of collision that saw the side of Bergeron's face smack into the unforgiving shoulder pads of Dennis Seidenberg with such violent force.
Cantu's statement was meant to assure Bergeron that his second concussion wasn't the sign of a player that's becoming more and more succeptible to head injuries and hockey dings — as players like Eric Lindros and Pat LaFontaine both became increasingly fragile when a career full of head hits began to take their toll. The concussion was instead simply another stroke of bad luck for a player chock full of the stuff over the last calendar year. Cantu's assessment of the hit and the damage done, according to Bergeron's agent Kent Hughes, was encouraging to Bergeron, who might have understandably feared that he could become another cautionary concussion tale in the NHL.
Here's a quick Q&A with Hughes, who gave an update that should put a little skip in the step of Bruins' fans hoping that Bergeron can make another heroic hockey return sooner rather than later. It seems — reading between the lines of what Hughes is saying here — that a six week absence might be a reasonable span of time if Bergeron continues to improve at his current rate, but that's still very much in question.
As Hughes correctly states, it's always uncertain when it comes to a timetable for the brain's healing process. So we'll wait and see. Here's Hughes:
How is Patrice doing? KH: He's doing well. This injury is not of the same severity as the last one that he suffered.
Is he still experiencing the headaches at this point, or are they starting to dissipate? KH:I just got back into town so I haven't checked in with him [Tuesday] on the symptoms, but the neurologist told him that the concussion he suffered the first time around was not necessarily the contributing factor in this one. [The neurologist said that] the hit that he took would have caused a concussion in 99 percent of the people that were on the receiving end whether they had previously been concussed or not.
That's good news…KH:As far as concussions go, most don't have a timeline in terms of recovery because it's really a question of the brain and how it responds. That's the experience I've had with all of my clients dealing with concussions, as well as with Patrice last year. It's something we really went back and forth with [Bergeron] last year. You typically wait for the person to be asymptomatic at rest for a period of time and then you introduce some physical activity. Then you see if the player has a relapse of any kind with the post-concussion symptoms. That process continues until the athlete can go through the whole course of physical activity without any relapse.
And the recovery seems to be very much on a case-by-case basis. KH: Yeah, and the other integral part is that there really isn't really any kind of time frame like with an ACL tear, whether it be a short or long. You know how badly you tear your knee and you know that you can potentially miss an entire season because of an injury.
The problem with the brain injury is that the majority of concussions don't show up on any kind of imaging. They really rely on how the brain responds. At the outset you could say it's a three-week injury, but it could be one week or it could be six weeks depending on the brain and the body and how they react to the physical activity. It could be six [weeks], or it could be longer.
The doctor believes that whether he'd suffered that previous concussion or not, he was very, very likely to suffer a concussion after the hit he took [against Carolina]. There are some guys you see that have been concussed so many times that the slightest hit dings them, or whatever. Patrice Bergeron is really a little bit of a victim here in that he's taken two really bad blows in a span of only about 30 games. It's a really physical sport, but it's not often you take two blows like that in such a short span [of games]. There are some [players] that, for lack of a better term, have softened and are susceptible and it might not take such strong blows to cause a concussion.
How is Patrice's state of mind as he's handling all of this a second time around? Is he angry? Frustrated? Is he encouraged by the news from the doctor? KH: Yeah. I was with him on Saturday and there was certainly a level of frustration with him because he was concerned about when he can go [and play]. I think there was also a level of enthusiasm after what he learned [from Cantu and Asnis].
I think the last time around there was a series of moments where he would improve steadily and then he would be down if he there was a setback. My guess is that this time around he'll be a bit more guarded in reacting to how the process is going, and just let the healing process take its course.

I am Fedor fan but I have to agree with Bonnar. He backs up his opinion with facts.
I am Fedor fan but I have to agree with Bonnar. He backs up his opinion with facts.
Well said Bear.
All MMA fans remember the Fedor of Pride, but since the demise of that league he has done nothing that would support his earlier claims of a pound for pound G.O.A.T.
Cant believe bonnar said rogers was a quality opponent
He didn't.
He said Rogers was the most talented fighter among awful opponents over the last five years.
I read in Ultimate MMA magazine that they are trying to put together a HWT tournament..not a one event tournament but over a few months. That would be interested. The article also discussed the possibility of having a Strikeforce VS Bellator event. I would love for that to happen.
I wonder if the overzealous fans still think
this is Zuffa's goons trying o discredit Fedor because he didn't sign with them

Movia Winery
Lying along the prime strip of land that adjoins the Italian and the Slovenian sides of the Collio, the Movia estate has been in existencesince the year 1700. It was purchased by the Kristancic family in 1820 and is currently run by the iconic Ales Kristancic. Growing up in the vineyards and winery on many a late evening and Saturday afternoon when he would have preferred to play soccer, the new moon rose and Ales dutifully helped his father transfer wines from barrel to barrel. Today he passionately implements the rigorous biodynamic principles handed down to him while simultaneously experimenting to produce wines of unprecedented purity and authenticity. His distinct vision stems from the wisdom of eight generations spent among the vines and in the cellar coupled with a natural intuition toward to relationship between nature, soil, vines, and wine.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.
