On the occasion of the recent revisions to existing programs at the Canada Council for the Arts, Gaëtan Gosselin, President of the RAIQ and General Manager at Productions Recto-verso, addresses the artistic community to remind us of the extraordinary vitality of interdisciplinary practices, to share the deep concerns of the milieu, to emphasize the importance of the Canada Council's primary mandate, and to express the urgency to mobilize in favor of arts and professional artists from Quebec and Canada.
Lise Gagnon, Director
A message from the RAIQ to the Canada Council for the Arts and the Canadian arts community
Several months ago the Canada Council for the Arts launched an extensive review of its programs that has raised many concerns, notably in the inter- and multi- disciplinary arts fields.
In a document made public in October 2012, the Director and CEO of the Canada Council for the Arts voiced his opinion that " (...) the operating grant model that was so groundbreaking in the 1960s and 1970s is proving to be unsustainable today (...)." [1] Without any real argumentation, nor any firsthand data to support this thesis - other than the Council's budgetary stagnation - the CCA authorities have decided to set a consultation process into motion, the conclusions of which are both foregone and disappointing.
Foregone in the sense that according to the Council's opinion, the operating grant model constitutes the main problem to be solved; disappointing in the sense that the Canada Council for the Arts seems unable to rally the entire Canadian community around the recognition of its contribution and the improvement of its funding.
It is customary for institutional consultations to focus on goals that will lead to the improvement of the services and support provided for the arts community. It appears that the Council's approach seeks to solve its strategic powerlessness by weakening the ecology of many artistic fields on the basis of hypotheses that are making times difficult for us: broad budget cuts, shrinking of operating grants, reduction of project grants, program deterioration, service reduction, watering down of artistic merit. Seriously, are we dreaming or is this really happening!
We have good reason to be concerned about the approach of these consultations. Besides sparse macroscopic figures gleaned here and there, no data is put forth with regards to the financial situation of artists and organizations that work in the Canadian interdisciplinary arts field. No diagnostic of this artistic field's ecosystem and ecology has been advanced to enhance our forthcoming reflections with the CCA. This is particularly a concern for the Inter-Arts Office, whose broad mandate is to "support creative diversity and excellence in integrated arts, contemporary circus arts and artist and community collaborative arts in these fields."
Regarding this field of action, we believe that a profile and serious diagnostic would have enabled us to better understand the real issues involved in the support and recognition of interdisciplinary practices in Canada. The fact of gathering the "integrated arts," circus arts and community collaborative arts under the umbrella of a single program should in itself be the object of serious reflection: is it not strange that the expression "interdisciplinary art" is missing from the CCA program? It is after all the interdisciplinary arts that are at the origin of the Inter-Arts Office, and do they not continue to play a prominent role in the Canadian cultural landscape by working at the same time to create new contents and forge links with the public, artists and organizations so as to redefine, vitalize and develop new forms of contemporary art?
It is no longer possible to associate Canadian interdisciplinary artists with art forms that are foreign to them, such as the circus arts, cultural mediation or recreational arts. It is imperative to create a sector and targeted programs for interdisciplinary arts within the Canada Council for the Arts. This is an essential request. Artists and organizations that work in the interdisciplinary arts field deserve support and recognition from the Canada Council for the Arts that correspond to their specificity, professionalism and merit.
The interdisciplinary arts are a truly vigorous artistic practice in Canada, and its foundations and forms of expression are both historical and very current. Artists, artist groups and organizations produce works that they disseminate, animate, spread and document throughout Canada. All this makes up a vital artistic reality and milieu that justifies and calls for a strong interdisciplinary presence and vision within the Canada Council for the Arts.
Interdisciplinary arts practice is primordially based on interactive experiences, alliances and encounters with artistic cultures, the processes and results of which give rise to new forms that are often unclassifiable, indeterminate or uncategorizable. The community of artists and organizations that work in the field has forged its identity through these productions and actions; it forms a sturdy, proud and distinctive community.
For example, in Quebec, artists such as Diane Landry, Alexandre Burton, Robert Faguy, Line Nault, Gilles Arteau, James Partaik, Claudie Gagnon, Sylvie Cotton, Guy Laramée, Alexis O'Hara, Victoria Stanton, Simon Drouin, Richard Gagnon, Laurence Brunelle Côté, Julien Maire, Carole Nadeau, Julie Andrée T., Dulcinée Langfelder, D. Kimm, Alain-Martin Richard, Nathalie Derome, Michel Lemieux, Émile Morin, Stéphane Gladyszewski, Daniel Danis, Christian Lapointe, Victor Pilon, Bruno Bouchard, Daniel Barrow, Isabelle Choinière, Pierre Allard, Éric Létourneau, Aaron Pollard, Jocelyn Robert, Annie Roy, Martin Messier, Caroline Ross, Doyon/Demers, and Françoise Sullivan ..., are part of the interdisciplinary arts peer community.
Of course, there are also many production companies and presenters who are active in the Quebecois interdisciplinary arts field: 2boys.tv, Lemieux Pilon 4D Art, Agence Topo, ATSA, DARE-DARE, Dulcinée Langfelder, Les Filles électriques, Kondition Pluriel, PME-ART, OFFTA, Des mots d'la dynamite, Folie/Culture, Productions Rhizome, Les Productions Recto-Verso, Studio 303, Théâtre La Chapelle, le Bureau de l'APA, L'Orchestre d'Hommes-orchestres, Mobile Home, 14 lieux and Audiotopie, to name but these.
In an historical and international perspective, artists such as Edgar Varèse, Pierre Henry, John Cage, Marcel Duchamp, Merce Cunningham, David Tudor, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Nam June Paik, Andy Warhol, Robert Filiou, Jean Cocteau, Joseph Beuys, Iannis Xénakis, Muntadas, Rebecca Horn, Christian Marclay, Alain Flescher, Laurie Anderson, Marina Abramovic, Krzysztof Wodiczko, Brian Eno, Michael Snow and Robert Lepage are among the pioneers and propagators of the interdisciplinary arts.
It should be clear by now that the interdisciplinary arts are present and prolific on a global scale. Nowadays, it exerts considerable influence in several artistic fields the world over. Many states and arts funding organizations have grant and subsidy programs intended for interdisciplinary creation, dissemination and touring. University faculties and research chairs now include inter-arts education programs. In many Canadian regions, interdisciplinary organizations are mobilizing, organizing and acting to promote the development of their sector. It is in this context that the CCA's commitment to support the funding and boosting of resources for the interdisciplinary arts must be upheld and reasserted.
The interdisciplinary arts are an artistic practice in their own right, one that is distinguishable among all the others, and it is erroneous to confuse it with mediation and social transaction practices, which primarily seek to support the well-being of the community through cultural experiences. In this regard, the Canada Council for the Arts must remain heedful of its mission and commitment to professional artists and organizations in the arts fields by supporting artistic practices without any restrictions, regardless of whether they emanate from the cultural industries, the commercial market or political correctness.
To this end, one must recall that the fundamental values upheld by the Canada Council for the Arts concerning freedom of artistic expression and support of artistic excellence, are anchored in a " (...) focusing on professional artistic activity by individuals and organizations, respecting artistic excellence as the primary criterion in providing grants, and relying on peer assessment as the best method for determining comparative merit in a national context." [2]
We would like to underline the importance we grant to the unique and fundamental mandate of the Council, which is based on the promotion, recognition and support that the organization has exercised for over fifty years to sustain the arts and artists in Canada.
We are vigorously highlighting the CCA's stance in favour of the arts and professional artists, because a currently fashionable view of "citizen culture" has undermined it by reactivating outdated and confusing notions about art and culture. In our opinion "citizen culture" is nothing but an ambient "in vogue" utopia that is eroding the very foundations of the Canada Council for the Arts.
We are compelled to emphasize that art is not culture; that artists generally prefer not to be subjugated by the imperatives of a cultural attraction... This is, of course, an illustration, but one which serves to remind us that art is a "singular" production in the cultural field (Dumont, 1987) and that its roots are historical and that it is nowadays based on an interplay of knowledge, complex techniques and know-how, which can be likened to other forms of production-whether they be scientific, technological or industrial.
To claim that advancements in digital media are "[...]giving people the cultural power previously monopolized by institutions and professionals endowed with cultural knowledge, resources and expertise" [3], is an argument that misrepresents and diminishes the efforts and competencies that underpin professional artists' work. In this matter, the time has come for the Canada Council for the Arts to refocus its mandate by solidifying its links with the Canadian professional artists community.
In Canada, the practice of the interdisciplinary arts requires that the CCA view the field in a broad perspective, a vision that could act as the foundation for serious and structured programs, improved funding resources for research, creation, production, dissemination and the documentation of artworks, in addition to providing a basis for management and attribution modes that can meet the demands of professional artists and artistic organizations.
This means that the interdisciplinary arts milieu expects the Canada Council for the Arts to fully recognize its contribution: artists and organizations expect measures that will finally put an end to economic hardship and precariousness; artists and organizations expect that the operating and project support programs will be maintained and bolstered in a sustainable manner, by ensuring the carrying through of linkages between research-creation/production-dissemination-propagation; artists and organizations expect to be appreciated for their merit by peer committees who have a thorough knowledge of interdisciplinary practices; artists and organizations expect the Canada Council for the Arts to engage in a cohesive action plan to implement basic structural conditions for the interdisciplinary arts in collaboration with other arts support bodies within the regional territories and provinces. Additionally, artists and organizations expect that resources be allocated for the dissemination and spreading of works throughout Canada and internationally; that measures to facilitate the operation of venues, and logistical and technological environments - corresponding to the needs of various projects - will be put in place; and that a vision guided by the recognition and development of the interdisciplinary arts will stimulate and encourage emerging artists and practices, making it possible to reach the growing public.
That being said, we subscribe to the Canada Council for the Art's objective to stimulate Canadians' interest and involvement in and with the arts. Interdisciplinary artists and organizations have been carrying out concrete and praiseworthy actions to develop the interest and involvement of the Canadian public. They do this in view of promoting a better understanding of artists and their practices, in view of fostering a better comprehension of their status, and in view of inciting individuals to discover and partake in their artistic world.
As many NGOs, among which the CIDA, have emphasized, any public engagement strategy requires "a long-term engagement and sustained resources." [4] In this context, we believe that it is essential and urgent that the CCA provide the interdisciplinary community with stimulating, realistic and favourable public engagement conditions for the public to discover the interdisciplinary arts, without, however, making this the sole condition of their merit.
We believe and are convinced that the inaugural mission of the Canada Council for the Arts must be preserved and reinforced, notably with regards to the interdisciplinary arts, and this by supporting an artistic expression rooted in research, innovation and professional quality, in addition to shielding it from the one-dimensional tentacles of mass culture or community-based transactions.
In an era in which dissemination and propagation platforms are proliferating and diversifying, and in which competition in the cultural field is becoming at once flashy and globalized, we must consolidate and improve the leverage of public funding for artistic content on a multi-year basis, rather than throwing in the towel by formulating glib theses such as "support for operating costs is no longer viable!" Considering the public's significant interest for these innovative artistic practices, the offerings of Canadian interdisciplinary arts must be promoted and revitalized, which in no way goes against a public-engagement action plan - corresponding as it does to the terms articulated by the CCA's Director and CEO. [5]
To conclude, following this pan-Canadian review, interdisciplinary artists and organizations expect the CCA to put forth a vision for the future that will be attentive to:
- the specificity and identity of the interdisciplinary arts field;
- the current needs of the interdisciplinary arts community with regards to a responsible financial management of artistic risk;
- the high level of quality of artistic competencies that prevail throughout Canada in the inter-arts field;
- the difficulties that interdisciplinary artists and organizations face with regards to emerging artistic practices, dissemination on a regional, national and international scale, the management of specialized places and milieus, and promotion and documentation;
- the considerable potential of the inter-arts sector and pressing needs with regards to residency programs, far-reaching events, cutting edge technology, site management, unconventional environments and specialized equipment, documentation, commissioning of works, grant support for touring (regional and international), market development, and diversified funding and financing;
- the openness and generosity that is a characteristic trait of the interdisciplinary community in its relations with the social fabric and people's everyday lives.
The interdisciplinary artists and organizations community is confident. We have taken a stance before the Canada Council for the Arts, the values and mandate of which stand as one of the few institutional bastions shielding us from artistic uniformity.
In addressing the Council, we believe that the task incumbent upon us is to mobilize the entire Canadian artistic community with regards to the immense service that the Canada Council for the Arts provides for all Canadians.

Cover Story Excerpt: A world of wind and ice
Hard work and harsh weather define winter fishing for pollock in the Bering Sea
By Abner Kingman
Steaming into a Northeast gale on the Bering Sea in February, the trawler American Beauty has built a thick layer of ice from the waterline to the highest antenna. "We're like a giant Popsicle," captain Kevin Ganley says over the radio to another captain. As the boat labors slowly up the face of the next wave he adds, "We're so heavy we're barely moving."
At 123 feet the Beauty is not large by Bering Sea standards, but tons of ice make her motion slow and ponderous, like a big ship. The 30-year-old, Marco-built vessel is in good shape, and 45 knots doesn't register as a breeze worth mentioning up here, but it's still not safe to carry so much weight up high.
Yesterday the Beauty unloaded 500,000 pounds of pollock in King Cove, a tiny fish-plant town on the Alaskan Peninsula, then cast off in a snowstorm to buck the seas for 15 hours on the way back up to the fishing grounds.
Inside, the Beauty is toasty warm, and the constant drone of the 1,800-hp Cat makes it easy to sleep. But after too many hours in their bunks everyone is getting impatient. At 2200 Ganley's three crew members have gathered in the wheelhouse to find out where we are. The plotter indicates that we are almost to the fishing grounds, but before they can set the net, the crew must clear the boat of ice.
The shock of stepping out into the cold is unpleasant no matter how many layers you are wearing. The first breath of frozen air burns your lungs, and deck boots slide on the sheer ice underfoot. The quartz and sodium-vapor lights are blazing and every bit of the boat is bright white, making it impossible to see into the night around us. We are isolated in our own world, facing the daunting task of smashing many thousands of pounds of ice while heaving in a 15-foot sea. Every rail, cable, cleat, and corner is caked in a six-inch meringue of white ice that looks deceptively soft and delicate.
The air temperature is below zero and the wind chill is minus 30. The ice is rock hard, so hard that striking it with a hickory ax handle sends a stinging vibration up your arm, all the way to your molars.
Bering Sea fishermen employ all sorts of weapons when they attack ice on their boats, but the ideal tool is a purpose-built mallet designed by Russ Trombley of Marine Service and Supply in Seattle. It's a 36-inch fiberglass shovel handle paired with a heavy plastic head that looks something like an oversized splitting maul, blunt on one side and wedge-shaped on the other. It has just the right mix of weight, shock absorption, and effectiveness to make smashing ice almost enjoyable.
The Center for Coastal Studies recently announced that Owen Nichols, Director of the Center for Coastal Studies' Marine Fisheries Research Program, has been selected as this year's recipient of the John Annala Fishery Leadership Award by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute.Read more ...

Rine's Week 1 NFL Picks
Thursday's Game
Denver 24, Baltimore 21
Oh, the horror. The NFL season begins with two of the quarterbacks most despised in my house, Joe Flacco and Peyton Manning. The Ravens may be the defending champs, but they're so well liked in their own town that the Orioles wouldn't even move their game in order for their football neighbors to be able to open at home. Can we crown the Broncos already? Kidding, of course.
Sunday's Games
Atlanta 23, New Orleans 17
It would be a pretty safe bet to take the over in this one because these two teams figure to be a couple of the more explosive ones in the league. Drew Brees and Matt Ryan could each surpass 5,000 passing yards this season. The difference will be Atlanta's offseason acquisition of RB Steven Jackson.
Chicago 26, Cincinnati 13
The word on the street is, that Cincinnati is the class of the AFC North. If walking down that street, I would likely slap everyone on it for being ridiculous. Sure, the Bengals have made the playoffs two seasons in a row, but wake me when they get out of the first round. The Jay Cutler-Brandon Marshall connection will be deadly for the Bears.
New England 36, Buffalo 12
Must be nice for the Patriots to play in a division that has exactly one good team – themselves. It will be interesting to see what kind of numbers Danny Amendola can put up in the New England offense if he can stay healthy. It's a little known fact that the most explosive player on the field could well be the Bills' C.J. Spiller. So Buffalo has that going for it.
Pittsburgh 23, Tennessee 13
It's going to be an awfully interesting season in Pittsburgh, and it could conceivably go either way. The one thing we do know is that Jake Locker is not going to beat the Steelers and Chris Johnson will be held to less than 100 yards. The breakout star for Pittsburgh will be Markus Wheaton, its third-round pick out of Oregon State.
Tampa Bay 6, N.Y. Jets 0
The Buccaneers could end up as one of this season's surprise teams if the good Josh Freeman that we saw two seasons ago shows up. If he doesn't, Tampa Bay goes back to being called the 'Yuckaneers.' You have to feel for Geno Smith after he fell so far in the draft, then landed with the Jets, otherwise known currently as the most dysfunctional team in the NFL. I give Rex Ryan five weeks before he is unemployed, giving him far more time to work on the physique.
Jacksonville 17, Kansas City 16
People keep saying the Chiefs are going to be better, but when Alex Smith is your big offseason acquisition, it's hard to see how that can be true. If he can stay healthy – that will be a theme in the league – Maurice Jones-Drew could lift the Jags out of mediocrity. Remember, he is playing for what will likely be his last big contract.
Seattle 31, Carolina 18
A lot is being expected out of the Seahawks this season, and for good reason. The defense is good as their is in the NFL, and Russell Wilson should improve even more in his second season. Meanwhile, the Panthers still have DeAngelo Williams at running back and Steve Smith as receiver. If this was 2006, that would be smashing.
Cleveland 14, Miami 12
The Dolphins spent $60 million to sign Mike Wallace, who was unimpressive throughout the preseason. Then, Dustin Keller went down with a gruesome knee injury that took away Ryan Tannehill's security blanket underneath, meaning Wallace will face constant double teams without that threat. I like what the Browns did in the offseason, really stacking their defense. It will be good enough … at least this week.
Minnesota 26, Detroit 23
Detroit is arguably the most talented team in the league, but it doesn't always translate on Sundays. One week up, two down. A defense that is star-studded up front has to deal with the best back in the world right off the hop, something I don't think it's ready to do. Adrian Peterson gets a good start on his quest for 2,500 yards.
Indianapolis 36, Oakland 19
Hey, have you heard? The Raiders are terrible. I know, I know. You've heard that before. Well, it isn't about to change this season. The hype surrounding Andrew Luck was a tad excessive last season considering his pedestrian touchdown-to-interception ratio, but this is a good way to build some early confidence.
San Francisco 28, Green Bay 13
Aaron Rodgers is widely considered to be the best QB out there, but ESPN's Ron Jaworski says Colin Kaepernick has the potential to be the greatest ever. Yeah, OK. Let's let him play a full season before we put him into the upper echelon. Rodgers is going to struggle to make plays here because his receiving corp is the walking wounded right now.
St. Louis 27, Arizona 21
Once the laughingstock of football, the NFC West is suddenly loaded with talent. Sam Bradford has a ton of toys at his disposal these days, including former WVU receivers Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey. The Cardinals have Bruce Arians, but you can't hide the fact Carson Palmer is the guy throwing the passes.
N.Y. Giants 43, Dallas 9
To nobody's surprise the Cowboys are in prime time for their opening game. That aggravates a lot of people who are tired of hearing about a team that has won a single playoff game since 1996. But luckily it affords us the opportunity to watch Tony Romo embarrass himself in front of the entire country.
Monday's Games
Philadelphia 32, Washington 15
Is there anyone aware that Robert Griffin III is a walking miracle, having fought back from a terrible knee injury? If so, then obviously you don't watch the "Worldwide Leader," which gave us a minute-by-minute update on his condition all summer. Funny thing is, he can't play defense and that is going to be the issue for the Redskins as Eagles coach Chip Kelly unveils his uptempo offense.
San Diego 26, Houston 25
The Chargers have gone from the team everyone liked to pick to win the Super Bowl, to just another also-ran out on the coast that may actually be in danger of relocating. Is this the season the Texans finally break through? Two playoff victories against the Bengals hardly qualifies for elite status.

Take it Off
It was not too long ago that seeing a mustache in November was a rare occurrence. Now, it feels like the entire month is a real-life version of Anchorman. Whether it's because facial hair is on-trend or because people have actually started concerning themselves with the dangers of testicular cancer, it's hard to tell. But hey, it's progress, either way. Next on the list: baldness -- and no, it's not to raise awareness for premature hair loss. St. Baldrick's Foundation and Team Akerman are hosting a community head-shaving fundraiser to raise awareness for kids who have lost their locks due to chemotherapy. The goal is to raise $60,000 for childhood cancer research. Taking place at Duffy's Sports Grill in West Palm Beach on Wednesday, the event kicks off at noon with a live broadcast until 2 p.m. by ESPN Radio's Josh Cohen. Around 4 p.m., more than 30 volunteers as well as Team Akerman lawyers and staff will start lining up to have their heads shaved with help from West Palm salon Anushka Salon & Spa. Akerman and St. Baldrick's are encouraging donations for the event. Duffy's Sports Grill is located at 225 Clematis St. in West Palm Beach. Call 561-249-1682, or visit duffysmvp.com.

Google fine is barely a slap on the wrist. Bloomberg
The UpTake: Google was yesterday fined $17 million, but if they earned as much as you, how would that actually feel?
Yesterday, Google agreed to pay $17 million to settle charges that it had taken advantage of a loophole in Apple's Safari browser to track some of their competitor's users without their knowing. By comparison, Google generated $50 billion in revenue last year. So how would it feel to you if the same fine was dolled out to someone of your salary? Let's take a look.
In August of last year, Google agreed to pay the FTC $22.5 million for similar infractions related to the Safari browser, which still would feel like little more than if you took your friend out for a bison burger or bought a pair of crocs.
Hardly a disincentive for playing with loopholes in the future.

Category Archives: Trade Rumors
Oilers could be busy at trade deadline as they have marketable assets
I know the trade deadline is two months away, but what would the market be for unrestricted free agents like Ales Hemsky, Nick Schultz and Ryan Jones? Second or third-rounders because they are players contenders would want? What about Devan Dubnyk/Ilya Bryzgalov and Corey Potter?
If GM Kevin Cheveldayoff isn't trying to trade No. 33, he's not trying to make the Jets better.
What to do with defenceman Dustin Byfuglien?
Byfuglien showed what he's all about, a two-goal, plus-3 performance the first two games, then handing the Pens two goals and going minus-3, Sunday.
Rumors from the Edmonton Journal
Most people think the Pittsburgh Penguins will dangle defenceman Simon Despres to get a forward at the NHL trade deadline because they have Derrick Pouliot, who was outstanding in the world junior hockey championship, coming and they like blue-liner Brian Dumoulin, who they acquired in the Jordan Staal trade.
Sather must decide: Is dealing Girardi best for Rangers?
Thus, how much more value as a trade chip, rather than as a first-pair defenseman, might Girardi bring to a Ranger organization that doesn't appear close to a championship and all but certainly will have to undertake a significant reload over the next offseason or two?
It is, of course, impossible to answer the question blindly. Which means it is therefore incumbent for general manager Glen Sather to be in position to know with the March 5 trade deadline now less than two months away.
Could the Avs move O'Reilly
So here's the situation if that happens: O'Reilly would be paid more than Matt Duchene. Or, more than anyone else on the Avs, assuming all things stay equal. Will the big-money fight between the Avs and O'Reilly — the one that saw him miss half of last season — happen again? Or, come Feb. 28, will they have already traded him and not had to deal with him anymore?
EDM VERY active to make a move now
Intriguing to see #Oilers Scott Howson in press box in LA. Couple that with word EDM VERY active to move now, Hemsky/Gagner in mix.
— Dennis Bernstein (@DennisTFP) January 5, 2014
Leafs and Rangers have talked trade
The Maple Leafs have expressed previous interest in Del Zotto, but both Jake Gardiner and Cody Franson, the Toronto defensemen who'd been mentioned as potential parties of the other part, had dreadful games and do not excite the Rangeers as return in a potential trade.
Rumors By Bruce Garrioch ,Ottawa Sun
I've been told by a couple of teams that Rutherford is willing to trade anybody with the exception of centre Eric Staal and his brother Jordan Staal. Teams will certainly call about left wing Jeff Skinner, but he is one of the NHL's top scorers and isn't going anywhere.
Could the Habs trade Briere to the Sabres?
Briere was the name mentioned in trade rumors with the Buffalo Sabres in the early evening. Rumors emanating from Toronto that involved Steve Ott.
Kings need scoring left wing
You can start lining up the usual suspects for the positional need of left wing: Moulson, Calgary's Mike Cammalleri and Tampa Bay's Ryan Malone are names that have circulated around this team seemingly forever.
A more intriguing play would be with a team that has found success with former Kings Moulson and Thomas Hickey, the New York Islanders.
Rangers can't find a taker for Del Zotto
Whether this was the intention or not, the fact of the matter is Michael Del Zotto has become the Rangers' whipping boy.
For the eighth time this season and the seventh time in the previous 22 games, Del Zotto was made a healthy scratch for Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Panthers at the BB&T Center. The former wunderkind defenseman has spoiled under new coach Alain Vigneault, and his future with the franchise has never looked more unstable.
Michal Neuvirth wants out of Washington
It's been a rollercoaster stint in Washington for Capitals goalie Michal Neuvirth.
Every time he gets an opportunity to seize the No. 1 job, something gets in the way.
Now, his agent is pleading for the Caps to trade his client.
Jake Gardiner or Nazem Kadri could land a respectable return
The best-case-scenario hope, of course, is that various developments will make Phaneuf and the rest of the core look better soon enough; that Morgan Rielly emerges as a home-grown bargain; that Peter Holland continues to produce as a trade-market steal; that trade bait like Jake Gardiner or Nazem Kadri could land a respectable fish; that Bolland returns from injury and re-signs for a reasonable number when he hits free agency this summer; that Jonathan Bernier's goaltending can cover up enough the rest of the flaws through another money-drenched playoff run.

I was hit in the nose two days ago. Not extremely hard, but hard enough for it to be a little sore. It now looks like I have a subtle dorsal hump. Is this just swelling or is it going to permanently be like this? Also, it feels like there is a slight pressure where the hump is. I'm hoping the hump is just swelling, but it feels like bone.
Can a Hit Cause a Permanent Dorsal Hump?
Doctor Answers 20
Injury can cause a saddle deformity
Injury to the bridge of the nose can cause a small dorsal hump even without breaking the bones. This can result from the upper lateral cartilages and septum getting separated from the bone and 'falling in' thus making the bony part of the nose appear to be sticking out. This can be corrected with cartilage grafting.

Traumatic dorsal hump
Signs of a nasal fracture include nasal bleeding, nasal swelling, under eye bruising, and a possible change in nasal appearance.

Trauma to the nose leading to bumps in the nose
At the beginning, it is hard to tell if the bump if permanent or just swelling. Ice packs can help decrease the swelling. The first two weeks after the trauma, the nasal bones can still be moved by the surgeon if they were fracture and this can often solve the problem. If the bump persist after a month, surgery might be necessary.

Dorsal Hump Caused by Trauma
Permanent Hump After Nasal Trauma
Dorsal Hump Injury
Nasal trauma is an extremely common phenomenon. These injuries are frequently accompanied by rapid onset of swelling and may result in bleeding. It can be very difficult to differentiate isolated soft tissue swelling from fractures of the nasal bones in the immediate post injury period. For this reason, it may take time for a determination to be made. After approximately two weeks, the swelling should resolve and the extent of the injury should be clear.
Nasal trauma and dorsal hump
Trauma to the nose and results in developing a dorsal up even though the nose still appears straight. Impact to one of the nasal bones can create a buckling effect along the midline of the nose as it meets resistance from the other nasal bone. If this occurs a dorsal hump will develop.

From ice cream seller to international filmmaker - Leila tells her life story
Award-winning Ghanaian filmmaker, Leila Djansi has made a good impression on the African movie scene with her films; 'I Sing Of A Well', 'Sinking Sands' and 'Ties That Bind.'
Last year, she took a step further and shot her first Hollywood film titled, 'And There Was You'. She also directed 'Northern Affair'.
Leila, in an interview with NEWS-ONE's Francis Addo from her USA base, said that her success is a long journey of struggles. At a point, she said her family became broke when stroke rendered her father bedridden - she had to sell ice cream to survive.
Good to have you here.
Thank you.
How did you start your career?
Long story. I'm not sure we have enough time. But to paraphrase, I had wanted to be an OBGYN (Obstetrics and Gynaecology), but so many things about it freaked me out. Albeit, I'd always put friends together and directed school plays since I was in class 4. So, after some soul-searching and God leading, I knew my hobby was my career. I started out with Socrates Sarfo as a writer and production coordinator. I wrote a bunch of films for him. Never got paid or credited for it so I left and went to GAMA Films. Just days at GAMA, I got an artistic honour scholarship to study at SCAD in Georgia so I took off and the rest is as you see it.
How was life in Georgia?
I was the only African in the Film Department. We were probably about 15 black students. It took some adjusting to. Because these are fellow students who've been exposed to amazing filmmaking and I didn't have that luxury or experience. And it was like being an ambassador, because whatever wrong you do or good you do, would be a reflection on Africa, Ghana. And I'm happy I held my own. My films were played on the Film Department's website for two years. That was a good feeling. I did writing and producing track there for three years and then I went to Art Center College for a directing track. That took me two years due to transfer credits.
How long have you been in filmmaking?
Wow, since 2008, professionally. That would be five years now. But all through Film school, I was interning and working. I was 19 when I started working in film in Ghana.
You shot in Hollywood last year. Is it expensive as compared to Ghana?
Yes and No. For example, if I had shot 'Ties That Bind' here, it would have been cheaper for me here than in the US. But if I'd wanted to make 'Ties That Bind' affiliate to all the unions, like IASTE, DGA, etc, it would have been way more expensive. Making what we call a Non-Union film in the US is very cost effective because it has its own structure. Making a union film is where you are paying 650 dollars a day to a below the line crew and so that becomes expensive.
Who is Leila Djansi?
I am who you want me to be. People see the glass half full, others see it half empty. Who I am depends on who you are. At the end of the day, I am one living in the space God designated for me, doing what he's provided for me to do. I live thankful everyday because I am a filmmaker, a free spirit and a friend of God.
How was growing up like?
Well, it started out fun. My dad was quite wealthy and we lived well. He was an aeronautical engineer. Then he got sick with stroke and things began to go downhill. But luckily, we were raised very well though; they knew no condition is permanent so we survived. We are all girls, so the danger was going wayward. Because it got to a time we were so broke. So broke. My mum went to Medical School then, and my dad was bedridden. Things were tough. But my mum graduated, got a good position in the hospital. Things didn't go back to normal because my dad was still sick. But we pulled through. It was around that time that I knew I wanted to make films and I was under studying with Socrates Safo. I wasn't making money there because I'd said I wasn't doing it for money. But you'd think I'd be given something small when you turn my scripts into films and make money right? So I'd come back home to Ho, sell ice cream and go back to Accra. Even when I came to the US, I had two jobs and school, so I could help my mum. But God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. Although my dad died right around the time I was becoming who I am, I know he's proud and happy wherever he is.
Touching story!
Those years shaped me and made me strong. If I hadn't gone through those difficult times, I don't think I'd be this determined and aggressive at making something great out of my life. Brings to mind what God said that when we go through fire, he'd be with us. Meaning, you will go through terrible times but he'll be there with you.
Where is your mum now?
My mum is retired now. She's living in Ho. Enjoying the fruits of her labour.
Does her life and your life experience influence your film scripts?
It does. Always. You don't go through what we went through and not have some level of pain inside. So when I write and I go deep, those things come up. Sometimes I'm writing and I'm crying. Hard.
Is the medical beat in your films an inspiration from your mother?
It is. I like to be honest in everything I write. I won't write about something I've not experienced, lived or known about in-depth. So I end up having the same beats in things I do. But also, I believe I'm still holding on to the bitter past so it keeps coming up. Letting go is something I find very hard doing. But…I'm learning and I'm trying.
Hope you will let go one day.
I will. I need to surround myself with the right people and then it will happen. In this industry, it's very easy to surround yourself with people who are only there to exploit you. When that happens, you start to build walls and you get trapped. Which is why people in the arts are so crazy. Drugs, etc.
Sounds like some people in the arts have betrayed you. Countless times; from the very first day I set foot in Ghana. You think oh, this is my friend, my sister and bam! They stab you in the back in the dark. But I'm learning. I'm lazily writing a book about my life. Don't know when I'll finish it. It's quite vivid.
Some say Leila is an iron lady.
I don't know about that. I am tough when I have to be. Funny thing comes to mind. When we were making Northern Affair, a crew member came up to me and said 'Aunty Leila, when we're not working, you are very nice, but when we start working, you are so hard.' I found it funny. There should be a clear distinction between work and play. Life is not all about smiling and laughing and having fun. It's hard work. You just need to find a balance that suits you. That's what I do. I'm fiercely protective of my work so if you're going to work with me, you must be very committed and disciplined and innovative, otherwise you won't have any good memories of me.
People say you are controversial and dramatic.
I never know what to say when people say that! But my mother used to say something when we were growing up: a bad guest would always say his host is bad. Life is about cause and effect. Some said to me last week, oh Leila you like to fight. And I said please give me the name of who I fought. And he said Ghana Movie Awards. I don't know when voicing an opinion became synonymous with fighting. The fact that you are too cowardly to speak up when things are going wrong doesn't mean I am. God did not put me here to be a robot. If you are doing the wrong thing and I see it, I will say it. I don't think people misunderstand who I am. I think the people who say that feel threatened by my confidence and knowledge. I've worked in America for years and no one says that about me. So why Africa? When you are a woman they don't consider you worthy of what you have achieved and yet you are confident, they come up with all these tags; ugly, controversial etc. It's pathetic and it's weak minded. Funny enough the people who say these about me have never met me, or have never even spent 10 minutes with me. They form their opinion from idle gossip and feeding themselves from gutter tabloids. You never form your opinion of someone based on another person's view of them. You form yours. Example, a guy came up to me at a party in Ghana and said he saw me at an event and wanted to come say 'hi'. But his friends told him I'll abuse him so he didn't. So he found it hard to believe I was sitting there with friends talking and laughing. This is someone who is a very good friend of mine now. If he were dumb, without experiencing me for himself, he'd go and tell someone else bad things about me.
Do you get hurt by what people say about you?
I used to. Not anymore. Because really, the only thing I owe the public is good work. I would never exploit them by making bad work for them to patronize. That's the only relationship I have with them. My personal life is mine just as theirs is theirs. The only person qualified to judge me is my God and my immediate family. I won't change who I am to please anyone. Neither would I pretend to be something I'm not. The side I show you, as a result of the side you show me, is who I am. If you change, I'll change. It feels very good when people come up to me and say, "Wow, you are not what they say you." I like that "duh" moment for them. Haha.
Is Socrates Sarfo your friend?
I have never been at odds with Socrates. He told me not to come back to Ghana because the industry was choked. I did. He told me not to work with Akorfa, I did. Then he made a film I thought was exploitative, I told him about it and he got upset. When I see him, I go up to him, he ignores me. He goes about trying to sabotage me working in Ghana but I really don't care. I buy all his films. Good or bad to support him and I'll continue to do that as a sign of gratitude.
Looks like the female directors are doing better than the men.
You think so? And those very men control the industry at the top and do everything possible to frustrate us. It has nothing to do with the sex but everything to do with standards and practices and know-how.
Will women be better controllers of the industry?
There are women leaders in FIPAG. I met one. She's none different from the men. Same with the distributors.
Does our industry have a chance to grow and compete with acclaimed industries?
The one and only way forward for the industry is UNITY. Everyone, even opera square has something to offer. If we unite and bring all our ideas to the table, great things will happen. We need to stop pitching against each other, jealousy, gossip, bitterness all of that. We all make different films. When we were casting for Northern Affair, an actor we were trying to cast told Aunty Mabel he did some research on me and I think I'm the best in Africa. It was so hurtful because I have never and will never say that about myself. I can't. But this is how fellow industry folks, out of jealousy go about spreading lies and creating disunity. There's a guild in Ghana called equity. I heard a member say she would frustrate the efforts of the guild if she is not made president. I mean listen to that. But that is a representation of the kind of persons in the industry. Everybody wants to be the 'best', the 'recognized one' and 'famous'. It's ridiculous. With multiple selfish interests, how will the industry go anywhere talk less of competing with major industries?
Have we as Africans been telling the story with our movies?
I've seen that Nigerians are and I'm excited. In Ghana, we are still recycling. But, there's no money to make good films in Ghana. And there's no money because one, Ghana is small. And every little act of piracy goes a long way. Two, there are no proper channels of distribution. Opera Square will sit on your product or your money until they choose. It's hard.
Which schools did Leila attend?
I went to Kabore Primary/JSS, Mawuli Secondary, Savannah College of Art and Design and The Art Center College.
Is Leila married?
No. But I'm a mum to two adorable little girls I adopted three years ago.

People with disabilities are people with rights. With the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities a big step has been taken in the movement from viewing persons with disabilities as "objects" of charity, medical treatment and social protection towards viewing persons with disabilities as "subjects" with rights, who are capable of claiming those rights and making decisions for their lives based on their free and informed consent as well as being active members of society.
But to make this a reality we have to make sure that people with disabilities have access to society and are able to participate in society and have the same choices as non-disabled persons. Accessibility can eliminate most participation restrictions and give people with disabilities the opportunity to lead active productive lives well integrated in society and family.
Accessibility is a very important part of the inclusion of people with disabilities in society. An accessible and barrier free environment is the first step towards fulfilling the right of people with disabilities to participate in all areas of community life. An accessible society is a key for a society based on equal rights, and provides its citizens with autonomy and the means to pursue an active social and economic life. An accessible society means that most people will be able to seek employment, receive education and training, and pursue an active social and economic life. Accessibility should be seen as an investment, leading to increased production and higher productivity.
Accessibility is a concern for everyone, not only for people with disabilities. As the demographic changes lead towards an ageing population in Europe, accessibility should be taken into account across a wider range of policies than just disability policy. We need to make sure that products and the built environment are accessible to all, regardless of their ages, ability, or status in life. Universal design is already used with success but there are many areas in which it has not yet been adopted to any great extent.
This conference will focus on accessibility and participation for people with disabilities.
