Bruins can hear the hype
|08.09.10 at 7:22 pm ET
MIDDLETON — Eighty-something days after the Flyers eliminated the Bruins in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Bruins Shawn Thornton, Milan Lucic, and Tuukka Rask took to the golf course for Parkinson's disease, re-energized on the tail end of the offseason. Frustration and shock that stained the end of the season seems to have washed away, and for good reason.
The Bruins infamously let the Flyers erase a 3-0 series lead and allowed Philadelphia to advance to the conference finals, where they would defeat the Canadiens.
"[It was] really hard. Obviously when something like that happens, it stays in for a long time, but you've just got to realize what happened and learn from that," Rask said Monday. "I think if we're ever in the same kind of situation again, we're much stronger as a team and as individuals for [learning] from that situation."
Since things ended for the Bruins, though, the team started on a course to fill whatever perceived holes they had while also retaining its core group of guys.
Though the team finished sixth in the conference with 91 points last season and were viewed as somewhat of a regular season disappointment, in coming within a game of playing for a shot to represent the East, the Bruins confirmed to Boston their legitimacy as a team with significant playoff potential. As a result, fans have overlooked the loss to the Flyers and instead have zeroed in on how close the Bruins appear to be. Whether it be adding Tyler Seguin and Nathan Horton or bringing back Mark Recchi, Blake Wheeler, Thornton, and key guys on defense, something has sent a jolt of life into Boston's fanbase and the Bruins are noticing.
"People have been telling me around town that they don't remember the last time there's been such a buzz about the Bruins this time of year," Lucic said. "It's great that that's going on right now. Obviously with that there's a lot of expectation and I think there should be with our team. We've gone to the second round two times in the last two years. We should be striving to get better and striving to push for more and wanting to be better so we can make that jump to being an elite team where we can have that push into the playoffs and obviously have a real good playoff run."
The Bruins also sold out full season-ticket packages this summer, further cementing the notion that hockey is gaining more steam in Boston. Fans also crowded Faneuil Hall on the night of the draft to watch the announcement of Seguin's selection by the Bruins.
The players will take it one step at a time, though, as Rask seems antsy to just get onto the ice with the team next month.
"It's funny. When you stay off the ice for a couple weeks you kind of miss it," Rask said. "I skated last week in Finland with my friends and it felt pretty good, so I'm looking forward to it."

Since it's the season of weddings in Bollywood, fans can't wait for actor Vidya Balan, 34, to tie the knot with her beau, producer Siddharth Roy Kapur, 38. So is it indeed December, as the buzz is? Vidya decides to beat around the bush. "Of course, I will be happy to get married 'someday'," said Balan, who was in the capital on Friday as the brand ambassador of a campaign to raise awareness about sanitation.
Asked if this is a pre-cursor to any closet political aspirations perhaps inspired by veteran Rekha whom she has been often compared to, she said, "I truly respect Rekhaji a lot but I don't see myself in Parliament or in politics. I am happy doing films."
Talking about her upcoming projects, Vidya said, "My next release will be Ghanchakkar with Emraan Hashmi. I play a homemaker in it. My character makes a point that housewives aren't boring."

Through years of experience, SMC has established itself as a training expert in the field of negotiation, mediation and conflict management in Singapore and the region. Our workshops are highly-rated for their proven teaching methodologies, interactive content and highly energised teaching environment.
Mediation Advocacy: How to be an Effective Lawyer during Mediation
Next Course Dates:
14 to 15 March 2016 (POSTPONED)
Registration Fee (Inclusive of GST)
The 2-day workshop on Mediation Advocacy: How to be an Effective Lawyer during Mediation is specially tailored for lawyers and in-house counsel who represent their clients or organisations in mediating civil disputes, whether in court or in pre-litigation contentious matters.
Mediation has been steadily growing in prominence in Singapore and has become an integral part of the legal landscape. As mediation has now assumed a greater role in the resolution of legal disputes, lawyers have to be equipped to represent their clients in mediation as effectively as in a trial.
The mediation process requires communication and negotiation skills that differ greatly from trial advocacy. The lawyer has to work collaboratively with the other lawyer to secure a negotiated settlement, whilst always protecting his client's interests. This workshop will enable lawyers to have a better understanding of their role in mediation and therefore better serve their clients by getting the best possible results.
What You Can Expect to Learn:
- Have a better understanding of the mediation process
- Be equipped with the essential knowledge and skills required for more effective mediation advocacy
- Be better equipped in helping your clients to assess the suitability of mediation for the dispute
- Know how to effectively prepare for mediation – selecting your mediator, preparation of case summary and supporting documents, preparing your client
- Help maximise your client's settlement benefits
- Understand the institutional (judicial) perspective on mediation
- Be familiar with the legal issues in mediation
Who Should Attend:
- Lawyers and in-house counsel who want to learn more about mediation advocacy
- Lawyers and in-house counsel who want to learn how to represent clients at mediation
Continuing Professional Development Points (CPD):
The Singapore Institute of Legal Education (SILE) has accredited this workshop as follows:
- CPD Points for Lawyers: 12
- Practice Area: Professional Skills
- Training Category: Foundation
Participants who require CPD Points should indicate their 'Admission as Advocate and Solicitor Number' (AAS No) on the registration form.
For more information on SILE's CPD Scheme, please visit: www.silecpdcentre.sg
Attending the Mediation Advocacy: How to be an Effective Lawyer during Mediation qualifies all Singapore businesses for tax deductions / allowances or cash payouts from the Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) Scheme administered by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS), subject to the terms and conditions.

A trademark free-kick from Andrea Pirlo sent Juventus into the quarter-finals of the Europa League and Serie A rivals Fiorentina crashing out.
The veteran midfielder fired his effort into the top corner in the 71st minute to earn the Turin side the away goal they needed.
The free-kick was awarded for a foul by Gonzalo Rodriguez on Fernando Llorente which saw the Fiorentina man sent off for a second yellow card.
The win sent Juve through 2-1 on aggregate.
Benfica survived a major scare against Tottenham before sealing their progress 5-3 on aggregate.
The Portuguese side, already 3-1 up from the away leg, extended their advantage through Ezequiel Garay's first-half goal and looked set for an easy night.
But two goals in two minutes from Nacer Chadli suddenly left the visitors needing just one more with 10 minutes remaining to force extra-time.
Striker Harry Kane had a penalty appeal turned down before Rodrigo Lima's injury-time spot-kick at the other end made it 2-2.
Lyon went through, despite going down 2-1 at Viktoria Plzen.
The Ligue 1 side went into the match with a commanding 4-1 first-leg advantage and took the lead in the Czech Republic through Bafetimbi Gomis on the stroke of half-time.
The hosts fought back, Daniel Kolar levelling and Stanislav Tecl making it 2-1 before then missing a penalty, as Lyon went through 5-3 overall.
Valencia completed a 4-0 aggregate win over Ludogorets Razgrad as Paco Alcacer's goal earned them a 1-0 home-leg success.
AZ Alkmaar edged into the last eight two, holding Anzhi Makhachkala to a 0-0 draw in Russia to go through 1-0 on aggregate.
Porto struck twice in the space of seven second-half minutes to knock Napoli out 3-2 on aggregate and progress to the quarter-finals.
The Italian side, trailing 1-0 from the first leg, had piled forward throughout the match and led through Goran Pandev's 20th minute goal.
A second seemed a matter of time as the chances kept coming, but instead substitute Nabil Ghilas levelled for Porto in a 69th-minute counter-attack before Ricardo Quaresma killed off Napoli with brilliant individual effort, meaning Duvan Zapata's injury-time goal to make it 2-2 on the night was mere consolation.
Ten-man Basle came from 1-0 down to knock out Salzburg with a 2-1 win in Austria and victory on aggregate by the same margin.
The visitors suffered an early setback when Marek Suchy was sent off after only nine minutes and Jonathan Soriano put Salzburg ahead in the 22nd minute.
The match was briefly suspended as Basle fans threw objects on to the pitch, but their team staged a second-half fightback. Marco Streller made it 1-1 six minutes after the break and Gaston Sauro added another nine minutes later.
Salzburg ended the match a man light too, Alan being red-carded in the 86th minute.
Real Betis and city rivals Sevilla needed penalties to separate them after their game went into extra time with the aggregate score level at 2-2.
Goals from former Arsenal player Jose Antonio Reyes and Carlos Bacca gave Sevilla a 2-0 win on the night.
And when the game went to a shoot-out, Sevilla triumphed, 4-3.

Palace Visit
A Major Privilege
Featured News | 22nd October 2010
Nottinghamshire Director of Cricket Mick Newell has spoke of his pride in joining nine members of the squad for a winners' reception at Buckingham Palace.
Support staff and committee members joined players' wives and girlfriends on the trip which was organised by the Lord's Taverners.
"Visiting Buckingham Palace again was a big honour and it's one of several privileges that tie in with winning the championship," said Newell.
"The Duke of Edinburgh is a big cricket fan and it was great that he took the time to speak to so many people during our visit.
"He was good-humoured and asked me if the players took any notice of what I told them!"
The players were each presented with LV= County Championship winners' medals and ECB Chief Executive David Collier presented Nottinghamshire Chairman Peter Wright with a commemorative pennant which will be displayed in the Trent Bridge pavilion.

Just last week Eckehard Stier, Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra's ever-astute music director, described The Rake's Progress to me as "funny, full of jokes and very APO-ish".
On Friday, in concert, Stravinsky's opera proved to be all that and more.
From gnarly brass fanfares to breezy epilogue, complete with tongue-in-cheek moral admonitions, Stier served it up crisp and frothy - in keeping with Auden and Kallman's elegant libretto and the lean sparkle of Stravinsky's music.
There were times when imaginations were tested - a graveyard scene without freshly dug graves or Baba the Turk arriving on foot rather than in a sedan - but they were few.
In the brothel scene, the Chapman Tripp Chorus sang lustily as "roaring boys" and "whores" while Helen Medlyn's Mother Goose was a rapacious madam with a whip.
Working from a Mozartian model, Stravinsky perpetually dodges around in the pursuit of unpredictability, and the APO caught every turn. Stier's rhythmic buoyancy kept every phrase airborne; even a few bars of wind trio catching a moonlit night were to be savoured.
Andrew Goodwin, as Tom, displayed the sort of clean-chiselled voice that could have been custombuilt for the role. Not only was he deft in the many ingenious ensembles, but poignantly lyrical in arias like "Vary the song, O London".
As the faithful Anne, Madeleine Pierard was scrupulous in her musicianship; she enjoyed the star turn of "No word from Tom", following through its many emotions, until its triumphant climax.
Paul Whelan mediated charm with chill as Nick Shadow, the smoothest of villains. Forceful in solo work, he was seductively watchable, enticing the hapless Tom to ignominy and death. Liane Keegan was an ebullient bearded Baba, raging magnificently in her "Scorned! Abused!" although it was a mystery why this particular Act II aria had been held back until after interval.
We have come to expect scintillating cameos from Andrew Glover on the opera stage. Suave and droll as the auctioneer Sellem, backed by the outraged cries of chorusing citizens, he made one wonder whether Stravinsky, like Kurt Weill, had a soft spot for the satires of Gilbert and Sullivan.
What: The Rake's Progress
Where: Auckland Town Hall
When: Friday.

Serie A: Antonio Conte disappointed with Juventus' last gasp draw v Verona
Juventus coach Antonio Conte was disappointed to let two important points slip after Hellas Verona snatched a draw.
Last Updated: 10/02/14 11:05am
The Turin giants looked on course for their 20th victory in Verona after Carlos
Tevez had given Juve a 2-0 lead after 21 minutes.
But Hellas battled back and substitute Juanito popped up in the 90th minute to earn his side a 2-2 draw.
"It's inexplicable," Conte said to Gazzetta dello Sport. "We threw away all the good work we had done.
"We were punished by two set plays on two defensive distractions and that is unacceptable."
Conte felt his side should have killed the game off in the opening half.
"We could have done a lot better," he said. "I am perplexed that we dominated the opening half only to end up with a point.
"We have to be more focused because it is a question of concentration.
"It's a shame we drew this game against a Verona side that created few
"I have to compliment them for their determination."
A win on Sunday would have seen Juve go 11 points clear of second-place Roma, who were held to a goalless result at Lazio at the weekend.
Roma have a game in hand while Juve host Chievo on Sunday.

I received bad news about Carson today. I took him in to get xrays. The vet find out by the xrays that he has severe hip dysplasia. His ball joints are not even in their sockets. They are free moving. They said he needs a full hip replacement, which cost $7,000 or he has about 2 years left until I would have to put him to sleep. He is too young, loving and happy dog to do that to. I am praying and doing alot of research on what to do. I have grown too attached to him and do not want to lose him. I was sad before about the thought of losing him to a new family but how am I supposed to deal with putting him to sleep. I made him an appointment with a specialist in hip dysplasia surgeries. I was told he made be able to get the FHO surgery, which is about $5000 cheaper. I am going to raise the money through donations and asking organizations for help. I will keep you updated.
I noticed since I got Carson something was not right with his hips. First I thought it was that he recently got neutered and his incision was bothering him. I took him to the vet two weeks ago and they said he may have a Tick Borne Disease. They gave him medicine and said that he should be showing a huge approvement in a few days. However, he seemed to get worse. So I took him in Friday and they examined him and said he may need xrays, but I needed to bring him back so they could put him under so they could get the right angle. I am so scared he has something really wrong with his hips and just the thought of it hurts. This would make his chances of getting adopted go down. I have been paying the vet bill because the rescue is having trouble making ends meet. I know that I can not afford and big vet bill, especially if he needs surgery. I have a feeling who ever gave this wonderful boy up, got him from a PM or BYB in the Walmart parking lot. After he started growing they noticed he was having trouble walking and took him to the vet and they told them him had something major wrong. They paniced and drove him out to the country as fast as they could and dumped him. They gave up on him and did not even looked back. He deserves to be with a family that would do anything for. I just hope he can still find someone that can give him what he needs.
I took Carson to Apple Fest and he was just wonderful. He was very social and just loved the attention he received. A four year old came up to him with her face white with blue stars wanted to pet him. I never saw a dog be so gentle with a little person before. He just leaned his head on stomach and just relaxed and allowed her to stroke his ears. I can tell he has been around kids before and was wonderful with them. He would love to have a family with kids again and I hope he gets it.......he deserves it.

A Haitian Reconnoissance
RUMORS had come to our isolated detachment of United States Marines at Aux Cayes, on the southern coast of Haiti, of an impending uprising against the American occupation by the Piquettes, the Nationalists of the South. In the North the Caco wing of the Nationalists had flamed out in open resistance and the First Regiment had seen lively campaigning. Finally the vague rumors centered on a reported plan of the Piquettes to rally their forces at Les Platones, in the Motte range of mountains, and from there to launch open hostilities.

Will U.S. Surgical's Cutting Edge Be Enough?Tim Smart
Marilyn Kusek entered the operating room at 10 a.m. on a Wednesday. By breakfast the next day, she was discharged. Two days later, she drove back to the hospital to tell a group of doctors about her successful surgery. The following week, the 49-year-old Stamford (Conn.) nurse was back at work, pulling a 12-hour shift. What's astonishing is that Kusek had undergone a full hysterectomy, an operation that normally requires a minimum of six weeks of painful recovery. Her doctors had used a "minimally invasive" technique in which they made a tiny incision in her body, placed a camera inside, and operated while watching a TV monitor. Surgeons call it laparoscopy, but Kusek has another term: "It's miracle surgery."
UNSTOPPABLE? It certainly has worked miracles for U.S. Surgical Corp. The manufacturer, which sells some of the key equipment used in laparoscopy, has lately been among the fastest-growing companies in America. Sales at the Norwalk (Conn.) company have climbed by 50% in each of the past two years, with profits up 98% in 1991, to $91 million. Wall Street's enthusiasm for miracles, real and otherwise, has propelled USS stock from 8 to more than 134 in just four years, making millionaires of founder Leon C. Hirsch and many of the company's employees.
But now, as USS reaches the milestone of $1 billion in annual sales, many wonder how it can possibly keep growing so fast. Once selling at 50 times earnings, its stock has become a favorite of short-sellers, plunging from around 120 to 74, or 30 times estimated earnings, in the past six months (chart). Many in the health care industry see dark clouds in USS's future: The company has a formidable new competitor in Ethicon Endo-Surgery, recently formed by Ethicon Inc., a subsidiary of health care giant Johnson & Johnson. On Sept. 9, Ethicon Endo-Surgery announced an alliance with Japan's Olympic Optical Co. to develop and market new laparo-scopic equipment. Meanwhile, some studies on laparoscopy show a number of procedural errors, which raise serious questions that could scare off potential patients.
CEO Hirsch, 65, dismisses the naysayers. Laparoscopy is no more dangerous than any other surgery, he says. He argues that the growth of the technique is unstoppable as his research and development labs engineer newer and better instruments: "The surface has barely been scratched," he says.
He may be right. In 1987, when USS introduced its Surgiport trocar, a tubular gadget through which other instruments are inserted in the body, laparoscopy was a paltry $10 million market. Last year, USS sold more than $300 million of laparoscopic instruments, and analysts now speak of a $2 billion market by 1995. Already used to remove gallbladders, hernias, and uteruses, the technique could soon be employed for more complicated procedures, such as lung surgery. Even if USS's share dipped to 50% from its present 80%, half of a $2 billion market would still be more than the company's entire 1991 sales.
If Hirsch is right--and there are many health care professionals who believe him--then USS could continue to soar. But competitors sense the same potential, and none of them wants to beat out USS more than mighty J&J. Hirsch cleaned J&J's clock in the 1960s with a surgical stapler that is the medical equivalent of the staple guns sold in hardware stores. The staples, which replace sutures in some applications, are now a $500 million business, growing at 20% a year. Hirsch commands some 75% of the market. USS left its rivals in the dust with laparoscopic stapling and cutting instruments, too. But now, J&J means business. Says Ethicon Endo-Surgery President William Weldon: "We set a target for ourselves to be the dominant player by the end of 1995."
The J&J unit has a U.S. sales force of 500, backed by 350 engineers, and it recently opened a state-of-the-art training facility for surgeons, in Ohio. Already, it is making inroads with hospital purchasing groups that have long been J&J customers. Ethicon, perennially dominant in sutures and other surgical supplies, "is not used to not being the market leader," says Kevin Weeks, operating-room program manager at Premier Hospitals Alliance Inc., which represents 150 hospitals. "They're throwing a lot of resources at it."
DOCTOR LOYALTY? Ethicon Endo-Surgery, backed by $12 billion-a-year J&J, has one important advantage over USS: price. Savings on its laparoscopic gear can average anywhere from 5% to 20% compared with USS, Weeks says: "For a small hospital of 200 beds, over a four-year period we can save upwards of $1 million with Ethicon."
Price isn't J&J's only selling point. Some health care administrators say USS became arrogant and unresponsive as it enjoyed a virtual monopoly in the laparoscopic marketplace over the past few years. "They feel their product is so superior," says Jonah Hughes, purchasing vice-president for Daughters of Charity National Health System, a 40-hospital chain. Frustrated at not getting discounts or concessions, Hughes signed an exclusive contract with Ethicon Endo-Surgery four months ago. Such complaints are hogwash, says Hirsch: "We're quite competitive on price, and we wouldn't have the market share we do if we were arrogant and didn't listen to ourcustomers."
USS sure doesn't look complacent these days. It is making a major push overseas, where it now gets about one-quarter of its sales, with a new sales and distribution center in France. Hirsch is also upping his R&D budget by 25% this year, to around $40 million. Along with Biomet Inc., USS has signed agreements to jointly develop and market a line of absorbable products for orthopedic surgery. And in a move that smacks of nose-tweaking, last year USS entered the $1 billion traditional suture business, which Ethicon has ruled for decades.
Hirsch's strategy is to sell a "package" of laparoscopic equipment and staples, plus sutures for those times when staples won't do the trick. Early reports from the field are encouraging. "The readings we are getting on the sutures are superb," says Robert P. Bowen, executive vice-president of Amerinet Inc., a buying group with 1,000 hospital customers. Analysts figure USS could sew up 10% of the sutures market within the next couple of years.
Still, that's a pinprick compared with the prospects in laparoscopy. To keep growing in the face of tough competition from Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Hirsch is counting on doctors to overrule cost-conscious bureaucrats: "No doctor is going to raise Cain over what bedpan you buy. However, when that patient is on the table, the doctor is personally responsible. It's a life-and-death decision."
Bonding with surgeons has always been a key part of the marketing strategy for USS's 1,100-person sales force. They have trained thousands of doctors in TV-age surgery--31,000 last year alone--and keep in almost constant touch with them through frequent follow-up visits. "With most of the physicians and professionals, U.S. Surgical has a substantial leadership position," says Earl Norman, chairman and CEO gf Health Services Corp., which sells equipment to 1,100 hospitals.
SCARCELY A SCAR. What many people think of Hirsch personally is another matter. Animal-rights activists, who accuse USS of treating dogs in its labs inhumanely, have been riding Hirsch for years. In 1988, a protester even placed a bomb near his parking spot, but the plan was thwarted by company security personnel who had infiltrated the animal-rights group.
More recently, Hirsch has taken some heat for becoming one of the highest-paid U.S. executives. His 1991 compensation totaled $23.3 million, and his wife, Executive Vice-President Turi Josefsen, made $23.6 million. Hirsch notes that the compensation mainly comes from stock options. Besides, he says, USS's top executives deserve their handsome rewards. Still, he irked some shareholders earlier this year by unloading thousands of his USS shares as they plunged in value--although, as he points out, he still owns some 5.3 million shares.
The stock might continue its slide if the medical community clamps down on laparoscopy. One fear, backed by studies showing high numbers of complications, is that too many doctors are performing the procedure without proper training. New York State is already talking of licensing doctors who perform laparoscopic procedures. But many doctors argue against such plans, insisting that the studies themselves are flawed.
Whatever the studies suggest, the real world experiences of patients such as Denis Niez are testimony to the procedure's success. A year ago, the 25-year-old pastry chef was rushed to a Miami hospital with intestinal bleeding. A week after a seven-hour operation to remove five feet of diseased colon, Niez was back at work. "I've got three little scars, and you can barely see them," he says. "The other way, they would have had to open me up about 10 inches." To U.S. Surgical, and now Johnson & Johnson, that difference could be worth billions.

Josh Duhamel
He's a great guy with a fun-loving personality so it's no wonder Nickelodeon selected Josh Duhamel to host their 26th Annual Kids' Choice Awards on March 23rd.
The "Transformers" hunk was overjoyed with the news- "Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards is a great event that celebrates kids by honoring their opinions and taps into the kid in all of us."
They've been working hard to promote their new flick "Safe Haven," and last night (January 21) Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel paid a visit to their fans in Toronto, Canada.
The "Footloose" hottie and her "Transformers" pal showed up at Much Music's "New Music Live" television show for an interview and plenty of on-camera craziness.
Out to show off their recent work, Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough joined together to work the red carpet at the Toronto premiere of "Safe Haven" on Monday (January 21).
Looking stunning in a strapless pink number, the "Footloose" beauty showed off for the media line while also taking time to pose with her dapper co-star.
Going for ultimate shock value, "Movie 43" has once again put together a red band trailer that's sure to catch viewers by surprise.
Directed by a slew of helmsmen including Peter Farrelly, Will Graham, Steven Brill, James Duffy, and Brett Ratner, the ensemble comedy consists of interwoven plotlines and plenty of profanity and vulgarity.
Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough showed up at the "A Night with Nicholas Sparks' Safe Haven: Filmmakers, Author and Stars Bring the Book to Life" event last night (January 17).
The "Transformers" hunk and the "Footloose" female looked to be in good spirits as they posed in front of a green screen set up at Castle Studios in Burbank, California.
Making the most of some time off, Josh Duhamel was spotted out and about in Los Angeles on Monday (December 24).
The "You're Not You" hunk stopped to put gas in his truck at a fuel station, looking handsome in a red plaid button-up shirt and grey distressed jeans.
Stepping out for some final holiday preparations, Fergie and Josh Duhamel shopped in West Hollywood on Saturday (December 22).
The Black Eyed Peas frontwoman wore a red top, dark trench coat, and circular shades, while she dashed across the street holding her hubby's hand.
Making the most of their weekend downtime, Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson and Josh Duhamel showed up at Smoke Restaurant in Los Angeles for a romantic evening on Saturday (December 15).
The "Fergalicious" babe and her handsome husband looked to be having a marvelous time as they walked arm-in-arm inside for some quality one-on-one bonding.
Puffing on a cigarette to start his day, Josh Duhamel headed to breakfast in Brentwood, California on Wednesday (December 12).
The "Transformers" star was dressed casually in a white shirt, black coat, tan pants, and black sneakers as he headed inside.
With Christmas just two weeks away, Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson was full of holiday spirit during her interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show"
The "Don't Stop the Party" songstress looked to be thoroughly enjoying herself as she discussed some Yule Tide traditions she shares with her handsome husband Josh Duhamel.

Time to think summer – summer camp that is!
The Main Library will be hosting the Grand Rapids Family Magazine's 2012 Camp Expo & Education Fair on Saturday, March 24 from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm. It's one-stop shopping for camps near (Grand Rapids Civic Theatre, Grand Rapids Art Museum) and far (Camp Newayo, Camp Michawana, Spring Hill Camp, Camp Manitou-Lin).
Twenty different camps will be represented at this event, providing opportunities for kids and teens of all ages. I personally was never brave enough to go away to camp (or was it my mom who wimped out?) but I have fond memories of participating in day camps where I created art, learned theater, sampled pom-pom, attempted volleyball (and determined it was not for me). Both kinds of camps (overnight far away and drop off for the day) will be represented at the event.
Colleges are planning summer fun:
• Ferris State University
• Grand Valley State University (participating in the Lake Michigan Writing Project)
• Calvin College
• Hope College
• Kendall College of Art and Design
So are local schools:
• Grand Rapids Public Schools
• West Michigan Academy of Environmental Science
Is there a kid at your house who loves animals? Consider:
• Black River Farm & Ranch
• The Humane Society of West Michigan
• The John Ball Zoo
Know any Lego fans? Put Bricks for Kidz on your list.
Girls should check out Girl Scouts. Athletes should consider MVP Sports. And let's not forget the Salvation Army Kroc Center for a full range of fun.
Parents, we're making it easy for you! Show up, ask questions, get answers, and get your kiddos enrolled. Remember – only you can prevent summer boredom.

At last, change - and a whiff of spring - are in the air.
For the last 2-1/2 years the marine industry, like the broad economy, has been struggling with recession and downsizing and change. Companies have disappeared. So have some brands. Others have changed hands. And more failures are likely to occur as businesses continue to right-size to fit reduced demand.
The phrase "creative destruction" has been used to describe the upheaval the economic meltdown caused. But there's a positive side to that term as well - and that is the innovation and entrepreneurial drive that accompany these periods of great change. In that vein, new models and methods for designing, building, servicing, distributing and selling boats and equipment are being formed. That's all good.
As tough and challenging as this churning has been, it's also inevitable and necessary for survival and growth, for moving forward. Several trends have been emerging concurrently. There has been a downsizing move since the economy first fell off a cliff - the idea that when it comes to boat size and propulsion, a little less may represent a lot more. Expect that to continue.
We're also seeing a shift back to basics, where the focus is on quality and utility, rather than on gadgets that merely push the cost of a boat higher without improving the overall experience of being on the water. Wisely, more people are saying "pass" to doodads better suited to life ashore.
And I expect continuing interest in hands-on projects, from kit boats to refits, repowers to upgrades. Many of us have fallen in love for a second (or third) time with our existing boats, improving, tweaking, even investing in a little Botox for our lovable tubs. At the same time, smart technology marches on. Innovation that brings value, safety, reliability and enhanced enjoyment to boating will drive product development, critical to improving the breed.
Here are a few recent examples of boats and propulsion that are part of the sea change under way.
"We would cut a path just 13 feet and 9 inches across this ocean, like a meteor wandering through the solar system."

George Thomas, MD
Department of Nephrology and Hypertension
Mehdi H. Shishehbor, DO, MPH
Specialist, Interventional Cardiology and Endovascular Interventions, Robert and Suzanne Tomsich Department of Cardiovascular Medicine
Resistant Hypertension is high blood pressure that is difficult to control despite being on blood pressure medications. High blood pressure can become very dangerous, and is one of the leading causes of heart disease and stroke. Besides making lifestyle changes and trying different medications, there are now promising novel therapies that can be used to treat resistant hypertension. Dr. Shishehbor, interventional cardiologist and Dr. Thomas, hypertension specialist answer your questions regarding high blood pressure and resistant hypertension.
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Welcome to our "Resistant Hypertension" online health chat with Dr. Mehdi H. Shishehbor and Dr. George Thomas . They will be answering a variety of questions on the topic. We are very excited to have them here today! Let's begin with the questions.
cellis: Can you provide some differentiation between essential hypertension and resistant hypertension other than treatability?
Dr__Thomas: Resistant hypertension is defined as blood pressure not at goal in spite of being on three optimal blood pressure medications with different modes of action, including a diuretic (water pill). It is arbitrarily defined in order to identify patients who may be at high risk of having a secondary cause of hypertension and who may benefit from a more thorough work up.
Francois: Does labile (episodic) hypertension where blood pressure spikes to different abnormal levels in response to even minor stimuli have to be treated? How is it treated?
Dr__Thomas: Blood pressure, by its very nature, can vary depending on stress, activity, caffeine, smoking, etc. However, if your blood pressure spikes to very high levels or you notice additional symptoms such as headaches, feeling your heart racing, sweating, etc you may need additional testing to look for underlying problems. A specialized center can also arrange to do 24 hr blood pressure monitoring which would give a better idea of the blood pressure pattern during the day as well as during sleep.
dancingwings46: I've heard about a supplement named Hawthorne, its supposed to naturally health with high blood pressure. Do you know anything about it and do you recommend supplements when taking high blood pressure medication?
Dr__Thomas: Many herbal supplements claim to lower blood pressure. As far as Hawthorne, small studies showed some trend towards lowering blood pressure but the effect was not significant. It is important to keep in mind that herbal supplements can have significant interactions with your regular blood pressure medications and any other medications that you may be taking, and you should discuss this with your doctor.
Duncan1: Can amlodipine and verapamil be taken concurrently?
Dr__Thomas: They both belong to the same family of medications. You may have a specific indication based on your medical history that your doctor has prescribed both for you.
kodajaws: I take several drugs for hypertension - some at night and others in the morning. My hypertension is always very high in the morning and lowers as the day goes on. Is this usual with chronic hypertension? I also have FMD with carotid involvement and have cardiac stents. Thank you
Dr__Thomas: Blood pressure has been shown to have a pattern - normally, blood pressure dips at night and as you wake up, blood pressure tends to be higher (called morning surge). A 24 hr monitor can be used to assess the pattern of blood pressure and how high it tends to go relative to your night-time readings. Very high blood pressures in the morning have been reported to occur in sleep apnea, kidney disease, overall poorly controlled blood pressure, etc. Long-acting medications that provide sustained coverage over 24 hrs can be better than short-acting formulations to try to 'smooth out' highs and lows.
medicmom: how does hydralazine work and what are the potential long term issues in its use?
Dr__Thomas: Hydralazine works by dilating the blood vessels. You may notice swelling of your legs as a common side effect. There may be rare effects such as hydralazine induced lupus.
Hydralazine is usually taken multiple times a day so compliance with this medication may be an issue if you forget to take it.
Chisena: Why do beta blockers (Bystolic) cause reflux?
Dr__Shishehbor: It is unlikely that beta blockers are causing your reflux. You should probably be evaluated for reflux disease.
brymorg: Can clonidine cause insomnia?
Dr__Shishehbor: I am not aware of clonidine causing insomnia. However all patients are different.
jrp: Given that all blood pressure medications have adverse effects on the body, i.e., liver or kidney damage, is there one group of medications that are less harmful than the others?
Dr__Shishehbor:We use a personalized approach to blood pressure management so what may be appropriate for one person may not necessarily be appropriate for another. Therefore there is not one class that is "the best".
leonaG: my blood pressure fluctuates from 190/92 to 150/72. I am on metropolol and lisinopril. This has been going on for about 2 weeks. what do you suggest?
Dr__Thomas: You may benefit from getting a 24 hr blood pressure monitor to assess patterns of highs and lows, and time of day during which this happens. You may need an additional medication to achieve goal blood pressure, which may include a long-acting formulation to help 'smooth out' highs and lows. Additionally, if you have very high spikes of blood pressure associated with headaches, sweating, racing heart, etc. you will need to speak to your doctor to get additional testing for underlying disorders.
jfuduric: I'm on three drugs-a beta blocker, a diuretic and an ace receptor blocker; my systolic BP is often 140-150. I'm 64 y/o;do I need another drug?
Dr__Shishehbor: I think you may be an excellent candidate for renal denervation. You will need to be evaluated by Dr. Thomas to assess your eligibility and to learn more about the study if you are interested.
pei2: I am on 3 blood pressure meds and bp reading is still high (metoprolol, furosemide and avapro). What can I do to bring the bp down?
Dr__Shishehbor: For all patients when seen by Dr. Thomas or our hypertension group are evaluated first for their appropriate management of their blood pressure. This could involve changing drugs; increasing the dose; adding additional medication; and lastly if appropriate be considered for novel therapies such as renal denervation or a stent procedure.
Since blood pressure has a significant impact on our health, we highly recommend that patients that do not have controlled blood pressure or are taking multiple medications to be seen by a hypertension expert. In our Institution, Dr. Thomas and his group are the experts in this area. If they feel it is necessary, then they will refer the patient to me to be considered for these novel minimally invasive therapies.
kodajaws: I take multiple medications for blood pressure. I have been having numerous episodes of sweating during the day and at night. Does this indicate another problem?
Dr__Shishehbor: Based on your earlier questions, you had indicated you also have FMD. I believe if you do have renal artery FMD and are taking a number of drugs I would highly recommend that you see either myself or Dr. Gornik in the Department of Vascular Medicine for evaluation.
The sweating could be related to the drugs you are taking but in my opinion it needs to be evaluated to determine your specific situation.
kodajaws: Thank you!
jrh236: You mentioned over the counter pain medication could cause blood pressure to rise. Can ibuprofen cause this?
Dr__Thomas: Yes - the class of medications called NSAIDs, which includes ibuprofen - can raise blood pressure.
brymorg: does tylenol have the same effect?
Dr__Thomas: Tylenol is not known to have the same effect as NSAIDS as far as raising blood pressure.
Duncan1: How important are diuretics in treating HTN?
Dr__Thomas: Diuretics are an important class of medication for use in hypertension management according to current US guidelines. To have a diagnosis of resistant hypertension, you would have uncontrolled blood pressure in spite of being on 3 different blood pressure medications including a diuretic.
saumil: What is the best ARB & beta-blocker recommended for treatment in the elderly (+80)
Dr__Thomas: Your specific medical condition and health status will have to be evaluated to decide on optimal therapy. Each of these classes has different medications which have different side effect profiles.
medicmom: Is hawthorne and its use in treating hypertension an area you are familiar with?
Dr__Thomas: I have answered this question previously regarding hawthorne. You should discuss all medications that you are taking with your doctor because of possible interactions.
medicmom: thank you.
drobin: 90 yr male. hypertension for about 60 years. Is age a limitation to the procedure? When will it be available"\? Can I join a test group?
Dr__Thomas: The renal denervation study (Symplicity HTN-3 trial) protocol specifies age limitations of 18 - 80 yrs old.
jrh236: What is the renal denervation study?
Dr__Shishehbor: Renal denervation involves a minimally invasive technique of threading a catheter through the blood vessels that supply your kidneys. Small bursts of energy are applied to "ablate" the renal nerves. Prior studies in Europe have shown promising results and favorable safety profile. After the procedure the catheter is removed and there are no devices left implanted in your body. This study is going to be done in the United States as a potential treatment option for difficult to control hypertension.
jellyjam92: What are the long term effects of ablating the renal artery?
Dr__Thomas: Prior studies in Europe and Australia have shown a favorable safety profile, with reports of patients who have been followed up to 2 years without untoward effects.
Charles: I am 52 years old. I have had high blood pressure for about 3 years now. I have been on many drugs - water pills, beta blockers and ace inhibitors and still the lowest I have gotten is 142/92 - but only for about a month - then back up. My EKG is normal. How can I get this under control? Would I be a candidate for that study?
Dr__Thomas: You may need additional medications or different combinations of medications depending on your specific medical history. Besides medications, it is important to note that lowering your salt intake, checking blood pressures correctly at home, reducing alcohol intake, and avoiding medications that can exacerbate your blood pressure (including some over the counter pain medications) also help in managing high blood pressure.
Dr__Shishehbor: We can help you decide whether you would be a candidate for the study - please contact our coordinator at 216-445-6397 - Sandra Gardenhire.
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Dr. Shishehbor and Dr. Thomas, can you please tell us a little more Symplicity trial?
Dr__Shishehbor: We are very excited about this study and its potential impact. The only way to get this therapy is through enrolling into this study. There will be 40 - 50 centers across the United States that will be offering this and we are fortunate enough to be one of them. Dr. Thomas, a Hypertension expert, and myself, a vascular interventionalist, will be conducting this study at the Cleveland Clinic.
We are happy to answer any questions related to this study via the study coordinator Sandra - 216-445-6397, or if your questions are not answered, please do not hesitate to email me through the Heart and Vascular Institute Resource Nurses - email@example.com.
georgeB: Is the study you are talking about the similar to the pacemaker device that is supposed to lower blood pressure?
Dr__Thomas: This is a different study. The pacemaker device that I think you are referring to involves implanting the device in your carotid artery. The current study uses a minimally invasive technique where a catheter is threaded into the arteries of your kidneys and small bursts of energy are applied to "ablate" the renal nerves. There is no device implantation involved. If you are interested in more study details or to see about participation, please contact our coordinator at 216-445-6397 - Sandra Gardenhire.
jrh236: What is considered very high bp levels?
Dr__Thomas: Goal blood pressure - if you have a diagnosis of hypertension - according to guidelines is less than 140/90. If you have diabetes or kidney disease, the goal is less than 130/80. Correct measurement is necessary to diagnose hypertension.
jrp: Is 120/80 a goal for all ages? I understand European and Asian physicians are not so concerned with considerably higher numbers.
Dr__Thomas: According to US Guidelines - JNC VII - the goal blood pressure is less than 140/90 if you have a diagnosis of hypertension and less than 130/80 if you have diabetes or kidney disease. Less than 120/80 is normal - but this is not a goal for treatment.
jrh236: What do you mean by correct measurement? I have peripheral artery disease. What should my goal bp be?
Dr__Thomas: Correct measurement at home would involve taking your blood pressure in a seated position with your legs uncrossed, your back supported, and your arm at heart level. You should ideally use a cuff that goes over your upper arm without clothing under the cuff. If you smoke or take caffeine you should wait at least 30 minutes to an hour prior to checking your blood pressure.
According to current guidelines, blood pressure goal in the absence of diabetes or kidney disease is less than 140/90.
bella_g: My blood pressure has always been high in the 150s and 160s - I am on a combination of a water pill and ace inhibitor and it is down to 146. My doctor seems to be pretty happy with that and I wonder if it is ok it is still not under 140.
Dr__Thomas: According to current guidelines followed in the US, goal blood pressure is less than 140/90 (and less than 130/80 if you have kidney disease or diabetes). You should discuss with your doctor regarding optimizing your regimen if your blood pressure is consistently higher. Other steps that you can take include low salt diet, weight loss, and moderation of alcohol intake. Some over the counter medications may influence blood pressure. Also, you should make sure that you are checking blood pressures correctly at home. Ideally, you should have a properly-fitting cuff that goes around your upper arm (not above clothing), you should be seated with your legs uncrossed and you back supported, your arm should be positioned at the level of your heart, and if you smoke or drink caffeine, wait at least 30 minutes to an hour before checking your blood pressure. Correct blood pressure measurements are important for proper management.
quail: Exactly what information can be gleaned from wearing a 24 monitor.
Dr__Thomas: A 24 hour monitor gives information about your average blood pressure through the day and night as well as specific patterns of highs and lows. Normally, blood pressure is lower at night and if there is no lowering or dipping this usually puts you at a higher risk of cardiovascular events.
This information can be obtained only with a 24 hour monitor. Your medications can be adjusted based on this information obtained with the 24 hour monitor.
Duncan1: Can cardiomyopathies play a role in hypertension or is HTN determined by artery resistance?
Dr__Shishehbor: Typically hypertension may cause cardiomyopathy however there are situations when they both can co-exist. Hypertension is multifactorial and arterial resistance can be one of the factors.
saumil: In the elderly population (especially +80) what treatment options are recommended
Dr__Shishehbor: There are other options including medical therapy and occasionally stenting of the renal arteries if there is evidence of renal artery blockage. We typically test for renal artery blockage when patients have elevated blood pressure despite taking multiple drugs.
charlene: My son is 17 years old and last time we were at the doctor's office he had high blood pressure. They have asked us to go home and keep checking it at home for the next week and then call the doctor. Is that strange for a 19 year old to have high blood pressure. We are going to watch his diet. He is going to walk regularly. What else?
Dr__Thomas: Younger individuals, especially those who do not have a significant family history of high blood pressure and are not overweight, should consider being worked up for 'secondary' causes of high blood pressure, which includes hormonal causes, vascular causes, and kidney disease - blood and urine tests are usually done to check for these causes. You should discuss getting these done with your doctor, depending on your specific medical history and health status. I would be happy to see your son - please contact my office.
kevin72: I read an article last month that said that kiwi fruit can lower high blood pressure. Are there other foods that are helpful in lowering blood pressure?
Dr__Thomas: This was a small study that suggested some benefit with kiwi fruit. While it would be prudent to include this as part of a heart healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low-fat dairy products and low in saturated and total fat (also called the DASH diet), it is unlikely that eating kiwi fruit is going to be the cure for high blood pressure. I would not recommend stopping any medications that you may be on for high blood pressure without checking your doctor. Additionally, kiwi fruit has a high potassium content, which could be harmful in patients with kidney disease. You should discuss this more with a dietician and your doctor. Lowering your salt intake is also an important factor in helping control your blood pressure
jfuduric: Is moderate caffeine intake OK with controlled HTN?
Dr__Thomas: Caffeine does cause a spike in blood pressure but the effect is usually short lived. It is unclear whether this can worsen long term hypertension.

Big Sam signals interest in signing Fowler
Bolton manager Sam Allardyce is ready to make a bid for Robbie Fowler in the summer.
Fowler wants to remain at Liverpool in the long-term and scored the winner on his 31st birthday when the two clubs met.
However his future remains uncertain and Allardyce would love to be able to afford to bring in the Anfield striker.
'You'd always think about a goalscorer like him, but it would depend on the big numbers,' Allardyce told Sky Sports.
'If he keeps on scoring for Liverpool, they will want to keep him.
'One of their problems has been scoring, but their defence is the ultimate and it is what we are trying to achieve.'

Our favorite French brand A.P.C. has released some new products in their online store. The drop consisted of the "Double Centimeter" bracelet. It looks like a measuring band and comes on premium leather in three colorways. The other release was the "Derbies", a really nice and classic suit shoe in black. Something that you just cannot go wrong with.
After the jump you can check out more detailed pictures of both products!

Climate Crimes
A Documentary by Ulrich Eichelmann
The fight against global warming should save our planet. Instead, it is speeding up the destruction of our nature and biodiversity.
Climate Crimes takes you behind the scenes of destructive energy policies disguised as green solutions to climate change.
Ulrich Eichelmann and his team visit the Mesopotamian Marshes in Iraq, the rainforests of the Amazon and Indonesia, Turkey's Southeast, as well as protected sites in Germany. All of them could be destroyed within the next decades due to hydropower plants, palm oil plantations and maize fields used to produce biofuel and biogas.
Yet Climate Crimes is a story of unique landscapes, rare species and of humans living in harmony with nature. It is a film about beauty and threats.
"This film will shake things up. Hopefully."
Christian Rathner, Austrian Broadcasting Corporation, ORF
"What is currently happening in the name of climate conservation and a green economy is really a rampage against the natural world, a slap in the face of ecological reason."
