Some thoughts on Jake DeBrusk’s Bruin future

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:33:16 GMT

In case you missed it, Bruins’ Twitter was briefly aflutter last week with the rumor of a possible trade that involved Jake DeBrusk being sent to the New York Islanders for Jean-Gabriel Pageau.Considering the two general managers that would be involved in such a deal – Don Sweeney and Lou Lamoriello – are not exactly known for their loose lips, chances are that little nugget was equal parts spitballing and speculation. Tis the season.But it won’t be the last time DeBrusk’s name pops up in trade talk.Such is life for a player of DeBrusk’s caliber who has just one year left on his contract before unrestricted free agency. Matt Grzelcyk, in the same boat, has been living with such rumors all summer.The B’s will have to figure out DeBrusk’s intentions fairly quickly. And they also have to suss out just how much they would be willing to pay for DeBrusk’s services. He won’t come as cheaply as the $4 million AAV that the B’s will be pay...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:33:16 GMT

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was recovering in a hospital on Sunday after an emergency heart procedure while opposition to his government’s contentious judicial overhaul plan reached a fever pitch and unrest gripped the country. Netanyahu’s doctors said on Sunday the heart pacemaker implantation went smoothly and that Netanyahu, 73, felt fine. According to his office, he was expected to be discharged later in the day. But tensions were surging as lawmakers began a marathon debate over the first major piece of the overhaul, ahead of a vote in parliament enshrining it into law on Monday.Mass protests were set to continue. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets across Israel on Saturday night, while thousands marched into Jerusalem and camped out near the Knesset, or parliament, ahead of Monday’s vote.Netanyahu’s sudden hospitalization added another dizzying twist to an already dramatic series of events that are ...

B.C. professor pushing plan to protect marbled murrelet habitat in old growth

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:33:16 GMT

It is only a little bird, weighing a few ounces, but the marbled murrelet is known for its remarkable ability to fly far out to sea to catch fish before returning in the darkness of night to inland treetop nests on mossy limbs.It also inspires outsized devotion among those who want to study and protect it.Royann Petrell of Courtenay on Vancouver Island has been an avid bird watcher since childhood, but in retirement she has taken up the cause of protecting the marbled murrelet’s habitat. The seabird has been listed as “threatened” for decades as habitat loss on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border adds to its precarious existence. Petrell’s birding activities have even landed her in court, fighting a logging company that put up gates in the contentious Fairy Creek area where protests over old-growth logging landed hundreds in handcuffs. Petrell, who’s a retired associate professor at the University of B.C. in the faculty of applied science, claimed the gates ...

I have to go to a grandniece’s wedding, and they are having a cocktail hour at a bar next door.I don’t want to go to a bar.My husband thinks it’s OK to go there and have a soft drink. For me, no. I don’t want to be seen in a bar and do not think it’s right for me to even pretend I’m drinking alcohol or put on the illusion of doing so.I want to set a good example for others and maintain my own standards.This wedding is being held in a casino, which I don’t care to go to either, but I am obligated.Would it be acceptable to just stay at the casino between the end of the ceremony and beginning of the reception? Or go to my car?I believe I am being led to stay out of the bar.NondrinkerDear Nondrinker: People who order soft drinks at bars are not pretending to drink alcohol. They are simply enjoying a soft drink at a venue that also serves alcohol.However, you are not obligated to attend the cocktail hour before the reception. This cocktai...
