I drove down the coast from Cannes on a cloudy but luminous afternoon. Along the Corniche road skirting the Massif de l’Esterel, slate blue, white topped waves were crashing in over the rusty rocks, and palms in villa gardens were lashing in the wind. Set back from the coast, the great scrub covered peaks of the Massif looked truly wild, as they never quite do in summer..

Even if you belong to a managed care group such as an HMO, you may not be covered for certain types of treatment. Say, for instance, that you’d like to pursue an “experimental” form of treatment for a serious disease. If your HMO doesn’t expressly state so in its literature, it likely won’t help you defray even a portion of the cost.

Traveling through space at warp drive or hyper drive (or hyper active in Spaceballs) would shift the wavelengths of visible light to the invisible X ray spectrum. Microwave radiation would then shift to the visible spectrum allowing speedy travelers to see the normally invisible microwave radiation as visible light. And since microwave radiation is all over the place, it would light up everything the eye can see in front of it..

And Canada are the only multiple gold medal winners since then.At the NHL draft, the total number of Canadians picked has dropped below 100 the last three years, the first time that has happened in, like, forever. In 1995, Canada had 138 players taken in the draft.The Americans had 16 selected.Since then coinciding with the USA Hockey decision to centralize its under 17 and under 18 teams starting in 1996, under the National Team Development Program banner the number of Americans drafted has climbed steadily through the decade (2000 2009), topping 60 players in five of those 10 years, 59 in another and never less than 45.We seen the number of Canadians taken dip to decades low levels.We call them “damn Yankees,” tongue in cheek, of course.But in the depths of this lockout, Canadians might be feeling like hockey at its highest levels the game whose character reflects what we perceive to be our own, unflinching in a sometimes cruel and cold environment, the game we nurtured before sending it out into the world is slipping away from us.And it not the Russians, who first made us realize hockey was not ours to exclusively dominate. Instead, it America which has slipped an arm around hockey shoulder and is whispering sweet nothings in its ear.On a Saturday night at the First Niagara Center in late September, 40 top American prospects squared off in the first CCM All American Prospects Game, a showcase that saw the rink jammed with NHL scouts and general managers like Brian Burke of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ray Shero of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Americans themselves.Just the fact the Americans can put together a game of 40 prospects, including big Portland Winterhawks defenceman Seth Jones, projected at this point to perhaps go first overall at next summer NHL draft, shows how remarkably far the game has grown over the last decade south of the border.
