The Costa Rican has grown on to become a key member of the squad at the Karaiskakis stadium, after having joined them in the summer on a loan.

Olympic Hockey Turns Teammates Into Opponents

Fast. The Czechs will face the Swedes on Wednesday, just four days after Boston beat Ottawa 7-2 in one of the NHL's last matchups before its Olympic break. David Krejci and Loui Eriksson both had two assists for the Bruins in the rout. On Wednesday, the forwards will be playing against each other and for their countries — Krejci for the Czech Republic and Eriksson for Sweden.

On The Downbeat

The old distinctions among art, pop and outright schlock don’t matter to some fans. But they matter to record companies, for a simple reason: crossover sells, the pure product doesn’t. These are tough times for art music, both classical and jazz, once called “America’s classical music”–a sobriquet that sounds more and more like an epitaph. (The jazz world’s equivalent of Classical Crossover is the Smooth Jazz of such musicians as saxophonist Kenny G....

On The Net Anything Goes

The decision had resonance far beyond dirty pictures. This was the first time that the highest court had contemplated the status of the key medium of the next century. Instead of regarding the Net with the caution the court usually shows while exploring new frontiers, the justices went out of their way to assure that this most demo- cratic of mediums (where ““any person… can become a town crier… [or] pamphleteer,’’ the court gushed) would receive the highest level of protection....

On Wall Street Don T Cry For Henry Blodget

But don’t cry for Blodget. Or even feel sorry for him. Remember that at the end of the day, he’s still famous, and he’s still rich. Merrill Lynch gave him multimillion-dollar paydays while he was hot, and he’s leaving with a severance package reportedly worth $2 million. Plus, he has a book contract. And unless he was foolish enough to put all his money into his own stock picks, he’s a multimillionaire....

Once More Unto The Breach

Well, the 20th century is over and the kooks won. All of those trendy lefty intellectuals turned out to be clueless about politics, economics and human nature, though of course many could never admit it. Whatever their excesses, the hard-liners were closer to the mark. I thought of Captive Nations Week last week when I was in Miami interviewing people in the crowd outside the Gonzalez house. These Cuban-Americans are wrong to resist returning Elian to his father and, despite Gloria Estefan and Andy Garcia, decidedly unhip....

One Piece A Closer Look At Zoro Chopper S Underrated Bromance

Zoro isn’t the friendliest of the Straw Hats; he is the most hardheaded and hard-hearted in the crew. Perhaps the mental strain of the rigorous training and the loss of Kuina, his East Blue competitor as a boy, shaped him into the stoic man he is now. And the interpersonal relationship between Chopper and Zoro almost immediately started in Alabasta. Chopper has faced discrimination throughout his life on Drum Island, even among his own kind, because of his altered physical appearance (blue nose)....
