At getting under an opponent's skin, too.
"He's actually a good hitter," said RW Pierre-Cedric Labrie, who tried to fight Rinaldo after the Flyer's encounter with Crombeen. "It's just sometimes he just doesn't think. At some point he has to pay for his bad behavior."
The regular-season series between the teams is over.
MORE INJURIES: Hedman played against Toronto and said his upper-body injury "is not a big issue." … LW Ben Pouliot (right shoulder), out nine games, might play this weekend, Boucher said. Pouliot said some movements still are "uncomfortable" but Wednesday's skate was "my best day."
PLAYING TIME: Under the radar against the Flyers was Carle getting 30:06 of ice time. It was the seventh time he played more than 30 minutes in an NHL game but the first in regulation.
"I slept pretty well the last couple of nights," he said. "Once you get into the flow of the game, your body takes over. You get caught up in the moment."
HOMECOMING: Cory Conacher, who grew up 25 miles south of Toronto in Burlington, Ontario, figured he had more than 100 family members and friends at the Air Canada Centre for his first game there as an NHL player.
"Very cool," said Conacher, but also "nerve-wracking."
C Steven Stamkos, another Toronto-area native, told Conacher to not lead teammates onto the ice for warmups. Stamkos, in his first game with Tampa Bay at the arena, accepted that honor. His teammates, as a joke, waited in the tunnel as Stamkos skated on his own until he realized what was going on.
"I learned that one the hard way," he said.
SIGNED: D Slater Koekkoek, drafted 10th overall in June, signed a three-year entry-level deal. Koekkoek, 19, played 42 games this season for Peterborough and Windsor of the junior Ontario league before a second surgery in two years on a torn labrum in his left shoulder.
ODDS AND ENDS: Labrie took Malone's spot in the line. … Defensemen Brian Lee and Marc-Andre Bergeron were scratched.
ICL Completes Acquisition Of 100% Of Fosbrasil S.A.
TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ICL (NYSE and TASE: ICL), a global manufacturer of products based on specialty minerals that fulfill essential needs of the world's growing population in the agriculture, processed food and engineered materials markets, today announced the completion of its previously announced acquisition of Vale Fertilizante's ("Vale") equity holding in Fosbrasil S.A., a Brazilian-based producer of downstream phosphate-based products including purified phosphoric acid for the food market and phosphate-based fertilizers ("Fosbrasil"). ICL and Vale were former joint venture partners in Fosbrasil. With ICL's acquisition of Prayon S.A's minority position in Fosbrasil, ICL now owns 100% of Fosbrasil.

Jonathan Pollard, the former U.S. Naval intelligence analyst whose conviction of spying for Israel stoked fierce international passions, has been granted parole and will be released from prison in November after nearly 30 years.
The decision to free Pollard from his life sentence, announced Tuesday by his lawyers and then confirmed by the Justice Department, caps an extraordinary espionage case after decades of legal and diplomatic wrangling. Critics have condemned the American as a traitor who betrayed his country for money and disclosed damaging secrets, while supporters have argued that he was punished excessively given that he spied for a U.S. ally.
The White House is in the "final stages" of a plan to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday.
President Barack Obama made the closure of the controversial offshore prison a priority when he took office in 2009, but the plan has faced numerous setbacks, including Congress blocking the transfer of detainees to U.S. prisons.
The White House launched a new Twitter account Tuesday to defend the Iran nuclear deal, as U.S. lawmakers prepared to debate the long-negotiated agreement.
In its inaugural tweet, @TheIranDeal linked to a resource page about the agreement between Iran and world powers to curb its nuclear program.
President Barack Obama spoke by phone Wednesday with Vladimir Putin, thanking his Russian counterpart for his role in reaching a deal on Iran's nuclear program.
U.S. ties with Russia have been strained to breaking point over the war in Ukraine, but Russia was an "important" part of the group of nations that negotiated the deal with Tehran.
U.S. President Barack Obama and Saudi Arabia's King Salman on Tuesday discussed the "urgent" need to end fighting in Yemen, hours after Saudi-backed loyalists retook control of Aden airport.
After discussion about a recently inked nuclear deal with Iran, the White House said Obama and Salman "also spoke about the urgency of stopping the fighting in Yemen and the importance of ensuring that assistance can reach Yemenis on all sides of the conflict."
U.S. President Barack Obama and the leader of Vietnam's Communist Party on Tuesday held what both called "candid" discussions on human rights during a historic White House meeting as the onetime enemies seek to bolster ties.
Nguyen Phu Trong is the first general secretary of the Vietnamese Communist Party to visit the United States and the White House, and was given the rare honor of an Oval Office welcome, usually reserved for heads of state and government.
The White House urged Greece and EU leaders Monday to find a compromise to keep the cash-strapped country in the eurozone, after Greeks voted resoundingly to reject an austerity-based bailout.
"The referendum is over, but our view here at the White House remains the same," said spokesman Josh Earnest.
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist and 2016 candidate for president, has applauded Greece's rejection of a bailout referendum at the height of the country's standoff with European Union creditors.
"I applaud the people of Greece for saying 'No' to more austerity for the poor, the children, the sick and the elderly," Sanders said in a statement late Sunday.
The head of Vietnam's Communist Party will make a first-ever visit to the White House next week, meeting President Barack Obama on the 40th anniversary of the end of the war between the two nations.
The landmark trip underscores strengthening ties between the former wartime enemies amid regional maritime tensions involving China.
Hillary Clinton announced Wednesday she raised a record $45 million in the first quarter of her U..S presidential bid, putting the Democratic frontrunner in prime financial position in the opening months of her 2016 campaign.
"Here's what we know: In the first quarter of this campaign, supporters gave more than $45 million," Clinton wrote in a tweet.
HALLE, Germany (AP) Yuichi Sugita of Japan upset third-seeded Dominic Thiem 6-2, 7-5 at the grass-court Gerry Weber Open on Wednesday.
The 52nd-ranked Sugita forced 13 break opportunities and took three as he advanced to a quarterfinal against American qualifier Denis Kudla.
Kudla defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 6-4 in their second-round match.
Seventh-seeded Kei Nishikori lost 6-2, 6-2 to Karen Khachanov of Russia.
Fourth-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut stayed in control against Robin Haase, winning 6-4, 7-5, and the Spaniard will next face Khachanov.
Defending champion Roger Federer plays Benoit Paire in the second round on Thursday.
(LHC), a 17-mile long (27-km) underground ring near Geneva where researchers speed up subatomic particles and crash them into each other, is due to start up again Feb. 21 after a winter hiatus. The break allowed engineers to perform maintenance and repairs on the machine's sensitive superconducting magnets, which cause charged particles to accelerate along the loop.
When it starts up again, LHC will work up to more powerful levels than reached before, creating more collisions and more data that could reveal new secrets of the workings of the universe.
"Our job here is to try to understand the fundamental building blocks of nature and what are the rules for putting them together," said physicist Aaron Dominguez of the University of Nebraska, a member of LHC's Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment, during a Wednesday (Feb. 16) National Science Foundation press conference. "If we find the Higgs boson in the next few years, it's not immediately clear to us how this new knowledge of how the world works is going to benefit us." But the finding could have profound ramifications for science and technology, he said.
The elusive Higgs boson – sometimes called the God Particle because of the power it is thought to wield – has only been theorized, never detected. But scientists hope that could change as the LHC comes into its full potential.
The Higgs particle is thought to be responsible for giving other particles mass, and its discovery could help answer the fundamental riddle of why some particles are more massive than others.
Researchers aren't sure exactly how much mass the Higgs boson would have, if it exists. But its mass is related to the energy required to create it. The LHC, as the world's largest particle accelerator, may be the only machine that can speed up particles fast enough, and thus collide them in explosions strong enough, to produce the Higgs.
By the end of 2012, the LHC should have created collisions powerful enough to probe most of the mass range the Higgs is theorized to inhabit.
"Which means that if we don't see anything, we would be able to exclude that region," said Columbia University's Gustaaf Brooijmans, a member of LHC's ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) experiment team. And that, too, would be an interesting result.
In addition the Higgs boson, the scientists are searching for many other juicy bits of undiscovered physics. For example, the teams are also looking for signs of rare particles called top quarks.
These are relatives of the up and down quarks (two different flavors of quarks) that form regular old protons and neutrons. Yet top quarks are much, much heavier. Because of their mass and instability, top quarks are not found in nature these days, though they would have existed in the very first fractions of a second after the Big Bang.
Some top quarks have been produced at other particle accelerators such as particle accelerator Fermilab's Tevatron in Batavia, Ill. But LHC offers the promise of producing many more – hopefully enough to learn more about why these particles are so much more massive than their relatives.
"Why they seem to have these very different scales is a clue that we haven't understood everything about the way matter is put together," Dominguez said. "It's one of the first things that we look for here at LHC."

Johnny Cash, "American Recordings V: A Hundred Highways"
Less than two months after the arrival of "Personal File," the flood of Johnny Cash material continues unabated with "American V: A Hundred Highways." This new album contains the last music Cash recorded before he died. Not surprisingly, it makes for a heavy listen.
The album is such heavy going that critics have no choice but to focus on the its melancholy gravitas, but they've turned out a largely favorable batch of reviews. The Village Voice's review, grandly titled "The New Johnny Cash Album Will Tear Your Soul Apart," refers to "American V" as "one of the most depressing albums" the critic has "ever heard." Rolling Stone (rating: 4 stars) follows suit, writing that the album "feels like a deathbed benediction."
The album may not be easy listening, but it has its rewards. The Pitchfork review (rating: 7.8/10) gives some indication as to why: "[The album] is a satisfying and often moving final chapter to Cash's life and career, one that rejects self-pity and remorse in favor of hopefulness and even celebration." The L.A. Times also spotlights some of the album's lighter moments, but noted that even the levity was the result of "a man smiling in the face of death."
In the end, PopMatters (rating: 7/10) explicates what many other reviewers only imply, writing that "it's impossible to listen to this record without placing it in the context of its creation," and that as such, the album "stands as a fitting, gentle coda, a farewell from a major talent."
TV on the Radio, "Return to Cookie Mountain"
TV on the Radio made a bit of a splash in the indie-rock community with the release of their debut album, "Young Liars," in 2003. The next year's "Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes" made enough of an impression that the band was picked up by Interscope, the label on which the Brooklyn, N.Y., act has just released the highly praised, if unfortunately titled, "Return to Cookie Mountain."
The band has been lauded for the intelligence of its music, which draws on influences from art rock to doo wop. As the Guardian (rating: 4 stars) puts it: "'Return to Cookie Mountain' is largely a delight -- an experimental album with a pop heart that avoids self-indulgence." The band's eclecticism was also praised in a Rolling Stone feature, which described "Cookie Mountain" as being evocative of both "My Bloody Valentine's noisy dream pop and Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On,' with songs that effuse pastoral beauty as they take off into uncharted territory."
The online response has been even more positive, with Drowned in Sound (rating: 9/10) attributing a zeitgeist-capturing power to the album, breathlessly calling it "a party soundtrack for a fucked-up generation and an opus that inhabits the midpoint between scarcely conjoining circles of eclecticism and enjoyability whilst maintaining consistency throughout."
Not bad for a band the Observer Music Monthly (rating: 4 stars) singled out as being "one of the few groups who could toss a word like 'unconjoined' into their lyrics without sounding like tossers."
Integrated film studio Eros International Media Ltd and Red Chillies Entertainment are set to release Shah Rukh Khan’s most ambitious project Ra.One on 26 October 2011. The countdown to the film’s release marks the culmination of one of the biggest marketing blitzkrieg for any Indian film ever, embarked upon by Eros and Shah Rukh Khan with brand tie-ups to the tune of Rs52 crore.
The country’s biggest brand SRK and leading film studio Eros have come together, jointly exploiting the film’s potential and additional revenue streams making Ra.One the first of its kind landmark film. The marketing spends on Ra.One have been subsidised considerably through major brand tie-ups in excess of 25 brands. These include Sony PlayStation, YouTube, Nerolac, McDonald’s, Western Union Money Transfer, UTV Indiagames, Videocon, Nokia, Coke, ESPN Star Sports and Cinthol amongst others.
Eros International and Red Chillies have already recovered a major portion of their investments through in-film branding, media endorsements and through pre-licensing cable and satellite rights, music and other rights. Eros International is planning a very wide release for the super hero action packed film in 2D and 3D formats in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu with over 3500 screens worldwide, out of which around 500 screens are expected to be in 3D in India and approximately 50 plus 3D screens overseas.
In the late afternoon, Eros International Media Ltd was trading at around Rs259.90 per share on the Bombay Stock Exchange, 3.16% up from the previous close.

New Delhi: Describing the present level of inflation as too high for comfort, the finance ministry today said it would come down to 7% by end-March 2012, reports PTI.
“I expect around 7% (inflation) by March-end. It (current inflation) is too high from comfort level,” economic affairs secretary R Gopalan told reporters here.
Overall inflation increased to 9.72% in September 2011 from 8.98% in the year-ago period, as prices of food and manufactured items continued to escalate.
However, general inflation, as measured by the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), was marginally lower than the 9.78% figure recorded for August.
The year-on-year rise in inflation has raised the prospects of another rate hike by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) later this month. The central bank has already hiked rates 12 times since March 2010 to tame inflation, which is hovering stubbornly near double-digit levels.
The RBI has already said that controlling inflation is its main priority and a change in its tight monetary policy stance would depend upon softening of prices.
Indian Overseas Bank has launched co-branded IOB-SB Student Card. The card is a Visa credit card. Students from 16 years of age and above can apply for the card. The minimum balance requirement is Rs500 and the maximum amount is Rs50,000. The maximum balance restriction will be removed after the account holder attains 18 years of age.
Window to the arts: Students from the Center for Family Life, a Sunset Park-based do-good organization, collaborated with architects from the Leroy Street Studio to design sculptural window screens for Sunset Park’s interim branch of the Brooklyn Public Library.
These windows are something to look at!
Brooklyn Public Library bigwigs on Dec. 13 revealed a set of decorative window screens that local teens created to adorn panes of the system’s interim Sunset Park branch.
The young adults — all of whom participate in programs run by local do-good group the Center for Family Life — worked with professional architects to craft the screens, which the library system’s president said capture the spirit of the ever-changing neighborhood.
