    Swede dreams: Ducks’ Rickard Rakell, Jakob Silfverberg reunited as linemates
    ANAHEIM — Rickard Rakell wouldn’t give up. He chased down a loose puck at center ice, gained control and then began to perform some serious stickhandling wizardry as he weaved his way into the attacking zone, drawing three defenders to him as he reached the right faceoff circle.
    Before the Minnesota Wild could converge on him, Rakell slipped a cross-ice pass to Ducks teammate Jakob Silfverberg, who had skated into the clear on left wing. Silfverberg collected the pass and then whistl

    A polite debate has been underway in health planning circles over that question because while supply is relatively easy to quantify — we have about 350,000 RNs now and are graduating about 11,000 more each year — there’s no agreement on how to measure demand.

    More rate cuts would drive interest rates to near, or even below, zero. Lowering interest rates punishes people for saving, thus encouraging consumers and businesses to spend every penny they make. This may give the economy a short-term b
