Aaron Rodgers JerseyTALLINN - Russias Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin won their second ice dancing gold at the European figure skating championships here on Friday. Premier Andre Johnson Jersey . They took the title ahead of Italys Federica Faiella and Massimo Scali with defending champions Jana Khokhlova and Sergei Novitski of Russia winning bronze after the free skating final. The world champions, who created controversy this week by their "Aboriginal" original dance, reclaimed the title they won in 2008 with a dramatic free dance to The Double Life of Veronique by Zbigniew Preisner. As in the original dance they placed second behind the Italians but sealed victory as a result of the comfortable margin they had built up in the opening days compulsory dance in which Faiella and Scali placed third. It is the first international competition this season for the Olympic favourites who missed the Grand Prix series because of Shabalins recurring knee problems. "Everything went according to plan," said Shabalin. "Were now looking forward to the Olympic Games." Their routine included innovative lifts and moves with Domninas costume including an acrobatic belt which allowed Shabalin to swing his partner around in their first rotational lift. But the judges preferred the Italians more classical routine placing the Russians second in the free dance with 94.98 for an overall score of 199.25.Faiella and Scali scored 96.71 for their moving routine to Nino Rotas The Emigrants, giving them 195.86 overall, and their third straight silver at the Europeans. Khokhlova and Novitski, in fourth after the original dance, snatched bronze for Stravinskis Firebird after their podium rivals Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat of France made mistakes in their routine. The title is Russias third of the championships after Yevgeny Plushenko claimed his sixth mens title and Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov won the pairs earlier in the week. The competition winds up on Saturday with the womens free skating final with two-time winner Carolina Kostner of Italy in pole position ahead of Finnish duo Kiira Korpi and Laura Lepisto, the defending champion.

The 30-year-old Pacquiao knocked out Englands Ricky Hatton with a ferocious left hook to the jaw late in the second round, abruptly ending the light welterweight bout in Las Vegas. The killer punch sparked a frenzy of celebrations across the Philippines. "The fighter wholl bring down Manny hasnt been born yet," said Melissa Palaran, who was selling corn cobs outside a Manila basketball stadium, where 15,000 Filipinos watched the match on six huge screens. "Even the U.S. president cant beat Pacquiao. Manny for president," motorcycle taxi driver Jesus Guasis said. Guasis mounted his taxi and drove back to Manilas streets, which were nearly empty of traffic. In a country that has grappled with deep financial problems and political divisions for years, Pacquiao has created a fanatical following that bridges the divide between rich and poor. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, a leading backer, has welcomed him back with a red carpet at her palace after each of his victories. Arroyo and other Philippine officials, who were meeting potential investors in Egypt, broke into cheers when told about Pacquiaos win. She has often cited his phenomenal rise to world fame fromm being a street vendor. Steelers Jersey womens. "May this victory inspire all Filipinos to triumph against all odds," Arroyo said. Retired public school teacher Evangeline Fernandez, clasping a rosary, watched the bout for free in a government gymnasium in Manilas Tondo slum district. She thanked Pacquiao for uniting the Filipinos even for six minutes and drawing the peoples mind off long-nagging problems like government corruption. "Thank you so much Manny for giving us a good name," Fernandez said. Muslim rebel spokesman Eid Kabalu said many members of the 11,000-strong Moro Islamic Liberation Front, the largest Muslim guerrilla group in the countrys volatile south, trooped back to their communities to watch the bout. While ecstatic over the result, the rebels thought Pacquiao ended the fun too quickly. "They came from the fields. They havent even warmed their seats and it was over," Kabalu said. "I wish our rebellion can be done as quickly." Army soldiers gathered by the hundreds in military stadiums in the capital to support Pacquiao, who is a reserve officer. The military congratulated Pacquiao and urged Filipinos to heed his call for unity. Many policemen were warned not to leave their posts and told to settle for a replay of the bout, envying colleagues who were deployed to live telecasts in Manila stadiums to guard against pickpockets.

. He can score really well. The Kings have him inked until 2013. Aaron Rodgers JerseyMONTREAL -- Andy Murray had already reached his primary objective a day earlier, so Sundays victory at the US$3 million Rogers Cup was a bonus. Bears Hester Jersey . The Scotsman outlasted an exhausted Juan Martin Del Potro to win Sundays final 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 6-1, but afterwards he said what he will remember most of his week in Montreal will be that he climbed to No. 2 in the world rankings for the first time. "I love winning tournaments, its great, and every player will tell you the same thing," said Murray. "But its tough because Ive never been to No. 2 in the world before, so thats new to me. Ive won a couple of Masters Series (events) now, and it still feels great. But getting to No. 2, maybe because its something different it means a little bit more." The 22-year-old Murray was assured prior to the final of leapfrogging Rafael Nadal into the second spot when the ATP Tour rankings are released Monday. The victory gave Murray an additional 400 ranking points to get him to 9,250 compared to 11,040 for world No. 1 Roger Federer and 8,665 for Nadal. Murray matched his career best from last season with his fifth tournament win of the year -- becoming the first Briton ever to win in Canada -- and improved his record to 11-4 against top-10 players this season. He took time off to train in Florida after a bitterly disappointing loss to Andy Roddick in the semi-final at Wimbledon, and Murray couldnt have drawn up a better return to the court. "Its a perfect way to come back," he said. "It goes one of two ways. Losing to Roddick, theres no shame in that to start with. I could have gone away and become a worse player and not work on anything, or go and practice harder and become better so the same thing doesnt happen the next time around." Del Potro, 20, was looking for his second straight tournament victory after winning in Washington, D.C., a week earlier. He also squandered an opportunity to jump past Roddick into fifth in the world rankings. The Argentine says he still hasnt reached the point where he can consider himself to be in the same class as Murray, Nadal or Federer. "I need to work hard to be like them," Del Potro said. "I can play against them, but I need to improve my game a lot if I want to be top-four, or top-two or No. 1." The match turned when a fatigued Del Potro called for the trainer to work on a sore shoulder while up 6-5 in the second set. After the medical timeout, Murray held serve at love and then won the tiebreak to extend the match. Del Potro left the court for several minutes following that second set and was clearly not the same player upon his return, falling behind 4-0 in the third set. Del Potro did break Murray to get it to 4-1, but called for the trainer again before Murray broke Del Potro to go up 5-1 and then serve out the match. Del Potro said a combination of that nagging shoulder injury, the physical strain of playing nine matches in 13 days and the stifling heat Sunday in Montreal was too much for him to overcome physically. "I was so tired (in the third set)," he said. "I had my chances in the second set tiebreak, but I didnt take them." After needing two hours 17 minutes to play the first two sets, Murray needed only 25 minutes to win the decisive third set with Del Potro clearly labouring on court. "Before the match I felt like I was probably going to be physically stronger," Murray said. "He was obviously tired (in the third set) and I made a lot of returns which I hadnt really been doing. His serve slowed down a little bit and I made more returns. I served well at the beginning of the third set to make sure I stayed ahead, and that was the only difference." The tightly-contested match under hot, muggy conditions pleased the sellout crowd of 11,490 at Uniprix Stadium, bringing the total attendance for the event to 200,077. That broke the attendance record for a one-week ATP event of 185,252 set here in 2007. Murray didnt drop a set in the tournament -- his first since Wimbledon -- until Del Potro won the first set Sunday in a tiebreak. Murray had his serve broken only twice coming into the final, and he held form in the first set losing only eight points on his serve. But the eighth was a critical one as it was the only mini-break of the tiebreak, and Del Potro went on to serve out the set with a 7-4 tiebreak win. Murray and Del Potro exchanged service breaks to start the second set, but both held serve the rest of the way to get into a second straight tiebreak. This time, Murray won three points off the tiring Del Potros serve while losing only one of his own service points to win the tiebreak 7-3. In doubles play, Indias Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles of the Bahamas defeated Max Mirnyi of Belarus and Israeli Andy Ram 6-4, 6-3. Knowles, who was the longtime partner of Torontos Daniel Nestor before the pair split in 2007, won his first doubles title in Canada since 1993 when he partnered with Jim Courier. For Bhupathi, it was his fifth career doubles win in Canada. Bhupathi and Knowles -- the tournaments third seed -- dominated their service games, not allowing a single break point in the match.

LONDON: Leaders from the Group of 20 (G20) rich and emerging nations arrived yesterday in London for a summit that aimed to reach an agreement over pulling the world out of the worst crisis since the 1930s. Leaders were busy holding bilateral talks with one another and called for unity to handle the crisis. But differences are visible, with the United States and the United Kingdom pitted against the European countries over the balance between extra financial stimulus and the need for regulation, as emerging countries call for a bigger say. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has threatened to walk out of the summit, said yesterday that neither France nor Germany was satisfied with current proposals for an accord at the summit and warned that he would not accept any false compromises. I will not associate myself with a summit that would end with a communique made of false compromises that would not tackle the issues that concern us, he told Europe 1 radio in an interview.

New York Giants Victor Cruz Jersey. Make no mistake, we are facing the most severe economic crisis since World War II, and the global economy is now so fundamentally interlinked that we can only meet this challenge together, Obama said. But he insisted that while the summit had a duty to produce the most substantive outcome possible, the separation between the various parties has been vastly over-stated. Obama has said stimulus and regulation are needed but the US could not shoulder all the responsibility for creating new growth. German chancellor Angela Merkel voiced her concern before leaving Berlin. I am going to London with a mixture of confidence and concern. Concern on one hand on whether we can really react to the serious situation ... Confident, however, that ... we cannot stick our heads in the sand, she said. Merkel has spoken out against governments like the US and Britain spending their way out of the crisis. But her fears were dismissed by Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso, whose country has spent massively over the past decade, seeking to reignite the economy. Because of our experience of the past 15 years, we know what is necessary, while countries like the US and European countries may be facing this sort of situation for the first time, Aso told the Financial Times newspaper.    Previous 1 2 Next Page      Previous 1 2 Next Page   ' ' '

Aaron Rodgers JerseyBoise, ID (Sports Network) - Hunter Haas fired a seven-under 64 on Sunday to come from behind and earn the victory at the Boise Open at Hillcrest Country Club. Eli Manning Jersey . Haas finished at 21-under-par 263 and won by a single stroke over third-round leader Daniel Summerhays, who posted a three-under 68 in Sundays final round. The victory was Haas fourth on the Nationwide Tour and second this year. He captured the Price Cutter Charity Championship a few weeks back, so one other title on tour this year would get him an automatic promotion to the PGA Tour. If Haas cant pull off another trip to the winners circle, it likely will not matter. He started the week 12th on the money list and with the $130,500 first-place check from Sunday, Haas is expected to climb to fourth on the Nationwide Tour money list. The top 25 get 2010 PGA Tour cards and fourth place, this late in the season, should be enough to guarantee a return to the tour for Haas. "Its special," said a clearly emotional Haas in a television interview. "I played really well all week. Yesterday I had some elementary bogeys. I corrected that today. I just got it done." Summerhays missed an opportunity to get his second tour win, but first as a professional. He captured the 2007 Childrens Hospital Invitational as an amateur, but had his chances Sunday. He was three ahead of Haas at the start of the final round and flew out of the gate on Sunday. Summerhays rattled off three straight birdies from the second and when his 60-foot bomb at the fourth fell, he was three in front. But Haas started well also. He birdied three of his first five holes and cut the gap to two when a long birdie effort of his own fell at the par-four seventh. Haas sank a 20-foot birdie putt at the ninth and matched Summerhays in the top spot at 20-under with a 25-foot birdie putt at No. 10. Summerhays couldnt record another birdie and the pair was tied through the back nine. At the par-five 16th, Haas rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt to take the lead at 21-under par. He parred out, then waited for Summerhays to finish. Summerhays never hit anything close enough to give him a good look at birdie, so it came down to the last hole. Summerhays split the fairway at the last, but his approach went long and right. He needed to hole the chip to force a playoff, but it came up eight feet short. The title was Haas and the trip to the PGA Tour is imminent. "I just tried to make as many birdies as I could," said Haas. "Thats the approach Ive been taking the last couple of months. Be aggressive and try to win." Jhonattan Vegas (66), Keegan Bradley (68), Kirk Triplett (69) and John Mallinger (69) shared third place at minus-17.

Forsberg plans to attend the Avalanches celebration to mark the 15th anniversary of their 1996 Stanley Cup championship on Oct. BOSTON -- He was a prolific producer of rebounds and record albums. And nicknames, too, as if at seven-foot-one and 350 pounds he was too big for the simple "Shaq" that made him an instantly recognizable, one-name star in all of his endeavours. Shaquille ONeal had more than 28,000 points and almost four million Twitter followers. He appeared in six NBA finals, three times as the MVP, and seven feature films, twice in a starring role. A 15-time all-star, four-time champion and the 2000 NBA Most Valuable Player, the 39-year-old ONeal announced his retirement on Twitter on Wednesday after spending most of his 19th season on the Boston Celtics bench, in street clothes because of leg injuries. Along with a mid-afternoon tweet saying, "im retiring," ONeal included a link to a 16-second video of him saying, "We did it; 19 years, baby. Thank you very much. Thats why Im telling you first: Im about to retire. Love you. Talk to you soon." An inveterate prankster who gave himself a new nickname -- or several -- in each of his six NBA cities, ONeal did not notify his latest team, leaving it wondering about his plans. He played just 37 games this season, the first of a two-year deal at the veterans minimum salary, making just three brief appearances after Feb. 1. "Hes a giant," commissioner David Stern said Wednesday at the NBA finals in Miami. "Hes physically imposing; he has an imposing smile. In the game, he imposed his will, and he has done it for quite a long time. Its been a great run here, and were going to miss him greatly. We hope we can find ways to keep him involved in the game." ONeal, 39, retires fifth all-time with 28,596 points, 12th with 13,099 rebounds, and a .582 field goal percentage that is second only to Artis Gilmore among players with more than 2,000 baskets. His free throw percentage of .527 -- well, now is not the time to dwell on that. "Im a little bit sad," said Heat president Pat Riley, who also coached ONeal when he won a title in Miami and watched Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Mourning when they retired. "Its been an honour to be part of coaching great, great players. And he will go down as one of the greatest of all time." Appropriately, ONeals retirement became the No. 1 trending topic on the social networking site he embraced by early evening, and his former teammates and opponents took to Twitter to wish him luck. "Shaq not only dominated the game of basketball but also dominated off the court w/ his big personality. Hes 1 of the greatest entertainers," Magic Johnson said. "Thank you Shaq for leading the Lakers to 3 titles. We loved every minute of it!" ONeal spent three years at Louisiana State and was the big prize when the Orlando Magic won the 1992 draft lottery and selected him first overall. He took them from the lottery to the playoffs in two years, and then led them to the NBA finals in his third year before they were swept by the Houston Rockets. ONeal signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1996 and had his greatest success there, winning three titles alongside Kobe Bryant and coach Phil Jackson. But amid tension between ONeal and Bryant after a loss to the Detroit Pistons in the finals, ONeal was traded to the Heat in the summer of 2004. "I often wonder how many they wouldve won if he stayed," said Johnson, the Lakers Hall of Famer. LLakers owner Jerry Buss, who decided to break up the tandem and keep Bryant, thanked ONeal for a "long and amazing career, with a huge impact both on and off the court. Premier Brian Cushing Jersey. ." "His contributions were significant to the entire NBA, but we specifically appreciate what he did with and what he meant to the Lakers during his eight years with us," Buss said. "We have three championships that we wouldnt have won without him, and we will forever be grateful for his significant contributions to those teams." After 3 1/2 years in Miami, a tenure that included his fourth NBA championship, ONeal became a veteran for hire, moving to Phoenix and then Cleveland and finally Boston. But he couldnt deliver another title for Victorias Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire with the Suns, with LeBron James with the Cavaliers, or with the Celtics Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. At each stop, he endeared himself to the fans and his new teammates with his effervescent smile and playful attitude, including the habit of adopting a new nickname he felt embodied his role with his new team. In Phoenix he was the "Big Shaqtus"; in Boston, the "Big Shamroq." "What a career for Shaq Diesel!!" James wrote on Twitter. "The most dominating force to ever play the game. Great person to be around as well. Comedy all the time!!" ONeal embraced social networking, amassing more than 3.8 million followers on his Twitter account and keeping them informed on his "random acts of Shaqness" -- like sitting in Harvard Square, pretending to be a statue, or going out in drag on Halloween. But ONeals off-court persona couldnt disguise the fact he was getting old, and while he showed he could still play with younger opponents, he couldnt manage to stay on the court with them. He missed a week in November with a bruised right knee, a week in December with a calf injury, and another in January with a sore right hip. He returned for three games -- a total of about 34 minutes -- before missing the next 27 games with what the team called a sore right leg. Although the injury was originally expected to keep him out just a few games, his absence stretched to more than two months. He returned to play in one more regular-season game, but lasted just five minutes, 29 seconds before reinjuring the leg and limping off the court. He missed Bostons entire first-round series against the New York Knicks and made two appearances against Miami, a total of 12 minutes, and scored two points. In all, ONeal averaged just 9.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 20.3 minutes this season -- all career lows. "Im glad that he retired. I think it was time," former guard Tim Hardaway said. "He was hurting his legacy. You dont want to see anybody hurt their legacy when theyre going out. I think a lot of people are happy he didnt go through that pain of waiting too long. And I think it was tough for everybody to watch Shaq when he was playing hurt like that at the end of this season." And that left ONeal in the market for a new nickname. After announcing his retirement, he asked fans to give him a nickname that befit his retirement. He reported at about 5 p.m. that "The Big 401K" was the leader. "I know you can do better, though," he said in another video. "Im here all day. Im retired." ' ' '

The Padres wasted chances with at least one runner in scoring position in the each of the first three innings. In the third, with men on the corners, Ryan Ludwick fanned for the final out.

. - Even after surrendering a power-play goal in the closing seconds of the second period, Sheldon Souray and the Edmonton Oilers knew theyd get their chance. Aaron Rodgers Jersey BEIJING - Outside the consulting room of a maternity hospital in Nanjing, an expectant mother, surnamed Lin, was trying to persuade a doctor to perform a cesarean section on her. Steelers 84 Jersey . My stomach hurts a lot, Lin said, looking hopefully into the eyes of the doctor. Please expedite the delivery. Two nurses take care of newborn infants in No 1 Peoples Hospital in Xiangfan city, Hubei province, on Aug 27. [Gong Bo for China Daily] After a physical examination, the doctor found Lin did not have any physical parturient symptoms, and she only wanted a C-section so that her child, who was due on Sept 5, could be born before Sept 1, the cut-off date for primary school admissions. Related readings: C-section rates highest in China, reasons mixed C-section epidemic hits China: WHO After C-section, stitches or staples? Lin is not the only pregnant woman who wants her child to be born before Sept 1. Its the same case every year at the end of August, said Wang Xin, head of the maternity department of the Nanjing Maternity and Child Health Hospital. Primary schools in China only give admission to children who turn 6-years-old on or before Aug 31. Those born later - even on Sept 2 - have to wait a full year before entering school. August saw a 17-percent jump in the number of C-sections compared with July in the Weihai maternity hospital in Shandong province, according to hospital records. Shan Ruiqin, director of the maternity department at the Jinan Maternity and Child Health Hospital, said nearly 900 babies were born in the hospital in August, compared with a monthly average of 700 births in the first seven months of this year. Many hospitals in Beijing had witnessed a clear surge in the number of births over the past two weeks, with nearly 80 percent of expectant mothers requesting the operation. We were trying to control the number, said Wang Jie, an official from the press department of the Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. We refused to perform C-sections on those who did not show any physical parturient symptoms. Zhao Kai, 39, whose daughter was born through a C-section last week, said: It would be unfair if my daughter had to wait a full year to enter school just because she was born a few days after the ridiculous admission deadline. All her classmates would be so much younger, and would probably treat her differently. However, a primary school teacher was of a different opinion. I believe an older student would perform better than her younger classmates, said Zhao Yurong, a Chinese language teacher at Beijing Zhenzhilu Primary School. The mental development of junior grade students depends on their age. So younger students, in general, do not have an advantage over those who are half a year older, Zhao said. She added that poor performances can hurt children deeply at an age when they are building their self-confidence. I really dont think parents should be so bothered about meeting the Sept 1 deadline when it comes to the birth of their child. Anthony Davis Jersey .

Jon (Bones) Jones (11-1) and Ryan (Darth) Bader (12-0) are being positioned to enter the octagon against each other at UFC 126, according to a report on MMAjunkie.com. The event, which has yet to be officially announced, will likely take place in February 2011 and is expected to be headlined by a middleweight title fight between champion Anderson (The Spider) Silva and Vitor (The Phenom) Belfort. Jones is one of the UFCs most talked-about young talents. In his last bout he made a statement with his destruction of veteran Vladimir Matyushenko in August. Jones needed only one minute and 52 seconds to establish side control and rain elbows down en route to a technical knockout.  Bader took another step up the light heavyweight ranks two weeks ago with his win over Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 119. Bader used his wrestlling background to control Little Nog for most of the fight, ultimately earning a unanimous decision with all three judges scoring the bout 30-27 in his favour.

The UFC has brought Jones along slowly, but the rising star feels he is ready to take on the promotions top fighters. "Im actually really sick of fighting this type of style. Matt Hamill, Matyushenko, Jake OBrien, they all have that similar kind of style," Jones explained on HDNets Inside MMA. "Their main focus is that double leg dive and [they have] sub-par boxing." "Im ready to fight some strikers. Im ready to fight some south paws. Im ready to really mix it up," he added. "Im trying to secure a respect level with my wrestling. Im sure Ryan Bader, the advantage hell have going in is to be the better wrestler and Im going to try and prove the UFC wrong again." ' ' '

. - Tom Lehman won the Regions Tradition for his third victory in seven Champions Tour events this year, beating Peter Senior with a par on the second hole of a playoff Sunday. Aaron Rodgers Jersey BOSTON -- Its been a busy week for Marc Savard. Cowboys Bryant Jersey . A day after signing a seven-year contract extension that could keep him in black and gold for the rest of his career, the Boston forward scored his 200th NHL goal and Marco Sturm scored twice on Wednesday night to lead the Bruins to a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. "Signed a contract and gets his 200th goal," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "These things have a way of kind of happening." Tim Thomas, making his second straight start since missing six games with an undisclosed injury, stopped 39 shots to give the Bruins their sixth victory in seven games. Patrice Bergeron had a goal and two assists, Mark Recchi had three assists, and Zdeno Chara had two assists to help Boston move back into first place in the Northeast Division. "The expectation was so high. Us getting off to a slow start kind of threw everybody for a loop -- fans, media," Julien said. "I think were finding our game slowly." Mike Smith made 35 saves for the Lightning, who lost for the fourth time in five games. Boston led 4-0 after two periods before Jeff Halpern scored Tampa Bays only goal 1:27 into the third period. "These games are kind of fun," said Thomas, who had a season high in saves. "You get into it when youre in a battle. Thats really my kind of game." Savard, who led the Bruins in scoring in each of his three seasons in Boston, missed 15 games because of a broken foot but returned on Nov. 23 and has a point in four straight games. He has five goals and six assists in his last 11 games overall. He agreed to a seven-year extension on Tuesday that would bring him to his 40th birthday. "It was a load off my mind, to tell the truth," Savard said. "Id been thinking about it for a while, especially during the time off. Thats when we really pressed to get it done. I know this is probably my last one. I wanted to stay in one city, so its good to be able to do it here." Savard gave Boston the lead 8:05 into the game, then the Bruins made it 2-0 when Chara took a shot from the point and Bergeron banged in the rebound with 5:57 left in the first period. Sturm scored twice in 2:33 in the second period. The Lightning gave Sturm an alley and he took a shot, then followed after the rebound when Smith let the puck drop to the ice at his right. Recchi came in and swatted at it, but it was Sturm who pushed it over the goal line to make it 3-0. Sturm scored again minutes later when Recchi stole the puck from Andrej Meszaros along the boards and pushed it up to Bergeron, who crossed it to Sturm in the slot for the tip-in. "We had some chances. We just didnt finish," Lightning coach Rick Tocchet said. "Smitty didnt smother the puck a couple of times. Those are the ones that will hurt you." The Lightning ended the shutout bid with 18:33 left when Halpern scored on his own rebound. Tampa Bay had not scored in 107 minutes 46 seconds, dating to the third period of a 4-3 overtime loss to Dallas on Nov. 28. NOTES: The Bruins assigned D Johnny Boychuk to Providence of the AHL for conditioning, and signed forward Max Sauve to an entry-level contract. ... Chara leads the Bruins with 15 assists. ...

. - Tampa Bay coach Rick Tocchet hopes his team learned an important lesson. Aaron Rodgers Jersey NEW YORK: Facebook has created a dual-class stock structure designed to give founder Mark Zuckerberg and other existing shareholders control over the company. Houston Texans Andre Johnson Jersey . The move could be seen as laying the groundwork for an initial public offering, though the social network said Tuesday it had no plans to go public at this time. Related readings:  Facebook stock jumps on private bourses  Unfriend named word of 2009 by US dictionary  Social networking websites crucial to expat life  Kaixin001.com sues rival for millions  Auschwitz memorial launches Facebook page The dual-class structure is what Google Inc.s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, created to keep voting control over that company before it went public in 2004. Googles Class B shares, owned by Page, Brin, CEO Eric Schmidt and some directors, hold 10 times the voting power as its regular, Class A stock. In a statement, Facebook Inc. said the company introduced the stock structure because its existing shareholders wanted to keep control when voting on issues it faces. The company didnt say which executives and employees would get the shares with the higher voting power. The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, said Facebook was converting the shares of all its current stockholders into Class B shares that, like Googles, hold 10 times the voting power of Class A stock. The logo of social networking website Facebook is displayed on a computer screen in London in 2007. [Agencies]  That would be a departure from Googles decision to keep such shares in the hands of a few top executives - something for which the search company has been criticized. Dual-class structures arent limited to high-tech companies. The New York Times Co., among others, has one to give control to the Ochs-Sulzberger family even though its members own only one-fifth of the newspaper company. Creating a class of shares with more voting power and keeping those shares in the hands of founders and employees can potentially allow a company to take more risks even at the expense of short-term investors, said Standard & Poors equity analyst Scott Kessler, who has followed Google since its IPO. Both Google and Warren Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway Inc., another company with a dual-class stock structure, take a long-term view of their business and isnt always seen as friendly to investors, he added. For example, neither company has ever split its stock: Googles shares closed Tuesday at $583.09, while Berkshires was at $102,700. A stock split makes a companys shares cheaper, opening them to more investors, even those who could simply looking to make a quick buck. They want to promote and preserve true long-term holders of the stock, Kessler said. Facebooks chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, worked at Google when that company went public. Facebook, which is based in Palo Alto, Calif., has lured other employees from Google as well. Facebook, which has more than 300 million users, has raised more than $600 million from investors since it was founded more than five years ago. Its most recent infusion came this spring from Russian Internet investor Digital Sky Technologies, which invested $200 million in exchange for a 2 percent stake in the company, valuing Facebook at $10 billion. It was not clear which class of stock Facebook would use if it uses stock to buy other companies in the future. The company said recently that it was cash-flow positive in the second quarter, which means it brought in more money than it spent. While this doesnt necessarily mean that Facebook is profitable by the measures most companies use - taxes, debt payments and accounting charges can use up the remaining cash - it was an important milestone.

Joe Johnson also had 18 points, while Jamal Crawford had eight of his 17 points in the fourth quarter, where the Hawks outscored Chicago by a 27-11 margin. ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Corey Perry thinks he never could have scored 50 goals for the Anaheim Ducks without two equally talented linemates. Ryan Getzlaf happens to agree. And with the playoffs just days away, Perry, Getzlaf and Bobby Ryan gave the San Jose Sharks a little taste of what they might see again from the Ducks big line next week. Perry capped his third career hat trick with his NHL-leading 50th goal during a dynamic four-point performance, and the Ducks kept pace in a tight playoff race with a 6-2 victory over San Jose on Wednesday night. Perry all but wrapped up his first Richard Trophy and burnished his MVP credentials with the biggest night yet in his remarkable late-season scoring binge. Getzlaf had four assists and Ryan had three while Perry lit up the Sharks, finishing his hat trick in the second period on a pass from Teemu Selanne during a two-man advantage. "Fifty is a huge number," Perry said after being serenaded with "M-V-P!" chants from the Honda Center crowd. "Everybody talks about it, (but) not a whole lot of people get to do it and be in that category. It hasnt really sunk in." Perry became just the third 50-goal scorer in Ducks history -- joining Selanne and Paul Kariya -- and the Western Conferences first 50-goal scorer since Calgarys Jarome Iginla in 2007-08. With 19 goals in his last 14 games, Perry is six goals ahead of Tampa Bays Steven Stamkos for the NHL goal-scoring title with two games to play. Perry also moved into second place on the NHL scoring chart with 97 points, behind only Vancouvers Daniel Sedin (100). "Its a tip to all of us when he can get 50, but it still takes a special player to get there," said Getzlaf, Perrys teammate with Canada in last years Olympics. "Hes one of those guys who rise to the occasion. He plays playoff hockey any time you need him. He has proven time and time again he can play in those big games and have results." Rookie Cam Fowler, Selanne and Jason Blake also scored as Anaheim rebounded from back-to-back losses to stay in a seventh-place tie with Chicago in the Western Conference standings. Both clubs have 95 points apiece and two games to go. The Ducks victory eliminated the Calgary Flames, but the 10th-place Dallas Stars still have a chance with 91 points and a game in hand. "We knew we have to play our best hockey right now," Perry said. "To come out and dominate like this shows we can play with anybody. Were still not there yet, but were working hard." Ray Emery sstopped 22 of 23 shots before leaving midway through the second period with what the Ducks said was a minor injury. New York Giants Jersey. He was cleared to return, but Dan Ellis wrapped up Anaheims 13th win in 18 games heading into a season-ending home-and-home series with Los Angeles. Two nights after San Jose embarrassed the Kings, the Sharks were humbled by the other team in Californias lively three-way NHL rivalry. All three appear headed to the same post-season for the first time, with San Jose and Anaheim looming as a possible first-round matchup. In their first game since clinching their fourth straight Pacific Division title, the Sharks lost in regulation for just the third time in 23 games since Feb. 13. San Jose fans could be excused for worrying about a late-season flop against the Ducks, who ran the Presidents Trophy-winning Sharks out of the first round two years ago, but coach Todd McLellan isnt panicking. "The team in black, they buckled it up and came to play really hard," McLellan said. "I thought our guys gave themselves permission, after a long, really good stretch, to take the night off. Were all disappointed about that. ... I expect it to be a one-time event. I want us to recover and have a good practice tomorrow." Antero Niittymaki made 28 saves in his first start since Jan. 13, while Dan Boyle and Ben Eager scored for the Sharks, whose four-game winning streak ended with Anaheims four power-play goals. Joe Pavelskis 10-game points streak ended for the Sharks, who finish with a home-and-home series against Phoenix. With 103 points, San Jose is one point ahead of Detroit in second place in the West standings. McLellan finally gave a day off to Antti Niemi, who had made 34 consecutive starts in goal. Niittymaki had been dropped from San Joses Finnish goalie platoon after missing 17 games with an injury, but the Sharks penalties were much more responsible for Anaheims domination than any rust on San Joses goalie. "I thought everybody could have done a much better job," Niittymaki said. "Goalies are a big part of the penalty-killing. At least if I would have stopped a couple of those, we would have had a chance. It wasnt going to happen tonight." NOTES: Ducks D Lubomir Visnovsky earned his career-best 67th point with an assist. ... The Sharks scratched LW Ryane Clowe after the 24-goal scorer incurred a lower-body injury Monday.

Chinas economic growth and structural transformation will create tremendous opportunities for American businesses China has become a profit center for enterprises from the United States. Statistics from the Ministry of Commerce of China indicate that by the end of 2010, US companies had invested $65.22 billion in more than 59,000 projects in China. According to the 2010 report of the American Chamber of Commerce in China (AmCham-China), 71 percent of US companies in China made a profit in 2009 and for 46 percent of the companies surveyed, the profits from the Chinese market were higher than their global average. All of the 100 service fields that the Chinese government promised to open up 10 years ago on joining the World Trade Organization have seen investment by US companies. China is now the second largest trade partner of the US, as well as the fastest growing market for US exports. The latest data released by the General Administration of Customs of China shows that the trade value between China and the US reached $385.34 billion in 2010, a nearly 30 percent year-on-year growth, of which $102.04 billion was imports from the US, an increase of 31.70 percent year-on-year. US manufacturing and agriculture registered a 330 percent rise in exports to China, and China was the largest overseas market for US soybean and cotton and one of the most important markets for US automobiles and airplanes. The US actually benefits from its commercial cooperation with China. Consumer goods made in China expand the choice for US consumers, especially the middle and lower classes, which is why the US government can still maintain a low inflation rate even with the pressure of huge deficits. Morgan Stanleys research suggests that buying made-in-China goods saved each US consumer more than $300 on average in 2009. Research by the United States-China Business Council (USCBC) shows the US yielded 0.7 percent more GDP growth from its increased investments in China in 2010 and its consumer prices dropped 0.8 percent as a result. It means the disposable income of each US family increased by about $1,000 last year. The US Secretary of Commerce Gary Faye Locke said in his speech at USCBC in January 2010, that each 1 percent increase in US exports to Asia could result in 100,000 more jobs in the US. This would mean that the increase in US exports to China from 2001 to 2008 created 2.57 million jobs in the US. Chinese enterprises direct investments in the US have also increased steadily in recent years, making great contributions to the local employment market. For example, Haier Group, the largest household appliance manufacturer in China,, has created thousands of jobs in the US since its industrial park was constructed in the city of Camden in South Carolina in 1999. Replicas Mark Sanchez Jersey. China held $906.80 billion in US Treasury bonds by October 2010 despite the global financial crisis. Rather than dumping the bonds, China increased its holdings, which effectively promoted the stability and liquidity of the US market and played an important role in easing its credit deflation. The development of Sino-US commercial cooperation is a natural result of the deepening of the global labor division system. In this process, the strengths of the US in management, technology, capital and innovation have been consolidated by means of Chinese labor and the huge market in China. Partnering with China undoubtedly creates better conditions for the US to divert its industries toward high value-added fields. Chinas controversial trade surplus with the US doesnt mean that US interests are harmed. A 2010 report by the Cato Institute, a Washington-based think tank, points out that it is the US that benefits the most from Sino-US trade. For example, Chinese manufacturers only make $4 from each iPod made in China, which retails for $299 in developed countries. As for the heated debate over the valuation of yuan, Chinas surplus in its trade with the US increased considerably from 2005 to 2008, during which the yuan appreciated by 21.2 percent. US protectionism is another nagging problem affecting Sino-US trade, and one that also hurts the US. The US government levied a special protectionist tariff on tires imported from China in 2009. The US tire industry lost 10 percent of its jobs in the first five months of 2010. If it lifted its ban on high-tech exports to China, the US would benefit. Chinas imports of high-tech products jumped from $64 billion to $309.85 billion from 2001 to 2009, with an average annual increase of 48 percent. However, the US proportion of Chinas high-tech imports dropped from 18.30 percent in 2001 to 7.5 percent in 2009. China and the US are complementary, which provides Sino-US commercial cooperation with a solid foundation of mutual benefits. Chinas opening-up and reform during its 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) period not only entails a broad structural transformation, it will also release tremendous capital and consumption space for US enterprises. A healthy and constructive Sino-US commercial partnership is necessary for stronger bilateral ties and, more importantly, crucial for a robust global economic recovery and sustainable world development.

Aaron Rodgers Jersey SHANGHAI: People in east Chinas Jiangsu, Zhejiang provinces and Shanghai municipality have bought 330,000 silver carp fry to help restore the algae-plagued Taihu Lake, the countrys third largest freshwater lake, said local fishery authorities Monday. Replica Marques Colston Jersey . The donation campaign was initiated on January 19 by 20 local media organizations. The algae-eating fry were scheduled to be put into the 2,400-square-km lake on February 23, said Fan Xiao, an official with the Taihu Lake Fishing Administration. Costing 0.6 yuan ($0.09), a silver carp could consume 50 kg of algae and other matter by September this year when it was expected to weigh 1.5 to 2 kg, Fan said.

But its water quality deteriorated several years ago, said Zhao Meizhen, a 90-year-old retired teacher who bought 500 fry. The local government began to use silver carp to clean the lake in February last year after blue-green algae choked the lake in 2007 as a result of rampant pollution. It had affected the drinking water of 17 million residents, Fan said. The costs of the campaign were shared by government funds and public donations, he said. In 2009, the local government bought more than 14 million silver carp fry and donors bought 1 million. This year, the government funds would be estimated at 12 million yuan, he said.

Michael Vick has the nicknames ready.TORONTO -- Its the time of year when a single point can make a big difference, and the Toronto Marlies felt they let one get away on Saturday afternoon, falling 3-2 to the Lake Erie Monsters in shootout. Luke Walkers winner in the shootout led the Monsters to a 3-2 victory over the Toronto Marlies in American Hockey League action Saturday. "Im really pleased the way our guys responded and played," said Marlies head coach Dallas Eakins. "We know this is going to go down to the last week. Would we have liked both those points, absolutely. But we got one and well see where we sit on Wednesday." Joel Chouinard and Greg Mauldin scored for Lake Erie (40-25-8) in regulation. The win was the third in a row for the North Division-leading Monsters. Ryan Hamilton scored twice to reply for the hometown Marlies (35-29-10) in front of 4,506 fans at Ricoh Coliseum. Hamilton led off the shootout but was stopped by Monsters goaltender John Grahame, as was Greg Scott. Mauldin beat Marlies goalie Ben Scrivens through the five-hole before Joe Colborne responded with a marker of his own to even the shootout at 1-1. Fabian Brunnstrom and Matt Carauna both missed their attempts for Toronto before Walker ended it on a goal that originally looked like it had been saved, but dribbled over the line. In the end the Marlies came away with a disappointing, but much-needed point, keeping their drive for the playoffs alive. Their next action is Wednesday at home to the Syracuse Crunch. "We played a great game, put a lot of pucks to the net. Their goalie played well but we didnt capitalize on a lot of our chances, especially myself," said a humble Hamilton. Lake Eries Grahame was spectacular at times, stopping 37 of 39 shots for the victory. At the other end, Scrivens made 16 saves, allowing two hard-luck goals in regulation. Both Lake Erie markers were deflections off Toronto defender Korbinian Holzer. &qquot;Its games like this where the games not fair," said Eakins. Authentic LaMarr Woodley Jersey. . Toronto out-shot the Monsters 12-5 in the opening period en route to taking it to the opposition the entire game, but the game was tied 1-1 after 20 minutes when a Chouinard shot hit Holzer in the arm and found its way to the back of the net just after Torontos Juraj Mikus stepped out of the penalty box. The pace picked up noticeably in the second and a physical edge appeared, but the teams played a scoreless frame. The deadlock was broken by Lake Eries Mauldin, at 6:57 of the third period when the Monsters second lucky goal of the game went in. Mauldin took a drop pass from centre Ben Walter and let a weak wrist shot go from a bad angle. The shot hit Holzers stick and deflected past Scrivens. "That hockey," Hamilton said. "They come down the other way and get a good bounce and it goes in. Theres nothing you can do it about it." Hamiltons second of the game came just over three minutes later when a scramble in the Lake Erie crease ended with the puck on his stick. He shovelled it pass Grahame for his second of the day, the goal snapped a 0-for-23 streak on the power play for the Marlies. Toronto finished 1-for-4 with the man advantage, Lake Erie was 0-for-4 on the power play. With the score tied 2-2 the Marlies pushed hard, finishing regulation with a 38-18 advantage in shots, but to no avail. Overtime was feisty, but tight-checking, both teams managed a lone shot and it was off to the shootout. "We firmly outplayed the other team, we limited them to barely any scoring chances 5-on-5, a bad bounce ends up in our net and it goes to a shootout," Eakins said. "Listen, you can toss coins on those things."

Tweet CHICAGO - There might be tears during a special ceremony at home in St. Premier Charles Woodson Jersey . Louis on Friday, but Keith Tkachuk didnt shed any on Wednesday night at the United Center after it was announced that he would retire at seasons end.   Tkachuk, who sat out St. Louis game against the host Blackhawks with a lower-body injury, made his way through the press box for interviews between periods with a smile on his face and a hand extended to familiar faces there to congratulate him.   After 19 seasons in the National Hockey League, Tkachuk has decided that his body has taken enough of a pounding as one of his eras toughest power forwards.   "Its been a tough year with my health, so its definitely the right decision to step away after this season," he said. "Its always hard. I played a lot of years and cherish every moment."   His proudest accomplishment, he said, isnt any of the impressive statistics that hes accrued over his career. Its not the 1,200 regular season games played, the 1,063 points on 538 goals and 525 assists or the 2,219 minutes spent in the penalty box. Keith Tkachuk (Getty Images) Keith Tkachuk (Getty Images) Its also not the 89 playoff games played, 56 points tallied on 28 goals and 28 assists, or the 176 penalty minutes accrued in the post-season.   "The thing Im most proud of is the fact Im retiring as a St. Louis Blue," said Tkachuk, a four-time Olympian and silver medalist who came into the League with Winnipeg and played for the Blues for nine seasons. "St. Louis is a great place to play and live. Its been a great run playing for the Blues." Blackhawks forward Kris Versteeg remembers watching Tkachuk as a youngster. "Hes an amazing player," Versteeg said. "He was actually my old mans favorite power forward when I was growing up. Hes a guy who really helped solidify that position. Hes done so much for many organizations in the League. I send my best to him because hes been such a great player in the League."   News of Tkachuks retirement spread quickly through the press box, and Tkachuk made his way through interviews on TV, radio and with writers. He said that after consulting with his family he knew it was time to call it quits.  He has three children whom hed like to spend more time with, including sons Matthew, 12, and Brady, 10, who both play junior hockey in St. Louis.   "My kids are taking it hard, especially my two boys," Tkachuk said. "My daughter Tayrn is only 6, so I dont think she really understands it all just yet. But the boys have been around the rink long enough that theyre a little sad. But now Ill get some more time to spend with them and help them along the way."   Tkachuk, who was drafted by Winnipeg in 1990 and broke into the League with the Jets in 1991, has played in 66 games this season. He has 13 goals and 17 assists for 30 points. Hes also spent 56 minutes in the penalty box. Its the time spent in the press box because of bumps and bruises that drove him to this decision.   He said that he will still spend a lot of time around hockey, coaching his boys, but, "I just wont be getting banged around by 6-foot-5 guys anymore."   Ed Olczyk remembers the days when Tkachuk was a young buck instigating most of the collisions. Olczyk, now a TV analyst, played with Tkachuk for three full seasons in Winnipeg. Hes impressed at how far the guy they call "Walt" has come since his rookie season.   "He came in raw and just evolved into a great player," Olczyk said. "He was the prototypical power forward. He could score. He could hit. He wasnt afraid to run you into the ditch. He was a great pro. Hes one of the greatest American-born players to play the game." Keith Tkachuk Left Wing - STL GOALS: 538 | ASST: 525 | PTS: 1063  Tkachuk remembers those days well, and for the past couple of seasons hes tried to impart his own wisdom on the Blues young players like Olczyk did for him.   "You just try to be the best teammate possible," said Tkachuk, who will be honored after St. Louis final home game of the season on Friday night. "I was lucky to have some guys who affected me in a positive way, so you just try to help guys be comfortable and learn the right way."   As for his legacy?   He has thought about it and in his mind its more about things that dont show up in box scores.   "I just hope I left a positive influence on my teammates and people Ive met along the way, especially with the team we have right now," Tkachuk said. "I owe the game of hockey everything. The game doesnt owe me anything. Ive been lucky to play in the National Hockey League and Ill never forget it." Replicas Mark Sanchez Jersey .
