| Ottawa Senators say they'll fine Emery for latest transgression
The Ottawa Senators have decided to fine Ray Emery for his latest transgression in a season that has included no shortage of negative headlines for the goaltender. Emery showed up late for Ottawa's practice in Long Island on Monday. It was the second time this season he has been late for a skate. "We're going to fine him," Sens GM Bryan Murray told The Canadian Press on Tuesday. Murray declined to comment on how much he would fine Emery. The collective bargaining agreement has two possible areas the Senators could look at: -Page 245 of the CBA states, regarding "rules governing the conduct and conditioning of a player," that "the club may impose a reasonable fine upon the player and deduct the amount thereof from any money due..." -Page 280 of the CBA states, "any player who misses a scheduled practice without a valid and pre-approved permission will be fined" 1/187 (187 regular-season days) of his NHL salary.

Wild Card/Vacation Day 11 of 12
Only two more shopping days until I return to the final days of the City Council campaigns. Then, we'll have fun taking apart the campaigns. Any dirt yet? Any mudslinging. You know, the good stuff. Or is everyone behaving? My wife is now looking over my shoulder -- literally -- so I have to pretend that I'm just checking ball scores. See ya in two days. Here's Wild Card ... .
A&L takes hit and extends funding
The higher write-down raised the prospect that other banks might follow suit when they report 2007 results in the next five weeks. "This is clearly not good news, and a sign of what we could expect from the other UK banks as we go into earnings season," said Ashley Stuart, an analyst at JP Morgan. A&L shares fell by as much as half last year, amid concerns the credit crunch had forced banks to restrict lending to one another, following losses on low quality U.S. mortgages. It was this crunch that led Northern Rock to seek emergency help from the Bank of England. A&L calmed fears in November by saying it had agreed a 4 billion pound, two-year financing facility with Credit Suisse. It declined to comment on its latest funding details.

There was also a joke that hunting with Cheney was safer than riding ...
He is just too far to the left to be elected and once his newness/novelty/persona wears off, he will be exposed as such. Not enough Americans, even after Bush, will vote for someone who the NDP would put up as a candidate. Posted 27/01/08 at 3:24 PM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .
