Small sample sizes are awful for making long-term decisions in your fantasy hockey league, but they are fun to point out exciting and concerning trends. With that, we present the encouraging and troubling early-season numbers from the power play and penalty kill.
Colorado Avalanche (second in the NHL with a 29.2 percent power-play conversion): Through six games, the Avalanche are 7-for-24 with the man advantage, and the success has played an important role in the team's 5-1-0 start. Erik Johnson and Paul Stastny are not surprises as two of the staples on the Avs' top power-play unit, but some of the other names might catch you a bit off guard. Milan Hejduk (available in 31 percent of ESPN leagues) has collected four of his five points on the man advantage and David Jones (available in 62 percent of ESPN leagues) is right behind him with three. More conspicuous by his absence, Matt Duchene has not been a regular on the power play. In fact, he is eighth on the team in power-play time per game. Stastny, Jones, Hejduk and Joakim Lindstrom, along with Johnson on the point, are the team's top unit so far. This may not be a reason to downgrade Duchene a whole lot, especially since he had only 15 power-play points last season. Clearly special teams play is not a big source of his points production.
New York Rangers (fourth to last in the NHL with a 5.6 percent power-play conversion): The Rangers are 1-for-18 with the man advantage through four games. Perhaps not finding a puck-moving defenseman during the offseason is coming back to haunt the team. Ryan Callahan, Brandon Dubinsky, Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik, with either Michael Del Zotto or Daniel Girardi on the point, have been the Blueshirts' top unit. The talent is definitely there up front, but Del Zotto and Girardi are hardly the type of high-scoring ice generals you want to see on the point. The problem could be that the team is simply homesick. The Rangers won't play in Madison Square Gardens until Oct. 27, their eighth game of the season. Sparing that, it comes down to the man on the point needing to set things up better. Del Zotto is the best bet for the team, but he will need to get back to the form of his 2009-10 rookie season, when he scored 22 power-play points, and then build on that. Wade Redden anyone? That will never happen, but the team needs somebody in that mold to make things happen on the man advantage.
Pittsburgh Penguins (first in the NHL with a 96.8 percent penalty-kill rate): The Pens have managed to allow only one power-play goal against them in 31 opportunities over the span of nine games. That is one tight penalty-killing unit. Led by the shutdown pair of Zbynek Michalek and Paul Martin on the blue line and the backchecking of Matt Cooke and Craig Adams, the Pens are keeping it fairly simple for Marc-Andre Fleury (and Brent Johnson). Shorthanded for a total of about 57 minutes so far, the Pens' tenders have stopped 43 of 44 shots. That is a nice trend for anyone invested in Fleury, as the penalty kill is when a goalie is most vulnerable. If the Penguins can give Fleury a head start with such a shutdown system, his numbers should be significantly boosted.
Ottawa Senators (second to last in the NHL with a 68.6 percent penalty-kill rate): Shorthanded for about 10 fewer minutes than the Penguins have been, the Sens tenders have allowed 11 goals on 59 shots for a .814 save percentage on the kill. Craig Anderson is holding a .826 save percentage on the penalty kill, having allowed eight goals on 46 shots. Who knows how much worse those numbers would be if two of his games hadn't been against the Jets and Detroit Red Wings, who are collectively 3-for-40 on the man advantage? Bottom line: Things aren't going to improve for Anderson if the Sens remain so porous whenever someone goes to the sin bin. Maybe even more concerning is that the team boasts two players who are consistently in the running for the most penalty minutes in the NHL in Chris Neil and Zenon Konopka. If this trend holds, there is no light at the end of the tunnel for those who drafted Anderson as a No. 2 goaltender.
"O" (offense) and "D" (defense) matchup ratings are based upon a scale from 1 (poor matchup) to 10 (excellent matchup) and are calculated using a formula that evaluates the team's year-to-date and past 21 days' statistics, their performance in home/road games depending on where the game is to be played, as well as their opponents' numbers in those categories. The Games T / H column lists the team's total number of games played as well as home games and lists the cumulative rating from 1-10 for that week's matchups.
Offensive Highlights
Philadelphia Flyers: The Flyers have the best week on tap for all the offenses in the NHL with an O:10 on the Forecaster for games against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, Winnipeg Jets and Carolina Hurricanes. The Flyers have been trying out some new line combinations, and there are some readily available players to help your fantasy scoring next week. Matt Read (available in 77 percent of ESPN leagues) was promoted to the Flyers No. 2 line with Danny Briere and Wayne Simmonds after scoring six points in the first five games of the season. Brayden Schenn (available in 57 percent of ESPN leagues) was called up from the AHL after he posted eight points in four games with the Adirondack Phantoms. He skated with Scott Hartnell and Jakub Voracek on Thursday (and finished minus-3).
Tampa Bay Lightning: The Bolts have a Forecaster rating of O:7 on a three-game schedule against the Buffalo Sabres, Nashville Predators and Jets. Two players in the top six are still available in a lot of leagues. Ryan Malone (available in 95 percent of ESPN leagues) is skating on a line with Teddy Purcell and Steven Stamkos of late. Although two goals and two assists in seven games isn't something to write home about, it is enough to consider him when the schedule looks good for next week. To try to spark Brett Connolly (available in 99 percent of ESPN leagues) to start scoring like he was in the preseason, the Bolts have shifted him to a line with Martin St. Louis and Vincent Lecavalier. Connolly is also earning top power-play minutes with St. Louis, Lecavalier and Stamkos. With that kind of company, if he doesn't have a breakout week soon, he isn't going to.
Montreal Canadiens: It shouldn't be a surprise that Max Pacioretty is acting like the No. 1 offensive star for the Habs. His production was trending that way at the end of last season, and he picked up right where he left off with five points in six games on a line with David Desharnais and Andrei Kostitsyn. What is a bit surprising is that there isn't complete buy-in yet. Pacioretty is available in 51 percent of ESPN leagues. Why not try him out on a week when the Canadiens have four games and an O:7 Forecaster rating on offense? Here's betting you keep him beyond this coming week.
Offensive Lowlights
Boston Bruins: The offense just hadn't been clicking this season (until Thursday), and the result is an O:1 for a two-game week on the Forecaster. That said, there is some more bad news depending on which B's you invested in this season. David Krejci returned from his abdomen injury Thursday to a line shuffle that found him playing on the Bruins third unit. That is very bad news for Krejci owners. However, if you bet on Tyler Seguin this season, there is good news. Seguin, who performed quite well as top center when Krejci was hurt, found himself on the new top line with Milan Lucic and Chris Kelly. The trio had eight points in the Bruins 6-2 win against the Leafs, which means they will get to stay together for now. Kelly, available in almost every ESPN league, is worth a pickup to see if he sticks. Rich Peverley was also bumped from the second line to make room for Nathan Horton to skate with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand. That is not good for folks who had considered Peverley as an addition to their roster, but it shouldn't hurt Horton.
Minnesota Wild: The Wild offense has cooled considerably since the preseason and first few games of the regular season. Dany Heatley hadn't scored since the first game of the season before he got one in the last second (literally) of Thursday's game. Heatley, Mikko Koivu and Devin Setoguchi won't stay cold for too many stretches this season. Someone who is known for cold stretches is Guillaume Latendresse. However, in a season where his conditioning and commitment were called into question, it is nice to see him with five points in seven games. He has a nose for the net and could surprise any fantasy owners who give him a look (available in 80 percent of ESPN leagues). Next week just may not be the best time to pick him up given a Forecaster rating of O:2.
Defensive Highlights
New York Rangers: The Rangers boast a D:6 or better for all three of their contests next week, including their first two home games of the season against the Maple Leafs and Senators. Henrik Lundqvist has been one of the lone bright spots for the club this season and is a great play for the next fantasy scoring period. Remember, a good defensive rating on the Forecaster is a boon to plus/minus ratings. That means Michael Del Zotto (available in 47 percent of ESPN leagues) and Ryan McDonagh (available in 92 percent of ESPN leagues) could be in consideration while you are filling out your defense next week.
Buffalo Sabres: Ryan Miller has been rock solid so far this season and should continue the trend into next week. The Sabres are a D:6 with home games against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Columbus Blue Jackets and Florida Panthers. The solid defensive rating means Andrej Sekera (plus-6, available in 99.6 percent of ESPN leagues) and Marc-Andre Gragnani (three points, plus-3, available in 99 percent of ESPN leagues) might be good choices for your final defense roster spots.
Defensive Lowlights
St. Louis Blues: One goaltender who isn't having a good start to the season is Jaroslav Halak. With a 3.47 goals-against average and .835 save percentage, it wouldn't be a shock to see Brian Elliott start getting into the mix next week. Not that you would necessarily start Elliott either, given a D:3 on the road during the complete three-game Western Conference Canadian trip (Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers). However, if Elliott does get a start or two and performs well, it will be time to start giving him a look as a potential addition if you need goaltending help.
Who's Hot/Not
The Philadelphia Flyers three-line attack has rocketed to the top of the goals per game list. This will likely be the final week we include the preseason numbers to beef up this chart, but you can still see the damage being inflicted by the Flyers. Players still under the radar for the club include Wayne Simmonds (available in 39 percent of ESPN leagues) and Matt Carle (available in 40 percent of ESPN leagues). Simmonds, who has proven in the past to be a fantasy stat-stuffer in the right situation, looks ready to provide a great mix of points, plus/minus and penalty minutes this season. With four points already, a plus-2, nine PIMs and 19 shots on goal, the trend suggests Simmonds will earn serious value thanks to across-the-board contribution. Carle is on the top pairing with Chris Pronger and has four points and a plus-4 rating.
The number of shots the Tampa Bay Lightning are facing is having a negative effect on Dwayne Roloson, yet Mathieu Garon is thriving. The two goaltenders have played about the same number of minutes (211 for Roloson, 218 for Garon) and have faced close to the same number of shots (127 for Roloson, 113 for Garon), yet Roloson has a 5.11 goals-against average and .858 save percentage, while Garon has a 1.93 GAA and .938 save percentage. Since the Lightning have faced the third-most shots in the league and have the second-most blocked shots, this trend of having a highly peppered goaltender is not going to change. That means Garon is going to be the man for the Bolts sooner than later.
Hockey Challenge
Best Bets: The Vancouver Canucks have a solid three-game week on tap and should be one of the first places you look for offense. If you happen to have the resources, adding the twins is always a good idea, but Daniel Sedin ($9M) and Henrik Sedin ($8.9M) cost a pretty penny. The Philadelphia Flyers, with a great Forecaster rating and a four-game week, are probably the best place to look. Claude Giroux ($8.2M) is a great price, and the bargain hunter might want to consider James van Riemsdyk ($5.9M).
Weekly Bargain: While Sami Salo ($5.2M) is a liability for regular fantasy hockey, which stretches over the whole season, he is a value add on defense in a game where you can swap out any player on a weekly basis. Salo is healthy and producing for the Canucks. While history tells us he won't stay healthy long, if you are buying him for short stretches, there isn't much downside, especially when he is the blue line's offensive catalyst for a squad as prolific as the Canucks.
Rentals: The Rangers have a well-rated week ahead, and this might be a good time to rent Henrik Lundqvist ($13.4M) for some potential wins (and even shutouts) against the Winnipeg Jets, Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators. The Maple Leafs have a four-game week, and Phil Kessel ($7.7M) won't stop scoring. Consider sliding him into your roster as well, given the low price for the league's leading scorer.
My roster for next week:
Jonathan Quick, G ($12.3M)
Henrik Lundqvist, G ($13.4M)
Marc-Andre Bergeron, D ($6.1M)
Erik Karlsson, D ($6.4M)
Lubomir Visnovsky, D ($7.4M)
Sami Salo, D ($5.2M)
Daniel Sedin, F ($9.0M)
James Neal, F ($7.3M)
Sidney Crosby, F ($8.8M) -- I'm trying to stay ahead of a market increase.
Phil Kessel, F ($7.7M)
Henrik Sedin, F ($8.9M)
Jason Spezza, F ($7.3M)

Here's an excerpt from our current editon....
Special People of Lake Anna: The Harrises
What makes Lake Anna so special to so many people, both resident and visitor alike? Is it the clear, clean and warm water? Is it the abundant fish and birds that also make the lake their home? Is it the lake lifestyle that features both laid back and wild boat parties and places with names like Cocktail Cove, The Sand Bar, Kayakers' Beach, Skinny Dipper's Cove and Bohemian Bay? Or is it places like Tim's, Anna Cabana, Anna Point Marina and High Point Marina that offer great access and good times?
It's probably all of the above as well as a 100 other reasons depending on whom you ask. But if you asked folks to name what makes Anna so special it's more often than not something that's natural – a sunset, woods, a beach, a quiet morning. In this series we'll bring you the storyof families/folks that have made sure that those that live and visit here will be able to enjoy this intrinsic beauty of the lake; undeveloped and green, appreciating places that remain a bit wild and untouchable by the bulldozers of development.These are the special people and places of Lake Anna and we should all be grateful to them.
Samuel N. Harris or Sam, as he's called by most, is a 57-year-old fourth generation farmer sitting on 1,200 acres on and around the lake area. He and his brother W.A. Harris operate Cherry Grove Farm Enterprises on a number of parcels mostly located in Spotsylvania County on the shore of the North Anna River branch of the lake. Take a boat ride up to Tim's Restaurant and the undeveloped farmland on the right is a big part of the Harris farm.
No newcomers to Virginia, the Harris family name can be traced all the way back to a Jamestown supply ship. Their long history around the lake puts them as one of the founding families here, too. Sam told me his great, great grandfather lived in Glenora (1700's era community near where 208 crosses the lake now) before moving to an old plantation house close to where the family farm is currently. In the early 1900's his grandfather started dairy farming. Sam's father William Overton or W.O. Harris, and his uncle Fred Harris took over the operation and began to expand the land holdings, pasture by pasture, forest by forest.
"They started off small where they grew up and kept adding land to the farm," Harris told me. "When Rt. 522 came in the 1940's it split the farm."
When the lake planners came and offered money for land that would be submerged by the lake, Harris said he remembers hearing his parents talking about the farmland that would be lost.

I like this product because, it specifically works for and with browner skin types. I've used it consistently for about four months and it has really made my tone more uniformed. I don't wear makeup and never really cared to. With this product I am able to continue my makeup free life with glowing skin, naturally. I also use the moisturizer w/ sunblock-awesome as well. Doubly awesome as a skin combo. Walmart offers this and other neutrogena products at waaaaaaaayyyyy better prices than any of my local beauty supply or large pharmacy stores.
I have been using this product for 10 years...I am a 36 year old male, and usually am mistaken for 28-30...I attribute that mainly to the daily use of this product...I work in construction, alot of it outside, and lived under the Florida sun for all ten years...it works! The upsetting part is that the stores(including walgreens,cvs, etc.) quit stocking this to introduce a new neutrogena Healthy Skin product which seems like it is entirely synthetic, where as this at least has soy base...so after using the other for a month and a half...I bit the bullet, and went on Walmart.com, and stocked up on 10 tubes of this...it was like meeting an old friend after a long time, and my face finally felt hydrated again, plus the amount of clogged pores has diminished in just 3 days by half...tired of companies messing with a good thing out of interest of maximizing profits...you'll have a customer for life, if you just care about them...
I'll start by saying that I've always been happy with Neutrogena products and feel they are the best "drugstore brand" out there. This cleanser is no exception. This does a decent job cleansing, and doesn't leave my face all dried out. I didn't notice my complexion getting "even" until after a few weeks, and it looks better and better every day. After I wash my face using this with my spa sonic, I use the visibly even day moisturizer (buffed on with my spa sonic). I'm very happy with my complexion for the first time of my life! I wish I would have found all of this sooner!
I have been using this product for 7 years. It was the first time I had a problem with blemishes and I was searching for a product that would help me as an african american woman. I tried this product because Gabrielle Union was the spokes person. I saw results as described on the packages and I have even recommended it to others who have seen results. Over the last couple of years it has become difficult for me to find. Last year I even called Nuetrogenea directly to find out if the product would be discontinued. The service rep I spoke to was very perfessional and even offered other avenues in which I can find the product. Up until this year when ever I would find this product and lotion I would stock pile it. But now it seems I can no longer find both so I have decided to order it on line. I do not know what I would do without it and hope I do not have to find out as this product has been apart of my daily routine for years.
Have used Neutrogena products for years, great cleanzer, doesn't over dry my skin, which is important living in the desert.
I have been using this product as long as I can remember, I panic when its out of stock locally! I have oily skin, this product just gently foams and lifts oil and dirt right out of my pores, and exfoliates gently. My face feels CLEAN yet not dried out after washing. It's my go to product for makeup removal.. Even around the eyes, the scrub is so gentle and the foam removes even waterproof mascara in one wash, rinses easily and does not sting my eyes. A little goes a long way, it foams more if you don't use too much. I'm not sure how long its been out, but I'm pretty sure I've been using this product for about 10 years. While I have good genetics, this product keeps my 49 year old face smooth, soft, toned, pimple free, and it lightens the natural dark circles under my eyes. I keep two on hand, one in the shower and one by the bathroom sink so you can assume a twice a day minimum wash, and it always goes with me on vacation. There is a "barely there" scent, that doesn't linger like overly perfumed products. I cannot say enough good about this product, I hope they NEVER stop making it and NEVER change this PERFECT formula!
I have been experiencing issues with my skin after being diagnose with Polycastic Ovarian Syndrome earlier this year. As an 29 year old African American woman, it is hard to find products that will help and protect your skin, even my tone and fight against wrinkles. My co-worker (An African American Woman) actually uses that product ,recommended and went with me shopping to get it. We basically use this product and moisturizer as well. I have to admitted that I have been using it for about two months, applied the face wash twice a day as well as the moisturizer. I have seen a huge change in the appearance of my skin, more even tone, blemishes are fading away, minimize the appearance of acne and makes my skin looks so much younger. People think that I am like 23! I am now looking to see what body cleanser that will help against acne and anti-wrinkle as well . Any suggestions or recommendations
We are so happy to hear that you found products that work for you. You mentioned that your acne and wrinkles have improved, this goes beyond what the products are supposed to do. We want to learn more and gather some additional information. Please call us at 1-800-582-4048, we're open Monday through Friday, 8 AM-8 PM EST. We hope to hear from you soon.
I was so excited to get this product to help improve my skin and my overall skin tone, but when i started to use it i developed a small breakout, at first i didn't know what was the cause, so i continued to use it and broke out more and than i stopped using it and the breakout was gone, so this definitely broke out my skin, I have very sensitive, so i wouldn't recommend it to anyone with that skin type, instead i tried neutrogena's acne soap, which has helped my skin significantly, but it is a bit drying, so a moisturizer is needed afterwards, still in search for the perfect skin product for me.
Ok so I started using this product last year in the spring when I started to have uneven skin and discoloration around my chin. It was very bad and I was close to giving up I went to the drug store and saw this and actually called Neutrogena to get advise on what to get. I saw a difference in two weeks. The dark discoloration around my chin was GONE. I was so happy because it was so embarrassing being a girl walking around with a very dark chin. After my skin was back to being even I stop using this for a year. But this spring my discoloration came back again but on the cheek. My skin always acts weird when transitioning from spring into summer. So I went back to this product and AGAIN in TWO weeks the big dark spot was gone. 90% of the dark spot is gone just a tiny spot is there but it too will be gone soon. Which is great because my skin is pretty much even. I love this and will never take this out of my morning routine. I didn't experience any dryness and it really does nourish the skin. I also use this morning and night every day after cleansing. Even though my skin is pretty much even I will continue to use this.
Ok I'm using Neutrogenas entire visibly even line and I love it! I'm using prescription retin-a for acne and these two Visibly even products arsuperb! My acne is gone and my complextion is so even! I've purchasing tons of products trying to find ones that wont cause acne and are gentle (retina a makes my skin extremely sensitive, I've had to throw away cleansers and moisturizers because they made my skin feel like it was burning) The visibly even cleanser is perfect, to me it feels more creamy than foamy and makes your skin feel clean and soft without stripping your face dry. Its a wonderful cleanser for me in the morning and I follow with the visibly even moisturizer which is like a luxurious cream. It makes my skin soft and smooth (it has little shimmering things in it but you can hardly tell unless you stare extremely close at the mirror. I just love these products
I've had this for about 3 weeks and i haven't noticed a HUGE difference, but i do see it a little... But i don't use it everyday so i can't complain. It doesn't BRIGHTEN your skin, but it does help make it even.
I had been using this a while back and noticed a wonderful difference in my skin tone, even receiving compliments on my skin from various people. For whatever reason, I switched away from it and am now coming back. I use this in conjunction with the moisturizer every morning. I have been dealing with a resurgance in acne since removing hormonal birth control, and I am beginning to notice improvement in the evenness of my skin tone. Only been a few weeks since I've started my new Neutrogena routine. Hope to continue to improve with continued use. Love the way this makes my skin feel after using, pleasant scent.
I use this product every night before bed. I love how soft it makes my skin feel and it has a pretty good smell to it. I have only been using for about a week so far and I haven't seen much of a difference in skin tone. Hopefully with more use I will.
I have really difficult skin; acne-prone, reactive-sensitive, and aging all at the same time. I usually have to use products geared towards extremely sensitive skin, but they leave my complexion dull and drab. On a whim, I picked the Visibly Even Foaming Cleanser up at my local store. I was skeptical, because everything causes an allergic or acne reaction in my skin. I was delightfully surprised by this product. My skin is calm, soft, radiant and bright in a way it hasn't been in years, even better than with my RX topical. PLEASE do not stop making this product, Neutrogena! It seems like whenever I finally find something that works, it gets discontinued or reformulated and no longer works! This is a GREAT cleanser....leave it alone!
This product has to make my face very clean and help to reduce the scars of my past acne. My skin face look more light and clean.
Goes on smoothly and washes face better than soap I had been using. Very satisfied with this.
I am a African American woman and for years, I Have been searching for a facial cleanser that can help with my rough, dull, flaky skin due to Sebaceous Dermatitis. After seeing the commercial for this collection with Kerry Washington and I believe Gabrielle Union as well and how beautiful their skin was, I decided to try it out on a whim. After the first rinse, I saw IMMEDIATE RESULTS; my face was smooth, clean, brighten, and radiance all at one time. That has NEVER happened to me with anything I have used on my face. I literally BRAG about this product everyday and if you only use this, you will STILL get good results. GREAT & AFFORDABLE CLEANSER FOR NICE FACIAL SKIN!!
I LOVE THIS CLEANSER!!! When it stopped being sold in stores I was really bummed, but thought "ok I'll replace it with something else." Well there is nothing else like it. My face started to break out and get really blothchy and GROSS! I even turned to Proactiv to get this under control, but after trying that for 3 months I was not getting the results I wanted. So I came to your website to see if this was still being made and bought two bottles. Let me tell you...there is a HUGE difference in my skin! It is clearing up and I can again smile and show my face in public without humiliation! PLEASE BRING THIS BACK TO THE STORES!! Whatever you do, DO NOT STOP MAIKING THIS!!!
a+ performance
I'm African American and I've been using this product for 3 days. Immediately after washing the soap off of my face, I saw results. I was GLOWING after I rinsed my face off. I was so shocked at what I saw in the mirror and I didn't think it would be this intense let alone appear this quick. I've even seen my skin tone becoming more even. Its crazy how quick it works. And it doesn't dry out my skin! My skin is so smooth now that it's not being dried out. I still use a salicylic acid enhanced liquid on my face with a cottonball afterwards to make sure that my acne stays under control. It's also by Neutrogena.

Colombia: Keeper underwent treatment
Updated: June 29, 2011, 10:54 AM ETAssociated Press
FRANKFURT, Germany -- The Colombian Football Federation says backup goalkeeper Yineth Varon had hormonal treatment that led to a failed drug test at the Women's World Cup and her suspension.
FIFA provisionally suspended Varon after she failed an out-of-competition doping control on Saturday in Leverkusen. Varon has requested a B sample test.
FIFA did not say what substance was involved and the Colombian federation also gave no details of the treatment.
The federation says Varon ...

Pierre Part man accused of drug possession
Published: Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 8:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 8:37 p.m.
After a prescription bottle fell out of his pants during a police pat down, a Pierre Part man was arrested for possession and intent to distribute drugs, authorities said.
Assumption sheriff's deputies said they pulled over Cody J. Theriot, 32, 322 Shell Beach Road, Monday for an illegal tint on his car. A woman and a 1-year-old baby were also in the car.
During the stop, a deputy saw Theriot place something in the front of his jeans, police said.
During the pat down, an orange prescription bottle with the label torn off fell to the street from within the bottom of his jeans leg. Theriot picked it up and tried to put it in his pants' pocket, but the deputy stopped him, police said.
The bottle contained 133 small pills believed to be Xanax, police said.
Theriot was booked with possession with intent to distribute the Xanax and illegal possession in the presence of a child. Theriot is in the Assumption Parish jail in lieu of a $10,000 bond.

Helen Kapalos (born 17 March 1971) is a Greek-Australian journalist and television presenter. She is the Chairperson of the Victorian Multicultural Commission; her four-year term commenced on 17 August 2015.[1]
Kapalos began her career in her home town of Newcastle, New South Wales, as a reporter for ABC Radio in 1994, a journalist at 2HD & NEW FM before moving to television with SBS in Sydney. She returned to Newcastle, where she worked both as an award-winning reporter and news presenter for NBN Television News.[2]
Nine Network[edit]
In 2002, she went back to national broadcasting and joined the Nine Network where she worked as both a reporter and news presenter. In 2005, she became a news presenter on Nightline and later became a reporter on National Nine News and A Current Affair.[2]
Network Ten[edit]
In 2006, Kapalos moved to Melbourne and the Network Ten, where she took over from Jennifer Hansen as co-achor of Ten News at Five with Mal Walden.[3] In November 2012, Kapalos's contract was not renewed, after the network decided to switch to a solo-presenter format with Walden.
Seven Network[edit]
On 11 February 2013, Kapalos began presenting the weeknight Seven Network Today Tonight show in New South Wales and Victoria.[4] She broadcast from the Seven Network's Melbourne studios.

She also reports as a senior correspondent on other network news shows when major news stories arise.[5]
Later work[edit]
She is the executive producer, writer and director of the independent documentary A life of its Own, which she conceptualised during her time as a Senior Correspondent with the Seven Network's current affairs program Sunday Night, when she reported on a series of stories on medical marijuana. Previously she was the presenter for the East Coast edition of the Seven Network's current affairs program Today Tonight, but left at the end of 2013, citing the desire to pursue longer-form storytelling roles.[5]
She has been appointed Chair of the Victorian Multicultural Commission for a four-year term commencing 17 August 2015.[1]

Colour affects what we buy, who buys it and why. Some of these colour influences we may be aware of but the impact on some colours is not something we are consciously aware of. We all know what colours we like and dislike but knowing more about how colour influences buyers – your buyers! – is important. As Colour Graphics explain, the colour of your logo, your packaging, the colour palette of your brochures, business cards and so on could either be attracting or repelling customers. Colour and marketing Marketing is the life blood of any business. Fail to get it right and your business could stutter and flounder. You may look on with a certain degree of envy as your competitors seem to hit the marketing nail on point each and every time. Research tells us that the key to successful marketing is by knowing who your audience is, who makes the purchasing decisions and so on. We also know that colour plays an important part role in every buying decision. Your colours let people know what type of business you are. A staggering 93% of purchases are made on visual appearance. You see why colour is so important? For those who bought a practical product, such as a lawnmower, power drill etc., 85% said that the colour of the product and packaging did play a role in their purchase decision. You may think this is too shallow of a feature to place a purchase decision on. Remember that we are not suggesting colour is the only consideration for buying decisions. However, it is one that plays an important role for sure. Branding As a business, you are aware of the importance of branding your products, services and everything about your company. This is an overarching term that covers everything from how people feel when they buy from you, to the level of after care and customer service they receive. As you would imagine, colour plays an important part in this process too. From the colour of your logo, to the backdrop of your brochures, the design of your business cards and so on. Logos and fonts etc. should all be used consistently as the key to successful branding is recognition. You want someone who looks at your logo etc. to instantly associate it with you and who you are and what you do. Statistics show there is 80% more brand recognition when the same colours are used throughout marketing material. Global differences Be careful not to just decide colours you like and then run with them for your business. Keep in mind that the colours you choose may say a lot about your likes and dislikes, but may not be the right thing for what you want your business to say to your customers. The colour palette listed below is commonly used throughout North America and Europe. Be aware that different colours can also mean different things in different cultures. It is widely accepted that the following colours represent the stated emotions: • Yellow is optimistic and youthful • Red signifies energy • Blue is thought to signify trust • Green to some people can men wealth and restfulness • Orange surprisingly, is used in call to actions and instructions because it is thought to be an aggressive colour • Pink is romantic and is often used on products aimed and girls and women • Black is powerful and sleek • Purple is thought to sooth and is often used on packaging of cosmetic products, specifically anti-aging Can you recognise why some well-known companies have the colour logos and brand that they do? Attracts and repels So colour can attract or repel a shopper and this is why you need to pay careful attention to what colours you use. Impulse buying, such as fast food or sale shopping, is often associated with red, black and royal blue colours. Consider the 'sale' signs that many retail stores use; there is usually a lot of red in these signs, with the only other colour being white. Shoppers on a budget, or those looking to manage their money by getting the best deal possible, often will associate navy blue and teal with getting a bargain. Budget Supermarkets also tend to use navy and teal in their signage and advertising. Traditional purchases, such as clothing, tend to use pastel shades such as pretty pinks and sky or light blues. Consider the logos and branding of high end designer labels and you see these colour influences as well. Online too! It is not just printed material and logos that need to be spot on about colour and design. 52% of people said they wouldn't re-visit a website if they didn't like the design or thought it didn't fit the company or product. Getting the colour right is important and something you should spend some time researching and looking into. What do the colours you use say about your business? Is this the right message for your customers?If you like what you have learned in this post, please feel free to contact www.colourgraphics.com for all your colour inspiration and graphics needs. Colour Graphics is an established online print company, offering the latest printing and colour reproduction techniques across a range of products. Understanding colour in design is key to the success of a printed piece of marketing material. Their design team is on-hand to offer customers design and colour advice.
With a new-store opening cost between $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, Rebounderz Indoor Trampoline Arena Franchise is not for the faint of heart. Still, Franchisee Chris Bouma from Grand Rapids, Michigan is happy with his franchise choice and tells us, "It takes an incredible amount of time and quite a bit of business savvy. You will work harder than you ever have, but it is also exciting and rewarding at the same time. Be prepared to answer about a thousand questions every day. You're the boss and you need to be able to make decisions quickly and move on."
Whether your business is just a dream or something you're already deeply involved with, a professional loan can provide the boost your company needs. For operations of all sizes, credit can be an integral part of expansion, growth and success, and rather than seeing credit as a liability, it's important to recognize its role as an investment into the future of your business. To illustrate, here's a look at a few of the ways a professional loan can help ramp up your business's growth.
I have learned one of the most important things about starting a new business is to just get going. You can personally get so tied up in the planning stage that it can be paralyzing. Not to mention that everyone you tell your business idea to will undoubtedly have a negative comment to make. It's not that they don't believe in you. Rather, it is the fear inside of them that they project onto you; in an attempt to spare you from the failure they fear themselves.
Many people want to start their own business and most think they need thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so. While that is true for many types of business, it is also possible, with a bit on ingenuity and elbow grease, to start a business for $100 or less. Check out these great ideas:
If you work from home, or are planning to, it is important to know what to look for when buying a new home with the perfect home office space.You want to start a home business, but your current home isn't really suited to it. So, you're on the hunt for a new one. Here's what to look for in a home that's suitable for running a home business.
Unfortunately, in business and in life, there are situations that come up from time to time that may just require a person to contract the services of a confidential investigation and loss prevention company. Finding the right investigator is no easy task and will take some work. Usually, there are a variety of different investigators in an area. The best way to narrow the selection is by taking the time to go in for some consultations. There you will be able to not only meet the investigator but also ask all of the questions you need to so it is a good way to start.
Many business opportunity seekers consider taking out a second mortgage on their home in order to get their seed capital. Of course, when applying for a second mortgage, it certainly helps if your credit score is good. But what if it's not? There used to be a time when having less-than-perfect credit meant getting an automatic, unequivocal, no from lenders and banks. Things have changed. Today you can get credit with bad credit, if you know how.
Are you aware that Instagram recently introduced an amazing update that gives you the chance to record or post 60-second videos? This is a drastic increase from its former 15-second videos. In addition, this forward thinking social network is bringing in unique video capabilities like video view counts and slow-motion potentiality, to stage. Instagram has portrayed remarkable growth over the past few years, and this has greatly improved the video content for many brands.
I realize there are a lot of real estate "flippers" out there. With all of the television programs on it makes it all look almost too easy. Most flippers will tell you that buying the property is the hardest part. Most successful flippers will also say, buying a property is when you make your money. You have to buy it right and make sure you do not over pay for the property.

Top Academy Award nominees will have a politically-charged gift in their swag bag this year - a luxury trip to Israel paid for in part by a government that hopes such celebrity junkets will offset news coverage of the country's troubles.
Israel's tourism ministry said the trips, valued at $15,000-$18,000, not including first-class airfare which would be funded by another party whom it did not identify, are on offer to actors and directors vying for Oscars in the Feb. 28 ceremony.
Israel has long sought ways to overcome any misgivings foreign visitors might have about the security situation, given the simmering conflict with the Palestinians.
"These are the most senior people in the film industry in Hollywood and leading opinion-formers who we are interested in hosting," said Tourism Minister Yariv Levin. "They will experience the country first-hand and not through the media."
Among those to be offered the 10-day VIP trip-for-two will be actors Sylvester Stallone, who signed a pro-Israel petition during the 2014 Gaza war, and Leonardo DiCaprio, who sent Israeli paparazzi into a frenzy in 2010 while visiting the country's top model, Bar Refaeli, his girlfriend at the time.
DiCaprio is among the nominees for best actor this year.
One of Stallone's rivals for best supporting actor, Mark Rylance, is a pro-Palestinian activist in Britain who might be less inclined to take up the offer.
The junket would be offered to all 25 artists nominated in the best actor/actress, best supporting actor/actress and best director categories and to the host of the ceremony, the ministry said.
Jazz fusion artist, Stanley Jordan is known for his touch technique which allows him to play melodies and chords simultaneously. He can also play two different guitars or a guitar and piano at the same time.

I'm giving this place 5 stars, only because there is so little to do in Santa Rosa and this offers many different activities for all ages. The spot has a playground, making it ideal for families on the road who want to let their kids run and burn off some energy after long car rides. They have charcoal grilling stations and picnic stations also great for families who want to have a little cookout. The grocery store called T&D Food stores located just further down the road sells charcoal, hamburgers, and hot dogs, so a cookout is totally possible if you don't have an RV or your own food.
The lake part is really great if you are looking to cool off. I thought the lake was very clean, and they have at least 4 life guards on duty. There is a diving board, and even paddle boats available, complete with life preservers. There are few lounge chairs, but many of them have not been used. I found this to be the perfect spot to sunbath in, especially if you are staying in a hotel that only has an indoor pool in Santa Rosa. Plenty of parking, and lots of places to walk. There are also shaded/covered areas for larger groups if you wanted to gather - many were having small birthday parties out there. They have bathroom/changing facilities as well.

In a fantasy baseball world that unfortunately gets cluttered with so many injuries -- and there were more significant ones Tuesday -- it's always nice to see a young pitcher with nasty stuff make us smile. It reminds us why baseball is so awesome and helps us forget that, for example, Tampa Bay Rays lefty Matt Moore might need season-ending surgery and half the sluggers seem to have thumb injuries. Kansas City Royals right-hander Yordano Ventura was all positive Tuesday, reaching triple digits with his fastball and flummoxing Tampa Bay Rays hitters with his changeup for six scoreless innings. He didn't win because the Royals never scored and through seven games they still haven't homered but oh, Ventura did his part.

|Report: Celtics center Jermaine O'Neal cited in Charles Oakley's assault lawsuit
|07.15.11 at 11:45 am ET
This past season, when Charles Oakley was hired by the Bobcats as an assistant coach in January, Celtics guard Ray Allen openly wondered why it took so long for a team to give Oakley a chance to mentor younger players in the NBA. Now, we might know why, and Allen's teammate Jermaine O'Neal might have to answer for it.
A group of Las Vegas security officers are countersuing Oakley, seeking damages of at least $20,000 for a May 2010 incident — during which Jermaine O'Neal was reportedly present — that they claim was the third of a series of assaults by Oakley on Vegas casino employees since 2005, according to business journal Vegas Inc.
Oakley had sued them along with the Aria hotel and casino on May 12, claiming the officers physically attacked him following an argument at the hotel-casino's Liquid pool. Oakley missed the final 13 games of the season with back problems he claimed stem from this incident, and the Bobcats have since hired assistant coach Rob Werdann as a potential replacement should Oakley not be able to return to the bench next season.
Here's the passage from the Vegas Inc. website that indicates the current starting Celtics center was present when the incident went down:
|Nate Robinson loves locked out sports
|07.12.11 at 2:16 pm ET
Quite an offseason for former Celtics guard Nate Robinson. First, he was arrested for urinating on a bookstore in a New York City suburb. Now, after joining hundreds of players in the unemployment line due to the NBA lockout, the former University of Washington two-sport athlete is hoping to spend his summer trying out for the NFL. Here's what the 5-foot-9 Robinson told SLAM Magazine:
"I might go play football. Do something that nobody's tried to do. If I can, I would love to play football a little bit. I've been doing a little bit of training. Why wouldn't you want to have an NBA player that can play football try out? That's a lot of publicity for your organization."
There's one little problem: The NFL is locked out, too. Kinda makes you realize why Robinson decided to pull up for 3-pointers when he was on a 1-on-4 fast break. It's fairly safe to assume Nate Robinson is the best two-sport locked out athlete in history.
|Would locked out Celtics consider signing overseas?
|07.08.11 at 5:16 pm ET
Almost 50 years after The Beatles led The British Invasion of rock bands into the popular culture in the United States, none of the self-proclaimed Heatles have committed to participate in what increasingly appears to be an invasion of NBA players into basketball leagues overseas.
But that's not to say none of the NBA's superstars aren't (triple negative!) considering overseas options while the league's owners have locked out the players with the absence of a collective bargaining agreement. A different wrinkle in this Eurasian Invasion pops up almost every day.
Nets point guard Deron Williams is leading the charge of superstars attempting to create leverage for the players, as he reportedly agreed in principal to a one-year, $5 million deal with Turkey-based (get it?) Besiktas should the NBA's lockout last through the summer. Upstart Canadian National Basketball League has already extended invites to the likes of Dirk Nowitzi and LeBron James. Imports like Zaza Pachulia, Andrei Kirilenko, Marco Belinelli, Patrick Mills and Carlos Delfino are all considering returning overseas. Free agent veterans like Sonny Weems and undrafted free agents like David Lighty have already agreed to deals that will keep them in Europe even if there is a 2011-12 NBA season. And Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant has discussed the possibility of leading a group of players represented by his agent, Rob Pelinka, on an exhibition tour of China.
It's hard to believe that Nenad Krstic started this trend, snubbing the Celtics and other free-agent center pursuers to sign with CSKA Moscow for two years and $9.8 million. With new rumors emerging every day, are the Celtics in danger of losing any other members of the 2010-11 roster overseas?
Let's examine the potential for Celtics to explore options abroad …
|Austin Rivers dunks twice on Rasheed Wallace
|at 3:23 pm ET
Duke University's No. 1 basketball recruit and son of Celtics coach Doc Rivers, Austin Rivers put on a show in his debut at the SJG Greater NC Pro-Am (a.k.a. "The Rucker of the South"), dunking not once but twice on former Celtic Rasheed Wallace — thanks to some vintage Sheed defense (or lack thereof).
|Mickael Pietrus: 'Celtics are interested in me'
|07.07.11 at 10:10 am ET
Four months after the Celtics could have used his services — and possibly avoided trading Kendrick Perkins for Jeff Green — Suns swingman Mickael Pietrus is claiming the C's are interested in him, according to French newspaper L'Ãquipe (via HoopsHype).
Phoenix didn't use me, but that's their problem. I'm going to continue working. The only thing I care about is winning a title. … A lot of teams are interested in me, like the Lakers or the Celtics. This came from the best player in the world: Kobe Bryant. He told me two months ago that he would like to see me with the Lakers.
It's unclear whether the curiosity coming from Boston is new or just an aftereffect from the rumors that circled around Pietrus and fellow Suns swingmen Grant Hill and Jared Dudley before this past NBA trade deadline.
|Report: Von Wafer wouldn't rule out Celtics return
|07.06.11 at 1:29 pm ET
In order to break his streak of starting with a new team each time he enters an NBA training camp, Von Wafer is reportedly opening to returning to the Celtics if and when the 2011-12 season begins, according to a report by ESPN.com's Chris Forsberg. Here's what Wafer's agent, Terrance Doyle, told Forsberg:
"Von would love to be back. He's never gotten that opportunity to go back with a team."
But do the Celtics want Wafer back? Especially considering they gave Wafer's No. 12 to their first-round pick (Purdue's JaJuan Johnson) and drafted a shooting guard with their No. 55 pick (Purdue's E'Twaun Moore) in addition to signing another undrafted guard (Pittsburgh's Gilbert Brown). Not to mention the number of quality shooting guards expected to be available via free agency — including Delonte West.
In just 9.5 minutes per over 58 games — no thanks in part to a calf injury — Wafer averaged 3.2 points on 42.1 percent shooting from the field (26.9 from 3-point range). Unless you count his preseason brawl with West, Wafer didn't exactly provide the firepower off the bench the Celtics had hoped from a guy who scored 9.7 points on 44.7 percent shooting (39.0 from 3) during his 2008-09 campaign in a Rockets uniform.
While Wafer's defensive deficiency improved under the tutelage of Doc Rivers & Co., he only reached double-digit scoring just six times during the season. Two of those performances came in the final two games of the regular season, when the starters rested, and two more came in 15-point blowouts. Chances are the Celtics could find somebody to provide better punch on both ends of the floor — even at the bottom of the salary barrel.
|Is Wyc Grousbeck willing to lose entire NBA season?
|07.01.11 at 9:30 am ET
The NBA officially entered a lockout at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, and while positive signs are emerging from the NFL camp, more and more questions are developing about whether NBA owners and players can negotiate a collective bargaining agreement before the league starts losing games.
In fact, some owners are willing to lose the entire 2011-12 NBA season in order to get what they want, and Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck is among them, according to Yahoo! Sports columnist Adrian Wojnarowski:
Back in the labor talks of 2005, Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck would say over and over in the negotiating sessions: The lockout is an investment.
Grousbeck smartened up, kept that thought to himself, but rest assured the mindset hasn't changed. He's one of the owners believed to be willing to lose the next season, along with Phoenix's Robert Sarver.
While the Celtics are thought to be one of the few teams that could actually benefit from a shortened season — considering the aging legs of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Jermaine O'Neal — only Grousbeck would benefit from a lost season, as $31.2 million worth of Garnett and Allen would come off the books. That is, unless you think Dwight Howard is wearing green if and when the 2012-13 season comes around.

The Never-Ending Quest For The Perfect Social Network
Q: Do we really need more social networks? A: Yes, and we always will.
The road to the perfect social network will be paved with the discarded corpses of networks past. Which is precisely why we need more of them.
Yesterday, my inbox was besieged with over 40 emails in less than four hours, all from Potluck, a new link-sharing social network from the team behind Branch. While nobody enjoys being spammed, I noticed that the names in each of the notification emails weren't strangers, bots, or friend-happy "gurus," but actual trusted acquaintances. Turns out I'd met most of them in person or we'd at least had substantial interaction over Twitter. The friend requests read like a "best of" of my Twitter social graph. I accepted every one.
This is a growing trend with the new social networks I join. Each time another one pops up, it's easier to cobble together new cliques of internet friends and acquaintances and whittle out unnecessary accounts from other social feeds like Twitter and Facebook. There's a great deal of repetition, but it's also a chance to easily cut out the noise or irrelevance that tends to plague older social graphs — another chance at creating "the perfect feed."
It's now easier than ever to assemble a graph online. That's why the Snapchats, WhatsApps, and Vines of the world are able to appear seemingly out of nowhere: They represent a second (or third, or fourth) draft of your previous connections, a crude evolution of your online ecosystem where each version is a little different and a little better than the last. Just as we're never going to stop building and pruning our social connections in the real world, we'll never stop finding a better social group online.
There's a good and an easy case to be made that there are way too many social networks out there. Tech journalists roll eyes daily at pitches heralding secondary social networks that artlessly graft features from prominent social networks onto a new skin ("it's like Pinterest for dogs!"). Even the most casual of internet users probably has somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 social media accounts, if you include email.
Yet just as quickly as they're conceived and then hyped, social networks fall into obscurity, become "uncool," and die. None are immune — not even Facebook. Facebook's power is in its graph; it was the first of its kind, giving users a good approximation of their actual, real-life friendships, real names and all. But Facebook is getting old, and so is its graph. For the select group that's been on Facebook nearly a decade, the social graph has become more like a social time capsule than an accurate representation of their lives. For some, nostalgia is a draw. But as more of the daily minutiae of our lives are lived online, immediate relevancy has never been more compelling — or important.
And that's what makes moments like yesterday's matter, and why the sign-up process and social structure of a new service is so important. Founder Josh Miller articulated this to GigaOm yesterday in an interview, asking, "Will it take longer for us to grow because it's not a follower model? Yes, but I think in the long run it's going to be a lot more powerful and defensible and unique."
Miller seems to understand that it's all about the graph, and that everything else is icing. It's why Twitter hasn't taken off for a lot of my non-journalist/news junkie friends and relatives, and why I rarely think to log onto Pinterest. In reality, it's less about the service than the people who want to use it, and their immediate relation to you. Features matter more in terms of who they'll attract relative to you than what you'll get out of them directly.
At a lecture a few weeks back, Google's Eric Schmidt was asked by a frustrated developer how young entrepreneurs are expected to pony up the cash to build a successful tech product in an increasingly crowded investment landscape. In an evening full of boring stock answers from the Google chairman, his answer was brutally honest. "Building isn't expensive, attention is," he told the developer. "In this business, the core scarcity is attention." When it comes to social networks, attention is best won creating useful, and most importantly, familiar environments.
For Potluck, that crucial moment is playing out right now, as users begin to construct new friend graphs and feeds. For some, the notification emails may just be added noise to an already crowded room. For others, it could be the perfect shot to cut the fat and build their ideal network. Or, at least, a more perfect one.

We had stayed in this hotel other times before. The staff is extremely friendly and nice, specially the lady at the concierge. We stayed at a suite. The rooms are very clean and beautifully decorated with spacious bathrooms, they look new. The beach is nice and you have tables set to have lunch just outside the pool area next to the beach. We always have a great time there.
The only difference this time is that we had an incident with the valet parking.
This is what happened: one morning (Jun-16th) we asked for our car. It would usually take a minute or two but curiously this time took a lot longer. DANGER: if it takes too long, be aware!
Ten minutes waiting and no one had brought us the car, so we asked one of the ladies there and she went downstairs to see what was happening with our car. Another ten minutes later someone brought it. When I got in and we were going out of the hotel I noticed a dent in the hood; I told my husband, but since we were running late for a meeting he had, we decided we would continue and deal with it later. OUR MISTAKE, I admit it, we should have stopped and parked back at the hotel to inform them. But since we had all the car insurances included in our Hertz contract, we didn't really worry. (note: the hotel didn't know that).
When we got back to the hotel that afternoon, we told the staff at the valet parking and a guy (Sebastian I think) told us he would contact us as soon as he took a look at the cameras. So we went to our room and waited. And waited, and waited. No one ever called.
The following morning when we were heading out, a bunch of guys were all together whispering like kids and looking at us, then this Sebastian guy approached and showed us a 'picture' of the car (actually a snapshot from the video) 'showing' as he said "that there was no dent in the hood by the time we took the car" that June 16th morning...I complete lie because that was the moment when I saw the dent, so it was there for sure. At that same time another guy would jump from behind and added (like a small child) that "he wasn't supposed to be showing me that" What? Really? Maybe he might as well showed me the whole footage since -of course- with the car moving and the light reflecting on the surface I would have been able to actually see the dent. But, to tell you the truth I wasn't in the mood to argue with that guy, I was on vacations! And after what he had just told me it was clear to me he was lying to my face, and covering up for someone else. HORRIBLE WAY TO MANAGE THE SITUATION.
The following day, as we were checking out, my husband asked for someone to give us a response before we left. Just then the manager appeared and talk to him. It was just then when my husband let the manager know that we weren't trying to make the hotel pay for anything since we had it all covered with the car insurance already, we just wanted someone to take responsibility, which never happened.
So, (I'm sorry for writing so much) be aware of the valet parking, just take a close look every time they give you your car!
