Budget airline easyJet today said its profits were set to beat expectations after its new strategy, which includes appealing to more business passengers, started to bear fruit.
The airline said it has now sold 75% of its seats for the key summer season and expects full-year pre-tax profits of between £200 million and £230 million. Analysts had been expecting an average of £179 million.
Revenues in the three months to the end of June increased 23% to £935 million after it increased its number of flights and ancillary revenues, which include charges to check-in bags, rose 17% per seat to £11.65.
The airline said the number of passengers flying on business increased 20% in the quarter.
It follows the launch of its new flexible fare targeted at business travellers that gives passengers the option of changing their flight up to two hours before the scheduled departure time as it looks to diversify its offer away from the budget end of the tourist market.
The airline's strategy to target business passengers announced in November included flying to more city routes. The move will help increase demand for flights throughout the year, making easyJet less reliant on seasonal tourism.
EasyJet said the number of passengers increased 17.3%, partly because the same period in the previous year suffered disruption as a result of the Icelandic ash cloud, which caused flights to be cancelled.
But it said passenger numbers were still up 8.8% once the effect of the eruption was stripped out.
Total revenues per seat increased 5.2% to £56.02. Within this, ticket prices were up 2.5% to £44.37 with rise mainly being driven by the increase in ancillary revenues.
EasyJet last year announced it would pay its maiden dividend in January 2012 after full-year profits nearly trebled to £154 million. It today said there was a possibility that the payment could be increased above the 20% initially proposed, depending on the full-year performance.
An increased dividend would please founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, whose family controls around 38% of the shares, and has long called for the company to deliver a return to shareholders.
Shares opened 14% higher today.

A few years ago, I worked at a wood panel laminating factory. The outfeed station specifically. My job was to manually lift the freshly laminated 4 x 8 sheets of plywood as they came non-stop off
the line. I would stack them 25 high before banding them and moving them with a forklift into the warehouse for shipping.
This was inarguably the worst job in the place. The worst recognized job, at least. The guy who cleaned the men's room behind the 50 hard laboring and hard living workers after the morning lunch wagon visit really had the worst job, but his didn't even register on the chart. Nor were the prospects of the position such that he ever would. At least I could look forward to working the laminator some day if I played my cards right.
Sure, I'd have to work my way up to it. If I applied myself, I could probably get promoted to the infeed station within a year. Those guys were living the dream. Sitting on a forklift all day, moving stacks of plywood into position on the conveyor belt... I'd bet for a nearly double digit wage at that. I'd just have to wait for one of them to go out on a worker's comp claim or get fired for being drunk on the job. Either seemed likely within any 12 month period.
Although the machine supervisor, Ed, still had a few teeth, I could tell by their condition that he had already given up on them. Hell, I would have too. 3 teeth aren't really enough to be functional anyway. I thought that maybe after a few years spent runnng the laminator I'd make a play for his job. Boy, would he be surprised when that day came! Sitting in a plexiglass cube and lording over 5 laborors while chain smoking butts all day would be an even sweeter deal than running the laminating machine. I bet he was making 12 bucks an hour, easy.
Yes, I would bide my time. As I lifted the large panels from the conveyor, I wondered if I would become the supervisor before he lost all of his teeth. I tried to imagine the life cycle of a tooth when left to it's own devices. Taking into account the positions of the hangers on, which were left upper canine, right upper incisor and right lower incisor, I realized there were no tight crevices in which particulates could become trapped. Surely this would decrease the rate of decay to a slight but measurable degree. I was pretty sure he was a drinking man, so I wondered if the antiseptic properties of alcohol provided any benefit to his teeth. I concluded not. Surely he'd been drinking and losing teeth concurrently for a long time. I estimated his age to be mid-50's, but it's difficult to tell with someone who has lived that hard.
For ease of the calculation, I put him at 50 and gave him the benefit of the doubt that he probably didn't start losing teeth until he was 20. That meant he'd lost 29 teeth in 30 years, roughly one a year on average. I extrapolated that in some time between 2 and 3 years, he'd be completely toothless. Of course, I realized this overly simplified formula left plenty of margin for error, but it nonetheless provided me a necessary timeframe in which I could work to achieve my goal.
With agressive optimism, I figured I would spend 6 months at the outfeed. There is a certain pride in working one's way up from the absolute bottom, and I intended to harness it to my advantage. The next logical move would be the front end, loading plywood onto the conveyors. I'd probably be there for a year, 18 months tops.
Joe, the guy who ran the laminator's controls didn't look like he had much left to give. If the stars lined up, he'd be ready to hang his hat right about the time I could expect to move up from the infeed station. That would put me at two years out from my humble beginning, with one tooth left to beat and one year to do it.
About this time, I realized that one year spent running the controls would not necessarily a machine supervisor make, especially when somebody already holds the position. Since Ed was unlikely to be moving any further up the ladder, I'd probably be stuck running the laminator until he either retired or died. Even as badly as I imagined he lived, he'd likely be around for at least another dozen years.
I came to that conclusion on my third day working there. This coincided with me earning enough money to meet my rent payment that month. I silently conceded my defeat to the triple threat of old Ed's remaining teeth. With 3 days pay in hand, I left for lunch, knowing I wouldn't be returning.

The Ex Files: A Novelby Jane Moore
Just as soon as she has one last teensy-weensy little fling.
Then comes the dicey issue of the guest list.
After five years spent maneuvering for Mr. Right, beautiful, feisty Faye Parker has finally snared a sensitive cutie named Mark. So when he pops the question, Faye is fully prepared to step out of the dating rat-race, call the caterer, and don the veil.
Just as soon as she has one last teensy-weensy little fling.
Then comes the dicey issue of the guest list. First there's Nat, Faye's ex—a narcissistic fashion model hell-bent on flaunting his substantial charms in Faye's face, his latest Playboy bunny in tow. Next there's Kate, Mark's ex—a woman so indignant she's not the bride that she's liable to slit Faye's zipper. And, of course, there's Adam, Faye's flamboyant sidekick, milking the chaos for all it's worth while shamelessly ogling Nat's abs. As the rehearsal dinner lurches toward the brink of a spin-the-bottle-fueled imbroglio, Faye must face the fact that marriage means more than a flawlessly executed reception. She's got a serious decision to make—about Mark, about love, and about her own deepest desires.
Wickedly funny, The Ex Files is a sexy, sophisticated caper that offers a brazenly edgy take on the complexities of the modern bride.

Saturday, June 22
11:55 p.m.
He booted open the bedroom door with his bare foot, then removed her slip-dress in one swift motion as she raised her arms. Now wearing nothing more than a G-string, Faye yielded as he pushed her against the wall and continued the kissing session that had started on the living-room sofa just five minutes earlier.
While she fumbled with his shirt buttons, he saved time by undoing his belt and fly, then kicked off his trousers, which fell in a crumpled heap on the floor. Maneuvering her towards the bed, he pushed her backwards so that she plunged into the duck-down duvet. The movement jolted the bedside table, and a framed photograph of a middle-aged woman crashed to the floor. Standing over her, he stared into her eyes, a crooked smile on his lips, then slowly pulled off the G-string. He dangled it on the end of his finger, then tossed it aside.
Damn, he's sexy, she thought, as he lowered himself towards her, never taking his gaze from hers. She fully expected him to be a "Monopoly" lover, a term she and her friends had coined for men who selfishly moved straight to "Go," so her breath caught as he started to slow-kiss his way down her body from just beneath her breasts.
Unlike the inept performances of the stamp lickers she and her friends also complained about, this one knew exactly what he was doing.
She closed her eyes to savor the sensation, then snapped them open again. Initially she'd wanted nothing more than to have sex with this man, but the reality of knowing that it was about to happen suddenly brought her to her senses. What on earth was she doing?
It had been easy, as flirtation always was. A couple of meaningful stares across a crowded cattle market--or do they call them wine bars?--followed by a couple of slow lip-lickings. Within minutes of her friend Susie's departure to catch the last train, he was at Faye's side.
"May I buy you a drink?" He smiled.
"I already have one, thanks." She held up the remnants of a glass of white wine.
"In that case, as we're being pedantic, may I buy you another?"
Normally, having established a man's interest, Faye would have brushed him off and headed home, but tonight she had found herself nodding. "OK."
She encountered gorgeous men all the time in her job as a model, but there was something mesmerizing about this one. He had dark hair, blue eyes, and a well-toned body, but he also had an X factor that intrigued her. Flecks of gray were starting to appear just above his ears, but it suited him. He was confident and, judging by his Gucci shirt and Ralph Lauren loafers, not short of a bob or two.
"Are you drinking alone?" she said, craning to see if anyone was behind him.
"Yep. Just fancied a quick one." He waved his beer in front of her. "But it turned into several."
"Are you from around here?" She couldn't believe she was asking such humdrum questions, but his confidence and maturity unnerved her.
"No." He didn't elaborate. "You?"
"Just round the corner." She felt her neck flush as she said it.
For the next half-hour, they were engrossed in conversation, never taking their eyes off each other until Faye felt a hand on her shoulder. It was the bar manager, gesturing behind him where chairs were being stacked on the tables.
"I'll walk you home," he said, in a tone that suggested he wasn't going to take no for an answer.
"Thanks." Curiously, she felt protected rather than threatened.
During the short walk, she had vowed she would say goodbye on the doorstep, but when they arrived at her front door she felt compelled to spend more time with him.
"Coffee?" she had asked. "And, no, that's not a euphemism."
"Damn." He clicked his fingers in mock frustration. "But can I have wine instead?"
The bottle of Chablis they shared had been her undoing.
Now she was studying him as, hair flopping into his face, he concentrated on the task in hand. She still felt attracted to him, but her desire for him had been outweighed by pangs of guilt about her uncharacteristic sluttishness. Yes, he was gorgeous, sexy, funny, and interesting, but he was also a complete stranger and she just didn't do that sort of thing.
"Look, if you don't mind, I'd rather we didn't go all the way," she said. She put her hands on his shoulders and eased him away.
A fleeting look of surprise crossed his face before he fell beside her, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead. She grabbed a corner of the duvet and draped it over her naked body. Then she reached into her handbag and pulled out a pack of Marlboro Lights. The small chrome clock on the bedside table read 12:10 a.m.
Propping herself up on one elbow, she glanced at him lying next to her, then he suddenly caught her eye. Embarrassed, she blew smoke towards his face, then giggled to show it was a joke.
"Your bedroom habits could do with a little work." He frowned.
"Look, I don't mean to be rude, and I'm really sorry, but this doesn't seem like such a good idea after all, and I have to be up horribly early. So if you don't mind, I'll call you a cab," she said.
He raised his eyebrows. A small twitch started in his cheek, and his blue eyes turned darker as his pupils expanded. After a few moments, his expression softened and he stroked the side of her face gently. "Why don't I stay a little longer?" he murmured.
Faye was tempted to let him, but she felt deflated and angry with herself for allowing a wine-bar flirtation to develop so far. Now that the effect of the wine had worn off, she realized she knew nothing about this man. He could be a psychotic killer, yet she'd brought him back to her flat without anyone else knowing. How reckless, she thought. How desperate. How unbelievably stupid.
Her mind went into overdrive. She had no plans for Sunday, so her mutilated body might not be found until late next week when maybe her best friend, Adam, or her mother would have made several calls and be wondering where she was. Or perhaps the woman downstairs would eventually notice the smell.
She took another drag of her cigarette and tried to calm herself. Psychotic killers didn't go to wine bars for a casual drink . . . did they?
She gave a cavernous yawn, fatigue creeping up on her, and ground out the cigarette. "As I said, I'd really rather you left." She looked apologetic.
Flopping onto his back, he lay there motionless. For a moment, she thought he was going to be difficult. She couldn't believe it: so many of her female friends had whined that men couldn't wait to leave straight after a sexual encounter, yet this one wanted to stay. It testified to the "treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen" philosophy, but Faye didn't want him keen. She just wanted him out.
He sat up suddenly and swung his tanned, muscular legs out of bed. "Well, at least make me some coffee first. I'll get dressed and follow you down." He picked up his white cotton boxer shorts that were partially tucked inside a leg of his trousers.
Faye was relieved that now an end was in sight to this cheap little episode. "OK." She smiled. "I'll get the cab to come in about ten minutes." She grabbed her white cotton robe from the end of the bed and headed out of the door.
Downstairs, she crashed about opening cupboards and throwing coffee into a mug bearing the words "caffeine queen." Then she rang her local cab firm and asked them to send a car immediately.
"Where to?" asked the dispatcher.
"Um, no idea," said Faye. "The passenger will tell you." She hung up and poured boiling water into the mug.
"Hi." He appeared fully dressed in the kitchen doorway, his suit jacket slung over his arm. He looked disheveled but still gorgeous. "What was your name again?"
She held up a teaspoon. "Milk and sugar?"
"That's an unusual name." He grinned.
Through the beginnings of a headache, she vaguely remembered that his name was something like "Toby" She was pleased he'd forgotten hers. "Let's just keep it as a mysterious encounter," she said.
He looked at her quizzically, then shook his head. "No sugar, just a splash of milk, thanks." He made a small sighing noise. "So, are you in the habit of picking up strange men in bars and bringing them home?"
"No, absolutely not," she said firmly, walking across to the doorway and handing him the mug. As he took it, his hand touched hers and she felt the flutter of butterflies. "It was completely out of character and I won't be doing it again."
"I see. That disappointing, was I?" He took a sip of coffee and peered at her over the rim of the mug.
She wrinkled her nose. "That's really not the issue here."
"So what is?"
"The issue," he said. "What is it?"
"There isn't one. We saw, we conquered, we almost came . . . then I changed my mind. Simple as that. I'm sorry." She looked at her watch and folded her arms, attempting to indicate that the subject was closed.
"Oh, please don't apologize, the pleasure was all mine." He looked at her curiously. "You're unusual, do you know that?"
"You mean I behave like a man?" she replied. "You're probably right, but it doesn't make me a bad person." She just wanted to go upstairs and crawl back into bed . . . alone.
"I didn't say it did. In fact, it's quite refreshing. It's better than being asked to go and choose curtains together."
She laughed a little and looked at him. He was smiling broadly, and she noticed he had a small gap between his front teeth.
In clothes, his broad shoulders and height were accentuated and she wondered whether he'd done any modeling. In the wine bar, he'd brushed aside her question about his job, describing himself as "a glorified salesman." Now, she was dying to ask him to elaborate, but refrained in case it was construed as interest in seeing him again.
There was the faint sound of a cab pulling up outside, followed by the honk of its horn--always a joy for the neighbors at that time in the morning.
"That'll be your cab." She hoped the relief on her face wasn't too obvious.
"Thanks, Sherlock." He grabbed his briefcase, drained his mug, and put it on the kitchen table. "I have a strong feeling the answer is going to be no, but I'll ask anyway. Any chance of seeing you again?"
Faye looked up at him and shook her head. "I doubt it," she said. "I'm getting married next weekend."
Friday, June 28
2 p.m.
"That Michael Caine film with the Minis keeps popping into my head," said Brian, his eyes squeezed shut.
"I think you'll find it was set in Italy, and it was actually a coach that ended up hanging over the cliff. We're in France and this is a Fiat Cinquecento." Mark was grim-faced as he negotiated the twists and turns up the side of the mountain overlooking the town of Ceret. They were on their way to the tiny village of Montferrier, a quaint but unremarkable place.
"Couldn't you just have got married at city hall like normal people?" Brian was looking distinctly green, his cheek pressed against the half-open window. "A quick ceremony, a couple of pigs-in-blankets, then off to the pub. Much more civilized."
"And I was wondering why some girl hasn't snapped you up," said Mark sarcastically, his eyes never leaving the road. "I'm afraid I didn't have much say in it, mate. Faye has pretty much organized the whole thing. All I have to do is turn up."
"If we don't plummet to our deaths first."
"What?" Mark grimaced as the road became even steeper and narrower.
They lapsed into silence, Mark concentrating on the road, his friend on keeping his breakfast down. He wasn't great at traveling in cars at the best of times, but Mark had assured him it was mostly flat from the airport to the village. He'd neglected to mention the road up to the hotel, which looked dangerously as if they'd soon need a sherpa.
"There it is!" Mark pointed, then thought better of it and clamped his hand back on the wheel. The chateau was clearly visible through the trees, its roof highlighted by the afternoon sunshine. "Another ten minutes and we'll be there."
Brian opened his eyes, but was still clutching the sides of his seat. "Can you make it sooner?"
"God, now I've seen it, I'm nervous." Mark's eyes were shining. "It suddenly seems so real . . ." He turned to look at his friend. "I'm getting married. Isn't that exciting?"
"I'm at fever pitch, mate." Brian's voice was flat with nausea.
As Mark negotiated a tricky bend, a donkey pulling a cart came into view. It was being led by a man who looked in no hurry to be anywhere. "This could take a little longer than I thought." He ran a hand through his floppy brown hair and sighed. There was no way he could get past the cart: he would just have to fall in behind and crawl along.
Brian evidently preferred this sedate pace. He fumbled in the pocket of his gaudy Hawaiian shirt, pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit one. He exhaled smoke out of the window, then screwed up his eyes as some floated back into his face. "I still can't believe you're having separate rooms tonight, particularly as you'll be seeing each other at dinner."
Mark shrugged. "Faye wanted to keep a bit of the traditional stuff. She didn't want me to see her dress before the ceremony tomorrow either."
Brian looked surprised. "She doesn't strike me as the traditional type."
"I know what you mean." Mark fiddled with the car radio to see if he could pick up any local stations. "I guess most women like to be a little old-fashioned on their wedding day."
Euro-pop filled the car and Brian let out a low wail. "Turn that shit off. This whole country has van Gogh's ear for music."
Mark laughed. He'd asked Brian to be best man partly because he was a never-ending source of gags and one-liners, but he'd made him swear to keep his speech clean for the benefit of the parents and aged aunts. "How's the speech going?" he asked.
"Not bad." Brian stubbed out the cigarette. "I've had a few thoughts, and I'll add to them when I've met more of your guests at dinner tonight."
"There's enough material there to fill an entire comedy festival, particularly my aunt Ethel. She's the only person I know with Tourette's." He grinned as a memory popped into his head. "She once told our local vicar he was a twat, although she claimed later she meant to say twit."

This book started out so good - very savvy, funny, had me laughinig out loud... but then it started to drag on and on and on. The conversations kept repeating themselves, and then the plot twists kick in out of nowhere and didn't make a single bit of sense. It's like she changed her mind on how the book should end as she was writing it. It also seemed like she put this together rather quick and didn't take the time to make the characters make sense with their actions. I doubt anyone re-read this before it was published, considering it had at least 7 blatant typos in it. She could have done so much more, and it ended up too unrealistic - especially the ending! I realize it's not a literature classic, but for chick lit it was still disappointing.
I loved it! I was completely addicted I couldn't put it down. I believe everyone should read it.
This book is awesome~~I couldn't stop reading it once i started. I loved all the twists in the plot. If you love chic lit, then you definitely don't want to miss this one.
I picked up this book to read on the plane. I had 24 hours of flight time. When I started, I couldn't stop reading it. It was funny and at times shocking. I laughed out loud several times. I almost forgot to get off the plane! Loved it. I would love to read a part two of it.
Just every part of this book was just hilarious. I love the plot, I love the characters...and I LOVE THE TWIST!!.. Its just romance, sex, humor, and all the exes sprung into one fabulous book. Definatly recommend
Easy read, entertaining, funny. Predictable but enjoyable. I finished it in a couple of days. I recommend this book.
It's a must have book. Easy reading, witty, fun, and highly entertaining.

In a study looking at changes in male genitalia over the past 50 years, Italian researchers found that penises were around 10 percent smaller today. The proposed explanations were reasonable: weight gain, pollution, stress and smoking; the researchers said, could be to blame.
Rush Limbaugh's explanation? Feminism. The conservative radio host blamed it on women, saying — "It has to be the feminazis, the chickification and everything else."
Ah yes, "the chickification." And the "everything else."
"Feminazi" has become a favorite term of Limbaugh's — he used it in his now infamous tirade against Georgetown Law student and feminist activist Sandra Fluke. "So, Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal," he said earlier this year. "If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."
- Bomb threats were called into Jewish centers in at least 13 states today, making it the fifth wave of threats since January.

The Revenge of Gaia: Why the Earth is Fighting Back - and how We Can Still Save Humanity
Allen Lane, 2006 - Biology - 176 pages
Lovelock's unique authority and original perspective sets this book apart from other books on environmental change. He speaks as a "planetary physician" with more than forty years' experience of thinking about how to respond to the Earth's needs as a living organism. Illustrated with examples drawn from his experiences around the world, Lovelock draws many radical conclusions, most controversially a passionate advocacy of nuclear energy. This, he argues, is not only a secure, safe and reliable source of energy but also the only way to counter the lethal heat waves and rising sea levels which will increasingly threaten civilisations. Lovelock argues that the only way for humankind to come to terms with Gaia now, and have a chance of surviving, is to embrace science and technology, not reject them. This is his passionate manifesto of how to do that and so lessen our impact on the Earth before it is too late.

Quakers Cross Colonial Counties
By VIRGINIA H. ROLLINGS Columnist
June 13, 1992
Quakers gathered at their rural meeting houses for all-day meetings, traveling long distances for the "Monthly Meetings" that brought the "Friends" together from wide areas. Older members today recall stories of the dinners and social time held between morning and afternoon sessions, baskets of fried chicken, huge platters of country vegetables, and the variety of home-made pies and cakes. In the afternoons, they say, there was a leniency with young people who were allowed to sit outdoors in the buggies.

Wimbledon is still 24 hours away but Roger Federer has already got one up on Andy Murray. It was on Monday last week that Murray walked on to a London stage to model his Wimbledon outfit, a retro design inspired by Fred Perry, Britain's last men's singles winner here 73 years ago.
If the Murray sweater looked like a response to the cardigan Federer wore here last year, the Swiss revealed yesterday that he has taken the fashion game to another level. The champion of tennis style will march on to Centre Court for his first match tomorrow in a military-style jacket. According to the Nike publicity machine, it will be "a more contemporary look this year, whilst still retaining the stylistic cues which make him stand out from the other players".
Federer never looks anything other than the king of cool, but as the former world No 1 looked ahead to the start of Wimbledon he sounded more self-assured than ever.
A weight has been lifted from his shoulders with his victory a fortnight ago at the French Open, which completed his set of Grand Slam titles and put him level with Pete Sampras's all-time record total of 14 – even if the emotional drain had forced the Swiss to pull out of his Wimbledon warm-up event at Halle last week.
"I was mentally drained because I felt like I had to play four finals at the end of Paris because of the pressure," Federer said. "There was such relief and happiness once it was all over that for me it was almost impossible to change it all around again and start a tournament from scratch again two days after."
Federer won the title here two years ago without playing a competitive match in the build-up and does not expect his lack of match practice to be a problem this time. "I feel good," he said. "I feel like I'm playing very well at the moment. It didn't take me much time to get used to the conditions on grass. It never really does. It was good to take a week off, to get away from it all and enjoy the time at home and recover. I feel like I'm ready to go here."
The Swiss said that Rafael Nadal's withdrawal through injury was "obviously very disappointing for the tournament and also for myself". Federer added: "He's my main rival. We've had some wonderful matches over the years, and especially the one here last year was the one that obviously stands out."
Nadal's withdrawal means that Murray is now seeded to meet Federer in the final. Although Federer beat him in their only Grand Slam meeting at last year's US Open final, Murray has won the last four matches between the pair and appears increasingly to have got under the former world No 1's skin.
After losing to Murray in Dubai 18 months ago, Federer said he was surprised at how little Murray's game had changed in the three years since their first match and felt that the Scot would have to become more aggressive in his play.
Although he lavished praise on Murray yesterday – "He's a very gifted player, has a wonderful feel and he's a great tactician" – and said he had always expected him to become a great player, there was a sting in the tail. "He's finally proved it, because it took him some time," Federer went on. "That was the disappointing part, I thought that it took him longer than I expected.
"So I was wrong with my prediction, because I expected him to do better a few years ago. But everything is coming together for him now and he's been rock solid for over a year now, almost two years. So, he's there where he belongs."

Penguins' captain Crosby cleared to resume practicingApril 25, 2013 11:45 PM
Sidney Crosby won't win the NHL scoring championship this season, but he will have a chance to help the Penguins win a Stanley Cup.
Possibly from the very start of the playoffs.
Crosby, who has not played since his jaw was fractured by a deflected shot March 30, received clearance today to resume practicing with his teammates and is expected to do so Friday.
That is a significant step in his recovery, although no decision has been made on when he can try to play.
Crosby is expected to meet with the medical people overseeing his recovery again next week, at which time such a determination could be made.
He definitely will not play in the Penguins' game at New Jersey tonight or in the regular-season finale Saturday against Carolina at Consol Energy Center.
Dressing for Game 1 of the playoffs apparently has not been ruled out.
Although the playoff schedule won't be released for several days, the Penguins will open at home, almost certainly on Wednesday.
Crosby underwent several root canals today to repair some of the damage done when a puck slammed into his face nearly three weeks ago.
Regardless of when he returns, Crosby is expected to continue wearing a plastic shield that protects his jaw. That has been a staple of his equipment since he resumed skating.
Doctors used titanium plates to put Crosby's jaw back together -- it is believed to have been fractured into several pieces, as opposed to a simple, clean break -- and if he were to be hit in the jaw, the healing process might have to begin anew.
Crosby, a runaway leader in the NHL scoring race when he was injured, finally was caught Wednesday night by Martin St. Louis and Steven Stamkos of Tampa Bay.
St. Louis has 58 points, while Crosby and Stamkos are tied for second place with 56.
Crosby is not the only player who will sit out tonight's game against the Devils.
Defenseman Paul Martin (hand surgery) and winger James Neal (concussion) participated in the game-day skate in Newark, but will not play. They could return against the Hurricanes Saturday, however.
Defenseman Brooks Orpik and center Joe Vitale, both of whom have unspecified injuries, did not accompany the team to New Jersey and are listed as day-to-day by coach Dan Bylsma.mobilehome - breaking - penguins

When I drove a taxi, I had to call my customers maam and sir.
They couldn't bear to ride with me because of my smelly fur.
The customers always lost their lunches because of my foul stench.
When my boss got the cleaning bills, he tried to have me lynched.
I got fired because of the cost of having their taxi cleaned.
I peed in the gas tank to get revenge because I'm a fiend.
I have some advice to give to you and it's free.
Unless you're looking for trouble, don't mess with me.
