Update | Kent commercial fire injures man and woman | Kent Regional Fire Authority
December 30, 2011 · Updated 10:00 PM
A fire in a commercial building is currently under investigation this evening after it broke out in the 6800 block of S. 228 Street in the Kent valley at 5:15 p.m. according to Capt. Kyle Ohashi spokesman for the Kent Fire Department.
Two people inside of the business at the time of the fire were injured. One, an adult male, was transported to a local hospital with burns to several parts of his body by King County paramedics. The second, an adult female was examined by paramedics but she declined any assistance. No one else was in the affected occupancy, which manufactures tarps.
Several other businesses in the large concrete tilt-up structure were unoccupied, though at least one suffered minor smoke damage.
Because of the danger of the fire spreading to other businesses, a second alarm was requested by the incident commander. This added several additional fire apparatus to the call. Fortunately, Kent firefighters were able to contain the fire and limit it to the business where it started. Those later arriving units were then returned to their respective stations.
S. 228 Street east of Central Ave. N. was closed by Kent Police for two hours while fire crews worked to extinguish the flames. That street is now open to all traffic.
According to the Kent Fire Investigator, the cause of the fire was a spark that ignited gasoline fumes while a vehicle's fuel tank was being pumped out inside of the business.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Garneau leaving Liberal leadership race, feels Trudeau can't be stopped
OTTAWA - Marc Garneau dropped out of the federal Liberal leadership race on Wednesday and threw his support to front-runner Justin Trudeau, declaring the outcome "a fait accompli."
Trudeau got another boost later in the day when the party agreed to his request to extend the deadline for voter registration by one week, a move likely to most benefit the front-runner.
Garneau's decision followed an internal poll conducted by his campaign last week, which he said showed Trudeau has the backing of 72 per cent of Liberal members and supporters.
Garneau maintained he was a "solid second" with 15 per cent, followed by Vancouver MP Joyce Murray with just over 7 per cent and former Toronto MP Martha Hall Findlay with just over 5 per cent.
"I have done my numbers. I cannot mathematically — and I'm a person who believes in math — I cannot mathematically win," the Montreal MP told a news conference.
"I'm not into denial. The numbers indicate very clearly that Justin is the overwhelming favourite."
However, Murray said she puts no stock in Garneau's survey, the methodology of which her camp finds highly suspect. She said it won't influence her decision to continue her campaign, which has enjoyed a late burst of momentum.
"I'm not going to give it any credit," Murray said in an interview.
"I happen to completely disagree with his assessment that there's only one possible outcome to this race ... It's not a done deal."
Garneau's automated phone poll asked 6,000 Liberal supporters and members to indicate whether they favoured Garneau, Trudeau, Hall Findlay or Murray, in that order and without mentioning the other four contenders.
It was a not a survey of registered voters, the Murray camp noted, even though the outcome will depend on which campaign is best able to get supporters to register and then actually cast ballots during the week of April 6.
Murray's camp is hopeful her supporters — urged on by a host of grassroots and online advocacy groups who back her environmental credentials and her plan for electoral co-operation among progressive parties — are more committed than average about registering and voting.
Nor did Garneau's survey take into account the fact that the results will be weighted to give each riding equal clout, whether they have 1,000 registered voters or 100. Without knowing the distribution of each candidate's support, Hall Findlay pointed out it's impossible to accurately predict the outcome — although no one disputes Trudeau is in the lead.
"For those talking about polls and numbers: we're not naive, and we're fully aware of the challenge," Hall Findlay said in a statement.
However, she added: "There are some ridings with thousands of registered voters — but each one of those ridings is worth 100 points. There are also a large number of ridings with very few, many with fewer than 50. Each one of those ridings is also worth 100 points. We have run a truly national campaign, and have approached it very strategically.
Only those who register will be allowed to cast ballots during the week of April 6; so far only a third of the party's 294,000 members and supporters have done so.
The deadline for registration was supposed to be Thursday but the party has acceded to Trudeau's request and extended it to March 21.
The Trudeau team had argued that the party needs more time to send registration packages to some 100,000 people who didn't provide email addresses — the bulk of whom are Trudeau supporters — and to resolve other technical glitches that threatened to disenfranchise many others.
National membership secretary Matt Certosimo agreed, deciding that extending the deadline was consistent with the party's decision to create a new supporter class, aimed at engaging more Canadians in the selection of the leader.
"If a longer registration period facilitates a further expansion of the number of people able to participate, without putting at risk the security of the vote, then the deadline should be as late as it can possibly be," he said in his ruling on the matter.
Extending registration was opposed strenuously by Murray's camp and to a lesser degree by Hall Findlay and Martin Cauchon.
In a statement, Murray accepted the party's decision but reiterated her concern that the party appears to be changing the rules to accommodate the front-runner.
"We all agreed to a set of parameters and rules that would govern the process and our campaigns," she said.
"Changing them at this late stage has inherent risks particularly when only one of the campaigns asserts that changes need to be made."
In the interview, Murray said she was surprised by Garneau's decision to endorse Trudeau, given that he has repeatedly said a coronation is not in the party's best interests and has accused the front-runner of lacking policy depth, experience and leadership credentials.
Garneau insisted Wednesday that his criticism of Trudeau was "constructive," that the front-runner "has risen to the occasion" and proven an unmatched ability to rally people to the party.
"One must render unto Caesar that which is due to Caesar," he said, adding that he intends to remain a "loyal soldier" under the new leader.
Garneau's departure leaves seven candidates in the running: Trudeau, Murray, Hall Findlay, Cauchon, Deborah Coyne, David Bertschi and Karen McCrimmon.
Garneau, an MP since 2008, kicked off his campaign last November, stressing the economy as his key issue.
Voting for the Liberal leadership will be conducted online and by phone early next month, with the winner to be announced on April 14.

After ending the previous session notably lower, treasuries showed a strong move back to the upside on Thursday in reaction to the latest headlines out of Europe.
Bond prices moved sharply higher over the course of the morning but gave back some ground in the afternoon. Subsequently, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, fell by 6.1 basis points to 1.478 percent.
The strength among treasuries came as traders reacted to comments by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, who traders felt failed to live up to last week's promise to do whatever is necessary to support the beleaguered eurozone.
Speaking at a press conference following the ECB's monetary policy meeting, Draghi told reporters that the central bank "may undertake outright open market operations."
However, traders seemed disappointed that there was not more conviction behind Draghi's remarks and looked to the relative safety of U.S. bonds.
Carl Weinberg, Chief Economist at High Frequency Economics, said, "Once again, we have no commitment to action from the ECB, and no execution of promises previously made."
"Nothing seems set to happen now," he added. "Traders and investors who expected immediate action are, and should be, disappointed."
As a result of the focus on Europe, traders largely shrugged off the release of a report from the Labor Department showing a smaller than expected increase in weekly jobless claims.
The report showed that initial jobless claims crept up to 365,000 in the week ended July 28th from the previous week's revised figure of 357,000. Economists had expected jobless claims to climb to 370,000 from the 353,000 originally reported for the previous week.
While monetary policy has been in focus over the past two days, the monthly U.S. jobs report is likely to take center stage on Friday.
Economists currently expect the Labor Department report to show that U.S. employment rose by about 100,000 jobs in July following a weaker than expected increase of 80,000 jobs in June.
The Institute for Supply Management is also due to release a separate report on activity in the service sector, although the data is likely to be overshadowed by the jobs report.

Is direct debit not like an increase in our bank balance? Because 'debit' increases the cash balance? Respond
@chandhini, Respond?!!!!
A debit on the bank statement is a payment. Direct debits are automatic payments (and therefore a credit in the cash account).
@johnmoffat, If that is the logic,then how are credit transfers assumed to be a tranfsfer from our A/c instead of a trasnfer to our A/c?
@chandhini, *transfers
@chandhini, I know it is confusing but blame the UK banks, not me
They call it a credit transfer because you are transferring money to the credit of someone else's account.
@chandhini, Direct debits are initiated by the person receiving the money from us – they simply tell our bank how much money that want out of our account.
Credit transfers are initiated by the person who is paying the money – we tell our bank to take the money out of our account and credit someone else's account.
@johnmoffat, I've got it now! Thanks!
@chandhini, You are welcome
hhaha im sure i will not have problem with understanding "direct debit" from now on …especially with tht example
lectures are awesome , very helpful . thank you so much OpenTuition.com
brilliant stuff

TORONTO — Paul Mariner is not one to pull his punches, case in point his candid discourse regarding Toronto FC's ill-timed friendly against Liverpool of the English Premier League on Saturday.
"It couldn't have come at a worse time," the Reds manager said Wednesday night following his club's third straight win, a 2-1 decision over the Colorado Rapids. "Because I've got some sore young men in there, battle-hardened and beaten up a little bit."
TFC has played 10 matches since June 16 — going 4-2-4 during that stretch — and will face arguably its stiffest test of the season a week Saturday, when the suddenly surging club plays at BMO Field against the Houston Dynamo, currently occupying the Eastern Conference's fifth and final playoff spot. Moreover, Mariner is trying to manage around a spate of injuries, including defenders Adrian Cann and Jeremy Hall, and most recently, a season-ending ACL tear for irreplaceable striker Danny Koevermans.
The "ridiculous run of games" will continue with seven more in August, and Mariner allowed that his club will be bringing in at least one additional body from outside the organization to augment the depleted forward ranks.
And while Mariner is flattered to be part of Liverpool's first North American off-season tour since 2004, to play host to the storied franchise with 18 English league championships and assist in polishing its international brand, the bulk of his charges would probably prefer a few days rest.
Liverpool embarks on its three-match sojourn under new manager Brendan Rogers, who was hired in June to replace Kenny Dalglish following a tumultuous eighth-place season, the team's lowest standing in 18 years. Several star players were ruled out of the game by Liverpool when the club arrived in Toronto late Friday afternoon. England captain Steven Gerrard, Glen Johnson, Pepe Reina, Andy Carroll, the man with the £35-million ($55.4-million) contract, and recently signed Italian striker Fabio Borini are not eligible to play because of FIFA rules concerning mandatory time off in the summer after international duty. All of them, as well as Martin Kelly, Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing played at the Euro 2012 tournament that ended on July 1. All will be available to Liverpool beginning Monday.
Whether you believe the exhibition is principally for the fans, or the cash grab, seeing even a depleted Liverpool squad have its way with a patchwork opponent will have to suffice. Toronto will field several members of the TFC Academy senior squad (under-18) during the match, Mariner said, in an effort to give key members of the parent club a much needed respite, including forward Ryan Johnson.
"They key for both squads is that we come out of this game without injuries," Mariner said at Friday's news conference. "What Brendan [Rogers] doesn't want is injuries during the pre-season."
Unsure of exactly how many minutes his coach will afford him, TFC midfielder Terry Dunfield had been looking forward to the opportunity match up against Liverpool's stars, especially a luminary such as Gerrard.
"It's a great opportunity to play against one of the best teams in the world," said Dunfield, who spent the early portion of his career with Manchester City of the English Premier League. "Of course Steven Gerrard's name jumps out at you. I've watched him since I started playing soccer."
Dunfield hopes that Toronto's more inexperienced players are not overly awestruck by Liverpool's presence, and as a result, they can give a proper account of their abilities.
Liverpool's tour continues with a match against AS Roma on July 25 at Boston's Fenway Park as part of the 100-year anniversary celebration of the landmark stadium, and will culminate with a game versus Premier League rival Tottenham in Baltimore on July 28.
Mariner's approach to the friendly will give his players every opportunity to relish the moment, while maintaining focus on the Major League Soccer season at hand — which will ideally result in TFC's first playoff appearance in franchise history.
"I'm sure that all the young players and fans will recognize what we're about, where we are in our season, what to expect and what not to expect," he said. "It's just going to be a celebration of football."

Adam Levine Talks About The Ladies!
Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine has talked about the ladies.
In the recent issue of Details, Adam reveals:
There's two kinds of men: There are men who are f***ing misogynist pigs, and then there are men who just really love women, who think they're the most amazing people in the world. And that's me.
Maybe the reason I was promiscuous, and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much.
I was the music dude that was naked all the time with the girls, and that's fine, no problem with that. But I wanted to create a little balance. When The Voice came around, I thought, 'People now know that I have a brain.'
But how does he get all them ladies as that time when he allegedly called Christina Aguilera a c***?
We just don't know his secret.

Britain's First Array CGH Baby: A Commentary
You may have read recently of a baby born in the United Kingdom following the performance of Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) to help identify the best embryo(s) for transfer to the uterus. In this report, a great deal was made of two factors. The first was that the fresh embryo(s) chosen for transfer to the recipient's uterus was selected because it had been derived from an egg that was found to have all its chromosomes intact. The second was that the technique used was Array CGH (aCGH) which was touted as having the advantage of being so fast that it allowed for the embryo to be transferred to the recipient's uterus in the same cycle that the in vitro fertilization (IVF) was performed. This was contrasted with the slightly slower metaphase CGH (mCGH) method (used by SIRM) which it was implied would require that the embryos be preserved (cryostored) for at least one full cycle before being transferred. We call this division of the IVF cycle into two separate stages, "Staggered IVF" (see postings on this subject elsewhere on this website).
As many of you who are familiar with our published research at SIRM are aware, we have been performing mCGH egg/embryo selection for nearly 5 years and have had in excess of 100 births. Moreover, in our initial report (in Fertility and Sterility-2007) we utilized mCGH for egg testing followed by the transfer of fresh embryos in the same cycle. Thus the inference that only aCGH (when performed on eggs) is fast enough to allow for same-cycle fresh embryo transfers is simply not true.
Some background: CGH is a genetic test performed on DNA extracted from one of the following: the egg's polar body (PB), a single cell (blastomere) taken from the early cleaved embryo (3 days post-fertilization), or from multiple (5-7) cells biopsied from an advanced 5-6 day (>100cell) embryo (i.e. the blastocyst). There is little doubt that CGH provides the most reliable method by which to identify chromosomally normal eggs and embryos…these being the ones that are most likely to make healthy babies.
Following is a comparison of aCGH and mCGH:
- Both evaluate ALL of the cell's chromosomes and provide the same information.
- It is possible to perform either mCGH or aCGH on eggs permitting results to be available in time to allow for the transfer of blastocysts (day-5 embryos) in the same cycle that the IVF was performed.
- Metaphase CGH is more reliable than aCGH when it comes to testing a single cell (as is the case when testing the egg or the early embryo). Array CGH, on the other hand, is best suited for use on advanced embryos (blastocysts) This is because aCGH requires a larger amount of DNA (several cells) than mCGH to yield accurate results.
- Since almost all blastocysts have some chromosomally abnormal cells mixed in with normal ones (mosaicism), the question arises as to what percentage of the blastocyst's cells need to be chromosomally normal in order to insure development into a healthy baby. The truth is that presently, (with very few babies having been born following blastocyst aCGH), there is no way of knowing for sure! We are thus still in the "speculative phase" when it comes to the use and reliability of aCGH as performed on advanced embryos.
Thus, in spite of this interesting report in the British press, for the time being at least, mCGH analysis of the early (day-3) embryo is the preferred method for selecting the most competent embryos for transfer.

Dear Dr. Sher,
It was very nice meeting you on 9/3/09. I appreciate your professionalism and personability. I would like to ask you about NIVF – Natural IVF. It doesn't require injection but one HCG shot. I would like to know if you would do the NIVF, and how much it costs. Thank you for answering.
Thank you kindly.
I am not an advocate of NIVF. the success rate is about 10%. It is even lower as women age beyond 35 years.Geoff Sher

Round 1 of the 2013 NHL playoffs gave fans everything they've come to love about hockey's second season: unpredictability, upsets, hard hitting and spectacular plays.
Three of the series went to a Game 7 and lower seeds won five of the eight matchups (your trusty writer predicted four of those five upsets and correctly picked the winner of all but one series).
We saw the New York Islanders take a giant leap toward becoming an actual contender, beating the heavily-favored Pittsburgh Penguins twice.
We also saw Toronto's Phil Kessel (four goals, including two game winners) on the verge of having the last laugh against his old Bruins teammates before Boston stormed back from a 4-1 deficit in Game 7 to win 5-4 in overtime, extending decades of misery for Maple Leafs fans. Incredible.
Two other Canadian teams – the Montreal Canadiens (a two-seed) and the Vancouver Canucks (a three-seed) also let down their fans yet again by being on the wrong side of butt whoopings. Ottawa spanked Montreal four games to one and Vancouver – a team in desperate need of an overhaul – got swept by the San Jose Sharks.
We haven't even caught our breath from Round 1 and here comes Round 2. Two of the series start Tuesday night.
Here's how I see it playing out:
(Prediction record last round: 7-1.)
Pittsburgh Penguins (1) vs. Ottawa Senators (7)
The Senators were impressive in their five-game ousting of the Canadiens. Forty-year-old Captain Daniel Alfredsson skated as well as the youngsters and displayed his veteran savvy, scoring two goals and adding four assists. He's doing his part to hoist the Cup for the first time in his 17-year career. On the other end of the age spectrum, how can you not love Sens winger Cory Conacher? The 23-year-old is undersized (5-8, 180 pounds) and suffers from Type 1 Diabetes (the worst kind), but was perhaps the most energetic and tenacious player on the ice in the final games of the last series. After getting little ice time in Game 1 and being a healthy scratch in Game 2, he popped in three huge goals, including two in the deciding game. Meanwhile, Sens goalie Craig Anderson, snubbed as a Vezina Trophy candidate (league's top goalie), was terrific with a 1.80 goals against average. But the Pens just have too much. Jerome Iginla had two goals and seven assists in nine games last series but didn't look good. He telegraphs his shot (off the wrong foot with the other dangling in the air) more than any player in today's game. But the Pens don't need Iginla. They're loaded with Sidney Crosby, (9 points), Evgeni Malkin (11 points) and company. With tons of grit, the Sens could make it a series, but the Pens and their talent will prevail.
Prediction: Penguins in 6.
Boston Bruins (4) vs. New York Rangers (6)
This is the toughest series to call. It might also be the most entertaining. The Bruins incredible Game 7 victory in Round 1 shows they can overcome anything. But it never should have come to that point against the Maple Leafs. Rangers "star" winger Rick Nash was a no show last series with just two assists and no goals and Brad Richards looked better than Nash, but was even worse statistically with just one goal and no assists. But the Rangers' shot-blocking system and goaltending can carry them, especially if Nash and Richards wake up and contribute. So far, they've left all the heavy lifting to the grinders. Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist (1.65 GAA) put the team on his shoulders last round and his shutouts in Game 6 and 7 solidified him as this year's best goalie. He'll be the difference again.
Prediction: Rangers in 7.
Chicago Blackhawks (1) vs. Detroit Red Wings (7)
Chicago continued the dominance they showed in the regular season by defeating the Minnesota Wild in five games while Detroit surprised the Anaheim Ducks in seven. Detroit has solid vets in Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk and Niklas Kronwall but Chicago really shouldn't lose this series. They have better goaltending (Corey Crawford has a 1.32 GAA so far this playoffs), a better and more durable D corp (Johnny Oduya's bank pass off the glass that led to the Game 1 OT victory against the Wild was amazing) and more dynamic talent up front with Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hosa and company.
Prediction: Blackhawks in 6.
Los Angeles Kings (5) vs. San Jose Sharks (6)
San Jose's sweep of the Canucks in Round 1 was impressive. They can beat the Kings, but I'm rolling with the defending Stanley Cup champs. LA is built for the playoffs with their mix of grit, goaltending and occasional offensive flair. This series presents an interesting goalie matchup – the only series with two Stanley Cup winning goalies – but Jonathan Quick (1.58 GAA, one shutout) has the edge over Antti Niemi (1.86 GAA).
Prediction: Kings in 7.
--Kevin Amerman
The 2013 Stanley Cup is Pittsburgh's to lose.
Even with stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin – arguably the best two players in the league – out of the lineup down the stretch, the Penguins continued to win, seemingly with ease. With wingers Jarome Iginla and James Neal and defenseman Kris Letang, they have a sickening amount of star power not matched by another team since the Edmonton Oilers of the 1980s – a team that won five Stanley Cups, including one in 1989-90 after trading the best hockey player of all time, Wayne Gretzky.
So, on paper, the Pens should win their fourth Cup. But that's on paper. In hockey, more than any other sport, will beats skill.
With that said, it looks like the Pens have too much talent for anyone to beat. Even if goalie Marc-Andre Fluery implodes like he did last playoffs against the Philadelphia Flyers, they now have a capable backup in Tomas Vokoun.
Let's just hope Crosby doesn't try to grow his pathetic playoff peach-fuzz beard again. Seriously, Sid, I have teenage cousins with more facial hair than you. Female cousins.
My crystal ball shows the Pens beating the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Final.
But let's not get too far ahead. Below is each first-round matchup and who I believe will win. The action starts Tuesday night.
Pittsburgh Penguins (1) vs. New York Islanders (8)
If you read the intro, I guess you see where this prediction is going, right? The Islanders have come a long way. It's good they finally ditched the biggest bust in NHL history, goalie Rick DiPietro. And they have an exciting group of young forwards in Matt Moulson, John Tavares and Kyle Okposo. But the Pens have too much.
Prediction: Pens in 5.
Montreal Canadiens (2) vs. Ottawa Senators (7)
The return of Ottawa's free-wheeling defenseman Erik Karlsson changes everything. I would have picked Montreal if he was still injured. But with him in the lineup, recovered from a nasty Achilles tendon tear, I'm taking Ottawa. Montreal started the season off strong, but sputtered at the end. Goalie Carey Price, who finished 30th in the NHL with a 2.59 GAA, has really struggled, while Sens' goalie Craig Anderson, who finished first with a GAA of 1.69, has sizzled. The Sens also could rally around aging winger Daniel Alfredsson like the NFL's Baltimore Ravens rallied around Ray Lewis. This could be Alfredsson's last run. I think it gets extended at least into the next round.
Prediction: Sens in 7.
Washington Capitals (3) vs. New York Rangers (6)
Just one point separated these teams in the regular season, so this should be a great series.
The Caps should be proud of how they turned around this season, mainly on the back of Alex Ovechkin. The star winger was written off at the beginning of the season and bounced back to league MVP form, leading the league with 32 goals in 48 games. But the Rangers and their shot-blocking defense are built more for the playoffs and will pull this off. Rangers' winger Rick Nash (42 points in 44 games this season) and goalie Henrik Lundqvist will be the biggest factors.
Prediction: Rangers in 6.
Boston Bruins (4) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs (5)
Boston hasn't played up to its capabilities lately, but its size and strength will be the difference in the series. Bruins' winger Brad Marchand is built for the playoffs and will be a major factor. Boston's D, led by Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg, will be able to handle Toronto's crafty forwards and Boston goalie Tuuka Rask (2.00 GAA) will shine much brighter than Toronto's James Reimer (2.46 GAA).
Prediction: Bruins in 6.
Chicago Blackhawks (1) vs. Minnesota Wild (8)
Chicago has too much up front with Patrick Kane (55 points in 47 games), Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa, its D is better and both of their goalies, Corey Crawford and Ray Emery (both had a GAA of 1.94), have been better than Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom (2.48 GAA). I think you see where this is going.
Prediction: Blackhawks in 5.
Anaheim Ducks (2) vs. Detroit Red Wings (7)
This might end up being the best series in the playoffs. Detroit lost a lot when Nicklas Lidstrom retired in the off-season, but they still have major talent in Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk and Niklas Kronwall is a hip-checking force on D. But Anaheim should take this, mainly because of their talent up front with Bobby Ryan, Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry.
Prediction: Ducks in 7.
Vancouver Canucks (3) vs. San Jose Sharks (6)
This could be the closest series. Both teams have a good mix of scoring and defense in their forwards. San Jose should have held on to defenseman Douglas Murray instead of trading him to Pittsburgh if they really wanted to make a run. But I think they'll pull this off because of the pressure Vancouver fans will put on their team, specifically the goalies. They tried to run Roberto Luongo out of town in favor of Cory Schneider, but Schneider was not able to fully snag the starting job away. Luongo lingers in the background and that will be a problem.
Prediction: San Jose in 7.
St. Louis Blues (4) vs. Los Angeles Kings (5)
It's a shame the upstart Blues have to play the Kings in the first round. The Kings have shown they can turn it on when they want and they will – especially star goalie Jonathan Quick who was virtually unbeatable during the King's march to the Cup last season.
Prediction: Kings in 6.

Four schools are being added to the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association, the nation's oldest wrestling conference which include Lehigh University.
Former Lehigh wrestling coach Greg Strobel, the executive director of the EIWA, announced
Quarterback Club members (from left) Mark Lechmanik, Rob Stewart, Scott Sautter and Gary Uzelac (right) are all from the 1978-82 era of Lafayette football, as was the guy who took the photo, Hal Hocking. They reunited at last Saturday's Maroon and White Game. What I want to know is how an offensive lineman (Tom Feehan, second from right) worked his way in there.
The other day I mentioned a briefing between Lafayette offensive coordinator Mickey Fein and a bunch of guys who call themselves the Quarterback Club. It was kind of a reunion for some of them, particularly a group organizer Gary Uzelac referred to as "that Royal Flush from '78 to '82."
The guys actually got more than they bargained for. Not only did they get insight from Fein; they also had a celebrity run-in with Jon Gruden, who was in Easton to watch his son, Deuce, a rising sophomore who is bidding for playing time at running back, compete in the Maroon and White game.
The photograph above shows just a portion of the special crowd that gathered in the South grandstand of Fisher Stadium about an hour before the start of Lafayette's Maroon and White football game. More people were making their way from the Bourger Varsity Football House as I took the photo.
Coach Frank Tavani had told me several days ago that about 150 prospective football recruits -- high school juniors who would undoubtedly love to be chosen to receive one of those $250,000 merit-based football scholarships Patriot League teams are now permitted to give -- and family members would be attending the final practice of the Leopards' spring camp. These are not official visits, mind you, but some of the players have been invited by Lafayette coaches and others have come strictly on their own to have a look at the place.
The Committee to Preserve Olympic Wrestling (CPOW) and USA Wrestling has aligned with top organizations in mixed martial arts -- including UFC and its president, Dana White.

The Valley Preferred Cycling Center on Mosser Road in Trexlertown unvieled its 2013 World Series of Bicycling schedule on Tuesday. The highlight of the 12 Friday night international professional cycling series is the 2013 USA Cycling Junior National Championships on July 26.
The series begins on June 7 with the U.S. Grand Prix and closes Aug. 30 with the UCI Madison Cup.
Here is the complete Friday night schedule:
FILA, the international federation for the sport of wrestling, has announced that World Wrestling Month will be held this May. The 177 countries that are members of the organization will feature activities which promote the sport of wrestling and its campaign to remain in the Olympic Games.
In February, the International Olympic Committee's Executive Board voted to exclude wrestling from the 25 core sports on the program of the Olympic Games.
"World Wrestling Month will feature a variety of activities for our athletes and national federations," said FILA's Acting President Nenad Lalovic. He added, "The month will celebrate our
When I sat down with Lafayette football coach Frank Tavani before the start of spring camp, we spent some time in the "war room," which includes a huge personnel chart. One of the things that caught my eye was the depth at the running back spot -- seven guys, led, of course, by Ross Scheuerman.
I know that two of those seven are new recruits -- Kyle Mayfield of North Penn High and Adin Greenfield of Miller Place, N.Y. Still, that left five for the spring camp.
Cole Hamels appears good and ready to face the Atlanta Braves on Opening Day next week, but has the lanky lefty traded in his 'Hollywood' label for that of...'Lumberjack'?
It's true. Hamels' beard will probably never grow long enough to have its own Twitter account, but can you imagine what he might look like come September if the above picture is his motivation for the Phillies to make a playoff push?
This photo (screengrabbed from the Phillies website) is evidence of Hamels' final spring training start on March 27 against the Detroit Tigers. He allowed just one hit, one walk and struck out three in three innings of work. But forget the stats (or should we?). The first thing you notice is that bush on his face. He told Todd Zolecki of MLB.com it's "hurting the appearance." Says he's going to shave it soon.
But Cole should reconsider. Just look what that beard did for his spring training. 3-0. 0.95 ERA. 15 strikeouts in 19 innings of work over 5 starts.
Need more proof that whiskers win? Just look at the evidence. Aaron Cook also grew a beard and has just a 3.38 ERA. But Cliff Lee trimmed back the hair and his Grapefruit League ERA is at 5.94. Baby- faced Jonathan Papelbon is at 9.82. And beardless John Lannan got obliterated by the Blue Jays in his last start on Monday.
But then again... look what the beard did for Roy Halladay.
