Vancouver Limo Pictures Have Players In Hot Water (14) They should just be happy Patrick Kane wasn't photographed beating up the driver of the limo. This is the price you pay to be a professional athlete. When you reach a certain point, your privacy is thrown out the window. In this case it was thrown out the window of a limo. These players know that. Judging by the pictures they didn't seem to mind what was taking place, and I'm not sure we should either. This will eventually blow over in Chicago, as did the Patrick Kane cab incident. As a fan of the Hawks, and of hockey in general, I hope the Hawks are able to weather this storm. All this does is momentarily over shadow the real story behind this club, the only story...

John Daly's New Look at Life, Golf, Self (14) Robert Palmer might croon that Daly was addicted to love, or at least its initial thrill. Daly has been married four times, and let's just say the women he attracted came with their own set of issues. He immortalized them in a song, "All My Exes Wear Rolexes." "I have a really good team now surrounding me, starting with my girlfriend (Anna)," Daly said. "I've never had that before. At least I'm giving myself a chance to perform to the best of my ability, something I never did in my entire life for whatever reason." A Psychology 101 student might wonder if Daly subconsciously sabotaged himself, if it's taken him close to 43 years on this planet to outgrow the nervous...

Pasadena Playhouse will close Feb. 7 (13) The Pasadena Playhouse will close Feb. 7 after the final performance of its current production of "Camelot," leaving its future in jeopardy as company leaders explore ways out of its financial woes, including a possible bankruptcy filing. Stephen Eich, the executive director hired last June to run the theater, said 37 employees learned at a staff meeting Thursday that they would be out of work. The playhouse is essentially out of cash to continue running, he said, and faces more than $500,000 in immediate bills, plus more than $1.5 million owed on bank loans and other debts that have dogged the nonprofit company since the mid-1990s. Founded in 1917, the Playhouse was design...

Changes in fitness regime and personal life bring Andy Murray to the brink (12) The beautiful girlfriend has gone, replaced by an exhausting fitness regime and plain pasta cooked by his coach. Andy Murray might have shed the glamour in his young life but he is leaving nothing to chance in the final hours before he faces the task of casting off one of the longest-running hoodoos in British sport. Murray will have the whole of Britain urging him to end the agonising 74-year wait since a British man won a grand-slam tournament by emerging triumphant from the Australian Open final on Sunday morning. Murray has come close to grand-slam glory once before, in the 2008 US Open, when he was crushed by a ruthless Roger Federer. The Scot said his nerves...

Gradual Versus Sudden Enlightenment (12) In Buddhism there is a lot of discussion about cultivating mindfulness and awareness. In a nutshell, mindfulness is the ability to pay attention to something, to hold your attention to a particular object or activity. The key is to stabilize our focus so we are able to compensate for the habit of our mind just jumping around like a frog from topic to topic. It is a very basic but potent capacity that we can develop. We can apply that mindfulness to any topic -- compassion, impermanence, practical matters, the body, and to the mind itself to gain greater insight into what our mind is and how it works. Awareness is somewhat more sophisticated. We could even ask: who is aware of what? A...

Grand Prix Saturday results (12) Shaun White became the second official member of the team, winning with back-to-back double corks and a first-run score of 47. Louie Vito, who finished second for the second time this qualifying season, is all but a lock to join him in Vancouver. "It's great to get this out the way, so I can focus on what I want to do in my Olympic run," White says. If his second run was any indication, White's Olympic run could very well include a double McTwist 1260, which he crashed attempting on his final hit. "No one's even attempted that trick before," White says. "I wish they weren't tearing down this pipe tomorrow. I want to start working on it right now." Each week, the list of never-...

Glasgow sets out sustainable 'green' vision (11) The project aims to transform the city into a hub of the sustainable energy sector, delivering jobs and training. It will play a major role in attempts to regenerate communities and tackle fuel poverty over the next 10 years. Recommendations in the report include initiatives such as the creation of systems to turn the city's sewage and municipal waste into biogas. There would be a drive to increase the use of biogas and electric vehicles. Moves could also be made to develop district heating system and gradually phase out electric, coal and oil heating. This would go hand-in-hand with the development of natural biogas-fuelled combined heat and power systems...

Patrick Kane youngest Chicago Blackhawk to 200 points (11) Jonathan Toews, Troy Brouwer, Marian Hossa and Dustin Byfuglien scored while Cristobal Huet earned the victory in goal as the Hawks defeated Edmonton 4-2 on Tuesday night in front of a subdued crowd of 16,839 at Rexall Place. The Hawks improved to 4-2 on their season-long, eight-game road trip as they bounced back from a 5-1 drubbing Saturday night at the hands of the Canucks. "The first two periods we did some good things," Toews said. "We still know that that's far from the way we need to play. There wasn't much of an atmosphere in the building. I wouldn't say that's an excuse but some flat games like that you have to find a way to motivate yourselves." Toews scored on th...
