Buffalo's Kane benched for missing practice
Sabres forward broke team rule; to miss Ottawa game
Buffalo Sabres left wing Evander Kane won't play against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday because he missed practice Monday, coach Dan Bylsma said.
"He
slept in, called [general manager] Tim {Murray] and myself, broke a
team rule," said Bylsma. "We'll be dealing with it internally, but he
will not be playing in Ottawa. I'm disappointed."

Most Die Hards Will Agree With This
This Is Why Coke Tastes Better Out Of A Glass Bottle Rather Than A Can
(BroBible.com)
According to biochemist and founder of Science by Design Sara Risch, it’s because of the liquid reacting with polymers in the packaging.
Polymers are the molecules inside packaging – themselves built from smaller units strung together – and add properties to the material they are used in.
In the case of aluminium cans, the polymers lining the packaging may absorb some of the soluble flavour from the drink.
“While packaging and food companies work to prevent any interactions, they can occur,” explained Risch.
Meanwhile the polymer acetaldehyde, which is used in plastic bottles, could transfer into the coke inside the bottle, subtly altering its flavour.
And even though food standards agencies regulate the contact between food and its packaging, there are tiny amounts that could get through according to Popular Science. (via)

CAFE Rules In Dire Need Of An Overhaul
CAFE is too slow, let's go for faster gains
To meet today's CAFE rules, automakers have to sell hybrids, plug-ins, battery electrics, and even fuel cell cars. And yet, car buyers the world over are largely shunning these powertrains. They account for less than 3 percent of sales. There's a real disconnect between what the regulators want and what the public is buying.
That disconnect is likely to grow. The CAFE standards really ramp up after 2017 and that's going to send car prices up sharply. Most car buyers will be motivated to hold onto their existing cars longer, meaning it will take even longer to turn the fleet over.
Next year automakers and regulators will sit down to review CAFE to determine if those rules need to be modified. I think a change is needed. The current strategy is not working to plan. Doubling down on that strategy is not going to change buyer behavior. Why not come up with an approach that will cost a lot less money and produce results a whole lot sooner?
