Power Rankings: Attack of the hobbling Penguins! - ESPN.com

7. Anaheim Ducks

• The Ducks are dealing with significant injury issues, including ones to Freddie Andersen and David Perron, as they continue to fight the Kings for top spot in the Pacific. A nice win over the Stars sees them a point up on the Kings with four to play.

8. Los Angeles Kings 

• The Kings have gone a bit sideways, but three of their last four games are against weak sisters in the West. Mark Thursday's clash with the Ducks at the Staples Center as a key moment in the final days of the regular schedule.

10. San Jose Sharks

• The Sharks theoretically could still grab home ice in the first round but that's not likely to happen. And given how well they play on road (27 wins is tops in the NHL), it's probably just as well they'll be traveling to Los Angeles or Anaheim to start. Brent Burns is in the thick of Norris Trophy discussion.

Only A Proud Few Get This Opportunity

What It's Like To Be A U.S. Marine Watching Over The White House

Only four marines in the entire U.S. Marine Corps get to stand sentry over the White House’s West Wing while the president is working. This video breaks down a day in the life of the most badass doorman in America.

It looks like the job’s primary requirements are patience, poise, the ability to pass what I imagine is an extremely thorough background check and resist scratching an itch for at least half an hour.

Sargent J.D. Hodges explains that Marine Sentries work 30 minute shifts; half an hour on, half an hour off, whenever the president is in the West Wing for as long as he’s working there for the day.

If you’ve ever wondered how a sentry knows when to open the door for somebody while facing the other direction; it’s a buzzer pushed by Secret Service officers which you’ll see in action about a minute and a half into the clip.

“My friends give me a little bit of grief for being a doorman over here,” says Hodges. “But at least I’m the president’s doorman!”

“I could work at the Waldorf after this,” he adds with a laugh.

Los Angeles Angels: Killer K Burrito

The Angels introduced a few other menu items this year, but, because a lot of them are healthier options, I’d go with the Killer B Burrito from Fresca’s Mexican Grill as the dish to chow on.

Nothing goes better with watching Mike Trout ball out like a 12-inch tortilla loaded with rice, black beans, sour cream, guac, salsa and either chicken or steak, right?

It's So Simple, But Drives In Convoys Don't Do This

When convoying with other cars, the lead car should turn the blinker on first, followed by the 2nd, 3rd ect cars. Then the last car makes the lane change, and creates room in front for the next car to make their change. This prevents breaking the line up

Too Bad This Won't Spread Worldwide

This Bikini Airline Has Spawned Vietnam's First Female Billionaire 

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most lucrative. 

Meet Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, a mega-successful Vietnamese entrepreneur who is set to become one of the world's richest people, thanks to her brilliant idea of staffing an airline with bikini-clad babes. 

Thao, who made her first million at 21 trading fax machines and latex rubber, started really raking it in when she replaced VietJet Air's flight attendants with ai wearing ridiculously sexy outfits.

The company, Vietnam's only privately-owned airline, is about to go public boosting the 45-year-old Thao's fortune to $1.37 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
