NEW YORK: Unfriend has been named the word of the year by the New Oxford
American Dictionary, chosen from a list of finalists with a tech-savvy bent. Elvis Dumervil Jersey . Unfriend was defined
as a verb that means to remove someone as a friend on a social networking side
such as Facebook. It has both currency and potential longevity, said Christine
Lindberg, senior lexicographer for Oxfords US dictionary program, in a
statement. In the online social networking context, its meaning is understood,
so its adoption as a modern verb form makes this an interesting choice for Word
of the Year. Other words deemed finalists for 2009 by the dictionarys publisher,
Britains Oxford University Press, came from other technological trends, the
economy, and political and current affairs. In technology, there was hashtag,
which is the hash sign added to a word or phrase that lets Twitter users search
for tweets similarly taged; intexticated for when people are distracted by
texting while driving, and sexting, which is the sending of sexually explicit
SMSes and pictures by cellphone. Finalists from the economy included freemium,
meaning a business model in which some basic services are provided for free, and
funemployed, referring to people taking advantage of newly unemployed status to
have fun or pursue other interests. In the political and current affairs
section, finalists included birther, meaning conspiracy theorists challenging
President Barack Obamas US birth certificate, and choice mom, a person who
chooses to be a single mother. Novelty words making the shortlist were deleb,
meaning a dead celebrity, and tramp stamp, referring to a tattoo on the lower
back, usually on a woman. Tracy Porter Jersey . —Phoenix Coyotes

- The eighth-seeded Los Angeles Kings will try to move a step closer to winning
their first Western Conference title in 19 years when they host the Phoenix
Coyotes tonight in Game 3 at Staples Center. You can watch the game live on TSN
and TSN Mobile TV RIGHT NOW and join our Game Night Blog. Los Angeles has taken
a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference finals, posting a pair of
impressive wins in Phoenix to begin this series. After earning a 4-0 win in
Tuesdays Game 2 in the desert, the eighth-seeded Kings are now 10-1 this
postseason and a perfect 7-0 on the road. The Game 2 victory allowed L.A. to tie
the 2010 Chicago Blackhawks NHL record for consecutive road wins in a single
postseason. Overall, Los Angeles has won nine straight road playoff games,
matching the 1982-83 New York Islanders for the NHL record for consecutive road
playoff wins spanning over more than one season. The Kings are 3-1 on home ice
in these playoffs and havent lost since dropping Game 4 of the opening round to
the visiting Vancouver Canucks. That 3-1 setback to the top-seeded Canucks
marked the only time this postseason that Los Angeles goaltender Jonathan Quick
surrendered more than two goals. Los Angeles beat the Canucks in five games and
then swept second-seeded St. Louis in the second round to qualify for the
conference finals for the first time since 1993, when Wayne Gretzky led the
Kings to their one and only Stanley Cup Finals appearance. Quick stopped 24
shots for his second shutout of the 2012 playoffs in Tuesdays rout of the
Coyotes, but Jeff Carter stole the show by recording his first career playoff
hat trick. Carters hat trick was the first in the playoffs for the Kings since
Gretzky accomplished the feat on May 29, 1993. Dwight King also scored for the
Kings, who haave outshot Phoenix by a whopping 88-51 margin over the first two
games of this series. Demaryius Thomas Womens Jersey. Mike Smith
allowed all four goals on 40 shots for the Coyotes, who are in the conference
final round for the first time in franchise history. “Obviously being down 2-0
was not the results we were looking for at home. So we need to regroup tomorrow
and go in there and try to steal a game on the road,” Phoenix head coach Dave
Tippett said. The Coyotes are 4-1 on the road in this years playoffs and will
try to get back in this series in Los Angeles. Game 4 is scheduled for Sunday
afternoon at the Staples Center. In addition to losing Game 2, Coyotes forward
Martin Hanzal also was dealt a one-game suspension for boarding Los Angeles
captain Dustin Brown in the third period of Tuesdays game. At the 11:01 mark of
the final period, Hanzal drilled Brown hard into the boards from behind,
resulting in Phoenixs second major penalty of the contest and a game misconduct.
Hanzal has three goals and two assists this postseason. While Hanzal received a
ban from the league, Coyotes captain Shane Doan avoided a suspension for
boarding Kings forward Trevor Lewis in the second period. NHL senior vice
president of player safety Brendan Shanahan revealed his reason for not
suspending Doan yesterday on his Twitter account, stating that “Lewis turns just
prior to the check.” Doan is considered a repeat offender who was suspended
three games this season for elbowing Dallas forward Jamie Benn in the head. This
matchup marks the first time the Kings and Coyotes are meeting in the
postseason, but the Pacific rivals did face each other six times during the
2011-12 campaign. The Kings and Coyotes split the season series and three of the
meetings went past regulation. ’ ’ ’
