What he said.
Also, bearing in mind how much trust financial analysts have earned over the past few years, this is probably still a little worrisome:
The consumer debt bomb is already beginning to spray shrapnel throughout the financial markets, further weakening the U.S. economy. "The next meltdown will be in credit cards," says Gregory Larkin, senior analyst at research firm Innovest Strategic Value Advisors. Adds William Black, senior vice-president of Moody's Investors Service's structured finance team: "We still haven't hit the post-recessionary peaks [in credit-card losses], so things will get worse before they get better."

I think that's their potential record for the remaining games. The Rangers, as an example, have played 8 games, and show 74 left in the table.

Why does the chart only go to 78 games? Are they playing a short schedule this year?

I think the chances of me getting through airport security with either a 4" blade or a Hezbollah flag are somewhat less good.
Speaking of chances, 70%!!

That's pretty good, but not as good as the time I took a 4" locking military style blade through not one, but two consecutive security screenings and x-rays (Edmonton and London) in my carry-on before getting caught the third go-round, on my way out of London Heathrow, which had already checked my bag and deemed my slightly-too-big toothpaste tube to be the only dangerous weapon in the bag.
Did I mention that in my passport picture I have this huge white-kimbo-slice beard going and hippie shag hair, and at the airport I was clean shaven with short hair? That's not suspicious I guess.
Obviously, they had me billed as either a toothpaste bomber or a harmless knife-wielder.
