Barrie made 40 saves in the win, including a number of spectacular stops. At one point in the second period, Barrie had to stretch out on her back to cover up the puck on an unbelievable acrobatic save...
...powerful explosives ripped open carriages, killing some 200 commuters and wounding more than 1,500 others. Like the 9/11 attacks, the Madrid bombings were impeccably timed to kill ordinary people on their way to work, and both left unforgettable tableaux of pain and destruction, the kind terrorists regard as spectacular. Not all the bombs took lives, though. Two similar devices were destroyed by police in controlled explosions.

Take him at his word. But Stewart was no ordinary Jane who traded on inside information to make a quick buck. Her tabloid celebrity, her status as a walking, talking brand name, and her role as CEO of a publicly held corporation turned what would otherwise have been a simple case into a treacherous web of legal and corporate issues. And at almost every turn, she and her advisers made the wrong...
