Conte admits finishing fourth would be a 'success' for Chelsea this season

ANTONIO CONTE believes it will be a success if his reigning Premier League champions finish fourth this season.

Chelsea head into their clash against Stoke 16 points behind league leaders Manchester City.

  Antonio Conte insists it will be a success if his side finish fourth.

But there are just six points between Manchester United in second and Arsenal in sixth.

And Conte believes the level of competition in Englands top flight means the club must deem it a success if they finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League.

Speaking ahead of Chelseas match against the Potters, he said: I think, in this league, to finish in the top four will always be a successful season.

This is the only league to have six top teams to fight every season for the title.

And then there are only four places for the Champions League and two for the Europa League.

  The Italian conceded his side are more or less out of the title race.

  David Luiz is still ruled out of action but targets a return against Norwich in the FA Cup.

But its normal when your competitors are doing so well, like Manchester City.

its very difficult to think about fighting until the end for the title.

But, at the same time, we must try to fight in every game, for the three points and to give satisfaction to the fans, and to give everything..

Conte has no new fresh injury concerns ahead of the hectic schedule which includes two matches in just four days.

Charley Musonda and David Luiz remain sidelined but the Italian admitted they could return for their FA Cup game against Norwich.

tomorrow      .

He added: The same players from the last game are available, and about Musonda and David Luiz, they are improving a lot.

The recovery is very close – I dont know about the next game, but for sure against Norwich City [in the FA Cup].

  Chelsea thrashed Stoke 4-0 at the Bet365 Stadium in September.

I think we have a game that is very difficult against Stoke City.

As you remember well, last season, in the same period, we suffered a lot to beat them at home.

I remember very well the game.

We must pay great attention.

I think we have to go game by game.

Its normal when you have to play every two days that I have to make rotations and give a bit of rest to the players playing every game..

Emerald Green Jewel Tone Eye Makeup Tutorial For Indian Skin | Makeup Look by Pallavi Symons - Duration: 4:32.

Whether it's lifestyle, beauty or fashion you'll find emerald is everywhere and we

at Glamrs couldn't be happier that that was the colour chosen because jewel

tones look fantastic on Indian skin and I'm gonna show you how you can do a very

workable jewel toned eye just using one colour Emerald!

Jhanvi's skin as you can see has already been prepped with concealer, foundation and powder.

Now because the colour that I'm going to use is going to be metallic and very highly pigmented

there's going to be a bit of fall from the eyeshadow so I'm just going to

dust a bit of loose powder along her nose and on her cheeks. Well I'm going to

start with using a base it's a waterproof base and you can use it as an

eyeshadow just by itself and I'm gonna use it as a base on which I apply eye

shadow now what that will do is it will intensify the colour of the eyeshadow

I'm gonna use a flat paddle brush starting on the center of the eye in

very quick strokes I'm just going to pat this colour down. I'm just keeping the

colour limited to inside within the crease just make sure that the edges are

really blended and not very lined. You take a dab of that on a blending brush

and soften off the outer corners.

While that's still wet I'm going to use Faces

eyeshadow. I chose to use that one which is a bright green. I'm using a blending

brush to start with and I'm just gonna blend the colour as it goes into the

crease making it really soft.

Now to intensify right on the eyeball I use the

same brush that I used and packed the color on right here on the eyeball.

As you can see makes it really really intense

Now I'm gonna use Forest Green which is a pencil by Faces. It's a long wear eye pencil.

I'm gonna do this on the top and the bottom. I'm going to start with the

bottom first. Just underneath along her lash line you can apply generous amount

of the Forest Green which is a nice deep emerald and using a pencil brush I'm

going to smudge that off to a very soft effect. Just going to repeat and use this on

the top as well. Just to deepen and intensify the green, so a nice thick band

of this colour.

Now just to add a bit of drama to this I'm gonna do the thinnest

line of black.

So I'm gonna use a L'Oreal Carbon Gloss Super Liner.

It's really thin and it has a felt tip so that makes it really easy to go that close.

Well, I'm going to use a liner brush because I don't want the edge to be that sharp because

the emerald is the star I don't want the black to take over. I'm just doing it on

the other eye as well. Well just to add a little more intensity I'm going to use

the L'oreal's Infallible Black eyeliner. Just work it right in into the lashes as

well so there's no spots and make sure you have upper waterline as well.

So once that is done I'm just going to give the eyelashes a good curl i'm going to go

in with Benefit's They're Real Mascara adding more intensity more black but

without any lines make sure you work from the root to the tip. So there you

have a really intense emerald green eyes and now i'm just going to finish that

off with very complementing blush. I don't want the colour of the blush to

overpower anything on her eye makeup so i'm going to use this Peach Sorbet by

Elizabeth Arden and just a light sweep of the peach blush.

Now to offset this look and finish it I'm going to use a complementing colour. I'm starting with

the lip pencil in Natural. It's a NYX lip pencil. Basically this is

just to colour in the lips and kind of give it a base. Once that's done I'm

using an Inglot coral lipstick which works really well for this kind of a colour to

finish that off. We will top that off with a glass as well.

I'm going to use a glam shine gloss by L'Oreal. What this will do is it'll give

it a good pout and some dimension. So there you can see Jhanvi

featuring the trendiest colour this year, emerald and I guess that's fashion's

not so subliminal message to go green! I hope you enjoy that!

Oasis reunion? Fans call for Liam and Noel to REUNITE after FINALLY ending feud - Duration: 6:30.

Oasis reunion? Fans call for Liam and Noel to REUNITE after FINALLY ending feud

And sometimes, just sometimes, we get a miracle. After 12 months in which insults were traded and integrity questioned it seems as though the most wonderful time of the year has brought Liam and Noel Gallagher back together.

On December 19, Twitter king Liam took to his favourite social media site to send his 2.66million followers into meltdown by posting: "I wanna say Happy Xmas to team NG", later adding "We're all good again." If in November someone had suggested there would be thawing of the frostiest feud in music – one that began in August 2009 when Noel decided it was one fight too many before a concert in Paris – even the most ardent Oasis fan would have laughed.

Especially as at the start of the summer the animosity reached new heights in the aftermath of a tragedy that shocked the entire nation.

In May a terrorist attack took place outside the Manchester Arena when Ariana Grande was performing at the venue. The suicide bombing left 22 people dead.

In the wake of the atrocity Oasis' 1996 single Don't Look Back In Anger became an anthem of defiance.

And when Ariana organised the One Love Manchester benefit show, expectations were high that the brothers might put their differences aside for their city.

Liam jetted over from a festival in Germany, producing one of the night's most poignant moments when he and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin duetted on Oasis' Live Forever, dedicated to the victims.

Noel didn't show, but donated all royalties from his track to the victims. "I wanna say Happy Xmas to team NG.

We're all good again." Liam Gallagher Tweet But Liam was far from impressed by Noel's efforts and logged on to Twitter to post: "Manchester id like to apologise for my brothers absence… get on a f***ing plane and play your tunes for the kids you sad f***." In September, Noel headlined the We Are Manchester show that re-opened the Arena and couldn't help but shed a few tears as he played Don't Look Back In Anger but Liam was on Twitter again to accuse him of crying for a "PR stunt".

Noel responded, saying: "He needs to see a psychiatrist. I don't say that as a joke.

Because young Mancunians, young music fans, were slaughtered, and he, twice, takes it somewhere to be about him.He needs to see somebody." Relations were at an all-time low.

And it was just a month later in October that Liam finally released his LP, named after his As You Were sign-off on Twitter the newly-branded "LG" saw it rocket to No1, becoming the third fastest-selling LP of the year behind only Ed Sheeran and Rag'n'Bone Man.

By coincidence, Noel's third solo LP Who Built The Moon? came out just a few weeks later and also hit No1, making him the fi rst artist in UK chart history to have 10 consecutive chart-topping LPs.

But the "cosmic pop" he'd created with producer David Holmes didn't win him any new fans or please his old ones like Liam's more direct approach.

The Chief had lost this battle and was losing the hearts and minds of the Oasis faithful. He was also losing the war of words and wit.

Noel got a French scissor player on stage; Liam laughed and armed himself with a potato peeler. Coward Noel accused Liam of being a "musical coward" and sounding like "Adele shouting into a bucket".

When big bro experimented in the studio, Liam said: "Psychedelic music by a beige drip is like a vegetarian trying to sell you a kebab." Poking fun at Noel's friendship with celebs like Bono the insults never relented – "working class traitor", "celebrity stalker", "former brother".

Meanwhile Liam was adopted by Grime's finest, hanging out with Wiley and Skepta. On Liam's LP, Noel said he couldn't "be arsed formulating an opinion on a record that's written by an army of songwriters.

I'm not a fan. I have nothing to say about it".

Despite all the vitriol, Liam never made any secret of the fact that he loves his brother and wanted nothing more than to reconcile with him. He said: "I love him.

The geezer I used to be in a band with I f***ing adore him. Oasis? What is it? Oasis is Noel and me.

If we do not understand each other, there is no Oasis. "If we do understand each other, then possibly Oasis will return. But the important thing is that we will be brothers again." So it seems they are brothers again, Definitely Maybe.

But what about Oasis, could Liam's headline slot at the Isle of Wight festival's 50th anniversary celebrations become an Oasis headline slot? Some Might Say they gotta make it happen!.

The Ultimate Natural Solutions For Treating Ovarian Cysts! - Duration: 5:15.

The Ultimate Natural Solutions For Treating Ovarian Cysts!

An ovarian cyst represents a sac filled with fluid that appears on the ovary of a woman.

The majority of women are going to develop at least one cyst on their ovaries throughout

their lifetime.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states that the portion of such cysts is highest

in women before menopause, and only 14.8 percent of women develop them following the menopause.

The majority of these cysts are benign and aren't dangerous. Nevertheless, there are

likewise pathological cysts that can be very dangerous and even trigger cancer.

As we have already mentioned, although the majority of these cysts aren't that dangerous,

they can lead to the development of some other health issues such as menstrual issues with

the cycle, back lower and neck pains, bloating, vomiting, nausea, pain in bowel needs, bladder

pressure, sex pain issues, pelvis pain around period dates, and in certain cases, it can

even lead to infertility!

Usually, they are going to disappear on their own in a couple of months, however frequently

you are going to need to take medicines or some other treatments. Therefore, in order

to reduce their size, we are going to present you with some effective natural solutions

and tips that are going to be of great help. However, prior to giving them a try, make

certain that you consult your physician.

Heat This is extremely efficient for alleviating

muscle cramps or stomach pains triggered by ovarian cysts. You should put a bottle with

warm water or a heating pad on your stomach and lower pelvic area, and let it sit for

about fifteen minutes. This can be repeated as much as you wish and whenever you suffer

from abdominal pains.

Castor oil packs Castor oil pack is an old method for treating

cysts. This oil can remove the excess contaminants from the body. Furthermore, it can boost the

lymphatic system and liquefy the cysts. Start by folding a flannel cloth in order

to make it two tot three layers thick. The cloth should be big enough so that you can

cover your entire abdomen with it. Then, continue by putting some castor oil on the cloth, folding

the cloth in half, and then unfolding it. Place another towel under you and put the

flannel cloth on your abdomen. Use plastic foil to cover the castor oil cloth and then

cover with a towel. Put a bottle filled with hot water over the towel and cover yourself

with a warm blanket. You should repeat this process three times a week, for a period of

three months.

If you want to remove the excessive amount of oil from the skin, you need to clean that

area with a solution made with three tablespoons of baking soda and four cups of water.

Note: You should not use castor oil packs when you are on your period. What is more,

if you are making attempts to conceive, you shouldn't use this remedy after ovulation.

Chamomile tea Chamomile tea is an incredibly efficient treatment

for alleviating the pains and discomforts. It provides a sedative effect that is going

to aid you relax. In addition, this fascinating tea is going to stimulate blood flow in the

uterus and pelvic area, thus regulating the irregular periods. Prepare a mixture with

two teaspoons of dried chamomile with one cup of warm water. Place a lid on it and leave

it to steep for about five minutes. Pressure, and add one teaspoon of honey. You should

consume three cups of this tea every day.

Epsom bath Epsom bath has the ability to lower pains

and other symptoms associated with ovarian cysts. Epsom salt contains large amounts of

magnesium sulfate that can act as muscle relaxant, thus getting rid of the pain. Add one cup

of Epsom salt in your bathtub filled with warm water. Then, add ten drops of essential

oil, it can be rose, lavender, or jasmine. Stir for a couple of minutes so that the salt

dissolves. Soak the lower area of your body for thirty minutes. Do this process daily.

Beetroot Beetrot is a vegetable that contains betacyanin

that has the ability to better the functioning of your liver to remove toxins from the system.

Furthermore, beetroot is alkaline, which signifies that it can balance the acidity inside your

body. Prepare a mixture with ½ cup of fresh beet extract juice, one tablespoon of aloe

Vera gel and one tablespoon of black molasses. Consume this solution on a daily basis, prior

to having breakfast.

Apple Cider Vinegar ACV is rich in potassium and its use is suggested

by numerous health experts. It has the ability to reduce in size and dissolve the cysts triggered

by lack of potassium. Add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water.

6 forecasts for spectacular New Year's Eve celebrations around the world - Duration: 13:20.

6 forecasts for spectacular New Year's Eve celebrations around the world

By Kristina Pydynowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist. By Jillian MacMath, AccuWeather staff writer. Before one of the coldest ball drops on record occurs in New York City, revelers will be ringing in 2018 in many other locations around the globe.

Sydney is one of the first locations to celebrate the start of 2018 across the world, and revelers are treated to one of the citys biggest parties of the year.

The city hosts air shows, numerous massive firework displays and a parade of boats adorned with choreographed lights along the Sydney Harbour.

Fireworks explode over the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge as New Years celebrations are underway in Sydney, Australia, Sunday, Jan. While a shower cannot be ruled out, the majority of New Years Eve will be partly cloudy, warm and humid.

Temperatures will be around 21-22 C (lower 70s F) for the two firework displays planned for the evening. The first show is scheduled for 9 p.m.

local time and intended for children who will head to bed early. The main display kicks off at the stroke of midnight and lasts 12 minutes.

A breeze from the north-northeast should help to disperse the smoke and prevent it from ruining the show.

Partiers gather around Hong Kongs Victoria Harbour for an impressive fireworks display each year, and organizers are planning the most spectacular celebration to date to conclude 2017.

During the hour leading up to the fireworks extravaganza, rooftops around the Harbour will launch shooting stars to let visitors make wishes for the new year.

The weather will not put a damper on these New Years Eve celebrations. Sunday night will feature mostly clear and comfortable conditions. Temperatures will be around 17-18 C (63-65 F). A breeze from the east at 10-20 km/h (7-14 mph) is expected.

After Big Ben chimes at the stroke of midnight, revelers in London will ring in 2018 by watching the famous fireworks display. The fireworks will be shot off at the giant London Eye ferris wheel along the River Thames.

London will join the rest of the United Kingdom in being unsettled on New Years Eve. While far from a washout, an odd shower may cross the city during the celebrations.

Fireworks explode over the River Thames and the Palace of Westminsters Elizabeth Tower, known as Big Ben, as the New Years Day celebrations began in London, Friday, Jan.

Some revelers may opt to leave umbrellas at home, but jackets and hats will be needed. A brisk wind will drop AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures to near freezing by midnight despite actual temperatures being near 7 C (45 F).

Berlin hosts one of Europes biggest street parties to celebrate New Years Eve. The festivities take place from Bradenburg Gate to Victory Column--a span of two kilometers (1.2 miles).

The hundreds of thousands of people headed to Berlin to kick off 2018 will need rain gear as a band of steady rain will move through on Sunday night.

There is no threat for snow with mild air closing out 2017. Temperatures will fall from the lower teens C (lower 50s F) to the upper single digits C (upper 40s F) from the start of the evening to midnight.

A normal daytime high for Berlin is near 2 C (35 F). The combination of a slight breeze and the rain will hold RealFeel temperatures to around 6 C (43 F).

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Many New Years Eve celebrations around Rio de Janeiro take place on beaches--particularly Copacabana--where more than 2 million revelers gather to watch fireworks and enjoy live music.

Rio de Janeiro offers an escape for those in the Northern Hemisphere sick of the bitter cold. The city, as in all of the Southern Hemisphere, is in the midst of its summer.

It will feel like a summer evening in Rio de Janeiro on New Years Eve.

Actual temperatures are expected to be around 24-25 C (76 F) at midnight, but RealFeel temperatures will be higher due to humidity--averaging close to 30 C (85 F).

A shower or thunderstorm that may erupt amid the steamy air on Sunday can linger into the evening around the city. However, any showers and thunderstorms should fizzle by midnight as the sky clears.

Bahamas.

While all of the above New Years Eve celebrations revolve around grand fireworks displays, the Bahamas put a spin on the traditional celebrations. In Nassau, the city celebrates Junkanoo, where dance troupes, musicians and costumed-parade walkers take to the streets.

The parade lasts several hours and attracts thousands from around the world. The parade does not start at midnight, but two hours later. The early morning hours of Monday should be comfortable for parade participants and onlookers.

High humidity is expected to be absent as temperatures fall from near 21 C (70 F) to 18 C (65 F). Nothing more than patchy clouds will filter overhead. Get Ready For Something Different At The New Year's Eve Fireworks.

DENVER (CBS4)– The New Year's Eve celebration along the 16th Street Mall will once again offer two free fireworks displays, an early and late, with new elements never used before.

Organizers hope those gathering to ring in 2018 will also enjoy an evening at nearby restaurants or spend the night at a hotel.

"The show is always new so this show is going to be one of the greatest shows we've ever had," said Sharon Alton with the Downtown Denver Partnership.

The company that creates the concept for the show even manufactures some of the pyrotechnics. Jim Burnett of Western Enterprises says there is a new form of fireworks they'll use on Sunday.

New colors, everything's in layers, what they call layers, which is elevations," said Burnett. "You have an introduction of certain types of pyrotechnics introducing other effects above it, that complement everything.".

The company spends months planning for the show and promises there will be thousands of elements packed into an eight-minute sequence synchronized to music DJs will play along the 16th Street Mall.

Fireworks will launch from the roofs of two different buildings with wireless connections linking those two locations.

The annual tradition features two showings of the same display, one for families with children of all ages and another to mark the official start of 2018.

"Denver has a tremendous opportunity here," said Burnett. It's been an annual event for many years that I don't know if you understand how fortunate you are in this city.".

The approach organizers take year after year creates several spots to watch the show while enjoying music at different locations all evening long. "They are simultaneously choreographed to DJs all along the mall so anywhere is great viewing," said Alton.

But the forecast calls for relatively cold conditions on New Year's Eve. The Downtown Denver Partnership suggests using local businesses as a reason to go downtown and stay warm inside.

"Make a restaurant or hotel reservation, and come out at 9 p. , and stay out as long as your feet can handle it.

Reservations at some restaurants and hotels should still be available as the holiday weekend begins. Tickets are also on sale for private parties in downtown. There are two fireworks displays, one at 9 p.m. and the second at Midnight.

Both are free, as always. The cost to finance those shows require the sponsorship of Visit Denver and the Business Improvement District. But that investment at the beginning of 2018 should bring in returns all year long.

"People have such a great time," said Alton. "They come back again throughout the year so it's a really great showcase of Downtown Denver.".

Soldier, 4 others arrested for alleged hijack of fuel-laden truck - Duration: 3:14.

Corporal Akpan Edet, a 28-year-old serving soldier with the 81 Batallion of the Nigerian Army, Mokola, Ibadan, and four other men have been arrested by the police for allegedly hijacking a fuel-laden truck at a spot along Akobo-Iwo road, Ibadan.

Others arrested are Onyeka Joshua,34, Onhonwen Raphael, 32, Ugo Monday, 31, as well as Ifeanyi Emmanuel, The Sun reports.

While parading them along with fifteen other suspects on Friday, December 29, the Oyo state commissioner of police, Mr Abiodun Odude said the men were arrested on November 17.

Odude said: "The gang led by the soldier,who was clad in full military camouflage, on November 17, 2017 at 2130 hours (9:30p.

m), hijacked a 40,000 litre truck with Registration Number ABUJA ABC 132 XA and abducted the driver and his motor boy to Omi-Adio area after robbing them of their money and other valuables.

"The truck was thereafter driven to Akure-Ilesa Road by some of the gang members. The alarm raised by the victims attracted some members of the community, who in collaboration with the police arrested them.

"The Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the command swung into action immediately, and further investigation carried out by the SARS yielded fruitful results as three other members of the gang were arrested in their various criminal hideouts in Ibadan and the truck eventually recovered.

The soldier allegedly confessed to the crime, saying he had participated in two operations, but the first one was abortive, while the second operation was successful before their arrest.

Another member of the gang, Onyeka Joshua, attested to the fact that the gang used the soldier to stop the truck.

He claimed that they asked the driver for the waybill of the truck but driver could not produce the document, adding that they discovered that the petrol in the truck was a product of pipeline vandalism.

com previously reported that the general manager, crude oil marketing of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Mele Kyari, has linked the persisting fuel scarcity to peoples fear in buying the commodity which stems from a perceived increment in its price.

Kyari disclosed that there was no hitch in NNPCs end of the supply, since the organisation has played its role in ensuring that petroleum products were in steady supply.

NHL NEWS - Senators' Fredrik Claesson suspended for two games for check on Bruins player - Duration: 8:14.

Senators' Fredrik Claesson suspended for two games for check on Bruins player

Fredrik Claesson got the book thrown at him by the National Hockey League on Thursday.

The Ottawa Senators' defenceman received a two-game suspension from the NHL's department of player safety for his hit to the head of Boston Bruins forward Noel Acciari during Wednesday's game at TD Garden in Boston.

The Bruins won that game 5-1.

Claesson, who was thrown out of the game, had never been previously suspended, but the league ruled he went after Acciari's head.

"Claesson makes Acciari's head the main point of contact on a hit where the head was avoidable," the league said in its video.

"This is an illegal check to the head.

"It's important to note Acciari is eligible to be checked on this play provided that the hit is delivered in a legal fashion.

Rather than delivering a full bodycheck that hits through the core of Acciari, Claesson takes a poor angle of approach, driving his shoulder pad into the head of Acciari with substantial force.

The main point of contact is the head.".

Claesson, who will forfeit $6,900 in salary that is donated to the Players' Assistance Fund, will miss home games against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday and the Bruins on Saturday.

He is eligible to return Wednesday night against the Red Wings in Detroit.

Coach Guy Boucher wasn't sure about the NHL's ruling before he spoke to reporters Thursday, but noted Claesson didn't have a past history of league discipline.

"I found over time whenever I said what I thought it doesn't make a difference, and, when you get 10 people in a room, you get five or six opinions," Boucher said.

"You'd think you would all have the same opinion, but I will leave that to the league.

"Claesson is a terrific person, a great kid, that's definitely not a guy who's looking to head hunt anybody.

That's clear. We know that.

The league is going to decide with all the precedents they have, the rules they're trying to enforce, and we'll live with it.".

The decision means defenceman Ben Harpur, a healthy scratch after being called up from Belleville on Wednesday, will play against the Blue Jackets.

CONDON TABBED FOR START.

The Senators will start goalie Mike Condon against the Blue Jackets.

Goalie Craig Anderson will be given the night off after a difficult outing in the 5-1 loss to the Bruins on Wednesday.

Asked if Condon would receive an opportunity to take the ball and run with it, Boucher noted he had already had that chance, but hadn't been able to grab it.

"He's had the chance and he's had some good games," Boucher said.

"The game in Florida (before the Christmas break) was a good game.

Definitely he's had some good moments, and Andy has some good moments, too.

"Definitely, they're like some of our other players.

They're part of the team where the consistency doesn't come from expectations.

You expect to be this, you expect to have that type of season, you don't have it and then you stay stuck on those types of expectations and then you drown.

"I'm not doing that: I'm not drowning, I'm swimming and the players have to swim.

The attitude, the work ethic and the discipline have to be there to deserve.

It goes for goalies, too … They're in it, I'm in it, the players are in it.".

PHANEUF SETTLING INTO NEW ROLE.

Dion Phaneuf missed the Senators two games in Florida last week, when wife Elisha Cuthbert-Phaneuf gave birth to the couple's daughter, Zaphire, in Ottawa.

To say Phaneuf was excited would be an understatement.

Elisha and Zaphire are both doing well.

"Everything is amazing.

Zaphire and Mom are doing very good," Phaneuf said.

"For me, it was the best day of my life.

It's something you can't explain until you go through it.

I'm just happy we've got a healthy baby daughter.".

Phaneuf said picking the name wasn't easy.

"We went through several like many do and we got down to a couple," he said.

"We narrowed it down to that.

We both have different names that are kind of special and we thought that Zaphire, by the time we went through all of them, that was the one that was her.

It's fun. It's special like her.".

THE LAST WORDS.

Senators centre Derick Brassard, who had a small injury issue against the Bruins, wasn't on the ice for Thursday's skate.

Boucher said Brassard would be fine and would play against the Blue Jackets … The Senators will have an open game-day skate Friday.

Doors will open at 9:45 a.m.

They usually do this during the Ottawa International Hockey Festival to allow some of the minor-hockey teams to attend … Boucher said defenceman Mark Borowiecki had resumed skating, but there was no timetable for his return.

Borowiecki is recovering from a concussion.

"We have to wait until the next day or the day after to see when he's back," Boucher said.

"We're crossing fingers that he's back sooner than later, but that's also part of what we need to be mentally tough about because there's important players that are missing.".

How Uber's SoftBank Deal Could Smooth the Road Ahead for the Scandal-Scarred Startup - Duration: 4:25.

How Uber's SoftBank Deal Could Smooth the Road Ahead for the Scandal-Scarred Startup

Technology billionaire Masayoshi Son just hitched a ride with Uber.

But it's the ride-hailing company that's starting what it hopes is a new, less-bumpy journey.

Uber Technologies shareholders agreed to sell a sizable stake in the startup to a group led by SoftBank Group (SFTBY, +008%), adding to the already huge investments Son's company has made in the global ride-hailing business.

The deal announced Thursday will bring new cash to Uber, prevent arch U.S.

rival Lyft from dealing with SoftBank, appease some early, antsy backers and pacify a previously warring management team and board, while solidifying the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Dara Khosrowshahi.

All of that comes at a price: SoftBank and investors including Dragoneer Investment Group, Tencent Holdings (TCTZF, -0.48%), and Sequoia Capital, are buying existing Uber stock at a valuation of about $48 billion—well below the last financing round at $69 billion.

SoftBank is also purchasing $1.25 billion in new preferred stock at the higher valuation.

The transaction is expected to close in January, SoftBank said.

"As an investor we are pretty supportive of the deal," said Jay Kahn, a partner at Light Street Capital Management, which owns Uber shares and didn't tender any of its stake.

"It really makes SoftBank financially and strategically motivated to support Uber in every capacity.

If the transaction didn't go through, they could have allocated a significant amount of capital to Lyft.".

A series of missteps and management turmoil distracted Uber this year while helping Lyft gain market share in the U.S., boost sales and get closer to profitability.

In November, Son said SoftBank might walk away if he didn't get a good deal and shift the investment to Lyft.

With SoftBank soon to own billions of dollars of Uber shares, Son is unlikely to invest in the company's main rival.

Son has backed competing ride-hailing companies in other parts of the world, but the race is so intense in the U.S.

that a similar strategy would likely backfire, Kahn said.

"The key here is to create incentives not to embolden a competitor," he added.

The transaction also gives early Uber investors a chance to cash out.

Venture capital firms typically don't like to hold investments for more than a decade because that's when they have to return money to their own backers.

Uber has been around since early 2009, and isn't expected to go public until at least 2019, so the time is right.

Benchmark, one of Uber's largest early backers, also clashed with former CEO Travis Kalanick over how the company was run, and was a prime proponent of the governance reforms attached to the deal.
