Canucks triumph over Oilers

  • Arabic

The Vancouver Canucks scored three goals in the second period to get the better of the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 on Wednesday and stay top of the Northwest Division. Daniel Sedin recorded two goals and one assist and Ryan Kesler added another as the Canucks avenged a 3-0 loss to the Oilers on Saturday. "The first couple of shifts were hard, but it turned into a good game for us and we needed it," Kesler said.

"I think everyone was disappointed with the loss on Saturday night in Edmonton. It was good to get back at them." RJ Umberger scored with 2:05 remaining in overtime to give the Columbus Blue Jackets a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks. Michael Peca netted his second goal of the season and rookie goaltender Steve Mason worked hard as he turned aside 47 shots for Columbus. Todd Bertuzzi ended his 20-game goal-scoring drought by netting with 72 seconds remaining in overtime as the Calgary Flames handed the Minnesota Wild their sixth straight setback with a 3-2 triumph.

David Clarkson scored the game-winner and set up another goal as the New Jersey Devils avoided a third straight loss with a 5-3 triumph over the Buffalo Sabres. The captain Jamie Langenbrunner and Patrik Elias had two assists apiece and Scott Clemmensen made 23 saves for the Devils, who are 10-2-1 in their last 13 games. The defenceman Michal Rozsival scored a pair of goals - including the game-winner with 79 seconds remaining in overtime - as the New York Rangers recorded a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings.

Marc Staal picked up the puck near the right-wing boards and pushed a pass to Rozsival, who fired a slap shot home for the game-winner. * Reuters

Libya's Gold

UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves. 

The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.

Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.

Dr Amal Khalid Alias revealed a recent case of a woman with daughters, who specifically wanted a boy.

A semen analysis of the father showed abnormal sperm so the couple required IVF.

Out of 21 eggs collected, six were unused leaving 15 suitable for IVF.

A specific procedure was used, called intracytoplasmic sperm injection where a single sperm cell is inserted into the egg.

On day three of the process, 14 embryos were biopsied for gender selection.

The next day, a pre-implantation genetic report revealed four normal male embryos, three female and seven abnormal samples.

Day five of the treatment saw two male embryos transferred to the patient.

The woman recorded a positive pregnancy test two weeks later.
