The CASH line is a forward line of ice hockey players, playing for the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL). The members of the line include Daniel Alfredsson, Jason Spezza and Dany Heatley, who are all considered star players. The line is notable as a top offensive line, the top line for the Senators, and is widely regarded as one of the top lines in the NHL earning such quotes as 'best trio in the NHL', 'most dangerous line in hockey', 'high-flying trio' and 'potent first line' in the sports media and hockey fans, both of the Senators and other teams. In the last two seasons, 2005-06 and 2006-07, the trio have combined to score 175 goals.
During the 2007 Stanley Cup playoffs, the three players tied for the playoff lead in points, with 22 each, (Alfredsson having 14 goals) leading the Ottawa Senators to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in franchise history. During the Finals, Anaheim Ducks coach Randy Carlyle had to employ his top checking line and his two Norris Trophy-winning defencemen to stop the line. The name of the line is also appropriate as the team plays in the Scotiabank Place arena.
The players are popular also. The players have all appeared on the cover of The Hockey News several times. As of November 2, 2007, Alfredsson and Heatley are tied for third among active players with 6 appearances and Spezza has 5 cover appearances. Both Heatley and Spezza have appeared on video game covers.
Daniel Alfredsson
Daniel Alfredsson, who plays right wing, has played his entire NHL professional career for the Ottawa Senators, joining them for the 1995-96 season, winning the Calder Trophy for outstanding rookie in a season. He is the only Senator to win the trophy. He became captain for the Ottawa Senators in 1999, and has been their captain ever since. He has played in every playoff game for the Ottawa Senators in their history.
Since the line was formed, Alfredsson has recorded the two highest point totals of his career, 103 and 87 points. Daniel had an outstanding 2007 Stanley Cup playoffs, leading all scorers. He scored the overtime goal against the Buffalo Sabres in the Eastern Conference finals series to get the Senators to their first Finals appearance. He has scored over 300 goals in his career, 72 in the past two seasons alone since the line was formed.
He has represented Sweden in several World Championships and Winter Olympics, and was a member of the gold medal winning team in 2004. He is the first European NHL team captain of a team in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Dany Heatley
Dany Heatley, who plays left wing, joined the Senators in a trade in 2005 for Marian Hossa from the Atlanta Thrashers, where he had starred since being the second overall draft pick in the 2000 NHL Entry draft, winning the 2001 Calder Trophy. He had requested a trade from the Thrashers after a automobile crash in 2003 in which he was driving, which led to the death of a team-mate.
Since joining the Senators, his goal production has increased. He has scored 50 goals in the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons, the only player in the NHL to do so, and the first in over 10 years to do so. Both were higher totals than any individual season with the Thrashers. As of the end of the 2006-07 season, Heatley has scored 180 goals in 354 regular season games, and is considered 'the best pure goalscorer in the NHL'.
Notably, starting from his first game in his first season with the Senators, Heatley put together a 22-game consecutive point streak while a member of the line, the second-longest to Wayne Gretzky's 23-game streak while playing for the Los Angeles Kings after joining a new team. As of the end of the 2006-07 season, Heatley has played in every Senators game since he has joined the team.
Dany has represented Canada in several World Championships, including two gold medals in 2003 and 2004 and the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.
Jason Spezza
Jason Spezza, who plays center, joined the Ottawa Senators as a first-round draft choice, the third overall in the 2001 Entry Draft. The draft pick was obtained from the New York Islanders as part of the trade where Alexei Yashin went to the Islanders. He was widely regarded as a top-notch offensive player in junior hockey when he played for the Mississauga Ice Dogs of the Ontario Hockey League.
Former Senators coach Jacques Martin was reticent to use Spezza during his first years in the league, because of his concern about Spezza turning over the puck to the opposition, famously bowing to fans' pressure to play him in the 2003 playoffs in the fifth game of a Conference Finals series against the New Jersey Devils and the Senators were behind 3-1 in games. The addition of Spezza sparked the team and the team would take the series to seven games before losing. The arrival of Heatley in 2005-06 created a potent combination of scorer and set-up man. Spezza has now recorded his top two seasons, recording 90 (71 assists) and 87 (53 assists) point seasons playing with Heatley.
Spezza was chosen as a substitute for Team Canada in the 2006 Olympics, but did not see action.
On September 11, 2007, Spezza was featured on the cover of the NHL 2K8 video game. He is the first Senator to be on a sports game cover.

Llewdor is the name of a fictional country used in the personal computer adventure game '. It is separated from the by a huge ocean accessible only by large ships like traditional pirate ships. The nation was ruled by an elderly and despotic wizard by the name of during the course of the game. He kidnapped babies from other realms and "adopted" them as his slaves. However, Manannan never used more than one slave at a time, in order to eliminate the chance that his vassals would escape by using teamwork. Seagulls are seen in the game near the ocean and a spider that is capable of devoring humans is located in a gigantic spider web in the forest. However, bees are completely absent in the game, even though the Three Bears hold residence in rural Llewdor.
History
During Manannan's tenure as absolute leader of Llewdor, brigands and thieves prospered. These criminals are fond of stealing valuables from townsmen and slaves alike. All forms of crimes (including attempted escape from slavery) usually has the death penalty as the official form of punishment. However, the local bandits were always sneaky enough to avoid the wrath of the nation's leader. The leader's ability to turn people into ashes is the primary form of punishment to people who break his laws. However, he uses lesser punishments on his slaves before trying to kill them.
Port Bruce is Llewdor's capital city and its only city. While holding no place to hold a proper government, it has a public newspaper called the Bruce Banner, a restaurant/bar with a local female bartender that serves alcoholic beverages to pirates, a general store that is owned by an elderly man and his dog Kenny, and a port for seafaring trade. Manannan's rule was eventually ended when a slave named Gwydion (a.k.a. Prince Alexander of Daventry) learned magic and neutralized the threat by turning the malevolent ruler into a cat. The fate of Llewdor is considered to be unknown as of the conclusion of the game, although an unofficial sequel using ZZT called [http://www.sq7.org/KQ/index.php/King's_Quest_ZZT_(IF) King's Quest ZZT] suggested that Llewdor developed a more representative form of government. This step in their evolution as a country would come right after the people realized that they would have to rule themselves after their former ruler could longer rule them as a cat.
Geography
The geography of Llewdor features hills, grassland, little agriculture, and a large desert to the west that is ruled by a tribe of Medusa-type monsters that turns people into statues. This desert divides Llewdor from its neighbor to the west. The nation's close proximity to the ocean makes it profitable for merchants to do trading to other lands like the Kingdom of Daventry. Due to the absence of arctic or tundra lands, it is suggested that the ocean's currents keep the eastern half of Llewdor at a moderate temperature year round. A fatal chasm is located south of Port Bruce that was created by supernatural powers harnessed by the leader in order to prevent the citizenry from leaving Llewdor by land. However, a similar chasm is used near the leader's house to keep a massive amount of intruders out. Only a small amount of people could use the narrow roadway that leads to Manannan's house.
Demography
The demographics of Llewdor consists of mostly peasants, sailors, and lower class townsmen. Literacy is virtually absent even in Port Bruce because Llewdor's only library is owned the the leader. Except for visitors from Daventry and other countries, most denizens of Llewdor are either completely illiterate or only possess basic literacy skills. Economic growth is 0% as the rigid authoritarian rule of the wizard Manannan stifles any technological progress, which would indirectly affect economic progress, through the use of magic.
Since there are no children in Llewdor, the birth rate is also 0%, representing a problem of zero population growth. The combination of zero economic growth and zero population growth has discouraged warmongering overseas kingdoms from invading the country while under Mannanan's rule, assuming that the nation is:
* 1) impoverished, and therefore, it would not be worthwhile to invade
* 2) packed with harsh terrain, and therefore, the population will always remain very low
* 3) underdeveloped, and therefore, would make a better trading partner than conquered territory
However, the leader of the land practices a form of laissez-faire and does not directly interfere with the economic progress of Llewdor. Feudalism is notably absent for a society with 13th century values and technology level due to the lack of agriculture. Beef, pork, and honey have to be imported from other lands while chicken is considered a luxury item solely consumed by Manannan because he owns the nation's only chicken farm. Bees are absent from the land, but a giant spider is present. This makes silk an influence factor in the finer fashions worn by the barmaid and general store owner who reside in Port Bruce. Despite there being no external threats from other nations, internal threats are high due to the prosperous reign of thieves, brigands, and pirates in this atmosphere of laissez-faire economics. This problem is complicated even further by a lack of police force or public militia that is served to protect the innocent civilians.
At the lowest level of the social hierarchy are the slaves, who do not have access to gold pieces, thus making purchasing ale from the town's female bartender or purchasing items from the general store impossible as charities are non-existent in this country. Slaves are killed by the leader at the age of 18, thus there are no adult slaves in Llewdor. Unlike most villages, Port Bruce doesn't have a village elder or a mayor (either appointed Manannan himself or elected by the people) that represents the people's interests. This information suggests that the government of Llewdor is not representative in any form.
Industry
The main industries of Llewdor are alcoholic beverages, statues (collected from the local Medusas and often that of deceased people unfortunate enough to gaze upon one of them without using a mirror shield as described in the legend), and seafood. While it trades with other kingdoms, the prosperous bandits and thieves keep economic growth at 0%. While zero economic growth has protected Llewdor from ambitious invaders in lieu of an organized army and/or navy, it has also caused poverty. This advanced level of poverty has prevented the formation of guilds in Llewdor that are present in other medieval societies. Despite the economic stagnation and the poverty, there are an absence of homeless people in Llewdor and homelessness is not considered to be an issue for the citizens of Llewdor.
The leader of the nation practices a form of laissez-faire in the economic operations of Llewdor and does not play a role in the economic development of the nation. Agriculture plays a very limited role, so the diet of the citizens consists of mostly fish and alcoholic beverages. Cattle and horse farms are notably absent in Llewdor, suggesting that animal husbandry is considered to be an unknown concept among the citizenry of Llewdor. However, a chicken coop is located just outside the leader's house. The wizard's slave is supposed to feed the chickens regularly and they are a luxury item enjoyed only by the evil wizard Manannan himself.

A treatment program is something that helps improve the quality of life of a person. It can improve them physically, emotionally, socially, and/or mentally. By learning not to use recreational drugs (cannabis, heroin, and/or alcoholic beverages), speak in a loud voice, and/or talk in a rude manner, these people gain the social skills needed to have a social life (even in the boundaries of a mental hospital or group home). Places that use treatment programs include Woodview Manor in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. They also include the Norfolk Association for Community Living, Child and Parent Resource Institute, the Betty Ford Clinic, and other fine places.
Treatment programs are usually for children and adolescents, although they are occasionally prescribed for adults. However, treating adults is taken more serious than treating children or teenagers because their problems are rooted deeper through repression and self-implanted thoughts in their head. These programs are usually temporary, although others require lifelong residency. However, family members or next of kin can collect the deceased patient in their home cemetery in most instances. Exceptions are at high security mental hospitals and institutions that have their own cemeteries. Most treatment programs still allow patients to vote in elections, although a few programs require disenfranchisement through either a criminal record, a declaration of incompetency, or a certification that the patient is legally insane.

A term used to describe the 2007 college football season. The season was highlighted by numerous upsets including 12 losses of top 5 teams to unranked teams. During regular season play, only one team, the Hawaii Warriors (from the Western Athletic Conference), finished the season undefeated.
The term originates from the 2007 Fiesta Bowl in which the Boise State Broncos defeated the Oklahoma Sooners in what is considered one of the biggest upsets in college football history. The win by Boise State is given some of the credit for the season that followed the win.
