VOORHEES, N. Patrick Willis Womens Jersey.J. - From the general manager on down, the Philadelphia Flyers say enjoying the challenge is the key to their Sunday showdown with the New York Rangers, a game that could decide the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. If you cant embrace this situation and give it your best, theres something wrong, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said Saturday. I expect us to play a good game. The game in Philadelphia will mark only the third time in Flyers history a playoff spot will be determined in the final game of the season - and the first time since 1972. Ive never seen anything this close, anything like it, but we might as well embrace it, enjoy it, fourth-line winger Ian Laperriere said. I know our fans are going to go crazy tomorrow. We need that and its going to be a fun game to play. The Flyers have played well of late at home and hold a 23-14-3 mark at the Wachovia Center, while the Rangers are 20-16-4 on the road. New York leads the season series, 3-2. The two teams go into the game tied with 86 points. Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said his team has to be more consistent than it was in Friday nights 4-3 loss at Madison Square Garden. The Flyers got off to a 1-0 lead just 40 seconds into the contest, then Philadelphias Daniel Carcillo took a double-minor for high-sticking Brandon Prust and New York scored, taking the momentum away. They had the better of us for that first period, Laviolette said. We need to be more powerful than them for longer stretches. Its a big game tomorrow, well need some big-time performances. In Friday nights game, captain Mike Richards gave his strongest performance since the Olympic break. His message to his team: Look forward to playing the game. Dont be tentative. Just make plays. Richards had his first two-goal game since Feb. 1, but the rest of the Flyers had a difficult time getting scoring chances. I thought we may have been a little bit nervous, Richards said. But were coming to a place where were comfortable. We play well there, so everybody should be confident. Flyers leading goal-scorer Jeff Carter did not practice on Saturday after returning in Friday nights game at New York from an eight-game absence because of a broken bone in his foot. The Flyers said they gave Carter the day off to avoid aggravating the injury, but expect him to play Sunday. Chris Pronger figures this game might come down to which team brings the most desire. Its about being determined and having that single-minded belief that youre going to end up on top, Pronger said. It all boils down to one game and how we play. Were going to need to be an aggressive, up-tempo physical team. We need to make sure were imposing our will on them. Antrel Rolle Jersey.

BEIJING - Chinas top economic planning body said Monday it has approved the establishment of a pilot economic transformation zone in North Chinas coal-rich Shanxi province to diversify the regions resource-based economy. The goal of the zone was to transform the conventional industries and strike a balance among the agricultural, industrial and tertiary sectors in Shanxi, said Peng Sen, Vice Minister of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) at a press conference.

Shanxi has powered the economic development of other regions, but with heavy economic, social and environmental consequences, said Niu Renliang, Vice Governor of Shanxi. In the past 60 years, Shanxi had produced 12 billion tons of coal, of which 75 percent had been transported to other regions, said Niu. The coal-based economy had not brought prosperity to the people of Shanxi, where the urban per capita disposable income and rural net income ranked lower than 20th among Chinas 31 provincial-level areas, Niu said. This had also resulted in Shanxis over-dependence on external demand. During the Asian financial crisis, Shanxis economy faced great difficulties. In the international financial crisis in 2009, Shanxi was the slowest growing reegional economy in China. Authentic Jimmy Graham Jersey Shanxi also suffered from an unsustainable industrial structure. The sectors of coal and coke manufacturing, power generation and metallurgy accounted for more than 85 percent of its total economy, said Niu. Other targets for the zone included eliminating outdated production capacity, repairing environmental damage, and improving work safety, said Niu. Energy consumption per 10,000 yuan ($1,502) of gross domestic product (GDP) in Shanxi and its sulfur dioxide emissions were both more than double the national levels, Niu said. For every ton of coal extracted in the province, 2.48 tons of water was polluted, and coal mining had resulted in 20,000 square kilometers of land at risk of subsidence, one eighth of the provinces total area, he said. With an annual coal production of 600 million to 700 million tons, Shanxi also reported frequent mine accidents, said Peng, the NDRC Vice Minister. Due to years of effort, the work safety situation in Shanxi has drastically improved, said Niu. Last year, the number of deaths from work accidents was 1,018 fewer than 2008, and the deaths from coal mine accidents were 457 fewer in the first 11 months this year from the same period of 2008, Niu said. In the province, the number of deaths from producing every million tons of coal fell to 0.19 for the 11 months this year, from 0.9 for the whole of 2005, he said. In transforming its economy, Shanxi would also work to develop strategic emerging industries, upgrade conventional industries, and raise the efficiency of the exploration and utilization of the conventional energy, said Peng, adding the process would be challenging.
