PHILADELPHIA -- After a terrible start, the Philadelphia Flyers are back on track. Air Max 97 Shanghai Kaleidoscope . Kimmo Timonen had a goal and two assists, Steve Mason made 32 saves and the Flyers beat the Ottawa Senators 5-2 Tuesday night. Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier, Wayne Simmonds and Adam Hall also scored for Philadelphia, which is 4-0-1 in its last five games after a 4-10-1 start. "When you skate hard, create chances, good things will happen," Timonen said. "The team looks good right now. A lot of things are going well for us now and we have to keep it going." Clarke MacArthur and Kyle Turris each had a power-play goal for the Senators, who have lost two in a row. Timonen and Simmonds scored 23 seconds apart to snap a 2-all tie in the third period. First, Timonen got his first goal of the season on a nifty move to give the Flyers a 3-2 lead. He skated in from the left side and stuffed a backhander past Robin Lehner. Simmonds then scored on a turnaround slap shot from the slot, and Mason stoned Turris on a penalty shot with 5:06 left to preserve the two-goal cushion. "Confidence is a big thing," Flyers coach Craig Berube said. "Our top players are producing, getting points and feeling good about themselves." Coming off a 2-0-1 road trip that included a 5-0 win at Ottawa, the Flyers jumped out to a 2-0 lead before letting the Senators back in it. Turris had a chance to give Ottawa the lead with a wide-open net midway through the third, but defenceman Nicklas Grossmann made a double-skate save in the crease. The play was reviewed after the next stoppage and upheld. The puck hit Grossmanns left skate, bounced off his right skate and out. "I tried to get some guys out of the crease and I just felt the puck hit my left foot," Grossmann said. "It was more lucky than reflex." Timonen and Simmonds scored shortly after a long stop for the video review. Down 2-0 for the 11th time in 21 games, the Senators started their comeback in the second period when MacArthur fired a top-shelf shot from inside the left circle through a screen and over Masons shoulder. It stayed 2-1 until the third period when Turris scored 10 seconds into Ottawas fifth power-play chance. Turris backhanded a bouncing puck past Mason to tie it at 2. "We had an opportunity with 10 minutes left in the game and the score tied and we didnt respond well," Senators coach Paul MacLean said. The Flyers went ahead 1-0 after killing consecutive penalties that included a 12-second overlap. Giroux scored a power-play goal with 2:16 left in the first period off a perfect pass by Jakub Voracek, who faked a shot from the right circle and slid the puck across the ice. Giroux ripped it over defenceman Chris Phillips and past the sprawled Lehner. It was only the second goal of the season for Giroux, and the Flyers captain celebrated by kissing his stick on the bench. Couturier made it 2-0 early in the second by ending a 25-game goal drought. He took a shot from below the goal line that bounced off the post, hit Lehners right skate and went in. "It feels good. I feel 20 pounds lighter," Couturier said. "Ive had some quality chances lately and it feels good to finally get one in." NOTES: Voracek has six points (two goals, four assists) in his last five games. ... Giroux didnt have any goals in the first 15 games before getting two in the last five. ... Lehner started over Craig Anderson, who lost to the Flyers last week and has allowed 11 goals in his last three games. ... The Senators have allowed the first goal in 14 consecutive games. ... Couturier hadnt scored a goal since April 15. ... Mason hasnt allowed more than three goals in his 21 starts since joining the Flyers in a trade last April. Air Max 97 Vapormax For Sale . According to the sportsbook BoDog, the Stampeders are 8/5 favourites to take home the Grey Cup at Mosaic Stadium in Regina on November 24. Air Max 97 Vapormax Cheap . Hes just beginning to get similar results. The right-hander struggled after winning the honour in 2008 and 2009, but a retooling of his game has begun to pay off and has the San Francisco Giants thinking about the Lincecum of old. http://www.outletairmax97.com/ . -- Darrelle Revis says at least 26 teams called after he was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.PALO ALTO, Calif. -- On any given day here at his companys Silicon Valley headquarters, Vivek Ranadive is ready to compete against any employee who wants to challenge him to any contest. Once, the TIBCO Software chairman and new owner of the Sacramento Kings did 150 push-ups to beat out a co-worker who thought he could do more. Another time, it was two-dozen pull-ups -- holding his chin above the bar on the final repetition just to gloat. More recently, he finished a workout on a stair-stepper after breaking his left shoulder in a bicycle accident. "I dont like to lose," he said. Spend a little time around Ranadive, and that competitive spirit -- the same one that convinced the NBA to allow him to buy the Kings instead of sell to a group that wanted to move them to Seattle last May -- is impossible to ignore. Its how he built his software empire, and its how he plans to shake up Sacramentos only major professional sports franchise. "When you think about how a pearl is made, it starts with an empty shell," Ranadive said. "And an impurity, or an irritant, a grain of sand, gets into the shell. And then a pearl forms around it. And so to make something of beauty and value, you often need an irritant. My role is to be like the Chief Irritant. So Im just going around annoying people." Ranadive moves at a frenetic pace. "The Power of Now," his companys slogan reads on a wall inside the entrance of its main building. On a recent day, he was juggling calls from Sacramento to his native India between meetings and bowls of blueberries -- his favourite part of his gluten-free diet -- at TIBCO headquarters, an office park south of Stanford nestled near other technology giants such as Google, Apple and Facebook. Ranadive, now 56, is credited with digitizing information for clients around the globe -- including the Wall Street trading floors -- with software that gives instant updates and analysis. Since he founded TIBCO in 1997, it has grown into a billion-dollar-a-year enterprise with about 3,700 employees and offices in 31 countries. "We move more information in a day on our backbone than Twitter moves in a month," Ranadive said. "If TIBCO stopped working, then basically the banks would stop, the exchanges would stop, the airlines would stop, the phone companies would stop, national security would be compromised. Basically, you couldnt get out of bed." Ranadive thrives on that responsibility. He has no problem delegating -- "the best thing I ever learned to do is surround myself with people way smarter than me," he said -- but he also admits hes "not really comfortable not being the No. 1 guy. Thats who I am. I always do my own thing." That became apparent after Ranadive joined Joe Lacobs group to buy the Golden State Warriors in 2010 and he was left with little influence over the franchise. So when Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson called him to anchor the coalition to keep the Kings from moving to Seattle, Ranadive moved swiftly. He sent TIBCO vice-president and former San Francisco 49ers All-Pro running back Roger Craig -- one of his closest friends -- to find out more information. Craig, who met Ranadive about 15 years ago when he accidentally sat in Ranadives seats at a Stanford-Duke mens basketball game, knew immediately that Ranadive would mount a successful bid. "Win, win, win. Thats the bottom line with Vivek," Craig said. "That permeates over the whole company. Thats his attitude. Just win. Find a way to win." Ever since he could remember, Ranadive has dreamed big. He grew up the son of prominent parents in a beachside ssuburb of Mumbai, with servants to make his bed, carry his luggage and drive him around. Air Max 97 Fake. The youngest of three children, he was always taking items such as watches and radios apart and reassembling them. And at age 11, his curiosity spread the night Neil Armstrong walked on the moon -- July 20, 1969. "My ear was plastered to the transistor radio when I heard those magical words, One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," Ranadive said. "That was a pivotal moment in my life. It was like, Wow. Who are these people who could take a man, put him in a box and send him 250,000 miles away to land on a rock and do it flawlessly? That was incredible. What brilliance. What courage. What perseverance. I said, OK. Im going to study science and technology and Im going to be one of them." Ranadives urge to leave India strengthened because of the political turmoil at home. His father flew spitfires during World War II and returned home a hero. But in the 1970s, after the parliament passed the controversial Maintenance of Internal Security Act, Ranadive said his father was arrested and jailed for challenging the safety record of Indias planes. He was released after a lengthy court battle. Vivek was 17 when he left India for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston. He never asked for money from his parents because of the unrest at home. He said he showed up at MIT with "$50 in my pocket" and clothes that were "completely inadequate" for the harsh New England winters. Ranadive earned a bachelors and a masters degree in electrical engineering from MIT and an MBA from Harvard. His engineering and technology career escalated, landing jobs with major clients such as Ford Motor Co. and Fortune Systems. Ranadive relocated to Palo Alto in 1985 to start his first software company, which delivered electronic information to users in real time. Soon after, he met his former wife, Deborah Addicott, on a blind date at a Mexican restaurant in the San Diego area. The couple, who divorced 15 years ago, have three children: Aneel, 29, lives in New York and recently started a software company; Andre, 24, is an executive with TIBCO who is helping design the Kings smartphone app; and Anjali, 20, is studying marine biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and is also an aspiring singer. Ranadive, who smiles and laughs with almost every breath now, called the divorce one of the hardest times of his life. The shared custody left him devastated, but it also forced him to make the most of his time with his children. The first time he picked up a basketball came while coaching his daughters middle school team, which made it all the way to the national championships. Before then, his sports knowledge was limited to mostly soccer and cricket, because he played both while growing up in India. He also owns a black belt in Taekwondo. These days, Ranadive said he always wakes up with "energy and optimism." Between entertaining friends at his Atherton home and hiking trails in Northern California, Ranadive is searching for a place in Sacramento to keep a closer watch on his newest project: the Kings. There is an arena to be built and promises to be kept -- to Sacramento, to the NBA and to India, where Ranadive wants to expand the leagues presence. And he has no plans to sit around and hope it all happens. "The same thing is true in the business world. In some ways, no matter how good you are, you need to show that youre getting better," Ranadive said. "If you work hard and you do the right things, I think you can make anything a winner." ' ' '
