Uniforms
As with the previous game, the NHL used four uniquely-colored jerseys for each of the four division teams  As this was the first game with Adidas as the uniform supplier, the uniforms all featured Adidas' trademark three stripes down the sides of the jerseys, underneath the arms  The colors for each division were: blue with yellow trim, with blue pants, for the Atlantic; gray with yellow trim and black pants for the Metropolitan; black with reddish-orange trim and black pants for the Central; and white with reddish-orange trim and white pants for the Pacific  White pants had previously only been worn in the NHL by the 1974–75 Washington Capitals for a few games, and the Los Angeles Kings for the 2015 NHL Stadium Series game  The numbers on the back of the jerseys featured a pattern based on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge

Passage 3:
53rd National Hockey League All-Star Game
The 2003 National Hockey League All-Star Game took place on February 2, 2003 at Office Depot Center in Sunrise, the home of the Florida Panthers  It was the first All-Star Game since the 1997 All-Star Game to use the Eastern Conference–Western Conference format 

All-Star weekend
NHL YoungStars Game
The All-Star festivities began on February 1 with the YoungStars Game, pitting the best rookies on League rosters against each other  Months ago, it was decided that the assistant coaches of the team with the best points percentages in their respective conferences through the games of Wednesday, January 8, were selected as coaches for the Eastern Conference and Western Conference YoungStars, respectively   The YoungStars players were selected by the NHL's Hockey Operations Department, in consultation with League general managers 
The game's format changed from the previous season as it will be played using five skaters and one goaltender per team   The duration of the game will consist of three 20-minute periods, running time with three-minute stops after goals with a 20-minute break between periods   If the score is tied after three periods, a sudden-death shootout will determine the winner 
The Washington Capitals' Brian Sutherby won the Most Valuable Player for the Eastern Conference YoungStars by scoring two goals and an assist as the East cruised to an easy 8–3 victory  Hometown favourite Stephen Weiss also scored a goal and an assist for the East to thrill the Panthers fans in attendance 

Super Skills Competition
A traditional event followed the YoungStars game, with the NHL Skills Competition  The Western Conference won the competition 15–9, made memorable by hard-shooting defenseman Al MacInnis of the St  Louis Blues winning his seventh Hardest Shot event, and Colorado Avalanche's Patrick Roy allowed only a single goal through both of the Goaltending Competitions 

Individual Event winners
Puck Control Relay – Martin St  Louis (Tampa Bay Lightning)
Fastest Skater – Marian Gaborik (Minnesota Wild) - 13 713 seconds
Accuracy Shooting – Jeremy Roenick (Philadelphia Flyers) - 4 hits, 4 shots
Hardest Shot – Al MacInnis (St  Louis Blues)  - 98 9 mph (159 2 km/h)
Goaltenders Competition – Patrick Roy (Colorado Avalanche) - 1 GA, 9 shots

The game
On Sunday, February 2, the actual All-Star Game began  The Eastern Conference was forced to name five injury replacements to their roster, as Ed Belfour, Brian Leetch, Mario Lemieux, Saku Koivu and Mats Sundin were all out with injury  The Atlanta Thrashers' Dany Heatley opened the scoring for the Eastern Conference by scoring past Colorado Avalanche's Patrick Roy just five and a half minutes into the first period 
Colorado's Peter Forsberg and Dallas Stars' Mike Modano scored the next two goals to give the Western Conference a 2–1 lead  However, Heatley would score his second consecutive goal on Roy, tapping in a rebound of a shot by Washington Capitals' Jaromir Jagr to tie the score at 2, a bit more than halfway through the first period  Five minutes later, Minnesota Wild's Marian Gaborik scored by banging in Los Angeles Kings' Mathieu Schneider's rebound past Tampa Bay Lightning's Nikolai Khabibulin to restore the Western lead at 3–2, which remained at the end of the first period  Goaltenders Roy and Khabibulin would then be replaced by Chicago Blackhawks' Jocelyn Thibault and New Jersey Devils' Martin Brodeur for the West and the East, respectively 
The change of goaltenders made little difference for Heatley, as he finished his hat trick with a wrist shot past Thibault to tie the game at 3  For the third consecutive time, the West replied when Vancouver Canucks' Ed Jovanovski caught a deflection off the skate of Washington Capitals' Sergei Gonchar  Heatley then scored his fourth goal of the game by converting a pass from hometown hero Florida Panthers' Olli Jokinen and shooting it over Thibault's glove  Heatley's four goals in an All-Star game tied the previous records of Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Vincent Damphousse and Mike Gartner and became the first player in All-Star history to score four goals with no one else scoring in between them 
No more goals were scored in the second period, and Ottawa Senators' Patrick Lalime came in to play goal for the Eastern Conference, while Dallas Stars' Marty Turco came in for the West  St  Louis Blues' Al MacInnis scored past Lalime's glove to give the West a 5–4 lead, a minute and a half into the third period 
Jokinen tied the game by taking a pass from Jaromir Jagr and skating in on a partial breakaway and putting a hard wrist shot past Turco to tie the game at 5  With ten minutes left in regulation, neither team were able to score on the two goaltender  The third period ended in a 5–5 tie and the winner of the 53rd NHL All-Star Game would have to be decided in overtime for the first time since 1988 
Patrick Lalime and Marty Turco remained in goal for the overtime, and preserved a scoreless extra period  For the first time in history, an NHL All-Star Game would be settled in a shootout  The Vancouver Canucks' Markus Naslund, Dallas Stars' Bill Guerin and the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim's Paul Kariya would score against Lalime for the Western Conference  On the other side, Turco only let in one goal in the shootout, which was scored by Dany Heatley  (Heatley's shootout goal did not count towards his regulation total of four, leaving him tied for the record ) The Western Conference won the game with a 6–5 shootout victory  Heatley, with a total of five points, was named All-Star MVP 

Uniforms
The NHL carried over the uniform design from the previous All-Star Game  Since the uniforms introduced the year before used the colors of the conference logos, the Western Conference used the same blue jersey worn by the 2002 North American team  However, due to the contrast issues from the 2002 game, the burgundy jersey worn by the World team was replaced with a white version worn by the Eastern Conference team  Both uniforms continued to feature black as the primary trim color, with silver and white accents  The player names and numbers on the back of the Western team's uniforms were rendered in black, however, leaving the uniforms completely devoid of the conference's burgundy color  Both teams continued to wear flag patches representing each player's homeland on the left shoulder  This would be the last use of national flags on the All-Star uniforms to date

Passage 5:
52nd National Hockey League All-Star Game
The 2002 National Hockey League All-Star Game took place on February 2, 2002, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles  The final score was World 8, North America 5   This was the last NHL All-Star Game to have the North America vs  World All-Star format  It was also the last All-Star Game that was held in the same year as the Winter Olympics until the 2018 edition 

All-Star weekend
NHL YoungStars Game
The inaugural NHL YoungStars Game was played (replacing Heroes of Hockey old-timers game) featuring the future young stars of the NHL   The two teams were divided between Team Melrose and Team Fox  The game format had four skaters (and one goaltender) per side and the first two periods were for 12 minutes running time, and then the third period would run for 11 minutes, running time, plus a final minute of stop time  The teams were allowed a four-minute break between periods  If the score is tied after three periods, a sudden-murder shootout will determine the winner   Team Melrose would defeat Team Fox by a score of 13–7, as Atlanta Thrashers' Ilya Kovalchuk would score six goals for Team Melrose, with one of them being on a penalty shot   Kovalchuk was named as the first-ever YoungStars MVP 

Super Skills Competition
The World All-Stars would win their fourth and last skills competition barely defeating the North American All-Stars by a score of 12–11   In the individual events, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim' Paul Kariya would win his fourth-straight Puck Control Relay event, while Carolina Hurricanes' Sami Kapanen would win his second Fastest Skater event and Detroit Red Wings' Sergei Fedorov would win his first Hardest Shot event   Two individual events would be shared as Calgary Flames' Jarome Iginla and Vancouver Canucks' Markus Naslund would share the Accuracy Shooting event title and Colorado Avalanche's Patrick Roy and Detroit Red Wings' Dominik Hasek would win the Goaltenders Competition after the Pass and Score and Breakaway Relay events

Accuracy Shooting – Jarome Iginla (Calgary Flames)/Markus Naslund (Vancouver Canucks) - 4 hits, 6 shots
Hardest Shot – Sergei Fedorov (Detroit Red Wings)  - 101 5 mph
Goaltenders Competition – Patrick Roy (Colorado Avalanche)/Dominik Hasek (Detroit Red Wings) - 1 GA, 9 shots

The game
The 52nd NHL All-Star Game was highlighted by Pittsburgh Penguins' Mario Lemieux's 13th career goal which tied Wayne Gretzky for the most goals scored in All-Star Game competition, Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Nikolai Khabibulin's flawless third period and a flawed MVP selection process   Three players would put up three-point performances that included North American All-Stars Chicago Blackhawks' leftwinger Eric Daze (2–1–3) and San Jose Sharks' centre Vincent Damphousse (1–2–3), while Vancouver Canucks' left winger Markus Naslund (2–1–3) would be the only player for the World All-Stars to score three points   The World All-Stars rallied for 5 goals in the third period and a comeback win  Daze who was appearing in his first All-Star Game, was chosen as All-Star MVP, becoming the first Blackhawk player to win the award since 1971 when Bobby Hull won the award  A minor controversy ensued over the MVP selection, as World All-Stars goalie Khabibulin recorded a third period shutout that allowed his team to storm back from 5-3 down  Apparently voting was conducted with about 5 minutes remaining in the game while the North American All-Stars still held the lead  Afterwards the talk in both locker rooms was about the Russian goaltender's play, what it might mean for the upcoming Olympics in two weeks and their disappointment that his 20 save performance didn't win him an honor, which many of them thought was both deserved and obvious 

Uniforms
Continuing from the previous two All-Star Games, the NHL continued to use a color-vs color format  The North American team's jersey was the same shade of blue as the logo of the Eastern Conference, the same shade of blue previously used by the World team in 1998 and 1999; the jersey also featured the first tie-down collar in the All-Star Game since 1970  The World team used the Western Conference's burgundy color, and a unique horizontal-cut collar  Both uniforms featured predominantly black trim with silver and white accents, and a scooped hemline that would become prevalent with the Reebok Edge and Adidas ADIZERO uniform systems  Although the game was hosted by the Kings, the name and number fonts used on the All-Star jerseys were similar to those used by the Nashville Predators 
Due to complaints about the uniforms being too dark and lacking sufficient contrast to each other, the NHL would replace the burgundy jersey with a white one in the next year's game

Accuracy Shooting
The purpose of the event is to hit the four targets attached to the four corners of a goal in the fastest time  Prior to 2011, the object of the event was to hit all four targets in as few attempts as possible  Under this format, seven players have gone four-for-four: Ray Bourque in 1992 and 1993, Mark Messier in 1996, Jeremy Roenick in 2004, Tomas Kaberle in 2008, Evgeni Malkin in 2009, Daniel Sedin in 2011, plus Nazem Kadri, Brock Nelson and twice with Connor McDavid in 2023  Sedin is the current record holder, hitting 4/4 targets in 7 3 seconds  For the 2018 competition, the traditional foam targets were replaced with LED targets that light up to show the player where to shoot the puck next  During the 2019 Skills Competition, the LED light-up targets featured face emojis of four all-star NHL players  The 2020 competition introduced a fifth target in the center of the net, with the targets showing each player's name, team logo, All-Star Game logo, number of All-Star appearances by that player, and uniform number  The 2023 edition reverted to the four foam targets, but also introduced a knock-out style to the competition  As a result, while having the best time of the night, McDavid would ultimately be third in the competition, being beat by Kadri in the semi-finals 

Winners

BB&amp;T Center (Sunrise, Florida)
FLA Live Arena (previously known as the National Car Rental Center, Office Depot Center, BankAtlantic Center, and BB&T Center) is an indoor arena located next to Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise, Florida  It is the home venue for the Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League  It was completed in 1998, at a cost of US$185 million, almost entirely publicly financed, and features 70 suites and 2,623 club seats 

History
In 1992, Wayne Huizenga obtained a new NHL franchise that would eventually become the Florida Panthers  Until the team had an arena of their own, they initially played at the now-demolished Miami Arena, sharing the venue with the NBA's Miami Heat  Sunrise City Manager Pat Salerno made public a $167-million financing and construction plan for a civic center near the Sawgrass Expressway in December 1995, and Broward County approved construction in February 1996  In June 1996, the site was chosen by the Panthers, and in July, Alex Muxo gathered more than a dozen architects, engineers and contractors for the first major design brainstorming session  Architects Ellerbe Becket were given 26 months to build the arena, which had to be ready by August 30, 1998, to accommodate the 1998–99 NHL season  Despite never having designed a facility that had taken less than 31 months from start to finish, they accepted the job 
Seventy suites were completed with wet bars, closed circuit monitors and leather upholstery  Averaging over 650 square feet (60 m2), the suites are the largest in the country for this type of facility  Also home to private lounge box seating, all construction activity was generated by over fifty subcontractors and 2 3 million man hours without a single injury  Known as the Broward County Civic Center during construction, the naming rights were won in July 1998 by National Car Rental — a company purchased by Huizenga in January 1997 — leading to the venue being named the National Car Rental Center  A certificate of occupancy was given on September 12, 1998, and the arena opened on October 3, 1998, with a Celine Dion concert  The next day, Elton John performed, and on October 9, 1998, the Florida Panthers had their first home game at their new arena As NRC's new parent company, ANC Rental, went bankrupt in 2002, the Panthers sought a new sponsor for the arena  It became the Office Depot Center in the summer of 2002  (Office Depot is an office supply retailing company, which is headquartered in nearby Boca Raton ) Just over three years later, the arena's name changed again; it became the BankAtlantic Center on September 6, 2005  (BankAtlantic was headquartered in nearby Fort Lauderdale )
Because BB&T purchased BankAtlantic in July 2012, the arena was rebranded as the BB&T Center The arena is currently the largest in Florida and second-largest in the Southeastern United States, behind Greensboro Coliseum  During the 2011 offseason, the BB&T Center replaced the original green seats in the lower bowl with new red seats, as a part of the Panthers' "We See Red" campaign In October 2012, Sunrise Sports and Entertainment completed installation of the Club Red seating sections encompassing the center ice seats during hockey games  It is an all-inclusive nightclub experience following the trend of other sports and entertainment venues in incorporating high-end seating sections and clubs The ADT Club, located on the club level, offers food and beverage  The Duffy's Sky Club at the BB&T Center encompasses approximately 8,000 square feet (740 m2) and can cater to a maximum of about 500 guests  The Penalty Box offers fans another seating and dining option inside the BB&T Center  The Legends Lounge is a restaurant located on the Lexus Suite Level, and offers sit down service On May 14, 2013, Broward County voted to fund a new scoreboard for the county-owned arena  On October 11, 2013, the scoreboard made its debut for the Panthers' 2013–14 home opener In February 2019, it was announced that BB&T would be merging with SunTrust Banks to form Truist Financial Corporation  The merged company decided to not renew the naming rights agreement after it expired in 2021; the arena will thus have the temporary name of FLA Live Arena until a new rights partner is found

58th National Hockey League All-Star Game
The 2011 National Hockey League All-Star Game (also known as the 2011 National Hockey League All-Star Game presented by Discover) was played on January 30, 2011  The game took place at the RBC Center in Raleigh, home of the Carolina Hurricanes  Originally, the Game was supposed to be hosted by the Phoenix Coyotes, but due to ownership issues, the NHL decided to move the game  After bidding for the game reopened, it was awarded to Carolina and fulfilled a nine-year-old promise made to the franchise by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman 
The 2011 version of the All-Star Game featured a break from the traditional way in which teams were organized  Instead of using conferences or player nationalities as in the past, teams were selected by captains in a fantasy draft days prior to the game  Fans still elected players to the All-Star Game, but instead of the traditional 12 starters (six for each team), they elected only six players, with the remaining 36 players involved in the game selected by the NHL  Sidney Crosby received the most votes of any player, but due to a concussion he was unable to participate in the game  The participating players voted for team captains, selecting Nicklas Lidstrom of the Detroit Red Wings and Eric Staal of the Hurricanes 
Staal won the first pick in the draft and selected longtime teammate Cam Ward, while the Toronto Maple Leafs' Phil Kessel was the last player chosen  The annual SuperSkills Competition was held the night before the Game and featured Alexander Ovechkin winning his third consecutive Breakaway Challenge  In addition, Zdeno Chara broke his own SuperSkills Competition record for hardest shot at 105 9 mph (170 4 km/hr)  Team Staal won the contest 33–22 
Team Lidstrom won the game 11–10, the 21 combined goals was the fourth highest total scored in an NHL All-Star Game  The first Penalty shot in All-Star Game history was called after Ovechkin threw his stick to break-up a Matt Duchene breakaway  Registering one goal and two assists, Patrick Sharp of the losing Team Staal won the Most Valuable Player Award  Jeff Skinner was the youngest player to ever play in an NHL All-Star Game  Shea Weber recorded four assists, making him only the second defenceman to accomplish the feat in one All-Star Game  Fellow defenceman Lidstrom registered a +7 rating, the highest in an All-Star Game since 1991  Winning goaltender Tim Thomas became the first goaltender in NHL history to win three consecutive All-Star Games  This had been the first NHL All-Star Game since the 2009 season, since there wasn't one in 2010 due to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada the first time in an NHL Market 

Background
The 58th National Hockey League All-Star Game was originally scheduled to be hosted by the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing com Arena in Glendale, Arizona  However, due to the ongoing bankruptcy case, potential ownership changes in the Coyotes organization, and the possibility of relocation, the NHL decided to reopen bidding to host the game  In the bidding process, 14 teams made bids for All-Star Games or NHL Drafts for the next three years  Out of all the bids, the NHL chose the Carolina Hurricanes to be the new host team and on April 7, 2010, the announcement was made by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and Hurricanes President and General Manager Jim Rutherford The awarding of the All-Star Game fulfilled a nine-year-old promise Bettman made to the city of Raleigh  In 2001, he promised the organization that they would host an All-Star Game if the season ticket base reached 12,000  After reaching that plateau, Bettman indicated that other community assets were still required to secure a bid  Most notably, a proper convention center for ancillary events was needed, along with a four-star hotel, which was completed in 2009 with the new Raleigh Convention Center and adjoining Raleigh Marriott City Center in downtown Raleigh Three months after receiving the All-Star Game, the Hurricanes unveiled the logo for the 2011 game  The logo was designed with some homage to the host team and city hidden within it  The shape of the logo is similar to the Hurricanes primary logo, along with the team colors of red, black and silver  The banners at the top and bottom of the logo are inspired by the state flag of North Carolina The NHL and the city of Raleigh also presented a three-day festival to coincide with All-Star weekend called NHL All-Star Wide Open  The festivities include a series of free concerts, headlined by the band 3 Doors Down, interactive games and attractions, special appearances, Hockey Hall of Fame trophy and memorabilia displays, pin trading and trading card zones and a street party similar to the city's own annual festival, Raleigh Wide Open  There was also a charity 5K fun run, starting and ending at RBC Center with the Carolina Hurricanes "Kids 'N Community Foundation" being the beneficiary of the raised funds 

New format
On November 10, 2010, the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) unveiled a new format for selecting the NHL All-Star teams: the traditional conference format was replaced by a "fantasy draft " Fans voted for six players, from either conference (three forwards, two defencemen and one goaltender), and the NHL selected another 36 players, for a total of 42 players  The chosen players then appointed two captains; the NHL and NHLPA, with input from the players, named two alternate captains for each team  Each team had two forwards and one defenceman as its captain and alternates  The captains and alternates selected their team members in a fantasy-style draft held on January 28, 2011  The first pick was determined by a coin toss, with alternating picks after the first  Teams consisted of three goaltenders, six defencemen and 12 forwards  Although the draft rules did not dictate a strict order in which positions had to be filled, to guarantee the final picks were not constrained by having to satisfy roster composition rules, the teams' three goaltenders had to be chosen by the end of round ten, and all defencemen had to be chosen by the end of round 15  According to NHL Vice President of Hockey and Business Development Brendan Shanahan, the new format was introduced to add excitement and intrigue into all the events, while make it more fun for everyone involved For 2011, the NHL eliminated the YoungStars Game which had been played in the previous five All-Star weekends  However, rookies were still featured at the Super Skills Competition  A group of 12 Calder Trophy-eligible players were split into two groups of six  At the conclusion of the fantasy draft's 15th round, one rookie was selected from the 12 to choose which team his group would join for the competition This was the first time the traditional "East vs  West" format was not used since 2002, when the World All-Star Team defeated North America 8–5 in Los Angeles 

Uniforms
The All-Star uniforms that debuted in this game featured a unique striping pattern coming from the back of the shoulders going down the arms  As the main stripe crossed below the elbow, it, and the radiating stripes coming from it, switched from the back of the sleeves to the front  The front of the jersey also featured the player's number between the collar and the large NHL crest, an unusual placement for a uniform number  Team Staal wore white uniforms with red trim, while Team Lidstrom wore navy blue uniforms with lighter blue trim  These uniforms would return for the next All-Star Game 

The Guardian Project
During the All-Star weekend, the NHL announced a new "superhero franchise", The Guardian Project  Created by comic book writer Stan Lee, the project featured 30 new superheroes representing the 30 NHL teams, all which were unveiled at the All-Star Game  The goal of the project was to appeal to pre-teen and teenage boys in hopes of bringing in "new audience to the NHL, while engaging the existing, established hockey fan base through a compelling tale of good vs  evil "

Voting
One hundred players were chosen to be on the ballot for the All-Star Game (minimum of two players from each team), but fans were also given the option to write in any player who was not listed  Ballots were all digital for the fourth consecutive time, giving fans the ability to cast votes online at NHL com and Facebook  Votes could also be cast via text messages from mobile devices and Smartphone users could vote by way of a mobile ballot feature  The NHL put no limitation on the number of votes an individual could cast  When fan balloting ended, 14 3 million votes had been cast and the top six were named to the All-Star Game  The six top vote recipients were from only two teams, the Pittsburgh Penguins (4) and Chicago Blackhawks (2)  Individually, Sidney Crosby led all players with 635,509 votes, while teammate Kris Letang was elected as a write-in candidate  The six players elected by the fans are listed below with their vote totals 

Draft
After naming the remaining All-Stars, each player voted for team captains  The players selected the 12-time All-Star, Nicklas Lidstrom, and the captain of the host Carolina Hurricanes, Eric Staal  Lidstrom was assigned the home blue uniforms while Staal received the away whites  The NHL further named their alternate captains, placing Ryan Kesler and Mike Green with Staal while Patrick Kane and Martin St  Louis joined Team Lidstrom  Prior to the draft, the NHL determined head coaches for the teams via a coin toss  Chicago's Joel Quenneville and his assistant, Mike Haviland, were named coaches as a result of winning the Stanley Cup last year  Philadelphia Flyers Head Coach Peter Laviolette and the Vancouver Canucks' Alain Vigneault earned the distinction by having the highest winning percentage through January 8, 2011  After the coin toss, Quenneville was assigned to Team Staal, while Laviolette and Vigneault were given Team Lidstrom Team Staal won the first pick in the draft, and Eric Staal chose longtime teammate Cam Ward with his first pick  With the fifth pick in the draft, Team Staal selected Daniel Sedin  His twin brother Henrik was taken with the next pick by Team Lidstrom  The All-Star Game marked the first time the two have ever played against each other in an organized game  Throughout the draft, Eric Staal selected players that had a personal connection with him  He selected his brother, Rangers defenceman Marc Staal, in the seventh round, fellow Thunder Bay native Patrick Sharp in the eighth round, and teammate Jeff Skinner in the 11th round  The last player selected was Toronto's Phil Kessel  As a reward for being the last selection, he was given a new car and $20,000 was given to the charity of his choice  Kessel stated he would put the money toward a cancer charity he became involved with in 2006 when he was battling testicular cancer  When the time came for the rookies to decide which team they would participate in the skills competition, Taylor Hall, who won the right via a puck flip, chose Team Lidstrom for his group  All players were allowed to wear the numbers they use in their respective teams  For Team Lidstrom, Henrik Sedin and Dustin Byfuglien both wore number 33, while Brad Richards and Steven Stamkos wore number 91  Team Staal had three pairs having same number: Patrick Sharp and Corey Perry with number 10, Daniel Sedin and Dan Boyle with number 22 and Paul Stastny and Patrik Elias with number 26  The complete team rosters are listed below with players appearing in the order in which they were chosen 

Withdrawn
Prior to the draft several players withdrew due to injury or, in the case of Jarome Iginla, family concerns 

SuperSkills Competition
The SuperSkills competition began with the Fastest Skater competition, where the competitors skated one lap around the rink  The winner of each round earned a point for their team  The opening round was skated backwards, followed by each team's rookie representative  Then two goaltenders skated off before returning to the traditional form  Following preliminary rounds the two fastest competitors from each team faced off in a final round, where Michael Grabner defeated Taylor Hall earning two points for Team Staal  The Breakaway Challenge featured six players (three from each team) taking four shoot-out attempts  Fans voted for the winner via text message  The winner earned four points for his team  Second place was awarded three points and third received one point  Alexander Ovechkin won by a wide margin defeating second place P  K  Subban by over 17 percentage points, it was the third consecutive win in the competition by Ovechkin  Loui Eriksson finished third to round out the point earners from the competition  The Shooting Accuracy featured two players shooting targets in the four corners of the net  Winners were determined by the fastest player to hit all four targets  Daniel Sedin hit all four targets on four shots in his first round setting the overall fastest time hitting them all in just 7 3 seconds  He followed that up by hitting four in five shots during the final round to defeat the Blackhawks' Patrick Kane Following Shooting Accuracy, both teams participated in the Skills Challenge Relay  Each team broke into two groups and went through a series of drills designed to showcase players' skills  It started with one timers, then proceeded to passing, where a single player had to complete a pass into six small nets  From there it went to the Puck Control Relay, having a participant skate through a series of cones with a puck  Another player then took on the Stick Handling drill, controlling a puck through a series of stationary pucks  The relay ended when a final player completed the Shooting Accuracy, again hitting all four targets  The two groups from Team Lidstrom finished first and third in the competition, gaining their team a total of five points  During the Hardest Shot competition reigning champion Zdeno Chara was defeated in his preliminary round match up by Shea Weber  In the final round, Chara again matched up with Weber  Chara successfully defended his title by defeating Weber with a shot registering 105 9 mph  The speed set a new SuperSkills record surpassing his own record and marking the fourth time he has won the event  Despite being down by a large margin prior to the Elimination Shootout, Team Lidstrom still had an opportunity to win the contest  Players continued to shoot provided they scored – scoring one point per goal, until only one player remained  However, the shoot-out was won by Team Staal's Corey Perry as he was the only player to score in all three of his attempts  The full results are listed below 

Game play
The scoring started early in the game as Team Staal's Alexander Ovechkin scored the game's first goal in just 50 seconds into the first period  When he took his first shift Jeff Skinner officially became the youngest player to play in an All-Star game (18 years, 259 days) surpassing the mark set in 1984 by Steve Yzerman by eight days  By the time Claude Giroux scored, less than five minutes later, Team Staal had opened up a 4–0 lead  Team Lidstrom's Marc-Andre Fleury allowed the four goals on only nine shots while his counterpart Cam Ward stopped the first four shots he faced  The tide turned a little over halfway through the first period when Anze Kopitar scored on a backhand shot  Team Lidstrom completed the first period comeback with under four minutes left in the period when Eriksson and Matt Duchene scored 23 seconds apart to tie the game at four  Team Lidstrom finished the period scoring on four of their final ten shots Team Staal recaptured the lead early in the second with goals by Patrick Sharp and Kris Letang  They were unable to hold the lead though as Team Lidstrom tied the game at six with a second goal from Kopitar and one by Steven Stamkos  They quickly took their first lead on a goal by Daniel Briere just 1:20 later, ending the period up 7–6 Early in the third period Eric Staal tied the game at seven with his first goal of the game  Minutes later Duchene got a breakaway, but before he could take a shot, Ovechkin threw his stick at the puck, resulting in the first penalty shot in All-Star game history, and only the third penalty assessed during the past ten years of All-Star competition  Duchene took the shot against Henrik Lundqvist, who stopped the attempt  Kris Letang scored shortly after the penalty shot to give back the lead to Team Staal  Briere scored a little over a minute later assisted by Weber and Henrik Sedin to re-tie the game  Weber's assist was his fourth of the game making him the second defenceman in history to record four assists in an All-Star Game (Ray Bourque, 1985)  Team Lidstrom added two more goals before Rick Nash scored to cut the deficit to one  With about a minute and a half left in the game, Team Staal pulled their goaltender for the extra attacker  The decision backfired as Eriksson scored on the empty net with 1:11 remaining  Eric Staal scored with 33 6 seconds remaining to bring his team back within one goal, but they failed to get another shot on goal before time ran out  By coming back from a four-goal deficit to win the game Team Lidstrom set the record for biggest comeback victory in All-Star history  Lidstrom finished the game with a +7 rating, the highest rating since 1991 when Adam Oates was also a +7 for the Wales Conference  Tim Thomas earned the victory becoming the first goaltender to win three straight All-Star Games  Patrick Sharp was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) after registering one goal and two assists in a losing cause for Team Staal  The combined 21 goals was the fourth highest total in NHL All-Star Game history

Plot
Stan Minton (Rob Schneider) is a wealthy real estate con artist, married to Mindy (Jennifer Morrison)  One day, he is arrested for conning elderly people out of their savings  His lawyer Mal (Richard Kind) defends him at the trial presided over by Judge Perry (Richard Riehle) as the forewoman (Sally Kirkland) finds him guilty where the sentencing will be tomorrow 
While talking with Stan, Mal refuses to bribe Judge Perry since he does not practice that kind of law and states to Stan that any shyster on the street would do it for him  Inspired by the bench advertisement outside, Stan fires Mal from the case and hires Lew Popper (M  Emmet Walsh) as a replacement for the sentencing  Judge Perry sentences Stan to 3 years at the Oakfield Correctional Facility while giving him 6 months by Judge Perry to "reorganize the charity" Stan established to teach music to mentally disabled children 
As he can't go on a permanent vacation to Brazil on Lew's advice due to his assets being frozen, Stan gets drunk and visits a biker bar where he has the fear of jailhouse rape instilled in him by a biker ex con (Dan Haggerty) that strains his marriage to Mindy  This leads him to hire the mysterious guru known as "The Master" (David Carradine) who helps transform him into a Martial Arts expert 
During his incarceration, Stan befriends an elderly inmate named Larry (Henry Gibson) who is serving a life sentence for murdering his partner  Stan also befriends a sympathetic prison guard named Bullard (Kevin Gage) and learns more about the cliques and gang activities formed inside the prison  He then uses his new-found skills to bring peace and harmony to the prison yard by intimidating his fellow inmates like Big Raymond (Bob Sapp) into preventing them from harming each other  With this, peace is restored in at Verlaine State Correctional Facility and Stan gains their respect, eventually becoming their leader 
However, the corrupt warden Gasque (Scott Wilson) has plans to force its closure with a riot and sell off the property as valuable real estate  Stan helps him with the real estate aspects in exchange for early parole  However, his peacemaking efforts threaten the warden's plan for a riot and he is persuaded to bring back violence 
In a last minute attack of conscience, he deliberately blows the parole hearing to rush back and prevent the deaths of his fellow inmates only to discover that his message of peace has sunk in and the prisoners are dancing instead of fighting  Warden Gasque orders the guards to open fire on the dancing men  When they refuse, he grabs a gun in front of the Board of Governors and shoots wildly  Warden Gasque attempts to shoot Stan, but he is stopped by Mindy and the Master, who had sneaked in  Stan was surprised that the Master had trained Mindy during his incarceration when he thought they were having an affair during an earlier Conjugal 
Three years later, Stan leaves the prison where Bullard had been sworn in as the new warden of Verlaine State Correctional Facility  Gasque becomes the new inmate following his arrest for his illegal activities as Big Raymond intimidates him to say goodbye to Stan  Lew is also an inmate after he had foreseen that he would be arrested for having slept with a member of the jury and for being a corrupted lawyer  Stan is met by his wife, his young daughter Mindy Jr , and the Master outside the prison  While the Master has become Mindy Jr 's nanny, Stan is annoyed that he has been smoking near her

Brian Orndorf of DVDTalk com called it "a forgettable, unfunny waste of time"  He criticized the "unrelenting" repetition of rape jokes, but believed that Schneider acted the character's fear of rape convincingly

Marginal Tietê
Marginal Tietê (officially SP-015) is a section of this highway that runs through the city of São Paulo, Brazil  The name of this section comes from the fact that each way of the expressway runs near a different waterfront of the Tietê River  It is a very important road of São Paulo, connecting the East, North and West portions of the city, and linking the Lapa neighbourhood and the Penha neighbourhood  It provides access to the Castelo Branco highway, the Bandeirantes highway, the Anhangüera highway, the Presidente Dutra highway, the Fernão Dias highway, the Ayrton Senna highway and the São Paulo International Airport  The Campo de Marte Airport, the Estádio Parque São Jorge and the Estádio do Canindé are located near the freeway 
It is the site where IRL São Paulo Indy 300 race takes place 
Passage 2:
Sault Ste  Marie, Michigan
Sault Ste  Marie ( SOO-saynt-mə-REE) is a city in the Upper Peninsula of the U S  state of Michigan  It is the county seat of Chippewa County and is the only city within the county  With a population of 13,337 at the 2020 census, it is the second-most populated city in the Upper Peninsula, behind Marquette  It is the primary city of the Sault Ste  Marie, MI Micropolitan Statistical Area, which encompasses all of Chippewa County and had a population of 36,785 at the 2020 census  Sault Ste  Marie was settled by Europeans in 1668, making it the oldest city in Michigan Sault Ste  Marie is located along the St  Marys River, which flows from Lake Superior to Lake Huron and forms part of the United States–Canada border  Across the river is the larger Sault Ste  Marie, Ontario, Canada; the two cities are connected by the Sault Ste  Marie International Bridge  Between the two cities are the Soo Locks, a set of locks allowing ship travel between Lake Superior and the Lower Great Lakes         
Sault Ste  Marie is home to Lake Superior State University 

History
For centuries, Oc̣eṭi Ṡakowiƞ (Dakota, Lakota, Nakoda), or Sioux, people lived in the area  Around the 1300s, the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) began to move in from the East Coast, gradually pushing the Oc̣eṭi Ṡakowiƞ westward  They called the area Baawitigong ("at the cascading rapids"), after the rapids of St  Marys River  French colonists renamed the region Saulteaux ("rapids" in French)  The Oc̣eṭi Ṡakowiƞ came to call the Anishinaabe "Ḣaḣaṭuƞwaƞ", or "Dwellers of the Falls "
In 1668, French missionaries Claude Dablon and Jacques Marquette founded a Jesuit mission at this site  Sault Ste  Marie developed as one of oldest European city in the United States west of the Appalachian Mountains, and the oldest permanent European settlement in Michigan  On June 4, 1671, Simon-François Daumont de Saint-Lusson, a colonial agent, was dispatched from Quebec to the distant tribes, proposing a congress of Indian nations at the Falls of St  Mary between Lake Huron and Lake Superior  Trader Nicolas Perrot helped attract the principal chiefs, and representatives of 14 Indigenous nations were invited for the elaborate ceremony  The French officials proclaimed France's appropriation of the immense territory surrounding Lake Superior in the name of King Louis XIV In the 18th century, the settlement became an important center of the fur trade, when it was a post for the British-owned North West Company, based in Montreal  The fur trader John Johnston, a Scots-Irish immigrant from Belfast, was considered the first European settler in 1790  He married a high-ranking Ojibwe woman named Ozhaguscodaywayquay, the daughter of a prominent chief, Waubojeeg  She also became known as Susan Johnston  Their marriage was one of many alliances in the northern areas between high-ranking European traders and Ojibwe  The family was prominent among Native Americans, First Nations, and Europeans from both Canada and the United States  They had eight children who learned fluent Ojibwe, English and French  The Johnstons entertained a variety of trappers, explorers, traders, and government officials, especially during the years before the War of 1812 between Britain and the United States For more than 140 years, the settlement was a single community under French colonial, and later, British colonial rule  After the War of 1812, a US–UK Joint Boundary Commission finally fixed the border in 1817 between the Michigan Territory of the US and the British Province of Upper Canada to follow the river in this area  Whereas traders had formerly moved freely through the whole area, the United States forbade Canadian traders from operating in the United States, which reduced their trade and disrupted the area's economy  The American and Canadian communities of Sault Ste  Marie were each incorporated as independent municipalities toward the end of the 19th century As a result of the fur trade, the settlement attracted Ojibwe and Ottawa, Métis, and ethnic Europeans of various nationalities  It was a two-tiered society, with fur traders (who had capital) and their families and upper-class Ojibwe in the upper echelon  In the aftermath of the War of 1812, however, the community's society changed markedly The U S  built Fort Brady near the settlement, introducing new troops and settlers, mostly Anglo-American  The UK and the US settled on a new northern boundary in 1817, dividing the US and Canada along St  Mary's River  The US prohibited British fur traders from operating in the United States  After completion of the Erie Canal in New York State in 1825 (expanded in 1832), the number of settlers migrating to Ohio and Michigan increased dramatically from New York and New England, bringing with them the Yankee culture of the Northern Tier  Their numbers overwhelmed the cosmopolitan culture of the earlier settlers  They practiced more discrimination against Native Americans and Métis 
The falls proved a choke point for shipping between the Great Lakes  Early ships traveling to and from Lake Superior were portaged around the rapids in a lengthy process (much like moving a house) that could take weeks  Later, only the cargoes were unloaded, hauled around the rapids, and then loaded onto other ships waiting below the rapids  The first American lock, the State Lock, was built in 1855; it was instrumental in improving shipping  The lock has been expanded and improved over the years 
In 1900, Northwestern Leather Company opened a tannery in Sault Ste  Marie  The tannery was founded to process leather for the upper parts of shoes, which was finer than that for soles  After the factory closed in 1958, the property was sold to Filborn Limestone, a subsidiary of Algoma Steel Corporation In March 1938 during the Great Depression, Sophia Nolte Pullar bequeathed $70,000 for construction of the Pullar Community Building, which opened in 1939  This building held an indoor ice rink composed of artificial ice, then a revolutionary concept  The ice rink is still owned by the city 

Meaning of the name
The city name was derived from the French term for the nearby rapids, which were called Les Saults de Sainte Marie  Sainte Marie (Saint Mary) was the name of the river and Saults referred to the rapids 
(The archaic spelling Sault is a relic of the Middle French Period  Latin salta successively became Old French salte (c  800 – c  1340), Middle French sault, and Modern French saut, as in the verb sauter, to jump )
Whereas the modern saut means simply "(a) jump", sault in the 17th century was also applied to cataracts, waterfalls and rapids  This resulted in such place names as Grand Falls/Grand-Sault, and Sault-au-Récollet on the Island of Montreal in Canada; and Sault-Saint-Remy and Sault-Brénaz in France  In contemporary French, the word for "rapids" is rapides 
Sault Sainte-Marie in French means "the Rapids of Saint Mary" (for a more detailed discussion, refer to the Sault Ste  Marie, Ontario page)  The Saint Mary's River runs from Lake Superior to Lake Huron, between what are now the twin border cities on either side 
No hyphens are used in the English spelling, which is otherwise identical to the French, but the pronunciations differ  Anglophones say  and Francophones say [so sɛ̃t maʁi]  In French, the name can be written Sault-Sainte-Marie  On both sides of the border, the towns and the general vicinity are called The Sault (usually pronounced ), or The Soo 

Transportation
The city is home to the northern terminus of Interstate 75 (I-75), which connects with the Mackinac Bridge at St  Ignace approximately 50 miles (80 km) to the south, and continues south to near Miami  M-129 also has its northern terminus in the city  M-129 was at one time a part of the Dixie Highway system, which was intended to connect the northern industrial states with the southern agricultural states  Until 1984 the city was the eastern terminus of the western segment of US 2  County Highway H-63 (or Mackinac Trail) also has its northern terminus in the city and extends south to St  Ignace and follows a route very similar to I-75  The city is joined to its Canadian counterpart by the International Bridge, which connects I-75 in Sault Ste  Marie, Michigan, and Huron Street in Sault Ste  Marie, Ontario  
Commercial airline service is provided to the city by the Chippewa County International Airport in Kinross, about 20 miles (32 km) south of the city  Smaller general aviation aircraft also use the Sault Ste  Marie Municipal Airport about one 1 mile (1 6 km) southwest of downtown 
Sault Ste  Marie was the namesake of the Minneapolis, St  Paul and Sault Ste  Marie Railway, now the Soo Line Railroad, the U S  arm of the Canadian Pacific Railway  This railroad had a bridge parallel to the International Bridge crossing the St  Marys River  The Soo Line has since, through a series of acquisitions and mergers of portions of the system, been split between Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railway (CN)  Canadian National operates the rail lines and the bridge in the Sault Ste  Marie area that were part of the Soo Line 
The Sugar Island Ferry provides automobile and passenger access between Sault Ste  Marie and Sugar Island, formerly a center of maple sugaring  The short route that the ferry travels crosses the shipping channel  Despite the high volume of freighter traffic through the locks, freighters typically do not dock in the Sault  However, the city hosts tugs, a tourist passenger ferry service, and a Coast Guard station along the shoreline on the lower (east) side of the Soo Locks  The United States Postal Service operates a "Marine Post Office", situated within the locks, to service ships as they pass through 
Shipping traffic in the Great Lakes system bypasses the rapids in the St  Marys River via the American Soo Locks  Locally, it is often claimed to be the world's busiest canal in terms of tonnage passing through it  The largest ships are 1,000 feet (300 m) long by 105 feet (32 m) wide  These are domestic carriers (called lakers)  Smaller recreational and tour boats use the Canadian Sault Ste  Marie Canal  The lakers, being too large to transit the Welland Canal that bypasses Niagara Falls, are therefore land-locked  Foreign ships (termed salties) are smaller and can exit the Great Lakes to the St  Lawrence River and the Atlantic Ocean 

Geography and climate
The city is located at 46°49'N 84°35'W 
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has an area of 20 16 square miles (52 21 km2), of which 14 77 square miles (38 25 km2) is land and 5 39 square miles (13 96 km2) is water  The city's downtown is on an island, formed by the Sault Ste  Marie Power Canal to the south and the St  Mary's River and Soo Locks to the north 

Climate
Under the Köppen climate classification, Sault Ste  Marie has a humid continental climate (Dfb) with cold, snowy winters and warm summers  Sault Ste  Marie is one of the snowiest places in Michigan, receiving an average of 120 inches (3 0 m) of snow per winter season, with a record year when 209 inches (5 3 m) fell  62 inches (1 6 m) of snow fell in one five-day snowstorm, including 28 inches (71 cm) in 24 hours, in December 1995   During this time, the city proper experienced a far greater level of snowfall than the farmlands past the canal and riverfront due to lake-effect snow   This caused the 1437th MRBC National Guard local armory to be mobilized for disaster relief in order to remove hundreds of tons of snow which effectively blockaded people within their own homes  Precipitation measured as equivalent rainfall, Sault Ste  Marie receives an annual average of 33 inches (840 mm)  Its immediate region is the cloudiest in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, having over 200 cloudy days a year Temperatures in Sault Ste  Marie have varied between a record low of −36 °F (−38 °C) and a record high of 98 °F (37 °C)  Monthly average temperatures range from 13 °F (−11 °C) in January to 64 °F (18 °C) in July  On average, only two out of every five years reaches 90 °F (32 °C), while there are 85 5 days annually where the high remains at or below freezing and 26 5 nights with a low of 0 °F (−18 °C) or colder 
Average monthly precipitation is lowest in February, and highest in September and October  This autumn maximum in precipitation, unusual for humid continental climates, owes to this area's Great Lakes location  From May through July (usually the year's wettest months in most of the upper Midwestern United States, away from large bodies of water), the lake waters surrounding Sault Ste  Marie are cooler than nearby land areas  This tends to stabilize the atmosphere, suppressing precipitation (especially showers and thunderstorms) somewhat, in May, June and July  In autumn, the lakes are releasing their stored heat from the summer, making them warmer than the surrounding land, and increasingly frequent and strong polar and Arctic air outbreaks pick up warmth and moisture during their over-water passage, resulting in clouds and instability showers  In Sault Ste  Marie, this phenomenon peaks in September and October, making these the wettest months of the year  Also noteworthy is that in Sault Ste  Marie, the year's third wettest month, on average, is November, and not any summer month

H-63 (Michigan county highway)
H-63 is a county-designated highway (CDH) in the Upper Peninsula of the US state of Michigan  The highway parallels the Interstate 75 (I-75) corridor between St  Ignace and Sault Ste  Marie  The road is called Mackinac Trail after the Upper Peninsula branch of an Indian trail used before European settlers reached the area  Originally, the roadway was built as a section of US Highway 2 (US 2) before being added to the CDH system in the 1970s 
H-63 serves as a two-lane alternative to the I-75 freeway across the eastern end of the Upper Peninsula  Between the northern side of St  Ignace, the roadway has connections to two state highways before running concurrently with M-48 near Rudyard  H-63 ends on the south side of Sault Ste  Marie 

Route description
H-63 starts a winding trail at Business Loop I-75 (BL I-75) north of St  Ignace in rural Mackinac County  From there, the highway heads northward towards the Kewadin Casino  The road then passes within viewing distance of I-75 past the Horseshoe Bay Wilderness  As it continues, H-63 has a connection to the southern terminus of M-123 with access to I-75 via a connecting road to M-123  After crossing to the west side of I-75, H-63 has access to I-75 via a connecting road to the western terminus of M-134  The CDH runs to the north and into Chippewa County  As it does so, H-63 turns away from I-75 as the latter curves northeastward  South of Rudyard and into center of the community, H-63 runs concurrently with M-48 for about three miles (4 8 km) From Rudyard northward,  H-63 turns northeasterly toward, and runs parallel to, I-75  At Kinross, there is an interchange between I-75 and M-80; H-63 has a brief concurrency with M-80 so that the latter can connect to all of the ramps in the interchange  The trail then crosses to the eastern side of I-75  Near Dafter, the CDH intersects M-28  Along this section, H-63 is roughly a half mile (0 8 km) away from the I-75 freeway at any given point as it continues northward to the Sault Ste  Marie area  H-63 terminates at its intersection with  Business Spur I-75 (BS I-75) on the south side of the city 

History
The first transportation route in the area was the Mackinac Trail, used by Native Americans before the Europeans arrived in the area; the trail in the area was the Upper Peninsula branch of a longer route that also connected the modern-day Saginaw with Mackinaw City and the Straits of Mackinac  Until 1933, no roadway was built along the path of the Indian trail  After that year, US 2 was rerouted between St  Ignace and Sault Ste  Marie using the modern routing of H-63  This placed the Mackinac Trail on the state trunkline highway system for the first time  In 1962 and 1963, the state transferred the highway to county control when US 2 was rerouted to follow the completed I-75 freeway  With the transfer to local control, Mackinac Trail became a county road  Later, it was given the  H-63 designation after October 5, 1970, as part of the County-Designated Highway System  The designation on the 1971 state map follows the routing used today

County Road 492 (Marquette County, Michigan)
County Road 492 (CR 492, Co  Rd  492) is a primary county road in Marquette County, Michigan  The road serves as an alternate route between Negaunee and Marquette  Several historic sites line the roadway as it runs south and parallel to the main highway, U S  Highway 41 (US 41) and M-28, through the Marquette Iron Range in Michigan's Upper Peninsula  The path of the road runs near tracks of the Lake Superior and Ishpeming Railroad (LS&I)  The locally created Iron Ore Heritage Trail will follow CR 492 through Eagle Mills and Morgan Meadows upon completion  The western terminus of the county road is on US 41/M-28 in Negaunee and the eastern end is in Marquette next to Lake Superior 
CR 492 was previously known as the Marquette–Negaunee Road before it was made a part of the State Trunkline Highway System  It was originally designated as a part of M-15 as early as 1917  The superintendent of the Marquette County Road Commission, Kenneth Ingalls Sawyer, painted the first rural highway centerline on the roadway on Dead Man's Curve  The highway was later a part of M-28 before being transferred back to county control  The highway assumed its current form by 2001  The eastern section along Brookton Road in Marquette Township was redesignated as a county secondary highway when a new connection to US 41/M-28 was opened, and the designation was extended along Wright Street on the west and north sides of Marquette 

Route description
In the city of Negaunee, CR 492 is a part of Maas Street, which runs east–west through town starting at Teal Lake  CR 492 begins at the intersection of Maas Street and US 41/M-28 in Negaunee next to Miners Park  From there, CR 492 passes some businesses near the highway before running through a residential area  East of Woodland Drive, the street runs downhill into a more rural section of town  In this area, the roadway runs through forested terrain parallel to tracks of the LS&I  The road then loops to the north away from the tracks, crossing the Carp River next to the Forge Road intersection  Through this area, the Iron Ore Heritage Trail, a multi-use trail system, was built to follow CR 492, and opened in 2013  Forge Road runs north to the Michigan Iron Industry Museum on the site of the Carp River Forge, the original iron ore forge in the region  Maas Street runs along the south side of the city cemetery  The cemetery main gate is located near the city limits, where Maas Street ends and CR 492 continues into Negaunee Township 

CR 492 intersects M-35 near Eagle Mills Location  M-35 approaches the county road from the north before it turns east to run concurrently with CR 492  The two roadway designations cross a rail track before M-35 separates and turns south; traffic along the state highway must yield the right-of-way to traffic on the county road in the process  Eagle Mills is the location of the main LS&I rail yard and the former Pioneer Pellet Plant, the first such iron ore pelletizing plant in the country  CR 492 curves away from this industrial area to the northeast  The roadway crosses Morgan Creek and enters the Morgan Heights area on the border of Negaunee Township and Marquette Township  This is the site of the first tuberculosis sanatorium in the Upper Peninsula built in 1911; the facility is said to have been haunted before the main buildings were torn down around 2002  The road continues east through forested lands in Marquette Township, rounding Dead Man's Curve and running downhill into the Morgan Meadows area  CR 492 passes a convent of the Sisters of St  Paul de Chartres before entering a residential area  The road curves north past these subdivisions, meeting the western end of CR 500 (Grove Street)  Further north, CR 492 intersects Brookton Road before the western segment terminates at US 41/M-28 in the middle of Marquette Township's commercial corridor 

The county road designation resumes to the west at a roundabout on US 41/M-28 about 1,300 feet (400 m) from the previous intersection  From this location, CR 492 runs northward between several businesses  North of this commercial development, the roadway curves to the northeast to round the northern side of the North Star Academy and merge onto Wright Street  The roadway leaves the commercial corridor and returns to woodland before the intersection with Forestville Road and Commerce Drive  Wright Street curves to the northeast and then the east crossing into the westernmost section of the City of Marquette  As Wright Street continues eastward, it runs through a residential section along part of the city line before completely crossing into Marquette  The roadway passes the Holy Cross Cemetery and the north side of the campus of Northern Michigan University (NMU)  The northern main entrance to campus is located at the intersection with CR 550 (Sugar Loaf Avenue) and Tracy Avenue  Wright Street passes through residential neighborhoods east of CR 550 before meeting Presque Isle Avenue  East of that intersection, CR 492 crosses onto the northern edge of NMU's campus immediately north of the Superior Dome  Wright Street ends as it curves around to the south into a junction with Lakeshore Boulevard at the shore of Lake Superior 

History
The first roadway along the route of the modern CR 492 was a plank road built by the Cleveland and Sharon Iron Companies in the 1850s  The roadway was originally named the Marquette–Negaunee Road, due to its endpoints  The road was included as a section of "Division 8" in the State Trunkline Highway System when that was created on May 13, 1913  In 1917, the first highway centerline in the nation was painted along a section of the road known as "Dead Man's Curve"  The centerline was painted by Kenneth Ingalls Sawyer, long-time superintendent of the county road commission  Traffic along the road was heavy for the era, and along the curves, drivers would follow the innermost side instead of keeping to their own lane  Sawyer added arrows to indicate travel direction and found that motorists used the appropriate travel lanes 

At this time, the road carried an unsigned designation of "Trunk Line 15" (T L  15) as designated by the Michigan State Highway Department (MSHD)  This designation was changed to M-15 by the time the state highway system was signed by MSHD in 1919  With the creation of the United States Highway System on November 11, 1926, M-15 in Michigan was redesignated as a part of the larger US 41  Between Negaunee and Marquette, US 41 was routed north of the Marquette–Negaunee Road, following a section of M-35 out of downtown Negaunee  At the same time, M-28 was extended eastward through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan  Between Negaunee and Marquette, M-28 followed the old routing of M-15  By 1936, M-28 was shifted to follow US 41 between Negaunee and Marquette, transferring the old Marquette–Negaunee Road to county control After this transfer, the roadway carried the CR 492 designation  In 1964, several abandoned underground mine shafts collapsed underneath M-35 in Negaunee, and M-35 was rerouted out of the city along its current roadway through Negaunee Township, connecting with CR 492  The eastern end of CR 492 was moved by 2001  Before this realignment, CR 492 followed Brookton Road, parallel to US 41/M-28 before turning to the previous terminus just west of the border between Marquette Township and the City of Marquette  After the change, CR 492 turned north to intersect the highway opposite of Wright Street  The CR 492 designation was extended along Wright Street at the same time  In 2006, the city of Marquette extended Wright Street to end at Lakeshore Boulevard In 2010, the county road commission built an extension to Commerce Drive across US 41/M-28  This extension was designed to connect the southern and northern segments of CR 492 severed by traffic flow changes along US 41/M-28  Traffic wishing to cross between the two segments needs to follow US 41/M-28 to a median turn around in a maneuver similar to a Michigan left  After the project was completed, motorists gained a second option to cross between the two segments of CR 492 following Brookton Road to the Commerce Drive extension and around the Westwood Mall to Wright Street  This newer connector is designed for 35-mile-per-hour (56 km/h) traffic  The stop light at the US 41/M-28 intersection was installed in early November to complete the project  In August 2010, the speed limits along Wright Street were increased  After the results of a speed study, the limits were increased from 25 and 35 mph (40 and 56 km/h) to 35, 40 and 45 mph (56, 64 and 72 km/h) In 2019, two intersections controlled by stoplights along US 41/M-28 in Marquette Township were rebuilt as roundabouts  The easternmost of the two is located at the southwestern end of the northeastern segment of CR 492

Passage 7:
Saginaw County, Michigan
Saginaw County, officially the County of Saginaw, is a county located in the U S  state of Michigan  As of the 2020 Census, the population was 190,124  The county seat is Saginaw  The county was created by September 10, 1822, and was fully organized on February 9, 1835  The etymology of the county's name is uncertain  It may be derived from Sace-nong or Sak-e-nong (English: Sauk land), as the Sauk (French: Sac) tribe is believed by some to have once lived there  A more likely possibility is that it comes from Ojibwe words meaning "place of the outlet" –sag (English: an opening) and ong (English: place of)  See List of Michigan county name etymologies 
Saginaw County comprises the Saginaw, MI Metropolitan Statistical Area and is included in the Saginaw-Midland-Bay City Combined Statistical Area, the 5th largest metropolitan area in Michigan 

Etymology
The name Saginaw is widely believed to mean "where the Sauk were" in Ojibwe, from Sace-nong or Sak-e-nong (Sauk Town), due to the belief that the Sauk once lived there  But it is more likely that the name means "place of the outlet", from the Ojibwe sag (opening) and ong (place of) When Natives told Samuel de Champlain that the Sauk nation was on the western shore of Lake Michigan, Champlain mistakenly placed them on the western shore of Lake Huron  This mistake was copied on subsequent maps, and future references identified this as the place of the Sauks  Champlain himself never visited what is now Michigan 

History
The area was inhabited from about 1000 B C  to 1000 A D  by the Native American Hopewell culture, followed by the Anishnabeg  Some historians believe that the Sauk at one time lived in the area and were driven out by Ojibwe (Chippewa), before the area was first visited by Europeans 
The Saginaw region includes an extensive network of many rivers and streams which converge into the Saginaw River and provided a means for easy travel for the Native American population among numerous settlements and hunting areas, as well as access to Lake Huron  Saginaw was also a frequent meeting location for councils of the Ojibwe, Pottawatomi, and Ottawa—the Three Fires of the Anishnabeg What is today Saginaw County was inhabited by the Ojibwe at the time of the arrival of Euro-Americans  The Ojibwe were still the dominant force in the area in the 1820s, and in 1827 they were attacked by a two groups of Winnebago people coming from Wisconsin  The Ojibwe prevailed in this fight with the aid of local Euro-American settlers In 1853 the Ojibwe and Ottawa both established large hunting camps along the Saginaw River, although Euro-American settlers were beginning to establish saw mills and farms in the area by that point 

Geography
According to the U S  Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 816 square miles (2,110 km2), of which 800 square miles (2,100 km2) is land and 16 square miles (41 km2) (1 9%) is water   It is part of the Flint/Tri-Cities region of Mid-Michigan  The median elevation in Saginaw County, Michigan is 620 feet (190 m) above sea level

In 2013, Schneider switched political parties from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party, explaining: "The state of California is a mess, and the super majority of Democrats is not working  I've been a lifelong Democrat and I have to switch over because it no longer serves the people of this great state "That same year, Schneider endorsed Republican Assemblyman Tim Donnelly for governor in the election the following year In an interview on Larry King Now in 2017, Schneider said he was an independent but leaned more conservative 

Anti-vaccination activism
Schneider has been an outspoken critic of childhood vaccinations  In an interview with News10 in Sacramento, Schneider opined that "The efficacy of these shots have not been proven     And the toxicity of these things – we're having more and more side effects  We're having more and more autism " Schneider's statements have been discredited as lacking any factual basis  He also views the actions from the state to mandate vaccinations as government overreach Schneider has actively opposed the passage of two California laws, California Assembly Bill 2109 and California Senate Bill 277, which both intended to make childhood vaccination exemptions harder to obtain  On September 28, 2012, Schneider and California State Assemblyman Tim Donnelly spoke at the "Medical Freedom Rally", where they urged California Governor Jerry Brown to veto Assembly Bill 2109, which would have made it more difficult for parents to utilize philosophical reasons for exemptions from mandatory childhood vaccinations  While the bill was not vetoed, Governor Brown added a signing message instructing the Department of Health to add a religious exemption and to make sure the process is not overly burdensome to parents In 2015, Schneider fought against California Senate Bill 277, which removed exemptions to mandatory vaccinations due to personal beliefs, even leaving a phone message to California state Assemblywoman and bill co-author Lorena Gonzalez saying that he would spend money against her in her next re-election  Gonzalez, in an interview with The Washington Times, said that she found the message to be disturbing, but upon calling back, she said, "he was actually much nicer to me, but let's be honest … that is 20 mins of my life I'll never get back arguing that vaccines don't cause autism with Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo  #vaccinateyourkids "

Plot
Deuce Bigalow, an insecure fishtank cleaner, is fired for cleaning the tank at a public aquarium while naked  Deuce is unsuccessful in attracting women, so he attempts to keep himself busy at work  On a house call, he meets the Argentinian male prostitute Antoine Laconte  Antoine is going on a business trip, and so asks Deuce to care for his sick lionfish and protect his home while he is away  Deuce accidentally sets Antoine's kitchen on fire when trying to make a grilled cheese sandwich in the toaster, and breaks an expensive fish tank, causing a lot of water damage 
Fearing Antoine will kill him (Antoine even tells him he will if he messes the place up), Deuce is forced to find a way to pay $6,000 for the damage  Low-rent pimp T J  Hicks offers to help Deuce make enough money to buy a new fish tank, and convinces Deuce to take over the absent Antoine's role as a gigolo  Deuce decides to make the clients feel better about themselves since he only desires to have sex with beautiful women 
Deuce meets unusual clients but he still manages to get along with them, despite there being no sex involved, by helping them with certain issues in their lives  The clients include Carol, a woman who is severely narcoleptic; Ruth, who has Tourette syndrome with coprolalia, and therefore is afraid of socializing; Fluisa, a mannish obese woman weighing close to 750 pounds; and Tina, a woman that has a pituitary gland disorder and is extremely tall  Deuce's list of clients gradually increases, with each client being satisfied by much more fulfilling measures due to his personal attention and friendship  However, Deuce falls in love with one of his clients, Kate, who has a prosthetic leg  She later breaks up with Deuce when she finds out that he was a prostitute hired by her friends 
Meanwhile, Deuce is being stalked by Detective Chuck Fowler, who demands Antoine's "black book" of clients and threatens to take Deuce to jail if he does not comply  Deuce eventually helps Fowler please his wife by stripping and erotically dancing for her, and the two make amends  Deuce is still taken into custody on prostitution charges, as Fowler needs someone to bring in and Deuce refuses to betray his friend T J  At the hearing, it is revealed that Deuce never slept with any of the clients except for Kate  Since Deuce gave back the money to Kate and was not paid for sex with her, he is cleared of all charges 
Using the money he made, Deuce restores Antoine's fish tank, although due to time constraints, he is warned that the glass may not be installed properly  Unfortunately, Kate's blind roommate accidentally kills the prize fish in Antoine's aquarium when she starts the mixer in which the fish was being kept  Deuce buys a replacement fish and returns to Antoine's house just before he returns  Antoine taps the new aquarium and the glass shatters  Deuce then reveals his prostituting adventures to the furious Antoine  Enraged, Antoine tries to kill Deuce and at one point shoots a crossbow bolt at him  Fluisa shows up, comes between the two men, and saves Deuce's life (she is not killed because the bolt hits her breasts, between which she has hidden a roast chicken)  Antoine is then arrested by Detective Fowler and Deuce marries Kate 
The end sequences then follow  Deuce's father becomes a male prostitute  Fluisa underwent extensive liposuction and became a model in Victoria's Secret known as Naomi  Ruth opens up an all-girls school for people with Tourette's  Carol manages to fulfill her dream trip to France and dies falling off the Eiffel Tower  T J  starts his own reality show dedicated to his experiences as a male prostitute  An incarcerated Antoine marries Tina
