MOSCOW -- The Winter Olympics in Sochi posted a provisional surplus of $261 million, Russian organizers said Thursday. The figure is $119 million higher than a previous profit figure reported in April, but is still dwarfed by the government subsidies given to the organizing committee, valued at $420 million in December. The Sochi organizing committee said its projected surplus is a record for any games. The 1984 Los Angeles Olympics produced a surplus of $232 million. The 2008 Beijing Games claimed a profit of over $146 million, while the 2012 London Olympics recorded an $8 million surplus. The surplus is only from the Sochi organizing committee, which had an operations budget of about $2 billion. It does not cover any construction or infrastructure costs. Russias overall spending for the games totalled $51 billion. Sochi organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said in a statement that all the profit would be "oriented towards the development of sport in Russia," with plans to provide "a significant sum" to Paralympic sports from the profits, plus a lump sum of $17.5 million. The organizing committee promised final results by the end of the year, by which time it expects to wind up its operations and be dissolved. As well as government subsidies, the organizing committee also earned money from merchandizing, ticket sales and sponsorships, including from Russian state-owned companies.

Bobby Clarke Jersey . There was little fanfare, though, when the Yankees captain was taken out of his final regular-season Subway Series game in the eighth inning. Jeter watched the last four outs from the bench, pulled off the field during a double switch Thursday night as the Yankees held off the Mets 1-0.Ravaged by health issues, the Anaheim Ducks havent let that stop them from surging into the NHL lead. A victory over the Edmonton Oilers in their last game allowed them to pad that advantage, and theyll look to keep rolling when they close out this home-and-home series at Rexall Place on Friday night. The Ducks (19-6-5) have already lost 192 man-games to injury - and the mumps - with a quarter of their opening-night roster on the injured list. That includes top-line forward Corey Perry, out until January with a sprained knee. It hasnt prevented Anaheim from winning five in a row to give it the best record in the league. We have a lot of good players on this team, and experience makes players better, center Ryan Kesler said. When guys go down, guys have opportunities, and they make the most of it. We dont let much define us in here when we deal with adversity - or the mumps. Anaheims depth has been the difference - as has its ability to come out on top in close games. The Ducks last 12 victories have come by one goal. Matt Beleskey and Kesler scored and Frederik Andersen made 21 saves to lift the Ducks to a 2-1 victory over the Oilers (7-17-5) on Wednesday. Anaheim dominated play in the first two periods, outshooting Edmonton 27-14 and 34-22 for the game. I think if you want to win championships, you have to be a good defensive team and you have to win close games, defenseman Hampus Lindholm said. We can always be better, but we did enough to get a win. Kesler has four goals and an assist in the past three games, while Beleskeys goal gave him seven in his last 11. Anaheim plays its next five on the road in a stretch that will make it seven away games in an eight-game span. The Ducks are 9-3-2 on the road, where theyve won three of four. Theyve aalso gone 18-3-1 in the last 22 meetings with Edmonton, which is 1-9-4 in its previous 14 overall.dddddddddddd Not helping matters Wednesday was the fact that the Oilers were playing for the second straight night and third time in four days against a Ducks team that had been off since Sunday. We played a good road game, former Anaheim goaltender Viktor Fasth said. (Andersen) was good in net at the other end, but I still think we could have a little more traffic in front of him and make it harder for him. ... Its small things, and we have to look at those small details to become better. Weve got to start winning. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored early in the third period to cut Anaheims lead to one, but Edmonton managed two or fewer goals for the ninth time in 10 games. The clubs 63 goals are the fewest in the Western Conference. Its frustrating for everyone, coach Dallas Eakins told the teams official website. Weve got some guys who have proven they can put the puck in the net, and for whatever reason were just having trouble getting it in there right now. Its something you have to be extremely patient for. It eventually turns, but we need eventually to be now. Fasth made 34 saves in a strong performance and is likely to start again Friday. Though Anaheim has dominated this series in recent years, the Oilers won both meetings in Edmonton last season, scoring four goals each time.
