The quadruple screen test is a blood test done during pregnancy to determine whether the baby is at risk for certain birth defects.
Quad screen; Multiple marker screening; AFP plus; Triple screen test; AFP maternal; MSAFP; 4-marker screen
This test is most often done between the 15th and 22nd weeks of the pregnancy. It is most accurate between the 16th and 18th weeks.
A blood sample is taken and sent to the lab for testing.
The test measures levels of four pregnancy hormones:
If the test does not measure levels of inhibin A, it is called the triple screen test.
To determine the chance of your baby having a birth defect, the test also factors in:
No special steps are needed to prepare for the test.
You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted. You may also feel some throbbing at the site after the blood is drawn.
The test is done to find out if your baby might be at risk for certain birth defects, such as Down syndrome and birth defects of the spinal column and brain (called neural tube defects). This test is a screening test, so it does diagnose problems.
Certain women are at greater risk for having a baby with these defects, including:
Normal levels of AFP, hCG, uE3, and inhibin A.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your health care provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
An abnormal test result does NOT mean that your baby definitely has a birth defect. Often, the results can be abnormal if your baby is older or younger than your doctor or nurse had thought.
If you have an abnormal result, you will have another ultrasound to check the age of the developing baby.
More tests and counseling may be recommended if the ultrasound shows a problem. However, some people choose not to have any more tests done, for personal or religious reasons. Possible next steps include:
During pregnancy, increased levels of AFP may be due to a problem with the developing baby, including:
High AFP can also mean that you're carrying more than one baby.
Low levels of AFP and estriol and high levels of hCG and inhibin A may be due to a problem such as:
The quadruple screen can have false-negative and false-positive results (although it is slightly more accurate than the triple screen). More tests are needed to confirm an abnormal result.
If the test is abnormal, you may want to talk to a genetic counselor.

Recent Carabiner/Quickdraw Reviews
DMM Revolver Screwgate
Great little pulley biner combo. The revolver is a great piece of kit for top roping and glacier travel. It cuts down on rope drag, and it is essentially a built-in pulley, which gives you a huge mechanical advantage especially as a secondary part to crevasse rescue kit. Only complaint is that it won't work with a Petzl Tibloc. Prussicks seem to go fine. Very durable and while the gate opening is a bit narrow, it is easy enough to figure out. Full review
Petzl Ange Finesse S & L Quickdraws
This is a great and lightweight quickdraw for sport climbers. Clipping in and cleaning these draws is a breeze. Highly recommended. I have been using these draws for about four months now and they have never let me down. Compared to my other draws, climbing with these you hardly feel their weight and are extremely easy to clip. Well made draw that is very durable and will last a very long time. Full review
Black Diamond Oval Wire Carabiner
Caution: I DON'T CLIMB. So if you're looking for a review of this product based on its use as a climbing accessory, you won't find it here. I bought these carabiners for use as an accessory biner. They only cost a couple dollars more than the cheap accessory biners, so I thought the extra $ was worth it to know that I'll probably never come up with a way to destroy them. I recommend these for use as a general use biner for attaching things to your pack or belt, and for making a simple pulley system… Full review
Petzl Spirit Express
Carabiner does not snag rope or bolt when clipping due to closing structure. The webbing is thick and has a rubber piece on the "rope end" of the draw to prevent twisting. Best for sport climbing (of course!). A little more expensive than most draws though but quality seems very high. Everything on this product works the way it should. The material feels to be top-quality. The only downside is that a rack of 6 can cost over 100. Most racks of 6 quickdraws are much less expensive. I have had these… Full review
Black Diamond HotWire
A good, basic carabiner. I think of these as a lighter replacement for my old standard ovals or Ds, primarily for long slings. These have a good feel. A good all purpose carabiner. Full review
Black Diamond Posiwire Quickdraw
Easy clipping and an extremely reliable draw. What more is there to say? The fact that draws have very minimal moving parts makes for a reliable piece of equipment, but a piece of equipment that is so important that it must be made well enough to not fail on you. I can say that I have yet to have a problem with these draws. I used to use Petzl Spirits but saw a set of these for a sweet price and decided to go for it. I do not regret that decision. The Posiwires are now my go to draw! Black Diamond… Full review
Black Diamond Magnetron RockLock
Large auto locking carabiner. Not worth this girl's money. I purchased this biner because of its size and the magnetic catch. I like a larger biner for a double line munter (as a backup plan in case something goes wrong with my Reverso). I thought it may pose a problem for ice but that was not the issue. The magnetic catch is not an ergonomic fit for me. I have small to medium woman's hands and when I reach for release it is just out of my grasp. Only by millimetres! What a pain in the butt! I then… Full review
Simond Spider Screwgate
Lightweight, excellent screwgate locker that has a perfectly shaped nose to make clipping extremely easy. The best locking beiner for personal anchor systems at the top of a long difficult route. This carabiner is the best I have used to attach a personal anchor system at the top of a route. The nose is shaped in a way that it is quite open (bent out) compared to other screwgate lockers, so clipping is extremely easy. The diameter of the carabiner is around a medium sized thickness. Since the… Full review
Metolius Element Belay Carabiner
*Dislike. I marked this biner, used it once, and retired it to the shelf. Thankfully, I only bought one. The gate takes too many spins and it doesn't spin freely. Full review

How to build a shed base
A firm, level base should be the starting point for any shed or garden building. Without this the structure is likely to be assembled improperly - screw holes will not line up correctly, doors may not fit their doorways and the quality and service life of your shed could be greatly reduced.

Iran and six world powers have agreed to a historic deal to dial back Iran's nuclear program. Get up to speed on key points of the deal.
What's the agreement that was reached? It's more of an interim agreement before the deal. Described as an initial, six-month deal, the White House says it includes "substantial limitations that will help prevent Iran from creating a nuclear weapon." In short, it slows the country's nuclear development program in exchange for lifting some sanctions while a more formal agreement is worked out.
If it's not permanent, why is it a big deal? For years, Iran and Western powers have left negotiating tables in disagreement, frustration and open animosity. But the diplomatic tone changed after Iran's election this year, which saw President Hassan Rouhani take over. For the first time in nearly a decade, we have halted the progress of the Iranian nuclear program," U.S. President Barack Obama says.
What about the stockpiles Iran already has? As part of the deal, Iran will be required to dilute its stockpile of uranium that had been enriched to 20 percent. The deal also mandates Iran halt all enrichment above 5 percent and dismantle the technical equipment required to do that. Before the end of the initial phase of the deal, all its stockpiles should be diluted below 5 percent or converted to a form not suitable for further enrichment, the deal states.
Why 5 percent? Iran consistently says it's enriching uranium and building nuclear reactors only for peaceful civilian energy needs. Nuclear power plants use uranium that is enriched to 5 percent. It's the fuel that the plants use to generate electricity.
What else will Iran have to do? Iran would also have to cut back on constructing new centrifuges (the mechanism used to enrich uranium) and enrichment facilities, and freeze essential work on its heavy-water reactor under development at Arak. That facility could be used as a source of plutonium -- a second pathway to a nuclear bomb. The reactor under construction southwest of Tehran had been a sticking point in earlier negotiations.
What's not in the deal? A better deal would have included Iranians shipping out their highly enriched uranium to be converted elsewhere, says Aaron David Miller, vice president of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. "It would have been better ... if Iran had much more of their nuclear infrastructure put out of use. But that's the deal they got."
How will we know Iran is living up to its end of the deal? Iran is expected to provide daily access to inspectors from the international agency, IAEA. The inspectors will be expected to visit centrifuge assembly and storage facilities, uranium mills and the Arak reactor, among others. The P5+1 and Iran will also form a joint task force on the issue.
What if it doesn't fulfill its commitment? The international community will add more sanctions -- and pressure.
What is the 'P5+1'? The group of six world powers that participated in talks with Iran. The P5+1 group comprises diplomats from the U.S., UK, France, Russia, China and Germany. The group has been meeting in Geneva for days in hopes of reaching a diplomatic solution.
What's in it for Iran? Billions of dollars. As part of preliminary steps, the world powers involved in the talks will provide "limited, temporary, targeted, and reversible relief to Iran." The deal calls for no new nuclear-related sanctions in the six-month period if Iran keeps its end of the bargain. The world powers will also suspend sanctions on various items, including gold and petrochemical exports.
How did the sanctions come to be? Seven years ago, the U.N. Security Council passed sanctions against Iran for failing to suspend its nuclear program. Sanctions that initially targeted Iran's nuclear capability expanded to include bans on arms sales, Iranian oil and certain financial institutions, including the country's central bank. This has crippled its economy and made Iran a pariah in the international community. Oil revenues have plummeted, and the local currency had dropped 80 percent in value by 2012. Iranians have faced spiraling inflation and layoffs.
Why isn't Israel applauding the deal? The two neighbors and archrivals have been at each other's throats for years. Israel says it has the most to lose if Iran develops a nuclear bomb. It has repeatedly warned the West to tread warily when dealing with Tehran. And Israeli lawmakers are not happy that their greatest ally, the United States, has disregarded their warning and struck an interim deal with Iran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the agreement a "historic mistake" that his country isn't bound by.
Why is there so much tension between Iran and Israel? After the birth of Israel in 1948, the two nations enjoyed a "honeymoon" that lasted until just before the 1979 revolution, says David Menashri, professor emeritus of Tel Aviv University. But the Islamic revolution that overthrew the Shah marked a turning point. The Islamic republic, led by Shiite clerics, saw Israel as an illegitimate state with no right to exist. Years later, Israel began to regard Iran and its support of global terror as a chief threat. Those concerns escalated when international inspectors found traces of highly enriched uranium at a power plant in Iran.
Which other countries are unhappy? Saudi Arabia. It's a majority Sunni country. Iran is majority Shiite. Saudi Arabia, like Israel, is troubled by Iran's growing clout in the Middle East. "The Saudi government has been very concerned about these negotiations with Iran and unhappy at the prospect of a deal with Iran," a Saudi government official who is not authorized to speak to the media told CNN.
What does Congress think? Members of both parties of Congress were also skeptical. On the Republican side, Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep. Mike Rogers both thought the deal set a bad precedent, while Sen. John Cornyn argued the administration was desperately trying to distract from the rollout of Healthcare.gov. Sen. Chuck Schumer, an important Democratic voice on Iran, said the deal disproportionately favors Iran, and he predicted bipartisan support in Congress for new sanctions.
How did Iran's nuclear program start? The United States launched a nuclear program with Iran in 1957. Back then, the Shah ruled Iran and the two countries were still friends. With backing from the United States, Iran started developing its nuclear power program in the 1970s. But the U.S. pulled its support when the Shah was overthrown during the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
Is Iran the only nation with a nuclear program? No. Eight nations are known to have nuclear weapons, including all the P5+1 countries, except for Germany. Iran's neighbor, Israel, has always declined to confirm whether it has any, although the Federation of American Scientists estimates it has about 80 atomic weapons. But since the 1979 revolution, concerns have escalated that Iran could enrich uranium and make atomic weapons. Iran has maintained its nuclear program is only for peaceful purposes.
Why have the other nations not faced as much scrutiny? For nations such as India and Pakistan, no action was taken partly because they never signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. "There was very little that the U.S. could've done to stop Pakistan," says Mark Hibbs, a nuclear policy expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Iran, on the other hand, signed the treaty. And as a result, its program was put under the spotlight. In addition, the International Atomic Energy Agency had information suggesting Iran conducted activities it hasn't declared in the past.
Why is Iran's nuclear program considered such a threat? Since its revolution, the West has worried Iran could use its nuclear program to produce atomic weapons using highly-enriched uranium. A decade ago, nuclear inspectors from the international agency announced they had found traces of highly-enriched uranium at a plant in Natanz. Iran temporarily halted enrichment, but resumed enriching again in 2006, insisting enrichment was allowed under its agreement with the IAEA.
Will this interim deal work? There are no perfect agreements. And the success of any interim deal will be measured "in months and years, not in minutes," says Karim Sadjadpour of the Carnegie Endowment. Whether Iran is serious about mothballing its nuclear ambitions remains to be seen. There may be sizable obstacles that aren't yet apparent. There are certainly aspects where the deal stopped short. That waits to be seen. For now, Miller says, don't break open the champagne bottles just yet.

My proposal for the DREAM Center logo is a star made up of many colorful circles. The idea was to ensure that the logo looked cheerful with the colored circles depicting the many creative dreams, hopes and wishes that children across the world have.
The colored circles come together to form a star that brings in a dreamy quality that works well for the logo. It also has a magical (a sprinkle of magic dust to form the star) quality to it that will hopefully appeal to children
The simple rounded forms of the type compliments the colored circles perfectly.
A few possible uses of the logo are included here.

TSA: America's Morality Police
"The TSA has a new mission, apparently: to make sure young women are wearing appropriately modest attire."
"Here's what happened, as my daughter described it in text messages to us: she was at the station where the TSA checks IDs. She said the officer was "glaring" at her and mumbling. She said, "Excuse me?" and he said, "You're only 15, COVER YOURSELF!" in a hostile tone. She said she was shaken up by his abusive manner."
And I thought TSA was suppose to be protecting us from terrorist but it turns out that TSA and its 65,000 strong corps of Morality Police employees are the terrorists.
If there was not good reason to correct the mistake that is TSA I think this case tips the scale and proves TSA is not an organization that embraces the United States Constitution.

Clearly a failed policy that does nothing to keep anyone safe. If the parents are truly up to no good how does giving one a pat down prove anything? If the man had a bomb on him he'd have volunteered his wife for the pat down (file that under things not to say at the airport). Either the item is dangerous or it's not. Nitrate swab, even with the high false positive rate, would have been a better indicator than a pat down. If positive opening one at random selected by the screener still would have been safer. If it was only one it might not have to go to waste either depending on feeding time. At best the response is very thinly disguised "Do You Want to Fly Today" in legalese boilerplate. Anyone with half a would brain shake their head. - June 23, 2013 at 9:14 AM

Some of them are there because they actually think they're helping prevent another terrorist attack, but some are there because it pays better than flipping burgers and they can't get jobs elsewhere. Yet others are egotistical maniacs who like the authority it gives them over the travelling public. But nothing they do actually helps protect us from terrorists. Only us refusing to be terrorized does that. - June 28, 2013 at 12:02 AM

Marc Faber: Gold And Silver Won't Collapse... Unless...
CNBC | January 30, 2013
Like Marc says they can't collapse unless there's a huge deflationary collapse OR a bubble bursts, but we know gold isn't in a bubble yet.
How do you know it isn't in a bubble? Tripling in price over just about three years (2008- 2011 went from about $600 to around $1900) cannot be sustained (It seems it has peaked and is now slowly winding back down).
Sharp gains in a short period of time are often indicators of a bubble- especially when the price run- up is significantly faster than rises in other prices.
Definition of 'Speculative Bubble'
A spike in asset values within a particular industry, commodity, or asset class. A speculative bubble is usually caused by exaggerated expectations of future growth, price appreciation, or other events that could cause an increase in asset values. This drives trading volumes higher, and as more investors rally around the heightened expectation, buyers outnumber sellers, pushing prices beyond what an objective analysis of intrinsic value would suggest.

Compare the gold chart to housing prices during their bubble:
I am Zippy and I approve of this message. But you don't have to.
The housing prices was due to a credit bubble, gold prices are tied to the floating fiat value of the FRN. Has gold production expanded where its supply is greater than demand? Maybe the paper has but with the other countries wanting their reserves back it does not seem to be the case. Turn the gold chart upside down and it looks like the Dollar index chart here.
More Government = Less Freedom
Communism never disappeared it only changed its name to Social Democrat

The gains in the price of gold outpaced both the rise in prices of other goods and commodities as well as the decline in the value of the dollar. Very indicative of bubble activity. But it won't necessarily pop as dramatically as the housing bubble did. The last gold bubble (which peaked in 1980) took 20 years to wind down. The current peak has been $1900. It is down about 15% from that.

I am Zippy and I approve of this message. But you don't have to.
I am not sure of this, but I think the invention of Mortgage Backed Securities played a huge role in the run up in home prices since it essentially supplied unlimited money to that sector. Gold also started shooting up with the formation of funds/stocks/ETF's that allowed the average person to invest in it and not have to buy physical - also directing large sums into it. Read an article on that sometime back.
I will bet that it will either go up or down in the coming months...
Probably right there.I will bet that it will either go up or down in the coming months...

Okay, I'm just going to ask a simple question. Can you show me a historical example of a bubble where its price plateaud just 10-20% below its peak for one and a half year after reaching that ultimate peak?
I have searched but i have not found. Look at Apple, within months its down 35%. Microsoft, nasdaq, gold and silver in the 80's. All crashed way further than gold has done now within the year of reaching its peak.

Yeah, Zippyjuan's eternal attempt of playing contrarian leaves him to be senseless sometimes. Bubbles burst and decline rapidly due to leveraged speculative buyers becoming sellers. Gold liquidating 15% over the course of almost 2 years isn't a bubble popping. Checkout the Dow's decline in 2008/09. Japan in 1989. NASDAQ in 2000.
Zippy, pull up a chart of the Dollar. Let me know what you find.
Interest rates going up will have a dramatic effect on metals...people will want the interest instead of the store of current wealth.
Only if real interest rates increase faster than inflation and reflect rational (market) time preferences. If inflation is 10% and interest rates are 10%, people will look elsewhere instead of at debt markets, which are already in bubblemania. How did this bond bubble begin? 30 years ago with 20% nominal interest rates. We're years from a Paul Volker ever coming about, and if rates did move even modestly to 5 or 6%, the U.S. government would be in crisis territory. Debt service would consume most of the budget, and banks would be collapsing as their capitalization rates would plummet.
If Treasuries are tanking, what interest bearing securities would people be lured into? Corporations issuing 10% or 15% annual coupon payments? No company (or I should say, very few) would be going into the market to borrow money at those rates. Imagine how terrible of an environment it would be if we fast forward to that? If many corporations aren't borrowing today at record low rates and instead are holding onto hoards of cash, why would a lightbulb go off for them to borrow when rates are 5-10 times higher than they are today?
Warren Buffett became as rich as he is with about a 21% compound annual return. So, if a company would be looking at a cost of capital of 15 or 20%, they'd need to invest in a Warren Buffett project in order for the investment to make sense. How many projects of those are there? That could be one of the reasons why cash on balance sheets are at levels they are at today. If an average joe borrowing at 12% on his credit card is a stupid idea, it would be difficult for a corporation to justify it as well--especially given the lack of opportunities that would be present in such an environment where the US government is either defaulting, restructuring, or resorting to more inflation.
As much as the government does need to go through that phase of deleveraging, it would have a dramatic impact on the economy. With how much the US government is involved in our lives today--even a simple drawdown of its current levels to a 2006-level-of-government would tank the markets--because government has grown exponentially. As a result, many corporations are dependent upon government funding or relationships in some form or fashion. If interest rates were 10%, I'm not so sure people would be jumping out of gold and into debt again--especially given how we're at the end of a massive debt supercycle that's been around for decades. No one will want government bonds at 10% because at that point, the US Government will have no way of paying those rates. Greece's 2 year was yielding 800% at one point in 2011, but that didn't draw people to the market.
At some point, gold will be at bubble stages. At some point, other investments will be far more attractive. But that some point is some time off, given what's in front of us: a massively leveraged US government, consumer, and banking system.

Objectivity is a central philosophical concept which has been variously defined by sources. A proposition is generally considered to be objectively true when its truth conditions are met and are "mind-independent"—that is, not met by the judgment of a conscious entity or subject.
Truth is isomorphic to the reality of the situation.
Correspondence theory says that true beliefs and statements correspond to the actual state of affairs. This appears to say that if a thing is true then it corresponds exactly to the actual state, or condition of the reality in question. Language statements are references through linguistic generalizations , where such generalizations may be interpreted metaphorically as being applicable to many similar situations, things, or objects.
Coherence theory seems to require the holistic approach that differing attributes of the whole system are interrelated and interdependent. the whole is greater than its parts in that dna elementals apply as identity structures in an inclusive set theoretic relationship. In that respect cats are dogs only in that cats are mammals and dogs are mammals but they are not exactly equivalent.
Consensus theory is truth that is agreed upon by many beings in a group situation. consensus truth might not be the actual truth though. Consensus can be dangerous in my opinion, yes.
The wikipedia article on truth is huge
Contingent truths are truths that are true for a specific possibility.
Necessary truths are truths that hold for all possible worlds, where we can understand the idea "possible world" to be a hypothetical situation or universe.
"I eat breakfast every morning" is a contingent truth that applies to a specific world.
"Square circles do not exist" is a necessary truth that applies to all possible worlds, if we mean they do not exist in Euclidean 2 dimensional space.
The truth shall set you free in that knowledge of truth builds strength of character, which will mean more freedom as a strong personality sees more options in life ...possibly
There are some philosophies that say "nothing matters" "life is hopeless" "there is no purpose" etc.
These philosophies cannot be universal as they are highly subjective, and therefore contingent, in character.
I started this thread in the hopes that it will be troll free. It is beyond my power to stop trolls, so I can only hope

Current Time
see + do
France see + do
Planning a trip to France? Whether you're a gourmand or a history buff, a sun seeker or a shopper, everything in this country seems to derive from or end up in Paris. It's the starting point for most trips, and with its world-class museums, ever-renewing neighborhoods, and cavalcade of classic and new restaurants, it'd be easy to spend your whole trip there. However, the rest of France provides an equally staggering embarrassment of riches. Hop a train south to Provence where Roman ruins sit among medieval villages and pine-covered mountains, and the Côte d'Azur, where celebs and socialites pack sunny beaches and swanky nightclubs.
Art lovers will want to reserve significant time for classics like the Louvre, Musée Rodin, and Musée d'Orsay in Paris, and then head to the many small Impressionist museums in Provence and along the coast. For architectural grandeur, explore the Gothic cathedrals in Reims, the Champagne region, and Normandy, as well as Paris's Notre-Dame, Sainte-Chapelle, and Saint-Eustache. Or head to the Loire Valley to tour (or spend the night in) the region's grand châteaux. And if you'd rather a feast for your stomach than your eyes, head to Lyon, the center of France's butter-and-cream culinary culture, or to Bordeaux, a revitalized city at the center of one of the world's most prestigious wine-growing regions. Any short visit will tend to excess, mais c'est la vie.

BLACKHAWKS (31-5-4) at BLUES (23-15-2)
Last 10: Chicago 7-2-1; St. Louis 6-4-0
Season series: The Chicago Blackhawks won the first two meetings of the season in January before the St. Louis Blues snared a shootout victory April 4. These two teams also meet again on the final day of the regular season (April 27).
Big story: The Blues need this one far more than the Blackhawks, as goaltender Brian Elliott looks to continue his shutout streak and help St. Louis reach the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Team scope
Blackhawks: Chicago had lost three of four before a Sunday game two weeks ago at Detroit. The Blackhawks won that game 7-1, and now have at least one point in seven straight contests (6-0-1).
The Blackhawks held a seven-point lead on the Anaheim Ducks for the top seed in the Western Conference and a four-point advantage on the Pittsburgh Penguins for the Presidents' Trophy. Chicago also has a game in hand on both.
Blues: St. Louis lost four of five to close the month of March and the Blues appeared to be slipping from their place inside the top eight in the West. They rolled off six straight victories to start April though, and given the bunched-up nature of the standings were making a push for the fourth seed. They are still five points ahead of the teams tied for ninth place after a loss to Columbus on Friday, but even short losing streaks can cause serious damage at this point.
Elliott will back in net for the Blues after taking a night off. He had three straight shutouts before that, and his shutout streak is currently at 189 minutes and 29 seconds.
Who's hot: St. Louis isn't the only team with a hot goaltender in this contest. Ray Emery is 15-1-0 this season for the Blackhawks, including three shutouts in his past five starts. Elliott hasn't allowed a goal since the third period of a 4-3 shootout victory April 4 against these Blackhawks. He's turned aside 66 shots in the past three games.
Injury report: Chicago coach Joel Quenneville told reporters he is "hopeful" center Dave Bolland can return against the Blues after missing the past four games with a lower-body injury. St. Louis will be without goaltender Jaroslav Halak (lower body), while forwards T.J. Oshie (lower body) and Scott Nichol (lower body) are questionable.
Brian Elliott has won five consecutive games, including one against Chicago on April 4.
Elliott has a shutout streak of 189:29 entering the game. His all-time best was set last season and is a Blues' record at 241:33.
Ken Hitchcock's next win will be No. 600 behind the bench, placing him 11th all-time among NHL coaches.
Andy McDonald has five goals in his last five games against Chicago.
Jay Bouwmeester has two goals and an assist in his last four games vs. Chicago.
