Krause, Neal. 2004. "Religion, aging, and health: Exploring new frontiers in medical care." Southern Medical Journal, 97(12): 1215-1222.
The purpose of this review article is to selectively examine research that was designed to evaluate the relation between religious involvement and health among older people. Four facets of religion are examined in detail: church-based social support, religious coping, forgiveness, and prayer. In addition, potential negative effects of religion on health are discussed. Negative interaction in the church as well as religious doubt are evaluated in this respect. Throughout, an effort is made to show how current research on religion and health may be used to provide more comprehensive care for our aging population.

Associated Press
ZAATARI, Jordan (AP) -- Walk among the plastic tents in one corner of this sprawling, dust-swept desert camp packed with Syrian refugees, and a young woman in a white headscarf signals.
"Come in, you'll have a good time," suggests Nada, 19, who escaped from the southern border town of Daraa into Jordan several months ago. Her father, sporting a salt-and-pepper beard and a traditional red-checkered headscarf, sits outside under the scorching sun, watching silently.
Nada prices her body at $7, negotiable. She says she averages $70 a day.
Several tents away, a clean-shaven, tattooed young Syrian man, who says he was a barber back in the city of Idlib, offers his wife. "You can have her all day for $70," he promises. He says he never imagined he would be selling his own wife, but he needs to send money back to his parents and in-laws in Syria, about $200 a month.
As the flow of Syrian refugees into neighboring Jordan is sharply increasing, so is their desperation. With Syria torn apart by civil war and its economy deeply damaged, the total number of people who have fled and are seeking aid has now passed a million, the United Nations said this week. More than 418,000 of the refugees are in Jordan, which recorded about 50,000 new arrivals in February alone, the highest influx to date.
Scores of the Syrian women who escaped to Jordan are turning to prostitution, some forced or sold into it, even by their families. Some women refugees are highly vulnerable to exploitation by pimps or traffickers, particularly since a significant number fled without their husbands -- sometimes with their children -- and have little or no source of income.
Eleven Syrian prostitutes who talked to the AP in the refugee camp, a border town and three Jordanian cities asked to remain anonymous, citing shame and fear of prosecution by police in Jordan. Prostitution in Jordan is illegal and punishable by up to three years in jail, and foreign women and men found guilty can be deported.
The majority of the 11 women say they turned to prostitution out of a desperate need for money.
It's impossible to pin down how many Syrian refugees are now working as prostitutes in Jordan, but their presence is inescapable. Syrian women outnumbered those from any other country in several brothels, and in a couple of cases, virtually all the prostitutes were Syrian. Pimps say they have more women who are Syrian than of other nationalities.
The influx of Syrian women has been noticed by the competition: A 37-year-old Jordanian woman running a chain of at least seven brothels in northern Jordan complained that they were taking over the business.
"Men have been asking for Syrian women because they like the blond and light-skinned among them, and the chances that they may create problems, like blackmailing married Jordanian men, are almost nonexistent," she says. "My policy has been, you either befriend them so that they'd work with you, or get rid of them by tipping police about them."
Jordanian police also say dozens of Syrian women now work in prostitution. On one day last month they arrested 11 women, eight of them Syrian, at a coffee shop in Irbid for alleged "indecent public behavior."
Despite strong traditions against sex outside marriage, prostitution takes place in the Arab world, as in other regions, though it is largely more hidden. While there may be known cruising areas in cities, overt red-light districts are rare, and some prostitutes even wear face veils to hide their activities. Arrangements can be made by phone, and short-term or informal marriages are sometimes used as a cover for prostitution or sex trafficking.
Particularly sensitive are the charges of prostitution within the Zaatari camp, housing some 120,000 refugees, which is funded by the U.N. and hosted by Jordan, a largely conservative Muslim nation. The camp gives refugees tents or pre-fab shelters and rationed supplies of staple foods, but conditions in the desert are bleak and aid money is running short.
"We have seen no evidence of prostitution in the camp, but we have heard rumors of it," said Andrew Harper, chief of the U.N. refugee commission in Jordan. "Given the vulnerability of women, the camp's growing population and the lack of resources, I'm not surprised that some may opt for such actions."
Residents at the camp complain that the unlit toilets become brothels at night, and aid workers say dozens of babies are born without documentation for their fathers, possibly because of prostitution. Mohammed Abu Zureiq, 50, a camp janitor from Daraa, says along with prostitution, some women at the camp are sold outright.

Please allow me to introduce me.
Half of me slave, the other half free.
Righteous and sinful,
Both at the same time.
Iniquity and purity
Fill up the same mind.
And out of the same mouth,
The holy and profane.
I curse all my brothers,
Then I bless Christ's name.
I hang in the balance,
But still I'm secure.
I'm leaning towards evil,
But striving to be pure
I stand between the saint and the
Sinner, chasing after holiness, close
Enough to grasp, but still it's just Beyond my reach.
Who I am is in between,
What I want to be and what I am.
Pulling from both sides,
Humility and pride.
One seeks to five,
The other to be gratified.
In any case, however,
I know I'm in need.
Two appetites in me,
Find more lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.com
Which on do I feed?
Running fast as I can
After elusive perfection.
No I'm not there yet,
But sure I'm in the right direction.
'cause I see me at the end
And I look glorified.
Justified safe inside,
So I seek to be sanctified.

2010-11 Playoffs
Sofa King Depressing: Stanley Cup Defense Ends in Game 7
Apr 27th
Posted by Bartl in 2010-11 Game Recaps
UPDATED APRIL 27 @ 10:47 A.M. with Henrietta Sedin's asshole comment
The Chicago Blackhawks' defense of the Stanley Cup ended just as it began — with an overtime goal no one saw coming. Fittingly, the Blackhawks' season ended on an in-zone turnover, which has plagued them all season.
If you're looking for any "Rah-rah! They came back from 0-3 and that's great in itself!", then go somewhere else. You're not going to find that here. At least not yet. The ups and downs of tonight's game have put me into a state of depression only alcohol can lift me from. And even that didn't do much help tonight.
It's going to take some time for me to gather up any rational thoughts regarding the Game 7 overtime loss, so your best bet is to check back later. I'm in no mood, and I can't guarantee when I will be.
Not one thing is screaming positive to me, and rather than put up another post like the one I did in last year's playoffs, I'll just concede to the night and bury my thoughts deep inside one of the worst sports moments I've ever experienced in my 29-plus years on this earth.
With Our Heads Held High: Game 7 Tonight
Apr 26th
Posted by Tim Currell in 2010-11 Game Previews
First thing's first: We've already won. Win or lose tonight, the Blackhawks have scored a victory. After falling behind 3 games to none, they have fought their way back in a manner worthy of the defending Stanley Cup Champions. They have played hard, they have given their fans a thrill second only to the Cup victory last year, and they have overcome significant adversity in doing so.
The Chicago Blackhawks, and their fans, can accept the outcome of tonight's game with our heads held high. It's been a fantastic series, and it will be coming to an end tonight.
That having been said, let's go out there tonight and demolish those whiny, overrated choke-weasels.

The Pulse Network's "Sports Buzz" show was nice enough to invite us on again to talk about the Blackhawks vs. Canucks game 7 tonight. Joining us was Larenzo Jansen, blogger for The Canuck Way blog, our evil-ugly-red-headed-step-sister blog out of Vancouver on the Fansided Network.
Don't worry, I was nice.

The Day-After Calm: Blackhawks Haven't Won Anything Yet
Apr 25th
Posted by Bartl in 2010-11 Playoffs
I know first-hand the excitment everyone is feeling after the Game 6 overtime victory, which forced an improbable Game 7 on Tuesday in Vancouver. Battling back from 0-3 to force a deciding game is an accomplishment in itself – and a rather exciting one to boot.
After Ben Smith flipped the winner over Roberto Luongo, I was so excited I couldn't be cooped up in a cab or on the bus. I live two miles north of the United Center up Damen Ave. in Wicker Park, and I walked every step of the way home. I even stopped in a couple bars to have a celebratory drink.
Some gloating and a nice sleep later, I've finally come back to Earth to realize the most important thing: The Blackhawks haven't won anything yet, and they may have put us fans in a worse position to suffer heart failure than if they were simply swept away.
The roller coaster ride of this series resembles the entire 82-game season nearly as much as the Sedin twins do each other – and it's been nearly just as ugly. Injuries, storylines, depths of despair, moments of hope, more painful miscues, then a rise to get us all back on the teeter-tottering bandwagon named "Repeat."
'Vigneault' Is French For 'Wussy'
Apr 25th
Posted by Tim Currell in 2010-11 Playoffs
We were all blissfully confident that we knew who was going to lead the Canucks out of the tunnel on Sunday night. Vancouver Coach Alain Vigneault was adamant in his response to a reporter's question following his team's game 5 loss: Roberto Luongo would start. Call it stubborn, call it stupid, call it Shirley. Whatever you call it, everyone was on the same page.
So when the reports from the United Center started blazing across the Twitterscape that Cory Schneider was leading the team on to the ice for warm-ups, heads spun around. What happened? Was Luongo hurt? Did Vigneault get overruled by the Canucks' General Manager? Did Luongo chicken out? Or was this some calculated move on Vigneault's part intended to make bloggers and the press look like idiots?
Given some time to think about the move to start Schneider instead of the poorly-performing Luongo, it was the desperate move of a coward who cares less about winning than he does about saving his job.
Game 89. See You There, Vancouver: Boxing with 'Hawks/Canucks, Game 6
Apr 25th
Posted by Bartl in 2010-11 Game Recaps
Game 6 had it all. Pregame storylines, dismay, euphoria … then overtime, with the Blackhawks season either continuing or crumbling with the next goal.
Alain Vineauglt displayed his 10-pound sack by benching Vezina Trophy finalist Roberto Luongo in favor of 25-year-old Cory Schneider in a game Vancouver absolutely needed to head back home happy. And even the most daring of moves left Luongo skating off the ice with his hair gel being the only thing waiting at his locker not passing judgment.
Much like the 'Hawks have been doing thing this entire series, they fought from behind. Down 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2, the Blackhawks tied it each time. Then Ben Smith flicked the end of Game 88 past a sprawling Luongo to guarantee a win-or-go-home Game 89. While Blackhawks fans are celebrating just getting back into this series, hoping to complete a historic comeback in Game 7, Canucks fans are already sending out their mourning letters to their beloved squad, demanding – not hoping for – a victory before all faith is lost.
There's plenty of bad we can go over. Farting pucks all over the ice, the three third-period shots – two if you don't count Michael Frolik's penalty shot – the Canucks seemingly dominating most of the game, and the heart-wrenching which goes along with overtime playoff hockey knowing your team will meet its demise with the opponent's next goal.
Things need to be fixed before Tuesday, and part of me believes the Blackhawks were lucky to get out of Chicago with a victory knowing Vancouver played nearly its best hockey of the entire series. On top of that, 1:43 of 5-on-3 went to waste, with the kick in the dick coming when Coach Q used his only timeout to draw up a bunch of shit which obviously didn't work. The fact the Blackhawks' only lead came after Smith's goal is indicative of how a good portion of Game 6 played out. While it feels good to celebrate now, Game 7 won't go as well if the same screw-ups happen as they did Sunday.
For the second time in this series, each member of the Dave Bolland line notched a goal. Bolland played a key role in two, destroying Dan Hamhuis to force the turnover on Bryan Bickell's goal, then potting his own off Kaner's feed from Schneider's piss-poor clearing attempt.
The Blackhawks still will be facing elimination in the next game. But so will Vancouver, which seems improbable after the first three games of this series. The pressure is still on the Canucks, who need to avoid a collapse of epic proportions and the most embarrassing "History Will Be Made" video ever.
I'll do the rest of my talking in Boxing…
Seabrook Back, Luongo Starts: Game 6 Preview
Apr 24th
Posted by Tim Currell in 2010-11 Game Previews
Short one here before game time, as Chez Currell is a bit chaotic this afternoon.
Brent Seabrook passed his NHL concussion protocol late this morning, and will be dressed and ready to help this freight train deliver a win to the Blackhawks' faithful at the Madhouse tonight. Canucks fans seem to think this spells doom for Chicago, since Seabrook has been the team's rallying cry these last two games. Let's let them keep thinking that, shall we?
Norval Nelson, 92, to be honored during Game 6 National Anthem
Apr 23rd
Posted by Bartl in 2010-11 Playoffs
Taking part in the National Anthem tradition Sunday at the United Center will be a bit more special for me after receiving a message from loyal reader Jennifer Ciepley.
Mr. Norval Nelson, one of the last surviving U.S. Navy divers from the D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied France on June 6, 1944, will be next to Anthem singer Jim Cornelison while more than 20,000 fans at the United Center celebrate the tradition.
Mr. Nelson, 92, is the grandfather of Jennifer's husband.
"He really is an amazing man and at 92, still is bright and quick to smile and he loves this country," Jennifer said. "Can you imagine the changes this man has seen in his lifetime?"
Mr. Nelson was 26 years old when he and 199 other divers — or "frogmen" as they were called — crossed the English Channel on D-Day. Though suffering five combat injuries in six days, he was one of only 17 divers to survived the invasion. Nelson is one of only four divers still alive today.
Hungry and seemingly terribly injured, Mr. Nelson said, "I asked God, 'Please let me die.'"
Mr. Nelson was one of 199 members of Navy Combat Demolition Force O, which had the duty of blowing up obstacles the Germans put on the beach to prevent landings of allied forces. The naval demolition units were precursors of the Navy SEALs.
Westminster Christian High School in Elgin raised money through its basketball team's Free Throws for Heroes movement to send Mr. Nelson to Fort Pierce in Florida, where he trained before the war and always wanted to visit.
Upon his arrival, he was honored with a celebration.
The Chicago Blackhawks will help provide Mr. Nelson with an experience he and his family likely will never forget, as the United Center cheers during the National Anthem prior to Game 6.
Hopefully the Blackhawks give Mr. Nelson something to cheer about as well.
Thanks again to Jennifer Ciepley for providing the photo and information
Tim's Bits: Back To The Madhouse!
Apr 23rd
Posted by Tim Currell in 2010-11 Playoffs
Some notes for you to mull over as we get ready to welcome our Blackhawks back to the Madhouse on Madison tomorrow night.
In Thursday's post-game press conference, Vancouver Coach Alain Vigneault was asked if Roberto Luongo would start game six. The reporter didn't even finish the question before Coach Pouty-Face snapped, "Yes." Pride goeth before destruction, methinks.

5-OH!: We'll-See-You-in-Chicago Boxing with Blackhawks/Canucks
Apr 22nd
Posted by Bartl in 2010-11 Game Recaps
And just like that, it's a series.
Go ahead, lie to me. Tell me you saw this coming. I just may be gullible enough right now to believe you.
Thursday night's 5-0 bitch-slapping of the Canucks in Vancouver was about as beautiful of a performance as … well, as Tuesday night's. The back-to-back wet farts by Roberto Luongo with his team a single victory away from eliminating its arch rivals is a classic occurrence from a guy who can't seem to keep himself composed.
Luongo took off his "Oh Shit" face long enough during interviews Tuesday night and Wednesday to tell everyone how calm he was, how he was going to leave the 6 GA branded on his ass in his rear-view mirror. Then he came out Thursday looking like an AHL castoff. He would have had a better chance stopping pucks if he stood up his tube of L.A. Looks hair gel in the crease.
Much like we were asking where the Blackhawks were the first three games of the series, Canucks fans have to be wondering where the living hell the composed, fluid, throat-grabbing Canucks have disappeared to during the last two. It's been a meltdown of epic proportions, resorting back to being thugs in the face of adversity.
Alain Vingeault looked up to the scoreboard so damn often I simply thought he slept funny and his neck was stuck. It ain't gonna change, buddy. You're still getting your ass kicked. And on top of that, he couldn't keep his players composed.
Notorious assholes Kevin Bieksa and Alexander Edler decided to forget they were playing hockey in order to get chippy, and things just got worse for the Canucks. Once again, it was phenominal to see. I wrote over and over again this Vancouver team was different from the past two postseasons. Apparently I was wrong. Get this team down, and they fold up quicker than one of those slap braclets many of you are too young to remember.
When Vancouver wins this series (keeping with tradition, so you can breathe now), we'll at the very least be able to look back at these performances and say, "OK, at least we made a valiant effort to defend the Stanley Cup.
But that flight to Chicago for Game 6 – can you believe it; Game Fucking 6?! – for the Canucks will be so tight they may crumble with a minor bout of turbulence. There may not be as much laughter and tomfoolery as there was on the trek between Game 2 and Game 3.
It's back to Chicago and the raucous United Center for a game I never thought would come. It seems a while ago I walked past Canucks fans holding brooms heading into the UC from Game 4. Now I hope the 'Hawks bring me a step closer to shoving them directly up their asses.
A few thoughts before Boxing …
How many of you thought the 'Hawks were completely screwed after Brian Campbell took that penalty 16 seconds into the game? (/Bartl raises his hand)
Duncan Keith was an ass hair away from a hat trick, as Patrick Kane nipped the puck on past Luongo to put the 'Hawks ahead 3-0
Although the Blackhawks were 1 for 273 on breakaways Thursday, Marian Hossa made the one look damn sexy. Luongo looked like he was trying to figure out his ride home while Hossa skated in.
How do Canucks fans decide which Sedin jersey to buy? "I'm just gonna get the one for the guy who's better loo… no, they both look the same. OK, I'll get the one of the guy who's got the most career poi… well, that's pretty much the same, too. Hmm, how about I get the one of the guy who has the least amount of leadersh… well, that's pretty damn similar, too. Just give me the one of the guy with red ha… damn it, they both have red hair. All right, give me the one of the biggest headcase … (Clerk says) Here's your Luongo jersey, sir."
Edler's elbow to Brouwer was such a bush-league play that he should get a suspension purely based off the fact that he's a gigantic piece of shit.
Oh, and Corey Crawford had a 36-save shutout. Boo-ya-ka-sha!
OK I'm done. Here's Boxing:
Game 5, Still Alive: Blackhawks Get Another Shot At Canucks
Apr 21st
Posted by Tim Currell in 2010-11 Game Previews
Blackhawks fans went to the United Center on Tuesday, hoping with all their might that the fate of their team would be different that the previous three games. Hoping that some spark would be lit under the Men of Four Feathers. Hoping that whatever magic the Blackhawks had conjured from time to time during the regular season would waft through the rafters at the U.C. again.
And sweet barking cheese, did they get what they came for.
Bryan Bickell began the fun less than two minutes into the game, and the Blackhawks' faithful were treated to six more blasts of Chelsea Dagger before the night was over. It was nearly everything they could have asked for, and everything Canucks's fans were dreading: a monumental and embarrassing collapse that thwarted their team's progression to the second round.
So the question now becomes, what were the ingredients of this victory, and how can they do it again in the hostile confines of GM Place tonight?
Seabrook travels; Luongo staying calm; Canucks brass gets earful
Apr 20th
Posted by Bartl in 2010-11 Playoffs
Just stopping by quick to throw out a couple storylines heading into tomorrow's Game 5 in Vancouver …
Despite suffering a concussion in Game 3 from Raffi Torres' horrendous hit, Brent Seabrook will travel with the Blackhawks to Vancouver and could play in Game 5, according to Coach Q.
I'm not sure how I feel about this, given the recent history of players hitting the ice too quickly after a concussion. See: Crosby, Sidney. And especially since the Blackhawks just gave Seabrook a big-money extension. It was clear Seabrook was dazed and skating off balance when he came back on the ice for his next shift. He then sat out the rest of the game. That means there's a problem, and it probably hasn't fixed itself in four days.
Even putting that aside and looking at it from a must-win point of view, Seabrook sat out the Game 4 rout. That doesn't mean I feel Seabrook is useless and the Blackhawks can win without him again, but why risk the chance of long-term injury when it doesn't seem completey necessary? Of course, we said that about Dave Bolland and then saw what happened.
It can go either way, but I would rather have Seabrook sit and see how he feels for a potential Game 6.
Night of the Living Dead: It's-Not-Over-Yet Boxing with 'Hawks/Canucks
Apr 20th
Posted by Bartl in 2010-11 Game Recaps
If that was the last time we see the Blackhawks on the United Center ice this season, what a way to go out.
Tuesday night's 7-2 demolishing of Vancouver in Game 4 might have been the most fun I've had watching something I couldn't muster the excitement for all day. For one night – and hopefully not the only night – the 'Hawks took it too their opponent in a fashion which we've all been dying to see.
And it came without Brent Seabrook, who sat out due to the douchebaggery of one Raffi Torres.
Tuesday, the Canucks were the ones missing passes, not staying in position and chasing the entire game. Vancouver was out of its game, and it was extremely pleasant to witness.
Oh, so that Dave Bolland guy came back. Yeah, it took him all of two periods to become the Blackhawks' leading scorer in the playoffs. His line completely hampered the Sedin Twins defensively, then took it the Canucks offensively as him, Bryan Bickell and Michael Frolik ended up a plus-4.
All three scored a goal, and Bolland and Frolik combined on a couple superb plays. Bolland's goal was all Frolik's doing, as he skated into the zone and forced the turnover Bolland cleaned up. Bolland then took the hit to make a beautiful pass, springing Frolik for the breakaway and de-pantsing of Roberto Luongo.
From there, Vancouver did exactly what they've been avoiding all series and decided to get chippy rather than play hockey. It's what we've seen the past two postseasons from the Canucks, and it's amazing how quickly they can get back to their bad habits when the 'Hawks took it to them. Will it carry over to Game 5? Who knows. But despite holding a 3-1 series lead, it sure seems they were so rattled they couldn't control their emotions on the ice.
From a team we've seen so poised through the first three games, it was shocking Vancouver didn't just take its beating and stayed within themselves. Instead, the Canucks may have given the Blackhawks even more momentum heading to Vancouver. We'll see if that's true or not.
And how nice was it to finally get to Luongo. I respect the hell out of him and think he's an all-world goaltender, but damn to see that guy skating off the ice with his tail between his legs is an awesome site – more because of what it did for the Blackhawks and the fans, especially.
We'll see if any of the Canucks fans who have been chiming in on the site use the strained back muscle or whatever it was as an excuse, but if it was that bad then he should have sat. Again, take your beating and move onto Game 5 rather than risk it. Instead, he came out, got lit up, then hit bench with a 6 tattooed on him.
I'm not going to sit here and write the Blackhawks are going to come back and win this series. I still don't believe it will happen. But a win in Game 5 will get me – and Canucks fans alike – thinking heavily about it.
Tuesday was the Night of the Living Dead. The Blackhawks are staggering, but they're not gonna give it up that easy.
I'll just go ahead and discuss the rest in Boxing. Enjoy – even if you're a Canucks fan.
So Do Our Minutes Hasten To Their End: Game 4 Tonight
Apr 19th
Posted by Tim Currell in 2010-11 Game Previews
We went into this series cautiously optimistic, perhaps even over-confident due to our record against the Canucks. We had faith in our team, we believed in them. Some of us will until the teams meet at center ice to shake hands. But I can't hold out any more hope; the Canucks will beat us tonight, we're getting swept.
The Blackhawks had to do two things to win this series: they needed to conceive of a plan to beat the Canucks; and they needed to execute that plan. Unfortunately they never got past step one, as whatever plan they came up with was either ill-conceived or ineffective. They never played their game, and the Canucks have (for the most part) manhandled them every step of the way. But make no mistake: this series wasn't lost in the last week. They started losing this series the day after the parade on Michigan Avenue to celebrate the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup Championship.
So what the hell happened? How did we get here? How did we go from first to the first team ejected from the playoffs in one short year? Lots of answers here, not all of them within anyone's control, none of them entirely responsible, but clearly all of them contributing.
No Suspension for Torres; Toews Downplays Canucks' Dominance
Apr 18th
Posted by Bartl in 2010-11 Playoffs
Word came out today that Vancouver Canucks' notorious jackass Raffi Torres will not be suspended for his crushing hit on Brent Seabrook in Game 3 on Sunday. And before any of the Canucks fans who have been chiming in on this site begin foaming at the mouth, read what one of your own had to say about Torres and his hit.
Seabrook sounded off on Torres, saying the hit deserved a suspension. Ignoring the fact Seabrook is obviously biased toward the decision being the recipient of the hit, remember that Torres just recently came off a suspension for a cheap shot on Oilers' rookie Jordan Eberle.
In a brief Twitter discussion I had today with the The Globe and Mail's James Mirtle, he had this to offer regarding the NHL and their policies toward these types of hits:
Dim the Lights: Down 0-3 Boxing with Blackhawks/Canucks
Apr 18th
Posted by Bartl in 2010-11 Game Recaps
I know what you optimists are thinking, and you can stop right now. The Blackhawks are not the 2010 Flyers, and these Canucks are not the Boston Bruins. It ain't gonna happen.
Even when the 'Hawks were at their best in this series, it wasn't enough. Vancouver took advantage of the few opportunities they were given to beat the Blackhawks 3-2 and pull within one victory of ending their rivals' season.
This series may not end Tuesday, but it likely will be the last time you see the Blackhawks play at the United Center this season. Pardon the utter lack of faith, though I cannot fathom how you could disagree. The Canucks didn't play their best game, and they still beat the Blackhawks when they played, well, a lot better than they had. It's tough to argue with that.
A few thoughts before Boxing …
I'd first like to throw out a shit sandwich to anyone who believed dressing John Scott was a good idea. A dipshit penalty, one horrendous decision by Coach Q to put him out for nearly an entire power play, and 5:20 of ice time later, Scott sat the bench for the rest of the game. That should be the last time we see Scott in an Indian-head sweater.
Although the Blackhawks didn't convert on 1:17 of 5-on-3, I wouldn't say they pissed that time away. Roberto Luongo made two terrific saves on Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane at the doorstep to snuff out the Blackhawks' attack. Though it would have been nice to go up two goals at that point and create some sort of cushion, it's probably the best the power play looked in the series aside from …
Duncan Keith scoring off the draw five seconds into the first power play of the night. It marked the Blackhawks' first lead of the series and last of the night, which makes me want to cause physical harm to myself.
Even though both 'Hawks goals came on the power play, they finished 2 for 7 and couldn't take advantage of Vancouver consistently taking penalties.
We all wondered where the Blackhawks' "stars" were the previous two games. Keith scored, Toews had two assists and Kane added another. Marian Hossa? Well…
Here's your Boxing:
Slipping Away: Game 2 Boxing with Blackhawks/Canucks
Apr 16th
Posted by Bartl in 2010-11 Game Recaps
The Blackhawks are doing just enough to piss off everyone. There's hope, then it's ripped away. And with the glimmer flickering its last gasps, it's all over.
Vancouver 2, Blackhawks 0. The way things have gone, I implore you to find a reason it will change on home ice.
The obvious fact: The Canucks are flat out better than the Blackhawks. That wasn't a state secret coming into this series. The not-so-obvious fact? Vancouver has put together a fantastic gameplan to slow down the Blackhawks and take away their speed. The Canucks have controlled the neutral zone, taking away the 'Hawks' ability to skate into the zone with much threat for most of the series.
Vancouver's aggressive forecheck has done the 'Hawks in on numerous occasions, forcing the Blackhawks into turnovers and rushing the decision-making while keeping the 'Hawks' speed at bay. On top of that, notice how the Canucks clear the puck from their zone. It's flipped into the air into the center of the ice, avoiding icing and making the Blackhawks chase. More often than not, the puck is not rung around or banged off the side boards to simply clear the line.
The puck floats, bounces harmlessly into the Blackhawks' zone waiting for a defenseman to finally get his stick on it. This time is allowing the Canucks forwards and defensemen slip into the neutral zone and set up. This might as well be 1989, because the Blackhawks haven't been able to complete a two-line pass with any sort of efficiency. The 'Hawks are being shut down and taken out of their game.
And that's the reason the fourth line came up with all three goals Friday night. The 'Hawks skilled players are being neutralized by Vancouver, and that's the reason you're not seeing Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp, etc., do anything of substance in this series. If the Canucks are allowing goals to only the fourth line – which sees limited minutes – against their bottom six, Vancouver seems to feel its in good shape. And its the correct gamplan, seeing as the Canucks hold a 2-0 advantage heading to Chicago.
Not to take anything away from Ben Smith, who played an outstanding game. The same goes for Viktor Stalberg, who not only scored but after 84 games decided it was time to be a bit physical. Kane looks scared shitless, and only for the last six minutes of the game decided to fight through checks. Toews? Hossa? Sharp? Coach Q needs to watch some tape and figure out how to get these guys in position to score against Vancouver's aggressive – yet very skilled – play.
Enough can't be said about Corey Crawford. He is facing the Dustin Byfuglien treatment the Blackhawks laid on Roberto Luongo the last two postseasons. The Canucks are parking people in front of the net and disrupting Crawford's line of site through the first two games. But he stoned the Sedins on a 2 on 0 and faced enough odd-man rushes to make my farts seem pleasant, yet stood tall and kept the 'Hawks in the game the best he could.
The rushes came from the 'Hawks using their defenseman to pinch more frequently and carry the puck into the zone as often as possible in order to put some sort of pressure on Luongo. Problem was, it didn't work. Vancouver broke free for numerous scoring chances, and luckily they took 400 offsides penalties or this game might have ended 10-3.
Friday's game was lost in the second period. Sharp's retaliation trip led to Vancouver's power-play goal in the first minute, then a deflection goal with 13 seconds remaining took away the momentum after Smith pulled Chicago to within one.
There's a whole ton of shit that needs to be figured out in two days, and it's going to be a chore to actually do it. My feeling is the Blackhawks are going to need more than just the motivation of the home crowd, because the Canucks seem confident enough not to give a rat's ass what color the jerseys are.
With all of that said, this series is far from over as much as it may seem like it. There's still a decent amount of positives to take from these two games. If the top six show up, there's a lot that can be done.
Onto Boxing, if you can stomach it.
Have Patience, And Endure: Hawks vs. Canucks, Game 2
Apr 15th
Posted by Tim Currell in 2010-11 Game Previews
Little did I know when I wrote the post-game wrap-up after Game 1 that my analysis would cause such a kerfuffle! It appears that I managed to offend the delicate sensibilities of the Vancouver faithful by blaspheming their beloved super-stars with a pithy nickname. Well, my countrymen, you all have a lot thinner skins than I thought you did. Heat, kitchen, you figure out the rest. This is hockey, not badminton. If my choice of words was a little below the belt (*groan*), that's nothing: you should see how I refer to Sidney Crosby.
So as a new day dawns and a new game approaches, verily I say unto thee, fear not. Regardless of the snit our worthy opponents to the north have themselves in because of my "unprofessional" (is somebody paying me and I don't know it?) references to feminine hygiene products, I'm going to keep telling it like it is, colorful language and all.
Victory Within Defeat: 'Nucks Top 'Hawks, Show One-Dimensional Game
Apr 14th
Posted by Tim Currell in 2010-11 Game Recaps
I'm seeing a lot of mainstream press comments about the Blackhawks not being ready to play, and putting in a poor effort, and what-not. Sorry, guys, you missed the point. The end result of this game means zilch: the game within the game is what matters here, and all signs point to a Blackhawks series victory.
Buckle Up, Chicago: Blackhawks vs. Canucks, Round 3
Apr 13th
Posted by Tim Currell in 2010-11 Game Previews
For two straight years the Chicago Blackhawks have knocked the Vancouver Canucks out of the playoffs. The in the 2008-09 season, the loss rested squarely on goaltender/captain Roberto Luongo's shoulders, as his post-season collapse was the main reason the 'Nucks polished up their Taylor Made's early that year. In 2009-10 the defeat was particularly insulting, as Vancouver had re-tooled the team specifically for the purpose of getting past the 'Hawks and into the Stanley Cup Finals. But Chicago bested them again.
This season, the Canucks have dominated the league almost from the get-go. They sat first in the league at the end of the regular season, the only injury of consequence is Manny Malhotra, and both the team and the fans are primed and ready for a Cup-winning run to avenge the losses the past two years.
Vancouver had better get used to disappointment. Chicago is going to put them down, yet again.
Flashback: 1982 Campbell Conference Finals, Vancouver vs. Chicago
Apr 12th
Posted by Bartl in 2010-11 Playoffs
Blackhawks-Canucks III may seem like a more sexy title given the renewed rivalry and Chicago's dominance over the past two postseasons. But there was a time when the Canucks got the best of the Blackhawks, and they kept Denis Savard, Norris Trophy winner Doug Wilson and the 'Hawks from moving onto the Stanley Cup finals.
It was the same series the Vancouver Canucks and coach Roger Neilson provided the hockey world with a memorable moment.
Recap (and Boxing) of 'Hawks/Canucks Regular Season Series: Twins style
Apr 12th
Posted by Bartl in 2010-11 Playoffs
This seems fitting, doesn't it? Granted Daniel and Henrik Sedin look much more alike than Schwarzenegger and DeVito, but this seems a pretty good movie to help with the breakdown.
The Blackhawks and Canucks split four regular-season meetings with each winning once each at home and on the road. Here's a quick snipit of team statistics from each contest.
The most glaring aspect — which Brad Ziemer of the Vancouver Sun pointed out yesterday in our Behind Enemy Lines interview — is the Blackhawks were just 1 for 20 on the power play through the four games. The Canucks went 5 for 16. Ziemer said this series could come down to special teams, and he may be right.
Much like I did during last season's playoffs against San Jose, I'll breakdown each regular-season game relating to a quote. This edition, we'll rely on Twins to provide us the memorable banter. And if you were lucky enough to get Boxing after one of these games, you'll be able to take another gander at that as well.
And ….. go.
Behind Enemy Lines: Q&A with Vancouver Sun beat writer Brad Ziemer
Apr 11th
Posted by Bartl in 2010-11 Playoffs
Blackhawks-Canucks III begins Wednesday, with the hated rivals set to do battle once again. To gain a bit more insight into the opponent, I traded emails with Vancouver Sun beat writer, Brad Ziemer, who has done a fantastic job of covering the Canucks.
Ziemer gives us his thoughts on the the differences between previous Vancouver teams, the resurgence of Roberto Luongo, the keys to the series and his prediction.
You may not enjoy his answers.
Bartl: Everyone knows the playoff history between the Blackhawks and Canucks. They don't like each other. However, Vancouver enters this series as the favorite while the Blackhawks are backing in with a bit of luck. What are some noticeable differences from this year's Canucks team and the two previous teams which lost to Chicago?
Ziemer: This is a much more confident and mature Canuck team. Guys like Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows, who used to waste much of their energy trash-talking and getting involved in scrums, have for the most part stuck to hockey this season. The team is also much deeper on defence. They enter the playoffs with their top six defencemen all healthy for the first time all season.

From The New York Times:
TOKYO — Japan on Friday promised to begin an investigation into the mysterious mutilation of hundreds of copies of "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl" and other books related to her at public libraries across Tokyo.
Local news media reports said 31 municipal libraries had found 265 copies of the diary by Frank, the young Holocaust victim, and other books vandalized, usually with several pages torn or ripped out. The reports said some libraries had taken copies of the diary off their shelves to protect them.
Officials said they did not know the motive for the vandalism, the first cases of which were discovered earlier this month.

The National Library of Norway is planning to digitize all the books by the mid 2020s.
Yes. All. The. Books. In Norwegian, at least. Hundreds of thousands of them. Every book in the library's holdings.
By law, "all published content, in all media, [must] be deposited with the National Library of Norway," so when the library is finished scanning, the entire record of a people's language and literature will be machine-readable and sitting in whatever we call the cloud in 15 years.
The whole story is at The Atlantic.

Big story from Naples Italy via The New York Times. Here's the perp, Marino Massimo De Caro, now on trial.
It was one of the most dramatic thefts ever to hit the rare-book world, the disappearance of thousands of volumes — including centuries-old editions of Aristotle, Descartes, Galileo and Machiavelli — from the Baroque-era Girolamini Library in Naples. Now, prosecutors at a trial here are trying to show how such a wholesale violation of Western cultural patrimony could have taken place.
The very man charged with protecting these treasures, Marino Massimo De Caro, a politically connected former director of the library, is accused of being at the center of a network of middlemen, book dealers and possibly crooked conservators — all part of what prosecutors say is a sometimes corrupt market for rare books in which much is spent and few questions are asked. Apart from Mr. De Caro, 13 others are charged, including a priest.
Some interesting backstory on the theft here and and here from the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers.

Fascinating piece in the New Yorker about an ancient Chinese library in Dunhuang, unearthed about one hundred years ago, and where scholars are now in the process of digitizing thousand year old Chinese manuscripts.
A portion of the article equating print with prayer...
"The paper items preserved in the Library also shed light on the origins of another information technology: print. The Diamond Sutra, one of the most famous documents recovered from Dunhuang, was commissioned in 868 A.D., "for free distribution," by a man named Wang Jie, who wanted to commemorate his parents. In the well-known sermon that it contains, the Buddha declares that the merit accrued from reading and reciting the sutra was worth more than a galaxy filled with jewels. In other words, reproducing scriptures, whether orally or on paper, was good for karma. Printing began as a form of prayer, the equivalent of turning a prayer wheel or slipping a note into the Western Wall in Jerusalem, but on an industrial scale."
From The Telegraph, UK:
Louise Brown, 91 (NOT the first IVF baby), has read up to a dozen books a week since 1946 without incurring a single fine for late returns.
She borrows mainly large print books because she is partially sighted, and has almost worked her way through her local library's entire stock.
Library staff in Stranraer, Dumfries and Galloway, say the pensioner's rapacious reading habits over 60 years could earn her a place in the record books. Mrs Brown, a widow, said: "My parents were great readers and I've always loved books. I started reading when I was five and have never stopped. I like anything I can get my hands on." She said her favourite genres are family sagas, historical novels and war stories, but added: "I also like Mills and Boon for light reading at night." She said she had read too many books to have a favourite or top five, but if she had to choose a preferred genre it would be family sagas or historical novels.
Louise Pride, her daughter, said: "She has aids to help her sight and usually borrows large print books. But the trouble is she has read nearly all of them in the local library. She still finds time to ready a newspaper every day and to watch TV."

On the application I am currently working on, we need a way for users to generate reports in Microsoft Word or Excel format (export and print).
One of the requirement is that the users would create the report template using a Word or Excel template document.
I've tried to google a reporting tool that uses word and excel templates for report templates and the only one I found (Windwards) is way too expensive and wouldn't fit our needs. We cannot have a server to generate the reports, so the report would need to be generated directly by the application (Windows Forms).

Drive Hammered - Get Nailed results released
Several times throughout the year the Washington State Traffic Safety Commission funds extra patrols for enforcement of seat-belt laws, intoxicated driver laws and other injury and fatality risk-related offenses.
In Washington state, the No. 1 factor contributing to traffic deaths is driver impairment. During 2007 alone, traffic crashes killed 571 people on Washington's roadways, according to reports from the commission. Impaired drivers accounted for nearly half of the total percentage of deaths at 263.
The Drive Hammered - Get Nailed program is not the only enforcement emphasis funded by the commission. It also provides for X52, which provides added enforcement every week of the year as part of the state plan to eliminate all traffic deaths and serious injuries in the state by 2030, a plan called TargetZero.
According to the director of the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, Lowell Porter, the efforts may be paying off.
"We are pleased to report this year's Drive Hammered - Get Nailed crackdown helped make the Labor Day holiday a safer one than Washington had in 2007," Porter said in a press release.
The program, which included law enforcement officers from state patrol to city police, ran from Aug. 15-Sept. 1.
"This year Washington had four traffic fatalities during the holiday weekend and we are proud to announce that none involved drugs or alcohol," Porter said. "It has been six years since a Labor Day holiday was free from a traffic death due to alcohol."
Officers in Clallam County arrested 21 motorists, compared to six in Jefferson, 92 in Kitsap and 30 in Grays Harbor counties. There were 23 arrests in Clallam County in 2007.
The Clallam County Sheriff's Office was responsible for three of the county's arrests. Sequim Police had one. Port Angeles Police had three and Washington State Patrol had 14.

Carat wins bulk of $200m MasterCard media
Dentsu's Carat has taken the bulk of MasterCard's global media planning and buying account from incumbent UM, after a review.
MasterCard: awards the bulk of its global media business to Carat
The Interpublic-owned network UM, which was previously known as Universal McCann, will retain the business in Latin America, but Carat has won the rest of the estimated $200 million (£122 million) business.
The financial services company sent RFIs to agencies in November last year, and ran a pitch from its head office in Purchase, New York. Omnicom's PHD, and a media agency offering from the holding group WPP, were also involved in the process.
A spokesman for MasterCard said: "MasterCard regularly reviews and assesses industry resources as part of responsible vendor and agency management.
"At this time we can confirm that Carat has been awarded the consolidated media business in all markets except Latin America. Universal McCann will retain the business in Latin America."
UM's sister Interpublic agency McCann Erickson handles MasterCard's global advertising.
The spokesman said: "The integrated McCann XBC team will continue to support MasterCard in other marketing activities, including creative, digital, sponsorships and partnerships."
Mastercard, which just announced it will create a contactless payment system for mobile phones backed by O2, Vodafone and EE, spent $182 million (£111 million) in the top 12 ad markets in 2011, according to Recma.

Posted: Monday, August 18, 2014 --- 7:36 a.m.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Dozens of people rallied in downtown Milwaukee to show solidarity for demonstrators in Ferguson, Missouri who are demanding justice for Michael Brown, the black teenager killed by a police officer.
More than 100 people stopped traffic at a major intersection in downtown Milwaukee and a highway ramp Sunday and rallied at a park where Dontre Hamilton was recently shot and killed by a Milwaukee police officer. The Milwaukee County district attorney is reviewing Hamilton's death. Hamilton's brother Nate was among the demonstrators.
WISN-TV (http://bit.ly/1uMzviq ) reports Police Chief Ed Flynn says that in the big picture his department has the community's support and realizes that being an officer is a complex job.

The Daily Word in APD, melanoma and kindness
A USA Today article published yesterday quoted Albuquerque Police Chief Gorden Eden recognizing "a systemic failure in ... ability to track employee misconduct." Eden went to say, "I believe there are people on the force who shouldn't be on the force.'' But Eden told USA Today that police union contracts make it difficult to enforce retroactive discipline within bounds of a union contract, stating "Yes, we may be stuck with them."
Today Albuquerque Police Officers Association President Stephanie Lopez told KOAT that she initially felt disappointed and angered that Eden would represent officers in this light. But Lopez and Eden have since talked and are now on the same page.
