CHICAGO (AP) — Maybe it was the extra rest, or another raucous crowd at the United Center. Maybe it was just the resumption of one of the NHL's biggest rivalries.
Whatever it was, the Chicago Blackhawks finally found that extra gear they talked about for days.
Johnny Oduya and Marcus Kruger scored in the third period, Corey Crawford made 20 saves and the Blackhawks beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 in the opener of their second-round playoff series Wednesday night.
"Much better from our prior series," coach Joel Quenneville said. "I thought what we're talking about in our team game was in place. Had some pace, had some speed, zone time, and I thought everybody contributed."
In the wake of Chicago's five-game victory over Minnesota in the first round, Quenneville talked about a higher level of intensity, and each of his biggest stars echoed his comments. The response was a dominant final two periods in the Blackhawks' first game in the Western Conference semifinals since they won the Stanley Cup in 2010.
Marian Hossa had the opening goal in the first, and Patrick Sharp finished with an empty-netter and two assists to give him nine points in the postseason.
"I thought it was our best game of the playoffs, no question," Sharp said.
Jimmy Howard had 38 stops in a terrific performance, but Detroit still lost to rival Chicago for the eighth straight time dating to last season.
"I think in the first it was pretty even, but then I think in the second and third they looked like they had a little more energy than we did," Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg said. "It's going to be nice to have a day off tomorrow and practice and then looking forward to Game 2."
The series resumes on Saturday afternoon at the United Center.
The 75th all-time playoff game between the Blackhawks and Red Wings was tied at 1 after two periods, and Howard made a great stop on a breakaway by Dave Bolland 4½ minutes into the third.
Chicago kept working and went in front to stay on a heady play by Oduya. He drifted in from the point and sent Sharp's pass past Howard on the glove side with 12 minutes left.
"Getting the win is the only thing that actually matters," Oduya said. "Like I said, anyone could have scored that goal at that point. We had a lot of chances and I'm lucky I got it in there."
Kruger then jumped on a loose puck and sent a backhander into the upper right corner to make it 3-1. That was more than enough for Crawford, who caught a break when Damien Brunner's rebound attempt went off the crossbar and straight down before Brent Seabrook swept it away with about three minutes left.
The opener of the 16th playoff series between the Original Six teams was the first game for Chicago since it eliminated Minnesota last Thursday. Detroit closed out Anaheim with a 3-2 win in Game 7 on Sunday night, taking the final two games of the series against the second-seeded Ducks.
Despite the long break, there was no sign of rust for the Blackhawks. The Red Wings skated right with Chicago at the start, but they couldn't keep up at the end of the game and coach Mike Babcock said they were looking forward to a day off.
"We're not trying to take anything away from them," he said. "They were better than us. The score tonight was more than fair as far as I'm concerned. They were better."
The Blackhawks struck first in the first playoff game between the teams since Detroit won the 2009 Western Conference final. With Gustav Nyquist in the box for hooking, Sharp forced a turnover along the boards and Jonathan Toews sent the puck to Hossa, who one-timed it past Howard at 9:03.
Detroit needed less than two minutes to respond, tying it when Brunner poked in a rebound for his third career playoff goal. The rookie center also contributed three assists in the first round against the Ducks.
The Blackhawks killed off two power plays created by penalties on Andrew Shaw. They killed off another one when Nick Leddy was sent off for delay of game in the second period, making them a perfect 20 for 20 on the penalty kill in the postseason and sinking Detroit to 1 for 18 on power plays against Chicago, including the regular season.
"We know that we're a much better team than this," Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. "The second and third period were not nearly good enough. We know we're better than this, so we have to find to get better here for Game 2."
NOTES: It was the 800th game between the teams. ... Detroit F Justin Abdelkader was shaken up after he collided with Blackhawks D Michal Rozsival in the first period. He was helped to the bench after a few moments down on the ice, but eventually returned to the game. ... Blackhawks F Viktor Stalberg was a healthy scratch. Quenneville said it was a "coach's decision" and Stalberg could get back on the ice at any point. ... Toews and Pavel Datsyuk of the Red Wings joined Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins as finalists for the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the NHL's best defensive forward. ... Chicago won eight of the previous 15 playoff series against Detroit.
CHICAGO (AP) — Maybe it was the extra rest, or another raucous crowd at the United Center. Maybe it was just the resumption of one of the NHL's biggest rivalries.

|Killer bunny? From Gorleston Psalter, 14th-century manuscript.
Happy Easter! Even though I grew up Jewish and had no idea what a Resurrection was, I knew I liked bunnies, chocolate, treating eggs like an art project, and finding buried treasure in foliage. I was sold on the whole Easter thing. As I matured at some point in the not too distant past, I realized that there was a whole lot more to Easter than baskets full of candy and huge hats. I learned that it was also about birth and rebirth. The symbolism of eggs, Jesus's triumphant return from the dead, and bunnies multiplying like, well, bunnies all lead us to appreciate the foundation of it all: Spring Equinox, the renewal of life on earth. I'm not sure where the chocolate fits in, but I'm not going to question a good thing.
In honor of everyone who can appreciate longer and brighter days, the rejuvenation of all life on earth, and deadly killer rabbits, I bring you this non-denominational Easter-time movie list for all...
Rebel Without A Cause
Nicholas Ray's 1955 magnum opus of teen angst is considered by most to be the first sensitive and realistic look at troubled, misunderstood youth. Would we have those heart-breaking scene's of Bender (Judd Nelson), Claire (Molly Ringwald), and the gang discussing their troubled home lives in The Breakfast Club without Rebel Without A Cause? I think not. The opening scene in Rebel is set in a police station on Easter night where three high school kids -- Jim Stark (James Dean), Judy (Natalie Wood), and Plato (Sal Mineo) -- meet and an unlikely friendship is born. Much drama and generation gap struggles ensue, ultimately leading to one of the character's death by the hands of the police. Rebel remains James Dean's most celebrated film. It was released a month after his death at the age of 24, thus immortalizing him as a beautiful youth forever.

Few things are more important to a secure and dignified retirement than Social Security. It plays a large role in the economic well-being of Latinos. According to the President's Council of Economic Advisers, Latino and African American households have significantly less in retirement savings than white households, and about half of elderly Latinos receive more than 90 percent of their income from Social Security.
President Obama has pressed consistently to ensure that Latinos, and all Americans, recover from the lingering economic depression so that they can have a strong foundation for retirement. At the 2015 White House Conference on Aging, he pointed out in his remarks that every budget request submitted to Congress has included a proposal to automatically enroll workers without access to a workplace retirement plan in an IRA. Soon after that, the U.S. Department of the Treasury launched myRA, a simple, safe, and affordable new savings option for those who don't have access to a retirement savings plan at work.
Regardless of the efforts of President Obama and others, the responsibility to save for retirement is on each of us. Social Security offers a basic level of protection, but it was never meant to be the only source of post-retirement income. Unfortunately, only 27 percent of Latinos between the ages of 21 and 63 participate in an employment-based retirement plan.
Our retirement security depends on us making a commitment to put money away, particularly at the beginning of our careers. A 25-year-old who begins saving $100 a month and earns five percent interest will have more than $150,000 at the age of 65.
During Hispanic Heritage Month, one of the things we can celebrate is the economic progress of Latinos in this country. The latest Census data states that in 2015 Latinos saw the fastest growth in median household income and access to health insurance coverage and the largest declines in poverty rates. To continue that progress, we must also think about how we create safe and secure retirements for ourselves and for our families. President Obama has said, "If you've worked hard all your life, you deserve a secure retirement." Social Security does its part in securing your today and tomorrow, but this means we should do our part and take advantage of the opportunities that allow us to save to make sure we have a dignified retirement.

text: Variational image processing translates image processing tasks into optimisation problems. The practical success of this approach depends on the type of optimisation problem and on the properties of the ensuing algorithm. A recent breakthrough was to realise that old first-order optimisation algorithms based on operator splitting are particularly suited for modern data analysis problems. Operator splitting techniques decouple complex optimisation problems into many smaller and simpler sub-problems. In this talk I will revise the variational segmentation problem and a common family of algorithms to solve such optimisation problems. I will show that operator splitting leads to a divide-and-conquer strategy that allows to derive simple and massively parallel updates suitable for GPU implementations. The technique decouples the likelihood from the prior term and allows to use a data-driven model estimating the likelihood from data, using for example deep learning. Using a different decoupling strategy together with general consensus optimisation leads to fully distributed algorithms especially suitable for large-scale segmentation problems. Motivating applications are 3d yeast-cell reconstruction and segmentation of histology data.

Le RévélateurCA
Roger Tellier-Craig's musical past is profoundly rooted in Montreal's underground scene – there was iconic rock outfit Godspeed You! Black Emperor, of which he was a member until 2003, as well as the duo Et Sans, which he worked on alongside Alexandre St-Onge. With Le Révélateur, which started out as a solo venture before expanding into an audio-visual duo with video artist Sabrina Ratté, he conjures up a truly cosmic electronic universe, full of chromatic aberrations, krautrock apparitions, and cascades of incandescent synth arpeggios. In 2011, he released Fictions on the Gneiss Things imprint, while a DVD featuring video pieces by Ratté for each composition was also released on Root Strata.

Sweetened drinks linked to depression in adults
Coffee drinkers have lower risk, study says
Drinking a lot of soda may cost you more than calories and cavities.
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health looked at the beverage consumption of thousands of people between the ages of 50 and 71 over the course of one year.
Checking back about 10 years later, they found that those who drank more than four cans or cups of soda per day were 30 percent more likely to have been diagnosed with depression than those who drank no soda.
Those who drank four cans of fruit punch per day were about 38 percent more likely to have been diagnosed with depression than those who drank no sweetened drinks.
The risk of depression appeared to be greater for those who drank diet versions of the beverages.
By contrast, those who drank four cups of coffee a day were about 10 percent less likely to have had a diagnosis of depression than those who drank no coffee.

Snap o' the Day: Dems a votin'
Charlottesville Democratic voters line up Saturday morning, May 9, to vote in the City Democratic primary at the one and only election spot, Jackson P. Burley Middle School on Rose Hill Drive. A heckling photographer's shouts of "Vote Republican" and "Sarah Palin rocks" had no effect on the queue of patient voters. Citizens had until 7pm to vote.
Update: Various media are reporting that incumbent City Councilor Julian Taliaferro was ousted for the nomination as newcomer Kristin Szakos and Mayor/Councilor Dave Norris got the two Council nominations. Meanwhile, the three-way race for the sheriff's nomination went to James E. Brown III.
More Snaps
9 comments
Citizen, Go FOR IT! We're waiting.
I think Mr. T. would have won had he supported the people and proposal to save the park and keep the road away. Didn't happen. BYE BYE
and if he had supported Dave Norris for Mayor.
Agreed Citizen. Seems Mr. T. dug his own grave.
In addition to a few other skeletons in the closet being discussed around town, Baird could perhaps still have won if he hadn't given the appearance of hitching his horse to the back of Taliaferro's wagon.
On the other hand though, I heard reliabe informaion via the grapevine this morning that the Norris and Szakos team were pretty much supporting James Brown. It seems the old guard in the local Democratic party lost control of this nomination process a long time ago.
At any rate, I am simply tickled to death with the outcome of the nomination results... and I am enjoying the grapevine discussions now just as much. :)
Any moderate electable Republican want to throw their hat in --bet they'd win ?
A Republican could probably run circles around David Brown if he were running, but I think Norris would help Szakos immensely in this contest. I'm still not sure I'm excited about having Szakos on council, but thank God Taliaferro will be going! Second only to Brown in terms of unnecessary.
This picture is now somewhat ironic now. It shows no campaign signs except from the 2 losers.
Hey Sick, YOU are right on! It seems the others didn't "get it" a long time ago, and "they LOST". Seems they would have sought better advice. Didn't happen.

-- Hosted by Actress Charisma Carpenter, Herself the Survivor of a Near-Fatal Attack,
SURVIVING EVIL Premieres August 28 at 10/9c on Investigation Discovery --
(Beverly Hills, CA) - What would you do if you were attacked, abducted, abused, your life suddenly in the hands of a cold-blooded criminal, and you are your only hope for survival? Investigation Discovery's new series SURVIVING EVIL presents stories of victims who fought back against their attackers and, against all odds, survived. Recounted in each survivor's own words, the series is an empowering and inspiring look at true-crime stories in which the victim turns the table on their assailant in order to stay alive. Actress Charisma Carpenter, best known for her role as Cordelia Chase on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel, hosts the 10-episode series, providing viewers with a first-person point of view as the survivor of a near-fatal incident endured when she was 22 years old. The world premiere of SURVIVING EVIL debuts with Carpenter's episode on Wednesday, August 28 at 10/9c, only on Investigation Discovery.
"The stories in SURVIVING EVIL sound like a terrible nightmare, but the tales are all true and, thankfully, the victims all heroically survived," said Kevin Bennett, general manager of Investigation Discovery. "Investigation Discovery is humbled by Charisma's courage and honored to have her host this new series where she can uniquely share her personal perspective as a fellow survivor. It is our hope that SURVIVING EVIL will give a voice to people who have suffered through the unimaginable and provide a vehicle for them to tell their remarkable stories of courage."
"SURVIVING EVIL is about finding empowerment in the face of evil and taking fate into your own hands at a moment when all hope seems lost," said Carpenter. "Through sharing my story and shedding light on the fearlessness of many others, it is my hope that someone watching this program may be inspired to find the strength to survive their own personal battle, whether it's an abusive relationship or the grips of an attacker."
The series premieres on Wednesday, August 28 at 10/9c with Carpenter's story of terror transforming into triumph. The actress and two friends were swimming at San Diego's Torrey Pines State Beach in 1991 when they were violently attacked by an armed, rogue police officer. Carpenter fought for her survival after being held at gunpoint, but her two friends were both shot by the attacker and seriously wounded. The police officer was sentenced to 56 years in prison for the attacks in addition to a series of rapes and robberies.
In support of SURVIVING EVIL's premiere, Carpenter will also be featured in a public service announcement in partnership with the National Center for Victims of Crime, providing resources to individuals, families, and communities harmed by crime. The PSA airs as part of Investigation Discovery's public affairs initiative, Inspire a Difference. Launched in April, Inspire a Difference weaves together ID's ongoing national awareness efforts around civil rights, wrongful convictions, and violence against women under one informative and inspiring banner designed to empower viewers to make an impact in their own communities.

Mark Zuckerberg is angry that the National Security Agency is violating Facebook users' privacy, which is a bit like the Silicon Valley equivalent of "Get your government hands off my Medicare." He thinks users should be upset about this, too.
But you know what? I'm not particularly fazed.
Rather than having a turf war over who gets to surveil whom, maybe Facebook and the NSA should team up. The NSA probably already has a rich database of my calls, texts, travels, toenail clippings and repressed childhood memories; maybe, aided by such additional Big Data, Facebook could finally figure out how to show me ads for things I actually want to buy.
Allegedly the best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click on ads (well, that or how to help teenagers swap naked pictures of themselves). But if the ads I'm seeing today represent our best minds' best work with the best Big Data available, color me unimpressed.
The department store pioneer John Wanamaker famously said he knew that half of his advertising budget was wasted but he didn't know which half. Even that dour assessment dramatically overestimates the efficacy of modern advertising. Today, of all online display ads, the share that gets clicked on is not 1 in 2; it's somewhere between 1 in 500 and 1 in 1,000, according to marketing analysts and some of the ad networks themselves.
That's a pretty lousy batting average. Yet if you consider the number of times you have clicked on or even noticed an online ad supposedly curated just for you, these numbers may not be surprising. They certainly didn't astonish me. Facebook, despite being able to track what music I like, where I've vacationed, which Wikipedia rabbit holes I've fallen down and what embarrassing hypochondriacal ailments I've googled (Are those bedbug bites? Do I have mono again and, if so, did my spleen just explode?), has strange beliefs about who I am and what I'd be interested in buying.
For a while last year, I was seeing a lot of ads for Mormon dating services. "Meet local Mormon singles just like you!" Facebook urged, not realizing that I was in a relationship and, perhaps also relevant, not Mormon. Just a few weeks later, I was seeing ads for discount engagement rings. A few weeks after that, Facebook plastered my feeds with ads for diapers and child-care services.
Dang, I thought, Facebook thinks I move fast. All that was missing from this ad sequence were the shells for my father's shotgun.
The ads I've seen since then (on Facebook, Google Display Network sites and other highly algorithmic advertising platforms) exhibit less narrative, alas, but are equally unhelpful.
Online ads served to me usually fall into one of two categories: things that leave me feeling intensely, uncomfortably judged — teeth-whitening, weight-loss or hair-removal products — or things I already own and do not intend to duplicate. For example, the boots I bought on Zappos (but not socks, waterproofing spray or other complementary products I might actually want), the credit card I use, Broadway shows I've seen, the hotel I just booked.
Likewise, my significant other sees ads from test-prep companies offering to help him gain admission to a university from which he already has a degree . Someday, the ads promise, he might even get accepted to the school where he currently teaches .
Remember, these are the ads curated specifically for our clicking and consumption pleasure by firms that have their pick of the world's greatest talent and where even interns draw salaries of about $75,000 annualized. So if one in 1,000 is the batting average in Silicon Valley, I cannot even imagine what it is at the super-secretive NSA — where the highest-paid workers make about as much as the mid-tier employees at a place such as Facebook, where HR can't import bunches of talented H-1B visa holders and where the mission is more complicated and diffuse than "get people to click and then maybe buy stuff."
Excuse me, then, if I'm skeptical about the greater social welfare benefits that come from secretly collecting infinite reams of private citizens' data — benefits supposedly calibrated to outweigh the costs of intrusion and distrust. (What good is ubiquitous surveillance if, after more than a week, the world still can't find a missing 777?) Maybe tech firms and government agencies need to hoover up ever more data about my indecipherable mutterings to my cat. Or maybe they need to start proving they're doing something useful with the invasive data they already have.
