INSPIRE – International Network for Simulation-based Pediatric Innovation, Research, and Education : Free Support Community
Today an introduction to INSPIRE: International Network for Simulation-based Pediatric Innovation, Research, and Education, a free resource and support group for healthcare simulation champions looking to improve patient care outcomes. This is an incredible resource and should be shared as much as possible! Connect with these groups at IMSH or IPSSW in 2015.
About INSPIRE:
Sponsored Content:
The International Network for Simulation-based Pediatric Innovation, Research, and Education is a rapidly growing, open research network designed to connect and mentor experts and novices across the world in answering important questions on pediatric care through the use of simulation. The INSPIRE Network formed in 2011 from a large group of simulation-based researchers from a variety of disciplines and specialties looking to improve collaboration, mentorship, and productivity. We merged two large-scale research networks, EXPRESS and POISE, into INSPIRE in 2011. We are not a formal academic society; rather, we are a bottom-up, grassroots organization that has formed to meet the needs of the rapidly changing landscape of pediatric simulation research.
As of March 13, 2014, INSPIRE maintains an active membership of over 500 simulation enthusiasts across the world in over 26 countries. We represent the disciplines of medicine, nursing, allied health, pre-hospital care, psychology, engineering, public health, and education. Although a large number of us work in pediatrics and related pediatric subspecialties, we also have non-healthcare members and those in other medical specialties – including emergency medicine, obstetrics / gynecology, and surgery. There are no membership fees or ceremonies. We simply want to do good research and outreach and to help others do the same. Joining is free, and anyone with study ideas looking for guidance or additional sites, or simply an interest in joining a study is welcome to join by emailing us. We do have centralized processes to review study ideas and provide feedback and/or support.

Are you headed to IMSH or IPSSW 2015 events?
An INSPIRE @ IMSH or INSPIRE @ IPSSW takes an entire day, in which multiple ALERT presentations of varying different stages of development – some studies barely in the brainstorming phase, and others already completing and looking for the next steps – will get presented. The focus of the meetings, though, is less about the presentations, and more about active participations. We devote over 60% of the meeting time for your projects. We divide up into small teams, gather experts, allow networking, and generally develop your projects forward.

Today the Scottish public vote whether to become an independent nation or stay in the United Kingdom. Good luck to them, whatever they decide.
Here we see Scotland's First Minister Alexander Salmond in the guise of Robert the Bruce, the 13th century King of Scotland. There's a bloody history between Scotland and England, a history that's deeply embedded in the Scottish psyche;
"Do you remember Bannockburn?" is a question frequently asked to any Englishman foolish enough to stumble into a Highland pub.
700 years ago Robert the Bruce defeated the King of England Edward II at the Battle of Bannockburn, will Scotland's First Minister be equally victorious today?
The Scottish public decides!

Preston Auditorium, The World Bank
1818 H Street, NW
Washington, D.C., 20433
Across the developing world, the growth of cities is outpacing effective policy. Low density land use results in rapidly expanding cities, raising the costs of infrastructure and service provision and limiting liveability and productivity. At the same time, limited investments in transport infrastructure such as roads limits the connectivity between individuals and opportunities that make cities engines for growth. Effective policy to address these challenges requires an understanding of the spatial organisation of cities, and how the distribution of private and public investments across a city affect economic growth.
On 7 September 2018, the 5th Urbanization and Poverty Reduction Conference will bring together academics and development practitioners to present and discuss questions relating to the spatial organisation of cities and economic growth. In particular, the conference will be focusing on effective land and transport policy in cities and the implications of urban development for national growth. This conference is hosted by the World Bank (Development Research Group), George Washington University (Institute for International Economic Policy), the International Monetary Fund, and the International Growth Centre.

Indoor nonindustrial work environments were designated a priority research area through the nationwide stakeholder process that created the National Occupational Research Agenda. A multidisciplinary research team used member consensus and quantitative estimates, with extensive external review, to develop a specific research agenda. The team outlined the following priority research topics: building-influenced communicable respiratory infections, building-related asthma/allergic diseases, and nonspecific building-related symptoms; indoor environmental science; and methods for increasing implementation of healthful building practices. Available data suggest that improving building environments may result in health benefits for more than 15 million of the 89 million US indoor workers, with estimated economic benefits of $5 to $75 billion annually.

When my girls were little we would read book after book. I always seemed to have my favorites though because of the way they would point their little fingers at the pictures or would anticipate the next page and help me "read," being they knew the story so well.
Karen Lockhart created an adorable IB Goodnight Moon with this last release and the memories came flooding back when I first saw the image. One of our favorite books was "Guess How Much I Love You." So today I created this little card to give to Katrina as her "after birthday card." Sometimes no matter how hard I try to get it "all" done I seem to fail, so this year I decided that an after birthday card is just as special as an on her birthday card Ü
Using papers from the Sweetbay Memory Box collection I created the little foursome representing our family. Being I didn't have the exact sentiment I wanted I opted to use a journaling box and penned the sentence from one of our old favorite books on to my label using my Copic multiliner. I stamped, colored and cut out the IB Goodnight Moon and popped it off the surface of the label.
Using the Stardust glitter pen I added just a few stars behind the moon, added a little bling to the "ribbon" and balanced the bottom corner with a few gemstones in a coordinating green to the Prismacolor pencil colors I used on the moon and "ribbon."
We now are reading Roald Dahl books, but I think I'm going to pull out this old favorite book and give Trina this card tomorrow night when we have a chance to sit and read together again and I can share the story with her about how she once would "read" our favorite story with me. I'm not certain what's up with all the sentimental "mutterings" as of late, but I hope that you don't mind me sharing this part of my life and creative process with you. Thanks for stopping by to share in my life.

The May 8 edition of ESPN Friday Night Fights presented by Corona Extra and ESPN Deportes' Noche de Combatespresentadopor Corona Extra will feature veteran heavyweight Amir "Hardcore" Mansour (21-1, 16 KOs) and up-and- coming Joey "The Tank" Dawejko (14-3-2, 7 KOs) in the 10-round main event.
Friday's show from 2300 Arena in Philadelphia will air live at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN2, broadband Spanish-language ESPN Deportes+ and WatchESPN. ESPN Deportes will televise Friday's fights on Saturday, May 9, at 3 p.m. The card is presented by Peltz Boxing.
Joe Tessitore will be ringside with analyst Teddy Atlas describing the action for ESPN2, while studio host Todd Grisham will provide the latest boxing news and information. Pablo Viruega and Delvin Rodríguez will call the fights for Noche de Combates on both ESPN Deportes and ESPN Deportes+, while Leopoldo González and Claudia Trejos will co-anchor the studio. Bilingual reporter Bernardo Osuna will provide live interviews and reports for both shows.
Main Event:
In his last fight, New Jersey's Mansour scored a seventh-round knockout win over Fred Kassi, while Philadelphia's Dawejko is looking to continue his winning ways following a first-round knockout win over Enobong Umohette.
"My style, I know how to adjust to whatever is going on in the ring – ring generalship, power, speed," Mansour said. "I can really do it all. When I'm in the ring, I feel like I can do anything."
Added Dawejko, "I guess you could say I'm a boxer-puncher, or a puncher-boxer. I could do it all."
Friday's eight-round co-feature will pit veteran middleweight DeCarlo "3mendo" Perez (13-3-1, 5 KOs) against Jesse "The Beast" Nicklow (24-5-3, 8 KOs). In his last fight, DeCarlo, who hails from New Jersey, scored a fifth-round TKO win over Tyrone Brunson, while Maryland's Nicklow is looking to rebound from a unanimous decision loss to 2012 Olympic gold medalist Ryota Murata.

Some time ago I published my first article on making bitters. Which basically gives you everything you need to create your own style of bitters. However, there are also defunct bitters out there and some people would like to know what they taste like. Of course, all attempts at recreating them will never resemble the original to 100 %, but still you will come closer to a recipe calling for them as with bitters you can buy.
Now in this case I am not talking about fancy vintage bitters like Abbott's Bitters or Hermes Orange Bitters. Instead I received an email of an avid reader, that he was in search for the not longer available Dr. Heather Duncan Christmas Bitters. His question was, if I could post a recipe how to make them yourself. Now, before I start telling you how to make them I have to tell you two things beforehand. First, as already mentioned this recipe will not taste like the original bitters you could have bought, but instead has a similar flavour. Second, I only made them out of curiosity if I could produce tasty bitters suitable for Christmas, not out of any commercial reasons. Third, no I will not continue to make every request for ingredients I get…
Elf's work research
To even get the chance to replicate the flavour of the Christmas Bitters produced by Dr. Elmegirab I first had to do a little research. Luckily, you will find quite a lot of information on the ingredients at different websites – despite the fact that it is supposed to be secret ingredient. The first thing I found out was that the bitters were invented by Dr. Heather Duncan after hearing a lecture from Dr. Elmegirab on producing bitters. After the lecture she went to him and told him that she thought that she can make her own bitters. He replied: "You could not make bitters", which just inspired Dr. Duncan more to proof him wrong. After a while she came up with a recipe that was so good, that Dr. Elmegirab just had to produce them in larger batches and sell them as a limited release. As Dr. Elmegirab tells on his blog he first neglected the project, but after a while "elfs" started to just producing them without him.
Basically, spiced rum
As the headline already describes the spirit base for the bitters is overproof rum, which is enhanced with quite a few ingredients. All in all, the ingredients list reads like a recipe for fruit bread. There are berries, citrus fruits, port and spices. Let's start with the so called bittering agent: The only hint we get from the product description is that there are three roots used for bitterness. Since the overall result is said to taste like ginger bread I just went ahead and choose one of those roots to be ginger. The two other roots I had on hand were galangal and gentian, so I just threw them in the mix as well. When it comes to the ingredients things get a bit easier, because basically all the them are listed on different websites. This means that also allspice, cacao, cloves, cinnamon, cranberries, lemon peel, mace, nutmeg, orange peel, raisins and star anise are used in the mix. One thing to keep in mind though is that you will not find the quantities anywhere, this means that a bit of experimenting is in order!
Let's recall some ground rules
As I said, I already told you the basic rules when it comes to making bitters in the old article. Yet, let us just take a quick look at the most important rules. First, use clean glassware, which actually should be a no-brainer, but still. The easiest way to make sure is to wash each individual container with boiling water before you add the ingredients. However, to prevent any lawsuits here I am of course obligated to tell you that you should be careful when handling boiling water – it is very, very hot after all! Second, use different containers and infuse the botanicals separately if possible. This one might even be the most important thing to keep in mind, because each individual ingredient will take different time to release its flavour to the alcohol. In this case it took the gentian only 20 min to give the rum quite a bitter punch, anything more would have probably been too much. Now, I have to admit that I'm a little hypocrite when telling you this, because this time I did not have enough empty containers on hand. So, I through all the spices and the 99 % cacao bar into one preserving jar. This resulted in a very spicy, but less chocolate like taste of the infusion. Also, I just used one container for the galangal and ginger which I could have spotted as a mistake right away because the former was already dried and the ginger fresh… Bellow you find the different infusions I used to create the bitters. Luckily I timed the maceration times so that I could use all of the remaining liquid and just mix them in a large bowl.
Augustine-Bar Christmas Bitters:
|20 g Cranberries
|50 ml Lemon Hart 151 Overproof Rum
|Infusion Time:
|4 Days
|20 g Rasins
|50 ml Lemon Hart 151 Overproof Rum
|Infusion Time:
|4 Days
| 2 Sticks Cinnamon
5 Cloves
10 Allspice Berries
2 Star Anise
Heat the above ingredients in a pan without oil – slightly roast – muddle them in a mortar;
< 1 g Nutmeg
2 g Mace
15 g Cacao Nibs (Substituted With 99 % Cacao Bar)
|105 ml Lemon Hart 151 Overproof Rum
|Infusion Time:
|4 Days
| 10 g Sweet Orange Peel
5 g Lemon Peel (Substituted With Lemon Grass)
|70 ml Lemon Hart 151 Overproof Rum
|Infusion Time:
|2 Days
|5 g Gentian Root
|5 ml Lemon Hart 151 Overproof Rum
|Infusion Time:
|20 Minutes
| 10 g Roughly Muddled Dried Galangal
20 g Fresh Ginger
|5 ml Lemon Hart 151 Overproof Rum
|Infusion Time:
|2 Days (Galangal) 4 Days Ginger Macerate separately!
|5 g Muddled Green Coriander Seeds
|5 ml Lemon Hart 151 Overproof Rum
|Infusion Time:
|A few hours
It should be a no-brainer that you try your different infusions every day and a daily shake could also do no harm. When you are happy with the individual results you should strain your infusions and mix them. My advise here is to start with the least powerful or the best tasting liquid and work your way to the more powerful and bitter infusions. As I mentioned earlier in my case I got the times right and could use all the liquid there was left in the containers. Afterwards I added 50 ml of water and 100 ml ten year old Tawny Port to bring the bitters to "drinking strength" and to smooth out the taste a bit. Usually there a no recipes using your homemade bitters and you have to come up with your own. However, in this case there are some recipes out there who call for the Dr. Heather Duncan Christmas Bitters.

There is no effective difference between a sequence of requests with time-outs per request and a batch request with time-outs per read. The server still has to accumulate requests in storage and is subject to the same service problems with stateful behavior. ...snip... ....Roy That's completely false. Last first. The only way to eliminate state on the server that must be maintained between method calls ("stateful behavior") is to do the entire transaction during one method call. Period. Going over the network multiple times for multiple method calls clearly consumes more computing resources and elapsed time than making a single method call. There is more overhead on the client (which doesn't matter) and the server (which matters a lot). That's really obvious. But where client application programmers can really kill the performance of the entire system is by introducing the possibility of user think time into the middle of a transaction. That is only possible when the transaction can consist of multiple method calls: Between the method calls, the resources changed have to be locked on the server. (Otherwise, you wouldn't have a transaction, because it would have the ACID properties.) If a resource that is needed is locked by another concurrent transaction, your transaction has to wait. If you wait, you have to worry about waiting forever. DBMS's typically solve that problem by doing deadlock analysis and picking a transaction to abort and rollback, if necessary. The method call can not return until the waiting, if any, is finished. Some remote systems don't do deadlock analysis -- they time out. Timing out has a terrible impact on performance if it happens more than rarely. Let me give you a real life example that actually happened to me. I was checking in at the gate on a flight and requesting a seat assignment. The attendant pulled up a screen showing the availability of the kind of seat I wanted. In the few seconds during which he said "Yes, we can satisfy your request" and I said "OK, do it", the seat disappeared, and he had to say, "Sorry, the assignment failed, try again.". The reason that happened is that there were two complete transactions involved, not one. The first transaction was a retrieval of the seat availability of the entire plane. The second was the update transaction. In between the transactions, another transaction got in there. If you provide the ability to do the retrieval as the first part of the transaction (i.e., as a method call), all the seats on the airplane will have to stay locked while I make up my mind. Then throughput would be so terrible that it would be unacceptable. No one else in the country could get a seat assignment on that plane while I was deciding what to do. Unfortunately, I know from plenty of personal experience that that is exactly the way most client application programmers will initially try to program it. Programming it that way will allow them to "shoot themselves in the foot". Not allowing that (by requiring that transactions be a single method call) will prevent the performance disaster (as well as eliminate stateful behavior on the server). In any case, it is completely false that there is no performance difference. Alan BabichReceived on Wednesday, 11 September 2002 17:04:40 UTC

I am in awe of the energy, patience, and planning that Herculean task involves—not to mention adding running to the mix. Ruthanne, 34, completed her first half-marathon on March 31, with her husband by her side and their five kids waiting with high-5s at the finish line. Check her out.
Best recent run: My husband and I just celebrated 15 years of marriage. As part of our anniversary weekend getaway, we did a six-mile run through a beautiful part of the city. Parts of it were along the river with lots of trails. It was a beautiful spring day. I loved being outside and chatting with my husband without interruptions, all while doing something we both enjoy. I didn't worry about my pace and just ran for fun.
Eclectic means to me: I started blogging four years ago on a whim. I had absolutely zero purpose for blogging. (Honestly, I'm still not sure I have a purpose!) I have lots of varied interests, and I wanted to choose a name that would give me the freedom to go in whatever direction I wanted. I've talked about many things over the years: homeschooling, owning a handmade shop, Jack Bauer (come back, Jack!), my warm fond feelings of affection for coffee, photography, losing more than 70 pounds, and most recently, running.
That first 20-minute run: On August 15, 2011, I began the C25K program. I struggled and wheezed my way through intervals of 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking; my heart and legs were screaming at me. As the weeks passed, I looked toward that first 20-minute run. When the day came, I somehow propelled my body forward for those 20 minutes. I'm sure any neighbors who happened to see me were wondering if they should cheer for me or call 911! It wasn't pretty, but I did it.
Half with my man: In week nine of my twelve-week training schedule for a recent half-marathon, my man decided to run the race with me. I was thrilled! During the race, he was constantly checking on me to make sure I was still sweating (we had a scary training run where I became severely dehydrated), refilling my water bottle when I was getting low, and making sure I was refueling. He was also a fabulous encourager. He kept me moving and focused on the ultimate prize--our children waiting for us at the finish line. (Yeah, I think he's pretty amazing.)
Home is where the school is: We've been homeschooling for more than 12 years. Our homeschool is a team effort as we both have flexible work schedules; I never have the feeling I'm in this venture alone. My man is in charge of math, French, and anything else I need to throw his way on any given day. I'm in charge of everything else. We love the flexibility it affords us. Since I've taken up running, we run together as a family two mornings a week as part of their physical education. I love that!
Inner voice: I'm surrounded by some talented and amazing runners. My neighbor, my pastor, my husband, and some of my girlfriends are all graced with the gift of speed. There are times I want to run as fast as they do, and I become frustrated with what I perceive as my lack of progress. I have to remind myself, "Seven months ago you could barely run for 60 seconds!" That being said, I don't believe all comparison is bad when kept in perspective. I'm running for health, life, and the experience of the journey, but that doesn't mean I can't improve along the way.
Can't run without: Without a doubt, my Garmin 405. I have a serious love affair going on with my Garmin. I think it's the best (financial) investment I've made for my running. I also have a pair of Under Armour Capri Pants that feel like butter. Since purchasing them, I won't run in anything else. It's kind of like having steak: Once you've had it, you don't want to go back to peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches.

From the Trianon Health and Beauty Blog:
I've mentioned this before, but it truly can't be said enough. In my twenties, I frequently went to bed without washing my face (let alone using a toner), and it wasn't until a few years ago that I got into a routine of washing my face with any regularity. As soon as I started washing my face every evening—not just in the shower in the morning—I immediately noticed my complexion brighten. (Read more.)Share

French Media conglomerate Vivendi has been attempting a very public hostile takeover of Ubisoft for the better part of 2016. A recent announcement shows Vivendi is very close to achieving their goal, owning nearly a quarter of Ubisoft stock.
Ubisoft has spent the whole year fighting off the takeover, buying mobile game company Ketchapp, and purchasing 137.5 million dollars of its own stock from a French investment bank. Vivendi, not daunted by Ubisoft's best efforts to remain independent, announced it now had ownership of 24.059 percent of Ubisoft stock. This is up from the last public release when Vivendi owned 22.5 percent of Ubisoft stock.
In a company, whoever owns majority stock has the most voting power in company board decisions. As of this time, Vivendi has 21.96 percent voting power in Ubisoft. Once Vivendi owns the majority of stock in Ubisoft, and majority voting power, they will have the voting power to merge Vivendi and Ubisoft. Once this happens, Vivendi will have the ability to fire Ubisoft's chairman, CEO, and founder, Yves Guillemot.
The news initially spread when industry analyst Daniel Ahmad announced the investors release on twitter.
Vivendi has been inching closer and closer to a majority stock ownership throughout the year, owning around 20% in June. Ubisoft has had support from all sides against Vivendi, having gained the support of investors from Canada.
In an E3 2016 conference, Guillemot told investors Ubisoft could grow without Vivendi. Those claims may be true, as Ubisoft's fiscal first-quarter sales had increased 44 percent to 139.1 million euros, or 153 million dollars. This money, mostly as a result of the 330 million dollars in earnings from this year's The Division, has and will continue to be necessary in fighting off Vivendi's buying up of Ubisoft stock.

This weekend, I made to breads that I do from time to time- Challah bread, and bread with half whole wheat.
This specific Challah recipe comes out good, but notice that it has a fairly strong buttery taste (I don't know if it good or bad…), but just keep in mind.
The half whole-wheat bread is a great recipe, which never lets me down. Every time I make it; I put a verity of things in it. I especially like adding all sorts of nuts, but sun dried tomatoes, or even all kind of seeds would be just fine.
Challah/ Bread Book by Hilit Rinon-Hamo (makes one large challah)
7 gr. Active dry yeast (or 20 gr. Fresh yeast)
200 ml. water
500 gr. Flour
2 teaspoons salt (20 gr.)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
75 gr. Butter, melted
1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon water (for brushing)
Mix the yeast and the water. In a separate bowl mix the flour and the salt. Add the water-yeast mixture to the yeast; add the sugar, eggs and butter. Mix to form dough.
Knead for about 5 minutes. (This can also be made in a mixer, with a kneading hook).
Let sit in a covered bowl for an hour. Punch down the dough, and let rise for another hour.
Divide the dough into 3 pieces. Make a challah shape. Put the challah on an oven baking tray (can also be make in a bread pan), and prove for 45 minutes.
Heat the oven to 180 degrees c.
Brush the challah with the yolk and water mixture (you can now sprinkle the challah with sesame or poppy seed), bake for 30 minutes.
Half whole wheat bread/ Yapanit from the Ynet food forum
250 gr. Whole wheat flour
250 gr. Bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
3 tablespoons corn oil (Canola)
1 tablespoon honey
450 ml. water
Mix all the ingredient to form a dough, knead for 5 minutes (by hand, or in mixer).
Let rise in a covered bowl for about an hour, or until the dough doubles his volume.
Shape to desired shape (preferably in a bread pan), and let prove for about an hour.
Bake in a 190 degrees c. preheated (preferably on turbo) oven for 40 minutes- the first 10 minutes with steam, and the rest without.Naama

Dear Everyone,
Wish you were here...
We really really do because after an early shower rainstorm the fine weather has finally arrived and looks set fair for the rest of the weekend we hope, so we will all be topping up our vitamin D levels. Susie Parr swam into our first event and might almost have persuaded me that I could quite possibly do this thing called swimming in a costume in a freezing cold lake/river/sea... absolutely no wetsuits allowed. I'm still thinking on it.
An error in the size of our tent meant that we then had to evacuate our little bijou abode while the tent crew moved in to put up a pavilion-sized palace in its place, and quite amazingly the knitting just carried on to one side regardless. We quickly re-convened and welcomed Tracy Chevalier, author of Girl With a Pearl Earring who talked about and read from her next novel The Last Runaway. I had mistakenly read that as 'Runway' on the website and quite thought this was a novel about airports, so imagine how relieved I was to find it is about the underground slave railway and that quilts play a part in the book. Tracy and I did a little quilt show-and-tell..mine the still unfinished Kayaker's baby quilt (this is me remember) and there was a twenty-nine year old Kayaker taking pics in front of me...some mirth ensued whilse we agreed it was at least a wonderful archive of 1980's Laura Ashley fabrics. Tracy's quilt was beautiful and you will see some pictures in the link at the end of this post.
Fran and Carol have done a valiant job with our Flower Show entry...
We await a verdict tomorrow... This Sceptered Isle (not quite complete in this pic..missing the crown) and we went for a bit of a Coronation theme with a little gaggle of ermine-clad peers with which we were well-pleased.
And Mrs M who blogs at This Sight of Morning has been tweeting wonderfully for us all day so hopefully you have all been able to follow our progress on the feed over here >>>>>>
Big day tomorrow, more authors plus the Vocal Harem set on the Bowling Green stage so must away to my bed...so excited and so much information stored up my brain refused to switch off last night, so tonight it feels about ready for a rest. You will find a Flicker stream of today's pics here... many a funny-face and eyes in need of sleep pour moi, but it will all give you a flavour of the day and my thanks to the Kayaker for the pictures.

SHANGHAI, Oct 14 (Reuters) - A Chinese city government has given 300 million yuan ($43 million) to drug maker Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals, the company said, after it was recently faulted by U.S. and European regulators over production issues at one of its plants.
It described the money as "industrial development assistance funds" in two announcements made through the Shanghai Stock Exchange on Friday and Saturday, but did not say how the funds would be used.
The money was given to Zhejiang Huahai between August and October 11 by the city government of Linhai, where the company is based in the eastern province of Zhejiang, it said on Saturday.
Its public relations department did not respond to telephone calls from Reuters to seek comment on Sunday, a public holiday.
A wholly-owned domestic subsidiary that got some of the money is responsible for drug research and development, manufacturing and the import and export of materials and technologies, Huahai said in its 2017 annual report in March.
Chinese corporate records do not list an official English name for the subsidiary, which translates as Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical Science and Technology.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently barred the import of drug ingredients made at Huahai's Chuannan factory, or medicines using such ingredients, following a lengthy inspection of the plant.
The step followed Huahai's announcement to customers and regulators, from late June, that it had found a probable carcinogen in its blood pressure drug valsartan.
European authorities recently suspended authorisation for the factory to make the drug, the website of the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines showed.
Zhejiang Huahai faces several lawsuits in the United States over the valsartan issue, it said this month. Its shares have fallen 35 percent in the last month. (Reporting By Alexandra Harney)

Foreign college athlete rule deemed 'discriminatory'
Recruitment policy shouldn't be purview of sports association, says Holland College vice-president
Holland College is pushing for a relaxation on national rules to allow it to accept more international athletes on its sports teams.
The Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association, the body that regulates college varsity sports, limits the number of foreign players on each team roster. The rule is meant to prevent schools from gaining an unfair advantage.
Michael O'Grady, Holland College vice-president, is back from a recent trip to Ottawa, where he met with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.
He thinks the rules are discriminatory.
"The policy around the recruitment of international students and/or international student athletes is a matter of concern for college and university presidents. Not a national sports association."
It's also a concern for Holland College's men's basketball coach Josh Whitty, who said the rules make recruiting foreign students a challenge.
"Certainly, we have lots of times where there's been more international students interested in playing on the team, where we've either had to cut them or sit them out come game time," said Whitty.
Meanwhile, Samuel Opel, from Kenya, said he's not sure he will be able to shoot hoops with Holland College's basketball team this fall because there's only room for two international players.
"I'd say it's a tough sport for anyone. Everyone has to fight for it, but I'd like for everyone to get a fair chance," said Opel.
The Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association will vote on a motion to extend restrictions to other varsity sports this week.
Holland College and the Civil Liberties Association hope that will be defeated.

Snap Seizes the Moment
Feb 6, 2017 2:05 PM PT
Snap Inc. last week filed for a US$3 billion initial public offering.
The company's private market valuation is $17.8 billion, but investors have valued it at between $20 billion and $25 billion, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
"Twenty-five billion dollars is just nuts, but that's the market we're in," remarked Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.
"This could provide an opportunity for the big gambler investors, but better to watch for the high and then short the stock," he told the E-Commerce Times, because Snap's prospectus "suggests profit will never arrive."
Company revenue last year skyrocketed to $404.5 million, from $59 million in 2015. Losses totaled $514 million last year, compared to $373 million in 2015.
Most of Snapchat's 158 million daily active users, or DAOs, are in the coveted 18 to 34 age group.
"These are the mainstream consumers of tomorrow," noted Andreas Scherer, managing partner at Salto Partners.
That "means it can be the alternative to Facebook and Google that marketers are looking for," he told the E-Commerce Times.
Snap, which has three classes of stock -- A, B and C -- is offering Class A common stock.
"Currently, the stock market's on fire," Scherer said."Even though Snap is nowhere near other companies in this segment at the time of their respective IPOs in terms of revenue and profitability, the time is right for this offering."
Risks Snap Investors face
Among the risk factors Snap has acknowledged are the following:
- Its user demographic is not particularly loyal;
- Its user metrics and other estimates are subject to inherent challenges in measurement;
- The significant competition it faces will intensify;
- Competitors -- including Apple, Facebook and Google -- are better funded, and changes in their OSes or hardware could impact Snap's products adversely;
- Its products require high-bandwidth data networks, so are vulnerable to data usage costs;
- Google Cloud provides the vast majority of Snap's computing, storage, bandwidth and other services, and Google has broad discretion to change and interpret its terms of service and other policies, which could be unfavorable to Snap;
- Switching from Google Cloud to another provider would be difficult to implement and cost significant time and expense;
- Snap has incurred operating losses in the past, expects to do so in the future, and may never achieve or maintain profitability; and
- It has a short operating history and a new business model, which makes it difficult to evaluate its prospects and future financial results, and increases the risk that it will not be successful.
"It's positive that Snap has put together two straight quarters of positive gross profits, which hopefully, combined with the 400 percent year-over-year revenue growth they demonstrated in the December quarter, means they'll eventually have net profits," observed Barry Randall, chief investment officer at Crabtree Asset Management.
However, "it's negative that Snap's cash is disappearing faster than a Snapchat photo," he told the E-Commerce Times. "Their 2016 free cash flow had twice the burn rate of 2015 and was negative to the tune of $678 million."
What Is Snap, Really?
Snap paints itself as a camera company, but the "day before yesterday, they were a social media company," noted Trip Chowdhry, managing director at Global Equities Research.
"Yesterday, they were a hardware company," he told the E-Commerce Times, but "today they're a camera company."
Identifying as a camera company might backfire, Chowdhry warned. "Haven't investors learned from GoPro, which was a camera company? People will put action videos on media channels."
Money for Nothing
Purchasers of Class A stock will have no voting rights.
Cofounders Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy each will have 22.4 percent of the company's shares, and control all stockholder decisions. They will retain voting power and control even if they leave the company. If either dies, the other will have control.
Still, revenue growth and DAU growth "are decelerating pretty rapidly for a company this young," Randall warned.
The IPO "will almost certainly be a success, given the slim pickings in the IPO market for high-profile tech companies," Randall said. However, investors will be ready to sell their shares at the drop of a hat, "given the recent flame-outs of Zynga, Groupon, and especially Twitter after their IPOs."

Press Statement: Marriage Equality, With 0 Comments, Category: Church News, Latest News, LGBT, Marriage Equality Referendum, Press Statements,
We Are Church Ireland
Today 20th January the core leadership group of We are Church Ireland expressed unanimous support for the proposed May Referendum on Marriage Equality in Irish Civil Law and believes that social justice requires that loving, committed relationships between two consenting adults should be treated equally by the Irish State, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
Although civil partnership in Ireland was an significant step forward in relationship recognition for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people it did not provide them with the same responsibilities, obligations and status that marriage gives.
There are important inequalities still remaining. These range from issues relating to the Family Home, Finance, Legal Procedures and Parent and Child.
The Irish Constitution does not define marriage as between a man and a woman as Article 41.3.1 states that 'The State pledges itself to guard with special care the institution of Marriage, on which the Family is founded, and to protect it against attack'.
It was the 2004 Civil Registration Act that defined marriage as between a man and a woman. However, Irish Courts have consistently interpreted Article 41.3.1as inferring that marriage is between a man and a woman.
Marriage is and has been a rapidly evolving institution. Marriage in the past in Irish society featured practices like arranged marriages, payment of dowries and the legally recognised inferior status of women. Marriage was seen as primarily about the protection of property and wealth rather than based on the free loving assent between two human persons.
The important issues of adoption and surrogacy are not part of this referendum – they are being addressed by separate legislation.
'The proposed Referendum will not redefine marriage but rather refine it to make it more inclusive and so enhance the meaning of marriage' stated Brendan Butler, spokesperson.
We are Church Ireland.

One of Glasgow's most revered sporting venues and a 2014 Commonwealth Games host venue, the Emirates Arena, Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, came alive with elite sporting competition once more when it staged the Cycling Track European Championships at Glasgow 2018. This world-class venue gave spectators a fascinating view of the action as riders reached speeds of over 40mph as they battled it out for the crown of European Champion.
Former UEC President and now UCI President David Lappartient said ahead of the event, "Over the years, Glaswegians have shown their love of our sport in its many guises. The Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome – which, according to top riders, has a very fast wooden track – hosted the opening round of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup in November 2016 ... we are sure that all our events will attract wide support and that fans from across Glasgow, Scotland and beyond will come to see some fantastic competition."
Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and is internationally recognised as one of Europe's most exciting destinations.

Tupac Shakur's breakup letter to Madonna is finally going up for auction, and someone will be paying six figures to own it. Gotta Have Rock and Roll, the company behind the auction, has set the opening bid at $100,000 and estimates the winning offer could end up at $300,000.
The bidding for Pac's letter begins next Wednesday (July 17). The auction will proceed after years of legal drama involving Madonna, who was attempting to prevent the item from being sold.
Madonna recently lost an appeal to block the sale. A New York State Appeals Court ruled she cannot pursue claims against Gotta Have Rock and Roll as well as her former friend and art consultant Darlene Lutz, who was in possession of the letter until consigning it to the aforementioned memorabilia company.
Pac's handwritten letter to Madonna was penned in 1995. In the note, the late rapper ended their relationship over concerns about dating a white woman and how it would affect his image.

I-10 Widening
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development will hold three public meetings to gather public input regarding the proposed improvements along I-10 from LA 415 in Port Allen to Essen Lane in Baton Rouge.
This proposed project will be partially funded with $360 million through Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicle Bonds, also known as GARVEE Bonds, which was announced earlier this year as part of the State's Transportation Master Plan.
Representatives from DOTD and the project team will be available at the open house to answer questions and discuss issues related to the project.
5g mini cell towers
The committee hired attorneys have put together a plan of attack on what some homeowners have characterized as the willy-nilly installation of the 5G minitowers. But first some history:
- The US Congress passed laws to help/encourage 5G installations
- Those laws limit local government regulation if regulations attempt or in fact prohibit 5G installations
- Local laws can impact installation sites especially when making 5G services follow some of the requirements of other utilities and services and somewhat on "aesthetics"
- The Task Force has been working with the Mayor and at least 5 council members (Watson, Wilson, Collard-Lewis, Hudson and Freiburg) and the CP Legal Department. All of them seem to want to work with the committee.
- The Council wants input now and the plan is to give them a vetted copy of a revised ordinance for the Sep 11th Council meeting. The proposed ordinance will be shared with the task force before then. No drafts are available at this time.
- More of these towers are needed (and at closer distances) since they use higher radio frequencies (RF) and those frequencies travel much shorter distances than low radio frequencies we associate with the current big towers located around the parish.
- Any issue that people have with presumed health/sickness issues due to RF has been preempted from local control by the feds as long as the towers meet the standards set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
The current strategy for the proposed ordinance:
1. Have clear notice to property owners that a tower is being put up nearby and time to respond
2. Have a clear process for filing an objection to a specific placement
3. Come up with a "preferred placement" rota. i.e., place on public buildings, place on other existing structures, business areas... residential areas
4. Implement a "co-location" policy so that if ATT puts up a tower they have to make room for Verizon and Cox
5. Add more content to the construction permits as they are bare bones now
6. Make installation match surrounding infrastructure... a tower in Rouzan would have to match the fancy light poles they have over there now or place most of the equipment under ground if the current utilities are underground in a development (Obviously the antenna needs to be above ground)

There Are Many Voices
"England is fortunate in having a great legacy
of characterful and brilliant composers whose inspiration and craftsmanship never fail to surprise and delight."
- Em Marshall, Managing
and Artistic Director,
The English Music
An Overture Of Sorts
This is a coming together of several types of music with one thing in common. Folk, Classical, Music
Hall, the popular songs of the day (we don't mean today, by the way) and the one thing in common, is, that they are all English.
That's Ralph Vaughan Williams on your left, and the gentleman on the right hand side of the picture to your right should,
by now, be very, very familiar, he's part of the picture too, the picture of English music, it's what Vaughan Williams did
all his working life, and it's what Ashley Hutchings has been doing all his working life, showing us that there is indeed this
thing, this sound, if you will, called English Music.
There is, besides Vaughan Williams, the other great names in English Music, Holst, Delius, Gibbs,
Warlock, Finzi, Gurney, the list is great, and sadly, many of these names are now forgotten. It is our intention, with
this website, to bring to your attention, the works and lives of some of these composers. As well we're going to promote,
heavily, a wonderful up coming event, in England, The English Music Festival, bringing to you, in their words, ' the unjustly
neglected music of both well-known and lesser-known British composers. The Festival intends to bring to live audiences pieces
that deserve to be in the repertoire but that are never, or rarely, played or recorded.' Visit their website, and visit it
often, to keep up to date on their doings.
Right! Let's get on with it then, and let the words and music speak for themselves!

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris had his $7 million club option for the 2021 season declined and will face arbitration for the second straight season. Philadelphia also declined club options on relievers David Robertson and David Phelps as it has become clear the team is set on trimming payroll after the pandemic-shortened season. Neris and the Phillies avoided arbitration last February by agreeing on a deal that paid the closer a prorated amount of $4.6 million. Neris went 5-for-8 in save chances this season with a 4.57 ERA as he lost the closer job to Brandon Workman. Neris remains on the Phillies 40-man roster but carries little fantasy value at this point without a set closer's job.

The Texas Rangers declined to pick up starting pitcher Corey Kluber's $18 million option for the 2021 season on Friday, making him a free agent. They'll give him a $1 million buyout instead. However, the Rangers are willing to re-sign the veteran right-hander to a contract of lesser value, mostly likely a one-year, incentive-laden deal. The two-time Cy Young winner has missed most of the last two seasons due to injuries. The 34-year-old pitched in just one inning in 2020 before suffering a torn muscle in the back of his right shoulder. He missed the entire season but has been medically cleared to resume an offseason throwing program. Kluber's fantasy value will obviously be way down heading into the 2021 season, but he could be a nice value pick later in drafts, depending on where he winds up in free agency.

The Milwaukee Brewers declined the 2021 options on infielders Jedd Gyorko and Eric Sogard and outfielder Ben Gamel on Friday. Gyorko and Sogard both had $4.5 million options, while Gamel remains under team control after the team declined his $2.55 million option. Gyorko hit .248 with nine home runs and 17 RBI in 43 games and 117 at-bats this year, and his .838 OPS was the highest on the team while playing mostly against left-handed pitchers. He eventually became the team's primary first baseman. Sogard hit just .209 with a homer, 10 RBI and a .560 OPS in 44 games. Gamel had a .237 average with three home runs, 10 RBI and a .718 OPS in 40 games. The trio aren't likely to be anything more than utility options going forward, limiting their fantasy value significantly.

The New York Mets claimed right-handed reliever Nick Tropeano off of waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. In 2020, Tropeano posted a 1.15 ERA, a 1.15 WHIP, and struck out 19 in 15 2/3 innings pitched for the Pirates. Despite the solid performance in 2020, albeit in a limited number of innings, Tropeano owns a 4.29 career ERA and a 1.37 career WHIP over the course of six seasons. While there is some upside with this move for the Mets, the 30-year old holds little fantasy value heading into 2021 for managers.
From RotoBaller
Right-handed reliever Jacob Barnes was claimed off waivers by the New York Mets on Friday. In 2020, with the Los Angeles Angels, the 30-year old posted an unimpressive 5.50 ERA, and 1.28 WHIP in 18 innings pitched. Notably, however, Barnes throws in the mid-to-upper 90s and posted a 2.25 FIP with 24 strikeouts in 2020. As such, there is some upside middle relief potential for the Mets with this move. That said, for purposes of fantasy, Barnes holds little value heading into 2021.

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed starter Charlie Morton, who became a free agent on Friday when the team didn't pick up his 2021 option, is believed to want to continue his career. Last time he was a free agent he preferred to remain on the East Coast. Morton's 7.0 FanGraphs Wins Above Replacement over the last two seasons is the best mark among all free-agent starting pitchers, with Trevor Bauer in second place at 5.8. The veteran has also gone 7-3 with a 3.38 ERA in 61 1/3 career playoff innings, so he'll certainly be attractive for a team expected to contend in 2021. Morton finished third in the 2019 American League Cy Young race but struggled in the 2020 shortened season to the tune of a 4.74 ERA. Rays general manager Erik Neander said the team is open to re-signing Morton for another year.
From RotoBaller
The Tampa Bay Rays declined their options on starting pitcher Charlie Morton and catcher Mike Zunino on Friday, according to general manager Erik Neander. Both players will become free agents, but Neander said the team will keep the door open for them to return. Morton went 2-2 with a 4.74 ERA in nine regular season starts, but the veteran right-hander pitched much better in the playoffs during the team's World Series run. Zunino hit a lowly .147 with four home runs and 10 RBI in the regular season, but the 29-year-old managed to hit four homers and drive in eight runs in the playoffs. Morton will be making the decision this offseason on whether to retire or continue playing for another season.
From RotoBaller
New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ had his $17 million option declined by the team on Friday, making him a free agent. Happ spent the last two and a half seasons with the Yankees, posting a decent 4.13 ERA over that time despite struggling with a 4.91 ERA in 2019. It seems unlikely that Happ returns to the Yankees at this point, and his fantasy value for the 2021 season will depend partially on his team situation.
From RotoBaller
The New York Yankees declined their 2021 options on outfielder Brett Gardner and left-handed pitcher J.A. Happ on Friday, making them both free agents. Gardner will receive a $2.5 million buyout instead of a $10 million salary, while Happ's deal didn't come with a buyout. The 37-year-old Gardner is the team's last player from the 2009 World Series champion team and has been with the Yanks since 2008. He hit .223 with five home runs and 15 RBI during the shortened season, down from his 2019 season in which he hit .251 with a career-high 28 home runs and 74 RBI. Happ, 38, was demoted from the rotation early this year and finished 2-2 with a 3.47 ERA in nine starts.
From RotoBaller
The Milwaukee Brewers declined to pick up veteran outfielder Ryan Braun's $15 million mutual option for the 2021 season on Friday, making him a free agent. The team's career home run leader will now ponder his future and is due a $4 million buyout. the 37-year-old has spent his entire career in Milwaukee and pondered out loud earlier this year that the 2020 season might've been his last in baseball. Braun leads the franchise with 352 career home runs, but he hit a career-low .233 with seven home runs and 27 RBI in 39 games this year while fighting through back issues. His back problem prevented him from playing in the final wild-card loss to the Dodgers. Braun ranks second in Brewers history in RBI (1,154), extra-base hits (809), total bases (3,525) and doubles (408). He ranks third in runs (1,080), hits (1,963), triples (49), steals (216) and walks (586).

New York Yankees OF Brett Gardner and LHP J.A. Happ will have their team options declined and become free agents, according to ESPN. Gardner is due a $2.5 million buyout, while Happ's contract does not contain a buyout.

New York Yankees LHP Zack Britton had his team options for 2021 and 2022 exercised on Thursday, Oct. 29. Britton will earn $13 million in 2021 and $14 million in 2022.
The Milwaukee Brewers declined to exercise their half of a mutual option for OF Ryan Braun on Thursday, Oct. 29. The mutual option was for $15 million; instead, the team will pay Braun a $4 million buyout.
New York Yankees relief pitcher Zach Britton had his $14 million option picked up by the team on Thursday, keeping him with the Yankees through the 2022 season. Britton was characteristically excellent in 2020 with a 1.89 ERA over 19 innings, and the 32-year-old collected eight saves in closer Aroldis Chapman's early-season absence. Chapman's contract also expires in 2022 so it's unlikely that Britton takes over the everyday closer role for the Yankees, but Britton maintains value as one of the league's best middle relieves and should continue to pile up holds at a high rate.

The Arizona Diamondbacks claimed LHP Taylor Guilbeau off waivers from the Seattle Mariners Friday, Oct. 23.
The Cleveland Indians placed left-handed reliever Brad Hand on outright waivers on Thursday, according to a source. Hand has a $10 million team option for the 2021 season that the Indians plan on declining if he goes unclaimed. If another team claims the southpaw, Cleveland would be off the hook for the $1 million buyout attached to Hand's option. The 30-year-old led the league with 16 saves in the shortened 2020 season while posting a 2.05 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 22 innings. He has a 2.78 ERA in 111 appearances with Cleveland since being acquired from the Padres in 2018. The three-time All-Star ranks fourth among all pitchers with at least 150 innings with a 2.61 ERA since 2017.
From RotoBaller
The Houston Astros placed relief pitcher Roberto Osuna (elbow) on outright waivers on Thursday. Osuna pitched in only four games for the team in 2020 before he was shut down with elbow soreness at the start of August. The right-hander's initial diagnoses recommended Tommy John surgery, but it was later changed to a forearm strain that required a four-week rest period. Osuna led the American League with 38 saves and had a 2.63 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 66 outings in 2019. He would have been a non-tender candidate considering his elbow injury and third-year arbitration status. The 25-year-old should be able to latch on with another organization, but it remains to be seen if he'll fall into another high-leverage role.
From RotoBaller
St. Louis Cardinals 1B Paul Goldschmidt (elbow) had surgery in mid-October to have a bone spur removed from his right elbow, it was reported Wednesday, Oct. 28.
Washington Nationals OF Adam Eaton and RHP Anibal Sanchez had their club options for 2021 declined on Wednesday, Oct. 28. The team also declined their half of mutual options for 1B Eric Thames and INF Howie Kendrick. The players will receive the following buyouts: Eaton ($1.5 million), Sanchez ($2 million), Kendrick ($2.25 million) and Thames ($1 million).

Hello everyone,
I wanted to share with you something that I located in my parent's basement. It's been sitting down there for years, untouched. It is a Factory-Sealed Goldeneye 64 Combo Pack. It includes both Goldeneye 64 and the strategy.
I totally forgot that I had this and I'm very excited that my parents didn't throw it out! The thing is, I can not remember where this came from. I've honestly never seen another one like this. I've looked all over the internet and I can not find any info on it. I figured as ask some of you G64 experts here to provide me with some info on it. Who made these? Is this rare? How much is it worth?
I have a hunch that it might be a store-exclusive of some sort. The plastic casing has some cracks in it, but the contents inside are in mint condition.
Thanks for looking and any help that you can provide!

Skymark Airlines May Buy 15 A380s for International Flights
The planes would be delivered starting 2014 and would initially fly to destinations including London, Frankfurt and New York, Bloomberg News reported. Skymark has already signed a memorandum of understanding with Airbus to buy four A380s.
The carrier will divide the jets between business and premium economy, and fit each with 394 seats.
Currently, Skymark flies domestic flights only. It uses 15 all-economy Boeing (BA) 737 planes.
The A380 is making a lot of headlines, after an engine on one of the jets exploded mid-air last week. The explosion, on a Qantas Airways (QUBSF) flight from Singapore to Sydney, forced the plane to make an emergency landing. Qantas has since grounded its fleet of A380s.
Skymark may sell roundtrip business class tickets from Tokyo to London starting at 347,000 yen ($4,230), Nishikubo said. That's less than half the price of the same ticket with All Nippon Airways.

Murtz On The Scene: Exclusive Interview With Grey's Anatomy's Sarah Drew
The 13th season of Grey's Anatomy premieres tonight and signifies a complete changing of the guard for the hit CTV drama. With Patrick Dempsey and Sandra Oh both leaving the show, the door is open for newer characters to truly make the series their own.
One of the relatively newer stars of the series is Sarah Drew who joined Grey's Anatomy eight years ago. Over the last few seasons, her character (April Kepner) has undergone massive changes as she has become a character that fans have grown to love.
At CTV's 2016 upfront presentation, I had the opportunity to chat with Sarah and we discussed a variety of subjects including her character's story arc and progression. We also chatted about how this season will explore April's character outside of Jackson's shadow as she takes on motherhood by herself. We also chatted about the new faces on the series.
Check out the video above!
Grey's Anatomy returns tonight at 8 p.m. on CTV.

Blackhawks put away Canucks
The Chicago Blackhawks used a pair of two-goal flurries to bury Vancouver 5-1 on Tuesday night and end the Canucks' season once again.
Troy Brouwer and Kris Versteeg scored off rushes 36 seconds apart early in the second period to open the scoring, and Patrick Kane and Dustin Byfuglien added the daggers in a 25-tick span in the third to turn what was a two-goal game into a rout.
It's the second year in a row that Chicago has eliminated the Canucks in six games in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.
This one, which came a year to the day after the Blackhawks' 7-5 win in Game 6 of the 2009 Western semifinals, is especially painful because No. 3 seed Vancouver looked superb in delivering a 5-1 thrashing in the series opener in Chicago.
But the Canucks lost four of the next five games, including all three played in Vancouver — a stunning outcome, considering the Canucks matched Washington for the most home wins in the NHL (30) in the regular season.
"If you would've said before the series we'd win two games in Chicago and still lost the series, we probably wouldn't have believed it," defenceman Shane O'Brien, who had Vancouver's only goal, told Hockey Night in Canada.
"For whatever reason, we just couldn't seem to put our game together on home ice."
The second-seeded Blackhawks will face the top-ranked San Jose Sharks with a trip to the Stanley Cup final at stake. Game 1 will be played in California, likely Friday or Sunday.
"We gave it all we had against [the Canucks] and now we've gotta try and do that in the next round," Versteeg told HNIC after his team moved a step closer to capturing Chicago's first Cup since 1961 — the longest active drought in the NHL.
Luongo shelled again
Dave Bolland had the other Chicago goal, a short-handed breakaway effort in the final minute of the second period that gave the Blackhawks a 3-0 lead.
What's next?
Vancouver GM Mike Gillis can keep the core of his roster virtually intact for next season if he desires, as none of the Canucks' pending unrestricted free agents are considered star players.
The list includes forwards Pavol Demitra, Kyle Wellwood and Ryan Johnson, defenceman Willie Mitchell (who's been out since January with a concussion), and backup goalie Andrew Raycroft.
The restricted free agents are forwards Mason Raymond, Jannik Hansen and Tanner Glass, and defencemen Shane O'Brien and Aaron Rome. — JC
O'Brien got the Canucks on the board early in the third, but Kane and Byfuglien put the game away with their one-two knockout punch 4½ minutes later.
After a scoreless first period, Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo gave up five goals on 23 shots over the final two frames — the third time in the series he was beaten at least five times.
The Canucks captain, who was coming off a 4-1 win in Game 5 that staved off elimination, heard some Bronx cheers from the home crowd when he made a routine save after Chicago made it 5-1.
"At the end of the day, I don't think they're a better team than us," Luongo said. "But maybe a smarter team that knows how to win."
Rookie Antti Niemi stopped 29 of 30 shots for the 'Hawks.
Salo guts it out
Vancouver defenceman Sami Salo showed plenty of guts by electing to play a couple days after being sent to hospital by a Duncan Keith slapshot that nailed him in the groin area. Salo logged a robust 19:32 of ice time, including 2:42 on the power play and 1:56 short-handed.
Salo told Hockey Night in Canada during the first intermission that he felt good about his mobility.
"It's not bad," he said. "You don't want to miss these games. You want to be out there."
The Canucks, though, suffered another blow to their battered blue-line in the first period when Alexander Edler was smashed into the end boards by beefy Byfuglien. Edler didn't return, and after the game he was wearing a walking boot.
The rest of the Vancouver defence couldn't pick up the slack, and could even shoulder most of the blame for the first two Chicago goals.
A botched pinch by O'Brien allowed the Blackhawks to flip the play quickly up ice for Patrick Sharp to feed Brouwer for a slick redirection over the glove arm of Luongo that opened the scoring exactly two minutes into the second period.
Vancouver fans scarcely had time to lament that one when defenceman Kevin Bieksa coughed up the puck in the neutral zone to Versteeg, who kept the puck on a two-on-one rush, dragged it into the middle and whipped a shot past Luongo's blocker side to make it 2-0.
Kesler played hurt
The Canucks' forwards weren't much better. The high-scoring Sedin twins were held without a goal for the second straight game, while Ryan Kesler, who recorded an assist for his first point in four contests, said afterwards that he's been dealing with a shoulder injury.
Kesler had 10 points, but just one goal, in 12 playoff games after a breakthrough regular season in which he finished third on the team with 75 points.
"It's the playoffs. You gotta play hurt, you gotta play injured," Kesler said, initially refusing to reveal his exact injury before adding: "Obviously, the shoulder has been bothering me for a while."
"I'm not sitting here making excuses. I've gotta play through it. I didn't have my best series, and it hurts."
