But 681,000 kids are still mistreated, report finds
THURSDAY, Dec. 13, 2012 (HealthDay News) -- The number of child abuse and neglect cases reported in the United States in 2011 fell for the fifth consecutive year, according to a new federal government report.
About 681,000 cases of child abuse or neglect were documented last year, which continues the steady decrease from 723,000 cases in 2007, said the document from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families.
However, the number of child deaths due to maltreatment has fluctuated. Deaths peaked at 1,740 in 2009, but were at a five-year low of 1,570 in 2011.
"We have made excellent progress over the past five years," George Sheldon, acting assistant secretary of the administration, said in an HHS news release. "But what this report tells me is that we still have 681,000 children out there who need our help. We must continue coordination efforts among federal, state and local agencies to focus on child maltreatment prevention."
The report said about 54 percent of abusers were women, about 48 percent were white, roughly 20 percent were black and around 19 percent were Hispanic. In about 81 percent of cases, the abusers were the victim's parent.
Of the children who suffered abuse or neglect last year, about 11 percent were physically or mentally disabled.
Some of the victims were exposed to domestic violence (about 25 percent), drug abuse (almost 19 percent) or alcohol abuse (almost 10 percent), according to the report.
Bryan Samuels, commissioner of the Administration on Children, Youth, and Families, said the report shows that the families who experience child abuse and neglect face multiple challenges. "So we are targeting some investments to approaches that understand and respond to that complexity," Samuels said in the news release.
This year, the Administration for Children and Families awarded grants to several projects meant to prevent or treat child abuse and neglect in these families.

The origins and growth of the Decatur Gun Club parallel that of the clay target itself, and the games created to hone and test shotgun shooting skill. Shotgun sport shooting with live pigeons and later, glass balls existed in the U.S. from the early 1800's. But the first "clay pigeon" and "trap" to throw it were not developed until about 1880 by George Ligowsky. William Brett From Decatur was the second manufacturer of clay targets in the U.S., which he called the "Decatur Red Bird". Considered the oldest shotgun shooting sports club in Illinois, the Decatur Gun Club was founded soon after clay targets were invented. Chan Powers and Bert Hildebrandt were two of the mentors of the club, first located near East William Street Road and 22nd Street. In the early years, the club occupied sites in the Hess Park area, the Wyckles Corner area, the Macon County Fairgrounds, and an area west of the Fairgrounds before finding it's home of the past 61 years at the north end of Faries Park.

Scooped Up in Artistry
Anchorware Everywhere
*Image Courtesy of CR
While out and about in the Short North area of Downtown Columbus I stumbled upon some wonderful creations in Collier West. As usual Suzi West has presented an extraodinary display of collections and art objects to dazzle the eye.
*Image Courtesy of CR
This time I saw something that was most definitely Anchor Blog material. A female metal artist, Jan Barboglio, has a captivating assortment of creations. One of which is a casserole holder which comes with a piece of Anchorware. Barboglio's holder can be snagged for a mere $148.00, but is well worth it for the metal art enthusiast.

Make sure and check out all of the pieces that Collier West has to offer this weekend at the June gallery hop, or online at www.collierwest.com.

The HP Envy 14 Spectre is an eye-catching ultrabook, and as our teardown shows, it's well-built, has solid hardware, and is easy to work on. But, it's also heavier and thicker than many other ultrabooks and more expensive. Bill Detwiler cracks open the Spectre and gives you a look inside.

Video: Company Evolves from a Manual Shop to a High Precision Success Story
28. October 2013
Ian and Jack Wagter, owners of Lumar Machining & Manufacturing Ltd. of St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada, purchased the company with a customer base of two automotive plants. Today, Lumar Machining has a thriving business with plans to expand, adding even more machining technology.
When Ian and Jack came across Lumar, the most sophisticated piece of technology was a fax machine. Ian recognized the company's potential and capitalized on its established employee base. After riding out a learning curve, Ian made the transition from process engineering in large plants to taking on a general machine shop.
With the recession that followed 9/11, everything was cut to a minimum. Despite maintaining lean operations, the owners took a leap of faith and purchased more CNC machines during the economic downturn. Because of their ability to look forward while others hunkered down, they were able to take advantage of great deals in the marketplace.
With new technology and a newly trained workforce, eventually Ian and Jack's staff gained a foothold serving high precision customers in several new markets, while still retaining their two original automotive customers.

Baby boomers know Shirley Bassey, and this morning — so does everyone else. She's the 76-year-old chanteuse who belted out the James Bond hit "Goldfinger" to a standing ovation at the Oscars. Watch her sing at the 3 minute mark in the video tribute to Bond.
But she's more than that — she sang the title songs to Goldfinger in 1964, Diamonds Are Forever in 1971, and Moonraker in 1979, according to Wikipedia. Read more about what she's been doing here.
Bond won more accolades with Adele's Oscar for best song for "Skyfall."
More highlights:
The host seemed to do well. Seth McFarlane was ahead on the Zapitpoll early this morning as best host in five years.
- "Argo" won for best movie with Ben Affleck, George Clooney and Grant Heslov as producers.
- Daniel Day-Lewis won his third Oscar for his portrayal of Abraham Lincoln in "Lincoln."
- Jennifer Lawrence, 22, won best-actress in "Silver Linings Playbook." Her dress tripped up on her way up the stairs.
- Ang Lee hit it big as best director for "Life of Pi." The movie won a lot of awards.
- Anne Hathaway won supporting-actress Oscar in the musical "Les Miserables." And the entire cast sang during the Oscars — another huge highlight.
- Christoph Waltz won supporting-actor in "Django Unchained," and Quentin Tarantino won for original screenplay for "Django."

Only 38% put information in social media about offline products and services, a study says.
Many retailers that operate physical stores miss opportunities to use online digital information as a sales tool, a new study from Econsultancy.com Ltd. and IBM Tealeaf says.
The leading tactic retailers use is to display on web sites content about stores, including their locations, operating hours and contact details, according to the "Reducing Customer Struggle 2013."
But far fewer take advantage of other ways to link the online and offline retailing worlds. Only 38% provide information on products and services in social media, 28% QR codes consumers can scan for additional details and promotional offers online, and 9% personalized marketing content on digital signs.
The study is based on a global online survey conducted in March and April of more than 500 business professionals at companies involved in e-commerce and e-business. IBM Tealeaf is the digital customer experience management unit of IBM Corp.
The study also found that 72% of retailers plan to increase their investment in mobile strategies and that 74% said mobile was either "important" or "critical" to their overall business.
"The importance of focusing on the mobile customer experience is evidenced by the increased amount of traffic attributable to mobile devices, reflecting the increased importance of mobile both as a transactional channel and as part of multichannel consumer behavior," the study says.
But the study adds: "While mobile is a focus for many companies, it is clear from this year's research that wider online customer experience challenges still remain for many organizations, both in terms of understanding customers struggles and also addressing pain points" in shopping across online and offline channels.
Following are the percentages of respondents who said their company uses the following means of integrating digital and physical consumer experiences:
● Web site information about offline retail locations, contact details and operating hours, 63%
● Social media presence for offline products and services, 38%
● Web content optimized for mobile and local search, 31%
● QR codes, 28%
● Coupons or vouchers redeemable across channels, 26%
● Click-to-call buttons to let online shoppers speak to a customer service rep, 23%
● Reserve and collect, ordering online for in-store pickup, 18%
● In-store Wi-Fi, 17%
● In-store kiosks and tablet computers for online ordering, 16%
● Location-based mobile apps, 15%
● Third-party listing sites and apps, such as Yelp and Qype, 13%
● Bar code scanners, 12%
● Pop-up stores with online ordering, 11%
● Personalized marketing content on digital signage, 9%
● Near Field Communications in stores, 9% (NFC is a wireless technology for linking mobile phones and store equipment, such as payment terminals)
● Other, 6%
The study also says that some retailers deploy these cross-channel tools in ineffective ways. For example, with QR codes, which consumers scan with a mobile phone, many retailers direct consumers to web pages not designed to properly render on a mobile screen, the study says. QR, or Quick Response, codes are two-dimensional bar codes that consumers scan with a mobile device to link to web sites for such information as product details or promotional information.
The study notes that 32% of consumers in the United Kingdom and 41% in the United States have used a mobile device to locate a retailer's store. But not all store locators work well, it adds.

Mobile and Wireless: iPhone 5 Apps: 10 You Should Download on Launch Day
Apple's iPhone 5 is right around the corner. And with it comes a host of improvements, including a larger display, 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) service, an improved camera and a processor that Apple says will deliver far better system and graphical performance than its predecessor. Nearly everything in the iPhone 5 was revamped and improved. And Apple says that the result is the best iPhone it's built to this point. Gloating aside, it's hard to argue the point. Apple's iPhone 5 is the most powerful smartphone the company has ever launched, and its new camera is a major improvement for consumers. Even its iOS 6 integration should make for a far better experience. But hardware and the operating system aren't everything. In the iPhone world, the true experience is made with help from mobile applications available through the company's App Store. Without apps, using the iPhone just wouldn't be the same. Realizing that, eWEEK thought it would be a good idea to highlight the apps that iPhone 5 customers will definitely want to download to their devices on launch day, Sept. 21. From the fun to the useful, the following apps are must-haves for any iPhone 5 owner:

Biblical & Ministry Studies
Biblical and Ministry Studies at Waynesburg University
The goal of the Biblical and Ministry Studies major is to provide lay and ordained leadership for the Church of Jesus Christ in the service of the world. The approach will be academically rigorous, inherently practical, and both ecumenical and non-sectarian in character.
Students can now prepare for the ministry in a unique way through the Waynesburg University Biblical and Ministry Studies Program. You can choose from five different options including:
- Religion and Philosophy
- Children and Youth Ministry
- International Mission
- Drama Ministry
- Latin American Studies
By completing the Biblical and Ministry Studies Program at Waynesburg University, you will learn to critically think and write about the Biblical text, and engage with theory and practice in various areas of ministry. You will have experiential learning opportunities to aid in your understanding of the Bible for spiritual formation, and for the analysis and engagement with pressing global and social concerns.So take the gifts that God has given you and tailor them to bring about his kingdom. Majoring in Biblical and Ministry studies will prepare you for ministry in a way that is as unique as you are.
Programs Offered
Children & Youth Ministry Option
Since young people today face unparalleled personal and societal pressures and needs, this program is designed to help you implement the scientific findings of several areas of social studies: child and adolescent development, the psychology of personality, exceptional individuals, adjustment, the psychology of religion, counseling theory, and the sociology of cultures and the family. In the departmental practicum and internship, you will learn to practice ministry to children, teens and their families in a variety of cultural settings through teaching, caring and serving in Jesus' name. For the Children and Youth Ministry Option, you will need 24 hours in psychology and sociology (child, adolescent, and family studies).
Drama Ministry Option
Enter into one of the cutting-edge ministries that recovers the early Church's ancient and powerful means for communicating the Gospel! Through courses in acting, directing, set design and theater history, this academic program will train you for the proclamation of the Word of the Lord in the dynamic ministry of drama. You will also participate in the University's drama troupe, The King's Court, gaining practical experience in liturgical drama in the University Chapel and in area churches. For the Drama Ministry Option, you will need 24 hours in acting, directing and set design, plus participation in The King's Court.
International Mission Option
The central focus of this option is your placement in an international mission field during your university training. But before you go, we will provide you with both data and concepts that inform the effective missionary: world civilization, geography, international economics, politics and international relations, the sociology of cultures and American minorities, as well as language study. The needs of the world beckon committed disciples willing to take the risks to witness to God's love in the international arena. If this description meets your passion, then we can help you find your vocation. For the International Mission Option, you will need 54 hours in international cultures, languages and social studies.
Latin American Studies Option
Latin American Studies Program (LASP) Council of Christian Colleges and University's Latin American Studies Program is for students who seek to integrate their faith, knowledge, experiences, and actions. The LASP aims to prepare students to live the Christian life in a complex and ever-changing world. The mission of the LASP is to: cultivate a Christ-centered community of critical thinking learner-scholars from multiple disciplines; expand global awareness and integrate Kingdom-values via experiential learning in the Latin American context; and challenge students to respectfully engage host cultures and strive for academic excellence.
The CCCU LASP fulfills its mission when students learn through Spanish language study and interdisciplinary seminars on Latin American politics, economics, religion, history, ecology and culture; live with host families in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, improving Spanish language skills and sharing life with Latin Americans; accompany Latin Americans in a hands-on practicum/field study that provides a window into Latin American life and allows students to interact intentionally with people outside of the classroom; and travel through other Central American nations to discover the rich diversity of cultures and peoples in the region. Home stays, field studies, and lively classroom exchanges expose students to the many realities of Latin America. They enrich their university experience by developing relationships with Latin Americans from diverse lifestyles: politicians, religious leaders, community development workers, laborers, youth, elderly, wealthy, and impoverished. They will engage these new friends in discussions about the role of the United States in Latin America, responses to poverty, the environmental crisis, economics, human rights, and more. The program gives students the opportunity to leave the WU campus to experience firsthand the diversity of Latin America. They will become equipped to critically examine and respond to global challenges. Interested students must consult with Dr. Julio Quintero and make application to the Office of the Provost to participate in the CCCU's LASP.
Religion and Philosophy Option
Our graduates say that if you intend to prepare for ordained ministry in denominations that require seminary training, you will receive superior preparation when you complete this academic program. Recent Waynesburg grads have attended Ashland Theological Seminary, Candler School of Theology at Emory University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Methodist School of Theology in Ohio, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, Princeton Theological Seminary, and United Theological Seminary, (Dayton, OH). They now serve Christ in a variety of denominational settings. For the Religion and Philosophy Option, you will need 24 hours in philosophy, history, and social sciences.

I have been so busy trying to finish up paperwork for our genealogy society (Pima County Genealogy Society), it seems I have my hand in everything from speaking to planning, tax forms to policies & procedures, and do a little PI work that I have not had too much free time to "play" with my family history.
I have committed myself to get fixing my genealogy database, mainly fixing incorrect citations and citations that have printed out incorrectly (I have not quiet figured out why some of them do not have the part of the source in italics). Some of my sourcing was done incorrectly, before the Evidence book was published and before I knew what I was doing. My husband who calls me a Citation Nazi has been trying to figure why I have the need to correct everything - I think I have some great fear that one day Elizabeth Shown Mills will see my citations and tsk tsk my incorrect sourcing.
I have almost finished scanning photos I removed from my mother's clutches over the summer. I still have photos to go through that my cousin Irene Baker gave to me. It is now months later and I still have not thanked her for the copies of the photos.
I have treated my self to locating a few relatives in the 1940 census. I now play a game called do the boring stuff for an hour and you can look for one family in the 1940 census. It has made the tedious work more enjoyable but I do not seem to be making quick progress.
October brings talks at other genealogy society's, presentations at the Pima County Library for Family History Month, a presentation at the Oasis Institute, a Pima County Genealogy Society luncheon on German Research, visiting one of our daughter's in Flagstaff, a dinner party, spending time with the in-laws in Sonoita, the beginning of my baking for the holidays and the start of holiday shopping. My sewing table is glaring at me, knowing that I should be working on Christmas projects and my craft table keeps trying to lure me away. I feel like I am whining but somehow it seems that I have lost time........
Now on top of everything else one of my daughters is getting married. Juliana and Alex plan to be wed here in Tucson (they both live in North Carolina) which leaves me to take care of most everything. I have booked the historic Stillwell House in downtown Tucson for the event and reception. Now all I need is a photographer, flowers, invitations, the kids to get registered, table decorations, a DJ, liquor (they serve your liquor at the Stillwell House), thank you gifts, guest book, card holder and oh yeah, my mind and time! Here's to hoping when they come in to visit in December they can whittle the list down for me!

The wedding is definitely going to play a big part in the upcoming months! The wedding is at the end of April and we will be having family in from all over the United States! Going to get some genealogy snuck in while the families are gathered together. I am also looking at making transparencies of family members weddings to affix to the vases for the centerpieces. A genealogy wedding if I do say so myself!

22 year old Dutch DJ and producer, Hardwell, has made quite a name for himself this year, collaborating with international star DJ Chuckie on 'Move It To The Drum,' as well as banging out some big original club tracks like 'Molotov', 'Asteroid', and 'Voyage'. His international success bred by support from Tiesto, Steve Aoki, Judge Jules, and more has led this young musician to quickly establish his own label, Revealed Recordings, so I'd expect to see many more releases from Hardwell in 2011. Last weekend, the youngster was asked to produce a guest mix on Armin Van Buuren's 'A State of Sundays' show on Sirius Satellite Radio, and he was kind enough to let all of us have a listen. Hands up!

Dear Folks: As you may recall, in the late spring a giant lot of merchandise from Alan Flusser's highest-end operation was consigned to me.
This was the midtown shop where he sold custom-tailored clothing made from the best cloths in the world, as well as shirts, ties and other accessories. The lot included over 500 items in the categories below. Some of it was sold at a live sale which (looked like this) in the Flatiron District at the close of April.
After that, I wanted it to go immediately to the forum, but a death in the family delayed me until now. So: tonight, it begins. The first bit is a selection of ties and cloth (not all of it by any means!) Check back often for additions and updates. Also, please post all queries in this thread rather than the subsidiary threads.
TERMS Please send all orders and personal queries to firstname.lastname@example.com rather than sending a message on SF. Please wait to be invoiced. Please pay within 24 hours of being invoiced or your order may go to another buyer.
PAYMENT Paypal preferred. Cash an option for local pickups (I am in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn, zip 11211 near the Williamsburg Bridge Plaza). North American customers may also pay by credit card if you get the info to me by email or by phone. SHIPPING is free for orders to addresses within the USA.

In an exclusive interview in the November/December 2012 ISO Focus+, Maria das Graças Silva Foster, Chief Executive Officer of Petrobras, explains the use of International Standards in the company's day-to-day operations. As she says: "Applying International Standards is of strategic importance to ensure competitiveness in our business."
Both ISO 9001:2008 (quality) and ISO 14001:2004 (environment) management system standards are fully integrated in Petrobras' corporate quality network and environmental, health and safety organizations worldwide.
"The ISO 9001 model is a benchmark in quality management," says Maria das Graças Silva Foster, "it has allowed us to identify the interfaces of the company's vertical processes, enhancing the integration of corporate areas and helping improve the quality of inputs that pass through the company's value chain up to delivery of the final product, with better and more sustainable results."
Foster appreciates that participation in the standards development process has many benefits. "Petrobras participates in ISO, the leading organization for international technical standardization, with 249 representatives on technical committees, subcommittees and working groups. These standards (and regulations) are used extensively on the international market, where Petrobras works with technical requirements that satisfy quality, safety, health, environmental, deadline, cost and local content standards."
Petrobras is a Brazilian integrated energy company with over one million shareholders, operating in the oil, natural gas, and biofuels sectors in 27 countries with a total of 84 000 employees. In 2011, Petrbroas' net profit reached USD 20 billion.
Maria das Graças Silva Foster, who has been the Petrobras CEO since February 2012, speaks out for the first time in ISO Focus+. She is among the many high level executives to be featured in the "Guest View" column of ISO Focus+ magazine.
In addition to Foster's interview, the November/December 2012 issue highlights some key examples of standards that are less well known (compared to the world famous ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems), but which still intrigue, captivate and pique our interest. Did you know, for example, that ISO has standards for spaghetti and for symphony tuning?
Read on and discover the "other" ISO standards and how they benefit business, government and society.
Other highlights in this issue include articles on the following:
- Innovation is the name of the game – ISO 35th General Assembly
- Sustainability and innovation – Leveraging International Standards

For some reason international shipping to the US (NYC) has been extremely delayed for me recently - anyone else experiencing this? I had a 50 day wait for a package from Spain....30 days for a sweater from France...Still waiting on a package shipped over a month ago from London... One package I shipped took about a month to arrive in London via USPS priority. Everything seems to be held up by customs in both directions, but it's difficult to pinpoint. Domestic shipping has been working as normal.

SurgeXperiences is a blog carnival about surgical blogs. It is open to all (surgeon, nurse, anesthesia, patient, etc) who have a surgical blog or article to submit. The 23rd edition will be be hosted by QuietusLeo, The Sand Man, on June 8th. He is an anesthesiologist in Israel.
In case you were wondering - "QuietusLeo" is latin for "sleeping lion" (I think). Obviously, I was born a leo. The connection seems to make sense.
The deadline for submissions will be June 6th. Please submit your posts here. Here is the catalog of past surgXperiences editions for your reading pleasure. If you wish to host a future edition, please contact Jeffrey who runs the show here.
Every now and then I make a surgical cap from fabric for friends. I took a "Diprovan" cap apart years ago and use it as the pattern.
I didn't un-sew the hem, so I add an inch to the band. The oval is sewn to the band with a 3/8 inch seam. I always finish the seam with zig-zag to prevent raveling. Then twill tape is sewn for the ties. Here's my dog Rusty modeling one I made this weekend.

Southeastern Utah District Health Department Celebrates National Immunization Awareness Month
Every year, thousands of adults in the United States suffer serious health problems, are hospitalized, or even die from diseases that could have been prevented by vaccinations. To celebrate the importance of immunizations throughout life, and to help remind adults that they need vaccines, the Southeastern Utah District Health Department is proudly participating in National Immunization Awareness Month. This is the perfect opportunity to make sure adults are protected against diseases like flu, whooping cough, tetanus, shingles, and pneumococcal disease.
The specific vaccines adults need are determined by factors such as age, lifestyle, risk conditions, locations of travel, and previous vaccines. All adults should talk to their health care providers about which vaccines are right for them. "There is a misconception among many adults that vaccines are just for kids," said Dottie Flemett, Southeastern Utah District Health Department Nursing Director. "The truth is you never outgrow the need for immunizations."
To find out which vaccines might be right for you and where you can get vaccinated, call your local health department or go to the website www.seuhealth.com

The vote came in response to recommendations from the School Trust Investment Task Force, which the Board created in February. The permanent State School Fund consists primarily of income earned by the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA). The state has a fiduciary duty to invest those funds in a long-term, prudent manner, similar to an endowment. The interest and dividends go to school community councils who decide how to spend the money at the school level. For the 2013-14 school year the trust is providing over $37 million to Utah's public schools. The fund has been overseen by the Utah State Treasurer's Office since 1981, but previously was overseen by the land board.
"Addressing the governance weaknesses now is critical for protecting and growing the trust assets," said Utah State Board of Education Member Jennifer Johnson of Murray who chaired the task force.
"We believe our children deserve to have a governance model in place which represents best practices, will help insulate the trust from politics, and ensures these funds are available for future generations of Utah children," said Karen Peterson, the Utah PTA Trust Lands appointee.
In addition to Johnson, the School Trust Investment Task Force was comprised of Utah Rep. Rich Cunningham, Deputy State Treasurer David Damschen, Zions Bancorporation Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer W. David Hemingway, Wells Capital Management Regional Managing Director Sterling K. Jensen, Deseret Mutual Benefit Administrators Chief Investment Officer Kent Misener, and University of Utah Associate Professor of Finance Elizabeth Tashjian.
"This investment task force was a model of public-private partnership," Cunningham said. "Many knowledgeable investment professionals volunteered extensive amounts of time to study what was best for Utah's school children. I will encourage the Legislature to enact legislation in line with these thoroughly-researched recommendations."
In addition to creating an independent board, the task force also recommended to
• Study the distribution policy
• Require enhanced reporting
• Preserve the prudent investor rule
• Remove any asset class restrictions
• Require an annual audit
• Require independent custody

Canucks Douse the Flames, get into the win column: recap and chance data
Thomas Drance
January 24 2013 12:30AM
Zack Kassian's pumped. As well he should be.
Photo Credit: Rich Lam/Getty Images
Vancouver's three game homestand started out with a gong show performance in the season opener against Anaheim, but it ended triumphantly (I guess) with a shootout win on Wednesday night over the Calgary Flames. If we're being honest, Vancouver has lost a game and tied two others so far on the season and they've given up two goal leads in each of those ties... But whatever, the Canucks got into the win column in their third game of the season and that should help ease some of the panic in this market.
It wasn't pretty, especially in a low-event first period in which you could've heard a pin drop in the mausoleum-like confines of Rogers Arena. But two points is two points, and as the Canucks struggle to tread water in the early going this season (while they await Ryan Kesler's return to the lineup) that matters a whole lot.
Read on past the jump for scoring chance data, and some analysis.
- We'll begin, as we usually do, with the most important numbers. The Calgary Flames out-chanced the Canucks 18-13 overall, 14 to 11 at even-strength and 12 to 11 with the score tied. To the eyes, Cory Schneider looked shaky in this contest, but he was nails in the third period, over-time and the shootout. Schneider provided the goaltending that a short-handed team like the Canucks require to win games at the moment. The Canucks, I might add, are now -13 in scoring chance differential in three games so far this season. That's a much bigger concern to me than their recent inability to hold two goal leads.
- Let's dig a bit deeper into Schneider's numbers. On the evening he stopped 34 of 36 shots against, and stopped 12 of 14 tough shots against (defined as scoring chances on net). His puck-handling didn't inspire confidence and in the third period the Flames started testing him from cheesey angles (which suggests to me that Bob Hartley considered Schneider liable to give up a McSofty) but no matter, he played really well tongiht.
- Vancouver's defense, no so much. Kevin Bieksa - who had a tough game overall and nearly scored an own goal on Schneider on a goal-mouth scramble early in the third period. Alex Edler's adjustment to playing the right-side point didn't directly cost the club a goal against at even-strength (which is an improvement over the previous couple of games), but he made some poor reads in the third that led to turnovers and scoring chances against. Jason Garrison and Dan Hamhuis were mostly solid, though Garrison took the first in a parade of minor penalties by Vancouver's blueliners that allowed Calgary to get off the matt late in the second frame while Hamhuis mis-played a two-one one on Tanguay's goal. This blueline group has the makings of a very solid unit, but that hasn't really showed up for the Canucks in the early going. Mostly, I think, it's just a lack of discipline and some bad luck on the bounces.
- I'd like to make a quick point about Jason Garrison who already reads the Sedins like he's played with them for years, something I find extremely impressive when you consider that Wednesday night's game was only his third as a Canucks, and the team only held an accelerated one week training camp. In one of my favorite pieces of hockey blogging over the past 18 months, Justin Bourne wrote this about how Vancouver's offensive players adjust to playing consistently with the twins:
The coolest thing about that is, their teammates (especially Alex Burrows, and especially their powerplay unit) have come to expect [the twins weird back door passes], so now they take the extra second to find the open guy, not just The Guy They're Supposed To Pass To. Its opened everyone up creatively.
Jason Garrison hasn't tallied yet in a Vancouver uniform, and didn't really find an opportunity to uncork his heavy artillery on Wednesday night. But it'll come. I've really liked what I've seen so far.
- Though they didn't have a particularly high-event game, the Sedins and Kassian were dynamite on the cycle.. Zack Kassian, who will obviously get his own bullet point in a moment, is a monster down-low and won fifty-fifty puck battles with consistency in the offensive end. Needless to say, this top-line has an awful lot of potential and hopefully they'll get a few games to really grow accustomed to playing together.
- Zack Kassian's fitness level and speed has noticeably improved this season (75 second offensive zone shifts, what?). But so has his on-ice maturity. He took a somewhat undisciplined penalty running Kipprusoff early in the third (though if you're going to take a minor penalty, you might as well make sure the opposition's goaltender feels it) but I was very impressed with his zone-exit passes, his directing traffic in the defensive end and the fact that he made sure to finish every check, every opportunity he got. He even schooled up some pretty capable tough minutes defensemen in Mark Giordano and Jay Bouwmeester down low in the offensive zone. Put simply: he played a punishing game.
- Oh and that goal. What a beauty. Kassian faked a shot which drew Kipprusoff way out of his net as Kassian skated behind the goal, brought the puck back to his forehand with a graceful toe-drag and very nearly tucked the puck into the far-side of Calgary's cage on the wrap around. How close did he come to finishing the play right then and there? This close:
Photo Credit: Rich Lam/Getty Images
Luckily for Kassian, the puck got stuck between two Flames defender and Mark Giordano tried (and failed) to clear the puck with his hand. The puck ended up back on Kassian's stick and he got two whacks of it the second of which ended up behind Kipprusoff for the game's opening goal. The goal was unassisted and that shift was absolutely dominant. Oh and Zack Kassian turns twenty-two on Thursday, so that's pretty cool. Here's the goal:
Video courtesy CanucksHD
- The Alex Burrows at center experiment was, I think, a qualified success. Burrows lost his first two face-offs this evening (both of them in the first period) but won five of his next six to finish with a 63% success rate in the face-off dot. On top of that, he recorded two chance assists (both of them in the first period, on lovely passes to Jannik Hansen), took a scoring chance and then scored on his usual move in the shootout. No one is going so far as to describe Burrows as, say, the answer to Vancouver's third-line center need (at least not on the strength of one quality outing) but he'll work as a bandaid in the short-term in that spot, I think.
- Mason Raymond had a hell of a game, setting up three scoring chances (unfortunately two of those chances were to Dale Weise who missed the net by a lot) and taking one as well (on the goal he scored). His power-play snipe over Kipprusoff was just gravy though, much more impressive was his ability to cycle in the offensive end and use his speed effectively in puck battles. He looked, dare I say it, strong on his skates on Wednesday. Great sign for the Canucks.
- A couple Flames notes because why not? Mikael Backlund is very, very good and Alex Tanguay is one of the best pure snipers in the NHL (and has been for a while). Both of those guys can play on my team any day of the week.
- Finally Jordan Schroeder's NHL debut was unspectacular, but he looked reasonably competent. On his first shift he won a face-off, threw a hit and made a nifty play on a zone-exit. On his second, however, he took a really dumb holding penalty a hundred feet and change from Vancouver's net. Still, he played nearly fifteen minutes and acquitted himself reasonably well, though he didn't generate much in the way of offensive looks.

I always thought we would have a good player in Kassian but he showed a tremendous amount of potential tonight. More than I thought possible.
Playing him with the Sedins is the perfect spot for him. Designing success, etc.
Thomas, what did you think of Giordano and Bouwmeester?
I went to bed partway through the second (east coaster) with the boxscore saying the Canucks were outshooting the Flames 25-9, and it obviously ended up tied. Was that shooting total reflective of the play? Did it look like the Canucks just got tired as the game went on, or are they really just a mediocore team right now?
Personally I was very surprised and somewhat disgusted at the flames response to both the kassian and bieksa net crashes.
~Given the legend that is Iggy's leadership and all that~
January 24 2013, 10:44AM
Any team would look mediocre when the Sedins only muster 2 chances over any entire game. Or did Kassian muster two chances and the Sedins zero?
It's only a matter of time that the twins get going.. I hope.
Kassian was maligned and given a reputation of a "goon" after some big hits resulted in big suspensions. ie a hit on Matt Kennedy in the OHL and then his hit on Petr Senkerik in the WJC.
This guy was a man-child in the OHL and I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up being a PPG player. People talk about Lucic this, Lucic that around the league, Kassian is a way better player.
His biggest issue was always just his maturity level.

Kassian has shown nothing yet to say he's any better than Lucic or can be. If Lucic was on our team, imagine how the Sedins would do.
But Drance, how'd you feel about Tanev and Ballard? I actually liked their game. Looked like they played big minutes too, for a 3rd pairing.
@eric blacha
Vic has a point, in that Kassian is a more complete player than Lucic although Lucic is more accomplished at this point. It'd also be simplistic to ask how the Sedins would be with Lucic beside them since Lucic is much more of a north/south player, while Kassian gets engaged more in the cycle and can play as a bit of a setup guy.

Cute Boot, Cheap Zipper!
"I loved the look of this boot, but in putting it on to wear around the house, the zipper broke! Of course, it was stuck in the "up" position, I couldn't get my foot out! Had to return them.

Good quality and great color
"This shoe fits perfectly. I am a size 7.5 with slightly wider feet, and they were still comfy. The heel height is perfect, not too high. The suede is great quality and the burgundy is such a rich color. The black version would be easier to match though. The only complaint is that the shoe cuts off a little too high for my liking. If it were an inch shorter, it would be great. Since I'm short (5'3'') it hits me at an awkward point with shorts/skirts. With jeans/leggings, they're easy to tuck into."
