In 2011, Google was named the "Happiest Company in America" in an annual survey by job satisfaction–focused web resource CareerBliss.com. Lately, however, Google's looking a little blue: In the most recent survey, the Internet search engine company didn't even make the top 50.
Various industries made it onto the 2012 CareerBliss survey, including financial giants, utility companies, pharmaceutical corporations and even the U.S. military. Retail and hospitality companies are new to the top 10 list this year.
The CareerBliss survey is based on more than 100,000 independent employee-generated reviews. The list is determined by employee's ratings on their work-life balance, their relationships with their bosses and co-workers, their work environments, job resources, compensation, growth opportunities, company culture and reputation, their daily tasks, and finally the job control over the work they do on a daily basis. The data show how an employee values each factor. Each review is given an average score indicating where the company places between one and five. In all, data from employees of more than 10,000 companies were analyzed.
What follows is the top 10 from the list of the "50Happiest Companies for America" for 2012, including each company's overall "Bliss Score" and the top three ranking categories. Spoiler: Great co-workers make a huge difference in job satisfaction. The one highly rated factor shared by each of the top 10 companies is "the people you work with."

If someone knows that they are going to miss a turn, I think it would be a great idea if you were able to put in conditional moves depending on what the map looks like which will automatically happen once it comes to the your turn.
example: "IF" I had N Afr deploy 3 armies there and attack Brazil going down to 2 armies if i lose and advance all armies if i win, or if I no longer had N Afr do another conditional move.
It would have to be kept very simple, but it would solve a lot of problems in doubles and triples when their partners end up losing because of players missing turns, and will obviously speed up games.

choices not versus
I've been stewing over this post for the past few days. The film vs. digital debate is tired, and I don't want to stir the pot here, but I do want to get a few things off my chest. I think there is a conversation to be had about film and digital photography without having it slide into an us versus them, or them versus us, debate. We are all them and us. Great pictures get made, every day, by talented, hardworking, resourceful photographers with a battery of different tools.
The fact that we have the options, and the idea that those options might be jeopardized, is at the heart of the issue for me. Last week, Kodak applied for bankruptcy protection. The (eventual) death of film was declared. Yet, the same day, as I read the newest issue of PDN, the stark contrast to that news couldn't have been more evident. There was Rineke Dijkstra shooting film, Shelby Lee Adams also pulling sheets, and Danny Clinch talking about the breadth of tools he employs to make photographs - both film and digital.
As photographers, we somewhat bend to the fact that technology, our tools, define us. I'm not saying the cameras we choose, but the machine in general. It has limitations - it's a perfectly imperfect machine. On a more romantic day, I would argue otherwise, but as I write this I'm feeling a little more pragmatic, as I think about the reality of having less possibilities. Less resources.
At the end of the day, I don't care where a photograph comes from - good work is good work. Period. But, I also find great joy in trying to put myself in the heads of other photographers, I enjoy the idea of process, and decision making.
I've been thinking a lot about Joel Sternfeld lately. His new body of work First Pictures is an interesting example. Let's strip away the digital/film issue and concentrate on his use of different formats, different tools. he couldn't have made those first pictures with an 8x10. Conversely, he couldn't have made American Prospects with 35mm. And, iDubai? That's another discussion. The differences between the works are important - there is much to learn there about him, history, color, and photography in general. Sternfeld is going to make good, thought provoking, and many times difficult photographs, regardless of the tools he uses. However, I think its important to recognize that this decision in regards to the tool is an important one, and in no small part dictates how he approaches his subject. The same could be said for all of us.
© Joel Sternfeld
It's this decision making aspect that makes me uneasy about the idea of Kodak packing it in. Currently, the digital formats that are in the same economic universe as most of us is limited. 35mm equivalents are it (as incredible as they are). Medium format digital or 4x5 back? Forget about it. With the (future) death of film also dies choices. I think (hope) our history as photographers lives outside the technology, but only if we are spread across a wide and varying spectrum of choices in tools, and don't let the market dictate those choices.
A good argument could be made that Kodak's ambivalence to the revolution is in large part to blame for the vs. problem. To be fair, conversations like this probably aren't helping. We live in an interesting time, no doubt, and I can't help but think what the present would be if Kodak had embraced digital photography as an extension of a heritage, instead of something different and threatening. And, found a way to bring all of it together as an image making culture of choices. Had the wherewithal to follow "you press the button, we do the rest" with an embracing "we are all photographers".

While the past may not be repeated, it's important to think about what's happened before when tech changed. If we look at music, vinyl (dead with the advent of mp3) is surging back as a niche product. In the visual arts, ancient methods like painting, wood cuts, and pen and ink still exist.
Worst case, the cost of making film goes so high it just disappears. Given the rate at which ccd capacity is growing and price is dropping, I'd expect large format digitals to gradually become available. More likely, somebody will buy up the film making tech and do small batch processing. Costs will be higher than today but you'll still be able to get film.
It's going to be an interesting dynmic.
- ben said...
dogu, thanks for your comment.
In regards to vinyl - the music industry is an interesting example, but I'm not as concerned in the end product (the vinyl) I'm more interested in the act of recording. I won't speculate here, as I know nothing of the music industry, but if that were my world I guess my interest would be in the production. Again, I won't speculate.
This is an interesting dynamic, and I agree, film isn't going to die. And, let's be honest, it's expensive now, regardless of its niche interest. I guess my larger point is that just being available isn't good enough. We're pricing new photographers out of being artists. The prices and the cries of "film is dead' only reinforce the decision for new photographers that DSLRs are the only relevant option. The market is driving creative decisions.

i totally agree, "a good photograph is a good photograph", regardless of camera type or process. however, each technology carries its own unique style and unique set of limitations. kodak's film division is still profitable, i think because most serious (art) photographers still shoot with medium or large format film; alec soth's amazingly poignant, sharp and detailed portraits have a certain style that cannot be reproduced using a camera phone or even an expensive digital camera. however, one could make the argument that even with film, the final product nowadays is usually digital, because the negatives are typically scanned in to a computer, adjusted in photoshop and then printed with an inkjet.
- ben said...
good Points, Patrick, and I don't disagree, and actually your final point is an important one in several contexts.
What I'm most interested in though, is not artists who have found their way, but younger photographers. I've been thinking about this in the context of teaching - where is the bridge between digital and film? How is Alec's process relevant to a kid just starting out? With the price and ultimate scarcity of film, where is the future for these kids, and how do I navigate that?
Speaking of Alec, he said recently (can't remember where, and I'm paraphrasing) that one of the problems with new technology is that photographers don't have the time to truly master their tool. I think this is spot on, and something I've been thinking a lot about with my classes.
Anyway, will do another blog post later to wrap this up and put it to bed. Thanks for your thoughts.

yah. film probably won't go away entirely but its price could eventually make it a tool exclusively of the "rich". but maybe not. i took an alternative processes class last year (e.g. cyanotype, kalitype, platinum - palladium, etc...); the "old school" contact printing methods that were invented in the 1800's. There are only 2 places left in the world which still manufacture the chemicals; 1 happens to be in Santa FE. Some of the chemical kits are expensive (especially if they contain platinum), but some are actually quite affordable. (luckily we only had to pay for paper and brushes for the class..) Nonsilver printing is considered a "niche" with only a handful of practitioners but price-wise its not out of reach to the average joe. i think one of the things that has helped keep film affordable is the movie industry since they use so much of it, but i'm not sure where they are in the "transition" to digital (and how that would effect the price of film). but perhaps one of the upsides to digital is that its better for the environment since you're consuming less materials and water, and not using as many toxic chemicals.

I think you're right that it's about formats and not medium. 35mm film has been eclipsed by digital cameras and the film industry has suffered because most of it was propped up by consumer use. Most professional artists who still use film are probably using the larger formats and those are not relatively expensive in comparison to their digital equivalents.
I shoot film because I love 6x7 and there's no digital camera under five figures that will give me the same result. It's expensive compared to shooting 35mm digital, but it's not compared to medium format digital. If someone markets an affordable medium format digital camera, I'd be on it in a heartbeat, because it's the format that I love. I love the latitude of film, but have no nostalgia for all the scanning, spotting and lab turnaround, which just get in the way of me being able to assess my images quickly. I just want the right tool to do the job I want done!
- ben said...
Thanks for your comment Jin.
I too, am looking forward to getting behind a digital 6x7 in the not too distant future.
- Gustaf said...
Besides the long term future of film, a more immediate concern might be the access to good dedicated film scanners. I live in fear of the day when my medium format scanner dies as there are no spare parts available. The only currently marketed alternative as far as I know is a Flextight which is pretty close in cost to digital medium format cameras. Also, sign me up for that digital 6x7 please.

It's really hard when you have a baby and none of your friends do, to not be a massive arsehole about it. I mean doing that thing where when they say something like "I was in the shower the other day..." and you respond with "A SHOWER!!!!! I haven't washed since 1978!!! You can't when you've got a BABY YOU KNOW. WHEN YOU HAVE A BABY YOU'LL UNDERSTAND!!!!"
Or similar responses to tales of mini-breaks, lie-ins or trips to the cinema.
I'm mostly pretty sanguine about stuff like that. Whatevs. I chose to have a baby. And I'm pleased about it - mostly because I'm bored with mini-breaks and trips to the cinema. And Kitty sleeps now so I get to have my lie-in. I mean, until 7am.
But the other day someone suggested that they might come round for lunch. Not that they might bring round lunch for us all, but they might come round for lunch. That I would make for them to sit down and eat.
Lunch. Now lunch is something I haven't cooked and eaten in my own home for a long, long time. I've got other shit to do. Even on the weekend. And that's fine - I've always thought lunch was boring as hell. Now I eat cheese sandwiches at 12.45pm and very happy I am with it, too. But the suggestion that I am going to cook, on a weekend, lunch for other people? Are you. Fucking. Out. Of. Your. Mind?
I did not say this. I kept it to myself. They don't understand - and that's okay. One day they will understand and by then Kitty will be about 10 and making ME fucking lunch and mixing me gins and tonic and I'll laugh until I'm sick.
But, as I said, Kitty sleeps now and goes to bed at 7pm sharp. So dinner - now dinner is a thing that we're getting back on track. (I mean, not for other people - one step at a time, pal.) And the other night, in my ongoing obsession with cabbage, (I do not understand it, but it is a fact), I made Jamie Oliver's Italian cabbage soup and it was out of this world. Really, really amazing - I can't recommend it highly enough.
I did this for 2, so the quantities are quite small, but don't fret too much about exact amounts if you are doing this for more people, because it's only a soup for god's sake
Jamie's Italian cabbage soup, for 2
6 savoy cabbage leaves - not the horrid leathery outer ones, stalks removed and roughly chopped
2 handfuls of curley kale or cavolo nero
5 or 6 slices of 1in-thick sourdough - or you could use ciabatta. Is that sourdough? I'm never sure
1 large clove garlic
4 rashers bacon or pancetta, chopped
4 anchovies - please, picky eaters, do not leave these out. It won't taste like fish I PROMISE, it'll just taste savoury
2 pints chicken stock - you really need actual chicken stock here
2 handfuls parmesan
2 handfuls pecorino - Jamie's recipe specified fontina but Waitrose didn't have it so I used pecorino and it was very nice
1 stalk rosemary, leaves picked
3 sage leaves
some olive oil
salt and pepper
1 Bring the chicken stock to a simmer and cook the greens until soft - about 3 mins. Then remove to a bowl, leaving the chicken stock in the pan.
2 In a casserole dish heat about 3 tablespoons of olive oil and then fry the bacon and anchovies until the bacon is coloured, then add the rosemary leaves and the sage and cook for another 2 minutes
3 Then put back in the greens, toss them about and then put back in the bowl
4 Lightly toast your sourdough and then rub one side of each with the cut face of the garlic
5 To assemble your soup, put 1 or 2 slices of bread on the base of the casserole pan, then some cabbage, salt and pepper, some of each cheese and a drizzle of olive oil. Then repeat until all your bread, cabbage and cheese is gone - finishing off with bread sprinkled over with cheese.
6 To finish pour your stock in and shove in a 180C oven for 30 mins. I did 15 mins with lid on and then 15 mins with lid off because I didn't want the top to burn and it worked out really well.
Just don't expect me to make it for you for lunch.

A day after he was arrested in a federal sweep, California state Sen. Leland Yee on Thursday announced through his attorney that he is withdrawing his candidacy for secretary of state.
The announcement came amidst growing calls for Yee to resign from the Senate, with everyone from Sen. Dianne Feinstein to State Sen. President pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg asking him to step down.
"The allegations against Senator Yee are shocking," Feinstein said in a statement released Thursday afternoon. "It has become clear he has lost the confidence of his colleagues and for the good of his constituents should step down."
State senators will meet in the Senate Chambers in Sacramento on Friday morning to ask Yee to resign, according to Steinberg's office. If Yee refuses, he will be suspended, Steinberg's office said.
State Sen. Mark Leno said, after Friday's vote, Yee "will not be on the floor of the Senate ever again."
At a Thursday morning news conference in front of San Francisco's Federal Building, attorney Paul DeMeester said Yee has not yet made a decision about whether to resign from his state Senate seat, as he is making decisions "one day at a time." Yee, who had been termed out of his position as state senator, had been one of eight candidates for the secretary of state position.
DeMeester said that Yee informed Secretary of State Debra Bowen of his decision to withdraw from the race after noon on Thursday.
"It's a very personal choice, a personal thing that he wanted to do," DeMeester said.
A federal complaint unsealed Wednesday accused the San Francisco Democrat of engaging in a conspiracy to traffic firearms and accepting campaign donations in exchange for official acts. In one instance, Yee, who has been a strong advocate for gun control during his decade in the state legislature, allegedly discussed setting an undercover agent up with an international arms dealer, warning that such business dealings are "not for the faint of heart," according to the complaint.
Yee, 65, was charged with conspiracy to traffic in firearms without a license, and to illegally import firearms as well as a scheme to defraud citizens of honest services.
NBC Bay Area broke news of his arrest.
Yee and Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow, leader of the Chee Kung Tong Free Masons in San Francisco, were among 26 defendants charged in the federal criminal complaint Wednesday, U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag of the Northern District of California said.
Yee has served in the state Legislature for more than a decade, and was elected to the State Senate in November 2006, representing District 8, which includes San Francisco and San Mateo County.
He posted a $500,000 unsecured bond and is scheduled to return to court on Monday.
Yee represents Senate District 8, which includes the western half of San Francisco and most of San Mateo County. He declared his candidacy for secretary of state in 2012.
This is not Yee's first brush with the law. Yee was arrested in 1992 in Hawaii on suspicion of walking out of a KTA store with a bottle of Tropical Blend Tan Magnifier Oil stuffed under his shirt. The case was eventually dismissed.
He had another brush with law enforcement in 1999, when he was stopped in San Francisco's Mission District's "hooker-row area" near Capp Street. Yee denied soliciting prostitues, telling the media: "They presume that people are driving around there looking for prostitutes, but there are people who use that street to go home. They said there was somebody they thought looked like me who may have been soliciting. And I said, 'No, I was coming from work.'"
Meanwhile, the remaining candidates running for Secretary of State have reacted to Yee's arrest and alleged political corruption.
Fellow state senator and Democratic candidate Alex Padilla, D-Pacoima, issued a statement calling the criminal allegations "another blow to the institution of the California State Senate."
Padilla did not comment on how the arrest and charges against Yee would affect the upcoming June primary and November election.
Secretary of State Green Party candidate David Curtis said this morning that the focus of the race has turned to "Yee's situation" and he said he wondered, "How do you get people's attention back to the other candidates?"
Curtis said for frontrunner Padilla, Yee's arrest is a double-edged sword with some voters concerned that a fellow state senator comes from the same money-grubbing "gene pool," while others are moving away from Yee and aligning with Padilla instead.
Democrat Derek Cressman was also running against Yee for Secretary of State, and said in a statement that Yee's address is a "wake-up call" and that, "We are clearly beyond the point of looking at one bad apple and instead looking at a corrupt institution in the California senate."
According to the California Secretary of State office, at this point in the election process, Yee's name cannot be removed from the ballot and he is considered an official candidate for the position.
State Sen. President pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, has called on Yee to resign from the senate.
He said senators would move to suspend Yee and that he is removing Yee from his committee positions.
Bay City News contributed to this report.

HANGTIME SOUTHWEST — Andray Blatche can be a baaaaaad man. By both interpretations of the vernacular.
His talent (if not always his effort) is undeniably positive, a big man with a handle so supple he makes guys half his size envious. And, man, does he have moves. Like Sunday night when he sized up Sixers center Spencer Hawes a step inside the arc and with one dribble to the right put Hawes on his heels, veered into the paint, launched himself to the rim while levitating the basketball on the upturned fingertips of his right hand only to flip his wrist at the last moment and throw it down.
His behavior, however, is equally as undeniably negative. Confounding, maddening, a chain of self-inflicted screw-ups, senseless altercations, childish decision-making and outright selfishness.
Google "Andray Blatche" and "trouble." Before you can finish typing "trouble," "trouble again" pops up.
There are hard-headed players who enter the league too young, too ill-equipped to handle the sudden wealth and freewheeling lifestyle, or are simply too stubborn, and never materialize. Phoenix's Michael Beasley is well down that road and Sacramento's DeMarcus Cousins may be, too.
For some, the light bulb eventually comes on. For others, it never does. Blatche, in his first season with the Brooklyn Nets, is standing at that career crossroads. And why not hope for a so-far feel-good story to continue that way on Christmas, when Blatche, granted new life in the league, and his recently wobbly Nets play host to the Boston Celtics (Noon ET, ESPN)?
"I'm wiser, definitely wiser," Blatche said last week during a telephone interview. "Just more open-minded today. Back then I didn't have my priorities straight."
Blatche is averaging 11.5 ppg, 6.0 rpg and 49.8 percent shooting in 21.0 minutes as a valued reserve. His per-36 numbers have soared to career-best levels of 19.8 points and 10.3 rebounds.
But, there's also been signs that Blatche still doesn't get it. After the Nets' home opener, Blatche ran out of gas and thought it'd be a good idea to share his misadventure via Twitter. While an empty tank is no a crime, it's not exactly a sign of staying on top of things. Putting it on Twitter didn't do much to enhance his reputation.
A few weeks later, as his old Washington Wizards were in midst of a long losing streak to start the season, Blatche ribbed the club that drafted him and signed him to an extension in interviews and on Twitter. He said the Wizards, who drafted him in the second round and signed him to an extension despite numerous red flags, didn't support him and "they tried to end me."
So the ending to this story, happy or sad, is far from told.
"It was a reality check," Blatche said. "I almost lost something that I love doing, so you can say it was a wake-up call."
Blatche isn't talking about the Wizards surrendering by using the amnesty clause to rid themselves of Blatche, even with all that talent to still to be mined and with $23 million over three seasons still to be paid.
"There was no doubt in my mind that [being amnestied] was going to happen," Blatche said. "So it was more of just getting myself ready for the next stage of whatever was going to happen."
Only nothing happened. Blatche's phone didn't ring. July, August, nothing.
"Oh yeah," Blatche said. "During the summer, I didn't get no phone calls."
The only ringing Blatche heard was his his alarm clock jolting him out of an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar condo in an unfamiliar city. He was up by 8 a.m. each day and at 8:30 sharp, Blatche stepped into Houston's sticky morning air to see John Lucas waiting for him.
Lucas, ex-NBA player and coach, is a former drug addict who has guided numerous players back on the straight and narrow. He wanted to help the 6-foot-11, one-time prodigy rescue the career he's dragging through the gutter.
"I met him our last home game in D.C.," Blatche said. "We had a meeting and he talked to me and said, 'listen, I've been where you're at right now.' Basically that I can help you, get your body back right, and get your game tuned up to get you back playing. I believed him basically."
Lucas put Blatche through rigorous workouts on the basketball court, in the weight room and on the track. He enforced nutrition rules and as the summer wore on Blatche's bloated physique firmed up.
Nets coach Avery Johnson lives outside of Houston in the offseason. It might be the only reason Blatche is playing in the NBA this season.
"I think it's well documented that I worked him out before the season at my home outside of Houston and I talked to John Lucas about him, and I think for me on the court, I'm not surprised," Johnson said. "Blatche is talented. He's a multi-offensive player. He can pass, dribble and shoot. He can play in the low post, he can play at the high post, so he's talented offensively and he's learning more and more how to play in our system and with his teammates.
"I will say off the court, I'm pleased because the reputation that he came in here with, I haven't seen it," Johnson said. "I told him when I signed him that it was going to be a clean slate. I gave him about 10 or 12 different things that we need to focus on and what's important to me, and he hasn't broken one rule. He's been early, he eats right, he works out hard, so I don't anticipate having any problems with Blatche because he wants to be good, he wants to be coached, but he understands that we have rules and he knows what I expect from him."
The player who fought his ex-Wizards teammate JaVale McGee outside a nightclub, propositioned a prostitute that was actually a cop, introduced "Lapdance Tuesdays" to the NBA and embarrassed himself with an inglorious attempt to secure a triple-double in a game, signed a one-year, non-guaranteed contract with Brooklyn in September.
"In general, he knows what time I want him on the bus, he knows on the road, even if we have practice, he's knows he's probably going to have to get in an extra workout if we need him to," Johnson said. "If we have a day off, some of the players have a day off, that may not mean a day off for him. My point is, he's been very, very coachable and he really wants to be good. I've been pleased with that."
Well, not so much with the public taunting and teasing of his former club. Blatche said he was only having fun and speaking his mind.
"That was a no-no. You won't hear that again," Johnson said. "Yep, you will not hear that again. We're not going to deal with that anymore."
All things considered, the Nets are getting their money's worth this season. Blatche said he wants to re-sign with Brooklyn, to re-pay the franchise for giving him a chance.
There's still a whole lot of season to play to see how Blatche handles himself. The Nets will need more proof that the light bulb is on, and that Blatche will be a baaaaaad man in the only interpretation that really matters.

Barrie's OT goal lifts Avalanche past Blackhawksby Brian Hedger
CHICAGO -- It was the kind of game that called for a vintage Patrick Roy performance in net.
Instead, Roy watched Semyon Varlamov lead the injury-plagued Colorado Avalanche to a 3-2 overtime win Tuesday night at United Center, beating the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks for the second time in three games.
Varlamov stopped 46 of the 48 shots he faced, didn't allow Chicago (30-8-11) to score on five power plays and held off the Blackhawks long enough for Tyson Barrie to end it 4:09 into OT with his second goal of the game.
"He's been like this since the start of the year," the Avalanche's first-year coach, said of Varlamov. "He's been outstanding. We rally around him and that was the type of performance we needed from our goalie to beat the Blackhawks."
That's because the Avalanche (29-12-5) are dealing with a rash of injuries. They came into the came with four players on injured reserve and also didn't have backup goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere (back) or center Paul Stastny (leg), each believed to be day-to-day.
Prior to the game, Roy planned to play seven defenseman because of Stastny's absence, but wound up icing 17 skaters after Cory Sarich was a late scratch with a back issue of his own. The Avalanche then lost Erik Johnson to a back injury during the game.
Johnson played one shift midway through the third, leaving Colorado with five defenseman and 11 forwards to finish the game.
"It's been a bit wild the last week or two," said Barrie, who missed the previous game at the Minnesota Wild with a minor shoulder issue. "Everyone seems to be going down with something. I think it says a lot about our team. We're well-coached, we know what we're doing and when guys step in it's pretty easy on us. Guys have done a good job filing in."
Barrie is at the front of that list.
His two goals gave him five for the season, but three have come in his past three games and he's scored a pair of overtime winners. Barrie's first against Chicago opened the scoring at 14:58 of the first and needed some fortunate bounces to beat Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford. His game-winner was a one-time laser off a cross-ice feed by Duchene that left Crawford (23 saves) no chance.
The victory exacted a measure of revenge for a 7-2 defeat against the Blackhawks here on Dec. 27, but also put the Avalanche (63 points) even further ahead of the Minnesota Wild (55 points) in the Central Division. Minnesota lost 3-0 to the Ottawa Senators.
Colorado sits third in the Central and holds the division's last guaranteed spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
"It's always tough when you have injuries, but we knew what we wanted to do in here," Barrie said. "They embarrassed us last time we were in here and these are a huge two points for us. We want to keep climbing and [securing] our playoff spot."
Barrie's second goal made the Blackhawks pay for a hooking penalty called on captain Jonathan Toews, who hauled down Andre Benoit near the Avalanche blue line at 3:34 of OT. It was that kind of night for Chicago, which outshot Colorado 48-26 and controlled play for most of the game.
"I think we did a lot of good things," Toews said. "Tough penalty in the overtime period there. We'll keep working [and] not get overly frustrated by that game. It is a frustrating game, but we'll stay with it and we know we can build off that effort and start playing better hockey than we have been the last few games."
The only Blackhawks to beat Varlamov were Johnny Oduya and Andrew Shaw, each the result of a fortunate puck bounce.
Oduya was credited with his third goal of the season at 8:12 of the second, cutting the Avalanche's lead to 2-1, when Brandon Saad (two assists) fired a shot from the slot that ricocheted off Shaw and Oduya before sailing into the net. Shaw picked up his second point at 7:27 of the third, tying it 2-2 by sliding a shot inside the left post after attempts by Marian Hossa and Saad resulted in rebounds.
Varlamov, Barrie and Ryan O'Reilly were responsible for Colorado's 2-0 lead after the first 20 minutes. Varlamov made several big stops to weather the Blackhawks' early attack, which paved the way for the goals by Barrie and O'Reilly 1:02 apart in the final five minutes.
"We played well right off the bat in the first period and then we just kind of maybe let up and we gave them that two-goal lead," Toews said. "I think the rest of the game, we kept coming back. We put a lot of pressure on them for the next 40 [minutes]. We just couldn't find a way to score enough goals to win."
Each goalie made big stops to keep it tied through regulation, but Varlamov came up big again in OT. He made two nice saves against Patrick Sharp and Michal Rozsival before Barrie ended it.
"You just keep playing," Varlamov said. "It doesn't matter if you lead or they lead. You just keep playing. We started this game very well and did a good job on the penalty kill. The guys blocked shots and played very well in front of me."

Country singer Randy Travis has been charged with driving while intoxicated.
The Grayson County Sheriff's Office says Travis was being jailed without bond Wednesday pending an appearance before a judge in Sherman, about 60 miles north of Dallas.
Sgt. Rickey Wheeler says Travis also faces a charge of retaliation or obstruction. Wheeler had no details on that count. Wheeler says a Texas trooper arrested Travis around midnight Tuesday near Tioga, where the entertainer lives.
A Travis representative did not immediately reply to a message Wednesday from The Associated Press.
Travis in February was charged with public intoxication after being spotted in a vehicle parked in front of a church in Sanger, about 20 miles from Tioga.

35395, Children's Songbook, The Savior, He Sent His Son, 34-35
How could the Father tell the world of love and tenderness?
He sent his Son, a newborn babe, with peace and holiness.
How could the Father show the world the pathway we should go?
He sent his Son to walk with men on earth, that we may know.
How could the Father tell the world of sacrifice, of death?
He sent his Son to die for us and rise with living breath.
What does the Father ask of us? What do the scriptures say?
Have faith, have hope, live like his Son, help others on their way.
What does he ask? Live like his Son.

More News & Resources:
Visit the Are We There Yet? home The "old stereotypes" ... are the "incomplete communities," the single family homes in single-use residential neighborhoods that became defined after WWII as the American Dream. They are connected by wide roads and freeways, and were built farther and farther out from downtowns. These are the neighborhoods that were promoted first by the loan guarantees provided by the G.I. Bill, and supported by the mortgage tax deduction, the lending policies of private banks and a massive road-building program, which together with other factors prompted an exodus from cities to the suburbs. As Buzz Bissinger writes in the 1998 book A Prayer for the City: "The FHA, founded in 1934, was intended to help revive the nation's dormant housing industry during the New Deal. But the ultimate influence of the FHA and its housing cousin, the Veterans Administration, went far beyond that, making the…

The world of boxing is in a lull at the moment. Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, who have dominated the sport in recent years, are still great but are on the downslopes of their careers. Who will succeed them as boxing's top fighter? After last night, the number one contender is Andre Ward.
Ward, at 28, is in his prime. He won a gold medal as a light heavyweight in the 2004 Athens Olympics. He achieved renown as a professional by winning the Super Six World Boxing Classic, where he defeated such formidable opponents as Arthur Abraham and Mikkel Kessler to capture the WBA Super Middleweight Championship. Going into last night's fight against "Bad" Chad Dawson, Ward was 25-0 and universally regarded as one of boxing's top talents.
If Ward had a flaw, it was the perception that he is boring. Not as a fighter–he is no Winky Wright–but as a personality. The current Sports Illustrated has an article on Ward that suggests he doesn't enjoy the popularity of a Mayweather because he is a Christian and a law-abiding citizen. Boxing fans, supposedly, just don't go for that image.
They will now, I suspect. Chad Dawson is an excellent fighter, a light heavyweight with a record, going into last night's bout, of 31-1, with 17 knockouts. He was coming off a win over the great Bernard Hopkins. The fighters agreed to a 168-pound weight limit and fought for Ward's Super Middleweight titles. Both boxers took risks: Ward had to fight an opponent who is significantly bigger, a difference that was obvious in the ring, and gave up a five-inch reach advantage. Dawson, on the other hand, had to fight below his usual weight.
Going in, the fight looked like a pretty even matchup, and some thought it would be a dull, tactical bout. Instead, Ward put on a brilliant performance, dominating throughout and knocking Dawson down three times. Ward's defense was flawless and he went after Dawson from the opening bell. The last knockdown came in the 10th and led to a TKO, as Dawson was unwilling to continue:
When interviewed after his big win last night, Ward began by thanking his lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Sports Illustrated seems to think that sort of thing will limit his popularity, but I'm not so sure. It doesn't seem to have hurt some other athletes (Tim Tebow) and coaches (Tony Dungy). More important, Andre Ward appears to be on his way to demonstrating that he is the best fighter in the world. A few more performances like last night's, and boxing fans won't care whom he thanks.
