Crawford lost a bid for his first shutout this season when Columbus defenseman James Wisniewski scored at 3:09 of the third period. Crawford was sharp, especially early on, in his second straight start following a string of six consecutive starts by backup Ray Emery.
Steve Mason blocked 18 shots for Columbus, which lost its fifth straight and has yet to win in regulation on the road this season. The Blue Jackets have a league-worst 22 points.
Stalberg has scored goals in three straight games and has four goals and three assists in a four-game point streak. Both of his two-goal games this season have been against Columbus.
Hossa extended his points streak to eight games and has five goals and nine assists during the stretch. Sharp has points in 11 of his last 12 games, with nine goals and six assists in that span.
Columbus outshot sluggish Chicago 13-5 in the scoreless first period.
The Blackhawks failed to convert two power plays early in the first, managing just one shot on each advantage. Then the Blue Jackets took charge and created several close-in chances against Crawford, including one by R.J. Umberger when he skated in alone following a turnover.
Chicago got rolling in the second, however, and led 3-0 after 40 minutes.
Sharp opened the scoring at 4:48 with a pinpoint deflection of Hossa’s feed to complete a give-and-go.
After Sharp dished the puck to Hossa on the left wing boards, Sharp drove to the net against Columbus defenseman Marc Methot. Although Sharp appeared to be covered, Hossa managed to bank the puck off the blade of Sharp’s stick and past Mason.
Stalberg made it 2-0 at 8:13, capping a flashy individual effort. He carried the puck in into the Columbus zone on the right wing, then turned and retreated up the boards. He turned again, drove to the net and fired his own rebound past Mason.
Stalberg fired in his second goal on a screened shot from the left circle with 4:12 left in the second to extend the Blackhawks’ lead to 3-0. He ripped a one-timer through traffic after taking a pass from Dave Bolland.
Wisniewski made it 3-1 at 3:09 of the third, shoveling in a shot from the slot after taking a feed from Derek MacKenzie, who had corralled a rebound of Mark Letestu’s shot.
Crawford made a couple of tough saves in a few shaky minutes by the Blackhawks following Wisniewski’s goal.
Hossa’s power-play goal completed the scoring with 4:15 left. He connected from the edge of the crease after taking a pass from Bolland.
Notes: Blackhawks LW Dan Carcillo sat out his fifth game with an upper-body injury, believed to be a concussion. He skated on Monday for the first time in 10 days. ... Chicago C Marcus Kruger returned after missing one game after taking a hit to the head from Pittsburgh’s Deryk Engelland in a game last week. ... The Blackhawks recalled C Brandon Pirri from Rockford of the AHL on Monday to take Kruger’s roster spot. Pirri has been shuttling between Chicago and Rockford. ... Columbus LW Kristian Huselius (lower-body injury) missed his eighth game.
DORCHESTER Sports are set to take on Shaftesbury Town Reserves at Cockrams in the first of a Dorset Premier League double-header tomorrow (3pm).
Sports travel to the Rockies before hosting the north Dorset side one week later at the Clayson Stadium.
Nevertheless, Sports’ boss Ashley James is targeting a response to Saturday’s 6-3 thrashing by Merley Cobham Sports.
He told Echosport: “We’ve got them back-to-back and we’ll be away in the first game, it’s always difficult up there.
“It’ll be another tricky one for us and coming off the back of Saturday’s result makes it a little bit harder but hopefully we can bounce back.
Luke Gatehouse, Alex Gould and Jamie Quinton miss out but Jamie Rawlings returns.
Now that we're good and (sort of) settled into the PlayStation 4 generation, Sony is adjusting PlayStation Plus, its premium online gaming service, for all three of its major gaming devices.
Sony marketing VP John Koller spelled out the changes in a post on the PlayStation Blog today. By his description, it sounds like the company is primarily formalizing the process of making select games available for PS Plus subscribers, free of charge, for a period of time on the PS4, PS3, and PS Vita consoles.
Under the new system that goes into effect in July, PS Plus subscribers will have access to two free games on each respective console through the existing "Instant Game Collection" network. Koller said that the availability of these games will follow a clearer time window than they did previously, so subscribers will only be able to access them from the first Tuesday of a given month until the first Tuesday of the following month.
Koller's post made no mention of pricing, so I take it that the the service is going to cost the same amount going forward—$49.99 for a full year, $17.99 for three months, and $9.99 for one month.
The good news for PlayStation owners and PS Plus subscribers is that they're guaranteed two new titles on each of the consoles rather than one, which is what they had before. The bad news is that the stricter time window will limit access to Sony's Instant Game Collection in a way that it didn't before.
"In the coming weeks, you'll see that several of the titles that have had a nice, long stint in the Instant Game Collection will be phased out," Koller said in the announcement.
Now, this doesn't mean that PS Plus members can only access these games without buying them during the four week time window that they're available on the Instant Game Collection, mind you. Subscribers can still amass a collection of ICG titles to their hearts content, they'll just have to be a bit more organized and proactive about linking them all to their account. Also, remember that your access to these games only extends as far as your PS Plus membership does. So if you end your membership for any reason, you won't be able to bring any of these games with you.
The changes to Sony's PlayStation Plus service are arriving shortly after Microsoft said that it was adjusting its Xbox Live service in several ways that brought it more in line with Sony's current offerings.

Why Does Rock Star Nick Mason's Ferrari Enzo Have A Spare Accelerator Pedal?
I recently stumbled into the deep, dark hell-hole that is the related video purgatory of automotive YouTube videos and came across this video of Harry Metcalfe, formerly of EVO Magazine, driving a Ferrari Enzo owned by Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason—who keeps a spare accelerator pedal in the boot for some reason.
Now, it’s normal to find at least one attached accelerator pedal in a car, sure, but why would you need to keep a “spare” in the frunk of your million dollar Ferrari? Is that a “just in case” situation Enzo drivers have to worry about?
I reached out to some people who know Ferraris and showed them this video and it perplexed even them. Apparently it is normal for Ferrari to offer spares of anything to the owners of their super-exclusive, super expensive cars, but not typical for an owner to just have one pedal lying on the floor of the frunk. Often times people purchase spare pedals for vanity; as a piece of art or something to show off in their home or office.
But this pedal looks to just be a typical metal pedal. The people I spoke to said a vanity pedal would be in brass or gold, or have a Ferrari horse in gloss black, or some sort of expensive and fancy decor. Mason’s spare pedal is just a typical milled metal piece.
The only practical purpose I could come up with was that Nick Mason may have a specially sized pedal he keeps around for when the car isn’t being driven by others or for special track day use.
Other than that I have no clue, and it’s not really important. I’m just curious if anybody else has any idea why you would need a spare accelerator pedal lying around. Give me your ideas.
"That's what that s--- does to your tongue, imagine what it's like on your internals.
"Found out it's the chemicals in these drinks that are causing it... it literally eats away at your tongue."
Though Dan doesn't make it clear how long he's been hooked on energy drinks, it's likely he had been drinking five or six a day for some time.
A study by the World Health Organization adds: "A study in the US showed that dental cavities can result from the acidic pH and high-sugar content of products such as energy drinks.
"Another study showed that consumption of energy drinks can cause erosion and smear layer removal in the teeth, leading to cervical dentin hypersensitivity."
Professor David Hammond said: "The number of health effects observed in our study suggests that more should be done to restrict consumption among children and youth.
A doll teaching girls that engineering is no longer just a man’s world has been on the shop floor in Suffolk.
Lottie the Engineering Doll was seen in the turbine hall at Sizewell B nuclear power station.
She is used to illustrate what a career in engineering might look like to help fire the imagination of girls as well as boys.
WES posted photos of them at work on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, with the hashtag #LottieTour, as part of Tomorrow’s Engineers Week, which ran from November 5-9.
They also published blogs describing what Lottie got up to uploaded on the WES and Lottie Doll’s websites.
More than 150 engineers, female and male from all over the world, have been involved in taking photos using Lottie dolls borrowed from WES, coordinated by the WES Young Members’ Board.
Lottie has visited a number of companies involved in engineering in the UK including EDF Energy, National Grid, Balfour Beatty, Aston Martin and Arup, UK universities including the Open University and Heriot-Watt, and has been to Finland, USA and Dubai.
Manufacturers Lottie Dolls donated an additional 50 figures to winners of the Top 50 Women in Engineering competition so they could participate too.
Lottie Dolls also produced bespoke PPE for WES including hard hats, high vis jackets, safety glasses and lab coats, so Lottie is ready to go on to site or into a lab.
As landlords and homeowners, we understand why some of our landlord friends are anxious about the proposed rent control ordinance on the ballot. Some of us are nervous about Measure M’s potential restraints on our power to raise rents and evict tenants. We all grew up here in the U.S. — property is sacred.
It’s not difficult to imagine being that person who now has to drive an hour to work after dropping their kids at a new school and then drive even farther to get to a job that used to be nearby. We agree that keeping renters and their families in their homes is crucial for all of us if only to slow the increase in commuter traffic.
And many of our landlord friends support the regulation of housing, even rent control in principle, just “not this ordinance.” We know there was some early misinformation that suggested Measure M would stop nuisance evictions (which it doesn’t) and allow endless subleasing (which it doesn’t) but those have long been debunked, so why the worry?
Is it relocation costs? To move into a new home, renters usually need about three months’ market rate rent for first, last and deposit in addition to the extended and sordid costs of relocation. This translates for landlords into a relocation fee of six months of HUD level rent that is a tax-deductible cost that, while certainly substantial, would occur only in the case of an eviction that is not the renter’s fault, and that we might foresee, like a family move-in.
But what of the rent board? Maybe that is what folks are worried about? The rent board will likely have both renters and landlords on it since it is an elected body. If it works like rent boards in other cities, it might be volunteer or salaried. The cost will be zero to the city and negligible to landlords (Mountain View’s board costs $160/unit/year or about $14/month/unit). And the benefits from the flexibility and oversight it brings will be substantial. Without a rent board, local people have no way to manage the process of preserving a healthy community for all of us. The rent board will be there to help both landlords and tenants to maintain our freedoms.
But then also, some of our friends have heard negative predictions about the rental market. Those fears turned out to be unfounded. The big studies, like Stanford’s, and Haas’ (even the LAO) make it clear that rent control does not prohibit landlords from evicting problem tenants, and it does stabilize communities. In Santa Cruz already, the temporary rent freeze has protected dozens of community members who want to stay in their homes. What is true is that the largest out-of-town corporate land investors are funding the opposition and pushing the negative story. They do not want our community to come together to support families who rent. It’s mom-and-pop landlords and homeowners, like us, who do.
What is really sacred in Santa Cruz is caring for each other. We believe regulation should be used to balance power. And we have now planted the seeds for a new vision of community, one where we all feel like Santa Cruz is home. We have an opportunity to nurture these seeds through reasonable rent control. As landlords, home-owners and community members, we are supporting it. On reflection, we think, in your heart, you may, too.
This op-ed is from landlords and homeowners who support Measure M: Kyle Lane-McKinley, Rob Lemon, Debbie Gould, Laurie Palmer, Michael Gasser, Costanza Rampini, Mary Graydon-Fontana, Jeffrey Smedberg, Madeline Lane-McKinley, Rachel O’Malley, Ron Pomerantz, Josh Brahinsky, Josh Muir, Michelle Glowa, Nita Hertel, Akiko Minami, Dr. Elisa Breton, Rick Longinotti, Michael Levy, Matt Nathanson, Thomas Witz, Mara Margolis, Zeke Bean.

Bride Ashley Griffeth and her bridesmaids stretching before the race.
On the Fourth of July, Needham residents Ashley Griffeth and Brendan Mackoff went the distance for their wedding day, a full 5 kilometers. The couple ran in the Charles River YMCA Independence Day 5k and tied the knot that same afternoon.
The 16-person running team, registered as “The Wedding Crashers,” consisted of Mackoff, his groomsmen, father, and two uncles along with Griffeth and her bridesmaids.
“The race was awesome, we were able to stay with our bridal parties the entire time, so no one got separated,” said Griffeth.
The bride and groom managed not to lay eyes on each other throughout the race — thanks to the vigilance of their bridesmaids and groomsmen — albeit there were a few close calls, Griffeth said.
Griffeth ran with a veil adorned with tulle flowers made by each of her third-grade students. This was her first class in Needham and many of her students, along with some of her future students for next year, were there to cheer her on.
Griffeth wore a white tank top with “in it for the long run” on the back, while her bridesmaids ran in pink tank tops. All the groomsmen ran in tuxedo running T-shirts. Mackoff, who grew up in Hopkinton and will soon start as product manager at TripAdvisor, also wore a top hat.
The back of Mackoff’s shirt read “Get me to the church on time,” an homage to his late grandfather who owned a house along the original race route and started the family’s 30-year tradition of running in the race.
While this was the third time the couple had participated together, Griffeth and Mackoff said this particular race was about family and tradition, as opposed to a fast race time.
There is a prototype countdown clock at the S57, S78 and S79 SBS bus stop on Hylan Boulevard and Reno Avenue in New Dorp.
CITY HALL -- The city will install about 100 countdown clocks at Staten Island bus stops.
The Department of Transportation will add the bus arrival signs at some 350 stops across the city this year with $12.8 million. High-traffic routes and select-bus-service lines will be targeted for the clocks.
Mayor Bill de Blasio will announce the investment at his State of the City address on Thursday night.
The city will work with elected officials and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority on exact siting, but some are planned for the S79 select-bus-service route.
The clocks use GPS on buses. There are two prototype countdown clocks at bus stops on Staten Island already.
There is one at the S51 and S75 stop on Bay and Prospect streets in Stapleton. Another is at the S57, S78 and S79 SBS stop on Hylan Boulevard and Reno Avenue in New Dorp.
The new clocks are possible with $6.8 million in funding from elected officials beside de Blasio, including Councilwoman Debi Rose (D-North Shore) and Minority Leader Steven Matteo (R-Mid-Island). That money is expected to support about 250 "bus time sign" clocks.
About $6 million in mayoral and federal funding will go toward "way finding totem clocks" at some 100 select-bus-service stops.
The city is also working with the MTA to add traffic-signal priority for buses on Victory Boulevard.
The Pittsburgh Penguins will try to extend the longest road winning streak in the NHL this season to seven games when they face the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center on Saturday.
