The Painter's Touch: Boucher, Chardin, Fragonard
A new interpretation of the development of artistic modernity in eighteenth-century France
8.5 x 11.5 in.
154 color + 104 b/w illus.
What can be gained from considering a painting not only as an image but also a material object? How does the painter's own experience of the process of making matter for our understanding of both the painting and its maker? The Painter's Touch addresses these questions to offer a radical reinterpretation of three paradigmatic French painters of the eighteenth century. In this beautifully illustrated book, Ewa Lajer-Burcharth provides close readings of the works of François Boucher, Jean-Siméon Chardin, and Jean-Honoré Fragonard, entirely recasting our understanding of these painters' practice. Using the notion of touch, she examines the implications of their strategic investment in materiality and sheds light on the distinct contribution of painting to the culture of the Enlightenment.
Lajer-Burcharth traces how the distinct logic of these painters' work—the operation of surface in Boucher, the deep materiality of Chardin, and the dynamic morphological structure in Fragonard—contributed to the formation of artistic identity. Through the notion of touch, she repositions these painters in the artistic culture of their time, shifting attention from institutions such as the academy and the Salon to the realms of the market, the medium, and the body. Lajer-Burcharth analyzes Boucher's commercial tact, Chardin's interiorized craft, and Fragonard's materialization of eros. Foregrounding the question of experience—that of the painters and of the people they represent—she shows how painting as a medium contributed to the Enlightenment's discourse on the self in both its individual and social functions.
By examining what paintings actually "say" in brushstrokes, texture, and paint, The Painter's Touch transforms our understanding of the role of painting in the emergence of modernity and provides new readings of some of the most important and beloved works of art of the era.
Ewa Lajer-Burcharth is the William Dorr Boardman Professor of Fine Arts at Harvard University. Her books include Chardin Material and Necklines: The Art of Jacques-Louis David after the Terror.
"Ewa Lajer-Burcharth's book changes our sensibilities for eighteenth-century French art; it makes obscure images accessible and allows us to see familiar paintings afresh. While historically contextualized and psychoanalytically informed, this book seriously foregrounds the painter's touch and the materiality of images. It is positively driven by an art historical narrative, and its discussions of the object don't need the underpinning of topical anthropological thing theories. This beautifully produced and generously illustrated book, with close-up images supporting the thick descriptions, is a pleasure to read and to handle. And one wouldn't use these terms lightly after having savored the lessons of The Painter's Touch."—Mechthild Frend, Art Bulletin
"Magisterially written . . . this book is a tour de force of interpretative analysis. Beautifully produced and generously illustrated, it offers a thoroughgoing, radical and at times controversial reassessment of the lives and careers of three of the eighteenth century's greatest painters."—Colin B. Bailey, Burlington Magazine
"Ewa Lajer-Burcharth has written one of the first books that elevates eighteenth-century genre painting to the level of artistic and philosophical complexity that it truly deserves. One could say that it is a lesson in taking the art on its own terms. The result of close to a decade of sustained thought and research, the book is simply stunning. . . . It is Lajer-Burcharth's singular achievement to give us a very different eighteenth century, a 'luminous elsewhere' that's also right here with us. And radically ordinary."—Kevin Chua, Nonsite
"Ewa Lajer-Burcharth's new work continues her radical and original accounts of eighteenth-century French painting. . . . The theories and ideas invoked belong both to eighteenth-century contexts and to unexpected modern inclusions, such as the psychoanalytic philosophy of Andre´ Green. The reader is involved in a vigorous and at times provocative debate, vital to our understanding of the origins of modernity."—Richard Hobbs, French Studies: A Quarterly Review
"Provocative and unsettling. . . . [The Painter's Touch] will surely provide the starting point of new thinking about eighteenth-century French art for decades to come."—Katie Scott, Art History
"In this long-anticipated book, Lajer-Burcharth looks more closely and originally at the very paint of masterpieces by Boucher, Chardin, and Fragonard than anyone may ever have done before. Unexpectedly extending the material turn to the medium we have come to take for granted, oil paint, Lajer-Burcharth convinces us that all great paintings contain deep meanings within their forms. If this book doesn't dispel the aura of frivolity called rococo around three great artists, nothing will."—Anne Higonnet, Barnard College, Columbia University, author of A Museum of One's Own: Private Collecting, Public Gift
"Brilliantly imaginative and provocative, The Painter's Touch is a hugely impressive book that radically recasts our idea of making selves and things, and how they are interformed, at a critical moment of Western modernity."—Satish Padiyar, author of Chains: David, Canova, and the Fall of the Public Hero in Postrevolutionary France

The annual Butterfly Show is one of the most anticipated events at Krohn Conservatory. This year's exhibit, Butterflies of Morocco, will make your inner child flutter with delight.
Despite all these years living in Cincinnati, this was the first time I'd ever been to a Butterfly Show...I'll definitely be coming back again! More than gorgeous flowers and the winged beauties; this exhibit allows everyone to act youthful again as guests chase after and try to catch the butterflies. It's carefree entertainment at its finest.
I quickly learned that if you wear bright colored clothing, it increases your odds of a butterfly landing on you. I hit the jackpot, as this little friend clung onto me throughout the night.
The boyfriend, the babe, and the butterfly.
An attempt to release the butterfly from my skirt led to an attaching to Paul.
...then one landed in my flower.
With creatures bright and bold, hundreds of butterflies soar through the main greenhouse of Krohn. Each doorway is transformed into a "decontamination room" where staff checks to see if any landed on you before entering an adjoining exhibit.
This terrifying, gigantic Atlas Moth is also on exhibit, thankfully, in a cage. With a wingspan of nearly 12 inches, the insect has also adapted its wings to resemble snake heads as a defense tactic. Scared yet? Don't be. The Atlas Moth has no mouth and doesn't even eat for the 2-week duration of its adult life. Instead, it feeds off of fat it built up as a caterpillar. Seems kind of cute now, right?

Hit and Run Crash Leaves Canadian Tourist in Critical Condition
A Canadian man in Miami for the Ultra Music Festival was the victim of a serious hit and run accident Sunday morning. The man was struck from behind with enough force that the vehicle's grill came off and remained in the roadway after the driver fled the scene.
The victim remains in critical condition with injuries that include a broken leg, broken shoulder, bruised lung and facial cuts. The hospital chose to place him in a medically-induced coma to reduce the harmful effects of any possible brain injuries from the accident.
Florida has seen a dramatic rise in the number of fatal hit-and-run crashes during the last two years. Hit-and-run accidents involving fatalities went up 23 percent from 2013 to 2014, and nearly half of 2014 deaths from hit-and-run accidents were pedestrians.
What Do I Do After a Hit and Run Accident?
A hit-and-run accident, or an accident where the driver at fault intentionally leaves the scene after causing injury and/or damage, is a serious crime that should be immediately reported to the police. It is important that the victim of a hit-and-run accident gather as much information as possible about the driver's vehicle and other circumstances of the wreck.
The time, location and nature of the collision can all be crucial pieces of information as the police look for the unsafe driver that failed to stop. Taking pictures of the scene and your vehicle will help with remembering details and making insurance claims. The CRASH acronym can help you remember the steps in the event of an accident:
CALL law enforcement.
ATTAIN vehicle, witness and driver information.
SKETCH the scene, showing vehicle crash locations.
HELP the injured.
Should I Find an Attorney For My Hit and Run Injury Case?
Hiring a knowledgeable personal injury attorney can make all the difference after a hit-and-run accident. After being hurt and left without aid, you don't want to see the guilty party try to avoid responsibility again when it comes to settling medical expenses and other damages.
The injury attorneys at Colson Hicks Eidson will hold those thoughtless drivers accountable while working to provide you with the best possible outcome for your case. Please contact us today or browse through our Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn pages for more information.

British writer Matthew Elliott takes up the formidable challenge of expanding the Sherlock Holmes canon with his marvelous original story "The Honorable Cracksman". After a burglar discovers a cadaver lodged in the chimney of a home during a break-in, he engages Holmes to solve the mystery. As the investigation wears on, the detective finds himself at the office of his elder brother, Mycroft, a government official. It appears that how the man died is of paramount importance to uncovering the facts of the case. David Ian Davies delivers a superb performance that is equal parts disquieting and riveting.
One Voice Recordings' presentation of Matthew Elliott's excellent new Sherlock Holmes pastiche.
Holmes is contacted by a cracksman, or thief, who has entered a residence to commit a 'routine' crime and found a decaying body stuffed in the chimney. Holmes' investigation leads him to the governmental office of his older brother, Mycroft, as the case takes on larger and more ominous dimensions.

Bashine Plybon (defendants) rents a farm. Since at least 1935, she has operated a piggery on the farm and fed the pigs garbage from nearby cities. The garbage is dumped into a field, including the bodies of any dead animals collected along with the garbage. The number of pigs increased from roughly 200 in 1935 to roughly 400 in 1940. During the spring, summer, and fall of 1941, the odors produced by the piggery were so revolting as to greatly impair the enjoyment of nearby homes. The owners of those homes (plaintiffs) brought suit against the defendants. The revolting odors returned during the warmer months of 1942, while the trial was conducted. The trial court found that the piggery was a nuisance, and enjoined the defendants from transporting any additional garbage to the field. The defendants appealed.

Penal Code Section 264: California Penalty for Rape
March 17, 2022 | By Kerry Armstrong | Read Time: 5 minutes
Next to murder, rape is arguably the most heinous crime you can commit against another person. Rape robs the victim of their personal privacy and safety.
Accordingly, the penalty for rape set forth in Penal Code section 264 is harsh.
If you are under investigation for rape or face rape charges, people often assume you are guilty based on the charges alone.
You need a lawyer on your side who knows how to handle tough cases.
Criminal defense lawyer Kerry L. Armstrong and his team with the Law Offices of Kerry L. Armstrong, APLC, are widely recognized and respected for their commitment to seeking justice for their clients.
No matter how bad the allegations are, Kerry and his team will be by your side fighting for you.

What Is Rape?
Penal Code section 261 defines the crime of rape as sexual intercourse without the consent of the victim in certain circumstances.
Those circumstances include sexual intercourse:
Completed with a person other than your spouse knowing that the victim cannot consent because of mental or physical incapacity;
Committed against the will of another by means of force, threats, violence, menacing, duress, or fear of immediate bodily injury to the victim or another person;
Committed with a person incapable of consenting because of intoxication or anesthesia;
Occurring with an unconscious person;
Committed by a person fraudulently inducing—by pretense, artifice, or concealment—the victim's belief that the assailant is someone known to the victim other than the assailant;
Occurring against the victim's will after the assailant threatens to retaliate against the victim or another person in the future unless the victim relents; or
Committed by a public official or someone claiming to be a public official who uses threats of incarceration, arrest, or deportation against the victim or another to overcome the will of the victim.
Under Penal Code section 263, any penetration of the sex organ or anus is rape, even if the penetration was only slight.
Moreover, a person could face prosecution for spousal rape under any of the circumstances, except if the person has a mental disease.
Spousal rape used to be covered under Penal Code section 262, which has since been repealed.
Now, spousal rape is prosecuted under Penal Code section 261 and is treated in largely the same manner as any other rape.
What Is the Penalty for Rape?
The punishment for rape includes a period of incarceration in state prison because rape is a felony. So-called "adult rape" is punished by either three, six, or eight years in prison.
The punishment could increase dramatically if the victim died or sustained serious bodily injury.
The penalty for rape increases significantly if the victim is a minor.
The penalty for rape in Penal Code section 264 increases to either 7, 9, or 11 years in prison if the victim is a minor but older than 14.
The penalty increases to either 9, 11, or 13 years if the victim is 14 years old or younger.
Aiding and Abetting Rape Penalties
Acting alongside with—or aiding and abetting—another person to commit rape carries a state prison sentence of 5, 7, or 9 years.
However, you face 7, 9, or 11 years for aiding and abetting rape if the victim is a minor and is older than 14.
The potential prison time would increase to 10, 12, or 14 years if the victim was 14 years old or younger.
Other Crimes Often Associated with Rape
Aggravated sexual assault of a child occurs when the victim is 14 years old or younger and at least seven years younger than the assailant.
Under Penal Code section 269, aggravated sexual assault includes crimes like:
Rape;
Rape in concert with another;
Oral copulation; and
Sexual penetration.
The penalty ranges from 15 years to life in prison.
Kidnapping is a felony under Penal Code section 207 and is another crime commonly associated with rape.
Kidnapping is punishable by a state prison sentence of 3, 5, or 8 years. The penalties increase to 5, 8, or 11 years if the victim is 14 years old or younger.
Sexual penetration is akin to rape in that penetration, however slight, of a person's genital or anal opening is the essence of the crime under Penal Code section 289.
Sodomy under Penal Code section 286 and oral copulation under Penal Code section 287 are other offenses that carry up to 11 years or more in prison, depending on the victim's age.
Statutory Rape
Statutory rape is a crime because the victim is not old enough to legally consent. Their willingness to participate is irrelevant.
According to Penal Code section 261.5, statutory rape is called unlawful sexual intercourse. The penalty depends on the age of the participants.
The age of consent in California is 18. Statutory rape when the age of the participants differs by three years or less is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail.
An age difference of more than three years is a "wobbler" offense that can be prosecuted as either a misdemeanor or felony.
The punishment is up to one year in jail if prosecuted as a misdemeanor. A felony prosecution could result in serving a one-year sentence in jail instead of prison.
The judge could order the person to serve a split sentence or a suspended sentence as well.
Any person 21 years of age or older found guilty of statutory rape of a minor under 16 is guilty of a misdemeanor or felony.
The person could serve up to one year in jail or up to four years in prison.
Life Sentence or Capital Punishment for Rape
California law allows life sentences or the death penalty for rape in a few instances.
According to Penal Code section 288.7, a person 18 or older could receive a sentence of 25-years to life for having sexual intercourse with a child 10 years old or younger.
A person 18 or older who commits oral copulation or sexual penetration on a child 10 years old or younger could receive a sentence of 15 years to life.
Penal Code section 187 and 189 are California's first-degree murder statutes.
Under Penal Code section 189, a person commits murder in the first degree if they kill someone while perpetrating or attempting to perpetrate rape and other sexual offenses.
These other acts include lewd and lascivious acts, sexual penetration, sodomy, or oral copulation. The punishment for first-degree murder is death, life without parole, or life with parole.
Additional Consequences of a Rape Conviction
A person convicted of rape will face additional consequences beyond incarceration.
First, if convicted of rape, you must register as a Tier 3 sex offender for the rest of your life. This limits the places where you are allowed to live, among other things.
Also, any person who is not a citizen of the United States could face deportation, removal proceedings, exclusion from the United States, or denial of naturalization rights.
Once released from incarceration, you will likely also lose your right to vote, to possess firearms, and many occupations will be closed to you.

For my research I have developed my own automated animal tracking system called AnimTrack. AnimTrack is fully written in Python 2.7 and is based on the Opencv library. It includes a number of helper functions, including camera calibration and a manual user observer option.
AnimTrack enables the tracking of both individual animals as well as groups of tagged animals in a range of environments and provides highly detailed spatio-temporal output of their movements as well as behavioural characteristics. I showcase a number of its capabilities and describe some of the helper functions below. Currently AnimTrack is not available to the public.
This is the classic assay for measuring 'sociability' in fish. My software AnimTrack automatically determines the average distance from the partition separating the conspecific shoal, the maximum distance from the partition, as well as other detailed movement characteristics such as its speed, heading and orientation. Based on these measures it automatically calculates an individual behavioural score as a measure of the social proximity tendency of the fish. In recent work we have shown that this social proximity tendency is strongly linked to speed and that consistent differences in social proximity may arise due to only differences in movement speed between individuals. Watch a video of the tracking in action here: https://youtu.be/Prh57iw16m4.
Besides assays containing a refuge or partitions, I also track the movements of individuals in an open environment to determine their natural movement and turning speed, their pattern of movement, and their wall-following tendency.
This helper function enables the user to select a region of interest by using the mouse in a saved video, an incoming video stream, or on an image, which is subsequently stored for automated integration in AnimTrack. This function also enables the automatic calculation of a conversion factor to get behavioural characteristics in mm automatically from the video pixel values.

It's my third trip to Whisky Fest in San Francisco and every visit is a whole new experience. One may ask "doesn't it get boring seeing the same distilleries every year?" I respond, "No, it's like visiting old friends." If you love whisky, this is why you should go….
Mastery of Whisky for Pernod Ricard, Rick Edwards, describes the Longmorn experience.
Till next year or will it be a new adventure???

One of the main texts we use to guide our reading instruction is the amazing Notice and Note: Strategies for Close Reading by Kylene Beers and Robert Probst, and I have loved gathering all of these picture books to be used with this amazing book. This is therefore the last installment of these posts, Please keep sharing your ideas in the comments because I know many are looking for great picture books to use with these deeper reading strategies.
The first post was on Contrast & Contradictions, then followed Aha Moments,Tough Questions, Words of the Wiser, Again and Again, and now, finally, the last one for Memory Moments. Here I really tried to find picture books that have a true memory moment, which means a character stops the story to share a memory, these can be harder to find. Happy reading!
Emma and the Whale by Julie Case and Lee White has two flashbacks in it that can be considered brief memory moments.
An incredible picture book, When We Were Alone by David A. Robertson and Julie Flett have a memory moment every time the grandmother answers her grandchild's questions. Powerful message that will capture curiosity. This is the book I will use with my 7th graders.
Belle the Last Mule at Gee's Bend by Calvin Alexander Ramsey & Betty Stroud, illustrated by John Holyfield tells the true tale of one of the mules that carried the coffin of MLK Jr. Told through memory moments as a child asks about the mule, this is a great picture book to teach an untold story as well as memory moments.
by Jacqueline Woodson (Author), James Ransome (Illustrator) is a story of one memomy moment after another as the tale of the rope passed from hands to hands is shared by a mother.
Both The Day the Crayons Quit and its follow up The Day the Crayons Came Home by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers have great memory moments as the crayons tell Duncan how they were used and what they remember. Considering these are must have picture books for any classroom, since there are so many things you can teach with them, I am thrilled that both can be used for this strategy as well.
The retelling of the story of King Christian X in The Yellow Star by Carmen Agra Deedy and illustrated by Henri Sørensen is an example of a memory moment in the lesson that we are all to glean from it. The fact that the story is not true does not hinder its deeper meaning.
The books of Peter H. Reynolds has been featured in all of my signpost picture books, and it speaks to their incredible versatility. You and Me written by Susan Verdi and illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds is a memory moment from the start as the characters reminisce about what would have happened had their day not unfolded the way it did. A beautiful story of friendship and serendipity.
A beautiful memory moment exists in the pages of A Chair for My Mother by Vera B. Williams as we learn the story of the chair.
Memories abound as the Wolf shares the story of what really happened with the pigs in Tell the Truth B.B. Wolf by Judy Sierra and illustrated by Jotto Seirold.
As always, I turned to the awesome Notice and Note community on Facebook and asked them to share their favorites as well. Here they are.
Storm in the Night by Mary Stolz and illustrated by Pat Cummings.
When I Was Young in the Mountains by Cynthia Rylant and illustrated by Diane Goode.
As always, please add your favorites for Memory Moments in the comments. Also, did you see the new Notice and Note for Nonfiction? I am so excited to read it.
Andrea Beaty's books Iggy Peck, Architect and Rosie Revere, Engineer both have great memory moments that reveal significant moments that shaped the main characters. Also great examples of flashbacks as a writing tool.
Love the material you're sharing! Thanks for all your hard work.
I teach 8th grade and although I love picture books, I hadn't used them in class very much until this year. I'm finding, as you have noted and as I learned from Lester Laminack at Boothbay this summer, that there is a lot of "bang for the buck" in these short texts. I recently used When I Was Young in the Mountains after reading this great post http://movingwriters.org/2014/09/15/teaching-high-schoolers-how-to-read-like-writers-with-cynthia-rylants-when-i-was-young-in-the-mountains/. Thanks for your great ideas.
Thank you for sharing your lists. I've use them to gather books for teachers as we introduce the signposts. Some books suggested for Memory Moments are memories, but I'm not sure they have the "moment" where a character remembers something significant to the theme or conflict, or details for readers to make a prediction. Just wondering about how you used some of these.

Хали́д Булару́з (, нидерландское произношение: ; 28 декабря 1981, Масслёйс) — нидерландский футболист, защитник.

Клубная карьера
Халид играл во многих молодёжных командах, но всё-таки начал свою профессиональную карьеру в «Валвейке» под руководством Мартина Йола. Свой первый матч Буларуз провёл 9 марта 2002 года против «Херенвена».

Поиграв два года за нидерландскую команду, Халид перешёл в «Гамбург». Именно в Германии к нему и прикрепилось прозвище «Халид — Каннибал» за его жесткую игру. За два сезона в «Гамбурге» он получил 16 жёлтых и 3 красных карточки. Однако благодаря его игре немецкий клуб в Бундеслиге сезона 2005/06 пропустил всего 30 голов в 34 играх, что является лучшим показателем в том сезоне.

В июле 2014 года Халид перешёл в роттердамский «Фейеноорд», подписав с клубом контракт на один год. В новой команде он дебютировал 9 ноября в матче Эредивизи против «Витесса», выйдя на замену во втором тайме. Встреча завершилась вничью 0:0.

Личная жизнь
Перед четвертьфиналом чемпионата Европы 2008 года с Россией у него умерла новорождённая дочь, но игрок нашёл в себе силы отыграть этот матч.

Достижения
 «Гамбург»
 Обладатель Кубка Интертото (1): 2005

 «Челси»
 Обладатель Кубка Англии (1): 2007
 Обладатель Кубка Футбольной лиги (1): 2007

 «Севилья»
 Обладатель Суперкубка Испании (1): 2007

 «Штутгарт»
 Обладатель Кубка Интертото (1): 2008

A man who was shot on Monday night in south western Gothenburg died in hospital, with police still unsure of the victim's identity.
The man was shot in Tynnered on the outskirts of the western Swedish city and rushed to Sahlgrenska hospital, where he died around 10pm.
"We still don't know much about the crime," said Åsa Andersson of the Västergötlands police to the Expressen newspaper.
The man was gunned down by an unknown assailant and found by police near Frölunda square.
"A large number of witnesses contacted us – the street goes through an area with apartment buildings," Andersson told the TT news agency.
Meanwhile, residents who live nearby were shocked by the incident, with some fearing for their own safety.
"It's horrible! I want to move from here but no one wants to switch with me," said local resident Anna Bernsson to the paper.
Police are still unaware of how many shots were fired and of the motive behind the crime, and are yet to take in any suspects for interrogation.

The NHL is officially out of the Olympics — now what?
This is an excerpt from The Buzzer, which is CBC Sports' daily email newsletter. Stay up to speed on what's happening in sports by subscribing here.
The NHL made it official today, announcing that its players won't participate in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing due to pandemic-related issues. Though the writing was on the wall for quite some time, the finality of it all is a huge blow to the players who were excited to compete for their countries, and to fans who were looking forward to watching one of the very best tournaments in all of sports.
So, where do we go from here? Let's try to answer some key questions in the wake of today's announcement:
Any chance the Beijing Olympics get postponed by a year?
That's what happened in March 2020 to the Tokyo Summer Olympics, and a lot of people have commented that this current wave of the pandemic feels a bit reminiscent of that time. But attitudes and approaches to COVID-19 have shifted over the past two years — especially since vaccines began rolling out about a year ago. Yes, the NHL extended its Christmas break in response to a surge in positive tests among its players, but the NFL and NBA have made it clear that pausing their seasons is no longer a viable option.
Whether right or wrong, there's a greater willingness these days to try and push through this rather than shut down. Neither the International Olympic Committee nor Chinese organizers have given any indication that the Beijing Games will not take place this February.
Can NHL players still go to the Olympics on their own?
No. Per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, this could have been a possibility if the NHL Players' Association had been the one to officially make the move to pull out. But it was the league that chose to exercise a clause allowing it to cancel Olympic participation if the pandemic caused a "material disruption to the schedule." With 50 games postponed so far this season (the vast majority of them in the last 10 days) and probably more to come, it was easy for the NHL to make the case that it can no longer afford to shut down for two and a half weeks to send its best players halfway around the world. The players signed off on this, making it a joint decision.
Either way, it's highly unlikely any player would go rogue and leave his NHL team to compete for his country. There was a lot of tough talk from guys claiming they'd do this in 2018, when the NHL and the IOC were squabbling over money. Alex Ovechkin vowed to play for Russia whether the NHL liked it or not. But everyone backed down after the league announced it wouldn't allow players to go to Pyeongchang.
Who will Hockey Canada send to the Beijing Olympics?
With the NHL confirming they will not participate in the 2022 Olympics, Rob Pizzo of CBC Sports looks at who Hockey Canada could send to represent Team Canada's Men's Hockey Team. 3:25
Will there be NHL games during the Olympics?
That's the plan. Commissioner Gary Bettman said the league "will begin utilizing available dates during the Feb. 6-22 window… to reschedule games that have been, or may yet be, postponed." How many games, though, remains to be seen. Many NHL arenas are booked during that time for stuff like concerts and other sports. So the schedule might be lighter than usual. This is being sorted out as we speak.
Who will play for Canada?
A contingency plan was already in place in case the NHL bailed. General manager Doug Armstrong and his staff will step aside, leaving the job of filling out the roster to Hockey Canada executive Scott Salmond and replacement GM Shane Doan, the former Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes forward. Former Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins head coach Claude Julien will be behind the bench.
As for the players, expect something similar to 2018, when Canada's Olympic team was made up mostly of guys playing in the Russia-based KHL, plus some other European leagues. Salmond said players from the AHL (North America's top minor league) and the NCAA (U.S. colleges/universities) will also be considered.
In 2018, the leading scorers on Canada's bronze-winning team were Maxim Noreau, who was playing in the Swiss league, and Derek Roy, who'd moved to the Swedish league after a long career in the NHL. Canada's top goalie was former NHL journeyman Ben Scrivens.
This time, the recognizable ex-NHLers who are candidates to join Team Canada include forwards Eric Fehr, David Desharnais and Cory Conacher, defenceman Jason Demers and goalie Devan Dubnyk. Read more about who might play for Canada in this piece by CBC Sports contributor Vicki Hall.
Who's favoured to win gold now?
Online betting sites (at least the ones I use) took down their men's hockey markets once it became clear that NHL players weren't going. But last week, when it had just started looking like the NHL might pull out and tournament odds were still posted, Russia had been bet up to a slight favourite over Canada to win gold. Makes sense: the KHL is probably the best league outside of North America, and the Russians won gold in 2018 when NHLers were absent.
The MVP of that tournament was Ilya Kovalchuk, a 400-plus goal scorer in the NHL who was still good enough to play there at the time but had chosen to go home to the KHL. After the Olympics, he returned to the NHL for a few years, spent last season back in the KHL, and currently does not have a team. The top two scorers in the tournament were Russia's Nikita Gusev, who's back in the KHL again after a stint in the NHL, and Kirill Kaprizov, who scored the gold-medal winner in OT against surprising Germany before graduating to the NHL. He won the rookie of the year award with the Minnesota Wild last season.
Will NHL players ever go back to the Olympics?
Sounds like everyone is up for it in 2026, when the Winter Games will be held in northern Italy. In the NHL's statement today announcing the withdrawal from Beijing, Bettman said "we look forward to Olympic participation in 2026." In the NHLPA's statement, union head Don Fehr said "we expect that NHL players will return to the Olympics in 2026." By that time, it'll have been 12 years since they last appeared in the Games. And a lot can happen over the next four years. So we'll see.
What's next for Olympic hockey in NHL's absence?
With the COVID-19 cases (and game postponements) piling up, the league and its players agreed to withdraw from the Beijing Olympics. 3:26
Who's the biggest loser here?
The fans. There's nothing in sports quite like the excitement and drama of an Olympic hockey tournament filled with NHL stars. Without them, the men's event can still be entertaining (remember the 1994 gold-medal game between Canada and Sweden, featuring Peter Forsberg's iconic shootout goal?) But, to be honest, it's not the same. Especially now that we've had a taste of the best players on the planet facing off for national pride.
On the players' side, you have to feel for guys like Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews and Nikita Kucherov who were gearing up for their first Olympics. At least they're all on the right side of 30, so they'll probably get another chance in four years. But what about Steven Stamkos? He technically has a gold medal, from 2014, but he didn't play in the tournament due to injury. By the time the next Winter Olympics roll around, he'll be about to turn 36.
Ovechkin is in a similar boat. He has his Stanley Cup, but winning an Olympic gold for Russia might mean even more to him, and he hasn't been able to do it. He'll be 40 in 2026 — maybe still able to play, but perhaps over the hill. Then again, Ovechkin is such a machine (he ranks second in the NHL in goals this season) that he might still be going strong in four years. Read more about what fans will miss with NHLers out of the Olympics in this piece by Vicki Hall.
So what's a fan of international hockey to do?
Luckily, we still have a couple of high-stakes, "best-on-best" events coming up. The world junior championship starts Boxing Day in Edmonton and Red Deer, Alta., where spectator capacity has been cut to 50 per cent but the 10-team tournament looks ready to go ahead as scheduled. Canada's lone exhibition game is Thursday vs. Russia, before it plays its first game in the tournament proper on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET vs. the Czech Republic.
If it's Olympic hockey drama you're craving, the women's tournament always delivers. Canada vs. the United States is one of the most intense rivalries in all of sports, and they'll likely square off for the gold medal for the fourth consecutive time in Beijing. After the Canadians' epic overtime victory in 2014, the Americans dethroned them in a shootout in 2018. But Canada returned the favour at this year's world championship when Marie-Philip Poulin scored the sudden-death winner in the final in Calgary.
Poulin's overtime magic has continued this season in the Canada-U.S. Rivalry Series, which Canada leads 4-2 after its captain potted back-to-back OT winners in St. Louis last week. Monday's game in Minnesota was postponed due to COVID-19 concerns, but the teams are slated to meet for the final two times before the Olympics on Jan. 3 and 6 in Edmonton and Red Deer.

Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.
I found few solutions in web that if we installed .net 3.5 with service pack1 then we will get such a errors and either uninstall 3.5 or install service pack 2 with Asp.net 2.0 to resolve the issues.
ASp.net 3.5 was installed in my pc so that i uninstalled it.but no success.
Please advice me a solution to avoid such a problem in asp.net 2.0.
