Women's notes: Achonwa's injury changes Final Four
|Notre Dame forward Natalie Achonwa screams as she leaves the court after being injured in the second half of their NCAA women's college basketball tournament regional final game at the Purcell Pavilion in South Bend, Ind Monday March 31, 2014.Notre Dame won 88-69. (AP Photo/Joe Raymond)
The whole complexion of this year's Final Four could have turned in a few brief seconds when Notre Dame's senior center Natalie Achonwa came down wrong during the team's Elite Eight victory over Baylor on Monday and tore the ACL in her left knee.
Achonwa's season-ending injury certainly leaves a big hole for the Irish to fill, but Coach Muffet McGraw said during a teleconference Wednesday that Achonwa's personality will still carry the team emotionally and that freshman Taya Reimer is ready to step in on the court to handle post duties.
"Natalie Achonwa sets the tone for our team in everything that we do," McGraw said. "She's been the vocal leader for our team. When she went down on the floor and before she even left for the locker room, bounced back up and went after the team and really gave them a very spirited talk and encouragement to finish that game. I think she set the tone right then."
McGraw said that no one on the team feels Achonwa's absence, because she remained a very vocal and emotional force.
"She came back onto the bench," McGraw said. "She got up and cut down the nets. She knows and she proved to them it's not about her, it's about the team. We talked about it in the locker room yesterday. There were no tears. There's no mourning. We are ready to move on and Natalie is going to be on the sideline doing everything she can do to help us win."
The 6-foot-3 Achonwa averaged 22.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.3 blocks in the last three rounds of the tournament while shooting 24-for-32 from the field.
Reimer, a 6-3 forward, is averaging 7.4 points and 4.6 rebounds this season with a team-high 48 blocks.
"I think that Taya's had a very good year," McGraw said. "I think that she would be a starter for most other programs in the country and she was able to come off the bench and learn a lot through Natalie Achonwa and Ariel Braker. And she is ready for this opportunity. I think she's been waiting for this opportunity all season long to break into the starting lineup, and she certainly is talented enough and has great skill set."
UConn coach Geno Auriemma said he feels horrible for Achonwa and the Irish.
"The problem with when you have a great team and you lose somebody as integral as she is to their team and you lose them late in the year, it's hard to just put somebody in and expect the same results," Auriemma said.
"She was a terrific passer. She could score around the basket. She'd play great defense inside. She rebounded the ball. She had a little bit of edge to her, which I think every big guy needs. What effect does not having her? Well, obviously the easy answer is she's averaging 20 points a game in the NCAA tournament. So that's a huge effect. What effect does it have emotionally on a team? I don't know. Each team's make-up is different."
Auriemma said that teams certainly can move forward the way his 2001 team did after losing two first-team All-Americans in Svetlana Abrosimova and Shea Ralph.
"We got to the Final Four and we ended up losing to Notre Dame that year," he said. "But I know exactly what it feels like to all of a sudden you've got to retool your team. It's not something that you wish on any team, and certainly you don't wish that kind of injury on any player. But I don't think Notre Dame is just Natalie Achonwa. I think they're a whole lot more than that. And if anybody thinks that that's all they are they haven't played them enough times.
"That just means Jewell Loyd and Kayla McBride are going to take even more shots, which makes them even more dangerous. Losing her really, really, really hurts. I guess we'll see this weekend how much."
Cutting down the nets: UConn was the only team among the four that advanced to the Final Four and didn't cut down the nets after winning the regional final. The Huskies believe in remaining focused until their job is done, and they don't feel as if they have accomplished what they set out to do this season.
"We only cut down the nets once, and that is for the national championship," Stewart said. "I think it is a little early. Yeah, the regional championship is a big thing, but at UConn we expect to get to the Final Four every year, and the national championship is our ultimate goal."
She said that the Huskies' decision not to cut down the nets shouldn't be construed as a sign that they don't appreciate what a great accomplishment getting to the Final Four is.
"It is not like the end celebration," Stewart said. "Obviously we are going to take this in and really be happy that we are going to the Final Four and stuff like that. But when it comes to practice on Wednesday we are going to be focused and ready to work on winning a national championship."
Tuesday night during a TV interview after Stanford beat North Carolina to advance to the Final Four, without being asked Cardinal coach Tara VanDerveer volunteered the fact that yes, her team would be cutting down the nets.
A few Huskies' fans took that as a jab toward UConn for considering itself too good to cut down the nets. Wednesday, she explained that she just thought the team should be able to celebrate.
"I think it's really special going to the Final Four," VanDerveer said. "You know, in a tournament whether it's a regional tournament or even your conference tournament, it's a really special thing. We were celebrating. Different teams choose how they're going to do it. We definitely were net cutters, and we were excited about it."

"We identified 4.1 million singly unique nucleotide positions informative in distinguishing specific copies," the authors reported. The researchers took this information to genotype the number of copies and the content of genes that had been duplicated to or more different positions on the genome thereby became free to function on their own. These duplicated genes reveal changes that occurred during evolution.
The data allowed the researchers to identify duplicated genes specific to humans, in comparison to apes like gorilla, orangutans, and chimps. The researchers observed that these duplications occurred in genes associated with brain development. These include genes implicated in the growth and branching of brain cell connections, in abnormally large or small head size, in a particular dopamine (reward signal in the brain) receptor, in visual-spatial and social deficits, in reducing the severity of spinal muscular atrophy, and in intellectual disability and epilepsy.
Copy number variations occur in only about 7 percent to 9 percent of human genes, the researchers found. Most of our genes come standard: two copies. Even among copy number variable genes, the researchers learned that 80 percent of them vary between 0 and 5 copies.
"Extreme gene variation," the researchers noted, "is limited to only a few gene families." In this study, they identified 56 of the most variable gene families. These ranged in median copy number from 5 to approximately 368.
"These genes were dramatically enriched for segmental duplication," the researchers noted. Segmental duplications are regions t

Will Google Authorship Change Link Diversity for SEO? geekestateblog.comSubmitted by marktraphagen Nov 29 2012 in SEO 2 Comments Discuss (2) |
Drew blogged about Google Author Rank back in April, and the rate of authorship markup adoption has been steadily increasing since then. It's ridiculously easy to add the markup in WordPress and Google is dangling a pretty big carrot for us all: Better click through in the SERPs due to the nice avatar you get next to your results.
Tad Chef @onreact_com
Very good point. Accepting a unique Google ID for them to track you is good for them but not necessarily for you. There are many potential issues with the authorship markup. For instance what happens when you're not active on Google+ and jsut the display your image in SERPs. Do you get downgraded?
Mark Traphagen @marktraphagen Mod
Good question, Tad. And of course, we just don't know. How much will Google+ activity affect your Author Rank? Can you build an authoritative Author profile without building an authoritative Google+ network? We don't know, but I'm working from the assumption that having a powerful G+ network will be a boost to my Authorship authority. That's just an assumption, but since G+ is Google's and is the home base for Authorship, I think it's a reasonable one.

9. Have a clear picture of who the potential tenants might be, and design for their needs
November 03, 2010
"Attorneys still haven't come out of their private offices, with good reason," says Mirrielees. "Call centers get you into HVAC issues, because you have so many people per square foot and existing systems just can't handle the load. Plus, they're looking for lots of daylighting, parking, and even restrooms."
Mirrielees says most corporate space is going to 75% open plan, 25% closed office. But that, too, may depend on the type of client, says McCafferty. "When you have a younger company or one that has a lot of Gen Xers or Millennials, they want more open space and daylighting," she says. "We've converted warehouse/manufacturing spaces to office/R&D uses where everyone in the company has the same kind of space and furniture."

VMware server with Ubuntu
I have installed a VMware server on my Windows XP pro computer.
The intention was to install an Ubuntu on a Windows XP computer.
Also the Ubuntu install went ok without problems.
Now I have problems with getting my Ubuntu on the Internet.
I think it has something with the correct IP's to do, but I'm not sure.
On the LAN I use IP's in the area 192.168.1.x
But the IP's for the Bridged LAN has another area than what I have shown above.
Here I show what the LAN looks like:
My LAN for the computer where I have VMware and Ubuntu installed:
The vmnet1:
The vmnet8:
Can anyone see a reason for not being able to get on the Inet with my Ubuntu ?
Thanks in advance for replies

CORPUS CHRISTI -- Exclusive video obtained by 6 News is sparking outrage among parents tonight.
The video shows a preschool teacher in her class filled with 3 and 4-year-olds. In the video, she grabs students by the arm, pokes at them with a pointer, yells and even swats towards one girl's face.
That video led to the suspension of the teacher, while Corpus Christi Independent School District administrators investigate.
Many of the parents who have children in the classroom came to KRIS 6 News' studios to watch the video for themselves.
They tell us they've complained before and they are upset it took our report and this video to have the teacher removed.
Parents have shared emails detailing prior complaints they launched on the teacher with her and the principal.
A Texas A&M student who monitored the classroom as part of her degree plan in 2012 also says she notified her program directors that she felt best practices were not being followed in that teacher's classroom.
So, the question for many parents today is why did it take so long?
The two minute video that shows a series of clips edited down from hours of the undercover video brought several parents in the room to tears.
"Its not just the actions where she physically grabs the children or points at them, its her face, her tone, and kids notice that," one mom said while holding back her tears.
Watching as their children are yelled at or manhandled is not easy. But it's more difficult to see this after the parents say they've launched several complaints before.
In February, one mom sent an email to the teacher saying "a four-year-old should not tell me he hates school." She goes on to say she feels her son is "isolated and belittled in class."
She says the emails led to no action.
Others say they filed complaints last year when their older children were in this same classroom. Ashley Garza has a child in the class now, but her son also attended class with the same teacher last year. "He was like she spanked my hand, and I was like, no she didn't she wouldn't do that," Garza told us about the complaint.
Last year, her son did not want to go back to class; this year, her daughter is the little girl in purple, seen sitting in the front of the class when the teacher can be seen swatting toward her face.
In another video, the teacher grabs the same little girl by the arm.
Her parents say they have no doubt the complaints they launched about their son should have been taken more seriously.
"Now, we believe it, because that's our daughter that she's grabbing and yelling in her face," said the little girl's father.
The parents tell us they complained to the principal, Dr. Susan Galvan-Luis.
Yesterday, she referred us to the district for comment, today, she did not return our phone call or email.
KRIS 6 News also attempted to contact the teacher seen in the video. She did not answer or return our call.
CCISD has suspended the teacher with pay during their investigation.
The Early Childhood Development Center staff have told the parents the teacher will not return to class this year.
The district is continuing their investigation today. They tell us they never received any district level complaints, but they are now conducting a thorough investigation.

Ok folks,
Question time!
Im just setting up APC network shutdown for my APC UPS...all is going well but i've come across a problem. One of the servers has a MSA60 DAS attached to it which would also need to be shutdown gracefully in the event of a powercut (we had one at weekend and it wiped the array, luckily it was blank anyway) So my question is how would i set this to shutdown also? there is no OS that i can install the shutdown software to on DAS? I also have a MSA2000 SAN which is in the same situation as the DAS
Any ideas?
Cheers in advance :D

What can you do when what you long for is what terrifies you most?
***A vampire Enforcer and a female member of his team with opposite agendas and a growing attraction for one another must learn to trust each other and work together to thwart an attack from a band of Hunters, or they, and everyone working with them, will end up dead.***
Olivia Fournier keeps her immortal heart locked away, determined never to allow another man—another vampire—to rip it to shreds as her sire did. She is the cold-hearted bitch everyone hates, and she likes it that way. The last thing she wants is love… Or is it?
Alexander Mitchell has recently been tasked with leading the fight for vampires' survival against the growing threat of the Hunters. The last thing he needs is to be distracted by the infuriatingly frustrating Olivia Fournier. Then again, maybe she is exactly what he needs.
Can the pair work together to save their species? Or will Olivia's trust issues and attempts to undermine Alex's leadership cause them to lose more than a chance at love, but to lose their lives, as well?

She has inadvertently put her life in danger and become part of a dark world she thought was only pretend.

Nocturnal Bites - Anthology - Released...
This anthology contains the first three novelettes/novellas of the series. Each of these books focuses on vampire Bastian Evanko, starting over two hundred years ago in England with Nothing Lasts Forever and the tragic series of events that triggers his desire for retribution and earns him the punishment of two hundred years in exile.
Fast forward to present day Lansford, PA: The Sin City of the East. The remaining stories take place in and around Lansford. Nocturnal Surrender is the reunion of Bastian and his brother Donovan, as well as his meeting—and biting—stripper Darling Nikki. Tension mounts as Bastian looks to exact his revenge, but he gets a little sidetracked by the possibility of falling in love again.
Just when Bastian feels secure in his budding relationship with Nicole French, AKA Darling Nikki, she stumbles upon the secret of his vampiric identity in Midnight Confessions. To make matters worse, Donovan needs Bastian's help in the war with the vampire Hunters. Only problem is, Nicole gets dragged into the mix. Many secrets are exposed after midnight.
In the bonus short story, Auburn Lust, twin courtesan vampires Rochelle and Laureline Montague entertain two of their favorite vampire clients for the evening: Christof Rosenbaum and Donovan Evanko. Emotions and lust run wild in this erotic story.
And in another bonus, Interview with Bastian, the vampire lets it all hang out since this is the uncensored, extended version of his interview. At times he shares a little too much information, but then he does prefer to live by his own rules.

Auburn Lust - Short Story - Released...
Twin courtesan vampires Rochelle and Laureline Montague entertain two of their favorite vampire clients for the evening: Christof Rosenbaum and Donovan Evanko.
Rochelle and Christof have been meeting for centuries but lately the intimacy between them has crossed the line and become personal. Will Rochelle be able to keep her professional boundaries in place or will she give in to her emotions?
Laureline and Donovan's rendezvous is much less emotional and far rougher, but that's how they like it. Although, she can't let Donovan leave after just one time around—even when he is summoned by his Enforcer boss.
In the end, both men are consumed by the auburn-haired beauties in one way or another, and there is no doubt both will be back for more.
This is an erotic story, not a romance, and it can stand alone. But where it falls within the series timeline is actually right before Nocturnal Surrender. It will let you get to know Christof and Donovan a little more, and tease you for what's to come in the series.

Midnight Confessions - Novelette - Released...
Nicole French is fed up with only seeing her boyfriend, Bastian, at the sanguinarian club Nocturnal Surrender, where he always wears his prosthetic fangs and vampire contacts. When she pays him a surprise visit, and he answers the door half-naked and wet from showering, she can't help taking advantage of the situation. But when her sexual advances send him bolting from her, she is stunned and concerned.
Bastian Evanko isn't ready to reveal his secret to Nicole, to tell her he truly is a vampire. But when she gets him too aroused to hide the monster inside, he decides to confess all. Unfortunately, before he can explain things properly, his brother Donovan calls, demanding his presence to handle vampire business. Nicole is suddenly along for the ride, and Bastian gives her a crash course in all things vampiric. Will she be able to handle being thrown into a strange new world? Or will she betray him as his fiancée did two hundred years ago?
As if that isn't enough to deal with, Donovan confronts Bastian about the recklessness of bringing Nicole into their world too soon and more confessions are made. First between the brothers, and later between Bastian and Nicole. All hide deep pain and guilt, and they all need to confess their secrets to find peace of mind. But will they be able to salvage their relationships or will their confessions tear them apart?

Nocturnal Surrender - Novella - Released...
After two hundred years in exile, vampire Bastian Evanko has come back to earn his brother's respect and plot revenge against the vampire who murdered his fiancée, Elise. In Lansford, PA, the Sin City of the East, Bastian must fight his rebellious nature and learn to control his impulsiveness so he is no longer considered a scourge on the Evanko name. When he asks for a private dance, and a bite, from stripper Darling Nikki, he gets far more than he bargains for—including another chance at love. But even the love of a beautiful woman isn't enough to sate his need for retribution.
Nicole French simply wants to learn how to live in her new town, come to terms with stripping to pay the bills, and make it through law school without having a breakdown over the painful memories she hides. Having a man in her life is the last thing she needs, but when Bastian Evanko asks for a private dance, and to drink her blood, she ends up with more than just a freaky customer. Things heat up quickly in the private room with the sexy stranger. Only problem is, he likes to pretend he's a vampire and suck down human blood.
To make matters worse, a war is brewing between vampires and Hunters. And after losing Elise because of her vampire Hunter brother, can Bastian take the risk of bringing Nicole into his life? But, on the other hand, can he pass up another chance at love?

Nothing Lasts Forever - Novelette - Released...
In 1812 England, after nearly eight centuries of immortal life, Bastian Evanko has finally found the woman he wants to spend forever with. Now he is ready to reveal his secret to her, to tell her he is a vampire. But past experience has shown him mortal women may not be able to accept him for what he is. He's had his share of heartbreak and is hoping this time will be different.
Elise McNeil loves Bastian with all her heart and can't wait to share her life with him, to have a family with him. But when he shows her the monster he hides inside, she is devastated because he lied to her the entire time he courted her. She is unsure if she can trust him, but more importantly, she believes he may be evil and incapable of loving her as he claims to.
As if their situation isn't complicated enough, Elise has a secret of her own. Her brother Jacob is a vampire Hunter. When the two men come face-to-face after Jacob and Elise's parents go missing, will she keep Bastian's secret or betray him for her family's sake? Can Bastian save her from the ruling vampire Elders if she breaks their laws by revealing his secret? Or will the couple find out the hard way that nothing lasts forever?
Warning: This novelette is a romantic tragedy—with a tragic ending—but the rest of the books in this series will have happy endings.

Algeria denies pressuring Orascom Telecom
Telecoms minister says acquisition of local unit is legal.
September 23, 2010 3:17 by Reuters
Algeria's telecommunications minister on Thursday denied applying pressure on the local unit of Egypt's Orascom Telecom , saying the state's acquisition of the business was in accordance with the law.
Orascom Telecom's owners agreed to sell the lucrative Djezzy unit to the Algerian state after it was hit by back-tax demands and the government blocked a deal to sell Djezzy to South Africa's MTN .
Naguib Sawiris, Orascom Telecom chairman, accused the Algerian authorities of cracking down on Djezzy because they saw it as too successful and profitable.
Asked by reporters to comment on that allegation, Telecommunications Minister Moussa Benhamadi said: "There is no pressure. We want to preserve Djezzy because it generates wealth like other Algerian and foreign companies operating here."
"It is not in our interests to create financial problems for Djezzy but we have to implement the law," Benhamadi said on the sidelines of a session of parliament.
"Orascom has expressed its willingness to sell. We need to implement the law. Algerian law has provided guarantees for Djezzy since the launch of its operations and made it possible for it to have 15 million customers."
The Algerian government has appointed a local firm of consultants to value Djezzy and reccommend how much the Algerian state should pay to acquire it.
Benhamadi declined to give an approximate price for Djezzy, saying he awaited the results of the valuation. "I prefer to use Algerian expertise (for the valuation) but we will use foreign expertise if necessary."
Djezzy has been the biggest single source or revenue for Orascom Telecom.
Sawiris is in talks to merge his holding company Weather Investments, which owns just over half of Orascom as well as operators in Italy and Greece, with telecoms group Vimpelcom , but analysts say uncertainty around Djezzy could scupper the deal.

Some may think "good", but is it good? What is happening is the competition for the large bands are being eliminated. They are not getting bailed out while the larger ones are. No, this is not good. Try opening an account at bank of America with less than $10K...you can, but it'll cost you $20/month. That's right, you'll LOSE money but letting them use you $5 or $6K! Smaller regional banks are vital to keeping the big banks honest....or somewhat honest anyway.

Denis O'Brien Buys Eight UK Radio Stations
Communicorp Group, Ireland's largest commercial radio station company, has acquired eight regional radio stations from Global Radio in the UK. The stations, with 2.8 million listeners combined, are Smooth East Midlands, Smooth North West, Smooth North East, Capital Scotland, Capital South Wales, Real Radio North Wales, Real Radio Yorkshire and Real XS.
Under a brand licensing agreement with Global Radio, Communicorp intends to re-brand the 'Real' stations under the 'Heart' franchise and plans to re-launch the 'Smooth' stations following the reintroduction of local programming.
The move into the UK follows Communicorp scaling back its activity in eastern Europe. Over the past two years the group has disposed of 25 stations in Finland, Estonia, Czech Republic and Hungary. It is still active in Bulgaria and Latvia, as well as Jordan.
In Ireland Communicorp is commercial market leader through its ownership of Today FM, Newstalk, 98FM, Spin 103.8, Spin South West and Phantom. Group turnover on 2012 was €58m with a net loss of €35m booked after a €39m write-down of goodwill.
Communicorp ended 2012 with bank loans of €79m and €54m owed to principal shareholder Denis O'Brien. The directors' report filed last October stated that €9m of bank borrowings had been repaid in 2013, with total deleveraging from January 2011 to October 2013 amounting to €90m.
Global Radio is best known for its Heart and Capital stations in London and made an operating profit of £37m on turnover of £220m in the year to March 2013.
Last May the UK's Competition Commission ruled that Global should dispose of a number of its regional stations following its £70m takeover of GMG Radio in June 2012. Global appealed that ruling and lost in November. (06/02/2014)

Insignia Systems, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results
Insignia Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISIG) today reported a net loss for the third quarter of 2011 of $(1,721,000) or $(0.11) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $932,000 or $0.06 per basic share ($0.05 per diluted share), for the third quarter of 2010. Net sales were $3,060,000 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 64.1%, compared to net sales of $8,517,000 for the third quarter of 2010. Insignia Point-of-Purchase Services ® (POPS) revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $2,563,000, a decrease of 67.4% compared to third quarter 2010 POPS revenue of $7,858,000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net sales were $13,033,000, a decrease of 42.7%, compared to net sales of $22,726,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Net income for the first nine months of 2011 was $51,477,000, or $3.31 per basic share ($3.23 per diluted share), compared to $1,151,000, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share for the same period of 2010. Insignia POPS revenue for the first nine months of 2011 was $11,383,000, a decrease of 44.6%, compared to the first nine months of 2010 POPS revenue of $20,557,000. Net income in the first nine months of 2011 included a gain from the settlement of the litigation against News America Marketing In-Store, LLC (News America) of $89,762,000 before income taxes.
CEO Scott Drill stated, "To state the obvious, our business in the third quarter was more than extremely disappointing. Our business arrangement with News America is currently very tenuous. It did seem to improve for a while in the aftermath of the August 25 th ruling by the Federal Magistrate Judge following the hearing on August 19 th. However, recently things have deteriorated, and we have a hearing scheduled for this Friday in which the major issue is whether they will hang our signs for a cycle beginning November 6 th. Last Thursday we were informed that they would not hang our signs for the cycle beginning November 6 th because the signs contain a color background. Historically most of the signs placed under the News America Price Pop Guaranteed program have contained color backgrounds. We are hoping for a favorable emergency ruling on Friday so that the cycle beginning November 6 th can be executed. The lack of a favorable ruling Friday will be detrimental to our business.
While business has been disappointing this year, we believe that the worst is behind us. We remain hopeful that our efforts to resolve the remaining issues with News America will result in increased revenues in 2012. We are currently in the final testing phase of our new laser die cutter that is expected to be in production in the first quarter of 2012. We are excited to add the capabilities of this laser die cutter to our service offerings for our customers and think it will set Insignia apart in our industry.

Hiring Hoke has to count for something, right? That's a lot more important than one game.
But yeah, this whole Dallas thing stinks.

|It's not about the offense this time of year
The former players you list were all great, but it wasn't Hagelin and Rust and Caporusso who got us to the final game last year and shut out North Dakota. Or at least it wasn't their scoring; it was team defense and great goaltending. (Although I'm haunted by the two-on-one that Carl and Louie had late in regulation in the title game last year.)
I'm not sure the team "D" is on quite as much as last year's team down the stretch, but that's what's going to be the main factor in whether we can get back to the title game and win it. That's what Red coaches. And the close games are much better prep for the tourney than blowouts.
Anyway, the Pairwise and RPI and KRACH aren't perfect, but there's a reason we're ranked number two in all of them, and I think it's accurate. There have been no truly dominating teams this year, even BC. And if you throw out an inexplicably bad stretch in November, Michigan has been as consistently good as anyone, at least in terms of wins and losses, and that's really what it's all about. So we may not be a great team, but we're a pretty good team, and there's no other team who can really claim to be much more than that.
If you want to worry about anything, worry about the power play. And of course, the somewhat arbitrary nature of single-elimination hockey. Any of the teams in this tournament could win any game, and most of them could win it all. But I'll take our chances with Hunwick. Let's do this!

Also, if anyone is driving to Green Bay and wants to crash in Chicago on the way, you can stay at my place if you want to pick me up. I'll pay for gas for the Chicago to Green Bay leg and back. Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks! Go Blue!

I"m pretty flexible. I just want to see some hockey. I already have a room at the hotel next to the rink for Friday and Saturday nights, so I pretty much just need to get there. Contact me at email@example.com. Thanks!

|Seems like a good bracket for us
Hey, anyone want to crash in Chicago for free on the way to Green Bay Thursday night? And possibly Sunday? All you have to do is give me a ride the rest of the way! I'll pay for gas too.

|Losing to BG isn't as bad
Because of the way the Pairwise works, losing to a team like Bowling Green, which is not "under consideration," doesn't hurt your Pairwise nearly as much as losing to a better team does.

|I prefer collegehockeynews.com's predictor
I prefer this version:
It lists all the common opponents in the individual comparisons.
Basically, the upshot for Michigan is, unless we lose two games at the Joe, we're pretty much locked into the number two or three spot overall. That almost ensures us the top seed in Green Bay, because the committee will likely want to keep Minnesota-Duluth in St. Paul, and both they and Minnesota are ranked high enough that they won't meet in the first round. I'm making travel plans for Green Bay now. (It's a relatively easy trip for me from Chicago anyway.)

|Who do you know who DOES have a passport?
Well, I don't have a passport. Most college students don't. For that matter, the majority of Americans, and even Michigan residents, don't have passports. Most estimates put passport owernship among U.S. citizens at about 30 percent. Being an illegal alien or not has nothing to do with it.
At any rate, why impose an extra burden on American fans to go to the playoffs so that Canadians can fill up the rink?
|2 years 41 weeks ago
|What kind of exposure exactly?
To what end does U.S. college hockey need exposure in Canada? Maybe for recruiting, sure, but it's not like Canadians are going to start up their own teams to compete for the U.S. national championship.
Also, U.S. citizens need a passport to travel to Canada these days. So you would fill a rink with a lot of neutral fans, but shut out most of the fans of the teams competing, just for "exposure?" Sorry, but I'm not ready to cede our national championship to Canada. The Frozen Four is for the players and the teams, but it's also for the fans, for us, not for Canadians. They have their own teams.
If you want exposure that's going to actually "grow the sport," then instead of Toronto, how about having the NCAA tournament in Chicago? Instead of encouraging a bunch of Canadians to fill a rink, how about exposing people from other Big Ten schools like Illinois and Northwestern to the sport? That's the way to grow the sport, by having more teams in the U.S., not by filling rinks in other countries.
|2 years 41 weeks ago
|So now everyone needs a passport to go to the Frozen Four?
As I noted in my comments on Michael Spath's article, while Toronto is a fine city, the problem with having the NCAA tournament there is that a passport is required for most U.S. citizens to travel to Canada. This would be a significant burden for many college hockey fans, especially students, wishing to follow their teams. It's one thing to hop in the car and road trip to St. Paul, or even Tampa, on a whim; it's another to go to a whole different country. If you can't legally travel there on short notice to follow your team, then Toronto is really no better than New Zealand.
It's true that some fans would plan ahead to obtain passports for the Frozen Four, but a lot of tickets get bought and sold right before the event when the teams are set, since lots of fans are more willing to travel at the last minute for a chance to see their team win a championship. Would fans of RIT have been able to see their team make an unexpected appearance in the 2010 Frozen Four if it had been held in Toronto?
Wanting to "grow the sport" is fine, but unless Canadian teams are going to somehow compete for the U.S. national championship in college hockey, there's not really much point in growing this particular sport north of the border. They already have hockey there, or so I've heard.
I submit that Toronto be replaced with Chicago in this scenario. Chicago is a great Original Six hockey city as well, and it seems to me that a more useful way to grow the sport of U.S. college hockey, in a way that's meaningful to Michigan, would be by encouraging other Big Ten schools like Illinois and Northwestern to start hockey teams than by encouraging Canadians to do... well, I'm not exactly sure what.
And you don't need a passport to visit Chicago.

|Why doesn't softball have the same problem?
Doesn't the same logic about going on the road for the first two months of the season apply to softball too? If not, why not? I mean, Michigan has done pretty well recently in the Women's College World Series. What do the women know that their male counterparts don't?

|mgoblue.com audio stream problems
Anyone else having trouble listening online? The audio is there, but it's really quiet, even with my speakers turned all the way up.
I guess there are technical issues in BG. Jason, who's running the chat at MichiganHockey.net, is posting from his cell phone because the Internet is down at the rink.

|Actually, it was Boston
Actually, it was Boston University who beat us in Milwaukee, with the BU band playing "On Wisconsin." That spoiled a much-anticipated matchup between Michigan and North Dakota in the final.
But you're right, it's been 20+ years of mostly frustration, at least at the very end. Although there have been a lot of great wins too. I think you need outstanding goaltending, and while we've had some good ones, we haven't had a truly dominating goaltender since Turco, until now. That's why we were so close last year.
Here's hoping we can pull it off in Tampa.

|We were #1 in PWR for a few hours
RIght after our game, before the other games last night, we were in the top spot in the Pairwise and the RPI. We're only one thousandth of a point behind BC in RPI, which is the difference in their PWR comparison too. So making up that 0.001 in RPI would put us back into the top spot in the Pairwise. (However, our RPI will probably take a hit next weekend even if we sweep due to a drop in strength of schedule.) The other team winning a comparison against us is Minnesota-Duluth, and we have a good chance of passing them in the TUC comparison.
We're also currently #1 in KRACH.

Here's hoping we have a chance to find out what Tampa is like in the first week of April.
|2 years 44 weeks ago
|Ferris is #1 in PWR
Actually, Ferris is number one in the Pairwise right now. I agree that Michigan has a great chance to pass everyone except UMD and BU, especially BC and Ferris, who we beat head-to-head yet hold very slim edges in RPI. Great analysis!
|2 years 47 weeks ago
I'm fine with neutral sites, but they need to make sense. Traveling 5-plus hours by car or plane is okay for the Frozen Four, but I dunno about the conference tourney. Ideally a site would be near as many fans as possible, and would rotate to be fair.
Campus sites are great, but they tend to be smaller. At least Yost and Munn are. And while either of those would be a sure sellout (which even Joe Louis struggles to get, even with both Michigan and FYS), it's hard to imagine that working out for a six-team tourney in the long run. Yes, it's been done at both, I know, in the NCAA regionals, and mostly it was great for Michigan, but I think the Big Ten needs to think bigger; otherwise, what's the point of it?
There's still the Joe, of course, and that should definitely be in the rotation. And Milwaukee, and the Twin Cities, and sure, even somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania would be fine. The Discount Furniture Rink in that state down there is okay too, if you can stand it.
But what about Chicago?
Of course, I'm selfish: I want to be able to see some college hockey without leaving my own city.
But except for the slightly inconvenient fact that there are no college hockey teams in the whole state of Illinois, Chicago would seem a natural central location for a Big Ten hockey tourney. And it's got to be better than St. Louis or Fort Wayne or Grand Rapids for a regional. There are lots of alumni from B1G schools here, plenty of hotels, and I mean, come on, it's Chicago!
The only other negative I can think of is that the United Center is surrounded by nothing but parking lots. I was really impressed by the atmosphere at the Frozen Four in St. Paul: the Xcel Center is a fine rink, but it's in a great area, right downtown with lots of things to do. So a tourney in Chicago wouldn't quite have that same feel right outside the rink, but there's still plenty going on not too far away. The UIC Pavilion (former home of the UIC Flames hockey team) is a better location, but its capacity is only about 7000. (Although the regionals have been in smaller places.) There's talk of some games at Soldier Field, which could be fun, but Michigan is apparently not involved.
This all makes me miss the CCHA, with its wonderfully easy road trips. When I was living in Ann Arbor, even when I was poor, I could easily make over half of Michigan's road games. Tickets were cheap, most of the road trips were within a couple of hours, and there was a great group of Dekers to hang out with. The Hockeymobile made it a lot of fun too. And of course, the hockey team was regularly kicking butt, even on the road, in the heady days of the 90s. There were some great trips to places like Bowling Green, Kalamazoo, and Big Rapids, as well as the Soo, Oxford, and South Bend. There will still be trips to Munn for FYS, and the den of ultimate evil is only a few hours south, but I can't imagine too many people hopping in the car on a Friday afternoon to head from A2 to Madison or State College, let alone Minneapolis.
Anyway, come to Chi-Town. You can all stay with me. ;^)

|Turco, Shields, Sharples
My personal favorites, in that order. Hunwick has a great chance to move into that list, but I don't think he can pass Turco. Marty, of course broke Steve Shields's all-time wins record, which had been thought unreachable. And he has two NC rings.
True, it's not Hunwick's fault that he can't get those records, and it's also true that Turco backstopped some great teams. But Turco basically stole the '98 title almost singlehandedly. Hunwick did come a shot away from repeating that feat last year, and that run was Turco-worthy, but looking at the body of evidence of a whole career, how can you put anyone ahead of Marty Turco? One could make this argument for all of college hockey, not just Michigan.
But yeah, the Rudy thing is silly. I put Hunwick more in the Tom Brady category. Not that Shawn will have the same success in the pros, nor was he a blue chip recruit out of high school, but they're both guys who everyone overlooked as having insufficient talent to be elite players. And both are driven to prove everyone wrong.
If Hunwick isn't a Hobey finalist - heck, if he's not in the top three - that will be an outrage.
