Miami Hockey Postgame Notes
Miami vs. Lake Superior State
Friday, December 7, 2012
Steve Cady Arena - Oxford, Ohio
- With the 3-2 win Friday, the RedHawks now have an eight-game unbeaten streak (6-0-2) and a season-long four-game winning streak.
- With the 3-2 win, Miami is now 9-0-0 this season when scoring three goals or more. The RedHawks also improved to 6-0-3 at home this year, outscoring the opposition 27-13 at Steve Cady Arena.
- Freshmen scored all three goals for Miami Friday, the second time this year only freshmen have scored goals with the other the 1-1 tie against Providence Oct. 19. Riley Barber had Miami's only goal in that game while he, Sean Kuraly and Kevin Morris scored against the Lakers Friday.
- Freshman Riley Barber scored his second career game-winning goal 2:09 into the third period. His unassisted goal gives Barber 19 points and seven goals this year, tying sophomore Austin Czarnik for the team lead in both categories and CCHA lead in points. Barber is now on a four-game point streak and has a point in 12 of 15 games this year. He continues to lead all rookies nationally, averaging 1.27 points per game.
- The RedHawks failed to score during the first period, and were unable to keep the Lakers off the scoreboard during a Lake Superior power play. The last time Miami failed to score first during a game was Nov. 10 against Northern Michigan, a span of five games. Miami improved to 2-1-2 when not scoring first this year.
- The RedHawks bounced back in the second period when freshman Kevin Morris scored his third goal of the season with 4:23 left in the period off assists from seniors Curtis McKenzie and Steven Spinell. McKenzie now has six assists on the season, including one in three straight games, while Spinell has three. McKenzie is also now riding a career-long four-game point streak.
- Freshman Sean Kuraly put Miami in the lead three minutes later off helpers by senior Marc Hagel and freshman Chris Joyaux. It was Kuraly's third goal of the season after scoring his second goal Nov. 10 against Northern Michigan. It was Kuraly's first even-strength goal as a RedHawk as his first two goals came on the power play.
- Hagel's assist puts him at three assists for the season with his last assist coming last Friday against Alaska. He then totaled a season-high two goals and two points against the Nanooks Saturday night, as he is now riding a three-game point streak. Prior to his point streak he had just one point as a RedHawk.
- Freshman defenseman Chris Joyaux broke his dry streak this season with his helper on Kuraly's goal. The last time Joyaux earned a point in a game was Oct. 13 against Colgate, which was his first career point.
- The RedHawks fired 45 shots against the Lakers, setting a season high. Miami's previous season best was 40 shots Nov. 3 at Ferris State.
- The RedHawks improved their series record with Lake Superior to 39-57-11 overall and 26-20-7 in Oxford.
- The RedHawks increased their record to 10-2-3 overall and 7-2-2-2 in the CCHA as Miami remained in first place in the league standings.
- The RedHawks will return to the ice Saturday, Dec. 8 at 7:05 p.m. to finish this weekend's series against the Lake Superior State Lakers. It will be Miami's final home game for 46 days before hosting Bowling Green Jan. 25.

Why would the Glazers fund this? Any of them graduate from Tulane?
FOX 8 News has learned that a deal for a new on-campus stadium at Tulane University is in the works.
The money is being largely funded by the Benson family and the Glazer family, which owns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
According to our source, an official announcement is being set for some time next month as details are finalized.
Why would the Glazers fund this? Any of them graduate from Tulane?
ORLY? Is she attractive?!? Daddy needs a new Corvette!
Here's the daughter:
Darcie Glazer Kassewitz, she has no Tulane ties: http://www.glazerfamilyfoundation.or...azer-kassewitz
One of his sons, Avie, and his wife Jill (pic of the "lovely" couple below), have Tulane ties, but no idea if children attend Tulane.
Glazer and Jill support numerous causes, including the Cleveland Clinic, Tulane University....
Avie and his wife Jill are both on the Board and Jill attended Tulane.
A large contingent of Tulane University supporters turned out in force to dedicate the Glazer Gardens and Bocce Court and Newcomb Pottery Garden in memory of Judith and Morris R. Henkin, the parents of Tulane board member Jill Henkin Glazer (NC 85). Jill Glazer and her husband, Avie, who serves on the Presidents Council, donated the gardens in support of a broader beautification initiative for the universitys uptown campus.
I totally disagree with this idea from Tulane. They're better off staying in the dome and building an indoor practice facility. I know attendance stinks now, but if they hire a good coach and start winning, attendance will rise at least to 30,000 and probably more. Plus, the Dome can be used as a recruiting tool. Playing in a small OCS will permanently relegate Tulane to second class status, which they do deserve right now for the ineptitude from their AD and president over the last 10 years.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Sorry, disagree completely. Students do not want to travel to a stadium off campus and sit in emptiness even if they get to 30,000. A stadium on campus is much more appealing to the student body and school spirit. Hopefully it is built like most stadiums, with the potential to be expanded in the future if needed.Originally Posted by Hornets78
Agreed. And the reality is Tulane will never shake off its 'second class' status. That would require a move back to the SEC or another major BCS conference (and not one dying/on its way out/that craptacular megaconference they're thinking of making). Not only will an on campus stadium attract more students but it will also possibly attract more Uptown/Broadmoor area residents who can't be bothered to go downtown to see Tulane get their butts handed to them by Houston. An Uptown stadium could even attract foot traffic depending on when games are scheduled.Originally Posted by HORNETSFAN
It's the right move. Tulane will never be a major program so they need to focus on being the best mid-tier program they can: posting consistent winning records and going to some decent mid tier bowls as a reward for the players and a financial bonus to the institution.
Students at Tulane don't even care about athletics. Attendance will stink on a OCS. Plus there's no where to build a stadium and parking will be a nightmare. It's a waste of money and just another incompetent idea from an incompetent administration and athletic director. Tulane students don't deserve an on campus stadium. They don't support anything.Originally Posted by HORNETSFAN
It's a chicken versus egg argument. You have to start somewhere. Making an on campus stadium will lead to greater student attendance/support. As far as wasting money, it's Benson/Glazer money so who cares? Not like they have a shortage of it.
People are going to go to the games if Tulane plays on campus. Students will be able to stumble from the dorms to the games, there will be a band leading the kids into the stadium, it will be a real expirence for college football. With only 30,000 seats to fill, Tulane will create a demand for tickets and when the UTs of the world come to town, they will move the games to the dome.
Right now the dome is a bad place for Tulane to play games. Too big, too far away from campus, blah blah blah. I cant wait to see an on campus stadium for Tulane, mainly because I am so tired of hearing old Tulane fans tell me how great it was.
I also imagine they will net more revenue in ticket sales, etc. as they don't have to pay a cut (or all of it?) to the state/Dome. I'm sure the new OCS will have a decent share of suites, too, that local business will buy into.
Parking was a nightmare with 70,000+ seat Tulane Stadium.Originally Posted by Hornets78
If the school is going to commit to a new stadium, I'd suspect they'd commit to the football program, which would bring better support from students and alum. Students will attend games on campus - not so much at the Dome.
I still don't think students will attend games even on campus, especially if the team continues to struggle. SMU built an on campus stadium 10 years ago and it didn't help the program with wins or even current attendance. When they finally hired a winning coach 3 years ago, it was too late. They only fill half of a 32K stadium.
Besides, I think Benson is just trying to get rid of Tulane out of the Dome.
Finally, there are only about 10K students at Tulane. They won't fill the stadium by themselves.
Would never be accused of being a Tulane fan, but it's a great move for their program.
Build a smaller, more intimate stadium on campus. Whether the students or the alumni come out initially is not the driving factor.
Control is.
In the Dome, Tulane is a tenant. They get no share of concession or parking revenue. None. Zip. With anemic attendance, they can't possibly net out a gain after paying whatever rent they have to pay to the Dome for each game.
So, if they can raise the funds to build a high class, smaller stadium on their campus, it's a win for them right out of the box.
Will the students attend? Tulane is not a commuter school. 90% of the students live on campus or within walking, biking or streetcar distance.
That fact alone improves the odds that more will go if the stadium is also within walking, biking or streetcar distance.
And if the venue is done well, the atmosphere at games will improve. The atmosphere at Tulane games in the Superdome is nonexistent. It's a cavernous stadium and there is just no excitement generated.
With a stadium on campus, Tulane can ressurect old gameday traditions or start new ones.
They'll get a bump initially, but then it will subside, depending on the product on the field.
However, it's definitely a good idea that will provide a big boost for Tulane.
A football game can't stop hurricanes.
It can't fix levees.
Or rebuild houses.
But it can let a city know...
That it's a city once again.
Welcome back, New Orleans.
half filling a 30K stadium trumps filling 1/7 of a 70k stadium everytime. perception and accessibility is everything. its a no brainer and easy decision for tulane.
Seriously. What was attendance like for Tulane games last few years? Terrible, I'm sure. The OCS will only help. And again, it's not just about students. If I live in Uptown, Broadmoor, Mid City, or even the Lakefront it's a lot less of a hassle to get to Uptown than it is Downtown. Pretty sure they aren't stupid and a sizable parking lot (potentially multi story like the one by the Reilly center) is part of the plans.

Tulane has been run into the ground academically? Not that I keep track of the rankings but aren't they still pretty high?
Ah, I never thought Tulane ever cracked the top twenty. But again it's been well over a decade and a half since I looked at university rankings.
Tulane was never that high. They have been the bottom to middle tier 2 school in academics. Their recent gains were eroded by reaction to their post-Katrina measures, at least some of them.
They may be on the way up, and they may have had some wild fluctuations within a discipline or two, but they were never regarded as a top tier school.
I wish they were, but it just isn't so, and never was.

A loud pop jarred Loretta Knight awake. Then the power shut off.
Click HERE for video of firefighting efforts
A neighbor banged on the door to warn Knight and her family that the building next door was on fire.
"The fire and flames were so bad we had to go across the street," said Knight. "It was going up so high."
Knight lives in a house on Grier Street, behind a strip shopping center that faces Old York Road near U.S. 321 South, just outside of the Gastonia city limits.
She's rented the little house for five years from Roy Gunn.
Gunn also owns the shopping center that, until Thursday, housed five businesses.
The small shopping center, located at 4204 Old York Road, caught fire shortly after 4 a.m. Thursday.
Nine fire departments, using two ladder trucks and other equipment, tamed the flames, but much of the property was destroyed, said Alan Middleton, deputy fire marshal for Gaston County.
No one was injured in the incident.
Hardwood floors and materials inside the businesses helped fuel the fire, said Middleton.
Investigators gathered samples Thursday morning to determine the cause of the fire. Middleton said the fire began on a back wall of the structure, but he didn't yet know the cause.
Knight said some of the shingles and paint on her house melted from the fire, but no significant damage was visible. Though the family was displaced for a couple of hours, Knight said she was relieved it wasn't worse.
"I don't know where we'd go," she said.
Though she's thankful that her home is OK, Knight said she felt bad for Gunn.
"It's heartbreaking. He's been there 40 years," she said.
Gunn's owned the property since 1972. He said he started with a beauty shop then expanded to a mini mall. He owns two of the five businesses that operated out of the facility.
The center included Roy Gunn's Carpet World, Gunn's Beauty Shop, Barco Accounting, J&J Sales and two warehouses.
Gunn said he's not discouraged by the destructive fire. He has insurance on the property and plans to rebuild.
"Oh yeah, I'll build it back, the Lord willing," he said.

The succession of displacement and refugee crises in the Arab Spring, Côte d'Ivoire, Somalia, and Sudan has been characterized as the most troubling in some time.
The Arab Spring exposed critical weaknesses and exacerbated long-held disagreements within the European Union related to asylum, immigration, and external border control policy matters that spilled over into the operation of the Schengen area.
Since mid-December 2010, popular uprisings have taken hold in a number of countries across North Africa and the Middle East in what has been dubbed the Arab Spring. Philippe Fargues of the European University Institute discusses the demographic trends underpinning the recent eruption of unrest in the Arab world, and the likely impact of the revolts on migration.
Haiti and Pakistan were an unlikely pair until 2010, when horrific natural disasters made it impossible for the world to ignore their devastation.
In addition to Palestinians, Jordan also hosts forced migrants from Iraq, especially since the 2003 U.S. invasion, as well as Lebanon. Géraldine Chatelard of the Institut français du Proche-Orient examines Jordan's large refugee population, emigration and remittances, labor migration to Jordan, and the government's migration-management policies in this updated profile.
Civil society provides a crucial link between governments and the communities they represent—infusing policy processes with grassroots knowledge to which governments may not otherwise have access. Looking at the European Union's efforts to engage with civil society in its "neighborhood," this report examines the benefits, challenges, and mechanisms to building dialogue and cooperation on migration and development.
Over the past year, MPI has partnered with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to examine how diasporas contribute to – or detract from - development efforts in their countries of origin. MPI and USAID have published an edited volume of the research. Please join us for the release of the book where speakers will discuss new thinking on the role of diaspora engagement in U.S. foreign and development policy.
This edited volume examines the development impact of diasporas in six critical areas: entrepreneurship, capital markets, "nostalgia" trade and "heritage" tourism, philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy.
This report provides an overview of diaspora advocacy by looking at five issues: who participates in diaspora advocacy, who or what are the "targets" in these efforts, what means are used to advance these causes, what are the issues on which they focus, and the effectiveness of the efforts.
This report examines the diaspora entrepreneurs who are often motivated to contribute to job creation and economic growth in their native lands, and offers some key findings and policy options.
This report explores how nostalgia trade and heritage tourism can involve diaspora populations in transactions that ease the integration of their homeland economies, while helping maintain their ties to their countries of origin or ancestry.
This report analyzes the evolving role of diaspora philanthropy in countries of origin, and examines the emergence of nongovernmental development actors and new trends in global philanthropy, such as strategic giving and use of online platforms to harness small donations.
Nearly 1 million U.S. residents spend time volunteering abroad each year, including nearly 200,000 first- and second-generation immigrants. As skilled migration and the number of U.S. youth with ancestors in the developing world grow, this report shows the potential for diaspora service volunteers to assist with development in a number of countries.

Arizona Property Tax Break For Business Equipment Amendment, Proposition 116 (2012)
|Proposition 116
|Click here for the latest news on U.S. ballot measures
|Quick stats
|Constitutional amendment
|Arizona Constitution
|Referred by:
|Arizona State Legislature
Election results
- See also: 2012 ballot measure election results
The following are unofficial election results:
|Arizona Proposition 116
Precinct totals are not final and have not yet been reported
Results via the Arizona Republic.
Text of the measure
The summary of the measure read as follows:[2]
|A Concurrent Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of Arizona; Amending Article IX, Section 2, Constitution of Arizona; Relating to property tax exemptions.[3]
- The main campaign in favor of the measure is Vote Yes on 116.
- The campaign states on their website, "When our small businesses invest in new equipment and machinery they also must hire new workers to operate those machines. The Small Business Job Creation Act rolls back Arizona's heavy equipment and machinery tax that's owed before any new workers are hired or any new production is realized. This burdensome equipment and machinery tax makes it much harder to attract new businesses to Arizona and discourages our home-grown small businesses from taking the risk of expanding and creating more jobs."
- State Senator Steve Smith stated, "Prop. 116 will help create thousands of new jobs in Arizona by removing one of the heaviest drags on our small businesses by reducing the tax that they incur the moment they acquire new equipment and machinery and before they hire one worker or make any product to sell. Also, the new investment spurred by passage of Prop. 116 will be 100 percent financed by the private sector, precisely where it ought to be financed from."[4]
The following are arguments that were submitted to the Arizona Secretary of State for the state voter guide. More arguments can be read here:
- "Let's bring Arizona out of the recession! History shows that small businesses are the source of two-thirds of all new private sector jobs when we come out of an economic downturn. I believe it's the responsibility of government to do what it can to help our small businesses lead us to growth and prosperity. That doesn't mean government should pick winners and losers and it certainty doesn't mean spending taxpayer dollars on outright subsides. No, our small businesses succeed in spite of government intervention not because of it. A highlight of my legislative service has been working with small business job creators to write the referendum you see as Proposition 116, the Small Business Job Creation Act. It's a straight-forward proposal designed to get government out of the way by rolling back the unwise policy Arizona adopted a century ago that punishes private sector investment in the equipment and machinery essential to creating jobs. This tax is something small businesses incur the moment they acquire new equipment and machinery and before they hire one worker or make any product to sell. Proposition 116 will create thousands of new jobs in Arizona by removing one of the heaviest drags on our small businesses. It does so without creating a new bureaucracy or foolishly spending the taxpayers' money. The new investment spurred by passage of Proposition 116 will be 100% financed by the private sector--precisely where it ought to be financed from. It's a testament to the public policy soundness of Proposition 116 that it was unanimously adopted by our lawmakers who all too often cannot agree on much of anything substantial. I urge you to join me, our small business job creators and leaders from across the political spectrum to vote "yes" on Proposition 116."
- Submitted by Andy Biggs, State Senator, Majority Leader, Arizona State Senate.
- "Statement: The Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce supports the increase of the personal property tax exemption and believes it will encourage businesses to grow and expand. Business owners are slowly recovering from the economic downturn. This is a necessary initiative to stimulate reinvestment in their business machinery for growth."
- Submitted by Lea Marquez Peterson, President & CEO, Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce; Tannya Gaxiola, Chairwoman, Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerc.
According to reports, no opposing arguments were submitted to the Arizona Secretary of State's office.[5]
Campaign contributions
The following are contributions made in support of the measure:[6]
|Total campaign cash
|Vote Yes on 116
No campaign contributions were made in opposition of the measure, according to state election websites.[7]
Media endorsements
- The Yuma Sun stated, "Prop 116 will alter how equipment used by businesses in Arizona is taxed. Currently any equipment owned by a company is factored into property taxes for them, in addition to their land and buildings. Currently, about $68,000 worth of that equipment value is exempted from taxes, but this proposition would increase that exemption to as much as $2.4 million. There are good reasons to do this.[8]
- The Arizona Republic stated, "In recent years, the Legislature has dramatically improved the tool kit for economic-development agencies working to entice businesses to open shop in Arizona and to encourage existing businesses to expand. Proposition 116 enlarges that tool kit and is worthy of voter support."[9]
Path to the ballot
A majority vote is required in the Arizona State Legislature to send a constitutional amendment to the ballot. Arizona is one of ten states that allow a referred amendment to go on the ballot after a majority vote in one session of the state's legislature.

I was recently blessed to have the opportunity to meet Garchen Rinpoche as currently I am living at his sangha, The Garchen Institute in AZ. The experience was one of a kind; let me tell you about it.
When he arrived with his group of assistants and monks, a group of us sangha members were there with white scarf offerings to greet him. With obvious joy he greeted us one by one with enormous affection: hugs, smiles, handshakes, and of course draping the scarfs around our necks and around Drupon Rinche Dorjee's hair tuft (this made me laugh). When he greeted me with a handshake and a hug, he commented on the coldness of my hands with silly, loving compassion (seriously, they're like 20 degrees colder than the rest of my body) that immediately put me at ease.
After this greeting I was standing outside of the house not really knowing what to do and his translator (Garchen only speaks Tibetan as far as I know), Ina, invited me inside the lama house. Stepping inside and taking off my shoes, H.E. immediately told me to sit down at the dinner table where he was going through some mail and doing other perfunctionary household things. So of course I sat.
Trying to remain unobtrusive, I slowly took in my surroundings. His assistants were beginning to make dinner, playing on their iPads, doing work on the computer, and Rinpoche was continually happy making silly faces and seemed to be doing about the same thing I was, except of course for the prayer wheel next to him on the table which never stopped spinning the entire hour and a half I was there (what mindfulness!). Eventually he asked, with the help of Drupon Rinche Dorjee, where I was from, if I'd been there before, and since I hadn't, that I should stay for dinner to welcome me to the place. So of course I stayed.
Apparently, because it's a cultural thing here, they eat meat here, so the dumpling-like soup had beef in it, which I hadn't ate for about seven years, and it also had onions in it, which I was allergic to. However, at the end of the night, my stomach couldn't have been more content. Before the meal, H.E. make a smoke offering which he pushed a clip of papers (I have no idea where they appeared from) in front of me so I could attempt to follow along while he chanted. Fortunately, though I could never find the verse he was on, there were translations, so some of the beautiful meaning wasn't fully lost on me.
Throughout the little time I spent there, he continually gave me things. First, a beautiful mala that smelled amazing (he made me smell it before he put it on my wrist); then, a bag of pecans; and finally, a yellow t-shirt. I also asked what practice would be most beneficial to work on to which he replied the Thirty Seven Bodhisattva Practices. I have little doubt that if I had stayed any longer, I'd probably have more gifts in my possession. The air simple teemed with love, generosity, and acceptance; I couldn't have been happier.
When the meal ended, there was no dilly-dallying. Garchen Rinpoche and a group of his assistance got up and left the house on apparent urgent business. The moment was over. I gathered my new belongings, offering to help clean up (which was continually denied), thanked everyone again profusely, put on my shoes, and returned to my work-study room feeling light and extremely happy.
That, my friends, is what it's like to dine with a living Buddha. There was not a moment of lapse of mindfulness, love, generosity, or acceptance. What blessed people we are to have masters like he teaching the profound Dharma.
Thank you for reading my story; I hope it brightened your day as it has my week.

No. 11 Women's Lacrosse Upset by No. 13 Queens in Non-Conference Action
February 25, 2014
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Despite a solid offensive effort and a first-half hat trick from junior Kristi Korn, the No. 11 Pfeiffer women's lacrosse team fell to cross-town rival No. 13 Queens on Tuesday, 13-10. The loss is Pfeiffer's first of the fledgling season dropping their record to 2-1. With the win Queens improves to 3-1 overall.
Korn finished with a team-high four goals, her third coming with just 18 seconds left in the first half of competition. Also with a notable offensive performance for the Falcons was reigning Conference Carolinas women's lacrosse player of the week, junior Ashleigh Kassab. Kassab added two tallies in the contest giving her ten total for the season and boosting her average to over three per game. Also contributing two goals in the match for Pfeiffer was freshman Stephanie Athens.
The Falcons found themselves in a hole early as the visitors picked up two goals in the first five and a half minutes of play. Pfeiffer was determined to defend their home turf and quickly answered with two goals of their own. Korn picked up her first score of the afternoon less than a minute after Queens' second tally. Almost 30 seconds after Korn's goal, Kassab picked up her first of the day when she found herself wide open in front of the Queens net.
The Lions' Abigail Paulus seemed too much to handle for Pfeiffer however, and 20 seconds after the Falcons' equalizing goal, Paulus notched her third which started a flurry of goals from the visitors. Pfeiffer battled back and ended the first half only down by two to the visiting team. The second half would prove to be extremely close with Queens leading the second frame scoring 6-5 and ultimately ruining the home team's comeback hopes. Paulus led all players with six goals on the afternoon.
Pfeiffer returns to action on March 1st when they take on Regis in their second game of a three game home stand. Game time is set for noon.

Effect: Your energy bills will still be higher than necessary if you don't start with cheaper, smaller upgrades to improve the energy efficiency of your home, such as caulking around windows and doors and adding insulation.
9. Upgrading to the most efficient furnace on the market
Cause: You want the sleekest, most energy-efficient furnace available because it will be the most cost effective as well.
Effect: You may end up replacing an oversized furnace with another (albeit more efficient) oversized furnace. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that most U.S. homes have oversized HVAC systems. Again, insulate and weatherize to maximize efficiency, then get the smallest system that will comfortably meet your heating needs, which will be substantially reduced. Also make sure it is professionally installed.
10. Using incandescent light bulbs for heating
Cause: Incandescent bulbs give off more heat than light, so they must be warming up the house.
Effect: It is hard to see this logic as anything but a weak excuse for holding on to the Edison bulbs rather than switching to CFL and LED lighting. In fact, one German entrepreneur is marketing incandescent bulbs as "heat balls" to skirt EU laws against the old-style bulbs. However, I doubt he is keeping cozy this winter simply by sleeping with the lights on.

New album: Now What?
Artist: Deep Purple
Label: Edel
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
For their first album since 2005's "Rapture of the Deep," musical members of Deep Purple enlisted veteran producer Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, Kula Shaker). Although Ezrin is known for well-crafted studio albums, the veteran producer wisely chose to channel Deep Purple's live interplay and ferocity into the new album.
Deep Purple created several landmark heavy rock albums in the early 1970s that have been a blessing and a curse in the ensuing years. There's no denying "In Rock," "Fireball" and "Machine Head" contain some of the best knuckle-busting rock ever committed to tape, thus justifying the group's reputation.
The downside of creating such behemoth successes is that lazy journalists are still asking the band to tell the story of how "Smoke on the Water" was written 40-plus years after the fact.
Thankfully, Deep Purple survived more upheavals than a third world country and experienced a rebirth beginning in the late 1990s. "Now What?" sits nicely alongside modern triumphs such as "Purpendicular" and "Abandon," and in many ways recaptures the sound that made them legends in the first place.
What people tend to forget about Deep Purple's music is that it's funky. If you don't believe me, do a YouTube search for the tribute given to Purple drummer Ian Paice by Red Hot Chili Pepper Chad Smith. The album opens with the ethereal strains of "Simple Song" — which may be a nod to the recent passing of Purple charter member Jon Lord.
After about 40 seconds, though, the soothing playing of Morse and keyboardist Don Airey give way to a thundering slice of hard rock. Paice drives the song forcefully, but with funk and taste.
"Wierdistan" proves the band still has a knack for humorous wordplay, and singer Ian Gillan's now has the seasoned sound of a tenured professor that all the students like. "Above and Beyond" is a healthy dip in the prog rock pool, but the band pummels and soars in its execution.
Hopefully, "Above and Beyond" will make its way into the set list for the upcoming tour, as one could imagine Morse, Airey and bassist Roger Glover tossing solos back and forth with suitable aplomb.
Replete with surging chord progressions, theremin-like guitar and horror-movie inspired lyrics, "Vincent Price" is fresh territory for Deep Purple. Featuring the best lyric in the Purple cannon since "Ted the Mechanic," "Vincent Price" is as bone-rattlingly superb as anything from their supposed early 1970s prime.
"Now What?" is proof that veteran rock acts don't have to put on a tuxedo and start singing Cole Porter songs to remain relevant. Rod Stewart may make more money pretending to be Tony Bennett, but he's not as cool as Deep Purple, and isn't that what really counts?

Classic album: Poison
Artist: Bell Biv Devoe
Label: MCA
Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5
Bell Biv Devoe was a trio consisting of former New Edition members Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe. Bobby Brown was the New Edition member pegged for further stardom, but this trio delivered an album in "Poison" that surpassed anything Brown did as a solo artist.
"Poison" stands out from other R&B of its day (1990) because of its inventive production. Led by producers Eric Sadler, Keith Shocklee and Hank Shocklee, "Poison" was a new hybrid of R&B, rock, pop and funk. The overall attack was light years away from the syrupy puppy-love sound of New Edition, yet it was still viable to a pop and R&B audience.
Although the slang hasn't aged very well, lead-off track "Dope!" (as in "she's dope," not Tommy Chong "dope") was a catchy tune that was the perfect progression for the 15-year-olds who had outgrown New Edition. "I Thought It Was Me" sounds like Michael Jackson singing over the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" theme song, which at the time would have been a license to print money.
Any pop album worth its salt needs at least one ballad, and this album has two. "I Do Need You" and "When Will I See You Smile Again" are diabetically sweet, well-executed songs that were tacked onto the end of the lp.
Artistically, these songs have no business on what was at the time a moderately hard-hitting funk-pop album. From a business point of view, it just made sense to keep any holdover New Edition fans happy.
The jewel of this album (and the group's career) is the song "Poison," featuring an almost jazzy vocal hook and a beat that inspired millions (including "Scrubs" star Donald Faison) to attack the dance floor. Written by "Dope!" author Elliot Straite, "Poison" was as inventive as mainstream pop got in 1990, and in 2013 it still gets many a high school reunion jumping.
Aside from the pair of saccharine infested ballads, "Poison" was a high-water mark in modern R&B.

Submit inquiries and request for more information for this :
David has his own balloon, a Cameron Viva 90 (G-SIAM), that he uses for private pleasure flying only. The high ambient temperatures in Thailand restrict hot air balloon flying to the early morning and late afternoon. The best time of year to fly balloons is the 'cooler' period between early November and early February. Flight clearances from the DOA take about two weeks to process and are usually issued for a 5NM radius from point of origin with a maximum altitude of 500' AGL. Each clearance requires a photograph of the take off site and the owner's written permission. David is also happy to help foreign balloonists looking for information about private ballooning in Thailand.

With all that has happened with Nick Doscher since he was one of the top prospects for the first Burlington Royals baseball team in 2007, it's no wonder the former professional catcher is unfazed by his winding path.
"Can't even make it up," said Doscher, the quarterback who'll play as a Wagner senior today in the Football Championship Division playoffs.
During that summer five-plus years ago, Doscher was a recently turned 20-year-old and one of the younger players on the Burlington team. Move ahead, he's the 25-year-old directing a football team that includes teenagers.
"We had a bunch of older signees. I was still one of the younger ones," Doscher said of his time in the Appalachian League. "Now that I'm 25, I'm playing with 17-year-olds who haven't even turned 18. … It's kind of like baseball, some of those kids coming here (to the United States) as 16-year-olds."
Baseball didn't work out for Doscher, who was released by the parent Kansas City organization less than a year after his Burlington season. This came despite the investment made in the eighth-round draft selection. A career batting average of .208 and one home run — in a Burlington uniform — were in large part the reason.
He was released June 8, 2008 — three years to day that he was drafted.
"That's a day that I'll never forget, both positive and negatives," he said this week, recalling the situation. "I was 21. I thought I would have gotten a little better of a chance.
"After my time with the Royals, I tried to play baseball. I didn't have any solid offers. I was still in good enough shape after my four years with the Royals. I figured why not give it a try."
Doscher had roots as a quarterback coming out of New York City. He hadn't forgotten, nor had others. There wasn't as much interest from football recruiters as there was several years earlier, when Virginia was among the schools that had expressed interest. This time, Delaware might have been the most notable team on his list of potential destinations.
By January 2009, he enrolled at Wagner and began another pursuit with the school located on New York's Staten Island.
"It was a little weird when I first got here," he said. "Getting back into the classroom, I took four years off."
When he arrived, he was the same age as many of the upperclassmen so he said that helped.
There was also a change in Wagner's offensive system, meaning Doscher showed up at an ideal time as the Seahawks went to a spread offense. Soon, he had displaced returning starter Adam Farnsworth, a transfer from Iowa.
"I couldn't imagine it working out any better," he said. "I don't know if they were expecting too much out of me. Taking four years off. New York City football isn't real high on the pecking order, so I think I came with some doubts.
"Being there for that first semester, they helped me out tremendously to get back in the swing of things."
Now, he's an All-Northeast Conference first-team quarterback.
Entering today's first-round home game in the national playoffs against Patriot League champion Colgate, Doscher is Wagner's all-time leader in total offense with 8,049 yards. He has thrown for 5,902 yards and rushed for another 2,169.
This season, hasn't tossed an interception since the opener at Florida Atlantic, a string of 191 passes without a pick-off. That has translated into the best passing efficiency rating in the Northeast Conference.
Just like baseball, still hidden behind a facemask, Doscher has made the most of his latest endeavor.
"He's the face of the program," said John Beisser, Wagner's assistant athletics director of media relations. "His true freshman year, he took this league by storm."
Given Doscher's uncomfortable parting from baseball, this turned out to be the next-best thing. He hasn't severed ties with members of the Royals organization. He counts Kansas City third baseman Mike Moustakas as one of his closest friends.
Last winter, he traveled to California to spend time with Moustakas, leading to a visit with former Burlington shortstop Kyle Martin.
And when the big-league Royals visited Yankee Stadium this year, Doscher was there, too, pulling against the team he grew up adoring.
"Blood is thicker than water," he said, noting the bonds he developed with baseball teammates. "It was weird going into Yankee Stadium and rooting against the Yankees."
Doscher said spending parts of four seasons in the Royals organization gave him a foundation as he became an adult. He couldn't simply turn his back on that part of his life.
"I still keep in touch with a lot of guys with the Royals. I talk to Clint Robinson, Derrick Robinson. D-Lough a little bit," he said, noting connections maintained through social media. "I follow them. Every once in a while I'll check out how all my old Burlington Royals are doing."
David Lough, a 2007 Burlington outfielder who reached the major leagues this year, took the opposite path of Doscher, playing college football at Mercyhurst prior to becoming a professional baseball player.
For various reasons, Doscher has an eye on the Royals organization. He's even aware of some of the makeup of Burlington's 2012 roster — five years after playing here.
"It was tough to keep in touch with anyone," Doscher said. "We've kept in touch pretty good. I didn't know how it would be when it didn't work out with the Royals.
"It worked out better than I thought it would."
Doscher, who majors in business management, said when Wagner's season ends, his playing days are probably finished.
"I don't think it's too realistic, but you never know," he said ending up in professional football.
Not to mention his football style has been described as one in which he turns into a fullback when he crosses the line of scrimmage.
"It hurts a little bit getting out of bed," he said.
Yet the catcher-to-quarterback combination is one of that makes for a nice fit.
"I guess that's me always playing quarterback," he said. "I always considered myself to be a leader. If (the younger teammates) see me working hard, that pushes me to be that way."
Having gone through the rigors of college football and experienced the time commitment, he said playing two sports in college coming out of high school might have been overwhelming.
"Now looking back on it, I don't think it would have been a very good idea," he said.
Still, that thirst for baseball is something Doscher might never totally quench even as football has made him an icon on a college campus.
"Just getting out there and competing," he said. "I still think baseball is the best sport. You're out there playing every day.
"But nothing beats a football gameday. When Saturday at 1 o'clock comes around, there's nothing that beats that. There's nothing to beat that feeling."
And yet, in this case, football certainly became a detour.
"I had hoped I would have a 20-year big-league career and I wouldn't have to worry about it," he said.
So, yes, he misses baseball and all the possibilities that existed for him until a few years ago.
"It was tough. My dreams, since I was a little kid, were to play professional baseball … When you think of professional, you don't think of the bus trips to Elizabethton, Tenn. You think of playing in Yankee Stadium."
Now the player who showed up as a promising prospect more than five years ago in a small North Carolina city returned to the city that proclaims to be the world's largest stage. It's there, where he rediscovered a piece of athletic success.
"It was a great life experience," Doscher said of the change of fortunes. "I couldn't sit around and sulk too much. I wanted to keep going and pursue something else."

Pinar Karsiyaka added to BK Ventspils' woes as they came from behind in the final minute to claim an 86-81 road win in Group I of the EuroChallenge.
Ventspils marched through the EuroChallenge regular season unbeaten but have now lost their opening two games in the Last 16 stage after going down in a tense finish here.
It was a desperately close game throughout, with 15 lead changes and 11 ties, and neither team ever holding an advantage of more than seven points.
Ventspils were the team to have their noses narrowly in front coming down the stretch, with Martins Meiers twice giving them the lead with late lay-ups.
William Thomas' three-pointer gave Karsiyaka a 76-75 advantage with 85 seconds left, but Sandis Valters went to the line to make it 77-76 to Ventspils 63 ticks from time.
But Jon Diebler's three-pointer then started a decisive run in the game as Janis Timma turned the ball over to allow Robert Dixon to add two free throws.
Another Ventspils turnover, this time from Donald Sims, led to Dixon returning to the free-throw line again, making two more that made it 83-77 with just 19 seconds left.
Arturs Berzins hit a three to give Ventspils hope, but key free throws from Thomas saw Karsiyaka home.
Dixon poured in 32 points to lead Karsiyaka while Thomas had 15 with 11 rebounds. Diebler finished with 17 points while Abdul Aminu had 13.
Berzins led Ventspils with 19 points while Valters and Folarin Campbell had 14 each, Meiers 13 and Sims 10.
Pinar Karsiyaka player Robert Dixon
"We played hard, we did everything we could. We played like a team."
Pinar Karsiyaka head coach Ufuk Sarica
"It is a very good win. Ventspils is a very good and tough team, especially on their home court, but tonight we were better than them. We did not play good defence though we played like a team and played hard. Congratulations to all my players with this win."
Ventspils player Arturs Berzins
"We did not play well tonight. 86 points against a team like Karsiyaka is like suicide. The free-throw percentage was low. At the end of the game we made mistakes, and they used it to their advantage. Very experienced team of a high level."
Ventspils head coach Roberts Stelmahers
"It is a pity we lost. Some mistakes in defence at the end of the game decided the result. Karsiyaka is a very strong team in all positions, and this factor helped them. The low free-throw percentage also was a factor for the loss. Next time we will be better prepared and ready to play."

About Lettuce
Seven-man ensemble is a real band of brothers (Updated May 30, 2013)
Celebrating more than two decades as a band ruled by old school funk, the Brooklyn-based Lettuce is the seven-member ensemble of Eric Krasno, Neal Evans, Adam Deitch, Erick "E.D." Coomes, Adam "Shmeeans" Smirnoff, Sam Kininger, Ryan Zoidis, and Nigel Hall. They are hailed for energetic live shows and unrivaled chemistry, often referring to themselves as a true band of brothers.
Lettuce was founded in 1992 when all of its members attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. They cited influences of various other funk bands including Earth, Wind and Fire and Tower of Power, and eventually began playing together in Boston jazz clubs in the fall of 1994. The band's name stems from asking club owners and other musicians if they would "Let us play?", spawing the name Lettuce.
Thanks to a true grass roots effort and word of mouth advertising, Lettuce had developed a following in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Tokyo by the time they released their first album. The 2001 effort, "Outta Here," was followed by "Live in Tokyo" in 2003, while "Rage" bowed in 2008 and included covers of Charles Wright's "Express Yourself" and Curtis Mayfield's "Move on Up."
The band's latest project, "Fly!" was released in 2012, with the title track recorded all analog to two-inch tape, dubbed out with reverb and delay. Other tracks like "Madison Square" and "Ziggowatt" are more futuristic, while "Bowler" is said to be well-suited for a live audience. The band toured coast-to-coast in 2011, then conquered the east coast of the U.S. in late 2012. They kicked things off with a date at Terminal 5 in New York City on October 20, then visited select cities like Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. in early November.
Lettuce played with the Soul Rebels Brass Band on Jam Cruise 2013, and recently performed at the Summer Camp Music Festival in Chillicothe, Illinois' Three Sisters Park. They'll also play the All Good Music Festival in Thornville, Ohio on July 18, the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan on July 26 and the Catskill Chill Music Festival in Hancock, New York on September 6.
