Here are details of a few of the specific steps Kerry took to hide evidence about these P.O.W.'s.
The Kerry committee's final report, issued in January 1993, delivered the ultimate insult to history. The 1,223-page document said there was "no compelling evidence that proves" there is anyone still in captivity. As for the primary investigative question what happened to the men left behind in 1973the report conceded only that there is "evidence . . . that indicates the possibility of survival, at least for a small number" of prisoners 31 years ago, after Hanoi released the 591 P.O.W.'s it had admitted to.
"Did America Abandon Vietnam War POWs?" by Sydney H. Schanberg
Vets Demonstrate Against 'Jane Fonda Kerry' on Park Ave
( 2 min. 8 sec.)
With these word games, the committee report buried the issueand the men.
The huge document contained no findings about what happened to the supposedly "small number." If they were no longer alive, then how did they die? Were they executed when ransom offers were rejected by Washington?
Kerry now slides past all the radio messages, satellite photos, live sightings, and boxes of intelligence documentsall the evidence. In his comments for this piece, this candidate for the presidency said: "No nation has gone to the lengths that we did to account for their dead. Noneever in history."
Of the so-called "possibility" of a "small number" of men left behind, the committee report went on to say that if this did happen, the men were not "knowingly abandoned," just "shunted aside." How do you put that on a gravestone?

Brisk ensemble playing ensures that the level of nasty byplay remains high here. "Get a hotel room, you cheap bastard" is the comfort you're likely to be offered if you spend a night in the station house due to marital discord. Though Bill Nunn doesn't have much to do beyond looking concerned and taking his wife's abuse, Lenny Clarke, as retiree-in-waiting Frank Harrigan, strikes a wonderfully bittersweet note of stumpy defeat, and all of Leary's co-workers effectively ignite off McNeil's slow burn.
And so, once again, the choice is yours. You can adore this show's bracing snarl and mourn its demise or nurse it along while abiding its occasional missteps--or ignore it wholesale and wait for another group of handsome adults in bikinis to turn up in a remote location, trailed by a team of cameras. Do it for Denis--with this guy, a little compassion goes a long way.

Overall Experience
Great Service nice space
May 19, 2015
hotel staff is exceptional, every issue was handled immediately and we were compensated in some manner for the issues we encountered. My only recommendation would be updated living room furniture. The furniture in the living room was not very comfortable and I did not feel it was clean enough to relax on.
Comfortable home away
May 19, 2015
Nice set up. My son and I stayed for 3 months in a 1-bd room suite while waiting for our permanent apt. We were very comfortable. Kitchen appliances and cookware were more than adequate for family meal prep. Fast internet. Loved the free laundry.
Only a few minor disappointments: old heater/air conditioning unit was loud, filter kept popping out; Local TV channels went out every time it rained; No recycling available for simple bottles, cans, newspapers, etc. Cupboard items were convenient but too pricey.
While not the cheapest option, it was definitely the best value, cleanest and stylish in extended stays. Staff was very accommodating.
had a great stay

Excellent place to stay....everything was awesome from check-in to check-out......Will definitely stay here again!
Great place for a long or short stay
May 18, 2015
This place was great, very large kitchen and work area (even being in the most modest room selection). They have everything you need there and everything worked great. No one was loud, I saw police cars doing normal patrols just about every night so I felt very safe here. Would definitely stay here again when I'm in town.

I live in Atlanta and during a League Tennis match ran into a guy like this. He developed a reputation in our division for blatant cheating and others said he was far worse than in our match. He was an older guy and had trouble keeping his cool and energy up.
I easily winning the first set and he started calling anything close to a line out. He would take a long pause, walk slowly to where the ball bounced, and say, "I guess I'll have to call that out" as if he were reluctantly calling the ball out and really, really wanted to give me the point.
I left the court and gave him the match when on game point he called a soft drop shot out because he couldn't get to it. When I very calmly explained that he coould have the match and to have a great season he grew agitated and claimed the ball left a mark and it was clearly out, yadda, yadda, yadda. It was on my home court, it was perfectly dry, it was sunny, and the shot couldn't be any softer. It left no mark and I was next to the point of bounce and he was as far cross court as one could be which is why he couldn't get to the ball.
Others in the division said his cheating got worse the more he was losing. I simply didn't go that far with him.
In the future I'll handle blatant cheaters differently. As another TT member advised the best apporach is to simply start calling every shot of the cheater out. When he protests explain that it's "my call" and if he's going cheat I can call good shots out too and that a better alternative is for him to stop cheating and just play the match.
It needs to be blatant too. It's very easy to make mistakes and tough to see from the far side of the court.
During a recent ITF juniors tournament here in Atlanta the male players frequently missed calls, especially on serve. And they frequently accused one another of cheating. But even officials can be very wrong. I watched the boys (high school aged) semi-finals and one of the chair umpires was terrible. He called out the wrong score three times and was corrected by the players. He also missed obvious calls which upset the players and drew looks of shock from the spectators. On more than one occassion a player looked embarrassed as his opponent argued an obviously bad call by the chair but he wouldn't budge. Finally a spectator called in an ITF official to monitor the situation.

Representative was waiting with a sign with our name on it, as promised. This REALLY helped, since many of the companies have similar uniforms and ALL were trying to get you to use them. The car took us right to our hotel and the driver was very friendly and gave good ideas for things to do. Great service!

From the Publisher
"Hale and Fiorello have met their goal in this book, providing a clearly written, data-based survey of the child-centered brain/n-/behavior literature. Clinically relevant and user-friendly, this book will serve as a primary text in beginning-level graduate neuropsychology courses, and as a supplemental text in cognitive assessment courses. It is also a useful reference for clinicians and researchers working with children and adolescents."--Vincent C. Alfonso, PhD, Graduate School of Education, Fordham University
"This unique volume brings together the fundamentals of neuropsychology and brain organization with discussions of specific neurodevelopmental syndromes, their impact on learning and behavior, and practical issues of diagnosis and remediation. State-of-the-art knowledge is presented in a reader-friendly, engaging manner. This book will be an invaluable reference and guide for school psychologists, child neuropsychologists, child psychiatrists, special education professionals, and anyone else concerned with brain-behavior relationships in the educational context."--Elkhonon Goldberg, PhD, Department of Neurology, New York University School of Medicine
"Finally, another neuropsychology book geared to practitioners! This much-needed volume integrates brain-behavior relationships within an educational context. Recent research has made clear that we cannot understand individuals without studying neuropsychology, yet few resources like this one exist. Practitioners, researchers, and students will find a variety of cases, figures, forms, and charts that are helpful in the daily practice of school psychology. The text is written in a user-friendly fashion, offers a variety of essential neuropsychological information, and comprehensively reviews related assessment activities, while focusing on interventions. In sum, it offers the beginning knowledge base that is missing from so many school psychology programs."--Rik Carl D'Amato, PhD, Editor, School Psychology Quarterly; College of Education, University of Northern Colorado

I was not delivered unto this World in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.
The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.
I will be likened to the rain drop which washes away the mountain, the ant who devours a tiger, the star which brightens the earth, the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking. I will persist until I succeed.
I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure.
I will remember, the ancient law of averages and I will bend it to my good. Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune I encounter I will carry in it the seed of tomorrow's good luck. I must have the night to appreciate the day. I must fail often to succeed only once. I will persist until I succeed.
Never will I allow any day to end with a failure. Thus I will plant the seed of tomorrow's success and gain an insurmountable advance over those who cease their labor at a prescribed time. When others cease their struggle, then mine will begin, and my harvest will be full.
Nor will I allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the greatest foundation of failure. I will forget the happenings of the day that is gone, whether they were good or bad, and greet the new sun with confidence that this will be the best day of my life.
So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist. For I know one of the principles of success - if I persist long enough I will win.
I will persist! I will win!

Cute and good quality!
posted 6 years ago
This is a good quality fleece warmer if your dog will tolerate wearing it - my dog isn't crazy about wearing jackets or capes, but perhaps she'll get more used to this in time. II do think for walking outside in the winter it's a good product.
Pros: Good quality, keeps dog warm
Cons: Dog has to tolerate wearing it!

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/5/14
The Cleveland Indians formally introduced new manager Terry Francona at a press conference Monday at Progressive Field. Francona signed a four-year deal over the weekend to manage the Indians, but hopes to be around longer than that. "I don't want to be a rental manager," Francona said. "I didn't want to come in worried. I want to be part of the solution. I want to stick around. "I didn't come here to go to pasture." Francona is the Indians 42nd manager. He takes over a club coming off a 68-94 season. Francona led the Boston Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007. He was let go last year after a September collapse in which the Red Sox went 7-20 down the stretch to miss out on a playoff spot. He spent this season working as an analyst for ESPN. Francona replaces Manny Acta, who was fired in September. Sandy Alomar Jr. managed the team in the interim to finish the season. He was the only other known candidate for the job. Acta was ousted just before finishing ...

Whitney Houston's Ultra-Mod Mansion Bought by Fan
We're not sure what the new owner's decorating plans are, so see inside this modern marvel while you can.
After the ultra-modern home of the late Whitney Houston languished on the market for more than four years, Dr. Matthew Krauthamer bought the home for $1.5 million. The 33-year-old emergency room physician said that he was always the fan of the singer and actress, not only for her talent, but for her acts of kindness as well.
See Inside Whitney Houston's Former Modern MansionView All 15 Photos
There's a swimming pool, tennis courts, a basketball court, two Jacuzzis and lots of outdoor patio space for entertaining.
Fans and film companies have already contacted Krauthamer wanting to see inside the home. He said that he plans to live in the home and will not exploit the singer's fame for profit. We're not sure about his decorating plans, but we've got your peek inside the estate in all its modern glory.

Selena Gomez needs a little 'me' time
Stars dance, but now and then they also need to rest.
Selena Gomez will be kicking off 2014 with some much-needed "me" time. The problem is, she's canceling a bunch of shows on her "Stars Dance" tour.
On Friday, the pop singer released the following statement on her website:
"My fans are so important to me and I would never want to disappoint them. But it has become clear to me and those close to me that after many years of putting my work first, I need to spend some time on myself in order to be the best person I can be. To my fans, I sincerely apologize and I hope you guys know how much each and every one of you mean to me."
Just recently, Gomez threw a fit during a performance in Los Angeles because of technical difficulties. Before cutting her performance short and walking off the stage, the former Disney star dropped the f-bomb.
It sounds like she may be suffering from a combination of tour and holiday stress. If that's the case, get better Selena, we miss you already.

Staff members at the last remaining legal abortion clinic in the Rio Grande Valley have been repeatedly left without a job in the wake of flip-flopping court decisions.
There isn't a looming reproductive health-care crisis in the South. It has already arrived.
A clinic in El Paso was forced to stop providing legal abortion care, and found no relief in a federal court on Wednesday when it asked for a restraining order against Texas' omnibus anti-abortion law.
At its 2014 conference this week, the Abortion Care Network honored "outstanding individuals and organizations whose support and care for women in the abortion experience is exemplary," including RH Reality Check President and Editor in Chief Jodi Jacobson.
Two clinics in underserved areas of Texas—one an abortion provider—closed their doors this week, as the effects of the omnibus anti-abortion access bill passed last summer with the support of conservative lawmakers continue to unfold across the state.
Texas' omnibus anti-abortion law goes on trial again Monday morning in New Orleans.

Perth Glory assistant Lowe quits
The coaching drama at A-League club Perth Glory continues following the resignation of assistant coach Kenny Lowe.
Just a week after head coach Dave Mitchell stood down for his number two Ian Ferguson, Lowe has pulled the pin on his time with the Western Australian outfit, leaving them without an assistant.
The Glory have lost their past five games after topping the table earlier in the season and are currently in the midst of an uncertain period with coaches becoming the casualties as per usual.
Lowe, a former Birmingham City and Barnet star midfielder has been at the club for the past few seasons but did not officially address the players and failed to inform them of his decision directly.

Philippines still mulling over recognition of new gov't in Libya
MANILA, Philippines—Days after issuing a statement expressing support for a peaceful transition in Libya, Malacañang has yet to officially recognize any new government in that war ravged country.
Edwin Lacierda, President Benigno Aquino's spokesman, said the Department of Foreign Affairs has asked for more time before issuing a statement on the matter as its foreign officers were continuing to monitor the situation in Libya.
"I asked them, 'Have we recognized Libya?'. They said we still have to wait because they're still evaluating and monitoring the situation in Libya for now," Lacierda said in an interview on the state-run radio station dzRB.
"So, I told them, 'We will defer to your monitoring and evaluation and you let us know.' As of now, it has yet to reach that point (of recognizing the rebel side)," he added.
Lacierda said the safety of the country's migrant workers in Libya remained the utmost concern of the government.
"What's important for us here in the Philippines… is the protection of our OFW's (overseas Filipino workers). We continue to monitor their safety, we continue to monitor where they are at least and to monitor if they're willing to be repatriated. That is so far our primary consideration," Lacierda said.
The decision on recognizing the new government will have to wait "because we still have many nationals in Libya," Lacierda said.
Malacañang last week released a statement expressing support for the "transition" in Libya as rebel forces wrested control of most of the Middle Eastern country from longtime strongman Moammar Gadhafi.
"The Philippines welcomes the imminent resolution of the conflict in Libya," Lacierda said in a statement Wednesday.
Lacierda's statement came in the wake of an assurance from Libyan rebels to the Philippine embassy in Tripoli that fleeing Filipino migrants would be given safe passage out of the country.
On Wednesday, the Libyan Embassy in the Philippines defected to the rebels' side, raising the red, black and green flag of the anti-Gadhafi forces.
Around 1,600 Filipinos are still believed to be in Libya, many of them nurses treating casualties of the months-long uprising against Moammar Gadhafi. With Agence France-Presse

My Rating
The staff were fun, knowledgable and caring. They made sure everyone was safe and that no one got drunk. Ha ha, that must have been a tough job. The snorkelling was interesting and the time allowed was sufficient. Their equipment was new and clean.
Dunn's River Falls was incredible and once again the staff at Dunn's River made sure we all had a great experience and no one got hurt, it was challenging and a great experience.
The Falls "guide" could have been more helpful for stragglers in the back of the line. However, I would certainly recommend it for all ages.

NORMAN — The Oklahoma Sooners home opener was a blowout as most expected. Florida A&M did keep the game close early, but the talented Sooners were just too much for the Rattlers and finished the game strong, eventually taking a 69-13 victory Saturday night at Owen Field.
It was a record-setting day for junior college transfer Damien Williams, who rushed for 156 yards and four touchdowns, including an 89-yarder in the third quarter. His rushing total was the most for a player in his first game at home, and he is only the fourth OU player to rush for 100 yards in each of his first two games.
TULSA — The Tulsa Golden Hurricane football team had the feeling, at least in the opionion of its coach, Bill Blankenship, that it had a chance to win the season opener Sept. 1 at Iowa State, but didn't "keep our foot down" as Blankenship described his team's play in that game.
However, Saturday's Conference USA opener against the Tulane Green Wave at Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium was different as Tulsa prevailed 45-10.
Ronald Lee Hunt, 74, of Panama died Friday, Sept. 7, 2012, in Tulsa. Ron was born May 30, 1938, in Albany, Calif., to Atlee Fulmer and Ethel Mae (Towne) Hunt. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army and Marines. Ron was the security captain at AES. He was preceded in death by his parents; son, Robert Hill; and daughter, Fay Daffron.
Kiamichi Technology Center and the Poteau Chamber of Commerce have teamed together to offer a workshop for local employers.
The seminar, "How to Recruit and Interview the Best Hourly Workers," will be held Tuesday, Sept. 18, from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. and at the Kiamichi Technology Centers Seminar Center in Poteau. The specific content will include: ¨Strategies for attracting the hourly workers you really want and the top six interview questions ever asked.
Enhancing The Professional Woman seminar and a Small Business Vendor Showcase are the features of a September 19, 2012, event scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Donald W.

VAN BUREN, Ark. — Coach Brooks Coatney of Van Buren wanted to get a quicker start than last week. While his team drove the ball downfield fairly successfully, fumbles, however, foiled the Pointers.
Poteau scored in the first half, and then had to post two second-half touchdowns to pull out the 18-15 victory.
However, the loss may have proven costly as player Austin Barnette blew out his knee, and his status for next week was uncertain at press time. In Saturday's physical edition, due to a reporting error, the incorrect injured player is listed, and The Poteau Daily News regrets the error.
BOKOSHE — The Arkoma Mustangs had a complete turn around from last week's rout by the Keota Lions in their inter-county 48-0 win against the Bokoshe Tigers Friday night in the District C-4 opener for both teams.
Last week, the Mustangs were riddled with injuries. This week, according to Mark Weatherton, Arkoma's coach, they came together as a team.
TALIHINA — It was a good home opener for the Talihina Golden Tigers football team Friday night at Doc Robinson Stadium as they clawed the Antlers Bearcats by a score of 41-0.
Talihina was pretty much in a mismatch as Antlers had only had 19 kids.
The Golden Tigers had 320 yards total offense, while Antlers managed less than 100 yards and had only two first downs.

is there such a thing as an etsy genuis? if so, this is it.
Unverified Voracity, Terrified Of Pasties
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. So this heavily rumored Carty bomb which may or may not be a dud is rumored to be coming out Sunday. There is a competing rumor that there is no definite timetable and the thing is still being worked upon. Informed sources are skeptical about the payload here, but everyone who's emailed me appears to be getting their info from the athletic department and may be predisposed to downplay the charges. To me, the competing rumors look like some internal conflict about whether they have an actual story here, a la the NYT on John McCain.
In any case, there will be two issues leveled:
- A sizable number of UM athletes have been taking spring and summer term independent study courses in kinesiology and sociology under a few specific professors.
- In the late 80s and early 90s, Michigan bent its admissions standards for athletes(!).
The second point seems so banal I can't see how anyone can spin it into a story. Since time immemorial, Michigan has accepted anyone who qualifies under NCAA guidelines. (JUCOs and transfers, however, are another matter.) I've heard from a couple different people that Carty's main source on at least the latter part is a disgruntled kinesiology lecturer who has job security issues or got passed over for tenure or some such thing who used to be on the admissions committee, so there's might be something embarrassing there. If the timeframe here is correct, any potential NCAA violations -- doubtful in any case -- are well outside of their statute of limitations, IIRC.
The first part sounds like the Auburn scandal that erupted last year, with one major difference: apparently these are real classes and an appropriate amount of work was done. We'll see if the article contests that at all. IMO, students with questionable academic credentials that universities have a powerful motive to keep in school shouldn't be taking independent study en masse. Like the Alabama oversigning thing, it looks and feels skeezy no matter what, and the potential for abuse is extreme. It's important to compare athletes to the progress of other students to make sure you're, you know, actually educating them.
On the other hand, football players have enormous demands on their time and I can see why they might need the flexibility afforded by independent study. A few credits here and there seem reasonable.
eeeeee Nystrom. A kindly(?) reader forwarded along this video of Eric Nystrom, now of the Quad City Flames in the AHL, reprising the saucy striptease from Slapshot. No, ladies, it's not Jack Johnson, but whatever. Beefcake incoming!
This video posted, I reserve the right for one cheesecake picture on a future date of my choosing, for gender balance.
On-ice. Chad Kolarik had a gimpy practice with the hockey team yesterday, leading the Daily to speculate on his potential return:
Still, Kolarik may have a chance to be back in the lineup when Michigan hosts a second-round CCHA playoff series next Friday.
"The deadline for him in my mind is next Monday," Berenson said. "Can he practice with the team, and compete and take contact and the whole bit? Because there's no time for players that aren't 100 percent when you get in the playoffs."
If Kolarik gets up to speed with his teammates during the first three days of next week, then he'll probably be in the lineup for the weekend, Berenson said.
That's great, awesome, terrific, unexpected quasi-news, though I doubt we actually see Kolarik for the first round playoff series. Said series will be against a team that finished eighth or worse in the CCHA and Michigan should be able to handle them without Kolarik; risking an aggravation seems imprudent. But if Kolarik could be 100% for the games at the Joe and knock the rust off before the regionals, that would be a major boost to Michigan's national title hopes.
One other injury note: during the senior day festivities after the Ferris game on Friday I noticed that Matt Rust is sporting a hard cast on one arm.
(Via Michigan Tailgate.)
There is also an enormous article in USA Today about how wicked sweet Yost is.
Etc.: Carr lauded; Debord hired(!); McGuffie called "White Lightning" two weeks ago.
2008 CFBAs: Best Non-BCS Blog
The voting is finished and it's time to present this year's College Football Blogger Awards. Where possible, last year's winner, ineligible to win this year, will be presenting the award to this year's winner. Please check in at Rocky Top Talk and EDSBS for a schedule of all the awards to be presented over the next two days.
The next award presentation - for "Best National Blog" - will be around 4 at SMQB
AWARD PRESENTATION: "Best non-BCS Blog"
(Before we start it should be noted that this category was incredibly close. The runner up was a point behind the winner, and the fourth-place blog was a mere four points adrift.)
Hawaii was this year's chosen amongst the non-BCS brethren, and though it all ended in tears and broken little island dudes against Georgia, an undefeated romp through the WAC and reaching the BCS is nothing to sniff at. Chronicling it all was the somewhat confusingly named "The Warriors Will Throw (You Off The Pali)", a news-aggregator sort of blog that comprehensively assembled anything related to Colt Brennan & Co for your Hawaii-fan edification. Just click on a random month in the archives, say November, and then be prepared to scroll. Lo, everything written about Hawaii every day in one convenient spot, along with a heap of video. Any team could use something so comprehensive.

2007 WINNER: Temple Football Forever
A one man-shame factory for any moderately beleaguered school without a dedicated blogger (Michigan State and Arizona, I'm looking at you), TFF is an actual, frequently updated, serious blog about Temple Football and, as such, is a permanent Job Award Nominee until such time as it actually wins the thing. Need ten reasons to attend Temple? Check. Anger about the UConn fiasco? Check. Various other things about Temple? Temple's football team? You know, the one you pick in NCAA so that you don't win a national championship for at least three years? Check.
Here is an award. Long may it last.
A Pickle
I think Michigan hockey is in one. There's so much jitter in the PWR -- one indication that it's not the world's most reliable system -- that the weekly "bracketology" columns that are all the rage are essentially useless, but we do know a few things: M, NoDak, CC, UNH, and Miami will be the top five seeds. Wisconsin and CC are both hosting regionals.
So I'm fiddling around with brackets and if you just set things up straight 1-16, you get this:
Regional #1
16 AH Auto
Regional #2
15 CHA Auto
7 Clarkson
Regional #3
11 Minn-Mankato
Regional #4
13 Wisconsin
5 Miami
12 Minny
This is pretty smooth, considering there are sixty WCHA teams in the field, but CC and Wisconsin absolutely can't be matched up against each other because they're both hosting and UW has to be in Madison. The switch with the most bracket integrity is to flip UW into the UNH bracket and send that to Madison, but that would strip Worcester of a #1 seed that plays its home games something like 25 or 50 miles from there and would probably send the M/Clarkson/SCSU/CHA bracket there, which would be attendance death.
The committee's other option: screw over either M or NoDak and bracket one of the top two seeds in Madison against a home team. Michigan is #2 and likely to remain there (at best) unless both CC and UND go belly-up. There's a long way to go and Wacky Things will no doubt occur, but I have a bad feeling that if Wisconsin is a four seed, we're going to play them in the first round no matter what.
Side note: All of these projections are overlooking the possibility of conference-tourney interlopers. With just two Hockey East teams and one ECAC team in the tourney right now, one or both of those conference tourneys is likely to be won by teams currently out of the field, so Wisconsin is about one slot away from being out of the tourney altogether, which is the best option for Michigan.
Side note #2: Western College Hockey takes issue with the WCHA-flood concerns expressed by Elliot Olshansky and Yost Built like so:
The Blog that Yost Built took a look at the WCHA's OOC performance. He brings up a ton of evidence against the WCHA, though all of it is still anecdotal. Wouldn't it be great if there was a system that took into account *every* game and objectively measured the quality of every opponent? Oh wait, you mean there already is a system like that? Ultimately, the beef here is with the ranking system that was agreed upon before the season started, not with the WCHA itself.
No one has questioned the WCHA's position as the preeminent college hockey conference, but I think it's fair to say that any system that says eighty percent of a particular conference should be in the tournament is broken. WCH cites the RPI as a system that "objectively measure[s] the quality of every opponent" -- and I guess you could cite KRACH as a similar system -- but RPI is a jerry-rigged ranking that gets fiddled with on a regular basis. The NCAA has changed the OOP percentage, win percentage, tough roadie bonus, and exclusion of RPI-hurting wins in the time I've been following college hockey. And they've done the same to the PWR, first increasing the length of the "L10" component to 16, then dropping it entirely, changing the TUC cutoff from a .500 record to a .500 RPI to the top 25 in RPI, and making the TUC record not count when you have less than ten games registered on top of all the fiddles with the RPI. College hockey is constantly dissatisfied with its system, and for good reason: like the BCS it regularly spits out nonsensical results.
Despite the NCAA's implicit acknowledgment that the PWR is unreliable, every year they hew to this rickety thing down to the letter, which makes no sense.
Another thrust from WCH:
I think we can all agree that North Dakota, Michigan, New Hampshire, Colorado College, and Miami are all solid tournament teams. If those six teams had formed their own conference prior to the start of the season, one of two things would have happened: Either everyone would have finished .500, or somebody would have had a losing record. Should they be excluded from the tournament because of that? The same is true in the WCHA, though to a lesser extent. If somebody wins a game, that means somebody else has to lose, even if both teams are good hockey teams.
Elliot said he'd rather see Notre Dame, Providence, and Princeton in the tournament than Minnesota, Minnesota-Duluth, and Wisconsin. But what is there, other than overall record, to suggest that any of those teams belongs in the tournament more than the three WCHA teams? If you're going to take that step, why even bother with strength of schedule at all?
I think there's a terrific argument for including strength of schedule, but what we're talking about here is overrating SOS to the point where a team ten games over .500 in one of the top three conferences is in a position to be passed over by a team below .500. Does that make sense? Is there any evidence that the WCHA is so far superior to the CCHA that we should prefer the eighth-place WCHA team to the fourth place CCHA team, especially when that CCHA team has a split against #6 seed Denver?
The problem: the NCAA vastly overrates the importance of nonconference games. They form the basis for virtually all the SOS rankings and the COP category. Then they double-count SOS in a terribly arbitrary way by declaring games against the top 25 teams to be a special category all their own (thus eliminating UNO, NMU, and BGSU from consideration because each is three points adrift of the top 25!).
It's common sense: if you are one of the worst teams in your conference, you are not one of the best teams in the country and should not be afforded the opportunity to win a national title in a nigh-random pinball machine like a single-elimination hockey tournament.

AWARD PRESENTATION: "Best Big Ten Blog"
(...and associated blogs run by those lunatics before they migrated to SBNation.)
At some point in the fall, Orson asked me if there was anything he had to read that he was not, and I had one crystal-clear answer: Black Heart, Gold Pants. A conglomeration of three or four different Iowa fans who ran sporadically updated but entertaining blogs of their own, BHGP was originally "The Hawkeye Compulsion" before getting noticed and picked up by SBNation, whereupon they became a staple in the Big Ten blogger's diet. They're up for a bunch of other stuff, too, despite being totally unheard of at the year's start, and that's because they put out killer, killer content.
I know BHGP is smarting because they didn't win (again, you Susan Luccis you), but here is balm for their souls:
Feel better.

2007 WINNER: Black Shoe Diaries
Obama will be heartened to know that the way to win in Big Ten country is to be associated with the color black.
Uh... anyway, Black Shoe Diaries is the most consistent and excellent Penn State blog out there, and with PSU blogs beginning to rival those of Notre Dame, Michigan, and Georgia in terms of sheer quantity that's no mean feat. A testament to BSD's dedication: Mike continues to follow Penn State's basketball team. While this is not technically a college football achievement, anyone even slightly familiar with Penn State basketball can only imagine the dedication put into coverage of Penn State football, motto: "basically as full of white guys but much, much better." Though this site has sparred with BSD in the past, Mike remains one of the true gentlemen of the college football blogosphere and is a deserving recipient of an award.
Here is an award.
No... seriously, this picture of JLeman should be an award.

- Burnt Orange Nation
- Sunday Morning Quarterback
- Saurian Sagacity
- Smart Football
- Statistically Speaking
BON's great contribution to the wonkier outliers of the college football blogosphere was diarist Horn Brain's devastating, continued expose of Richard Billingsley's ongoing debacle masquerading as a poll, but Peter, et al., also cranked out a daily dose of Texas-specific analysis that makes BON one of the top team-specific anythings out there.
They did not win, no, but there's no shame in losing to...

Le duh! Let's take a brief gander at SMQ's front page as of right now. It contains:
- A detailed analysis of Boise State's dominance in the WAC vis a vis other intra-conference contenders
- A "we can rebuilt it" analysis of Alabama
- A detailed etymology of the term "single wing" (a guest post from MGoBlog-ite Tyler Sellhorn, but still)
- The Big Ten edition of SMQ's gigantic, perpetual "Stats Relevance Watch"
- An out-of-character but devastating fisk of Mike Freeman, aaaaand
- that video of Michigan's women's basketball coach going loco.
Not included: "Best Recurring Feature" nominee "Life on the Margins," any of SMQ's penetrating insights into what will and what did happen during the season, or his Absurdly Premature, Reasonably Anticipatory, or Frantically Rushed team previews. The only shame is that MGoBlog was not eligible so that SMQ could give this space the thorough beating it deserves. Congratulations, here is an award.
While I Was Gone
The cloaking mechanism broke. I blame Romulan saboteurs. It should now be repaired, which means mgoblog.com will work again. If this happens in the future, mgoblog.blogspot.com will still work.
Hockey split against Michigan State and Ferris State. Results: one CCHA title, one lost #1 ranking in the Pairwise, and burgeoning concerns about how good the team really is. Other than a lackluster pair of 4-2 wins over Lake State, each of which was a close game that looked more comfortable than it was because of an empty-netter, Michigan hasn't swept an opponent since the mid-January Notre Dame series. There are plenty of mitigating factors -- the Kolarik injury, some questionable play by Bryan Hogan, atrocious refereeing in the Miami series, and plain bad luck in spots -- but a 5-3-4 stretch run is quite a comedown for a team that was 22-2 before that.
Michigan's hold on a top-two spot is now extremely tenuous. Before Saturday's games they had ceded the #1 spot in the PWR to Colorado College; a CC loss to Minnesota State repaired the damage but the comparison remains terribly close. Meanwhile, an OT goal salvaged a 2-1 victory over Minnesota-Duluth for North Dakota, pushing their RPI ahead of Michigan's and giving them the #1 overall spot.
Michigan is now second with CC breathing down their neck. If CC passes Michigan, they'll miss the opportunity to take on a CHA or Atlantic Hockey autobid team. Worse, Wisconsin continues to linger around the edge of the tourney. They're currently the last #4 seed, and if that holds up Michigan's almost definitely going to draw them in the first round at home, for the following reasons:
- CC has to play at home since they're hosting,
- in this scenario NoDak is one of the top two seeds and has earned the right to get an autobid team, which they will do out East because Wisconsin is also hosting,
- UNH would be the other #1 seed and will almost definitely end up in Worcester for attendance purposes,
- the tournament selection committee always finds a way to screw Michigan since the back-to-back Yost regionals.
This last reason may be mad ravings, but the others are solid. Of course, given the way Michigan's game against Wisconsin went at the Showcase a first-round matchup with UW might not be the worst thing in the world.
Both CC and NoDak have two more regular season games before the WCHA playoffs; you want them to lose against Denver and Saint Cloud, respectively. Splits would be enough to temporarily send Michigan to #1.
As for the rest of the comparisons, Michigan's meh final two weeks hasn't lost them any ground but it hasn't guaranteed them anything, either. They have secured comparisons against State and Denver, but CC and NoDak are now neck and neck with M. UNH and Miami could conceivably pass Michigan if M flops in the playoffs. My ballpark estimate of what will happen:
- Fail to get to the Joe: Unless another of the top five implodes in similar fashion, M falls into the #5 slot and becomes the top two seed. Since Michigan will be playing at best the #8 team in the league, this is unlikely.
- Get to the Joe and go 0-2. See above. Winning those two games against a weak, non-TUC CCHA team isn't going to help them much.
- 1-1 at the Joe. Could be the #5 if the rest of the top five wins out (at least, as much as possible in the UND/CC cases), but probably the #3 or #4 seed; very probably going to be in Madison.
- Win CCHA Playoff top two seed, autobid foe in the first round.
There's plenty left to play for. One relief: there's no goddamn way we end up in a regional with North Dakota and Minnesota.
Elsewhere: Yost Built on the weekend. The Saturday game at Ferris wasn't televised, so I can't say anything. On Friday I don't think Ferris had more than one or two even strength scoring chances the whole game, but the penalty kill gave up three goals. Hill, the referee, was fine through a period, then started calling all manner of weird stuff including an interference call on Michigan after someone hit a guy who either still had the puck or had released it a split second before. Woo refs.
The Pairwise went crazy. There are ten teams in the WCHA. If the season ended today, eight of them would be in the tournament. Since these teams will continue to beat each other up in the final two weeks of the season and three of them must lose first-round playoff series, one or two will probably drop out. But at this point it would be a huge upset if only half the conference made the tournament. Which is, of course, insane.
Yost Built covered this in-depth. The WCHA's impressive nonconference winning percentage is largely built many games against the weaker conferences. Head-to-head against HE and the CCHA it's different:
Still, the top eight are 14-11-4 against the CCHA and Hockey East (and the top 4 are 8-7-2). That doesn't paint the picture of WCHA dominance that people would have you otherwise believe.
College hockey's system has always been strictly numerical and that's been both blessing and curse. The "curse" bit: rampant over-rating of a scanty few nonconference games. Most of the difference in a team's SOS comes from the wins and losses its opponents rack up in the six or eight nonconference games they play, and many of these are against the Bemjidi States and Wayne States and RITs and Alabama Huntsvilles of the world.
The WCHA is a fine conference, undoubtedly the best in college hockey. What the SEC believes it is to college football, the WCHA actually is to college hockey. But a couple of nonconference games here and there shouldn't be enough to override a season's worth of play in conference. Is the difference between the CCHA and WCHA so severe that we should prefer a WCHA team 5 or 6 games under .500 in conference over a CCHA team that's 6 games over .500? That's the situaton we have at the moment.
If a 12-14-6 Minnesota-Duluth or a 13-13-9 Minnesota gets in over 22-12-4 Notre Dame it'll be a terrible injustice. Though ND has struggled from time to time this year, they still sit 12th in RPI. What's holding them back is the Pairwise's stupid decision to count games against the top 25 double and ND's poor record against these foes. ND's nonconference schedule is tourney-worthy -- 7-3 with a split against Denver and a sweep of tourney bubble team Princeton -- and they aren't, like, eighth in their frickin' conference. The NCAA should declare by fiat that any team in the bottom half of its own league doesn't deserve a bid, and they should do it tomorrow.
So did the basketball coach. After Michigan's loss to Northwestern, John Beilein lost all his hair and about twenty pounds, then went bats in video you've already seen sixteen times:
Mmm, that's good crazy.
Tommy Amaker what? Some things are constant with Tommy Amaker, like his team sucking and causing Michigan to lose. Other things... what?
...[Harvard's] group of six recruits expected to join the team next season is rated among the nation's 25 best. This is partly because Harvard Coach Tommy Amaker, who starred at Duke and coached in the Big East and Big Ten conferences, has set his sights on top-flight recruits. It is also because Harvard is willing to consider players with a lower academic standing than previous staff members said they were allowed to. Harvard has also adopted aggressive recruiting tactics that skirt or, in some cases, may even violate National Collegiate Athletic Association rules.
(I have no idea who or what rated the Harvard class amongst the top 25 in anything; it's definitely not Scout or Rivals.) Oh, sure now he starts skirting NCAA rules to haul in good recruiting classes.
Northwestern Penn State what? Bleargh! After limping through an ugly win over Illinois, Michigan was on a four-of-five roll and faced two games against perennial doormats Northwestern and Penn State. Of course, they lost these games. UMHoops highlights the downfall in both games:
Another player posts his career high against Michigan. It's been a problem all year, whether it is Rice, Leuer, Grant,Coble, Moore, McKenzie or Battle they all do it the same way: rain three pointers on the Michigan defense. You don't win games in the BigTen when you allow your opponents to shoot 55% from deep in a game (box score).
No, you don't. Dylan continues, asserting that a 15-0 run on five straight threes is reminiscent of the team when it was run by a certain turtlenecked, fade-sporting Duke alum. Indeed, it is, and that might indicate the problems Amaker left the Michigan program still plague it and will until Beilein gets a different sort of player in. When I looked at Beilein's 1-3-1 zone I noted that said zone was not terrible against the three:
The traditional way to beat a zone -- rain threes on it -- appears less effective against the 1-3-1 than most. West Virginia was seventh(!) in 3FG defense this year at 30.3%, and opponents didn't get off an inordinate number of them: 33.7% of opponent shots, good for a middle-of-the-pack 151st. This isn't nearly as consistent as the turnovers, thoug(h. Last year's Sweet 16 outfit was still above average at 34%, but the two years before that were ugly. However, in no year did teams get off an inordinate number of threes. WVU has hovered around the national average.
This year, Michigan opponents are making it rain: Michigan is 312th (of 341) in opponent 3PT% and 217th -- well below average -- in the percentage of three-pointers opponents launch. Opponents are also making 49.4 percent of their two pointers and getting a ton of offensive rebounds; the resulting defensive efficiency (106.7 points per 100 possesssions) is an unstirring 280th. They aren't forcing the rampant turnovers Beilein's teams usually do, and thus the defense is dead.
The offense: 49th in three point shots, 301st in making them. End of story.
Baseball tied the Mets, then sucked. Michigan tied a professional team 4-4 and led in the ninth before a two-run homer. For some reason, an attempted Kevin Cislo bunt (in the fourth inning!) enraged Mets closer Billy Wagner:
If he got that bunt down, I would have drilled the next guy. Play to win against Villanova.
Uh... what kind of weird bunting bushido lesson did I and the rest of the free world miss? If anyone needs further evidence this Wagner guy is mental: Jim Rome enthusiastically agreed with him. QED.
Michigan, coming off a season-opening three game sweep of Villanova, proceeded to go 1-3 in the next four, getting smoked by #1 Arizona State twice and losing in extra innings to Portland. There was a win against Hawaii in there somewhere.

Offense generates next to nothing
But the Ravens were reminded during Sunday's loss that they need some offense to win games.
Originally Published: November 28, 2004By Michael Smith | ESPN.com
FOXBORO, Mass. -- Defense still wins championships. But a championship-caliber defense alone couldn't come into Gillette Stadium on Sunday and beat the world champion Patriots.
Baltimore's defensive players should all be suffering from figurative back pain following their 24-3 loss. Once again, they were asked to carry the one-dimensional Ravens by themselves. In the second half, the burden got a bit too heavy. They buckled.
"Clearly," Ravens coach Brian Billick said afterward, "we ...

Sebastian River linebacker makes college rounds
It's going to be a busy few weeks for Sebastian River High School outside linebacker James Clark.
With National Signing Day coming up Feb. 6, Clark is trying to work in as many of his official visits before making any decision.
Clark took his first visit to Kentucky this past weekend and is trying to work out a visit to Memphis this weekend. He said the University of South Florida is the front-runner right now, but he still needs to take an official visit there as well, another possibility this weekend, and he would also like to visit West Virginia.
"South Florida is the main one right now," Clark said. "I like the school. It's not too far from home, which really isn't that big of a deal, but I still have to go see it more and look at a couple other schools.
"I liked Kentucky a lot. It's a new program with new coaches, but I got a good feeling about what they are doing there."
Former Sharks coach Randy Bethel said coaches continue to make their rounds to the school. Cincinnati is expected to visit Clark on Wednesday.
Clark was a first-team All-Area player the last two years and was a Class 6A third-team all-state selection this season after finishing with 52 tackles, 25 tackles for loss and 12 sacks.
"(Coaches) are wining and dining him, so to speak, and he's enjoying it," Bethel said. "He's worked hard and he's earned it. He had the opportunity to go to a Kentucky basketball game, and that's exciting. I think he enjoyed it quite a bit."
Vero Beach offensive lineman Chris Flaig remains a soft verbal commitment to Florida International University but opened up his recruitment when the school fired Mario Cristóbal last month.
He took a visit to Florida Atlantic over the weekend and liked what he saw but is giving new Panthers coach Ron Turner an opportunity to persuade him that he should stay with FIU this weekend during an official visit. Turner and offensive line coach Luke Butkus called Flaig as he was leaving FAU to invite him for a visit.
"I'm just trying to figure things out," Flaig said. "It's very confusing right now, but with signing day coming up (on Feb. 6), I have to make a decision soon. I liked FAU and enjoyed my visit there, but I want to see if I like the new staff at FIU. I have to see if they are the type of coaches I want to be around the next four years."
Flaig said he is not limiting his options to FAU or FIU at this point and is open to other schools as well.
St. Lucie West Centennial defensive tackle Jay-nard Bostwick, who punished Vero Beach and Sebastian River linemen the last four years, long has been considered the area's top recruit, and national champion Alabama wants him bad.
Bostwick and Eagles coach Ron Parker were invited to attend one of the Crimson Tide's practices in Miami before the BCS National Championship Game. Parker said no other recruits were at the practice.
Bostwick took an official visit to Alabama this past weekend.
Sebastian River offensive lineman Phillip Norman plans to visit Florida A&M this weekend and athlete Nate Pryor will visit Bethune-Cookman, according to Bethel. Shelvick Henry also has offers but is focusing his time on basketball right now, Bethel said.
Vero Beach lineman Connor Moore visited Princeton over the weekend and already took visits to Colgate (Dec. 9) and University of Pennsylvania (Jan. 4). All three schools remain in his Top 5, along with Georgetown and Davidson, which he might also visit.
"I've gotten a great feeling from all those places," Moore said. "They are all great football programs, great schools. It's going to be very tough to make a decision because I could be at home at any of those places."
