The 1987 Green Wave scored more points than any other team in Tulane team in the first 100 years of the program. Marc Zeno closed his career as the NCAA's career leader with 3,725 receiving yards.
1980 (7-5)
Head Coach: Vince Gibson
New head coach Vince Gibson led Tulane to a 7-4 regular season record and an invitation to the Hall of Fame Bowl, marking the first time the Green Wave participated in postseason play in consecutive seasons.
Senior quarterback Nickie Hall, who had spent three seasons in the shadow of the great Roch Hontas, finally got his chance and delivered, tying Hontas' single-season TD pass mark of 21 while passing and running for a school-record 174 points. Against SMU, Hall set a total offense record with 384 yards, including an 84-yard pass to Marcus Anderson, then the longest in school history. Against Rice, Hall threw five TD passes and Robert Griffin caught four of them.
Defensively, linebackers Frank Robinson, Marty Wetzel and middle guard Wilfred Simon all had more than 100 tackles for the second consecutive season. Cornerback Lionel Washington, who went on to a fine NFL career with the Raiders, led the team with five interceptions.
The 1980 season was not short on exciting finishes, as kicker Vince Manalla kicked field goals to beat Ole Miss and Kentucky with no time remaining. After a 2-3 start, Tulane won five in a row to clinch the bowl bid. Win No. 5 was a special one, as Hall ran for two TDs and passed for another to lead Tulane to its first win over Georgia Tech in Atlanta since 1933.

1981 (6-5)
Head Coach: Vince Gibson
With the graduation of Nickie Hall, it took a while to fill in the hole. When coach Vince Gibson finally found his man, junior college transfer Mike McKay, the team went from mediocre to excellent in a hurry. The Green Wave sputtered to an 0-4 start, but McKay came on late in game four and flashed the form that helped turn things around.
With McKay under center, the Wave won six of its last seven games. In eight games, McKay completed 78-of-124 passes for 927 yards with three interceptions and 10 TDs. Running back Marvin Lewis had a big year, rushing for 860 yards and nine TDs. Tight end Rodney Holman ended his career as the Green Wave's all-time leader with 135 catches.
The strength of the 1981 team was on defense, as the Green Wave allowed fewer points (144) than any Tulane team since college football went to an 11-game schedule in 1970. Defensive lineman Brian Douglas had 23 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, and linebackers Darryl Tipton, Ricky Goff, Jeff Roberts and Sly McGrew all had at least 100 tackles.
Four of the five losses were by nine points or less, including a 13-5 decision to '81 national champion Clemson. In the finale, Tulane crushed LSU, 48-7, to record its second win over the Tigers in three years.

1982 (4-7)
Head Coach: Vince Gibson
Vince Gibson's last Tulane squad was the only one to finish with a losing record, but the 1982 team ended its season in style with a win over Orange Bowl-bound LSU in Tiger Stadium. With the rain pouring down and time running out, Mike McKay tossed a fourth-down, 31-yard TD pass to fullback Reggie Reginelli for the game-winner in a come-from-behind 31-28 victory. It was the third and final lead change of the day and marked Tulane's third win over LSU in four seasons.
McKay threw for 1,903 yards and finished as Tulane's career leader in completion percentage. His prime target was Robert Griffin, who had a then-record 56 catches. Tony Wood had a strong season kicking, booting 52- and 53-yard field goals and going perfect on 22 extra points.

1983 (2-9)
Head Coach: Wally English
Wally English began a controversial two-year reign as Tulane's head coach in 1983. The day before the season opener with Mississippi State, Jon English, Wally's son, filed suit against the NCAA and Tulane, alleging that he was unjustly being deprived of a final season of eligibility. He received a temporary restraining order that allowed him to play while the case worked its way through the courts, and played in six games before his attorneys ran out of legal maneuvers and he was declared ineligible. The two games that Tulane won during that time were forfeited to Ole Miss and Florida State, and the Green Wave wound up 2-9.
Future NFL performers like Bubby Brister, Don Maggs, Ron Tilton and Burnell Dent dotted the roster. Brister left the team after being replaced by Jon English midway through the first two games. Dent set a TU record for tackles in a season with 172.

1984 (3-8)
Head Coach: Wally English
Coach Wally English led the Green Wave to a 3-8 record in his final season as head coach. Notre Dame transfer Ken Karcher took over the starting quarterback spot. His favorite target was sophomore tight end Larry Route, who led the squad with 46 catches. Mike Jones led the team in rushing with 573 yards, including 129 in the season finale with LSU. Linebacker Burnell Dent led the team in tackles again (139).
The Tulane-LSU game was called with less than a minute remaining when a bench-clearing brawl broke out between the teams on an extra point attempt. English's two-year tenure ended the following week when Tulane announced it would seek a new head coach.

1985 (1-10)
Head Coach: Mack Brown
Mack Brown, barely 34 at the start of the 1985 season, took over the head coaching and athletic director responsibilities and set about to rebuild the football program. The Green Wave went just 1-10 in 1985, but Brown stayed the course and slowly righted the ship.
The major positive development of Brown's first year was the signing of quarterback Terrence Jones, who went on to be one of Tulane's all-time greats. With Ken Karcher returning as the No. 1 quarterback, Jones volunteered to play tailback and led the team in rushing.
The season opened with eight straight losses before Tulane beat Southwestern Louisiana for its only win. Marc Zeno set a Tulane season records with 73 catches for 1,137 yards in 1985 and set a then-single-game mark with 208 yards against LSU. Linebacker Burnell Dent led Tulane in tackles for the third straight season with 120.

1986 (4-7)
Head Coach: Mack Brown
Coach Mack Brown's second team took some lumps, but the record improved to 4-7 as it became obvious that better days were ahead. One reason for that was the emergence of sophomore QB Terrence Jones. In the opener vs. TCU, Jones set a school record with 388 passing yards and 484 yards of total offense, and when the season was over he had thrown for 2,124 yards with just seven interceptions while completing 159-of-284 pass attempts.
Receiver Marc Zeno had a dynamite junior season, catching 68 passes for 1,033 yards while setting Tulane career marks for receptions and yards. Fullback Rodney Hunter led the squad in rushing with 657 yards, the most by a Tulane back since 1981. Defensively, linebacker Richard Harvey and defensive back Thurston Harrison each had over 100 tackles.

1987 (6-6)
Head Coach: Mack Brown
Coach Mack Brown's last Tulane team was an exciting one, scoring and giving up more points than any other squad in the first 100 years of Green Wave football. It was a competitive club that finished the regular season with a 6-5 record, with three of the losses by seven points or less. After the regular season, Tulane played in its eighth bowl game, facing Washington in the Independence Bowl in Shreveport.
Tulane's Marc Zeno set the NCAA career receiving yardage record as he ended his college career with 3,725 yards. Zeno's 77 receptions and 1,206 yards surpassed his own school marks and he earned All-America honors.
Junior quarterback Terrence Jones was on the throwing end of nearly all of Zeno's receptions that fall as he set new Green Wave records for passing yards and total offense. With a full season left, Jones was already Tulane's career total offense leader. Tailback Marvin Allen scored 11 TDs, including four against Virginia Tech on three short runs and a 76-yard bomb from Jones. Tulane triumphed 57-38 to record the most points by the Green Wave since 1950. On the season, Tulane amassed a school-record 370 points.
The Green Wave and LSU played one of the great games in the series in 1987, as the Tigers scored in the final minute to win 41-36. Just prior to the Independence Bowl, Brown announced he was leaving to become head coach at North Carolina. He coached the bowl game, which the Green Wave lost, 24-12, to Washington.

1988 (5-6)
Head Coach: Greg Davis
Greg Davis, Tulane's assistant head coach under Mack Brown, was promoted to the top spot in 1988 and led the team to a 5-6 record. The Green Wave started 3-1, but a four-game losing skid dampened chances for a winning season. Tulane bounced back with wins over Ole Miss and Mississippi State, but dropped the finale at LSU to finish a game below .500.
The 1988 season marked the end of the fabulous college career of Terrence Jones, who accumulated 9,445 yards of total offense to rank among the top 10 in NCAA history. Jones shattered nearly every career passing record during his four years on campus and led Tulane in rushing and passing in 1988.
He had a new target in converted quarterback Jerome McIntosh, who caught 52 passes for 908 yards and seven TDs. Michael Pierce also emerged as an offensive threat as he brokeTommy Mason's 28-year-old record for all-purpose yardage with 1,644. Defensively, Mitchell Price intercepted five passes, while linebacker Richard Harvey led the team in tackles for the third straight season.

1989 (4-8)
Head Coach: Greg Davis
In 1989, Coach Greg Davis and his team took on the first 12-game regular season schedule in the school's history.
Deron Smith took over at quarterback and set season records for pass attempts, completions and yards. Jerome McIntosh was the team's leading receiver for the second straight season, catching 55 passes for 899 yards. Smith and McIntosh put on a clinic in a 37-13 win at Vanderbilt, connecting 11 times for 271 yards, including a 77-yard TD pass. Smith threw for 370 yards that afternoon and McIntosh's 271 yards are the most ever by a Tulane receiver.
Fullback Chance Miller gained 99 yards in the opener at Hawaii before injuring his knee. He missed the next six games after undergoing surgery, but ran for 106 yards against Memphis in his second game back.

|Washington at Stanford
April 20th | Redwood Shores, Calif.
Setting the Scene: No.1 Huskies take on No. 7 Stanford at Redwood Shores
The Huskies have been living up the No.1 ranking they hold in the USRowing Collegiate Poll. Fresh off of sweeps the last two-consecutive weekends, including one over No. 3 ranked Brown, Washington is looking to build off the momentum they have created over the past few weeks. Washington has not raced at Redwood Shores since 2010, where they earned a sweep of the Cardinal. Stanford, meanwhile, is coming off a strong showing at the San Diego Crew Classic and has earned a post as the 7th ranked team in the country. The UW-Stanford races are features in the Pac-12 Challenge Regatta at Redwood Shores on Saturday.
UW at Stanford Tentative Schedule (April 20th, 2013)
8:50 am –MV4 (UW, Stanford)
9:10 am - MV8 (UW, Stanford)
9:40 am - M2V8 (UW, Stanford)
10:30 am - MN8 (UW, Stanford)
The UW-Stanford races are being held as part of the 2013 Pac-12 Challenge at Redwood Shores on Saturday.
Live Results
The Twitter page of the Husky Crew will also have live in-race updates: http://Twitter.com/UWHuskyCrew. A full recap of the Stanford/Washington races will be available on GoHuskies.com.
About The UW Coaching Staff
Rick Gherst handles the coaching duties for the freshmen. Gherst is in his second season on the UW coaching staff, taking over for former freshmen coach Luke McGee who left to take a position with US Rowing.
Scouting Stanford
Stanford University is a Pac-12 institution located in Palo Alto, Calif. The Cardinal is currently ranked seventh in the USRowing Collegiate Poll, and is annually one of the top teams in conference.
Stanford last competed two weeks ago at the San Diego Crew Classic on April 6th and 7th on Mission Bay. All three Cardinal shells reached the Grand Finals in their respective races, nabbing a pair of runner-up finishes with their Varsity Eight and Freshmen Eight.
Last Time Out
Last weekend the Huskies headed west and south to compete against fellow Pac-12 members Washington State and Oregon State. On Friday, the Huskies' third varsity eight, second freshmen eight, and second varsity four all rowed to victories against the Washington State men's club rowing team on the Snake River in Pullman, Wash. On Saturday, Washington's top four boats completed a Sweep over the Beavers, winning each race by open water on Dexter Lake in Lowell, Oregon.
About the Course
Redwood Shores is a lagoon first developed in the mid-1960s as part of a planned development on the site of saltwater marshes and landfill to the southeast of San Francisco. In the early 1980s, the 76-acre lagoon was rehabilitated, including a new water circulation system that helped restore water quality and attract wildlife to the area. Today, the lagoon is one of the most widely-used public waterways on the San Francisco peninsula.
About The Huskies
Washington is a program where superlatives are plentiful, but it's hard not to categorize the 2012 campaign as one of the, if not the best in school history. The Huskies captured their 15th National Championship, and it was the fashion in which they did so that was most impressive. 2012 was a year of sweeps for the Huskies, starting with the 101st running of the Cal Dual. The Huskies swept Cal, then went on to sweep all finale races in the Pac-12 and IRA Championships. Washington topped it off with their 6th straight Ten Eyk award, given to the team that scores the most overall points. It was as dominating of a season as collegiate rowing has seen in its long and storied history. Washington hasn't missed a beat thus far in 2013 and currently holds the No.1 ranking in the USRowing Collegiate Poll.
Stanford/Washington History
Both programs have staged some memorable races in previous years, although the Huskies have had the upper hand against the Cardinal of late. The Huskies have not lost to Stanford since the 2009 season, when the Cardinal defeated Washington at Redwood Shores. Since that race, the Huskies have been the dominant program, picking up a sweep at Redwood Shores in 2010, a thorough win at the 2011 Windermere Cup, and another sweep on the Montlake Cut last year.
Up Next
For the second time this season the top two teams in the nation will face off against each other on the Montlake Cut as California Bears, now ranked No.2 in the USRowing Collegiate Poll, head to Seattle to take on the No.1 Huskies in the 102nd running of the Washington-California Dual on Saturday April 27th at 10:00 a.m. The following week Washington rowing welcomes Ivy League members Dartmouth and Cornell to the Montlake Cut On May 4th for the 27th Annual Winderemere Cup presented by the University of Washington and Windermere Real Estate. The event is also sponsored by Windermere Real Estate. It will be the last race for the Huskies before the Pac-12 Championships on May 19th at Lake Natoma in Rancho Cordova, Calif.

The overwhelming takeaway from today's Washington Post article about the results of the first common lottery held in the nation's capital is that there are an insufficient number of high quality seats in D.C.'s public schools. The piece includes these sobering statistics. At Two Rivers Public Charter School there were 60 openings and 2,500 students applied. At KIPP DC 6,540 kids applied for 1,100 spots. 1,947 students applied for 304 seats at AppleTree Early Learning PCS. AppleTree Institute president and CEO Jack McCarthy, who I recently interviewed, commented that "the real tragedy here is that we've got to have lotteries because there's a shortage of good schools."
A tragedy it is. This morning I counted the number of Public Charter School Board Performance Management Framework Tier 1 spots. These are seats at schools most likely to be closing the academic achievement gap. The total is an astonishing 8,035. That's out of 36,565 students currently attending charters and another 46,393 who are enrolled in DCPS. This means that out of the current 82,958 kids going to public school here 9.7 percent are attending the best educational institutions.
So after 18 years of school reform the question needs to be asked, just what do we think are we doing? We are nowhere. For all the excruciating difficult work, money, political fights, and lobbying we are helping an incredibly small proportion of our children. As more young families enter our city the problem is going to get worse.
This is an emergency that calls for drastic action. We better all come together and figure out what to do next. The current strategy is clearly not bringing the intended results.

The twelfth annual Arts for the Turtles fundraising event to benefit the Nuevo Vallarta Turtle Preserve has been announced, and will take place on Thursday, February 27, 11 am - 2:30 pm. Admission is free.
Since 2004 a group of artists and their friends have organized an annual fundraiser known as Arts for the Turtles. Proceeds from the event support the work of the Nuevo Vallarta Turtle Preserve, which is dedicated to saving the sea turtles of Banderas Bay. Hosted by Bahia del Sol and Ocean Terrace, the Preserve is the largest in the state of Nayarit.
In past years, money raised has provided salaries for the Preserve's resident marine biologists and student interns, construction of incubation corrals and information centers, and the development and dissemination of educational materials throughout Nayarit. In 2009, Arts for the Turtles sponsored a University of California research project on the impact of tourism on the nesting habitat of the sea turtles that nest on Nuevo Vallarta's beaches. A special booth will feature this research along with information on the Olive Ridley and Leatherback sea turtles on the shores of Banderas Bay.
This years Arts for the Turtles will be offering original paintings, cards, jewelry, textile arts, metal art and T-shirts featuring the Turtle Preserve. An early sell-out is the table selling home made goodies from Bahia del Sol's gourmet bakers. The day will also include a flea market and silent auction. A raffled quilt by Karen is always a part of the event and this year an additional feature is a live auction of donations from turtle lovers from Banderas Bay communities.
For more information, contact Ann Carlos at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call 322-297-0527 #503.

Conservative author/activist Dinesh D'Souza makes a compelling case for American exceptionalism in the documentary based on his bestselling book out last month, named after the adopted country he clearly loves. "America" is D'Souza's successor to his 2012 film "2016: Obama's America," the second most successful political documentary in movie history.
In "America," D'Souza's main thesis involves disputing a multi-pronged liberal narrative demonizing America and naming the victims of this "conquest," a narrative he systematically proves false.
The film's opening and closing credits provide some of the most effective and evocative patriotic imagery. It begins with signature American tropes ranging from ordinary (the diner) to extraordinary (the moon landing) and ends with a stirring rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner," performed by conservative rock band Madison Rising. "America" is also bookended powerfully by gorgeous panoramas of such national monuments as Mt. Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty, and the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials in Washington, D.C.
Arguably though what hits home the most is how "America's" story is told through its real footage of everyday Americans. There's her soldiers going to war, families taking root in the suburbs; and the film's political and cultural clips, featuring historical figures from Richard Nixon, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ronald Reagan up to the modern day Clintons, Barack "You didn't build that" Obama, Rand Paul and innovators Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
Contrasting the visuals of street protests, from the grave Civil Rights movement to the poseur of Occupy Wall Street illustrates a powerful foil: the former being a genuinely justified and courageous quest for equality; the latter, a misguided attack of the capitalist system that superstar and humanitarian Bono correctly credits as more effective than aid in bringing millions out of poverty. The film examines how liberal ideology touts government assistance while conservatism encourages individual freedom and responsibility. Calls to mind what a friend described as the difference between the two: the conservative mindset is to free people up to make their own pursuits. Liberalism is about doing everything for them, which is nowhere nearly as realistic or gratifying.
Particularly striking about the stock footage as well as documentarian interviews is some differences illuminated between not only liberal and conservative ideas, but people. "America" features how conservatives, especially Christians, are by on large much more generous in their charitable giving than secular liberals.
D'Souza speaks with or features several left-wing, anti-American figures like Ward Churchill, Michael Eric Dyson and (via historical footage) "Rules for Radicals" author Saul Alinsky. All of them, Alinsky most aggressively, come off as distinctly unhappy people. It's at the same time understandable yet baffling. Of course they would be miserable, living in a country they hate yet refuse to leave.
This is a stark contrast from the enthusiasm and optimism "America" exhibits in conservatives such as Ted Cruz and Star Parker, who give historical as well as personal examples of American greatness. Particularly inspiring is Parker, who D'Souza describes as a quintessential American. She went from receiving and feeling entitled to welfare to being convinced she could do better for herself and others, and did. Parker is now a syndicated columnist and starter of her own foundation, the Center for Urban Renewal and Education. As part of her come to Jesus conversion, Parker laments how the majority of her fellow Americans in the black community "chose race over Christ" in voting for Barack Obama, especially given his extreme pro-abortion stance.
Some of the most amusing aspects of the film is in D'Souza's highlighting the shallow hypocrisy of liberal celebrities constantly trashing the country and capitalist system that made them famous, multi-millionaires. "America" shows vapid Hollywood pretty boys like Matt Damon and Woody Harrelson paying reverent obeisance to famously left-wing, anti-American historian Howard Zinn, whose "A People's History of the United States" gives a scathing condemnation of America yet, as other historians prove, is loaded with spurious half-truths. D'Souza laments how "People's History" is required reading in scores of high schools and universities; and how the nation's youth are being taught to hate America based on a false narrative.
Unintentionally funny is how, as in speaking to Zinn about the evils of America, Harrelson never so closely resembled the empty-headed simpleton he portrayed for comic relief on "Cheers." Though at least Woody the bartender had none of Woody the actor's self-important pretense. Intentionally, and successfully funny, is how D'Souza poses the rhetorical question of whether Damon's skill set really warrants his making millions of dollars for six weeks of filming. The answer being a somewhat bewildering but solidly market-driven yes, if the consumer determines he's worth the price of the movie ticket. This is the system of commerce signature of that which Damon so persistently criticizes. This disconnect is reminiscent of the point conservative author and pundit Ann Coulter makes in her 2003 bestseller "Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism:" most liberal celebrities "wouldn't consider working for two months for less than a million dollars." Yet they consider it brave and en vogue to pile aspersions on the country that made them rich and famous.
Creatively, the film's weakness is its historical re-enactments, which come across as amateurish, sometimes stilted. You'd see more realistic portrayals on the History Channel. It does support the unfortunate but true case that conservatives have ceded the culture to liberals. Overwhelmingly, liberals dominate entertainment. Their ideology ranges from wrong-headed to just plain evil, but they've learned the craft of storytelling and, over the last half-century, have used this as one of their most tremendously effective weapons in the culture war. Liberalism permeates the culture. Some conservatives may not want to admit it because they don't want it to be true, or they underestimate the power and influence of culture. Some liberals won't admit it because they claim they don't like labels, or to throw us off their scent; but pervasive liberal bias is undeniable. Questioning the presence of liberalism in the culture is like the joke where the fish is saying, "Water, what water?" This is something that conservatives need to catch up to, as evidenced in this aspect of the filmmaking.
Granted, there is the adage that, unlike liberals, conservatives prefer substance over style. And Americans who love America, love "America." It got a rare CinamaScore rating of "A+," and a 92 percent among audience members. The theatre where I saw it was packed; patrons applauded appreciatively, a reminder that 60 percent of the country defines themselves as conservative.
Perhaps D'Souza's most compelling case for embracing America is in his status as an immigrant. He correctly reiterates the truth of America as a nation of immigrants. And in the subtitle of the film, he asks what the world would be like without her. That hypothetical alternate reality is not something he delves into nearly enough; but perhaps that's a topic for his next film.

College Hockey:Schilkey score lifts Ohio State to tie with Minnesota
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Saturday marked Ohio State's senior night, but it was a freshman that carried the Buckeyes.
Scoring the game-tying goal with 3:50 remaining in the third period, OSU forward Nick Schilkey notched the shootout winner as OSU and No. 1-ranked Minnesota skated to a 2-2 tie, with the Buckeyes taking the shootout 1-0.
The shootout loss prevented the Golden Gophers from taking the first ever Big Ten regular season title.
Big Ten leading scorer Ryan Dzingel had a goal and assist in Saturday's tie.
"We knew it was going to be a battle," Dzingel said. "These four (seniors) mean so much to our program. Obviously we want to send them off with a huge weekend, and I think we definitely did that tonight."
Though it was the first time in five contests Minnesota allowed more than two goals, Minnesota coach Don Lucia credited the job goalie Adam Wilcox did stopping 41-of-43 shots.
"He made a couple huge saves, we made a couple gigantic mistakes," Lucia said. "That is Adam; he covers up the mistakes we made. A win and a tie, that is a good weekend here."
For the second straight night, Minnesota had an early 1-0 lead as Kyle Rau scored his 10th of the season. He cleaned up a rebound from a shot from the point by Gophers defender Mike Reilly.
Reilly, a draftee of the Blue Jackets whose arena is two miles from Ohio State's campus, had four assists in the two-game series.
Unlike Friday, Ohio State played well after giving up the goal. Minnesota outshot Ohio State by a margin of two through the first two periods. Just as important for Ohio State, the Buckeyes kept Minnesota from scoring another power-play goal.
"You get scored on right away again; for our guys to understand and buy in not only with our penalty kill but our power play came through with a big goal," Rohlik said. "We can talk about special teams all day because that is the difference."
The Gophers nearly made it a 2-0 game with 4:39 left in the second. Minnesota's Gabe Guertler interfered with OSU goalie Christian Frey as Tom Serratore put the puck into the net. After initially being ruled a goal, the officials waved the score off to the delight of the 6,161 fans at Value City Arena.
Ohio State rallied from a 1-0 second intermission deficit to force overtime and outshoot Minnesota 15-3 for the third frame.
"That was one of our best periods of the year when you can outshoot a team 15-3 and get quality chances," Rohlik said. "I thought we kept getting better jump, better jump. We were finding energy everywhere. It is a credit to these guys."
Ohio State got on the score sheet 2:31 into the third when Ryan Dzingel took advantage of a Reilly boarding penalty and lifted a wrister past Adam Wilcox.
The tied contest lasted 24 seconds. Ben Marshall scored after firing a shot off the skate of Buckeyes defender Josh Healey that slipped past the stick of Frey to give Minnesota a 2-1 edge.
The Buckeyes found an answer. Schilkey cleaned up a loose puck as Dzingel got pushed into Wilcox and fired the puck into the net with 3:50 left to knot the game at two.
In overtime, Dzingel had a pair of breakaways that Wilcox turned away to preserve the tie.
"As the game went on, they had, especially in the third period, we looked a little bit tired; it might have been some of the specialty teams and guys got a little too much ice time," said Lucia.

New Malt Liquor Targets African-American Youth
|The Coalition to
Recall "Phat Boy" Malt Liquor has petitioned the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to challenge
the marketing of the product to underage consumers. The Coalition of which CSPI is
a part also wants BATF to determine whether the products promotion of its
"natural" ginseng ingredient violates federal labeling regulations. The
"Phat Boy" product features African colors and hip-hop-style letters, clearly
targeting young, urban, African-American males. (For those who dont know,
"phat" is slang for "cool" or "hip," and ginseng is a
reputed aphrodisiac.) The Coalition effort builds on community activism against the
product by Reverend Paul Scott in Durham, NC.

It takes a village to raise children who are ready to tackle kindergarten. Success by Six's Amy Neal, parent Patsy Carter, Caywood Family Resource Coordinator Leah Langdon and Principal Kelly Conner are on the job.
EDGEWOOD, Ky. – When Patsy Carter heard about a program at Caywood Elementary that could help her prepare her four-year-old daughter for kindergarten, she and her husband resolved to go just once.
But after the Erlanger couple and their children sat down to a community dinner followed by separate sessions for parents and kids, they were hooked.
"We were just going to come for the first night, but the kids made sure we came back a second time," she said. "It's nice. You don't feel alone, like you're the only one going through whatever challenges a preschooler with too much energy brings."
Carter, an Erlanger resident with two daughters, 10 and 4, ended up completing the six-part program that has helped give her and her husband big and small tips on ways to convert everyday interaction into learning opportunities.
The program is called Bornlearning, which was created by Northern Kentucky University, United Way, and a workshop model developed by Tim Hanner, retired Kenton County school superintendent, to help parents of pre-kindergarten children engage them in educational and healthy ways.
An ever-growing avalanche of research indicates that kids have a much smoother path to academic and career success if they start kindergarten with essentials like getting along with other kids, knowing their colors and being familiar with the alphabet.
"For Northern Kentucky, Bornlearning is one of our key kindergarten-ready strategies," said Amy Neal, Northern Kentucky Success by Six manager.
The program has been so successful that Gov. Steve Beshear has dedicated another $1.4 million to expanding it into 150 more schools over the next four years.
The approach is a simple one.
WCPO Insiders can read how the program works and what's next.

EDGEWOOD, Ky. – When Patsy Carter heard about a program at Caywood Elementary that could help her prepare her four-year-old daughter for kindergarten, she and her husband resolved to go just once.
Carter, an Erlanger resident with two daughters, 10 and 4, ended up completing the six-part program that has helped give her and her husband big and small tips on ways to convert everyday interaction into learning opportunities.
The program has been so successful that Gov. Steve Beshear has dedicated another $1.4 million to expanding it into 150 more schools over the next four years.
The straightforward idea behind the program is to invite parents of pre-kindergarten children to participate in six, two-hour evening programs. The first portion of each night is a family dinner, where parents, children, educators and volunteers mix and eat.
Gathering around the dinner table to talk and socialize is a model for learning in itself, a ritual for childhood development that is often lost in the hectic nature of contemporary life.
After dinner, parents participate in an hour-long program led by educators during which they learn about ways to incorporate learning into everyday life, like setting aside reading time every day.
At the same time, children have their own programming, engaging in taekwondo one night, clay work another and dance another.
"We don't want it to be just babysitting. We want them to be engaged," said Leah Langdon, Caywood's Family Resource coordinator.
Finally, children and caregivers reunite for 30 minutes to give parents a chance to apply what they learned and for all the participants to socialize.
Organizers have a larger goal in mind – building community, engaging parents with children families with other families and businesses with schools.
"It's not supposed to be a lecture. It's supposed to be interactive," Neal said. Parents swap advice.
Carter and her family love to cook, so she passed along cooking and meal-planning tips to other families. Other parents taught her strategies for occupying her children on long car rides, like playing license plate games, expanding on old versions to include things like making words out of the letters on a given plate or adding up the numbers.
"It was a welcoming environment with everybody. The door prizes were fun, and there was a good level of moving around for the kids without getting too crazy," Carter said.
Caywood enlisted the help of multiple businesses and agencies, like Joseph Beth Booksellers in Crescent Springs, which donated a turkey dinner.
"I saw the families that were there. I saw how excited the kids were," said Cori Smith, assistant general manager at Joseph Beth. "I was very impressed with the atmosphere and the spirit of everyone who was there. It was really nice to see."
Smith said Joseph Beth is eagerly anticipating participating again in the coming school year.
Campbell County YMCA, which helped Ryland Elementary develop its Bornlearning curriculum, helped Caywood find other partners, who readily helped, including Cincinnati Zoo, Cincinnati Ballet, Five Seasons health club, and Garzelli's Grinder & Pizza.
"They donated some really neat little prizes for the families," said Ann Stahl, Campbell County YMCA's grant administrator. "And it was fun because the kids were there. We were able to give out zoo passes. Toys R Us donated diapers."
Caywood has about 720 students enrolled in its preschool through 5th grade classes. Thirteen families completed the Bornlearning course in the initial year, a number that made Principal Kelly Conner very happy.
"I would like to see 20 families here on a consistent basis next year," she said. "Even if they only come a few times, I still see that as giving them a chance to become more familiar with the staff and school," which can only help with their children's education.
The program is open to all families. This year, one family from a parochial school and one mom with an infant joined Caywood families.
The new $1.4 million investment, funded by Kentucky's Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge Federal grant, builds on Toyota manufacturing's $1 million in seed money that has been pledged through 2016.
Toyota hopes to expand the model nationwide. It has already supported a five-year statewide expansion of academies beginning in 2012, having launched 21 Bornlearning academies with plans to fund 70 more.
"We have learned that workers prepared for college and career start out as children prepared for kindergarten. And that starts with parents," said Helen Carroll, manager of community relations at Toyota. "That's why we are focusing our investments getting kids ready for school through parent education and engagement."

Regional accreditation is the primary type of institutional accreditation in the United States. Some institutions with online programs hold national accreditation rather than regional accreditation because they are unwilling or unable to meet the rigorous standards of regional accreditation. Many educational institutions holding regional accreditation do not recognize credits or degrees earned at institutions that are nationally accredited. This is an important distinction if you plan on transferring credits from one college or university to another during your degree program, or if you plan to pursue advanced degrees at other colleges or universities.
Adventist University of Health Sciences is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) to award Certificates, Associate, Baccalaureate, and Master's degrees.

Persbericht over de Mekorot-Vitens kwestie
Ambassadeur Divon heeft een brief geschreven over de Mekorot-Vitens kwestie. De brief als persbericht verspreid. De brief (Engels):
Mekorot-Vitens – What went wrong under the magnifying glass?
Over the last few days we have seen many reports about the cancellation of a cooperation agreement between Dutch water company Vitens and Israeli water company Mekorot.
In the frenzy of taking decisions based on pressure by parties with a very clear agenda, basic facts were missing or ignored.
What is the reality when it comes to Israel's national water company, Mekorot? Mekorot is one of the world's most technologically advanced water companies, a world leader in desalination, water reclamation, water project engineering, water safety and water quality. Mekorot is a well appreciated partner in the region and in the world. Therefore, the decision by Vitens to cancel its agreement with Mekorot was contrary to any logic.
Here are some facts which testify to the absurdity of the decision which was taken - Mekorot supplies water to the Palestinian Authority, as well as the settlements, according to the water agreement in the interim agreement signed in 1995 between Israel and the Palestinians. In the past few years, Israel has transferred 52-53 MCM of water per year to the Palestinians, including about 5 MCM to Gaza. In total the quantities
over 22 MCM more water than it is obliged
to transfer according to the agreement. Recently, Israel has increased the quantity of water transferred to the Palestinians by a further 4 MCM within the framework of the Blair-Kerry plan and the resumption of the peace process. Mekorot is not only involved in supplying water to the Palestinians, over the last three years Mekorot has provided training courses to Palestinians and Jordanians within the regional organization MEDRC. The last such course that it provided was actually funded by the Dutch Foreign Ministry, with the Dutch Ambassador attending the course opening ceremony as a guest of honor. Throughout the years since the water agreement was signed, the cooperation according to it has always been upheld, even during difficult times such as the years of Intifada and Palestinian violence. Israel has always insured that the supply of water and the cooperation in this field is separated from the political issues and the conflict. Mekorot is also a key participant in the, by the World Bank supported, Red Sea - Dead Sea project, that has just recently been signed by Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian authority, to the benefit of all sides. So, while Mekorot is welcomed as an important partner by the Palestinians, the Jordanians, MEDRC, the World Bank and many other international companies, this is not the case with Vitens. Vitens' spokesperson was quoted in saying that the pressure regarding the agreement with Mekorot caused them to look at the company with a magnifying glass, this magnifying glass was obviously rather blurry.
These are facts that the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) supporters will not put forth while pushing for boycotting an Israeli company, they don't want people to be confused with the facts, it may interfere with their mission. Their mission unfortunately has nothing to do with encouraging cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians, and everything to do with undermining such cooperation.
Such was the unfortunate case of the cancelling of a planned involvement of the Dutch company Royal Haskoning in the Kidron project, a wastewater treatment plan in east Jerusalem, intended for the promotion of health and sanitation of the Palestinian residents. The cancellation did nothing to promote any noble cause; on the contrary, it was a statement that the Palestinians' well-being is not important enough. Otherwise, if one has the Palestinians' interests at heart, one should push for this and many other such projects to materialize, the sooner the better.
These companies were provided with ill advice, which expresses a biased, unbalanced and even hostile approach towards Israel. The message of such advice and decisions is that of undermining regional cooperation and measures that will assist in leading to further cooperation between Israel and the Palestinians.
On a positive note, the recent and very successful visit of Prime Minister Rutte and the two government ministers to Israel, contrary to the media portrayal of the visit, has proven that Israel and the Netherlands continue to share many mutual interests, and that there is a will on both sides to further deepen and expand the relations which have always been very close and warm. We are confident that this is the direction that the relations will take.

Thing's aren't looking good for "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" couple Joe and Teresa Giudice. For an OK! Magazine article posted on Wednesday, March 5, two lawyers not affiliated with the case explained what the future holds for Joe and Teresa.
Trial attorney Wendy L. Patrick first explained why the two entered guilty pleas.
"In general, people often enter guilty pleas in order to avoid a potentially higher sentence if they were to be convicted at trial," she explained.
According to New York City trial attorney Richard Roth, the two are definitely going to prison, it's just a matter for how long. Teresa faces 21 to 27 months and Joe faces 37 to 46 months behind bars.
"They are going to jail. No alternative," he said.
He also said that while they are likely to surrender to the authorities right away when they get sentenced in July, the court may grant them extra time to spend with their children before being locked up.
Richard also said that the two reality TV stars could end up serving time at the same facility.
"That depends on what the documents submitted to the Court say. Presumably, they will press for jails in the same location," he explained.
Teresa is thankful for all of her fans who have shown her support through this difficult time.
"Thank you all for your love & support of my family & my kids. You know how much they mean to me. I am keeping them protected & private.xx," she tweeted on Thursday, March 6.
Her "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" co-star Dina Manzo and former co-star Jacqueline Laurita have also shown their support for the embattled star.

Rachel Maddow poses the question in an editorial in the Washington Post this morning, how does 'big oil' stand on US Russian foreign policy, are they with us or against us? Take away the Russian circumstances and ask the same question. One answer that you might get is that "big oil" is for "big oil." It isn't necessarily for what is best for humanity. Carbon pollution is threatening the planet, and big oil would have us believe that fossil fuels are the best way ahead. Yet, there are some obvious reasons why that is untrue. The supply is running on empty, and consumption is not sustainable. Fossil fuel consumption has spoiled the planet's air and water, putting humanity at risk and the environment and ecology at a tipping point. Solar power and combinations of other renewable sources are the best way forward. Investment in things such as clean coal technology may buy time, but they also divert scarce investment capital from renewable development. Capitalists, akin to "big oil" are for profit making and not social and environmental well-being. Capitalists are not patriotic either.
"Rachel Maddow: Will U.S. energy companies disrupt Obama's Russia policy?
By Rachel Maddow, Published: April 24
Rachel Maddow hosts MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" and writes a monthly column for The Post."
Here below is a list.
1. The supply is running on empty, and consumption is not sustainable.
"Running on Empty
Why unbridled oil consumption in the Middle East could pose a threat to the region and beyond.
From the American point of view, the biggest energy revolution in recent years has been the explosion in domestic supplies of oil and gas that has catapulted the United States into the top ranks of global energy producers.
But globally, one of the most important, if less visible, energy revolutions has been the ongoing explosion in demand for oil in the Middle East, still the epicenter of oil production and exports. The region's surge in demand over the past decade, and the likelihood of further increases in its consumption over the next 20 years, raise serious concerns about Middle Eastern countries' ability to keep exporting large volumes of oil. That could upend global oil-market balances, seriously erode the finances and domestic stability of important countries in the region, and spark even more regional instability.
That's one reason that U.S. and international policymakers have been increasingly reaching out to counterparts across the Middle East, urging leaders there to shift gears before it's too late, by, for example, reducing the generous energy subsidies that encourage the rampant use of oil and oil-generated electricity.
"The more they consume, the less they're going to be able to export, and that's the main source of revenue for most of the governments," Dennis Ross, a diplomat who's worked in several presidential administrations, told Foreign Policy. "Something's got to give."
If Middle Eastern countries don't rein in their popular energy subsidies, their future economic lifelines will be threatened. If they do, they risk roiling domestic populations already energized by the Arab Spring.
Over the past decade, oil consumption in the Middle East has skyrocketed because of the region's growing populations, relatively strong economic growth and increasing need to generate more power for its own use. While China's seemingly insatiable appetite for oil grabbed all the headlines in recent years, Middle Eastern oil consumption was just behind the Middle Kingdom's.
China, with the world's second-largest economy, consumed an extra 5 million barrels of oil a day between 2002 and 2012; the entire Middle East, whose non-petroleum economy is on par with Spain, increased oil consumption by 3 million barrels a day. Europe, in contrast, shrank its oil consumption by 1 million barrels a day over the same period.
2. Fossil fuel consumption has spoiled the planet's air and water, putting humanity at risk and the environment and ecology at a tipping point.
"Earth: Have we reached an environmental tipping point?
Gaia Vince
If there's one thing I hope this column achieves, it's illustrating just how pivotal a point this is in human history. We are now living in theAnthropocene: humans are the main driver of planetary change. We're pushing global temperatures, land and water use beyond anything our species has experienced before. We're polluting the biosphere, acidifying the oceans, and reducing biodiversity. At the same time, our global population will grow from seven billion to nine billion by 2050, and all will need food, water and clean air."
3. Solar power and combinations of other renewable sources are the best way forward.
"Solar Power Plant in the Mojave Could Power 140,000 Homes
There's a new type of solar plant coming online. It's huge, cool looking, and might be able to provide power at night. Does it have a future?
The massive solar plant nearing completion in the California's Mojave desert doesn't look like the solar plants you might be used to seeing. It has no solar panels, for one thing. Instead, it has mirrors—300,000 of them—all arrayed in rings around three giant towers. The mirrors reflect sunlight onto vats of water sitting on top of the towers, heating them to 500 degrees and powering a steam turbine, providing enough energy for 140,000 homes. When it goes online at the end of the year, it will be one of the biggest solar plants in the world. But the technology at its heart is relatively simple: mirrors, water boilers, and steam turbines."
4. Investment in things such as clean coal technology may buy time, but they also divert scarce investment capital from renewable development.
"Bright outlook for renewable energy
Andrea Murad
Nuclear accidents, environmental disasters and shifting regulations around the world have stunned both investors and consumers. Catastrophes such as Japan's Fukushima nuclear power accident and the Gulf of Mexico oil spill have reignited demand for renewable energy worldwide.
As it stands, renewable energy — primarily from solar, wind or biofuels — is more expensive than traditional sources like nuclear or fossil fuels. Still, this could change as the cost of environmental cleanup from disasters adds up, implementation of carbon taxes takes hold, as countries make concerted efforts to switch to renewable and as demand for energy grows."
5. Capitalists, akin to "big oil" are for profit making and not social and environmental well-being.
"Government of Russia ( Rosneft ) and Exxon Mobil to expand cooperation with joint projects in the Gulf of Mexico and the US
Putin urges Rosneft and Exxon Mobil to start joint projects in Gulf of Mexico
Collage: Voice of Russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin urges Rosneft and Exxon Mobil to expand cooperation with joint projects in the Gulf of Mexico and the US.
During a video conference from the Orlan drilling rig Putin said that the Black Sea and the shelf procure a vast field of work and he is pleased that Exxon Mobil is becoming a strategic partner of Russia's largest company Rosneft. Putin expects Rosneft and Exxon Mobil also to cooperate in other regions of the world, in particular the Gulf of Mexico and the US.
President of Exxon Mobil Development Neil Duffin pointed out that their mutual plans with Rosneft involve the construction of oil rigs similar to Orlan for carrying out joint projects.
