College Hockey:Oswego Rolls Over NEC, 5-2
Thompson's Hat Trick Leads Lakers
OSWEGO, N.Y. — CJ Thompson had a hat-trick, his second in two games, as the host Oswego Lakers defeated New England College 5-2 to advance to the championship of the Pathfinder Bank Classic tournament.
Thompson scored two goals in the first period and one in the second to pace the Lakers to their 12th win on the season. Oswego remains unbeaten at 12-0-3, its best start in school history.
"We played hard, and got off to a good start," said Laker coach Ed Gosek. "The power play was clicking. We got sloppy in the third period and have to be careful of that, facing a good team (Elmira) tomorrow."
"Give them credit, they're a talented team," said New England coach Tom Carroll. "We made mistakes early and they all wound up in our net."
Oswego took an early lead when Garren Reisweber took a feed from Kyle McCutcheon and beat New England goaltender Matthew Lyon with a wraparound.
The goals came fast near the end of the period, which ended 3-1 in favor of Oswego. CJ Thompson got his first of the game on the power play at 16:33, and Paul Rota scored just 16 seconds later to put New England on the board. With 56 seconds to go in the period, Thompson got his second of the game, roofing the puck past Lyon.
The teams again traded goals later in the second period. NEC cut the lead to 3-2 at 12:42, but the Lakers answered just 20 seconds later. Micky Serra scored on a breakaway for the Pilgrims, and Thompson completed the hat-trick off a feed from Tyler Laws with 4:28 to play in the second.
Brendan McLaughlin's power play goal with 2:30 to go in the second finished the scoring.
New England had plenty of chances in the third period, outshooting the Lakers 10-5, but was unable to convert.
"The game was called like it was two-three years ago," said Gosek. "Not may power plays for either team."
Oswego was 2-3 with the man advantage, while New England failed to convert on its three chances.
Thompson gave credit to his linemates for his second consecutive hat-trick. "(Garren) Reisweber and (Neil) Musselwhite are great players, great skaters. I'm glad we got the power play goal tonight. We've been working really hard on it and it was nice to have it pay off."
"We moved CJ to the line with Reisweber and Musselwhite to try to balance the scoring, and it's really been working, "said Gosek.
"I can't explain it," said Thompson of his second consecutive three goal game. "Everything's just clicking right now. The whole team is playing great."
"The difference in the game was that they scored on our mistakes and we didn't score on their mistakes," said Carroll. "They're a very talented team and you can't make the kind of mistakes we made in the first period and expect to win."
New England falls to 4-4 on the season and will take on St. Thomas in the consolation tomorrow, while the Lakers will host Elmira in the championship game.
"We're exited to play tomorrow night," said Gosek, whose team will face Elmira for the third time this season. "It's tough to beat a very good team three times (in a season). We'll have our work cut out for us."

The Truth About Forever
by Sarah Dessen
The Truth About Forever Chapter 6 Summary
- Now it's Wes's turn to jump out at Bert. They're at another catering event, and Macy is hiding in a closet with him, waiting.
- Whoa, what? Macy's hiding in a closet with Wes? What's going on there? Did we miss something?
- No, no, nothing's going on. Macy just came in to hang up a guest's wrap, and found him in there, waiting to pounce on Bert.
- The pounce is successful, Bert screams like a girl, and then he vows revenge on both of them.
- They all head to the kitchen, where Delia realizes they've left the main course—six hams—at her house. Oops.
- As usual, she figures out a way to save the day, and everyone goes home happy.
- Macy is really enjoying the craziness of the catering job, and the new friends she's made, but she still never goes out with them afterwards.
- When she goes home, she sees her dad's old truck parked outside. That means Caroline has come to visit.
- At lunch the next day, Caroline tries to talk their mom into renovating their dad's old beach house and then going there for a family vacation.
- Their mom really fights the idea, but Caroline eventually brings her around to it. She's trying to help her deal with his death.
- Lunch takes so long that Macy is 20 minutes late getting back to the library. Uh-oh…
- When Bethany and Amanda comment, she finally realizes that not only will she never be perfect, but you know what? She doesn't want to be.
- That night, after a catering job, she finally agrees to go out with Kristy and the gang.

Responding to already-strained food pantry shelves further depleted by Hurricane Sandy, Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan launched the second annual Feeding Our Neighbors campaign aimed at collecting more than one million meals for those in need. Cardinal Dolan began this year's campaign on Sunday, January 27, 2013, during Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Msgr. Kevin Sullivan, executive director of Catholic Charities NY concelebrated the mass.
This year, the campaign, which runs through February 3, 2013, represents an interfaith initiative with the UJA-Federation of New York. The Wall Street Journal reported that officials said this was one of the largest interfaith efforts of its kind.
"So often today…we see signs of religion as a cause of hate and division," Cardinal Dolan told a packed Sunday Mass. "But in New York we are so proud that religion brings people together and that it takes care of God's most forgotten people."
Following Mass, John S. Ruskay, executive vice president and CEO of UJA-Federation of New York, and William E. Rapfogel, executive director and CEO of Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty (Met Council), a UJA-Federation of New York beneficiary agency, joined Cardinal Dolan and Msgr. Sullivan in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral to load food donations onto Catholic Charities' Mobile Food Pantry and Met Council trucks for delivery to food pantries, soup kitchens and meal programs that serve New Yorkers in need.
After that, Msgr. Sullivan, Mr. Ruskay and Mr. Rapfogel kicked off UJA-Federation's "Super Sunday" phone-a-thon to solicit additional donations.
During this time of great need, one in five New York State children grow up in poverty and more than one million New Yorkers do not have enough to eat.
This campaign grows out of an awareness and concern that embraces New Yorkers of all religions who must turn to food pantries, soup kitchens and senior center meal programs, to sustain themselves and their families.
Listen to Msgr. Sullivan's interview with Mr. Ruskay about the Feeding Our Neighbors campaign aired Saturday, January 26 on JustLove, The Catholic Channel 129 Sirius XM Satellite Radio.

News Brief
AAOHN received this ANA 'Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown'. Our AAOHN Advocacy Committee is reviewing this call and will offer recommendations to the BOD for an AAOHN position statement.
"Like the rest of the nation, America's nurses are heartbroken as we grieve the unthinkable loss and profound tragedy that unfolded last week in Newtown, Conn. This horrific event is a tipping point and serves as a call to action. The nation's nurses demand that political and community leaders across this country address longstanding societal needs to help curb this endless cycle of senseless violence.
Our country has witnessed unspeakable acts of mass shootings. The common thread in each of these tragedies has been the lethal combination of easy access to guns and inadequate access to mental health services.
As the largest single group of clinical health care professionals, registered nurses witness firsthand the devastation from the injuries sustained from gun violence. We also witness the trauma of individuals, families, and communities impacted by violence.
The care and nurturing of children in their earliest years provides a strong foundation for healthy growth and development as they mature into adulthood. Children, parents, and society face growing challenges with respect to widespread bullying and mental illness, and nurses understand the value of early intervention. Over the past decade, ill-advised and shortsighted cutbacks within schools and community health care systems have seriously impeded critical and needed access to school nurses and mental health professionals trained to recognize and intervene early with those who are at-risk for violent behavior.
The public mental health system has sustained a period of devastating cuts over time. These cuts have been exacerbated during the Great Recession despite an increase in the demand for services for all populations, including our nation's veterans. States have cut vital services, such as community and hospital-based psychiatric care, housing, and access to medications. Looming budget cuts could lead to further cuts in services.
It is time to take action. The nation's nurses call on President Obama, Congress, and policymakers at the state and local level to take swift action to address factors that together will help prevent more senseless acts of violence. We call on policymakers to:
- Restore access to mental health services for individuals and families
- Increase students' access to nurses and mental health professionals from the elementary school level through college
- Ban assault weapons and enact other meaningful gun control reforms to protect society"

Re: Mediator for uncomplicated divorce & custody
My divorce was finalized in July, and I strongly recommend the mediation process. A good mediator functions almost like a therapist in the sense that s/he facilitates conversations about very difficult issues and gets you to a place of agreement. I can recommend both Judith Joshel in Berkeley and Eva Herzer in Albany, very close to the Berkeley line. You could talk to each woman to get a sense of her style. Judith Joshel's has a website at www.judithjoshel.com, and Eva Herzer's phone number is 510) 526-5146. If you would like to contact me about my experience, feel free.
Re: Looking for mediator for divorce
We used Eva Herzer for mediation. We did get through after several months but - We had to rewrite all the financial statements and collect the documentation three times - Eva requested this upfront then twice again. We were not clear that it needs to be very up to date when filing. She presented us with a final document where some obsolete law was quoted. She didn't seem be up to date on a particular tax law that was applicable. She forgot about a visit we had scheduled. More subtle things... I felt she was taking sides and that she criticized me for my character traits. It was hard for me but of course it's just my perception and I might be subjective. Anon
Re: Peaceful way to Divorce??
I highly recommend Eva Herzer as a mediator. My husband and I had very different ideas of how to settle things. We could barely talk without getting into a fight when we started mediation. Eva provided a safe and structured environment and walked us through the process in an amazingly efficient and calm way. She helped us focus on what really mattered, especially our co-parenting relationship. We ended up with a complete agreement, including a division of our assets, in less than 2 months. I really liked how balanced and fair she was, making space for both of our views. The whole process also helped us on the road to better communication and our agreement has proven to be very workable. Eva also did all of the legal paper work to get us divorced without us having to go to court. Her fee was very reasonable, expecially for someone as experienced as her. She is located in Kensington, off Solano Avenue in Berkeley (510- 526-4144).

How does the web app http://20q.net work? Can I write a similar program, in a smaller scale, and if yes how?
Sure, this is called an "expert system" and can be represented by a binary tree (in the case of yes/no questions only). Each non-leaf node in your tree is a question (e.g. Is it a mammal?). Each leaf is a final answer (e.g. Giraffe) with an implied question Is it a giraffe?. If the answer to this final question is yes, the user guessed the answer. If the answer is no, then the user should be prompted to input a new question (added to the database) where the answer is yes for the new answer (e.g. wombat) and no for the old answer (giraffe). The system grows in "intelligence" the more it is used.

Brake Pads
Featured Brake Pads Products
Brake pads are the parts of the car that grip onto the brake rotors, or brake discs, and actually force the vehicle to slow down using friction. Pads that no longer have a strong grip do not work effectively. Many drivers choose to install new performance brake pads regularly, just to avoid any future problems. Road racers, in particular, rely on new racing brake pads all the time, as high speeds and quick stops combine to result in dramatic wear and tear on these pads. From new metallic brake pads to ceramic ones, effective brake pads can make all the difference between a timely stop and an untimely accident.

Love this label but have yet to venture into a real life store, so thanks for this - now I have!ReplyDelete
These clothes are fabulous and I did notice the Kooples shops while in Paris.
I like it that their ad campaigns use real life couples.
Happy week
love this post!
actually seen their Autumn/Winter campaign images in this months Elle and loved the concept.
Will definetly have to pay their store a visit.
Abigail x
The ads I know - no one could overlook them - but I've never been to one of their stores. Got a hunch I'd go pretty crazy in there... things look so GOOD, and the bucket bag - yum yum!ReplyDelete
I love the lace dress - does anyone actually buy the story that those too-beautiful couples are real life ones and not models??ReplyDelete
I'd love to visit this place! Love the androgynous outfits and the lace. Skull and crossbones never looked so chic. xxxReplyDelete
Oh how I love these a dash arrogant looking, uber stylish Kouples! Love passing by the store on rue de Passy... and end up shopping cheaper at Shania;)ReplyDelete
I've spotted a few Kooples boutiques in London and I really love their style!!ReplyDelete
Adore this idea! I am constantly stealing my bfs clothes...err i mean 'borrowing' and since we live together i have the full choice~!
My favourite steals are his mont blanc watch and his jumpers, which i turn into jumper dresses hehe
Thank you for sharing!! Love this, and that add campaign is to cute
I'm always happy to find something new and different in the high street fashion. This sounds very promising and I like the concept of the brand. xo
Why do you guys get all the funky cool stuff?! I love this store concept! And I wish they'd bring something similar to the states because currently, there's nothing in my husband's closet that I would like to wear!ReplyDelete
What a fun concept for a store! Not all stores offer the same level of selection and design quality for both sexes, but Kooples seems like a great place to shop for yourself and your significant other.ReplyDelete
looks like a brilliant concept. i love the campaign photos, such a sweet vintage feel. and the clothes are so smart and great. thanks for sharing.
hope you're having a wonderful summer
Oh I never heard of this before! What a fabulous concept. Looks like it's time for me to hop on a place again :) xoxoReplyDelete
Thank you for so much information about the brand, darling! I've heard of the kooples before but never paid attention because sometimes I just need you to point me in a right direction. :) I guess this is how it works. :D Love the lace pieces and the shorts - so very tempting. xReplyDelete
I've been to the London boutique and really liked what was on offer. However, since I don't fall into the "skinny" category, I found it a bit of a challenge...if you know what I mean ;-) Otherwise, great! xoReplyDelete
This store looks awesome! So is it true then that good looking people seek out other ridiculously good looking people? :pReplyDelete
LOVE IT, especially those blazers!ReplyDelete
Never heard of this label but it looks great!=) What a fun concept.
Absolutely gorgeous looks and pics!
Loving the lace!
Wow those are real life couples? From where?? They're all gorgeous. Love this post, and these pieces look like incredibly well tailored basics, like you said.ReplyDelete
alot of great information here. thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
i've never seen this before so thanks for sharing. i love that they are real life couples posing in the clothes.ReplyDelete
I have never seen this label before. But I think the whole concept it brilliant. I just adore the blazers and all the tiny details. Thanks for sharing.
nice. I was here last summer when I was in Paris - really loved the label. Like the ideal of complementing collections - makes "borrowing" (or stealing for that matter) from your man's closet so much more palatable.ReplyDelete
oooohhh what an interesting store concept. I will have to look out next time I am in London! And I admit--- my husband I shop together and if I could I would borrow quite a bit of his stuff.... (he is much too tall!!!!!!)ReplyDelete
These clothes are great.
I like all the men's tailored suits displayed
lee x
I am absolutely in love with the ad campaigns - they are incredible! :)ReplyDelete
WOW what a fantastic idea.! i dont think i ve seen a shop like this in toronto at all! you always have the best posts! love love love
oh, the clothing looks amazing! haven't heard from them yet! but when in London, need to visit one of their stores for sure! xoxoReplyDelete
I love the concept of their ads!ReplyDelete
Wow these couples are fierce!!
Wow, that lace is gorgeous of course, great pieces! xo -TajReplyDelete
I have loved their adertising campaign. Not ventured into any stores yet though. Will do now though. XxxxReplyDelete
this is such a cool concept!ReplyDelete
Never heard of this label! Thanks for this post - it sounds great, and those ad pictures are really beautiful. I love androgynous clothing shapes.ReplyDelete
It is crazy how fast they are rising! Just the other day I was walking in Hampstead Heath (I live in Primrose Hill) and they had just opened a shop there (so did Maje!)
I adore their campaigns
Hey !
That seams like a great store !
The adds are awesome and I don't even get me started on that skull belt :)
i think i could get around this idea! as long as the clothes fit and flatter, the androgyness thing can work. if properly accessorized. lol. like i am making the rules here! and i spy a bag that i think i would KILL FOR! superb!ReplyDelete
Goodness, this is chic overload!!ReplyDelete
Heck, I wish I could go to Paris or London! This idea of girls and guys mixing wardrobes is really gaining popularity, and although it's no longer a really unique concept, I like what this label has to offer. (Well, ok, namely that lace top).
I want these clothes just because the ads are so amazing!ReplyDelete
the accessories in the store are pretty neat, like the scarf they put on the man mannequin. and I'm always such a fan of inspired male clothing for women, ties and hats and dress shirts equals :D for me hahaReplyDelete
there's this cool oldschool element in every pieces!
wish the kooples is available in singapore
Love the fact that the label has a thought going behind it. Just makes them so much fun. Am just back from the Lakme fashion week, and just a tad disappointed with a lot of fashion created for the sake of a collection. So a brandlike this surely refreshes the entire thinking behind fashion and style.
Thanks for sharing.
Loving this shop! Especially like all of the beautiful lacy pieces. Thanks for sharing!
I just started following you on bloglovin'! Would love for you to check out the blog I just started with my sister and follow us back if you'd like.
Also, enter the giveaway we are doing for a Tiffany & Co. necklace!
It's such a nice label. I love the vibe of this collection, and want that lace dress. The men's blazers also look very nice. -xxReplyDelete
Absolutely adore this post, love the clothes!!!
At the beggining I wasn't even thinking of the girls yellow cheek as a referance to the moon, but when I was done with the illustration I realised it "Oh, There is the moon"!
Those spidery white lace pieces are gorgeous! Never been in a store but I really like the concept.ReplyDelete
I'm kinda diggin' those skull logos!ReplyDelete
Wow, cool photos, cool shop! Very elegant!!!:)ReplyDelete
Those are great ads! The couples look so hipster and cool.
Eternally yours,
very cool style!!!ReplyDelete
In what country(ies) are their clothes made?ReplyDelete
Great post as always!
Lovely pieces!
I always love to take a look at your blog!
I love that lace piece at the window, normally I don't like lace.ReplyDelete
I always wondered about this, so glad you explained! That white lace is absolutely gorgeous. I hope you are having a great week, love!
I really like this band :D
I bought a lace dress there recently and I'm very pleased with it;-)ReplyDelete

After a relaxing Christmas day, I found a renewed enthusiasm to build the new IKEA bookcase that had been sitting boxed up in our entrance hall for the past week or so. And I'm so glad I did! I spent the morning on Boxing Day arranging and re-arranging my stash of fabrics and other sewing bits and pieces - everything is so easy to find now!
Some new kraft storage boxes from Kikki K were the perfect size to house my finished greeting cards and pencil cases. Those shelves on the left show my finished stock - nowhere near enough yet for the stall I'm having at the Sister's Market in February.
Feeling inspired (and slightly panicked about the upcoming market) - I started sketching a pattern for an envelope style clutch to add to my collection of Rabbit & the Duck products. I have just finished stitching up my first one - hope you like it!
The plan is to make a whole bunch of these for my Etsy shop and market stall. I'm a bit in love with this scooter one though and may have to add it to my growing handbag and purse collection...

College Hockey:Atlantic Hockey Picks March 22-23 (Championship weekend)
Last Week: 2-6

This Week's Picks:
Atlantic Hockey Semifinals and Finals
March 22-23
Read more about each team in my weekly AHA column.
No. 7 Canisius vs. No. 1 Niagara
All that stuff about throwing out the records when these teams play each other is true. Never have the stakes been higher in this great Western New York rivalry. Canisius always matches up well with their neighbors to the northwest, but I have to go with the top-seeded Purple Eagles in a low scoring contest. If Niagara gets upset this weekend there will be about a 90% chance the Purple Eagles get in anyway with an at-large berth, putting two AHA teams into the NCAA tournament. But I don't think it's going to happen. Niagara wins.
No. 6 Mercyhurst vs. No. 4 Connecticut
With all due respect to the talented goalies on each team, I think this one will be more of a shootout than the first semifinal. Maybe that's wishful thinking on my part, but this one has the potential for 7-8 goals to be scored. The more run-and-gun this game gets, the better Mercyhurst's chances become. UConn wins if this one turns into a goaltending duel, the Lakers triumph in a goal-fest. I think the latter will occur. Mercyhurst wins.
See above. I'm going with Niagara to win it all.
My personal odds of each team winning the title:
- Niagara: 40%
- Merchurst: 25%
- Connecticut: 20%
- Canisius 15%

College Hockey:Ferris State the latest to accept WCHA invitation, BGSU still undecided
On the heels of Alaska and Lake Superior State accepting invitations to join the WCHA in 2013-2014, Ferris State has also accepted an invitation to join the league.
"Hockey is a very important sport to Ferris State University and to our fans," Ferris State president David Eisler said in a statement. "In joining the WCHA, Ferris remains firmly committed to a program of the highest standards of national competition with continued great success by our student-athletes and coaches. The unanimous support of the presidents in the WCHA in extending this invitation is sincerely appreciated. We look forward to working with them and our CCHA colleagues to make this a conference that builds on the great traditions of our programs and institutions."
As a condition of this potential membership process moving forward, the WCHA member presidents established a 30-day response timeline for acceptance.
"This is an outstanding day for Ferris State Bulldog hockey and college hockey in general," added Ferris AD Perk Weisenburger. "The uncertainty of the past five months has caused some genuine angst and instability on hockey playing campuses across the country. Through the vision, leadership and cooperative spirit of the institutions in these two tradition-rich conferences there is a renewed sense of stability, excitement and a new direction for hockey programs in both the CCHA and WCHA."
With Western Michigan still exploring its options for the future, Bowling Green issued a statement to USCHO Friday.
A Bowling Green spokesperson said that the school has not made a decision on the WCHA's invitation and is expecting answers to "a handful of questions" during teleconferences next week. The spokesperson did not put a time frame on the school's decision, other than saying it would probably not take the full 30 days that the WCHA allowed.

Wonder what bgsu is waiting for now
- JamesDee
Bowling Green is waiting for the big invitation to play in the NCHC.
Miami Ohio cannot be the only repesentive from Ohio.
ALL THREE MAC TEAMS NEED TO BE IN THE SAME CONFRENCE TOGETHER. (bowling green, western michigan univeristy and Miami Ohio)
Miami cant play in the NCHC on there own. Keep the MAC teams together, please.
Bowling Green doesnt fit in the WCHA
All there sports are D1.
Distance just doesnt make sense either.
A six team confrence doesnt make any sense either a 8-10 would be nice for the NCHC.
- Anonymous
Totally agree with you. In terms of institutional similarity BGSU is a better fit in the NCHC. The exception of CC – all the rest are similar sized/scope schools (yes the enrollements aren't 'exactly' the same but you know what I mean – institutional similarity means other things – such as other conference affiliation in other sports, academics, etc ). In other words BGSU "looks" more like the other schools in the NCHC (notably UND, Miami, UNO, and maybe DU) as opposed to Bemidji, Northern, Ferris, etc.
I don't know what the hockey scene is like in Ohio or what rivalry there is between Miami and BG but I can imagine there is some wisdom in keeping them together. At least it's a cheap travel date on the schedule.
the NCHC will only invite them if they see a need for a "Ring up" team that the others can improve their record on each year. BGSU is NOT a good fit for the level of competitiveness that will be on display in the NCHC. Notre Dame? Perhaps but not BGSU.
- JamesDee
They may be good enough for the NCHC if Notre Dame goes out east.
I believe the Bowling Green Falcons could improve if they were in the NCHC.
They could improve on recruiting and level of play if they were accepted in the NCHC. Also, if all three MAC teams together in the same league makes lots of sense.
Bowling Green fits in the NCHC better then the WCHA. BG doesnt fit with the remote small schools in the new WCHA.
Explain the good fit with NCHC.
- JamesDee
Bowling Green fits because they compete in Division one in every sport.
Also, BG would fit with Miami, WMU, Notre Dame if they were all in the NCHC.
BG also has one National Championship which MIami and UNO cant match. And UMD Bulldogs long history only has one National championship.
I might say BG fits but i dont think the NCHC thinks the same thing. They dont belong in a league with small schools with only hockey as a division one sport.
Bowling Green could grow into a great team in this league. The key word is opportunity, which BG will not get.
- Cole Butler
One problem, they've been trying to grow into that great team again for the past 15-20 years! That's their problem. Winning the National Title in 1984 doesn't gain you entrance in a newly formed league in 2011! The MAC, nobody cares. UNO, yes they have had less success traditionally than BGSU, but its what you've done now and where your team is heading in the future, and Dean Blais is coaching UNO, and Jerry York isn't coaching Bowling Green anymore!
Unfortunately, you and many others may not want to hear it, but it has a lot to do with who's running your program, and who they know. The administrators may be calling the shots, but every one of those coaches in the NCHC is in a position of power, and calling a lot of shots behind closed doors, and not one of them is knocking on Bowling Green's door. Why do they deserve the opportunity? You don't go 10 years well below .500, and suddenly say we deserve the opportunity because we were good in the 70′s, 80′s! If that's the case, then without a doubt, LSSU should be a shoe in!!!
- Mr. Grammar
I believe you mean "their" and "conference." :-)
- Suture
That's funny….lol. My GF corrects me all the time….and I have an advanced degree….lol. Of course, I ask her to do this….don't want to walk around like a total idiot my whole damn life…lol. But, Mr. Grammar, you could spend half a day correcting all of these posts….lol….even in my ignorance I can find numerous errors. Anyway, back to hockey and my thoughts. I agree with the previous poster that I do not want to watch the Sioux play Bowling Green every year. But, with 6 teams they (NCHC) better get SOMEBODY in their conference. Six teams does not a conference make. The NCHC is hoping big time Notre Dame pulls the trigger. After that I suppose it does not really matter….BG, WMU, etc….just need to get an 8th team in the conference. I do think it is going to be Notre Dame and WMU….IMHO. We'll see….
- JamesDee
And Notre Dame likes to drag this on longer.
- Cole Butler
The current NCHC members do not care about the MAC or keeping the MAC schools together, it has nothing to do with their other conference affiliations. Its about one sport, not if the rest of their sports are D1 or if they are in the MAC, etc.
Look at the current 6 schools. They all play their other sports in completely separate conferences. From D1 to D3. C.C. is D3 outside of hockey and wmns. soccer, UMD is D2 outside of men's and wmns. hockey, and everyone else is D1, all in their own separate conferences.
This isn't about anything else other than that school's commitment to their hockey program. Yes, they could have potentially bigger sports on campus such as football, but you better have a strong commitment to Hockey. Out of the current NCHC future members, hockey is the primary sport on each campus, with the exception of probably Miami. Look at UNO, they just cut their football program, and it wasn't some sad pathetic program either.
Sorry, not trying to come off as a jerk.
Agreed, and UND only recently went D1 in everything but hockey….
- Techfan
Well, it's also about money.
- Goalie Fan
I dont want to have to watch the Sioux play Bowling Green twice a year… That will be just like watching Michigan Tech all over again! The NCHC will end up taking the ND and Western Mich. It just makes more sense
- JamesDee
I want to watch Bowling Green play Sioux. Somebody has to Michigan Tech place in the NCHC. Dont know who the NCHC is going to end up taking but is between Notre Dame, WMU, and Bowling Green.
I want Notre Dame to go to Hockey East just like the rest of their sports. Notre Dame should be playing in Boston instead of Denver.
I hope the Irish go Hockey East. So Bowling Green and WMU can go to NCHC.
- BulldogFan
I have no inside information but there is no chance BGSU gets in the National. If Notre Dame decides to play independent (terrible idea) then my guess is the national stays at 6. This actually may not be terrible for the teams in the national as the conference schedule will be the toughest in college hockey. Playing 14 non-conference games would allow for the National to probably get in at least 4 or 5…possibly 6 teams in the tourney.
- Anon
There is no such this as a MAC school in college hockey. You are obviously completely clueless about college hockey and have no business posting on this message board.
- JamesDee
All three schools are MAC schools in other sports. Wouldnt it be smart to continue playing together in another league when the CCHA goes belly up in a couple of seassons. Also, the schools are close to each other.
The WCHA would be a traveling nightmare for Bowling Green to remote spots in the bush of Minnesota to pasty land in the UP. These would be some long bus rides for the Falcons.
- Cole Butler
Besides Bemidji, name a school in Minnesota thats in the remote Bush?
- Frank
which was a founding member of the CCHA back in 1971, is facing a future
without a home. Bowling Green are great to have all teams in CCHA.
Bowling Green did established with CCHA. Probably, They would be staying in CCHA.
and open positions for AHA teams and UAH to joining to the CCHA.
- JamesDee
Bowling Green is waiting for the call from Denver, CC, UNO,UMD, and ND.
- David Josselyn
I wonder what anyone is waiting for now. Aside from BGSU, this now leaves the CCHA with: Northern Michigan, Western Michigan, and Notre Dame– which is also expected to leave, either for the NCHC or Hockey East. If BGSU and Notre Dame both leave, they'd need to add four more teams to get back an NCAA bid, with the top prospect being, I assume, Alabama-Huntsville.
- Petergriffin944
Northern decided to leave the CCHA last month for the WCHA. They left immediately after the NCHC was established.
- Jlduskey
Both Bowling Green and Western Michigan could be considered as possible candidates for invitations to join the NCHC. Bowling Green may have an interest in being a member of the same conference as Miami–which would be understandable. Western Michigan appears to be interested in the NCHC, so nobody knows how this will all turn out because the NCHC isn't going to engage in public speculation, and Notre Dame is still getting facts together so they can make their decision.
The part that was clear was that Alaska, Lake Superior State, and Ferris State were good fits into the new WCHA: Alaska alongside AK-Anchorage, and Lake Superior State and Ferris State alongside No. Michigan and Michigan Tech. The WCHA handled this very well by inviting all five teams, but the result was not as certain with regard to Bowling Green and Western Michigan.
- Cole Butler
Trust me, Bowling Green isn't even being considered to join the NCHC. It has nothing to do with being from Ohio or any geographic location for that matter. I would expect Notre Dame to join along with Western Michigan, but not BGSU. The only reason Western is still being mentioned is because of who they just hired as Head Coach. The member schools that are joining the NCHC are all looking for members that are making the effort and putting their best foot forward with their hockey programs. BGSU recent talk of cutting hockey and lack of on ice success over the recent years isn't attractive to the other member schools. Its about money, packed buildings and a potential TV deal. BGSU doesn't fit into this formula.
If anyone else will be considered outside of Western Michigan and Notre Dame, it will be St.Cloud State. If SCSU would have completed their long talked about renovation by now, they may be already in the NCHC, but other schools have questioned their comittment and administrative leadership, thus why they are still in the WCHA. They would be an excellent fit, a much better fit than Miami of Ohio in my opinion. Miami may play in a packed arena every night, but its half to a 1/3 the size of at least all the current WCHA buildings, and its in Ohio.
- Anonymous
Actually SCSU was approached by the NCHC schools early on and THEY declined. Maybe Gino knows why.
I don't believe the NCHC formed because of lack of committment from other programs. One can't point to Bemidji for example and say they lacked committment – hanging around for 10 years in a lame duck conference and building a new arena which was started before they were even accepted into the WCHA. The arena renovation at SCSU was in the books long before the NCHC – and regardless it would have been done by 2013.
The NCHC was more a result of administrative differences.
True – from a competitive standpoint recently BGSU – maybe doesn't fit the NCHC. It's an issue BGSU adminstrators and supporters need to debate in terms of where they are now and where they want to be in the future. "Are we a "WCHA-like" school or are we a "NCHC-like school""
The WCHA was a no brainer for Northern (earlier), Ferris, Alaska, and LSSU – but for a variety of other reasons WMU and BGSU need to pause and consider.
- Cole Butler
I'm not disagreeing with the fact about Bemidji. Serratorre among others supporting the program had to work pretty hard to get that building built and too build that program. Honestly I wish they could have kept the WCHA in tact and added 2 programs, I think that would have worked out just fine, but it would not have helped the CCHA. Once DU and North Dakota started looking elsewhere, others, who were asked joined. They would be stupid not to join. St. Cloud State was never invited, but their school president said that even if they were invited, they would decline. A week later he was quoted saying that they were exploring all options, and he put to rest that if they were asked, they would decline.
Think of the recruiting aspect of it all. You don't think Motzko wouldn't join the NCHC? The programs in the NCHC have all had reasonable success lately, and that's because these programs have attracted some of the top end college recruits in North America. Sure, you'll still see these kids in the WCHA, but what leagues do you think now will these top end kids be looking to go to now? The Big10 and the NCHC and Hockey East in the East. The best kids want to play against the best kids. Hence why the majority of the schools involved have had consistent success lately. Although I will admit UMD has been the only school to win a National Title in a while from that group, yet all of the schools have strong programs year in and year out. My gut tells me, Motzko wants to be in the recruiting mix, if invited.
Again, I'm sorry, but BGSU won't be asked to join. I respect their tradition and past success, but the same could be said for LSSU and Mich. Tech and their history. Thier best and I think only option would be to join the WCHA, even if the travel sucks, I don't think they have any other options. Honestly I don't think Miami would have ever been included in this league if it were not for the relationship between Blasi and Gwozdecky.
- JamesDee
I hope the future Bowling Green recruits like long bus rides if they join the new WCHA. Just think of those bus rides to Marquette, Soo, Houghton, Bemdji, St Cloud, Mankato and Alaska.
Not a single close team to play. I hope they expand their hockey budget to travel the nice winter roads to pasty land and snowy rides to Minnesota.
I would think whatever league they end up in they will like to travel. No more close teams like Ann Arbor, Lansing, Columbus, Miami, and Kalmazoo.
- Zoomhockzen
You're right. There will be a persistent top tier with HE, NCHC, and B10, followed by all others. Success breed success. Today we have the exact same thing with two out of the three league names different, but the same top teams continuing to breed success. If I'm a recruit, I don't care, aside perhaps for some longer bus rides.
What we know as the W today is not at all what the W will be tomorrow. Am I sad? yeah. I'm sad about the demise of the C also, as I was about College Hockey America, as I am about the mire UAH is in, etc… But the programs with the best potential recruiting-wise, media-contract wise, and school-administration-wise are moving ahead. And I'm excited about seeing some new rivalries develop and flourish at the top of the talent pack.
Interestingly, INCH has 5/6ths of the future NCHC in their preseason Top 10. Only UNO is outside, and I think most will agree UNO is a program that will challenge year in and year out. INCH only has one future B10 team sneaking in at #10. (Yes, I know, preseason means nothing and the leagues are 2 years off. Save your keystrokes. The comment is directional. I can't help but to cheer against the B10).
As for Miami not being a legit member of the NCHC… Double check the stats Cole. This is a top-tier program over the past 5 years, and a very strong program over the past 10. It seems like it's made the administrative commitments to be top tier. Small arena? Yep. In talking to folks there, I think they like it that way. Gwoz did get that program to taste success when he was there, and I'd have to suspect he and Blasi are close, as you suggest, but you sell a great program short suggesting they're not there on merit.
BGSU goes NCHC if ND goes HE. Otherwise BG goes W. BG will be a much better team in the NCHC than it will be in the W. That's a simple function of recruiting to a better league. (Sorry, just a fact). You have to look forward with a program like BG. You'll get dizzy looking back. Weak today, yes, definitely; but with great potential to move up. Keep in mind too, that their non-conference sched will be B10 teams either way. They have the pieces no matter where they land.
- Cole Butler
I don't dispute the fact that Miami hasn't had success the past 5 seasons! They've been one of the top 5-10 teams year in year out during those years, including a frozen four, and have had excellent scorers almost every year. They have an excellent program. I should back track a little, but I just don't think they would have been a sure thing without that Gwoz/Blasi connection.
I'm not disputing the NCHC wouldn't be a good fit for BGSU, but i can guarantee you the member schools in the upcoming NCHC feel that BGSU will not be a good fit in the NCHC. Simply put, they don't want BGSU. I think everyone is confused with the fact that BGSU has a choice between joining the NCHC and the WCHA, they don't. Their options are the WCHA or the WCHA. They are not Notre Dame right now where they have options. Again, nothing against Bowling Green, but it is what it is! If you can show me something where Bowling Green was asked to join or was invited, i'd like to see it.
Besides the travel part, I think they'd be an excellent fit for the WCHA and honestly their best option all things considered.
Again, I was happy with the way things were before the B10 got their greedy, grubby hands involved. The tradition and rivilaries the WCHA and CCHA has had will be hard to match. The WCHA Final Five in St. Paul was arguably the most entertaining fan experience in all of college hockey. Its sad, because we'll never see it again in my opinion.
- Cole Butler
I'm not disagreeing with the fact about Bemidji. Serratorre among others supporting the program had to work pretty hard to get that building built and too build that program.

Nonsense. All it will take is Notre Dame turning down the NCHC and going Hockey East…and the NCHC will come crawling to BGSU and Western, hat in hand. Otherwise NCHC is stuck at 6 teams, a dangerous place to be.
And you're out of date on BGSU's 'committment'. "Bring Back the Glory" netted strong support and major renovations to the arena. BG's program is back on track, and "commitment" isn't an issue.

What a year for change. What looked like 7 hockey conferences two years from now will be six.
- Sioux Supporter
Say "Goodbye" to the CCHA. There aren't enough teams out there to keep it a viable conference. If any of the fans, or schools, are unhappy about this the entire blame should be laid on Big Ten Conference. They completely changed the face of D-1 hockey in middle America. All else is supplemental to that action….
- UPHockey
How the remaining chips fall still depends on what Notre Dame does.
I agree with the earlier comments that NCHC isn't interested in BGSU. NCHC's main joining criteria are program budget, arena size and recent success. If BGSU found a donor to kick their program up financially, they would be a contender, but not now.
That said, I think the following scenarios are possible:
1. Notre Dame joins NCHC in the next 30 days – WMU probably then gets an NCHC invite and BGSU joins WCHA.
2. Notre Dame goes Hockey East or Indep in next 30 days – WMU and BGSU both join WCHA for the 2013 season. WMU makes plans to jump to NCHC in the future.
3. Notre Dame doesn't do anything in next 30 days – WMU and BGSU both commit to WCHA for 2013. WMU jumps ship as soon as they can get a partner institution that NCHC will accept (from WCHA or elsewhere)
I don't think SCSU ever got an invite from NCHC. The AD's quote a few months ago stated that they hadn't been invited, but would have accepted if they were.
I think the new WCHA is going to be a lot stronger than the B1G and NCHC people think. Hockey is a small-town, niche sport where most of the kids come from the woods. Small market schools regularly do well and many of the best players come from these markets. I think the synergy created by this new tightly regional WCHA with local rivalries will keep a lot of top talent in the area, despite the TV deals at the big market schools. WCHA teams will still be recruited just as heavily as before.
- Yooper
I think your right about the new WCHA being stronger than B10 and NCHC folks might anticipate. One other option no one seems to mention: Why wouldn't Notre Dame think of staying independent as apparently they are not affiliated with future conferences yet. As a strong independent program, they certainly would wind up with many scheduling invitations from the best programs in every conference. A sort of dream schedule for those wishing to gain NCAA invitations. Tell me where I err.
There is value in being part of a conference such as the NCHC or WCHA. It allows for predictability and stability in scheduling as well as a happy fanbase.
Being forced to coordinate 20-36 games each and every years based around OTHER teams conference required games makes it very dicey. After all, Notre Dame might be forced to give up a weekend or be forced to play in the lesser venues.
- JamesDee
The key word to the new WCHA that the NCHA doesnt have is stability and tradition.
The new leagues doesnt have a history at all and that is going to be a set back for the teams.
It is like starting a new business. How long do new business last?
- UPHockey
Typo on my previous post:
"I don't think SCSU ever got an invite from NCHC. The AD's quote a few months ago stated that they hadn't been invited, but WOULDN'T have accepted if they were."
Also, I think the new WCHA will re-energize many of the programs that for years were in the bottom half. Among the three UP teams (which together have 7 NCAA cups), the excitement is palpable and I'd expect to see some of these half-full arenas start to fill up again when the teams have a real shot at an NCAA berth.

Word from the Assistant coach of Bowling Green Falcons they will join the new WCHA for 2013-2014 season.
Good luck with the travel in the new league. They will part of a stable and a great tradional league.
Yeah, they are WAY out of range travel wise for easy commuting to most teams in the new WCHA. THey will now have to commit much more int he way of resources to get it done.
- Ferrisfan
That will suck for FSU too, although they had no real choice in the matter. St. Cloud and Bemidji are over 700 miles away, and Mankato is just under that.
- JamesDee
Ferris will enjoy traveling in a diffrent direction as they play all the games in the northern direction. I hope the Ferris teams enjoys traveling the seney stretch as they trek to Houghton, Marquette, Bemdji, St Cloud, and Mankato. Some tough winter rides and missing school to reach league opponents.
Ferris has been playing teams nearby MSU, Michigan, WMU, OSU, Miami, and Bowling Green. Talk about a culture shock as they will have to stay in motels a little more than in the past.

Commission Bruce McLead was grabbed almost all
the CCHA's teams to WCHA. He doesn't think to share about what 4
teams (Niagara, Mercyhurst, Robert Morris and Canisius) from AHA who
wants have 18 scholarships and would be moving to CCHA in 2013-14.
That's not right! WCHA invited to Bowling Green. But Bowling Green,
which was a founding member of the CCHA back in 1971, is facing a future
without a home. Bowling Green are great to have all teams in CCHA.
Bowling Green was established with CCHA. They would be staying in CCHA.
and open positions for AHA teams and UAH to joining to the CCHA. All
total will be 6 or 8 teams on CCHA in 2013-14. probably in after 2017.
Few teams would move back to CCHA from WCHA or NCHC who knows. Keep CCHA
stay alive. STOP! Be grabbed to CCHA 's teams by WCHA – commission

So you stay in a league that was already struggling (CCHA) or you join a league that has proven year in year out that they are the most financially stable league in the country(WCHA). Now granted, the WCHA will not be pulling in money like they did with Minnesota and Wisconsin involved, but it will still be stable. If the existing CCHA stayed, you could still have a league, but it would be a lot more challenging.
If you develop a new CCHA with the teams you mentioned and you might as well call it the new CHA, because that's what it will be and within 5 years when everyone will be looking for new leagues to play in. It isn't Elitism, its reality. Any league that plays in front 1,500- 3,000 tops, in the format you described (Mercyhurst, RMU, etc.) isn't going to make much money, and right now with athletic departments across the country hurting as much as they are, it doesn't make much sense.
Its sad, its frustrating, it sucks, but unless somebody comes out of the wood work and puts the kabosh on the Big10 conference, its the way it is. So again, blame the Big 10!

Please not another CHA. Lets put the CCHA behind us and hope for success in the NCHC.
- Out_of_Left_Field
Alaska and UAA should be in the NCHC
- Zoomhockzen
You really are out of left field!
- JamesDee
You are soooo right. UAA and UAF belong in the NCHC, not Miami.
Movement in the future will allow UAA and UAF to join the NCHC.
Also Air Force fits the league to a tee. Imagine Denver, CC, and Air Force in the same league I compare this to NMU, MTU, and LSSU being in the same league.

All good, all interesting, but why silence about the future and fate of UAH? I think this is a big deal, because US college hockey is very important in the larger developmental picture, and more college programs is definitely better. If UAH folds, it will have a chilling effect on any school outside of New England and the upper midwest that might consider adding NCAA hockey. With all the press that realignment is getting, why isn't UAH getting any nibbles? I know they haven't won much lately, but their tradition is good and as I said the very fact of their existence is very important to the whole deal. The UA system is considering letting go of hockey mainly because there's been no conference invite. I think if some conference steps up, the program lives and thrives. Why isn't this happening?
- Yooper
I agree with your sentiments regarding UAH. Why no invitations yet? Well, it still may come from the WCHA. I think the problem is simply that no one wants to travel to Huntsville. Sure UNO, UAA, and UAF haven't won much lately either, but the NCHC and WCHA don't seem to mind that travel sacrifice so much. Why?, because they have some relationship with these teams from past competitions, previous travels, and the relationships between the peoples. It's much more difficult to omit people you know and like. If UAH were givin the opportunity to form these same relationships, their chances would be much better. I sure hope they don't fold because they have paid their dues long ago.
- JamesDee
I believe once Notre Dame goes out east.
And WMU Bowling Green and St Cloud join the NCHC.
UAH Chargers will be invited to the WCHA.
- FalconFrenzy
I love watching all the stereotyping of the "elite" programs vs. the rebuilding programs. Notre Dame dropped hockey a few years back, Miami has only become competitive in the last 10 years, one "Big 10″ program made the tournament last season, etc. When did WMU become a powerhouse? They had one decent season in the last 10 years, which resulted in the defection of their coach. Andy Murray is no Jerry York.
A smart conference will look at who is seriously rebuilding their program for the future, which is Bowling Green. Their legacy dominated the NCAA in the 70′s, 80′s, and 90′s. Mike Liut, George McPhee, Garry Galley, Nelson Emerson, Brian Holzinger, Dan Bylsma, Rob Blake, Kevin Bieksa are just a few of the Falcons who successfully played for many years in the NHL. No reason BG's success can't be repeated in the near future.
BTW what's the hangup with no conferences showing Alabama-Huntsville any love? Their travel is less than many of the WCHA locales. They have a growing program with a vocal fan base.

Adam's Comment - Isn't winning championships and getting to the NCAA the goal anymore?
Having smaller conferences increased the odds of winning and making the
NCAA tournament. If the 4 teams from AH leave and join BGSU, UAH – you
have a six-team conference with room to expand. Except for the Alabama
trips, the travel does not increase. The AH schools don't go to Air
Force anymore and BGSU doesn't go to Alaska anymore. Of course, I don't
think this will happen but its a thought.
Frank added -> After 2017. some teams would like to move back to CCHA from WCHA and NCHC (Miami forgot their hometown in Oho with BGSU. Save their travel expense. Ferris State and WMU too. Some expanisions like Lindenwood Universtiy would move to Div I in few years maybe in 2013-14. That's CCHA would be staying alive. CCHA Commission would be happy to staying in CCHA in 2013-14. Be positive!!
Someone has to finally step up and invite UAH to a conference, don't they?
- JamesDee
The perfect NCHC
Denver, CC, ND, UMD, Miami, Notre Dame, Boston College, and Boston University

Janet Chencinski was stopped by Deerfield, Illinois police on Wednesday at approximately 4:30 in the afternoon, according to a Chicago Tribune report on Friday. The 67-year-old woman was stopped because she was talking on her cell phone which is not legal in the state of Illinois since Jan. 1 of this year.
Chencinski thought she would outsmart the officer and tell him that she was speaking on her phone to her elderly mother who was having a medical emergency. She told the policeman that she was suffering from heart pain and was very sick. She went on to say that she had told her mother to call 911. After Chencinski requested if she could leave to go to her mother's home, the policeman gave her permission to leave – with a verbal warning.
However, the officer also called 911 and gave them the name and address of Chencinski's mother and asked for an ambulance to be sent there.
You guessed it. When the Skokie Fire Department ambulance got to Chencinski's mother's house, the mother was fine and not suffering any medical emergency. Besides not being sick, the mother said that she hadn't even spoken to her daughter on the phone that day.
Chencinski, of the 100 block of Avon Road in Northbrook, Illinois – a northern suburb of Chicago – was contacted by the police. She then turned herself in at the Deerfield Police Department. She has been charged with using a cell phone while driving, obstructing a police officer, and disorderly conduct for having made a false report. Released on $120 bond, she is due in Park City Branch Court on May 6.

Prosecutors: Bulger's Longtime Companion Moved Assets to Sister
The longtime companion of alleged Boston crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger, following her arrest last year, transferred her interest in a South Boston home to her sister and also let her sister move more than $100,000 from one of her bank accounts, federal prosecutors said in court papers.
The new details come more than a week after Catherine E. Greig, 60 years old, pleaded guilty to criminal charges and admitted to helping Bulger hide from federal authorities for 16 years.
Bulger, 82, was on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's "Ten Most Wanted" list when he was captured in Santa Monica, Calif., where he and Ms. Greig lived under false identities for years.
You can read prior stories on Bulger here, here and here.
On Thursday, a federal judge in Boston issued restraining orders on several bank accounts and two properties connected to Greig following a request this week by federal prosecutors, who want them available to satisfy any monetary penalties in her criminal case.
She faces fines of up to $250,000 per count.
In court papers, Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary B. Murrane said Greig's sister, using a power of attorney, emptied about $134,000 out of a bank account held by Greig on Dec. 1 and moved it to an account at another bank.
Greig transferred her fractional ownership of a property in South Boston on July 23 for $1, Murrane said. Greig also owns a property in Quincy, Mass., Murrane said.
A lawyer for Greig didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment Thursday.

On February 1 2014, the UFC brought two title bouts into New Jersey for the Ultimate Fighting Championship's annual Super Bowl weekend card with UFC 169. Teammates at Nova Uniao; Renan Barao and Jose Aldo walked into the Octagon holding UFC titles and left the building with those belts in tow.
The main event of the night featured a rematch between Renan Barao and Urijah Faber for the UFC's bantamweight title. Barao had took their first matchup back when they fought in 2012 and was able to do it again in 2014.
Controversy swirls around the main event as Barao finished Faber with hammerfists while he was holding onto a single leg. Renan had hurt Faber twice leading up to the closure of the bout but some believe the stoppage still came early.
Renan landed a straight right hand early in the round that dropped Faber flat to his back. Faber scrambled back to his feet just to be stumbled once again by an overhand right that set up the closing moments of the fight. Faber tried to protest but Herb Dean had seen enough at that point to declare Renan the best bantamweight in the sport today.
Ricardo Lamas would get his shot at the UFC featherweight champion in the co-main event of the evening as he met Jose Aldo in the Octagon. The MMA community knows Aldo's strategy coming into his fights but that doesn't mean anyone can stop the leg kick assault that comes. Lamas continued the trend as he was peppered by kick after kick.
Lamas was unable to use any of his weapons that got him into this title fight as Jose picked him apart for 25 minutes. The champion landed combination after combination that went to Lamas's head, body and legs. Ricardo tried to take the fight to the ground multiple times but was unable to get the Brazilian on his back. Aldo scored takedowns of his own to control that position of the fight as well.
Lamas had a late surge when he reversed position to land on top but didn't have enough time to do any real damage to the champion. This was Aldo's sixth defense of the UFC featherweight title but his overall run goes back to 2009.
A slimmer Alistair Overeem entered the cage to face off against Frank Mir in the night's lone heavyweight bout. Overeem looked to use his world class striking to earn his second win in the Octagon. It took three rounds of action but the former DREAM and Strikeforce champion earned the victory.
Overeem would rock Mir with a standing knee in the first round that would drop the former champion. Alistair pounced on a clearly stunned Mir but Frank used his grappling to stay safe and get the fight back to his feet. Mir had his best moment of action in the second round when he scored with a double leg takedown to get on top. He locked up a guillotine but Overeem was able to get his head out. Round three would look the same as Overeem controlled the positioning for the whole round.
Ali Bagautinov came into his fight very aware of the power that John Lineker posses in each punch and fought with a strategy to stay away from that strength.
In the first round he quickly scored a takedown to control the positioning while scoring with ground and pound. He tried the same thing in the second round but Lineker was able to stuff the attempts then follow up with shots. Ali looked hurt towards the end of the round as he took multiple body blows during the course of the round.
Ali went back to the takedowns for the third round to take control of the cards. Linkeker couldn't stay on his feet for enough time to land enough to slow Ali down. In the end Bagautinov would improve to 3-0 in the UFC with the unanimous decision victory.
Lightweights Jamie Varner and Abel Trujillo started off the night with a spark. Abel and Jamie stood in the pocket and let punches go in what was the most exciting action of the night to that point.
Jamie had Abel in two dangerous positions in the fight. Early he found himself in the north-south position and looked to end the fight with a choke. Abel was able to survive the position and once he got back to his feet the punches started flying. Varner had success there as well as he clipped Abel multiple times.
The second round was all action as both fighters stood in the center of the cage throwing punch after punch. Varner would hurt Abel again but it still wouldn't be enough to win the fight. Abel would land a thudding right hand to an approaching Varner that sent him sprawling to the canvas. Trujillo didn't have to throw and follow up shots as it was clear that the former WEC champion was out cold.
At the end of the night Aldo and Barao tightened their grip around the bantamweight and featherweight divisions with two dominating wins at UFC 169. These wins leave the MMA community looking around for new challengers for the champions that have defeated everyone placed in front of them.
Renan Barao defeated Urijah Faber via TKO in round one.
Jose Aldo defeated Ricardo Lamas via unanimous decision.
Alistair Overeem defeated Frank Mir via unanimous decision.
Ali Bagautinov defeated John Lineker via unanimous decision.
Abel Trujillo defeated Jamie Varner via KO in round two.
Alan Patrick defeated John Makdessi via unanimous decision.
Chris Cariaso defeated Danny Martinez via unanimous decision.
Nick Catone defeated Tom Watson via unanimous decision.
Al Iaquinta defeated Kevin Lee via unanimous decision.
Clint Hester defeated Andy Enz via unanimous decision.
Rashid Magomedov defeated Tony Martin via unanimous decision.
Neil Magny defeated Gasan Umalatov via unanimous decision.

Several of the players on that 72 team told me that they think the feat will never be matched; maybe they are right.
Kudos to that truly special and unique team, and a pox on you that deny them their place as one of the - if not the - best teams ever.
It's hard to believe that nearly 40 years have passed; and this dolphins team feels like its in an alternate universe rather than being connected to "greatness"

The thought of trying to slow or neutralize New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham is already giving the Chicago Bears' nightmares, writes Chicago Sun-Times reporter Mark Potash.
Chicago Tribune blogger Steve Rosenbloom writes that the Chicago Bears should try to live up to the "bunch of thugs" title Detroit Lions vice-chairman Bill Ford, Jr. put on them because it might mean better results.
While Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler shows flashes of brilliance, he lacks the consistency to be an elite quarterback on the level of Drew Brees, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Rick Morrissey writes.
Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall misses second day of practice with injured foot, Fansided writer David Miniel reports.

Kid Frost
Kid Frost (born Arturo Molina, Jr. on May 31, 1964 in East Los Angeles, California), now known as Frost, is a popular and the first widely recognized Mexican American rapper.
Frost spent parts of his childhood on military bases in Guam and Germany. He began rapping in 1982. As an MC, he named himself Kid Frost as a tribute to Ice T whom he often battled. He soon joined Uncle Jamm's Army. As a solo artist, his earliest 12" electro rap records came out on Electrobeat Records and Baja Records.
In the late 1980s, Kid Frost moved to Virgin Records. Virgin released his biggest hit, "La Raza", the first mainstream single from a Chicano rapper which focused on Mexican-American pride. His debut album, "Hispanic Causing Panic" was released in 1990, A.L.T. appeared as a guest rapper on the CD. He also established a Latin rap supergroup called Latin Alliance which released their only self-titled album in 1991. His second album, "East Side Story" was released in 1992. MC Eiht, A.L.T. and Ganxta Ridd from the Boo-Yaa TRIBE appeared as guest rappers.
In 1995, Frost dropped the "Kid" from his nickname and was signed by Ruthless Records, Eazy E's label (distributed by Relativity). "Smile Now Die Later" was released in 1995. Above The Law were featured as guest rappers, alongside A.L.T., O.Genius and Kokane. Rick James appears on Frost's version of "Mary Jane". His second album for Ruthless, "When Hell.A.Freezes Over", was released in 1997. Ice T, Scoop, O.Genius and Domino appeared as guest rappers.
In 1999, Frost moved to a small independent label, Celeb-entertainment. His first album for Celeb-entertainment, "This Was Then This Is Now Vol. I" was released in 1999. Kurupt, King T, Baby Bash, Jay Tee, Jayo Felony, Xzibit, B-Legit, and Cameosis were featured on the CD. "That Was Then This Is Now Vol. II" was released in 2000. Frank V., Clika One, Jay Tee, Baby Bash and other guest rappers were featured on the CD.
2002's "Still Up In This Shit!", released by Koch/Thump Records, featured more Latin-tinged raps and G-Funk tracks as well as a hidden bonus rock track, "Cannabis". Mellow Man Ace, Daz Dillinger, Baby Bash, A.L.T., Nino Brown, Cisco and other guest rappers appeared, and one track featured the group Tierra.
"Welcome To Frost Angeles" released, which was produced almost entirely by Frost and his son, Scoop De'Ville. Only the intro is produced by Binky Womack, and Philly Blunt co-produced one track. Guest rappers Cameosis, Genovese, Jay Tee and others also appear. Frost signed to Low Profile Records and released his album "Till The Wheels Fall Off" in 2006. It had guest appearances by Baby Bash, Scoop De'Ville, Mr. Sancho, and other artists signed to Low Profile Records.
Frost's earliest tracks are part of the Electro Funk sub-genre of Hip-Hop music, later on he was influenced by Gangsta rap and G-funk, as well as pioneering Hip-Hop with Latin influences ("La Raza", "Ya Estuvo").
Frost also performed music for films: "Bite the Bullet (Theme from Gunmen)" for the 1993 film "Gunmen" (in which he briefly appears), and - together with Ice T - "Tears Of A Mother" for the film "No Mothers Crying, No Babies Dying". He also appeared as an actor and as himself in several films, as well as voicing the character T-Bone Mendez and contributing his song "La Raza" in the 2004 video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on West Coast hip hop radio station Radio Los Santos. Furthermore, his track "No Sunshine" appeared in the movie "American Me".
Frost was named Vice President of the Music Division of Goldmark Industries on August 30, 2006.

HOME l GHOST RIDER (1990) l PREVIOUS l NEXT
That night, in their cemetery hangout, the rest of the Cypress Pool Jokers argue about what they should do about Paulie being kidnapped. Before they can reach a decision, the doors to the mausoleum break open, revealing Deathwatch and Blackout, holding the kidnapped Paulie. Meanwhile, at the Fisk building, the Kingpin tells his aide to personally make sure that the canisters are returned to him, and that the girl they kidnapped is released. She can identify Deathwatch, and the Kingpin wants to take care of him himself.
Back at the cemetery, Dan watches as Deathwatches men search for the last canister. When Paulie still claims not to remember where she hid it, Blackout murders one of her friends. Immediately after, Dan notices the gas cap on his motorcycle start to glow. Deathwatch explains to Paulie why the canisters are so important: when all three are opened simultaneously, a mutated biotoxin will be released into the air, killing and maiming everybody in the country within weeks. With his unique sensitivity to death, Deathwatch will be in ecstasy over the mass murder. Suddenly, the Kingpin's aide arrives, demanding that Deathwatch hand the canisters and the girl over to him. When Deathwatch refuses to comply, a virtual army of armed men emerge from the shadows, completely surrounding the ninjas. Not willing to experience death himself, Deathwatch orders Blackout to hand over the canisters. Not sticking around to see the end of the confrontation, Deathwatch and several of his men back away and leave the cemetery. Blackout, on the other hand, murders the Kingpin's aide and runs into the cemetery, determined to keep and release the canisters himself. Suddenly, as they walk past a crypt, Paulie remembers that that is where she hid the last canister. Blackout finds it, but before he can release it, the Ghost Rider appears and tackles him. As Paulie watches on, she is grabbed from behind and dragged into one of the mausoleums.
Still holding onto the canisters during their struggle, Blackout manages to get free of the Ghost Rider's hold. He manages to open one of the canisters, but is again tackled by the demon biker. Blackout digs his mechanical fangs into the Ghost Rider's neck, but is immediately set aflame by mystical hellfire, which also fuses the three canisters together, making them worthless. His face hideously scarred, Blackout escapes into the darkness of the cemetery, vowing revenge on the Ghost Rider for what has happened to him.
At dawn, the Kingpin says that he has saved the city from terrorists, and that his enemies the Punisher and Daredevil would be amused by that thought. Having learned of the Ghost Rider's involvement in stopping the plot, the Kingpin decides that he should keep an eye on the vigilante. Meanwhile, at the hospital, Dan tells his unconscious sister that he's beginning to believe the Ghost Rider to be a force of good, and asks who is he to deprive the innocents of justice.
Paulie's mysterious abduction into the shadows of the mausoleum is but the first of such kidnappings. Several other young people, from teenagers to babies, will be taken over the next several issues until finally coming to a resolution in Ghost Rider (1990) # 9.
This issue was reprinted in the Ghost Rider: Resurrected and Ghost Rider: Danny Ketch Classic vol. 1 trade paperbacks.
Howard Mackie spends a lot of time in this issue with the various villains of the story - Deathwatch, Blackout, and the Kingpin - and the various double crosses between the three of them. When he kept things simple, like he did in this opening arc, Mackie was good at writing villains and making them truly fearsome and horrific. Deathwatch's easy assault on the police station at the beginning is a perfect example, which shows that - while he prefers to work through aides and underlings - Deathwatch himself is a man to be feared. Blackout is obviously the stand-out character here, though, as this is the issue that completely changed his motivations following his disastrous attempt to kill the Ghost Rider. Mackie's follow-through with Blackout over the next few years (up through # 25) was a great illustration of character evolution. From this point on, Blackout grew to be the Ghost Rider's true arch-nemesis, even more so than Deathwatch, and the things the villain does in later issues all spring from the climactic moment here.
My favorite part of this issue comes during the cemetery stand-off between Deathwatch, Blackout, and the Kingpin's men. The way the Kingpin's representative outmaneuvered Deathwatch was great, and Deathwatch's subsequent departure and willingness to accept defeat gracefully helped to further his characterization. He's ruthless and evil, yes, but he's not stupid - unlike Blackout, who paid the price for not backing down like his employer.
Dan's character continues to grow and change as the series progresses, as well. Compare the Dan in issue # 1, who needed protection from his sister when the Cypress Pool Jokers ambushed them in the cemetery, to the Dan that's showed here. The Ghost Rider is already starting to influence him, causing him to rush off to the cemetery while saying "I can't stand by and do nothing!". The dramatic changes in his life obviously have Danny scared out of his mind, but it's also instilling in him more courage than he had before.
Javier Saltares and Mark Texeira continue their excellent job as the series' artistic duo, and each issue they never fail to deliver at least one "whoa" moment that makes you sit up and take notice while reading. In this issue, that moment is when Blackout feels the fury of the Ghost Rider's hellfire, causing an explosion that is rendered beautifully by the pencil and ink team. Another part of the book's stellar look comes with the colors of Gregory Wright, who adds the great little touch of stark darkness whenever Blackout appears on panel.
All in all, the first storyarc, and it's conclusion in this issue, are a raging success. This is the prime example of why the Ghost Rider series became such a smash hit in its first year.

EQ reset after shut down?
Hi everyone,
My EQ resets every time I turn the player off. When I turn the player on and play a song it displays that it is on the same EQ setting before the turn off but when I switch the EQ to another and back to the one it was on originally there is definite sound difference. For example, before I turn off the player the EQ is set to 'Pop'. I then turn the player off and then on and play a song. I look at the EQ settings and it is still set to 'Pop' however when I select another EQ(without clicking) and return to 'Pop', 'Pop' sounds different to how it once was and sounds more like 'Normal'. It is quite hard to explain, but I wondered if you experience this problem? I guess it's quite hard to pick up and people may not be aware of the issue. If, of course it is widespread issue (nevertheless, it may not be and only I am experiencing this issue) then hopefully it will be solved in the next firmware update.

I have noticed EQ sound problem too. This does not seem to be specific to the VIEW, my e200did this also. This has been an issue for me since the introduce the Custom EQ with the e200.
I mostly notice this when using the custom EQ settings. (View and e200)
Select Custom EQ, play something with multiple songs. You will notice that the first song sounds the way you EQed it, now skip to the next song, it still sounds equalized but somehow slightly muffled. While the second song is playing, go to the EQ section, now without selecting anything, just quickly scroll from Custom EQ to Classical and then back to Custom. You should notice that it now sounds louder and equalized to how you set it.
It weird, it still sounds like its been equalized but with a decrease in Db.
Its almost as if the EQ needs to be constantly refreshed before each song.
I am not 100% sure but my VIEW seems to mabey do this less frequently since the new update. As an example the custom EQ settings seem stay when I am playing a few songs rather than just one song.
Hey, it could be worse, we could just be stuck with crappy presets like the iPoo
I mentioned this to Sandisk once but never head back from them.
Lets hope this does get resolved, cause I am kinda tierd of having to refresh the EQ all the time. Of course sometimes I don't notice it at all.
Take it easy,
