A perfect family vacation turns into a life-or-death nightmare.
Only an hour out of port, the Dunne family's summer getaway to paradise is already turning into the trip from hell. Carrie, the eldest, has thrown herself off the side of the boat in a bid for attention. Sixteen-year-old Mark is getting high belowdecks. And Ernie, their ten-year-old brother, is nearly catatonic. It's shaping up to be the worst vacation ever.
Katherine Dunne had hoped this trip would bring back the togetherness they'd lost when her husband died four years earlier. Maybe if her new husband, a high-powered Manhattan attorney, had been able to postpone his trial and join them it would all have been okay....
Suddenly, a disaster hits–and it's perfect. Faced with real danger, the Dunnes rediscover the meaning of family and pull together in a way they haven't in a long time. But this catastrophe is just a tiny taste of the danger that lurks ahead: someone wants to make sure that the Dunne family never makes it out of paradise alive.
With whiplash plot twists, speedboat pacing, and an eye for the evil that can lie behind even the most gorgeous setting, James Patterson delivers Sail–the wettest, most explosive ocean adventure since Jaws.

Part One | THE FAMILY (UN)DUNNE
Chapter 1
"I'M CRAZY, right? I mean, I have to be absolutely, certifiably mad to take this trip! This sailboat extravaganza with my family! And Jake!"
I've had this same thought for weeks, but today is the first time I'm saying it out loud. Screaming it, actually, at the top of my lungs. Thankfully, Mona's Upper West Side office used to be a recording studio for a talk-show host. The walls are soundproof, or so Mona tells me.
The way I'm acting, they should also be padded.
"No, you're not crazy," says Mona, being her usual calm self. "On the other hand, are you biting off more than you can chew? Perhaps?"
"But don't I always?"
"Yes," she says, "for as long as I've known you, anyway. Don't say the number."
Twenty-seven years, to be exact–ever since Mona and I met during our freshman orientation at Yale and discovered we were both closet General Hospital fans and harbored ridiculous crushes on Blackie, the character played by a very young–and incredibly cute–John Stamos.
Wow, did I just date myself, or what?
Anyway, for the past two months Mona has been more than my best friend and the sister I never had. She's also been Dr. Mona Elien, my psychiatrist.
Yes. I know. On paper, that arrangement might not be a good idea. But who lives on paper?
Not me.
I live on caffeine, adrenaline, and relentless sixteen-hour shifts at Lexington Hospital, where I'm a heart surgeon. I just didn't have the time or patience for the get-to-knowyou phase of therapy. Besides, there's no one's opinion I trust more than Mona's. There's no one I trust more, period.
"It's not that I'm weighing in against the sailboat trip, Katherine. In fact, I think it's a great idea," she says. "My only concern is how much hope you're pinning on it, the pressure you seem to be putting on yourself and the kids. What if it doesn't work?"
"That's easy," I say. "I'll just kill them and myself and put us all out of our collective misery."
"Well," says Mona, straight-faced as always, "it's good to know you have a Plan B."
The two of us crack up. How many other shrinks could I do that with?
Mona's right, though. I am pinning a lot of hope on this sailing trip, maybe too much.
Only I can't help it.
That's what can happen when your family is falling to pieces before your eyes and you believe that it's all your fault.

Barbara Goldsmith (Author)
Through family interviews, diaries, letters, and workbooks that had been sealed for over sixty years, Barbara Goldsmith reveals the Marie Curie behind the myth—an all-too-human woman struggling to balance a spectacular scientific career, a demanding family, the prejudice of society, and her own passionate nature. Obsessive Genius is a dazzling portrait of Curie, her amazing scientific success, and the price she paid for fame.
The best-selling, "excellent . . . poignant—and scientifically lucid— portrait" (New York Times Book Review) of the remarkable Marie Curie.... "Never a dull moment. . . . Goldsmith leads the reader through a wonderland of facts with just the right blend of science and story. In the end, the mystery of the great Madame [Curie] remains, but a deeper understanding of what she went through as a woman and a scientist shines as strong as her radium."—San Francisco Chronicle "Bestselling historian Goldsmith incisively chronicles [Curie's] intensely dramatic life. . . . Her powerful portrait reveals a woman of great passion, genius, and pain who changed the world."—Booklist, starred review

The actors were all quite competent except the lead male (the intellectual presidential candidate). The venue is small- no bad seats. But the play is very dated, and there was no attempt to make it more relevant.

I'd actually give this a 3.5. It was still in previews - in a couple of weeks no doubt some of the rough edges will be ironed out. The play is a little dated but especially those who remember 1960s politics it will be entertaining.

On April 2nd, 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy had made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with New York Magazine calling the event "a marvel of pure craft" and TIME magazine lamenting "we may never dance again." An intimate portrait of Murphy as he navigates both the personal and professional ramifications of his decision.

I want to upgrade my hp compaq d530 from 1.2GB to 4GB of RAM. I look at the specs: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11632_ca/11632_ca.html and saw that I could get up to 4GB of RAM that is DDR, PC3200. So, I got 4GB of RAM.

When I installed all 4 I get 5 beeps and 5 red blinks which I've concluded means I'm having a memory problem. When I switch back to 1.2 GB it works fine. I was wondering, am I doing something wrong?

If you are old enough to have fond memories of that authentic decade we all know as The 80s, then you might just be a fan of the charm bracelet. It still pains me to think about all the time, effort and excitement that went into personalizing my own little plastic possession, only to leave it at ol' Julie Whatshername's house. (Julie: If you're reading this, do the right thing.)
Perhaps you are like me and find yourself expressing your personality through bold accessory choices, leaving the power of dance to the pros on So You Think You Can Dance. I hope you find at least one charm that represents you (they've definitley upgraded in the past 20 years), but if you don't, then just enjoy this little trip down memory lane.

The Poet Lives in My Memory as I Tour The Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site
Ever since I was a teenager, I have been enamored with the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe, one of America's most famous poets. As a teenager I had memorized much of his poems such as The Raven, parts of which I still remember even in my old age.
When going for my walks I often recite such verses as this to myself:
"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'"
Today I had a feeling of elation as with my grandson, Laith, a budding star in the engineering world, I walked through the doors of Edgar Allan Poe's National Historic Site - the former home of the poet-writer extraordinaire, located in the Spring Garden neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
My grandson described the atmosphere well when he remarked: "Now that we are entering Poe's world you must be happy!"
"Indeed!" I grinned as I proceeded to take pictures of Poe's mementoes, which consisted mostly of papers, photos, and writings relating to the author and his world. For me the place had an aura of poetry and stories imbued with a touch of a sinister that had inspired the initiation of the modern detective fiction story.
One of the world's most renowned but controversial and unhappiest of the famous world poets, Poe was born in 1809 in Boston, Massachusetts, to parents who were stage actors.
In his short life span of forty years he became the most prolific literary journalist in U.S. history and was to become the master of hair-raising tales that pushed the boundaries which divide life from death, and a world-famous poet of his time.
A master of the macabre, his works first became well-known in Europe before his fame spread to America.
Poe's life was not normal. It was full of tragedies. His father left the family when he was very young and his mother died when he was only a tot of three. A Richmond merchant, John Allan took Poe as one of his own children.
Poe took on the merchant family name as his middle name. However in later years he quarrelled with his beneficiary and broke up the relationship.
At one time Poe enlisted in the U.S. army then entered West Point, but was discharged four years later due to neglect of duty. Before this event and until his death, alcoholism, drugs and gambling caused many of the problems in his life.
At times he suffered from depression and even bouts of madness. Perhaps these afflictions gave him the inspiration for a number of his renowned works such as The Black Cat and The Pit and the Pendulum.
Poe was a man of the world of his day. He lived in England for a time and was partly educated in that country before returning to the U.S. to continue his studies at the University of Virginia.
His family life was no less tragic than the other incidents of his life. In his teens Poe fell in love with a girl named Elmira Royster and they became engaged, but her parents broke off the engagement and she was married to another man.
In 1836 Poe married his 13-year-old cousin Virginia Clemm. She became a virtual invalid six years after marriage then in 1847 died of tuberculosis. Poe, mourning her death, eulogized her in his poem Annabel Lee which included these lines:
"For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee…"
In 1848 Poe became engaged to Sarah Helen Whitman, but she broke off the engagement two days before the wedding because Poe did not keep his promise to give up alcohol. In 1949 he once again became engaged to Elmira who now was the widow Mrs. Shelton but Poe died before they were married.
It was early in life that the poetic abilities of Poe were first noticed. At that age he could recite verses of poetry. Later, one of his teachers in Richmond wrote that 'Poe was a born poet who wrote genuine poetry'.
Poe wrote stories and poetry galore. One of his most famous poems is The Raven – for me, the most important of poems. A dark poem of lost love, it became a national sensation and brought him fame and recognition throughout the world.
The poem appeared and was reprinted in newspapers and periodicals across the country. As for me it is the poem that has always been with me from my youthful years.
Even in death, Poe was controversial. On his way to New York via Baltimore and Philadelphia from Richmond on October 7, 1849, Poe died in Baltimore and was buried in that city. Today some in Philadelphia think that his remains should be transferred to the city where he lived from 1837 to 1844 - the most productive years of his life.
During this span of his career Poe wrote some of his renowned stories relating to horror and the supernatural. He published 31 stories during his time in Philadelphia, from among which were: The Gold-Bug , The Tell-Tale Heart and The Murders in the Rue Morgue. Also, in this period he fulfilled his dream of having his own magazine.
However, even with all his literary connections with the city there is no indication that the moving of his remains will happen soon. Poe will rest in Baltimore while Philadelphia will continue to glorify his name and works.
All the stories about Poe and his works came to mind as we examined the mementoes of that giant of literary figure, reflecting on his far from happy life. The pleasant lady greeting the visitors at Poe's Philadelphia home seemed to be truly enamored with his works. As she guided us she flowed with information about the poet and his eventful short life.
After stopping at the tiny gift shop located next to the entrance we left the house which has some additions added since the time of Poe. I felt fulfilled after the visit. Outside the door, I turned to my grandson, now a handsome young man in his early 30s, reciting this verse as I took a photo of a large statue of a raven on the outside of the site - a reminder of Edgar Allan Poe and his poetry:
"And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!"

Now Crocs come in many color and comfortable styles for kids, women and men.

It can be worn for various occasions, such as but not limited to going to brunch, shopping or going out after work.

Crocs aren't just plastic clogs that look like bulky boat shoes, because there's a great selection of women's, men's and kids. Kids love Crocs in the summer, as they're a great alternative to bare feet, don't require shoe laces and they allow feet to breath. Adults enjoy Crocs because they're more comfortable than flip flops, as they have arch support, and cushion. Also, the holes in the Crocs allow air in and prevent feet from sweating.

The existence of blue straggler stars (BSSs) in dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) is still an open question. In fact, many BSS candidates have been observed in the Local Group dSphs, but it is unclear whether they are real BSSs or young stars. Shedding light on the nature of these BSS candidates is crucial in order to understand the star formation history of dSphs. In this paper, we consider BSS candidates in Sculptor and Fornax. In Fornax, there are strong hints that the BSS population is contaminated by young stars, whereas in Sculptor there is no clear evidence of recent star formation. We derive the radial and luminosity distribution of BSS candidates from wide field imaging data extending beyond the nominal tidal radius of these galaxies. The observations are compared with the radial distribution of BSSs expected from dynamical simulations. In Sculptor, the radial distribution of BSS candidates is consistent with that of red horizontal branch (RHB) stars and is in agreement with theoretical expectations for BSSs generated via mass transfer in binaries. On the contrary, in Fornax, the radial distribution of BSS candidates is more concentrated than that of all the considered stellar populations. This result supports the hypothesis that most of BSS candidates in Fornax are young stars, and this is consistent with previous studies.

Clone Club, rejoice! Have a dance party! Go out and get some Jell-O and sharp pencils! "Orphan Black" will be back for a third season, BBC America announced on Wednesday, July 9, so be ready for more clone goodness – a lot more.
Yes, the pickup took longer than expected, given the show's popularity and ability to step it up to the next level with every episode, but worry no more. "Orphan Black" season 3 is coming. The award-winning drama, co-created by Graeme Manson and John Fawcett and starring Tatiana Maslany will be back with 10 more episodes in Spring 2015. The show became the first ever ad-supported drama to double its ratings from season 1 to season 2 in A25-54 and 18-49 in Live+7, and the season 2 finale earned a series high in Live+7 among total viewers (1.376 million).
Those aren't the only impressive numbers. The Live+3 lift from Live+SD for the season 2 premiere is still in the number one spot among all TV drama season premieres so far for the 2013-14 TV season, and the series' second season is BBC America's second best series ever in A25-54 in Live+3, C3 and Live+7, behind "Doctor Who" season 7. Also, not only did people tune in to their TVs to catch the show, they also turned to iTunes, with episodes 6-9 reaching the number one spot and the first five episodes claiming the second spot on the overall TV episodes chart within 24 hours of their premieres.
But wait, there's more. The BBC America hit was the number one TV show on Twitter and Tumblr the day of premiere, the number one ad-supported cable drama on Twitter for the week. BBC America was also the first network to live-tweet a TV show with animated GIFs and shared those timed to the season finale, plus the show's Tumblr had over 750,000 notes from almost 140,000 fans this season. In other words, "Orphan Black" is really popular.
The show earned a Peabody Award this year and Maslany has received back-to-back Critics' Choice Awards for Best Actress, a TCA Award for Individual Achievement, a Young Hollywood Award, a Gracie Award and Golden Globe and People's Choice nominations.
Are you ready for more clones? What are you hoping to see in "Orphan Black" season 3? What questions do you have after the first two seasons?

TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE; 19 June 1827; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18270619-TC-AC-01; CL 4:232-233.
21 Comley Bank, Tuesday [19 June 1827].
My Dear Alick——Not without some difficulty I have contrived to raise the wind; and here you have a receipt for another Hundred Pounds, which as I understand it, you have only to present at the office of the British Linen Company Bank, and indorse (I suppose with your own name, but they will direct you at the Bank, for perhaps there is no indorsation needed), in order to get the cash paid down to you. … On the whole the place must before all things be stocked; so I think you ought to proceed forthwith to the outlay (in cattle, etc.) of this sum; at least so soon as you see any right opportunity at Bucklivie1 or elsewhere. …
If you want a little more money for that purpose, I think I can still command it even on the spur of the instant: but unless these hills be a better bargain than I wot of, you will not need much more, I think, immediately.
I grieve to think that the House must be standing untouched, and the season so rapidly hastening away. I am making what speed I can; and I think by the end of next week I shall be about ready for meeting you, perhaps shall have already met you. …
I reckon myself about half done with this Jean Paul Friedrich Richter; which I regret to say, pleases me only indifferently the length it is gone. So soon as it is done I shall have nothing more to detain me; unless perhaps the correcting of the proofs, which however can be sent after me. This is not to be the great "Article";2 which does not follow till next Number of the Review. We had a call from Jeffrey the other day, in person; one of the daintiest little fellows in this country. I will describe him at large when we meet. …
Will you write to me as soon as possible, and at full length: we shall want much to hear from you before setting out for the South; and much is to be considered which I have no time for considering. Employ your own head and hand, my good Alick, and get us nicely through these entanglements. I think there is no danger of our speculation [not] prospering. I often wish I were at the Craig even now; for living here, I do not think I shall ever be healthy. Perhaps I shall never be healthy anywhere; but at all events I will try all things; never cease "though I should go to Jerusalem seeking health, and die by the road!"3— Courage! Courage!— Present my best brotherly affection to Mary, of whom I hear so much good; write to me the first hour you have leisure "a broad letter."4— Believe me always, your true Brother,
T. Carlyle.

The most popular opera of all returns in one of The Royal Opera's best loved stagings, regularly revived since its opening night in 1974 and now being seen for the very last time. John Copley's keen stagecraft and loving attention to period and dramatic detail make his production a masterpiece of realism, while Julia Trevelyan Oman's designs evoke the atmosphere of 19th century Paris. Several of today's greatest opera stars return to bid farewell to this sublime staging, notably Anna Netrebko as Mimì, and Joseph Calleja as her lover, Rodolfo. Israeli conductor Dan Ettinger conducts one of Puccini's most emotional and melodious scores, in a revival that promises to go down in Royal Opera history.

wudda shame THAT would be. lol
who is the effin clown anyway - and why are you baiting him?
its a waste of time = and is not helpful oif that the point of these boards?
Why be so negative on a person. Everyone has their own views. Warning being positive could be contagious just as negative can be.
How can ANY of you be investing today without the effin' clown's "guidance". He'd be the first to tell you that you shouldn't do that. lol
So far so good. Keep your fingers crossed. This has GOT to be killing the poor loser! lol

We are thrilled to report that Mayor Ed Lee and City officials recognized Outside Lands' efforts in adopting sustainable practices.
Called "one of America's best," the one of a kind green oriented festival transforms Golden Gate Park into a mecca for lovers of music, art and food.
Yet its strong green approach is what takes it tot the next level.
"The Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival will show that San Francisco can host world class events while protecting our environment," said Mayor Ed Lee.
Eco Lands has been an example in leading the way with its urban gardening workshops, local community organizations, national NGO's, a farmer's market, locally sourced food vendors and a refillable water station.
"Working closely with Another Planet Entertainment, we are making sure that the Outside Lands event is a sustainable one that supports green jobs, respects our neighborhoods, and is an event that reflects our City values," adds Mayor Lee.
This year, Outside Lands has partnered with the San Francisco Department of the Environment's Textile Reuse and Recycling Initiative to make sure that leftover textiles get put to good use.
After the festival, leftover shirts, sweaters, and other items will be collected and contributed to the local textile market.
All these will be reused and recycled, preventing waste and promoting local jobs.
This important zero waste effort is being managed in partnership with Clean Vibes, Recology and Goodwill.
"As an event producer, we hold ourselves to the highest environmental standards, and Outside Lands is no exception," said Gregg Perloff, President and CEO of Another Planet Entertainment, the event's long-time producer.
In fact, Outside Lands aims to leave Golden Gate Park-and the city itself-in a better condition than it found it.
Another Planet Entertainment has coordinated with San Francisco Recreation and Park Department to conduct litter pick-up and park preservation efforts.
"We could not have a better partner than Another Planet," said Phil Ginsburg, General Manger of the Recreation and Park Department, "They fully believe in and embrace the local and sustainable ethos, as is clear by this latest effort," Ginsburg ads.
Perhaps the sustainable feature that attendees will interact with most is San Francisco's iconic zero waste bins.
Like the City of San Francisco itself, Outside Lands has long celebrated a high landfill diversion rate (last year the event celebrated an 84% diversion rate).
Event organizers have once again hired Clean Vibes, an event waste diversion company, to help the festival recycle and compost as much as possible.
Clean Vibes has hired graduates from the San Francisco Department of Environment's green careers program, Environment Now, to supplement their recycling and composting efforts. "In San Francisco, zero waste and green jobs go hand-in-hand," said Josh Arce, President of the San Francisco Environment Commission.

This is so cute! I will be moving to rainy Ketchikan Alaska later this year, and I've been dreaming about how to make my house "totally turquoise" (a bright escape from the rain....) While I'll probably only have 1 or 2 rooms painted turquoise,every room will have turquoise as an accent in some form... this sunny cottage is a perfect example of what i've been thinking. Thank you!!

Hello again, I stopped by your blog the other night and left you a message, you may not remember who I am, I blog at The Gilded Cherub. I came across something today and I was wondering if you would like to have it. I dont know if you sew but if you do this would be wonderful. What I have is several yards of turquoise trim with large pom poms on it they are about the size of a large marshmellow... LOL I know that sounds funny but it was the only thing I could think of. So if you would like it please let me know. You can send me your email address then I can get your address and mail it out to you. I know this sounds strange but I want someone who would like it to have it. I am not selling this I am giving it to you so please let me know if you would like it, I would love to see what you can make with it.

^Hey Lorene!^ Nice to see you here at HoT! I've been a follower of Erin's blog for a while now, so good to see we really ARE twin-souls and love the same things! That is so kind of you to offer the trim to Erin! She's our Queen of Turquoise, you know!
Erin, I love this cottage! Finally, a place that looks LIVED IN! The other rooms featured here are always so SO beautiful, but it makes me wonder where people put their daily life "stuff" in such pristine places. This place looks like a real person lives here instead of a designer. I just bought some Chinese-style lanterns! I am loving her Irish dishes, there is a similar type of ware from England (can't remember the name - also blue-striped) that is to die for but is super expensive if you are buying it vintage. This is such a bright, sweet cottage. I am dreaming of a place like this for me and my three kitties.

Last year, when Chelsea was still Bradley, and Bradley was still on trial, Manning was named honorary grand marshal for San Francisco Pride's parade. That honor was quickly revoked when those who think of Manning as a traitor started foaming at the mouths. That prevented any backlash against the event, but the debate continued.
Parade organizer Gary Virginia said Friday that Chelsea Manning was chosen to make amends for last year's controversy, saying that decision was mishandled. Unfortunately, the debate still isn't over. There are a surprising amount of people who feel that government whistle-blowing should be considered a criminal act.
The ring leader behind last year's backlash, Sean Sala, has wasted no time in releasing a statement:
"As the one who lead the campaign and national boycott last year against San Francisco Pride when they chose to make Chelsea Manning (former Bradley Manning) their Grand Marshall; I learned yesterday that they have once again chose to do so. I could make a statement grand and tailored for the decision but the bottom-line is this: after the national backlash last year, the fact that SF Pride would do this once again is just astounding. They will reap what they sow. You reap lawlessness, don't expect it to help you in the end. They have once again spit in the face of the LGBT Military community, all in the name of senseless ideology. Once again, SHAME on San Francisco Pride."
Of course that is coming from someone who considers Manning a criminal. In a debate between Sala and Dan Choi last year, Sala claimed that Manning's disobedience doesn't compare to Choi's disobedience because Choi helped advance the LGBT movement while Manning's offenses have nothing to do with the cause. Choi's response is golden.
"Thanks Sean, but I really did nothing for our movement, beyond uncovering what was then, a controversial and illegal truth. In fact this is what heroes like Commander Zoe Dunning did when she courageously came out. It is in fact the unveiling of truth which defines us as a people of integrity. Often that unveiling goes against cultural traditions, but some are willing to sacrifice for a greater good. Those individuals, whether Dunning, Manning, Sala or Choi are painted many names, but history has proven that tough truth-telling is the only action that moves us forward. But it is more than LGBT, it is indeed the Code that unites us beyond our own identities. That is why, I believe, SF Pride initially honored PFC Manning."
We are, unfortunately, living in a world where revealing atrocities committed by officially sanctioned government aggressors is considered the deviant behavior. The atrocities themselves are considered a part of war that we would just rather not speak of. Don't stop that behavior, don't criticize it, just pretend there's nothing going on.
Sean Sala may live in the left-wing fringe of society most of the time, but his military brain-washing hasn't worn off, yet. When it does, perhaps he'll understand that when you start to crack from the pressure of keeping secrets, you start to question why the secrets are necessary. Then you start to see that a lot of those secrets are meant to protect our integrity rather than our security.
Then you start to wonder why we can't just act with more integrity instead.

Here I was, on my way to one of the biggest water and wastewater trade shows in the nation, and there was no government entity set aside solely to protect and disseminate information on one of our country's most important and scarce resources: water.
A lot has happened in the past year since we named our first 50 Trendsetters. The transportation bill passed (finally!). The Department of Homeland Security saw a changing of the guard. The standoff in Iraq continued. And 50 more people made a huge impact on the public works industry.

College Hockey:Season Preview: Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks
It Ain't No Bull!
You'll pardon Mike Kemp if he seems effusive.
In their first year of league play, the Mavericks–then a program just three years old–defeated or tied every team in the CCHA at least once, and finished second to Michigan State in the tourney's Championship game.
"Our experience at this point in time in the CCHA has been overwhelming for our fans, for our program, our players, staff," says Kemp. "We feel it's been a tremendous move for our team and our school. We benefited greatly from our membership in this conference and are really very, very appreciative of all the members in this conference who saw to it that we could be added."
If Northern coach Rick Comley weren't such a stand-up guy, maybe he'd be rethinking his welcome of the Mavs into the league.
To get to The Joe, Nebraska Omaha beat Northern Michigan in three games in Marquette. The Mavericks then further stunned the college hockey world when they eliminated the Wolverines from the CCHA Semifinals–by a score of 7-4.
"Last year was a very special year for our program, getting into the league and having our first taste of nightly conference competition," says Kemp. "It was quite an experience for our guys and one that we learned from…and benefited from.
"We look at this year as an extension of that learning experience. We still haven't been to every building in the league yet…and as this season goes it will be one of great experience for us, increasing our learning curve."
Of course, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. While the Mavs haven't yet been to every rink in the league, they've played every team–and they'll no longer have the element of surprise on their side.
Goaltender Dan Ellis is a star, without having played a game in a UNO sweater.
The rookie from the Omaha Lancers notched 11 shutouts en route to posting a 2.25 goals against average and .925 save percentage. Ellis–one of the highest-rated players in college hockey's 2000-01 rookie class–was named the USHL's Player of the Year last season.
"In goal, it will be an interesting transition," says Kemp. "Rodney McLeod played some last year…but played sparingly down the stretch will hopefully be stepping in and filling the void left by graduating senior Kendall Sidoruk, but he'll be heavily challenged by incoming freshman Dan Ellis…and also redshirt freshman Brian Haaland.
"Hopefully, there will be good competition in goal, and look for that to be a strength of our team."
Heavily challenged? Hopefully? Move over, Red Berenson; there's another master of understatement in the league.
McLeod (3.34 GAA, .898 SV% CCHA) won't see much action if Ellis is as good as his hype. Neither will Haaland.
Although the Mavericks are led by a large senior class, it's youngsters who star on this squad. Sophomore David Brisson (17-15–32) is the top returning scorer, followed by senior Allan Carr (11-20–31), and sophomore defenseman Greg Zanon (3-26–29). Junior Jeff Hoggan (16-9–25) was second on the team in goal production last season.
Defending the Tribe
UNO returns most of its defense. "We have a good solid nucleus," says Kemp, "although I don't know that we'll be spectacular."
— UNO head coach Mike Kemp
Aside from the CCHA All-Rookie Zanon, several seniors will contribute from the Maverick blueline. Ed Cassin, Josh Lampman, John Rosso, and Joe Yureko will be counted on to improve in front of the rookie Ellis.
Ten of Cassin's 11 points came in league play. Lampman–appropriately named for being the last of the former UIC Flames in the league–returns to action after sitting out last season with an injury. Rosso (1-2–3, -1) was plus or even in 27 of 38 games he played last season, and the Mavs consider Yurecko (0-2–2, 0) last year's most improved player.
A Lifeline, Please
"We have our largest senior class since the program started, and quite honestly our seniors this year [were] our first freshmen class," says Kemp, "so we've yet to have an entire cycle run through in our program."
As charmed as was Nebraska Omaha's inaugural CCHA season, it wasn't perfect. Team defense (-35 overall, -9 in league play) obviously is an area where the Mavs need real improvement, especially if they're going to spend upwards of 20 minutes per game in the box. In conference play, UNO averaged 23.07 penalty minutes per game, while killing those off at the unimpressive rate of 80.1%, 9th in the league.
Additionally, the Maverick power play clicked along at just 15.7% in league matches.
So, all is not perfect on the prairie.
Is That Your Final Answer?
One compelling side story to this year's Maverick squad–aside from the fairy-tale season last year, the potentially incredible rookie goalie, the bard of a coach, and the fact that most people forget they finished below .500 in 1999-2000–is the change of guard in the position of captain.
"Up front, our captain Jason Cupp will be a senior. He looks forward to giving us great leadership," says Kemp. "It's going to be an interesting goal for him in the sense that in the three years that our program has been in existence, we've been led by the same captain for all three years, Jeff Edwards who graduated at the end of last season. So it will be a team in transition with a new style of leadership."
Perhaps the transition won't be limited to a new style of leadership. No one will be caught napping when the Mavs come to town this season.

You can count the number of days left until the "Doctor Who" season 8 premiere, "Deep Breath," airs on one hand, and on Monday, Aug. 18, BBC America released more promotional photos from the episode and interviews with series stars Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman about their characters.
In the "Doctor Who" season 8 premiere, the Doctor arrives in Victorian London and finds a dinosaur rampant in the Thames and a spate of deadly spontaneous combustions. But there's a more important matter to deal with than an alien conspiracy because the Doctor has changed. Who is the new Doctor? How will this change his and Clara's friendship? Before the episode airs, there's a 15-minute live pre-show on BBC America.
The "Deep Breath" photos in the slideshow offer a look at Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman as the Doctor and Clara dressed for Victorian London and on the TARDIS. Plus, get a look at an old friend of the Doctor's, Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh) and the episode's posters.
We've only had a couple of glimpses at the new Doctor, first of his eyes in the 50th anniversary special and then after the regeneration at the end of the Christmas special. Those brief looks haven't really revealed much about what to expect and how things will be different, but now with these interviews from BBC America, we do get a tease.
How is the Doctor going to be different? Coleman described him as "much more removed and not as accessible to humans" and someone who "can't quite accept he's a hero" as he, Clara and the audience get to know him again. Meanwhile, Capaldi called the Doctor someone "who is difficult to keep up with, and who is more alien than perhaps we've seen for a while."
So far, we've only seen Clara's relationship with Matt Smith's Doctor, but how will that change with Capaldi's? According to Coleman, this new Doctor leaves Clara unbalanced and "throws everything up in the air. "She has gone from feeling safe – in moments of danger the Doctor would catch her – and thinking she had it all sussed, then suddenly this new guy has come along who she can't quite access in the same way," she explained. "He's removed, he's not as patient, and he's much more alien and enigmatic. It's really hard for her. Her best friend is a changed person, and it is a very difficult for her to accept that and move forward."
Expect to see "a really changed dynamic" and "a lot of bickering" and to "see the control freak in her really ramp up" because of that. "Even if she wanted to leave she can't, because she's bonded to him," Coleman admitted. "He absolutely infuriates her. He annoys her. No one else can wind her up quite like it – but she just loves him. The friendship is strange and charming."
There is more to Clara than being the Doctor's companion, and we'll be seeing more of that this season. "We see how she lives her life, and how she lives a double life," Coleman previewed. "Spending time at home, being a teacher and living a normal life, and then very separately sneaking off and having these mad, wonderful, magical adventures with the Doctor." She tries to keep her Doctor life separate from her home life, which is going to mean explaining things like showing up "soaking wet with seaweed on her shoulder." In fact, that's where the theme of the series comes in – "lying and why we lie, lying to protect someone you love," Coleman teased.
Part of Clara's life at the school includes Samuel Anderson's character, Danny Pink, a fellow teacher. Coleman described Danny as "charming and lovely" and "that perfect boyfriend" who "is very supportive" but he's kept in the dark about her double life. "She tries to hide it from him while at the same time falling in love. She becomes very torn between the two. It's almost as if she's having an affair, without having an affair, but the lying becomes more and more," the actress said. Clara is going to be "totally torn between the two" men in her life and "trying to have both at once without being able to do it successfully." What will that mean for Clara's relationship with Danny and perhaps even with the Doctor?
"Doctor Who" season 8 premieres Saturday, Aug. 23 at 8 p.m. on BBC America.
