Final Regular Season Home Games
The #7 ranked SCSU Huskies will play their final regular season home games this weekend when the Michigan Tech Huskies come to town. SCSU currently sits in the top spot of the WCHA and needs just 7 more points to secure the conference title this season, a feat they have never accomplished. The Michigan Tech Huskies are currently tied for 10th place in the conference and are not ranked nationally.
This week two SCSU Huskies were again honored by the WCHA for their performance last weekend in Colorado Springs against the Tigers. Freshman, Jonny Brodzinski is the WCHA Rookie of the Week after a four point weekend featuring a trio of goals. Brodzinski has 17 goals and 10 assists this season and leads the team with a +25 on the plus/minus. The other St. Cloud State Husky getting attention this week is sophomore, Andrew Prochno. Prochno is the Defensive player of the week after charting five points in the Colorado College series. He scored a goal and notched an assist in Friday's loss then finished the weekend with three assists in Saturday's 5-2 victory.
Both games of the series can be heard on KVSC. Friday's coverage begins at 7 p.m. with the Jeff Giesen Show, an in-depth look at the post-season action for the SCSU women's hockey team. The puck drops at 7:37 for game one of the series. On Saturday coverage will begin at 6:45 p.m. with a 7:07 drop of the puck. Saturday is Senior Night, so tune in for a special senior salute that takes a look back at the careers of the three seniors on the team; Taylor Johnson, Ben Hanowski and Drew LeBlanc. Follow and participate in the action all weekend long on our Twitter feed.

Published in the Ocala Star-banner on Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 11:04 a.m.Modified on Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 2:44 p.m:
Munroe Regional Medical Center already is getting potential suitors as the Marion County Hospital District trustees continue their process of identifying potential health care partners or hospitals to lease the 400-bed medical facility.
During a trustee meeting Monday, consultants Ponder & Co. told the trustees that a dozen health care systems responded that they were interested in learning more about Munroe, a partnership, or taking control of the hospital.
Hospital District trustees hired Ponder to help in the process. The trustees can pursue these suitors, reject them and instead seek a hospital tax to support Munroe, or continue with the current structure without tax assistance.
The Hospital District trustees are appointed by the County Commission. The district currently leases the hospital to Munroe Regional Health System.
The health care companies that have shown interest are Adventist Health System, Ardent Health Services, Community Health Systems, Health Management Associates, IASIS Healthcare, Tenet, LHP Hospital Group, LifePoint Hospitals, RegionalCare Hospital Partners, Steward Health Care System, UHS and Vanguard Health Systems.
More companies likely will join the list of interested parties, said Dave Atchison, a Ponder executive.
Ponder also submitted to trustees a draft of a letter that consultants will send to potential interested parties about Munroe and a packet of information about the hospital, its market share and its health care focus in the community. The letter will be sent Dec. 20.
"We're not surprised with the level of interest," Atchison said. "We're pleased, quite frankly."
During the meeting Monday, Munroe Regional Board of Directors member Brian O'Connor said he was concerned that the packet Ponder was sending to prospective buyers contained information about Munroe that could be used against the facility by its competitors.
Atchison agreed, saying, "It's not the preferred way to do business."
But Munroe CEO and President Steve Purves said such information was public record and the search had to be transparent.
Munroe is a public hospital. Most of its meetings and many of its documents are open to the public.
In an unrelated issue, Munroe presented a preliminary financial report showing that it generated $3.7 million in revenue over expenses during fiscal 2011. This would mark the second time in five years the hospital generated more money than it spent after paying its bills and reinvesting in the facility. The revenue amount will be finalized after audits next month and could be changed.
Munroe Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce that it has received the 2013/2014 Consumer Choice Award for Marion County by the National Research Corporation. It is the 11th consecutive year that Munroe Regional has won the award. The medical center is one of an elite few, nine hospitals, in the state to have won the award 11 or more years in a row. The award was announced in the Monday, October 21, 2013 edition of Modern Healthcare.More
If there has been one constant throughout the more than half decade of discussion about how to ensure the long-term health of Munroe Regional Medical Center, it is that each step taken by hospital trustees has been slow and steady.More

Workers comp harassment: I am being persecuted for the injury
The injury was diagnosed by MRI and X-Ray to be a spinal compression between L5 & S1 with an associated disc bulge. Spinal decompression therapy is ongoing. During this time I have been on light duty but am still being worked at full wage. For this, I am grateful. Since the injury, I cannot seem to do anything right. I was given three write-ups in one day. I have never received even a minor reprimand prior to this. Recently, I was required to answer for minute discrepancies on documentation (something that no one has ever been called to task for). I am being told that I am on thin ice; that one more write-up and I will be terminated. I really feel that I am being sniped. Is there anything I can do? I feel quite certain that I am being persecuted for the injury. I am a Paramedic and lifting is a part of the job. The patient I injured myself on weighed in excess of 400 lbs..
Thank you for any advice that can be given. William Gardenhire |

re: Workers comp harassment: I am being persecuted for the injury
The Race Relations Act and the Sex Discrimination Act state that "Anything done by a person in the course of his employment shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as done by his employer as well as by him, whether or not it was done with the employers knowledge or approval." In the Court of Appeal in Jones v. Tower Boot Company Limited, it was determined that employers may be held liable for sexual or racial harassment in a wide variety of situations.

re: Workers comp harassment: I am being persecuted for the injury
It's an unfortunate state of affairs, but in some cases employers will try to pick at someone to term them if they feel wronged or want to retaliate for a set of circumstances.
The problem is you would have to prove this is being done as a direct result of being injured on the job. They will have to pay for your claim, therapy and all, anyways. They most likely have an agenda. Sorry, some employers are like that. Document what you can and try to walk on the thin ice as long as you can. If you end up getting terminated, tell the unemployment office it has to do with a worker's comp issue. They will be more apt to listen because the employer will provide all of their "warnings" as proof...

I'm second guessing myself big-time this week. So much so, that it's giving me anxiety. All my life I have been told to do the right thing, and although I feel as if I did make the right choice in an action that I did I'm still second guessing myself.
Back in September I saw someone that I know fairly well cheating on their spouse with someone they are not married to. It shocked me seeing it. Although this person did not know that I saw them, I felt like I was carrying a ton of guilt with the knowledge that I held every time I saw that person's spouse. I thought about saying something to the cheater, but decided against it. I felt that telling the spouse would be crossing the line entirely.
This past weekend I got a surprise knock on my door on a Saturday afternoon. When I opened the door, someone I didn't know was standing there and asking if I had one of my neighbor's phone numbers. When I asked why they needed it, the answer wasn't completely shocking. The response was, "My spouse and their spouse are cheating together. We (the uninvolved parties) were both told that it was over months ago, but it's not."
My immediate question to this person was, "What kind of car does your spouse drive?" I only asked because I got a very good view of this person's car, and it's been stuck in my mind ever since. The response? "Black BMW. Why?"
I told this person what I had seen. I told them that it bothered me seeing it, but I didn't think it was my business to confront my neighbor about what had transpired.
Then I got more information offered to me, like the fact that the person standing in front of me had confronted both her spouse and the other person involved in the affair. That they assured this person that it was over and would never see each other again. Apparently it had only just begun though, because the shady behavior was continuing. In addition, the Black BMW driver's daughter saw a conversation in Words With Friends where the two cheaters exchanged lovey dovey conversation with one another, and prompted the daughter to ask if her parent was seeing someone on the side. This daughter is 7 years old, and they also have a 3 year old and a 1 year old at home as well.
I felt for this person. I worried about what if this was happening to me? I would probably go to the same lengths to contact the other person's spouse to let them know it's not over. And the person that I know that is involved in the affair had a little bit of a bad karma thing going on with how they had treated me in the past, as well as being critical of the possible longevity of the relationship my husband and I have.
So you know what, I gave that person the phone number they desired. What that person has done with that phone number, I'm not so sure. But now I feel badly about giving the information.
I don't like being a tattle tale. I don't like to be the catalyst in anything life-changing, and I feel like giving that phone number could be the end to a relatively young marriage that could have been salvageable. But then again, there is nothing I can't stand more than a liar and a cheat, and this person has clearly been attempting to pull the wool over the eyes of their spouse… and the other person's spouse! Although I feel like I helped someone (from one parent to another), I fear that I have possibly ruined two marriages in the process. Two marriages that clearly have been having their issues and would have eventually ended had they continued down this path, but I've accelerated their demise. And for that I feel classic Catholic Guilt that I had engrained in me at such a young age.
Thinking about all of this really makes me think about loyalty, and the foundation of a monogamous relationship. Apparently monogamy isn't for everyone. But when there is children involved in the picture and a marriage on the line why can't people keep their pants on? Maybe I'm riding the moral high horse on this topic, but I just think that destroying an 18 year relationship with three children all for the sake of having fun is just not worth it. Am I wrong?

Cops: Man sexted girl he met in church
BOONE COUNTY, Ind. (WISH) -
A Boone County man is facing charges in what is believed to be the first sexting case in the area.
Thomas Lowman, 18, is facing a Class D felony charge of dissemination of matter harmful to minors. Officials say the high school student sent sexually explicit photos of himself to a 14-year-old girl.
The girl, from Thorntown, said she met the New Market man when he was 17 and she was 13. They met at a church the girl's family attended.
While Lowman admitted to police that he sent the girl an explicit photo, he said she began the sexting "without him asking for it." He also said he "immediately deleted the photo" of the girl. The girl contends Lowman asked for the photo, police said.
Lowman is scheduled to appear in court on April 20.
Prosecutors in Morgan and Marion counties told 24-Hour News 8 that such cases present challenges. It's often not clear whom to charge, or what to charge them with. Indiana has no laws that specifically address sending sexually explicit text messages, and many times all involved have sent sexts, not just one person or the other.
State lawmakers have discussed the possibility of making sexting a criminal act.

A few months ago, Joshua reviewed the iTwin — an interesting device ($99) which when plugged into a computer, automatically creates an unlimited and secure file sharing network. Now, the iTwin has been updated to include SecureBox, an encryption feature which utilises Dropbox. We'll take you through iTwin SecureBox and show you exactly how it works. We're also giving away 5 iTwins at the end of this review! So if you're into file security and encryption, or if you're someone who values privacy, you won't want to miss this giveaway.
Today, SugarSync 2.0 has been redesigned to be even easier to use. It's more intuitive than ever before and provides better control over shared files and folders compared to its major competitors, including Dropbox. I'll take you through the new interface in just a second. You'll also stand a chance of winning one of 25 SugarSync annual plans (first year free), with 30 GB of storage.
Dropbox is the original cloud syncing and backup tool. But hosting your own Dropbox-like service comes with a few positives. Let's take a look at some awesome self-hosted alternatives to Dropbox.
The agility, flexibility, and low-cost scale ups turn cloud storage options into more than an online vault to back up your documents and files. But cloud storage is more than these important but mundane uses. As users across the world prove, cloud storage gives us so many creative uses to try out. What's also attractive is cloud services like Dropbox, SkyDrive, Google Drive, Sugar Sync etc. come with free options.

Kim Kardashian was seen making a phone call outside the home of Kris Humphries this afternoon in Chanhassen, MN.
As TMZ first reported, Kim flew in to Minnesota last night to talk to Kris face-to-face ... but no reconciliation is expected.
Kris was spotted leaving the home later in the day.
Kris should kick her ass back to California and tell her she is not welcomed in "hee haw Minnesota". It will never work, he has a strong faith on God and she is only about the greed and lights life offers you. I am surprised she stayed in Chanhassen, after all, Prince doesn't live there anymore.
I think Kris should kick the big arsed chick back to california and tell her we don't want her butt in "hee haw Minnesota". She isn't worth any guys time.
Who cares? not news, not celebs...she throws her legs around for profit, he bounces basketballs....not celebs, just 'known'.
Chill out give Kim a break! Kim , you are so rocking !!!! Do not give in to this ! You are so above all of this bs! Stay strong and remember you have yout family and friends do not give in to Chris!! Rise above it Kim!!!
Really? This is breaking news? Stop pandering TMZ, and take the high road. Report only real news and skip the hoopla.
I think she is simply looking out for herself trying to repair the damage to her image from her divorce and possibly trying to con Kris to give her the ring for free. The whole freaking family is ridiculous
Really going into hiding, coming outside to make the call, so everyone can she she is so serious? What a transparent bitch! The best thing would be for TMZ to quit reporting on her. Let her rot into the sunset.
Maybe he didnt answer his door and shes trying to get a hold of him to answer...LOL..Kris should ignore her
SHE IS HUGE-(as in FAT) so much for going into "hiding" as if she could go 5 minutes without twittering every vapid thought....It's about time she gets that her "FANS" don't appreciate that she has crossed the line of disrespect. Pretending to be transparent for your "dumb" fans isn't working for her-she asked everyone to BUY INTO her wedding....and then thinks that humiliating KH publicly for her selfishness-not a good time for personal indulgence. Read the news, KK. NO ONE is rooting for you, your marraige, or your happiness.
Filthy w---- standing on the front porch so she can get her picture taken. Its been how long since the pap took her pic? Like 15 min. She's probably trying to do what she did to Ray J. so she can get that ring and then bonvoyage sucker!!! Only this time she's the sucker and everyone knows it!!!!Go screw yourself you old w---- we're onto you and your nasty family...Quit trying to screw the public out of money just like you do everyone else. Quit disrespecting everyone like you do your evil mother who deserves it!!!You know why Khloe hates her and you're just like that old w----.
Kim K. is a talentless Hollywood celebrity piglet that lives for the media spotlight and press coverage............Just ignore her and maybe she'll just fade away.
It makes me sick to know this women is in my state and like 30 miles from me!!! Go home....leave this poor man alone....you need to talk to him, you shoul have done that before filing for divorce! GO HOME Hoe bag!

Friday's Morning Mashup |
02.19.10 at 10:53 am ET |
Welcome to Friday's Morning Mashup, where we'll get you caught up on what's going on in the sports world and beyond.
Rhode Island's Bryant University, in its second season of Division 1 college basketball, ended a 28-game losing streak Thursday with a two-point victory at Wagner. It came a year and a day after the team's last win.
"It was the elephant in the room. I was feeling really bad for the kids because of the effort they were making," Bryant coach Tim O'Shea said. "Most of them were recruited to play Division 2. It was a tough situation for them."
GOLF: Tiger Woods will talk this morning and then resume therapy. Brad Faxon, on WEEI's Dennis & Callahan, said Michael Jordan will be at the press conference.
BASKETBALL: The Celtics edged the Lakers. Paul Flannery breaks it down for us. Nate Robinson is a Celtic. The Nuggets ended the Cavaliers' 13-game winning streak.
Tracy McGrady was dealt to the Knicks as part of the headline trade at Thursday's deadline. Get all the trade updates here. The Nets will play in Newark, N.J., until their arena in Brooklyn is ready.
No. 5 Syracuse beat No. 10 Georgetown. No. 13 Gonzaga fell to Loyola Marymount.
BASEBALL: Rob Bradford writes that Josh Beckett and Victor Martinez could learn from John Lackey regarding free agency. Alex Speier has the update from Red Sox spring training. Mark Shapiro was promoted to Indians president, effective at the end of the season.
FOOTBALL: Chris Price writes that Patriots cornerback Leigh Bodden is in a holding pattern in term of his future. Bills starting right tackle Brad Butler announced his surprise retirement at the age of 26. The labor dispute between the NFL and two Vikings players who challenged their drug-related suspensions will go to trial next month.
A Vanderbilt recruit was killed in an apparent domestic incident.
OLYMPICS: American Evan Lysacek was the surprise gold medalist in figure skating. Here's Thursday's roundup.
ON THIS DAY TRIVIA: On Feb. 19, 1972, which Bruin collected an assist in a 6-4 win over the Minnesota North Stars to become the first player in NHL history with 100 points in a season three times in his career?
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Ray was huge tonight. I think we should threaten to trade him all the time and then pull him back." — Celtics coach Doc Rivers, after Thursday night's win over the Lakers
STAT OF THE DAY: 3-0 — The Celtics' record in games decided by one point
'NET RESULTS: Kentucky freshman John Wall is not only the best rookie in college basketball, he popularized an little dance move that is "sweeping the nation" — or so they say.
Olympic speedskater Sven Kramer asks a reporter, "Are you stupid?" when she asks him to identify himself right after he won a gold medal. Probably more lazy than stupid, but anyhow …

Brad Faxon on D&C: Jordan to join Woods |
02.19.10 at 10:28 am ET |
On the morning of Tiger Woods' press conference, New England's own Brad Faxon checked in with Dennis & Callahan on Friday to talk about the media storm that has surrounded the No. 1 player in the world.
Faxon said that Woods' wife Elin would not be attending the presser, but that Michael Jordan and Stanford buddy Notah Begay III would be in attendance.
Faxon, like other golfers on tour, is just looking for an end to the saga so they don't have to talk about it anymore.
"It gets old and it will be good to get over, but the positive of this and the positive for us is we are learning what golf will be like or could be like without Tiger," he said.
A transcript follows. To listen to the interview, click here.
What is the feeling on the PGA Tour about the Tiger situation?
There's such a mixed bag out here between all the players and their feelings. Notah Begay III, who went to Stanford with Tiger, actually withdrew from the tournament. He was down here with his family and let me tell you this is not an easy place or a cheap place to get to. He withdrew so he could attend the press conference. I know Michael Jordan is going to be there. I know Elin is not going to be there. It's kind of ironic that he scheduled this press conference during the Accenture Match Play where he was dropped by Accenture, the first sponsor to drop him. Commissioner [Tim] Finchem is allowing him to do this at the TPC Sawgrass, which I don't know if this is Tiger's move of trying to be nice or if it's another thing of sticking it up you know where. Everything is a surprise and he only invited, and this in unreal, three golf writers. I talked to both Jim McCabe and Jim Ferguson last night and they both were thinking about boycotting the whole thing, because you are not allowed to ask questions, it's going to be a prepared statement and then it's going to be over. Some people think it may be, "Hey I'm going through my rehab. Things are going fine I'm going to come play at Doral in Orlando and then I'm going to play in the Masters," or some people think, "Hey, I'm done. I'm retired."
You really think that?
I've never thought he could do anything to take away from his chance to play golf. I don't think that, but why would he make a statement where he's not going to allow for questions unless he decided he's going to take some time off?
Could this just be a way for him to test the waters with the public and then disappear again for a while?
There's no question and maybe he has to go back to the rehab place. I don't know how those things work and I don't want to find out. Somebody has said to me that Billy Payne, who runs the Masters, has said, "I don't want, Tiger, this to be your first tournament back. We don't want the circus that comes with it." This year at the tournament and the Farmers Insurance, it used to be the Buick one of Tiger's sponsors, there were planes out there dragging signs behind them that I don't think the Masters wants any part of.
Would the Masters be the only tournament that would or could say no to Tiger?
No question. Nobody says no to Tiger. I don't know who's driving this bus here. If this is Mark Steinberg, if this is Tiger's wishes, it's just very interesting this whole thing how it has played out. There was a picture of Tiger running in his long sleeve shirt and he's all buffed out and looks happy and normal. I think they are trying to control this thing and in my opinion if he doesn't appear contrite and apologetic about everything, then I don't know. I hope this isn't something of me against the world again.
What else do you know about the press conference?
I know Tim Finchem has set this up at the lawn at Sawgrass. I don't quite understand, Tiger could easily do this is Isleworth in Orlando where he lives and control it even more. I know there is a great press head at Sawgrass and it's only a two and a half hour drive in that Cadillac Escalade. I don't know who else has been invited. I know when a guy like Notah Begay III withdraws from a tournament withouth a reason that's fineable offense. We don't have a policy that allows you to withdraw from a tournament without being sick or injured. I think Tiger really wants some friends there. That's why this thing is a mystery to me.
What is the feeling about him winning tournaments this year?
There is no player out here that doesn't think he can do that. Everybody knows that Tiger has been the best player ever and he's overcome any obstacles there might be and seems to be able to turn anything off the golf course out of his mind at anytime. I'm sure he can do that again. It's a mixed bag of feelings out here. There are some players that are mad and disappointed at how he's handled this and what he's done, David Duval would be one of those players we had dinner the other night, and the opposite side would be Kenny Perry who said, "He just needs a big hug." He's already got a few of those though.
What has Duval said, because he and Tiger used to be buddies?
They were, but Duval has turned into a real family man. He's happily married and he's got a couple of kids from his new wife. Susie Duval and my wife are all friends. He's disappointed with the lies and the way this thing has been handled. Everybody is in shock at the way it's been handled, but I don't know what the truth is. It would be fantastic in this press conference if he laid out the actual timeline of what happened instead of keeping us all guessing and all talking about it, because that would remove all the talk about it.
How does this affect the PGA players when they speak to the media? Have they had enough?
When the interview is not about you or not about golf it gets kind of, I wouldn't say boring in this case, but you kind of want every interview have to be about how well you just played. This has taken on a life of its own that is way beyond golf. For us we don't get to many articles on TMZ or entertainment magazines. Those are the things we are just not used to handling. We are not good at handling it. It gets old and it will be good to get over, but the positive of this and the positive for us is we are learning what golf will be like or could be like without Tiger. We've done a pretty good job at filling sponsor holes. Finchem and his staff have done a great job in this economy. We don't have many open spaces on our tour season now.
Do you think that the average person would watch golf if Tiger isn't involved?
Phil [Mickelson] would have to pick up the slack. We'd have to have some other guys that could do it and I like that saying the cliché, "Nobody is bigger than the game." Guys like Arnold [Palmer] and Jack [Nicklaus] would actually say that. You don't really here that out of Tiger's mouth or the actions. I always thought the great players tried to help the game and tour out in a lot of different ways. I hope that our top players realize that.
How about the wives on tour? Are they disgusted by all of this?
I think so. I certainly haven't gone out and polled them all. It's unbelievable and I think a lot of them are wondering what Elin's going to do. I know in my situation if I pulled this off I'd be without body parts.
Do you think Elin is going to allow herself to be a prop in the press conference if she is there?
No way, absolutely not. I hate to say I have inside info but she's not going to be there.
Any other Nike guys going to be there?
I don't know if [Charles] Barkley got the invite, if he'd show.
Olympics Recap: Thursday, 2/18 |

The Thrill of Victory
The United States saved the best for last on Thursday night. Evan Lysacek was the American favorite to capture gold in the men's freeskate and he came through with a tight win over his chief rival Evgeni Plushenko of Russia. This was almost too close too call after Plushenko was the final skater to compete, but Plushenko did have a few points in his routine where he wasn't completely perfect.
The judges agreed that Lysacek was the winner as his combined score 257.67 narrowly edged Plushenko's combined score of 256.36.
Lysacek is the first U.S. men's figure skater to capture gold since Bryan Boitano in 1988. If Lysacek was to lose, it probably would have been because of the Alfalfa hairdo that kept occurring every time he spun. His coach needed to goop him up a little more, but doesn't he look like he should be on The Jersey Shore?
The Canadian hockey team narrowly escaped with a shootout win over Switzerland, thanks to Sid "The Kid" Crosby and a huge save by Martin Brodeur. A loss by the host country could have spoiled the night and maybe the Olympics for all of Canada.
Both the men and women's U.S hockey teams sealed up wins in the preliminary rounds on Thursday. The women kept rolling along with a 6-0 win over Finland and the men defeated Norway 6-1.
Agony of Defeat
Johnny Weir is still the "Fallen Angel." Weir slipped up a bit in his final routine and placed sixth overall in the competition. For all the antics and headlines off the ice, Weir didn't deliver on it. Other than the minor slip up, the routine was rather clean, but the commentators talked about the difficulty of his routine and how it didn't stack up against the other competitors. Daisuke Takahashi finished in third and he fell trying to land a quad – a much more difficult trick than any attempted by Weir.
A day after claiming gold in the downhill, the darling of the U.S. ski team Lindsey Vonn fell in her attempt to capture gold in the super-combined competition. Vonn has been battling a shin injury — in case you haven't heard — which may have been part of the reason she clipped one of the gates with her right ski.
She will have another shot at gold in the super-G competition on Saturday.
Hannah Teter and Kelly Clark came up a little bit short in the women's halfpipe competition. Teter finished 2.6 points behind Australian champion Torah Bright. Clark fell on her first attempt and had to settle for bronze. A silver and bronze are nice consolation prizes, but gold was within reach for both of these riders.
The Local Look
Teter, mentioned above, fell just short of gold in the halfpipe. She will return to Vermont a hero for claiming the silver medal, but gold was oh so close for her.
Phil Kessel, remember him, tallied the first goal in the United States' 6-1 win over Norway. The former Bruins sharpshooter probably doesn't have too many fans rooting for him in New England, but maybe the bad blood can disappear if he scores some big goals for the red, white and blue.
"The Woman With the Golden Gun" Laura Spector finished way out of the running for a medal in the 15km individual competition. Spector finished in 65th, but the U.S. didn't do to well as the highest finish was Lanny Barnes, who finished 23rd.
Medal Count
United States (6 gold, 5 silver, 7 bronze) 18 total
Germany (4, 4, 3) 11
Norway (3,3,2) 8
Olympics Recap: Wednesday, 2/17 |
02.18.10 at 3:55 pm ET |
The Thrill of Victory
Sure, Shaun White took home the halfpipe gold, and rather convincingly at that. But that was kind of expected — the man does own his own trick-park after all.
But Lindsey Vonn on the other hand — now that was a little unexpected.
With Vonn hampered with a bum shin before the event, it was even a little uncertain whether or not she would even compete in the women's downhill at all. And winning gold? Now that was an entirely different story.
But that's exactly what the 25-year-old did, finishing 1-2 with fellow American Julia Mancuso, notching a time of 1 minute, 44.19 seconds — a half-second better than Mancuso.
And while her first-place finish may not have been as full of epic jumps, flailing McTwists and home-trained halfpipe daredevilry, the shock value of her even competing — let alone winning — deserved a spot in the Thrill of Victory regardless. Not to mention, it's been a pretty good few months off the mountain for Vonn.
Sorry, Shaun. She's got you beat there.
Honorable mention to Shani Davis, who continued his dominance of the speedskating track, bringing home gold medals in yesterday's games, securing the first Olympic back-to-back win on the 100m track in history.
Agony of Defeat
Rarely do you see a wipeout that you actually can feel sitting on your couch in your living room.
But when Edith Miklos of Romania took a nasty spill in yesterday's women's downhill, I promise you — I cringed. In case you missed it, check out this slide show.
It was a wipeout so fierce that she actually ended up careening right into the orange fishnet fencing around the course, sending her directly off the track. She was immediately evacuated by helicopter, a sight nobody wants to see during an Olympic event, regardless of country affiliation.
But for Miklos, it's a fate she's become all too familiar with — because it wasn't the first time she ran into some issues on the slopes. Or the second.
The Local Look
It was a good day for USA athletes on Wednesday — and not just for the big guys, either.
On a day when White, Davis and Vonn reeled in gold medals, New England native Scotty Lago also made a mark of his own. The 22-year-old Seabrook, N.H., native brought home the bronze medal in the men's halfpipe, an event that was won by none other than Shaun White himself.
But it wasn't as rewarding a day for the rest of the New England pool. The region will have a chance to redeem itself today, however, as both of USA's New England-laden hockey teams will hit the ice this afternoon, the men facing off against Norway at 3 and the women taking on Finland at 5:30.
For the men, it will be Connecticut native and former Boston University captain Chris Drury leading the charge, as Team USA looks to push its mark to 2-0. The women, meanwhile, will be sending seven New Englanders to the ice this afternoon, with Kacey Bellamy, Meghan Duggan, Molly Shaus and Erika Lawler of Massachusetts leading the way.
Wins for both teams would push them one step closer to advancing to second-round play, which begins on Feb. 20 for the women and Feb. 23 for the men.
Medal Count:
United States 14 (5 gold, 3 silver, 6 bronze)
Germany 10 (3, 4, 3)
France 7 (2, 1, 4)

Lessons from a trade deadline past |
02.17.10 at 8:59 pm ET |
The Dallas Mavericks started the party early, ringing in the All-Star festivities with a trade for Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood.
The Portland Trail Blazers continued the trend Tuesday, officially acquiring former UMass star Marcus Camby to help solve their woes in the middle.
Even the Celtics look like they are getting in on the act, albeit not in the way many had envisioned. But it appears that NBA dunk contest champ — and that term is applied as loosely as possible — Nate Robinson might be coming to Boston to help bolster the C's bench.
Yes, the NBA trade deadline is almost here, with the last chance for any major transactions to occur coming at 3 p.m. Thursday. And with that in mind, here is a history of the major deadline deals that have occurred in each of the last 10 years, which unfortunately leaves us just shy of the Celtics' acquiring Vitaly Potapenko in 1999. Still, maybe a general manager can a grab few ideas of how to think outside the box and bolster their lineup — or cut costs, whatever the choice may be — with this perspective.
The Bulls wanted to make a run at the playoffs. The Kings wanted to run out any high-priced players. So it made sense that Sacramento would send Brad Miller and John Salmons, two of its best players, to Chicago for package included Andres Nocioni and Drew Gooden's expiring deal (Portland also helped bring this one about).
Celtics fans, of course, know that the trade helped the Bulls do more than just make the playoffs. Chicago pushed the Celtics to seven games in one of the best playoff series in recent memory.
The Cavaliers went all-in in their quest for the NBA title, acquiring former Celtics Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West from the Sonics and Ben Wallace and Joe Smith from the Bulls. But all their huge deadline deal did was help them push the eventual NBA champion Celtics to seven games in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Now Cleveland is talking about a number of big names — Amar'e Stoudemire and Antawn Jamison being the most prominent — in another attempt to make it back to the finals.
The Raptors traded Fred Jones to Portland for Juan Dixon. Seriously, these were the biggest names moved at the deadline. At least Dixon is making the headlines now, though not exactly how he probably would have hoped to.
This trade featured possibly the largest collection of subpar players of all-time. It was really like a bunch of teams — in this case, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento and Denver — got together and decided to exchange spare parts. Who wants Ruben Patterson? What about Earl Watson, who was allegedly the big name in this deal? Even Potapenko was a part of this trade.
Sure, this was the year Baron Davis was dealt to the Warriors and the Nuggets finally decided to give up on all-time bust Nikoloz Tskitishvili, but this deadline had more important ramifications for fans in Boston. This was a memorable deadline for the Celtics, as it reunited Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker briefly before 'Toine took his wiggle to Miami in a trade.
But another deal, seemingly minor at the time, did far more for the Celtics. The Celtics traded Jiri Welsch to Cleveland for a future first-round pick. That was the 2007 first-rounder that Danny Ainge used to get the draft rights to Rajon Rondo from the Suns.
Again, the Celtics were a part of a blockbuster deal at the deadline, but this time as more of a facilitator. With the Pistons needing a third team to help work out salaries in their attempt to grab Rasheed Wallace from the Hawks, Ainge stepped in and filled the role. The trade helped Detroit upset the Lakers in the finals that season and become the powerhouse in the Eastern Conference.
Gary Payton was a part of the trade when Boston re-acquired Walker. Here, he was the centerpiece in a deal that involved current Celtic Ray Allen, who has been the subject of rampant rumors this season. Allen went to Seattle, where he was a mainstay before coming over to help the Celtics win a championship. Payton would move from Milwaukee to the Lakers after the season, joining Karl Malone and Shaq and Kobe for what seemed to be a guaranteed championship before Detroit had other ideas.
You'll notice a trend. The early part of the last decade actually had big names moving. One year before the Allen-Payton blockbuster came a trade that involved big names including Juwan Howard (who is inexplicably still playing a prominent role in Portland this season), Tim Hardaway, Nick Van Exel and even onetime Celtic Raef Lafrentz.
Dallas got Lafrentz, who would be reunited with his former Kansas teammate Pierce when Walker was traded to Dallas before the 2003-04 season, as well as Van Exel, while the Nuggets received Howard and Hardaway, in what turned out to be his last full season.
Two of the best defensive centers of the decade changed places in this deal — Dikembe Mutombo and Theo Ratliff. While Ratliff was the centerpierce in the deal for the Hawks, the prize of Mutombo was much more important for the 76ers, as his presence helped fuel the Sixers' run to the finals in 2001, when they were defeated in five games by the Lakers in the first year of LA's three-peat campaign.
Olympics Recap: Tuesday, 2/16 |
02.17.10 at 10:29 am ET |
The Thrill of Victory
Vancouver quickly has become a mecca for another nation: Germany. Thanks to a gold medal performance from Tatjana Huefner in the luge, the ninth time in 13 tries that a German has topped the podium in the event, and a similar result in the from Magdalena Neuner in the 10k biathalon pursuit, Germany now leads the medal count with nine overall.
Huefner followed in the wake of countryman Felix Loch, who earned the gold Sunday in the men's singles competition. For Neuner, it was her second medal of the games, though this time she moved a step up the ladder from silver to gold.
The other story that emerged Tuesday night is the seemingly out-of-nowhere transformation of South Korea into a long track speed skating powerhouse. After watching Lee Seung-hoon take silver in the 5,000 Saturday and Mo Tae-bun earn a dramatic first place finish Monday, Lee Sang-hwa catapulted over the favorites and earned the gold in the women's 500. Lee bested heavy favorite Jenny Wolf of Germany and another top contender in Wang Beixing of China, who took the bronze.
The Agony of Defeat
Unfortunately for fans of New England competitors, this section belongs to Vermont's Lindsey Jacobellis. Again.
The biggest name in snowboardcross came into the games trying to shake off the memory of Turin, when she lost out on the gold medal after she fell attempting a grab on the final jump and had to settle for silver. Tuesday's slip-up arguably was even worse, as it kept her out of the medal picture altogether. Her disqualification after losing her control and hitting a gate left Jacobellis in disbelief and once again leaves people questioning her performance on the Olympic stage.
One thing about the Vancouver games that has become apparent is that not everything will go smoothly. From delays in the downhill to faulty Zamboni work, these games have had their share of problems since Day 1.
Yesterday brought another example of this when errors in time management caused major issues in both biathlon events. In the men's race, timing blunders caused American Jeremy Teela and Canadian Jean Philippe Leguellec to go off early, and they were penalized after the event. The added time dropped Teela to 24th place and caused Leguellec to fall out of the top five in the event and all the way to 11th.
The error might have been even more egregious in the women's race earlier. Fourth-place finisher Anna Carin Oloffson-Zidek of Sweden was held back 14 seconds too long before her start, a mistake that might have impeded her from winning a medal. She finished sixth but was bumped up to fourth after officials realized their error. A better start could have changed the race.
It also was a tough day on the ice for the U.S. men's curling team. Two losses on the event's first day are a setback that puts the team's medal hopes in serious doubt. The women did not fair much better on the opening day, losing their first match in Vancouver to Japan, 8-7.
The Local Look
Tuesday featured some ups and downs for New Englanders competing across the border. Along with the agonizing finish for Jacobellis, the U.S. team struggled in the women's luge. 2009 world champion Erin Hamlin could only muster a 16th-place finish, struggling on the course's tough turns throughout her four runs, and her two teammates from New England did not fare much better. Julia Clukey (Augusta, Maine) was one spot behind in 17th in her Olympic debut, while Connecticut native Megan Sweeney finished in 22nd in her first trip to the Games.
In women's ice hockey, however, the U.S. team continued to roll, and a pair of New Englanders played a large part in the 13-0 thrashing of Russia. Harvard graduate and New Haven, Conn., native Caitlin Cahow chipped in a goal and an assist in the victory while 20-year-old Hilary Knight of Hanover was all over the ice, finishing with four assists on the day.
Moving to Wednesday, all eyes will be on the big names competing for Team USA. Shani Davis, Apolo Anton Ohno, Shaun White and Lindsey Vonn all will be in action and vying for gold in their respective events.
But that doesn't mean New England won't be represented as well. Alongside White representing the United States in the men's halfpipe will be Scotty Lago, who hails from Seabrook, N.H. The 22-year-old will be looking to make his way onto the podium, perhaps alongside his countryman, Wednesday.
The Medal Count
Germany: 9 (3 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze)
United States: 8 (2, 2, 4)
France: 7 (2, 1, 4)
Wednesday's Morning Mashup |
02.17.10 at 8:54 am ET |
Welcome to Wednesday's Morning Mashup, where we'll get you caught up on what's going on in the sports world and beyond.
A Scottish terrier was named Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club championship, but the event was interrupted during the final judging by two PETA protesters, one who held a sign reading: Mutts rule. PETA opposes the pure-bred dog culture because it takes attention away from the plight of shelter dogs.
BASEBALL: Mike Lowell talked about his precarious situation with the Red Sox. Jonathan Papelbon talked about getting a fresh start after last season's disastrous ending. Get the update on Tuesday's happenings in Fort Myers. Pitcher Chien-Ming Wang signed with the Nationals. Braves right-hander Jair Jurrjens is scheduled for an MRI on his sore right shoulder
BASKETBALL: The Celtics beat the Kings. Paul Flannery has the Three-Pointer from the game. Flannery also breaks down the numbers on Rajon Rondo's shooting.
The Nets beat the Bobcats for their fifth win of the season. The Lakers won again without Kobe Bryant. The Thunder knocked off the Mavericks. The Heat routed the 76ers, who welcomed back Allen Iverson.
The Blazers finalized a trade to acquire Marcus Camby from the Clippers. Nuggets coach George Karl has neck and throat cancer but it's said to be treatable.
Kentucky beat Mississippi State in overtime. The attorney for former Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton entered a plea of not guilty to four felony drug-related charges and said Sutton is in a treatment center. Former Memphis State coach Dana Kirk died Monday at the age of 74.
FOOTBALL: D.J. Bean offers up an early mock draft. The Raiders made Sebastian Janikowski the highest-paid kicker ever. Attorneys said Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman and reality television star Tila Tequila settled their lawsuits against each other. The NFL Players Association accused the league of not sharing as much supplemental revenue with its lower-income teams as it is supposed to.
OLYMPICS: The U.S. hockey team won its opener, and Vermont snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis was disqualified during her semifinal race. Get the Olympic roundup here.
ON THIS DAY TRIVIA: On Feb. 17, 1968, which Massachusetts sports landmark opened?
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I only brought one change of clothes. It's been a real rough, rough 24 hours for me, but real exciting at the same time." — Marcus Camby, on being traded from the Clippers to the Trail Blazers
STAT OF THE DAY: 26 — The average age of the U.S. hockey team, making it the youngest American squad since professionals started playing in the Olympics in 1998
'NET RESULTS: Don't you hate it when they show replays on TV and you don't realize it's a replay because you aren't fully paying attention and you think your team scored? This happens on Red Sox games a lot. The other day, it happened in a soccer game — to an announcer.
Here's a soccer shootout featuring an overabundance of delay moves and fakes.
TRIVIA ANSWER: The Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield
SOOTHING SOUNDS: Bobby Lewis is 77 today.
Cross country skiing |
02.16.10 at 8:22 am ET |
Cross country skiing in the Olympics is a brutal test of endurance, stamina and straight-up heart.
This event also offers the most chances at a medal because there are so many cross country events in the Winter Games. Competition will go from Feb. 15-28, with Thursday having eight heats — between qualifying and medal rounds — going on during the day.
There are 11 Olympic hopefuls on the American team, and two hail from New England. Here is a closer look at the two local Olympians.
Kris Freeman
Freeman is entering his third Olympic Games, a remarkable feat. What makes Freeman's story so amazing is the fact that he has been living with type 1 diabetes for 10 years. In order to get through the day, Freeman must take five shots of insulin a day to compete, and even that hasn't slowed him down.
Just look at this video of him training for competition. The guess here is that most people could not or would not do some of this stuff.
Freeman had his best finish in his Olympic career at Torino in the 50k race when he placed 22nd. Coming off a gold in this year's World Championships in the 15k, the Andover, N.H., native is looking to ride through snow, and rain for that matter, to get to the medal stand.
Liz Stephen
The 23-year-old Stephen will be on the Olympic stage for the first time. Stephen has only been skiing cross country since 2002, when she picked it up at Burke Mountain Academy after a lifetime of competing in alpine events.
A resident of East Montpelier, Vt., Stephen finished in the top 10 in four events at the U.S. championships to stake claim to a spot in Vancouver.
She also runs her own blog, called Full Sass, to keep fans updated on her Olympic progress.
Figure skating |
02.16.10 at 8:18 am ET |
The action on the ice will pick up this week in the figure skating competition, but boy has there been some headlines off of it. Johnny Weir, an American medal hopeful, had to scratch the idea of staying in a hotel away from the Olympic Village because of threats from animal rights activists.
Weir has been under scrutiny because of his — ahem — unusual choice of clothing during the nationals before the Olympic Games. He sported an outfit with trim made out of white fox fur, which set off the animal rights people.
The colorful skater always has done things his own way, and he kind of reminds us of a no-nonsense renegade skater … Chaz Michael Michaels.
All of the off-ice situations are taking away from the fact that Weir is one of the hopefuls for a medal on the U.S. squad.
There are a lot of question marks surrounding the U.S. team this year. The likes of Michelle Kwan and Sasha Cohen will not be around this winter, and there are no New Englanders to keep an eye on.
ESPN only has three medals for the U.S. squad in its predictions for the Vancouver Games.
Evan Lysacek is projected to be the top U.S. individual competitor in the Games, but don't knock him out of his routine. Lysacek has some interesting habits and superstitions that he needs to do before he gets to the ice. Just look at the interview that he did with Jay Leno.
Meryl Davis and Charlie White are projected to claim gold in the team dance competition by ESPN, and Tanith Belbin — whom Weir is rooming with — and Benjamin Agosto are predicted to finish third in the same event.

Pole Dancing Pole
By: Jessica Thomson |
Are you looking for a fun way to stay in shape throughout these winter months?
