Top-seed Mercyhurst was the only home team to advance in last week's quarterfinal round.
Three (OK, four, but they're short) Things from Atlantic Hockey play this weekend:
On Friday, Canisius led host Army 3-2 after two periods before blowing the game open with five goals in the third to win, 8-2. The Griffs chased Black Knight goaltender Rob Tadazak with their sixth goal, the first career tally for rookie Shane Conacher (yes, relation).
It's always interesting to see how a team responds to a blowout loss. Would Army coach Brian Riley make wholesale changes? How would the Black Knights react, especially if they fell behind early?
Riley elected to go back to Tadazak, and he and sophomore Shane Hearn led the Black Knights to a rebound 2-0 win on Saturday.
Hearn got Army a lead it wouldn't surrender midway through the second period, and added an insurance goal with 58 seconds left to seal the deal. Tadazak stopped all 15 shots he faced for the shutout. Those 15 shots were a season low for the Golden Griffins. Army surrendered 35 to Canisius the night before.
"I am sure there are some people that would not come back to Tadazak tonight," Riley said after the game. "But he is a competitor, and he gave us a chance to win tonight and I was happy to see him bounce back the way he did."
Usually it's near the end of a season that you see players achieve career records or milestones, but a pair of achievements happened this past weekend:
Bentley defenseman Steve Weinstein, who set the school career mark for points by a defenseman on Nov. 30, added to his total with a goal and four assists last weekend. The junior already has 19 assists this season. He's tied for second nationally, trailing only St. Lawrence's Greg Carey (23 assists).
Weinstein has had at least one assist in his last eight contests, averaging two a game over that span. His goal on Saturday was his first of the season.
As we approach Holiday break, who's the hottest team in Atlantic Hockey?
Canisius was riding a four-game winning streak before being shut out at Army on Saturday. Rochester Institute of Technology has won five in a row, the Tigers' longest in two years. Mercyhurst has won six of its last seven contests, scoring 34 goals over that stretch.
But I'm going with Bentley. The Falcons are undefeated in their last six contests and have played arguably a tougher schedule over that stretch.
Bentley faces a tough challenge on Saturday, traveling to Boston University for its final game before Christmas.
Last Week:
Dan: 5-2-2
Chris: 5-2-2
On the season:
Dan: 69-31-8 (.676)
Chris: 70-30-8 (.685)
Friday, Dec. 6 and Saturday, Dec. 7:
Canisius at Army
Dan: Army's defense really struggled through the last month or so. In going 2-8 in November, they gave up 47 goals. The two wins they picked up were against Sacred Heart and AIC. While both of those teams are improved, there's still a Grand Canyon-like chasm between the top and the bottom. Canisius sweeps.
Chris: These are my favorite kinds of weekends in Atlantic Hockey, with all 12 teams squaring off in six two-game series. First up is Army, one of those teams that will beat you unless you come to play. The odds are you're not going to outwork the Black Knights, but if you can come close, teams with depth like Canisius can prevail. Canisius sweeps.
Robert Morris at Bentley
Dan:No AHA team is hotter right now than the Bentley Falcons. They're starting to pick up steam, and with several players chasing down program history, there's a lot at stake. They're also 4-4-2 lifetime against the former CHA squad. But RMU needs wins badly or risk having to make up some serious ground against their western foes later in the year. I'm calling it a split. Bentley wins on Friday. RMU wins on Saturday.
Chris: Dan knows more about Bentley than I do, but I think he's hedging his bets here. I'm going all-in. Bentley sweeps.
Air Force at Holy Cross
Dan: My hockey expert future wife said it best when she said, "Holy Cross beat BC? Nobody will take them lightly ever again." Cue up Air Force, stinging from their first conference weekend loss. And really, how can we not take Air Force at least on Pearl Harbor Day? Air Force sweeps.
Chris: As Air Force coach Frank Serratore says, it usually comes down to goaltending and special teams. Both teams have experienced guys in the pipes that can win a game on their own. But I'm going with Torf over Ginn this weekend. Air Force sweeps.
Sacred Heart at Mercyhurst
Dan: I hope Rick Gotkin plays Bachman-Turner Overdrive the entire way to Connecticut because this weekend has to be about "Takin' Care of Business" for the Lakers. But I say that with a caveat – would anyone be shocked if Sacred Heart took a point? Mercyhurst sweeps.
Chris: I usually pick before Dan, so this is fun to follow him this week. The Lakers have won four in a row against the Pioneers and I think it's going to be the" Same Old Song" and Four Tops, errr, four points for the Lakers. Mercyhrust sweeps.
American International at Rochester Institute of Technology
Dan: AIC is positively reeling. They've lost five in a row, including a game against Army and Tuesday night's 6-1 beating by UMass-Lowell. In addition, bad defense is rearing its ugly head. The losing streak in shots allowed – outshot 38-18 (UConn); outshot 40-24 (Army); outshot 50-29 (Mercyhurst); outshot 53-26 (Mercyhurst); outshot 44-21 (UML). RIT sweeps.
Chris: Right now you have two teams moving in the opposite direction, with the Tigers on a three-game winning streak and the Yellow Jackets coming in in a downward spiral. But they've beaten Holy Cross and Bentley this year, and if one of their goalies find his groove, fortunes can reverse quickly. Still, I think the Tigers have something to prove at home, where they are 0-1 in league play this season. RIT sweeps.
Niagara at Connecticut
Dan: Besides the RMU-Bentley series, this presents the juiciest opportunity for a split. Connecticut is 1-3-1 since November 12th, but they've lost to a white-hot Bentley team, a Boston University team getting back their mojo, and Canisius. I think they can take a win in this series, at home, against a Niagara team ranked 53rd nationally in goals allowed. UConn wins on Friday. Niagara on Saturday.
Chris: I think both teams are better than their record indicates. This one's a tossup for me, but I'm going with the Purple Eagles to pick up their first road wins of the season in a pair of close games. Niagara sweeps.
Three things from a wild and ever-changing big story weekend for the Atlantic Hockey Association.
Holy Moly
In its 10-plus season existence, no AHA program had ever beaten the Boston College Eagles. Earlier this year, Army went to Conte Forum and allowed 11 goals. But resident giant killer Holy Cross, the team that became the first AHA program to win an NCAA Tournament game back in 2006, jumped out to a 5-1 second period lead over the 7th-ranked Eagles, then held off a furious third period rally to win, 5-4.
It was a seminal breakout moment for the Crusaders, who were outscored, 37-24, by opponents entering Friday night. But they controlled the middle of the ice and scored four of their five goals on a rush. They also received 34 saves from goalie Matt Ginn, who head coach Paul Pearl credited with a great performance after the game. "He was able to square up to the puck and keep composed in those scrambling situations," said Pearl after the game.
For Atlantic Hockey, this was the biggest, most resounding win since Sacred Heart upended UMass-Lowell to start the year. The league is struggling through one of its worst non-conference showings ever, and wins against quality opponents are few and far between. But they're 3-10 against Hockey East and 8-43-5 against every other league. Neither number is great. But considering five Hockey East teams occupy spots in the national poll and the AHA has wins against two of them (the 7th and 8th ranked teams in the nation as of press time)? That's a silver lining if there ever was one.
Battle of Falcons Goes to the East
In a weekend where the western division reminded the east who's boss, a bright spot came from Bentley, who traveled west to Colorado to take on their Falcon counterparts at Air Force. For the second time in three years, Bentley took three points, having now not lost a game at the academy since November, 2009. In the first game, Bentley rallied from down 1-0 and 2-1 to force two ties and eventually take the lead. Brett Switzer scored the game-tying goal in the second period after Jason Torf saved Brett Gensler's initial shot, then tacked on the game-winner with about four minutes left in regulation. Justin Breton added an empty net strike to give Bentley the win.
Playing with house money, Bentley rallied again from down a goal in the first period to take a 2-1 lead following goals by Alex Grieve and Gensler. But Frank Serratore made the bold decision to pull his goalie with two minutes left, and Chad Demers scored with just about 30 seconds left to salvage a point.
Bentley is now undefeated in its last four games and has lost only once in its last six – an 8-7 loss to AIC considered by both teams to be a fluke of a game. The Falcons are now tied with Air Force for second in the league, one point back of Mercyhurst. They also now have wins in hand as the east continues to struggle with the western scheduling pod. They'll entertain Robert Morris at home next weekend.
West Dominates East….Again
As mentioned in my column last week, the western scheduling pod usually dominates the east. And once again, that held true despite Bentley's weekend against Air Force. The west went otherwise undefeated en route to a 5-1-2 weekend, taking four points with RIT sweeping at Sacred Heart and Mercyhurst sweeping at AIC and taking three points with Canisius' win and tie over UConn.
Entering the weekend, there was a total logjam thanks to the evenly played intradivisional rivalries. As the teams play out across divisional boundaries, the shift and separation will begin in the standings. After starting out 3-0 in league play, AIC has lost four straight, falling from first to seventh. In contrast, Mercyhurst is now 5-1 and threatening the same type of separation Niagara had a year ago.
The east-west matchups continue next week. Key games will include 11th-place Robert Morris (who split their only series with an eastern school when they hosted Holy Cross) at 2nd-place Bentley (1-3-3 against RMU as AHA members); Air Force (the other team tied for second) at Holy Cross (one of four teams tied for 7th); and Niagara at Connecticut in games between two sixth-place teams.
Last Week:
Dan: 8-5-1
Chris: 6-7-1
On the season:
Dan: 64-29-6 (.677)
Chris: 65-28-6 (.687)
Friday, Nov. 29 and Saturday, Nov. 30:
Bentley at Air Force
Dan: There's one-sided rivalries, and then there's this. Air Force leads the all-time series 22-7-5, but Bentley took three points two years ago when they last visited. If Bentley wants to make the jump to the top of the league, they'll have to take at least one game in Colorado. Their compete level has been pretty high against good teams this year. Bentley wins on Friday. Air Force wins on Saturday.
Chris: Ah, the annual battle of the Falcons. Both teams are playing pretty good hockey right now, so the faithful in Colorado Springs should see a pair of great games. Each team took three points in the others' buildings over the past two seasons, but I like the blue and grey Falcons to sweep over the blue and gold variety. Air Force sweeps.
Mercyhurst at American International
Dan: AIC got massacred by UConn, then struggled with Army. After buying low, it might be time to sell high on Yellow Jacket stock. They're getting a brutal matchup this week with Mercyhurst, but at least it's at home. If they steal a point, I wouldn't write them off quite yet. That said, the Lakers just split with RPI and beat Air Force and Niagara as part of their recent run. Mercyhurst sweeps.
Chris: I hope I wasn't think kiss of death for the Yellow Jackets. Since my column on AIC, which was written after the 'Jackets started conference play 3-0 for the first time ever, they've lost two in a row. I don't think it gets any easier against the Lakers. Mercyhurst sweeps.
Rochester Institute of Technology at Sacred Heart
Dan: Sacred Heart showed a lot of guts in their sweep of Army, but Army in last place is very different from RIT in last place. RIT is too good to be in 12th place; they know it, and I have a feeling they're going to want to prove it. RIT sweeps.
Chris: The Tigers are 5-2-1 in Milford/Bridgeport since joining Atlantic Hockey, including outscoring the Pioneers 13-0 in their last appearances in Southern Connecticut. I think these games will be much closer, but RIT should pull them out. RIT sweeps.
Connecticut at Canisius
Dan: Canisius is just good enough for this to be a series where people can start taking UConn seriously with a quality win. UConn wins on Friday; Canisius wins on Saturday.
Chris: If I wasn't going to be covering the RIT/SHU series, these are the games I'd most like to see. I think the teams will split a pair of evenly played games. Canisius wins on Friday; Connecticut wins Saturday.
Friday, Nov. 29:
Holy Cross at Boston College
Dan: BC outscored competition 33-10 in going 7-0-1 between defeats prior to losing to Maine last Saturday. That's bad news for Holy Cross. Boston College wins.
Chris: The Crusaders are 0-3 against Hockey East competition so far, and are playing a BC team that's coming off a stinging loss at Maine last Saturday. I think the Eagles will put things back in order with a convincing win. Boston College wins.
Tuesday, Dec. 3
American International at Massachusetts- Lowell
Dan: UMass-Lowell already found out the hard way that championships aren't won by preseason rankings. AIC draws them at a tough time; maybe if this were a different time of year, AIC would have a good shot at winning. But right now? UMass-Lowell wins.
Chris: The River Hawks have been surprised by an AHA already this season: Sacred Heart took them down in their season opener. But this is a different UML team, coming in on a five-game winning streak including a sweep of Notre Dame last weekend. I don't see them slipping here. Mass-Lowell wins.
Three things from Atlantic Hockey play in the week at was:
Atlantic Hockey went 3-4-1 in non-conference games this past week, which doesn't sound all that impressive at first blush. But in light of the league's 6-47-4 record coming into the week, it's pretty darn good. Mercyhurst and Rochester Institute of Technology earned splits with Rensselaer and St. Lawrence, respectively, while Air Force went 1-1-1 in games with Colorado College (win) and Denver (tie and loss).
It helped that five of the nine games were played in AHA rinks, a welcome change of pace. Only 12 of the league's previous 57 OOC games were played on home ice.
Air Force owns three of the league's non-conference wins, one more than the Falcons had last year. They'll finish their OOC schedule Dec. 29-30 at Dartmouth in the Ledyard Bank Classic tournament, taking on Northeastern in the first round and either Providence or the host Big Green.
The roller coaster ride continues for American International. The last unbeaten team in conference play is undefeated no more, falling to Connecticut 8-1 on Saturday.
It was a big win for the Huskies, whom had scored a lone goal in losses to Bentley (3-0) and Boston University (4-1) the weekend before.
Add this one to the wild games AIC has played in already this season, but the Yellow Jackets haven't cornered the market on entertainment. Sacred Heart erased deficits of 3-0 and 5-3 to defeat Army 6-5 on Friday. Drew George got the game-winner with 2:12 to play.
After the dust settled around the league, we're left with a seven-way tie for third place, and just six points separating the top and bottom teams in the conference. Other than the Big 10, which hasn't started conference play yet, every other league has at least an 11-point distribution from first to last. It's early but expect parity.
It's certainly not Boston or Minneapolis, but Rochester, N.Y. has produced it fair share of college hockey players. Former Boston College standouts Brian (and Stephen) Gionta and Marty Reasoner hail from Rochester, as do current stars Mark Zengerle (Wisconsin) and Cole Bardeau (Cornell).
Plenty of local talent was on display this past weekend when RIT hosted St. Lawrence. The visiting Saints featured a pair of freshmen from Rha-Cha-Cha: Woody Hudson and Trevor Hills, the son of RIT associate head coach Brian Hills.
Hailing from RochVegas on the RIT side were a trio of players: sophomore Dan Schuler and rookies Garrett McMullen and Mike Rotolo, who both saw their first collegiate action. Rotolo got his first start and earned his first win in net on Saturday.
It's been seven years since I moved from national Division III columnist to covering Atlantic Hockey, but at Thanksgiving time I'm stilling thinking about tournaments, a tradition at the small school level. There are no less than seven on tap for the holiday weekend in men's Division III hockey, and just one, Notre Dame's Shillelagh Tournament, scheduled for D-I.
You can't have enough in-season tournaments, in my opinion. There will be eight D-I Tourneys around New Year's but the more the merrier. Connecticut is the only Atlantic Hockey team that hosts a tournament (the UConn Holiday Classic, also featuring Massachusetts, Quinnipiac and Sacred Heart) and that tradition will leave with the Huskies at the end of the season. Here's hoping another AHA school or two will get into the game.
Correction: Thanks to the many readers for pointing out my omission of the Three Rivers Classic Tournament hosted by Robert Morris at CONSOL Energy Center. Last year's inaugural tournament was a big success, and this year's version on Dec. 27 and 28 features the host Colonials along with Penn State, Bowling Green and Boston College.
Last Week:
Dan: 11-2
Chris: 9-4
On the season:
Dan: 56-24-5 (.688)
Chris: 59-21-5 (.724)
Friday, Nov. 22 and Saturday, Nov. 23:
Holy Cross at Robert Morris
Dan: Holy Cross has a team that just doesn't quit. So does Robert Morris. A big weekend by either of this team can create some separation between themselves and the lower part of the league. We predicted RMU to finish middle-to-high. We said the same with Holy Cross. They'll split. Holy Cross wins Friday; RMU wins on Saturday.
Chris:The season really begins to take shape when you start seeing the two-game series between east and west scheduling pod teams. This is just the second such series played this season, and it'll be a good one with two teams in the middle of the pack looking to break out. The teams split in the Crusaders' last visit in 2012 and I think they'll do it again. Robert Morris wins Friday; Holy Cross wins Saturday.
Rensselaer at Mercyhurst
Dan: RPI got swept last weekend by Union in a series they should've taken at least three points in as the preseason league champion. Mercyhurst is rolling. But there will be too much Engineers. RPI sweeps.
Chris: This is the second non-AHA team to visit the Mercyhurst Ice Center this season, a rarity. RPI has never played there, but that disadvantage is offset by that No. 14 ranking. The Engineers are probably still smarting from last weekend's sweep at the hands of arch-rival Union. I think they rebound here. RPI sweeps.
St. Lawrence at Rochester Institute of Technology
Dan: RIT is really struggling, and as good as I think they can be, I'm starting to sway against them. SLU has a dynamic offense that can carry a sometimes-lapse in defense and goaltending. When I saw them play at Brown earlier this year, their ability to explode out of a zone was pretty amazing. SLU sweeps.
Chris: The Tigers always seem to give SLU trouble, dating all the way back to RIT's first season in Division I when they stunned the then 14th ranked Saints at Ritter Arena. Two seasons ago it was an amazing come-from-behind victory for RIT at Blue Cross Arena. The teams played a fairly even series in the North Country last season, splitting the games. But RIT is struggling right now to play a full 60 minutes of hockey, and lapses in almost every game have been costly. SLU dropped out of the Poll this week after a pair of tough losses at home to Colgate and Cornell, but I think are the better team and will rebound here against a desperate Tiger squad. SLU sweeps
Denver vs. Air Force
Dan: Air Force is on fire these days, and I think that might be enough for them to upset the Pioneers at home, as crazy as that might sound. They're not winning on Saturday, though. Air Force on Friday. Denver on Saturday.
Chris: Denver leads the all-time series 32-3 with the Falcons' last win coming in 2008. The teams play at The Academy on Friday and then move to Magness Arena on Saturday. Air Force is on a (Rocky Mountain) high after beating cross-town rival Colorado College on Tuesday, but I think will come up short in this series. Denver sweeps.
Sacred Heart vs Army
Dan: Both teams are extremely Jekyll and Hyde. They'll play well for swaths of a game, then shoot themselves in the foot. As an editorial, playing each other for points now is going to come back and haunt both teams if they're in a playoff race later in the year. SHU wins on Friday. Army wins on Saturday.
Chris: These squads are getting their season series over quickly – they just played back on Nov. 11 with the Black Knights coming out on top 6-2. Their second and third (and final) meetings see Army hosting on Friday and he action shifting to Milford on Saturday. I'm picking the Black Knights to sweep this weekend and the season series. Army sweeps.
Friday, Nov. 22:
Niagara at Michigan
Dan: Michigan is ranked #5 in the nation. With the way the AHA has played in non-conference games this year, it's not if the Wolverines will win, it's by how much. Michigan wins.
Chris: Niagara has played a tough non-conference schedule (Clarkson, Denver, Ohio State) and it doesn't get any easier with the No. 5 Wolverines. Michigan wins.
Saturday, Nov. 23:
Connecticut at American International
Dan: For the early part of the year, this is the eastern pod's showcase game of the first half right now. If AIC wins, they're going to be a serious contender. If UConn wins, AIC is still a contender, but the noise will come out of the woodwork if their run is starting to plateau. Right now, this game is a little bit more important to UConn because of the loss last week. AIC is in this for the long haul, but I think there's too much goalie in Storrs for the plucky AIC offense. UConn wins.
Chris: UConn needs a win to re-establish itself as one of the top teams in the AHA, while the Yellow Jackets can add to their record-setting start in conference play. At the beginning of the season I wouldn't have called this game a tossup, but it's a tough one to call with UConn having a slight edge. Connecticut wins.
Tuesday, Nov. 26
Army at American International
Dan: See below. AIC wins.
Chris:After what I predict to be a loss on Saturday, I expect the Yellow Jackets to rebound here. AIC wins.
Niagara at Cornell
Dan: Going to Cornell is something everyone should do once in their life. But I mean that as a fan, not as an opponent. Cornell wins.
Chris: Another game, another ranked opponent for the Purple Eagles, who travel to Ithaca to face the No. 18 Big Red. Unfortunately, I think Niagara's non-conference schedule concludes with a loss. Cornell wins.
Another week in the books in the college hockey universe, and another week of solid play across Atlantic Hockey. Here's three things to chew on as you reflect on your weekend, with a little help from some of our favorite superheroes:
AIC Yellow Jackets – The Dark Knight
Chris will get more in depth this week when he crosses over and discusses the Yellow Jackets as part of the "This Week" series, but I have to state the obvious about this team. They're the last perfect team in the AHA in conference play, and the retained that title on Friday by virtue of a 1-0 victory against Holy Cross. It was a stark contrast to their 8-7 win over Bentley the week prior, but it made them 2-1 in one-goal games this year.
Absolutely nobody could predict that AIC would build on last year's success. Given their program's history, more prognostications had them as an 11th place team given the graduation of Ben Meisner, Adam Pleskach, and arguably their best senior class ever. But their team has only gotten stronger, bolstered by a solid recruiting class. They're playing timely hockey, and they're showing marked improvements each time they're on the ice. There's a long way to go with the season barely a month over, but the Yellow Jackets are starting to break away from the pack by taking control of their own destiny. After a big matchup with the Crusaders this past weekend, they'll play another one-game series this weekend when they take on Connecticut. To say that game will be huge is an understatement; there will be major effects on the league table depending on who wins.
In the eastern pod, maybe AIC isn't the breakaway team everyone wants (given their national ranking as pretty much dead last in attendance), but they could be the breakaway team everyone needs (demonstrating the parity and growth within the AHA).
Bentley – Man of Steel
Coming off their one-goal loss in the wild home game against AIC, the Falcons faced questions about their consistency (or lack thereof). But they bounced back this weekend with authority, overcoming two teams that were kryptonite to them a year ago. They shut out Connecticut on Freitas Forum turf on Friday with an overall dominant performance that was the most complete game Bentley played to that point; last year, Bentley lost at Connecticut, 9-0.
On Saturday, they returned home to play Holy Cross, a team considered a chief rival but one that had won the previous three season series. After blowing a 1-0 lead, Bentley rallied from down 2-1 to tie the game in the third and win on the power play in overtime. Last year, they blew a 1-0 lead and lost by that 2-1 margin in a game that sent their season into a tailspin.
The wins catapulted Bentley back into the top of the AHA's ever-shifting tectonic plate. But it made up for the two losses to Sacred Heart and AIC, teams the Falcons were expected to defeat. They're now right where they should be in many's eyes, and the resilience they showed in overcoming two teams perceived as historically better than them will give Bentley momentum heading into their bye week. They'll next head to Air Force for Thanksgiving, a place they scored three points two years ago, before wrapping up their AHA first half with Robert Morris. As the eastern division heads into interdivisional play, the Falcons are positioning themselves as the team able to leap arenas in a single bound, but the pressure will be on them to prove that right.
Connecticut, Holy Cross, and Army – Blankman
For those of you who have no idea who Blankman is, it's a terrible movie starring Damon Wayans. It's one of those awesomely bad flicks that strangely sucks you in when it's on television, but at the same time, you'll never know why someone actually paid the rights to watch it.
Connecticut, Holy Cross, and Army combined this weekend to go 0-6 after Army defeated Sacred Heart on Tuesday. The Huskies had beaten Holy Cross on Tuesday, but the three schools, forced to play nine games in four days time combined, were clearly tired and running on fumes by the time the weekend ended. Army had to follow up a road trip to SHU with a trip up to Niagara, where they were outscored 13-3 in two losses. Holy Cross was shutout by AIC, then lost in overtime to Bentley. And Connecticut lost to Bentley before losing a non-conference game at Boston University on Sunday, 4-1. That last game was especially hurtful given that the game was supposed to be a litmus test for the Huskies entry into Hockey East next year.
UConn is now four points behind Air Force for first and a full game behind both Bentley and AIC in the early goings of a division they were supposed to run away with. Holy Cross is now sub-.500 in league play, and Army is 1-5-0, staring up at the rest of the league. Ultimately, for these teams, this weekend won't define their season, just like watching "Blankman" won't define anyone's taste in movies. But this weekend will be one that fans will look back on and wonder what happened.
Last Week:
Dan: 7-5
Chris: 8-4
On the season:
Dan: 45-22-5 (.660)
Chris: 50-17-5 (.729)
Friday, Nov. 15 and Saturday, Nov. 16:
Canisius at Ohio State
Dan: Canisius got the train back on the tracks with a big win last week against Robert Morris. But despite raising their championship banner, last year's 7th place team finished the regular season under .500 and is 2-5-0 to start this year, which was one of my preseason concerns. Ohio State sweeps.
Chris: Canisius coach Dave Smith returns to his Alma Mater for a weekend series, the first ever meeting between the two schools. The Buckeyes swept Niagara last weekend but I think the Golden Griffins can earn a split. Ohio State wins Friday; Canisius wins Saturday.
Army at Niagara
Dan: There's a wide chasm between the league's top teams and the league's bottom teams. Niagara might be down compared to last year, but Army's only win has come against a Sacred Heart team that's come back to earth at times since beating UMass-Lowell. Niagara sweeps.
Chris: Army is coming off a crazy week that saw the Black Knights lose 11-0 on Sunday at Boston College but win convincingly, 6-2 at Sacred Heart on Tuesday. Saturday's game sold out early in the week and Friday might be a sellout as well. Niagara leads the all-time series 9-1 and I think will take both games. Niagara sweeps.
Friday, Nov. 15:
American International at Holy Cross
Dan: You know what? I'm buying on AIC. Their offense is explosive, and they can score goals. I think they might be for real in the east. But they struggled to stop shots, and their defense is suspect. They're going to be good this year, but Holy Cross is still a little better. Holy Cross wins.
Chris: AIC has been involved in some high scoring games so far this season but I expect this one to be a little less run-and-gun. The Yellow Jackets are off to a great 2-0 start in league play, but I like the Crusaders on home ice. Holy Cross wins.
Bentley at Connecticut
Dan: There's no way Bentley's defense plays as badly as it did against AIC. I also think revenge is a dish best served cold after they were blown out at Freitas Forum last year, 9-0. Bentley wins.
Chris: This one's a tossup. UConn has more momentum right now, and I think they'll have the edge on home ice. UConn wins.
Saturday, Nov. 16:
Robert Morris at Air Force
Dan: Chris and I will probably have the same reasoning, which is that RMU has to fly west for one game. That's a long way to go for a couple of hours. Air Force wins.
Chris: Meetings between these old CHA foes are always entertaining. It's tough for visiting teams to go out to Colorado Springs for a single game. Air Force wins.
Sacred Heart at Yale
Dan: It won't be an upset if Sacred Heart wins in my book. CJ Marottolo used to be an assistant for Keith Allain, knows his system like a book, and I'm sure would love to beat his old boss on his own home ice. I'm rooting for SHU big time, but my head is telling me otherwise. Yale wins.
Chris: It's a short trip for the Pioneers but a tall order to knock of the defending national champs. Yale wins.
Holy Cross at Bentley
Dan: This is a budding rivalry, and it's the only time they'll play at Ryan Arena since the other Bentley "home game" is at Fenway Park later this year. It's a series that usually goes to Holy Cross, but I really think Bentley is going to have a compete level through the roof for this. Bentley wins.
Chris:I don't think this will be the kind of game the Falcons saw in their first contest at the JAR (a wild 8-7 loss to AIC). A big difference will be a Bentley win this time out. Bentley wins.
Sunday, Nov. 17:
Connecticut at Boston University
Dan: A lot of Hockey East is watching this game. They want to know what they're getting when UConn comes into the league. BU can't be taking this team lightly, especially with their own growing pains under David Quinn. I was actually on the fence on this one to the point where I had to consult with my hockey expert on who would win – my future wife. Boston University wins.
Chris: This game will be a great measuring stick for the Huskies for their transition to Hockey East. I think BU wins a close one. Boston University wins.
Tuesday, Nov. 12:
Rochester Institute of Technology at Canisius
Dan: RIT is off to back-to-back bad starts to a season, going 1-5-2 this year after going 2-5-1 last year through its first eight games. They struggled with Canisius last year. Canisius wins.
Chris: RIT used to own Canisius but the Golden Griffins won all three meetings last year. The Tigers will be rested while Canisius is coming off a weekend series in Columbus. I think that will be the difference. RIT wins.
Niagara at Mercyhurst
Dan: Like last week, this is a game that Mercyhurst needs to win to establish themselves atop the league table. They rose to the occasion last week, and I think they do it again this week. Mercyhurst wins.
Chris: I expect both these teams to finish in the top four this season, so this is a key game for both teams. I'm picking the Lakers on home ice. Mercyhurst wins.
Air Force at Colorado College
Dan: Colorado College is 1-6-1, but that's because they're 1-4-1 in the NCHC. They were swept by Clarkson, who's a lot better than people thought. I'm thinking they're going to be better than the stats indicate when the teams meet at World Arena. Colorado College wins.
Chris: This is my upset special, if you can call a win over a 1-6-1 team an upset. Air Force wins.
Three things from Atlantic Hockey action this past weekend:
A quartet of western scheduling pod games this past weekend may be an indicator of things to come in Atlantic Hockey. Canisius, Mercyhurst, Rochester Institute of Technology and Robert Morris all went 1-1 in round robin play. The details:

— Canisius Hockey (@GriffsHockey) November 10, 2013
Four teams, four wins, four losses. A closed loop with nothing decided.
Cody Wydo sailed under the radar his first two seasons at Robert Morris despite scoring 34 goals, including 21 last season.
Colonials' coach Derek Schooley told me this before the start of this season: "…He's ready to take the next step. He hasn't gotten any Atlantic Hockey accolades. I think this might be the year you see Cody really break out and become a notable name in Atlantic Hockey."
I had selected Wydo for my all-rookie team in 2012 and had him making the all-AHA third team last season, but he didn't get the recognition that counted, shut out of the official league awards.
Wydo has been impossible to ignore so far this season, though. He has ten goals so far, including seven over a two game stretch. Wydo had four goals in a 5-4 loss to Penn State on Nov. 2, and followed that with a hat-trick in a 6-1 win over Canisius on Friday.
RIT was able to hold Wydo to a single assist on Saturday.
His 10 goals lead the league and place him second overall in Division I.
Fifteen goals in one game. Ya gotta love college hockey.
American International spoiled Bentley's first home game of the season with a wild 8-7 win on Friday.
Bentley had opened a 4-1 lead just seventeen minutes into the contest, but AIC scored the next five goals and never trailed after that. The Yellow Jackets were outshot 42-28, but went 3-4 on the power play.
AICs "Killer P's" (I'm not sure if anyone actually calls them that, but they should): seniors Jon Puskar and Blake Peak and juniors Chris Porter and Jason Popek, combined for three goals and seven points overall. Junior forward Alexander MacMillan had a game-high five points for AIC.
Seven different players scored goals for Bentley, which lost a wild 4-3 overtime thriller to AIC in their final regular season contest last year.
MacMillan's five point evening gives him seven points in four games so far this season, good for fifth nationally in points per game.
Last Week:
Dan: 11-1
Chris: 11-1
On the season:
Dan: 38-17-5 (.675)
Chris: 42-13-5 (.742)
Friday, Nov. 8 and Saturday, Nov. 9:
Niagara at Ohio State
Dan: This is a game that Niagara would've won last year. But Niagara's lost some of what made them who they were last year, and the league is so abysmal in non-conference play that I'm pretty sure the rest of the NCAA put a hex on them. Ohio State sweeps.
Chris: Ohio State is coming off a nice win over Minnesota-Duluth and is 3-1 in its last four games. I think that and the home ice advantage favors the Buckeyes. Ohio State sweeps.
Friday, Nov. 8:
Holy Cross at Army
Dan: This is one of those "impossible to predict" games. Army is better than their record would indicate, and Rob Tadazak could go out and win this game (not steal. Win.). I might be crazy, but I really think Army can pull this one off. Army wins.
Chris: These teams are a combined 1-9 so far, but I expect a good game. I think the Crusaders pull out a narrow victory. Holy Cross wins.
American International at Bentley
Dan: Ryan Soderquist went for broke last year when he pulled his goalie with under a minute left in overtime. It made headlines for all the wrong reasons because AIC won the faceoff, iced the puck, scored, and won the 9th seed while sending Bentley to Canisius for the first round (instead of playing at home). Coupel revenge with their offense breaking out. Plus it's the Falcon home opener. Bentley wins.
Chris: The Falcons will be looking for a bit of revenge against the Yellow Jackets, who swept them on the final weekend of the regular season, stealing away the final home ice playoff spot. I think Bentley gets a win here in its home ice opener. Bentley wins.
Rochester Institute of Technology at Mercyhurst
Dan: All signs are pointing to Mercyhurst winning this one. Nobody wants a potential trap game against RIT, which is exactly what this is. RIT wins.
Chris: The Tigers are 9-1-1 at the Mercyhurst Ice center in their last 11 visits, and are desperate for a win. But I'm going with the Lakers, who should have confidence after blasting Air Force 8-2 on home ice last weekend. Mercyhurst wins.
Canisius at Robert Morris
Dan: With traditional powers like Air Force and RIT, last year's big dog in Niagara, and the flavor of the month in Canisius and Mercyhurst, people are forgetting that RMU was a solid team last year that won 20 and went 11-5-4 at home. RMU wins.
Chris: This is a tough call, but I think it will come down to goaltending, and I give the Golden Griffins the advantage there. Canisius wins.
Sacred Heart at Penn State
Dan: Sacred Heart's improved, but so is Penn State. Transitive property said that Penn State will win this one. Penn State wins.
Chris: The Nittany Lions pulled out a wild game at Robert Morris last weekend, and should have an easier time with the Pioneers on home ice. Penn State wins.
Saturday, Nov. 9:
Mercyhurst at Canisius
Dan: Canisius has the latest home opener in Division I, and it'll save the best for last when it raises a conference championship and NCAA tournament banner in the face of the team they beat to get there. This one's going to be wild and emotionally charged. But I think, at the end of the day, Mercyhurst has too much. Mercyhurst wins.
Chris:This will be the 114th meeting between the two schools, tops on the list for both teams. It's also a rematch of last season's AHA title game. I'm going with the Lakers to get a road win. Mercyhurst wins.
Rochester Institute of Technology at Robert Morris
Dan: RIT gave up a lot of goals to RMU last year in losing two of their three meetings. It's also a weird bus trip for the Tigers, who will have to go back through Erie to get home from Pittsburgh. RMU wins.
Chris: In their last meeting at 84 Lumber Arena, the Tigers finally won after coming up short in six previous attempts. But I think that trend will be short-lived. RMU wins.
Sunday, Nov. 10:
Army at Boston College
Dan: A plus for Army is that BC is playing at Agganis on Friday, which means there's going to be a substantial amount of banged up bodies. That's immediately counteracted by BC's ridiculous depth, which includes two solid goalies in Brian Billett and Thatcher Demko. My heart's with Army, but my brain's telling me this one might get ugly. Boston College wins.
Chris: This could be a trap game for BC, having played BU on Friday. But I have to go with the eighth-ranked Eagles. Boston College wins.
Tuesday, Nov. 12:
Army at Sacred Heart
Dan: After playing two games in all of October, Army gets three in a work week. Then again, the only "fatigue" Army ever knows is the ones they wear to work. Army wins.
Chris: Army will be playing its third game in five days, but I still like the Black Knights to pull out a close game. Army wins.
Holy Cross at Connecticut
Dan: I can't wait to see Holy Cross's offense go head-to-head with the pound-for-pound best goalie in the AHA on a fast sheet of ice in Storrs. I'm taking UConn, but get ready for some great fireworks. UConn wins.
Chris: I wish I could be at this game, because I think it's going to be highly entertaining. I'm giving the nod to the Huskies at home. UConn wins.

Poor quality. I went to the NRA store and got a much better one for about the same price.
No problem. Product is what I wanted.
been looking for one for a long time and was worth the wait....Thanks Gary
Your display pucture shows the gun strap incorrectly placed. A sudden sprint for cover will cause the gun to slip out. Placing it below the dovetail will lock it in securely. Still an awesome product. I agree that it could use some extra padding near the barrel end where it begins to dig in and rub raw during extended use. I just cut up some mole skin to help with that issue. Could maybe also use a spare mag pouch.
works well, needs a little extra padding

Stylelist recently posted a video featuring a hairstylist in Austin who demonstrated how she gives clients a head full of volumized curls. The method involved a curling iron, rollers, and a bunch of picks ... and it looked really freaking difficult if you want to know the truth.
When I saw the finished product, I realized I've been achieving the very same look since I was in high school -- with a much simpler technique. Read on to find out how I get the basically the same look in just a few minutes.
I often do this style when I want lots of volume and curl that's concentrated toward the ends of my hair- not all over my head, a la the "hot roller" look of the 80s and 90s. It's a favorite now in particular, because it only takes about five minutes to get the look (and 30 minutes to an hour of letting it set while I do other things).
Start by making a ponytail at the very top of your head -- the higher the better.
Take very small sections of your ponytail and roll them up in rollers. It doesn't matter which direction you roll them in- Just make a big pile of them at the top of your head.
Bam! You're done! Let them set for as long as you have time. (I used to sleep this way sometimes as a teenager! And my curls would last all day long.)
Take the curls out ...
Brush your hair so that the hot rolled curls settle into a more natural look. You'll have tons of volume from your hair being pulled up for so long -- and none of those horrible hot roller curls around your face!
Style it however you want and spray with a little hairspray to maintain the curl. My wavy, volumized hair lasted all day long today -- even on a 90-degree day with high humidity!
Got any hair styling secrets you'd like to share? Tell me in the comments!

Oh Lindsay, i adore you so. But duckface(popular with 7th and 8th graders in every single facebook pic they take), in the second pic? Nooooooo! Lol.
Duckface??? REALLY??? You are SO PRETTY!!! WHY would you duckfacify that gorgeous smile???? Please don't do that anymore!
meanwhile, I'm jealous of your hair. If you ever decide to sell it, let me know.
Ha! I didn't mean to duckface! I just feel dumb smiling like a moron in every picture. ;D
And why isn't anyone talking about the THIRD picture? I sort of liked the CRAZY EYES.
Great tip. I haven't had long hair since I was a child and I have no idea what to do with it. When you say brush, do you mean brush like normal or do that finger brushing thing? I am so use to brushing my hair that it is a big mistake when I using a curling iron.
I have a paddle brush and I just brushed through it a few times. I'm going for that Kate Middleton look now. Her hair is AMAZING.
And I have to share this comment about the "duckface" pic from my friend Sarah on Facebook:
"I wouldn't call that duckface - you do look a little surprised, like you pooted and a little poop came out."
LOLOLOL. I hate to say it, but-- she's right! That's EXACTLY what I look like!
Loved the third picture. You look like you were having fun and being silly. Silly is necessary. Duckface is an abomination. (not that I'm obsessed with it or anything.)
Omg I loved your step by step pics! The third one has me Lmaooo!!! You have the "YOU BETTER NOT MESS W ME, IM CRAZY FACE" priceless!!! LOL I do the same thing you do, only before I take the rollers off of my head I put my blow dryer on low heat to them for about two minutes! It gives it the extra heat and more bounce. Well at least with my hair it does! I also put Chi Silk Infuser before I roll them up so they can set! Thanks for sharing, I love your posts!!!

Some dissatisfied iPhone 5 owners are taking to message boards and social media to complain about finding small nicks, scratches, or scuffs on their new smartphone right out of the box.
Preorders will begin a week before the handset goes on sale at rival wireless carrier Sprint.
Shortages of the iPhone 5 are down to the anodised aluminium it's made of, which is causing problems for factory workers.
The company's latest design-focused notebook showpiece is extremely slim, and will be available in the third quarter.
The curved Android is expected to hit the US next year. Could Sprint be the first carrier to get its hands on the phone?
Pre-orders start today for the curved and flexible 6-inch smartphone.
Something for nothing and something for something: Amazon will give you a $5 Appstore credit for free and a $5 game credit with the purchase of a PC game.
Thickly padded, and handmade from premium materials, the Pad & Quill Sleeve for MacBook will fit your 13-inch Air or Pro and fills an important need if you don't want to use a dedicated, padded laptop bag.
The rough, tough, physically fit Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is set to make its debut here in the UK next month, according to reports.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 will have an indestructible screen when it arrives in the new year, according to new reports.

Verisign targets bank claims in name collisions fight
Verisign has rubbished the Commonwealth Bank of Australia's claim that its dot-brand gTLD, .cba, is safe.
In a lengthy letter to ICANN today, Verisign senior vice president Pat Kane said that, contrary to CBA's claims, the bank is only responsible for about 6% of the traffic .cba sees at the root.
It's the latest volley in the ongoing fight about the security risks of name collisions — the scenario where an applied-for gTLD string is already in broad use on internal networks.
CBA's application for .cba has been categorized as "uncalculated risk" by ICANN, meaning it faces more reviews and three to six months of delay while its risk profile is assessed.
But in a letter to ICANN last month, CBA said "the cause of the name collision is primarily from CBA internal systems" and "it is within the CBA realm of control to detect and remediate said systems".
The bank was basically claiming that its own computers use DNS requests for .cba already, and that leakage of those requests onto the internet was responsible for its relatively high risk profile.
At the time we doubted that CBA had access to the data needed to draw this conclusion and Verisign said today that a new study of its own "shows without a doubt that CBA's initial conclusions are incorrect".
Since the publication of Interisle Consulting's independent review into root server error traffic — which led to all applied-for strings being split into risk categories — Verisign has evidently been carrying out its own study.
While Interisle used data collected from almost all of the DNS root servers, Verisign's seven-week study only looked at data gathered from the A-root and J-root, which it manages.
According to Verisign, .cba gets roughly 10,000 root server queries per day — 504,000 in total over the study window — and hardly any of them come from the bank itself.
Most appear to be from residential apartment complexes in Chiba, Japan, where network admins seem to have borrowed the local airport code — also CBA — to address local devices.
About 80% of the requests seen come from devices using DNS Service Discovery services such as Bonjour, Verisign said.
Bonjour is an Apple-created technology that allows computers to use DNS to automatically discover other LAN-connected devices such as printers and cameras, making home networking a bit simpler.
Another source of the .cba traffic is McAfee's antivirus software, made by Intel, which Verisign said uses DNS to check whether code is virus-free before executing it.
While error traffic for .cba was seen from 170 countries, Verisign said that Japan — notable for not being Australia — was the biggest source, with almost 400,000 queries (79% of the total). It said:
Our measurement study reveals evidence of a substantial Internet-connected infrastructure in Japan that lies beneath the surface of the public-facing internet, which appears to rely on the non-resolution of the string .CBA.
This infrastructure appear hierarchical and seems to include municipal and private administrative and service networks associated with electronic resource management for office and residential building facilities, as well as consumer devices.
One apartment block in Chiba is is responsible for almost 5% of the daily .cba queries — about 500 per day on average — according to Verisign's letter, though there were 63 notable sources in total.
ICANN's proposal for reducing the risk of these name collisions causing problems would require CBA, as the registry, to hunt down and warn organizations of .cba's impending delegation.
Verisign reiterates the point made by RIPE NCC last month: this would be quite difficult to carry out.
But it does seem that Verisign has done a pretty good job tracking down the organizations that would be affected by .cba being delegated.
The question that Verisign's letter and presentation does not address is: what would happen to these networks if .cba was delegated?
If .cba is delegated, what will McAfee's antivirus software do? Will it crash the user's computer? Will it allow unsafe code to run? Will it cause false positives, blocking users from legitimate content?
Or will it simply fail gracefully, causing no security problems whatsoever?
Likewise, what happens when Bonjour expects .cba to not exist and it suddenly does? Do Apple computers start leaking data about the devices on their local network to unintended third parties?
Or does it, again, cause no security problems whatsoever?
Without satisfactory answers to those questions, maybe name collisions could be introduced by ICANN with little to no effect, meaning the "risk" isn't really a risk at all.
Answering those questions will of course take time, which means delay, which is not something most applicants want to hear right now.
Verisign's study targeted CBA because CBA singled itself out by claiming to be responsible for the .cba error traffic, not because CBA is a client of rival registry Afilias.
The bank can probably thank Verisign for its study, which may turn out to be quite handy.
Still, it would be interesting to see Verisign conduct a similar study on, say, .windows (Microsoft), .cloud (Symantec) or .bank (Financial Services Roundtable), which are among the 35 gTLDs with "uncalculated" risk profiles that Verisign promised to provide back-end registry services for before it decided that new gTLDs were dangerous.
You can read Verisign's letter and presentation here. I've rotated the PDF to make the presentation more readable here.
Artemis plans name collision conference next week
Artemis Internet, the NCC Group subsidiary applying for .secure, is to run a day-long conference devoted to the topic of new gTLD name collisions in San Francisco next week.
Google, PayPal and DigiCert are already lined up to speak at the event, and Artemis says it expects 60 to 70 people, many of them from major new gTLD applicants, to show up.
The free-to-attend TLD Security Forum will discuss the recent Interisle Consulting report into name collisions, which compared the problem in some cases to the Millennium Bug and recommended extreme caution when approving new gTLDs.
Brad Hill, head of ecosystem security at PayPal, will speak to "Paypal's Concerns and Recommendations on new TLDs", according to the agenda.
That's notable because PayPal is usually positioned as being aligned with the other side of the debate — it's the only company to date Verisign has been able to quote from when it tries to show support for its own concerns about name collisions.
The Interisle report led to ICANN recommending months of delay for hundreds of new gTLD strings — basically every string that already gets more daily root server error traffic than legitimate queries for .sj, the existing TLD with the fewest look-ups.
The New TLD Applicants Group issued its own commentary on these recommendations, apparently drafted by Artemis CTO Alex Stamos, earlier this week, calling for all strings except .home and .corp to be treated as low risk.
NTAG also said in its report that it has been discussing with SSL certificate authorities ways to potentially speed up risk-mitigation for the related problem of internal name certificate collisions, so it's also notable that DigiCert's Dan Timpson is slated to speak at the Forum.
The event may be webcast for those unable to attend in person, according to Artemis. If it is, DI will be "there".
On the same topic, ICANN yesterday published a video interview with DNS inventor Paul Mockapetris, in which he recounted some name collision anecdotes from the Mesolithic period of the internet. It's well worth a watch.
Verisign confirms .gov downtime, blames algorithm
Verisign this morning confirmed yesterday's reports that the .gov top-level domain went down for some internet users due to a DNSSEC problem, which it said was related to an algorithm change.
In a posting to various mailing lists, Verisign principal engineer Duane Wessels said:
On the morning of August 14, a relatively small number of networks may have experienced an operational disruption related to the signing of the .gov zone. In preparation for a previously announced algorithm rollover, a software defect resulted in publishing the .gov zone signed only with DNSSEC algorithm 8 keys rather than with both algorithm 7 and 8. As a result .gov name resolution may have failed for validating recursive name servers. Upon discovery of the issue, Verisign took prompt action to restore the valid zone.
Verisign plans to proceed with the previously announced .gov algorithm rollover at the end of the month with the zone being signed with both algorithms for a period of approximately 10 days.
This clarifies that the problem was slightly different to what had been assumed yesterday.
It was related to change of the cryptographic algorithm used to create .gov's DNSSEC keys, a relatively rare event, rather than a scheduled key rollover, which is a rather more frequent occurrence.
The problem would only have made .gov domains (and consequently web sites, email, etc) inaccessible for users of networks where DNSSEC validation is strictly enforced, which is quite small.
The US ISP with the strongest support for DNSSEC is Comcast. Since turning on its validators it has reported dozens of instances of DNSSEC failing — mostly in second-level .gov domains, where DNSSEC is mandated by US policy.
On two other occasions Comcast has blogged about the whole .gov TLD failing DNSSEC validation due to problems keeping keys up to date.
The general problem is widespread enough, and the impact severe enough, that Comcast has had to create an entirely new technology to prevent borked key rollovers making web sites go dark for its customers.
Called Negative Trust Anchors, it's basically a Band-Aid that allows the ISP to deliberately ignore DNSSEC on a given domain while it waits for that domain's owner to sort out its key problem.
The technology was created following the widely reported nasa.gov outage last year.
It's really little wonder that so few organizations are interested in deploying DNSSEC today.
Yesterday's .gov problem may have been minor, lasting only an hour or two, but had the affected TLD been .com, and had DNSSEC deployment been more widespread, everyone on the planet would have noticed.
Under ICANN contract, DNSSEC is mandatory for new gTLDs at the top level, but not the second level.
Reports: .gov fails due to DNSSEC error
The .gov top-level domain suffered a DNSSEC problem today and was unavailable to some internet users, according to reports.
According to mailing lists and the SANS Internet Storm Center, it appeared that .gov rolled one of its DNSSEC keys without telling the root zone about the update.
This meant that anyone whose DNS servers do strict DNSSEC validation — a relatively small number of networks — would have been unable to access .gov web sites, email and other resources.
As a matter of policy, all second-level .gov domains have to be DNSSEC-signed.
The problem was corrected quite quickly — looks like within an hour or two — but as SANS noted, caching issues may prolong the impact.
Both .gov and the root zone are managed by Verisign, which isn't on the best of terms with the US government at the moment.
Dotless domains "dangerous", security study says
An independent security study has given ICANN a couple dozen very good reasons to continue outlaw "dotless" domain names, but stopped short of recommending an outright ban.
The study, conducted by boutique security outfit Carve Systems and published by ICANN this morning, confirms that dotless domains — as it sounds, a single TLD label with no second-level domain and no dot — are potentially "dangerous".
If dotless domains were to be allowed by ICANN, internet users may unwittingly send their private data across the internet instead of a local network, Carve found.
That's basically the same "internal name collision" problem outlined in a separate paper, also published today, by Interisle Consulting (more on that later).
But dotless domains would also open up networks to serious vulnerabilities such as cookie leakage and cross-site scripting attacks, according to the report.
"A bug in a dotless website could be used to target any website a user frequents," it says.
Internet Explorer, one of the many applications tested by Carve, automatically assumes dotless domains are local network resources and gives them a higher degree of trust, it says.
Such domains also pose risks to users of standard local networking software and residential internet routers, the study found. It's not just Windows boxes either — MacOS and Unix could also be affected.
These are just a few of the 25 distinct security risks Carve identified, 10 of which are considered serious.
ICANN has a default prohibition on dotless gTLDs in the new gTLD Applicant Guidebook, but it's allowed would-be registries to specially request the ability to go dotless via Extended Evaluation and the Registry Services Evaluation Process (with no guarantee of success, of course).
So far, Google is the only high-profile new gTLD applicant to say it wants a dotless domain. It wants to turn .search into such a service and expects to make a request for it via RSEP.
Other portfolio applicants, such as Donuts and Uniregistry, have also said they're in favor of dotless gTLDs.
Given the breadth of the potential problems identified by Carve, you might expect a recommendation that dotless domains should be banned outright. But that didn't happen.
Instead, the company has recommended that only certain strings likely to have a huge impact on many internet users — such as "mail" and "local" — be permanently prohibited as dotless TLDs.
It also recommends lots of ways ICANN could allow dotless domains and mitigate the risk. For example, it suggests massive educational outreach to hardware and software vendors and to end users.
Establish guidelines for software and hardware manufacturers to follow when selecting default dotless names for use on private networks. These organizations should use names from a restricted set of dotless domain names that will never be allowed on the public Internet.
Given that most people have never heard of ICANN, that internet standards generally take a long time to adopt, and allowing for regular hardware upgrade cycles, I couldn't see ICANN pulling off such a feat for at least five to 10 years.
I can't see ICANN approving any dotless domains any time soon, but it does appear to have wiggle-room in future. ICANN said:
The ICANN Board New gTLD Program Committee (NGPC) will consider dotless domain names and an appropriate risk mitigation approach at its upcoming meeting in August.

"The first ten years of my career were very much organized around avoiding failure, but my inadequacies were completely self-constructed. Nobody told me that I couldn't do something; nobody told me that I couldn't succeed; I had convinced myself and lived in that self-imposed reality. I think a lot of people do this. They self-sabotage and create all sorts of reasons for not doing things under the misguided assumption that, at some point, they might feel better about themselves and that will finally allow them to take that risk. I don't think that ever happens. You have to push through it and do it as if you have no other choice—because you don't. You just don't."
You can spend an eternity looking elsewhere for truth and love, intelligence and goodwill, imploring God and man—all in vain. You must begin in yourself, with yourself—this is the inexorable law. You cannot change the image without changing the face. First realize that your world is only a reflection of yourself and stop finding fault with the reflection. Attend to yourself, set yourself right—mentally and emotionally. The physical will follow automatically. You talk so much of reforms: economic, social, political. Leave alone the reforms and mind the reformer. What kind of world can a man create who is stupid, greedy, heartless?

There were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic, books of all kinds reflecting every transient stage of my parents' interest, books readable and unreadable, books suitable for a child and books most emphatically not. Nothing was forbidden me. In the seemingly endless rainy afternoons I took volume after volume from the shelves.

Additional Statement From Bishop Lagonegro
Dear Father McLoughlin,
Last Sunday when I spoke to the parishioners of St. Stephen about Father Casmir Mung'aho, Archbishop Dolan and I truly believed from our discussions with Father Casmir that the child he fathered was born before he entered St. Joseph's Seminary here in the Archdiocese of New York. On further investigation, we now know that the child was born during his first year as a student at St. Joseph's Seminary. We are letting you know this so that you know that we are being honest and straightforward with you. You and all the people of St. Stephen are in my prayers. God bless.
Bishop Dominick Lagonegro

We'll be writing fanfiction based on KPop groups! Send us a request if you want one, we'll be happy to do it! :)
The Kpop Fanfic Directory
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Donghae and Eunhyuk were getting ready to perform their single, Oppa Oppa. Decked out in their outrageous suits, Donghae in red, Eunhryuk in yellow, they prepared.
"Donghae, are you ready?" Eunhyuk asked as he at a power bar.
"Yeah, just a little thirsty," he replied.
"Drink some water, it will be okay."
"I will," Donghae said, smiling.
"Guys, it's time," the stage manager says.
"Let's go!" they both said. They got into their positions and wait for their cue. Donghae goes out first.
Ah ah. Hana dul set. Welcome to the Super Show. Let's go! My name is Donghae. Let's party tonight! This was Eunhyuk's cue to go out.
Donghae sings his first verse, and Eunhyuk goes in front of him for his part. They turn to each other, point, and bob their heads as they sing "Hey! Won't you take me to Funky Town?" They fake jog during "I'm international baby, one two, three let's go!"
As they go into the chorus, they glance at each other multiple times. Donghae smiles. When Eunhyuk starts the second verse, Donghae "punches" him in the face.
Before the breakdown of the song, Donghae says "I say fishy you say Oppa! Fishy!"
"Oppa!" The ELFs replied.
Eunhyuk comes in saying, "I say anchovy, you say Oppa! Anchovy!"
"Oppa!" They replied once more.
Both of them say "I say Eunhae, you say Oppa! Eunhae!"
"OPPA!" The ELFs scream even louder than before.
"OPPA!" They both had to smile.
"1, 2, 3, break it down!" As they're dancing, Donghae keeps getting distracted, trying to spin around Eunhyuk early. He had to improvise, since he was right in front of Eunhyuk, facing him. When they rub their hands across their head, he looks over his shoulder to play it off. After they spin around each other, Eunhyuk gives him a hug, which catches him off guard. For the rest of the song, he was either a little early, or a little late.
The song finished, and all the ELFs applauded. As they exited the stage, they put their arms around each other.
"What was with that hug?" Donghae asks.
"Just doing some fan service, you know?" he replied simply, not thinking anything about the question.
"Oh, okay." Donghae said, secretly wishing it was more that just fan service.
Yay! So I figured this would be really cute. I might want to make this into a multi chapter story, so if you'd want me to continue this, just let me know! I am currently planning another multi chapter story too. I'm not sure who the characters will be just yet (So if you want to suggest one, go ahead :D), but I have a basic plot line that I can adjust for the ship that I choose. So if anyone wants a multi chapter with the plot continuing on this, just let me know and this one will probably come out first.
I thought Eunhae would be really easy (and cute) to write about. Personally they're not my absolute favorite ship (Kanghae is, Eunhae is second though haha), but they're easier to write about than Kanghae in my opinion.
I wrote this because of a fancam of Oppa Oppa I saw, and I was going to link to it, but I can't find it now. If I find it, I'll add it later! :)
Imagine your bias asking you out for coffee. As you drink your coffee, he tells you quietly that he loves you.
Imagine your Super Junior bias inviting you to Super Show 5. He calls you up on stage saying "This girl is very special in my heart. Please support us!" and hugs you.
There's a NEW way to enjoy our writings! We're starting to write some KPop imagines. Most of them are really short, between 1 and 5 sentences. Basically, it's little short cheesy things. Most of them will be neutral, meaning you can "choose" who you want (although, I guess you could always interchange names within the imagines and it'll be good. But still.) Others will be things such as "You and your bias from Super Junior" or another group. Just little fun things to hopefully make you smile! We also might start doing scenarios too, but for now we'll just stick to these two. If you have a suggestions for what we should do (such as do scenarios for example), just send us a message, we'll be happy to make you guys happy!!
Thanks for reading,

"Changmin?" Yunho asks, standing at the freezer.
"Yeah?" Changmin replied. He was preoccupied with a game he was playing.
"Did you eat the last fruit pop?" he asks slowly.
"I guess so," he replied, still distracted.
"You know that I always have to have a fruit pop before we perform," he said. It was true, his one request for any dressing room he ever used was fruit pops. And Changmin had eaten the last one.
"Well? I wanted one too."
"But I have to have one!"
"I'm sure you can go one performance without a fruit pop."
"We'll see about that," Yunho thought.
"TVXQ to the stage," the stage manager called. Both members left the room without saying a word to the other.
As they perform, neither dares to look the other in the eyes. Their anger towards each other and the situation cause them to give off a bad vibe. And the Cassiopeias surely picked up on it.
When the performance was over, the Cassies in the audience started chanting "Dong Bang Shin Ki Hwaiting!" Soon enough, the whole audience joined in, Cassie or not. Yunho and Changmin smiled and looked around at the crowd. They made eye contact and immediately looked away. They said their thank you's and goodbye's and made their way off stage.
As Yunho went back to the dressing room, he noticed Changmin wasn't with him. He didn't really care at that point, but he waited for him.
10 minutes pass and Changmin comes in the backdoor with a grocery store bag in his hand. Yunho stares at him in disbelief.
"You went to the STORE?" he asks.
Changmin nods. He hands Yunho the bag. He has a puzzled look on his face.
"It's for you," he simply said. Yunho looks in the bag, and there are strawberry fruit pops inside, his favorite.
"Changmin…" he said.
"Don't say anything. I'm sorry I ate the last one, I should have payed more attention."
"I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have gotten mad; I didn't NEED one… but it was what I usually do, so I was angry. I'm sorry," Yunho replied.
"It's okay, I forgive you," Changmin said. The two members hug each other and go back to the dressing room so they can enjoy the fruit pops.
I KNOW THIS IS TERRIBLE OMG I'M SO SORRY YOU HAD TO READ THIS. I just wanted to go ahead and get a TVXQ fanfic out there. Tell me what you guys what to see next. You can give us a plot, an OTP, a member from a band, etc. We'll be happy to do a fanfic about it!
I (Admin C) am probably not going to post any fanfics for a couple days, I'm going to focus on writing more so I can just que them. But I'll be writing requests too, so send them in!
Thanks for reading,
Admin C :)
"I'll get you next time!" Kangin shouts at Donghae as they play video games. Donghae has beaten Kangin every single time.
"Are you sure? You've said that the past six times and you still lose…" he replied with a know-it-all tone.
"Don't sass me." Kangin simply said. They continued playing, and Kangin lost every time.
"What am I doing wrong?!" he exclaimed.
"Well first off, you're not blocking properly. For instance, when I throw this punch, press the 'B' button." Kangin did as he was told. His character threw up his arm and blocked the punch, He took no damage.
"Wow, it worked!!" he said.
"Now, try this special move, press the down arrow, the 'A' button and the 'B' button altogether and see what happens." As Kangin pressed the buttons together, his character did a roundhouse kick and hit Donghae's character in the face, temporarily leaving him unoriented.
"See? You just have to know what to do, and when." Donghae told him. "Now, let's play a real fight, and let's see if you can beat me this time." He started the fight, and Kangin immediately did the roundhouse kick combo. His character's foot smashed into Donghae's character's face. He took this opportunity to do a couple regular punches. He looked at the damage bars; his character had no damage, Donghae's was almost empty. When Donghae's character finally was able to punch, Donghae did a roundhouse kick combo. Kangin panicked and pressed a few buttons at one time, causing him to dodge it and kick his opponent. Donghae's character was knocked out.
"You did it!" Donghae said, jumping up.
"I did, and it was all because of you," Kangin replied, giving his dongsaeng a man hug.
Just a fun little fluff fanfic :) I LOVE their ship lol, no one really realizes it but it's SO adorable! Hope you liked it!

"This looks like a nice place to sit," Chen thought to himself. He was in the airport alone, he missed his plane. Luckily there was another plane to Korea that day. "Laptop. Check. Coffee. Check."
He logged onto his laptop while he drank his coffee. He looked at his watch. It was 2:32 PM. He still had about 45 minutes until he could board the plane.
"1 New Message" his e-mail read. He clicked on it, only to find it was Kris sending pictures of Ace to the members… again. Delete. Chen had to laugh though, his leader loved that thing like crazy. He decided to log onto his Tumblr account. He pretended he was an EXO fan. No one had any idea it was really him, and the other members didn't know either. "Someday I'll tell them I'm really Chen. Someday." he thought. He always liked trolling people.
As he scrolls down his dashboard drinking his coffee, he comes across pictures and GIFs of the members performing at the SMTOWN concerts. He reblogs them, and likes them.
20 minutes pass, and he's still on Tumblr. Only this time, he's answering his questions from his anons. Some of them are really weird and perverted, but he figured it's okay, because most of them loved him.
Another 20 minutes pass, and the airport announcer announces his flight number. "That's mine! I better get my stuff!" he thought to himself, while shutting down his laptop and putting it in his backpack. He had finished his coffee a while ago, but he didn't feel like throwing it away, so he took the opportunity to throw it away then. He gets his luggage, and makes his way to the line to get on the plane.
The lady checks his ticket, looks up at him, and says "Hey, aren't you Chen from EXO-M?" He nods. "I love you!! Have a good flight!"
"Thanks, I will," he responded. "Someday I'll tell them I'm really Chen. Someday."

McGorry's suspension: The public needs to know more
Manchester High School West Principal MaryEllen McGorry was placed on paid leave in September, just weeks after the school year began. Superintendent Thomas Brennan immediately hired a private consultant to investigate whatever it was the administration thought McGorry did to deserve the suspension. As the year went on, the bills racked up.
McGorry continued to collect her $103,700 salary. On top of that, the outside investigation has cost the city at least $48,000. The city also has continued to pay McGorry's secretary, Denise Michael, who was suspended as well. She was paid $27.80 an hour.
The school board on Monday approved a deal that will allow McGorry to resign, effective in April. She will continue receiving health benefits until June 30th. It seems that the whole, mysterious episode is to be swept under the proverbial rug. Parents and taxpayers should consider that unacceptable.
As it stands, McGorry, a popular principal, will leave under a cloud of suspicion. Her reputation has been called into question, but there is to be no resolution. The people of Manchester are not to know whether their administration was in error or whether one of their principals committed a serious breach of trust. The people deserve to know.
The administration has been mum about the reasons for McGorry's and Michael's suspensions, citing state privacy laws. The state's right-to-know law allows government bodies to keep personnel matters secret. There are good reasons for such a policy, but experience has shown that it is so broad as to become an excuse to keep secret information in which the public has a legitimate interest. Legislators need to look for revisions that will protect privacy while making the public better informed about the governance of public institutions.
