Minnesota approves certificate of need for Sandpiper. http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-puc-approves-certificate-of-need-for-pipeline/306312481/

How special. http://www.inforum.com/news/3760399-police-release-name-officer-and-suspect-robbery-shooting

Let me ask which is tougher: A perfect 1.000 winning ratio for four games or A 0.571 winning ratio over 28 games (that's going 16-12) It'd be interesting to go back through Hak's coaching career at UND and see how many 28 game stretches he went under a 0.571 ratio.

Three months later, and I stand by my take from March:

Who you kidding. Mafia is the fifth Beatle. Or is he the fourth member of ZZ Top? Who's at Alerus Center tonight?

I wonder who'll figure out the theme of today's entries in "Found on Mafia's iPod". (It's pretty easy; there's a dead giveaway in there.)

Mafia's personal credo and theme song.

Welcome to the Don Henley commentary section of Mafia's iPod. On the media: On society:

So living in a house worth more than half a million is a bad thing? ...

Not to be a wet blanket but ... running back?

Get shot after robbing a HoJo's? Who the < bleep > robs a HoJo's?

The news ran a story a couple of days ago where they talked to the woman who was shot in Walmart in GF. She said the gunman said a word before every shot. But she can't remember the word? A traumatic event like that, most folks will hear that word in their mind forever. I guess I wonder what the word was. I have my guess at the word(s).

No, this is Baxter (the robot from Rethink Robotics).

I have no idea who that person was but their site was greatly under-appreciated and they and their site will be missed. Condolences to the friends and family.

C'mon guys, you know the old saws: - TBL scores first they win - TBL doesn't blow third period leads this year (41-0-2) - You're never in trouble in a seven game series until you lose at home Uh ... nevermind ...

After Game 1 of the Cup Finals: 131 - Ray77 98 - The Sicatoka 97 - UND-RedSox fan 72 - andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! 69 - MafiaMan 59 - jimdahl 51 - fight on Sioux Only one player on our sheets did anything last night: Keith w/assist.

I took the link in your post and did two things to it: 1) Removed the "s" --> http://... not https://... 2) Wrapped it in the square braced youtube tags you mention. That's it, and it works in your original post.

Disclaimer: I meant no offense to agnostics, atheists, or members of faiths or religions that do not subscribe to a concept of "Lord". I don't need my own "Meg Brown from Squaw Creek Drive" letter.

I'm starting to wonder about some of those K-Wings teams Brad player/coached, or some of the (AHL) Moose guys he coached.

I've heard he may end up in Toronto ... "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

Steve Johnson ... does anyone know what he was in charge of at SCSU and UNO when he was an assistant there? I ask because Steve was a forward, but he may have coached to meet these two "musts":

Those are "musts" not "wants" (required, not preferred). Notice that the playing at the NCAA DI level is a "want", not a "must". So, we need someone who is at least 12 years post-playing career (as there's only one player coach out there in recent memory: some guy named 'Brad Berry' with the K-Wings). We need someone who stopped playing in 2002-03 season or before (first coaching season: 2003-04).

I rattled down the list of UND guys I thought maybe: James Patrick -- short on the 12 years* Craig Ludwig -- ditto Rick Zombo -- ditto Jason Herter -- ditto Nick Fuher -- ditto Mitch Vig -- ditto Dane Litke -- ditto Mark Pivetz -- ditto *strictly based off what I can find in HockeyDB.com; if that's not correct neither am I.
