“In a replay of the men’s Beanpot title game one night earlier, Northeastern (1) trailed Boston University in the early-going of the Women’s Beanpot final, (2) recovered to hold the lead in the third period, (3) braced defensively when the Terriers pulled their goaltender in the closing two minutes, and (4) were dragged into overtime after BU scored a deflating goal in the frantic final seconds.
“Hold on, it gets better.
“Northeastern converted a power play in the second overtime to win 4-3 Tuesday on an unlikely goal by defender Lauren MacInnis after 21 minutes and 3 seconds of sudden-death hockey—a result that mirrored the extra-man, double-overtime goal that had been scored Monday by defender Jordan Harris.”

Two goals by BU in the first period were followed by four from Northeastern in the second. BU responded two minutes into the third … that drew them within 4-3, and ignited a slow burn of escalation that felt altogether explosive by the end of regulation.
BU’s urgency grew with each unsuccessful charge at Northeastern’s Craig Pantano, whose 40 saves overall would earn him the Eberly Award as top goaltender of the Beanpot. … As the final seconds were unscrolled, BU’s Jake Wise, with no space for error, feinted a shot from the right while delivering a brief cross that Trevor Zegras controlled while charging from the other side of goal to finish just in front of Pantano’s dive.
The game had been equalized 1.2 seconds before the Huskies would have celebrated.
The men won … Monday on a long slap shot in the second overtime by Jordan Harris, a sophomore defenseman. His climactic goal set off an extended roar 79 minutes and 33 seconds into what was the second-longest Beanpot final in front of a tournament-record audience of 17,850.

Democratic primary polling
Looking at this one month snapshot including after Iowa, it looks like Buttigieg is eating Biden’s lunch, both Sanders and Klobuchar have been on a consistent gain, and Warren looks a little down but mostly flat.
A year and a half after starting my new job, I’m finally getting around to decorating my office. First thing up is this beautiful oil painting by my wife Kayla and it’s already been complimented.

“The Department of Justice revealed in a court filing late Friday that it has two dozen emails related to President Donald Trump’s involvement in the withholding of millions in security assistance to Ukraine — a disclosure that came just hours after the Senate voted against subpoenaing additional documents and witnesses in Trump’s impeachment trial, paving the way for his acquittal.
“The filing, released near midnight Friday, marks the first official acknowledgment from the Trump administration that emails about the President’s thinking related to the aid exist, and that he was directly involved in asking about and deciding on the aid as early as June. The administration is still blocking those emails from the public and has successfully kept them from Congress.”

“Different types of moss bind environmental toxins such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides while producing oxygen at the same time.”
“Controllable ventilation technology allows airflow to be intensified, meaning that the filter effect can be increased as required.”
“Water provision is either connected or independent, thanks to a fully automated irrigation system.”
“Energy is provided via grid connection.”
“Mosses store large quantities of moisture, and the considerably increased evaporation surface creates an immense cooling effect.”

“With the House bill, legislators seem to be trying to take NASA’s human exploration program and give it over to the Boeing Company, going back to an era of cost-plus contracting.”
