Quote from: stereax on August 23, 2026, 05:08:05 PMArizona State men's hockey player collapsed during outdoor exercise Thursday, remains hospitalized.

Matthew Mayich, a 21-year-old defenseman and St. Louis Blues prospect, is hospitalized after collapsing during an outdoor workout at Arizona State University's track facilities on August 20. He suffered a possible cardiac event and was treated for a heat-related illness. Mayich is currently in a coma, and his family has asked for privacy and prayers while he undergoes medical treatment.

The incident occurred during a workout session in extreme heat, with temperatures reaching 114 degrees in the area. Arizona State University is investigating the circumstances surrounding the workout, including whether it was sanctioned by the team. The university has offered support to Mayich and his family during this difficult time.

Mayich's hockey community, including the Ontario Hockey League and the St. Louis Blues, has rallied around him, offering thoughts, prayers, and support. A virtual prayer service was held for Mayich, and an Instagram account has been created to share updates and show support, with a yellow ribbon campaign symbolizing hope for his recovery.

I don't see Meyer Shapiro listed on the 2026-27 roster.  What's up?

Doug, Brock - not bad company!  But how would a 20-something know?

Yup, Doug and Dave Ferguson, Mark and Matt McRae, Chris and Cam Abbott, Joe and Mike Devin, and Ben and Zach Tupker.

Patsy's Pizzeria, the famous Manhattan-based pizza chain founded in 1933, is opening its first Upstate New York location in Ithaca on Thursday, Aug. 27.  The chain, which has locations throughout New York City, Rockland and Westchester counties, is partnering with Promise Hospitality Group at the Ithaca Downtown Marriott to bring its New York City-style pizza to the Finger Lakes.

Several years ago, when visiting my sister in Manhattan, we had dinner at the original location in East Harlem.  As I recall, the food was excellent.

The article notes that this will be Patsy's first restaurant in upstate NY.  Not true — as someone who grew up on Long Island, any place north of The Bronx is upstate!

Touchdown?

President Trump on Monday signed orders that would impose a 50 percent tariff on a wide range of Canadian goods, claiming that Canada had discriminated against the United States in key markets.

U.S. officials said the tariffs would be imposed on products ranging from wine to hockey sticks to cement and would go into effect in 30 days. The officials said the tariffs were punishment for Canadian discrimination in three industries: motor vehicles, dairy and alcohol.

Not good news for Cornell non-sports.

Architecture is a five-year program with many international students.  I suppose they can file for an extension upon admission.  Still a bullshit rule.

Quote from: George64 on May 01, 2026, 01:45:21 PMInteresting article in today's NY Times about Alex Bores'13, New York congressional candidate at the center of a proxy war over A.I. regulation.

There's a name I haven't heard in a while. Very prominent guy when I was on campus and was the student assembly president at one point IIRC

Unfortunately, in New York's 12th Congressional District, Micah Lasher won the nomination with about 40,106 votes (39%), defeating Alex Bores, who received about 35,000 votes (35%). The other six candidates trailed well behind.

Here's a summary from the NY Times.  Surely, now that it's spring, they could have found a better picture to use.
