Toews, Huet lead Blackhawks to sixth straight victory
2009-11-22 08:50:00 Are the Hawks this good? Are the Oilers this bad? The answer to both is yes. The Chicago Blackhawks made easy work of the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night as they cruised to a 5-2 victory behind a solid outing from goaltender Cristobal Huet and two goals from Jonathan Toews. The Hawks have won the first two games of the West Coast trip and have extended their victory streak to six. After entering the third period trailing 4-1, Dustin Penner scored on the powerplay to bring the Oilers to within two. Did we have a game on our hands? No. This contest was decided as soon as they dropped the puck to open the game. The Blackhawks have too...
Cutler leads 49ers to victory with 5 INT's
2009-11-13 06:38:00 Jay Cutler led the San Francisco 49ers to victory on Thursday night. No, there were no strange trades made today, Cutler is still a member of the Bears (unfortunately), but you sure couldn't tell that by the number of balls he threw to the 49ers. Jay Cutler threw FIVE interceptions on Thursday night as the Bears fell to the 49ers 10-6. It was a pitiful offensive performance for a quarterback who still managed to throw for over 300 yards, but his night will be CLEARLY judged by the picks. I posted links to all of 5 of them here. Yes, all 5. People can make excuses for Cutler about receivers falling down, bad snaps, lack of protection, etc. but this...
Victory for Chicago family facing eviction!
2009-11-09 21:13:00 If you're new to One Story Up, you might not be familiar with the Bledsoe family. Back in July, we met the family - three children who were living with their grandmother in Rogers Park when she suddenly died. Their aunt - Erica Bledsoe - became their guardian, but the company that owned their Section 8 apartment wanted to evict the family, which would have left them homeless. After months of organizing and community support, HUD stepped in and got the company to give the family a lease. The story is pretty moving and poignant - you can listen to Erica Bledsoe tell her story on Vocalo with me last week. We're getting together to celebrate this important victory, next...
Young Loyola earns impressive exhibition victory
2009-11-03 05:01:00 Ben Averkamp led the Ramblers with 21 points.It was apparent just from one night that these are no longer your 2008-09 Loyola Ramblers. The 2009-10 version debuted against Robert Morris on Monday night with a 92-62 victory at the Gentile Center.Loyola took a six-point halftime advantage and put the game away with an 18-0 run to start the second half. Robert Morris didn't score in the second half until 13:40 remained.Particularly impressive was freshman forward Ben Averkamp. He started the game at forward and proceeded to display a solid face-up offensive game and a low-post game that improved as the game moved forward. While he certainly has some things to work on at the defensive end, overall he looked good...
Bears' Victory Defines Bland
2009-11-02 08:06:00 It is common knowledge that I love the Bears. In fact, I came roaring out of the womb screaming "Bronko Nagurski" and "Red Grange." So, naturally I'm reasonably giddy that our psychologically vulnerable football team regained a minor chunk of self esteem on Sunday by beating a hapless group of Cleveland Browns 30-6. Of course, I'm also thrilled that the Bears covered. As Vince Lombardi or Jimmy the Greek once said, "That's why they play the game."...
Box office blog: Let the 'Wild Things' victory party start
2009-10-19 03:46:00 A cause for a wild rumpus: The extraordinary "Where the Wild Things Are" topped the weekend box office with $32.5 million. That's not a huge tally but a good start for a movie that should, hopefully have a good word of mouth, and continue to build an audience until its regarded as the classic that it is.What definitely is not a classic--or even a less-than-terrible movie--is "Law Abiding Citizen," which took second place with $21.2 million. For anyone who didn't think the movie was a gratuitously violent and totally nonsensical waste of time, well, I disagree. At No. 3 was the highly buzzed-about "Paranormal Activity," which added another $20.2 million to its total (now more than $33 million), which is...
How Likely Is a Purdue Upset Victory Over The Buckeyes?
2009-10-17 03:37:00 There's no question a Purdue victory over Ohio State Saturday afternoon in Ross-Ade Stadium would be a monumental upset. The Boilermakers are struggling through a five-game losing streak, consistently failing to make critical plays, and turning the ball over about as often as the words "balloon boy" have been uttered in the last 48 hours. The Buckeyes, on the other hand, are once again ranked in the nation's Top Ten, hardly ever lose conference road games, and have won at least a share of the Big Ten championship in four straight seasons. OSU is also in good shape for their fifth consecutive title, as they enter Saturday's game with a 5-1 record and four-game winning streak....
Havlat leads Wild to victory over Blackhawks
2009-09-21 03:58:00 Martin Havlat decided to let his skills do the talking instead of his Twitter account. The ex-Hawk sent a clear message to his old club Sunday night scoring twice in the Minnesota Wild's 3-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. Havlat wasted little time scoring the game winner at 1:26 of the 1st period. The two teams will meet four times in the regular season. Havlat certainly has those dates circled on his calendar. Out the Window: So much for the plan to have Antii Niemi and Corey Crawford share the goaltending duties Sunday night. Pat Foley's source must still be Dale Tallon. Niemi played the entire game against the Wild making 14 saves on 17 shots. The defensive ice time...

2009-07-02 21:38:00 Yes, they did it! The Red Stars came back from behind and defeated Washington 2-1. Thank goodness for a victory at home to help end a nine match winless streak. Here are some other facts from last night's match at Toyota Park:The Red Stars came out strong at the beginning of the match with shot after shot at the Freedom's goal. However, they were unsuccessful in finding the back of the net. How unlucky could one team be?In the 34th minute, Abby Wambach scored for Washington with an assist from Lisa De Vanna. At that moment, the hearts of all the Red Stars fans in attendance sank. I know mine did. Would they add a tenth game to their winless...

2009-06-27 07:42:00 The Cubs and Sox battled each other for the 69th time in history Friday afternoon at U.S. Cellular Field. With the all-time series even at 34 wins a piece, the Cubs grabbed bragging rights beating the Sox 5-4. @coatney posted this TwitPic from the game with the caption "What did I do to deserve this? 9th row sox cubs game all you can drink and eat with @chazelbert @lannyz @schemblogger" The Sox took an early 1-0 lead with a home run from Jermaine Dye in the 1st inning, but it was the only lead they would see as Jake Fox gave the Cubs a 2-1 lead in the 4th with a blast to left field.

2009-06-15 00:33:00 (Photo Credit: NASCAR.com via Yahoo Sports inside Gallery)In the Irish Hills of Michigan lies the 2-mile D-Shape oval known as the Michigan International Speedway. Michigan Speedway is known for a few good races here and there, but mainly the racing on the track is long (green flag runs) and stretched out, but ends up becoming a nail bitter of a finish thanks to what turns into a fuel economy races.The Michigan Speedway also sits in what was in some cases known as the “Big 3” automakers backyard, however earlier this weekend as one of the “Big 3” Chrysler exited bankruptcy and was taken over by Fiat, Chevrolet (who is in bankruptcy now) announced that they are making “NASCAR-wide” cuts. The NASCAR cuts include the Nationwide Series and the Truck Series teams will loss factory support and that will not be it, it is unknown if Chevrolet will cut some support in the Cup Series, but to this NASCAR fan, I wouldn’t be surprised if a few Chevy teams were cut, but that’s my ...

It was a moral victory... no, it wasn't even that. (Septathlon 2)
2009-04-17 15:35:00 The Septathlon: EVENT 1:You know you're in trouble, in a basketball game, when your opponent isn't even winded but your eyes are stinging with sweat, you're breathing heavily, you're a little dizzy, and you're somewhat concerned that you can feel your pulse in your brain and that just might be the first sign of a stroke.You know you're in trouble if that happens. You know that you're sunk if that happens... in the first minute of the game.That's where I was at, exactly one minute into the opening round of The Septathlon, the Basketball Round.

Ten Weight Loss Tips To Ensure Victory In The New Year's "Battle Of The Bul
2008-12-24 08:07:00 Ten Weight Loss Tips To Ensure Victory In The New Year's "Battle Of The Bulge" was written by David Petersen from bossfitness.comWith millions of people making New Years resolutions to participate in the "Battle of the Bulge" here?s some useful ammo to help you adhere to your weight loss plan, keep you motivated and ensure victory:1. EnlistJust as new enlistee signs a contract that commits him/her to their military task and duty, similarly, if your goal is to lose weight, you too should sign a contract with yourself, your trainer, a friend or a loved one. Essentially a contract cannot be broken and there is usually a penalty to do so. A contract places the commitment to paper and the responsibility on you, which will increase your resolve and motivation to the task of losing weight. If you need to, assign a reward for the satisfactory fulfillment of the contract rather than a penalty. For example, if you attain your target weight, write in the contract that you will take a spa vaca...

The Path to Victory: Grassroots Republicanism
2008-12-13 16:44:00 Let’s start, with a premise: Every Republican president candidate since 1964 has had their level of success or failure, respectively, tied directly to the degree of voter perception that they have or have not turned their back on conservatism. Consider the history of the thing… and it all flows one way: Nixon billed himself a conservative, and successfully, even though in most respects he was a California Moderate, and came down more or less where John McCain was in the most recent election; to the left of George W Bush. Yet, Nixon had an electoral landslide in both elections. (Admittedly, the Democrats he ran against were a laughable lot, which didn’t hurt him.) Bush 41 figured if he bent over forward enough, the left would like him.  Remember he was doing what the Democrats asked him to do, re; the ’no new taxes’ pledge? How did they respond? By beating him over the head with the fact that he did what they asked. The voters did the same, seeing clea...

Savoring the Undertones and Lingering Subtleties of Obama’s Victory Speec
2008-11-09 01:30:00 [from http://theboard.blogs.nytimes.c-om/2008/11/07/savoring-the-unde-rtones-and-lingering-subtleties--of-obamas-victory-speech/] Like many great orations, Barack Obama’s victory speech on Tuesday night was deceptively simple. As powerful as it was to hear, the hidden complexities and import of the president-elect’s words surface only after we re-read the text and think back on the moment.A confirmed fan of Abraham Lincoln, Mr. Obama drew on another flawless speech, the Gettysburg Address (pdf) (“a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from the earth”), while also celebrating both the inherited majesty of the Democratic process and his own achievement — the broad coalition that elected him. He echoed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ( “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice’’) when he praised the electorate for rejecting the rhetoric of fear and for “ put[ting] their hands on the arc of history and bend[ing]...

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference. It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, t...
