'Tis the Season for Pool Crashing
By David Moye - AOL News(Aug. 18) -- Summertime and the living is easy. But it is easier for those who have all the time in the world to laze by a hotel pool sipping a "foofy" cocktail while enjoying the club sandwich inevitably on the menu. Presumably, you're supposed to pay for the privilege of sunning yourself by the poolside by being a hotel guest, but that's not the code of the "pool hopper," a unique breed of human who prides himself or herself on living the life of a budget-busting tourist without staying at the hotel. Whether you call it "pool hopping," or "pool crashing," the act of sneaking into the pool ...
Text Messages: For Haiti, For Food Stamps, For Your Lunch
By Kase Wickman - Politics DailyLast week, things were quiet at the Hot Chocolate for Haiti table. The fundraising effort was set up near the entrance of Boston University's George Sherman Union, a hub for quelling caffeine addictions and between-class munchies. Plenty of students rushed by, but they didn't take the bait to make a donation for Haiti in exchange for the goods. Two girls sat behind the table, standing guard over a shoebox with a few crumpled bills thrown in. Both were playing on their phones. It would be no surprise if these girls, like millions of others, had opted to donate to the Haiti relief effort via ...
Life Without Teddy: Massachusetts Students Face Their First Republican Senator
By Kase Wickman - Politics DailyBOSTON -- The last time a Republican was elected to fill a Massachusetts seat in the U.S. Senate, Barack Obama was still Barry. It was 1972 when Ed Brooke was re-elected, and the future 44th president of the United States was just 11 years old. Ted Kennedy, of course, had already been a senator for a decade when Brooke was elected. Kennedy's nearly five-decade reign makes it easy to believe that there has never been life without the so-called Lion of the Senate representing Massachusetts. The months since Kennedy's August death excepted, for a staggering 59.8 percent of Massachusettians -- ...

Terriers Claim Unlikeliest Title
By Ray Holloman - AOL NewsWASHINGTON -- Colby Cohen saw it before anyone in the building. The puck launched off Kevin Roeder's stick and fluttered toward the net, end over end like a coin lazily flipped up into the air. It was a 50-50 shot and it was about to come up a loser for the RedHawks. It tucked softly beneath the crossbar just inside the right post, ending a raucous overtime with a silent thud before a roar right out of a Logan runway crushed everything on the ice. Cohen threw his hands before it hit the twine, his stick falling to the ice. Miami netminder Cody Reichard never saw the puck, but he saw a ...

By Eric McErlain - AOL NewsFanHouse brings you full coverage of the 2009 NCAA Men's Frozen Four in Washington, D.C.WASHINGTON -- Chances are, you've never heard of Kevin Roeder, a defenseman for Miami University. But whether or not you've heard his name before tonight, I'm pretty much certain he's the most miserable hockey player in the world right now.After all, what can you possibly say to a player who did exactly what he was supposed to do, yet who at this moment probably thinks that his actions cost his team a national title?We've seen it all the time in sports.

How My First Time at the Frozen Four Sold Me on College Hockey
By Eric McErlain - AOL NewsFanHouse brings you full coverage of the 2009 NCAA Men's Frozen Four in Washington, D.C.WASHINGTON -- For a couple of years now, a lot of my friends in blogging circles have been giving me the hard sell when it comes to college hockey. While I've never needed to be sold on the game at any level, I have to admit that my connection to the college game isn't as visceral as it is to the NHL. For me, the Stanley Cup was all that really mattered, and that's been the case ever since I pulled on my first pair of hockey skates at the age of seven.But over time, opinions and perspective change. The ...
