Now in his fourth year as president of Western New England University in Western Massachusetts, Dr. Robert E. Johnson brings to the role unusually wide-ranging leadership experience and an infectious entrepreneurial spirit and mindset. During our conversation, President Johnson shares his vision for 'A New Traditional University,' as well as his thoughts about what colleges need to do to remain relevant and financially viable in the years ahead. He is particularly passionate about the value of an agile mindset. According to Johnson, "While the traditional organizational structure starts with the 'how are we going to do this' and then backs into the 'what', the agile organization starts with the 'what;' and when one starts with the 'what' the possibilities are only limited by our imaginations," says Johnson. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chelip/message

Matt Noonan, who is the host and producer of the Noontime Sports Podcast, welcomes not one, but three guests to this week's show. Noonan begins the show chatting with Logan Tomlinson, who is a wide receiver for Wesleyan University (2:30). Tomlinson and the Cardinals outlasted Tufts University last Saturday to secure a hard-fought win. And with their victory over the Jumbos, Wesleyan remains in the mix for a New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) crown. Following Tomlinson, Noonan welcomes Joey Mauriello and Elian Telford of Salve Regina University (10:16). Mauriello recently became the Seahawks' all-time rushing leader last week -- he has now rushed for 3,962 yards on 632 carries and 40 touchdowns. Salve Regina scored an important conference win last Saturday against Western New England.

NCAA Tournament Day 1, Princeton, Penn, Yale Win, Virginia Prevents Ivy Sweep (LaxFactor Podcast #208) The first day of the NCAA Lacrosse Tournament kicked off on Saturday with four games being played through the day and I sat down and watched every minute of every game. Princeton took the first contest of the day over Boston University. Erik Peters stopped 15 of the 20 shots he faced on the day, Chris Brown put up 5 assists and Princeton rolled to victory. Richmond scared the hell out of Penn forcing Penn to tie the game late to force overtime. Penn would win the first possession of OT and score the game winner, a beautifully drawn up play executed to perfection, Ben Smith scores said game winner, and the Ivies are now 2-0 on the day. St. Joe's put up a great showing against Yale. Levi Anderson a guy I've slept on all season put up 3 goals in the loss and St. Joe's had a 9-6 lead at one point in this game before Yale took the wheel and squeaked out a 2 goal victory. Matt Brandau and Leo Johnson each put up 4 goals and 2 helpers while Chris Lyons went 3 & 3 in the Yale win. The last game of the day, Virginia at Brown gave the Ivy League a chance to sweep the day and go 4-0. But Virginia and Connor Shellenberger had other plans. Shelly went for 4 goals and 4 assists on the day, Cormier chipped in 5 goals, and UVA used a second half surge to drop Bruno 17-10. I'll also briefly touch on some Division III scores towards the end of this show. RIT spanked Albion 22-6. Union continued their great run dropping John Carroll 14-7. Salisbury got past Stockton by 9 goals, Tufts murdered Norwich 33-10, St. Lawrence just got past Cortland 15-14, Gettysburg over Roanoke 14-8, Lynchburg got beat by Western New England, Wesleyan took down RPI, York over Denison and so on.

Compared to their white counterparts, people of color living in Western New England are more likely to live in poorer health, and it's more likely for Black residents to die younger. As we mark Black History Month, And Another Thing looks at the history of health inequity and highlights efforts in this region to address it.

Some western New England rabbis describe their constant concern about the risk of anti-Semitic attacks on their congregations, such as the weekend hostage taking in Fort Worth, Texas.

To close out the week, we will be covering a new article that was published by Ruppel and colleagues. This article is out of Western New England and seems to be out of Dr. Hanley's lab. This article reports on the Balance program, a preventative behavior analytic curriculum for children with emerging problematic behavior. Loosely based on the Preschool Life Skills Program, Balance focuses more on child and adult interactions and the utilization of synthesized contingencies. These authors reported on the preliminary results of the Balance program and identified areas for future research and modification. Overall, this article was a great demonstration of a potential preventative way of programming and general early intervention skills.  Citation + DOI Ruppel, K. W., Hanley, G. P., Landa, R.

We cap the week with some hockey talk -- today, Matt Noonan welcomes Katie Zimmerman to the show to discuss her first official season coaching the Western New England University women's ice hockey program. Zimmerman was named the program's first-ever head coach prior to the 2019-20 school -- unfortunately, Covid-19 did not allow the team to compete this past school year, so as she told Noonan, it was certainly "worth the wait" for their first game earlier this school year against Anna Maria College. Noonan and Zimmerman discuss the first official season to building a culture and branding the program through Instagram.

Rick Rees, Michael Hoberman, Carrie and Michael Kline created this radio piece in 1993 for WFCR, Public Radio of Western New England. Michael Kline recorded the interviews and musical sessions that make up this production while serving as folklorist for the Pioneer Valley Folklore Society. With funding the Mass Foundation for the Humanities, we were required to write and read a somewhat analytical-sounding narration that follows an otherwise seamless flow of voices and music, as newer and older groups of immigrants discuss and play examples of a living, changing music, carried from other lands, preserved and evolved in the Connecticut River Valley.

We're excited to relaunch our "Mondays with Matt" weekly podcast -- we did these prior the pandemic (and yes, at certain times last fall and this past winter) -- but we're excited to allow Matt "Noontime" Noonan share some thoughts on the previous week's college football games in New England, including Western New England rolling past Salve Regina, Trinity College blanking Middlebury College, Harvard University winning its third-straight, and yes, Bentley University and New Haven scoring important Northeast-10 Conference victories.

Welcome to Episode 72 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. This is our sixth of eight regional preview pods -- this one covers the New England region and its seven conferences. Topics include: CCC (at 1:40) Salve Regina (at 2:00) is the class of this conference and boasts two of the best strikeout pitchers in the region atop their rotation Teams (at 4:50) like Endicott, Roger Williams, Western New England, and Nichols will need to have a lot go right to compete with the Seahawks GNAC (at 7:10) The last 12 titles have gone to either St. Joseph's (Maine) or Suffolk...maybe this is the year a team like Johnson & Wales could break the streak? LEC (at 10:20) Southern Maine might be returning the most loaded #Year5 squad in the entire country and make have opened up an unusually large gap on their conference competition UMass-Boston has been a perennial regional team but with a late start and a lot of new faces in the lineup, there's more questions than normal entering their season. We still love the Beacons, though. Rhode Island has emerged as a strong sleeper but lost some key pieces from their pitching staff UMass-Dartmouth, Eastern Connecticut, and Castleton will probably hang around this conversation as well MASCAC (at 19:15) Westfield State will probably continue to run the show but their legendary 1-2 punch is gone so maybe there's room for a team like Fitchburg State, Worcester State, or Salem State to contend NECC (at 21:28) Mitchell has been putting up big win totals vs. bad competition in recent years but now are starting to look more like a legitimately fearsome regional contender New England College had one hell of a run in the 2019 postseason but now their coach and some of their best players departed for conference rival Eastern Nazarene, ooooo spicy spicy!!! NESCAC (at 28:20) It seems that only four teams will be participating in this conference in this pandemic season, with Tufts and Trinity (CT) likely the ones fighting for the title NEWMAC (at 34:30) Babson is losing some key contributors and won't have the traditionally insane SOS to boost their resume. Beavers are always good, though.  Wheaton (Mass.) is now more than just a Really Good Fundamental Baseball Team -- they've got super high-end talent that makes them a legitimate World Series contender MIT isn't playing, which is a bummer UAA Brandeis (at 40:15) are gonna have a tough time scheduling with all the conference-only restrictions but their roster actually looks pretty solid! We concluded (at 41:30) with our player and pitcher of the year picks for the region, and our teams to beat. Then we say goodbye. Thanks for listening!

Arguably the greatest prep school lacrosse coach of all time, Coach Chip Davis has been the Head Coach of Boy's Varsity Lacrosse at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts for 30 years, where he has won 13 Western New England championships. Former Athletic Director and current Dean of Admission at the Academy, Coach Davis uses his skill set to perform various roles at a high level, including husband and father. As Mark's lacrosse coach and economics teacher in 2012, Coach Davis developed him as a two-way midfielder and influenced him so greatly in the classroom that Mark majored in Economics at Yale. Listeners can expect to hear how awareness, insatiable curiosity and grit separate good from great.

One of my former college coaches and I spoke about all things baseball and life. Coach Raiola has one of the most impressive baseball minds I've been around, and his ability to find new information and relay it to his players in an effortless manner was always something I admired. He also manages the Valley Blue Sox, of the NECBL in the summer. "Johnny", as many know him as, played a huge role in putting Western New England baseball back on the map. He is now the head baseball coach at Elms College, and will no doubt find success and greatly improve that program.

LEC Southern Maine (at 9:15) lost a ton of All-Region talent and still is star-studded as ever; such is life as the Huskies UMass-Boston (at 15:00) has a whole lot of offense to replace but a deep pitching staff could still take them far Rhode Island (at 20:05) has emerged as a legit sleeper in this powerhouse conference UMass-Dartmouth (at 22:30) has some studs and Eastern Connecticut will certainly hang around MASCAC Westfield State (at 23:10) will probably continue to run the show but there is some room for a team like Fitchburg State, Worcester State, or Salem State to contend NECC Mitchell (at 25:25) returns most of their best players and are primed to regain control of this conference New England College (at 28:25) will need to replace a huge chunk of the squad that went on the amazing run to the super regional in 2019  NESCAC Tufts (at 32:30) has enough to defend their title, but a weak schedule means they'll have to win it again to get in Trinity (Conn.) (at 34:05) made us believers last year and might have one of the best players in the country Middlebury (at 37:30) and Williams should be solid NEWMAC Babson (at 39:10) is losing some key contributors but should remain an excellent team playing an impressively insane schedule Wheaton (Mass.) (at 42:45) continues to be a Damn Good Baseball Team™ and has some exciting young talent on both sides of the ball MIT (at 47:10) cannot be slept on as the defending champs, and they have similarly elite talent to matchup with their NEWMAC rivals We concluded (at 50:30) with a few other notable player shout outs, our player and pitcher of the year picks for the region, and our teams to beat. Then we say goodbye. Thanks for listening!

Things are heating up in Division III as the first set of Regional Rankings are due out next week. Sunday night on Hoopsville, we chat with a few teams not only trying to stay atop their conference races, but also hoping they are either in or near the top of the Regional Rankings. We also take a look at the women's Top 25 poll. What changes might we see this week with not only one of the bigger in-season upsets in recent history, but also a number of other interesting results from the week before. And yes, we will chat about the men's Top 25 as well. Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Sunday's show primarily covers the Atlantic, Central, South, and Northeast Regions. All men's coaches appear in the NABC Coach's Corner. And all guests are featured on the BlueFrame Technology Hoopsville Hotline. Guests Schedule: - Nicole Chaszar, Western New England women's coach - Terry Butterfield, UT-Dallas men's coach - Gary Grzesk, St. Norbert men's coach - Gordon Mann, Top 25 Double-Take

  I think I spend more time watching DIY videos on YouTube these days than I do watching anything else on the platform. Why? My home renovation, which has entered its fourth month, is nearly complete. The basement was half finished, but now, we’ll have a legit, legal guest bedroom and I’ll have a dedicated studio and office space – tucked away from everyone. In 10 years, when I’ll have two teenage girls in the house, I’m going to probably need that hideaway – or speakeasy – if you will. So it’s time to learn how to build desks, build bars and accent walls. I’m Jason Bryant, and I’m also building quite the repository of podcasts, this is just one of them, it’s Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the day’s scores and more from around the world of wrestling. Dual Meets: In the second head-to-head dual between teams ranked in the Top 25 this season, No. 17 North Carolina edged No. 19 Michigan by a coincidentally similar 19-17 score. Each team won five matches, but the big difference were three additional bonus points earned at 174 pounds where Clay Lautt cradled up Reece Hughes and got the fall in the first period. North Carolina’s Austin Headlee made his move up two weight classes to 157 pounds a successful one, defeating highly touted redshirt freshman Will Lewan 5-2. Michigan’s Mason Parris had a chance to give the Wolverines the win, needing a fall at heavyweight, but managed a 4-0 win over Andrew Gunning. At a sold out Saegertown High School in Northwest Pennsylvania, No. 7 Wisconsin improved to 5-0 win a 28-15 win over the host Fighting Scots of Edinboro. The Badgers picked up falls from Seth Gross at 133 pounds, Tristan Moran at 141 and Evan Wick at 165 pounds. It was a homecoming, albeit a short trip, for Edinboro’s Cody Mulligan, a Saegertown native, who fell to Tyler Dow 5-2 at 184 pounds. In Division III, Western New England jumped out to a 23-4 lead over Norwich and ended up holding off a late rally to pick up a 26-19 win. While Norwich lost, give their Instagram a follow @cadetwrestling. It’s totally worth it if they post stuff like they did tonight from their duals. Quality stuff. Bluefield, the only NAIA school in Virginia, picked up a home win over Truett McConnell 28-19. Joseph Dudley and Creed Lumpp picked up falls for the Rams at 157 and 165 to help lift Jason Waelti’s squad to the win. The Muskegon Duals are going on in Michigan and the club team from Grand Valley State picked up wins against Trine and Olivet, while Niagara Community College picked off the first-year NAIA program at Rochester (Mich.) and host Muskegon. Late Thursday: Division II San Francisco State, led by head coach and past three-time Northwestern All-American Jason Welch, spoiled Vanguard’s first home dual in 39 years as the Gators topped the Lions 39-11. Vanguard is coached by California native and former UNI Panther Caleb Flores. In Ashland, Oregon, No. 2 Menlo topped Southern Oregon 32-12 as the pair of women’s teams in the NAIA’s Cascade Conference did battle. Had one correction to make, Cerritos beat Palomar last night, not Rio Hondo. Santa Ana had the 29-18 win over Rio Hondo out in California. I also said “Fresno State” instead of Fresno City. Meh, it was after midnight. PROMO CODE WARNING I’ve recently posted on Twitter about the number of wrestling podcasts currently out in the wild.

Notables on the Docket for November 9: Journeymen Northeast Duals are taking place at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, N.Y. Division I teams in action there are Arizona State, LIU, Purdue, Sacred Heart, Buffalo, Virginia and Utah Valley. There’s also a solid mix of non-Division I schools including Division II powerhouses St. Cloud State and Pitt-Johnstown. Guess what, they aren’t avoiding each other either. In the past, power teams come to this tournament and don’t wrestle one another. Come on. Why you going to go all the way across the country and be a part of an event that showcases wrestling and NOT wrestle? Division II American International is also there along with Division III Alfred State, Castleton, Ithaca, Johnson & Wales and TCNJ. There’s also a youth club division with some of the top clubs in the Northeast. North Dakota State hosts the Bison Open, Appalachian State hosts the Mountaineer Open, the Ohio Intercollegiate Open is also floating around on Saturday, as are opens at Maryville, Oklahoma City, Millikin, UW-Oshkosh, UNC Pembroke, and Dakota Wesleyan. Invitationals are being hosted by King’s College (Pa.), Gettysburg, UW-Platteville, Mount Union, Ursinus, and Washington & Jefferson. On the women’s side, Waldorf hosts its open as well. There’s also a ton of duals – check Trackwrestling, WrestleStat, D3Wrestle and Transition Wrestling for all the relevant scores from your particular division of choice. FROM THE DWN: Travis Johnson gives a notebook-style look at the week in Division I with Penn State media day, Iowa injury updates and some things from last week. That’s on Trackwrestling.com. In India, wrestling journalist Vinay Siwach explains how a decades long land dispute between opposing groups could impact a large state wrestling championship, which could impact athletes from the region and their opportunity to compete at the Indian senior nationals. Check it out on Scroll.in. Five Point Move again with the Greco-Roman news as Spenser Mango returns with his latest blog from the Army’s World Class Athlete Program called Fort Greco. There’s a reason Five Point Move was the National Wrestling Media Association’s website of the year in 2017-18. The RUDIS Podcast with Matt Dernlan and Ben Askren recap the Princeton Open and they also discuss the impact of true freshmen on college wrestling. Minnesota Public Radio previews the inaugural season of Augsburg University’s women’s wrestling team. There’s some hammers in that wrestling room. There’s no other women’s wrestling programs in Minnesota. That also doesn’t stop Augsburg from launching a program. That’s in stark contrast to what the administration is doing 45 minutes south in Northfield at St. Olaf College. They still haven’t responded to interview requests. A longtime wrestling coach in New Jersey, Russ Riegel, passed away at age 89. Riegel coached Hunderton Central to 533 wins in his 35 years as the school’s head coach. Read about it at NJ.com. From The Washington Post, Liz Clarke profiles Mya Kretzler, a Kansas wrestler who spent four years working to get girls wrestling sanctioned in Kansas. Continuing with the women’s and girls wrestling news, Ferrum’s Talum Smith was honored by Wrestle Like A Girl last week with the Afsoon Roshanzamir Johnston Courage Award. She’s got a great story, as the Franklin News-Post outlines. Ferrum SID Gary Holden gets called into duty with this feature. Bloody Elbow’s Ed Gallo goes into a wrestling breakdown with the 2019 World Championships. He starts with Gadzhimurad Rashidov of the Russian Federation. Bryce Villa of The Open Mat gives us a look into five things to watch in Division II wrestling this weekend. Bryce has been putting in the time to cover D2 wrestling for TOM. Big props. By the way, there’s a ton of news out there on Jim Jordan, the Republican congressman from Ohio and past NCAA wrestling champion involving the Richard Strauss case. A handful of links will be included in the newsletter, but it’s not a topic I care to discuss on the show. You want wall to wall political coverage of this topic, I’d implore you to look elsewhere. On the Network Chad Dennis of The MatBoss Podcast returns with Episode 40 featuring NCAA champion, World Teamer and Pittsburgh head wrestling coach Keith Gavin. The PA Power Podcast with hosts Jeff Upson and Eric Knopsnyder return with Episode 55 as the pair recaps the PA Power preseason tournament, The Surge!

Originating from western Massachusetts, Mike found his way over to Holliston because of family and work after an incredible upbringing in Chicopee!When he graduated high school, he initially started out commuting to Western New England on a path towards a career in pharmacy because he saw the $$$. He eventually discovered that pharmacy was definitely not his calling. He took a turn and decided to pursue a career in computer science. After his freshman year, he transferred to UMass Amherst where he was able to enjoy the full college experience. Once Mike finished college, he continued with his college summer job at circuit city working as a car audio installation specialist. Eventually, MathWorks reached out to him about a job, and then he proudly illustrates how he has moved up within the company over the past 13 years.Later on we talk about how he met his wife, Kyla, through his cousin who was close friends with Kyla in high school and through college. Kyla expressed interest in Mike during their high school years, but unfortunately Mike was taken at the time and had to respectfully decline. Ultimately, the timing worked out where they were able to finally get together over a spring break during college. Everything happens for a reason!Currently Mike lives with his wife (and Firewall member) Kyla, his two daughters Lily and Lexi, 1 dog - Daisy the beagle, and 4 chickens, which he explains WHY he originally got the chickens. As you'll find out at the end of the interview, in the maybe not so distant future, Mike's number of pets could exponentially increase - and trust me, you'll never guess as to why... (Hint: buzz buzz)As a kid, Mike always played soccer. However as an adult, he fell in love with the sport of hockey! Mike parallels his hockey league with CrossFit meaning people of all different skill levels are playing with each other side by side with endless amounts of support.Be sure to listen the whole way through as Mike absolutely crushes our questions for him at the end!Thank you so much for coming on the show Mike! We greatly appreciated your transparency, honesty, and enthusiasm. Although there was a ton of his life story we didn't even graze over, we hope many were able to get a good idea of Mike's past, present and future.

This is a segment of episode #185 of Last Born In The Wilderness “The Gods Have Fled: The Home As A Site Of Defiance Against Modernity w/ Ramon Elani.” Listen to the full episode: http://bit.ly/LBWelani Read ‘Land, Home, and the Gods’ by Ramon Elani at Gods & Radicals: http://bit.ly/LandHomeGods Often, when I try to get at the vast moral dilemma we are forced to address in the face of the global climate crisis, the extinction of human and non-human life, and the hollowing of community and connection to the land implicit in the “progress” narrative of industrial civilization — the notion of addressing these converging crises on a collective level seemed apparent and obvious. While that may be true, another truth emerges from the prose of Ramon Elani — heathen writer and poet. In this segment of my interview with Ramon, I ask him to expound on the themes he’s presented in the essay ‘Land, Home, and the Gods.’ Ramon’s prose is intoxicating, blunt, poetic, beautiful, heartbreaking, and clarifying. Ramon doesn’t shy away from obvious truths implicit in modernity and the reality it has forged in its attempt to subject the Earth and its living systems to the logic of “progress” and endless growth. In Ramon’s work, the home and our relationship with the land becomes the center of our resistance to the life destroying forces that are despoiling the planet. Modernity is reckoned with in these terms, as Ramon has thoroughly and lucidly explored in his writing, which I have delightfully read and incorporated into my own worldview. “Modernity and industrialism, we believe, frees us from work but in truth, all it does is deprive our work of any meaning. There has never been a more overworked human being than the industrialized one. Work becomes labor, crushing the body and soul. The idea of the home retreats into the world of dreams, while we are bled dry to pay for the meanest and most squalid tenements. Let the home and the idea of the home become a pillar of strength. Let the home become a site of defiance, a bold denial of industrial society. Let the home be made into a bulwark against the modern world.” Ramon Elani is an acausal, anti-modern, heathen poet and author. He holds a PhD in literature and philosophy. He lives with his family among mountains and rivers in Western New England. He follows the way of wyrd.

[Intro: 13:30] In this episode, I speak with heathen writer and poet Ramon Elani. In exploring his unique prospective on how to address the converging social, spiritual, and ecological crises on this planet, we examine three essays published for Gods & Radicals, which include ‘Land, Home, and the Gods,’ ‘World’s End,’ and ‘Our Rage Against The Modern World’ — the last of which was co-written with Gods & Radicals co-founder Rhyd Wildermuth. “Let the home and the idea of the home become a pillar of strength. Let the home become a site of defiance, a bold denial of industrial society. Let the home be made into a bulwark against the modern world.”* Often, when I try to get at the vast moral dilemma we are forced to address in the face of the global climate crisis, the extinction of human and non-human life, and the hollowing of community and connection to the land implicit in the “progress” narrative of industrial civilization — the notion of addressing these converging crises on a collective level seemed apparent and obvious. While that may be true, another truth emerges from the prose of Ramon. In this interview, I ask Ramon to expound on the themes he’s presented in three essays on the subject of modernity, and that to “reestablish humanity’s relationship with the gods is also to reconnect with the land, for the land is the gods. The present crisis, which devastates humanity and the biosphere, is defined in both material and spiritual terms.”** Ramon’s prose is intoxicating, blunt, poetic, beautiful, heartbreaking, and clarifying. Ramon doesn’t shy away from obvious truths implicit in modernity and the reality it has forged in its attempt to subject the Earth and its living systems to the logic of “progress” and endless growth. In Ramon’s work, the home and our relationship with the land becomes the center of our resistance to the life destroying forces that are despoiling the planet. Modernity is reckoned with in these terms, as Ramon has thoroughly and lucidly explored in his writing, which I have delightfully read and incorporated into my own worldview. “For hundreds of years, humanity has expanded its domain over the earth, at the enormous cost of non human life and human spiritual and physical well being. Every moment that this world continues to exist means suffering and extinction for non human life and soulless misery for humanity. We cannot stop what’s coming and it best that we do not try, for only in the death of this world is there hope for a new future to bloom.”** Ramon Elani is an acausal, anti-modern, heathen poet and author. He holds a PhD in literature and philosophy. He lives with his family among mountains and rivers in Western New England. He follows the way of wyrd. *http://bit.ly/LandHomeGods **http://bit.ly/ElaniWorldsEnd Episode Notes: - The essays featured in this episode are ‘Land, Home, and the Gods’ (http://bit.ly/LandHomeGods), ‘World’s End’ (http://bit.ly/ElaniWorldsEnd), and ‘Our Rage Against The Modern World’ co-written with Rhyd Wildermuth (http://bit.ly/RageAgainstModern), published at Gods & Radicals: http://bit.ly/GRelani - Ramon’s other work can be found at: https://thetigersleap.wordpress.com - The songs featured in this episode is “Uk,” “Shell of Light,” and “Ghost Hardware” by Burial from the album Untrue. - The title card features “On a way to the Feast in the Trollcastle (1904)” by Theodor Kittelsen.

Alex Lyman, senior copywriter at Western New England University talks about the entrepreneurial spirit in college students. Universities are tuning into Millenials and Generation Z and the importance of inventing their own products and launching a business. Change is amoung us!

Pretty full plate of college wrestling action going down on Saturday, but first, my oldest Lucy still isn’t feeling good, but my wife survived her 20+ hour trip back to the U.S. from Singapore just in time to make dinner. I’m actually kidding. We picked up dinner on the way home from the airport and I do most of the cooking because I have the job that has the home office. She’s also like, super awesome at her job. With the homestead back to normal, save the kiddo being sick, I’d like to welcome you to Short Time Shots, a semi-daily podcast aimed at giving you, the wrestling fan, all you need to know about the night’s (or previous day’s) wrestling news in a short, somewhat funny, or not, format. I’m Jason Bryant and I’ve skipped over the Octoberfests and I’ve gone right to the porters and stouts! There were 24 duals in Division I on Saturday with most of them taking place in the Capital Region of New York where Mr. Awesome Frank Popolizio hosted the Journeymen MyHouse Northeast Duals. We saw a lot of good individual action and a few upsets, but the biggest one team-wise came as Utah Valley knocked off No. 15 Rutgers 24-14. Rutgers jumped out to a big lead early, with a pair of major decisions at 125 and 133. After Utah Valley’s Matt Findlay picked up a fall at 141, Rutgers’ Anthony Ashnault matched it with a fall of his own at 149, giving Rutgers a 14-4 lead after four matches. Now, say it in your Red Dawn voice, the WOLVERINES, reeled off six straight wins to close things out, the biggest likely being Grant LaMont’s 9-6 win over John Van Brill at 157 pounds. Tanner Orndorff’s 9-2 win over Matthew Correnti sealed the deal after 197. Utah Valley did fight pretty hard earlier in the day, and that’s just not one of those cliché headlines when a team gets blown out. Yes, we saw a few of those already with teams “fighting hard” in a 48-3 loss or something like that. Yeah, you actually didn’t. You know who did, though? Utah Valley. No. 12 Nebraska, which was favored by like 19.5 points according to that one online sportsbook that’s now throwing out wrestling lines, needed a crucial win at 197 pounds by Eric Schultz to avoid the upset. Even without Zeke Moisey for that dual, the Huskers held on 19-15. No. 12 Nebraska went 3-0 on the day, also picking up a 28-9 win over Drexel and a 21-15 win over Virginia. No, we didn’t see Louie Hayes vs. Zeke Moisey. Moisey wrestled one match on the day, one where he had to do everything he could to beat Drexel freshman Antonio Mininno 8-7. Elsewhere in Troy, Utah Valley’s Matt Findlay and Virginia’s Sam Krivus both beat Nebraska All-American Chad Red on the day. Another Husker, Isaiah White, had a rough day as well. The former Division II national champion fell to Ebed Jarrell of Drexel and Demetrius Romero of Utah Valley. No. 17 Purdue went 2-0, blasting Bloomsburg 35-5 and Drexel 25-14. No. 21 Wyoming beat Edinboro 33-6 and Virginia 21-9. I’m going to give Johnny Clark some time here. Sacred Heart is no stranger to this show. I had their old coach Andy Lausier on the show on two different occasions, but he’s now at Davidson and Clark is running the show. On Saturday in Troy, Sacred Heart won two duals, which was the exact amount they won last year. They won two duals against Division I opposition, which has only happened sparingly since former coach Andy Seras left, like 10+ years ago. And not only did they win two duals against D1 competition, they did it in the same DAY. Now the internet archive kinda sucks when trying to pull up database-drive sites like the old InterMat from 10 years ago, but the most likely scenario that saw Sacred Heart ever win two Division I duals in one day was when Seras was coaching them and the Pioneers were in the CAA. It was also Sacred Heart’s first Division I win in the last eight years over a team not named Bloomsburg, Davidson or VMI. While Sacred Heart did also beat Bloomsburg on Saturday, the win I’m talking about here is the 24-22 win over The Citadel. Three things you LIKELY didn’t know about Sacred Heart - it’s program started in 1999, it’s in Fairfield, Connecticut and it’s the only Catholic university with a Division I wrestling program. While we’re talking about religious schools doing cool things … Cal Baptist is in its first year transitioning from Division II to Division I, which means the Lancers are in a bit of a no-man’s land when it comes to postseason competition. Coach Lennie Zalesky’s squad earned its first win as a Division I program over a Division I program on Saturday with a 28-10 win over Cal Poly. So I found myself watching the closing bouts of Western Colorado’s 18-17 win over Nebraska-Kearney. I love small college wrestling because of the cool, wacky things that go on. So Western Colorado was formerly known as Western State College, then it became Western State Colorado University, if for nothing more than to keep all the merchandise that said WSC relevant. I guess that old gear ran out and the board of visitors said, ok, we’re Western Colorado University now. A fall by Konnor Schmidt at 197 pounds gave Western Colorado a four-point lead heading into heavyweight and Kearney’s Jarrod Hinrichs did everything he could to score bonus points to try to send the dual to criteria or win outright, but came up just short 10-3, which clinched the dual for the Mountaineers. This was under a mat lamp, there were dudes with their chests painted hoopin’ and hollerin’ around the mat. It was a wild atmosphere. By the way, Western Colorado holds the distinction of being the highest school in college sports - NO, I don’t mean that kind of high with the laws in Colorado, I mean the altitude. Gunnison, Colorado sits 7,700 feet above sea-level. The University of Wyoming holds that distinction in Division I, at just over 7,200 feet. Yes, I was a geography nerd as a kid. The last time Clackamas Community College tasted defeat came back in 2015 when Division I Oregon State topped the Cougars. And this narrative of winning streaks will continue as Clackamas won its 40th straight dual, topping NAIA Eastern Oregon 34-10 on Saturday. The Clackamas win streak is the nation’s third longest in any division, behind NAIA Grand View, which has won 64 dual meets in a row dating back to November 7, 2014 when the Vikings were narrowly defeated by Iowa State, yes, THAT Iowa State 22-18. In case you’re wondering, Penn State’s streak is second behind Grand View at 45 and counting. In Division III, Springfield won the City Championship, beating the other three college wrestling teams in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Pride beat Western New England 24-17, American International 45-8 and Springfield Tech 45-6. Now to some notable tournament nuggets. The first one we’ll go with will be out in Fargo, where Mike Quamme is still likely buying beers at the Bison Turf. Don’t know Quamme? Ask Chris Willaert about their trip to Rio … oh wait, that’s right, Willaert wasn’t there. Quamme was one of the dudes who was with me and Julia Salata when we were all over Olympic Late Night with Ryan Seacrest. He’s also an NDSU alum. Oh yeah, NDSU. Gable Steveson, wrestling unattached, won the Bison Open beating 2017 All-American Tanner Hall of Arizona State 3-1 in sudden victory in the finals. Minnesota beat Air Force 33-3 in Colorado Springs on Friday night, so as of this moment, Steveson’s on redshirt. How long he stays there remains to be seen. Anything else notable? Well, other than Lee Pritts reminding me where he taught me how to play blackjack on Friday night, nah, not really. Returning national champion Zahid Valencia won at 174 pounds, picking up three falls and spending 4:48 on the mat all tournament. In Des Moines at the Grand View Open, it was mostly a redshirting freshman showcase as titles were won by Nebraska’s Alex Thomson, Iowa State’s David Carr, and Iowa’s duo of Nelson Brands and Anthony Cassioppi. At the Kaufman-Brand in St. Louis, Missouri’s Brock Mauller won again. Everytime this kid wins a tournament, he’s going to get into Short Time Shots. It could be the Afton Quadrangular, I don’t care. I want more Brock Mauller. At the Northern Colorado Open, Aaron Brooks won again. What’s also interesting about that tournament is Northern Colorado’s Rico Montoya, an NCAA qualifier last season at 133, won at 125 pounds. Johnson & Wales had five champions and scored 153.5 points to win the Roger Williams Invitational up in Bristol, Rhode Island. One thing some of you folks don’t know about is how active and competitive Division III is. Johnson & Wales’ returning national champion Jay Albis, who saw both positive and negative comments from fans after first-period tech fall against a Division I opponent last week, well, he was upended 6-4 by Southern Maine’s Peter Del Gallo in overtime in the finals at 125. Not to bring up Albis’ loss in a negative light, but seriously folks, if you would just GO to a Division III tournament and start following it as a whole, you’ll see the competitiveness there is among some of the best … in the WORLD. I announce the biggest and best tournaments the world has to offer and TRUST ME, the Division III championships is one of the most fun tournaments on the planet. UNSCRIPTED DIVISION III RANT JWU champs were Jordan Robinson at 133, Gabe McDaniel at 141, Da’Mani Burns at 149, Khamri Thomas at 184 and Michael DiNardo at 197. North Central won the Trine Invitational, outdistancing second-place Olivet 149.5 to 127. In California, West Hills College edged Bakersfield College 158.5-158 to win the Southeast Wrestling Alliance Conference. That’s in the California Community College league. They wrestle a fall semester only. West Hills had three champs. Bakersfield, the RENEGADES, had four. Not much on the women’s side to report, other than Emmanuel beat King and the University of the Cumberlands in dual meet competition. As always, all these scores and more available at the nation’s most comprehensive college wrest

I found bags for the leaves. YES! It took about two and a half hours to clear the yard, but at least I got it all done before the rains came. I would litter this episode with lyrics inspired by Annie Lennox, but that’d be painful for you, just like walking on broken glass. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly unfunny podcast that recaps the day’s happenings in college wrestling. I’m your host Jason Bryant, and I have many leatherbound books and I do this kind of stuff for a living. Seriously. At the Harold Nichols Cyclone Open, here are the notables out there, but there are no more I love yous. Wisconsin’s Tristan Moran topped Northern Iowa’s Josh Alber in the finals by picking up a second-period fall at 141 pounds. At 149 pounds, Missouri’s Brock Mauller, who probably has THE wrestling name of the year, picked up a 12-6 win in the finals over Iowa State’s Jarrett Degan. Mauller beat Wisconsin’s Cole Martin to reach the finals. At 165 pounds, Evan Wick of Wisconsin beat Northern Iowa’s Bryce Steiert 3-2 in the finals in a matchup of All-Americans. UNI did see All-American Drew Foster major Iowa State’s Sam Colbray 14-0 in the finals at 184. New Cyclone Willie Miklus was solid with two falls on his way to a 5-2 finals victory over NAIA national champion Evan Hansen of Grand View in the finals at 197. Clarion Open Not a whole lot going on up at Clarion in terms of star-power, but notable performances were, well, notable. Eastern Michigan transfer Armando Torres captured the crown for Cleveland State at 133 pounds, beating Bloomsburg’s Lewis Williams 3-2 in the final. At 184, Michael Beard, who’s not on a roster this season but is bound for Penn State, topped NCAA qualifier Greg Bulsak of Clarion 13-9 in the finals. What’s also interesting is after building a 13-2 lead midway through the second period, Beard got hit four times for stalling and gave up nearfall late. What’s also interesting is since Beard isn’t on a college roster, his wins and losses don’t count. Nuance of an NCAA rules regarding official records say you have to be enrolled for results to count, even in opens. So all those guys losing to Aaron Brooks don’t have to worry about their record either. Speaking of Aaron Brooks … Heavyweight was an interesting weight as Pittsburgh’s Demetrius Thomas topped Division III national champion Jake Evans 14-4 in the semifinals on his way to the championship. Thomas was an NAIA national champion at Williams Baptist as a freshman and was second last year before transferring to Pittsburgh. He had to beat Seth Nevills, an unrostered soon-to-be Nittany Lion 9-7 in the second round. Cowboy Open Wyoming had a bunch of guys win, no biggie there. Junior world silver medalist and Penn State bound Aaron Brooks won at 184 pounds. He’s spending this year at the OTC. While it’s impressive for a kid like Brooks to come in and win a college open, let’s not get too carried away about his competition. He’s a blue-chip, can’t miss recruit, so beating a pair of Division II guys and an Air Force guy who hasn’t been their full-time starter yet shouldn’t be cause for alarm. He’s going to be good on the next level and his scores were impressive, but I wouldn’t consider this a huge test for him just yet. Michigan State Open Michigan State’s RayVon Foley was very solid in earning the title at 125, beating Central Michigan’s Drew Hildebrandt in the semifinals and majoring Michigan’s Drew Mattin 12-3 in the finals. Kanen Storr beat teammates in back-to-back rounds to pick up a title for Michigan at 141 pounds, while Penn freshman Anthony Artalona won the title at 149. Michigan’s got a real nice situation at 157 where true freshman Will Lewan topped All-American and teammate Alec Pantaleo 10-8 in the finals there. Lewan already stole a match in the wrestle-offs from Pantaleo, but let’s just be clear, there’s no way Lewan is starting this year unless something bad happens to Pantaleo. But man, that’s just impressive. Speaking of impressive, Darden Schurg, a Division III All-American from Wabash, came away as the champion at 174 pounds and he did it pretty impressively. After beating returning Division III champion Jairod James of Mount Union in the quarters, Schurg teched Oklahoma’s Anthony Mantanona before beating Northern Illinois’ Brit Wilson in the finals. Wilson had beaten Michigan State’s Drew Hughes in the semis, so - cliché warning - Schurg is ready to wrestle this year. And Wabash? They’re the LITTLE GIANTS! At heavyweight, Mason Parris pinned Central Michigan’s Matt Stencel in 14 seconds to win the title at heavyweight. Bruh. Here comes the rain again? More like here comes the PAIN again. Ithaca Invitational in Division III Returning NCAA Division III champion Ben Brisman of Ithaca won five bouts en route to the title at 141 pounds. Brisman topped Castleton’s Max Tempel 10-3 in the finals. At 184, a pair of All-Americans tangled as Ithaca’s Jake Ashcraft and Western New England’s John Boyle got reacquainted. Last year at the D3 championships, Ashcraft majored Boyle 12-2 in the third-place match. This time it was a 4-0 win for Ashcraft. Ithaca won the team championship with 167 points and four champions. You know what else is cool? Seeing a school win its first tournament title in nearly 40 years. That’s exactly what happened as Gettysburg crowned four individual champions to win the Messiah Invitational over host Messiah 110.5-97. Also of note, Andy Vogel, the head coach of Gettysburg and the man behind D3wrestle.com, is a Messiah alum. Champions for the Bullets, YES THE BULLETS, and not the crappy kind like the old Washington Bullets, were Robert Garnett at 141, Colin Devlin at 149, Colin Kowalski at 174 and Paul Triandafilou at heavyweight. That last name is easy for me - why? If I can say the Mongolians without an issue, Triandafilou is a walk in the park! York College, the one in Pennsylvania, won the Ned McGinley Monarch Invitational held at King’s College in Pennsylvania. They’ve got that Spartan Spirit as Sparty Gang Green won four individual titles for coach Duane Bastress. On to the dual meets! No. 2 Ohio State returned to the state of Maryland to take on Navy. The end result was a 28-9 win for the Buckeyes in a dual where Navy battled hard for most of the matches, but faded at the end of several bouts. Myles Martin’s a New Jersey native, but went to high school at McDonogh School, where the dual was held. Martin looked solid, picking up one of two technical falls on the night - the other came at 149 pounds by Micah Jordan. Joey McKenna needed a pair of escapes and a riding time point to get past Navy’s Nic Gil 3-2 at 141 pounds. McKenna was fresh off the plane after competing in Friday’s All-Star Classic in Denver. No. 7 Missouri blasted No. 15 Illinois 30-8 in the Grapple at the Grove, an outdoor event prior to the Illinois football game in Champaign. All-American Jaydin Eierman got past Mikey Carr 12-10 at 141 pounds, while true freshman Jake Elam, fresh off his silver medal performance at the Junior Worlds, beat Deuce Rachal 10-4 at 285 pounds. Illinois did have one bright spot as transfer Joey Gunther knocked off Mizzou’s Connor Flynn 4-1 at 165 pounds. No. 16 Rutgers cruised in three wins at the RAC in front of over 4,200 fans. The Scarlet Knight faithful saw the return of Anthony Ashnault to the lineup. The three-time All-American pinned all three of his opponents on the day, including returning NCAA qualifier Khristian Olivas of Fresno State. As far as the duals went, Rutgers beat Fresno State 30-6 and pounded Division III schools Johnson & Wales 38-5 and Centenary 48-3. Yes, Nick Suriano wrestled at 133 and yes, that’s where he WILL stay this year. If anyone tells you he might be going down at some point this year, that isn’t happening, folks. Trust me. In Division III, Washington & Lee got an overtime victory at 285 pounds by freshman Clay Chadwick to upend No. 11 Ferrum 20-15. Having grown up in Virginia and been aware of the Generals program for over 20 years, this is the biggest win I can remember in the program’s history. Congrats to Nate Shearer and crew in Lexington. Thomas More, yes, the Saints and we’re not talking about Val Kilmer here, picked up a 35-9 win over Kentucky Wesleyan on Saturday. Can we talk about Elisabeth Shue, though? Seriously though, the match was the first dual in Kentucky Wesleyan history. Who got the school’s first wins? LaMont Wilson, Caleb Craig and Daniel Lopez did the honors for KWU.

Our Friday podcast is our game day special, the one you listen to when you know to know everything about the upcoming week's games. Pat and guest co-host Frank Rossi of In the Huddle go through a half-dozen big games, then a half-dozen one-liners, and Frank makes six picks at the end to see if he can take them to the house. Basically, this entire podcast consists of putting Frank on the spot, as he was called to fill in for Keith McMillan. We waited for the full class period before leaving, though, since Keith must have a Ph.D. in Division III football. Our guest this week is Western New England coach Jason Lebeau, who talks about how you find Division III schools with football everywhere in New England, what it's like taking over at your alma mater as a first-year head coach (sound familiar?) and talks about his players to watch so far this season. Plus, Pat clucks like a chicken and talks like a computer, and Frank autocorrects Pat on his six incorrect picks from last week's batch of 25. That and more in the latest D3football.com Around the Nation podcast. The D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast is a regular conversation between Pat Coleman and Keith McMillan and guests covering the wide range of Division III football.

I got no crazy intro here because I spent two hours on a call tonight with Mason Beckman. It’s coming up on Short Time which will be put out on Wednesday. As for now, I’m Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant, and this is Short Time Shots, a quick recap of the day’s college wrestling action and news from November 21, 2017. The pin chain was in full effect at St. John Arena in Columbus where second-ranked Ohio State won two “duals” against Cleveland State and Kent State at the Thanksgiving Throwdown. Luke Pletcher, Micah Jordan, Kollin Moore and Kyle Snyder each had falls on the day. The Buckeyes beat Kent State 38-9 and Cleveland State 43-3. Kent State topped Cleveland State 36-9. Air Force and Fresno State matched up on Tuesday ON A BOAT. Well, technically the USS Midway is an aircraft carrier. Air Force encroached on its military comrades to use their boat and beat the start-up Bulldogs 24-12. This one’s drawn considerable media attention, check out the daily wrestling newsletter by signing up at mattalkonline.com/news to read all about it. In Division II, King rallied from a 22-6 deficit to win the last four weights to beat Belmont Abbey 23-22 in an ECAC matchup. Virginia Beach native Eldon Valery picked up his match-winning takedown in sudden victory at 285 pounds that also gave the Tornado the team win. Also in the mix there was Queens University earning its first dual meet win in school history. Ken Chertow’s Royals -- yes, THAT Ken Chertow -- won eight out of 10 bouts and Seth Petarra, yes, the same Seth Petarra who goes bonkers over international wrestling rankings, earned the lone fall of the dual for Queens. It’s the first year of the program, which is going to compete as an NCWA team this season before fully competing in Division II next year. And yes, you WILL get an e-mail about it. Sixth-ranked Pitt-Johnstown won again. The Mountain Cats beat East Stroudsburg 34-9 in a PSAC tilt. In Division III, second-ranked Augsburg trounced St. Olaf 42-9. Yes, I know, I know. You think I’m going to make a reference about that show and that one woman who’s still alive at like 900 years old. Well, I won’t. Alex Wilson notched the fastest fall of the night for the Auggies, a 57-second fall at 149. Augsburg is the Auggies, St. Olaf is the Oles, St. John’s in the Johnnies … oh, it gets worse. Other schools in that conference are St. Thomas. They’re the Tommies. Gustavas Adophus? The Gusties. And Concordia out in Moorhead? Well, they’re at least sane. Fear the Ear. They’re the Cobbers. My niece Ashley is a freshman there this year. One of the ol’ clients here on the Mat Talk Podcast Network is the Beavers of Buena Vista. Well things didn’t go great for the Beavers tonight as Northwestern College of Iowa had just a few too many bonus points to get the 20-18 victory. Northwestern is an NAIA school in Orange City, Iowa, but they’re the RED Raiders. No worries, coach Rik Dahl is color blind. Graceland got all shook up beating Ottawa 35-12 in NAIA action. The Yellow Jackets are off to a solid start this year. U. of the Cumberlands topped Division II Bellarmine 26-17 in a matchup of Kentucky programs. UW-Eau Claire beat Luther 27-14, while UW-Whitewater beat UW-Platteville 33-10. That does it for all the YOU DUBS tonight. We’ll to east where WPI topped Western New England 36-9 in a New England matchup. There’s a TON of D3 schools in New England. I still have yet to visit Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont and New Hampshire. Don’t worry, Massachusetts, you’re good. I was up there in 1992. In the junior college ranks, we had CRITERIA SEVEN! A few years ago, when Rider beat Wisconsin on what was then the fourth criteria, first takedown, people were incensed. Then, they should have cared a year earlier, since it was a full year after the “first takedown” criteria was instituted as the fourth criteria but it hadn’t decided a D1 dual until then. Well, now we’ve got first takedown still as a criteria, but it’s the last one. SEVENTH on the list. So how’d this happen on Tuesday? Itasca Community College and Minnesota West, two two-year institutions up here in the great state of Minnesota went back and forth. There were only four bouts wrestled, so we had six forfeits -- which sucks. But all 10 bouts were six-point victories, thus, there were no individual match scores to tabulate with other criteria and there were no penalty points. Ultimately, it was Tanner Reetz who scored the first takedown of the dual to give Itasca the win. Oh you wacky JUCO’s. I should have asked Beckman what Lehigh’s REAL mascot is. To many, they’re still the Engineers. To Gimp, they’re the South Mountaineers or Turkey Buzzards or something.

Presencia is a bilingual TV Show produced by local PBS Television station WGBY, and hosted by Verónica García and Zydalis Bauer. This magazine show features stories of the Latino community in the Pioneer Valley and Western New England. On this episode, Verónica and Zydalis talk about the story of Presencia, and their experiences making this project.

Family Reunion features stories of two young people who came to the United States to re-unite with their families. Western New England is home to immigrants and refugees from around the globe, and their presence revitalizes the region and redefines its culture. Their journeys have involved fear, uprootedness, and isolation as well as perseverance, creativity, and hope. New England Public Radio (NEPR), in collaboration with Copeland Colloquium at Amherst College produced Words in Transit, an oral history project collected the personal stories of nearly thirty people who have made this area their new home.
