Appert Out at Rensselaer


Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is looking for a new men's hockey mentor for the first time since 2006. RPI relieved head coach Seth Appert of his duties on Monday after he went 152-221-48 over 11 seasons at the helm of the Engineers.

Appert's best season came in 2010-11 when RPI finished 20-13-5 overall and qualified for the NCAA Tournament. His tenure in Troy, N.Y. was the third-longest in program history, behind Dan Fridgen and the legendary Ned Harkness. The Engineers went 8-28-1 this just-completed campaign, and were swept in the first round of the ECAC Tournament by Clarkson.

Appert, a Cottage Grove, Minn. native, lettered in goal at Ferris State in the mid-1990s when I was the Hockey SID at Michigan State, before he served nine years as an assistant coach at Denver. He was always gracious and giving of his time when I covered RPI as a reporter over the past decade, and I wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors.

  1. It's not entirely surprising that heat ruins your brain, since it does the same thing to all the rest of you as well. You need more energy just to stay cool in the heat, and since your cognitive function is inhibited as well, the hotter it gets, the harder it is for your brain to match the achievement of your air conditioned peers. Sudden high heat on the ol' goody bag will screw things up badly in the trousers department. (Michael Kors Sady Tote Bag Black)

    Coach Work Bag Outlet, First is to spend some time up front identifying the mission and the deliverables, and then having a real discussion about who's the right executive to lead the team and not just leaving that up to default. If you get somebody's who's not up to the task, you're not going to get the right answer at the end. For the projects that are most critical in my view for the success of the year, they meet with me.

    The turreted gastropods Turritella imbricateria and Turritella sulcifera are very common, and sharks teeth and ray fish teeth (see above) can be found from time to time. Both the sea defences and the retreat of the coast away from the most fossiliferous strata has much reduced the fossil collecting potential. Nevertheless good specimens can still be found in the Naish Farm area between Barton and Highcliffe, and the cliffs at the back of the beach here are well worth a visit..

    Lived nearshore, in waters of 10 15m deep. The trigoniids of the Mesozoic were shallow burrowers that had life positions similar to that of Neotrigonia, the only living genus of the family. Trigoniids can be considered the cockles of the Mesozoic, but had less mobility, in part because of the friction of the complex hinge teeth. (Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Small Black Cross Body Bag)
