...only collegiate player on Team Finland is forward Hanne Sikio of No. 8 Minnesota-Duluth (10-0-0, 10-0-0 WCHA), the second-leading scorer in Division I. Sikio will miss UMD's two-game series this weekend at No. 5 Minnesota (10-3-0, 7-0-0 WCHA), the Bulldogs' first ranked opponent of the season...
Niagara (9-1-1, 5-1-0) is in second place because of its easy schedule thus far. The Purple Eagles have beaten up on Maine and Boston College, and they split a two-game series at Cornell. But things will be much more difficult for Niagara, the only ECAC team without a travel partner. The Eagles host UNH this weekend and then travel to Cambridge for two games at Harvard...
...cockpit door opens again. The master alarms start to whoop. A voice demands, "What's going on?" or "What's happening?" Then the same voice urges, "Pull with me! Pull with me!" Twenty-seven seconds into the dive, the horizontal elevators on the tail that normally operate in tandem to stabilize the aircraft wrench in opposite directions: the left side pulls to make the plane climb, the right one pushes to keep it in a dive.

Even the Y2K problem has morphed from potential cataclysm to commercial punch line: a Nike ad shows a man going...
...DOUBLY SURE The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures deposits up to $100,000, but when banks merge, the insurance does not add up with it. Do you have separate accounts totaling more than $100,000 at two merging financial institutions? First, congratulations. Second, remember the combined amount will be covered only until six months after the merger is completed. Beyond that, deposits held under the same name or type of account are insured only up to the $100,000 limit. "It's up to you to restructure your accounts during the six months," says FDIC counsel Christopher Hencke...
