How to search on Google
Learn a few tips and tricks to help you easily find information on Google.
Tip 1: Keep it simple
No matter what you're looking for, start with a simple search like
where's the closest airport?. You can always add a few descriptive words if necessary.
If you're looking for a place or product in a specific location, add the location. For example,
bakery seattle.
Tip 2: Search using your voiceTired of typing? Click the microphone icon in the Google app or Chrome's search box to search by voice.
Tip 3: Choose words carefully
When you're deciding what words to put in the search box, try to choose words that are likely to appear on the site you're looking for. For example, instead of saying
my head hurts, say
headache, because that's the word a medical site would use.
Tip 4: Don't worry about the little things
- Spelling. Google's spell checker automatically uses the most common spelling of a given word, whether or not you spell it correctly.
- Capitalization. A search for
New York Timesis the same as a search for
new york times.
Tip 5: Find quick answers
For many searches, Google will do the work for you and show an answer to your question on the search results. Some features, like information about sports teams, aren't available in all regions.
- Weather: Search
weatherto see the weather in your location or add a city name, like
weather Seattle, to find weather for a certain place.
- Dictionary: Put
definein front of any word to see its definition.
- Calculations: Enter a math equation like
3*9123, or solve complex graphing equations.
- Unit conversions: Enter any conversion, like
3 dollars in euros.
- Sports: Search for the name of your team to see a schedule, game scores and more.
- Quick facts: Search for the name of a celebrity, location, movie, or song to find important information.

Meet Carole Snow
The Woodlands, Texas
Bachelor of Philosophy Northwestern University
The Banff Centre Alberta, Canada Film Studies
A first-year student in the Master of Arts in Pastoral Care and Counseling Program at Garrett-Evangelical, Carol is also a producer at RealLab Productions. Below is her story and why she came to study at Garrett-Evangelical.
I am an independent producer and filmmaker. What that entails is looking for interesting stories and then finding money to tell that interesting story through moving pictures. Producing has been the capstone to a decade-long journalism career that ignited something so deep in me that I became very much invested in the human condition.
My job has sent me on 32-hour flights to the Himalayas, over horse trails in Tennessee and sometimes to Ann Arbor for a few hours. It doesn't matter what subject I am covering via documentary - I find that people have the same struggle. We want to be heard, and we want to be valued. These are the tenets that make us feel alive. They make us human.
This has much to do with why I eventually came stumbling into seminary this fall. I do mean stumbling. I am clumsy in life. This is the biggest lesson I have learned in filmmaking - we all are. The ebb and flow of being human is seldom a gorgeous, symmetrical bell curve with a climax in the middle as we float down to earth with age and time. If anything, our lives can look much like the stock charts between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., with unexpected dips and rises.
The problem was this: I had no journalistic wall. I instantly cared for the people I was covering and reporting on, and it grew into my documentary work. I took my work home with me. I am here studying Pastoral Care and Counseling because at some point I decided that perhaps interviewing in another form - that allowing people to tell their stories - would eventually help someone.
And while I answer questions all day on campus as to why a filmmaker would come to seminary, the transition has been an easy one. I'm learning a new way to listen. I am learning that instead of extracting information to share with the public, I allow those in my sphere to give up little pieces of themselves and know they are being heard.
This summer I traveled to Nepal for the documentary, Keeper of the Mountains, which covers the history of Himalayan climbing (yep, Everest) through Himalayan chronicler Elizabeth Hawley. Hawley, a notoriously tough interview and intensely private woman, allowed me to sit across from her for five days asking questions about being in love and why a 40-year-old woman would pack up and move to Kathmandu in the 1960s.
She challenged me. "Why not?" She recounted tales of delivering the news to Sir Edmund Hillary that his wife, Louise, and, daughter, Belinda, had died in a plane crash. Hawley had taken a helicopter up to the Khumbu region and proceeded to help Hillary mend his life with food and company.
I looked around her office as I saw New Zealand postage stamps with Hillary's likeness and a slew of very valuable climbing maps and books parked in every corner. While Hawley was never a climber herself, she admired the men and women that took to the peaks. Some were looking for adventure and some where trying to get away from problems at home.
I think in some way we all tackle life the way climbers do. The upward climb and those moments when you lose elevation after much struggle. You need the help of your teammates, and other times you are alone on a rock face being pummeled by weather. In the high regions, nothing warms the climber more than a cup of some serious tea from a stranger.
These turning points we all experience. Those of pain and camaraderie are the focus of my mission. That we are all in this together (life) and we need to share those experiences. We need to be vocal, to tell someone we are in pain. Now Intro to Pastoral Care and Counseling recommends that you should never say "I know how you feel." Sometimes though - I think this is way okay.
Movies, television, music: They speak to us, because we see something in ourselves in others, this human narrative. I was working in small groups in our Vocational Formation and Church Leadership class - in a discussion on Dr. Martin Luther King's "Letter From a Birmingham Jail" - when a very sharp classmate of mine pointed out that perhaps people were able to bus down to the South because they saw the shocking images on television of fire hoses, dogs and utter hate from humans like us.
I am here at Garrett and working hard in the documentary community for this reason: There are so many stories to be told. Like John Steinbeck reporting on migrant workers in the Depression, or Steve James telling us about violence and ultimately, healing in Chicago - and on down to the one-on-one construct of a counseling environment - you've got to know how much your story matters.
in your articles. I'll bookmark your blog and check again here frequently.
I am quite sure I will learn lots of new stuff right here!
Best of luck for the next!

User Reviews
Pierre-Julien Deloche - MINOX APO HG 10x43
My name is Pierre-Julien Deloche and I live in the South-East of France. My sport is archery which I have been practicing since 2005. I have been in the national team since 2007 and am now ranked no. 1 in the world. My job in a maritime rescue coordination center for the French coastguard allows me a privileged schedule to compete with the best in the world.
Gear Review - MINOX HG 10x52
When new hunters begin their long learning adventure into hunting one of their first questions is how much should I spend on binoculars and then most experienced hunters reply "as much as you can afford." Most new hunters do not understand why you would spend as much or more money on binoculars then your rifle but then quickly an epiphoney happens when glassing mountain sides for hours and you have a pounding headache. Another important consideration is that most game activity happens around dawn and dusk in low light conditions, conditions cheap optics do not perform well in. Trust me I have been through this experiment using compact $25 tasco binoculars then trying mid range 8 power and 10 power optics which where definately an improvement.
Binomania.it tests the MINOX APO HG 8x43 - High quality but inexpensive
Minox upgraded the lineup of its high level binoculars. Right now the series HG (High Grade) comprises of six models. The main innovation is in the field of view (FOV), which is now 15% larger than in the previous models.

FishVille Overview
PetVille is one of the top Facebook virtual pet simulation games. As a 3D side scrolling browser based flash game it brings cuteness to an entirely new level. Each pet has the ability to dance, put on a rock show, practice high flying Kung Fu kicks, and thoroughly entertain their owners. The funky animated expressions give these creatures a cool playful style. Players can customize every aspect of their virtual pet from their fur pattern to their lovely abode. There is even a pet personality feature that allows players to change the way their pet interacts with other pets. Compete in challenges, visit friends, train them, and show lots of pet love in PetVille.

FishVille Full Review
By Ange Perdu
PetVille is a 3D pet simulation game that allows users to create their dream virtual pet. Select your pet's color, head shape, mouth, ears, brows, fur pattern, and pick out a set of cool eyes to match. Each player can design their furry friend to look as wild or cuddly as they want. Players can clean, feed, care, and play games with their pet. Users receive a one room home that they can decorate and expand as they level up. Choose from an assortment of furniture or décor items to really spruce up your pet's environment. Virtually everything in PetVille can be customized.
Showing Pet Love – the Gameplay
PetVille is all about showing a significant amount of Pet Love which earns valuable Pet Love Points. Most of the gameplay involves caring for your pet through good housekeeping, feedings, participating in various activities, and shopping sprees. Good housekeeping is important in PetVille. Meters on the side of the screen monitor the cleanliness and hunger status of your pet. These virtual pets are messy. Smelly socks, dirty shorts, old T-shirts, rotten apple cores, banana peels, paper wads, and even knocked over coffee mugs are scattered throughout the home. Flies swarm around the garbage indicating it's time to clean up. Clicking on the trash will discard it and earn coins as well. It can be quite a hassle to constantly clean up after your pet but it's a major part of the gameplay and necessary. Although, the cleaning process sounds simple it can be frustrating at times. Some trash items are stashed in rather odd places making it easy to overlook at first glance. Banana peels on top of the refrigerator, socks on the window sill, and a few hidden apple cores high in kitchen cabinets slows down the process. Among the filth pets get dirty too. Smudges will appear on their face by clicking and dragging the soap bar repeatedly over them it disappears. All that cleaning requires an energy boost. Pet food comes in a variety of flavors each lasting a specific amount of time before running out. Peppermint lasts 5 minutes; Berry Swirl lasts 24 hours, and flavors like Mint Choco Chip keeps them satisfied for a whopping two days. If a pet's food bowl runs out they will check into the pound causing owners to pay a hefty fine to bring them back.
The Art of Cupcake Training
Visiting neighbors, completing challenges, and giving your pet personality training also earns XP or coins. Players can greet their neighbor by clicking the icon balloon on the left side of the screen. Options to perform a radical high five, spread gossip, tickle, dance, kiss, or a secret handshake appear. Tidy up a neighbor's pad to keep their pet status happy. This pays off in the later when you collect your Neighborhood Bonus which is one large sum for having X amount of joyful neighbors per day. Each week pets can participate in challenges. They include tasks like kissing 10 neighbors or sending a note to new members of PetVille. A very cool feature in the game is the Pet Personality training option. Users choose from outgoing, trouble-maker, and creative personality types. Eating special training cupcakes will boost skill point enabling players to unlock five distinct actions matching the persona. Characters will express these emotions when playing with other pets or standing still. New items are also unlocked. It's a fun feature to further customize your furry pal. Pets do wacky tricks when fed special cookie treats usually only given as gifts. Pets take off in flying saucers, hula hoop, and other mind-boggling tricks. It's entertaining and adds to the lighthearted nature of the game.
Bubble Pop Challenge
Where PetVille lacks is in the mini-game department. There is only one game that users can play called Bubble Pop. In this game a player must pop all the bubbles their adorable virtual pet blows by clicking it quickly before it floats out of reach. Although simple it is challenging. Speed and accuracy is essential in order to make it to the next round. Each level increases in difficulty with more bubbles blowing in the air at a faster rate. Players have to keep up and make sure they pop the required amount to progress. High scores are rewarded with coins. Bubble Pop is a surprisingly entertaining game. Currently, it's the only mini-game available in PetVille. Hopefully, since the game is still in Beta there will be more games added in the future.
Shop Til' You Drop – Customization Heaven
PetVille rules when it comes to customization. Players can add their own personality and style to create a special pet themed virtual world. It's the little details that Zynga's PetVille offers to users that really stand out. Clicking on the globe icon prompts a map of local shops. Customize your virtual pet with the latest trends or costumes at the clothing store. Most items can be purchased using in-game coins. Buy print screen t-shirts, dresses, shorts, shoes, and other accessories like flower pins. Pets can also dress up in costumes. They are slightly more expensive but Indiana Jones, Yellow Chick, and even Star Wars characters costumes are on sell. Remodeling your pet's home is done by taking a trip to the hardware store. Purchase décor items from wall hangings, figurines, scenic windows, wood finished floors, tiles, to a complete sushi bar with Chef. Hybrid vehicles and tools for the garage are also available. A build a yard feature requires users to spam friends for basic supplies like fertilizer, dirt, and rolls of grass to construct their yard. Once the yard is built users can buy special items to produce a traditional backyard or exotic jungle. The ability to customize the look and personality of virtual pets in PetVille separates this game from other popular pet simulations. Technology items like an iPhone that delivers a personal message to friends visiting adds a nice touch as well. Pet Cash is required for rare items.
Final Verdict: Great
The graphics and customization in this game sets it apart from other similar pet simulation games on Facebook. The brightly colored 3D graphics gives the game a cheerful appeal. The animated expressions are actually quite comical. Having a virtual pet knock on the computer screen to get my attention was a first for me. The personality training feature and unlimited customization make it easy for users to fall in love with their pet creation. Although, the mini-game options is minimal and some spamming is necessary occasionally PetVille is a solid game for virtual pet lovers.

Today (February 7) in 1812 the great British novelist Charles Dickens was born, at Landport in Portsea Island, off the south coast of England. A literary genius is he said to be the the greatest novelist of the Victorian period. He created some of the most well-known fictional characters and his novels and short stories continue to be widely popular.
The "A Christmas Carol" author Charles Dickens visited Ireland in August 1858 as part of a book tour that also included England and Scotland. Even in his own time, Dickens was a celebrity. Much in the same way that any reading by J. K. Rowling would have fans pressed against the door, Dickens' fans packed theatres wherever he read in Ireland.
Dickens traveled by ferry and landed in Dublin's fair city on August 21, 1858. He stayed at what was called then the Morrison's Hotel, on Nassau Street. The old building with an iconic green dome is now a cute coffee shop.
He "wandered about it for 6 to 8 hours in all directions" and then took a carriage ride around Phoenix Park.
Dickens walked to the top of O'Connell Street to what is now called the Ambassador Theatre where he had to push through a crowd of fans to get inside. In front of a crowd of 3,000 more fans inside, Dickens read and acted out parts from "The Story of Little Dombey" and other selected readings. He said about his audience, "of their quickness as to the humor there can be no doubt."
Following his success in Dublin, he took the train up to Belfast, commenting on the ride, "Everything looks prosperous; the railway ride from Dublin [is] quite amazing; every cottage looking as if it had been white-washed the day before; and many with charming gardens, pretty kept with bright flowers."
In Belfast he read from 'A Christmas Carol.' His fans packed into the house, "there was a very great uproar at the opening of the doors, which, the police in attendance being quite insufficient . . . it was impossible to check." Dickens was particularly popular with the ladies. In a letter he wrote home, "Yesterday morning, as I showered the leaves from my geranium in reading Little Dombey, they mounted the platform after I was gone and picked them all up, as keepsakes."
Before his reading in Belfast, Dickens visited Victoria Hall, Giant's Cradle, and the coastal town of Carrickfergus, all of which still draw tourists today. Dickens was further impressed by his Irish audiences. He said about his Belfast fans, "The success at Belfast has been of equal success here. Enormous! I think them a better audience on the whole than Dublin; and the personal affection [here], was something overwhelming."
From Belfast he traveled to Cork via Dublin. He dropped his bags off at the Imperial Hotel, still present today on August 30. Dickens then read at the Athenaeum, now called the Cork Opera House. Before leaving Cork he kissed the Blarney Stone, which is a must for any tourist in Ireland today. Dickens said about Cork, "Cork was an immense success. We found upward of a thousand stalls let, for the three readings. A great many people were turned away too, on the last night."
Having completed his tour of Ireland, Dickens continued on to the next city, but he came back to Ireland for another book tour in 1867 and again in 1869.

From Quarter Horse News, press release:
At McQuay Stables in Tioga, Texas, the focus has long been on exceptional performance - both human and equine. But people close to owners Tim and Colleen McQuay know that underlying all the awards and accolades the couple's real focus has always been the love of the horse.
So, losing any horse would be hard. But saying goodbye to a great one pushed the difficulty to another level when Colonels Smoking Gun, known worldwide simply as "Gunner," lost his battle with laminitis on July 8. The National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Hall of Fame inductee and $5 Million Sire was humanely put down after spending the last week at Equine Medical Associates in Pilot Point, Texas, under the constant care of Dr. John McCarroll.
Gunner was a horse for the ages. When he made his center-stage debut at the NRHA Futurity in 1996, the reining world fell in love with the diminutive sorrel with the floppy ears and white tail. After tying for the NRHA Futurity Open Reserve title as a 3-year-old, he went on win the US Equestrian Team Reining Championship in 2001. He was immortalized as a Breyer Horse and finished his career with earnings over $177,000.
The McQuays have owned Gunner since 2005, and in those ensuing years, his record as a sire elevated him to legendary status. His outstanding offspring include 2009 NRHA Futurity and 2010 Derby Open Champion, Gunnatrashya. Gunner has sired numerous Futurity and Derby finalists and champions, in both the Open and Non Pro divisions, including 2012 NRHA Open Futurity Champion, Americasnextgunmodel, 2012 NRHA Open Futurity Reserve Champion, Gunners Tinseltown, and 2012 NRHA Non Pro Co-Champion, Customized Gunner. Gunner has also sired Gunners Special Nite, winner of the individual Gold medal at the 2010 World Equestrian Games.
Attendees at the 2013 NRHA Derby who watched Jordan Larson ride HF Mobster (Gunner X Dun Its Black Gold) to the Open Championship and Mandy McCutcheon ride Always Gotyer Gunsup (Gunner X Always A Dunit) to the Non Pro Championship had no knowledge that the great stallion had already begun to suffer from the first signs of laminitis.
As the word spread of Gunner's demise, his owners immediately began to receive texts and calls from all over the globe, further evidence of the great stallion's popularity and impact. Tim McQuay noted, "We appreciate everyone who supported Gunner through his career--he had a great team. He will be laid to rest next to Hollywood Dun It on our farm. We will truly miss him."
Colleen McQuay added, Gunner was a sweet happy horse, and when I look at all he has given us I can only be grateful for the time we shared with him. Losing him leaves another hole in our hearts."

From RURAL RADIO, L.L.C:
Sirius XM Radio and RURAL RADIO, L.L.C. today announced the creation of RURAL RADIO, a 24/7 channel devoted to providing a wide variety of programming for and about rural American life, the Western lifestyle, and agribusiness interests.
RURAL RADIO's program schedule will provide a wide variety of original productions focused on agriculture, equine, hunting, fishing, western sports and living the country life.
RURAL RADIO, channel 80, will give SiriusXM listeners all over America, whether driving a tractor cab equipped with satellite radio or driving in city commuter traffic, an unprecedented connection to the rural community.
Every weekday, RURAL RADIO will deliver extensive information for the rural community in North America, including rural news, weather, and market reports during weekday hours as grain, livestock, and other commodity futures are being traded globally. Traders can tune in directly to reports from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. RURAL RADIO will also include audio from many of RFD-TV's most popular shows focusing on rural news, crop, and agriculture reports, and up to the minute analysis that farm and agriculture producers need to make decisions, as well as light-hearted fare, such as the weekly Mollie B Polka Show and classic episodes and interviews from The Ralph Emery Show.
Veteran farm broadcasters Mark Oppold and Janet Adkinson, the current and incoming presidents of the National Association of Farm Broadcasters (NAFB) will anchor three daily, weekday shows—Commodity Wrap, Rural Evening News and Market Day Report, a live 5-hour daily program featuring reports from dedicated news bureaus located at the CME, Chicago Board of Trade, as well as from USDA headquarters in Washington, D.C. Additional daily ag-related programming will be provided through RMG's strong affiliations with the leaders in rural America, including: Farm Journal Media, owners of AGDAY, U.S. Farm Report and AGRITALK, Meredith Corporation's Living The Country Life, various state farm bureaus, and Ag PhD featuring the Hefty Brothers of South Dakota.
Equine enthusiasts will enjoy Horse Talk, a daily, one-hour call-in program that will showcase the leading clinicians and horse associations, and air live coverage from major horse shows that take place all around the world. Vets on Call, another interactive program, will be underwritten by Zoetis Animal Health, who will make its top veterinarians available to answer listener questions and calls on-air.
Western Sports will occupy a large block of programming on RURAL RADIO in late afternoon, in early evening hours, and throughout the weekends with the Western Sports Roundup (WSR). Hosted by Clint Adkins and Alexis Bloomer, WSR will cover Professional Bull Riding (PBR) and the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA) events by interviewing the stars of each association and providing standings. WSR will also cover and offer results from all western sports including cutting, reining, roping, barrel racing and both professional and amateur level bronc-riding, including High School & College Rodeo news, as well as Little Britches and JuniorHigh competitions.
"SiriusXM's coast-to-coast coverage gives us the ability to reach listeners nationwide. The line-up of programming we've developed and accumulated for this launch solidifies and expands our brand across North America. Rural is a way of life, and RURAL RADIO means listeners can tune into it from anywhere at any time," said Randy Bernard, President/CEO, Rural Media Group, Inc.

From the PRCA/Lazy E Arena:
OKLAHOMA CITY – The United Way has set up its temporary control center at the Goodwill Headquarters building in downtown Oklahoma City to assist with the distribution of PRCA merchandise to those affected by the recent tornadoes in Moore, Okla., and the surrounding areas.
Tornado victims will be able to come in and select what they need at no charge.
The PRCA donated 300 boxes of 2012 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo merchandise valued at approximately $30,000 to aid the people of Oklahoma. Assisting in the effort was the PRCA's partners, the Lazy E Arena and Express-Lazy E based in Oklahoma.
"The PRCA is happy to be able to support our rodeo family and friends in Moore, Oklahoma City and all of the nearby areas which were affected by these tragic storms," PRCA Commissioner Karl Stressman said. "Oklahoma City is the site of one of our biggest PRCA events produced by Express-Lazy E – the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo – and we hope this donation will help those in need during this time of rebuilding."

From Colorado State University Equine Science:
The Legends of Ranching Performance Horse Sale promises to be a springtime highlight at Colorado State University in late April, when 81 American Quarter Horses – both promising young horses and proven older horses – will be offered for sale.
The horses come from 24 consignors, including some of the nation's best-known Western horse ranches.
The sale will begin at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, April 27, at the B.W. Pickett Equine Center on the CSU Foothills Campus in Fort Collins, Colo.
The Legends of Ranching Performance Horse Sale is unique: The 2- and 3-year-olds in the sale – a total of 40 horses – have been started by students in the CSU Equine Sciences Program with faculty guidance. The sale caps a trademark educational program that gives students in CSU's renowned Equine Sciences Program the opportunity to train well-bred young horses, taking the animals from barely halter-broken to working calmly under saddle.
Forty-one older, experienced horses also will be offered for sale.
Last spring, the Legends of Ranching Performance Horse Sale generated more than $330,000 in proceeds, according to records. The average sale price for all horses in 2012 was $5,376. The average for young horses trained by CSU students was just over $4,000, according to sale records. And the average price for aged horses was $7,424.
During the 2012 Legends of Ranching sale, two horses tied as high-sellers, bringing $18,500 each: a 3-year-old black mare consigned by Wagonhound Land and Livestock, sired by Wimpys Little Step, and out of Shiney Miss Hickory; and a 4-year-old buckskin gelding consigned by Wood Ranch, sired by BP Smart Little Pep and out of Cal Beauty.
"We're proud of the marketplace position that the Legends of Ranching Performance Horse Sale occupies. Through eight years of hard work, planning and careful execution, this sale continues to build on a reputation of respect, where good horses bring solid prices," said Dr. Jerry Black, D.V.M., director of both the CSU Equine Sciences Program and the CSU Equine Reproduction Laboratory, who also holds the Wagonhound Land and Livestock Chair in Equine Sciences.
"However," Black said, "what really matters with this sale is not what the horses bring, but what the students learn. While everyone may talk about averages and high-sellers, the real value is in the hands-on education."
Students work for nearly a full academic year in horse training laboratories that lead up to sale. They invariably say that they learn as much as their equine charges – and that the experience gives them a newfound respect for horses and the training process.
Equine students not only train about half of the horses auctioned, but also plan and manage most aspects of the sale.
Legends of Ranching reflects the experiential learning provided in the CSU Equine Sciences Program, an approach meant to help prepare students for success in the diverse horse industry. The industry has an economic impact of about $102 billion each year in the U.S. economy, according to the American Horse Council.
"Our consignors are supportive of the educational aspect of this sale. In fact, they are adamant that it be a part of the process," said Gary Carpenter, industry outreach and liaison director. "Those who have stayed with us understand that, although we will do everything we can to sell their horses for top prices, student education comes first."
Auctioneers Jeff Tebow and Justin Holmberg, along with announcer Kevin Meyer, will staff the sale. Proceeds are split among sale costs, consignors and the CSU Equine Sciences Program.
The 2013 Legends of Ranching Performance Horse Sale will be part of a special weekend at Colorado State University.
Starting at 4 p.m. Friday, April 26, the CSU Equine Reproduction Laboratory will celebrate the grand re-opening of its research, teaching and clinical service flagship facility. The facility was destroyed by fire in 2011. The re-opening will include brief remarks, guided tours and refreshments.
"These two events represent the strong continuum of equine programs at CSU," Black said. "We offer the very best undergraduate equine training, the education of graduate students and veterinarians who are critical to the horse industry, research that drives the industry, and, of course, the care of horses through our Veterinary Teaching Hospital and Equine Reproduction Lab. CSU does it all, and we're proud to showcase this work on April 26 and 27."

Mo to Su from 07:00 AM to 10:00 PMThe High Line is an urban oasis filled with beautifully manicured landscapes situated upon the old elevated train tracks that were installed as part of the West Side Improvement Project back in 1929. The elevated train tracks originally ran 13 miles from 34th Street to Spring Street, however the southern end of the tracks were demolished in the 1960s to make room for developers. The line was primarily used to transport goods along the Lower West Side (Meatpacking District), but with the advent of vehicles in the 1950s and more accessible routes on the west side, the last train ran in 1980. Thereafter, the elevated tracks fell into disrepair and the whole structure was nearly demolished. However, all was not lost, as some wise benefactors and brilliant city planners called the Friends of the High Line saved the tracks with the purpose of renovating the entire structure as a public park. Today, in its most recent incarnation, the park stretches from Gansevoort Street to the rail yards at 30th Street.

Carson Fulmer trying to convince skeptics
Duke's Matuella re-establishing top status
Despite the inclement weather, we did have some interesting developments take place of the weekend, including the debut of one of the best prep pitchers in the class, a short outing in the return of a potential top five pick, and two Commodores continuing to state their claim as top 15 candidates in this year's draft.
Short return for Matuella
After missing last week with soreness in his right forearm, Duke's Michael Matuella had his start pushed back to Sunday due to the frigid conditions in Durham.
To continue reading this article you must be an Insider
Notes: Matuella scratched, Tate sparkles
"Thankfully, it's so early [in the season]," an NL East front-office member said. "That said, it doesn't matter if it's May or February or October, you never want to see arm troubles. It's a very talented group, but there are serious durability issues with a large portion of the top arms in the class."
Fortunately, we did see some impressive performances this weekend, including a West Coast right-hander putting up dominant numbers, an American Conference outfielder who might have the best hit tool in the class, and a prospect written off by many who has started the year on the right foot.
Tate sees stock rise
There's still a long way to go, but in these first two weeks, no prospect has seen his stock rise like UC Santa Barbara right-hander Dillon Tate.

Notables from college baseball openers
This weekend we saw a potential top-10 southpaw start off on the right foot, why scouts will be spending lots of time in Nashville this spring, and two of the SEC's best prospects start the year in opposite directions. Here are my notes.
Kirby shines in frigid conditions
Virginia left-hander Nate Kirby is a favorite

Top storylines for 2015 MLB draft
And like every year, there are several intriguing plotlines that scouts and teams will be following over the next three months. These storylines will help shape the class and shape how the draft will play out come June.
Here are five of the most intriguing storylines fans of the MLB draft should be following this spring.
1. Is Brady Aiken the best player in the draft class -- again?
It's sort of an odd question to ask right now, as we aren't 100 percent certain Aiken will even be eligible for the 2015 draft. Signs point to yes, however, and assuming he shows the same type of stuff and command he did last spring, he's a borderline prohibitive favorite to be the top player in this year's class.
"I don't know how you don't have him at No. 1, especially in a fairly weak draft class," one AL scout said.

Top 30 prospects for the 2015 draft
It's very early for this sort of exercise, but Christopher Crawford and I have put together a ranking of the top 30 prospects in the 2015 class. It's not a projection of where they'll be picked, mind you, but an attempt to put some of the names in a logical order based on present talent and long-term outlook.

Scouting the Under Armour All-Americans
• Allen, Texas, infielder Kyler Murray was the star of the game, in part because of how he got there; his flight from Texas was delayed and he was coming in late to begin with because of his football commitments, so he arrived at Wrigley Field after the first pitch.
To continue reading this article you must be an Insider
Scouting a pair of all-star games
- Lefty Kolby Allard of San Clemente (California) High School was the breakout star of this year's Perfect Game All-American Classic, played once again at Petco Park in San Diego. The game was dominated by pitching, but nobody was as impressive as Allard, who punched out all three batters he faced on just 12 pitches, and showed a plus fastball and curveball along the way. The heater sat at 92-95 with easy velocity, while the curveball was 78-79, sharp with depth and tight rotation.
- Left-hander Justin Hooper started for the West team and showed premium stuff, too, tossing darts at 93-96 with some life, and a changeup at 83 that was absurd. He couldn't finish his curveball at 73-74, however, and he might end up better suited to a slider if his current breaker continues to pose problems. His delivery is funky, which provides deception but may not be as easy to repeat 100-plus times a game.

Five teams with new No. 1 prospects
The 2014 Rule 4 Draft is over, which means every club just got an influx of top talent into its farm system. Assuming all these top picks sign, here are five teams who just acquired a new No. 1 prospect as well as notes on two other teams' first overall picks and where they might slot into the prospect rankings of each organization.
Chicago White Sox: Carlos Rodon, LHP
The White Sox's top two prospects coming into 2014, Erik Johnson and Matt Davidson, have disappointed thus far.

Complete NL draft breakdown
Note: We often use the 20-80 scouting scale when discussing prospects.
I liked the D-backs' draft from the get-go. At 16, they took high-upside right-hander Touki Toussaint (Round 1), an athletic, loose-armed prep pitcher who will show a plus fastball and curveball, but this spring showed better command and a new changeup. Cody Reed (Round 2) could be a steal if the Snakes can keep his weight down.

Complete AL draft breakdown
Here are my team recaps of the drafts so far, through 10 rounds, for all 15 American League teams. I'll have a similar piece up on Monday for the National League.
Note: We use the 20-80 grading scale for all MLB prospects.
The Orioles didn't pick at all on Day 1; their first selection was Brian Gonzalez at 91st overall (Round 3), a lefty from Florida's Archbishop McCarthy High School, at which his pitching coach was former big leaguer Alex Fernandez. Gonzalez is very interesting for a third-rounder, built like a big league starter already and showing three pitches. His velocity is mostly in the 89-93 mph range, and he has a plus changeup in the upper 70s that he just needs to hide a little more out of his hand. Fernandez's curveball is developing but has good shape, and his command is solid for his age.

MLB draft: Best and worst of Day 2
Day 2 of the MLB draft has come and gone. It's not a day that gets a lot of respect, but scouts will tell you that this is a day that can either make or break an organization. That might seem hyperbolic, but that's how important the draft can be to the success -- or lack thereof -- of a MLB team.
Here's a look at the best and most questionable selections of Day 2 of the 2014 MLB draft. We'll break it down by division.
AL East
Highest upside: Austin DeCarr, RHP, Salisbury (Connecticut) School
New York Yankees (Round 3)
His stock shot up over the past few weeks after touching 96 mph with his fastball, but he was always on scouts' radars because of his ability to throw strikes with all three pitches, the best of which is a curveball that's a plus offering right now.

MLB Draft: Day 1 winners and questions
The new slotting system in baseball has made Day 1 analysis more difficult, as many teams approach the draft with a more holistic, top-down approach designed to spread money around to specific picks. With that in mind, here are some preliminary thoughts on eight teams' Day 1 selections: four I really liked, four I didn't really get. You can also find my list of the 10 best players available at the bottom.
I'll have team-by-team reports after Day 2, with AL reports on Saturday and NL reports on Monday.
The approved list: Four teams I thought got good value
The Cleveland Indians had my favorite Day 1 batch of picks, landing four players I had in the top 50.

Round 2 highlights and lowlights
Day 1 of the MLB draft is behind us, and while most of the attention will go toward the first round, there were plenty of interesting picks that made the second round just as intriguing as those first 34 selections.
Here's a look at the highlights -- and possible lowlights -- of the picks made after the first round of the 2014 MLB draft.
AL EastHighest upside: Sean Reid-Foley, RHP, Sandalwood High School (Jacksonville, Florida) -- Reid-Foley was an arm I thought would go in the first 20 to 25 picks, but for whatever reason, his stock fell over the past few days. The Toronto Blue Jays should feel fortunate to pick up a right-hander with this kind of talent this late, though, as he has two plus pitches in his 90-94 mph fastball and quality slider.

|Linear Dispersive Decay Estimates for the 3+1 Dimensional Water Wave Equation with Surface Tension
We consider the linearization of the three-dimensional water waves equation with surface tension about a flat interface. Using oscillatory integral methods, we prove that solutions of this equation demonstrate dispersive decay at the somewhat surprising rate of $t^{-5/6}$. This rate is due to competition between surface tension and gravitation at $O(1)$ wave numbers and is connected to the fact that, in the presence of surface tension, there is a so-called "slowest wave". Additionally, we combine our dispersive estimates with $L^2$ type energy bounds to prove a family of Strichartz estimates.

Tyler , TX (Fox 51) — After sitting out of the spotlight since leaving public office, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is set to attend several events which will put her alongside presidents, possible White House contenders and other major political players.
The first of several significant public events comes Tuesday, when Clinton attends a Washington awards ceremony that will also be attended by Vice President Joe Biden.
Both sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 and are considered possible 2016 players.
The potential for rubbing shoulders will reach a high point on April 25, when Clinton will appear in Dallas at the dedication ceremony for former President George W. Bush's presidential center.
A spokesman for Clinton confirmed her attendance plans to CNN.
Each of the living former presidents, including her husband, Bill Clinton, are expected to attend.
President Barack Obama also was invited, the center said.
The day before, Clinton will deliver a paid speech in Dallas, the first such address to be announced since she stepped down in February.
Another potential 2016 White House contender, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, will be in town for an event on immigration, his book as well as his brother's ceremony.

What does soon mean? We are half way through the 2012 season.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate this website and I've been patient, but there not having an Android app is bad and the iPhone app has it's share of problems.
The question I think most of us have is when exactly will the "mobile enhancements" be available? By next week? By the last week of the year? By next year? What should be plan on?

Now we just have to wait and see if it actually happens.
Again, no disrespect, but the league managers need to make decisions about what we're going to use for the 2013 season which is quickly coming upon us.

An 8-inch snake as slender as a pen grounded a Qantas flight from Australia to Japan overnight, stranding hundreds of passengers, AFP reported.
The tiny, non-venomous reptile was found near the doorway of the Boeing 747 bound for Tokyo.
The plane had been on the tarmac most of the day Sunday after completing a flight from Singapore, although officials aren't sure if that's where the snake came from, AFP reported.
All 370 passengers were booked into hotels and placed on another flight Monday morning.
Earlier this year, a 9-foot-long python was discovered on a Qantas flight from the tropical Australian city of Cairns to Papua New Guinea's Port Moresby.

Rated 1 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Louie It arrived and the battery was dead or the watch not working First, I liked the watch. It is attractive, gives the appearance of a more expensive watch, has a nice heft to it, the clasp seems well made. HOWEVER, when it arrived the battery was dead or the watch was not working. I thought that I may have misread the short, terse, and rather useless instructions--so I checked on the web. Other people have complained about this problem with Perry Ellis watches on other websites. The options appear to be return it or send it under the warranty, paying postage both ways to get it repaired, but warranty does not cover batteries. I am debating what I want to do...I will most likely try to have the battery changed at a local store and see if that works-but that would void the warranty. September 20, 2013
