Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Engineering Collection
Image: Rotative beam engine model
Source: Museum Victoria
Engineering impacts upon everyday life in modern society. It provides the basis for the technology used to provide our transport, power, water supply, sewerage and other services, to construct our buildings and public infrastructure, and to provide much of the food and consumer goods we use throughout our lives.
From the 1850s gold rush, Victoria developed a strong engineering industry, manufacturing much of the machinery, goods and transport equipment required by a rapidly developing society. As the state's population has grown, so has the contribution of engineering in developing and maintaining our public infrastructure.
The aim of the Museum's Engineering collection is to document past achievements in Victorian engineering and the impact they have had on everyday life, and to reflect current and future engineering trends within Victoria.
The collection has a strong focus on documenting the changing role of mechanical technology in industry; and the role of invention and innovation in maintaining a vibrant and global competitive engineering and manufacturing industry that is relevant to the needs and aspiration of contemporary Victorians.
Since the early 1980s the collection has focused more closely on engineering within the Victorian context documenting stories of local engineering designs, products and innovations and the local application of technologies developed overseas.

Journal Sentinel book editor Jim Higgins highlights things worth reading, in print and online
Author visits: Getting cozy with Rita Mae Brown
If you know your pets talk about you behind your back, and wittily so...
If you think a walk isn't really a walk unless a horse is involved...
If you believe a mystery isn't really cozy unless more than one species of animal companion is involved...
Then you might already be a Rita Mae Brown fan.
If you aren't already, but you subscribe to any of those tenets, then you might want to meet Brown when she talks about and signs her books in a ticketed event 7 p.m. April 15 at Next Chapter Bookshop, 10976 N. Port Washington Rd., Mequon. Tickets are $28; that prices admission for up to 2 people and 1 signed hardcover copy of "Hiss of Death." Call (262) 241-6220 or visit www.nextchapterbookshop.com.
"Hiss of Death" (Bantam, $26) is the 19th book in Brown's Mrs. Murphy series, named after a "sleek tiger cat" who shares protagonist honors with her human, Mary Minor (Harry) Haristeen. Set in country Crozet, Va., in this series the women tend to be kind, strong and sometimes outspoken, while the animals are all above average and sometimes opinionated, too.
Brown lists her cat Sneaky Pie as co-author of the mysteries. Like any of these famous duos, history will have to sort out who did the heavy lifting here.
In "Hiss of Death," Harry and her critters become involved in the unexpected death of a perfectly healthy nurse, while Harry has a big health scare of her own. While this is dubbed a Mrs. Murphy mystery, the gray cat Pewter gets some of the best lines and 'tude.
Brown, 66, first became prominent for her 1973 coming-of-age novel, "Rubyfruit Jungle," and for her activism as a feminist and lesbian. She's a strong animal rescue advocate and a dedicated foxhunter. In America, she pointed out in a Time magazine interview, "you just hunt to chase."

Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 1/8/13
Growing up in San Antonio, I have been more-or-less conditioned into being a Cowboys fan. It wasn't something I chose per say, it was something that was bestowed upon me. As great as that has been at times, recently I have found myself in situations like the one I faced the other day when a friend asked:"Why are you a Cowboys fan? The Texans are better and Houston is closer to San Antonio than Dallas is. The Cowboys can't even make the playoffs."It wasn't the first time I've been asked this, and I'm sure it won't be the last, but as the salt dissolved into the fresh and gaping wound that was Tony Romo's 4th quarter interception against the Redskins in week 17, I decided to take a stand. I looked the man right in the eyes and I told him…"I'm going to write an article about this."And I did write it. This is it. My attempt to defend my stance as a Cowboys fan. A desperate overture to those of you who may, like myself, be staring longingly over the fence that separates the barren wastela

Dear All,
I realize we are going to be having a wrap up call but I feel that I want to say more then I probably will be allowed (time-wise) on the call.
It has been an honor to be part of World Pulse, and especially to be a VOF correspondent. I have learned so much, more then I expected to learn when I first started the program. WP is a great place to find support, encouragement, and understanding. Even if the people around me do not quite understand what I am doing, at least you all do.
I am so impressed with how organized the whole VOF program is. It is incredible!! The modules are so detailed, and the extra links inside each module were so helpful. And I can never forget Rachael and Scott............you guys never let an email go unanswered, or failed to encourage.
Having the support and the encouragement of my editorial midwife and mentor has been so great. I felt that there were / are these two ladies who really, really care about me..........it was not just a job for them.........they truly care.
My editorial midwife, Rosemary, has been so good to me. She has guided me in the right direction, stayed up late or woke early to read my assignments or talk on Skype before I would submit them. We had many laughs about our pets and kids who always seemed to act up just as we would begin to talk.
I spoke to my mentor, Pat, about an idea that has been floating in my head for over a year, and she gave me the encouragement to go forward with it. She told me to take tiny steps first, and she was so right. I keep her wise words in my mind. My Israeli friend and I are going to start making stuffed toys, pillows, and other kinds of gifts for sick children who come to Israeli hospitals from Palestine / Gaza for treatment. Many of them come for long periods of time, and come with practically nothing and knowing no one. We hope that our small gifts will make them feel a bit better, and let them realize that someone cares. What we eventually want to do is to get more women - Arab and Israeli - to join us in this and / or other things, and do something for the good of kids from both sides. Thanks to Pat, I didn't let go of this idea.
I finally broke down and opened a Facebook account, and also a Twitter account. And I am going to start a blog about Palestine ........the heritage, culture, the villages, etc.
One of the biggest challenges for me was making my video, but at least I now know how to go about making one.
My challenges.............
*** I could not transfer the first interview into my camera. *** The second interview did not work out because a family member of the lady that I was going to interview died that day. *** The third interview did not work out because the husband of the lady I was going to interview went to the emergency room the morning of the interview (and I drove 40 minutes to get to her!) *** The fourth interview did not work out with my mother-in-law because she went to the hospital that morning (and is still there
My family now considers me a witch, and are telling me to stay away from them !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another bit of good news is that I am going to write for Cristi from Global Press Institute.
I just want to express my gratitude to all of you who have been by my side these past months. It has been a great journey, and I am so happy to have shared it with you all.
Much love, Noreen
So, now you are a witch? great! A good mom,a good mother, a good wife and a good writer and consider this now as a new feather in your cap. You are a combo of the charming Ms Weasley and the brillian tor Prof Mcgonagall!!! and I love you!
Reading this post, I felt many of the thoughts were mine as well - maybe that's the common bond. I am so happy you came on Facebook and I am gonna find you on Twitter now.
Finally, we the 2012 VoF club seem to have done an 'Occupy GPI' job, eh? Lovely, isn't it, that we will continue to work together?
Much love
Stella Paul Twitter: @stellasglobe
Thanks Stella! You know, you could have interviewed me for your witch story!!! As my editor, Rosemary, was telling me to take a deep breath and be calm when the second interview didn't work out, I was laughing to myself because these things are so typical of what happens with me!! But a witch? As you can see, I am surrounded by kind people!!! Yes, it's nice that we will be at GPI together, along with Nasreen. I'm real pleased about that. I will look for you on Twitter too.
Love, Noreen
Dearest Noreen
It has been such an honour and pleasure to work with you over the last 5 months and somehow I feel as though we've always known each other. I have also learned so much from you my friend. Your energy, your committment, your courage and your incredible talent are a constant source of inspiration for me and I'm really looking forward to meeting you in 'real' life sometime soon. I agree with you that it has been such an honour to be part of World Pulse and this amazing programme. Rachael and Scott are running a tight ship and how they manage to do what they do with such warmth and efficiency is beyond awesome! It was also lovely to work with Pat, your mentor, and I would say if the three of us ever managed to get together in real life it would be some party. I'm also thrilled but not in the least bit surprised that you are going to be writing for Cristi at the Global Press Institute! I would feel sad that the programme is now ending except that I know we will keep in touch and that my trip to Palestine to meet you will happen someday...hopefully in the near future...and of course your trip to Ireland. You will always be welcome in my home. Much love Rosemary
Dearest Noreen
I watched the video and would like to congratulate you on portraying a dreadful history through the eyes of women who have such a clear view of life, without anger, for the suffering which results each day from the occupation. Your objectivity of reporting is exemplary. No wonder Cristi of the Global Press Institute has asked you to write for them! Wow! Congratulations, Noreen.
And if you are a witch, then, you are a good witch and I wish you a smooth journey into your continued witchery! Actually, I've had so many problems with this video thing as well. Each time my computer lost my work and died on me, I had to start over again. And you know what? The final time was the right time for it all comes together in the end with the imprint of the failures to make it a completely new whole, doesn't it.
I do think that perhaps a bit more history in the text for uTube might be a good idea, adding some of the very startling historical facts which you mention in your journal. Those facts will give viewers a broad picture of where the two women speak from. You movie can't be faulted. Contragulations!
Love and hugs and I'm proud to be part of your Witcherie! Love and hugs from Monica in France
Monica Clarke, Writer & Storyteller, bringing human rights alive. I wish you 'Nangamso', that is: May you continue to do the good work which you do so well. (A blessing from my ancestors, the Khoikhoi, the first people of South Africa).
Thanks so much Monica! You are very sweet! And thanks for watching my video. I took your suggestion and added the written information to supplement it. The final version of something is usually better because you have some time to reflect as you put it together. I realized that it was just like putting together an article with a word limit. You have to decide what is important and what is not. In spite of the frustrations, it was fun!. I have not yet watched the videos but I will in the next couple of days.
Glad you are part of my witcherie too!!!
Love, Noreen

A full moon climbed into a darkening summer sky east of Milwaukee.
A light breeze offered relief from the heat and propelled dozens of sailboats across the watery horizon.
Just below the shoreline bluff, several hundred people gathered on blankets and folding chairs for an open-air concert.
The early August evening was right out of a Chamber of Commerce catalog. Almost.
The piers and other shoreline fishing spots were nearly vacant.
Areas that once held shoulder-to-shoulder crowds of anglers had just a straggle of pedestrians and joggers.
Fishing participation in Wisconsin is relatively healthy and stable, with annual license sales of about 1.4 million.
But one important category - the Lake Michigan yellow perch angler - is in serious decline.
The reason for the drop appears as clear as the lake's water on this tranquil evening: As invasive species have altered the Lake Michigan food web, the population of perch has plummeted.
With fewer perch and restrictive regulations to protect the remaining population, anglers have either stopped fishing or are pursuing other species.
"The perch are the fish of the people," Ron Anton, longtime Wisconsin Conservation Congress delegate from Racine, once said. "We've got to do what we can to help them."
Anton's words, spoken at a 1994 Natural Resources Board meeting in support of proposed regulations to reduce perch limits, have special resonance today.
While Wisconsin can point to many notable conservation efforts, none has surfaced to help the Lake Michigan perch, one of state's most valuable species.
Anglers from Kenosha to Sheboygan flocked to Lake Michigan piers to fish for perch in the mid-20th century.
The abundant fish was prized for sport and food.
"The recreational value of the yellow perch cannot be reduced to figures," wrote George Becker in his seminal book "Fishes of Wisconsin."
Becker notes, too, that the perch "has long had a reputation as the finest eating of Wisconsin's freshwater fishes."
The perch was a critical commercial resource, too, for the communities along Lake Michigan. The commercial production of perch averaged 2.4 million pounds a year from 1889 (when records began) to 1970, according to Becker.
As the population dropped, the state prohibited commercial fishing for perch beginning in 1996. Only in the waters of Green Bay are commercial fishermen able to target perch.
Perch have suffered from too many years of extremely poor recruitment, or survival of young fish, since the early 1990s.
Though comprehensive research on the cause of the perch decline is lacking, most biologists implicate the drastic changes in the lake's food web brought on by invasive zebra and quagga mussels. Once larval perch absorb their yolk sac, they don't seem to find enough food to survive.
There is an abundance of data, however, to detail the fish's decline.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources conducts annual spawning, young-of-the-year and graded mesh assessments.
In December 2011, DNR crews caught just 300 perch in the department's annual graded mesh assessment off Milwaukee.
It was common to catch many thousands of fish in assessments in the 1980s and '90s.
The recent results are alarming not only because of the low catch but because of the population's old age structure.
Nearly half of perch caught (48.6%) were from the 2005 year-class (7 years old), followed by the 2003 (10%) and 2006 (9%) year-classes.
Very few younger yellow perch (ages 2 and 3) were present in the sample. Female perch dominated the catch, comprising 77%.
A normal, healthy population with good recruitment would be dominated by fish in younger age classes.
The Lake Michigan (excluding Green Bay) perch harvest in 2011 was 16,982 fish, the lowest since 2000 and 66% below the 10-year average.
To give some perspective, in 1988 anglers landed 869,164 perch in Lake Michigan, including 408,438 perch in Milwaukee County waters alone.
In 1988, shore anglers in Milwaukee County landed 159,676 perch, 10 times as many caught by all means in Lake Michigan last year.
So it's clear there are fewer perch in the lake and fewer being caught by anglers.
In an era in which Americans lead increasingly sedentary lives and suffer from poor diets, the perch seems particularly important.
Not only could an improved perch fishery draw more Wisconsinites outdoors, the fish could provide a local source of high-protein, nutritious meals.
"To be honest, I like perch more than salmon," said Pao Khang, 43, of Milwaukee.
Khang had brought his two sons and three nephews to fish on Milwaukee's McKinley Marina. Due to the lack of perch, he rigged up rods for non-native trout and salmon.
August is traditionally the leading month for perch fishing in Lake Michigan, according to DNR creel surveys. But on this August night, the Khangs were the only anglers on the half-mile-long pier.
Is there any hope for Lake Michigan perch?
The species' decline caused serious concern and prompted lakewide conferences in the 1990s. These days, however, scientists and fisheries managers appear resigned to the new reality of a smaller perch population.
There have been several pleas by anglers for state agencies or the federal government to stock Lake Michigan with perch.
Some researchers have pointed to the low number of breeding stock as a critical impediment to a perch recovery in the lake.
But while many millions of dollars are spent annually by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in stocking and rehabilitation efforts for another native Lake Michigan sport fish - the lake trout - the perch has been left to fend for itself.
The DNR conducted limited perch stocking in Lake Michigan in the 1970s and 80s but has deemed the effort too expensive in recent years. The agency has concerns, too, about VHS fish disease and diluting the genetic stock of the wild fish.
Anglers have supported a reduction in stocking of Lake Michigan trout and salmon to help establish a better balance between predator and forage fish. A roughly 50% reduction is likely to be enacted in 2013.
"Use the hatchery space to raise perch," Khang said, watching his lines. "Even a few more could keep my kids interested in fishing."
Lake Michigan fisheries managers face an unenviable situation as they struggle to keep up with changes in the big lake.
And it's not possible to restore the lake to its condition before the invasion of non-native species.
But wouldn't it be a great story if, whether through working with schools, conservation clubs or other organizations, state or federal agencies could initiate a program to benefit Lake Michigan perch?
A perch aquaculture program could have commercial, educational and recreational value.
Or perhaps an innovative habitat project could help the fish.
As Milwaukee strives to be a world leader in water technology and freshwater science, wouldn't a local university or corporation love to assist in the comeback of a precious native species?
The perch decline has been well-documented. It's about time for some creative, positive thinking to assist its return.

I want to practise Physical Therapy in
Physical Therapy Internships
The experiences you will have on your international clinical internship are likely to be very different from anything you are used to in your domestic hospitals and clinics. In many of our destinations the facilities are greatly under-resourced and patients regularly present with critically advanced diseases and pathologies. It's therefore no exaggeration to say that you may find yourself working with equipment & materials - and in conditions - which really test your skills, your abilities and your emotions.
You will likely find that notions of rehabilitation receive less prominence than they do back home. In addition to this you are likely to see conditions that you are simply not used treating, such as leprosy, and vastly increased numbers of other cases, such as burns, which seem to occur far more regularly in developing countries.
Your placement
Physical therapists tend to have more of a general role in the countries in which we operate, so you will often find your workload spread across a number of areas, rather than a specialised area or department.
A typical day could see you working with elderly stroke victims, children with cerebral palsy and people of all ages coping with the effects of polio. There are also opportunities for kinesiology students and those who wish to specialise in sports exercise or sports therapy. Please check our individual destination pages to learn more about exactly what is available within each of our destination countries.
All our physical therapy internship students are allocated a senior member of the physical therapy team as a supervisor/preceptor. They will act as their main point of contact whilst on the placement. We ensure that this individual fully understands what you expect from your elective and, in turn, what they can expect from you.
Please follow the links on the top right hand side of this page to an overview of the internship opportunities in each of our destinations.Requirements to join us
Benefits of the program
Our international physical therapy internships for undergraduates are designed to broaden a student's training and provide firsthand exposure to global health issues. The challenges and rewards of working with doctors and nursing teams in a developing country will strengthen both your personal and professional development.
Physical therapy students find that they have opportunities to be involved in their department quickly, becoming part of an active team and they are able to amass a large number of clinical hours in a short-term placement.
Though the cost of a Work the World physical therapy placement may be similar to the cost of an independently arranged placement, our program minimizes or removes nearly all the risks involved.
You will receive support and guidance on all elements of your trip preparation, through a personalised online trip planner as well as regular contact with our Head Office staff.Frequently asked questions
Broaden your Experience
We have developed a range of additional programs to complement and greatly enrich your placement experiences. Many former students have found them to be the highlight of their placement time.
The Village Healthcare Experience offers the rare chance to live in a remote village in Nepal, the Philippines, Ghana or Tanzania. Working from a local clinic, you'll assist in the treatment of patients living in very basic environments with little or no access to western medicine. You'll live with a local family, take part in village activities and learn how local healers administer traditional healing methods.
The Ayurvedic Medicine Experience provides the exceptional opportunity to intern with a much-respected Ayurvedic doctor. Students live in an lodge and work at an Ayurveda hospital, based in a traditional rural Sri Lankan village.
In addition there is often the opportunity to be involved in volunteer work in your free time. For example, many students spend their afternoond volunteering at local orphanages.Read more about these optional extras

Stansted Wars: Episode VI – Return of O'Leary
By Alex Thomas on 28 July, 2011 in Uncategorised
A press release from Ryanair inviting journalists to hear about "future legal actions by Ryanair" on 27 July in London turned out to be about the legal challenge by the airline against perceived overcharging by BAA at Stansted Airport.
Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary played to the crowd, mixing ebullient charm with carefully aimed snipes at both the BAA and CAA, and CAA regulator Dr Harry Bush in particular.
Other legal actions the airline is currently involved in were not mentioned though, such as the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal's hearing over whether the UK Office of Fair Trading was "out of time" when it attempted in Sept' 10 to open an investigation into Ryanair's 2006 acquisition of a minority, non-controlling stake in Aer Lingus.
However judging by Ryanair's use of an image of the Darth Vader villain from Star Wars in its description of BAA and George Lucas' past form in turning to the courts to protect his franchise's US copyright, perhaps Ryanair's lawyers could soon be forced to unsheathe their light sabres against a new enemy?

Antoinette Ena Johnson
Rochester, NY
Academic Interests
- Major: English
- Minors: Journalism and history
- Cluster: Developing world systems
Extracurricular Activities
- St. Anthony Hall, Delta Psi
- OMSA, staff writer
- Campus Times, staff writer
I am the only Rochester student that has been printed in three different publications on campus and is a member of a secret society.
What is your favorite University of Rochester tradition? Why?
My favorite University of Rochester tradition is Dandelion Day because it is the biggest and last celebration before finals and students are able to relax and have fun after the last day of class.
What is your most meaningful extracurricular activity? Why?
Writing for the Campus Times has been the most meaningful extracurricular activity on campus because it has given me the tools to properly write articles for a public audience and gave me the confidence to explore the wider world of publishing and investigative reporting.
What is your favorite University of Rochester memory?
My favorite Rochester memory is with me and my freshman roommate, Seromie.
What is your favorite thing about the city of Rochester?
I am in head over heel in love with lilacs and Rochester dedicates an entire weeklong festival to the flower, not only is there an avenue covered in the fragrant blossom. It is during the height of spring and the air is heavy with the scent, its my favorite part about Rochester.
Why did you choose the University of Rochester?
I chose Rochester because I am from the city and knew of its reputation in the medical world (once upon a pre-med time) as well as the academic architecture that requires that reminds you to focus on your work and enjoy college life.
Why is University of Rochester a good fit for you?
Rochester is a good fit for me because it has opened many doors for me in the way of writing and networking, and it has the perfect number of students so that I know most people, yet I still meet new people every day.
What is your dream job after graduating from the University of Rochester?
My dream job would be to work for CNN, Aljazeera, or The New York Times as a full-time news writer, they would send me to different areas of the globe and I would to speak to influential people to write articles that the world would read daily.
If you could meet one celebrity on a tour, who would it be?
I would love to give Kevin Hart a tour of UR because I think he would hilarious and he would laugh at all my jokes (or me) and I think if he asked questions they would be so ridiculous that the answers could only be more entertaining to the group.
What is your favorite part of the UR campus to show on a tour?
Wilson Commons is my favorite part of the tour because there all the facets of the campus community come together in one building and Hirst Lounge is the perfect balance of sunlight and flags.
What's been your favorite class? Why?
When I was a freshman I took Contact Improvisation, a dance class, where I got to dance improv, learn how to improv dance with another person, touching for the entire time. During some classes we would lie on the floor going through breathing exercises and if we fell asleep, she wouldn't wake us and would say, "your body must have needed it."
How would you describe the "typical Rochester student?"
Cool nerds.

Arizona Coyotes
Coyotes lose Smith, contest as Rangers rally in OT: By The Numbers
There are deflating losses, and then there's the one the Phoenix Coyotes suffered at Madison Square Garden Monday night.
The Coyotes built an early 2-0 lead on the New York Rangers behind goals from Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Jeff Halpern, only to see it vanish by the midway point of the second period.
While Kyle Chipchura would lift Phoenix's collective spirit with a rather fortuitous goal before the end of the second, the fun times would end there.
With 7:34 remaining in the third period, Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith stopped Mats Zuccarello wrister from the point, however Rangers center Derick Brassard proceeded to land awkwardly on Smith's right leg in the crease.
Smith laid flat on the ice writhing in pain for several minutes, before being helped off the ice by Shane Doan and others.
Back-up Thomas Greiss did his best to hold the lead, but the Rangers had no issue peppering the net with shots for the remainder of the contest.
Dan Girardi redirected a shot from the point past Greiss with 3:26 left to go, and Ryan McDonagh finished off an easy rebound in the extra session as the Rangers came back for a 4-3 victory.
Here's a look back at the heartbreaking loss by the numbers:
Phoenix has now held a two-goal lead in five of its last seven games. Of those five games, it has a 4-1-0 record.
While Chipchura's go-ahead goal in the second was more of a pass than anything else that somehow deflected off of Chris Kreider's stick and past Henrik Lunqvist, it was a goal nonetheless -- his third of the campaign. The goal also gave Chipchura his third multi-point performance of 2013-14, as he had an assist on Halpern's first period tally.
Before his unfortunate collision with Brassard, Smith recorded his third assist of the season -- tying him with Lunqvist and Kari Lehtonen for most points by a goalie with four.
Halpern's goal to push the lead to two came off a beautiful feed from Chipchura. For Halpern, it was his fifth tally of the season and 10th in his career against the Rangers.
Ekman-Larsson's power play goal in the first was his 13th of the season -- tying his career-high set back in 2011-12.
Ekman-Larsson's goal didn't just tie his career-high. It also gave him 40 points for the season. OEL and Keith Yandle are one of only three defensive pairings to each have 40 points in 2013-14, joining Montreal's PK Subban and Andrei Markov and St. Louis' Alex Pientrangelo and Kevin Shattenkirk.
Even in a losing effort, the Coyotes managed to pick up one point by getting the game to overtime. With 80 points, Phoenix still finishes the night in eighth place in the Western Conference.
The world's most famous arena has not treated the Coyotes' too kindly of late. With Monday's 4-3 loss, Phoenix hasn't won at Madison Square Garden since Dec. 16, 2007.

Camperbezitters die in Denemarken gebruik maken van de veerdiensten van rederij Færgen zijn voortaan goedkoper uit. De genoemde rederij, die een groot aantal belangrijke veerdiensten onderhoudt, heeft een andere definitie voor campers opgesteld. Deze houdt in dat voor campers die meer dan 3.500 kg wegen niet meer dezelfde prijs betaald hoeft te worden als voor een bus of vrachtwagen. Hierdoor wordt het voor een flink aantal camperbezitters goedkoper om overtochten in Denemarken te maken.

Yes, mobile phone companies charge fees that seem kind of arbitrary, but Dan and his wife were under the impression that customer service representatives weren't left to just make up the reasons why. Then they dealt with Verizon, which claimed that the $30 upgrade fee they were going to charge his wife to upgrade to an iPhone 5 not only couldn't be waived as usual, but that the fee was to cover a sort of "how to use your new phone" class for iPhone users and in-store kiosk repair. Perhaps, in a global sense, this is why the company needs the $30, but the explanation sounded wacky to Dan and Mrs. Dan. They tried to find someone reasonable higher up the corporate food chain, but there was no such reasonable person. [More]

Spirit Hikes Fees To A Max Of $100 For Passengers Paying To Bring Carry-On Bags
First of all, let's get this straight — fee-happy carrier Spirit Airlines isn't going to be charging every passenger $100 for a carry-on bag, although that would honestly not surprise us. But if you're a passenger meeting certain conditions, you could end up paying a maximum of $100 just to bring that roller bag aboard if you're not careful how you go about it. [More]

FDIC: There Is No Such Thing As An "FDIC Fee" To Bank Customers

Do We Still Need Fee-Disclosure Placards On ATMs?
Back in 1999, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act began requiring that ATMs provide two separate disclosures of associated fees — one on the ATM screen before the transaction is confirmed and a second placard placed in a conspicuous location on the ATM itself. Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed an amendment to the EFTA that would eliminate the placard requirement. [More]
Which Airlines Pile On The Most Fees? Compare And Learn

Can I Survive The Wells Fargo Takeover Of Wachovia With My Account Terms Intact?
Keith has had the same bank account for eight years, but during that time "his" bank has been four different banks thanks to mergers. Ameribank became First Union, which became Wachovia, which in turn was gobbled by Wells Fargo. That's just how the history of American banking has worked: what's the big deal? For the first time in all of these mergers, additional fees will be imposed on Keith's account. He wants to keep things the way they've been for the last eight years, and Wells Fargo wants to move on. Well, it wants to move on to taking more money out of Keith's wallet. [More]

Spirit Adds $2 "Dept. Of Transportation Unintended Consequences Fee"
Fresh off fighting laws that require truth in advertising, Spirit Airlines, which hilariously dubbed itself the "most consumer-friendly airline," is now taking a stand against another government regulation — one that requires airlines to allow passengers to change flights within 24 hours of booking without paying a penalty — by adding two dollars to everyone's ticket.

While Bank of America's now-abandoned plan to charge debit card users $5 a month has received a halogen spotlight recently, far less attention has been paid to how it collects fees off the unemployed.

Among the number of economically disastrous policy
prescriptions offered by President Obama during his State of the Union address,
a hiking of the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour was one of the saddest. For a President who
believes you can spend your way out of debt, the proposal wasn't surprising. But
now many in Congress are reportedly ready to back the measure. If enacted, the minimum wage hike will only make the economy worse.
No serious thinker in the 21st century believes a higher minimum wage will help low-skilled workers. In fact, it will have the
opposite effect. Wages are not determined by employers- they are paid by much
each worker produces.
The freedom to choose means the freedom to accept wages
offered. By hiking the minimum wage, all Congress will do is outlaw employing
those who
will work for less than $9 an hour. For young
aspiring workers with little experience, this is a senseless policy.
Contact your representative in Congress and tell them to oppose any hike of the minimum wage now.
Hiking the Minimum Wage is Poor Policy!
Dear [Decision Maker],
During President Obama's State of the Union address, he asked Congress to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $9.00 an hour. At first, I thought nobody in Congress would actually endorse such an economically disastrous law. But now it appears that some lawmakers may join with the President in supporting this measure. I find this highly concerning.Instead of helping young, low-skilled workers, you will be committing them to life of perpetual unemployment by raising the minimum wage. The minimum serves as a barrier outlawing productive labor below a price threshold. This makes it more difficult for a prospective worker to find a job.Please do not be enticed by the fantasy that governments can create prosperity by writing laws. Let workers and employers be free to choose their own wages. The job market for young workers is already bad enough; don't make it worse by raising the minimum wage.
Sincerely,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP]
