I have not written about Second Life lately. I am still in world just not blogging it so much. The other night by accident I discovered Aussie artist Ritchey Sealy who also has a gallery in world.
After checking out his profile I learned from his blog that Ritchey Sealy lives in Broulee on the south coast of NSW, has won a number of awards and his work is held by the Queensland State Gallery.

PowerSet is a new search tool that uses the semantics of natural language, in other words it is a search based on semantics. In order to demonstrate the concept and highlight the service currently a search can be applied only to Wikipedia articles.
My few experiments resulted in finding relevant information in the right context. You can use search terms, ask a question or type in part of a sentence and offers some elegant options. (There is also a video demo and a PowerSet Blog ) I guess it is one more step forward for the Semantic web because if search takes this type of turn clear content organization is going to be very important.

Comments Off on Handy lists of handy resources
The publications of lists are a bit of fad online at the moment but there is something about a list that makes you fee in control. Even if you never work your way through all of it! So here are a couple of lists that have caught my eye lately
As we are constantly told web users have short attention spans so speed and performance can make or break a website. The Webmaster's Turbo Kit is a collection tips to speed up your website. Advice on images, CSS and html is listed but I found the references section of the article to be of most use.
Another useful list from Inside CRM is 101 Five-Minute Fixes to Incrementally Improve Your Web Site.
Here are 100 Web Accessibilty Resources to use to make your website or blog more accessible. This compilation of tools, tips and tutorials has to be the best collection of resources on this topic I have seen online. I just have to work through them all myself!

Katherine Heigl: Hoping to Adopt Again!
Katherine Heigl is hoping to adopt another child!
The 31-year-old actress, who adopted daughter Naleigh with husband Josh Kelley last November, told People that it's difficult for her to be a working mother.
"Like any working mom, I have to make some compromises, but it is so much easier said than done," Katherine shared. "I knew that I wanted to keep working, because I love what I do. But it was really hard to leave her and go to work so far away."

And Republicans don't even have that ugly option to offer anymore. After voters in western New York rioted over it by handing a formerly safe GOP congressional seat to a Democrat, many Republicans have been jumping ship. Odd that House Speaker John Boehner continues to sail on with nothing in the hold but a vague threat to let America default on its debt if ... if what? If Democrats refuse to make the drastic spending cuts Republicans are afraid to push.
What do the American people think? A Quinnipiac poll found that 69 percent, including nearly half of Republicans, want taxes raised on households making more than $250,000. A later Ipsos/Reuters polls shows three-fifths wanting to raise taxes to cut the deficit.
When President Obama recently urged Republicans to accept some tax increases as part of a deficit-cutting deal, the ship stayed dead in the water. "The American people know tax hikes destroy jobs," Boehner stated.
Is that so? Perhaps the people remember that in 1993 President Clinton signed a tax increase that helped set off an economic boom and job bonanza. Why? America had shown a willingness to start paying its bills, and investors responded with enthusiasm. In this case, higher taxes created jobs.
Clinton left a budget surplus that his successor, George W. Bush, quickly squandered with tax cuts. Even then, polls showed public support for them only on the understanding that the surpluses would continue. They famously did not.
Today, high-tax Sweden has only 7 percent unemployment, while ours is 9 percent. How come? Before the 2008 economic meltdown, Sweden prudently maintained a budget surplus equal to 3.6 percent of its economy. Bush's America was running a 3 percent deficit.
So guess which country was better prepared to weather the deep recession that followed? In the recent first quarter, Sweden's economy expanded at an annual rate of 6.4 percent, while ours grew a mere 1.9 percent. Meanwhile, no one in Sweden is threatening the health care security of anyone, much less the elderly.
Offering no serious deficit plan that the public can stomach, what Republicans have left is a political plan. Here's how it goes:
After the 1993 tax hike, Democrats suffered grievously at the polls. Though other factors were involved, Republicans pounded them on the tax increase, despite its affecting only high-income households. At the same time, they hearkened back to Ronald Reagan's famous tax cuts, even though the Gipper had also raised taxes 11 times, and still, the national debt doubled during his two terms.
Republicans also recall the beating President George H.W. Bush took from the party's anti-tax cultists after he broke his pledge, "Read my lips, no new taxes." That raising taxes was the responsible thing to do back then did the elder Bush little good.
Many voters who bought the voodoo that tax cuts automatically pay for themselves, and more, are older now, and some are wiser. America must curb spending for sure, but clearly no tolerable path away from the deficit cliff can skirt the revenue side — especially when federal tax collections (relative to the gross domestic product) are the lowest they've been in 60 years.
The Good Ship Tax Cut has run its last cruise. The hard fiscal realities are getting harder to ignore, prompting even recovering tax-a-phobes to take a sedative and say, "Yes, new taxes."

SAN FRANCISCO WALK-A-THON GETS SEAL OF APPROVAL: Last weekend, Astro came by to help out a good cause by joining a walk-a-thon near San Francisco.
But Astro's not a dog. He's a sea lion.
To the surprise of shocked walkers, the marine mammal waddled in from the beach and managed to complete a lap during the charity hike.
This is not the sea lion's first time back to the Bay Area, as he has been seen around the Golden Gate bridge and other locales since being released back into the wild last April.
Astro may have returned for a chance to hop on the Warriors bandwagon…or on Jessica Alba.

Denver East grad David Oliver reached the pinnacle of his sport Monday, winning a gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles at the track and field World Championships in Moscow.
Oliver, a former American record holder, claimed a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics but was injured last year and did not make the team that went to the London Olympics.
"It's been a lot of hard work, and just coming up short and dealing with injuries and all of that kind of stuff," Oliver told USA Track and Field. "A lot of changes had to be made, we made them, and now I can sit back with my team and celebrate that we are world champions."
Oliver, 31, won in 13.0 seconds. American Ryan Wilson took the silver medal (13.13) and Sergey Shubenkov of Russia claimed bronze (13.24).
"I just try to turn negatives into positives, that's kind of what I do," said Oliver, who lives in Clermont, Fla., where he is coached by the legendary Brooks Johnson. "Every race is always dedicated to my mom. She is my biggest supporter and my backbone."
Oliver's mother, Brenda Chambers, was a 400-meter hurdler at the University of Colorado and was affected by boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics that was ordered by President Jimmy Carter because of the USSR's invasion of Afghanistan. Those Olympics were held in the same stadium where the world championships are being contested.
"She taught me everything I know, and for them not to be able to compete in the '80 games ... She is here in the stadium, so there is just nothing better," Oliver said. "I just love sharing those moments with her, she's the most important person."

Love this line of skin care, I can actually pronounce the names of the ingredients! Love the fact that Kiss My Face uses natural ingredients. This is a good creme, but I do like the "Under Age Ultra Hydrating Moisturizer" a little better (same company). It is slightly more emollient, and I love the faint scent of roses. Overall, Kiss My Face is a winner!
i loyally use kiss my face vit C serum and received the intensive repair night creme initially as a sample. i loved the sample. but when i got your full size product- it was not the same. i noticed the manufacture date was back in '08- so truthfully i feel the product was old. Consequently, i was not pleased.

I haven't heard much of anything on how hes looking so far.
I have high hopes, so I'm hoping I'm just missing the reports on him
Title says it all.
Looks to be a future setup/closer.
LOVE this trade! He pitched OK this year in only 6 games, has an incredibly good arm and is thought to have a very high ceiling if he can...
I think there were teams willing to give up a top pitching prospect, but I think Melvin sees a huge upside for the two pitchers we got back. They are kind of wildcards, underperforming recently. I...
Yeah - Not loving it. I would've wanted a better pitching prospect in return.
Guess not - after reviewing who is in Double AA - Im not in love with this trade. I would've liked better pitcher in return. These guys dont looks like they will contribute other then the tail end...
""The Angels have acquired Zack Greinke in a trade with the Brewers, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi of FOX Sports (Twitter link). Milwaukee will receive top infield prospect Jean Segura...
So where are we going in the 2nd. Still a few good DE's - not much for S. Wouldnt want to draft a corner just yet. Should've made that trade with the eagles
In other news, the packers trade Walden for a 7th round pick....
Stupid question,
But is he putting on more weight and playing DE or taking off 10 pds and playing OLB
Yea no doubt, but the tag usually gives a good negotiating point. No way I think hes worth a dime over 7.5 per year & his contract needs to be incentive laden
Yea what I meant is that there are DE, ROLB and CBs in the 1st round that are starter ready for the league.
I dont see a QB being on the board at #8 though. IMO a 1st round pick is worth a starting caliber QB who can step in immediately and who has experience with the Head Coach. Together they could...
The tag for a TE is 5. something million. Theres no way we pay over 7/yr. Give him something around Davises deal 5 years 35 million sounds about right.
we NEED extra picks this year. I think its flynn and our 3rd for their 1st. Or a conditional 1st rounder depending on his performance next year. But this years draft is stacked and two 1st...
Flynn and our 2nd or 3rd for their 1st.
I think Flynn is a starter in this league and worth a 1st rounder. I dont know where they pick, but I would think Flynn for a 1st round pick, or Flynn and our 3rd for their 1st. Gets them a starter...
Correct me if im wrong, but after trading him the 1 year tag deal does not keep in effect. No hes not worth 14million and no TT would not do it without a trade in place, but im pretty sure that if...
Agreed about Finley - but he may want way to much money.
Disagree about Flynn. Look at what Cassel and other Backups have gotten. Not to mention, we dont tag him unless a deal is in place...
No way Wilson makes it that far. Im guessing he goes 3rd - 4th tops
Either way, I dont think either player will be back next year. Finley wants to much money and IMO is overrated. I wouldn't mind having him back at 3-4 Million/yr but...
I would rather get someone who can play 1st - defensively
Yea dont understand this at all.
Gamel at first - Fine but you need a Veteran Defensive sub or were scrreeewwwwed.
Blah blah blah - dont freak out until we know the details cry baby.
Meh, we got the short end on this one.
Now the million dollar question - were seriously content with Gamel/Green at 1st base?? Thats going to be a disaster!!!!
If thats the case then we...
Reportedly practiced today.
All signs point to limited play V the Vikings.
Hopefully provides D with a much needed spark

Event Summary
Many claim that teachers are the most important school-based factor in determining student success, but current teacher tenure laws may be inhibiting students from accessing effective teachers. On Thursday, former news reporter Campbell Brown presented remarks at AEI and joined AEI's Frederick M. Hess in a conversation about teacher tenure and her current endeavor to reform tenure laws in New York.
As the founder of the Partnership for Educational Justice, Brown is currently helping eight families with a lawsuit that challenges tenure, disciplinary, and seniority laws, claiming that these laws prevent students from accessing their state constitutional right of a "sound and basic education." She characterized this argument for tenure reform as basic common sense and clarified that the lawsuit is "not intended to erode due process, but rather to focus on due progress."
By using the courts to facilitate removing ineffective teachers, Brown said, we can ensure that all students have access to quality ones. Although she acknowledged that tenure reform is not a magic bullet to fixing America's schools and that courts should be a last resort in seeking change, she cited tenure reform as one practical step in reforming the system.
–Sarah DuPre
Event Description
Teacher tenure has long been a contentious issue in K–12 education, with many in the reform community lamenting how teacher tenure can complicate the process of removing ineffective teachers. This summer's landmark Vergara v. California ruling, which overturned teacher tenure in California, suggested that turning to the courts might be a viable path to tenure reform.
In the wake of the Vergara ruling, Campbell Brown, founder of the Partnership for Educational Justice and former CNN news anchor, helped organize a similar tenure lawsuit in New York State. We welcome you to join us as Brown shares her perspective on the role of the courts in seeking educational justice and advocating for continued reform.
If you are unable to attend, we welcome you to watch the event live on this page. Full video will be posted within 24 hours.

Speaker Biographies
Campbell Brown is an award-winning journalist and public education advocate who has spent much of her career covering stories around the globe for NBC News and hosting her own program on CNN. Brown has written about education and other issues for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Daily Beast, Slate, and other publications. Through her writing and reporting on the state of US public schools, Brown became a passionate advocate for school choice and education reform. Earlier this year, she founded the Partnership for Educational Justice (PEJ), which supports parents who are taking action to improve public schools, challenging teacher tenure and special dismissal protections that make it almost impossible to remove grossly ineffective and even abusive teachers from the classroom. PEJ is supporting eight families who are suing the state of New York, challenging these laws on constitutional grounds. Brown is also the founder of the Parents' Transparency Project, a watchdog group that investigates and reports on failure and inequity in the public education system. In addition, she serves on the boards of Success Academy Charter Schools and the Jewish Community Project, a preschool and community center in lower Manhattan.
Frederick M. Hess is resident scholar and director of education policy studies at AEI. An educator, political scientist, and author, Hess studies a range of K–12 and higher education issues. He pens the Education Week blog Rick Hess Straight Up and has authored influential books on education including "Cage-Busting Leadership" (Harvard Education Press, 2013), "The Same Thing Over and Over" (Harvard University Press, 2010), "Education Unbound" (ASCD, 2010), "Common Sense School Reform" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2006), "Revolution at the Margins" (Brookings Institution Press, 2002), and "Spinning Wheels" (Brookings Institution Press, 1998). He has edited widely cited volumes on education philanthropy, urban school reform, how to stretch the school dollar, education entrepreneurship, what we have learned about the federal role in education reform, and No Child Left Behind. He also serves as executive editor of Education Next; as lead faculty member for the Rice Education Entrepreneurship Program; on the Review Board for the Broad Prize in Urban Education; and on the boards of directors of the National Association of Charter School Authorizers, 4.0 Schools, and the American Board for the Certification of Teaching Excellence. A former high-school social studies teacher, Hess has taught at the University of Virginia, the University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown University, Rice University, and Harvard University.

Moving 5 Domains to 1: An SEO Case StudyBlog Post: March 23, 2015
Hey Dr Pete,
thanks for posting this! I'm always interested to hear how you handle "normal" SEO situations. With almost EVERY client I take on, I find they have multiple web properties, but most of the time they have decent domain authority and plenty of traffic on their own. However, despite that, I have always recommended that clients move all of their similar web properties under one domain and have gone through this same process hundreds of times with positive results every time. Nearly immediate increased rankings and exponential traffic increases are common. I would say the key factor here is definitely preparation, as you say. Painstakingly redirecting every url via htaccess is paramount to success. I have also done this with completely different sites, where the new designs couldn't be incorporated, but just lived in sub-directories and integrated navigation (creatively) and have had great results with that as well. I really can't see any benefit to having multiple websites. I think you made the right move!

Just seeing people and fresh produce along The Road to Rainier helps liven the view. Mount Rainier is nearly everything but add wonderful people selling and sharing beautiful local produce and unique craft items and you truly have paradise.

What is the difference between an android cell phone and a non-android cell phone?
Almost all still share a common thread of being based on a flavor of Unix. Even Apple's IOS7. So at the core of it, the only major difference is the interface.
Ummmm. What?
One has android and the other has another operating system to interface with the hardware. I don't think there's much to this question. And if it were to be answered by going into specifics of how different OSes handle the hardware it would be a too broad answer.
I'm a little confused... :uhh:
I don't think think it's that unsound of a question. With the variety of cellular phones on the market, it's perfectly valid.
Simply stated, an android cell phone uses the Android operating system.
There are phones that run other (non-android) operating systems like Windows Phone OS, Blackberry OS, iOS, Bada etc.
Note that phones that use these operating systems are generally called Smart Phones. Of course before the smart phone era, mobile phones also had OS but those operating systems differ from smart phone operating systems by their low capability and less programability.
(At present many low end phones still use not-smartphone OS.)
Android: Very customizable. Open source operating system is easily changed, hacked, manipulated, and molded to fit whatever functionality you had in mind. Your friend definitely has one to try. Found on all platforms for all prices depending on what hardware and software version you are interested in. Second largest app store. The battery is usually replaceable.
iPhone: The first smartphone that was actually smart. Always turns on and always works. Same operating experience on all iPhones. The screen has the most pixel density. Hardware is made for Apple to Apple specs and cannot be changed. Has the largest app store. Most phone accessories are made for iPhone ranging from alarm clock docking stations and credit card scanners to stun guns.
That is the difference..
I doubt the screen has the most pixel density. There are Android phones out there with better than 1080p resolution and 2400p phones are expected soon.
Meanwhile, the latest iPhone is 640p.
For instance, on my Samsung Galaxy S4, which is only a 1080p screen, it is true "retina" resolution (at least for me) because the pixels are so small that my eye cannot resolve them without putting it too close to the screen to focus.
On the other hand, the iPhone 5 is not a retina screen for me because if I put my eyes right up to the point where I start to lose focus, I can barely make out the pixels (i5 326 ppi versus 441 for the S4 and 538 for the LG G3).
At least from my perspective, that means that 1080p is pretty much the highest useful resolution in a screen that size.

One of my fav holiday scents from BBW! Smells like an array of sweet creamy vanilla bean!

This smells like a vanilla cupcake. It's a pretty strong sweet vanilla scent. It's very smooth, non greasy and so far hasn't agitated/broke out my skin.

Oh my gosh. This smells soooo good! It smells like cake, caramel, cupcakes and everything sweet! I wish they had this all year, cause it's definitely one of my favorite scents! Anyone who loves sweet scents, I can guarantee that you will love this. It's sweet and soft without smelling plasticky or artificial.

Hair: Brown, Curly, Coarse

Soft, warm & sweet scent. Been wearing this religiously for the past 10 years. Though this may be a 'holiday' scent, I'll wear this til summertime(when my supply runs out). When I wear it, the house'll smell like cookies baking in the oven, esp. if you use the bubble bath. Also great to wear on a cold brisk day!

This is my go to scent around christmas/winter time. It is a nice cozy vanilla with no musk, and it smells kind of like cupcakes or icing. Its delicious. Whenever my friends pick me up in the morning and I smell like this they all compliment me. Its a delicious vanilla, caramel, creamy scent and its amazing.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Dark, Warm
Hair: Brown, Relaxed, Medium

I really like this scent. It's so warm and cozy. My husband said it smells like cotton candy but once it dries down on my skin it reminds me of coco butter. I will repurchase next season.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Tan, Warm
Hair: Black, Kinky, Other

Yummy, this smells so good. Just warm Vanilla goodness, it stays pretty well too. This is one of my favorite Vanilla scents, I will definitely repurchase.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I absolutely love this lotion! I have tried so many vanilla lotions, but none really did it for me. They either didn't smell as light and sweet as I like, or they wouldn't stay on and last for very long. This one smells like vanilla, but actually more like freshly baked cookies or caramel to me, which I love! It's really light and fresh, and it does a great job of moisturizing for me.
The sweet scent and how long it lasts is what really makes this lotion so great for me. I've always wanted to find something that made me smell nice all day long without having to re-apply every few minutes! You can't get it at Bath & Body Works all year long, since it's Christmas themed, but you can get it online anytime you want, which is great.
I would really recommend this product if you're looking for something really sweet and light that lasts a long time without being an overpowering scent. One of my favorite products that I own! Absolutely.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other

SO yummy!
I bought three so I would have enough for the rest of the year. It smells like marshmallows and sugar and vanilla, I have one friend that thinks it smells like corn, but I don't detect this. Almost every time I where this my friends will comment on how good it smells, and I really enjoy it too. At first I was going to give this 5 stars, but I took one off because the lotion has some not-so-good things like petroleum in it, (the only reason I don't use it all more than I do). overall a very yummy, cozy scent :)

The god of vanilla has ansered my prayers! BBW Vanilla Bean Noel is spectacular. A regular in the holiday signature scent collection, VBN�s formula changes from year to year. 2012�s version features natural vanilla, butter cream, caramel, hint of chocolate, soft musk, and sugar cookie. I smell like cake and powdered sugar. The contents of my bottle are so tempting, I have to remind myself that this is lotion and not thick vanilla icing. Moisturization is great, as is the case for me with other BBW lotions, and the lasting power of the fragrance lingers for several hours. Yum! Layer this under Burberry Brit (Key lime pie) or Vs Heavenly (Indian rice pudding), and you are a walking testament to the powers of gourmand scent engineering. It is quite an experience, which is why I bought about 20 bottles this season (no exaggeration). Love it, love it. Only wish I knew about VBN sooner, but I shall buy more next year. Definite An HG in the world of vanilla lotions!

Jordan Hill has reached a two-year agreement worth nearly $8M to return to the Lakers. According to his agent Kevin Bradbury "Jordan will be returning to the Lakers next season to join Steve Nash in trying to bring a championship to LA!

ReviewsNextbase CAR Series Wireless Headphones 4 4Great for in the car Perfect product for a toddler to use when in the car. The wireless feature prevents him getting all tangled up in the wires. The size of these headphones means no fiddling with in ear ones which keep falling out of tiny ears. Would definately recommend 10 September 2014So easy for the kids to use I bought these because I was on the third pair of headphones in the car due to the wires getting caught up with feet, bags, arms, you name it, the kids get them snagged on it. My 3 year old operates these all by herself, as does my 7 year old. Cannot rate them highly enough, fantastic value. 08 September 2014Great value Excellent value for money. I paid roughly half the price of comparable items. These headphones are also much better than the standard phones included in the player. 08 September 2014Reservations need improving Great product, but after reserving the product online at your Aylesford Branch, I went to collect and it wasn't there and there were none in stock only an hour after reserving. Staff, did apologise, but that was it. I'd driven 15 miles to collect and no offer of compensation whatsoever! I ended up picking the item up from the Mile End road branch, after reserving. Something needs to be done! 31 August 20141-4 of 4

iHerb Customer Reviews
High doses can cause hyperthyroidism
4 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1022362 on Sep 10, 2010
The first few doses gave me a real boost - much more energy and motivation, needing to sleep less, less depressed. But after that it made me extremely anxious with obsessive racing thoughts, insomnia and feeling shaky inside. My boyfried had exactly the same reaction. Be very careful with high doses like this. It can cause hyperthyroidism and even Graves disease.

I have been taking this for about 3 weeks and I'm feeling great! I don't feel tire and I'm more focused. I did have a little reaction when I initially started taking this, but it has since gone away. I have given some of this to a friend and she loves it. It helps with her constipation to where everything is flowing like normal.

In a Google+ post, the exec gave no clues about his next move, saying, "Now is the time for a new journey. A continuation. … I am excited about what's next. But this isn't the day to talk about that."

MOSCOW -- Petr Schastlivyy scored midway through the third period and Russia held on for a 5-4 win over Finland at the hockey world championships on Tuesday.
In Mytischi, Jaroslav Bednar scored the winning goal with 1:08 remaining to lift the Czech Republic to a 4-3 victory over the United States and the top spot in Group B.
In other games, Belarus beat Austria 5-2 in Group B and Denmark downed Ukraine 4-3 in Group D to send both teams to the qualifying round.
After a turnover in the neutral zone, Russian defender Denis Grebeshkov passed to Schastlivyy and the Russian captain beat Finland goalie Fredrik Norrena, who also plays for the Columbus Blue Jackets, with a wrist shot low on the stick side at 12:21 of the third period to give the hosts a 5-3 lead.
Russia took a 4-1 lead into the third period of the Group D game but the Finns rallied on goals by Jukka Hentunen and the Dallas Stars' Jere Lehtinen and pulled within a goal for the final time when Petteri Nummelin converted on a power play at 14:09.
Lehtinen, added to Finland's roster for Tuesday's game, tapped a rebound past goalie Vasili Koshechkin at 8:53 of the third to cut Russia's lead to 4-3.
"We let them get back into it with some penalties," Russian and Sergei Gonchar, a Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman, said. "But we knew if we stuck to our game plan we'd be OK and most of the play in the last half of the period was in their end."
With Russian hockey great Boris Mikhailov among the capacity crowd, Russia looked set for an easy win with two goals in the first six minutes of the second period that gave Vyacheslav Bykov's team a three-goal cushion.
Atlanta Thrashers winger Ilya Kovalchuk threaded a cross-ice pass to Gonchar, who beat Norrena with a blast from the faceoff circle to make it 3-1 at 3:49.
"Ilya made a great pass," Gonchar said. "Their goalie didn't have a chance to move across the crease and I had a wide-open net."
Tempers flared after Gonchar's goal. Jarkko Ruutu was ejected from the game for an elbow to Schastlivyy, who was slow getting up.
On the ensuing power play, Alexei Morozov, who had three goals in Russia's 8-1 win over Ukraine, scored on a rebound at 6:08 to make it 4-1.
Russia is bidding for its first world title since 1993. Finland last won the tournament in 1995.
Along with Mikhailov, who led the Soviet Union to eight world titles from 1969 to 1979, former greats Vladislav Tretiak and Slava Fetisov were also in attendance.
Both teams had already advanced to the qualifying round. Russia improved to 3-0 while Finland dropped to 2-1.
Bednar provided the heroics for the Czech Republic with overtime approaching.
Jan Marek passed from behind the net, and Bednar -- the Czechs' 13th forward who did not play in their opening game against Belarus -- tapped it under John Grahame's leg.
"Both teams played hard and pretty good. It was the first tough game for both teams. We and the Americans played 100 percent," Czech goalie Roman Cechmanek said.
After an evenly matched opening period, the Czechs went ahead on a power play with 3:08 remaining. Grahame was protecting the left side of his net from the fast approaching Jaroslav Hlinka, but the Czech made a pass to Petr Caslava, who knocked the puck into the gaping net.
Defenseman Ryan Suter equalized for the Americans on a power play 4:42 into the second period, his snap shot from the point deflecting off the right post and then Cechmanek's backside into the net.
Buoyed by a loud partisan crowd, the Czechs pulled ahead again at 14:37 when Zbynek Irgl stormed down the wing to beat Grahame.
At 7:51 of the third, Marek snatched a loose puck and made a quick pass to Petr Tenkrat, who made it 3-1 when he got it through Grahame's short side.
However, the U.S. responded with two goals in 98 seconds.
Chad Larose of Carolina scored shorthanded at 13:59, and Andrew Hutchinson put slap shot from the point through Cechmanek's pads.
Austria and Ukraine will move on to the relegation round. Two teams will be demoted to the second division while France and Slovenia will move up to the top division for the 2008 tournament.
Rasmus Pander and Kim Staal scored less than three minutes apart midway through the first and Denmark held off Ukraine. Pander's goal at 10:31 of the first put Denmark ahead 2-1 and Staal scored the first of his two for a two-goal cushion.
After Oleksandr Matviichuk pulled Ukraine within 3-2 26 seconds later, Staal added his second midway through the second on a power play to give the insurance the Danes needed.
Aleksei Ugarov and Oleg Antonenko scored power-play goals midway through the second to give Belarus a 4-2 lead and spoil a two-goal
effort by Austria's Andre Lakos. The victory sent it to the qualifying round where it will open Friday against either Germany or Norway.

Are surface and troposphere in agreement
Expand Messages
- The MSU satellite data, as of November 2001,
indicate a warming trend in the lower troposphere of +0.03
deg centigrade per decade over the past 20 or so
years. http://www.uah.edu/News/2001news/1101temps.html

Meanwhile, the warming trend at the surface has been much
greater. The reason for this discrepancy is a largely due
to volcanic aerosols (which cool the lower
troposphere more than the surface) and ozone depletion (which
cools the stratosphere thus increasing the lapse rate
of the troposphere).
http://www.llnl.gov/llnl/06news/NewsReleases/2001/NR-01-11-05.html

These effects have skewed the relatively
short satellite record. In the long term, the warming
of the lower troposphere (as measured by radiosonde
data from weather balloons) is just about as great as
at the surface (they both show an increase of around
0.1 deg C per decade for the past 4 decades).

http://www.brighton73.freeserve.co.uk/gw/globalwarmingfaq.htm#satellitetemperatu
- On Feb 28th, the Interplanetary Magnetic Field
swung to a strong south-pointing orientation. That,
coupled with an elevated solar wind speed and density,
triggered a G-1 class geomagnetic storm. The result was
some high latitude aurora. See this link for a
photgraph of aurora observed over Quebec :
http://www.spaceweather.com/aurora/images/01mar02/Moussette2.jpg . As of right now, there are 3 sunspot regions,
namely 9839, 9842, and 9845, that appear to be capable
of producing M-class flares. Regions 9839 and 9842
are close to rotating out of view over the western
limb of the solar disk. Sunspot region 9845, however,
is close to the sun's central meridian. A rather
large coronal hole is also approaching the sun's
central meridian, and coming into an Earth-pointing
position. High speed colar wind gusts are likely around the
first of next week.

The current solar and
geomagnetic conditions are :

NOAA sunspot number :
153
SFI : 188
A index : 10
K index : 1

Solar
wind speed : 372.3 km/sec
Solar wind density : 4.4
protons/cc
Solar wind pressure : 1.1 nPa

IMF : 8.4
nT
IMF Orientation : 0.7 nT North

Conditions for
the last 24 hours :
Solar activity was low. The
geomagnetic field was quiet to unsettled. Stratwarm Alert
exists Friday.

Forecast for the next 24 hours
:
Solar activity will be low to moderate. The geomagnetic
field will be quiet to unsettled.

Solar Activity
Forecast :
Solar activity is expected to be low to
moderate for the next three days. Region 9845 is a
possible source for isolated M-class
flares.

Geomagnetic activity forecast :
Geomagnetic field activity
is expected to be mainly quiet to unsettled, until
the onset of high speed stream effects from a
recurrent coronal hole begin to develop by day three of the
forecast period. Isolated active conditions are
anticipated thereafter.

Recent significant solar flare
activity :
None

Blue Flag
Principal Proposed Uses
- Not recommended for internal use.
Other Proposed Uses
- Impetigo (Topical)
Blue flag, a member of the iris family, is found throughout North America. It was widely used by Native Americans for digestive problems. In the nineteenth century, physicians of the Eclectic school of medicine also used blue flag for digestive problems, as well as to treat thyroid enlargement, enhance immunity, stimulate the liver, and "detoxify" the body. 1 A topical preparation of the herb was used for impetigo (a skin infection caused by Streptococcus bacteria). The rhizome (underground stem) is the part used medicinally. Blue flag has undergone no meaningful scientific study. In view of the lack of documented benefits, the absence of toxicity studies, the toxicity of related species, and the known side effects, we recommend against the use of this herb.
What Is Blue Flag Used for Today?Blue flag is used by some herbalists today to treat liver problems and skin diseases. However, there has been essentially no scientific evaluation of the efficacy of this herb. It is thought to contain isophtalic acid, iridin, and the volatile oil furfural.
DosageA typical dosage is 1–2 grams three times daily.
Safety IssuesBlue flag has not undergone any meaningful scientific study. High doses of blue flag are known to cause severe gastrointestinal upset, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and related species are known to be toxic. 2 The fresh herb can irritate the mouth and stomach. Blue flag is considered unsafe for use by pregnant or nursing women and young children.
