Airline flight guitar horror stories are legion, so I thought I'd tell one with a happy ending.
I recently flew from San Francisco to Washington, DC on Virgin America -- yes, the airline with cocktail lounge lighting on its planes, which can be a bit disconcerting at 8:00 am. After a warm greeting from the gate attendant, who blithely waved me on board with two carry-ons, I was asked by a flight attendant to gate check my gig bag, in which reposed my Taylor 612 Kathy Mattea signature guitar (maple, black, cutaway). I readily consented (don't tell Chris Smither, please) and enjoyed a pretty easy flight. At Dulles, however, things became complicated. The gate agent refused to hand over the guitar; the flimsy bag tag had somehow been dislodged, and he maintained that Patriot Act provisions prevent the airline from releasing any item without a bag tag.
I panicked. But not for too long. First, the plane's captain, Marc Hawkins, who had witnessed the initial gate check, offered to accompany me to baggage claim and bear witness as to the facts of the case. After an anxious 10 minutes between the gate and baggage claim, we met Tucker White, Virgin's Station Supervisor at Dulles, who turned out to be a guitar player himself. Lo and behold, his staff have standing orders to walk anything fragile from the gate.
I was reunited with the guitar, in good order and still in tune.
Thank you, Marc, and thank you, Tucker. I only wish you'd worked for UPS the last time I had to ship that instrument ... but that's a whole other horror story.

Foolanthropy is The Motley Fool's charity project, founded in 1997.
Expanded Definition
Since 1997, Foolanthropy has now raised over $3 million – money from both Fool HQ and the worldwide Motley Fool community – for a wide range of worthy causes.
From 1997 to 2006, Foolanthropy primary focused on accepting community nominations of worthy charities that fit the company's Foolanthropic tenets. A Motley Fool volunteer committee would then select from that long annual list of nominees five worthy and Foolish candidates, and publicize those as the "Foolish charities" for that year. The Motley Fool community would then respond member by member voluntarily sending funds via check or stock donation directly to the charities themselves, in the name of Foolanthropy. In addition to the $3+ million of funding, Foolanthropy has helped many up-and-coming charities, for instance Grameen Foundation (whose founder Mohammed Yunus would later win the Nobel Peace Prize), to become better identified, broadcasted, and publicized.
From 2007-2008, Foolanthropy narrowed its focus more directly on a core Motley Fool mission: financial literacy. Foolanthropy selected a few partners and worked to focus contributions on them. In 2009, Foolanthropy shook things up again to focus on volunteerism, with a financial literacy angle. This was in contrast to past years in which Fool Inc. solicited direct donations of money from its membership. The campaign launched in December 2009 and will runs through January 8, 2010.
Below are some specifics on Foolanthropy '09: o What we're doing: Foolanthropy '09 is dedicated to volunteerism. The plan is to "adopt" a local charter school (Thurgood Marshall Academy) by making a generous donation and having Fool employees volunteer there. o Community engagement: For every action taken by any Motley Fool member online during the campaign (e.g. article comments, blog posts and comments, discussion board posts) ten cents will go to the Motley Fool HQ campaign pledge. At the end of the campaign, Fool Inc. adds up all the actions and donates the corresponding amount to the school. o Throughout the year, Fool committee members will send out internal requests for volunteers. Opportunities range from teaching workshops on financial literacy and budgeting to helping parents with filing their taxes to being a mentor for a high school student.

The Optic is bigger than any one person. It's an institution in Las Vegas — one that's critical to the community's life and livelihood.
This institution, however, is run by people whose collective contribution to our product has been a source of great pride for me, since I've had the honor of being at the helm for more than eight years.
Editor's note: This is the first in a series to run over several consecutive Fridays. It is written by members of the Hermit's Peak Watershed Alliance, which seeks to foster land stewardship in the Gallinas, Sapello and Tecolote watersheds.
Water connects us all. It moves through the earth and our atmosphere in the water cycle, passing through many of us along the way.
We are only one of the beneficiaries of this amazing substance. Almost everything we do and use and everything on this planet has or did have water as part of it.
With lightning speed, in the same year he founded La Voz del Pueblo, Felix Martinez dedicated his newspaper to fighting both the entrenched political system, run by the wealthy and powerful Hispanic dons, and the increasing land grant acquisition by Anglo land speculators.
By the summer of 1890, La Voz had coalesced three disparate groups to form a new political party, El Partido del Pueblo Unido (United People's Party) — and the new populist party spread like wildfire throughout Las Vegas and the county.
As the 2013 legislative session moves forward, I want to take a moment to discuss some of the capital outlay project requests that involve northeastern New Mexico.
First, I want to remind everyone that capital outlay helps pay for bricks-and-mortar projects all over the state.
"If you're against child abuse, forward this message to everyone on your email list."
All right. Done!
Actually not. I needed to think about the message, which appeared on my Facebook page, and presumably on the page of all my Facebook "friends."
One of the responsibilities I'll miss most upon leaving the Optic is handling the letters to the editor. I've been doing it since I arrived here in October 2004.
All that's going to change soon, as I move on to new adventures and Martín Salazar starts doing double-duty as both interim general manager and managing editor.
As we continue our current series devoted to the history of Las Vegas newspapers, we hope it is apparent to the reader that it is through the prism of La Voz del Pueblo, that we recount a momentous epoch in the tale of two cities.
Through the eyes of La Voz founder Felix Martinez and his associates Ezequiel C de Baca and Antonio Lucero, we continue to impart the social and political upheaval which occurred here as the 20th century dawned.
To use the students' expression, they were "freaked out" at hearing the way I pronounced "knight."
Well now everyone knows the word belongs to that group of English words that's fraught with silent letters. There are only three sounds in the word: n, a long i, and a t.
Really, President's Day is a second-tier holiday — most of us don't even get to take off work for this national holiday.
Still, I've decided to use the day as fodder for today's column, beginning with a single question: Who was the greatest U.S. president of all time?
As noted in our last column, when Felix Martinez established La Voz del Pueblo in Las Vegas in 1890, a growing tempest was forming along the Gallinas and throughout San Miguel County — and La Voz would soon be at the head of the storm.
Smoldering for decades, discontent among the Hispanic population came to a climax when Judge Elisha Long made his momentous 1889 decision in the Millheiser case, ruling that the common lands of the Las Vegas Land Grant could be lawfully fenced and claimed privately.

Oscar Peterson
Oscar Peterson is one of the greatest piano players of all time. A pianist with phenomenal technique on the level of his idol, Art Tatum, Peterson's speed, dexterity and ability to swing at any tempo have long been amazing. Very effective in small groups, jam sessions and in accompanying singers, O.P. is at his absolute best when performing unaccompanied solos. His original style does not fall into any specific idiom. Like Erroll Garner and George Shearing, Peterson's distinctive playing formed during the mid- to late-'40s and fell somewhere between swing and bop.

Is it really wrong to say "How do we call something in English?" instead of "What do we call something in English?"? The former's not unusual in Philippine English at all (probably it's because of the influence of Spanish, which was the national language for almost 400 years). Indeed, it's quite interesting that in many European languages, they tend to say "how". Anyone who can explain this? Thanks a lot.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
This question on Pearson's English Language Teaching site pretty much answers your question.
To summarize:
The article goes on to conclude:
"How do we call sth?" has a different meaning. The word "call" here means "to bring sth" or "to make sth or sb aware". Like for example "how do I call the elevator?"; here you're asking about how to make the elevator come to your floor so that you can use it and the answer would be for example "You just press the button to the right."
It is perfectly alright for, let's say, a French person to say 'How do you say 'diarrhéa' in English?' You can also ask 'How do they spell diarrhoea in America?' (Answer: 'They don't know how to'.)
What we can't say, but you apparently can, is 'How do you call the condition where you are constantly running to the loo'. As you point out we say 'What do you call ...?'
So this is all to do with the verb 'to call', which takes a number of interrogative pronouns including 'what' and 'how', but they each imply something different. 'What do you call your son?' will attract an answer of Charles Anthony, or something. However 'How do you call your son' is likely to attract an answer of something like 'I open the window and yell "Charlie"'.
So you can see that 'How do you call a thing with four wheels and an engine', doesn't really make sense. It is to do with the fact that 'call' is used in different senses. Although I am sure you find a way round this in the Philippines.

I was just reading about a young man named Rajaan Bennett. He's from Georgia and he was killed on Feb 18th by his mother's ex-boyfriend. I won't go into the entire story (you can google his name and read about it) but he was said to be an outstanding young man, and a gifted football player headed to play at Vanderbilt and one day be an architect.
He was gunned down in his home because his mother had broken up with the gunman, but why?
Why did he feel the need to take another man's life? The gunman eventually killed himself because he was not man enough to spend the rest of his life in jail, but why did he have to take an innocent man's life first?
Violence has gone too far in this country, everyday there's a hundred stories like this, and I always have the same question, WHY?
I know we don;t have the answers but I think it's time we started to ask how can we make this world a better place! I know I don't have it figured out but one day hopefully these stories will cease to exist, HOPEFULLY!

Political Strategy Notes
Ezra Klein's "Wonkbook: Absolutely everything you need to know about health-reform Supreme Court debut" provides as good an introduction to the hearings as you are likely to find.
it's an ad, but "Seniors and the Affordable Care Act" does have some good talking points for Dem candidates directed at highest turnout constituency.
Louise Radnofsky's "Camping Out for a Ticket In" in the Wall St. Journal takes a look at the unsavory spectacle of people hustling for a limited number (60) of available free tickets to the Supreme Court's hearings on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, including hired place holders ($36 hourly) and scalping ($600). Although there is no acceptable reason why the proceedings will not be televised, "The court has said it will provide, on its website, audio recordings of the arguments a few hours after they wrap up for each session."
Joshua Miller spotlights "Five Races in Which the Health Care Debate Will Matter" at CQ Politics.
ProPublica has an interesting widget in "A Tangled Web: Who's Making Money From All This Campaign Spending?" by Al Shaw, Kim Barker and Justin Elliott, showing who get how much from whom and for what.
Tomasky argues for delayed White House support of gay marriage: "I would argue that it makes sense to win first and then do it. If he did it in a campaign context, many people would ascribe the move to other motives, and it would be the topic of heated debate. But if he does it in a second term, no one will be the least bit surprised."
The Fix's Aaron Blake reports that GOP primary turnout is up slightly.
Isolde Raftery's "What Gender Gap? Washington State Has a History of Women Who Lead" in The New York Times sheds light on how one state over comes male domination of politics. "Nationwide, women's groups point out the glaring gender disparity in public life, noting that there are only 6 female governors and 17 female senators. Across the country, women make up 23.6 percent of state legislatures." She cites the late settling of the west as a factor in reducing the male advantage, along with the state's "breed of tough, activist women."
Despite the GOP's recent blunders regarding reproductive rights, Vicki Needham warns at The Hill that "Slower jobs growth for women voters could cost Obama in election." Needham notes that "women are the only group for whom employment growth lagged behind population growth from 2009 to 2011...During that time, female employment grew by 0.9 percent and lagged behind growth in the population of working-age women by 1.5 percent...That has led to jobs gains of only 600,000 -- from 65.5 million to 66.1 million -- for women, compared with 2.6 million for men during those two years, the survey showed." She acknowledges, however, that Obama still has a strong edge in the polls with women voters.
Ryan as Romney's ticketmate? Unlikely in my view. Strategic considerations will probably compel Mitt to look southward, where he has been underperforming. Maybe Rubio (FL + Latino cred), DeMint (tea party pander) or Chambliss (oozes southerness).

"Todd has an exceptional background as both a playing and teaching professional, and he has an incredible record of success in intercollegiate golf," Dooley said. "He's an extremely personable young man who made a great impression on the (search) committee with his passion for the game of golf. I'm confident he will continue the great tradition established by Beans (Kelly) and Liz Murphey."
Arizona's national championship this spring is the most impressive in a long list of achievements McCorkle and his teams have attained. Since entering the collegiate coaching ranks in 1993 at Florida, he has been a member of staffs which, all told, have won two NCAA titles and seven conference championships.
"I feel like this is an incredible opportunity to join one of the nation's premier programs, which features possibly the best practice facilities of any school in the nation," McCorkle said. "It's also a chance for me to get back to the SEC, where I feel very comfortable."
McCorkle has been at Arizona for three years, arriving in 1997 as associate head coach for both the men's and women's teams before being promoted to head women's coach after one season. During his tenure, the women's team finished third and fourth at the 1998 and '99 NCAA Championships, respectively, in addition to winning the national title in May. Also, the Wildcats captured Pac-10 and NCAA West Regional Championships in 1999 and 2000 after finishing as runner-up at both events in 1998.
Arizona's NCAA title this spring capped one of the successful seasons in collegiate women's golf history. The Wildcats won nine tournaments during the campaign, including a school-record eight straight to end the season. Individually, Arizona's Jenna Daniels and Julia Kraschinski finished 1-2 at the NCAAs and all five Wildcats finished among the nation's top-30 golfers in the final MasterCard rankings. McCorkle was named National Coach of the Year by Golfweek, as well as Pac-10 Coach of the Year.
Prior to his stint at Arizona, McCorkle was head men's and women's golf coach at Coastal Carolina University in 1996-97, where he led the men to their first Big South Conference Championship in nine years and was named Big South Conference Coach of the Year. McCorkle's collegiate coaching career began at the University of Florida, where he served as assistant men's coach from 1993-96 and was also interim women's head coach in 1994. McCorkle helped the men's team capture the 1993 NCAA Championship and four straight SEC titles.
After graduating from UNC-Charlotte with a degree in psychology in 1986, McCorkle worked as a professional at Grand Cypress Golf Club in Orlando, Fla., and then held similar positions at Orlando's International Golf Club and Lake Nona Golf Club. He has been a golf instructor at the Golfweek Academy, in addition to other teaching venues. McCorkle also played seven years on the Florida mini-tours before gaining exempt status on the Ben Hogan Tour (now the Buy.com Tour) in 1991 and '92, and he caddied on the PGA Tour for Russ Cochran during that time.
McCorkle becomes only the third head coach ever for the Georgia women's golf program, following Murphey and Kelly. The Lady Bulldogs own one of the nation's premier traditions, posting 14 top-10 finishes at the national championships since 1979, including runner-up efforts in 1981 and 1999. Georgia has produced three individual national champions -- Terri Moody (1981 AIAW), Cindy Schreyer (1984 NCAA) and Vicki Goetze (1992 NCAA). In addition, the Lady Dogs have won a league-best eight Southeastern Conference titles.
The exclusive facilities utilized by the Georgia golf program, the Boyd Golf Center, are among the best in the nation and are located adjacent to the 18th green at the UGA Golf Course. In the fall of 1997, Georgia christened a $1.2 million practice facility featuring multiple tees, greens, wedge play and bunker areas. In the spring of 1999, the Lady Bulldogs and Bulldogs moved into their $600,000 clubhouse, which includes locker rooms, a players' lounge, coaches' offices, meeting rooms and computer work stations.
McCorkle inherits a strong nucleus for his first season in Athens, including Laura Henderson, who tied for seventh individually at the NCAA Championships, Angela Jerman and Lauren Jeske. Additionally, Reilley Rankin and Summer Sirmons, who were playing regulars during the 1998-99 season but missed last season due to injuries, also are expected to return to the course this fall, along with incoming signees Whitney Christie and Liz Stuart.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — The Mets say bullpen catcher Eric Langill has been suspended without pay for seven days after being charged in a drunken driving accident Sunday in central Florida.
The Mets said in a release Wednesday that Langill would also be required to seek counseling through the Employee Assistance Program.
The 32-year-old Langill was arrested Sunday night after losing control at a traffic circle, crashing into a concrete fountain and flipping his car.
Langill was charged with DUI with property damage. He was released from jail Monday morning.

On Sunday, the Bruins (11-3; 3-1 Pac-10) will travel across town to take on USC (8-4-3; 3-1-0 Pac-10) at McAlister Field beginning at 1:00 p.m. UCLA leads the all-time series with USC, 9-2-1 and hasn't lost to the Women of Troy since 1998. Most recently, the Bruins registered a 2-1 decision over USC at Drake Stadium last year. In the 12 meetings between the two schools, UCLA has outscored USC, 34-12 and has recorded five shutouts. The Bruins also won the only NCAA Tournament meeting, blanking the Women of Troy, 3-0 back in 2000. The last time UCLA played at USC, the match ended in a 1-1 tie. Both of USC's victories have come on their home field.
UCLA Leads Series (9-2-1) 2001 W, 2-1 (H) 2000 T, 1-1 (A) OT W, 3-0 (H) 1999 W, 3-0 (H) 1998 L, 4-5 (A) 1997 W, 3-1 (H) 1996 L, 2-3 (A) 1995 W, 4-1 (H) 1994 W, 1-0 (A) W, 3-1 (H) OT 1993 W, 6-0 (A) W, 2-0 (H)
UCLA, USC Battle For Lexus Gauntlet
As part of a season-long competition between UCLA and USC, Sunday's women's soccer match will count towards the battle for the Lexus Gauntlet, which is awarded on an annual basis to the school that does the best in head-to-head competition. In each sport, points will be awarded to the winner of each contest. The school with the most points at the end of the year will receive the Lexus Gauntlet. For more information, including up to date standings, visit the official Lexus Gauntlet page located at: www.gauntlettrophy.com
Bruins Sweep Arizona Schools
UCLA traveled to the desert this week and picked up a pair of shutout victories against Arizona and Arizona State. On Friday, a second-half penalty kick by Jill Oakes helped UCLA take a 1-0 decision over the Wildcats and remain unbeaten in the all-time series, 9-0. On Sunday, Kendal Billingsley, Michelle Mangiardi and Stacy Lindstrom each had second-half goals in a 3-0 victory over ASU. The Sun Devils were ranked No. 17 by Soccer America.
UCLA Remains No. 7 in NSCAA/adidas, Moves up to No. 5 in Soccer America
After sweeping the Arizona schools to go 2-0 on the week, the Bruins remained the same in the NSCAA/adidas weekly poll and moved up one spot from No. 6 to No. 5 in Soccer America's poll. Stanford remained the top team in the country in both major polls. UCLA is also ranked No. 4 in the west region behind Stanford, Portland and Santa Clara.
NSCAA/adidas (10/21) 1. Stanford 2. North Carolina 3. Texas 4. Santa Clara 5. Portland 6. Texas A&M 7. UCLA 8. West Virginia 9. UConn 10. Penn State 11. California 12. Charlotte 13. Purdue 14.

Mora Out, Swanson and Rivera Questionable
Bruin forward Iris Mora, midfielder Sarah-Gayle Swanson and forward Katie Rivera all sat out this past weekend in Arizona. Both Swanson and Rivera were nursing injuries and are questionable for this week against USC. Mora, who is leading the Bruins in scoring with 14 points (7g, 0a) is currently with the Mexican National Team in preparation for the Gold Cup and is not expected to return until Nov. 3. She will be in uniform when Mexico takes on the USA in the Gold Cup opener on Oct. 27 in Pasadena. Mora, Swanson and Rivera account for 38 of UCLA's 103 total points.
Success on the Road
Although this Sunday will mark the first time the Bruins have had to play a ranked opponent on the road this year, UCLA is 5-0 in road matches this season. The school record for consecutive road wins is 10, set back in 1997.
UCLA vs. the NSCAA/adidas Top-25
UCLA is currently 2-3 against teams ranked in the NSCAA/adidas top-25. The Bruins' two victories came against No. 5 Virginia (9/6) and No. 5 Cal (10/11). UCLA's losses have been against No. 2 Stanford (10/13), No. 11 Santa Clara (10/4) and No. 12 Penn State (9/8).

This is a weird one. Nautilus suddenly stopped showing any files in the Desktop folder of my Windows 7 partition. It correctly shows files in all other folders. What's even stranger is that if I do
cd /windows/Users/myuser/Desktop
ls -l
from the terminal, all the files show, no problem.
Just noticed this part of the output of ls, I think this is the culprit:
drwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev 4096 2012-01-04 00:26 MyDirectory1
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? MyDirectory2
I had copied 'MyDirectory2' from my Linux partition to Windows while running Ubuntu. I know linux NTFS support is not as good as the native Windows support, so may be something went wrong. I can't delete this file. Trying to delete it (with 'rm -r MyDirectory2') gives:
rm: cannot remove `MyDirectory2': Input/output error

Atlanta Local Food Initiative's annual event brings edible fruit trees and berry bushes to your community this weekend!
The Atlanta Local Food Initiative's (ALFI) Incredible, Edible, Grow-It-Yourself Fruit Tree, Vine & Berry Bush Sale offers a unique opportunity to buy fruiting trees, bushes, and vines that will thrive in a Georgia climate with minimal maintenance. The fruit tree and berry bush sale is the annual fundraiser for ALFI, a network committed to growing a local food system that nourishes the people, environment, economy, and communities in metro Atlanta.
Fruit trees, berry bushes, and fruiting vines make attractive, cost-effective, and low maintenance additions to your landscape, and their fruit will feed your family for decades!
Varieties available will include: apple, fig, kiwi, paw paw, pear, persimmon, plum, pomegranate, nectarine, hazelnut, blueberry, raspberry, muscadine, and MORE! The varieties offered in the ALFI Sale are carefully selected by experts for their ability to thrive in the local climate and grow well in urban environments.
You can view the list of the plants that will be offered this Saturday - complete with descriptions and growing info. This will help you decide which plants are right for your yard!
Click HERE to view the catalog.
All of the apple varieties in the sale are semi-dwarf this year, which means you need less space to grow an abundant harvest of apples! Want an evergreen to keep your landscape green year round? Try a pineapple guava! Only have room to plant in a pot? Try some strawberries or blueberry bushes! Want a fun native variety? Plant paw paws or an elderberry!
Even if you've never planted a garden, fruit trees and berry bushes are a great way to grow your own delicious food with minimal maintenance. If you're thinking about planting any trees or bushes in your landscape, why not plant something that will grow delicious fruit?
The sale also provides an opportunity for schools and community organizations to earn fruit trees, vines and berry bushes for their group. The new Fruit Tree Challenge rewards each registered group with a credit when their supporters make purchases through the sale.
Shoppers also have the option to directly donate to the ALFI Orchard Project, which installs school and community orchards around Atlanta.
In the past 4 years, 14 orchards have been installed at Title I schools and community gardens around the Atlanta area; these orchards provide a jumping off point for students, parents, teachers, and community members to actively connect with and have access to fresh, sustainably grown food. Recipients are Wesley International Academy, Benjamin E. Mays High School, and the North DeKalb Mall Garden, an affiliate of the Global Growers Network. Over 75 fruit trees and berry bushes will be installed!
Want to help plant? The Orchard Project will kick off immediately after the sale. Join Robby Astrove and other dedicated volunteers and help get these trees in the ground. Contact email@example.com for more information.
"The ALFI Fruit Tree Sale a great opportunity for adding unique treats to your landscape," says Julie Self, Executive Director of ALFI. "My family has enjoyed eating apples, blueberries, pomegranates, and raspberries from trees and bushes that we planted from the ALFI Fruit Tree sale. There's nothing better than taking your kids out in the yard to find a healthy and delicious snack."
All pre-orders will be ready for pick up on Saturday January 25, 2014 at the North DeKalb Mall, and additional plants will be available for on-site purchase. Experts will be on hand during the sale and pickup to provide guidance about raising healthy, fruitful trees, vines and bushes. Planting demonstrations will also take place throughout the afternoon at the North DeKalb Mall Community Garden.

Was your lipstick tested on the backs of beagles? Was your laundry detergent poured in the eyes of bunnies? A new campaign being spread globally on Facebook broadcasts the message that leading cosmetics giants Avon, Mary Kay and Estee Lauder are not worthy of the Cruelty - Free label – a blow that may force a tumult among shareholders as they contemplate a mass exodus of customers towards cosmetics made by companies who do not test on animals.
The announcement on Facebook sparks new attention on the revelation made by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in February 2012 that the skincare products are no longer "cruelty-free" as they are being forced to follow regulations enforced by the Chinese government.
"Your company has violated the trust of loyal customers, and you have disrespected consumers like me who have counted on your brand for decades largely because of your cruelty-free policies. I will no longer be purchasing your products, and I will be sharing this disturbing information with everyone I know." ~ Facebook campaign letter
Some confusion exists about the cruelty-free designation, for example if a product displays a logo on a product package or company website claiming "not tested on animals", does that mean the final product is not tested on animals, or that neither the final product or the individual ingredients are not tested on animals? Clarification of that issue can be found on the PETA website. https://secure.peta.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=3859
London-based BUAV, the trading name of The Campaign to End All Animal Experiments, whose vision is to "Create a world where nobody wants or believes we need to experiment on animals" claims to lead the campaign to end all animal testing. BUAV sponsors the Leaping Bunny logo campaign and others correlated to ending animal cruelty, including Cargo Cruelty, an international effort to stop airlines transporting primates destined for research, and the REPLACE campaign which attempts to persuade regulators to accept validated alternatives to animal testing. http://www.buav.org/ More recognizable is the benign leaping bunny of The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics' (CCIC) Leaping Bunny Program which "administers a cruelty-free standard and the internationally recognized Leaping Bunny logo for companies producing cosmetic, personal care and household products."
http://www.leapingbunny.org/indexcus.php offers a Compassionate Shopping guide
You can search a 28-page list of cruelty - free products and companies, and take a pledge to be cruelty- free at PETA's site here. Avon, Mary Kay and Estee Lauder are not on PETA's "Companies that don't test on animals" list, but Estee Lauder's Aveda line is.
As an example of the power of the cruelty-free logo product designation, on June 6, 2012 Leaping Bunny campaign announced that Urban Decay products would no longer be certified as cruelty-free, and a mere month later, on July 7, 2012, Urban Decay regained designation after the company made the decision to cancel plans to sell its products in China—where animal testing is required.
AAVS American Anti-Vivisection Society, working to end the use of animals in science, makes this statement on their website's Types of Research page:
"The fields of psychology, military and space research tend to be particularly cruel for the animals involved. Researchers use animals because they can manipulate and experiment with animals in ways that are not acceptable in humans…" (i.e. dripping toxic irritants in eyes, forcing animals to ingest substances or applying the substance on the skin or fur) "…However, animals are not 'little people', and they suffer greatly in these studies, both physically and psychologically. Genetic engineering further aggravates the situation, consuming an excessive amount of animal life and promoting the view that animals are little more than 'tools' or 'commodities' that can be manipulated at will."
Stay tuned to see what outcome the Facebook campaign produces with Avon, Mary Kay and Estee Lauder.

xTreme Binary Bot Download
Enter your name and email to start downloading xTreme Binary Bot right at your inbox.
Extreme Binary Options is more than just a trading signals software, or binary options robot. It's a complete trading system that you can use to make money while learning and understanding how everything works.
First thing you'll notice after installation is that everything is visual!..you don't have to waste time calculating formulas or guessing what to do.
On the right side of your chart you will see the main screen of the software, on this screen you'll find important information about your account, plus market range in pips, and also instant analysis of market conditions. The large green/red diamond dots are the main signals that you need to focus on. Red diamond dot means that price is moving in a down trend, the best thing in this case is to open sell/put trades only. When you see green diamond dot, that means market started a bullish/up trend and it's best to open only buy/call trades.
The rest of the software are used to make sure that you only follow the most effective/powerful signals and get the best results. Let's see how each part works..
The Colored MA Line:
This is basically a trend line based on moving averages calculations. Red line means market is bearish/down trend. While green line shows a bullish/up trend in the market.
Trend Filter:
Trend filter works as an additional filter for your signals. Red bars are formed when market is bearish/down trend, and green bars are formed when market is bullish/up trend.
Last part of the system, is the Fibonacci support and resistance levels/zones. This is a very effective part of the system and it will show you the areas that price would usually reach, as well as reversal points. Green area, is where price is expected to reach in UP TRENDS. While red area is where price is expected to reach in DOWN TRENDS.

Before enlightening you with my wisdom let me just tell you how much I'm enjoying being on vacation after just recently finishing my exams. It's been a while since I've been able to blog or even do my daily beauty rounds. And while writing this post I decided to see if Beth had any reviews for the movie (Tashan) I will be seeing soon with a friend. Not only did she have a review, but her post has me laughing hysterically.
Back to beauty it is. I used to get suckered into advertising where companies used to promise extracts of exotic items. Companies pretty promise some magic extract that was taken from an almost extinct species of tree that produces a pearl-like (but it's not a pearl, that's why it's so special) substances only one a year and that too only according to an ancient Maya calendar. With their magical promises companies might as well be advertising this. So here's the first post in a series on how to interpret the marketing and understanding the ingredients.
Order of Ingredients:
When you read the ingredients of a product, look at the ingredients at the beginning of the list. The ingredients are listed in the order of their percentage. Take for example the ingredients in Cosmedicine Health Cleanse:
- Water/Eau, Sodium Lauroamphoacetate, Cyclomethicone, Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Isopropylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Butylparaben.
I usually look for where ingredients are placed after the basic formulation of whatever it is I'm trying to buy. In the Cosmedicine cleanser, the witch hazel extract is placed right after the foaming agents. This means that I have a decent chance of the witch hazel having an effect on the way the cleanser works. If the cleanser had a lot of different ingredients and witch hazel was placed towards the end of the list, chances are the witch hazel extract wouldn't have made a skin altering difference.
So when companies promise special extracts, look at where they are placed in the list of ingredients. Since companies often advertise these ingredients, the common term for them is usually listed in parentheses next to its Latin name. If not, I like checking up on ingredients here.
Knowing the complex terminologies is very hard but there are a few basic patterns I look for. For example, ingredients that end in '-cone' usually indicate some type of silicone product. A good idea is to check a cosmetic ingredients database if you have any doubts (I will compile a list of common and recurring patterns of ingredients used in skin care soon and post it).
Isolating Irritants:
The best thing about reading ingredients is the potential power (yes it is power to not have cystic acne because of a new cream) in identifying and avoiding ingredients that might irritate your skin. When I am trying out new products and can feel those suckers rising from under my skin (I'm talking about zits in case I wasn't clear), I first eliminate products that I know I do not break out from. After this, I compare the ingredients of the potential products and look for a recurring ingredient. I then check with my skin-friendly products to see if I could tolerate the ingredients or not. If the ingredients are not listed in any of my skin-friendly products, I check them out here. I now have a basic idea of what is causing the irritation.

The Royal Palace
Royal Palace ©
The Royal Palace is one of the principal attractions of Phnom Penh and contains the best examples of 20th century Khmer architecture in the city. The Royal Palace is the official residence of King Norodom Sihanouk. Set among the perfectly maintained gardens you can find the exquisite Throne Hall, the Elephant Pavilion where the king's elephants were kept, the Royal Treasury, and the Chan Chaya Pavilion which was made especially for performances of classical Cambodian dance. Although mostly off-limits to the public, the Silver Pagoda can be visited. This remarkable building is the highlight of the compound and takes its name from the floor of the temple, which is completely covered in silver tiles. The internal walls are decorated with frescoes depicting episodes of the Ramayana myth, painted in 1903 by 40 Khmer artists. It is also called the Pagoda of the Emerald Buddha, in tribute to the magnificent baccarat crystal image of the Emerald Buddha that sits in the centre on a gilt pedestal. There are other intricately carved Buddha images on display, notably the life-size solid gold statue that stands in front of the pedestal, decorated with 9,584 diamonds. Remember to dress conservatively and respectfully when visiting the Royal Palace, bare shoulders or legs are frowned upon within the complex.

Joshua Wallack is one of the main driving forces behind the just-announced Skyscraper polercoaster, which will start construction in 2015 and be completed the following year. Together with his father, David Wallack, he spoke with the media on June 5, detailing plans for the 570 foot tall roller coaster and the accompanying Skyplex entertainment complex.
Click the video accompanying this article for an interview with Joshua Wallack as he shares the reason his family chose International Drive and what families and thrill-seekers can expect from the new ride and the overall Skyplex attraction.
Skyplex will occupy prime real estate just off I-4, at the intersection of International Drive and Sand Lake Road. It will be just down the road from the Orlando Eye wheel, which opens in 2015 and is a comparatively small 425 feet tall, and even closer to Universal Orlando Resort.
The family is also developing a Mango's Tropical Cafe aross from the property. Their Miami location is extremely successful, and the easily accessible I-Drive location means the new Mango's will have the same potential.
If you'd like to see the entire press conference announcing the new venture, jump to this article.

HTC Flyer Android Gingerbread tablet has its specs leaked
Mobile World Congress 2011 is fast approaching, and you can bet that many interesting devices will get announced then. One of them seems to be HTC's first Android-powered tablet. At first rumored to be called HTC Scribe, it has since surfaced that its actual name will be HTC Flyer. Up until now, all we had was that name and a projected shipping time frame of March in the US.
Now, Norwegian site Amobil has received full specs from a source, and they have confirmed the following information with a second insider who is familiar with HTC's plans. It is, therefore, safe to say that these are pretty accurate details of HTC's first tablet.
HTC will, as rumored before, aim to ship this device very, very soon, possibly to get it on the market before its competitors' offerings. Therefore, the Flyer will ship with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, because Android 3.0 Honeycomb probably won't be finished by the time HTC's engineers need the software. The Flyer will ship with a modified version of HTC Sense, meant to give the UI a more "desktop feel".
The HTC Flyer will have a 7-inch touchscreen with a 1024×600 resolution. The processor powering it will be the Qualcomm MSM8255, the same unit that's currently in HTC's Android flagship, the Desire HD.
The new tablet will have HSPA support, with speeds up to 14.4 Mbps for download and 5.76 Mbps for upload. The Flyer will not be able to make voice calls. There will be an HDMI connector, as well as DLNA certification.
The main camera, on the back, will be 5-megapixel with LED flash and facial recognition, and the secondary camera for video calls will be a 1.3-megapixel unit.
The HTC Flyer will apparently be very lightweight, but no hard numbers are known yet. There will also be a very high capacity battery, but, again, no specific details are available yet. The Flyer will come with a capacitive stylus included.
It will start shipping in Europe sometime in April. HTC will also have a bigger-screened tablet ready in the second half of this year.

"RhondaRuth's Trip Back in Time to McCalla" McCalla by RhondaRuth
McCalla Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 57 photos
In Tannehill there are more than 1,500 acres preserved for hiking, camping and recreation. A miniature railroad chugs through the pines. From spring through fall, the blacksmith, miller and craftsmen demonstrate their trades in craft shops. They occupy restored pioneer cabins and artisans chat with visitors from their front porches or at their work in progress.
while we walk the trails at the Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park. What could you possibly be carrying in all those bags, Rhonda? Gold pieces? More like Iron Ore and camera equiptment, huh! Couldn't be makeup, huh? Ha

As hundreds of thousands gathered Wednesday in Washington D.C. to protest abortion, Pope Francis tweeted his support for them. According to Vatican Radio, the tweet was published in both Spanish and English. Pope Francis tweeted,
"I join the March for Life in Washington with my prayers. May God help us respect all life, especially the most vulnerable."
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to brave the cold weather Wednesday, to joint the March for Life, protesting the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, 40 years ago, which effectively legalized abortion in the U.S.
Among the groups taking part each year in the March for Life is Human Life International. It's Director, Joseph Meaney, said, "On the grass roots, I think the pro-life movement in the U.S. is, I think, very aggressively moving forward. One of the things, I find most interesting, is the way that young people have been polling consistently more pro-life and how the abortion industry itself, has been suffering a lot in recent years. The Pro-Life movement is the longest acting and most massive human rights movement in U.S. history, and one that is still going strong."
The March for Life marks the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision known as Roe v. Wade that effectively legalized abortion throughout the country. Since that time, over 55 million babies are estimated to have been legally killed in the U.S.

Nearly two decades ago, Phillip and Allison Brooks founded Calypso Café, crafting a menu of sweet and savory dishes inspired by their frequent visits to the Caribbean. Ever since, it's been a Nashville favorite, and with good reason.
The Calypso Café menu features a variety of inexpensive entrees, sides and snacks with a Jamaican flair. While you could already classify most of the choices as healthy, there are also vegetarian and vegan-friendly options available.
Chicken, beans, rice, corn and spices are all common elements of Caribbean cooking, and you'll find no shortage of them at Calypso Café.
Among the local favorites are the Jamaican Curried chicken, which features a mild sauce made with apples, onion and spices. Available with either white or dark meat, try pairing it up with the Bean and Corn Salad with cilantro vinaigrette and Calypso's famous Boija Muffins, a cornbread-based muffin with toasted coconut.
If you're looking for a fresh new twist on an old standby, try the Island Burger. Lean ground beef is seasoned with island spices and cooked on a rotisserie. On the side is a mouthwatering sweet BBQ sauce unlike anything you've tried before.
If you like it hot, Calypso also offers a spicy Jerk sauce to compliment their chicken dishes, or you can request it on the side with pretty much any meal.
You wouldn't expect to step in to such a colorful, fun atmosphere and not have a kid's menu. Calypso Café delivers here with five inexpensive options for the little ones, ranging from chicken, PB&J, nachos, and a unique spin on grilled cheese that comes in a pita pocket.
With so many healthy yet flavorful choices, there's something for everyone at Calypso Café. The price is right, with most dishes falling between $4 and $7 for a generous portion.
Best of all, Calypso serves up meals fast, making it ideal for weekday lunch, or takeout anytime.
Food is prepared fresh daily at a central kitchen by chief chef Emily Luffman, who makes arrangements for delivery to all five Nashville-area restaurants throughout the day.
This might explain why service is so fast, and why the flavors are so consistent no matter which location you choose.
"We're considered fast food service, with a dine-in atmosphere," says Luffman, who has been cooking professionally for 20 years.
Her favorite dish? "Try the Black Bean Salad," she says. It combines leaf lettuce, tortilla chips, and is topped with black beans, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream, and your choice of chicken, beef, or rice (Luffman is partial to the chicken).
Calypso's central kitchen concept makes them ideal for event catering. As Luffman points out, buffet-style catering is available for 30 or more guests, with as little as 3-5 days advance notice.
Calypso Café is one of those rare restaurants that seems to do everything right: fast and friendly service, lip-smackingly good food, healthy menu choices, and surprisingly low prices.
With five convenient locations, you're never more than a few minutes away from succulent Caribbean satisfaction.
Extra Morsels:
Founders Phillip and Allison Brooks are still involved in the day-to-day management and expansion of Calypso Café. Three of the five area locations are theirs, with two being franchises.
- While locals are quick to refer to it as simply "Calypso," the official brand is Couva Calypso Café. Explains Allison Brooks, "Couva is a town in Trinidad, which is the birthplace of Calypso music." The couple plans to keep the Calypso Café moniker in Tennessee, with Couva Calpyso trademarked for expansion plans out of state.

Two college friends learned they are sisters this week in a discovery that seems to defy all the odds. Mikayla Stern-Ellis and Emily Nappi were starting their freshman year together at Tulane University and quickly became best friends. It was only after the two realized how similar they were that they spoke with their mothers and discovered that their father was the same sperm donor for both girls. CNN News Day reports on this remarkable coincidence this Friday, Jan. 24, 2014, and how it brought these related students even closer together.
While good college friends acting like sisters isn't uncommon at all, an actual case of learning that your dearest companion is in fact your biological sister is one strange news story, to be sure. Yet earlier this month, Emily Nappi and Mikayla Stern-Ellis discovered through their new friendship that their bond was even more important than either realized. The two first began to suspect that they might be related when a striking number of similarities between the two began to occur at school.
Shortly afterward, both girls learned that they were conceived from the very same sperm donor, a Colombian man who had donated his genetic material to a Calfornia Cryobank. The sisters went from a chance meeting on Facebook to getting accepted into the same school, then finally learning that they were indeed blood-related.
According to the press release on these college friends sisters becoming even closer:
"Emily Nappi says both girls noticed they had a lot in common but "We just thought it was a joke until Winter break." That's when she says her mom felt there was too much coincidence. Nappi added that her mom read her the donor number and when she passed that information onto her friend the discovery was made."
"We always thought we looked exactly like our moms, but we look exactly like each other," Nappi says.
The college friends and sisters grew up in very different parts of California, yet the pair of siblings are less than seven months apart in terms of age. While Nappi has admitted that Tulane University was her first choice from the beginning, Stern-Ellis believes that it was fate that made her choose the school.
"I got a free application one day," she says. "There's no particular reason I chose Tulane, I just felt like I needed to go there."

Alice Meets Antoinette Tablescape (12 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
This was my first opportunity to work with local vendors in southeastern Oklahoma to create my very own wedding tablescape and I was extremely excited! I knew I wanted to use some of my favorite colors of the season, blush and gold. I'd seen this color palette used in many formal tablescapes, but I wanted to give it an effortless, whimsical feel. Think Marie Antoinette and Alice in Wonderland with a touch of hippie.
For months, I have been infatuated with the voluminous, feathered Marilyn chair skirts from Wildflower Linens and this was the perfect excuse to use them! As I began putting the table together with strictly blush and gold colors, it somehow fell flat of the funky vibe I had envisioned. It needed more color! The moment I chose to add a satin turquoise linen, all the colors began to pop. I had my heart set on using a tufted vintage sofa on one side of the banquet table to evoke a mismatched elegance. Luckily, Lisa at Studio One Photography was kind enough to allow me to borrow her pale pink beauty that worked like a charm with my tablescape. I added a few pillows with gold sequins and shabby chic roses to cozy up the couch. To mimic the look of a rose topiary, I asked Tammy from Bokchito Flower and Gifts to create a looser version with roses and hydrangea to be placed on top of the vintage gold candelabra, which I had adorned with strands of crystals. For the placesettings, I gathered vintage china from family and friends to create an eclectic look. The teacup and saucers have been passed down in my family for generations and they were the perfect showpiece to hold the precious gold and pink macaroons provided by Lauran at Stacked Studio Cake Designs.
I love using items I already own to enhance my tablescapes and make the most of my budget. Most of the clients I work with do not have enormous wedding budgets, but I'm passionate about creating memorable, personalized, and breathtaking weddings on any budget. To spice up the glassware, I decided to add crystals which I had left over from a chandelier in my home. They came out so wonderfully unique and luxurious and didn't cost a dime. The textured silk napkins were actually pillow covers I folded into thirds. The mercury glass hurricane vases from TJ Maxx were adorned with gold ribbon and sparkly Christmas ornaments. To bring in my touch of hippie, I used long, white feather earrings with a gold and rhinestone detail to tuck under the plates and trail down the napkins.
We chose to shoot my tablescape in a local field to elicit the countryside. I suspended a chandelier from a tree branch to float above my tablescape and left everything else up to the surrounding nature! It was such a beautiful location, but comfortable enough to sit down for a picnic. We even had a few neighborhood pets join the shoot and enjoy a macaroon or two.

Given the function
$$ \int\int p(x|a,b)p(a)p(b) \, d(a) \, d(b) $$
I would like to integrate out $a$ and $b$ to be left with $x$ only. As far as numeric methods go, I understand how to do it, but is there a computational approach to it? By that I mean an algorithm you could encode on a computer that would approximate that?
I was thinking about a simpler example
$$\int p(x|a) p(a) \, d(a) $$
and thought to take $N$ $x$ values , let's say $\langle 1,2,3,\ldots,N\rangle$ and integrate for a fixed $x$, all values of $a$. In a sense, I change the function to be in terms of a and not $x$, to get back to univariate function. Then, I can combine it using some interpolation to make approximately continuous $p(x)$. Is that a good approach?

Fitness for less: Low-cost ways to shape up
PHOENIX - Want to work out but think you can't afford it? Think again. Consider these low-cost alternatives to a pricey gym membership.
If the only thing keeping you from starting a fitness program is the cost of a gym membership, here's good news. You don't need to join a gym to take physical activity seriously. Plenty of low-cost alternatives can help you get fit without breaking your budget. These tips can help you get started.
Take advantage of everyday opportunities
You don't need a gym or special equipment for an aerobic workout. With a little foresight, activities you may take for granted can become part of your fitness routine.
Step it up. Take a brisk walk every day, whether it's in your neighborhood or a local mall. Take the stairs instead of the elevator or make a full workout of climbing the stairs. Sneak in extra steps whenever you can by parking farther away from your destination.
Make housework a workout. Mow the lawn, weed the garden, rake the leaves or shovel the snow. Even indoor activities such as vacuuming and scrubbing count as a workout if you increase your heart rate.
Play with your kids. If you have children, don't just watch them play. Join them for a game of tag or kickball. Walk them to the park. Dance. Take a family bike ride. Go to a community pool. Even if you don't swim, you can enjoy time in the water or walk in the shallow end. Do your kids play video games? If so, plug in with them and swing a virtual tennis racket or do a little boxing.
Improvise with household items
If you'd rather not spend a penny on exercise equipment, use ordinary household items for various upper and lower body exercises:
Canned goods. Many canned goods can serve double duty as hand weights.
Chair or step stool. Use a chair for support when doing exercises such as leg curls. A low, sturdy step stool can become exercise equipment if you use it for step training — an aerobic exercise resembling stair climbing.
Consider a modest investment
If you're able to spend a little, you can find inexpensive products to add variety to your fitness routine:
Dumbbells. Use these small, hand-held weights to strengthen your upper body. They're available in many sizes.
Exercise DVDs and apps. Create the feel of a health club aerobics class in your own living room — or choose a program that'll help you improve your strength and flexibility.
Fitness ball. A fitness ball looks like a large beach ball. You can do many core exercises, including abdominal crunches, with a fitness ball. You can also use a fitness ball to improve your flexibility and balance.
Jump-ropes. Skipping rope can be a great cardiovascular workout.
Resistance tubing. These stretchy tubes offer weight-like resistance when you pull on them. Use the tubes to build strength in your arms and other muscles. Choose from varying degrees of resistance, depending on your fitness level.
Be a savvy shopper
If you're interested in a specific exercise class or piece of equipment, shop around to find the best deal.
Check out your local recreation department. Many recreation departments offer discounted fitness classes to local residents. If you live near a high school or college with a fitness center, ask if the facility is available to community members.
Buy used equipment. Some sporting goods stores specialize in used equipment — or you can check out listings for exercise equipment in the local newspaper. You may also find great deals on used exercise equipment online. Just make sure the cost of shipping won't put the item out of your budget.
Share costs with a friend. Trade exercise videos or DVDs with a friend so that neither of you gets bored doing the same workout over and over again. Find a personal trainer who'll let you share the cost of a session with a friend or two.
Remember, getting in shape doesn't need to be expensive. Don't get caught up in memberships or purchases you can't afford. Instead, concentrate on your fitness goals — and how to achieve them without breaking your budget.

College Hockey:Brown Shows They Belong, Defeats Yale 3-2
Bears Take 1-0 Series Lead
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Mike Clemente made 37 saves while Jeff Buvinow, Aaron Volpatti, and Bobby Farnham each had a goal and an assist to lead the 11th-seeded Brown Bears over the top-seeded Yale Bulldogs in game one of their ECAC quarterfinal matchup by the score of 3-2.
Brown coach Brendan Whittet had some stubble after Browns game one win last Friday at RPI and said it was not his plan; he simply had not had the time to shave. After the Bears game one victory before 2,851 tonight at Ingalls Rink, it had become a partially-groomed playoff beard.
Im superstitious now, he chuckled.
It was a short week of practice for Brown after their three-game upset at RPI last weekend. They took Monday off after the long trip home from Troy, practiced three days, and then bused to New Haven Thursday night.
Yet there were no signs of fatigue or lack of preparation. Before the series, Coach Brendan Whittet had said that his team could not get into an up and down type of game the way they had in their two previous games against Yale, a 6-5 overtime loss at home and a no less thrilling 8-5 defeat in New Haven.
The plan was to play the same style of tough, defensive hockey they had in beating RPI a week ago. They did. And it worked.
Yale had 12 days of rest since they closed out the regular season by losing at Quinnipiac. They also had plenty of time to adjust their forward lineup, heralded as the deepest in the league, to the loss of its leader, senior winger Sean Backman.
The rust was evident, as were the effects of losing the poster boy for the Yale hockey turnaround. It is the first time this season that the Elis have lost consecutive games.
The early indications were that this one was not to be another barnburner, yet still a grudge match. The teams skated into the locker room scoreless after a very evenly contested first period, with 10 shots apiece. Billy Blase and Mike Clemente both looked sharp in goal.
He was outstanding, Whittet would say of Clemente. And he has been down the stretch here. He was unbelievable last weekend. He was great tonight. He is in a zone. Hes seeing pucks, pucks are hitting him, and hes our best player.
It was an inauspicious beginning to the second for Blase however, as Brown would score twice in the first 64 seconds to take a lead they never relinquished. Jack Maclellan won the faceoff to start the period back to Jeff Buvinow who sent the puck on net from the red line. It floated toward the Yale net, but Blase knew he was going to have to play a short-hop so he went down to get his body in front. Thats when things went wrong.
I pretty much saw it the whole way, Blase said after the game. To be honest, it was just a tough bounce. You ask me now, but I dont regret the way I played it. It was kind of in front of me to the left a little bit and I just went down. It just went quick off the hop high glove side. Usually pucks just die down there so thats why I went into butterfly.
The second goal, 57 seconds later, actually occurred because Blase was aggressively coming out to challenge a shot by Buvinow from the slot. The shot ended up sailing wide right but bounced off the boards to Volpatti on the other side of the net and Blase had no time to retreat to the crease before he buried it behind him.
Yale would have chances to come back. They had seven power plays to Browns three, generating their best chances on or just after the man advantage. It was not until their sixth attempt though, 5:01 into the third, that the Bulldogs were successful. Brian O'Neill was skating right to left behind the net and fed it out in front to Dignard streaking up toward the back door post from his defense position. He buried the one-timer to make it a one-goal game.
Yale coach Keith Allain put how he thought his team played succinctly.
I dont we executed well enough offensively and I dont think we were as sound defensively as we need to be. I thought there were spurts where we played the way wed like to play, but we didnt do it for the power play enough, or long enough.
Brown quickly regained a two-goal lead at 6:18 on a 2-on-1, one of an abnormally large number of odd-man rushes created by Bruno. Volpatti, forced to cut to the middle by a challenging defenseman, took the initial shot on the backhand. Blase could not hang on to the rebound and Farnham cleaned up from the right of the crease.
Theyre a very aggressive team and thats something we talked about going into this series, Volpatti said. We wanted to counter-attack that just by chipping pucks. I think we had success especially in the second period just chipping pucks behind them, flooding, and getting support.
From that point on, Brown looked like a very confident team. There was no longer a sense of luck to their success. They knew they belonged.
I thought we played very confident, where as in the third against RPI I think we got up 3-0 and were kind of hoping. We werent hoping tonight. We were going to make it happen. We are playoff tough. We played last weekend against a very good hockey team and we learned some lessons. The major lesson we learned is we dont want to play passive; its not prevent defense.
Yale had one more chance to get back in the game. Alex Dell called Buvinow for a five minute hit from behind and game misconduct after a hit on Broc Little in the corner at 10:26 of the third. The call seemed excessive, as Little skated away unscathed, and it seemed that Little had been crouching down to brace for the check thus causing contact up high.
The major penalty was broken up by a holding call on Mark Arcobello and Brown had little trouble killing off the other three minutes.
In those situations, youve got to get yourself out of the situation you caused, Whittet said. I thought our guys did a good job of chasing down a puck and creating a penalty.
Allain saw it differently. (The referees) took us off the major 40 seconds into it. So they obviously didnt like that call and wanted to make sure they took it back.
The hosts made it a little interesting late when they scored an extra-attacker goal with 38 seconds to go as Denny Kearney deflected home a Tom Dignard shot from the point. It was too little too late though.

The free fall acceleration of an object under earth's gravity is directed toward?
When the same amount of force is applied to two different masses, the smaller mass will be accelerated ____ than the larger?
closed as too localized by David Z♦ Mar 1 '13 at 6:54
This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
1) The center of the earth. As Wouter pointed out this is really supposed to be the center of mass of the Earth which differs only slightly from the center.*
2) The smaller mass will be accelerated more. This follows from $F=m a$. At constant $F$, smaller $m$ implies larger $a$.
*Since the Earth is not a perfect sphere it does not have a center as such. But the point is moot anyway.
