Misty Rowe Movies and Career Information
Jun 01, 1950
Jun 01, 1950
Mistella "Misty" Rowe is an American actress. She is most known for portraying the perky lisping blonde on the American television series Hee Haw for 19 years. She also starred in the show's 1978 spinoff Hee Haw Honeys, cast with then-newcomer Kathie Lee Gifford as the singing daughters of diner owners Lulu Roman and Kenny Price; it also spawned a national road show. She and several other of the "honeys" were notable for performing in cleavage inducing halter tops, "Daisy Duke" shorts, and country-style minidresses. Rowe was often Junior Samples' assistant during the used car comedy segments of Hee Haw. She is also known for portraying Marilyn Monroe in two films, Minnie Pearl in another, Maid Marian in Mel Brooks' When Things Were Rotten, Patsy Cline in a Broadway musical, being a 1976 Playboy model, and appearing in early seasons of the classic TV sitcom Happy Days as Wendy, a carhop at Arnold's Drive-In. Other films include National Lampoon's Class Reunion and Meatballs Part II and the TV movie SST: Death Flight. A mid-80s TV appearance included Airwolf as a country & western singer. She also appeared for a time on the game show The Cross-Wits.

Kappel also emphasized the importance of being open and honest with residents and officials, and providing them with complete information about public works matters, to establish and foster trust in the relationship. "They appreciate honesty, forthrightness, and clarity in the material you present to them," he said. "They rely on us to give them the information they need to make wise, informed decisions."
Jay Walter, public works director of San Luis Obispo, Calif., also said that building a relationship of mutual trust makes an appointed official's job a lot easier. "When you don't have to worry about the elected officials undermining or mistrusting you, a lot more can be accomplished," he said. "I feel fortunate that we have a council that trusts the staff is doing a good job for the residents of our city, so they make resources available for us to continue doing that."
Neil Dobler is director of public works for Topeka, Kan. During his 11-year tenure with the city, he has seen how working in a spirit of cooperation with local government can help ensure a project's success, as was the case with replacement of a deteriorating bridge across the Kansas River.
"The estimated cost was $40 million which, if funded by our normal capital improvement plan, would have eliminated all other projects for three or four years," he said. The city council directed Dobler's department to create a sales tax initiative, working with the county and Chamber of Commerce. The efforts led to a county-wide referendum to finance the bridge and several major traffic ways. The department also worked with local leaders to secure $17 million in federal funding for the project.
The headaches public works leaders typically suffer from during a complex project also can be reduced by maintaining open dialogue with town officials and constituents as the job progresses. For example, Wauwatosa continues to keep citizens informed on the progress of the Hart Park project with frequent communications, including open meetings and updates on the city's Web site; sharing the news with the people the project affects has helped minimize grumbling.
Another example is the Depot Park project in Gainesville, Fla., a large-scale revamping of a federally designated brown-field. Formerly a train depot and yard downstream from a coal gasification facility, it is being transformed into a stormwater park with trails, gardens, and a skate-board park. Remediation alone is projected at $15 million. However, Gainesville director of public works Teresa Scott said that while the project has involved multiple governmental agencies and property owners, communicating openly with all parties involved about the project's progress and fiscal responsibility has helped kept the process flowing smoothly.
Not even the sleepiest of little bedroom communities is without its share of conflicts, and inevitably a public works director will find himself standing before a riled-up, red-faced official making a public display on one issue or another. The key to surviving these tussles, whether they involve matters small (i.e. placement of a stop sign) or large (funding a significant streets project), is to maintain grace under pressure.
On the rare occasions that Kappel is confronted with a bellowing alderman who's being less than kind to him, he never meets insults with insults. "You always want to show that person the respect due to that position," he said—even if that person in the position is being less than respectful to you. Instead, he advised, listen politely and respond calmly, and save more animated discussion for at a later time, and a less-public setting.
It is important to maintain your cool in public, where constituents and reporters might bear witness to any outburst and come away with a lingering negative opinion of you and your staff.
"No one comes out looking good in a public yelling match," said Kappel. If you find yourself at odds with the mayor or a council member, he advised, don't let their ire get to you. Instead, listen politely, answer calmly, and only take the gloves off behind closed doors.

DENVER – Senior Stephanie Fogle dropped in a team-high 21 points to lead the Colorado Mines women's basketball team to a 76-71 victory over Regis on Saturday evening at the Regis Fieldhouse in Denver.
The Orediggers (8-14, 7-9 RMAC) captured the win behind a big 44-point second half that saw the team shoot 52.4 percent from the floor (11-of-28), 54.5 percent from 3-point range (6-of-11) and 76.2 percent from the foul line (16-of-21).
Mines took an early lead in a very competitive first half, going up 8-2 just 1:47 into the game on an old fashioned 3-point basket by Fogle. A 6-0 run by Regis through the next three minutes brought the two teams even at 8-8.
CSM then reclaimed the lead on a 3-pointer by sophomore Courtney Gallo but Regis continued to fight, eventually retying the game at 19-19 with 8:10 remaining.
The Rangers then claimed their first lead of the ballgame on a 3-pointer by Tae'lor Purdy with 7:30 remaining – a lead they would not relinquish the remainder of the first half in heading to the break with a 36-32 lead.
Mines would battle its way back to start the second half and took its first lead of the second stanza on a 3-pointer by Fogle to go up 44-42 with 14:39 to play. CSM would continue to hold the lead until a layup by Purdy with 7:29 remaining tied up the game at 53-53.
A layup by Taylor Helbig on the next possession gave CSM the lead back at 55-53, and CSM continued to increase its lead to as much as eight points over the next four minutes.
A 3-pointer by Brandi Collins with 38 seconds remaining would trim the Mines' lead to three points at 73-70, but that would be as close as the Rangers would get the rest of the way.
Fogle recorded her 21 points on 5-of-13 shooting from the floor, including an 8-of-9 effort from the foul line.
Angie Charchalis posted 16 points on 4-of-8 shooting from the field with matching 4-of-6 lines from both the foul line and 3-point range. The redshirt junior also added a team-high eight rebounds and led the team with three assists.
Allie Grazulis and Helbig posted 11 and 10 points, respectively, to close out the four Orediggers in double figures.
CSM will next be in action on Monday when they travel to face No. 3 Metro State at 5 p.m. in Denver.

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. -- Jimmy Graham didn't want to talk about his past Wednesday. His troubled background, he said, was well documented. The high-profile four-year, $40 million contract he signed last month was old news.
Graham was not in a reflective mood as he stood at the podium and answered questions from reporters an hour or so after the Saints' training camp practice. Instead, his focus was on the precious present and the foreseeable future -- not the past.
"Sometimes you reflect," he said. "... But I've been pretty busy here."
In fact, Graham has been busy for most of the year. In January he completed one of the best seasons by a tight end in NFL history, earning first-team All-Pro honors. A month later he played in his second Pro Bowl. A month after that the Saints made him their franchise player. Then in July, he signed his landmark contract, replete with a $12 million signing bonus.
Shortly after signing the deal, Graham told the Saints' website that he was "beyond excited" and "extremely happy to get back to" football. Otherwise, he's said little about the controversial five-month ordeal. He briefly addressed the subject Wednesday but clearly did so grudgingly.
"For me, it was less about the money; it felt good to be wanted," Graham said at the Advocare Sports Performance Center at The Greenbrier. "It felt good to know what you're future is going to be. For someone like me, that means a lot."
Security and loyalty aren't just buzzwords to Graham. He values them more than most because of his rocky upbringing.
Indeed, to truly appreciate where Graham is in his life today, it's important to know where he came from.
At the age of 9, his stepfather dropped him at the door of social services because Graham's mother wouldn't turn over the $98 child support check she received each month. Two years later, his mother dropped him off at a group home, where, for two years, he was beaten up and forced to live in daily fear because of the older kids and bullies in the house.
At 14, he finally found a loving home under the roof of foster parent Becky Vinson, but it was far from glamorous. He often went to bed hungry and had to wear a jacket to bed and sleep in the living room near the stove because the trailer had no heat.
"When I was a kid, I used to always think what my worth was, and I guess $98 was what my worth was when I was 9," Graham told ESPN. "I considered myself the kid with the 1 percent chance to make it."
Graham made good on that one percent chance and today has definitely made it. But he hasn't forgotten the arduous path he traveled to stardom or those that supported him along the way.
"Obviously I know where I came from, and I know how hard it was to get here and so I'm going to cherish every moment of it and do everything in my power to never go back," Graham said.
When you revisit Graham's background and hear him briefly reflect on the journey, you can't help but think back to the unfair criticism he received during his contract negotiations. Those that labeled him as greedy or criticized him for being selfish probably never had to scuffle for scraps or face the ignominy of abandonment.
The ugly slings and arrows reminded me of Everlast's poignant ballad, "What It's Like": "God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes. 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues."
"I think this offseason was a good grounding point for me, just dealing with everything by myself with only a couple of people in my corner," Graham said. "That will keep you real grounded, and it keeps you focused. All I did this offseason was workout and fly. I'm a simple guy. Nothing has changed. I'm still the same person I was four years ago."
Graham's rags-to-riches story is one of the most compelling in sports. He should be celebrated, not condemned.

Federal Research:
Guidance for Equipment Acquired Under Grants and Cooperative Agreements

Additional Materials:
- Full Report:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on: (1) the guidance the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institutes of Health, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration used to ensure that the recipients of grants and cooperative agreements for scientific research provide management controls over the equipment they acquire with federal funds; and (2) whether four NSF recipients from the Washington, D.C., area had acquired equipment under 14 awards of varying dollar amounts.
GAO noted that: (1) each of the three agencies generally allows the recipients of grants and cooperative agreements to have title to the purchased equipment, but also provides some guidance on how recipients are to account for this equipment; (2) after the grants and cooperative agreements are awarded, these agencies do not maintain records showing which equipment was actually purchased; (3) however, the agencies have some assurance that the equipment was in fact purchased because these organizations have audits to ensure compliance with the award agreements, and these audits, together with the recipients' proposals, identify the equipment that the recipients proposed acquiring; and (4) GAO reviewed the documents showing that the recipients GAO visited had acquired the equipment specified in their proposals, and GAO saw the equipment either being used or awaiting installation.

GPS is ON for one orbit, but we dont think we got a good TLE upload, so GPS is searching the sky (at 17,500 MPH too). So that posit was the position of our parking lot the last time the GPS was on over 2 months ago. Notice the field after the "W" shows no satelites. "0". But we did get data confirming that it remembers the approximate time. Fingers crossed. We will try once again on next pass to upload TLE's then shut it down on the next, our last, orbit of the day.

Medication errors can have a significant impact; too little medication will not adequately treat a medical problem, while too much can produce harmful, and even toxic side effects. When our nation was founded, we adopted the English system of measurement, which any scientist would deem illogical. England, like most of the planet, has adopted the metric system. A new study has found that failure to adopt the milliliter has resulted in medication errors among children. For example, a teaspoon is an arbitrary amount, while 5 milliliters is a precise amount. Another study in the same journal reviewed the impact of medication errors and offered suggestions for improvement. Both studies were published online on July 14 in the journal Pediatrics.
The first study was conducted by researchers at New York University School of Medicine and Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine. The authors noted that adoption of the milliliter as the preferred unit of measurement has been proposed to improve the clarity of medication instructions. For example, they explain that teaspoon and tablespoon units may unintentionally result in nonstandard kitchen spoon use. Therefore, they evaluated the relationship between the unit used and parental medication; they also examined whether nonstandard instruments facilitated this relationship.
The study group comprised 287 English- or Spanish-speaking children whose children were prescribed liquid medications in two emergency departments. A medication error was defined as: error in knowledge of prescribed dose, error in observed dose measurement, compared to intended or prescribed dose. The error threshold was a greater than 20% deviation. The data was subjected to statistical analysis and adjusted for parent age, language, country, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, education, health literacy (via the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults); child age, and chronic disease.
The researchers were found that medication errors were common; 39.4% of parents made an error in measurement of the intended dose and 41.1% made an error in the prescribed dose. In addition, 16.7% used a nonstandard instrument. Compared with parents who measured medications in milliliters, parents who used teaspoon or tablespoon units had twice the likelihood of making a measurement error in the intended dose (42.5% vs. 27.6%; 2.3-fold increased risk). In regard to prescribed dose, the percentages were 45.1% vs. 31.4% (19-fold increased risk). As expected, parents with low health literacy and non–English speakers made more errors. The authors concluded that their findings support a milliliter-only standard to reduce medication errors.
The second study was conducted by researchers at: Children's Hospital at Montefiore, Bronx, New York; Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina; Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland; and University of California, San Francisco East Bay, Oakland, California. The study authors note that medication errors cause significant morbidity and mortality in children. Therefore, they conducted a study to determine the effectiveness of interventions to reduce pediatric medication errors. They performed a meta-analyses on comparable studies. (A meta-analysis is a compilation of data from a number of studies to clarify a point.)
The researchers identified pertinent studies from PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and the Cumulative Index to Nursing Allied Health Literature. Studies were included it they contained peer-reviewed original data in any language that evaluated an intervention to reduce medication errors in children. A total of 274 full-text articles were reviewed; 63 were included in the study. Only 1% of studies were conducted at community hospitals, 11% were conducted in outpatient clinics, 10% reported preventable adverse drug events, 10% examined administering errors, 3% examined dispensing errors, and none reported cost-effectiveness data. The authors noted that these percentages suggested persistent research gaps.
The investigators found that variation existed in the methods, definitions, outcomes, and rate determinations for all studies; furthermore, many were found to have a significant risk of bias. Twenty-six studies (41%) involved computerized provider order entry; however, a meta-analysis was not performed because of a difference of methods used for data entry. They found that a computerized system reduced errors. A comparison of computerized provider order entry with clinical decision support versus studies without clinical decision support reported a 36% to 87% reduction in prescribing errors; furthermore, studies of preprinted order sheets revealed a 27% to 82% reduction in prescribing errors.
The authors concluded that pediatric medication errors can be reduced; however, they were unclear regarding what optimal interventions should be. They recommended that future research should focus on understudied areas, use standardized definitions and outcomes, and evaluate cost-effectiveness.
Take home message:
Parents have little control over intervention methods by healthcare professionals and medical facilities; however, they can insist on receiving pediatric medication instructions in milliliters. Many liquid pediatric medications come with a dispenser measured in milliliters; if not, one can be purchased at little cost. Also, make sure that the correct dosage is measured. Hold the container at eye level and sight along the measurement bars.

Scots Dumpy Chicken (Bakies, Crawlers, Creepers)
Bakies Crawlers Creepers
Breed Club SecretaryMrs Hamilton-Gould
Tower Fields, Tusmore Rd, Souldern, Bicester,
HistoryDespite being bred in Scotland for over a hundred years; and the fact that it had probably been around much longer than that This breed was nearly extinct, They were originally known as Crawlers and Creepers because of their very short legs. Fowls of this description were described as early as 1678 in Britain. Similar birds existed since 900 A.D. and were probably ibrought by Phoenician traders. In Europe there are similar breeds the German Creeper and the French Courtes Pattes.
CharacteristicsAll the breeds have extremely short legs with the Dumpy standard requiring shanks of no more than 1 .5 inches (3.75 cm). Unfortunately the Dumpy will revert back to a longer legged type and if the shorter legged birds are regularly bred together they develop a lethal gene, where approximately 25% of the eggs will be infertile, 25% give long legged chicks and 50% short legged chicks similar to the lethal gene in crested birds.
The are available in Black, Cuckoo (Light grey with dark grey bands), White, Brown, Gold and Silver. In all varieties the eyes are red and feet are white except in the black and cuckoo where they are black and mottled respectively.

Count Basie: Tickle Toe ¢ as heard in Woody Allen's StardustĀMemories (1980)
Tickle Toe
Count Basie (piano)
The Lester Young Story (Proper Box 8)
Count Basie (piano),
15-piece band featuring Buck Clayton (trumpet), Lester Young (tenor sax), Count Basie (piano), Jo Jones (drums).
Recorded: New York, March 19, 1940
Rating: 96/100 (learn more)
Lester Young grew up in a carnival, where he played in his dad's band and learned from the geeks it was okay to be different. Coming of age, Lester departed from the tenor sax's prevailing masculinity. With his lighter, cooler tone, he hovered angelically above the Swing Era's insistent rhythms with gliding, melodious solos that left him and his listeners poised, observes musicologist Scott DeVeaux, ōto savor the pleasant ambiguities of the moment.ö This trackŚhalf corny big-band clichķs, half serpentine forays anticipating bopŚis a fascinating glimpse of 1930s jazz dipping a toe in the ticklish uncertainties of modernism.

For Jeremy Abbott it was the skate of a lifetime as he gave a spectacular performance to win the men's title— his second straight — at the 2010 U.S. Championships in Spokane, Wash.
In the process he punched his ticket to the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. Likely joining him will be the competition's silver medalist, Evan Lysacek, and bronze medalist Johnny Weir. The official announcement will be made later tonight, but it seems unlikely U.S. Figure Skating officials will deviate from the final standings.
UPDATE: U.S. Figure Skating President Patricia St. Peter made it official during the press conferences when she told the men's medalists to look at their cell phones to which congratulatory messages announcing their selections to the U.S. Olympic team had been sent. Then she added: "We are ready to take on the world; great job."
Skating last, Abbott notched 175.81 for his free skate to to "Symphony No. 3 in C minor" by Camille Saint-Saens and an overall mark of 263.66 points. Abbott skated with grace, speed and technical prowess tonight. He landed a quadruple toe early, a triple Axel-triple toe combination and a three-jump combo later in the program. All looked effortless.
"I am speechless. I am so happy," Abbott said to open the press conference. When asked how he felt after hitting his opening quad, Abbott responded: "It was business as usual. I still had seven jumping passes and six triples left. There was no way I could celebrate at that point."
The crowd rose to its feet as Abbott finished his performance with a scratch spin. He pumped his fist in excitement a second later. The Olympic Games in February will be his first.
Lysacek took a risk by putting a quad into his free skate to "Scheherazade" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov for the first time this season. The two-time U.S. champion (2007, '08) paid for it. He fell hard on the move but picked himself up and delivered a solid program with one other very notable miscue, a very shaky landing of his triple Axel-double toe combo. He scored 154.94 for the program, the third best score of the night.
Lysacek was 25 points behind Abbott for the competition, but the reigning World champion claimed silver in Spokane with 238.63. "I made several changes to my free skate. I'm glad and happy to have the opportunity to try them out. Not everything went the way I wanted it to, obviously," he said. "I have a lot of work to do. I have mixed feelings right now. ... I am so honored to be part of a second Olympic team I am saving my Olympic skate for than right moment."
After the short program, Weir had a 10-point lead over Adam Rippon who placed fourth in short skate. But it was Ryan Bradley that put down a stellar free skate to shake things up and leave the ending up in the air until Abbott completed his program.
But in the end, Weir (who went into the free skate 13 points ahead of Bradley) did enough to claim the third spot with an overall score of 232.09. Skating to a program named "Fallen Angels" (by various musical artists), he hit a triple-Axel in combination early but popped his second planned triple Axel. A three-time U.S. champion (2004, '05 and '06), Weir held it together, though, and gave, if somewhat tame, a graceful performance. He scored 148.58 points for the program, good enough to put him six points ahead of Bradley overall who placed fourth with 225.97 points.
"I agree with Evan. I have mixed feelings too about my performance tonight, I have lots of things to be proud of and lots of things I wished hadn't happen," Weir said. I suppose deep down inside I am saving that clean, amazing and perfect program for a certain time. Buy my costume looked pretty and did is happy about that."
Lysacek and Weir were Olympians in 2006. Lysacek placed fourth and Weir fifth in Torino. (Check out Weir's reality TV series on Sundance Mondays, starting Jan. 18, at 10:30 p.m.)
Bradley gave a very entertaining performance to Baroque era chamber music and nailed two quads. But he left off one revolution off of what was a planned triple Axel, his only error. He placed second in the free skate with a score of 155.34 and could not climb far enough back from his sixth-place standing after the short program to land in the top 3.
Rippon, who looks to be the future of U.S. figure skating, gave a graceful and solid performance but he just didn't have enough technical merit to get by the top guns. He was fourth in the free skate with 152.16 points and fifth overall (225.07).
The U.S. Championships are now just half over. Next weekend, the ladies and ice dance events will be held at the Spokane Arena.

The Houston Dynamo overcame a red card ejection of defender Kofi Sarkodie in the 82nd minute earning a 0-0 draw with the Philadelphia Union on Saturday afternoon in the City of Brotherly Love. The win snapped the Dynamo's winless streak at three as they head to New York for a mid-week match against the Red Bulls.
The Dynamo's strong defensive effort marked the return of centerback David Horst as the orange came through with one stop after another including one from Sarkodie's face thirty minutes before he was shown the red card for delay of game.
Offensively, head coach Dominic Kinnear's squad had no less than three excellent scoring opportunities. Forward Will Bruin hit the post in the 38th minute, Ricardo Clark accidentally blocked away a Horst header in the box on another and then Union keeper Zac MacMath stopped a Clark blast to keep the game scoreless.
The Dynamo head to New York looking to build on this road point before returning to Houston and BBVA Compass Stadium on Sunday April 27, 2014 against the Portland Timbers. Kick-off is slated for 2p.m. CDT.

Didn't Manchin have an A+ rating from the NRA at one time? Wondering what changed? I'd say "follow the money".
Our Senator Vitter is a strong proponent for 2A, though he's not on that filibuster list? Our other Senator Landrieu, against the overall wishes of her constituents, I'd say she's probably leaning "anti-gun" and going along the party lines. However, she's up for reelection in 2014 and in a tight spot. I hope we can finally get rid of her then.
I hope that 2014 becomes a "2A Revolution" during those elections. However, we can't just sit back and hope it happens, we have to step forward and MAKE it happen. Get involved in the campaign of someone you can support. Donate your time and money, these days our single vote isn't enough. The change is up to us, we have to outwork the competition.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
I have been haranguing Mitch McConnell to join these thirteen.

McConnell to Filibuster Reid Gun Control Bill | RedState
Hey, we got one of 'em!
Gotta Fly or Gonna Die
That's my question. Like McCain (with his recent dithering comments), altogether too many are slaves to the process irrespective of principle and constitutionality.
"Shall Not Be Infringed" apparently means little to nothing, to 87 of 100 sitting senators. That's an appalling statistic.

Supposedly Manchin has an "A" rating from the NRA. That's likely to change cuz he and another Republican Senator (can't remember the name) are trying to work out some sort of modified UBC that would exempt some sales between hunters or close relatives.

Sent both my senators an email. What a disgrace they have not joined the fight. I got letters from both of them stating they would uphold the 2nd amendment back in January, we'll see how their memories work.
As Benjamin Franklin left the hall in Philadelphia, he was asked, What kind of government have you given us, Dr. Franklin? He replied: A republic, if you can keep it.
The answer to Senator McCain's questioning why the filibusterer, and asking "what are we afraid of?"
Answer is simple Senator...
They are not afraid, they are the only ones that understand that the so called "gun control" bills/amendments are nothing more than a prelude to gun registration and eventual confiscation......

"I want to give a lot of credit to Arizona State for how they played the game," head coach Niya Butts said. "Our first half was certainly not one of our better halves. We couldn't get stops when we needed them and they shot almost 60 percent. We came out in the second half and cut it to six at one point. We made a game of it and got to the free throw line 20 times. There is certainly something to be said for that but at the end of the day, we didn't do enough to get the win."
Junior guard Davellyn Whyte led the Cats in scoring for the 17th time this season with 17 points. She also had five rebounds, one assist and three steals. Sophomore guard Candice Warthen collected 11 points, four rebounds and two assists. Senior guard Reiko Thomas scored 10 points and chipped in with three rebounds and one assist.
Turnovers were the tale of the day as UA gave up 17, good for 21 Sun Devil points. At the other end, UA only managed four points off 12 ASU mishaps. The Cats were barely edged out at the boards, 37-36, but made the most of their 16 offensive rebounds with 17 second-chance points. Arizona shot 29.6 percent from the field (16-54), 41.7 percent from three-point range (5-12) and 80 percent from the charity stripe (16-20).
For the Wildcats, the starting five included sophomore forward Erica Barnes, freshman center Aley Rohde, Thomas, Warthen and Whyte. Senior guard Shanita Arnold had the most minutes off the bench with 21. She collected seven points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals. Today's game marks the final contest for seniors Arnold and Thomas.
For Arizona State, senior forward Kimberly Brandon paced the squad with 15 points, six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal. Senior center Kali Bennett chipped in with 10 points and six rebounds. The Sun Devils shot 46.2 percent from the field (24-52), 31.3 percent from behind the arc (5-16) and 68.2 percent from the free throw line (15-22).
In two tournament games, Whyte averaged 17.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists. Warthen averaged 14.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists. Arnold averaged 10.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists.
The 12th-seeded Wildcats advanced to Thursday's quarterfinals with a 61-57 win over fifth-seeded UCLA in Wednesday's opening round of play.

Series Record: UA leads, 10-1
First Meeting: 1931 - UA 19, NAU 12 at Flagstaff, Ariz.
Last Meeting: 2009 - UA 34, NAU 17 at Tucson, Ariz.
Streak: UA has won nine straight games
Some Game Themes
College football's opening week finds Arizona at home against an old rival. The Cats and Jacks square off for the 12th time in a series dating to 1931... UA fights to maintain its dominance (10-1), with the lone loss coming 79 years ago in Phoenix (7-6 NAU victory in 1932)... Arizona plays its only '11 FCS opponent and the Lumberjacks play their lone FBS squad on the slate... Arizona honors candidates Nick Foles (QB) and Juron Criner (WR) take the field as the ringleaders of the Wildcat offense... The Cats get to test their new offensive line -- a group comprised of freshmen tackles, a sophomore guard and juniors at center and the other guard spot -- against a team that led the Big Sky in scoring defense, rushing defense and sacks... UA measures its own D against 1,000-yard runner Zach Bauman, among the nation's top 2010 freshmen in the FCS... NAU brings a senior kicker, Matt Myers, up for national honors (Mitchell Award)... The Wildcats have a Groza Award candidate in senior Alex Zendejas, but it will be juco transfer Jaime Salazar taking the first kicks after winning the job in camp... The UA unveils a sort of frontispiece to its football end zone project with the other end's dynamic new video board, installed in the last three months outside the south end of Arizona Stadium... A Wildcat team fights to get back in the left-hand column after closing the previous season with five tough losses, the worst losing streak since Mike Stoops'second UA club dropped an equal amount... It's a highly important game for Arizona, which enters a brutal stretch of FBS ball over the next six weeks...
Last Time Out
It's a brand new season and all that, but many Arizona players still might be cognizant of the last game played, a humbling 36-10 loss to Oklahoma State in the Valero Alamo Bowl. The Cowboys won 11 games and led the nation in total offense, but UA's ineffective offensive play -- six trips into OSU territory in the first half alone, with one score -- spelled much of the doom. Arizona held OSU to 72 rushing yards and a somewhat modest 312 total, but it wasn't enough defense to discourage the point scoring. The loss was UA's fifth consecutive and wrapped up the season at 7-6.
The Coaches
Arizona - Mike Stoops(Iowa '86), eighth year at Arizona (40-45) and overall as a head coach. Stoops had Arizona in the national rankings for 11 weeks in 2010 and has taken three consecutive teams to bowl games, matching the school's best string. His recruiting and player development programs have put talented players on the field, and solid citizens in the classrooms and community. He has coached national award winners and a combined 33 All-Pac-10 players at Arizona. His Arizona teams have beaten ranked teams each of his seven seasons in Tucson. Arizona's football attendance has flourished in his tenure averaging 53,155 per game, among the Pac-12's best of-capacity (93%) figures. Arizona's football APR mark has improved each of the past six years. He has developed 16 Arizona players selected in the NFL Draft. He was defensive coordinator at Kansas State and Oklahoma from 1996-2003 before his UA appointment and has been on the defensive side since his coaching start in 1986. Northern Arizona - Jerome Souers, 14th year at NAU (72-75) and overall as a head coach. His background is defense, with an eight-year run as coordinator at Montana preceding his NAU appointment in 1998. He was a finalist for the 2003 Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award with his best club (9-4).
It Means Nothing, But...
Arizona has officially entered new eras in its football season-opener history only five times, with No. 6 coming up Sept. 3 -- the first game as a member of the Pac-12 Conference. In 1899 the Cats began play for the very first time, and opened the season playing a club team, "Tucson Town," to a scoreless tie. In 1911 UA opened against a four-year institution for the first time, visiting New Mexico for a 6-0 victory. After three decades as an independent, UA's season opener as a member of the Border Conference came in 1931, with UA dropping a home game to San Diego State, 8-0. In 1962, the Cats began play in the Western Athletic Conference and opened the season with a 27-21 victory over Brigham Young in Tucson. In 1978 as a new member of the Pacific-10 Conference, Arizona opened the year with a 31-0 shutout of Kansas State in Tucson. That makes Arizona 3-1-1 in so-called new-era games during the 112 years since its first football game.
For Openers
Arizona opens the season at home for the third time in the last four seasons (opened at Toledo in 2010), and the fifth time in Mike Stoops'eight seasons at Arizona ... The Cats have yet to lose a home opener under Stoops, defeating Central Michigan (2009), Idaho (2008), BYU (2006) and NAU (2004) ... UA has given up a grand total of eight (8) points over the last three season openers ... The Cats have outscored those foes 130-8 over the three games thanks in large part to 70-0 and 41-2 victories over Idaho and Toledo ... The last two times UA has opened a season at home, late-season monsoon thunderstorms have delayed the kickoff. On Aug. 30, 2008, the UA-Idaho game was suspended as soon as the teams lined up for the opening kickoff. UA won 70-0 after a 64-minute weather delay. On Sept. 5, 2009, the UA-Central Michigan contest was suspended 43 minutes after lightning in the area delayed kickoff. The Cats won 19-6.
Labor Day Weekend
The Labor Day weekend has been kind to UA football over the years when the Wildcats play at home. Since the college football season began opening on (or before) Labor Day weekend back in 1983, the Wildcats have played 13 home games on the holiday weekend. UA's record in those contests is 12-1, including 11 straight wins dating back to 1984. The school's only loss was to Fresno State back in 1984. More impressive, though, is the fact that the Cats have outscored opponents 433-89 over the 13 games. Additionally, UA has allowed an opponent to score double-digit points just twice in those games (27 to Fresno St. in 1984 and 13 to BYU in 2006). Traditionally the holiday weekend has resulted in a lower attendance figure since many local familes have used the time for one final summer vacation. But in the Mike Stoopsera, the Wildcats have averaged just under 52,000 fans at the four Labor Day weekend games, a nice increase over the school's 46,106 average mark in the 13 such games.
Staff Adjustments
Mike Stoops altered his coaching staff in a variety of ways during the offseason. He hired Robert Anae from Birgham Young to coach the offensive line (replacing Bill Bedenbaugh), named Seth Littrell solo offensive coordinator (dropping co- duties with Bedenbaugh), hired Joe Salave'a to coach the defensive line after a stint at San Jose State to open his coaching career (replacing Mike Tuiasosopo), named Tim Kish solo defensive coordinator (dropping co- duties with Greg Brown), and promoted graduate assistant Ryan Walters to secondary coach (replacing Brown). Littrell switched from coaching RBs to mentoring tight ends, inside receivers coach Garret Chachere switched to coaching running backs, and outside receivers coach Dave Nichol took over all receivers. Former Wildcat QB Kris Heavner (2003-07) was named offensive graduate assistant in the spring after serving as an office video G.A. (replacing Matt Rice). Former Wildcats reserve offensive lineman Chris Hannon (2007-09) was named defensive graduate assistant in August (replacing Walters).
It's Water Under the Bridge
A few key offseason developments point to a few tasks facing the 2011 Wildcats. For one, three UA defensive ends -- Brooks Reed (Texans), Ricky Elmore (Packers) and D'Aundre Reed (Vikings) were picked in the NFL Draft. Spring ball and fall camp have shown seniors C.J. Parish and Mohammed Usman are ready to step up and take starting roles, with some depth behind them from soph Dan Pettinato and juco transfer Lamar De Rego. Center (49-game starter) Colin Baxter and left tackle Adam Grant signed free agent contracts with NFL teams, and those roles have been taken up by junior Kyle Quinn and redshirt freshman Mickey Baucus. Their linemates -- soph guard Chris Putton, junior guard Trace Biskin and redshirt freshman tackle Fabbians Ebbele -- also are new to starting roles and will plug holes left by journeymen Conan Amituanai, Jovon Hayes and Phillip Garcia. The new guys clearly are able; it's a matter of getting the experience. Of all nine of the 2011 men mentioned in this paragraph only Quinn has a start -- a fill-in job for rehabbing Baxter in the Alamo Bowl.
Other New Faces
Two new kickers could factor. Mid-year punter Kyle Dugandzic enters the opener as the top guy. August newcomer Jaime Salazar has been competing with Alex Zendejas for the top role as place kicker. Mid-year junior college transfer Drew Robinson, who missed most of spring ball with a minor injury, enters the season opener as the top tight end. His play and that of true freshman Michael Cooper allowed coaches to move 2010 backup Jack Baucus to tackle where depth is more of a premium. Along with the linemen, Robinson's the only probable new offensive starter. Redshirt freshmen Austin Hill, Garic Wharton and Tyler Slavin figure to get some action in the receiving corps along with redshirt transfer Dan Buckner (Texas). True freshman RB Ka'Deem Carey appears close to some rotation work behind or among a threesome in the backfield (Antolin, Jenkins, Butler). Mid-year juco transfer center Addison Bachman is working behind Kyle Quinn along with some other young "twos" on the OL -- OT Trent Spurgeon, OG Carter Lees, OG Eric Bender-Ramsay and OTs Jack Baucus and Shane Zink. On the other side of the ball a number of new guys appear to be in position for action -- redshirts Dan Pettinato (DE), Kirifi Taula (DT), Aiulua Fanene (DT), Sani Fuimaono (DT); juco linebacker David Lopez, true freshman linebackers Rob Hankins and Hank Hobson, true freshman DEs Dame Ndiaye and Reggie Gilbert, redshirt freshmen DBs Jourdon Grandon and Josh Robbins, and true freshmen DBs Tramayne Bondurant and Cortez Johnson. Grandon was the top nickel back for much of camp until a knee cartilage injury slowed him down; Bondurant has come on strong there. Another pair of likely new faces belong to junior long snappers Brian Chacon (FG/PAT) and David Highberger(punts). Dugandzic is the holder.
Bring It On
Prognosticators have taken a glance at Arizona's 2011 schedule - particularly the first month - and most have given the Wildcats little chance of early season success. Sure, after the season opener against the Lumberjacks, UA is set to face three straight preseason AP Top-10 teams. That's a daunting task for any squad. But it's not totally unusual territory for Mike Stoops'squads to face ranked teams in groups. In Stoops' inaugural season as head coach, the Wildcats played No. 17 Utah and No. 20 Wisconsin in consecutive weeks, before later playing No. 1 USC and No. 18 Arizona State in order to end the 2004 season. In 2005, Stoops' second UA team faced No. 12 Purdue, No. 12 California and No. 1 USC in three straight games. In 2006, the Cats wrestled away victories from No. 25 Washington State and No. 8 California in consecutive November games. In the 2007, UA closed the season with No. 2 Oregon and No. 13 Arizona State. In 2009, UA closed the regular season with a win over No. 20 USC, before facing then-No. 20 Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl three weeks later. So yes, should Oklahoma State, Stanford and Oregon all remain ranked in the Top 10 this year at the time of the games, it will be the first time the Cats have played a trio of Top 10 teams consecutively under Coach Stoops. But the Cats are used to playing tough competition by now.
It Won't Be The First Time
Arizona certainly has a tough slate of games lined up on its 2011 schedule. Most will point out preseason Top 10 clubs Oklahoma State, Stanford and Oregon as the primary reason the schedule is so tough. But ask any football coach, and they will tell you every game is tough. Certainly that's true this year for the Wildcats, whose opponents had a cumulative 89-60 (.597) record in 2010. That includes five teams that played in bowls - two in BCS bowls. Only four squads this year had a losing record a season ago, while four won at least 10 games. But the Wildcats are used to playing a tough schedule. In fact, three times in Mike Stoops'seven season at Arizona, the Wildcats have played one of the nation's top 10 toughest schedules. In 2004, UA played the third-toughest schedule in the country with opponents owning a 69-39 (.639) overall record. Two years later, the 2006 schedule checked in as the eighth-toughest in the nation with opponents holding an overall record of 76-50 (.603). And two years in 2009, The Cats played the seventh-toughest schedule in the nation as their opponents combined for an 83-55 (.601) overall record. Check back after the bowl season to see where the 2011 schedule stacks up nationally.
One More For Four
The 2011 Wildcats are seeking to do something that has never been done before in program history: earn a fourth straight bowl bid. Arizona has played in the Las Vegas (2008), Holiday (2009) and Alamo (2010) bowls the last three seasons, which has tied the 1992-94 teams for the best three-season stretch in school history. Interestingly, Arizona and Oregon are the only two Pac-10 teams that enter the Pac-12 era with three consecutive bowl appearances. Utah from the Mountain West adds a third such team with the new configuration of the conference. The Cats and Utes will battle four other schools for the Pac-12 South Division title and a berth in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game against the North Division winner on Sept. 3.
They're Back
Arizona returns one of the deepest and most experienced receiving corps in the nation. Headlined by All-American candidate Juron Criner, the Cats return 485 career receptions for 4,889 yards to the 2011 roster. Criner accounts for 1,903 yards and 21 touchdowns, but seniors David Douglas (86-876) and Dave Roberts (89-912) are closing in on 1,000-yard careers, too. Add in sophomores Richard Morrison and Terrence Miller, along with Texas transfer Dan Buckner, and you have six reliable targets. Senior Gino Crump turned in an impressive preseason training camp and will see increased playing time from a year ago. This list doesn't even include redshirt freshmen targets Garic Wharton, Austin Hill and Tyler Slavin, or true freshman receiver Patrick Onwuasor, who showed he may be ready to play in camp. Plus, UA's running backs have always factored into the offense, evidenced by Keola Antolin's 51 receptions for 311 yards in his three seasons. Suffice it to say, Nick Folesor whoever else is under center will have plenty of options to throw to this season.
True Freshman Linebacking
It's probable that true freshman linebacker Rob Hankins could start the NAU game. Arizona's last true freshman starting linebacker was Spencer Larsen, in the fifth game of his first year at UA in 2002. He started the final six games and seven of the last eight alongside eventual Pro-Bowl stalwart Lance Briggs (Chicago Bears). Larsen, who took the next two years off on a Mormon mission before returning for three years in 2005-07, now toils as a combo back for the Denver Broncos. Hankins is among three newcomers vying for roles this year, joining fellow rookies Hank Hobson (freshman) and juco transfer David Lopez in helping build some depth on the middle level. Walk-on senior Bilal Muhammad returns after some play a year ago and also is competing for time. Seniors Paul Vassallo and Derek Earlsclearly are the vets in the corps and will be counted on heavily.
Freshmen 'Backers
It's going to be difficult to keep track of which guy is which, owing to the onomastic similiarity of their names. Those are some confusing vowels. Go by No. 19 for Hobson and 44 for Hankins. Maybe they'll end up being Robo and Hobo later on if they're stars, but for now this pair is guaranteed to mess up Arizona's long-time TV voice of the Wildcats, Dave Sitton, in the NAU opener.
Cracking the Top 10
Senior running back Keola Antolin will, with a typical year, reach 2,500 career rushing yards and finish among Arizona's all-time top 10. He enters the year at 1,829 career yards and No. 14 on the list after splitting chores with departed Nic Grigsby (2,957) for three seasons. He's accomplished his totals in 12 starts and 38 games played and is hands-down the veteran force in a group which includes sophomores Daniel Jenkins and Kylan Butler, and freshmen Ka'Deem Carey and Jared Baker. Antolin's career 4.9 yards per carry compares favorably with the current Top 10 Arizona rushers. Art Luppino leads in the category at 6.6, Trung Canidate is next at 6.3 and Grigsby charted a 5.2 figure. Antolin would match Clarence Farmer(2,530) at 4.9 per tote on his current rate. Antolin averaged 5.6 yards per carry as a sophomore so it's possible he could reach the 5.0 level.
Cracking the Top Five
Senior receiver Juron Criner played his freshman year with current Jacksonville Jaguar Mike Thomas and current New England Patriot Rob Gronkowskialso running routes for UA. The focus elsewhere gave Criner a seven-catch season in 2008. The following year, 45 grabs. Last year, 82. It puts Criner (134 receptions) in position to challenge for a 200-reception career, accomplished only by eventual pros Thomas (259), Bobby Wade (230) and Dennis Northcutt (223). Criner would become No. 4 behind those guys with 19 more receptions, passing another former pro, T' Bell (153). Three more catches moves Juron into the top five, surpassing Jon Horton at 136. No matter what, he's clearly among the most talented receivers in Arizona history.
Experience Factor Of One
Kyle Quinnis the only UA offensive lineman who has started a game in his career - the 2010 Alamo Bowl last December. That certainly qualifies the Wildcats as one of the least experienced O-lines in the nation. Some preseason research by UNLV SID Mark Wallington identified six schools (Arizona, Florida, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, UNLV and USC) that are slated to begin the 2011 season without a single senior on the offensive line. Out of that group, the Wildcats and Rebels are the only club's that have slotted two freshmen. The good news for the Cats and the other squads listed above is that the experience factor will increase significantly each week.
Turnover Fortunes
An area that Mike Stoopsand Co. would like to see improvement for the Arizona Wildcats in 2011 is in the turnover department. The Cats have failed to post a positive turnover margin the last two seasons, after netting a plus-six margin in 2008. It works two-fold. First, ball security will be a priority on offense, and in a pass-happy offense led by a senior QB, the Cats could/should be in good shape there. Secondly, the UA defense needs to force more turnovers. Last season the defense turned opposing teams over just 18 times. Opportunities for more turnovers were there, perhaps best evidenced by five or six dropped interceptions against Arizona State in the regular season finale. When the Wildcats win the turnover battle, they are pretty good. Consider that Arizona is 19-7 since 2008 when it wins or ties in the turnover column. Conversely, the Cats struggle at a 4-9 clip in games they lose the turnover battle. Keep an eye on turnovers this season.
Redzone Scoring
A high priority for the Arizona offense in 2011 will surely be to capitalize on red zone opportunities. In 2010, the Wildcats ranked near the bottom of the Pac-10 in red zone scoring percentage at just 72 percent (39-54). Even worse was the fact that UA scored a touchdown on just 30 of 54 trips inside an opponents' 20 yard line. At the same time, the UA defense allowed opponents to score 84-percent of the time in the red zone. This year, the Wildcats will strive to get their scoring percentage up in the mid to high-80 percent range. If they do that, their points per game figure will likely increase over its 28.2 ppg a year ago.
Cats Report To Duty
For the fourth straight year, Arizona head coach Mike Stoopstook his team to Fort Huachuca, a U.S. Army post 75 miles southeast of Tucson, for four days of preseason training camp in August. Fort Huachuca was founded in 1977 and is now home to units such as the Army Intelligence Center, Army Signal Command, Information Systems Command and other test facilities associated with communications and electronic proving systems. For Arizona football, the mission is threefold, but simple: learn from the best team (U.S. Army) in the world, enjoy a cooler climate for football training, and bond as a team in preparation for the long grind of a college football season. It affords quality football practice fields for the team's physical work and barracks for housing, but moreover offers exceptional leadership-skills training opportunities and daily interaction with U.S. Army soldiers on post. The formula has worked the last three years, each of which has ended with a bowl appearance. The Wildcats are seeking for a school-record fourth bowl trip this year.
Building For The Future
In the summer of 2011, Arizona Athletics completed work on a new video board for the south end zone at Arizona Stadium and has begun plans for the North End Zone Complex. The new video board measures 113' wide by 47' high -- 6.5 times larger than the existing board and will be one of the largest in all of college sports. The North End Zone Complex will include 5,000 upgraded end-zone seats, and among them 420 premium loge-level seats. Arizona football staff offices will move from McKale Center to a four-level, 185,000-square-foot operations center that includes football-specific strength and conditioning facilities, a sports-medicine suite for student-athlete care and treatment, a team dining hall, coaches' offices, team locker rooms, small group and auditorium meeting spaces, and equipment and laundry rooms.
Up Next
Arizona will have a quick turnaround for its next game - a Thursday night tilt against No. 9 Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla., on September 8. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. (CDT) on ESPN. Thereafter, The Wildcats return home for Pac-12 Conference showdowns against Stanford (Sept. 17 on ESPN) and Oregon (Sept. 24 on ESPN).

LG announces 5-inch 1080p Full HD display with 440 ppi
LG has announced a new 5-inch mobile display that boasts Full HD 1080p (1920×1080) resolution. That means it's got 440 ppi (pixels-per-inch), which is a measure of pixel density. This display beats the iPhone 4 and 4S Retina Display by almost a third (Apple's products having 326 ppi).
On the ppi front, Toshiba has shown a mobile display which bests LG's, but that's a 6-inch unit which will probably only get used in very small tablets. Whereas LG's 5-incher could be found inside the next generation of phablets – phone/tablet hybrid devices, the first of which was the Samsung Galaxy Note.
Thankfully, we aren't years away from actually seeing the new LG display in shipping products. The Korean company has said that it expects the new display to be released before the end of this year.
LG's new display has 16:9 form factor, uses an Advanced High performance In-Plane Switching (AH-IPS) panel, and it's 2.2 times denser in pixels than a 720p (1280×720) 4.5-inch unit. Thanks to the AH-IPS tech, the display will have high response times, wide viewing angles, and great color reproduction accuracy.

A minimum of 265 Anne Frank books vandalized in a number of Tokyo, Japan, public libraries this 2014 has led some officials to fear that an anti-Semitic motive may be possible in this wrongful defacing. Tokyo authorities revealed this week that literal scores of Anne Frank's perennial autobiography, "The Diary of a Young Girl," have been damaged in recent weeks. MSN News reports this Friday, Feb. 21, 2014, that an official investigation is being launched to determine why these books telling of the young Holocaust victim's experiences are being ripped, defaced, and stolen.
The vast majority of the damages, allege public library officials and Tokyo law enforcement officers, include the ripping of pages from texts. So far, authorities from the area say that a span of at least 265 Anne Frank books vandalized — sometimes beyond repair — has been plaguing no less than 31 municipal libraries since Jan. 2014. A specific reason at this time is unknown, but anti-Semitic aims are feared as a potential motive behind the attacks.
Nazi Germany was temporary allies with Japan at the time of World War II, as history buffs no doubt recall. However, while Holocaust denial has certainly taken place in Tokyo and other regions of Japan in the past, a particular drive for causing such damage to this number of Anne Frank books remains a major mystery. Police continue to investigate the cause, but haven't determined if the culprits are a single person, a small group, or a larger number of suspects yet.
Yoshihide Suga, the Chief Cabinet Secretary of Defense, said that having these Anne Frank books vandalized is nothing less than "shameful." He added that no part of Japan would allow such crimes to occur or continue.
It appears that a majority of the vandalisms are occurring inside the libraries themselves The vandal(s) are believed to be sneaking inside silent reading rooms with a number of other books, and purposefully ripping out pages or defacing the "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl" texts.
"Books related to Ms. Anne Frank are clearly targeted, and it's happening across Tokyo," said an official this Friday on the 265 damaged texts. "It's outrageous."
At least one library in Tokyo has moved all Anne Frank books and even some Holocaust texts behind the librarians' counter in order to help prevent any attempts at vandalism, though these books are allowed to be checked out with consent. Anti-Semitic motives are suspected by several Jewish human rights organizations as well. Concludes the source:
"The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a U.S.-based Jewish human rights organization, issued a statement calling the vandalism a hate campaign and urging authorities to step up efforts to find those responsible."

3 Days in Madeira: Suggested Itineraries
By Viator, December 2013
Day 1: Hike the Levadas
Pack a lunch, a flashlight and some warm clothes before heading out to one of Madeira's famous levadas. These historic irrigation channels wind through more than 1,300 miles of countryside, offering visitors numerous options for exploring the landscape. Start your journey on Vereda do Pico Ruivo, a mountain pass that travels up the island's tallest peak. This well-traveled aqueduct also connects to three other trails, which makes for easy access to western Madeira and the second-highest peak on the island.
Day 2: Travel Back in Time
Begin the day on a morning cruise aboard a replica of the famous Santa Maria. Tour the coast and stop for a dip in the chilly Atlantic before warming up with glasses of Madeira wine and slices of sweet honey cake. After the cruise, head to the Madeira Story Centre, where the island's past is laid out in a chronological multi-media display that includes interactive games and audio tours.
Day 3: Enjoy the Countryside
Take island's famous cable car high above the hillside for an aerial view of the lush landscape Madeira is known for. Afterwards, wander the paths of the Madeira Botanical Gardens, where indigenous plants and local trees are just part of the attraction. Round out the day with a visit to São Vicente Caves and Volcanism Centre, where visitors can explore dark tunnels and learn about the geology, volcanic activity and natural history that make the island so unique.
