On Saturday April 20, the leaders of Italy's two biggest political forces climbed the Quirinal, highest of Rome's seven ancient hills, and begged President Giorgio Napolitano to stay for a second term.
Pier Luigi Bersani and Silvio Berlusconi were followed into the presidential palace by outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti, Northern League boss Roberto Maroni and finally the governors of Italy's regions, in scenes that resembled schoolboys visiting the headmaster's office.
The fact that Italy's leading politicians had to implore an extremely reluctant 87-year-old grandfather to be the first president in Italian history to serve a second term is a measure of the depth of the most turbulent and intractable crisis seen for decades, even in a country synonymous with instability.
Since an election in February that left no group with enough support to govern alone, one political disaster had followed another like a motorway pile-up, culminating in the failure of 1007 "grand electors" from parliament and the regions to elect a new president after four attempts.
The political drama had implications far beyond Italy. The euro zone's third biggest economy had once before narrowly avoided being sucked into the region's financial crisis. Political gridlock brought renewed danger.
The group's pleas flew in the face of Napolitano's repeated and fierce rejection of the idea, going back months. With his 88th birthday two months away, the former communist was looking forward to retirement, playing with his two grandchildren and taking a holiday on the island of Capri with his wife Clio.
Napolitano was so sure of leaving that removal men had already taken away most of his personal effects. Sources with knowledge of the events inside the former papal palace on the Quirinal hill said his office was so bare that there were not even notebooks available when he received the delegations.
He had told his aides the night before that he expected to hand over the presidency within days, the sources said.
The presidential election was key to ending the two-month deadlock and installing Italy's 64th post-war government with some hope of passing reforms vital to counter a deep recession, but the politicians were incapable of finding a way out of the impasse.
Napolitano eventually agreed to stand again, was overwhelmingly elected and has installed a right-left grand coalition under centre-left politician Enrico Letta, bringing the crisis to an end, for now.
While fragile, the government is given a reasonable chance of lasting for a while at least, thanks mostly to the president's powerful protection, and his threat to resign immediately if the politicians go back to playing games.
Brink of Disaster
But before he conceded out of what close associates say was an overwhelming sense of duty and patriotism, Italy had come to the brink of disaster.
"Napolitano has been decisive. No other president would have had enough authority to impose a government. If it had not been for him we would now be in a major constitutional crisis," said political science Professor Gianfranco Pasquino from Bologna's Johns Hopkins University.
Napolitano's phone started ringing on the night of Friday April 19, shortly after a major rebellion in Bersani's centre-left Democratic Party which sank his second candidate for president, former premier Romano Prodi, despite a unanimous party vote in a Rome theatre only that morning to support him.
Bersani had the most electors after beating Berlusconi's centre-right by a whisker in the February election but he had lost control of the party, which was close to collapse.
Bersani resigned that night, after railing against around 100 "traitors" who voted against Prodi, and was the first to make the pilgrimage to Napolitano.
Sources with knowledge of the meeting say Napolitano's determination not to remain was weakened by the sorry sight of the broken Bersani. He was finally convinced by the pleas of the regional governors.
He was also very worried that public anger against the politicians, fuelled by the diatribes of populist 5-Star Movement leader Beppe Grillo, could become violent.
Napolitano had what one source described as an "animated" lunch with his wife and 43-year-old son Giulio, and finally at 3 p.m. agreed to stay on. But the drama was far from over.
Napolitano went to parliament for his inauguration on the Monday morning, eschewing the normal pomp reserved for the occasion. He angrily excoriated the chastened politicians, accusing them among other charges of irresponsibility, exploitation and sterile political battles.
He said their failure despite his repeated urgings last year to repeal a flawed electoral law that was largely responsible for the poll result was "unforgivable."
Then, unveiling his biggest weapon, he told them he would not hesitate to resign, "if I find myself again confronted by the kind of deafness with which I have collided in the past."
Surreal Scene
The reaction of the parliamentarians was little short of surreal. With the exception of Bersani, who held his head in his hands, the rest of the audience responded to their punishment with enthusiastic applause.
The astonishing scene was caricatured in La Stampa newspaper by columnist Massimo Gramellini who said the politicians were like motorists carrying a traffic policeman in triumph on their shoulders after he had given them a sheaf of parking fines.
One political official said Napolitano's threat to resign was not an empty one. "His determination is very strong ...if the politicians try to mock him with their games," he said.
It was not long before Napolitano had to use this weapon.
Two days after his own inauguration, he nominated Letta as prime minister, but coalition horse trading with Berlusconi ran into trouble in a dispute over the position of economy minister.
Berlusconi wanted the job to go to his close ally, Renato Brunetta, a centre-right hardliner, but that was opposed by Letta's centre-left. Political sources said Napolitano picked up the phone and called Berlusconi. One source says he threatened to resign if the dispute prevented a government being formed.
Berlusconi conceded, allowing the job to go to Bank of Italy director general Fabrizio Saccomanni.
High on Letta's priorities are constitutional changes to fix the skewed electoral law, which grants a giant winner's premium in the lower house of parliament even if the margin is tiny. It will be a long process and before it happens Napolitano has powerful leverage with his threat to resign or call a new poll.
So as in November 2011, when Napolitano rescued Italy from a perilous debt crisis by replacing the discredited Berlusconi with technocrat Mario Monti, Italy's fate once again depends on the man affectionately known as "King George."
But with the future deeply uncertain as far as the eye can see, Italians are wondering whether he will really be forced to stay for a full seven year term, by which time he will be 94, in order to keep the euro zone's third-largest economy on track.

Matt & Shannon's His and Hers Shared Home Office
Name: Shannon Corbeil of Little Luck Tree, Matthew Pearce of Matt's Macintosh Location: Los Angeles, CA
A few months back we shared a reader's home office, spotlighting their easy and affordable decorative display using clipboards above the desk. The surprise is discovering the home office is actually in their living room, and they've since been working on the other side of the room, expanding a shared his and hers workspace...
Matthew Pearce of Matt's Macintosh shares the workspace with Shannon Corbeil of Little Luck Tree, a balancing act between the couple's different, yet complementary styles:
Matt was able to keep his boy stuff on one side of the room, and I kept my girlie things over on mine. Our aesthetic was similar enough that the furniture and tech pieces tied the decor together. Add some fresh plants, and it was really nice and homey!
To keep things fair, the turntable is in the middle. Like Shannon and Matt's home office style? Here are a few similar or same elements to decorate inspired by their shared workspace:
View of the Eiffel Tower, France Wall Mural - $125.00
IKEA LINNMON/ FINNVARD Desk - $85.99
Innovative Technology ITUT-400 Modern Design USB Turntable - $60.56

Togetherness has its perks in the financial world -- price breaks on insurance premiums, saving money by splitting bills, instant justification for buying the family sized bag of Doritos, etc.
However, when it comes to credit, too much togetherness can be bad for your bottom line. Even though there's no such thing as a "couples" or "joint" credit report, if you both are named on a loan or listed as joint account holders, any flub-up (late payments, defaults) on the account will mar both of your credit files, no matter who forgot to put the mortgage check in the mail.
Couples need to be a little selfish to keep their credit healthy. Should the unthinkable "d" words come up (namely, "divorce" or "death"), you want to be able to stand on your own two feet, creditwise. You don't want Mr. or Ms. Wrong mangling your credit.
A few simple moves now will keep things harmonious on the home front -- and in your credit files.
Don't lose your autonomy: It might be tempting to put all your cards in each of your names, but doing so robs you of your stand-alone reputation. Keep the accounts you established in your single days open. In fact, don't even relegate those cards to your sock drawer -- use them for a small purchase at least every few months to keep them active. When you stop using your cards, your credit file can quickly go dormant. As little as six months of no activity on an account can make you unscorable. (You'll still have a credit file, but without anything for your lenders to report, the credit-scoring system just kind of gives up.)
What's the big deal? If you find yourself on your own because of either of the aforementioned "d" words, your access to lines of credit could be swiftly cut off. Without established and active credit in your own name, you'll have a harder time qualifying for loans or new cards.
Share your credit secrets: Put it all out on the table. Pull your free reports at annualcreditreport.com, dim the lights, and review each others' reports (without judgment or eye-rolling!).
Make your sweetheart an "authorized user": That designation is a lot easier to undo than "joint account holder" on cards you want to share. Again, apologies for being a downer, but if things go south in your relationship, untying the credit knot can be as complicated as figuring out who has to take the bread machine if you're both unwilling to let go of joint accounts.
Vow to pay those bills on time: Nagging's not attractive, but a few moments of bickering about whether or not payments were sent in on time is better than months of trying to clean up a credit mess.

My Adopted Gluten-Free Blogger- Naomi of Straight into Bed Cakefree and Dried
This month the Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger event was hosted by the always helpful Thomas Dzomba at The GF CF Experience. I was momentarily at a loss- which of the fabulous bloggers that have recently come across my radar should I adopt? Gazing at my recently updated list of gluten-free bloggers I happened to spy Naomi Devlin of Straight into Bed Cakefree and Dried. Naomi is a force to be reckoned with in the gluten-free blogging community, not only for her incredible recipes, but also for her famous monthly Go Ahead Honey it is Gluten Free Blog Event. Naomi is also a pretty darned cool person all on her own, and is a homeopath across the sea in Bridport, Dorset. Naomi infuses her recipes with healthful ingredients in a creative way, and her blog is fun and interesting to read to boot. The tricky part for me this time was picking just one recipe. Luckily I was immediately inspired when I saw her photo for Sweet Potato Pitta Bread. Something about that orange, fluffy crust adorned with sesame seeds called my name, big time. And just like that, I had picked a recipe.
One slightly tricky thing about Naomi's blog is that measurements are in ounces, and need to be weighed. Luckily I have a super handy kitchen scale that I picked up at Amazon just for these problems. Also, the recipe called for exotic sweet potato flour- this might seem like another problem except recently I discovered an incredible Korean Market, han kook in Sunnyvale that carried Sweet Potato Powder. This sweet potato powder was mixed with cornstarch, so if you want to buy some make sure you read the label. I don't know if it is ever mixed with wheat starch, but anything is possible.
So, armed with all the ideal ingredients (except for date sugar), on one quiet weekday afternoon I prepared my ingredients, roasted a sweet potato, and tried Naomi's tempting recipe.
I skinned and mashed my sweet potato, and as I was sifting the flour over it I started to have a really good feeling about the recipe. Sometimes you can just tell a recipe is well constructed. I got even happier as I mixed the dough. It was pliable and easy to work with, if a little sticky.
I shaped balls of dough:
And then I deviated from Naomi's instructions a little. I put the ball of dough inside a quart sized ziploc bag:
And pressed it out into a circle by hand. It was so easy!
Without using any flour, the pita circle peeled right off:
I placed the dough circles in a pan:
I let the dough rise for an hour (although it didn't rise much) and then baked it. The dough smelled and looked good, but unfortunately it didn't puff for me the way it did for Naomi. I think it's just one of those subtle things that happens when you get the recipe just-right. Then I split one of the pita to make a super tasty egg salad sandwich with fresh tomatoes and basil for garnish. Mmm… (And yes, tofu egg salad would have been just as good, if not better, but I was out…)
Our verdict?
I really liked the recipe and the balance of flours. The sweet potato added vibrant color, nutrition, and a great texture. Sorghum isn't my favorite whole grain flour, but it worked here. I think Naomi's come up with a winner with this recipe! DH liked it, but he didn't rave. He is notoriously difficult to thrill with bread, though, and remember, he's a glutenoid.
Any Changes?
If I were to make the recipe again, I think I would increase the yeast, because the pita really didn't rise much for me. I think that would lighten them a bit and maybe (but not necessarily) make it more likely that they would do that lovely puffy air pocket thing. Many of the recipes that work well for me and are really reliable really amp up the yeast and I'd like to see what would happen here if I did that- I also might not let the dough rest before I rolled it out, or possibly might refrigerate the dough, but that's crazy talk.
I had fun with this recipe and am so glad this event spurred me to make one of Naomi's lovely recipes. And now, I really ought to get together an entry for her "go ahead honey" event, hosted this month by Ginger Lemon Girl. If somehow you haven't seen Naomi's blog, please go and take a look at her super-fabulous collection of recipes. Toothsome recipes that caught my eye include Poppyseed Cardamon Cake, Carrot Pulp Bread, and Peanut Butter and Coconut Mufins, but I have a feeling this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Store Review: Spice Station
- Location: Los Angeles, CA
- Website: spicestationsilverlake.com
From the street, it can be hard to tell just what or even where Spice Station is. Located in Silver Lake's Sunset Junction, the shop is hidden from the general hustle and bustle, and the curious shopper, perhaps lured by a chalkboard listing "Today's Spice Prices," must amble down a walkway, past a fountain, and through a small courtyard. But inside awaits a world of herbs, spices, chiles, salts, and teas…
The actual shop is modestly-sized but rich with inviting colors and culinary possibilities. One wall of shelves – built by the owner's brother from reclaimed wood – displays the rainbow of bulk inventory, while another wall has smaller spice jars for customers to open, smell, and handle. Tables made from reclaimed pallets hold specialty blends, bulk teas, and spice sets.
With the recent arrival of Penzeys in Santa Monica (and the one in Torrance), one might question the need for another spice shop in Los Angeles. Bronwen Tawse, who opened Spice Station with her husband Peter Bahlawanian just a couple of weeks ago, describes their desire to serve the east side market. As local residents, the couple felt Silver Lake was the right spot for their vision of a bulk spice shop where anyone could come buy a little or a lot. They hope to turn the adjacent courtyard into a spot for tasting parties, cooking demos, and a sitting area for customers to relax, peruse their book collection, and get inspired.
The shop's selection of over 100 spices includes standards as well as some harder to find and specialty items. Freshness is a priority; they work directly with about a dozen importers, maintain a small inventory, and reorder and refresh spices as necessary. The absence of direct street presence actually makes sense from an ingredients perspective. Hidden, cool, and shaded, the shop boasts the right conditions for spice storage.
Notable is their selection of whole and ground chile peppers, including Mexican and Asian varieties like Arbol, Cascabel, Habanero, Japones, Morita, Negro, Pequin, Pulla, and Tepin. In the salt corner are specialty offerings like Velvet de Guérande, Black Truffle Salt, Vintage Merlot Sea Salt, and Cyprus Black Lava Salt. Spice Station also carries Indian and Middle Eastern spice blends, house-made rubs and mixes, gift sets, and bulk teas from Tea Fountain of Mill Valley, California. Tawse says they are looking into carrying organic spices in the near future.
Personalized services include custom gift sets and free grinding. If you don't find what you want, the owners are open to suggestions and requests.

Crispy Roasted Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans) with Moroccan Spices
If you were hanging around this blog during November, you may recall me raving about the Moroccan Spice Mix recipe I found in Fine Cooking Magazine. I tried the mixture on butternut squash, then on carrots, absolutely loved it, and promised more Moroccan spice roasted veggies to come. Recently when I saw a recipe for Crispy Roasted Chickpeas in The South Beach Diet Cookbook my tastebuds started imagining how great those crispy chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans) would taste with just a hint of that Moroccan spice mix, and that's how this recipe was born.
These chickpeas are delicious just like you see them in the photo, but for a lower-carb party appetizer I love to make these and mix the hot chickpeas with an equal amount of nuts. That's a combination that will disappear pretty quickly on the buffet table. (The chickpeas are best the day you make them, so if you're only making them for a few people do half the can and freeze the rest of the chickpeas.)
Garbanzos are an often-used ingredient in Italian, Indian, Asian, and Mediterranean cooking, and they're favored by vegetarians since they have one of the highest protein levels of all plants. I've written a few times about chickpeas for Weekend Herb Blogging, hosted this week by Lia of Swirling Notions, but I was sure the WHB readers would find the idea of roasted chickpeas interesting, so I'm entering it for WHB #121. Now on to how I made this fabulous roasted chickpea snack, and lots more chickpea ideas from other bloggers too. (By the way, I'm already thinking of variations of this recipe such as chickpeas roasted with Tamari or garlic, so stay tuned.)
Crispy Roasted Chickpeas with Moroccan Spices
(Inspired by a recipe from The South Beach Diet Cookbook and the Moroccan Spice Mix from Fine Cooking Magazine.)
1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1 T olive oil
1/4 – 1/2 tsp. Moroccan Spice Mix
salt to taste (I used about 1/4 tsp. kosher salt)
Spice Mix Ingredients:
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. chile powder (I used Ancho chile powder from Penzeys)
1/2 tsp. sweet paprika
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
(recipe called for a pinch ground cloves, which I did not have.)

It is possible that the main title of the report Williams Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Williams syndrome, also known as Williams-Beuren syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by growth delays before and after birth (prenatal and postnatal growth retardation), short stature, a varying degree of mental deficiency, and distinctive facial features that typically become more pronounced with age. Such characteristic facial features may include a round face, full cheeks, thick lips, a large mouth that is usually held open, and a broad nasal bridge with nostrils that flare forward (anteverted nares). Affected individuals may also have unusually short eyelid folds (palpebral fissures), flared eyebrows, a small lower jaw (mandible), and prominent ears. Dental abnormalities may also occur including abnormally small, underdeveloped teeth (hypodontia) with small, slender roots.
Williams syndrome may also be associated with heart (cardiac) defects, abnormally increased levels of calcium in the blood during infancy (infantile hypercalcemia), musculoskeletal defects, and/or other abnormalities. Cardiac defects may include obstruction of proper blood flow from the lower right chamber (ventricle) of the heart to the lungs (pulmonary stenosis) or abnormal narrowing above the valve in the heart between the left ventricle and the main artery of the body (supravalvular aortic stenosis). Musculoskeletal abnormalities associated with Williams syndrome may include depression of the breastbone (pectus excavatum), abnormal side-to-side or front-to-back curvature of the spine (scoliosis or kyphosis), or an awkward gait. In addition, most affected individuals have mild to moderate mental retardation; poor visual-motor integration skills; a friendly, outgoing, talkative manner of speech; a short attention span; and are easily distracted.
In most individuals with Williams syndrome, the disorder appears to occur spontaneously for unknown reasons (sporadically). However, familial cases have also been reported. Sporadic and familial cases are thought to result from deletion of genetic material from adjacent genes (contiguous genes) within a specific region of chromosome 7 (7q11.23).

President's Message
Last October, Empire State Development Upstate President Dennis M. Mullen cut an organic, compostable, natural "ribbon" at the dedication of Clarkson's new 16,000-square-foot Technology Advancement Center (TAC).
Clarkson Trustee Chair Everett G. Foster and President Tony Collins joined Mullen and NYSTAR Executive Director Edward Reinfurt, along with trustees, honored guests, faculty, students and members of New York's public and private sector, for the "green" ribbon-cutting ceremony.
"The initiative is an example of a university/industry partnership designed to support technological research and promote economic growth in the region," said President Collins. "We are grateful for those who share in our vision and who encourage us to do more to bring research and innovation to the marketplace."
Connecting the main library and computing space with the University's largest academic teaching building, TAC provides laboratory and collaboration space for accelerating the development of research, especially in the fields of renewable energy and clean manufacturing technology.
TAC was constructed with a $5 million grant from Empire State Development, the State of New York's economic development leader and a development partner with Clarkson on its downtown campus technology and business incubator project.
TAC will also serve as the northern satellite of the Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems (CoE). CoE is a public/private research and development partnership established by NYSTAR to promote the creation of jobs and wealth by developing technologies to improve health, productivity, security and sustainability in built and urban environments. The Clarkson project will enable CoE to apply its mission to rural environments, which create significant renewable energy resource opportunities.
In addition to research laboratories, work areas supporting K-12 outreach programming will be provided to encourage college bound students to pursue technological careers through the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Program.
The space also includes meeting and training rooms for faculty/student research teams to collaborate with industrial researchers on energy projects currently funded by state agencies, as well as the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, and related industries.
The University is working to achieve LEED Gold Certification for TAC, which is designed and constructed in accordance with Clarkson's commitment to the environment. TAC's heating, air conditioning and electrical power requirements will be met not by a central power plant and high voltage transmission lines, but by three small microturbine units. The system is 62-percent efficient, versus the 30-percent efficiency of a central power system.

EDUCATION OF 250,000 CHILDREN UNDERTAKEN The Central Relief Committee for the Relief of Jews Sifffcring Through the • War lias issued the following appeal for if.'iOO.iKli) for Jewish .schools abroad: "111 America, where education is uni¬ versal and compulsory, people form no adciiuatc idea what an educational drive means. Education of the young forms part and parcel of each city's govern¬ mental program and is taken as a mat-- ter of Courdc, and 'drives' and .igitations for il arc things scarcely to be* imagined. "But there are' countries—in Kastern Europe and Asia, for instance—where conditions arc entirely different. Edu¬ cation in those lands has not been made compulsory as yet, nor arc those few schools that arc in being free to all, without distinction of 'race or creed. Facilities Rudimontary "In Poland, Lithuania, parts of Rus¬ sia and Palestine, the educational facili¬ ties at the command of the people are but rudimentary, and still less so are they to.the Jewish portion of the popu¬ lation. The Jewish children are, as a rule, discriminated against and denied even that little which is at the service of their non-Jewish brothers and sisters. "There is, also, the specifically Jewish education of the young and growing generation of Jews and Jewesses which we cannot possibly expect the state to take cognizance of and make its own. ¦ If we want to see the coming generation of Jews in those lands that harbor the great majority of our people remain faithful to the traditions of their fathers as well as' l?e loyal citizens of their re¬ spective countries of birth and rearing, we must implant in them the time-tested tenets of their faith and the traditions that have proven so dependable in time of need for centuries past. "The Central Relief Committee has undertaken the burden of educating ,-. 250,(HK>Achitdten. in,."the . war-strlcfcen lands, in addition to its liberal contribu¬ tion^ to the Jewish schools of Palestine. Of these quarter of a million children who are dependent for their education— general as well as specifically Jewish— upon the munificence of the Central Re¬ lief Committee, the're are about 25,000 orphans whose education and rearing must be made its concern if we do not want them to grow up as a thorn in the side of their own people, as .well as of • the country of their birth. , Nativea Contribute Share "The valorous men and women at the head of these various schools have not by any means depended wholly upon the assistance of the more fortunate Amer¬ ican brothers and sisters. They have made a valiant effort.to-maintain them¬ selves as far as possible for them to do so. Of the annual budgets of these' in¬ stitutions, the natives contribute 60 per cent, while 30 per cent is furnished by the Central Relief Committee, still leav¬ ing a deficit of 10 per cent. "But even this 30 per cent contribu¬ tion is now seriously threatened by the lack of response and the general spirit of indifference vvhich the Jews of Amer¬ ica are of late displaying towards this grejit cause. So far, the funds allotted us by the J. D. C. out of the proceeds of the last drive have sufficed to run these institutions. But these funds w.ill soon be exhausted. "For nine long years, thei Jews of Amerijca have shown the quality of mercy. They gave unstintedly to all funds for the relief of their less for¬ tunate brethren abroad. Over $60,000,- 000 havei been poured out upon the work qf relief by American Jews. Shall all ¦ these efforts be in vain and all this work undone now, when it is about tp . be crowned with success, and' the Jews of these lands are about to enter the promised land of self-support and self-. . .respect? ; " ¦' .,/ ' "Onie-half million dollars will work this magic; will keep all these institu¬ tions of learning and trades open until . such a:,time when there will be no fur¬ ther call: upon us for aid.

T. A.')—The appoint¬ ment of Dr. S. Rosenbaum as Minister for Jewish Affairs is a source of grati¬ fication to Lithuanian Jewry, especially as there were sinister rumors in circu¬ lation recently that the Ministry for Jewish Affairs would be abolished and a ministry of all National Minorities es¬ tablished under a German minister. The Jewish deputies and the Jewish National Council made vigorous repre¬ sentations to the Government against such a policy and on the establishment of the Coalitioh' Government, M. Gal- vanowsky invited Dr. Rosenbaum and asked him to take over the Ministry for Jewish Affairs. In conversation with representatives of the Jewish Press, Dr. Rosenbaum said: "The relations between the Lith¬ uanian people and the Jews of the country haye recently been strained. My view is that there must be an improve¬ ment in this regard. This will be one of my principal aims as a member of the Government. I hope that the Gov¬ ernment will strive to make possible the peaceful cooperation of all the nationali¬ ties in Lithuania. , - ,"¦ "I, have- jiftver,!' he proceeded -!'had*^'Si- personal policy.

"Our aim must be to safeguard our national rights guaranteed in the con¬ stitution and for that purpose legalize the National Council as'the highest or¬ gan of our autonomy, and to realize our citizenship rights in the economic sphere." The new government is au:oali^on of the Christian Democratic Party and the People's Socialist Party, under the Premiership of M. Galvanowski, the former premier.

The number of dead in the old Jewish cemetery of Odessa rose last year from 7,721 to 20,380. In Cherson more than half the Jewish population died out. It is only due to the work of the foreign relief institutions that some stop has been put to this terrible rate of mortality. The help which these institutions are giving, on a much smaller scale now, is the only thing that is keeping the Jews SkUvfe in Russia. ;,'' FELIX WARBURG JOINS COMMUNITY TRUST ARAB DELEGATION REACHES LONDON LONDON (J. t.

A.)—AlfRough the flow of emigration from Russia will be at a standstill for more than a month, a total of 8,316 of Jewish would-be emi¬ grants have registered at "Yidgescom" offices throughout Russia. Of this number 6,237 are of the first category, having both affidavits" from Anierican relatives and steamship tick¬ ets. They are expected to leave Russia some tittie before October 1. A home for transient emigrants In Moscow will be opened by the Yidges¬ com August 1, to serve as shelter for women and children only. ; problem of' Hie Jirws Russia. The food parcel which saves a starving family from death cannot re¬ store the position of the Jews in the Ukraine. The only thing which could improve the position there and recon¬ struct the economic life of the Jewish population is the establishment of credit cooperatives for artisans, small traders and merchants, to enable them to buy materials and tools. The new economic policy in Russia gives us an opportunity to raise these loan funds. A beginning has -.already been made. Almost' in every town in the Ukraine small credit cooperatives are being established un¬ der the control of Jewish communal workers. It is our duty to support these cooperatives in order to put a stop to the begging system and to place our work on a more solid foundation. It is not necessary to have a great deal of money to help a family to regain its po¬ sition. Five pounds which is in Russia at the present rate of exchange about a million rubles, could make a Jewish family self-supporting. I have seen while I was in Russia, that two or three pounds given to a Jewish family which was reduced to begging in the streets have enabled it to reestablish itself and become self-supporting. At the same time I want to tmpha- size that relief to individuals in the form of food and clothing must not under an/circumstances be stopped at present The stoppage of relief even for one day means the loss of a large number of the Jewish population. If the Jewish popu lation in the Ukraine is to remain alive it must have its food every day until the cooperatives will be working and will have sufficient means at their dis¬ posal to restore the ruins of Russian and Ukrainian Jewry." It must be real¬ ized that there are in Russia today large numbers of the intellectual classes whd have no means of earning a livelihood and are entirely dependent on the food, parcels. These intellectuals who will ope.day be the leaders of Russian Jewry must now be supported by all the means at our disposal. Then there are a large number of widows and pogrom orphans. The widows would work, no matter how hard the work, to keep their .children' alive. But there is nothing for them to do. There are no openings of any kind. So you find them in the streets selling matches or ncivspapers, I would say that the best Jewish ele¬ ments in Russia, the intellectuals, are living on the streets on whatever hap¬ pens to coine to hand. Therefore, in addjtion to our constructive work, we must go on with the ordinary relief Wprk of sending out food parcels, prin- tirttlly for the relief of the Jewish in¬ tellectuals. Gov. Smith Urges Religious Education For Jewish Children Declares Problem Important to Community as Care of Sick and Poor ENDORSES THE JEWISH EDUCATION ASSOCIATION to overnment cate¬ gorically refused. The Soviet Govern¬ ment docs not wish to allow any chil¬ dren to leave Russia. Communism is being implanted into the younger gen- iration and the Government hopes that the rising generations will carry.on and .spread its Communist teachings. This is the point of view from which the question of the orphans is at present be¬ ing regarded by the Government. They are not thinking of the fact that mean¬ while large numbers of them are dying of starvation. ¦ There is also an alarming lack of clothing in Russia. The population and largely the Jewish population is walk¬ ing about in rags. It is impossible to describe how essential it is to send large quantities of clothing to the Ukraine. It ing. You are fallen upon and your clothes are stripped from you. The Government is doing all it can to stop this banditism but it is helpless against it. I have found in many of the chil¬ dren's homes large numbers of child.ren lying naked on their beds in the middle of the day because they have no clothes in which to go out. The clothes are worn by the children in turn and it is necessary for one lot to wait until the others have been in the street before they can dress themselves and go out. It was a very important event, therefore, when I received the clothing transport sent out to me by the London Federation of Ukrainian Jews. As soon as the news was spread abroad that the clothes had arrived, I was simply overwhelmed with requests and petitions from com¬ mittees, communal organizations, widows and students. Ambng the many appeals I received was one from a rabbi of Kmitrowki. His whole family had per-*["f ishcd in a pogrom, together with all the Jewish population of the town. He, too, had been shot through the stomach. He showed me that he possessed nothing more in the world than the shirt he was wearing. A second petition I had' was from a student, a married man, who had to support his inother, who was a widow, and her three other children. His father had been killed in the pogroms. At night he acted as a watchman to guard the shops against thieves. For that he received a hundred million roubles a month — about 10 shillings (about $2.50) Besides that he gave three lessons daily for which he got'three million roubles. Naturally, he could not by any stretch of the imagination manage to clothe himself and his family. For twelve hours every night he, had. to stand in the streets in the frost, and for three hours during the day he was engaged at his lessons. The remaining nine hours he had free for stiidy and sleep. And yet he is an excellent student with a good academic future before him. It was tp these'applicants whose case was similar to theirs that I distributed the clothing sent out by the London Federation of Ukrainian Jews, ALBANY, N. Y. (J. T. A.)—Re¬ ligious training of 'the children of all faiths and all creeds is urged by Gov. Alfred Smith in a letter he has just sent to the Jewish Educational Association of. New York. The governor says that the association vvhich is engaged in a campaign to take ten thousand Jewish children off the streets and, place them in religious schools this fall, is dealing with a fun¬ damental problem as important to the community as the care of the sick and the poor. The campaign is headed by Nathan Stra'uss, Judge Otto Rosalsky, Judge Edward Luzansky, Israel Unterberg, Jacob Wener, Samuel Rottenberg and Bernard Semel. Governor Smith's letter in part fol¬ lows : "I have noted with deep interest in your communication to me that hun¬ dreds of thousands of children, both Christian and Jewish, are growing up in this state without any religious edu¬ cation. This fact must challenge the conscience of every rightminded man 'jani^i.W£>«!ar^v.«M^»is.- st^e?.--toe^ecriiMf-trf, his race or creed. No state or country can long endure which neglects to in¬ culcate the principles of morality and religion in the minds and hearts of its young people. "I agree with you that the vast ma¬ jority of the 90 per cent of all offenders who come' before our criminal courts' could have been saved if they had come under the influence of a religious educa¬ tion in their childhood. "The Jewish Education Association, of which you are the president, is deal¬ ing with a most fundamental problem in the only way it can be solved, and that is, by religious education. I sin¬ cerely hope that my fellow citizens of the Jewish faith will respond as gen¬ erously to this campaign to put ten thousand Jewish children into religious schools as they are accustomed to an¬ swer the' call for help to the poor,- the sick ^nd the delinquent." FORD OUT WITH ANOTHER LIBEL AGAINST JEWS DETROIT (J. T.

He urges the recognition of-Mexico by the United States as a means of saving that coun¬ try from the clutches of the "grasping Jews." The general organizations like the American Relief Administration, Dr. Nansen's Inte'rnational Committee and the Ukrainian Red Cross have op.ened a number pf kitchens, but of late their work is being reduced because of the lack of funds.

THE GREATEST JEWISH LIBRARY NOW AT^SEMINARY Makes New York Institution the Jewish Cultural Centre of World INTERESTING HISTORY REGARDING BOOKS NICW YORK —The collection of 10,000 volumes and in hand on parch¬ ment, gathered from a score of coun¬ tries in years of patient search by Elkan Nathan Adler, British barrister and stu- deiu of Jewish history, has arrived safely and the work of unpacking, clas¬ sifying and estimating these indices to certain periods of Semitic history is well under way. This vvas disclosed on Wednesday by the Faculty of the Jewish Theological Seminary, ,"i'!l West ]2.'W street, where the books and parchnieiils are being ar¬ ranged. .Mlhough the task of apprais¬ ing the historical value of the items has really nol yet begun, and will take years to complete, a preliminary survey caused professors at the seminary to declare the collection to be of great value. '!I have no hesitation in saying," de¬ clared Professor Alexander Marx, an authority on Jevvish lore, "that these books and manuscripts constitute the greatest Jevvish library assembled in all history and its possession by the Jewish Theological Seminary makes that insti¬ tution the Jevvish cultural centre of the world." The collections are the result of travels by Mr. Adler, son of the late Dr. Herman Adler, chief rabbi of London, in Egypt, Palestine, Algiers, Tripoli, Persia, Spain, South America, Turkey, ' the Balkans, Portugal and India, in the period between 1888 and IflOO. For years the treasure trove of ancient documents remained in a five-story house in Lon¬ don, where the items of the collection were catalogued and partly appraised by Mr. Adler. Sold to Theological Seminary A short time ago, with Mortimer L. Schiff, taking the initiative, negotiations were begun to acquire the collections for American Jewry. The negotiations were conducted through Dr. A. S., W, pliia, well-knovvn clealer, "wfi'o" volun-""'" teered his services. Early in this year the collection was sold to the. Theologi¬ cal Seminary for $125,000, the price making the collection a virtual gift. In order that the sale might be made, Mr. Schiff contributed a sum said to have been more than 50 per cent of the total, while others who aided in bring¬ ing the collection to this country were: Louis Marshall, Felix M. Warburg, Daniel Guggenheim, Herbert Lehman, Jules E. Mastbaum, Jacob Epstein, Sol M. Stroock, Joseph Stroock, Nathan Miller, Feljjc Ful^l, Israel Unterberg and Henry S. Hendricks. In scores of stout packing cases the books and the writings made the trip from London, arriving at intervals since the latter part of April, and even yes¬ terday eighteen of the packing boxes remained unpacked. What may be con¬ cealed in these, Dr. Marx this week would not even venture to guess, but the contents of other boxes piled high- on tables and overrunning the shelves in the seminary library have yielded many curious and rare shreds of Jewish history. Some of the books dated back to 640 A. D., and the cowhide vellum pages of others span a wide range of interest from comments on the Jewish laws and elaborately illuminated and painstakingly written Bibles to astrology, bills of di¬ vorce, quitclaims and books throwing new light on the dark days of the Span¬ ish Inquisition. When Iiabella Reigned The collections when they have finally been arranged and scholars have had opportunity to scan the pages of the past are expected to disclose new details of the tragic role of the Jew; in the in¬ tolerance of the Middle Ages. Especially rich are the collections in data on events in Spain and Portugal during the reign- of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. One of the documents is a list of Chris¬ tians suspected of having had cor¬ respondence with Jews ¦who had fled to Holland to escape persecution. Notes show that the suspected correspondents were liable to execution. Royal decrees by the Spanish sover¬ eigns and dread orders;,issued'by the ¦ inquisition are in the collections, as are official records bound in souvenir form of autos da fe in the early seventeenth century, to which are attached carefully copied sermons preached by high digni¬ taries of the Catholic Cliurch on the oc¬ casions of execution, / The plight of the Jew in Portugal in the period from 1621 to 1640 when King Philip reigned is outlined in the 520 pages of 180 documents, virtually all {Concluded on page 4.)

Jim Lewis is a Hack
I don't know anything about how the New York Times chooses their book reviewers. I suspect that they must have some kind of system, because randomly choosing people couldn't possibly result in the kind ineptness they consistently display.
Take for example Jim Lewis. In today's edition, he reviews Denis Johnson's somewhat anticipated new novel. I say "somewhat" because everything Johnson has written since Jesus's Son has been disappointing to greater or lesser degrees, and many of us who love that collection have nearly given up on him. I haven't read Tree of Smoke yet, but this over-the-top piece of hack reviewing doesn't make me want to.
Take for example this little gem of a comparison by Lewis. Discussing Johnson's typical characters, he notes "But unlike most books about the dispossessed, they're original (how strange it feels to use that word these days, but it fits), and what's more, deliriously beautiful — ravishing, painful; as desolate as Dostoyevsky, as passionate and terrifying as Edgar Allan Poe." That sentence tells you all you need to know about Jim Lewis's capabilities as a reader. First of all, comparing Johnson to Dostoyevsky is gratuitous, to say the least, but worse is the fact that his comparison equates one of the greatest novelists of all time with the author of "The Raven." Poe's stories are good for frightening children (and NYT book reviewers), but they are not remotely in the league of the big D. Anything else this reviewer says is automatically discredited after this statement.
His review has other gems, including his announcement that "I spent a long time reading "Tree of Smoke," and as I neared the end I found myself wishing it were longer."
Such dazzling prose! What wit! What insight!
There is no point in reading this review unless, like me, you take a perverse pleasure in the writers for "America's newspaper" sucking so badly. We expect this kind of palaver in the toothless world of poetry reviews. Apparently, fiction suffers a similar malady.

TomTom Start 20 satnav
Travelling light
Review TomTom's entry level Start satnavs have long been the default choice for anyone wanting a reliable but basic PND. Now the range has been given a wash and brush up with the release of some new 4.3in screen devices with prices starting at £130.
Baby driver: TomTom's Start 20
The design of the Start 20 addresses a couple of long-standing bug bears with many PND users, namely windscreen clutter and suction ring marks. The new integrated ball-and-socket mounting will let you stick the device either the usual way up or upside down, with the screen flipping through 180 degrees depending on orientation.
The advantage of this is that you can mount the unit on your dashboard as well as your windscreen. Ideally, to use it on the dash you need to cough up £5 for a pack of two self-adhesive mounting rings but as long as there is a convenient flat surface, you don't actually need them.
It's an impressively flexible design that can be set to just about any angle you care to conceive of. Once you've become used to it being mounted on the dash, you won't ever want to go back to sticking it to the windscreen. The integrated holder is also a compact affair – fold it flat against the unit and it only adds another 15mm making the whole rig extremely easy to slip into a bag or pocket.
Stick to the road
The Start 20 is the first satnav I have come across to use a micro rather than mini USB socket for charging and the bundled 12V plug connects with a standard USB port. Not earth-shattering developments, I grant you, but life is easier when your PND and smartphone can share cables.

Tamar Adler's Brooklyn Kitchen
Tamar Adler, accomplished chef and author of culinary memoir The Everlasting Meal as well as many published articles, is generous and passionate about fresh homemade food. Her Brooklyn kitchen is roomy, practical and functional—a place where wild tomato canning parties for 20 unfold and quiet solitary cups of tea are sipped. It's a delightful place, where I wanted to stay and chat and pick the brain some more of one of my favorite authors.
Tamar's kitchen isn't overly stylish or unique — it's just pretty. It looks very well used, and there are many personal details that make it feel lived in and loved, such as the spoon collection at the stove top (most have brown bits from being singed at a simmering pot) and the remains of the vast canning operation that had occurred just a few days before my visit.
Tamar's emphasis on using up all that she brings in this kitchen can be found in the various broths left over from vegetable ends, and the myriad of homemade jams and relishes lingering about the fridge. It's inspiring to see someone's published cooking philosophy so apparent in their own kitchen.
Tamar's kitchen is organized but not in a crazed, overly packaged sense. Her systems have to do with gathering like items and ingredients, a basic scheme but one that is practical and lovely every time I see it. Tamar has a love of expensive, delectable pantry items such as imported sardines, good teas, extra-virgin oil and fresh bread. I'd bet she could whip up ten scrumptious appetizers in about 5 minutes without ever stepping out of her kitchen. It is this inventiveness and creativity and ability to see possibilities in limitations that make Tamar and inspired cook and host.
Thanks for the visit Tamar!

10 Questions for Tamar
1. What inspires your kitchen and your cooking?
My kitchen is inspired by circumstance. I live in a friend's apartment, which has a big, open room on the first floor. I lugged a big butchery table into the middle of it, put my few and rather weatherworn pots and pans in a drawer, and called it my kitchen. I can't say my cooking is much less practical. It isn't inspired as much as born of the fact that it really matters to me that all my food tastes good, and that it's been grown with as little negative impact on the soil or beings that stewarded it as possible. So, I buy vegetables and the odd chicken and fish from the people who steward well, and then I cook them. I think that probably my cooking is most Mediterranean, because it's what I grew up eating, and it's simple and good.
2. What is your favorite kitchen tool or element?
I like the idea of a kitchen element. Oxygen! My favorite tool is my Thai mortar and pestle.
3. What's the most memorable meal you've ever cooked in this kitchen?
When my oldest friend came to New York for the first time with her Italian boyfriend I threw a big dinner party for 28 people, all seated at a long table. We had to sit two to a chair, some of us, and a lot of people had to eat with chopsticks, others got spoons. The meal was cold lamb leg with salsa verde and chicken liver pate on toasts, and then roast chickens and boiled potatoes and braised artichokes and lots of aioli, then cutting boards covered in cheeses and tons of plums and peaches. I loved that meal.
4. The biggest challenge in your kitchen:
Oh, I don't know. I think it all works fine.
5. Is there anything you wish you had done differently?
I didn't make this kitchen, and I doubt I'll make my next. I'm not an idealist on this matter. If it's got somewhere to cut and a heating element, and ideally running water, I'm happy enough.
6. Biggest indulgence or splurge in the kitchen:
I buy expensive ingredients — simple ones. I'll spend anything you ask on Rocambola garlic, good olive oil. My bread costs $9 a loaf. I have a $16 can of sardines. But, so it is.
7. Is there anything you hope to add or improve in your kitchen?
I am out of all but three bottles of wine that I'm keeping for another year. Wine!
8. How would you describe your cooking style?
9. Best cooking advice or tip you ever received:
It usually needs salt. It almost always needs salt, and a little squeeze of lemon juice, and probably a final addition of fat.
10. What are you cooking this week?
I'm eating the most wonderful boiled broccoli with chilies I pickled a couple of weeks ago right now. And then tomorrow or later I'm going to roast tiny little eggplants with a lot of herbs and an ungodly amount of olive oil, then store them in that and red wine vinegar. And pretty speckled romano beans. They might be called dragons' tongue beans, actually.

Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Troubleshooting Guide -- Troubleshooting WCCP
From DocWiki
This article describes how to troubleshoot Web Cache Communication Protocol version 2 (WCCPv2) on Cisco NX-OS.
Information About Troubleshooting WCCP
The Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) is a content-routing protocol that enables a Cisco NX-OS router to transparently redirect packets to cache engines. It has built-in load balancing, scaling, fault tolerance, and service-assurance (failsafe) mechanisms. WCCP version 2 (WCCPv2) is the only version supported on Cisco NX-OS devices.
See the Configuring WCCPv2 chapter in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide for more information on WCCPv2.
Problem Scenarios
Reasons For Service Group Startup Failure
- WCCP Client fails to see ISU messages and is stuck in the NOT Usable state.
- Confirm by enabling the WCCP event debugging messages and looking for bad Receive ID messages.
- The reason for the failure would in general be a connectivity problem and may be mismatched speed or duplex settings.
- The WCCP Client is requesting a capability which is not supported by the router probably because of platform limitations.
- This can be confirmed by enabling WCCP event debugging and looking for Capability Mismatch messages.
- The WCCP Client is requesting a capability which is not supported by the service group.
- This will occur if a service group is already formed and the WCCP Client configuration does not match the existing service.
- This is a misconfiguration of the WCCP Client and can be confirmed by enabling WCCP event debugging and looking for Capability Mismatch messages.
- HIA event messages may indicate other reasons why the router rejected an incoming "Here I Am" message.
- Some WCCP clients don't adhere to the configured forward/return methods and prefer to always default to "GRE" forward/return. The Cisco Nexus 7000 requires L2 forward/return methods. ACNS, WAAS, etc. might need to be configured with the assign-method-strict option. This type of failure can be seen with packet traces. The client does not respond to the Cisco Nexus 7000 with a sent RXID but will keep sending HIA with a receive ID of 0.
Client LossA WCCP Client is removed form a service group when the router loses contact with the WCCP Client.
- The service group has been disabled on the WCCP Client.
- Check the WCCP Client configuration.
- The service definition has been changed on the WCCP Client
- Check the WCCP Client configuration.
- Loss of physical connectivity to the WCCP Client.
- Verify connectivity using the ping command.
- Message loss between the router and WCCP Client perhaps because of a heavily utilized link or a flapping interface.
- Enable WCCP packet debugging and confirm message exchange.
- WCCP Client loss from a service group is indicated by the console message:
%WCCP-1-SERVICELOST: Service Service ID lost on WCCP client IP address
Packet Redirect Counts Not Incrementing
- The WCCP service not present on the interface.
- Verify using the show running-config interface ifname command.
- The WCCP service is not active.
- Check the service state using the show ip wccp web-cache | service-number detail command.
- Verify using the show running-config wccp command.
- The WCCP service definition does not match the traffic to be redirected.
- Check the service definition using the show ip wccp service-number service command.
- WCCP service mismatch is indicated by the console message:
%WCCP-1-SERVICEMISMATCH: Service Service ID mismatched on WCCP client IP address
- Matching traffic is excluded from redirection by the redirect ACL.
- Monitor the redirect ACL count using the show ip wccp service-number command.
- No traffic matching the WCCP service is traversing the interface.
- Define an extended IP access list to get an independent count of matching traffic.
- All traffic redirection is done by the platform hardware.
Potential problems
- Direct communication between WCCP client and host
- The Cisco Nexus 7000 requires that the host running the browser, the WCCP clients, be attached to different L3 interfaces (the hosts cannot be present in the same subnet).
- Service definition mismatch
- There is no mechanism on a Cisco WCCP Client to mark two services as complementary. This also appears to be true for third party vendors. This has the consequence that the two services can drift apart over time. On service startup there is usually no problem however, as WCCP clients leave and rejoin either of the services the assignments change independently meaning that an outgoing connection and the corresponding incoming connection may not be redirected to the same WCCP Client. If that happens the configuration is broken.
- Check for this condition by comparing the assignments shown with the show ip wccp [web-cache | service number] detail command. The only way currently to correct the condition is to restart both services.
- Asymmetric routing
- As long as the incoming connection returns to any router in the complementary service group that will happen automatically. Note that the connection does not have to go to the exact same router as the outgoing connection, just the same service group. In any given network the routes to a particular destination may be numerous which raises the possibility that traffic returning from an origin server may take a different route to the outgoing traffic and fail to hit routers in the complementary service group. In that case the connection will not be redirected and the configuration will be broken. There is no way round this other than to ensure that there is no asymmetric routing taking place.

1. (noun) Anyone who acts like a little bitch via the social network known as Facebook.

(noun) A person, likely in or just out of their teenage years, whom spends the majority of their free-time, which they tend to have copious amounts of due to a lack of employment or social life, complaining via Facebook status updates.

Rogers, one of four seniors skating their final game for Harvard, was 17-8 at the faceoff dot (photo courtesy Patrick Shanahan).
ITHACA, N.Y.—Blake Gallagher broke a scoreless tie in the second period and No. 9 Cornell added another goal and an empty-netter late in the third to defeat the Harvard men's hockey team, 3-0, and win the teams' ECAC Hockey quarterfinal series Saturday night at Lynah Rink.
Kyle Richter made 29 saves for the Crimson (9-21-3), seeded ninth in the league tournament, while Ben Scrivens stopped 17 shots to record the shutout for the second-seeded Big Red (19-8-4). The result ends the Crimson's season and sends Cornell to the ECAC semifinals Friday in Albany, N.Y.
Neither team scored in the opening period despite plenty of action in each end. Richter made the best of his seven saves on Riley Nash during a Cornell power play, the period's only man advantage, and on Sean Collins at the final buzzer. Harvard put the puck in the offensive corners for some long stretches, but Scrivens stopped all three Crimson shots on net.
The end-to-end play continued in the second period, with one sequence seeing Richter stop a Colin Greening breakaway and Scrivens gloving a shot by Luke Greiner off a Michael Del Mauro pass. No one broke through until Sean Whitney found Gallagher with a backdoor pass to give Cornell the lead at 12:05. The Big Red held a 17-7 shots edge in the frame.
Another scoreless 14 minutes to start the third period followed. Richter made an impressive stacked-pad save, and Scrivens stopped a bad-angle rebound bid from Marshall Everson. Collins gave the Big Red some breathing room at 14:37, stuffing in the puck from the right side. Greening added an empty-net tally with 33.7 seconds remaining.
Cornell owned a 32-17 shots advantage. Harvard held a 27-19 edge in faceoffs, led by a season-high 17 wins by senior Doug Rogers. The game was Ted Donato's 200th as Crimson head coach.
