Here is my hypothesis on measuring the value of good innings in test cricket based on 'when' it is played. This hypothesis is based on an intuition that 4th innings century makers have been unjustly glorified as 'match winners' as opposed to more deserving first innings century makers. Ideally I wanted to pull some data from "stats-guru" database to back the hypothesis. But time constraints and inability to pull the data the way I want to has left me with the cop-out option of just stating the hypothesis and have a kind soul prove or disprove the hypothesis. This hypothesis is not earth shattering or by any means new. It is in fact very obvious to most and in general used as an axiom by most test cricket captains. I state this only to counter-point a new trend in cricket analysis that seems to glorify 4th innings centuries. So here goes
1. Team that bats well in their first innings of the test match is less likely to lose the test match. (Note that this is very different from saying "...more likely to win the test match").
2. The above point can be proven by analyzing data of all test matches played so far. We should find that the team with the higher first innings score would have a greater likelihood of *not* losing the match. As a corollary we should also find that the greater the gap between first innings scores the lesser the instance of team scoring higher having lost the match. For e.g. In instances where delta between first innings scores of two teams is 50 (lets call this variable 'X') or less - let us hypothetically say that the percentage of instances where team scoring higher in first innings loses the test match only 8% of the time (let us call this percentage 'B'). The assertion I am going after is that B is super inversely proportional to X. This data is hard to get and holds the key to whether my theory has any merit or not.
3. Restating 2 to narrow down to the point I want to make - As X (per definition above) increases - the ability of each subsequent innings of that test match to change/reverse the course of that test match decreases. For example When X = 100 let us say that the probability of 3rd innings of the match changing the course of the match is N. Hypothesis here is that the probability of 4th innings changing the course of the test match is actually N/2 or worse. Further hypothesis is that as X increases 3rd innings becomes more and more irrelevant and 4th innings a mere formality to be closed out.
Now up until now #1, #2 and # 3 above are bleeding obvious. Now lets get down to the merely obvious.
4. Following from #1 above - teams should look to maximize the first innings score as much as possible in order to give them the best shot of winning a test match.
5. Following from #2 if a team is faced with a choice of picking Player-1 who will reliably perform well in the first innings of a match Vs Player-2 who will reliably perform in the second innings of a match. The team should always pick Player 1 to firstly maximize there chances of not losing the match and secondly to set themselves up for a win.
6. Following from #3 it is true that in those very rare instances where a player's 4th innings score manages to change the course of the match they have a higher probability of being noticed purely because the event is a low-probability one and so happens very rarely. However, it can be argued (not always) that the player is "curing" a situation as opposed to "preventing" the situation. And if he had batted well in the first innings things would actually have been much better (statement is based on assumption that the said player isn't hitting a century in both innings but 'woke up' in the 4th innings to play well). Sort of analogous to doing well in your arrears exam as opposed to the actual exam. Yes arrears has infinitely more pressure but you shouldn't be writing one in the first place. And you can't be regarded as a good student just because you do consistently well in arrears.
But the direction we are trying to get to is that the most important phase of the test match is the team's first innings. That is what should be called as the "crunch time". And a player who consistently plays well under those circumstances should be regarded as a player who is more effective in winning the match for the team by playing well "when it matters". This is the player who should be regarded as a match-winner
Needless to say - I am stating this as hypothesis based on casual and random filtering and sorting of cricinfo data. I do realize that this may be completely wrong.
P.S: In support of the hypothesis some of the types of data I wanted to pull outside of what was mentioned in #2 are as follows:
a. what % of the matches won by a team had centuries scored by some batsman in the first innings of the match? (knowing fully well that 'century isnt the only definition of good innings but merely a decent indicator)
b. what % of the matches not lost by a team had centuries scored by some batsman in the first innings of the match?
c. what % of the matches lost by a team had centuries scored by some batsman in the first innings of the match?

I made a new sweater!
Okay, so the green one is new; I made the other one over a year ago. This new one will be a gift. Making the gift sweater gave me the impetus to "read" last year's sweater and take notes this time (I swear I had notes the first time, but who knows where they went) and turn it into a very easy and enjoyable pattern, now available for $5.
Huge thanks go out to my friend Amy, who is modeling the brown/orange original World Series Sweater... it was so cold outside when we took these photos. I am wearing the green new World Series Sweater since I like the fact that it looks cool with a lot of ease (I am wearing the 36 inch bust size, and the sizes are meant to have about 3-4 inches of positive ease - so it actually measures 40 inches across the bust, and I am a 32 inch bust). The brown/orange sweater is the 32 inch size, and Amy is somewhere between a 32 and 34 inch bust, and I like the way the sweaters are so flattering on both of us. I don't think you can mess this one up, flattering-wise.
I don't think I've ever made such an easy sweater, and the color possibilities are endless. And it has a Missoni vibe to it, but it's not make out of whatever synthetic blend Missoni sweaters tend to use... it's all wool, baby.

Trading Review Focus on Super Micro Computer (SMCI)
Investors might be looking to track the ATR or Average True Range of the stock. Currently, Super Micro Computer (SMCI) has a 14-day ATR of 0.76. The Average True Range is an investor tool used to measure stock volatility.
The ATR is not used to figure out price direction, just to measure volatility. The ATR is an indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder.
Wilder has developed multiple indicators that are still quite popular in today's investing landscape. The general interpretation of the ATR is the higher the ATR value, the higher the volatility. The Williams Percent Range or Williams %R is another technical indicator worth checking out.
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) currently has a 14 day Williams %R of -50.50. The Williams %R fluctuates between 0 and -100 measuring whether a security is overbought or oversold. The Williams %R is similar to the Stochastic Oscillator except it is plotted upside-down.
Levels above -20 may indicate the stock may be considered is overbought. If the indicator travels under -80, this may signal that the stock is oversold. Chart analysts may also use the indicator to project possible price reversals and to define trends.
The Average Directional Index or ADX is technical analysis indicator used to discern if a market is trending or not trending. The ADX alone measures trend strength but not direction. Using the ADX with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) may help determine the direction of the trend as well as the overall momentum.
Many traders will use the ADX alongside other indicators in order to help spot proper trading entry/exit points. Currently, the 14-day ADX for Super Micro Computer (SMCI) is 37.56. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend.
A value of 25-50 would indicate a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signal a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would indicate an extremely strong trend. Traders may be leaning on technical stock analysis to help with investing decisions.
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of -79.47. Despite the name, CCI can be used on other investment tools such as stocks. The CCI was designed to typically stay within the reading of -100 to +100.
Traders may use the indicator to determine stock trends or to identify overbought/oversold conditions. A CCI reading above +100 would imply that the stock is overbought and possibly ready for a correction. On the other hand, a reading of -100 would imply that the stock is oversold and possibly set for a rally.
Traders are paying renewed attention to shares of Super Micro Computer (SMCI). The current 14-day RSI is presently sitting at 30.94, the 7-day is 27.12, and the 3-day is 33.19. The RSI, or Relative Strength Index is a popular oscillating indicator among traders and investors.
The RSI operates in a range-bound area with values between 0 and 100. When the RSI line moves up, the stock may be experiencing strength. The opposite is the case when the RSI line is heading lower.
Different time periods may be used when using the RSI indicator. The RSI may be more volatile using a shorter period of time. Many traders keep an eye on the 30 and 70 marks on the RSI scale.
A move above 70 is widely considered to show the stock as overbought, and a move below 30 would indicate that the stock may be oversold. Traders may use these levels to help identify stock price reversals. Investors may be searching for stocks that are undervalued.
Scanning the markets during obvious pullbacks may be one strategy, but it may take a more concerted effort to identify these names if the market decides to climb further. Getting caught up in the details from news and various economic reports may leave the average investor dizzy and confused. Focusing on the most important data sets may be helpful when trying to muffle all the noise.
Heading into the next quarter, investors will be watching which companies are experiencing positive earnings momentum. Often times, earnings that vastly beat expectations may cause the stock to skyrocket. Filling the portfolio with stocks experiencing positive earnings momentum may be a popular choice.
Investors may want to look a little bit deeper into the situation to make sure that the momentum is justified.
Some investors may already be adept at figuring this out while others may need to put in a bit more work.

Is Verizon Wireless Violating Its Promise To Be Open By Blocking Google Wallet?
from the openness-in-name-only dept
There was some news a few weeks ago saying that Verizon Wireless was blocking Google's mobile payment offering, Google Wallet, on its Galaxy Nexus phones, and that's prompted Stanford professor Barbara van Schewick to ask the FCC to investigate if Verizon Wireless is breaking the law.
Verizon's conduct undermines the Commission's general approach towards mobile Internet openness by dismantling the protections for one part of the spectrum on which the FCC's "incremental" approach to regulation in this space is built. Without enforcement, the openness conditions are effectively moot. Verizon violated these conditions earlier this year when it blocked tethering applications. Now it is blocking Google Wallet. This emerging pattern of disregard for its license conditions challenges the FCC to follow through on its pledges in the Open Internet Order to enforce the openness conditions in the 700 MHz band and to monitor the mobile Internet space for abuses by licensees.While I agree that this is a bad move for consumers, I'm wondering if it really makes sense for the FCC to be involved here. The FCC has always been pretty weak in sanctioning telcos for doing anything wrong and I'm not sure much would really happen here either. The more effective thing is to watch what the market is already doing -- including quickly figuring out a way to hack Google Wallet back on to the phone. On top of that, this story reflects extremely poorly on Verizon Wireless and would make me question if I'd continue to use them (if I did today, which I don't). So while I agree it's a dumb move on VZW's part, I'm not sure it's dumb enough to reach the level that the FCC should be involved.

Ooh la la, a feast! The French Cultural Society / Slow Food BU potluck on Dec. 4th was très bien. So was yesterday's Food Bazaar-- we got the word out about Slow Food and made a few bucks serving up your works of culinary art. Thanks to all who participated!
Now that finals are upon us, we're wrapping things up for the semester. Hard to believe that Slow Food BU has only existed for two and a half months, considering everything we've done so far. There's lots more to come in the spring, so stay tuned...
If you'd like to keep up with slowfoody things over winter break, here are some ideas:
- Read! Some great new books to put on your [insert holiday here] list include:
- The United States of Arugula: How We Became a Gourmet Nation by David Kamp (highly recommended)
- The Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters
- Closing the Food Gap: Resetting the Table in the Land of Plenty by Mark Winne
- Gastroanomalies: Questionable Culinary Creations from the Golden Age of American Cookery by James Lileks

Petition of the day
The petition of the day is:
Issue(s): (1) Whether the Department of Transportation (DOT) violated the First Amendment by mandating "total cost" advertising and restricting airlines' truthful speech about the large (and ever growing) share of each ticket that consists of government taxes and fees; and (2) whether DOT exceeded its statutory mandate and acted arbitrarily and capriciously by re-regulating—down to the size of typeface and the length of mandatory refunds—an industry that Congress expressly chose to deregulate.

Anna Reed - Teaching, General Teaching Projects in Senegal
Extracts from Anna's updates which appeared in the Senegal newsletter:
The two weeks of summer school went well and there was a big party to celebrate the end of classes. All the teachers - myself included, though I felt a bit of a part-timer - were given a diploma and thanked by the various members of the community and school governors. There was a lot of hand-clapping, dancing and plays about SIDA, then someone had the bright idea, "why don't the teachers dance?" Knowing there was no chance of me looking cool, I well and truly proved that white girls can't dance. I seem to remember mixing the Whigfield 'Saturday Night' dance with 'Stayin' Alive', and the man from the local paper taking a photo which I hope will never resurface!
I'm now in my third week of teaching at College Cheikh Amadou Bamba and am thoroughly enjoying it. Apparently it's cool to be square in Senegal, which certainly makes the teacher's role easier. Repetition is the favoured teaching method which can get a bit tiresome, but it's what the pupils are used to. Trying to introduce working in pairs, groups or independently hasn't worked particularly well, but I shall keep persevering. The kids are certainly enthusiastic, apart from the handful of male 4èmes who just think they're far too cool for school.
Two and a half months on, the street vendors have realised that I'm really not going to buy anything and to the local children I'm just 'same old toubab', so walking in town has now become a tad more tranquil. The goats still impress. Sarah and I came across an absolute beauty at the weekend. We named it Buttons. It was quite simply the prettiest, most inquisitive and downright cute goat you could ever behold; we felt it necessary to compliment the family on their treasure and request their permission to photograph it.
Sarah knows its address, so if it makes it through Tabaski in one piece anyone coming out in the New Year should be able to track Buttons down. I am in fact organising a goat walk this week, which will take in all the well-known and indeed lesser-known goat hot-spots!
But enough of goats. Family life is fine, school life is good and social life is great. Now I've finished marking 240-odd tests and books I have a bit more spare time again! The temperature is a lot more bearable, mid to high twenties I guess, which to anyone in Britain now just before Christmas, must sound quite attractive.
All the volunteers took a trip to the desert at Loumpoul a couple of weeks back, dragging along Laura (the Projects Abroad co-ordinator)'s mum and brother who were visiting. The desert was good and if you liked eating prawns you were well away. If you didn't like prawns, you ate and immensely enjoyed those much-loved triangles of Laughing Cow cheese. Zal (who lives opposite the office) performed a fire dance which I think anyone present will have difficulty forgetting, mainly because he appeared to be wearing a large nappy. We had time for a short camel ride the next morning before the drive home.
More fun was to be had later that week, thanks to Laura's brainwave of having a table-football tournament at the office. The only problem was that the table didn't actually fit up the stairs, so 14 of us (volunteers, staff, the odd boyfriend and a couple of loiterers) took over the ground floor with much banging, shouting and booing. Diederick had the nerve to call me and Sarah crap. Danielle thrashed him in the next round. Issa and Diederick's first-round match was interrupted by a pitch invasion ( a passerby wanting to get to the front door), which appeared to distract Issa and he ended up losing quite drastically.
That said, we needed him to grill the fish for dinner so it worked out pretty well. Danielle was the overall champion and a very modest one it must be said. She pipped Laura to the post and Laura was a very gracious loser, while Zal, who couldn't believe he had been beaten by a girl, demanded to play the champion and funnily enough, lost again! A good evening was had by all.
Last weekend was Laura's birthday do, which consisted of a trip to a campement at l'hydrobase. It was basic, (no electricity, bucket of water) but fun. There was more dancing (Sarah was victorious in the dancing contest, maybe thanks to the lessons she's had from the girls in her host family), midnight swimming by a brave few, and a fair amount of eating, including a rather yummy birthday cake. The precious copies of Closer and FHM bought out by Laura's mum were looking pretty battered by the end of the weekend. 9 people, 2 magazines and a lot of sane - a lovely relaxing weekend.
Down to my last two and a half weeks now. I'm planning a short trip round Dakar, Casamance and the Siné-Saloum Delta before heading back to Britain for Christmas with the family. Apparently my parents have a new fridge. That's what awaits me when I get home. Smashing.

[Original post date: 10/28/09 1:45pm PST by Deep Sounding]
The Case Management hearing for some of the civil cases against william hamilton ayres, ("john doe 1") with multiple accusations relating to his molestation of his "patients," was heard today, just before 10am in courtroom 2F by Superior Court Judge George A. Miram.
Mr. Carcione, the lawyer for three of the plaintiffs, was present in the courtroom and the lawyer for the other plaintiff was on the conference phone. Also on the conference phone were the several of "john doe 1's" lawyers. There were two members of the public in support of the victims present in the courtroom. Neither "john doe 1" nor "Svea Schwein" were present. As always, there was no press present. (Who needs press when you have dumb-ass gadflies always hanging around in the courtroom, blogging it for free… right?)
Mr. Carcione has filed for a motion to have a stay of discovery lifted, as suggested by the judge at the last case management hearing, now that "john doe 1" himself has testified in the criminal case, and his 5th amendment plea status in the civil trials is now changed. That motion will be heard on December 8, 2009. Unfortunately, the judge was hoping that this motion would have been ruled on by the date of today's case management hearing.
Mr. Carcione asked to schedule a trial date, stating that he is "Ready for Trial." The judge agreed and wanted to set a date in October 2010 for trial.
The defense lawyers immediately began arguing that setting the court date at this time is premature, given the fact that the motion had been completed prior to today's hearing. That tactic did not seem to sway the judge from wanting to set a trial date which "would be the same date as the one that would be set" after another (pointless) case management hearing.
Suddenly deciding to try another tactic, one of the defense attorneys interrupted "OH!... Sorry to interrupt your honor…" she then stated that she "noted" that in the documents submitted prior this hearing "there is an additional defendant in the case who has been served, but not yet appeared…" She was referring to "John Doe 2" -- who has been listed in case management submissions for more than a year. Stumped by this statement, the judge said that all named defendants were served more than a year ago. Carcione confirmed this, as did the other plaintiff's attorney, who also clarified for everyone present exactly who the John Doe 2 defendant is. Discussion proceeded on this red hearing until the defense lawyer finally issued an only half apologetic "my bad." (something to that effect, anyway...)
The judge appeared a bit frustrated that the plaintiffs had not yet completed the motion for relief, but he was clearly very irate with the defense lawyers bickering and making inaccurate statements. He told the defense attorneys that it was likely that there would be no change in court date, as he would be setting the same trial date at the next hearing anyway, and he would track the trial "normally."( Not allowing an extended trial date if it was to wait until another case management hearing.) He kept insisting that another case management hearing would be a waste of the court's time (and the defendant's money) but they continued bickering.
"You're reading things into this that I REALLY don't appreciate!" The judge said at one point, just before ruling.
Ultimately the judge said that since the motion should have been completed by now, and since the defense wasn't getting his point, he reluctantly set a continuance of the case management hearing to one week after the motion hearing.
The next case management hearing is December 18, 2009 at 9am. He said: "I'm going to be setting your trial date" and told them to be prepared with their calendars.
Case numbers for four of the civil cases against ayres on charges including and relating to: child molestation and fraud perpetrated in the guise of providing "medical care" with the intent to molest: CIV467273, CIV467741, CIV467742, CIV467743

Saw the show last night in a small theater hall in Santa Rosa. All acoustic and yet it still ROCKED!!!
Anderson plays flutes, harmonica (on one blues number), mandolin and the SMALLEST guitar I've ever seen. From his website:
"During the eighties, I switched to guitars from Andrew Manson, an English luthier, who works in Devon producing hand-made guitars for aficionados of acoustic instruments. Based on traditional designs by the Martin Company as well as on the ideas of Andy and myself, we have come up with modern variations on the theme, giving a compact guitar with the resonance and playability associated previously with the big "jumbo" style guitars favoured by Country artists. The sexy little parlour guitars are not at all common in pop and rock music: indeed, I am probably one of the very few to use them. The instrument currently on tour with me is the smallest ever! It is a 3/4 size parlour guitar based on a French design of 150 years ago. I sent Andrew Manson the drawings and measurements and even he was surprised at how well it played and sounded, especially fitted with one of the Fishman transducer pick-ups which I have been using since the late eighties."
Amazing, full, rich sound from an incredibly small guitar!
Also, he is joined by 26 year old Bavarian guitarist, Florian Opahle, who uses his classical and flamenco training to pour out intricate and beautiful runs. For a young man, he is remarkably skilled and talented and blends the sounds of classical, flamenco and rock into outstanding hybrid sounds. And he ROCKS!!!
Great song selection and an exceptionally tight band. Never missed a beat even through numerous rapid tempo changes and rythym switches. Plus, Anderson is a showman, story teller, comic and b.s.er... all in all, a very talented entertainer. The only dissappointment was a total rework of "Aqualung", which ended up like a weird jazz cover version . He's probably tired of performing the same old version after 35 years, but if so, he should drop it from the set.
Anyway, great show, highly recommend it if he's in your area. Unfortunately, it's near the end of the US tour, but if you're in WA, grab a ticket fast. The tour's going to Czech and Germany next, so head's up over there.

Re: Ian Anderson Plays Acoustic Jethro Tull Concert
thanks for the review, hope a DVD is being considered
Re: Ian Anderson Plays Acoustic Jethro Tull Concert
I hate that when a group be it a cover band or even the original artist goes and does a new arrangement..in most but not all cases, they don't hit the mark of the original and I get disappointed. There are exceptions as with anything else. Actually I should qualify that I hate in when it is a song I liked, songs that I didn't like originally I have found more that are better when redone but it's all a matter of personal taste.The only dissappointment was a total rework of "Aqualung", which ended up like a weird jazz cover version
I can understand getting bored playing the same song for that many years, heck I'm sick of playing the same song we've been playing for a year.

Re: Ian Anderson Plays Acoustic Jethro Tull Concert
Jethro Tull rocks and will always rock! I have been a big fan since about 1971
Re: Ian Anderson Plays Acoustic Jethro Tull Concert
I've always thought it pretty cool that you could have a lead flautist in a rock band.
A little while ago, I came across a documentary about Ian Anderson from back in the late '80s.
Seems there's more to him than just music. Quite an interesting fellow.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Bulldogs will head into the Ivy League Championships with a 4-3 record in the Ivy League, after a convincing win over Brown this Sunday. The meet, which took place in the Robert Kiphuth Memorial Exhibition Pool, was tightly contested throughout the first several events, but the Bulldogs broke it open in the second half of the meet, eventually winning 181-119. Yale claimed 11 of the 16 events, with junior Susan Kim winning three individual and one relay event. Yale also set new pool records in the 200-yard breaststroke and 400-yard freestyle relay.
The fans came out to in support of the Bulldogs' final home meet of the season and the team's seniors. Senior Cameron Murphy had her own cheering section, dubbed the "Cameron Crazies", a tribute to the student section of Duke University basketball games. Yale fans brought along a sign and donned Duke Basketball jerseys. Along with the sign to Murphy, there were numerous other banners and posters congratulating the seniors, who were honored in a brief ceremony prior to the meet. The group being honored included Murphy, Emma Chapman, Emily Cole, Brenna Davis, Sara Fracapane, Katie French, Marilee Kiernan, Alexis Mann, Aidan McKinlay, Laura Strittmatter and Blake Walsh.
"We were really nervous heading into the meet," said Kim. "We were down about 29 points in the projection we did on paper before the meet. You never really know what you are going to get with Brown. Sometimes they show up and it is a tough race. We had a lot of surprises and our girls really stepped it up today. There were some really nice races."
The Bulldogs started off the meet in a dominating way, finishing one-two in the 200-yard medley relay. The team of freshman Hayes Hyde, Kim, junior Andrea Clifford and Mann took first with a time of 1:46.62. They were followed closely by the team of senior Brenna Davis, freshman Caroline Dewing, McKinlay, and freshman Erica Kao. That team finished in a time of 1:48.73 for a 15-2 point lead over the Bears.
Yale took second in the 1000-yard freestyle, despite leading for most of the race. Freshman Abigail Nunn had a slight lead on Brown's Allyson Schumacher for the first 21 laps. The two competed neck-to-neck for the next 16 laps, until Schumacher overtook Nunn with just three laps to go. Nunn held on for second and was joined by teammate Strittmatter who took third. Nunn's time was 10:12.02, while Stirttmatter's was 10:15.67.
In the 200-yard freestyle, Yale claimed second and third. Sophomore Annie Killian took second with a time of 1:55.21, followed by sophomore Kristin Darwin at 1:55.52. With back-to-back first place finishes for the Bears, they were able to close the gap to within five points, 30-25.
The 100-yard backstroke saw a close race between the top-three finishers. Sophomore Sage Erskine took first place for the Bears in a time of 59.10, but she was followed closely by Davis who just barely edged out Bridget Ballard of Brown by .06 seconds. Davis finished in a time of 59.34. Sophomore Leslie Roberson and Chapman finished in fifth and sixth, respectively.
With the Bears closing to within four points, the Bulldogs turned to their dominant breaststroker, Kim. Yale managed to go one-two in the 100-yard breaststroke with Kim claiming first, followed by Kiernan. Kim finished in a time of 1:04.22, with Kiernan touching in 1:05.55. Dewing also competed for the Bulldogs, coming in fourth with a time of 1:06.81. That race extended the Bulldogs lead to seven points and it was on to the 200-yard butterfly.
Hyde claimed top honors in the 200-yard butterfly, finishing in a time of 2:03.50. McKinlay and sophomore Ileana Lucos, back from injury, claimed third and fourth, respectively. That victory pushed the Bulldogs back out to a more comfortable 16 point lead, 64-48.
The final swim event, before the diving break, was the 50-yard freestyle. The Bulldogs dominated the event, taking the top two spots. Clifford managed to out-touch Mann by a mere .11 seconds. Clifford finished in a time of 23.85, followed closely by Mann at 23.96. Kao took fifth for the Bulldogs with a time of 24.61.
With the first seven events in the books, the Bulldogs held a strong lead 25 point lead, 78-53. The one-meter diving was next, where freshman Elizabeth Andrekovich, junior Marisa J Poverman, Rachel Rosenberg and Murphy all competed for the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs took three of the top for spots with Rosenberg coming in first at 246.21 points. Poverman and Murphy came in second and third with scores of 230.99 and 226.94, respectively. Andrekovich rounded out the Yale team in seventh with a score of 209.47.
After the break, the Bulldogs came out firing in the 100-yard freestyle. Mann jumped out to a lead in the first 50 yards, but Brown came crawling back in the last 25 yards. It came down to the wire, but Mann held on for first place with a time of 52.71. Other Yale swimmers in the event were Kao and Darwin who finished in fifth and sixth, respectively. The Bulldogs lead held strong through the diving and 100-yard freestyle at 24 points, 88-62.
The 200-yard backstroke was a tightly contested event with Yale's Davis leading through the first 100. As they made the turn into the last 25 yards, however, Brown's Kelley Wisinger and Davis were in a dead heat. Wisinger managed to just barely out-touch Davis to claim first place. Wisinger finished in a time of 2:06.17 with Davis just .02 seconds behind her at 2:06.19. Roberson and Chapman finished in fifth and sixth with times of 2:13.28 and 2:17.74, respectively.
Kim hit the pool again for her strongest event, the 200-yard breaststroke, and did not disappoint. The field kept it close through the first half of the race, but it was all over once they made the turn into the last 100-yards. Kim took open water on the field and won the race in a time of 2:15.96, breaking the pool record of 2:17.15 that had stood since 1995.
The 500-yard freestyle saw the Bulldogs again fall victim to Brown's Schumacher, but Nunn kept it close and managed to take second in a time of 4:59.56. This was a milestone for the young freshman who had yet to break the five minute mark. Strittmatter and senior Emily Cole came in fourth and fifth place, respectively. Strittmatter finished in a time of 5:03.27 and Cole came in just behind at 5:08.92. Although the Bulldog's did not win the event, there was jubilation as Nunn touched the wall.
"This was her first time breaking five minutes," said Kim. "She has always been capable of doing it, but it has been a sort of mental block for her. It just clicked today, and we were all really pumped for her."
If there was any hope left on the Brown side of the pool, it disappeared with the 100-yard butterfly. The Bulldogs took the top three spots in dominating form. Clifford led the whole way for the Bulldogs, but the next three places were neck-to-neck the entire race. Hyde managed to claim second in a time of 56.67. Right behind her was McKinlay with a time of 57.03 just .07 seconds ahead of the fourth place brown swimmer. After that event, the Bulldogs led by a score of 145-100.
"This was a really big event for us," said Kim. "Andrea had a really great race. This just goes to show how much the rest is starting to help people. That was the fastest she has swum all season. It is nice to see our particular group of juniors really starting to perform well."
The last two events of the day were the 200-yard IM and 400-yard freestyle relay. Yale took home first place in both events. Kim took her third individual victory of the day in the 200-yard IM, finishing in a time of 2:08.33. The field stayed with Kim through the butterfly and backstroke legs of the race, but once Kim made the turn into the breaststroke, she took off, winning the event by open water. Davis and Darwin also compete for Yale coming in fourth and fifth, respectively.
The 400-yard freestyle relay saw another Yale victory by open water. The team of Clifford, Kao, Mann and Hyde dominated the event, winning by just under three seconds. Clifford started the race off for Yale with the fastest 100-yard split of any swimmer in the event, 51.92. Brown came back slightly in the second leg, but Mann and Hyde closed the deal with the team finishing in a time of 3:30.30 and a new pool record. The previous record of 3:30.58 had stood since 1999.
The Bulldogs will take a week and half off now as they prepare for the Ivy League Championships.
"This is really the best week of swimming practice all year," said Kim. "We get to take it a little easier and relax our muscles. It is a chance to work on the little things like starts and turns. But it is also a time to get mentally tough. Ivies are going to be a challenge and we need everyone ready to swim really fast."
The Ivy League Championships will take place on Long Island, N.Y. from Feb. 26-Feb. 28.

Three points. That's the gap between the Winnipeg Jets and a spot in the NHL lottery entering action on Friday. It isn't a big gap.
There are going to be some funny things that happen with the draft order this summer. As it stands, there are seven teams in the span between 21st and 27th overall separated by just four points. That means seven teams having similarly disappointing seasons are all almost indistinguishable from each other. One of them will likely end up with the fourth overall pick. Another will likely end up at 10th overall.
How the Jets play the rest of the way is going to have a major impact on where they finish. They play Carolina this evening, a team one point behind them. They play Tampa Bay tomorrow, a team in the same position. They'll play the Islanders (yet another team in the same spot today) and then the Lightning again before closing out the season. The only game in their final five that won't see them going head-to-head with an opponent in a similar position is their April 3rd contest against Florida.
I very much doubt that Claude Noel and the organization plans to lose. However much the difference in that draft pick might matter to the team, both the coach and the players will only look bad if they relent at this point. History doesn't care for the nuance of Noel's situation – if he doesn't coach to the best of his ability every game, it could very well come back to haunt him.
Still, the gap between 4th and 10th overall can be a huge one in terms of talent. Sometimes it isn't a big one. Sometimes a team does something crazy, like draft Thomas Hickey. But other times, there's a huge difference – the difference between Backstrom and Frolik, Kane and Paajarvi, Pitkanen and Nystrom.
If, then, things go sideways the rest of the way – like how they did against the Rangers on Wednesday night, or if the Jets replicate their run of the last few games (they've been outscored 28-to-18 and lost five of six) that doesn't mean players or coaches shouldn't be judged on the outcome. It does mean that a losing streak here probably isn't going to hurt the team in the long haul.
And hey, there's always the example of Chicago. The Edmonton Oilers won their last game of the 2006-07 season, sliding past the Blackhawks in the standings and finishing with the sixth overall pick (Sam Gagner). Chicago rose to fifth, and then something lucky happened: they won the draft lottery. Three summers later, Patrick Kane scored 28 points in 22 playoff games, and Chicago won the Stanley Cup.

The search for heaven on earth is a quest that many travellers undertake.
Until a few weeks ago, however, I didn't realize it was as simple as booking a flight to the Cook Islands in the South Pacific.
While on a catamaran tour of the lagoon at Aitutaki (the second most visited island in the Cooks), we stopped at a tiny sandbar, which many locals call Heaven.
Gentle ripples of water from the turquoise lagoon lapped at the shore. Powder-soft white sand sparkled under the sun. There seemed no doubt about it - this was definitely one place where Mother Nature got it right.
The sense of solitude and serenity here seemed almost mystical; our catamaran captain had taken the boat to a nearby island called One Foot, leaving us alone on the sandbar in the middle of the lagoon.
If heaven were a place on Earth, this could well be it.
It was so peaceful and perfect that I wished everyone could experience a moment like this, here on Heaven - not all at the same time, of course. The sandbar is less than a hectare in size.
I don't know when we would have felt ready to leave this sandy slice of bliss, but it was hunger that eventually drove us toward One Foot. We simply waded 200 or so metres through waist-deep warm water to reach the uninhabited island, where the boat's crew had a barbecue lunch waiting.
Over the years, the remote One Foot Island has become known for being home to one of the world's smallest post offices. When a captain lands on the island, he will open the post office "hut" to sell postcards to his passengers and give them a unique stamp on their passports.
Recently, however, an international spotlight shone on One Foot (traditionally called Tapuaetai), when world leaders - attending the Pacific Islands Forum - visited the island for a break from their meetings.
Each leader planted a tamanu tree, symbolizing the strength of Pacific leaders when they work together and the importance of their sustainability messages.
With media coverage of the tree planting shown around the world, Aitutaki's beauty was on display for all to see.
Its lagoon is considered one of the most picturesque parts of the Cook Islands, which is a significant honour, considering there are untouched, palm-fringed beaches at every turn.
To start our visit to Aitut-aki, we took an inter-island, 50-minute flight from Raro-tonga, the largest and most populous island in the Cook Islands.
Upon arrival, we made our way to the postcard-perfect lagoon and joined a catamaran tour.
The captain manoeuvred the craft through the lagoon, which was dotted with about two dozen islands, islets and sandbars.
We stopped to snorkel in the middle of the lagoon, where we witnessed gentle, giant fish swimming by and huge clams sitting on the ocean floor.
We also stopped at a number of islands, including one that was the home base for the reality TV show Survivor, which shot its 13th season here in 2006.
The island was small, but it was intriguing to check out the area where Survivors such as Ozzy Lusth and Season 13 winner Yul Kwon lived for a few weeks.
The exposure from the show was immense. Thanks to prime-time airing and subsequent syndication, more than 200 million viewers were exposed to the Cook Islands - a number that greatly exceeds the total visitors the country has attracted in its history.
Economic benefits were also noteworthy, say Cook Islands tourism officials.
Local landowners received about $100,000 as payment for use of their property.
Restaurants and hotels on Aitutaki were packed to the rafters.
The local hospital, rugby club and schools received dozens of gifts from the show's crew.
While day tours for visitors were cancelled to accommodate shooting, tour operators were compensated for lost revenue and were among the 200 or so locals hired to work on the production, garnering almost $500,000 in wages.
Our catamaran captain, for example, took Survivor contestants on a reward trip after they completed a challenge for the show; he was also paid to ferry crew members back and forth to various islands where taping occurred.
"There was a total economic spinoff of $8 million," Captain Leo Daniel said.
"It had a big impact on tourism ... lots of locals made money because of Survivor."
A reality series from Britain, called Shipwrecked, has also shot here a number of times, as has the TV show Survivorman.
It's no surprise that this idyllic area has repeatedly been chosen to represent a stranded-on-a-deserted-island theme on TV. Aitutaki's scenery is so spectacular that the founder of the Lonely Planet travel guides nominated it as the world's most beautiful island in 2010.
"This is the kind of place that makes you stop and think, 'Wow,'" says Jason Webb, owner of Downunder Travel Ltd. "It's magical, it's untouched and it's unspoiled."
Accommodation on Aitutaki ranges from quaint to luxurious. The beach bungalows at Tamanu Beach Resort offer privacy and seclusion, while the suites, bungalows and villas at the Pacific Resort Aitutaki provide five-star options.
Relaxing over breakfast at the Pacific Resort, and watching whales swim by the lagoon, makes for truly memorable moments.
Another dining spot worth checking out is Tupuna's Restaurant, which has become known for a famous seared tuna fillet stuffed with shrimp. Owner Tupuna Hewitt - who has been featured in magazine articles and TV food shows - enjoys meeting visitors as much as she enjoys cooking.
"Cook Islanders like Tupuna love to tell their stories," notes Webb.
"To listen to these stories adds to the value of a vacation here. ... It makes you feel like you belong."

01.06.13: The No.11 ranked CCRI Lady Knights basketball team traveled to St. Francis College in Brooklyn, NY to play the 10-3 Division I Avengers of ASA College. The Lady Knights had their seven-game win streak snapped by the Division I Avengers. With the defeat, the Lady Knights fall to 14-2 on the season, the best start since 2005.
This was not the Lady Knights' day. The Avenger's size and defensive pressure was just too much for the Lady Knights to overcome. ASA held the Lady Knights to their second lowest point total of the season. CCRI went into the half with an 11 point deficit trailing 35-24. Though CCRI was outsized they got a spark from their smallest player in stature Treedy Ward (Boynton, Beach, FL) who scored 10 first half points on 3-4 shooting form beyond the 3-point arc. The Lady Knights were able to cut the lead to as few as six points in the second half, but that is as close as they would get. They ultimately fell by the final tally of 71-55.
The Lady Knights were led by Lexi Barros (New Bedford, MA) with 15 points, five rebounds and four steals. Florida native Treedy Ward scored 13 points on 4-6 shooting from beyond the 3-point arc with two assists. Nyjah Porcher (New Britain, CT) contributed 13 points and eight rebounds while Co-Captain Jahira Smith (Brooklyn, NY) added 11 points and four rebounds.
Head Coach Kate Lynch commented after the loss: "We didn't come ready to play today. We needed to rebound the basketball, get back in transition, and defend the drive. We didn't do any of those well. You can't expect to win a game against a team like ASA by not executing those things."
The Lady Knights are back in action next weekend when they will host the 2013 CCRI Basketball Invitational. On Saturday they will play Genesee Community College at 5:00pm and Sunday the defending national champion Monroe College at 4:00pm.
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

If meditation sounds intriguing, you can try it out -- in as few as 10 minutes a day -- without leaving your office.
"I'd say there's quite a range [of styles]," says Mark Coleman, a longtime teacher. "Sitting. Stillness. Movement. Yoga, tai chi, chi gong. Ones that cultivate the heart, mind and awareness and clarity. Concentration meditations -- mantras. Various New Age meditations that focus on energy. Once you choose, you have to give it some period of time to evaluate."
There are many free or low-cost downloads available and classes at meditation centers, universities and such sites as Kaiser Permanente, which offers meditation programs for members and employees.
Rachel Donaldson, senior behavioral health educator at Kaiser, says all sorts of people are attracted to the class, including those who get headaches, feel anxious or have insomnia. "We try to make it comfortable for people," she says, by explaining it's not a religion, telling people they don't need to sit cross-legged and enabling them to "stick their toe in the water" with an easy entry such as mindful eating.

Ray K needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 222 designs submitted by 53 freelance designers.
Flux 19
My name's Ray; I've been an IT professional since 1997 and am finally ready to become my own boss. I love the always-changing aspect of technology, but most of all I enjoy working with people to find good solutions. It's my mission to help people and businesses get better at using technology.
Flux 19 is my IT consulting firm offering service in the Los Angeles area, managing all things IT for small to medium sized businesses. I focus on the human aspects of IT and strategic thinking, not obsessing about the technology itself and using stop-gap solutions. I'm a very down to earth guy, love working with people and have a really flexible sense of humor (I have to considering how dirty some of my clients' jokes get haha). Okay enough about me, sheesh.
My target is the small to medium sized business owner. There isn't any particular industry I favor so it's a pretty wide spread, but the one thing most of these people have in common is a complete lack of time. They're busy and just want their stuff taken care of and done right. They won't be wowed by big mission statements or lots of tech-speak. They all have a no-nonsense attitude.
Oh yeah, sometimes they need design work done too. I can't even draw a stick figure right, so if you design a great logo for me, I may be able to refer some work to you in the future. Of course I can't promise anything but it would be great to have someone I could send some work to if it came up (light web design, Wordpress skins, Facebook page design, etc.).
I want a typeface-only logo that exudes the following characteristics:
* Professional
* Down to earth, approachable
* Experienced
* Technical expertise, but not a cheesy futuristic look that will be ironically outdated in 2 years
* Typeface only
* I prefer a clean, flat design (don't want 3D or glossy/reflective).
* I tend to like medium blue but am open to different colors (maybe a shot of bright color wouldn't be a bad thing); certainly I want the words Flux and 19 to be different colors
* Avoid common fonts if possible
* My gut feeling is to go with first letter capitalized and the rest lower case i.e. Flux 19, but feel free to experiment with all lower case too (I find all-caps to be too serious for my taste)
* Supply me with originals so I can use it in print (business cards, letterhead, etc.) and web
* I'll also need a favicon that says F19 (you can do this afterwards if you win)
I will supply as much feedback as possible and as quickly as possible. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves has been reinvented, reimagined, and retold countless times over the last two centuries, but this year brings us not one but two feature films based on the classic story by the Brothers Grimm. The first of those films arrives in theaters this weekend, with director Tarsem Singh's Mirror Mirror offering a lighthearted, family-friendly spin on the well-known story of an evil queen, a charming prince, and of course, a beautiful princess and seven dwarves.
Known for a unique visual flair that made him one of the most sought-after directors for music videos and commercials before catching the eye of move audiences with his debut film The Cell, Singh is venturing into unfamiliar territory with Mirror Mirror, his first PG-rated, family-friendly feature. The film stars veteran actress Julia Roberts as The Queen, Lily Collins (Priest) as Snow White, and Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as Prince Alcott.
Like all of Singh's films, Mirror Mirror makes it clear right from the start that the audience is in for one of the director's signature visual experiences, introducing the key characters through an animated sequence that manages to be both captivating and a little disconcerting, thanks to the animator's use of human eyes set within the animated characters. It's a storytelling decision that feels entirely appropriate for a fairy tale told through the lens of Singh's camera, and establishes a nice balance of wonder and dread.
Still, there's quite a bit of Mirror Mirror that breaks from the grim, moody projects its director is known for.
Tonally, Mirror Mirror is the photo-negative of films like The Cell and Immortals. Where his earlier films were dark, serious, and filled with death, Mirror Mirror is bright, fun, and celebrates life. This cinematic U-turn extends to the film's characters too, with Mirror Mirror offering up vibrant performances played for laughs instead of the painfully earnest, tortured souls that populated Singh's previous films.
While it's no surprise that Roberts gleefully owns every scene she appears in and seems to genuinely enjoy her role as the film's comically evil Queen, the seven actors playing the dwarves are the film's real treat. Rather than opting for an endless parade of tired jokes about their height, Mirror Mirror gives the audience a group of dwarves whose comedic moments come from witty dialogue and the actors' great sense of timing. This results in laughs that are not only intentional, but sincere — and a desire to see more of the dwarves than you get in the film.
However, where Roberts and the dwarves thrive in Mirror Mirror, Collins and (to a lesser degree) Hammer never quite find their footing in the playful world Singh has created around them. Hammer has his moments as the charming Prince Alcott, but he shares far too many scenes with Roberts, who's clearly the focal point of Singh's attention, and therefore the audience's attention, too. Sadly, Collins feels more like a placeholder as Snow White, and does little to make the character her own. Whether it's Collins' performance, a lack of character development in the script, or Singh's decision to focus on The Queen's side of the story, it's difficult to find reasons to care about Snow White in this version of the tale.
Mirror Mirror isn't a complete break from Singh's comfort zone, though, as it offers a nice feast for the eyes and some impressive technical achievements. More often than not, the director's knack for visual flair supplements the story instead of covering up its flaws, though the movie is peppered with reminders that it is indeed a Tarsem Singh film.
One of the most memorable elements is the decision to have the dwarves fight on stilt-like contraptions that initially make them appear to be giants. The fight scenes featuring the dwarves are wild sequences filled with acrobatic leaps and flips by the stuntmen on stilts, and creative use of the stilts as weapons. The fact that the stilts also allow their users to bounce around like they're on pogo sticks only adds to the fun of the scenes they feature in.
Singh's eye for color and costuming also features prominently in Mirror Mirror, and he manages to pack every scene set in the castle with eye-catching colors and amazing feats of wardrobe engineering. For instance, during a banquet the Queen holds in Prince Alcott's honor, each attendee is dressed in formal wear that evokes a different animal, often corresponding with the Queen's opinion of that character. While her chief servant (played by Nathan Lane) adopts the guise of a cockroach with a brown suit and antenna-sporting cap, Hammer's character reluctantly dons a rabbit-themed tuxedo while attempting to avoid the Queen's attentions.
For a director more accustomed to fantastic stories made for adults, Singh seems to have had little trouble adapting his process for a family-friendly film. Mirror Mirror is a surprisingly good, fun film that makes great use of Singh's talents and frankly, offers a much more enjoyable experience than the trailers for the film suggest. While it has its share of flaws — including Collins and Hammer's characters, and the occasional shaky storytelling device — the film succeeds at what it set out to do: offering a fresh, memorable take on the story of Snow White, and letting a wider audience experience the magic of Singh's one-of-a-kind visual talents.
