It’s no secret that all of us here at Brown love acronyms. S/NC, ISPs, GISPs, GlISPs, JWoWW…the list goes on and on.

But what happens when two different organizations use the same acronym? [Read more →]

It’s Providence’s Most Wanted! Local police have put together a list of the 29 most active criminals and felons in the area.

Sort of the anti-LOLcat: animal rights activists, state legislators and Rhode Island’s top veterinarian are at odds on what to do about the feral cat population. State vet Scott Marshall favors euthanizing them; animal rights activist Dennis Tabella fears people’s pet cats will become victims.

According to a study done by National Journal, Rhode Island’s U.S. senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse are among the most liberal delegates in the Senate! They both scored an 88 on the “liberal composite scale,” which is basically an A with a slight curve.

Lunch: V-Dub. Nothing spectacular being offered anywhere. Though the Ratty’s pork cubes? Geometrically shaped meat doesn’t sound too appealing.

Dinner: Ratty. Pearl onions…sounds fancy!

Ever come up with a great idea for a Web site, get as far as one post, then forget about it? That’s what this site is.

Because most blogs are only good for about a week, anyway. We’re looking at you, FML.

Tonight marks the end of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. All eyes were on the Men’s Hockey Final game, which pinned the USA underdogs against the Canadian home team. The whole thing seemed reminiscent of another hockey battle 30 years ago, thought at least this Olympics’ possible “miracle” didn’t have any anti-communist undertones.

Canada quickly took the lead in the game, scoring twice in the first half. USA scored in the second half , bringing the score to 2-1, yet as the clock wound down it seemed like Canada had secured he goal. Alas, it was in the game’s final seconds that the US team evened up the score, bringing the game into a climactic overtime.

The highly anticipated match was, of course, displayed on the Ratty big screens, and you can guess who was checking out the score between card swipes. During overtime, the gold medal was anyones fair game, and Gail offered some encouraging words to Team USA.

As much as I love or northern neighbors, I hope the USA wins the gold medal. Even though our team is young, they’ve done well so far, and I believe they can do it.

Minutes later, the Canadians ended the overtime and took the gold, proving that Canada is better than America—at least as far hockey goes. Despite the defeat, Gail showed true American sportsmanship and had some kind words for Canada.

I guess if we had to lose to someone, I’m glad it was to them. USA still did an excellent job and I hope the show good sportsmanship. The Canadians are very good at hockey and have been a wonderful host country.

So that’s it for Vancouver 2010. The USA hockey team will have to wait another four years to battle for Olympic gold. You only have to wait till dinner to greet Gail!
