...visited last week, out of 835 sites in the category. Visitors over the last two weeks were predominantly males (70%) between the ages of 18 and 34 (54%), more likely to engage in online images searches than pick up the phone to vote for the next American Idol. In contrast, visitors to the official American Idol site (the best proxy for potential voters) are predominantly females, 35-44 years...
Cage-free farms, by contrast, are smaller and spread out to reduce environmental impact. The cage-free farm that HUDS has said it would use, Pete & Gerry’s, is U.S. Department of Agiculture Organic Approved, meaning that it does not use irradiated materials or genetically modified organisms, and only feeds 100 percent organic feed to its hens.

Despite 50 shots on the afternoon—31 of which were on goal—the Crimson managed just four goals from its starting attackman unit of senior Greg Cohen, junior Liam Griff, and sophomore Max Motschwiller. That came in contrast with a Seawolves squad that scored 13 times on just 20 shots on goal. “They had a good goaltender, but I think the main reason we weren’t scoring was that we didn’t get the goalie moving enough,” said...
