NEW HAVEN – The Yale men's fencing team will begin
its 2009-2010 season this weekend with the Penn State Open, in
State College, Pa. The tournament will be the team's first
competitive meet of the season, and will serve as a tune-up for
what the Bulldogs hope will be an exciting and successful season.
The Elis have four returning seniors, including captain Andrew
Holbrook and team manager Thomas Bell. Joining them will be a
talented class of freshmen fencers who will fill necessary holes,
making the Bulldogs a more complete and well-rounded team—one
that has legitimate aspirations for the Ivy League title this
Last season, the Bulldogs ended their dual-meet season with an overall record of 11-7 and a fourth-place finish in the Ivy League. They finished with a 1-4 Ivy record, behind Penn, Columbia and Princeton, but tied with Harvard and Brown for fourth place. However, within that rather disappointing 1-4 record, were two frustratingly close losses to Princeton (12-15) and Brown (13-14), as well as a spectacular 15-12 win against Harvard that broke a seven-year drought against the Crimson. These results were indicative of a larger trend of progress and improvement that defined the Elis' 2008-2009 fencing season. Further evidence of the Bulldogs' steps forward was their 11-7 dual-meet record, which was an improvement over the previous season's 7-9 finish.
To add to their team achievements, after Ivy League play was over, the Bulldogs took fifth place overall (Men's Three-Weapon) at the Intercollegiate Fencing Association Championship. Most impressively, the foil squad won the Little Iron Man trophy, awarded to the top men's foil team at the IFA Championship. This marked the second year in a row that the Bulldogs took home the Little Iron Man, which is the most prestigious award of the competition, as well as the oldest trophy in collegiate sports. The IFA Championship format requires that for each weapon, fencers are divided into classes A, B and C, usually corresponding to skill level. Thus, each fencer only competes once against each particular university in the tournament, meaning that the competition favors well-rounded teams that can put strong fencers in all nine spots. The Bulldogs' success at the IFA Championship is a testament to their balance as a team.
Aside from their achievements as a team, the Elis also had a number of noteworthy individual accomplishments last season. Most significantly, outgoing captain Michael Pearce '09 was named an All-American after finishing 8th among all epeeists in the country at the NCAA Championships. Pearce was also named to the first team All-Ivy epee squad and he finished third at the IFA epee individual competition. Sophomore foilist Shiv Kachru also distinguished himself at the NCAA Championships, finishing 10th among all foilists and earning an Honorable Mention for the All-America foil team. Also qualifying for the NCAA Championship were senior foilist John Gurrieri and sophomore epeeist Alexander Cohen, who finished 19th and 24th respectively. The team qualified nine fencers to the NCAA Regional Championships—the highest number allowable. Finally, outgoing senior Sebastian Cano-Besquet was named to the All-Ivy saber squad.
Looking ahead to this season, the Bulldogs are optimistic to continue and expand upon the improvements that they made last season. Though they will miss the leadership and fencing ability of Pearce, the Elis believe that they have more than made up for the loss by bolstering other areas of the team.
"The new freshmen are great additions to the team and will make a big difference," said Holbrook. "The team will be looking to Nate [Benzimra], Colin [Mills] and Will [Zhao] to really help lift the level of the saber squad. Nick [Wan] is a great addition to the epee team. We will of course miss Mike, but we are working hard to build from the base we have to create a solid foundation for the upcoming season. These freshmen are key to that goal."
In particular, the Bulldogs will have a much-improved saber squad this season, patching up one area of the team that had the biggest troubles last season. To add to returning sophomore Adam Fields and senior Ola Malm, the saber squad will consist of recruits Benzimra and Mills, as well as freshman walk-on Zhao. With seven returning fencers, the reigning IFA Champion foil squad will have to deal with an embarrassment of riches. The Bulldogs will have senior captain Andrew Holbrook, senior John Gurrieri, junior Nathaniel Botwinick, sophomore Shiv Kachru, sophomore Jonathan Holbrook, sophomore Taylor Gregoire-Wright and sophomore Jose Dario Martinez. Gurrieri and Kachru both qualified for the NCAA Championship last season and Botwinick won his pool at the IFA Championship. Jonathan Holbrook, who is a nationally ranked foilist, switched over to saber last season out of necessity to fill a gap, but will be returning to his bread and butter in foil this year. Finally, the epee squad will have big shoes to fill in Pearce's absence, but should manage to do alright with Bell, NCAA Championship qualifier Cohen, sophomore Bo Qu, sophomore Adrian Godoy and freshman recruit Nicholas Wan.
"Our foil squad is one of the strongest in the country," noted Holbrook. "Jonathan Holbrook is returning to foil after volunteering to switch to saber last season. With numerous top eight national finishes and formerly ranked in the top five in the country before coming to Yale, it's great to have him back on foil, where he belongs. The team is excited to see Jose Dario Martinez returning to action after tearing his ACL last season when he switched weapons to fence saber at IFAs. His recovery is nearly complete and he's coming back stronger than ever. With Nat, Shiv, John--last year's Ironman winners--and myself, as well as sophomore Taylor all returning, we have a seven-deep foil team that is poised again to be central to the team's success no matter who starts."
The Penn State Open will be a two-day event—lasting through both Saturday Nov. 21 and Sunday Nov. 22. Yale will look to improve on last year's performance, where an injury-plagued Bulldogs team had only two top-10 finishers—foilists Kachru (4th) and Botwinick (8th).
After the Penn State Open this weekend, the Bulldogs will have their final meet of the semester on Dec. 5 in the Brandeis Invitational, in Waltham, Mass. This will mark the beginning of the Elis' official dual-meet season. At last year's event, the Bulldogs won all four meets, defeating Boston College (16-11), St. John's (15-12), Brandeis (17-10) and MIT (15-12). The team will look to similarly start the season with a 4-0 record this year.
The Elis will then return from winter break to host Vassar on Jan. 18, in their seventh-floor fencing facilities in the Payne Whitney Gymnasium. Last season Yale soundly defeated Vassar by a score of 21-6. The team is excited to be hosting this first of two meets on its home turf.
The Bulldogs will then head to the NYU Invitational tournament on Jan. 23 before returning home to host Sacred Heard and Drew on Jan. 30. Last year, the Bulldogs had mixed results against some of the best teams in the country (including Ohio State and Notre Dame) at the NYU Invitational. However, they did defeat both Sacred Heart and Drew, each by a final score of 15-12.
The home meet will close out the Elis' dual-meet season before the Junior Olympics in the middle of February. Ivy League competition will commence with the Ivy North competition on Feb. 21, hosted by Cornell. The following weekend, the Bulldogs will finish up Ivy play with the Ivy South competition, hosted by Penn. The team is excited to improve on last season's 1-4 Ivy record, and compete for the Ivy League Championship.
After the Ivy League champion is determined, Yale would normally participate in the IFA Championship. In fact, the Bulldogs were supposed to host the competition this year. The team was excited at the prospect of defending its Little Iron Man trophy before a home crowd. However, the IFA Competition has been cancelled this year because many schools dropped out due to budget constraints.
Should any fencers qualify, the Bulldogs will continue their season individually with the NCAA Regional Championship and the NCAA Championship, both held in March. Last season, the Yale men's fencing team finished in 11th place nationally, based on the sum total of points earned individually by its four qualifying fencers at the NCAA Championship. When these points were added to those earned by the Yale women at the NCAA Championship, the result was good enough to make Yale 10th in the nation overall.
Looking forward to the entire season, captain Andrew Holbrook is optimistic and determined.
"The team has been working the hardest I have seen in my four years here to prepare for the upcoming season," he noted. "I am looking forward to continuing working with manager Tom Bell to help make sure we are in the best fencing, mental and physical shape possible. The depth of experience and knowledge on this team is phenomenal and everyone has been and will be making critical contributions towards ensuring this is the best season it can be. Although we feel it is a significant challenge, this team has one goal: winning the Ivy League."
Head Coach Henry Harutunian echoes Holbrook's sentiments.
"We have some great kids, with a beautiful leader in Andrew [Holbrook]," he said. "The foil squad is very strong and they have been pushing themselves very hard, and the epee and saber squads are taking their example. We will compete at Penn State this weekend, and whether we win or lose, I know they won't give anything away easy to the other teams, and that's what is most important."

Clarkson University's Clarkson School Welcomes Largest Class in Over 15 Years
The Clarkson School, Clarkson University's early college entrance program, recently welcomed to campus its largest class in more than 15 years.
This year's Clarkson School class has 69 academically gifted high-school-age students who have progressed beyond their high school curricula. TCS provides an opportunity for these students, who come from 10 U.S. states and Vietnam, to continue challenging themselves as a part of a nationally ranked small research institution.
Since 1978, TCS has offered exceptional students from around the country and the world the option to forgo what is typically their high school senior year and begin university coursework at Clarkson. TCS students are fully matriculated first year undergraduates, taking a full course load alongside other Clarkson students.
Enrollment has risen as gifted high school students increasingly examine options like The Clarkson School as their own high schools face budget constraints, according to Director of Admissions Matthew Rutherford.
"The Clarkson School provides an opportunity for these students to continue challenging themselves academically, while in many instances completing their high school diploma requirements," Rutherford said. "Whether the intent is to remain at Clarkson as a sophomore or to move onto another university, our primarily objective is to assist these students so they are in the best position to continue pursuing their academic goals."
Siri Wilder, TCS '14, of Los Angeles, Calif., had multiple reasons for choosing TCS.
"It has great academics, a small, tight-knit community, and the area is beautiful," she said. "I was always striving to pursue my academic interests in high school and coming to The Clarkson School gave me a chance to be among other students who are really interested and invested in their education."
The students live in their own residence halls and are immersed in a supportive environment with specialized programs and activities designed to bridge the transition between high school and college.
They have access to all of Clarkson's resources and amenities with separate residential facilities, activities specifically designed for them and a faculty and staff dedicated to meeting their unique individual and collective needs. Many students opt to remain at Clarkson after their TCS year to complete their degree, while a number of them go on to attend other tier-one national universities.
Sufia Bakshi of Canton, N.Y., TCS '14, said she felt the program was the right fit for her.
"I felt educationally prepared and mature enough to begin college. I was running out of courses to take at my high school and I wanted to avoid a lazy senior year," Bakshi said. "TCS was the perfect alternative -- the program provides an academically and socially enriching environment."
Find out more about the Clarkson School at http://clarkson.edu/tcs .
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

BOONE – No spring practice? No problem.
North Carolina A&T got tremendous help from its special teams, and the defense that was ranked second in Division I-FCS last season didn't look as if it had lost its bite as the Aggies upset No. 21 Appalachian State 24-21 at Kidd Brewer Stadium Saturday night.
It was the Aggies (1-0) first win ever at Kidd Brewer Stadium. It was also the Aggies first win over a ranked opponent since they beat No. 13 Bethune-Cookman 13-7 on Nov. 1, 2003 in Daytona Beach, Fla. The Aggies beat a non-HBCU for the first time since beating Elon 19-17 on Sept. 25, 2004.
"I'm especially proud of our coaching staff," said A&T head coach Rod Broadway. "Their preparation of getting our guys ready to play…especially considering we didn't have spring ball…to come up here and play against a program like App State and win is a miracle to me."
A&T held a 24-6 lead with less than nine minutes to play in the game. But the Mountaineers (0-2) put together an 11-play drive that ended with a 10-yard touchdown reception by Barrett Burns. Despite the score, the Aggies looked poised to put the game away with three minutes to play. They stopped ASU on fourth down and took over the ball at the ASU 14. A&T ran four plays for five yards, deciding to go for it on fourth down instead of kicking a field goal.
ASU responded by using its hurry-up offense to score in 90 seconds as a 9-yard Marcus Cox touchdown pass cut the Aggies lead to three with 24 seconds remaining. The Mountaineers recovered the ensuing onside kick to put an even bigger scare in the Aggie faithful.
"We've got to get better," said Broadway. "We should have had the game a lot earlier. We gave up too many drives there at the end. We've got to get some things corrected, especially clock management right there at the end."
ASU drove the ball to the Aggies 30 before a 46-yard attempt from Drew Stewart with four seconds remaining went wide left, giving the Aggies their first non-conference road win in four years.
"As you walk around this place, they've won three national championships in eight years, they've won seven out of the last eight conference championships. For us and our program to win the game is big and hopefully this will be the start of something good. But the bottom line is, it's still just one game."
The day didn't start out too well for the Aggies as the Mountaineers took their first possession and drove the ball 80 yards in 11 plays as Cox scored on a 35-yard touchdown pass from Jamal Londry-Jackson. The Mountaineers attempted a two-point conversion but it was intercepted by Ayodeji Olatoye.
The Aggies got the lift that they needed as sophomore Tony McRae returned the ensuing kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown.
"It's football," said Broadway. "Big plays win ball games. We made a play."
McRae's return was not the final time A&T's special teams played a significant role Saturday night. Freshman punter Dominic Frescura pinned the Mountaineers inside their own 20-yard line five times on Saturday. One of those instances came toward the end of the first quarter when his punt placed ASU at its own 5.
The Aggies defense held ASU to a three-and-out, setting the Aggies up at the ASU 47. Eight plays later, Aggies quarterback Kwashaun Quick found Desmond Lawrence in the back of the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown pass. The Aggies took a 21-6 lead into the half thanks to a 57-yard interception return by D'Vonte Grant. It was his third career INT return for a touchdown, tying Curtis Deloatch's school record.
"Well, considering a came in here as a walk-on, any records a tie or break are a blessing," said Grant. Lawrence had five receptions for 43 yards in his Aggies debut. Aggies running back Dominique Drake finished with 84 yards on 25 carries and defensively Travis Crosby led the Aggies with 12 tackles.
The Aggies face another Southern Conference opponent next week as they host Elon at Aggie Stadium, 6 p.m., Saturday.

Summer 2001 Internships for Teachers, Dec. 5, 2000
SOCORRO, N.M., December 5, 2000 -- For the second year in a row, New Mexico Tech will enhance its curriculum offerings to state educators this coming summer with the Math and Science Educator Research Program. The program allows New Mexico teachers paid hands-on summer research experiences at several of the university's research centers.
The ten teachers selected to participate in the eight-week-long research and education project -- offered through New Mexico Tech's Master of Science Teaching (MST) Program -- will be paired up with university researchers to develop new research projects or take part in existing scientific investigations.
Vannetta R. Perry, New Mexico Tech's coordinator for Education Outreach Programs, says the research internship program also requires participants to submit written and oral reports at the end of the summer session.
"These reports are meant to help the teacher share the excitement of doing real science in world class facilities with their students and colleagues," Perry says.
By completing the Math and Science Educator Research Internship Program, participants will earn six graduate credit hours in Tech's MST degree-granting program. Teachers also receive a small stipend for their work.
New Mexico Tech faculty members who serve as mentors during the summer research internship will later conduct follow-up visits to each intern's school. The Tech professors also will provide further information and report new advancements in the teacher's research. This will supplement the presentations the teachers will have already made to their students, colleagues, and administrators.
Teacher-participants will also arrange field trips for their students to visit the research sites for more investigation. These field trips are partially underwritten by the program. To further explore the concepts of the teacher's research, research projects for students will be developed, to be supervised via the Internet by the professor who served as the teacher's mentor at New Mexico Tech.
"The research and teaching experience gained by teacher-participants will be invaluable, and disseminating that knowledge throughout New Mexico will enrich the teaching and learning of our state's K-12 students," Perry says.
Applicants who are chosen to participate in this summer's research internship program will be eligible for available scholarship funding (including six hours of graduate tuition) and travel expenses for the mentor's school visits and student field trips to New Mexico Tech research sites. A small amount of funding will also be available to help develop and implement student research projects after the program's completion.
The Math and Science Educator Research Program will run from June 12 - August 4, 2001. Completed applications must be postmarked no later than May 15 for consideration. Teachers interested in applying, or those who wish to receive more information about other MST courses being offered this summer, are asked to contact Vannetta Perry at the New Mexico Tech Office for Educational Outreach at (505) 835-5678, or by e-mail at email@example.com.

Viewers of televised news programs late Monday evening were treated to countdowns befitting New Year's Eve. The clocks hit zero at midnight, as Congress could not fashion even a temporary bill to finance the federal government, and a partial shutdown went into effect. No celebrations took place, but the finger-pointing began in earnest.
The vast majority of Americans awoke Tuesday morning and could perceive no difference. Shutting down the government actually is a slow process, with all sorts of exceptions for essential personnel and programs.
Of course, there was nothing slow about the process in the eyes of 800,000-plus federal workers who already have begun unpaid furloughs or are working with their pay suspended.
Thousands of employees at Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth are staying home until a new spending bill is approved. Seven hundred full-time military personnel working at the Kansas adjutant general's department will be idled. Weekend drills for the Kansas National Guard could be called off. FAA engineers working in Wichita's critical aviation sector punched out, as did many at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Kansas.
National parks and historic sites have closed, including the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene and the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site in Topeka. NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency are virtually staffless, as is the IRS -- although anybody whose filing deadline was extended to Oct. 15 will have no reprieve. Homebuyers seeking government-backed loans will have to wait.
Still, critical functions such as the military, Post Office and Social Security offices are still open for business. Almost perversely ironic is the health insurances exchanges opened at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, right on schedule. Even though the Affordable Care Act was passed more than three years ago, there remain enough lawmakers still fighting its implementation. And they thought shutting the government down was a great way to make their point.
"People are going to realize they can live with a lot less government," said Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.
She's probably correct, but any downsizing should be accomplished through deliberation -- not knee-jerk reactions and crisis management. Unfortunately, the latter is precisely what our nation's top elected officials appear to be resigned. Members of Congress can afford it; their salaries, health benefits and other perks of the job are not threatened.
It's just the little people, who these leaders supposedly represent, who will suffer from what Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., calls "conduct unbefitting a responsible Congress." The same little people already feeling the effects of the sequestration cuts created by the meltdown in Washington.
Capitol Hill has been hijacked by the tea party. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, is reluctant to stand in the way of the extremely vocal minority faction. He's seen too many colleagues unable to withstand primary battles from the far right in the last two elections. And he apparently wants to keep his job, regardless of what happens to the American people.
There are a number of Republicans who, like all of the Democrats, realize Obamacare is here and won't be stopped. Shutting down the government won't stop millions of uninsured Americans from finally getting coverage. Threatening the nation's first default by not raising the debt ceiling in a couple of weeks won't affect the ACA; its funding is not subject to the whims of Congress.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., understands it. "We can't win," he said.
Rep. Scott Rigell, R-Vir., understands it. "We fought the good fight. Time for a clean CR," he tweeted.
Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., understands it. He called the shutdown "a big mistake."
Our own Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., doesn't understand it. One of the first to sign up for the Senate Tea Party Caucus, Moran is still blaming Democrats and President Barack Obama.
"I am anxious for this impasse to come to an end, and I will continue to do everything I can to make certain Kansans' voices are heard in Washington," Moran said.
Our Kansas voice demands an end to the ridiculous impasse. The tea party-imposed shutdown is an empty bluff.

Sunseeker will be displaying an exciting range of motor yachts at the 50th anniversary of Boot Düsseldorf from the 19th – 27th of January. Visitors to Europe's leading boat show will have the opportunity to view eight of its exquisite models, including the stunning new 74 Sport Yacht, which will be joining the dynamic Predator models, through to its luxurious Manhattan and Yachts range.
The full line-up includes:
74 Sport Yacht
Sporty and sleek, the brand new Sunseeker 74 Sport Yacht, with 38 knot capability, boasts the latest Sunseeker design cues and sporting prowess as the recently launched Predator 74. However, while maintaining her dynamic look, the in-house design team at Sunseeker has created the 74 Sport Yacht with an exceptional flybridge – almost unperceivable within her profile lines.
Designed to offer the ultimate experience, the yacht's exterior enjoys oversized pillarless' windows down to the side deck and a helm sunroof which flood the interior with light and provide exceptional views from the saloon in all directions. She enjoys a truly versatile layout throughout and the spacious flybridge makes her a true class-leader, not only offering an additional helm station, but a perfect entertaining space with plentiful seating, dining and sunbathing options and a convenient drawer fridge as standard, along with optional bimini and wet bar upgrades.
Depending on the owner's wishes, the 74 Sport Yacht can be transformed into an 'open' yacht in warmer regions or a 'closed' yacht in cooler climates with an innovative cockpit door mechanism which lowers itself into the sole of the yacht to create an uninterrupted level floor from the helm to the rear of the cockpit.
Stepping on board, owners enjoy stylish interiors and luxurious living with a considerable saloon including a sumptuous lounge and dining area, plus an optional storage unit port side. Below deck there is a generous galley and three spacious en-suite cabins, comprising an aft master stateroom, starboard twin and forward VIP. The master cabin benefits from an optional walk-in wardrobe.
The below deck configuration offers complete flexibility for owners with an option to replace the lower dinette with a walk-in wardrobe for the forward VIP or an additional twin guest cabin which would allow the yacht to accommodate up to eight guests in a four cabin arrangement plus a dedicated twin crew cabin.
The vast foredeck with its superb sunpad for soaking up the rays and spacious lounge seating with optional canopy and drawer fridges, caps off what promises to be another incredible success for Britain's biggest boat builder.
Alongside this model, Sunseeker will be showcasing:
Predator 50
Predator 74
Predator 57 (MkII)
Manhattan 52
Manhattan 66
76 Yacht
86 Yacht
Sunseeker will also be displaying a selection of its exclusive merchandise range, named the 'Sunseeker Collection' at Boot Düsseldorf.

 The 32-metre yacht was christened Sea Coral II and delivered to charter broker OceanDrive. The yacht will be available for charter cruises around Amalfi, Sardinia, Corsica and the South of France starting from this summer. Based on the same platform as the Arcadia 100+, both exteriors and interiors of Arcadia 105 were developed in collaboration with Italian design studio Hot Lab. Sea Coral II comes as the second hull in the series, after the 2018 RJ.The 199-GT semi-planing superyacht has been constructed with a fibreglass hull onto a beam of 7.76 metres.The model is trademarked with glass walls between the aft-deck and main salon and openable floor-to-ceiling windows creating a fluid indoor-outdoor space.Thanks to the convertible 35-square-metre skylounge, a fully enclosed third deck can be protected against bad weather or open to enjoy the breeze and the scents of the sea.Accommodation on-board is provided for up to 10 guests within two doubles, two twins and one convertible cabin, along with the staff capacity for six. The yacht is equipped with games room, dining room and a private lounge.Toy storage of Sea Coral II comprises a Castoldi tender stored aft, two paddleboards, two Seabobs, a Kayak, wakeboard and water skis. Powered by two MAN V8 1200HP engines, the yacht cruises at 12-14 knots under reportedly low fuel consumption.As to other projects by the yard, with ten units now under construction, it has recently revealed the first Sherpa XL, that is approaching her completion.

The 54.3-metre Amels superyacht 4You, previously owned by co-founder of Russian real-estate development company PIK Group, Kirill Pisarev, has been sold with both the buyer and the seller represented by Edmiston.The second hull in Dutch shipyard Amels' successful Limited Editions 180 line, 4You was commissioned by her previous owner and launched in 2012. She has undergone several refit and maintenance works in 2016, 2017, with the latest one held in April 2019.The yacht features exterior design by UK-based Tim Heywood and interiors by Italian studio Laura Sessa. She is trademarked with a large sundeck and six staterooms for accommodation of up to 12 guests. Similarly to her sisterships Astra and Apollo, 4You features a timeless light grey hull and white superstructure.Propelled by MTU 12V 2000 M70 engines, 4You can reach a top speed of 15.5 knots and cruises at 13 knots. At the time of sale, 4You was asking €29,500,000.In 2016, the yacht's previous owner Kirill Pisarev (net worth estimated at $6.1 billion, Forbes) won a law suit against Moran Yacht & Ship over a claim on commission over his previous yacht, also named 4You. The 47-metre 2009 Hessen could accommodate 10 guests in 5 cabins and was said to be too small for the owner's family. Mr Pisarev therefore decided to sell the yacht and to commission a 55m yacht from Amels. Following the sale, Mr Pisarev ended up in court after the brokerage agency who managed and crewed the yacht, Moran Yacht and Ship, argued they were owed a £615,000 commission on the deal, 4% of the sale price. Their claim was dismissed by the High Court in 2014, and on February 11th 2016 Lord Justice Christopher Clarke dismissed the motion once again, reaffirming Mr Pisarev's victory in this legal dispute.

- Define what you would regard as equitable terms for your termination of employment, and be ready to negotiate effectively. Improve your negotiating skills in readiness for this.
- Examine and define your personal and career goals, ensuring that these are in line with your value system.
- Establish which career directions or changes might realistically satisfy you in terms of contentment and success.
- Make yourself aware of how your current skills, talents and ambitions are transferable and match the requirements of the employment marketplace.
If you're prepared, you will be less likely to sign redundancy agreements while in a state of shock. You should always examine such documents carefully and negotiate terms to take full advantage of financial entitlements and all possible support services your employer may offer.
This preparation time should involve doing as well as thinking. Raise your profile in at least one professional organization or association in your field of work. Begin networking with colleagues in other organizations or areas of work where you might be interested in progressing. Making contact with others enables you to update your professional skills. It is important to maintain an active routine, to keep physically fit and mentally active.
Goal setting and achievement
One question which helps to establish life and career goals is: "What would you have, or do, or be, or achieve, if you knew you could not fail?" Once an answer has been established, each of these goals should be broken down into sets of objectives which, in turn, are broken down into daily tasks. Daily tasks fall into two categories: Progress and maintenance tasks.
Progress tasks are those which initiate a new activity, make an introduction, or establish a new approach. Examples are joining a gym or enrolling for a course of study.
Maintenance tasks are the regular tasks which make things happen. Maintenance tasks are important because they are the persistent activities that drive progress in every aspect of life. Going to the gym three evenings a week, or studying each evening in readiness for seminars or exams are maintenance tasks.
Taking action
So what should the progress and maintenance tasks be? My research, during more than 25 years as an occupational psychologist, indicates the following six instructions will assist in success:
- Understand fully the value of your skills and experience and what you offer to the market.
- Prepare a statement which accurately describes your skills, competency and experience so that you can present yourself well both on paper and at interview.
- Establish what you want from your new job, or your new career, and disclose this positively to interviewers and to people you meet at your prospective new workplace. Tell them why it is exactly the role you are looking for.
- Be ready to explain that you will make a positive effort to fit into a team in your role, and take a collaborative approach with colleagues.
- Indicate that you intend to make a significant contribution to the organization, that you wish to build your career with them (and if this is not the case, consider why you are making the effort to join).
- Be ready to enhance and develop your skills and experience with training, mentoring and coaching.
Success is a transient state, rather like happiness. Philosopher Bertrand Russell said that: "Success is getting what you want and happiness is wanting what you get." It is my view that both success and happiness can be achieved, but only when you are prepared to choose very carefully and then take positive and persistent action can you meet objectives and achieve goals.

McDonald's Removes 'Pink Slime' From Their Burgers
If you've had a McDonald's hamburger over the last ten years, you've also consumed something that critics have dubbed "pink slime," which consists of spare beef trimmings soaked in ammonium hydroxide to make them edible for humans. Still lovin' it? We didn't think so.
We'll give you a second to digest that before giving you the good news: McDonald's is now removing "pink slime" from all of their beef products.
The move comes after criticism of the concoction from celebrity chef Jamie Oliver (who coined the "pink slime" phrase) and the documentary 'Food Inc.' Burger King and Taco Bell have also reportedly rid their meat products of the slime.
As disgusting as it sounds, the USDA has said that meat from strange parts of a cow treated with ammonium pose no particular health risk, and a recent editorial in Food Safety News argued that the backlash against pink slime is a result of fear-mongering, rather than any kind of sound science.
Still, with a name like pink slime, it never really stood a chance.

Getting enough sleep is essential for your child's growth and health. Studies show that many children don't get enough sleep. This can result in behavioral problems, mood swings and poor school performance. A lack of sleep also can cause problems with memory, concentration and problem solving.
Occasional bouts of sleeplessness or restless nights are normal for kids as their bodies and brains develop, and the tips below can help you ensure your kids are getting enough rest.
Create a soothing and regular routine for sleep: A routine can help your child get ready for bed much easier. Studies show that children who have a bedtime routine wake up fewer times during the night. The bedtime routine should be the same every night, such as reading one book and singing one song, not lasting more than 15 to 20 minutes.
Maintain a consistent bedtime and wake time: Keeping the wake time and bedtime the same, even on weekends and vacations, is important to help maintain circadian rhythm.
Be conscious of light and darkness: Both are very influential in sleep-wake cycles. Bright light in the morning is influential in setting the circadian rhythm and helping children wake easier. Opening the curtains in the morning to let in the sunlight is the most powerful source of light; artificial light can be helpful as well. Dim the lights in the evening prior to the bedtime routine to cue your child's internal clock that it's time for sleep.
Keep electronics out of the bedroom: The light from televisions, computer screens, video games and mobile devices like cellphones can prevent your child from sleeping. It's best to turn off all electronics at least one hour before bedtime, and in their place, do a calming activity such as reading or coloring.
Naps are important: Younger children need regular and predictable naps during the day. When your child is napping only once a day, don't let him or her nap late into the afternoon, as this will interfere with the child's ability to fall asleep at the regular bedtime.
Teach your child how to self-soothe: At an early age, put your child into his or her crib or bed when he or she is drowsy but still awake. Teaching kids to fall asleep on their own at the beginning of the night without your presence is an important skill for them to learn. Children naturally wake two to six times a night, and if they do not know how to self-soothe, they will cry to alert you that they are awake. Not only does that disrupt their sleep, but yours as well.
No caffeine allowed: Caffeine is not recommended for kids, but if you allow your child any, make sure it is before 3 p.m., as it can delay the onset of sleep at bedtime.
Consistency is key to success: Be patient and persistent, as the investment is well worth it when your child is sleeping better.
Make sleep a priority for your child and family: Teach your child about the importance of sleep by being a good role model in your own sleep habits.
Karen Hoyer, RN, PNP, is a nurse in the Children's Sleep Center at Children's Minnesota. Her interest in pediatric sleep medicine stems from her passion to assist children in improving their sleep. She views sleep as a necessary function so that children can be alert, focus in school, reach their learning potential and have energy to play and be kids.
The Children's Sleep Center is one of the only pediatric-centered programs in the region and one of only a handful that is nationally accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

Development of the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health is a result of ATSU's mission as a graduate health professions school to evaluate regional and national needs for health professionals. Access to dental care among children, seniors, and underserved communities is gravely insufficient in the United States and especially the Southwest.
According to Arizona Oral Health Update, released in May 2000 by the state's Department of Health Services, 31 percent of Arizona children have never had a dental checkup, nor have 21 percent of Arizona adults. In addition, according to the Arizona State Dental Hygienist's Association, 400,000 of Arizona's children have serious tooth decay. Only half of these youngsters are receiving treatment. In Arizona, we have older dentists, in addition to one of the fastest growing populations in the United States. For every 4,000 dentists who graduate each year, 6,000 retire.

10 facts about Chuck Hagel
The potential front-runner for Defense secretary in President Barack Obama's second term is a familiar Washington face, but has stayed largely out of the public spotlight since retiring from the Senate in 2009.
( PHOTOS: Chuck Hagel's career)
Story Continued Below
Here's POLITICO's list of top 10 facts about Nebraska Republican Chuck Hagel:
1. He's a Vietnam War veteran. Hagel served in the Army with his brother, Tom, in 1968. They were both infantry squad leaders with the Army's 9th Infantry Division. Hagel received two Purple Hearts for his service.
2. He was harshly critical of President George W. Bush's foreign policy. Though a fellow Republican, Hagel began to differ with Bush often during the Iraq War. And although he supported the U.S. invasion, Hagel was among three Republican senators to support Democratic-sponsored legislation in July 2007 to require Iraq troop withdrawal to begin within 120 days.
He also opposed the Iraq troop "surge," calling the political interests involved "a Ping-Pong game with American lives."
At a Senate Foreign Affairs Committee hearing with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Hagel called the surge "the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam, if it's carried out," to applause from attendees.
3. He was bandied about as a possible Defense secretary during Obama's first term. Obama quickly said that he was interested in including Republicans in his Cabinet, and Hagel emerged as a front-runner at the time.
The Sunday Times in March 2008 quoted Obama as saying, "Chuck Hagel is a great friend of mine, and I respect him very much." Obama eventually elected to keep Bush's last Defense secretary, Robert Gates, in his post through 2011.
Now, the only Republican in Obama's Cabinet is Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, a former congressman from Illinois.
4. He's local. Hagel and his wife, Lilibet, and their son Ziller and daughter Allyn live in McLean, Va. He's a distinguished professor at Georgetown University's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and chairman of the Atlantic Council, a nonpartisan think tank that promotes transatlantic cooperation and international security. And he's as co-chairman of the president's Intelligence Advisory Board and chairman of the Intelligence Oversight Board.
5. He's a cell phone magnate. In 1984, Hagel co-founded Vanguard Cellular, a mobile phone manufacturer that made him a multi-millionaire. Vanguard was bought in 1998 by AT&T Wireless for $900 million in cash and stock and the assumption of $600 million of debt. More than 2,000 people were employed at Vanguard, which was headquartered in Greensboro, N.C., during the company's peak.

Tom Eblen: Kroger on Euclid a chance for Lexington to do urban infill the right way
The design of a new grocery is usually of little interest beyond its neighborhood. But the Kroger reconstruction on Euclid Avenue offers some important lessons for Lexington as the city focuses more on urban infill and redevelopment.
Kroger has had this Chevy Chase grocery for decades, a suburban-style box behind a wrap-around parking lot. As the neighborhoods surrounding it have become more dense, the store has become more crowded.
While new, small markets such as Town Branch and Shorty's have filled an important niche, this Kroger is the only supermarket close to Lexington's increasingly popular intown neighborhoods. Residents there want more shopping options without having to drive to the suburbs.
Kroger plans to spend $19 million building a new store on the site, plus four adjacent quarter-acre lots it acquired. The grocery's size will increase from 38,000 square feet to 65,000, although some of that new space will be basement storage. In addition to a surface lot, there will be ramp and parking on the roof.
A larger store requires a zoning change, which has been approved by the Planning Commission and will go before Council on Aug. 13.
Kroger's initial design was uninspiring — a plain, suburban-style box oriented toward a parking lot rather than the street, as are most buildings in that neighborhood, most of which was developed during the first four decades of the 20th century.
Architect Graham Pohl of the firm Pohl Rosa Pohl offered to donate his services to Kroger to help improve the exterior design to make it more compatible. He also wanted the store to be more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly, since that is the way many of Kroger's customers get there.
"My passion is good design, and I wanted a building that responded to the urban setting and looked like it had been designed, not a building that looked like an afterthought," said Pohl, who has lived and worked in the neighborhood — and shopped at that Kroger — since 1980.
Pohl said Kroger has been very receptive to his ideas for improving the store's design. "I have seen a real effort on their part to do the right thing," he said.
Pohl attributes much of that to city leadership. Mayor Jim Gray has made it clear to Kroger and other developers that infill projects must be well-designed and appropriate to their surroundings.
That is the first important lesson: When city officials and residents make it clear that mediocre design is no longer good enough for Lexington, developers will respond. If a city wants design excellence, it must insist on it.
Pohl, who said he was paid nothing for his work, showed me recent versions of the Kroger design that are dramatically better than the initial ones, in both function and appearance. If Kroger follows through, the store will be better-looking, more compatible with the neighborhood and a more pleasant place to shop.
But some of the store's neighbors still aren't happy, and they are opposing the zoning change. Driving through the neighborhood last Thursday, I saw three yellow yard signs that said, "No to Fort Kroger."
Opponents say the new store is too big for the site and will create traffic congestion. Pohl thinks some of their fears are exaggerated, but he said city officials should continue to work with Kroger to address several issues. Those include outdoor lighting, pedestrian and cyclist safety, the addition of a bus shelter and limits on when delivery trucks can idle at the loading docks.
City officials should work with Kroger on sensible compromises to make this bigger grocery succeed. Still, it is unlikely every neighbor will be satisfied.
We say it all the time in Lexington, to the point that it has become a cliché: we need to grow up, not out, if we want to preserve our unique rural landscape from more suburban sprawl.
That kind of growth means more infill and redevelopment, and that often means increasing population density. People in Lexington have never been comfortable with increasing density, but that must change.
The Euclid Avenue Kroger project is an excellent opportunity for Lexington to learn more about good urban design and increasing density, and to figure out how to do it right.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Danny Yoshikawa, who won 144 games over the last five seasons as head coach at West Valley College in Saratoga, Calif., has been selected as an assistant coach on the men's basketball staff at UC Santa Barbara, head coach Bob Williams announced Thursday. Yoshikawa, who played two seasons for Williams at UC Davis, replaces Mark Amaral who accepted a similar position at Colorado State.
"Yosh is a great basketball coach," Williams said. "He will not only bring a great deal of basketball knowledge to our program but also a great deal of energy. He was a very tough and smart player and those traits have served him well as a coach."
In his five seasons as the head coach at West Valley, Yoshikawa recorded a 144-47 record for a .753 winning percentage. He guided the Vikings to a pair of Golden Gate Conference titles, five California State Community College Tournaments and to two Elite Eight appearances. In 2006, his West Valley team advanced to the state championship game and he was named California State Coach of the Year and Golden Gate Conference Coach of the Year. In 2007, with just four returning players from the squad that advanced to the state championship game, Yoshikawa's team went 24-9 and won its first round game in the state playoffs.
The San Jose, Calif., native began his college basketball career as a player at West Valley where he played two seasons (1992-94) under current Cal State Fullerton head coach Bob Burton. Yoshikawa, a point guard, earned All-Golden Gate Conference honors while helping the Vikings to a two-year record of 53-11. After his two seasons at West Valley, he moved on to UC Davis where he played two years (1994-96) for Williams. In his two years at Davis, the Aggies won a pair of Northern California Athletic Conference titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament each year. As a senior, Yoshikawa was named NCAC Player of the Year, All-NCAC and UC Davis Male Athlete of the Year. In his four seasons as a player, his teams went 100-29.
Yoshikawa began his coaching career in 1998 at West Valley where he spent three years as an assistant to Burton. Following his stint as an assistant he was named head coach at Cañada College where he went 20-10 in one season before returning to West Valley where he replaced Burton. Overall, his six-year community college coaching record was 164-57 (.742).
Yoshikawa graduated from UC Davis in 1997 with BA degrees in international relations and Japanese. He earned his MS degree in kinesiology from San Jose State. Following his graduation from UC Davis, he spent one year traveling the world before beginning his coaching career in 1998.

Benefits of Reading Out Loud and In Home Care for the Elderly
Reading is a pastime enjoyed by many people; when time allows. With hectic schedules and chores that often call us away from a good book, reading can be viewed as a leisure activity. Some may say that reading is a great form of escape and wonderful for relaxation for the reader. While reading while alone is a peaceful activity, it can be especially beneficial to read something aloud.
There are many benefits of reading out loud. One benefit is the ability to hear your own voice while reading. Reading out loud usually involves bodily movements such as hand motions and other gestures that might not otherwise be employed while reading to oneself. If reading to children, it can be an opportunity to brush up on acting skills and pull out special voices for the characters. This can be fun for both the reader and the listeners!
Another great benefit of reading out loud is greater comprehension. There's something to be said about saying a word out loud and listening to how it's pronounced. By reading aloud, we are able to find ways to incorporate newly used words into our existing vocabulary. Hearing a word and using it in a context that might not have otherwise been used helps to build and influence words chosen in future conversations. Reading out loud helps to enhance the mind and teaches the reader to also be a good listener and appreciate the many uses of our language, both written word and verbally.
When reading aloud, there is no other option than to simply focus on the task at hand. Reading out loud helps to sharpen focus. Using your voice to read the words that you see on the page helps to reinforce the mental connection. Therefore, reading out loud is a form of exercise for the mind. Reading out loud also boosts comprehension and helps to internalize the words that are spoken.
These days, it is easy to get caught up with technology and the accessibility of information on smartphones and tablets. The ability to watch a show, pull up a news story, and learn something new at the touch of the screen can be exhilarating. It is also the reason why the newest generation is one of the most distracted. Whenever possible, encourage the turn of real pages and the imagination and fun that goes along with it. Plant the seed for a desire to learn, read, and grow through reading.
If you would like to learn more about caring and consistent in home care for seniors, along with the many benefits of professional live in care for the elderly, or dementia and Alzheimer's care, call Senior Helpers of Fountain Valley to speak to a senior care specialist today 714-593-1177!

Even the best set plans are thwarted by forces unseen...sigh. I had every intention of making baked wontons for two weeks now ... I scheduled it, talked about it, and finally went to the store - road block. I got to the organics section to pick up the wonton wrappers (which they ALWAYS have) and the only packages they had were marked Oct. 31. Of course ... it kind of went with the theme for the week: gas leak at school, hit a car on the way to work, got puked on inside and outside of my shirt by my little one, got lost in the 'hood.. who am I kidding - I work in the 'hood ... the list goes on. This week will not get the best of me .. onto plan B - baked egg rolls! Which, I'm sure, are just as yummy!
The thing that I adore most about homemade Chinese food is that it can be so healthy, flavorful, and include tons of awesome veggies (and you don't have to wonder what exactly is in the dish??!)! I was never much of a veggie fan growing up, but when it came to stir frys and soups - I was game for any vegetable. Still am! The ingredients for the filling can easily be altered and new things can be added. I'd love to try different veggies next time - like some kind of seaweed, or bok choy. I created the sauce - yes, I know it contains some uncommon odds and ends, but the flavors are spot on... not too salty, not too sweet - tons of flavor. If you don't keep Tiger Sauce, Duck Sauce, Sriracha, or sesame oil at home, I highly recommend them. You can use them for so many dishes (not just Asian foods!).
My biggest concern with this recipe was that they might not come out crispy, but no fear - they are perfectly crispy, not at all soggy...just delicious. I had 4 ... in about 2 minutes. Best dishes and yummy dreams!
1 cup chopped fresh broccoli
The recipe makes 8-10 egg rolls. Eat right away - they aren't the greatest to reheat! Keep in mind that the wrapper will not taste like a fried egg roll - but, they are sooo good in their own way!
If you enjoyed this recipe, I'd love for you to follow my blog on GoogleConnect, or "like" my Facebook page! Cheers!
I shared this recipe with the cute blogs on the side bar, as well as:
This awesome new blog I found!

Dishonest data protection notices could earn jail time
Possible, but not likely
People who gather personal data without issuing a valid data protection notice in the course of their business could, at least in theory, face up to 10 years in jail under the UK's new Fraud Act which came into force on Monday.
The Act was passed by the House of Commons in November but only came into force this week. Though legal experts say a 10 year jail sentence seems extremely unlikely for an improperly-worded data protection notice or the absence of one, the law does make such a term possible.
"An unlooked-for consequence is that a data controller which fails to give a proper data protection notice and obtains personal data which he is going to use in business, e.g. to sell on as part of a mailing list, is now risking a prison sentence," said Rosemary Jay, data protection specialist at Pinsent Masons, the law firm behind OUT-LAW.COM.
Section Three of the Act creates the new offence of failing to disclose information. "A person is in breach of this section if he dishonestly fails to disclose to another person information which he is under a legal duty to disclose, and intends, by failing to disclose the information to make a gain for himself or another, or to cause loss to another or to expose another to a risk of loss," the Act says.
Jay believes that the full force of the sanction will probably never be used for data protection failings. "It is unlikely that someone would get sent to prison for a data protection notice and certainly not for 10 years," she said.
A Home Office circular giving guidance on the Act includes an example of a situation where the provision is more likely to be applied: "If a doctor failed to disclose to a hospital that certain patients referred by him for treatment are private patients, thereby avoiding a charge for the services provided."
The Act also outlaws the possession of "phishing" kits. Phishing is the act of sending a fake email to many people pretending to be from a well known company, usually a bank. It sends readers to a fake site which can then gather the person's banking details and defraud them.
Previously it was not an offence to possess the software and tools necessary to launch phishing attacks, but the new law does make that an offence.
It is the first single, general fraud law in English law. Previously a number of different laws created offences related to fraud, but the new Act brings all those offences and some new ones into the same Act.
Another new offence which it creates is the writing of software "knowing that it is designed or adapted for use in...connection with fraud". Those found guilty of that offence could also face a jail sentence of up to 10 years.
Fraud levels are on the rise, according to KPMG's Forensic Fraud Barometer. It reported that 2005 fraud levels were the highest in a decade, at £900m in the UK. It found that the figure for 2006 was likely to be even higher.

Hartsville, S.C. – The Lady Cobras picked up a huge upset in Conference Carolinas women's basketball action on Wednesday night, as Coker defeated the first place Barton Lady Bulldogs, 84-81, behind the stellar offense of the Finish connection of Henna Koponen (Vantaa, Finland) and Lotta Aaltonen (Rauma, Finland) and the clutch defense of Jasmine Alston (Sumter, SC).
The win improves Coker to 7-12 overall, and 6-8 in the conference and it marks the first time in Coach Carol Meegan's tenure at Coker that the Lady Cobras have defeated Barton. With the loss Barton not only falls to 14-4 overall, and 11-3 in the conference, but they also fall from their top spot in the conference standings for the first time all season.
The Lady Cobras used a solid first half five point lead, as well as clutch free throw shooting to over take the Lady Bulldogs. Barton held a narrow edge in almost every major stat category, including out rebounding the Lady Cobras 35 to 33 and hitting 4 of nine from beyond the arc, but Coker out shot the Lady Bulldogs from the floor, shooting 55.8 percent compared to Barton's 44.3 percent and they had 24 points from the line, with Barton only managing 15.
Koponen had a game high 27 points with five rebounds, while Aaltonen had 24 points and five rebounds. Alston had a career high 11 points with five rebounds and three big steals, with Jessica Hayes (Beaufort, SC) dropping in 10 points with eight assists and five rebounds.
For Barton, Esty Flores had 26 points, four assists and five steals, while Jamila Johnson had 20 points and Jannetta Robinson had 12 points and nine rebounds. Sharnita Alston was dominating on the boards with 12 rebounds and six points.
Coker returns to the floor on Saturday, as they host Belmont Abbey at 2:00 p.m., while Barton will travel to Erskine.

Long Lost Nick Rhodes Album To See The Light Of Day
Photo by G.
Back in the 1990s, Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes and at the time Durannie Warren Cuccurullo recorded an album together as a soundtrack to a bizarre TV cyber soap opera about a family who give away their freedom to scientists in exchange for reality TV show fame. The duo called themselves TV Mania and the album was called "Bored With Prozac and the Internet?" The album was scrapped at the time and has recently been unearthed and will see the light of day on March 11, 2013. The lead single "Beautiful Clothes" has been remixed by According2G favorite MNDR and you can hear the mix on Spin.com. You can also sample the whole album on TV Mania's official site as well as order limited edition packages. It's almost eerie how contemporary this album considering the record was conceived nearly 20 years ago. They don't call Nick Rhodes a genius for nothing!
