Five Conferences That Will Suffer Most From College Football Playoffs
Five Conferences That Will Suffer The Most From College Football Playoffs
Alas! The BCS system is finally coming to an end. After years of complaining from, well, pretty much everyone, college football will finally receive a playoff system starting in the 2014 season.
The BCS will be replaced by a four team playoff the first season, with the option for expansion from there.
Certainly this long-awaited change is needed, and this is a great place to start. Hopefully the playoffs can extend to a larger number of teams in the future.
So everyone is happy now right? Oh, if only it were that easy to make every conference and team in college football content.
While the playoff system benefits a large number of conferences and teams, it certainly hurts several others.
The conferences that were guaranteed BCS bowl births, but may not have performed well enough to reach that bowl, will be affected, as well as any conference with teams unable to climb to the number four spot in the polls.
Any mid-major conference or smaller will have a very tough time getting to the playoffs, if the conferences are anything similar to what we've seen in the past. When teams don't play a strong enough schedule, they lose the ability to climb in the polls.
This is one of the most serious flaws in the BCS, as some schools can play the hardest schedule possible out of conference, and still fail to climb high enough after going undefeated.
The playoff system, until expanded, will likely have the same effect on the schools involved, just not as great, considering seeding is not directly related to ranking.
Assuming the conferences stay relatively similar to what they are now, here are the five that will suffer most from a playoff system.
The ACC
The ACC would be hurt by a playoff system because it constantly has teams ranked in the top 10 or higher, but never high enough to make a national championship. I could see the ACC having teams left out of the playoffs at number five or six and getting sent only to the Orange Bowl with no fair chance to win a championship.
The Big East
The old gray mare just 'aint what she used to be. The Big East at one point was a much stronger football conference than what it is today. With studs like the Virginia Tech Hokies, the Boston College Eagles and the Miami Hurricanes, the old Big East was a very strong conference. Now the best team in the conference is the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and they even have a loss.
The Big East has received a lot of discussion over whether or not it deserves its automatic BCS qualifier. The fact that the schools in the Big East are rewarded, despite fairly low top 25 rankings, means the Big East could be hurt by playoffs. It would actually have to have teams go undefeated in order to make the playoffs, and instead of a coveted BCS bowl win, the teams would be left with nothing, as they are the only current BCS conference that will not receive an auto tie-in to the big bowl games starting in 2014.
The C-USA
Even if the CUSA was to get a team high enough in the polls to receive consideration, it would take a lot for that team to receive enough votes to make it into the playoffs. There are many other conferences that fall into the same boat as the CUSA.
The MAC
A conference like the MAC will have very little chance to make an impact in the playoff system. How many MAC teams have been ranked in the top four in the last few seasons? In order to even be considered for votes the MAC would have to produce at least one team good enough to climb into the top five, and convince enough voters they are worthy of a playoff chance. That just doesn't seem likely.
The WAC
The WAC is a conference that currently has had issues with being left out of the championship game in the BCS system (I'm looking at you Boise). The playoff system will make this even harder for this conference to get a shot at the big game because rankings don't mean anything essentially. A panel will decide which four teams will make the playoffs, and as we all know, the people who vote on the teams tend to give advantage to the power conferences.
Now, all of the conference realignment that has taken place during the buildup to the playoffs has caused the WAC to fold.

Mortgage applications hit four-month highMay 3, 2013 @ 7:40 am
Mortgage applications climbed 2 percent last week as several key interest rates dropped, the Mortgage Bankers Association reported.
Mortgage applications for refinances, which make up the biggest bulk of MBA's index, rose 3 percent for the week ending April 26, reaching its highest level since January. Meanwhile, mortgage applications for home purchases fell last week by 1.4 percent compared to a week earlier.
"Low interest rates have attracted new buyers and persuaded many home owners to refinance their mortgages," Dow Jones reported. "However, tightened credit restrictions still bar many borrowers from filing loan applications."
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 3.6 percent last week, its lowest rate since December, MBA reports.

Major League Baseball trademarks and copyrights are used with permission of MLB.com. All rights reserved.
About the Ticket Supplier: Angels BaseballThe Angels were founded by former actor Gene Autry in 1961 and played their first five seasons in Los Angeles. After the 1965 season the club moved to Anaheim and began playing in their new stadium.
In 1972 the Angels acquired right-handed pitcher Nolan Ryan from the New York Mets. In his eight seasons with the team, Ryan led the league in strikeouts seven times and in shutouts twice; he also threw four of his all-time-record seven no-hitters.
California won its first division title in 1979 under manager Jim Fregosi, a former Angels shortstop. Don Baylor, who led the league in runs batted in (RBIs) and runs scored that year, became the first designated hitter to be named the AL most valuable player (MVP).
Superstar outfielder and designated hitter Reggie Jackson joined the Angels in 1982 and led the league in home runs to power California to its second division championship.
Manager Gene Mauch guided the team to a 93-69 win-loss record before the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Angels in the AL Championship Series.
Mauch retired in 1983 but returned as manager two years later. In 1986 he directed the Angels to their third division crown with a team that featured veterans Jackson, third baseman Doug DeCinces, pitcher Don Sutton, and rookie first baseman Wally Joyner. The Angels again lost the AL Championship Series, this time to the Boston Red Sox.
The Angels came close to a division title in 1995, ending the season in a first-place tie with the Seattle Mariners, but they lost in a one-game playoff.
Their four decade long quest was finally realized when the Angels won the World Series in 2002, with a team led by former Dodgers catcher Mike Scioscia.

The Puzzling Life of Edward de Vere
Political Allegory in Venus and Adonis
Contact: email@example.com
I intended this to be a short essay on political and historic references apparent in Venus and Adonis. As I progressed, it became obvious that the entire poem is consistently and coherently of that single purpose. In these essays and spreadsheets, I propose a new method of reading Shakespeare's non-dramatic poetry that recognizes his desire to eliminate figurative interpretation and replace it with literal meaning. This is achieved by contextual and semantical 'sleight of hand'; by changing context, meaning is transposed through the wonder of polysemy. I believe he developed this 'process' in order to communicate his readiness to lead the oppressed religious majority of Britain. Applying this method to the most difficult passages in Shakespeare confirms this clear and simple design.
If you are new to the question of Shake-speare authorship, my effort in this arcane matter is not a good place to begin, and I refer you to any of many excellent books on the subject. To understand my argument you will need a familiarity with the works of Shake-speare, Lyly, and Griffin, and also of Tudor history 1520-1604. If, on the other hand, you already suspect there is more than imaginative genius manifest in the plays and poetry, read on.
This is a work in progress; it has not been proof read, nor edited, and I apologize for obvious errors. Though incomplete, the trajectory is unmistakable. I am distributing the first third now, because of the impending release of Anonymous, a film on the authorship of Shake-speare that I understand contains misreadings of de Vere's life – but not to worry, the story as the author tells it himself is sensational enough. I make no claims of accuracy in interpreting the thoughts of a writer dead for 400 years; I'm sure there are many points that will be clarified on closer examination. The author, however, is explicit in his desire to identify himself, to lay claim to the greatest literary canon in the English language, and to be completely understood.

230 Pounds, Water & Smart Lipo Combined on Arms, Tummy, Love Handles; Unpleasant Experience - Schaumburg, IL
To keep this brief and to the point, I am 5'4,...
I met with Mir Jafer Joffrey, and pictures were shown to me that had my body types. Although, a few of these patients results were noticeable and shown signs of improvements, I personally thought, my results would be similar or at least shown signs of improvements. I knew I wouldn't have a tummy tuck outcome, but overall looking better in my cloths. It is two month later and I see very little signs of improvements.
I would highly suggest someone my size and weight try to lose as much weight as possible if you decide to do the lipo. Dis honest surgeons are not going to tell you the total truth. The truth is that, even after the fat is removed, you still have to work out to the MAX to see the overall body contouring.
It is two month later and I am still sore, the procedure, I am assume went well, I am still alive, but the healing process feel like forever.
I am not sure if it is worth it, because I still have to push hard in my work out regime to see the full results, in which I probably could have done with out the lipo and just work out hard anyway to lose the fat. In any case, I am still pushing myself to lose the fat or more fat!
After recently having a baby 8 months ago, I stayed in the hospital for 2 days. The service was excellent. The entire staff was wonderful! Can I say the same about ChicagoLipo.com Lift Laser & Body Center? No, I am schocked and surprised! I had my procedure late in the evening and I was placed under general anaesthetic, I remembered waking up, leaving the surgey room and being pushed in a wheel chair into a smaller room and being advised to put on my clothes. I don't think I had any recovery times. I thought I should recover for at least an hour, but I felt I was rushed and pushed out the door, as it was late in the evening, close to 8pm. I feel the staff was rushing trying to get home. When I awaked from the procedure Dr. Mir Jafer Joffrey had already left the building. I personally thought that was very unprofessional, given he wasn't there to see if I fully recovered. After about 2 days or so from the procedure, I did receive two follow up phone calls from staff members to inquire about how I was doing. However, I was never asked to schedule a follow up appointment. (I not sure, if they even do follow up appointments). But, I called a few days later to requests photos that taken of me on the day of the procedure (in which I never received), I then inquire about a follow up appointment. An appointment date was set, but I neglected to even attend the appointment because of the bad service and overall embarrassment of the total outcome of this procedure. It is so shocking that these medical professionals would provide such service. They could care less about a follow up appoitment because they knew results were not going to be noticable. I am more so disappointed in the customer services then in then the overall outcome procedure. FYI -I still get calls from the hospital were I had my baby. They call to check and see how baby and I are doing. Now that is the excellent aftercare and follow that I would like to have seen with these medical professionals.

Credit allowed by Undergraduate Admissions is, in all cases, subject to review by a student's senior college, regarding if credit will apply to a particular degree. Some Senior Colleges have specific rules for transfer grades and will only accept a "C" or better for required courses, or some will only accept a particular GPA in courses applied to a major. It is recommended that students carefully review senior college requirements and consult with their prospective senior college if they have specific questions about a particular program or degree.
Once admitted to LSU, transfer students will receive an evaluation of transfer credit summary in the mail. Students may consult with an academic advisor to determine which courses will need to be further evaluated by LSU faculty. If exact course equivalence is required, then an advisor may recommend submitting a course syllabus for review by the appropriate department. In this case, an evaluation of transfer credit form for out-of-state courses or substitution of transfer credit form for in-state courses would need to be completed by the department. Transfer Student Orientation will feature a transfer credit evaluation session that will allow students to get courses evaluated all at once.
Articulation Matrix
For all in-state two and four year public institutions, LSU participates in the Articulation Matrix which is a crosswalk of how freshman and sophomore level courses transfer amongst the state. The Articulation Matrix can be found on the Board of Regents website.

Wichita State University student Michael Atapka has admitted to law enforcement officials he has been having sexual relationships with two underage girls in Saline County.
The 23-year-old is a former a member of Wichita State's Student Government Association. Just last year he ran for student body president.
Atapka is now in the Saline County jail. He has been charged with seven counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, seven counts of criminal sodomy and one count of aggravated indecent solicitation of a child.
The mother of one of the victims found evidence Atapka was communicating with her daughter over the Internet. She turned it over to a law enforcement officer at the girl's school.

We just wrapped up our annual Christmas trip to the upper midwest, and I finished it up with the three icy rides below:
And here are all the photos from the three rides…
Kristine had errands to run in Rice Lake (about 20 miles away), and we wanted to take the kids ice skating – so we worked it out for me to bike down there on some nice backroads for a good 32 mile ride. It was COLD. The air temps were in the lower teens, but the wind was just unbelievable. I only had Kristine's iphone with me to take these pictures, otherwise I would have taken video of the snow blowing across the road at 20mph. Check out the pics!
|Here's the annotated topocreator route.
|Lots of long straight flat icy snowy roads – the challenge is finding a smooth line and riding as fast as you can without falling
|Some curvy roads too
|Some very icy roads – this is the stuff you want to avoid
|A huge snow plow
|The view from the high point of the ride
|Blowing snow – the windchill was incredible. There was one part of the ride where the wind was blowing hard from the side and being funneled right into my eye by my sunglasses. I had to turn to look into the wind because my eyeball felt like it was starting to freeze!
|Snow drifts
|Rice Lake – the cool thing about this picture is the island with a picnic table only in the winter (or by boat in the summer)
|Ski-do anyone?
|My mountain bike at the ice rink
|An icy version of me at the ice rink.
This was awesome to watch. Unfortunately my batteries died right before this guy took off … literally. He got going very fast and then jumped at least 8 feet in the air with the windsail taking him up and setting him back down. I got a new set of batteries in just in time for him to make it back. How cool!!!

For 25 years, World of Dance has taught ballroom dances including the cha-cha, waltz, salsa, and foxtrot to students whose skill levels range from recreational to competitive. The studio's approach is simple yet effective. Students typically start with one-on-one or group lessons so they can learn techniques and basic body positions. They then apply what they've practiced during the studio's regular dance parties, performing the waltz to demonstrate their graceful new moves or the tango to fulfill their latent desires to chew on roses.
At Rocky Mountain Dance Academy, students learn to bust their best moves under the instruction of devoted instructors. The schedule offers a wide variety of classes that cater to diverse boogie ambitions. Children 7–18 years old can cultivate coordination and leverage power over their lanky limbs in jazz, ballet, hip hop, pom pom, and lyrical classes; 2–8 year olds can enjoy the combination jazz-ballet classes. Energetic adult hip hop and Zumba aerobics classes help adults (and anyone over 7 years old) reach their fitness goals without having to get up in the middle of the night to bench-press the TV. Your six-week class will meet for one hour each week and can begin at any time.
At Spring Oasis Belly Dance, owner/instructor Barb Ferrill Van Hoy shepherds shimmiers through theatrical, low-impact workouts in a five-class schedule filled with Middle Eastern–style routines. Rug-cutters in the Beginning Belly Dance class combine traditional movements into fun new performances, and the more advanced Improvisational Choreography teaches finger cymbals how to scat jazz riffs. Students should wear clothes they can move in, and Van Hoy encourages her undulating constituents to bring coin scarves, harem pants, and traditional wetsuits if they'd like. The studio welcomes dancers of all skill levels and ages, and some classes include opportunities to perform for audiences.
The dance students at Danceworks of Colorado Springs learn more than just technique and grace. They also develop confidence and self-esteem, beginning with Tots classes for 2- and 3-year-olds and building all the way up through high-schoolers' graduation performances. In addition to traditional tap, ballet, and jazz classes, the studio offers hip-hop classes for teens, specialty classes such as musical theater and acro, and an intensive dance company for students aged 5 and older.

YouTube: Auto-captions for everyone
Google is now letting anyone use its new auto-captioning feature for YouTube videos.

The controversial gay pride parade in Wausau has been canceled.
The City Clerk's office received a letter from the event organizer saying that the parade would not be taking place.
The planned event has faced backlash from both straight and gay members of the community who felt it would not portray LGBT individuals in the best light.
The negative publicity is one of the reasons why the parade was canceled.
"To sum it up there was just too much negativity and confusion about the parade." said organizer Daxx Bouvier
An equality march that was scheduled for Saturday is still expected to take place.
It will begin at Marathon Park at 3 pm.

Chicago (AP) Gun-rights groups have already filed a lawsuit against Chicago's handgun ban -- after a similar ban in Washington, D.C. was struck down by the Supreme Court.
The National Rifle Association is planning to go to court and challenge San Francisco's ban.
The high court ruled that Americans can keep guns at home for self-defense. It's the first time the justices ever ruled on the meaning of gun rights under the Second Amendment.
But the court also said the right to bear arms is not absolute. And the mayor of Philadelphia, Michael Nutter, says that's an "explicit statement of support" for cities that are creating "reasonable measures" targeting those who will carry weapons in order to do harm.
The San Francisco ban prevents people from carrying guns on county property -- including parks, schools and community centers. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom says he wishes the justices who rejected the D.C. ban would first "spend a week in public housing."
Chicago Mayor Richard Daley predicts that if his city's ban is overturned, there will be more violence.

I teach Asthanga Yoga. This branch of Yoga uses physical poses or Asana, Breathing Techniques or Pranayama, and Meditation to acheive physical and mental balance as well as spirituality. I usually start a yoga session by introducing a simple theme based on the philosophy of yoga and Om chanting. We then do some gentle stretching to warm up. After that I demonstrate each posture and talk students through it. I finish with a breathing and relaxation session. With more experienced students I often incorporate some meditation techniques.

"Good choice if you're looking for a new series"
As a cozy mystery the plotting and characters aren't bad, although I had trouble relating to the twentysomethings working at the mall. The Piggeldys, a pair of retired circus clowns, and the pet monkey (son substitute), Higgledy, broke that up a bit. The savings "hints" seemed more common sense/general knowledge than anything new to me, becoming a bit annoying breaking into the audio format, but I grew used to them after a while.
Where I had real trouble concerned Maddie's husband, Frank -- talk about your classic narcissistic bullies! She spends much of the book in fear of "upsetting" him, especially in keeping the successful Mrs. Frugalicious site a secret. I wasn't too thrilled with his homophobic disapproval of one of the twins being interested in acting more than football, although Maddie expresses her disapproval of his attitude (to the reader) as well. It was really a dreary pain seeing her cater to his obnoxiousness throughout the book. However ... without a specific spoiler, that's resolved at nearly the end of the story, so that Maddie has the upper hand going forward with a series.
Tavia Gilbert makes an excellent fit as narrator.
"Glad it was cheap!"
Good that this was a short book (non-fiction "novella" as it were), as I never got used to the author's rather verbose, corny style. I suppose it may well be the way Victorian sea captains spoke, and I assumed that the narrator faithfully reproduced that effect, but the result just wasn't for me; had this been a full-length work, I doubt I'd have finished it. The final hour (25%) consists of a second-hand tale from the South Seas written by Slocum, based on reports he says he "translated" with the aid of a Polynesian Bible as his Rosetta Stone; I gave that part a pass.
I had my doubts about "Sailing Alone Around the World", which now goes into the Highly Unlikely category.
"Read the print edition years ago"
and liked it, so thought I'd try the audio edition this time. Carole Boyd was a perfect fit as narrator, truly enhancing my enjoyment of the story!
"Three narrators definitely helped make the book!"
I suppose this one might qualify as chick-lit, although I could easily see a similar story featuring three brothers with the same family dynamics. At first, I didn't really care for the youngest sister, Retta, much at all; she seemed as though she did get far in using her looks. Barb, the oldest, came off as a tad cold, although she had her moments. As the book went on, I did feel for the middle sister, Faye, having to play "double agent" with both Barb (in terms of keeping Retta from officially joining the agency), as well as Retta (maintaining friendly contact in spite of that). By the end, I was left with the feeling that Barb and Retta are just so different that they can't really identify with each other much, rather than any sort of actual clear animosity. As a bit of a spoiler, there's a clue that Retta's involvements will be "tolerated" on an unofficial basis, even if her sisters aren't ready to have her join the agency as a partner; Retta seenms as though she'd be okay with that, so I would be as well.
Three stars instead of four owing to the plot itself, which like many series set-up books isn't the strongest. I lost track a few times of who was where doing what with the rotating narration, feeling that it wasn't worth the time to keep going back.
If possible, I'd strongly recommend listening to the audio edition, where having three narrators with very distinct voices helps the reader get into character. That's not to say that when each has to voice the others as part of dialogue it didn't work. Barb's reader came across successfully as an older, never married attorney; I can relate to her surprise, and slow acceptance, when one of the characters shows an unexpected interest in her. Faye sounded a bit ... flat to me at first, but I came to realize that her life had been much ... quieter (shall we say) than her attorney sister, or more aggressively flamboyant one. Interestingly, she's the only one given a pronounced Michigan accent. Retta's voice came across as the closest to one I might expect for a cozy mystery audio - a bit snarky, though not obnoxious; her persona keeps the book from just plodding along with the more serious voices of her sisters.
I'm quite interested to see how a second adventure would turn out.
"Vast improvement"
over the author's previous book - night and day! I was able to sustain interest in this one fairly effortlessly, and it was just about the right length as by the time he reached Italy I was ready for things to start wrapping up. Hiring a professional narrator made all the difference, even if the fellow bungled a New York accent (though that voice only lasted a few minutes); his pompous, sneering Spanish fellow was a hoot.
"Slow build up to the murders themselves"
Detective Cristina Molen makes a brief appearance at the beginning, and then the novel starts before the crimes and we work our way forward to the discovery of the bodies; I do not like that method much. Had the characters been engaging, that might've been okay, but they weren't. Instead, the first part was a few hours of listening comprehension (vocabulary practice) for me. The crime investigation was more interesting, and I appreciated the Amsterdam setting; although, I kept wondering what the noun "haya" meant, until I twigged that "La Haya" was The Hague.
Audio narration was easy to follow once I got used to the reader's style.
"Recommended? Maybe ..."
When it was good, I really got into the author's depictions of Russian culture, but when it was not ... we're talking "Rich Peoples' Problems: Moscow" as a reality show, which is just the teensiest bit difficult to identify with. Your Mileage May Vary here, so AYOR as they say (At Your Own Risk).
Author's self-narration worked fairly well here, which isn't usually the case.
"Bill Bryson channels Margaret Mead"
An excellent travel narrative of the nation, beyond the tourist zones of Jakarta and Bali. Pisani visits some fairly remote areas, running across ethnicities that even the folks in the cities aren't aware of themselves ("It's all 'tribal' out there ..."). While she does a great job in relating stories that weren't so funny at the time, but she can laugh at them now (such as going back into a quicksand-like mudhole to retrieve a sandal out of sheer determination); however, the sections of the legal system, and ecological problems, were a bit grim.
Definitely recommended for an insight into the country from a westerner who has spent serious time there, speaking the language fluently. Audio narrator was well-matched to the material.
"Overall good, though ending a bit creepy"
Most of this book is a fairly evocative description of pre-war Romania, tough to read in hindsight knowing that a decade later the places he visited were (largely) reduced to wasteland. Still, that's true of continental settings of the period. I was struck how Sitwell freely refers to poor agricultural workers as "peasants"; would he object to poor, rural Englishmen being called that? Hmmm ... I wonder ...
During the travels, he has rather ... uncharitable things to say about the Jewish "masses" he observes, but those can be (grudgingly) chalked up as ignorant, Victorian-era generalizations, the occasional nasty, noisome belch. However, the last section focuses on what he calls the "Jewish question" - what to "do" about the millions of Hasidim in Eastern Europe? He suggests relocating these unproductive, backward folks to somewhere remote, such as Madagascar or South America. Although never coming close to a "final" solution, I was left wondering how much he regretted the one that was implemented?
Audio narration is excellent.
"Character driven story"
I found the narrator's European accent (Iberian Spanish) made the story a bit hard to follow. In a nutshell, it's an old man's quandary of reconciling a sense of obligation and desire, where he can't do both. So, not a whole lot actually "happens" in the book.
"As another review once said ..."
even if 50% of the information is true, there must be something there. That's kind of how I felt about this one, given the author's admitted hatred of Democratic politics. I like President Obama, though have felt frustrated by his "hands off" approach to the actual political process, until recently at least. In a sense, I can't argue that the White House team did behave amateurishly in terms of letting their opponents define them on issues.
I'm no fan of the Clintons either, though I felt Hillary managed her best to bring her people to the nominee's side for a 2008 win. I've never been a fan of Bill since he appeared on the national scene in 1992 - ugh. Here, he's bitter and obsessed over the way he and Hillary have been treated by the Obamas since 2008. Supposedly, his 2012 all-out effort on behalf of Obama was motivated by fantasies of a "third term" (his, or Hillary's, they'll have to thrash out if and when it happens), with Obama obliged to strongly support Hillary from the moment she announces (which the author absolutely asserts she will). I was left unsure whether such an agreement really existed, or is something Bill felt was implied?
The bottom line is that the un-named sources were likely present during the events, giving (relatively) accurate reports for the book, even if spun rather ... dramatically.
So, I found the book worth reading, even if the author's bias did intrude a lot. Of the four principals, Hillary came off as the most sympathetic, and Barack as the most negative, with his aloof manner, allowing himself to be duped by the modern day Rasputin, Valerie Jarrett. I had a very hard time reconciling the largely upbeat-in-interviews Michelle with the entitled prima donna she is portrayed as having become; the truth must be a little of both, but how much I couldn't say.

Breaching the Blue is run by Mark Gibson, a freediver, environmentalist, and social scientist currently working with the Conservation Criminology Unit at Michigan State University. It exists to connect the dots for a better understanding of global marine conservation challenges.
"I got my start in ocean conservation issues back in 2005, when I discovered SCUBA diving. I was working on humanitarian projects in Central America, but the excitement of investigating municipal corruption and human rights atrocities couldn't compete with the majestic Caribbean marine life just off the coast of Honduras. I obtained my divemaster certification, led tours for a dive shop, and assisted in the research for a whale shark documentary. I decided to go 'all in' after returning stateside. I went to Johns Hopkins SAIS in Washington, DC for a master's in international economics and environmental policy and I afterwards entered into the marine policy field.
In my professional life, I have been very fortunate to have engaged on marine pollution, destructive deep-sea fishing, international tuna management, rights-based management (RBM) and illegal fishing at Oceana, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and the World Wildlife Fund, three of the world's leading marine conservation NGOs. This work has involved policy advocacy amongst legislators in the United States and the European Union, as well as direct stakeholder engagement with governments and industry in Latin America. I now continue my work through PhD research into the causes of and solutions to illegal fishing at Michigan State University's School of Criminal Justice and its Conservation Criminology Unit.
In my spare time, you can find me blogging, freediving, learning new languages, or (preferably) sitting on the perfect beach on Little Corn Island, Nicaragua.
You can contact me at email@example.com and follow me on Twitter @breachingblue.

MONDAY, April 28, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- When prescribing antidepressants for teens and young adults, doctors should not start with high doses of the drugs because it might raise the risk of suicidal behavior, new research suggests.
The study, which was published online April 28 in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, found that younger patients who began treatment with higher-than-recommended doses of antidepressants were more than twice as likely to try to harm themselves as those who were initially treated with the same drugs at lower, recommended doses.
"If I were a parent, I definitely wouldn't want my child to start on a higher dose of these drugs," said study author Dr. Matthew Miller, associate director of the Injury Control Research Center at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.
The research is likely to inform an ongoing debate in psychiatry -- whether or not it's safe to prescribe antidepressants to children and young adults.
In 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a public warning about the risk of suicide in kids and teens treated with a class of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
The warning followed a government review that found youngsters who took the drugs were twice as likely to try to harm themselves as those who took inactive "placebo" pills. The agency expanded its black box warning on the drugs in 2007 to include adults younger than age 25.
More recent research has challenged the idea that antidepressants are dangerous for kids and young adults, however.
A review published in 2007 in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that the benefits of taking antidepressants outweighed the potential harms to teens and young adults.
Another study published in 2007 in the American Journal of Psychiatry showed that while youth prescriptions for SSRIs have dropped by 22 percent since the FDA's black box warning, suicides in children and teens have increased. Some experts cite the finding as proof that the FDA's warning was short-sighted and the drugs actually prevent youth suicides.
But no studies have looked at suicide risk by drug dosage, as the latest study did.
For the research, the study authors pulled information from a large prescription claims database. The study included more than 162,000 patients aged 10 to 64 with a diagnosis of depression who started taking an SSRI medication between 1998 and 2010.
Researchers restricted their analysis to three of the most commonly prescribed antidepressants, Celexa, Zoloft and Prozac. And they separated users into those who started at the recommended dosages of those medications, or those who were prescribed higher-than-recommended doses of the drugs.
The normal doses were 20 milligrams per day for Celexa, 50 milligrams per day for Zoloft and 20 milligrams per day for Prozac. Patients who were initially prescribed more than one drug were excluded from the study.
Nearly 18 percent of patients in the study were started on doses that were higher than those, in conflict with current medical guidelines.
Then researchers checked patients' medical records to see how many had committed acts of deliberate self-harm within a year of starting their medications.
Among those younger than 24, patients on higher doses harmed themselves at roughly twice the rate of those on lower doses. During the study period, there were 32 incidents of self-harm for every 1,000 young patients taking high doses while there were only 15 such incidents per 1,000 patients taking recommended doses.
The researchers further estimated that doctors would see one additional case of self-injury for every 136 younger patients treated with higher-than-recommended doses of antidepressants. And the risk of suicide attempts seemed to be highest in the first 90 days on the medications.
The investigators found no significant increase in the risk of self-harm by drug dosage for people over the age of 25, however, suggesting the effect was age-dependent.
And there was no increase in suicide risk in kids and teens treated with recommended drug dosages.
The study was observational, which means that researchers can't say for sure that drug dosage was the only thing that made young patients more likely to hurt themselves.
Dr. David Brent, who holds an endowed chair in suicide studies at the University of Pittsburgh, said he thinks there might also be something about the patients themselves that prompted doctors to start them on a higher dose in the first place.
"I am guessing that, assuming it was not just medical error, that there was something that the physicians were responding to -- either greater severity or that the patient had had a history of needing higher doses to respond in the past," said Brent, who wrote a commentary on the study, but was not involved in the research.
But the Harvard researchers don't think that's the case.
Miller said the team looked closely at the data to try to find differences that might explain why some patients were prescribed higher doses of the drugs.
Among the factors they considered were how recently patients were diagnosed with depression, where they were diagnosed as inpatients or outpatients, and whether they also had anxiety or a history of suicide attempts.
There were almost no differences between the patient groups, other than the dose of antidepressants they were initially prescribed, the study authors indicated.
The researchers even performed a statistical test to calculate the likelihood that there was some ghost factor they missed that might account for the differences. The test showed that was unlikely.
Brent agreed, adding that the research should encourage doctors to go low and slow with antidepressants in young patients, as clinical guidelines recommend, increasing the dose only as needed.

You have quoted 2dboy (an indie games developer) as your source. What you need to take into account the the effectively non existent supply of games for OSX.
2dboy launched World of Goo (which is a great game BTW) to the market. At a guess there is at least 100 times the competition in the Windows games market compared to the OSX market. I stands to reason that OSX gamers when presented with limited choice are going to spend their money in a more focused way.
As an aside I run Windows 7 on my home PC. Macs are great for boring stuff like designing websites and creating business logos but I use my Windows PC for fun stuff like Bad Company 2 and Dragon Age.

Who owns the network?
My understanding of UK contract law with regards to ISPs is that the level 1 ISP (ie BT in most cases) actually owns the network. Surely if the consumer is liable for how his connection has been used BT is thus equally liable for any offences committed on its network?
Has anybody suggested this crowd of cowboys sue BT as the owner of the network?

Ships pollute more than planes
Ships pump out twice as much carbon dioxide as planes, according to new figures from the maritime industry body Intertanko. The body also warns that the industry should brace itself for the attentions of various governments. Bill Box, from Intertanko, told the Independent newspaper: "Shipping has not yet been regulated and for …
Other emissions from ships
JeffyPooh is right that bunker fuel is the something like to scrag end of the products of crude ("otherwise a waste product"). But he doesn't know much about ships or shipping. Few old ships are efficient enough to still be used - fuel is a large part of the cost - and any "old smoldering slag heaps" would soon be arrested under port state controls, they wouldn't pass flag or class inspections either.
But he continues to be right about bunkers when he states that the other emissions "ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT GREENHOUSE GAS EFFECT". What he doesn't say is that the SOX emissions actually have a refridgerant effect. A major EU-funded study (CE Delft: Climate Policies for Maritime Transport. Design and assessment of possible EU policies. January 2007) has shown that shipping actually has an overall global cooling effect. Currently other emissions more than balance the global warming effects of the world fleet's CO2 emissions.
But SOX and NOX (the problem emissions from burning bunkers) can be damaging to health if released near to land. However, regulations to reduce these pollutants in the established risk areas of the Baltic and North Sea came into force in August this year. This is why the global industry has consistently called, through the International Chamber of Shipping, for a holistic approach to the reduction of ships' air emissions, which should seek to balance the competing pressures in the interest of finding the greenest practical solution across the piece.
SOX and NOX are far from easy to reduce (the car rating is low as the fuel has not got the NOX in it - but to use distallate fuel in ships would mean using the same amount of oil as that consumed by the EEC again (you would have to refine that much more, you can't just change the bunker fuel). That would not be good for the environment - the increased refining would mean a 15% increase in CO2 from refineries - or the shrinking oil reserves.

Your ticket to fast and easy eating is sitting out there in your yard. We're talking about your grill, and with these expert tips and tricks, you'll use it all month to turn out delicious meals. Because hot nights should not involve a hot stove.
By Charlotte Druckman
Roast onions whole
Heat 'em, skins and all, directly on the grill until charred and tender. Cosentino then likes to slice the onions in half and separate the leaves before dressing them with sherry vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, toasted breadcrumbs, and fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or chives.
Enliven an eggplant
Start off by placing the whole veggie directly on a hot grill, then lower the heat and roll the eggplant around until the skin feels soft and is almost bursting. Split it lengthwise and dress with red wine vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, crumbled feta cheese, sea salt, and flat-leaf parsley or torn mint leaves.
