13th; W11 D11 L16
It was always going to be hard for Bologna to replicate their 9th place finish from 2011-12. The loss of talisman Marco Di Vaio to the MLS made Stefano Pioli's task that bit harder. Loan moves for Alberto Gilardino and Manolo Gabbiadini bridged the gap, while Marco Motta joined for a season from Juventus to bolster the backline.
The Rossoblu lost their opening two games, before coming from 2-0 down to snatch a last gasp 3-2 win away at AS Roma. Soon after, the club went on another four game losing streak. A failure to find any sort of consistency was highlighted by the fact that only three of their games played in the opening half of the season ended in a draw. The side reached a crossroads in February as they looked more and more like flirting with relegation.
A purple patch arrived at just the right time, as Bologna enjoyed their best run of the season, winning three games in succession between late February and mid March, including an impressive 1-0 road win against Inter Milan. The San Siro victory was sweet revenge for a late Coppa Italia exit at the hands of the Nerazzurri just a few weeks prior. It proved to be the Rossoblu's penultimate victory, as the side drew five games in succession during the final part of the season. Despite being clear from relegation, Bologna were given a rude awakening courtesy of a 6-0 thumping at Lazio. However, Pioli restored some much needed credit to his side, picking up three points at Parma and a draw against Genoa to close out the season.
Most significant match
Napoli 2-3 Bologna (16 December 2012)
Of Bologna's five away victories, this one was the most magical. Trailing 2-1 with five minutes left to play, Panagiotis Kone notched up a goal of the season contender with a crisp scissors-kick finish. Daniele Portanova headed a last minute winner on his return from a lengthy ban in one of his final appearances for the club. Just three days later, the visitors repeated the trick in the Coppa Italia, coming from a goal down to win 2-1. Kone netted in that game too.
Biggest surprise
Alberto Gilardino
The goals had seemingly dried up for the frontman at Genoa, with many beginning to whisper that the 30-year-old's best days were behind him. Fast forward a year later and Gila has answered his critics with gusto, top scoring for Bologna with 13 goals and filling the void left by Di Vaio. Gilardino has also managed to hold a down a squad place in the national setup and will be hoping to replicate his form for whomever he plays for in the next campaign.
Biggest disappointment
Failing to turn up at the Stadio Olimpico
After playing out a 0-0 draw at the Dall'Ara back in December, it came as a surprise when Bologna rolled over for Lazio and wilted to a 6-0 defeat on a hot day in Rome. The players had literally gone on their summer holidays a couple of weeks early and suffered their heaviest loss of the season as a result. No attacking bite, no fight, very uncharacteristic of Bologna.
What needs changing?
Bologna seemed to win at the right times to keep themselves out of trouble. The side had no trouble finding the net, but a shaky defence led to many dropped points. A couple of defensive reinforcements will be top of the summer shopping list, while the club should also be doing their best to keep the majority of their attacking players.
Who's off in the summer?
Gabbiadini is almost certain to return to parent club Juventus. The Bianconeri are also pursuing Alessandro Diamanti, whose future remains a hotbed of contention. The former West Ham man has pledged his future to the Rossoblu for now, stating he's happy with life in Emilia, but this saga looks set to rumble on through the summer.
If Bologna keep one individual...
Alessandro Diamanti
A late bloomer, the 30-year-old is currently playing the best football of his career. Diamanti has undoubtedly been the heartbeat of the current Bologna side. His uncanny mazy dribbles, ability to ping a dead ball and seven Serie A strikes this season have seen him earn regular call-ups to the national squad. He seems to flourish as the big fish in a small pond. The question is, can the Bologna hierarchy manage to keep their prized asset on board next season?

I've been busy trying to cultivate some good in my life. I actually am working on a huge change as we speak! Fingers crossed for good news.
I've been making some amazing food that needs to be shared and been having some even more significant life experiences that have really been showing me what I want out of life. That post is coming. It is too important to rush!
In the meantime. I've been having a real spur of creativity that I've been proud of. I got creative with my breakfast this morning. It has definitely been Fall in my kitchen – and finally just starting to look that way outside this morning.
One of my favorite fall veggies is parsnips!! I did not discover this love until just last year. I first had them as a puree. It was love at first bite.
The beautiful white cousin of the carrot – but much more earty and bolder in flavor. Not as bitter as a turnip and not as starchy as a potato! It is really great in a soup with spices like rosemary, tarragon, or parsley. But roast them with some cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg and it will change your life.
Actually roasting them covered in almond butter will really change your life. – Just do it
Besides being in season during FALL, parsnips are great in other ways:
Benefits of Parsnips:
- sweeter than carrots
- high in potassium
- great source of fiber
- vitamin C
- naturally low in calories, fat, sodium
- great thickener for soups or as a puree
I've recently been all about dishes with parsnip "rice"
Just pulse some chopped, raw parsnips in the food processor a few times. And voila.
Saute some kale in dijon and apple cider vinegar – add some parsnip "rice" and lentils – you got a great side dish or base for more toppings like other roasted fall veggies – or a nice over medium egg and some avocado!
But about parsnips for breakfast!
While prepping my parsnip rice last night, and thinking about how I have't had any cinnamon roasted parsnip "fries" yet this season. My mind quickly switched to breakfast.
So without further ado I give you
Grain Free Parsnip Porridge
This is an easy, grain free porridge, that really gets you going without weighing you down! And incase the thought of veggies in the am makes you nervous – this porridge is sweet and looks just like the traditional oatmeal.
- 1 cup parsnip rice
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (I used almond. Coconut could be fun)
- lots of cinnamon (to taste)
- dash vanilla
- dash of sea salt
- dash of nutmeg (optional)
- dried fruit and nuts / usual hot cereal toppings of choice
- Bring almond milk to a boil
- Add parsnip rice
- Cook on low until liquid absurd ~7-8 minutes
- add vanilla, salt, spices
- Empty into a bowl – add toppings – enjoy your new, seasonal, healthy porridge!
Yummo! – Atleast to me anyway. I know not everyone will agree. * I'm look at you Aunt Karla! *
I'm counting on my #strangebutgood crew to support me.
If you have kids, I think you should give this try and see if you can fool 'em slash bring them to the dark side of veggie love. This is a bonus that is it not green too! Easier to trick them. I love my green smoothies and spinach, but it is nice to change it up and keep the warm, comforting oatmeal feel.
What are your thoughts on parnsips and/or veggies for breakfast?
What is the most creative thing you done lately that you are proud of?
I'm off to work on more of that good I was speaking of – and cross my heart you will know soon too. Freckles and Spice is part of that good!!

We closed Rinaldo Saturday night. It was bittersweet for all of us; we'd all really fallen in love with the show, and we also hated to say goodbye to our conductor, Gary Wedow, and our former Resident Artist soprano, Sharin Apostolou. But that's the business! We always have to say goodbye.
We're all tired and there's a ton to wrap up (heartbreakingly, all those Rinaldo parts I so carefully crafted have to be disassembled and returned to the publisher). But I wanted to take a minute to share a few miscellaneous Rinaldo items before we put Handel away for awhile.
Fun facts
The boat
The tiny boat that appears at the top of Act II, which sails across the top of the set and, it turns out, is attached to Armida's hair, was a big hit with the audience. It's one of my favorite scenes -- I love stage magic! But do you know a crazy thing? That boat wasn't just stuffed into Lindsay's wig during the Act I intermission. The boat had its own wig.
Lindsay would swap wigs prior to that number, from her regular Armida wig to the boat wig, and then would swap back. That's a lot of work for about 90 seconds onstage. But so worth it!!
Though most of the singers ornamented relatively the same way every night (with some variations), André and Nick, our Argante and Herald/Mago, changed their ornaments up for every show. I found myself surprised in general by how exciting I found ALL the ornamentation in the opera, and I can only imagine what it must have been like in Handel's day to attend a performance where most of the singers were improvising in the moment.
The increasingly long duet
This is something that you only would have picked up on if you'd been in the audience for every performance (a feat I think only accomplished by our Resident Historian & Lecturer, Bob Kingston). Caitlin and Lindsay (Rinaldo and Armida) sing a duet during Act II in which Armida is begging Rinaldo to stay with her and promising how faithful a lover she'll be, while Rinaldo refuses and longs to have Almirena returned to him. The 'ornament' that Lindsay and Caitlin ended up singing at the very beginning of the da capo section was holding their notes increasingly longer every night. Lindsay would sing her line -- 'Fermati!' ('stay') -- and Caitlin would answer -- 'No, crudel!" (essentially 'no, cruel one'), and beginning, I think, on Tuesday, I started to realize that Lindsay was holding her first note longer than normal. On Thursday I actually burst out laughing in the booth because Lindsay's first note became probably twice as long as normal, and Caitlin answered in turn. The audience must have picked up on the gag, because they chuckled. Saturday night's was even longer. It was a small thing but delightful, and hilarious.
One last 'academic' note about Rinaldo
One of the most prevalent questions we heard during the run of the show was, why were two of the men played by women? We found this question a little perplexing, because pants roles are very common in opera, and we've certainly had our share of them. Off the top of my head: Cherubino in The Marriage of Figaro, Hansel in Hansel & Gretel, The child in L'enfant et les sortileges, Siebel in Faust, Amore in Il Ballo delle ingrate. But despite the prevalence of women playing men in our art form, we've had a huge number of people ask us about the casting choice.
Over lunch last week, we all chatted about it. Why was this show different than any other show with pants roles? Why were the pants roles in Rinaldo so much more noticeable ... or at least, why were they more noticed? We came up with some possible answers:
-- The folks asking about the characters of Rinaldo and Eustazio are new to opera and this is their first experience with a pants role. This would be awesome!
-- There are two women onstage playing men, rather than one, which makes it more obvious.
-- It's the main character, rather than a side character, who is a man played by a woman.
-- A pivotal part of the story is Rinaldo's love for Almirena, maybe making it more obvious that it's two women? But Cherubino's character is almost exclusively 'defined' by his crush on Rosina. Hm.
-- The women playing men in Rinaldo are both portraying soldiers -- men rather than boys. The only other time we've seen this recently, that I can recall, was in another Handel opera, our 2008 production of Rodelinda, where the king, Bertarido, was played by a contralto.
The Rodelinda example is very pertinent to Rinaldo. Italian opera in Handel's time was dominated by castrati, men castrated as boys to preserve their treble voices while allowing them to use the singing power of a fully grown man. Obviously, this practice no longer exists today. This leaves us a few casting choices for the castrato role:
-- Take the role down an octave and give it to a tenor or baritone.
-- Leave the role as-is and give it to a mezzo.
-- Leave the role as-is and give it to a countertenor.
Most of the folks who asked us about Rinaldo mainly wanted to know why we didn't use a countertenor. Did we have something against countertenors? Certainly not! We had a FABULOUS countertenor, John Holliday, in our production of Galileo Galilei, and have also used countertenors in La Calisto and Rodelinda. Did you know the countertenor voice has only recently begun to make a resurgence in popularity? As tastes change, roles which have come to be sung by mezzi may eventually be routinely sung by countertenors instead, but countertenors are still relatively few and far between, comparatively speaking.
But maybe most importantly -- and my huge caveat here is that I have nothing to do with casting and don't sit in on the process -- is that having a mezzo sing the role is just as 'correct' as having a man do it, and we have a mezzo in the program who can sing the heck out of the music! Why search for a countertenor when we have Caitlin?
In short, none of the casting possibilities available to us today -- a male voice dropped the octave, a mezzo, a countertenor -- are any more 'correct' than the others, since the sound we are trying to replicate is one that no longer exists. And since pants roles are very common in opera, AND since we have two wonderful mezzos who make great men (we kept joking with Hannah that she was alarmingly foxy as a dude), we have two ladies onstage pretending to be men!
I'm already hard at work on Falstaff. Isn't that crazy?! Nothing to do in this business but move forward. The chorus begins rehearsal for our final show on Monday. We'll have more about that ridiculous Sir John Falstaff in the coming weeks.

A man convicted of murder in a deadly shooting after a failed drug deal has been sentenced to life in prison.
After a week-long trial, a Richland County jury convicted 21-year-old Jabriel Singleton in the murder of 24-year-old Dashawn Jones in 2012. He was also found guilty of attempted murder for shooting Jonathan Frazier.
After the verdict was handed down, Judge Knox McMahon sentenced Singleton to life in prison without parole for the murder charge and 30 years for the attempted murder conviction.
Prosecutors say Singleton shot Jones and Frazier after agreeing to sell them marijuana and an XBOX while working together at a recording studio in Hopkins. Prosecutors say Jones and Frazier were shot "numerous times."
After a two-day manhunt, Singleton was found at a local hotel after the shooting.

Reasonably fun line up a steep, smooth slab. Crux is right around the second bolt, although the mantle higher up gives some people trouble too. The rock is pretty good, but the shade and lack of traffic means there's a lot of lichen on this climb. A bit run out (on easy terrain) to the anchors.
The only boltline on the left side of the large, prominent detached flake (see beta photo). This is one of the only climbs on the New Side that gets morning sun and afternoon shade. A good cool-down on hot days. Rap off the anchor to get down.
5 bolts to a 2-bolt rap anchor that is shared with "Time Bandits." The anchor is WAY back there, so far that it's not really practical to try and get the anchor over the lip of the climb. Just use two single-length runners on the bolts and call it good.

Biological Classification Teacher Resources
Find Biological Classification educational ideas and activities
Showing 1 - 20 of 152 resources
Students learn about binomial nomenclature, the scientific system of classification. In this scientific classification lesson, students work cooperatively to complete a binomial scavenger hunt using the internet and a Visual Thesaurus. Student groups compete against other teams to correctly identify and classify the greatest number of organisms according to their binomial and common names.
In this scientific classification worksheet, students read about classification and the questions scientists ask in order to classify, then read about features of different classifications of animals. Worksheet is informational, no associated activities.
Youngsters create a list of grocery store items and then work together to categorize them as if they were setting up the shelves of the market. Then they are given a box of miscellaneous objects to practice categorizing. With these two experiences under their belts, you can then introduce them to the biological classification system and the use of a dichotomous key for identifying unknown organisms. The lesson is specific to Kentucky wildlife, but can easily be adapted no matter where you live.
Students understand the definition of binomial nomenclature. In this binomial nomenclature instructional activity, students classify ordinary animals by seeking their scientific names. Students participate in a knowledge hunt using binomial nomenclature.
Seventh graders explain the importance of taxonomy. For this biology lesson, 7th graders classify organisms accordingly. They develop a mnemonic to help them remember taxonomy levels.
Learners are introduced to the concept of classification as it relates to objects, information, and characteristics. In this classification instructional activity, students research a variety of animals. Learners study the Linnaeus's system of classifying plants and animals on seven levels. Students use the scientific classification system to identify a plant or animal and make significant connections regarding the Latin root based language of each term.
Students explore diverse forms of life by using modern biological classification systems to group animals that are related. Students then study basic scientific groupings like genus, species, mammals, fish, birds, amphibians, and reptiles, and pair different vertebrate animals, identifying their common traits.
Tenth graders are introduced to the the use of similarities and differences in the classification process. Students will then learn how biological classification represents how organisms are related, with species being the most fundamental unit of the classification system.
Students develop their own system for classifying a group of objects or organisms using observed similarities and differences. They investigate the process of scientific classification, and explain how marine organisms are classified by scientists.
Students study about the survival and hunting strategies of several different kinds of spiders. They also be introduced to scientific classification of spiders and write a brief report about one of the spider families they observe.
Poor, misunderstood spiders! They are feared, disrespected, and detested by many people, yet they do so many positive things. A great addition to any insect unit, learn about some of the more common spiders, while hopefully dispelling some cases of arachnophobia. After reading about eight common spiders, the class goes in search of these critters to make field observations, some of which may be completed from kids' own homes. As it states in the lesson plan, the spiders should be observed, not touched, and certainly not squished. If a child finds a dangerous spider in his/her home, they should seek out an adult to relocate the spider outdoors; however, most arachnids found in the home actually keep the bug population to a minimum and do more good than harm. While it isn't expected that everyone will come away from the activities loving spiders, hopefully they will have a new appreciation and respect for the little guys.
Check this out! Part two of a set of slide shows about biological classification; this one zooms in on kindgom plantae and kingdom animalia. Attractive and informational slides cover details that make this most appropriate for advanced biology learners. Not only do they address general characteristics of each kingdom, they touch on reproduction, seed structure, symmetry, evolutionary trends, body cavity formation and embryo development. This may end up being your most preferred presentation!
An in-depth introduction to biological classification is presented at the opening of this presentation, dividing life into six kingdoms. Although it does not address the currently accepted level of domain, it is an outstanding exploration of the criteria for each kingdom and the unique characteristics of archaebacteria, eubacteria, protista, and fungi. Diagrams, graphics, and high-quality color photos enhance learning. Watch out for the final fungi photo; It is disgusting!
Alphabet insects! Who has ever heard of such a thing? Get ready because your class is going to research insects that start with a specific letter of the alphabet. In small groups, they'll use the Internet and reference texts to locate common insects that begin with the assigned letter. Then they are challenged with the task of using insect behavior and physical characteristics to classify all the buggy names they collected during research. This is a great lesson that incorporates several key skill sets and looks like a lot of fun.
Students explore the similarities and differences of animal skulls.
Students compare differences in amino acids in the beta hemoglobin from representative primates, complete a matrix of those differences, and from these data, construct and interpret cladograms as they reflect relationships and timing of divergence.
Three lessons and five assessments are contained in this material. Various paper shapes are sorted as a simulation of biological classification. Learners gather a list of living things that they are familiar with and design a classification system for them. The third instructional activity in the series focuses on the outdated kingdom Monera. As long as you teach the more current name for the bacteria, the culturing and examination in this activity is applicable to the taxonomy theme.
Students compare the different classifications and explore how organisms are grouped. In this classification lesson students study images of organisms and answer questions.
In this classification worksheet, students will look at how biological classification began and how scientific names are used in biology. Students will use a table showing the classification of four organisms to answer 10 short answer questions. This worksheet also contains 6 matching questions and 9 true or false questions.
Learners explore how biological classification is intimately associated with evolution.

Goodspeed's third season brought its first smash success with the premiere of the musical Man of La Mancha.
The production opened its Broadway run on November 22, 1965; the New York Times deemed it "audacious in its conception and tasteful in execution." The musical won five 1966 Tony Awards including Best Musical, beating out Mame and Sweet Charity.
Man of La Mancha enjoyed a six-year run of 2,328 performances and would later return to Broadway in several revivals, including a 1992 production starring Raul Julia and a 2002 revival starring Brian Stokes Mitchell.

The Jurgen Klinsmann era is well underway, and it's sure to set off the church of 4-4-2. The United States appears to be starting in something that resembles a 4-2-3-1 tonight, but don't get too caught up on what exactly it should be called. Whatever it is, it will feature Landon Donovan as something that is definitely not a winger. Attacking midfielder, trequarista, second striker...something along those lines. He'll be operating in that position, behind Jozy Altidore and in front of two central midfielders. Here's the complete lineup.
One of Robbie Rogers or Brek Shea will be cutting in from the wing onto their strong foot, as both are left footed. So, one of them won't be getting to the endline and swinging in crosses. And there won't be two strikers. Every time Taylor Twellman says 4-4-2 during the broadcast, finish your drink!
The midfield of Maurice Edu and Jose Fransisco Torres is much different than the United States has played in the past, and they should make up the classic creator-destroyer combination that most 4-2-3-1 systems utilize. Torres can also tackle and Edu can also pass, so this could be an interesting (and frequently used) midfield pairing for the future.
Timothy Chandler will be starting at right back, and it would be surprising if he didn't lock that spot down with a great performance in this game. He's been fantastic for Nürnburg and Steve Cherundolo, while awesome, is unlikely to be a legitimate option as a starter at the 2014 World Cup. On the other side, Edgar Castillo has some work to do. He's had some flashes of brilliance for both the United States and Club America when he's played recently, and it'll take some great performances to hold off the giant pack of (admittedly flawed) options behind him.
In the center of defense, is it possible that Michael Orozco Fiscal has taken over the reigns for Klinsmann? He was average at best at right back for the Philadelphia Union last season, but he's back in the center of defense for San Luis. He's started three of their five games and they're in great position to qualify for Liguilla in Mexico at the moment.
Is this anywhere near to a first choice team for Klinsmann? Obviously, Clint Dempsey is likely to figure in somewhere in competitive matches, but this could possibly be close to the real thing. It will be very interesting to see who performs tonight, and possibly even more interesting to see who starts and performs well against Belgium next week.
Kickoff of the game is at 11:20 pm ET from the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. Follow along with us at SB Nation throughout the game in this StoryStream.

The newest spectacle on Broadway is at Father Duffy Square, where the 35-year-old TKTS Booth has received a much-needed makeover. The glowing red, 27-step overhang sits 16' above street level and became an immediate sensation when the all-glass booth reopened on October 16 after a two-year renovation, drawing foot traffic to the discount ticketing facility on the West 47th Street median.
International architecture firm Perkins Eastman spearheaded the design, a collaboration of the 40-year-old Theatre Development Fund (TDF), which runs the booth, the Times Square Alliance, and the Coalition for Father Duffy (the soldier-priest, a pastor in the theatre district, is immortalized by a bronze statue that has stood sentinel since 1937). Principal at Perkins Eastman Nick Leahy says the overhaul dates back to 1999, when Australian architecture firm Choi Ropiha prevailed over almost 700 other entrants to win an international ideas competition about remaking the square. "In 2001, TDF decided it needed a new booth," says Leahy, who further developed the winning design for the final product. "I liked that the winning proposal created a truly public space in Times Square, but ours is much different. That was steel frame and fiber-optics; I was interested in an all-glass structure with LED lighting."
Realizing what Leahy calls "the movie from Choi Ropiha's short story" proved a struggle, with expenses and delays that pushed the cost to $19 million. "When I said glass, everyone said, 'You're nuts,' but Tori Bailey, TDF's executive director, really got that it could be a 21st-century landmark. Glass makes it look like the space is floating, different from the visual cacophony that is the rest of Times Square."
ECKELT Glass, a subsidiary of Saint Gobain, fabricated the custom laminated glass. The steps are made of 1½"-thick, triple-laminated glass panels that are 45' wide at the top and taper to 32'. The staircase ends in a cantilevered canopy that protects the ticket buyers below from the elements. The treads are 2' deep; they are staggered and span 25 glass stringers, 28' long, which brace the structure laterally. Panels beneath the steps supply heat to melt snow and cooling for the more than 2,800 linear feet of red Plexineon fixtures supplied by Chicago-based iLight Technologies Inc.
The actual booth, now with credit card capability and a "Plays Only" window, is a huge contrast from its predecessor. "It was two construction trailers, with a few windows," says Leahy. "Now it has 12 windows, a bathroom, and a small lounge where the employees can hang out." Visible through the structure's glass side walls, the booth is housed in a freestanding watertight fiberglass shell that, for acoustic reasons, is separated from the steps and structural supports. Its boat hull-like shape is no accident. "Rhode Island's Merrifield-Roberts, which built America's Cup yachts, understood what this was about," adds Leahy. "We were able to drop the booth, which Kim Roberts designed in four pieces, into place in about six hours." Other team members included Williams Fellows Architects, which designed the plaza, Dewhurst Macfarlane and Partners, iG Innovation Glass, D. Haller, Inc., and DMJM Harris.
The booth unofficially debuted in last year's hit movie I Am Legend, which "finished" the structure for its vision of a ravaged Times Square in the year 2012. "On the one hand, we're struggling to build it for real; on the other, I'm getting calls from the movie asking, 'What color will the millwork be?'" Leahy says. "We were invited to see the Duffy Square set, which was built in this enormous armory in the Bronx, and there was the booth, built, if kind of trashed."
TDF, which also opened a booth in Brooklyn, is confident its Times Square flagship will endure. "Instantly, it became what we always thought it could be," says Bailey. "We don't have a lot of public gathering spaces in New York City, and this one allows you to stop, and look, at Times Square — and maybe get you off the steps and onto the line to buy a ticket for a show."

Men's Basketball Trio Pick up Degrees
FORT MYERS, Fla. - George Erkvania, Kyle Marks, and Derrick O'Neil all picked up their college degrees on Saturday, May 2.
"I have always been proud of our three seniors, but never more so than when I watched all of them walk across the stage and get their diplomas," said Head Coach Dave Balza. "They have been mainstays in our program, and I am sad to see them go, but this was a great day for each of them and their families. Congratulations to George, Kyle & Derrick!"
George Erkvania from Tblisi, Republic of Georgia, Bachelor of Science in Business Management
George, a native of Tbilisi, Georgia Republic, was named to the Georgian National Under-20 team prior to his collegiate career. He came to FGCU after spending a year at Southeastern CC and a year at Pensacola Junior College. He has appeared in 22 games, making a pair of starts. The first start of his FGCU career came at Kansas on Nov. 18, 2008. George's career at FGCU was prematurely cut short by a season ending knee injury just days before the season opener at Michigan State.
Kyle Marks from West Palm Beach, FL, Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice Studies
Kyle came to FGCU after spending two years at the University of Nebraska. He has started 50 of the 59 games in his two years for the Blue and Green. Kyle earned A-Sun All-Academic honors last season, after posting a 4.0 GPA in the spring semester. He has scored over 450 points, grabbed more than 300 rebounds and has blocked more than 70 shots in his FGCU career. Kyle is currently FGCU's leader in blocks in a single season and blocks in a career.
Derrick O'Neil from Moreno Valley, CA, Bachelor of Arts in Communication
Derrick came to FGCU after spending two years at Florida Community College. He has started 50 of the 58 games in his two years for the Blue and Green. Derrick earned A-Sun Player of the Week honors on Dec. 16, 2008. He has scored over 450 points, grabbed more than 350 rebounds and has registered more than 70 steals in his FGCU career. Derrick has been a true warrior for the Eagles during his tenure, playing most of last season with a broken bone in his left hand. Derrick leaves as #2 on FGCU's career rebounding list

The Ship (C+):
+ Easy to Navigate
+ Serenity (Adults Only Pool Area) a Great Upgrade in 2012
+ Cabin (Ext. Balcony) had lots of storage & nice size bathroom. Decor was less than ideal, and we prefer sliding to swinging balcony doors (so you can let some fresh air in!)
- Outdated / Questionable Decor
- Boat had a "shimmy" pretty much all week. Didn't seem to be related to water conditions, etc. Kinda felt like a car that shakes at high speeds!
- Horrible Sports Court
The Staff (A):
+ Friendly, Interactive, Pleasant
+ Friendly, Attentive, & Helpful Room Steward Staff
The Food (B-):
+ Main Dining Room Food & Service Better than Average
+ Nick & Noras Steakhouse Specialty Restaurant EXCELLENT
- Buffet Options, Layout, Hours of Operations Needs Major Improvement
Entertainment (D):
+ Piano Bar (Doug), & DJs very good
- Comedians average at best
- "Big Shows" nothing to write home about
- Least impressive overall entertainment of our 7 cruises to-date
Ports/Itinerary (C):
+ Some family friendly options, e.g. Space Center in Port Canaveral & "All-Inclusives" in Nassau & Freeport
- Nothing really exciting, unless you want to drop some cash to see the Atlantis Resort in Nassau
Embarkation / Disembarkation (A):
+ Arrived after 1pm, & was on the boat in less than 30 minutes
+ Disembarkation was a little behind the published schedule, but no issues with getting breakfast, finding a place to sit & wait, and no issues in getting off / customs ... very smooth
Conclusion / Overall Rating (C):
* Definitely a "get what you pay for" type cruise. It was probably our least expensive trip overall, and we found that the itinerary, the ship, & the entertainment were reflective of the price that we paid
* Highlights: Bar staff, cruise staff, Doug the "piano man", Main Dining Food, & excellent Steakhouse experience
NPS - Would you take this cruise again? NO
NPS - Would you recommend going on this trip to a friend, etc.? NO

He favours lesser know girls to let the clothes do the talking. This season however, Coco Rocha - ELLE's Model of the Year - opened the show. And did the clothes still talk? Without a doubt.
Movement was at the heart of the collection with flowing silks, velvets and chiffons in light pinks, pewter and black. Mr Armani continued the trend he started with his Emporio show by teaming long skirt layers over trousers. Those trousers were cut off at the ankle with a turn-up to show off that erogenous zone.
Before the show began, a film for Armani's Water for Life campaign was played; a charity bringing clean water to those in need. The collection too had a liquid quality through shell discs dripping from jackets and the plexiglass block heels. A young and vibrant show.

Its safe to say that over the course of a lifetime as many of you will swear I have often been wrong.
For instance, when presented with a chance to invest in home water filters 25 years ago because people were supposedly going to start buying bottled water and would eventually want an alternative to plastic bottles, I actually told the guy he was full of beans.
Man, nobodys stupid enough to pay money for water, I said, or something like that.
Around the same time, while living in Gary, Ind., I met several people who knew Gary native Michael Jackson intimately and were willing to dish the dirt. Thats why I proposed to a New York publisher named Sandy that I write a book about him.
Her words, exactly, were: Nobodys interested in a book about Michael Jackson or the Jacksons.
That was about 100 best-sellers ago.
So you see, when it came to predicting business trends, I am a lot like the Kingfish on Amos & Andy, who proclaimed that if he invested in a pumpkin patch, theyd cancel Halloween.
Heres something about which I know Im right, though: the number of people watching baseball, specifically the World Series, will continue to dip like a split-finger fastball if baseball doesnt make some changes.
The ratings for the first three games of the World Series what? You didnt know they were playing, either? have been abysmal. They have been shrinking for the past 35 years.
The consensus, as expressed by TV sports gurus last week, is that people have too many other things on television competing for their attention.
Fiddlesticks. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in what else is on, but within the game itself. In other words, the World Series needs to be fixed and not in the way Shoeless Joe Jackson and the White Sox fixed it.
Baseball has shown that its willing to change, albeit reluctantly. Inter-league play, the designated hitter and wildcard playoff teams were all products of forward thinking.
Bud Selig is fixing to retire as commissioner, so here are some things Ill propose if they select me as his successor.
First, let the players and managers cuss.
Baseballs decision-makers did fans no favor when they decided in recent years that players and managers could no longer argue balls and strikes with the umpire.
Well, darn. That used to be one of the best parts of watching baseball, especially when a combative manager such as Earl Weaver of the Orioles was in the dugout.
Next to seeing a great catch in center field, my favorite part of baseball used to be watching a manager go bonkers when he thought his batter had been rooked on a close call.
If todays managers and players are ejected for arguing a call, what would happen to managers like Weaver and Lou Pinella, who used not only to argue but also to kick dirt on the ump, throw bats and water coolers onto the field or, my favorite, steal a base.
Literally. Dig that sucker up and toss it into the outfield or carry it into the dugout.
Man, I miss that.
The biggest fix that needs to be made, though, is the starting time of games. With World Series games beginning at 8 p.m., some are not over until after midnight. Great title for a song, lousy description for when a baseball game ends.
How are you going to cultivate younger fans grow the audience, in current parlance if many of them are already in dreamland by the time it ends? Game three of this years Series ended on one of the most bizarre plays ever, but its doubtful millions of young kids will be talking about it 40 years hence because it occurred you guessed it after midnight.
On my favorite TV show, Jeopardy, on Friday, Alex Trebek asked who hit the home run to win the 1960 World Series in the bottom of the ninth inning for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Baseball should acknowledge that it has a problem when three of the smartest people on the planet two of them men who appeared to be in their 30s had no idea who hit the second most famous home run in baseball history.
If the sport remains focused solely on the bottom line night World Series games allows the network to charge higher, prime-time rates to advertisers theyre going to earn a few more dollars, yes, but theyre also going to shut out a large segment of baseballs potential fan base. As kids, when the World Series was played in the afternoon, one of our great joys was sneaking a transistor radio into class and listening to the games, then rushing home to see the final three or four innings on television.
Bill Mazeroski is the player who hit that home run for Pittsburgh. It was an afternoon game. Joe Carter of the Toronto Blue Jays hit the second 9th inning, Series-winning homer in 1993 and leapt joyously as he rounded the bases. It was round midnight.
The little kids who mightve been infected with his joy and then grown up to be adult fans were probably asleep.
That is what has put baseball in jeopardy.

Procedure No. 20.002
Date Issued: 11/21/91
Date Effective: 11/30/91
Issued By: Human Resources
Purpose: To define the types of leaves without pay and to provide procedures for obtaining such leave.
The university understands that there may be instances where an employee may need to have time off in order to deal with personal situations. These situations may arise due to illness, military obligation, parental responsibilities, union business, or other personal reasons. It is the responsibility of the employee to request such leave at least two weeks prior to the commencement of the leave. Leave may be granted at the discretion of the university for certain time limits that are outlined in the following sections.
Provisions - Parental Leave
All permanent Employees with the University who become parents through childbirth or adoption shall be granted parental leave upon request.
For the purposes of this policy, the definition of child shall include any natural-born child, legally adopted child, stepchild or a child continually cared for in the home of the regular faculty or staff member in the absence of the child's parents in the home, through the normal age of high school graduation. The definition also includes physically handicapped or mentally retarded children who are incapable of self-sustaining employment regardless of age.
The request for leave should be submitted, in writing to the Personnel Director with a copy to one's immediate supervisor. Except in cases of emergency the request should be received at least two weeks in advance. This notice should indicate the duration of the leave. The faculty or staff member requesting parental leave shall be responsible for providing a satisfactory explanation to support the request for leave. Such leave shall be granted for a period of time not to exceed six months. The employee may request an extension of parental leave for an additional six months as long as the total leave does not exceed 12 months.
In case of childbirth the employee will not be required to leave prior to parental leave unless that employee is unable to perform the assigned job responsibilities.
While the employee is on leave, the responsibilities of the position will be performed by other members of the department or by a substitute employee.
Upon return for the parental leave, the employee has the right to return to the same position in the same classification held before going on parental leave, or to an equivalent position. The employee shall also retain all seniority and pension rights that had accrued up to the time of the leave but these rights shall not accrue during the leave period.
Employees may use accrued sick leave for periods of time that they are unable to work. Employees may use this accrued time before or after the designated parental leave period. While on parental leave, employees shall not earn annual and sick leave while on parental leave.
Provisions - Sick Leave
Policy: Sick leave without pay may be granted to a permanent employee who is too ill to work or must be absent for valid sick-related reasons. This type of leave may be granted because of employee illness or because of the degree of danger the employee presents to him/her self or to other employees. This policy does not apply to work-related injury.
The employee must have a certificate or some other form of identification from a physician as proof of illness. The supervisor will review the documentation and if appropriate will approve the request.
The supervisor will present the request to the Department Head who has the authority to approve the request. The Department Head has the right to approve or disapprove this type of leave for requests of two weeks or less. For requests of at least two consecutive weeks, not to exceed six consecutive months, for illness or disability, the Department Head is required to grant approval.
A department head is not required to approve another sick leave without pay unless 12 months in an active pay status have elapsed since the termination of the last leave.
Upon return for the sick leave without pay, the employee has the right to return to the same position in the same classification held before going on leave, or to an equivalent position. The employee shall also retain all seniority and pension rights that had accrued up to the time of the leave but these rights shall not accrue during the leave period.
Employees shall not be required to use accumulated sick or annual leave prior to commencement of leave without pay.
Provisions - Military Leave
Permanent employees who leave their jobs for the purpose of entering, voluntarily or involuntarily, any branch of the Armed Forces, the Reserves, or the National Guard for the purpose of training or service shall be granted leave without pay.
Remaining employees or temporary substitute employees will perform the work of the employee during the time of absence.
A leave of absence shall be granted for all active military service. This leave shall cover duty served up to a maximum of forty-eight (48) consecutive calendar months, except that an extension of 12 months may be granted if the extension is at the request and the convenience of the government. For Reservists and members of the National Guard, leave without pay shall be granted for initial active duty for training and for other military training duty.
The leave without pay shall expire for all active duty employees, 90 days after the release from active duty, unless there was an injury sustained. In the case of injury, the leave will expire 90 days after the release date from the hospital providing that the hospital stay is not more than a year after the release from active duty.
Leave without pay expires for Reservists and members of the National Guard 31 days after initial active duty for training and the next regularly scheduled work day after release from other military training duty.
Upon return to the university, the employee will be given credit for the duration of the leave in determining the amount of continuous service for purposes of vacation, sick pay, and tuition assistance eligibility. The employee also has the right to return to the same position in the same classification held before going on leave, or to an equivalent position. The employee shall retain all seniority and pension rights that had accrued up to the time of the leave but these rights shall not accrue during the leave period.
Provisions - Union Leave
In order to attend to union business, the employee may be granted a leave of absence without pay, at the discretion of the university, for a period not to exceed two years. The business is defined as serving as a union officer, or attending union meetings, conventions or functions.
Union officials shall be granted up to six weeks leave to attend conventions or meetings. This leave is granted based on the university's ability to maintain efficient operations.
An employee who is elected or appointed as a union official, may request a leave of absence without pay. The request will be made in writing and should not exceed the length of the term in office up to three years maximum. This request should be submitted to the employees immediate supervisor three days after being elected or appointed as a union official. The supervisor will then notify the Department Head who will review the request and pass on approved requests to the Human Resources Department Head who will review the request and pass on approved requests to the Human Resources Office for processing. This request may be renewed upon mutual consent of the union and the employer.
Provisions - Educational Leave
Once an employee has completed one year of service he/she may be granted leave without pay for educational purposes. The duration of the leave shall not exceed one year and shall not be granted more than once every four years.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Sail your way through the picturesque Copenhagen Harbor - Taste your way through Danish Smoerrebroed - and visit the "Hidden Gem" - The Royal Café.
After a short transfer into town you will start your guided walking tour at the Royal Palace Amalienborg. The palace consists of four equal palaces surrounding the octagonal square. Many celebrations take place here - one of the biggest being the Queen's birthday in April, when the square is packed with people singing birthday songs and waving their flags while waiting to catch a glimpse of the Queen stepping out on the balcony.
The palace creates a line going from east to west. On the eastern end - on the other side of harbor, you will see the newly built Opera House - on the opposing side, the Marble Church, which holds one of the biggest domes in Europe; however, not to compete with St. Paul's.
Kings Square and Nyhavn lie side-by-side with Nyhavn being famous for its many restaurants, pubs and bars. On warm summer days it's a great place to go for a beer! Meanwhile, in the canal you will see many wooden ships, many of them lovingly restored.
Your walk along Stroeget - one of the longest pedestrian streets in the world, will bring you to the "Hidden Gem". It you didn't know the café was here, you would probably never find it, as it has been hidden away in one of the historical backyards on Amager Square - behind the Royal Porcelain factory store. Here, you will get the opportunity to taste the Danish Smoerrebroed; however, with a twist. Served as what the Danes call "Smushi", it consist of rye bread or other bread types topped with sliced beef, fish or other Danish specialties, just like the Danish "Smoerrebroed", just in smaller pieces. The "Smushi" will be served with either a glass of wine or a beer. Aside from the "Smushi", the Royal Café is an experience itself with its very artistic décor and it's small shop that sells funny and odd items plus cups, books, postcards, etc.
Leaving the café, it's a short walk over to the lively "Hoejbro Square", which is where many of the pedestrian streets in Copenhagen meet. From here, you will have beautiful views of Christiansborg - which houses the Royal Reception Rooms as well as the Danish Parliament. Then it's on to Gammel Strand where you will embark a Canal boat for a cruise through the Copenhagen Harbor as well as the Canals of Christianshavn. During the cruise you will see many of Copenhagen's famous buildings, such as the Old Stock Exchange, and The Black Diamond that houses the Royal Library. Further down the harbor, you will pass the newly built Opera House, right at the waterfront facing the Royal Palace. Before your boat tour concludes, you will also pass by Copenhagen's most well-known lady - The Little Mermaid. Following your boat tour, you'll be transferred directly back to the cruise ship pier.
Please note: This tour includes a significant amount of walking that includes cobblestone surfaces, inclines and steps. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests or those with mobility concerns. Weather appropriate clothing; sun cap; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended. In the event of extremely high tide, the canal cruise might be re-routed. The tour may be operated in reverse order.

Some tours are capacity controlled and may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Tour departure times are subject to change so please reference your actual tour ticket for the correct departure time.

Review submitted: February 27, 2012 Date of arrival: February 17, 2012
The property was as advertised and more. Perfect location - could not ask for more. HOWEVER - we were shocked at the cleanliness of the unit. The bathrooms were clean however the rest had some issues ie; wet smelly towelss were left in the dryer, the kitchen table still had food on it, place mats in the drawer had actual lumps of food imbedded. The towels in the bedroom walkin closet were not stacked neatly but were literally thrown all over the place. In the living room none of the lights worked, we had to purchase lught bulbs ourselves. There was a can of carpet clean under the sink so my wife got down on her hands and knees to try and removes the worst stains. THAT SAID, all these issues I believe are issue with the cleaning crew. They simply are not doing the job they are paid for. WOULD WE RETURN - ABSOLUTELY - I am sure once the problem is adressed the unit would be A+++
Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway
Owners response:
I have had a serious discussion with the owner of my cleaning service (Home Cleaning Centers of America) and he assures me that the manager of his crew will be put on notice that if there are any more comments of this nature that she might have to find herself a new job. He extends his apologies for the unfortunate experience you might have had. Also, if you do decide to return in the future he will not charge you a cleaning fee.

Dirty and Infested with Rodents
Review submitted: October 25, 2010 Date of arrival: October 3, 2010
" This place is a dump!!! It was old and not kept up!! The carpet was stained and not shampooed in forever. There was garbage and food under the beds, there were stains on the walls and on the baseboards. My husband chased crickets around the condo the first night and was plugging holes in the floor where they were entering. Not only were there several crickets living in the place but there was an infestation of ants. There were boxes of cereal in the cupboards, a broken glass in the dishwasher, dirty dishes. The appliances( washer and dryer were ancient) and the microwave handle was held together with duct tape. We had originally rented the condo for 10 days but left after day 2 because of the horrible conditions. We called the owner regarding the above issues and he told us to deal with the rodents because they were part of visiting the desert.

Your geraniums are at peak bloom and you heard somewhere you could store them overwinter – but you are wondering how?
Many of you may remember mom or grandma placing their geraniums in a paper bag in a cool dark corner of the basement for winter. It seemed she always had great luck reviving them in spring. Unfortunately, most of us have warm basements that make this method the least successful.
You can bring potted plants indoors and grow them like houseplants. Unfortunately unwanted pests may hitch a ride in with the plants. Isolate the plants in a sunny location for several weeks and monitor for pests. If an insect problem is present, make several applications of an eco-friendly insecticide.
A preferable option would be to take cuttings from healthy plants. Remove any flowers and buds and root 4-6 inch cuttings in moist vermiculite or a well-drained potting mix. Pot up the rooted cuttings and grow them like a houseplant in a sunny window.
Try overwintering other annuals. Fuchsias have been known to last several years when wintered indoors. Annual vinca, coleus, scented geraniums, cuphea, mandevilla, and candy corn plants are just a few to try. Grow these in a sunny window and enjoy a bit of extra greenery, and flowers if you are lucky, throughout the winter.
