Florida Keys. Just the mention of the name brings to memory a glorious history of romance and intrigue. Do you remember Edward G. Robinson and Humphrey Bogart challenging each other's wits while a hurricane pounded the house shutters in Key Largo[[ital]]? And those stories of Ernest Hemingway sleeping it off in the back room at Sloppy Joe's in Key West?
The Keys also remind us of Jimmy Buffett, margaritas and legendary guide Jimmie Albright, who tied the first Albright knot in Islamorada before shoving off to fish with his buddy - baseball great Ted Williams.
Ah yes, the fishing: Though some may dispute it, the Florida Keys offer more variety and more world-class angling opportunities than just about anywhere else on the planet. But the Keys have changed; their reputation for being a place to drop in and drop out is slowly fading.
I'm not a native Conch, but I've lived in the Keys long enough to see this evolution. This 128-mile stretch of coral reef and bridges used to represent refuge from a world that didn't accept idyllic ideas - a place for flip-flops, tiki bars, great fishing and zero stress. During the past two decades, expensive resorts, private marinas and exploding tourism have replaced mom-and-pop motels, roadside restaurants and laid-back residents.
Gone are such landmarks as Papa Joe's in Islamorada, replaced by high-end restaurants such as Pierre's and Morada Bay. Small bait-and-tackle shops have lost ground to fishing-specialty and big-box stores such as the enormous (and enormously popular) Worldwide Sportsman. Small Keys cottages have given way to expensive condos and waterfront homes. Wealthy fishermen and land developers are buying out the early Keys settlers, making them profitable offers they can't refuse. Even with declining real-estate prices, the Florida Keys is still an expensive place to live.
People Pressure
A few years ago, I sat down next to a man at a bar in Key West. It was hot, yet he wore a lot of hair stacked under a knit cap. He was eating a cheeseburger. (What else in Key West?)
"How's the fishing," I asked. Boy, that turned on the spigot.
"What fishing?" he exclaimed. "I can't afford to fish here anymore. "Not like the old days when I could fish anywhere. Everything was cheap. Now it's all big boats and big money."
I wanted to remind him that the fishing in the Keys was too good to keep secret, but what he said had a good dose of truth in it. Fishing has become big business in the Keys, and it keeps changing every year.
I can recall a lunch years ago with the late Cecil Keith, one of the guides who helped bring fly-fishing to the flats. Keith had a guide's license for more than 50 years, dating back to the 1940s.
"In those days," Keith said, "my boat was a 16-footer with a 5 hp outboard motor. We never had to go far from the dock because fish, especially bonefish, were everywhere.
"Lots of people think saltwater fly-fishing is something new, but I started fly-fishing for tarpon in the early 1950s. We used freshwater flies because no one ever heard of saltwater flies, and we would bust six or seven bamboo fly rods, jumping 30 or 40 tarpon in one afternoon. Fly rods only cost $20 in those days.
"Today's pressure is too hard on the fish, and it's going to get worse," he said. "Too many boats running over the flats. People retire down here, buy a boat and run over everything."
I like the modern safe and stable flats boats, but Keith's words made a lot of sense. With a 5 hp outboard, a guide couldn't cover much water, so a lot of fish could safely hide in the great expanses of Florida Bay.
Not today. I've watched fishermen leave the dock with 16- and 18-footers rigged with big 150 and 200 hp motors. They can make the 24-mile run at 35 mph from Islamorada to Flamingo in less than an hour. In the 1950s, most of that water was virtually unexplored. In Cecil Keith's days, no guide could cover that much water.
Richard Stanczyk, who has owned and operated Bud N' Mary's Fishing Marina in Islamorada for more than 30 years, agrees with Keith about the old days. "Bonefish and tarpon were everywhere when I bought [the marina] back in 1978. There was a time when you were the only boat out there," Stanczyk reminisces, "and thousands of tarpon came right at you. Today, there would be 40 boats in the same area. There are only 10 percent of the bonefish here today as there were 20 years ago."
Overfishing has hurt some species, he adds, especially fish such as groupers and snappers. And GPS probably has played a major role in decreasing fish populations.
While most locals would agree that Islamorada is not what it used to be, here's the irony: If you've never been there before, you'd say the fishing is great. "There's no other place on earth where you can catch such a variety of fish. It's the most unique place in the world," Stanczyk says.
Stanczyk also believes that declining water quality contributes to Keys' fishing issues. Pollutants flow south from Miami and other mainland cities through the Everglades, into Florida Bay and eventually into the Keys.
This scenario could change with the pending sale of U.S. Sugar's 181,000 acres of land to the state for Everglades' restoration. However, at press time, Gov. Charlie Crist had scaled back the purchase by more than half because of the frail economy.

So yeah, here are some near shocking casting updates, both of which are surprising for various reasons....
First, it turns out that Shailene Woodley isn't just being bumped from "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" -- she's out of the franchise entirely. WTF. Indeed, hot on the heels of the news that her character, Mary Jane Watson was having her scenes removed from the super sequel, THR reports that when "The Amazing Spider-Man 3" rolls around, "It is likely that Woodley will not return and that the part will be recast." Great work everyone!
Why it makes sense in anyone's mind to let go of a rising actress like Woodley, who has the award-winning "The Spectacular Now" coming later this summer and her own franchise with "Divergent" next year, is beyond us (though maybe some studio types were worried about her appearing in two big blockbusters for rival companies). But the official line being given by director Marc Webb is that they want to simplify the plot. No, really.
"I made a creative decision to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship," Webb said in a statement. "Shailene is an incredibly talented actress and while we only shot a few scenes with Mary Jane, we all love working with her." Granted, she only worked a few days on the movie, apparently, but you don't hire an actress of her quality without larger plans in mind. Like everything else that's going on in this series (which includes multiple characters being added -- so much for streamlining), decisions seems to be happening in a run-and-gun manner. Anyway, let the speculation on Mary Jane Watson begin...again....
Meanwhile, remember when Sandra Bullock was close to signing to play the mean Miss Hanningan in the "Annie" remake? Well, The Wrap reports it ain't happening, as talks fell through. So we'll just have to wait and see who Will Smith and Jay-Z get instead for their redo starring Quvenzhané Wallis and Jamie Foxx.
sagevalentine | June 21, 2013 3:09 PM
Why is Sandra out of Annie? That sucks.
I can understand that this is an issue as far as scheduling for Shailene but, damn to cut her out completely. That sucks even more.
Who is Sarah Gadon?
FS | June 20, 2013 2:20 PM
As a note, TASM 2 seems to have it's plot plate full, so losing a Mary Jane storyline may very well be a smart move. With 2 main villain stories (the Rhino and Electro), a villain-in-the-making (Harry Osborn), and the existing Gwen Stacy story line to juggle, do we really need more in a 2-2.5 hr movie?
Jake | June 19, 2013 6:33 PM
So it made sense to have Mary Jane already established in Peter's life if they plan to kill Gwen at the end/start of the second, now they'll just have to establish a whole new relationship when he has to pick up the pieces, which could get messier. But then again they did just put the kibbosh on this go round being 3 parts when they announced a fourth one, so they have more time to build that up. I like Woodley a lot, but her age shows against the older 'young' cast members so perhaps it will work out in the end, even if the origin of all this is pretty weird.
rodie | June 19, 2013 6:24 PM
Look, Back to the Future switched its LEAD actor after like 6 weeks of shooting, and that turned out fine. I'm sure Mary Jane was a small subplot in this movie anyway. Getting rid of her and saving the character for part 3 is a great indication that they are streamlining this story. I'm actually more interested to see it now.
Jordan | June 19, 2013 5:10 PM
Woodley is one of the best young actresses out there. Do not understand this at all! We all know the fate Gwen's heading to. So, what happened? Felicity Jones' character will be the new love interest?!
ska-triumph | June 19, 2013 4:18 PM
So.... the studio quickly announces plans for TWO more movies and don't bother to lock in their MARY JANE actor? So one (overly convenient) female lead - again. This "streamlining" is BS. Wasn't one of the problems with Raimi's SM3 was that there were two many villains, and there's FOUR lined up for TASM 2? Yeah okay. Their loss.
oogle monster | June 19, 2013 4:13 PM
But really... who wanted this franchise to succeed? TASM was complete shit save for Emma Stone's charm and screen presence. I don't know WHY the studio greenlight 3 & 4 but so many other films can't even find $$.
Marko | June 19, 2013 4:04 PM
I'm still confused as to how THR suddenly comes to the conclusion that the role is being recasted in the next film.
Real | June 19, 2013 3:45 PM
And nothing of value was lost...
I thought it was kind of a stupid idea to have MJ in the second movie anyway. Even if there is no attraction/romance between them it belittles the Gwen/Peter relationship in its own movie to have MJ featured in the background when everyone knows their future together while at the same time selling the big romance between Gwen and Peter.
a guy named joe | June 19, 2013 3:36 PM
Wait a sec... They kicked Woodley out of Spider-Man 2 midway during shooting? Are you serious? I've heard of actors being left on the editing room floor, but getting rid of a character during shooting seems like a pretty cheesy move, regardless of how you spin it.
kitcon | June 19, 2013 3:32 PM
The Spider-man - Gwen Stacy scenes were the best part of TASM. If this decision means they're sticking with that love story til the end that's fine w/ me
bapi | June 19, 2013 3:28 PM
It's like with Peter's different origin in TASM... Fans hate that / her and Sony is scared.
Mr Anonymous | June 19, 2013 3:26 PM
Wow, this just gets better and better.
This is going to be a collosal fuck-up on a grand scale. Mark my words! Another Spiderman 3 disaster on the horizon. Can't wait to hear what else they've fucked up.
Chris | June 19, 2013 3:15 PM
I hope those horrible fanboys who said Woodley wasn't pretty enough to play MJ had no influence on this.

Singer delivers insight on advances in military and civilian technology and their implications on shaping conflict
Friday, January 18, 2013
At Lesley University's Boston Speakers Series lecture on January 16, preeminent warfare and foreign policy expert Peter Warren Singer delivered a thought-provoking, if sometimes chilling, overview of advances in military and civilian technology, and the implications these advances have on near and long-term projections for how technology will shape our conflicts.
"Technology is becoming easier to operate," Singer explained. "You don't need to learn a new language or be a trained operator anymore. In many cases all you need is a new app on your iPhone, and you can do things as complicated as piloting a drone."
This new era of technology-driven warfare is the topic of Singer's latest book, Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and 21st Century Conflict, which examines the implications of robotics and other new technologies for war, politics, ethics, and law in the 21st century. These were topics that he discussed during his presentation at Boston's Symphony Hall before a full house that was captivated both by his remarks and by the engaging slide and video presentation he used to illustrate his points.
Singer's approach is equally focused on the future of warfare and the history of conflicts and technology, and he uses this approach to examine not only the technology we use to fight, but also the societal and ethical implications of those uses. For example, Singer points out that while the use of drones in areas of conflict is in its relative infancy, in the very near future – 2015 – drones will be legal for domestic use, opening a Pandora's box for drone use in not only local and state law enforcement, but for civilian use by anyone who can purchase and operate the technology.
In addition to unforeseen increasing domestic use, drones have also had a significant impact on how the U.S. population considers its relationship with the conflicts their country is engaged in, and has allowed the government nearly unfettered permission to use force, something which formerly was highly regulated and which the general voting population had a much closer relationship with in the past.
"The U.S. military had only a handful of unarmed drones and no armed robotics on the ground when we went into Afghanistan," Singer noted. "Today we have 8,000 in the air and 12,000 on the ground, many of them armed. Last year U.S. Air force trained more unmanned systems operators than it trained manned bomber pilots and manned fighter pilots combined."
And as Singer points out, the use of new technologies in warfare is increasing exponentially alongside technological advances in the civilian sector. If advances in technology continue at their current and projected rate, we'll see technology in 25 years that is many millions of times more powerful than what we are working with today, a prospect that raises numerous important questions about conflict, warfare and violence as our relationship with it and with the technology that is used in its name advances.
Dr. Singer is a Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. Acclaimed as one of the world's leading experts on changes in 21st century warfare, he has authored three books, advised the President, the Defense Department, the FBI, and the Congress, as well as the movie, television and video game industries. He has provided commentary on military issues for nearly every major TV and radio outlet, and he serves as a columnist for the Armed Forces Journal.
On February 20, Lesley's next Boston Speakers Series event welcomes Erskine Bowles, Co-Chairman of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. Along with Sen. Alan Simpson, he was named by President Obama to co-chair the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, commonly referred to as Bowles-Simpson. His former posts have included president of the University of North Carolina system, White House Chief of Staff to President Clinton, and administrator of the Small Business Administration.

11oz bottle, enjoy by 1/29/12. Pours a slightly hazy copper amber with a small rocky off white head that retains well and leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is sweet toasted malts with some vegetal notes.
The flavor is sweet toasted malts with some balancing bitterness in the finish. I get some off plasticky notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, I didn't really care for it. Some off notes and I don't care for toasted ambers like Fat Tire.

11 ounce stubby-twist off cap w/"Naughty/Nice" on it-Best before dating (1-7-12)...
Pours clear auburn amber, medium tan head, showing moderate retentive powers, then leaving a thicker film, collar and respectable slippery lacing.
Dark grain bread in the nose with some nuttyness.
Tasty and straight forward offering. More dark bread notes, malty sweetness, a pinch of all spice, a rye note and light dryness in the finish. Ehh....decent litle sessioner...but doesnt really do much for me.

Really pretty reddish hued color to this one, nice thin off white head to it. Aroma was half and half sweet and grassy hopishness. Not bad, a good mix in a red ale.
Smooth taste, with more of the fresh hoppy feel to it, not ipa territory, but substantial enough to make it enjoyable, especially at the price. Easily the best option out of the session beers. But 6.2% = a session beer? I'm ok with that I guess, but its a little close to not being sessionable, but it hides the alcohol. Faint chocolate malt aspect to it. Chalky and nutty sometimes.
If this is an oktoberfest effort, its definitely above average.
Thanks to elrogish & Quinn for breaking these bad boys out during our cabin barleywine trip. Solid beer.

11oz bottle poured into a snifter. Best before 01/21/12 date on bottle.
A: Pours a clear orangish red with a 1 finger white head that has slight hints of yellow. The head thins down to a film after a few minutes. Even though the beer is real clear there is no visible carbonation.
S: Grassy hops and malts hit the nose at first. Some bready wheat and yeast. Some citrus hops and hints of alcohol. Mostly malt dominates at this point reminding me of a dunkel.
T: Good lager taste, mostly malt with some hops chiming in at the end. Yeasty malty aftertaste. Remember it having more hops when it was fresher.
M: This beer is a little flat at this point. Light bodied and real easy to kick back. 6.2% is well hidden.
Overall a nice addition to the session lineup. Not as dramatic as the Session black but still pleasant. Great deal when a 12pack was 8bucks.

From the retro stubby bottle with the entertaining rock paper scissors cap, which by the way has a holiday theme.Into a pilsner glass results in a pretty medium dark amber body with nice clarity a small head forms then settles into a thin cap. Bubbles continuously rise up keeping things lively, very appealing.
Aroma is a subdued huskiness with a ever so slight hop note, just what a lager should be.
Taste is pure lager, grain husk, cracker with a tint of caramel, finish has a nice bitter spiciness to it, refreshing straight forward and uncomplicated. goes down easy and quickly with a nice clean aftertaste.
Just a nice well made lager that hits all the right spots, especially the pocketbook. A real value.
Bravo Full Sail!

Full Sail Session Fest
11 oz. "stubby" bottle; clearly marked freshness date.
$1.27 @ State Line Liquors, Elkton, MD
Appearance: Clear, dark copper colored body. Frothy one-finger thick head of off-white. Good retention; decent lacing.
Smell: Surprisingly limited, offering only a bit of maltiness touched by minor, non-descript hops.
Taste: Rich, caramel and toasty maltiness infused with spicy and grassy hops. It's balanced by a solid bitterness, and only a touch of sweetness comes through. Short lingering aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and gently crisp.
Overall: Remarkably drinkable.

Thin head, dark amber colored body, clear.
Smells like licorice, barnyard hay and strawberry. A weird combination, but it's nice.
Taste has a solid malt bill with a balance of medium bitterness. Roasted malt stands out with a barnyard straw flavor.
Crisp and lighter bodied, but the high carbonation takes away a bit.
An excellent red lager.

Pours a nice shiny copper color with just a bit of haze. Little bit of eggshell colored head makes a brief appearance.
Toasted grain and slight caramel sweetness provide a nice malty aroma. Hint of floral hop character in the background.
Biscuits and toast alongside some caramel malty goodness make for a nice refreshing brew. Hops add just a bit to balance things out. Mouthfeel is light, crisp, and refreshing.
Overall, not a bad easy drinking beer. Flavors don't exactly 'wow' you with anything but it's still got enough going on to keep things interesting.

Appearance: (3.0)
- Pours a clear dark copper brew.. quickly dissipating white foamy head.. leaves some light dust and a small ring in the glass. Overall a simple look.
Smell: (3.5)
- First thing that hits the nose is Full Sails traditional yeast aroma.. a grainy, bready, earthy dry malt. A touch of light caramel sweetness, spice, and molasses. Earthy grassy hops, and a light pine flare.
Taste: (4.0)
- Wonderful Full Sail character.. they do brew a one-of-a-kind character-filled beer. Great grainy and bready malt, big meaty yeast, light spice to balance.. perhaps some sweet caramel, molasses, and allspice.. but light enough to only balance the beer, and creat a solid flavor. Light bitter grassy hops, and not too much at all in the aroma department. Very solid flavor.
Mouth Feel: (3.5)
- Light to medium bodied brew which is bubbly, and typical of Full Sails brewing yeast. Not overly creamy, though there is a slight thickness to this session beer. It's a touch dry which I like, and rather chewy which is a standard for them.
Overall: (3.0)
- It's a solid drinker. A sessionable beer? Perhaps for the cool holiday's yes, but I can see this recipe as more of a marketing ploy. If it were bottled in 6-packs and sold for more, I doubt it would do as well as it is as a new session series. The flavor is very good, but the rest falls short. I am more keen to the likes of their latest imperial IPA, because that beer didn't taste like the rest of theirs. This one does.

Pours a nice reddish brown with a frothy off white head that sticks around. Smell is mostly malt with some yeast and subtle spice notes. The taste starts with the malt and moves into the yeast, and has a nice subtle spice finish. The aftertaste has some of the malty notes with a subtle sweetness. A nice medium mouthfeel adds the the depth of the beer, giving a thicker style. Nice carbonation and an easy drinker. These session beers are solid beers, all with subtle nuances and great flavor. Nothing huge and over the top but done right.

Little grenade bottle poured into my HotD goblet... okay 1/2 inch white head drops very quickly.. but the brew is very pretty deep orange amber/copper... nice... only okay lacing.. but the retention is pretty proper.
Nose shows great toasty malt.. heavy for a "festbier" grassy hops.. but are very pleasant on the West Coast..
Flavor mirrors the nose with a substantial biscuit quality that is hard to walk away from... bready without ever verging on "sweet", instead the malts are pretty dry and have some lite caramel essence... big dry toast....
Very nice from front to back... it is easy to see the folks at Full Sail put some time into this one... nicely done for sure...
Glad I had the chance to try this one early in the release... Thanks Matt!!!

Original Session and Session Black are definite repeaters in my beer rotation, so it was natural to pick up this mini case when I saw it this holiday season.
Session Fest pours a semi-cloudy dark amber color with some golden highlights. Not much of a head that fades quickly and leaves no lace.
A lot of malts to smell. A mix of sweet malts, bready and even some roast. Bready maybe the most. I'm also noticing some pilsner-like grassy hops.
Flavors are well blended diversity of malts that have enough oomph to keep up with the color and medium body of this beer. Not as full flavored as a lot of amber ales, but good and adequate for a red lager. Just a twinge of bitterness on the otherwise fairly short and clean finish.
Not sure yet if I'll repeat this next holiday season. The other Session brethren knocked it out of the park in my opinion, but this one fell a little short of the high standard set.

Vesco Ridge Vineyard adds new space
INGRAHAM — From vine to wine, the views are fine.
Nancy and Dan Vesco of Vesco Ridge Vineyards have a new winery and tasting room that sits atop its namesake ridge in the Town of Chazy hamlet of Ingraham.
Biz News Ink
Measuring about 1,800 square feet, it is almost double the size of the previous one. The tasting room features a long counter, tile floors, hardwood ceiling and scenic views of the surrounding lands, including the 500-vine vineyard.
"It's amazing how fast this has grown," Dan said.
When they built their previous home, he took the opportunity to install a wine rack in the basement. He then started making wine from kits in 2006.
That soon expanded, as he began to use local grapes to make his own wine. The Vescos then decided to take the operation commercial and received a license to have a farm winery in 2010, which allows them to sell wine by the glass or bottle.
At the time, the full-scale wine-making operation was in the basement, and a spare room was converted to a tasting room.
They started to build the new winery in 2012 and completed that work earlier this year. They plan to add a small deck so visitors can have space to relax with a glass or bottle of wine.
Two of the Vesco Ridge wines won awards at the 2013 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition: Dan's 2011 Farm Truck Red and 2011 Diamond, a white wine.
He harvested the first grapes from the on-site vines last year, with the first wine available from them next year.
The Vescos are hosting a grand re-opening from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday. The vineyard is located at 167 Stratton Hill Road, off Route 9.
The event will feature free wine tastings as well as wine cupcakes by Karen Davis of Kreative Konfectionz and chocolates and chocolate sangria from Mimi Dixon of Dove Chocolate Discoveries.
"I'm kind of anxious to taste that," Nancy said of the latter.
Speedy Arnold will provide entertainment and be available to sign copies of his new children's book, "What's an Elephant Doing in the AuSable River?"
Vesco Ridge is on the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail, recently approved by the State Legislature.
Dan said they are waiting for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to sign the legislation, which will allow the member vineyards to get State Department of Transportation approval for signs along the region's roads.
The vineyard is also part of the Adirondack Coast Summer Wine Tour, scheduled for Aug. 10 and 11.
Other participants include Stonehouse Vineyard in Mooers, Hid-in-Pines in Morrisonville, Elf's Farm Winery and Cider Mill in Plattsburgh, Champlain Wine Co. in Plattsburgh, Amazing Grace Vineyard and Winery in Chazy and Everett Orchards in Peru.

Questions about AOL billing
Questions about AOL billing
Welcome to the family! If you subscribe to one of our paid services, then you are an official AOL member.
When we bill
We bill all members once a month on their billing dates (the monthly anniversary of when you began your AOL subscription) for the next month's service. Which means if your billing date is Aug. 3, that's the day we'll bill you for the month of September.
What's great is when you sign up for one of our premium services, such as AOL with Cable or AOL with DSL, you can start using the service that same day, without having to pay up front. We won't bill you for that partial month until the following month's bill. After that initial bill, you can expect to see normal monthly cable or DSL charges.
Identify your AOL service charge on your financial statement
Don't panic if your first bill shows a charge that seems to be twice as much as it should. Even though there will be a prorated charge (for the month you signed up) and a normal charge for the next month's service, the charges will be combined on your statement and billed as a single amount.
View your AOL bill online
If you want to make sure the charge you see on your statement is correct, you can see a detailed billing statement with individual charges at My Account. If you purchase any additional AOL services or accrue any connection surcharges, those charges will appear here, too.
Taxes on your statement
Surprised to see taxes on your statement? We're only doing what we're told. As of Nov. 1, 2007, after the Federal Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act stopped preventing states and localities from charging taxes on your subscription fees for AOL services, we began collecting those taxes in accordance with state and local laws.

411's Fighter of the Month 12.10.12: November
Posted by
Larry Csonka
on 12.10.2012
George St. Pierre returned and defended his UFC Welterweight Title, Johny Hendricks destroyed Martin Kampmann and more! But who won 411's Fighter of the Month? Check out the full article to find out!
How It Works
Each staff member picks five fighters and ranks them. I'll assign a point value to those rankings. Points are determined as:
1st - 5
2nd - 4
3rd - 3
4th - 2
5th - 1
The fighter with the most points is our Fighter of the Month and then new points are assigned that will go towards Fighter of the Year. Those points are:
1st - 15
2nd - 12
3rd - 9
4th - 6
5th - 3
6th – 1
The Voting
Larry Csonka
Johny Hendricks
Destroyed Martin Kampmann and proved that he is the real #1 contender for the WW title. The only person that should have fought GSP before Hendricks was Anderson Silva, unfortunately the UFC is going through with this Nick Diaz bullshit. I mean, Hendricks only won his last five fights, while Diaz lost his last and served a commission suspension. It makes sense to Uncle Dana.
George St. Pierre
: George St. Pierre returned from his ACL injury and pretty much picked up right where he left off. Dominating an opponent for five rounds and retaining his title via decision.
Tyrone Spong
: Many people were hyped for the MMA debut of Tyrone Spong and for good reason. He looked like a complete beast knocking out Travis Bartlett at the WSF1 event. I can't wait to see his next MMA fight.
Richard Hale
: Richard Hale defeated Thiago Santos at Bellator 79 via TKO. Santos was winning the fight, but once Hale weathered the storm and knocked out a tooth, Santos did his best Bob Sap impersonation and bailed on the fight.
Cung Le
: Knocked Rich Franklin the FUCK out in the main event of UFC on FUEL TV 6.
Jeffrey Harris
George St. Pierre
GSP was coming off a layoff where he hadn't been in the Octagon for over a year and a half. And he was going in against the interim UFC champion and former welterweight champion Carlos Condit, who had never lost a title fight in his career. Coming back from a bad knee injury, GSP got back to his old self and dominated the fate to get the victory over Condit. Condit brought the fight to GSP and connected with a solid head kick that put GSP to the mat. Showing just how good and tough he is and that he has the heart of a true champion, GSP rallied back and recover and still walked away with the W.
Johny Hendricks
: Hendricks put together another amazing highlight reel knockout over tough welterweight gamer Martin Kampmann. Kampmann has come back from some rough beatings before, so it was extremely impressive how Hendricks used his patented left hand to once again knock out a guy in almost the exact same fashion he did Jon Fitch. Hendricks is in a position now where he is arguably the top contender at welterweight right now. But unfortunately due to matchmaking, he might not be able to get that shot for a while.
Joe Warren
: Joe Warren is a true champion. He's got the heart of a lion and he's the baddest man on the planet. Warren had suffered back-to-back losses against Alexis Vila and Pat Curran, the latter of which saw him lose his Bellator featherweight title. But just like the Chumba Wumba song Tubthumping, you may knock him down but he will get up again and you will never keep him down. Owen Evinger talked a big game going into this fight. He thought he could just touch Warren's chin and knock him out. That wasn't the case. Warren came back and dominated the fight and got back to his winning ways officially putting the rest of Bellator and all the pretenders and poseurs on notice.
Cung Le
: UFC's first ever show in China featured a successful showing by Cung Le in the main event getting a quick knockout against former middleweight ace Rich Franklin. Honestly this was the opposite result I expected since Cung Le was overcoming a foot injury and it was a five round fight. Le looked incredibly patient and took his time before he dropped and finished Franklin. It looks like this old dog still has some tricks.
Marlon Moraes
: Moraes likely wasn't the favorite going into his fight against former bantamweight king Miguel Torres at the first ever World Series of Fighting event, but he proved his salt by bringing the fight to the former champion. The fight was surprisingly contested on the feet where Moraes had the advantage and totally outworked Torres. Moraes now gets to build his name on a big stage with a solid showing and win over Torres.
Jonathan Solomon
Johny Hendricks
Sure, he may not get first dibs at GSP because the UFC/Georges want the bigger money fight with Nick Diaz, but you can't have a better performance than Hendricks did against Martin Kampmann. Over the past year, he has knocked out Jon Fitch in seconds, he bested Josh Koscheck to a decision and he knocked out Kampmann in seconds. He has turned into a fighter you MUST go out of your way to watch because he's putting top guys down on a consistent basis like few others.
Georges St. Pierre
: Give the man credit, GSP bounced back from his ACL injury and looked as good as ever against Carlos Condit. Plus, we saw him take a huge head kick but he persevered and did not let it stop him. St. Pierre looked bigger and stronger and with two big fights in the near future (possibly) against Nick Diaz and Anderson Silva, show him the money!
Marcin Held
: He earned a spot in the finals of the lightweight tournament by submitting Rich Clementi with a vicious toe hold. It was a back-and-forth two-round fight that was all action. Check out highlights if you can find them, you won't be sorry.
Rich Hale
: In the heavyweight semifinal, Rich was
close to being finished by Thiago "Watch Your Grapefruits" Santos, only to recuperate and be the one winning by knockout. He's usually giving up so much size because he's a tall heavyweight who could fight at light heavyweight (but he enjoys his food too much). Even so, he retains his power and is now up against Alex Volkov to become the second Bellator heavyweight champion.
Anthony Johnson
: Who forgot about Rumble? No longer. When the debut show for World Series of Fighting was over, it was Anthony Johnson who was the star. Without the issue of weight cuts bothering him at light heavyweight, he displayed the damning power we've seen in spurts throughout his career. D.J. Linderman found out the rough way as he face planted and needed to be woken up.
Scott Kuczkowski
Georges St-Pierre
After being out of action since the 1980s, GSP returned and looked very impressive against a very game Carlos Condit. He looked so impressive; I am actually excited about him defending his title against guys who have fought their way into title contention, like Johny Hendricks. Unfortunately, GSP will probably fight someone less deserving like Nick Diaz because the UFC hasn't quite figured out how to balance sport vs. entertainment when it comes to title shots. Despite all that, GSP didn't look like he'd lost a step at all, and even overcame a bad spot where he was put down by a head-kick.
Johny Hendricks
: He cemented himself as the #1 contender to GSP's title with a spectacular performance against a very tough Martin Kampmann. Folks can try to downplay his wins as much as they want, but he's knocked out both Jon Fitch and Kampmann, and outwrestled both Josh Koscheck and Mike Pierce. I don't know who else the UFC expects him to beat at this point, but his wins over Koscheck, Fitch, and Kampmann, already make him more qualified for a title shot than Dan Hardy, Thiago Alves, Jake Shields, or B.J. Penn ever were.
Cung Le
: Cung is at an interesting point in his career; he's a little too old to make a serious run for the title, especially with his commitments in Hollywood, but his last win over Rich Franklin combined with the limited number of serious contenders for Anderson Silva's title means he could conceivably be two wins away from a title shot. I'm not at all predicting Cung will ever get a title shot or even win another fight in the UFC, but he's worthy of being mentioned (at least today) when we talk about the Middleweight landscape. That's pretty cool for a guy in his 40s.
Andrey Koreshkov
: Lyman Good, is an absolute beast, but Andrey handled him with relative ease. For 15 minutes, Good was out-struck, out-countered, and at times even out-grappled. I kept waiting for Lyman to get a takedown and finally start implementing his gameplan, but it never happened. I honestly think that with the correct gameplan, Andrey can take Ben Askren's title from him, and perhaps even finish the Olympiad.
Richard Hale
: When I first watched Thiago Santos fight, I thought he might be a fighter to be reckoned with, and perhaps even challenger the former champ. Well, I have no idea where that guy went, because Richard Hale pretty much walked through him and made it look easy. Aside from getting rocked early in the fight, Hale easily handled the much bigger Santos and finished him with strikes in the first round.
Patrick Mullin
Johny Hendricks
Everyone went into the Hendricks/Kampmann fight thinking it was a real pick 'em kind of fight. It was thought that the fight would be close and competitive for its duration. Well Johny Hendricks didn't want to hear none of that. He marched across that cage and fired his wrecking ball left hand right into Martin Kampmann's face to leave no doubt who the next rightful challenger to the UFC welterweight title should be.
Georges St. Pierre
: He wasn't inactive for quite as long as say...George Foreman, but after what seemed like an eternity GSP came back and proved his dominance with a one sided decision victory over a very game Carlos Condit. Great fighters don't always fight great with circumstances like GSP had, but he came through like a true champion.
Andrey Koreshkov
: This young man impressively beat Lyman Good without a whole lot of resistance to win Bellator's welterweight tournament. He showed a complete toolbox against the veteran Good and the only thing he didn't accomplish was finishing him. Not bad for a kid who could only legally by beer as of last year though.
Cung Le
: In a fight the majority of the world believed he would lose and end his UFC career Cung Le threw it in everyone's faces, particularly that of Rich Franklin, with a stunning one punch KO of the former middleweight champion. A sweet and much needed victory for a guy who may not have many more fights in him.
Tyrone Spong
: Spong was everything you'd hoped he would be in his MMA debut. He showed off his world class kickboxing and turned out Travis Bartlett's lights with a straight right hand that's a contender for KO of the year. Don't expect it to be the last highlight reel moment we see from Spong.
Stewart Lange
Georges St-Pierre
Georges came back after his lay off to reclaim his spot as the number 2 fighter in the world with a fight of the year candidate with Carlos Condit. GSP was able to out perform Condit, even coming back from being rocked for the first time since Matt Serra took the title from him all those years ago. While I question the Diaz fight that has been made, I can't take anything away from this performance and an awesome return to the cage.
Johny Hendricks
: The rightful number one contender at welterweight, Johny Hendricks blasted through Martin Kampmann to show that he's quickly become one of the elite 170lb fighters in the world.
Rafael Dos Anjos
: For a card as "light" as UFC 154 was on paper, it really needed a great opening fight and to be honest, I really enjoyed watching Rafael Dos Anjos and Mark Bocek go at it. Dos Anjos completely dominated the Canadian and while he isn't near the top of the tree, it has done him a lot of good and will likely remain a main card fighter as a result.
Cung Le
: Cung Le is nearly done in this game, Rich Franklin likely is anyway, but the fact Cung was able to pull a knockout of the year candidate out of a fight that could have been a train wreck merits a spot on this list.
Richard Hale
: Wow. What's beast Richard Hale looked against Thiago Santos. A minor hiccup in the first round aside, this is the perfect blueprint for anyone taking on a bigger, stronger fighter.
Mark Radulich
He's the second or third best fighter in the word (depending on who you ask) and he proved it in the month of November 2012. The man came back from a pretty severe injury and did all but finish one of the best fighters at 170lbs. What can one say, he's pretty darn amazing.
Johnny Hendricks
: Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. He knocked out Martin Kampman in under a minute and by all rights is the number one contender at 170lbs. Unfortunately most of the known world doesn't know what a Johnny Hendricks is nor does he capture the attention of people by being a douche bag so he's been snubbed yet again for his rightful title shot. Oh Hendricks, you poor bastard. Hey, after January 12th I'm sure Nate Marquardt will still have the worthless Strikeforce Welterweight belt. You can fight him for that if you must fight for a belt while waiting for GSP to take on more interesting but less deserving opponents.
Cung Le
: Huzzah for Cung Le, you're mostly relevant in the UFC Middleweight division! But seriously folks, Cung Le KO'ed Rich Franklin like a boss and finally had the highlight reel finish we've been waiting for. Who the hell knows what they'll do with him next but at least Zuffa got their money's worth out of him.
Tyrone Spong
: He came, he saw and knocked the BUCGAW out of Travis Bartlett. I love it and I want to see more of it! Unfortunately Spong's next fight will be in his native sport of kickboxing so we'll see what there is to see for this man's MMA career later on down the line in 2013.
Richard Hale
: Hale did in one fight what Eric Prindle was never able to without some form of crotch play, finish the BIG MONSTER! That's right, Richard Hale is well on his way to becoming Bellator's second HW champ and he did it by taking out Mr. Mashed Potatoes himself. Well done Sir!
Jon Butterfield
Georges St Pierre
Taking top spot for November is the welterweight kingpin himself, the legendary Georges St Pierre. GSP had endured a torturous 19 months spent out of action, and many thought Carlos Condit was a genuine dark horse going in to this bout. GSP, however, endured a brutal head kick that almost cleaned his clock, and embroiled himself in a veritable Fight of the Year contender – winning four of five rounds in the process. GSP showed little ring rust as he set about his task, and even though he failed to get the finish, few were able to question the quality of this performance – GSP, we WERE impressed!
Johny Hendricks
: Failing to finish Martin Kampmann has cost countless fighters in the past. Johny Hendricks was determined he wouldn't fall into that bracket, and achieved his goal by blasting the Dane with his fearsome left hand. Hendricks is proving he has power enough to end the nights of even the most resilient welterweights, and that is bad news indeed for future opponents – chief among them, Georges St Pierre!
Cung Le
: Going in to the UFC's first ever show in China, the smart money certainly seemed to be behind Rich 'Ace' Franklin. Le, despite beating a gun shy Patrick Cote relatively easily in his second UFC outing, has shown his age despite his outstanding striking skills. With a gas tank that borders on empty the minute a fight enters the second round, most thought all Franklin had to do was avoid the early KO as Wanderlei Silva had done before him, turn the heat up in the second and third, and cruise to a comfortable win. If only things had been that simple… instead, a beautifully timed one-punch KO send Franklin crashing to the canvas, and Le leaping for joy. Macau seemed to enjoy it too!
Andrey Koreshkov
: It's hard to know what to expect from fighters coming out of Russia (as well as Europe and Brazil) when they sport these 'amazing' records – sometimes you end up with a Renan Barao, destroying everything in his path, and sometimes you get an Alexander Sarnavskiy, eliminated from a Bellator tournament quarter final in disappointing fashion. Fortunately for Bellator, Andrey Koreshkov look 100 % legit as he beat Jordan Smith, Marius Zaromskis, and Lyman Good to clinch the welterweight tournament title. A Bellator mainstay, Good has been unlucky in the past and was keen to earn a rematch with Ben Askren – but Koreshkov shattered those dreams, out-pointing him across the scorecards to take a deserved win.
Rafael dos Anjos
: Rafael dos Anjos is really picking up a lot of momentum, with wins over George Sotiropolous, Kamal Shalorus, Anthony Njokuani, and now Mark Bocek. Bocek, a top 15 lightweight, was bested all hands down by dos Anjos, who may very well be knocking on the doors of the 155 lb elite in the near future.

Capital of Andalusia, Seville was one of the last footholds of the Moorish empire that ruled the Iberian Peninsula. It is home to the ingenious Barber of Seville and the tempestuous Carmen. The great Renaissance painters Velázquez and Murillo were born here, and Ferdinand and Isabel ruled Spain from the royal apartments in the Alcazar Palace. Though the city preserves its past, modern Seville is the commercial hub of Andalusia. For a city of fewer than 800,000, Seville offers amazing cultural activities, from flamenco to classical, pop, and jazz concerts.

Participating in an internship in a foreign country is a great way to gain valuable work experience, to enrich your resume, and to obtain or improve professional skills such as giving formal presentations, public speaking, and business writing in the Spanish language. This rewarding academic program, together with an enriching cultural experience in Seville—the heart of Andalusia—creates a memorable student experience.
— Virginia Neira, Resident Coordinator

Antonio Romero is the Internship Coordinator for the Business and Society Program/Summer Internship at the CIEE Seville Study Center. He is in charge of networking with local companies to offer internships to our students. Originally from the beautiful Sanlúcar de Barrameda, a coastal town in the South of Spain, in the province of Cádiz, he moved to Sevilla to study Business Administration at Universidad de Sevilla. Antonio spent six months working at CIEE´s Headquarter´s in Portland, Maine (USA), where he had the best personal and professional experience of his life—thus far!
The CIEE Study Center is located in a beautifully renovated Sevillano palace built in 1725. It is centrally located close to the Puerta de la Carne, and a 10-minute walk from the main Universidad de Sevilla building (the Tabacalera). CIEE student services and administration are housed here. In addition, CIEE professors have offices in the center, so that students may speak with them privately about issues related to their progress in class.
Housing, all meals, and laundry privileges are included for study abroad students living in Spanish-speaking private homes. Students may live alone or they may choose to be placed with another student, each in their own room. Living in a homestay is the best way to improve language skills and feel a part of the local culture. Given the size of the city, all students should expect to use public transportation to commute from their place of residence to their classes.
The mandatory orientation session, conducted in Seville at the beginning of the program, introduces you to the country, culture, and academic program, as well as provides practical information about living in Spain. It includes both structured activities and independent sightseeing. Ongoing support is provided by CIEE staff on an individual and group basis throughout the program.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop. All homestays have internet access and the CIEE Study Center has a wirless connection. You'll be allowed to use the computers at the CIEE Study Center, but for academic purposes only.
The Internship program offers a unique opportunity for study abroad students to increase their business vocabulary, immerse themselves—both linguistically and professionally—in a foreign setting, and gain practical experience on the job. The Internship program incorporates an intensive Spanish for Students of Business course, which increases the student's business vocabulary and conversational skills, as well as an internship at a local Spanish company. For the internship, students complete 100 hours of on-site work. They also conduct a research project and participate in weekly seminars, which involve training in public speaking and leadership.
Prior to departure for Seville, all students are required to take a CIEE online placement exam during the scheduled exam period in mid-April. The purpose of this exam is to determine the student's proficiency in Spanish, ensuring that they are placed in the appropriate level language course. Students should take this exam seriously, as placement in an upper level course depends upon a high online placement exam score.
The study abroad program offers students the opportunity to develop both their professional profile and Spanish language skills. Through a combination of coursework and related lectures, students have an unparalleled opportunity to observe, and even participate in, Spain's economy and business management practices. Students are expected to speak Spanish at all times in class, at their place of residence, and with fellow students.
While extracurricular activities and personal travel contribute greatly to the student's overall European experience, attendance in class and at required events is mandatory. Early departure for, or late return from, the weekend is not allowed. Any extended travel should take place prior to the start or upon completion of the program.
Spanish classes are with other CIEE study abroad students only. The internship places students with local Spanish businesses.
Students take part in the CIEE Community Language Commitment by speaking Spanish at all times (except in emergencies). This fosters a learning community that contributes to both Spanish language proficiency and understanding of Spanish society.
Final grades for the Internship program are based on completion of the 100 work hours; an evaluation by the internship sponsor; seminar attendance and participation; and completion of a professional journal, report, and presentation. Attendance is mandatory, and unexcused absences are reflected in the participant's final grade. Class attendance and participation is essential.
Courses are taught by professionals from the business community and the CIEE Study Center in Seville.
Note: This course listing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a contract between CIEE and any applicant, student, institution, or other party. The courses, as described, may be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions, assignment of lecturers and teaching staff, and program development. Courses may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.
