Gerald Corbett
Gerald Michael Nolan Corbett DL (born 7 September 1951) is a British businessman. Over a long career, he has been a director of twelve public companies, six of which he has chaired. He is currently chairman of Betfair plc, the world's leading betting exchange, which he joined in January 2012. He is also chairman of Britvic plc, the international soft drinks company whose brands include Robinsons squash, J2O, Tango, Fruit Shoot, Ballygowan water and is also a bottler for PepsiCo. As chairman he led the floatation of Britvic in 2005 since when the profits have almost trebled.
He was chairman of Moneysupermarket.com plc, the UK's leading price comparison website between 2007 when he led the floatation until April 2014. He chaired Towry, the wealth advisory business between 2012 and 2014 and was a non-executive director of Numis plc, the stockbroking and investment banking business based in the City from 2008. He took over the chair at Numis in 2014.
In 2005 he became Chairman of SSL International plc, the consumer healthcare group, whose major brands included Durex and Scholl, sold in over 50 countries. In 2010 he negotiated the sale of SSL to Reckitt Benckiser for £2.5 billion, a gain of 400% on the share price 5 years previously.
He was Chairman of Action on Hearing Loss between 2007 and 2013 (the Royal National Institute of the Deaf), the UK's largest charity for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. He is Chairman of the Hertfordshire Community Foundation and Chairman of the St Albans Cathedral Music Trust. He was High Sheriff of Hertfordshire for 2010/11 and served on the Council of the Shrieval Association between 2008-2012.
Described by David Freud in his book "Freud in the City" as "immensely approachable, a short and jovial figure, full of impromptu quips relayed to the accompaniment of short, barks of laughter", he had an executive career which covered many years as a Finance Director (he was one of the longest serving members of the 100 Group of FTSE Finance Directors) prior to a controversial spell as Chief Executive of Railtrack, the infrastructure part of the Tory Government's Railway privatisation.
Early career[edit]
Corbett attended Tonbridge School, before studying history at Cambridge University, where he was a foundation scholar. After this, he attended London and Harvard business schools before joining Boston Consulting Group, which advises on corporate strategy, in the mid-70s. In 1982, he joined electrical retailer Dixons, where he became group Financial Controller and Corporate Finance Director.
He left after five years to be Group Finance Director at international building materials firm Redland. In 1993, he became Group Finance Director of Grand Metropolitan, the food and drink giant. In February 1996 in The Mail on Sunday, Patience Wheatcroft identified Corbett as one of business' "high powered hot shots" who would lead British business into the new millennium.
When "Grand Met" merged with Guinness to form Diageo, in summer 1997 he left and was appointed Chief Executive of Railtrack,[1] which he left in November 2000.[2]
Railtrack was the most controversial of the Conservative government privatisations. The railway was dismembered into over 100 different pieces of which by far the largest was Railtrack which owned and operated the infrastructure. According to Railtrack's annual reports and in a series of documents published by the office of the Rail Regulator, under Corbett, train punctuality improved to levels not seen before, investment rose, profits increased, the share price went up and the safety record steadily improved (Network Management Statement 1999). This is in spite of the Hatfield rail crash, which exposed Railtrack's inadequate maintenance of the railways. In 1998 Railtrack rescued the Channel Tunnel rail link, which was subsequently delivered on budget and on time. By the year 2000, 20% more people were travelling by rail than under old BR[citation needed].
In September 1997, three weeks after his appointment, a First Great Western express train from Swansea collided with a freight train at Southall, West London, killing seven passengers. Twenty seven months later, in October 1999, another Intercity train collided with a commuter train near Paddington, killing 31 people. It was Britain's worst rail disaster in a decade.
Railtrack came under intense scrutiny from the regulator who claimed Railtrack was pursuing a deliberate "culture of defiance" due to disagreements over failed punctuality improvement targets. Corbett, who became the mouthpiece of the privatised railway, was frequently on TV and Radio defending his company.
A year after the Paddington crash, in October 2000, a train from London to Leeds derailed at Hatfield, resulting in four deaths. Corbett's resignation was initially rejected by the Railtrack board.[3] On the same day on the BBC 7 o'clock news Corbett identified the Railways problem as its fragmentation. The railway had been "ripped apart by privatisation". He urged Government and regulators to "think the unthinkable". He eventually left with a compensation package estimated to be worth £1.3m in total (of which £900,000 was his accrued pension benefit).
Corbett was personified on the London stage in David Hare's "The Permanent Way" and in the television film "Derailed".[4] These dramatisations showed the private tension beneath the public face and noted that Corbett had his own share of personal tragedy.[5] His father was killed at an early age by a drunk driver in a car accident. Corbett is married to an artist. Together they have four children, and he himself is one of five brothers.
After partial re-nationalisation of the railways in the form of Network Rail, improvements in punctuality were initially slow due to speed restrictions imposed on the rail network after Railtrack's poor health and safety standards resulted in significant infrastructure problems.[6] As of 2014, punctuality has greatly improved, with a Public Performance Measure (the percentage of trains arriving at their terminating stations on time) at 92.1% [7]
After Railtrack[edit]
In March 2001, he was back at the helm of another major company, Woolworths, appointed to oversee the demerger of Woolworths Group from Kingfisher. Once this was completed in August 2001, he remained on the board as Chairman until 2007.
In October 2003, he was appointed non-executive chairman of Health Club Holdings, the Holmes Place fitness clubs business, which he stepped down from at the end of 2005 following his appointment as Chairman of soft drinks company Britvic,[8] to oversee its flotation in December 2005 on the London Stock Exchange. Since flotation Britvic has expanded into Ireland, France the USA and India. The market value is over three times that at flotation.
He has also been a non-executive director of Burmah-Castrol plc and the MEPC property group.
In July 2005 he was appointed as Chairman of SSL International,[9] the company that manufactures and sells internationally Durex contraceptives and Scholl footwear and footcare products. In the last five years SSL's profits have trebled as the business has expanded into Russia, the Ukraine and China, benefitting also from major new product development. On 20 July 2010 the SSL Board accepted a £2.5 billion offer for the company from Reckitt Benckiser plc. Over the 5-year period this represents an improvement in shareholder value of almost 400 per cent making it one of the best performing shares on the London market over that time period. The Lex column in the Financial Times described the price as "gutsy at twenty times ebitda" on 22 July. Nils Prately in the Guardian said that "SSL was the clear winner of the deal". Alex Brummer in the Daily Mail wrote that "it was a fairy tale for SSL shareholders"
Between 2004 and 2010 he was a non-executive director of Greencore Group plc, the Irish food company headquartered in Dublin. He was Chairman of the Governors of Abbot's Hill School between 1997–2002 and has been a governor of Luton University.[10] In 2010 he served as High Sheriff of Hertfordshire[11]
In the recent past Corbett has kept out of the public eye, focusing on his Chairmanships at Britvic, Betfair, Numis and his charity work. In December 2014 it was announced that he will take over as Chairman of the Marylebone Cricket Club in September 2015. He also became a Deputy Lieutenant of Hertfordshire in 2015.

So this would be my Encyclopedia Animalia. I love zoology and anything animal, this journal will therefore mainly be devoted to my biggest inspirational sources; creatures both big and small. Some real, others made up.
Oh, and I guess a few humans, enviros and mechs so don't worry.
So this is the white-eared bludger bear(!), an omnivore native to the Eurasian tundra. This quick and rather rough colour sketch was drawn in Painter IX and coloured in Photoshop.

Simple sketches of a Giant Eland and a rhino, the Eland being one of my favourite bovids.
January 5th, 2008 #14
Fantastic sense of anatomy. These are great. i guess you've been to the naturalhistorical museum and drawn a few times. I've been there from time to time, so much inspiration. Last time I sat and drew this rhino skeletion they have. The cranium of these beasts are fascinating.
I haven't talked to theo for a while now. But we should definetly meet up and sketch some weekend.
Theo said something about you working with Andreas (Yoonjin). Still working there?
January 5th, 2008 #15
Oh - thank you! I am a complete animal nut and I have always been. I've kept the weirdest animals throughout my life and I've spent a lot of time in zoos. I agree, we should definitely meet up and sketch. Have to try and get Theo out with us as well. Here's my msn, if you feel like talking sometime. email@example.com
Yes, I'm still working with them. Well, not working per se, but I meet up with them about once a week for internship practise, so to speak. Andreas is teaching me matte painting and some 3D so I can help them with projects now and then. But yeah, I still see him.

*chuckles* I'm glad people like my animals! I was kind of afraid that people would be bored because they're so... Well, ordinary.
Flipnastywebby: Thanks a lot! I'm using Painter, the scratchboard tool under 'pens'. It's absolutely great and I really cannot stop using it.

Answer without an update...
As we talk about in the scandinavian thread, we should have a sketchmeet. Would be really fun. You can teach me how to draw animals.
January 19th, 2008 #24
I don't know why when I first saw that I thought "Cow". Just goes to show you how little I know about bovines.
Great creature design though. The horn looks totally natural on the bears head. I'll definitely be watching for more.

Cost effective options for receiving weather reports while sailing
I understand that the equipment needed is determined by how far offshore you may be sailing. However, I am trying to determine how to install the weather receiving capability in phases that make sense (by being able to expand or update) as my sailing goes from coastal to offshore. I am aware of the offshore standard of using a SSB radio and modem to receive weather fax or voice reports...but that is a $3-5,000 investment, right?
Currently, and for the next year or so, I will be coastal cruising in the 60 to 20 mile offshore range...mostly within 20. The Garmin GDL 30a XM weather/radio receiver/antenna package at about $300-400 will apparently provide decent weather information within 20 miles. But if that is installed now, will it simply have to be swapped out for another entire system to obtain unlimited access to weather as I start to venture across oceans?
Any thoughts on the best plan to build a state of art weather receiving capability?
Been sailing all day with Dad, and I need a drink?

I'd assume the car exhausts in a big city in an "appropriate" street is much worse than there, where there's even likely to be a little more wind to carry away a great deal of toxic air.

AN elderly Chinese couple from the country's Zhejiang province refused to sell their land to the government in order for a new motorway to be constructed - so the government simply built the motorway around their home.
The couple say that compensation offered is not enough to cover rebuilding costs, according to local media.
It is reported that the couple were offered in the region of €10,000 for their home, and despite initially accepting the offer, they later returned the money.
Their house is the only building left standing on a road which is paved through their village.
Despite the couple living in one apartment in the five story building, authorities left the entire structure intact for safety reasons.
Property laws in the communist country have recently been changed making it illegal to demolish a property without agreement.

NORWALK, Conn., Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Capgemini Consulting, the global strategy and transformation consulting arm of the Capgemini Group, has announced the release of its study conducted with HealthPrize Technologies, "Estimated Annual Pharmaceutical Revenue Loss Due to Medication Non-Adherence." The report provides key insights and analysis on the significant revenue loss to global pharmaceutical companies as a result of medication non-adherence.
Based on detailed review and analysis of modern claims-based adherence literature and data, the estimate of revenue lost by the U.S. pharmaceutical industry each year due to non-adherence to medications for chronic disease is $188 billion. Extrapolated to the global pharmaceutical industry, revenue losses are estimated to be $564 billion. This number is significantly higher than the $30 billion global revenue loss often quoted to date from a 2004 study1, and higher than many pharmaceutical executive estimates.
This revenue loss represents 59% of all pharmaceutical revenues, which were $320 billion in the U.S. and $956 billion globally in 2011 according to IMS, and 37% of potential total annual revenues, which would be $508 billion in the U.S. and $1,520 billion globally. While achieving 100% medication adherence is likely not possible, even a modest 10 percentage point increase in adherence could lead to a significant rise in pharmaceutical revenues, accompanied by improved health outcomes and decreased healthcare spending.
"The revenue that pharma leaves on the table due to lack of adherence to prescription medications is much higher than usually thought," explained Thomas Forissier, Principal at Capgemini Consulting. "In addition, many people don't realize that a 10% boost in adherence could increase revenue by much more than 10%. That 10% loss is based on the higher revenue amount that could have materialized, not on actual revenue earned."

She came before the scheduled time, she danced the bhangra on the groovy dance number from the Bollywood film Rang De Basanti, not once but twice, and finally, when it was time to leave, she gave a tight hug to each of the 32 children whom she met at Mumbai University for more than half an hour.
The first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, was full of enthusiasm and energy when she interacted with children from four orphanages in Mumbai, at a special event organised by an NGO, Make A Difference (MAD), working among the poor children and helping them to get a better education.
"She was so happy to meet all of our kids. She played hopscotch and missing letters game with them and also wanted to see how we teach them. She even joined the kids in the dance, not once but twice. It was hugs and high-fives all over. She never let the kids think that she was someone important," said Tanmay Arora, a volunteer from MAD.
The children were overjoyed to see the first lady sitting with them, dancing and playing drums. "We were doing the bhangra, when she saw us, and she danced just like us. She even gifted us a bag full of goodies. I enjoyed my time with her," said Johny David, one of the children of Father Agnel school.
"We got chocolates, soft toys, notebooks, sketch pens, pencils and a memento [with Michelle Obama written on it] from her. When we asked for an autograph, she signed it for all of us," said Sachin Jadhav, another child.
The MAD volunteers were visibly happy for the recognition of their work. "It was just 15 days earlier when we got the call from the American officials. They wanted to see our work and I am very proud that our work among the children has been appreciated internationally," said Jithin C Nedumala, founder of MAD.
During her half-hour interaction, Michelle spoke to the kids and inspired them to reach greater heights, bringing a touch of compassion and social care to the presidential visit.
"I love dancing," she told the kids. "You are very lucky and blessed. I also have two children," she said.
"Working hard, studying and having courage are the important things in life. I also studied hard in my life. I never thought I will become the first lady. But when I got a chance, I was prepared for it because of education. You can be successful and smart with education," she said at the programme organised by the NGO.
She also invited queries from students. A girl told her that after meeting the first lady, her dreams had come true. Michelle responded saying, "No. You are my dream. We are very proud of you.
"President Obama is trying to make this world better so that kids like you can get better opportunities."
Michelle asked the children to work hard and "educate yourselves". She signed autographs on their hands and shirts and danced with them once again to the RDB title song.

Over the summer, a Seattle University Professionals Without Borders team traveled to Chirundu, Zambia to implement a senior design project. The project was conceived by Father Bert Otten, SJ, Emeritus Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, who now lives in Zambia. With only 21% of the people in developing countries have access to electricity; the project was to test a unique way to deliver power to rural developing countries.
Seattle University students installed a waterwheel electrical generator on the Zambezi River in Chirundu, Zambia. During their senior year, the Electrical and Computer Engineering students designed and completed extensive testing to determine the power characteristics of the generator. A prototype of the generator was constructed to design and test the controls, transmission, and an appropriate way to store the generated power.
The installation uses simple, appropriate technology to deliver renewable electricity to rural communities on larger rivers in Zambia. Using a commonly available washing machine motor and simple electronics to charge batteries, the system is more cost effective source of power than the equivalent solar panels in this rural part of Africa. This electrical system is easy to maintain and can be recreated in other communities. The total cost, including the construction of the waterwheel is less than the solar panel equivalent. The waterwheel platform was developed for a spiral pump by a Seattle University Senior Design team in 2009
The installed generator system includes a generator, controls, protection, and a battery system. The battery system can be used for a variety of purposes, including charging cell phones, operating pumps and other electrical devices.

Cartoonist channels his inner 12-year-old
Steve Breen's new book started as laughs for his kids
Q: How were the drawings created? Were your sons right there with you, or did you get ideas from them and do the drawings later?
A: Sometimes they were right there. Or I would draw them on my lunch break or at night and then I'd show them in the morning. It happened all different kinds of ways. "Dad, draw something with a dinosaur." So I'd do a dinosaur eating Donald Trump. I would kind of add my own little twists with people in the news to make it interesting to me, but it would still be stuff they would get a kick out of.
After I had 100 to 200 of these things, I got my book agent to shop them around and we found a publisher and we did a book. I mocked up a cover and I sent it off to the agent in Hollywood and I said, "Remember our talk at lunch? Here's the book." And she just went wild. She took it to a meeting of agents. Everyone liked it. So she sent it to the studios. And we got all these calls back with interest.
The way (talent agency) CAA works is they package things. She found a great director (Rawson Thurber) and she found a great writer (Simon Rich). He was able to get the vibe of what we were doing with the book, because it has no narrative. There's no plot or main character or anything. He was able to take the story of how this all came about, the wacky nature of the drawings, and come up with a story. We had five studios bidding on it and we went with Universal.
Q: So you got a book and a movie out of this. Anything else?
A: I got two things: Time to bond with the boys, and time to just have fun and draw. I have this thing I'll be able to put on a shelf and look at it and think, I did that with my guys.
The other thing is, cartooning is very stressful. It's a fun job, but it's stressful because you have to be funny. You have to have punch lines and captions. Be funny now! And if you're not inspired, they don't care — be funny now! They have to fill that hole the next day.
With this project, I was able to draw just for the sake of drawing. If it wasn't funny, who cares? It was drawing for the fun of drawing, and it was what I would do from age 8 to 18 on the margins of books and my folders. Just draw something. So basically this book was created by a juvenile mind for juvenile minds.
Q: What was it like when your boys laughed at it?
A: I would love it. That's what it's all about. Or when they would say, "Coooool." That's almost better than a laugh.
Q: Were there ground rules, things you couldn't do?
A: There were. This book has a lot of macabre stuff in it. But there were limits on the gore and violence. My wife, she thought this project was a little weird from the beginning. She did not want any guns. Or, I should say, no gun violence. Because there is a scene with a monkey with a tranquilizer gun.

An auction business model serves as a brokerage between buyers and sellers. According to DigitalEnterprise.org, three types of transactions may occur between buyers and sellers in a web marketplace: business-to-business, business-to-consumer and consumer-to-consumer.
In one example, eBay is a massive auction site in which consumers find products using a bidding process. The eBay business includes all three types of transactions. As a brokerage, a site like eBay charges a fee--to buyers, sellers or both--to cover the cost of bringing buyers and sellers together.

5 kids hurt as tornado breaks windows in QC
More News from Jeannette I. Andrade
In a middle of a thunderstorm, a tornado shattered the glass windows of a fastfood restaurant in Quezon City on Thursday afternoon, causing injuries to five children who were inside a playpen.
Initial reports from the Quezon City Police District Masambong station said the freak occurrence happened around 4:30 p.m. as strong winds, rains and even hail, in some cases, were pelting most areas in the city, including San Francisco del Monte, after several hours of soaring temperatures.
Witnesses said that suddenly, powerful gusts of wind shattered the windows of the fast-food restaurant at the corner of Roosevelt and Del Monte Avenues in San Francisco Del Monte.
Most of the windows which broke were installed on the establishment's second floor where the playpen was located.
At that time, several children were playing and some of the glass shards fell on them, leaving five injured, including a 2-year-old child.
Those who were hurt were immediately brought to the nearby St. Agnes General Hospital for treatment.

2002 BEST New Restaurant
It's no wonder Food & Wine magazine chose Thomas John as one of the country's 10 best chefs this year. His sophisticated Indian-accented French cuisine has made Mantra such a destination that it's spawned its own cult following. Creations such as grilled lamb loin with saffron coconut sauce or spice-crusted halibut are so delicate and flavorful, they're swoon-inducing. Conveniently, Mantra's 20-foot wooden hookah den is the perfect retreat after indulging in the addictive cuisine. That's where Mantra devotees congregate to sample strawberry-, apple-, and grape-flavored tobacco hookahs and titter about the one-way mirrors in the futuristic downstairs bathrooms.

Flu season is just around the corner and as dreadful as the cold & flu season may sound, PrimaryPlus has just the thing to make it all better—the flu shot. Flu shots at PrimaryPlus locations for ONLY $15.00. This great price on flu shots is available anytime at their many office locations; however, PrimaryPlus-South Shore has set aside October 23rd and 24th from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm to host a flu shot clinic at their 142 Depot Dr. location (located next to Family Dollar) to help get you in and out quickly—with no wait time.
Flu season can start as early as October and can end as late as May. The flu vaccine reduces the chances of getting the flu. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that the following high risk individuals should consider taking the flu shot:
—Children who are 6 months or older
—Pregnant Women
—People 50 years of age and older
—People of any age that may have chronic medical conditions (such as heart
disease, diabetes, asthma, etc).
—People living in nursing homes and/or long-term care facilities.
—People who live with or care for those who are at risk for complications from
the flu such as caregivers, healthcare workers, etc.
People who should not be vaccinated or should consult with their doctor beforehand include those with a severe allergy to chicken eggs, those who have had a severe reaction to the flu vaccine in the past, those who have developed Gullian-Barre syndrome within 6 weeks of receiving the vaccine in the past, children less than 6 months of age, and people who have a moderate or severe illness containing fever should wait until symptoms lessen before becoming vaccinated.
There are preventative ways to also help prevent the spread of germs that we should practice year round. These include:
—Covering your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough. Use a tissue and make sure to properly dispose of it.
—Wash your hands with soap and water often (but especially after coughing and sneezing). Alcohol based sanitizers also work.
—Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
—Try to avoid contact with sick people and/or if sick limit exposure to others.
—Those who have flu-like symptoms are encouraged by the CDC to stay home for at least 24 hours after fever breaks (accept to receive medical care).
Again, flu vaccines are ONLY $15.00 at PrimaryPlus locations, with payment being required the day of your visit (with the exception of Medicare and Medicaid patients—Medicaid patients must have an appointment). The no-wait time flu clinic will be held October 23rd and 24th from 8:30-4:30. PrimaryPlus-South Shore features the care of James Ryan, APRN and Jim Yount, MPA-C offering complete care for the entire family including family health, women's health, x-ray services and minor procedure care. Learn more by visiting www.primaryplus.net or by liking our Facebook page at facebook.com/PrimaryPlus2. PrimaryPlus is always welcoming new patients; call 606-932-2271 to schedule an appointment today.

Kodachrome's bright colors will fade away
Digital age sends film into retirement
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Sorry, Paul Simon, Kodak is taking your Kodachrome away.
The Eastman Kodak Co. announced yesterday that it is retiring its oldest film stock because of declining customer demand in an increasingly digital age.
The world's first commercially successful color film, immortalized in song by Simon, spent 74 years in Kodak's portfolio. It enjoyed its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s but has edged closer to obscurity in recent years. Sales of Kodachrome are just a fraction of 1 percent of the company's total sales of still-picture films, and only one commercial lab in the world still processes it.
Those numbers and the unique materials needed to make it convinced Kodak to call its most recent manufacturing run the last, said Mary Jane Hellyar, the outgoing president of Kodak's Film, Photofinishing and Entertainment Group.
"Kodachrome is particularly difficult (to retire) because it really has become kind of an icon," Hellyar said.
Simon sang about it in 1973 in "Kodachrome": "They give us those nice bright colors. They give us the greens of summers. Makes you think all the world's a sunny day . . . so Mama don't take my Kodachrome away."
Indeed, Kodachrome was favored by still and motion-picture photographers for its rich but realistic tones, vibrant colors and durability.
It was the basis not only for countless family slide shows on carousel projectors over the years but also for world-renowned images, including Abraham Zapruder's 8 mm reel of President John F. Kennedy's assassination on Nov. 22, 1963.
Photojournalist Steve McCurry's widely recognized portrait of an Afghan refugee girl, shot on Kodachrome, appeared on the cover of National Geographic in 1985. At Kodak's request, McCurry will shoot one of the last rolls of Kodachrome film and donate the images to Rochester's George Eastman House, which honors the company's founder.
For McCurry, who after 25 years with Kodachrome moved to digital photography and other films in the past few years, the project will close out an era.
"I want to take (the last roll) with me and somehow make every frame count . . . just as a way to honor the memory and always be able to look back with fond memories at how it capped and ended my shooting Kodachrome," McCurry said last week from Singapore, where he has an exhibition at the Asian Civilizations Museum.
Photographer Peter Guttman used Kodachrome for 16 years, until about 1990, before switching to Kodak's more modern Ektachrome film, and he calls it "the visual crib that I was nurtured in." He used it to create a widely published image of a snowman beneath a solar eclipse, shot in the winter in North Dakota.
"I was pretty much entranced by the incredibly realistic tones and really beautiful color," Guttman said, "but it didn't have that artificial Crayola coloration of some of the other products that were out there."
Kodachrome was invented by Leopold Godowsky Jr. and Leopold Mannes, two classical musicians and amateur photographers.

On Saturday October 5, 2013 at 2pm EST (11am PST, 7pm GMT) we're inviting rookie teams and rookie players to participate in an exclusively rookie Grifball event! The default game type and map will be GGL SML2013 Grifball – 9 Rounds on Grassy Green Lane (Overcast). If both team captains agree, they may use whatever map they wish.
The event will be open to anyone eligible for play in the GGL (just to keep any banned players out) that has played 3 or less full seasons on any GGL team (aggregate), and 4 full seasons or less in the GGL, AGLA, and EUGBL combined. This is more of a guideline, and exceptions will be made.The final decision rests with the event organizers.
Signups are open to teams, and individuals. I will do my best to group those who signup individually into teams, and will have a thread in the forums so players can seek out other players and form teams for the event. If there are not enough qualifying rookie players to form a team (if a team is short 1-3 players), I will fill the team with slightly more experienced volunteers (hopefully I will have some pre-approved volunteers just in case).
With 6 or more teams, the event will be a round-robin style event, with the overall winners (win-loss record) from each division forming a playoff bracket. Depending on the number of teams, I may also include a Wildcard team or two to even out the bracket, chosen by point differential,. In the event of a tie, strength-of-schedule will be assessed by opponents win-loss records. The team with the hardest schedule will advance. If there are less than 6 teams, the event will be a double elimination style tournament.
I encourage streaming when available. If anyone would like to volunteer to stream or neutral host games, please pm Craigasaur83.
See you on the court!

Amwell, a free-to-download app created by American Well and launched in October 2013, gives Americans live video access to US board-certified doctors, therapists, and nutritionists 24/7/365 from a mobile device -- for just $49 per visit.
Today marks the official start of March Madness, college basketball's biggest stage. Last year, 102 million viewers tuned in to the tournament to watch on average more than 6 hours of college hoops madness each.
But this event, like the Super Bowl, the Oscars, and so many other live events, is no longer just about television. People are increasingly engaging with these events via other devices and platforms. Here's some proof:
With its vast compilation of user data, Facebook offers unique targeting capabilities that often lead to great success for many of our clients. Boston-based telehealth company American Well is a great example.
When Facebook introduced its Audience Network—an advertising channel that allows advertisers to leverage the social network's wealth of data to bring targeted adds into third-party apps—marketers took notice. And why wouldn't they? Marketing on Facebook's News Feed has already proven widely successful, and by offering a new traffic source with extended targeting options, it all but guaranteed better results.
Featured by Apple as a "Best New App," BUNT is the exclusive digital trading card app of Major League Baseball. Looking to reach out to the millions of tech-savvy baseball fans across the world, Topps, the makers of BUNT, turned to Fiksu to acquire users and maximize ROI.
For some companies, mobile is just one part of what they do. For Shotzoom, much like for Fiksu, mobile is the only thing they do. Shotzoom has been developing apps since 2008, and their golf performance app, Golfshot: Golf GPS is currently among the Top 20 grossing apps in the sports category.
We recently sat down with their President and GM, Ben Addoms, to learn more about their mobile strategy. Watch the complete video below.
When Facebook launched its mobile app install ads in October 2012, it soon became clear that there was massive – and untapped – potential in app install ads.
In case you spent the last few weeks eagerly anticipating the return of Flappy Birds, here are the top four Fiksu news stories you might have missed:
It's been a busy week for our Chief Strategy Officer Craig Palli: with all the recent news around the changing mobile advertising landscape, his expertise has been in high demand. Last Thursday, Craig spoke with Mike Shields of the Wall Street Journal's CMO Today about the importance of app install ads, on the heels of Facebook's earnings announcement.
As marketers, we're often looking for some attention-getting device to get people to notice our message.
Sometimes you have a great story, but there's no one individual, dramatic point to make. Thus, there's a temptation to resort to headlines like "long lost secrets of app marketing" and that sort of thing. We've all seen these kind of headlines, and we've all probably clicked on a few of them.

Christian Ponder Has Elbow Bursitis, May Not Start Vs Packers
by Glenn Erby | Posted on Saturday, January 5th, 2013

Ponder reportedly was limited throughout the week, and backup quarterback Joe Webb received the bulk of the first team reps.
I think in such a huge ballgame, Ponder would have to be unable to throw the ball to not accept such a challenge.

It's one of THE most cliched lines in movie history: "Don't die on me.
I caught "Skyfall" over the weekend, and after I sat back and marveled at what had to be the best James Bond flick in decades, I wanted to do three things very badly: I wanted to take Bérénice Marlohe out for a nice seafood dinner and call her again; I wanted to drive a dirtbike on a rooftop in Istanbul; and I really wanted to fight a bad guy and smash through a plate of glass (and not have it hurt too badly).
They're just shifting gears, but this Supercut is a hilarious example of just how over-the-top "The Fast and the Furious" movies were and are.
Hard to believe that they could only find 20 of these throughout movie history.
With the somber 10th anniversary of the September 11th attack a little over a week away, New York City-based animator Dan Meth dropped this celebratory montage of the Twin Towers as an iconic New York City establishing shot.
