TeachMeet Debrief – September #TMBrisbane
Posted by kmcg2375 in conferences, education, learning community, university on October 15, 2013
#TMBrisbane 2013 (September)
I recently publicised a TeachMeet that my students and I were hosting at QUT as part of a unit on English Curriculum Studies. This particular TeachMeet had the theme 'What works in education?' and was designed to facilitate the kind of professional sharing that I want to model for my students – open, generous and friendly with a focus on developing relationships and building communities of practice.
The picture above shows a few of our participants in further conversation during the tea break. This was an after-school session, run from 4.45-6.30pm, and it was great to see presentations from a wide range of contexts. Speakers on the day were:
- Alison Welch – The benefits of collaboration
- Mark Yeates – Use of LMSs from a Year Level Coordinator's Perspective
- Greg Howes – Designing infographics to promote creativity
- Garry Collins – One little thing that works in teaching grammar
- Nathan Beveridge – Bananas about STEMx: Applications of Fruit and High Technology in C21st Learning
- Lisa Furuya – Gamifying your practice
- Kelli McGraw – The ongoing relevance of the Productive Pedagogies
- Anita Garnsworthy – Inside learning goals: Gathering student insight and feedback
- Josephine Wise – Leading and Teaching: 10 Top Tips for moving from Highly Accomplished to Lead Teacher
- Bruce Lee – Introducing the Scootle Community (www.scootle.edu.au)
The big messages and important links from the TeachMeet have been captured using Storify at this link:
The power of TeachMeet…
Reflecting on the event, I think the best part of a TeachMeet is the opportunity for face-to-face connection with other educators in a non-threatening environment. Although we also had a strong backchannel occurring in both Twitter and Scootle, it was the chance to 'put a face to a name' that I valued most.
It was also awesome to see experienced educators modelling courageous sharing for my preservice teachers – everyone authentically attempted the 'pecha kucha' or 'micropresentation' styles, which are challenging to master!
TeachMeets are PD events run in the 'unconference tradition' – they are free to attend and the presentations are short (2 or 7 minutes only). Our TeachMeet had a mixture of classroom teachers and school leaders, as well as a university teacher, a student/pre-service teacher, teachers undertaking research degrees and policy workers. I was so proud of my students for having the confidence to host the event and get involved in professional conversations…they also put on a pretty mean afternoon tea spread ;)
The next Brisbane TeachMeet will be held soon, on Thursday 24th October, at Marist Ashgrove. If you are an educator in SouthEast Queensland I encourage you to attend – you can sign up via the wiki.
We're hosting a TeachMeet!

It's been over a year since I went to my first TeachMeet, up here in Brisbane. I presented a pecha kucha on 'fair' assessment and Project Based Learning and had a great time meeting a bunch of other educators from a wide range of contexts.
Now the time has come for me to donate space at my institution to the cause. Each semester I endeavour to arrange an activity that puts my preservice students in touch with teachers and practitioners in 'the real world', and this semester the TeachMeet will be that event! When I asked my students a few weeks ago if they were keen to act as hosts for this event they were really into it the idea and the planning (mostly of potential snacks) began straight away.
Our theme is 'What Works in Education?', which doesn't really narrow the focus too much but is intended to get people interested in sharing good ideas.
If you follow this blog and live in Brisbane we'd love to see you at our TeachMeet!
Details for (FREE!) registration can be found here: http://tmbrisbane.wikispaces.com/
If you exist in the Twitterverse you can also follow along and add ideas during the event using the hashtag #tmbrisbane

Slaves to the Grade
It's that time of year. Teachers of Year 12 around Australia are scrambling to varying degrees to prepare students for final assessments and exams, which inevitably involves a whole lotta marking.
Of course, all teachers have to grade student work. And they are engaged in doing this all year. But nothing beats the pedal-to-the-metal feeling of marking Year 12 practice tasks in a last ditch effort to refine their examination responses.
In particular, nothing beats the hellish pressure that exists in states like NSW and Victoria where the HSC and VCE exams respectively loom over teachers and students alike. And out of all these teachers and students, I argue that subjects that are writing-intensive (e.g. English and History) have it the toughest; if you have a class of 25 for Year 12 and it's coming up to an assessment, teachers in these subjects are spending their nights and weekends correcting pages and pages and pages of long form expositions.
Which can leave your eyes (and soul) feeling kinda like this:
I was prompted to write this blog post after watching my friends Justin and Alex tweet about their marking yesterday:
I've taught for the HSC three times and this slavish marking routine is the only part I do not miss…having said that, the jolly task I have now of marking as a university lecturer has involved marking binges that certainly rival the pain of HSC workload.
The question is – what can we do about it?
Is there anything we can do about it?
Some ideas that I threw out into the twittersphere yesterday seem promising, but without a class to try them on I'm at a loss, not sure if they would work. The ideas I bounced around with Justin and Alex were:
- Focussing on writing just the introduction, or a body paragraph. This would make the task smaller and more focussed for students, and more manageable to mark 25-30 of them.
- Setting a paragraph writing challenge. To address Justin's problem of the student that only writes about 'tone', each week set a different language feature/form for students to write a paragraph on. By the end of the term they will have a bank of paragraphs on different elements.
- Gamify the writing process. This could be done by putting students in groups, getting every student to write a paragraph (or essay), then each group submits it's best one (as judged by the students in the group) for marking. This means you only have to mark one essay/paragraph per group, not per student. Keep a chart of which group wins each week and award them a prize at the end of the unit. Change the groups around for each new unit.
- Peer assessment. This can only be used in a limited way, as students don't have the capacity to grade work to a Year 12 standard. However you could use the 'medals (feedback) and missions (feedforward)' framework that Bianca draws on to give students a direction. I think the main benefit is that they read each other's work and discuss their strengths, not that they actually give each other a 'grade'.
- Find an authentic audience. Partnering up with another teacher/class would provide an avenue for students to share their work with another class on a platform such as a wiki. This would give students someone to perform for besides their own teacher, which could prove motivating. The teachers could also arrange to do a marking-swap, and grade each other's student essays…this may get you writing less comments, marking more objectively (?) and just plain old provide a change of pace as you get to read a different set of handwriting!
I really hope these ideas are useful to someone out there.
If you have any other good ideas for getting feedback to students without going through so much of the eye-bleedingly painful million-essay marking process, I would LOVE to hear them!
Thanks to Justin and Alex for inspiring this post and helping me brainstorm ideas :)

Preservice students' ultimate classroom design
Posted by kmcg2375 in education, university on July 29, 2013
In most English Curriculum units I run an activity where students work in groups to design their ultimate English classroom.
Here are some of the elements that come up in many of the designs:
- Really big bookshelf
- Reading area/chill out zone with bean bags
- Lots of windows
- Blackout curtains around the room for cinema viewing & drama background
- 'Drama blocks' that can be used as seating or a stage (or a dedicated stage area)
- An indoor plant
- Projector and screen
- Moveable tables (though note often teacher-centric as default)
Some groups, but not too many, also include:
- Interactive whiteboard/s
- Posters on the wall
- iPad/laptop chargers
- Student work display board
- Different 'zones' in one big room
- Coffee/tea making area
- An outdoor area e.g. verandah
The inclusion of a coffee/tea area is slightly worrying, given the adolescent age range of the students in mind!
Other than that though, I can see very good reasons for most of these design elements.
The only problems is…I know that these aspiring teachers have buckleys of fitting all this in to a traditional school classroom space. Until we knock down the walls and invest in new, flexible, comfortable furnishings, these dream rooms will stay just that. A dream.
What do you do to make your classroom more like your 'ultimate room'? What else would you include in your ultimate classroom design?

I googled it and it seems to be a common issue across many different Nvidia cards and this new game. The fix was to turn off AA, for some people setting the lighting to Bloom down from HDR fixed it. All I did was turn off AA and it's fine now. For some reason, the game looks better without AA for me, I am seeing sunrays, more specular lighting on rocks and stuff.
Such a weird and buggy engine. I had so many issues with Fallout 3, I'm surprised I was able to get through the whole game.
Overall though, I am loving this game. It seems easier though, tons of loot and stuff is dying quicker. I remember running backwards a lot in the first one.
Yeah, I had the same issue. Its probably just artifacts from combining AA+HDR, although I don't remember Fallout 3 having the same issue. It would be pretty sad if Obsidian used an older build of the Gamebryo engine than the one used in Fallout 3.

Qadri Jamil, Syria's deputy prime minister for economic affairs, listens during a news conference in Moscow August 3, 2012. REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov
MOSCOW: Syria has reached an agreement to send its crude oil to Russia in return for shipments of refined oil products, Syria's deputy prime minister for economic affairs said Friday.
"We will deliver our oil and receive gasoline and fuel oil; it will be a barter," Qadri Jamil told journalists, adding that Syria is producing about 200,000 barrels per day.
Jamil, leading a delegation of economic officials including the country's oil and finance ministers, was in talks with Russian government and private sector officials on ways to alleviate the economic effects of sanctions on Syria.
"We need oil, oil products. Shortages of these materials are making the situation in the country difficult," he said at a news conference.
He also said Syria had asked for credit from Russia and that the size and terms of any loan would be decided "within weeks".
Russia, which along with China has defended Syrian President Bashar Assad from harsher sanctions in the U.N. Security Council, is one of Damascus' few remaining allies.

The Church of England plans to rush through legislation to consecrate women bishops after a surprising defeat in November at the church's General Synod in London. The church's Archbishops' Council said a plan to allow women bishops needs to be "restarted" when the General Synod reconvenes in July. Church leaders originally said the issue could not be reopened until 2015.

The UCSF Institute for Human Genetics (IHG) serves as the hub for all activities in human genetics at the University of California, San Francisco.
OUR MISSION is to create an exciting, productive, and collaborative environment for research, training, and clinical application in human genetics.
Our faculty span all four schools (Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy), and many departments within those schools, reflecting the broad importance of human genetics both in basic scientific research and in modern day health care. The sequencing of the human genome, accompanied in recent years with the dramatic reduction in cost for obtaining an individual's genome sequence, augurs a new era in translational human genetics, impacting not only rare, Mendelian diseases but effectively all diseases affecting the human population. The IHG and its members intend to be in the forefront of these transformational developments.
Two IHG Members Receive Prestigious Honors
The IHG is proud to announce that Louis Ptáček will receive the American Society for Clinical Investigation's Stanley J. Korsmeyer Award and Ophir Klein will be awarded the E Mead Johnson Award from the Society for Pediatric Research.
Louis Ptáček, MD, PhD is a pioneer in the field of "channelopathies"— episodic and electrical disorders of muscle, heart and brain. He cloned the genes for all the familial periodic paralyses and proposed these rare muscle disorders as a model for pathogenesis of cardiac arrhythmias, epilepsy and migraine. This work has already led to better diagnosis and treatment of patients.
Ophir Klein, MD, PhD has worked at the interface of genetics, development, and evolutionary biology to advance our understanding of stem and progenitor cells. He has used the continuously-growing rodent incisor as a novel system for investigating mammalian stem cells, and his group has also made contributions to the biology of renewal in the intestine, tongue, and other organs.
Louis Ptáček will receive his award at the annual ASCI Meeting in April. Ophir Klein will receive his award at the annual Pediatric Academic Societies meeting in April.

Thanks MrsDutton2B (I've Emailed you)
CoutureBride, we have the Leasowe Castle on our 'list' and are going to the Showaround on the 25th

Hey Sophie
The outdoor ceremony areas at Thornton Manor at absolutely stunning, and I mean stunning!!
There are two, one for the Manor House, and one for the marquee. Depending on where you are having your reception will dictate which one you can have. I actually preferred the one for the manor house, but I am having the marquee, not that the marquee one isn't beautiful, it is just not as grand.
I wanted to get married outside, plus have a marquee, so there was only one option really, the Thornton Manor Estate. Thornton Hall up the road are also licensed for outdoor ceremonies and have some lovely locations in their grounds, so you should take a look there to. Alot cheaper than the manor too. Let me know how your appointment goes hun x

Hi Sophie, there's a few on the Wirral - I only went to 2 and tried on two dresses one of which I loved! Bellissima brides in Brimstage Hall is where I went and its owned by H2b's colleagues wife Laura! She was great and actually ordered a dress in for me! Have a look at their website.
I spent ages trawling the internet looking at different designers. There's also some good ones in West Kirby!
Happy Planning and congratualtions on booking your venue xx Liza

I'm getting married on 4 Dececember 2010 at the Athenaeum Club in Liverpool. It's right in the city centre and unless you know it's there you wouldn't notice it.
We wanted a really informal relaxed wedding and this place is perfect. I love the fact they don't have a wedding menu. We told them what we wanted and how much we wanted to spend and they came back with a price. Have to pay for hire but the food is so cheap it worked out cheaper than going to a hotel and paying for their set wedding menus. We've also got exclusive use so no randoms wandering in.

Hi Sophie!
Yep, we sure have. We had a meeting with Dave at Chapman Holmes last week and he was great! They event manage aswell as part of the package which is good, as they done us a whole 'plan' for our day etc, and they can provide as much input as you want with regards to organising other things. We are booked in for our food tasting on the 1st Oct, which is none obligatory and I can take both my mum and sister with me too! They have an extensive range of menu's from al la carte to carved buffet (which we have gone for - they are very very good!), and you get three complementary canapes per person, which we didn't know and has saved us £360! (It does not say this on the menu that you get given by the Manor).
I have also booked the Bridal Mews cottage for two nights, and the Manor gave me a 20% discount on the first night, so be sure to ask for this when booking your accomodation if your staying over (this still should apply to the Manor House I would imagine).
I am currently looking at hair and make up, and so far I have two people in mind, which I am waiting to hear back from. One is Jo Coole, who is offering early booking discounts for 2011, and the other is Nina Wren, who looks very good (she done Michelle Marsh's hair and makeup on celerity four weddings and her prices are the same as most others).
There is also a wedding shop called the Wedding Rooms in Formby that looks very good. They have everything under one roof (like the Wedding House in Liverpool) and I have seen tHE exact candelarbra that I want on their wesite so I am just wating for them to get back to me with prices etc!! x

Hi All
I'm getting married in 45 days!! 1st October 2010 at Soughton Hall in Northop but i'm originally from South Liverpool. Not many people know the venue which is actually part of its appeal and part of the reason I don't want to get married in Liverpool that and the fact the guest list would get WAY out of control with my parents!!
Thornton Manor is beautiful and I would love to have got married there but it was just too big for us but we've promised each other we'll have an anniversary party there one day instead!!
Combermere Abbey we looked at and again stunning gardens but to be honest if its raining there is absolutely no where to have your pictures taken other than a marquee. I was not about to pay that kind of money to just have my pictures in a marquee which could be anywhere. As I'm getting married early Oct the chances of rain are rather high I would imagine so I needed somewhere which offered a fall back option if the weather was rubbish.
Have a look at Soughton Hall in Northop - its a stunning 15 bedroom house privately owned. Worth a look anyway.
I've got most things booked now including entertainment, cars, mens suits, flowers, photographer but I'm struggling with Videographers but I'm going to have a look at the couple that you girls have recommended. I think its really hard cos you are putting your day in their hands and you can't re-create it afterwards.
Anymore ideas are very welcome and obviously after the day I can let you girls know what I thought of everyone I've booked and perhaps help you. I think I'm correct that I'm getting married first?

Mrs E,
Saughton Hall absolutely stunning!!! We went to view it but unfortunately they are not licensed for civil ceremonies outdoors, which was very important to us. Their marquee looked great though, and the drive up to the house s just gorgeous!!
Your wedding will be absolutely beautiful there. My sister is friends with the owner and I have heard very good things about the weddings there, apparently the team are very very good. Have you got hair and make up yet?? I am just trying to decide! x

Hi all. I have just got married and thought I'd share the people I used because I spent so long looking for good suppliers.
Flowers: Gordale, they were amazing.
Makeup and hair: Nicola Joyce Professional Makeup Artist (find on facebook) she was the nicest person and sooo reasonably priced. She stayed 3 hours on my makeup trial and re-did bits of it until I was happy. Same with hair, she won't charge you multiple trials, she does one until you are happy unlike many hairdressers. Can't praise her enough!
Dress: Opulence in West Kirby was brilliant for choice.
Cars: Chester wedding cars - the nicest cars and nicest people I've ever met!
Photographer: Fotografy J.Cardoso in Port Sunlight. He was amazing, took nearly 900 shots, he is a bit quirky and different and reasonably priced when compared to the rest. Everyone commented on how good he was.
Family friends did the video and cake.
Wedding stationery and sweet buffet: Made myself and loved doing it that much I'm in the process of setting up my own company to make stationery for brides and do sweet buffets and also to teach brides how to make their own invites as I think a lot of people like to do that to save some pennies.
I noticed that there really aren't a lot of options on the Wirral when I was looking so hopefully there is a space for me too!
If I can help with anything else let me know!

Hi girls, I am also a thornton manor bride. I now live in Lancashire but always wanted to get married at home so we're having the ceremony at the local church where i was brought up in Knowsley Village, its a gorgeous little village church and then we are having our reception in the manor house at Thornton Manor. Bit of a drive but will be worth it. We originally looked at Knowsley Hall but decided it was too expensive which is funny since Thornton Manor ended up costing more but once i saw it i didn't care!!!
I totally know what you mean about the owner Philip but i agree that the place is just so beautiful i wouldn't let it bother me! We are getting married in June 2012 so haven't sorted much yet except for the photographer. We are having atmosferik and we got 20% discount for booking early plus he was the photographer at a wedding where i was a bridesmaid and he was really excellent and you hardly knew he was there.
Haven't got a clue where to start looking at dresses etc but sure it'll be fun when i do. Im hoping to book peaches and cream for hair and make up. They can be pricey but ive used them before and they are amazing. You can also have them stay at your venue all day (til 8pm at night) so you and all your guests can have make up top ups!!
Will look forward to chatting to other Liverpool/Wirral brides and hopefully lots of swapping tips! xxxxx

It improves only the possibility of another injuries
I hope his game will be in top level against Djokovic and Roger at Roland Garros
Barcelona is Nadal's favourite tournament (his hometown Mallorca is an island off the coast of Barcelona, thus, that's like the home tournament for him) and Madrid is the biggest tournament in Spain, so he's under the pressure to play there. He had a W/O both in Barcelona and Madrid so it's not really that tiring. It's only because he and Djokovic had a very long battle in SF that cost him the title in Madrid. He has a whole week to recover and with Slam, he has dayoff every other day so it's really no big deal.

Lukasz Kubot reached final in Serbia (lost to Djokovic 3:6,6:7), he was LL, but showed very solid tennis. Now he is playing in FO qualies and beat his first opponent.
I watched the final and was very impressed with Kubot. If he stays consistent, he will jump up the ranking of ATP real fast. Good luck in RG for him.

text: This could be a case of TLR-to-SLR-MF syndrome. Those TLR's with their leaf shutters give very sharp results with little effort, but MF SLRs need more attention to get the same sharpness. My first MF camera was a Yashica D that always focuses right, then I upgraded to Pentax 6x7 and got many out-of-focus shots especially the first few rolls. Now with extra effort the pentax is giving sharper results. So may be all you need is more time with the 500c until you figure it out. Or you can borrow a hassy and run a roll with it. If the results turn out to be good then you know for sure that your 500 is the culprit.

The face of retirement has changed for many of your clients, and Social Security has become the cornerstone for their standard of living. It is now common knowledge in financial planning that making the right Social Security claiming decision can mean more money in benefits. But financial professionals continue to view Social Security as not much more than another stream of retirement income, when its far more than that. The right claiming strategy coordinated with how and when they spend down their portfolio can mean hundreds of thousands more in retirement dollars.
Join us for this webinar where you will learn about new research and cutting edge technology to get the most in retirement income for your clients.

Bulls' Noah the Defensive Player of the Year
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. (AP) — There were some emotional moments and some funny stories as Joakim Noah accepted the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year award on Monday, like this one.
The Chicago Bulls' center recalled a grueling workout with coach Tom Thibodeau.
"I told Thibs, 'If we weren't winning games, I would really, really hate you,'" he said. "And he said, 'Trust me, Jo, I feel the same way about you.'"
Noah laughed. So did Thibodeau.
With their drive and desire, those two are in many ways a perfect match. And when it came to this year's award, it was no contest.
Noah got 100 of a possible 125 first-place votes from a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters and wound up with 555 points.
Indiana's Roy Hibbert (166 points, eight first-place votes) and the Los Angeles Clippers' DeAndre Jordan (121 points, eight first-place votes) came in second and third, respectively.
"This is very humbling to be in this situation right now," Noah said as his famous father Yannick, his mom, his sisters and brother all watched from the front row.
He told coach Tom Thibodeau: "Without your system, this wouldn't be possible."
The only other Bulls player to win the award was Michael Jordan in 1988. Besides joining the greatest player in franchise history, Noah's name gets added to an impressive list of centers to take the honor. It includes stars such as Hakeem Olajuwon, Dikembe Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning, David Robinson, Dwight Howard.
And now, Noah.
The recognition comes after Noah helped Chicago win 48 games and earn home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs despite losing Derrick Rose to a season-ending knee injury and trading away Luol Deng.
The Bulls won more games than any other Eastern Conference team after New Year's Eve before stumbling in the postseason opener against Washington. Game 2 is Tuesday, another test for a team and a player who have passed their share.
Noah had some issues with teammates and coaches after he was drafted out of Florida in 2007. But there's little question who the team's most valuable player was this season.
When the Bulls looked like they might fall apart, Noah kept them together. The irony is the defensive player award comes at a time when he's getting as much praise for his ability on offense, a weakness his first few years in the league.
Noah averaged career highs of 12.6 points, 11.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists. He's a focal point on offense and one of the league's best passing big men, with the ball often being funneled through him. He also remains their anchor on defense with his ability to cover ground and rotate onto smaller players in pick-and-roll situations creates havoc for opponents. He averaged 1.5 blocks.
"It's been really fun for all of his to watch him and his game evolve and grow over the years," general manager Gar Forman said. "He's a competitor. He's passionate. He's intelligent and he's a leader. But along with that, what Joakim probably is is the best teammate that I've had a chance to witness in the 16 years that I've been with the Chicago Bulls."

Rated 4.6 out of 5Â by 307 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Bama55 Summer shorts This is my 2nd pair of these shorts. They are nice enough to dress up with a short sleeve button down or can make casual with t-shirt. June 16, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Arts22 Looks Great at First Wear I was very disappointed after the first wash. The Cargo Shorts lost all form and just looked old. Maybe this is the relaxed look but to me it just looked cheap. June 15, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by JeffT7 Key Grip Cargo, pockets too close?? Okay, I have several pair of the Key Grip cargo shorts because the cargo pockets are flat, not big and floppy. They look much dressier. My only question, am I the only one that thinks the back pockets are too close to each other? Whenever I reach for my wallet I wish my are was longer!! June 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Dee67 Great shorts for any occasion. These shorts have great styling and stand out from the crowd of solid color shorts and yet is not in the least bit loud. Very cool looking. June 8, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5Â by wkiesel Poor quality I have had these shorts just over a month and they are already wearing badly and have developed a hole in them. Not the kind of quality one would expect for the price of these shorts, very disappointing. June 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Jamie512 best TB shorts yet!!! Have been a fan of Tommy Bahama shorts for a long time...but these new cargo shorts are dressy and casual and easy to take care of...I know dressy cargo...firstly pockets are hidden and the shorts are dressy...and I can wash them...no dry clean for these and I can't lie I really appreciate that...have two pair and very pleased... June 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by RickP Perfect Comfort The material is soft and comfortable. The shorts stay looking nice, even after hours of wearing. I have these shorts in various colors and always feel I look good when wearing any of them. Dressy - but not too dressy. Relaxed - but not too relaxed. Perfect for any occasion. June 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by retailrecruiter Great looking product; lot's of compliments Like all my Tommy Bahama products, a great fitting product. The color was exactly as displayed. Looks great, washes great, feels great; it's great! June 5, 2015

Marco Mazzieri
From BR Bullpen
Marco Mazzieri
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Born December 20, 1962 in Grosseto, Tuscany Italy
Marco Mazzieri became manager of the Italian national team in 2007.
Mazzieri played from 1980-2000 for Grosseto as an outfielder, helping them to two titles in Serie A1. The only exceptions are the 1991 season when he played for Calze Verdi Casalecchio, and two years for Fortitudo Bologna (1992-1993).
He hit .297/.403/.400 in his career and stole 234 bases in 305 tries, scoring 958 runs over 1,022 games. Mazzieri played 87 games for the Italian national team as well.
Mazzieri played for Italy in the 1986 Amateur World Series, 1988 Baseball World Cup (hitting .200/.308/.200 and handling 30 chances error-free in center field), 1989 Intercontinental Cup and 1990 Baseball World Cup (0 for 6 with a walk).
Marco coached for Grosseto, leading them to the semifinals in 2002.
Mazzieri managed the Italian junior national team to a European title in 2005. Two years later, he replaced Giampiero Faraone as manager of the senior national team after a disappointing 7th-place finish in the 2007 European Championship.
Mazzieri guided Italy to a 3-4 record in the 2007 Baseball World Cup. They were the only team to beat the Gold Medalist Team USA but they lost their last three games to miss the quarterfinals.
Mazzieri was skipper of Italy in the 2009 World Baseball Classic and then took them to the title in the 2010 European Championship, their first Gold Medal in the event since 1997. He continued to lead Italy in the 2010 Intercontinental Cup (a Bronze, their first Medal ever in a global tournament), the 2011 Baseball World Cup, 2012 European Championship (another Gold), 2013 World Baseball Classic (stunning Mexico to make it to the second round) and 2014 European Championship.
Mazzieri has also been a Europe scout for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

I love Sh!t on a Shingle.
I had quite enough of that in the army.
I'm sure yours tastes better than what I had. :(
Chipped beef and sauce over toast isn't bad, but boy, they could've named it better...;)
When my Dad was in the Navy Seabees (construction unit) stationed on Guadalcanal in 1942-1943, they had to eat sh_t on a shingle almost every day..but, at least it was a "hot meal"...The Marines on Guadalcanal didn't get "hot chow" & had to eat C-rations;;. so my Dad & the other Seabees would lend the Marines their Navy hats so they could sneak into the Navy chow lines & eat hot food, (usually SOS)..
My mom always said '**** on a stick' or 'Boiled farts and pickled toenails' if we asked what was for dinner....We were classy like that....haha
something on something?
One of my favorites when I was in the navy.
Everyone over 50 knows about sh*t on shingles...usually beef in a cream gravy over toast.
you mean sauce , right? ;)
Creamed Chipped Beef. On toast.
We called that " scabs on toast "

Carnahan Cracks Down on Senior Advisor Preying on Elderly Missourian
Jefferson City, Missouri Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahans office issued a Cease and Desist Order against Certified Senior Advisor Terry W. Simpkins, of Lake Sherwood, Mo., for giving inappropriate investment advice to an elderly woman who has since been diagnosed with Alzheimers disease.
Simpkins, who is not registered to sell securities or offer investment advice, allegedly recommended that a 75-year-old from Columbia, Mo., move her money out of bank accounts, certificates of deposit, stocks and mutual funds and into annuities. One of those annuities was an equity indexed annuity that locked up her money for 15 years, had sizable surrender penalties for taking the money out early and paid large commissions to Simpkins.
Simpkins, who is affiliated with the firm Wealth Protection Advisors, uses the title "Certified Senior Advisor." Titles like this imply special knowledge or training in senior investment issues, but often the only training a "senior specialist" has is on how to sell to seniors. Secretary Carnahan's office recently filed a rule that would crackdown on people who improperly use these "senior specialist" titles.
"It's important to remember that just because someone claims a professional sounding designation, that doesn't mean they are highly qualified professionals looking out for your best interest," said Carnahan. "Many of these designations prove only that the individual knows how to use marketing techniques to prey on seniors."
Simpkins allegedly recommended the equity indexed annuity even though he knew his client may need ready access to her funds for medical purposes. As a result, the Missouri resident had to pay over $12,000 in surrender fees when she needed her money to move into an assisted living facility.
The woman's daughter stated that her mother suffered from arthritis, diabetes and heart arrhythmia and was often confused and forgetful about financial matters. The elderly investor has subsequently been diagnosed as suffering from a series of strokes and Alzheimer's disease. Simpkins has thirty days to respond to the order and request a hearing.

I think he wants to constantly play with the "high end" consumer routers all of the time which may have added features that the low end routers don't have, or have better network capabilities/throughput. I haven't seen a $30 router support a gigabit internet/wan connection for example.
this is more where I am at.... I am not claiming this to be rational or necessary in any way. Playing with new routers and electronics is how I get my kick.

Jail officials: Inmate attempted suicide
Guard found man with restraints around his neck
Nueces County Jail officials are investigating an attempted suicide Thursday morning that resulted in the inmate's hospitalization.
Nueces County Sheriff Jim Kaelin said Thursday afternoon the prisoner, 47-year-old Roberto Garcia, used restraint chains in an attempt to strangle himself.
"It's still baffling to me how he can have his hands and feet in wrist and ankle shackles and be able to contort his position to get (the chains) around his neck as we found him," Kaelin said.
Garcia, arrested Monday after a domestic dispute, was taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial. Spohn spokeswoman Sherry Carr-Deer said she could not give a condition report on Garcia because he is listed as a no-information patient.
Sheriff's department spokesman Stan Repka said restraint chains were placed on Garcia -- who Kaelin said was on a suicide watch at the jail -- after he ran out of his cell earlier Thursday morning when an officer opened it to check on him.
Kaelin said a correctional officer who showed up at Garcia's cell at 9:10 a.m. Thursday to take him to a psychological assessment found Garcia unconscious near the toilet of his cell.
The jail's medical staff performed CPR on Garcia before Emergency Medical Service technicians drove him to the hospital. Kaelin said he was placed on suicide watch when he arrived at the jail because he threatened to hurt himself.
Kaelin said deputies checked Garcia's cell every 15 minutes, and added the sheriff's department is continuing to investigate. He said no officers at the jail have been placed on administrative leave because of the incident, saying there is no indication that anyone violated any of the jail's rules or policies.
"I can't give you a head count but there are lots of people in our jail that are on suicide watch," Kaelin said. "We have over 900 inmates in that jail and many of them are depressed. This was one individual, like many others in the jail, on a suicide watch."

Shop It To Me updates each member's Threads daily with the best item matches from more than 150 leading online retailers, including department store sites, specialty retailer sites, online boutiques and outlets. When users visit their Threads landing page, they get a personalized snapshot of what's new and notable that day, including new markdowns, deep discounts or unusual amounts of inventory on things they love.
Shoppers can keep preferences fresh by adding or removing Threads with one click, changing a Thread's criteria such a maximum price, and getting suggestions for other Threads that are popular among members with similar tastes.
"Retail's best shopping associates don't just watch you from afar and then guess what you want, nor do they ambush you with what your mom or friend just bought," said Charlie Graham, founder and CEO of Shop It To Me. "The best personal shoppers invest in knowing you individually, so they can cherry-pick just those items you really want to see. Shop It To Me Threads succeeds because of our focus on 'getting you' as an individual."
"While we're just in the early days of Threads' potential as a personal shopping platform, we're excited to make it available in public Beta for holiday 2012," addEd Graham. "It's an indispensable tool shoppers can use to save them the work of digging across multiple sites to find what they want, and gives them a place to check daily for a snapshot of what matters to him or her personally."
