The San Francisco 49ers made it to the NFC Championship Game and made it to the Super Bowl in the first two years of the Jim Harbaugh regime; and they are looking to take the next step in year three—win the Super Bowl.
However, history is not on their side. The last franchise to go on to win the Super Bowl after losing in it the previous year was the 1972 Miami Dolphins—Mercury Morris reminds of that team every year when the last undefeated team of the season loses.
In fact, five of the last six NFC teams that lost the Super Bowl did not make the playoffs the next season—the 2008 Arizona Cardinals being the exception.
These are the five questions the 49ers must answer correctly this off-season in order to buck this trend. If they indeed answer these questions, they could be the first Super Bowl loser to go on and win the Super Bowl the next season since the 1972 Dolphins.

We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
This video shows you how to replace a burnt out rear turn signal on your 2004 Nissan Murano. We recommend that you change both the driver and passenger side bulbs at the same time on your Murano as they get dimmer over time and if one is out, then the other one is likely to burn out soon. If the turn signal (also known as a blinker or flasher) blinks rapidly or doesn't blink at all or lights up without blinking when it is turned on, this is your Murano's way of telling you that the bulb is burnt out. Turn your hazard lights on and check the front of your Murano and then the back, whichever side is not lighting up is the side with the burnt out bulb.
When changing the turn signal bulb in your Murano, be careful not to touch the glass portion of the bulb with your fingers as this will cause the bulb to burn out prematurely.

This past weekend, which included the U.S. Memorial Day holiday, delivered a little bit of every kind of weather. It was outrageously hot on Saturday (a May 28 record-setting 92 degrees) but the temperature plummeted through the night and Sunday found us back in our sweaters, closing all the windows that had only just been opened. Monday was less cool, but started off with a drenching downpour. A little of everything, as I said.
So our weekend also included a little of everything. We were hosting family (my mother-in-law) and friends (two college roommates from New York and San Francisco), and on Saturday we jumped on a ferry to George's Island, one of several islands in the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. The ride, which offers great views of the city, takes about 40 minutes and delivers you to a place that seems both far from the city and also, if you gaze over the water, close to it.
Yesterday, yielding to the soggy morning conditions, we zipped off to the Museum of Fine Arts, only to find a zillion of our fellow art lovers waiting in line on a free-admission day. We're members, so in we went, and we made a beeline for Megacities Asia, an innovative exhibit that evoked the changing nature of several of Asia's biggest cities. Here's an example, from Seoul:
The idea is that not everything that is green is truly "green." If you're from the U.S. or from Korea, you'll probably seem some products you recognize.
The MFA is consistently named among the best art museums in the U.S. It's a gem, with several extraordinary collections and I highly recommend a visit while you're here.
I'm sure I'll be back with more of the local activities that my husband, Paul, and I pursue through the summer. Stay tuned!]]>
At [...]]]>
At yesterday's retreat, we focused primarily on topics that won't have an obvious effect on 2017 applicants, but there are a couple of points worth noting. First is that we'll probably keep our essay questions as they are. Second is that we will now ask applicants to select no more than ten trips to include in the travel/study abroad/international living section of the application. Requiring (or even inviting) everyone to list every trip meant a lot of questions about how to deal with multiple-country trips or multiple trips to a single country. And it also meant that half of the online reader view of the application might be occupied by lists of trips. (Of course, information about multiple international living experiences will still be of interest to us.)
We also talked about tweaks to the interview schedule, now that we have a year of experience with Skype interviews behind us. The biggest challenge is helping applicants to understand that they need to arrange their interview appointments early. By the time December rolls around, there are no appointments to be had. That's an ongoing challenge for us!
Over the summer, I might write less than usual, but I'll be thinking about new 2016-2017 blog offerings. I welcome your suggestions! Share them in the comments section below or, if you prefer, send us a note. I love reading your good ideas!
Meanwhile, today's post is number 1500 for the Admissions Blog! Sure, many of those 1500 were reminders of deadlines, restatements of application procedures, or other short updates. But as I said for number 1000 and after number 500, we in the Admissions Office appreciate the opportunity that keeping a blog has offered us to connect with and offer substantive information to our applicants and incoming students. As we motor on toward the 2000th post, thank you for reading!]]>
Meanwhile, with nearly all students on their way to see family or start internships or freshly graduated and off to new things, Fletcher is a quiet place. We'll enjoy the quiet for a while, until we start wishing the students would come back to keep us company. But first, a day away to figure out our next steps. The office will be closed today. We'll be back tomorrow (Wednesday).
On an only barely related note, have I mentioned that my daughter, Kayla, was one of the many Tufts students to complete the undergraduate program with Commencement on Sunday? No, I believe I haven't. Kayla has been an occasional character in the blog, when I felt that her application process related in some way to the Fletcher process, when she did something that might interest Fletcher-ish folks, or simply when she accompanied me for a donut around town. She has earned her shout-out moment! Congratulations to Kayla, and to all your fellow Jumbos!]]>
And hate is a strong word. The wrong word, in fact. I certainly don't hate Commencement, but I am annually struck by the bittersweet nature of the event. We in Admissions know that our closest Fletcher friends will be with us for only a couple of years, but we treasure them while they're here. Admissions Ambassadors, members of the Admissions Committee, Interview Volunteers, and our amazing Graduate Assistants (looking at you, David and Moni!) — the students who keep us in the know about the heart of life at Fletcher. We so enjoy interacting with them, and we're sorry that our relationship will change.
But change it must, as they transition from students to alumni. And all we can hope (expect! demand!) is that they will stay in touch.
So, to my friends in the Class of 2016, keep us posted! Drop a line now and then. "Friend" us. Link us in. We want to hear from you. After all, the true satisfaction in Admissions work comes at the far end, when we send you off into the world to do those things you wrote about in your application essays. I can't wait to receive your updates!
For now, BIG congratulations to you and your families, and all best wishes as you move along to your post-Fletcher life!]]>
Following this 2015-2016 academic year, Alan K. Henrikson, the Lee E. Dirks Professor of Diplomatic History, and Fletcher's Director [...]]]>
Following this 2015-2016 academic year, Alan K. Henrikson, the Lee E. Dirks Professor of Diplomatic History, and Fletcher's Director of Diplomatic Studies, will conclude his 44-year teaching career at Fletcher and move on to whatever comes next. Professor Henrikson has taught U.S. foreign policy to international and U.S. students alike, acquiring a very loyal and devoted following among current students and alumni.
I would describe Professor Henrikson as singularly dedicated to the art of teaching. I aim to make a distinction here between simply being a great teacher (there are many of them at Fletcher) and putting teaching at the center of everything. It is in that devotion to the classroom that Professor Henrikson is the leader among his peers.
At the end of the fall semester, the last one in which he would teach DHP D200: Diplomacy: History, Theory, and Practice, Professor Henrikson shared two things with his colleagues on the faculty. The first was the text of his final exam for the class, and the second was a photo. He noted:
As you will see, if you have a chance to look through the examination paper, Diplomacy 200, which I think of as the cornerstone of diplomatic studies at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, "covers" nearly all of the subjects we teach at the School — and, I believe, in an integrating and integrated way. The students draw from other fields in which they are working, as well as from their own national-cultural and personal experiences. And, I hope, they bring a diplomatic (and diplomatic-historical) understanding back to their intellectual and other activities in those fields, now and in their future professional careers and lives.
Several members of the faculty responded to Professor Henrikson's email and I would like to share a few of the responses. (Note that several current professors were once Fletcher students.)
Professor Diana Chigas, F88: As an alum of D200, I can say that it was an influential course in my Fletcher education, both because of its integrated and historical perspective, and because of the infectious nature of your obvious love for diplomatic history and your commitment to your students.
Professor Ian Johnstone: I saw some of your past exams and was always impressed by the depth and scope, as well as by the way you integrate history and current events. You outdid yourself this time! That course is a foundation for so much of what we do at the School. It is hard to imagine you won't be teaching it again.
Professor Sulmaan Khan: I agree with Ian, Alan. It's hard to imagine Fletcher and our broader curriculum without your teaching.
Professor Antonia Chayes: Reading your complex and erudite exam, I can only regret that I never had the chance to take your course. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Dean Bhaskar Chakravorti: I will write an essay response to one of your prompts (too tempting to let them go) and will struggle with knotting my bow tie over the holidays in honor of the passing of an era.
Kathleen Ryan, F87, director of the Office of Development and Alumni Relations: Also as an alum of D200, I love seeing this — both the bow ties and the test. Really glad I took the test when I did! You cannot know how much you mean to so many former students. A legend. So thrilled that you will be giving the Friday night lecture to kick off the reunion in May. Sure to be wonderful!
Professor Leila Fawaz: A lovely tribute for a cherished teacher. I am very glad you shared the wonderful photo with us. We appreciate all you had done for us all at the School and the University.
Professor Elizabeth Prodromou, F83: Thank you for sharing this message and photo, both of which speak to the intellectual excitement, graciousness, and civility, which are your continuing legacy to generations Fletcher students (including many of us among them!).
In a note to me, Professor Prodromou further wrote: "He leaves an extraordinary legacy at Fletcher — his was an approach to teaching, learning, and scholarship that is rooted in a classic understanding of education as a experience in becoming a fuller, enlightened, inquisitive, and alive human being."
And now the photo from his final D200 class, which will explain all the above references to bow ties, an Alan Henrikson trademark look.
Professor Henrikson will address the community, including this year's graduates and alumni visiting for their reunion, tomorrow afternoon, on the topic of "Fletcher: A Great Place to Teach." I will miss running into Alan Henrikson in the hallways and I wish him the very best. But I'll give the final word to Frances Burke, one of Professor Henrikson's students this year. When I asked her for her thoughts, Frances wrote:
Whether sitting in Professor Henrikson's "Diplomacy" class or his U.S. Foreign Relations classes, every moment was a treasure. His depth of knowledge was, of course, daunting, as each comment on a historical period cascaded into the details of a particular statesman, or comments on esoteric cartography, or asides regarding a special envoy, or opinions on a crucial summit. Most of us left lectures awestruck by our own ignorance. Professor Henrikson's deep, deep knowledge of American history and foreign policy was illuminated by his obvious adoration for his subjects. During one class, when describing reportage emerging from the Spanish Civil War, he paused to sing a song of the resistance, concluded by a sweet smile and trademark laugh. You could see how much he loved his calling. His departure rips a great hole in the grand tapestry of Fletcher teaching, as he so vibrantly twined the threads of history, diplomacy, and foreign relations in a way only a truly gifted teacher can do.]]>

Curriculum Overview
Semester One
Foundations in Financial Accounting and Corporate Finance
Financial Statement Management
Strategic Management (½ credit, Summer pre-session)
Managerial Economics
The Arts of Communication
Climate Change and Clean Energy Policy
Managing Operations in Global Companies: How the World's Best Companies Operate (Audit)
My first semester was all about laying the groundwork for a meaningful time at Fletcher. The core MIB classes, especially Finance, helped our cohort develop the key business skills necessary to be successful at Fletcher and beyond. Perhaps more importantly, taking a few classes as a group really brought the MIB class together, which has been invaluable both academically and personally. I also greatly enjoyed my elective classes like Communication and Clean Energy Policy, as mentioned in previous posts, and the professors have turned into great mentors over time.
Semester Two
International Business Strategy & Operations
Marketing Management
Political Economy & Business of the EU
Engineering, Economics, and Regulation of the Electric Power Sector (at MIT)
Global Private Equity: From Money In to Money Out (Audit)
In my second semester, I finished up my MIB requirements and started to delve deeper into my energy concentration. My business classes felt very much like B-School, in terms of the content they covered and the hard skills they built, with one big difference: I was taking them at an international affairs school. As such, my professors and classmates brought an incredible depth and breadth of international experience to bear, and the policy context was always discussed. I also took an enlightening Electric Power Sector class with a bunch of engineers at MIT, which really got me into the nitty-gritty details of how power systems work. Also, Fletcher's Center for International Environment and Resource Policy sponsored me to go to an energy conference at which I was able to wrangle an internship during the semester at Commonwealth Bay, a wind-energy private equity firm, where I performed market analysis and due diligence on wind projects.
Summer Internship
BlueWave Renewables
One of my professors introduced me to BlueWave Renewables, a solar-energy developer, where I got an exciting opportunity to apply what I had been learning in my classes and to gain further exposure to the thriving cleantech ecosystem in Boston. As discussed in my previous post, I helped build out a platform for community solar, a new business model designed to bring solar to the three quarters of Americans who cannot own their own solar panels. Thanks to my business and energy classes, I was able to hit the ground running and make an impact in a short period of time.
Semester Three
International Business Transactions
Large Investment and International Project Finance
Petroleum in the Global Economy
Leadership: Building Teams, Organizations, and Shaping Your Path
The Art and Science of Statecraft
The third semester was my first opportunity to truly cast a wide net across the amazing diversity of classes offered at Fletcher. International Business Transactions covered topics such as contract law, which, although it may sound dry, is where "the rubber hits the road" in business; I discovered this when I was starting a business in Ethiopia, and it is one of the reasons I decided to come to Fletcher. Project Finance and Petroleum complemented each other very well, and contributed to my Field of Study requirements. Leadership, which was taught by a great professor on loan from the Harvard Business School, provided a valuable soft-skill counterpoint to more analytical courses I had taken so far. Finally, Statecraft was an interesting foray into the mental models of one of our well-known professors, renowned equally for his colorful analogies and for his direct language. On top of all this, I also worked with the wonderful Fletcher Social Investment Group to lead a team of classmates on a consulting engagement for EverVest, a renewable energy financial analysis software startup.
Semester Four
Energy, Entrepreneurship, and Finance
International Energy Policy
Political Economy and Business Context of Latin America
International Financial Management
Management, Finance, and Regulation of Public Infrastructure in Developing Countries (at Harvard)
My fourth and final semester has been great because the foundation I have built up over the last year and a half has enabled me to engage with the material in a way I could not have done before. My two energy classes are a nice culmination to the thrust of my studies here, and indeed they provide timely input as I wrap up my thesis for the capstone requirement. International Financial Management, affectionately dubbed "Jacques Deux" after the French-American professor who has taught a notorious regimen of finance classes for decades, proved to be as difficult and enlightening as promised. The Infrastructure class at the Harvard Kennedy School has provided another good perspective on the matter, and a chance to meet new like-minded people. Finally, I have supplemented my studies by conducting energy policy research for a Fletcher alumnus at EnergySage, an online marketplace for solar.
I am excited by my prospects post-Fletcher, but know that I will be sad to leave this place. Throughout my two years here, I have had the pleasure to work with supportive professors and a diverse yet cohesive set of classmates. As demonstrated above, Fletcher has also consistently opened doors for me, both at other top-tier schools and at cool companies. I know I will look back fondly on my time here, and now understand more and more why the Fletcher community is so strong.]]>
Claudia Ortiz (Mexico) has [...]]]>
Claudia Ortiz (Mexico) has worked for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) since 2013, when she joined as Regional Technical Specialist on Climate Change Adaptation in the regional hub for Asia-Pacific in Bangkok, Thailand. She is now based in UNDP headquarters in New York, acting as climate finance policy advisor and project manager of the Global Green Climate Fund Readiness Programme. Before UNDP, Claudia worked with the Climate Change Team at the Global Environment Facility of the World Bank, in Washington, DC.
Earlier in her career, she supported the development of Mexico's first Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions for the cement and iron and steel sectors at the Center for Clean Air Policy in Washington, DC and worked at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, Sub-regional Office in Ankara, Turkey, where she undertook research on energy policy and environmental issues in Central Asia.
It has been almost six years since I graduated from Fletcher. I still regard the opportunity to study there as one of the best in my life: it changed the way I see the world, transformed my career, and allowed me to meet some of the most remarkable people, with very diverse backgrounds. From the very first day of Orientation, students are constantly reminded that our most important allies are in the student and alumni community itself. Besides this backbone virtue of the School, students are also reminded (as in the Mission and Impact statement) that as international affairs professionals, we ought to be "committed to maintaining the stability and prosperity of a complex, challenging and increasingly global society," — in other words (or, as I interpret it), we are meant to be "global citizens."
As global citizens, we let go of nationalistic or self-interests. Rather we exercise collaboration and compassion, as we seek to become agents of improvement for the global society, including the most vulnerable populations in it. And, as global citizens, we are led by our never-ending hunger to explore, travel, and experience different cultures.
This concept resonates well for me with the cause to which I have dedicated my career since Fletcher graduation: to support developing countries' access to international climate finance for initiatives, projects and programs that address climate risks. Climate change must not be regarded an "environmental" problem. To label it that way would be misleading, as it places emphasis on the risk being posed to ecosystems or natural habitats. In reality, it is the human species and human development gains that are most at risk and are being severely impacted by climate change in the form of food insecurity, forced migration, destruction of infrastructure, loss of livelihoods, etc. Climate change is therefore a global development problem which does not recognize political boundaries and one which cannot be solved by acting in isolation; international diplomacy has a significant role to play.
Today, it is evident that diplomacy driven by recognition of the universal threat of climate change, but also by emphasizing the needs of the most vulnerable populations on Earth, has succeeded in shifting the climate change paradigm. In December 2015, the diplomatic efforts of over 150 heads of state and their delegations resulted in an unprecedented Climate Agreement, reached at the 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. For the first time in history, there is global recognition that climate change is a common concern of humankind, whereby all the world's economies need to act together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase resilience to climate change impacts. Decades have been spent in breaching the gap between achieving economic growth through the use of cheaper fossil fuels and the urgent need to enhance resilience to climate change, especially in the poorest countries. We are a privileged generation to witness a huge step in this direction.
As an officer of the United Nations, I function as an "international civil servant." I am not to respond to any government's instructions (or those of any other source that is not the UN) as I carry out my duties; rather, I am supposed to bring forward only the interests of the UN. Applying this principle has proven to be crucial for my work given that, for the past three years, I have served the governments of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ghana, Benin, Colombia, Nepal, Fiji, and others, but not yet my native Mexico. I have realized that the only way to thrive in different cultures or contexts while achieving common social, environmental or development objectives is by maintaining impartiality and independence. This is, of course, challenging, as we are all calibrated to operate based on our own cultural norms, traditions, and pre-conceived ideas. I admit that only by living the experience itself have I been able to "adapt" quickly to unknown contexts, while still managing to get the work done.
Evidently, Fletcher was the perfect launching platform for my current job with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and my former position in the World Bank, another institution where staff uphold the same principles of impartiality and of a global mindset. Fletcher is a microcosm where the exact same principles are enforced, not only to excel in the very demanding, inter-disciplinary curriculum but also to succeed as a member of the ever-present Fletcher community. As students, we would consciously work, discuss, and even debate respectfully, without prejudice. We established long-lasting friendships with people we never imagined we would. I proudly say that Fletcher prepared us to confront the most compelling global challenges by making us realize that solutions can only be reached through diplomacy and collaborative action, because as citizens of ONE planet we cannot regard challenges to be the problem of "the other," but rather, these problems and their solutions must be assumed as "our own."]]>
On an April weekend evening, [...]]]>
On an April weekend evening, for the first time in my life, I stuck my face in a pie. It felt funny, but tasted really good. Sadly, there was no time to savor the chunky apple filling because I only had a minute to eat as much of it as I could — without using my hands — as my friends watched and cheered. While struggling to finish, I learned an important lesson: having dinner before entering a pie-eating contest is not the best idea. (In my defense, the barbequed chicken, mac and cheese, and corn bread served earlier were hard to resist.) I lost, but the experience is one I will likely remember fondly for many years to come. A few minutes later, I was all cleaned up and back on stage for my first-ever swing dance performance, which was reminiscent of scenes from the 1978 Hollywood blockbuster, Grease. April is a particularly busy time of the year, so I hardly had time to practice, but a few lessons from my very talented classmates made me performance-worthy. Or so I hope. And thankfully, the motion didn't trigger my digestive tract into reverse action.
Like the four culture nights before it, Americana Night, the last one for the year, was a huge success. Culture nights have been one of the highlights of my Fletcher experience, and I'm proud to have performed in all but one of them. Performances feature students in dances, songs, fashion shows, poetry recitals, trivia quizzes, and skits that give their classmates a glimpse of the region being honored. And the variety of ethnic food that's served gets us lined up in a queue that often wraps the entire venue. The year kicked off with Asia Night in October. Given the region's rich diversity, the evening's entertainment ranged from Indonesian pop songs to classical Nepalese dance. I participated in a Bollywood dance segment, and it was heartening to see the enthusiasm with which my international friends learned each step. Their bhangra moves would easily put many of my friends back home in Pakistan to shame.
Fiesta Latina in November was my personal favorite because I got to learn salsa. It's something I had always wanted to do, so I was particularly diligent about practice, and ended up performing better than I had expected.
Mediterranean & European Night in February saw performances ranging from flamenco and belly dance to dabke, hora, and even a chest-hair competition. I sang a French pop song with a group of Francophone friends. People who asked me afterward were surprised to learn that I don't speak French. At Africana Night in March, it was good to only be a part of the audience for a change and watch my classmates perform dances like batuku and kuduro while enjoying goat curry and injera.
Not only do culture nights celebrate the diversity of our community in a manner that is inclusive and fun, they're a Fletcher tradition that reflects the school's spirit like few other events do. On the one hand students take ownership of the cultural traditions they are most familiar with to ensure things are done right; on the other, they sign up to learn whatever they find exciting. Performance leaders generously lend their time to teach and practice with their peers until they're ready to be on stage. We also lend and borrow ethnic clothing items to help each other build outfits and costumes for performances. In many ways, culture nights embody what Fletcher represents: learning through engaging and sharing, and having a good time doing it.

Advertising: Terrific new Guardian advert by BBH is a shed-fire hit
Afternoon dragging a bit? Crying out for some LOLZ? Alrighty then. The Guardian has treated us to some impressive ads before (notably in the multi-award-winning Three Little Pigs) and by jove they've done it again. Ahead of a special issue this weekend packed full of suggestions for things to see and do, this spot from BBH London warns of the perils of trying to do EVERYTHING they recommend yourself. In one, long panning shot the piece unfolds as we see the results of one man's overreaching folly, and there's a lovely pay-off with an early contender for slogan of the year. Shed's on fire!

Status Quo, Brighton Centre | New music reviews, news & interviews
Status Quo, Brighton Centre
The perennial 12-bar blues rockers lay on a pre-Christmas treat
It is quite a sight to see your children doing the heads down Quo boogie but, by the time the band reach "Whatever You Want", that is exactly where my daughters, aged 14 and nine, are at. The rest of the Brighton Centre, not sold out but respectably full, is on its feet too. Just beside us a well-preserved man of around 70 is going completely bananas, shirt open, sweat pouring off. The majority of the crowd are in their sixties, perhaps even their late sixties, but by this stage of the gig a good portion of their decorum has been thrown to the wind in favour of shimmying like sassy teenagers in a biker bar.
I took my daughters along as a pre-Christmas treat, their first gig (although they've been to many festivals) because the Quo feel like a family affair. The tour is entitled Quofestive which sounds like an all-ages event, a pantomime even. Sure, next summer they're touring their "Frantic Four" classic Seventies line-up, but tonight's band is venerable enough, core Quo members Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt alongside keyboard player Andrew Bown, a member since 1976, and bass player John Edwards, a member since 1985. Only drummer Matt Letley could claim to be a new boy, having joined in 2000.
They arrive onstage and dive straight into "Caroline". My girls may not be Quo fans but have done plenty of "Quomework" over the last week, the better to enjoy the night, so sing along from the start. The stage set is made up of a bright LED backdrop but the focus is the band. Rossi's iconic ponytail may be long gone and Parfitt's blond shag is shortened but there's no mistaking that choreographed, legs-apart guitar-playing.
Quo will always be pariahs with the hipsters. Not that they give a damn
They burst through a few more songs, the chugging rhythm seldom changing a jot but the atmosphere slowly rising, then Rossi tells us he's just been to a toilet in the Brighton Centre which Margaret Thatcher once used - "She took all the toilet paper". He remains one of pop's most jovial figures and, as they attack "Rock'n'Roll'n'You", a recent number but typical Quo fare, it occurs that they're a band that has much in common with The Ramones and Motörhead, outfits that do one thing very well, in Quo's case bar-room blues boogie. However, where The Ramones and Motörhead have slowly gained a cache of cool, Status Quo, by dint of their bloke-in-the-pub geniality and willingness to cheerfully embrace light entertainment and naffness (such as recording a single with preposterous German gabber-popsters Scooter) will always be pariahs with the hipsters. Not that they give a damn. As if to prove their easy-going attitude to such matters and general Spinal Tap-ness, they do a song medley and then plunge into the dubious "The Oriental" which opens with the couplet "Her name was Mia/From North Korea". Then again, the set continues and they bite into a tougher blues rock with Bown playing a mean harmonica on "Creepin' Up on You".
I admit a sing-along weakness overtook me for the ridiculously middle-of-the-road "Margarita Time", then mid-set comes the anomaly that is "In the Army Now", a non-bluesy Eighties pop nugget and a song which I discovered over previous days is impossible, once heard, to shake from the brain. Unexpectedly, it often wasn't the poppier material my daughters liked, but the heavier fare. Sucking on Fanta and eating jelly babies, their hair flailed everywhere for "Roll Over Lay Down", and I'd forgotten "Down Down" was such an absolute belter of a headbanger.
There are strobes and there's even a witty drum solo, if you can believe it, but it is, of course, the final pairing of "Whatever You Want" and "Rockin' All Over the World" that slays us. From nine years old to 70-something, the Quo have us eating out of the palm of their hand as we fill the Brighton Centre with the roared conviction that "I like it, I like it, I like it, I la-la-la-like it". It is the peak of the night. They return for a cheesy Christmas medley – "Winter Wonderland" and "Rockin' Around the Christmas tree", definitely one for the kids (who sing along) and close with their own Christmas non-hit (well, it made 40) "It's Christmas Time". They then leave the stage triumphantly waving to us as the single version plays from their lines of Marshall amps.
My 14-year-old's friends greeted her news that she was off to see the Quo with a withering "It could be worse", but this band who had their first hit when The Beatles were busy making "Yellow Submarine" put on a show of conviction that affably, apparently effortlessly, amalgamates hoky fun with ramped-up riffage, and it was clearly enjoyed hugely by all ages.

Faculty members are sometimes asked to advise students informally on completing their course of study. If you believe you need access to the advising functions in the myUCF Portal, speak with your department chair.
Faculty members with questions about advising procedures or degree requirements should turn to their College Advising Office for assistance.
Faculty roles as advisors may include:
See the page on Advisor Procedures for tutorials on how to perform specific advising functions.
Once students declare a major, they work exclusively with the advising office in their college. This office is also the first point of contact for faculty members with questions on degree requirements or advising procedures.
The individual advising offices mentioned above are represented at a university committee called the Academic Advising Council (AAC), which meets several times per semester to address advising concerns at the university.
See this page for other resources for faculty advisors, as provided by the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA).

It's cold and grey outside, Hassan Hajjaj's rockstar portraits will cheer you up
These colorful portraits of Hassan Hajjaj make me think also of Seydu Keita and Malick Sidibe, two of my favorite photographers of all times.
Hassan photographs people in his home town of Marrakech…his "rockstars" are the snake charmer, the henna girl, the male belly dancer….wearing clothes he has designed for them , standing in spaces he has covered in patterns that he has chosen and set in frames he has made himself.
enjoy !

Which countries are the land of billionaires? - LIST
10 June 2014 [10:23] -
No. of billionaires: 515
Total net worth (2013): $2,064 billion
Land of the free, home of the billionaires? Nearly a quarter of the world's wealthiest -- those with more than $1 billion in assets -- are based in the U.S., according to 2013 data from Wealth-X and UBS Billionaire Census 2013.
And if you look a little lower on the wealth ladder, at folks worth $30 million or more, Americans account for a whopping 32% of the world's super rich.
American women hold a lot of that wealth: $1.2 trillion worth of assets, more than ultra-wealthy women in any other country.
So where in the states are the richest Americans? California's golden shores account for 20% of the country's super rich, and their numbers are growing. New York and Texas also rank high.
No. of billionaires: 157
Total net worth (2013): $384 billion
China's growth has slowed recently, but it remains a hotspot for billionaires. The country added 10 new billionaires over the last year.
That number might have been even higher, but some wealthy residents decided to take their money beyond the mainland recently -- giving Hong Kong and other Asian cities a boost. The moves were apparently sparked by concerns about China's ongoing credit crunch and a recent anti-corruption campaign that targeted luxury spending, according to Wealth-X.
To be ultra rich in China, think manufacturing. A full 17% of the country's wealthiest, those with $30 million or more in assets, derived their wealth from that sector.
No. of billionaires: 148
Total net worth (2013): $432 billion
It's no secret that Germany's robust economy helped bolster the eurozone and drag it out of the financial crisis. That strength also helped it to keep producing ultra-rich Germans.
Indeed, Germany has nearly as many billionaires as China, despite its much smaller population.
German billionaires saw their assets grow slightly in the past year, but wealth creation was even stronger for rich folks in a lower tier -- those with $30 million to $199 million in assets. That group saw their overall net worth increase more than 25% last year.
United Kingdom
No. of billionaires: 135
Total net worth (2013): $420 billion
With London as one of the top financial capitals of the world, the city boasts a growing number of the ultra wealthy. There are now nearly 6,400 Londoners worth more than $30 million -- that's 5.7% more than the year before.
In the U.K. overall, the ranks of the richest -- billionaires -- actually dropped slightly. Their net worth declined as well. But those a rung below them on the wealth scale are enjoying solid financial growth, so it's likely more Brits will reach the billionaire mark soon.
No. of billionaires: 108
Total net worth (2013): $342 billion
The Russian economy has been thrust into question due to the annexation of Crimea and the crisis in Ukraine. The International Monetary Fund recently lowered its projections for Russia's growth from 2% to 1.3%.
Still, there are plenty of ultra-rich Russians. In fact, their numbers rose by 35 last year. How much the political unrest will affect the country's wealthiest citizens in the future, though, remains to be seen, especially since the U.S. and E.U. have imposed sanctions against some Russian individuals and businesses.
No. of billionaires: 103
Total net worth (2013): $180 billion
2013 wasn't a great year for Indian billionaires. Their ranks and overall wealth declined more than 5%. Meanwhile, the country has struggled with economic issues including a weak rupee, slowing growth and high public debt.
But with a sweeping victory for the country's pro-business party last month, and the inauguration of a new prime minister, Narendra Modi, investors hope a turnaround is near. Modi is focused on growth, and seeks to attract foreign investment by minimizing bureaucratic challenges businesses face there. That means more billionaires could be on the way.
Hong Kong
No. of billionaires: 75
Total net worth (2013): $224 billion
Hong Kong is attracting more of Asia's wealth as investors in mainland China seek to diversify their assets in a place known for low taxes and light regulation.
Hong Kong's super rich are worth a combined $530 billion -- and their wealth is growing at healthy double-digit rates.
Saudi Arabia
No. of billionaires: 64
Total net worth (2013): $204 billion
The oil-rich Middle East has long been a home for billionaires, and Saudi Arabia leads the pack.
It also boasts a growing population of ultra-wealthy people who have $30 million or more in assets. Saudi Arabia gained 200 of these super-rich folks last year, and their total wealth grew 27%, according to Wealth-X.
Almost the entire Middle East saw double-digit growth, except for Syria, where the ongoing civil war has taken a toll.
Women still struggle to gain a foothold among Saudi Arabia's wealth elite: They account for just 5% of the country's super rich.
No. of billionaires: 64
Total net worth (2013): $202 billion
French President Francois Hollande garnered international attention for his so-called "millionaire tax," which was approved by France's highest court last year. Under it, companies that pay high annual salaries could face a 75% tax rate.
While critics fear the tax will push some wealthy residents to leave the country, the impact is yet to be seen.
Most French billionaires and multimillionaires are based in Paris. The City of Light accounts for nearly three-quarters of the country's wealthiest.
No. of billionaires: 61
Total net worth (2013): $128 billion
As Europe continues to recover from the debt crisis, its high earners have seen big gains. Switzerland has proved to be especially resilient, as the super rich added almost $100 billion to their coffers last year.
And while the country has recently been cracking down on tax evasion and chipping away at banking secrecy laws, the country still managed to mint four new billionaires last year.
No. of billionaires: 50
Total net worth (2013): $259 billion
The host country for this year's World Cup is hoping to get a $70 billion boost from the influx of spectators for the games, according to the Brazilian Ministry of Sports.
That could be a helpful shot in the arm for the economy, since Brazil's growth has slowed recently. Even the country's super-rich are feeling poorer -- their combined wealth dropped $95 billion from 2012 to 2013. However, a large portion of that loss can be attributed to Eike Batista, a rich Brazilian businessman who lost billions of dollars in the last couple years.
No. of billionaires: 38
Total net worth (2013): $56 billion
Turkey has been in the news recently for anti-government protests and a mining disaster that claimed the lives of more than 300 people.
Its economy, though, has been getting stronger since the global financial crisis -- it experienced 4% growth last year.
And though the International Monetary Fund slightly downgraded Turkey's growth for this year, its economy is still predicted to expand by 2.3%.
Turkey's wealthiest are reaping the benefits -- the country added 70 people to the ranks of its super rich last year. How apropos then that Turkey is ranked 3rd worldwide in production of yachts, a favorite toy of the wealthy. Only Italy and the Netherlands rank higher.

Man Who Threatened 'South Park' Arrested and Questioned
Earlier this year "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker received death threats from a guy who resided in Virginia for writing an episode which features Prophet Muhammad in a bear costume. Stone and Park can now at least take a breath of relief for Zachary Chesser has been arrested in charges which actually are not related to the threat.
The 20-year-old who graduated from Oakton High School was detained on Wednesday, July 21 for confessing his links to a terror group believed to have affiliation with al-Qaeda. He publicly told the FBI agents that he tried to travel to Kenya and Somalia to join Al-Shabaab, bringing along his infant son so that he would not be suspected. According to the affidavit, Chesser was barred from the July 10 flight and told by the Transportation Security Administration that he was on the no-fly list.
Chesser, a convert to Islam, in fact has operated websites and YouTube channel which are stocked with jihad propaganda. This includes an April posting that "South Park" creators would "probably end up" dead like Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh who was murdered by Islam extremist in 2004.
This posting also caused trouble for Chesser. His family received death threats which led to his mother kicking him out of her radar. Chesser "was no longer on speaking terms with his parents", FBI stated.

LOGAN, Utah - Utah State softball mustered just two runs on 11 hits Saturday, while the Cal State Northridge Matadors exploded for 22 runs on 28 hits to sweep the Aggies in the teams' twinbill Saturday. USU dropped the doubleheader by scores of 7-0 and 15-2. The second game was called after the fifth inning.
USU has now dropped nine-straight games since opening Big West action with a 3-0 record. The two losses drop USU to 7-31 overall and 3-5 in the Big West. The Matadors meanwhile, improved to 23-14 and 4-4.
Northridge used explosive first innings in both games to put the Aggies in the hole. In the first game, Northridge tallied three runs on four hits to take the early lead. The Matadors then got strong pitching from Erin Sigala, who pitched a complete game six-hitter to improve to 8-2 on the year.
USU's best scoring opportunity came in the second inning as Candice Hatch singled through the left side for the Aggies' second hit of the game. Hatch subsequently advanced to third on a double by Amanda Carlson. The next batter, Haven Vance, then walked to load the bases for Quela Henderson. Henderson lined out to right field to end the USU threat. USU left seven base runners stranded in the game, while CSN left nine.
Hatch finished the game going 2-for-3, and was the only Aggie to notch two hits. Other Aggies with hits included: Henderson; Jessica Garnett; Casey Smith; and Carlson.
Northridge recorded one more run in the fourth, two in the sixth and one in the seventh to complete the 7-0 triumph. The Matadors had five players record at least two hits, with Lauren Allen going 3-for-4 with two RBIs.
Leslie Higley got the loss for the Aggies as the gave up six runs in five and 2/3 innings. Jill Bruins pitched one and 1/3 innings in relief, giving up one run on three hits.
In game two, Northridge once again wasted little time getting on the board, erupting for four runs on two hits. USU also didn't help its cause, giving up three walks in the inning.
USU answered with one run in the bottom of the first as Smith doubled in Garnett who had reached on a walk.
Down 8-1 in the bottom of the fourth inning, USU tallied its final run of the day as Kelly Leos got things started with a lead off single. Leos advanced to second on a shot up the middle from Higley. With runners at first and second, Carlson out ran an infield single to load the bases for Haven Vance. Vance struck out looking, but Henderson walked in the next USU at bat to bring Leos home from third. Northridge's Kia Fennell then got out of a jam as she struck out Garnett looking to end the inning. The Aggies once again left seven runners on base in game two, while Northridge stranded eight.
The Matadors didn't let up in the top of the fifth as they finished things off with seven runs on seven hits to end the game after five innings.
The Aggies and Matadors are back in action tomorrow for the final game of their three-game series. The first pitch is scheduled for noon.
Game 1 CAL STATE NORTHRIDGE 7, UTAH STATE 0 CSN 300 102 1 - 7 15 1 USU 000 000 0 - 0 6 2 WP - Sigala (8-2). LP - Higley (5-14). LOB - CSN 9; USU 7.

Kobo launches UK ebook store
Remember Shortcovers? It's no more. It's rebadged as Kobo and relaunched, complete with a UK-centric ebook store that has content from publishers like Penguin, Random House, Bloomsbury, Simon & Schuster and Faber & Faber.
The ereading service allows users of smartphones, tablets, netbooks, laptops and ereaders to get access to books. So far, so identical to most other services out there. Where Kobo hopes to stand out, though, is in the use of open formats like EPUB and the ability to keep multiple devices in sync - actively encouraging you to shift your books between more than one gadget.
Kobo says it hopes to have a catalogue of more than 2 million titles available before too long, with best sellers costing £9 or less. Michael Tamblyn, Kobo's vice president of content, sales and merchandising, tried to flatter Britain by saying: "The UK presents a huge opportunity for Kobo to showcase its global capabilities", adding: "The UK is the first of many international launches for Kobo this year".
There's Kobo applications available on the App Store, on the Android Market, on BlackBerry App World and on the webOS App Catalog. You can also find it by heading to Kobo's website - kobobooks.com.
