History may have given way to high-rise hotels, and fishing to foam parties in this former Catalonian trading port, but the region's fiery spirit is still evident, which is why Lloret de Mar is regarded as the liveliest holiday spot on the Costa Brava. As a resort, the town caters for the 18-30s and families with children. There are seemingly hundreds of British bars, discos and clubs to choose from, and the days are packed with programmes of beach frolics and fun. The resort has five rough sandy beaches, a massive water park, aquatic zoo and a theme park. For a taste of the real Spain visitors can revel in the local cuisine or gather in the town's Placa de la Vila on Saturday evenings to join in when locals dance the traditional Catalonian Sardana dance.
Resort Rating
Days are usually spent enjoying Lloret de Mar's seafront and the shingly beach that slopes sharply into the sea, making ideal conditions for a variety of water sports for holidaymakers to enjoy, from lazily pedalling boats, skimming the surface on a windsurfer, or diving into the depths. Other diversions include a host of holiday fun like go-karts, bungee jumping, a mini-train, bowling alley and horse riding. For a change of scene visitors can head off to the Waterworld aquatic park, or play a round of golf at nearby Santa Cristina de Aro. Most visitors opt for one or more sightseeing excursions during their stay; local operators, hotels and package tour companies offer a wide variety of outings from exploring Old Girona to coastal cruises and wine tasting in the Catalan countryside. Most popular are trips to the huge theme park at Salou and Marineland near Blanes, both a few hours drive away. Those who wish to get away from it all can opt for one of a series of mapped walks along the coast or to traditional villages inland.
While in Lloret de Mar, holidaymakers should be sure to dine at America, La Parrilla, Disaster Café or La Pampa Steak House. There is a wide variety of cuisine available in a plethora of restaurants and fast-food outlets, from the best of British to traditional tapas, at very reasonable prices and generally good quality. Favourites with holiday-makers are strawberries and cream, Sangria (fruited sparkling wine) and delicious dishes of paella (seafood risotto). Many of the local restaurants in the old town offer a "menu of the day" deal including two courses, dessert, bread and even wine for a few Euros. There are also tex-mex, Chinese and various other flavours to indulge in.
The nightlife in the holiday resort of Lloret de Mar is exhilarating, its hundreds of bars and 30-odd nightclubs pulsating all night, particularly along the Avinguda Just Marles I Vilarrodona strip of the old town. Night owls who stroll along here in the late evening are accosted by touts offering free tickets and drinks vouchers for the clubs, and partying here can be as cheap as it is lively. Among the more popular clubs and pubs are Bumpers, renowned for its Caribbean cocktails and glass dance floor; Moby's, where karaoke is the popular entertainment; and Tropics, the biggest and best night-spot in town where guest DJs rock the night with a mix of house, rock and trance music enhanced with laser lights and foam. Families opt for friendly "home-style" pubs in the suburb of Fenals, where kids are entertained and the favourite English soap operas are screened.
There are a multitude of shops and markets to choose from in Lloret de Mar, and plenty of time for holidaymakers to browse. The main shopping enclaves, from malls to small kiosks, are centred in the streets behind the waterfront. Wares tend to be touristy items, from souvenirs to bathing suits, and prices are generally reasonable although quality may be lacking. Some of the smaller shops close in the early afternoon hours and on Sundays, but in general visitors can shop happily from around 9am until late at night any day of the week during the busy summer season. The traditional local market is held every Tuesday on the Carrer dels Mestres, and there is a municipal market every weekday in the Carrer Senia del Rabic and Carrer Verge de Loreto.
The beach is comparatively small and becomes very over-crowded in the height of the season.

Tune Up Your Commute
A commute longer than 22 minutes each way may have a negative impact on your well-being, according to a study in The Scandinavian Journal of Economics. But there are ways you can mitigate those adverse effects without calling a moving van. For one, try cutting coffee out of your morning routine, since caffeine can worsen stress and increase anxiety, suggests Andrew Weil, M.D., the author of Spontaneous Happiness ($16, amazon.com). Also consider using the commute time as a mini break. Find a good podcast, focus on your breathing, or indulge in a little music therapy. A recent British study set out to find the top-10 most relaxing songs, measuring, among other things, rhythms and tones that help slow breathing and heart rate over the course of the song. "Weightless," by the Manchester band Marconi Union, was first on the list; it slowed the resting heart rate in women by an impressive 35 percent! Less soporific options include "Watermark," by Enya; "Someone Like You," by Adele; and Mozart's "Canzonetta sull'aria."

Rest [1]
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
This is week three of training. After this week, race day will be 13 weeks away. You'll have two days of rest and two easy days, plus another marathon-pace run.
Tomorrow you'll have your first session of hill repeats. These workouts will help you develop leg strength, and aerobic capacity, and improve your running economy–how efficiently your body uses oxygen. Plus, they'll prepare you to take on the notorious Heartbreak Hill.
This week's long run is 12 miles. It's a big milestone, and it may be the first time you really feel as if marathon training is officially under way. Make sure you set aside enough time in your schedule so you don't feel rushed to finish the run and you have enough time to eat and rest afterward. Get your fueling strategy set ahead of time. On any run longer than 75 minutes, energy gel or sports drinks will help you maintain a steady level of energy.

Target: Director of Morelia Zoo, the Municipal Mayor and Governor of Michoacan, Mexico Legislators.
Goal: To free Yupi the polar bear from brutal captivity in a Mexican zoo.
Yupi is a polar bear that was found in Alaska shortly after her mother died when she was only two months old. She lives in a former grizzly bear enclosure where the environment is completely opposite of her natural habitat. The enclosure is made of all cement and it is in Mexico where the climate is much warmer than her home in Alaska. Polar bears have extremely thick coats and thick blubber to protect them from the cold so they are susceptible to overheating. Yupi is currently living in Morelia, which is in the tropical climate of central Mexico.
Yupi is kept in an even smaller enclosure for 17 hours each day, this pen is dark and barren. Polar bears need to be kept in environments that are akin to their natural environments if they must be held in captivity at all. Yupi has been kept in captivity in Mexico since 1992, it is time that she is freed to her natural habitat, or at least a more humane environment. There is a polar bear rehabilitation center in Ontario that is willing to take proper care of her and hopefully someday free her to Alaska, her true home. There is no doubt that Yupi is being deprived of her basic needs in the concrete prison she inhabits, she deserves a chance to live the rest of her life in comfort and peace.
Dear Director of Morelia Zoo, the Municipal Mayor and Governor of Michoacan, Mexico Legislators,
Yupi the polar bear is being kept in an enclosure made of cement in the tropical climate of Mexico. This is no place for a polar bear from Alaska to live, if she is going to be kept in captivity she needs a climate that is somewhat akin to her own. What's even more tragic is that for 17 hours each day Yupi is forced to live in a holding pen that is dark and barren.
Please take the necessary measures to transfer Yupi to a better environment, like the rehabilitation center in Ontario that has agreed to care for her. Hopefully one day Yupi will return to her true home in Alaska.

Scapegoating Matt Drudge
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
It's apparently Matt Drudge Day in the progressive blogosphere, jumping off WaPo reporter Chris Cillizza's post about the right-wing Internet gossip.
Cillizza argues that The Drudge Report has become more pro-McCain and anti-Obama, though Cillizza is quick to dismiss those who would offer the obvious explanation:
What explains the change in tone? It's easy to lapse into the tired old logic that Drudge is nothing more than a conservative mouthpiece returning to his roots as election day nears.
I don't believe any serious observer actually doubts that the content of The Drudge Report is skewed in favor of conservatives. Of course it is. But because that's so obvious, reporters think it's dull, so they insist on trying to find some other explanation for the fact that -- yet again -- Drudge seems to be favoring the GOP.
There are certain basic facts about The Drudge Report that are all but undeniable:
1) Drudge's site leans right
2) Drudge often gets things wrong and peddles absurd and false claims
3) Despite 1 & 2, "real" reporters frequently take their cues from Drudge
Everybody who has been paying attention for the past decade knows those three things. More often than not, when reporters write a story about Drudge, they include at least one of those three points -- and sometimes all three. They're such common knowledge that reporters who want to write about Drudge are bored with them, as Cillizza apparently is, and desperately flail about trying to find some new angle.
They never succeed, though, in part because they avoid the elephant in the room raised by those three facts -- the fourth all-but-undeniable fact about Matt Drudge:
4) Reporters know 1-3 above, but don't change their behavior
That's what's interesting about The Drudge Report -- what it tells us about the rest of the media. Exploring the reasons why that is true -- and what it says about political journalism, and how to change it -- might make for an interesting article.
Certainly more interesting than yet another pointless effort to read the mind of the mysterious Matt Drudge.
And when you start thinking about what The Drudge Report tells us about the rest of the media, you have to wonder if Drudge is really their leader -- or just their scapegoat, as I argued last December. Think of it this way: If Matt Drudge didn't exist, would Mark Halperin spend his time writing detailed, substantive comparisons of the candidates' positions on executive power, health care, and financial services deregulation?
Seems pretty unlikely.
UPDATE: Greg Sargent:
What's more, another topic that Drudge-ologists will never dare to broach is the question of whether reporters and editors should take their cues from a confirmed serial fact-inventor. Is this, you know, a bad thing? What does it say about the business? Don't the same reporters and editors who proclaim Drudge's influence make editorial decisions to follow him when they do? Isn't one of the dirty secrets of the profession that reporters and editors on occasion actually tailor their stories to get Drudge links?
If Drudge is going to consume our attention, how about a real discussion of Drudge and what the Drudge phenomenon says about the journalism profession -- one that goes beyond the narrow question of how influential he is? The last thing we need is yet more auto-pilot Drudge-worship.

Book ReviewBrewing Quality Beers: The Home Brewer's Essential Guidebook
by Byron Burch (Joby Books, Fulton, California),
123 pp., $5.95. ISBN: 0-9604284-2-9.
Republished from BrewingTechniques' March/April 1994.
Byron Burch is a helluva good brewer. When I first started brewing a decade or so ago, I saw his name everywhere - First Place this, First Place that, Homebrewer of the Year . . . He hasn't quit yet. Last year, I finally got to drink one of his beers - though I didn't know it at the time - and the panel on which I participated at the AHA National Competition gave him second place in British bitters. He owns a home brewers' and winemakers' shop in California. The Sonoma Beerocrats, the area homebrew club, has annually won the AHA's award for most competition points earned during the year, and I suspect that Byron's presence in the club has been a significant contribution to that accomplishment. He's been teaching home brewing for years.
Byron knows a lot about making beer. All he needs is a good editor.
When Brewing Quality Beers succeeds, it is concise, accurate, and helpful. (It is also frequently didactic, but I suppose Byron has earned the right to a few opinions.) When it stumbles, it's simply confusing.
Unfortunately - and surprisingly - the weakest section is the material for beginners. I teach a half dozen beginning brewing classes each year and have learned that getting people started is much harder than it might seem at first glance. It is sometimes difficult to appreciate, after having been at it for a few years, but new brewers are faced with a sometimes overwhelming amount of information, some of it contradictory. Most newcomers need to be led through the process step by painful step. Information needs to be tidily laid out and seems to work best when given only as needed.
The beginners' material in Brewing Quality Beers moves in leaps and starts. After the introduction, there is a drawing of two carboys in different stages of fermentation, but no explanation. That drawing is followed by a two-page sketch of basic home brewing, although the relevant illustrations appear 49 pages later. Then the book presents some recipes and a long section on ingredients, including a lot of information that new brewers will only find baffling.
In the midst of this, there is a pretty good description of bittering units and how to figure them. But, given that the actual description of brewing procedures doesn't show up for another 20 pages, it hardly seems the right place to provide formulas for calculating bitterness in a 60-min boil.
This section also includes some sketchy and apparently out-of-date information on the use of yeast ("the majority of home brewers use dried beer yeasts"), and a section on "Optional Refinements" includes pectic enzymes, lactic acid, and ascorbic acid, none of which seem essential knowledge for new brewers and several of which are worthy of considerable debate.
Finally, on page 57, Byron explains the basic procedures - and does a credible job. The paragraphs on sanitation are particularly excellent and contemporary. In the midst of discussing a simple infusion mash, he gets into strange ground recommending Koji as an aid in mashing, but in general the text is clear and typically concise.
The book really shines when it gets to the material explaining the basic procedures of all-grain brewing. Byron's methods are simple, the equipment described inexpensive, and the recipes far more believable than those in other texts. Unlike other writers, too, Byron doesn't intimidate the reader with overwhelming detail. Brief but thorough chapters cover water treatment, color prediction, and kegging, each with simple charts.
I would be uneasy handing this book to a brand-new brewer and would expect to have to clarify a lot of points for him or her along the way. However, for someone who has been brewing for a time and wants to switch from extract-based to all-grain beers, I would offer Brewing Quality Beers with few reservations.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City police say two threatening letters sent to Mayor Michael Bloomberg contained traces of the deadly poison ricin.
Police said Wednesday the anonymous letters were opened Friday in New York at the city's mail facility and Sunday in Washington at an office used by the nonprofit started by Bloomberg, Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Both were addressed to Bloomberg and contained threats referencing the debate on gun laws.
Police say preliminary testing indicated the presence of ricin.
Police say civilian personnel who came into contact with the letters were not showing any symptoms, but some officers who later examined the one in New York were.
Ricin is a poison found naturally in castor beans.
It's not clear if the letters were related to other threatening, ricin-laced letters sent to other lawmakers recently.

After two weeks of waiting, around 200 Bedoon protesters gathered in Taima area to protest for their right to citizenship and against the discriminatory policies and false promises of the Central Agency. The protest started in Najashi street after the afternoon prayer in Al-Shaabi mosque which was surrounded by riot police. When the protesters left the mosque to march in the 'Freedom Square', activist Abdulhakim Al-Fadhli was directly arrested and taken by state security police and his place is still unknown to this moment. This is the fourth time Al-Fadhli gets arrested and Tuesday morning he was in a court hearing as the police filed a fabricated case against him and other Bedoon who protested two months ago.
As for the other 13 protesters, they were taken to the department of criminal investigation. So far, 8 names out of 13 are confirmed:
1- Yousef Muhsin Sultan Al-Harbi.
2- Hussain Jabr Hilal.
3- Abdulhadi Abdullah Khairallah.
4- Nasser Khalaf Bahlool Al-Shammari (Kuwaiti).
5- Mohammed Faleh Humood Salem – Al-Rai newspaper Journalist/ Bedoon.
6- Fahad Ahmed Al-Badri.
7- Rakan Nawaf.
8- AbdulKareem Saoud Rkhais
9- Fawaz Kasib Ismail.
10-Shaalan Humood Ali Saif.
11- Faisal Al-Manea
12- Abdulhaziz Khalaf Badei
13- Bahyan Badei Nazal (he went to ask about the 12th detainee and was put in detention.)
14- unknown yet
To disperse the protest, riot police used smoke bombs and hot water and according to Reuters report, riot police used batons and armored trucks as well. Several activists reported that a 12 year old boy was also arrested and taken to Jahraa police station but was released in two hours. MP Adel Al-Damkhi, head of Bedoon parliamentary committee, was informed with the names of the detainees and did not yet make any statement. However, MP Saleh Ashoor criticized the violence and arrests against Bedoon while MP Abdulhamid Dashti, member of Bedoon parliamentary committee, said it was wrong to protest!
Lawyer Mohammed Al-Hmaidi, manager of Kuwait Human Rights Association, attended the protest and talked about the violence against protesters through his twitter account. The association itself reported that its president Khaled Al-Hmaidi is in the criminal investigation department alongside lawyer Mohammed Al-Hmaidi and Hussain Al-Otaibi as they work on releasing detainees and appointing lawyers to defend them. The vice president of the association, Fayez Al-Sultani, reported that he was briefly taken and beaten by riot police although he clarified to them that he is there to monitor the protest. He was shortly released. Other monitors, Taher Al-Baghli, Maryam Shah, and Huda Al-Dikheel, were taken to a check point and asked to leave the protest after their cell phones were taken and pictures in them were deleted.

If I leave it unwashed for a day it's oily, greasy, limp and looks like I haven't taken a shower in a week. I dyed and highlighted my hair back in November of 2007, and have dyed my hair a couple times since then only to cover the highlights. In the picture my hair is greasy (I don't know if you can tell). This is only after about 36 hours without washing my hair. I'm getting married in January and this has prompted me to find a solution to my hair dillemma. How do I find a balance between the two?

It's hard not to feel sorry for gun-rights advocates who keep shooting themselves in the foot -- and other parts of the anatomy -- in their attempts to persuade us that more guns equal a safer society.
Last Saturday was Gun Appreciation Day, selected by apparently tone-deaf organizers on the weekend before a federal holiday to honor civil-rights giant Martin Luther King Jr., whose own life was cut short by gun violence.
On this day, five people attending gun shows were accidentally shot -- in Raleigh, N.C., where a man's gun discharged, striking a trio of bystanders at the entrance to the Dixie Gun and Knife Show; in Indianapolis, where a man shot himself in the hand as he exited the Indy 1500 Gun and Knife Show; and closer to home, where a man shot a fellow exhibitor while opening a box containing a gun at the Medina Gun Show. All were accidental.
"Accidental" and gun mishaps, unfortunately, go hand in hand. In 2011, 851 people died in this country because of accidents with the 310 million estimated firearms in civilian circulation.
It's only common sense to recognize that the introduction of a gun into a situation increases the chances that a gun will be fired, intentionally or unintentionally, in that situation -- sometimes to the detriment of the user and sometimes to the detriment of innocent bystanders. Also, to be fair, sometimes to the detriment of an aggressor, but not as often as we might hope.
For instance, one of several Time magazine articles published in the Jan. 28 edition (where most of the statistics in this column originate) notes that New York City police officers' "hit rate" in a gunfight is 30 percent when the target does not shoot back and an abysmal 18 percent when the target returns fire.
Yet one of the most insistent reactions to the recent mass shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary is a call to increase the number of armed personnel in our schools -- either with armed police officers or teachers. If a New York City cop has only an 18 percent chance of hitting a shooter, do we really expect better results from a seventh-grade science teacher?
Proponents argue that the presence of guns on school campuses is a deterrent, so that guards and teachers may never have to use those guns, that their presence is enough to keep potential shooters away.
But consider: If five people can be shot accidentally in one day at gun shows, how many accidents might we have to accept as a consequence of keeping our kids "safe" in class?
More knee-jerk legislation is not the answer to gun violence. The country doesn't need additional restrictions on gun ownership because the vast majority of gun owners -- last weekend's accidents notwithstanding -- are responsible people with the sense to store weapons and ammunition safely.
Yet we also don't need to encourage the further proliferation of guns. With more guns than people in this country, we have enough firearms already.
It is unconscionable that the NRA is using the recent Sandy Hook tragedy as an opportunity to extend its political reach, and it is just as unconscionable that politicians, including the president, are using it as an opportunity to advance a political agenda. Both sides are preying on -- and perhaps are victims of -- fear. Cooler heads on both sides, or maybe somewhere in the middle, must prevail.
The sad truth is that, in 2011, the most common reason for gun deaths by far was suicide, with 19,766 people ending their own lives with firearms. Clearly, more needs to be done to bolster mental-health services in this country, which is why the $15 million that President Obama has proposed to train teachers to recognize mental illness and the $40 million that would help school districts refer students to mental-health help are the most sensible components of last week's executive and congressional to-do list. The same sorts of services need to be made more readily available to adults, as well.
Unfortunately, the parts of the president's proposals that will get all the attention are the attempts to ban assault rifles and high-capacity clips, which will serve only to offend gun owners who use those items lawfully and safely for recreational shooting. It will do little to curb crime.
If you own guns, lock them up. Store ammunition separately. While this greatly reduces the effectiveness of firearms for home protection (which is a false sense of security, anyway), the life you save and the injuries you prevent may be your own or that of somebody who has done you no harm.
Especially if you go to gun shows.
Chris Schillig is an Alliance area educator and journalist. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com
So the author of this article is an Alliance area educator. Maybe that explains why our school system has dropped to something like llth place in the world for education.
This article reeks of a high school report where a student will pick out a few points that support his point of view and entirely ignore those that do not. Then he often takes the few facts that he may have and miss interprets them.
The example of the accidental discharge of a gun at a gun show in Raleigh, N.C., is a clear example of faulty reasoning. He did not state the number of gun shows that were being held across this nation where no one was hurt. This equates to the auto accident where the driver was hurt: therefore we should not allow automobiles.
He wrote that 851 people died in this country because of accidents with the 310 million estimated firearms in civilian circulation. That would equate to .000002 person per gun owned. Care to try that with auto accidents or even accidental death caused at hospitals.
I could go on with the examples of faulty reasoning but I will end it by saying that on the day of the gun show 25 people had been killed in the city of Chicago. This city has the most stringent of gun control laws.
As a Journalist he should know better unless he was ordered to do so by his Editor.
For certain, there is a complete lack of common sense in DC.
President Obama wants to give the school districts (teachers unions) $55 million for training on how to spot mental health troubles in kids, then refer them to the shrinks. Where are the parents in all this? Teachers have a hard enough time trying to teach the 3'Rs & the ABC's. Now they will be the ones to start the referal paperwork that says your kid has a problem. Then what? What a headache for the parents. I think your family doctor could determine if your kid is normal through a physical and info from mom. Obama is pushing his anti American agenda, Always use a crisis to further your agenda. Maybe the (Dems game plan) agenda, includes some of the goals the commies/socialist had in 1958, and still have, on how to bring America down. The following is taken from the list of 45 Communist goals contained in the book, "The Naked Communist" written in 1958: by, W. Cleon Skousen... Goal 17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
Goal 32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
Goal 38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
Goal 39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist(Socialist) goals.
Goal 40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
Goal 41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents... If one would like to see the rest of these commie goals, use google. See how many have been fulfilled since 1958. Leave the 2d Amendment alone.
A reasonable person, considering recent events, might wonder why Adam Lanza could not tolerate the conflicts in his life and chose to resolve them using overwhelming force. Did he learn the lesson of zero tolerance taught in our public schools all too well? Is not overwhelming force our first choice? Win at all cost? Are not these the ideals of the newly reinvigorated faction clamouring for gun control?
Ever vigilant for an opportunity to exploit emotion to dupe the public, Washington seizes upon the tragedy of Sandy Hook Elementary School to escalate the polarization of America. "Gun control!" rings from their lips when a reasonable person might ask what they have been able to control lately. The deficit? No. The illegal immigration? No. Illegal drugs? No. Drunkenness? No. Dog fighting? No. Their bladders? Possibly. So, to cover their own ineffectiveness as they lead the Government ever deeper into the fiscal tar-pit, they will trot out proven failures with a new polish along with even more brilliant insanities to dazzle our minds while the tar absorbs us.
If the American public chooses not to be duped "one more time", it might insist that members of Congress demonstrate that they can, indeed, at least control their bladders. With that issue settled and with the confidence it would instil, they could then proceed to one of the more substantial control issues already on their plate. However, only in the unlikely event that they successfully complete their existing challenges should they be permitted to add new ones.

|Head Coach
|Alma Mater:
|SUNY Cortland, '77
|14 Years
Entering his 15th season as head coach of the Marist women's basketball team, Giorgis is the program's all-time leader in wins. His career record stands at 341-115 with a winning percentage of .748. Giorgis has led the Red Foxes to 10 MAAC Championship Titles, 11 MAAC Regular Season Titles, 10 NCAA Tournament appearances, and an appearance in the WNIT.
In his first 14 seasons in Poughkeepsie, Giorgis has been named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Coach of the Year seven times - five times outright (2003-04, 2007-08, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13), and a share of the award on two other occasions (2004-05, 2005-06).
In the 2015-16 season, Marist finished with an equal record of 16-16, and a strong MAAC showing of 14-6. The Red Foxes found themselves in third in the MAAC at the end of the season and made it to the semifinals of the tournament.
Senior center, Tori Jarosz, was awarded the highest rank in the MAAC, as Women's Basketball Player of the Year. Alongside this award, Jarosz was also named a member of the first team All-MAAC with teammate Sydney Coffey. The Red Foxes showed their success in the classroom as well with four members being names to the MAAC All-Academic team.
In Brian Giorgis' thirteenth season as the head coach of the Marist women's basketball team he led the group to great success on and off the court. The team made their 12th straight MAAC Championship game, 11th postseason appearance, had four Red Foxes honored with All-MAAC selections, five players named to the MAAC Women's Basketball All-Academic Team, three representatives on the MAAC All-Tournament team, and achieved their 12th straight 20+ win season.
Marist captured its 10th MAAC Championship in the 2013-14 season under Giorgis. The Red Foxes exceeded 100 points on two separate occasions this season: Dec. 18, 2013 with a 103-66 win over Northeastern and on Feb. 14, 2014 with a 100-81 win over Quinnipiac. This was the first time Marist scored 100 points since 2002, the first time Giorigis has led a team to 100 points in his career, and the first time Marist has scored 100 points against a MAAC opponent. Giorgis posted his 11th consecutive 20+ win season and eighth straight 25+ win season. Giorgis also captured his 300th career win this year with a 82-53 rout of Monmouth on Feb. 28, 2014. Marist defeated #20/19 Oklahoma on Dec. 21, 2013 76-69. This is the second time Giorgis defeated a ranked opponent in his career, the first time coming in 2010 over #21 Nebraska. Marist recorded the program's 11th ten-game winning streak in 2013-14 as well.
Under Giorigs in 2013-14, Marist had four MAAC Players of the Week and one Rookie of the Week. Emma O'Connor was named All-MAAC First Team and All-Met First Team. Madeline Blais was named All-MAAC Second Team while Leanne Ockenden was named All-MAAC Third Team and MAAC Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. Sydney Coffey was named the MAAC Tournament MVP while O'Connor and Casey Dulin earned MAAC All-Tournament Team honors as Marist defeated Quinnipiac 70-66 in the MAAC Championship, earning the program's 10th NCAA Tournament berth. The 11th seeded Red Foxes drew sixth-seeded Iowa in the first round. Marist's season came to a close with an 87-65 loss to the Hawkeyes. The Red Foxes finished the season 27-7 overall and 18-2 in the MAAC.
In the summer of 2013, Giorgis added another accomplishment to his long list of achievements as he was named an assistant coach of the USA women's basketball team for the 2013 World University Games in Kazan, Russia. Equipped with the best collegiate players in the country, Giorgis and Team USA came home with a Gold Medal after going 6-0 in the tournament. The U.S. defeated Mali (120-32), the Czech Republic (101-61) and Brazil (105-75) in pool play before defeating Sweden (103-72) in the quarterfinals and Australia (79-78) in the semifinals. The Red, White and Blue then beat host Russia 90-71 in the gold medal game.
Giorgis, a 2010 inductee into the New York State Basketball Hall of Fame, has led the program to national prominence in his first ten seasons. In 2012-13, the Red Foxes endured one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the country, including playing games against four teams ranked in the top 15 in the country (#2 UConn, #7/6 Kentucky, #12 Oklahoma and #14/12 Purdue). Nine of the 11 teams Marist saw in non-conference play played in either the NCAA Tournament or WNIT the year before and seven of those teams advanced to 2013 postseason play. Giorgis was named Coach of the Year for a record seventh time in his 11-year career after guiding the Red Foxes to an undefeated 18-0 MAAC regular season for the third time in the past six years. He did so despite losing Marist's top two scorers from a year ago to graduation, and then its two tallest players to season-ending injuries during non-conference play. The Red Foxes cruised through the MAAC Tournament, completing their championship run with a convincing 72-48 win over second-seeded Iona in the MAAC Championship game.
Marist earned a #12 seed in the Bridgeport Regional of the NCAA Tournament, drawing First Round matchup with #5 Michigan State in College Park, Md., at the University of Maryland. The Red Foxes used a 17-5 run to start the second half to overcome a nine-point deficit and take a 33-31 lead at the 13:46 mark of the second half. However, the Spartans came back and defeated Marist 55-47 to end the Red Foxes season at 26-7.
In 2011-12, the Red Foxes reached their seventh consecutive NCAA Tournament and their eighth in nine years. The Red Foxes endured the sixth-toughest non-conference schedule in the country, playing four teams that eventually made the NCAA Tournament and five others who made the WNIT field. After emerging from the non-conference portion of their schedule with a 5-6 record, including the program's first ever win over an opponent from the SEC in a 69-61 victory over Auburn, the Red Foxes went on to win 20 of their next 21, finishing with a 17-1 record in the MAAC, winning their ninth consecutive regular season championship and seventh straight, eighth overall, MAAC Tournament title. Their 10 straight wins to open MAAC play brought Marist's streak to 34 consecutive wins versus MAAC opponents, the second longest streak in MAAC history, trailing only the 35-game winning streak put together by the Marist teams from the 2006-07 season through the 2008-09 season.
The Red Foxes entered the 2012 NCAA Tournament as a 13-seed in the Raleigh Regional, travelling to Tallahassee, Fla. to take on the fourth-seeded University of Georgia. Marist used runs of 7-0 and 11-0 to take a 37-32 halftime lead. Another 8-0 run late in the second half gave the Red Foxes the lead for good as they came away with a 76-70 victory, their fifth-ever NCAA victory. Marist faced fifth-seeded St. Bonaventure in the Second Round in a rematch of a 67-56 Bonnies victory earlier in the season. In a back-and-forth affair, the Red Foxes came up just short 66-63, falling in the second round for a second straight season.
In the 2010-11 season, Marist achieved the highest national ranking in program history when they were ranked 17th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' Poll on March 8. The team also won its eighth consecutive Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference regular season title with a perfect 18-0 mark in the MAAC, and finished three games ahead of second-place Loyola. It was only the second time since the MAAC expanded to an 18-game schedule that a team has finished with a perfect conference record, with the other time being the 2007-08 Red Foxes.
Marist entered the NCAA Tournament as 10th seed in the Philadelphia Regional and faced off against the seventh-seeded Iowa State Cyclones. The Red Foxes used a 25-4 run over a span of 6:51 in the first half to grow a lead as large as 20 points, 40-20 and held on for the upset 74-64. Marist went into their second round game against second-seeded Duke, boasting the nation's longest winning streak at 27 games. The Blue Devils had to come from behind, scoring 11 straight points with under five minutes left in the game to take the lead for good, ending Marist's season 71-66. The Red Foxes finished one win shy of tying the program record with 32 wins.
Beyond his success on the floor, Giorgis has also led his program to participate in a number of initiatives within the basketball and local communities. Since taking over the program in 2002-03, the Red Foxes have helped to raise funds for a number of different causes. The team has volunteered with the Special Olympics and Kids' Day Out, a one-day clinic sponsored by to benefit students with disabilities. Additionally, the Red Foxes have worked with the WBCA in its efforts to promote breast cancer awareness with an annual "Pink Zone" contest. The women's basketball program also works with the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation, which attempts to improve the quality of life for children with pediatric brain tumors. The Red Foxes adopted Nina Triplo in April 2010.
In 2009-10, Marist when 26-8, and won their seventh straight MAAC Regular Season Title with a 15-3 conference record. The Red Foxes defeated Fairfield 66-49 for their fifth consecutive MAAC Tournament Championship. Awarded the 12th seed in the Memphis Regional, Marist took on fifth-seeded Georgetown in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Red Foxes had their season cut short by the Hoyas however, 62-42.
The Red Foxes went 29-4 in 2008-09 with a 16-2 mark in conference. Marist was ranked as high as 20th in the Associated Press Top 25 that season as well, and was ranked for three weeks. For his efforts, Giorgis was named the Maggie Dixon Coach of the Year by the Met Basketball Writers Association.
In 2007-08, the Red Foxes set a new program record with 32 wins. Marist posted an 18-0 record in the MAAC, the first team to do so since the conference expanded to 10 teams, and won its fifth consecutive regular season title. The Red Foxes also earned their first in-season ranking in 2007-08 when the USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll ranked them 25th on Feb. 12. Marist was ranked as high as 20th in the poll by the end of the regular season. A record 21-game winning streak propelled Marist to its fourth MAAC Tournament title and a seventh-seed in the New Orleans Region of the NCAA Tournament.
Marist won its first round NCAA Tournament game for the second straight season, using a 39-7 run over the last 14:13 of the game to defeat 10th-seeded DePaul 76-57. The Red Foxes took a 22-game winning streak, the nation's longest at the time, into their second round game against LSU. While Marist did fall to the Tigers, the Red Foxes showed they can hang with the nation's elite teams for a second straight season. Giorgis earned two accolades for his work during the 2007-08 season. He was named MAAC Coach of the Year, marking the fourth time in six seasons that he earned at least a share of the award. The Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association also honored Giorgis by naming him and C. Vivian Stringer of Rutgers the Maggie Dixon Co-Coaches of the Year.
Giorgis and the Red Foxes enjoyed an historic season and its third trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2007. He led the Red Foxes to their first ever win in the NCAA Tournament, a 67-63 upset of fourth-seeded Ohio State. Marist followed it up with a 73-59 win over Middle Tennessee State to advance to the Sweet 16. The win over MTSU marked the first time a MAAC program, men's or women's', reached the Sweet 16 in conference history. Marist's Cinderella run on the national stage came to a close when it met eventual national champion Tennessee in the Sweet 16. The Red Foxes won 29 games during the season, and embarked on winning streaks of seven and 13 games as they claimed at least a share of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference regular-season crown for the fourth straight season.
In 2005-06, Giorgis led Marist to a then program-best 23 triumphs and its second trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Red Foxes embarked on winning streaks of seven and 12 games as they claimed at least a share of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference regular-season crown for the third straight season.
In 2004-05, Giorgis guided Marist to a 22-win season, which included a then program-record 16-game winning streak. After starting the MAAC season 0-3, the Red Foxes closed it with 15 consecutive triumphs to earn the top seed in the MAAC Tournament for the first time.
The 2003-04 season was historical, as it was the first time the Red Foxes earned a berth in the NCAA tournament in what became known as a "season of firsts." Additionally, Marist earned its first share of a MAAC regular-season title and compiled its first winning record in 11 years.
Giorgis' first campaign laid the foundation for future success. Taking over a team in 2002-03 which had lost the fourth- and fifth-leading scorers in program history to graduation the prior year, Giorgis' team improved its win total from 11 to 13. The Red Foxes also earned their first win in a MAAC Tournament game in school history with a first-round triumph over Loyola.
Prior to his arrival at Marist, Giorgis enjoyed a tremendous amount of success at Our Lady of Lourdes High School in Poughkeepsie. In his final season there, the girls basketball team finished with a fourth-place national ranking in the USA Today poll and earned its fourth straight New York State Federation Championship. He earned WBCA Region One Coach of the Year honors, was runner-up for WBCA National Coach of the Year honors and was selected to coach at the Phoenix/WBCA High School All-America Game.
As the head girls basketball coach at Lourdes, Giorgis posted an astounding record of 451-44 in his 19 seasons, good for a winning percentage of .911. He won nine state championships with the Warriors. In his last two years, his teams posted a combined mark of 56-2 and earned the top ranking in the Madison Square Garden Tri-State Area Poll each year. Giorgis has earned two WBCA Region One Coach of the Year honors and two coach of the year awards from the New York State Coaches Association. He led Lourdes to the league title all 19 of his seasons there and won 15 Section I crowns, with the last 11 coming consecutively.
Giorgis' achievements at Lourdes were not limited to the basketball court. He is the only coach in state history to take teams in four different sports to the state Final Four, as he also guided the baseball, softball and volleyball teams there. His softball squad captured the state crown in 1990. Additionally, Giorgis coached golf and tennis at Lourdes and served as athletic director for 10 years. He served two stints as president of the Section One Girls Basketball Coaches Association.
Giorgis earned a bachelor's degree in health education from the State University of New York at Cortland in 1977, and earned a master's in health education from Virginia Tech University in 1982.

Returning soldiers have more car crashes: study
By Ben Berkowitz
BOSTON (Reuters) - U.S. military personnel have 13 percent more car accidents in which they are at fault in the six months after returning from overseas duty than in the six months prior, a USAA study revealed on Tuesday.
USAA, a major insurer catering specifically to the armed forces and their families, based its study on 171,000 deployments by 158,000 of its members over a three-year period ending in February 2010, when combat was still raging in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In many cases, USAA found, soldiers took the driving style that kept them alive on the streets of Baghdad and Kabul and applied it to the suburban roads at home.
The results were most dramatic for returning members of the Army and Marines, whose accident rates rose 23 percent and 12.5 percent, respectively. (Rates were up 3 percent for the Navy and 2 percent for the Air Force).
Not surprisingly, given the experience many soldiers had with improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and other roadside obstacles in combat zones, USAA found "objects in the road" to be the most cited of the 13 accident causes it studied.
The insurer also found a direct correlation between the number of deployments and the rate of accidents -- those deployed three or more times had 36 percent more incidents, those deployed twice had 27 percent more and those deployed only once had 12 percent more accidents. A 2009 military study found that, since 2001, deployments for reservists had averaged from 8 to 14 months in duration.
There was also correlation by age (soldiers under 22 were involved in more wrecks than those over 29) and by rank (the more senior a soldier the lower the number of accidents).
"USAA has shared its research with each military branch's safety center commanders. USAA has also shared the study with academics and traffic safety experts and has taken steps to make USAA members aware of the behind-the-wheel risks for returning troops," the company, which had 8.8 million members as of the end of 2011, said in the report.

My baby is three weeks old and he isn't really able to latch on himself. The only way I've been successful at feeding him so far has been when I sit upright and hold him in the cross cradle hold. He definitely roots and tries to latch on himself, he just can't seem to manage.
When is it likely that he will be able to to manage a little more on his own? I'm looking forward to being able to nurse him at night without getting up out of bed but right now it's just too frustrating to both of us.
what have you tried laying down? i still had to help my new babies latch on while we both were on our sides, facing each other. feed with the bottm breast and hold it with the top hand. you don't have to have the baby lay on your arm, lots of moms do it that way but it's easier for me for the baby to lay totally on the bed, with my bottom arm stretched above baby's head. maybe if you have someone lay the baby in front of you after you get comfy that may cut out some awkwardness until you get the hang of it.
babies latch on their own at different ages. my last one seemed to be around 7 months maybe but that is late compared to my others!
drowning in hormones with 4 daughters and an understanding, loving hubby. also some dogs. my life is crazy and we are always learning.
My daughter had a lot of trouble with lying down nursing until she got some better head control. I think she was about 8 weeks before it kind of clicked and lying down nursing was easier. Before that I had to do exactly what you said, sit up nursing in cradle hold. After that she got to be a super pro, and I think liked lying down nursing better than anything else. LOL
Adina mama to B 4/06 and E 8/13/12 (on her due date!)
Yep, keep trying different things until you find what your munchkin likes.
I have larger breasts on a smaller frame, and in the beginning the sheer size issues made anything but the football hold impossible for Little Miss.
I hate(d) football hold.
Then we moved on to the cradle hold, when she was about a month old, and she could control her head a bit.
At around 3-4 months I started nursing her while laying on my side. I haven't had to sit up in the middle of the night since then.
Of course, now she practically gets her own nunnie out of the pajamas and puts it in her mouth.
And on 09/23/2011, we were three; husband, daughter, and me!
When lying down I put him on his side and try with the lower breast. I keep trying every other day or so and a few times I've been able to get him latched, although not very good. I guess I'll just keep trying every few days, he's changing to much day to day hopefully it will "click" for us soon!
Thanks :)

Whelp, first of all...my furmily has grown & it seems to keep growing. I have a roommate named Rowdy. He's a Lab/Catahoula mix. I like playing with him but oh my dog he takes up a lot of space. I also have another foster kitty. Whelp, let's bark up on that. I had a foster kitty. He, yes "HE" was a male Calico. His name at the shelter was "Cash" but my mom did some research about male calico kitties and found out they have an extra "Y" chromosome. She thought Cash wasn't nearly as cool a name as he deserved so we called him "Wyatt" instead.
Sadly, Wyatt was sick and nobody knew it. He was with us about a month before God decided he should have more cat fur on his lap and called precious Wyatt to the Rainbow Bridge.
He apparently had Feline Panleukopenia. Wyatt was unique not only because he was a male calico but also because he was such a sweet and loving kitty.
Mom did a lot of cleaning to make sure Nugs didn't get sick.
About two weeks after Wyatt passed away, mom went to the shelter...she didn't expect to come home with any new family members but there was this other tabby calico that was limping around. Her name was Naomi. Yeah...she came home to be a foster. Seems like nobody wants to adopt a cat with a limp. Her name is Weeble now. She wobbles but doesn't fall down.
So that brings us to the new kid on the block.
There was this really pretty (not as pretty as I am of course) Border Collie in an over crowded high kill shelter in TX. Mom said OH NO...long story short "Oreo" is with a foster family in the Dallas area waiting to be brought to MN.
Mom is looking for transport options to bring my new sister to me.
I went from being an only dog to having a brother and soon another sister.
Mom and I just got back from our first time at dog scout camp in St. Helen, MI.
FURst of all, mom said she saw bugs she thought had been long extinct with the dinosaurs. They licked the bug repellent off her then proceeded to sting her repeatedly. This started at the first stop in MI for food and gas, all the way through dog scout camp and all the way back to the WI border.
Other than being a blood donor for bugs, mom said we had a great time at camp.
I got my DSA title on Wed. then we worked on my boating safety merit badge. I didn't like the idea of getting in the boat, I would rather have jumped off the dock and gone swimming.
I finally earned my badge with help and tuna cookies from Beth Duman.
I won first prize in the art contest for my "Splash Pond Monster" painting. The other campers seemed to dab the paint on their paper, I just globbed mine on in big bold colors. It sort of looked like either a Triceratops or a mosquito.
I got 7 merit badges.

I am kind of tired from the long week and the long drive but I can hardly wait to go again next year!
Today was one of my favorite days. I know I say that every day...but really, today was an awesome day!
Mom took me to work at this nice place where I was adored by everyone. Then I decided to go exploring a little on my own.
I saw an open door as an invitation to go in and spread joy to the lady who lived there. I mean; come on, if she really didn't want visitors: why prop the door open for us?
So...mom claims she heard something called a hullabaloo. That must mean wet sloppy kiss and a kind greeting cuz that's all I recall happening. If that lady didn't want a kiss...why did she bend over at the door?
So mom comes in and tries to break up the party. And as it turned out...the lady wanted me to stay and talk to her.
She told my mom that she got a Black Labrador puppy for her husband for their 30th anniversary and they named the puppy "Pearl" because it was their pearl wedding anniversary.
Her husband would take Pearl hunting and then come home and sit in his favorite chair while Pearl rested her chin on his knee just like I did.
Then I wandered over and plopped down in front of her fireplace and the lady's eyes welled with tears as she said Pearl did the same thing when her husband was alive.
She talked to my mom for quite a while about Black Labs and her husband and then told mom she'll be 100 on December 23rd. Mom said she would have guessed her to be 81 or 82 at the most and she kind of blushed and giggled.
It's days like this that make being a therapy dog rewarding at its best...sitting and listening to someone's fond memories and being able to brighten their day.
