Information about Gannon University wrestling team, and registering for discussion sections and departmental electives. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. College coaches are more interested in players who already know about their team and college, so do your research before visiting a college campus in person. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Gannon University Wrestling information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Gannon University.
Always maintain a positive attitude, especially when you're in pain, or losing a game. Be a good sport, and keep trying. Believe you'll be successful, act like you can still win the game, and then go out and make it happen. Be aggressive, and make a second try on a given play if you have time. It's one thing to make a good effort, but great players keep trying until they succeed, no matter how many years of team practice that takes.
If you get lazy, and decide to take it easy during practice, coaches will take notice. Push yourself, work hard, and you'll improve as a player. It's important to find a position that you really like to play, not just settle for what you're good at. Over the long haul, you'll have a better athletic career. Students must meet specific eligibility requirements each year to participate in Central Texas College football game broadcast. Beyond consideration for Gannon University wrestling team, you may think about Copper Mountain College average ACT score for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Big guns show down in Texas
With the world's top five golfers in opposition, the Byron Nelson Classic is a tournament to savour. The event, staged over two courses, Las Colinas and Cottonwood Valley, begins in Texas on Thursday and has drawn Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson and Retief Goosen.
The two courses, both par 70s, are relatively short by modern standards and put a premium on accuracy. The bookmakers have Woods as a universal favourite - Paddy Power and Bet365 are best at 9-2 - but he failed to break 70 in four rounds at the Wachovia Championship last week and he looks short enough.
The Wachovia went to Singh in a play-off - against Sergio Garcia and Jim Furyk — after Garcia had lost a six-shot lead in…

From Paid Content:
No matter how many times we hear reports that hundreds, if not thousands, of YouTube creators are making a comfortable living from their channels, recent discussions triggered by Jason Calacanis have brought up again the importance of creators pursuing more revenue streams than just the profits made from pre-roll ads on YouTube.
Those alternate revenue streams take on many forms: Live shows, direct sponsorship deals with brands, even t-shirts. New on the scene is Subblime, which bills itself as "a community where you can connect with people that inspire you and discover the things they're crazy about."
Recently launched, the site currently hosts pages for fewer than 20 creators, who share everything from their favorite skirts to crossfit essentials to camera equipment and electronics. It's impossible not to see the potential for other creators, gender or personal brand aside — the value of a service like this for anyone from Wil Wheaton to Epic Meal Time is quite clear — especially if they're drawing revenue from these affiliate links.

"The sad truth is that the civil rights movement cannot be reborn until we identify the causes of black suffering, some of them self-inflicted. Why can't black leaders organize rallies around responsible sexuality, birth within marriage, parents reading to their children and students staying in school and doing homework?"
"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person."Henry Louis Gates on Mignon McLaughlin
"By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher."Henry Louis Gates on Socrates
"It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages."Henry Louis Gates on Friedrich Nietzsche
"How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being."Henry Louis Gates on Oscar Wilde
"Don't marry the person you think you can live with marry only the individual you think you can't live without."Henry Louis Gates on James C. Dobson
"I first learned that there were black people living in some place called other than the United States in the western hemisphere when I was a very little boy, and my father told me that when he was a boy about my age, he wanted to be an Episcopal priest, because he so admired his priest, a black man from someplace called Haiti."
"Censorship is to art as lynching is to justice."
"It's important to debunk the myths of Africa being this benighted continent civilized only when white people arrived. In fact, Africans had been creators of culture for thousands of years before. These were very intelligent, subtle and sophisticated people, with organized societies and great art."
"We can revolutionize the attitude of inner city brown and black kids to learning. We need a civil rights movement within the African-American community."
"Patriotism is best exemplified through auto-critique. When you're willing to stand up within the group and say, 'It is wrong for Black people to be anti-Semitic,' or 'It is wrong for America to discriminate against persons of African descent and made them slaves and based its wealth upon free labor,' it's crucial to say that."

Why Keeping Your Carpet Cleaned in California Is Good For Your Health
Equally as much as we all clean our carpets of bringing a new flash of glow in our homes, that's not the one good reason that we clean them. In reality, that's not the one answer why people should always be cleaning their carpets regularly. Despite the very fact that most individuals don't learn about it, but a unclean carpet happens to be major explanation for a few of the health issues we sometimes have. And as you our health comes about, what else can be a bit more important? For that reason, this post will be looking at the condition risks involved once you know that you may have a uncleaned carpet and the way an expert from a carpet cleaning company handles a grimy carpet to guard against all of the health risks which goes hand in hand … Read more

Can I observe the Sabbath any day of the week?
➠ The Bible never says, "Choose one day out of seven as a Sabbath day and observe it."
➠ The day (7th day) itself is a holy day and God especially blessed this day. God has set this day aside to be a day of rest (Gen 2:1-3).
➠ God was very specific about exactly which day the Sabbath was. In Exodus 16:23, God said, "Tomorrow is to be a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord" (italics added). And in verse 26 Moses explains that the seventh day (not any other day) is the Sabbath day. The same clarity and explicitness are also expressed in the Ten Commandments (Ex 20:9-11; Deut 5:12-14).
➠ We must do what God has commanded us, not what we feel is the best choice (see 1Sam 15:22).
➠ Rom 14:4-6 and Gal 4:10-11 do not refer to the weekly Sabbath day but to the observance of special days. The context of Romans 14 shows that Paul was talking about Mosaic regulations on days and food (see v. 2: refrain from meat). Gal 4:10-11 is even clearer in that it refers to observance of special occasions prescribed in Old Testament regulations.

These weekends can prove to be a little costly for most smartphones I guess, they are always photographed out of nowhere. It happens to be that Nokia's E6 joins the bandwagon.
Engadget's tipsters have given them a couple of pictures of the E6. Looking at the image, it seems Nokia is continuing the business phone trend, especially with that QWERTY keypad on the E6. The VGA display rumored earlier looks to be quite small and definitely not a touchscreen one, but we can't say for sure. The backside of the E6 confirms the 8 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash that was also spoken of before.
It's only a week or so to go for the Mobile World Congress and it looks pretty certain that the E6 would be in Nokia's line-up for the MWC. But wait, what about Nokia shifting ecosystems? The chances of them adopting Windows Phone 7? Well, with all this confusion, it's better to leave matters at the hands of the masterminds at Espoo. Stay tuned for more on the Nokia's E6. Till then you can check out why we liked the Nokia E5.

Despite no obvious barrier to gene flow, historical environmental processes and ecological specializations can lead to genetic differentiation in highly mobile animals. Ecotypes emerged in several large mammal species as a result of niche specializations and/or social organization. In the North-West Atlantic, two distinct bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) ecotypes (i.e. 'coastal' and 'pelagic') have been identified. Here, we investigated the genetic population structure of North-East Atlantic (NEA) bottlenose dolphins on a large scale through the analysis of 381 biopsy-sampled or stranded animals using 25 microsatellites and a 682-bp portion of the mitochondrial control region. We shed light on the likely origin of stranded animals using a carcass drift prediction model. We showed, for the first time, that coastal and pelagic bottlenose dolphins were highly differentiated in the NEA. Finer-scale population structure was found within the two groups. We suggest that distinct founding events followed by parallel adaptation may have occurred independently from a large Atlantic pelagic population in the two sides of the basin. Divergence could be maintained by philopatry possibly as a result of foraging specializations and social organization. As coastal environments are under increasing anthropogenic pressures, small and isolated populations might be at risk and require appropriate conservation policies to preserve their habitats. While genetics can be a powerful first step to delineate ecotypes in protected and difficult to access taxa, ecotype distinction should be further documented through diet studies and the examination of cranial skull features associated with feeding. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

This paper addresses the problem of steering a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles along desired three-dimensional paths while meeting stringent spatial and temporal constraints. A representative example is the challenging mission scenario where the unmanned aerial vehicles are tasked to cooperatively execute collision-free maneuvers and arrive at their final destinations at the same time. In the proposed framework, the unmanned aerial vehicles are assigned nominal spatial paths and speed profiles along those, and then the vehicles are requested to execute cooperative path following, rather than open loop trajectory tracking maneuvers. This strategy yields robust behavior against external disturbances by allowing the unmanned aerial vehicles to negotiate their speeds along the paths in response to information exchanged over the supporting communications network. The paper considers the case where the graph that captures the underlying time-varying communications topology is disconnected during some interval of time or even fails to be connected at all times. Conditions are given under which the cooperative path-following closed-loop system is stable. Flight test results of a coordinated road-search mission demonstrate the efficacy of the multi-vehicle cooperative control framework developed in the paper. Copyright © 2012 by E. Xargay, I.

Journal of Fish Biology | Year: 2013
Seven coastal fish species are newly reported for the remote north Atlantic archipelago of the Azores: Mediterranean sand eel Gymnammodytes cicerelus, bar jack Caranx ruber, two-banded seabream Diplodus vulgaris, bastard grunt Pomadasys incisus, unicorn leatherjacket filefish Aluterus scriptus and longspined porcupinefish Diodon holacanthus. The occurrence is also confirmed for 19 species that had been hitherto cited occasionally for the region, totalling a list of two elasmobranchs and 23 teleosts. Diplodus vulgaris, which appears to have recently colonized the islands, as well as roughtail stingray Dasyatis centroura and golden grey mullet Liza aurata, re-cited based on new records, are frequent or common coastal species in the Azores. The remaining 22 species, exceptional or rare in the region, are of tropical or subtropical affinity and find their northernmost distribution limit within the central and north-east Atlantic Ocean precisely in the Azores. This biogeographical pattern contrasts with that of the Azorean coastal fish community and suggests a tropicalization process in the region in line with previous findings of similar patterns across the north-east Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. These novel data from the most isolated archipelago of the North Atlantic Ocean, located in a biogeographic boundary area where colonization opportunities are reduced, reinforce the need for long-term monitoring programmes of coastal fish communities and, in particular, of indicator species groups to improve understanding of the effects of climate change on marine communities. © 2013 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles.

This brief presents a decentralized coordinated strategy for multirobot patrolling missions. Patrolling is here interpreted within the framework of the sampling problem. To be applied in practice, several realistic constraints and the time/spatial variance of the information are explicitly considered. The proposed approach is well rooted in the concepts of Voronoi tessellations and Gaussian Processes. Each robot, based only on local information, computes the next point to visit according to a given performance criteria. Numerical simulations and experiments involving three autonomous marine surface robots in a harbor scenario at the Parque Expo site in Lisbon, Portugal, are presented. © 2014 IEEE.

Girl Crush! I Got to Meet Tina Fey!

Well, Yesterday, my friend Karen was nice enough to hunt down and score tickets for us to the sold out Philadelphia stop on Tina Fey's Bossypants book tour (where she was interviewed on stage by Marty!). Swoon! She was so bubbly and happy despite having a cold and oh so beautiful in person. So, even though this post has nothing to do with the general mishmash of my blog, I just wanted to let you know that I was really psyched to meet Tina Fey!

In the 2000s, the most glamorous job romantic comedy heroines could aspire to was magazine writer. High-gloss movies like How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days, 13 Going on 30, and The Devil Wears Prada spotlighted the aspirations and inevitably salacious lives of stumbling writers who were plucky and determined and sometimes even ruthless.

Are you ready to get started on your delightful and fulfilling journey to becoming a skilled toy maker? Yes? Then let's get started! All too often a budding toy maker will rush right out, buy the first craft kit they see at the craft store, grab some materials and tools and head right into their workshop for a weekend of creative fun. Sadly, the experience is usually less than positive. Often the toy ends up breaking or looks so horrible that not even the dog will play with it.

For 150 years, Hong Kong was identified as a colony of the United Kingdom, and for the last 20 years (the anniversary of the handover is in July) as a territory of China. But throughout years of uncertain sovereignty, Hong Kong has remained a destination in its own right. From this perch it's easy to see why: This shining metropolis of more than seven million people oozes prosperity and beauty.

Is it okay to enjoy this life? Watching a gorgeous sunset. Sharing a laugh with a friend. Tasting a sun-ripened strawberry. Each day is full of opportunities for you to savor the countless gifts the creator has given. But do you feel free to delight in God's abundant gifts, or is your joy sometimes distorted by guilt, fear of idolatry, or simply an overwhelming awareness of sin's effects on this world?
The events take place in one of the largest and oldest San Francisco's department stores. A casual visit to see mannequins drifts into a fantasy territory with a slightly disturbing turn of events; nothing extreme, though, and with a happy ending. The book is written as a rhymed narration where most of the lines are rhymed. It is not a poetry in the traditional sense of the word.
Best-selling authors and business experts Thomas A. Stewart and Patricia O'Connell contend that most companies, both digital and brick-and-mortar, B2B or B2C, are not designed for service - to provide an experience that matches a customer's expectations with every interaction and serves the company's needs. When customers have more choices than ever before, study after study reveals that it's the experience that makes the difference.

Earlier this year, Jeff Beck added a rather nice guitar solo to a rocking LeAnn Rimes song, "Gasoline and Matches." The track appears on her 2013 album, Spitfire. Rimes' cover of the Julie Miller tune also features Matchbox Twenty frontman Rob Thomas on vocals.
Over the weekend, Rimes released the music video for "Gasoline and Matches," and you can watch out below. While Rimes and Thomas appear in the clip, Beck is represented by a pair of wooden hands that appear to be playing his old Yardbirds-era Fender Esquire (which is now living at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland).
A "man on the moon" version of Beck's face also appears in the clip.
To create the stop-animation-photography video, director Ian Padgham used iPhone cameras and connected more than 8,000 images.
Although we don't need to tell you this (It'll be obvious when you hear it), Beck's solo starts at 1:52 and ends with a cool descending run. Beck also plays — liberally — throughout the song's outro.
Spitfire also features appearances by Alison Krauss and Dan Tyminski.

Voices from the Titanic
The Watch That Ends the Night: Voices from the Titanic
by Allan Wolf
Poet Allan Wolf recreates the voices of Titanic passengers and crew in this dramatic novel. His cast of characters include shipbuilder Thomas Andrews, captain E.J. Smith, socialite Margaret Brown, immigrants Olaus Abelseth and Jamila Nicola-Yarred, undertaker John Snow, the Iceberg, and even a rat. Interspersed among their stories are actual reports, telegrams, and distress calls that make the impending tragedy all the more heart-rending.
Wolf uses free verse, rhyme, rhythm, and concrete forms to convey class, station, duty, hope, sorrow, and loss to devastating effect. An amazing accomplishment.
Highly recommended.

12 Totally Inspired Cake Ideas
Pastry chef Bob Truitt loves anything that includes caramel and ice cream. "But there always needs to be a crunch," he says. So he makes pecan-studded blondies the base for this sundae and adds a garnish of candied pecans.
Recipe: Butter-Pecan Blondie Sundaes with Creamy Caramel Sauce
The four "food groups" of your dreams — brownies, ice cream, chocolate sauce, and malt balls — come together in this treat. Scoops of malted-vanilla ice cream are layered with fudgy brownies, with only the light crunch of crushed malt balls to break up the creamy richness. To complete the ultimate sundae, top it off with a generous drizzle of warm chocolate sauce and a sprinkling of malted bits.

Worst Things About the Pokemon Sun and Moon AnimeHeavyDonkeyKong
The Top Ten
Wait what? Why did you make this list if you are arguing against the points? - Rue
Yeah, we should try to get admin to change it back to what the original title was supposed to be. - ModernSpongeBobSucks
You ever seen Indigo League? Animation was awful. - HeavyDonkeyKong
I agree it sucks and I know I will be judged on this so fire away.
Even Indigo League looks better this one looks kawaii/ugly same thing lolV 5 Comments
Also what kind of reason is "this is better" as a reason to hate something. I dislike most of Best Wishes but I don't say stuff like "DP was better" when I explain why I disliked it. - Rue
XY/XYZ set a ridiculously high bar. - HeavyDonkeyKong
The final battle against Team Flare and Lysander's Giant Rock monster was a bit uncreative and could have been written differently, but the series was the best up to this point.
I'm probably the only one who did not like XY/XYZ at all. Ash was not intresting to sit through.
Serena was nothing but an annoying wishfulfillment (She still is). The only good ones are Clemont and Bonnie but even they get shoved to the sidelines for how amazing Ash and Serena are. Even the battles felt flat and have zero suspense in them. Yea the Art was good but the animation was just meh. And the Team flare arc? Edgy for the sake of being Edgy and to show off on how cool they are at everything with zero struggles is not good writing if you ask me. Even Black and White was better. ( let the hate begin) - Mehguy2000
Ah, but everybody worships both Indigo League and Origins, where the fight scenes are even worse. - HeavyDonkeyKong
The fight scenes look great when they happen but the problem is what I said before, there isn't enough, as well as them being very short. I think Ash's battle with Hala and Totem Gumshoos are the only battles that were not interrupted. - Rue
There isn't enough fight scenes. - Rue
A lot of people were actually happy about this? Team Rocket actually does something right for once. - Rue
Why? You got your wish. Team Rocket is finally strong. - HeavyDonkeyKong
I personally hated this there is no way Pikachu could lose to these idiots. - egnomac
Wait WHAT!? YAY! Finally they destroyed that overpowered rat!
This entire season is pure filler just like the Orange Island adventures. - egnomac
Like a lot of filler in DP, the filler in SM is good. - Rue
Ever single season has it. in my opinion. - HeavyDonkeyKong
I hate that stupid Bewear I already got sick of it after the first time/ - egnomac
Watch the Bewear scenes in my opinion. - HeavyDonkeyKong
People keep bringing her up on every single SM episode like ENOUGH. I know you love her, but she's gone and is irrelevant to the new season. She wasn't going to come back just because of her infatuation for Ash. - Rue
Because the other females totally followed Ash around permanently right? - HeavyDonkeyKong
Your saying that like it's a bad thing, as much as I like Serena it makes no sense for her to return since she's already on a journey in Hoenn. - egnomac
OH COME ON GET A LIFE SERENA IS DONEV 2 Comments
And you would bash Pikachu and Ash if they lost. Pokemon fans are never satisfied regardless if Pikachu and Ash do very well and not lose. - Rue
Why? You got your wish. Pikachu is finally strong. - HeavyDonkeyKong
She should of gone with Ash
The Newcomers
This is a sign that they're trying too hard
now ash is making all these weird faces - Adventurur2
The Contenders
Glad they are staying out of the topic but ash getting second in a league then going to school is unfitting - Masterofal
Most of the time they do literally nothing interesting. - egnomac
This issoo boring who the hell wants to watch Ash go to school. - egnomac
We don't want to watch ash in school we want to watch him travel the world! sure it's a new idea. but honestly I have enough school in the real world.
They aren't even traveling yet. Give the show some more time. I theorize the school thing is happening because if Ash was traveling, the anime would end too quickly. They need to to buffer it out until the next generation. - Rue
Serena didn't have a go at first either. But well then eventually does. Well then it has only been fourteen episodes so please give it some time lolol. - HeavyDonkeyKong
You think people warm clothes that cover themselves up in hot climates? NO. That doesn't happen unless the person has a skin condition where the sun negatively affects their skin. - Rue
Why? Because she wears clothes that makes totally sense in a hot climate weather? - Mehguy2000
Yeah her clothes are appropriate for the weather, but I still hate her and all the other "companions" of ash aside from kiawe and lily.
Calling mallow a slut?
hows mistys clothing any diffrent and yet she is not a slut?
exactly so think before u judge peoples clothing
Disney for some reason is taking forever to release the dub. Isn't the dub supposed to be out when there are 10 episodes already aired in Japan? - Rue
It took forever just to get episode 3 dubbed. Like, what the hell Disney? - Rue
There already 7 episodes dubbed now
Youve got that right
What is his rush? He's not going out on adventure as of right now. - Rue
He always takes a while to catch new ones in my opinion. - HeavyDonkeyKong

Vic Govt won't interfere in Villawood row
Victoria's Planning Minister says he is hopeful due process will resolve a battle between a property developer and the Macedon Ranges Shire.
The council has rejected Villawood Properties' application to rezone farming land at Woodend to build a 650-lot housing estate, after pressure from a vocal community campaign.
However, Villawood has vowed to vigorously pursue the proposal and the next step could be an appeal to the Minister, Matthew Guy.
Mr Guy says there are processes in place that should see the parties resolve the issue without Government interference.
"We want to see the council and the community and the developer, as they have been, working through some of the issues that have been raised," he said.
"I understand the council had some concerns, I understand they've articulated those.
"They need to work through the process that is at hand. It's not an issue that I want to see the State Government micro-manage - we can't and won't micro-manage projects across the state."

Kilmaine Saints
Kilmaine Saints is a band formed on good whiskey and bad intentions. The brainchild of two members of a Harrisburg Pipe & Drum band, this side project was originally created with the sole intent of getting them free beer at St Patrick's Day shows in the Central PA area (and might I add – mission accomplished). After incorporating the help of fellow members from the pipe band and other notable musicians from the area, they soon realized they were in for one hell of a ride. Since 2009 they have continued to pound through blistering, high-energy live sets that keep people singing along, stomping their feet, lifting their pints and shouting for more. With several hundred shows at venues and festivals up and down the East Coast, 5 critically acclaimed releases under their belts, national and international airplay, and an ever-expanding and extremely loyal fan base, it's no wonder the world is starting to stand up and take notice. In short, the Kilmaine Saints are equal parts Irish swagger, Scottish pride, and whiskey. This explosive Celtic rock band from central PA will steal your heart, your spirit, and your pint when you're not looking.
The ayes have it – Barley Juice is a grand group of talented tunesmiths and prodigious performers, and the absolute best time you can have at a concert without removing your kilt.
With six studio albums and a double CD collection in their sporrans to date, these five spirited yanks are currently one of the most beloved celtic rock bands in the USA. Frontmen Kyf Brewer and Keith "Swanny" Swanson lithely cover lead vocals, guitars, accordion, harmonica, mandolin, bouzouki, and bagpipes. Both originally piped in the Loch Rannoch Pipe Band, and performed in Edinburgh's Millennium March for Prince Charles. While Swanson was once a member of New York's legendary Flailin' Shilaleghs, Kyf's been a pro performer since his first band, The Ravyns, produced the hit "Raised on the Radio" for the 1982 film Fast Times At Ridgemont High.
Backing Brewer & Swanson are a mad trio of characters: captivating fiddler Alice O'Quirke, whose classical roots stray to Irish & bluegrass in the middle of the most authentic jigs & hornpipes; drummer John Tracey, a powerhouse of driving decadence; and hopping bassist Eric Worthington, musical snake-charmer of the deep and dulcet.
Dublin 5
Dublin 5 has taken the Celtic music scene by storm thanks to an eclectic mix of traditional roots and blazing instrumentals with an amped up rock twist. Their musicianship and show is nothing short of high octane. Their fan base is continually expanding and covers people of all ages from all walks of life. The name Dublin 5 is the region in Ireland where Ray Murphy, lead singer in the band, grew up as a child.
Dublin 5 has performed at The Milwaukee Irish Festival, The Syracuse Irish Festival, The Oshkosh Irish Festival, The Maryland Irish Festival, The Celtic Classic, The Celtic Fling, The Dayton Ohio Irish Festival, The Annapolis Irish Festival,The Maryland Renaissance Festival, FEDEX Field, Southern Maryland Celtic Festival, Raven's Stadium, USNA Stadium and Shamrock Fest Washington, D.C.
Dublin 5 are fronted by Ray Murphy (lead guitar) from Dublin, Ireland and backed by Jenn Belle (fiddle), Gary Hewitt (bass), Jim Martin, (percussion), and drummer Kevin Shook. They are sure to keep you on edge until the final track has been played!
For nearly 20 years, Blackwater has been performing their high-energy brand of Celtic music to audiences across North America from sessions and pubs to concert halls and festival stages. Formed in 1996, the group has released several albums, appeared on multiple compilations and brought their inspired love of their shared musical heritage to an ever growing fan base. The band's members have a rich tradition in Celtic, Folk, Classical and Contemporary Music and have successfully merged those individual influences into a unique and dynamic sound.
Striking vocal harmonies, intricate fiddle styles, multi-instrumental talent and a penchant for compelling rhythms lend the group its unmistakable take on the traditional. Original compositions, innovative arrangements and an all embracing passion for fun freshen the mix for a show that has been described as "Sheer Ceili Aerobics!"
The Fitzgeralds
The Fitzgeralds – family group consisting of fiddling and step dancing siblings – Tom, Kerry & Julie Fitzgerald. These siblings, from just outside of Canada's renowned Ottawa Valley, have come a long way from their small town roots. Featuring 3-time Canadian Grandmaster Fiddle Champions and Ontario Open Step Dance Champions, this unique act features high-energy fiddling and mind-blowing step dancing. It is the rare combination of exceptional musicianship, incomparable step dancing, audience interaction, evident love of performing, and genuine sibling connection that resonates with audiences of all ages and sets this group apart.
The Fitzgerald siblings were raised in a musical household, and toured internationally with their family band "Everything Fitz". Growing up in the Ottawa Valley, they were immersed in the rich tradition of Canadian Old Time fiddling and step dancing that evolved with the arrival of Irish, Scottish and French immigrants. Over time, they have developed their art form to include various styles of fiddle music including Celtic, jazz, bluegrass, French-Canadian, and pop. They have also explored other dance forms including tap and Irish. The siblings continue to push boundaries by fusing traditional and modern styles of fiddle and dance to create their own unique sound and style. Their creativity and passion for experimentation has led them to compose original tunes and arrangements, some which were released on their latest album. The result is a groovy and catchy new sound and look that appeals to all ages.
In conclusion, The Fitzgeralds are some of the most talented, energetic, animated, and genuine performers you will come across. This is a group of entertainers who truly love what they are doing and thrive on interaction with their audiences. Presenters can expect a high-calibre, polished, varied, and action packed show, with some goofiness thrown in here and there. They even step dance and fiddle at the same time!
Brendan's Voyage
Brendan's Voyage The Band, was formed in the early 90's with Brian Gaffney from Tralee, and Fergus Kennedy and Steve Morris who are both from Strabane.
Together, their style runs the gambit from classic rock and roll to country, to traditional Irish music. Brian's guitar and crooning vocals, Fergus's accomplished run of the keyboards and Steve's unsurpassed fiddle, guitar and vocals have made them a much sought after band for concerts, festivals and major events all around America for many years. Brendan's Voyage is sure to bring any crowd to it's feet as audience members revel in their diversity and lively performances.
Brendan's Voyage currently reside in the Washington DC metropolitan area.
The ShamRogues have been entertaining crowds all over the East Coast since 2009 with their unique brand of Irish music and dance. From Washington D.C. to Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and the famous Irish venues of New York City, the band has attracted fans of all ages and walks of life wherever they travel with their show. Having performed a series of sell out shows in Ireland two years in a row the band has blasted onto the International scene in a blaze of electric fiddles and banjos.
Formed by banjo player and County Laois native Jim Phelan, the band features Adam Wyatt on Vocals and Bodhran, Sarah Stepanik on Fiddle, Chris Marsheck on Guitar, Gary Peresta on Bass, Evan Phillips on Drums and World Irish Dancing Finalists Katie Fox and Katie Whitman.
Not a band to stand around on stage blasting out song after song, The ShamRogues like to involve their audience in a fun, lively evening of songs and stories of Ireland, and God help anyone who forgets to clap along!
Seamus Kennedy
Originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, has been entertaining audiences all over the United States for almost four decades. An accomplished guitarist with a ready wit and a vast store of songs, he travels the country performing for thousands of people each year.
With a thorough knowledge of the traditional and contemporary songs of Ireland and Scotland, he is equally proficient with American music, whether it be folk, country, bluegrass or a little Western Swing. A thirty-seven-year veteran of the Irish/Celtic festival circuit, he was first influenced by the legendary Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, and from them he learned the importance of not only being a solid musician and singer, but also of being an all-round entertainer.
Seamus is at home in venues ranging from intimate house-concerts and folk-clubs to concert halls and festivals; from Alaska to Florida, from Maryland to California, he makes folks laugh, sing and forget their cares for a while.
Kennedy's ability to combine a total command of the music with humor makes him unique in the industry. His strong interactive entertainment skills and his participation with his audiences have helped him create an exceptionally loyal fan base everywhere he goes.

To James Madison from Lafayette, 1 December 1802
From Lafayette
La Grange 10h frimaire,
Xbre the 1st 1802
My dear friend
Had I Not a proper Reliance on the Steadiness of Your Sentiments I Might fear You Have forgotten the old friend Who Has Not for Many, Many Years Received one Line from You. But I Conclude from the feelings of My Own Heart that Your Reciprocal Affection to Me Has not diminished, and that through the Vicissitudes of a Life as Stormy as it is Now Quiete, I Have Been Accompagnied With Your interest and friendly Wishes. How far You May Have partaken in the Error of those Who Judging at a distance, and Being deceived By the Sound of Words, Have Sincerely thought I ought to Have Sacrificed the Evidence of public interest, National Will, and Sworn Laws to the pretended plan and Real Mistake of a few individuals, I Have Had Never the Opportunity to know. Matters Were So Misrepresented Abroad, that While on the Ninth August 1792 the National Assembly Had at A Majority of Upwards the two thirds of the Votes By a Special decree declared they were no more free, the Laceration of that decree the next day, the Expulsion of the Members, the Command of Contrary decrees By Strangers Covered With Blood and threatening Extermination Were Represented abroad as the Acts of the Legislative Body1—that While the Constitutional powers Were defended By the Best Republicans of france Such as La Rochefoucauld, dietrich, dufalga, desaix, dupont &c.2 By Me whom the Court did then, whom all kings, Courts, Aristocrates Ever did, and do still Hate Above All Men, By My friend La tour Maubourg3 the only Man who in the Late Assemblies Has Mentionned Elective Representation and Liberty of the press, the Name of Virtuous Republican was Given to Such Men as danton and Santerre who were then in the Actual pay of the Thuileries4 and Ready to turn a Riot Either for or Against them, to the Tools of Orleaneze Royalty, to those Royalist Officers who Had the Lesser Scrupules about the Rights of National Sovereignty, or to Such a intriguer as du Mouriez5 Who Had Been Against the 14h july, Had proposed Several Counter Revolutionary plans, and Since Betrayed His trust to the Coalition—and While the Girondists who Had Connived at a Riot as a threat Not as a Subversion, as a Consignation of power into their Hands Not a destruction of All Constitutional Order, felt the Very Next day the whole Authority Had Been Monopolized By their temporary Allies whom they feared and detested, While they Lamented their irretrievable Secession from those founders of the Revolution whose patriotism and disinterestedness they Had Never Questionned, it Became Necessary for their Consequence and Safety to Support Abroad, and Espouse at Home Measures to a part of Which they Were Strangers, as Many of Which they did Repine Untill By their too Late Opposition to Jacobinism they Were Brought to an Honorable Very Meritorious death. The Error in Germany, in England Could not be So General, Nor Last So Long as in More Remote Countries. Yet the knowledge of individuals, and Home Rememberances Might Have Been a preservative. Now that Epocha of our Stormy Season and indeed Every other Are Sunk into a dead Calm, and You Would Be Surprised to See With What front the Most turbulent Usurpers of the Name of patriot Now Stare at the friend of liberty who perseveres to Assert liberal principles, and to Use liberal Expressions.
Under those Circumstances a life of Retirement is the only one that Suits me. I Am pleased to See friends of Mine in public Employements and think the Cause of freedom and the Welfare of My Country is Benefited By it. Yet I Have presumed an other Calculation for Myself and Cherished the idea that a Long Carrier in the duties of Soldier Apostle and Martyr to the Sacred doctrine fitted me for the Station of a Retired Veteran. I Aknowledge My Great Obligations to Bonaparte Who With Equal Steadiness and Spirit, did, and Was the only Man who Could, after five Months of a Victorious Negociation, Execute the orders of the french Governement for our Rescue from the Coalitionary Hands. I thought on the Event of the 18th Brumaire, prepared By Republican Hands, and Universally Confessed as a Liberation from a New impending terrorism, that the liberal professions which Accompagnied it, Were to the Man of liberty a Sufficient Signal to Return Home, and So I did Oppenly,6 altho' Not Yet invited, Nor Would I Be Erazed from the proscription List Unless My Companions Had on the Same day Equal justice done By them, Which Was Effected. I Have on Several Instances found in Bonaparte an obliging disposition towards me Nor Am I insensible of particular Marks of His Regard. But Having found as I Very Candidly told Him that His direction Was on a line diverging from My principles, I was More and More Confirmed in My determination for a Country Life. You Have No doubt Been Informed, as it Was, I don't know How, published in foreign papers, that in the Affair of the Consulate for life My Vote Was Such as Could Not please Him,7 Not that I Would Have Repined at Large Concessions of Honors and power Compatible With and Offered as a price for liberty, the less So as there is in france Such a disgust of freedom, Such Evils impending in what they Call a Restoration, and Bonaparte is a Man Most Exalted in Glory, parts, and influence. But I Want france to Be a free Republic. I above All am determined Never to Give up those principles which our friend Jefferson Remembers My Having on the 11th July 1789 proclaimed in an Assembly Surrounded With Royal Troops8—they Were the principles of our American Revolution—I Gave them as my Manifesto and My Ultimatum. Nor Could My Ennemies Amidst their Calumnies Ever point out the Action, the Expression, Which in the day of power, nor in the time of Shipwreck Has deviated from them—and Now, While I Refuse My Assent to the Consolidation of an Arbitrary System, I am taxed With A dangerous folly of patriotic dreams and disregard of public9 tranquillity. Let me therefore Stick to My Rural abode and Agricultural pursuits. I Live in an Agreable place, About forty Miles from paris. My Children are With me. Georges Has Married the daughter of Tracy10 whom Mr. Jefferson Has known in the Constituent Assembly and Who is One of His Warmest Admirers. My Elder daughter is the Wife of Charles La tour Maubourg the Youngest Brother of My Olmutz Companion and Has two Lovely Little Girls. My daughter in Law is Within a few Months to Encrease Our family. Georges is Now at turin Where the 11th Rgt of Huzzards Has its Quarters. Virginia, My Younger daughter, will, I think, Be Married Before Long.11 The Health of My Wife, Also [sic] it Never Can Be perfectly Restored, is Now Tolerably Good. You know I am Not Very fond of Monney—yet I Wish I Had More of it. One Half of My fortune I Had With Much pleasure to Myself Employed in pursuits Conformant to my principles and Inclinations. The other Half Has Been Almost Entirely dilapidated and taken from me. The Losses Effected By our Own decrees or those of a General Nature I do Not Reckon. I found on My Return a Great Number of Creditors. They all, and Every one of them, Acted By Me With Much delicacy. Yet there Was No proportion Between My debts and My property. The Share of My Wife Had Also Been Much Reduced and the place of Abode which She inherited was in Great Need of Repairs and totally destitute of furniture. I found Myself deeply indebted to Governeur Moriss who in dreadful times Advanced for my Wife a Large Sum of Monney—to Mr. parish, the American Consul, Who Made Every Advances for the Subsistence of My family in the Coalitionary Captivity and Untill We Were Restored to our Country—to other Americans I am Also indebted. So that if I Was to Clear, as it is Said, My fortune I Would Be Cleared out of Every thing I possess—for Admitting My debts paid of, there Remain Only for Each of My Children three thousand french Livres a Year, and for My Wife and Myself, Besides our Lodgement, Six thousand french Livres of Net Revenue Which Added to My Military pension as a Retired General Gives about five Hundred Guineas a Year. I Have By Exchanges With My Neighbour Succeeded to Surround the House and farm Buildings With One whole tract of Land Upwards of Six Hundred Acres—four Hundred Arable—the Remainder Woods, pasture, Ground fit to Be turned into Meadow, Vineyard, Orchard &c. Had I in My power a Large Sum of Monney I Might Set Up a profitable, and to Me a delightfull farming Establishement. My Studies, and My Activity are Now Confined to those pursuits, and indeed I think I am Able to practise With Advantage. But Situated as I am, it is as Much as I Can do to Begin this Spring With One plough. It Would Be in me Unbecoming Affectation to Seem ignorant of the kind intentions of Several friends of Mine Both in and About Governement and Congress. With the Same frankness I Will tell You Such Measures, While they May Be Considered in My Circumstances, as Necessary, are also in My Opinion and feelings, Equally Honorable and pleasing So that far from Having the Narrow objections of a Misapplied Vanity I Would Now Be as proud to Receive the Gifts of the free Representation of the United States as I Have, While I Was Rich, thought Myself Warranted in Refusing Them.
There is an other object of Which Mr. dawson and Some other friends Have Repeat[ed]ly Spoken and writen to me—Viz the tracts of Land Given to Each Continental Officer, and those Which Have Been Voted Specially for me By the Several States.12 I thought My Best Way Was to Apply to the House of our friend dupont to Make proper Enquiries About it, and His Sons Have been desired By Him and Requested By Me to Consult You, and inform themselves Respecting the Actual State of things of Which I am perfectly ignorant.
Those Confidential Communications, My dear Madisson, Are to You An Additional proof of My dependance on the Continuation of Your friendship. Be pleased to Remember me Most Affectionately to Mr. Jefferson Who Has No doubt Received My Letters and to all other friends, particularly to the Noble, Heroic Huger,13 the Man for Whom My Gratitude, Love, and Admiration shall Last As long As my Heart Can Beat.

1. On 9 Aug. 1792 the French legislative assembly refused to indict Lafayette on charges of conspiring against the revolution and to depose the king. On 10 Aug. the assembly declared the king suspended, leading to the attack on the Tuileries and the end of the monarchy (Samuel F. Scott and Barry Rothaus, eds., Historical Dictionary of the French Revolution, 1789–1799 [2 vols.; Westport, Conn., 1985], 2:941; Georges Lefebvre, The French Revolution [2 vols.; London, 1962–64], 1:237–38).
2. Revolutionary politician Philippe-Frédéric, baron de Dietrich, was elected mayor of Strasbourg, condemned by the Paris revolutionary tribunal, and executed in December 1793. Dufalga, the chief of an engineering battalion in the Army of the Sambre-et-Meuse, was distinguished by his courage at the crossing of the Rhine in September 1795. Army officer Louis-Charles-Antoine des Aix (or Desaix), imprisoned in 1792 for objecting to the dethronement of the king, became a general in the Army of the Rhine-et-Moselle after his release (Scott and Rothaus, Historical Dictionary of the French Revolution, 1:315; Réimpression de l'ancien Moniteur, seule histoire authentique et inaltéréé de la révolution française depuis la réunion des Etats-Généraux jusqu'au Consulat (mai 1789–novembre 1799) [32 vols.; Paris, 1850–60], 26:12; Tulard, Dictionnaire Napoléon, pp. 593–94).

4. George-Jacques Danton is generally believed to have accepted bribes from the royal government. Antoine-Joseph Santerre, a Paris brewer, was chief of a national guard battalion involved in the attack on the Tuileries (Lefebvre, French Revolution, 1:239–40 n. 1; Louis Adolphe Thiers, The History of the French Revolution [1881; 5 vols.; Freeport, N.Y., 1971 reprint], 1:407).
5. Charles-François Du Périer Dumouriez was sent by Lafayette to assist the rebellion in the Austrian Netherlands. He succeeded Lafayette as commander of the Army of the North and defected to the Austrians in 1793 (Scott and Rothaus, Historical Dictionary of the French Revolution, 1:331–33).
6. The coup d'état of 18 Fructidor an V (3 Sept. 1797) establishing the Directory took place two weeks before Lafayette's release from his imprisonment at Olmütz. Lafayette's opposition to this government resulted in his residence outside France until Napoleon's overthrow of the Directory on 18 Brumaire an VIII (9 Nov. 1799) (W. E. Woodward, Lafayette [New York, 1938], pp. 369, 379–80; Tulard, Dictionnaire Napoleon, pp. 605–7).
7. Lafayette wrote Napoleon that while he would be happy to see him ruler for life of a free republic, he could not vote for such a title before being assured that liberty was truly restored in France (John Simpson Penman, Lafayette and Three Revolutions [Boston, 1929], pp. 268–69).
8. On 11 July 1789 Lafayette read to the National Assembly the declaration of rights that he had written with Jefferson's advice (Louis Gottschalk and Margaret Maddox, Lafayette in the French Revolution: Through the October Days [Chicago, 1969], pp. 81–82, 89, 92–97).

13. The young South Carolinian Francis Kinloch Huger, son of Revolutionary War veteran Benjamin Huger, attempted to rescue Lafayette from his imprisonment at Olmütz in 1794 (Elizabeth Pinckney Huger, Statement of the Attempted Rescue of General Lafayette from "Olmutz" [n. p., 1881], pp. 3, 10).

Weakness? or Discipline?
Posted by Evan Saint Clair on 8th Feb 2017
Every decision in your day is going to boil down to this: the choice between pushing yourself or letting yourself off the hook.
A disciplined mind says yes to the hard things, whether that is adding a little more weight, or scaling it back.
A disciplined mind takes on the challenge right now, in this decisive moment, with all the weight of fortitude and passion.
A disciplined mind gets stronger.
A weak one does not.
So let go of your weakness, push it away, don't let in, because guess what, it doesn't belong here.
You don't need it.
Start with the small decisions; when you set your alarm, wake up. Boom!! First win of the day, follow through, your discipline has increased.
Drink a big glass of water, win number 2, hydrated.
Write down the number one thing you want to get done. Win number 3, mission.
Now get after it.
Discipline or weakness?
What's it going to be?

The Gathering - Preparing the Planet for Ascenstion
(October 2013)
Is it possible to ascend?
The Gathering is a story about ascension. It is a fictional story, but many of the ideas are close to the truth. For instance, a gathering is taking place today on this planet. This is a gathering of advanced souls who have come for the single purpose of raising the vibration of Earth.
This is a metaphysical book for those on a new-age spiritual path. It will feed your soul as it delves into subjects such as Gnostic spirituality, ascension, spiritual dimensions, spirit guides, DNA changes, the coming Earth shift, and the crystalline grid. Many ideas are covered that will help those on their spiritual journey.
The Gathering is a very timely book. It helps to explain what is happening today and the transition into a new way of life. It shows how new communities will form, including their structures and foundations. And like in Durrett's previous books, the spirituality of the future is clearly described.

IronPlanet taps Ackley, formerly of eBay and Google, as new CMO
Steve's breakdown: IronPlanet bringing in a heavy hitter for their heavy equipment auctioneer business so expect some heavy changes in marketing.
PLEASONTON, CA: A veteran of web and e-commerce development with stints at giants such as Google and eBay on his resume has joined the leadership team at IronPlanet.
The online heavy equipment auctioneer has hired Matt Ackley as its new senior vice president and chief marketing officer. In his new role at IronPlanet, Ackley will be in charge of all marketing and customer acquisition and will be on the company's executive board.
Ackley started his career 25 years ago as a consultant at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture). Since then he has led development and marketing teams at eBay, Google, Marin Software and FairMarket, according to an IronPlanet release. Ackley says joining IronPlanet brings him "full circle."
"I'm looking forward to applying my technical marketing background to an industry still in the early stages of adopting e-commerce for big-ticket items that are key to infrastructure and global commerce, like construction, mining, and oil and gas, as well as military surplus," Ackley said in a prepared statement.
IronPlanet chairman and CEO Greg Owens called Ackley "an early innovator in online marketplace technology," adding "…we look forward to leveraging his leadership and technical, data-driven perspective to continue growing our brands."
According to the IronPlanet release, Ackley spent more than seven years at eBay where he "focused on revenue and demand generation including strategic partnerships, seller tools, developer programs, and internet marketing and advertising, where he was the vice president of that group for five years."
He then joined Google where he served as the managing director of Media and Platform Market Development. After departing from Google he served in various marketing and product leadership positions at Zerve, Marin Software and Practice Fusion.
Ackley has an M.B.A. from Harvard and a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering from Duke University.

The Traditional CRM market has reached its innovation peak, they say, having seen more than its share of changes and growth in recent years.
In 2000, the CRM market grew by 59%; and even in the face of an economic downtown, a recent AMR Research study shows that 87% of companies plan to leave budgets for CRM initiatives intact or even increase them.
The market has only existed as a known entity for a little more than five years, making its growth and acceptance even more remarkable.
The market's growth shows that companies have finally heard the customer message loud and clear, and they're buying technology to help them compete and succeed in the customer economy.
But a closer look at the market reveals a characteristic of this growth phase that you won't hear in a vendor sales pitch; innovation in CRM is dramatically slowing.
So what does this mean for users, vendors, and ultimately, the growth of CRM?
What happened to the innovators?
As markets form, the initial leaders are the vendors that develop cutting-edge breakthroughs in technology, though admittedly these innovations are marketed long before they are ready to be delivered.
Over time, as these new concepts and technologies become more accepted, they move into more mainstream companies, growth rates skyrocket, and the innovators either become the leaders or become acquired by less innovative, but more financially-viable companies. CRM is now in such a phase.
The CRM market is undeniably growing with phenomenal speed. But as the market moves out of infancy and the revenue line moves up the chart, the innovation line heads south.
Many users spend a great deal of time and money investing in knowledge bases and interaction management for the contact center. While users in the weak economy are not reluctant to buy CRM software, they are extending the sales cycle to make sure their choices are the wisest.
The customer is king
And the wise trader remembers that the customer is king. As they say, get the believers to
believe and then have them spread the gospel for you – so keeping the client happy is sound commercial sense.
In the search for the holy grail of customer contentment, Satmetrix Systems has launched a benchmarking program that allow customers to add a new metric to the satisfaction levels they track: how satisfied their customers are in comparison to industry standards.
The Market Stat benchmarking analysis will track standards for customer satisfaction across seven verticals: financial services, telecommunications, high-tech, internet / eCommerce, utilities, pharmaceuticals, and insurance.
This new program is offered as a hosted service. A combination of software and services that provides users with a snapshot of customer satisfaction levels, it is a logical addition. After a support interaction, the system will question customers how satisfied they are; on average, a 20% to 25% customer response rate, a number that doubles if customers are asked twice. It then maps this data against other customer responses and against information in a company's CRM systems to gauge satisfaction levels.
Getting your CRM act together
Customers do need to have their CRM act together before the system can really be of use – still an issue for many companies today.
There's no question that this addresses the ongoing crusade to develop a loyal customer base, and Satmetrix is developing a loyal customer base of its own. By using the product, however, its customers – and CRM vendor partners – are being asked to put their money where their mouths are. All that talk about wanting to know how customers really feel is finally within reach.
Partnerships work
Vendors have been racing to distinguish themselves from others by partnering with eProcurement vendors and integrating their applications. In this environment, time-to-market and partnership are critical.
Ariba has allied with Comergent and OrderFusion, with the goal of integrating punchout functionality in their respective applications, and Commerce One has sell-side partnerships with fourthchannel, HAHT Commerce, Intershop, InterWorld, Ironside Technologies, and now Blue Martini with the intention of integrating the corresponding roundtrip functionality.
Though punchout and roundtrip are widely regarded as the prize for suppliers struggling to maintain their brands, and online marketplaces lonely for traffic, few suppliers are close to supporting the technology, and only a few more have order management systems that integrate with procurement platforms at all.
Blue Martini's Adapter for Commerce One signals the next generation of alliance-driven technology. It is designed to let buyers and sellers transmit dynamic order specifics, such as pricing and availability, along with descriptive product content between order management and eProcurement applications.
With the ability to move product content directly from Blue Martini catalogs into Commerce One marketplaces, it may answer the prayers of many suppliers under pressure to bring their content to marketplaces quickly.

Eastop, Dinah and Dew, Charlotte (2006) Context and meaning generation: the conservation of garments deliberately concealed within buildings In, Saunders, David, Townsend, Joyce H. and Woodcock, Sally (eds.) The Object in Context: Crossing Conservation Boundaries. The 21st IIC International Congress London, UK, International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works pp. 17-22. (Contributions to IIC Congress Series).
This paper shows how the context (created from spatial, temporal and textual elements) has a profound effect on artefact conservation and demonstrates this via the Deliberately Concealed Garments Project (www.concealedgarments.org). There is a long-standing but seldom reported practice of deliberately concealing worn garments within the structure of buildings (e.g. alongside chimneys). These finds, usually uncovered during building work, are sometimes viewed as rubbish and are thrown away. Some are valued as evil-averting agents and are re-concealed. Some are valued as rare examples of dress. The significance attributed to the finds affects whether and how they are preserved. If they are valued primarily as rare garments, conservation may focus on preserving the finds themselves rather than on preserving evidence of concealment. The distinct phases of their 'life' and the range of meanings attributed to them mean that these garments provide a vivid model for analysing how understanding of context influences conservation.

What, me worry? Yes. The usual gang of idiots are reducing the publishing schedule of iconic MAD Magazine to only four issues a year. I used to love to read MAD growing up -- although the key word is "used to." Still, this is not good news.
Boy, is the entire publishing industry on this side of the world in trouble, or what? Don't people read anymore?
