About Gio A.Close
I currently teach trumpet at the New School for Leadership and the Arts, but I have many years' experience teaching music to students of all ages. I teach to the abilities, passions, and ambitions of the student(s).
About Gio
I have been teaching guitar, drums, and piano for about eight years to students of all ages. Music is what I'm passionate about and it's what I enjoy. I want to inspire that same passion into the hearts and minds of others.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am a laid-back teacher, fun, and I focus on the needs, abilities, and ambitions of the student. In turn, students must realize that learning an instrument takes a lot of work and dedication. One can't expect to learn very much if s/he only practices or thinks about the instrument during the lesson. If the student is willing to put some time into practicing, then I will help them go far!
*** Studi
I have several guitars, a drum kit, djembe, mandolin, clarinet and full-size keyboard.
*** Specialties ***
Guitar: Classical, jazz, American or Irish folk, rock and pop; lead or rhythm.
Drums & Percussion: All genres
Piano: Classical (includes sight reading)

About Jonathan S.Close
Everyone is unique (physically, mentally), and we all will play the trumpet our own way and for different reasons. Whether you want to learn how to build endurance, craft a beautiful tone, improvise or interpret classical works, you've come to the right place. I will cater what we work on to YOUR individual curiosity, interests, personal goals, and to how you naturally play the the trumpet. I will help you to discover your own voice on the trumpet, and at the same time make sure you develop great technique and musical ability. You will learn to control what and how you play, and grow as a musician!
About Jonathan
Most of the subjects I teach are music related, in which I have nearly 10 years of Conservatory training, a Bachelor, Master and Doctorate degree, as well as over 17 years experience performing, recording, and competing on an international level. While I have invested over 30,000 hours into musical training, my interests, practices, and skillsets extend beyond sound and visual art, and into the realm of philosophy, science, physics and spirituality.
As an trumpeter and composer, I've been recognized internationally, by way of several organizations:
As an educator, I have taught all-level/all-age group music playing and appreciation courses for several New York-based organizations: The Afro-Latin Jazz Academy, The Gramercy Brass Orchestra of New York, New York Ensemble Classes, the Lyceum Kennedy International School, Jubilee Enrichment Programs, and The New York Jazz Academy. I have also completed 6 semesters of service as a Graduate Part-Time Instructor at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where I taught multiple playing ensembles as well as three semesters of a 100+ student History of Jazz lecture class for non-majors.
I have also been practicing various forms of fitness, meditation and Yoga for the past 5 years. My studies span the gamut of psychology, philosophy, calisthenics, Astral Projection, Reiki, Vipassana Meditation, Visualization, and much more. I believe and live by the idea that creativity is an energy that flows through us, and one's creative abilities can be improved and expanded, through the emotional body, which is influenced by one's perceptions. Throughout my training in music, the arts, as well as my physical, mental and spiritual pursuits, I have realized that discipline, creative flow, and love for what one is and what one does can come together and yield great fulfillment and sense of purpose.
I teach out of a my home apartment studio on the upper east side, complete with weighted 88-key digital piano, Bose high quality speakers, recording equipment, as well as musical media, and tablature spanning many musical genres, cultures and time periods. I also am equipped with a spacious floor space for Yoga, Pilates, Weight Lifting, Meditation, and more. Additionally, I am able to travel to any location within the five boroughs for an additional travel fee (TBD based on location).
While I specialize in the following broad areas of musical study, my specialties are not limited to: General Music, Composition, Arranging, Ear Training, Music History (includes classical, jazz, and world musics), Music Theory, Sight Singing, and Songwriting. I also specialize in the following instruments: Trumpet, flugelhorn, and Piano/Keyboards.
I look forward to helping you realize your potential!

Meet the Business Owner
Business Owner
Dimitry Chernavsky is the Principal Clarinetist of the Livingston Symphony Orchestra, the Co-Principal of the Hanover Wind Symphony, and a member of the 'A La Mode' clarinet quartet.
Dimitry is a graduate of Kiev Tchaikovsky Conservatory, where he received a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Music Performance and Education.
· Clarinet · In studio
In a year's time with Mr. Dimitry, our son's progress has been very impressive. After our son started lessons with Mr. Dimitry, it quickly became apparent that Mr. Dimitry is a very experienced teacher for young musicians. He engages our son effectively to keep him interested in music and clarinet while at the same time sets high expectations for him. Our son always looks forward to clarinet lessons and also is motivated to practice pieces at home.
Mr. Dimitry not only teaches sound clarinet skills, but also emphasizes the importance of playing music the right way, that is to tell stories and express feelings through music rather than to play music like a technician. Although it is difficult for a young musician to fully appreciate this concept, it does go a long way in preparing him to become a really good musician in the long run.
Mr. Dimitry is very polite, pleasant and professional. We recommend him without any reservation.
· Music Performance · In studio
We plan to continue with Dimitry and hopefully advance to the clarinet once his fingers can cover the clarinet holes and he has learned more music theory. My son looks forward to his music lessons. We are very pleased with his musical instruction.
· Saxophone · In studio
As a senior in high school now graduating and transferring into college, I started my lessons with Dimitry in December last year and had to end this summer at the end of the music school's program. Even though my time learning the saxophone was short, Dimitry used my past musical experience to help guide me through the instrument. His lessons did not feel long in any sense of the word, and in fact some two-hour lessons I took to make up missed weeks blew by, as I was constantly engaged by his teachings. During my studies with him I found myself in the presence of a true musician, and this was only further driven home when I saw him play in the Hanover Wind Symphony at the Morristown Community Theater with Stanley Drucker. I would highly recommend Dimitry as an instructor for a student at any level.

About Reut R.Close

I am a professional full time Trombonist. At the same time, teaching has always been a big part of who I am - I love teaching. My music career has taken me around the world and back but more than that it has given me a wonderful tool of self expression, and for that I am forever grateful. My band performs regularly in Opera houses as well as coffee houses... Other than the Trombone I do play the Trumpet as well, and I have over 8 years of Piano under my belt. I feel very confident teaching Trumpet up to the advanced level. This is pretty much standard practice within the brass family :)
About Reut
I am a trombonist and teacher, with many years of experience teaching Hebrew as well as music.
As a music teacher I have worked with children starting from private lessons to young children beginning to learn, up to master classes in universities worldwide. I love teaching, and I feel confident teaching trombone and trumpet up to advanced level. For piano, I would prefer to stay with beginners and young ones only :) - but I promise you they will have a wonderful experience (and yes, I do have 8 years of piano studies under my belt).
As a Hebrew teacher, I teach both Hebrew reading and pronunciation and modern conversational Hebrew. My professional experience includes teaching at Golda Och Academy in West Orange, B'nai Abraham in Livingston, Central Synagogue in Manhattan and more, as well as many private lessons. In

About Rafael C.Close
Playing the trumpet is one of the greatest joys of my life and I want to share that joy with you. Whether you are to getting ready for a college audition, picking up the horn for again after putting it down fifteen years ago, or want to play better in high school band class, I am happy to help you. I cater my lessons based on the needs and goals of each student, so you can get the most out of each time we meet.
About Rafael
During my time at New School University, I had the opportunity to study with some truly world-class trumpet players during my time there - Jimmy Owens, Lew Soloff, Brad Goode, and John McNeil. Their guidance not only helped me become a better trumpeter and musician, but shaped the way I teach my students.
My job as your teacher is to enable your exploration and discovery. I'll provide you with the tools - understanding of how the trumpet works, understanding of the mechanics the body must utilize in order to play, how to practice - and then together we will discover the right way to apply those tools to your playing.

Introducing Postfixer
"Have you got anything without spam?"
We recently heard from a client concerned that a few of his customers weren't receiving automated emails. His email account was filling with hundreds of bounce notifications, customers were getting frustrated, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Inspection of the Postfix logs on his and several other servers revealed a systematic problem. When these apps were first deployed, most emails were successfully delivered to customers (although a few might have ended up in the Spam/Bulk folder). Over the years, however, the spam problem has only gotten worse; and email clients, ISPs, and mail services aggressively terminate suspect messages with extreme prejudice.
Enter Postfixer
Most of us aren't Postfix gurus, let alone email experts. Postfixer helps with the following error-prone tasks:
- Configuring Postfix properly
- Setting up the necessary DNS entries
- Testing everything to ensure your emails make it to the Inbox
Postfixer is a standalone utility powered by Capistrano. Git clone it, drop in a config file, and say goodbye to the Spam folder.
$ git clone https://github.com/sumbach/postfixer.git $ cd postfixer $ cp config-hostname.example.com.yml config-errbit.thinkrelevance.com.yml
Here's a sample config:
# # config-errbit.thinkrelevance.com.yml # canonical_hostname: errbit.thinkrelevance.com additional_hostnames: - utility.thinkrelevance.com email_domains: - thinkrelevance.com forwarding_address: firstname.lastname@example.com envelope_sender: email@example.com application_user: deploy sudo_user: deploy address: errbit.thinkrelevance.com
Let's break it down:
canonical_hostname: Fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) for your application server
additional_hostnames: Any additional hostnames that this server is known by (may be empty)
email_domains: All domains for which this server should be able to send email
- For example, if your application is accessed as http://errbit.thinkrelevance.com/, but its email comes from email@example.com, then email_domains should be "thinkrelevance.com".
- Every entry in email_domains should have DNS MX Records set up. You almost always want to send email from your registered domain (thinkrelevance.com), NOT from a hostname or subdomain (errbit.thinkrelevance.com, www.thinkrelevance.com, etc).
forwarding_address: Email address for local messages (such as errors from cron jobs)
- I typically use "errors@" followed by the first entry from email_domains.
- The domain (the part following the @ sign) MUST be included in email_domains.
- Email addressed to local user accounts (root, nobody, etc) will be forwarded to this address.
envelope_sender: SMTP envelope sender (where bounce messages end up)
- As with forwarding_address, the domain (the part following the @ sign) MUST be included in email_domains.
application_user: Local user account under which your application runs
- Emails addressed to this user's account (for example, error messages from cron jobs) will be sent to forwarding_address.
- Outgoing email from this user's account (messages sent by ActionMailer without an explicit From address or sent using the /usr/sbin/sendmail binary, for example) will be rewritten to change the From address to the forwarding_address set above.
sudo_user: Local user account with root sudo permissions
- Postfixer will SSH into the server using this account. Might be the same as application_user.
address: FQDN or IP address used to SSH into this server
Once you've updated your Postfixer config, a number of cap tasks are at your disposal:
$ export CONFIG=errbit.thinkrelevance.com # specifies which .yml file Postfixer uses $ cap email:send_test_email # send a test message $ cap email:check_dns # print a report of your existing DNS entries
The send_test_email task uses the very helpful port25 verifier. If you're like me, the response to the test email looks something like this:
========================================================== Summary of Results ========================================================== SPF check: softfail (BAD) DomainKeys check: neutral (BAD) DKIM check: neutral (BAD) Sender-ID check: softfail (BAD) SpamAssassin check: ham (GOOD)
Yuck! Let's fix that up.
$ cap email:install_packages # install DKIM-milter (and Postfix, if not installed) $ cap email:backup_config # archive your current config files $ cap email:generate_config # generate new config file based on the .yml $ cap email:install_config # copy new config files to the server $ cap email:restart # restart Postfix and DKIM-milter $ cap email:print_dns # generate a report of the DNS changes you should make
Based on the output from print_dns, you should add/update your DNS configuration. If you're using Slicehost for DNS, log in and edit DNS entries via SliceManager. Otherwise, check with your registrar (Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc).
(Note: print_dns assumes you're using Google Apps. If you're using your ISP's or your own incoming mail server, replace "include:_spf.google.com" in the SPF records with something appropriate to your setup.)
Once you've updated your Postfix config and DNS entries, give
cap email:send_test_email another try.
========================================================== Summary of Results ========================================================== SPF check: pass (GOOD) DomainKeys check: neutral (BAD) DKIM check: pass (GOOD) Sender-ID check: pass (GOOD) SpamAssassin check: ham (GOOD)
Ahhhhh, much better.
Postfixer does not (yet) check if your server is on a blacklist
- I recommend the awesome DNSBL Lookup tool from mxtoolbox.com
- If your server is on a blacklist, you'll need to request to be removed (the process should be available on the blacklist provider's web site)
Postfixer does not check for general DNS issues
- I recommend dnsvalidation.com
Posfixer does not (yet) support Yahoo DomainKeys (as seen in the port25 verifier results above)
- It does support the newer DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) standard which has largely displaced Yahoo's legacy solution.
Huge thanks to Relevance for giving me Fridays to make these kinds of contributions.

The Illusion of Separation
"A human being is a part of the whole called by us 'the universe,' a part limited in time and space," wrote Einstein in 1950. "He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest—a kind of optical illusion of consciousness." It's a brilliant and fascinating perspective, and science tells us that it's true. Our eyes inform us that there is a definite boundary between us and the world around us, and so we perceive ourselves as entities separate to the wider universe—as individuals just making our home in this vast place. But when we take a step back, we can see that we're molecular machines built from a specific arrange ments of atoms—atoms that existed before we were born and will continue to exist after we die. They were recycled from the dust of dead stars, and we're only their temporary custodians. Fundamentally, each of us is just a tiny individual expression of an enormous singular entity—so we are the universe perceiving and studying itself. The idea that the individual and the universe are inseparable is a humbling, counter-intuitive and ultimately awe-inspiring idea—there's a mad kind of beauty in knowing that we do not live in the universe, but rather we are the universe. As Feynman wrote: "I…a universe of atoms…an atom in the universe."

Jupiter's atmosphere is full of enduring mysteries, and its poles are no exception. Instruments aboard the Juno spacecraft have gotten a better look at Jupiter's North and South poles than any previous mission, and what they've found raises even more questions. Both of Jupiter's poles feature a central cyclone ringed by other, similarly-sized cyclones. The North pole has eight outer cyclones (top image), while the South pole has five (bottom image), shown above in infrared. Despite being close enough that their spiral arms intersect, the cyclones don't seem to be merging into something like Saturn's polar hexagon. For now, scientists don't know how this arrangement formed or why it persists, but the longer Juno can study the vortices up close, the more we'll learn.

Public Sector BYOD Series: Streamline IT for a Mobile-Ready Work Strategy
For this week's final Public Sector BYOD Thursday post, I wanted to discuss a survey that illustrated what employees want and need when it comes to IT in the workplace:
- Control over the work experience—the ability to use technology to personal preference, in ways that improve productivity and enhance job satisfaction.
- Choice when it comes to devices and the ability to use preferred, personally owned devices to complete work-related tasks.
- Flexibility to perform personal activities at work and work activities on personal time.
- Mobility that enables anytime, anywhere connections to colleagues, customers and partners.
It's with these findings in mind that Cisco developed a unified communications strategy that benefits governments, universities, schools and other public organizations—institutions whose employees also require a cutting-edge level of connectivity.
Cisco Unified Workspace combines end-to-end IT architecture that helps streamline IT processes and supports mobile-ready communications strategies. These solutions include cross-architecture platforms for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), desktop virtualization and mobile collaboration.
Just as we worked to satisfy employees' workplace technology desires, we also aim to address their concerns. Surveyed employees revealed reservations about ensuring data security and business continuity when implementing programs such as BYOD, along with doubts about being able to obtain sufficient IT support. We've purposely designed our "Unified Workplace" solutions to include network-based security. It's meant to integrate seamlessly with existing software and hardware in order to prevent business interruptions during implementation and avoid the need for constant access to IT experts and information.
In conclusion to this series, we hope we succeeded in sharing with you our vision of today's ideal, entirely mobile workplace. We look forward to helping you better serve your populations through enhanced communications that keep the public informed, protected, educated and engaged. With Cisco's Unified Workspace, we are enabling a mobile workspace that makes the people doing the hard work happy and satisfied, too.
*Cisco is also currently on the road talking about all things BYOD. Find out if it's coming to a city near you.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Trumbull football surprises Darien
TRUMBULL -- If there was one resounding message from Darien coach Rob Trifone to his Blue Wave players this week, it was a simple one: Do not take Trumbull lightly.
Going up against the sub-.500 Eagles, the Blue Wave never appeared to take their opposition lightly, but the Eagles simply made more plays to defend their home turf in a 39-26 win on the strength of a stellar performance by running back Ryan Pearson.
"He was fantastic. He made money yards," Trumbull coach Bob Maffei said. "We work hard, we lift, we run and we do our fundamentals every day and we try to get better as a football team week to week."
After Trumbull's defense forced a three-and-out to start the game, its special teams landed the first blow, as Andrew Marion blocked Darien's punt, scooped it up and went 30 yards untouched for a 7-0 lead.
Darien (3-2) countered when Nick Lombardo returned the ensuing kickoff 70 yards for a touchdown, knotting the game at 7-7.
Darien got good field position on its next possession and drove the ball to the Trumbull 15, but Trumbull's Mike Williams made a juggling interception and went 95 yards down the left sidelines to put his team in front 14-7.
"Right from the get-go, what that did was give a good team an opportunity," Darien coach Rob Trifone said. "We did just that, we dropped some passes right from the get-go. It gave them momentum and they started to play good footballl."
Darien got to within 14-13 when Christian Bognar carried the ball 51 yards to pay dirt in the second quarter, but Trumbull built its lead back to 20-13 on its next possession when quarterback Nick Roberts hit Daniel Paolino for a 21-yard touchdown with 40 seconds left in the half.
Trumbull (2-3) was back in business when Paolino notched an interception on Darien's next play from scrimmage and returned the ball 28 yards to the Blue Wave 28.
With the ball on yard from the Darien end zone one second remaining in the first half, Trumbull lined up for a field goal, prompting Darien to call a timeout. Next, Trumbull took a timeout of its own and decided to send its offense back on the field. On the final play of the first half, Pearson scored on a one-yard touchdown run off left guard for a 26-13 halftime advantage.
"I was thinking field goal and our linemen said we can get it. So I said `Ok, go get it,'" Maffei said.
Although it moved the ball in spurts all night, the Darien offense was plagued by turnovers and several dropped passes.
The second half started as a defensive stalemate and neither team could score until Pearson carried the rock 20 yards into the end zone for a 32-13 lead.
Darien kept its hopes alive when Henry Baldwin found Jackson Whiting for a four-yard touchdown to cut Trumbull's lead to 32-19 with 4:54 remaining, but Pearson scored again on a 21-yard touchdown run with 1:30 remaining.
Baldwin hit Lombardo for a 39-yard touchdown with 37 seconds remaining, but Trumbull recovered the onside kick to seal the game.
T--Andrew Marino, 30 block punt return (Ryan Pearson kick)
D--Nick Lombardo, 70 kick return (C.J. Raia kick)
T--Mike Williams, 95 interception return (Pearson kick)
D--Christian Bognar, 51 run (kick failed)
T--Daniel Paolino, 21 pass from Nick Roberts (kick failed)
T--Pearson, 1 run (kick failed)
T--Pearson, 20 run (run failed)
D--Jackson Whiting, 4 pass from Henry Baldwin (run failed)
T--Pearson, 21 run (Pearson kick)
D--Lombardo, 39 pass from Baldwin (Raia kick)
Records: Trumbull 2-3, Darien 3-2

GRAHAM � Sheriff Terry Johnson plans to ask the Alamance County Board of Commissioners tonight to consider pay raises for his employees.
Johnson is scheduled to present a staffing and retention proposal to the board during its meeting at 7 p.m. Alamance County Sheriff�s Office spokesman Randy Jones said on Monday the proposal will address the need for the county to implement pay raises for the sheriff�s office to keep staff.
Jones said the ACSO continues to lose some of its employees to law enforcement agencies in Guilford and Orange counties, where salaries are much higher. Jones said operational changes in staffing would also be discussed.
Jones said the sheriff would not be available to discuss the proposal in advance of the meeting. No information about it was included in an agenda packet for tonight�s meeting, which is made available to the public.
Several commissioners said on Monday that they are aware that Johnson plans to ask them to approve raises for his employees. Commissioner Linda Massey is skeptical of the idea.
�It�s not fair to approve raises for one department and not give other departments pay increases,� Massey said.
Commissioner David Smith said he would support the request because he believes there is a lot of turnover in the department and that raises are needed.
�You can�t blame them leaving for higher salaries,� Smith said. �We train them and get them certified. They stay for a year or two and then they go work somewhere else.�
Commissioner Bill Lashley said he believes Johnson plans to eliminate eight to 10 positions and use the lapsed salaries to pay for the proposed pay increases. Lashley said if Johnson is willing to trim his staff, he would consider approving the raise request.
Commissioner Tom Manning said he didn�t know details on the proposal.
Commissioner Tim Sutton said he asked the Sheriff�s Office to provide him with information on the proposal prior to the board meeting. He said Johnson�s plan calls for ACSO raises using lapsed salaries. Sutton said the board last year rejected a request from another county department wanting to use lapsed salaries to provide raises for its employees.
Sutton said he believes the sheriff�s office�s employee turnover rate isn�t something to be alarmed about since it isn�t above the state average. He said he supports Johnson but doesn�t believe providing raises for his department alone would be the best option.
Sutton said the staffing and retention plan would provide the county some savings after funds from the lapsed salaries were distributed and that he would prefer County Manager Craig Honeycutt consider what it would cost the county to provide pay raises for all county employees instead of just focusing on raises for the sheriff�s office.
Sutton criticized those involved in developing the plan for not providing all commissioners with the plan�s details prior to today�s meeting. More transparency is needed on the issue, he added.
Alamance County employees haven�t received a pay raise since June 2008. Honeycutt last year recommended a raise that was rejected by the commissioners when they approved the 2012-13 budget.

For SEC fans, there is no down time. It's a 24/7 proposition.
Soon, there will be a fix for SEC addicts.
The SEC Network goes on line in August 2014 with 24-hour programming. There will be football games, tennis matches and everything in between, plus studio shows and replays as well as coverage of national signing day and workouts for NFL teams.
All told, there will be 1,000 live sporting events in the first year — 450 on the network and 550 distributed digitally.
BIGGEST STADIUM IN SEC?: It's about to change
"There will be something for every SEC fan all the time," SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said during the announcement on Thursday.
There's no word yet on whether there will be daily updates on NCAA investigations or a Court TV segment on players, coaches and fans that have misbehaved.
It's good to be king. The SEC is dealing from a position of power, thanks in large part to its seven consecutive national football championships. That's one of the reasons the SEC Network figures to have such appeal outside the conference's 11-state footprint. SEC football plays well from coast to coast.
MIKE SLIVE: Q&A on expansion, retirement
It's a win/win for the conference and its fans. Some believe the combination of the current contract with CBS and the arrival of the SEC Network will produce in the neighborhood of $400 million in revenue annually — about $28.5 million per conference school. And that doesn't count other cash cows like the SEC Championship Game, conference tournaments, bowl payouts and the like.
Meanwhile, fans can overdose any hour of the day.
There's one burning question: What took so long?
The Big Ten Network hit the air in August 2007. The Pac-12 Network has been up and running for a year. There's even the Longhorn Network that specializes in University of Texas sports. The SEC is late to the dance.
In fairness, the SEC considered taking the TV plunge in 2008 but instead deferred until the second half. In doing so, the SEC has learned from the mistakes of others.
The Big Ten Network suffered through growing pains including distribution via different cable systems. And the Pac-12 Network, which launched last August, is not available on DirecTV.
The SEC should be able to avoid similar problems.
FOOTBALL DOMINANCE: NFL draft brings more proof
Slive correctly calls SEC fans "the most passionate, loyal fan base of any conference in the country," which sets the TV bar higher than other conferences.
"We believe that we have very significant opportunities to be successful beyond what's happened so far," he said.
The TV deal figures to promote change, including:
• A nine-game SEC football schedule is right around the corner. The sound you just heard is a huff of disapproval from SEC football coaches. They believe eight conference games is about four too many. They consider a ninth SEC game career suicide.
Too bad. With the need for more and better inventory, it's just a matter of time before a ninth SEC game is birthed, up from the eight-game schedule that has been in effect since divisional play began in 1992.
• Look for some scheduling adjustments in football. With the need for four quality games for TV (one on CBS and three on ESPN), the SEC can't afford to have a weak Saturday like Nov. 17 last year, when the top games were LSU-Ole Miss, Arkansas-Mississippi State and Vanderbilt-Tennessee.
• Non-conference basketball schedules will be upgraded. This already was being encouraged by the conference office but it now becomes a necessity in order to please business partner ESPN.
• Slive downplays it but there is sure to be speculation about further SEC expansion. Some influential SEC figures already have their eyes on the states of Virginia and North Carolina, where sizable TV markets like Washington, D.C., Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham have great appeal.
As for the formation of the SEC Network, it's purely a business decision.
And business is booming in the SEC.

Greinke was tossed from a Saturday start after four pitches. So he came back on Sunday and started—poorly (three runs in three innings). And, tonight, the all-star break's over, and Greinke's starting against the Pirates. No, it's not quite superhuman, but it is quirky. [Twitter]

Closer, the French tabloid that brought a recent scoop about the end of Dominique Strauss Kahn's marriage, apparently has another scoop— Kate Middleton topless.
The magazine says that it has photos of Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William on a "very hot holiday in Provence". A blurry cover featuring the headline "OH MY GOD" can also be seen on Closer's website.
The preview also says (rough translation):
"At the chateau, Kate was perfecting her tan and spread SPF 50 sun tan, while William was tapping his fingers on a table. And to avoid streaky tan marks, Kate thought it all the way through…and took off her bathing suit."
After Prince Harry's Las Vegas escapades, the interesting angle to watch here may be how the British press responds to another set of scandalous photos involving a royal.

Head Of The Quintero Drug Trafficking Enterprise Convicted
SAN ANTONIO, TX - Juan Jose Quintero-Payan, 69, of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit (RICO), José Angel Moreno and John E. Murphy, United States Attorneys for the Southern and Western District of Texas, respectively, announced today along with Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement (DEA) Thomas E. Hinojosa and Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal (IRS-CI) Rodney E. Clarke.
"This is a great day for all law enforcement everywhere," said Hinojosa. "The perseverance of all those involved in the drive to bring Juan Jose Quintero-Payan to justice is quite an achievement. Our people did what they do best and didn't let time thwart their efforts. Justice has been served."
According to the charges to which he pleaded guilty and the plea agreement filed in open court, Quintero-Payan was a leader of a long standing criminal enterprise whose operations spanned from Colombia and Peru in South America, to Mexico, the Cayman Islands and to the United States, between 1978 to March 2002, when the current superseding indictment was filed. The charged conduct includes the movement of numerous multi-ton loads of marijuana to the United States from Mexico, using specially altered natural gas tanker trucks, via El Paso, Texas. Multi-ton quantities of cocaine were acquired from Colombia and Peru for smuggling into Mexico by Quintero-Payan and other members of the conspiracy for re-shipment to the United States. According to the factual summary in the plea agreement, in one eight-month period alone, more than 90,000 kilos of marijuana were smuggled into the United States.
The charges detailed the movement of more than $20 million in United States currency into banks in California and Texas and other deposits into banks in New York and the Cayman Islands. A network of real estate was allegedly acquired in Texas and California related to the drug enterprise's operations to include ranches, airstrips and residences.
"We are pleased that Quintero-Payan has finally been brought to justice in the United States," said Clarke. "This case represents yet another example of the immense partnership and commitment between federal law enforcement agencies, the Department of Justice and the Mexican Government in their resolve to disrupt criminal organizations that commit narcotics and financial crimes against the United States. Criminal organizations like the one headed up by Quintero-Payan are motivated by greed and in most instances this is what ultimately leads to their downfall." In addition, Clarke commended the unwavering efforts and commitment of all of the agents and the prosecutors involved with this case throughout the years.
The charges grew out of a joint investigation coordinated by prosecutors in the Western District of Texas and Southern District of Texas dubbed Operation Cash Crop. The initial indictment was first brought in 1985 in San Antonio, Texas, which was superseded in March 1986 naming Quintero-Payan and 49 other defendants. Portions of those charges were tried in 1986 in San Antonio with additional prosecutions occurring in San Antonio and Brownsville, Texas, as a result of this investigative effort. The Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task (OCDETF) investigation was led by the DEA and IRS-CI with assistance from Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Homeland Security Investigations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and (ATF), the United States Customs Service, now part of the Department of Homeland (DHS), and the Narcotics Service of the Texas Department of Public (DPS).
Following the return of a sealed superseding indictment by a San Antonio grand jury and the issuance of a provisional arrest warrant in 2002, Quintero-Payan was arrested in Mexico. He fought against his extradition for eight years but landed in the U.S. on April 23, 2010, to face the federal charges.
Moreno praised the dedication and pursuit of justice by the agents and prosecutors whose efforts to bring Quintero-Payan spanned four decades. Borrowing a phrase from the legendary Texas Rangers, Moreno noted, "No one in the wrong can stop those in the right who just won't quit." He also cited the ongoing and successful efforts of the Office of International Affairs, Criminal Division, United States Department of Justice and Mexico's Procuraduria General De La (Office of the General Prosecutor of Mexico), both of which have worked in partnership for years with the Southern and Western Districts of Texas to achieve the extradition of Quintero to the United States and his successful prosecution.
Per the terms of the plea agreement filed of record today, which incorporates conditions of the extradition, the United States will recommend Quintero be sentenced to 222 months incarceration without parole at his sentencing scheduled for Oct. 5, 2011, at 9:30 a.m. Quintero-Payan has been in federal custody since his extradition and will remain in custody pending sentencing.
Assistant United States Attorney Charles Lewis of the Southern District of Texas prosecuted the Quintero-Payan case in the San Antonio Division of the Western District of Texas.

Looks like George Strait will be starring in a new movie titled "A Pure Country Gift."
Reports are saying that the movie will be about three angels who give the gift of a beautiful singing voice to a newborn girl. As she gets older she breaks some of the angels' rules and they take away her singing voice.
Katrina Elam will also be acting in the movie. She is played as a 9-year-old by Kaitlyn Dorff, daughter of Steve Dorff, who composed the music for the original "Pure Country" and will also compose the music for the upcoming movie.
The movie will be directed by Chris Cain, which directed Strait's previous movie "Pure Country" and is being filmed in Nashville where there has been a few chance to be an "extra"
It appears to be a holiday themed movie, and possible release date during the holiday season of 2010.

Father of the Bride:
Father of the Bride is a novel by Edward Streeter. It has been adapted for two films, one starring Spencer Tracy and the other Steve Martin. It was also a popular TV series and then it was adapted for the stage.
Father of the bride is a timeless tale of a father who struggles to come to terms with the fact that his daughter is now grown up, she is going to get married and leave home. The story while being comedic is also full of touching moments and makes for a great family drama.
George Banks, the father, was played by Spencer Tracey in the 1950 film. Then CBS aired it as a TV series from 1961 to 62. It also returned to screen in 1991 with Steve Martin in the lead role. Caroline Francke later adapted it for the stage. Perhaps the radio is the only medium where the story has not been told.
Anybody who has been involved in putting a wedding together will relate to the many challenges and roadblocks that have to be overcome till the time the bride walks to the altar. Add to this already difficult time the unwillingness of a doting father to let go of his darling daughter and the story takes a comedic yet tender tone.
Disney Father of the Bride theater tickets are for those who enjoy good clean fun, a family drama with a lot of laughs. Get your Father of the Bride tickets for an evening of fun and laughter with the whole family. Doting fathers, daddy's girls and the entire family will enjoy watching how George Banks struggles to come to terms with the truth that his daughter is now a grown woman.

My husband gave me a wonderful Xmas present, a used Gammill Classic Plus on a 14 ft. frame, but even better still, he remodeled our old, yucky workshop, which is adjacent to my quilting studio to make room for it. Here are some before, during and after photos you might be interested in. And for what it's worth, every piece of furniture, shelving, cabinets etc., even my Gammill are used, re-purposed, thrift store or refinished . The corner cabinets were a thrift store buy for $20, the rocker and footstool were in my basement for the last 18 years, the shelves were in the workshop (and were gross!), and the black and white drawer cabinets were elsewhere in my house - I just painted them, and voila! It's my slice of heaven! Hope all your quilting dreams come true in 2013 too!

Islanders looking for more consistency this seasonby Brian Compton
Expectations were high for the New York Islanders one year ago. They were coming off a strong second half of the 2010-11 season and appeared to be on the verge of bigger and better things.
Instead, the 2011-12 campaign provided more anguish. The Isles stumbled through the month of November -- they won four of 13 games and were shut out four times -- and never fully recovered. They ended up finishing in the bottom five of the NHL standings for a fifth straight year.
"I think consistency had a big part in that," Isles coach Jack Capuano told NHL.com regarding the shortcomings last season. "I thought that times throughout the year, our battle level was high and our will to compete was high, but special teams went through a little bit of a funk. We just didn't generate the offense like we did in the second half of the year.
"It's about coming to the rink every day to get better. We talk about these things and the intangibles for what it's going to take for our team to get to the postseason. Some of our younger players now I think are at that point now where I think they're going to take that next step."
30 in 30: New York Islanders
Boyes looks to bounce backBy Brian Compton - NHL.com Deputy Managing Editor
Three seasons have passed since Brad Boyes last reached the 30-goal plateau. If he's ever going to return to All-Star form, it will likely come in 2012-13 as a member of the New York Islanders. READ MORE ›
The Isles used their latest lottery pick on hulking defenseman Griffin Reinhart, who met the team's brass on the podium at the Consol Energy Center only moments after the club had acquired blueliner Lubomir Visnovsky from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a second-round pick in 2013. Whether Visnovsky ever plays for the club remains to be seen, as he is challenging that a no-trade clause was still in effect. An arbitration hearing is scheduled for Sept. 4, according to the New York Post.
New York, which finished 23 points out of fourth place in the Atlantic Division, made subtle changes when the free-agency period opened on July 1. The Islanders watched winger PA Parenteau -- who put up 120 points in two seasons -- sign a four-year, $16 million contract with the Colorado Avalanche, then replaced him with Brad Boyes on a one-year, $1 million deal.
Boyes, who had 43 goals for the St. Louis Blues in 2007-08, scored just eight times in 65 games for the Buffalo Sabres last season. Boyes will likely get to skate with John Tavares, the budding superstar who had 81 points (31 goals, 50 assists) in his third NHL season and emerged as a leader in New York's dressing room.
Frans Nielsen continues to be one of the more underrated centers in the League and was rewarded with a new four-year contract last season, but will he be the Isles' No. 2 or No. 3 center? That depends on Ryan Strome, their first-round pick from 2011. It's likely Strome will receive a nine-game look in the NHL before the Isles determine whether to keep him or return him to the Niagara IceDogs in the Ontario Hockey League. If Strome stays and performs, the Isles suddenly become strong down the middle with Tavares, Strome, Nielsen, Casey Cizikas and Marty Reasoner all in the mix.
"We have to make a push this year, and to me, the young guys that come in if they compete and do the job, there's always going to be a spot on our team," Capuano said. "If the coaching staff thinks they can step in and help our team win, then they're going to get every opportunity. A lot of these kids are highly skilled, and that's something that we need with the production we put up last year with the goals for versus goals against (203 for, 255 against).
"I'm really looking forward to seeing Ryan come in. He had a great year last year. It's going to be interesting to see how he does in camp and how he fits in our plans."
Matt Moulson -- one of the better finds by any NHL team in the past few seasons -- is coming off his third straight 30-goal season and leads the Isles' young group of wingers. Kyle Okposo struggled out of the gate, but finished strong with 24 goals. Michael Grabner, a finalist for the Calder Trophy in 2011, saw his goals total dip from 34 to 20 and will look to bounce back this season. Josh Bailey was converted from center to wing during the 2011-12 campaign and had 17 points in his final 19 games.
Matt Martin, 23, led the entire League in hits (374) and could see his role grow. The same goes for David Ullstrom, who split last season between New York and Bridgeport. Veteran enforcer Eric Boulton, who spent 2011-12 with the New Jersey Devils, is also in the fold after signing a one-year contract last month.
Nino Niederreiter -- the club's first-round pick (No. 5) in 2010 -- struggled mightily as a rookie in the NHL, tallying one goal in 55 games. While it's likely the Swiss winger is ticketed for Bridgeport to start the season, it's possible he could see some action on Long Island. Niederreiter turns 20 on Sept. 8.
"Nino and I have had some great talks," Capuano said. "He didn't have the year he wanted or the year we thought he'd have, but he's still just a young kid and I think you can lose sight of that. It was a good learning experience for him. Coming off the year that he had, there's no question you know what your expectations are for yourself now. You know exactly the mistakes that you've made and some of the good things you've done. I think Nino has a real good understanding now if he wants to be a successful player, he knows exactly what he has to do now."
Needing an upgrade in toughness on their blue line, the Islanders signed defenseman Matt Carkner to a three-year contract. Carkner, 31, was limited to 29 regular-season games for the Ottawa Senators last season because of a knee injury, but returned for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
"Matt was in Binghamton when I was in Bridgeport and we played against him quite a bit and had our battles," Capuano said. "To have that size and grit on our blue line is something we need for sure. He's excited about coming to Long Island and being a part of the Islanders. It's definitely going to give us a boost on the back end."
Carkner will likely find himself on a third-pairing with whichever rookie (Calvin de Haan, Matt Donovan or Aaron Ness) wins a job in training camp -- a competition Capuano is looking forward to witnessing.
"All three have played real well," the Isles' coach said. "I'm excited to see these young guys develop. The coaching staff in Bridgeport did a great job with the kids. The one thing that I saw in those guys besides the hockey sense is their body and how they change and how they mature and their strength. When they came up, they played well for us. It's healthy competition and it's going to be a great situation for those guys to have an opportunity to make our hockey club."
Mark Streit, who was named captain last September, is entering the final season of the five-year deal he signed with the club in the summer of 2008 and is a full season removed from the shoulder injury that sidelined him for the entire 2010-11 campaign. Leading the way on the Isles' blue line, however, is 22-year-old Travis Hamonic, a second-round pick from 2008 who had 24 points and a plus-6 rating in 73 games last season. Joined by Andrew MacDonald and, hopefully Visnovsky, the Isles have a solid top-four.
"Travis is one of those guys … he's very mature for his age and he's a leader on and off the ice," Capuano said. "He's a special player and a special person. He and Andrew MacDonald -- two young kids -- they've played real well for us and accepted the challenge of playing against top lines. When you miss a year like Streit did, he really started to come on the second half of the year. He's a great leader for us. When you talk about those three guys, it's a great foundation for our team."
Evgeni Nabokov returns as the club's No. 1 goaltender after putting up solid numbers (19-18-3, 2.55 goals-against average, .914 save percentage) in 2011-12. He will be backed up by some combination of Rick DiPietro, Kevin Poulin and Anders Nilsson. DiPietro is healthy entering training camp after injuries again limited him to fewer than 10 appearances last season (he had a 3.73 GAA and .876 save percentage in eight games). Should the injury bug continue to haunt him, both Poulin and Nilsson had cups of coffee in New York last season and are capable of backup duty at the NHL level.
"Obviously, Nabokov is a guy that played real well for us last year," Capuano said. "Ricky unfortunately got injured last year, but when Ricky's healthy, he's played well. It's the first summer that I know that Ricky has been able to train the proper way. He hasn't had to do much rehab that he's had to do in the past and he's working really hard on and off the ice to get ready for the upcoming season."
So, can the Islanders compete in an Atlantic Division that boasted four 100-point teams in 2011-12? That remains to be seen, but Capuano knows it begins with faring better against the four biggest foes after going 8-13-3 within the Atlantic last season.
"When you break it all down, that division is as tough as it gets," Capuano said. "It starts with the goaltenders in that division. All games are critical, but when you play within the division, they're four-point games. We understand that. I think the confidence in the guys is there. They know that if we play within the framework and the foundation of how we want to play, we can have success."
