Early years and playing career
Richt was born in Omaha, Nebraska.[1] He graduated in 1978 from Boca Raton High School in Boca Raton, Florida where he was a star quarterback. He played at the University of Miami in the early 1980s, graduating in 1982. He served as backup quarterback to future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly.
Coaching career
Mark Richt started his coaching career in 1985 as a volunteer quarterbacks coach for the Florida State Seminoles (FSU) serving under Bobby Bowden. Richt left the Seminoles to join East Carolina University as their offensive coordinator in 1989. After one year at East Carolina, Richt returned to Florida State to serve as the Seminoles' quarterbacks coach. He was promoted to offensive coordinator in 1994 upon the departure of Brad Scott. Under Richt's direction, Florida State had some of college football's most explosive offenses. In his seven years as offensive coordinator the Seminoles ranked in the nation's top five scoring offenses on five occasions, were top twelve in total offense five times and top twelve in passing offense five times. The 2000 Seminoles offense finished the regular season ranked first nationally in total offense (549.0 yards per game), first in passing offense (384.0 ypg) and third in scoring offense (42.4 points per game).
During his tenure as an assistant coach at Florida State, Richt coached two Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks Charlie Ward and Chris Weinke respectively and was part of two national championships (1993 and 1999).[2]
Richt was hired as head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs before the 2001 season, replacing Jim Donnan. Richt recounted the moments leading up to being named UGA's head coach in an interview, saying:
In December 2000, [the University of Georgia's] President Michael Adams and then Athletic Director Coach Vince Dooley came to Tallahassee and interviewed me for the position of Head Coach of the UGA Bulldogs. After many hours of prayer, Coach Dooley called me and I accepted the position. We moved to Athens in January 2001 and have truly been blessed. We have a great church, an outstanding school for the children and a wonderful staff. Throughout all of life I try to live according to COLOSSIANS 3:23 – "And whatever you do, do heartily, as to the LORD and not to men.[3]
In his first seven seasons at Georgia, Richt's teams won two Southeastern Conference Championships (2002 and 2005), and as of 2012, he has won six SEC Eastern Division titles (2002, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2011 and 2012). His team represented the SEC in three BCS bowl appearances with a record of 2–1, and finished in the top ten of the final AP Poll six times (2002–2005, 2007, 2012).
In 2011 during his 11th season at Georgia he collected his 100th career victory by leading the Bulldogs to a win over the Tennessee Volunteers in Knoxville on October 8th.
While coaching at Georgia, Richt has been a strong opponent of oversigning, a practice popular in the SEC, believing that a scholarship is a 4-year commitment.
2001 season
Richt's first season was an up-and-down one for him as well as the team. After a disappointing early-season home loss to South Carolina, the Bulldogs rebounded a month later to shock Tennessee in Knoxville 26–24 on a touchdown pass from David Greene to Verron Haynes with only five seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. The play, known in Georgia lore as the "Hobnail Boot" (a phrase coined by legendary Georgia football announcer Larry Munson following the play), was one of the most memorable in school history, and the win established Georgia as a rising program under Richt's leadership. The team defeated in-state rival Georgia Tech for the first time since 1997. With an 8–3 regular season record under their new Coach, the Bulldogs post-season hopes were high. They settled for an invitation to the Music City Bowl where they fell to an inspired Boston College team. The Bulldogs final record of 8–4 made Richt's rookie campaign the most successful for a first year Georgia Bulldog Head Coach since Harry Stegeman's team posted an undefeated 8–0–1 season in 1920.
2002 season
If Richt had skeptics after his first season, they began to disappear in 2002. After winning several close games early in the season, the Bulldogs steadily climbed towards the top of the SEC standings and national polls. Entering their annual showdown with SEC rival Florida, the Bulldogs were 8–0 and ranked No. 4 in the country, with a chance to clinch the SEC East title. Missed opportunities in the game's second half marred Georgia's chances, and they suffered a devastating loss that essentially ended any chance of winning a national title. The Bulldogs rebounded the following week by easily defeating Ole Miss, setting up a matchup on the road against Auburn with the division championship on the line. Georgia trailed for most of the game, but pulled to within 21–17 late in the fourth quarter. After getting inside the Tigers' red-zone late in the game, Georgia's final drive stalled, and they were left with a 4th and 14 situation on Auburn's 19 yard-line and little more than a minute remaining. With their SEC championship hopes down to a flicker, Greene completed a miraculous touchdown pass to Michael Johnson, giving Georgia a 24–21 lead and the victory. With the SEC East title in hand, the Bulldogs played with new-found confidence to end the season. They drubbed Georgia Tech 51–7 in Athens, the second most lopsided win in the history of the series, and then crushed Arkansas 30–3 in the SEC Championship game, giving the school its first SEC crown since 1982. Richt defeated his mentor Bobby Bowden and Florida State 26–13 in the Sugar Bowl, giving Georgia a 13–1 record and No. 3 national ranking in both polls.
2003 season
Richt's team earned the chance to defend their SEC title in 2003 following a 10–2 regular season that included a 30–0 shutout win at Clemson, a 41–14 thrashing of Tennessee in Knoxville, as well as a third consecutive win over Georgia Tech. The SEC title game offered Georgia a rematch with LSU, which had defeated Georgia 17–10 in a memorable September showdown. The Tigers defeated Georgia 34–13 in that game, winning the SEC title and a berth in the 2004 Sugar Bowl. Richt and the Bulldogs rebounded and defeated Purdue in the Capital One Bowl, 34–27 in overtime, despite surrendering a 24–0 first half lead. It was another solid season for Richt, as his team finished with an 11–3 record and a No. 7 finish in the AP Poll.
2004 season
The Bulldogs entered the 2004 season ranked No. 4 in the country, and were a consensus pick to win the SEC. After a come-from-behind road win over South Carolina and a 45–16 thumping of a top ten LSU team, Georgia appeared to be living up to preseason expectations. An upset 19–14 loss to Tennessee in early October, however, ended Georgia's hopes of a national title and put the Bulldogs behind the Volunteers in the SEC East. While they posted a 10–2 record, which included the school's first win over Florida since 1997, many Bulldog fans considered the year a disappointment, as the team failed to reach the SEC title game for the first time in three years. The Bulldogs did finish the season in winning fashion by defeating the Wisconsin Badgers 24–21 in the Outback Bowl, in Tampa, Florida. Senior QB David Greene became the winningest QB in NCAA history with 42 wins and also the SEC's all-time leader in passing yards with 11,270. David Pollack and Thomas Davis were voted consensus All-Americans.
2005 season
Expectations were lower going into 2005, as the Bulldogs were picked by the media to finish just third in the SEC East. Led by senior quarterback D. J. Shockley and a veteran defense, Georgia got off to a fast 7–0 start, including a 27–14 win over Tennessee that gave the Bulldog's control of the division. Georgia lost two straight heartbreakers to Florida (without the services of Shockley, who was injured in the previous game versus Arkansas) and Auburn before clinching the SEC East with a win over Kentucky. Another win over Georgia Tech gave Georgia a 9–2 regular season finish. Playing in their third SEC Championship game in four years, the Bulldogs ambushed 3rd-ranked LSU, jumping out to a quick 14–0 lead and cruising to a 34–14 win, giving Richt his second SEC title at Georgia. However, the season ended on a sour note for Georgia, as they could not overcome a 28–0 deficit to West Virginia in the Sugar Bowl (played in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta due to the damage caused in New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina), falling 38–35.
2006 season
2006 was one of Richt's most frustrating seasons at the school. Although the team started 5–0, close wins over Colorado and Ole Miss raised cause for concern. Those concerns proved to be justified as Georgia, hampered by turnovers and uncharacteristically poor play from their defense, lost four of their next five games. The slide began with a 51–33 home loss to Tennessee, Richt's worst ever defeat at Sanford Stadium. The team played Vanderbilt, Mississippi State and Florida all at home,(the Florida game was in Jacksonville) managing to beat only Mississippi State. The team then traveled to Kentucky where it was defeated by four points before closing out the season with wins over Auburn and Georgia Tech, and then beating Virginia Tech in the Chick-fil-A bowl in Atlanta. While Georgia failed to reach ten wins or finish in the top-10 of the polls for the first time since 2001, the strong finish provided optimism heading into the 2007 season.
2007 season
2007 was one of Richt's best and most exciting years at Georgia. The Bulldogs' performance was inconsistent in the first half of the season as they posted big wins over Oklahoma State and Alabama but suffered damaging losses to division rivals South Carolina and Tennessee. The team appeared to be in disarray following a close win at Vanderbilt and the remainder of the season did not look promising. In response, Richt began going to his bag of tricks in an effort galvanize his struggling team. At the coach's behest, Georgia received 30 yards of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties following a touchdown on their opening drive against Florida after the entire Georgia football team ran on the field in jubilation. Perhaps energized by the celebration, the Bulldogs defeated the Gators 42–30 setting the table for a big finish to the season. Richt's team defeated Auburn 45–20 marking the first time Georgia defeated the Gators and Tigers in the same season since 1982. During the game, Georgia wore black jerseys for the first time in the modern era. The team tied a school record with a seventh consecutive victory over Georgia Tech, and by ending the regular season with a six-game winning streak rose to 4th in both the Associated Press and USA Today polls as well as the BCS rankings. The Bulldogs earned the honor of being "SEC Eastern Division Co-Champions at 6–2 in SEC."[4] However, by virtue of their loss to Tennessee they did not earn the opportunity to appear in the SEC Championship Game. The Bulldogs represented the SEC in the Sugar Bowl against Hawaii replacing SEC champion LSU which was selected for the BCS National Championship Game. Georgia again donned black jerseys and routed the Warriors 41–10 to close out the season with an 11-2 record and ranked No. 2 in the AP poll, giving Richt his highest final ranking in that poll to date. It also marked Georgia's highest end-of-season ranking since winning the national championship in 1980. The win also gave Mark Richt the distinction of being the only head coach at Georgia to win the Sugar Bowl game more than once during his career.
Florida celebration incident
On October 27, 2007, during the Bulldogs' heated rivalry game against the Florida Gators, the entire Georgia football team rushed into the end zone to celebrate after Knowshon Moreno's one-yard touchdown run gave Georgia an early 7–0 lead. The celebration drew two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties that eventually forced the Bulldogs to kick off from their own eight-yard line; during halftime, Richt told CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson that he had told his offense to celebrate the first touchdown until they received a penalty. The entire team planned to rush the field themselves. Georgia went on to win 42–30. The victory gave Georgia their 47th win in the series with Florida, which Georgia leads 48–40–2 even though Richt is 5–8 against the Gators.
Richt later apologized in writing to Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive: "I apologize that I put everyone in that situation and specifically apologize to you, the Southeastern Conference, and the University of Florida. You can be assured I will not ask our team to do this type of thing again." The Southeastern Conference took no disciplinary action against Richt and the NCAA also did not impose sanctions.[5]
2008 season
On March 6, 2008 it was announced that Mark Richt had been granted a pay increase from $2.2 million per year to $2.8 million per year, making him the fifth-highest-paid coach in the SEC. His contract runs through the 2013 season. Coming off of their eleven wins against only two losses during the 2007 season, expectations were high for the Bulldogs as they entered the 2008 season ranked number one in the country in the both the Coaches and AP Poll. His team finished the season with a relatively disappointing 10–3 record with losses to Alabama, Florida and Georgia Tech. The season ended on a positive note with the Bulldogs beating Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl and a ranking of tenth in the final Coaches Poll. The victory made him 6–2 overall in eight seasons and 3–0 against the Big Ten Conference in Bowl Games. His two offensive stars, quarterback Matthew Stafford and tailback Knowshon Moreno, declared for the NFL draft following the season and were both picked in the first round with Stafford becoming the number one pick overall.[6]
2009 season
An opening day loss against the 9th ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys in Stillwater, Oklahoma marked the beginning of an up and down season for Mark Richt's Bulldogs. Highlights included two season ending victories at 7th ranked Georgia Tech and over Texas A&M in the Independence Bowl. Those wins gained Richt his 9th winning season in as many years as the Bullogs closed out the year with an 8–5 record.
2010 season
A freshman quarterback, a new defensive cooridnator and scheme, inconsistent effort from his running backs, injuries to an already thin offensive line, the suspension of star receiver AJ Green for the first four games for NCAA rules violations, a seemingly endless stream of off field distractions from his players and the resulting disciplinary actions[7] and an Athletics Director who was dismissed in disgrace[8] were more than Richt was able to overcome over the course of a forgettabale 2010 season. The Bulldogs finished with a losing 6–7 record. Richt did manage to take the Bulldogs to their tenth straight Bowl Game. He also continued to dominate in state rival Georgia Tech by winning his second game in row over them making it nine victories out of ten games against the Yellow Jackets in his head coaching career.
2011 season
Coming off of two straight dissatisfying seasons including his first losing season in 2010 during a stretch in which the SEC had produced five consecutive BCS National Champions among four separate conference members, Richt was under pressure to get the Bulldog program back on the winning track in 2011.[9] Two losses to open the season made the prospects of doing that slim. But an infusion of young talent paired with a soft SEC schedule allowed the Bulldogs to rebound with ten straight victories. Their 10–2 record was good enough to win the SEC Eastern Division title and earned the Bulldogs their fourth appearance in the SEC Championship with Richt at the helm. Their opponent in the Championship game was the undefeated and #1 ranked nationally LSU Tigers. The Bulldogs were impressive in the first half taking a 10–7 lead over the heavily favored Tigers into the locker room. But the Bulldogs were brought back to earth in the second half as LSU took control for a commanding victory thumping Georgia 42-10. The Bulldogs' 10 wins however earned them an invitation to the 2012 Outback Bowl. The Bulldogs lost the game 33–30 in triple-overtime to the Michigan State Spartans.[10]
On June 7, 2012, UGA President Michael F. Adams announced that Richt had signed a three-year contract extension with the school, which would make him head coach through the 2016 season.[11]
2012 season
Coming fresh off a new contract extension which was reportedly worth $2.81 million annually[12] head football coach Mark Richt and the bulldogs prepared for the 2012 season. Finishing with a 12-2 record with loses coming to the University of South Carolina and the University of Alabama in the SEC championship, the Bulldogs experienced one of their best seasons yet. After suffering a 33-30 triple overtime defeat in the Outback Bowl to end the 2011 season the Bulldogs were more determined than ever to be a solid football team. Under the guidance of junior quarterback Aaron Murray the Bulldogs got off to a strong start going 5-1 during the first half of the season with the only loss coming to the University of South Carolina. As the season progressed the Bulldogs made their 5th SEC championship appearance under Mark Richt taking on #1 Alabama. During the game Murray was 18 of 33 for 265 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception.[13] The night however belonged to the rushing tandem of Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon who rushed for 181 and 153 yards respectively. This proved to be enough as Alabama went on to win 32-28. The loss in the SEC championship however did not spell the end to Georgia's season as they went on to win the 2013 Capital One Bowl defeating Nebraska 45-31,[14] and earn top-5 rankings in both the final AP and Coaches' polls.
Off the field
On September 12, 2006, General Mills began featuring Richt and the Bulldog football program on the cover of Wheaties cereal boxes. The side of the box states this:
Tradition is defined as "the handing down of beliefs, legends, and customs from generation to generation," and over the past century, Georgia has built a profound legacy around college football, putting its stake in the ground for generations to come. University of Georgia teams have been recognized as national champions five times (1927, 1942, 1946, 1968 and 1980) throughout history. In addition, the Bulldogs have earned the sixth-most bowl invitations in the history of college football and boast two Heisman Trophy winners.
Richt appeared in the movie Facing the Giants as the former coach of the movie's main character, Grant Taylor. IMDB lists Mark Richt as himself in the movie credits, but in the movie credits he is listed as "Grant's former coach".[15]
Personal life
Richt is married to the former Katharyn Francis of Tallahassee, Florida. The couple have four children: Jonathan (born March 11, 1990), David (born December 1, 1994), and two children they adopted from Ukraine in 1999, Zach (born May 15, 1996), and Anya (born February 13, 1997), who was born with a rare disorder known as proteus syndrome. Richt is a Christian.[16][17]
ESPN's College GameDay featured a documentary on October 25, 2008 titled "GameDay looks at the Richt family's adoption of a young boy and girl from Ukraine" detailing the Richts' personal story of the adoption of their two youngest children Zach and Anya. The Richts declined on several occasions to publicly share their adoption story before deciding to proceed with the hope that it would encourage other families to explore the rewards of adoption.[18]

It's widely believe that Facebook's Instagram will reveal a new video feature tomorrow.
In fact, Instagram's CEO Kevin Systrom mysteriously cancelled a pre-arranged appearance at the Cannes Lions advertising festival this week so he could be at the press event.
Video is so important for Facebook and Instagram that they are holding an event where it will be the only focus.
This is the first time the 100-million user network, Instagram, will stray from being a strictly photo-sharing app, says Mike Isaac of AllThingsD.
Sources tell Isaac that Facebook is trying to separate itself from Twitter's Vine, a popular video app, that has gained 13 million users in six months. And Facebook is beefing up its staff to compete.
The Wall Street Journal points to Facebook's career page where there are seven open positions for the Instagram team. These positions include, "manager of public policy, front-end software engineer, and product designer. The group is also looking for software engineers dedicated to mobile."
But Vine isn't yet phased. Yesterday, the company teased new features ahead of Instagram's big reveal.
Facebook is betting big on Instagram's new video feature. The social network has tried before to copy features from other popular apps like Snapchat, but hasn't been successful. Stay tuned tomorrow will prove to be a big day for Facebook and Instagram.

There are reasons that diets don't work. Healthy foods, unhealthy foods. How can you tell?
Are You Trying To Lose Weight?
I mean really trying. Are you seeing zero or almost no results?
I hear it often when it comes to weight control. Let me tell you a true story. It is a big reason I'm writing this.
I had a conversation this week with a 71 year old friend. Great guy. He's worked hard all his life. He has had health issues from time to time, but he gets around okay.
He hasn't been fit in a very long time. He isn't obese, but he carries a lot of extra weight.
He told me he went on a diet. He said it lasted two weeks.
He wasn't seeing much improvement and he felt he was starving. He told me he went on a high protein, low carbs. It sounded a lot like Atkins.
My friend is a meat and potatoes sort of guy so I figured if he cut out the breads and pastas, and focused on steaks and chicken, he would be fine. He wasn't. He quit.
I suggested eating what he likes, just cut back on the portions. I suggested maybe five small meals a day rather that two or three heavy meals.
Then I asked him if he is still drinking.
"You know me," he said. "I still have my beer. No more than five or six a night."
So there's the rub. My friend is a great guy. I have enjoyed his company for decades. He wants to lose weight, and he knows he should. He had a heart attack eight or ten years ago. Except for the first few months, it didn't slow him down
It frightens me actually. I know he can't continue to live like he does. It's not healthy and we're not kids any more. For my friend, I think he would rather live as he does and not worry about longevity.
I don't like the idea of losing an old friend. I suppose it's selfish on my part, but I think it would be nice to share these golden years a little longer.
Here are some ideas that you might want to keep in mind if your diet, or weight loss plan isn't doing what you would like.
As you read through these ten points, try to remember the last time you got the whole story on what's good and what's not. Examining healthy foods and unhealthy foods now requires a scorecard.
I Hope This Will Help.
- Booze. It's full of sugar. There are other health risks associated with high alcohol consumption but we already know that. As the old saying goes, All thing in moderation.
- Fruit juices. If you're drinking a lot of them, check the label. Most are nearly all sugar. You think you're being healthy, but you've been tricked.
- Green salads. Are you eating a lot of green salads. It's great to think it's healthy. Usually, it is not. Sure, the veggies are great. Don't stop eating them. It's the salad dressing that's getting you. Again, Check the label.
- Margarine. Are you using it rather than butter? Guess what, that too is a myth. Margarine may be the worst thing you have in your diet. It is loaded with trans fats. It's killing you…slowly. Go back to butter. Saturated fats are not the villain here. I wrote about it in our Coconut oil piece.
- Whole wheat bread. I ate it for years. I thought it was the healthy thing to do. When I switched, it took days to get used to it. But I did. Now I learn it's not healthy at all. The grains are ground to a fine flour. The results are no different than other breads. The real story is that wheat has been so altered during the growing process that is not good for us, period. Then there is the gluten issue. We wrote on that too. Read it Here.
- Sports drinks. Are you drinking Gatorade? I'm writing to seniors here. If you are not working out, like an athlete, the sugar and salt in these drinks is not healthy. Without the hard workout associated with athletics, sports drinks can be harmful. Some day I'll tell you about the oil field.
- Low carb junk foods. I read very recently of the adverse effects of energy bars that are called low carb foods. The report actually called out Atkins Bars. The report said that the food is not really food. It is a bunch of processed chemicals. While an occasional bar may be fine, they're actually unhealthy.
- Agave Nectar. I just read about this. I actually didn't know about it but thought I would share what I read. Many are using it as a sugar substitute. The report had this to say, "Whereas sugar is about 50% fructose and High Fructose Corn Syrup about 55%, Agave contains even more… up to 70-90%."
- Vegans. As long as we're debunking things, here's one for vegans. It is generally accepted that vegans choose the diet for other than health issues. It's cultural or conscience that drives the choice. If you are vegan, realize that vegan snacks or alternative foods are processed. They are all chemicals like the Atkins bar referenced in number seven above. They are not healthy.
- Vegetable oil. One more thing you thought was good for you. Here is the latest in science. While vegetable oils may reduce cholesterol, they are now shown to increase risks of heart attack and other heart diseases. Just as saturated fats are not the risk once believed.

It's a computer training room, so there's plenty of ready Linux installs on a Ghost server. Flash works on any one of these machines with Fedora, openSUSE and Arch. So it's not the hardware. Fresh install of CentOS with RPMForge configured and flash-plugin installed : Flash fails everywhere. Same result with flash-plugin from the Adobe repo. Still more clueless than before :o)

ThesisHelpers - a company delivering excellent papers.
So you have realized that writing your thesis is just not going to happen. It is such a big paper and you really don't have the time or the patience to get it done. You worked so hard developing your thesis outline and researched for countless hours to develop your thesis proposal. Now you just want to escape having to actually follow through. I mean you did the hard part which is gathering the information and developing the topic that you want to discuss. All you are really asking now is that someone takes all of your hard work and turn it into a paper.
Since the average thesis runs around forty pages in length, you know that it will just take you too long to complete and between work and your classes, this is just not time that you have. There is nothing to worry about. You can get the help you need to write your thesis. The only thing that you have to do is locate a service that is going to do a professional job. You wouldn't want to entrust your paper to someone and they mess it all up.
This is a question that a lot of students wonder about. They know that they can get someone to write their paper but they are wondering who it is. Many times a student will make the mistake of buying a prewritten thesis. This is a bad idea because there is a chance that another one of the students at your school turned in the exact same paper. That means that you get caught cheating and kicked out of school. Let's not take that chance. There is a way to avoid this by finding someone to write a custom paper just for you.
There are professional writers that earn a living writing papers for others. They can write everything from blogs and articles to essays and thesis papers. There are professional writing service companies that will offer you the assistance you need. You may also find help from freelance writers who don't work for a company but work for themselves.
These professional writers will be able to write your paper and ensure that it is professional. These writers have developed the skills to effectively write successful papers and will be able to turn your topic, your idea, or your notes into a thesis you can be proud of.

In their analysis that goes back to 1958, the researchers show that levels of Vibrio bacteria – which can cause illness in humans and even death – have been increasing as sea surface temperatures rise.
Further ocean warming as a result of climate change could exacerbate this spread of marine bacteria, the researchers say, potentially bringing more human infections in the future.
Marine bacteria
There are around 110 different types of Vibrio bacteria floating around in our oceans. They are typically found in warm, slightly salty coastal waters and river estuaries.
Some of these bacteria cause sickness in people and animals. Humans pick them up by consuming water or seafood that carries the bacteria, or through cuts in the skin when swimming.
The most well-known Vibrio is cholera, a diarrhoeal disease that can cause severe dehydration and death if not treated.
This study considers other strains of Vibrio bacteria, such as Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which cause similar, though usually less severe, symptoms. These types of illness are known collectively as "vibrosis", which can lead to complications, such as blood poisoning.
The evidence is strong that ongoing climate change is influencing outbreaks of Vibrio infections on a worldwide scale.
Dr Luigi Vezzulli, lead author and associate professor in microbiology, University of Genoa
Previous research has linked outbreaks of Vibrio infections around the world to warm sea surface temperatures. Warmer conditions mean a longer summer window for Vibrio bacteria to grow and a greater chance of their survival. This conclusion has been reached in studies of Chile, Peru, Israel and the Baltic states.
The new study, just published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, says that a warming Atlantic Ocean is the main reason for an "unprecedented" number of Vibrio cases in North Atlantic countries in recent years. This includes a spate of cases contracted by swimmers during the European summer heatwave in 2006.
Plankton sampling
One of the main limitations for scientists trying to work out how ocean warming is affecting Vibrio bacteria is the availability of data.
Bacteria are typically measured by microbiologists by collecting and analysing water samples, says lead author Dr Luigi Vezzulli, an associate professor in microbiology at the University of Genoa. However, as he explains to Carbon Brief, this isn't without difficulty: "This approach is costly and time consuming and historical Vibrio data are generally lacking."
Vezzulli and his colleagues found a way round this problem by instead analysing samples of tiny marine creatures called zooplankton, on which Vibrio bacteria tend to hitch a ride.
Scientists have been collecting samples of plankton in the North Atlantic since 1958 via the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) survey. The CPR actually gets its name from the instrument that, when towed behind ships, collects plankton over huge areas of ocean.
Using the samples from nine locations, the researchers analysed the DNA of the preserved plankton to create a record of how Vibrio bacteria numbers have changed over the past six decades.

After months of only being in Madrid I couldn't wait to spend a week in London! There is one thing that surprises me everytime: How easy it is for me to be happy in a simple supermarket where I can find everything I need for baking. It's just so easy there!
London is becoming a very special place for me, he knows why. This trip involved a great restaurant called Asia de Cuba with a fabulous chef called Paul Whittick. My mother is cuban and really feels like one even though she only lived there until she was two with my grandparents. The cuban spirit in my family is very strong. It looks like I have not inherited the dancing skills or the tanner skin...
There is one thing I love more than they do though (maybe not more, but yes a lot) and its cuban food. I wish I could learn to cook cuban food! I have to start!
My boyfriend knows how I feel about this so he decided this was the perfect place for dinner. It was a perfect night out.
So Asia de Cuba is near Picadilly, and just when you walk in you think "this place is different" round columns with round bookshelves or with flower pots or black and white pictures.
You have an amazing list of cocktails to start... we asked for:
Chili Passion Caipirinha: Cachaça, muddled lime
raw sugar, passion fruit purée,
dash sriracha.
Canteloupe Pisco Sour: Pisco, fresh lemon, muddled
canteloupe, cane sugar egg white
Amazing, I loved mine because of the spicy touch. To eat you have a lot of options, its more of an asian influenced menu, but still has many cuban inspired dishes. To start you have Ceviches & Tiraditos with options like Scotish Salmon and salted Avocado Helado or Scallop Tataki and Dragon fruit.
Smoked Salmon on Crispy spring
onion pancake
(very simple... we thought it was a
mistake to ask for this one..)
Other starters are Tunapica, Ropavieja of Duck, Asian noodle Box...
Honey-Rum glazed Pork Belly: platain
maduros, Shangai bok choy and
enoki mushrooms
(I have never tried something so soft
sweet, delicious...)
Now to the amazing main dishes, where you can find Miso Cured black Cod, Spiny Lobster Wok Chi or Cuban BBQ Chicken.
Pan Seared Ahí Tuna: wasabi mashed potatoes
and crunchy peas with cilantro ahí
(I personally fell in love with the idea
of wasabi mashed potatoes. It's
The side dishes are the ones that have more cuban influence, or so I wanted to believe, because I only asked for the cuban ones... Lobster Boniato Mash, Platain Fried Rice with Avocado Salad or Thai Coconut Sticky Rice.
Black Bean Croquetas
(this is what they call Frijoles, try making
them and teach me please!)
Yuca Mojo Fries
(amazing but can make you full with
a few bites)
It's time for dessert and though I feel I should never eat anything else, you can not go off without checking the dessert menu. Now that is the issue, when you see it, you need to ask for something. Every dessert has the someliers recommendation of drinks that match perfectly with the dessert.
You can find the famous Bay of Pigs (no wonder they calle it that), Cuban Opera or more typicall Caribbean Carrot Cake.
Cuban Coffee Brownie: Chocolate fudge
sauce, Khalua glaze and Fudge
Brownie icecream
(it's just the perfect brownie!)
It was in all, a fantastic evening. Though it's a bit expensive, sometimes you find it worth the sacrifice... I believe sacrificing for food is something I never regret! (OK maybe I do, but just a few hours/days until I'm back in good shape)
Hope you visit and ask for delicious things. Enjoy!
Here is a link if you ever want to make a reservation...

C. S. Lewis once said, "Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another - What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .'' Our friends are often as crazy as us, at times even more. But without them, life would be so very dull. Our lives have gotten busy, and rarely, we find time to spend an entire day with friends, chatting, gossiping, and drinking, without having to worry about the targets or the meetings next day. Why not do this on this friendship day? I know, you will argue that do we need a special day to celebrate friendship? No, you don't.

Meghan McCain Criticizes Occupy Wall Street: 'No Clear Message Or Sense of Direction'
The political offspring, who visited protestors in NYC's Zuccotti Park, called the movement "the anti-Tea Party party," and said the "air smelled distinctively like marijuana."
Meghan McCain has thrown her hat into the Occupy fray.
The some-time political commentator, who's been speaking her mind publicly ever since her father, John McCain's 2008 presidential bid, stopped by New York's Zuccotti Park to survey the Occupy scene and then wrote a blog for The Daily Beast about it.
PHOTOS: The Scene at Occupy Wall Street
"Depending on your perspective, Occupy Wall Street is either indicative of the future—how a group of people can practice activism through social media—or a leaderless (and therefore hopeless) endeavor," she writes, also dubbing the movement the "anti-Tea Party party."
PHOTOS: The Scene at Occupy Los Angeles
But, what exactly is McCain's perspective?
VIDEO: Occupy Wall Street: Alec Baldwin Visits the Protesters
It's not the expected stance for a right-leaning daughter of one of America's most prominent Republicans. While she suggests the protestors unite around a new, more focused cause (and ditch drugs and costumes), McCain also says she understands what people are frustrated about.
STORY: Occupy Wall Street Protests Pose Unique Risk for Stars Who Get Involved
"The anger from Occupy Wall Street is coming from this simple fact: America no longer seems to be a place where you can work your way up, from rags to riches, from lower class to middle class to upper class. If people aren't given a fair shot, how can they work to achieve their dreams?"

KAC CVAR [suggestion]
Sorry if there is any other double posts, I would prefer commands like, instead of banning i want the to get instant kicked but not banned. also there should be a .cfg in the configuration folders to adjust the settings in default also add cvars for block, custom cvars like dunno rerty,perfui and so on. Yet doesn't kac block client sided plugins automaticly so not only lua scripts also eventscripts can be disabled because the command es_forcevalue can be used to force the value. Thanks.

|[Caml-list] Unix-Filekind => codexample with questions
Hello, I need a function, which tells me if a file is a regular file or not. Please look at my code-example: let is_regularfile name = let filekind name = let tmp = Unix.stat name in tmp.Unix.st_kind in let fk = try (filekind name ) with | Unix.Unix_error (Unix.ENOENT,_,_) -> Unix.S_DIR | _ -> Unix.S_DIR in match fk with | Unix.S_REG -> true | _ -> false;; This example works: It tells me, if a file is of kind/type regular file with true. If it is not a regular file or an error occured, it tells me this by passing me the result false. I thought about printing an error-message when an error occurs. I can do this by inserting a printing-command into the try-construct, if I return a Unix.st_kind-value (so that Ocaml get's right types back). I tried this, and it works - so I know how to handle the Unix.ENOENT (and that makes my lucky :)). But I nevertheless have more questions. IMHO it looks a littlebid dirty, to return Unix.S_DIR on an error-case, even if it is only internal to the function is_regularfile. Yes, I know, here is it an advantage of FPLs to give back only the result and have the inner dirty tricks encapsulated by the scoping here (at least that it is possible to programn in this way, even if not mandatory). But If I would split up the function into three functions (one returning the filetype, one doing the error-/exception-handling (giving back non-Unix.S_REG e.g by using Unix.S_DIR) and one function, using these two functions, returning a boolean value) the advantage of an FPL is gone, because using unclean programming (which then nevertheless is possible). (Or is the problem here, that pattern-matching and exception-handling is not purely functional?) Is there a type like "None of the defined Unix.st_kind-results", such as NULL in C is definitely a non-valid address? Does advantage of FPLs in respect to clean programming belongs in "encapsulation by scoping" with nested let-statements, which are hiding usage of unclean values (like above)? Or is it completely ok to write such functions like above? (Philosophically question...?!) BTW: What about the indentation-style of my function? How would you rewrite that function, when using Ocaml-like indentation?

Media Studies Alum's Film Excerpted on PBS NewsHour
On Thursday, August 4, PBS's NewsHour will screen an excerpt of Made in India, a film by media studies alum Vaishali Sinha documenting the journey of an infertile American couple, an Indian surrogate, and the reproductive outsourcing business that brought them together.
Sinha and Rebecca Haimowitz, who co-directed the film, told PBS they pursued the story because of a passion for the material. We come from a background of social justice work, with particular interest in reproductive rights, sexuality and human rights,, they said. Made in India highlights the human stories behind a complex process while raising immediate concerns over women's health and rights.,
Sinha's previous work includes the short documentary Red Roses. She is currently co-directing the film Kashmir, which tells the story of the disputed territory through the lives of college students living there.

"Liberal" has become a dirty word in
Sunday morning, Jim Adkisson walked into the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church with a shotgun hidden inside a guitar case. He'd been planning his attack for at least a week, and chose a special children's service for the assault. Before he was tackled, Adkisson managed to kill at least two parishioners and seriously wound seven others.
Adkisson targeted the church, according to Knoxville's WBIR-TV, "because of its liberal teachings and his belief that all liberals should be killed because they were ruining the country, and that he felt that the Democrats had tied his country's hands in the war on terror and they had ruined every institution in America with the aid of media outlets."
The shooter told reporters that "he could not get to the leaders of the liberal movement that he would then target those that had voted them in to office."
Inside Adkisson's house, officers found Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder by radio talk show host Michael Savage, Let Freedom Ring by talk show host Sean Hannity, and The O'Reilly Factor, by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly. So it wasn't just another random act of violence that took place Sunday. It was the culmination of years of mean-spirited fulminating from the fanatic right.
These right-wing pundits have made a travesty of
If a white supremacist bombed a black church, one hopes that people of goodwill would speak out against such bigotry. If a neo-Nazi targeted a synagogue, Catholics, Protestants and Muslims alike would ideally be quick to condemn that kind of violence. I wonder, will the presidential candidates, or other political and faith leaders, speak out against Sunday's mayhem?
Liberals should not be intimidated or silenced by Sunday's attack, but defend the progressive legacy they bequeathed to this country. The Declaration's dictum that "all people are created equal" and endowed with inalienable rights to life and liberty was a radical precept. The defense of human rights inevitable led to the struggle for civil rights and women's rights, children's rights and the rights of labor, gay rights and the rights of indigenous people--even animal rights. The world is a better place thanks to these "liberal" innovations which lie at the heart of the American Dream.
We can't let that Dream remain in the cross-hairs.

Bitter Lemon Lady
I find that I am often inspired by other bloggers. It's fun to leave a little creativity behind in the comments section. I'll call this, "Creative Comments." This is in response to a memoir written by Annie Freewriter about a job from her past delivering newspapers on a site called Out of the Fishbowl ~ Into the Ocean. …
From A Picture Of Poetry. Sometimes as life is being lived, you see art where you least expect it. I like the way the yellow lemons contrasted with the green countertop, so I snapped a photo. I thought about what this picture said to me. This is the poem that followed: Sour

Want to know a secret?
Sometimes I'm a sewing chicken.
* Hangs head in shame *
I started this skirt back in January. Of LAST YEAR. Yes, January. I finished most of it last January too, actually, minus one teensy tiny little thing.
But then I set it aside.
And then I got busy with sewing other projects. And then I had to clean the office. And then all of a sudden I just kept making all of these sewing excuses and "got so busy" and… errr, well… just sort of avoided sewing all of those buttonholes down the front of the skirt.
Yep, I got intimidated.
Why, you might ask? Because I'd never sewn a buttonhole before. Yep, I'm a little embarrassed to actually admit this, but… I managed to make it through several years of sewing garments without ever sewing a buttonhole. But I finally did it! And I'm so proud!
(Yay! Buttonholes. And Buttons too! Aren't they purdy?)
I finally finished this skirt back in July, right before The Big Move, which is also when these pictures were taken. That's why you're seeing a bright green corduroy Kelly Skirt and nude sandals combo at the end of January, right smack during the middle of an east coast snowstorm.
Seriously, it's like negative nine degrees outside right now. SO cold. So SO cold.
Want to know something else that I really like about this skirt?
Shhhhh… it's a secret…
Here's a quick picture of the hem too. It's not quite as exciting as those fancy pants pockets, but I'm really digging the longer hemmed construction on this skirt.
Once my button-phobia was behind me, I also stitched up a sleeveless (hack) version of the Briar Tee that you see paired with the skirt. It's made from some white organic cotton knit from Emma One Sock and a small yardage of Liberty of London fabric.
The tee was inspired by an Anthropologie top with a similar knit/woven fabric style, but I really liked being able to choose my own fabric for the one that I made!
I used Tilly's How to Hand-Paint a Breton Top tutorial as a starting guide to hand paint the yellow stripes onto the white jersey.
I used a little bit of watered down sunny yellow fabric paint, let it dry for a day, and then ironed it on to set. I've washed this top several times so far and… so far, so good! The painted stripes have held up beautifully and are still just as bright and cheery!
I've sewn up several different versions of the Briar top before (here and here), but this was my first time creating a Briar "hack" version and sewing one in Organic cotton. Oddly enough, this version turned out a little bit bigger size-wise than my other versions and is a little baggy so I've thought about taking it in a bit, but I'm trying to make it work by pairing it with tighter fitting garments. What do you think?
Such pockets. So wow.
Overall, I definitely recommend both of these patterns and I am really proud that I finally got over my silly button-hole sewing fear and stitched up this skirt!
Have you ever been a sewing chicken? What is the thing that you are/were the most intimidated to sew?

Visit Orlando takes home three Flagler Awards

Visit Orlando's advertising, marketing and public relations activities are recognized annually for creatively and effectively promoting Orlando as a premier travel destination.
Nation's Largest Electric Vehicle Rental Initiative Launches in Orlando
An unprecedented partnership of Orlando's leading rental agency, top hotels and major attractions today officially launched Drive Electric Orlando (DEO). The effort is a first-of-its-kind electric car rental initiative that gives Orlando visitors another exciting experience to add to their itinerary in the Sunshine State - driving an electric car.
"Orlando's visitors now have an opportunity to try out an exciting technology while saving time, saving money and making a difference," said Robbie Diamond, president and CEO of the Electrification Coalition, which is leading the Drive Electric Orlando effort. "We see this program as Orlando's newest and smartest ride, a program that lets visitors see all that Orlando has to offer while leaving the gas pump behind."
With an extensive network of partners and more than 300 electric charging stations throughout America's tourism capital, Drive Electric Orlando offers a seamless experience from the rental counter, to the theme park, to the hotel and everywhere in between.
"Embracing an initiative like Drive Electric Orlando is an example of our commitment to constantly evolve as a destination and remain relevant to all of the travelers - both leisure and business alike - who make us the most visited destination in the country," says Visit Orlando President and CEO George Aguel.
Drive Electric Orlando will offer unique benefits to family vacationers and business travelers alike. For families, it's an opportunity to enjoy fun, quiet and convenient transportation between all of Orlando's parks, attractions and restaurants without having to stop at the gas station. For business travelers and those attending Orlando conventions, it's an opportunity to try something environmentally forward-thinking, cost-effective, and efficient.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car, the Drive Electric Orlando car rental partner, is renting Nissan LEAF plug-in electric vehicles at its Orlando International Airport location. "Our supporting role in the Drive Electric Orlando project promotes the adoption of electric vehicles in one of the world's top tourist destinations," said Lee Broughton, head of sustainability, Enterprise Rent-A-Car. "We know that the car rental experience is often an extended test drive. Our partnership with Drive Electric Orlando familiarizes travelers with new vehicle technology that they may not otherwise be able to experience."

I am a straight, white male living in a world of heterophobic homofascism. Every day I am subjected to the Gaystapo propaganda of "We need more diversity and more tolerance," which sounds great until you realize that this applies to everyone, except alpha males. As an alpha male, if I talk about women, I am sexist. If I talk about gay men, I am homophobic. And if I don't pander to the illogical delusions of the masses, I'm a bad person. All of this amounts to nothing short of emotional extortion: if I don't blindly agree with them I am a bad person.

The Truth: Testosterone, Muscle, and Women
When it comes to the topics of building muscle and getting laid, I wish someone who knew what they were talking about could have just been honest with me. Unfortunately, most of the world's pickup artist instructors and personal trainers don't know the truth about testosterone, and the ones who do are lying to you. You're about to learn the truth.
Two Times at the Same Place
You've heard it said that you can't be in two places at the same time. What I want you to realize is that you can be in two times at the same place. While this may sound like nothing more than LSD-inspired wordplay, there is an important lesson to be learned from this strange perspective.
Killing Babies to Save the World
The solution to the world's biggest problems is killing babies. There are currently over 7.3 billion people on this planet and that number grows by the second. As that number grows, we continue to spread across the planet like a virus, depleting natural resources and killing the ecosystem we depend on for our very survival. While I'm not a hippie, and don't own Birkenstocks sandals or any clothing made from hemp, I'm intelligent enough to see that the human race has embarked on a suicide mission with the exuberance of a World War II kamikaze pilot high on methamphetamine.
Owning It
It wasn't until recently that I understood what "owning it" truly means. First, before you can "own it," you need to know what "it" is. This is a process of shameless self-discovery. Only then, once you know who you are, can you own it. This is a place where stress disintegrates and willpower seems to flow from a never-ending supply.
Welcome to the Next Level
If you find yourself standing on the accomplishments of your goals only to discover that the view is not as fantastic as you imaged, I welcome you to the next level.
The Hedonist's Guide to Women
The hedonist is motivated by a desire for pleasures. His simple ethical theory is that pleasure is the highest form of good. He is free from the chains of both religion and the deeply flawed human construct called morality. This is his guide to women.
Consumer or Creator
Who are you? It's a simple enough question, but my experience has been that most people can't answer it. The sad reality is that most will walk around declaring to everyone else, "I'll be whatever you want me to be so I can feel like I'm worth something." Why then is it that with so many people willing to do anything to be loved, so few feel loved? Because only someone who is "nothing" would be willing to be "anything."
Are All Men Pedophiles?
Are all men pedophiles? The answer to this question is more important than you may realize, as millions of ignorant women have embarked on a campaign to make millions of normal, mentally healthy men feel guilty… and their campaign is working.
Accomplishment and Doubt
The greatest feeling of accomplishment you will ever feel will be rooted in doubt. The man who is sure of himself in accomplishing the mundane feels nothing. It is the man who dares to pick up his sword as he charges into the unknown adventure who feels the adrenaline that reminds him he is alive.

2015 was an unforgettable year for me; I had my first book Love, Tanya published and it sold 100,000 copies, spent a week in one of my favourite places in the world – Sydney, moved house, got a puppy, relaunched my makeup line Tanya Burr Cosmetics with a gorgeous new look and lots of new products, got married to the love of my life, went to LA for big scary meetings with casting directors, spoke at the United Nations about The Global Goals and was Glamour Magazine's December cover girl. I wonder if this year will be as exciting?! I am so ready for 2016 and whatever it has to bring. I know I got really soppy in my Merry Christmas blog post, so I won't say it all over again, but I just have to say such a huge thank you to you guys for all your support – none of this would happen if it weren't for you and I appreciate you all so much.
I rang in the new year with Jim and friends in Walberswick. It's a little village by the sea and one of my happy places. We spent New Year's Eve on the beach eating fish and chips and then at a friend's party drinking champagne and slightly questionable cocktails my friend Jake was giving everyone called 'Dirty Shirley's'. Jim and I were so tired we made our way back to the tiny little Hobbit House (a tiny one bed cottage we rented) at 12:30am and crashed. Jim got up and went on an 8km beach run, whilst I opted for coffee and bacon sandwiches at the deli (healthy eating starts on Jan 2nd right?!)
I thought I would share with you guys my New Year's Resolutions – please let me know yours in the comments!
Keep a book log. I always used to do this when I was younger and it's a good thing to look back on and remember what you read and how much you enjoyed it.
Take a photography class. I love taking photos and would love to be better at it.
Blog more. I'm really enjoying blogging at the moment and want to blog as much as I can this year.
Work out at least 4 times a week. I started working out 4-5 times a week just before the wedding in September (just for 6 weeks – left it right until the last minute!) and not only did my body change for the better, I also felt amazing and had so much more energy (I never used to believe gym bunnies when they said that, but it's true!) Our bodies are designed to move a lot more than lots of us allow them to and I really noticed how quickly I went back to feeling mushy and tired a lot in Oct/Nov/Dec as I started slacking in the gym post-wedding. I have been back in the gym a lot this past week and feel motivated and ready for 2016!
Eat when I'm hungry and not when I'm not. I am SO bad for this. I don't want to start some crazy New Year's diet that won't last. I'm all about making healthy lifestyle changes and I think this is a really good one. Who else eats that last piece of pizza just because it's there? Or orders pudding in a restaurant just because it sounds delicious not because you're actually hungry still?
Think positively and keep an open mind. I'm a pretty positive person anyway, but I think sometimes I let things get me down if they don't go exactly the way I want them to, so I want to be better at shrugging things off and not worrying.
Stress less. I guess this sort of links to number six. When I get busy with work I can get quite stressy and I think life is just too short. It's important to get some perspective sometimes.
Take deep breaths. Linking to number six and number seven.
Travel somewhere new. I love seeing the world and places that are on my to see list are New Zealand, South Africa (that one I'll be ticking off in January), St Tropez, Rome, Fiji and Parrot Cay Island.
Work really hard on projects with The Global Goals team. I can't wait to meet with them all next week as we are discussing what I can do to get more involved and really help make the goals a reality by 2030. (I've made a video about The Global Goals if you want to know more).
I'm sure I could think of loads more resolutions, but the new Sherlock is about to start on BBC One and I've been waiting years for this so I have to quickly go and make a cup of tea and then get cosy on the sofa to watch it. Don't forget to leave your resolutions in the comments guys!
Love, Tanya

The tinfoil hat crowd won't buy it, but Goldman Sachs (GS) still insists that its AIG (AIG) exposure was fully hedged and that if the large insurer had failed it would have cost the bank $0, as in nada.
Heidi N. Moore at WSJ Deal Journal did a liveblog of the just-concluded call.
Here's why Goldman favoured the AIG bailout, despite its claimed lack of exposure:
11:21: "It was always clear to us that had AIG failed, it would have been quite disruptive to the world's financial markets. We would have had to spend money, other people would have had to replace transactions as well. Generally for us, volatility is good for our trading business, however it would not have been good for the financial markets as a whole, so it would not have been good for our business…We would not have been affected directly by our exposure to them, but the world's financial system would have been affected…there would have been no losses vis a vis our credit exposure to AIG."
The bank also says that it knew to reduce its exposure after collateral disputes:
11:24: What were the collateral disputes? "We believe that the value of these positions was larger than they believed. We could only see their side of the trade with us, so we didn't see all the other trades with counterparties."
Also significantly, Goldman claims it had no special meeting with then Treasury Secretary Paulson on the issue.
So there you go. That's their story and they're sticking to it. Anyone convinced?

Tips From NYSL Promotions: Team Success
The most successful teams share a few common attributes, and we do our best to make sure NYSL Promotions associates understand and appreciate these traits. We would like to outline these qualities and encourage you to sharpen them in your organization.
An emphasis on setting and achieving lofty goals must be front and center in your team atmosphere. We at NYSL Promotions suggest that you direct your people's efforts on one project at a time to avoid confusion and overlapping priorities. This will lead to steady progress and significant success in the long run, so make sure your team's focus isn't spread too thin.
Honest feedback is another hallmark of high-achieving teams, and your people need it on a regular basis to reach ambitious goals. You can help set the tone by asking your team members for their input during individual check-ins. Your people need to know that their thoughts and opinions carry weight, so hear them out as often as possible.
The best professional teams are also populated by dedicated learners, so you need to be sure that constant improvement is a point of emphasis in your culture. Provide your associates with lots of developmental opportunities and learning resources, and make it clear that ongoing improvement is expected.
These attributes help the most successful teams stay on top, and our NYSL Promotions leaders hope you will refine them within your own company.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Stadium Management Company (SMC)announced Monday that the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings will cease operations following the conclusion of the 2012-13 North American Hockey League (NAHL) season.
Tough economic conditions in this small marketplace, already home to both Western Michigan University Hockey and the Kalamazoo Wings made business success impossible to achieve.
SMC will continue to operate Wings West in a world-class manner and continue to enhance and improve this outstanding facility for user groups and patrons. Wings West will continue to host thousands of hours of ice time from the Kalamazoo Optimist Hockey Association (KOHA), who will be celebrating its 50th season in 2014-15, West Michigan Hounds, high school hockey, adult league hockey, speed skating and Greater Kalamazoo Skating Association.
"SMC will continue to deliver exceptional experiences for all of our user groups and patrons and we will strive to make both facilities the unmatched choice for entertainment on and off the ice in southwest Michigan," said SMC General Manager Jim Burlew.
Reestablished prior to the start of the 2011-12 season, the Jr. K-Wings are in their second season as a member of the NAHL. Prior to today's announcement, SMC notified the NAHL of its decision to cease operations after this season and to sell the junior franchise to another ownership group looking for membership in the league.
The Jr. K-Wings will continue to operate as normal through the conclusion of the season.
"Everyone at SMC is extremely proud of the accomplishments of Marc Fakler, as well as his staff and players over the past two seasons and we're looking for a strong finish as the Jr-Wings head into the playoffs," said Burlew. "We also extend our sincere gratitude to the housing families and to our volunteers that welcomed our players to the community and helped in our game-day operations."
Fakler has been exceptional during his two years in charge of the Jr. K-Wings. Finishing second in the North Division, one point behind the Port Huron Fighting Falcons, last season; the Jr-Wings are once again in the hunt for the North Division title. Kalamazoo is currently tied with the Jamestown IronMen for second place in the division.
Not going unnoticed by the NAHL, Fakler's accomplishments have been rewarded, as he has been named an assistant coach for the North Team in the NAHL Prospects game for the past two seasons.
Developing players on and off the ice, Fakler has helped his players get noticed by colleges, as 13 players, including five from this year's team, have made commitments to continue their playing careers in college.
Today's announcement to cease operation of the Jr. K-Wings will not affect the Kalamazoo Wings, who will be celebrating their 40th Anniversary next season.

Here's the latest list of stuff I found interesting on the interwebz, May 1 through May 14:
- Spring for Music Festival at Carnegie Hall
Two things from this NY Times review of Storm Large's recent appearance at Carnegie Hall stand out to me.
1. I had no idea "popsier" was a word.
Portland, people. PORTLAND.
(I can only hope she did the fist-pumping to the orchestra after it was over, like she did in Detroit before walking offstage.)
The orchestra shone throughout, but with "The Seven Deadly Sins," Detroit inherited that show stealer Ms. Large, who is best known for her popsier work with Pink Martini and other bands. She was sensational in a Brecht-Weill experiment of dipping country innocence serially into urban decadence and seeing what comes out. What came out here was personality plus (the tattoo across Ms. Large's back, for those who couldn't make it out, read, "Lover"), and her voice came through the subtle miking fetchingly.
- The Disapproval Matrix
I love so many things about this chart, but perhaps my favorite bit is that "yourself" falls under the "Frenemies" quadrant – a critic that knows you, yes, but is also highly irrational.
- Being a woman in Italy… in the Renaissance
This month's Italy Roundtable topic is WOMEN, and who better to get us started than Alexandra with some historical perspective?
- This Woman's World
Kate offers some lovely personal vignettes about life as a woman in Sicily – which I've always thought of as Italy intensified.
- Italy Roundtable: In Memoriam
Rebecca's contribution is a beautiful remembrance of a friend who died too young, and in so doing provided the inspiration to live life fearlessly.
- (Wonder)women of Tuscany
Our lone native Italian, Gloria, has a different perspective from the rest of us – which is one of the many reasons we love her.
- Links to all of Italy's Regional Tourism sites
Thanks to my friend Alex for compiling this list of websites of the regional tourism offices in Italy!
- The (Slightly More) Professional Guide to Working from Home
This is cleverly written, but it's actually really good advice. And I'm not just saying that because I find I do most of these things already.
(via Melanie Wynne)
- What happens to our brains when we have stage fright
This is mainly about public speaking, and getting over that fear by looking at the science behind it, but it seems applicable to singing, too. Pretty fascinating, actually.
- How Three Kidnapped Women Escaped in Cleveland
This story is astonishing. And this piece brought me to tears.
