Changing and Growing as a Team
EDIT: Just as a clarification – our guild changes were really a group effort. In the comments I'm being given waaaay too much credit. In reality, I had very little to do with it all. I was a strong critic of the old ways and I suggested a few concrete ideas that might help us improve as a raid team, but the credit for implementing change should go to our raid leader. He's the gifted one who listens to everyone's input then makes good decisions that he stands by. And our team as a whole deserves credit for their active participation in all aspects of the process.
I left "my old guild" at a time where my raid schedule was very limited and I couldn't really dedicate myself to a team. I was welcomed into a group of (casually raiding) friends who seemed cool with having me around and understood that I would move on once I could live in more raid-friendly timezone.
So that early January, I went from a 9/12 guild to a 0/12 guild.
Oh the culture shock!
There was no point in writing on the forums: no one visited them. There was no healer chat to goof around in. When we'd reach a new boss fight, only the raid leader knew anything about it. Pulls were slow and difficult to recover from. Random AFKs were normal. Raid start time meant "we'll think about whether or not we want to raid and if you're lucky, we'll send invites out within the hour". If the raid wasn't cancelled that is.
The people were fun and I liked most of my guildies. It was a blissful break from the childishness and the vulgarity that my former guild chat had degenerated into. But the raids… The raids were painful. Skill or attitude weren't an issue. These people were quite possibly the most patient individuals I'd ever come across on the internet. And as I would tell those who asked about my guild situation: "They play pretty well… on the rare occasion that they play."
I don't care about boss kills much. Me, I get pleasure from strategy discussions, from pushing myself to squeeze every ounce of juice out of my character and from working as a team. When I say I hate casual raiding, it's not about the boss kills and it's not about the rankings. It's about being deprived of the game aspects that make me tick.
As I was getting ready to leave…something happened
I'm not sure exactly what triggered the idea to change. I knew at the time, but I can't remember. I do remember those long chats with my raid leader about how we both needed a more focused environment. I also remember hoping that I could stay on Nerzhul.
Then one day my raid leader mentioned that a few other guildies were interested in upping our pace a bit.
Then a lot of things I don't remember happened, which eventually let to a thread (started by our raid leader) called "In order to make a more efficient raid group".
I wanted a project. I also really liked working with Team Sport's raid leader. (Remember this post?) And I didn't want to leave the server.
So I got on board.
Would they go for it? Could I hope?
I know what it's like to drag a heavy bolder up a hill. It's just like trying to get satisfied players to change their playstyle.
My biggest worry was our raid team enjoyed our current status. Of course, they always want more boss kills. But, to them, would those boss kills be worth the trouble? I like being extremely time-efficient, but would they?
We decided to actually play
I didn't interpret them properly at the time, but the majority of the responses in our raid efficiency thread expressed annoyances with our late start times, our frequent signs-up-but-doesn't-shows and our constant stalling due to random AFKs. I was delighted to discover that I wasn't alone in feeling the way I did.
I pushed for communication
Maybe it's a gender thing. Girls tend to like to communicate. I'm the only girl in the guild. I'm the one who whined and whined and whined and WHINED about our lack of communication.
They are lovely and humoured me. We got healing/dps/tank chat channels. Our raid leader now often hangs out after raids for those who want to talk about the night. And someone starts a debriefing thread on the forums after each raid.
The Challenges of a Democratic Guild
Alas' Effers made a big splash in the blogosphere with their democratic (and originally officerless) guild. And I think the Effers were the first to really talk about it.
I'm also in a democratic, officerless guild. A democratic, officerless guild that is several years old. We're even sort of GM-less. It took me 6 months in the guild to find out that we had a GM. It went kind of like this:
Me: Why does that guy always get all weird about guild stuff.
Guildie: He started the guild.
Me: So he's actually the GM?
Guildie: I guess you could say that.
There are ruins of past attempts at having officers: there are still some characters with a "team captain" rank and there's an officer forum on our guild website (last post is from December, by someone who doesn't have the "team captain" rank).
But all the raid organization and role leading is done by the 2 or 3 (depending on the day) guys who came up with the idea to fit a raid team into the guild. All "members" can see and type in /ochat. To become a member, you have to be voted in by at least 10 other "members". (I do love the concept, however we don't have 10 active "members" anymore, so it's currently impossible for new recruits to become full members. I'm not a full member.) If someone wants to suggest and implement a new policy, a vote is called and all "members" vote on it.
In theory it's awesome and I love it. In practice, implementing new ideas is a big hassle. This guild is several years old and, until recently, has experienced very little turnover. What happens when a democratic guild has been around for years is this: the group becomes set in its ways and status quo takes over. In other words, everyone becomes afraid of rocking the boat.
So we had a team who hadn't seen much significant change in a few years. We had no one with any formal authority to say "this is what we're going to do". This wasn't looking good.
The results, up 'til now
Our "raid team improvement" thread was about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Since then, we've down 2 new bosses (4 if you count Neferian and Cho'Gall, which aren't much of a challenge on normal mode anymore), which is probably where we would have been anyway.
– We've started every single raid on time (with the exception of a few delays due to having to pug a few raiders).
– We've received a surprising number of applications (including an AWESOME application written by a dear commenter on this very blog!).
-It's been two weeks since we've had to pug. We even had to sit someone for the first time due to too many dps online at once.
– We've shaved a lot of time off our trash pulls (I know because I time our trash).
– I don't feel the need to alt tab out between wipes on progression bosses anymore.
– People who randomly AFK are being chastised by their fellow players.
– Role-teams are communicating more.
– A larger number of team members are participating in strat discussions and post-raid debriefings.
– Some people actually read the forums.
– Guildies have been going out of their way to gear up outside of raids and, even better, helping each other gear up outside of raids.
I can't begin to express how I excited I am and how proud I am of my guildies for all their hard work.
I know that the changes might just be temporary. The pace is new to us, so we're learning and can't joke around as much as we used. We might give up before we get used to this pace. Or we might just decide this style of raiding was fun for a little while, but not longer. Or, as my track record predicts, I might have a falling out with our raid leaders and have to go my own way.
I can, however, accept that nothing lasts forever and, like in anything I do, I'm enjoying the moment.Explore posts in the same categories: Guild thoughts

Oh, Ophelie, thank you, thank you, thank you! I was reading this just this morning and your comment made my day! Really! I'm very much enjoying your guild, and can't wait to raid (when I get the necessary item level and you need me, of course. I'm not pushy for a raid spot). I did spend a bit of time on my application, but after posting it noticed so many others that were just THAT much better than mine and thought that my chances of getting into your guild were slim, especially considering my level at the time. Fortunately, that wasn't the case, and things are looking bright!
August 25, 2011 at 9:52 am
Ha! Only you would think of recording the time it takes you to get through trash. This made my morning.
August 25, 2011 at 9:59 am
Improving and progressing as a group, when you enjoy each other's company and have fun together is really the best feeling isn't it?
Happy Raiding.
August 25, 2011 at 12:31 pm
Reminds me a lot of our guild last year. We basically had to dissolve, reform back in March I think, with a few people who actually wanted to raid, and go from there. We've managed to be in the top 10 progression alliance guilds just about the whole time since though now competition is getting stiff!
Just reading your post made me excited. I love that early phase of getting a team together and watching them get excited and pull together to kill bosses – the energy is infectious! There are hints of it every time a new raid drops and hints of it every time you pull a new boss for the first time, but nothing like doing what you're talking about – changing the raid culture and seeing people bloom.
August 25, 2011 at 4:45 pm
I just had to post my first reply here even though I have been following your blog for awhile now because I know exactly what you are going through with a casual guild in trying to get them to become a bit more focused when it comes to raiding.
My main (pally tank) is currently in a more progression orientated guild, although I have the majority of my alts in my first casual guild. I just could not bring myself to leave it entirely because of the friends that I had made there. So I fill in with my priest alt if they ever need a healer to help them out.
The more progressed 10 man raiding group in the guild went through the same issues that yours has and every now and then reverts back to their old habits. One example is on clearing trash in Firelands. Sometimes in order to speed up the trash pulls, I will start pulling them if I feel that the group isn't moving fast enough and hope the tanks pick them up. This as a holy priest! I always get a laugh whenever the pally healers says in vent "Uh oh, there goes that damn priest running and pulling again".
August 26, 2011 at 12:10 am
Kudos on jumping onboard with the changes. Late or uncertain start times are probably my biggest pet peeve – 30 minutes after raid start, if we aren't in the raid, I have probably already decided to wander off and pick flowers or something. Being picked up late for a thrown-together raid is quite annoying.
I'm really glad to hear about your success so far! Hopefully the changes will soon become the norm and you'll be rolling over new bosses left and right 🙂
August 26, 2011 at 12:09 pm
This reminds me so much of my raid team. SO MUCH. And it's been a cyclic process for us that repeats once every tier. People get lazy. People get busy. Things slow down. People get frustrated. People get proactive. A thread goes up about improving the raid. We tighten up and fly right and finish the Tier.
Then a new tier comes around and inevitably there are one or two people who, for whatever reason, shuffle. Someone quits the game and is replaced; someone decides they hate their and simply MUST play their from now on. And people get lazy. People get busy. Things slow down. People get frustrated. People get proactive. A thread goes up about how we need to fly right. The raid tightens up and moves right.
It's an interesting process, and really… your solution is the only one that works. Either someone(s) steps up, whips the whole group into shape, and makes the raid work; or the raid dies, dissolves, losing the 3-5 people who were always dedicated enough to make it happen.
Good luck. I hope you and your team are able to stick with the changes and make progress keep happening. It's got a way of feeding itself, so enjoy the rising enthusiasm of the group as you work your way forward. 🙂
August 26, 2011 at 12:54 pm
I laughed out lough when I read this, I checked what server you were on to make sure you weren't talking about my guild.
Trying to get an extremely casual guild to raid can be just like nailing jello to a wall.
Good job showing them the light…and how to swing it.
August 26, 2011 at 6:57 pm
Really entertaining, and informative post!
Mean, I just feel you on the majority of points you make. Especially the one about guild members being stuck in their old ways.
I am looking to do a similar strategy with my current guild too. However, I feel our main "hold back" is the confidence our members have in themselves.

I really enojyed reading this, guild relations tend to intrigue me, whether they be good or bad.
August 27, 2011 at 11:36 am
Nice job turning things around. I don't think I would have had the patience to do something like that.
Good luck with raiding, I hope it continues to go well and keeps improving ( and tell them to promote you to member!)

[…] blog, much less reads it regularly, save two or three dear souls. Ophelie of The Bossy Pally put up a great post this week that touched lightly on some guild relations of her own, and was very open about her […]

Getting a group that logs on on time, and doesn't dawdle between wipes is half the work towards reforming wayward raiders.
September 1, 2011 at 5:52 am
Just as I start to drag my heels and feel a bit of a wane in the love for my guild / progress, this is a lovely nudge back to positivity. Dusted off a couple of un(der)used 85s and been healing my little tauren bum off in lots of retro content to get the love back.
Thanks for the motivation!

If You Come Softly
Earlier this month, I wrote about John Green and Rosianna Halse Roja's new book club, Life's Library, that my sister bought me a membership to for my birthday in November. I just finished reading the first selection, Jacqueline Woodson's If You Come Softly, and I'm not disappointed. It's a simple yet moving story about first love, tragedy, prejudice, violence against young Black men and much more.

Because fatties love to eat, AM I RIGHT?
- Megan McArdle, usually the cause of much eyebrow raising and weary sighing in the feminist blogosphere, actually does a good interview with Kate's fantasy boyfriend, Paul Campos. There are also several followup posts in which McArdle sometimes fights the good fight and sometimes says weird shit (she seems to think that fat people are hungry All The Time) — but she does take on her fat-hating commenters, for which I give her some props.
- Jon Stewart on a lot of things, but most pertinently, the difference between beliefs and facts.
- The Angry Black Woman posts Rules for Beneficial Discourse at Alas — a must read. These rules come out of what seems to be a never-ending RaceFail in the SF/F online community, which I admit I have not been following too closely (but I bet some of you have).
- Kate has a great post on the marketing of a drug for "inadequate or not enough lashes" on that other blog she's doing. ;-)
- And people wonder why gaming culture doesn't feel woman-friendly…
- Also via our blogcrush Sociological Images, mannequins at Barneys New York were set up wearing fashionable clothing — and being violently murdered.

Scott Walker: Some ungrateful Who Dats should remember ghosts of Saints' seasons past
Drew Brees is a bum. He's overrated. He should be benched. He should get a box of coal for Christmas.
Those statements (and a lot more) were tweeted by real people, who are supposedly real Saints fans, during or after Sunday's game against the Panthers.
I'm all for criticizing players when their play isn't up to par, but to scold a guy like Brees in such brazen terms is ridiculous. He is one of the game's all-time great quarterbacks and is the reason the Saints won their first Super Bowl a few short years ago. He is the reason the Saints are 10-5. He is the reason the Saints are one of the NFL's elite teams.
No one is perfect. And Brees occasionally has bad days.
A quarterback's success is directly proportional to the time he has to throw the football. Brees hasn't had a lot of time to do that this year because pass protection by his offensive line has been nothing short of disastrous. The running game stinks, too, but that's a story for another day.
Brees has been sacked 36 times in 2013, nine sacks more than the next-highest season total (2005 in San Diego). He's also been hurried, hit and knocked down more times than he'd like to count. That wears on a quarterback. Numbers like that make a guy like Brees uneasy in his often-unsteady pocket. He'll rush throws. Linebackers will intercept some passes. But that's life.
This season, Brees has thrown for 4,781 yards and 35 touchdowns while completing 68 percent of his passes. He's a Super Bowl MVP, a perennial Pro-Bowler, has thrown for more yards than all but four quarterbacks in the history of the NFL and holds the single-season yardage record.
In the eight seasons before Brees arrived, the Saints had seven starting quarterbacks. Here are some names that strike fear into Who Dat Nation: Kerry Collins, Danny Wuerffel, Billy Joe Tolliver, Billy Joe Hobert, Jake Delhomme, Jeff Blake and Aaron Brooks. Looking back a little further reveals names like Jim Everett, Doug Nussmeier, Wade Wilson, Mike Buck and Steve Walsh.
Drew Brees is the picture of stability, professionalism, athleticism and greatness. He touches the ball on every play and makes far more spectacular plays than bone-headed ones. Saints fans have to take the good with the bad.
Criticize Brees when he has a bad game and throws a ridiculous pick-six. Criticize Sean Payton when he makes crazy play-calling decisions. Criticize the defense when it blows coverages.
Then get over it.
Remember where this team has been and where it could easily end up again. The Saints have a future Hall-of-Famer at quarterback. Head coach Sean Payton is arguably the best coach in the league.
The Saints will be in the playoffs. Again.
The Saints have won a Super Bowl!
Be grateful for your gifts this Christmas season.

Condor is a specialized workload management system for compute-intensive jobs. It provides a job queuing mechanism, scheduling policy, priority scheme, and resource monitoring and management.
A flaw was found in the way Condor interpreted wildcards in authorization lists. Certain authorization lists using wildcards in DENY rules, such as DENY_WRITE or HOSTDENY_WRITE, that conflict with the definitions in ALLOW rules, could permit authenticated remote users to submit computation jobs,
even when such access should have been denied. (CVE-2008-3424)
How do I fix this bug in Condor Software?
Type the following command to fix this bug
# up2date -u
If you are using Red Hat Enterprise MRG 1, enter:
# yum update
Bug Fixed in this update
* the /etc/condor/condor_config file started with "What machine is your
central manager?". The following line was blank, instead of having the
"CONDOR_HOST" option, causing confusion. The "What machine…" text is now
* condor_config.local defined "LOCK = /tmp/[lock file]". This is no longer
explicitly defined; however, lock files may be in "/tmp/", and could be
removed by tmpwatch. A "LOCK_FILE_UPDATE_INTERVAL" option, which defaults
to eight hours, has been added. This updates the timestamps on lock files,
preventing them from being removed by tools such as tmpwatch.
* when a "SCHEDD_NAME" name in condor_config ended with an "@", the
system's hostname was appended. For example, if "SCHEDD_NAME = test@" was
configured, "condor_q -name test@" failed with an "Collector has no record
of schedd/submitter" error. Now, the hostname is not appended when a name
ends with an "@". In High Availability (HA) Schedd deployments, this allows
a name to be shared by multiple Schedds.
* when too few arguments were passed to "condor_qedit", such as
"condor_qedit -constraint TRUE", a segfault occurred. Better argument
handling has been added to resolve this.
* due to missing common_createddl.sql and pgsql_createddl.sql files,
it was not possible to use Quill. Now, these files are included in
* "condor_submit -dump ad [file-name]" caused a segfault if the [file-name]
job contained "universe = grid".
* previously, a condor user and group were created if they did not exist,
without specifying a specific UID and GID. Now, UID and GID 64 are used.
The effect of this change is non-existent if upgrading the condor packages.
If an existing condor user and group are manually changed, problems with
file ownership will occur.
Configuration changes (from the Condor release notes – see link below):
* a new CKPT_SERVER_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL variable sets the time interval
between a checkpoint server checking if its parent is running. If the
parent server has died, the checkpoint server is shut down.
* a new CKPT_PROBE variable to define an executable for the helper process
Condor uses for information about the CheckpointPlatform attribute.
* STARTER_UPLOAD_TIMEOUT now defaults to 300 seconds.
* new variables (booleans) PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS_STABLE and
PREEMPTION_RANK_STABLE, configure whether attributes used in
PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS and PREEMPTION_RANK change during negotiation
* a new GRIDMANAGER_MAX_WS_DESTROYS_PER_RESOURCE variable, with a
default value of 5, defines the number of simultaneous WS destroy commands
that can be sent to a server for type gt4 grid universe jobs.
* now, VALID_SPOOL_FILES automatically includes the "SCHEDD.lock" lock file
for condor_schedd HA failover.
* the default value for SEC_DEFAULT_SESSION_DURATION has been changed from
8640000 seconds (100 days) to 86400 seconds (one day).
Important: these updated packages upgrade Condor to version 7.0.4. For a
full list of changes, refer to the Condor release notes:
condor users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these

An evil queen holds the land of Palindor increasingly in her sway. The only creatures who might have stood up to her power, the Holy Gnomes, are long dead, killed by a suspicious fire that swept through the Holy Barrows of Perendeth. But, unknown to everyone, two young gnomes escaped the fire. Now, after years of waiting, the High Lord Olvensar visits the gnomes and tells them it is time to topple the queen. Aided by a young woman from another world, they set out to find the source of the queen's growing power and thwart her evil designs while there is still time. Dark knights, spies, goblins, and other dangerous creatures mix with bickering crones, a particularly stupid three-headed troll and the golden-furred, amiable dablik to combine danger and romp as rival powers struggle for the future of Palindor.

Jennifer Lopez can rest easy now that a $10 million lawsuit filed against her has been dismissed.
The lawsuit came about two years ago when Lopez's attorneys sent cease-and-desist letters to her former hubby Ojani Noa, his business partner Ed Meyer and producer Claudia Vazquez while they were working on a film for Telemundo called I Owe JLo.
The film was set to tell details about Lopez's failed marriage to Noa, but when the "Dance Again" singer allegedly interfered with the flick's production, causing it to be "unmarketable," according to Vazquez, the producer sued her for $10 million for tortious interference.
U.S. & World
Jennifer Lopez's fashion face-off...with herself
While Vazquez claimed the film would be a "comedic parody of Noa's life crafted almost entirely from the material that is already in the public domain," Lopez said the movie would reveal information that could be damaging to her career.
Prior to Vazquez's lawsuit, Lopez sued Noa and Meyer for $10 million for breach of contract, violation of publicity rights, invasion of privacy, and more, after Vazquez entered into a production agreement with Meyer to produce a film about Noa's life, which would've included details about his marriage to Lopez.
As a result of that suit, the actress was able to obtain an injunction to stop production on a film called, How I Married Jennifer Lopez: The JLO and Ojani Noa Story, which Noa and Meyer were working on.
Although Vazquez was named in the cease-and-desist letters Lopez sent to stop that film, she was not included in the aforementioned lawsuit against Noa and Meyer.
Jennifer Lopez sues former chauffeur for $20 million
Vazquez was working on a different project--I Owe JLo--at the time, and turned around and filed suit against Lopez when the film came to a standstill in light of Lopez's threats.
Lopez tried to shut down Vazquez's lawsuit at the time with an anti-SLAPP motion, but while a judge agreed Vazquez's claims arose from constitutionally protected free speech, a trial court said Vazquez still had chance of winning the case.
Because, according to the court, Vazquez may have been able to approve that the injunction did not involve her and Lopez's actions did cause the movie to not get made.
Did Prince Harry party with Jennifer Lopez in Vegas?
Lopez still appealed that ruling, however, and Monday she won.
The appellate court determined Vazquez could not base her case on Lopez's cease-and-desist letter because it is a "privileged legal communication that can't be used in court."
We guess that (finally) settles that.

'Citizen' Margaret
When she was named Citizen of the Arts for 2008, the Fine Arts Foundation was paying tribute to all that Margaret Cunningham has done to advance, and maintain, such organizations as Opera Colorado, the Colorado Symphony, Rocky Mountain PBS and the Fine Arts Foundation.
But like others before her, this Citizen has many other irons in the fire, and interests that have literally taken her to the ends of the earth.
Next to the arts, adventure travel is her passion. As one friend pointed out: "Margaret may be the only person you know who has been to Muscat, Oman; Ulan Bator, Mongolia; and Samarkand, Uzbekistan." Her itinerary this year calls for trips to Israel and Antarctica.
Lest anyone think of her as stodgy and uptight, though, consider how a decades-long friendship with Barbara Knight began:
"Our sons were both on the Kent Denver football team," Knight recalled during the social hour that preceeded the Fine Arts Jubilee where Cunningham accepted her Citizen of the Arts award. "And when we were in the parking lot before one of their games, she opened the trunk of her car and there was a bottle of champagne and two glasses. I knew then and there that this was the start of a beautiful friendship."
A shared appreciation for the bubbly may have started their friendship, but other common interests caused it to flourish and today Knight and Cunningham remain as close as they were back when they were young mothers raising children.
A native of Bartlesville, Okla., Cunningham earned a bachelor of arts degree in French and history from the University of Oklahoma before moving to Denver in 1964. Here, she raised her two children — Amy and Chris — and immersed herself in the community.
One of her early involvements was with KRMA-Channel 6, one of Denver's two Public Broadcasting stations. She has been a volunteer on-air personality there for some 20 years and has been a member of both the local and national PBS boards.
In addition, Cunningham has been on the boards of Opera Colorado, the Denver Public Library Friends Foundation, Samaritan Institute and Boy Scouts of America Denver Council. She is a past president of the Colorado Lawyer Trust Account Foundation, Colorado Judicial Institute, Sewall Child Development Center, the Symphony Debs and the Fine Arts Foundation.
Nonprofit leaders have long known that when there's a big job to do, Cunningham is to go-to person. Thus, she has chaired some of Denver's largest fund-raisers, including the opening of "Aztec: The World of Montezuma" for Denver Museum of Nature and Science; the opening of Denver's new Central Library; Do At The Zoo; Denver Botanic Gardens' Fete des Fleurs; and the 1989 Summer Debutante Ball.
That was the year she created the Citizen of the Arts award, with the first recipient being Marlis Smith.
She is currently a board member for the University of Colorado Center for Bioethics and the state Supreme Court's Judicial Advisory Council.
In addition to being honored at the Fine Arts Jubilee, which was chaired by Janie Prendergast and Claudette Erek, Cunningham will be part of the receiving line this summer at the Fine Arts Debutante Ball.
Her daughter and son-in-law flew in from Wilmington, N.C., where they own several businesses; her son, an attorney in Seattle, also came in to help honor his mother.
In keeping with tradition, the Jubilee showcased young artists affiliated with organizations that the Fine Arts Foundation supports. During cocktail hour, a jazz trio from the University of Denver's Lamont School of Music entertained; following dinner, In the Buff, a vocal ensemble from the University of Colorado, performed several songs.
Past recipients of the Citizen of the Arts award who attended the Jubilee included Nancy Stamper, Phyllis and Dr. Gary VanderArk, Charleen Dunn, Liz Frawley, Jean and Dick Watt, and Sherrye Berger.
Among the guests were Erna Butler, Patrice and Gordon Von Stroh, Susan Stiff, Kevin Mynatt and Pat Pearce, representing the Central City Opera; Fine Arts Foundation co-presidents Lynn Hinkle and Jean Watt; Jean and Joe Hodges; Mary and Judge Clifton Flowers; Sue Kinney; Kalleen Malone; Margot and Don Schlup; Kitty and Don Gregg; Gail and Philip Nash; Lucette Larkin; Jane and Jim Wiltshire; D'Wayn and David Stone; Mary McNicholas; Kim and Michael Porter; Kathryn and Garrette Matlock; Lynn and Dr. David Wong; Bertha Haugen; Arlene and Don Johnson; Deb Loftness; and Pam Duke with her daughter, Sara.

Kozminski University starts cooperation with eight international universities in the research project "Trust in Governance and Regulation in Europe" (TiGRE). The EU-funded project aims to analyze trust relationships with regulatory policies in Europe.
David Hanson, the American creator of the famous robot Sophia, has visited our university. He met with the authorities of our university and talked about possibilities of cooperation in Artificial Intelligence range.
Professor Aneta Hryckiewicz-Gontarczyk, the leader of the Master in Big Data Science program, has been elected to the Committee on Finance Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
According to the "Financial Times" European Business School ranking, Kozminski University is the leader among business schools in Central Eastern Europe. This year, we were ranked on the 48th place!
Kozminski's Triple Crown
Amongst business school accreditations, the most prestigious and difficult to acquire are EQUIS, AMBA, and AACSB (the so-called 'Triple Crown' of accreditation). Currently, 87 business schools (out of 13,600) in the world hold these three accreditations. In 2011, Kozminski University joined this prestigious group.
What does this mean for you? It guarantees that the courses you take at Kozminski are of a high quality and recognized by other educational institutes – and it ensures that a Kozminski diploma is well-recognized in the business world.
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is one of the world's oldest business school accreditation bodies – and currently, less than 6 percent of all business schools in the world hold an AACSB accreditation. Indeed, to date, over 700 of the world's 13,600 business education institutions are accredited by the AACSB.
For more information visit www.aacsb.edu
Based in Brussels, the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) evaluates the quality of a business school's services and facilities and only awards its accreditation to the best. Currently, around 150 institutes carry the EFMD's prestigious EQUIS accreditation. Kozminski University was the first university in Central and Eastern Europe to be awarded this distinction.
For more information visit www.efmd.org
The Association of MBAs (AMBA) confirms the highest quality of educational services amongst MBA programs. An AMBA evaluation considers factors such as facility, programs, staff qualifications, and student achievements and only 2% of the business schools in the world are distinct enough to claim the AMBA accreditation. Kozminski University earned its AMBA accreditation in June 2008.

Kozminski University also holds the accreditation of the Central and East European Management Development Association. The IQA accreditation evaluates the level of professionalism of educational institutions.

To Wall Street scourge Janet Tavakoli, the list of financial-crisis villains still evading responsibility is not short and includes, to name a few, Jamie Dimon, Jon Corzine, Tim Geithner, Mary Schapiro, George W. Bush, President Obama and the financial media.
The list is hardly exhaustive, but provides some balance to a satirical piece she wrote in Wednesday's Huffington Post titled "Prince Harry Offered Partner Position at Goldman Sachs." Reading like a memo written by Goldman Sachs to the unflatteringly photographed scion of the British royal family, a reader might have gotten the impression it is Goldman Sachs she is unhappy with:
"You've [Prince Harry] been overexposed. We completely understand that feeling! We felt the same way when we bought credit default protection from AIG on rotten CDOs, some of which we manufactured ourselves for ourselves and for foreign banks. We nearly sunk AIG, but U.S. taxpayers were forced to bail it out."
The article by Tavakoli, a credit derivatives expert and author most recently of "The New Robber Barons," reads like a criminal fraud indictment of Goldman Sachs, but in an interview with AdvisorOne, the Chicago-based consultant said, "You could say the same thing for Merrill Lynch. You could say a similar thing for the fact that [JPMorgan Chase CEO] Jamie Dimon has not yet been held accountable" for the nearly $6 billion in derivatives trading losses at a JPMorgan unit that reported to him and for which he gave signed risk-control assurances under Sarbanes-Oxley rules.
Tavakoli says all the major former investment banks and large bank holding companies participated in fraud during the subprime mortgage crisis, but the public—and even the financial community itself—remains uninformed about their role.
"There's been a lot of lying, and the lying has been so good that many people in the business aren't fully aware of the big picture of what happened," Tavakoli says.
What the lies of which Tavakoli speaks are attempting to obscure is "widespread massive fraud for which people have not been indicted," and an additional barrier to justice has been Wall Street's "shills in the financial media. It's as if they're taking dictation," Tavakoli says.
As an example of what she calls this "campaign against the truth," Tavakoli cites a recent Columbia School of Journalism expose of CNBC financial reporter Maria Bartiromo and contributor Bethany McClean on a report about Goldman Sachs avoiding a Justice Department indictment.
Former regulator Bill Black, also on the taped CNBC segment, attempted a vigorous case against Goldman, but "he has been marginalized; these ladies were laughing at him."
Yet "despite this reprehensible behavior [securities fraud], they are a bank as of 2008, they can now borrow from the Fed," Tavakoli says.
Besides Wall Street and the media, Tavakoli, who was on the cover of Research magazine in May, is no less critical of Washington's role in covering up financial fraud.
"The Treasury and the Fed have manipulated the narrative by, for instance, saying we need money [for] TARP; we need money [for] AIG. Any reasonable liquidator would have clawed back that money" [on collateral calls made to Goldman, SocGen and others], she says.
Tavakoli wants to see too-big-to-fail banks broken up, but says even that is insufficient.
"We have to look into the practices. We do have too many regulators, but they're failed regulators. We could rid ourselves of two-thirds of the people in the system. We have the wrong kind of regulators. In fact we have anti-regulators— incompetent and venal people unable to do their jobs."
Tavakoli cites MF Global and its disgraced CEO, former Gov. Jon Corzine of New Jersey, as a case in point. "I and many other financial professionals don't understand why he has not been indicted.
"It appears there are sufficient grounds for an indictment," she continues. "If you look at Sarbanes-Oxley [rules], they had bond issuance [last] August and material misstatements were made in August. The representations were that they had adequate risk controls.
"And that's above and beyond the looting of customer accounts," she says.
Tavakoli believes that Dimon is equally indictable under Sarbanes-Oxley rules. She criticizes President Obama for appearing "on [the TV program] The View and saying Jamie Dimon is a great bank manager when, embarrassingly enough, it turns out the losses were many times more [than originally thought] and people in that unit may face criminal indictment."
She suspects fundraising has something to do with all this.
"We're looking at both sides of the aisle getting massive contributions from Wall Street and they'd like to continue that; Corzine is one of Obama's top campaign bundlers," she said. "Under the Bush administration, a lot of these problems were allowed to fester and thrive. And the Democrats promised change and instead gave us more of the same."
"Obama appointed people from the Bush Administration who are failed regulators," she continued, citing SEC Chairwoman Mary Schapiro as a prime example. "She's the antichrist of investor advocacy," Tavakoli says, pointing to her record as head of FINRA in the Bush administration. "The record is along the lines of I-banks 100, investors zero," she adds.
"The fish rots from the head. Based on her track record at FINRA, she shouldn't be in the regulatory system at all."
Asked about Schapiro's recent push to regulate money-market funds, Tavakoli answered: "How did that turn out?" implying there may have been more of an appearance of effort than determination to achieve results.
Tavakoli concludes that we need to crack down on criminal fraud in order to restore our financial system.
"You don't build confidence in the financial system by covering up the problems. You build confidence by addressing problems swiftly and effectively and by rooting out fraud," she says.

Listed below is a selection of optional extras that can be added to your tour. Just select which options you want to add to your booking when you reserve your tour, or alternatively just let us know and we'll add them to your booking. Further options are also available when you get to Nepal (such as Everest mountain flight, Kathmandu city tour, rafting or safari extensions).
If you want to guarantee yourself a single room throughout the tour, then we need to add a single supplement charge.
If you are a single traveller joining a group tour, then if you are happy to, you may share a twin room with another single traveller on the tour of the same sex. If there are no other single travellers available for you to pair up with at the time of your booking, then we will need to add the single supplement to your tour price, but will refund this or deduct it from your balance payment if we are able to pair you up later on.
Note: We cannot guarantee single rooms in the trekking lodges during peak seasons. If you are happy to share a room on the trek, but require a single for the rest of the tour, a reduced supplement is available - please contact us for details.
Note: Couples will always be given a private double room, and triple/family rooms are available on request.
This option gives you a chance to tour the ancient cities of Patan and Bhaktapur during a free day in Kathmandu. Situated on the outskirts of Kathmandu these areas are full of character and you see plenty of temples, stupas and old wooden buildings as well as enjoying the bustling local life.
The tour lasts for a full day and includes private transport and the services of a professional local tour guide.
This option adds an extra free day in Kathmandu to the start of your tour. The price includes one night in a Standard level hotel (normally the Shanker hotel), breakfast, all taxes, and your arrival airport transfer if required.
This option adds an extra free day in Kathmandu to the end of your tour. The price includes one night in a Standard level hotel (normally the Shanker hotel), breakfast, all taxes, and your departure airport transfer if required.
Leaving either Kathmandu or Pokhara on the second last day of the tour, this option adds a 3 day/3-night wildlife safari in the Royal Chitwan National Park to your tour.
Staying in one of our Standard level lodges (eg. Island Jungle Resort), we include a jeep safari, jungle walk, river-canoe trip, elephant ride, tour and a cultural program in one of Asia's most famous national parks. All park activities and entrance fees are included.
This option gives you more than 2 full days in Chitwan, giving you a better chance to see as much wildlife as possible and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere here, and will add 3 days to the overall length of your tour. The price includes your return journey by superior tourist coach to Kathmandu (approx. 6 hours) and one night there. A single room supplement will be added if required, and the Kathamandu-Chitwan, and Chitwan-Kathmandu journeys can be upgraded to internal flights if you prefer.
For those wishing to take the rafting to a higher level, or those short of time, this 2 day/1 night rafting option takes
you to one of Nepal's steepest and most technical white water rivers. This grade IV-IV+ river is just 3 hours from Kathmandu, starting close to the Tibetan border, and makes an excellent adrenaline filled extension to your tour. The night is spent camping on beaches on the banks of the river, so you will need a sleeping bag (available to hire in Kathmandu).
This option starts on the last day of our set tour itineraries and includes one night rafting and one night in the hotel in Kathmandu after you finish, overall adding add two days to the total length of your tour.
Leaving Kathmandu on the last day of the tour, this option adds a 3-night wildlife safari in Bardia National Park to your tour. Staying in Bardia Eco Lodge, we include a jeep safari, jungle walk, elephant ride, village tour and bird watching walk in one of Nepal's more remote national parks, where you have the best chance in the country of seeing tigers. All park activities and entrance fees are included, as well as one night in a hotel in Kathmandu on your return from Bardia.
This option gives you more than 2 full days in Bardia, so you can see as much wildlife as possible and enjoy the quiet & peaceful atmosphere here, and will add 4 days to the overall length of your tour. The price includes return flights between Kathmandu & Nepalganj and all transfers. A single traveller supplement will be added if required.
This flight leaves from Kathmandu and lasts for around an hour, taking you up towards Everest and the surrounding high peaks. You can even get glimpses of the high Tibetan plateau. The planes have larger than normal clear windows, and window seats are guaranteed.
We recommend that this option is booked in advance if you know you want to do it. As flight departures are weather dependent, we aim to book one of the first flights of the morning. This means a very early start, but gives you the best chance of getting clear weather all the way, and means the rest of your day's itinerary is less likely to be affected by any delays. You can also book this option while you are in Nepal, but it will be harder to secure one of the early flights.
This optional trekking pack provides a selection of equipment that you may want to use during your trek but not buy in advance or carry with you to Nepal. The trekking pack includes:
- 3 or 4-season sleeping bag - You need to have a sleeping bag on all our trekking tours. We provide a 3 or 4-season bag (depending on your date of travel) which is washed between every use. We suggest you bring a sleeping bag liner for extra comfort.
- trekking poles - These provide extra support and assistance when walking up and down the many hills you'll be crossing during your trek and will take a lot of the strain off tired knees and legs.
- down jacket - These thick warm jackets are particularly welcome during cooler seasons and in the evenings at higher altitudes after you have finished walking for the day.

Tune in to watch the program at 8:00 pm Wednesday, February 20, 2013! "The Great Aquarium Treasure Hunt" This educational, live-action, family program follows the fictional students of South Town Middle school on their class field trip through the National Aquarium! But this time there's a catch - Science Teacher Mr. Hedgeman has turned it into a Treasure Hunt! Join Dewey and Trevor on a wild exploration of the National Aquarium, home to thousands of species of marine life! Throughout their journey, the students meet and learn from National Aquarium experts. They explore marine life of the Chesapeake Bay, go "down under" to visit the crocodiles of Australia, discover the frogs in an indoor rain forest and submerge into the Atlantic and Pacific oceans for an up-close look at the array of deep sea life from sharks to rays to dolphins. In the end, Dewey and Trevor will explore the entire aquarium, but can they be the first team to have all the answers before it's too late? Check out our exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from the filming below! A special thanks to all National Aquarium staff who were involved in the filming, especially our amazing on-screen stars: Allison, Beth, Jessica, Kyle and Andy! In addition to airing on MPT, the program will be played at the Herman & Walter Samuelson Children's Hospital at Sinai Hospital through its internal cable systems in patient rooms and waiting rooms. Major funding for The Great Aquarium Treasure Hunt is provided by LifeBridge Health. Don't forget to tune in to MPT for the premiere of "The Great Aquarium Treasure Hunt" at 8:00 pm Wednesday, February 20, 2013!

text: Our mission, closely intertwined with the University's Mission Statement, is as follows: "We bring wisdom to life by combining the finest, contemporary academic education with the timeless teachings of Torah. It is Yeshiva's unique dual curriculum, which teaches knowledge enlightened by values, that helps our students gain the wisdom to make their lives both a secular and spiritual success." History of Stern College for Women Founded in 1954 with a major gift from Max Stern, president of Hartz Mountain Products, Stern College for Women is a pioneer in the field of women's education. We offer women the unprecedented opportunity to earn their bachelor's degree in the arts and sciences and immerse themselves in rigorous Jewish studies at the same time, in the same place. Though ambitious, our beginnings were humble. Our inaugural class consisted of just 32 students and one building: 253 Lexington Avenue, formerly the Packard Junior College. Out-of-town students boarded at a series of hotels until September 1965, when the college converted a $4 million apartment complex on East 34th Street into a dormitory building. A Growing Reputation for Excellence and Diversity Over the next dozen years, word about the unique community taking shape at Stern College spread. Enrollment blossomed from a handful of metropolitan and out-of-state students to more than 500 from across the country. Whether they had graduated from the Samuel H. Wang Yeshiva University High School for Girls (established in 1948) or from a Midwestern public school and a Talmud Torah program, young Jewish women flocked to Stern College, seeking the chance to explore academic and professional fields in a setting that strengthened their religious commitment. Under the direction of Mrs. Cecile Feder, first head of Stern College and its first registrar, and later Deans Dan Vogel, Norman E. Frimer and David Mirsky, we developed a multi-tiered Jewish studies curriculum that embraced these diverse backgrounds and levels of religious awareness. Our students began to reflect the wider Jewish community, as young women from Canada, South America and Europe brought their own culture and perspective to the campus in midtown Manhattan. Our First Female Dean and an Ever-Expanding Curriculum In September 1977, we appointed our first female dean: Dr. Karen Bacon, a 1964 alumna with a doctorate in microbiology. During her tenure as dean, academics have expanded and evolved. In the 1980s, we introduced the study of Talmud, a foundational text of Jewish religion previously inaccessible to women, to our Judaic curriculum. That department became the Rebecca Ivry Department of Jewish Studies in 1986. We also began to attract high-level faculty from other universities around the country, including biologist Harvey Babich, philosopher David Shatz and theoretical physicist Lea Santos. Stern Today: Infinite Possibilities Today, more than 1,000 students from across the United States and countries that span the globe attend Stern College. It is truly a gathering place of people and ideas, from Colombia to Morocco, Seattle to Teaneck. United by their quest for both unparalleled intellectual engagement and spiritual exploration, our students are ground-breakers. They become pioneers in their fields, whether as the first volunteer to serve on the US base at the South Pole, as a clerk for the Supreme Court of Israel or a professor of comparative literature at a Chinese university. The S. Daniel Abraham Honors Program, begun with a major gift from philanthropist S. Daniel Abraham in 1999, has attracted students of ever-higher academic caliber to the college, where they engage in once-in-a-lifetime research opportunities and forge rewarding relationships with faculty mentors. We have come light-years from our simple start with a handful of young women and a visionary dream. Our campus has grown from one building and a hotel to five dormitories bustling with students and three state-of-the-art classroom buildings. In December 2009, the beloved 245 Lexington Avenue building was renamed Stanton Hall in recognition of board member Ronald P. Stanton and his ceaseless dedication to Yeshiva University, including a gift of $100 million dollars to fund the Stanton Legacy. That's where we've been so far. The best is yet to come.

Mallard's Family Restaurant
- 50% off
- Only on the App
- Madison
- American (Traditional)
This mom-and-pop shop will satisfy your cravings in a way that fancy-pants restaurants simply cannot. Check out the Southern breakfast classics, like Biscuits & Gravy, and rotating weekly specials, like all-you-can-eat catfish on Friday.Our city has some dang good food. And while we're always eager to try the latest fancy pants restaurant to pop up on the Nashville food scene, sometimes, we find ourselves longing for the simplicity and charm only a small town mom-and-pop restaurant can offer. Located on Dickerson Pike just a short drive from Downtown, Mallard's Family Restaurant is our escape to a simpler time.
The menu hasn't changed all that much in the 40 years they've been open. And frankly, we'd be disappointed if it did. Opening at 5:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday (on Sundays they open at 7 a.m.), Mallard's offers Southern breakfast classics like biscuits and gravy and pancakes, as well as a super economical (it's only $4.95) breakfast plate that'll leave you with leftovers for days. No, seriously—Hanna's Favorite Breakfast Special consists of two eggs, two silver dollar hot cakes, two sausage links, two strips of bacon and two biscuits. And best of all? They serve breakfast all day. As far as the lunch/dinner menu goes, Mallard's hand-patted, seasoned-at-the-time-of-order burger is a favorite of ours (it's also the most popular item on their menu), as is Country Ham Sandwich. Meat specials change daily (we love Chicken and Dumpling Mondays), but you can always expect to find Roast Beef, Grilled Ham, Grilled Chicken and Steak & Gravy on the menu at Mallard's. Oh, and if you ever find yourself feelin' extra ravenous on a Wednesday or Friday, you're in luck. Wednesday = all-you-can-eat spaghetti and Friday = all-you-can-eat-catfish. Don't act like you're not excited.
Menu Highlights:
Hanna's Favorite Breakfast Special, $4.95
French Toast, $3.25
Country Ham Biscuit, $1.75
Cheeseburger, $3.45
Grilled Chicken Pita, $5.55
Meat + Three, $6.45
Monday - Saturday, 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Sunday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
