International Energy Governance
Selected Legal Issues
Rafael Leal-Arcas, Andrew Filis and Ehab S. Abu Gosh
Chapter 6: The EU and its systemic relationship to the Energy Community and the Energy Charter Treaty
Rafael Leal-Arcas, Andrew Filis and Ehab S. Abu Gosh
This chapter relates to European Union (EU) energy security and two special and important multilateral regimes (namely the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) and the Energy Community (EnC)) regarding the promotion of EU energy security interests at the extra-EU level. EU energy security often takes place through the propagation of energy-related norms among third-party States via, among other things, hard-law means (e.g., international legal agreements). In this context, we home in on the normative frameworks in relation to the ECT and the Energy Community Treaty (EnCT), examine their systemic relationship to the EU, and offer an account of their respective dispute settlement arrangements. The EU is, for its most part, dependent on the world outside its borders for a steady and secure energy supply. The EU borders, or is close to, areas rich in energy-related natural resource endowments – such as Russia, the Caspian Sea, the Middle East and North Africa regions, and Norway – from where the bulk of energy imports into the EU are sourced. The collapse of the Soviet Union and of the bureaucratic regimes in Central and Eastern Europe – which precipitated the opening up of those economies to globalization and its attendant processes – has increasingly made their energy-related natural resource endowments available on global markets. Developed, yet energy-poor, Western economies – many of which have galvanized behind the EU – saw opportunities to enhance their energy security through those economies on the brink of collapse.

Last week (Part 1), I explained that to make sure your website is on Google that there was one easy way to check, and one easy way to make sure that Google would know about your website.
Go back and read the first part of Your Website On Google if you missed the first part of the series.
This week, we want to talk about relevant content (meaning, relevant to the needs of your (potential) clients. The basic concept is: If they are not searching, they are not interested.
Effectively, if Google knows about your website, and Google can index your website the last piece of the (relatively simple) process is to make sure that you have "good and useful content that is relevant to the user's search" (Quote from Google).
In fact, here is the information directly from Google about how they serve results (meaning, how they rank your website so that it comes up on higher for a particular phrase).
(Copied from Google's website – 6/2/2010)
When a user enters a query, our machines search the index for matching pages and return the results we believe are the most relevant to the user. Relevancy is determined by over 200 factors, one of which is the PageRank for a given page. PageRank is the measure of the importance of a page based on the incoming links from other pages. In simple terms, each link to a page on your site from another site adds to your site's PageRank. Not all links are equal: Google works hard to improve the user experience by identifying spam links and other practices that negatively impact search results. The best types of links are those that are given based on the quality of your content.
So, in other words, we need to not only have good content, but also quality backlinks to your content.
What is backlink? A backlink is the "incoming link" mentioned above. Effectively, it is a link from a different website (including different server, IP Address and Domain Name) which points back to your URL. Furthermore, there is a value to what phrase is highlighted for the backlink to your web page.
Before you get too concerned about backlinks, let's make sure there is quality content on your website.
To create compelling content, you need to understand what your clients are searching for in order to create content which will fill their need.
For example, if I was in the mortgage business, and my clients are searching for "Home Mortgage Calculaters", then I need to have content which talks to how Home Mortgage Calculators work, and how to use them to support my efforts.
What I want to do is research which phrases are being used, and then create (and post) content to my website which supports these phrases. I will then make sure Google knows about my new content (there is a benefit to "freshness" of your content on your website) by updating the sitemap.xml page for Google.
One of the tools (there are both free and paid-for services) to research phrases is Google's Search-based keyword tool. Ignore the first box (where you type in a website) and just type in a phrase you might want to research. I typed in "mortgage" and was able to quickly tell that "mortgage calculator" was searched 4x more frequently than the next phrase "mortgage rates".
Now, I have an idea of what content I would want to create which could generate 'hits' for me when people search. There is a caveat to this method. If the quantity of pages which this phrase is extremely large, you will have a very hard time getting up to the top of the search engine.
If you are trying to create a conversation with your customers then becoming top ranked for a search term might not be the tactic you are striving for.
Either way, you have a tool and a tactic which will help you decide what the content of your website can talk about which has an EXCELLENT chance of being relevant to your (potential) clients.
Take this phrase and test it using Twitter if you would like to get an idea of what people are posting about this phrase. Go to Twitter.com and simply type in the phrase at the top of the page. Instant Research.
Once again, don't get overwhelmed. You must start somewhere, and I have explained how to figure out what to start talking about. You (should) have many contacts and other ways in which this content is going to become very useful to you in the near future. For example, using the A.I. Website methodology, this content will be repurposed into an Email to keep a conversation going with all of your customers.
That is part 2 of our 4 part series Your Website on Google. Join our email list above to be updated weekly on different tools, suggestions and tips regarding technology, marketing and sales from Simple Steps I.T.

Capture this moment
the brief
Kathryn Goddard is a photographer based in the Forest of Dean. She was rebranding and as part of that exercise, wanted a new website to showcase her work, that would allow her to update content regularly but that would look different to other portfolio style sites.
what they got
Working with her new logo and branding, we were able to create an unusual design which incorporated the different areas she works in as well as making sure the user experience was easy and navigation clear. We then built a site that included:
- Dynamic photo gallery that stacks and arranges images of different sizes.
- A blog integrated with social media
- A full featured CMS (the site was built upon the Silverstripe CMS), that allows 'pages' to be edited, created and deleted easily by the client.
- Links to 3rd party sites for client viewing of projects.
- Full mobile theme to allow for easy user interaction.

Some quick hits ahead of Tuesday night's Game 6 matchup between the Blackhawks and the Wild (9 p.m. ET, CNBC, TSN, RDS2):
• Based on today's skate, coach Joel Quenneville will stick with the lines that won Game 5 for Chicago: Patrick Sharp-Jonathan Toews-Marian Hossa; Brandon Saad-Michal Handzus-Patrick Kane; Bryan Bickell-Peter Regin-Kris Versteeg; Joakim Nordstrom-Marcus Kruger-Ben Smith.
• Some of the lines that Quenneville constructed during this series have put a premium on defensive balance, but this looks like a bid to charge out of the gate, grab an early lead and dare Minnesota to try to catch up. Makes a lot of sense. The Hawks struggled to score in games 3 and 4, putting the puck past Ilya Bryzgalov just twice in the two losses, so they'll push to make him sweat as quickly as possible. The Wild have won 21-of-26 games this season in which they led after the first period, but are just 6-for-27 in games they've trailed after the opening 20 minutes. Getting the opening goal -- and silencing the raucous Xcel Energy Center crowd -- is critical to Chicago's chances.
• Minnesota will stick with essentially the same lines they've rolled throughout: Nino Niederreiter-Mikko Koivu-Charlie Coyle; Zach Parise-Mikael Granlund-Jason Pominville; Matt Cooke-Erik Haula-Justin Fontaine; Dany Heatley-Kyle Brodziak-Cody McCormick.
•There will be two changes to the Wild's roster. Keith Ballard, who missed Game 5 after suffering a possible concussion in Game 4, steps back in on the third defense pair. Nate Prosser heads to the press box where he'll be joined by John Curry. Darcy Kuemper will back up Bryzgalov.
• Interesting decision by Wild coach Mike Yeo on dressing Kuemper. "It's been kind of coming about for the last couple days," he said. "It's tough between [Josh Harding] and Johnny Curry and Kuemps. Obviously we make sure that Bryz gets what he needs every morning, and we don't have a ton of quality practice time right now, so when you have three guys pretty much sharing one net, it's kind of difficult for any of those guys to get the workload that he needs. But [Kuemper] had a real good practice yesterday, he felt really good, so this has been coming for a couple of days. We're happy to have him back."
• No doubt they are. Kuemper is clearly a steadier presence in net than Bryzgalov, who has given up a couple of softies in this series (including two in Minnesota's Game 4 win). It does beg the question, though: If Kuemper is healthy enough to dress, why isn't he starting? The guess here is that Yeo doesn't want to throw him directly into the fire of an elimination game. Considering that Kuemper missed the first six matches of this series after being concussed early in Game 7 against Colorado, Yeo's caution makes good sense. There's also an argument to be made that Kuemper is more valuable coming out of the bullpen. If Bryzgalov falters -- and look for him to be on a very short leash with the season on the line -- you can imagine the emotional lift it would give Kuemper's teammates to see him skating into the crease.

'If you abide in Me … it shall be done for you.' John 15:7 NKJV
Have you spent weeks, months, or even years praying about something specific? Are you saying, 'Lord, I know what Your Word says, so why isn't it working for me?' In order to get the result you're praying for, you must be able to answer this question: Are you praying for God's will? Jesus said, 'If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.' (John 15:7 NKJV) The word 'abide' speaks of intimacy and close connection. It paints a picture of 'home', the place where you experience provision and nurture. When you have that kind of relationship with God, you'll know His heart and His desires so well that your will is going to line up with His will. And as a result you'll get what you ask for. Don't just assume that what you are praying for is in line with God's will. Instead test your prayer by applying the 'abiding principle'. Abiding brings spiritual maturity. And when you're spiritually mature you begin to pray differently. Your prayers aren't self-centred and self-seeking. The time you spend in the presence of the One you love most becomes more important to you than the end result you hope for. You don't mind waiting, because you realise God's timing is always perfect. And when He chooses to say 'no' to your request, you rejoice and say, 'Then You've something better in mind for me, and I trust You.' Have you reached that point yet in your walk with Him?

A few months ago I was asked by Grokker.com to be one of their experts on their website which features cooking and fitness videos. It seemed a perfect fit for me since I love food and yoga.

This boxer couldn't wait another doggone minute for her owner.
The Metro reports that Fern the boxer was upset at Graham Haddow for taking too long in an art gallery in Dundee, Scotland.
So the 18-month-old pup did what she thought was best: She laid on the horn for 15 minutes.
"I came out of the gallery and looked down the street about a hundred yards away and saw a crowd gathered around a car and heard a honking sound," Graham said, according to the Daily Star. "Then I did a double-take and realized that it was my car and I wondered if it was anything to do with the dog. She was sitting in there casually honking the horn."
Several onlookers snapped photos and took video of the scene.
"I heard it and thought it was an impatient driver," one video commenter wrote.
The Express reports that Fern's anger didn't subside when she saw Haddow returning.
"Usually when Fern sees me she stands up and gets excited with her tail wagging," Haddow said. "But this time she just gave me a sideways glance and kept on honking the horn."
It's worth mentioning that the car's front window appears to be rolled up, and it's hard to tell from the video if other windows were down. Could it be that poor Fern just wanted some air? All indications are she's doing fine now.

The Key Biscayne Community Foundation is holding its annual Aqua Party on March 12, 2016. This year's benefit will take place at Fairways on the Key and will begin at 7 p.m. The Aqua Party is one of the Foundation's biggest fundraising opportunities and is a highly anticipated event.
Support Us at This Year's Aqua Party
The Aqua Party is an excellent opportunity to support the Foundation's charitable efforts while enjoying a glamorous night out in a gorgeous setting. Many of our past and current donors attend and rub elbows with board members, community leaders, and professionals in a wide range of fields.
Past events have featured chef-prepared food, and a night of dancing and mingling under the stars. This is the party that everyone will be talking about in the months to come, and tickets are now available at the individual and table levels.
What Does the Foundation Do?
The Foundation is organized around the principle of empowering charitable-minded citizens to effect change in their community, their region, their nation and their world. Donors create a fund within the Foundation, and the gifts that are placed in that fund are then invested.
Donors are able to select the balance of stocks and bonds that best suits their investment goals and risk tolerance. From that point forward, the fund is professionally managed, giving donors the assurance that their investment will have the maximum level of charitable impact.
Grants that are made from a donor's fund will bear the donor's name. In addition, community members can also simply make a one-time donation to any of the Foundation's programs that they choose to support.
Who Benefits From Foundation Grants and Programs?
The Key Biscayne Community Foundation touches people from all walks of life in innumerable ways. Grants have helped to support art programs for children undergoing cancer treatment, provided disaster relief after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, and empowered elderly people to embrace healthy lifestyle choices.
Community partnerships have led to charitable programs in organizations that range from the Miami City Ballet to the Biscayne Bay Waterkeepers, Doctors Without Borders and to local elementary schools. Our team is always on the lookout for new opportunities to make a positive impact in the world, at both the local and global level.
Many Key Biscayne residents want to pursue philanthropic efforts but are unsure where to begin. The Aqua Party is a great opportunity to come out, meet new people, and learn more about the Key Biscayne Community Foundation and how to put one's charitable intentions into action.
The Foundation is supporting meaningful change in our community and our world, and there is no better time to get involved than right now.

Livonia, Michigan (PressExposure) January 10, 2008 -- The stateâs home foreclosure crisis is also among the highest with over 200,000 homes lost.

40 year old woman | Hartsdale, NY, United States | Seeking men 35-45 within 30 miles
Active within 3 days
Many people are looking for their "partner in crime". I prefer my crime sprees to be done solo! Lol (Kidding, of course.)
Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! I am fortunate enough to work in a preschool as an occupational therapist, so I get to laugh a lot at work - except during important meetings, during which I attempt to be professional. It's great to have a job that's both challenging and rewarding. Even though I've been living in Westchester for a long time, I grew up in Orange County (the one upstate, not the one in California) and I'm still close with my family. Even though the suburbs are nice, I always enjoy exploring the city to check out live music, shows, museums, etc. . I love finding interesting new places and I like to challenge myself and push beyond my comfort zone, trying new things. I've taken some cooking classes and would like do more of that. I'm happy to chill out with some friends at a bar, but not into places where you have to wait on line to get in. I love being active outdoors and especially taking walks and kayaking. I enjoy horseback riding as well. I'm a lifelong Yankee fan, but I'm always willing to check out a sporting event or watch your favorite teams with you. I also like to travel and am looking forward to doing that more often. I go to California fairly regularly to visit family, and I have also been to the Caribbean - Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and Aruba. I would love to explore Europe, especially France, Italy and Greece. I also would like to go to Australia one day. I'm looking for someone who has a good sense of humor (I'm pretty sarcastic) and can carry on interesting conversations. I'd like to meet someone who is intelligent and well educated. You are hopefully sincere, caring, generous, and respectful. I appreciate a man who is loyal and devoted to his family. And if you can cook, that's awesome since I love to eat :)
Alumni connections , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Dancing, Swimming, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Fish, Horses
I don't have any pets, but I grew up with dogs and I love animals in general (with the exception of snakes-not a fan)
I enjoy visiting California and the Caribbean. As far as NYC restaurants go, I like Havana Central, Penang, Pomodoro to name a few. In Westchester, I enjoy restaurants near the water like the Red Hat in Irvington.
State University of New York at Binghamton, Binghamton, NY
Foods- Italian, Mexican, Cuban, Asian. Love to eat seafood and steak. Music- 80's, 90's, singer/songwriter . Movies- Action/thrillers and comedies.
I enjoy taking walks/hikes, horsebackriding. Living in Westchester, I try to get into the city often to take advantage of everything that's there (dancing, museums, broadway, etc.) I really enjoy being active and trying new things.
Currently reading Hamilton, but I love mystery/thrillers and historical fiction.

Government agencies often need to acquire private property for public programs or projects. This kind of acquisition has long been recognized as a right of organized government and is known as "the power of eminent domain." However, our government cannot abuse this power. The Fifth Amendment of our Constitution states that private property shall not "be taken for public use, without just compensation." The Fourteenth Amendment provides comparable protection against abuse by State governments.

Chesterfield indie quartet TRASH have released their new single '81'.
The track is the second single taken from their self-titled EP, due out on August 11th.
Speaking of their new single, the band said: "When you're 81 and you've had no fun it's gonna be too late. Most of the songs on this EP are messages to myself. This message is simple: you're not gonna be around forever so make every second count. Please fulfil life, take a risk, have experiences, laugh a lot and try to worry as little as possible."
The new single comes ahead of the band's summer festival slots including Tramlines, Y Not and Neighbourhood Festival.

Preparations for the upcoming Copa America Centenario begin for the United States Men's National Team when they visit Puerto Rico for a friendly match this Sunday, May 22, 2016 (9:00 AM Pacific) at the Estadio Juan Ramon Loubriel. This game will be played by a USMNT alternate squad filled with many faces new to the first team.
The USA travels to Puerto Rico with the knowledge that they face a weak team who on paper is a huge underdog. Considering this, the result to the match will be the least important factor as coach Jurgen Klinsmann will use this friendly to adapt new faces into future call-ups.
There are five players who attended the USMNT camp this week, which include two from the Liga MX (Paul Arriola and Amando Moreno), and three from the German Busdeliga system (Fabrice Picault, Zach Steffen, and Caleb Stanko). From this group, two Arriola and Picault will be the most interesting to watch on Sunday due to their great speed and greater professional experience.
While many new faces will most likely participate in this match, other veteran players also form part of this USMNT roster. The most noteworthy names are Brad Guzan, Tim Howard, Geoff Cameron, DeAndre Yedlin, Alejandro Bedoya, and Fabian Johnson.
Where to Watch
The Puerto Rico vs USA friendly match will be broadcast at 9:00 AM Pacific:
Watch Live Online Stream: FuboTV
TV Schedule: Univision Deportes

Google Android Is Hiring, Now What?
Google plans to add dozens of new hires to support Android OS in what appears to be a strong indication that maybe, just maybe, we'll all see major improvements in the Android Market.
Apple's App Store has existed for only three months longer than the Android Market, so it doesn't explain the huge discrepancy in numbers: the App Store topped 300,000 mobile apps, recently hit 10 billion downloads, and made billions in 2010 alone. Android Market, on the other hand, has almost 130,000 apps, and Google doesn't release official statistics on the number of developers, users, or revenue.
Problems going to Market
Android already has the fastest-growing user base in the world, but so far the Android Market has struggled against the App Store. This is for several reasons: For users, it's hard to find an Android app that is as good as its iOS counterpart, if you can find the Android version at all (Netflix is a sore reminder). Even for a basic app like Facebook Mobile, the Android version lacks push notifications and chat.
The app developers, meanwhile, still don't have enough financial incentive yet. The OS has been plagued with multiple devices and unsynchronized upgrades (aka "fragmentation"), reports of malware, and
"Google needs to think more about how users are searching for and buying apps. And they need to think about what developers need to build the apps," says Walter Luh, CEO of Ansca Mobile and a former software engineer for Apple.
Signs of change?
This month Google showed three signs that it is serious about the Android Market.
First of all Google lists at least 64 open positions in the United States for Android-related functions, according to its job portal. Sources told the Wall Street Journal's Google is even training and re-allocating employees to build native apps, such as the location-based SkyMap. While most positions are for software engineers, we found a couple telling job titles like "Android Developer Advocate."
Secondly, last week AllThingsD reported that Google poached Osama Bedier, Paypal's former VP of platform and global payments. Presumably he is working on re-building Google's unpopular Google Checkout payment platform and fortifying ties with carriers, so users will be able to get bills on their phone bill. Google's payment platform may have serious problems, but that only provides Bedier with plenty of opportunities to shake things up.
And thirdly, last week Android Content Manager Eric Chu admitted he was "not happy" with Android. He told a conference audience to expect a better billing system and in-app payment solution "soon."
Biggest developer gripes
Sure, things may be poised to change, but Android still has a lot to prove to loyal iOS developers.
Fragmentation, for one, makes Android software development very, very expensive.
"If you're just a small guy developing apps, for Apple you only have to buy a few devices to test your apps," says Luh. "For Android it's overwhelming. Porting to different screen sizes and devices is tedious and costly too.
I think Android's trying to get the API caught up, but the toolset is just not as seamless," Luh adds. "On the iPhone I can just plug it in and debug the phone instantly. On Android, if I wanted to debug native code, which is what game programmers want, it's much harder."
Android sort of shot itself in the foot with its openness. "From a pure technology standpoint, open is great. But from a user standpoint, it depends. You do need some level of software-hardware integration, and Google needs to raise the requirement from OEMs to make things more consistent. There's a reason why Microsoft Windows Phone 7 is moving in a direction that's more Apple than Android."
Still, developers may be willing to foot the costs of dealing with such "fragmentation"—if the revenues were high enough. But Google has yet to introduce a reliable and comprehensive payment platform.
In Appcelerator/IDC's recent Mobile Developer Report, developers, led by Zynga's Farmville, appeared to be shifting away from "free brand affinity apps" (those quick-and-dirty 99-cent apps) and into a different model, where users pay to access more features within an app.
"Inevitably, in-app payments will surpass direct app store sales, hard to say when but in the next 1-2 years certainly," says Scott Schwarzhoff, VP of marketing at Appcelerator.
In other words, it's less about being the "top free app" or earning $0.99 for each sale, and more about apps that are "more social, local, cloud-connected in nature," he says. Fortunately for Google, tese are things Google is already attuned to, Scharzhoff acknowledges.
Android will get there in time, Lugh predicts, but for now they are platform noobs. "Google at their core understands advertising, they understand the Web, the backend stuff," he says. "But developing platforms is relatively new to them.
Separately, Google is planning to launch tablet-ready Android 3.0, aka "Honeycomb," at an event at its headquarters tomorrow. When it comes to ironing out the kinks, can Google prove that third time's the charm?

I thought I would share some around the school room pics from our LAST WEEK of school!!!
About Danielle Huddleston Photography:
I am a wife, homeschool mom, a hiker, and a photographer living in Oklahoma. I love beautiful light and being in the woods. I share what I love on this blog, be they trails, pictures, or homschooling curriculum. Thanks for stopping by!
My boys and I headed to the Oklahoma History Center earlier this week while my husband was out of town.
I figured I should just keep them going the whole time he was gone to get all that little boy energy out.
It worked in draining energy.
On me…
The building is very impressive.
I liked that they had touchable areas for kids!
They had a little mock set of "OKLAHOMA"! My boys loved it!
They got dressed up, went up there and sang the song.
There is a tv they can see themselves on while singing also.
They really like touch screens!
I made sure I got myself in a shot.
My youngest is really into crazy posing right now.
We really liked the oil derricks that you could walk right up to.
They are so big!
We had a great time!
This was not our only stop though, we went to the OKC Zoo next!
It was a LONG day!
I will share pics of that later.
Have you ever been to the History Center in OKC?
I did not even know it was there until recently!

A big vote is coming up here on June 12 and 13 as a nationwide referendum is being held on nuclear power and the privatization of public water supplies, among other issues. There have been huge campaigns out, mostly those in favor of the "Yes" vote, which would stop nuclear power from being revived in Italy and keep the water supply public. I admired the ingenuity of this person, who posted information about Japan's nuclear troubles and urged others to follow suit and take action in informing the public about the risks.
PS. Of course our pal Berlusconi tried to stop the vote from happening, but courts ruled that the vote would go forward.

ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia's season is obviously not over, as we'll learn the 8-4 Bulldogs' postseason fate sometime within the next week. But Saturday's double-overtime win against Georgia Tech put an exclamation point on easily the craziest regular season in Mark Richt's 13 seasons as Georgia's coach.
Let's look back over the season and recap some of the highs and lows:
What might have been: There is not a single game this season where the Bulldogs did not play without at least one key player -- and by the Tech game, the injured list featured an all-star team of talent. Considering how receivers Malcolm Mitchell and Justin-Scott Wesley and tailback Keith Marshall suffered season-ending knee injuries before the midway point, quarterback Aaron Murray will miss the final two games with an ACL injury and that tailback Todd Gurley, receivers Chris Conley and Michael Bennett and tight end Jay Rome all dealt with multiple-game setbacks, it's a wonder that Georgia didn't go into a steeper tailspin than it did.
MVP: This has to go to Murray, who broke multiple SEC career passing records as a senior. The Kentucky game started out as a senior-night tribute to the four-year starter, only to see it end in heartbreak when he suffered the knee injury in the second quarter that ended his season. He returned for his senior season to win a championship, although injuries and a shaky defense prevented Murray from reaching that goal. Nonetheless, his leadership prevented what could have become a major mess when many of Georgia's best offensive skill players were missing in the middle of the season.
Wildest finish: There's no shortage of competition in this category, as Saturday's Tech game was only the most recent Georgia game that was decided in the closing moments. That's what happens when seven of your 12 games are decided by a touchdown or less. But the winner here has to be the Auburn game, when the Bulldogs rallied from a 20-point, fourth-quarter deficit to take a 38-37 lead on Murray's fourth-down touchdown scramble with 1:49 remaining. Murray's heroics were for naught, however, as Nick Marshall hit Ricardo Louis on a deflected 73-yard touchdown pass with 25 seconds remaining, after the pass somehow slipped through Georgia's Josh Harvey-Clemons and Tray Matthews.
Surprise performer: Ramik Wilson. He was certainly not perfect -- particularly in pass coverage -- but Wilson became the SEC's tackles leader by playing nearly every important down and always hustling to the ball. He didn't make much of an impact in his first two seasons while rotating between inside and outside linebacker, but Wilson was a valuable contributor in leading the team with 128 tackles and tying with Jordan Jenkins for the team lead with 11 tackles for loss. He also made one of the Bulldogs' biggest defensive plays of the season when he deflected a Vad Lee pass in the second overtime against Georgia Tech, enabling Damian Swann to knock the ball away for the game-ending incompletion.
Worst defeat: The Auburn loss might have been more painful, but the 31-27 defeat at Vanderbilt was more avoidable. The Commodores outscored Georgia 17-0 in the fourth quarter -- a comeback expedited by a targeting flag on a fourth-quarter pass breakup by Wilson. The penalty was overturned upon review, but it still resulted in a first down and a 15-yard mark-off down to Georgia's 15-yard line, and eventually a Vandy touchdown. Georgia's ineptitude also contributed to the implosion -- including costly turnovers and an overall lack of aggression on offense -- which made it a particularly galling defeat.
Star in the making: Hutson Mason. Several players could figure in here -- Scott-Wesley, outside linebacker Leonard Floyd and safety Harvey-Clemons immediately come to mind -- but this will almost certainly be Mason's team next season. He overcame a shaky start against Tech to lead the Bulldogs back to an overtime win by completing 22 of 36 passes for 299 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Let's keep in mind that it was the first start of his career, on the road, against arguably Georgia's biggest rival.
Biggest disappointment: We all knew the score when the season started. Georgia's defense lost almost every significant player from last season, minus defensive lineman Garrison Smith, inside linebacker Amarlo Herrera, outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins and cornerback Swann. A reasonable expectation was for the group to struggle against a challenging early schedule and make rapid improvements as the season progressed. Only that improvement never truly occurred with any consistency. Georgia's defense is better off now than it was when the season started, but there is too much talent on that side of the ball for the Bulldogs to keep making the bone-headed mistakes that plagued them for too much of the season.
Biggest relief: The overtime win against Tennessee kept the Bulldogs in the top 10 for another week, but the rally from an early 20-0 deficit against Georgia Tech will likely be the one more Georgia fans remember. Richt has dominated the Yellow Jackets throughout his tenure, but things didn't look promising when Lee was picking apart Georgia's secondary and Mason and the offense were struggling. A second-quarter touchdown drive helped them to settle down, and they went on to deliver an emotional comeback victory.
Best performance: Gurley's four-touchdown performance against Tech (or his early touchdowns against Florida in his return from a month-long absence) would certainly qualify here. But let's go with one of two showings -- and you can't lose with either one -- by Murray against South Carolina or LSU. Murray faced consistent attacks that he shrunk in the spotlight during his early years, but he largely eliminated those criticisms this season. He was nearly perfect against South Carolina, ending the Gamecocks' three-game series winning streak by going 17-for-23 for 309 yards and four touchdowns. Two games later, he went 20-for-34 for four touchdowns and one interception, plus a rushing score, against LSU and hit Scott-Wesley with the game-winning 25-yard touchdown pass with 1:47 remaining.

Having a healthy body before, during and after pregnancy is extremely important. I never quite understood completely the importance of taking care of my body until I was pregnant with my first child. Thankfully, I was always healthy and exercised, but probably wasn't doing everything I could have done for my body to thrive. I am now more educated on this topic and make sure that I am giving my body the vital nutrients it needs to perform.
I am currently breast feeding and thought this would be a great opportunity to try Premama Complete. I don't necessarily have a hard time swallowing pills, but I know many women who do and this product is great for those who just can't swallow pills.
Breastfeeding takes a lot of important nutrients from your body to make milk for your baby, so I was excited to receive a box, along with a bottle of water to try Premama Complete's new powdered prenatal vitamin mix drink with DHA.
The box I received came with 28 packages and in an orange flavor. I really enjoy the small packages because they are very easy to take with me wherever I go. Normally I would put my prenatals in a small ziplock for trips or when I am not able to grab one in the morning, so having the on-the-go packages has been very handy.
Purchase It!
Premama is now available at Target Stores and Target.com
Enter to win a month's supply of Premama Complete and don't forget to follow Premama on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram, too!

The south. Oozing with humidity; that thick moist air that hangs on your body like a sticky film. I love visiting it. Glad I live in the west. The Wormsloe plantations "driveway" has that wet, humid feel to it. It runs for over a mile and is lined with 100+ year old oak trees covered with spanish moss. Of course we drove it with a car. I could imagine riding a horse along here; slowly, in the fading light, with the crickets and the humidity doing their thing.

Ang Lee's latest film, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, debuted without any technical snafus at its world premiere on Friday night, screening at a specially equipped AMC Loews Lincoln Square theater in its intended format: in 4K, native 3D and at the ultra-high rate of 120 frames per second.
The screening was the film's first for both the cast and the public - and Lee's first with an audience. "I'm nervous - I feel exposed by the high frame rate, 3D, high-resolution camera," the director joked to the audience beforehand.
That camera left no room for error from the cast. "When you're shooting in the way that we always do, there are certain things that people don't see. I'll finish a take on any other movie and I'll want to do it again, they'll tell me, 'No, it was great,' and I'll say, 'No, trust me, I was lying,' " Kristen Stewart told The Hollywood Reporter on the red carpet. "On this, there's no room for that. You see everything. It had to be raw and real. I thought it was awesome, it was so cool - I was like, 'Push me harder!' "

Garrett Hedlund recalled, "[Lee] told us all at the beginning, 'If you try to act, you're gonna look like you're acting because the resolution is so high. You can't act; you just have to be.' He just wanted everybody to be natural." Added Ismael Cruz Cordova, "He asked for a higher level of experiencing the character - he said, 'There's acting, there's 3D acting and then there's this acting.' "
Afterward, Lee asked attendees for feedback and further expanded on his filmmaking process. "I don't have a monitor that shows even close to [the intended format], so it was a lot of guessing," he explained. "It's scary, sometimes I feel like I don't know how to make movies."
But alongside fellow castmembers Chris Tucker, Steve Martin, Makenzie Leigh and newcomer Joe Alwyn, Vin Diesel reassured, "Seeing the movie is such a heavy experience. The nuances in the movie, the proposed message in the movie is kind of heavy. After you saw the credits, everyone was like a deer in headlights. … [It] takes you a place you don't expect to go in a war picture, and to have a war picture simplified in a statement of love is a testament to what Ang has done."
Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk hits theaters Nov. 11.

This app is a collection of music to play during and after pregnancy. Included in this collection are several Baroque songs and smooth, easy listening songs.
Studies have shown that, not only drugs, alcohol, smoking and diet, but also strong emotions and thoughts effect pregnant women leaving a lasting imprint on the child. Therefore active parenting starts while the baby is still developing in the womb and at the moment of conception, whether we are conscious of it or not.
Music is most suitable for the task of nurturing the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual development of the unborn baby. The extraordinary benefits of music during pregnancy have been documented over the last two decades, due to a period of tremendous scientific advancement in the understanding of life in the womb and after birth. The baby before birth is a hearing, feeling, and sensing being.
The choice of music is paramount during pregnancy Songs have soothed colicky and fretful babies. The sense of familiarity will convey a sense of emotional comfort, as lullabies will bring back pleasant memories of life experienced in the nurturing womb. Research has shown that babies develop prenatal memories. The songs and music that is heard frequently before birth will be recognized after birth.
Ultrasound has shown how babies react to music within the confined space of the womb. Studies have further shown that babies prefer classical and baroque music. Baroque music closely resembles the mother's heartbeat at rest. Optimally, music selected for pregnancy needs repetition at regular intervals becoming a natural and joyful addition to everyday life. When music brings pleasure and enjoyment to the parents, these emotional qualities will also be communicated to the baby.
Music enhances prenatal bonding. One of the most intimate and pleasurable events experienced by the baby in the womb is his mother's singing. It is also one of the first dialogues exchanged between mother and child. Songs that communicate love, acceptance, and welcome are most reassuring to the baby. This is a two way process whereby the mother and child form a close attachment, developing trust, a feeling of safety, and a sense of belonging. All other relationships will build on the quality of this first exchange. If we are nurtured lovingly with respect and consistency, then we will most likely treat others in the same manner.
Even though our lives might be stressful, what matters most is the way the mother thinks and feels about her developing baby, her fears and hopes. Hence, the mother's thoughts and feelings provide the material out of which the child creates his personality. We are not referring to passing fears and difficulties of daily life, rather the underlying, and recurring negative thoughts and emotions. Music also contributes in this context, as our values regarding life will be communicated by the choice of lyrics and genre. It will impact us through the vibrational field created by the sound and the feelings they evoke either as harmonious or dissonant.
PLEASE NOTE: The content in the Prenatal Tunes app is publicly available on YouTube. We have not created it or modified it in any way, nor have we uploaded any of these videos to YouTube. The value of this app is that it provides you easy access directly to certain types YouTube videos all in one handy place, and saves you the work of having to do it yourself.

Aid project Greece
In the port city of Piraeus near Athens, LR Global Kids Fund supports orphans who can no longer live with their families due to various problems. The children often are victims of violence and neglect.
"Children's Home" offers all-round care for ten boys aged six to 18. The local team supports the children in all matters of daily life and prepares them for living on their own by catering to their individual needs. With the help of dedicated volunteers, the children are not only cared for but also strengthened in their development. After school, the institution offers homework supervision and various leisure activities for the young fosterlings.
The children's aid project relies on financial support through donations. In 2015, LR Global Kids Fund sponsors a share of the costs for clothing and medical support of the boys as well as a social worker position.

"Cardio freaks" were often on the triathlon team in college. These heart-rate-monitor wearing, leg-shaving guys and gals get their high from breathing hard and harder. Drugs of choice include road bikes with impossibly skinny tires, any running race with a "K" on the end, and little itty-bitty skinny skate-skis. Often eschewing motorized travel in favor of their own two legs, this rare breed of mammal appears to actually enjoy discomfort and is loathe to long days on the couch.
"Adrenaline junkies" breathe hard for one reason- it gets us somewhere cool. We skin up the mountain ridge because we get to ski untracked snow on the way down. We peddle up the gigantic hill because the single track on the other side is oh-so-sweet. In truth, I have the most fun mountain biking when I'm on the edge of crashing. I know there is a science behind all of this, but I've experimented enough on myself to know that I respond very favorable to adrenaline. It's either my chemistry or practice, but in an emergency situation such as swimming Class V whitewater (read: very, very big swirly water), I am calm. Sound is suppressed and I have the mental space to think through my current situation and respond accordingly. The trick is not getting addicted to my calm (or finding other ways to access it), like Dean Potter in this photo.
There are some athletes who take the adrenaline too far, most of which I have encountered in the climbing community. Often running from a divorce, death or other significant life event, these athletes become addicted to the singular focus that high-intensity athletic endeavors demand. When life is quite literally on the line (pun intended), there is no space in ones mind for the nasty breakup last month, unpaid bills or where dinner is going to come from. Body and mind have a singular purpose, and that is perpetuating life. As athletic skill increases, these situations must get more severe to have the same consequence, hence Mr. Potter slack-lining (tight-rope walking), leashless high above the Yosemite valley floor. As with everything in life, moderation would appear to be key once again.
Word of the Day: Flibbertigibbet – a silly, flighty, or excessively talkative person. Use it in a sentence.

Rick S.wrote a review of Castelli Cross Prerace Jacket on March 9, 2017
Runs Smaller than all other Castelli pro
Nice looking jacket that is ONLY for riding. I purchased an XL which is what I wear for Castelli jerseys. It was too small and I'm ordering an XXL. The fit it not only form fit, it is form fit specifically to RIDING position. Don't buy this for a walk around town jacket. It's not gonna feel good unless you are bent over the bike.

Time to pay up
Up until Tuesday, the start of the new academic year for some students was in peril after the Student Revolving Loan Fund (SRLF) turned down their applications for assistance.
It was not a mean-spirited act on the part of the officers of the SRLF, neither were the students at fault; there was simply no money to give.
But thanks to Government's timely intervention in this year's Financial Statement and Budgetary Proposals of an immediate $5 million injection to the Fund, the students have been rescued.
On this occasion, Government deserves applause, but the fact is we are here yet again and we should not be.
Downright indifference, and dishonesty in some cases, have brought us once more to a bankrupt SRLF, which is owed some $30 million by defaulters.
The scheme was set up under the Student Revolving Loan Fund Act 1976-20 to replace the Higher Education Loan Fund. Its main purpose is to provide loans to eligible Barbadians to assist in financing study, including various academic, technical and vocational programmes.
Thousands upon thousands have benefitted from its largesse to improve their lives. But then thousands more conveniently forget to repay money urgently needed to pave the way for other Barbadians who require similar help to take forward their education.
We accept that some among us are finding it hard to cope, thanks to the prolonged economic slowdown.
We concede that sometimes life can take us on a different road and there are factors beyond our control.
But even this group has the responsibility of renegotiating a comfortable arrangement with the Fund. To leave it to chance or, worse yet, to hide is, frankly, deceitful.
At the same time, there are some truant borrowers who, despite having the capability to repay the money, simply do not.
Yet many buy a car, purchase a home and land and even travel for holidays, continuing their upward climb without looking back.
Too many of us treat the SRLF like we treat our garbage – it's somebody else's responsibility to clean up our mess. Thankfully, a national clean up has been announced. We hope it's not the last and pray that all hands will be on deck to not only tidy up but also recommit to keeping our fair land clean.
But let us not digress.
The failure of borrowers to keep their end of the bargain to repay the SRLF is out of hand and urgent action is needed to rein in the situation. It is unconscionable to expect the Government to take up taxpayers' dollars to bail out the scheme each and every time.
Delinquent borrowers must not be allowed to think they can continue to evade the lender and flout the law and expect Government to take up the slack, particularly while they are enjoying the fruits of higher education, including a better salary.
Last week, Minister of Education Ronald Jones made an impassioned plea for debtors to pay up.
Said Jones, "There is a simple principle – he who borrows should repay, especially in a loan revolving fund. You can't keep looking for new money to bring in all the time when the fund should be revolving."
Failure to pay debts has far-reaching consequences for the entire society. Scarce resources that are needed to fund other social programmes often have to be diverted.
Negligent borrowers are also unfairly endowing guarantors, who were merely acting in their interest, with a mountain of debt.
We assert that the SRLF must strengthen its capacity to recoup what it is rightfully owed. Hardly ever are defaulters taken before the law court. Maybe the time has come for authorities to name and shame shirkers, whether they be doctor, lawyer, teacher, bank manager or farmer.

According to today's Michigan Daily, "Michigan held a 40-yard dash sprint race among teammates... junior Martavious Odoms won the faster heat, barely beating Robinson." surely this is a typo? Either way I am excited to see all that speed on the field this fall.
(I'm on an iPhone, otherwise I would link the article. "Spring Practice Begins, Rodriguez Talks QB's" in the notes section)
