I absolutely agree that you don't need much planning to start writing, but if you're trying to do the epic story thing with many characters and a traditional plot, it helps to have basic structure thought out beforehand. Just to keep things consistent and reduce the number of big corrections that have to be done later in the name of continuity. Planning is a tool just like anything else - you most likely don't have to go Tolkien about it. What you said about "finishing it" is spot on! Also, the "why should I care" -tip is priceless. It should be on every writer's wall.Metruis wrote:I will argue vehemently with anyone who tells me the only good way to write is by planning, outlining, or writing huge panels of background on everything and anything before starting to write.
No, the people who claim that--you guys--you might be right for you but there's aproximately a 50/50 split between the writers who plan and the writers who don't.
By the way, how did you calculate that it's a 50/50 split? It seems like a difficult thing to research.
Stephen King was mentioned earlier as an example of a writer who does not plan ahead of writing. He doesn't - for the preliminary draft. Which he then goes over and over again. Although, you could argue that he has already done the legwork - he usually places his stories in the same small town and uses similar characters. So he has a firm base to build on without doing any additional research. Also, he writes a lot more than he publishes. There are bound to be a lot of misses with any kind of writing style. That's nothing to be afraid of.
For many who are just beginning to write not having to plan ahead will seem like a more comfortable approach. It's not easier. You still need to go over it afterwards many times to make it work properly. If there are those who are able to write a good story the first time around without research or planning, you should absolutely be working for some branch of the writing industry because you will save producers millions. What I would suggest for beginners is to start with short stories, analyze them after they are finished and then to gradually move to longer stories. It's like practising for the marathon.
Many people have also suggested to let your characters write for you. In my opinion that's good advice as long as they write on the micro-level and mostly their own reactions. I wouldn't let your characters write the whole storyline. That's closer to a RPG. Of course, if your audience goes for that, why not. But I think the larger audience would find RPG-like plots too chaotic and illogical. I do think it's a good idea to let your characters vent and go to the extreme in their reactions. You don't have to include it in the final story but it's a good way to find their limits.
These are tools for planning (I apologize if someone already posted these):
1. The story needs to be acceptable by the audience in three categories: The ethic, the aesthetic and the logical. You don't need to try to please your audience too much, but it's helpful to know their limits.
2. Think about the setting: what is the contradiction, what is the conflict
3. The same for the characters
4. Describe the story in one or two sentences. Does it sound interesting?
These also work if you have to get back to the core of the story you are writing. It's useful to periodically take a figurative step back and think about what you originally wanted the story to say.
Basically, what I'm saying is that dramaturgy and pre-planning in general is a set of tools. Use them or not, the result is always up to you. I learned the hard way with the strip I'm now publishing - had to redo almost 50 finished strips and cut 30 to make the story work. NOT nice when one strip takes 1-2 days to complete

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a break with tea party-aligned Senate conservatives, Republican leader Mitch McConnell announced Monday he will not vote to block legislation aimed at preventing a partial government shutdown, even though Democrats intend to rewrite it to restore funds needed to keep the nation's three-year-old health care law in existence.
Referring to a bill the House passed last week, McConnell's spokesman said the Kentucky lawmaker supports the measure "and will not vote to block it, since it defunds Obamacare and funds the government without increasing spending by a penny."
The spokesman, Don Stewart, added that McConnell will vote against any Democratic attempt to restore funding for the health care law.
The announcement came shortly after Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said that anyone who votes to let the bill advance toward final passage will be choosing to allow the Democrats to restore the health care money by majority vote, one they will almost certainly win. "I think that vote disserves our constituents," he said.
With his announcement, McConnell put himself firmly in the camp of Republicans who are adamantly opposed to any partial government shutdown, no matter the other stakes involved.
A short time later, Sen. John Cornyn, like Cruz a Texan, and second ranking in the leadership, also announced he would not seek to block the legislation. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., took the same position in comments to reporters. "How can I vote against a bill that I support?" he asked rhetorically.
Democrats control 54 Senate votes, meaning they need six crossover Republicans to assure the spending bill does not fall victim to a filibuster that would doom its prospects. The announcements by McConnell and McCain likely indicate they will have no difficulty in gaining the support they need.
Cruz said last week he was prepared to filibuster any legislation that restores money for the health care law, even if it meant a shutdown. In remarks on the Senate floor during the day, though, he appeared to soften his tone.
"We should not have a government shutdown and we should never, ever, ever even discuss a default on the debt," he said. The House is expected to approve legislation this week that permits the Treasury to borrow freely for a year — preventing a first-ever default — while delaying the health care law for a year.
Earlier in the day, Cruz' battle to deny funding for the nation's three-year-old health care law got off to a shaky start when he first blocked action on unrelated items on the agenda, then quickly backed off.
"There will be time" later in the week to debate the health care issue, he told reporters as he left the Senate floor.
At the same time, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., arranged for an initial test vote Wednesday on House passed-legislation that would avoid a partial government shutdown on Oct. 1 while simultaneously canceling funding for the health care law.
A second key vote is set for later in the week as Democrats seek to keep the health care law intact and Cruz and other Republicans resist.
It was unclear why Cruz objected when Reid sought confirmation for four presidential appointees during the day, the kind that are routinely approved without votes in the Senate. Nor did he say why he changed his mind less than an hour later to permit confirmation. The four included two appointments to the Federal Election Commission, one Democrat and one Republican, a member of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, and a State Department nominee.
In between, Reid said he has the votes to prevail on the health care issue.
"Any bill that defunds Obama and his health care law is dead on arrival in the Senate," he said.
For its part, the Obama administration spent the day warning of dire consequences unless Congress approves funding beyond the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Medicare beneficiaries could lose their fully-paid annual wellness doctor's visit if funding is cut off, prescription drug costs could rise, and millions of seniors who are enrolled in private Medicare coverage might be required to switch to the traditional fee-for-service coverage to continue receiving health care.
Sebelius also said federal funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program would end on Oct. 1, some Medicaid recipients would lose coverage and Indian health programs would also be affected.

In a short hour and a half, made up of minute responses and thirty second followups, the GOP candidates once again took the stage to answer questions from semi-respectful moderators. In a debate most looked forward to by Ron Paul fans, Paul received very little time. We have seen pretty much all there is to be seen about candidate style, and many of these questions were repeats. So here are the winners and losers:
The Good
Mitt Romney won this debate. His answers were calming, yet clear and determined. He portrayed the very stature Americans are looking for in a Commander in Chief, and he highlighted American Exceptionalism. This area is a strong suit for Mitt, and one that does not involve any sort of past flip flops or policy changes. His answers should give him a bump among social conservatives who are inspired by terms like American Exceptionalism.
Newt at one point had to school the moderators on war versus criminal law. In some ways this debate seemed frustrating for Newt, but that is an aspect of him his followers often like to see. Newt brings the fight to the moderators and to the left and usually wins. Many of his answers were right on, but others were somewhat vague. One thing that Newt will lose points for is how loosely he called for covert operations in countries like Iran and Syria. This is something Newt has brought up as a policy in debates and speeches in the past, but is something better left unsaid.
Jon Huntsman did well in the debate. The question on a tradewar with China is a favorite of most media moderators because it gives them a chance to toss Huntsman an easy softball. Foreign policy hits many of Huntsman's strong points without touching many of the issues that conservatives hate him for. It won't matter though, Huntsman is done.
The Bad
Santorum did pretty well. He has the unfortunate bad luck of being a candidate on the back end of two long wars and sharing a policy that sounds eerily like Bush's. On the other hand, Santorum seemed to be saying that we need to keep funding Pakistan and being their friend because they have a Nuke. True or not, Santorum is not going to win American hearts saying implying that we must borrow from China to pay off Pakistan to be our friend.
I have a feeling that media moderators purposefully cut Paul's debate time short on debates like this to get his supporters riled up. Get ready, we are going to hear about that for the next week or so. Paul didn't do bad for most of the debate, but some of his stances are really not correct. The idea that the United States must capture a citizen who has declared war on the United States and bring them in to face civilian court, or that non-uniformed terrorists have any sort of rights under US law is wrong and violates precedent. Gingrich and Perry were absolutely right on those counts. Paul's supporters were being their typical selves in the debate as well, to the point where the mods had to admonish them to be respectful. They are another liability of Paul's with the overall GOP.
Herman Cain reminded me a lot of Rick Perry in recent debates. Without 9-9-9 to fall back on, Cain was slow in responses, vague, and seemed as though he would happily defer to a future self, surrounded by knowledgeable generals and advisers. That's great, but that is not leadership. In that respect, Huntsman showed up Cain, and even Gingrich, when he said if a nuke was loose in Pakistan he would secure it. Cain really did not give a performance that screamed "I am a leader". Instead, each response sounded like "How can I answer this without ruining my campaign".
The Ugly
Michele Bachmann continues to be unimpressive and unmemorable. She scored some points rebutting Ron Paul, but seemed to spend most of the night trying to get the moderators to let her respond to other candidates. She also seemed to get less time. However, I will give her a great deal of credit for her answers on ways to trim military spending without hurting the military.
Rick Perry still doesn't debate well. And once again he found himself as the butt of several jokes, made both by the moderators, himself, and Senator Graham. Perry's idea of zero based budgeting for foreign aide is a great idea, but the only reason it's his is because he got to say it first. Gingrich and Romeny both articulated it better when Perry was done.
But allow me a Newt Gingrich moment to say this. The real loser was Barack Obama. The candidates made it clear, once again, that every single one of them would run foreign policy better than Obama. Several drove home the point that Obama had a range of good choices and bad choices and made all the bad ones and none of the good ones. The only ambivalent candidate who actually seemed to end up on Obama's side for some things was Ron Paul. This is one of the aspects of Newt Gingrich's leadership because he has focused these debates on defeating Barack Obama, and when Newt sets the tone the other candidates usually follow.

Chandeliers from France, a stained-glass door, 100-year-old plank floors and a Spanish-marble mantel are but a few highlights awaiting visitors to the 34th annual Clifton Community Woman's Club Homes Tour.
"We have four outstanding homes, including the home of the president of George Mason University," said homes-tour chairman Pat Riedinger. "We also have a number of fine vendors at our boutiques, wonderful items at the silent auction and a fabulous art show."
The tour takes place Thursday, May 18, from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Two of the houses open to the public are in Clifton, one is in Fairfax Station and one is in Fairfax. Also on display will be the Clifton Primitive Baptist Church — the oldest African-American church in Fairfax County.
However, the fun begins the day before, Wednesday, May 17, from 5-8 p.m., with a boutique, silent auction, book sale and local women's art show and sale. They'll also be open on tour day, with the art show closing at 4:30 p.m. and the silent auction ending at 5 p.m. Several Clifton stores will be open that Wednesday, from 5-8 p.m. and will also welcome customers on Thursday.
IN ADDITION, Clifton's two restaurants, the Heart in Hand and the Hermitage Inn, both on Main Street, will be serving lunch the day of the tour from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Reservations are suggested and may be made by calling: Heart in Hand, 703-830-4111; or the Hermitage, 703-266-1623. The Clifton Store will offer boxed lunches, soup and sandwiches until 2 p.m.
Tickets for the event are $15 in advance and $20 on tour day. They may be purchased in the Town of Clifton at Baskets & Boughs, Willow Antiques, Cottage Art, The Clifton Store and Ann's Boutique. They're also for sale at Temptations in the Colonnade at Union Mill shopping center and at Judy Ryan in the Twinbrook Shopping Center in Fairfax. Tickets will available, as well, in the homes on tour. Call 703-830-3705 or 703-830-3418.
The woman's club sponsors the homes tour and is its the annual fund raiser to benefit local charities and scholarships. Net proceeds go to the club's charitable-trust fund to be distributed later in the year. Four scholarships are presented. One goes to a student who'll attend NOVA, and the other three go to GMU students. One of the GMU scholarships is for performing arts, one is a general scholarship and the third is given to a graduate student in education.
Donations are given to the Fairfax Station Railroad Museum and to entities such as Fairfax County's Area Agency on Aging and the Bethany House shelter. "Last year, we donated to Friends of Burke Library," said Riedinger. "And in the past, we've contributed to the Fairfax Symphony's education fund and to Camp Easter Seals."
THE BOUTIQUE, silent auction and book sale will take place in the Clifton Town Meeting Hall at 12641 Chapel Road. At the boutique, visitors may browse through a wide array of linens, jewelry, accessories, country-garden art, chocolates, throws, handbags and books.
The silent auction is in the same location and features items including Washington Redskins tickets, gift certificates to restaurants; theme gift baskets and services and merchandise donated by local merchants. Among the prizes auctioned off last year were Redskins box-seat tickets, theater and performing-arts tickets, lodging at The Inn at Gristmill Square and gift certificates for salons and day spas, garden nurseries, jewelry stores and restaurants.
The art show will be in the conservatory room of the Hermitage Inn and will feature a variety of styles and subjects. Club president Betty Bosanko is chairman of the art show, and all pieces are framed and ready to hang.
This year's homes-tour sponsors are Cottage Arts, Eminence Jewelers, Friends of Tim Hugo, George Mason Mortgage, Judy Ryan of Fairfax, Patio Enclosures, Peter Market Inc., Regal Dry Cleaners, RulyScapes and Wolf Run Realty.
The event usually attracts 700-800 people, and Riedinger says this year's homes tour should be no exception. "It's a wonderful outing and a chance to be with friends, do something exciting and get some good decorating ideas," she explained. "It should really be great. We're all looking forward to it and we hope the public is, too."
The homes on tour are as follows:
<sh>Merten Home
<bt>Called the Mathy House, this brick Colonial is home to GMU President Alan Merten and his wife Sally. Built in 1964 on Popes Head Road in Fairfax, it features two-story exterior columns and a spectacular, two-story foyer.
Italian marble accentuates the floor and many of the fireplaces, and chandeliers from Belgium, Ireland, France and Spain may be found throughout the house. Visitors will also see a bust of George Mason, photographs from the Lyndon Johnson White House and other treasures of the American heritage.
<sh>Wark Home
<bt>Bill and Lynne Garvey Wark live in the Canary Cottage on Clifton's Main Street. It was built in 1884 and now is also a bed-and-breakfast. Artist Lynne has decorated it in tones of peach, coral, yellow, blue, mint-green and white. Don't miss the 400-piece collection of snails, as well as the stained-glass door from the original Clifton Inn. There's even a claw-foot bathtub from the Willard Hotel and a gazebo in the yard.
<sh>Presta Home
<bt>The home of Frank and Mary Presta on Redlac Drive in Fairfax Station is a showpiece of Colonial craftsmanship. The wide-plank, pine floors are a century old, and colors in this house are in shades of sage, blue and red. The recently remodeled kitchen/family room boasts cherry cabinets, granite counters and a beamed ceiling with hanging baskets.
<sh>Blades Home
<bt>Elsa and Arthur Blades live in this elegant Colonial on Shari Hunt Grove in Clifton. Italian bronze sculptures, a Spanish, Carrera-marble mantel and a hand-painted mural are on display here. Visitors will also marvel at the collections of Chinese house tiles and Japanese artifacts in this internationally influenced home.

The utterly mundane task of bringing a garbage can back from the curb put a broad grin on Guy Mazzanti's face Monday, Jan 7.
Seaside Heights' retired police commissioner had been living with a daughter in Maryland since Superstorm Sandy pummeled the shore in October. The storm created memorable scenes of destruction like the roller coaster that plunged off a collapsing amusement pier and still sits in the ocean a few blocks from his home.
Mazzanti was one of a handful of residents who took advantage of long-sought permission to move back home permanently. Monday — nine weeks after the storm made landfall — was the first day residents could begin so-called "re-population" plans in Seaside Heights, as well as parts of Toms River and Brick.
Even now, Mazzanti isn't in his permanent home. That building took on more than 2 feet of water and still needs major repairs. But he rented a condominium and on Monday he greeted friends he hadn't seen for more than two months.
"It's paradise, being home," Mazzanti said. "I still can't believe how 24 hours can make such a difference in our lives," he said, referring to the storm.
Tony Vaz, a Seaside Heights councilman, also has not been able to return to his house. He, too, rented a condo until repairs can be made to his home.
"The feeling of being back home, in our own town, that's a feeling we all missed," Vaz said. "You can't imagine how good it feels."
Wearing a fleece New York Jets top, Vaz joked about having withstood two disasters last fall: the storm and the beleaguered football team's season. He's looking forward to normalcy in a neighborhood where there are still very few people.
"I'm looking forward to the 7-Eleven reopening, so when you need cigarettes or a cup of coffee, you can just walk around the corner and get it," he said. "Little things like that are part of everyday life in a town."
Al Poane, a retired police officer, has spent his entire life in Seaside Heights, except for the past nine weeks.
"It feels great to be back in town with people I grew up with," he said. "I just missed this town so much."
Very few residents of Seaside Heights or the rest of the barrier island that was devastated during the storm are back in their own homes. The Ortley Beach section of neighboring Toms River sustained some of the worst destruction in the state. Of the 2,600 homes there, only 60 escaped damage, and residents still can't return.
Parts of the Brick barrier island also got the all-clear sign on Monday, but even fewer residents appeared to have returned to an area defined by the more than 100 bungalows that burned during the storm.
Residents of Lavallette, a shore town north of Toms River, were permitted to return home last month as the infrastructure in their community came through the storm in better shape than neighboring towns, but even there, most homes remain vacant. Many of them are vacation homes, populated only during the summer
Also on Monday, public access was restored to the southern section of Mantoloking, another hard-hit town. But motorists had to detour onto a bridge leading out of town unless they were residents or contractors working on one of the hundreds of storm-damaged homes. There are still police checkpoints, and town-issued photo identification cards are needed to get into the northern half of town.
Jim and Joanne Murphy were among the very few residents who were able to move back into the Normandy Beach section of Toms River. Having built their home in May, they employed tough building standards that called for, among other things, a higher elevation than their neighbors. Aside from a caking of mud on the outside, their home was fine.
Carrying boxes of belongings back inside, the Murphys said they experienced a mixture of "euphoria and relief."
"There was a lot of anxiety," Jim Murphy said. "We weren't allowed into the area at all for 15 days; we didn't even know if we had a home to come home to."
His wife said: "We are happy — no, we are exuberant — to be back home. We may even go to the beach tomorrow. It's supposed to be 50 degrees."
Bill McEnery came to his house Monday, but still could not move in because the gas, water and electricity have yet to be restored.
His landlord promises they'll be turned back on soon. And when that day comes, McEnery knows exactly how he'll celebrate.
"The very first thing I'm gonna do is turn the heat up full blast, get naked, and run around the house," he said. "It's going to be so great to be home."

Think these 10 sports records can be broken? Think again
The assignment — rank the top 10 sports records that will never be broken — seemed straightforward enough until you dig into the research and realize you could easily fill the list with records from Major League Baseball alone.
To diversify the field, filters were added to eliminate marks set long ago in sports that have undergone such drastic change that those records will never be approached, let alone broken.
For instance, who could touch Cy Young's 511 career wins and 749 complete games from 1890 to 1911, and Old Hoss Radbourn's 59 wins in 1894?
Those were set when teams used three- and four-man rotations and rarely went to the bullpen; today's pitchers make 36 starts or so in injury-free seasons and are backed by a small army of relief specialists.
We also limited the field to records set from 1940 on. That eliminates Georgia Tech's 222-0 victory over Cumberland University — or was that Cumberland Farms? — in 1916, the most lopsided college football game ever. Would any coach risk losing his job by running up the score on a hapless opponent like that today?
Candidates were chosen from professional sports, the Olympics and major college sports, eliminating obscure marks such as Division III Linfield College's NCAA football record of 58 consecutive winning seasons and the myriad high school records set across the nation.
With that in mind, the envelope please:
Iron Man II
On May 29, 1982, Cal Ripken, then a 21-year-old Baltimore shortstop, sat out the second game of a doubleheader against Toronto. He would not miss another game until Sept. 20, 1998, when he voluntarily sat out the final home game of the season against the New York Yankees.
Ripken's streak of 2,632 consecutive games played spanned more than 16 years and included that historic night of Sept. 6, 1995, when, with the Angels, President Clinton and Joe DiMaggio on hand, Ripken broke Lou Gehrig's record of 2,130 straight games and took a 22-minute victory lap around Camden Yards.
Injuries, illness and the desire of managers to pace players with days off through 162-game seasons prevent most streaks from gaining much steam.
The longest active streak of 505 games — 2,127 short of Ripken — is held by new Texas first baseman Prince Fielder. To break Ripken's record, all Fielder, 29, has to do is play in every game … for 13 more years.
Seventh heaven
Lew Alcindor passed the torch to Sidney Wicks, who passed it to Bill Walton. Those three stars and legendary Coach John Wooden were the keys to UCLA's incredible run to a record seven straight national championships and 38 consecutive NCAA tournament victories from 1967 to 1973.
No other Division I college basketball program — not Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina or Michigan State — has won more than two straight national titles. With today's stars bolting for the NBA after one or two years in college, forcing coaches to reshuffle rosters every year or two, it's impossible to build a UCLA-like dynasty.
Alcindor, later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wicks and Walton remained at UCLA through their senior seasons. UCLA also needed four victories to win most of those titles. Today's teams must navigate a more grueling 64-team field and win six games for a championship.
Luck of the Irish
After securing the second pick of the 1956 NBA draft in a trade, Boston Celtics Coach Red Auerbach persuaded the Rochester Royals, in a negotiation that included a promise that the Celtics would send the highly popular Ice Capades to Rochester, to bypass a certain 6-foot-9 All-American center with the first pick.
Rochester took Duquesne swingman Sihugo Green, and the cigar-chomping Auerbach nabbed Bill Russell, the centerpiece of a Celtics team that won a record eight straight NBA titles from 1959 to 1966, five of them against the Lakers, starting a bitter rivalry that has spanned decades.
The NBA's collective-bargaining agreement makes it much more difficult to keep great teams together today. First-round picks who become impact NBA players can become free agents after only four years, and teams can sign their own free agents for a maximum of five years.
And penalties for teams passing the $71.7-million luxury-tax threshold are severe. A club with a $100-million payroll would owe an additional $78 million in taxes.
The Great One
Wayne Gretzky was not the biggest, strongest or fastest skater in NHL history, but his combination of skill, instincts, intelligence and ability to read the game was unrivaled. In 21 seasons, the Brantford, Canada, native amassed a record 2,857 points, almost 1,000 more than second-ranked Mark Messier (1,887).
Gretzky, who led the Edmonton Oilers to five Stanley Cup championships from 1984 to 1990, holds nine of the top 11 single-season points records, including four of 205 or more. In fact, he has more assists (1,963) than any other player has points.
The two active players closest to Gretzky are 43-year-old New Jersey Devils right winger Jaromir Jagr, who has 1,706 points, and 41-year-old Ducks right winger Teemu Selanne, who has 1,437 points and is retiring after this season.
Ryan Express
Nolan Ryan's consistent delivery from a strong, wiry and freakishly injury-resistant 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame produced high-octane velocity that the right-hander carried well into his 40s.
Ryan amassed a record 5,714 strikeouts in 27 years (1966-93). Only one pitcher — Randy Johnson (4,875) — is within 1,000 strikeouts. Roger Clemens (4,672) and Steve Carlton (4,136) rank third and fourth, respectively.
To break Ryan's record, a pitcher would have to average 228 strikeouts over 25 seasons or 286 strikeouts over 20 seasons, virtually impossible in an age when pitchers start on four days' rest, pitch counts are so closely monitored and starters rarely pitch beyond the seventh inning.
Ryan, who whiffed a modern-day record of 383 batters in 1973, holds another unbreakable record with 2,795 walks, 962 more than Carlton (1,833).
San Francisco treat
Mississippi-raised Jerry Rice, the son of a brick mason, says he developed his strong hands working for his father, often catching bricks that were tossed two stories up by his brother.
Rice would use those hands — and his speed, instincts and route-running ability — to become the greatest receiver in NFL history, accumulating a record 22,895 receiving yards and 197 touchdowns from 1985 to 2004 and helping the San Francisco 49ers win three Super Bowls.
It didn't hurt that Rice, who is 6,961 yards ahead of second-place Terrell Owens (15,934 yards) on the NFL's all-time list, had two Hall of Fame quarterbacks — Joe Montana and Steve Young — throwing to him for 16 seasons.
But Rice was also huge in big games. He was the most valuable player in a victory over Cincinnati in Super Bowl XXIII.
The Big Dipper
A last-place New York Knicks team was no match for Wilt Chamberlain on March 2, 1962, the hulking 7-foot-1, 275-pound Philadelphia Warriors center scoring an NBA record 100 points in a game played in Hershey, Pa.
Chamberlain, despite being triple-teamed in the second half, made 36 of 63 shots from the field and 28 of 32 from the line, remarkable for a player who struggled so much he shot his free throws underhanded.
Darrell Imhoff, the Knicks' 6-9, 220-pound center, got into foul trouble, and 6-9 backup Cleveland Buckner was overwhelmed. Chamberlain's by-quarter points: 23, 18, 28, 31. "He literally stuffed us through the hoop with the ball," Imhoff said.
The closest anyone has come to the record is Lakers star Kobe Bryant, who, after scoring 81 points against Toronto in 2006, said of Wilt's mark, "It's unthinkable … it's pretty exhausting to think about it."
Long live the king
Driving his famous No. 43 stock car for 34 years from 1958 to 1992, North Carolina native Richard Petty racked up 200 NASCAR wins, including the prestigious Daytona 500 a record seven times. Petty, who survived harrowing crashes in 1970, 1980 and 1988, also won a record 27 races in 1967 alone.
The driver who is second to Petty on NASCAR's all-time list, David Pearson, retired with 105 wins. Active racer Jeff Gordon ranks third with 86 wins. Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip, both retired, are tied for fourth with 84 wins.
Why is Petty's record virtually untouchable? Because the sport today is so much more competitive than it was in Petty's era; there are more good drivers and good cars that have been aided by huge advances in technology throughout the field in any given race.
Marathon men
John Isner and Nicolas Mahut made history by playing an 11-hour, 5-minute, 183-game match over three days at Wimbledon in 2010. That was a full 4 1/2 hours longer than the previous record match of 6 hours, 33 minutes by Fabrice Santoro and Arnaud Clement at the 2004 French Open.
Two days after their match started, Isner, of North Carolina, defeated Mahut, of France, 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7), 7-6 (3), 70-68. The previous mark for games played was 112 between Pancho Gonzales and Charlie Pasarell in 1969 at Wimbledon. Isner and Mahut shattered that by playing 138 games — in the fifth set.
Isner said of his vanquished opponent, "The guy's an absolute warrior. It stinks someone had to lose. To share this with him was an honor. Maybe we'll meet again down the road, and it won't be 70-68." They met again in the first round at Wimbledon in 2011, Isner winning in straight sets in a mere 2 hours, 2 minutes.
Home run king*
It's difficult to rank the records of Barry Bonds, who hit 73 homers for the San Francisco Giants in 2001 and 762 homers in his 22-year career, passing Mark McGwire's single-season mark and Hank Aaron's career mark.
The slugger was a central figure in baseball's steroids scandal, being indicted on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in 2007 for allegedly lying to a grand jury by testifying that he never knowingly took any illegal steroids.
Baseball's crackdown on performance-enhancing drugs and renewed emphasis on pitching and defense will make both records difficult to eclipse, but who knows?
MLB may have to cope with an undetectable chemical era in the future, or some Ruthian-like slugger could emerge from nowhere — like Baltimore's Chris Davis, who hit 53 homers in 2013 — and top the single-season mark.
Barely missed the cut
Pete Rose's 4,256 career hits … Lance Armstrong's seven straight Tour de France wins (1999-2005) … Chicago Bulls' 72-win season (1995-96) … Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak (1941) … Glenn Hall's 502 consecutive starts in goal for the Chicago Blackhawks … … Wilt Chamberlain's 55-rebound game against Boston (1960) … Rickey Henderson's 1,406 career stolen bases … Byron Nelson's 11 straight PGA tournament wins (1945) … Lakers' 33 straight wins (1971-72) … Brett Favre's 297 straight NFL starts at quarterback.

By: Don Davis, Forum Communications, DL-Online
Establishing gray wolf hunting and trapping seasons is popular among many at the Minnesota Legislature, but lawmakers are hearing from those who do not like the idea.
So far, opponents have not slowed House and Senate bills from advancing. The latest vote came Tuesday, when the Senate natural resources committee unanimously approved allowing the Department of Natural Resources to establish the seasons.
"We're trying to balance," Sen. Paul Gazelka, R-Brainerd, said about his bill. "We are not trying to wipe out the wolf."
Tom Casey, a private citizen concerned about wolves, told the committee that Gazelka's bill would open up much of the state for year-around wolf hunting.
The proposal would allow Minnesotans in the area generally northeast of Brainerd to kill a wolf any time if it appeared to be an immediate threat to livestock or domestic animals. In the rest of the state, wolves could be killed at any time for almost any reason, Casey said.
Brad Sagen of near Ely, chairman of Northeast Minnesotans for Wilderness, complained that wolf hunting could drive the animals out of their normal habitats into areas where they usually would not roam.
Catherine Zimmer of St. Paul, a former Alexandria-area resident, said that hunting wolves hinders her hobby: wildlife watching.
Zimmer said DNR statistics show there are four times as many wildlife watchers than hunters, and they spend more money.
"You are diminishing my chance to see a wolf," she said.
The dispute over wolf hunting arose when the federal government late last year removed the gray wolf from the endangered species list, opening the possibility of hunting and trapping seasons.
About 3,000 gray wolves live in Minnesota, the largest population in the lower 48 states. The DNR says that number is about twice what is federal officials require, opening the opportunity for wolf hunting.
Sportsmen are thrilled with the possibility of a wolf season.
"This is probably one of the most historic hunting bills that have gone through the Legislature," said Gary Leaf of Sportsmen for change.
Committee Chairman Sen. Bill Ingebrigtsen, R-Alexandria, said the hunting and trapping seasons basically would be a year-long test.
Farm organizations joined sportsmen in supporting the proposal.
Under the bill, Minnesota hunters and trappers would pay $26 for a license. Those from other states could not trap wolves and would pay $230 to hunt them.
The bill allows the DNR to begin the wolf hunting season at the same time deer season begins, and sportsmen say many hunters will enter a lottery to buy a wolf license so they may hunt both animals at the same time.
