University of Southern California
Vogt, during her second year with the Trojans in 2010, helped send 11 women's swimmers to the NCAA Championships as USC placed seventh, its best finish since 2003. Also, the Trojans posted a combined seven top 4 individual finishes and had two All-American relays. The men's squad finished 11th at NCAAs with a 10-swimmer squad.
She coached Chip Peterson, a 2005 world 10 km champion, and a number of world-class swimmers and Olympians at the Trojan Swim Club in Los Angeles, California with Dave Salo and Kevin Clements including 2012 Olympic 10K Marathon Swim silver medalist Haley Anderson and gold medalist Oussama Mellouli.

She has helped guide 15 swimmers at USC to All-American honors, including Katinka Hosszu, a three-time NCAA champion. Coach Vogt focuses her efforts on open water swimmers and USC's distance swimmers like Haley Anderson
Haley Anderson was third in the 1650-yard freestyle and sixth in the 500-yard free at the 2011 NCAA Women's Swimming Championships and won the Pacific-10 titles in both events. Anderson also won gold in the 1500m free at the 2011 World University Games and was fourth in the 10 km at the USA Swimming National Open Water Swimming Championships. Under Vogt's tutelage in 2010, Anderson was fourth in the 1650y at the NCAAs and was a consolation finalist in the 500y free. She also represented the U.S. at the at the Pan Pacific Games, finishing fourth in the 10K and the 1500m free and eighth in the 800m free. At the 2010 World Open Water Championships, Anderson was fourth in the 25K. Also, USC's Richard Charlesworth finished just one spot (ninth) out of earning All-American honors in the 1650y free at the 2010 NCAAs.
International Career
Coach Vogt also served as head coach for the 2009 USA Swimming National Open Water Swimming Team that competed at the 2009 World Swimming Championships in Rome, Italy where the swimmers won 1 silver medal, 1 bronze, posted five top 10 finishes and finished fourth in the overall team scoring among 36 nations. She served as assistant coach with the USA Swimming National Open Water Swimming Team at the 2008 World Open Water Swimming Championships in Seville, Spain. She was also the head coach for USA Swimming National Open Water Swimming Team at the 2008 Open Water test event at the 2008 Beijing Olympics course. She was the head coach for the American team at the 2006 Pan Pacific Open Water Swimming Championships in Long Beach, California and at the 2007 Pan American Games. She was also the assistant men's swimming coach at the 2007 Pan Am Games where she became the first woman to be named to an American men's team staff at an international competition. She also was an assistant coach at the USA Swimming National Select Open Water camps in 2006 and 2007, as well as at the 2005 World Swimming Championships and at the 2006 World Open Water Swimming Championships.
She has coached age group and senior swimmers that qualified and won medals at the World University Games, Open Water National Championships, World Open Water Swimming Championships, U.S. Senior National Championships, Junior Pan Pacific Games, World Championship Trials, and U.S. Olympic Trials, in addition to gold medal victories of Ous Mellouli and Haley Anderson in the 5 km races at the 2013 FINA World Championships in Barcelona, Spain.
Prior to coaching at North Carolina, Vogt coached at the Carteret Currents Swimming Club in North Carolina. She has also coached club teams in Virginia and Mississippi, and swam for North Carolina for four years in the distance freestyle (competing as Catherine Frock).
She graduated from the University of North Carolina in 2000 with degrees in education and psychology, and was named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll and Dean's List at UNC from 1997-99.
She is married to Matt Vogt, who is a Major in the U.S. Marine Corps. Their first baby, Carson Elizabeth, was born 1 October 2010.
Selected Open Water Swimming Athletes
2012 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year Nomination
Vogt was nominated for the 2012 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year award. Her World Open Water Swimming Association nomination reads,
Day in and day out, early in the morning and late at night, University of Southern California coach Catherine Vogt cares for her athletes with the maternal instincts of a tigeress. Beneath her perennial stunning smile lies a fiercely competitive nature. Her gorgeous blue eyes miss nothing and express much. The only coach at the 2012 London Olympics to personally coach both a male and female marathon swimming finalist, she went 2-for-2 in the Olympic 10K. Coach Vogt prepares her athletes strategically and tactically in practice so they can execute in the field of play. She exudes confidence that is implicitly understood and utilized by her athletes. With the Serpentine as her chess board, she advised the right moves at the right times for Haley Anderson (silver) and Ous Mellouli (gold). For her dedicated work on a daily basis, for her calm but intense demeanor on a feeding pontoon, on deck or onshore, for her success at the Olympics, Coach Catherine Vogt is a worthy nominee for the 2012 WOWSA Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year.

WILEF then selected 32 firms that met their standards for certification, which focused on whether women are significantly represented in positions of power and among the top-earning lawyers.The standard for selection required that Fulbright meet at least three of the six criteria:Women account for at least 20% of equity partnersWomen represent at least 10% of firm chairs and office managing partnersWomen make up at least 20% of the firm's primary governance committeeWoman represent 20% or more of the firm's compensation committeeWomen make up at least 25% of practice group leaders or department headsWomen represent at least 10% of the top half of the most highly compensated partnersWILEF did not specify the criteria met by each firm; however, all selected firms will be equally acknowledged at an awards ceremony to be held in New York City this September."At a time when women are losing ground in some firms, it is wonderful to recognize 32 law firms where women are prominently represented at the highest levels of leadership and compensation," said Ida O. Abbott, co-chair of WILEF West and chair of the WILEF Certification Committee. "These firms prove that a commitment to the advancement of women can produce great results."Fulbright has a long history of inclusion and a commitment to ensuring that each of its lawyers has well-founded confidence that he or she can build a successful career with the support of the firm and colleagues.Learn more about Fulbright's Focus on Women at www.fulbright.com/focusonwomen.

Exposure to excessive sunshine increases exposure to UV radiation. UVA and UVB radiation increase risk for skin cancer, increases skin aging (WRINKLES!), can cause eye damage and can decrease our skin's natural immunity.
The best way to decrease risk is to play safely in the sun by using shade, staying out of sun during peak hours (10 a.m. – 4 p.m.) and using sunscreen on areas you can't cover up. Choose whatever texture of sunscreen you like (cream, lotion, gel, stick, wipes or spray) as you'll likely use it more if you love it.
More important than any brand, ingredient or sunscreen claim is how you use sunscreen. Use it early (15 - 20 minutes before outside) and often (every 2 hours).
Health effects of sun:
- Melanoma rates are rising in children, teens and adults
- One severe sunburn during childhood doubles the risk of melanoma
- UVA causes skin Aging
- UVB causes skin to Burn
- Any tan or burn is evidence of damage to the skin
New rules for sunscreen:
- FDA has required new rules for sunscreen labels
- You need broad spectrum SPF over 30. Broad-spectrum sunscreen covers UVA and UVB rays. (SPF only covers UVB)
- Apply 20 minutes before going out in sun; re-apply every 2 hours in sun
What parents need to know:
- Buy whatever texture you like. You'll use it more
- Don't use sprays near children's face
- Need SPF over 30
- No sunscreen is waterproof or "playproof" -- Reapply!
- Use sun-protective clothing whenever you can

The Visiting Moms Program of Jewish Family and Children's Service is starting a new session of the New Mothers' Support Group beginning Thursday, October 18. The group meets every Thursday at the Old Colony YMCA (445 Central Street) in Stoughton from 10-11:30am. No registration is necessary.
This free, non-sectarian support group offers an opportunity for women to share their experiences, questions and concerns. It can also help lessen the isolation and loneliness so many new moms feel. The transition to motherhood can be an enormous and sometimes overwhelming adjustment. We don't want anyone to go through it alone. For Mom's with children from birth through 12 Months.
For more information, call Deborah Walker at 781-639-5652.

Newburyport Daily News
---- — Some people say 2012 was a less-than-stellar year for our political system. Some people say it would be good if our favorite politicians made some New Year's resolutions. Here are some suggestions.
President Barack Obama should resolve to smoke more cigars with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. The two men basically stopped talking as the fiscal cliff loomed. A few stogies — or Obama's penchant for beer summits — might work.
Boehner should resolve to drink more of his favorite beverage, wine — with Obama. See above. He should also never mention Plan B again.
Vice President Joe Biden should resolve to stay off Sunday talk shows (you remember when he preempted the president's policy change on gay marriage on "Meet the Press") — unless it's U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's turn to speak for the administration.
Rice should resolve to pay no attention to CIA talking points. About anything.
Former President Bill Clinton should resolve to stop speculating on whether his wife Hillary will run for president in 2016 and just say, well, duh, of course she's going to run.
Outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should resolve to stick to one hairstyle so we'll stop talking about how it changes daily.
Incoming Secretary of State John Kerry should do something to spice up his boring demeanor. Perhaps he should change his hairstyle.
Tea partiers should resolve to stop pretending and just admit: Yes, we don't care if the nation goes into default and stops paying its debts and causes the markets to crash and the economy to falter. Just so Obama gets the blame.
Democrats should resolve to stop pretending and just admit: Yes, we want elderly people who vote our party line to get higher and higher Social Security and Medicare benefits until the piggy bank is empty.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie should resolve to keep being snarky to anyone who questions his motives, his weight, his conservative credentials or his handshakes with Obama. It seems to work for him.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush should stop being coy and statesmanlike and admit: Yes, I should be the next president. I couldn't possibly be worse than my brother. Besides, what's not to like about another Clinton-Bush race?
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., should continue to knock John Boehner as a cog in the wheel: Yes, I'm the only one who can make a deal with his colleagues. (I'm also the only Mormon in a top leadership role these days now that what's-his-name who didn't even want to be president is gone.)
Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., who may run for John Kerry's Senate seat after losing to long-shot Elizabeth Warren in a race that cost a total of $85 million, should resolve to stop goading her about not having enough Native American blood.
Departed CIA director and four-star Gen. David Petraeus, considering a number of book proposals, should resolve to participate in no more biographies that turn into career-busters. And not even think of running for president.
"Meet the Press" host David Gregory, in hot water for airing a high-capacity magazine the possession of which is against the law in the District of Columbia where the weekly political show is filmed, should resolve to stick to questions and forget props.
Scripps Howard columnist Ann McFeatters has covered the White House and national politics since 1986.

Inside Collection (Textbook): Collaborative Statistics
The Ice Chalet offers dozens of different beginning ice-skating classes. All of the class names are put into a bucket. The 5 P.M., Monday night, ages 8 - 12, beginning ice-skating class was picked. In that class were 64 girls and 16 boys. Suppose that we are interested in the true proportion of girls, ages 8 - 12, in all beginning ice-skating classes at the Ice Chalet. Assume that the children in the selected class is a random sample of the population.

The Hype Is Real: The 2011 SX Season Kicks Off At A1 This Weekend
Once again it's that time of year, time to kick start the AMA Monster Energy Supercross season at Anaheim Stadium. People in the greater So Cal area and throughout the 2-wheel motorsports community are a buzz, as this has to be the most anticipated start to the Supercross season EVER.
First you have the return of Oakley's James "Bubba" Stewart after his rough year in 2010 when he had a wrist injury at stop number two and was officially out after race three. Now word is he's rearing to get back onto the track and prove he's still the best to all his naysayers.
Then you have the reigning champion and no longer a rookie, Oakley's very own Ryan Dungey who everyone is gunning for in this new season. As you all know Dungey had a year for the record books by winning the premier class of Supercross and Outdoor Motorcross in 2010. So, will Ryan suffer the classic sophomore year slump, or will he prove that last year was no fluke and he is here to reign supreme in the new decade?
And don't forget about Oakley's other top Supercross riders, like Ryan Villopoto and Josh Grant. Villopoto captured the most wins in 2010 during a season-long battle with Dungey that ended prematurely with a frightening crash in St. Louis. After being forced to sit off a bike for nearly five months, Villopoto is determined to take care of what he considers to be unfinished business against Dungey. Grant on the other hand is coming off a Summer X Games gold medal win in 2010 and is ready to prove he can take that winning style to the premier call in Supercross.
No matter what, Ryan Dungey will lead this insane field of his fellow Oakley Factory Pilot Team contenders vying for his current #1 plate on Saturday at Angels Stadium for the first round of the 2011 championship.

Edith Sitwell
The Times (London) stated in 1955 that "she writes for the sake of sound, of color, and from an awareness of God and regard for man." She believed that "Poetry is the deification of reality, and one of its purposes is to show that the dimensions of man are, as Sir Arthur Eddington said, 'half way between those of an atom and a star.'" An admiring critic, John Lehmann, author of Edith Sitwell and A Nest of Tigers: The Sitwells in Their Times, admitted that "her tendency has always been rather to overwork her symbolism; by a certain overfluid quality in her imagination to make the use of the symbols sometimes appear confused and indiscriminate." This Baroque quality has its admirers, however. Babette Deutsch in Poetry in Our Time wrote: "like the medieval hangings that kept the cold away from secular kings and princes of the Church, the finest of [Dame Edith's] poems have a luxurious beauty that serves to grace the bareness, to diminish the chill of this bare, cold age." Writing in the London Times, Geoffrey Elborn commented that Sitwell's best work was written in the 1920s, collected in the volumes Bucolic Comedies, The Sleeping Beauty, and Troy Park. "These ... [were] written with a highly individual use of language still unsurpassed for its peculiar, inimitable artifice. Far from being trivial, these early poems by one 'a little outside life' should now find a greater acceptance in an era more concerned with Sitwell's concepts than her own age, earning her the deserved and secure reputation for which she herself so earnestly but recklessly fought."
The New Statesman has said that Sitwell's place in poetry is "roughly commensurate with that of Christina Rossetti in the previous century," and insists on the primacy of her personality. The sister of Osbert and Sacheverell was indeed not to be trifled with. Says Sacheverell: "She was always determined to be remarkable and she has succeeded." The New Statesman described her thus: "great rings load the fingers, the hands are fastidiously displayed, the eye-sockets have been thumbed by a master, the eyes themselves haunt, disdain, trouble indifference, and the fashions are century-old with a telling simplification." At times, and perhaps not unintentionally, she looked like a Tudor monarch. The author of a study of Elizabeth I, she once remarked: "I've always had a great affinity for Queen Elizabeth. We were born on the same day of the month and about the same hour of the day and I was extremely like her when I was young." Dame Edith always insisted that she was no eccentric: "It's just that I am more alive than most people."
Her outspoken manner and rebellion against accepted modes of behavior led to encounters with such as Wyndham Lewis and Geoffrey Grigson. When Facade was first performed in London in 1922, the response of the audience and of critics was derisive and indignant. Dame Edith recalled: "I had to hide behind the curtain. An old lady was waiting to beat me with an umbrella." (In 1949 the work was enthusiastically received in New York.) She remained wonderfully candid. On a visit to America she revealed that her most serious objection to certain Beat poets was that they smelled bad, and found she liked the late Marilyn Monroe, "largely because she was ill treated. She was like a sad ghost."
Robert K. Martin summed up Sitwell's literary career in Dictionary of Literary Biography: "Sitwell's reputation has suffered from the exceptional success of Facade, which was often treated as if it were the only work she had ever written. Inadequate attention has been paid to her development as a social poet, as a religious poet, and as a visionary. Her career traces the development of English poetry from the immediate post-World War I period of brightness and jazzy rhythms through the political involvements of the 1930s and the return to spiritual values after World War II. Her technique evolved, and, although she always remained a poet committed to the exploration of sound, she came to use sound patterns as an element in the construction of deep philosophic poems that reflect on her time and on man's condition. Edith Sitwell needs to be remembered not only as the bright young parodist of Facade, but as the angry chronicler of social injustice, as a poet who has found forms adequate to the atomic age and its horrors, and as a foremost poet of love. Her work displays enormous range of subject and of form. With her contemporary [T. S.] Eliot she remains one of the most important voices of twentieth-century English poetry."

---- — The City and Town of Plattsburgh have worked out an agreement that allows the city to have its compost facility available as a backup for sludge disposal. We applaud the cooperation that resolved this sticky situation.
It isn't the leaders of the two communities who deserve the credit; in fact, their posturing contributed to delaying the resolution for months.
The situation, in brief, is this: The City of Plattsburgh used to process its sludge at a compost plant located off Rugar Street in the Town of Plattsburgh. But that was shut down in 2004 after years of odor complaints. The city switched to shipping its sludge out to landfill facilities. But in recent years, city officials have grown concerned that the sludge could get turned away from landfills or that the cost could become prohibitive. A backup plan was needed.
In 2011, the city received a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation permit amendment for a new alkaline treatment to process sludge, emphasizing that it would be used only if other disposal means evaporated. Then it asked the town for permission to operate the compost plant, if needed.
What followed was a series of moratoriums while the town worked out a Solid Waste Management Facility Law. It certainly makes sense for any community to have restrictions of this type in place to protect the property and well-being of its residents.
Had Town Supervisor Bernie Bassett and City Mayor Donald Kasprzak been amiable right from the start, an agreement would probably have been worked out quickly. But, as often happens between those two, prickly words were exchanged.
"I continue to be baffled by the efforts of town officials to throw roadblocks into the process of having an environmentally sound backup plan," Kasprzak said, at one point.
Behind the scenes, however, the people who were working out the details did so with cooperation, basing decisions on facts and compromising to shape an agreement. Planning Department head Phil Von Bargen and City Environmental Manager Jon Ruff worked out a plan, which was approved by the Town Planning Board, led by Robert Pearl. The professionalism and hard work exhibited by all those officials is an example to other communities that have to deal with a potentially contentious situation.
The five-year permit produced from their efforts includes more than 20 conditions designed to ensure that residents are protected. Those include restrictions on the amount of sludge processed and where it comes from (the city and the Town of Peru only), formation of a Citizens Advisory Committee (three town residents, three city residents) and establishment of a 24-hour odor-complaint hotline. A number of equipment mandates are also included.
It is a well-defined plan that even includes a way for the town to shut the plant down in the event of odor issues.
City and town residents can have confidence in their future comfort, thanks to this cooperation success story.

OpenOffice.org Calc: Basic arithmetic and statistic functions
For novices, functions are one of the most intimidating features of OpenOffice.org's Calc. Newcomers quickly learn that functions are a main feature of spreadsheets, but there are almost four hundred, and many require input that assume specialized knowledge. Nor are the often circular definitions of the Function Wizard much help: You are no better off for reading that the SKEW function "returns the skewness of a distribution," for example. However, Calc includes dozens of functions that anyone can use, the most basic of which create formulas for basic arithmetic or for evaluating numbers in a range of cells.
But before plunging into the examples below, take the time to review the basic structure of functions. A function is the building block for a spreadsheet equation. Technically, it becomes a formula when arguments are entered into it, although the two terms are often used interchangeablely. Both functions and formulas begin with an equal sign, and take either numbers or cell addresses as arguments. In some cases, an argument takes a specific number, which has a particular meaning you probably have to look up.
Cell addresses consist of a letter for the column and a number for the row, so that A1 is the top left cell. You can enter a range of cells by specifying the first and the last cell in the range, separated by a colon; for example, A1:A4 includes cells A1 and A4, as well as A2 and A3.
You can enter formulas using either the formula bar or by selecting Insert -> Function, which opens the Function Wizard. The Function Wizard is the easiest method for beginners, since you can choose a range of cells from it with the mouse, the Wizard's window conveniently minimizing so that you can see the spreadsheet more easily. The Wizard also includes input fields and displays errors, both of which can become useful as you become more experienced.
With this quick recap in mind, you are now ready to try some useful simple functions:
Basic arithmetic
The most basic functions in Calc are simple arithmetic: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (or, as Alice in Wonderland calls them, Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision).
Except for subtraction, each of these operations has its own function. You can use SUM for addition, PRODUCT for multiplication, and QUOTIENT for division. Traditionally, subtraction does not have a function, apparently on the grounds that it is too simple for one to be any of benefit -- although the same could be said, it seems to me, about the other basic functions.
SUM, PRODUCT and QUOTIENT are useful for entering ranges of cells in the same way as any other function, with arguments in brackets after the function name.
However, for basic equations, many users prefer the time-honored computer symbols for these operations, using the plus sign (+) for addition, the hyphen (-) for subtraction, the asterisk (*) for multiplication and the forward slash (/) for division. These symbols are quick to enter without requiring your hands to stray from the keyboard.
A similar choice is also available if you want to raise a number by the power of another. Instead of entering =POWER(A1;2), you can enter =A1^2.
Moreover, they have the advantage that you enter formulas with them in an order that more closely approximates human readable format than the spreadsheet-readable format used by the equivalent function. For instance, instead of entering =SUM (A1:A2), or possibly =SUM (A1;A2), you enter =A1+A2. This almost-human readable format is especially useful for compound operations, where writing =A1*(A2+A3) is briefer and easier to read than =PRODUCT(A1;SUM(A2:A3)).
The main disadvantage of using arithmetical operators is that you cannot directly use a range of cells. In other words, to enter the equivalent of =SUM (A1:A3), you would need to type =A1+A2+A3.
Otherwise, whether you use a function or an operator is largely up to you -- except, of course, when you are subtracting. However, if you use spreadsheets regularly in a group setting such as a class or an office, you might want to standardize on an entry format so that everyone who handles a spreadsheet becomes accustomed to a standard input.
Simple statistics
Another common use for spreadsheet functions is to pull useful information out of a list, such as a series of test scores in a class, or a summary of earnings per quarter for a company.
You can, of course, scan a list of figures if you want basic information such as the highest or lowest entry or the average. The only trouble is, the longer the list, the more time you waste and the more likely you are to miss what you're looking for. Instead, it is usually quicker and more efficient to enter a function. Such reasons explain the existence of a function like COUNT, which does no more than give the total number of entries in the designated cell range.
Similarly, to find the highest or lowest entry, you can use MIN or MAX. For each of these formulas, all arguments are either a range of cells, or a series of cells entered individually.
Each also has a related function, MINA or MAXA, which performs the same function, but treats a cell formatted for text as having a value of 0 (The same treatment of text occurs in any variation of another function that adds an "A" to the end). Either function gives the same result, and could be useful if you used a text notation to indicate, for example, if any student were absent when a test was written, and you wanted to check whether you needed to schedule a makeup exam.
For more flexibility in similar operations, you could use LARGE or SMALL, both of which add a specialized argument of rank. If the rank is 1 used with LARGE, you get the same result as you would with MAX. However, if the rank is 2, then the result is the second largest result. Similarly, a rank of 2 used with SMALL gives you the second smallest number. Both LARGE and SMALL are handy as a permanent control, since, by changing the rank argument, you can quickly scan multiple results.
You would need to be an expert to want to find the Poisson Distribution of a sample, or to find the skew or negative binominal of a distribution (and, if you are, you will find functions in Calc for such things). However, for the rest of us, there are simpler statistical functions that you can quickly learn to use.
In particular, if you need an average, you have a number to choose from. You can find the arithmetical means -- that is, the result when you add all entries in a list then divided by the number of entries by enter a range of numbers when using AVERAGE, or AVERAGE A to include text entries and to give them a value of zero.
In addition, you can get several other forms of averages:
- MEDIAN: The entry that is exactly half way between the highest and lowest number in a list.
- MODE: The most common entry in a list of numbers.
- QUARTILE:The entry at a set position in the array of numbers. Besides the cell range, you enter the type of Quartile: O for the lowest entry, 1 for the value of 25%, 2 for the value of 50%, 3 for 75%, and 4 for the highest entry. Note that the result for types 1 through 3 may not represent an actual item entered.
- RANK: The position of a given entry in the entire list, measured either from top to bottom or bottom to top. You need to enter the cell address for the entry, the range of entries, and the type of rank (0 for the rank from the highest, or 1 for the rank from the bottom.
Using these functions
In some cases, you may be able to get similar results to some of these functions by setting up a filter or a custom sort. However, in general, functions are more easily adjusted than filters or sorts, and provide a wide range of possibilities.
At times, you may just want to enter one or more formula temporarily in a convenient blank square, and delete it once you have satisfied your curiosity. However, if you find yourself using the same functions constantly, you should consider creating a template and including space for all the functions you use, with the cell to their left used as a label for them. Once you have created the template, you can easily update each formula as entries change, either automatically and on-the-fly or pressing the F9 key to update all selected cells. The choice, really, is yours.
No matter how you use these functions, you will probably find them simple to use and adaptable to many purposes. And, by the time you have mastered this handful, you will be ready to try more complex functions.
-- Bruce Byfield (nanday)
sort by date...
my question is can open office(or any other) use a rank function to sort a range of dates and list only the dates that are before the current date? its been driving me crazy.
subtract function
Your reason for not including a subtract functions is, well, not very good. The reason there is no subtract function is because it isn't needed. Subtraction is handled by the sum().
In math "sum" has two meanings. The first is the amount obtained by adding. The other though is the 'whole amount, quantity, number or aggregate'. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sum
The sum() function finds the 'quantity' not the 'result from adding'.
If one asks the mathematical question, "what is my quantity of apples if I start with 5, add 3 then taking away 4". Using 'sum' logic I can describe the equation as x = 5 + 3 - 4. If 'sum' literally meant 'to add' (and only add) then the equation would be x = 5 + 3 + (-4) and my question would be, "what is the quantity of apples when I start with 5, add 3 then add a deduction of 4".
Nice article.
Does OO Calc have a good way to handle significant digits? I've never know a spreadsheet that works well with significant digits so my question isn't really a slam against OO.
A scoop holds 356 grains of rice.
Each grain of rice weights .0217 grams
How much will 7 scoops weigh?
The correct answer is not 54.0764 when using significant digits.
I "think" the correct answer would be 54.077.
I was first introduced to significant digits in my chemistry class 20 years ago. I lost a grade because I never understood them. I've been on a quest ever since to figure out how to use a computer to help solve my significant digit shortcomings.
Correction to previous
Should calculate anything without openoffice...
The sentence in my previous message should be:
"Thus the MEDIAN(1,2,3,100) would be 50.5 and this is not the case."
Bruce, the thing that is
Bruce, the thing that is driving me crazy about OO Calc is how slow it is in doing something it calls 'adjusting row height'. Takes over a minute on an AMD 4000+ with 2G memory to open it. I have a workbook with around 15,000 rows of data in one sheet. This is a record of transactions. I then use an array formula to derive from this a total of items sold and value by month. So my array is about 6 monthly columns, of about 250 rows of items.
Maybe one should not do this in a spreadsheet at all, but at least if you do, a secretary can maintain and understand it.
I am looking at rewriting it in awk, it is so slow. Do you have any idea what is going on?
Definition of MEDIAN-function
The definition of MEDIAN-fuction is far from real.
"MEDIAN: The entry that is exactly half way between the highest and lowest number in a list."
Thus the MEDIAN(1,2,3,100) would be 100.5 and this is not the case.
The correct definition of MEDIAN is that equal amout of values are smaller than greater then the MEDIAN value. And the MEDIAN(1,2,3,4,100) is 3.
The function can be used to estimate a set with some error spikes. The spikes cause the AVERAGE-function show value that is untypical to the set.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Heartland Child Helped by St. Jude's By: Wendy Ray
St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis helps thousands of children every year overcome diseases -- mainly cancer.
Heartland News has teamed up with St. Jude to raise money for the center, by giving away a dream home. Everything being used to build the house was donated. All the money raised in the "Dream Home GiveAway" will go directly to St. Jude, so it can continue to help children from across the country and here in the Heartland, get better.
Elvis Simmers from Advance is going there for treatments right now. He says the people at St. Jude are making him feel better. Life's been tough lately for 13-year-old Simmers. He was diagnosed with Hodgkins Disease in February. He just finished his eighth week of chemotherapy at St. Jude Children's Hospital. "Sometimes they make you sick," Elvis says. His mom, Julia Simmers says, "He was down to 89 pounds. He's up to 107 now, it's helping him, the knots are fading away." His step-dad Bobbie Wallace says, "Just seeing him suffer and have to go through it you wish it could be you instead of him."
Elvis has four more weeks of chemotherapy to go. Then he'll take a break for a month, and go back for radiation treatments until the end of September. Elvis, his mom, and step-dad are in Memphis Monday through Thursday for treatments. They take turns bringing Elvis's sisters and brother to visit him. It makes him feel better. Elvis also finds comfort in the staff at St. Jude. "I have a favorite nurse, her name is Cynthia," Elvis says. His mom can barely express her thanks for how much St. Jude has helped. "If it wasn't for them, we don't know what we'd do, they've been really good to help us," she says.
St. Jude doesn't just cover medical expenses, but also gives parents, like Elvis', a place to stay while their child is getting treatments. If you would like to give to St. Jude, you can in the dream house giveaway. You'll be giving to a great cause, and also getting a chance to win the dream home.
If you would like to help Elvis and his family, a special fund has been set up in Elvis' name at

From The Editor's Desk
If you think this is some sort of BDSM blog, think again. There are many types of submissions. The one I'm going to talk about here is submission to a publishing house, like Champagne. I wear two hats, editor and author. And I angst over submissions, even though I've been in this business for several years. So thought I'd talk about the process I go through when submitting a story for consideration.
First, I write and do a round of edits on a story. I make a few notes about things I still need to work on. Then, if possible, I put it away for a month and work on the next story. That way, when I go through on round two of edits, it's fresh and easier to see the places I need to fix. This is when I'm really looking closely at the emotion, where I need to slow things down, where to speed them up...and what to gut. After this, I go through one more time, looking closely at grammar and punctuation. Now, I've already been through the story three times, but you'd be amazed how many things I catch on this last pass.
Then, my story goes to my critique partner, who catches even more things to fix. After I'm done with that, I send it to a beta reader. Yep. She catches a few more things, but by now, they're pretty minimal and easy to fix. While my story is being beta read, I check out what the publisher I want to send it to is looking for, making sure my story's a good fit. At this point, my story is polished and ready to go, so that's when I format however much the publisher wants (like first three chapters) to the specifications they ask for. Champagne uses pretty standard formatting (TNR size 12, one inch borders, double-spaced, etc.)
The CBG offices will be closed June 27 and reopening July 2 for the Canada Day long weekend. Customer service emails will be monitored should you require assistance.

12th Street Viaduct construction will result in lane closures
The City of Kansas City, Mo., is alerting motorists that extensive construction will result in lane closures on the 12th Street Viaduct starting today. Construction crews will close two lanes of the four lane bridge on the upper deck of the 12th Street Viaduct for about one year. In addition, the middle deck of the structure will be closed during that time to ensure safety.
One lane in each direction will remain open throughout construction. Completion of the final phase of construction is slated for mid-summer 2010.
Workers will start on the third phase of rehabilitation and repair on the bridge by repairing the upper and middle bridge decks and replacing expansion joints, barriers and streetlights on the structure. Previous phases repaired and rehabilitated the substructure and middle deck of the structure.
All construction and demolition work is done as long as the weather permits. Drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians are reminded to use caution in areas adjacent to active construction sites.
Media inquiries about this issue should be directed to Sean Demory, communications specialist in the Capital Improvements Management Office, (816) 513-0059.

Police say a 15-year-old boy was walking on a foot path behind the 5800 block of Cedar Lane on Oct. 28 at about 6:15 p.m. when he was approached by four males.
The victim reports the suspects told him to give them his backpack, or they would shoot him, and one of the suspects put his hand near his waistband, implying a gun. According to police, the boy gave them his backpack and they ran toward Eliots Oak Road.
Police describe the suspects as four black males, ages 16 to 18 years old, about 5' 10" and all wearing dark clothes.

Salem High poetry pros take center stage
By Rebecca Correa , Staff writer
SALEM - The lights were dim and the stage was bare, except for the teenagers who took their places behind a microphone one at a time to recite the poetry of those who lived long before them.
About 20 high-school students participated in last night's Poetry Out Loud competition at Salem High School. The national competition is in its third year, but this was the first time Salem High students have had the opportunity to be judged on how well they recite a poem of their choice.
Students used their free time to memorize poems with nonsense words by Lewis Carroll and the moral debates behind the words of W.H. Auden.
Humanities Director Jim Slobig said a group of English teachers met after school earlier this year with the hope of getting students involved in poetry outside the classroom.
"This idea started off small and absolutely snowballed," he said.
Earlier this year, students from about six classrooms had to read a poem in front of their English classes. Teachers chose the best of those students to compete last night.
Some practiced after school with their teachers; others recited the poems in their heads during classes. But each student participated and practiced for the competition at their own free will.
For Kyrsis Graham, 15, the night was equally scary and enjoyable.
"There's so many seniors," she said. "There's only one other freshman (finalist) and I've never been on a stage like that before."
Kyrsis earned her spot by being one of the top performers in her class.
Sophomore Amy Burzak, who chose to recite Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee," had a different hurdle to clear.
"I'm good at memorizing because I'm in the (school's) Actors Guild," she said.
Amy, 15, said it was planning the choreography that proved to be tricky. She chose to stick with simple hand gestures because the romantic poem did not leave much room for acting.
Some students took more liberty with acting out the expressions in their poems than others.
When senior Patrick Finn, 17, took the stage, he tried to bring the audience to the South.
His voice rose with emotion as he switched between two voices in "The Cremation of Sam McGee."
The poem by Robert Service has special meaning for him and may have given him a bit of an advantage over his peers. He said he learned the poem on family camping trips and had heard it many times before practices for the competition began.
Patrick said none of his favorite poets, including James Kavanaugh, were on the list of approved poems to choose from, so he chose Service's poem because it was among the more modern selections and often isn't discussed in school.
"I despise the fact that they overanalyze (poetry) in school and we read Shakespeare and older stuff," he said. "There's modern stuff, stuff that's only 50 or 100 years old, but still good."
English teacher Amanda Brouse helped several students gear up for last night's competition. She said the event helped reinforce reading comprehension and effective communication skills.
"It's a way to assuage the fear that many students have of poetry by allowing them to connect with a poem," she said. "It allows them to see that (poetry) is accessible to them and they can see their peers doing the same."
And while it wasn't quite slam poetry, it was still fun. If nothing more, it was a learning experience for some, including Kyrsis, who will likely be back on the stage next year.
Salem is one of 15 school districts in the state participating in the contest. Timberlane Regional High School is signed up to participate, but hasn't set a date for its competition.
The winner of the state competition receives a $200 scholarship, $500 for poetry books for the student's high school, and a trip to the national competition in Washington, D.C., in April. The runner-up receives a $100 scholarship and $200 for poetry books for the high school.
What does it take to win?
Students were judged on the following criteria:
Physical presence: posture, body language and eye contact
Voice and articulation: volume, speed, pronunciation
Appropriateness of dramatization: level of theatrics used
Level of difficulty: poem's length, content and language
Evidence of understanding: comprehension of words being recited
Accuracy: words aren't misspoken or forgotten
Poets who are moving on
Winner: Sarah Cotton
Runner-up: Patrick Finn
Third place: Shea Molloy
The state competition will take place at Keene State College on March 2.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is today in discussions with interested parties over the establishment of a central clearing house for credit default swaps (CDSs).Four potential counterparties are participating in the meetings: Frankfurt-based derivatives exchange Eurex; Chicago-based exchange operator CME Group in partnership with hedge fund management firm Citadel Investment Group; NYSE Euronext; and a group including The Clearing Corporation, IntercontinentalExchange (Ice), Markit and Risk Metrics.
Earlier this week CME and Citadel announced their intention to launch a fully integrated CDS trading and clearing platform, "subject to completion of definitive agreements and any necessary regulatory approvals". The two companies confirmed they were still negotiating details of the platform with regulators including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Fed.
On September 29, Chicago-based clearing house The Clearing Corporation (ClearCorp) revealed it was planning to establish a New York trust bank to serve as a central clearing house for CDS deals, and was working with the New York Fed and the New York State Banking Commission to obtain a banking license.
Ice had also been discussing the launch of its own platform with regulators; it fuelled rumours that it was entering the credit derivatives market with the purchase of New York-based electronic brokerage Creditex in June 2008. However, in a joint statement released today, ClearCorp and Ice announced they had "joined forces to support a global clearing solution for credit default swaps".
The New York Fed said it does not endorse any proposals specifically, but is "seeking to accelerate market adoption of central counterparty services".
Eurex has previously stated that it plans to clear OTC CDS contracts referencing the European iTraxx indexes "in the first half of 2009". A market participant predicted that European regulators would urge other operators to follow suit: "They'll try and force competition in Europe on all the different layers - trading, clearing and settlement."

When it comes to Potter League pups Daisy and Ellie Mae, the two are inseparable. Daisy went blind about a year ago, and Ellie Mae is her unofficial seeing-eye dog.
The two dogs, both eight years old, were relinquished to the Potter League because their owners were in the service and are now up for adoption.
Daisy is a mixed beagle with a tail that never seems to stop wagging. Ellie Mae is a coonhound mix who is happy to sit, shake and even spin around for a treat.
The Potter League is offering a two-for-one deal and will only charge the price of one dog to adopt the duo.
The Potter League's Facebook page also wrote that one night, staff put their beds on opposite sides of the room one night before leaving. The next morning, Daisy and Ellie Mae had moved their beds back together side by side.
"They need to go together," Potter League trainer Byron Davies said. "Daisy depends on Ellie Mae. We'd like to see them in a home together with each other.
They're very well behaved. . .and would be great companions."
Watch Daisy and Ellie Mae's video here. Contact the Potter League for more information at 401-846-8276.

Environmental nonprofit Save Mount Diablo bought a parcel of land with what may be the tallest manzanitas around — and a geologically unique volcanic dome.
The 7.4-acre property — bought for a buyer's market bargain of $125,000 — lies on Marsh Creek Road by Marsh Creek just east of Clayton. It's called Marsh Creek-V and it's the sixth parcel the nonprofit bought in the past year for $125,000 or less.
"Marsh Creek-V is especially rich in biodiversity according to their recent findings, including what may be the world's tallest manzanita," said Ron Brown, Save Mount Diablo's executive director. "Part of the reason for this richness is that the property is a rare volcanic dome with unusual geology."
The rare red-legged frog could be found on the land crossed by Marsh Creek, a major water source for loal wildlife.
The volcanic dome is composed of igneous rocks from a 165 million-year-old ocean crust, the same rocks that make up the mountain's main peaks, according to Diablo Valley College geology professors Jason Mayfield and Jean Hetherington. There are also pillow basalts created by ancient underwater eruptions and carried to North America by shifting tectonic plates.
Visit a similar volcanic dome with Save Mount Diablo's self-guided hike to Lower Perkins Canyon. Save Mount Diablo will guide hikes there on Oct. 8. See the schedule at www.SaveMountDiablo.org.

Approximately 30 art history students from Old Dominion University joined President Roseann Runte and Chrysler Museum of Art Director William Hennessey Wednesday as the pair signed a partnership agreement that will, among other projects, provide free admission to the museum for students.
"This is a fine example of inter-institutional cooperation to the benefit of the entire community. Students will have the opportunity to learn about art and gain an appreciation for it, which will enrich them throughout their lives," said Dr. Runte. "The interaction between the curatorial staff and the university faculty will open the door to increased collaboration and positive, creative exchange. I am most grateful to William Hennessey for his enlightened leadership. It is a great pleasure to work with him and his fine colleagues."
Under the agreement, Old Dominion will give a monetary contribution to the Chrysler and the museum will offer a museum studies course on campus, hire several student interns each semester and provide free space to student arts groups.
"We're taking this step because we want more people to discover and enjoy the Museum. This means removing as many barriers to participation as possible," explains Dr. Hennessey. "Our hope is that by offering easy and free access to students and young people, an ever larger and more diverse audience will make the Museum a regular part of their lives, and we feel confident that we can show them a good time, and that they will recognize the Chrysler as a great place for learning, insight, and inspiration."
In addition to offering free student admission, the Chrysler created The Young Enthusiasts Advisory Board, a group of young adults, including a number of ODU students, organized to brainstorm, plan, and execute events designed to engage the student audience, focusing on the 18-29 age group. Their first program will be a Movie Night on Nov. 30, featuring tapas, a special gallery tour, and a screening of The Motorcycle Diaries. Students and young adults interested in joining this group may contact Melissa Ball at (757) 333-6298 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Chrysler Museum of Art is located at 245 West Olney Rd. in Norfolk. The museum is open Wednesday 10 a.m.-9 p.m. by voluntary contribution; Thursday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday 1-5 p.m.; and it is closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and major Holidays.

BEVERLY, Mass. -- January 20, 2007 -- - Springfield College entered Saturday night's match-up with Endicott ranked fifth in the most recent CSTV/AVCA Division III Men's Coaches Poll, and the Pride did not disappoint, winning three games to one. Game scores were 30-27, 30-24, 25-30, 30-20. Springfield has now won two straight and has raised its record to 2-3 overall. In Division III competition, SC is now 2-0.
The Gulls opened up an early 2-0 lead in game one, only to have Springfield rattle off six of the next seven points to take an early 6-3 advantage. The Pride and the Gulls would exchange points over the next several minutes, with Springfield holding a slight 10-7 advantage a third of the way through the first game. The Pride's Eric Palumbo (Chili, NY/Pace) led SC on a strong serving stretch, extending the visitors lead to five at 16-11. Springfield College showed its strength as game one continued, building a convincing 24-17 lead, winning 30-27.
The visitors opened game two by building a quick 6-2 lead. Following an Endicott timeout, the Pride continued dictating the play, as Springfield was able to add to its advantage at 13-5. The Gulls started to find their groove midway through game two, scoring six of the next nine points, and pulling within five at 16-11. Moments later, Endicott's Matt Keepin (Harwinton, CT/Lewis S. Mills) hammered home a huge point for the home team, cutting the deficit to three at 23-20. Springfield, however, once again found a way to survive the Endicott flurry, holding on for a 30-24 game two decision.
Endicott made a statement early on in the third game that it would not go quietly, and with 10 points scored in contest number three, the Gulls led 6-4. EC then went on a strong run, grabbing six of the next eight points, forcing Springfield to burn a timeout with the score 12-6 in favor of the blue and green. The Gulls were able to extend their lead to 16-7 after a strong defensive block by senior captain Matt Keepin. Springfield would show its talent midway through game three, as the Pride was able to close the gap to four at 21-17 after a strong kill from freshman Andrew Nally (Rochester, NY/Pace). Endicott, led by co-captains Matt Keepin and George Chapell (Haverhill, MA/Haverhill) showed great poise under pressure in game three, eventually holding on for the 30-25 win.
Much like in game two, Springfield opened the fourth game by marching out front with a 6-2 advantage. The Pride continued applying pressure up front, leading 15-8 at the midpoint of game four. The two teams would trade the next eight points, as the Pride continued to stay out in front at 19-12. The match momentum stayed on Springfield's side, as SC was simply too strong for Endicott; taking the game and the match, 30-20.
Up next, Springfield hosts MIT on Tuesday, Jan. 23 at 7 pm.

The Dodgers made the claim, the Phillies smiled and said "No, thank you."

Like what the title says, I ordered the hufflepuff shirt about 7 days ago and the order status is still "new". Last time I ordered a shirt it didn't take too long to process, just shipping. I've already emailed teefury support but if there is any problem with orders or anything, I think the forum replies are much quicker.

outboardmeat129 weeks agoIt really depends on where you live. I am in Washington and it takes between 9-12 days since it was sold on the site. Longer if grab bag. Give it some time, should be there soon.
MJ129 weeks agoPrinting shirts always takes at least 3 to 7 business days :) That's because we're printing them from scratch after all the orders are in! It can take a little longer, but that's what makes each tee we sell a limited edition.
Zombiegal129 weeks ago9 days for me and I placed two separate orders the same day and received one of them. The other one still says "new." It was the grab bag so I thought those shirts were already printed.

This morning's Santa Lucia northeasterly (offshore) winds will produce clear skies and warm temperatures throughout San Luis Obispo County on this first full day of fall. Today's maximum temperatures along the beaches will reach the 70s, while the coastal valleys and North County will hit the high 80s.
Gentle to moderate (8- to 18-mph) Santa Lucia winds Tuesday morning will continue to produce clear skies and warm temperatures.
A change in the weather pattern will develop Wednesday as the upper-level winds (jet stream) will flow directly from British Columbia southward along the western seaboard toward the Central Coast in response to a trough of low pressure. This system will produce moderate gale- to fresh gale-force (32- to 46-mph) northwesterly winds along the coastline and partly cloudy skies. Maximum temperatures will only reach the 70s.
Overnight lows will drop into the low 40s in the North County.
In the Sierra Nevada, snow levels will drop to near 6,500 feet where another dusting of snow may occur by Thursday morning.
Fair and warmer weather will return by Friday with temperatures warming up into the 70s and 80s. A long a stretch of dry and warm autumn weather will start this weekend and should last through the first week of October.
Today's surf report
Today's 3- to 5-foot northwesterly (310-degree deep-water) sea and swell (with a 5- to 11-second period) will continue at this height and period through tonight.
An 8- to 10-foot northwesterly (315-degree deep-water) sea and swell (with a 5- to 15-second period) will develop along our coastline Tuesday and will remain at this height but with a gradually shorter period through Wednesday. This northwesterly sea and swell will decrease to 6 to 8 feet (with a 7- to 12-second period) Thursday, further lowering to 4 to 6 feet by Friday.
A 3- to 5-foot northwesterly (310-degree deep-water) swell (with an 8- to 11-second period) is forecast along the Central Coast for the Still Frothy Surf Festival in Pismo Beach this weekend.
Typhoon Pabuk will become extratropical as it moves toward the North Pacific. If this forecast verifies, a long-period northwesterly swell could arrive along our coastline by early October.
Seawater temperatures
Seawater temperatures will range between 52 and 55 degrees through Tuesday, decreasing to 50 and 54 degrees on Wednesday and will remain at this level through Thursday.
Seawater temperatures will start to increase Friday and will continue to warm through the weekend.

I went to an all girls boarding school in the 9th grade and we did NOT act like Ken and Alexander.
The Kiva guy might have been picked last but believe me he has many times the impact of the others. Translating these innovators into print fabrics is a stretch, though.

I'm at a hotel that doesn't carry Lifetime! Recap please - when it's over. Thanks
congratulations alexandria, your look makes your model look like she has a beer belly
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
Well if Alexandria doesn't go home this time then I know nothing about fashion.
Oops. She's safe
Dom or Braden should win.

Kate should not be gone before poopy pants.
Exactly. This was Kate's only bad look of the season and Alexandria's look was shite.

I couldn't believe Justin ended up safe.

Ken's "real woman" model, Susi, has written an interesting series of posts about her experience on the show. It starts here.
ETA: I hated Kate's look, but, once again, I can't really remember anything she's done this season. But I hated Alexandria's look even more. That was just all kinds of drab and ugly.

My job requires me to be a juggler, but that does not mean that I enjoy working with clowns.
there was so much fail here tonight.

I thought Dom';s "winning" print was hideous and made her model look like a sun-burned zebra. Helen's drama got old very fast; I can't imagine how bad it must be to be trapped in a room with all that whining and I did not get where that star print came from. Justin's idea and print looked okay to me, but I really think his actual sewing skills are lacking if he can't get seams to not pucker.
I really want that HP tablet though.
I'd rather be thought of as absolutely ridiculous than as absolutely boring.
Aw. 25 years and 15 pounds ago I would have worn Braden's thing in a heartbeat. I'd still wear the jacket, the dress would take chain-mail Spanx.
Dom's is not my taste, I don't like loud prints, but I thought she did a good job with it.

I'm with you.
Bradon's skill and taste are apparent.
That was a big task, done in a very short time.
The fit of Dom's dress was "off" to me.
I thought Kate, Justin, and the two Alexs all should have all been sent home. But if I had to choose only two, it would have been Alexandria (I was when she was safe!) and Kate.
I loved both Dom and Bradon's outfits.
Ugh, how could Kate think that was even the least bit fashionable. And so poorly made. I am surprised they sent her home, but she deserved it. I thought Alexandria's was a mess. Worse than the brown cake priestess. And Justin's didn't look bad from far away, but up close, yowza, really poor construction. I think I would have given the Pope a pass with all those other atrocities.
Wasn't crazy about Helen's but it was the third best up there. I really liked Braden's. Liked Dom's dress but not so much the print.
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
Kate was WEEKS past her auf date. That thing last night looked like a tissue paper fight.
No clue how Alexandria is still there either - that was hideous and they called it SAFE?
The clear winner of Project Runway this year is Ya, the model. She sells everything they put her in and makes crap garments look much better.
Didn't get the love for Dom's dress, but she's been underrated all season, so she must be getting the 'dark horse who shines' edit. And Kiva is such an awesome idea, so I'll live with the win. Better than giving it to Helen.
