How a Website is Builtby Christopher Butler | January, 2010
I've read plenty of interesting analogies used to explain what building a website is like. I've even written a few myself. From various points of view, a website could be compared to a car, a house, a cellphone, a movie, or all kinds of other things. I've even heard a website compared to a clown (don't ask)! Most of the time, these analogies are striving to find the most effective way of emphasizing the time, cost, complexity or purpose of a website project. Rather than construct yet another metaphor around that point, I'm just going to come right out and say it: Building a website is a complex task that takes a lot of time and costs a lot of money. But that's not the really interesting part, is it?
The really interesting part is how it gets done. Think about some of the analogies I listed--a car, a house, or a movie. Each of these is obviously the result of a long, costly, and complex process. But a striking difference is where a car, house, or movie can be made with almost no direct input from the consumer, a good website cannot be built without significant involvement from the client throughout the project. It's this difference that makes it so critical that anyone anticipating a web project be well versed in the process.
Over the next two articles, I want to show you what it takes to build a new website. This month, I'll cover the planning, design, development and quality assurance stages of a project, focusing on how it all comes together through the work of developers like us and the people we work with.
Wonderful article.! Looks like mood boards breaks down the process into small bites for any design project. Thanks!
Interesting idea, I like the concept of a more specific way of profiling users instead of just borrowing the traditional marketing plan approach to forming target profiles.
Great article. I love seeing the process from a large shop; gives some perspective to what we're doing here; ways to improve and validating what we're getting right. Thanks!
Wow! I skimmed over many of your articles and plan to read them in depth. Great writing and content. By the time I'm done, I'll have a UI degree (of sorts).
I primarily focus on visual design for smaller businesses. These businesses generally don't have large budgets. However, I believe that best practices should be the rule and I ask lots of questions to help my clients think beyond "We need a cool web site with such and such bells and whistles".
I would appreciate any advice on how to implement and maintain good UI principles when the budget is under 10K (way under 10K).
Great work and much continued success to your firm.
Chuck, That's a good article you linked to- thanks. Our process always includes mood boards. We don't break out the price and allow clients to choose a path. The only time we wouldn't do mood boards is if we decided to not include them in the process for some reason- perhaps to keep the scope narrow and work within a lower budget. But in that case, we would have very specific contractual language to keep the scope of the design phase as limited as necessary.
I read something good in another article about website mood boards from WebDesignerDepot - "Words fail miserably when trying to translate design concepts... Visuals communicate things words cannot." It's true. Why try to pitch a visual concept in a written form to get your client to buy into the design you haven't created yet? So mood boards are great at getting to the point faster. But I like how you emphasize that the strategy happens with mood boards and the production happens with the layout iterations after. Most desigers try to do both in layouts and end up redoing their work over and over again. In the WebDesignerDepot article they talk about when clients don't want to pay for mood boards. How do you handle that? Do you breakout the costs and let them choose?
Robert: Thanks for the feedback! In rebuilding the new site, we drastically reduced our use of images *and* tables. The result is a must faster load and rendering time. In the case of the main navigation though, I chose to stick with a simple table/image structure for a couple of reasons.
Since the menu system is dynamic, I wanted to utilize a little bit more control of how the columns appeared if the ordering or placement changed at all, particularly in older browsers. As for using graphics, since the menu actually serves as one of the main visual elements, I wanted it to be as consistent and attractive as possible, particularly in cases where no browser/os induced anti-aliasing was taking place. You are correct in that the same structure could have been built using only CSS, but I made the call to take the minor trade-off in performance to ensure consistent design. We are also using ALT tags in the image itself to avoid any SEO issues.
Robert: We went live with our redesign on January 12. You can read all about the process in a blog post I published that morning called How We Redesigned Newfangled.com. As for your question about why the navigation is programmed the way it is, I'm going to let the developer who built it, Dave Mello, answer. From my point of view, the new site is significantly faster than the old one, which makes me happy!
Jason: You raise a good point. I neglected to mention developer code reviews in the QA part of the article. I can only fit so much in, but it is definitely a critical piece of the QA process. Right now, our developers have a code review prior to the site going live with our Lead Software Engineer, who evaluates their work from the perspectives you listed out. We were actually discussing this just the other day, and are going to move to a new model of having developer code reviews every two weeks- on a schedule independent of specific projects- to make it more of a developer department culture thing, rather than just a step in the project process.
I see the value of having the project managers create and implement test plans. Being the most familiar with the spec makes them the most qualified to assess whether the project measures up. But what about the code itself? Who does a QA review of the code for security issues, leanness, web standards, etc.? I'm not a big shop like you all, so the biggest problem I've had has been with working with freelancers in the past and not having a way to ensure code quality, so even if a site looks great when it's first launched, it degrades fast. I've learned a ton as a result about how little I really know about code ;-) So now I depend upon other programmers to check the work in addition my own review.
Nice post, and when did you guys do the redesign? Looks great! Just curious though on the choice for navigation, use of images and a table? Seems odd, surely that could have been achieved with plain text and css. Just curious if there was a good reason for it.
Joanne: Definitely. In fact, I was speaking with one of our project managers just this morning about planning for persona development for a client that has been using their site actively for almost two years now. Specifically, this client does a lot of television advertising but has not yet focused their website on a particular segment. As a result, they don't really have any content strategy at all and are assuming that the same people that respond to a television ad are their web audience too. Our hunch is that assumptions is incorrect. The value of identifying personas is there, really no matter when you do it. It's always going to provide some insight that wasn't available beforehand.
Jeri: That's a good point, which is why the persona stuff is so critical. If you don't identify who you are speaking to with a site, you won't have any significant or accurate model for content. I'll be covering content strategy in the second part, not because it's secondary, but just because I wanted to deal with the fundamental/mechanical stuff first.
Great post, and I would love to see the same post with the addition of content strategy - gathering, analyzing, and planning for content today and into the future - at the very beginning during the planning phase. Planning, designing and developing in the absence or "real" content can result in content that simply doesn't "fit" the site, or fails to convey the message - not to mention frustrated customers. :-)
I watched your webinar on Personas and found it very instructive. Is there an application for this process if you're already way down the road on your web site development?
Justin, Shhh! Don't let that secret get out. Otherwise, what would I write about every month? ;-)
Chris, Great post! Nice to see our process so well articulated. Perhaps this will help dispel the myth that we have an extra button on our keyboards that simply says, "Make Website."

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
A Wood County woman has pleaded guilty to a charge of child endangering in the death of her infant son.
Police say 5-month-old Carter Steinmiller died of head trauma at Wood County Hospital on May 5, 2012. Carter's father Brian Steinmiller was initially charged with murder in the case, pleaded guilty to one count of involuntary manslaughter in September as part of a plea agreement. Brian Steinmiller is set to be sentenced for the crime on November 22.
Steinmiller's wife, Rebecca Steinmiller, changed her plea on one count of child endangering from not guilty to guilty on Tuesday. Rebecca was arrested after an examination showed her son had a broken arm, which the prosecutor's office says she neglected to report for several days.
Rebecca Steinmiller will be sentenced on January 28.

The Library is currently subscribed to a new database trial: Proquest Congressional Hearings Digital Collection.
In these hearings, Congressional committees assess, amend, approve or kill legislation, as well as oversee the implementation and effectiveness of previously enacted legislation falling under their jurisdiction. This database gives researchers access to the content of both published and unpublished hearings. The database consists of 3 parts – Retrospective A covering 1823-1979 (approximately 73,000 titles); Retrospective B, covering 1980-2003 (approximately 44,000 titles); and the "prospective" subscription, 2004 – present. We are trialing Retrospective B.
To search only the hearings, go to advanced search in the left hand column. Then on the lower center of the screen deselect everything other than the hearings. Otherwise you will be including in the search other congressional publications that are not part of the trial. If you wish, you may want to specify the dates of collection B (1980-2003).
As always, if this database us useful for your research, please leave a comment here or contact our electronic resources librarian.

Taylor studied classical trumpet with Dr. Robert Stibler at UNH, and there he found a mentor in the great Clark Terry, who frequented the university. In 1994 he relocated to New York City to study with trumpet legend Lew Soloff at the Manhattan School of Music. In 1997 he was a semi-finalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Trumpet Competition.
The Traditional Jazz Concert Series is co-sponsored by the New Hampshire Library of Traditional Jazz. The library, established in 1978 by Dorothy Prescott, comprises books, recordings, and memorabilia and is housed in Dimond Library.

Dublin Airport's main terminal, Lower Mount Street's office blocks, and Hume House in Ballsbridge are among the buildings identified by Irish architects as prime for demolition. However, unlike Cedric Price, most regard the bulldozers as a last resort and believe even the eye-sores aren't beyond repair.
"It's not a sustainable position to keep knocking down and rebuilding," says Eoin Ó Cofaigh, president of the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland. As much as half of all landfill waste is accounted for by demolition rubble, he notes. "We should be looking to reduce not increase that amount of waste."

We've been going back and forth over which of the Fenton/Fallon for J.Crew pieces to add to our summer jewelry rotation (although we'd gladly take them all), and we've finally decided on these dazzling earrings. They have designer Dana Lorenz' glam-tough-girl thing going on, but they're decidedly less heavy than some of her statement necklaces and bracelets. Meaning they'll look smashing the Jenna Lyons way (read: with an artfully askew chambray button-down) and even better with a slinky black maxi come nightfall. Click the image to shop.

PCS supplies our Clients with a SSN Verification Report as a value added service. Before we examine the suggested actions for employees who fail the SSN verification, we will explain what the report is and why we provide it for our Clients.
PCS uses the Social Security Administration's Social Security Number Verification Service, ("SSNVS") to run the verification checks. Each pay period, we supply the SSA with a feed which includes the full name, SSN, and birth date of any new employees or employees which had changes to these fields since the last payroll. The SSA returns the results to us and PCS supplies them to our Clients via the "Cover Letter" report each pay period. (Please contact your CAM if you are not receiving this report and wish to begin receiving it.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Since we don't send any Client related information to the SSA, this process does not generate "No Match" letters to the employer. Click here if you've received "No Match" letters and wish to know more about them.
There are many reasons why we verify SSNs for our Clients, the biggest being time and money. For example, if a wrong SSN is used for a prolonged period, the clean-up involved is very time consuming and may include multiple taxing agencies. When errors cross-over quarterly reporting periods, wage details need to be fixed, amended returns need to be filed, and W-2Cs may need to be issued to the affected employees. These changes are frustrating, time-consuming and increase processing fees.
If an issue is identified on the SSN Verification report, you must be mindful of how you handle the issue with the employee. The best advice comes directly from the Social Security Administration and can be found by clicking here. Here's the outline from the SSA FAQ:
Follow these steps for each SSN that failed verification:
- Compare the failed SSN with your employment records. If you made a typographical error, correct the error and resubmit the corrected data. If the name is hyphenated, consider trying different versions of the name.
- If your employment records match your submission, ask your employee to check his/her Social Security card and inform you of any name or SSN difference between your records and his/her card. If your employment records are incorrect, correct your records and resubmit the corrected data.
- If your employment record and the employee's Social Security card match, ask the employee to check with any local Social Security Administration (SSA) Office to resolve the issue. Once the employee has contacted the SSA Office, he/she should inform you of any changes. You should correct your records accordingly and resubmit the corrected data.
- If the employee is unable to provide a valid SSN, you are encouraged to document your efforts to obtain the correct information. (Documentation should be retained with payroll records for a period of three (3) years.)
- If you are unable to contact the employee, you are encouraged to document your efforts.
- If you have already sent a Form W-2 with an incorrect name and/or SSN, then submit a Form W-2c (Corrected Wage and Tax Statement) to correct the mismatch. W-2c services are available through BSO Wage Reporting. There is no need to re-register for your Business Services Online (BSO) User Identification Number (User ID).
- A mismatch is not a basis, in and of itself, for you to take any adverse action against an employee, such as laying off, suspending, firing or discriminating.
- Company policy should be applied consistently to all workers.
- Any employer that uses the failure of the information to match SSA records to take inappropriate adverse action against a worker may violate State or Federal law.
- The information you receive from SSNVS does not make any statement regarding a worker's immigration status.

Charlottesville City Council explored options Monday night to resolve an ongoing issue with the Meade Avenue Trail project.
The owners of Beer Run and the Meade Carlton Center are concerned the project will negatively impact their business. The project includes a sidewalk expansion that would eliminate nearly 30 parking spaces -- and according to them -- business.
The options proposed are a compromise for both the project and business owners.
"We sincerely appreciate the time and the effort put into researching the different possibilities. Businesses of the Center are delighted to see that the proposal includes moving the construction of the trail to spring 2014," John Woodruff, co-owner of Beer Run, said.
Another option also includes pulling parking from other places near the Meade Carlton Center.

NEW ORLEANS - Prolonged power outages days after Isaac struck Southeast Louisiana are sparking outrage across the gulf coast. And some customers wonder if Entergy is doing enough.
By Saturday, frustrated neighbors gathered near a downed transformer that lay Eliza Street, wondering when crews would clear it and restore power.
It was just one example of the destruction left behind days after Isaac hit, leaving hundreds of thousands of people in the dark in Louisiana. By 9:30 Saturday night, more than 77,000 people were still without power in New Orleans, a reduction from more than 150,000 directly after the storm.
Finally Saturday, a 20 man crew began fixing the pole on Eliza Street. They said it would work on it would likely be complete by Sunday.
But tens of thousands throughout the city are still in the dark. And for those like Tyrone Wilson, power is critical. His only mode of transportation is his electric scooter.
"I got to go put it up because I got no power," said Wilson. "I have no way to get around. I have to get medicine and go to the doctor. I have no way to get there."
And while neighbors continue to do what they can to beat the heat, some are watching loved ones suffer.
"I have to stand by my mom and fan her with a cardboard box until she falls asleep," said Algiers Point resident John Thomas. "She's 77 years old and its a wear and tear on me 24/7, to stay out here and hustle money to get ice to put on food and stuff like that."
Those who run a convenience store that doesn't have power in Algiers Point said, they've called Entergy daily and are told, according to grid maps, the lights are on.
Meanwhile, Jeff Hoff echoed the sentiments of everyone without power in the metro area.
"Today was miserable," said Hof.
Hof lives near a tree that had fallen across Belleville Street in Algiers Point, pushing down power lines and a transformer. Meanwhile, those who feel powerless in they hope relief comes soon.
"I just hope whoever is in charge will feel what I'm saying or just come and stay with me for one night and feel what I'm going through," said Thomas.
Entergy said it hopes to restore power to 90 percent of customers by Thursday, more than a week after after Isaac hit.

New lease of life for old Paragon Laundry site
2:10pm Thursday 27th September 2012 in Bridgwater Area News
MOTORISTS and passers-by have got used to seeing bricks piled up where a business once thrived ... but now the former Paragon Laundry site in Taunton Road, Bridgwater, could finally be on the verge of redevelopment.
Andrew Maynard, partner at estate agents Alder King, which is jointly handling the site with McKinley's, told the Mercury: "It is currently under offer and in solicitors' hands.
"We were pleasantly surprised by the level of interest.
"We were instructed a few months ago and we very quickly received quite a lot of interest and a number of offers.
"We are still getting a steady stream of enquiries. It's very positive."
Mr Maynard declined to comment on who has made the offer but said the site was likely to be developed as a mixed use, including homes and commercial units.
He said of the level of interest: "I think it's because there doesn't seem to be much availability of sites of this size in this area of town."
The laundry was destroyed in a massive fire in August 2009 but the site is still owned by Paragon.

How Do You Say "Schoolgirl" in Japanese?-------
Tokyo fashion week wrapped over the weekend. Flipping back through the shows, it's refreshing to see a city that fosters such a distinct style identity (as in, that could only come from Japan) both on the runways and in the streets. Many of the new collections nodded to the schoolgirl trend that's been popular on Japanese sidewalks for some time now, but instead of keeping it cutesy, designers gave the kawaii look more of a tomboy twist this season. At Anrealage, Kunihiko Morinaga memorably sent out uniform blazers, plaid kilts, and knee-high socks that transformed from pale to vivid pastel under the set's intense light. We also noticed riffs on the classic varsity jacket at The Dress & Co. and Han Ahn Soon.

This is okay. The barbecue sauce kind of overpowers, which is good if you like barbecue! Next time we'll try a different marinade for some uniqueness.

The National League Central is one strange place.
Exhibit 1: the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Exhibit 2: W-L and Run Differentials.
W-L Diff
Brewers 60-49 + 5
Cardinals 57-51 +51
Pirates 54-52 - 4
Reds 53-55 +40
For the most part, our perception of teams is tied almost exclusively to their wins and losses. Which is understandable, but the notion that the Pirates have fundamentally outplayed the Reds this season just isn't supported by most of the facts at hand.
Despite Clint Hurdle's very best efforts, the Pirates actually have a winning record (15-13) in one-run games. Meanwhile, Dusty Baker's Reds have been terrible (16-23) in those games. That's why the Pirates are ahead of the Reds, but don't count on this to last much longer.
Because the Reds are so far behind in the standings and the Pirates are so (relatively) untalented, the numbers suggest that the National League Central is essentially a two-team race: Brewers vs. Cardinals.
It's been suggested that the pennant races don't begin until after the trade deadline. Well, it helps when the contenders face off on the 1st of August, and that's exactly what's happening tonight in Milwaukee, where the Brewers host the Cardinals in the first game of a three-game series. Even better, tonight's contest features former Cy Young Award winners Chris Carpenter and Zack Greinke.
Both of those guys are having weird and interesting seasons. Despite pitching just as well as he did last year, Carpenter is just 6-7. And Greinke's got a 4.50 ERA despite striking out nearly five times as many batters as he's walked. But both do rank among the National League's best starting pitchers, which makes tonight's Cardinals-Brewers game the game to watch.
And this is, of course, the series to watch because these teams are both loaded with talent and should spend the next two months battling for the one available postseason berth. And it's good to see that both clubs are finally healthy, able to deploy the lineups and pitching rotations they want to.
Handicapping the race? I like the Brewers, because they've got a better rotation and because they've got that lead. Sure, it's only 2-1/2 games and could be wiped out within 72 hours. But it could also be 5-1/2 games within 72 hours, especially considering the Brewer's (apparently) massive home-field advantage. That's why even small leads at this point in the season show up in the odds.
I also like the Brewers' lineup, which can match the Cardinals' even with David Freese at third base and Albert Pujols being Pujolsian. Casey McGehee's gotta start hitting eventually, right?

The Bengals are evaluating players at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis under the premise that QB Carson Palmer will not return, making it a possibility they spend their fourth overall pick on a signalcaller.
New offensive coordinator Jay Gruden told Bengals.com that the options are still open for any position, and added, "We might not take a quarterback in the first five rounds, who knows?" But with Palmer's trade request, the story says that head coach Marvin Lewis is "proceeding as if Palmer isn't going to be (in Cincinnati)."
Team president Mike Brown is reportedly sitting in on some of the interviews with prospects, as the Bengals are one of the teams scheduled to meet with top QB prospects.
Gruden mentioned how his brother, Jon, never took a quarterback before the third round in Tampa Bay.
"Get a Matt Ryan and an Aaron Rodgers and build around him. Now those teams don't have to draft that," he said. "They can go linemen and receivers and get stronger and stronger."
With a young quarterback, Gruden also mentioned the importance of a workhorse back, like Cedric Benson, to help a young quarterback. Benson is set to be a free agent and Gruden admitted that Benson likely will go where the money is despite the fact that the Texas product had a great meeting with Gruden about his role with Cincy if he stays.
Missouri QB Blaine Gabbert and Auburn QB Cam Newton are considered to be the top two quarterback prospects in April's draft.
The way we see it
Before Palmer's trade demands, we wouldn't have put the Bengals in the "need a quarterback" category. But with the fourth overall pick, they are in prime position to take Gabbert or Newton. But Gruden was sure to keep open the possibility of any position being addressed. PFW draft analyst Nolan Nawrocki and other draft writers have projected the Bengals taking Georgia WR A.J. Green with their top pick.

What is Plagiarism?
Plagiarism is using someone else's words, ideas, or work and claiming that it is your own or failing to give them proper credit. The chart on this page explains the variety of plagiarism, which includes intentional, self-plagiarism, and unintentional.
Intentional Plagiarism: Taking credit for someone's work, when you understand that what you're doing is wrong
Using a paper from the internet
Copying someone else's paper
Copying large amounts of someone else's work and putting it into your text.
Self-Plagiarism: Reusing your own work in a diferent context
Using a paper that you've already written for a different course
Using large parts of another one of your papers without your professor's permission
Unintentional Plagiarisim: Not giving someone else credit for their work, even if you didn't understand that what you're doing is wrong
Not properly citing your sources either in your paper or in your Work Cited page
Paraphrasing a work with language that is too close to the original
Not citing a class discussion or discussion with a classmate because you didn't realize that you needed to
The Different Shades of Plagiarism
Plagiarism is not a black and white issue. While hitting Ctrl. c then Ctrl. v (that's copy and paste) is definitely plagiarizing there are more subtle forms that you should watch out for.
Top 10 Things You Need to Know in Order to Avoid Plagiarism
- Start Early - Don't procrastinate. If you have to choose a topic for a research paper or if you are assigned a topic, get started early. Consider the due date and the steps involved in completing the assignment. Then plan backwards using a daily planner. Leaving researching and writing your paper until the last minute increases one's temptation to plagiarize.
- Understand the Definition of Plagiarism - Failing to credit the author for ideas - not only the words - you borrow in a paper is plagiarizing. You have to cite the sources for every source you use.
- Understand how to Cite Sources Properly - Citing sources improperly results in plagiarizing even if you don't intend it. Make sure you know how t cite quotes, paraphrases and summaries properly.
- Use Reliable Sources - Be critical of the sources you choose. Don't believe everything you read. Look for the most reliable, updated sources. Good sources produce good information, which decreases the likelihood of plagiarism.
- Take Notes on your Sources as you do your Research - Reading and highlighting articles are the first steps in note-taking, but don't stop there. Prepare note cards of quotes, paraphrases and summaries (indicating the source) as you go along. Students who wait until they are writing their draft to take notes increase their changes for plagiarism.
- When in Doubt, Cite! - Use the correct citation and style guide for your assignment and include both in-text and a Works Cited or Reference page.
- Make your own Voice Heard - Don't worry if your sentence does not sound as sophisticated as the author's. Your instructors are interested in hearing your voice in the paper. Paraphrasing the author's words shows the instructor that you have understood what you have read. A paraphrase that resembles the original too closely is plagiarism.
- Don't Overwhelm yourself with Sources - Find out how many sources your instructor is requiring for the paper. Don't feel you need to check out every book on this topic. A good research paper simple proves its thesis with a sufficient number of sources in order to convince the reader to accept the writer's position. Create a dialogue among authors who agree. Point to authors who disagree. Using too many sources is overwhelming and may increase your likelihood of plagiarizing.
- Do your own Work - Anytime you pass of someone else's ideas as your own you are plagiarizing. This includes buying papers from Internet sources, having a friend write your paper and cutting and pasting information from other sources directly into your paper. Plagiarism is a serious offense and can result in a student failing the paper or even the course.
- Check your Work - After you have finished writing the paper and your Works Cited or Reference page, review it. Make sure that you haven't left out a parenthetical reference (they go inside the parenthesis like this in your paper). Make sure your bibliography is properly formatted.

The Lambs crashed to a heavy defeat when they entertained a very good Stockport side on Sunday.
Stockport had finished second in the Cheshire/Lancs Division One (three places above Wilmslow) so it was always going to be a hard ask.
Stockport's back division from the start showed good speed and fast hands and this was to be their main source of attack. After ten minutes they out flanked the defence to score the first of Stockport's eight tries.
The Lambs replied when a clearance kick by Stockport from just inside their 22 went over the dead ball line. From the resulting scrum back in the Stockport 22 Josh White went blind fed Lewis Beasty who put in Harry Bairstow in the corner.
Stockport dominated the line out area and scored from a catch and drive near to the Lambs line. Two more Stockport tries before half time took the score to 5-24.
The Lambs had nudged the scrummage but with Stockport loosing a prop to injury the whole of the second half had un-contested scrums.
The Lambs were first to score after the restart when Jimmy Sheridan dropped on a loose ball after a good drive from Ryan Mortimer. Kieron Downs converted from out wide.
Stockport continued to dominate and the speed of their backs was too much for the Lambs defence as they added four more tries.
In the dying minutes the Lambs seemed to rally and a chip through by Downs led to Connor Wright touching down as Stockport failed to cover. Downs again converted.
So a real wake up call for the Lambs – yes we won the League undefeated but if we want to compete with higher classed teams we need to start playing as a team and training as a team. Yesterday, there were too many players out there having a jolly – the tackling was the worst seen all season. Players should be coming off the pitch exhausted not joking – how can anyone joke when you've just been hammered?
Let's bounce back next week at Rochdale with a performance that would make Barry Greendale proud.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly was making all sorts of cryptic comments about why left-handed reliever Hong-Chih Kuo was going on the disabled list, which led to speculation that the problem could be anything from a serious health condition to a violation of copyright laws. Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times solved the mystery:
I'm told Kuo's issue is psychological. Related to the yips he had a couple of years ago.
The "yips" isn't a clinical term, but that's because know nobody knows what in the heck they are. Steve Blass suffered from them when he couldn't throw a strike, and they affected Mackey Sasser when he couldn't throw the ball back to the pitcher. More recent cases include Rick Ankiel when he was a pitcher, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia. No one knows where they come from, but the yips have derailed more than a couple of careers. The scary news -- or good news, if you want to look at his previous comeback being a reason for optimism -- is that Kuo has had them before:
Kuo took advice from his teammates and coaches. He talked to two sports psychologists. He was sent to the Dodgers' spring-training facility, where he once misfired a pitch and drilled a trainer in the neck during a bullpen session. The trainer was at least 30 yards away, walking across an adjacent practice field.
It's a rough story for one of last season's best relievers, and it explains why Mattingly wasn't exactly sure how to phrase what was going on. No one really knows what's going on.

April 16, 1980
Dear Mrs. Core,
I did enjoy talking to the members of the D.A.R. because they are interested in history.
They may be interested in the fact that the Te Deum was the first Christian hymn ever sung
in Arkansas. This was sung by the Spaniards in a formal procession with the Quapaw Indians,
who marched to venerate the first Christian cross erected in Arkansas in 1541. When preparing
my Girl Scout candidates for the Marian Award, I procured a translation of that hym and
taught them to sing it to the tune of the song which has the lines "through a long and sleepless
night I whispered your name." That song was based on the proper Gregorian Chant to sing the
Te Deum by. The D.A.R. may wish to use it in their ceremonies, as this chapter is more
exclusively entitled to it than others, since it was first sung in the province of Casquin, to
whom Aquixe (Ah-ke-so, or Ah-kan-sa) was a subordinate chief.
If you will get the material to me I will have it translated and return it to you. I have
several translators of both French and Spanish, most of whom have at least a masters degree.
I have found that the old nuns enjoy doing this work at a price I can afford to pay; they
also take greater pains to get it done accurately and are more acquanted with archaic forms.
When we run into trouble I check with the language departments of the several universities
in the midwest. Also, when the material is of exceeding importance, I have two very widely
separated and unacquainted translators work on it. Then, in those cases where the dictation
was done by a Quapaw, I go over the material with them to assure that it conforms both to the
written text and to the Quapaw vernacular.
When I inquired of the Louisisana State Historical Library at Baton Rouge they sent me the
names and addresses of genealogists working in New Orleans. I contacted some of these men
and found out that they were charging as much as $500 per. day Compared to that figure,
the $8.00 you quoted is small, indeed.
At present I am preoccupied with getting my pharmacy reciprocity to Arkansas, because Okla.
has decided to quit reciprocating with other states. So, my time is spend in collecting detailed
data of my professional background, studying Arkansas laws attendant to pharmacy, and finishing
the course for continuing education, required by both Oklahoma and Kansas. I do not know if
I will ever practice here, but I need to get registered in any case.
The Quapaw Business Committee has said that they will not back me in trying to procure a
federal grant to get the language published. They said the reason was that "your
translations" of the Quapaw personal names was upsetting people. The names were translated by
investigators, who were informed by those who bore the names in most cases, and I cannot
change these to fit the desires of their descendants. But, even if I have to go back to work
to earn the money to have the work printed, I intend to get the dictionary into print. If
you have any suggestions or ideas about how to get a grant for this effort I would appreciate
hearing about it.
Very truly yours,
Ann Edmiston
[Hanwritten notes] >Laitaanne is probably one of those terms which
incorporates both French and Quapaw words, from
La, French for "the" and Tani, Quapaw for "tobacco". The placement
of the vowel "i" is a peculiarity of the Quapaw language to separate
terms. The Tobacco Nation was Tionontati of the Iriquois.<
