submission process.
Today we're going to do PART ONE of the submission process.
The first step…
Select a story: obviously pick one that you feel is in a final version form. At this stage there should be no typos, spelling errors, or loose ends in the writing. Now get the following demographics regarding your story (jot down somewhere):
word count: most editors say you can round off, but in this age of computers I see no reason for that
genre: I don't categorize my stories, per se, but I'll keep in mind what my story feels like while I'm looking for a market
rights offered: meaning there are some mags that take reprints and some that only want previously unpublished work
Then you have to consider how much money you expect for this story, and whether you want to see it in hardcopy format or online, and whether you only want to submit to editors who will take your story through email or if you'll be willing to print and mail off a hardcopy, and how much you care about prestige.
These things will help you narrow your selection of places to submit.
Second step…
Look at some markets
On my main page here, there are several good market lists mentioned, both online and off. You may need to look at my entire list of URLs to find one you like.
Third step…
Peruse the markets : weed out ones that are obviously not going to work (more on that in Part Two).
Forth step…
Select at least 10 markets : that your story may be a good fit for.
Fifth step…
GO TO EACH MAGAZINE'S GUIDELINES: meaning go directly to the magazine's own website to double-check the submission guidelines; do NOT rely on marketlist info. If a magazine doesn't have a website, request the guidelines via post.
That's it for now. In the next installment of these articles, we'll do a walk-through with one of my stories and how, exactly, I selected markets for it.
Sixth step…
Decide who's first:
rank your 10 chosen markets in order (1 to 10) for where you want to submit to first. This is a very personal thing, usually, as some are more concerned with trying for the "big score" first while others might consider trying to "start out small" and work their way up. Others might rank paying markets as much more important than non-paying, while others rank prestige over everything else.
Seventh step…
Prepare the manuscript for submission:
meaning I've written notes for each of my ten market listings stating their particularities for submission. So starting with my #1 ranking, I do what the guidelines say. If they want hardcopy only, I prepare a copy for mail (see previous article on this subject). If they want email subs, I either prepare a file for attachment or I format the story to place in the body of an email (again, editor's preference). For this example, we're going with my story called "Connections" and we're submitting it to "Twilight Showcase". I chose that as my #1 choice based on the following facts: the guidelines make it sound like this story would be a good fit for their magazine, they pay (not big, but they DO pay), it's online and although I've been reluctant to publish in ezines… I like this magazine and being published in it would be a good opportunity to get some of the online exposure I've been curious about.
Eight step…
Submit the story:
Twilight Showcase is a good example of a mag with hard to find submission guidelines. I finally found them, after bunches of bios in the "about" section of the magazine. I check to make sure I'm doing things the way they want… then "woosh", off my story goes into submission land.
To remind you… This article is a practical run-through of the submission process, from selecting a story to selecting which magazine you'll send it to; from preparing your story to sending it off and following up on its progress.
Everyone does this differently, and I am in no way trying to tell other writers what to do. I will, however, show you a step-by-step version of how I submit a story because there may be something I do that will spark a new idea for your own submission process.
Last time was PART ONE of the submission process. We got as far as selecting 10 potential markets for the story we're trying to publish.
And now to continue…
Here's what happens after I pick places to sub one of my stories to:
Ninth step…
It's way cool if a mag sends you a note for an electronic submission…. Just so's you know they GOT the sub. Sometimes they'll even tell you about how long you'll be waiting, but often it's just an autoresponse. TS didn't want any bio info in the email and since they wanted both an attachment AND the story pasted into the body of the email, I didn't want to get chatty there. If they hadn't sent a response telling me they got my sub, I'd query in a week just to make sure they got it and it's in the sub queue. So now I log the entry in my submission tracker and wait for the response.
Tenth step …
Enjoy or start over:
Enjoy if you get an acceptance. Start over with market choice #2 if you get a reject. BEWARE of changing your story in between. This is a very bad habit of beginners. (Maybe I'll do a whole article on that subject… so we'll just leave it for now.) There is another option and that's what happened with my sub to TS… they wanted to consider a rewrite. The editor liked my story (yes, this example is taken from real life) and asked if I'd consider rewriting the ending for more clarity. I was okay with that (although it's not always worked out in the past), so I did the rewrite and resubmitted. The story was accepted and was published in the February issue of TS.
The good side: the story got read by a lot more people than if it had been published in a hardcopy magazine and I got more email from people who'd read it and wanted to comment or congratulate me.
The bad side: the issue was only up for one month and there are no archives. Basically, my story is absolute history. At least with a hardcopy mag, even if it's not on the stands or even available anymore… you can still SHOW people.
Ah well, I love the mag and I was thrilled with the opportunity to showcase my writing in it. The editor was a joy to work with and he pays his writers promptly.
They don't all work out this well. I definitely have more reject slips than acceptances, but my odds get better all the time.
Page 1
Pretend for a moment, you're in a writing group and the first lesson you have is an exercise in writing beginnings with the following instructions: Write a beginning (one paragraph) that you think would not fail to catch an editor's attention.
This should be fairly easy because you are in no way required to have any thoughts further than this first paragraph. You will not have, hanging over your head, the formidable task of conjuring a brilliant plot and engaging characters.
We're only concentrating on beginnings. They are--for the short story anyway--crucial.
A few samples to show the huge variety of techniques:
There's the ever popular… jump right into the action:
When I came out of Paradise they were shooting at me. Shotguns and pistols mostly, whatever they could grab hold of. I jumped into my old green pickup truck in the parking lot and drove off. I couldn't shoot back because I'd already pitched my .44 pistol away. I wouldn't have shot back anyway, so I stepped on the gas. Probably it was rocks thrown up against the undercarriage, but it might have been bullets hitting the truck, so I ducked my head down. (the opening paragraph of "Embers" by Fred Chappell)
Then there's the tantalizing… "I'm going to tell you something remarkable" hook:
I have had what I believe to be the most remarkable day in my life, and while the events are still fresh in my mind, I wish to put them down on paper as clearly as possible. (the opening paragraph of "August Heat" by William Fryer Harvey)
There's also the ever subtle… faint hints of description that touch the mind with foreboding:
We went up on deck after dinner. Before us the Mediterranean lay without a ripple and shimmering in the moonlight. The great ship glided on, casting upward to the star-studded sky a long serpent of black smoke. Behind us the dazzling white water, stirred by the rapid progress of the heavy bark and beaten by the propeller, foamed, seemed to writhe, gave off so much brilliancy that one could have called it boiling moonlight. (the opening paragraph of "Fear" by Guy de Maupassant)
There's the "How could you not want to know where this is leading?":
The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner. (the opening paragraph of "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson)

10 million homes upside-downby Gerry Barker, Florida Home
Bank Rate
About 1.7 million homes that were worth less than the mortgages on them regained equity as home prices rose in 2012, according to a report by CoreLogic. This is certainly another sign that the housing market continues to improve. But remember, there are still 10.4 million homes underwater nationwide and more than 2 million homeowners with less than 5 percent equity, the report shows.

Wildcats outlast Grizzlies in five sets
Sept. 28, 2012
The Wildcats were who the Grizzlies thought they were. Plus something they hadn't been, and it allowed Weber State to pick up its first Big Sky Conference victory of the season in five sets over Montana at the West Auxiliary Gym in Missoula Friday night.
In a disjointed match that largely lacked any flow, the Wildcats improved to 1-4 in league matches, 7-9 overall, with a 25-27, 25-16, 25-21, 17-25, 15-13 victory. The loss dropped Montana to 1-4 in Big Sky play, 3-11 overall.
Weber State had 15 more kills than Montana, served up nine aces and had a 15-9 advantage in blocks. That was all expected.
"I said before the weekend that they were going to block balls, they were going to serve tough, and they were going to be in your face," UM coach Jerry Wagner said.
"And tonight they added something to their game that we weren't expecting. They added some ball-handling. They passed better than I expected, and they out-dug us. We got out-ball-handled, plain and simple."
That passing allowed junior outside hitter Piper Wahlin to go wild. She entered the match with 28 kills on the season, an average of just over a half a kill per set. Friday she had 18 kills on .255 hitting.
Rebecca Fuchs had 13 kills, though they came on negative hitting, and Audrey Biggs added 12. Biggs' final two kills were the match's final two points.
The aggressive Wildcats accumulate plenty of errors every match -- Friday they had 36 attack errors and a dozen service errors -- and that allowed Montana to send the match to a fifth set, and it ended up being the tightest set of the night.
Montana went up 9-7 when junior Janele Vogt, a transfer from North Idaho College, got her first kill in a Montana uniform. Weber State answered with five straight points, the last two coming on the team's final two service aces of the match to go up 12-9.
Junior Kayla Reno ended the Wildcats' run with her team-high 15th kill of the match.
After WSU's 12th service error of the night, junior Brooke Bray and sophomore Kelsey Schile teamed up to block Piper and even the set at 13-13.
Following a timeout, Weber went to Biggs, who hit .500 on the night, and her kill made it 14-13. Laurel Bodily's serve on match point forced Montana into passing the Wildcats a free ball, and WSU went back to Biggs for the decisive kill.
Reno totaled her 15 kills on .173 hitting and matched her season high with four blocks, and Bray had another special performance in half a season of them, with 11 kills on .348 hitting and a team-high five blocks.
Schile totaled 11 kills, seven digs and three blocks, junior setter Kortney James had her fifth double-double of the season with 43 assists and a team-high 14 digs, and juniors Megan Murphey and Samantha Maas combined for 24 digs.
Montana was without the services of senior outside hitter Paige Branstiter and redshirt freshman middle blocker Capri Richardson, both out with injuries. That pushed freshman Gabby Crowell and sophomore Natalie Jones into starting positions and roles that essentially had no backups.
The pair played all five sets and hit .000 with two blocks.
The Wildcats had five of their 12 service errors in the match in the opening set, and that stymied their comeback from a seven-point deficit.
Weber trailed 17-10 but rallied to tie the set at 21-21. The Wildcats fought off two set points by Montana, then allowed the Grizzlies to go up 26-25 on a service error. Bray, who had two of Montana's three service aces in the match, finished the set with an ace.
WSU led almost all of sets two and three. Montana bounced back to hit .385 in the fourth set and side out on 16 of 18 opportunities.
"Their serving lost them the first set, but their serving is what won them the match," Wagner said. "It turned out to be a pretty good strategy.
"They don't mind making a lot of errors, and I think we helped them out a number of times as well."
Montana will host Idaho State (10-4, 4-1 BSC) Saturday at 7 p.m. at the West Auxiliary Gym. The Bengals had their nine-match winning streak snapped Friday with a 3-2 (25-21, 25-23, 21-25, 22-25, 15-12) loss at Montana State.

If you're nervously watching the clock tick away the final hours of tax day, you're not alone.
According to the IRS about 30-percent of taxpayers wait until the final two weeks to file.
And if you need more time to file your taxes most taxpayers can get a six-month extension if they ask for one, it will push that deadline out to October 15th.
If you think you owe money you'll need to figure out an estimate and send that payment with your extension or you'll risk interest, late fees or penalties.
If you owe the IRS there are payment plans available to you.
After the post office closes for the evening you will have to e-file to make the midnight deadline.
If you need an extension it can be is as simple as filling out a 4868 form.

If Sapp is cut, we suspect that he'd be signed by the Bears before his locker in Oakland is empty.
I'm not real sure I agree with the statement about Gruden having a role in Sapp's departure
Just thought this was interesting from the SPT's Bucs Blog...July 28, 2007Gruden gets visit from old friendJon Gruden got a surprise visit from an old friend recently: none other than former Bucs defensive lineman Warren Sapp. He was at the Bucs' training facility one day late in the offseason. Gruden said the two had a good chat despite Gruden playing a role in Sapp's departure from Tampa Bay.But the most memorable aspect of the visit for Gruden was Sapp's waistline."He's 288 pounds," Gruden said. "Man, he looked incredible.http://blogs.tampabay.com/bucs/2007/07/gruden-gets-vis.htmlI'm not real sure I agree with the statement about Gruden having a role in Sapp's departure. From the looks of things Gruden and Sapp worked well together and Sapp loved being used on offense which Gruden gave him the opportunity to go often in 2002 and 2003. The reason Sapp didn't remain a Buc had more to do with giving Booger the extension in 2003 instead of Warren. It was going to be one or the other, but not both in 2004.
I'm a playa from way back and playa's gotta play. I'm straight pimpin'. Southside OG's keep it real. Represent the third coast.
...unlike Rice Sapp would help him out with advice and pump him up and get on him when he messes up
Quote from: UMguy1999 on July 29, 2007, 04:58:32 PM...unlike Rice Sapp would help him out with advice and pump him up and get on him when he messes upIn past seasons Rice has always been one to stay after practice to and help work out with a young DL. He worked quite abit with Wyms his first two years with the Bucs. Maybe he didn't feel as secure in his roster place this year and didn't really want to take the rook Adams under his wing.
I want RIce on the team, but since he is gone I want Sapp back.

Phuket Top Team is the latest MMA camp to open its doors in Thailand and head BJJ instructor, Rafael Lopes, will be in action in Bangkok next month at Dare Championships 1/11.
Lopes is decorated grappler who holds a brown belt in BJJ and is a three times state champion and three times regional champion in his native Brazil. He currently holds a record of 1-0 after making a successful MMA debut in China last year and will be looking to make it two wins out of two when he takes on experienced Frenchman Yoann Gouaida on June 25th.
Although Phuket Top Team has only been officially open for a couple of days Lopes has been training hard as he looks to launch his MMA career,
"I have had no problems training or finding suitable sparring partners as I can train with Boyd, the owner, Silviu, the Sambo coach, and many other people in Phuket, there are a lot of different options here. I don't have a specific specific gameplan, I just train hard and train a lot. I am beginner in MMA so it is better to keep it simple rather than come up make things complicated with a plan," he said.
Given Lopes's grappling credentials you would expect him to look to take a fight to the floor but he has been working hard on his Muay Thai and volunteered to face veteran legend Jomhod Kiatadisak at the last minute earlier this year.
Jomhod is well past his prime but the former world champion seldom loses a fight and the fact that Lopes was able to go the full five round before losing via decision shows that there is much more to his game than just grappling,
"I like the stand up a lot now and I like to fight Muay Thai. I feel happy on the ground but I am also happy to stand up. I came to Thailand to learn Muay Thai, the first time I trained for six months and this is my second trip and I plan to be here for much longer," he said.
With a number of new promotions setting up shop this is a good time to be a mixed martial artist in Thailand and Lopes is stepping inside the cage almost straightaway. He will be taking on a well known figure on the MMA scene in Thailand in Gouaida, who used to fight for Ole Laursen's Legacy Gym before starting up his own camp, 301 Muay Thai & MMA.
Lopes's first MMA fight was in November and he swiftly submitted his Chinese opponent with a rear naked choke, meaning he has spent less than a minute inside the cage. Gouaida , by contrast, made his professional debut back in 2007 and has fought in Australia, Taiwan, China and Singapore.
Lopes will certainly have a disadvantage when it comes to experience but claims he knows absolutely nothing about his opponent,
"I have never seen him fight. This is normal for me since i came to Thailand, I just turn up to fight and see what happen. It was the same when i fight Jomhod, I didn't know who he was until he came up to me and said, 'Hi I am fighting you!'"
Phuket Top Team will be putting three fighters on the card at Dare 1/11. Daniel Mashaimate will be facing Ngoo Ditty from Tiger Muay Thai and Will Chope will be facing James Mackinnon from Tiger Muay Thai. .
With an extensive background in BJJ and a rapidly developing stand up game Lopes could be the first fighter from this brand new camp to really make a name for himself as a mixed martial artist. He can take a big step on that journey by beating Yoann Gouiada at Dare Championships 1/11 on June 25th.

Blog mob . . . ASSEMBLE!
Let's be serious - last year's bye week was a disaster of epic proportions. Penn State may have been the only team in football history to actively lose during its week off.
This week is a bit better. Outside of the Sandusky sentencing that took place on Tuesday, this week has been fairly uneventful. Penn State has won four straight games, including last weekend's stirring comeback against a talented Northwestern team. The way they are playing right now, they stand alongside the Buckeyes as the class of a weak Big Ten. Halfway through the season, it's time for a look back at the Roundtable's expectations and a look ahead toward the final six games of the 2012 season.
This week's panelists - our own Cari Greene, Zach Fegely, Peter Young, Tim Johnson, Ali Soheilian, Matthew Pencek, and LB from PennLive's 50-Yard Lion Blog, Kevin McGuire from The Nittany Lions Den, and all of the D-O-double-G's from JoePa's Doghouse!
Northwestern always plays us tough, and this year was no exception. Which of the last three meetings was most memorable and why?
Cari: It's hard to pick between 2012 and 2010, but I think I'll go with 2012 since I had the fortune to actually be in the stadium for this one. Also, Pat Fitzgerald has lost a lot of respect from me after this year's game, from his habit of standing 2-3 yards in field on 75% of the plays, to the general jackassery of his coaching staff and players in the taunting of our fans and team, to him trying to get the refs to throw a flag on BOB when he was arguing with the refs over the blatantly bullshit pass interference call to his "I'm accepting responsibility for the loss but not really" attitude in the post game press conference; because of all that, this game will be one I remember for a long time. See you in five years, Patty-if you haven't been fired by then.
J Schnauzer: Undoubtedly this one. When Northwestern went up 28-17 I thought there was a chance that Penn State could come back and win the game. I thought it impossible for them to win it with a double-digit margin. It boils down to this: in previous games Penn State won in spite of themselves, this year Penn State won because of themselves.
Kevin: This most recent victory was thrilling on so many levels, with a wild fourth-quarter comeback when it seemed all hope was lost, but if we are just looking at the three most recent meetings I still have to rank the 2010 game on top based solely on the historical significance of the outcome. Down three scores late in the first half, the way Penn State drove down field in the final minute to spark the rally that would eventually hand Joe Paterno his 400th career victory was in itself something special.
Let's dig in to the digital archives...
Peter: Not to be annoying contrarian guy, but I'd argue NW doesn't always play PSU tough. In the past 15 years PSU is 8-3 vs. spread against NW; the 1998, 2002 and 2006 were PSU blowouts; 2009 looked like one on the scoreboard; and 1999 and 2008 surely would have been had they played those years. Also, PSU has won the last five meetings by 10-plus points. But that's another discussion. Anyway, 2012 and 2010 PSU-NW both are highly memorable games. 2010 was the huge comeback from 21-0 down, equaling the biggest of the JoePa era; was essential to injury-depleted PSU's bowl hopes; and was win No. 400 for Paterno, a very special milestone. This year is memorable for the big 4Q comeback as well as being the first signature win of the Bill O'Brien era. Gun to my head, 10 years from now, I go with 2010. Even though this NW team is better than 2010.
Ali: I would say this game will be the most memorable one because this was our chance to give in and fold, or prove to everyone that this team will never be out of a game. We know we can score early in the game, we've always seen the potential in this inaugural season, but this was when it all came to fruition. This is the game that cemented a full "buy in" into what Coach O'Brien and his staff are doing here at Penn State. I have a feeling that he's going to be around for a very long time.
Rowlff Dogg: The game this past Saturday was the most memorable. I can't remember a more pumped up noon crowd than what we saw in the 4th quarter. We witnessed a team growing up right before our eyes.
Who are your offensive and defensive MVPs through the first half of the season?
Rowlff Dogg: First and foremost, I believe the coaching staff is the overall MVP. They have breathed life and excitement into a stale product, and they've done it under very difficult circumstances. No way is the old staff 4-2 right now.
The easy choices, player-wise, are Matt McGloin and Mike Mauti. Despite having a second consecutive off-game, McGloin made big plays in crucial moments. His game may never be pretty, but it's undoubtedly been effective. He has complete command of O'Brien's offense and for the most part has made the right reads. McGloin's performance is the single-most important showcase recruiting tool for the O'Brien offense. Take away McGloin (or insert a Jay-coached McGloin), and this season is vastly different.
Defensively, Mike Mauti has been a monster. It has been a pleasure to watch his enthusiasm and his nose for the football. The guy is just everywhere. I would also like to give some dap to Jordan Hill and DaQuan Jones whose play up front goes largely unnoticed in the stats column, but allows the rest of the players to make plays.
Kevin: On offense it is incredibly easy to suggest Matt McGloin has been the most valuable player. That's because he has been the most valuable player. McGloin has bought in to the offensive philosophy and prepared himself for the job as much as possible, and the results have been clear. McGloin has been more dependable in throwing and protecting the football, and he has even shown the ability to take the ball and run with it when needed inside the red zone.
On defense you can have your pick of Gerald Hodges and Michael Mauti. Both have been fantastic this season with what they have done on the field. I'll give a slight edge to Mauti based solely on his clear role as a leader of this team through difficult times. Overcoming a pair of ACL injuries and with those strong family ties to the program, I get a feel he is playing with a little more inside him with something to prove this season.
Zach: Offensive MVP: A lot of McGloin love by the other writers and I agree he does deserve a lot of attention but I think Allen Robinson or even Zach Zwinak deserve consideration as well. If I had to pick one though definitely going with Allen Robinson. He is putting up Heisman Trophy quality numbers with 41 catches for 524 yards and 7 touchdowns halfway through the year.
Defensive MVP: Toss up between Mauti and Hodges. I'll give the edge to Mauti.
Cari: I'm only going to go with offensive, because I think my stance on defensive MVP is pretty well documented.
(ed. note - uh...no comment.)
I'm going to go with Matt McGloin. Love him or loathe him or simply tolerate him, his play has been overwhelmingly elevated this year and without that, we wouldn't be at 4-2 right now (and our losses would likely have been more blow-outs). Going into this season, I was a detractor of his, and I think for the most part he's proven why he won the starting job. He's no Darryl Clark, though they've put up similar numbers, and he's not the biggest leader on this offense (that would arguably go to the mighty Zordstache) but his ability to adequately run BOB's offense has put us in a position to win every game we've been in, and will likely do so for the rest of the season.
J Schnauzer: Do I even need to say Allen Robinson and Mike Mauti? I doubt we've ever had a year where the MVPs on both sides were so clearly established at this point in the season.
Allen Robinson has had a few drops, but his ability to pull in catches when it absolutely matters has given this team the offensive lifeline they need to stay in games. He's had seven touchdown receptions in six games. To put it in perspective, here is the list of Penn State players with more than seven touchdown catches over an entire season since 2000:
Derek Moye, 2010 (8 TD receptions)
Deon Butler, 2005 (9 TD receptions)
That's it. Yes, it's a wildly (wildly!) different offense, but recall that the 2005 and 2008 teams had arguably the best wide receiving corps in Penn State history and markedly better passing quarterbacks than Matt McGloin. I look forward to seeing Robinson catching passes from a quarterback with a great arm and consistent coaching. He could blow up the record book.
As a leader and a player, Mike Mauti is possibly the most important player in Penn State history. He talks the talk, walks the walk, and the Rotary Club of Houston's snub of him for the Lombardi Award is a disgrace. The Rotary Club places this Lombardi quote prominently on it's website: "The achievements of an organization are the result of the combined efforts of each individual." Which individual in college football today has done more to make his team achieve-to draw out the best in every student-athlete-than Mike Mauti?
Is this team where you expected them to be after six games?
The Underdogs: Reasonably. Though looking at the schedule preseason (and not completely overvaluing our losses) I thought there was a decent chance we could be 6-0 at this point. We'll chalk up Ohio to a few bad bounces plus some growing pains under a new system and UVa to the losses at kicker coupled with continued adaptation to the system, new starters, etc. and yeah, 4-2 is just about right.
Tim: Record-wise, I thought this is where we would be, but this certainly isn't the road I expected to take. The season started with optimism, but as recently as after week 2 I figured that I would be resigned to the fact that it was going to be a long four years. Things sure can change over the course of a month.
LB: The season has turned out a little upside down from what I expected. With all the hype and enthusiasm that opened the season, I expected Penn State to win easily against Ohio and then go on to top Virginia and Navy, heading into the Temple game undefeated. As the season wore on, I expected the team's original salvo to fade and the players' performance to slow some. Instead, Penn State dropped their first two but have looked stronger and more confident as the season has gone on.
J Schnauzer: The off-season killed my interest in college football. I read no preseason reviews, watched no footage, and couldn't do much except read about transfers from the program. I was so angry and discouraged from what I perceived as a very complex injustice that I tuned college football out of my life. I watched the Ohio game more as an obligation rather than as a passion. Their performance changed me in 60 minutes. Yes, the final score was frustrating, but the team's never-say-die desire and emotion turned me from discouraged to determined.
This team's perseverance is more beautiful than any long pass from Geno Smith pass or bruising run from Marcus Lattimore. Penn State is far more than what I expected: they make it fun to watch college football again.
Cari: This is about where I expected preseason (if not a bit low)-but after the Ohio game, I wasn't expecting 4-2; I was expecting a defensive collapse and a .500 season, if we were lucky. My expectations increased moderately after the loss to UVA, and exponentially after our first win. I think we've gotten better each week, and that's shown in our current four-game win streak.
McGloin, Allan Robinson, Zach Zwinak, and the entire O-line have exceeded my expectations so far this year, as has the secondary (Stephon Morris, especially, has gotten better week to week, and last week especially looked good). The defensive line, while not racking up as many sacks as I'd hoped, has been what I expected, as have the LBs (both units have developed really well). Who I'm disappointed in, honestly, was Bill Belton; I'm not sure if it's due to injury or what (recent rumors are that he's still somewhat banged up), but he hasn't been the change of pace, shifty, elusive back I expected in the preseason.
Given what we've seen up to this point, what's your prediction for the rest of the way?
Cari: I'm expecting us to go 5-1 the rest of the way, with losses either to Ohio State or Nebraska. OSU, though the better of those two teams, comes to our house, where we've looked really good after the first emotional loss. Nebraska, on the other hand, welcomes us to Memorial Stadium, which should be a rough place to play. I'm expecting wins versus Indiana and Purdue, and though Iowa and Wisconsin, on paper, are toss ups, the key to those games (defensive pressure on their subpar offenses, for both games) looks to be a strength of ours this year. Plus, the Badgers are coming to Beaver stadium, which means they may actually be called for holding.
Kevin: Looking at the second half of the season I see some potential trouble coming up. A road trip to Nebraska could be really difficult, although the Huskers have certainly shown to be vulnerable this season. And Ohio State looks pretty fierce under Urban Meyer with Braxton Miller killing teams on the ground, but the Buckeyes come to State College and I think that could level the playing field. The Wisconsin game at the end does not look nearly as scary as it may have at the beginning of the season.
I think Penn State will take a couple of lumps in the second half of the year (upset alert at Purdue) but I anticipate them being able to compete in every game without question. The more wins Bill O'Brien can pile up though, the easier it may be to keep things together in the off-season and in recruiting.
The Underdogs: 4-2 to finish 8-4, right about where anybody sober probably would've predicted or not doused in grimy grips of schadenfreude (*those players must pay! says Gregg Doyel, probably). Having OSU at home and Nebraska on the road gives us about a 50/50 chance at either game. I'll say we either pull one of those two out and slip up somewhere else along the way or drop both and win the other four.
[*Side note] And pay they have. But consider it a down payment on the rest of their lives. Rather than take the easy way out (Fera exempted) or go be coddled at another athletic program, these kids chose to stuck it out, work hard, come together as men, athletes, and a team. I suspect they'll reap rewards for coming out the other side as stronger individuals and as lettermen long into the rest of their lives unlike whatever worth a possible Pac10 or Big12 runner-up trophy is worth. Although many of their wins and records have been wiped from memory and the NCAA's arbitrary record book, they are the Unforgettables.
Rowlff Dogg: 4-2 the rest of the way to finish at my preseason projection of 8-4. Trouble is, I really don't know where those losses will come. Penn State is capable of beating everyone remaining on their schedule, including the Buckeyes. As excited as I am for their progress this year, I think it's too much to expect them to run the table. At some point, a break will go against us and an injury here or there will expose some depth issues. Either way, 8-4 would be a tremendous accomplishment. The true measure of this year's success, however, will be in the retention of its players through free agency and the incoming recruits.
J Schnauzer: I think this team will end up 8-4, but I'll keep picking them to win each week.
Zach: There is no reason to think that it is impossible for Penn State to win out and finish 10-2. In the beginning of the year, I had them as a 9 or 10 win team and I am not going back on that now. Games against Wisconsin, Ohio State, Iowa, and Nebraska are going to be tough but those are winnable games. I think Ohio State gives Penn State its toughest test all season but with it being a home game and a whiteout, I really think Penn State can pull off the upset. I have them going 5-1 from here on out with them finishing the season at 9-3 and champions of the Leader's Division. Bill O'Brien also wins the Coach of the Year award.
Peter: I think 4-2 the rest of the way seems most likely barring unforseeable injuries or another Sandusky scandal (kidding!). But how exactly that 4-2 happens, I don't know, and 4-2 could become 3-3 or 2-4 very easily. The only game with a clear-cut favorite is PSU over Indiana. The others all could have a spread less than 5 points, i.e. very close. Closing out the October schedule, it has been 13 years since PSU won at Iowa (losses in '01, '03, '08, '10), and seven since the Lions beat OSU at home (losses in '07 and '09). In November, who knows what to expect from Purdue (PSU has won 5 straight over the Boilers) and Nebraska, but both surely are capable of knocking off PSU in their dungeons, and the 'Huskers offense will be a huge challenge. Then come the home finales vs. Indiana and Wisconsin, with the Badgers seeming to get on track recently but looking much more like 2007-09 Wisky than 2010-11. At this point, call for wins vs. Indiana and Wisconsin, and tossups in the other four. If PSU does actually go 4-2, and if one of those four wins is over Ohio State, then the Lions should win the Leaders Division. But that's a lot of "if"s and Nittany-colored optimism. Blame it on Bill O'Brien.
Tim: No reason to get off of the train we're on now. Every game from here on out is definitely winnable, but I'll temper my expectations to avoid a jinx. We get a signature win in the Emmert Bowl, lose to Nebraska, and drop another game to Iowa or Wisconsin for no apparent reason. Courtesy of Ohio State's last-second loss to Michigan, we're gifted the division title, which means a lot more to the program than a B1G title game appearance or middle-of-the-road bowl would in any other year. By season's end the program has stabilized, recruiting is in full swing, Dan Bernstein has been fired, and PSU fans are enjoying football in a way not thought possible a year ago.
Matthew: Channeling my inner Clubber Lang, "My prediction, pain!" for any a Big Ten defender attempting to tackle Zach Zwinak. As long as they remain healthy, I am picking Penn State to get wins against Iowa and Indiana, I think they will find a way to honor this senior class and get a win in the finale against Wisconsin. I am leaning towards picking a loss at Nebraska with the game at Purdue and the home game with Ohio State as toss ups. Add that up, and I have the Nits with at least 7 wins, which should be good enough to get Bill O'Brien the Big Ten Coach of the Year award.
Ali: I'm going with 6-0 the rest of the way because I've fully bought into this team and the product they are putting on the field. Call me blind, say I drink kool-aid, but I really don't care what you think because I'm a believer in this team. Out of the six remaining games, I would say Wiscy, Nebraska, and Ohio State are our biggest threats to close out the year. Wiscy's O-line is subpar for their standards, Nebraska doesn't have any semblance of a defense with the departures of David and Crick, and Ohio State struggles against any semblance of a somewhat functional defense. Braxton Miller is the only one that scares me, but I think this veteran defense will step up to the challenge and keep him in check.
LB: I think they'll go 5-1 from here on out. Facing Ohio State will be tough, but having a home game under the lights will boost Penn State's already strong home-field advantage and help them to a win (much like my favorite-ever game, 2005 vs. the Buckeyes). The only game I feel they may lose is against Nebraska in Lincoln, but they'll recover and win out the rest of the season for a 9-3 record.

Well, I didn't lose the three pounds I was hoping to lose by today.
I actually didn't lose any at all this week.
But I did gain a job.
It's part time working for a lovely gift shop that I adore.
Don't know when I'm going to start (hoping soon), but at least I will have something to help me get by.

Gentleman's Half Hose in Ringwood Pattern
I know what you're thinking, right? Didn't you just see a pair just like this a few weeks back? Knee socks? Really? In August? Who knits knee socks in July and August? Well, I do. And I am not alone: Christy and Joyousknits both finished this same pattern in July and Sarah started on a pair too.
These were the fastest socks I have ever knit: the pair took only five and a half days! Sadly, their rapid production says little about my speed a lot about the hours I spent glued to my books! As a bonus, I can cross off another Knitting Vintage Socks pattern: seven down, only 17 to go!
Pattern: Gentleman's Half Hose in Ringwood Pattern from Knitting Vintage Socks
Yarn: Opal Uni in #1415
Needles: US 1.5
I did not alter the pattern at all and I found it to fit perfectly. I most certainly will use this stitch pattern again; it was fast and easy to memorize, involved little purling and produced a firm and not too stretchy fabric. I doubt I will even need to run elastic through the cuffs to keep these socks up but only wear will tell. And isn't the texture of this stitch pattern wonderful?
The calf shaping briefly appeared to be too high but the socks fit remarkably well. I imagine the aggressive calf shaping placed higher up the leg contributes to keeping these socks up.
I cannot speak highly enough of this sock pattern. Leave it to Nancy Bush to use a terribly simple stitch pattern to create a snug, well shaped and attractive sock. While not too exciting to knit, this is ideal if you need a good, mindless, on the go sock pattern.
While I have more finished products waiting to be blogged, I thought I would leave you with a preview of some current work. I'm a bit disappointed that I have blogged only finished objects this summer. When I read knit blogs, I almost prefer reading works in progress posts over finished object posts, if only because I learn more from them. In the spirit of blogging WIPs as well as FOs, here are a few of the ongoing projects I have right now:
Aaron's Aran is almost to the armhole divide but progress slowed to a halt when I had to rip a few inches. My love for this project has waned a bit purely because I loathe the Addi Lace needles I bought for it. I suppose some people must like brass needles but all I smell is metal: my hands, my yarn and my needles all reek of that awful, metallic smell. Ugh! I still love the sweater so I will finish it this fall but I will never buy another brass needle as long as I live.
I cast on for a tweedy yoked baby sweater to use up some New England Harrisville yarn I bought to swatch Aaron's Aran. I will likely need to buy more yarn – so much for a stash buster project, right?
The dullest knitting project Katharine Hepburn Cardigan progresses slowly, in large part because of the painfully boring stitch pattern. The back is done and blocked but I only have half of one front done.
ONE! Fascine Braid sock by Tiennie! Go get this pattern! It's free, easy and pretty! I only wish I had chosen a color other than brown – the pattern is barely visible with this yarn.
A collection of irregular squares (pieced with scrap fabrics) for a quilt. This is a gift so I likely will not blog much about it until I finish.
Next time, there will be some more sewing FOs and a visit by Jennie!
Finished summer dresses
Now that I am officially free of the MCAT, the crafting bug has returned in force to ExerciseBeforeKnitting. I have many sewing projects to debut! This first dress is a bit delayed but you don't mind, do you?
Pattern: McCall's 4768
Last March, I was feeling a little bored of toddler sewing and anxious for summer to begin so I decided to try my first adult-sized garment. Let us just say that the only nice thing about this dress is the fabric: the sewing is sloppy, the fit is off and the pattern was tedious. Nevertheless, I am still terribly proud of it and will wear it in spite of the flaws. This garment taught me how to select future patterns, the importance of combining sizes and how a great print can hide many errors.
I learned that side darts stretching from the armholes to the hips on both sides look easier than cutting separate pieces for the top, middle and bottom, but that's a dirty, rotten lie. Not only were long darts harder, they were painfully tedious. I'm quite certain most of the work of this dress is in the darts. Small darts on skirts or at the bust are fine but I am officially done with torso-length darts!
I also learned not to cut a larger size based on the rationale that it is easier to take in than cut anew. Just because I want a dress to fit does not mean I ought to allow an extra 5/8″ at every seam just in case. With regards to sizing, I tried to get away with only using one size for the top, middle and bottom of the dress; this was a fatal mistake. After careful measurement, I discovered I need four different sizes at various points. Not two, not even three, four. This made me reconsider what kind of dress to choose. If I wanted a fitted dress, a darted, one-piece dress probably was not the best choice. For the next dress, I selected a pattern with multiple pieces so I could customize each to fit. I started this dress earlier this summer and although I had little sewing time, I snuck a seam or two in here and there. I finished this the day after my exam.
Pattern: New Look 6699
Fabric: Joel Dewberry Ginseng Collection, Spade Damask in Ivory
Since I used so many different sizes, I worried they would not join well together but I hardly noticed a problem. Modifying the pattern to fit was so easy to do and ultimately, more satisfying than cutting a larger size to (sort of) fit. But tell me, does it look like I'm wearing an evil version of the Nike swoosh? That's what I see in this fabric, although I like the overall effect!
It took me a long time to get these straps right. I still might shorten the right strap a little, as it does not feel as snug as the other one.
I was worried that the middle piece would look strange, since it is cut on the bias when the top and bottom pieces are not. I think the difference adds a bit to the garment overall, plus it makes for a more stretchy piece. My only regret is that the skirt is a smidge too big – I probably should have dropped down one size but having a little extra room never hurt anyone, right?
This is a weird angle but I wonder if this is how I look to tall people? Specifically, to Aaron, since he is 13 inches taller than me!
There may be more dresses to come but I think I will stick to faster, easier projects (like skirts) for now. But who knows? There may be time-consuming, harder projects (like quilts) waiting in the wings!
Monkey's Dress
With less than a day left before the exam, I thought I'd take a quick break from practice tests to pop in to say hello. And thank you, for providing me with plenty of quick diversions by blogging and posting your lovely photos on Flickr and on Ravelry. Whenever I need a short break, I stop and read some blogs, see out what my contacts are up to on Flickr and check email.
I have so many unblogged projects (mostly things I finished in late spring or early summer) to show you that I will probably have to break them up into several posts. Let's start with kid sewing, shall we?
Pattern: New Look 6688, size 3
Made for gimmesanity's Monkey, a brand new big sister.
This is one of my favorite patterns ever. You may recall that I used this same pattern for Celeste's sundress last fall. I also made Beatrix a dress with this pattern last summer; however, she outgrew the dress before I could photograph it. In any case, I thought it would be nice for the big sister to get something special (other than, of course, a new sibling!) And what kid does not love to twirl?
The only significant modification I made to the pattern was to omit the side zipper. This pattern calls for an invisible side zipper that stops short of the underarm. I've placed the zipper in the past but it does not add anything to the garment, in my opinion, so I skipped it.
For the new baby, I made a quick pair of booties and a stack of square flannel wipes. I made stacks and stacks of these before Beatrix was born and we still use them every day. I pulled out my stash of flannel and sewed up some more wipes for the new babe.
Finally, back in early June I made another light dress for Beatrix.
Pattern: Butterick 3782 just like the blue daisy dress I made a few months ago. I actually sewed the two dresses at the same time but this one seemed to be in the wash whenever I had a chance to photograph it. I managed to bribe Beatrix to sit still long enough to take the pictures. The bribe? A steady stream of dog kisses. Ew.
Fabric: American Jane Wee Play Ovals by Moda
While I normally use doublefold bias tape to hide my unsightly neckline and armhole seams, I decided to try using singlefold bias tape as facing. I couldn't be happier with the result! I dislike messing with linings and facings on summer dresses for a growing toddler so tape facings effectively clean up the edges without much extra work. To cotton purists, I've learned, using pre-fab tape is like lining your knits with a wool/acrylic blend; however, at the rate B is growing, the fiber content of the facings will not matter much.
Speaking of Beatrix, look who is developing some attitude! And right on time too, with her second birthday only a week away.
That's all for kid sewing. There will be some quilting, some adult sewing and sock knitting coming your way after the MCAT. Until then, wish me luck.

Your Jan. 1 editorial �A black eye for our state� was excellent. When I lived in southeast Florida, I was a volunteer member of an advocacy group for migrant workers that supported them in Palm Beach County. Some of the migrant workers were legal citizens of the United States and some others were illegal immigrants. Most all of them worked for agribusinesses and private farmers who grew vegetables, fruit or flowers.
Most all the workers that we had contact with were exploited. The owners of the farms would house them in old motels, mobile homes or sheds, which were in bad shape. Yet the workers had to pay unreasonable rates for rent. The owners also charged them unseasonable rates for trips in old buses to get groceries or clothing. In order to distance themselves from these practices, the owners would hire �crew bosses� and claimed that the crew bosses caused the exploitative practices.
I urge your readers to contact their state representatives to pass stricter laws and supply the personnel to enforce them so that such practices can be eliminated. Keep up the good work in exposing those Iowa farmers who do similar things to their farm workers.

Two guys whose careers both took a bit of a bruising in the summer of 2011 with two tentpoles that were critically reviled and underperformed, are teaming up for a project that will hopefully see them reversing their fortunes together.
Production company New Regency is getting ready to put some ink on a contract for "Battle For Bonneville," a project that has Ryan Reynolds ("Green Lantern") attached to star, with Jon Favreau ("Cowboys & Aliens") to direct. The project is a bit different for the pair -- particularly for Favreau who is pretty content in tentpole land -- telling the true story of rivals and brothers, Art and Walt Arfons, who decide to Voltron their skills, build a jet-powered motorcyle and break the land speed record three times. So it's like that scene in "The Master".....but faster.
As is usual with this stuff, this is all wrapped up nicely to present to investors, but lord knows if these guys will stay involved. Reynolds has a busy slate coming up with a role in Atom Egoyan's "Queen of the NIght" set to shoot early next year, with Marjane Satrapi's absurd dark comedy "The Voices" also contending for his attention and gearing up for a 2013 shoot. Meanwhile, Favreau was recently confirmed to helm the big screen version of the hit musical "Jersey Boys" and that's a priority project over at GK Films, and we'd wager it is for him too.
Anyway, just file it away under: Maybe and Could Be Interesting If It Does Happen. [Deadline]
E Arfons | October 1, 2013 6:46 PM
You're wrong Louise, plain wrong. They've been reconciled since the 80's.
LandSpeed Louise | October 13, 2012 4:03 PM
From what I have read about this project writer Gilroy needs to do some serious homework on his subjects, both of whom were personal friends and professional colleagues of mine.
The Arfons brothers NEVER put aside their differences. Gilroy is hallucinating to think otherwise and naive to think the families and racing community would stand for such BS in a film.

Arrest Made in Downtown Restaurant Burglary
December 4, 2013
Walla Walla Police have arrested the suspect in the burglary of Graze Restaurant, 5 S. Colville. The business was entered during the early morning hours of November 29th by a lone male. Entry to the business was made by breaking out the front door glass. Once inside, the suspect stole food items and cash totaling in excess of $750.
Surveillance cameras provided still shots of the suspect who was immediately identified as Robert W. Phillips, 48, Walla Walla. An "Attempt to Locate" bulletin was issued a short time later.
Phillips was arrested without incident Tuesday evening at about 7:30 near the intersection of 5th Avenue and Birch Streets. He was lodged at the Walla Walla County Jail on probable cause for 2nd Degree Burglary, 2nd Degree Theft, and 3rd Degree Malicious Mischief.
Phillips has been arrested in excess of 50 times since 1984 and has 45 convictions on his record. Bail was set at $100,000 during his 1st appearance on the charges in Walla Walla County Superior Court.

CARSON, CA - JUNE 03: Charlie Davies #9 of D.C. United looks to dribble the ball past A.J. DeLaGarza #20 of the Los Angeles Galaxy in the second half during their MLS match at The Home Depot Center on June 3, 2011 in Carson, California. United and the Galaxy played to a 0-0 draw. (Photo by Victor Decolongon/Getty Images)
The U.S.-Mexico rivalry is one of the most storied in modern soccer, filled with intense clashes on the field and harsh words off it.
U.S. striker Landon Donovan once peed on the pitch at Estadio Jalisco after Mexican player Oswaldo Sanchez insulted Donovan's mom. That incident was only one in a long history of bad blood between the two teams.
It's more than a rivalry. It's hatred.
Both teams are currently competing in the CONCACAF Gold Cup and could find themselves face to face once again. DC United's Charlie Davies sat down to talk about what the rivalry is like for a player.
The video is below and Davies concludes it by putting it all into perspective:
"If you can survive and get through playing 90 minutes at Azteca Stadium with 105,000 people booing you and jeering at you and throwing coins and batteries at you and with the altitude so high… if you can get through that and be successful in that type of environment, I think it's only going to help you as a player. You've been through the worst, and if you can get through the worst, everything else seems easy."

During the course of the Avalanche game, a graphic was shown analyzing the play of the Red Wings both with and without Pavel Datsyuk. That graphic eventually got me thinking about how important Datsyuk, and more generally the elite two-way center is to a team. As a franchise, I think we've been absolutely spoiled for the better part of two decades to have guys like Steve Yzerman, Henrik Zetterberg, and Pavs himself providing some of the best pivot play in the league. I'll be looking at Stanley Cup winners since the Wings won in '08 - I was going to go back further, but I've found some evidence contrary to my original hypothesis. Continue reading to see some interesting trends.
I believe that every team since those '02 Red Wings (save the Devils of '03) have had an elite two-way center that has put the team over the hump. I'm finding it is really hard to find what the team's record was without these players, so as a substitute, I will look at performances in wins and losses to determine how much of an effect he has on winning. It's the best gauge I have to go on with the limited information nhl.com provides. Also, it is prudent to note that the norm will be all players do well in wins and poorly in losses, but what sets the players apart for me will be how large those splits are. Unfortunately, takeaways in wins and losses are not tracked, which would be a more helpful tool to determine how much good defense effects the game.
We'll start off by taking a look at the 2011-2012 Boston Bruins and Patrice Bergeron. In the past three seasons, Bergeron has played in 116 wins, amassing 42 goals, 77 assists, 119 points and a +84 rating. In the same time period, he has played in 96 losses where he has piled up 16 goals, 23 assists, and 39 points with a -32 rating. He also had 145 takeaways during those three seasons. David Krejci has also had similar numbers in the past two years (minus the gaudy takeaway totals), but not in '09-'10. Playoff numbers from last year show great similarities between the two again, although Krejci managed to get more takeaways (15) than Bergeron (11) in that time. These two both greatly outperformed the highly regarded Zdeno Chara in the playoffs, who had 11 takeaways to go with 25 giveaways.
2010's winner boasts their own Selke favorite, Jonathan Toews. Toews is as good defensively as both Bergeron and Krejci combined; Captain Serious has 244 takeaways the past three years. In 125 wins, he has 66 goals, 80 assists, 146 points, and a +105 rating. In 90 losses, he has 20 goals, 35 assists, 55 points and is -41. Patrick Kane was still relatively productive in losses and had almost 40 giveaways a year to go with 50 takeaways. Marian Hossa is comparable to David Krejci of the last example in that he supplemented Toews very well both defensively and offensively - he even did well in losses. Toews remained a defensive pain in the playoffs and had only 3 points in 6 Blackhawk losses; Hossa had 2 points in those losses and Kane had 5.
I'm beginning to notice a trend that I hadn't expected here - two great two-way players get the job done instead of just one. With that, let's take a look at the '09 Penguins, with Crosby, Malkin, and Staal. Much to my surprise, Crosby's a pretty bad defensive center. He had only 114 takeaways with at least 180 giveaways from '08-'09 to '10-'11. Also surprising was that he was extremely good in wins but still really good (besides +/-) in losses. In 113 wins, Crosby notched 88 goals, 120 assists, 208 points, and was +108. In 86 losses, he scored 28 goals, 42 assists, and 70 points but was -70. Evgeni Malkin's numbers are almost the same as Crosby, including the good play in losses, except for his takeaway numbers in '08-'09. He had 94 takeaways that season and hasn't gotten close since. He also had 27 takeaways in the postseason, although his giveaways were extremely high as well in both the regular and post seasons. Jordan Staal's defensive stats certainly aren't anything extraordinary, although he seems to be the one who was contained in losses and contributing in wins.
And now to the '08 Wings and Datsyuk and Zetterberg. I don't think it's a reach to say Datsyuk is the best defensive forward in the game - he had one takeaway for each day in a year (not counting leap years) from the '07-'08 season to the '09-'10 campaign. In 148 wins in that timeframe, Datsyuk had 65 goals, 125 assists, 190 points, and a +115 rating; in 95 losses, he was held to 25 goals, 49 assists, 74 points, and was -23. Zetterberg only had 148 takeaways in that same interval. He was great in 138 wins, scoring 72 goals, 93 assists, 165 points and going +89. In 88 losses, Zetterberg only managed 18 goals, 45 assists, 63 points, and a -34 rating. Zetterberg was much better in the '08 postseason as far as the takeaway/giveaway ratio goes, which brings me to a bit of a conclusion about what the two-way center/forward brings to the equation in terms of winning the Stanley Cup.
I came into this little experiment expecting each of these Stanley Cup winners to have one extremely great two-way center leading the way. What I've found is that that kind of elite pivot really, really helps, but isn't exactly a necessary necessity. The Penguins won with strong team play more than anything else, and it shows this year without Crosby in the lineup. Boston won with a bevvy of secondary scoring and some staunch defensive play, and although having Bergeron is definitely a contributor to that, I don't know if he's irreplaceable. What I think I can take from this is that, while having a guy like Datsyuk is a huge boost to the team, it's a 23-man effort, and one player retiring or moving on isn't going to shatter a well-coached and well put together team. Datsyuk's skills make life way easier for everyone else out there, but he isn't the end all be all. If anything, those hard workers like Zetterberg and Staal are just as important to have on the roster as a Datsyuk is.
So, fret not Wings fans. Pavel Datsyuk is one helluva awesome dude, but the world won't end when he decides to hang up his skates. If this Wings roster decides to skate for a full sixty minutes, there's no doubt they will be able to hang with anyone in the league. Of course, those 100+ takeaways a season are pretty damn nice, so get that knee better soon, Pavel.

IT is going to be a long time before Tristan Orcher can get behind the steering wheel of a vehicle, after he was disqualified from driving until 2027.
In Orange Local Court yesterday Orcher was sentenced to jail after being convicted for four charges of driving while disqualified.
Orcher was silent during yesterday's proceedings, leaving his solicitor Bob Lulham to put forward his case to Magistrate Terry Lucas.
"This is extremely difficult," said Mr Lulham.
He told the court his client had made only superficial attempts to engage with rehabilitation and supervision services in the past, but would benefit from any ongoing close supervision by community corrections services.
Orcher was already on a bond for a previous offence of driving while disqualified.
"I don't see how I can get around this Section 12 (bond)," Magistrate Terry Lucas told Mr Lulham.
Orcher pleaded guilty to the offences through his solicitor, who acknowledged his client had a history of driving disqualifications stretching back to 2008.
Mr Lucas said he had no alternative other than to impose a jail sentence.
Orcher was sentenced to 18 months jail with a non-parole period of nine months and was taken into custody by corrective services officers.
He will be eligible for parole on October 22.
The Magistrate also disqualified Orcher from driving for another two years, meaning he cannot drive for 13 years.

Expecting the Paralympics to change attitudes is 'naive'
Richard Hawkes, Chief Executive of Scope and Paralympian Dave Clarke, who captained the Blind Football team have spoken about the changes they have seen in attitudes after the Paralympic Games.
Dave Clarke said that the games are not responsible for changing attitudes, "I think it's very naive to expect the Paralympics to solve the ills of discrimination and abuse."
Richard Hawkes said that small changes have been seen recently in the attitudes towards those with disabilities, "disabled people are telling us and parents with young disabled children are telling us that they are seeing small things.
"They're seeing people starting to do things in a different way. It might be lots of very small things but people are reporting overwhelmingly that they think there was that opportunity to really bring about some fundamental change."

Not to paint with broad strokes, but the Dodgers are idiots.
Yasiel Puig thought it OK to blow off a Diamondbacks legend in his own ballpark, and everyone in Dodger Blue covered for him.
A handful of others thought it OK to mock another team's playoff tradition, jumping in the Chase Field pool after winning the National League West on Thursday. And nobody thought to stop them.
Said it before: I really wish Randy Johnson would un-retire and sign a one-game contract for 2014.
On Wednesday morning, I made a case why the Diamondbacks needed to watch the Dodgers celebrate on their own field: Motivation. Incentive. A lingering, burning reminder to carry them through the offseason. How else could this team catch a cash-flush juggernaut?
I concluded by hoping the Dodgers would really pour it on. Like dancing on the dugouts. Maybe Puig would even jump in the pool. I never thought they could actually be so stupid, so classless, so ignorant.
When the Diamondbacks clinched the division in 2011, their post-game pool party was an organic masterpiece. The moment became part of the mythology of Chase Field, where the pool became much more than a sponsorship gimmick and showcase for high-dollar fans.
For Diamondbacks players, it became the reward at the end of the journey. Almost like the Pacific Ocean for Lewis and Clark.
Surely, the Dodgers were aware of the breach of etiquette. If they weren't, it's an even worse commentary on their lack of awareness, on their lack of respect for baseball history.
And now the Diamondbacks have only one option: They need to stage a high-profile draining and cleansing of the pool. Maybe even bring in Bill Murray in a HAZMAT suit.
And then send the bill to Magic Johnson.

In the pure Calculus of Constructions, it is possible to represent data structures and predicates using higher-order quantification. However, this representation is not satisfactory, from the point of view of both the efficiency of the underlying programs and the power of the logical system. For these reasons, the calculus was extended with a primitive notion of inductive definitions [8]. This paper describes the rules for inductive definitions in the system Coq. They are general enough to be seen as one formulation of adding inductive definitions to a typed lambda-calculus. We prove strong normalization for a subsystem of Coq corresponding to the pure Calculus of Constructions plus Inductive Definitions with only weak non-dependent eliminations.

RICHLAND, Wash. - Firefighters in Richland had trouble getting to a natural cover fire Frida morning.
Firefighters say it took about 15 minutes to access a remote area that caught fire near Columbia Point Marina around 7:30 a.m. Crews had to use chainsaws to cut down trees and overgrown trails in order to get their trucks to the fire.
Five units from Richland and West Richland Fire Departments responded to the blaze which burned about a half acre of land.
"Once the crews made access to the fire, they did a fairly rapid knockdown," said Battalion Chief Brenda Rogers. "It wasn't very large in size due to the thick trees, it was more of a vertical fire than horizontal."While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, firefighters say the area is a hot spot for runners, bikers, and homeless people.

Court dismisses Dow Chemical shareholder''s suit
January 12, 2010
Reuters reports that a Delaware court has dismissed a complaint by Dow Chemical shareholders that claimed the company''s board acted irresponsibly when it approved the buyout of rival Rohm And Haas last year. Dow first proposed buying Philadelphia-based Rohm in the summer of 2008 just before oil prices spiked and the economy tanked. It then tried to back away from the deal, claiming a recession was not the best time to combine two of the nation''s biggest chemical makers. At the same time, a Kuwait state-owned company had just backed out of a joint venture that was set to give Dow cash it needed to buy Rohm. Ultimately, Dow agreed to go through with the approximately $16 billion deal after Rohm filed a lawsuit. In buying Rohm, though, Dow took on billions in debt, nearly lost its investment-grade credit rating, was forced to shed several assets and cut thousands of jobs. Several shareholders claimed that the board breached its financial duties by approving the deal, misrepresented how the collapsed Kuwait deal would affect the Rohm buyout, and failed to prevent alleged "bribery, misrepresentation, insider trading and wasteful compensation." In dismissing the suit, the Delaware Court held that the shareholders did not provide enough evidence to back up those claims, and dismissed an assertion that Dow Chief Executive Andrew Liveris has de facto control of the board. Additionally, the court found that the shareholders did not show that the process to reach the deal was flawed.

Specialists at Jarvik Heart in New York are working on a miniaturized version of the adult Jarvik 2000, a heart assist device. Once research is completed, the smaller version will be used for young children with severe heart problems. The ventricular assist device will be placed inside the heart and boost blood flow through the heart and body.

A lesson for doctors from the Veterans Administration on why many of their patients may continue to have the same problems over and over again. A nationwide survey of more than 4,000 chronically ill adults found that many did not take their prescription drugs because they just couldn't afford to buy them, and the VA survey revealed those patients typically didn't tell their doctors that they passed on the prescriptions. Aside from the cost, most said they felt their doctors really couldn't help and they were embarrassed to mention the cost factor. The bottom line, the study suggests doctors ask their patients directly about medication cost issues rather than wait for patients to bring it up because that may be a real concern that never gets voiced.

The chilly advice from the docs: eat your treat slowly.
