"If a guy can't rape his wife … who's he gonna rape?" and "There wouldn't be an issue with domestic violence if women would learn to keep their mouths shut." ~ Wayne Anthony Ross, Wonkette.com
"Marital rape is so destructive because it betrays the fundamental basis of the marital relationship, because it questions every understanding you have not only of your partner and the marriage, but of yourself." ~ Hidden Hurt
"A marriage license does not require someone to submit to sexual contact on demand. Everyone has the right to say "no" to any kind of sexual contact. Forced sexual contact within a marriage or relationship is no different than if forced by a stranger."

"More than 1 in every 7 women who have ever been married, have been raped in marriage." ~ Diana Russell, "Rape in Marriage", Indiana University Press, 1990
"Any woman who claims she has been raped by her spouse has not been properly bedded." ~ Maine Legislator
"When a woman is raped by a stranger, she has to live with a frightening memory. When she is raped by her husband, she has to live with the rapist." ~ ACTA
"The husband cannot be guilty of a rape committed by himself upon his lawful wife, for by their mutual matrimonial consent and contract,the wife hath given up herself in this kind unto her husband, which she cannot retract." ~ Sir Matthew Hale, Chief Justice, mid-17th century, England
"But if you can't rape your wife, who can you rape?" ~ Senator Bob Wilson, Democrat, California, 1979

"It's a waste of the court's time to get into that area…a woman who is in marriage is presumably consenting to sex. Maybe this is the risk of being married, you know." ~ Charles Burt, President, Oregon State Bar (1979)

It's Time to Prioritize
The future of San Francisco is at a crossroads while Governor Jerry Brown's proposal to eliminate redevelopment agencies and enterprise zones threatens city plans and projects. Just recently, City Hall approved a multi-million dollar redevelopment project at Hunter's Point - which promised to create hundreds of new jobs, affordable housing and improved infrastructure for the neighborhood. It seems like once again we're back at the drawing board, waiting for the green light.
Governor Brown asserts that "redevelopment takes money away from schools, cities and counties." While we do not know yet whether this proposal will affect local projects, I simply do not understand how redevelopment projects are seen as a less-worthy recipient of state funds. Now don't get me wrong, a consistent and high quality state education system would drastically reduce my concern over California's future – but pouring more money into the system (and taking it away from other areas like redevelopment) is a lazy solution and waste of precious resources.
It seems to be a question of the chicken and the egg. Do we spend more on education to establish our future, or put money into creating jobs and affordable housing for the here and now? I don't claim to be an economic expert – but I did learn in stock market 101 a little something called diversification. Let's try it? Let's spread our scarce funds across all segments of our struggling economy and see what sticks.

|Delaying brain damage in cardiac arrest victims
|Written by APB Staff
After a heart attack victim stops breathing, a process of irreversible brain damage starts to occur within 3 to 4 minutes. What if there was a way prevent brain damage - for up to an hour? Perhaps there is. While researching cardiac arrest, Philadelphia area resident Jeffrey Dobkin, read about a boy drowning in icy waters. Although submerged for over half an hour, the boy was rescued, resuscitated, and recovered completely. No brain damage.
Dobkin wondered how someone can drown, be completely submerged for over 30 minutes, then resuscitated and yet experience no brain damage. What is it that delays brain damage in cold water drowning victims? Can this be applied to heart attack victims? His research pointed to yes. Dobkin's research showed the injury that occurs to the brain from lack of oxygen (anoxia) can be delayed for up to an hour by triggering an all-natural oxygen-conserving reflex that occurs in all mammals, called the Mammalian Diving Reflex.
"The triggering of the Mammalian Diving Reflex," says Dobkin, "allows cold water drowning victims to survive for a greatly extended time period without brain damage. This oxygen-conserving reflex is responsible for delaying brain death in cold water drownings. The best news is that the specific trigger point of this reflex is the application of cold water to the face - and in particular the eyes - of the victim."
Based on his research on delaying anoxic brain injury, Dobkin advocates a simple technique to trigger this delay of brain damage in victims of cardiac arrest by immediately applying cold (58 degrees or colder) wet compresses to the face and eye area of the victim. The Dobkin Technique is an emergency time-buying procedure to delay brain damage until emergency medical personnel arrive. It works by itself, or in conjunction with CPR. Compresses are left on the victim's face and kept cold until full resuscitation efforts can be initiated by medical personnel.
The Dobkin Technique immediately starts to delay brain damage and gives emergency medical personnel a much greater window of time to respond to non-breathing victims before brain damage starts to occur. His technique works whenever the oxygen supply to the brain is shut off (Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy) such as cardiac arrest, drug overdose, choking, warm water drowning, stroke, sleep apnea, SIDS, suffocation and electrocution.

Stanley Park Pavilion
The World > North America > Canada
Stanley Park is recognized around the globe as one of the great parks of the world! Vancouver's first park and one of the city's main tourist attractions, Stanley Park is an evergreen oasis of 400 hectares (1,000 acres) close to the downtown core. Its natural west coast atmosphere offering a back drop of majestic cedar, hemlock and fir trees embraces visitors and transports them to an environment rich in tranquility.
The pavilion is located near the Stanley Park Rose Garden and is also close to the Vancouver Aquarium and the totem poles at Brockton Point.

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.
While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.
On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..
When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?
But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).
Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.
Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).
But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore.
"It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, Vancouver

Rated 4.3 out of 5�by 28 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by GH from Alexandria Gun Safe won't open after less than two years! Don't buy it! I bought this safe from Dick's about a year and a half ago. Now it won't open after regular use. I have to spend $300 to have the safe drilled to get my guns out and I can't get any response from the manufacturer to honor the warranty. Now I have to buy another safe and I will not buy another Field & Stream or Stack-on product after this experience. June 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by racecar 43 Very Good Buy This safe is a great buy. Bought it at Vernon Hills store. Ken was very helpful and knowledgeable about the product. With friends and family discount coupon and taking out a Dick's charge paid just $405 for it. Fit is very good and the shelves fit level. I was going to get the 10 or 14 gun safe but this one affords more room and fits my needs perfectly. With three guys it was fairly easy to move. Picked it up myself and brought it in the house. Great safe for the money spent. May 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by GRW SAT Gary - SAT Just like everyone else said, good safe for the price but the shelves are not level March 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Russ I Now Have 2. It's a good fire safe that Dicks will promote from time to time at a great price. Yes, the shelves sometimes are not perfectly level, but, we humans are creative, get something like washers and ducttape and put it on the bottom of the shelf! You can do what i did in 5 minutes to the couple of them. Its a very simple shelving system. It's heavy, the combo works like the one you had for your locker in high school, always works. It comes with anchoring bolts to screw it to the floor. We use them for more than ammo rifles and pistols. The door is heavy and secure. Only issue with me is, why not make these in the USA? Got to be expensive to ship these from China. February 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by gary1 a great buy its a great price easy to put where you want it. the inside is easy to put the shelfs where you want them. good for guns and papers you need safe. the person at dicks sporting good was a great help when showing it to us. January 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Sean Great safe I originally bought the 10 gun safe since i only had 4 long guns and a few pistols. i couldn't get my two shotguns and two rifles to sit in it correctly so i brought it back a week later and got this. so far i'm very pleased with it. almost the same weight, 5" deeper, and 5" wider. everything fits perfect. you can also have something hang off the shelf a little and it won't hit the door. something you can't do with the 10 gun. save the extra $100 and get this on over the 10 gun. you won't be disappointed. January 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by NGM5321 Good Safe I was looking for a decent safe but didn't want to spend a large sum of money. It's not your top of the line safe, but it will do the job. It does exactly what I need it to do. The only issue I had was the same as some other previous reviews had mentioned. The shelves are a little uneven. It is a heavy safe as well. Make sure you have some friends around to help you out. Don't try to move it up stairs by yourself like I did. All in all, I'm happy with this purchase. January 16, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by collin84 New Safe Got it home, unpacked it, loved it until I had the same issues Chuck stated: the shelves are not level and never will be as the runners on the sides aren't. The shelves them self are also cut too small. about 1/4" room on both sides. A .22 shell would fall through. All and all it's a safe and will do the job. It's heavy as all get out, and was a trip getting it up some stairs. You either have shelves on one side, cutting your gun holding to 8 or you don't use the shelves and you can fit 16. December 31, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5�by chuck Shelves are out of level. Just bought a Field and Stream Sportsman 16 Gun Fire Safe. After getting it home into the house and tucked neatly into a closet, I began to set the shelves in place. The floor is level, the top of the safe is level, but the shelves will not become level. The standards that were installed were out of level with one another by 3/8 of an inch across the 10.25 inches left to right for all shelves. Contacted F&S/Stack On via their site email - 2 weeks no reply - disappointing. December 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Chump Good Safe I was very pleased to find a moderately-sized fire safe for such a decent price. This safe has good fit and finish (not to a level I'd call refined, which I'd expect of higher-priced safes) for its price point, which makes it an excellent value. I opted for the white glove delivery service, and aside from a very broad time frame, the service was great. I'd like it if Dick's would list more detailed dimensions. I needed the safe to fit into a small area, so the difference between carcass depth and overall depth (including the combination dial) makes a difference. I had to hope for the best, since no one at Dick's could tell me what the listed "depth" pertained to, even suggesting that the dimension for depth referred to interior depth. Packaging dimensions and weight would be great, too, since it can make a difference for delivery. August 30, 2013

An entire chapter in my book, Up Your Business, addressed the dangers of entitlement within organizations and offered remedies for weeding it out. In If You Don't Make Waves You'll Drown I presented ten strategies to combat the negative impact political correctness has on high performance business cultures. After watching trending cultural currents in recent months I am presenting additional strategies to explain how to survive and prosper despite the encroachment of a force as atrocious as either entitlement or political correctness: a potent mix of bitterness, envy, and resentment projected against financially prosperous entities by a swelling number of malcontents I'll classify as the "ashamed generation." Following are background observations that relay the evolution of this unsettling phenomenon. Afterward, I'll present tactics to prevent its influence and values from infecting your culture.
To those caught up in the entitled, bitter, and envious mindset that pervades the ashamed generation, I suggest the following:
To those endeavoring to thrive in their business despite the assault of the ashamed driven generation's mindset and its potential to affect morale at all levels within your organization, consider the following.
The cultural currents and trends in society surrounding your enterprise will adversely influence and infect your culture unless you take deliberate steps to protect it. If you fail to shape your business culture according to personal values and standards, society's values and trends will shape it for you—to your great disgust and peril.

Thank you Larry. Good to hear from you! Hope all is well.
These concepts should be taught in every school in the U.S. We need to become a "merit" society not an continue to train our kids to foster the "entitlement society." We all appreciate your insightful articles. Happy Motoring!
Brutally honest...as usual. #1 of the last set has me reflecting. Thank you.

- December 11, 2012 - We are two months in to our second school year at MIDS. I am overjoyed at the academic and social progress for my daughter. She continues to read above grade level in BOTH languages and has truly embraced the Spanish language. The teachers are fabulous and Ms. Esther is committed to developing well rounded students. - Posted by Parent
- October 27, 2012 - I entered my child fall 2012. Best decision I could have made. He is K. In 5 wks is reading, spelling and has an amazing Spanish vocab. He also is learning cursive. The teachers are loving, compassionate but no nonsense. The older students nurture and help the younger kids. The parents are very active. The new facility is clean bright and inviting. I''m all smiles when I see how much my child has grown academically , socially, and culturally. - Posted by Parent

Mark Few- Drops to 24-45 against top 25 teams.
On the surface this is unsettling but after you think about it for a while, does Mark Few really get good enough players to do better against the top 25? In Mark Few's defense, Gonzaga has not produced 1 NBA starter during his tenure. Sure we've had some guys start on occasion due to injury, but nearly every one of Gonzaga alumni has been a role player at best and even more commonly an NBA fringe level talent. So I can't hate on Mark Few for never getting to a final four,because he's never had good enough players such as a Gordon Heyward or a Shelvin Mack to do so. Except maybe the JP Bautista Adam Morrison Derek Raivio team, I was there at Oracle in Oakland to witness that epic collapse, but I should point out that 5 players from that UCLA team went on to play in the NBA.
A more likely explanation for this is our lack of recruiting. Although it is picking up lately, I still find it surprising the lack of top recruits we get, considering we make the tournament and are in the top 25 every year. Off the top of my head I think we've only had 1 top 50 recruit? Obviously I don't think Mark Few is without fault, but more on that later.
Barham-Pangos-Bell-Stockton-Dranginis- Combined for 113 minutes and scored only 12 points, which would have been only 10 points had Karnowski stayed in the game to shoot his free-throws.
Coleman- Played only 15 minutes and scored the same amount of points(12)
Barham- His role on this team is becoming pretty clear, hit a 3 and you stay on the court, if you don't shoot or you miss then you're coming off just as fast.
End of the shot clock- Who exactly do we want with the ball with the clock winding down? We can do the 3 man weave for only so long and pass around the perimeter until the cows come home, but eventually we have to do something with the ball. I'm of the mindset that the more time you run off the shot clock the greater the chances you have of getting stuck with a crappy shot. I mean we have 35 freaking seconds to get a good shot, this isn't the NBA and we're only getting 24. Too often we pass around the perimeter until we're stuck with only 7 seconds left on the clock and we have to rely on either Pangos' or Stockton's isolation game, which is a horrible idea.
Never a press? Besides the final minutes of the games in which we're losing, why does Mark Few refuse to press? Of course the easy answer to this is that he plays his guards so many minutes that he doesn't want to exhaust them by asking them to press. Or possibly he doesn't think Karno and Dower have the footspeed to cover the backend of a press? But with our limitations I think it at least makes sense to do some experimenting and see if we can create some turnovers and easier scoring opportunities. I think Few would be using his personnel wisely if he tried mixing it up and pressing with Bell, Nunez Dranginis and Coleman.
Kevin Pangos- I know I'm not the only one who shares this sentiment, but he really needs weeks off to heal. He has been horribly inefficient on offense, and I believe his minutes would be better served on fresh healthy bodies(Coleman, Dranginis, Nunez). A Pangos playing at this level gives us no chance at March success, which is why we need to give him weeks off so he can come back at close to full strength for the WCC tournament.
David Stockton- Averaging more minutes than both Karnowski and Sam Dower at 28.3 minutes per game. I'm guessing this might have to do with foul trouble or maybe conditioning?? Even Kelly Olynyk and Elias Harris played less minutes than Stockton has this year.
Rebounding- Karnowski and Dower are average rebounders at best. Does it make sense for us to put 3 small guards in our starting-lineup to go along with them? Couldn't we try Bell running the point and Nunez playing his natural 3 position just to see what would happen? Or even Bell to go along with Coleman and Dranginis. I guarantee we would be better on defense and on the glass. And I promise our ability to create on offense wouldn't be effected 1 bit.
Final 10 minutes of a close game- Mark Few almost always goes with a 6 man rotation regardless of how well it's working. Also rarely straying from straight man defense, of course this is because defending and rebounding with Stockton Bell and Pangos in a zone can be a potential nightmare. Also when we have small leads we tend to get really conservative and run the shot clock down, this is fine in some instances, but it is a recipe for disaster when the ball is left in Stockton or Pangos' hands with under 10 seconds in the shot clock. None of them really have the ability to get a good shot for themselves or somebody else with such little time on the shot clock. If we had an elite nba level talent with the ball then it would make sense to do this, but I think we need to take whatever good shot we can get as soon as we can get it.
Karnowski- The stat line vs Memphis didn't do him any justice. I lost track of how many times he altered a shot. He covers up for so many of our deficiencies that I can't imagine being without him against elite competition.
Dower- The 1 guy we can count on to score no matter where or who we are playing. As long as Dower and Karnowski are on the court we have a chance to win. Although defensively he is mediocre, you have to admire his efficiency on offense as he is the most efficient player on the Zags. I also think he should be shooting a few more 3 pointers. As he is often much more open than Bell Pangos and Dranginis and seems to shoot just as well.
Weaknesses-I think anybody following Gonzaga will point out that we are in big trouble when we aren't getting easy looks from the perimeter. This really puts the burden on our big men Karnowski and Dower to pick up the slack. Josh Pastner of Memphis said he was ok with Karnowski getting 64 points as long as we weren't getting any open 3-point looks, and he nearly lived up to his word. Against teams with athletic guards there is a huge amount of pressure on Dower and Karnowski. The blueprint is, don't let Pangos and Bell open for easy 3's, close out on them, make them put the ball on the floor, take the guards out of the game and make the big men earn their points. This means that Karnowski will be put into huge pressure packed situations in which we will be dependent on his ft's.
Tournament play- I have to give Few some credit for 14 tournament wins, but we've had as many disappointmens as we've had upsets. For instance last year, we had 2 NBA players on our roster, and we came very very close to losing our lead late in the 2nd half to a 16 seed!! And our whole roster was in tact, the next game as you know we also blew a substantial 2nd half lead to Wichita and lost the game. I can also point to losing our big leads against Western Kentucky as a 4 seed with our loaded roster, Texas Tech, UCLA, and other games when we get blown off the court, (UNC, Syracuse, Nevada, BYU)
Conclusion- Maybe I've gotten jaded with the program, our seasons typically end in the same fashion, I just want Mark Few to start experimenting more and if it comes at the expense of a few wins every year then so be it. I want to run a full court press, I want to play a game in which we use 50 percent zone, I want to play a game where our bench is used throughout the whole game, where 8 guys are getting 20 minutes. I don't want the outcome of our games to be so predicated upon getting wide open 3 pointers. I think it's obvious that the talent level of our team is head and shoulders above the rest of the WCC, but I also think that the skillsets of our players is so diverse that we can afford to experiment with different ways of winning. We don't have to run Pangos and Bell into the ground and play them 38 minutes because we have other guys that are nearly as good. I just hope that Few can trust that we can win with other players getting more minutes. Whatever the case may be, I hate sitting back in conservative mode and just running down the clock and letting teams back into games.

FAA Launches Second Phase of GA Airport Study
The FAA is continuing to refine its categorization of the nearly 3,000 GA airports around the country, picking up where it left off in last spring's General Aviation Airports: A National Asset. That study identified the many functions airports provide, among them medical transport, search-and-rescue, disaster relief, aerial firefighting, law enforcement, remote community access, flight training and air cargo. Considered a tool to assist the agency and state aviation authorities in planning decisions, the study reflected current aviation activity at the airports. In examining the critical and diverse roles airports serve, last year's report determined four airport categories: national, regional, local and basic, driven by the number and type of based aircraft, number of passenger boardings and types of flights, yet more than 500 of the airports did not fit clearly into any of those categories. This latest effort will work at defining an appropriate category for them.

London: Scrunchies, stone-washed denim, and Reebok classics – it was a 90s revival at Ashish. For his muses, he chose math geeks, who were "more concerned with quadratic equations than the number of ply in a cashmere sweater." To illustrate their devotion to arithmetic, numbers were embroidered onto white button-up shirts and baggy jeans. The designer incorporated his signature sequins for many looks, putting his own spin on the retro styles. Asymmetry was a key element; some garments were slashed vertically and reattached with contrasting material, resulting in light denim pieced with black sequin-encrusted material or heather grey jersey. Collars, sleeves, and hemlines were purposefully uneven, giving the collection a charmingly off-kilter feel. –Joanna Manganaro

A Gulfport man spent the New Year in jail after being arrested on December 27 and charged with cultivation and possession of marijuana.
Gulfport Police Chief Leonard Papania said officers were called to the home of Steven Ray Schreider, 56, to investigate a suspicious open door. Schreider was not home when authorities checked the house and found marijuana inside.
The Gulfport Police Department Narcotics Division returned to the house with a warrant where Sergeant Damon McDaniel said an elaborate grow house was discovered.
"It was a normal house with a few rooms that had growing stuff in them," said McDaniel.
Schreider is currently being held at the Harrison County Adult Detention Facility on a $10,000 bond.

Ever struggle so hard on what to get for your mother on Mother's Day? Struggle so hard that slamming your head a couple of times against a wall just for inspiration became a viable solution? Nothing ever seems good enough because we all know that our mothers are one of the nearest and dearest companions we could ever ask for in life. Yes, the time has come my friends! Let us joyously bloody those walls in celebration of honoring mothers all around the world. Each splat of blood is worth it when it comes to my mother.
Let me describe my mother to all of you. She's motivational, influential, caring, overly considerate, loving, nurturing, has the heart of gold, sly, brilliant, beautiful, fashionable, ageless, classy, and priceless. I know what you're all thinking, "Is she human?" Well, I wonder sometimes. So what do you get a woman you've known all your life? I was planning on the typical flowers and a stylish handbag, but the urge to shock my mother just sprung out. It was not a smart idea if I might add because who would want to blind their mothers?
Happy Mother's Day mom! Let me hold your gift up to the sun with an exuberant amount of cheesy exaggeration so that I can blind you with it! Just hold this Michael Kors "Grayson" bag up in the sun and let the bag do its job. The dramatic mirror finish seems like a little bit too much, but at the same time it's just enough to add shine to anyone. It has a cell phone pocket and key clip (my mother is a serial key tosser) just in case you are the type that will lose your keys after tossing it anywhere. It only costs $298 at Nordstrom's so why not blind our mothers together?

Event: WEC 48: Aldo vs. Faber
Date: Saturday, April 24, 2010, at 9 p.m. ET on Spike, 10 p.m. ET on PPV
Jose Aldo vs. Urijah Faber
Luke Thomas: I don't see this as a brutal first round stoppage. Faber is trying to serve two masters: wild engagement mixed with accuracy on his strikes. His newfound focus on accuracy hasn't changed his game, but it'll keep him in the fight for much longer than some expect. That being said, he's going to get tagged. Over and over. Eventually his fast and loose style is going to be exploited by Aldo, whose ability to pinpoint strikes (punches or knees) with reflexive speed is unparalleled. Faber won't go quietly, but he'll go. Brutally. Aldo by TKO.
Kid Nate: Aldo is just too much for Faber on the feet, but if anyone can get the fight to the ground it's the California Kid. Nevertheless, I think Aldo will survive off his back easier than Faber will on his feet. It'll be bad news for the WEC, but Aldo by KO.
Brent Brookhouse: I don't know, I just don't see how everyone is so ready to write off Faber. He's certainly not a pushover and he is very experienced. I don't think that Faber wins this but I don't think he gets blown out in a round either. Look for both guys to have decent moments through the first two rounds and Aldo to catch him in the third. Jose Aldo by KO, round 3.
Michael Rome: I am expecting this to be exciting, but one sided. It's hard for me to shake the feeling that we've anointed Aldo too quickly. Down in these divisions it's really unclear who the best fighters are; it was just a year or so ago that everyone thought Torres was the king at 135, and now he looks like he's middle of the pack. That being said, I think Aldo has more weapons and will win via KO. Aldo via KO, round 2.
Mike Fagan: I think this will end up as an absolute curbstomping. Maybe I'm drinking the Aldo Kool-Aid hard, but Faber's going to have to expose some flaw we haven't seen from the champ. Jose Aldo TKO, round 2.
Nick Thomas: Faber is fast but Aldo is faster. Aldo will end this on the feet. Aldo by TKO.
Chris Nelson: Somewhat flummoxed by this fight. I don't believe it'll be a carbon copy of Aldo-Brown, since a 100% Faber brings all sorts of wrestling-related problems to the table. At the same time, the "California Kid" has also proven himself succeptible to hard, accurate shots, and Aldo's got those in spades. And despite the fact that we haven't seen him there often, Aldo's no slouch off his back, either. In the end, I think this goes the way everyone's expecting, but it won't be a cakewalk. Aldo via TKO, round three.
Leland Roling: Aldo is way too explosive and accurate in his attacks on the feet, and I think Faber knows it. His gameplan will rely heavily on whether he can bring this fight to the ground, and Aldo showed that he's tough to take down in the Brown fight. I think Faber will eat way too many punches for his efforts. Jose Aldo via TKO, Round 2.
Ben Henderson vs. Donald Cerrone
Luke Thomas: A battle of durability. Two fighters who are very, very difficult to put away. Still, the one with more resiliency in the face of attack is Henderson. I'll side with him. Henderson by decision.
Kid Nate: Henderson escaped certain defeat several times in their last bout. Normally in a rematch of such a close fight, I'll pick the man I think is the better athlete. But in this case, their skill sets are so asymmetrical that it's hard to decide who is the better athlete. My fall backs are who has the better camp and who is younger? Cerrone definitely has the better camp -- Greg Jackson -- but Henderson is younger. Hmmm, coin toss says Henderson by decision.
Brent Brookhouse: I'm not a huge fan of either guy but they both put on an exciting show the last time out. Cerrone has the better chance to finish, Henderson has the better chance to outwork en route to a decision. It's not an easy call but I have to go with Henderson to take another close decision win over Cerrone. Ben Henderson by decision.
Michael Rome: Loved their first fight, but I don't see Henderson surviving so many scares again. Going to go with Cerrone via submission, round 3.
Mike Fagan: Something rubs me the wrong way about Henderson every time I go to pick a fight. Then he gets into the cage and wins somehow. Cerrone should be a cinch if he's shored up his takedown defense, but I have a feelilng he hasn't. Benson Henderson by submission.
Nick Thomas: Henderon will take down Cerrone at will but I think Cerrone can lock onto something this time around before the end of the 5th round. Cerrone by submission
Chris Nelson: I must confess that neither of these guys (plus Jamie Varner) particularly excite nor intrigue me. I guess it's kind of entertaining to watch Henderson get caught in submissions over and over, then have to pretzel his way out of them, but I think Cerrone gives him the "tap or snap" ultimatum this time out. Cerrone via submission, round two.
Leland Roling: Cerrone really needs to show some improvement in his ability to keep Henderson in his guard. I doubt Cerrone has improved his takedown defense as he did sink multiple submissions in their last encounter. He really needs to limit Henderson's ability to stand up out of guard and rain down punches. Cerrone should be better standing, and I think he'll start strong in this fight if his camp is accurate in his improvements. Donald Cerrone via decision.
Mike Brown vs. Manny Gamburyan
Luke Thomas: I think Brown is going to smash him. Brown via TKO.
Kid Nate: Bad matchup for Manny. Brown will stuff the takedown and hurt him on the feet. Brown by TKO.
Brent Brookhouse: Yikes, this is a bad fight for Gamburyan. He's a tough guy but he's just not as good as Brown. Brown by TKO, round 2
Michael Rome: This does not look like a difficult fight on paper for Brown. He should be able to sprawl and brawl his way to a stoppage. Brown via TKO, round 1.
Mike Fagan: I guess they're setting Brown up for Aldo II or Faber III. I don't think they're going to get Shields'd here. Mike Brown by decision.
Nick Thomas: Brown has Gamburyan beat in every facet of the game as well as being bigger and stronger. Brown by decision.
Chris Nelson: Just about the worst matchup possible for Gamburyan. Brown via TKO, round one.
Leland Roling: Gamburyan has a chance if he can get a takedown and keep Brown down, but I highly doubt he'll be able to do that without eating a heavy combination of punches. Mike Brown via TKO.
Anthony Njokuani vs. Shane Roller
Luke Thomas: Roller is too aggressive for a pinpoint striker like Njokuani. Njokuani by TKO.
Kid Nate: Roller is another one of Team Takedown's wrestling thoroughbreds. So far I've been less than impressed with the schooling their guys are getting in the other facets of MMA. Njokuani is no joke. Njokuani by TKO
Brent Brookhouse: Anthony Njokuani is on the short list for my favorite guys to watch fight. He has legit power in his kicks and both hands. His right hand just crumples people. Think about all the wars Chris Horodecki has been in. He's been in some really tough slugfests in his career. Against Njokuani he RAN AWAY. Roller is a good fighter and the possibility exists that he can get the fight to the ground enough to win, but Anthony looks to have shored up his takedown defense, he is huge and strong and he has that Aldo-esque "KO at any moment" vibe. Roller's stand-up is also pretty hole-y. Anthony Njokuani by KO, round 1.
Michael Rome: Brent turned me onto Njoukani and now I'm a big fan of his. All he needs is work on defensive wrestling, because he has something rare at 155: serious power. Njoukani via TKO.
Mike Fagan: Granted, Chris Horodecki is small at 155, but Anthony Njokuani looked huge in that fight. Goddamn. This should be a good fight between guys who have lost to the two top guys in the WEC's 155. I like the Nigerian. Anthony Njokuani by TKO, round 2.
Nick Thomas: If Njokuani keeps this standing, he has a great shot of stopping Roller. Hopefully Njokuani has evolved enough to stop a takedown or two. Njokuani by TKO.
Chris Nelson: As much of a joke as its become, "explosive" really is a great adjective for Anthony Njokuani. Roller's only real chance here, as I see it, is catching an early guillotine, but I don't think Njokuani will even get close enough for that to happen. Njokuani via TKO, round two.
Leland Roling: Interesting that Roller was the favorite here by oddsmakers. I think Roller is being slept on a bit, but he's shown some awful stand-up in past fights. Njokuani could crush him pretty quickly if he can avoid the takedown. Anthony Njokuani via TKO, Round 1.
Scott Jorgensen vs. Antonio Banuelos
Luke Thomas: The two are similar fighters, but Jorgensen has been more active and tightened up his liabilties far more than the reckless Banuelos. Jorgensen by TKO.
Kid Nate: Jorgensen continues to impress. I thought he beat Banuelos the first time, this time I expect him to put an exclamation point on it. Jorgensen by TKO.
Brent Brookhouse: No doubt in my mind Jorgensen won the first fight, none in my mind that he wins this one too. But he's not letting the judges have anything to say about it this time around. Scott Jorgensen by TKO, round 2.
Michael Rome: I think Jorgensen is a good prospect, and I had him winning the first fight. He should do it again here. Scott Jorgensen via decision.
Mike Fagan: I think I had Jorgensen winning the first fight, and I see him redeeming himself here. Scott Jorgensen by decision.
Nick Thomas: An interesting rematch here. I have to go with Jorgensen, he's been a beast lately, but I don't think he can stop Banuelos. Jorgensen by decision
Chris Nelson: As pretty much everyone else has noted, Jorgensen really won the first meeting between these two. This time, I don't think he leaves it in the hands of the judges. Jorgensen via TKO, round one.
Leland Roling: Jorgensen needs to nullify Banuelos' footwork in this fight, and he's shown some better footwork and punching in his last few fights. He should be able to edge out Banuelos "once again" in this rematch. Scott Jorgensen via decision.
Preliminary Bouts (On Spike TV):
Leonard Garcia vs. Chan Sung Jung
Luke Thomas: I actually think Garcia's power won't be enough. CSJ by decision.
Kid Nate: I have some hopes for the Korean Zombie, but Garcia is fairly deep water for your first taste of the WEC. Garcia by TKO
Brent Brookhouse: I'm no Garcia fan. As much as I'd like Jung to win I just don't see it. Leonard Garcia by TKO, round 1.
Michael Rome: Leonardo Garcia is a solid gatekeeper and I see him keeping Jug out. Garcia via TKO, round 2.
Mike Fagan: Beat up a Japanese import and a MMA vet, and all of a sudden your hot stuff. Garcia's fallen back to earth, but he should be able to take the Korean here. Leonard Garcia by TKO, round 1.
Chris Nelson: The "Korean Zombie" is a nightmare for Garcia: he's got serious power, solid sub defense and he can take a punch like nobody's business. Jung via TKO, round two.
Leland Roling: Garcia's heavy hands could put Jung down for the count, but I like Jung's well-rounded abilities. While he isn't the most technical striker in the world, he is rather aggressive, and that could pay off. Chan Sung Jung via decision.
Alex Karalexis vs. Anthony Pettis
Luke Thomas: Pettis is going to smash him. Pettis by KO.
Kid Nate: Pettis has a future in MMA. Karalexis, not so much. Pettis by submission.
Brent Brookhouse: This is a "get some exposure" situation for Pettis. Karalexis is around to put over guys like this so it's nice to see him get another chance to ply his trade. Anthony Pettis by submission, round 1.
Michael Rome: The worst part of this fight is going to be Goldberg calling a Karalexis fight. Anyway, I see Pettis winning rather easily. Pettis via submission, round 1.
Mike Fagan: I didn't like Karalexis when he was on TUF, and I don't like him as a 32 year old journeyman vs. a 23 year old prospect. Anthony Pettis by submission, round 1.
Chris Nelson: Showcase fight for "Showtime." Pettis via TKO, round one.
Leland Roling: Pettis has some good power and explosiveness while Karalexis is really a one-dimensional wrestler with some limited striking ability. I think Karalexis could score a takedown and be a threat to riding out a decision, but Pettis offers better striking to Karalexis' bad form in the stand-up game. Anthony Pettis via TKO, Round 1.
Preliminary Bouts (Non-Televised):
Brad Pickett vs. Demetrious Johnson
Luke Thomas: I don't have a lot of faith in One Punch. Johnson by TKO.
Kid Nate: Johnson will be too much for Pickett. Johnson by decision.
Brent Brookhouse: Pickett is such a weird guy to get a grip on if you're not familiar with him. "One Punch" is actually a submission threat more than a KO threat. He's just going to look small and get outmuscled here. Demetrious Johnson by decision.
Michael Rome: Demetrious JOhnson via decision.
Mike Fagan: Bleh. Always pick against English fighters. Demetrious Johnson by decision.
Nick Thomas:
Chris Nelson: Pickett via submission, round one.
Leland Roling: Demetrious Johnson has a little hype among the hardest of the hardcore fans surprisingly, and he can be a real beast. Pickett isn't exactly a strong individual, and Johnson may very well dump him continuously and tire him out. But I'll go with the technician over raw power here. Brad Pickett via submission.
Chad Mendes vs. Anthony Morrison
Luke Thomas: I've said it before and I'll say it again: Morrison has so much more power than people realize. I still think he'll lose as he lacks a serious ground game, but don't be shocked if Mendes gets slept. Mendes by submission.
Kid Nate: Bad style match up for Morrison. Mendes by decision.
Brent Brookhouse: Morrison will be game, but he'll also get ground down this fight. Chad Mendes by one sided decision.
Michael Rome: Hard for me to see Morrison keeping this standing, and on the ground he doesn't have the game to win. Mendes via decision.
Mike Fagan: Mendes should succeed where his mentor fails. Chad Mendes by TKO, round 2.
Nick Thomas:
Chris Nelson: Mendes via decision.
Leland Roling: Mendes' wrestling background will keep Morrison on his back eating punches. Chad Mendes via TKO, Round 2.
Takeya Mizugaki vs. Rani Yahya
Luke Thomas: Yahya has zero wrestling and zero striking. He's getting KO'd. Mizugaki by KO.
Kid Nate: Wish I could see this one as I am a fan of both. Yahya is a dangerous dangerous submission fighter, but Mizugaki should be able to fend off the threats. Mizugaki by decision.
Brent Brookhouse: I'd love to see Mizugaki get the win here, so I'll pick with my heart here. Takeya Mizugaki by decision.
Michael Rome: This should be a fun fight. Tough call, but I'm going with Yahya via submission, round 3.
Mike Fagan: A fight between two guys who have made their names by getting beat by big name guys. Rani Yahya by submission, round 2.
Nick Thomas:
Chris Nelson: Mizugaki via TKO, round two.
Leland Roling: Yahya has the submission ability to be a threat, but Mizugaki can scramble well, get up off his back quickly, and punch effectively. Takeya Mizugaki via decision.
Tyler Toner vs. Brandon Visher
Luke Thomas: The shootboxing star is going to shine tomorrow night. Toner by KO.
Kid Nate: Visher by decision.
Brent Brookhouse: Let's play it safe. Brandon Visher by decision
Michael Rome: Brandon Visher via TKO.
Mike Fagan: Toner reminds me of a copy machine. Brandon Visher by decision.
Nick Thomas:
Chris Nelson: Toner via decision.
Leland Roling: Toner has a real chance at the upset here. Tyler Toner via TKO, Round 2.

Signs announcing the Master Trooper Junius A. Walker Memorial Highway were erected Friday, including a smaller version accessible to the public at the southbound rest area at mile marker 55.
Walker was shot and killed at mile marker 45 while checking on a vehicle stopped on the side of the highway. Walker was 63 years old and a 35-year veteran of Virginia State Police.
The highway dedication was approved through the efforts of the Dinwiddie Board of Supervisors and the Commonwealth Transportation Safety Board. Friday's dedication was held at the I-85 southbound rest area located at mile marker 55 in Dinwiddie County.

The Patriots had a rough up and down (mostly down) off-season last year:
- Tom Brady renegotiated his contract to free up cap space and extended until he is 40. That was pretty much the last of the up side.
- Wes Welker leaves the Patriots in the hope of grabbing Peyton's balls.
- Danny Amendola signs with the Patriots.
- The Patriots jettison Brandon Lloyd to pursue his new direct to DVD career.
- The Patriots draft a couple new receivers in Aaron Dobson and Josh Boyce, and picked up several UDFAs like Kenbrell Thompkins.
- The Patriots decide not to re-sign Deion Branch, so he eventually signs with the Colts.
- Danny Woodhead leaves for greener pastures.
- Rob Gronkowski undergoes some surgeries.
- The Patriots sign Tim Tebow complete with circus and car full of clowns.
- Aaron Hernandez is arrested for murder and released by the Patriots.
- Potential Tight End, Tim Tebow, is released to pursue his Super Bowl commercial options.
- Tight-Ends Daniel Fells, Jake Ballard, and Zach Sudfeld are all released.
Wide receivers:
Receiver #1:
The most prolific wide receiver for the Patriots over the past several years was Wes Welker, with Brady looking his way more often than any other target:
Receiver #2:
Receiver #3:
Receiver #4:
Tight Ends:
Tight End #1:
Tight End #2:
Tight End #3:
Running Back:
Running Back #1:
Running Back #2:
- Wes Welker's departure was a non-issue as slot receivers seem to be a fungible commodity in Foxboro. We have enough capable receivers to cover the void even if Edelman leaves.
- When Brandon Lloyd was outed, we actually improved a great deal at the position.
- Deion Branch didn't see a lot of action and his replacement saw even less, as Brady seldom made it that far in his progressions.
- Danny Woodhead wasn't really missed as Vereen matched his production in half as many games.
Tight end troubles:
- Aaron Hernandez's departure left a gaping hole at tight end that was filled by surplus production at the third wide receiver position. We had no one that could do what he did, so they improvised.
- The fall off from the third TE spot is more of a lack of Gronk than anything. Without him on the field, teams have much less to worry about, and can pay more attention to depth tight ends.
- The number one problem was the big man himself. The loss of 200 yards is tough enough to handle, but the 7 TDs we lost were gone for good. The Patriots had a hard time reaching the end zone when Gronk was off the field.

Simple ways to make your home more eco-friendly —
[Apr. 21]
Making your house into an eco-friendly home doesn't have to be top dollar expensive or ridiculously time consuming. You don't have to be a celebrity like Leonardo DiCaprio or Ed Begley Jr. to do it, either. One smart energy company has actually just released a list of eco-friendly HOW TO GO GREEN lifestyle tips related to helping consumers save money on electricity while doing the right thing for the environment.
According to MXenergy, going green is something you do by making one small change at a time. As one of the nation's leading independent energy providers, the organization's staff are big proponents of the sustainability movement, saving the planet by improving the world one eco-friendly house at a time.
As part of the company's Earth Week celebration, MXenergy offered clients and people searching for infromation on ways to go green at home a simple, easy list of go green tips. The best part? Any homeowner or renter can use their bright green ideas to reduce their home's carbon footprint and increase their energy efficiency. "I think it is important for people to realize that small changes really do have an impact," says Marjorie Kass, MXenergy Managing Director.
"Sometimes people have the perception that 'going green' is going to cost them a lot of money. The truth is there are simple, inexpensive choices we all can make that really do make a difference."
We concur. Check out the eco-friendly list of ways to green your home in the section below, excerpted from their company press release.
MXenergy's Tips for Reducing Your Carbon Footprint at Home
- Convert incandescent bulbs to more energy efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs. The Department of Energy estimates converting only a quarter of your bulbs can reduce your lighting bill by 50%.
- Turn lights off. If you are leaving a room for more than five minutes, turn off all lights when you leave.
- Natural light is the most efficient light. Open blinds during the day and close them at night to conserve energy.
- Only run your dishwasher, washing machine and dryer when full to avoid wasting energy.
- Wash clothes in cold water and cut your energy usage by 50%.
- Scrape your plates. Scraping rather than rinsing dishes will help conserve water.
- Install an energy efficient showerhead. Showers account for the largest amount of home hot water usage.
- Lower your thermostat. You will save 3-5% for every 10 degrees you lower the temperature.
- Unplug. Your computer, cell phone charger, video game console, and DVD player all drain electricity when not in use. A great way to identify "phantom" drains is to walk through your home with the lights off and look for those red and green lights still shining. If you don't need it, turn it off.
- Opt out. Printed phone books waste a tremendous amount of paper and ink. Visit www.yellowpagesoptout.com for an easy way to opt out of multiple directories at once.
"The wonderful thing about these tips is that they cost the homeowner virtually nothing. Yet each of these choices reduces energy use and pays big environmental dividends," says Kass.

In front of an estimated crowd of over 85,000 people, the US Women's National Team and Japan Women's National Team have kicked-off the Olympic gold medal match.
This is a rematch of last summer's World Cup final that saw Japan defeat the USA on penalties. Eight of the US players started in that game and you can bet winning today would help remove some of the sour taste that defeat left in their mouths. The only lineup change for the USA from their semifinal victory over Canada is Shannon Boxx, making her first appearance since the Olympic opener, who replaces Lauren Cheney.
Japan is in their red jerseys, with white shorts while the USA is in their blue and white change kit. The match officials on the field are all from Germany, while the fourth official is from Argentina.
Good early back-and-forth play from both teams, but neither side has looked too dangerous as yet. You get the feeling that both teams respect what the other is capable of and is wary of making an early mistake. The US did have a penalty shout turned down by the referee in the 6th minute after Alex Morgan appeared to have been impeded by the Japanese defense.
Follow along with our live coverage of the final in our USA Vs. Japan, London 2012 Olympics StoryStream.

History was made on Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium, as Derek Jeter belted a home run into the left-field seats to become the 28th player in Major League history and first Yankee to notch 3,000 hits.Like fans across the world, MLB.com wanted to be a part of such a historic day and on Saturday evening unveiled "Der3k Jeter: A Yankee First," a video tribute that highlights Jeter's growth from high-school phenom to a second-year shortstop on a World Series championship team to one of the most iconic Yankees of all time. Jeter grew up in Michigan as a Yankees fan, wanting to wear pinstripes and nothing else. That dream turned into a possibility in 1992, when he was drafted sixth overall by the Yankees in the First-Year Player Draft. Four years later, he was unanimously named the American League Rookie of the Year following a season in which he won the first of his five World Series championships.

The video tribute takes fans through all of Jeter's memorable moments, from his first hit to his 1,000th, to the 2000 Subway Series against the Mets in which he hit .409 with two home runs en route to being named World Series MVP. Jeter's remarks following perhaps the highest honor of his career when, in 2003, he was named the 11th captain of the Yankees, also are heard.And, of course, what Jeter film compilation would be complete without the shortstop's legendary 2001 flip toward home plate against the A's in the American League Division Series? The 2006 season brought Jeter's 2,000th hit, and three years later, on Sept. 11, 2009, Jeter became the Yankees' all-time hits leader, passing Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig. On Saturday, the long-awaited day finally came when Jeter hit a third-inning pitch from Tampa Bay's David Price into the Yankee Stadium seats. It was a historic day, no doubt. But as shown in "Der3k Jeter: A Yankee First" it was just the latest of numerous accomplishments for a player who has transformed into a 12-time All-Star, a fan favorite and the current, everyday face of a storied Yankees organization for which he grew up rooting. "Der3k Jeter: A Yankee First" was executively produced by Dinn Mann and Michael Furno and was produced by Dan Huyssen and Mike Siano. It was directed and edited by Craig Cukrowski and written by Alden Gonzalez, Huyssen and Cukrowski. John Turturro is the narrator.
Fans can also catch "DEREK JETER 3K" -- an hourlong documentary produced by HBO and Major League Productions that will air in a few weeks.

Game Notes:
This is the time of the preseason when coaches experiment with their lineups so, it is possible that the lineups may change. With the Celtics having 4 games in 5 nights, Doc has said that he probably won't play KG, PP, and RA in every game. Or, it is possible that he will start them and then play them fewer minutes. With the starters only playing one quarter against the Nets, they will more than likely start and play in this game. The Herald said they will more than likely play in 8 quarters in the next 4 games and may sit out either Monday or Tuesday. With KG, RA, and PP probably starting, this game should be in hand early and so expect to see a lot of the bench in this game.

Festival International de Louisiane is less than a week away and ten of thousands are expecting to be in downtown Lafayette to listen to musicians from all over the world which means businesses in the area are already preparing.
Between April 24 to 28, co-owner Rick Qawami of downtown restaurant Agave Cantina says businesses are expecting more than 100,000 hungry, thirsty people to attend the festival.
"I got the extra freezer truck you just store a lot of stuff and groceries in there because during the festival a lot of roads are blocked so you have to make sure you have everything over here because it's hard to get the trucks through here," says Qawami.
That freezer truck full of food and drink ingredients he says must meticulously be pre-ordered or he could risk completely selling out by Saturday night when he expects more than 4,000 patrons to pass through his restaurant doors.
"All the things we got to order is so much that you really have to let the vendors know two to three weeks in advance," Qawami said.
He says he expects to make three weeks worth of business by the end of the festival which will only be made possible by adequately supplying their demand.
"You got to increase your staffing by like three times."
Manager Sharon Mertz at Don's Seafood and Steakhouse downtown will also have more staff ready, but timed the opening of their new bar with the festival to accommodate more people.
"We're going to be serving draft beer we have eight different kinds of draft beer and we just make more room for more customers and more chairs for more customers," Mertz says.
Still she says all the extra stress is worth supporting one of Acadiana's biggest and in her opinion best events.
"Usually you have other holidays that keeps you busy. Mardi Gras does, but nothing like Festival International. It's more of a family festival. It's a family like atmosphere people come in to see."
Festival International will begin on Wednesday April 24 and finish up on Sunday April 28.

Three cars damaged, no one hurt by falling tree in La Jolla
By Dave Schwab
Staff Writer
Miraculously, no one was injured when a towering eucalyptus tree near Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church at 7669 Girard Ave. in La Jolla toppled over about 9:45 a.m. Wednesday morning. It fell across the street crushing one car and seriously damaging two others parked on the opposite side.
"I was getting things out of the front of my car and putting things in the trunk and all of a sudden I heard like a crunching, and then a whoosh behind me, and a tree fell and hit me kind of in my neck and back," said Christel Carlyle, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker in Del Mar who was in town on a real estate caravan. "Then I heard glass breaking and a huge crash."
Noting the car next to her was completely smashed and that there was a third car damaged as well, Carlyle added, "I'm lucky to be alive. I'm thanking God. That's all I can say."
Across the street at Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church, Pastor Jim Rafferty was having breakfast at the time of the incident.
"I looked and bingo, it fell," he said. "It just went down in an instant."
Rafferty said the falling of the huge eucalyptus tree on a windy day ought to serve as a wake up call.
Within minutes, a crew was cutting the tree, although Girard remained closed for a while.
"Allegedly, they're 150 years old," he said of the felled tree nearby. "My hope is that the mate over there in front of U.S. Bank would be taken out at the same time before we have a loss of life."
"Really, this goes beyond trying to preserve the antiquity of our beautiful village of La Jolla," continued Rafferty. "I'm the pastor here at Mary Star of the Sea. But today, we're going to change the name to Mary Star of the Tree. Thank God no one was hurt."

49 Writers in Southeast Alaska
As part of our goal to expand 49 Writers programming to other parts of the state, we are working with local partners to develop a 2014 schedule of creative writing classes and author events in Juneau and other communities. The board of directors recently added two new members from Juneau, Joan Pardes and Katrina Pearson, who bring new energy and a broad range of expertise to the organization.
Overall, 20 percent of our members live in Southeast Alaska, and can be found in Auke Bay, Craig, Douglas, Gustavus, Haines, Metlakatla, and Sitka. Our Juneau membership has more than tripled over the last four months, thanks to strong interest from writers in the community. Many of those new members attended our 2014 Resolve to Write gathering, at which we shared our writing aspirations and goals for the coming year. Your contribution makes it possible for to grow and extend our mission to Southeast Alaska: supporting the artistic development of writers, fostering a writing community, and building an audience for literature.
If you would like to help us bring more authors to Juneau, do consider becoming a member. Benefits of becoming a member--in addition to knowing you're supporting our vision of a vibrant community of Alaskan writers coming together to inspire, create, and share--include: tuition discount on creative writing classes; the opportunity to participate in the new writers group for 49 Writers members; and Invitations to members-only events with visiting writers.
Click here for more information about the various options available and to join.
Writers Group
Thursday, October 2, 7-9pm The writers group for members of 49 Writers meets every other month on the first Thursday. Email email@example.com for details.
Creative Writing Classes
We are working on our fall schedule, which will be announced at the end of August. Meanwhile, FREE registration is open for the following workshop with Sherry Simpson--part of a 10-day literary program in Southeast Alaska made possible by a grant from the Alaska Humanities Forum and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
AUTOGEOGRAPHY: MAPPING OUR LIVES, Sherry Simpson
Saturday, September 20, 1-4pm
University of Alaska Southeast, Glacier View Room, Juneau Campus
Pre-registration required for this free workshop. Click here to register.
"Knowing who you are is impossible without knowing where you are," says writer Paul Shepard. What does it mean to live in a particular place? How does where you're from shape who you are? We'll explore these questions and others through storytelling--visual and written--that connects self and place.
Sherry Simpson is the author of Dominion of Bears: Living with Wildlife in Alaska and two collections of essays, The Accidental Explorer: Wayfinding in Alaska and The Way Winter Comes. Her work has appeared in numerous journals, magazines, and anthologies. She teaches creative writing in the MFA programs at the University of Alaska Anchorage and at Pacific Lutheran University.

Ali McCart leads this three-hour intensive on making the most of your novel's first impression. We'll cover the tangible elements of industry standards for submitting work as well as the ephemeral elements that make the difference between an agent's request for samples or a template rejection letter.
