How to Read Novels Like a Professor: A Jaunty Exploration of the World's Favorite Literary Form (Paperback)
Related Editions
Of all the literary forms, the novel is arguably the most discussed . . . and fretted over. From Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote to the works of Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and today's masters, the novel has grown with and adapted to changing societies and technologies, mixing tradition and innovation in every age throughout history.
Thomas C. Foster—the sage and scholar who ingeniously led readers through the fascinating symbolic codes of great literature in his first book, How to Read Literature Like a Professor—now examines the grammar of the popular novel. Exploring how authors' choices about structure—point of view, narrative voice, first page, chapter construction, character emblems, and narrative (dis)continuity—create meaning and a special literary language, How to Read Novels Like a Professor shares the keys to this language with readers who want to get more insight, more understanding, and more pleasure from their reading.
About the Author
Tom Foster is Professor of English at the University of Michigan, Flint, where he teaches classes in contemporary fiction, drama and poetry as well as creative writing and composition. He has written several books on twentieth-century British and Irish literature and poetry and lives in East Lansing, Michigan.

Have been looking for years to replace the front "carpeted" floor mats for my 2002 Eddie Bauer Explorer. Ford doesn't stock them anymore and if they did the price would be more than three times the price I paid for these. They are not the same size or shape as the OEM mats, however they fit much better, are the exact color I was seeking to match the rest of the interior, and they are far more secure than the originals in that they stay in place.

A Lincoln-themed tour of Washington, D.C.
Smithsonian's National Museum of American History
The top hat President Abraham Lincoln wore the night he was assassinated is currently on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
Smithsonian's National Museum of American History
Mary Todd Lincoln's gown is part of "The First Ladies" exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States and one of the country's most admired, rising from humble roots in a frontier cabin to become a self-educated lawyer and brilliant politician.
As president, he ended slavery by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation and preserved the nation despite the Civil War.
The story of his assassination is one of the best-known chapters of American history.
Many museums are offering special exhibits for the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation. Other sites can be visited any time.
Lincoln Memorial: This larger-than-life white marble statue of Lincoln, completed in 1922, sits inside a massive columned building inspired by the Parthenon. Located on the National Mall, www.nps.gov/linc/.
Ford's Theatre And Petersen House: Lincoln was shot at Ford's Theatre in 1865 while watching a play with his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln. He was brought to a house across the street, now a museum and historic site called the Petersen House.
A visit to Ford's and the Petersen House reveals fascinating details of the crime: John Wilkes Booth walked right up to the box where Lincoln was sitting and shot him in the head.
A plaque marks the site of a nearby boardinghouse where conspirators were said to have plotted the assassination.
Located at 511 10th St., NW, www.fordstheatre.org/.
President Lincoln's Cottage: This was Lincoln's summer home, where he and his family escaped Washington's heat and humidity.
Through April 30, an exhibit here displays one of just 26 existing signed copies of the Emancipation Proclamation. http://lincolncottage.org/.
Other stops on a Lincoln tour:
- Smithsonian's National Museum of American History: "Changing America: The Emancipation Proclamation, 1863 and the March on Washington, 1963" exhibit through Sept. 15; and "The First Ladies" exhibit with Mary Todd Lincoln's purple velvet gown made by her seamstress and confidante, Elizabeth Keckley, an African-American woman who had purchased her own freedom. http://americanhistory.si.edu/.
- Smithsonian American Art Museum And National Portrait Gallery: "The Civil War and American Art" through April 28, including plaster casts of Lincoln's face along with casts of his hands http://npg.si.edu.
- Newseum: An exhibit here called "Blood and Ink: Front Pages From the Civil War" displays more than 30 front pages from the era, www.newseum.org/.

GREENVILLE - Before a scheduled trial Friday morning in Municipal Court, an agreement was reached for a local woman that was charged with a fatal crash on July 12, 2013.
Jessica Jones, 25, of Arcanum pleaded No Contest to one count of Vehicular Manslaughter, a second degree misdemeanor. She was charged with two misdemeanor counts following the crash that claimed the life of 58-year-old Janice M. Howard of Arcanum.
Jones was eastbound in a 1993 Honda Civic on the 5400 block of Delisle Fourmans Road when she struck Howard who was riding a bicycle along the roadway.
According to reports, Jones told deputies that she did not even see Howard before it was too late. Pictures from the incident confirmed the morning sun was facing Jones' vehicle and a hill may have contributed to limited visibility.
Darke County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jesse J. Green chose to dismiss a more severe charge of Vehicular Homicide, a first degree misdemeanor, after a report was completed by the Darke County Sheriff's Accident Reconstruction Team that showed Jones was only traveling between 49-53 miles per hour.
According to a statement given by Jones at the time of the accident, she said she may have been going about 60 miles per hour.
"She was in shock at the time of incident, she wasn't aware of how fast she was actually going," said Jones' defense attorney David A. Rohrer.
Jones will appear for sentencing and a restitution hearing sometime in March. She faces a maximum of 90 days in jail and a license suspension of up to one year.
"We are pleased with the outcome of this case. It was an accident, simple as that." Rohrer concluded.
Local attorney Camille L. Baker sat in as acting judge for Municipal Court Judge Julie L. Monnin on the case.

We're less than a week from the 2014 MLS SuperDraft and on Friday, the 2014 MLS adidas Players Combine kicked off the draft week festivities.
In the first match, Team Predator defeated Team Nitro Charge 4-1 off goals from Zach Boldon (Denver), Tesho Akindele (Colorado School of Mines), Mamadou Diouf (Connecticut), and Pierre Omanga (So. New Hampshire). Akron's Reinaldo Brenes scored the lone goal for Team Nitro Charge.
The final match of the evening, Team Brazuca defeated Team adiZero 2-0 off goals from Michigan's Fabio Pereira and Maryland's Schillo Tshuma.
MLSsoccer and Soccer by Ives each provided an update on the players who succeeded—and failed— during Day One. On Saturday, the teams will interview the combine participants before the players return to action on Sunday.
There's no doubt that LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham was known throughout the world for his fashion sense as much as his soccer ability.
Early on Friday, we discovered this cool piece of art that offered a timeline of David Beckham's career through his unique hairstyles.
Check it out below.
Update: Early on Saturday, LA Galaxy defender A.J. DeLaGarza responded to this piece on Beckham with his own hairstyles through the year.

Bruce Arena raves about Jose Villarreal's Cruz Azul opportunity as forward begins training with first team
CARSON, Calif. – Weeks after completing a loan to Cruz Azul, Jose Villarreal is steadily beginning to integrate himself with the squad.
According to the website Mediotiempo, Villarreal, Rafael Baca and Michael Farfan have begun training with the Cruz Azul first team over the past week. Although the training session represent Villarreal's first steps forward to earning minutes, the 19-year-old forward faces an uphill battle after Cruz Azul sporting director Agustín Manzo labeled the forward a work-in-progress during his unveiling in December.
However, even as Villarreal looks to lock down a steady place with the Mexican side, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena admits that the forward has the skills to succeed in Mexico.
"It's a great opportunity for him," Villarreal told reporters earlier this week. "He's a player that has great promise. He's being placed in an environment that I think that he's going to be comfortable in and hopefully, he can show a lot of progress this year."
CARSON, Calif. -- In less than seven days, the American soccer community will gather in Philadelphia for the 2014 MLS SuperDraft.
In preparation for the SuperDraft, I spoke to Top Drawer Soccer youth soccer expert Travis Clark about LA's draft needs and interesting players that may be available.
Check it out below.
LA GALAXY INSIDER: How would you rate this particular draft in terms of quality?
CLARK: This is an interesting group of talent. In my opinion, the strength is along the back line, particularly with a glut of center backs both Generation adidas and from the crop of seniors talent. While there may not be a great deal of players who have a high ceiling, I think that there might be a higher number of MLS squad players in this group who could make a roster.
LAGI: What type of talent do you expect to be available when the Galaxy draft at 14?
CLARK: Depending on how quick the Generation adidas players come off the board will dictate what is there for the Galaxy's first pick. I'd expect a solid center back or two might be there for the taking, or perhaps one of the draft's few quality outside backs.
LAGI: What do you see as the Galaxy's biggest positional need in the draft?
CLARK: You'd know this better than me, but I'm sure the Galaxy could use depth in the midfield or at the back.
LAGI: Personally, I feel that the Galaxy should be seeking to find right back depth in lieu of the departure of Sean Franklin, who are the best right back prospects and could they be available at 14?
CLARK: If for some reason Eric Miller slips to the Galaxy at 14, it would be a no brainer pick. The Creighton defender played as a center back this year, but will likely feature as a right back in MLS, and would be Generation adidas player, so wouldn't count against the salary cap. If he isn't there -- which is probably going to be the case – snapping up UC Irvine right back Marco Franco would be a smart move. He's someone that could come in and possibly get minutes this season.
Outside of him and Miller, there aren't a lot of right back options.
LAGI: Since the Galaxy have a tendency to draft college players to local to the Southern California area, who are some of the standouts from the Southern California pool?
CLARK: Along with Franco, UCLA has a number of senior candidates available --though I'm not sure if they'd fit in with what the Galaxy is looking for. Victor Munoz is a creative midfielder from Spain that could offer a spark and should be on the board later in the rounds. Enrique Cardenas is another similar kind of player out of Irvine, but he's another that will likely be there after the first two rounds.
UC Santa Barbara has some intriguing options -- defensive midfielder Fifi Baiden, who isn't the biggest presence but can cover ground, while also offering up a pair of foreigners: forward Achille Campion from France and towering 6-foot-6 German center back Peter Schmetz.
LAGI: Who do you see the Galaxy taking with the 14th pick? And their pick in the late fourth round?
CLARK: I think picking up Marco Franco might be a good move in the first round, adding depth at right back. Maybe go for a center back like [New Mexico's Kyle] Venter or [Michigan State's Kevin] Cope, which might represent one of the best players available at the time.
Perhaps with the other pick, the Galaxy can look close to home and grabbing Munoz in the fourth round, see if he can adapt and add a creative spark to the midfield.
What do you believe are the LA Galaxy's needs ahead of the draft?
CARSON, Calif. – We're only a week away from the 2014 MLS SuperDraft where the LA Galaxy currently hold two selections.
The Galaxy have the 14th overall selection in the first round, but then they'll be in for a bit of a wait as they will not pick again until the fourth round with the 72nd pick. Next week, I and the rest of the LAGalaxy.com crew will be in Philadelphia providing coverage from the SuperDraft.

BRUCE ARENA ON LA GALAXY DRAFT NEEDS: "We're drafting 14th so you never know what is going to be available. We do think that there is going to be a good player available but we just don't know in terms of position. At this point in time, we're going to draft the best players available. There are obviously a number of players that we have an interest in. So we'll go down in the combine and watch them a little closer then when our turn comes, we'll pick whomever is a good addition to our roster."
What do you think the LA Galaxy draft needs are? What do you want the Galaxy to look for in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft? How would you tell Bruce Arena to draft?

CARSON, Calif. -- During Friday's U.S. National Team training session, LA Galaxy videographer Paolo Ferrari stopped by and took a number of great photos.
Check them out below.
CARSON, Calif. – Count LA Galaxy forward Landon Donovan among those praising Toronto FC's reported capture of star U.S. National Team midfielder Michael Bradley.
Although the deal has not yet been announced by MLS or Toronto FC, the widely reported transfer was confirmed by Bradley's Italian club A.S. Roma on Thursday. Bradley is the latest U.S. National Team standout to return to MLS or elect to stay in the league and the highest profile returnee since Seattle Sounders FC's signing of Clint Dempsey in August.
When asked about Bradley's reported move, Donovan admitted that the return of the 26-year-old was "great" for Toronto FC, MLS and his national team teammate.
"I think that it's a testament to our league that people want to come back and play here particularly six months before a World Cup," said Donovan ahead of U.S. National Team training on Thursday." It makes a strong statement, obviously, [Tim Leiweke] made it clear to him that it was something that he wanted, and Mike is a smart guy, I'm sure that he's thought about this a lot and it's something that he wants to do so I think that it is great."
If any U.S. National Team player is familiar with Bradley's current situation, it would be Donovan who made a high-profile return to MLS from Germany's Bayer Leverkusen in 2005 to join the Los Angeles Galaxy. Donovan then opted to extend his stay in MLS last summer when he inked a multi-year deal to stay with the Galaxy.
Although the moves of players like Bradley and Dempsey may be criticized, Donovan attests that the two players are simply "following their dreams" in a much improved MLS than the one the Galaxy forward returned to in 2005.
"The league is a lot better. The league is different because financially more stable, but in all ways, coaching is better, youth development is better, there's more media, there's more attention, everything is different and constantly changing," said Donovan. "We always say that [MLS] is not where we want it to be, but when guys like Michael and Clint make decisions like that, when [Omar Gonzalez], Matt Besler, Graham Zusi make the decision to stay here when they could have gone abroad, it makes a big statement.
"The way that you make the league better is by having better players and certainly in the last six months, it has gotten two of our best [American] players back in the league."
What do you think about the move?

CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy U-16 goalkeeper Eric Lopez has been added to the U.S. Soccer Under-17 Residency program for their upcoming Spring semester.
Lopez was among the five players who will join 21 existing residency members including Galaxy U-16 forward Haji Wright who earned great acclaim after scoring five goals at the Nike International Friendlies in December. The 14-year-old 'keeper has appeared in five games for the undefeated LA U-16 side that has amassed a 9-0-4 record in Southwest Division play during the 2013-14 U.S. Soccer Development Academy season. The Galaxy U-16's are the only undefeated side in the nation in their USSDA age group.
Among those left off the roster for the spring residency semester is Galaxy U-16 goalkeeper Abraham Romero who will return to train with LA's Academy.
The complete roster is below.
GOALKEEPERS: Eric Lopez (LA Galaxy Academy; Westminster, Calif.), Will Pulisic (Richmond Strikers; Mechanicsville, Va.), Kevin Silva (PDA; Bethlehem, Pa.)
DEFENDERS (8): Hugo Arellano (Chivas USA Academy; Norwalk, Calif.), George Braima (Crew Soccer Academy; Columbus, Ohio), Nikkye De Point (Revolution Empire; Rochester, N.Y.), Tanner Dieterich (TN Soccer Club; Nashville, Tenn.), John Nelson (Internationals; Medina, Ohio), Matthew Olosunde (New York Red Bulls Academy; Trenton, N.J.), AJ Palazzolo (St. Louis Scott Gallagher Missouri; O'Fallon, Mo.), Alexis Velela (San Diego Surf; San Diego, Calif.)
MIDFIELDERS: Eric Calvillo (Real So Cal; Palmdale, Calif.), Jose Carranza (D.C. United Academy; Manassas, Va.), Kyle Gurrieri (NJSA 04; Totowa, N.J.), Thomas McCabe (PDA; South Orange, N.J.), Weston McKennie (FC Dallas Academy; Little Elm, Texas), Logan Panchot (St. Louis Scott Gallagher Missouri; St. Louis, Mo.), Jaret Townsend (Real Colorado; Highlands Park, Colo.), Devin Vega (San Antonio Scorpions; San Antonio, Texas), Brian Zelaya (De Anza Force; San Mateo, Calif.), Alejandro Zendejas (FC Dallas Academy; El Paso, Texas)

CARSON, Calif. -- On Tuesday, the LA Galaxy made a splash adding Brazilian forward Samuel on a year-long loan from Brazilian side Fluminense.
To learn a bit more about Samuel and his background with Fluminense, I spoke to Jack Lang, a noted Brazilian soccer specialist who has written about the nation's soccer culture for many publications including ESPN, Yahoo and Eurosport.
My conversation with Lang is below.
LA Galaxy Insider: How would you describe Samuel as a player? He tallied just 15 goals in 72 games for the club over a two year period.
LANG: He's a number nine who can lead the line alone or combine with a partner. Much was expected of him after he graduated from youth football, but he hasn't yet hit the heights – as his record illustrates. He did well coming into the Fluminense side as a relative unknown in 2012, netting a few goals, but things were trickier for him in 2013. When Brazil striker Fred picked up an injury midway near the start of the Brazilian season, Samuel was thrust into the frontline and expected to perform a similar role. But he never got to grips with the job, scoring just once after May.
Admittedly he wasn't starting week-in, week-out - but that further underlines the point that he didn't manage to make the position his own. Hopefully the move to LA Galaxy will help him rediscover his confidence and form.
LAGI: During the last year, he's been linked with a number of big clubs in Spain from Espanyol to Real Madrid B, do you feel like this interest may have hindered or aided his professional development?
LANG: It probably didn't help. Brazilian youngsters often have their heads turned by European interest early in their careers, so they begin to dream big before even establishing themselves. Some knuckle down but countless others have drifted into mediocrity on a wave of misplaced ambition. I don't know whether Samuel was one of the latter group, but you'd imagine he will have been brought back to earth by his middling form in 2013.
LAGI: The scuttlebutt on Samuel is that he's been described a talented player but one limited speed wise. Is this a fair assessment?
LANG: I would say so. He's certainly got attributes that will help him plunder goals: he has good anticipation, for instance, and is great in the air. He's also a tidy finisher with both feet. But he's certainly not going to win any prizes for pure athletics; he often looks a touch leaden-footed and isn't one to speed past his marker.
LAGI: Fluminense was nearly relegated a year ago after their poor showing, what's the current state of the club at the moment?
LANG: They had a turbulent 2013, to say the least. Champions in 2012 (their second title in three years), they looked to be ushering in a bright new era on the back of funding from medical insurance giant Unimed. They had invested in proven talent (Fred, Thiago Neves, Deco) new training facilities, while coach Abel Braga was making all the right noises about building a dynasty.
But things went awry. Braga was dismissed in July after five consecutive defeats. His replacement, Vanderlei Luxemburgo, also struggled, leading the side to just seven wins in 26 games. Fred's injury didn't help, while their once-solid defence went missing too often.
They were actually relegated in the final week of the season, only to earn a controversial reprieve in the courtroom. It turned out that Portuguesa had fielded an ineligible player in their last game, and the Brazilians sports tribunal saw fit to dock them just enough points to save Flu's skin. They may have retained their top-flight status, but the side Samuel is leaving behind is unlikely to be too popular among neutrals for the foreseeable future.
LAGI: Several Brazilian players are currently flourishing in MLS, what's the perception of the league in Brazil and the U.S. National Team?
LANG: It's still viewed as something of a novelty by some – a league with the financial power to lure players away (like Middle Eastern leagues often do) but not one with any great footballing gravitas. That's clearly a fairly outmoded view, especially as the MLS trumps the Brasileirão in many ways: bigger attendances (in the last few years at least), better organisation, more advanced commercial streams.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy will take on the San Jose Earthquakes for the first time in 2014 on Feb. 15 in Fresno's Chukchansi Park for the inaugural Central California Cup.
The match is LA's first preseason fixture in Fresno since 2007 when the Galaxy defeated the Fresno Fuego 4-0. LA's match against San Jose is their second announced preseason game as they will take on Armenian champions FC Shirak on Feb. 8 at StubHub Center.

I have to do the validation on the Client Side when the one of the Radio Button Clicked from 3 of them. I know how to write the JavaScript Function but i am confused where i have to use this function by using ASP Radio Buttons.
I mean on which event of the RadioButton i have to fire the function of javascript. Because there is no any client side event like onClientClick on ASP radiobutton.
So, Please help me to solve this problem.

there must be a Button control on which you will be doing some functionality after entering your data. You have to call the javascript on that button. In short the final level of your page on which by click you will perform your operation.
Hope it will sort out your problem
Thanks and best regards,

Hi SPPatel,
you will need the onmousedown javascript event. The visual studio IDE will tell you that it doesn't exist, but when your page is rendered out as html,
the radio button will become a 'input' and it will have the correct event attached on the client side.
Something like this...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">   <title>test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />     <input type="radio" onmousedown="clickCheck(this)" name="Radio1" />
 <input type="radio" name="Radio2" />

Hi. Suppose you have 3 Radiobuttons.. You will be validating on some button control. Please find below how to do it step by step.
Step1: Setup your radio buttons on aspx page.
 Some Heading<asp:RadioButton ID="Radio1" GroupName="Flag" runat="server" Text="DNR" />
<asp:RadioButton ID="Radio2" GroupName="Flag" runat="server" Text="RE" /> <asp:RadioButton ID="Radio3" GroupName="Flag" runat="server" Text="RI" />
Step2: You have to declare some button/imagebutton or somthing else to validate. I suppose you have button cmdSave for validation.
Step3: in code behind of page On Page Load, you have to call javascript function of validation. i.e
cmdSave.Attributes.Add("onClick", "Javascript:checkFlag()");
Step4: You have to declare function checkFlag() in your aspx page. i.e
{event.returnValue = false; var DNR = document.getElementById('<%= RadioDNR.ClientID %>').checked; var RE = document.getElementById('<%= RadioRE.ClientID %>').checked; var RI = document.getElementById('<%= RadioRI.ClientID %>').checked;
if (DNR == false && RE == false && RI == false)
alert ('Please Specify one of the Flags');
{event.returnValue = true;
You have to do nothing else. I am sure it will resolve your problem. If this is the solution of your problem, please mark this post as resolved. Thanks

Hi fahiemulleh ,
Ya, this is the right way but i don't want to fired the function on any button clicked events. I want to do this using Click events on RadioButton. So what i have to do.

Hi KBrocksi_SEC,
Thanks for the reply. But after that how can i get the value(is it checked or not) of html radio on my .aspx page.

You have an event CheckedChanged of Radiobutton. Call javascript validation function from this event. i.e
let me know if the problem is still not resolved and if resolved, please mark this post as resolved.
Jul 13, 2007 10:16 AM|gspandian|LINK
HI i am used as u specified but the problem is after getting the client response then the server event is not raising...
My objective is on clicking radiobutton then confirm must popup and if user press ok then the server event of radiobutton must raise otherwise it should not..
And i assigned the javascript funtion to radiobutton control thru control.attribute.add(onclick,return funname()) and in server event i wrote some code but is not raising even the user selects OK from confirm button
why the event is not raising?

I know this thread is old, but for everyone's reference:
The radio button is rendered as <input> ( when text is set to display on the right).
By default, the Radiobutton.Attributes.Add() method will add attributes to the , and in response to selarom's post, "onselect" is not a valid javascript event for the span element.
The radiobutton and checkbox both support two additional Attribute collections: InputAttributes (for attributes to add to the radio button or checkbox) and LabelAttributes (for attributes to be added to the text of the radio button).
So for selarom, use: rad.InputAttributes.Add("onselect", "myJsFunction()")

perhaps radio button is not exactly the correct user interface control for your needs? maybe 3 image buttons would have been better?

When rule exemptions are made like this the tournament should be an
XC event.
Sounds to me like these baskets need to be fixed. One foot putts falling through
the bottom of the basket is kind of silly. I know we all putt poorly sometimes but
I make all my one footers.
Last edited by captain plastic; 06-21-2012 at 11:15 PM.
Not Will!!!
A simple solution to the problem would be adding a metal hoop around the basket near the bottom of the tray. This keeps putts from falling out and going in through the side. This would not change the catching abilities which can be a positive or negative depending on how you look at it.
I played two rounds there this morning and had no issues. Those baskets catch great!
I think the baskets catch great as well. When they were reinstalled all of the baskets looked to be in the best shape they had ever been in. Whatever was sprayed or painted on the chains seemed to catch the discs quite well.
My favorite part of the rules is players always like to pick which rules to follow and which not to. Kinda like life. Surprised nobody has asked mick if he marked his lie with a mini under the basket before dropping his disc back in the basket for the two. Unless its a pdga official event why do we let some rules slide but others not... Thankfully that's why there is a td or league director to make the call. Even the pdga rated leagues have made exceptions for some rules.
Otter is a course with outdated baskets, and shouldn't have to be tied to 100% of the current rules. Like the captain said, due to these circumstances a pdga event on this course should always be run as an X-tier. It's not the only course in the country like this. Iroquois has different baskets from one hole to the next. Buffalo has baskets like nowhere else. Tournies that use a variety of temp baskets. Not every rule needs to apply 100% of the time. My opinion.
The disc has to come to rest in the basket. It also can not enter through the side but that rule does not work backwards if the disc falls through the basket.Disc Entrapment Devices: In order to hole out, the thrower must release the disc
and it must come to rest supported by the chains and/or the inner cylinder (bottom and
inside wall) of the tray. It may be additionally supported by the pole. A disc observed by two
or more players of the group or an official to have entered the target below the top of the
tray or above the bottom of the chain support is not holed out.
Well played Dan, I concede.
I was told by someone that the Otter Creek course (and those very same baskets) were put there by Steady Ed himself, and as sort of a lasting tribute that's the reason there's a strong unlikelihood that they'll be modified to accommodate modern discs.

RYAN VREDE writes the Springboks' troubles have mounted, with poor defence now added to their list of shortcomings. A specialist fetcher will go some way to fixing this problem.
The Springboks' defence, good to date, failed them and allowed the Wallabies a route back into the Test. They fell off tackles like schoolboys in the build up to the Wallabies' tries. Pathetic. Absolutely inexcusable. They will lose by some distance if this is a feature of their play next weekend against the All Blacks.
However, they will ease their defensive burden significantly with the inclusion of a specialist fetcher. Heyneke Meyer has maintained that there is no room for a player of this ilk in his side, explaining that his opensider must be a competent ball carrier as well. Marcell Coetzee is a fine player, but in Francois Louw they have a far superior man on the deck and one that also meets Meyer's ball-carrying criteria.
They made just two breakdown turnovers in this Test and consistently failed to slow the recycle. The Wallabies gradually grew in confidence and in the second half were allowed to control the flow and tempo of the play. It is imperative that Louw is included in a bid to stifle the Blacks' attacking momentum.
Furthermore, their attack shows no sign of improvement. The lack of imagination and penetration they showed in the red zone suggests their struggles here are still some way off being solved. They nearly butchered the play in the build-up to their try, with Morne Steyn twice taking the wrong option. His kicking game was adequate. Not so his ball in hand play. For now Meyer will retain the belief that that sacrifice is worthwhile. However, Steyn has offered nothing to dispel the perception that his value transcends his kicking game. His cause wasn't helped by the promising cameo Johan Goosen made.
Steyn, though, wasn't helped by their strike runners' impotency at the gainline. Meyer expects his behemoths to provide punch in this department, resisting the claims of more mobile and skillful players (particularly back rowers). They offered the team little momentum. In the context of the Springboks' game plan and in the apparent absence of any players with the capacity to produce a moment of magic, failure to boss the tackle fight on attack is terminal to their cause.
There were some positives – their line kicking and tactical kicking game was good and pinned the Wallabies in their half in the first 40. Asked come up with an exit strategy, the Wallabies just never seemed to have one. This sort of pressure play is what Meyer hopes the bedrock of his success will be built on.
But they faded badly in the second half and now go to face the world champions with more questions than answers haunting them.

(Washington, DC) – July 8 - the American Osteopathic Association, represented by President Carlo J. DiMarco, D.O., testified before the House Small Business Committee about our nation's physician workforce shortage, specifically in the fields of primary care and general surgery.
|"At LECOM, our mission is to educate physicians in the osteopathic tradition of competent and compassionate, whole-person primary care. The percentage of our graduates who pursue careers in primary care is 67 percent, placing LECOM at fifth in the nation for training primary care physicians."
|Dr. DiMarco testifies before Congress.
"The AOA applauds the efforts of Chairwoman Nydia Velazquez (D-NY) and Ranking Member Sam Graves (R-MO)," stated Carlo J. DiMarco, D.O. "The AOA is committed to educating and training the future physician workforce. However, certain challenges and factors are making the recruitment, training and practice environment for primary care physicians and general surgeons increasingly onerous."
The AOA believes that health care reform must include provisions that provide for a stable and predictable reimbursement system for all physicians, with additional bonus payments for primary care physicians. Additionally, Congress should make changes to the graduate education program to allow for growth in the number of residents training in the United States and for the use of nonhospital training sites such as Community Health Centers.
Finally, the AOA believes that Congress must begin to address the relationships between educational debt, training opportunities, and professional compensation and the decreasing numbers of primary care physicians and general surgeons. "Small physician practices make up the backbone of our primary care system, yet unduly suffer under our current health care system," DiMarco said. "With the baby boomer population quickly aging and the time needed to educate and train new physicians, we must begin to train a new cadre of primary care physicians now to meet future workforce needs."

From sun up to sun down, life on a farm requires plenty of hard labor, long hours and little time for rest. Melissa Gray wouldn't have it any other way.
With a flock of prized East Carolina Corriedale sheep, horses, chickens, rabbits, pigs and more, raising livestock has become a full time job for Gray and her husband Joe on their six acre farm in Richlands. They feel that farming pays the bills and builds self-sufficiency and character.
"This is what we do," Gray said. "We do it seven days a week."
A former veterinarian technician, Gray has learned what it takes to raise healthy sheep through much trial and error over the past 10 years. She prepares her own nutritious treats for her flock, sells quality lamb for consumption to families and makes soap out of their milk. With each named after a celebrity or movie character, the sheep have become stars on the farm and beyond.
"Here we have Elizabeth, Captain Jack Sparrow and the Dutchman from 'Pirates of the
Gray and her 10-year-old son Braden came home top winners at the N.C. State Fair sheep show last week after two of their sheep won ribbons and pewter plates for N.C. supreme champion junior ewe, N.C. born and bred champion ewe, supreme champion fleece and other honors. Judges thoroughly examine the sheep by "cracking the fleece," looking for excellence in color and textures of the wool.
"We did better this year than we've ever done," she said. "It's been five years since I've shown any sheep at the state fair but the judges liked what they saw."
Gray grew up around horses in
"Kids who grow up having chores and responsibilities grow up healthy, grow up with a work ethic, they grow up responsible and they know what it takes to make things happen," Gray said.
She also teaches horseback riding and farming skills to children who don't have an opportunity to spend time with animals. Gray invited five of her young farmhands to accompany her to the state fair after spending several weeks practicing and preparing the sheep for showing.
"Every day you have to walk with them and make sure that they don't try to get away from you," Gray said. "The girls came out every single day for 20 minutes from the end of July until the state fair. They put in a lot of work and had never shown sheep before."
Gray has also developed her own unique skill from shearing Corriedale sheep. Gray is self-taught in needle felting, a laborious process of binding wool fiber by stabbing it with a barbed needle. The process transforms the soft wool into sturdy lifelike sculptures, puppets and other creations from her imagination. Her collection of squirrels, sea turtles, jellyfish and tigers has taken hours of work and practice, but Gray admits that she learned the skill by surprise.
"I'm not artist, I can't even draw a cube," Gray said. "For some reason, I can look at a picture and make a three dimensional image from a flat piece of paper."
After visiting the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival, she noticed children playing with puppets made from faux fur.
"I wondered why they weren't made out of wool," Gray said. "I came home and developed my own way to make them. I print out pictures online and then I dye the wool based on what I want to make."
Out of 500 art entries, her sculptures have since won best in show at the festival. In January, Gray was asked by Vogue Knitting Magazine to submit several sculptures for a gallery event in
"They will call me about January and tell me that they don't have anymore of my work and they sold them all," Gray said. "I have to keep making new pieces and sculptures to keep up."
Gray and her family will travel to the Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair in
"At some point I hope to have a gallery show, that would be really cool," Gray said.
