Originally found here (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id;=29108) - This, in my opinion, is a nice pitch structure. It covers everything over the main course of the story and fits in one page. What gets me best is the separation of Concept, Story, and Hook. What it is about. What the storu flows like. And why people would read it. Great pitch example as I go about formulating mine.
I, Zombie
Pitch for a Five-Issue Mini-Series
THE CONCEPT: A zombie story from the zombie's point of view. A revisionist horror tale where the undead are the sympathetic characters and the living are the monsters. When the walking dead descend on a secluded mountain town, it's the few survivors who eventually demonstrate the greatest capacity for violence, perversion and evil. The zombies, on the other hand, are simple creatures, who like innocent newborn babies have very basic needs: they hunger, and they feed.
THE STORY: When his secluded mountain town is inexplicably besieged by the walking dead, Postal clerk Willie Scruggs frantically makes his way across town to the sanctuary of the local church, expecting to meet up with his loving wife, but instead finding her in the arms of another man. During the ensuing scuffle, Willie is bitten by one of the converging zombies. Locked out of the church, poor Willie is soon zombified himself.
When one family leaves the church, hoping to drive to the next town, and then returns a few days later as zombies, the other twenty survivors resign themselves to waiting out the siege. Despite their living quarters, the survivors spend little time worshipping or praying. Unable to deal with their outrageous situation, they instead degenerate into a haze of alcohol and sexual abandon. The only outsiders are the awkward, overweight Albert, Carol, a teenage girl who lost both her parents, and the priest, who's suffering a breakdown, since he assumes that the Rapture has come and he's been left behind.
Meanwhile, Willie mills around outside with the hundreds of other zombies. Led by the faint vestiges of instinct or memory, he goes to his old job every morning and sits in the same spot with his old buddies, all now zombies too. He wanders aimlessly through his house and the remains of his former life.
Driven to a lustful rage by the debauchery around him, Albert rapes Carol, and as punishment, the other survivors feed him to the zombies. Soon the humans are making armed assaults on the zombies, hunting them through the woods. Men and women alike take perverse joy in shooting their former bosses, old lovers and annoying neighborhood kids. They mutilate the dead and keep score on who downs the most.
Whenever one of the humans slips up (gets drunk and falls off a ledge, crashes their car on a grocery run), the zombies are there to devour them completely, leaving no shred of meat behind. The human survivors on the other hand leave half-eaten gobs of food all over town. While the humans argue over money pilfered from the dead, the zombies mill about in the bank, tramping blindly over piles of cash. As the sexual escapades of the survivors spawn jealousy and violence, the zombies lie together, oblivious to one another's nudity or sex.
Soon, a drunken mishap with a flamethrower leads to the destruction of the grocery store and with it, the only food supply. As food begins growing scarce, some of the survivors plan to make a try for the nearest town, but find that someone has trashed the engines on their vehicles. As the weeks go by, their starvation and paranoia lead them to begin hunting, murdering and eating one another.
Once the primal descent reaches its zenith, the traitor within the humans is revealed to be Carol, who's been morbidly disturbed ever since her rape. In conjunction with her suicide, she opens the doors of the church, letting in the zombie hordes. Willie's wife, who's been stricken with guilt for months, ends up half-eaten and zombified. Her former lover is skewered on an iron fence and served up like a shish kabob for the undead. In the end, once the survivors are completely wiped out, Willie passes his legless wife, clawing helplessly in the dirt. He doesn't pause, doesn't blink, doesn't remember her at all. He just wanders on, looking for his next meal.
THE HOOK: "I, Zombie" is a different take on the genre than current books like "Walking Dead "and DC's own "Toe Tags." It's a dark, pessimistic tale that should appeal to fans of straight-forward horror work as well as those who prefer their monsters more ambiguous. "I, Zombie" is the thinking man's flesh-eating, cannibalistic gore-fest.
I've decided to let script #1 sit for a few days before the first revision. I want to have 'fresh' eyes when I go back to give it a more critical look.
In the meantime, I've decided to start working more steadily on an indie book project. It's an Academy setting that takes place in Chicago that starts as a rivalry between two schools, but evolves into something bigger than the students at both realize.
Of course, it's involving superhuman students (from Mystical characters, to genetically enhanced characters, to mutants, but of course), but throws them all into the same bag in a world that doesn't treat one type any differently than the other. After all, does it really matter if the kid that can throw a car with his mind was genetically engineered to do so, cast a spell to do so, or was born with the ability to do so? Not particularly—especially not in the eyes of someone having said car thrown at them.
The assembled cast has come together pretty well, I'm happy to say. And the rivalry in the first issue should be fun as heck to go over.
All in good fun. All in good fun.
On editing.
Cutting parts out of a piece of writing, or in this case, a script, is probably one of the most difficult parts of the writing process, in my opinion. Sure, you have the occasional easy snip, where you come across a scene or a portion of dialogue that doesn't further the plot, or overcomplicates things, or what-have-you issue. In these cases, a simple pruning here and there can be all you need—and it's an easy decision.
But what if that's not the case? What if you're given a 22 page maximum for story, and you run to 24? You have two pages to cut… and you have no idea where to cut it from. All the pieces of dialogue, the scenes, they all serve to further the story and propel the plot. Where to you snip?
That's been the difficult decision. I have, literally, 2 pages to cut from a script. But every scene furthers story, and the dialogue has been paced through panels to not over crowd and to pace the narrative.
So… what do you cut?
So far, it's been stray panels here and there, combining scenes, shrinking panel sizes to fit more to a page—things of this nature.
It's still a royal pain though… how much do you sacrifice before you harm the story?
Not an easy call in any case.
So, I've decided to start writing about the creative process as I finish a script and start working on two other projects.
There's nothing quite like the nervousness that wracks you when you take on an ambitious project, working with established characters and starting to craft a story—not one that is going to be cosmic in scale. Not one that is going to alter the landscape of any books dramatically… but a character piece that delves into the motivation and self-discovery of a character. One that has been established and needs a little attention now and again.
You find quickly that, as you cycle through ideas and plots, that a lot of antagonists are simply replaceable. In many cases, antagonists, while propel the story and can be very interesting in their own rights, are secondary to how they can service the main characters.
For example, in my current project script, I've changed the villain at least three times. I finally settled on one that wasn't used very often, but still fits the purpose. The villain, itself, did not serve any purpose than to facilitate the necessary obstacles for the main character.
It has been said that if you take dialogue you have written for a character, and can have it said by any character without any difference in impact or wording, then the dialogue was bad. I believe this wholeheartedly. I also believe it is true for stories—and something to that effect has been said many times over.
It all depends on twist and how the characters relate to it. In this case, the main character doesn't even tell the story for a good portion of the book. It is being told about him. To view him and his actions through the eyes of another before delving into his perspective.
It's been interesting so far.
The writing process is always so organic if you let it be. There were certain circumstances that I wanted to see in the issue before writing in-depth. I had them plotted. I had them there. Then, as I wrote the script, the characters basically said: no. This is not happening. Re-write this.
That connection, when you feel the characters speak as you write or type, is such a thrill… because when you listen to how they want it to flow, everything just comes out so easily.
It's not perfect, no draft ever is, but you have a more natural transition through the story and scenes. It is due to times like those that I enjoy writing.
Good Morning, everyone.
I'm writing this to appease a bit of curiosity, and to ask an interesting question: What do you all think of Internet Friendships? The Insightful Bunch and I had an interesting discussion on some of this a few days back, but I was curious as to what the community as a whole thought. As a psychology student, I find human behavior and motivation rather interesting—obviously, or I wouldn't be a psych major. However, as someone who has had and developed several friendships online, I have to ask: what do people think of this?
Do you view people on the internet as just blips on a screen—or do you actually think of them as people? Do you ever want to be friends with anyone you have met online via a site like this or others? Do you feel comfortable speaking about normal every-day things like you would with a friend in the physical world (e.g. what is going on with you, stuff about your life)? If so, do you feel you have to know someone for X amount of time, or is it a comfortability thing?
These are general questions, to be sure… but I think it would be interesting to get a gauge on people and how they view things. I know people who play it very close to the chest with anything personal, but like talking about movies and games (and obviously comics), and I know people who seem to not care too much about being mysterious or cautious, and will talk freely about things.
In my personal experience, I have made friends online that have lasted over a decade. These people I speak with online, have spoken with on the phone, and even in cases in the Chicago area where I live, have met up for concerts and events (friends met off of a band's forums, for example). I still talk and hang with these people when I can—and I still talk and keep in touch with those out of state. But, from what I've seen so far, this is about a 50/50 split. Some people trust no one online and keep everyone at an arms distance, others are more casual and open up over time.
That being said: humor me if you well, how do you feel about his? How do you view your 'internet friendships' or acquaintances?
Maybe deciding to quit smoking cold turkey whilst in the middle of a creative project was a bad idea.
Let's think about this for a moment. I'm in the process of working on getting a skeleton frame work for two webcomic ideas and formulating a script for another project. The latter is stressing me out a little; especially since I'm at the phase where I look at everything written for the arc, then scratch me head and go: well… maybe this will produce the desired character change better—which in turn changes EVERYTHING that I could possibly do with the summary as written thus far.
Add to that the quitting smoking thing? Yeah… I am not the happiest camper at the office today.
The most unfortunate problem is that it's effecting the writing process. Ideas seem shoddy and hastily assembled. Nothing passes inspection. I look at ideas I have forwarded to others to look over and just go: ultimately, all of those are crap.
It's hilarious; or would be, if it weren't me.
Funny part is, I truly like the ideas I have put down so far because I can see the script and dialogue in my mind—almost like a slideshow as I read myself the synopsis. Seems I just need to work on condensing that into something mentally digestible.
Anyway… I wonder…what're the most annoying obstacles people have had to work around while in the middle of a creative project/endeavor?
This is something that I've been thinking about for some time, and honestly, something that I believe should be done. However, questions remain; primarily: how do you redeem and rebuild a character that has been so utterly dumped on in recent memory. I see three possible outcomes for Hellion at Marvel's current rate: 1) Julian rises above all adversity and becomes a hero; 2) Julian is beaten down so far that he becomes a villain of large proportions; 3) They do nothing and he fades into obscurity.
Ironically, as a very big Hellion fan (the depths of which I have finally admitted), I want NONE of the above to occur. Why? Because none of them would do him justice. Let's think this through, shall we? Julian starts as a womanizer (detention for unbuttoning Emma's blouse, anyone?), an instigator, an arrogant jerk, and near Magneto-ideological ideas (remember his speech when the FBI took Wither?). People will point to these exact things and say: why does ANYONE like Keller? When he was this person? Only a few. But, there was something that was added that was the redeeming quality: the fact that he would do practically anything for his friends.
This willingness is displayed when he goes after Wither, when he calls on family contacts in homeland security so he and his friends can get to his parents' place, when he flips out when Brian dies, and several times with Laura. This was just the tip of making his character something more than the 'arrogant jerk.' Through the course of Childhood's end and the New X-Men series, he continued down this line. He was growing as a character. He was still arrogant, yes. He still had a temper, yes. But he grew more ready to help his friends, easing out a bit of his 'I'm awesome, everyone else sucks' juvenile attitude. His attraction and silent relationship with Laura seemed to help this process. As he seemed to give her humanity to a degree, she seemed to calm him. A great pair. One I am very upset was shattered—but more on that later.
Additionally, let's touch on the Kingmaker storyline. Julian's wish was to be a hero. Was this out of a desire for the limelight, or some deep-seated need to want to be not only important, but a good guy? I feel it is the latter. Dipping into Hellion's psychology, I believe that the brash, bully, arrogant exterior is due to insecurity over the way his family treated him, and being just… well, a kid about his parents being so rich and everyone else's being so poor in comparison. In short: the guy never grew up! His time with the X-Men, though, was shaping that. Then… he lost his hands. And his mind, as well, apparently.
After the loss of his hands, we got to see emo Julian. While the handicap is understandably going to cause a great deal of mental trauma, Julian reacted rather… insanely. And for a very long period of time. Yes, I understand his frustration and pain. And the one person who I think he needed there the most (Laura) up and vanished on him. In his mind, I don't think he really had anyone. He watched people moan and complain about their losses, comforting one another. X-Men treat death as a revolving door, but his hands are forever gone. Yeah. Bitterness. Then, let's add that whenever someone tries to help him, he feels it is patronizing and gets pissed. He was hurt. Drastically. I personally believe, that if Laura were there for this, he would not have fallen down that slope. I don't blame Laura, I blame the writers on this front. From Julian's perspective, he lost his parents (they moved and abandoned him without telling him), his hands, the X-Men already abandoned him once (when he woke up in the hotel room), and now the girl he was finally admitting to himself that he loved… just vanishes when he needs her the most. Is it any surprise he killed someone? The boy had nothing left to lose. There was no further down he could hit, in his mind.
Then, we get the Liu treatment in X-23. Stalker Julian. Be with me or I will make snarky remarks and yell at you until you agree to be with me. Or leave. And, Laura left. Are we surprised? Honestly, I'm not.
So… the natural question is: how does Julian Keller get 'fixed?' The answer is simple: we break him completely. This might sound odd coming from someone who just said how much Hellion was thrown under the bus and complained about it. And, really, what else can be done to drag him down even further? The answers to these questions are very simple and are a classical part of redemption stories. Julian must be broken in spirit. He must be shown, full force, what path he has chosen and what it has cost him. And it must be shown that it was all –his- choice. He must be forced to admit to the issues, or at least see that there was another way. Then, once he is at the bottom, and the alcoholic termed 'moment of clarity' hits… well, then Julian can start to climb back.
And what about Julian and Laura? As much as I love them together… it can't be. Not now. Laura needs to experience more of a normal life and Julian needs to put himself back together. Ideally, I would see them as friends… then –slowly- rekindle the attraction and a love between them. Once both can fully appreciate it and have 'grown up' in their own ways, I feel that this would be an extraordinarily strong bond.
And, that, my friends, is how I feel we could reconstruct Hellion.
Oh, look... a blog.

'Carrie'–a musical prelude to Halloween
More News from Walter Ang
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Atlantis Productions will stage the suspense-horror musical "Carrie" in the weeks leading up to Halloween.
The musical is based on Stephen King's best-selling novel (first published in 1974) about a girl who is bullied in school and suffers under a cruel mother. She soon discovers a special power that she wields over her tormentors.
Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo headlines the show as the titular character's mother Margaret White, while Mikkie Bradshaw ("Rock of Ages," "Nine," "Disney's Aladdin,") will play Carrie.
An upcoming film adaptation has Julianne Moore as Carrie's mother and Chloe Grace Moretz ("Hugo," "Kick-Ass," "(500) Days of Summer") as Carrie. Prior to this version, there was a 1976 film adaptation directed by Brian De Palma, starring Sissy Spacek in the title role.
The musical version debuted on Broadway in 1988 with book by the film's screenwriter Lawrence Cohen, music by Michael Gore ("Fame," "Terms of Endearment"), and lyrics by Dean Pitchford ("Fame," "Footloose").
The 1988 version was critically panned and closed after only five performances. The incident was notorious enough to be immortalized in the title of Ken Mandelbaum's book "Not Since Carrie: Forty Years of Broadway Musical Flops."
Last year, a reworked version by the original collaborators was staged on a limited engagement Off-Broadway, earning numerous nominations from different award-giving bodies.
Atlantis is staging the 2012 version. "It is a beautifully tragic retelling of the Cinderella story with an amazing Broadway pop score," says Atlantis' artistic director Bobby Garcia, who is directing the show with Jamie Wilson as assistant director and Ceejay Javier as musical director.
Choreography is by Cecile Martinez, with set design by Otto Hernandez, lighting design by Martin Esteva, sound design by Bobbit Jacinto and costume design by Raven Ong.
"Carrie the Musical" runs Sept. 20 to Oct. 6 at Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza Bldg., Makati City. Tel. nos. 8927078, 8401187 or 0917-8381534. Visit atlantisproductionsinc.com. Tickets also available through Ticketworld at 8919999 or ticketworld.com.ph.

Godsmack has released "Generation Day," a second song from its upcoming new album "1000hp." Unlike the title track and first single, a straightforward rocker, "Generation Day" is one of the album's more experimental pieces, and frontman Sully Erna tells us the quartet enjoyed stretching out further while writing and recording it: " 'Generation Day,' it's almost a seven-minute song, so I can't see it being a radio piece but I sure think it's gonna be a great live piece, and it really feels right to me. It feels modern 'cause, really, what it is, it's about us realizing we're a little bit old school, still. I still listen to vinyl records, and the whole analog world is becoming obsolete to the digital world, the Internet and all that. It's just realizing one day our generation day is gonna be shot, that's it, and we're trying to preserve whatever's left of it." "1000hp" is due out August 5, and Godsmack hits the road to headline this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival tour, which kicks off August 15 in suburban Detroit.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Quiet and cosy two bedroom apartment, independent part of jowner's property with own entrance. One double and one twin, sitting/dining room with French windows giving onto large balcony with beautiful views. Fully equipped fitted kitchen, large bathroom with bath/shower and toilet. Entrance hall by front door leading to outside dining area in garden by the front and the side of the apartment with BBQ area. There is secure parking on this gated property. Shared use of solar heated swimming pool, all set in a closed garden of about one acre with fruit and olive trees. French and English spoken.
We retired to the South of France after living and working in South East Asia for over 35 years. Born in England and France, both of us had been expatriates for most of our lives.
Denise & David Marchington purchased this apartment in 1991
We wanted to live away from cold northern winters. Fayence appealed because we have friends in the area and we bought the house because of its location near to the village and the magnificent views towards the mountains to the north and west. We love the area.
The view with the constantly changing colours and light, the quietness and the convenience. We love to sit by the pool on a summer's evening, sipping a glass of local rosé and watching the colours change as the sun goes down.
Peaceful, lovely scenery, welcoming and attentive owners .... the perfect base for exploring the region with Cannes, Nice, Monte Carlo and Verdon Gorge all in easy travelling distance. The property literally has every thing you need whether you intend to spend most of your time there or use it as a base to explore the region. Would go back without hesitation.
Even after having read all the very positive comments and reviews , our three weeks stay at Les Cheminees nevertheless exceeded our expectations with regards to the quality of the house ,the amenities , the swimming pool and the quietness.
David and Denise are great hosts , always available for information and to lend a helping when required.
We have been in a lot of houses and apartments in France , Italy and Portugal in the past years but this one really stands out !
Needless to say we plan to come back again .
Hans , Carola and Emma
Our family of three spent ten wonderful nights at Les Chimenees in late summer 2013. We found what, for us, was the perfect balance; wonderful views, fantastic pool, a rural setting yet with walkable ameneties, fine food and drink close at hand, privacy, much of interest locally and the best of the Cote d'azur within striking distance.
The apartment is very comfortable and has excellent facilities. The kitchen is well stocked, the pool equipment superb, while there are plenty of little touches such as picnic gear which you don't often find elsewhere. The pool and poolside are well designed and maintained and a very pleasant spot to while away a few hours.
David and Denise were the perfect hosts, welcoming and helpful, respectful and accommodating. They are full of local knowledge, and are great company over a game of boule, but beware, Denise is a deadly shot,
We would certainly recommend Les Chimenees. A fine base away from the chaos of the coast, but close enough to dip in at your leisure.
Andy, Elaine and Martha.
As the title suggests we truly felt we had found a little piece of heaven with this wonderful apartment in its truly delightful and peaceful setting.
The apartment was very well equipped, has WIFI ( a must for the kids) and English TV. The pool facilities, the apartment balcony and the BBQ area have stunning views across the surrounding countryside.
It is within easy walking,distance of the local village of Fayence which has many restaurants and a local market three times a week.
A car would be recommended to explore further afield as there is so much to see and do. We made several trips to the lake where we took a picnic and hired a pedalo for 3 hours or more and enjoyed a lazy afternoon on the crystal clear waters of the lake. We made trips to St Tropez and Nice and a day at the beach at St Agulf. We even spent a few enjoyable hours in a glider at the local gliding school.
The owners of the apartment David and Denise were superb hosts and made us feel very welcome and gave us invaluable information about the local area (and wine!) to make the most out of our visit.
Truly a holiday to remember.
This is certainly an apartment we would recommend!
We are a family with two small children and lived here for three weeks this summer. In addition, we received a visit from grandparents for a week, when they lived with us here. This was three fantastic weeks.
Fayence is a beautiful little village with beautiful surroundings. Several really nice restaurants nearby (some of them are recommended in the Michelin guide), close to the beach both at the local lake and the Riviera and other excursions. This flat is also a short walk to the town center with shops, bars, restaurants, markets, etc., which also makes it very easy to go out for dinner with kids at the evenings.
In addition, it has a great pool area that is perfect for both children and adults, lawns for various activities, loungers, barbecue and own boule court:-) That means it's great to be here during the day the whole family. The apartment is well equipped with everything a family needs.
We also wish to thank the familiy and hosts for fantastic hospitality. They are so helpful with everything you need and made our holiday in Fayence a wonderful stay.
We really hope that we can come back next year, to visit them and Fayence.
A Sanctuary,
Our family of four ( two adults and two boys aged 10 and 13) have just returned from Fayence . We would definitely like to return.
The apartment is well equipped with good beds , a proper bathroom, a well equipped kitchen and a wonderful balcony for outside meals and evening drinks. Modern facilities like satellite (ENG/FR) and high speed Wi-Fi works well. The fact that the apartment is part of the house is not a concern as no sounds are heard between the units.
With a wonderful pool area, situated in the middle of a one acre garden, you are guaranteed peace and quiet even though the house is situated just a few minutes walk from the center of Fayence.
All required shops and restaurants are in fact in walking distance from the house, but a car is advisable in order to reach larger stores for a greater variety of food and other purchases. The area is excellent for early morning walks, but be prepared for steep hillsides. Strolling through the narrow clean streets of Fayence you have a good blend of shops for tourists, bars and restaurants all situated within a village that bring you back to medieval times.
Thanks to the owners on site presence, you have a fully serviced local tourist information when required and they will always fix anything related to the apartment and facilities available to you on the premises.
A true resting place – a Sanctuary.
CC, Oslo – Norway
The property is situated 600 meters from the centre of the beautiful perched Medieval village of Fayence, one hour from Nice Airport, between Grasse and Draguignan and close to Lac de St.Cassien which offers swimming, fishing, pedalos and sailing. Gliding from the internationally renowned centre, horse riding and golf are also available and the towns of Cannes, Nice, Monte Carlo and St. Tropez are all within easy distance. For the keen walkers the dramatic Gorges du Verdon are also within easy reach.

Very simple! First, free the wheel from the rail - should come right out if the wheel is broken. Then click the wheel base off the small shelf rod by rotating the wheel bse. Then, click the rail end cap off the rail by pressing it through the small square hole in the flat side of the rail. Insert the wheel into the rail, then click the wheel base back onto the shelf rail rod where you took the old one off. Click the rail end cap back on, and you're done!

TO BREAK through a hard thing, you have to be even harder, or you'll just break yourself. So what is it about the hammer of the peacock mantis shrimp - which delivers one of the fastest blows in the animal kingdom - that makes it so tough?
The creature's front claws have evolved into clubs that can move at up to 23 metres per second, and deliver a force of up to 1500 newtons, equivalent to the weight of a 150-kilogram mass. Clubs are replaced when the animal moults, but not before they have delivered thousands of powerful impacts.
David Kisailus at the University of California, Riverside, and colleagues looked at the clubs' structure to find out how they tough it out.
They found that the head of the club is mostly made of two layers of a tough mineral called hydroxyapatite, which is also found in bone. Beneath that is a layer of chitin, the polymer that crustaceans use to make their shells. The three layers differ in how bendy they are, so it's hard for a crack that forms in one layer to extend into the next, preventing its spread (Science, DOI: 10.1126/science.1218764).

Dreaming big dreams.
That simple, yet gigantic step is usually the first step to success in any endeavor.
For countless boys growing up in Kentucky, playing basketball in the recreation leagues, middle schools and high schools that dream starts with eventually wearing a blue and white uniform and running onto the floor at Rupp Arena.
Somewhere along the way, the cruel realization hits that the dream is bigger than one's basketball ability.
Jarrod Polson was no different.
In many ways, that is.
Former Anderson County High School girls' basketball star Makenzie Cann has left the University of Cincinnati program.
Cann confirmed her decision in a Twitter message to The Anderson News on Saturday.
Cann saw action in all 31 games for Cincinnati last season, starting once. She averaged 7 points a game.
She had a season-best 23 points against Central Florida in the AAC Tournament. The next game, eventual national champion UConn ended Cincy's season. The Bearcats finished at 8-23.
DANVILLE – With 100 yards to go, it was obvious the only hurdle keeping him from a conference championship was simply missing a hurdle.
Duncan cleared the remaining barriers in his romp to the Central Kentucky Conference title in the 300-meter hurdles. The Anderson County junior finished more than two seconds ahead of second-place finisher Chapman Bean of Boyle County, who was running on his home track.
Just another Anderson County-Shelby County baseball game. Just another nail-biter.
And just another night when an unlikely source turned into a hero for the night.
Anderson County sophomore John Paul Garmon homered to lead off the bottom of the sixth, giving the Bearcats a 2-1 win over Shelby County in 30th District action Tuesday night.
Garmon's blast, his first varsity home run, punctuated a Bearcat victory that clinched the top seed in the district tournament, set to get underway May 18.
From staff reports
The eighth annual Beast of the Bluegrass will take place on Saturday, May 16 at Eagle Lake Convention Center Expo 2. The national qualifying strong man contest will get underway at 11 a.m. with doors opening 30 minutes earlier.
Competitors from around the nation are expected to compete, according to event organizer Dave McCann.
The Anderson County Bearcat Basketball Camp will be held from June 8-11 at various local school gymnasiums, according to a news release.
The camp times are 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., with camp staff present an hour before and after each camp session, the release said. The camp is open to children entering kindergarten through the eighth grade.
The camp offers individual and team instruction, competitive games and drills, team competitions, individual awards and a learning atmosphere, according to the release.
A group of local citizens have formed a non-profit organization and begun a fundraising venture to assist with future improvements of the Anderson County High School athletic facilities, according to a news release.
Comprised of a school administrator, several former Anderson County athletes and local citizens, the Bearcat Pride Foundation plans to be involved in fundraising for improvement of the current high school athletic facilities, the release said.
Pitching and defense had carried Anderson County to a 23-5 record and a No. 6 in the Kentucky Softball Coaches Associaion poll before the Lady Bearcats entertained Louisville Butler last Thursday.
But even after Ally Moore's one-hit gem to beat the Bears, 1-0, the Lady Bearcats were spending time in the team batting cage after the game. A long time.
The Anderson County softball team learned much about itself during the Best of the West Classic, held at Buchanan Park in Bowling Green Friday and Saturday.
The Lady Bearcats lost to top-ranked Bowling Green and fourth-ranked Male before recovering to defeat 10th-rated Union County in a conglomeration of some of the best teams in Kentucky.
The Lady Bearcats are 25-7 with one game left before district tournament play begins.
Three entries from the Anderson County High School tennis program advanced to the Region 8 semifinals, but all were eliminated by entries from South Oldham.
On the girls' side, senior Hannah Wampler saw her high school career come to an end one win short of a state tournament berth when third-seeded Natalie Dearen of South Oldham defeated Wampler 6-0, 6-4 in the regional quarter-finals held at Western Hills High School in Frankfort.

Great Expectations
A novel by Charles Dickens (1812 – 1870), which first appeared in All the Year Round in 1860–61, and in book form (three volumes) in 1861. While living with his abusive sister and her genial husband, the novel's protagonist Pip Pirrip briefly encounters and assists an escaped convict, Abel Magwitch. When the boy is summoned to the mysterious Satis House by reclusive Miss Havisham, he falls in love with her cold-hearted ward, Estella. Pip aspires to social advancement, and assumes the eccentric old lady is his sponsor. Reunited with Magwitch, he becomes conscious of darkness at the heart of his supposed rise in fortunes. Great Expectations is a Bildungsroman, tracing the development of its protagonist. Ultimately Pip's values are shattered, as he reassesses the meaning of being a 'gentleman'.

We have days in this congressional session to pass ENDA in the House.
Seven in ten Americans and a majority of U.S. Senators agree: it's time to pass federal legislation that gives workplace protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.
No one should lose their job for being who they are. But in 29 states, there's no state law against firing or refusing to hire someone because they're lesbian, gay or bisexual. If you're transgender, it's a whopping 33 states.
Send a message to Congress now: tell them to push for a House vote on ENDA.
ENDA must move forward

L.K. Advani is expected to resign as Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha on Friday. Sushma Swaraj is tipped to take his place.
On Saturday, at a scheduled meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Party's Parliamentary Board, a decision is expected on endorsing Nitin Gadkari as the next party chief after the end of Rajnath Singh's tenure.
However, the formal taking of charge by Mr. Gadkari, now Maharashtra BJP president, will take place some time in January as per the party organisation election timetable.
The changes will mark the overhaul of the party leadership after the 2009 Lok Sabha election debacle.
Authoritative sources confirmed that a meeting of the party's parliamentary party — comprising members of both the Houses— has been scheduled for Friday.
According to the script, Mr. Advani will resign as the Leader of the Opposition; the parliamentary party will then amend its constitution to create the post of chairman of the parliamentary party, to which position Mr. Advani will be elected; and simultaneously, Ms. Swaraj, at present Deputy Leader of the Opposition, could be elected the Leader of the Opposition.
Party leaders have pointed out that Mr. Advani and his band of dedicated followers have decided to emulate the Congress — Sonia Gandhi is chairman of the parliamentary party while the two Houses have their own leaders.
Since the BJP's parliamentary party constitution has no provision for such a post, it will be specially created for Mr. Advani. This position is not a constitutional office and the two Leaders of the Opposition — Arun Jaitley in the Rajya Sabha and Ms. Swaraj or whoever replaces Mr. Advani in the Lok Sabha — will enjoy Cabinet position. Mr. Advani as chairman will not.
It seems that Mr. Advani's followers had to convince the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh to agree to amend the parliamentary party's constitution as it normally resists changes that are tailored to suit an individual.
BJP's party office-in-charge Shyam Jhajhu confirmed that a meeting of the Parliamentary Board was scheduled for Saturday afternoon. This is to be followed by a meeting of party office-bearers and then a formal announcement would be made about the party consensus on Mr. Gadkari as the next party chief, though he will take charge later. Mr. RajnathSingh is expected to announce his decision to make way for Mr. Gadkari.
The former Goa Chief Minister, Manohar Parrikar, is tipped to become a key general-secretary in Mr. Gadkari's new team.

#3 Interior Proposal to Cut 7% of its Workforce
From Federal Times:
The Interior Department is developing a plan to cut almost 5,000 jobs by September 2013, according to a memo this week from a top agency official, but a spokeswoman for the Office of Management and Budget downplayed the likelihood that the plan will take effect.
#2 Senate Rejects Pay Freeze Amendment
From Federal News Radio:
The Senate has defeated an amendment to a transportation bill that would have extended the federal pay freeze through 2013.
In a 57-41 vote, lawmakers rejected the amendment, introduced last week by Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.). The measure needed 60 votes to pass.
#1 Senate Passes Transportation Bill
From Federal Times:
The Senate passed a transportation bill Wednesday that would allow federal employees to retire part-time and work part-time at the end of their careers.
The bill, S 1813, easily passed the Senate, 74-22. It will now head to the House, where House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has pledged to bring it up for a vote.

#2 OPM ends flexible-schedules experiment after mixed success
From Federal Times:
Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry on Tuesday said his agency will not continue its experiment with extremely flexible work schedules because the program ended with mixed results.
The Results-Only Work Environment pilot program allowed about 400 OPM employees in Washington and Boyers, Pa., to decide on their own when and where they would work, as long as their work got done. OPM launched ROWE to much fanfare in June 2010, and Berry frequently spoke that year about his hope that it would radically overhaul the federal government's workplace culture, and lead to a new way of managing employees.
#1 Fed says 15 of 19 major US banks able to pass stress test; Citibank, 3 others fail
From Washington Post:
All but four of 19 major U.S. banks got a green light Tuesday from the Federal Reserve to boost their dividends and take other steps that will make their stocks more attractive to investors. The Fed declared them strong enough to survive a downturn worse than the Great Recession.
The Fed's findings signaled its confidence that the financial system, which nearly collapsed 3½ years ago, is healthy again.

Card or Power Limit?
Hey guys, I have a GTX 260 that right now maxes out at 702/1404. Im fine with this overclock, however what bothers me is what happens when i try to increase this amount. I put the card at 729/1458 and it runs fine for an extended period of time however inevitably locks up the system after enough time. No graphical errors or anything, just locks up. Does this translate to a limit on the card, or is it a voltage issue or something causing this? Any ideas welcome guys, thanks :)
Re: Card or Power Limit?
It's most likely that the GPU on the card needs more voltage to run at those speeds. At 700mhz it's already quite a ways above stock

Court: Return woman's medical pot seized in Yuma
PHOENIX -- An Arizona appellate court has ruled that the Yuma County sheriff must return marijuana that was seized from a woman with a California medical marijuana authorization honored by Arizona.
The Court of Appeals' ruling Thursday said medical marijuana seized from Valerie Okun must be returned to her because Arizona's medical marijuana law allows people with medical marijuana authorizations from other states to legally possess marijuana in Arizona.
The marijuana was found Okun's vehicle at a Border Patrol checkpoint near Yuma. State drug charges against her were dismissed after she showed she had authorization under California's medical marijuana program.
The Arizona court declined to consider prosectors' argument that federal drug law invalidates Arizona's medical marijuana law.
The Court of Appeals' ruling upholds one by a Yuma County Superior Court judge.

Yes, a single nucleotide deletion can restore the function of a protein-coding gene interrupted by the insertion of a 4 nucleotide sequence. Deletion of 1 nucleotide from the inserted 4 nucleotide results in 3 nucleotides. 3 nucleotides in a sequence of the mRNA (messenger RNA) is called a triplet codon, which encodes for a specific amino acid. Each codon consists of 3 nitrogenous bases. In each codon the first 2 bases of an mRNA codon always forms strong Watson-crick base pair with their corresponding bases of the tRNA anticodon and confers most of the codon specificity. But the 3rd base on the codon pairs very loosely with its corresponding base in the anticodon. Translation occurs when triplet nucleotides are read in a successive, non overlapping fashion. A specific first codon in the sequence establishes the reading frame, in which a new codon begins every 3 nucleotide residues. Shift in a single nitrogenous base disrupts the reading frame, which in turn changes the whole amino acid sequence of the peptide chain. Deletion or insertion of one or 2 base pair alters the sequence of triplets in the non overlapping codon. This is known as frameshift mutation. Following this change all amino acids encoded by this sequence of mRNA is affected due to a change in the reading frame. As a result the peptide chain encoded by this mutated nucleotides in the mRNA is completely different from that of the original peptide chain.
Hence, the proper reading frame is restored by deleting one nucleotide.

DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.
FIRST TIME OWNERS When you bring a new puppy into your home, it's a time of great excitement for everyone involved: you, your kids, your neighbors, and even the dog. Here's our guide on what to expect and how to handle the transition without losing your mind.

Real Housewives of New York star Ramona Singer has been verbal about her troubled childhood and her alcoholic father's abuse — and in a final act of retribution — she was left completely out of the family will, it's been claimed.
Singer, the oldest of four children, was set to inherit an equal part of her parents' estate. But it wasn't until their father lost his battle with diabetes that they discovered he'd purposely cut two siblings from the will, her outspoken brother said.
"Naturally, us four children would have inherited my parents estate, if my father would have died first. That was not the case. When our mother died, he changed the will – Tanya and I were the only ones named," Singer's brother Bohdan Mazur wrote in his memoir, Aspen, Snow, Blow and Bo.
PHOTOS: The Craziest & Most Outrageous Celebrity Rumors — What's True, What's Not?
"My father left Ramona out because she already had millions," he claimed. (In addition to Singer, her sister Sonya was also left out of the will.)
Mazur didn't appear to have any qualms about his father's choice, claiming Singer owned a "two million dollar pad" in Manhattan's Upper East Side, had a "live in Filipina maid," and drove a "one-hundred thousand dollar Jaguar."
PHOTOS: "Real Housewives": Best or Bust?
"She would soon find fame," he wrote about her gig as a Bravo reality star.
"Ramona Singer Pinot Grigio would become her trademark drink in years to come."
