Jordan Adds Assistant to Staff: New Mexico State volleyball head coach Mike Jordan announced on Tuesday, Aug. 6, that he has added Ben Wallis to his staff as an assistant coach starting immediately.
Willis returns to NM State after coaching at the University of New Mexico for the past two years. His primary responsibilities with the Aggies include scouting, defensive games plans while also assisting with recruiting, camps and on-court coaching. Wallis, who is now in his second stint with NM State, brings more than a decade of coaching experience with him to the program. He was an assistant under Jordan from 2006-08.
Before Wallis helped UNM coach Jeff Nelson he was the head coach for Cleveland High School in Albuquerque from 2009-11. While there, he led his team to the state final in just his second year of the program's existence. Wallis also gained experience as a varsity assistant coach at El Paso Franklin High School, Rio Rancho High School and as a head coach at Gadsden High School in Anthony, New Mexico.
WAC Preseason Poll: The Western Athletic Conference office announced today that the league coaches have selected New Mexico State to win the WAC regular-season crown in 2013. The Aggies received seven of the nine first-place votes from the conference coaches while two NM State players were selected to the 2013 Preseason All-WAC Team.
The Aggies earned 62 points, followed by Idaho who tallied 58. Utah Valley was picked third and Seattle U was picked fourth.
WAC Preseason Team: Senior middle hitter Desiree Scott and senior outside hitter Lauren Loerch were selected to the WAC Preseason team as selected by the league's coaches. Scott, a 2012 all-WAC selection and a 2012 WAC all-tournament selection, played in all 124 sets during the 2012 season. She finished the season as the Aggies' top blocker with 152 total blocks, including 27 solo blocks and 125 assisted blocks, all of which were tops on the NM State team.
Loerch, a 2012 second team all-WAC honoree, quickly became an integral part of NM State's WAC championship team during her first season with the Aggies. She was one of only four Aggies that participated in every set (124) during the 2012 season. Loerch's 316 total kills and 2.55 kills/set average were both good for second-best on the NM State team.
NM State Takes 2012 WAC Tournament Title: The Aggies went into the WAC Tournament as the No. 4 and defeated No. 2 seed Idaho in the tournament title match. The Aggies became just the fourth team in the 15-year history of the event to win the title. Stephanie Ziegler was named to the all-tournament team.
Aggies in NCAA Tournament: NM State went to its sixth ever NCAA Tournament and first since 2008 last December. The Aggies fell to No. 16 Brigham Young in straight sets while Loerch led the way with seven kills. Desiree Scott posted four blocks on the evening. The Aggies were held to a negative hitting percentage while BYU posted a .351 hitting percentage as a team. NM State was defeated by a tough Cougar team that posted 12 total team blocks and marked only 11 attack errors.
NM State Seniors: The Aggies are stacked with seniors on the team as there are seven total this year (including redshirt seniors). Leading the pack of seniors are Stephanie Ziegler, Desiree Scott, Lauren Loerch and Ciara Brown. Ziegler posted a team-high 3.04 digs per set last year, while added 26 kills, 28 assists and 19 service aces. Scott was among the leaders in the WAC in blocks (1.23/set) and hitting percentage (.369). Loerch was a second team All-WAC selection and Brown was one of two setters used last year leading the team with 5.94 assists per set. Senior Hannah Walker tallied 2.87 digs per set last year but may have to sit the season out due to an injury. Red-shirt senior Shebli Goode will sit the 2013 season out due to NCAA transfer rules.
2013 Aggie Schedule: The 2013 NM State volleyball schedule features 16 home matches, a home tournament and a trip to Honolulu.
The 16 matches at home are the second most ever played in Las Cruces, but is the highest number of matches played in the Pan American Center. There were 17 home matches in 2006, although the majority of those matches were played in the Las Cruces High School Gym.
NM State immediately heads out on the road playing in two different tournaments. Two of the six teams the Aggies play in those two weeks finished in the top 15 nationally in 2012 according to the AVCA Top 25 Coaches Poll.

The focus of the University of Florida College of Dentistry Continuing Education Department is service – the service of continuous dental education for dental professions – not just in Florida but also from other areas of the United States. In order to be the best at continuing dental education, we always have our eye on the future of learning and communication, as well as the future delivery of oral health care.
The digital age has changed so much. How we deliver and receive information is just one small part of it but that part has revolutionalized almost everything about education. As such we are always looking to the future to serve you, our customer, better. We strive to keep our courses contemporary and relevant to the practicing dental professional. To that end you'll see new courses such as "Digital Implant Dentistry" and "Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Interpretation" in our course guide.
We also strive to use contemporary communications channels to share course information, updates and course materials. Several years ago we added QR scan codes in our marketing materials and you will also see them in this course guide.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. government was poised to partially shut down for the first time in 17 years late on Monday, as House Republicans clung tenaciously to their demand that any agreement to fund federal agencies must also undermine President Barack Obama's 2010 health care law.
With a midnight deadline fast approaching, the House voted 228 to 201 to approve the third GOP proposal in two weeks to fund the government — a plan that would delay enforcement of the "individual mandate," a cornerstone of the legislation that requires all Americans to obtain health coverage in 2014.
The White House quickly vowed that Obama would veto the proposal, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., convened the Senate less than 30 minutes later to reject it.
"They've lost their minds," Reid said. "They keep trying to do the same thing over and over again.
"We are not going to do anything other than wait for them to pass" a simple bill to keep agencies open, Reid said.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, replied that the House would not accept a "clean" funding bill, one without provisions to defund or delay parts of the health-care law. "That's not going to happen," he said.

We're all looking forward to October 22nd and this year's Vapefest in Tamworth, however there are some folk who think that it's just too far away for them to vist. Good news then that there is an alternative vapefest on the very same day, a mere 3,662 miles to the West of Tamworth, in Richmond Virginia, USA….
I'm sure we'll all raise a vaping device of choice and salute our colonial cousins on a day which is now a truly transatlantic celebration of vaping and vapers!

Lead the Crowd, Rule the Sidelines
It's the first football game of the season. The stadium is packed. The game is tied with 10 seconds left and your team is on defense. Who can muster up enough noise to regain possession and help lead the team to victory? The cheerleaders of course! Use these spirit raising techniques to lead the crowd and rule the sidelines this fall.
1. Be Loud
Together as a team, cheerleaders can use their voices to inspire the crowd to rally together! One person alone only sounds like noise, whereas a joint effort with clear intentions of yelling a single phrase together can impact the outcome of a game. The next time your football team is in the red zone, begin a slow chant. As you continue, grow louder and more energetic!
2. Be Sharp
Want to help your fans yell the words to your cheers at the right time? Be sharp! Hitting your motions together on exact words will give your fans visual timing to yell with you. Sharp signs will keep the rhythm and pace of sidelines, so even the students in the highest bleachers can shout the words at the right time.
3. Be Personable
One factor that gives all cheerleaders an extra edge is being personable. Chances are that the same parents, teachers and students will show up at every game and sit in the same section; this is your chance to make your own raving fans! Learn your fans' names and make it a point to go say hello before the game starts or during halftime. You'll be spending several hours cheering with them, so it's a great idea to know who they are.

Update: It appears that DRM talks are ongoing, and no final decision has been made. Know hope.
Good news is almost always coupled with bad news. This is as true in gaming as in any other part of life. With the official news that Dark Souls is coming to PC, this rule holds true. As Nathan Grayson points out, there's always a catch.
The bad news is that Dark Souls is using Games for Windows Live (GFWL) instead of a service like Steam for its DRM.
"By and large, it's a port about as straightforward as a monster whose single, child-like aspiration in life is to brutally maul you," writes Grayson, "but it'll have two new treats in tow. Well, OK, one of them – new bosses – is a treat. I'm hoping, of course, that it's an in-game manifestation of Microsoft's much-maligned "service" that'll supplant the current final boss. It'll hurl login errors, connection drops, and convoluted menus at us, and we'll stab it to death – just like I've always fantasized. I suppose, though, that it wouldn't be Dark Souls without some hair-pulling punishment."
Sigh. This was not the punishment we had in mind. As Grayson notes, the trailer (which you can watch here) looks awesome. Being able to wander the halls of Anor Londo from the comfort of your gaming rig sounds scarily fantastic. And yet…
"Shame it's going to be burdened by GFWL, which – while highly obnoxious and certainly worthy of discouragement – shouldn't be the sole reason droves of people steer clear of a wonderful game," Grayson continues. "So, anyone up for another petition?"
Several commenters have suggested the same thing. From Software obviously took heed of the last petition, why not start another one?
And since this is the internet, after all, I'm sure somebody is typing one up even as we speak. More likely, there's one already out there, gathering steam as it were.
P.S. It's been pointed out that it's quite possible Dark Souls could be released on Steam as well as GFWL. I'm honestly not sure whether this will happen or not. Thoughts?

Leukemia - Acute Myeloid - AML - Childhood - Subtypes [1]
ON THIS PAGE: You will learn about how doctors determine the subtype of AML. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
AML blasts are classified based on how much they look like normal immature bone marrow blast cells, and more recently, on the genetic testing of the leukemia cells (see the Diagnosis [3] section). In the recent past, AML was divided into eight major subtypes according to a system called the FAB classification scheme (using levels M0 to M7). Now, a new method of subtyping AML is used that takes into consideration the cytogenetic causes of AML. This is called the World Health Organization (WHO) 2008 classification. These subtypes include:
- Acute myeloid leukemia with recurrent genetic abnormalities
- AML with t(8;21)(q22;q22); RUNX1-RUNX1T1
- AML with inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t(16;16)(p13.1;q22); CBFB-MYH11
- Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with t(15;17)(q22;q12); PML-RARA
- AML with t(9;11)(p22;q23); MLLT3-MLL
- AML with t(6;9)(p23;q34); DEK-NUP214
- AML with inv(3)(q21q26.2) or t(3;3)(q21;q26.2); RPN1-EVI1
- AML (megakaryoblastic) with t(1;22)(p13;q13); RBM15-MKL1
- AML with mutated NPM1
- AML with mutated CEBPα
- Acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes
- Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms
- Acute myeloid leukemia, not otherwise specified
- AML with minimal differentiation
- AML without maturation
- AML with maturation
- Acute myelomonocytic leukemia
- Acute monoblastic/monocytic leukemia
- Acute erythroid leukemia
- Pure erythroid leukemia
- Erythroleukemia, erythroid/myeloid
- Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia
- Acute basophilic leukemia
- Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis
- Myeloid sarcoma
- Myeloid proliferations related to Down syndrome
- Transient abnormal myelopoiesis
- Myeloid leukemia associated with Down syndrome
Information about the cancer's subtype will help the doctor recommend a treatment plan. The next section helps explain the treatment options for this type of cancer. Use the menu on the side of your screen to select Treatment Options, or you can select another section, to continue reading this guide.

"In the club, high off purp, with some shades on," she intimates on the hook of her first rap song before going into a verse about her Jordan Wolf Grey kicks. Quite frankly, she is living the rap dream.
As "23" is currently at number three on the iTunes' hip-hop charts, Miley's hip-hop stock is only rising. It appears she will evolve into the next biggest white rapper since Eminem, alongside hip-hop's upcoming royalty Big Sean, who tapped her to appear in his latest video, and Bad Boy's French Montana called her a genius in response to the hate she's accrued since that fateful VMA performance.
Next up for the young MC (get it?!) is a feature on the remix of Kanye's "Black Skinhead". Who gon' stop her, huh?

Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB SSD Review
Kingston's new HyperX 3K 240GB has been fighting an uphill battle from the day it was first introduced. Drives sporting its integral SandForce SF 2281 have been on the market for the better part of a year and many are well established while retaining lower price points. But Kingston does have some tricks up their collective sleeves which may allow yet another cookie-cutter drive stand apart from the competition.

Nemesis is the fourth and final DLC for Call of Duty: Ghosts. It features four new multiplayer maps and the final episode to the Extinction saga called Exodus. Nemesis was released on August 5 for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, and like the previous DLC packs, the PlayStation and PC version was available one month later on September 4.
An abandoned gold mine with narrow tunnels and a central elevating platform. The treacherous shafts are ideal for close-quarters combat.
An abandoned Canadian submarine base. Medium-sized map based on the traditional three-lane design mixed with short- to long-range combat.
Chinese lakeside village surrounded by mountains. Medium-sized map with a variety of elevation.
Small-sized map based on the Shipment map from COD4: Modern Warfare that's been re-imagined as a futuristic death arena.
The Nemesis DLC has 9 normal Extinction mode achievements + one secret achievement.
Invasion is Ghosts' third DLC update and it features four multiplayer maps and the next installment in the Extinction series, Episode 3: Awakening. The DLC was first available on the Xbox on June 3, while PlayStation and PC players had to wait until June 2.
Medium-sized map set in a rural Mexican town featuring a classic three-lane design.
Medium-sized multi-level map located in an archeological site of an ancient Egyptian palace. The map features a variety of surprises, including flesh-eating scarabs and collapsing monuments.
Pirate hideout located on a remote Caribbean island packed with many "treasures" for players to discover.
Alleyways of Brazil mixed with vertical gameplay. Refreshed version of the MW2 Favela map.
The Invasion DLC pack has 10 new unlockable Extinction mode achievements.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (AW) is the next COD game developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be released on the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC on November 4. The game will be the first in the series to have a three year development cycle.
The futuristic exoskeletons in COD: AW give players new abilities like boost jumping, sliding, and dodging - the exosuits can also be upgraded with Exo Abilities, like cloaking and hovering. Customization options have also been tripled, for example the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Weapons have received a new Heavy Weapons class and there are over 350 custom guns in the game.
Advanced Warfare features an upgraded version of Black Ops 2's "Pick 10" system. With the new "Pick 13" system, players can choose their Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Scorestreaks as a part of their loadout, or skip them entirely and spend the points on other items. All the scorestreaks in the game can be upgraded to have new features, for example, the Turret killstreak can be upgraded to a rocket launcher or an energy weapon.
There are only 15 perks the game, but compared to Ghosts, they are more powerful on their own. Also due to the exosuits, some of the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Perks have been turned into Exo Abilities, which in turn makes the multiplayer more balanced and prevents overpowered loadouts.
All the COD: AW pre-orders will receive a bonus map called Atlas Gorge, which is a remake of Pipeline from Call of Duty 4. Sledgehammer Games has already confirmed that there will be four map packs released in 2015 and they will be included in the games Season Pass. Like with Ghosts, the Xbox platform will be getting all the new Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Multiplayer Maps one month before the PlayStation and PC versions.
The second DLC pack for Ghosts, called Devastation, features four new unique maps, a hybrid 2-in-1 weapon and the second Extinction episode called Mayday. Devastation was released on April 3 for the Xbox and May 8 for the PlayStation and PC.
Takes place in Columbia on a massive excavation vehicle. Behemoth is a small-sized map with narrow paths and multiple levels; the map offers great flanking opportunities for players.
Takes place in a Mayan ruin located next to a volcano on the brink of eruption.
Small map situated in the heart of an alien dig site. Unearthed's design has been heavily influenced by Dome, a Modern Warfare 3 fan-favorite.
Medium-sized map located in New York. The action takes place on a crashed cargo ship with shipping containers, vehicles and other debris scattered across the deck.
Ripper 2-In-1 Submachine Gun / Assault Rifle
The Ripper can be configured as a short-range SMG or a long-range Assault Rifle. The weapon's SMG / AR mode can be switched on the fly, giving the user a huge tactical advantage.
The DLC has 10 new unlockable Extinction mode trophies.
The first COD: Ghosts DLC, Onslaught, offers four new multiplayer maps, two new weapons and the first installment of Extinction's four-part saga called Nightfall. The DLC was released on January 28 for the Xbox 360 / One and one month later on February 27 for the PlayStation 3 / 4 and PC.
Medium-sized map located next to a fog-shrouded lake inspired by classic horror films. Fog features a dark and eerie campsite, twisting caves and abandoned structures.
Small-sized map set on a Californian boardwalk. BayView features fast-paced action with quick engagements mixed with verticality.
Medium-sized map that takes place in a war-torn Mexican village. Mixture of abandoned buildings, a poll hall, and a church offer a variety of close-quarter and longer-range engagements.
Located in a space launch facility with rockets crash-landing into the area. This fast run-and-gun combat map is inspired by Scrapyard from Modern Warfare 2.
Maverick Assault Rifle & Sniper Rifle
Dual-purpose weapon that can be used either as an assault rifle or sniper rifle. The Maverick AR is fully automatic and deals devastating damage at close range. The Maverick-A2 sniper rifle is semi-automatic with decent fire rate and deadly damage from the waist up.
The Onslaught DLC contains 11 Extinction mode achievements for you to unlock.
Infinity Ward has released some new information about the classes available in the new Extinction game mode in Ghosts. The new game mode forces players to use anything and everything at their disposal against the alien hordes. Four character classes with different abilities are available to help maximize the team's changes in fighting against the odds.
All four classes (Weapon Specialist, Tank, Engineer and Medic) gain levels as the game progresses, which further improves their abilities.
Weapon Specialist
The team should consist of a variety of classes, which allows all the different abilities to complement each other - this way you'll stay alive longer.
Activision has released the first gameplay footage of the dynamic Free Fall bonus map. Fans who pre-order COD: Ghosts will get the downloadable bonus map with the game - a similar deal is also available for COD: Advanced Warfare.
Free Fall drops you and your teammates into a shattered skyscraper on the brink of collapse. The map features close-quarters combat that's thrown into overdrive as the skyscraper continues to fall during the match.
Checkout the trailer below.
Activision has released a new trailer featuring the "Extinction" alien co-op mode. Extinction is an all new 1-4 player co-op game mode to the Call of Duty series featuring a unique blend of fast-paced survival action, scavenging, base defense and leveling.
Checkout the new trailer below to see how the Extinction mode works.
With Ghosts being released a little over a week from now, the PS4 case cover has been leaked online by someone from the Spanish branch of the GAME retailer. Although the case is in Spanish, you can see that the game will require 49GB of hard drive space, which is almost the full size of a Blu-ray disc.
The PS4 version of Ghosts has now been confirmed to be running at full 1080p HD via various sources, but the Xbox One version might be running below that due to console limitations - it's left to be seen if the next COD game (Advanced Warfare) will be able to overcome these problems.
Sony's PlayStation Store is currently listing "1080p HD Video Output" for the digital PS4 version and a few days ago Scott Lowe, from IGN, tweeted that their Ghosts Squads Mode coverage is from the PS4 version at 1080p. Adam Boyes, Sony's Publisher & Developer Relations, has also confirmed at the Brazil Game Show that COD: Ghosts is native 1080p on the PlayStation 4.
Rumors have now started that the Xbox One version of Call of Duty: Ghosts is running at 720p since some first-party games, like Ryse, have been confirmed to be below 1080p. Albert Penello, Microsoft's Director of Product Planning, tweeted a few days ago that the Xbox One version looks great, but he didn't confirm or deny if the game is running at 720p.
Albert Penello: "I've seen COD: Ghosts running on Xbox One. It looks f'n amazing. Wait for real footage, then judge for yourself."
After that it gets interesting; Penello revealed on NeoGaf yesterday that he contacted the Xbox third party relations executive about Ghosts' Xbox One resolution, but he was just replied back that "you don't need to know".

God bless America – land of beauty pageant contestants who can't walk for sh*t. Yes, it's time to add falling on your ass to our long list of national traditions, alongside burgers, barbecues and baseball. In last night's Miss Universe pageant in Vietnam, Miss USA Crystle Stewart of Texas secured a spot in the Top Ten and then blew it when she tumbled during some dress-y walk. Her recovery attempt of cheering for herself and then executing a crushing death stare at the judges did nothing for her chances, and she lost to some hot chick from Venezuela. This is the second time a Miss USA has taken a tumble in the Miss Universe competition – last year's finalist made it to the Top 5, even after a spill in the evening gown competition. At least our American losers can forever bond over their sore asses.
Watch and laugh above.

The event starts at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, August 10th and continues Saturday, August 11th, from 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. The recharge concludes with a session from 9:00 a.m. to noon on Sunday, August 12th. It will be held at a private residence in King Of Prussia, PA. The suggested donation is $100. Please contact Jeannette Mock at (804) 714-6469 for more information or to register.
For the past three years, the Food Addiction Institute has been holding weekend groups to support food addicts to recharge their recovery. There have been FAI recharge weekends in Sarasota, Florida; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Ocean City, New Jersey; and Richmond, Virginia. There is no fee. A donation to the FAI is requested.
The weekends are not therapy. They are workshops led by recovering food addicts for other recovering food addicts and for those who want to check out whether or not they are chemically dependent on food. They are for those not needing hospitalization or direct medical supervision to work on physical, emotional-mental, and spiritual issues of recovery in the addiction model.
The weekends follow the format of recharge weekends sponsored by residential food addiction treatment programs in the 1980's and 1990's. They are led by recovering food addicts with experience facilitating recovery groups, usually volunteers from the staff of professional food addiction recovery programs or members of the FAI/ACORN Food Addiction Professional Training Program.
At the weekend, everyone chooses an abstinent food plan. If they decide to use this after the weekend, they agree to check it out with their physician, dietician, or therapist. Participants commit their food specifically at the weekend to a peer sponsor in the group. There are process groups in which participants check in about whether or not they are abstinent, what they are feeling and the issues on which they would like to work. There is then an opportunity to work on their issues and get feedback from the group. At the end of the recharge, everyone makes a plan integrating their learning from the weekend into their recovery and their life.

Gear Question
anyone know the linear dimensions of this...
anyone know the linear dimensions of this pack? 45L might be awkwardly large for a backpack without any straps, if it is not loaded to capacity
Let me know specifically what measurements you'd like and I will measure mine. As you said, if not loaded to capacity it can be a bit awkward. However there is a gear loop near the top of the back panel where you can attach heavier items to keep the load inbetween your shoulders.
Here is a quick video that might answer some questions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHmL2bRm4iQ&feature=em-upload_owner

Interview with... Jonathan Trigell
Art forms:
Sally Trivett interviews author of award-winning and critically aclaimed 'Boy A' about his writing... and how to get started down that long road...
How did you 'break in' to writing when you were younger?
I think I always wanted to write really, it has certainly been where my only real talent led me. I wrote a story when I was seven or eight which won a local prize.
Then when I was at secondary school my English teacher once told the whole class that I was going to be the next Jeffrey Archer. Which of course makes me shudder now, from both literary and moral standpoints, but I believe was intended as a compliment back then.
The idea for Boy A, my first novel, came to me in a late night chat with some friends and it just felt like something important that needed writing. This idea of someone appearing in the world as an adult, but with absolute innocence of the fundamental things of life and having to live in fear of their past catching up. I wanted to ask a lot of the reader, to see if they can examine their own moral certitudes sufficiently to feel for someone who has apparently done something so terrible.
The majority of it was written as my thesis for a Creative Writing MA at Manchester University. I had written the start and some other parts of it several years before hand, but wasn't really spending enough time on it and figured that doing the MA would be a good way of knuckling down to it and at least coming out of the end of the process with some letters to my name, if the book didn't get published.
Having finished Boy A, I was taken on by the first agent I approached, which makes you think you're pretty much there, but it was still a long process after that. There was talk about auction situations and big advances, but in the event, the manuscript was turned down by a lot of editors, maybe even double figures, before the relatively small independent publisher Serpent's Tail picked it up.
Do you have any tips for young writers?
Plan the plot as rigidly as you can.
With Boy A every chapter began with a letter, like a child's book. The first line is: "A is for Apple, a Bad Apple." And it continues like that through to Z. This fitted in really well with the overall theme of three lost childhoods, but was also great for planning, since from the beginning I knew there had to be exactly 26 chapters; obviously in some ways restrictive, but simultaneously extremely liberating. I guess this is part of the reason people often write poetry to deliberately circumscribed forms, like sonnets, because working within strict limits frees you in other ways. So if you know you have exactly 26 chapters and you know you have certain events that you want to put in, then it becomes much simpler to plot and to see yourself making progress and you know roughly how long each chapter must be. If you write more in one it buys you leeway to write a shorter chapter later.
I suspect that a lot of writers probably work this way, even it isn't visible to the reader. I was once talking to Jon MacGregor (who recently won the massive Impac Prize) after a reading we did together, and he said that in his first novel - If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things - he decided he would have precisely 18 chapters, from the first person perspective, because the book is tied up with twins and that is the combined gestation period of a set of twins. But he never expected or even particularly wanted anyone to notice that, just thought it was a useful device to focus himself.
In my second novel, Cham, I used 20 chapters in the present, which is the approximate length of a ski season in weeks, but that was really quite an arbitrary decision just to help with structure.
Similarly, in my latest novel Genus I started with 23 Chapters, because it is all about genetics and that is the number of pairs of chromosomes that a human has (although I think I ended up with quite a few more chapters than that in the event, it was still a useful place to begin).
A lot of books that don't look like much happens are actually the most carefully plotted. Having a plot doesn't mean that people have to be kidnapped and cars blown up, but the reader needs to know what's at stake. The more subtle the plot the more important it is. Otherwise you just have some beautiful sentences and no story, which is unsustainable over the length of a novel.
What are your solutions to problems, such as writer's block?
I start most writing sessions with editing some previous chapters. I find that helps to remind me of the style and aims of what I'm doing, as well as constantly smoothing and improving things. It also means you get straight back into work mode, instead of staring at an empty screen.
Also, I try and end each day at a point where I know what is going to happen next and ideally have a few notes and rough sentences down, because I find that really useful in getting going. It is much better for me to write a little bit less than I perhaps could have one session in order to get right into it the next. Although it is very satisfying to finish for the day with the last full stop of a chapter, I find I then set myself up for an unsuccessful next day. Because the hardest thing for me is to overcome that looming blank-page. Once I'm flowing it comes more naturally.
I always compare it mentally to the description in Jack London's Call of the Wild, where the dogs have to pull the sled that has frozen to the spot overnight, and as soon as they have broken the ice and moved it an inch they pull it almost effortlessly, but to overcome that initial inertia, requires every ounce of strength they possess.
Has your education been a good preparation for life as a writer?
My tutors at Manchester University, particularly Anna Davis, who is a novelist herself and now runs a course at Curtis Brown Creative (http://curtisbrowncreative.co.uk/ ), were really supportive and that helped tremendously.
Also the sense of solidarity with the rest of the group and the fact that you have kind of thrown your hat into the arena, so you have to make a go of it; rather than just tinkering away on your own, which is a very personal and almost secretive activity. I don't think you need to do a university course for that though. Writer's groups and circles probably fulfil that role equally well.
Are there any inspirational books, people, or teachers, which have impacted on you later on?
Anna Davis, as above. And I had this English teacher – Mr Johnson – he helped in a more abstract way, just because he was so passionate about books and literature. The first time he ever taught me, he kind of flew into the room and he had this string of spittle stuck between his lips and he didn't even notice because he was so excited telling us about Macbeth, but even the spittle was weirdly beautiful because I was watching someone who cared so much about communicating their subject.
Finally, are there any points of interest about your personal works, your genre, success and awards you'd like to share?
Well, I'm not really a genre. I like to think I'm at the accessible end of literary. Although my latest novel, Genus is technically Sci Fi, I guess. It is set in a near future London, where those who can afford to can genetically select and enhance their children and have been able to for a few generations, until it has become quite normal and commonplace. But the result of this is that life chances come on a sliding scale according to wealth and an underclass, who cannot afford any improvements, has evolved. In a large part though it was a way of looking at the Britain of today: some of the issues of opportunity and immigration, through a different lens.
Regarding awards (This is cut and pasted from my publisher's site):
Cham was shortlisted for the Boardman Tasker Prize.
Boy A won the Waverton Award for best first novel of 2004; the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, for best book in the Commonwealth by an author under 35; and the inaugural World Book Day Prize, for the most discussion worthy novel by a living writer. Boy A was turned into a film by The Weinstein Co. and Film 4; directed by John Crowley and starring Andrew Garfield and Peter Mullan. It won a total of four Bafta Awards in 2008; the Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival and the Jury and Public Prizes at the Dinard Film Festival.

But what about a child who does not have a jacket?
Sellers Funeral Home has organized Coats for Kids, a campaign to collect winter coats for families in need.
"Coats for kids are where businesses and individuals from the community are asked to clean their closets and give those coats to the Sellers Funeral Home, and we will make sure they get to that child that needs them," said Senator Richard Alloway.
It's an event that has collected thousands of coats for families in need. Many locals have continued to show their support by dropping off hundreds of coats at the funeral home.
However, organizers say their mission to make sure every child has something warm to wear this winter is not finished.
"Well we're a little short! We're coming into the closing weeks so we need another 500 or so to make our goal and we're making a plea to the community," said Senator Alloway.
"It warms my heart that some kid can have a coat that will warm his heart as well," said Harry Black, Coats for Kids donor.
The Coats for Kids campaign continues through Tuesday, and with several hundred coats still needed to meet their goal, Senator Alloway is asking the community to drop off your coats at the Sellers Funeral Home in Chambersburg this week.

For Immediate Release Contact: Gail Towns or Tara Strickland

firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com
Lakewood, N.J., Sept. 28, 2009—A new initiative from Georgian Court University aims to help educators and professionals become more effective in their work with students who have autism.
Education experts at Georgian Court are launching the Autism Institute for Training and Applied Research, a series of training sessions, lectures, and discussions for classroom educators, teaching assistants, and therapists working with youngsters who have autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
A new $188,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will fund the program, which begins in December. Participants will meet in eight training sessions held during the academic year and four consecutive sessions during the summer. There is no cost to participants and all sessions align with New Jersey Professional Development Context and Content Standards.
"Specialized training for educators of students with ASD and specialized training addressing the instructional needs of adolescents with ASD are major areas of need," says Lisa Dille, Ed.D., a GCU assistant professor of education.
Figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that about 1 in 150 children have autism nationwide. In New Jersey, the disorders affect about 1 in 94. The prevalence of the disability in this state has led to an increased need for teachers who have the special skills needed to reach children on the autism spectrum. For children affected by the disorder, their symptoms can run the gamut, including limited speech, a preference for objects rather than people, and difficulty with making eye contact.
GCU educators are looking beyond the numbers and textbook definitions to ways they can help. Results from surveys and interviews conducted in 2008 by the GCU School of Education reinforced what college-level professors suspected—that there is a definite need and demand for specialized teacher training, especially as classroom educators work with students who are transitioning into adolescence and adulthood.
"Many of the students who were diagnosed early on are now aging up," says Dr. Dille. "How will we meet their needs as they grow into adolescents and adults? Ultimately, if you help teachers, you help families," she adds.
GCU School of Education professors are helping classroom teachers meet the needs of their students in two ways—through the Selected Strand in Autism Spectrum Disorders, a set of five graduate courses that act as a concentration within the Master of Arts in Education, and through workshops developed just for special education instructors.
Equipping teachers to reach students and their families is critical, according to GCU educators who want to help instructors bolster students' social skills and social communication.
"There's a need for continuous services at school, at home, and in other settings," Dr. Dille says.
For more information about the Autism Institute for Training and Applied Research, visit www.georgian.edu, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, or call the Georgian Court University School of Education at 732.987.2753.
Founded in 1908 and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, Georgian Court University is a comprehensive university with a strong liberal arts core and a special concern for women. A forward-thinking university that supports diversity and academic excellence, Georgian Court serves over 3,100 students of all faiths and backgrounds in a residential Women's College and a coeducational University College with undergraduate and graduate programs. Georgian Court's main campus is located at 900 Lakewood Avenue, Lakewood, N.J., on the picturesque former George Jay Gould estate, now named a National Historic Landmark. Georgian Court also offers classes at its site at 90 Woodbridge Center Drive in Woodbridge, at Coastal Communiversity in Wall, and at Cumberland County College in Vineland.

Form Services - Simplifying Immigration®
To get a family-based Green Card, a foreign national must be sponsored by a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (Green Card holder). Only certain family members are eligible.
U.S. citizens may sponsor the following family members:
Permanent Residents (Green Card holders) may sponsor their:
Getting a family-based Green Card is a two-step process. The first step is the "Immigrant Petition" which establishes that a qualifying relationship exists between the U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident and the Green Card applicant. The second step is the Green Card application. If the sponsor is a U.S. citizen and the Green Card applicant is a spouse, parent or minor child who is currently in the U.S., then these two steps can usually be combined into one. Otherwise, applicants must wait for the Immigrant Petition to be approved before they can move on to the Green Card application.
