Our History
Started by Linda Abraham in the early 1990s, Accepted.com grew out of an editing service working with college students in West Los Angeles. Linda discovered she was repeatedly asked to edit personal statements for grad school. She realized that if she applied journalistic techniques to the personal statements she was editing, she could help applicants make their stories engaging, not merely well-written. Recognizing the demand for a service dedicated to helping graduate school applicants write revealing, compelling, and articulate essays, she founded Accepted.
Our Founder
When you ask Linda why she is so passionate about her work, here's what she'll tell you:
"I've always been fascinated by people's life stories. Ever since I was a young child, I have loved reading biographies. And everyone-not just the famous-has a story. Discovering that story, and helping applicants articulate it, is a fascinating process."
"Additionally, the editing process is a game to me. I was a writing tutor as an undergrad at UCLA and received excellent training there. I found then, and still find today, that figuring out the best way to express a phrase or tell a story is like solving a puzzle. Almost as good as Sudoku."
"Finally, I love hearing, 'Thank you. I'm in!'"

Employment in Northern Illinois has received a temporary boost as Byron Generating Station's refueling outage begins today.
BYRON, Ill. — Employment in Northern Illinois has received a temporary boost as Byron Generating Station's refueling outage begins today. More than 1,700 additional workers will join the 850 permanent Byron Station employees in helping Exelon complete scheduled maintenance and upgrades on the facility. Byron Station will spend $13 million in contracted labor – non-Exelon employees – for the outage and will also pump nearly $7 million into the bottom lines of local vendors.
Most local motels, restaurants and shops from Rockford to Rochelle and many places in between see an increase in customers during Byron Station outages. "Many of our businesses see increased sales during the refueling outages at the nuclear facility," said Deanna Mershon, executive director of the Byron Area Chamber of Commerce. "The extra workers that come through our area buy gas, food and other goods. It can help the bottom line of a business even if for just a few weeks or months." Workers at Byron Station will refuel the Unit 2 reactor, perform more than 12,000 inspections and maintenance activities, and refurbish the Unit 2 cooling tower's interior structure. Many of the activities performed during the outage cannot be done while the unit is operating.
"This is our second consecutive outage with a larger than normal schedule of work," said Byron Station Site Vice President Russ Kearney. "The cooling tower work, along with our other planned maintenance activities, demands a larger supplemental workforce than usual. It means many temporary jobs and an uptick in local business receipts." Residents should be aware of the increased traffic in towns near the plant. While the unit is down, residents should be aware that one of the cooling towers will not produce any water vapor cloud. This is normal during when a unit is taken offline. Byron's Unit 1 will continue to supply clean electricity to Exelon customers during the Unit 2 outage. With both units at full power, the site produces almost 2,300 megawatts, enough electricity for 2.3 million homes. Byron Generating Station is in Ogle County, Ill., about 25 miles southwest of Rockford.
Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with 2012 revenues of approximately $23.5 billion. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is one of the largest competitive U.S. power generators, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and approximately 1 million residential customers. Exelon's utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to more than 6.6 million customers in central Maryland (BGE), northern Illinois (ComEd) and southeastern Pennsylvania (PECO).

The Buffalo Jills select the 2001 squad [10:58 PM]

More than money figured in Smith's release by Bills [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"Some of it was cap-related, and some of it was we didn't feel Antowain totally bought into what we've tried to do here in the offseason, and that's every player's prerogative," Donahoe said during an lunch-time session with the local media. "Coach (Gregg) Williams has come in here with a very strict and a very regimented program. Some players respond to it, some players don't."'
GM candidate coming to town [6:10 AM]
Chicago Sun Times reports: '"What I wanted Tom [Modrak] to do is feel comfortable to go to Chicago, explore it, ask the tough questions," Donahoe said. "And if he didn't get the answers he was looking for, to realize he's got a good situation here in Buffalo."'

Interview with former ST star Mark Pike [8:25 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'No Mark is NOT interested in coaching at a professional level. Mark thinks the degrading of Bills special teams is due to the salary cap and the mid-level veteran purge; he also thinks Gregg WIlliams is on the right track.'
Tom Donahoe press conference [8:24 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: "From a cap standpoint [it's much better to cut than restructure]. The problem with the restructures is that it's just a temporary solution to your problem. It solves it for right now, but it creates a bigger problem next year or down the road. When you release a player, you cut the cord, and whatever cap hit you get, you get, and you can move on. You have to be careful with restructuring when you do that, and that's not the number one option you want to look at."
Donahoe prepared to round out Bills' front office [7:57 PM]

The Buffaloization of San Diego continues [12:14 AM]
The Sporting News reports: 'The Buffaloization of San Diego continues. Soon, they may change their name to the Charge Bills. The only thing new general manager John Butler hasn't brought along with him are Buffalo winters and chicken wings.'
Jags working against proposed realignment [9:02 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'If Tom Modrak wants to work in the NFL this year, his best option is Buffalo...Modrak will be a top candidate for any GM job that opens up the next couple of years. He can bide his time in Buffalo, work with pal Tom Donahoe, and wait for the perfect opportunity to move.'
No surprise as Bills release Antowain Smith [8:48 AM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'A straight-ahead power runner, Antowain was neither elusive, nor a particularly gifted blocker. But his worst short-coming was two skillet hands that caught only 38 passes in four seasons with Buffalo.'
Arrival of Rogers spells send-off for QB Moreno [10:11 AM]

Bills drop Antowain Smith [9:00 AM]

Bills finally cut Smith [7:15 AM]
D and C reports: 'The move cleared $1.25 million -- Smith's base salary -- in cap space. Approximately $352,000 in unaccounted bonus money will count toward Buffalo's 2001 cap, a "hit" the team could've spread out over two seasons had Smith been released on June 1. The amount wasn't significant enough to take advantage of the loophole.'
Bills plan larger camp [7:13 AM]
D and C reports: 'Fearing injuries to players, former coaches Marv Levy and Wade Phillips eliminated full-speed contact from their camp practices. But the energetic Williams, 42, is from a different school.'
Chargers sign Rogers, release Moses Moreno [9:11 PM]
AP reports: 'In his career he has 500 tackles, 21 1/2 sacks, two interceptions, six forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries.'
Bills release RB Antowain Smith [9:05 PM]
Sportsticker reports: '"We liked what we saw in minicamp from our young running backs and want to give them every opportunity possible," said Bills president and general manager Tom Donahoe after waiving Smith.'
Chargers sign LB Sam Rogers to five-year deal [8:12 PM]
Sportsticker reports: 'Rogers, who turns 31 on May 30, started 11 games last season and had 74 tackles, five sacks, one interception and forced three fumbles. The 6-3, 245-pounder missed the final five games of the season with a torn groin muscle.'
When minimum is too much [6:42 PM]
Fox Sports reports: Alex Van Pelt doesn't suffer from delusions of grandeur. The Buffalo quarterback has a handle on his skills and his value to the team. Sometimes, that's not enough. For a handful of backup players on every club in the NFL, the union that was organized to protect their interests often prices them out of the market with the veteran minimum. That happened to Van Pelt last season before a training-camp injury opened the door to his return. "Exactly,'' Van Pelt said. "I was like hey, my union is supposed to be out there helping me, and instead, it's keeping me out of work.''
Bills release Antowain Smith [6:40 PM]
AP reports: 'Along with slashing $1.25 million from their salary cap-strapped payroll, the move allows the Bills to concentrate on developing their youngsters.'

The Helper City Council has already made one decision on its budget for the next fiscal year. It will find $600 to buy 30 memberships in the Boys and Girls Club of Carbon County.
McKell Warburton, the club's director, had asked the city for financial support, but there is no money for it in this year's budget. Helper's new budget won't take effect until July 1.
Meanwhile, the city is amenable to offering in-kind support such as use of facilities for activities or making the city pool available for a fund-raiser for the club.

Record Crowd of 18,859 Watches Creighton Top Georgetown
OMAHA, Neb. -- A record crowd of 18,859 wore their pink and watched the Creighton men's basketball team top Georgetown, 76-63, on Saturday night at CenturyLink Center Omaha.
Creighton (17-3, 7-1 BIG EAST) had five men in double-figures, including Will Artino's 14 that tied a career-high. Ranked 24th in last week's USA Today Coaches Top 25 poll, the Bluejays have now won 12 of 13 games and are alone in first place in their debut season in the BIG EAST. This marks the third straight season and fifth time in the last 12 years the Bluejays have won at least 17 of their first 20 games.
Georgetown dropped to 11-8 (3-5 BIG EAST) while suffering its fourth consecutive defeat. The Hoyas were led by 21 points and five assists from Markel Starks, while D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera added 18 points and Mikael Hopkins 14.
The game was just the second between the new league rivals in history, and first since a 1970 match-up in Florida.
Unlike Monday's game, when Creighton made a three-pointer on nine straight possessions to open an eventual 28-point win at No. 4 Villanova, the Bluejay Express got off to a slow start. CU had just seven points in the first 11 minutes before Ethan Wragge stepped up to get the train back on the tracks. Wragge had three three-pointers and three foul shots in a 15-4 spurt over less than five minutes that put the Jays in front, 22-15, late in the first half. CU would never be threatened again. Creighton led 34-24 at the break behind a dozen from Wragge and eight points by Doug McDermott.
Senior guard Jahenns Manigat scored Creighton's first five points after intermission, but the Hoyas kept at it and used a 7-0 run to draw within 42-36 with 14:43 left before a tip-dunk from Artino swung the momentum back in Creighton's favor. An Artino bucket the next trip down grew the lead 10, and the Hoyas never got closer than eight the rest of the night.
Creighton's largest lead was 18 (58-40) after a 10-0 run that include four points from McDermott, a three-ball by Manigat, a jumper from Devin Brooks and an Avery Dingman free throw.
McDermott racked up his 34th career double-double, finishing with 14 points and 10 rebounds to tie Artino for team-high honors. McDermott's scoring night moved him to 21st in NCAA history with 2,702 career points. Also in double-figures were Wragge (12), Brooks (11 points, seven rebounds, five assists) and Manigat (10). Austin Chatman had nine points, seven assists and seven rebounds. Creighton shot 46.2 percent for the night, including 7-of-21 from downtown, and made 21-of-28 foul shots. Creighton also outrebounded the Hoyas, 39-31, and owned a 25-2 advantage in bench points.
Georgetown shot 39.3 percent overall, and got 10 rebounds by Nate Lubick. The Hoyas made 6-of-20 shots from downtown and 9-of-11 foul shots.
Creighton returns to action on Tuesday when it hosts St. John's at 8:02 pm.
NOTES: Creighton raised more than $48,000 by auctioning off its warm-ups and uniforms as part of the third annual "Creighton vs. Cancer" promotion. More than 16,000 pink shirts were handed out to the crowd, as were commerative "Pink Out" posters ... The crowd of 18,859 was 124 more than the previous best, done in 2012 vs. Wichita State ... Ethan Wragge has made multiple three-pointers in 16 straight games, and became the second player in CU history with at least 300 treys in his career (Kyle Korver, 371) ... Speaking of McDermott and Wragge, Georgetown coach John Thompson III said after the game "They've got the best player in the country and the best shooter in the country, and they're two different players" ... Austin Chatman became the 13th player in CU history to reach 300 career assists. He needed 91 career games, seventh-fastest in CU history ... Ethan Wragge is now 32nd in CU history with 1,039 career points, passing Johnny Mathies ...Doug McDermott moved into fourth place in CU history in rebounds (988), passing Bob Portman.

I have to voice my thoughts here. I am very nervous about that sky crane they are using to land Curiosity on the surface of Mars. Its very risky! Its a very complex method of putting that thing on the surface. I will keep my fingers crossed that it makes it down safely!
|ID: 1257267 · Reply Quote
I seem to remember seeing that the method used with Spirit and Opportunity wouldn't work for Curiosity due to it's increased size and mass. Plus they want to make a pinpoint landing. Other than the possibility of the new system having difficulties another potential hazzard would be one of those infamous Martian dust storms. But I would assume they have planned the landing for a time of the year when dust storms are a minimal risk.
|ID: 1258022 · Reply Quote
Bob is correct that Curiosity's weight is too much for the airbag crash-landing method.
|ID: 1258091 · Reply Quote
Once a lander failed because of different units systems used by the builders and NASA. I hope this time they have used the same system.
|ID: 1258124 · Reply Quote
Well if we can't land a container of sophisticated machinery and electronics softly I think it will be so much longer before we attempt to send humans to the red planet. At least Curiosity is on a one way trip no matter how hard or soft the landing is. On the other hand a spacecraft with humans on board has to land totally intact and be able to launch again with only minimal repairs being able to be conducted. So far I do not recall any rocket making a re-entry into an atmosphere and then launch again without major servicing, except the lunar modules from the Apollo missions. However the moon is less massive and has virtually no atmosphere.

Well , it isn't like they could send a last minute command to fix a problem at that point. We may just have to wait a few minutes longer to find out whether the landing was a success.
|ID: 1261495 · Reply Quote
Its going to be very tense, the landing is just so technical. Fingers crossed here!

Agreed John, all fingers crossed ....

I am following Curiosity on the JPL site. They don't seem to worry much and they give more space to a new amplifier they just built.

Seriously, Ryanair wants comments to be removed? What happened to freedom of speech? What is it they are afraid of? Go Simon!
Donate a dollar to your local food bank, then send the rest to help with The Aviation Herald's leagal bills!
The airline is now upset that this information was released all or in part after they marked the letter "strictly private and confidential". This is an old trick. Once you write a letter to someone (email or text or phone call), you don't get to direct what happens to it. The best way to deal with cheapshot artists is to expose them. Post it on the web, notice boards etc. By doing so, the Herald has shown Ryanair to be a thin skinned bully which enrages them even further.
Well said and I agree totally.
The comments are pretty bad but defamation? Come on, get some thicker skin. You decide:
1. "What would they do ... without their Ground Proximity Warning System? Go to funerals every month I guess."
2. "...the daily near disasters and safety infractions ... !"
3. "Perhaps a testament to ... engineering that those airplanes are not crashing everywhere like fire flies in September!"
4. "...abuse and violations of safety there"
5. "They are a disaster waiting to happen..." implying that there must be some form of intervention "...before he causes a major loss of lives with his silly ideas and tactics."
To boot, I think most of these are PUBLIC comments and not AVHERALD. As with Connors comment here below, just more publicity and something for the lawyers to do.
Most right thinking people are capable of filtering fact from fiction, whether in personal communications, or those posted on the internet, or published in print or on TV. Ryan air attempts to manage the media by being a threatning legal bully.
The legal department should understand that if you don't want to see your communication in print, don't send it to a publisher!
How ironic that the first thing airlines and their insurance companies want to do after an accident is to dismantal the tort system and deprive injured parties their just compensation, but somehow peoples' opinion causes them to feel defamed and want to use the tort system to force their will upon others.
I guess the "right thinking members of society" are ones that like Ryanair....
It's just more publicity... i mean, this kind of stuff has been said about ryanair for a long time... and their "safety record" is kinda already trashed from everything else i have heard. ps lets not say much on flight aware ;)
LOL, would not want to see FlightAware Sued... :)
The owner of Ryanair thinks that he is a direct descendant of a Higher Authority and thus charges like a shark on a frenzy escapade to everybody whom he wants to intimidate. for instance the airframe manufacturers just to force them to grant better prices, but they know him and now ignore him. He also does not lose the opportunity to agrandizze himself treating others like lowely class people, and finally and in a more inmature and stupid manner, he proposes allowing Ryanair to have standing passengers to incrase revenue, or only one-man cres or charding for each visit to the john, creating a lot of irritation to everybody. But we all know him. To hell with this jerk.
What makes this airline so special??? People write nasty comments about many airline throughout the world regardless if they're a legacy carrier, or a Low Cost carrier.
Wow ! I hope the Ryanair people never listen to Jay Leno, with all his humorous (?) remarks about drunken pilots, and other negative comments related to aviation. The airlines he mentions usually just grin and bear it - and the storm usually blows over fairly quickly. Ryanair's "interventions" just guaranteed that this situation will not blow over all that quickly. Defamation is something done with malign intent. Without that intent, all the blathering should be simply ignored.
Nicely put and I agree. It seems O'leary has called off the dogs . . . for now. Probably seeing all the negative publicitiy it was creating. Course, he is all about negative publicity isn't he?
There is a rule. If someone slanders you-ignore it. Nobody heard what they said. But if you demand a retraction or actually sue, then 100% of the population will heard the comment. You would think a company of this size would know better than to be so thin skinned. By placing their products and services in the stream of commerce Ryanair must face critiques. That is the way it goes. Kitchen-too hot, leave.
Ryanair does anything and everything to get publicity!!!
Ryanair is mad that professional flyers know them to be the world's crappiest airline? Too bad.
BOO HOO... What happened to free speech in America.
It's an Irish company suing a UK based website, as far as I know.
LOL, will have to see where it goes. let them have at it.
Simon is Austrian, put your point is still valid.
Doesn't Ryanair bad mouth other airlines in their ads?
Says Ryan's legal wizards: "As you will be aware, you are responsible for the content on your website and are liable as a publisher for defamatory statements which you fail to remove after being put on notice."
It is time that Ryan stopped reading old law books:
"US: Websites not responsible for comments
A California supreme court recently ruled that web sites are not responsible for distributing libelous material written by others on their web sites. The court case has set a freedom of speech precedent for website user comments and postings. The ruling does protect the internet sites but not the actual comment makers, "until Congress chooses to revise the settled law in this area, however, plaintiffs who contend they were defamed in an Internet posting may only seek recovery from the original source of the statement.'' wrote Justice Carol Corrigan.
The appeal decision is based on the courts desire to "serve and protect online freedom of expression and to encourage self-regulation.'' However some wonder if the ruling might result in "blanket immunity for those who intentionally redistribute defamatory statements on the Internet."
Something most comments overlooked- this is the United Kingdom, where the rules are different. Under UK slander laws, Flightaware's UK subsidiary probably could not have the "
Fumble finger error- Shift S and Ctrl S do different things...
to continue...
could not have the "SQUAWKS AND HEADLINES" menu options, because FA would be liable if an unmentioned firm whose name begins with a letter between 'Q' and 'S' was upset with a comment from a poster in the US.
Ok...The public can believe whatever they want. The Aviation Herald has no legal responsibility to research or reference public commentary
(Duplicate Squawk Submitted)
Ryanair threatens The Aviation Herald with legal action
Comments posted by readers on The Aviation Herald regarding an incident where a Ryanair aircraft alledgedly received EGPWS warnings on a visual approach has made Ryanair call foul

Comments about Sea to Summit Dry Lite Towel:
I purchased this to supplement my outdoor gear with a quick dry, small pack, towel. I ended up using it for military trips so far but it is great. I can dry my whole body pretty well and then let it hang outside my pack or in some cases a car antenna to dry in less than 30 min. The only thing I don't like about it is that if feels like a chamois on my skin. A plush cotton feeling would have been better but I suck it up and keep going.

Online HIV Prevention Vignette Evaluation
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This is an evaluation of the effect that an online live action, dramatic vignette about four gay men, two HIV positive and two HIV negative, struggling with the responsibility for safer sex has on the sexual behavior and HIV testing intentions of the gay/bisexual men who watch the vignette and participate in the evaluation study. The primary hypothesis is that men will be more likely to: 1)express the intent to have an HIV test and 2) to express the intent to inform their sex partners of their HIV status after watching the vignette. The secondary hypothesis is that men will be more likely to follow through on these intentions in the three months following the intervention than they were in the three months before viewing the vignette. This is a one group pre-posttest intervention in which each man serves as his own control.

Product Details
Round Air Filter by AIRAID®. Advanced air filtration technology, superior construction and the world's best warranty make an AIRAID air filter the best you can buy. It allows increased airflow and provides better air filtration than the factory air filter, which results in improved performance and engine protection. And if you're ever dissatisfied for any reason, just send it back, no questions asked.
- Improves airflow and engine performance
- Provides superior air filtration and engine protection
- Over 99% efficiency rating
- Available in traditional wash and re-oil SynthaFlow version or non-oiled SynthaMax
- Both filters can be washed and reused
- All filters backed by AIRAID's "No Hassle" warranty
- Proudly made in the USA
All aftermarket air filter companies make claims for better airflow, but how many of those increases come at the expense of inferior air filtration? AIRAID air filters allow increased airflow while trapping the smallest dirt particles, the size that ordinary cotton-gauze "performance" air filters can't capture. In fact, AIRAID filters have over a 99% efficiency rating. And AIRAID is so confident in the performance of their filters that each one is backed by their "No Hassle" warranty.
AIRAID filters come in two versions, the SynthaMax and the original SynthaFlow. At first glance, the SynthaFlow would appear to be just another aftermarket cotton-gauze air filter, but it's much more advanced. The SynthaFlow is a cotton-gauze and synthetic blend that outperforms plain cotton-gauze in clean air testing. The SynthaFlow features "five layer" filtration, with 4 layers of cotton-gauze supplemented by "the last layer of defense", a layer of synthetic media that produces the cleanest air of any washable filter. The filtering media is held together by epoxy coated aluminum wire mesh, specially designed to provide the optimum balance between maximum airflow and peak filtration. The SynthaFlow filter only requires servicing every 30-50 thousand miles under normal conditions, at which time it should be washed and re-oiled.
The SynthaMax is AIRAID's next generation high-tech air filter. It's 100% synthetic, non-oiled and washable. The inner filter media consists of two distinct layers of specifically designed synthetic materials that have separate performance characteristics. These layers are designed to work together to provide outstanding airflow and exceptionally high filtration. Contaminants are first captured by the outer layer of synthetic needlefelt polyester material, designed for wet and dry filtration with high airflow capacity. The inner layer of rayon/polyester captures any remaining contaminants while maintaining high airflow and low restriction. The inner filter media is supported by an inner and outer layer of wire mesh for strength and durability. The SynthaMax filter requires service every 15-30 thousand miles under normal conditions, at which time it should be washed with mild household detergent, rinsed and allowed to dry.
All AIRAID air filters feature a urethane frame, which is much more durable than the rubber used by most aftermarket filter manufacturers. And all panel style filters are made with 304 stainless steel mesh, for exceptional durability. The strength of the stainless steel won't allow the filter to bow in the center, allowing unfiltered air into the engine.
Finally, each AIRAID filter is backed by AIRAID's "No Hassle" warranty. There are no limitations or fine print here. Simply, if you're ever dissatisfied with the materials, workmanship, or performance of this air filter, just send it back... period! You don't have to worry about a proof of purchase or a warranty card. AIRAID filters are warranted for life.47.90 57.90
AIRAID® was founded in 1997 when they began developing and manufacturing air intake systems for light trucks and SUVs, utilizing the cotton-gauze filter technology that was available at the time. These systems increased airflow and performance while being easy to install, and sold so well that the company soon realized that another source of filters was necessary. They believed they could produce a better quality filter using new technology and state-of-the-art materials, and so in 2002 the AIRAID Filter Company was formed. Today AIRAID is the recognized leader in air management technology. Extensive research and development has allowed AIRAID to come to market first with high quality products that improve drivability and performance.

Click this link for the latest CBS renewal / cancellation information:
Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts the network's decision on renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows by the end of the 2012-13 season in May, 2013. (includes results from September 17-October 21, 2012):
|Renew/ Cancel Index
|Made In Jersey (F)
|Blue Bloods (F)
|The Good Wife
|The Mentalist
|Hawaii Five-0
|Person Of Interest
|Mike & Molly
|Criminal Minds
|NCIS: Los Angeles
|How I Met Your Mother
|2 Broke Girls
|Two And A Half Men
|Big Bang Theory
|already renewed
Since 2006-7, CBS has debuted three new dramas every Fall
except one (just 2 in 2008-9) , so CBS typically cancels three of its Fall dramas to make room for three more the next Fall. (Edit: my miscount, there were 3 in 2008-9, thanks Riff!)
With the early cancellation of Made In Jersey, that leaves two more of the current Fall dramas left to be canceled.
Because of the wide gap in relative ratings, they'll pick those two canceled shows from among their four drama ratings "have nots": CSI:NY, The Good Wife, The Mentalist and Vegas.
Sadly, as a wise man who's much closer to the syndication gods than I am noted, we don't have a good handle on what will go into the decision on which two of those four shows get the hook (primarily because syndication economics are invisible to us), but we don't need to in order to know that at least two will go.
Of course, CBS doesn't *always* cancel three Fall dramas. CBS could cancel three and then un-cancel one as they did with Unforgettable last season. And in the Fall of 2011, CBS held Undercover Boss off the schedule, opening up an hour, which allowed them to cancel just two dramas in the 2010-11 season. But unless CBS does the same next fall with Survivor or Amazing Race, or replaces an hour of sitcoms with a drama (all of which would be a much bigger surprise), that's not going to happen this season.
Note: if mid-season drama Golden Boy is renewed for another season, three of the above dramas will have to be canceled.
Yes, we'll rehash this same topic so many times in these weekly posts as to grind it into atomic sized dust. There's not much else to talk about with CBS shows this season, or any other. Buckle up!
Why aren't Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods on that list? Both dramas are in their third seasons and need a fourth to reach the "magic" 88 episodes for stripped syndication. Both are "certain to be renewed" for their fourth seasons next year.
Since CBS typically cancels its lowest rated sitcom each season, rookie sitcom Partners doesn't have much of a life expectancy either, it's almost certain to be replaced, likely by Rules Of Engagement, at some point this season.
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. This season you can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
*shows no longer on the air have their Renew/Cancel Index "frozen" at the point they left the schedule.
- - certain to be cancelled by May, 2013
- :cry:- more likely to be cancelled than renewed by May, 2013
- - toss up between renewal or cancellation by May, 2013
- - more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2013
- - certain to be renewed by May, 2013
The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.

Supreme Court Hears Arguments On California's Prop 8 And Defense Of Marriage Act
Same-sex marriage supporters demonstrate in front of the Supreme... News PhotoCourthouse,Horizontal,International Landmark,Law,Legal System,Marriage Equality,Supreme Court,US Supreme Court Building,USA,Washington DCPhotographer JEWEL SAMADCollection: AFP 2013 AFPSame-sex marriage supporters demonstrate in front of the Supreme Court on March 27, 2013 in Washington, DC. The rights of married same-sex couples will come under scrutiny at the US Supreme Court on Wednesday in the second of two landmark cases being considered by the top judicial panel. After the nine justices mulled arguments on a California law that outlawed gay marriage on Tuesday, they will take up a challenge to the legality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The 1996 law prevents couples who have tied the knot in nine states -- where same-sex marriage is legal -- from enjoying the same federal rights as heterosexual couples.

Comments about Salewa Mountain Trainer GTX Shoe (Men's):
Well these are only two days old and I'm only able to comment on the supberb fit. I have enjoyed the high top boot so that when I learned it was available in a hiking shoe I had to try them on. Lacing on both is excellent. They feel like a custome made pair of sox on my feet. Footbed, heel, arch and instep are perfect.
I could wear them daily. The sales person tried to lead me to a different shoe since he said these were just more of what I had in the high tops. I disagree. The sole seems sticker and the comfort/relaxed ankle are just comfortable in a different way.. Support is the best, and as said, they feel custom tailored for my foot.

Colorado Springs: Mobile Programs
Dallas Theological Seminary has been in contact with many organizations in the greater Colorado Springs area, such as Young Life, Navigators, and Focus on the Family. Read more. DTS enjoys a long-standing relationship with these ministries, and has been encouraged to start a Mobile MA in Christian Leadership cohort in Colorado Springs. The unique educational model of the mobile program, coupled with our emphasis on taking you through all 66 books of the Bible, generated significant interest from these groups and many others. While not an extension site, the fully accredited program offers courses that will be taught by regular DTS professors on-site in Colorado Springs, on-line via the Web, and on-campus in Dallas for select intensive offerings.
Three programs to choose from
This fall DTS will be offering three mobile programs: MACL, MACS, and CGS.
- Master of Arts in Christian Leadership
- The MACL enables you to stay in your current ministry while DTS partners with local church and parachurch ministries to offer a seminary degree. DTS tailored the program to help you better love and serve your people. You'll learn alongside other like-minded leaders working for the good of your community and city.
- Master of Arts (Christian Studies)
- The MACS provides a strong foundation for Christians living out their faith in any setting. It is designed primarily for lay leaders who desire training so as to better serve within their church or parachurch organization.
- Certificate of Graduate Studies
- The CGS provides Christian laypersons who desire a short program of seminary studies to equip them for effective ministry in the local church or missionary candidates who anticipate service in nonprofessional ministries whose mission board requires graduate study in Bible and theology.
There are three types of courses offered in the Mobile MACL, MACS, and CGS—courses in your city, in Dallas, and online. We have specifically designed the course rotation so that every other semester either we send a professor to you to teach a live course, or you come to Dallas for specially designed courses for Mobile MACL, MACS, and CGS students.
|Year 1
|DTS sends professors to you for Bible (BE) and theology (ST), and you begin online courses.
|Year 2
|CE105 BE105SF Intro
|A one-week trip to Dallas in the fall and another in the summer for courses and fellowship.

Is Marshawn Lynch Unstoppable?
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
So far, many teams have talked about the necessity to stop Marshawn Lynch, but few have been able to deliver. With the Jets heading to Seattle this weekend, there's real concern about just how much this Jets defense can contain a runner of his caliber.
Early in the season the Jets let up scads of yards to both CJ Spiller and Arian Foster, but were successful in holding Frank Gore to just 64 yards. So which group for the Jets will show up Sunday? Sione Po'uha has been dealing with a back injury all season and the rest of the line has suffered for it. Also, Bart Scott's decline in play has made his replacement by the Jets in favor of raw rookie Demario Davis an expected shift.
What makes Lynch such a tough tackle is his size of power along with an uncanny elusiveness, even if he doesn't have blockers on a play he's routinely able to break or elude tackles.
There have been a lot better teams at stopping the run than the Jets that Lynch has already faced this season and played commendably against. The Niners, Patriots and Vikings most notably and even so, Lynch has piled up the yards in a bid for the rushing title with five games with over 100 yards and only one game in which he was held for under 50 yards. That game came against the Patriots.
So how does a team stop Marshawn Lynch? Here's what one of the best defensive tackles and linebackers in the league each had to say about Lynch.
First up, Vince Wilfork of the Patriots, who was familiar with him from his years in Buffalo:
"He breaks a lot of tackles. And he's been running hard, ever since he was at Buffalo," Wilfork said of Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch.
"He's just a tough, tough back," Wilfork said of the former Buffalo Bill, now in his third season with the Seahawks. "He's a strong, physical runner and he's quick and shifty. He's well put together. You talk about backs, an elite back, I don't think he gets enough credit.
"He can go anywhere," he added. "Sometimes, he doesn't even need blocks. He can go out there and take on the defense by himself."
Next, a current divisional rival, Patrick Willis:
"He runs the ball hard, a very elusive guy," Willis said Tuesday. "He's a very hard tackle. We're going to have to have everybody swarming to the ball and not expecting one guy to make the play. He's by far one of the best running backs in the league and will be one of the best backs we face all year long. We've got to face him twice."
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comUp front, the Jets are going to have to do their best to win at the line of scrimmage, something that hasn't come easily for the Jets this year. Behind the line, the linebackers are going to need to attack those gaps on running plays and swam the ball as Willis suggests. The Jets have had trouble with both of those two key elements to run defense so far this year, something they've done so well in years past.

Hi,I have seen Six Moon Designs cuben tent is now available.I have made up my mind to buy the Hexamid Solo Plus but now I hesitate with the SMD!So, for the SMD Skyscape x users, what are all the dimensions of the floor?They only give the wider dimensions, 48"(floor) and 76"(canopy) but not the shorter ones!Because of the difference of prices, it is important to compare the two tents precisely.If you have other comments it is welcome!Thank youMyrtille
122cm x 262cm
Thank youbut I have this document andthe width at the foot is not mentioned but Ron mailed it to me, it is 36"
I'm not sure if SMD changed anything with the newest version of the X, but I just measured the foot end of mine, and accounting for a slight drop of the "bathtub" it's just under 30" on the inside. I liked the design of the X and what I felt was easier entry/exit; more storm worthiness; and less effort to pitch (less stakes), but I think either is a great choice. In this price range why not consider the Soloplex too?
If the issue here is "Skyscape X vs Hexamid"... the question you need to ask yourself is:Do I want an easier to setup shelter and a lighter weight shelter? If so the Hexamid is the answer.Do I want a shelter with greater weather protection? If so the Skyscape X is the answer.I have a few thousand miles with both of these shelters... those two questions really do sum up the real answer on which too chose.+John AbelaHikeLighter.Comfacebook.com/hikelighter@hikelighter
First thank you for your answers, it is really useful to read different opinions and American points of viewTo Art,so I do not know if Ron has changed something in the width, anyway 30" at the foot will still fitas for the Solplex, that is an interesting tent but the width is only 30" head to foot that is not enough and I am afraid the door could flap because there is no zipperTo John,I am sure you know these tents very well, but I would say the Skyscape is easier to set up because there are only 5 pegs, there are 10 for the Hexamid solo plus (in a rocky ground it could be a hard job!)the skyscape X is lighter .15 + 5 pegs versus .16 + 10 pegsNo?the problem with cuben shelter is that it is so expensive that you are afraid of buying the wrong one!read you soon!
If you review my Solo SUL/XUL Fully Enclosed Shelter Comparison spreadsheet you will see that the Heximid (including the solo, solo-plus, and solplex) have a lighter TSW than the Skyscape X.As for the SMDSX being easier to setup because it has less stakes... well yeah, it does have less stakes, but, it also an an internal apex spreader bar that requires WAAAAAY more effort to setup than the single pole of the hexamid shelters - which is unquestionably the easiest fully enclosed solo shelter that exists in regards to setting up.In the end, ease of setup plays (or should play) very little part in the decision making process of either of these shelters. I still refer back to my post about on what should be the deciding factors.
I must say the hexamid solo is stupid easy to setup, the one pole design, and the non stretch cuben material make it go up quick.
I agree with John on all points and I've only set up the "X" one time. I had the Hexamid last summer, was hoping for something with a smaller footprint, but have not arrived there yet. I can see the spreader bar is going to be the slow point in set up for the "X". In buying the "X", I went off mostly John's reveiw of it.Duane
I would just like to add that it is rare that I use all 10 stakes when setting up my Hexamid Solo plus. I really only use 6. And as others mentioned, it is very easy to set up.
I have a hexamid but went for the tarp option with separate hexanet inner (which was available for the standard hexamid at the time I bought it and I get along fine with it).The reaon for this for me was I wanted the capacity to separate the equivalent of fly-sheet and inner. I want to do this for times when the shelter is very wet and especially where it is wet externally from rain, but also internally in times of heavy condensation which, whilst it can often be managed, will be inevitable on occasion with this type of shelter.What is the impact with the Skyscape X (or the regular net floor hexamid) from not being able to separate inner and out when wet externally from rain and internally from condensation?What strategies do users have to manage this and minimise impacts of getting the inner and groundsheet wet when packing away? and so the inner is all dry and not still wet when set up the next night (especially if rain is continuous)?
Edited by StokeyJim on 11/22/2013 08:25:59 MST.
I own a Hexamid long which is a fast and easy pitch. For me I am more focused on weather protection than set up speed. The difference in time is not an issue. Have looked at the Skyscape x for a while but have hesitated wondering if there is enough head room for a 6 footer without the mesh encroaching too much.
which is unquestionably the easiest fully enclosed solo shelter that exists in regards to setting upI still haven't seen anyone setting up another shelter in 50 sec as I have done with the Moment and Contrail.No doubt that shelter is easy to do but I question the unquestionably...
well...to refer to John's deciding factors, I will say I want a shelter with greater weather protection, the Hexamid does not go close to the ground and even with the beak it must be windy inside
Good point Franco.Duane
Definitely breezy in the Hexamid which is fine unless it's really cold. I just used it on the A.T. last weekend. The cold one night - mid 20's and 25mph winds - was more of an issue than the rain for the next 2 nights. I stayed completely dry. It is a great set up but I think I will look for something else I can use for more cold/wind protection in the late fall/winter.
Respectfully, ask yourself why you carry a shelter in the first place? From what do you want shelter?from bugs?from weather?from observation by others?from the world in general?Personally, I prefer to sleep out under the sky whenever possible. My shelter is purely for weather protection. Which shelter and how robust it has to be depend on where I'm going and what weather extremes I can reasonably expect to encounter. I am willing to take whatever time is required to properly place and erect that shelter.My sleeping bag and head net or insect repellant keep most of the bugs off of me. The microfiber shell on my sleeping bag and/or my wind shirt keeps the wind and anything it carries away. No tent is a fort; four legged critters can easily rip through any shelter I could reasonably carry, and I'm not doing anything that I need to keep hidden from others nearby. If it offends you, look somewhere else!YMMV
