Tech Swimmer Andrew Chetcuti Headed To FINA World Championships
The meet runs Dec. 12-16 in Istanbul, Turkey
Dec. 12, 2012
THE FLATS - Georgia Tech sophomore swimmer Andrew Chetcuti, who this past summer swam in the Olympics, will once again represent his home country of Malta on the national stage at the 11th FINA World Swimming Championships in Istanbul, Turkey.
The FINA World Championships runs Dec. 12-16 and is a short course meet, being held at the Sinan Erdem Arena in Turkey's largest city.
Chetcuti is scheduled to swim the 50m free on Dec. 13, the 100m free on Dec. 15 and the 200m free on Dec. 12.
This past summer in London, Chetcuti posted a time of 51.67 in the quarterfinals of the 100m free, which placed him 39th overall in the field of 56 swimmers. He was third in his heat, but did not advance to the semifinals.
The Tech sophomore holds Malta's national records in both the 50m and 100m free.

If nobody objects, I thought I'd have a crack at putting together a draft for this. I've been meaning to learn the xml2rfc stuff anyway. I notice you're just mentioning Camellia with a 256-bit key, which leaves out the 128 or 192-bit keys. I don't disagree, but I'm curious if that was intentional. 128 is okay, but 192-bit keys in OpenPGP strike me a bit as "neither here nor there" (I argued to keep AES-192, but that had already been deployed in the field).

Improving SAT Test PerformancePosted by: admin in Faculty, Reference, testing
For high schools, key indicators of student achievement are the Scholastic Aptitute Test (SAT) results with the most commonly cited measure being the average (or mean.)
How are students doing at Deep Run?
The DRHS SAT average for the seven years of testing juniors and seniors 2004/05 – 2010/11 is 1092.
The DRHS math is 547 and Critical Reading mean is 545.
For the last several years, the math average has been higher than critical reading (a k a English) mirroring state and national data.
The graph below shows the results by school year.
Fortunately we are in an upward trend yet we would love DR students to do even better. Cohorts Freeman and Godwin have higher achievement!
Considering SAT performance:
It is unlikley that re-testing alone will significantly increase a student's SAT score. (Juniors taking the test again as seniors average only a 40 point gain.)
- Increasing familiarity with the actual test and focusing on improving the skills tested can result in improved performances. That's good news!
- Many students find the writing portion easier than the reading portion. And that is good because the writing portion DOES matter — colleges receive those scores!
- Research suggests students can improve their math scores more readily than they can improve their Critical Reading (English) scores.
Practicing for the test improves test results and reduces student anxiety.
SAT Strategies Specifically for Test Takers:
Difficult questions count the same as easy questions so a recommended strategy is to answer the easy questions first! Generally speaking the easiest questions are at the beginning of each section.
It is better to answer every easy question than it is to answer all questions (as points are deducted for wrong answers.)
- Regarding guessing, if you are totally stumped, don't guess! However if you can eliminate two of the answer options, go ahead and guess!
- Numerous standardized test taking strategies apply to the SAT. You can find many strategies described here.
In the actual test, be sure to keep track of your time and bubble your test carefully!
Most colleges combine the best SAT scores to get a composite for each student.
All DRHS 11th graders have free access to the SATOnline course — those students are typically enrolled in the course through their English 11 classes.
A wealth of information on the SAT can be found in School Space > 2013 and 2014 Community Groups > PSAT, SAT and SATOnline folder.
Questions? Contact Mr. G. Metcalf at DRHS.

We spent most of Monday reviewing every song on the proper tracklist of Rihanna's Talk That Talk (out Tuesday), but there was still something missing—the bonus tracks, three cuts available only on the LP's deluxe edition. But, the internet being the bountiful Earth Mother that she is, even those three songs have been coughed up for general consumption. Stick around for a minute as we chop each of 'em up for your reading pleasure and general edification.
Bonus Track #1: "Red Lipstick"
Sounds Like: At first, oddly enough, Metallica's "Wherever I May Roam"—the squiggly synth riff that introduces the song is exceedingly reminiscent of the sitar riff that begins the metal classic. It's not a totally inappropriate musical reference—the entire song is very grimy and lurching, the kind of sound you expected from Rihanna when you first heard about Talk That Talk's supposedly shockingly filthy and erotic content. Fat bass, wobbling synths, menacing strings, and Rihanna at her most seductively cold and commanding, promising (threatening?) to "do you right here while the whole world watching."
Pros: Just about everything, really. We expected Talk That Talk to be bursting at the seams with songs like this, and while there are certainly a couple, there are few that pack quite the thrills that "Red Lipstick" does. Co producers The-Dream and Chase & Status get most of the credit for the awesome Metallica interpolation (and yes, it is intentional—James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich are even credited as writers on the song) and the thick, sinister groove they give Rihanna to play with, but Ri deserves her due as well, switching fluidly between her sex kitten, dispassionate seen-it-all and BDSM dominatrix personas throughout, sometimes in the same verse.
Cons: There's not all that much of a chorus, and Rihanna uses the word "cray" at one point. (Suppose we should probably get used to the latter.)
Hard "R" Lyric: "Let me grab my tit while you sit on top." (TBH, it doesn't sound to us like she's saying "tit"…but the word we hear doesn't make much anatomical sense, so we'll give the lyric sites the benefit of the doubt for now.)
Single-Worthy?: Absolutely. How it didn't even make the album proper is one of 2011′s biggest pop mysteries.

While the college football players' regular season was over long ago, their job interviews have just begun. After struggling at the NFL combine a couple of weeks ago former Longhorn Dezmon Briscoe had an impressive showing at the University of Kansas pro day on Wednesday. In front of 12 NFL representatives and scouts Briscoe ran times of 4.53 and 4.51 in the forty yard dash confirming his speed. His explosiveness was shown with a 10-4 broad jump and a 34' vertical leap. Quickness and cutting ability play a crucial role in a receivers success as those attributes are needed to gain separation while running routes. The drills that measure those attributes are the short shuttle in which Briscoe recorded a time of while lateral quickness was measured with a 4.10 seconds and a three cone drill time of 7.20.
Obviously a resume isn't all about a workout done with no pads, defenders, or helmets so its imperative to review game film and on field production. Briscoe is second to none in those categories as he's garnered All American recognition each season of his collegiate career. As a freshman he recorded 43 receptions with 496 yards and seven touchdowns starting the final 11 games of the season helping the Jayhawks earn an Orange Bowl victory. As a sophomore he garnered 92 receptions with 1,407 yards and 15 scores earning an All – America honorable mention by Sports Illustrated. The production didn't stop there though as Briscoe enjoyed personal success in a tough junior season for the Kansas football team. While the Jayhawk offense was up and down Briscoe was steady with 84 receptions for 1,337 and 9 scores.
Most experts expect Briscoe to be drafted between rounds 2 – 4 of the NFL draft which will be held on April 22 – 24. After three grade A statistical seasons on the field Briscoe passed the test Wednesday in front of scouts. With a over a month between an interview and a decision on your next employer angst can set in so this is obviously a critical time. College may be the history but final grades have yet to come in so stay tuned.

Apparently it does not fit when watching the beauty of Tanah Lot tourist attraction without being accompanied by the partner. Strolling hand in hand along the rocky beach exuding an aura really makes happy. But unfortunately, there are myths and taboos believed by Balinese people where it is not allowed to come in with a lover (boyfriend) to the place of worship. Even though the origin of the myth is not clear, local community truly believe in the abstinence. If the abstinence is violated, then the relationship of the pair of lovers is believed not to last long. The relationship will be getting looser and ultimately breaks up. "The myth does not apply to visitors who have got married," said I Ketut Toya Adnyana, coordinator of the temple.
Toya claimed such a myth was still believed by Balinese people. However, lately it was rarely known to tourists who made a visit with a girlfriend or friend. Similarly, it was unknown whether the myth was valid for them. "Visitors rarely care about it whether they go with girlfriend or not. Obviously, no one knows whether they finally break up or not," said Toya.
Pregnant or menstruating women are also forbidden to go up and get into the temple area in the middle of the sea. They are considered spiritually and temporarily impure so they are prohibited to conduct religious rituals. Tanah Lot temple also has holy water spring, precisely beneath the temple. Such a holy water is believed to bring in luck to those who has drunk it. Meanwhile, across the Tanah Lot temple sits a cave becoming the habitat of sea snake that is made sacred. Visitors can see or hold the snake. Balinese people believe, the sacred snake often moves to Tanah Lot Temple at night to keep the sanctity of the temple.
According to this Operations Manager of Tanah Lot tourist attraction, strange incidents frequently occurred in the area of Tanah Lot Temple. When the piodalan or temple anniversary took place, a foreign tourist photographed the temple and in fact there was a sighting. On the picture the tourist saw a beautiful woman next to the object. Another happening was a visitor seeing the other temple on the high seas. Then, there was also a visitor who did not want to go home. After sprinkled with holy water by local temple priest, it was finally willing to go home.
Tanah Lot is the most favorite tourist attraction at this time. The Tanah Lot Temple nestled in the middle of the ocean is part of dang kahyangan temple functioned as the worshipping place of the gods guarding the sea. This temple was built by a Brahmana who wandered from Java named Danghyang Nirartha. He successfully reinforced the belief of the Balinese related to Hinduism and built the temple in the sixteenth century.
At that time the, the ruler of Tanah Lot, Bendesa Beraben, was jealous of him because his followers began to leave and follow Danghyang Nirartha. Bendesa Beraben urged Danghyang Nirartha to leave Tanah Lot. The latter agreed and before leaving Tanah Lot, with his supernatural power he moved a boulder to the middle of the beach and established a temple there. He also transformed his shawl into a snake becoming the temple guards. (BTN/015)

What Have We Learned, If Anything? by Tony Judt | The New York Review of Books
War, in short, prompted behavior that would have been unthinkable as well as dysfunctional in peacetime. It is war, not racism or ethnic antagonism or religious fervor, that leads to atrocity. War—total war—has been the crucial antecedent condition for mass criminality in the modern era.
Gordon Parks's Alternative Civil Rights Photographs – NYTimes.com
More than anything, the "Segregation Series" challenged the abiding myth of racism: that the races are innately unequal, a delusion that allows one group to declare its superiority over another by capriciously ascribing to it negative traits, abnormalities or pathologies. It is the very fullness, even ordinariness, of the lives of the Thornton family that most effectively contests these notions of difference, which had flourished in a popular culture that offered no more than an incomplete or distorted view of African-American life.
Why Penn State Deserves a Football "Death Penalty" : The New Yorker
A space alien, reading their e-mails, might conclude that "humane" meant cowardly, or callous, or conveniently craven, or sympathetic only to those in one's own social or professional circle.

We biked to the convenience store with loonies in the pockets of our cutoffs, and on the way back (with suckers in our mouths), we decided that summer was a really good thing.
Why Being Nice Means Nothing – Edward Champion

Traynor's Eye: Meeting A Troll…

"There was a window," I say. I don't quite know how to tell him what I mean by that answer. "Just having that light come in, seeing the light move across the cell, seeing what time of day it was—" Without those windows, I wouldn't have had the sound of ravens, the rare breezes, or the drops of rain that I let wash over my face some nights. My world would have been utterly restricted to my concrete box, to watching the miniature ocean waves I made by sloshing water back and forth in a bottle; to marveling at ants; to calculating the mean, median, and mode of the tick marks on the wall; to talking to myself without realizing it.

We need to work with school chaplain not against them
For the sake of LGBTI young people, school chaplains need professional development and clear guidelines about LGBTI issues.
To achieve this we need to work with chaplains, not against them.
That's been my firm position for a while now and It's bearing fruit.
The Scripture Union of Tasmania is encouraging chaplains to attend LGBTI workshops.
SU recently stood down a Hobart chaplain for breaching guidelines after he declared online that same-sex attraction can be changed.
As far as I know this is the first time this has happened in Australia. Hopefully, the message is strong enough to ensure it will be the last.
But I have paid a price for my stance.
People I admire have attacked me for "letting down the side", "going soft" and being an "appeaser" in an us-or-them war against all the "liars" and "haters" who "masquerade" as "do-good chaplains".
The low point came last week when a young gay man physically threatened me for "selling out".
When did it become acceptable for LGBTI people to stereotype, hate and bully in exactly the way we have been stereotyped, hated and bullied for so long?
When did we lose our faith in all those forces for good - pluralism, education, respect for those who disagree, the bonds of our shared humanity - that move society forward?
Is the cost of our growing social acceptance that we abandon the values that got us here, and become what we once despised?
Will we behave like too many minorities before us, kicking others off the social ladder as we ascend it?
I say an emphatic "no".
With our hard won rights and freedoms comes a responsibility to engage constructively with the society of which we are increasingly a part.
As with an individual's coming out, the emancipation of an entire social group demands patience and tolerance from the emancipated as much as from others.
This is why I will continue to walk with those who are conflicted, not jeer them.
And it is why I will continue to do what I am doing even if I am jeered too.

MACON, Ga. -- Sasha Sims scored 15 points, and Victoria McGowan and Cherisse Burris each added 14 to help Stetson rally for an NCAA tournament berth with a 70-64 victory over Florida Gulf Coast on Saturday in the Atlantic Sun tournament championship game.

the windows XP 32-bit on my laptop recently died and I want to install linux now. The problem is the laptop has no cd or floppy drive anymore and is not able to boot from USB. I borrowed a "bridge" from a friend, which allows me to connect the hard drive to the USB-port of my other laptop(win 7 64bit) which then recognizes it as a hard drive.
How can I get a bootable OS on this hard drive? I have tried installing it the usual way and just select the other hard drive, but my other laptop won't open the 32bit installer. But I need a 32bit OS for my old laptop

The largest publicly traded company headquartered in the Lehigh Valley, Taminco Corp., which is based in Fogelsville, announced a joint venture with a New York company to produce a component essential in "fracking".
Fracking is the controversial method of drilling for natural gas and oil; hydraulic fluid is used to pressurize and fracture the rock formation, releasing the natural gas trapped beneath it into well built to capture it. This is one of the preferred methods of accessing the natural gas in Pennsylvania's shale rock formation.
Taminco in combination with Balchem, a chemical manufacturer located in New Hampden, NY, will jointly produce choline chloride (KCL)--a clay stabilizer. Both company have facilities in Louisiana, which is where the KCL product will be composed.
Clay stabilizer, when mixed with hydraulic fluid, prevents swelling and migration. This helps with cement formation and bonding in the well wall. In other word, the cement well is stronger and less prone to leaks.
Well leakage is one of the many environmental concerns when it comes to fracking and one big reason why some wanted it banned, entirely.

While there is, of course, something to be said about simple basic furniture as a base for other accent pieces, we love it when our furniture is an accent piece. The Florence Credenza ($2600) is available in a variety of finishes, but the best part is the fabric paneling on each door.

District Judge Russell Fagg sentenced Thomas Joseph Godwin on Tuesday to prison and to serve concurrent terms for the felony assault on a woman and aggravated animal cruelty in the stabbing of a kitten reported the billingsgazette.com.
Godwin, 24, pleaded guilty in December to aggravated assault with a weapon and animal cruelty. He was sentenced to 15 years, with a ten year suspension, for the assault against the woman when he strangled her until she passed out and then hit her in the head with a rock.
He was also sentenced to a two year prison term with one year suspended for grabbing the woman's four-month-old kitten named Jasmine according to kbzk.com. Godwin stated he was trying to administer medication when the kitten bit him. Godwin admitted to throwing the kitten against a wall and stomping on her, but denied stabbing the animal with a scissors.
The kitten needed surgery to save her life.
Godwin will also need to pay restitution of $1,099 and submit to psychological counseling. He told the judge he would like to change.

College Hockey:2006-07 Merrimack Season Preview
It was a trying debut behind the bench for first-year coach Mark Dennehy, as the Warriors suffered through a ten-game losing streak in December and January, ultimately going 2-16-3 in their last 21 games of the season after a promising 3-3 start.
That said, Dennehy realizes that neither Rome nor North Andover were built in a day.
"When I came last year, I knew and the players knew that we had a lot of hard work ahead of us," Dennehy said. "I've got on my desk Shawn Walsh's record his first two years at Maine. He was a cumulative 23-59-3. He wasn't any less of a coach the first two years than in the third year when they went .500, or when they won Hockey East. What it takes is a concerted effort on the recruiting front to bring in good players and holding the players to a certain set of standards.
"I'm happy to say that the guys we have returning have met those standards. When you talk about a guy like Ryan Sullivan who has a chance this year to be a three-time Hockey East Scholar-Athlete of the year — which is unprecedented — and add to that the fact that he's logging 35 minutes per game for us, those are things to be excited about. We've got a fresh outlook with ten freshmen and a transfer who will eligible this year. So right now there's only one way to look at it: Right now we're tied for first place, and we're also tied for last place. We're looking forward to the season; it's the best time of the year."
Playing in the most competitive college hockey league in the country, Dennehy is clearly tantalized by the slim margin that separates a win from a loss in Hockey East action. "Last year in 34 games, we went into 23 third periods either up a goal, down a goal, or tied," Dennehy said. "Those were 23 times that we gave ourselves the opportunity to win. Those are what we need to do on a more consistent basis. Hopefully we're a little deeper this year with ten freshmen coming in; hopefully some of the guys coming back will have better years."
The most promising sign for the Warriors is the return of sophomore Patrick Watson and senior Jim Healey between the pipes. Watson's 2.71 goals against average in league play, along with his .920 save percentage, are indicators that Merrimack should be able to stay close against ostensibly stronger, deeper opposition. "I know one thing for sure — we've got outstanding goaltending, which can really be a difference-maker overall," Dennehy said.
Rob Ricci (10-16-26) leads the returning forwards. Obviously, though, other returnees and newcomers will need to chip in much more if the Warriors are to avoid another last-place finish.
"Of the guys coming back, Matty Byrnes is a guy who gets a lot of chances," Dennehy said. "He's got incredible speed. I think, as a matter of fact, in one of our games against Maine last year he had three breakaways. But he's also the kind of guy who needs to throw a lot of spaghetti against the wall to get some stick. So I think he's going to get a lot of scoring chances and put some more in this year.
"Mike Alexiou was one of our leading scorers his first two years. I expect him to score more than two goals this year."
With a huge cast of characters coming into the mix as recruits, Dennehy cited a few who should play critical roles from day one.
"A guy that might be productive for us from the get-go is Mike Vaskivu, who scored a lot of goals at the prep school level," Dennehy said. "He's one of those guys that everyone talks about the five-hole: To me the five-hole is like Sasquatch. I've never seen it. He's one of those guys who knows where it is.
"A guy like Pat Bowen, who played for the New Hampshire Monarchs last year … We tried to bring in guys from successful programs."
Dennehy and his staff are hoping that it will help to bring in players who are used to success and who will not settle for less. The goal is to make the playoffs — not as modest an objective as it may sound given how deep the league is these days.
If all of the planets align, Merrimack could finish as high as seventh or eighth, depending on how quickly some very young teams in Northeastern, Massachusetts, and Massachusetts-Lowell develop.

People are still trying to get into this country. Some are traveling a very long ways and enduring significant hardship to get here. For all of the complaining we do about how bad things are, people are making some incredible journeys to get to the United States.
The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave is still a beacon of hope to the world.
So how do we contend with those who want to come into this country to work and experience the American Dream while keeping the terrorists out?
There's the question of the last three decades. Our answers as a nation have been impotent at best.
Here is my immigration reform program: Prisoner exchange.
For every person who wants to come into this country to work and better himself or herself we will send one American to their country of origin.
Where will we get the list of the people from America to be exchanged?
Not to worry, I have already started one. Every week I meet with people who tell me how terrible life is here. Nobody will pay their bills for them. Their government check isn't enough. I insult them when I tell them that they can get a job.
Yes, I already have a running list of people who don't seem to like it here. I will gladly exchange them for people who think that living in this nation is a blessing.
Citizenship papers can be exchanged at the border. All aboard! I am taking a load of disgruntled Americans south.

How Much Does Broken Wrist Surgery Cost?
A broken wrist can refer to a break or fracture of any of the many bones in the wrist area. If you suffer from a broken wrist, it can be a very big hassle especially since it can greatly affect your daily work or routine. Our hands are used in almost every task throughout the day, including taking care of ourselves, doing house chores like cooking and cleaning, as well as performing other tasks like driving, writing, and dressing. No matter what you do for a living, it will be greatly inhibited if you are unable to use your hand. Having a broken wrist is bad enough, but there are times that the break is bad enough that it requires surgery. This can make the healing process take even longer, but it may be necessary in order to avoid long term effects.
How much does it cost?
- The cost for operating on a broken wrist will vary due to several circumstances such as the location, the experience and reputation of the surgeon or doctor, the procedure or treatment required, laboratory tests such as x-rays, and other factors.
- The cost of diagnosis and non-surgical treatment for a sprained or broken wrist without health insurance is around $500 or less for a mild to moderate injury. A fracture that requires a cast could cost $2,000 or higher.
- The average cost of a wrist x-ray ranges from $190 to more than $1,500. Non-surgical treatment for a common type of wrist fracture costs around $300 excluding the doctor's fee. Basically, a doctor's fee is around $90 to $250 for consultation and $250 to $1,150 for treatment.
- On the other hand, diagnosis and surgical treatment of a broken wrist without health insurance costs around $5,000 or more. The type of fracture and surgery required affects the cost. A doctor's fee for surgical treatment costs around $2,000 or more, according to the Carolina Orthopedic Surgery Associates.
- According to Surgery.com, the cost of short-incision open carpal tunnel is around $3,000 per patient. Open surgical treatment for wrist fracture costs around $1,500. Depending on the nature of the fracture, the cost could go higher or lower.
- MinnesotaMedicine.com claims that a nonsurgical treatment will be around $500 while a moderate sprain can cost $2,500 or more.
- Overall, the treatment for a wrist injury will be from $500 to $1000 for a sprain that only requires a splint or wrap, from $1000 to $3000 for a fracture or break that requires a cast, and from $2000 to $5000 for an injury that requires surgery.
What is going to be included?
- The cost of non-surgical treatment of a broken wrist includes diagnosis and doctor's fee, consultation and treatment. Surgical treatment covers the cost of the doctor's fee and the required procedure or treatment.
- For instance, something that is mild such as sprain can require an elastic bandage and ice. After a few weeks, the patient will need to go in for another evaluation.
- With a broken wrist, the bone will be realigned and a cast will be placed. This cast may have to be worn up to 14 weeks, depending on the severity of the fracture or break.
- The surgery to repair a broken wrist will usually be an out-patient procedure. It can take about 10 hours total.
- Check your insurance provider if treatment of a broken wrist (surgical or non-surgical) is included since they should be able to cover a portion of the total cost. If you do not have health insurance, consider browsing through hundreds of policies with companies such as eHealthInsurance.com.
What are the extra costs?
- Extra costs may be incurred for laboratory and medical tests required by the doctor such as a wrist x-ray and other miscellaneous expenses. Other treatments and medications may also require additional costs. These medications can be used to alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and prevent infection.
- According to Surgery.com, braces, splints, and medication are common accessories to help with the healing process, and these can cost hundreds of dollars.
- Additional costs may also be required for physical therapy, follow-up operations and/or treatments. SEE: "How much does physical therapy cost?"
- If the emergency room was used for the procedure, this could cost upwards of $2,000.
Tips to know:
- Talk to your doctor or surgeon first regarding the cost of the procedure to be performed for your broken wrist so that you will have an idea of how much money you will need.
- You can search online or ask around for affordable medical facilities where you can avail of the required treatment or procedure.
- Check your insurance policy to see if they cover surgical and non-surgical treatments for broken wrists.
How can I save money?
- If you do not have health insurance, many doctor's offices are more than willing to offer cash discounts.
- Health insurance will more than likely cover the procedure. Be sure to check with your insurance to see what costs you will have to cover. All insurance policies are going to vary with their coverage.

The big mystery of Coven, the third season of "American Horror Story," has been who will replace Fiona (Jessica Lange) as the next Supreme witch. Tension rises with the approach of tonight's episode, the season finale entitled The Seven Wonders.
Will the new Supreme be Zoe (Taissa Farmiga), bringing the plot full circle since the season opened with her arrival at the school? Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) since she's the least likely? Or maybe Nan (Jamie Brewer) will rise from the dead. Pretty much everyone else has this season. Also possible Fiona isn't dead at all, and she'll return, kill off the Coven and remain the Supreme.
Creator Ryan Murphy tweeted Monday, "This Wednesday...maybe Madonna is the new Supreme." Well, the show goes so out there that one never knows, but this certainly must be a joke -- in honor of the pop star's participation in the marriage equality segment on the Grammy Awards on Sunday. (Check out this article from The Guardian Liberty Voice for details.)
Previous to Murphy's tweet, no press indicated that pop superstar Madonna would appear on Coven, but early this month, after IMDb listed Glenn Close as part of the cast for The Seven Wonders, articles appeared (Broadway World, Enstars, and others). Since then, IMDb has removed the listing from the page of the award-winning actress. Given the other high caliber actresses featured this season - Lange, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Patti LuPone, Frances Conroy and Mare Winningham - maybe Coven has one more up its sleeve?
Close would be a welcome addition for the season finale, bringing her wicked nature from her roles as Cruella de Vil in "101 Dalmatians" and as Alex, the ultimate stalker, in "Fatal Attraction." However, fans would feel thoroughly ripped off after all this guessing about the new Supreme if the show brought in someone new to fill that role.
If not as the new Supreme, how might Close (should she appear) fit in? Well, the IMDb listing showed her character name as Ophelia. Shakespeare's Ophelia (from "Hamlet") proves one of the most intriguing and enigmatic personalities to emerge from his work, often depicted in art. Although her mother denies it, readers generally interpret her death as a suicide. Will Close appear only to kill herself?
Paulson portrays Cordelia, the name of another famed female Shakespearean character (from "King Lear"). Maybe Close's appearance will somehow relate to her. During Shakespeare's play, Cordelia's father banishes her, his youngest and, until that time, favorite child. His older, wicked daughters eventually turn on him, and then Cordelia returns, only to be executed shortly afterwards. Like Coven's Cordelia, she's unappreciated and misunderstood by her parent. Perhaps like the Shakespeare character, Cordelia will be recognized as the Supreme and then killed?
Since these final episodes include clues to the new theme for the upcoming fourth season, fans guess about that too. (Click here to read more.) Lots of speculation. What IS known (according to the currently posted IMDb credits for tonight's episode) - back tonight will be Papa Legba (Lance Reddick) and Stevie Nicks (who appeared as herself in Episode 10). The next Supreme is anyone's guess. Tune in to FX tonight at 10 Eastern to find out which witch rises to power.

Berkeley, Calif. - No. 11 Stanford improved to 8-4 (2-0, MPSF) with a 12-7 win over archrival California. Lauren Schmidt led the Cardinal with three goals, while Claire Hubbard had four assists to surpass the all-time assist record at Stanford.
After Cal took an early 1-0 lead, Stanford scored a pair of goals and would not trail again. Leslie Foard opened the scoring for Stanford on a free position goal. Sarah Flynn then added a goal on the first assist from Hubbard.
Hubbard's second assist was to Dana Lindsay to give Stanford a 4-2 lead. That assist tied Kelsey Twist with 70 for the all-time lead at Stanford.
The Cardinal entered halftime leading 6-4. Schmidt scored two of her three goals and added an assist in the half. Stanford outshot Cal, 19-11 in the half. Annie Read made six of her 14 saves in the half to keep Stanford out front.
Stanford opened the second half with three straight goals to push the lead to a comfortable five goals. Schmidt added her third goal for the hat trick, while Julie Christy got on the board and Foard scored her second goal of the game.
Hubbard scored a goal of her own before assisting Christy at the 7:46 mark for the record-breaking pass. Hubbard's 24th assist of the season was the 71st of her career, a new Stanford record.
Just for good measure, Hubbard added a fourth assist with 16 seconds remaining in the game on a goal from Carolyn Bradley. The goal made the score 12-7 and Stanford had its eighth victory of the year.
Stanford improved to 2-0 in conference with the win. The Cardinal will continue with the conference season this next Sunday with a game at Denver. The Pioneers are also undefeated in conference in a matchup that could decide the regular season MPSF title.

You finally figure out why he really gives you the creeps.
No, it isn't because of his height. Nothing about his outer physical appearance, really.
Nor is it his immense power.
Or the memories of your childhood and the fears he rekindles.
No…it's because, even though you know he's standing right behind you, he gives off no presence, like most living things do.
Absolute nothingness.
It's as if you're standing with your back to a giant void.
It sends that sixth-sense chill down your spine.
And that scares you.
Nevertheless, you don't try to fight or break away. You need to hear what he has to say, to listen closely to what needs to be done to help Jack.
"What do I have to do?" you ask, trying to steady your shaking voice.
"It's quite simple, really," he says. You can practically hear the smile on his face. He's winning, and he knows it. "Give him to me, and I'll fix him right up. You can't tag along though. That's the price."
"But…what will you do to him?"
His hand lifts off of your shoulder. He glides out in front of you, his hands clasped behind his back. "Must I explain everything? Fine then." He turns to face you.
"Don't you see? Your love for him…ah, wait, no, that's wrong. His love for you is affecting him negatively. No, he's not becoming 'mortal,' as you'd say. It's far worse than that."
You raise your eyebrow questioningly.
"You see," Pitch continues, waving his hand around, "Jack is…disappearing, you could say. He's just a little spirit, after all. And spirits aren't supposed to fall in love. Don't ask me why or who made that rule up but I'd have to guess it was our dear old lunar friend that established it."
You glance up to the morning moon, which seems to glare at Pitch as if he just told one of its major secrets.
"In any way, if things continue on, Jack will lose his current state. His powers," he waves the staff around a bit, "and all things associated with that, his ability to be seen by others (even though even now not many can see him, so it's more like he'll lose the chance of being seen), his cognitive functions, et cetera et cetera et cetera. In other words, he'll just become a mindless ghost, forced to wander the face of the earth without a purpose, going forever unseen, unable to…rest in peace." He holds the staff in both of his hands, admiring it. "And what a waste that would be."
"There's one way to save him," he goes on, eyes meeting yours once again. "One cure. To prevent him from becoming like that."
You wish he'd just spit it out. "And what is it? Please, tell me. I'll do anything to save him."
He chuckles. "Oh, you're going to love this." He leans down so his face is level with yours.
"Tell me, would you rather have him be roaming aimlessly for eternity but forever yours somewhere in his heart, or have him stay how he is, immortal but forgetting you entirely?"
A shot of pain runs through your heart. You know the answer. It still hurts like no tomorrow, though.
Jack Frost is going to have to forget you.
All of the memories the two of you shared. The outings, the laughter, the kisses. All things, good and bad. His love for you. Everything.
Every last precious memory.
It completely breaks your heart. On a much deeper level than if he had just left you. It's as if someone took your heart, played with it, stabbed it multiples times, broke it into a million pieces, scattered those pieces on the floor and danced on them. And you were able to feel it all.
You fight back tears, knowing that it's for the best. For the sake of Jack.
"And…how will you do that? Make him forget," you manage to say, not wanting to show Pitch any signs of weakness.
"It's easy," he responds, straightening and shrugging. "Like forgetting a bad dream…or a good one. Only I can help you. The Guardians will just let him vanish, but I won't. So, what do you say?" He holds out his hand as if shaking on a deal.
"And…I take it that I have to stay away? To make sure he doesn't remember or fall for me again?"
He nods. "There you go. Finally getting it."
You look down at the grey hand. So cold and uninviting. But a lifeline nonetheless.
You reach out to take it.
"Heeeeeeey, (your name)!" you hear a voice call from down the hill.
You and Pitch both turn to face the voice.
You can just see the top of Jamie's head as he begins to climb up your hill.
Seeing an opportunity, you snatch the staff out of Pitch's hand, his grip loosened due to the distraction.
You still don't think you'll pass up on his offer to cure Jack, though. You just want to be hanging onto this important piece of equipment. It's the whole reason you came outside, anyway.
Jamie finally manages to make it up the hill, panting a little from the exertion. He smiles wide at you as he jogs up to the start of the porch.
"Jamie, stop right there," you command him, which he does. You glance up at Pitch, who has another evil smile on his face as he looks down upon the innocent child. "Don't come any closer."
"What? Why?" he asks, frowning a bit.
"Just don't. It's not safe."
"O…kay," he slowly says, following your glance to empty space. "I just wanted to come ask how your friend is doing. You seemed so worried last night."
You manage a smile. "He's doing a lot better. I found something for him."
"Ooooo, him, huh?" A wide smirk spreads across his face. "Is he your boyfriend?"
You blush slightly at the tease. Then you remember that Jack's memories of you and all things dealing with you have to be wiped clean, and you grow sad.
Jamie catches this and quickly changes the subject, not liking to see you be anything but happy.
"What's the stick for?" he asks, pointing at Jack's staff.
"A-ah, oh," you stutter as you look at it. "Just uh…cleaning up the porch. Just picked it up off the floor."
"Okay then," he says, not completely convinced. "Well I guess I'll go. Runt and the others are going to build snowmen!"
You laugh a little, waving goodbye. "Off with you, then! Make sure to put a magic top hat on one and march through the neighborhood with him!"
Jamie laughs and bids you farewell, running down the hill to meet up with his friends.
Then it hits you.
Sending Jack with Pitch would be giving him exactly what he wants. Jack on his side. And what would prevent him from wiping the memories of all things truly good and important in life? To completely change his set of values and morals?
He's become Pitch's little puppet, using his abilities to rid the world of all things bright and beautiful. He wouldn't be Jack anymore.
Protect the children, a familiar voice rings in your head as Jamie vanishes from sight.
Something clicks.
An image of Jack instigating a snowball fight with the kids, joining in on the fun even though he knows he can't be seen. The invisible guardian. Giving them a great time despite the implications it has for him, forgetting about his worries and just having fun.
You look at Jack's staff, smiling.
MiM means to make Jack a Guardian. To protect the children of the world.
Against Pitch.
Pitch turns back around and offers you his hand once again. You can hear the impatience in his voice. "Well?"
You shake your head, taking a step back. "Good try, though. I'm not going to give Jack to you."
He scowls, taking back his hand. "So you'd rather him become a wandering gh—"
"I won't let that happen," you interject. Your free hand finds the doorknob.
"Fine. So be it. This won't be the last time you or Jack hears of me, though."
And he shrinks back into the shadows, disappearing from sight.
You quickly go back inside, shutting and locking the door behind you.
Looking again at Jack's staff, you know you've made the right decision.
You gather your things and manage to get Jack onto your back in a piggyback. You reach into your jacket pocket, your fingers wrapping around North's magic snow globe.
You bring it up to your lips.
"North Pole," you whisper into it.
The snow inside it flurries, taking on color and form. You see a fuzzy version of the Workshop within the sphere.
And you toss it to the floor a few feet in front of you.

The first time you meet him and brought him into your house, i told how he was light as snow x3
wow awesome tht was soo close and cool.
i thought it would be the other way around, where Jack would agree to have Pitch erase the main characeter' s memories to protect her, otherwise Pitch would threaten to harm her if jack didn't join him. that's how i imagined it while i was reading the previous chapters. just a wild guess. lol im surprised at how close i actually was!!!
