Two Vignettes...
Vignette the First: Breakout, Crossover, What's the Word for it?
Maybe it's because I had been OD'ing on Greil Marcus. I'd been reading Bob Dylan, by Greil Marcus and it's simply magnificent. It's, in case you've not read it, the finely crafted simultaneity of two masters of their individual crafts. As an act of portraiture it is both Dune Messiah and Children of Dune. The Messiah figure is Bob Dylan, who ostensibly the book is about. It's the story of Bob Dylan trying to work himself free from the immense cage of his fame, the cage of being an American Prophet and the Voice of a Generation. The Children figure is Greil himself, whose own career begins to rise as Dylan meanders in his attempts towards freedom.
Bob Dylan, by Greil Marcus is the deep and meaningful opus of one master in the middle of attempting to wreck his fame (by now this fame's become a vicious trap), and another busily assembling that wreckage, crawling out from under it and rendering it in a form that will no longer trap the original author. "We work in the dark," Henry James told us, and after TS Eliot reminded us "Each in his prison cell alone…." Perhaps both were alluding to this book, where two masters never meet, but between them carve out a world.
There's really no way to walk away from Bob Dylan, by Greil Marcus the same person you walked into it. But there is maybe a way to maybe trace an outline or better, trace a line through time for Greil Marcus himself. To read where he began in 1975 with Mystery Train to parallel the moods and the shifts and the tensions in his writing over the years as you read Dylan, by Marcus. So, even before I finish the 2011 collection, I dive back into Mystery Train. But you can't really escape Mystery Train either. Because it's an essay in possibility, the idea that new things can still be built, that such a thing as rock 'n roll sociology can be invented and can enjoy a longevity.
So, I come through all this, carrying this weight of Greil's lifetime in criticism. And the weight of good friends lost to the devastation in Miyagi. And it's with all that, that I pick up a copy of Wolverine #300. It's the issue that backflips into the original numbering for the series. Through the years, through all the Wolverine titles with all their volumes and all their differing names, this is the issue that would have been number 300 had the original series continued.
I pick up a copy of Wolverine #300, the first part in a new arc, "Back in Japan", because I want my friends back and because I want our friendship to live again. I'd left this newly rebooted Wolverine almost immediately. "Wolverine Goes to Hell", the opening arc of this new volume of the series, seemed a little too intense, to mired in Christian mythic views of salvation and fall to ring true with me at the time I'd originally read it. Rick Remender's vision of Wolverine seemed far more palatable. So I stuck with Uncanny X-Force and for the moment foreswore Aaron's Wolverine.
I pick up the copy of Wolverine #300 because of Japan. But when I read into it what I read into it, that's because of Greil Marcus, because of Dylan, by Marcus and because of Mystery Train.
It's only by the very end of issue #304, Aaron's final issue writing Wolverine, that I begin to realize the inordinate impact Aaron himself has had on the character. Everyone knows Wolverine, everyone knows he's the badass from X-Men, the tough guy. Everyone knows he's bad news and that he's functionally immortal, and that he's a samurai and a stone-cold killer and that's why he gets his own book.
But that's not the thing of it at all. Why is Wolverine those things. In the early part of the last decade, Paul Jenkins wrote Origin: the Untold Story of Wolverine and showed the character to be more than 150 years old. A magnificent work to be sure, but suddenly it seemed there was no more narrative depth to be plumbed in the character. Suddenly, no more Wolverine stories. Then, Jason Aaron.
Aaron's written some 60-plus issues of the character, across some eight series. He's not done with the character be any means. Aaron still writes Wolverine in Wolverine & the X-Men, possibly one of the finest monthly titles currently available. But the focus in that book is a different one. It's Wolverine as an X-Man, living in, loving and building the world, not where he can atone for past crimes and sins, but where he can redeem those be giving them a new meaning. The Wolverine Aaron writes in Wolverine & the X-Men is about the "good" side of the "being bad for good" formulation. And the Wolverine Aaron wrote in Wolverine was about the other thing, about the "bad".
It's that last issue though, "One More Round" which sees Aaron's writing supported by a stellar cast of nine artists, that really stands as a singular work not only defining Wolverine and why he more than other X-Men get a solo book, but stands as a singular work in all of popculture.
"One More Round" is the very definition of the Wolverine's immortality. It's not, as it turns out, Wolverine's healing factor that makes him immortal. But his capacity to entangle himself in situations that will never be resolved, and to, time and again, simply withstand whatever assaults these hazards may sling. The Wolverine collects adversaries in a way that men of an earlier age hunted down greatness. And his ability to not outmaneuver these adversaries, but best them in direct combat, is the root of the Wolverine's immortality.
All this makes perfect sense if you yourself read "One More Round". Right after you read Aaron's full run on Wolverine, starting with Wolverine #175 (Wolverine volume one), through Manifest Destiny, through the sixteen issues of Wolverine: Weapon X, through the ten storyarcs that preceded "One More Round". And it makes even more sense if before "One More Round" you read Mystery Train. Particularly "Sly Stone: the Myth of Staggerlee".
Greil Marcus writes: "It is Sly's musical authority that gives his singers freedom, that builds a home where freedom seems worth acting out. The singing on the Family's records—complex, personal and unpredictable—really was something new. As opposed to the Temptations or the Jackson 5, whose records were not inspired by Sly's sound so much as they formalized it (just as earlier Motown imposed order on the risky spontaneity of gospel music), what you hear in Sly's music are a number of individuals who have banded together because that is the way they can best express themselves as individuals. It's the freedom of the street, not the church."
The emphasis is Greil's not my own. But if ever there's a single tract of writing that sums up the idea of the X-Men, it's this one. "The freedom of the street, not the church." And if that is true, then Wolverine really is Staggerlee, as much as he is Sly Stone himself. And that's why, more than any other X-Man he deserves a book of his own.
Vignette the Second: Missing Inaction
Martin Amis's Experience haunts me. Is "My Missing" the second chapter of his memoir? It is a profound chapter wherever it appears in the book. The idea that people vanished from our lives also vanish their impact. That losing friends or family to their having gone missing is not at all that different from losing a father, who is also the final intercessor between the son and Death.
In describing the emotional turbulence following in the wake of his father's death (Amis's own father also a writer, the novelist and poet Kingsley Amis), and measuring this turbulence out against still-raw memories of a missing cousin, Amis offers us an immortal work. But he does elide as keen a description of the other side of the quandary—the vanished themselves.
When I read X-Treme X-Men, this new X-Treme X-Men penned by Greg Pak, I'm haunted by exactly this. Not the actual having-gone-missing. Not the actual loss. But the phantom loss of never-having-appeared.
The story of my skirmish with X-Treme X-Men (maybe it's the story of your skirmish too), really begins with last summer's Flashpoint. It was a beautifully broken world envisioned by DC Comics' Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns. It all happened because of one single event—Barry Allen, the Flash, ran back in time and prevented the murder of his own mother at the hands of perhaps his greatest foe, Professor Zoom. And that single event broke all of history. As a result, the age of superheroes never came to be. Superman never came to be, as Kryptonian Kal El fell to Earth and was captured by the USAF's Project Superman. Batman, in a cruel twist of fate, came into being when Dr. Thomas Wayne decided to singlehandedly organize crime in Gotham after the murder of his son Bruce. Green Lantern Abin Sur never died, and therefore never ceded his ring to test pilot Hal Jordan. And Wonder Woman and Aquaman, royalty both, fought a global war that decimated half of Europe and set the tone for geopolitical landscape.
The whole of Flashpoint, including the prelude "Road to the Flashpoint" that played out in volume three of the Flash, including the core miniseries Flashpoint, including the 17 three-issue minis, and the half-dozen standalone issues, and the crossover into the pages of Booster Gold, ran some 75 issues in total. And then, suddenly it was gone.
It seemed like an unimaginable tragedy. These books grouped into these evocative titles—"Whatever Happened to the World's Greatest Villains?", "Whatever Happened to the Aliens?", "Whatever Happened to Europe?"—simply just vanished. For some months last summer there was this lovingly-crafted, fully-realized world wherein the very notion of superheroes never ignited the revolution it did in the "real" DC Universe. For those handful of months there was this inescapable tragedy, this unforgivable wreckage. And then, nothing. The world was simply undone. It was like watching an entire season of the world's most-watched TV show, only to discover it was only a dream. But then realizing that that dream-season was possibly the finest season of the show to date. Why couldn't Flashpoint simply go on?
A little earlier this year and I find myself in the same place emotionally with Astonishing X-Men. We're rounding a corner to the completion of Greg Pak's Astonishing storyarc, "Exalted". In it, Cyclops finds himself kidnapped by the Storm of a parallel Earth. Some cosmic something has caused some unimaginable threat. And the only way to prevent the destruction of this Earth, is to use mutants as batteries. But Scott fights his way free and saves this parallel Earth and he does this by reconstituting the X-Men, on a world that has never known them.
It is then that I realize that Greg Pak is my own Missing Person. The person who simply vanished before I got to know him. Like you, I read Planet Hulk, which immersed Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's strange-science-in-the-desert character into the very different high-fantasy scifi of Flash Gordon. Like you, I was moved by the beauty and the savagery of a kind of story I wasn't completely prepared for. And like you, I simply wanted more of "Exalted".
General James Howlett, Her Majesty's Viceroy on the Expedition to Shangri-La, reeks of Wolverine. And seems to be as powerful and as formidable as Wolverine. Will he as a character simply overpower Emmaline Frost of the X-Society? Will he eclipse Kurt Waggoner, who's not yet taken the identity of the Nightcrawler? These questions turn endlessly in my head, but they're not important. And neither are their answers important. The real focus here, the question at the heart of things, is this. Will the idea of the X-Men succeed? Will there be an X-Men for the multiverse? Can there be? Perhaps only Greg Pak can write this kind of book. But just as quickly, "Exalted" was wrapped, and Scott was returned to Marvel's "real world" of Earth-616, and all was well.
But there was this lingering doubt. There was this almost promissory air about things. Something that harked back to Days of Future Past, that idea that X-Men was always working out a story about the idea of the X-Men. That time and again we encounter "othered" X-Men. X-Men from an alternate future, an alternate past, from a parallel Earth. And all these "missing" X-Men ever do is bring into sharper focus the idea of a people who enjoy the "freedom of the street, not a church".
So why can't we see Greg Pak continue to write this X-Men? Why did this X-Men need to be simply disappeared?
And a handful of months later, here I stand with a copy of the first issue of X-Treme X-Men in my hands. A better inheritor of the title than a book devised solely as launching platform for legendary X-creator Chris Claremont's return to the core of the X-Men mythos. It was Chris Claremont who found himself as a weird, postmodern kind of "missing", Chris who himself vanished from Marvel only to reappear only to vanish again.
Like Chris Claremont himself, Greg Pak's X-Treme X-Men seems to be a statement about legacy, and about the power of ideas.

AbstractAlcohol consumption within elite sport has been continually reported both anecdotally within the media and quantitatively in the literature. The detrimental effects of alcohol on human physiology have been well documented, adversely influencing neural function, metabolism, cardiovascular physiology, thermoregulation and skeletal muscle myopathy. Remarkably, the downstream effects of alcohol consumption on exercise performance and recovery, has received less attention and as such is not well understood. The focus of this review is to identify the acute effects of alcohol on exercise performance and give a brief insight into explanatory factors.

Ex-councilman's sentencing delayed
Attorney asks for more time to prepare
A federal judge has agreed to postpone a sentencing hearing for a former New Orleans city councilman who pleaded guilty to plotting to misuse federal money intended to help a nonprofit organization after Hurricane Katrina.
U.S. District Judge Lance Africk moved Jon Johnson's sentencing from Oct. 25 to Nov. 15. Johnson's attorney had asked for more time to prepare for the hearing.
Johnson faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He pleaded guilty in July to conspiracy to commit theft of government funds and to submit false documents.
Prosecutors say Johnson diverted money intended for the Ninth Ward Housing Development Corp., which was based in one of the neighborhoods hardest hit by flooding after the 2005 hurricane.

IF YOU NEEDED any proof that we are now officially an entertainment-driven culture, this month's fawning, hagiographic coverage of Michael Jackson's passing provided it.
Our collective trip down this perilous path is not without precedent — or peril.
New York Times columnist Bob Herbert observed: "The Michael-mania that erupted since Jackson's death — just not an appreciation of his music, but a giddy celebration of his life — is yet another spasm of the culture opting for fantasy over reality." We are, as Neil Postman put it in the title of his landmark 1985 book, "Amusing Ourselves to Death." (Subtitled: "Public Discourse in The Age of Show Business").
The heedless, even irresponsible Jackson-trumps-all coverage and pandering arguably reached its nadir when Michael's memorial service bumped Barack Obama's signing a new nuclear weapons treaty in Moscow from the top of all the network newscasts.
Many Americans have opted for fantasy over reality — just like Mikey.
Following the song-and-dance man's death, the TV happy talk about the flawed (if talented) entertainer was the most disgraceful coverage by corporate media since the days leading up to the current Iraq war, when seemingly every "patriotic" Pentagon P.R. idea became a live-shot opportunity for cable news.
Herbert also noted that after another song-and-dance man, Ronald Reagan, was elected, "We descended as a society into a fantasyland, trying to leave the limits and consequences and obligations of the real world behind."
This entertainment-at-all-costs mentality is also the reason for the huge infusion of TV sports-rights cash that has arguably sullied the educational standards and campuses of so many U.S. colleges. The glorification of jocks — despite their all-too-common glaring personal deficiencies — is another prime example of this sad spectacle that is the mainstream U.S. media today. (How many ESPNs are there now? Four? Five?)
Speaking of spectacles, an alarming but fascinating and eye-popping little 1958 book, "Those About to Die," should be at the top of the summer reading list for anyone appalled at all this.
This almost-forgotten classic by Daniel Mannix details how the Romans literally amused themselves to death and provides a road map to where our mass culture seems headed.
The Colosseum was flooded — to stage naval battles for the "Bread and Circuses" masses. "Paradise Islands" were constructed — populated by handsome men and women who were soon devoured by crocodiles.
Tarps were constructed over the Colosseum so that entertainment-hungry masses could spectate for days at a time out of direct sun.
Entire herds of zebras and lions were captured and brought to Rome to be slaughtered for public amusement. The logistics of all this in that time boggles the mind.
And then, of course, there were the blood-soaked gladiator spectacles.
The Times' Herbert referenced "the extreme immaturity and grotesque irresponsibility" that surrounds Jackson and his fans.
We've fashioned a popular culture in which no one has to grow up and act like an adult.
Sadly, because of our relentlessly pandering and devalued mass media, being severely emotionally damaged is now officially cool.

THUMBS UP to the new Pocono Dome in Snydersville, a sports venue, for sponsoring a fundraiser with the American Red Cross of the Poconos to provide relief for tornado victims in Oklahoma. The event last Sunday offered lessons, fitness classes and recreational sports including football drills, inviting participants to donate to the Red Cross by way of admission.
THUMBS DOWN to two parents from western Pennsylvania, who now face charges after authorities say motorists spied a 10-year-old girl riding in a dog cage in the back of a pickup truck on the Pennsylvania turnpike near Millvale. Police said the girl's mother, 29, and stepfather, 30, told them the girl wanted to be with the dog. Even if that is true, as adults with presumably higher reasoning powers than a child, they should have protected the girl by having her ride inside the vehicle. Instead, they treated her like a dog, and deserve the charges of endangering her welfare.
THUMBS UP to Stroudsburg senior Donovan Clay for winning the gold medal in the high jump during the recent PIAA Track & Field Championships at Shippensburg University. Clay jumped 6 feet, 6 inches, an inch above his seed height of 6-5, to capture the top prize. He's now only the third individual state champion from Stroudsburg, and the fourth overall from the school.
THUMBS DOWN to giant Wal-Mart Stores Inc. for putting profits ahead of environment. Wal-Mart pleaded guilty Tuesday to dumping hazardous waste in California. The huge retailer was accused of improperly disposing of pesticides, fertilizers and paints. Any well-heeled company has the wherewithal to train its employees properly and insist that they handle such materials according to the law and certainly ought to respect that law by complying with it. That's the price of operating in a free, capitalist society: Don't harm others while you make your millions.
THUMBS UP to the volunteers of the Pocono Greyhound Adoption group, who have spent 10 years raising awareness of the sad plight of discarded racing dogs. The group holds programs, raises money and matches retired racers with adoptive families. Thumbs up also to LizTech, the locally owned jewelry maker, for designing a greyhound pin the group can use for raising funds. To learn more about greyhound adoption, contact 570 856-0377 or email@example.com.

China official approves of Taiwan peace accord vow
TAIPEI, Taiwan A Chinese official says Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou's call for a cross-strait peace accord is "in the interest of the Chinese race."
Wednesday's statement by China's Taiwan Affairs Office spokesman Yang Yi comes amid continuing rows in Taiwan over Ma's proposal.
Ma said last week he would seek a China peace accord if re-elected next January. He added the move may require a referendum after the opposition charged the treaty will hurt Taiwan's sovereignty.
While Yang lauds the accord, he says no politician should manipulate the referendum issue.
Taiwan and China split amid civil war in 1949. Beijing still claims Taiwan as its own.
China opposes referendums because it sees them as the privilege of a formal state, a status it rejects for Taiwan.

Week 5 prep football games to see, predictions
EASTLAKE vs. ST. AUGUSTINE
Scouting report: St. Augustine won't be able to match Eastlake's relentless running game, not without top rusher Tyler Herburger (504 yards, 7 TDs), who fractured his right leg last week. Running backs Elijah Preston and Francoise Sims II may be asked to step up against the Titans' speedy defense, a tall task that seems even taller when considering both players are still freshmen. The Saints came away with a 21-20 victory in last year's meeting, but at less than full strength they'll have trouble keeping Aaron Baltazar (9.5 yards per carry) and Eastlake's other runners off the field.
Prediction: Eastlake 35, St. Augustine 21
MISSION BAY vs. CHRISTIAN
Scouting report: Mission Bay gets the edge on paper, but don't underestimate defending San Diego Section Division V champ Christian. The Patriots play bigger than their size and will be hungry after blowing a 10-point lead last week against Francis Parker. The Buccaneers have their own motivation; they squandered an 11-point cushion in last Friday's loss to Patrick Henry. Rayvon Owens (545 rushing yards) leads Christian's run-oriented offense against Mission Bay's athletic front seven.
Prediction: Mission Bay 21, Christian 20
EL CAPITAN at WEST HILLS
Scouting report: El Capitan's offensive line includes four starters weighing more than 250 pounds. West Hills counters with a defensive front led by end Jordan Arnold, who leads the section with nine sacks. A victory would give West Hills its most wins in a season since 2007.
Prediction: West Hills 31, El Capitan 28
VALHALLA at MOUNT MIGUEL
Scouting report: The Norsemen have assaulted the scoreboard this season, averaging just under 40 points per game behind section-leading passer Ramsey Romano. But Valhalla hasn't mustered much defense, and Mount Miguel's backfield of Tony Dozier and Shannon Nickson is talented.
Prediction: Valhalla 42, Mount Miguel 35
Lin's season record: 8-4
LC CANYON at SAN PASQUAL
Scouting report: La Costa Canyon's strength is its defense, which has shut out two opponents. San Pasqual entered the season with plenty of new faces after returning only six starters. At 3-1, it's worked out so far. RB Trent Wilson and WR Conner Christofferson lead a solid offense. Expect a low-scoring, physical game.
Prediction: LCC 16, San Pasqual 10
MISSION HILLS at OCEANSIDE
Scouting report: Everyone knows about Pirates playmakers Thai Cottrell and Tofi Paopao, but can the Grizzlies stop them? They don't necessarily need to. Mission Hills has a star, too, in Connor Wynn, who has a 350-plus passing game under his belt. Each team boasts a decisive win over a formidable opponent and neither has lost to a section foe yet.
Prediction: Mission Hills 27, Oceanside 23
MADISON at MIRA MESA
Scouting report: Madison's only blemish this season is a 42-28 loss to Valhalla, which came in Week 2. Interestingly enough, Mira Mesa's only win came against Valhalla the week prior. Trap game? Could be. Madison needs to control the line of scrimmage and feed Arizona Wildcat-commit Pierre Cormier the ball early and often to avoid a possible letdown. The Marauders must allow signal-caller Trey Lomax to let if fly to have any chance.
Prediction: Madison 28, Mira Mesa 17
MORSE at CATHEDRAL CATHOLIC
Scouting report: After edging section preseason No. 1 Helix two weeks ago, the Dons took a step back against No. 11 nationally ranked Vista Murrieta. Understandable. The defending section Division III champions clean up their mistakes against a Morse team that is expected to make plenty of noise in the City League but has disappointed thus far with a 1-3 record in nonleague play. Cathedral's size up front and running back Tony Johnson might be too much for the Tigers to overcome.
Prediction: Cathedral Catholic 31, Morse 14
Malveaux's season record: 4-8

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A Kentucky National Guard company returned home just in time for Christmas. Members from Cynthiana and Olive Hill returned to the Kentucky Horse Park on Sunday. The 149th Vertical Construction Company was stationed in Afghanistan for nearly a year.
It was a 31-hour journey for SSG Andy Wiglesworth, but it was worth it to reunite with his wife "Moe" and to meet his new granddaughter, Natalie, for the first time.
"I'm so happy to be home. It's been a long time coming," said Wiglesworth.
With Christmas in a few days, the Wiglesworth household will be complete for the holiday.
"I'm just absolutely thrilled to death he's finally home. Without a doubt," said Maureen "Moe" Wiglesworth.
Officials say 152 men and women returned Sunday.

We loved it, and had a great Holiday

Review Submitted: April 26, 2011 Date of Stay: February 2011
My wife and I stayed in this property on what was our first visit to Cyprus. We often stay in self-catering flats throughout Europe, but must say this was the best. We were impressed with Chris and Caroline's responsiveness and attentiveness during the booking process and while we traveled to ensure our airport transfer was covered, as well as with the management staff on-site being helpful and professional. It was easy - we just turned up and walked into the comfort of this fully-equipped flat - and we commented to each other how clean and fresh we found it. It's spacious and comfortable. The village is great for either a quiet peacefull holiday, or for more active adventures - close to the sea; bars and restaurants, museums and sights, yet with very nice restaurants (both local / traditional as well as western fare) and great pubs in the village just a short stroll from the flat. Also handy are local groceries and fruit / veg markets, a 24-hour So-Easy store as well as a DVD movie rental shop - all within a 5 - 10 minute stroll. It's an ideal location for both young couples or retirees, as you find a very good social mix here. We love the place and will make it a frequent holiday spot -and this flat is the ideal choice.

Review Submitted: March 9, 2011 Date of Stay: February 2011
We spent 9 days here in early February and found the apartment very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Despite arriving in very unusually cold weather, the wall air con/heaters kept us toasty. By the time we left the days were getting warmer and warmer and Cyprus really does deserve it's reputation for sun all year round, even if you do get the odd cold day. I can imagine though that in the heat of the summer this flat would be nice and cool.
Oroklini village, 5 minutes walk up the road is a delight, and one of the best birthday nights I ever had was at the Voreas taverna in the old part of the village. A delightfully restored old building, this restaurant is really special, with relaxed, friendly but excellent service and a delicious, more than you can eat, meze. Highly recommended. As well as the friendly bars, dvd rental, supermarket (free cabbage and soft drinks with every shop while we were there!!!), butcher - all a real delight. And cooking in the flat was a dream as the equipment all works - there is a really good proper oven, unlike in some rental apartments.
Once the weather warmed up it was even warm enough to get a slight tan sitting by the pristine pool. Too cold for me to swim in but so nice that they keep it full in the winter.
After a couple of days we did relent and go and rent a car as the buses seemed to be beyond our capabilities! But this was easy enough at the beach and the flat comes with a secure parking slot which was very useful.
All in all I can highly recommend the apartment. Owners Chris and Caroline were delightful to deal with, as were their property management team on the ground who were helpful, highly professional and all jolly good sorts.

Owner's Response: Thank you for the kind comments Sue; glad you had a nice stay with us and a great birthday by the sounds of it!

McClatchey wins heat to make 200m Free semis
30th July 2012
Caitlin McClatchey won her heat to secure a 200m Freestyle semi-final spot at her third Olympic Games.
The double world medallist timed her race to perfection, surging through in the final 25m and keeping her head down to touch in 1:58.03.
I was feeling confident after the relay and to win my heat against some of the best girls in the world is fantastic.
McClatchey finished sixth in the 200m Freestyle at the last Olympics in Beijing four years ago and is well-placed to repeat the feat after progressing equal seventh fastest.
"I'm really pleased with this morning," said McClatchey. "Obviously the heats are always a bit tough and you're never sure how you're going to swim.
"But I was feeling confident after the 4x100m Relay and to win my heat against some of the best girls in the world is fantastic."
Olympic debutante Rebecca Turner was also in action in the 200m Freestyle heats and held her own in a world class race.
Competing against world champion Federica Pellegrini and USA's star Missy Franklin, Turner came home sixth in her heat in 1:58.98.
The 19-year old was ultimately ranked 17th, an agonizing 0.02 off a semi-final place.
Hannah Miley also progressed to tonight's semi-finals in the 200m Individual Medley.
I'm feeling relaxed and happy so whatever happens I'll come out with a smile on my face.
The Scot finished fifth in the 400m IM on the opening day of the Games and gave herself the chance to make another Olympic final as she cruised through the heats 10th fastest in 2:12.27.
"I'm really happy with how that went," said Miley.
"I always take it stage by stage so I'm glad I made it back for the semis. Now that I'm in the semi, the next stage is to try and improve on that.
"You can't predict how the other swimmers will go - it's the Olympic Games and it never usually goes how everyone predicts so I'm just going to go out and enjoy it.
"I'm feeling relaxed and happy about it so whatever happens I'll come out with a smile on my face."
Sophie Allen made her first Olympic appearance in the 200m IM heats and came within half a second of making her first Olympic semi-finals.
The English record holder touched in 2:14.72 to finish 20th overall.
"I was a bit disappointed with that to be honest," said Allen. "It was off my best time so I'm gutted.
"It's in a par with my fastest ever heat swims but I need to step my game up in the heats.
"It was an amazing experience though - the noise from the crowd was so cool when I was about to get on the block."
Joe Roebuck was the second Brit to miss out on the semi-finals by a single place as he finished 17th in the 200m Butterfly heats.
I've got a couple more days rest now before the 200m IM which has been my main focus for this Games.
Like Turner, the Brit was just 0.02 seconds off the final qualification spot as he clocked 1:56.99.
"I wanted to come here and swim a few PBs and that hasn't quite gone for me so far," said Roebuck.
"But I've got a couple more days rest now before the 200m IM which has been my main focus for this Games so hopefully that will go well."
Roberto Pavoni was the second Brit in the 200m Butterfly heats, but slipped off the pace as the two fastest qualifiers, Austria's Dinko Jukic and USA's Tyler Clary took the race out.
Pavoni ultimately finished seventh in his heat, clocking 1:57.55 to rank 20th overall.
"It was a bit slower than I'd hoped," said Pavoni. "I was really hoping to make the semi-finals today and the time was within my capability.
"Having said that, it was a really tough swim. I was really struggling towards the end so I know I gave it my all and that's all you can ask for really."

Question (From an N.C. State undergraduate): It is the end of the year, and I have a lot of research papers due. I hope that the Grammar Hotline can refresh my memory of MLA documentation. Specifically, I need to know how many spaces need to be put after commas and periods. Do the standard typing rules apply to the bibliography, or is it different? I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Answer: There's a link from the OWL to a file that reviews MLA style. Your question about spacing, however, is less about MLA style than it is about typography. I recommend leaving two spaces after periods and colons if you are using a noncompensatory font (e.g., Courier), and one space after periods and colons if you are using a compensatory font (e.g., Times Roman).
Question: In the following sentence, would you use italics, quotation marks, or nothing for schedule and baby?
You should not even use the word schedule in the same sentence with the word baby.
Answer: If you have the option, the best choice is to italicize baby and schedule. In print environments that do not offer italics (e-mail, newspapers [at least, until recently]), you have to use the only typographic option open to you, namely quotation marks.
An aside: I hope you have noticed that your sample sentence uses schedule and baby in the same sentence. I think the most you can claim in this context is that the noun phrase baby schedule is an oxymoron.
Question (From an N.C. State continuing education student): Thirty years ago, when I learned to type, you put two spaces after a period. An article I read recently in The Editorial Eye, however, said that "French spacing" is a copyediting error. My question is: How many spaces should you put after a period? Is this something new with computers?
Answer: The number of spaces after periods and colons are traditionally the concern of the designer and typesetter--not the copyeditor. It is true that most typeset copy leaves only one space after a period, but some fonts are more readable with two. I talk about this issue in English 214 when we first started copymarking. I tell students not to close up spaces that will be taken care of later by the typesetter with replicating commands.
I find it interesting that the Editorial Eye classifies this as a copyediting concern--it shows how much responsibility for typesetting copyeditors are beginning to assume in the new technology. Are you sure, however, that this was not classified as a proofreading, rather than a copyediting error? Proofreaders, of course, look at spacing because they are responsible for reviewing the typesetter's work.
Question (From a technical-writing consultant working for state government): Traditional punctuation rules dictated that two spaces are to be placed after a period ending a sentence. However, through my reading and discussions with colleagues, I have discovered that, because of the increased usage of computers and the decline of typewriters, it is becoming more and more common to put only one space after the period. Could you direct me towards any research, readability studies, papers, etc., that have been published on this topic?
Answer: I have spent an hour poking around in my reference sources for the bibliographic references you need, but so far I have been unsuccessful. The Grammar Hotline, however, is of sturdy stock. I know I will eventually prevail. For now, however, I will simply tell you what I think I know. (An hour ago I would have sworn that I do, in fact, know these things. Now that I can't find my sources, I deem it wiser to couch my terms.)
Standard keyboarding practice on a typewriter is to leave two spaces after terminal punctuation. This is because most typewriters are limited to noncompensatory spacing. (Noncompensatory spacing leaves the same amount of horizontal space regardless of the physical width of the letter.) Noncompensatory spacing is very choppy, and the eye cannot discern sentence ends without an extra dollop of choppiness.
Standard keyboarding practice on typesetting machines, however, has always been to adjust the space between words evenly to justify the copy. Typeset copy is generally in a compensatory font. There is extra white space between sentences in compensatory fonts, but this white space is supplied naturally rather than mechanically. Because periods are such small punctuation marks, they leave white space in the very space they occupy. Typesetters, thus, ordinarily leave only one space after a period, reasoning that the period itself leaves the extra space to balance the copy and indicate the end of a sentence. Colons are actually medial-sentence punctuation. They occupy more vertical space than periods, but logically need less space than would be necessary after the end of a sentence.
Computer-generated copy is usually printed in a compensatory font. Recommended keyboarding practice thus follows typesetting rules rather than typewriter rules.
I can recall reading about these standards in several different places. One was a list of suggestions for making one's word-processed copy look typeset. (The first rule was to leave only one space after a period or a colon.) Another was a complete discussion of this topic on an Internet source. Unfortunately, I scanned this only cursorily, since I regard this as a typesetting, rather than a grammar or punctuation, question. I do recall, however, that leaving two spaces was called "French spacing."
So far, the following sources have failed me: The Chicago Manual of Style, Words into Type, The Editorial Eye (though it is possible that I read the French spacing article in The Eye's new anthology, STET! Again), Working with Words, the manual to Microsoft Word 2.0 (a word processor), the manual to Quark (a desktop-publishing software package)
Although I found nothing about leaving only a single space after a period, I must tell you that I also found nothing about leaving two spaces after a period. I'll keep looking.
Answer 2: I submitted your bibliographic request to a copyediting listserve to see what I would get back. So far there have been about a dozen responses, but only two have provided a bibliographic source, both to a book called The MAC Is Not a Typewriter.
To subscribe to the copyediting listserve (which I cannot stand to do for long because the level of detail drives me nuts--a scary thought, eh?) send a message to email@example.com. The body of your message should be: sub copyediting-l Your Name.

Although he identifies himself as a Hare Krishna, Hansard said he still feels a strong connection with the culture of mysticism that is so powerful in Celtic traditions.
"It's written in our history books," he said. "I make art and that's great, but digging in the hole and growing potatoes is a higher calling. In Ireland, the land is pulsing."
Perhaps it's this cultural resonance that prompts Hansard to keep an open mind, including with his Catholic upbringing. He has walked the pilgrimage of the Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain, four times. While touring, he constantly meets fans from other religious backgrounds.
"You're defined by your beliefs, and I want to be fluid because there are so many people who follow different religions," he said. "You have to give up a little bit of what you believe to understand that."

I can state the problem more concretely now: the site alteration settings do not stick for the first tab opened during a session. Does anyone know where bugs can be reported for this plugin?
The site alteration plugin is flakey in Snow Leopard for certain kinds of sites. I have specified a minimum font size for Gmail and Google Reader -- it works when I initially open the page, but if I view another page in a new tab and then return to the Gmail/Reader tab the font-size setting is lost and returns only when I reload the page.
I know using command + click will open in new tab (I always use it) but sometimes I click a link and instead of using the SAME window, Safari opens a new one.
How to force Safari to ALWAYS open in new tab; Go in terminal and type:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
Change "true" to "false" to change it back.
Now what I need is something to close download window after download completes.
@miknos to continue from what @zo219 said holding â and clicking a link opens a link in a new tab in the same window (without moving focus to the new tab), holding â and ⧠when clicking a link opens a link in a new tab in the same window (and moves focus to the new tab), ⥠and â when clicking a link opens a link in a new window behind the current window, and ⥠when clicking on a link downloads the linked file.
I use only Copy Title/URL and type ahead search but I desperately need both....please update for Snow Leopard!!
BASIC functions Safari should have:
- Open in new tab instead of new window.
- Close download tab after X seconds.
The rest of SafariStand features I don't use at all.
I hope a Snow Leopard compatible comes out soon.
SafariStand and Glims both have session (or tabs) restore, neither SafariStand nor SMBLare crashing your computer, Command-Click opens new links in tabs, the best cookie manager is CocoaCookies. Trust me on all of this.
Anyone knows of something that offers the keyword shortcut functions WITHOUT depending on SIMBL (which hasn't been updated since October 2007 and crashes under Safari 3.2.1)?
I love it for giving me a visual web history. Did figure that out myself, however....read it on www.mackindergarten.com - great site btw.
Does anyone know how to uninstall Safaristand?!?

Location: Tropical Plant Genetic Resources and Disease Research
Project Number: 2040-21000-014-00
Start Date: Mar 08, 2013
End Date: Mar 07, 2018
1) The curator and five staff continue management of the 14 designated clonal germplasm collections (app 1000 accessions) in 33 field acres, greenhouse & a tissue culture laboratory. C. papaya and Vasconcellea spp. seeds are regenerated every 4 years in PRSV-free fields and in greenhouses using controlled pollination. Cleaned seeds are stored at 4 C and storage units monitored electronically via a security company. A senior staff and the curator are on call for temperature alarm calls. Descriptors will be collected on plant and fruit morphologies and stored in a local database. Passport, inventory and descriptors information are periodically loaded onto the Germplasm Resource Information Network (GRIN). Survey of existing U.S. collections of tropical fruit genetic resources will be conducted; (2) Curator and scientists will work with Tropical/Subtropical Crop Germplasm Committee (CGC) members and the Plant Exchange Office to identify and collect germplasm already in the U.S. from University research collections and botanical gardens. Unit scientists will cultivate and establish working relationships with scientists in some Pacific Rim countries including the Philippines, Oceania, Vietnam and Thailand through participation in international germplasm conferences and meetings to identify potential resources of Sapindaceae (Litchi and rambutan relatives), Burseraceae (Canarium or pili nut relatives) and Moraceae (Artocarpus or breadfruit relatives). Information on NPGS germplasm policies, quarantine procedures and standard Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) will be collated and made available to cooperators to facilitate and encourage germplasm exchanges; (3) The research horticulturist will work with ARS scientists in Florida, Puerto Rico, and Mississippi to develop and apply SSR or SNP molecular marker technology for Litchi sp. (litchi), Ananas sp. (pineapple), Carica sp. (papaya), and related species (Vasconcellea and Jacaratia). Crop specific markers will be input into GRIN-Global with links to genetic observations. Thirty SSR molecular markers have been developed for Carica and will be compared to the newly developed SNP markers; and (4) The Hilo unit will follow a strict process in moving disease-free scionwood, after a designated quarantine period of visual inspection and testing for laurel wilt and ASBVd, from the Fort Detrick, MD quarantine facility to establish a NPGS avocado germplasm back-up in Hawaii. The scion will be grafted in Hilo onto clean rootstocks and confined in a quarantine facility for 4 to 6 months under supervision of the unit plant pathologist. Plants free from Laurel Wilt and ASBVd will be moved to a holding greenhouse for additional observations for four to six months before transplanting into larger containers and placing on elevated benches in the avocado germplasm screenhouse. Scion will be harvested from the germplasm collection for distribution or evaluation research.

This letter box is not valid. The school is under repair curently. Sorry for any inconviencence, I did not realize that the school would be rebuilt.
Things to bring*:
stamp, pen, your logbook, these directions
* You don't need to bring an inkpad, the stamp in Stone Figures contains its own ink.
difficulty: medium
In North Avondale, drive until you see North Avondale Montessori School. Park your car then walk up the drive way to the right of the front of the building. Walk to the entrance of the woods. Walk down the steps until you get to the asphalt part of the trail. Cross the bridge to get to the split in the trail. Take the left path at the split. Walk across the wooden bridge then walk up the steps. When you get to the top of the steps, walk one foot past the locust tree on your right. Look behind the tree. The Stone Figures Letterbox is under the plants at the foot of the locust tree. Please contact me if you find the box.
The name of the box is named after a rumor. The myth says that two boys were once playing football in the woods when the ball went into the yard of the person living in the white house. The boys retrived the ball but continued to play on the yard of the white house. The person who owned the house then saw them playing in his yard so he went outside and turned the boys to Stone Figures. So anyone that the owner catches on his yard is turned to stone.

It's another one of those nights. I almost wish I had a beer in my hand.
I don't.
Instead I'm listening to Joseph Arthur's album "Nuclear Daydream."
I just finished watching "Saved." It's an odd sort of feeling, but I do like the movie in general. It does a good job demonstrating some problems with pop-evangelical-Christianity. But the movie has no solution or realistic conclusion. I think one of the things that weirds me out the most is the main character reminds me of my ex-girlfriend. At least in looks if not in other ways.
I've been playing a lot of chess online lately. For some reason, turn-based games have had a grip on me lately. It may have something to do with the game of Risk I played on New Year's Eve and the fun I had. So now I'm playing chess consistently (if you want to play, let me know), and today I was introduced to the wonders of Civ 4. Now there's a game with great strategy and designed to look and play well.
Sometimes I wish my life took place in a series of turns. It'd be so much easier to determine where I want to go and what I want to do if I had a week to think between making life-changing decisions. In the real world, though, some decisions take minutes. Some decisions never get made.
Each decision plays a role in the greater whole.
Even though I had a lot of fun hanging out today, playing Civ 4, and passing the time, I still wind up in the same place at the end off the night. I'm in my room hanging out with machines and inanimate objects. I'm in a room where the only being capable of love is myself, and I'm no artisan of love.
These are the moments I am weakest.
Artist: Joseph Arthur
Song: You Are Free
Album: Nuclear Daydream
Time is moving on
You and me
You and me
Suffering is gone
You are free
You are free
I know I let you down
Those days are over now
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was

Violet Irene Gann Wheeler, 92, of Duncan died Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2012, in Duncan.
Services are planned for Thursday, Oct. 4, at 1:30 p.m. at Gospel Beams Church, with the Rev. Ray Ledbetter officiating. Interment will follow at the Foster Cemetery. Arrangements have been entrusted to Don Grantham Funeral Home in Duncan.
A visitation for family and friends was scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 3, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Don Grantham Funeral Home.
Irene was born June 2, 1920, in Claud to Lewis Henry and Annie Lee (Ridgell) Ferguson. She was born again and baptized as a teenager and consistently lived a Godly and devoted Christian life all through the years until her death. Irene attended school at Claud and Mountain View until her mother died, whereupon at age 15, she moved with her older sister Bertha to Oklahoma City, where she attended Capitol Hill High School. In 1942, Irene met a tall, handsome bachelor who was teaching and coaching at Lindsay High School. She and that bachelor, Chauncey Ray Gann, were married on Jan. 4, 1943. For 25 years, they lived in the Foster and Doyle communities, where they farmed and raised Hereford cattle and Hampshire hogs, as well as three children, Jim, Zora and Wayne. During that time, Irene was an active member of the Garvin County extension homemakers club and Mountain View Community Church.
Because of Chauncey's poor health, they sold the farm in 1968 and moved to Marlow, where Irene's beloved husband died on May 15, 1970. On Sept. 15, 1984, Irene married a wonderful Christian man, Leonard A. Wheeler, and moved to his home in Duncan. They had 12 happy years together before Leonard preceded her in death on Oct. 21, 1996. Irene was a faithful member of Gospel Beams Church in Duncan as long as she was able to attend; and even after strokes had disabled her, she always wanted to know, "Is this a church night?" Her family feels so blessed to have had a Godly mother and Granny. Everyone will remember Granny Gann, aka Granny Wheeler, aka "Reenie Pooh," as a loving, beautiful, witty person. She was just "cute." Her family will miss her deeply, but will continue their lives here with the certainty that they will see her again in heaven.
In addition to her husbands, Irene was preceded in death by her oldest son, Jimmy Dean Gann, who died on July 25, 2007; a stepson, Glen Wheeler; her parents; and her siblings, Carrie Lee (Ferguson) Pate, George Ira (Bill) Ferguson, Ora Druscilla (Ferguson) Goodwin, William Thell Ferguson, Carl Henry Ferguson, Bertha Inez (Ferguson) Harrell, and a sister, Ida Bell Ferguson, who died at age 3.
Survivors include a daughter and son-in-law, Zora Ann and Thomas Johnson of Duncan; a son and daughter-in-law, Chauncey Wayne and Diane Gann of Duncan; a daughter-in-law, Laura Gann of Houma, La.; a stepdaughter-in-law, Billie Wheeler of Stroud; six grandchildren, Michele Gann Robichaux and Tim of Thibodaux, La., Melanie Gann Aubin and Jaime of Thibodaux, Melissa Gann Zink and Damian of Bowling Green, Ky., and their mother, Barbara Gann of Thibodaux, Lana Johnson Walker and Jeff of Duncan, Marla Johnson Hicks and Jason of Duncan, Clint Gann and Molly of Marlow, and Clint's mother, Carolyn Lowe of Marlow.
Also surviving are stepgrandchildren, Rene Wood and Bill of Cleburne, Texas, Misty Rasmussen and Chris of Wasilla, Alaska, Trevor Bussey of Houma, Trent Bussey and Karen of New Orleans, La., Kim Wheeler and Marilyn of Stroud, and Gay Wheeler Trivett of Stillwater; 34 great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; and a grand-dog, Freddy.
Pallbearers are Clint Gann, Jeff Walker, Jason Hicks, Jedidiah Walker, Jackson Hicks and Scott Dean.
Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.granthamfuneralhomes.com.
