It's a bit of a mystery to me why so many ceremonial first pitches end in abject failure. Nobody is forced to throw out the first pitch at a game. And, presumably those who agree to do it get a fair amount of warning before their appearance—meaning they should have plenty of time to practice.
Not everyone who throws out a first pitch is necessarily a baseball fan, but I'm not sure why you'd even agree to this in the first place if you weren't a fan of the game. There's absolutely nothing positive to be gained from throwing out a ceremonial first pitch, but there's plenty to be lost.
Countless athletes, celebrities, politicians and common folk have been granted the opportunity to throw out the first pitch, and most of them have walked away with a little (or a lot) less dignity. You never hear of someone throwing out a great first pitch—because nobody cares.
There are few other activities out there that will only get you noticed if you fall flat on your face. Quite literally a no-win situation for most people. Let's take a look at the 20 worst ceremonial first pitches in baseball history.

Edinboro wrestlers prepare for Northwestern, Clarion
Edinboro's home dual-meet schedule isn't exactly filled with pushovers this season. The 20th-ranked Fighting Scots (1-1) hosted 11th-ranked Virginia Tech two weeks ago, and they'll host MAC power Kent State and defending EWL champion Pittsburgh in February.
Today brings another top-flight team to McComb Fieldhouse, with No. 10 Northwestern visiting as part of a tri-meet along with Clarion. Wrestling begins at 1 p.m. with Clarion-Northwestern, followed by Northwestern-Edinboro at 3 and Clarion-Edinboro at 5.
The Scots dropped a 21-16 decision to Virginia Tech in their last dual meet before rebounding to win their second straight PSAC championship last weekend. They opened their dual-meet schedule with a 22-12 win over Michigan State.
"I think we're wrestling fairly well," said Edinboro coach Tim Flynn, whose team will use today as a springboard for the Dec. 29-30 Midlands Invitational. "But the good news is we can get a lot better."
It wouldn't hurt if some of that improvement took place today against the Wildcats (3-1), a formidable Big Ten contender with six ranked wrestlers, according to InterMat.
Leading the way is second-ranked 157-pounder Jason Welch (9-0), fourth at last year's NCAA tournament. He is joined by No. 10 Pierce Harger (165), No. 9 Lee Munster (174) and No. 8 Mike McMullan (heavyweight) in an imposing back half of its lineup.
"They're good, and they remind me a lot of Virginia Tech," Flynn said. "We're going to have to wrestle very well, especially against their upperweights."
To win, Edinboro likely will need a fast start by its trio of ranked lightweights -- No. 4 A.J. Schopp (133), No. 5 Mitchell Port (141) and No. 16 Dave Habat (149) -- and a strong showing by 18th-ranked junior Johnny Greisheimer in a showdown with Harger at 165.
Clarion (1-1) lacks Northwestern's firepower but has improved rapidly under first-year coach Troy Letters, a former Penn State assistant who brought three former Nittany Lions with him.
Third-ranked James Fleming (15-0), third at nationals last year, leads the Golden Eagles. Fleming and Welch are on course to meet in what could be the day's best matchup.
Clarion's lineup also includes a pair of former District 10 wrestlers -- Nick Milano from Cathedral Prep at 165 and Phil Catrucco from Sharpsville at heavyweight.
The Golden Eagles were second to Edinboro at PSACs but won some head-to-head matchups against the Scots and out-placed them at a few weights.
"They're not as strong as Northwestern, but they've got a number of good kids," Flynn said. "You know this is kind of a big weekend for us because we've got some good teams coming in and also because it's the end of the semester academically and the kids have that challenge, too. We need to be ready."

Rob Chifokoyo didn't know what to say.
The seconds dragged on for what felt like minutes. Sitting in his living room, the only sound was his wife, Lisa, weeping next to him.
Eight months ago, Chifokoyo, 30, was facing almost certain death. His kidneys were failing, and treatment in his native Zimbabwe was prohibitively expensive.
But he'd been flown to Bucks County at the expense of Doylestown's Covenant Church, then kept alive through dialysis at a local hospital. Eventually, he'd need a kidney transplant.
That's what 22-year-old Covenant member Michael Wortell was with Chifokoyo to discuss.
"I don't know how to tell you this," Wortell said, "but I've been chosen to be your donor."

One of the best games I have ever played
I have been playing video games for years now. My first console was the original Playstation. Never before have I played a game like Little Big Planet. This year saw the biggest video game releases coming around the same time. In a crowd of Game of the Year contenders, Little Big Planet truly stands out. This is simply because of its innovation and INFINITE replayability. There is a short story mode in the game where you can learn the basic controls, and get a few pickups, but that is just scratching the surface. After you complete the story mode, there are literally thousands of user created levels to play. If that's not enough, you can create your own levels! This is where LBP shines. I have played some games with custom level creators, but I have never played one so simple to use, yet so advanced. You can make the most complex level that you can think of, and you WONT be held back by a steep learning curve. The only limit is your imagination. I have a friend who owns a PS3 and he said he wont be getting this game because of its "cute" look. He's more into shooters. Do not be deceived by the look. This game has so much to offer to everyone, that it would be a shame to miss out on it for a reason like that.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Novo Nordisk and Merrion signed a collaboration and option agreement to evaluate the ability of the latter's GIPET® platform to improve the oral bioavailability of an undisclosed compound. Under terms of the deal Novo Nordisk receives a 20-day warrant to acquire up to €1.5 million (just under $2 million) worth of Merrion stock at yesterday's closing price of €3 per share. Merion can request Novo Nordisk to acquire up to €500,000 (about $657,000) worth of its shares at that price over the 20-day period.
Following the completion of feasibility studies Novo Nordisk will have an option to license the GIPET technology. The firms already have existing license agreements in place for the development of oral formulations of GLP-1 and insulin. Both of these candidates are in Phase I development.
Dublin, Ireland-based Merrion is exploiting its absorption-enhancing GIPET technology to develop orally bioavailable formulations of drugs that currently need to be administered by injection. The firm's in-house pipeline is headed by the Phase III-stage Orazol™, a weekly oral tablet-based formulation of the bisphosphonate zoledronic acid, which is in development for the treatment of early-stage breast cancer and metastatic bone disease. Merrion says sales of zoledronic acid as an intravenous infusion reached nearly $2 billion in 2009.
Next in line is Almerol™ an oral formaulation of the bisphosphonate osteoporosis therapy alendronate (Merck's Fosamax®), which is in Phase II studies primarily as a once-weekly dosage form. Earlier clinical-stage candidates include Acyline (MER-104), an oral GnRH antagonist in development for the treatment of cancer and other indications. MER-102 is a tablet formulation of an ultra low molecular weight heparin for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis.
Merrion's partnered pipeline is headed by the oral insulin and GLP-1 candidates in development with Novo Nordisk. Product development collaborations are also in place with pharma companies including Ferring Pharmaceuticals.

Collections of people, such as mobs, corporations, or teams, have long been known to have "personalities" of their own. In the internal workings, groups show magnified many of the same passions, conflicts, and styles of coping found in individuals. A group setting thus provides an enriched context for the understanding of an individual. In recent years, interest has grown dramatically in bringing people together in small groups to help them understand and change themselves through examining their interactions. A plethora of "group therapies" advocating widely different goals and techniques has evolved. Their varied claims, from the modest to the messianic, must leave the layman as well as the physician confused regarding the reasonable indications and expectations for the different modes of group therapy. This new textbook, Comprehensive Group Psychotherapy, attempts to clarify some of these confusions.

CTL Professional Development Calendar
Cognitive Development of the Adult Reader: Theory and Practice
The act of reading is a complex cognitive and neurological task. As a species, we've only been doing it regularly for a few hundred years, yet it is a primary source of acquiring knowledge. Over the next several months, SAGE Reading faculty are offering a 4-course series designed to penetrate the extensive theory and bests practices for teaching adults to become successful readers of a wide range of texts. Although the courses have been developed primarily for SAGE Reading and English faculty who will be teaching the new SAGE Integrated Reading and Writing courses, any instructor who requires students to read texts, articles, or essays can benefit from the courses. Each course will involve some pre-reading, a 4-hour workshop, and the opportunity for online follow-up discussions. For brief description of all 4 courses with registration links, go here.
4th Annual Conference on Teaching and Learning at CNM
This annual event for CNM faculty and instructional staff was held next on January 15, 2016. See more.
Date: January 15, 2016
Time: 8:00am--4:00pm

Skip to comments.'Joe's Law': Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Strategy to Derail Amnesty Enrages the Left
Posted on 04/14/2013 5:49:08 AM PDT by montag813
by John Hill
Stand With Arizona
Website | Facebook | Twitter
Sheriff Joe Arpaio is facing a campaign to recall him from office. They are collecting signatures, and already have more than half the required amount with two months to go. This follows a re-election campaign last year which saw unprecedented amounts spent on both sides, as George Soros committed $10 million to oust "America's Sheriff". Joe was forced to spend his entire 'war chest' of $8 million to (barely) hold onto office - the closest race of his career.
Why is the Left in America so focused on a single county's Sheriff, and willing to spend Congressional-level funds to defeat him?
Well for starters, Sheriff Joe is the biggest national symbol in the fight against illegal immigration. He has refused to back down from enforcing the immigration laws most law enforcement officials ignore, even in the face of attacks by race-baiting activists and lawsuits from the Obama Administration. His 'Tent City', pink underwear and cheap eats for inmates are legendary across America.
In addition, Sheriff Joe has taken a strong stand against Federal gun control - further angering the Left. Joe deployed his Posse to defend schools from would-be madmen like the one who targeted the kids in Newtown. He also said he would refuse to enforce any new gun-control laws from Washington - by far the largest county Sheriff to do so.
But perhaps the real reason Sheriff Joe is endlessly (and expensively) targeted is because he aggressively pursues a strategy that hits at the very heart of amnesty proponents. Arpaio systematically conducts workplace raids on companies discovered to have employees who gained employment by using fake or stolen IDs. Those illegal aliens who are arrested in his raids are typically charged with felonies. And any illegals who are convicted of or plea to a felony are put on the fast-track for deportation, or at the very least are barred from ever gaining citizenship or legal status under any version of "immigration reform" legislation. They are even barred from Obama's DACA program (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Understandably, this has enraged the Left.
The worksite raids began in 2008, after Arizona passed an employer-sanctions law meant to impose civil penalties on companies that knowingly hire undocumented workers. The Obama DOJ, La Raza and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce all challenged the law but Arizona prevailed in the U.S. Supreme Court in 2011. But starting in 2008, Sheriff Arpaio and the Maricopa County Attorney decided to use the new law to crack down on workers using false documents and charge them with identity theft. This strategy would ensure that a criminal record would keep illegal aliens from ever obtaining citizenship.
Arpaio has conducted 71 such workplace raids since 2008, arresting many hundreds of illegal alien identity thieves in the process. Workers are often charged with multiple counts of identity theft, typically a Class 4 felony, and offered plea bargains to a lower charge, such as taking the identity of another, a Class 6 violation. But even with such a conviction, they are typically guaranteed to be deported, and regardless, can never gain legal status in the U.S. under any current or proposed legislation.
Excerpt...click HERE for the full article...
Joe, you give the law abiding hope. This is supposed to be a nation of laws not men, now it is what political group you belong to or what race
In these inverted days, to enforce the law is to be a villain, when it comes to illegal mmigration.
But for gun law technical violations, they employ thousands to data-mine and sift and study their enemies (that's us) with electron microscopes.
Sheriff Joe would make a good president or VP. Next time Palin decides to run with an Arizona politician, I hope she chooses someone like Joe instead of someone like John McCain. I love the idea of working around the federal refusal to enforce the law - permanently barring these criminals from any path to citizenship. I have no problem with legal immigration, but I despise the idea of favoring criminals over those who (like my ancestors) enter this country legally.
above the law
Sheriff Joe is awesome. However, his agenda doesn't fit the agenda of Soros or other super-wealthy Middle-Eastern types who basically want illegals from especially Mexico coming here, further undermining our society, economy, religious foundations and leading us into slavery. The bottom-line agenda is to enslave the general populace.
not Joe he follows it and enforces it, so you must mean that other guy.
I mean the guy in the limo, he who must not be named
He's had two or three names, so who knows ?
two are certain ... with two there has to be many more aliases
The left will hate me. I Love Sheriff Joe!
If every sheriff did this:
Illegal immigration: Solved.
Unemployment: Solved.
But of course that's not the goal of the left. The goal of the left is to destroy the country.
"They are collecting signatures, and already have more than half the required amount with two months to go."
Yes but how many signatures would they have if the didn't count the illegals?
For your Viewing pleasure........
I brought Sheriff Joe to Chicago a couple of years ago, Brilliant man!!
Please help Joe fight the Soros-funded recall campaign: http://www.joepac.org
George Soros paying to have Arpaio ousted? That explains why Soros has so much invested in Rubio, McCain, Graham, and other Amnesty Liberal GOP
I will call Sheriff Joe's Office and see if this fundraising is LEGIT!
Other than people making money on his name.
-Ayn Rand
EXACTLY! This point is never brought out on our side. People think Mexico is Bangladesh or something. Their role in our illegal immigration crisis is always glossed over. I post this blurb wherever I can. :
Mexicos economy is the 10th richest nation on Earth, with a state-owned oil and minerals monopoly, state-owned tourist beaches, and boasts the worlds richest man, Carlos Slim Helú. Their unemployment rate in February was 4.85% near our best rate in the past 20 years. How is Mexico able to do so well? Because they export their poorest citizens to the United States - their outsourced welfare state. And those workers take jobs from Americans and legal immigrants, but also drain our social services with 57% of illegal alien Mexicans on at least one form of welfare. And not only does Mexico drain our economy by inundating us with its poorest, but its also reaps the benefits from those workers in America. Mexico gets back a staggering $25 billion annually in remittances cash sent back from its illegals who work (and collect welfare) in the U.S.
Behind the scenes of Amnesty..
See, Who is Cesar Conda?
GREAT! So a former Soros rag editor is now Rubio's Chief of Staff. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
When looking at the lay of the field and those against enforcing any of the laws ... the criminals always tell us, the enforcers, we win win anyway, enforcing the law will defeat us per the criminals. And with the lay of the field as is, the possibility is not remote, as you and I know. Also, as you know, should the left win .. the left too will be destroyed. These death wishers are ... there are no words to describe them. Thanks Travis. Is wonderful to read your thoughts and once in a while respond to the thoughts you typed or the pictures presented.
It will have to be a younger version - Joe is 80 years old and not in the best of health. I'm amazed he has the energy to do what he does now.
NOT defeat us per the criminals. The criminals are confident they will win. My error in the post, all.
Identity theft?
Excerpts from USA Today, Fri 4-12 editorial page 12A:
Identity theft has risen from 1/2 million to 1.8 million On IRS tax returns in the 4 years 09-12 that Obama has been in office.
ONE address in Lansing, Michigan, was used to file 2,137 tax returns in 2010.
ONE single bank account was used to receive 590 direct deposit refunds totaling more than $900,000.
Also- a couple of years ago, the Soc Sec Admin admitted that ONE soc sec number had 273 names attached to it. They claimed they were helpless to do anything about it.
Payments for Earned Income Credits are going to illegals who file USA tax returns. From my experience as a bookkeeper for a company that produced farm products, I can attest to the fact that Illegals work in this country & claim exemptions for 'family members' who live in Mexiso-—which is also not legal.
How many of those Earned Income Credit payments are in the same structure?
With the advancement of computers, why cannot the 2,137 tax returns all filed from one address be caught?
Same for all those refunds going into the same bank account!!!
Something's rotten in our Federal government & the average citizen is tired of being taxed for such shenanigans.
It's 1931 in Berlin, and our name is Emmanuel Goldstein. We need to speak out loudly now more than ever. We own the Bill of Rights, not the budding tyrants.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is what a law enforcement officer is supposed to be. Definitely not one of those pretty boys who sit around with their feet up on their desk.
I gave money to JoePac a couple of times. They did produce some ads promoting and defending him, but the following is a postscript from email I got from Sheriff Joe on a request for help from him:
P.S.S. This is a legitimate request for support from my official reelection campaign. Any other solicitation you receive that does not include a "Paid for by Elect Sheriff Joe Arpaio" at the bottom is not connected with me in any way. Please be on the lookout for scams that may come your way. Again, thank you for your support.

Thanks montag813.
So, if we were to end welfare and give free (one-way bus) tickets for beautiful downtown Tijuana and Acapulco to the ghettoRATs and gangbangers, wouldn't that help our economy?
After all, turnabout is fair play.
Because, as is true of all bureaucRATs, the IRS is run by RATs.
Yes, Inverted Days, indeed. That's a good description for what I've been calling Bizarro World or upside down land...
Thank God for Sheriff Joe. The only one with guts, these Inverted Days.
That's right. JoePac produces radio and TV ads, and Re-Elect Arpaio is for direct mail and door-to-door activities. Not sure which will carry the day vs. the recall. I have given to both. The big concern is in a recall election, the RINOs in Maricopa can run another "Republican" against Joe, as they did w Russell Pearce, and perhaps fool just enough folks. Progressive site DailyKos is raising money now for the recall, btw.

If he falls we must presue the hamtlitoian strategy of rising again elsewhere. They can't possibly have enough money to keep us down everywhere.

Don't stop believing in even more 'The Revolution Was Televised' link-blogging
My improvised publicity blitz continues for "The Revolution Was Televised: The Cops, Crooks, Slingers and Slayers Who Changed TV Drama Forever," and here are the latest links, including one that I suspect will prompt more discussion here. (You can find all the review and interview links at AlanSepinwall.com, along with a FAQ, a list of links to all my online writing about the shows in the book, purchasing links to all the different formats, and more.)
On Tuesday, I was a guest on WNYC's "The Brian Lehrer Show" (with guest host Mike Pesca) yesterday. Here's the segment. And yesterday, I participated in a long Deadspin live-chat (which they accompanied with a very old Star-Ledger column photo that mainly makes me want to hit the gym).
But the discussion starter, I'm guessing, is the Slate excerpt from near the end of "The Sopranos" chapter, touching on both the averted fate of the missing Russian and Chase's motivations for making the final scene the way he did. (One thing that doesn't come up in the chapter, but that I've been asked about often enough to mention here: I explicitly asked Chase if he had read the Masters of Sopranos essay, describing it in a lot of detail, and he said, "I have not read that.") I've laid out my Tony Lives theory before, but never in as much detail as I do in the part of the book that Slate excerpted. I think this subject may be reaching Democrats/Republican territory where the two sides are getting too entrenched to make debate worth the trouble, but we can always give it one more try.
Onion rings. Journey. Go.
And, as always, if you have any questions about the book, you can either ask them in the comments here, or e-mail me at email@example.com.
robert_j._cervantesI'm of the school that our time with the Sopranos family was over. Nothing happened. He simply saw Meadow come in and that was it. There was never any indication or any noise leading to us to believe a bullet hit Tony. All the worrying of who's coming inside Holsten's was simply Tony being a high profile mob boss and wanted to know who is coming into his space. Nothing more, nothing less.December 6, 2012 at 11:08AM ESTReply to Comment
James (guest)Meadow opens the door, it rings, Tony looks up, and that's it. Nothing happens, he's with his family. Remember how AJ referenced the end of the first season, when they were all together in Vesuvio (remember the times that were good)? Tony shedding a tear after visiting Junior? Tony, evil as he is, does love his family, and to me, thats what the finale/closing scene was about.
When David Chase says its all there, he doesn't mean you need a frame by frame 10,000 word essay to figure it out.December 6, 2012 at 11:17AM ESTReply to Comment
BaconAndWafflesOkay, Alan, you win. I caved and bought your book. I had planned to wait till after finishing my embarassingly long back log of books, but you have been too successful of a media whore. Between Twitter and various podcats and web sites that I frequent, you are everywhere. Well done!December 6, 2012 at 11:28AM ESTReply to Comment
ahorwitt (guest)Alan! Loved the book. But, why no mention of the Chase/Belzer interview?
BELZER: I was working with Steve Schirripa recently. We were judging Last Comic Standing for NBC and we were talking about a lot of different things, obviously. And he was saying that he heard all these theories about the show that weren't, had nothing to do with what your intention was or what any of the actors thought. Like little hints along the way. Like a word. Like when Tony and Steve are on the boat at the lake and they say "you can never know it's gonna happen" or "you never know when it's gonna hit you."
CHASE: That was part of the ending.
BELZER: Oh, it was? You see, what do I know? Are there other things that were in previous episodes that were a hint towards it?
CHASE: There was that. And there was a shooting to which Silvio was a witness. Well, he wasn't a witness, he was eating dinner with a couple of hookers and some other guy who got hit and there was some visual stuff that went on there which sort of amplified Tony's remarks to Bacala about, you know, "you don't know it's happened" or "you won't know it happens when it hits you." That's about it.
I also don't think your point about the Sopranos' narrative "rules" and supposedly always playing fair is quite right. I recall from your recaps that you were annoyed with the S6 episode where Tony developed a gambling habit. You thought the show wasn't playing fair to give him this character trait so suddenly. But
Chase wanted to make some thematic points about risk and death, so he bent his narrative rules.
Same with the ending. If Chase wanted to creatively portray the abruptness and finality of death, I don't think he'd limit himself by saying "Oh, I've previously always showed the other characters hatching their plots, so I have to do the same now." I've been reading the new AVClub recaps this year and there is just so, so much there thematically about the approach of death (as you do acknowledge).December 6, 2012 at 11:56AM ESTReply to Comment
ahorwitt:crickets: Alan, I'm honestly asking why you didn't mention the Belzer interview in your chapter. Chase has only talked about the ending 3 or 4 times and the comments he made to Belzer are quite specific and unique. Did you have a reason for leaving them out, or did they just slip your mind?December 6, 2012 at 11:47PM EST
berzurcher (guest)This argument is fascinating for reasons outside of THE SOPRANOS. We could contend that Tony didn't die because we didn't see him die. We could content that Tony didn't die because THE SOPRANOS is a piece of fiction and Tony was never real in the first place, it's just JG reading Chase's lines.
That 20,000 word tome on the Death of Tony is incredible, but mostly gibberish. And Alan, your argument rests heavily on the simple belief that Chase wouldn't do something like kill off Tony with such abstract or oblique technique/timing. I am convinced that, on a strictly filmic level, the fictional Tony dies at the end of THE SOPRANOS -- simply because of the POV that Chase does an impressively unsubtle job establishing, that after the bell rings we switch to Tony's subjective POV. There are other reasons that seem thoroughly convincing -- the obvious GODFATHER reference built into the Members Only Guy being one.
But no argument can be as interesting as the questions that this finale raises about the role serialized fiction plays in our lives. Chase probably had no idea that he was elevating THE SOPRANOS to the sublime platform that it's on when he made that last scene. It was an artistic move. An ambiguous, challenging answer to the hordes of viewers who had come to love a killer. That some viewers believed that their cable cut out doesn't surprise me -- I was hardly old enough to watch the show when the finale aired. But the "revolution" that Alan seems to be talking about is partially rooted in the idea that these fictional figures and these ideas being communicated by Chase are *meant to stay with us when we're not watching*. The greatest ambition of THE SOPRANOS, above all else, was to make television that people would talk about like they might talk about a movie or a novel. There might be some unhealthy nostalgia creeping into this analysis, but Tony's fate is the less interesting discussion. Why, rather, do we continue to wonder? And isn't it fantastic that we do?December 6, 2012 at 12:38PM ESTReply to Comment
shma (guest)"I think this subject may be reaching Democrats/Republican territory where the two sides are getting too entrenched to make debate worth the trouble"
Judging by the comments from the Slate article, as well as elsewhere on the web, it seems that we have one side which has an extremely narrow and rigid viewpoint with no room for any other interpretation and another side which actually considers a wide variety of viewpoints valid and strives to make people understand that there are many plausible answers.
Discussing how accurate the above quote is in this context, unfortunately, would violate the No Politics rule.December 6, 2012 at 1:28PM ESTReply to Comment
Get SeriousWhich party do you think is which? (Don't answer that.)December 6, 2012 at 1:58PM EST
ahorwittFunny, but maybe it also resemble a different political dynamic -- the one where one side accepts that the evidence points toward humans causing climate change, and the other side digs in and says "but we don't know for sure!" (Just sayin'!)December 6, 2012 at 4:35PM EST
shmaAs if to prove my point beyond the shadow of a doubt, Tony's Ghost offers an exchange with the writer of the "Definitive Explanation" which perfect illustrates the close-minded and rigid personality of this group.
The guy can't even accept that Chase hasn't read his essay when given an explicit statement from the man himself.
I honestly couldn't make up a better example of what I'm talking about if I tried.December 6, 2012 at 8:57PM EST
why does it get you so angry that people who feel Ton y died are passionate about their position? Perhaps they feel strongly about it because they have mountains of evidence to back their argument? While the other side is basically "it's just ambiguous", that is not an interpretation because that doesn't interpret anything. I'm not sure why you are giving that Definitive explanation site so much criticism. The writer actually did the hard work.
And assuming the writer is telling the truth, Chase DID recognize the name of his site, so he got his own explicit statement and I believe it because it would be shocking to me that Chase never came across that site.December 6, 2012 at 10:14PM EST
sepinwallI didn't name the site. I said (paraphrasing), "Have you ever read that 20,000 word online essay that claims to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Tony died by analyzing every shot and edit of that scene, and every word you have said about it since the show ended?" And Chase said (and this is a direct quote), "I have not read that."December 6, 2012 at 10:49PM EST
First, who said I'm angry? Don't project emotions onto me. If anything, I find this intolerance for other viewpoints fascinating. Doubly so in that there is no opposite group of people insisting that TONY IS ALIVE is the only possible interpretation.
"While the other side is basically "it's just ambiguous", that is not an interpretation because that doesn't interpret anything."
A deliberately ambiguous ending is an artistic choice. And, like any other artistic choice, there is usually a purpose behind it. So yes, recognizing the ambiguity is an important part of interpreting the ending.
"And assuming the writer is telling the truth, Chase DID recognize the name of his site, so he got his own explicit statement and I believe it because it would be shocking to me that Chase never came across that site."
Is it possible for someone to have heard of an essay without having also read it? I only ask this rhetorical question because this seems to be a point of confusion for both you and the author of the Definitive Explanation. And I note amusingly that the implied alternative explanation, that no one here is lying, seems to have been immediately dismissed.December 7, 2012 at 1:37AM EST
KmarkoFor awhile, I was frustrated with Alan's refusal to acknowledge that David Chase's obvious intent was to have the final scene reflect Tony's death. It seemed so willfully obtuse not to concede the point. Now, it just makes me laugh, and not in a bad way. We all have our blind spots. (I'd say this might show an unwillingness on Alan's part to admit that he's wrong, but I think he truly believes what he's saying.)
Of course the last five minutes of a show can depart from its usual narrative strategy! St. Elsewhere typically didn't spend a lot of episodes shot in a snow globe, either. As to the idea that a mob boss would ever be "safe" from someone killing him…well, that's just silly.
So, yeah, the ending is actually quite obvious (you don't need that long essay, by the way, but for what it's worth, Bob Harris' similar piece is better). But that's OK. This keeps the conversation—and that great show!—in our heads longer than it might be otherwise.December 6, 2012 at 1:31PM ESTReply to Comment
Tony's Ghost (guest)I wrote this response on the AV club comments for their review of "The Second Coming". The second is cut and pasted from a poster claiming to the writer of the Master of Sopranos blog who had a back and forth with Alan at a site called "Press Play:
"I love Alan but his view on the meaning of the finale is just silly. If you read his write ups (like I did) for the final season, he wouldn't stop saying Tony would not die at the end. Then, right after the final aired, he gloated that he was right. Now, that people have actually analyzed the ending, it's clear (to most people at least) that Tony died. He is just being stubborn at this point.
He is also guilty of bad research. For instance he says that Chase has never explained the ending to anyone after his interview with Chase right after the final aired. He then fails to mention Chase's sort of explanation in the HBO book released after the show aired (his discussion about the Torciano hit) and the Richard Belzer interview from Chase where he explains the "never hear it" stuff. In both interviews, Chase has to do some verbal gymnastics to not actually say the words "Tony died!"
Then Sepinwall says Chase's "It's All There" remark could just mean "what you see is what you get" and does not actually mean "look carefully for clues." BUT he forgets to point out that Chase actually changed the quote to a British newspaper months later where he said: "IF you look at the final episode REALLY CAREFULLY, It's all there." Again, Chase's subsequent comment totally refutes Sepinwall's argument.
I love Alan and will read his re-caps until the day I die. But he is just being stubborn on this one."
MOS: Alan, I am the writer of the Master of Sopranos blog. You don't have to believe me, but I met Mr. Chase while he was in Manhattan filming "Not Fade Away" (the scene was filmed on West 26th st. between 6th and Broadway). I walked up to him and introduced myself as the writer of the the essay Definitive Explanation of the End. Chase shook my hand and playfully joked "that's the one that's like 40 pages." I'm sure you know my piece is partly famous for it's length so I do figure my site is what he was talking about. He would not discuss the ending more than "I just want people to know it wasn't a F-you". He nicely introduced me to a couple of members of his crew and said goodbye. So yes, I think he read it.
Alan: I was very specific in describing the thesis of your essay, the length, the arguments, etc., before asking if he had read it. He said, and I quote, "I have not read that."
MOS: Again, without telling him anything else about my piece except the title, his first reaction was to jokingly comment about its length. Unless there is another well known, gigantic essay on the ending, I stand by my belief that he read it. In 2008, I was also was able to get a smaller version of it (which I originally wrote on a popular but now mostly inactive sopranos fan site) to him through his good friend Allen Rucker who had previously wrote a hbo sopranos tie in book. In any event I suppose it's possible he was joking about some other mammoth essay but it's also possible he didn't want to get into talking about explaining the final scene with you. In any event, he wouldn't comment one way or the other about whether I was correct. Without prompting though he was quick to tell me it wasn't an f-u to the fans. To me that really showed me how much the fan reaction bothered him. By the way I bought the book on iBooks. Thanks for the shout out about my site. I'm really digging the book so far. It's very thorough.December 6, 2012 at 3:31PM ESTReply to Comment
BeekayzI'm probably missing something, but I don't understand why the fact that Chase knows that the essay is mega-long is proof that he read it?
Isn't it more likely that the essay has been mentioned to him by other people and in fan mail etc and when describing it people characteristically mentioned its length?
I mean, people don't need to have climbed the Empire State Building to know that it's tall.December 8, 2012 at 12:14AM EST
Scott (guest)When it first aired I thought Tony was killed and if anything I think I'm much more comfortable now in that opinion than I was back then.
Further, I always thought that Chase had a particular disdain for the segment of fans that had no interest whatsoever in his art and were only there for the bravado, blood and body count. So the way in which the series ended, quite literally "whacking" the audience immediately following some particularly gory scenes, struck me as brilliant and very much something Chase would do. When I realized that my TV hadn't crapped out and that was the actual ending I laughed out loud and smiled for what Chase did.
Also since the overlap between fans who were only there for the bravado, blood and body count and the fans who are really upset by the ending is quite strong I don't really think Chase cares all that much about the complaining, if anything it's probably a bit of a confirmation that he achieved his intended effect.December 6, 2012 at 3:32PM ESTReply to Comment
John (guest)Here's the problem with the "that's what Tony's life is like from here on out" theory: that was *already* Tony's life. He was nearly assassinated all the way back in Season 1. He was always jumpy, like that scene at the beginning of Season 2 when Big Pussy is out in his driveway, and Tony instinctively thinks he's in danger (because he just sees the car and a man getting out of it). I don't think Chase needed to make a point that he had already made and was fairly obvious (no way, a mob boss in danger?) anyway.
I find the counterarguments (the discussion with Bobby, the hit that Silvio witnessed, the Members Only Guy going to the bathroom, the bell rings-and-cut-to-Tony's-POV shots and the 10 seconds of darkness to be much more persuasive. It's ambiguous enough than Alan and others can continue to believe that Tony's alive if they want. But the evidence suggest that it's not that open for interpretation after all. Tony is dead. Either way, The Sopranos was one of the best shows in the history of television, and it had a finale to match.December 6, 2012 at 5:03PM ESTReply to Comment

Atta (guest)I also think Tony got whacked at the end. There are too many things pointing to the final shot being Tony's point of view right as he gets shot. A big nothing. Not hearing anything, not knowing what happened.December 6, 2012 at 8:56PM ESTReply to Comment
Mark (guest)I've never commented on this before, but I strongly believe Tony didn't get whacked at the end of the Sopranos. We did. We the viewers. We never saw it coming, we never knew it happened, it all went black. We "probably don't even hear it when it happens, right?" as Bobby's prescient comment foreshadowed. David Chase killed us off. I'm sure others have made this case, but it always seemed to me to be what happened. And with no evidence to support, just speculating, I think the 'members only' guy took us out. We are not the insiders, the members of that family (Sopranos, writers, directors, etc). Thanks for allowing the comment. I've read you Alan at the Star Ledger religiously back at Rutgers and try to following you wherever I am in the world. Keep writing!December 7, 2012 at 7:49AM ESTReply to Comment

Haik Mendelovich (guest)"The Sopranos: Definitive Explanation of 'The END'" is awfully persuasive, if a little too wordy.
The author makes a great case, using Chase's own writing and history (as well as some ancillary interviews) that Tony was shot in the head in front of his family.
Having said that, I still don't think the ending was fair to loyal viewers, at all. If Livia Soprano was right, and it's all a "big nothing", well that doesn't jibe with Tony and Chris' NDEs in previous episodes.December 7, 2012 at 6:32PM ESTReply to Comment
alphabetIt's Schrodinger's Cat.
Season 6 dove heavily into general quantum weirdness - alternate-reality Tony, the physicist in the hospital explaining that the two boxers on TV were part of the same quantum cloud, peyote-Tony at the roulette table, etc..
The truth of the ending is that all possibilities are alive in the room.
Every viewer is entitled to their own read; despite 'obvious' evidence one way or the other tho, anyone claiming to definitively know what happened is still speculating - confusing their own read with reality - and in doing so risk missing one of the true joys (and a potent thematic concern!) of this brilliant series.
Mathematically speaking, Tony is both alive AND dead. And since no one (save Chase) can ever open the box to obtain more data, he's likely to stay this way.December 8, 2012 at 1:10AM ESTReply to Comment

Hey guys! Just thought I would pop in and say hello!
Heather, I am very sorry for your loss. That is so rough. Weston never got to meet his papa. He passed away when I was about 4 mos pregnant with him. At least you know that he kissed your baby and saw him. that is a treasure!!
Weston is 10 days away from turning 1!! he is a little sweetheart, very curious and into evverything. not walking. He loves music and dances when he hears it.. even in the grocery store :) Aaron is still in love with him!
I hope to be able to post a pic of West on here but last time it wouldnt let me... heres to trying AGAIN ;)
Hi ladies!! Long time no talk.... well I just posted this on another board so I just copied it here for you to read. :(
Sad to say that after just a short 8 weeks I had a m/c and d&c yesterday. First let me give you some of my history. I had my DD on Jan 6 and she is amazing. It took YEARS and lots of heartache to get her here. I had 5 failed IUIs, 2 IVF rounds and 2 losses over 3 long years and then finally got my lil girl. She is just amazing and is 11 months old!
So fast forward to around Halloween this year. We got a babysitter, went out for a date night... had some wine and presto! I am pg!! Insanity. I was in shock. Is this how it works for the normal people in the world? Anyways... I panicked when I first took that test because with the IVF round that worked I was on baby aspirin and a steroid pill. I called them my baby glue pills since it was the one thing we tried different and it just was so easy and worked. My RE thought I had a clotting issue from my previous m/c history. Peed on the stick, call OB and he puts me on all my meds again just to be safe.
Beta was great at 181. Well at my 6 week 2 day u/s apt.... we dont see or hear a hb. I was measuring only about 5 weeks 6 days. Dr and I think nothing of it and he figures I am off on my days, ov late, etc. So I cam back a week later which should have been 6 weeks 6 days... we hear a hb but it is only 83bpm and I was measuring 6 weeks 1 day. My heart sinks. I knew what was coming. Dr was still holding hope. Well I went on Wednesday for another u/s and the hb was gone. There was also no more growth since the week before... I had also lost most of my sick pg feelings from the week before... so I knew well before Wed apt. I really knew deep down this was over.
I know I will never know but I think I needed to be on my pills well before getting pg. When we did IVF I started on them on day 1 of my shots... 3-4 weeks before I got on them this time. This was just such an amazing gift that I never expected to work for real and it did.
Taking it easy now and will be calling my fertility dr today to prevent another outcome like this from such a suprise amazing gift.
So we will be back on this board :) I do have one frozen lil bugger from the last IVF so not sure if we will try on our own agin or do an FET in early 2013. I guess that is what I will talk to the RE about.
Peaches -- So sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I had two of my own and know all too well the pain. My first was especially rough because I was in a situation like you and just couldn't understand why God would take a way such a miracle gift.
All that we go through, I believe, is training us for something better. Please keep hope that you are going through this for a reason.
Keep us posted on what happens with the RE.

We've all heard the adage "Show, don't tell." But in his latest book, To Show and Tell: The Craft of Literary Nonfiction (Free Press, 2013), Phillip Lopate argues that the personal essay is perhaps the one form in which it's not only permissible, but necessary, to do a little telling.

Believable, fully developed characters serve to engage readers and strengthen your stories. Choose a character from one of your stories-in-progress or imagine a character about whom you'd like to write. Compose a character sketch based on a day in the life of this character. Explore every detail of what this person does and why throughout one day. What are his or her morning rituals and routines? How does he or she go about choosing clothes? What does this person eat? What does the inside and outside of his or her car look like?

Write a Terza Rima, a poem of three-line stanzas in which the end-word of the second line in the first tercet establishes the rhyme for the first and third lines in the following tercet and so on. The poem can have as many stanzas as you'd like, and the rhyme scheme aba, bcb, cdc, ded, etc. continues through the final stanza.

In the age of Facebook and Twitter, some tenets of the personal essay—confession, self-reflection, and cultural investigation, to name a few—have made their way further into the digital mainstream. Some authors have even written entire books on Twitter. With this in mind, create a series of micro-essays using Twitter as a model. They might be slightly disconnected vignettes or they may work to create a larger, more cohesive story. Either way, keep each individual piece to 140 characters and maintain some form of narrative thread throughout.

In Writers Recommend, author Alix Ohlin writes: "When I'm in direst need of inspiration, I do what I call 'sentence stealing.' I find a sentence from a writer I admire and write it down. 'In the beginning I left messages in the street.' Or, 'Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.' Then I write my own version of the sentence, focusing only on its rhythms: by which I mean, replacing a noun with a noun, a verb with a verb.

Choose a word or phrase you find yourself saying often (e.g. like, totally, hate, really, kind of) and write a poem using it as much as possible, turning it over and over, repositioning it, extending it, playing with its uses and the parts of speech into which it can be shaped.

Cleary set to leave Solitude
Published 18/08/2007
Cliftonville midfielder Sean Cleary is on his way out of the club.
The former Ards man shocked manager Eddie Patterson when he handed in a transfer request at training on Thursday night.
The Reds have agreed to the request and now Cleary is expected to quit Solitude before the transfer window closes in a little less than two weeks time, but the club is adamant that he won't leave without a fee or a player-exchange deal being agreed.
Cleary joined Cliftonville two years ago when he was signed by former manager Liam Beckett, but never played a match under his charge before Beckett left following a disagreement with the club.
Injuries have curtailed his appearances and he will now seek a fresh start elsewhere.
He is unlikely to figure in today's north-Belfast derby against Crusaders at Seaview as the Reds attempt to make the final of the CIS Insurance Cup for the second season in succession.
While Cleary is heading for the Solitude exit door, Patterson remains in the hunt for a striker to bolster his attack and although the club this week turned down an offer for Vincent Sweeney from Newry City, saying that the player isn't for sale, that may change if there is a new arrival.

Apparently UCLA, who has been on the periphery of Potoae's recruitment, was looking to try and get the big DT on another visit this next weekend. But after an in-home visit with the Huskies, Sione was ready to call it a day.
"He walked into my office this morning and said, 'Coach, I'm sure,'" Miller recalled. "He said, 'I've done what I needed to do, but now it's over. Washington is the place for me.'"
So the two called up UW Running Backs Coach Joel Thomas, who is the Huskies' point man for the south sound. "He was pretty excited," Miller said of his quick chat with Thomas.
Calls made to Potoae this afternoon were not immediately returned, and we'll continue to try and reach out to him to get his thoughts on the end of his recruiting process. But it's not the end of his high school football. He will be playing in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl the second week of January in San Antonio, Tex.
Following the Army game, Potoae will take his final visit, to Washington, the weekend of January 15th.

WHITEHORSE, Yukon — Yahoo! News Canada reports that students at some high schools here now have the option to ride city buses instead of school buses for free.
The government of Yukon and the city of Whitehorse created a pilot project to give Whitehorse secondary school students access to free transit passes for the 2013-14 school year, according to a news release from the Yukon government. The release also stated that the access to passes is intended to give students another option for transportation if they stay late for after-school activities, and for getting to places other than home.
The transit passes were purchased by Yukon Education, at a discounted rate, from the city of Whitehorse.

My blogs are like Nintendo Power issues: More focus on Pokemon than any other game, even the ones I favor. So, why not do an analysis of the trailer? So here will be me guessing some hidden meanings from this game to get a general idea of what X and Y are like.
0:00-0:18- Okay, that is fucking adorable. A Pikachu with subtitles!
0:19-0:25- So we get a few locations there, but notice one thing: The directions of the characters moving. It looks like X and Y will stick with the 4 direction movement that's been a staple of Pokemon since the beginning. I know there's that platforming bit, but my money's on it being more automatic than Uncharted's. The way the camera moves points to this just being the character moving right in a more dynamic way. Still, it looks good. Really good.
We get a good look at the male character who looks almost exactly like the one used in the 5th gen games. There is also a short bit of the female character, who seems to be wearing red and has blonde hair. The angles they run at indicate this will not be an overhead angle, at least in parts, but behind the shoulder. I am very much in favor of that.
0:26-0:28- Hold it, hold it, hold it. That's the Eiffel Tower. A Pokemon version of the Eiffel Tower, but that's it. The city explored meanwhile has a very old time European feel to it, making me willing to bet that like how the last area was based on America and the ones before based on Japanese islands, this one will either be based on France, possibly with more European countries/cities being represented. That's cool, I'm expecting Pokemon with a somewhat French feel to them then.
0:29-0:30- That city looks pretty futuristic from where I'm standing. That along with the area explored points to this having the wide variety of locations that's been present since Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. The ones shown also look different than before, pointing to another solid list of locations. Hopefully the huge contrast between these areas points to a larger map than before.
0:31-0:41- We have the Grass starter Chespin! I like Chespin a lot, which is great as Grass is my usual starting type of choice. He seems to be modeled after some kind of furry rodent, I'm sure his name clues me in on which one specifically, but I can't tell really. What I love however, is how the battles play out. The effects look nice and he has a range of facial expressions.
Special note to when he attacks the big guy towards the end of his demonstration. The aura surrounding his attack points to this being a Dark or Ghost type move, which since his opponent (Golurk) is weak to both of those may point to a possible Ghost or Dark typing. This is especially notable because Golurk is also part Ground, meaning he would be weak to Grass as well. Could be nothing, but I think they did that for a reason.
0:42-0:49- Next up is Fennekin. Like Chespin, I like him a lot. He's probably my favorite of the starters. Looks like he could be modeled after a fox, though I'm not entirely sure. Like Chespin, he uses a fire move, and another type of move. Looks like it's possibly Psychic from the color, maybe he ends up being part Psychic? That could be an interesting turn of events if their secondary typings have the opposite relation as their first ones.
0:50-0:58- So we have the final starter Froakie, the frog Pokemon. Personally, I think he's the worst of them, but still not a bad Pokemon. In fact, this looks to be the best trio since Totodile/Cyndaquil/Chikorita. Anyways, his move either looks Normal or Fighting from its coloring. If Fighting, then this would round out the Dark/Psychic/Fighting theory perfectly. Of course, this is just guesswork now.
Another thing to note is that these are all older Pokemon across Gens 1, 3, 4, and 5, possibly pointing at less new Pokemon than before. I would welcome cherrypicking the best ideas while reusing old Pokemon from now on if that's true. The roster's big enough, we don't need a new bird, rodent, and bug you find in the first 10 minutes each gen.
0:59-1:01- A forest area and then an encounter with a wild Pikachu. Looks like this is a change with the new graphic style. As battles were more dynamic with the starter demonstrations, this seems to point that the camera will be constantly shifting and doing fancy things.
1:02- Looks like there will be overhead sections. Possibly indoor is overhead, outdoor is more dynamic? Either way, a lot of RPGs shift perspectives so I think it will be a very different look and feel in the map portions of this entry.
1:03-1:04- PSYDUCK!!! Who doesn't love Psyduck?
1:05-1:06- Interesting spider web. Possibly Bug Gym?
1:07-1:09- A Pokemon I hate hitting my beloved Dratini. Game Freak, that is cruel.
1:10- Looks like a rocket engine. Another possible Gym or Elite 4? Or maybe something more story related.
1:11-1:17- We get a glimpse of the new Legendary. Seems like part will be Flying. Not sure what the other is. Dragon, Fire, Psychic, and Dark all come to mind, though Dragon Legendaries are a bit overdone. Hope they pick something different.
1:18-1:24- Now that is a Pokemon that oozes class. It even looks like one of those Muskateer Pokemon from last gen. The typing looks vague, but at least part Psychic would be a good guess.
1:25-1:36- Look at the top Pokemon and the Y. I'm betting that's Y's Legendary. The claws and basic shape match the logo well. The bottom one meanwhile, seems to represent X. So based on this which would I get? Both of course!
I think from here on out, I'm going to do something I haven't done since the GBA Pokemon games: Go in blind. No scoping out which Pokemon will be available, I have my starters and Legendaries, I'm done looking at info. This is offically my most wanted game of 2013.

Police release more details in fatality: Vehicles swerved, collided in fatal Vt. crashMay 10,2013
ENOSBURG — Investigators say a crash that killed a Vermont teenager last month happened when the Jeep he was riding in tried to avoid an oncoming pickup, but ended up with both vehicles swerving and colliding.
Police say 53-year-old Patrick Prue of Franklin was driving the pickup in the Route 105 accident in Enosburg. Prue, who was not injured, was charged with driving while under the influence with death resulting.
Seventeen-year-old Brandon Gleason, the front passenger in the Jeep, died. He was a senior at Enosburg Falls High School and was the state's Mountain Division basketball player of the year this past season.
The Burlington Free Press reported that investigators say when the Jeep's driver swerved to avoid the crash, Prue also swerved back into his lane and struck the Jeep.MORE IN Vermont NewsRUTLAND The refugees are coming.

Every year Pullman's Chamber of Commerce holds a Fourth of July celebration in Sunnyside Park where families can enjoy food, live music, and of course, fireworks. But the chamber can't do it on their own, they still need about 50 more volunteers to sign up to help.
"Whether you volunteer for just a couple hours, we can use you the day of, there's all sorts of opportunities for volunteering and either way it's going to be a really great celebration," said Pullman Chamber of Commerce Event Coordinator Alexandria Anderson.
Volunteers can sign up to help make treats that will be sold at the event. They can sign up to sell food, drinks or merchandise, or a variety of other jobs.
The celebration starts at 5:00 p.m. on the fourth, and fireworks start around 10:00. If you're interested in helping out, call the chamber at 509-334-3565 or e-mail Event Coordinator Alexandria Anderson at email@example.com.
