Ms. Sue has passed away
Our beloved Ballet Mistress and Costume Mistress, Sue Perry Jordan has passed away.
Susan Perry Jordan, best known as Ms. Sue, passed away peacefully April 8, 2016, age 62, from cancer. Ms. Sue served the North Star Ballet as ballet mistress, principal teacher, and costumer from 1995 until her death.
Ms. Sue received her early ballet training from George Skibine and Marjorie Tallchief in Dallas, Texas. She danced professionally with the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater and Ruth Page's Chicago Ballet. From 1979-1986, she was a principal dancer with BalletMet in Columbus, Ohio, as well as directing BalletMet's education program and teaching for the BalletMet Academy. She also taught for the Irish National Ballet, Point Park College in Pittsburgh, Alaska Dance Theater in Anchorage, and the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival. Ms. Sue was well-versed in the art of theatrical costuming. She studied at the Columbus College of Art and Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology and worked at Parsons-Meares in New York City.
Over the past 21 years, Ms. Sue worked with North Star Ballet's faculty and staff to deliver the highest quality ballet training and performance to thousands of Interior Alaskan students and audience members. Ms. Sue regularly choreographed new works to showcase young dancers, including Four Carefree Capers, which was premiered during North Star Ballet's 2015 Spring Gala.
As an accomplished costumer with a trained eye for elegance and detail, Ms. Sue oversaw volunteers who made, modified, and maintained over 500 costumes for 48 ballets, as well as constructing many outstanding costumes herself. In 2015, she almost single-handedly made completely new costumes for the 15 Mice in The Nutcracker. Ms. Sue's extraordinary costuming work was shown in two very successful Fairbanks Arts Association exhibits in 2012 and 2013.
Any of Ms. Sue's past or present students will happily tell you that much of their understanding of ballet technique, as well as the discipline, confidence, ability to work as part of a team, and overall aesthetic awareness needed for success in dance– and in life–comes from their time in the studio with Ms. Sue. Her teaching style was rigorous but supportive, mixing high expectations with honesty, energy, humor, and compassion. She inspired and mentored her students both as dancers and as individuals.
Ms. Sue received the Interior Alaska Mayors' Award for the Arts in Youth Arts in 2015. In her acceptance, she said, "I am a very lucky woman…I followed my heart into a life and career that was meant to be…I am right where I'm supposed to be, doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing."
Ms. Sue is survived by Juniper and Puffin and by several hundred students. North Star Ballet will organize a memorial gathering in Fairbanks on August 6, 2016.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Ms. Sue Scholarship Fund at North Star Ballet, PO Box 73486, Fairbanks, AK 99707, or online at TheNorthStarBallet.org. Use the "Donate" Button on this page and in the "note" field state that your donation is for the Ms. Sue Scholarship Fund.
At her death, Ms. Sue's sewing room contained more than 120 pounds of unused fabric. She said, "that means I win!"
We will celebrate Ms. Sue's life on Saturday August 6 at Musher's Hall in Fairbanks. More information to come!

Long registration Forms and Its Impact on Conversion
Registration forms provide useful information about customers to businesses. The data they get through these forms helps them to build good targeted marketing decisions. In short registration forms are backbone of every business to understand their customers in a better way. But, what if the information is not proper or accurate? Are traditional customer registration forms provide data with full accuracy?
The answer is No! There are lots of reason why long registration process don't work and leads to poor conversion rate. In this article I will explain what are the impacts of long registration forms on conversion.
● Need to Register first before Purchase
Need to sign up or register before making purchase kills the momentum and makes the users leave website and tried for simpler alternatives. It is always advisable to allow users to purchase desirable products first then make them to register on your website.
● Long Registration forms
Nobody wants to waste time on filling long and frustrating registration forms. Users want easy and quick way of registration. If you ask them irrelevant questions that have no connection with the product they wish to buy, then they lose their patience and definitely leave your website. May be that questions are very important from your business point of view but for users they are nothing more than a headache.
● Need of another username and password
Creating a new account means need of remembering another username and password. No one likes to create new username and password and verify it. It takes lot of time. Remembering a password for single website is quite easy but for multiple websites it is too difficult. Most of the cases the user decides to leave such websites.
Now these are some problems that makes user to leave website before making the purchase. So what is the solution? Ask less Information?
Yes it is one of the way to avoid users to leave from website. Ask limited questions in your registration forms. But this leads to less user data. Without having enough data it is not possible for business to understand their customers. Therefore it is not a good choice to ask less questions. So what is the real solution?
This is a social age. Implement social sign in on your website. Now what is social sign in?
Social sign in lets your user to register themselves onto your website with their existing social media account. Advantages of social sign on are as follows:
- There is no need to create new username and password.
- Makes registration process simple and quick.
- Increase signup rates on your website.
- Highly reliable data is fetched through social sign on that can be used by marketers to create user oriented marketing strategies.
Social sign on is the best solution for all the above discussed problems. It has now become the first choice of every online marketers to increase their conversion rate. So these are some impact and their solution for long registration forms on conversion.

The Child and Youth Mental Health Service (CYMHS) provides specialist mental health services for Queensland children and young people up to 18 years of age with severe and/or complex mental health problems.
Our clinicians work collaboratively with children, families/carers and other service providers to provide integrated, individualised, and recovery-orientated treatment that improves the wellbeing of not only children and young people, but also their families and extended carer networks.
This is achieved through a combination of hospital and community based services, outreach programs, telepsychiatry (via videoconferencing), early intervention, forensic, and other specialist services and programs.
Who is eligible for our services?
CYMHS provides comprehensive assessment, treatment, and management for children and young people up to 18 years of age with severe and/or complex mental health conditions. These conditions may include depression, anxiety, suicidal or self-harming behaviour, eating disorders, psychosis, trauma, and significant interpersonal and relationship difficulties.
CYMHS typically treat children and young people where:
- the impact of their mental health poses significant difficulty or distress and negatively impacts on their daily functioning
- there are difficulties associated with abnormal reactions to life events, such as illness, separation, divorce, or bereavement.
Early intervention or other specialist CYMHS programs may be offered for children or young people who are engaging in substance use; are living with family members who have mental illness or substance abuse; have chronic illness or disability; or are in statutory care or contact with the law.
CYMHS does not typically see children and young people whose problems are solely related to educational difficulties or development delays.
Please note: any issues relating to child protection or safeguarding of a child must be immediately raised with the Department of Communities (Child Safety) independently of any referral to CYMHS.
How to access our services?
To access our services, referrals are generally made by a secondary source, such as a guidance officer, general practitioner, other health professional, to one of our CYMHS Community Clinics. Adolescents can also self-refer. Our community clinics have a comprehensive understanding of CYMHS services and other support agencies, and will ensure that all children and young people are offered the most appropriate service for their current circumstances.
Please contact your nearest community clinic for more information.

Big Pictures: Stocks, Gold And The Miners 0 comments
Ukraine war hype, China demand drop, GOFO mysteries… these are the short term noise inputs on the gold sector.
US Treasury bond yield spreads, gold vs. commodities (i.e. the 'real' price of gold), gold vs. the stock market… these are some of the fundamental considerations that actually matter and they have taken a hit since January.
It is easy to say 'I am bullish in the big picture' (measured in years) but it is not so easy to actively manage in the smaller pictures (measured in days, weeks and months) with all of the above noise inputs and more bombarding the poor individual player.
We use shorter term charts to manage the shorter time frames. Daily charts have most recently indicated a bearish set up as bear flags formed across the precious metals complex (with the exception of silver, which never got going to begin with) last week. Weekly charts continue to indicate that an extended and oh so grinding bottom may be forming, but that includes the potential for ups and downs, also known as volatility.
There is also a lot of noise lately in the stock market. The US stock bull celebrated its 5th birthday last month. The last 2 cycles (the manic phase of the secular bull ended 2000 and the cyclical bull ended 2007) were each approximately 5 years long. Today let's retreat to the calm of the long term monthly charts and get a snapshot of the big picture.
The S&P 500 has a measured target of around 2190 that we have had open as a possibility since the big breakout occurred in early 2013. A measured target is just that, a measurement; simple math. It is not a directive and therefore 2190 is not hype, it is just a possibility.
While we are seeing some shorter term signs that the S&P 500 may not make it to that target (at least pending a test of the big breakout) the chart does not lie. A breakout occurred off of a giant pattern that had its low 5 years ago. A 5 year cycle in the SPX could simply entail a decline to the breakout support. That would probably occur within the context of a mild cyclical bear market. Indeed, we will only manage such a potential decline for now rather than force other interpretations on the chart at this point.
Gold vs. the SPX appears to be boxed in above support and below resistance. Notably, Gold-SPX has not closed the 2008 'fear gap' as it has the 2010 Euro 'fear gap'…
Yet even in European market terms gold has some resistance to deal with.
Gold vs. stock market ratios are among several fundamental considerations (most of which are beyond the scope of this article) that must come in line for an investment case to form in the gold mining sector.
HUI (Gold Bugs index) vs. SPX is making a potential bottom at a valid support level. That bottom would not be confirmed however, until significant resistance noted on the chart is exceeded.
Nominal HUI seems really busy but in reality it is very simple. There is a potential bottoming pattern trying to make a higher low to 2008. This is what we have called a "grind" and it is doing its job on people only looking at shorter term views. Those looking at pictures like the above will be very interested to see if this bottoming process holds up or fails.
Again, we note that despite what the conspiracy detectives uncover to rationalize gold's smack downs, the fundamental backdrop (including everything from a weak 'real' price of gold to a strong US economy) has not been good. It will take routine check ups on these fundamentals and the technicals over much shorter time frames to ensure being positioned properly for the time when opportunity arises.
We are all human and part of being human is thinking like a human; thinking rational thoughts, having rational hopes and aspirations. But the markets eat that stuff for breakfast, puke it up and have it again for lunch. People simply have to learn how to be less like people and more like components of the market and always be in alignment with what the market decides.
Anyway, as often happens, I digress. On to our final chart, the Gold-Silver ratio (GSR).
This chart may bode ill for the precious metals sector in the short term, but a breakout in the GSR would most likely go hand in hand with major problems for global stock markets because GSR itself traditionally goes hand in hand with draining liquidity. That has made what has gone on with US stocks over the last couple of years somewhat of an anomaly.
Precious metals got destroyed, commodities go whacked and global markets varied. US stocks received the benefit of current inflation operations because Goldilocks applied deflationary pressure - which the GSR may well be indicating - to temporarily at least, offset these conditions. This pressure took the form of China's economic deceleration, ongoing deflationary issues in Europe and other drags on the global economy, in which the US participates.
In 2010 GSR declined impulsively with the Fed's QE2 hyper liquidity operation. Since 2011 it has ground higher, chewing up precious metals (and to a lesser degree, commodity) investors first and now, with a potential breakout in view, it may have stock market investors in its sights.
Now, will GSR break out? I don't have that answer. The answers I do have are that if it does break out to new recovery highs, stocks will be very vulnerable and that somewhere within the fallout, the gold sector should be among the first to recover.
Another possibility is that the hyper liquidity of 2010 (GSR down spike) simply evened out the hyper liquidity drainage of 2008 (GSR up spike) and now it will muddle along. So we might not necessarily expect dynamic events across markets in 2014. Those make great headlines, but we may simply be in line for more slugging it out between stock bulls and bears, and gold bugs vs. gold bears.
So now we return to our normal programming in managing daily and weekly views in an ongoing manner because while the big pictures are fun to look at (for we geeks, anyway), the signals will crop up on the shorter time frames. They are like quick little PT Boats where the monthlies are giant lumbering aircraft carriers. Okay, the post is now getting a little weird so we'll nip it here by simply asking you to consider a subscription to NFTRH if you would like a dedicated short term through long term guide as markets go through their processes.

Betrayal Aversion: Evidence from Brazil, China, Oman, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States
- (pp. 294-310)
AbstractDue to betrayal aversion, people take risks less willingly when the agent of uncertainty is another person rather than nature. Individuals in six countries (Brazil, China, Oman, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States) confronted a binary-choice trust game or a risky decision offering the same payoffs and probabilities. Risk acceptance was calibrated by asking individuals their "minimum acceptable probability" (MAP) for securing the high payoff that would make them willing to accept the risky rather than the sure payoff. People's MAPs are generally higher when another person, rather than nature, determines the outcome. This indicates betrayal aversion. (JEL C72, D81, Z13)

WEST NEW YORK - Members of the Venezuelan community gathered in Hudson County today to support protests in their homeland against the socialist government, which have recently turned violent.
College students have been leading the protests against the government of President Nicolas Maduro. They say they want not only democracy, but an end to high crime and high inflation. Eight people have been killed in the clashes.
Maduro has blamed the right wing opposition as well as the United States, claiming that diplomats used a visa program to meet with protesters about training and financing.
In Hudson County, Maduro's image is mocked on T-shirts and he's being compared to his ally, Fidel Castro in Cuba.
"These aren't just Venezuelans protesting. You've got Dominicans, Ecuadorians, Cubans all coming together," said Felix Roque, mayor of West New York. "You have a group of students trying to rebel against this dictatorship and it hits me at the heart. I came from Cuba because of the same reason."
Elizabeth Bautista, whose cousin was among the college students who was shot and survived, says the U.S. should not turn a blind eye to the violence.

Who has been discriminated against at work for being pregnant, having children etc..(17 Posts)
and done nothing about it???
I have, for sure. I e-mailed the Equality and Human Rights Commission and they agree but as it's over three months I can't do anything about it now but at the time I didn't feel that I could fight a battle about anyway.
I wonder how many others their are in the same situation?
Had this problem. Fought a little and got a pay off to leave. Didn't help that the employer had (and still has) an excellent reputation for flexible working arrangements etc. Very frustrating!
I got completely screwed on my maternity pay and holidays at my job in the UK. I complained and complained to my boss and he just kept putting me off. I was just too exhausted to take him to trial over it. Aroudn the same time his wife ran off with another man....so at least there was a bit of karmic justice.
Yes, I was too exhausted to fight too. I thought there would be more of us.
yes but long time ago now - 10 years. My union were crap as well.
In 2006 I was told by a major communications company that 'it would be sensible to decline the job offer' when I told a prospective employer that I was 9 weeks pregnant (discovered post interview and offer).
I wrote to the MD stating that I found this despicable. Their CEO called me up a few weeks later ... offering me freelance work.
I didn't pursue it legally as was worried it would be a black mark for my career overall.
Well, that's what happened to me aswell. I think that companies aim to prevent discrimnation claims by offering freelance work which may or may not come to fruition but obviously they are not then paying full maternity benefits or pensions and your rights as a worker are much more limited. After all like you say no one really wants a black mark against their name.

After all like you say no one really wants a black mark against their name.
not in terms of maternity but I have been discriminated against on the basis of my disability.
Was told that I would never be promoted as had disability, also team lunches etc were deliberately booked at places that were only driving distance, I was then told that in order to be allowed to go I would have to leave my guide dog behind in the office as it was unfair to expect people to take a dog in their cars.
I was sent emails by my team leader asking me to please do something about my dog as dogs smell and it wasn't fair to inflict that on people in the office.
Someone reported my manager to the equal opportunities rep who had a word and manager and me had a falling out over it. I didn't pursue it as I didn't want that against my name were I to go to another employer. I was looking for a job then anyway so when I got one I left. The day I left though manager brought in party food to celebrate.
She left to go and work for another company three months later and about three months after that she was fired I believe. Carma...
OMG wannaBe that is despicable ... she sounds like an utter disgrace
oh, and same manager was sued by another colleague who was discriminated against on the basis of her maternity leave. She left to go on maternity and when she came back manager had had her contract changed to state her only as a casual employee. Three months later there was a redundancy exercise and all casuals were got rid of.
She went to court and received a fairly hefty out of court settlement I believe.
dl this is the same company I referred to on your other thread. Large company, well known for their positive treatment of disabled employees...
In fairness though it was only that manager, I never had any issues with anyone else, in fact the director of the department gave me 4 weeks off on full pay to go and get my first guide dog. So it wasn't the company just the management they employed...
That's shocking!! I think it is often individuals that discriminate rather than organisations! I love guide dogs they are so well behaved!
well i was only a receptionist, working for a facilities co in a microsoft building, and they tried to sack me when i got pg. agreed to hours changes and then started 'proceedings' to discipline me for constant tardiness. er hello?
at the time my dp was in touch with some of the country's best emplyment lawyers, so i had a phone call with a lovely woman there and she helped me work out what i wanted to say. i went into the 'disciplinary meeting' alone to face a manager, his manager and someone else i think, cant remember. they laid out what they thought id done wrong and then i spoke... by the time i was finished they were absolutely bending over backwards to keep me sweet - i guess they hadnt reckoned on a lowly receptionist having a brain or balls to fight them.
it really fucking pissed me off that i had to go through the fight tho. even tho i kind of knew id be ok anyway, with or without their stupid job it made me angry that their response to a pregnancy was to create fictitious charges and sack her pronto.
Well done on standing up to them!! I was made redundant while on Maternity leave, yet my job still exists. They were just trying to replace me with someone cheaper.I took them to tribunal and won!!! Both claims - Unfair dismissal and Sex discrimination!!! More of us need to stand up for our rights or these employers will keep getting away with it!!
Overall my employer has been fine, the policy at work and mat package are pretty good.
Discrimination is definitely there though, just more subtle, and I don't know if I really have reason for being annoyed about it. Things like pulling me off projects (that are important for career development) because my manager doesn't want "to push" me while I'm pg (but not changing her mind when I tell her I am fine to keep the project on). This has happened with a few things.
Another eg is re promotion - her telling me that if I go for promotion when I return from mat leave, I won't be able to continue with flexible working (at the mo I work 8-4 and not a minute over, so I can be home for bedtime). She reckons that the more senior post requires overtime, and knows that I'm very clear about time boundaries at work.
So. these things do limit the extent to which I feel I can have a real future there. And because they are so vague, nothing on paper, I don't even know how I would do something about it..
I would be interesed to know what sort of payouts people have got. My wife (with a £28k PA posiiton) is 20 weeks pregnant and has just been told she is being made redundant. Her boss's reasoning - 'it makes commercial sense because you have no projects on now and we can't give you any more because you are pregnant'. And that is on record, said at the 'consultancy interview' for her impending redundancy.

Production of high-quality seed is the cornerstone of American agriculture. The specialized nature of the seed industry and the unique biology of seeds as life in suspended animation have given rise to seed biology as an important discipline. Seeds are vital as propagating units for the tree, landscape, flower, turf, vegetable, fruit, and agronomic crop industries. American seed companies are one of the significant agricultural industries benefiting from advances in seed research and increased student training. To serve these needs, The Ohio State University (OSU) Department of Horticulture and Crop Science has established an interdisciplinary Seed Biology Program because:
Research in seed biology is the foundation of plant science study. Important basic and applied research areas are 1) Seed production, 2) Seed quality, 3) Seed pathology, 4) Seed physiology/biochemistry, 5) Seed genetics/molecular biology, and 6) Weed seed ecology. These research areas serve as the focus of the OSU Seed Biology Program.
Seed biology is an interdisciplinary program which complements most aspects of plant science study. At OSU, faculty from the Departments of Horticulture and Crop Science, Plant Pathology, Plant Biology, and the School of Natural Resources study seeds and their performance. The integration of these basic and applied disciplines results in breadth in student training and comprehensive research programs.
Seed biology is an important component of international programs in agriculture. A first step in establishing a successful agricultural program in developing countries is to provide growers high-quality seed of superior varieties in sufficient quantity and at reasonable cost. Faculty in the OSU Seed Biology Program have collaborated with or participated in seed development projects in such countries as China, India, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Sudan, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Colombia, Mexico, Uganda, and Poland. The OSU Seed Biology Program affords a unique opportunity for national and international outreach, workshops, and training programs.

Results tagged ' Kerry Wood '
1000 Words: Number one fan
Kerry Wood steps off the Wrigley Field pitcher's mound for the final time after striking out the White Sox's Dayan Viciedo on three pitches. As he walked toward the dugout to a standing ovation, his son, Justin, ran out to embrace him.
"My favorite memory and probably my best memory of the 14 years was yesterday walking off the field and having Justin run out and meet me," Wood said on Saturday. "You can't beat that. I wasn't expecting it. I knew he might be in the dugout, but I did not expect him to run out and hug me. And he didn't want to let go. You can't put anything above that."

Kid K walks away
Chicago Cubs right-hander Kerry Wood formally announced his retirement from baseball today at Wrigley Field with his family by his side, ending a 14-season big league career.
Originally selected by the Cubs with the fourth overall pick in the 1995 draft, Wood pitched 16 years in the organization, including his first 14 seasons. He retires with the third-most strikeouts in team history (1,470) and as only the fourth pitcher to spend 12 or more seasons with the franchise, joining Charlie Root (16 seasons), Guy Bush (12) and Rick Reuschel (12).
The 34-year-old Wood walks away with a career 86-75 record, 63 saves, 1,582 strikeouts and a 3.67 ERA (563 ER/1380.0) in 446 major league appearances (178 starts). He averaged 10.32 strikeouts per nine innings in his career, the second-highest total of any pitcher in major league history, behind only Randy Johnson's 10.61 mark (minimum 1,300 innings pitched).
On a perfect, sunny day at Wrigley, Wood stood at a podium in front of home plate and thanked his family, teammates, coaches and colleagues. Here are some highlights from the ceremony:
"I'm excited for the future, and I'm excited to watch what these guys are going to be capable of doing. These guys are starting the journey I'm ending today, and I'm looking forward to watching these guys grow and learn this game and ultimately bring a championship to the city that deserves it."
"I just love the city, love the atmosphere. I love the attitude of the people, love just everything about it. I'm a kid from Texas who showed up here at 17 or 18 years old and white-knuckled the cab ride all the way to the stadium from the airport. I just never thought I'd be able to do it. The place grows on you, and I just love everything about it."
"I didn't have to try to crank this thing up today and come in and stretch or do anything like that. I got to watch a little league game this morning and loved every minute of it."
"You know when it's time. The body was telling me and obviously the results were telling me. So I've got no regrets. I played this game as long as I could and as hard as I could. And I'm fine saying that."
"This is home. This is why I came back. The fans, this stadium. Yesterday was the best weather day we had. This place was beautiful and rocking. That's the way I want to remember Wrigley Field, and that's the way I will remember it."
Cubs place Wood on DL, recall Maine from Triple-A Iowa
Chicago – The Cubs placed right-handed pitcher Kerry Wood on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to April 14) with right shoulder fatigue and recalled left-handed pitcher Scott Maine from Triple-A Iowa.
Maine, 27, is 1-0 with one save and a 1.42 ERA (1 ER/6.1 IP) in five relief appearances at Iowa this season. He made his major league debut in 2010 and has a 4.95 ERA (11 ER/20.0 IP) in 20 major league relief appearances over the last two seasons with the Cubs.
At Triple-A Iowa last year, Maine went 3-4 with 12 saves and a 3.68 ERA in 38 relief outings (51.1 innings). He struck out 72 batters and walked only 25.
Wood is 0-1 with an 11.57 ERA (3 ER/2.1 IP) in four relief appearances this season. He last pitched on April 13 in St. Louis, retiring the lone batter he faced.
Mesa Cubscast: Goals for 2012
Mesa Cubscast: The lighter side of the Cubs
MESA, Ariz.–The Cubs have been working hard every day since they arrived in Mesa–on Thursday, manager Dale Sveum called the team's effort "tremendous"–but they're also building team chemistry and having fun. When you put 64 competitive athletes together in tight quarters, things are likely to get interesting.
1000 Words: Friendly competition
MESA, Ariz.–Cubs manager Dale Sveum celebrates his win over pitcher Kerry Wood in the first round of the Spring Training bunting tournament. The competition has served as a good icebreaker for the team and helped solidify a necessary fundamental. But it's also stoking the players' (and the manager's) competitive fire. (Photo by Stephen Green)
Cactus Notes: Sveum edges Wood in bunting competition
MESA, Ariz.–It was like a heavyweight fight: two evenly matched competitors slugging away at each other. But when the final round of Monday's bunting competition was over, only new manager Dale Sveum was left standing.
In a back-and-forth battle between Sveum and right-hander Kerry Wood, Sveum advanced through the first round only after Wood's final bunt edged into the 20-point box, instead of the 40-point box Wood needed for the victory.
"I got lucky by the way the grass was growing to the east," Sveum said. "The ball kind of fell off the white line. I thought I was done, and I was going to shake his hand, and the ball just trickled off the white line at the end."
This spring, Sveum created a NCAA tourney-style bracket, pitting 62 Cubs players and two coaches against each other in a bunting competition. Chalk lines have been drawn on one of the infields at Fitch Park, and different point totals are awarded depending on where the ball lands. Each competitor gets 24 pitches over three rounds and is required to bunt 12 to the first base side and 12 to the third base side.
This was the final first-round draw, with the exception of the matchup between Paul Maholm and Rodrigo Lopez. Their contest has been postponed while Maholm recovers from the flu. Carlos Marmol, Marlon Byrd, Ryan Dempster, Geovany Soto, David Dejesus and Jeff Baker also advanced on Monday.
"It's a fun thing, but also a lot of people really want to get better and care about it," Sveum said. "Sacrifice bunting is something that's very important to the game, and it's kind of been lost a little over the years.
"You get a feeling of guys who are bearing down and competing, and some guys who aren't competing as well. You get to know somebody a little bit through this tournament."
Cactus Notes: Injury updates
MESA, Ariz.–New Cubs pitcher Paul Maholm threw a side session on Monday but was sent home afterward, as he is still recovering from the flu. Although Maholm was slated to compete against Rodrigo Lopez in the Cubs bunting competition this afternoon, their matchup was postponed by manager Dale Sveum.
"I think he got a little sick–a little lightheaded–and is still a little dehydrated from being sick," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said.
Shortstop Starlin Castro showed no ill effects after being hit in the forearm by a fastball from pitcher Kerry Wood during live batting practice on Monday. Castro, who was immediately examined by assistant trainer Ed Halbur, stepped back in against Wood later in the round and participated in all other drills throughout the day.
"He's fine," Sveum said. "I wasn't there to witness it. It sounded a little more scary, but he's fine. He stepped right in and did all his drills after that. It was almost like he didn't get hit."
Now Playing: 2012 Cubs Convention
From Jan. 13-15, Cubs fans of all ages gathered at the Hilton Chicago to warm up the winter and mingle with more than 70 Cubs players, coaches and front office personnel at the sold-out 27th annual Cubs Convention. Vine Line was there the whole weekend to document all the happenings, including Kerry Wood's triumphant return, the Ron Santo Hall of Fame Panel and all the new Wrigley Field news. Get ready for the season and check out the sights and sounds of the 2012 Cubs Convention.
1000 Words: Welcome Back
Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts and his siblings welcome right-handed reliever Kerry Wood back into the fold at the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Cubs Convention. The packed house at the Hilton Grand Ballroom greeted the news of Wood's one-year deal with a thunderous ovation and chants of "Kerry, Kerry." (Photo by Stephen Green)


text:
- A world with overly simple rules and internal logic entered by somebody from an Earth-like world. These works are more prone to humor as the native inhabitants fail to understand or loudly disbelieve things which would be obvious to normal humans.
- A world which has an alien set of physical laws (or somebody from it), that then interacts with an earth-like world. Type II worlds are almost always in the horror genre. Visitors from these worlds are often either The Fair Folk or Eldritch Abominations.
- There must be two independent worlds.
- Something must cross from one world to the other.
- The "laws" of the invading world must work in the invaded world. (for example if a mage comes from magical world A to mundane world B, it only becomes this trope if the mage can cast magic in the mundane world where magic is normally impossible)
Simple worlds invaded by "real world" elements
open/close all folders
- In Pleasantville, the protagonists are highschool students from our world who enter the world of a 1950s TV serial entirely in black and white, in which everything is excessively pleasant (as well as lacking colour there is no rain, crime, homelessness, fire, sex or toilets). Throughout the film their actions impact the world around them and colours and concepts from the real world (like fire, sex, colour and rain) start to appear as a result.
- In Flatland, A Square is visited by a sphere from the mysterious dimension of "up" and interacts with the strange world of the third dimension. A sphere manifests as a circle that grows and shrinks, able to bypass all flatlander doors and walls and even touch "inside" a flatlander. The protagonist eventually learns to think multi-dimensionally and is considered insane by most.
- Erfworld: The world's rules reflect those of a traditional turn-based tabletop game. For example, terrain is divided into hexes and units can only move a certain number of spaces each turn.
- The protagonist is from Earth. He experiments with the physical laws of the world in an effort to better understand the rules of the game and attempts to cheat with them (even without cheating, mastering the system makes him a tactical genius). He also appears to have several interesting and unique properties that are a hold-over from reality (such as a lack of visible stats, blood, and the ability to get distracted and forget direct orders).
Earth-like worlds invaded by alien elements
Fan Works
- In The Conversion Bureau, Equestria has been transplanted to Earth in the future, not too far off the shore of the USA, by forces unknown. Its magical field is slowly expanding to cover the planet. The field purifies any air, soil, water, plant life, etc within. Unfortunately, the magic is fatal to humans and the expansion is beyond the power of the Princesses to stop. A special potion is devised to transform humans into ponies, changing their bodies while preserving their minds and souls, to let them survive. This is what happens at the eponymous bureaus. In spite of technological advances, Earth is presented as an Earth That Used to Be Better, with deliberate implication by the author that some event between the present day and the fic's time left a lingering effect that causes much of humanity to essentially act smoozed. Ponification undoes this, often causing the transformed to feel very chipper.
- The Disc World/The Lord of the Rings Crossover fic Policing the Fellowship has Samuel Vimes accompany the Fellowship of the Ring. Over the course of the story, the fellowship characters start acting like Discworldian archetypes of themselves (Aragorn starts acting like an Upper-Class Twit, the various nobility the group encounters become much more cynical, etc).
- Jumanji: The flora and fauna of Jumanji that invades the "real world" is able to do things that would be impossible for real life equivalents (monkeys that can ride a motorcycle, plants that can grow incredibly quickly, a Pelican that can fly the board game without trouble etc...)
- Last Action Hero is a quasi-example. On the one hand, when an action hero crosses over from the world of movies into the real world, he nearly dies from a gun shot he'd normally shrug off as Just a Flesh Wound; similarly, a villain who makes the same leap is delighted to discover that in the real world the bad guy winning is actually possible. However, when Death crosses over into reality from the movie world, he's still able to kill people just by touching them. We also see that, when the movie hero shoots the movie villain in his cybernetic eye, it causes a ridiculously huge explosion, even when they're both in the real world. It could be said to be somewhat consistent since only supernatural or futuristic elements kept their original properties.
- My Little Pony: Equestria Girls Friendship Games: After Human Twilight's device absorbs the magic of the portal, it starts tearing open portals between the human world and Equestria whenever it is opened. When Twilight transforms into Midnight Sparkle, she starts ripping holes to Equestria, not caring that she's destroying her own world in the process.
- In the Doctor Who Missing Adventures novel Millenial Rites, our universe gets merged with both the one that preceded it and the one that will follow it, becoming a trifold realm being slowly torn apart by its three mutually-conflicting sets of physical laws. London becomes known as the Great Kingdom, ruled by the gods the Great Intelligence (AKA Yog-Sothoth, of the Pre-Universe), Saraquazel (of the Post-Universe)... and Lady TARDIS (of... guess where). Of note: none of the three planned this, and only the Great Intelligence is at all pleased with the results.
- The stories of H.P. Lovecraft often involve aliens that dwell in more than the traditional three dimensions and who occasionally interact with Earth. The twisting of logic and geometries involved by interacting with these alien space gods usually drives people mad as they are unable to comprehend them.
- Isaac Asimov's The Gods Themselves is a story based around a new form of energy that arises when people discover how to exchange matter between parallel universes. The protagonist slowly realises that as they exchange matter between worlds some of the cosmological constants also change very slightly, but with potentially apocalyptic consequences.
- In the backstory The Witcher, the Conjunction of the Spheres was an event where a bunch of dimensions intersected at the same time and dumped several unnatural things into the world, including monsters, magic, humans in flying metal airships, and elves, unfortunate for the planets original inhabitants: dwarves.
Live Action TV
- In Fringe, the space-time continuum is breaking down due to contact between the two universes, which are implied to have slightly different physical laws (the show is inconsistent on that point, though). Interesting as the bleed appears to be two-way.
- There's an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where aliens from another universe with very different physical laws invades the regular Star Trek universe, and start running experiments on the Enterprise crew. Somehow they manage to create some sort of temporary environment where the laws of physics allow inhabitants from both universes to co-exist, but normal parameters within that universe do pretty crazy things to people's body chemistry.
- In Uzumaki, the inhabitants of a small fairly isolated town begin to notice a repeating spiral pattern that manifests in a number of disturbing ways. People, objects, plants, galaxies, space and time eventually twist into a spiral shape drawing the inhabitants in. The closing scenes show the spiral world below and the narration suggests that this spiral world invades the mundane on a regular basis, leaving only ruins behind when things return to normal.
- Background material on the Nasuverse speaks of Type Mercury, the avatar of Planet Mercury, which crash landed in a South American rainforest in 5000 BC after answering Gaia's call prematurelynote . Mercury's crash site has since transformed into a "Crystal Valley" filled with beautiful yet horrifying crystal spires. This is a replication of planet Mercury's environment, and Type Mercury's mere presence has turned that patch of Earth into a patch of Mercury. It is said that its full force is activated by Type Mercury's movement, which means wherever it goes, it will leave a trail of Mercurian crystal.
Tabletop Games
- The Realm of Chaos in both Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000: a mirror universe with physical laws vastly different from our own. Wizards/Psykers can tap the Realm of Chaos for power, but they risk physical mutation and insanity; and if for any reason the boundaries between universes are weakened, the results are always nasty and horrifying in the extreme.
- In the storyline of Magic: The Gathering, the Phyrexians invaded Dominaria by merging it with an already-conquered plane called Rath. Dominaria was warped to incorporate locations and inhabitants from Rath (including the Phyrexian army), sometimes warping individual creatures or structures into hybrids combining both planes.
- The Witch Craft supplement "Armagedon" is described as having elements of this in areas that are captured by the enemy, such areas are changed radically into something alien and inhospitable to normal life as we know it. Victims end up fused together in collective masses of flesh and otherwise twisted beyond all recognition.
- The game TORG is explicitly this trope, in which Earth is invaded by a number of other worlds that each have their own genre-like set of laws (which are spelled out in detail for each area, so in the pre-historic themed North America technology does not work and groups of people devolve into small tribes, whilst in the Pulp themed Middle-East people people drift into stereotypes, their allegiances become easily changeable and good triumphs over evil). The playable characters are those rare individuals who are able to carry their own native laws of physics around with them and exercise them against others.
- Shadowrun has an element of this when magic (re-)enters the world, changing the limitations of what is possible.
- Dark Conspiracy. Parts of the U.S. have been taken over by Dark Minions invading through portals from their home dimensions. These areas are known as "Demonground", and they're filled with the corruption flowing from the portals. Common elements include bizarre vegetation and weird organic tunnels.
- Witch Hunter: The Invisible World. Hellpoints are direct doorways to Hell itself. The areas around them are filled with malign influence and evil creatures. Demons may easily enter the world at these places.
Video Games
- Corpse Party takes this trope to extreme lengths. The protagonists are trapped in what are mentioned "closed spaces layered over closed spaces." In each chapter, the main characters you play as are all in the same school but a different rendition of it, with events taking place before or after each other that seep into the others' dimensions. Best example is how Ayumi leaves candles for others that act as a Save Point after she and Yoshiki look for Seiko when she screams...yet when you play as Naomi and Seiko in Chapter 1, the candles were already there.
- In The Longest Journey, the technological world of Stark and the magical Arcadia are usually well-insulated from each other. However, when the Balance between them begins to falter in the beginning of the game, weird stuff begins to happen in both worlds, such as a TV show about rainforests transporting the viewers into an actual rainforest, or a handheld calculator trapping a mage tampering with it inside.
- In most of the plot of Wild ARMs 2, the source of conflict was an "encroaching Alternate Universe." The only way to fight this was through a LOT of magic and plot twists that temporarily gave it physical form.
- Shadow Warrior 2 sees the Shadow Realm of the first game merging with the human world as a result of Lo Wang's actions in the first game, with the wildlands constantly changing, creating a strange and savage new order where humans and demons live side by side.
Western Animation
- In Gravity Falls, the most dire discovery made by the Author of the Journals is that Bill Cipher has been planning to merge the Nightmare Realm with the physical world in order to turn it into a nightmarish World of Chaos for him and the rest of the dream demons to invade and rule as their personal playground. After Bill successfully unleashes Weirdmageddon upon Gravity Falls in the finale, Dipper must find and rally his allies to fight back and liberate the town before Bill can spread his influence throughout the entire universe.
