Conservative media issued catastrophic predictions and myths about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2014, despite ample evidence that the health care law is working. Media Matters looks back at six claims about Obamacare that didn't pan out for the right-wing media this year.
The Sunday broadcast political shows overwhelmingly ignored the omnibus spending bill's rollback of key regulations on Wall Street and campaign finance. Only ABC's This Week covered the provisions, which come at a time when the financial services industry and large donors are playing an increasingly outsized role in elections.
Congress' controversial $1.1 trillion spending bill to avoid a government shutdown took several days of debate to pass in the Senate and barely passed through the House of Representatives, due to the inclusion of provisions "easing rules on campaign finance and the banking industry," as NPR explained.
The deal reverses a requirement of 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform, allowing banks to "place both standard accounts and accounts that handle riskier derivative trades under the protection of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp." The provision was drafted by Citigroup bank and provides a major benefit to big banks that allows riskier trades and transfers accountability for banks' failures -- and potentially future financial crises -- onto the government and taxpayers. The bill also rolls back campaign finance regulations, dramatically increasing the limit wealthy individuals may donate to national political parties.
This erosion of key Wall Street and campaign finance regulations was all but ignored on the broadcast Sunday political talk shows. Neither NBC's Meet The Press, CBS's Face The Nation, nor Fox Broadcasting Company's Fox News Sunday acknowledged the controversial provisions in their discussion of the spending bill, glossing over the specific rollback of regulations in favor of general discussions on inner-party divisions on the vote. Only ABC's This Week highlighted the provisions. Host Martha Raddatz explained how the bill "dramatically ease[s] restrictions on the amount of cash individuals can donate to campaigns," while a later panel discussion emphasized the rollback of Wall Street regulations.
The shows' failure to cover the rollback of banking regulations and systematic erosion of campaign finance comes at a time when dark money, large donors, and outside spending are playing an increasingly outsized roll in elections and the financial services sector -- the very industry which drafted and stands to benefit from the Dodd-Frank reversal -- is already outspending all other industries in midterm elections.
White guests greatly outnumbered all other guests on Fox News Sunday's November 30 segments on civil rights protests in Ferguson, MO, and the resignation of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. CBS' Sunday morning political talk show had a small majority of white guests during similar segments, while ABC's and NBC's shows were more ethnically diverse.
From the November 30 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday:

Fox News Sunday ignored a new report from the GOP-led House Intelligence Committee that debunked many of the myths that Fox News has spent the last two years promoting.
On November 21, the Republican-led House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released its report on the September 2012 attacks on two U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya. Similar to the many preceding investigations into the attacks -- including the Accountability Review Board and the bipartisan U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence -- the report found that no stand down order was issued during the attacks, there was no intelligence failure leading up to the attack, and that the talking points the administration used in the days following the attacks were based on the CIA's best assessment at the time.
The November 23 edition of Fox News Sunday did not inform viewers of the report's findings. This stands in stark contrast to Fox's longstanding campaign to promote myths about the attacks.
Fox has been a tireless promoter of nearly every facet of the Benghazi hoax. In the 20 months following the attacks, Fox ran over 1,100 segments on Benghazi and hosted Republicans at a rate of 30:1 over Democrats to discuss the issue. Meanwhile, the network has routinely ignored and downplayed evidence refuting its conspiracy theories.
CNN media critic Brian Stelter noted that other Fox programs only provided cursory coverage of the report on the night of its release and that Fox never mentioned it the following day. According to Stelter (emphasis added):
STELTER: Boy, has Fox News spent a lot of time over the past two years focused on the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, and I mean a lot of time. [...] But when a new Benghazi report came out on Friday, there was hardly a peep, and maybe that's because the report, which was Republican led, it was by the House Intelligence committee, debunks many of the myths that have run rampant on Fox News and in conservative media circles. [...] So I have to wonder: will Fox will stop aggressively pushing its theories about Benghazi? Probably not. With its audience largely in the dark about the latest findings, the myths may, and perhaps will, live on.
On the November 23 edition of Fox News' own MediaBuzz, host Howard Kurtz noted that it only received "brief" coverage on Fox and that the results of the two-year long investigation "deserved more coverage from all news outlets."
Sunday morning political talk shows on ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox devoted just 30 seconds of coverage to net neutrality the week after President Obama called on the Federal Communications Commission to require Internet service providers to treat all content equally. Those same programs dedicated nearly 17 minutes to helping scandalize comments made by Jonathan Gruber, an economist who helped estimate the impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Fox News Sunday hosted Karl Rove to analyze Senate midterm elections without disclosing his role with political organizations that have spent millions of dollars supporting Republican candidates in those races.
On the October 12 edition of Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace was joined by Rove and Democratic strategist Joe Trippi to discuss "the hottest races" in 2014. While Rove was introduced as "the architect of George W. Bush's two presidential victories" and described in on-screen text as a "former Bush White House advisor," no mention was made of his current political activities or affiliations. Rove commented on three Senate races in which his political groups have made a significant financial investment. Rove said he believed Republican Joni Ernst would win in Iowa because she had "united the party," claimed that voters in North Carolina would reject Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan because it's the only way to "send a message to Obama," and praised Alaska Republican candidate Dan Sullivan's energy policy.
Rove co-founded and advises two political organizations, American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, that have spent nearly $8 million dollars against Democratic candidates in the Alaska, Iowa, and North Carolina races, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Rove's political network poured more than $4.5 million in additional spending into those races in support of the Republican candidates.
American Crossroads has also received $300,000 from Dan Sullivan's parents. Sullivan's father reportedly "doesn't know with certainty that the funds will be spent on his son's race," telling Bloomberg News, "That will be up to the discretion of Karl Rove."
This is the second time in four weeks that the program has allowed Rove to provide election analysis without noting his role in attempting to influence those same races.
Later in the broadcast, Fox contributor Carly Fiorina predicted that Ernst and Cory Gardner, the Republican candidate for Senate in Colorado, would win, praising the candidates for "very clear platforms about what they think the priorities of this nation should be." Neither Fiorina nor Wallace noted that Fiorina heads the Unlocking Potential PAC, which has spent nearly $150,000 in support of the Ernst and Gardner campaigns.
Here is the full segment featuring Rove:

The Washington Post debunked a right-wing conspiracy theory promoted by Fox News tying the crash of former IRS official Lois Lerner's computer to a letter the IRS received from the House Ways and Means committee 10 days earlier. The Post pointed out that the letter addressed a different subject than the controversy linked to Lerner.
Media responded to the news that the Obama administration secured the release of prisoner of war (POW) Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl from the Taliban by parsing whether or not the administration violated longstanding policy by negotiating Bergdahl's release. In reality, experts say the U.S. has a long history of such negotiations, and Bergdahl's release was conducted using an intermediary nation.
Fox News figures often suggest that historical shifts in the global climate somehow disprove the notion that human-driven climate change is threatening our way of life. However, the past transformations of the global climate -- and the mass extinctions that accompanied them -- actually give good reason to worry.
On May 11, Senator and potential presidential candidate Marco Rubio (R-FL) picked up a talking point that is often made on Fox News to dismiss climate change, suggesting that because "[o]ur climate is always changing" we should not worry about man-made climate change.
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson debunked this suggestion in an episode of FOX Broadcasting Network's Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey that explored large shifts in the global climate that occurred prior to human civilization. In that episode, Tyson concluded: "We are dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at a rate the Earth hasn't seen since the great climate catastrophes of the past -- the ones that led to mass extinctions." Watch the difference between the political games of Fox News and the credible science touted by its sister channel, the FOX Broadcasting Network:
It is a logical fallacy to argue that because climate change has occurred naturally in the past, it cannot change unnaturally now. Skeptical Science analogized it to arguing that because people have died of natural causes, they cannot be murdered.

Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 11/9/12
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has saluted the all-round play of the team's "talisman" Robin van Persie. Holland frontman Van Persie has demonstrated his clinical touch in United's past two outings, producing an expertly-taken strike in the 2-1 Barclays Premier League win against his former club Arsenal at Old Trafford on Saturday, and another in Wednesday's 3-1 Champions League victory in Braga. Those goals have taken his tally to 11 in 14 matches in all competitions for the Red Devils following his summer move from the Gunners and Rooney has no doubt he is playing alongside a "great finisher". The England international has also been keen to stress, though, that there is much more to Van Persie's game than just goals, praising his ability to hold up the ball and bring his team-mates into play. "Of course, everyone knows he's a fantastic player and he's got a calmness about him," Rooney said. "I think he's great for the whole team. "He's a talisman and if you can get p...

A Real-Life Post: Babies and Adoption!
My husband and I have just made the official announcement to our friends and families, and I wanted to share the exciting news here as well.
We are currently in the process of adopting our first child!
Though there are no guarantees with these things, we hope to have a new addition to our family by this time next year, and I look forward to sharing adorable pictures when I can.
We made the decision to adopt back in August, and since then have noticed some continuity in the questions people ask, so here are some…
Domestic or International?
There are certainly valid arguments for adopting both domestically and internationally. Jesse and I have chosen to adopt domestically, right here in Washington state.
Private or Public?
Private adoption typically refers to babies who are relinquished by their birth parents at birth. Public adoption refers to the foster care system. Jesse and I have chosen to work with Amara, an adoption agency that fosters both types of adoptions, and we are open to both. So we're kind of letting fate decide on that one.
Age? Gender?
For our first child, Jesse and I are hopeful in adopting a baby (0-24 months). We have no preference on gender. Again, we'll see what fate hands us.
What is the process even like to adpot a child?
The process varies based on a variety of factors (domestic v. international, private v. public, and more), but generally, adoptive parents complete a home study, either through an adoption agency or the foster care system. The home study includes a series of interviews, a home inspection, training and classes, and lots and lots of paperwork. It typically takes three to six months from start to finish.
From there, families undergoing private adoption will usually put together a profile that introduces themselves to birth families – their lifestyle, values, etc. That profile is given to birth families who can choose who they think is the best family for their child.
With public adoption, you work with a social worker who will find a child from the foster system that will fit your family, and that you will be a good home for.
(That is obviously a very, very simplified look at the process.)
Aren't you worried about all the risks?
This question comes up a lot, but can refer to a multitude of different "risks."
Risk 1: You have an arrangement with a birth family/pregnant woman, but when the child arrives, they change their mind and decide to keep the baby instead.
Risk 2: You receive a child from the foster care system, but then they're reunited with their birth family before your adoption can be finalized.
Risk 3: Any number of health issues, both in the child and the birth parents, or psychological issues due to abuse or neglect.
Risk 4: The "you're not my real parents and I don't have to listen to you!" rebellion stage, and/or your child wanting to learn more or even meet their birth family at some point.
The fact is, the adoption process can indeed be a rollercoaster with lots of ups and downs, but we're willing to weather the storms as they come. A lot of the training that adoptive parents go through is focused on making them more prepared for these potential heartaches.
(Not to mention that there are plenty of risks with having a biological child, too!)
It's probably none of my business, but . . . why adoption?
This is my favorite question because everyone wants to know but everyone also recognizes that it's probably rude to ask. But we are an open book and have no problem talking about our decision.
Obviously, it's common for people to choose adoption after experiencing fertility issues, so that tends to be the first assumption. In our case, adoption is and was our first choice for having a child. Jesse and I recognize that there are a lot of children all over the world in need of stable, supportive families, and it was more important to us to offer our home to one of those children rather than have a genetic connection. Without negating the biological bond that forms between a parent and child, we feel strongly that the true value of parenting is about the love and security you give. So adoption felt like the best choice for us from the beginning.
That pretty much covers the big ones.
I am very, very excited to meet my child!!
Help! Autograph Sayings for CRESS
With only 46 days (!!!) to go before Cress hits stores and I take off on my epic Cress book tour, it's time for me to start brainstorming the all-important saying that I'll write in the book during signings.
This is one of those weird things that kind of stresses me out every year. While a generic saying, such as "Enjoy!" or "Happy Reading!" would no doubt be perfectly acceptable, I really like to write something that relates to the book. Ideally I'll also have a saying that is gender-neutral.
For CINDER, my go-to phrase is:
Once upon a future . . .
Though if I have more time, I might spice it up by writing:
May the glass slipper always fit.
May your fairy godmother always be on call.
Live long and charming.
For SCARLET, I usually write:
Who's afraid?
Beware the Big Bad Wolf.
But for CRESS, so far all I've come up with is:
Let down your hair.
Which is okay, but a little cheesy and feminine and, you know, what if I'm signing for someone who's bald?
So I'm seeking your help, guys! Obviously, I know that most of you have not yet had the chance to read CRESS, but I'm open to any ideas that reference Rapunzel or the first two TLC books too.
Any thoughts?
An Interview with the NaNo Challenge Winners
I'm pleased to welcome three special guests today—the top three word-count writers from the Write Like Crazy NaNoWriMo Challenge! Each of these ladies wrote over HALF A MILLION WORDS, which is beyond amazing, and they were all kind enough to write a few hundred more to answer some of my questions.
I am super inspired by their dedication, and I hope you will be as well!
Please welcome Sam (561,921 words), Taryn (555,000 words) and Katie (500,005 words) to the blog!
Marissa: Do you want to tell us a little bit about the projects you were working on during November? I know some of you wrote multiple novels last month—which makes sense!
Sam: My novels were about a government training/ recruitment program for teens that wouldn't be missed in the world. The government could train these teen soldiers to kill and go into war, and not have to answer to any surviving family members about the teen's whereabouts or untimely deaths.
MG fantasy about two kids who uncover a monster smuggling ring
NA contemp about two girls who learn they're dating the same guy
YA fantasy crossing Rumspringa with a Native American vision quest
Space opera retelling of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
NA romance retelling My Fair Lady
Katie: I wrote four novels last month. The first was about a high school senior who's trying to figure out where to go to college while dealing with her dysfunctional extended family. The second was a college romance about a young woman trying to reconcile her desires with her feminist beliefs. The third was about a high school football player wrongly accused of murder. The fourth was about a high school dropout who tries to get over the death of her twin sister by hiking the 2,000+ mile-long Appalachian Trail. I also wrote several short stories and sort of "deleted scenes" featuring characters from different novels.
Marissa: What's next for you and your writing? Do you plan to revise these projects? Any hopes for future publication?
Sam: I definitely plan to revise my first novel, Experiment Area 96, because I really am proud of how that one planned out. The two sequels are kind of iffy for me. I don't think I like how my plot went and I may end up just rewriting both. I'm sure deep down inside I want my book published, but I have that little self-conscious voice in my head that's spewing what ifs. What if they all reject it? What if they publish it and all the readers hate it? So. Maybe when I get this voice tied up, gagged in a closet somewhere, I'll want my book published.
Taryn: I have an agent, and we're subbing a project from earlier this year. A couple of these will be revised while that one's out, so we'll see!
Katie: I have two novels that I promised myself I would rewrite once NaNo was over. Once I've edited those, I will go back and edit the projects I wrote last month. I really want to be published, and I currently have ten completed drafts that I need to work on. My plan is to make 2014 the year that I focus more on editing the novels I've already written and less on writing new novels. (Of course, I also said that last year!)
Marissa: How many times had you competed in NaNoWriMo before this? Was this the first time you pushed yourself to this degree, or is your ability to rack up mind-blowing word counts old news to you and your family?
Sam: This was actually my first 'official' NaNo. I did fanfiction for almost two years, racking up almost 16 stories. I think my longest story was about 200,000 words.
Taryn: 7th NaNo! My first one just barely made it across the 50K line. Finished in 3 days last year, but this is the first year I kept that pace up the whole way through.
Katie: This was my seventh year participating in NaNoWriMo, and the fifth year that I hit at least 50k. It wasn't until my fourth year that I learned that there were people who set out to write more than 50k. So the next year I set myself a goal of 75k and ended up hitting 222k. Last year I tried to hit 250k and ended up falling short at 242k. This year I thought I would be lucky to hit 250k. I never thought that I would be able to write half a million! I didn't even make that my official goal until about halfway through the month when I realized that I was still on pace for 500k.
Marissa: Speaking of friends and family—what did they think during your November writing madness? Did you have a lot of support, or did they mostly just think you're crazy?
Sam: I actually only told my mom that I was doing it! She didn't really say much or understand the significance. As for madness, I usually spend most of my days in my room anyways. (Antisocial teen stereotype. I know.) So my family didn't think much of it.
Taryn: I don't have a roommate, so I basically spent most of my time in my room when I wasn't at class or at the gym. No one was around enough to think I was crazy. My support system was twitter, and that was vital.
Katie: My family thinks I'm crazy, but they're pretty much used to it by now. They got a bit annoyed at the constant writing, but they were still really supportive. My boyfriend constantly volunteered to make me more tea when I ran out, and he always cheered me on when I felt like giving up. And my friends are mostly fellow Wrimos, so they definitely helped cheer me on!
Marissa: Can you offer any tips or techniques for how to be such an efficient word-count machine? (In other words: How did you do it?!)
Sam: I used a technique that my shop teacher actually taught me. That is to retype a same sentence while you think of your next one, just so you don't get stuck there staring at a blinking black line. I also planned. A TON.
Taryn: I have a ton of tips on my blog, but the most important one is this: Know how you write. Know your pace and how long you can keep it up and how long you need to recharge in between writing sessions. Plan ahead—A) in order to be excited about what you're writing, and B) in order to not have distractions discourage you.
Katie: There are three things that I absolutely would not have won without. A) Write or Die. I don't know what it is about that program, but it completely silences my inner editor about 98 percent of the time. Best ten bucks I've ever spent. B) Word wars. I have an awesome chat group that ran word wars all the time, and those (combined with WoD) really helped push me to write more than I would have on my own. C) A friend really close to you in word count. I wanted to stop writing a lot in the beginning of the month when I was so far ahead of my goal, but every time I wanted to quit, a fellow Wrimo was really close to me, and I had to keep writing so she wouldn't catch up. Those three things combined to keep me writing all month long, even when I wanted to stop.
Of course, it also helps that I had a lot of free time and have gotten to the point where I can easily type 3-4k an hour. I even hit 5k an hour once. That definitely was something that I worked up to, though. It was only a few years ago that I thought 1k in 30 minutes was impossible for me!
Marissa: How about any advice for staying sane during a huge writing marathon like this?
Sam: Outline. Outline. OUTLINE. It helps decrease the panic when you reach a word block. Just go over your outline and try to get a feel for where your story is going.
Katie: Remember to have fun. I have a lot of friends in chat, and I would never have made it if I didn't have them there to cheer for me when I did something awesomely crazy, to motivate me when I felt down, and just to joke around when I needed to think about something other than my novel. Writing is clearly important, but it's also important to make sure that you have people around—either in person or online—who can make you laugh when you need it.
Marissa: What was your favorite part of the Write Like Crazy Challenge, or NaNoWriMo in general? Least favorite part?
Sam: My favorite part of NaNo was just the community. I grew to love checking twitter to see how everyone was doing and connecting with others going through the same thing I was. My least favorite part was having self doubts and stressing over wanting to win the challenge so bad. My own mind was freaking out on me when I didn't type fast enough for all the information it was spewing at me.
Taryn: I love the atmosphere of NaNo, where creating is of #1 importance. Too many people get caught up in the minutiae of writing, but without a full picture, the details don't matter.
Katie: I loved the Write Like Crazy challenge because it really helped push me to write more than I originally intended. NaNoWriMo is great in general because it pushes me to write in general. I've always loved creating stories, but I was always afraid to write them down because they were never as good on paper as they were in my head. And NaNo helped me realize that that's okay, that there's always another draft to write that can make it better, that a first draft doesn't have to be good.
My least favorite part of NaNoWriMo is all the hate that comes with writing more than 50k. People on the forums can be really nasty sometimes. A bunch of people have gotten hate mail, and we have a bunch of people who come into the "Beyond 50k" forum (designed particularly for people who write more than 50k in a month, or 50k in less than a month) and start telling us that we must by lying or cheating or writing stuff that is of substantially lower quality than all the other drafts. Of course, there are also a lot of great people on the forums, and those people definitely outnumber the bad ones. The trick is to learning how to ignore the haters and just to keep doing what we love doing—writing.
Marissa: Would you do it again?
Sam: My gut is telling me NO! Even though it was an awesome experience, my school work decreased drastically! I already have school anxiety, and not completing school work really killed some of my grades. But have no fear, I managed to complete almost all of my work on time. Most of it. It was a sacrifice I was willing to make.
Taryn: Probably not >500K. Writing 16,667/day left me creatively exhausted. Still, I plan to stick with 2 full MSs each NaNo. Having thousands of other writers doing the exact same thing—challenging themselves—is so motivational.
Katie: Maybe. Somewhere around week three, I told myself that I would never, ever do this again. But then I hit 500k a day early, and then I started to think about how much I could have written if I had actually aimed for 500k the entire time instead of just sort of half-aiming for it most of the month, and now I really want to see if I can write more, or at least hit 500k faster. But that will have to wait for a month when I have more free time. I'm hoping to start my first year of teaching next year, and while I'll still be aiming for at least 100k, I doubt I will be able to write 500k and teach. Although I guess I'll never know if I don't try.
Marissa: I am so inspired after reading your answers! Thanks for answering my questions, and I wish you the best of luck with your revisions and future writing projects… and catching up on that school work!
Lunar Chronicles Short Stories & My GoodReads Interview
I have a couple announcements for you on this fine, frosty December morning.
Announcement #1
Many of you have been asking where the prequel short stories, "Glitches" and "The Queen's Army" disappeared to a few weeks ago. Not to fear! They are now posted again, totally free and open to international readers!
"Glitches": In this prequel to Cinder, we see the results of the plague play out, and the emotional toll it takes on Cinder. Something that may, or may not, be a glitch….
"The Queen's Army": In this prequel to Scarlet, we're introduced to the army Queen Levana is building, and one soldier in particular who will do anything to keep from becoming the monster they want him to be.
Read both prequels on my brand new WattPad page!
That link also includes the first five chapters of Cinder, Scarlet, AND Cress—so happy reading!
Announcement #2
I was interviewed for yesterday's GoodReads YA Newsletter, where I talk Cress, the Lunar Chronicles, and even read a poem that I penned when I was sixteen.
Check out the six-minute video here!
(Confession: video interviews always kind of freak me out, but this one was so much fun, and in my opinion turned out really cute. Thanks to GoodReads for the awesome interviewer!!)
Cress Receives a Starred Review from PW!
My first industry review for CRESS is in, and it's a star! *GIDDY*
The full review is below:
★ Cress
Marissa Meyer. Feiwel and Friends, $18.99 (560p) ISBN 978-0-312-64297-6
This third of four books in Meyer's Lunar Chronicles has no shortage of humor, action, or romance, and the author still delivers the clever fairy-tale twists her readers expect. Cress, a self-proclaimed "damsel in distress," has been imprisoned in an orbiting satellite for more than seven years, and has never been allowed to cut her hair, which has grown to Rapunzel-like lengths. Though Cress—an expert hacker—is supposed to be tracking down the fugitive Linh Cinder for Lunar Queen Levana, Cress has been secretly aiding her. When Cinder and her crew try to rescue Cress, the plan goes awry, leaving Cinder's group scattered and fighting for survival. Meyer continues to show off her storytelling prowess, keeping readers engaged in a wide cast of characters while unfolding a layered plot that involves warring governments and a fast-spreading plague. The momentum Meyer built in the first two books continues to accelerate as the stakes grow higher for Cinder and her friends. The next installment cannot come fast enough. Ages 12–up. Agent: Jill Grinberg, Jill Grinberg Literary Management. (Feb.)
Winter: Draft #2 and What Happens Next
As you may have noticed, I finished the second draft of WINTER, the fourth and final installation of the Lunar Chronicles, just over a week ago. And whoa boy, am I be happy to be out of that draft! This book, you guys. Here's hoping I can make it epic and awesome before it kills me.
I am happy with this draft, though. Sort of. I think. We'll see how I feel after I read through it. BUT – while I still feel that there is lots of room for improvement, there are also a lot of parts that make me giddy when I think about them, and how excited I am for you guys to read them, especially the Big Scenes that have been rolling around in my head since I first started coming up with these books.
I know you're all still holding your breaths for CRESS, but I thought I'd share a little non-spoilery info about WINTER anyway, while it's all fresh in my mind.
Title: Winter: Book Four of the Lunar Chronicles
Fairy Tale Inspiration: Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
Word count: Top Secret (but it will be the longest book of the series)
# of characters who get their own POV chapters: 11. Unless I'm forgetting some.
Combined months I've been working on this book so far: 10
Semi-randomly selected teaser sentence:
"No. She will never be queen." She swayed toward him, and he felt like he was being encircled by a python, smothered and choked.
(Dun dun dun . . .)
So, What Now?
Unfortunately, my second drafts are still usually a long ways from being finished, and this book is no different. At this point, I have dozens of notes left for myself throughout the manuscript—word choices I want to clarify, descriptions I want to add, things I need to research. So that's what I'm working on this week while I'm still in Nano-recovery mode.
Then I'll start reassessing the bigger picture items and figuring out ways to fix the still lingering issues that I have with plot, characters, and themes. In particular, there is one subplot that I am really unhappy with at this point and I know I need to give it some serious consideration before the next round. There were also a few subplots that got pushed aside in this draft that I need to bring back to the forefront and tie in to some of the other major plot arcs.
Once I'm satisfied (more or less) with those big elements, I'll conduct a read-through to check for general consistency, before sending it off to my editor and beta readers for feedback.
With any luck, this will happen before the Cress tour kicks off in February! *fingers crossed*
Inspiring Stats from the Write Like Crazy Challenge
I am still speechless at how successful this challenge was! I was honestly afraid when I posted about the challenge that I would hear nothing but crickets back at me. That I would post my final word count and no one would respond.
INSTEAD, you guys blew me away with your determination! (And, let's face it, kind of made me feel like a slacker.)
Some Challenge Statistics
# of words you had to write in order to beat me / win: 133,917
# of participants who did just that: 21
# of participants who are probably cyborgs: 21
# of participants who breached the half-million words mark: 3
Most words written by one participant: 561,921 (Way to go, Sam!)
Which breaks down to: 18,731 words per day
# of words written between me and all 21 winners: 5,131,353 (THAT'S RIGHT. FIVE MILLION WORDS.)
All winners have been contacted about claiming their prizes.
I'm also hoping to host some interviews later this month with the challenge's top word-count success stories. Because I think we could all glean a little bit of advice, tips, and morale-boosting from them!
Congrats again to the winners and to everyone who met their personal writing goals during November. Good luck with your revisions or future writing projects, and may December bring you many well-deserved naps!

A shortened schedule (eight games) leaves pitching options inherently limited, but a number of productive but overlooked hurlers take the mound Monday. It's rare you see a pitcher with a 3.15 ERA widely available, but Jeremy Guthrie is still a free agent in more than 40 percent of ESPN standard leagues. Fantasy owners bailed on Mark Buehrle early in the season after a disappointing start, but even a 2.74 ERA in 14 starts since June hasn't been enough to get back in owners' good graces. Finally, Nick Blackburn has a sub-4.00 ERA as a rookie, but just 76 strikeouts in 144 2/3 innings have left him free in 90-plus percent of leagues. Astute owners should take note.
Matchups for Monday, Aug. 18
All times are ET.
Injury report
Maicer Izturis, 2B/SS/3B, Angels (thumb)
Kazuo Matsui, 2B, Astros (back)
Troy Percival, RP, Rays (knee)
Milton Bradley, OF, Rangers (illness)
Ryan Braun, 3B, Brewers (back)
Start 'em, sit 'em
Hitters: In 120 at-bats versus southpaws, Melvin Mora is hitting .317 with 10 home runs, compared to .264 with eight home runs in 318 at-bats against righties. Chris Davis is just 5-for-35 in his past nine games, with 10 strikeouts and one walk. While his average was never likely to stay anywhere near .300, it seems pitchers have figured him out. Until Davis adjusts, you might want to bench or even drop him. Five of Marlon Byrd's eight home runs have occurred against southpaws even though he has 80 fewer at-bats against them. Also, he's hitting .320 in Rangers Ballpark, and hitting behind Josh Hamilton and Milton Bradley in the lineup, he's in a prime spot to contribute. The surging Mike Cameron is 8-for-19, with two homers, in his past five games, and he usually crushes left-handed pitching. Seattle's Jose Lopez is hitting .336 with four home runs in 128 at-bats against lefties. Adrian Beltre (.339 average) hits them well, too, but is just 2-for-15 off Mark Buehrle for his career.
Pitchers: Guthrie has allowed one earned run in each of his past four starts, and since June, nine of his 14 starts have resulted in exactly one earned run allowed, including a shutdown of the mighty Rangers offense two starts ago. With Guthrie pitching that well, you can feel comfortable starting him until he proves otherwise, even against the Red Sox (.801 team OPS, third in the majors).
John Maine allowed just one hit to the Nationals and didn't allow a run in his return start from the disabled list, although considering the opponent, success could have been expected. That said, Monday's opponent, the Pirates, shouldn't be a much tougher matchup; the team's .652 OPS this month is 29th in the majors.
Despite allowing a combined 10 runs to the Cubs and Diamondbacks his past two starts, Jorge Campillo is a great spot start for his outing versus the Giants. Campillo's peripherals are still OK -- he had 10 strikeouts, two walks and one home run allowed in those two starts -- and honestly, almost any decent pitcher is a feasible option against the Giants' weak lineup.
The Orioles' offense has the highest slugging percentage in the majors (by 15 points) since the All-Star break, and its .364 on-base percentage ranks second. The word "juggernaut" wouldn't normally be an adjective to describe the Orioles' offensive exploits -- their OPS ranked a respectable 12th before the All-Star break -- but until the bats cool down, protect your starters against them, Jon Lester included.
After averaging nearly seven innings over his first 17 starts, Justin Duchscherer is averaging just more than 5 2/3 innings in his past four starts. With a near nonexistent offense backing him, Duchscherer doesn't have much margin for error, and with his luck beginning to balance out, he's no longer a fantasy ace. Leave him reserved and see how he does against the Twins.
Waiver-wire pickups
Hitters: Adam LaRoche was in the midst of a scorching hot streak (.390 average, seven home runs in July) before a rib injury forced him to the disabled list. LaRoche missed only the minimum 15 days, went 6-for-10 on a rehab assignment and has four hits and a walk in three games since returning, suggesting he hasn't had a problem refinding his stroke. He should be picked up in fantasy leagues in which he's still available. Since taking over as the everyday third baseman since Evan Longoria went down, Willy Aybar has three home runs, three multihit games and five walks to two strikeouts. He's even hitting fifth in the lineup, so he's a decent fill-in.
Pitchers: The A's are the only team in baseball with an OBP below .300 (the Mendoza Line equivalent of on-base percentage) since the All-Star break. That makes Nick Blackburn a pretty easy call for a spot start.
Mark Buehrle is on pace for his sixth season with a sub-4.00 ERA, and consistent inning-eaters with low ERAs deserve to be owned in more than half of fantasy leagues, especially with an elite offense backing him. He's more than just a spot start, although his matchup against the Mariners on Monday is favorable, too.
Weather concerns
Showers will continue to plague any games in Arlington (Tigers-Rangers), with thunderstorms expected all day that could easily postpone, delay and/or shorten the game. Fortunately, that is the only concern of the day. Domes in Tampa Bay and Minnesota are weatherproof, of course, and otherwise the skies should be clear.

Can I use Silverlight to build cross-platform desktop widgets?
In Silverlight 2.0, you won't have any such luck.
In Silverlight 3.0 (currently in beta), however, support has been added for Out of Browser Capabilities, which means you can download and run Silverlight apps from your desktop.
The Silverlight platform in general is cross-platform, so external (desktop) aplications in Silverlight 3.0 will be exactly the same.
Quoted from the What's New in Silverlight 3 Beta? section of the release page:
Silverlight Vs WPF
First of all, WPF is not exactly Silverlight. They essentially require different run times. Silverlight Runtime is a subset of .NET, and needs to be installed by the client, to view your SL applications over a browser. Presently SL runtime is available for Windows and Mac. Moonlight is still not full fledged, and is evolving, for Linux.
WPF, on the other hand, is purely on top of .NET runtime, and is available only for Windows.
You can use XAML to develop user experiences in Silverlight and WPF, and as long as you stick to the Silverlight subset, you can compile your XAML in WPF as well.
Desktop Widgets
Now, your thought about building cross platform 'desktop' widgets - Do you want to host a Silverlight application in a desktop window? Silverlight 3.0 provides support for hosting silverlight controls out of the browser.
Otherwise, see my blog entry on hosting Silverlight using a browser shell. http://amazedsaint.blogspot.com/2008/12/thinking-outside-silverlight-sandbox.html.
This post is revolved around
But remember - it is not WPF. Hope this clarifies.

Riding on the coattails of the latest grunge revival and boudoir craze, slips are not only providing an elegant innerwear solution, but also the perfect antidote for carefully carefree dressing in Pre-Fall collections. Built-up straps and slits give the delicate dress a sporty update; a patchwork of washed silk, charmeuse, velvet and lace trims enlivens the minimalist classic with boho charm. – Sharon Graubard

Down to the wire on California's budget crisis
As voters face ballot measures, critics say Governor Schwarzenegger is using scare tactics.
Rich Pedroncelli/AP
Los Angeles
This state's largest newspaper has dubbed the two plans "grim and grimmer."
Unveiled by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday, the proposals are meant to address the state's budget crisis, which has grown by $21.3 billion since a bill was signed in February, closing a $42.5 billion gap – the largest state budget gap in American history.
With six initiatives on a special election ballot for Tuesday – all designed to deal with the state's chronic economic problems – one of Governor Schwarzenegger's plans is to deal with what the state's deficit will be if the measures don't pass ($21.3 billion). The other is for what happens if they do pass (a $15.4 billion deficit).
Five of the measures seem destined to fail, several state polls show. They include, among other ideas, altering the state lottery, extending recent tax increases, and diverting money from voter-approved programs. They account for $6 billion of the deal Schwarzenegger and lawmakers reached in February.
"This is the harsh reality of what we face," Schwarzenegger told a Capitol news conference. "Sacramento is not Washington.... We can't spend what we don't have." The state's annual income-tax collections have fallen for the first time since 1938.
"Obviously, the situation is unprecedented, and the state can't print money to take care of the deficit," says Robert Stern, president of the Center for Governmental Studies in Los Angeles.
In both plans, Schwarzenegger has to borrow $6 billion, cut K-12 education by $3 billion, lay off 5,000 of the state's 235,000 workers, cut funding to hospitals, and possibly reduce eligibility for healthcare programs – if he can get federal permission.
He also will be eliminating several boards and commissions, consolidating others, and selling several state landmarks, including San Quentin prison and the Los Angeles Coliseum and Sports Arena.
But just by mentioning all this, only five days before the vote, Schwarzenegger is being accused by critics of trying to scare voters into approving the initiatives. In 2004, four Schwarzenegger-backed initiatives all failed, dealing the governor a severe political blow, and many think another, similar setback will weaken him significantly.
"Releasing these numbers one week before the election is an obvious attempt to scare voters into voting for these failing measures," says Mike Roth of the "No on 1A" campaign.
There has also been a barrage of TV ads around the state, with one firefighter mentioning that 23,000 firefighters could be cut, and another ad saying, "we could lose 43,000 teachers, see class sizes increase, and more schools close." The cuts from education will be $5 billion if the measures fail, forcing a possible seven-day reduction in the school year, on top of billions the state cut in February.
But Barbara O'Connor, director of the Institute for the Study of Politics and Media, at California State University, Sacramento, doesn't fault Schwarzenegger and instead says the public may not really understand the choices.
"I don't think [voters] have a magnitude check of what these cuts will look like if the propositions don't pass, and that's the need for the fear appeal," she says.
Though state officials say the education cuts could be mitigated by federal stimulus funds, Kevin Gordon, president of School Innovations and Advocacy, says the US government may not allow California to simply replace its own funds. That would violate "the spirit of what leaders in Washington, D.C. intended," he said.
"If voters fail to approve the propositions, our schools will undergo another round of massive cuts – further unraveling public education in this state and hurting our kids," said David Sanchez, president of the California Teachers Association, in a statement.
The state also would ask the federal government to assume responsibility for an undetermined number of the 19,000 illegal immigrants held in state prisons. Ultimately, that would result in most of those prisoners being deported, according to state Finance Director Mike Genest.
The second of the two plans involves borrowing $7.5 billion from financially strapped local governments and a vastly depleted investment market. Some 225,000 children could lose healthcare coverage.
Schwarzenegger also proposes raising $1.8 billion by approving an oil lease off Santa Barbara County, a project recently rejected by the State Lands Commission. The lease would allow the first oil-drilling project off the state's coast in 40 years.
Lands Commissioner and State Controller John Chiang objects to the proposal because he feels it would open the door to offshore oil leases, which haven't been approved since the Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969.
Schwarzenegger said new taxes are "out of the question." Nevertheless, if voters reject his budget package Tuesday, he will be seeking some higher fees.

Fischer Audio Consonance White Earphones, Headphones for New Music Re-Vitalized
"Introduction: Sometimes in life, things kinda catch you by surprise when you least expect it and this is exactly what I found with the Fischer Audio Consonance Earphone. When I purchased my KEF M200s, I thought this would be for life; these were most accurate sounding IEMs I had heard to date. However, there was a downside like with most things in life and that was the..." --mcook1970
Fischer Audio Consonance V2
"The Consonance V2 is a pair of earphones manufactured by Russia-based Fischer Audio which forms part of their Fundamentals lineup.

Fischer Audio DBA-02
" Introduction A warning before we even get to the review. This is kinda lengthy. I'm not sure how it got so long since it is just one product but yeah it is a bit long.

Fischer Audio Silver Bullets
"First of all, my favourite genres are Progressive Roch/Metal and Classic, that's important to note for this review, because these IEMs are very specific. If you want a good all round package sound-wise and overall, look elswhere; the Fischer Audio Silver Bullets are uncompromisingly about the sound of drums and electric guitars! Their major weakness lies in their thin and flimsy cable. It's..." --AlfredKeppler
Fischer Audio Eterna
" So I owned a pair of CX300II's for over 4 years and finally decided to get a new pair. Of course, I was looking to upgrade from the sennheiser in terms of Bass and overall quality. After reading Jokers 131 IEM thread, I decided to get these. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I as looking for a IEM that I would use for 1-2 hours at a time on my way to school, and these are..." --2enty3
Fischer Audio DBA-02 Mk II
" The DBA-02 Mk IIs are getting a lot of the same fame and respect their initial version siblings got. While initial comparisons suggest the Mk IIs are not as distinctive as the originals in shining with as fearless a midrange and treble, the major sonic character seems to have carried. (I never heard the originals but have gathered this from others' opinions.) And..." --ScuderiaHeadFi
