Actress Kirstie Alley has created an all-organic weight loss program.
The former "Cheers" star has shed a total of 90 pounds in a dramatic health overhaul and she's vowing to help others get their bodies back in good shape with her new Internet-based company Organic Liaison.
During an appearance on "The View "on Tuesday, she says, "I was so desperate because my main thing was I wanted to have a lot of energy, so I worked with scientists and different experts in the world of organic (food).
"There's actually science behind all these chemicals... causing you to gain weight. (So) I have a company called Organic Liaison. We are doing really, really well. People love it. You eat your own food but we try to veer you towards organic. We have a lot of state-of-the-art tools on our website. It just gives you tons of energy. I'm really, really happy with it."

Newspoll: 54-46 to Coalition
GhostWhoVotes reports (though James J in comments had the numbers 45 minutes earlier) that Newspoll has the two-party preferred vote at 54-46, compared with 55-45 a fortnight ago and 59-41 the fortnight before. The primary votes are 32% for Labor (up two on last time), 46% for the Coalition (up one) and 12% for the Greens (steady). Julia Gillard's approval rating is up three to 30% and her disapproval down three to 60%, while Tony Abbott is respectively down three and up four to 31% and 60%. Julia Gillard leads as preferred prime minister 40-37, reversing Abbott's 40-36 lead last time.
Today's Essential Research was less encouraging for Labor: it had them losing one of the points on two-party preferred which were clawed back over previous weeks, the result now at 57-43. Primary votes were 50% for the Coalition (up one), 33% for Labor (steady) and 10% for the Greens (steady). Other questions gauged views on the parties' respective "attributes", with all negative responses for Labor (chiefly "divided" and "will promise anything to win votes") rating higher than all positives. The Liberal Party did rather better, rating well for "moderate" and "understands the problems facing Australia". Bewilderingly, only slightly more respondents (35%) were willing to rate the state of the economy as "good" than "bad" (29%), with 33% opting for neither, although 43% rated the position of their household satisfactory against 28% unsatisfactory.
UPDATE (29/5/12): Morgan have broken the habit of a lifetime by publishing their weekend face-to-face poll results on a Tuesday, never having been known in the past to do it earlier than Thursday. My best guess is that they wished to offer a riposte to Newspoll's relatively encouraging figures for Labor – "today's Newspoll showing a swing to the ALP is simply unbelievable", says Gary Morgan in the accompanying release – with their own results, which show Labor support at an all time low on every measure. The poll has Labor's primary vote down 4.5% on the previous week to 27.5%, the Coalition up 3.5% to 49% and the Greens up 2.5% to 13%. This translates into 61.5-38.5 on respondent-allocated preferences and 58-42 on preferences as they flowed at the previous election.

A couple of years of Cando will be enough IMO. Bligh copped it because she 'privatised' a lot of State assets without telling us before the election. By the time Cando has sold half the place to his developer mates he'll be gone, and he's the only one there with any leadership skills at all. Lurch, Seeney, Flegg et al have already been around and rejected so there's noone else.
A decent swing will see the end of the LNP for another two or three terms. Look at the percentage vs. Number of seats.

Just for fun!!!
Last night on Lateline, they played a short clip of flipping through a two page credit card account in the name of Craig THOMSON.
Reversed and paused a few times and was able to make out (in order):
Craig THOMSON
CBA ATM Circular Quay NSW
CBA ATM Albert Park Vic
CBA ATM 254 Latrobe St Vic
CBA ATM Albert Park Vic
Prince Alfred Hotel Port Melbourne
ANZ ATM Quantas Melbourne Tullamarine
CBA ATM Pitt & Martin NSWTotal of account looked like $1574 (can't be sure)
Thomson without the "P".
Was not able to pick up dates or individual amounts.
Did not include in above the ATM charges, but indicates that credit card was not CBA or ANZ.
Looks like Craig had a trip to Melbourne for a few days on business and back to Sydney.
Where did Lateline get hold of this account? Are they available to view?
Move on people – nothing to see here.

Well, that's it. After the last few days, Abbott is flushed out now. He can't control the agenda and he can't control his image or the way he presents. He'll have to faff about trying to find a new angle, which is going to be hard for him because he's been using the exact same approach for so long and his minor variations have usually been disastrous.
He'll never have the element of surprise over the ALP any more either. And for once there are unanswered lingering questions hovering over his own party, particularly regarding Ashby and the Kathy Jackson saga.
Plus, he's expected by his fanbase and coterie to be moving away from stunts and into policy from here. He's been overexposed on the outrage and hysteria front – everyone's a bit "that's so 2011″ about it. From here the chat about him moving to Plan B and talking policy is going to become a bit more urgent. He's been nothing but hopeless in that area.

And GALOOT Again: CJ Dennis "Nikki the Greek"
Down by the tables to left and right
Goes George in his strong young pride;
And Nikki explains to his friends at night,
In the club, how his hands are tied:
"Ah, I like-a to stoush dat young galoot
When he come-a to serve da fish!
But a smack-a da face wit da barra-da-cootand "The Also Ran"
Nex' mornin' I ain't feelin' none too good:
That snub still 'urt. I potter round about;
Then go across to where 'e's choppin' wood
To 'ave it out
With Wally Free about 'is thievin' cow.
But that pie-faced galoot won't 'ave a row.Then there's Slim Dusty: "Woobly Boot" (and quite a few others; Slim was fond of it)
Oh, it's a curse, there ain't nothin' worse, makes you feel like a big galoot,
When you're standin' there, full of cheer, and somethin' goes wrong with your boot,And Banjo Paterson, eg "The Scapegoat" (also a very frequent user)
We have all of us read how the Israelites fled
From Egypt with Pharaoh in eager pursuit of 'em,
And Pharaoh's fierce troop were all put "in the soup"
When the water rolled softly o'er every galoot of 'em.Also used in quite a few other poems, eg Harlequin Rip, Tar and Feathers (as in the famous wily galoot that entered the vernacular.
So the word was part of the Aussie vernacular in Qld, NSW, Victoria, SA – don't know any Tas or WA or NT poems using it.

It's wishful thinking that Federal Labor can save themselves by picking up seats in NSW at the next election, assuming Gillard is still the leader.

Wednesday 30 May 2012 could have been the day when Tony Abbott jumped the political shark.
Yes, I think so. I've been a bit careful about these sorts of predictions, because it has seemed like Abbott could keep it up forever. But, as one of the twittering journos noted yesterday, without some whipped-up scandal to obsess over the Coalition don't really have a lot to say. And the decks have been cleared over the past couple of months. Rudd, then Slipper, then Thomson – all of them shifted from the 'unfinished business' pile to the 'dealt with' one.
Of course, the Thomson one isn't over yet, but it is finished as a stick to beat the ALP with. Making them play out the charade of refusing-the-tainted-vote seals it. The worst aspect of it for the Coalition is that it cements the idea of them as a party more interested in political chicanery than political process. They took the idea too far and exposed it in all its farcical glory.
I heard a bit of News Radio discussing it this morning, and gee weren't they in a bind. They had to reduce it to a joke in order not to condemn Abbott as trashing parliament. But in the process they had to paint him as a lightweight. It was the only choice they had.

The Senate committee and the 'Smoking Gun document' hearing
The transcript of session held after Senators Abetz and Ronaldson held two pressers complaining that they had only received a specific document after the people from FWA had left and demanding the recall of FWA to appear again is out.
Poor EricA – It seems that the Committee now has two copies of the actual document – certainly one they received after FWA had left as a supporting attachment to an answer to a different question.
However the document was also supplied as part of seven folders supplied to the Committee some six or so weeks earlier.
Senator ABETZ: Ms O'Neill, can I ask you in which folder of the seven extra folders this document may be found in?
Ms O'Neill: I do not have that information at hand. What I have is the document reference number which is FWA.024.0076.
(Smart Ms O'Neill – best not to have the schedule of documents to hand).
Senator FIERRAVANTI-WELLS: Ms O'Neill, I perused that material. I spent four days reading that material— not only the report including the seven volumes—and I have gone back today to have a look at those documents. And this document does not appear amongst the material that is in those seven folders—certainly the seven folders that I have seen. So we appear to have a bit of an issue there. If you could go back and have a look at that because I have certainly not found it amongst the material I have looked at as late as this afternoon.
Ms O'Neill: I will do that, but I sought that information and clarification this afternoon and that is the information I have been provided.
Senator FIERRAVANTI-WELLS: That begs the question though, Ms O'Neill, that if this document is not there what other documents may not be there? If this document is not amongst the documents that are supposed to be in those seven folders, could you also please check to make sure that there are other documents that you assert ought to be in those seven folders that are not there.
Senator Ludwig: Chair, I think we should slow down a little bit here. If FWA say the document is there, we should verify that before we start making hypothetical questions about whether the document is or is not there and what other documents are or are not there. I think we should at least establish whether or not the committee has the document in question. That is easily done but I cannot do that.
(This why Ms O'Neill is smart because if she handed over the FWA'S list of documents then someone could just go and look in the folders right now and come back to the Committee and confirm that the document is indeed there and Connie (Sen F-W) has just missed it. Ms O'Neill would much rather that fact be confirmed when she is 'not around'.)
(EricA wakes up to this around then and goes on and has a go a confusing the issue:)
Senator ABETZ: That is fair enough, but let us also remind ourselves that the committee has not authorised the public release of any of those seven volumes and therefore it was not appropriate for any senator to seek to refer to that document in public.
Senator Ludwig: They are clearly matters for the committee to deal with.
Hmmm – I wonder if the contents of the seven volumes will ever see the light of day now?
Poor EricA , Poor Connie.
There was the usual amount of bull shit from EricA around this to try to confuse the issues and the Hocky-Pokey Senator went on to again made an idiot of herself at the end of the days hearing as well.
There's no doubt that the Coalition members of the Committee covered themselves in 'Glory'!

Muttley there was talk that the adult program may be stopped but I haven't seen a final confirmation of that. I don't believe there is any policy to stop the child program.
We had to get whooping cough innoculations if we wanted to visit our baby grandson in the maternity hospital.
I took it from that, that whooping cough innoculation should be a whole-of-population thing but I am not an expert on it.

All Lined Up: Wheel Alignment Service At Tyler's Automotive
When all of your vehicle's wheels are lined up exactly with each other, your wheels are in alignment. Hitting a road hazard or even just the normal bumps and bounces of everyday driving in Wilsonville can cause your SUV's wheels to be out of alignment.
Driving for an extended time in Wilsonville when your wheels are out of alignment results in uneven tire wear. This is dangerous … and expensive. Worst case scenario, you have a blowout on a crowded Oregon freeway. It can also cause premature wear to your suspension system, which can be really expensive to repair. At the very least, you may have to replace your tires years too early.
Here are some alignment basics from Tyler's Automotive:
The first adjustment is called toe or do the wheels point in towards each other or away from each other at the front of the tire.
The next adjustment is called camber or do the wheels tip in or out at the top.
And finally, there is castor. Castor measures the angle where the front axles attach to the vehicle.
The ideal alignment for your SUV was designed by its engineers. Alignment service at Tyler's Automotive starts with an inspection of the steering and suspension – to see if anything's bent or broken. Then your Professional Tyler's Automotive technician will look at tire condition.
From there, the SUV is put on an alignment rack and an initial alignment reading is taken. The wheels are then aligned to SUV car makers's specifications.
Your SUV owner's manual probably has a recommendation for how often your alignment should be checked – usually every couple of years. If you suspect an alignment problem, get it checked at Tyler's Automotive before you suffer expensive tire or suspension damage.

Asking all the right questions
UPDATE: Episcopal Relief & Development has issued a 2/11/10 press release,
Although the storm has passed, reports indicate that some areas could be without power for up to a month while services are restored. With no heat, electricity or running water, these communities continue to face temperatures well below freezing. They are bracing for the possibility that this winter's worst storms are yet to come. The most severe winter weather usually does not hit this area until March or April.In North Dakota, the diocese will use emergency funds to provide critical relief in the form of lodging and food. Once immediate needs have been met, they will begin restoration work on area residences damaged by the storm. The Diocese of South Dakota will employ emergency funds to provide food, mend broken pipes, restore access to clean water and supply propane for heating homes.
"Although much of the world's focus is on the problems in Haiti, it is crucial that we do not forget those in need here at home," said Abagail Nelson, Episcopal Relief & Development's Senior Vice President for Programs. "Episcopal Relief & Development is committed to supporting the communities of the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Reservations as they recover from these storms and get back to life as normal."
__________Cathy Lynn Grossman meditates on why some disaster stories go under reported. She draws attention to the 30,000 Cheyenne River Sioux who are snowed under and have gone without power for two weeks:
No photos or video of sweet suffering faces. No popular vacation landscape for a backdrop. No personal connective ties. Are those the reasons the natural disaster in the Great Plains has gone below our philanthropy radar? How many of us knew anything about the massive winter storms that have left the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation without power or water or heat for nearly two weeks?Read it all in USA Today's Faith & Reason.
The Episcopal Bishop of South Dakota, John Tarrant is calling for relief funds from Episcopal Relief and Development, and set Valentine's Day for a special collection to help the 30,000 Sioux in an area the size of Connecticut.
Are we like the applauding audience on that old TV show Queen For A Day where the housewife with the most piteous tale and the greatest audience response could win a new fridge?Do we move faster to help the cute, the convenient, the folks who tell the saddest story? Why do some causes get snowed with aid while others don't?
Keith Olbermann just announced that his listeners raised $185,000 for the Cheyenne River Reservation. The media hasn't completely overlooked this disaster.

Athlete Aimee Mullins
"Born without fibulae in both legs, Aimee's medical prognosis was discouraging; she was told she would never walk, and would likely spend the rest of her life using a wheelchair. In an attempt for an outside chance at independent mobility, doctors amputated both her legs below the knee on her first birthday. The decision paid off. By age two, she had learned to walk on prosthetic legs, and spent her childhood doing the usual athletic activities of her peers: swimming, biking, softball, soccer, and skiing, always alongside "able-bodies" kids."

Physics PhD Students - Types of Financial Supportby Mark McFarling and Michael Neuschatz Highlights
There were approximately 9,700 physics students enrolled in PhD physics programs in 2001 and over 90% of these students were financially supported. The three most common forms of financial support were teaching assistantships, research assistantships and fellowships. While many factors affected what type of support a student was likely to receive, two stand out. The biggest such factor was how far along students were in their program of study (Figure 1). Generally, new students started out in teaching assistantships and moved into research assistantships as they progressed. By their third year, over half held research assistantships. In addition, about one-sixth of first year students were granted fellowships, although this dropped slowly but steadily to 1 in 12 by year 7. Sixty-one percent of all PhD-level students identified their research method as experimental based, while most of the rest had a theoretical approach (Table 1), and this difference was the second major factor affecting what type of support they would receive. While an equal percentage of both theoreticians and experimentalists held teaching assistantships in the first year of their studies, by year four, only 12% of experimentalists held teaching assistantships, compared to 38% of theoreticians (Table 2). Concomitantly, a higher percentage of experimentalists held research assistantships, and this was true regardless of year of study. The data also show a higher percentage of theoreticians holding fellowships in the first few years of study. Over half of physics PhD-level students were citizens of countries other than the US (Figure 2), and on the surface it appears that this was a major factor in determining what type of support a student would receive (Table 3). In actuality, the differences between US citizens and non-citizens were largely attributable to two factors. First, fellowships are much more readily available to US citizens, primarily because the majority of these are funded by US government sources such as the National Science Foundation. Second, there was a significant difference between the two groups in their selected research method, with 41% of foreign students identifying their approach as theoretical, compared to 28% of US citizens. Given that theoreticians were in general more likely to be teaching assistants, this helps explain why there was a higher percentage of teaching assistants among foreign students than among their US counterparts.
Since 1968, the AIP Statistical Research Center has periodically reported information about physics and astronomy graduate students. The data for this discussion are primarily based upon the 2001 Physics & Astronomy Graduate Student Survey. This survey was conducted during the spring of 2001 and was sent to students who were currently enrolled as graduate students, as identified by Physics and Astronomy department. Response rates for the known population were 39% for physics and 46% for astronomy. |

New Concord, Ohio – October 8, 2010 - The Heidelberg University women's soccer team earns its first Ohio Athletic Conference win of the season as it blanks Muskingum University 4-0. The win marks head coach Nick Spell's most in a single season since he took over the program in 2006.
The Berg improves to 8-5 overall, 1-2 in the OAC, while the Muskies fall to 1-12, 0-3 against conference play.
Freshman Aleseya Evans (Troy, Ohio / Troy) put Heidelberg on the score board first in the 25th minute with a 20 yarder from straight-away center over the Muskies' goalie's head. Evans now has three goals on the season.
Evans' classmate freshman Kelsey Hogan (Cincinnati, Ohio / Mariemont) scored her team-leading eighth goal on the year, when she scored in the 37th minute.
Heidelberg matched its first half effort in the second half with two more goals courtesy of senior Katie Klein (Milford, Ohio / Milford) (69th min.) and junior Rachel Johann (Evansville, Ind. / Evansville Reitz) (79th min.). Klein scored from a free kick with a bent kick in the far post proceeded by Johann placing a ball in the corner of the near post. Both goals marked their first of the season.
The Berg outshot the Muskies 23-20 for the game.
Freshman goalie Brittany Labry (Aurora, Ohio / Twinsburg) led the team with four saves on the day.

Father Ted star, Ardal O'Hanlon is delighted to present his latest stand-up show for 2013. The style is observational, the subject matter is Life itself, and the default expression is one of utter disbelief!Lurking beneath Ardal's mild-mannered demeanor resides a sharp and probing (and fairly mild-mannered) comic brain. Sometimes thoughtful, sometimes silly, but always punchy, he has tickled audiences all over the world. In a comprehensive set, he talks about not just the things that matter but also about the things that don't matter at all. Which covers pretty much everything.
However it is as a stand-up comedian where Ardal's true vocation lies. He sees his role in life as 'highlighting the ridiculous.' Avoiding the overly crass and the obvious, his only interest is the truth…if there is such a thing.
"Charm, intelligence and fabulous phrase-making" - The Guardian
"He flutters through a variety of topics with a poet's eye for Inconsequential detail" – The Telegraph
"Particularly inspired…you could listen to O'Hanlon's infectious self-effacement for hours…highly entertaining and frequently brilliant" - Irish Independent

ONE Festival
Brand new at the 2009 NOAC is the ONE Film Festival, and The ONE Film Festival offers unique training perspective.
The films were submitted by lodges in an open completion. Unami Lodge's submission is a conclave promotion video titled I Love Conclave, in parody of the song "I Love College". Other videos to be shown include a documentary Troop 759: Boy Scouts of Harlem, the video Voice of Our Founder and a feature on how the ArrowCorps5 video was made. From these, attendees will learn how to make videos, either for their lodge's benefit, or their own personal interest.
The committee has noted that the film festival, with over 400 people already pre-registered, will most likely be the third largest session at NOAC. Only the Leadership Symposium and Signatures session are expected to draw bigger crowds.
The ONE film festival is a special event that should not be missed. All of the videos relate to either the theme (The Power of One) or the ideas of Scouting. It is clear that this new session will be a favorite in the minds of many other Arrowmen too.
The film festival will be held in 100 Woodburn Hall today from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m.

Mexico's President Felipe Calderon (rear) and his wife first lady Margarita Zavala cast their votes as their children try to squeeze into the booth with her at a polling station in Mexico July 1, 2012. Mexicans began voting for a new president on Sunday with the opposition party that dominated the country for most of the past century poised for a comeback after the ruling conservatives failed to provide strong growth or halt a brutal drugs war. (Photo : REUTERS/Henry Romero)
The Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) in Mexico has announced that election day in Mexico has so far been progressing normally.
Many local and overseas Mexicans have been filled with concern over possible voting abnormalities many (hundreds of thousands) alleged took place during Mexico's 2006 General Elections.
Like Us on Facebook
However the president of IFE, Leonardo Valdes, announced on Sunday that a mid-day televised message informing all Mexicans on the evolution of the election day process would not be necessary since "election day is running normally."
In the wake of declaring a new president-elect for the emerging Latin American nation, many fear the elections may end up prompting waves of new protests and even violence should the process hint to even the smallest abnormality.
During the election campaigns, tens of thousands of people, mostly students, rallied in Mexico City to denounce Mexico's main media and news companies (privately run) alleging that these have steered their programs to favor the more conservative candidates including front-runner, Enrique Peña Nieto.
The Latinos Post has learned that among Mexico's university students, the majority expect the elections to proclaim Peña Nieto as winner, although they themselves do not necessarily want him as the new president.
One student, who wished to remain anonymous, informed that should Peña Nieto be elected, students would prompt massive protests and demonstrations in Mexico City.
Another individual shared that should voter fraud or abnormalities be suspected, then Mexico City's students would attempt to initiate an Egypt-style revolution.
Leftist candidate, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador could see a win in Mexico City since he was an esteemed former governor of Mexico's capital while Peña Nieto's popularity in various other Mexican states should give him a favorable advantage over his fellow running candidates.
More updates on Mexico's general election day will follow.

Hi all
Please read the Cape Times today.
Helen Zille taking a position..or sort of..I am not entirely sure what it means.
And of course Tony weavers volcanic eruption,- clean em up! Get rid of ALL ALIENS. The sooner or better.
If the wine industry wasn't such a prestigious, famous and potentially ferocious opponent I think it would be next in the firing line after the Deer and pines.
The letter is as clear as day….Get rid of the lot and the sooner the better,- pine is just like a mielie field!
I have yet to see hikers, horse rider, picnickers, mountain bikers in a mielie field,- but who knows…..when all is gone a time may came for mielie fields….

English Grammar for Dummies by Geraldine Woods:

By Nikolai Krestinsky:
When i first come to America, my english did cause me problems. In Soviet Russia i was strong teacher, my english i know is the best in all of Petropavlovsk. My brother, Mikhail, he say to me, "Nikolai you go to America, they make you rich like czar, [meet ladies], kill many bear". My brother, he is very wise, is greatest toymaker in all of Russia. So next day i wake up, sell my house, say goodbye to wife and children, and go to America to become millionaire. Then in America, I go to job interview and they say to me "Nikolai, you are not for the job here, you are not the skills we need, your english is poor like child". I take that man and smash his table, i say "someday i will be greatest man in all of country, your children will wish me their father!". That day my anger is best of me. It is then i know i must learn better english, so i buy book "English Grammer it is for Dummies" by Mr.Woods. Now i am perfect english grammer! I write letter to Mikhail, he write back "Nikolai, your english is like a god, you will be millionaire soon! all of Petropavlovsk is proud for you! good luck brother! please send letter when you are president or maybe even czar! Hahaha! also, your wife is killed by bear". So i say thanks to Mr.Woods for his book! When i am czar your family will be spared! Hahahaha! (is joke).

Pretty good quality, wouldn't you agree?
Hi Terry, I agree with you about REI. Great gear, knowledgable staff. Just think it's funny from the REI statement that a person could/would sue a supplier for a crash caused by a stick through the wheel spokes of a bike. Ha, adults. if that was a kid, he'd dust himself off, ride home and fix the bike.

A few takeaways:
1. Just like I needed to chillax rather than trying to diagram the book, friendships should be enjoyed as they are and not analyzed to the point that they lose their meaning.
2. Friendships are only as strong as the people who formed them. And sometimes, they can be really, really strong. Strong enough to survive distance, difference of opinion, heartbreak, and the loss of a loved one. Friendship is proof that if it doesn't die, it really can become stronger.
3. Cherish your girlfriends. Make time for them. Celebrate them. Don't let life get the best of your friendships. It's not always easy – but it's always worth it.
4. The book was very relatable. I could see a little bit of myself in each of the girls from Ames AND I could see a little bit of Tiff, Lyndse, and Sara in each of the girls from Ames. I loved that – we're all so different, yet these girls in the books somehow epitomized each of us.
The Girls From Ames reminded me how lucky I am to have the girlfriends that I have. I live two states away from Sara and Lyndse, and don't even see Tiff on a regular basis – even though we live in the same town. Days will pass with no communication between me and them. But we always manage to pick up right where we left off. We all know that the others will be there in a flashity-flash-flash if needed. And that, my friends, is a friendship worth hanging on to forever.

It's just a sick Saturday for SEC football fans, as Saturday night's West Virginia-LSU game is the third featuring a ranked SEC team facing another Top 25 opponent — and the other two games are vs. other SEC teams! If anyone questions whether the SEC is the best conference in the land, days like Saturday make that abundantly clear. LSU is a 10-point favorite on Bodog's NCAA odds for this one.
West Virginia of course wants to win for itself, but the Big East really needs this. Following Pitt's blowout home loss to Miami on Thursday night, the Big Least is now 1-7 so far against other automatic qualifying BCS conferences. That lone win was by these Mountaineers against Maryland.
But what a chore WVU has ahead of it Saturday. LSU is 50-5 at night at home since 2000 and is 26-1 under Les Miles in Saturday night home games. The Tigers have the nation's longest regular-season non-conference winning streak at 30 in a row – that dates back to 2002. And LSU has won 28 straight non-conference games at home, a streak that dates to 2000. Under Bill Stewart, WVU has beaten just one ranked team.
It's probably fair to say the key to this game would be West Virginia running back Noel Devine, a Heisman candidate. He has rushed for 354 yards so far this season, topping 100 in each game. LSU, meanwhile, is 32-0 when reaching the 100-yard rushing mark as a team and holding the opponent to less than 100 rushing yards. WVU is 15-3 when Devine rushes for 100-plus yards.
LSU's defense has 11 sacks and is allowing just 80.3 yards per game rushing – both No. 2 in the SEC. But WVU's defense ranks eighth in the nation against the rush, which could pose problems for the Tigers because QB Jordan Jefferson hasn't even topped 100 yards passing in the past two games. He also hasn't thrown a touchdown since the opener.
Can WVU end LSU's amazing home non-conference streak? Be a player and bet on the WVU-LSU game at Bodog

Community, Camaraderie, Cool New "Muse" & Pending Surprise
Described as "John Grisham with a sister's twist," Pamela Samuels Young makes her SCWC debut in September. The award-winning author of such taught legal thrillers as Every Reasonable Doubt, In Firm Pursuit, Murder on the Down Low, and Buying Time--honored with a 2010 Fiction Award by The Black Caucus of the American Library Association--her books are immensely popular with readers everywhere, but it's her path to publication where the real story lies. Full of insight and inspiration, she'll tell us all about it, as well as her latest, Attorney-Client Privilege, out July from Goldman House.
No doubt you've heard plenty about HarperCollins digital imprint, Authonomy, derived from its online effort geared to "flush out the brightest, freshest new literature around." Well, none other than Mary Vensel White is aboard for LA10. Her debut novel, The Qualities of Wood, was the first book chosen for publication based on nominations from the Authonomy writing community. A work of literary fiction bestowed the 2012 International Book Award, the challenges of crafting the novel proved unique enough--though pervasive throughout the writing community--that Mary's put together a workshop right up the SCWC's alley: "Outside Genre: How Story Trumps Convention."
Speaking of community, both our .COMmunity and extended community of SCWCers, Janice Thomas is a familiar face to many regulars. Among our prized volunteers behind the registration desk the past two conferences, not only will she be introducing a new workshop, "Getting to the Heart of Women's Fiction," but also her debut novel from Berkely Books, Something New. The publication date isn't until November, but we're pretty sure we'll get our little digits on some advance copies. Congratulations, Janice!
Another member of the community couldn't have made us more proud than Sheri Fink, best-selling children's book author of The Little Rose and The Little Gnome. Sheri took it upon herself to compile not one, but two Amazon Listmania lists of books that have come out from SCWCers in recent years. While in no manner complete, it offers up over 60 titles in almost every genre imaginable for your reading pleasure, including Jennifer Word's debut novel, The Society, just out from Stony Meadow Publishing. Thank you, Sheri!

More Good "Muse"
Two debut novels were unveiled by ZOVA Books at February's SD26 event. SCWCer Jessica Therrien's Oppression, the first volume in her Children of the Gods trilogy, and SCWC director Wes Albers's gritty Black & White. Both have won over gobs of fans since then, and both have given extended audio interviews to our friends at Scripts & Scribes. Here you can listen or download for later the podcast of Wes and the podcast of Jessica.
Quick shout out to yet another ZOVA Books writer, author and Oscar-winning screenwriter Michael Blake. His sequel to Dances with Wolves, Into the Stars, recently nabbed the Gold Medal IPPY Award for Military/Wartime Fiction. Of course, Michael is one our special guest speakers and workshop leaders in Newport Beach. Members of ZOVA's editorial team will also being joining in.
House Cleaning & Pending Surprise
As usual, we'll be opening up the advance submission readers for selection by month's end, just as soon as the remaining agents, editors and authors who'll be accepting material are confirmed. The working schedule will be posted in a week or so. Also, either at the end of June or first week of July, we'll be rolling out a new feature of WritersConference.com that so many have been asking for for a very long time. Be sure you're subscribed to our newsletter to find out where it will be and when. If you're a writer, you'll not want to miss it.
Attending writers' conferences often ain't cheap and the motives of the organizers putting them on can sometimes prove questionable. Some are devoted to the writers attending, others more to those the writers are seeking to learn from or be represented by. For nearly 27 years the SCWC has distinguished itself for a reason: it is first and foremost about extending our community, our commitment to passionate advocacy for writers, far beyond the end of any given event's weekend. Two brief essays that got lost in the website rollover, geared to help you choose the right conference for you, are now back: "Pitch Conference: My Opinion," by Jean Jenkins and "Choose the Write Conference for Your Needs," by Michael Steven Gregory. At some point we'll get them back on the front page.
Finally, the Newport Beach conference is more limited in size than San Diego. Reserve your spot by taking advantage of the Early "Bard" Discount by July 1. And be sure to join the vigorous conversation on our SCWC Facebook Wall.
