They are the Nobel literature bridesmaids. Every year, they appear on Ladbrokes' betting site alongside their odds of winning. Les Murray: 16/1. Cees Nooteboom: 33/1. Claudio Magris: 40/1.
Perennial names probably more familiar to American readers include Haruki Murakami (7/1), Chinua Achebe and Amos Oz. The latter two aren't even ranked by Ladbrokes this time around. If recent history is any indicator, that means they've got a decent shot of winning. The Ladbrokes lads, after all, did not bother to place odds for such recent winners as Herta Muller or Elfriede Jelinek.
Here in the U.S., drums are beating for Philip Roth. But those same drums are beating abroad, too. The UK's Guardian newspaper nagged Nobel Academy permanent secretary Horace Engdahl this week about whether Roth would ever win. "If I had a dollar whenever I got that question," he sighed. Roth's brilliant, prodigious output is certainly Nobel-esque. His greatest books, like Portnoy's Complaint and American Pastoral are arguably world classics. And with a novel like The Plot Against America, he's imagined the sort of externalized literature of global consequences so beloved by the Swedish Academy.
But the Academy also tends to reward writers who've worked in multiple genres — novels, dramas, essays, poems, translations — and that might hamper Roth and another constant Nobel bridesmaid, Tomas Tranströmer. He's a Swedish surrealist poet who's also spent a career as a psychiatrist working with institutionalized children.
A lot of folks around the world are predicting that the bouquet will finally be caught by Adonis, who's been mentioned as a contender for at least a decade. A victory by the Syrian-born poet would resonate in the wake of the Arab Spring, as people are still being jailed, beaten and killed while struggling, in part for free expression.
Some younger Arab intellectuals have criticized Adonis for not being involved enough with the Arab Spring and for being too Western in his ideological allegiances. It's true that Adonis has always been interested in bridging East and West — he helped introduce modern experimental free verse into Arabic poetry and has said he considers Nietzsche and Rimbaud among his most profound influences. But he's written movingly about the Arab Spring for months.
"I do not know how to cry," he wrote last May about protestors in Syria for the Lebanese newspaper Al-Hayat. "And even if I did, I would rather my eyes become two fountains of tears: a southern one for Daraa, and a northern one for Banyas and Jebla."
The winner of this year's Nobel Prize in Literature was announced this morning. It is Swedish poet, Tomas Transtromer.
Joining us, now, is NPR's Neda Ulaby. Good to have you, Neda.
NEDA ULABY, BYLINE: Hi, Lynn.
NEARY: And, a Nobel bridesmaid finally won the prize.
ULABY: Yes. Transtromer has long been mentioned as a candidate for the Nobel. And when the announcement was made this morning, you heard something highly unusual – Swedish people screaming with joy.
NEARY: Really? He's very popular there?
ULABY: He's wildly popular.
NEARY: So tell us a little bit more about him.
ULABY: Well, he was born in Stockholm in 1931, to a fairly well off and literary family. He's been a star in Sweden since he was 23 years old, when he published his first volume of poetry. But he's also had a very long and distinguished career as a psychologist and a social worker. He works with troubled kids and convicts – or he did, rather, before he had a debilitating stroke in 1990. And he's a pianist, as well. He used to perform, occasionally, during his readings, but since his stroke, he still plays the piano but only with one hand.
NEARY: Very multitalented. Did his training as a psychologist figure into his writing in any way?
ULABY: Yeah, he's interested in moments of self assessment, and the space between conscious thought and the subconscious. He was drawn to surrealist writers from an early age and his own work treads the line between wakefulness and dreams. He's a spellbinding and quite haunting poet. I'm going to read you this really short poem he wrote about getting into a car crash. OK.
(Reading) The approaching traffic had huge lights. They shown on me while I pulled at the wheel in a transparent terror that floated like egg whites. The seconds grew. There was space in them. They grew as big as hospital buildings.
NEARY: Wow, that's quite a poem - that idea of floating in egg white. So, he is the seventh European to win the Nobel Literature prize in the last 10 years. Has this Eurocentric focus drawn any criticism at all?
ULABY: Oh yes. Now, Transtromer, I think, deserved the prize. He's an extraordinary poet with a huge following here. He's good friends with Robert Bly and he's very influential, both in the United States and around the world. But it's hard not to think about the words of the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy a few years ago, when he criticized American writers for being too isolated and insular. After seven European writers being awarded the Nobel for Literature in 10 years, you have to wonder if those words might not be applied to the Swedish Academy itself.
NEARY: Well, thanks for joining us this morning, Neda.
ULABY: Thank you, Lynn.
NEARY: NPR's Neda Ulaby, talking with us about this year's winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. He is Swedish poet, Tomas Transtromer. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

text: Brazil beat brave Canada in Seattle May 31, 200812:00AM PDT Previous Next Canadian Press After pushing Brazil to the limit, a mistake late in the second half tripped up Canada's chances of upsetting the world's No. 2-ranked team in an exciting international soccer friendly in Seattle, Washington, on Saturday night. Forward Robinho, who assisted on Brazil's first two goals, pounced on Julian de Guzman's failed back pass and scored in the 63rd minute to give the five-time World Cup champions a 3-2 victory. De Guzman's mistake came just moments after he had pulled Canada into a 2-2 draw and put the possibility of a upset on the map. "I felt really down," de Guzman, who plays for Spanish club Deportivo La Coruna, said after the game. "We had the momentum and everything going for us. We could have gotten away with a win." Despite the loss, Canada had plenty to be happy over the game. The Canadians moved the ball well and played an innovative attacking style. The men weren't derailed when Brazil scored four minutes into the match Canada battled back and missed a couple scoring chances, including a breakaway in the first half, which could have turned the outcome of the game. "We performed well," said striker Dwayne de Rosario. "On another day…we could have come out with a tie or win. We had some good chances. "We performed well as a unit, as a team. The way we moved the ball, it was very refreshing." Diego, in the fourth minute, and Luis Fabiano in the 45th minute also scored for Brazil. Forward Rob Friend, who plays for Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany, scored Canada's other goal in the 10th minute. Canada now has a record of 0-2-2 against Brazil. Coach Dale Mitchell said he was proud of the fight his side showed. "To go a goal down in the third or fourth minute, it would have been easy to concede a lot more," said Mitchell. "We had a great response. "There was certainly more chances for us to get a little more from the game. In general, I was pleased with our performance and the way we played football. We played some good stuff, kept the ball on the ground and created opportunities." Brazilian coach Dunga said it was 'no surprise' Canada played so well. "They are a very disciplined team," he said. "They have two or three plays they execute well and they scored on one of them." He praised Robinho, who was a thorn in the Canadian side all night. "Every time he comes to play," said Dunga, who played for Brazil when they won the 1994 World Cup. "(Robinho) plays with motivation and passes that happiness onto his teammates." Canada, ranked 62nd by FIFA, trailed 2-1 at the half, but easily could have led 3-2. Brazil flexed its muscles early. Robinho undressed two Canadian defenders then slid a soft pass over to Diego, who plays for Werder Bremen of the German Bundesliga. He launched a shot from 12 yards out that found the far corner of the net, just out of the reach of Canadian goalkeeper Pat Onstad's outstretched fingers. The early goal seemed to wake up Canada. The Canadian fans in the crowd of 47,052 at Qwest Field got something to cheer about in the 10th minute when defender Mike Klukowski lifted a long shot into the box. Friend out leaped Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar and headed the ball into the net. Canada missed a glorious scoring chance in the 24th minute when midfielder Issey Nakajima-Farran had a clear breakaway. With Cesar beaten, Nakajima-Farran chipped the ball wide. De Guzman also had a chance in the 32nd minute, blasting a shot from about 22 yards out that Cesar managed to stop. Brazil pulled ahead in the 45th minute when Robinho sent a pass to Fabiano, who headed the ball at the net. Onstad managed to stop the shot, but the ball rolled past him and into the net. Brazil played without marquee players Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Kaka. The country still managed to field a team that had seven players who played in the last World Cup. A river of bright yellow Brazil jerseys flowed through the stands at Qwest Field, home of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks. The loud and proud Brazilian fans waved flags, banged drums and thumped tambourines. Some Canadian fans, wearing red and white and waving Maple Leafs, battled to make their presence known.

Fulham were held to a 1-1 draw by a strong Real Betis side in the Whites' penultimate pre-season friendly of the summer at Craven Cottage on Monday night.
The Whites took the lead in the 13th minute when Steve Sidwell met Bryan Ruiz's corner to nod powerfully home.
But Betis levelled 10 minutes into the second half when Nosa Igiebor fired home from close range.
Bryan Ruiz saw strong penalty claims waved away and Hugo Rodallega also saw an effort disallowed for offside as the Whites had to settle for a share of the spoils against their Spanish counterparts.
Martin Jol named a strong starting XI for the fixture including the three summer signings of Maarten Stekelenburg, Fernando Amorebieta and Derek Boateng. Stekelenburg was named between the sticks, behind a back four of Sascha Riether, Brede Hangeland, Amorebieta and Kieran Richardson. The midfield consisted of Ruiz, Sidwell, Boateng and Ashkan Dejagah, with Dimitar Berbatov and Rodallega up front.
After a frantic start, Stekelenburg raced off his line to beat Verdu to a throughball early on, before the first opening of the game for Fulham came in the 10th minute when Dejagah played Rodallega in down the left. The striker cut inside but seemed to get caught in two minds, eventually electing to pass to Ruiz, with a Betis defender getting in to nip the ball off the Costa Rican's toes.
Fulham were in front in the 13th minute, though. After Rodallega had seen a free-kick deflected just wide, Ruiz's resulting corner was met by the unmarked Sidwell on the edge of the six-yard box and the midfielder headed powerfully into the far corner to give the hosts the lead.
Rodallega saw a shot deflected wide in the 32nd minute after Riether's scuffed cross had only been cleared as far as the Fulham forward, while a rare Betis effort saw Juanfran's speculative drive go well over. On the stroke of half-time, Verdu met Javier Chica's corner but his header was off target.
There were no changes by Jol for the start of the second half and the Whites found themselves back on level terms in the 54th minute when Igiebor bundled his way into the box, played a one-two with Juanfan and fired past Stekelenburg from six yards.
Less than 60 seconds later Fulham felt they should have had a penalty when Ruiz appeared to be tripped in the box, only for referee Lee Probert to award the visitors a free-kick and hold a lengthy conversation with the Whites star.
Stekelenburg then did well to hold a fierce Verdu shot, before Rodallega turned home a Riether cross on the hour mark only to be ruled offside. On 65 minutes the impressive Dejagah made way for Damien Duff. Boateng and Rodallega were replaced by Giorgos Karagounis and Buomesca Tue Na Bangna respectively shortly afterwards.
Pajtim Kasmi was introduced for Ruiz and Duff forced a good save from close range in the 81st minute when he met Berbatov's pull-back, before Betis substitute Braian Rodriguez blazed over at the other end. The same player then headed Chica's cross inches wide of the far post, before Riether was replaced by Aaron Hughes.
Karagounis almost grabbed a late winner when his drive from distance was pushed around the post by Stephan Andersen but a draw was a fair result.

Westhill falls short in rally against Danbury
Recommended Video:
STAMFORD--After trailing 11-2 entering the bottom of the fourth inning of its game against Danbury, the Westhill baseball team fought valiantly to get within striking distance and claim a victory over a FCIAC playoff hopeful.
However, the Hatters showed just enough mettle to fend off the hosts, outlasting Westhill 13-9 on Monday afternoon as the teams combined for 29 hits.
"Through four innings we swung the bats extremely well," Danbury coach Shaun Ratchford said. "It just seemed, pitching wise, we let (Westhill) off the hook. They did a good job for making us play for mistakes at the plate."
The Vikings' bats caught fire in the bottom of the sixth inning trailing 13-6. Westhill recorded five hits in the frame, including a two-run bloop single by Pete Horn that cut the deficit to 13-9 with two outs. With the lead quickly dissipating, Ratchford inserted starting pitcher Corey Brosz into the lineup. Brosz got Westhill's Sean Remondino, who was 3-for-3 with a walk at the time, to strike out looking with runners on second and third to end the threat.
"(Brosz) is one of our top pitchers; he throws extremely well," Ratchford said. "We were hoping we didn't have to use him today. We need to have another pitcher step up." Despite outhitting the visitors 16-13, Westhill (6-9, 6-7 FCIAC) fell up short due to numerous mistakes in the field and on the mound. The Vikings committed four errors, two balks and hit six Danbury batters.
Westhill threatened to get back into the game in the fifth inning trailing 11-4. Ryan Duggan, who went 3-for-4, led off with an inside-the-park home run. The Vikings would eventually load the bases with two outs and John Spoto hit a single to center that plated a runner. However, a second base runner attempted to score and was thrown out at home plate.
"It shows a lot of character that we were able to fight back and not give up," Westhill coach DJ Mulvany said. "If we capitalized on some situations late in the game it may have been tighter. For us to let it get to that point we didn't play clean baseball and Danbury took advantage of that. We had too many unforced errors, hit batters, balks; things like that."
Hatters' No. 9 hitter Eric Cerno was one of the major contributors to the offensive onslaught. The freshman went 3-for-4 and scored each time he got on base, helping set the tempo for the top of the order. Cerno cracked the starting lineup at second base due to an injury at the start of the season and is having a major impact on Danbury's (10-5, 9-4) success.
"(Cerno) had a great day at the plate," Ratchford said. "The kid has done a great job at second base; we put him down in the order so there's not a lot of pressure. He fits in well with the guys and he deserves credit; he works his tail off."
The Vikings have lost four of five since winning four straight and their FCIAC playoff hopes appear to be fading. Westhill needs to win two of its final five games to qualify for the class LL state tournament.
"We're going to need the bats down the stretch these last five games," Mulvany said. "Over this stretch we're not playing clean baseball. We're either solid offensively and making mental mistakes. We need to be clicking on all cylinders down the stretch to get a couple of much-needed wins."
Danbury 13, Westhill 9
Records: Danbury 10-5, 9-4 FCIAC, Westhill 6-9, 6-7. Batteries: D--Dan Clancy (W), Justin Kenny, George Bielizna, Corey Brosz and Mike Schweitzer; W--Ryan Duggan (L), Pete Dawson, Dalton Abel and Joey DePreta. Highlights: D--Eric Cerno went 3-for-4 with a double and three runs scored. Ricky Flannery went 2-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored. Justin Calitro went 1-for-3 with a walk, triple and 4 RBI. W--Sean Remondino went 3-for-4 with a walk. Duggan went 3-for-4 with a home run.

Anna Hazare: Will not vote for Aam Aadmi Party
Hazare has earlier said that he will support the party if it fields honest candidates and that will campaign for Kejriwal if he fights against Kapil Sibal.
Last Updated: Dec 06, 2012, 09.09 PM IST
NEW DELHI: Blaming Arvind Kejriwal's fascination for power for split in anti-graft movement, Anna Hazare today said he will not vote for the Aam Aadmi Party charging that it is going the same way as others by taking the path of 'money through power' and vice versa.
Asked whether his former aide has become "greedy" for power, the 75-year-old activist said, "It was right".
"I thought I will (vote for AAP) but now I find it difficult because it is being seen that it is moving towards the path of 'money through power and power through money', I will not be anywhere near them," he said at a session of a two-day programme 'Agenda' organised by a news channel.
He was responding to a question whether he will vote for AAP, the party formed by Kejriwal after his split with Hazare on the question of the anti-corruption movement taking a political plunge.
Hazare has earlier said that he will support the party if it fields honest candidates and that will campaign for Kejriwal if he fights against Union Minister Kapil Sibal.
Asked whether Kejriwal has become greedy for power and it resulted in the split, Hazare said, "This is right. Earlier I used to think that Arvind is into selfless service. But I don't understand how this thought of entering politics came into his mind."
He also agreed to a question it was Kejriwal's political ambition that led to the split.
"A movement was on for the first time after independence for system change. People were coming out. I thought a good movement has been evolved. There was a feeling that this will earn results. But at that time, I don't understand, how such a thinking came into his mind," Hazare said.
He said there was a need for unity in the fight for system change and against corruption among all including Kejriwal, Swami Ramdev and others.
"This revolution is not complete. We need to stand united. We all, Ramdev, Arvind, all should fight together. Arvind faltered on way. Ramdev also should severe links with communal organisations," he said.
On Narendra Modi, he said that there were a lot of corruption in Gujarat and as Chief Minister, he has not brought Lokayukta Bill in his state. "Why is he not bringing the bill? Everyone is into making money using power," he said.

7: p.m. We are on a little early tonight, in order to give me some time to catch up on course reading during the live blogging session. As always, I encourage you to join in through the comments section.
Polls will close in both Alabama and Mississippi in a bit more than an hour. But the first wave of exit polls have been released. Note that Romney hasn't won a state that has had more than 50% evangelical vote – tonight in Mississippi and Alabama the evangelical vote is overwhelming – 83% in Mississippi, and 79% in Alabama. Can he break the streak tonight?
By the way, for all the talk this year about SuperPacs and the outpouring of corporate cash in light of the Citizens United decision, the Washington Post reports yesterday that spending the Republican primary is down this year from previous campaigns. Longtime readers won't be surprised by this – when the economy is down, spending on most everything – including campaigns – goes down.
By the way, I'm watching CNN just to see Wolf hyperventilate when the results come in at 8 p.m.
Despite high number of evangelicals, however, exit polls indicate that the proportion of strong conservatives – although high – is lower than in Iowa, Oklahoma or Nevada. In both states it's closer to Tennessee and Georgia, at about 38% Alabama and 42% for Mississippi. Measnwhile the moderate/liberal vote is at 30% (Mississippi) and 31% (Alabama) – again close to the Tennessee/Georgia levels. Romney won 28% in Tennessee, and 26% in Georgia. The other thing to keep in mind that polls have underestimated Santorum's support in the southern border states. Romney won about 28% in Oklahoma as well, with a more conservative voting turnout. So we shouldn't be surprised to see Romney pull in 27-28% tonight.
One other interesting exit poll finding: 50% women turnout! That's one of the highest turnouts so far. Only Oklahoma was higher. That should favor Mitt – I think. He did slightly better (29%-27%) among women in Tennessee. Same in Georgia (26%-25%) and Oklahoma (29-28%). However, Santorum did much better among women in Oklahoma (38%-29%), while Newt did worse among women in that state.
I have no turnout numbers, but scanning talking heads, they are suggesting it is sparse in Mississippi.
While we are waiting I should mention the lack of attention paid on this site to national polls head-to-head matchups between Obama and the various Republican candidates. I ignore them because they are meaningless at this time – not even newsworthy.
Now CNN is serious – it's Wolf time! Also, is that James Earl Jones' voice that does the "This is CNN" intro? If so, that's cool!
By the way, exit polls indicate abortion was the most important issue for 11% of Alabama voters, and 10% of Mississippi – higher than in most previous states (but not as high as it was in Michigan) but not by much. The top issue for most voters (57% Alabama, 54% Mississippi) is the economy, followed by the federal budget deficit (24% Alabama, 28% Mississippi.) This is consistent with previous states – so again, the dominant issue for 3/4 of voters is the pocketbook.)
Polls close – and CNN cannot – I repeat! – cannot make a projection. Thanks Wolf!
But exit polls have Romney up with 35% in Mississippi – up 5% over Gingrich, while Santorum leads by 5% in Alabama.
CNN talking heads say if Newt finishes second, he is finished. But, in cliche #49, Anderson Cooper says Newt can "live off the land." I think Newt can live off anything, judging by his girth.
By the way, let's not forget 17 delegates at stake in Hawaii tonight with precinct caucuses there. An America Samoa selects 9 delegates who are, officially, unbound.
If Newt loses, it will be in part due to the gender gap. He's down among women in both states.
Remember, pre-election polls have understated Rick's support in some states. He's out performing some of them now. But the exit polls will be adjusted a bit as additional results come in. This could be a long night.
The curse of Marianne bites Newt! He's down 10% among women compared to men in Alabama, while Santorum is up 8% among women over men. Remember how Santorum was going to have a women problem due to his views on contraception? That was never the case, as I argued in previous posts. That gender split is similar to what we saw in Tennessee.
Meanwhile, Mitt once again wins the over 65 crowd – he's consistently done that throughout this campaign. He also sees his support in Alabama go up as one goes up the income ladder – he wins the over $100,000 income groups, with 36% of the vote.
Newt, meanwhile, gets crushed among married women in Alabama – he wins only 18% of their vote, compared to 37% of married men. Hell hath no fury….
In Alabama, among the 63% who support the Tea Party Santorum gets 36%, Gingrich 32% while Mitt only wins 26%. Again, the split between Santorum and Gingrich is hurting both of them. Either one would crush Mitt here – instead, he might pull it out.
By the way, CNN talking heads have finally realized that both Mississippi and Alabama are open primaries. Note that in Alabama turnout included 6% Democrats and 25% independents. In Mississippi the numbers are 4% Democrat and 16% independents.
We get similar results in Mississippi. Newt's support among married men is 13% higher than among married women. Mitt, meanwhile, sees his support increase as one goes up the income ladder in this state as well. And once again, Mitt loses Tea Party supporters vote to both Santorum and Gingrich, although he within 1% of Santorum's support. TP was 66% of total turnout.
Media narratives are fascinating things. So far there's no evidence whatsoever that Mitt has expanded his coalition, yet if he wins either state because of a split between Mitt and Rick, pundits are going to say it shows he can win in the South! He won about 30% of evangelicals in Mississippi, and 27% of this group in Alabama – finishing behind Santorum and Gingrich in both groups.
To his credit, John King is acknowledging that winning is about "bragging rights" – won't have a big impact on the delegate race.
Note also that in Alabama you don't get delegates at the congressional district level if you finish third, but in Mississippi you do. So you want to be at tleast second in each congressional district in Alabama.
One thing I am sure of: Ron Paul is going to lose, and he is going to give a speech about the Constitution.
Uh, oh. Gergen is off and running on if Mitt wins, it will be a big win. The reality is this race is so close, it's not going to change anything regarding the delegates total or the relative standing of the candidates. Gergen is also going off on the contraceptive issue. How that is driving women to the Democrats. Guess what David – Santorum is doing better among women than men in both states.
This is where my basic ignorance of the political terrain in Mississippi and Alabama prevents me from having any idea how to interpret where the votes are likely to come from, and for whom. I hate to say it, but I'm relying on John King's analysis in this regard.
Slow count, particularly in Alabama. Some of the Twitter feeds are suggesting Romney can't win Alabama based on current returns, but I think this is premature. One thing is certain: if Santorum wins both states, Wolf will be at high decibel form in loudly proclaiming that this is a two man race. But if Santorum loses both states to Newt by 1%, media narrative will change dramatically. In short, even though a shift of 1-2% in the vote won't really matter, in terms of the media narrative it could be huge. In contrast, Hawaii and American Samoa may prove more significant tonight in terms of padding Mitt's delegate lead than will Alabama or Mississippi!
With about 20% of the Alabama vote in, Santorum leads Newt by about 5,000 votes. I have to think they are drawing from the same area, so it will be hard for Newt to make this up. However, I won't be surprised if Mitt can close the gap based on bigger urban areas coming in late. But that's a guess….
Just a reminder – if Mitt remains third in Alabama in the congressional districts, he doesn't pick up any delegates. So that's a total loss of 7 delegates, out of a total 21 district delegates, and 26 at large.
Romney is slightly underperforming the preelection polls, but doing about as well as he did in Tennessee, Oklahoma and Georgia – right around the 28% level.
Apparently NBC is projecting that Santorum will win Alabama – wait for the overreaction from the pundits! If Santorum wins Mississippi too the media will come down hard on Mitt. He is almost better off if Newt wins in Mississippi, and thus stakes a claim for staying in.
Story of the night is that Mitt is underperforming pre-election polls, and exit polls, but doing about as well as he did in Tennessee, Georgia and Oklahoma.
But keep in mind – even if Mitt finishes third in Mississippi, it is so close that he'll earn almost as many delegates as Rick and Newt – but the media is going to overlook this.
When we factor in American Samoa and Hawaii, Mitt may be the winner tonight in delegates. But John King is already telling us that if Rick wins both states, "we have a very different race." No, we don't.
The spectator in me wants Rick to win both states, just to see media overreact. Wait – get the paddles out! Wolf is projecting that Rick takes Alabama.
At this point if I'm Rick I offer the VP slot to Newt.
Folks- get ready: we are going to have a huge divergence between the media narrative after tonight and the political science narrative if Santorum wins Mississippi too. The political science narrative is that nothing much has changed. The media narrative is that it is a whole new ballgame.
Smart move by Santorum to come on now, while there's still an audience – and before potential loss in Mississippi potentially steps on his narrative.
I think Santorum is going to take Mississippi as well – he's up a bit more than 3,000 votes with 95% in.
Rick needs to start looking ahead to Missouri caucuses – give it a shout out.
We go to Missouri on Thursday, then Puerto Rico, and then Illinois a week from now – at that point almost 50% of the delegates will be allocated.
Fox calls Mississippi for Rick Santorum – if that's true, he sweeps tonight. Cue the doom-and-gloom Romney can't close the deal media narrative. I can't say I'm displeased – it means the race will go on!
And now Wolf confirms! I can't wait for the media explosion tomorrow….poor Mitt!
In fact, Mitt is going to win 30% in Mississippi – his best performance in a southern state so far. but all for naught, according to the media.
Newt is on – but given the gender gap that likely cost him tonight, he needs to tell Callista to step it up.
Newt is on – will he step down? Not likely! He points out that his delegate haul will be "substantial" – in fact it will be close to Rick's. And he takes time to take a shot at the "elite" media. Newt has to make nice to Rick, in case he has to strike a deal. At this point I expect Newt to stay in at least through Louisiana.
This is a very revealing speech. Newt is making it clear that at this point his goal is to prevent Mitt from clinching the delegate race before the convention – but note that he avoids taking on Rick and in fact speaks of himself and Rick as allies of a sort.
When will we hear from Mitt? Not tonight! He's going to wait for the Hawaii and American Samoa results and then he'll proclaim delegate victory.
That's it for tonight folks. Not much happened to change the delegate math – but a whole lot happened to change the media spin. And it raises the question whether the media narrative can influence events from here on out. Mitt has to hope Newt stays in – and I think he will until at least Louisiana votes. I'll be on tomorrow for the post-mortem. thanks again for all your participation….
Final point: if this isn't support for my Operation Brokered Convention – I don't know what is. Spread the word!
Why don't the pundits push Ron Paul to drop out?
And let's leave on this comment from CNN's Erin Burnett: "men don't know how to wear blue jeans". OK.

Infielder Nix joins Phillies in time for opener
ARLINGTON -- Jayson Nix didn't have to travel far to join the Phillies for Opening Day on Monday.
Nix lives about 30 minutes outside Dallas, so when the Rays traded him to the Phillies on Friday for cash considerations, he flew home from Port Charlotte, Fla., where the Rays hold Spring Training.
Nix had an out clause in his contract that said he could ask for his release if he was not on Tampa Bay's Opening Day roster. He was not going to make the Rays, but the Phillies needed a backup shortstop while Freddy Galvis is on the disabled list recovering from MRSA.
"I thought they might be a possibility," Nix said. "I talked to them a little bit in the offseason, so I knew it was possible. But you never know about those things."
Nix's brother, Laynce, played for the Phillies from 2012-13, so the newest Phillie is somewhat familiar with the organization.

Fluttering butterflies are so beautiful to watch because they always look like they are dancing in air. I absolutely love butterflies and because of that I wanted to do a tutorial on "how to draw a cartoon butterfly" step by step. I also received a few request to do a lesson on a cartoon style butterfly as well, but I never got around to fulfill the request until now. I drew a very simple, colorful, and beautiful insect that will be well liked all over the DragoArt website. Well, at least I hope it will…XD. Anyways, this tutorial is going to be very easy to complete because there is really nothing to it. As I said before, once you get used to drawing cartoon characters and or animals, starting the process is simple. All you have to do is read the instructions, put your hand and pencil to the paper, and draw. I think you will have a blast with this one, teaching yourself "how to draw a cartoon butterfly" will enable you to draw better, brighter, bugs in the future. I had a lot of fun sketching out this cartoon insect, I mean I always have a blast whenever I draw butterflies, or anything else pretty. I have to go but as you know I shall return. Have fun guys with this lesson and be sure to keep a lookout for more to come. Peace out and happy drawing.

Colorado's elderly are facing dire cuts due to the sequester
By Jennifer Schaufele
Guest Commentary
We've all heard so much about the recent federal budget action known as sequester, yet it seems some are tuning out its dire effects. Sequester reduced funding in the Older Americans Act (OAA) at a time when the nation's senior citizen population is rapidly growing. Service cuts include Meals on Wheels, rides to appointments like dialysis, and in-home assistance for the elderly. Ironically, in the instance of OAA funds, this debt-reducing measure will actually cost taxpayers more than it saves.
Sequester triggered $1.5 trillion across-the-board cuts, but the first cut won't be the deepest. Future cuts will be more severe and continue for nine years. In addition to sequester, the budget action includes another $1 trillion in cuts expected to be initiated later this year. Unlike sequester, however, these cuts will be made at the discretion of Congressional committees and will be devastating to seniors if Congress reaches its $1 trillion goal by limiting cuts to only the non-defense areas of the budget.

Look Ma, the system of checks and balances does work! After passing both the state House and Senate, Utah governor John Huntsman vetoed a bill that would make it a crime to sell mature-rated games to underage consumers. While the bill sounds noble, the fine print imposed strict penalties on retailers, and as a concession, actually allowed them to opt-out from using ratings altogether. As such, the bill was largely viewed as pointless legislation.
"While protecting children from inappropriate materials is a laudable goal, the language of this bill is so broad that it likely will be struck down by the courts as unconstitutional," Huntsman said after his decision. "The unintended consequence of the bill would be that parents and children would have no labels to guide them in determining the age appropriateness of the goods or service."
After the bill started gaining momentum in the state legislature, retailers responded by saying they would simply use a loophole in the bill to avoid civil penalties of up to $2,000. By simply removing the Entertainment Software Ratings Board labels from games, they would not suffer penalties because they would not be advertising guidance when selling mature-rated games.
The ESRB, which lobbied heavily to have the bill vetoed, was pleased with the decision. "This is an absolute win for families," said ratings president Michael Gallagher. "Utah's parents will benefit from Governor Huntsman's leadership and thoughtfulness on this issue. His decisive action helps caregivers and prevents businesses from being opened to unproductive, wasteful civil litigation and needless expense."
Under Utah law, the bill will now return to the legislative branch, where it can be further amended to satisfy the governor's objections. If they desire, however, both the state house and senate can override the governor's veto and force the bill into law with a two-thirds majority revote. Both the house and senate approved the bill by more than two-thirds majority the first time.
Representative Mike Morley (R) of the Utah House, who sponsored the bill, has not made it known if he plans to veto the veto with a second vote. In the event he does and it successfully passes, the courts would likely deem the current bill unconstitutional, as Governor Huntsman is aware.

John Ladbury and Company are delighted to have produced and installed the main family kitchen and additional furniture, in collaboration with Macdonald Wright architects, in the RIBA house of the year competition, as featured on channel 4 Grand Designs with Kevin McCloud. The country house is designed to reflect the history of Kent in the four oast house towers that interconnect with the main house. The architects took into consideration the environment and the landscape using local Kent clay, and sweet chestnut boarding for the exterior to ensure that it blended in with the Kent skyline.
The contemporary designed family kitchen was produced in European character oak, with handle-less doors and drawers, complimenting the integral design of the house. The owners are delighted with their kitchen and we, at John Ladbury and Company, are thrilled to have been part of this prestigious project.

LaughingCavalier necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 146 diseños de 42 diseñadores freelance.
Looking to revamp and refresh our existing logo. We are fundamentally happy with the logo we already have, but the time is right to freshen things up a bit, and we are open to new ideas.
NB Communication
NB Communication Ltd is a web design and Internet marketing agency based in the Shetland Islands, Scotland.
On 1st April 2008, the business became a limited company - NB Communication Ltd. This was a significant change for the businees, and it is felt that this is an appropriate time to re-vamp the logo.
Note: until 1st April 2008, the business name was all lower case - 'nb communication', as in the existing logo. Now, this has changed to 'NB Communication Ltd' (or just 'NB Communication' in some circumstances). The text of the new logo must reflect this.
Download our existing logo here.
1. Text:
The text should be 'NB Communication', with 'N', 'B' and 'C' is capital letters, and the rest in lower case.
2. Typography:
The new logo should have strong, bold typography. We like the text (although not always the colours) in these logos:
Generally, we prefer the text style that is referred to as 'The Classics' in this article:
3. Icon:
We like the icon between "nb" and "communication" in the current logo, but we think it could be revamped and improved.
We are open to all your ideas for refreshing or replacing the icon.
We are also keen to see ideas for the placement of the icon - it does not necessarily have to be between 'NB' and 'Communication'.
Also, the current logo is very flat (i.e. 2D). We would like to see some ideas for giving our logo a bit more 'depth'.
4. Colours:
We are happy with our current red / white / grey colour scheme but we would like to see new ways to apply this to the logo to make it generally fresher and more striking. That said, we are not completely closed to completely new colour ideas either, so feel free to propose ideas that are different to what we have already.
5. General Considerations:
The logo must make NB Communication Ltd appear as a solid, professional and very dependable company.
6. Deliverable
The deliverable for this project shall be a suite of logo files in different formats (including resizable vector format) enabling us to immediately use the logo as and when required both online and offline, and also to use it at different sizes in future.
7. Feedback:
We welcome all your ideas, and will strive to provide meaningful feedback quickly.
Dont' use ALL CAPITALS ... only the 'N', 'B' and 'C' should be capitalised.

STOP Teaching Setting
After the dialogue from my blog called "Stop Teaching Passing" - I felt as this junior season starts up that it is important to give all you teachers of the game a few more titles to chew on. What in gosh sakes am I saying here, when I spent last season teaching my kids a 6-3 system, so half of my 14ers were learning how to set? That a previous season "middle blocker" not only was one of those setters but also made the varsity team is part of the reason for this title, but there is lots more than that of course.
This time I am challenging you all to think on two large fronts – the first is to not allow your younger players to believe or even call themselves "a setter." We must remain true to the concept of teaching players to be all around players as juniors, good at all the skills – not just "setting." Decrease the pass-set-hit drills where just the "setters" on your team set the ball, and make EVERY player set for a part of practice. Have every player hit…THEN SET…then go get the ball. It is humorous how many repetitions it takes for a "hitter" to stop chasing the ball like some Pavlovian dog and instead hit, then set, THEN go get the ball. Equally important however in this concept is that we want "setters" to also think of themselves as hard working, hustling diggers, and hitters, and if their height allows, blockers. Not all hitters can block, but all setters CAN and MUST hit. It is sad, and senseless to cross paths at training camps with kids who say they are only a setter, and have never hit. Of course all setters must also be effective, aggressive, intimidating servers, regardless of their height. Other volleyball nations get this well, with Canada implementing a LTAD – Long Term Athlete Development – model for many sports. This info has been shared by free webinar last season and will be woven more into our own IMPACT teaching this year.
The biggest part of the concept we must understand and teach is this – stop teaching setting and start teaching HOW TO RUN AN OFFENSE.
This is again NOT a play on words; it is a very important and not well understood part of teaching the GAME of volleyball, not the techniques of the game. With young players, you must start at the very beginning to teach them not just how to set, but what, where, when, what and why to set the other five teammates.
Even in the doubles games, these principles apply, as you set the only attacker you have, determining the best option of the five "Ws" that guide your teaching of setting an offense. Why five when there is only one teammate? As the "who" (or maybe mom would tell me to say "whom" here, but that does not fit the poem…) really in setting an offense might be the setter – dumping, shooting, or attacking on the second ball.
I have a sign in my office that I give to every new intern working for me over the last 25 years. It is a quote that fits into today's blog, by none other than Ralph Waldo Emerson again.
I have six friends
That serve me true
Their names are What, Where, Why,
How, When and Who.
I ask each intern to make sure these six friends have been checked with, before they turn a document or a request into me. We both save time and reduce errors when these friends are covered.
The same thing happens for learning HOW to set an offense – these five "W"s should to be checked at the start of each rally.
Where are the opponent's best blockers and my best hitters in this rotation?
What are my front row hitters favorite or likely most successful set options.
Who is my safety valve hitter if passes go awry? Are they front row or is the best option back row for this rotation?
When should I most likely set them in this rally, first ball side out attempt or in transition?
Who has the best match up, blocker vs my front/back row teammates?
Why did they succeed in the last rotation(s), game, tourney, practices?
These decisions evolve from having to think about it, to being able to do it, and make the best choices, without as much thought, but with more art and game sense. It is no different from the evolution of a quarterback, who at younger levels runs a simpler offense, which gets more complex at high school, college and then the pro level. The main difference in volleyball and football is the speed and size of the players as you move up in age and level. Cody I just dropped off at Princeton for his frosh year – but this summer I got to spend some time with a classmate of his, Ryan, who will be the school's varsity hockey goalie. I asked Ryan one time, what is the biggest difference for him as he has moved up the ranks to being a top level netminder. His answer was the same – speed and size. The principles do not change and the sooner you teach them to the kids seeking to run your offense as the setters, the better. As teammates develop in their attacking skills over the season, the choices evolve, the playsets become more complex, the options more varied.
I will say again, we MUST start teaching our player at a far earlier age than we do now, to play on the right side of the court. We develop kids so long just hitting the left side, that when I do grills (aka gamelike drills) where players are choosing to attack zones four, three and two – only 10 percent of the kids will give zone two any time for spiking. That also means our setters have a vastly more limited offense to run – and we have athletes who cannot either set to zone two, or attack from that side of the court. PLEASE start with more "front/back" grills so the players learn to attack BACK row first, from both the left side AND the right side.
Other guiding principles for running your offense need to be shared, especially that of "bettering the ball." This is a cornerstone concept for ALL who put up the second ball in the offense, whether they be the intended setter, or a teammate who answers the call of "HELP!" and then steps in to set. Who, where, even how concepts need to be guide and taught – for it is better to set a hittable ball with a bump set, then to "set" a ball with one's hands, only to see it not make it high and/or far enough in the air for a teammate to jump and crank on the ball.
The person running the offense must first put up a hittable ball. Nothing is more important. Secondly, it should go to the best hitter for the options available – considering factors such as where the ball is passed to and the positions of the opponent's best blockers in that specific rotation, etc. If a hittable ball can be set to more than one option – then the setter can become "tricky," but not without the first two concepts being achievable.
The person(s) running the offense are key to any team's success, as they touch every second ball. They should be good athletes, able to pursue and improve any pass. They must be creative, not patterned by some blocked drill to look good in warm up but unable to set anything that is out of system. Remember, for the majority of teams, your offensive system is likely to be more "out of system" than "in system" – as your players grow in their serve reception and defensive system skill sets. While covered before, the ability of every player to set, and to jump and attack from any part on or off the court, is vital, and best learned in random training, not blocked. I find most players in the world are able to run their offense to zone four must more successfully than to zone two – not because it is harder to set behind, but simply due to the fact that about 85% of the training is done towards zone four, only infrequently backset/trained behind.
So ask your team this question at the next practice…who delivered the gold medal point set in Bejing for the USA men? I doubt they, and even maybe you reading this, know that it was Ryan Millar, the middle blocker for the team and the setter on the cover of our free USAV Minivolley book. Lloy Ball ran the team offense, wonderfully well in his fourth Olympics, but in the end, the final set choice was properly made by a person who also knew both the skill of setting, and more importantly, how to run the offense at that moment. So learning to be on the offensive, even after a bad reception where the "setter" must call for help, your players all should know the right setting options within varying levels of play.
Lately there has been more attention to Brazil's training. I suggest some of you take advantage of the information shared half a decade ago, in the 2007 Volleyball in the Schools Symposium. http://kinesiology.usask.ca/fivbschoolvolleyball/presentedMaterial.php There, three experts came in – Toyoda from Japan, Ivstan on LTAD from Canada, and yours truly. Then many federations, led off by Brazil's presentation followed… Brazil understands well the importance of all around players, and they put their words into action by requiring ALL teams playing 6 vs 6 nationally and below, to run a 6-6, from the ages of under 15. Each player sets from either zones 1,2 or 3. Imagine what a gift we would give our own junior's player development to have our own national championships to be played with mandatory 6-6 offense. I think it is worth implementing at your club level, even if you feel you can't at the scholastic level for various reasons.
I would like to thank Laurel Brassey Iverson, who remains a dear friend, for her help over our years together in getting me understand how to run an offense. As a member of both the 1980 boycott Olympic team, and the 1988 Olympic women's team, she put up ball after hittable ball, no matter how challenging the pass came in, and lead the team with her spirit and saavy. welcome your comments and thoughts below, or directly at firstname.lastname@example.com on this edition of "STOP Teaching __________" Next up ? I will look at serving…

In the link from 2007, there is a DVD referenced in your presentation on "skills and drills for kids". Is that available? I am a parent coach of a great group of kids playing in a U12 rec league and think that is a fantastic resource. Thanks

John, Here's another quote for your collection: "...I am a terrible blocker. I've never been a good blocker, no matter how hard I worked on it. It's a hard skill and just wasn't good at it. Pick a guy or girl that can set your team, who puts hittable balls up and knows how to run an offense, who keeps your team in rythmn even when the passing is bad, who knows how to streak hitters, knows how to quick set off the net. It doesn't matter if they are 5'8" or 6'8". You know, we have this thing where we have to be a great blocker, you have to be a great server, she has to play good defense. All that doesn't make any difference if you can't side out. Once I really worked on that and learned about strategy and how to stay one step ahead of the middle blockers and how to set an offense - that is the biggest thing. - Loy Ball - The Net Live 4/11/2011

Since the move to iOS6 and the botched rollout of Apple Maps, iPhone owners have been looking back fondly at life with Google. Many users intend to switch back if and when a rumored Google Maps app ever shows up in the App Store, but if Google can deliver superior maps, why not consider them for your phone's other functions? As an experiment, I've spent the past several weeks relying completely on Chrome and Gmail iOS apps rather than the built-in Safari and Mail.
After five years of iPhone use, I'd grown accustomed to how those basic functions of the phone worked, and the difference with Google apps was surprising. Today, I'll run down some of the unexpected pros and cons to help you decide whether you need a bit more Google in your Apple.
At face value, Chrome and Safari don't appear to be wildly different from each other. The former has navigation up top while the latter has it on the bottom, but Chrome does offer a few improvements. The most immediately noticeable is Chrome's UI, which allows you to grab and slide the edge of the iPhone's screen to quickly switch tabs. The grab-and-slide seems perfectly calibrated as I never once accidentally switched tabs, yet also never had trouble activating the feature.
Digging into Chrome's menu reveals a treasure trove of additional features. First off is "request desktop site" mode, which solves a prominent pet peeve of mobile browser users. No more fishing around for those tiny annoying "desktop mode" links hidden at the bottom of pages.
Another great Chrome feature is the sharing of bookmarks and open tabs across devices. Phones are great for quickly browsing social media, but aren't optimal devices for reading long-form journalism. The catch-22 is that social media tends to be a constant stream of shared reading material links. Safari added its "reading list" feature last year, but that still leaves you coming back to read a long article on your iPhone screen.
Opening your links from social media in Chrome is going to require the inconvenience of cut and paste, but you'll reap the benefits of reading on a large screen later. If you don't mind using a separate read-it-later service such as Instapapr or Readbility, those may be superior options, but Chrome comes on top in a direct comparison to Safari.
The last great feature of Chrome is the incognito browsing mode. You may or may not have a use for this, but when the situation arises that you want to visit a few websites without leaving a trail, you'll appreciate the convenience of not having to clear out your history and cookies.
There are downsides to the Safari-to-Chome switch, though. For one, phone numbers won't be automatically linked to your phone app, so no more instant calling. Most of us barely use our phones as actual phones anymore (I use less than an hour each month), but that last remaining bit of voice chat does tend to be quick convenience calls to business you just looked up.
Chrome also has some issues with iterating on search terms. Since there is only one field for both searching and URLs, Chrome replaces your search terms with the URL as soon as you hit go. The Google page itself has its own search box, with your search history included as a drop-down, but once you've moved on to browsing another page there is no easy way to hit the search bar and tweak a word or two.
While Chrome and Safari may have seemed similar at face value, Gmail and Mail aren't even close. Right off the bat, Gmail is simply easier to use due to its superior view for threaded email conversations. Search is much faster as well, as it hits your entire archive in one shot, not just your 50 most recent messages.
There are both pros and cons with emailing photos, but ultimately Gmail does have an edge. The inconvenience is that the share-by-mail button in iOS's Photos app won't work if you don't have an email address active in Apple's Mail app. However, composing a new message in Gmail allows you to attach as many photos as you want, so it's more a matter of re-training yourself where to go when you want to email some pictures.
It's also nice to see that Google's iOS apps play nicely together. The most common downside to switching from Apple to Google apps is that the integration with other iOS apps can break down, but Gmail supports opening links in Chrome by default.
The only real downside to Gmail is its performance with low signal. When a push notification of a new email comes through, the message doesn't automatically download in the background. The download triggers when you next bring up the Gmail app, which can cause delays in low-signal areas, or even worse, hold your messages hostage if you happen to have no signal.
In switching my iPhone over to Chrome and Gmail, I moved both apps right into the bottom row of icons and stashed Mail and Safari in a folder hidden back on page six. It's safe to say that they'll be staying there, as after a few weeks of using both Google apps, I've grown pretty comfortable with the bevy of new features they've offered me.
Apple may have a reputation as the company that can do no wrong, but they've had no shortage of recent stumbles given the bug-ridden Maps, a poorly-received iTunes Match service, and their admission of failure with music social network Ping. These days, it's worth exploring your options. Sometimes, a company can come along and beat Apple at its own game, even on its own hardware.
