Ann Napolitano author interview
On the surface, Ann Napolitano's third recently released novel, "Dear Edward," about a 12-year-old boy's life after losing his entire family in a plane crash of which he was the sole survivor, could seem to be intense and depressing. Surprisingly and wonderfully it is anything but. The story is not about disaster and death, but rather about lives prior to death, and restoring hope and rebuilding a life in the face of insurmountable loss. Writing this is not a spoiler. The crash takes place at the onset of the novel and is referenced to on the book's jacket. It isn't a twist mid-way or story's conclusion. It is the catalyst for a graceful and heartfelt story, with an endearing and memorable character. One morning, Edward, his brother and parents and 183 other passengers board a plane from New York to California. Before safely landing in LAX for their new life there, their plane crashes just outside of Denver, claiming the lives of everyone except young Edward. His survival story mystifies the nation as well as it does him.
While he and his aunt and uncle try to keep him out of the public eye, he tries navigate and justify his life without his family. The novel primarily focuses on Edward's now seemingly simple suburban life in New Jersey with his "new family," it reveals the complexity of grief and the role that a community, no matter how big or small, can help put the pieces together. Napolitano also gingerly weaves in the stories of some of the individual passengers through flashback chapters. With it, we see that there weren't just victims onboard, but humans with lives leading up to that fateful excursion. The book covers six years, post-crash, straddling between Edward's story - his internalized struggles, his relationships, his eventual contact with family members of the crash victims, his growth - and the passengers in lead up to the eventual disaster. The result is a richly layered story that is as sweetly sorrowful as it is hopeful and delightful.
"Dear Edward" was January 2020 selection for the prestigious Book Passage (Corte Madera, CA) First Edition Club (FEC), which includes over 300 members. I recently had the opportunity give the author introduction at the related FEC book event in honor of Ms. Napolitano and "Dear Edward." Just prior to the event, I sat down with her to discuss her literary achievement.
PF: Although "Dear Edward" is a work of fiction, it was inspired by a similar true story. Can you explain more about this inspiration?
AN: I became obsessed with a story that was in the news in 2010. There was a flight that was from South Africa bound for London and it crashed in Lybia. It was a full commercial flight made up mostly of Dutch citizens. There was only one survivor of the crash, a nine-year-old Dutch boy. Everyone, including his brother and parents had died instantly. I couldn't read enough about it and him and had a hard time imagining how he could go forward and live. In setting out to write the novel, it was a matter of creating a set of circumstances in which that little boy could be okay in world that was kind enough to allow that rebuilding to happen.
PF: Beyond that particular real life tragedy, what sort of research did you do for the novel?
AN: I am a nervous flyer and I never thought I'd ever write about a plane crash. It's really because I became obsessed with this story, and felt like it was one I had to tell. I didn't know anything so I spoke to a career pilot and read numerous National Transportation Safety Board reports and black box recordings. I wanted to make sure that aspect of the novel was not sensationalized, but accurate and true. For Edward's healing in the hospital, I did research recovery from that kind of trauma.
PF: Despite your attraction to the story and character, was there any hesitancy to broach a subject that included a plane crash? Was there a concern that readers might make assumptions and judgements before event reading?
AN: No, because I always assume no one is going to read what I write any way, it's not going to sell. Given that, I could just write the story I wanted to tell, without thinking about the endgame or reader's reactions. I wouldn't want to read a book about a plane crash, so it had to not be about a plane crash in order for me to live in that world for eight years. Because everybody goes through challenging situations or sadness that feels impossible to overcome, so in that the themes are universal.
PN: What was the eight year writing journey for you like?
AN: I was immersed in it the whole time and it actually was the most joyful writing experience of my life even though I was in a place of trauma and sadness. I believe it's because the people who step forward for Edward were so kind. That created a world of best intentions. Plus, writing is something I have to do any way. If I don't write I get depressed. It's sort of a mental health practice for me, so a long time ago I learned how to detach the results from the process. Those eight years with this book, I was doing what I have to do any way.
PN: What's on your nightstand, what are you reading?
AN: Recent books I love include Kevin Wilson's "Nothing to See Here," and "The Dutch House" by Ann Patchett.
PN: Who are the writers that influenced you, past or present?
AN: When I was younger it was Henry James and Raymond Carver's short stories, and "The Song of Solomon" by Toni Morrison.
PN: Do you ever re-read books? If so, who do you go back to?
AN: I don't do a lot of re-reading, but recently I re-read "Crossing Safety" by Wallace Stegner, which is an amazing love story. I've read "Jane Eyer" many times, but that's an exception.
"Dear Edward" is published by The Dial Press, an imprint of Penguin Random House. Napolitano's other novels are "A Good Hard Look" and "Within Arms Reach." She is also the associate editor of "One Story" literary magazine. She received an MFA from New York University and has taught fiction writing at Brooklyn College. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two sons.


Austrian heart device company Miracor Medical Systems GmbH has announced that the first three STEMI patients enrolled in its "Prepare RAMSES" non-randomized safety and feasibility study of 40 patients have been successfully treated using PICSO® (Pressure-controlled Intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion) for 90 minutes following primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery.
In a STEMI, the coronary artery is completely blocked off by the blood clot, and as a result virtually all the heart muscle being supplied by the affected artery starts to die. Despite optimum primary PCI, the mortality and morbidity following a STEMI event remains sizable. Primary PCI alone is not enough to eliminate the risk for future cardiovascular events and recent studies have also shown that reduced door-to-balloon time does not reduce mortality in STEMI patients.
Miracor's Pressure-controlled Intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion (PICSO®) Impulse System offers a new and innovative approach to reduce myocardial injury and to revitalise ischaemic myocardium. In effect the device works by temporarily occluding the coronary sinus, which increases pressure, resulting in increased perfusion into the heart muscle damaged by the original infarct.
Initial clinical results show positive effects on MACE, restenosis rates, and long-term event-free survival. The PICSO® system consists of the Miracor PICSO® Impulse Console and the disposable, single-use Miracor PICSO® Impulse Catheter.
Principal investigator of the "Prepare RAMSES" study is Prof. Dr. med. Jan Piek at the Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The secondary endpoints of the "Prepare RAMSES" clinical study include enzyme release, 24-hour ECG monitoring, echocardiography and MRI at discharge and four months follow-up examination.
The Miracor PICSO® Impulse System is CE-marked and can be used during coronary revascularization procedures following myocardial infarction and other types of acute coronary syndromes to intermittently increase the pressure in the coronary venous system.
The technology is for investigational use only in the United States at this time.


Orlando, Fla. (ORLANDO CITY) - Orlando City was playing a near perfect game. They did the hard thing — nabbing the opening goal on the road. Now they were withstanding attack after attack trying to hang on to three crucial road points.
An ill-timed turnover and C.J. Sapong header later, the Lion's left Chicago with their heads down.
That disappointing draw may have worn on the team as they returned home and suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Montreal Impact.
Do you know what's not the easiest place for a rebound game? Traveling to Red Bull Arena to face the 2018 Supporter Shield winners in a stadium where they rarely lose.
Orlando City was playing a near perfect game. They did the hard thing — nabbing the opening goal on the road. Now they were withstanding attack after attack trying to hang on to three crucial road points.
This time, it was a different story. On the road in New Jersey, seven long minutes were added to the match and the Lions held strong. They took the ball into the corner this time. They killed the game and took home three massive points.
If you were looking for a sign of growth, a sign that this team was coming together, you just found it.
It's a shot in the arm as the team returns home this weekend to face Eastern Conference leading D.C. United.
Sunday's match at Orlando City Stadium will pit former Manchester United teammates Nani and Wayne Rooney against each other for the first time in MLS.
Much like boost Rooney provided for United last season, Nani has had a similar impact both on and off the pitch.
The veteran and team captain called a players-only meeting prior to the win against the Red Bulls. He spoke about the team's mentality and the importance of being able to win an ugly match.
The Lions will look to build on their performance with a win at home this weekend, ugly or not.
Orlando City SC (2-3-2, 8 points) returns home to face the Vancouver Whitecaps (1-4-2, 5 points) on Saturday at Orlando City Stadium. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET.
The match will be locally televised on My65 and available on YouTube TV. It will also be broadcasted on Real Radio 104.1 FM in English and La Nueva 990 AM in Spanish.

John Marshall over at Designed Objects has ben teaching a studio design course he titles "Post-Optimal Objects" with the convenient acronym POO. These are projects that are exploratory and self-critical in a sense. They skirt between what Marshall says is fine art and design so as to address approaches for developing the aesthetic and critical possibilities of objects outside a commercial context.
Some of the projects are fascinating probes that are by mandate critical and playful and skirt away from, as the title of the studio suggests, post-optimal contexts. This is resonant for me because it can be a challenge to steer away from expected rational and conservative forms of design. That is, things that are already commercially viable because they resonate with existing consumer expectations. But, as François has recently described, consumerism is only a small and very intriguing step away from cannibalism.
Of course, this is maybe true, but likely not the case at all. (Strictly speaking, someone would, odds say.) In any case, what Marshall is doing around this notion of post-optimal is teasing what is at the core of my frustration which is that any new, innovative idea is a bad idea because the world is already optimized for itself. The marketplace of ideas and their expression in standard form (as products to be sold, or services to be offered and profit to be found in a margin between price and cost) defines the constraints and requirements of what can play in that ecosystem, and it does so with such effectivity and narrowness that it is perfectly optimized. Things cannot enter into that ecosystem without having met these constraints and requirements. And, moreover, even conversations that skirt outside of the idioms of this self-optimal system are looked at oddly. People ask — why would you do this, as pertains a completely post-optimal idea, and they really mean it. They can find no answer because they search for the answer within the framework of the self-optimal system.
When Nicolas and I discussed the Near Future Laboratory's motivation and premise a couple of years ago, it was also, among other things, to be a place that explored possibilities that were outside of existing self-optimal frameworks. This is why I sometimes refer to it as a kind of science-fiction authoring practice, but with forms expressed in materialized ideas as well as writing. A different kind of authoring practice. The reason for this was to have a way of justifying "why" such odd things (such as this "(Air) Guitar Hero" device in the image above) are constructed. Science-fiction offers a safe haven for probing other possible ideas that are entirely speculative and imaginative. They are probes into other possible "systems" of social practice. Things beyond convention, beyond conservative, business-centric notions of what ideas are good for.


Steps to Create an SOP – Building a business and new company needs to have a Standar Operational Procedure (SOP) to ensure your company's workflow run well. Actually, what is the meaning of SOP? According to the Bandung State Polytechnic Digital Library, the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is one of the ways that an organization can take to improve performance. SOP is a written instruction used as a guideline to complete routine tasks in an effective and efficient way to avoid variations or irregularities in the process of completing activities by each person which will disrupt the overall performance.
As a new company, you can create the work arrangement that is ideal and in accordance with your company's vision and mission. Moreover, you and the existing team need to determine what things should be discussed in the SOP.
In this step, you have to choose the format, create the template, set the process flow and determine how the SOP will be accessed.
This interview step is very important to find out what has happened in the field. Interviewing employees is needed to find out what kind of activities they do at work and how they work.
After conducting interviews and examining the work management documents, the company can start writing SOPs, discussing it again with the relevant parties and seeing if there is still a regulatory gap between the employees and the company. If there is an agreement then it can start to be socialized.
After being agreed and socialized, it is necessary to conduct training so that the SOP can run properly and according to what is expected.
At least once a year, the company must evaluate the relevance of the SOP whether there are things that must be added or eliminated.
The difference is, the development of the new company / start-up is now also supported by millennial workers and experts. Are you sure that SOP standards printed on pages can be understood well by employees? SOP printed on pages can be inefficient and ineffective since now, we can execute the SOP by using technology, for instance smartphone.

Penn State Legend LaVar Arrington Elected To College Football Hall Of Fame
Jenna Seco | Onward State
1/6/22 12:33 pm
Former Penn State linebacker LaVar Arrington will officially join the College Football Hall of Fame's 2022 class, as announced Thursday morning on Arrington's Two Pros and a Cup of Joe radio show.
The Nittany Lion legend later confirmed his impending induction with a post to his Twitter account, showing off a commemorative football from the National Football Foundation.
Thank you to everyone who played a part in this honor!#socool pic.twitter.com/9sbeEd6u5l
— LaVar Leap Arrington (@LaVarArrington) January 6, 2022
As the 25th Nittany Lions player or coach to be selected for the College Football Hall of Fame, Arrington will join the likes of Jack Ham, John Cappelletti, Kerry Collins, and Joe Paterno upon his induction into the hall. Current Penn State safeties coach and co-defensive coordinator Anthony Poindexter was inducted last year as a member of the Virginia Cavaliers.
Arguably the greatest linebacker in Penn State history, Arrington's stint from 1997 to 1999 was an important catalyst for the program's "LBU" moniker. His "LaVar Leap," in which he vaulted the Illinois offensive line to make a critical fourth down stop, has aged as one of the most recognizable plays in the sport.
In his final season at Penn State, Arrington recorded 72 tackles, 20 tackles for a loss, nine sacks, two fumble recoveries, two kick blocks, and an interception. As a result, Arrington won the Bednarik Award (for best overall defensive player), the Butkus Award (for best linebacker), and the Lambert Award (also for best linebacker). Arrington was also earned consensus All-American honors and received the ninth-most votes in the 1999 Heisman Award selection process.
Following the 1999 season, Arrington skipped his senior season and declared for the NFL Draft. He was selected No. 2 overall by the Washington Redskins immediately after fellow Nittany Lion Courtney Brown was selected first overall by the Cleveland Browns.
Arrington played six seasons with Washington, where he compiled 401 tackles (43 for a loss), 22.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, three interceptions, and a touchdown. He was also selected for three consecutive Pro Bowls between 2001 and 2003.
Public feuds with the Washington coaching staff led to Arrington's departure. After signing a lucrative seven-year contract with the New York Giants, Arrington ruptured his Achilles tendon midseason and was later released, effectively bringing Arrington's professional playing career to a close.
Currently, Arrington works as a sports broadcaster and analyst. He is best known for his football commentary on the FS1 talk show "Speak For Yourself" with Marcellus Wiley and Emmanuel Acho.
More College Football Hall of Fame selections will be announced as the year continues. Two additional Nittany Lions, linebacker Paul Posluszny and offensive lineman Stephen Wisniewski, were also listed on the ballot and may be similarly recognized.
Arrington and the remaining honorees are set to be inducted on December 6, 2022.

Having settled into our Clare College accommodation on Friday evening, Saturday morning was time for the official business of the weekend, the Annual General Meeting which was held in The Latimer Room.
After the formal meeting and a quick break for tea and coffee we were treated to talks by Charlotte Crawley on 'The Dutch Garden in Norfolk and beyond' and later by the head gardener of Clare College Steve Elstub on the history and looking after the gardens and ground of a prestigious college like Clare and how they work alongside the rest of the Cambridge colleges.
Then there was a well earned lunch and followed by a guided tour of some of the college gardens. You can see pictures of these and the other gardens visited over the AGM weekend by looking at Cambridge Garden visits 2014.
The Chairman, Mark Hopkins gave an update on the state of EBTS UK and some of the things it and it's members have achieved over the last year. He also explained the reasoning behind the new UK constitution which was ratified at the meeting.
Lynda Hinton gave an update on the finances and Stephen Fenny was elected as the new Treasurer taking over from Philip Stockitt who looked after things for a number of years and everyone at the meeting thanked him, in his absence, for the hard work & dedication he has given in the role. Linda also gave a summary of the membership numbers which showed a slight increase in numbers on the previous year. She also explained the idea behind an event that she had organised called "Tea & Topiary" where local members and friends are invited round for tea to get to know each other better and talk topiary. The idea then is that one of the attendees then agrees to host another event etc so that slowly the location moves around an area and maybe pulls in some new members in the process.
Caroline Foley talked us through the latest edition of Topiarius, the magazine that is sent out to all members of EBTS not just the UK. As editor she has managed to get an exclusive for the 2014 edition, 2 years before an exhibition at Hampton Court readers are able to see some of the water colour paintings by 'Capability' Brown's assistant, John Spyers while Brown was Hampton Court's Master Gardener.
Chris Poole gave an update on how the website had been going since it moved to a WordPress based site and explained it was quicker and easier to update stories and events using the new web based access. He also said he was working closely with Caroline to get more of the academic items from Topiarius onto the web so that they were more accessible to people researching the history and science of boxwood & topiary. Chris also encouraged members to send him links to topiary stories in the press or events that would be of interest to other members.
Bruce Ginsberg talked through the Education Module – Contemporary Topiary which a group of the EBTS Council have been working on along with Jane Crebbin-Bailey who has been using her knowledge of the academic world to pull the ideas and suggestions into shape. The next step having got the structure right is to flesh out the content and Bruce explained that to do this it needs to be funded which are being actively looked into before trailing the course with some selected students and colleges. Sarah Aaronson OBE, a concert soloist and EBTS UK member has worked with Bruce to arrange a concert for us at the splendid Southside House. This will hopefully take place on the 16th October so keep the evening free in your diaries. The intention is to charge £70 per head with a pre-concert drink, and dinner afterwards.
Towards the end of the meeting there were discussions and suggestions for possible events and garden visits for 2015.

Bishop Heelan Catholic Schools » News » News Updates » Crusader Courtyard Enhancement
Gilchrist Foundation Funds Outdoor PA System
Thanks to a generous $12,500 grant from the Gilchrist Foundation an outdoor PA system has been installed in the Crusader Courtyard at Bishop Heelan High School for special events and student gatherings.
Father Travis Crotty used its wireless mic for the back-to-school Heelan Hoopla family gathering when he blessed St. Michael medals distributed to hundreds of students. It has played music for students during courtyard lunches.
The new courtyard, which opened to students in fall of 2021, includes tables and benches sponsored by specific Heelan classes, alumni and family members.
The area is further enriching the high school experience for our students, according to Dr. John Flanery, president of Bishop Heelan Catholic Schools.
"Our new courtyard is used for student lunches, study halls, outdoor classes, school events, alumni reunions, socializing and music," says Dr. John Flanery, president of Bishop Heelan Catholic Schools. "We are grateful to the Gilchrist Foundation for its support to bring sound to a valued new area of our campus."

Help is available if you are struggling with ingrown toenails. Ingrown toenails can cause discomfort, pain, and even lead to infection. A podiatrist can examine your nails and recommend possible treatment options. At Advanced Podiatry of Needham, Dr. Michael Mitry and Dr. Christopher Karter are your Needham, MA, podiatrists for the treatment of ingrown toenails.
Ingrown toenails can affect any of the nails on the feet, but tend to be most common on the nails of the big toes. The primary cause of an ingrown toenail is the sides of the nail growing too closely to the skin. This causes the nail to press against the skin, which often results in painful swelling and redness. Factors that can cause toenails to grow too closely to the skin include toe or foot injuries, fungal infections, wearing tight fitting socks or shoes, trimming the nails with rounded edges rather than straight across, and heredity.
It is possible to prevent toenails from growing too closely to the skin and becoming ingrown. One important way to prevent ingrown toenails is to trim the nails straight across rather than rounding the edges. Rounded edges are more likely to end up growing too close to the skin. Another method for preventing ingrown toenails is wearing socks and shoes that fit somewhat loosely on the foot as tight fitting socks and footwear can be too constricting. Finally, keeping the toes and feet clean and infection-free can help prevent ingrown toenails.
If you are struggling with ingrown toenails, a podiatrist can help. Several options are available for treating ingrown toenails and a podiatrist can provide suggestions for preventing additional problems with ingrown toenails in the future. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Mitry or Dr. Karter, podiatrists in Needham, MA, contact Advanced Podiatry of Needham at (781) 444-4044.
If you've dealt with the unmistakable discomfort of an ingrown toenail, you've likely wondered if it will come back after it's been treated. While toenails can become ingrown again, your podiatrist in Needham, MA, Dr. Michael Mitry, has provided some tips for his patients on how to prevent a recurrence of ingrown toenails.
Ingrown toenails are the result of interference with the growth pattern in the nail - most commonly the big toe - that causes the edge to begin pushing into the skin surrounding it. If the nail creates a wound in the skin, bacteria can cause an infection to develop, leading to pain, swelling and redness. Podiatrists like Dr. Mitry often identify improper trimming techniques as the cause of ingrown toenails, although ill-fitting socks and shoes, as well as trauma, can be the culprits as well.
While a few people are unlucky enough to have anatomical problems with their nails, your Needham podiatrist has several recommendations that will usually help prevent ingrowth in the future. Clipping the nails straight across (instead of curving them) is the main precaution; if you go to salons for pedicures, make sure the technician is licensed, experienced and knows the proper way to trim nails. It's also important to wear socks and shoes that give you plenty of "wiggle room" in the toe area.
If you feel an ingrown nail starting to develop, try soaking your feet in a hot bath with Epsom salts to soften the skin and reduce inflammation. Applying an antibiotic ointment and wrapping the toe with a bandage may be enough to stop the problem from getting worse. However, if the nail area becomes reddened, swollen or begins bleeding or oozing, it's very important to see your Needham podiatrist right away.
If you have any further questions or need to make an appointment with Dr. Mitry, contact Advanced Podiatry of Needham. We'd be glad to help you out.

This book considers the political and constitutional consequences of Vieth v. Jubelirer (2004), where the Supreme Court held that partisan gerrymandering challenges could no longer be adjudicated by the courts. Through a rigorous scientific analysis of US House district maps, the authors argue that partisan bias increased dramatically in the 2010 redistricting round after the Vieth decision, both at the national and state level. From a constitutional perspective, unrestrained partisan gerrymandering poses a critical threat to a central pillar of American democracy, popular sovereignty. State legislatures now effectively determine the political composition of the US House. The book answers the Court's challenge to find a new standard for gerrymandering that is both constitutionally grounded and legally manageable. It argues that the scientifically rigorous partisan symmetry measure is an appropriate legal standard for partisan gerrymandering, as it logically implies the constitutional right to individual equality and can be practically applied.
• Presents the first treatment of equal protection under the current post-Vieth legal regime • Brings together the institutional dimensions of equal protection, representation, and elections since the full effects of Vieth have been revealed • The theoretical argument of the book is supported by a thorough analysis of the empirical evidence
1. The unnoticed revolution; 2. The jurisprudence of districting; 3. Measuring partisan bias; 4. Geographic explanations for partisan bias; 5. Political explanations of partisan bias; 6. The constitutional implications of Vieth; 7. Answering Justice Scalia's challenge to equality: does equal protection imply majority rule?; 8. Conclusion: Vieth, majority rule, and one person, one vote.
'Under what circumstances can minorities defeat majorities in American democracy? Blending incisive legal analysis, with insights from social choice theory, McGann, Smith, Latner, and Keena explain how a largely unnoticed court case has allowed the Republican Party to violate the fundamental democratic principle of one man one vote to ensure their control of the House of Representatives. Employing rigorous empirical analysis, the authors provide a death-blow to political scientists' prevailing wisdom that, when it comes to redistricting, demography is destiny … Important, accessible, and timely, this book will generate controversy among scholars of redistricting. It is essential reading for students of American politics, as well as anyone who wants to better understand today's political climate.' Benjamin G. Bishin, University of California, Riverside
'[This book] makes a rigorously argued case that partisan gerrymandering - unrestricted after Vieth v. Jubelirer (2004) - has emerged as a serious problem for democratic representation and proposes to solve it through an innovative legal strategy, rooted in social choice theory, designed to persuade courts to reconsider the issue from a new perspective. It is easily the most original and important work on partisan gerrymandering to appear since the Court's ruling.' Gary Jacobson, University of California, San Diego
'Translating votes into a fair division of seats is a fundamental challenge of democracy. The authors powerfully demonstrate how the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision in Vieth v. Jubelirer (2004) set the stage for at least a decade of partisan gerrymanders and systematic bias in favor of Republicans.' Matthew Lebo, State University of New York, Stony Brook
'McGann et al. explain how partisan gerrymandering allowed a minority of voters to elect a majority of the US House of Representatives in 2012 and created a virtual Republican lock on the institution until 2020. The authors make a provocative argument about the signal sent by the Supreme Court's Vieth v. Jubelirer decision, which they claim encouraged state legislatures to maximize partisan advantage in competitive states … This book represents the best of social science research by addressing a relevant topic, embracing normative implications for democratic theory, and offering guidelines to ensure popular sovereignty.' T. Lynch, Choice
'… this is an excellent book. The authors do a tremendous job covering the legal background and political implications of gerrymandering and explaining the data analysis required for the book. … I highly recommend this book to students and scholars of representation and redistricting.' Thomas L. Brunell, Congress and the Presidency

Q: which regular expression will capture this sequence? The text follows this pattern
<tr class="text" (any sequence of characters here, except ABC)ABC(any sequence of characters here, except ABC)
<tr class="text" (any sequence of characters here, except ABC)ABC(any sequence of characters here, except ABC)
<tr class="text" (any sequence of characters here, except ABC)ABC(any sequence of characters here, except ABC)
<tr class="text" (any sequence of characters here, except ABC)ABC(any sequence of characters here, except ABC)

so basically the above line (which might include line breaks) might repeat itself multiple times, and the idea is to retrieve the first 3 characters immediately after ABC.
I have tried regular expressions along the lines of
 \<tr class="text" [.\n]+ABC(?<capture>[.]{3})

but they all fail. Can someone give me a hint?

A: You effectively escape the wildcard to become a literal period. Just use
\<tr class="text" .+?ABC(?<capture>.{3})

Make sure you use RegexOptions.Singleline, so that . matches linebreaks, too!
However, you shouldn't actually use regular expressions at all. Instead, use DOM parser. I have seen the HTML Agility Pack being recommended quite regularly for .NET.

A: Here is a regex that will capture the first 3 letters after some "ABC" in your string
".+ABC(...)"

in c#, your match will have a collection of groups, and one of those groups will be the 3 letters
Just make sure that you don't have any un-expected "ABC"s in your string, because that will mess it up
this code
public static void Main()
{
    Regex regex = new Regex(".+ABC(...)");

    Match match = regex.Match("baln390nABCqlcln");
    foreach (Group group in match.Groups)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(group.Value);
    }
}

gives this output
baln390nABCqlc
qlc
Press any key to continue . . .

A: <tr class="text" .+ABC(?<capture>.{3})

In conjunction with RegexOptions.Singleline (so that . matches line breaks).
