I LEARNED THAT PRIDE ALSO GETS YOU. NOW I KNOW HOW TOUGH IT IS: Across the country, local papers are profiling their regional entrants into next week's National Spelling Bee. Some that caught my eye this morning include Stephen Hartline (Marietta, GA OH) (of the title quote); Nicholas Rushlow (Pickerington, NJ) (favorite words: Bhutatathata, scuttlebutt); Andrew Logsdon (Harrisonburg, VA) (sitzmark, turriculate); Eliette Albrecht (Greenwood, SC) (monocoque, anythingarian and humuhumunukunukuapua’a); Michaela Minock (Peotone, IL) (uintjie) and four-timer Vaibhav Vavilana (Carmel, IN) (no favorite word).

Meanwhile, the St. Joseph News-Press checks in with 2009 entrant Morgan Brown and takes a look at what's happened to Northwest Missouri's prior finalists since 1992.
