FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - A Democrat's performance on the Senate floor Thursday may have seemed like a Shakespearean matinee to those in attendance, conjuring the question: "Et tu, Steve Pence?"
Sen. Julian Carroll wasn't portraying a scene out of "Julius Caesar," but his impassioned soliloquy drew standing applause from his Senate colleagues - Democrats and Republicans alike - after he called for Pence, the state's lieutenant governor, to resign.
"He's become a Brutus to the people of Kentucky," Carroll, a
Democrat, said of Pence.
Carroll, a former Kentucky governor and lieutenant governor, grew louder and redder. Pence should step down and give back his salary because he was disloyal to Fletcher and "has nothing to do," Carroll
"It is past time that he show at least some humility, that he show at least some character, and offer his resignation to the governor of Kentucky as lieutenant governor," Carroll shouted.
Carroll made the remarks just days after Pence, a Republican, backed one of Fletcher's political opponents in the May 22 gubernatorial primary. By crossing the governor, Pence had rendered himself ineffective in office, Carroll told his fellow senators.
Pence has said that he does not plan to resign because he was elected to a four-year term, which expires in December. Pence on Thursday called Carroll's comments "politics in Frankfort at its worst" and said he would like to hear the senator defend Fletcher's actions during the investigation.
"Loyalty requires that you live up to your word," Pence said. "Governor Fletcher gave his word that we were going to change the culture in Frankfort; he gave his word that he was going to seek
the unvarnished truth. He did not do that."
Fletcher and Pence were political teammates in 2003, bringing Kentucky its first GOP governor in more than 30 years. But their relationship gradually soured as an investigation into the Fletcher administration's hiring practices deepened.
As a former federal prosecutor, Pence said he disagreed with Fletcher's decision - during the height of the hiring investigation - to pardon his entire administration for any possible charges they could face stemming from the probe.
Fletcher was later indicted on charges that he illegally rewarded political supporters with protected state jobs. The indictment was dismissed in a deal with prosecutors, but the special grand jury later issued its findings in the case, saying Fletcher had approved a "widespread and coordinated plan" to skirt state hiring laws.
Fletcher has maintained that the investigation was politically motivated by Democratic Attorney General Greg Stumbo.
Nevertheless, Pence jumped ship earlier this week and endorsed former U.S. Rep. Anne Northup of Louisville, who lost a re-election bid in November. Paducah businessman Billy Harper also is challenging Fletcher, while seven Democrats are aiming for the top job in Kentucky, one of three states electing a governor this year.
"The Republican Party must have a candidate who can get beyond the scandals of this administration," Pence said at the time.
Fletcher noted Thursday that he asked Pence to resign his post as lieutenant governor months ago, but was ignored.
"I had made my request and he denied that and I understood that and I've accepted that," Fletcher said. "But now he has a decision to make given other requests that are coming in from the Senate."
Carroll said his comments were not politically motivated.
But exactly why Carroll would make that sentiment public seemed uncertain, said Joe Gershtenson, director of Eastern Kentucky University's Center for Kentucky History and Politics.
"From the Democrats' perspective it would seem that it's enough to have Pence and the governor trading their shots at one another," Gershtenson said. "Why say anything? Let the Republicans inflict the damage on themselves and show some internal divisiveness."
Some of Carroll's colleagues had similar thoughts, however. Sen. Jack Westwood, R-Crescent Spring, said Carroll had "said some of the things that I was thinking to myself." Pence has the right to disagree with Fletcher, but seemed disloyal, Westwood said.
"It seems like the attacks have been more aggressive, personal and unwarranted than I would have expected from somebody who was his wingman at one time," Westwood said.
And Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, said he and other Republican senators agreed with Carroll that Pence should resign.
"I don't think he is serving a practical purpose and is being paid by the taxpayers," Thayer said. "I think it would be wholly appropriate for him, in service to the state, to step down."

A new season of �20/20� gets underway FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET), preceded by a special edition of the program. From 9:00-10:00 p.m., ET, the show reports on conjoined twins, from a groundbreaking separation surgery to twins living life attached to a woman who lost her twin after their separation surgery 34 years ago. The reports look at the mysterious connection, both physical and emotional, between two people born conjoined, as well as expectations to live normal lives. And in �20/20�s� regular time period, from 10:00-11:00 p.m., ET, the Season Premiere episode reports on stories that show the power of the human spirit to cope with loss or controversy, including Lionel and Nicole Richie, and women who lost their husbands on September 11.

� �20/20� got exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to the separation of 10-month-old conjoined twins Regina and Renata Fierros from Mexico. As JuJu Chang reports, their parents, Sonia and Federico, can�t help but wonder if the grueling and risky 24-hour surgery was worth it, and if their daughters will survive. They also ask what the twins� lives will be like afterwards. Some of those answers might lie in a surgery that was performed three years earlier. Macey and Mackenzie Garrison, another set of conjoined twins, endured the same brutal and complex surgery in the same operating room by many of the same surgeons at Children�s Hospital Los Angeles. Chang reports on their conditions and lives today.

Message to the University of Massachusetts Community From President Jack M. Wilson
Dear Friends:
Over the last several months, I have spoken to many members of our community about the strength of the University of Massachusetts as "one University" with five diverse campuses, but with a unified approach to fulfilling its mission of excellence in education, research and service.
Last week, when he received the President's Medal at UMass Night at the Pops, UMMS Nobel Laureate Dr. Craig Mello described it almost perfectly. He alluded to the power of synergy at the University of Massachusetts-that our whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
As one University, the University of Massachusetts has more than 500 undergraduate and graduate programs and $404 million in annual research expenditures and nearly 59,000 students-it is truly a world-class University.
In recent months, I have given a great deal of thought to assembling a very strong leadership team that will help move the entire University of Massachusetts system to the next level. As longtime campus leaders Bill Hogan and Aaron Lazare announced their retirements, and their legacies were profound and their shoes very hard to fill. However, I think we have found an excellent leader for the Lowell campus in Marty Meehan and later this week I plan to announce leadership changes that create a team of superb campus leaders who also join me to serve as the University's senior leadership team.
Over the last several months, I have consulted with many campus, alumni, business and political leaders and there is great consensus that that the University's reputation is on the rise and has never been higher. The University is truly indispensable to the Commonwealth, the nation and the world. While this is great news, taking the University to the next level will require all of us to come together and lead through example.
I now have news to share with the University of Massachusetts community. I hope you will join me in welcoming these experienced leaders to their new posts.
I have asked Michael F. Collins, M.D., to serve in a challenging and important new role as the University-wide Senior Vice President for Health Sciences and interim chancellor of the University Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. Dr. Collins has served the University with distinction for two years as chancellor of UMass Boston, and I am appointing him to a position where he can direct the University's health sciences efforts. There is no more important time for the future of life sciences initiatives for the University and the Commonwealth than right now, and Dr. Collins is ideally suited to provide critical strategic direction for the University and our premier academic health sciences center.
I have asked J. Keith Motley, Ph.D. to serve as the Chancellor of University of Massachusetts Boston. Dr. Motley is currently the Vice President for Business, Marketing and Public Affairs at the University of Massachusetts President's Office. Prior to this, Dr. Motley served as Interim Chancellor of UMass Boston. He brings extensive higher education management and administrative skills as well as his trademark abilities to lead and inspire. He has been a University Vice President, Interim Chancellor, Vice Chancellor and a Dean during his 20-plus year career in higher education administration at the University of Massachusetts and at Northeastern University.
After six years of service as Chancellor of our flagship campus in Amherst, John V. Lombardi, Ph.D., has agreed to finish the 2007-2008 academic year and then he will return to his important teaching and research. Dr. Lombardi will remain engaged as a special advisor to me and our senior leadership team as we take the University and the flagship campus to the next level of excellence -- continuing to unify the University system. Dr. Lombardi has served with distinction as Chancellor of the Amherst campus and has led important initiatives, including spearheading a major capital campaign and several major new building projects, including completing the first new dorms on the campus in several decades.
The University benefits from the insight of all of its leaders- from the President, Board of Trustees to campus leaders and all members of the University's community of friends supporters. Together, our synergy is powerful.
You will receive more details about this official announcement over the next few days. Thank you for all that you do for the University of Massachusetts.
Jack M. Wilson, President
The University of Massachusetts

Carr, Barito Named 2011 Empire 8 Senior Scholar-Athletes
Senior Zach Carr (Carmel, Ind.) of the Stevens Institute of Technology men's soccer team is the male recipient of the 2011 Empire 8 Male Senior Scholar-Athlete award, the conference announced on Wednesday. The award honors those student-athletes who best exemplify what it means to be a dedicated scholar and athlete over the course of their four-year collegiate careers. Fellow Stevens senior Laura Barito (Arkadelphia, Ark.) was the female winner of the award.
"Laura and Zach represent the best of the best," said Empire 8 Commissioner Chuck Mitrano (Rochester, N.Y.). "They are elite athletes in their respective sports, but also exceptional students. They embody all that is great about Empire 8 and NCAA Division III athletics and we could not have better representatives."
The award winners are selected by a committee comprised of conference Faculty Athletic Representatives. To be eligible, a student-athlete must maintain at least a 3.75 cumulative grade-point average. Jason Nachman '09 was the last Stevens men's soccer player to earn the honor from the conference.
Carr was honored in January with the NCAA Today's Top VIII Award, which recognizes current student-athletes for their success on the fields and courts, in the classroom, and in the community. He was one of eight total recipients across all three divisions and also became the first Stevens student-athlete to be named Division III Academic All-American of the Year – one of two in all of NCAA men's soccer.
"Zach has shown an extraordinary ability to balance all of his commitments at Stevens very well," said Stevens' Director of Athletics Russell Rogers (Branchburg, N.J.). "He has compiled a remarkable list of accomplishments both on the soccer field and off, but more than that he really is the ideal role model for our student-athletes. Zach is a special young man and we are extremely proud of him and the legacy that he leaves behind here."
Carr carries a 3.93 grade point average pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Biomedical Engineering and has served as a tutor. He has made the school's Dean's List every semester as well as the Empire 8 Presidents' List each of his four years. Carr was named to the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine first-team Academic All-American team each of the past two years.
On the field, Carr is a two-time first-team National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-American who led all NCAA Division III goalies in save percentage and shutout percentage this past season. He holds the unofficial NCAA record for shutouts and his shutout string that ran from Nov. 9, 2009 through Oct. 13, 2010 lasted for 1,333 minutes and is second in the history of NCAA men's soccer, covering all three divisions.
He earned all-conference honors each of his four years and led the Ducks to the Empire 8 title each season. He notched 68 wins in goal against just nine losses and 12 draws as the Ducks' starting goalkeeper for the last four seasons. Named first team NSCAA All-East region three times in his career, the Carmel, Indiana native had a 6-2-4 all-time record in the NCAA Tournament, with one of the losses coming in penalty kicks to Messiah College in the 2008 National Championship game. Overall, in postseason contests, Stevens was 14-2-4 with Carr between the pipes. In addition, he had a goals-against average of .380 over the course of his career which is tied for third all-time in NCAA Division III.
"Zach is not only a great goalkeeper, but also an outstanding citizen, leader, and has a great attitude," said Stevens Men's Soccer Head Coach Tim O'Donohue (Hoboken, N.J.). "He led us to the NCAA Tournament every year, but Zach will be remembered for so much more. He goes down as the most accomplished Stevens soccer player of all-time."
Barito, an 18-time All-American in Swimming, became the first Stevens NCAA national champion in school history when she captured the 50-yard freestyle at the 2011 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships. She finished third in the nation in the 100-yard freestyle in swimming, while currently holding the second-fastest time in Division III in the 400-meter hurdles and automatically qualifying for the NCAA Division III Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
"Laura has, without question, established herself as one of the very best student-athletes at the NCAA Division III level," said Stevens Director of Athletics Russell Rogers (Branchburg, N.J.). "Her work ethic and determination to succeed as a swimmer, track and field athlete, and in the classroom are unmatched. As Stevens' first NCAA national champion, she carved a place in our record books forever. Laura has earned every accolade that has come her way and set the bar of success at Stevens to an unprecedented level."
Barito, who earned Dean's List and Presidents' List honors at the school and conference Presidents' List accolades throughout her academic career, is pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Biomedical Engineering. This past summer, she worked on a polymer nanocomposite fabrication/characterization project to study the shear-induced crystallization behavior of biodegradable carbon nanotube-based nanocomposites.
She worked as a tutor and head tutor in the Stevens Academic Support Center, was a member of the Service Board of Tau Beta Pi, a highly select National Engineering Honor Society, and was active in other campus and community groups.
"Through hard work and discipline, Laura has transformed herself into one of the elite athletes in the country, while excelling in the classroom and in the community," said Stevens Swimming and Diving Head Coach Trevor Miele (New York, N.Y.).

ST. LOUIS – Saint Louis men's basketball will welcome 2013 Final Four participant Wichita State to Chaifetz Arena this year in the first game of a home-and-home series. The game will be played Sunday, Dec. 1, at a time to be determined.
The Shockers advanced to the national semifinals of the NCAA Tournament before falling to eventual national champion Louisville. A member of the Missouri Valley Conference, Wichita State posted a 30-9 overall record a season ago.
Earlier this month, it was announced that the Billikens will play Oral Roberts (Thursday, Nov. 21) and Bowling Green (Saturday, Nov. 23) at Chaifetz Arena as part of the Cancun Challenge. Also, SLU will face Wisconsin Tuesday, Nov. 26, in Cancun and either Old Dominion or West Virginia the following day.
The complete 2013-14 men's basketball schedule will be released later this summer.

By Andy Metzger
STATE HOUSE -- Former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Joe Avellone misses the campaign trail, said his run made him optimistic about the future of the state and said he will wade back into politics endorsing the Democratic nominee after the Sept. 9 primary.
"Whoever's going to win the general election is going to have to become a little more centrist in their views in order to get elected," Avellone told the News Service in a phone interview Monday. He said, "I imagine that anybody that wins the Democratic primary has to make sure that they can reach out to a broad number of people who are the center of our party or the Democrats are going to give it away. So I would imagine I could help with that."
A former Wellesley selectman, health care advisor to the presidential campaign of Paul Tsongas and executive at biotech company Parexel, Avellone said his failure to crack the 15 percent threshold at the state convention needed to qualify for the ballot was a disappointment, but he doesn't regret running.
"Believe it or not I actually thought we were going to get past the convention, even though the common wisdom was that we weren't all going to make it," Avellone said. He said, "I was a little disappointed that we came up short, certainly appreciated all the good support I did get.
Avellone was bounced from the primary ballot by delegates at the state convention who did not amass behind him or his fellow competitor Juliette Kayyem in sufficient numbers to clear a 15 percent threshold. Steve Grossman, the state treasurer, took the largest share of the delegate vote, followed by frontrunner Martha Coakley, who barely edged Don Berwick, a health care expert and the third candidate to make it onto the Democratic ballot.
While Kayyem, a security expert and former Boston Globe columnist, has re-emerged as a commentator, Avellone has kept a lower profile, returning to Parexel, where he had previously led the international company's largest division, in a different senior advisory role, helping to better support biotech companies.
Avellone said the endorsement by Worcester Mayor Joseph Petty was a high-point of the campaign, and his time around the state gave him optimism for the future.
"We have problems for sure, but in every region there's good people that want to solve them, and I think there's kind of a general consensus, generally, on what needs to be done, and I think if state government reflects that we're going to really move our state forward," Avellone said.
Avellone said he had hoped to add a more moderate perspective to the Democratic primary, advocating savings on health care expenditures that would obviate the need for broad tax increases while highlighting the needs and opportunities of the smaller so-called gateway cities around the state, and finding ways to address the scourge of drug addiction.
The first candidate to declare for the 2014 open governorship in Massachusetts, Avellone said he misses the campaign trial, enjoyed intersecting with the Boston mayoral candidates last summer, and of his four opponents, said, "I consider them my friends."
Avellone said he would do it all again.
"Absolutely. It was a great privilege for my wife and for me. It's a huge undertaking to run a statewide campaign," said Avellone, who put thousands of dollars behind his candidacy. He said, "You don't do it on a lark."
After the convention in Worcester, Avellone said he received "very nice calls" from his four primary opponents as well as Republican frontrunner Charlie Baker.
"I knew I would have to make my case in the primary, so I was expecting it was going to be a very aggressive effort to try and prevail in the primary, but I didn't expect to not make it in the convention, so that was a disappointment," said Avellone.
If he had a chance to do it over, Avellone said he would have revised his caucus strategy to be sure that his campaign "really knew the delegates that were coming to the convention on our behalf."

When looking at the Reds, like playing chess, you would be wise to first consider what threatens your survival.
First short term, then long term. Threat assessment.
When Castellini took over the reins just three scant days ago, I have to believe he's already done his assessment.
Today, he knocked off the main threat to our short term prospects. And his second move was to bring in an expert to analyze the bane of our existance, the pitching.
So, what does RedsZone see as the next items on the list to assess and rectify, with extreme prejudice?

Domonic Brown and John Mayberry, Jr. clubbed back-to-back homers to highlight a five-run fifth inning that helped lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 9-4 win over the New York Mets in the middle test of a three-game series at Citi Field.
Ryan Howard drove in two runs for the Phillies, while starter Jonathan Pettibone (1-0) picked up his first major league win in his second career start. Pettibone gave up three runs on seven hits and walked two in five innings.
"It seems to me when he fell behind he made pretty good pitches and got out of it," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "When he got ahead in the count he was having some problems."
David Wright went 2-for-4 with one RBI for New York, which was shut down by Kyle Kendrick in Friday's series opener, managing just three hits -- all singles -- in a 4-0 loss.
Shaun Marcum (0-1) came off the 15-day disabled list to make his Mets debut against the Phillies. Signed to a one-year contract in January, Marcum had been sidelined with a neck injury.
The right-hander departed after four frames, replaced by Robert Carson with the Mets down 3-2.
"I felt like I had a lot more left in me," Marcum said of his short outing.
Jimmy Rollins greeted the New York reliever with a leadoff double, and things only got worse for Carson.
After Michael Young worked a one-out walk, Howard singled home Rollins before Brown launched a three-run blast to right-center field. Mayberry drove Carson's next pitch over the left-field wall.
Wright brought home Ruben Tejada with a double in the bottom of the fifth, but the Phillies regained their six-run cushion on Laynce Nix's RBI single two innings later. Nix's two-out hit scored Young, who had led off with a single and advanced to third when right fielder Mike Baxter dropped a ball hit by Howard.
John Buck's leadoff homer off Jeremy Horst in the ninth was the only hit New York mustered against the Philadelphia bullpen.
Back-to-back two-out doubles by Ike Davis and Jordany Valdespin gave the Mets a 1-0 lead in the second.
Philadelphia then tagged Marcum for three runs in the third. Pettibone opened the frame with his first big league hit and scored the tying run on a ground- rule double to left-center by Chase Utley.
Rollins, who matched Pettibone with a base hit, then scored on a wild pitch. Utley took third on the errant offering and hustled home on Howard's sacrifice fly to left.
The Mets threatened to put up a crooked number, loading the bases with nobody out in the fourth. Pettibone, however, limited the damage to one run on a Davis sac fly.
Game Notes
The Phillies' nine runs were a season high ... Howard now has a nine-game hitting streak ... Young finished with three hits ... Philadelphia has won five straight at Citi Field ... To make room for Marcum, who allowed five hits and walked two, the Mets optioned pitcher Josh Edgin to Double-A Binghamton.

DENVER -- St. Vrain Valley School District superintendent Don Haddad testified Tuesday before the state Legislature in favor of changing how Colorado funds public schools.
Senate Bill 213, which requires voters to approve tax increases of up to $1 billion, seeks to undo a complicated funding scheme that has left the state shouldering an increasing share of public education.
"What should the school-financing formula look like for the next 20 years?" asked Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver. "We'll build an act that we think represents the best chance for all Colorado kids to be successful."
Haddad said Tuesday evening that he supports the bill because Colorado's public schools are severely underfunded.
For 2012-13, St. Vrain received $6,332 per pupil, down from a peak of $6,945 in 2009-10. Because of lower state funding, the school district reduced staffing levels at all schools in 2011-12 and 2012-13, until voters approved a mill levy override in November.
If the state had followed Amendment 23 since 2010 as it did previously, St. Vrain would receive an additional $32.5 million this year, district officials said last fall.
The proposal would not restore that loss, however.
"It's not anywhere near what we've lost in education funding in the past several years, but it's a step in the right direction," Haddad said.
Until the bill is approved, St. Vrain officials won't know exactly how it will affect the district.
"What we do know for sure is that it will be considerably more than what we currently are getting," Haddad said. "Every district, regardless of who you are, will see an increase (in funding)."
Lawmakers have long agreed that Colorado's school-funding process needs an update. But the proposal hinges on voter approval of a tax increase, the details of which haven't been released.
Much of the bill sets up incentives to local governments to seek tax hikes to fund schools, taking some load off the state. The overhaul also sets up full-day kindergarten across the state and an updated funding scheme to help students learning English.
Republicans on the Senate Education Committee asked whether Colorado's school funding scheme could be updated without higher taxes. School officials at the hearing said they wanted to know more about how the plan would work.
Johnston has predicted an income-tax increase will be petitioned onto ballots by a private educational advocacy group.
"There are a number of outside groups who have been working on the idea of a ballot initiative for a year or more," Johnston said.
He didn't elaborate on specifics, but Johnston added, "The voters will have the decision about whether they want to fund that formula."
A proposal two years ago to raise taxes for schools from another sponsor of the school-finance bill -- Boulder Democratic Sen. Rollie Heath -- failed badly.
Even if approved, the funding overhaul wouldn't go into effect until 2015-16, Haddad said.
The Senate Education Committee planned to vote today on the school finance overhaul.
Times-Call reporter Victoria Camron contributed to this report.

text: If the amount of a taxpayer's federal taxable income reported on his federal income tax return for any taxable year is changed or corrected by the United States internal revenue service or other competent authority, or as the result of a renegotiation of a contract or subcontract with the United States, the taxpayer shall report such change or correction in federal taxable income within ninety days after the final determination of such change, correction, or renegotiation, or as otherwise required by the Tax Commissioner, and shall concede the accuracy of such determination or state wherein it is erroneous. Any taxpayer filing an amended federal income tax return shall also file within ninety days thereafter an amended return under this article, and shall give such information as the Tax Commissioner may require. The Tax Commissioner may by regulation prescribe such exceptions to the requirements of this section as he deems appropriate.

Some taxpayers seeking a quick refund may have to wait longer than usual this year as the Internal Revenue Service tries to stop criminals who steal others' identities and file fraudulent returns.
The agency, which began accepting 2012 returns Wednesday, is making its system more sensitive to signs of potential fraud, meaning some returns will get a closer look. Last year, the IRS prevented $20 billion in fraudulent refunds from being issued, up from $14 billion in 2011.
The efforts reflect the tension in the IRS's multiple missions, said Benson Goldstein, at the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The IRS has been trying to to accelerate refunds in part to encourage electronic filing and in part to reduce taxpayers' reliance on short-term loans. But the speed of refunds presented an opportunity for fraud.
''It's a difficult responsibility for the IRS,'' said Goldstein. ''They're there to get the prompt refunds but at the same time to protect the US Treasury.''
The IRS expects to meet its goal of delivering 90 percent of refunds within 21 days, said Michelle Eldridge, a spokeswoman. That compares with months for victims of identity theft.
The agency is trying to be careful and ''underpromise and overdeliver,'' said John Hewitt, chief executive of Liberty Tax Service. The IRS has long delayed refunds to prevent fraud, he said. This year's effort, combined with late congressional action that delayed the start of filing, may slow refunds by a week, he said.
Taxpayer identity theft has become more prevalent. For fiscal 2012, the IRS's identity-theft unit received about 450,000 cases, up 78 percent over the previous year, according to the National Taxpayer Advocate, an independent organization within the agency.
Using Social Security numbers obtained illegally, criminals generate fake wage reports and false tax returns. They focus on the start of the tax-filing season, seeking to deposit refunds on a disposable debit card or convert them into cash before the legitimate taxpayers file.
''It's a lot easier and safer for a criminal to not use a gun and go out and rob a bank,'' Goldstein said. ''It's much easier to use a computer."
Taxpayers whose identities are stolen sometimes wait months for their refunds.
The advocate, members of Congress, the agency's inspector general, and watchdog groups have been calling on the IRS to do more to prevent refund fraud and assist victims. Last year, the IRS Advisory Council said it was ''concerned that both taxpayers and the tax system will suffer if appropriate measures are not taken quickly."
It recommended that the IRS withhold three-quarters of refunds until it can verify taxpayers' identities.
For some households, a tax refund is the biggest financial event of the year. In 2012, more than 74 percent of tax filers received refunds, averaging $2,803.
This year, the IRS is introducing more of what it calls filters — rules its computers use to determine if tax returns warrant more scrutiny. The IRS said it had more than 3,000 employees focused on identity theft in late 2012, more than double the number a year earlier.Taxpayers who think they are victims
of identity theft can contact the IRS

Irregular Periods Explained: The Most Common Reasons Your Period Is MIA
A missed period sucks. First, many of us start to get anxious that we might be pregnant. Next, we have no way of predicting when it might decide to arrive, leaving us vulnerable to bleeding all over the place at a moment's notice. And then there is the other looming question: What made us miss it in the first place"
For people with periods, paying close attention to our cycles helps us stay in tune with what our body is trying to communicate. A missed period can be a signal that something else is going on with our body that we need to look into. It can be worth doing a mental self-check about any changes you've experienced lately and talking to a doctor about.
Normal vs. Irregular Periods
"The monthly menstrual cycle typically occurs every 28 days, is controlled by various hormones and is a key function of the female body," says Dr. Sherry Ross, MD, OB/GYN and Women?s Health Expert at Providence Saint John?s Health Center in Santa Monica, California. "Your 'period' begins around 11-12 years of age, lasts 2-7 days and continues until your reach menopause, which occurs around 51 years old." Ross continues: "Ovulation is an important part of the menstrual cycle and occurs around Day 14 when an ovarian follicle produces an egg, which can be fertilized by sperm. The egg is only available to be fertilized for 24 hours before it disintegrates. Once you have ovulated, your period will occur, which is typically 14 days later...

BREAKING: Baker felonies dismissed, receives unsupervised probation
The father of 10-year-old Zahra Baker is expected to be deported soon after his Catawba County felony charges were dismissed this morning.
As a result of a plea deal entered today, Adam Baker's felony charges of obtaining property by false pretenses and identity theft were dismissed. He pleaded guilty to taking electricity unlawfully and will be required to pay restitution of almost $350, which he paid this morning.
He also received a sentence that included unsupervised probation for the guilty plea on the misdemeanor charge.
Baker and attorneys are now on the way to Caldwell County, where he is expected to enter a guilty plea on charges he faces there.
According to Baker's attorney, Mark Killian, after his criminal charges are resolved, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will deport him within days.
For more details as they develop today, be sure to visit www.observernewsonline.com.

University of Central Missouri
Administration 302
Warrensburg, MO 64093
Phone: 660-543-4640
Fax: 660-543-4943
Contact: Jeff Murphy
WARRENSBURG, MO (Aug. 18, 2011) – From the front view, the Newton, built in North Kansas City by Smith Electric Vehicles, looks like any other urban delivery truck -- the type that transports packages across town, or carries a full load of soft drinks and even snack items such as potato chips to the local supermarket. But take a closer look under the cab and along the chassis and you'll discover what makes this vehicle different. You'll see why it not only runs quieter than most trucks its size and releases zero emissions, but can achieve speeds up to 50 miles per hour at a range in excess of 100 miles – all without a drop of gas.
Such vehicles have become part of the learning process for University of Central Missouri students enrolled in the Automotive Technology Management Program. The program is collaborating with the Newton's builder and other automotive manufacturers to provide training for students who want to be prepared for an industry that's developing more electric drive, hybrid, and alternative fuel vehicles. A federal grant is also helping the university to create educational opportunities to prepare skilled technicians and managers needed to manufacture and maintain these new energy-saving cars and trucks.
"We've developed a new certificate program for these vehicles, which is incorporated into the curriculum for the Bachelor of Science in Automotive Technology Management degree," said Scott Wilson, program coordinator. "The students who complete the B.S. degree will also complete the certificate."
The certificate in Advanced Vehicle Systems requires 21 credit hours, and requires students to successfully complete courses in Applied Electricity; Automotive Electrical Systems; Advanced Powerplant Systems; Advanced Vehicle Systems; along with courses dealing with automotive braking, steering and suspension systems.
Development of this certificate opportunity grew out of a federal program that allowed the university to receive a share of a $5 million United States Department of Energy grant that was distributed in fall 2009 to five Missouri education partners. A total of $650,000 was received for UCM's Automotive Technology Management Program and the Missouri Safety Center on campus. Other Missouri partners include Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla, Linn State Technical College in Linn, and the Missouri Science Center in St. Louis. They jointly applied for federal funds that were made possible through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to accelerate the manufacture and deployment of electric vehicles, batteries and components across the U.S. Under the grant agreement, Missouri University of Science and Technology is focusing on development of courses for training in the area of advanced electric drive vehicles, the Missouri Science Center is addressing public outreach, and UCM and Linn State are developing courses for operators, technicians and product support managers.
In addition to the certificate program, UCM has created the new course on Advanced Vehicle Systems and made modifications to existing courses to include materials on greener vehicles. It also developed a new dynamometer lab that enables students to simultaneously collect data points on study vehicles, including the Smith Electric delivery truck which has a gross vehicle weight up to 26,455 pounds.
"We can look at horsepower, torque values, endurance, and we can also collect data on emissions, as well as fuel consumption," Wilson said.
Using a Newton, Wilson recently coordinated a "dyno" demonstration for UCM President Chuck Ambrose with other automotive technology faculty members and former colleague, Terry Nicoletti, who now serves as national parts and service director for Smith Electric Vehicles. Nicoletti, who was part of the initial grant application project, has worked with the UCM automotive program to provide vehicles for lab purposes. He's also been a strong supporter of hiring UCM graduates to work for the company. At least 10 graduates of the Automotive Technology Management Program have been hired by Smith Electric since the company was established in 2009.
The other university partner in the three-year federal grant, the Missouri Safety Center, is under the direction of Terry Butler. He said the center's role in this partnership is to develop non-academic safety awareness training short courses designed to educate individuals on safety concerns related to advanced electric drive vehicles (AEV), including hands-on driver safety training. These courses will include educational outreach to AEV fleet purchasers, AEV technicians and maintenance personnel, AEV drivers (year one); law enforcement and emergency management services personnel (year two) and the general public (year three).
"We are conducting a pilot course for fleet purchasers this summer and the courses for public safety and the general public are still in the development stage," Butler said.
This is not the first time the Missouri Safety Center has received DOE funding. In the 1980s, it was provided a grant to conduct driver energy conservation awareness training.
As gas prices continue to climb, more and more individuals and companies will be turning to environmentally friendly vehicles. Efforts by UCM will help ensure both the drivers and the manufacturers are well prepared for this new era in transportation.
For more information about the Automotive Technology Management Program, contact Wilson at 660-543-4065. To learn more about programs offered by the Missouri Safety Center, contact Butler at 660-543-4213.

"A commercial ZFS solution is (still) coming to Mac OS X, thanks to former Apple filesystem and OS engineer Don Brady (who previously worked on the abandoned internal Apple project to port ZFS). Brady and his company, Ten's Complement, just launched a limited private beta in hopes to have the software polished and ready for a summer launch this year. Ars spoke with Brady, who has a long history engineering filesystems for Mac OS and Mac OS X, to find out a little about his previous work with ZFS at Apple, and what Mac users can expect to gain from Ten's Complement's port of ZFS."

RE[2]: Overkill for a desktop

XFS is interesting, but it has a problem in that it is meant for very high quality workstations and servers connected to battery backups. It really doesn't take flickering power levels well at all, which would be a real problem on notebooks.
Another problem XFS has, it that your data is not safe. Your data might get corrupted, without XFS noticing it. Just read the research papers on this, which I linked to.

A light at the end of the tunnel would be really useful right now.
I loaned a book from my library; its called "How to make Bread" by Emmanuel Hadjiandreou. It contains some nice SD recipes / formulas. The problem is that all the recipes refer to the starter that he guides you through making. He then uses the same build for each recipe. He does not state the starter hydration for each recipe / formula. Rather than make his starter I wanted to use my one. This is his starter creation / feed plan.
Day 1,
Take 1 Teaspoon of Flour and add 2 Teaspoons of Water and mix thoroughly.
Day 2, 3, 4 and 5:
Add 1 Teaspoon of Flour and add 2 Teaspoons of Water and mix thoroughly.
That makes 5 Teaspoons of Flour and 10 Teaspoons of Water.
His build for baking is take 15g of his starter and add
150g of Flour and 150g of Water. Cover and ferment overnight.
The next day use the amount of starter that each recipe requires.
As I worked through the maths I used the Standard conversion for Teaspoons to Grams:
1 teaspoon = about 5 millilitre ( ml ) = 5 grams ( g )
I carried on working through the maths, using previous guidance. When I finished I was pretty sure I had worked out the hydration of his starter and build for baking.
I came out with 200% hydration for the starter and 103% for bake starter. I was not sure these sounded right so I decided to weigh some flour and water. Using a proper measuring spoon I weighed a Teaspoon of White Strong Bread Flour and a Teaspoon of water; to my surprise the flour weighed 4g and the water weighed 6 ml. this contradicted the 5g / 5ml from the standard conversion.
So now I have lost my way - I am not sure how to proceed, so I need help.
A light at the end of the tunnel would be really useful right now.

At the end of any investment period, you can produce a list of the 10 best-performing stocks and the 10 worst-performing stocks and, despite all the highbrow debate, opinions and blah-blah-blah, these lists are all you need to know.
As we look forward to 2013, which will surely be a better year, all we need to do is guess what's going to be on these lists in 12 months' time. How do we do that? Simple.
In any period, the stocks that move are not the stocks that do what was expected, but the stocks that do things that weren't expected.
If BHP hits its consensus forecasts, for instance, it won't be on the list. Share prices move on new information and surprises, rather than expectations being hit and forecasts being fulfilled.
There is no money to be made from consensus forecasts. What moves share prices is changes in consensus forecasts and expectations.
So forget what's cheap or expensive on current forecasts and forget what everyone expects. Imagine instead what's going to surprise us.
Your job for 2013 is to get a gin and tonic, sit by the pool, shut your eyes and imagine what's going to happen next year that no one expects.
This year, the ASX 200 was up 11 per cent, and the themes were pretty obvious. Anything to do with resources has underperformed and anything to do with banks, real estate investment trusts, healthcare, utilities, infrastructure and defensive stocks such as gambling have outperformed.
The 2012 performers list, which includes the banks and Telstra, might be characterised as a ''safe income'' list. But it isn't safe income at all; a lot of these stocks have below-average yields.
It is a ''reliable earnings'' list. Westfield, for instance, has no earnings growth and a low yield (4.7 per cent), but is up 33 per cent this year.
All these stocks were bought because they represented businesses with low-risk, often regulated earnings, and not necessarily earnings growth.
The question is what's going to happen in the coming year that no one expects. Here are some possibilities. Don't laugh.
Someone sells a term deposit and puts the money into equities. Imagine that!
The new Chinese regime upgrades official growth domestic product growth forecasts. The resources sector goes into uptrend.
The US housing market leads a US economic recovery, driving cyclical growth stocks.
Fear subsides and the ''safety bubble'' deflates. Suddenly, a lot of boring stocks with no growth are going to look heavily overbought.
The Australian dollar falls and currency stocks come into focus.
Retailers have a good Christmas.
At the moment, there is no faith in retail earnings forecasts. But what if retailers move from talking about a ''challenging outlook'' and ''we cannot provide any earnings guidance'' to an ''improving consumer outlook" and ''expecting earnings growth of X per cent for the full year''?
Consensus forecasts have some major retail stocks on a 10 per cent to 13 per cent gross yield. Imagine if that turned out to be true.
Now get yourself a gin and tonic, and see what you can come up with.

The 33-year-old, a free agent after leaving Bramall Lane at the end of last season, has penned a one-year deal with the League Two side.
He told Pompey's website: "I'm happy that it's all done. Now I want to crack on and try to help this club move back up through the divisions again.
"This is a massive club and if you achieve something here then you'll always be remembered.
"There's a lot of pressure when you're at a big side and I'm sure it will be no different here, but that's something I enjoy.
"People will make us favourites to win promotion, so we need to make sure we can live up to those expectations.
"The club are making the right statements off the pitch and now it's up to us to do a job on it."

Earth : Africa : North Africa : Morocco : High Atlas : Aït-Benhaddou
Aït-Benhaddou is a city in Morocco.
This is a traditional Mud Brick city on the edge of the High Atlas Mountains. It is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and has featured in many films, mostly as a replacement for Jerusalem.
Get in
Aït Benhaddou is accessable from Ouarzazate and Marrakesh
It may be better to organise a private hire of a taxi for the trip.
Morocco Explored offers a well priced private trip which includes stops in the High Atlas Mountains.
Get around
Once inside the Ksar you can only walk/ climb To get from the newer part of the town you will have to cross a river via Stepping stones. Locals will charge you 10Dr to cross the river on a donkey, and they probably remove the stepping stones to improve their business. The river is only knee-deep and can be easily crossed by feet.
Climb up to the top of the hill for the great views.
There are several shops within the town that sell souvenirs from all over the Sahara, particularly prevalent are Models of the Ksar and wooden artifacts from the Dogon people in Mali. There is a very friendly carpet shop in the newer part of town near the post office

BERLIN, Md. (AP) — An Eastern Shore avian vaccine plant is closing, and company officials say most of its 45 employees are expected to lose their jobs.
Merial Select says it will shut the Berlin plant next year. The company says production is being transferred to other sites in the United States. The company employs about 5,600 people in more than 150 countries.
Berlin Mayor Gee Williams told The Daily Times of Salisbury that town officials have been aware of the potential closing for a few months, but it is not expected to have a significant economic impact on the town. Economic and community development director Michael Day says Berlin is in the midst of a water and sewer expansion that he believes will make the plant site more attractive to potential buyers.

If only we had some younger coaches to relate to the players; at least Michigan is being recruited by the spry Fred Jackson.
Congrats TR, and keep them coming!
Hello: Terry Richardson
Though it seemed for a long time like Michigan would not acheeve dream of landing the top in-state trio of LBs Royce Jenkins-Stone and James Ross and CB Terry Richardson, fear not: Richardson sealed the deal today, completing the triumvirate.
|24/7 Sports
4*, 5.8
NR CB, #195 Ovr
|NR CB, 150 Watchlist
4*, 97,
#3 CB, #31 Ovr
There is a machine hidden somewhere deep in Detroit that pumps out 5-9, 160-pound cornerbacks, and sends them to Cass Technical High School. Terry Richardson is the latest model, following Boubacar Cissoko, Dior Mathis, and Delonte Hollowell.
Richardson was a 2-seed in Sam Webb's March Madness recruiting column for the Detroit News. Allen Trieu on Terry's game:
The question with him is the size. He stands 5-9, 162 pounds, but he is an excellent football player with great instincts and excellent ball skills. His extensive offer list is proof that many of the top programs in the country have seen enough to say, 'We can overlook the lack of size.'
For the record, Michigan has commitments from 1-seeds James Ross and Royce Jenkins-Stone, 2-seed Devin Funchess, and 3-seeds Matt Godin and Mario Ojemudia, and is in good position with a couple other prospects. Michigan State has commitments from... none of the top 16. The report on Richardson is almost the exact same as the three DBs before him: excellent skills, except he's really short (he was a combine-verified 5-8 in 2009, but that's 3 years before he enters college, too). Trieu says he has the best ball skills of the Cass Tech lineage. Sam also profiled him in the fall:
"He's a natural at corner," said Scout.com Midwest regional manager Allen Trieu. "He has tremendous instincts to go along with the quickness and hips to turn and run with receivers. He also has great ball skills. His main weakness is size. I'd like to see him add weight this offseason but his tackling this season has been solid despite that."
Terry's been putting on weight, as he claims he was only 130 pounds(!) as a sophomore:
"I believe last year I was around 130, and right now I am at 165," Richardson reported. "I feel way stronger. My press coverage is looking a lot better. That is something that I just cannot wait to work on this summer during camp season — being more physical in press coverage."
Moving along, Terry talks about himself on his Scout profile:
"I'm a big play guy. When we need a big play, I'll come through and make it happen. I'm also smart and I can read routes and know what the offense is doing. I'm also always very composed and don't get rattled. I want to be more explosive and get in and out of my breaks faster. I'm working on being more physically fit and getting stronger."
Playing intelligently and building strength are HUGE needs for short DBs. Terry is a certified short guy. The only question about Terry is whether he can do those other things well enough to counter sub-optimal height.
It's relevant because all Cass Tech DBs are the same, so check out Brian's Delonte Hollowell profile for the general vibe on Terry, as well. Aside from the differences noted above, Terry is also a liiiittle bit taller than Delonte, and listed quite a bit faster.
Allen gave a little love to his offer list above, and here is a small sampling of schools who aren't too worried about Terry's height to offer: Alabama, Iowa, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, and USC. All of those schools have put guys into the league at the position in the past couple years.
Other offers include Arizona State, Cincinnati, Indiana, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Pitt, Toledo, and UCLA. This is not some under-the-radar prospect. He had interest from Florida, Miami, Oregon, and Tennessee, and if those schools had extended offers, this would be as exciting a prospect as there is in this class.
Terry Richardson finished his junior season with 35 tackles and 12 interceptions on defense. Offensively, he caught 12 receptions for around 400 yards and five touchdowns.
Richardson had four interceptions, 16 breakups and 20 tackles as a sophomore.
Not bad. Cass Tech ran a spread offense of sorts (though Royce Jenkins-Stone got his share of carries at fullback), and Terry got a few receptions on that side of the ball. Defensively, the Technicians don't play a lot of teams that throw the ball much, and I wouldn't be surprised if those stats are a little... exaggerated.
Scout says 4.5, but none of the other sites have listed 40 times. Considering his Scout profile also lists a combine-verified 4.64 (actually not bad with laser timing), I'll have to give two FAKEs out of five.
Youtube highlights:
You can also catch a couple glimpses of #9 in last year's Cass Tech FNL feature, where he impressed me a bit more than 2011 Michigan commit Delonte Hollowell.
Terry seems like a great corner, but on the other hand, Michigan has plenty of talent in the pipeline. Courtney Avery will be but a junior in 2012, and Blake Countess's class (also including Greg Brown, Tamani Carter, and Raymon Taylor) will just be sophomores or redshirt freshmen. Considering Terry is just a skinny little guy, a redshirt year is probably in order.
Following such a redshirt year, special teams time as a redshirt freshman is the expectation, before the graduation of Courtney Avery and Terrence Talbott opens up a starting spot, for which he'll compete alongside whichever younger guy doesn't take the Woolfolk/Floyd starting spot in 2012.
I would guess Terry has a good chance at that spot, assuming natural development, or he at least gets a chance in nickel packages (though it seems Mattison's current plan is to play a bigger safety type in the nickel). By the time he's an upperclassman, Terry should be getting plenty of time in the rotation, and be a possible all-conference type in his final two years.
Though his size may limit him in the NFL Draft down the road (assuming he's not done growing - don't forget he won't even be in college for another 18 months), he still has enough other skills to be selected after the first round.
I am shaking in my shoes trying to figure out what other defensive back is going to commit within the next couple days, because I sure don't have the "comes in pairs" post ready to go for another guy (although Shane Morris and Matt Godin started to break up the position-by-position lockstep).
You know the story by now - DT, RB, OL, and WR are the remaining needs. A QB would be very nice, but is no longer imperative, and the remaining slots can go to the best prospects, regardless of position
If only we had some younger coaches to relate to the players; at least Michigan is being recruited by the spry Fred Jackson.
I mean, all the Ohio Players must just be an anomaly.
More hair would help, too.
No Fly Zone
Thanks foe the great news this AM. When I academically committed to Michigan it was the best decision of my life. I am optimistic for you as well....
Terry decides to stay in state with the mighty blue. Not pulling a Mark Ingram this time Mr. Saban. ***********************
In retrospect it only won him a Heisman, which he probably wouldn't have even come close to in RR's offense.
From whence comes this assertion? Steve Slaton was a finalist in 2006, that seems "close" to me.
It comes from the Giant Urn of Ludicrous Random Rich Rodriguez Post Hoc Assertions Based on Utterly Zero Thinking (or, more simply, the GULRRRPHABUZT).
You just shut down your mind, close your eyes, reach in, and presto! A piping hot ludicrous post-hoc assertion, ready for dissemination on the internets!
It seems like only yesterday that the Detroit 3 were pissed off at Michigan for not recieving an offer and now they are all Blue. Great job once again by this coaching staff.
When some on the board were questioning him and freaking out because he might postpone his announcement on....Thursday. Guess it doesn't reflect badly on him after all (/s).
If that reflects poorly on anyone, it's the fans that are so obsessed they can't wait a couple of days.
Great to have him as a part of this class. So what is it that 247 likes about him to rank him so much higher than the other recruiting services?
MI STATE must be pulling there pulling what is left of there hair
You might want to lay off the sauce before posting again.
Great addition who solidifies the instate dominance and brings both talent and attitude to the defense. With that offer list there is no worry about his lack of height - the kid can play and might get to 5'11" by the time he comes to Ann Arbor.
Not that TR growing is out of the question, but for a guy who grew 5'9" in the first 17 years of life, it isn't likely he will have a 2 inch growth spurt at this point in his life. Not saying it is impossible, but highly unlikely. Any growth is a positive though, but even if he doesn't grow a millimeter, from his highlights you can see he can play.
Does the 9 stand for the number of recruiting battles we've won over State thus far?
And now that is also 2 recruiting battes we have won with OSU.
Welcome Mr. Richardson. (In the case it is not obvious...) We are very excited to have you in the winged helmet!
On another note:
I can't believe the recruiting prowess on display. Go Blue!
Hoke and his staff are just making this look easy. I was a big supporter of RR while he was here and really only started following recruiting closely during that time period. I don't mean any disrespect to RR and his staff as I know they were hitting the recruiting trail as hard as anyone, but it always seemed like a struggle with them when trying to sell kids on UM.
I don't know the reason and frankly it isn't importnat, but Coach Hoke and his staff have just been making this look easy. Well done!
Welcome to the fold Terry! Very excited to have you!
Michigan is stockpiling right now. Their class is very good. I am beginning to be a little worried at TOSU's class. Recruits are really nervous right now.
C'mon down Brionte Dunn!
...but you'll have to leave your new wheels in C-bus.
It probably had something to do with the fact that the program was in disarray and his head was on a constant chopping block and that's a turn off to a lot of people when you're possibly committing to a school for 4-5 years. Look at TSIO's problems recruiting so far, a lot of kids are leery on it, had this stuff not been prevalent they'd probably have around the same number of recruits as Michigan does. I guess when you can't promise gold pants to sell if you win them or free cars and tattoos it really puts a damper on your recruiting trail...lol.
I wasn't bagging on RR, I simply made the statement that this staff is doing a great job and seems to be able to sell kids on UM much easier than he did. It seemed like a struggle even in the build up to RR's first season (long before job security was an issue). I don't know the reason and I am not condemning RR for it, I am just making the observation that BH is making this look easy. I loved RR too, but there is no need to ingnore the obvious.
RR was simply in over his head. He just didn't understand what it took to run a major tradition-steeped program. His players sensed it, the administration sensed it, the ex-players sensed it and the recruits and their families sensed it. Too many of the quality ones stayed away.
Also I don't think Sabin was worried about the disadvatage of recruiting against a midwest coach at Michigan. Michigan was and is a better program so anyone at MSU will always have to work harder to level the field (excepting the past three years of course). Going to a program that has the advatages of Michigan and pays better made leaving MSU easy.
Welcome Terry.This coaching staff is putting one hell of a defensive class together.The future is looking very bright.
Let's see: "Delonte is also a liiiittle bit taller than Delonte"
I don't care who you are, that's impressive.
Awesome news! Great class so far!
Any thoughts on how long Mattison will be DC in Ann Arbor? I think he has been the best thing going since RR left.
Mr. Richardson; looking forward to watching you shut down receivers over the next few years.
Boy, Six Zero really got on making that banner quickly.
...Err, I guess if you want to be official, I'm in the East.
Yosemite Sam ought to be your new avatar.
That LEGO dude is getting old.
My son will be bummed if the LEGO guy goes bye-bye -- that alone confirms the viability of this website in his eyes.
But to unleash the horror of LEGO MARTAVIOUS.
correctly, Yosemite Sam is the fastest draw...North, South, East, aaaAAAND WEST of the Pecos!
If you've never seen the Buggs Bunny Movie, you're missing out.
Some things I think I heard:
1. The commitment of James Ross was the turning point. Terry sees Ross as someone of similar calibre (scholarship offers) and he wanted/needed to see other big names go to M. Funchess and Jenkins-Stone also helped.
2. He's working with the other commits to bring in a strong class.
3. He liked how Hoke and Mattison are taking care of business in-state. He said if this was last year's staff he probably wouldn't be at M.
Now that we don't have to worry about counting our chickens before they are hatched with Terry committing, what is our order of preference of the remaining DBs Wayne Morgan, Jarrod Wilson, Armani Reeves, and Standifer?
I would like to see Wilson (a true safety, and a good one at that) and Standifer. I would like a big corner to go along with TR. I would gladly take any of them though...those were just my preference.
I want Jarrod Wilson out of those players the most because he's a true safety and a playmaker. We have a lot of guys who played corner but might switch to safety, but I'd like someone who has already done it. Wilson is that guy.
We are the leaders for Dymonte Thomas services per Tom. This guy is a true 5 star safety and I think it would be great if we get another true safety this year but it is not imperative. I think any of the rest of these guys would be great pick ups. As long as Hoke and company stay on Dymonte Thomas I think he is going blue and it may be sooner than we think. He may even pursuade his cousin to rethink his committment.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure we're recruiting him as a RB.
I thought he was a safety all the way but I could be wrong.
I know TomVH had him listed as a RB in one of his weekly updates, but I always thought he was going to be a S. If he likes Michigan that much, and can persuade his cousin Dunn to come here with him, it would almost be guarenteed that he would be a S.
Thomas is a 2013 recruit not 2012, I believe the question is who would we prefer for the 2012 class.

The Los Angeles Dodgers overcame a subpar performance from Clayton Kershaw to survive a 10-8 slugfest against the Colorado Rockies in the opener of a three-game set at Coors Field.
The Dodgers left-hander was very un-Kershaw-like, allowing five runs and a career-high 11 hits over a five-inning start.
"It happens and hopefully I get these runs out of the way before it counts," Kershaw said.
Andre Ethier clubbed a two-run homer and finished with three RBI for NL West- leading Los Angeles, which has won five games in a row.
Chad Bettis started for the Rockies and gave up five runs on eight hits and walked four in 4 2/3 innings.
"I wasn't efficient as I would've like today," Bettis said.
The Dodgers broke a 5-5 tie in the sixth, which began with an error by Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado. Yasiel Puig reached when Arenado's throw pulled Jordan Pacheco off the bag at first. and Puig then sufferd a mild right knee strain sliding into third on an Adrian Gonzalez single.
Puig remained in the game and scored the go-ahead run on Hanley Ramirez's sacrifice fly, but he was replaced in right field by Skip Schumaker in the bottom of the inning.
Ethier followed Ramirez with the blast to right.
The Rockies looked for a quick response in the home half of the sixth, greeting reliever Brandon League with consecutive hits to put men on the corners. League bounced back to shut down the threat, retiring DJ LeMahieu on a fly ball to right and getting Michael Cuddyer to ground into an inning- ending double play.
Colorado was able to trim the deficit to 8-7 against Ronald Belisario in the eighth, but Cuddyer bounced into another twin killing to thwart the rally.
Juan Uribe and Carl Crawford each plated a run in the ninth to provide insurance for Kenley Jansen, who earned his 25th save despite allowing a leadoff homer to Wilin Rosario.
The Rockies outhit the Dodgers, 18-15.
Both starting pitchers labored through the first inning.
Crawford walked to begin the game and went to third on a single by Puig, who was called out on interference after colliding with the second baseman LeMahieu as he was attempting to field a Gonzalez chopper.
After Ramirez walked to load the bases, Pacheco tried to initiate a double play, but his throw to second hit Ramirez and Crawford scored on the error. Bettis retired the next two batters to avoid further damage.
Kershaw's (14-8) outing also began with a walk, and a LeMahieu single put men on the corners with no outs. Cuddyer and Rosario then each plated a run with consecutive base hits before a third first-inning run scored when Arenado grounded into a double play.
The Dodgers got a run back in the third, then moved ahead two innings later. Ethier hit a one-out double and A.J. Ellis drew a two-out walk before Uribe chased Bettis by knocking in the tying run with a single.
Jeff Manship (0-5) took over on the mound and promptly gave up a two-run single to Kershaw, who failed to protect the 5-3 lead as Arenado and Pacheco each drove in a run in the bottom of the fifth.
Game Notes
The Rockies were 8-for-20 with runners in scoring position, while Los Angeles finished 6-for-17 ... Ethier, Uribe and Colorado's Charlie Blackmon each had three hits.

Glimpsed at Twilight on the Terrace: Asylynne Wright
Asylynne Wright, 44, didn't adopt a "Mad Men" style just for the Twilight on the Terrace party at Gertrude's Restaurant at the Baltimore Museum of Art. "I've been dressing like this - mid-century classic - for the last 20 years," says the Mt. Vernon resident. For the party benefiting The GLCCB: The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Community Center of Baltimore and Central Maryland, Wright wore a jewel-tone print 9 & Co. cotton sheath from JC Penney to which she'd added a white patent leather skinny belt. Most fashionistas consider blacks and browns their neutrals, but not this Invotex executive assistant. Hers include the nude, black, chartreuse and pink platform Anne Michelle peep-toe ankle strap pumps and the lavender handbag she picked up in London's Camden Market. "Because [they both] go with everything in my wardrobe," she said.

Why I love teaching at Taylor:
Taylor is an outstanding community of students and colleagues who share a desire for professional excellence. Upland is a wonderful place to raise a family, and we greatly enjoy interactions outside the classroom with students from across campus. In the classroom, I'm blessed to work with students who genuinely care about the process of learning and earning their degree.
Advice to incoming students:
Never be afraid to ask for help and direction. Also, don't be afraid to expect a lot from yourself. You're capable of doing a lot more and a lot better than you probably realize.
