Found out WHILE ON VACATION about my wife's affair. She left Facebook open. For one week she denied the extent of the affair. Said it was just online and over-the-line flirting. The rest of the story just came out.
What a complete and total shock. The lying, the betrayal, the... everything... just all adds up to the worst moment of my entire life.
We already started counseling last week. She lied to us about the extent of the affair. Her next session is Wednesday.
We have three small children. Those poor babies. Right now she is very remorseful, but seems more so about everyone else finding out (including the kids) versus the act itself.
I will continue to work on ME. That's all I can do. I'm open to reconciliation, but my determination dwindles with each day. I am emailing the counselor regularly and she is helping a great deal.
Thanks for letting me vent...

Bro hugs (((broken
I know what you are feeling right now, I was there about 20 months ago. In your exact situation, three little kids, etc and feeling completely devastated.
We are here for you, vent all you need! Focus on taking care of yourself right now. Eat well, exercise, drink lots of water, breathe.
I'm not gonna lie to you man, there will be tough days ahead...but everything will be ok, no matter how things work out. All will be ok. It might not feel like it now, but trust me, it gets better. Hang in there, be there for your kids.
You are very wise to be skeptical of your WW's remorse. Mine showed the same type of remorse you describe, more worried about the fallout than deep repentance.

Hi brokenman, welcome to SI. Be prepared for more story to come out, as often does. Hopefully counseling will be beneficial for you both. Good advice from Traildad, take care.

It's a very traumatic time. You will be going through a roller coaster of emotions. I found that yoga, exercise, doing things that you are interested in or trying new things helps. If you can be alone in a room with no one around and scream, cry, punch, etc. that helps too. Going out meeting new friends - anything that gets your mind to another place for awhile each day will help retain your sanity.

Right now your WW is emotionally invested with the OM and is certainly not in love with you; but she values the marriage and wants it to continue. Hence the 'remorse'
In tune with the cake eating attitude of a WW in this situation, look for her to take this affair underground; she needs to get her fix and its a matter of arranging to do this without you finding out.
Be vigilant, since only with total NC will there be a chance of your wife coming out of the fog. Maybe you won't care by the time she displays genuine remorse; that could be quite some time away.

Right now she is just very angry that I shared SOME of the story with friends (mutual friends). I can't bring myself to share the full details. Too embarrassing.
I would like to hear any stories or advice on how to deal with the kids. We also live in a very small community and I worry about word getting out and ruining her and the kids.
She's spending the night at her friend's house... at work during the day. After work she comes home to help take care of kids, go to school meetings, soccer, etc. The kids probably don't think anything is up.
She told me today that she's talking to an attorney. She doesn't see any way that WE can get past this.
I'm scared for her and for the kids.

I've been there. I know exactly how you feel. The betrayal, lies, and deceit are devastating.
It is very important that throughout this you keep the following in mind:
What she has done has NOTHING to do with YOU or YOUR MARRIAGE.
Adultery/infidelity is a PERSONAL PROBLEM. It is not a marital problem. But obviously, it can devastate what was a perfectly good marriage. You are no more responsible for her adultery than her heroin addiction if she was a heroin addict.
If she is talking to an attorney then she is still deep in the bullshit fantasy world of the affair. See an attorney quickly and know your rights. Get whatever evidence of the affair that you can. Separate your finances from her immediately because, be assured, her attorney is going to convince her that YOU must be gutted like a fish for making HER life so miserable. Trust me, it is what they do and it is what makes them money.
As far as telling others about her affair? Tell whoever the hell you want. I told anyone and everyone and they all unanimously supported me.
You will get some really good advice here. Listen to it. We have all been EXACTLY where you are now.

You should be talking to one as well then to prepare and protect yourself.
traildad posted 8/5/2013 10:54 AM

See an attorney today. Protect your kids, you can't protect her from her own choices. Don't let her control this situation. Her reputation should be of no concern to you. Document that YOU are the one staying every night with the kids.
Hang in there. Trust me, you cannot save her from herself.
traildad posted 8/5/2013 11:00 AM

She's testing you, she wants you to beg her to not go to the attorney. If you cave to that then she knows she can continue the A and still have you waiting for R. The longer you let that arrangement go the worse it gets. If she is still in the A, then file for D, don't delay. My biggest mistake was waiting and trying to nice her out of the A, when in retrospect my only chance to save my M would've been to immediately file for D and take complete control of the situation. Oh, and tell everyone and anyone, the A will lose it's luster in the sunshine.

Welcome Brokenman,
Sorry you have to be here, but know that there are many of us here who have BTDT, and will offer lots of great advice.
You say "Right now she is very remorseful" Correction - She is only sorry she has been caught. Real remorse doesn't look like anger, and telling you not to talk to anyone about it. She is more concerned about how she looks in this mess than the fact that she has broken her marriage, and hurt her spouse beyond measure. Real remorse doesn't go see an attorney.
I would like to make some recommendations to you to protect yourself and your kiddos.
1. See an attorney or 3, any one that you see for info will not be able to represent her. Get info on how this will play out should she decide to D.
2. Document everything, keep track of how many nights you are keeping the kids, and taking care of them without her there.
3. If she has said she want to work on R, and is going to marriage counseling then you need to go into spy mode, she has proven she is not trustworthy, believe her, hack her phone, her email, and get a VAR in her car. I am willing to bet she has gone underground with this thing.
4. Keep telling those kids that you love them and that you two are having grown up problems. Lots of hugs and kisses, and reassurance is all you need to give your kids at this point.
5. Take care of you. Make sure you are eating, sleeping, and staying hydrated. If you are having problems doing those things talk to your Dr. Also make an appointment to get STD tested as well. This is for your well being. You have to be healthy to take care of those kiddos.
Lastly read up there in the healing library. Tons of good info, that will help you start to make heads or tails of this, and pay close attention to the 180.
((((and strength)))

The key now is to realize your wife is still lying to you, the counselor and herself.
She is going to speak to an attorney.
So should you. ASAP!
You should also try to get back on her facebook and print out what tipped you off as evidence if she has not already deleted it.
Why is she staying at a friends?
Is her friend complicit in her affair? Or is she an advocate for your marriage?
So for now take care of yourself and your kids.
Your wife is currently in the "me" stage. She is only concerned for herself and how she looks to others.
If she is not home with you i would out her affair to the world.
Exposure helps to kill it in most cases.
Do not take this sitting down.
Fight for your marriage and see if she comes to the party.
If not you have your answer.
Good Luck

Dear Broken...
So sorry you are here.
You have already taken the first step to healing, you reached out for support. You found a very safe place full of very compassionate people that know exactly what you're going through. We've all been where you are now and most of us have made it out the other side.
We will do our best to help you while you find your way, too.
You are right - it stinks.
Stay true to yourself. Set your boundaries and love yourself enough to stick to them.
(((gently))) - It doesn't sound as if your wife quite "get's it" yet.
By what you have written it sounds that she regrets being caught but isn't remorseful for what she has done. Big difference.
She is angry that you shared her secret? Too bad. If you could trust her you wouldn't need to do this to find comfort and support. If she hadn't broken her commitment to you there wouldn't be anything to tell.
Right now, do whatever it is you need to catch your breath and find your equilibrium that includes finding people you can count on and that support you.
Your WW needs to understand this and hang on. The road to true reconciliation is a long and tough one. There are good days and really brutal days. Your feelings will be all over the place and rightfully so.
Right now she is very remorseful
Her actions, not words will determine how this process proceeds.
She needs to show you that she is sorry. She needs to answer any and all questions even if you've asked them 1,000 times.
She needs to understand the magnitude of your hurt and betrayal.
Healing takes time. You can't fast track this. You have to feel, express and deal with everything you are feeling. If you don't, it will rear it's ugly head down the road (triggers are tricky like that).
Regret is about being careless enough to get caught. Regret is for the shame she may feel. Regret is being sorry for something you've done, but not necessarily taking action to make amends. One can feel sorry that their BS is hurting without doing a single thing to comfort them or help them recover. Regret is a feeling that is momentary and can be easily suppressed, especially if they are someone who compartmentalizes. Regret is passive.
Remorse, on the other hand, is active. Remorse comes when the betrayer, feel compassion for the BS. It is when they are willing to do whatever it takes to help the BS heal. Remorse is selfless. Remorse asks, 'what more can I do to help you?'
You need to see that she understands your pain. When it is true remorse, they realize that they'd do anything- literally anything- to take away your pain. In other words - they "get it."
Remorse is taking responsibility for their bad choices and is necessary for recovery and true reconciliation.
Are you sure the affair is over? Has your WW agreed to NC?
If she has one foot out the door, then see an attorney so you know your rights.
Hang in there and know that we are here. Keep moving.

She has NOT agreed to stop seeing him. He's her instructor in the workout class she attends every morning. She lots a ton of weight, looks amazing, is the star pupil in the class... and she fell for the douchebag meathead instructor guy. She says the class is ALL SHE HAS and that if she up and leaves everyone will know what is up.
I'm just blabbergasted. This isn't the girl I know. It's like a pod person has taken her over. As soon as she put the kids to bed, she couldn't wait to run out the door. I know she's been going to her friend's house every night... and it is a good friend for her to be seeing. She is religious, my friend as well, and wants us to reconcile and do what's right.
I can't believe I'm going through this. What a freaking nightmare. And it pains me that I want to reconcile so bad. Part of me just wants to man up and kick her to the curb. Another part wonders if I would put up with this much if it weren't for the kids. Another part remembers the old her I love so very much. She's my everything.
tushnurse posted 8/6/2013 07:55 AM
Gently -If she is still going to his class, she is probably doing more than that.
You need to put your foot down, if she has given the impression she wants to work on your marriage then you get to make some demands. Sticking to your vows is NOT an unreasonable thing to ask.
Great she lost a ton of weight, there are a million other exercise classes, and ways to exercise. You need to demand NC if you want this to work, and be prepared to follow through with consequences, because she is deep in the fog.
We have a saying around here, and for many of us, it was how we saved our marriage.
"You have to be willing to loose the marriage to save it."
In reality it is the impetus many WS's need to get their heads out of the asses. It is also not doing much to change your reality. You have already lost her, you just haven't accepted that yet. She has made the choice to have both of you as long as you will allow it. But in reality she is no longer commited to you.
It sucks, it's hard, and the pain can be overwhelming. But you can decide how much abuse and pain you will endure.

traildad posted 8/6/2013 08:29 AM
It's been said already, but it warrants repeating...watch her actions!
She runs out the door every evening...to stay at her friends? Why the hurry? She still goes to the OM's class?
All the while, you are still at home, right? Cleaning, caring for the kids, finances, etc?
What consequences has she had from her actions?
She's gonna ride this setup as long as she can. She has it made. Only you can change it. You gotta put fear aside right now and take bold actions to save your M, with no guarantee it will work, but know that either way you will be ok.
At a minimum you need to demand she quit the class, go NC, and verify her whereabouts at all times (can you confirm she is actually at her friends?). If she can't do that, you have to file for D, you can't stay married to someone seeing another man.
Good luck to you, I know it's not easy. I waited too long to take action, put fear aside and take your life back.
1Faith posted 8/6/2013 10:24 AM
This stops when you say it stops.
NC has to be established in order for the marriage to have an ounce of a chance. Right now what are her consequences? None. She plays mommy when its convenient and then runs out the door.
She is cakewalking. She wants her cake and eat it too. Close your bakery.
NC should be a deal breaker. Either you and your family or the trainer are more important. She gets to choose. But do not allow her to have both.
We realize it is hard, but you must do this for you, your family and your sanity.
She says the class is ALL SHE HAS and that if she up and leaves everyone will know what is up.
Really? That is her biggest concern right now? This is her attempt to manipulate the situation. What bull. If she is so worried about what other people think then perhaps she shouldn't have put herself in this place to begin with.
She can find another gym or simply take a run outside. Simple solutions to make an effort to eliminate the OM from the picture if she truly wanted to.
Please go to the Healing Library and read up on the 180.
Time to start it NOW.
Your WW is in her fantasy fog and you have to realize the person she was is no longer the person she is.
Perhaps considering having D papers drawn up to show her what all is at stake. You don't have to file but the reality of her actions will quickly come to light.
Is the trainer married? If so, then his BS needs to also be informed. It will bring the whole ugly lie out in the open.
You will be okay. We are here. I am sorry if some of this sounds harsh. I simply do not want to see you strung along and hurt further.
Good luck. Keep posting. Keep reading.
(((hugs and prayers)))

Thanks, everyone. One thing my therapist keeps telling me is to NOT tell others about this (especially mutual friends).. that it makes no sense to ruin her life in the community and our childrens' lives.
I've already started the 180 process. I was well on my way to a better me until I kept snooping and found more info. That put me right back to Day 1, I reacted emotionally and that set her back (funny how that works).
The trainer dude told my wife to no longer attend the class. He's worried about his business and other people knowing... plus I chatted with him and laid all kinds of guilt on him. I think it finally clicked. What's sick is that she found a way around that little rule and attended ANOTHER one of his classes. She's pursuing him. Ugh.
I asked the therapist about an NC ultimatum. She suggested we wait until I meet with her again.

Why wait for an NC letter.
If your WW realy wants to R then an NC letter, mailed by you so that you know it was sent, shouldn't be a problem.
As for letting others know, A's hate daylight.
There are always cosiqueceses for your choices.
tushnurse posted 8/7/2013 07:57 AM
with all due respect - Your therapist may be great at IC, however they don't have a clue with how to deal with infidelity.
Don't tell others? Um no! You get to tell and confide in anyone you see fit to. You need someone IRL to discuss this with, then do.
I absolutely 100% disagree with not sending a NC letter. The sooner you put your foot down, and make her realize that you are not going to be her doormat, the sooner you start healing yourself. With or without her. If she is unwilling to come out of the fog, then that is her choice, but you need to be strong for you.

Business Brings Manufacturing and Jobs to Flathead Valley
Fifteen years ago, Jason Sonju was pounding out dents at his father's auto body repair shop. Today, he's director of programming for the family-owned business, Sonju Industrial Inc., which has acquired top-dollar defense contracts with some of the largest aerospace and defense corporations in the world- Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman.
From collision repair to laser-guided missiles and assault rifles, the company has expanded steadily through the years, seizing on one opportunity after another. Sonju Industrial's aggressive search for new business ventures has allowed it to expand through the recession, adapting to the changing political climes and mounting a firm reputation in the world of defense contracting.
The growth, while steady, has not been without its obstacles.
When Congress stopped funding of the F-22 Raptor in early 2009, for example, Sonju Industrial's contract with Boeing was jeopardized. Although Lockheed-Martin makes the jet, some of its components come from Boeing, and Sonju Industrial was a direct supplier of those parts.
Opting for a less expensive plane, Congress shut off the tap and the contract dried up.
Fortunately, Sonju Industrial was enjoying a revenue spike in another of its ventures – manufacturing assault rifles. In fact, Sonju Industrial opened up a sister company to manufacture the AR-15, SI Defense.
Sonju Industrial has cultivated the "mentor-protégé" relationship with some of the biggest names in aerospace and defense, including Raytheon, a Tuscon-based company that is currently the fourth-largest missile manufacturer in the world. The corporations appreciate Sonju Industrial's quality work, timely production, on-time delivery and consistent cost estimates.
Today, Sonju Industrial has a staff of more than 30 full-time employees. They program software and operate robotic machines, which cost between $250,000 and $3 million. The machines produce parts so small they fit in the palm of your hand, and other the size of your thigh.
The machines bite into tungsten, aluminum and titanium, constructing fins for missiles, lower receivers for semi-automatic assault rifles, as well as "fracture critical" parts that go into the production of airplane wings and landing gears.
"People are getting on these planes and their lives are in our hands," Dick Sonju, president of Sonju Industrial said.
He's come a long way since pounding out dents, and now spends much of his time sitting at a computer, programming data that tells each machine precisely what and where to cut, down to the tiniest fraction of a millimeter.
"You enter the wrong decimal point and that's a thousand-dollar scrap of titanium," he said. "If something zigs when is should have zagged, you have to start all over."
Manufacturing these types of products is not cheap and requires a lot of capital. Sonju Industrial must get specific certifications and those certifications are hard and expensive to obtain and maintain, as well as the price of it's raw materials and machinery. Luckily Sonju Industrial has been able to take advantage of SBA's loan programs along the way.

Setting up a homework station for students
As the end of summer draws near, it's a good idea to start thinking about the upcoming school year, and how to best help children succeed.Success in school is a marriage of many factors. Proper study habits and continued education at home are some of those factors."The assignment of homework, over time, serves to foster the kinds of qualities that are critical to learning — persistence, diligence, and the ability to delay gratification," said Janine Bempechat, author of "Getting Our Kids Back on Track: Educating Kids for the Future" (Jossey-Bass, 2000). "These [skills] become increasingly necessary as students graduate to higher levels of scholarship in middle school, high school and beyond."To facilitate the homework process and good study habits at home, create a study, homework area at home that can help students along the way. Here's what can be included.DeskA desk is the centerpiece of any homework area. Think about the purpose of the desk and what activities it should be able to handle. You may want the desk to be able to grow with the child. Do you envision it holding a desktop computer or a laptop at some time? Keep these factors in mind when purchasing a desk.Size is an important component, too. A desk that is too tall or large may not fit into the space you have in your home, and it simply may not be comfortable for the student using it. He or she should be able to sit at the desk with feet flat on the floor and arms clearing the top of the desk. If placing a computer monitor on the desk, it should be eye level and a foot or more away from the person using it.QuietMost students find a quiet place is conducive to studying. Therefore, the study area should be placed in a quiet part of the home. Is there a spare bedroom that can be used? What about a nook in a finished basement? The student's own bedroom may not be the best place, because he or she may be distracted by other things in the room, such as televisions, phones or toys.ProximityStudy supplies, such as pens, paper, reference books and other items, should be located nearby to the homework station so that it does not necessitate a trip into another room to retrieve something. Consider a desk that has drawers for small supplies. A bookcase or storage container placed next to the desk can house larger items. Allowing for the fewest distractions possible, including getting up and leaving the study area for supplies, are ideas for promoting good study habits.

In the moments before the first plane hit the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, officials from 18 states had gathered for the annual Southern Governors' Association conference in Lexington. As Governor of Kentucky and chairman of the association, I was hosting the event.
It was a dark day, maybe the darkest.
Ten years have passed since Sept. 11, 2001. Ten years have come and gone since planes flew into three buildings and one crashed in an open field. People have lived now for a decade without a loved one who was either on a plane or in a building just minding their own business. They did not choose their fate and neither did the country. It happened anyway.
I have a confession to make.
My name is John and I am a tomato bum.
For most of my adult life, I have been able to slip through the summer rarely spending money on the most wonderful of summer fruit — the vine-ripened, but still carrying flecks of dirt, homegrown Kentucky tomato.
For me, homegrown tomatoes are the crystal meth of agriculture. Usually, the first taste is free but after that, they start charging. And as soon as you're are done with the first one, you crave more.
Secretary of State candidate Bill Johnson was in Owen County Thursday. After a hard day's work from the time he unhooked his pickup from his travel trailer at Kentucky Horse Park, to loading up the yard signs, to asking for votes and endorsements from the home of Paul Smith in south Owen County to the enterprises along Owenton's Seminary Street, Johnson spoke that evening at the very first event sponsored by Pro-Israel Voters for Bill Johnson.
All of us remember places from our childhood that don't exist anymore. Whether it's the old home place that has been bulldozed or a family farm that has been divided into lots, the landscape of the past has changed.
This change is often called "progress." While progress can improve lives of families and communities, not all change is progress. Many people are realizing that their quality of life and the character of their communities are being diminished by continued conversion of farms and forest to other uses.
I love Chinese food. It's one of my favorite types of food to eat and I especially like the fortune cookie you get when they give you the bill. I've traveled to Asia and they really don't give you fortune cookies at most restaurants there.
The fortune cookie is an American thing, but it's fun anyway.
While I don't follow the signs or stars or don't let astrology rule my thought process — except for belief in that whole full moon thing — I do save the fortunes from my cookies.
One of the things that has impressed me most about Owen countiains since I came here nearly three years ago is the strong sense of independence people around here constantly display and their commitment to preserving the past.
When word started circulating around town last week that Saveway would be closing its doors, people took it personally.
"There has never been a time during my life when there wasn't a Saveway,"
I faced an ugly truth this week.
It's about time to say goodbye to an old friend - my 1999 Toyota Sienna van.
When I bought the van from the Kentucky Press Association, it already had about 130,000 miles on it. Most of those were highway miles. It had been used my staff members who had to attend meetings and workshops around the state and nation.
David Thompson, president of KPA, is meticulous about making sure the oil was changed well before the 3,000 mile mark.
As I write this, it's Election Day. According to Owen County Clerk Joan Kincaid, it looks like a lot of people are coming out to vote on this topic.
The fight over the wet/dry issue wasn't particularly bloody thank goodness.
When I was the editor of the Times-Tribune in Corbin, the local-option issue came to a vote and it made for some strange bedfellows.
There are dozens of volunteers working in the hot sun to put Owen County in the best light possible.
These aren't paid employees. Most of them are small business owners or just concerned private citizens who want to see Owen County grow and prosper.
The first-ever Owen County Fan Fair opens today and will continue through Sunday.
The event is designed to give Owen County a moment in the spotlight as people travel to the big Sprint Cup race in Sparta this weekend.
It's almost fair time again in Owen County, which likely means the coming week will bring back many fond memories for me.
Throughout my entire life, my dad has owned and operated his own business. While most people are beginning to wind down from a day of work at 5 p.m., sometimes it seemed like dad would just be gearing up for work. During the summer months it was come home, gobble down supper and head straight to the tobacco field or garden.
A few weeks ago, I had a conservation with David Morgan and Holly Bowling about the upcoming Fan Fair and some other projects they are undertaking to promote Owen County.
The Visioneers group, to which they belong, has worked tirelessly to organize this event and it should be pretty amazing.
One issue that we discussed is the need to clean up some parts of the county that visitors will see on their way to the Sprint Cup race in Sparta or to our own Fan Fair.
Don't miss the "must-attend" event of the year July 26, 2011, at your voting poll.
Last month on May 17, Primary Election Day, only 14 percent of the registered voters in Owen County went to the polls and voted. How to get citizens to vote is a question for people more knowledgeable about this than I.
As your county clerk it is my responsibility to make sure that on election day the machines are ready and supplies available for the precinct workers.
My staff and I have been busy getting ready for the special July 26 election.
It's hard to imagine that a group popular a couple dozen years before I was born — and disbanded long before I was thought of — could make such an impact on the person I've become.
I was about 10 years old the first time I heard a Beatles song. From the opening harmonica in "Love Me Do," I set out on a never-ending quest of Beatles knowledge.
In a short time I collected all of their albums, even some on long-playing records — a format not too many kids my age even recognized at the time.
Yet again, the people of Owen County have shown their true colors.
The economy has caused hardship for many people this year. Lots of people are feeling the crunch in the gas tank, the grocery store, and practically everywhere else. But right now the state of Kentucky is working with Adult Education Centers to help those who need the GED to take the test free.
Director of Owen County Adult Learning Center Veronica Gayle said education will be even more important in the future.
It's no surprise to anyone who has spent time in and around the county clerk's office that the clerk and staff have been busy. We are preparing for both the Primary Election May 17, 2011, and for the Delinquent Real Estate Tax Bill Sale.
On May 17, voters will go to the polls to vote on candidates for the state offices of Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor of Public Accounts, Commissioner of Agriculture, and State Treasurer.
If some were disappointed in my less than patriotic reaction to the death of bin Laden, I ask you to remember that I am 80 years old. I had just turned 11 when the Japanese had the effrontery to attack the sleeping giant and forced Roosevelt to declare war on the Axis.
I lived with our news media — at the time, the movies — vilify the Japanese race, put Japanese Americans in internment camps and confiscate their property. Now the Japanese are our best buddies and own most of America.
Like most Americans, I hadn't really given Osama bin Laden much thought in recent years.
He had become the bogeyman that still lingered in the shadows from years ago.
He had become an embarrassment that frustrated Americans who wanted to see justice.
He had became a punch line in the movie "The Hangover."
"Thanks a lot, Osama."
That sentiment barely changed for me Saturday afternoon when bin Laden popped back up when I was looking through a stack of old newspapers stored in my garage.

text: One of the benefits of living in the 'Sunshine State' other then the great year round weather, minus the nervous few months of hurricane season, is that high school baseball gets cranked up early. With the third Monday of January as the uniform state date for Florida high schools to start baseball practice, many teams and players are well into form the first week of February. One of those players which I have had a chance to watch so far this year is Cardinal Mooney RHP Michael Heller. Michael is one of the best two way players in the nation and has signed with the University of Florida. Looking at the number of scouts that have been attending his outings so far this year on the mound, the thought of him ever stepping foot on the Gator campus, is getting smaller and smaller.Through three starts on the hill this year, Heller has shown more 'pitchablility' then in the past. In his first start, a pre-season game against a strong Mariner High School (Cape Coral, FL) squad, Heller didn't disappoint the more then 40 scouts that were in attendance, as his first pitch was a fastball that registered at 94mph. Through out his three innings he continued to pitch at 93-94 while topping at 97mph. What was more interesting then in the past was that Heller was able to maintain his velocity on all his pitches, including a slider that showed better pace and greater depth.His second start was against another strong team from the Pendleton Academy (Bradenton, FL). If you are not familiar with Pendleton, you need to be, as they run a first class operation that can be intimidating to a point. Their players, all good prospects led by Miami bound J.R. Murphy and UNC-Wilmington signee Blaze Tart, resemble a minor league team in both appearance and ability. Although not as sharp as his first outing, Heller was able to top at 95mph and stuck out 8 in 4 innings. More importantly then the mound performance was the fact that he injured his knee sliding head first into home with the tying run in the top of the 6th. The knee injury, although minor, kept Heller off the field for 2 1/2 weeks. Yesterday he was able to re-take the hill against St.Pete Catholic. Heller worked that last three innings after another highly rated Cardinal Mooney prospect, Ryan Heuler-'10 who has committed to UNC. With the college season under way, there were only about 25 scouts in attendance, all interested to see how he would perform after his 'time off'. Once again Heller showed what he has been showing so far this year, a plus fastball that topped yesterday at 95mph and a late, hard slider. Through his three innings of work, Heller allowed one hit and struck out 5 as he was getting a feel for being back on the hill.In a year were velocity seems to be a little light, Heller's ability to maintain his 'pitching' speed in the 93-95mph range has forced him up the board a little bit in many organizations draft boards. Next week should be an interesting match up as Heller will be facing off against another top rated 2009 player, Bobby Borchering of Bishop Verot High School (Ft.Myers, FL). Power versus power.

David Falkof: Hi, my name is David Falkof. I'm a mutual fund analyst at Morningstar, and I'm here today with Michael Corr from Vanguard. He is a senior manager in the education savings group.
Mike, I thought we would just start in terms of investors looking at 529 plans, which is sort of the common way to save for college, for a new investor what's the best way to start? What are some of the top considerations they should have?
Michael Corr: There are three really, David. The first thing investors should consider when choosing a 529 plan is to look at their home state's plan. They should look at their home state's plan because various states offer tax deductions for contributions to a 529 plan, and that state tax deduction might be available only to residents of a particular state. So if you live in a particular state, your plan may offer you a deduction for contributions to the plan. Some states even offer a tax credit. So look at your home state first.
Next, cost matters. Look at the cost of a plan. How much are you paying for the program management fee?
And then finally, look at the investment lineup. Know what you want to invest in and the options available to you in a particular plan. So, [three considerations are] home state, price, and investment options.
Falkof: Now, let's say someone chooses a plan, and typically there are a few age-based options as well as static portfolios. The age-based options tend to be more common, and there tends to be a conservative or moderate, and aggressive [strategy], different risk tolerances. How should investors go about deciding which age-based option is suitable for them?
Corr: This is one of the core principles that we look at Vanguard when we educate people on how they should think about investing and [how they should] look at their risk tolerance. If you're more aggressive, you're going to have greater equity exposure. So the aggressive track might be more suitable to you. The moderate and the conservative tracks have less equity exposure.
One of the ways you can determine what your risk tolerance is, is to go on to the Vanguard website or go on to a website that's for your 529 plan that you're looking at. Many of them have investor questionnaires that help you assess what your risk tolerance might be, and based on that you can choose a track that is appropriate for you.
Falkof: Let's talk a little bit about Vanguard's involvement in the 529 space. Vanguard takes a slightly different approach than many other asset management firms. Could you talk a little bit about how Vanguard approaches the 529 world?
Corr: Yes. We believe that investors should have simplicity and choice, and we accomplish this in two ways. First, we have the age-based options that you just referenced that typically use three tracks--aggressive, moderate, and conservative--based on risk tolerance. These are portfolios that shift to a more conservative asset allocation as the beneficiary gets older. And we believe that all beneficiaries, even in the most aggressive track, should be out of equities by age 19 when preservation of principal is absolutely needed to pay for college tuitions at or about the time the beneficiary is going to matriculate.
Also in the plans that we service, we typically have a variety of what we call stand-alone portfolios. These are portfolios that are either multifund portfolios--what might be called a fund of funds--or they are just individual mutual funds contained within a portfolio offered by a 529 plan. The investor then has the option of doing two things. One, he or she could choose the age-based track and one that is suitable for them. That's a kind of a set-it-and-forget-it [strategy], and that provides the simplicity that an investor might need to invest for college savings. Alternatively, they could construct their own portfolio based on the suite of individual or stand-alone options that we provide.
I should add a third, they might choose the age-based option and then wish to overweight in a particular category of asset, whether it be equities or fixed income, by using some of the stand-alone portfolios.
So really what you get when you do this is not only the simplicity--because we believe in a transparent approach to this portfolio setup—but it enables us to provide these options at low cost because really these age-based options are constructed of a total of six different portfolios. That keeps it at a minimum, and it keeps it simple. But it gets you exposure to all the major asset classes that you need for an effective investment program.
Falkof: Thank you so much, Mike. This has been very informative. For Morningstar, I'm David Falkof. Thanks for joining us.

HANG TIME, Texas — It was a two-point game with three minutes left to play. There was all the set-up for another contested and contentious finish.
After their squabble from 17 days earlier, would either Kevin Garnett or Carmelo Anthony wind up down on the floor?
As a matter of fact, K.G. did hit the parquet at T.D. Garden. But there was a pleasantly accommodating 'Melo to lend a helping hand to get a brother back onto his feet.
The only thing missing was a chorus of "Kumbaya" in place of the national anthem as the Knicks-Celtics blood feud tip-toed quietly into the night, according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com:
"There's no grudges between myself and KG," Anthony said. "He fell, and I helped him up."
No one knew exactly what to expect, but an outbreak of politeness and a tepid home crowd were not on the menu. Other than a few benign shoves between Garnett and Tyson Chandler in the midst of the fourth quarter and a handful of rogue heckles referencing Garnett's supposed infamous insult, there was nothing extraordinary.
"I was expecting it to be a hostile environment," Anthony said. "It was kind of quiet."
Said Amar'e Stoudemire: "I was thinking the crowd was going to be a little more rude."
This could be either the city of Boston rejecting hundreds of years of reputation or — and this is much more likely — a fan base and a Celtics team that had bigger worries than meting out retribution for a guy who stood half-menacingly in a loading dock surrounded by a dozen security guards as Anthony did back on Jan. 7.
In other words, rather than the anticipated clamor of a Melo-K.G. Showdown II, was this the sighing sound of the Celtics running into reality while the Knicks gallop onto bigger things?
At this point, these are two teams circling in different orbits. Boston lost its fifth straight game, is under .500 and walking with one foot in the gutter of the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
So much for the effect of coach Doc Rivers flipping his usually cool lid and threatening to buy one-way tickets out of town for any of his players who didn't buy into the program and start playing better.
A lot of us have been looking at that storied name across the front of those green-and-white jerseys, read the famous and accomplished names across the back and been trying to convince ourselves that it was only a matter of time before Boston shifted into gear.
But maybe this is as good as it gets for the Celtics. While Rajon Rondo put up a triple-double and Paul Pierce played showed some of the old fire, the reason that the Garden was so quiet — dare we say it, so meek? — was perhaps the fans understand that there is no torch to be passed. It has already been extinguished.
On the other hand, after four losses in six games, the Knicks could be out of their funk and back in the business of resuming their chase of Miami for the role of top dog in the East (while holding off the charging Nets).
Even with a loss on Monday night, the Knicks still split the season series with Brooklyn and got their best game to date from Stoudemire. They could get Raymond Felton (broken finger) back in the lineup as soon as Saturday at Philly.
Coach Mike Woodson's new challenge could be finding time and space for all of his healthy players and, according to Frank Isola of the New York Daily News:
Felton's return will result in the Knicks having all their guards healthy for the first time all season.
Shumpert is expected to remain in the starting lineup, and Woodson hinted that he may play Shumpert at small forward and start Felton and Kidd in the backcourt.
"I don't know," Woodson said. "I'll have options when Raymond comes back. And I'm not saying that Kidd's possibly going to go to the bench."
The original plan was to use Kidd as the first guard off the bench while limiting his minutes. In all likelihood that's what Woodson will do, because a starting lineup with Anthony, Shumpert, Kidd and Felton makes the rebounding-challenged Knicks small.
"I'm killing Kidd in terms of not having Raymond in a uniform, playing him a lot of minutes," Woodson said. "We need Kidd for the long haul.
"If it means starting him or coming off the bench, Kidd's going to play.
"I don't care if he starts or if he comes off. I don't think it really matters to him either. He's going to play because he's a big piece to what we do."
Of course, those are the good kinds of problems to have in New York. Plus, it's far different from what's going on in Boston, where the sounds of silence speak volumes.

Had to dig this thread up, because yesterday my sister and I went to the theater I said was so good about handling disturbances. The movie was "The Other Guys," and the theater was packed.I have to ask: did you enjoy the movie? It looks very funny.
I saw Volcano, which takes place in Southern California, in Chicago with two other native Californians. We were cracking up at a lot of the inside jokes that no one else in the theater got.

Vogue Russia Gets On Board With Stevie Nicks Witchiness, Bohemian Headbands
As much as I like to make fun of Audrey from Girls for being a huge fashion victim with her camo-print rompers and culturally insensitive headbands, I believe there's a right way to wear this un-killable trend. Why, I've even been known to rock a floral headband myself. I'm also a fan of that witchy, lacey, Steve Nicks look, which is good, because it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Considering these two facts, then, it's no surprise I approve of this ethereal photo spread in the March issue of Vogue Russia, which does the late winter/early spring nature sprite thing quite well. On a related note, my birthday is in March, so I am going to pretend they made this editorial just for me.

BOSTON — As far as we know, Tyler Seguin did not oversleep today.
He took the morning skate with the Bruins at the TD Garden and head coach Claude Julien confirmed his team's leading scorer would return to the lineup tonight against the Florida Panthers.
Seguin was a healthy scratch Tuesday night in Winnipeg, where the Bruins lost, 2-1. He missed a team breakfast/meeting and was punished for that. He claimed to have overslept because he set his alarm wrong. There are holes in the story, but that's what we know.
Here's my column from CBSBoston.com on the matter.
Today after the skate, Seguin limited his comments on the matter to one line. After that a team PR staffer forbid questions on the topic. But rookie Jordan Caron, who was Seguin's roommate Monday night in Winnipeg and lives with Seguin in Charlestown, did touch on the subject.
"It's an accident and nobody wants to see that happen and I don't think it will happen again," said Caron, who noted that he tried calling Seguin when it was apparent he would be late.
With Seguin in tow, the Bruins are at full strength again and they'll need all their weapons against the surprising Panthers, who are just one point back of Boston for second in the Eastern Conference. Kevin Dineen has taken over the Panthers and ushered in the turnaround.

It seems like a reverse SAO, game in real life.
While the main character did perhaps act so dumb that he doesn't deserve to live... The alternative would been for him to immediately realize, "I. Am in BTOOM! I must use these BIMs to kill everyone I meet. Unless of course they are attractive, blonde and bathing in a pool in which case I should obviously team up with them and start a romance." oh wait...
Dude in life or death situations you either cave in from the pressure or rise to the occasion . Put into perspective he just came from civilization he tried to expend all of his options,seeing how his life was on the line he was scared out of his wits and couldn't think straight. If held a gun up to your head would you be calm and of lucid mind ? or panicking and pleading for your life not to shoot you instead of formulating a plan. Same scenario with the bombs.he wanted to avoid the situation since it was chaos, and lets not forget killing someone is one of the most horrifying things a person can do and for some people it change them and even destroys them from the guilt and remorse of killing them. So of course your gonna think twice before retaliating in self-defense. Then also the character's personality also plays a factor too... people this is very realistic ...all your comments and statements are unrealistic...you wouldn't be james bond in a warzone don't go criticising others.. if you were in afghanistan right now you wouldn't know what the hell to do and would be crying your ass off ..yes i said it you otaku's i believe you don't have the capability to do what your average anime character pulls off in a high intensity situation like this..i believe you'll end up dead doing something stupid and rash.

Chapter 50 is out for the manga, and so are 51-53 but raw...
Ryouta has chance at having sex with Himiko...but like any good main character...he doesn't take advantage of her...instead he tells her he'll wait til they are a couple when they are off the island.
They kiss tho
i need guest passes!
The last episode was great but I was really hoping it would be a little more violent. The reality is that children are more violent than adults when put in life or death situations, but maybe it had to do with the fact that Kira is just crazy.
Episode 5
Nice to see a little mini review of what's happening there in the beginning. Shit got real and game is in now. Tbh, I don't think Himiko really hates men but just from the experiences she suffered. I mean, she sort of hesitated during that fight with Ryouta.
Anyways, nice episode imo. They're about to be eaten alive. Dinner is served:
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
so now look more reason why there all in the island?
ryouta & taira have food seen dead fat guy then lead ryouta to scout seen another corpse & blonde himiko.
give ryouta be nice guy but himiko still boom all the men so dodge both bombs & stun it aim back at himiko at least rid bomb & sorta peek?
cause himiko still stun want boom it all but ryouta stop her & night sure have a kumbaya camp song til more reveal reason in island cause of people they know send them there.
& now prepare to battle giant lizards!!!
Mar_Klac_Vel ...common man !!! thats a major spoiler for others...anyway are you using a translator?
I have read this part of the manga already .So far I do like this anime for what it is. Its pretty dark .
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
and those Komodo dragons are pretty nasty. Their teeth are as sharp as sharks but its full of bacteria.So if you get bitten without any antibiotic therapy, you will die. They do attack human but rarely and they are also scavenger ,so they will eat the dead remains. Maybe these ones are pretty hungry because they going to hunt and ambush our main characters and they do group hunting indeed. Their sense of smell is their hunting detector but their eyesight is weak in dim lights but when they can see they can see 300 m away.
,now back to reading...

Episode 6
An okay episode imo. I liked Taira's speech about how Karma's a bitch and will come back to haunt you. He got that right. I also liked how he used his bombs (although they didn't have too much effect in the end). Ultimately though, it's his bravery that saved Himeko and she should be grateful for that.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
decent episode. Himiko should be thankful shes still alive after being knocked out for so long, and be a little more grateful. They need to pick up the pace a little bit. The show is draggin its feet a little.
-> insert witty one liner here <-
Overall, not a bad episode.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Unless they have some serious antibiotics, Taira is doomed from that bite. Kodomo dragon bites can be fatal.
Nice bit at the end. I was wondering when we'd see him again.
ha ha ha , i forgot to watch the episode 6 and read the manga instead ha haha ..
anyway , If there was a bit of realism , the infection should have circulated in the blood stream already and not a localized infection , there is nothing like the likes of a 40% alcohol can kill the infection, medical grade alcohol is at least 70 % .Actually it would have been better if he wash and soak his leg on sea water .
A komodo dragon's mouth is full of bacteria and you die with bacterimia without strong antibiotics to fight it.
So this part is kinda lame .
Anyway , there are inconsistency . They call the mechanism for tracking via radar and then Sakamoto called it out as sonar at 20:55
However lots of things are going to happen next and more things will be revealed ... the preview tells a lot though and the title of the next is .... anyway i already know what going happens next but i cant wait to watch the actions.
by the way the seiyuu for Sakamoto is an actor , his delivery is a bit different

I can't stop loving Kira Kosuke. He is just so lovely.
Episode 6 was great.

It's good to see character development; everyone on that island will have trust issues now that they've discovered how they were selected. The blonde girl has trust issues from being nearly raped.
Taira is a liar... he said he was a teacher... and he's collecting those green things behind Sakamoto's back.
Sakamoto seems like he has split personality... one is a serial killer and the other a normal teenage boy.
I want to see what happens next.
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly

lets not forget he was on the receiving end of a high powered Tazer applied directly to the back of his skull. That's bound to mess up the brain something nasty.
avoiding doing any work today
you mean like ECT?
electrocconvulsive therapy that was used as a treatment for mania, severre depression and catatonia that was done in the 40's and 50's ?
There seem to be a lot of messed up people sent in that island anyway. Sociopath and Psychopath alike.Anyway, people go into split personality so they can cope with the situation, its a coping mechanism. Its the degree of how much of yourself really changes to adjust and solve the problem is the difference among us.
ha ha I am getting carried away... must go back to reading

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) >> A historian who found the buried remnants of a Dutch Colonial fort in Albany 45 years ago says he has pinpointed the location of an earlier fortification.
John Wolcott says he used old maps to determine the exact location of Fort Nassau in what is now the northern end of a rail spur at the Port of Albany, along the Hudson River's west bank.
Wolcott says the spot should be searched for artifacts or the fort's remains, and if any are found, a larger archaeological excavation should be done to preserve the site.
Dutch explorers built Fort Nassau in 1614 but abandoned it three years later because of flooding. Fort Orange was built nearby and later became Albany.
Global Partners has backed off plans to build a crude oil facility where Wolcott says the fort was located.

Welcome to Orania, South Africa: a whites-only enclave established in 1991 during the dying years of apartheid.
The town in the sparsely populated Karoo region is inhabited only by Afrikaners.
These descendants of Dutch-speaking migrants who arrived in South Africa in 1652 with Jan van Riebeeck, now make up 6 percent of the "Rainbow Nation's" population, but they make up 100 percent of rural Orania.
It was the Afrikaners who formed the backbone of the National Party that introduced apartheid, and many South Africans regard Orania's residents as little more than latter-day bittereinders — a term used for Boer War holdouts — who rage against majority rule.
However, residents maintain the town is not racist. They argue that Orania is the best way of preserving Afrikaner culture and language and offers a safe sanctuary from crime-ridden neighborhoods.
"We are safe here," resident Kobus Jonck said. "We do not worry about locking our cars at night, even the [house] doors ... they are never locked."
It is easy to see why some may find the setting idyllic.
The town is built on the 8,000 hectares of a private farm, along the Orange River, in the beautifully desolate Northern Cape Province.
There are no high-rise buildings or factories. Children run barefoot between small prefabricated homes.
According to the town's authorities, its modest population of 1,000 is growing at 9 percent a year.
Jonck, a sheep farmer, settled in Orania last year with his family only after going through an interview process with the town committee.
"When new people come to Orania, they are interviewed by a group of people to make sure that they have sufficient understanding of what the town is about," said Carel Boshoff IV, the son of the late founder of the town, Carel Boshoff III.
Its leaders have dreams of turning it into an independent state for the Afrikaner minority, who today number 3 million.
In line with the town's motto of "working for freedom," residents are encouraged to be self-sufficient, and the majority are farmers or traders. They all work to grow and develop the town and labor is provided by the townspeople; as little as possible comes from the outside.
Like any other town, Orania is run by a council which is elected on an annual basis, according to Mayor Harry Theron.
It boasts shops, schools and its own flag and currency, the ora, which is pegged to South Africa's rand. However, unlike other towns, blacks are not welcome.
At the entrance of the town, a statue of Hendrik Verwoerd, the architect of apartheid, stands proudly among other prominent icons of the old South Africa.
The town's flag with blue, white and orange colors similar to the old apartheid flag is visible everywhere across this microstate in the making.
It is perhaps ironic that Orania's existence is protected under article 235 of South Africa's Constitution, which ensures the right to self-determination.
The legislation was adopted after the end of apartheid, following years of fighting against the system of separate homelands for blacks.
"This republic is growing," proclaimed Quintin Diederichs, a former rugby player who became a resident three years ago. "We have fifty companies that we have created with our own hands," Diederichs said.
However, beneath the seemingly safe and secure environment lurks paranoia. Some residents believe that one day blacks might turn against them.

I haven't yelled "Oh my God!" out loud in a while. That was awful.
And people think the zombie apocalypse would be "fun."
I've seen a lot of horrific trauma pictures in my life, so this didn't really shock me.
Weird, because the photos of that Japanese man's cooked testicles did nauseate me.
Do you really? Ogrish and Stileproject along with Rotten were some of the websites that got me to say to my younger self "Alright, that's enough fucked up bullshit exploration, you'll be jacking off to shit porn in no time if you keep this up..."
I remember Ogrish publishing all those beheading videos.
Reminded me of this little fellow.
Never went to rotten.com, never watched the beheading videos, and won't look at this either. I like not having seen shit like that.
My cousin is still traumatized to this day after watching the Daniel pearl video.
About to go eat, just looked at the pics. Reminds me of this for some reason:
Things like OgrishForum.com desensitized me long ago...though I still don't particularly 'like' looking at stuff like that.
I was waiting for the completely obvious yet completely necessary reference to Face Off. Thank you for delivering.
what i'd like to know is if they pumped the cannibals stomach for the pieces of his face in an attempt to patch them back onto the surface of his skull
Ate right around the beard.
I don't like how he's just looking at you.
Uuuuuuuuhhhhhhh, does cartilage not do it for you,... sir,... cannibal? I thought it was only a nibble, not the whole fucking face when I heard of this this evening.
I also spent a lot of time on rotton dot com because I have a sick family who revelled in the grotesque and vile. I still squirm at these images though.
oh Miami, you never cease to amaze me...the local hospital where the victim and zombie were taken is saying he was high on that new bath salts shit.
Unprecented. Never heard of a case like this one.
I think rotten and stileproject played a big part in my ability to not bat an eye at some of the shit I see as a paramedic......that or I'm just sick. Probably the latter.
You do have to be a pretty sick person to be a medic.
I've seen a lot of crime scene photos and I really don't get why anybody would want to look at this stuff. Life's too short... and that's somebody's family.
It's kind of like a radio station calling a dead guy's house to crack jokes. It's.... why? Just why?
Some people are curious about the meat sacks we all wander around in.
had a friend when i was a kid whose dad was a reconstructive plastic surgeon. this kid had volumes of his dads medical books on his shelves loaded with pictures of trauma patients. after seeing what a face looks like when all the bones basically turn to dust was enough for me to never really be interested in looking at stuff like that again.

Victorians face jump in power prices
Victorians will be forced to pay more on their electricity bills next year, after the government approved price hikes by the state's power retailers as part of their annual cost reviews.
The new charges, signed off by the Australian Energy Regulator, were proposed by service providers CitiPower, Powercor, SP AusNet, Jemena Electricity and United Energy, and will lift average bills by about 4 per cent for the year to December 31.
AER chairman Andrew Reeves said the tariffs were designed to recover the costs associated with transporting electricity along the low and high voltage power lines, which made up between 30-40 per cent of total residential electricity bills in Victoria.
"For the average residential customer, the increase due to the increase in network charges would be approximately $80 on a $1900 annual total bill,'' he said. ''The impact will vary according to the customer's consumption and its location. A customer's total bill may also be affected by changes in wholesale electricity costs and retail costs.''
Mr Reeves said network charges for the average residential customer were expected to increase by 16 per cent for 2013.
"This would correspond to an average increase in retail tariffs of about 5 per cent. The impact of the approved network charges will differ, depending upon a customer's individual tariff and to which DNSP the customer is connected."
Network charges for Powercor and SP AusNet include the pass through of additional costs for approved bushfire related safety expenditure.
The pre-Christmas announcement comes amid already heavy criticism of the regulator over the introduction of smart meters, as well as ''gold-plating'' (overspending on networks) and spiralling power bills.
Despite criticism over the introduction of smart meters in Victoria, the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has pushed for them to be introduced nationally, saying they would save families $250 a year on bills.
The regulator said the new price hikes also included ''time of use'' tariffs, which will come into force from July 1 for customers who have a smart meters.

My tama of ten years just evolved into the old woman tama. I was wondering will this character get presents that it can keep? She can't play with her presents from the adult stage so I wasn't sure if she would get new ones.

A seventeen year old girl was among those injured in the wreck that occured on the final lap of the Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Blake Bobbitt was hit by a piece of sheet metal that flew into the grandstands where she and her father were seated after Carl Edwards hit the catchfence and sent debris flying into the stands after making contact with Brad Keselowski and being sent airborne by contact with Ryan Newman.
Bobbitt suffered a broken jaw. She was stabilized, and taken to the infield care center. Shortly thereafter, she was transported to the a local hospital where she underwent reconstructive surgery and inserted two plates into her jaw.
Edwards called the hospital to check on her status, and make sure she was okay.
She is expected to make a full recovery, and is expected to be released from the hospital sometime today.
I, for one, am glad to hear that.

Tightened immigration controls may put graduate courses at risk.
A fall in the number of students entering the United Kingdom could cause problems for graduate courses in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), warns Universities UK (UUK) in London, which represents more than 130 institutions. According to the Office for National Statistics, 8.2% fewer international students arrived in the country in the year to March 2012 than in the previous year. The UUK says that the drop may be linked to changes that make visas harder to get. Jo Attwooll, a policy adviser for the UUK, notes that UK graduate STEM classes have tended to include a lot of non-European students. "Immigration policy could affect the number of students taking these courses and thus their viability," she says. (...) - Naturejobs, Nature 492, 301 (2012), 12 December 2012

When all is said and done more is said than done.
Sounds like Nolan Dennis will be the next kid to commit to Kentucky under Coach Cal. #44 overall prospect in next year's class by ESPN... I *LOVE* this development. Nolan is an extremely talented kid who will be awesome at Kentucky, but he's also a kid who will likely stick around for AT LEAST 3 years. It's going to be important to get some of those supremely talented kids who will stick with the program for more than one season.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
Let's say Wall spurns Kentucky and goes to Duke in order to stay close to home. He's in the ACC and it is unlikely Kentucky plays Duke unless its in the NCAA tournament.
Now lets say Wall goes to Kentucky. Bledsoe's top choices after UK are Alabama and Florida (Doubt UC factors much into the equation). We get Wall for one year, he departs, and we are likely facing Bledsoe as much as three times a year.
I'm sure you can see my point with Robbie Hummel. You just have to hope Cal can keep the revolving door continuing at PG, whether its Brandon Knight, Tony Wroten, Joe Jackson, or whoever.
Secondly, I'd take Nolan Dennis all day every day over Bledsoe. Dennis is MUCH taller (6'5") and is a combo guard who can do it all.
I would say that Bledsoe is a player that Cal looks at only as a back-up plan. He would also almost certainly recruit over him with a bigger guard who is just as--if not more--talented by his second year.

Oracle Reinstates Free Time Zone Updates For Java 7 61
twofishy writes "The internet has been buzzing this week with the news that Oracle has ceased to provide free time zone updates outside of the standard JDK release cycle. However, at the end of yesterday the firm appeared to have a change of heart. 'We never intended for a support contract to be required to keep JDK 7 up to date. TZUpdater was made unavailable on March 8 as part of the End of Public Updates for JDK 6, and as soon as we learned that this affected JDK 7 users we initiated the process of making it available for JDK 7 again.'"

Unverified Voracity Is Holding Out For Shoulder Pad Lasers
Probably not this throwback
Three days later we can say this is probably not an April Fools joke. If you're like me you thought the announcement Michigan and Notre Dame would wear throwback uniforms for their upcoming night game (with lasers!) was a cleverly plausible April Fools joke. It is not so:
"We're going to have throwback uniforms. As they will," Kelly told the Tribune. "I can tell you what theirs look like -- They have a block 'M' on them, and a number, and a number on their helmet. How's that? The adidas [Ed:* (this means footnote)] people at Michigan are going to be (ticked) at me."
Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon told The Detroit News on Friday that while Michigan is working on a special uniform project for the night game with Adidas and is excited about it, nothing has yet been determined.
If I was the AD I'd tell people Michigan was going to come out in throwbacks, then make a derisive wanking motion in their direction when Michigan hit the field in the same classic uniforms they've been wearing since time began. This is one of infinite reasons why I'm not the AD.
The immediate worry is that Michigan's "throwbacks" will be throwbacks in the Ohio State sense—"this stupid-looking stormtrooper outfit has nothing at all to do with whatever we claim it does"—instead of the Lions sense—"they should wear these all the time." If we were still with Nike this would not even be a question. Our throwbacks would come with futuristic lizard scales—mascot appropriate!—and they'd make the wings on the helmet wings of flame because that's rad. Adidas might actually produce a throwback that looks reasonably like what players wore in the long long ago.
As you might expect, MVictors has a list of changes since Bo's arrival. If there's a number on the helmet we're going back to at least 1968—and who wouldn't want to commemorate 1968? BONUS: Doctor Saturday pointed out on twitter that Michigan and Notre Dame were in one of their periodic snits during the 60s and never played.
*[Back in the day when I was editing everyone's Every Three Weekly stories I bought a few usage/copyediting books. My favorite was Lapsing Into A Comma, the one written by a longtime Washington Post grammar curmudgeon. One of the things that stuck is that you are not obligated to comply with the marketing department's wishes when you are trying to write understandable English sentences. Yahoo does not have an exclamation point because that's punctuation in the middle of a fricking sentence(!). E-Trade is not E*Trade because we are not multiplying trade by 2.71 etc etc etc. Adidas is Adidas, not adidas, because it is a proper noun. Do not let marketers define the acceptable limits of language because obviously.]
Do one thing well. Great article from Smart Football on WVU coach-in-waiting/energy-drink-fiend Dana Holgorsen's philosophy on installing your offense:
Dana Holgorsen, West Virginia's new offensive coordinator and head coach in waiting, has frequently said that his entire record breaking offense can be installed "in three days." And, now that his three days of spring practice are up, he said on day four his team will simply "start over," and will run through this install period three or four times during the spring. Wait, what? Hasn't Holgorsen been a part of record breaking offenses for more than a decade, including the last three (at Houston and then Oklahoma State) as head orchestrator? Doesn't saying you can install your entire top tier Division-I men's college football offense in three lousy days seem a little bit like, I don't know, bullshit?
Yeah, kind of, but Chris Brown (not that Chris Brown (or that other Chris Brown inexplicably wearing a Jalen jersey)) goes on to explain that if you were going to boil down Holgorsen's philosophy in one word it would be "specialization." No one plays, or even thinks of playing, multiple positions in his offense. Receivers are X or Y or Z from the day they show up until the day they leave.
This may go against "getting the ball to your playmakers," but Holgorsen argues the ball will find them anyway. Brown:
The idea is a simple one: with limited practice time and, to be honest, limited skills, kids need to focus on a few things and to get better at them — the jack of all trades is incredibly overrated. While Urban Meyer's Florida offense thrived for a time with Tebow and his omnipositional teammate, Percy Harvin, I'd argue that this reliance on a "Percy Position" — a guy that can play most every skill position on offense — eventually does more harm than good. I'm all for getting the ball to playmakers in different ways, but I am not — and neither is Holgorsen — a fan of doing it to the detriment of repetitions and becoming a master at your given position.
Michigan did this pretty well on offense, something best exemplified by Roy Roundtree becoming the second-leading receiver in the league as a slot receiver without a ton of wiggle. Michigan also avoided the widespread position-flopping on the offensive line that was characteristic of the late Carr era when someone went down injured.
They were beyond horrible at this on defense. A quick list of players who switched positions just last year: Cam Gordon, Thomas Gordon, Marvin Robinson, Craig Roh, Renaldo Sagesse, Adam Patterson, Ryan Van Bergen, JB Fitzgerald, Jordan Kovacs, and in one sense or another every damn player. Michigan moved from a fairly straight 4-3 under with an "okie" blitz package to a 3-3-5 to a 4-2-5 nickel back to a fairly straight 4-3 under to a 3-3-5 again, except they ran everything too and went from primarily 4-3/3-4 against MSU and Iowa to a straight 3-3-5 against PSU. It was a complete disaster that eventually undermined even what looked like an offense ready to put the throttle all the way down and probably justified Rodriguez's quick firing.
Random mental exercise: boil down other coaches' philosophy into single word.
- Lloyd Carr, Jim Tressel, Mark Dantonio: execute
- Rich Rodriguez: numbers
- Chip Kelly: pace
- Gus Mahlzahn: bewilder
- Bret Bielema: hampeople
- Danny Hope: whimper
- Pat Fitzgerald: MacGuyver
- Jerry Kill: kill (this should be Jerry Kill's philosophy in all things)
- Mike DeBord: waste
Restate position on trash talk. Good. Draymond Green:
And then to lose twice, it still bothers me. Because it's Michigan and I hate, just, it makes them feel like they're better than us. After them not winning at the Breslin for like 13 years, however long it was. And now they feel like this is their state. And this is Michigan State's state. We own this state, it's our state. And it gives them the hope and a crazy reason to think this is their state. And I completely disagree with that 100 percent.
- Beat Michigan State 61-57 at Breslin
- Beat Michigan State 70-63 at Crisler
- Finished with better overall record
- Finished with better KenPom ranking
- Advanced to second round of NCAA tournament
- Came up three points short of Sweet 16 bid
- Did not start elf who bakes cookies
- Is better than Michigan State's basketball team
These reasons probably do not qualify as crazy, especially when there are zero seniors departing. (Via UMHoops)
Rankings that may or may not mean anything. Scout is the first off the mark with a top 100—actually, a top 300. Blue In Cleveland compiled players of interest. I'll whittle his whittling down to guys Michigan seems to be in the top three for:
Stefon Diggs is listed as #2 at SAFETY!, 5*,- 16th overall
Zeke Pike #3 QB, 5*, 25th overall
Jordan Diamond #9 OT, 4*, 40th overall
Sheldon Day #9 DT, 4*, 64th overall
James Ross #2 MLB, 4*, 72nd overall
Royce Jenkins-Stone #7 OLB, 4*, 105th overall
Chris Wormley #13 DE, 4*, 112th overall
Danny O'Brien #14 DT, 4*, 131st overall
Ron Thompson #5 TE, 4*, 137th overall
Terry Richardson #8 CB, 4*, 139th overall
Kaleb Ringer #8 MLB, 4*, 206th overall
The two OL commits picked up three-star rankings, which whatever. They're OL. Even final rankings for them are wobbly; these are hardly extant. Matt Godin landed just outside the top 300, FWIW.
As I said when Hoke was hired, he's got a combination of a great in-state class, several out-of-state guys who were Michigan leans from birth (Diamond, Wormley, Day), and a strong Ohio class in a year where OSU is light on scholarships. That was before all this Tressel whatnot went down. Hop out to a good start and hold on to it and he could bring in a much-needed shot in the arm.
It just keeps going until the day it stops. More Ohio State WTF:
Ohio State officials were aware Jim Tressel had forwarded sensitive emails to quarterback Terrelle Pryor's mentor in Jeanette, Pa. during an initial March 8 press conference ….
During that original press conference, Tressel was asked by Yahoo! Sports' Dan Wetzel specifically if the coach had forwarded the emails to anyone else. Tressel seemed to answer yes but he was interrupted by AD Gene Smith who said that information was part of the investigation. It is not clear how far back that Ohio State officials knew about the additional concealment of the Sarniak information.
Smug popcorn consumption image macro goes here.
Etc.: Also in that UMHoops post: Glenn Robinson III picks up a couple positive reviews in early AAU action and Michigan is still getting mentioned for 6'6" German PG(!) Patrick Heckmann. Now we get to speculate about Max Bielfeldt's loaded family paying his way instead of Illinois fans. More realistically, he would be an option if Darius Morris enters the draft. MGoBlue practice videos up the music drama. Zoltan's working at a private equity firm during this whole lockout business. Hockey commits Tyler Motte and Evan Allen score all three goals in a Honeybaked win over Shattuck for a U16 national tourney title. Charlie Sheen's Detroit appearance… not so good.
I laughed watching the HLN piece on the booing and watching the people going out of the theater. They looked sooooo indignant. Sheen got the last laugh for a bunch of reasons:
1. As Sheen said, he got their money.
2. They wasted their money to watch a train wreck, then got mad that they were watching a train wreck.
3. Sheen got standing ovations in Chicago the next night.
Either way, they lose. Either they were a crass crowd for booing, or they were ignorant for wasting their money, or they were even more ignorant for being mad at getting exactly what they should have expected.
What a bunch of bleeping losers.
without faceguard bars be so MANBALL! ?
Personally, I'd love to see us go all Tom Harmon-esque with the slightly smaller but sown on numbers and full sleeve jerseys.
I didn't mind the old side stripes, those could be kind of neat to see again.
the regression to the archetypical mean is complete.
How is that a softening? Brian has been saying that the defensive failings undermined the offensive progress since at least the Penn St. game:
The actual progress: Michigan has the #1 yardage offense in the Big Ten by a huge margin. The gap between Michigan and #2 Ohio State is considerably bigger than the gap between Ohio State and #7 Iowa. The prophesied Rodriguez Leap, which did happen last year, happened again this year. Rodriguez is what he was sold as.
That progress looked like enough to get Rodriguez through 2010 into a prove-it 2011 until some walk-on shredded Michigan for 28 first-half points. If Progress means not being Minnesota, Michigan is failing.
If we beat MSU, Brian will be almost there. If we beat OSU and win the conference title, Brian will profess ardent man-love for Man-ball.
I think when we beat MSU and OSU this year and Denard is in the gun 90% of the time peoples heads will explode. Is this MANBALL or not?
I noticed in the video that we were indoors. Aren't we supposed to building toughness? It was 50 outside on Sat get your ass out there.
Do not let marketers define the acceptable limits of language because obviously
The B1G agrees with this.
Makes me feel like I'm reading one of those "What's different in this picture" books...
only 2 puffs of air
the mole wears no glasses
a cloud is missing
grass clump
extra spot on mushroom
extra tree
most work i have done all day
The Rabbit's ear bends the opposite way.
- the small cloud, top left of the mushroom, has changed shape.
- the tree line on the left hillside is shorter than before.
- the horse's feet are missing under the fence
Missed another one: Additional bird to the left of the rabbit.
Also, there's something between the two smaller mushrooms that's not in between the two in the first pic. No idea what it is though.
And, three birds, in the distance, instead of two (to the left of the rabbit).
[Edit: Rats, too slow ^^^]
my +1 meant "yes, Nike would totally destroy one of the classic uniforms in all of college sports and then have the same look on their corporate face as someone who just puked all over himself and is trying to pretend it's a new fashion", not "yeah, that would actually look good."
To Nike, every school is a World Football League uniform waiting to happen.
The first night game in M Stadium history, against ND, with both teams fielding good and exciting teams? You don't need to add sugar (or salt) to a chocolate fudge sundae.
not sugar/salt. Not something required to make it great, but that little extra that tops it all off.
+1 for the compound noun "hampeople." Or is it a verb? "Wisconsin really hampeoples you on that o-line."
But maybe hamandcheesepeople would also be appealing. On rye.....
I think with Fitzgerald's offensive philosophy being MacGuyver, we can also call Rodriguez's defensive one MacGruber. Maybe the right pieces are there, maybe not, but it doesn't really matter because he's going to dick around with it enough that it explodes regardless.
I think in college football with so little time to practice and with such turnover that simple but unique is the way to go. If you are unique people have a hard time practicing against it and if it's simple your kids can master it. Think Georgia Tech.
If you have the top talent it doesn't matter as much, but overall simple is more consistent. Fans of Penn St and Iowa probably bitch up a storm every time they get diced up by a good qb sitting in those zones, but over the long haul it is probably best in college to play 1 or 2 things really well and live with the few weknesses than try to dial up up a new play.
The great irony will be that you would think RR would thrive to have this kind of defense that wasn't high risk, but wouldn't get chewed up so his offense could work.
With you 100%, brother. What a schmuck.
Why is ND's coach talking about what Michigan will be wearing?
Because he's an asshole.
I hope the throwbacks bring back the white socks from the Bo era, I like those better than the blue. I'm also okay with a gray facemask with numbers on the sides of the helmet. But keep them as close to resembling actual throwbacks as possible with allowances for technological changes in equipment.
I give you, popcorn gif.
over the whole goddamn asinine throwback crap. Our unis and helmets already are essentially throwbacks. The fact that other programs—such as Sparty—have changed their makeup and hair color and lingerie every fifteen minutes over the last 50 years doesn't mean that we need to stoop to the throwback crap.
If other teams weren't using these, I kinda like the looks of the all whites that Cam Gordon wears at practice. Very Classy IMO.
He's approaching MANBALL levels - must be working hard
I am not absolutely harrumph on your comment
a knee length wool coat and fedora for this nite game, a la Fielding Yost, I will be sorely disappointed
Somebody needs to photoshop that, stat!
Of course, for three straight football seasons, MSU has beaten U-M head-to-head and in the standings, and Spartans still hear, "Okay, but that doesn't mean you're like, better than us now" from Wolverines. One season of the basketball shoe being on the other foot doesn't mean regime change.
Who are these unseen Michigan fans to whom you attribute these quotes? Do they actually know anything about Michigan history and Michigan's dominating historical record over MSU? Perhaps more importantly, do they actually exist? If I were a Michigan fan in this day and age, I would never be caught saying something as obsequious and message-board-foddery as "Yeah but that doesn't mean that you're better than us now."
Way to go Zoltan for having an actual career idea for his life post-football. It's nice that he's using the lockout to actually do something productive and not just making trouble.
Denard's ball skills looking pretty good coming from under center. Like the music.
Based on the information given, here are the throwbacks we'll see at the game:

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Tech men's basketball team announced its first signing for the class of 2013 Wednesday afternoon, retaining a commitment from Action Sports Academy star Shaqueille Calhoun.
Calhoun, a 6-foot-3, 180-pound guard previously from Model High School in Rome, Ga., earned wide recognition for his ability to score from three-point range — he was named to ESPN.com's list of the top 25 three-point shooters nationally in the recruiting class of 2012.
According to the ESPN report, Calhoun is a high-volume shooter who plays with confidence, giving Tennessee Tech a "dynamic scorer who can knock it down from deep or pull up off the dribble."
"He brings an ability to shoot the basketball that we don't have and we haven't had in awhile," said TTU head coach Steve Payne. "He can really score. He's strong and a gifted athlete. He's a guy we feel as a freshman can step in and provide some solid minutes right away."
"He's been a Golden Eagle since he got to his prep school," added Payne. "He's doing a good job in his academics there and he's playing great. We're really looking forward to getting Shaqueille in a Golden Eagles uniform."
Calhoun averaged a double-double as a junior in 2010-11, scoring 25.7 points per game and pulling down 11.3 rebounds per contest while also dishing out 3.9 assists. He scored over 1,500 points at Model and grabbed 601 rebounds while leading his former high school to state tournament appearances in 2009 and 2011.
He was named the Rome News Tribune Player of the Year after his junior season and is a three-time Region 7AA all-star as well as a three-time Northwest Georgia Tip-Off Club all-star. Calhoun played in the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) Junior All-Star Game and was named to the Rome News Tribune All-Area Team in both 2009 and 2010.
"I think he'll be a great addition to the Tech family," said Action Sports Academy head coach Cam Dailey. "He loves the relationship he's been able to build with Coach Payne and the coaching staff at Tech. He really enjoyed the family atmosphere that the Golden Eagles offer and I feel that it will suit him well."
"He's a great kid," included Dailey. "He's a well-rounded young man and one heck of a basketball player. I think he'll fit right in at Tech and be a great player for his four years there."
Calhoun said he chose Tech because it feels like home and he believes he will fit well in the Golden Eagles' system.
"I'm really looking forward to joining the Golden Eagles," said Calhoun. "I feel like I can bring a winning attitude to the team and help contribute all-around. I know that the team is playing well right now and I'm looking forward to being a part of their future success. I'm really looking forward to playing for Coach Payne and the rest of the coaching staff. Everyone on the team seems really cool and I can't wait to get to Tennessee Tech and play alongside my future teammates."
The son of Brian and Tamika Griffin, Calhoun plans to major in business management at Tech.
