Situational Hitting is Stupid
Self esteme is built by having the kids practice and learn how to hit this kids 40mph heater. Imagine how good the kids will feal when they knock the king off the hill.
Self esteme is NOT built by removing every single obsticale to the childs success and creating an artifical environment.
I'm tired of parents worrying about self-esteme. It's a byproduct, not an end goal.

Having kids myself, I don't think self-esteem has anything to do with it. I sign my kids up to have fun and get some exercise. If they aren't having fun, I'm not wasting my money. I wonder if the league has had people stop bringing their kids or signing up for other leagues because they weren't having fun playing against this kid.
I don't think any kid finds it fun to go up against a kid who is throwing hard enough to strike everybody out, and at some point, I think its got to be no fun for the kid to not be challenged. Whether its sports or academics, I think talented kids should be encouraged to work with kids of similar skill level.

Awesome lesson to teach the kids.... if someone is better than you at something, quit. Better yet, complain enough to get them kicked out so it makes you look better! Thats the ticket!
I just can't believe this is a true story. If I hadn't already heard this story, if someone told me that this happened in the States, I wouldn't believe it. Maybe there's a big, important part of the story being left out.
My guess is no, there are other pitchers in this league. So an individual batter is facing this monster how many times a season? Meanwhile they are facing the normal kids how many times a season? So the kids face a tough pitcher once out of 7 other teams and normal kids the rest of the time. Big fricken deal. Serriously. This is one pitcher. To me, this is an excellent teaching moment that is being completely missed.
Sorry but if these kids "aren't having fun" over an entire baseball season becuase they get dominated from time to time then the parents have failed. Miserably. Horrifically. This league is allegidly a "developmental" league. Well, sports is supposed to be about body and mind and this is a perfect opportunity to help develop the kids mind.
Unless this is the only pitcher these kids ever face, then the "real" issue is some parents can't stand to watch their kids fail. They'd rather create an artifical environment so little Treveor can be a superstar than teaching a kid to either overcome or deal with defeat.

I am sure everyone who played little league played with or against a pitcher that was borderline unhittable for most players in the league. We never walked off the field because we could not hit the Harmon brothers we just took our lumps and tried to improve.
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.
As far as parents' choices for their kids, that's their prerogative as parents. If they want their kids in a league that doesn't keep score and gives out juice boxes and animal crackers after every game and everyone gets a participation trophy, that's fine. But by the same token, if parents want their kid in a league where the kids face tough challenges from other kids so that they have to strive hard to win, that's fine too.
It's the same thing with school and academics. Some parents want to hold their kids back a grade. Others put their kids in special advanced programs to give them more challenges. Do you have a problem with that? Would you rather all the kids of the same age were put in the same class so that the kids who couldn't keep up with the smart kids had to take their "F"s and deal with it, even if it was only for one class, like Math or Reading? Would that be okay if they still had other classes where they were with kids that weren't that smart?

Articles from the New Haven Register with more detail.... As with most stories, the truth lies somewhere between everyone's stories and also with things that aren't being said.
I'm all for different level leagues for different reasons for playing. Participation is always key.
I've seen rec leagues where some talented kid comes in and smokes the opposition and its no fun. I've seen travel/select teams where parents have forced their lesser-talented kid onto the team and the kid gets repeatedly smoked and that's no fun either. In either of these cases, I don't think many lessons get learned besides what its like to get your brains beat in.
But what I wish for above all is for adults to be adults and resolve these things in an adult way. Once it get in the press and into the courts, it all get silly.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
It's a cruel, tough, and generally unforgiving world out there. You're constantly being judged -- by potential employers, bosses, members of the opposite sex, clients, etc. You are rarely the best at anything you do, you're frequently placed into competition with people who are as smart/qualified or moreseo than you are, and any "allowances" or "considerations" made are generally made not on merit but on cronyism or nepotism. Life just isn't a fair place.
So, is it good for a kid to take "F" grades and keep dealing with it? No, probably not. But, is it OK to keep adjusting things so that the child keeps getting "A" and "B" grades against artificially inferior competition? Maybe not. Parents know their own children best and often know how best to get the most out of their children -- but sometimes (especially lately) it seems that the world has become so obssessed with letting children succeed that it has forgotten to teach them how to fail.

26 Years and Counting...
The more I read about this, the more it sounds like the dispute is as much between team sponsors as it is about the kid. Those articles Roy linked to mention the team sponsor, Will Power, almost as much as the kid. The league has even offered to help the kid get on a select team or a travel team to play with kids at his skill level. I almost want to say that the other team in the league that was mentioned was last year's champ and the Will Power team went out and found themselves a ringer. The parents probably have some relationship with the sponsor that encouraged them to put the kid on that team. Other teams, especially last year's champ, knowing the kid is a ringer, complained and threatened to quit the league, so the league tried to step in and force a solution that ended up making a hash of things. This kid of stuff has been going on in youth baseball since I played and probably longer. It's just that we didn't have the internet to make a national case out of it.

I don't have any problem with a parent that decides they want to hold their child back or have their child pushed into advanced classes. But that's totally different than a parent deciding the other kid should be moved because it isn't fair to their child.
I want to hold my kid back, no prob. I want your kid kicked out of class because he always gets A's and destroys the curve? Assinine.

Beautiful shoes. Questionable durability.
"These sandals are gorgeous!!! I usually wear a 9&1/2 which is what I purchased (in Silver) they run slightly small and very narrow. I am nervous about the gemstones in the cirular design on the front. I dont know how durable the embellishment is. I hope the stones do not fall out because I absolutly love the look of it."

I looked high and low for them and then found these! They're almost the same but with a triple strap I like better. They're so stylish and eye-catching! I get compliments wherever I go in them!"

|Office of Community
Oriented Policing Services
U.S. Department of Justice
Law enforcement agencies can take the opportunity to promote its community policing efforts and forge community partnerships this holiday season. The COPS Office provides free resources that focus on the crimes typically seen during the holiday season and give insight and problem- solving techniques that law enforcement, communities, shoppers, and retail businesses can take to help prevent becoming a victim of crime.
Each publication can be downloaded here, or requested from the COPS Office Response Center by email or telephone at 1.800.421.6770.
Burglary of Retail Establishments
This problem-oriented guide for police reviews what is known about retail burglaries, suggests ways to analyze them in local jurisdictions, and provides guidance on appropriate responses. It addresses establishments including shops in downtown areas, strip malls, covered malls (or "shopping precincts," as they are known in the United Kingdom), and retail parks. It also addresses stand-alone superstores, neighborhood stores, and rural stores, as well as restaurants, beauty parlors, and off-track betting establishments.
Guidance For Building Communities of Trust (BCOT)
Guidance for Building Communities of Trust(BCOT) focuses on developing relationships of trust between law enforcement, fusion centers, and the communities they serve, particularly immigrant and minority communities, so that the challenges of crime control and prevention of terrorism can be addressed. Lessons learned have been documented from a series of roundtable discussions held across the country in the past year between state and major urban area fusion centers, local law enforcement, and community advocates. The resulting Guidance provides advice and recommendations on how to initiate and sustain trusting relationships that support meaningful sharing of information, responsiveness to community concerns and priorities, and the reporting of suspicious activities. The importance for communities and law enforcement to build and maintain trusting relationships to prevent acts of crime and terrorism, is the overarching theme of this document.
Identity theft is a relatively new crime, facilitated through established, underlying crimes such as forgery, counterfeiting, check and credit card fraud, computer fraud, impersonation, pick pocketing, and even terrorism. This guide describes the problem of identity theft and reviews factors that increase the risks of it. It is intended to help law enforcement analyze and develop effective responses to their local problem.
This problem-oriented guide for police discusses measures to reduce shoplifting. It focuses mainly on the typical shoplifting method of concealing items in clothing or bags, and distinguishes between casual, opportunistic shoplifting, and shoplifting by more experienced professionals. The guide reviews factors that may increase the risks of shoplifting. Finally, it reviews responses to the problem and what is known about them from evaluative research and police practice.
The guide begins by describing the problem of stolen goods trading, then provides advice on how best to analyze local, national or international stolen goods markets, reviews tactics that you can deploy to detect those involved in stealing, dealing and consuming stolen goods, and suggesting ways to assess their likely effectiveness in specific situations and locations. The ultimate aim of tackling stolen goods markets is to make it more difficult and risky for people to trade in stolen goods and thereby discourage some stealing in the first instance.
Street Robbery provides an overview of the problem of stranger perpetrated street robbery and the factors contributing to its occurrence. This guide also provides a series of questions to consider when analyzing your street robbery problem and reviews responses to the problem and what is known about them from evaluative research and police practice.
Theft of Customers' Personal Property in Cafes and Bars
As part of the Problem-Oriented Guides for Police, Problem-Specific Guides Series, the purpose of the Theft of Customers' Personal Property in Cafés and Bars guide is to describe the problem of theft of customers' personal property from cafés and bars, review associated risk factors, identify a series of questions to help analysis of the local problem, and review responses to this type of problem.
Thefts of and from Cars in Parking Facilities
This guide summarizes information on risk factors and evaluates published literature on dealing with such thefts in parking facilities. It also identifies information police should collect to understand and respond effectively to their local problem. The guide covers both thefts of and thefts from cars in parking facilities. Each category of theft covers a wide range of offenses committed by different groups of offenders with different motivations. This guide will help law enforcement analyze and develop responses to their local problem.

((20swrongs)) Your compassion is overwhelming. Thank you. I am going on this trip. I have no illusions about my mother or my sibs.
The nightmares have been replaced by insomnia. I think that's perhaps an improvement.
After confrontation many years ago, my parents and sibs joined my XH in a custody suit agaist me. Both parents and all sibs testified against me to try to take my kids away. I stood strong and prevailed. Walked away for good, or so I thought. But I got dragged back. My mother admitted that their testifying against me was retaliatory. I demanded an apology. Her answer to me is burned into my memory. She said "Edith, you had better hope your DD and DS don't ever DO THIS TO YOU." Again after that I went years of NC. It has been an ongoing battle.
But I am going on this trip in an effort to do what I feel is right. This woman gave birth to me. I have looked at all the wrongs she has done in her life and thank God I am not like her. I know that so many times she had choices to make and she made the wrong ones. I don't want to ever look back on my life and feel regret for having made a wrong choice on something irreversible. I don't know if this makes sense to anyone.
I will update when I return. And thank you for the kindness, it means so much to me. I pray that we all find peace.

I'm not doing very well. The truth that what my exwh did to me was rape, during our marriage, was pointed out to me earlier this year. I struggle with PTSD from it. I thought I had gotten over that from his cheating. I can't tell my family about his abuse because they still have to interact with him and I'm trying to protect them.
I don't know what I should be doing first.... Healing from the infidelity or the rape. Some of the issues regarding the A has caused me a lot of shame for taking his abuse. I'm going to a support group that consists mostly of CSA and I think I never had it that bad. If I don't face the issue.... The rape on a daily basis I slowly revert back to denial.
I don't know of any groups that deal with infidelity AND abuse. The issues are so intertwined that I can't seem to separate the two. My rape counselor hasn't made me talk about the rapes so I haven't. I'm stuck.
I dread sleeping because that is when I deal with everything I have pushed aside during the day. I'm so exhausted
Edith posted 11/20/2013 14:37 PM
(((Courageous))) I know your pain. I also am a rape survivor. PTSD is an ongoing struggle, and I truly wish I had the answers.
I went on the trip to see my mother. She has utterly lost her mind, called me by my siblings' names. I went to the store and bought the things she needed, I fed her and took care of things for her while I was there. I met with my aunt and cousin who blame me for being distant from the rest of my FOO. They do not know the truth, nor do I need to tell them. They continue to think my parents were pillars of virtue and I am an unappreciative daughter.
So I am back to waking up screaming from nightmares. Back to feeling so hopeless about my H and his lies. Back to feeling worthless and discarded. I pray for help for us all.
Edith posted 1/3/2014 11:51 AM
The continuing saga of my life....my mother was again hospitalized after yet another fall. Her health is failing and her mind is pretty much gone. She has been telling me that she thought my new granddaughter is "not a real baby" because she was conceived via IVF... I am trying my best to not let the things she says hurt me, not always having success with that one.
I think the biggest thing I struggle with right now is my own ambivalence toward her. Like how can I care so little about my own mother?? The fact that she forced me to go to bed with my drunk father for years starting at age 6 is something about which I have rightful anger. Rage even. But I think it is my codependency that sucks me back into the compassion mode (or lack of, in this case), causing my feelings of guilt.
So my plan is to remain supportive but distant. I call her once every 1-2 weeks, see how she is doing. She is now having problems putting together a sentence, so the calls are mercifully brief. And I will continue to make myself as bulletproof as possible with my sibs, who are just as vicious as ever.
I pray for all of us on this thread to find healing.
Healinggirl posted 1/21/2014 02:42 AM
I'm posting here because I've realized that this is where I really belong.
My fWH was abused, saw his abuser decades later which triggered flashbacks and he began recreating the abuse again but with prostitutes, which apparently is an unconscious way of trying to enable a different outcome in order to get closure of something impossible to process as a child. It's more complicated obviously, but that's the basics. Even the last woman he took advantage of because she offered herself. She was cheaper than a prostitute. Looking back she'd been circling him for years, I trustingly thought she was a nutter and dismissed it. She was the one who wanted an EA and that was what made him behave so oddly and how I suspected there was something going on. There was no EA with her, she couldn't speak English very well anyway, so that makes sense. I actually knew her. And he dropped her on DD like a hot brick and came running back to me when I offered R. Since then he says he never even wondered how she is and has certainly never wanted to contact her since.
I know this sounds like denial on my part, and I'm aware of that, but I've questioned him for 14 months and it's been exactly the same story, perhaps each time with a few more details, but basically the same. Not even enough new info to be TT. I think this really is the truth of the matter.
I honestly believed he went through some sort of breakdown after he saw the abuser, he certainly had PTSD. He has had treatment for the abuse since DD and is a completely changed man. He has cried daily for the last year. I admire his courage for being able to face things as he has and has taken it upon himself to heal me at the same time. Not an easy task.
I've been reading the other forums, and occasionally posting, but I feel like I don't quite fit in there somehow. So many of the posts don't apply to our situation.
I think I understand the why now. We've become very close and because of the sheer volume of treatment and healing, the openness and communication, I don't believe there's much likelihood of a repeat of his acting out again.
I'm still hurting, still processing, still healing and that is ongoing, as is his healing, too, but I'm becoming cautiously optimistic that it's going to be ok.
Having said that I'd welcome any differing views in case I'm way off here.
Edith posted 1/31/2014 14:50 PM
Hi Healing Girl, and welcome! Of course you know that everyone's situation is different. My IC used to tell me that what we experience in childhood we are destined to repeat, either as an abuser or a victim. I think child abuse is a very difficult pattern to break, and your fWH seems to have made terrible choices perhaps stemming from his own pain.
I certainly hope the two of you find healing and peace. Sending you hugs.

Something on my mind today
Was anyone ever punished for trying to fight back? Or else told that what you did - whether it was speaking up or physically striking someone to make them stop - made you in the wrong?
I'm feeling very frustrated today. Some memories are coming up (triggered by a damn comic of all things), and it's so upsetting. I know that my actions are my own to own So I'm wondering what's an "appropriate" way of saying no to someone - especially someone who won't take no for an answer? I shouldn't have tattled on the guy who forced his tongue down my throat (even while I was shoving him off of me) Because it threatened his recovery (he was a former heroin addict), and I must have "wanted it" if I didn't stop it sooner (yeah right - I'd said no from before it even happened), and I shouldn't have slapped the guy who wouldn't stop harassing me because violence is never the answer. So I should have accepted that I "asked for it" somehow in order to keep the peace?
Can anyone else relate?
20WrongsVs1 posted 2/3/2014 09:01 AM
((Edith)) Your stories about your FOO enrage me. Supportive but distant? Wow, your strength amazes me, that you can even be civil with your mother.
Silverhopes, the memories are so upsetting. Hell, my brain locked them away in a box till it decided, as an adult, I could deal with them. Granted, I rugswept them for 20 more years, but I believe *remembering* at age 18 helped me because I was able to be (relatively) normally-functioning sexually even though I had an aversion to male genitalia. Remembering helped, because I knew the aversion wasn't irrational.
Punished for trying to fight back? Not specifically. But I do remember when I started expressing reservations to the abuser, he was like, "Well, maybe your brother wants to play." So I relented. I was probably 6, which would make my brother 8. Close to my childrens' ages now. (Timing of my daughter's age with my infidelity...not coincidental according to IC.) So, pushished? No, but subtly threatened, and I caved.
So should I have accepted that I "asked for it" somehow in order to keep the peace?
You can accept that you made a choice that was safest for you at the time. Yeah, easier said than done. I can totally relate though, OMG can I. Like what I said about my brother, above. Around age 7 or so, I did say "No" for the last time and the abuser never approached me again. But I didn't go to my parents. And I haven't been strong enough, yet, to connect with the guilt and shame I've buried, about not telling. (Granted it was partially unconscious, because I *literally forgot* the abuse from that moment, till age 18.) And the consequences of keeping the secret, not only to my brother, or possibly my little sister, but to the children that surely followed over the years...that's a crushing load.
I told my mother when I was about 39 years old. She glazed over, went into shock I guess, and didn't respond, and never brought it up again. My therapist says, I knew my parents well enough by age 7, to know how they'd react. Had my mother "glazed over" or rugswept when I was 7...I can't imagine the effect that would've had on little me. And Dad has a temper (never physically violent toward us) so my therapist opines that I could've been worried that Dad would beat up or kill the guy, and face legal consequences.
So not telling may have been safest for me at the time.
My therapist recommends that I go back in time and comfort Little 20, assure her she is loved and help her feel safe. I have, a little, but I'm still too afraid to face the memories and all that entails.
Edith posted 2/4/2014 16:32 PM
@ Silverhopes: I am so sorry you are triggering. My mantra is that it is over, it is in the past, and I will never be that helpless again.
Was anyone ever punished for trying to fight back?
Yes. As an adult, I confronted my parents shortly after my divorce from my 1st husband. Their response, instead of apologies, was to testify on behalf of my ex in a custody trial. All my siblings and both parents testified against me. It nearly killed me. But the judge saw through it, thank God, and I moved away from them.
@20: Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so sorry you went through that. From my IC, I have been told that it is quite common for the CSA abused to confront the issue in their 30s. My parents actually acknowledged that I was forced to go to bed with my father, but they insisted it was to "cuddle." They never would acknowledge what it actually was or even that it was wrong. Sending you and "little 20" big hugs. If you need to talk, I am here.
Take care,
nekorb posted 2/9/2014 16:20 PM
So I haven't read this whole thread...too many triggers reading others' stories....
My WH experienced CSA at the hands of women, multiple perpetrators.
My IC and I have just kind of accepted that CSA exists in my past as well. I don't have actual memories of it, but if it happened, I can tell you exactly when/where/who. I have a still shot of that day/place in my mind. The other time/perpetrator I've only recently come to realize.
I don't know why I never realized it or questioned it before. I've always had a vision/memory/movie in my mind of genital mutilation in the garden at my god-parents house. It's been with me as long as I can remember. Literally forever. I've come to the conclusion that it pretty much points to CSA there as well. Told my IC I don't need to know the details of it, just the knowledge that it is there is good enough for me to acknowledge that it is contributing to my issues with my body and sexuality.
So...that's me.
WH doesn't admit that his CSA had any lasting effects on him. He is in denial. He needs IC desperately but won't go.
It's sad. He's going to throw away our life because he doesn't want to deal with his past.
20WrongsVs1 posted 2/9/2014 21:33 PM
nekorb, have you or WH read The Sexual Healing Journey by Wendy Maltz? That really helped me realize how badly I needed IC. Also, I did an anonymous chat session with a counselor at RAINN. If WH is too embarrassed to see a live counselor, maybe he'd consider that route?
I am so full of rage and hatred toward pedophiles. The devastation they cause, not only to their innocent victims but our spouses, etc., is just infuriating.
So sorry for your situation. It is sad. Looking at the past is so damn scary, but I got to the point, after DDay, that I realized failure to look at my past, would doom my future. Hopefully your WH will get there too, before it's too late.
Edith posted 2/11/2014 12:24 PM
Hi nekorb,
WH doesn't admit that his CSA had any lasting effects on him. He is in denial.
I agree he is in denial. At every trauma throughout my lifetime, the CSA comes back to the forefront. Even after a great deal of IC, it is still right there. Self esteem is shot. Confidence gone. Thinking of violent ways to end my life. And of course, after the A, these things came back worse than they ever have at any point in my adult life.
There is no shame in being a survivor of CSA, though I understand the thought that it may result in judgement (perhaps more strongly in men?), but if this had any role in his A (as I suspect it likely did), then he owes it not only to himself but to YOU to address this. It takes time and effort, but staying married to nekorb is worth it!
Hugs to you, dear.

I wanted to start my own post with this but couldn't figure out how so I am putting it here as it is the closest I could find as a match for my topic.
I am reaching out to anyone who has personal experience with D.I.D. and infidelity.
At the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010 I had a sexual affair. On mothers day 2011 I told my husband. Jan 2012 I learned I have D.I.D. This was after months of severe craziness for my poor husband who had a wife who said she couldnt remember anything, then who did remember things and gave details, then said those details are not right, and provided new details, and then often said I remember remembering that, but I dont remember it now. Only someone who has dealt with someone with D.I.D. would ever understand that statement.
I will first say that although I have only gained the broadest of memories and knowledges of what occurred, I am fully responsible. D.I.D. is not a get out of jail free card and I do not advocate its use for pleading insanity. Just as I only have the broadest of memories and knowledges of the childhood abuse that brought about my fragmentation, I was equally abused as those who experienced it first hand; as well, I am equally guilty of infidelity as the one who experienced that first hand. Although fragmented, I am still an entity as a whole and when one part does something, the whole entity is responsible.
To this day, the best my husband has are motivations (both surface and the deeper physiological ones), the dates of when and where and some details mixed with confusions of what exactly occurred. See, the part of me who would know firsthand what occurred also suffers from flashbacks and melds the flashbacks to the real events to create a distorted accounting. She remembers abuse where there may have been none. This has left my husband still with many unanswered questions. How does one ever try to heal like that?
Although there are those who may strongly disagree, I sincerely believe that the emotional and psychological effects of the abuse of infidelity can be equal to that of childhood sexual abuse. The betrayal of one who should protect you above all others. The love you feel and the dissonance it causes within to feel that love. The utter loss in trust not only in one person but in the world and in yourself. The guilt, shame and self blame. The PTSD that may never go away. The anxiety attacks. I could draw the parallels in a hundred different examples. I also think that one never fully heals from childhood abuse as there are always lingering effects, I also believe that infidelity leaves lifelong effects. So a couple who had to deal with both have a tough row to hoe when it comes to healing.
So with all that said, are there any out there who have had to deal with both, infidelity and D.I.D? Although I am not looking for someone to help me in my process of healing both myself and my marriage, I am looking for others who have experience with this and the things they may have learned along the way that helped them. I think more than anything, I would like to know that we are not alone in this. AND I would love to know that there are those who have survived both and are thriving together as a couple.
(To those who don't know, D.I.D. is dissociative identity disorder which is most commonly brought about by severe childhood trauma such as incest, sexual abuse, etc.)

justwe, welcome to SI. This thread tends to be very slow-moving.
You were, I assume, professionally diagnosed with DID. Was it, in some small way, a relief? Dissociating is common among CSA survivors, as you said, but (from what I've read) DID is incredibly rare. I've been dissociating, as a coping mechanism, my whole life. My affairs were the worst manifestation, but I do remember everything. Fortunately.
What treatment are you receiving? None of my business, but I am curious.
So, even though there may not be many here with a DID diagnosis, I do encourage you to share your story and participate in the Wayward Side forum. Nobody there, or on SI in general, would dispute that the betrayal of infidelity is traumatic. Many members here report being diagnosed with PTSD due to their spouse's betrayal. I'll nit-pick you just a little on this...
I sincerely believe that the emotional and psychological effects of the abuse of infidelity can be equal to that of childhood sexual abuse
There is no "equal," and this isn't the pain Olympics. It suffices to say that both can have traumatic effects.
Although I am not looking for someone to help me in my process of healing both myself and my marriage
What does this mean? SI is all about people helping one another. Commisseration is part of that, but so is support. You're not looking for help, because...? You're getting plenty of professional help? Or, you have this handled on your own? Not criticizing, just honestly curious.

Hi Justwe,
I was diagnosed with a dissociative disorder at the age of 12 as the result of CSA for years, starting at age 6. Unfortunately, at that time, there was virtually no treatment and the mental health community basically swept it under the rug.
From what I understand about DID, it is so rare as to be nearly nonexistent. I would certainly question that diagnosis.
When I experienced dissociative episodes, I have never recovered the memory of my actions during those times. I have memories of coming back to myself after them, an extraordinarily frightening experience. For example, in middle school, I remember finding myself in a strange classroom, with a boy telling me I was sitting in his seat...I got up and left the room, not knowing how I had gotten there. Also, many of my dissociative episodes were accompanied by screaming.
Is CSA "worse" than the pain of inidelity? I can only say that they are different, and that infidelity brought back a great deal of the pain from CSA. And as 20 said, it is kind of irrelevant what is worse....I hope you find treatment to help you cope. I have tried hypnosis and lots of IC but in the end, the pain of my past and my husband's A is my burden to carry. I also agree with 20 that the Wayward Side is certainly worth exploration.
I hope you find healing and peace.

20 and Edith - thank you both so much. It is so scary when the people who are supposed to protect us are the ones who sell us out.
Right now, I need to be the protector for someone. My H has begun talking about his history of sexual abuse. Last week we met some of his family for the first time (he wound up going into the foster care system and lost touch with them), and suddenly all these memories are coming out for him. Or he's always had them but he's finally been thinking about them instead of stifling them. When we first met, there was an ex he always compared me to, talking about how wonderful she was, about how he would go back to her someday. It led to a lot of fights, I am ashamed to say. I am very ashamed to say.
Initially, I had not been jealous but rather concerned. But his insistence made me feel that I was assigning her an unfair label, but now we know it to be an accurate one: predator. She was a 40-something year old teacher's assistant he thought was hot. He was a 17 year old high school student. When he was 17 or 18 he moved in with her and her family. They smoked pot, he got hooked, and didn't complete high school. When he was 18 or 19 they began sleeping together. A few months later they moved and left him behind (he suspects that her husband found out). For the longest time he thought (and then I thought) that because he was of legal age, it wasn't sexual abuse (for the longest time, the "wrongness" was over the affair part and the unfavorable comparisons). But it WAS sexual abuse. I feel sick for not sticking to it and pointing that out to him until he got it. He's finally getting it. He's realizing how much she preyed on him. She was supposed to be his guardian, not only because he didn't have his parents but also because of his mental illness. And she had a sexual relationship with him (and then left him homeless) and abused her position with him. Apparently he wasn't even the first one; there were other students (and other married men, but we're talking about the abuse right now).
He's also coming to terms about what this other guy did with him. A very old man, and at this point my H was homeless, and the old man offered him a place to stay. He thought they were friends and was offering to help him out with his job. The old man made a move on him. My H is finally facing these feelings, and I feel so terrible. As his wife, I feel like (I'm not even sure if this makes sense or not), by ever having sex with him I was reabusing him or retraumatizing him. I don't even know why: I am four years younger than my H and it was consensual. But because he hadn't faced these abuse issues yet Last night he accused me of trying to stick my finger in his anus, which I have never, and said he would break my f*%$ing finger if I tried again. Threatened me then locked our son and me out of our room for half the night. This morning realized what he had said, realized that I had NEVER tried to do that, and realized that he was projecting what had happened with the old man. But I'm wondering we used to have sex some nights very late, when we were both very tired. What if he now views it as non-consensual, even though he initiated half of those encounters and we had an agreement that waking each other up was OK? What if I've traumatized him? What if I've become unsafe?
I want to help him heal. I want so much to help him heal. But what does he need? It seems like sex should be off the table for now while he processes these painful memories. I don't even know if I should touch him, because he might feel violated, even though he says I'm not and that it's OK (but when we were first going out, he used to lose his temper at me and push me away physically for wanting to hug him, nevermind anything else, and I finally stopped initiating anything because I didn't want to disrespect his boundaries - what if those feelings come back and what if the original ones were unresolved feelings of violation? - there was another woman that he did like to hug, though, one of his EAs, god this is all so messy, I'm sorry for the repeated tangents). Feels like right now would be the time to tell and show him everything I love about him and believe in him as a person, non-sexual support and caring. Like doing lots of listening and validating. Or like asking to go on walks together, or making sure he's eating enough, or talking about the news or good movies or other safe options. How do I help him? Do you guys have any suggestions? I don't know how to ask him either - to top it off, he's 15 days clean from smoking pot. He finally quit. I'm betting in retrospect that this was probably helping to dull the memories, by smoking so much, and that now the memories are in the forefront of his mind. He has had a VERY painful life. And I feel ten times worse for having sex with him when he wasn't well. What should I do? Have I damaged him? Should I back away and try not to do any more damage?
Sorry, meant to add one more thing: part of why this is difficult and I'm freaking out and wanting to help is because our responses to our sexual abuse histories seem to be very different and it's just now sinking in. For the most part (not always), when I have bad memories I usually want physical intimacy right away in order to push away the bad memories and feel good with H. But with him it seems to be the opposite, and I'm just now getting it. When we met, sex was all he could talk about, and his libido has never matched what he was saying. For the longest time, he claimed it was because he had been with a lot of girls before me and done everything exciting, so there was nothing new to try sexually except to have a child with someone (me). And even though he hasn't said this, I really truly believe now that from the start, it's been because of the abuse but he hasn't known how to say it. He used to talk about the foster mother figure during sex and how amazing she was in bed and I would get angry and self-conscious - but now I am sickeningly realizing that he was reliving the abuse! He's probably been triggering from the very start, and I was making it worse the whole time! So our approaches to our sexual abuse are exact opposites: loss of interest in sex (him) and hypersexuality (me). And I don't want to hurt him any worse.

Hi, justwe. I'm glad you posted here. I also have a dissociative diagnosis (Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified - DDNOS). And I had an affair, from which my husband says he is "almost recovered". I'm not as far along, but definitely on the path to recovery, from both the shame of the affair and the fog of dissociation in which I made decisions during the affair.
My shame is increased by the fact that I was a therapist (which I should not have been) and my AP was a client. I just posted details about that on my profile. For the first two years after Dday I was nearly paralyzed with fear and self-hate, eventually becoming aware also of underlying grief and anger. During the last year+ I have started to be able to take in my husband's love and to integrate the sense of myself as a horrible, irredeemable person and as just a human being like everyone else, who did terrible harm but also has good to offer others. As far as what has helped, the main thing for me was persistence and listening to input from my husband and my therapist, and trying out their suggestions, even when I was too dissociated to really "get" what they were saying emotionally. First I concentrated on being aware of what I was thinking and feeling, then on considering that there might be other ways to think and feel. Finally I was able to actually have other thoughts and feelings sometimes.
silverhopes, I am so sorry for the tremendous pain you are in, and I hear your loving and heartfelt desire not to re-traumatize him. As someone who responded to CSA by withdrawing from sex, I would just like to say that at the same time, you cannot be responsible for not knowing what he was not able to reveal about his abuse history. Your clear intent now can hopefully help detoxify whatever in your past relations was triggering. But in the end, only he can set the boundaries he needs, which may vary from moment to moment. My husband has always been totally responsive to whatever I told him was sexually disturbing to me, but I had to tell him. I am still realizing what triggers me, and figuring out what I need to do to make myself feel safe and to heal. You may find it helpful to look at Allies in Healing, by Laura Davis, which is written for the spouses of sexual abuse victims.
nekorb (& others), if your husbands find reading a less difficult way of taking in information, a good source for male victims of sexual abuse is Betrayed as Boys. It is recommended by therapists in the trauma field, and when I read it I thought it was well written with a calm, compassionate tone.
I have peeked into this thread a few times since I joined, and I am glad I am finally ready to post.
All the best to all of us.
silverhopes posted 2/17/2014 21:33 PM
You are absolutely right, Plainsong. It is up to him to set those boundaries. I need to be careful not to inundate him and give him the time and space to consciously make those decisions. And ask. Always ask. Thank you so much for the book rec! I will order it right away!
Edith posted 2/18/2014 17:04 PM
Hi Silverhopes, I am so sorry you and your H are going through this. From the perspective of a CSA survivor, I would suggest that you talk with your husband and let him set the tone for physicality. Everyone is different and processes this stuff differently.
@ Plainsong, It sounds like you are on the right track and I wish you and your H peace and relief from this pain. In my experience with dissociative disorder, it was a total and complete, 100% blackness. No fog, no memory whatsoever. Complete darkness that has never ever come back to me. I suppose there are as many varied diagnoses as there are those of us who carry them. I wish you well.

"I was a little concerned when I first tried these on because the heel on this sandal is VERY thin and does tend to squeak when I walk on tile. However, with that being said, the leather is good quality, the designer details are very minimal but I have received so many compliments on how classy they look."

Looks sooo cute BUT
"When I saw these shoes I fell in love but when I got them I was SO disappointed!!! The heel size is small but they are so hard to walk in compared to other much higher heeled shoes. They also made an annoying sound with each step and they always felt like they were about to slip off every time I walked in them. HUGE BUMMER!!!!!!"

The Inglewood Public Library is very pleased to host three of the best known advocates and pioneers of space exploration, Dr. Louis Friedman and Emily Lakdawalla of The Planetary Society, and former NASA engineer James McCurry, for the final program of the Discover Earth exhibit. They will be presenting an illustrated presentation on the past and present of space exploration at the Gladys Waddingham Lecture Hall of the Inglewood Main Library, 101 W. Manchester Boulevard, Inglewood, CA, 90301, from 10.30 AM to 2 PM on March 15th, 2014.
When Dr. Louis Friedman helped co-found The Planetary Society, he brought to his position as Executive Director a wealth of experience in the space exploration community, including 10 years at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and five at AVCO Space Systems Division. He has been a guiding force with the Society for over 30 years and remains as excited as ever about humanity's journey into the solar system. Dr. Friedman will introduce our space exploration program and The Planetary Society.
James McCurry accomplished a career of 39 years in Systems Engineering and Program Management on a diverse assemblage of major engineering programs spanning aircraft, manned space, scientific and defense satellites, and computerized command and control systems, for the Air Force, Navy, Army, and NASA. He received a graduate degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology; and completed over four years active duty in Weapon Systems Program Management offices of three bomber aircraft at Wright Field, Ohio. From there he joined North American Aviation in Inglewood, California on the B-70 aircraft program. In early 1960 he joined the newly formed Space Technology Laboratories (STL) Mercury Atlas Booster program office (later transferred to The Aerospace Corp.) as a Systems Engineer. On Mercury, he participated in the booster acceptance and launch of all the Mercury Atlas flights at Cape Canaveral, including the historic flight of John Glenn. Mr. McCurry will share his experiences and the daunting challenges to put the first American into space.
Emily Lakdawalla is a passionate advocate for the exploration of all of the worlds of our solar system. Through blogs, photos, videos, podcasts, print articles, Twitter, and any other medium she can put her hand to, Emily shares the adventure of space exploration with the world. She came to The Planetary Society in 2001 to oversee a portion of the Society's Red Rover Goes to Mars project, an education and public outreach program on the Mars Exploration Rover mission funded by LEGO. She has been writing and editing The Planetary Society Blog since 2005, reporting on space news, explaining planetary science, and sharing beautiful space photos. She appears weekly on the Society's Planetary Radio podcast, answering listener questions or rounding up the latest space news from the blog. Ms. Lakdawalla will give a presentation on the Golden Age of Space Exploration (now!), what's currently happening with robotic exploration of the solar system, including lots of amazing photos.
Volunteers from The Planetary Society will also be on hand to answer questions and show you their telescopes.

Very good!
basically uchihas can't handle their emotions......i get it like this "the more power they get the more irrational they become". when you let your feelings rule over your mind it is a recipe for disaster.....
Miau, Miau, Miau.....prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
Juugo's The Absorbing Man, so does it mean that he now has Mokuton, or Does Orochimaru himself now have Mokuton for that Matter?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
However, how did Madara/Izuna and Itachi/Shisui develop their Mangekyou in the first place? The legend says that Madara and Izuna developped the Mangekyou in their effort to surpass each other. With Itachi and Shisui, it seems to have been the same thing. Although competition may be intense, it's nothing like killing your brother (Sasuke) or watching your secret love being killed by your best friend (Obito). If that were enough, many more Uchihas would have awakened their Mangekyou. Maybe there are more ways to awaken the Mangekyou (intense training maybe). But it's a bit strange.
The Mokuton seems to be a very difficult power to integrate. We have seen with Danzou that the Mokuton is difficult to control. Likewise all of the clones that Orochimaru tried to make of Hashirama died except for Yamato. Orochimaru probably realized this problem and that is why he was planning to wait until he had a powerful Uchiha body before integrating Hashirama's cells into his body. The Uchiha are apparently well suited to having the Mokuton, probably because of their genetic ties to the Rikudou.
I suspect that Orochimaru may now help Sasuke get the Mokuton and awaken the Rinnegan. I think that Sasuke will complete the bloodline of the Rikudou but Naruto will increase his knowledge of the Sage arts and Natural Energy.
Here there are two statues shown, one appears to be of a War god with 4 eyes 2 faces and 6 arms holding weapons and apparently performing a Jutsu. I believe that this Statue represents the power of the bloodlines, 2 sets of eyes (like the Eternal Mangekyou), 3 faces (a merge of the bloodlines), armed with weapons (like Susanoo), and performing a Jutsu (the power of ninja). The eyes of the central face are also angry, almost bestial while the other two faces appear to be neutral, this may represent the violence required to bring the powers of the bloodlines together. We have seen this both in how the Uchiha upgrade their eyes and how the bloodlines are fused.
The other statue appears to be of a peaceful god with a halo, eyes close, 2 hands folded in prayer, 2 hands held out in a meditation position, and 2 hands holding a globe. I believe this statue represents the Sage path. The halo/crown, represents knowledge and wisdom of the world, the statues eyes are close and hands are held in the meditation position (we saw Naruto assume similar poses to gather natural energy). I believe the globe represents the world itself, the source of the sages power and also what the sage protects.
While there background elements may just be for show, I think there is usually a reason behind their design.
this chapter has me appreciate naruto anew. without complaining about the misuse of mystery shrouding "the human who knows everything" being yet another edo tensei of known characters... i think having all the past hokages present is amazing and i would be lying if i said i never wanted it, ihappily accept it no matter the way in which it happened.
"rebirth of the hokage" - so much to read into! resurrection isn't simply rebirth and no dead hokage will be undergoing critical personality transformation. "rebirth" is deeper and i feel it touches upon itachi's wisdom at 7 years old and more importantly, what sasuke will learn an internalize after the conversation is over. i am not claiming he will become hokage but the "rebirth of hokage" , imo, means that whatever the leaf legacy is and how it participates into a shinibi being becoming hokage will be "conceived" in sasuke and thus "rebirth". will take some time ofc but after hashirama and the others make their impression on sasuke, his character will have something to resolve which is also vital to how he treats hus bond with naruto, a kage level matter of the heart.
tobirama talking down his older brother is a clear glimpse into how konahamaru and naruto will behave! i love it! haha, naruto as hokage having to slouch his shoulders because he is too pure hearted to save face after his subordinate, konahamaru, rebukes him in front of an auduence. just love it!
orichimaru being sly, pointing out he didn't bother tampering with their petsonalities to gain their trust while they are still unaware being in the midst of the stone tablet (oro selected the location, what's he up to)
sasuke activated ms mode, he must be getting itchy to "let out his feelings".
Obito is Tobirama's great grandson. The proof is in the pudding.
I am an artist, and my medium is death. I'm about to create my masterpiece :s
Fan of the Rasengan Doujutsu theory, even though it's dead. Although, he does have the special Uzumaki clan blood.
You have to remember that Uchiha were constantly battling other clans in the past, there were many occasions for their subdued feelings and emotions to bust out the moment something tragic happened.
Shisui was already displaying his MS power in the 3rd great ninja war, even though he seems to be only a little older than Obito (a war is always a tragedy). As to Itachi, loosing his friends, even witnessing his sacrifice, was most likely the act that awakened great emotions within Itachi, thus awakening his MS.
Actually, I think that Itachi tried to awaken Sasuke's MS by using Tsukuyomi a few times. The reason that it didn't work, suggests that he didn't value his clan as he valued Itachi. Theoretically, it should be possible to awaken MS within an Uchiha with a realistic illusions of their most precious people dying before them, but the Sharingan itself probably doesn't allow for them to be as effective as reality.
well, it's said now the sharingan is the eye that reflects feelings. so far, the focus has been on negative feelings and how the sharingan benefits from darkness and hate. it isn't proven that's the only way. when love is lost intensely it creates a special chakra. what if love is realized and kept safe intensely? does it not produce a special chakra also?
obito and sasuke both awakened sharingan to protect love (sasuke wont admit to his bond with naruto at the time). they cherished and it was intense, their sharingan awoke. clearly, sharingan is not strictly caused by anguish of loss but by the loving principle of protecting your comrades. something deep as the heart of konaha's guiding principle and will of fire.
mangekyo is what we see happening as the result of losing love and being born of hatred. naturally, losing love is the next step after having love and consequently the mangekyo would reflect that being the parallel next step in regards to power.
sharingan - protect and love
mangekyo - anguish and descent
ems - hatred and vengeance
tobirama did not offer an accurate explanation and is probably why his views were skewed. hashirama probably understands sharingan better and what it means.
when you see that sharingan awakens for good reasons, protecting those you love, you really start to flesh out more of the bloodline legacies and how they connect.
sharingan reflects love, is powerful, and when used with comrades that are relied upon to do what the sharingan cannot, the relationship is balanced and perfect. this is central to edo itachi's words to kabuto! when the comrade is lost the mangekyo awakes, the power is boosted in order to compensate for what was lost that the fallen loved one provided. that is the curse, the mangekyo, self reliance fed on darkness as a means to tragically destroy not only subsequent manifestation of love but to also destroy self. ms can still have an opposite side born from stronger love imo. ems was shown to happen because itachi loved sasuke. ems is probably the most steeped in meaning and symbol as our experience of it in the manga is limited and complex.
rinnegan? that's outer territory moving away from symptomatic uchiha and their feelings alone. as i said before and has been said again ny someone else, hashirama spared madara and volunteered his power to allow him to live. i don't think rinnegan could have happened otherwise given the thematic feelings we are now told cause their powers.
Obito is Tobirama's great grandson. The proof is in the pudding.
If all Uchiha are like that, then I'm starting to wonder if the Elder Brother wasn't like that as well. It does seem that it all started with him. Perhaps his doujutsu should be simply considered as an inborn EMS (they do have different shapes varying quite strongly). It would have been quite strange if So6p himself was like that, then again, with his sealing techniques, he might have been able to block it. This might really be a result of the Jyubi, seeing as even a slight amount of Natural Energy, tends to turn Juugo into a psychopath, so perhaps that special chakra, is indeed a Senjutsu Chakra. This would explain why Sasuke seems to have near unlimited (at least a lot of additional) amount of special chakra for his MS jutsu. The fact that they didn't learn a proper method of drawing and molding it, might be the cause of their eyesight deteriorating.
Ah the ET, I'm still wondering about the possibility of Obito using it, reviving all Uchiha (of whose eyes he has, this includes Shisui and Izuna) as well as other, like Jiraya, whose DNA he supposedly has in his possession (according to Kabuto). He knows how to perform the technique and he does have enough sacrificial material. Or perhaps even Madara himself having stored a few Edo Zombies just in case (he does to seem to know a lot about the technique).

Are two trades better than none?
Ryan Fancey
June 06 2012 11:45AM
With Vokoun off the market and Roberto Luongo supposedly set to meet with the Canucks sometime this week, you can count on the goalie talk surrounding the Leafs to pick up substantially, especially with the NHL and AHL playoffs wrapping up.
I guess this is a fairly easy observation to make, but it's quite likely that we'll be seeing two substantial moves from the Leafs to address the goaltending, or none at all.
There's a section of Leafs supporters who think the team can go ahead with Scrivens and Reimer, and another that believes they absolutely need to look outside of the organization for help. My stance on it probably changes from day to day, but I think going the way of adding someone else is where I'm at mostly. Perhaps this is because that feeling is shared by the Leafs' management.
Nonis has made it clear that he doesn't believe the Leafs will ice a goalie tandem of Scrivens and Reimer next season, and will go the route of exploring the league, more specifically the trade market. This is good news considering unrestricted free agents haven't typically been management's area of strength since being in Toronto. Burke's track record in trading is better.
If the Leafs move out assets for a goaltender like Luongo, the goalie pipeline turns into 1. Luongo 2. Reimer 2A. Scrivens. If they add a "settle down" goalie like Biron, who, personally I'm not cool with, then it turns into something like 0. Reimer 0. Biron 0. Scrivens. Either way, as it stands right now Scrivens is probably the odd man out. If you don't agree, fine, these things aren't written in stone. Then Reimer is out.
With Scrivens turning 26, entering RFA status, and ultimately ripping the AHL apart for the better part of the last two years, it's doubtful he's going back to the minors. He'll want to know what the Leafs' plans are for him heading into 2012-13.
Will the Leafs bury Reimer? I wouldn't count on it.
If the plan is to stick with Reimer and Scrivens, then there's nothing to talk about. But with Nonis saying the team is looking to upgrade, they're cornered into making two pretty big roster moves. Unless the Canucks are interested in taking a netminder back, of course. I don't know how likely that is.
It's the fear of going into Burke's last season with unproven NHL goaltenders that has this situation upon us. Going ahead with Scrivens and Reimer could work out, but if the Leafs refuse to try it out, who's heading out of town?

At this point the difference between Reimer and Scrivens (especially if the Leafs acquire Luongo) is a coin-flip. I'd trade Reimer because I'd imagine his value is higher than Scrivens'.

Pretty much this, but if Scrivens manages to yield a higher return somehow, that's the guy you deal.
Both guys are probably solid NHL backups at this point. Just don't give them more than 35 games.

Did You Know? Countdown to Rosh Hashanah 2009 (09/09)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Rosh Hashanah &
the Jewish High Holy Days
Sept 09 : 09 days to Rosh Hashanah
Did you know that Rosh Hashanah is one of three new years in the Jewish faith?
Tishrei, the month in which Rosh Hashanah falls, is actually the 7th month of the calendar year. Rosh Hashanah celebrates the creation of the world and marks the beginning of the new calendar year.
Nissan is the first month of the year and when the Jewish holiday of Passover falls. Nissan was historically the start of a new year for the counting of kings' reign.
Tu B'Shevat, which falls on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Shevat, is the new year for trees — the date by which observant Jews determine whether a tree's first fruits may be harvested and eaten
Rosh Hashanah begins a 10 day period, known as the High Holy Days or Yamim Nora'im, a time of penitence and prayer that ends with Yom Kippur. Jews worldwide are given these 10 days to repent for their sins and ask G-d for forgiveness.
We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fact each day as we countdown to Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish High Holy Days. Please join us!
Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Friday September 18, 2009.

The forecast is snow and rain for the post-Christmas holiday, and our New York staff has already begun burying their faces in spring campaigns in hopes to alleviate the reality of winter elements. The Calliope spring 2011 campaign was one very effective elixir, featuring Russian bombshell Masha Novoselova kicking back in the tall grass and reclining in the driver's seat of a beachy expedition. The styling is enough to keep our warm weather wardrobe mojo alive through the cold season—we love the cropped denim vest paired with a flowing sheer layered dress, and flirty denim shorts matched with a striped shirt that screams "Summer fashion, je t'aime!" …Or wait, maybe that was us screaming.
See the full campaign here.

It's no secret that we're major fans of anything bohemian. So, needless to say, when we laid our eyes on this editorial out of the pages of Vogue Russia filled with delectable boho everything we just had to make a big fuss about it. Not only does it show off some amazing denim separates like a killer pair of white jeans with an amazing Navajo pattern, but it's styled to perfection with perfect fall must-haves like fur (lots of it) and tons of layers. We love the great outfit combos and the overall wearability of it all. This is definitely a great modern boho look to copy this fall!

Aaris Edgar "Brig" Young, age 85, passed away Tuesday May 25, 2010 in Delta, Utah after a happy life. Brig was born Sept. 16, 1924 in Huntington, Utah to Alvin Little and Margaret Ellen Johnson Young. Growing up in Huntington, dad loved to sing with his brothers and cousins on the corner on Saturday nights. Brig served during World War II in the US Army Air Corp. Following his military service he met his sweetheart Kathy at a baseball game. He loved going to any activity his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren participated in. Whether it was baseball, golf, wrestling, or dance recitals, he was always there. His grandchildren have great memories of going to the Saturday Matinee movie with grandpa.
He coached many youth baseball and softball teams and was proud of his softball coaching record of 68 wins and 16 losses. Dad said, "We go to our games with a happy feeling. If we win, that's fine, and if we lose, we congratulate the other team and leave the game feeling we did the best we could do." He was often the first to tee off at Meadowbrook Golf Course, often starting before daylight.
Brig loved helping other people. After a snow storm, dad was out shoveling neighbors sidewalks before they had even woke up. He also enjoyed serving his church, working in the Jordan River Temple as well as being ward choir president.
Mom and dad loved to dance together and he is saving the last waltz for Kathy.
Brig is survived by his wife: Kathy; children: Linda (Mike) Bringhurst, Delta; Jeff (Debbie) Young, Farmington, N.M.; Craig (Shanon) Young, Delta, Utah, 10 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents: Alvin Little Young and Margaret Ellen Johnson.
Funeral Services were held Friday May 28, 2010 at 1 p.m. at the LDS Delta Stake Center. Burial was in the Delta City Cemetery.

I can wear a 7 1/2 or 8 in a sandal depending on the style. I choose black in the size 8 and they fit just right. 7 1/2 would have been too short. So glad they fit nicely. I would hate needing to return them. I would recommend them. Nice price too."

AUA Comments on CMS Proposed Rules
The AUA posted comments to CMS' Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and Outpatient Perspective and Ambulatory Surgical Center proposed rules that highlight changes for the 2013 Calendar Year.
Coding Corner:
Register Today for the October 20 Practice Management Update in Chicago!
United Healthcare recently released a directive in its September 2012 newsletter, Network Bulletin: Medicare Advantage Part B Specialty Drug Prior Authorization Program to include Seven More States – Effective October 1, 2012. The Part B Specialty Drug Prior Authorization Program has been implemented for California, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Utah and Western Iowa.
In the recent publication of the Electronic Health Record Incentive Program, Stage 2 (MU2) final rule by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) includes additional requirements for electronic interaction with patients. Most industry experts conclude that these new requirements make an Internet-based patient portal essential for practices who wish to continue to earn MU2 incentive payments. The complete final rule document can be found here. Many electronic health record (EHR) systems have a Web-based patient portal as a feature, but most portals are sold as an optional item that has not been widely adopted by physician practices.
AUA Urges Members to Weigh in During Public Comment Period
Earlier this year the National Quality Forum (NQF) announced that it would test a new process for approving quality measures by launching a pilot project focused on gastrointestinal and genitourinary measures. The new process has two components — Stage 1, where the measure concept is reviewed, and Stage 2, in which the measures are tested (reliability, validity, usability and feasibility). The AUA seized this opportunity and submitted a set of five stress urinary incontinence (SUI) measures, which were developed in tandem with the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Click here to learn more about this collaborative development effort.
The 18-person NQF Steering Committee (15 in attendance) met August 27-28, 2012, to review all of the measures submitted for Stage 1 of the pilot. The Steering Committee discussed all genitourinary measures on Monday, August 27.

Epistle Reading
Document Actions
Acts of the Apostles 14:6-18
Prokeimenon. Mode 1.
Psalm 73.2,12
Remember your congregation which you have acquired from the beginning.
Verse: But God is our eternal king; he has worked salvation in the midst of the earth.
IN THOSE DAYS, the apostles fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country; and there they preached the gospel. Now at Lystra there was a man sitting, who could not use his feet; he was a cripple from birth, who had never walked. He listened to Paul speaking; and Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well, said in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And he sprang up and walked. And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycaonian, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!" Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, because he was the chief speaker, they called Hermes. And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifice with the people. But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their garments and rushed out among the multitude, crying, "Men, why are you doing this? We also are men, of like nature with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them. In past generations he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways; yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness." With these words they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them.

8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
