Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Vash01, Aug 29, 2011.
And you don't see that has pushing... well, alrighty then.
If you like a movie and you "strongly recommend it" to others, does it mean you are "pushing" them to see it?
This is the comment that made me feel as though the poster was trying to guilt trip everyone in this thread . . . or everyone in the world . . . into reading the book.
There's a lot of suffering and injustice in the world. We each pick and choose where to invest our emotional capital (or actual time, labor, and money) in acknowledging the horrors, supporting the survivors, and trying to make things better. Not everyone is going to choose reading a book they find disturbing as their top priority.
Did I quote where he "strongly recommended" it? No, I quoted the little guilt trip of "it's your loss." THAT is pushing.
I'm just squeamish and fussy about my choice of reading materials. I hated the Helen Keller and Anne Frank books every time we had to read them for school. They were intended to be inspirational, but I found their stories sad and depressing, as a grade-school child through high school and college. Also hate stories about wars and battles, murders, and most non-fiction. (Told you I was picky) I'd choose a sci fi, fantasy or romance novel any day...or any book on figure skating, of course.
I was quoting NJL ("strongly recommended")- I don't see that as pushing.
Again, nobody is forcing you to read the book. If you are not interested, so be it. No need to complain about people that want to talk about the book.
Again, she wasn't complaining that people wanted to talk about the book, she felt that several people were "pushing" others to read it who stated that they did not want to do so. I read those posts the same way. As well-intentioned as they may have been, they weren't "recommendations," one was an outright guilt-trip.
I really admire her also, but I, too, couldn't read the book. The excerpts were hard enough to read. I have so little free time once after tending to my son and getting chores done, that I really prefer light reading when I do have the time. I probably wouldn't sleep a wink if I read the full book--serious books like that haunt me. Reading about kidnapping and torture is just a horrifying topic and freaks me out.
I hope that writing this book was (a) theraputic for Ms. Dugard and that (b) she makes a lot of money and that she can take care of her girls needs for the rest of their lives. No amount of money can make up for what she went through but I hope she will be comfortable and the bastard rots in heII.
I believe that Jaycee has stated that the book has helped her.
The State of California awarded Jaycee $20,000,000 in compensation in July of 2010 for it's errors in investigating her abduction and, especially, in Garrido's various parole officers, he was on parole for a 50 year sentence for abduction & rape, not thoroughly investigating his property in over 60 visits there.
Hopefully, the ongoing therapy she's getting, along with the availability of sufficient $$$ to keep her going & taking care of her children, and, I suspect, her extended family, will provide her with all she needs to recover from this ordeal. Having watched Diane Sawyer's extended interview with her, which convinced me I should read the book, BTW, I feel she'll do well. In that extended conversation you meet a delightfully happy soul that hates no one, considers herself blessed and seems to greet each day as an adventure to be embraced and devoured. Fantastic young woman. She deserves every good thing that life can now bring her.
Mr Garrido has a prison sentence of several hundred years to life. From what I can gather he's kept in the same unit as Charles Manson, because if either of them is ever let into the prison's general population they'd be soon killed by some con out to increase his street cred inside. Consequently, he spends 23 hours a day locked in a small room. He'll spend whatever time he has left there. If this is true I find it very appropriate & pleasing. He pretty much has a life like he forced on Jaycee. He deserves it.
Entire post:
She is not making money from the sales of the book; she is donating it to charity. However, as NJL wrote, she received 20 mill compensation for the gross errors of the officers. Although no amount of money can undo what she went through, at least she is happy and comfortable with her loved ones now.
Which, as has been pointed out, I never complained about.
I actually am quite happy for people to talk about the book. That's one way I decide if I want to read a book and why I came into this thread to begin with.
Then why do you even bother to come to this thread if you have no interested in reading her book? They weren't pushing others to read it. The poster said "You can do it" because 3-4 posters said they were "interested in reading" but couldn't handle it. That's all. They weren't pushing this book to anyone who WASN'T INTERESTED in this book.
Just to be clear, SOME of the book's proceeds go to the charity. I hadn't read that ALL of the proceeds would be donated, so I would expect her to make some money from the sales.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you. She had a lot of life stolen from her and $20k isn't much when you have two kids to care for.
She got 20 million.....$20,000,000....not $20K....$20,000. I agree that 20K isn't much. OTOH, $20,000,000 should be sufficient for almost anything she & her children may need in this lifetime...
Thank you. I thought I had read million in an article about the sentencings, but then others posted the $20k number, so I figured I had read it wrong initially. Still, the book proceeds are only partially going towards the charity.
Fair enough. We can agree she's in pretty good shape as far as $$$$$ is concerned....
Considering the gross negligence of the officers and what it cost her in terms of her life (18 years of hell- living with a criminal who abused and raped her, not seeing her family, living in abominal conditions, no schooling, not even using her real name, and so on), there is no way $20K would have been enough to settle. It has to be 20 million.
I find this ironic given that (a) you are telling me that my interpretation of what people are saying in this thread is incorrect yet in the post RIGHT ABOVE yours I said:
Thus (b) showing your reading comprehension is a bit lacking.
You are sure taking a looooong time to decide, if you came to this thread to decide whether the book is worth reading. Actually one of your first posts said you had no interest at all in reading this book, so your mind was already made up. You are posting a lot on a thread that you have no interest in.
So? The thread is interesting...
Or it was interesting until you started the ad hominem attacks.
Can you two take it to PM so people can discuss Ms. Dugard's book?
There is at least one other book about this crime available through Amazon: Lost and Found: The True Story of Jaycee Lee Dugard and the Abduction... by John Glatt, a writer that specializes in writing about crimes. It was published in Sept 2010, Jaycee's book was published in July 2011, consequently it does not cover as much after her release as her book does.
However, it gives you a very good rundown on her abductor & his wife and their reason for committing the kidnapping and all that followed. There are interesting insights into her life in captivity other than the sexual torment she endured, it is mentioned but not described, a very good rundown on how & why the Police at UC Berkley were so interested in the 2 young girls Garrido had with him on his visits there, - for one thing their style of dress was likened to 'Little House on The Prairie' - and how his probation officer, acting on the information the police officer from UC Berkley had given him along with Garrido's bizarre entrance to the probation office while he was talking to her finally forced him to investigate exactly what was going on. Considering that the Epilogue to 'Lost & Found' states that Jaycee had told investigators after her release that parole agents had actually spoken to her and her oldest daughter during their captivity but did nothing then, it was about time.
If I were to recommend a sequence for reading the 2 books I'd say read Lost and Found first, then Jaycee's A Stolen Life. One gives you valuable background that is useful while reading the other. You could follow up both books with Jaycee's interview with Diane Sawyer. That will give you a good look at one of the most remarkable people ever and actually bring considerable closure to the reader.
ETA: The Diane Sawyer interview:
I'd forgotten that this might be a bit too strong for some folks. The early part of the conversation does deal with the abduction & early days of captivity. It also verifies the claim made that she actually did speak with parole officers during her captivity.
The entire interview, advertisements and all, runs for 85 minutes.
Excuse me, but I am the one that started this thread with the intention of discussing this book.
And? You are also doing your part to derail the discussion of the book. Still.
On one of Jaycee's lists of things she'd like to do that she wrote in the journal she kept during her captivity, the same one where she listed 'ride a hot-air balloon' and 'learn to drive', if memory serves, she also listed 'write a best seller'. While leafing through yesterday's Miami Herald I came across the latest New York Times list of Best sellers. Number 2 on the list of non-fiction hardcover books was A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard. One more item to cross off of the list, Jaycee. Well done....
I assume she has a drivers license by now (another one to check off). We take it for granted, but it must mean so much to her!
Yes, she does. The reason I mentioned the balloon & the drivers license is I knew they were 2 things she'd already done.
She'd mentioned the drivers license in both the book & the interview with Diane Sawyer - her younger sister taught her how to drive - and the Diane Sawyer interview ended with Jaycee & her mother drifting over the landscape in a hot air balloon. The person that thought she had no future when she wrote the list doing one of the more frivolous things on it just because she wanted to with the person that was #1 on the list - 'see mom'. How many more would she accomplish in her future?
Since the ride in a hot-air balloon was also mentioned in the interview it made for a very nice ending to it.
Off topic, but it is about Jaycee. She's is suing the US govt over their mismanagement of Garrido for the years he was under their parole supervision.
If this ever gets to trial & she actually wins all proceeds will go to her JAYC Foundation.
I've looked at several places that have reported this lawsuit. More than a few posts in the comments section are strongly against it. She already got $20 mil from the State of California & that should be enough, it's wrong because the taxpayer will get stuck paying any award, she shouldn't get anything because she never tried to escape, etc.
I feel that the suit should be allowed. Even of she gets nothing financial out of it she gets to let the feds know that their mistakes cost a young girl 18 years of her life. Maybe it's time to rethink how they do parole from now on. They certainly failed Jaycee, both at the Federal & State level.
NJL (...and A Stolen Life is still on the best seller list, but has gone down a bit...)

March 27, 2014
Vols head coach Cuonzo Martin along with starters Antonio Barton, Jeronne Maymon, Jordan McRae, Josh Richardson and Jarnell Stokes previewed the Sweet 16 match-up vs. Michigan.
Head Coach Cuonzo Martin
THE MODERATOR: We're joined by University of Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin. Questions.
Q. Coach, can you talk about just the difference with Jarnell Stokes this season, obviously last year a lot of inconsistent moments, but what's changed with him both mentally and on the court?
COACH MARTIN: Well, I think first and foremost his body. He's 260 pounds. He probably played at 270, 270-plus, but he's 260 pounds. He's very mobile. He's improved his perimeter game. 15- to 17-foot jump shot.
He's always been a guy that watched film and studies the game. But does a great job preparing his body, eating right, getting his rest. But he also wants to be a great player.
And I think the thing I've said about Jarnell is he's one of the few guys I've been around that can take criticism or what somebody says about his game, listen to it, hear it, embrace it and try to get better at it. A lot of young guys will kind of run from that.
But he does a great job, if somebody said this about me, these are the things I need to work on to get better. That's why he's the player he is today.
Q. Coach, you guys have talked a lot about being a tougher breed this year. How have the ups and downs from the middle of the season helped this team grow and become that tough team to get you where you are today?
COACH MARTIN: I think, a lot of teams go through things through the course of a season. I think that's the great thing about a long season, anything can happen, trying to gel lineups and personnel, getting guys to play better and strengthen your bench. There are a lot of things that go on through the course of a season.
But I think for our guys they've stayed consistent. If you look at us over the past three years, one thing we've done is get better down the stretch of a season.
And we take pride and continue the individual skill part of our guys, the team scheme things, the guys understand what we're trying to do. We're defending better.
And I think this particular group have a love for each other and they want to be successful as a team. I think that's why you see the results you see. But you also have to have talent to do that and you also have to have the guys embrace what you're trying to do as a coach and not give up.
Q. Seems like just yesterday you were wearing a Boilermaker uniform playing in the tourney, here you are now, can you talk about the foundation that was put in place for you as a player, a coach and a man in your stints at West Lafayette?
COACH MARTIN: Well, with coach, playing for Coach Keady was a great experience for me. And I'll never forget when he came to my home in East St. Louis, a lot of coaches come in, sell me different things, talk about different things, the things that Coach Keady talked about was if you go to class every day you'll get a degree. If you work hard, you'll play, and that was really it. It was not a lot of promises going on.
And at that time I wouldn't say I appreciate it, but my mom, she liked it and she respected that and she said, I think you need to go to Purdue. It's probably one of the greatest decisions I made in my life because Coach was a good man. He was a fair man.
He taught me a lot of things. Obviously he's a great coach, but I think more of his teaching taught me things in life to be consistent.
And the other thing he always said, I'll try to use this, he said, If you go to class every day, you'll put $100 in your bank account. If you miss a class you'll take a thousand out. So that means you gotta go to class every day.
But just a good man. Worked extremely hard at his craft. He doesn't get the credit he deserves, even though he's a Hall of Famer. I think because of his humble approach that's why he's so respected.
Q. Can you just talk a little bit about what your relationship is with Glenn Robinson and what it's going to be like for you to coach against his son?
COACH MARTIN: I have a good relationship with Glenn. Obviously my roommate, teammate, a great player, probably the best I've ever played with and against. But just a good man.
I'm happy for him. I'm happy for Tre Robinson III and it will be fun playing against him. Of course, we'd like to get the win, but I'm happy to see where he's come, how far he's come as a basketball player. He's a great kid and I watched him grow up so I'm happy for him.
Q. Can you just talk a little bit about what kind of mindset you guys had when you found out you had to go through the play-in game and what that's done for you going forward and also if you've used what VCU used a few years ago as an example or as a standard?
COACH MARTIN: The biggest thing for us, we were happy to play in a NCAA Tournament. I'm not sure, maybe I'm clueless on the fact that people say the First Four. It's the NCAA Tournament. That's the most important thing.
Tennessee is in the NCAA Tournament, and that's all I was consumed with, and I was happy to be in it. Our guys were happy playing in it.
We are ready to play basketball. We were very grateful for the opportunity and I think that's why our guys are playing fun, playing for fun, playing together and enjoying the process.
Q. Your team went 2 and 4, stretch of that in February. What did your team take from that and build off of that to propel you into the postseason and into this tournament?
COACH MARTIN: I think with the 2 and 4 losing some close games finding ways to win games as opposed to losing them down the stretch, making big free throws and a big shot. Setting a good screen here.
But I think down the stretch of things when you lose games by two or three points you've got to get stops on the defensive side of the ball. There's a lot of things involved with winning things down the stretch.
I think for those guys they stayed consistent. We continue to watch film. Let's figure out a way to correct this so when it presented itself again we were able to make the adjustments and have success.
Q. East St. Louis, John's from Edwardsville. Kent's from Mount Vernon. Coach is from Harvey. Talk about those Illinois roots and those Illinois values that you bring to the table.
COACH MARTIN: Well, just all guys that came from tough programs, programs that had success. Coaches that taught the game. Get a good feel for the game. Understanding the game.
And I think for all our guys, maybe outside of Kent, our staff, guys were role players, became good basketball players at some point in their career so you understand all spectrums of a basketball player.
But again, you were taught the game and how to play the game.
Q. Obviously the issue of paying players has come up a lot with the decision yesterday about the National Labor Relations Board. As somebody who played in a big-time program and coaches that have won, do you have thoughts as what should be done for players, whether it's fair in an event that makes so much money that players don't see a whole lot from it?
COACH MARTIN: I just think it's extremely hard. Of course, when I was playing I'd say, yeah, pay players, you need some money.
But I think when you start playing players, how much are you paying, who is getting paid. Because if you're paying this athlete, I think all athletes are the same. You pay the tennis player the same you pay the football player, I don't think that changes.
But does the athletic program have the money to pay athletes? And I think that's the hard part. The one thing I would say, even when I played, and I was able to get financial aid as a player, I had some teammates who both parents worked, weren't able to get financial aid and I thought those guys really struggled because parents made enough money where they couldn't get Pell Grant or financial aid, but they didn't make enough where they can give their kids money on weekends to wash their clothes, that sort of thing.
I think there was a fine line. If you can get the money, because you want to go to a movie every now and then, to be able to wash your clothes and do those things, I think there's extra money. But when you're talking about tens and thousands of dollars, I don't know about that because then it becomes a pro sport.
Q. Curious about your relationship with Coach Warlick, do you have conversations with her at all and what's that like?
COACH MARTIN: With Coach Holly? Great relationship. We talk all the time via text, go by her office, she comes by my office. It's good. It's good.
She's about her players winning programs, have a passion for her players, it's fun being around her.
Q. You've talked a lot as you guys have gotten close to this point about wanting your players to experience this and have that that they can cherish forever. What's your message to them before they hit the court today and your advice to them about this weekend in general?
COACH MARTIN: We practiced this morning before we got over here. It was more of a grind-it, nuts and bolts of what we need to do. We got to this point. You've got to have fun with it. You can't be uptight in this atmosphere. Obviously you're doing something right to get to this point. You've got to enjoy it, embrace it.
You've got seniors that will never play in this game again. So have fun with it and do what we've been doing to be successful. It's the most important thing.
Q. Can you talk a little bit about how your health battle maybe changed your perspective on life and the game and if it did that?
COACH MARTIN: Well, I don't know if it necessarily changed my perspective on life, because I like to think I was a solid guy before that.
But what it does, it makes you value things, in my opinion, that are more important than others. Learning to appreciate life a little bit better. After five years, I had nonHodgkin's lymphoma, the chances of returning are like anybody else.
I don't see it that way because every day if I don't think about it, then it's a good day for me. It pops up when I hear about it, read about it.
But for me, I take one day at a time. But I don't think it made me a better person. I think it made me understand what's more important.
Q. What are your impressions of Michigan, what do you feel like you have to do against them?
COACH MARTIN: Very talented team. I think it will be the first team that we've played all season, in my opinion. Four guys on the perimeter. They can pass, shoot, dribble the ball, come off ball screen, can attack the rim, can shoot pull-ups. You don't see many teams like that that can do it on the perimeter.
I don't think Jordan Morgan gets the credit he deserves as a skilled big man because of probably how the offense is set. He can do a lot of things. A very talented basketball player.
For us, he's a key in what we're trying to do to stop those guys, even though they have great perimeter guys, Jordan Morgan's very valuable in what they do.
Again, a team with a lot of moving parts. Great spacing, make one-on-one plays, you don't see many college teams with multiple teams that can play multiple plays.
Q. Coach, will Josh Richardson draw the assignment on Nik Stauskas, if so, how important is that matchup going to be for tomorrow?
COACH MARTIN: Yes, he'll start on him. How they play, what we do defensively, there will be different switches. You'll see Jeronne or Jordan McRae. But he'll have the assignment out the gates, but it depends on some of the actions whether we'll switch or not.
THE MODERATOR: Thank you, Coach Martin. The Tennessee student-athletes will be along momentarily.
Starters Antonio Barton, Jeronne Maymon, Jordan McRae, Josh Richardson, Jarnell Stokes
We're joined by the University of Tennessee student-athletes. I ask you raise your hand, we'll get a mic to you, state your affiliation, to whom you're directing the question.
Questions for the student-athletes.
Q. Jarnell, obviously last season you had some troubles with consistency. What's changed for you mentally and physically this season?
Jarnell Stokes: I think as a team we've played a lot better. Guys have stepped up and it's hard for teams to game plan for me because we have so many different pieces on the team. And I think I've also lost weight and been able to condition my body better to go for longer periods of time.
Q. Josh, Coach said you're going to draw the assignment on Nik Stauskas starting out tomorrow's game. How important is that matchup and what can you do to limit his offense?
Josh Richardson: Michigan's offense pretty much flows through him. He's their best perimeter scorer, probably their best passer, and I think it would be critical to run him off the 3-point line as well as LeVert, they're probably their two best outside scorers.
Q. For any of the players, just talk about the complexities in Michigan's offense, how you have to be ready for any of the switches, any of the eventualities they have?
Antonio Barton: We've been watching film. They run a lot of sets and plays, you've gotta be down and ready defensively at all times and just communicate.
Jeronne Maymon: But their offense is pretty complex. They do a lot of backdoors, and it's going to be hard for us, but Coach Williams, head of the scout, he did a good job getting us ready.
Q. Jeronne, just how does it feel to be healthy this year going into a postseason compared to the injuries you've had to deal with in your career?
Jeronne Maymon: I'm just blessed to be playing with my teammates. I thank God for everything he's done for me. I'm just happy to be out here.
Q. Jordan, for when you look back at your freshman year, now you're here, you're on the stage at the Sweet 16, can you kind of just take us through what this week has been like for you in terms of kind of perspective-wise?
Jordan McRae: It's been a long road. As you know, I have great teammates and great coaches around me and everything came together at the right time.
Q. For any of you guys, when you saw the draw and saw you got one of the First Four games, were you happy, disappointed that you weren't in the tournament, you know, right away and how much have you guys used that as motivation?
Josh Richardson: When we started with the First Four, we were excited to be able to extend our season and have a chance to play in the NCAA Tournament, and since we've been in, we've been making the most of it. So we're going to try to do the same tomorrow.
Jarnell Stokes: I feel like I was somewhat disappointed. I felt like we were a better seed than what they gave us. And the cameras were in our face and I couldn't even get up and cheer. But I knew if we got past the first game we were going to have momentum going into the second game, that's exactly what happened.
Q. Jarnell in particular, a lot of people saying that Tennessee has a significant physical advantage in this game. Do you guys see it that way? Is it something that you'd like to exploit?
Jarnell Stokes: I don't really get into like statistics and what people are saying. I feel like every game I'm going to we have a physical advantage against them.
But sometimes you just have to hope that they're missing shots and maybe they don't get as many rebounds because they are hidden shots.
Q. Jeronne, similar to the physical question, if you're matched up with Robinson, 6'6", 210, what are you looking to do against a guy that size? I'm sure you don't see that that often.
Jeronne Maymon: Just play my game. You don't want to do anything too extra or try to be overaggressive. That's how you get foul calls.
I think me being so big and Jarnell, me and him both being so big, we've got smaller guys on us, and we kind of duck in or something, they fly across the court, it's kind of like a foul on us. You don't want to be too aggressive, just play your game like you've been playing it.
Q. Jarnell, follow-up to saying you might have been a better seed, how much of a motivation is it to prove, with what you've done, to prove to people that you were better than you were seeded? For Jarnell.
Jarnell Stokes: I think it was great motivation to prove. I think we've been able to do so much in this last stretch. We only lost one game and that's against the No. 1 team in the country.
And we've been in so many close games this year. I felt like we're better than what our record said, because sometimes we just go cold in the last two or three minutes. And we just haven't been able to pull out games. But I think now we're figuring it out.
Q. Tennessee has only played Michigan once since 1985. Is it more of a challenge to play programs that you don't face on a regular basis and don't have any history with, or do you consider that fun?
Antonio Barton: I would say it's fun and challenging, challenging because you're not used to playing against them. You don't know what they run.
But it's also fun because it's a good experience. You want to play everybody across the country in different conferences, see what they're about.
Q. Stokes, you've talked a lot about coming here, wanting to turn the program around that was down when you got here. Is there something a little bit special that you guys are playing Michigan, a team that last time this team was in the tournament lost by 30 in the first round? Jarnell.
Jarnell Stokes: I wasn't a part of that team when they lost. But I definitely remember watching that game. It doesn't mean anything now. It's totally different players, different coaches. That's not motivation at all.
Q. Jeronne and Jarnell, if you could address this, when it came down to the level of criticism in Knoxville against the coaching staff and the team itself, when it was closed doors with just the players, did this kind of become an us versus them situation in terms of kind of countering the criticism that you guys were hearing?
Jeronne Maymon: You know, it was more so just having each other's back, I wouldn't say it was us versus them. But it's just having each other's backs, being there for one another no matter what the cost was.
Jarnell Stokes: I think all those talks definitely brought us together, made us more of a family. I felt like throughout our struggles it made us stronger, definitely when it counted. I'm glad we were able to pick it up towards the end.
THE MODERATOR: Thank you.

"It's a very good accomplishment for us to be where we are as such a low seed in the NCAA Tournament. We've taken it game by game and we realize a team like Mercer can beat Duke so anything can happen in these games."
On how big they must be inside and on the boards to win:
"You can't really look at how many rebounds they have because they have shot a high percentage all season. We are more of an inside team, we get to the rim and that leads us to get rebounds. They know that coming into the game and I'm sure they have a scheme on how to box us out."
On being more aggressive:
"I have been doing that all year. I mean, we are winning now so that leads to more attention. When you are able to score and lead your team to victory, I guess you get more attention from the media."
On his success in the tournament and not having butterflies:
"When I was in Dayton, in the first half I definitely had butterflies. I came out sluggish. I was just surprised at how they got such a big lead on us and since I just haven't looked back."
Jordan McRae (Locker Room Quotes)
On the location and the stage of the event:
"It has a feel to it just because the court is raised up and we have to use steps to get up to the court, so it has that feel to it."
On what Michigan does well:
"Michigan is a team that runs four guards and they shoot the three ball very well. For us to be successful, we just have to defend and rebound."
On if they feel locked in over the last three or four games:
"We're playing good right now. We are defending at a high level and it's working for us."
On if they are enjoying this experience:
"We are having fun and a great time with this experience. This is a once in a lifetime experience and a lot of us are seniors, so this is definitely how we would want to go out."
On the leap Jarnell Stokes has made as a player:
"Jarnell is finishing with both hands well and is attacking the offensive end and the defensive glass well. We need him to do that for us to win.
On his passing out of double teams:
"It's tough for our bigs to pass out of double teams because they see so many throughout the year, but they are doing a good job of being patient and making the good reads."
On Michigan's perimeter game against Tennessee's interior game:
"I look forward to it. I don't see any advantage there. It's not an advantage."
On Michigan's Stauskas:
"He's a good player. He shoots the ball well and moves without the ball well. He is just an all-around good player for them."
Darius Thompson (Locker Room Quotes)
On playing your best basketball and being locked in right now:
"I feel like we are playing our best basketball right now at the end of the season. Usually, you would think you'd be playing your best around the middle of the season, but for us, it has been the other way."
On coming out at Lucas Oil Stadium and seeing the big stage:
"It's crazy. I'm watching a football team play on this and now I'm playing basketball on the same field they are playing on."
Antonio Barton (Locker Room Quotes)
On being in the Sweet Sixteen:
"It's just exciting. The lights are real bright and it's just a wonderful feeling to be here at this moment."
On playing on the raised court and the differences:
"You just have to take a while to get the touch on the rim. Because it's such a big arena, you just have to find your stroke on the rims."
On Michigan and what jumps out:
"All of their guards can create on their own. They can get their shot off the dribble and they are good when they spot up. They can create on their own and we just have to come out and defend."
On how big of a test Michigan will be for their defense:
"Every night is a test. You don't know what teams will throw at you. We just have to stick to our defensive principles and come out and play basketball."
On enjoying the experience:
"This is a once in a lifetime thing and you have to enjoy every moment. When we are in the locker room or the hotel, we let it soak in, but when we hit the court we are all business."

Truck-mounted hoists account for a healthy portion of the American truck accessory market. According to Stephen Latin-Kasper, director of market data and research for the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA), an estimated $75 million to $80 million worth of truck-mounted hoists were sold in the United States last year. This projection is based on manufacturing data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the association's Annual Manufacturers Shipments Survey.
Municipal users account for a sizable share of hoist sales. The products make it possible for a work truck to be put to use in a range of applications—waste hauling, landscaping, construction, and other demanding jobs. The ability to customize, availability of a wide variety of unit sizes, and varying hauling/dumping capacities make hoists suitable for use at both large and small public works agencies.
At the NTEA's annual Work Truck Show convention and trade exhibition—scheduled this year in Atlanta from Feb. 28 to March 3—municipal users the chance to look at truck-mounted hoists, lifts, and other work-truck accessories. For more information, visit www.ntea.com.
Roll-off truck
The company offers custom-designed roll-off trucks to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications. For example, it crafted a configuration, based on a Terex platform, for use in a municipal landfill. The product enables the off-road vehicle to be used as a dump truck to haul landfill cover, as a water tanker for dust control, or as a hydro seeder. The frame handles standard 22-foot outside rail containers and has a lifting capacity of 75,000 pounds. An independent hydraulic system avoids contamination and other problems. American Roll-Off. www.pwmag.com/06feb1.
Dual-height rotating hook
The SL-180 dual-height rotating hook enables users to pick up bodies or containers with a hook height of 36 or 54 inches. Designed for use on light- to medium-duty chassis, the product is suitable for landscapers, material haulers, and contractors. It offers a lift capacity of 18,000 pounds, and it accommodates truck bodies ranging from 14 to 18 feet long. Other features include low-pressure hydraulics, slide-through body locks, dual rear pivot, and dual lift cylinders. It can work as a mount/dismount system, or as a true dump truck with a 57-degree dump angle. A 36-inch fixed jib is available. Swaploader. www.pwmag.com/06feb2.
Underbody hoists
This line of underbody hoists features single- and twin-cylinder configurations, designed to fit on 60- to 108-inch cabs to trunnion trucks. The design accommodates bodies from 8 to 14 feet in length. Features include a massive unitized lift-arm weldment; precision-bored, chrome-plated cylinders; high-pressure hydraulics (rated at 2000 psi); and oversized bearings throughout for increased life. In addition, the units' rugged construction require little maintenance. Warren. www.pwmag.com/06feb3.
Subframe hoist
The LL-650S subframe hoist is available on truck bodies measuring 9 to 16 feet. The double-acting hoist offers a range of pump options. The high-pressure hydraulics are rated at 3300 psi. It offers a dump angle of 50 degrees. Its capacity ranges from 7 to 13 tons, based on box length. Optional features include an electric pump cabinet and a subframe extension. A scissor-hinge-back configuration also is available. Tafco Equipment Co. www.pwmag.com/06feb4.
Standard- and low-profile hoists
The company offers hoists with two different profiles. The standard-profile hoists mount above the chassis frame. The low-profile units feature a drophinge design that lowers the rear hoist frame pivot points to reduce the mounting height between the chassis frame and platform. Each hoist has double-action cylinders that power up and down. The high-strength tubular steel construction and carbon-steel shafting offer long operating life. Cherokee Truck Bodies. www.pwmag.com/06feb5.
Scissor hoists
The BullDog line of heavy-duty scissor hoists is designed for use in construction, landscaping, agriculture, and other applications. Each of the products offers easy-mounting, adjustable frames with rugged construction. Models offer dumping capacities ranging from 5 to 22 tons; the 5- to 20-ton capacity hoists fit beds from 8 to 18 feet long, and the 12-to 22-ton hoists fit on beds ranging from 12 to 20 feet. A 5- to 10-ton hoist designed for trailers is available, as are electric and power takeoff kits. Dewey Ironworks LLC. www.pwmag.com/06feb6.
Telescopic hoists
The Olympic Series telescopic hoists offer stabilized twin-cylinder configurations. The high-capacity products are designed to handle off-center loads and non-level dumping conditions. The hoist components are made of high-strength steel, and the piston rods and cylinder stages are hard-chromed and high-polished for extended cylinder life. Six models are available, fitting truck bodies from 10 to 26 feet long. Hoists for platform or dump-body applications are available. Dumping angles range from 40 to 55 degrees, and dump capacities range from 13 tons to more than 40 tons. In addition, the hoists can be mounted in either direction for easy, quick, and flexible installation. Omaha Standard. www.pwmag.com/06feb7.
65,000-capacity hooklifts
The Hooklift System offers lift capacities from 3000 to 65,000 pounds, with an assortment of available body configurations. Each model in the line can load, unload, and dump with bodies ranging from 8 to 21½ feet. It permits multiple bed applications on a single chassis. The operator can load, unload, or change beds in less than a minute, without leaving the truck cab. Other features include grease-less bushings, dump/load interlock, and efficient low-flow/high-pressure hydraulics. Stellar Industries Inc. www.pwmag.com/06feb8.

Discussion in 'Moves In The Field' started by lovepairs, Sep 11, 2010.
Where is it?
Hear the silence echoing? This is the best kept secret in figure skating!
What I hear is that if it wasn't decided by the September meeting (which was last Tuesday?) then we wouldn't know until November.
Where are the sectionals and etc? I think we do know that much, yes?
Mids is in Dearborn MI. Easterns is in Pittsburgh. Pacifics are in Las Vegas. All are the weekend of February 25-26.
Oh, shoot. I think Pitts is 9 hours from where I live. I was thinking maybe this year...
Find all your news for Adult Sectionals here:
Since it's 5 month out from the traditional announcement time, I'm just guessing that their in crisis mode. Whomever gets it, if anyone at all, will have very little preparation time. I can't imagine any home club that would want to put themselves into that kind of crunch time at this point.
I think it's safe to say that if the AN place is not decided until November, that AN as it's been known is fundamentally changed, if it happens at all
How about this instead of AN: "Basic Skills," Junior Skaters, and, of course, the Elites all have Grand Prixs, so why not the Adults! More to come...
Nice link! Thanks.
The reason AN has not yet been announced is that there were four bids. If the first choice was not able to meet the requirements for the event, the next bid is contacted and so on. The board of directors must approve the location before it can be announced. If the first choice misses the deadline for the meeting, the approval must wait until the next meeting. The last meeting was on Sept. 7. The announcement should be made very soon. No one is in crisis mode, and nothing fundamental has changed for AN. Thank you for your patience.
Did they decide at the Sept meeting? I understood (and I could certainly be wrong) that there was no October meeting so the next chance for approval was November.
Well if no one is in crisis mode, it doesn't change the fact that this is well after the traditional announcement date of May and that a November decision date leaves a club with only 5 months to prepare, 7 months less to prepare then any prior host! I suspect the club would be in panic mode if they are chosen, even if the decision makers are not.
Just in the event that AN doesn't happen it might be, indeed, be very interesting to consider putting together a Grand Prix for the Adults. Just read this link below and substitute "adult skater" where ever it says "beginning skater," and see what you think:
http://www.usfigureg/Programs.asp?i...and end all of our entire experience. :watch:

Just in the event that AN doesn't happen it might be, indeed, be very interesting to consider putting together a Grand Prix for the Adults. Just go to www.usfigureskating.org and select Programs, then Basic Skills, and read Competition Series. Substitute "adult skater" where ever it says "beginning skater," and see what you think.
Even if by some miracle AN did take place this year, a Grand Prix for Adults might take some pressure off AN being the be all and end all of our entire experience.
Relax. Assuming a club is in crisis mode for ANs is a big leap. Why always assume the worst? And why wouldnt AN happen? 4 clubs bid on it, so clearly there's interest in holding in.
I don't think as Adult skaters a Grand Prix is really realistic, although it's an interesting idea. Basic Skills competitions are plentiful, there could be several in a season in one state alone. Adult competitions aren't like that and they're all over the country. I know I wouldn't have the time off or money to go traveling to every single Adult competition. I might go to two out of state ones before Sectionals in a good season. I can't recall any Adult skater who would hit every single Adult competition. This would make it hard to consistently accrue points in a Grand Prix type of competition. Plus, ANs really is our end all. It's the one competition the majority of us go to, and it's the end of the season. It's what works.
It is an interesting idea, though. I wonder how it could be re-worked to apply to Adult skating....
I hope it comes back to New England at some point. I would enter just for a lark, given that my Silver is not terribly competitive.
Dramatics are unnecessary. AN will happen as scheduled, no miracles needed. Just because it has not been announced doesn't not mean there is any crisis or panic going on. Except for everyone who has not yet been informed. It will very likely be announced next week. As I said, there were four bids, and the club that is being awarded the bid already knows. Please be patient.
AN's is NOT usually announced in May, it is announced when the board of directors have voted on it. Most clubs who do bid on the event are clubs that have experience with larger competitions. A club would not bid on the event if they did not think they could pull it together. To assume anyone is in panic mode is not correct. Lovepairs is stating only her opinion, she sits on NO US figure skating committees and has no insight greater than any other person. Until there are a set of guidelines for (skill) levels across the ISU for adult skaters you will not have a "grand prix" type event. WASA has no affiliation with the ISU or US figure skating.
With regards to basic skills being the basic premise behind a grand prix what do you do with skaters who are above FS 6. At dance it stops with the fiesta tango so pre bronze dance, so you leave out all skaters who are bronze and above. The pairs level is that of silver and below so the number of skaters being left out is sizable. So while Basic skills an an excellent way to move through the levels it is the precursor to being a "competitive" skater. When you are done with the levels you move onto the "standard track" if you are a youngster or an adult, and if you are an adult you can opt to skate on the adult track or the masters track. Changes have been made to the moves Int-Sr with an adult standard and a masters passing average. So adult skaters can continue on through the higher level moves tests.
So why do we need an adult grand prix?
So they did decide at the September meeting. That's good to know.
Exactly. Thank you.
To be fair though, until recent years we have always known well in advance where the next year's event would be. Chicago knew 1.5 years ahead of time. We even had time to buy ad space in the 2006 Dallas ANs program for the 2007 Chicago ANs. And if you look at previous programs, the same things happened . . .
. . . and yes, agreed. Even though we don't know as long in advance as we have in the past, I personally am not worried that any of the four locations in question can pull it off.
I'm not worried either. Even with the semi-fail that was Bloomington, we the skaters made it as awesome as we could while we were there. As the icerinque said, everything's under control.
I understand the worry, but I want to point out that one year not too recently the location for Adult Nationals in Canada was announced in January when the event was in early April.
You adult skaters in the US have it pretty darn good most of the time. We are jealous
The fact that multiple 'deadlines' came and went and that quite a few wondered about the dramatic void of information wasn't exactly stirring up the pot. Pointing this out did seem to coax the information out into the general domain here that the selection has indeed been made, and we'll all look forward to seeing the location posted next week. Mission accomplished.
As far as the Grand Prix concept is concerned, some skaters compete in one, two, or three local competitions warming up to AN, anyway. The competitions are already in place so they don't need to be created. All we need is to assign point values to the competitors results, just as it's laid out in the Basic Skills competition series and viola, we have an Adult Grand Prix and something else that's fun to do. Plus it will attract more adults to local competitions which is a win win for everyone. It does create an organized and fun way to make a full season.
They tried this with Juv-Nov level skaters in Colorado, they couldn't be skaters who had advanced past regionals, the competitions had to sign up to be a part of it and the skaters got point and could win prizes, etc. The idea was to encourage more participation in local events. It lasted about 2 years... It is very difficult to keep track of and you have to have a lot of consistency in events then there were the ties and several other issues. It seemed like a good idea but it faded away...
You're totally missing the point. The news that you left in a previous post that a club, indeed, has already been selected for AN was new news to all of us. What the skaters/members don't appreciate is being left in the dark for so long. Unless this thread was launched, we still wouldn't have known that a club was already selected. Anyway, I'm confident now that you will get on next week and let us all know where AN is going to be.
We knew the dates of ANs when Sectionals was announced, which was weeks ago. I don't see how that's keeping us in the dark. We knew that it was happening and when it was happening. You act like USFS is keeping this a big secret to piss us all off, which can't be further from the truth.
So . . . you still don't know where it's going to be. Just that it's going to be. That's no different than what you knew last week. But pat yourself on the back if you need to.
I'm going regardless, no matter where it is, so the location is irrelevant in the end. We all tend to spend our time in the rink anyway!
The location is very important to me, so I am anxiously awaiting the news - especially since I can't go to Sectionals this year.
It's also important to a lot of other folks, so we can determine how much airfare will be and how much travel time to plan on. Some may need more time if they are traveling from a long distance and changing time zones.
Yes, the main concern is not the dates, but rather location. As mentioned above there are many skaters who need to budget in advance for this, especially in this economy, and would like to know the location, airfare, whether the location will fit in with other family vacation plans ect...
Anyway, it's a non issue now, since we've been already told that a club has already been awarded AN, and the location will be posted this week:
She said it will VERY LIKELY be posted this week....not ABSOLUTELY WILL be posted. I just want to make sure that's pointed out just in case for whatever reason it can't be announced this week.

Town Forced to Remove Cross From Logo
City leaders in Steubenville, Ohio have decided to change their official logo after the Freedom From Religion Foundation threatened to sue because the emblem included a silhouette of a cross atop the Franciscan University chapel.
Law Director Gary Repella announced the city's decision after a closed door meeting – deciding to change the logo because they could not afford a potential lawsuit. The city reverted to a previous logo that did not include the offending items.
"I researched current case law and found a lot of case laws that do not allow religious symbols in government symbols," Repella said in comments reported by the Herald-Star.
But officials at Franciscan University of Steubenville told Fox News the chapel and cross were included in the logo because the school is one of the top employers in the area and one of the most recognized entities in the city.
"We were included in the city's logo not because of our faith, but rather our role in the community," said Michael Hernon, the university's vice president of advancement. "This out of town and out of touch group decided that they wanted to purge all reference to religion from the public life."
The group is called the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a Wisconsin-based organization of so-called "free-thinkers" including agnostics and atheists.
They notified city officials of their objections to the logo on behalf of a citizen who was allegedly offended by the inclusion of the cross and chapel.
"We're pleased with the expeditious response," FFRF co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor said in a statement. "It's so clear why a city cannot and should not send a message that it has a Christian orientation, thereby making Christian residents favored insiders, and non-Christians, including nonbelievers, outsiders."
Gaylor said government cannot pick sides on religion.
"All citizens, whether Christian, Jewish, atheist or agnostic, Muslim, etc. – must be welcomed as full participants, and the only way to do that is to keep religion out of government."
But Hernon said Freedom From Religion Foundation is nothing more than an out of town bully.
"This is a really troubling affair – that in a small place like Steubenville they can come in and try to bully and remove anything that would be close to referencing god," Hernon told Fox News. "This is awful."
Hernon said he doesn't understand why a Wisconsin group would be concerned about what happens in an Ohio city.
"This is an amazing attempt by a small group of people to try to eradicate God and any reference to religion from our country," he said.
And the Freedom From Religion Foundation may have picked on the wrong city – and the wrong Catholic university.
"We're passionately Catholic," Hernon said. "We're not about to hide our crosses or be ashamed of our faith-based identity. This is something that we need to speak up about and say enough is enough."
Hernon said it's time for people of faith to draw a line in the sand.
But an attorney with the organization said the inclusion of the crosses is unconstitutional.
"Any claims of historical or cultural significance to the Latin cross on the Steubenville City logo do not relieve the City of its constitutional obligations," FFRF staff attorney Patrick Elliott wrote in a letter to Mayor Domenick Mucci. "While we understand that Franciscan University is a part of the City, the City may not depict the University chapel and cross because to do so places the City's imprimatur behind Christianity."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Very nice! Love the attitude of that car. It begs to be run hard. Definitely an "E" ticket.
Good show!
Thx for posting the picts. The cooling problem has been a challenge. roger
|4 Jaw Chuck
Craig was nice enough to send me some pics of the car, she's a beaut.
Did I ever mention that I am a big time Cougar fan?
Even factory valve covers! Sniff...brings a tear to my eye...sniff. Notice the correct Ford Blue on the engine! Oh ya baby...thats what I'm talkin bout!
Great stuff Craig, thats is certainly a mans car to muscle around Willow Springs!
Heating problem resolved!!
Looks like the problem is resolved and a great weekend at the track!!! Thank you for the help!! Here are few parts of messages I received.
"...It was colder than in Sept., however, oil temp hit 260 in the peak of action and water remained at 220 without fan and on ram air alone..."
and especially for 4-Jaw:
"...Wish I could give 4JAW a palpitation with a view of the start of the Flag race when 42 cars entered Turn One 3 & 4 wide !"
thx again, r
|4 Jaw Chuck
Is this a SBF? Cleveland? What kind of heads? I heard of some problems with the early Ford Motorsport aluminum heads before?
Sounds like a cool car your running and Willow Springs has got to be my favorite track. Too bad I'll probably only get to drive it playing Nascar on the computer. Hmmm I wonder if I can download a early Cougar car mod for the game.
A few more ideas, have you checked the advance timing to make sure it's working, the old Ford style distributors with a set of Mr. Gasket advance springs would sometimes stick advanced if the stop was set too far. Make sure they are free and loose and don't stick with the springs off. No worries if your electronic.
Keep us up to date.
P.S. Some in car video of a sliding Vintage TransAm Cougar coming through the corkscrew hard on the gas just might give me a heart attack.
Update to cooling issue!
I received a call last night from the owner, George, about the status of the track car we have been discussing. George is at Willowsprings Calif. for a meet this weekend with expected ambient temperature highs of 60 degrees. This should give us a final test. This is what we know to date.
The car has been on the dyno twice since my last entry. The radiator cap in the past had been replaced with a 16# but now is a 24#, thank you 4-Jaw. Also, the engine builder put a hose from the top of the thermostat gooseneck back into the engine and sorry, I do not know exactly where. It is supposed to reduce or eliminate cavitations. Also, for information, the 302 is putting 360 hp to the rear wheels.
The first dyno run improved the situation by allowing the engine to run at higher rpms (before remember it topped out at 4500 rpms) and ran longer but eventually started the same problem.
George was told Felpro had re-engineered the Ford head gasket to address passenger side coolant flow problems. So, a new head gasket was installed, right side only, and the car ran ok (6500 rpm range) on the dyno. So now at Willowsprings, we shall see.
I asked specifically to find out, part number, about this new head gasket design Felpro has engineered. George was told that there was no new part number. This is because Felpros new design will be part of all new stock thereby we will all get the new design after the old stuff is sold off the shelves.
What do you think? Thx, r
Thx gang for responding. The owner is chasing the issues presented on this thread.
4 Jaw -
I got a message from the owner "...dropped down to 16# since couldn't find 24#" and is now looking for another race cap. Also, the car has a new cross flow radiator. The new radiator replaced the previous cross flow as the theory was down to a clogged radiator.
I got your e-mail, replied thru HotRodders and forwarded on to the cars owner. They are sure the timing is correct but the builder is checking the car again.
Also, we sure hope prohibition does not return until this issue is addressed! Could you pass that bottle...
Thx again and I will report back the progress or new problem signatures, r
|4 Jaw Chuck
|2Wilds right, the VW Scirocco ones work well too but are getting hard to find. A bigger rad never hurt anybody! If your still using the original downflow rad you need a cross flow upgrade.
If I get a chance Ill go out next weekend and take a pic of the radiator Im speaking of, My cousin bought the car from me and he has installed a 12.0:1 351C (with Iron 4v heads) with no cooling problems..
|4 Jaw Chuck
I just thought of another reason why this might be part of your problem RAW, if the cap releases all the pressure not only do you lose half the cooling capacity and efficiency from the pressurization of the system but the areas that are really hot turn the coolant instantly to steam, certainly would explain the cracked iron your seeing. We never had this problem with the rotary's because there's no head to crack, it just wipes out the rotor seals after 10 races and flakes off a chunk which wipes out the rotor and cases too.
Yeah, I really loved that one.
|I had a 68 cougar, I used a alumin radiator out of a newer Chyrsler mini van, it's really wide and some modifications will be made to fit it in there, but It cured my cooling problems and Id think itd cure yours also...
Thank you all for taking the time to help. This problem has been a real stinker. I will pass along and report back how it is finally resolved.
4 Jaw,
I think the radiator cap is going to get a real close scrutiny!!!! I'm sure it was changed once but not with the attention you detailed.
Thank you, r
Possible water pump cavitation?
It still sound like low coolant problem because of the erratic and rapid temp fluctuations. Possible air pockets in the cooling system.
You have a new block, but what about cracked heads? The small amount of white foam may be ok, but with significant loss of coolant (1 Gal) that seems to be problem that needs to be addressed a little more closely.
Do you have access to an infrared emission tester to put in the radiator? How about a block tester kit to see if the test fluid changes color.
|4 Jaw Chuck
What pressure cap are you running? Measure the distance down to the cap sealing surface in the rad to make sure it is parallel to the top, I've seen a couple where this surface was warped and caused the cap to release into the overflow and not completely close after the initial opening. I found it by putting a rubber gasket cut out of sheet rubber under the cap which effectively raised the pressure where it would release and added a softer seal.
The cap itself needs at least 0.050" compression on the rubber seal ring or it will release early, any compression grooving caused by set on this ring reduces the pressure it will release at. I sounds like you have the rad puke it's guts into the overflow and then suck it back in and the cap is not closing to keep the system sealed. If the seal area in the rad is not parallel it will open and not close properly and you end up with a pulsing pressure release which explains your temp swings.
When it happened to me it was a bugger to diagnose since a new cap didn't solve the problem even though running with the hood off the car allowed a passenger to witness the reservoir alternate between full and empty. Of course this only happened at race loads and rpm. I recommend at least a 16 pounder on your system, I ran a 24 pound cap to maintain good pressure in the system and prevent the dump to reservoir that we were having (a rotary engine turning at 8500 can generate 20 pounds easily just in coolant flow pressure). I would rather overpressure the system than have it puke during a yellow flag and then be out of coolant when the green drops again. Race rpm subjects the rad and coolant system to very high pressures and rads when new can handle 50 psi and higher before they blow out, usually it's the rad hose that goes first anyway. Seal it up tight and then try it under load and see if it solves your problem.
Hope this helps.
|Collapsed lower hose or warped manifold or bad t- stat or slipping belt or wrong pulley ratio. These are all I can think of right now.

Equality Now and the Service Women's Action Network mount campaign calling on U.S. authorities to reform the military justice system in cases of sexual assault
New York, NY – Yesterday, human rights organization Equality Now and the Service Women's Action Network (SWAN) launched a campaign calling on the U.S. government to better prevent sexual assault of military service women and men and improve survivors' access to the justice and social services they rarely receive. The groups also called for a lowering of the unnecessarily high evidentiary burden needed to qualify for the health benefits they need to recover from these assaults. The campaign highlights the case of Ruth Moore, who was raped by her supervisor soon after joining the Navy in 1987. Procedure at the time dictated that criminal reports should be filed with command – in this case her rapist – so Ruth used an alternate option and told the base chaplain. Rather than receiving help, however, she was raped again by her supervisor in retaliation for reporting the crime. Ruth's rapist was never charged or disciplined, and she was discharged from the Navy soon thereafter with a misdiagnosis of 'borderline personality disorder'. As a result, Ruth suffers from PTSD and other health issues, but was repeatedly denied disability benefits by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). She fought tirelessly to obtain these benefits, and in 2010, more than 20 years after her assault, the VA finally acknowledged that she had been raped and was entitled to disability.
Approximately 19,000 sexual assaults occur in the military each year and as few as 1 out of every 100 sexual assaults results in the conviction of the perpetrator. Though procedures have changed somewhat, service women and men are still required to report sexual assaults within their chain of command, rather than through an independent party. This often leads to conflicts of interest and abuses of power as both the victim and perpetrator may be under the same officer's command. Commanders also have an incentive to downplay such assaults as they reflect poorly on the unit. And, though sexual assault and harassment cause the same rates of PTSD in women veterans as combat does in men, from 2008-2010 only 32% of PTSD claims related to sexual assault are approved by the VA, while 54% of overall PTSD claims are approved.
As Ruth testified at a July 2012 hearing of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, "[i]n hindsight, it was easier for the military to get rid of me, than admit to a rape…This process took me 23 years to resolve, and I am one of the fortunate ones. It should not be this way. I am asking you, no – pleading with you, to please consider favorably the legislation that would prevent this from happening to others."
In support of Ruth and the thousands of servicewomen like her, Equality Now and SWAN are calling on the Secretary of Defense and the House and Senate Armed Services Committee Chairs to:
- Reform the military justice system so that professional military prosecutors rather than the perpetrator's command are responsible for investigating and prosecuting cases of sexual assault so that commanders do not wield undue and unmonitored influence over these cases.
- Allow military sexual assault survivors to access civil remedies so that like civilians, they can hold their employer – the U.S. military – accountable for sexual harassment and assault.
The campaign also calls on the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the House and Senate Committee of Veterans' Affairs Chairs to:
- Provide survivors suffering from PTSD stemming from their sexual assault with the services they need to recover from their trauma by lowering the unnecessarily high evidentiary burden they face in order to prove their assault and access disability benefits.
"Despite the Pentagon's continuous assertions of a zero tolerance policy of sexual assault in the military, past and recent events provide strong evidence to the contrary. Equality Now and SWAN implore the government to move past ineffectual rhetoric and take action to stop the epidemic," stated Lauren Hersh, NY Office Director of Equality Now.

Chinese President Hu Jintao boasted at an Asian forum that his nation has made dramatic changes as a result of the of the efforts of Deng Xiaoping to embark "on the historic journey of reform and opening-up" to the world. He asserted his nation "has successfully made the historic transition from a highly centralized planned economy to a robust socialist market economy and from a closed and semi-closed country to a country that is wide open to the outside world." He claimed the nation's poor rural population has declined from about 250 milliion to about 25 milliion.
Hu Jintao promised to make the "Chinese society more vibrant" and admitted his nation "still has a long way to go before it can basically achieve the modernization and bring aboutprosperity to all of its people."
There is no question the Chinese people have more freedom in their economic and social lives than had existed under the Mao tse-tung leadership of the past. The Olympics would be a wonderful opportunity for the Chinese government to demonstrate to the world that it is proceeding on the modern long march towards democracy by releasing dissidents from jail and linitiating talks with the Dalai Lama.

Relationship Status: It's Complicated
Dear Lennie: I made friends with an older man (I'm 30, he's 45) who recently ended an 8 yr relationship. He flirts, sexts, and emails daily, but doesn't want to do anything physical. We have an amazing connection and spend lots of time together, but he says he's not ready for a relationship. I don't want to give up on having him in my life, but he is in my heart and mind and taking up lots of my energy. Should I stay friends until he is ready for more?
Dear Complicated, when a 45 year old man gets out of an 8-year relationship, he generally wants to be on his own for a while (read 2-3 years). Recently single, older men like to play the field and while he may flirt and show interest in you, he clearly does not want to play you, which means he respects you (a good thing). Don't give him a reason not to respect you by making yourself so available. At his age he may not want to have children or get married and he may look at a 30-year-old woman as someone who wants a family, so he could be protecting himself and protecting you from getting hurt. You may wait a very long time for him to be ready for a relationship, and there are no guarantees he'll choose you. I say be friends, but go on dates with other men and play the field yourself. If it happens with him, hooray! But, even if it does, I'd be very aware of addressing the age difference and desires to have/not have a family, marriage, etc early on so that you don't get your heart broken. Don't forget to think about the age difference later on, when you're 45 and he's 60.

The branded cartridges work better than local cartridges. The brand product means people like it and have positive reviews about it. There are other ways of reducing the cost. You can purchase a cartridge directly from website. The product price is more on local store. You can save ink to manage the cost. You can reduce the font size, bold etc.

ATHENS, Ga. -- Playing side by side at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, juniors Mikelis Libietis and Hunter Reese could not get the breaks they needed Wednesday to start the NCAA Singles Championships.
Libietis won the first set in a tiebreaker but could not break his opponent's serve over the final two sets, losing to Baylor's Diego Galeano 6-7 (3), 7-5, 6-3 in a match that lasted nearly three hours.
Reese took the court nearly two hours later and lost to No. 2-seeded Marcos Giron 6-1, 6-1 in a rematch from the fall. He had multiple break points in Giron's early service games, but the UCLA senior dug his way out of trouble and took control on the scoreboard.
The two Vols now turn their attention to the doubles tournament, which starts Thursday. Libietis and Reese, seeded No. 2, face 47th-ranked Ravi Patel and Robin Goodman in the opening round.
The times will be released later today.
Libietis' match again Galeano started out strong. Both players avoided break points, and Libietis held serve at 5-6 to force a tiebreaker. After trailing early, Libietis reeled off the last four points to take the tiebreaker and the opening set 7-6 (3).
Similar play continued in the second set, but Libietis double faulted twice at 5-5 to give Galeano the lead. Galeano served out the set and broke Libietis serve at 2-2 in the third set. He managed to retain his lead for the rest of the match.
The first meeting this season between Reese and Giron had been a close one. Giron won the matchup 7-6 (3), 6-3 at the USTA/ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships in the consolation semifinals. The two had also faced in college at the 2013 ITA National Team Indoor Championships, which resulted in a straight-set win for Giron.
Libietis ends the year with a 23-15 record in singles, and Reese is 25-10.
In doubles, the Vols are looking for another strong performance in a college major. They won the ITA All-American and reached the finals of the USTA/ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships during the fall. They are 31-5.


text: Hi. I was wondering about this because I wanted to make a tutorial on youtube about using VPNs to play region-locked games but I had a thought that maybe it is illegal. Do you guys know if it is illegal or not? The region-locked games are all free online games. I've heard conflicting things about it.

Hi everyone! I'm in the midst of making a Boba bucket from scratch and had a few questions as I got further into it.
Are the "Inner Layer" and "outer layer" both circular or do they follow the cheekbone line on the bottom of the template?
Second question: Is the "outer layer" composed of just the mandibles and brow or is it a full second layer?
Finally: If the inner and outer layer both overlap and join in the rear of the helmet, how do you get it smooth and put the keyhole slots in?
Thanks everyone for your help.

You are receiving training so I expect you are being told how to do it. What you need is to develop trigger control. Dry firing is a good way to gain familiarity with the gun/trigger and ultimately trigger control. The more practice you get with the trigger the better.
Remove the magazine and make certain the chamber is empty. Triple check to insure it is empty. Remove all ammunition from the room you are going to dry fire in. Then simply pull the slide back to cock it then aim at a target and practice your squeeze re cock and do it again many times. After you feel a bit more confident than you are now try laying a penny across the slide or sight and try not to have it fall off when you fire (dry/no ammo) keep that up till you can squeeze it off without disturbing the aim or losing the penny.
Good luck and have fun in the process.

Not PHX. Philly had the 10th pick. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
Insert ANY team (even Hemofarm) in the 10th spot and it still ain't gonna happen.
I don't want to trade Josh Smith.
I fully expect that pick to be the sleeper in the draft and then we would be playing the what if game for as long as we played the what if we had not chosen darko game.
Summer League should be awesome with no first round pick.
So what, Rodney stuckey definitely can fill rookie spot...
All about one guy
IF he's still here that is. He's on his way to be the first rookie ever to become a free agent.
Word out of the Piston HQ press is that 38th pick will make us forget all about this.
Brandon Jennings could use the reps.
GRIII otherwise known and Big Little Dog....might be available.....after all the last two Wolverines drafted were just named today to the 2014 All Rookie team, so never know what to get out of him As you know Joe ignored drafting all instate collegiate players after Matteen flamed out. Maybe SVG takes a chance if GRIII is still on the board. I haven't looked at any mock draft lists lately but figure somebody will probably take Mitch by then.
I think GRIII will be gone in the first round. He had some impressive athleticism numbers at the combine that probably boosted his draft stock. He is currently #22 on nbadraft.net. They have Mitch going to us at 38!

Prescriptives False Eyelashes MascaraWednesday, November 07, 2007
"The voluptuous formula of False Eyelashes Plush Mascara creates incredible volume, length, density and curl for a smooth, velvety finish. A special brush perfects application. Conditioners keep lashes feeling healthy and smooth."
While I don't know about my lashes feeling healthy and smooth (or the brush perfecting application for that matter, I was all thumbs putting this one on), I can definitely agree with the incredible volume, length and density as well as staying power of the curl I acheived with this mascara.
This mascara really is a Holy Grail Mascara! Here's a quick run down on how it performed for me:
1. I want to look *almost* like I have on false eyelashes, but not quite. I want it all, length, fullness and I want my mascara to help my lashes hold the curl I put there.
These pics simply speak for themselves. You can see that my lashes were thicker, longer and definitely plush! The curl stayed all day long and the results were well worth the effort.
2. I want my mascara to be easy to remove.
This mascara was very easy to remove with just a few swipes of eye makeup remover.
3. The mascara should not be flaky.
Despite even getting sand in my eye yesterday (with all of the resultant rubbing, itching and tearing) I had no flaking or smearing of this mascara, it still looked absolutely perfect!
4. It should be easy to apply
I think I was having a bit of an off day yesterday when I was applying this mascara. It wasn't clumpy exactly, but my lashes were sticking together a bit. A few strokes of my metal eyelash comb fixed all of the issues though. Only 1 coat of this mascara was needed for these great results!
5. It should be cheap and from the drugstore.
While not exactly cheap, the Prescriptives counter is pretty easy to find Nationwide and I think this mascara is well worth the investment.
6. It shouldn't be clumpy.
See #4
This mascara is really fantastic! Prescriptives definitely delivered what they promised and this mascara is not only well worth the money, time and effort but the results I got with the mascara and the staying power of the mascara (despite all of my best efforts to mess it up) make it truly Holy Grail Product Worthy!

WOW! Your lashes look fantabulous. I can't wait to try this.ReplyDelete
BTW, have you tried Plushlash from MAC? It's my current new fave (I have wimpy, wimpy, lashes so I need a *lot* of help)
Plush Lash is tomorrow! :D That one is also fantabulash! I have so many great mascaras in my drawer right now, I have a really hard time picking one each morning!ReplyDelete
I think your lashes look the best with this mascara so far! Amazing! I want to go out and get this now. I have been obsessing over my lashes lately, so this series has been great. I've really enjoyed it. Have you considered doing a review on the Talika eyelash gel (you can buy at Sephora, I believe) that claims it will make your eyelashes grow out thicker/longer? Not sure I believe the claims, but I'd love to see an honest review on it.ReplyDelete
I really love this Prescriptives mascara on you much better than the Plushlash you posted today.ReplyDelete
I love your mascara series and I can't wait to see more! I have really short and thin lashes so I'm looking for all the help I can get. :)
I love comments! Please ask away, provide info on how you liked something, etc. Note that spam, comments with random links (which I count as spam), anything not in english (again, spam) and comments that are completely unrelated to anything will all be deleted.
