BYU's Ogletree: "We are ready to have an occasion to rise to."
The Salt Lake Tribune
Published: August 30, 2012 11:34AM
Updated: August 30, 2012 11:52AM
Exactly eight months ago today, BYU rallied late to knock off Tulsa 24-21 in the Armed Forces Bowl. Exactly four weeks ago today, the Cougars opened preseason camp. It has been a long, hot month, but the opener against Washington State (8:15 p.m. MDT, ESPN) is finally here.
My advance of the game, which can be found here, focused on its importance.
Every game is huge for the independent Cougars, but this is one of the six on the schedule that will define BYU's season.
There's plenty of intrigue, not the least of which is WSU coach Mike Leach's "return" to Provo with his Air Raid offense. If WSU gets up early and BYU is forced to match it throw-for-throw, we might be at LaVell Edwards Stadium until well past midnight.
We will see.
Be sure to follow our coverage at sltrib.com/Cougars and on Twitter at @drewjay
I've heard from dozens of you over the years that you enjoy the articles, but can't stand reading the comments because of all the negativity. Well, change is on the way, as the Tribune's Scott Sherman details here.
The college football world's focus will clearly be on Provo tonight, and not by accident, according to BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall. BYU's players are pumped to be seen on national television, and I am sure WSU's players are, too.
"It makes it fun. It makes it fun for us. It makes it fun for those of us who are from different parts of the country, all our family and friends can watch it," said BYU linebacker Brandon Ogletree. "Then, a lot of college football teams around the country are watching. So it is really cool, just knowing there will be a lot of eyes on us. Hopefully we will do well."
Said BYU running back Mike Alisa: "It's awesome, and being a Thursday game, the whole nation sees it because no one else is playing. So across the nation everyone will be watching ESPN and be watching BYU and Washington State play on Thursday night."
Speaking of Ogletree, he was once recruited by Mike Leach when Leach was the head coach at Texas Tech. Ogletree is from McKinney, Texas, near Dallas.
"I am not good friends with him, but yeah. I went out on a recruiting visit to Texas Tech. That was back when Bobby Knight was there. They had Bobby Knight talk to us, and everything. So it was a lot of fun. We watched a basketball game. It was a cool place -- cool atmosphere. I loved it," Ogletree said. "I have a ton of respect for him. He's always had a top-ranked [offense] where ever he has been. It is a huge challenge for us. We are ready to have an occasion to rise to, and I think we will do well."
Can BYU handle Washington State's offense and its excellent receivers such as Gabe Marks and Marquess Wilson? That's what it should come down to. Should be interesting.

The trade speculation surrounding Denver quarterback Jay Cutler will serve as manna for fans in many NFL cities — not to mention talk radio hosts, sportswriters and (most important) bloggers.
This is what could be considered a quiet period of the offseason. The first phase of free agency is finished and the draft isn't until the weekend of April 25. So what better time to speculate on the availability of a 25-year-old quarterback who could prove to be the long-term answer for a team looking for stability at the starting spot?
Vikings fans are far from the only group that have pounced on the Cutler discussion. A co-worker who just returned from Tampa said the sports radio station in that city was abuzz with talk of Cutler ending up with the Buccaneers. And this comes during spring training in a city where the Major League team went to the World Series last season.
Our NFL writer, Mark Craig, posted an item on his blog this afternoon on the Lions' potential pursuit of Cutler and we wrote last night that the Denver Post speculated Cutler's top choices might be Tennessee and Chicago. Alex Marvez has weighed in on the situation and has a list of six potential landing spots for Cutler. Interestingly, Marvez does not include the Vikings.
However, we're guessing there will be another list very soon that will have Minnesota front and center. Just give it some time.

What do you think about the wii U, Title says it X3

I just want to hear what people thing about the new upcoming wii U shown at E3. I think the best feature of it would half to be the controller with the screen in it so in case people want to watch tv you can still play your games with out turning off the system. But i do find that controller's are going to be Pricey only for the fact that the screen is lcd/touch screen. so i dont think there going to be like the wii controlers And thats another thing you cant go around tossing the controller for that Part there the screen in side but over all it looks good to play from what i have seen so far.

I have high hopes for it. It looks nice, and people who have actually demo'd it have said really good things. And the thing about the controller is that there is planned to be only one per console, which will keep people from needing to go out and buy others. The main point of the console is to be a more personal experience (hence the "U" part). Therefore, single player gaming will be pretty awesome (hopefully). Plus, with the promised online thing they're planning, online gaming should be fine with the one controller. Local multiplayer is the only thing that the controller doesn't really support as much. However, they promise that local multiplayer will still be unique and fun, since the Wii U will also support Wiimotes and 3DS's.

No method: 'stupid_title' found for 'nil:NilClass`
Type: Coder
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Looks like another gimmicky POS like the Wii. I bought a Wii, bought one game, stopped playing it. It has a weak library and now a Zelda has been released that I will not buy. This is a big deal for me; I love Zelda and have bought every single release to date, but no longer. I hate the wand for most games and I think the new touch pad concept is a load of bull. I have a feeling that Nintendo has ridden its popularity wave as long as it can (sales numbers have dropped drastically over the past year or more). Also, the Wii worked because it was affordable for non-hardcore gamers. The U is expensive and I don't think it will do well.

I love the U part; maybe this means loads of good RPGs that last longer than a few hours to play around with the wiimote gimmick.
Although I am in agreement with BigED on how the console will do in the market, which I hope happens. Sure they're trying to be different, but until I can move on my own to make my character move, I don't need dodgy sensors and a remote-like controller that's not exactly comfortable to hold for extended periods of time. Not to mention the batteries...oh how I hate having to use batteries.
What I mean to say it...I love controllers, and the only reason they should change them is if it becomes VR.

You say it has a weak library, and yet I have over twenty games for it, most of which have received amazing reviews (Xenoblade, anyone?). I think you're just looking at the loads of shit companies throw at it to make it look bad.
And what's your deal with Zelda, Ed? Skyward Sword received, what, nothing but 10s already? Not to mention it's been called the best Zelda game thus far, which is no easy feat.
Also, the Wii U hasn't even been priced yet...
As for Nintendo's "popularity wave," apparently Skyward Sword has become the #1 pre-ordered game of Best Buy, as well as making the top 3 or so in pre-orders elsewhere. If that tells you anything...
Lastly, the thing about the touchscreen...look at the DS. It sold more than every current gen console combined. So there's a reason they think the concept might do well.
Sorry if I'm ranting, and you may label me as a "fanboy" for speaking my mind, but I just felt that some of the argument was invalid and should be rebutted. But I'm all ears if I'm wrong about something...

I'm kinda' split on it at the moment. I thought the Wii was a good concept, but the games they released weren't really up to expectations. The motion controls were a joke (Before Motion+, which wasn't so great, either), usually requiring one or two movements throughout the entire game, which could be done with one or two button presses anyway.
The Wii U controllers look uncomfortable, I dislike touch screens, and I think implementing them into a controller the way they have is a bad idea. I did enjoy some things about the Wii, and I'll definitely buy it when it comes out, but it'll probably suck, like most new things.
Pretty much: It'll most likely be bad, but I'm hoping it's good.
I hope Skyward Sword doesn't mess up the way Twilight Princess did, too. I thought Twilight Princess was a good game, but that's only if I'm taking out the whole "Wolf Link" thing. Bad Idea, poor execution, terrible controls, boring as Hell, I could go on, but nobody wants that, so I'll stop now.
I will say that, out of the games for the wii that I consider good... there are very few that actually use the motion controls.
BUT, RE4 Wii is the best version of the game, straight up. It was probably the best use of the wii controls period.
(Dragon Quest Swords was also fun and goofy)
Definitely. RE4 was best on the Wii, and it was awesome on Gamecube and PS2 as well DQ Swords was also pretty fun, and it actually somewhat made use of it's controls. Never actually played Chocobo's Dungeon, so I can't say anything on that one though.

@Ed: Seconded everything J said. Seems like you're just paying attention
to all the shovelware than the actual good games. There's ton out there, man.
The only thing I hated about the Wii was the fact I had to use batteries with it.
But then again, you have to batteries with the Xbox 360 controller too, so...yeah.
Other than that, I love the Wii.
As for the Wii U, I'm not all too interested at the moment. It doesn't look very appealing,
but neither did the 3DS when I saw it at last years' E3. Now it's my most wanted system.
So yeah, only time will tell how the system pans out.

I don't really care much for the console itself, I just like going "WEEOO" over and over again just to make friendly fun of it. I think the general idea is awesome, but the name is kind of bad. If I can make any kind of ridiculous noise out of a name because of my tourettes, the name's dumb. Period.
I like that you can wirelessly play your Wii games on it, though. Not sure who came up with that, but it's ingenious so that makes it awesome.

I don't understand why people say the title says it all, the title is bad, ect. Who cares about the name!
And anyway, according to what I saw on E3 it's innovative and seems to have some really interesting concepts, like the controllers with screens.
I am planning to buy it at this point, as there are some games I know I'm going to want for it.
That said, it could also end up failing, only time can tell us, but I think the Wii U at least deserves a chance.
As well, the Wii did really well. Lot's of good titles, recently Skyward sword which has already received a lot of praise. So I'm willing to accept Nintendo "still has it" as a Video Game company.

And what's your deal with Zelda, Ed? Skyward Sword received, what, nothing but 10s already? Not to mention it's been called the best Zelda game thus far, which is no easy feat.
Sure it is, any major release is always "best ever" and it's "best incarnation" or "best actor to portray this character" or such. Media always over hypes something as the best thing ever, even if it clearly isn't. Not saying Skyward Sword isn't good (kinda medicore and dissapointing though, to be honest) but the best? Honestly, I'd say it's like 5th or so?
Twilight Princess is far superior in every single regard. (And half the price) I got so angry at Skyward Sword that I stopped playing it. That rolling the bombs to the caves of the little cretin, I never was able to get through it and I've not played it ever since after dying due to the overcomplicated controls. I really wanted to play this game without 1:1 every single moment I played it because of how unresponsive it was and how much harder it made the game. I really regret buying it and getting the limited Gold edition too. If something tells about it, I played to that cave part and got so angry I've not played it ever since and I got it as gold limited edition when it came out. I think I gave it like, C or D rank, I forget.
Now, WiiU, that's something I'm really hyped about. The touch screen and the controller is probably the most iniuative thing I've seen, I really loved all the game trailers like Rayman Legends and Zombi U. ZombiU and WiiU bundle is already sold out around here (from what I hear, Sweden and England too), which tells about how popular it is.

What I think is.
I think if AAA companies get a hold of it, there could be no stopping them!!!
Just the amount of awesomeness it can do with the controller and such is great. Inventory on fly, and so much more, it hasn't even been scratched, the surface that is.

The Phils beat the Braves 4-2 last night, rallying late to break a 2-2 tie in support of a strong outing by Cole Hamels. It was the second time in two games the offense had put together a late inning rally to get the Phils a win.
The Phillies have won five of their last seven games.
John Mayberry was one of the heroes last night, doubling with one out in the eighth to start the rally that put the Phils ahead. His bloop to the opposite field was far from a magnificent blast ripped into the gap, but the struggling Mayberry can use any hit he can get.
It was also the first extra-base hit of the year for a Phillies pinch-hitter. They are now 4-for-32 on the year with a double, a walk and 16 strikeouts (125/176/156).
The starting pitching continues to shine. Hamels went six strong innings, allowing two runs, one of which scored with the help of some weak defense by the Phils in the bottom of the sixth. The Phillies have 12 quality starts in their last 13 games.
The Phillies are 12-12 on the year after beating the Atlanta Braves 4-2 last night.
Hamels got the start for the Phillies and went six innings, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks. One of the hits went for extra-bases, a solo home run. He struck out six and his ERA for the year rose to 2.78.
The Phillies have won the last four games that he has started and he has not allowed more than two runs or thrown less than six innings in any of them.
Martin Prado singled into center with one out in the bottom of the first. Prado stole second before Hamels struck Freddie Freeman out swinging 3-2 for the second out. Brian McCann got ahead of Hamels 3-0 before flying to left on a 3-1 pitch to end the inning.
Hamels got the first two to start the second before Juan Francisco lined a single to left. Tyler Pastornicky grounded to short for the third out.
He struck out pitcher Brandon Beachy and Michael Bourn in a 1-2-3 third.
He started the fourth up 2-0. Freddie Freeman flew to left for the first out. McCann was next, though, and he blasted a 3-2 pitch out to right, cutting the lead to 2-1. Hamels struck Dan Uggla out swinging for the second out before walking Matt Diaz. Francisco grounded to first to end the inning.
Bourn singled to right with two outs in the fifth. Prado flew to right for the third out.
Freeman led off the sixth with a single on a ball deflected by Wigginton. McCann was next and Hamels walked him on five pitches, putting runners on first and second. Uggla popped up to Wigginton on the infield fly rule before a single by Diaz loaded the bases for Francisco. Francisco flew to left for the second out, deep enough for Freeman to tag and score, tying the game at 2-2. Pastornicky grounded out on a ball handled by Hamels for the third out.
Wigginton should have made the play on the ball hit by Freeman to start the frame, which would have helped Hamels out quite a bit.
Bastardo started the seventh in a tie game and set down the side in order. Righty Jack Wilson hit for the pitcher Beachy and flew to left for the first out before Bastardo struck out Bourn for the second. Prado flew to center for the third.
First time this season that Bastardo has gotten three outs in an appearance. He was pitching on back-to-back days for the second time this year. Got his ratio down to 1.85 for the year.
Qualls started the eighth with a 4-2 lead. Freeman led off and singled to left. McCann was next and Qualls got him to hit into a double-play to clear the bases. Uggla singled to left before Qualls walked Diaz on four pitches. It put men on first and second with two down for Francisco. Qualls got Francisco swinging 2-2 to leave both men stranded.
A day after giving up a two-run, game-tying homer to a left, Qualls again faces a bunch of lefties in the eighth. The lefty Freeman singles before the lefty McCann gets a shot as the tying run and hits the ball real hard, but into a double-play. Qualls strikes out the lefty Francisco at the plate as the go-ahead run.
So it worked. It's going to fail to work a lot of the time, though. Qualls just isn't good enough against lefties to pitch to them day after day with the game on the line. The Phils are going to need to figure something else out, cause if Qualls just stays in there to pitch the whole eighth in tight games every time he's going to put up some ugly numbers. So far for the year, lefties are hitting 333/368/632 against him. The Phillies got lucky in last night's game that when McCann absolutely crushed his ball, it was into a double-play.
Bottom line is Qualls in the eighth worked last night, though. Pitching for the second straight day, he dropped his ERA on the year to 2.89. He has allowed six hits and a walk over 3 1/3 innings in his last four appearances after allowing three hits and two walks over six innings his first six times out.
Papelbon pitched the ninth, also throwing for the second straight day. Lefty Eric Hinske hit for the pitcher Kris Medlen and flew to left for the first out. Wilson fouled out to Ruiz for the second and Bourn struck out swinging to end the game.
Three scoreless innings for the pen in which they allow two hits and a walk while striking out three. Bastardo, Qualls and Papelbon have all thrown two days in a row. Qualls threw 18 pitches in the game, Bastardo 14 and Papelbon ten.
The Phillies lineup against righty Brandon Beachy went (1) Rollins (2) Polanco (3) Victorino (4) Pence (5) Wigginton (6) Nix (7) Ruiz (8) Galvis. Rollins leads off for the fourth straight day. Nix in left with Pierre on the bench. Wigginton at first with Mayberry on the bench. Galvis plays second with the lefty Orr on the bench.
The Phillies went in order in the top of the first and again in the second and third.
Polanco singled with one out in the fourth and went to third on a two-out double by Pence. Wigginton was next and singled into left, plating both runners to put the Phils up 2-0. The ball rolled under the glove and past a charging Prado, the error allowing Wigginton to move all the way up to third base. Nix flew to center to leave him there.
With their lead cut to 2-1, the Phils went in order in the fifth.
Rollins led off the sixth with a single, but was caught stealing for the first out. Polanco and Victorino both grounded out behind him.
It was 2-2 when the Phils hit in the seventh. Pence led off and smashed a ball, but Pastornicky snared it at short for the first out. Wigginton was next and he smashed a ball to deep right center field, but Diaz ran it down on a nice play for the second out. Nix doubled to left, but was left at second when Ruiz flew to right.
The Phils pounded Beachy in the inning, but with nothing to show for it. Another extra-base hit for Nix.
Lefty Jonny Venters started the eighth for Atlanta and got Galvis on a ground ball to short for the first out. Mayberry hit for Bastardo and flared a ball down the first base line that dropped in right, which was a double for the hustling Mayberry. Rollins followed Mayberry and singled into left, putting runners on first and third for Polanco. Polanco struck out swinging at a wild pitch, but the ball got far enough away to allow Mayberry to score from third (3-2) and Rollins, who was on the move, got credit for a stolen base of second. Victorino was next and hit a ball hard up the middle, off of Venters, for a single. It put men on first and third for Pence with two outs and righty Kris Medlen came in to pitch to Pence. Victorino was on the move when Pence hit what would have been a ground ball to second. But there was nobody there. It went into right center field for a single, plating Rollins to make it 4-2 and moving Victorino up to third. Wigginton struck out swinging to leave the runners at the corners.
Huge hit for Mayberry, bloop or no. Nice job running the bases by him to get a double out of it. Victorino on the move turns Pence's ground out to second into an RBI-single.
Pierre hit for Qualls and flew to left to start the ninth. Ruiz and Galvis singled back-to-back, putting runners on first and second for Mayberry. Mayberry hit into a double-play to set the Phillies down.
Mayberry is hitting .216 for the year. He doesn't have a walk in 51 plate appearances. Across both leagues, there are 253 players with at least 50 plate appearances and Colorado's Ramon Hernandez is the only player other than Mayberry without a walk.
Pierre is 1-for-his-last-8.
Rollins was 2-for-4 in the game with a stolen base and a caught stealing. He's 6-for-15 for the year (400/471/467) in his four games hitting leadoff.
Polanco 1-for-4. He's 8-for-his-last-20 with two walks.
Victorino 1-for-4. 5-for-his-last-42 (119/140/286 over 43 plate appearances). For the year, he's hitting 205/256/219 against right-handed pitchers and 303/333/870 against lefties. He has 23 at-bats against lefties for the season and has hit all four of his home runs against lefties.
Pence 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI to raise his average to .264. He's 5-for-his-last-16.
Wigginton 1-for-4 with two RBI, two strikeouts and a non-error misplay at first. He's tied with Ruiz for second on the team in RBI with ten.
Nix 1-for-3 with a double. He leads the team with five. He's the only hitter on the team with an OPS over .838 (he's at .910).
Ruiz was 1-for-4. He's 8-for-his-last-19 with six RBI.
Galvis 1-for-4. He's on-basing .227 for the year. 3-for-his-last-27 with a double and a walk.
Halladay (3-2, 1.95) faces righty Tommy Hanson (3-2, 3.00) tonight. The Phillies have lost the last two games that Halladay has started, although he allowed just five runs in 14 innings in the two outings combined. He still hasn't allowed a home run on the year or gone less than seven innings in a start. Hanson has made five starts on the year and allowed more than two runs in just one of them. Lefties have had success against him in the early going, hitting 273/344/400 against him so far.

The Lucky Ones: Dolores and John Groves-Marshall
Dolores Groves-Marshall says there is no profound reason for her decision to adopt children with disabilities, but that may be because the decision was made so long ago, now it feels obvious.
When she was 12-years-old, Dolores declared to her family, and anybody who would listen, that she was going to adopt children when she grew up.
"People rolled their eyes at me," she said from her home in Killeen, Texas. Now 30, she is mother of three children. She and her husband John, 38, adopted them all from foster care. "They said I was too young to think about stuff like that, and that there was a lot of time before then."
But adoption wasn't just a passing interest. From a young age Dolores developed a keen eye for injustice and looking out for those who cannot look out for themselves. Sometimes bullied and excluded because she is biracial – her mother is white, her father is black, and her step-father is white – she didn't always feel like she fit in at school. Her sister has cerebral palsy, so she was raised to see people with disabilities as different but no different than anybody else. For her, adopting Kimi, Levi, and now another 4-year-old girl, is more than doing her part, it is a fulfillment of a dream.
"It's the most rewarding thing I've ever done," she said of adoption. "I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't do this."
Something That We Do
Dolores can track back the decision to put off giving birth in favor of adoption to an encounter in elementary school. She describes herself as a typical school girl, who had already decided on the names of her future children.
She told another girl the names she had picked out.
"My kids will probably already have names," the girl told Dolores. She said there were many children in the child welfare system who needed homes, and the girl planned to adopt.
"I certainly felt selfish," Dolores said, noting that although she ended up adopting the girl who introduced her to the idea did not.
She kept thinking about it over the years, and she began to realize how many members of her family had been adopted. "I counted them up one time, and it is like 13 or 14 people," Dolores said. "I thought, this is apparently something that we do."
Starting Their Family
By coincidence, all Dolores and John's children will soon be 4 years old.
Kimi came first, placed in April, 2010 at 19 months old. Although she was below the age group Dolores and John had been considering, when the couple saw her picture they fell in love. She turns 5 in September. She was born with genetic syndromes – 22Q 11.2 deletion syndrome and 16p duplication syndrome that render her partially deaf and she is presently nonverbal due to childhood apraxia of speech. She now knows more than 250 signs in American Sign Language.
Next was Levi, who arrived in October, 2012. Dolores said he was a perfectly silent child. He suffered from shaken baby syndrome and had multiple brain surgeries and very little exposure to other people. At first he bit Dolores and struck Kimi, but over time he began talking and now reads and is very affectionate.
"He was considered slow when we got him, now he is considered advanced," Dolores said. Levi turns 4 this month and his adoption was finalized last month.
The latest addition to the family was born premature in Washington State and arrived in June; she is 4 years old. Her adoption has not been finalized so her name cannot be published. She had a stroke as an infant after severe drug and alcohol exposure in the womb, causing her to be born at 24 weeks. She wasn't walking, and used a wheelchair. She started taking her first steps two weeks before she was placed with Dolores and John.
"We left the wheelchair in Washington," Dolores said. "She walks with a limp, but she walks, and continues to walk. No more wheelchair, and we are very proud of her."
Remarkably, the family all looks alike, Dolores said, and strangers at first assume they are the couple's birth children.
"They say if you feed them, they start to look like you," she said.
They Need All of You
During their courtship, Dolores made it clear to John that she intended to adopt. John, who has a 14-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, was immediately on board.
"People think that it's me," Dolores said. "People actually ask me, 'How does your husband deal with your adoptions?' My adoptions? He's the driving force behind this."
For his part, John said he would have brought it up if Dolores hadn't. He is also interested in adopting another child. "I still don't feel like we're done yet, but she says we are," he said. The couple has been together for 10 years, and celebrates their six-year wedding anniversary this month.
Although John is open to the idea of more adoptions, Dolores said she wants to be able to give each child the attention they deserve. "These children need all of you," she said. "These children are going to do something with their lives."
Who is the Lucky One?
Dolores explored several health care careers, including school to become a physician and a nurse. But the idea that stuck came while eavesdropping on a plane ride home from her grandmother's funeral. The woman seated behind her was talking about her job, pediatric occupational therapist.
"I went home and Googled it and then went to grad school for it," she said.
One might think her children got lucky being matched with a mother who is professionally trained to help children navigate disabilities, but that's not how she sees it.
"I got lucky getting them as children," she said. "It teaches you a lot about love, about the world, about doing what is right and defending people, and a lot about yourself. It makes you want to be a better person every day."
'These Are My Own'
Dolores and her children get stares when in public, but that doesn't bother her. And she forgives people's first impressions, partly because the disability of her newest daughter is apparent. That isn't the case with Kimi.
"With Kimi you can't see her disabilities," Dolores said.
"Lots of people are just curious," she said. "I don't mind that at all, I welcome questions." She usually breaks the ice with a joke, and because of her experience in the medical field she explains that Kimi has genetic syndromes that makes her non-verbal, prone to making noises and repetitive hand movements, and often loud and hyper.
That doesn't stop people from making assumptions about Kimi, or Dolores' skill as a parent. She has been chastised, and Kimi has been called a "monster child." Although she can handle those situations, she worries not about her own feelings, but how the world will judge her daughter.
"I had to buck up for her, and teach her to buck up," she said.
On the other hand, Levi has exceeded early expectations about his development, and instead of special education his parents are considering advanced classes.
"I either get called 'Mom of the Year,' or 'Worst Mom of the Year,' depending on which child they are judging me on," she said.
What gets under her skin, however, is when people assume she and John adopted because they could not have "their own." "Actually I can," she said. "And these are my own, they are very much my own."
One to Carry on the Tradition
Now Dolores and John are discussing the prospect of having a biological child.
The decision to adopt was not rushed, but it also did not come because the couple is unable to have biological children.
In fact, Dolores wants to give birth. She wants to have the experience. She also thinks about the future, and about who will be there to look out for his or her three older siblings when she and John grow old. But that isn't the only reason though.
"I want to put one into the world, to teach compassion to, and to carry on the work of helping others," she said.

The Wilderness Society today applauded a hearing of five wilderness and land conservation bills in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Subcommittee on Public Lands and Forests.
Fending off environmental attacks and securing a temporary guarantee for conservation, the U.S. Senate passed an "environmentally friendly" highways bill, according to The Wilderness Society.
The U.S. is exporting more gasoline than we import for the first time since 1949, according to the Energy Information Agency. These record high gasoline exports are undermining congressional calls to turn important conservation lands into oil and gas fields.
A plan for our nation's energy future was rolled out today by Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.).
The Wilderness Society (TWS) recognizes Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-24) for introducing legislation today to help preserve wilderness and rivers in the Los Padres National Forest in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.

Connie L. Colter
Hilltopper Battalion
Western Kentucky University
Connie Colter began her career in the Military Science Department of Western Kentucky University as the departmental secretary for the university is December 1967. Two years later, in January 1970, she was hired as the GS-04 Military Personnel Clerk.
Her duties in the Battalion include the standard Administrative Technician job description. Over the years these have changed during short periods when there were either an Admin Sergeant or another civilian assigned. For the past 12 years, she has been solely responsible for all cadet and cadre administrative requirements.
With the completion of the spring semester 2002, the WKU ROTC program has commissioned 709 Second Lieutenants since she began working in the Battalion. She maintains an alumni database of approximately 1000 former cadets who have been in the ROTC program during her 34 years. Connie is the link that bonds Hilltoppers past, present and future.
Connie says the real joy of being an Admin Tech is the cadets. Getting to know them, see them reach their goals of a degree and a commission, then hearing their "war stories" when they are Lieutenants, Captains, etc, is what keeps her going.
She remembers the day in 1968 when the First Lieutenant (P) John M. Keane reported for duty as an Assistant Professor of Military Science. Since she had just learned all the three letter ranks, the 1LT (P) was confusing! This individual, along with many others, have moved on to distinguished military and civilian careers. She takes great pride in following the careers of "her" cadets through daily emails, phone calls, and visits.
Along with the cadets and alumni that give her a profound sense of purpose in her work and is the continuing nature of the college atmosphere…each school year there is another group of new students. When the new four-year scholarship winners and their parents visit and the parents as when she plans to retire, then insist…four more years…it makes the long hard days all worth while!

WAREHAM (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) – Police in Wareham are searching for a male suspect who reportedly impersonated an officer and assaulted a woman on Saturday night.
Wareham Police told the South Coast Today that a male driving a dark midsized SUV or pickup truck flashed a blue light at the female victim while she was driving on Main Street around 9 p.m.
The female victim pulled over, and the male suspect approached her vehicle and told her that she had a defective tail light. He asked her to produce her driver's license and step outside the vehicle, but the female driver, suspecting he was not an officer, started to drive away.
As she was pulling away, the suspect hit her in the face with a flashlight causing minor injury, police told the newspaper.
The suspect is described as a white male around 40-years-old. He is approximately 5'8" tall with dark hair and a bulging Adam's apple. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a dark shirt under a bright yellow coat.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Wareham Police Department at 508-291-2300.

A total of 30 students in Springfield, Minn., were taken to the hospital with symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning after a suspected gas leak forced the evacuation of the school Thursday morning.
Although firefighters conducted tests in the school building, an exact
cause of the mass illness could not be found. Crews did not find any
elevated gas levels in the structure and professional readings for
carbon monoxide have been negative.
Police were called to the Springfield Public School at 9:30 a.m. on reports of students passing out and throwing up in the auditorium while practicing for a choir concert. A 5th grade student told Fox 9 News his head and stomach hurt, but he started to feel better after he was given oxygen at the hospital.
Two students remained at the Mayo Clinic Health System hospital late Thursday afternoon. Shortly before 8 p.m., Fox 9 News confirmed the last child had been released from the hospital.
All other students, teachers and staff were taken to the Springfield Community Center, where children who didn't need medical attention were released to their parents.
Springfield is about 2 hours southwest of the Twin Cities and just west of Mankato. The school will remain closed on Friday even though the all-clear was given Thursday so that the investigation can continue.
Since the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can mimic other common illnesses, but common signs include:
- A dull headache
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Shortness of breath
- Blurred vision
Anyone who suspects their health may be negatively impacted by elevated carbon monoxide levels should immediately seek fresh air, opening windows and doors on the way out when possible.
Carbon monoxide detectors are also a low-cost way to stay safe by ensuring an alert will sound if gas levels have become hazardous.

Washington - President Barack Obama pronounced himself cautiously "optimistic" Friday evening and said that progress had been made in make-or-break talks on the fiscal crisis, while Senate leaders worked furiously toward a bill to avert the worst of the economic punch from landing Jan. 1.
But after a one-hour meeting with congressional leaders at the White House, Obama warned that if the two sides don't agree on a bill, he will urge the Democrat-controlled Senate to put forward a measure anyway, in essence daring Republicans in the House and Senate to block a floor vote on tax cuts.
"I believe such proposals could pass both houses with a bipartisan majority as long as both leaders will allow it to come to a vote," Obama said. "If members want to vote no, they can."
Senators broke from a long huddle on the Senate floor with Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, to say progress had been made. McConnell, White House aides and Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, were set to continue talks today aiming for a breakthrough as soon as Sunday.
"We're working with the White House, and hopefully we'll come up with something we can recommend to our respective caucuses," McConnell told reporters.
Reid also said there had been some progress but he warned that in assembling a measure that can win support from both parties, "what we come up with (will) be imperfect."
For all the cautious optimism, the president also expressed exasperation that four days before a looming deadline, which lawmakers have known about for a year and a half, the two sides are still far apart.
"This is deja vu all over again," he said. "America wonders why it is that in this time, you can't get stuff done in an organized timetable. The American people are not going to have any patience for a politically self-inflicted wound to our economy."
Obama took steps to keep the pressure on throughout the weekend, scheduling an appearance on Sunday's "Meet the Press" on NBC.
After meeting for just over an hour at the White House, the four congressional leaders - House Speaker John A. Boehner, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, McConnell and Reid - emerged, one by one into the chilly dusk. They avoided reporters and camera operators who were waiting and took swiftly to SUVs to exit the White House grounds.

Special Field Boots from Nike: Now REALLY Customizable
{ 8 comments… read them below or add one }
- February 6, 2012 at 1:40 am
Awww, no novelty camouflages? Just the fake woodland stuff. *sigh*
- February 6, 2012 at 7:26 am
If those last more than a fortnight… well I'll let you choose a forfeit. I'll hapily put £20 on the soles wearing out within that time frame and the seams at the front giving way to form, what I like to call, "Crocodile-Feet!" Stick with Magnum's or Lowa's… preferably the first.
- February 6, 2012 at 9:56 am
Somebody over on another blog site commented on these and said that they were more like high-top tennis shoes than true boots but they would be good in all black for use by LEOs as a patrol boot. He, or somebody else, also said that they were good as tac-boot for things like street patrol and door kicking but not very good for field duty because they lacked good ankle support.
- February 6, 2012 at 3:09 pm
LOL, I'm LEO and k9, so I guess if they have bad ankle support, they are of no use to me. I'll have to stick to Bellville and Bates.
- February 6, 2012 at 5:45 pm
I had a set of SFBs. Utter crap. The one thing I need is ankle support and a comfortable sole. Also, I'm pretty sure this is just Nike attempting to cash in on the Tactic00l crowd and their loose wallets. Imagine trying to walk a set of these past an inspection.
- February 7, 2012 at 5:07 am
Out of all the services i like the most recent Marine Boots.
- May 18, 2012 at 12:37 am
so nice special boots for military
i like that's boots
Look like timberland
so nice
- March 4, 2013 at 1:55 pm
Boots are great. I wore mine on a 4 mile ruck yesterday and loved them.
they don't have a break in period like other military boots. While other soldiers were getting blisters on their feet, I had no problems at all. I recommend them to everyone. And I personally think they would be great for LEOs also as they come in black too.

This Company's Restructured Model Should Deliver
tarun is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Adobe Systems (NASDAQ: ADBE) reported better-than-expected fourth quarter results last Thursday with its new cloud service and subscription model gaining great acceptance. Digital media and digital marketing are the two target businesses of the newly restructured subscription-based model of Adobe.
Into The Numbers
Abode's revenues have beaten analysts' expectations of $1.10 billion and reported at $1.15 billion though flat compared to a year ago period, but sequentially up by 7%. Net income was reported at $222.3 million, or 44 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier profit of $173.7 million, or 35 cents which marks a rise of 28% on the year. Rapid adoption of subscription service is the reason of lower revenue in the short term as fees are collected on a monthly basis instead of a one-time payment upfront.
Dig Deeper
The flat revenue was because of the Creative Cloud subscriptions being collected on a monthly basis rather than upfront. The bright side is the overwhelming response it has received from the third quarter to the fourth quarter with subscriptions rising from 8,000 to 10,000 per week. The switching over to monthly subscriptions was to promote the growth potential of products like 'Creative Suite' and 'Abode Creative Suite' as large upfront fees on them were hindering the organic growth prospects of the company over the years.
The adoption to subscription system should no doubt generate good cash flows, but it does not make other companies like Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) friendlier to Adobe. Digital Media can prove a very lucrative business for Adobe. Facebook and other companies like Groupon and Pandora are trying to reduce the revenue-per-user gap between desktop and mobile users which has tremendous opportunities for Adobe's Digital Marketing business segment.
How to See the Transition Phase?
The new subscription model should reap benefits in the years to come. The customers currently pay $780 upfront in the perpetual model, but in the subscription model they will pay $480 annually. This explains lower current revenues and lower guidance for the coming year, but with a retention ratio of 80% of annual subscribers, the revenues, earnings and cash flows should improve by 2014 or 2015. A compound growth of 15% annually from its creative cloud business would amount to 30% of its revenue about a couple of years from now and thereby adding great value to the firm.
A Look at Others Around
Apple's iPhone 5's sales have been lower than expected and a cannibalization can be noticed as strong iPad Mini sales are affecting larger and more expensive iPads. Apple seems to be stuck in its own business issues at the moment. The company's patent disputes with most of its rivals in its smart phone business have given the Android platform users an edge and the bulk of the market share. Apple is a strong company with diverse product offerings which gives it an edge over competitors and with prices close to $530 this stock is a good buy.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is another company like Apple that has a diverse portfolio of products to offer. The company's high cash reserves of about $66.1 billion with a high dividend payout policy make it an attractive stock for investors. The shares are definitely not trading cheap at current prices relative to their historical earnings growth rate. The company's hold in the PC market and partnership with Nokia to deliver Windows Phone 8 should help it to claim better positioning in the market. Microsoft's future earnings depend a lot on the success of Windows Phone 8 and though the company is not trading cheap, an investor can surely be lured by its payouts and future prospects which seems bright to me.
Final Words
Abode's recent quarterly earnings have shown an uptrend on a sequential basis which means that the new subscription model is gaining acceptance. The negative correlation between stock price movements and guidance for the future shows that the investors have faith in the company and are optimistic that lower earnings in the short-term will make way for better numbers in the long run. Adobe is a very good tech stock to be held by long term investors.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The state Assembly Jobs Committee was planning to vote Friday morning on a bill to pump $25 million in tax money into new start-up companies.
Lawmakers of both parties are behind a measure proposed by New Berlin Republican Mike Kuglitsch.
It would start a new venture capital fund to invest in agriculture, energy, high-tech, and other firms.
At least $50 million would come from the private sector, and the state's share of $25 million is included for now in the proposed state budget.
Business interests say the fund is badly needed. At a recent public hearing, they said many new firms have left Wisconsin because there was not enough venture funding to survive their early stages.
A couple of Democrats say the measure is not enough to guarantee any long-term return on what would be simply a one-time investment.

As far as the plants know it's raining, and they'll never know the difference because Chris Merucci is watering them with recycled rain. He owns Great Lakes Rain Barrel in Livonia, a rain barrel distributor for the company EarthMinded. "Rain barrels can help you reduce the water usage and storm water runoff into the waters and sewers," he said. The water people collect and reuse can help lower their water bill. While the concept is not new, today's rain barrels are from the way they hook up to the gutter and into the side of the barrel to the way the barrels are sealed. "It won't allow harmful sunrays to create stagnation, mold and whatnot. Mosquitoes will not get inside," Merucci explained. He also says they won't overflow thanks to their special design. "The water level will raise up to [the] point where it's full and then ... it won't accept any more in, so it will naturally all go down the downspout."
During a regular rainfall, Merucci says the barrels will fill to capacity in less than an hour. They hold 60 gallons. They're made of a large percentage of recycled materials, and if you want to make your own, they sell do-it-yourself kits.
You can actually go pretty high tech with these barrels. The company also sells a solar powered pump which mounts onto the barrel so people can use a pressurized hose for watering.
To top it all off, the tops of the barrels can double as a planter. They usually sell for $100, but this weekend they're on sale for $65 plus tax Saturday at Ecofest in Farmington Hills and Sunday at Summer in the Village in Lathrop Village.

WSJ's Alexandra Cheney Joins Variety
The folks at Variety want everyone in LA to know that incoming senior film reporter Alexandra Cheney knows how to surf. Don't laugh; this skill could come in handy in the new year whenever she works on a feature involving one or more surf-loving producers, agents, managers and studio execs.
Cheney's athletic background, which goes along with three years most recently spent writing for the Wall Street Journal's "Speakeasy" blog and Marketplace section, is highlighted at the end of today's announcement as well as in this quote from film editor Claudia Eller:
"Alexandra, who was a professional surfer and is a hard-driving journalist, has the perfect kind of competitive DNA needed to aggressively cover the fast-changing, dynamic movie business," Eller said. "She will be a great addition to our already strong film team."

Unavailable in the United States until 2008, Ibérico de Bellota is one of the world's most coveted cuts of meat. The swine from which the bone-in ham is produced must be at least 75 percent black pig, a species found in parts of Spain and Portugal. The free-range pigs used for Ibérico de Bellota are fed an all-acorn diet, giving the meat an oily, nutty flavor that develops during two years of aging in the mountains near Salamanca, Spain. The Spanish-food importer La Tienda (800.710.4304, www.latienda.com) offers Ibérico de Bellota both sliced ($50 for 4 ounces) and whole ($1,400 for approximately 8.5 pounds).

Europe's NextGen Could Cost Bizav $3.45B
Participation in the next-generation European airspace system will require business aircraft operators to invest in new equipment–to the tune of some $3.45 billion between now and 2024–as the concept of "first-come, first-served" is gradually retired, Patrick Ky, executive director of the Single European Sky ATM Research (Sesar) Joint Undertaking, told EBACE attendees yesterday.
While there are several enabling systems in Sesar, "It won't be absolutely necessary for [business aircraft operators] to invest in all of those technologies. I don't believe in 'one size fits all.' But you have to recognize that if you are equipped with a given technology it will give you access to a certain number of services that you may not have access to if you do not have the technology."
Ky said European airspace planners are working on "specific measures" that will assist operators in making investment decisions and making their own "business case" for new equipage. He said the cost to business aviation of new avionics must be qualified, taking into account the expected benefits and operational context of various operators. However, Ky left little doubt that some level of investment will have to be made to gain airspace and airport access equal to those operators who choose to equip.
