Update on Columbia Football
During the summer, we will have periodic Tuesday Updates all through August before starting regular Tuesday releases in September.
Spring Practice Review – The Offense and Special Teams
We had a very productive and successful off-season, which ended May 4th with our final spring practice. Included in this update is the final spring evaluation of our offense and special teams.
We continue to install and refine our system. Last season we installed a new offense, and did so with a large number of young players. I expect that we will continue to see younger players receive playing time in the coming season, especially at wide receiver and on the offensive line. We will continue to create as much competition at those positions as we can until we find the right players. Obviously, the quarterback competition will be very healthy and exciting. We will know much more in September.
Our offensive line continues to be a critical part of our development as a team. Good lines play together. While we have made tremendous progress, we do not have the collective mentality of a top offensive line yet. We had flashes this spring, but we are still too inconsistent. I am pleased with the progress Jim Yukevich and Ryan Thomas made in the second half of the spring. Both of these guys assumed a leadership mentality that this group sorely needs.
Depth at center is critical. Thomas missed some time and did not play in the final scrimmage. Keith Ramljak took all the reps with the first offense at center. While I am encouraged by his versatility, we need better production. If communication up front breaks down, we have no chance. Eric Kuklinski and Billy Lawrence made great strides in the off-season but as I have said before, tall guys need great leg strength.
Marshall Markham made progress and took the majority of the first team reps with Ramljak at center. Joe Ghergurovich can play both guard spots and knows the system. Tom Callahan and Carey Parker took all the reps at tackle behind Kuklinski and Lawrence. Dylan Leonard can help at both center and guard. We have five incoming freshmen that we feel have the size, ability and temperament to compete for playing time right away.
It is important to note that I know I can be overly critical of the offensive line. I have worked with this position my whole career, for the most part. All of our skill players developed this spring. This could not have happened if we had not done significantly better up front. We are better, but not consistent enough, yet.
Our tight ends had a good spring. I feel more confident in this position than a year ago. Hamilton Garner got bigger and stronger in the off-season, which has helped him be more productive as an in-line blocker. He can be a two-level pass threat. He caught the ball well this spring and continues to work on his coverage awareness.
Garrett Demuth came back from injury and exceeded my expectations as a blocker and a receiver, we will know more after camp. Nick Durham had a solid spring and can play both on the line, and in the backfield. Zack McKown was solid and contributed on special teams. With the return of Demuth and two talented incoming freshmen, this group should be very competitive in training camp.
In the offensive backfield, we return First Team All-Ivy League tailback Marcorus Garrett, but coming into the spring, we had concerns about depth. Griffin Lowry had a good off-season; he is a leader and our team listens when he talks. Griff is a good complement to Garrett and will be a factor in our backfield. We put a lot of pressure on Cam Molina to improve this spring, and he did. Cam is explosive and is seeing the defense better as a runner – the game has slowed down for him.
Steven Silvio has gotten bigger and stronger this offseason and has improved as a blocker. We use a fullback on early downs and critical situations, Silvio will be solid and brings an attitude we need. Augie Braddock moved to running back from the defensive side of the ball the spring; he did very well. Augie has a physical and explosive running style - and he may still have a role on defense, as well.
We are looking for Trevor Bell and Alec Fisher to make a major contribution as returners, but both can help at running back if needed. We have strengthened or backfield with the addition of Braddock and development of Molina. We have a productive and fast incoming freshman. There will be competition for reps in camp.
Wide receiver should be a strength for our team, but there will be competition at every spot. Potential and past achievements won't be enough. It is all about dependability and production. Conner Nelligan had an outstanding off season and spring practice, he continues to set the standard for "bringing it" every day. Chris Connors and Jake Wanamaker hold the other two receiver spots right now. We are still looking for more consistent and playing style from both of them.
Ryan Flannery missed some time but continues to improve. Isaiah Gross made great strides this off-season, but needs to show us he is an everyday, every down player. We know he has the ability. Scooter Hollis put himself in the middle of the battle for the slot position; this will be very competitive in camp. Scooter undoubtedly was the most improved wide receiver this spring – he can do a lot of things.
Dan Slivka took advantage of the opportunity to show us what he could do. He was productive and competitive. Andrew Dobitsch had some outstanding moments, but needs to be more consistent. Lou DiNovo continued to play the way he always has, steady and dependable. Joey Andrada missed a lot of practice due to academic conflicts. With the addition of the four incoming freshman, we should be bigger and faster than a year ago. This is a position where young players can contribute right away.
There has been a lot of speculation this off-season about the quarterback position. The quarterback's job is to make the players around him better, and win games. Individual statistics are meaningless if they don't translate into wins.
Trevor McDonough had a strong spring. He matured as a leader and has become much more proficient in our system. I was encouraged by the way he handled the team on Saturday night. He is inconsistent at times – that is because he is young. He will outgrow it. He works at his job and his teammates know it. We got better as an offense this spring that cannot happen unless the QB does his job.
Hank Trumbull continues to have his moments, but like any young player loses focus and can make bad decisions. Hank has the size and athletic ability to play the position at a high level. He has had to overcome playing at a lower level of competition in high school. He was productive at the final spring practice. He made some big throws and got his unit in the end zone. I am optimistic about both of our current quarterbacks. With the addition of the two incoming players, training camp will be very competitive at the signal caller position. We will be young and more talented than a year ago.
Special Teams
Overall, I felt that special teams played well last season. Paul Delaney and Luke Eddy had productive springs and continue to improve. Kickers and punters have to be able to answer in the most competitive situations and spring practice tends to be a time to just strengthen their fundamental skills. The real test will be taken next year with games on the line.
Luke continues to work on his consistency and Paul is very hard on himself. We are fortunate to have veterans at these two positions. Tyler Feely continues to back up both positions, and has taken some work as the holder. John Keefe is an outstanding long snapper and coverage player. We feel we have some incoming freshmen with deep snapping ability. We are also bringing in a talented freshman kicker, who will provide even more competition in camp.
In the return game, I have confidence in Alec Fisher on both kickoffs and punts. "Fish" takes his role seriously and had a strong off-season. Trevor Bell missed some time with injuries, but has shown his ability to help with the return duties. Travis Reim and Bruce Grant also work in the return spots as we continue to develop depth at these important positions.
We are never satisfied. We can always be better. I am pleased with our progress since January. I believe we have created competition at every position. We have not had that in the past. The next three months will be critical in our development. How we return for training camp will tell us a lot about how much we can improve.

One thing that has always interested me, is "Where did THAT name come from?"
As one of those who has always been known by my middle name, I try to find out the answer to that question.
It took me a while to find my grandfather in the 1900 Census, as I knew where he was, but couldn't find him. I knew he was living with his grandparents, and I knew where. Not there.
BUT, then I remembered that his grandmother remarried. As soon as I did a search for her 2nd marriage surname, I found her and my grandfather AND where my middle name came from, as it hadn't been used up until this point.
The same thing happened when I started to look for Ridgely Howard, as that is the only name I knew. But, both Ridgely and Howard were "my" surnames.
The piece that I learned in the past several days was a little about Southern Traditions of the use of First and Middle Names. Apparently, those in the 'south' interchanged First and Middle Names at will. Sometimes call by their middle name and sometimes called by their first name.
In this study, I have also found this to be true, or at least I thought so. In my my review of some of the mid 1800 census records, I saw a James McHenry Howard and a McHenry Howard. Both with the same birth year, which for census records, that may be a 3 year time span, and in the same town (Baltimore, Maryland).
The good news, in my genealogy database, I recorded them separately, but kept in the back of my mind, and made note about this that they may be the same person.
For a while, I thought that James McHenry just reported McHenry, as he might have been going by his middle name, like I do.
Early on, Dr. Jones reminded us (in my words) "don't jump to conclusions".
Understanding, or being aware of Naming "conventions" for a specific area or tradition, is something to keep in mind when trying to break down a brick wall.
When I come to a new "name", one that is appearing for the first time, I ask myself that question: "Where did THAT name come from?"

Democratic incumbent Stephen Ludwig and Republican Brian Davidson were neck-and-neck in the race for an at-large University of Colorado regent seat.
It was déja vu: The 2006 match-up between the same candidates was too close to call for three weeks.
With 76 percent of precincts across the state reporting at 9:30 a.m.Wednesday, Ludwig had a slight edge, with 47 percent of the votes compared to Davidson's 45 percent. The other votes went to third-party candidates.
"It's just too close to call," Ludwig said. "I'm excited about the response my campaign has received from the state, but there are still a lot of votes to count."
Davidson said he's banking on votes to be counted in the Eastern plains and on the Western slope, typically Republican stronghold districts.
"A lot of those are going to be my votes," he said. "We're going to have to hold out and let everything fall into place."
The nine-member Board of Regents sets tuition rates as well as the university's $2.9 billion budget.
The race is a rematch between Ludwig and Davidson, who faced one another in 2006. Ludwig won the seat by a slim margin, and it took three weeks for their razor-thin race to be decided.
Regents serve six-year terms.
The regent race was a crowded one, with Libertarian Daniel Ong, a part-time CU student, and American Constitution Party candidate Tyler Belmont, an 18-year-old high school student, also on the ballot. It was the only party-affiliated, statewide race for an elected position in Colorado.
Some especially partisan issues have come before the board recently -- including whether concealed-weapon permit holders should be allowed to bring guns to campus, and whether undocumented Colorado high school graduates should qualify for unsubsidized in-state rates.

Former Wichita State University greats Pat Meares and Chris Wimmer headline the Kansas Baseball Hall of Fame class of 2013, along with the late Walter "Barney" Barnett, Jim Deckinger, Paul Roberts and the late John Weitzel. In addition, 2012 electee Lee Stevens will be inducted. The annual induction banquet will be held January 26 at Hillside Christian Church in Wichita, located at 8330 East Douglas.
Barnett, from Baxter Springs, worked his days in the lead and zinc mines and spent the rest of his time coaching baseball. He founded the Baxter Springs Whiz Kids, a Ban Johnson League powerhouse in the 1940s-50s. Among his Whiz Kid players were future New York Yankee stars Mickey Mantle and Ralph Terry.
Deckinger, from Wichita, was the most successful high school coach in Greater Wichita Athletic League history. His 1978 Southeast High team won a mythical national championship. His teams won ten GWAL titles and five state championships.
Meares, from Salina, played nine seasons in the major leagues - six with Minnesota and three with Pittsburgh. He was drafted by the Twins out of Wichita State, where he helped lead the Shockers to the 1989 College World Series championship. Meares was named to the '89 All-CWS team. In 1990, he was an All-Missouri Valley Conference selection.
Roberts was a fixture of Wichita baseball for more than seven decades.
As a child in the 1930s, he sold peanuts and popcorn at Island Park and began working at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium when it opened in 1935.
By the time he retired in 2008, Roberts served various capacities, but was best known for operating the front gate.
Weitzel, from LaCrosse, sponsored teams in the Victory League in the 1950s and 1960s. The John Weitzel Cowboys won the 1958 state baseball tournament and became one of Weitzel's many teams that played in the National Baseball Congress World Series.
Wimmer, from Wichita, was a member of the 1992 USA Olympic Team.
At Wichita State, Wimmer was a two-time All-American who led the NCAA in hits and runs in the 1991 season.
Wimmer was drafted by San Francisco and reached the AAA level.
He currently works as a scout for the Detroit Tigers.

Write Once, Communicate… Nowhere?
Back in August I made the off-hand comment "thank goodness for RXTX" when talking about communicating with serial ports using Java. I've been meaning to revisit that topic in a bit more detail, and now is as good a time as any.

I can't decide if I love Java or hate it. I've written books on Java, produced a special DDJ issue on Java, and was a Java columnist for one of our sister magazines, back when we had those. I even edited the Dobb's Java newsletter for a while. There must be something I like. However, I always find I like it more in the server and network environment. For user interfaces, I tend towards Qt these days. For embedded systems, I haven't warmed to Java, even though there are a few options out there, some of which I will talk about sometime later this year.
The lines, however, are blurring between all the different kinds of systems. You almost can't avoid Java somewhere. The Arduino uses Java internally. So does Eclipse. Many data acquisition systems need to connect over a network and Java works well for that, either on the device or running on a host PC (or even a Raspberry Pi).
Another love-hate relationship I have is with the serial port. My first real job was with a company that made RS-232 devices, so like many people I have a long history with serial communications. We keep hearing that the office is going paperless and serial ports are dead. Neither of those seems to have much chance of being true anytime soon. Even a lot of USB devices still look like serial ports, so it is pretty hard to completely give up on the old standard, at least for now.
It isn't that Java doesn't support the serial port. Sun released the Java Communications API in 1997 and Oracle still nominally supports it. It covers using serial ports and parallel ports (which are mostly, but not completely, dead). The problem has always been in the implementation.
When reading the official Oracle page, I noticed that there are reference implementations for Solaris (both SPARC and x86) and Linux x86. I guess they quit trying to support Windows, which is probably a good thing. The last time I tried to use the Windows port, it suffered from many strange errors. For example, if the library wasn't on the same drive as the Java byte code, you couldn't enumerate ports. Things like that.
Pretty much everyone I know has switched to using an open project's implementation, RXTX. The Arduino, for example, uses this set of libraries to talk to the serial port (even if the serial port is really a USB port). The project implements the "official" API and requires a native library, but works on most flavors of Windows, Linux, Solaris, and MacOS. The project is pretty much a drop-in replacement unless you use the latest version.
The 2.1 series of versions still implement the standard API (more or less), but they change the namespace to gnu.io.*. If you use the older 2.0 series, you don't have to even change the namespace from the official examples.
Speaking of examples, instead of rewriting code here, I'll simply point you to the RXTX examples if you want to experiment.
One thing I did find interesting, however, is that RXTX uses JNI to interface with the native library (which, of course, varies by platform). I have always found JNI to be a pain to use (although, you don't use JNI yourself if you are just using RXTX in your program). I much prefer JNA. JNA is another way to call native code in Java programs, and it is much easier to manage. Granted, you can get slightly better performance in some cases using JNI, but in general, modern versions of JNA perform well and typically slash development costs.
I did a quick search to see if there was something equivalent to RXTX but using JNA. There is PureJavaComm. Even if you don't want to switch off RXTX, the analysis of the design of PureJavaComm at that link is interesting reading. Using JNA, the library directly calls operating system calls and avoids having a platform-specific shared library, which is a good thing for many reasons.
Have you managed to dump all your serial ports? Leave a comment and share your experiences.

Thanks to Amy Lee via Pattinson Ladies
Thanks, Kat.
Looks like our man had a fab red carpet turnout, as he should! Love him even more for the time he gives to his fans. Love you, Rob!
He looks so happy. I really hope the London film critics give this movie its due. He looks excited.
Why must he mess with his hair? Ugh so beautiful! <3
Thanks for posting these Kat!
the FingerPorn in the first one is killing me. He looks so beautiful and happy and that's how he should be. Awesome turn-out, hope they go and see the movie multiple times.
Good night all.
He looks so rested. Being at home must agree with him.
Rob is relaxed, gorgeous, elegant, smiling. He loves London, it is his home. He feels free to live his life, enjoy his family and long time friends, make plans, work. He was marvellous at the Baftas and now at RM London premiere he was superb.
I love you Rob. I love RM and all the work that you had, making this film. Congratulations!!!!
God, how lucky all these people are to see him in person!!! I am sooo jealous!!
He looked so beautiful, happy, relaxed, and tired...you could see it in his eyes...was a long day for him...
From all the stuff I've been reading, he loves to be with his fans...they have to tug him away to get inside...
hey, RPG-left a message for you in the RR but you must be here now. LOL I always miss the party!
I saw several tweets today about how generous he was with the fans today, people kept trying to pull him away and he wouldn't go.
Someone needs to let me know if they already have this AVI...
I'm sure someone does...so just let me know & I'll change it!
Hey sweetie!!
This was just a fabulous day!!! Actually the whole month has just been insane with Rob hotness!!
I know-it's awesome but I feel like I can barely keep up! I haven't even gotten to watch the latest batch of videos.
Nope, like this better>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Other one too grainy!
What I want to know is what kind of camera this person has cause these photos are amazing!! My camera sucked *** when it came to getting the money shots in NYC!!
I was such a fangirl this afternoon! When he got to the carpet and stepped out of the car I definitely squeed a little. LOL
Just got back from seeing RM for the 2nd time. After all the beautiful comments I've read over the past week, I needed to see it again. The end was even more poignant and I cried more than the first time. As for Rob...there simply are not enough words to describe how exquisite he is as Tyler. There were more shots of his lovely bare "freckled" back than I remembered. BTW, I'm announcing that I am a charter member of Rob's bare-back porn fanclub. You all have the fingers, chin, etc. I'm staking my claim to his back :D.
As often commented, Rob seems much happier and relaxed back home in London, and not coincidentally the interviews are better. Loved the Channel 5 gal on the carpet. I am anxious about him coming back to LA to start shooting WFE in May. Ironically, I hope it doesn't become a 3-ring circus for him (and KS too) every move being stalked by the f..king LA pappz. Let's all pretend we don't give a shit and maybe they'll give him/them a break! (I know what you're thinking: what has she been smoking??)
Me too, think I've only watched 3 of them...the screaming is insane...how can he hear anything or anyone??? I would think his ears would ring all the time...
It was so cute how he said it's been so quiet the past 2 wks with no screaming....
How cute that both he & Kristen had premiers on the same day...
he says he's gotten used to it but I've got no idea how you could!
when the interviewer asked him about Kristen I thought that woman off to the side was gonna go off! But as always, Rob handled it just the way he should. I don't know why they don't trust him more to respond the right way!
OMG can't even get on twitter..over capacity!
me too! nothing but the fail whale...
I so totally love how no matter how the media tries to spin it, they can not get him to say anything negative about Twilight, or playing Edward...
They all keep asking him and always has nothing but good things to say..
God I fucking love this man!!
Okay, first of all...to be that close to the hair? Gah! I would have to bite my fist to keep from touching it.
He is beyond gracious with his fans.
Hi RPL and rpg!!
Hi Emily!!
OMG just crazy...so many photos and vids...I'm going nuts just trying to read, watch; lick, click, save!!!
I know, when she asked him about the fans, he said he's never had a bad experience with a fan-even after all that shit in NY and he still says that. I just love and respect him so much!
Man, it's quiet around here tonight! =)
What is it about Europe and Rob? The sexiness goes up a few notches when he is there.
Rome Rob, Cannes Rob, BAFTA Rob, the list goes on and on.
Hey, Emily! Happy St. Robby's Day. ;) How's it going?
I know rpg! I haven't watched the red carpet videos yet.
jeez, still no twitter!
LOL @ St. Robby's day! So what happens if I don't wear green? Because I didn't. *wink*
Poor baby I wonder if he's getting sick? He keeps coughing...or he's just worn out...
oh, me either! I'm just waiting for Rob to come and pinch me. ;)
Must be quiet because everyone's on TWITTER!!
RPL - Your avi is killing me! It's not easy for me to replace my "favorite" pictures of Rob but these premiere pics are quickly moving up the list. The jawporn is unbelievable.
he looked gorgeous but he did seem really tired. Said he wasn't going to stay for the movie or go to any after parties.
Is there something exciting going on with Twitter?
I saw the Live Stream earlier today until it died on us and went green. Happy St.Patrick day! Rob looked great and went back and forth signing autographs to doing interviews. Emilie looked so pretty and I loved her heels. It was also great to see a pic of Daddy P and the rest of the Pattinson family there. Oh and TomStu and Marcus was there supporting their boy too.
RPG- I know twitter just crashed. I'm going to see if I can get on again.
Em, yup, the more I look at my avi I think JawPorrrrn! LMAO
RPG, well somebody's got twitter all backed up! :/
Emily I think it's just blowing up from both Rob & Kristen's premiers tonight...
Kristen & Dakota looked gorgeous!!
Emily, the site's down, can't get it...sometimes I forget you're not there! :) ADM doesn't tweet, either.
OMG I got in...
just got twitter to load!
Emily- Well Kristen had her Runaways premier in NY but it's over with and everybody is at the afterparty. I don't think she went though. So maybe people are still talking about the premiere? She looked gorgeous and flawless and Dakota looked pretty too. If you want to see I have links.
YAY! I'm back on twitter. Let me see what I missed.
they did look gorgeous! Kristen was fierce! (and I never use that word, LMAO)
Oh, I guess that makes sense then. LOL!
Where's ADM? I haven't chatted with her for a long time.
I seriously can't stop staring. These premiere pictures remind me of this pic. Probably in my top five favorites.
RM box office numbers are much higher today...things are looking up!!!
Emily, damn the man looks good in red! He needs to wear it more often.
I actually just talked to ADM this afternoon. Maybe we can all find time to get together this weekend!
RPG, that's great! I still need to call my theater and find out what's up.
Okay, just got a look at Kristen.
WOW!! Fierce is right, RPL.
I want her legs, and her skin.... and her boyfriend.
I think she's looking better than ever lately. She's radiant.
Rob in red is my undoing. He needs to wear it more often.
OK Londoners, go see the movie!
Ditto on the "I wants" I want all the same!!
Did you see her on Fallon last night? It was cute, very short though..
Emily, LMFAO-yup, I wouldn't say no to any of that! Especially the last one. ;)
I recorded Fallon but haven't had a chance to see it yet.
She did great on Fallon. Yeah, I was expecting it to be longer too. I loved the "besties" comments.
I wish I could wear shoes like her. She always rocks the best shoes but I would fall and break an ankle in a matter of seconds.
I'm glad we're all in agreement there. :)
I'm a total klutz in tennis shoes. haha I never understand how people can walk around in the mile-high shoes like it's no big deal! They do look great.
LMAO, yeah her shoes are to die for...I can't ear them either...I buy them, but can't wear them...I'm in converse and flippies most of the time...
I'm back. Nothing was going on at twitter it just crashed. That's all
Emily- Kris looked amazing. But she got scared at the end when fans started pushing wanting autographs. So she got in her car and left real quick. Julianne Moore came and so they might be doing that Backwood(I think that's the name of it) movie together this summer.
RPG- Yeah she rocked on Fallon last night.
Yeah, as if I even have an occasion to wear shoes like that. I still envy them.
Shani - Thanks for the info. I'm not surprised Kristen got scared. The fans need to take it down a notch or two. I'd be scared out of my mind.
Hey Shani...
She did...and she just shined tonight as well.. god to be 19 again, look like that, have that life & boyfriend...
did you guys see the videos of Kristen and Taylor when they got off the plane in Brazil? Scary. I would have wanted to turn around and get back on the plane.
@shani, yes, links please.
I can't watch videos like that but I heard about them. Crazy.
Didn't Taylor go with Kristen to the LA premiere of TR? I'd feel a little safer with him next to me, I'll tell you that.
I did see that vid in Brazil..it is scary, thats one part of their life I would hate...I can't even handle the screaming on the vids...can't imagine in your face..
Emily- And some of the fans and paps got mad because she left early. Uh hello, y'all are the ones who scared her off being so aggressive.
Shani - Those are the people that give all Twilight fans a bad name. I mean, what do they want from her?
Oh god I love this photo
yep, he was there with her. Nice that they all support each other!
I saw a hilarious video on Twitarded yesterday-pokes fun at all the Twilight people but I was ROTFL!
lallieb- Here's Kristen, Joan, Dakota.
rpg - The link isn't working for me! I challenged when it comes to photobucket links.
What video RPL?
RPG, that IS a good one! It's like he's got a secret and he's just about to spill it...he's got the best expressions.
Uh, that should be *I'm* challenged.
I guess that's obvious.
Oh god, here we go again..
Emily its one of the photos on this site...it's under the ones that are in the cut
RPG- Kris is living the life.
Emily- People just don't care anymore. They just want to take and take all the time.
RPG, what a bunch of bullshit. :P
I know...it's like they can't make up anymore about him & Kristen, so they'll just pick someone else..
Beanie Rob & Tom leaving RM after party..
Shani - did you go see Bobby last night at Poor David's Pub in Dallas??
I wanted to go but wasn't able to.
I LOVE how he pulls that beanie on no matter what he's wearing! LOL I bet he'd wear it with a tux if he felt like it.
Long live the hobo!
Alrighty, I'm tired..time to go..
RPL seriously can't wait for you to see RM so we can talk about it!!!! It's killing me not to ask you stuff about it...
Night all..
RPG, I know-it's killing me, too! Have a great night, bb. =)
Okay RPL, that was THE funniest spoof I've ever seen! I can't stop laughing and my husband keeps glaring at me.
The parts with Jacob were pure win. When he's in Bella's bedroom - LMAO!
Goodnight rpg!
Emily, are you still here?
ok, I guess you are! isn't that just the best spoof ever? hahaha
"can I come in?"
"no" "please" "No" "Please" "NO"
*Jake flexes* "Pleeease?" "Ok."
And then all the push ups, I was dying!
That was hilarious!! I'm gonna pass that one on. I love the jump Jacob does at the end and then he trips over the log. And yeah, he was hot. If they could work him into the wolf pack somewhere that'd be great...
he's got the body for it, doesn't he? I loved how they all cracked up in the end, and oh, the frolicking! hahahahah
The frolicking part was awesome. I feel bad for CW that everyone laughed in the theater at that part.
I still have a major crush on CW.
So have you asked your friend to go "shopping" with you? I can't believe the theater isn't showing it!
I know, me too! I loved seeing him again in all the behind the scenes stuff-he's so great in SUCH a dorky way. :) It's too bad they're not having him back for BD. Although, if they're going to have two parts maybe he'll get one of them.
I read an article on CNN about him and how he loved doing the movie but he'll be happy to slip back into obscurity and never be recognized again. He said the reason the commentary doesn't have Rob, Kristen, or Taylor is that they bailed on him! LOL!
HI guys! This has nothing to do with this thread, but my blood pressure is boiling! Will one of you wonderful writers and defenders of Rob please go over to Just Jared and defend my comment? I posted it as Jen, about the movie not bombing as people are claiming. someone replied back and I have no defense. I can't think when I'm angry :) Here's the link. I would love you guys if you would help me (and help Rob) out here! http://justjared.buzznet.com/2010/03/17/robert-pattinson-uk-premiere-remember-me-emilie-de-ravin/comment-page-2/#comments
No, I haven't talked to her yet and I didn't have a chance to call the theater today. Next week they're showing that dumb-looking Bounty Hunter movie with Jennifer Anniston (who I love, but I think the movie's not going to do that well) and I'm just thinking, why?!? With all the buzz around Rob, you would think every theater would want to have RM!
Mika - Yikes! Those people are brutal. I hate confrontation. I totally agree with what you said and you said it very well. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to get into a comment war.
Don't feed the trolls! :)
hehe, thanks Emily. I know what you mean!! I thought I had a good argument than that person made a good one too, even though of course they are wrong! I just don't know how to counter it. Grrrr. :)
Some people love to hate Rob. How much a movie makes and what critics say about it have ZERO bearing on whether it touches certain people. I loved it. I couldn't care less how much money it made and I'm not sure Rob does either. He doesn't make movies because they are going to bring in tens of millions of dollars. He should be proud of himself.
I think I'm going to call it a night. Hope you have a great night! Maybe we can organize a meeting this weekend and get ADM in on it. :)
Amen RPL.
RPG- I was just about to post that Popsugar link of Rob and TomStu lurking at the RM after party.
femroc- Nope, I sure didn't get a chance to see Bobby yesterday. But a friend of mine did twice. He did a private event and then went to his gig afterward. For the fans at the club he didn't do a meet and greet though. So she was lucky to meet him and get a pic earlier that day.
My husband gave up on me a while ago and went to bed. I should probably call it a night too.
I hope we can chat again soon! It's been great. Sweet London Rob dreams to you RPL! Mmmmm....jawporn.
ok, one last comment-Emily you are so right. He's not in it for the money or fame, he does movies because he believes in the script and the experience. He's got such a good work ethic and I think people just want to reduce him to some kind of famewhore because of the craziness that is Twilight, you know? But based on what I've seen, he just doesn't work that way.
Ok, going now-have sweet Robdreams, everyone! <3
LMAOOOO I don't remember who posted the link to the vid..I'm too busy laughing @ "You're pale and cold~!" "Yea well, you're uh short and brown."
Thanks whoever did...
Night RPG!
That's exactly what people do and it frustrates me to no end RPL. Well said. Good thing we know better, right? He is lovely and I'm glad so many people can see that.
Night Emily!
Bye RPL!
I guess I will go too. Let me see what's going on over at twitter.
okay okay, deep breath. I'm no longer mad, or at least, not as mad as I was. :) that's good advice RPlover. I don't know why I even commented over there. I just get so angry when I read that stuff that I act on impulse sometimes. I'm usually very shy and never comment! I've been a lurker here for at least 2 years and have been too shy to comment. I love this place and I feel like I know you guys from reading all your comments for so long. :)
Goodnight Shani!
Okay, I'm really going to bed now but welcome Mika! I've been here since day 1 and it's the best Rob site out there. I'm glad you came out of lurkdom! Please comment more!
Sweet Rob dreams to you!
Wait!! If y'all or any lurkers want to you can follow me over at twitter.
I don't talk about my life. I tweet the latest news about Rob, Kris and whoever else in the cast that has anything going on. Also whatever is happening with other stars. If it's major I'll tweet it. ;-)
Now I'm out.
Good night all! I'm glad to be out of "Lurkdom" Awesome word, Emily!
Anger - OUT
Warm fuzzy feelings - IN
Pic of Rob with his beard in LA - he went to a guitar shop to autograph a guitar for the homeless!!!!!! Proceeds would go to the homeless.
Another reason to LOVE ROB.
Oh boy........Dakota Fanning is on Jimmy Fallon and they just had some video questions to her.........the last one was Kristen asking her "what was it like to kiss Kristen Stewart?"
Ok - I can already tell that The Runaways will make more than Remember me on opening weekend!!!!!!!! Dammit.
Go here and vote for Remember Me
Ladies, I have AVast Anti-virus. It detected a Trojan virus on boxoffice.com web site and blocked it...
Be careful there please.
I also voted for Remember Me.... of course.
@femroc: just to make it really clear its not a competition - The Runaways is opening in limited release - it won't go wide until April.
That was a huge red carpet - I luv he thought it was in 'the
little theatre around the corner'...lol I think he was barely standing by the end - long day.
Nice to see him so happy! LOL when thinking about what he said about the English fans, no screaming... LOL... They were wild! LOL...
I'm also very proud of myself... Managed to stay in RL all day yesterday... Might have something to do with the fact I just met somebody... LOL... It could be the right one, my Edward... LOL... Let's hope...
Good morning
Thanks ROBsessed.
All the pics and the vids.
Robert looks wonderful manly
I like the hair.
I am glad that there were so many people there. The man is incredible, he takes so much time for autographs and photos. Hopefully, the fans are grateful and go to RM
Mr. Pattinson many thanks.
When I see the stupid, accusatory headlines at the press. "Robert Pattinson Kristen Stewart not accompanied to the premiere of the Runaways." How stupid they must be. When do the finally learn to do their job properly.
I hope everyone is Trojan Free. But vote if you have avast or something similar to block the web site viruses.
Just trying to help everyone, thas's me. I am a nurturer.
Seen RM for the 2nd time, (first for me) But Rob deserves it.
Need another spoiler blog....
Really want to say things but can't here....
Saw Rob and Emilie but not Pierce or Tate or Chris? Where were they?
@Heart-RobxD - considering his premiere happened just a few hours before hers in another country that title is a bit ridiculous. I did see this pic of a RM castmate when I browsing all the arrivals at kristen premiere:
martha plimpton (uncredited-Ally's mom in RM) at the runaways premiere in NY
OMG Guys I was there last night front row at the barrier, got an awesome picture of him which I will twitpic. Just have to say how amazingly natural and gorgeous he looked, so much hair porn going on all night it was almost too much to handle.
He is without a doubt everything I expected him to be, polite, sexy, stunning and to die for.....T H U D!!!
I went on my own and met some amazing people, I recommend anyone to go to a premiere with him x
About THE RUNAWAYS´s Premiere, the rumors said that Allen Coulter, RM´s director was in NY yesterday at the kristen´s Premiere.
If it´s correct I don´t understand that the logic is the director be in London support his movie.
Somebody know if Allen was in London yesterday?
well they are soo lucky thats my dream and it has just became real for them thats unfair while I am dying because of ROB in here
@Sissi. That's good news girl. Just go for it. Remember, remember me right? Whatever you do in life is...
@ Nancy & everyone - I, too, got the Trojan virus at boxoffice.com.
My computer had to be totally wiped down and I had to use my backups and original discs to reinstall everything.
Thank you for mentioning this because I thought it was only me who got it. I had anti virus software, but apparently it failed to work. I have Avast now.
Do be careful about voting. I obsessed with Rob, but am now reluctant to vote because of the enormous hassle of restoring my computer.
Love Rob Pattinson, though.
@sissylyon were your there too yesterday? if you were shame we couldn't meet up

I don't drink. Never did. Not sure why. I was just real late to the party and one day it just became part of my identity. I became "the sober guy". I figured eventually it would stop being a big deal, that as I got older my contemporaries would sober up a bit and the distinction would fade. I'm turning 35 this year and that eventuality has failed to materialize. And I don't think it's that I just happen to associate with a bunch of drunks.
I own a family entertainment center (a bowling alley) where we do not have a bar. As a consequence it is exceedingly difficult to build and retain adult bowling leagues. To the point where we are probably scrapping them next year in favor of being able to do more private birthday parties. It seems to me that every social activity in adult life is centered around the availability of alcohol. That maybe why I enjoy paintball as much as I do.
I don't mean this as a criticism of anyone who does drink. Even the people I inferred above are by and large responsible social drinkers (most of the time).
So on to the titular question. I can count on thee fingers the number of adults I know that sober all the time. Two of them are in recovery. One of them is just not a social person at all. So are any of you always Sober? If so, why?

My record-keeping skills aren't great, but I'm pretty sure this is at least my 10th straight season of covering MLK Day hoops for Rotoworld. It's the best day of the year for fantasy hoops junkies, especially if you're lucky enough to get the day off. It used to be an automatic sick/personal day for me when I had a "real" job and worked in a cubicle, for a woman who absolutely hated fantasy sports and my involvement with them, even though she also had no idea what fantasy sports were. But she always claimed to be a Packers fan, and it wouldn't surprise me if she plays in a fantasy football league these days. In one of the last conversations we had before I went all 'Office Space' and decided to "stop going" back in 2004, she said "I don't know what fantasy sports are, and I don't even want to know what they are." If anyone reading this knows Corrine, tell her I said hello.
I've got a time-crunch situation on Sunday night so this column will focus on Monday's games, which kick off at 1 p.m. EST. Make sure you get your lineups set ASAP, and check out the Injury Report, the Saturday Dose, Waiver Wired and the news blurbs from the weekend to catch up on anything you missed. And follow me on Twitter by clicking here.

2 Games – Dallas, Denver.
MLK Day Schedule & Outlook
Kings @ Hornets – 1 p.m.
Isaiah Thomas teased his owners again on Saturday with 15 points, five boards, seven assists and two steals in a win over the Bobcats, while Tyreke Evans, Marcus Thornton and DeMarcus Cousins all played well. I have no idea on what nights IT2 should be started, but he looked good in that one, and is now a decent option in weekly leagues with four games. John Salmons has cooled off and I'd bench him in weekly leagues, while Cousins is officially the only must-start player on the Kings right now.
Greivis Vasquez and Ryan Anderson are must-starts, Anthony Davis broke loose on Saturday and should be in lineups with four games this week, and Eric Gordon is a must-start on nights he'll play. Gordon has a decent chance of starting all four games this week because none of them are back-to-backs. Al-Farouq Aminu is the hot free agent right now, especially after he had 14 points, 10 boards, two steals and a block on Saturday. Pick him up. Robin Lopez is also a decent center option if you need one.
Pacers @ Grizzlies – 1 p.m. ESPN
Paul George owners only get three games out of their beast this week and he's coming off another monster game of 31 points, six boards, five steals, a block and seven 3-pointers on 11-of-19 shooting Saturday. Wow. And he even shut down James Harden in that one, to boot. George Hill, David West and Roy Hibbert should be in most lineups, while Lance Stephenson will be worth a deep-league look.
Zach Randolph returned on Saturday from his back injury, so that should mean he's safe for the week, especially since he had 13 points and 19 boards in that one. Rudy Gay has not been traded and remains a must-start player with four games, while Mike Conley and Marc Gasol should also be in starting lineups. Tony Allen is a possibility in deeper leagues, but the good news is that both of these teams should come in healthy.
Timberwolves @ Hawks 2 p.m.
Speaking of health, the Wolves are failing in that department, with a majority of their players banged up. Kevin Love, Nikola Pekovic and Alexey Shved are out on Monday, while Dante Cunningham is very iffy due to an illness. Luke Ridnour, Ricky Rubio, Derrick Williams, Andrei Kirilenko and J.J. Barea are all decent fantasy plays for four games this week, while the unknown Chris Johnson is coming off an incredible game on Saturday when he had 15 points, six boards and a block in just 18 minutes, after being signed that morning. I don't trust him enough to put him in a lineup, but he's certainly worth keeping an eye on. And starting C Greg Stiemsma is also worth a look if you need boards and blocks.
The Hawks are a mess right now with Lou Williams out for the season with a knee injury, and Devin Harris a little iffy with a sprained ankle. Al Horford, Josh Smith and Jeff Teague are four-game must-starts, while Kyle Korver and Harris are pretty close to also being must-plays, if Harris is healthy enough to go. Zaza Pachulia is also worth a look, as he bounces in and out of the starting unit for Larry Drew. Watch for updates on Harris prior to the game.
Rockets @ Bobcats 2 p.m.
With four games, James Harden, Jeremy Lin, Chandler Parsons and Omer Asik look like must-starts, but keep in mind Lin was benched at the start of the second half on Saturday after ticking off Kevin McHale with poor play. Hopefully that won't carry over into this week, while Asik was terrible on Saturday after blowing up for a career-high 22 points on Friday. The whole team was pretty awful in Saturday's loss to the Wolves, so look for them to bounce back against the Cats. Carlos Delfino and Patrick Patterson are also worth a look, but I trust Delfino more than Pat-Pat at this point. If I own Delfino, I'm playing him, and learning to take the good with the bad.
Kemba Walker, Gerald Henderson and Ramon Sessions all look like solid three-game plays, while Hakim Warrick and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist are also worth a look. Ben Gordon has cooled off too much to be relied upon, while Bismack Biyombo is not a guy I'd start in a four-game week, let alone a three-gamer. Walker (ankle) and Henderson (back) are both dealing with injury concerns, so watch for news on them Monday morning.
Nets @ Knicks 3:30 p.m. NBATV
With four games, Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson are your must-starts, while Gerald Wallace, Andray Blatche, Kris Humphries and Reggie Evans are all worth a look, based on your needs. I have a feeling Wallace may be ready for a bounce-back week, so think about running him out there.
The Knicks' one-game week is mercifully behind us and they go four times this week. Carmelo Anthony's owners are rejoicing, along with those of J.R. Smith and Tyson Chandler. Amare Stoudemire played well on Thursday with 17 points and four boards in 20 minutes, and is worth a look, despite the obvious playing-time concerns. Jason Kidd is another guy I have no problems with starting this week, while Chris Copeland, Steve Novak and Iman Shumpert might be worth a deep-league flier. Raymond Felton is nearing a return, but isn't startable yet.
Clippers @ Warriors 4 p.m.
This game will feature a pair of banged up point guards, both of whom played well on Saturday. Keep an eye out for news on Chris Paul's knee, but with five games, he simply has to be started in weeklies. Blake Griffin, Jamal Crawford and Matt Barnes are also five-game must-starts, while DeAndre Jordan, Caron Butler and Lamar Odom are also strong possibilities. Eric Bledsoe actually played well despite the return of Paul, but even with five games, you can probably find a safer option.
Stephen Curry returned after missing a couple games with a sprained ankle on Saturday and went off for 20 points and a full stat line in 38 minutes. He's a must-start with four games (as long as he's healthy), along with Klay Thompson. David Lee is banged up with a sprained ankle, but is still hoping to play on Monday after missing Saturday's game. Watch for news on Curry and Lee Monday morning. Jarrett Jack went off, despite Curry's return, and had 25 points and 12 dimes on Saturday. He's risky, but worth a serious look. Harrison Barnes disappeared on Saturday, but is still a decent four-game option, while Carl Landry's double-double on Saturday was a bit of a fluke with Lee out.
Spurs @ Sixers 7 p.m. TNT
The Spurs have four games, but you just don't know what you're going to get, which Tim Duncan's owners know after his surprise DNP on Saturday in order to rest. Duncan and Tony Parker are must-starts, while Manu Ginobili is out for the week. Kawhi Leonard, Gary Neal, Stephen Jackson and Danny Green are all going to help fill in for him, and could trade off productive lines from night to night. Tiago Splitter is playing well enough to be a solid four-game option, while I would lean toward starting Leonard, too.
The Sixers are coming off a two-game week, but Jrue Holiday played well in both of them and looks like a must-start, despite just three games. Thaddeus Young is also a solid option, along with Evan Turner. Jason Richardson didn't practice on Sunday with his gimpy knee and is always a risky play these days. And Dorell Wright has been quiet, but could get hot if J-Rich misses any time.
Lakers @ Bulls 9:30 p.m. TNT
The Lakers are a mess and lost to the Raptors on Sunday, when Dwight Howard was ejected (when he probably shouldn't have been). That helped Earl Clark have another big game, and he's worth a look for four games this week, even with Howard and Pau Gasol both back. Kobe Bryant, Howard, Metta World Peace, Steve Nash and Gasol are all must-starts. Antawn Jamison is probably in the same category as Clark, but the sad truth is that Clark is a more trustworthy player right now.
Luol Deng missed Saturday's game with a hamstring injury, making him iffy for Monday. If he's out, Jimmy Butler should have another opportunity after racking up a career-high 18 points, eight boards and three steals in a start for Deng. Joakim Noah was benched on Saturday, but is a must-start, along with Carlos Boozer. Taj Gibson has played well, but I don't trust him as long as Noah and Boozer are healthy. It's fine to throw Kirk Hinrich or Nate Robinson into a lineup in hopes they have some good games this week, but they're both pretty shaky from night to night. Richard Hamilton has been playing better, and is also worth some deep-league consideration.
Wizards @ Blazers 10 p.m.
With four games John Wall, Bradley Beal and (surprisingly) Emeka Okafor are your only must-start Wizards, while Kevin Seraphin, Nene, Jordan Crawford, Martell Webster and Trevor Ariza may all be worth a look. A.J. Price probably is too, but you also have to think Wall is very close to replacing him at point guard.
With four games, there's not much to say about the Blazers. The starters are all fantasy money, and the bench is fantasy garbage. That means Damian Lillard, Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum, LaMarcus Aldridge and J.J. Hickson are all must-start players this week and on Monday. Just keep in mind that Lillard (ankle), Batum (wrist) and Aldridge (wrist) are all worth keeping an eye on for news on their minor injuries Monday morning.

CRANBERRY TWP — A Missouri man died this morning after a three-vehicle accident on Interstate 79.
A 42-year-old man and his passenger were parked on the eastern shoulder of the northbound lane of the interstate when, for an unknown reason, the driver made a sharp left turn into traffic, according to Dennis Trzeciak, Butler County deputy coroner.
The car was t-boned immediately upon re-entry onto I-79 by a pickup truck hauling a camping vehicle. The two men in the pickup, who were on their way to Erie for a fishing trip, were not injured.
"It was a perfect t-bone," Trzeciak said. "The truck intruded at least halfway into the vehicle. The driver literally turned right in front of the truck. He obviously didn't see him."
Trzeciak said that the man died of injuries to his head, body and neck and was pronounced dead at the scene.
A female passenger in the car was taken to a hospital in Pittsburgh, but her condition and location aren't immediately known.
Trzeciak said those people in the car were from Cuba, Mo., which is an hour and a half southwest of St. Louis. The men in the truck were from Oakdale, Allegheny County, Trzeciak said.
Neither the drivers nor the passengers in the vehicles were identified.
Another vehicle in the left lane was trying to pass the truck, according to Trzeciak, and was involved in the accident. No one from that vehicle was injured, he said.
The crash happened just after 10 a.m. at mile marker 81, which is near North Boundary Road in Cranberry Township.

All-Americans, Postgrad Scholars Highlight Husker Academic Success
University of Nebraska student-athletes produced another outstanding year in 2012-13, continuing NU's tradition of academic success. The Huskers added eight more CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to their nation-leading total of 307 across all teams and all sports.
A record 705 awards were issued for the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Fall (381) and Spring (324) Honor Roll, recognizing Husker student-athletes who produced a 3.0 GPA or better during a semester. Among that group, Huskers produced 84 perfect 4.0 GPA semesters. A total of 68 Nebraska student-athletes also were honored as Big Ten Distinguished Scholars for posting 3.7 grade-point averages or better and lettering in their respective sports in 2012-13.
Nebraska's eight CoSIDA Academic All-Americans led the Big Ten Conference and ranked among the highest totals in the nation across all divisions. The Huskers maintained their lead of 76 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-Americans over national No. 2 Notre Dame. During the year, Nebraska became the first school in history to reach 300 all-time academic All-Americans, and is one of just three schools across all divisions with 200 or more, joining Notre Dame and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). NU leads the nation in CoSIDA Academic All-Americans since 2000 with 117, extending its nation-leading streak to 42 consecutive years with at least one academic All-American.
Nebraska's CoSIDA Academic All-America success continues to set the standard for the approximately 1,400 member institutions. The Husker football team leads all individual sport programs in the nation with 104 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-America awards, including 2012 first-team honorees Rex Burkhead and second-team selection Sean Fisher. Burkhead and Fisher became two of the nation-leading 70 two-time Husker academic All-Americans across all sports. Burkhead added a prestigious Nationall Football Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship worth $18,000, while Fisher claimed an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship worth $7,500. Burkhead also was named the captain of the AFCA Good Works Team for his extensive community involvement.
The Nebraska men's and women's track and field program added three academic All-Americans, including Bjorn Barrefors - the first four-time CoSIDA Academic All-American in school history. Barrefors, who was also Nebraska's 2013 Male Student-Athlete of the Year and an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winner, earned first-team accolades for the third consecutive season. He was joined on the academic All-America team by women's track and field student-athletes Mara Griva and Morgan Wilken, who both earned second-team awards. The 35 combined academic All-America honors since 2002 for the men's and women's track and field program lead the nation.
The Nebraska wrestling team added first-team CoSIDA Academic All-American Josh Ihnen, who also claimed his second academic All-America award, while the Husker volleyball team contributed first-team academic All-American Gina Mancuso, who added recognition as a Senior CLASS Award winner. Emily Wong, an eight-time All-American in competition for the Nebraska women's gymnastics team, added a second-team CoSIDA Academic All-America award. The 2013 Big Ten all-around champion, Wong will return for her senior season in 2013-14.
Burkhead, Fisher Raise Nebraska's Nation-Leading
Football Academic All-America Total to 104
Senior I-back Rex Burkhead and senior linebacker Sean Fisher became the 25th and 26th two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American in the illustrious history of Nebraska football when they claimed honors for the second straight season in 2012. Burkhead, who closed his career as the No. 5 all-time leading rusher in Nebraska football history with 3,329 yards, became just the 14th Husker football player to win two first-team academic All-America awards. The Plano, Texas, native earned his bachelor's degree as a history major in December of 2012, before being selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Fisher contributed second-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors to the Husker program after appearing in all 14 games. Fisher, who made five starts at linebacker, notched 48 tackles on the season. The pre-medicine/business administration major from Omaha, Neb., earned his bachelor's degree in May of 2013 and plans to attend medical school.
Burkhead and Fisher were two of Nebraska's 28 academic All-Big Ten selections in 2012, and were among the 27 Husker football players who earned bachelor's degrees from Nebraska in 2012-13.
Barrefors Becomes Nebraska's First
Four-Time CoSIDA Academic All-American
Bjorn Barrefors made history for the Nebraska track and field program by becoming the school's first four-time CoSIDA Academic All-American in 2013. A six-time All-American as a multi-eventer for Coach Gary Pepin's squad, Barrefors was a three-time first-team academic All-America selection. The native of Stockholm, Sweden, was Nebraska's 2013 Male Student-Athlete of the Year and claimed a prestigious Big Ten Medal of Honor. It marked the third consecutive year that a men's track and field athlete was named NU's male student-athlete of the year. An NCAA Postgraduate Scholar, Barrefors was a two-time team captain and a member of two conference championship teams as a Husker.
Mara Griva closed her outstanding Husker career as a second-team academic All-American. The native of Ventspils, Latvia, was a 10-time All-American for the Huskers, while sweeping the Big Ten long and triple jump titles both indoors and outdoors in 2013. She was named the 2013 Big Ten Outdoor Female Field Athlete of the Year. The management/marketing major was a two-time academic All-Big Ten selection.
Morgan Wilken added second-team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, joining Griva as a first-time winner in 2013. A two-time All-American in the discus from Crofton, Neb., Wilken was a mathematics and math education major who earned a pair of academic All-Big Ten honors.
Outdoor track and field competitors John Welk and Anne Martin also captured NCAA Elite 89 awards, which are given to the student-athletes with the highest cumulative grade-point averages competing in their respective NCAA championships.
The men's and women's track and field and cross country programs produced 38 academic All-Big Ten selections in 2012-13 and have churned out five of Nebraska's six student-athletes of the year over the last three years.
Nebraska Claims 188 Academic All-Big Ten Awards
Across all sports, Nebraska student-athletes captured 188 academic All-Big Ten selections, including conference-leading totals from the women's gymnastics (9) and men's golf (7) teams.
Husker teams ranked among the top two in the conference in academic All-Big Ten choices across six sports, including women's gymnastics, men's golf, baseball (15), wrestling (9), men's gymnastics (9) and rifle (4).
Over the past five years, Nebraska has amassed more than 900 academic all-conference certificates across all sports.
Husker student-athletes also earned a school-record 705 spots on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll during the fall or spring semesters of 2012-13. To earn a spot on the honor roll, a student-athlete must earn a 3.0 grade-point average during the semester. During the fall or spring semesters, 84 Husker student-athletes produced perfect 4.0 semester GPAs.
A total of 68 Husker student-athletes captured Big Ten Conference Distinguished Scholar awards. Those student-athletes produced 3.7 or better grade-point averages during the fall and spring semesters of 2012-13, while also earning letters in their respective sports.
More Than 250 Huskers Honored at 23rd Annual Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet
The University of Nebraska Athletic Department took one special night to honor its own student-athletes at the 23rd annual Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet. A total of 255 honor medallions were presented to Husker student-athletes.
In addition to Bjorn Barrefors and Mary Weatherholt earning Nebraska's top individual honors as Student-Athletes of the Year, Coach Bill Spangler's men's golf team (3.648 GPA) and Coach Scott Jacobson's women's tennis team (3.793 GPA) claimed the 19th annual Herman Awards. The awards are presented to the Husker teams with the top team grade-point averages. It marked the fifth award for the women's tennis program in the past nine years, while the men's golf team claimed its fourth award in the history of the program, including the third straight honor.
Weatherholt capped the most brilliant women's tennis career in NU history with her success both on and off the court. The two-time Big Ten Women's Tennis Athlete of the Year became the first player in Nebraska history to earn All-America honors as a singles player on her way to NCAA runner-up honors. She added All-America accolades while teaming with Patricia Veresova to advance to the NCAA quarterfinals in doubles action. Weatherholt captained the Huskers to their first NCAA Sweet 16 appearance as a team and the program's first conference title since 1978. She also claimed one of the top individual honors in collegiate tennis with the ITA/Cissie Leary National Award for Sportsmanship. She earned her bachelor's degree in business administration from Nebraska in May of 2012.
The hard work, dedication and commitment of Nebraska's student-athletes in the classroom resulted in 109 current or former student-athletes earning their bachelor's degrees from August of 2012 through May of 2013.
Nebraska Life Skills Program Continues
Innovative Approach to Community Outreach
In the community, Husker student-athletes from all sports combined to complete more than 200 individual outreach requests and over 50 team outreach events impacting several thousand people in and around Lincoln.
Recognizing their influence on youth, student-athletes served as motivational speakers for Middle School Matters, American Education Week and School is Cool assemblies to promote the importance of education and responsible choices. Husker student-athletes participated in weekly mentoring programs to serve as role-models to Lincoln Public Schools students and assisted several non-profit organizations to promote awareness for various causes. This year, the Nebraska High School Sports Hall of Fame Foundation collaborated with the University of Nebraska Athletic Department to host the first combined Sportsmanship 4 Life Pep Rally, which impacted an estimated 1,700 middle school students.
In the fall of 2012, the Husker Life Seminar in partnership with the College of Education and Human Sciences entered its fourth year as a requirement for every incoming Husker student-athlete. Nearly 200 student-athletes completed the seminar, which focused on the transition to college life while learning skills to succeed as college students.
The Life Skills staff continues to coordinate a number of major life skills events focusing on personal and career development. Student-athletes attended annual events, including the Student-Athlete Career Fair, Involvement Fair, Financial Forum, Networking Night, Career Clinics and Tom Osborne Senior Session. A new addition in 2012-13 was the Part-Time Employment Internship Fair designed to assist student-athletes with summer employment and internship opportunities. All events are aimed at promoting total personal development and preparation for life after sports.
The 2012-13 season marked the 10th year of the Huskers' innovative Life Skills Award of Excellence Team Competition, which includes winners from both men's and women's divisions. Coach Mark Manning's Nebraska wrestling team captured the award on the men's side, while Coach Pablo Morales' swimming and diving team claimed the honor on the women's side for the second consecutive season.
The Life Skills Award honors the teams demonstrating the strongest commitment to all phases of the Life Skills Program, including outreach, education and leadership. The award was presented at the annual Nebraska Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet in April.
Thirty Husker student-athlete leaders were also recognized at the annual HERO Leadership Breakfast, honoring those who have consistently gone above and beyond establishing themselves as excellent leaders and role models. Ben Cotton from the Nebraska football team and Kelsey Larson from the Husker swimming and diving team and Mary Weatherholt from the Nebraska women's tennis team received the prestigious Heart and Soul Award, which recognizes exemplary community service and leadership.

The transitions of life's second half offer a special
kind of opportunity to break with the social conditioning that has carried
us successfully this far and [onward] to do something really new and different.
William Bridges, Transitions [1]
The two planets most consistently lively in a psychoactive fashion during the midlife transition are Saturn and Uranus. Prior to the sighting of Uranus in 1781, Saturn was the ruler of the sign Aquarius, and as with all the signs with modern rulers, the ancient ruler is not only still effective, it acts as a highly significant agent in the sign's behavior or manifestation.
Saturn and Uranus embody antithetical properties and have strongly polarized characteristics:
As you might suspect, if we were made up only of Saturn and Uranus as planetary agents for life forces, we would not survive the stress of the conflict! In fact the conflict of Saturn and Uranus are older than time, and herald the archetypal struggle of heaven and earth that is present in all forms of creative struggle, whether that is socio-political, interpersonal, or within one's own self.

Mythologically, Uranus is the eponymous planet of the ancient Greek god who was, in fact, the heavens as a place. Ouranos was never worshipped as a god, nor are there any shrines, emblems or evidence of temples and the usual indicators of an individual entity. That Ouranos was the sky, and not a sky god gives him a very special place in myth - not as a singular entity but as a realm of experience. This is very significant in considering the astrology of Uranus and the interpretation of its qualities both as a natal planet and in transit.
Ouranos came into being because, Gaia - mother earth - created him herself to comfort her and be her consort. After she birthed many other earth and nature divinities on her own (or with the aid of Eros, according to the oldest myth) she grew lonely and wanted a mate. And, so she created Ouranos, the heavens, to surround her and keep her constant company, and he enveloped the earth in all his aetheric power. Their union produced many offspring, such as the Cyclopes and the Titans.
Then, Gaia found herself pregnant with new offspring, the Hekatonchires, or the "hundred-handed ones". They were multiple and monstrous, but being a mother, Gaia loved them anyway. Ouranos, did not. He was horrified at their monstrosity, their imperfect and fearful traits, and refused her birthing them. Naturally, Gaia grew uncomfortable and angry, and she employed the youngest of the Titan's, their son, Kronos in an act that would change the course of mythic history.
She presented Kronos with a scythe, made of adamant - obsidian - a clear, hard crystalline sickle and told him to reach up, "as Ouranos lay round Gaia, longing for love", and castrate him. Which he did. [2] Thus, forever separating the archetypal parents, as well as launching a new mythology.
We can view this myth variously, but with the ensuing battle of the Titans and the collapse of the unified male/female, and the polarization of "above and below", there issued a new archetype into life. The separation of heaven and earth, of male and female, the split of the archetypal parents into separate quarters, remains a strong and influential component in our collective and individual psyches.
We can view the "above/below" polarity in many ways. Not only does it symbolize the manifestation of conscious and unconscious behavior, it also represents the first inklings of dual perception - that there is something "outside ourself" or even deep within ourself that is in opposition or conflict.
Jung thought mediation of conflict was the stuff of life; that inner conflict resolution was the reply to the universal challenge toward wholeness. This is a powerful concept, and more often than not, resolution of inner conflict results in conscious peace of mind for individuals.
The function of Saturn and Uranus, the mythic father/son conflict as we experience it in mid-life, is about resolution of conflict and the need for change, even if it is a violent or disruptive act. As a psychic complex, or a dichotomy, Saturn can act as the severing function of our creative ideas. We might be so worried about our own creativity that it never actually is given birth, but is "castrated" before any idea, concept, action or experiment is enacted! In contrast to this suppression, if Uranus has the upper hand, so to speak, then we can be too outrageous, too eccentric and simply unable to get our point across or find an acceptable median for behavior or communication.
The urge for creative experimentation and individuation at midlife can be stuffed back down inside the psychic womb, just as Ouranos stuffed the Hekatonchires back into the womb of Gaia. And, it would then take an "adamant" personal attitude toward ones' own self to birth the inner urge for creative change.
Howard Sasportas, in The Twelve Houses, says: "Uranus' house may show where we rashly disrespect the limits of our human-ness'. Presuming we can automatically transcend the restrictions of the physical body or 'rise above' the instinctual components of our nature, we commit the sin of hubris and invite punishment to fall on us." [3]
Saturn is the planet that held domain over the entire solar system until 1781 CE, the period of both the French and American revolutions, inaugurating the Industrial Revolution and involved the whole of western civilization as it was then. Prior to that era, social life existed within the bounds of family and cultural limitations. In synchrony with the advent of the "new planet" sighted by astronomer Herschel, there followed decades of phenomenal innovation and discovery. The flourishing of science, technology, philosophy, literature, music, social opportunities and, in virtually every aspect of human life, exploded Western civilization toward liberation, freedom and choice.
Uranus has become the standard bearer now for such terms as liberation, freedom, choice, individuality, uniqueness, innovation, challenge and breaking out of old ways and challenging the status quo. Saturn was and remains the criterion in astrology for the opposite of those values, indeed, is often relegated to a kind of "prison guard" realm. So, it may seem curious that I equate the overthrow of Ouranos/Uranus by Kronos/Saturn with liberation and freedom according to the rote astrological definition of each planet - and call that act the beginning of a new way of being.
With respect to Saturn and Uranus as "celestial sacred" symbols, they are both heavenly in position (in the sky) , but are quite different in symbol. As I mentioned above, Saturn is to do with the realm of the world and its forms. While, Uranus is to do with the ideal of the world and its forms. To propitiate both is the trick. How to acknowledge the perfection of the Ideal, while humanly existing in the realm of the Real? Essentially, we are required, periodically, to give birth to ourselves as if it were a new idea, a new culture, a new mythology.
Naturally, there is an underbelly - a shadow - of the Uranian attribute which also refers back to the origin myth: if we don't trust our ability to render a creation or idea into form (Saturn) we abandon it, abort it, before it can be given birth. In other words we refuse birth of the creation due to its imperfection - just like Ouranos and the Hekatonchires.
In Creation Myths, Jungian analyst Marie Louise Von Franz says about crossing the threshold from the Ideal possible to the Real thing,"People sometimes resist becoming creative because one's would be creativeness is always so much more impressive and important than the little egg on lays in the end when birth takes place!"
It is during such times of high innovation and creativity as adolescence, midlife and the threshold of old age that we have difficulty in the trust of our own creative powers. [5]
One might think that the principles of Uranus overpowering Saturn would be the "new way", but rather the opposite is what happens in our inner life. It is in this paradox that the astrological and therefore psychological struggle for identity lies.
As psychic components, both Saturn and Uranus are needed for wholeness. For innovation to become manifest it requires the adamant sickle of old Kronos - the discipline of matter over mind. The eidolon itself is simply the archetype of Uranus while the Idea takes form with the effort and adamant labor of Saturn. An harmonious equilibrium between both is the substance of progress, evolution and the development of consciousness.
At the midlife threshold, we arrive at a crossroads - at which stands the god of change and the god of stasis. These gods, represented by Uranus/change and Saturn/stasis, begin a dance toward the future.
It is at this very threshold - the doorway between youth and old age - that
we meet many facets of ourself which have remained dormant or sleeping, awaiting
this moment in development for their proper time. It is in this threshold,
this liminal place, where we are not who we used to be, but are not yet
who we are to become. For most extraverted people of this era, this experience
of liminal living is a most uncomfortable and at times, deeply distressing
Because we are exploring the half-Uranus cycle as the gateway to midlife's transition, the sign Uranus is in natally secrets characteristics of the opposite sign as its "unlived life". When any planet in transit comes to the opposition point to itself in the natal chart, a half-cycle is noted. And, as with all half-cycles, it simulates the lunation cycle as a "full planet phase", which allows for the fullness of the experience of that planet to emerge and reflect back the messages and lessons learned. That is, the opposition, or the "half-cycle" is an illumination from the transiting planet and its manifestation of intent as it reflects back to the natal planet its "secret intent".
The fullness of any experience always is in reflection to the things "not
had"; if we long for chocolate cake it is because we haven't had
it in a while. Similarly if we long for something we haven't had for
a while, or ever had perhaps, often it is something that actually does lie
within the realm of possibility, and also, more importantly, within ones own
This potential "thing" that could happen, must lie within the seed of self, or it won't be possible. Facing reality is important here, and so is facing the myriad contexts in which we live out our dreams. If you have never studied the piano, then it is unlikely you will become a concert pianist in midlife - however, if you have always longed to play the piano and learn music, it is certainly something that can be done in midlife and enjoyed.
So, it is the beginning of a time of high potential to carry out a life dream you have always carried within, but time and circumstances have only arrived now to live it. So, if you have nurtured a dream to get a degree or take up a new trade, or travel to foreign places, but so far life has not presented you with the environment or context to fulfil those dreams and at midlife you find yourself in a new life situation (such as, the children have moved on, your partner is supportive, or you are on your own) then it is entirely possible.
Distinguishing between fantasy and dream is important in midlife. Fantasy serves a meaningful function for us - the psyche needs time off, play-time, and fantasies are very healthy for that. They are often not rendered into reality, however, such as in the example of wanting to play the piano but not knowing how does not prevent the psyche from exploring what that would be like. So an elaborate fantasy might be built around playing a complex and beloved piece music at the piano, doing it brilliantly, and basking in the applause at the Metropolitan in New York or the Royal Albert Hall in London. No harm done.
But a dream, ah, that is different. Dreams are often linked to a real potential. Dreams are always good to nurture, while fantasies are to be indulged in. A dream comes true if both Saturn and Uranus are working at optimum. Saturn will remind you what you cannot do, and Uranus will prod you to explore, experiment and to define what it is your genius or daemon is dragging you toward. Between the two agencies, you can harness your creative potential and live it out realistically.
The half-Uranus is a time of awakening to the unlived life and the time to assess your assets and liabilities objectively. Being able to witness yourself and your own true limits and boundaries, while simultaneously appreciating that which is really possible to fulfil is the task assigned at the crossroads. Mediating the gods of "stop" and "go" can generate a very fruitful quest.
Saturn's job is to let you know what your limits and boundaries are, and in that safe, contained place, you can become successful. You might say to yourself, "I can do anything I want, within limits."
So, when your natal Uranus is opposed by transiting Uranus, it is sending you a message, that all the unique traits and characteristics taht you embody but have not yet brought to life, are calling out.
It is obvious that the midlife can bring far too many "unlived" aspects of your life to the fore - hence the panic and angst that are frequently associated with midlife crisis. The creative aspect of Divine Discontent comes most alive at the threshold of midlife, and thence periodically throughout the entire transition.
I have associated Saturn with Divine Discontent, but it is a quality of Uranus
as well.[6] The two planets walk hand in hand on
this journey, and, as mentioned before, Saturn is the planet that defines our
limits, while Uranus is the planet that offers all possibility. Being grumpy
and depressed is not necessarily Divine Discontent, it might simply be being
grumpy and miserable. However, the mood, the tenor and numinosity associated
with Divine Discontent is a prod from the unconscious toward greater creativity,
to find the means to exploit your talent.
[How does the half Uranus return affect different generations? We have selected only a few of Uranus' natal positions which might be interesting for our readers as they deal with the current generations.]
Uranus in Leo has its crossover experience when Uranus transits Aquarius. Since Leo is the archetypal sign of the heart and the child, there are many indications that the first "half" of life is spent playfully and without concern for the collective, but suddenly there is a calling at midlife to nurture the world soul. The polarity of Leo and Aquarius embodies the syzygy of Individualism and Collectivity. That is, You and The Group. Within the social and tribal collective we exist as an individual, but it is only in the context of others that we can define our individuality. The conflict that exists at midlife for the Uranus in Leo is primarily one of finding ones own self within a supportive group, and to begin a process of humanitarian individuation.
Midlife occurs when Uranus enters Pisces and the polarity between serving or suffering on behalf of the world rises to critical mass. Since the most recent Uranus in Virgo group has a majority of individuals who have the Uranus/Pluto conjunction, the quality of their midlife is amplified by this nuclear aspect. Uranus in Virgo is about individuation through the process of being useful, serviceable, helpful and on call for those who suffer. Now, when the half Uranus cycle occurs, there comes a sacrifice to be made that will serve each individual psyche toward its ultimate intent - to sacrifice something deeply personal to the demand of the global ethos. Through inventiveness and "progress" the culture arrives at a time of maximum sacrifice, and in that environment, the Uranus in Virgo generation comes of age. Finding a life purpose through organization and re-culturalization will bring the essence of Uranus in Virgo's ultimate intent in life.
Uranus in Aries is the advent of midlife for those who were born with it in the sign of Libra. As each sign represents an evolution from the previous, and a preparation for the next, it follows that the intent of Uranus in Libra is to find a balance between the individual and the collective. Now, this has been said before with the other signs, because Uranus itself represents the concept of the "one in the many", however, it is especially significant for Libra/Aries. The restoration of the individual rights and prerogatives of each person in balance with a new social order is the key to this individuation process. The first half of life is spent coming to terms with relationships in an intensely personal fashion, while the crossover experience into midlife induces the psychic demand to find ways for all individuals to have a sense of equality, belonging and influence in the world.
When Uranus enters Taurus, and opposes the natal Uranus of those who have it in Scorpio, the shock of "real world" practicality awakens a new impetus for personal growth. Uranus in Scorpio has already spent half its life in a state of mystical and transformative experience, and at midlife must transmute the esoteric intangibles into manifest form. Uranus in Scorpio urges the individual to explore his or her uniqueness and individual self in ways that are often dark and mysterious. The path to self and wholeness involves incorporating the shadow self and, in midlife, acknowledging the purpose of the shadow. This will take the form of dealing with collective shadow material and working with it to integrate the darker aspects of society and the world - and ultimately, to perform a kind of magical transformation for the future. The inner resources of Uranus in Scorpio are profound, drawing on an ancestral level of information. But, the impulse to truly embody the "work of the ancestors" either through good works, teachings or commerce becomes essential to their sense of inner purpose.
