Many players alike were thrilled for Mickelson.
It is funny how things can change.
In 2000, a few years before we had any children, my wife and I vacationed to Orlando. We weren't visiting Disney World. We went saltwater flat fishing and attended the Bay Hill Invitational – now known as the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
A bad storm passed through the day before we went fishing so the saltwater flats became brackish water flats and we basically became tourists with fishing poles for a few hours. We saw some manatees, caught a sea trout or two and I accidentally hooked a blue crab.
When I joked that I went fishing in Florida and all I caught was crabs, the guide was unimpressed with my seemingly funny jokes.
We visited Universal Studios the next day and saw Phil Mickelson and his wife and, at the time, his only child.
We decided to go to the golf tournament on Thursday. We assumed the first day of competition would draw smaller crowds and give us better access. We were right. Several times during the day, we were within a few feet of golfers like Tiger Woods and Mickelson as they made their way around the course.
Mickelson didn't have a great first round. Of course that was the first of four Bay Hill titles in a row for Woods. He has now won the event eight times.
But after the round, he disappeared. He never had anything to say to the gallery and his focus certainly sapped his likability.
Mickelson was the opposite. At the time, Mickelson was known as the best player not to win a major. He finished his day in the middle of the afternoon and went to the putting green to work some things out.
But before he left, he spent more than an hour signing autographs for fans.
We got in that line. At one point, my wife got a little desperate and edged her way in front of the fan-favorite.
She decided to make small talk while handing him my hat to sign. "Did you go to Universal Studios yesterday?" she asked him. When he said he had, she said, "Your wife is beautiful," obviously catching his attention.
He agreed that she was and went ahead and signed my wife's hat as well.
I was already a fan of the lefty. But that impressed me. He didn't seem bothered by the fans. He was having a good time.
After Sunday's incredible comeback to win the British Open, Mickelson is now the best player to win five majors and he has finished second in majors six times.
Many players alike were thrilled for Mickelson. If they couldn't win it, they were just as happy that Mickelson had.
He is just as popular with his opponents as he is the fans.
That tells you something about the guy.
I fished my signed cap out of the closet. It seems wrong not to display it. After all, it is signed by a guy that has won five majors.
I hope to get back to another tournament where Mickelson is teeing it up one day and see how winning five majors has changed his outlook toward signing items for fans.
It can't be the same as it was 13 years ago, but I would love another shot to walk a course alongside him.

Most of the news stories focusing on high school graduation rates trumpet the fact that the rate in New York State has stabilized at 74 percent after a few years of rapid growth.
That satisfies lots of people who don't know better, because the graduation rate apparently justifies the state and federal unfunded curriculum mandates and high-stakes testing program.
That statistic that shows a 74 percent graduation rate statewide is, as with most statistics prepared by political units, is largely misleading.
Lies, damned lies and statistics.
The fact is that many school districts in Nassau County and its environs do far worse and that even in those districts that approach the state average are hiding problems within that number.
The first problem comes to light when looking at the numbers when they are disaggregated by race and economics.
State Board of Regents Chancellor Meryl Tisch expressed her "concern about the low percentage of students graduating college and career ready, especially students of color, English language learners and students with disabilities."
What concerned her was the performance gap between high need and low need districts, with nearly 94 percent of students in low need districts graduating while only 65 percent of students from high need suburban and urban districts earning a high school diploma. The college and career readiness gap is even higher.
In New York City, for example, the graduation rate is 60.4 percent, while the percentage of students the state believes is ready for college or career falls at 44 percent.
Take a look at some of the Nassau County school districts and the problem becomes clear.
Oceanside, for example, graduates 92.6 percent of its seniors. Of those, the state figures that 50.6 percent of those who graduate are ready for either college or a career, based on the number of students who scored 80 percent or better on the Mathematics Regents and 75 or higher on the English Regents. That's what the state calls the "state college preparedness level."

Posted on December 7, 2012
It was evangelist Henry Ward Beecher who inquired "Where is human nature so weak as in a bookstore?" A man who understood temptation was Henry Ward Beecher.
So for every person who took their purchases at the Dredge saying "Well, that's half my shopping list taken care of!" there were three who admitted, "Well, I'm buying this for myself, really." I understand these people and I support their courage in shopping for themselves. (Because that courage sure helps support me.)
Last night was the Associates' Holiday party, or Dredge Party, or The Dredge, as it is sometimes known, and I did try to have a little something for everybody, from the Jingle Cats CD to the Harley-Davidson Cookbook. There was great interest in the paper doll books, with Dennis Rodman handily beating out William and Kate in the popularity contest. The pop-up books were also a big hit, though the pop-up Kama Sutra was left behind, and several people were afraid to open the pop-up book by Stephen King. (In the end, nobody bought the Dennis Rodman book, either.)
We had a full line of literary cookbooks, including cookbooks written pr inspired by Frances Parkinson Keyes, Inspector Maigret, Lord Peter Wimsey, Beatrix Potter, Nicolas Freeling, Margaret Mitchell, Myra Breckinridge, Encyclopedia Brown, and Winnie the Pooh. The Barbie Cookbook did not sell.
I put out a couple of Blog Specials, which is the name I have been giving to books made internationally famous by being featured in this blog. But neither Literary England nor The Blessed Mother Goose made any hearts flutter. I even put out the naughty salt shaker I did my best to make famous on eBay, but could not shock anybody into buying it.
What DID sell was somebody's Perry Como collection: a Christmas CD, two two-disc CD albums of greatest hits, and even a Christmas concert on VHS. A LOT of people who were thinking of just walking past stopped short to look at Perry Como, and three or four of them studied that Christmas concert longingly, wondering aloud if they could even FIND their VCR. (Note to self: next year, Como on DVD.) I don't suppose Dennis Rodman ever even considered the possibility of being less popular than Perry Como, but, based on sales as well as people stopping to look, somebody may have to tell him.
(If you do, and he seems downcast, tell him about the couple browsing in the paper doll books. She exclaimed, "Kate and William! You heard the big news!" Her husband inquired, "Mmmp?" "She's expecting!" "Mmmp," said he. Either he doesn't know how to handle celebrity newsflashes or he was busy studying the different navel rings in the Dennis Rodman paper dolls.)
So a good time was had by all, and if I was surprised at how unexcited people were at the autographs of Judy Collins, Martha Stewart, and Alistair Cooke, I was surprised at how much they loved Perry Como and the Elvis Presley Cookbook (Are You Hungry Tonight?) They sang along on Silent Night, drank egg nog, ate cookies, and bought some really heavy art books. Carols, calories, and commerce: I call it a successful party.

Difference between revisions of "Morgantown (West Virginia)"
Revision as of 22:11, 9 October 2012
Morgantown [2][3] is in Monongalia County, West Virginia and is the county seat. It is home to the West Virginia University Mountaineers. It has been described as the #1 small city in America.
Downtown Morgantown is considered to be the happenin' place. Downtown hosts a lot of events during the year and has many places to dine and shop. [4]
Get in
By plane
By car
Major routes in and out of Morgantown include:
Morgantown is:
By bus
West Virginia University
West Virginia University [8] is home to more than 30,000 students. The annual tuition for residential students is about $5,500 versus an out of state student whose tuition is approximately $17,000. WVU has 13 colleges and schools offering over 190 degrees. There are three campuses within WVU: Downtown, Evansdale, and The Health Sciences. They also offer a study abroad program for students who are interested. The football and basketball teams promote a lot of school spirit to their fellow "mountaineers" when they are playing.
Get around
The Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) provides the primary mode of transportation for students, faculty, and staff of the University and residents of the Morgantown area. There are five station stops; Beechurst, Walnut, Engineering, Towers, and Medical. The PRT's transport between Downtown Morgantown, the WVU Downtown Campus, the Evansdale Campus and the Medical Center Complex Nominal cost to ride across campus. Summer Hours: Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 6:15 p.m.; Saturdays 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The Mountain Line is a public transit bus system providing service in and around the city of Morgantown. The service is free to students, with nominal fares for the public. The city of Morgantown subsidizes the bus system, making the fares very affordable.
If you do not like to travel by public transportation then driving or walking is another option. Since a lot of recreational activities are in close proximity to one another they are easily accessible by car and foot. There is no need to worry about parking. There are four parking garages with a total of 1,600 parking spots in Morgantown. They are located at University Ave and Chestnut Street, Pleasant Street, Spruce Street, and Wharf Street.
Movie Theaters
Arts & Entertainment
Night Life
The Morgantown area has been home to over 30 glass factories over the past 100 years, including Seneca Glass, Monongahela Valley Cut Glass, Mississippi Glass, Pressed Prism Glass, Beaumont Glass, and others. Currently there are only two glass factories left in the area:
Stores include: Aeropostale, American Eagle, Bath & Body Works, Finishline, Forever 21, Gamestop, Gap, Hallmark, Hollister, JCPenney, Kay Jewelers, New York & Company, Pacific Sunwear, Payless, Radio Shack, Sears, Sepencer's, and Victoria's Secret.
Stores include: Sally's Beauty Supply, Maurice's, Petco, TJ Maxx, Old Navy, Target, Giant Eagle, Goody's, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, Dick's Sporting Goods, Barnes & Noble, Sam's Club, Super Wal-Mart, Olive Garden, Cheddar's, Longhorn Steakhouse, Chili's, CiCi's Pizza, Evergreen Buffet
Because Morgantown is home to a major University, downtown Morgantown nightlife thrives for those in their twenties to early thirties. High Street is the main center for bar activity. Similar student activity can be found adjacent to the main WVU campus in "Sunnyside". Don't expect this to apply to the summer months, however.

The Bridge Emergency Shelter, through a contract with the county, opens at 6 p.m. and stays open until 7 a.m. I don't know how many people are out and about at 7 in the morning, but I usually am and it gets cold!
What I am suggesting is, after they build the new high school, let's turn the old high school into a shelter and day labor center that's open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! I read that they are proposing building a new district courthouse! Maybe they could turn that into a shelter for families. Just a thought.

James E. McGuigan Jr., loving husband, beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather died peacefully after a long illness on November 2, 2012.
James E. McGuigan Jr., loving husband, beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather died peacefully after a long illness on November 2, 2012. At the time of his death he was surrounded by his loving family. James was preceded in death by his eldest daughter Michelle McGuigan, his father James E. McGuigan Sr., his mother Lucille McGuigan, and his younger brother Bill McGuigan.
James is survived by his devoted wife of 49 years, Sherrill McGuigan and his four children: James McGuigan III, Sherri McGuigan Blevins and her husband Keith Blevins, Mark McGuigan, and Brian McGuigan; as well as his grandchildren Anne Blevins Rose and her husband Joe, Casey E. Blevins, Matthew J. McGuigan, Chelsea Anne McGuigan, and Michael McGuigan, and his great-grandchildren Olivia Rose, and Joey Rose.
James (Jim) was born in Austin, Texas on February 12, 1944 to James and Lucille McGuigan. After WWII Jim's father moved his family to Newport, Delaware. Jim attended St. Matthew's Catholic School, and then he attended P.S Dupont High School where he excelled in Math, and Science. Jim then enlisted in the Marine Corps. Jim met and fell in love with Sherrill Cantler while attending P.S Dupont. They were married on February 16, 1963.
Jim acquired a love for law enforcement and made that his career. He spent 33 years as a loyal and dedicated police officer, retiring in 2001. Of those years, 28 were with Delaware State Capital Police, where he rose to the rank of Lieutenant. During his tenure at Capital Police, Jim was also the Police Chief of Felton for 13 of those years. A decorated officer, Jim was know by his fellow officers who worked along side, and for him as a man of integrity, dedication, loyalty, honesty, and compassion. Jim was also a humble, and modest hero to many families and individuals. Throughout his career, if he found that there was a family in need of food; that family might find bags of groceries on there front porch on any given morning. If a family or individual was homeless, or in need of financial help, Jim would stop at nothing until shelter was found, or financial services were rendered…even if it meant coming out of his own pocket. He never wanted nor desired any fanfare regarding this. Jim helped so many people over the years. He did so quietly, and discretely.
Jim and his wife Sherrill spent every moment they could in their favorite place…the beach! When both Jim and Sherrill retired they lived at their beach place from April to October of every year. Jim loved and spent many hours on his boat, fishing and cruising the Bay. The beach became their home away from home!
Jim would like to be remembered for being a loyal and loving husband, a dedicated father and grandfather, and for cherishing his family. He was extremely proud of his children, and grandchildren. He was hardworking, fair, honest, and dependable…you could set your watch by him!
The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude To Dr. Theresa Little for being Jim's dedicated physician for over 20 years, and to the amazing nurses and staff at Kent General Hospital who became our father's guardian angels during his last days. The devotion, compassion, and care you showed our father will never be forgotten.
A viewing will be held on Thursday, November 8 from 10 to 11 a.m., in the Faries Funeral Chapel, located at 29 S. Main St. in Smyrna. Funeral services will begin at 11 a.m. Burial will follow in Sharon Hills Memorial Park in Dover, DE. Condolence letters may be sent by visiting www.fariesfuneralhome.com.

U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (MO-08) this morning sent a letter of resignation to Missouri Governor Jay Nixon and notified the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives that today will be her last day serving in Congress.
U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (MO-08) this morning sent a letter of resignation to Missouri Governor Jay Nixon and notified the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives that today will be her last day serving in Congress.
"I am honored to serve the people of the Eighth Congressional District since 1996. They are an outstanding example of the very best our American communities have to offer: smart, strong citizens who are always ready to lead," Emerson said. "At a time when the popularity of Congress hovers in the single digits, it has never been more important for us to instill their virtues in our elected representatives. Congress is the branch of government closest to the people. We must strive to make it representative of us and our national desire to accomplish great things together.
"Tomorrow, I will once again be a constituent of Missouri's Eighth Congressional District. I hope and pray that all we have worked to accomplish will be upheld by the public servants who follow in Bill Emerson's footsteps and in mine. To us, the people of this district have always come before politics. That philosophy of service remains the only way to get good things done on behalf of Southern Missouri and the nation."
The text of Emerson's letters of resignation to Gov. Nixon and Speaker Boehner is attached:
The Honorable Jeremiah W. Nixon
Governor of Missouri
Jefferson City, MO
Governor Nixon:
I write to inform you that I will resign my seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, effective 11:59 p.m., January 22, 2013.
Serving Missouri's Eighth Congressional District for 17 years has been an incredible honor, a welcome challenge, and a deeply rewarding endeavor. I count myself as incredibly fortunate to have represented Americans who are so passionate about the principles of service and community. Our democracy is in good hands thanks to the talent, dedication and civic pride of the proud Americans working every day to improve our Nation and its prospects.
I commend the citizens of my District to you, and I assure you that my trust in the People remains well-placed with those I have had the honor of representing.
Very sincerely,
The Honorable John Boehner
Speaker of the House
Washington, DC
Speaker Boehner:
I write to inform you that I have notified Missouri Governor Jeremiah Nixon of my resignation from the U.S. House of Representatives, effective 11:59 p.m., January 22, 2013.
Serving the Eighth Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives has been the greatest honor of my professional career. I am humbled and grateful for the opportunity to represent Southern Missouri, to bring the ideas of the people to our Capitol, and to be part of our democracy. I have always emphasized the same virtues of the people who sent me here: civility, hard work, integrity and love for our neighbors. I deeply appreciate the way our House of Representatives reflects these important parts of life in our great Nation.
I'm grateful beyond words for the members of my staff, our committees and my fellow colleagues in Congress for their service, guidance and friendship. So many talented individuals work to ensure the House of Representatives reflects the voice and will of the People, and most Americans never see the men and women working long hours to advance policy, to support debate and to conduct meaningful oversight.
Finally, I have to thank the constituents of the Eighth Congressional District. In times of tragedy, they have inspired me with their courage. In times of disaster, they have inspired me with their resilience. In times of uncertainty, they have inspired with me their unwavering optimism. I have been honored to fight by their side. I am very proud of what we have accomplished.
Very sincerely,

I never take a yarnbomb down unless I have to. And yes – I remember having to take that yarnbomb down in front of the Capitol building as the policeman stood next to me muttering " Vandalism . Vandalism ! "
It was time to take down The Oakland Museum of California yarnbombing installation. I had been not thinking about this with a lot of concentration. It took more than 2 weeks to get all the pieces up with many knitters sewing. The installation had been up for 10 weeks with a 4 week extension. It could not be put off.
And I felt guilty about the rain . When we put up the installation I had said a prayer for it to not rain until we took the knitting down. And then it didn't rain .
I decided to make a little film first . I turned on the camera. I walked back and forth filming the yarnbomb. It sat there . It was the boringest film I ever saw. Must think more about film making I started trying to take down the first bannister . It had felted some from being outside in the wind. The stitches were beautifully done , very tight and small. My sewing is crooked and sloppy. I tried cutting them but that cut the knitting. I tried pulling it apart with my fingers. My fingers started to hurt. I thought of slaves picking cotton.
There had do be some way to go faster . I thought of spending the next 7 days standing there pulling out every little stitch.. It came to me to get out my tapestry needle and pull out each stitch with that . That worked pretty well. I tried to make each movement of my hand graceful and easy . Oh ! That worked . Actually it was fun. OK .
Then Betsy Graham showed up . Thank You ! I showed her how to pull straight down with the needle . We got deyarnbombing really fast . She told me about how Steve Jobs didn't bathe.
We got the whole installation down . It was very odd to see something beautiful and unusual go back to being ordinary . The opposite effect of yarnbombing. I miss this art installation. It seems sad that it is all gone . On the other hand I have lots of knitting now to do something big and high risk. So much of art is the pleasure of thinking and imagining about all the great things you might do.
This now is how to take down a yarnbomb , use a tapestry needle and make beautiful relaxed gestures out of each movement.

DENVER - Gov. John Hickenlooper said media outlets took him out of context when he told a U.S. Senate committee this week that he drank hydraulic fracturing fluid.
The comments struck a nerve with environmentalists, who have become increasingly frustrated with the governor for - in their eyes - ignoring the potential pollution from the widely used technique of extracting gas and oil.
Hickenlooper testified Tuesday to the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources about Colorado's regulation and promotion of natural gas. He repeated a story he has told often in Colorado about meeting with Halliburton executives over a rule to require companies to disclose the chemical makeup of their frack fluids.
"We sat down with executives from Halliburton. They have a frack fluid that's made out of food additives. You can drink it. We did drink it around the table, almost ritual-like, in a funny way," Hickenlooper said.
He went on to say that Colorado wrote its rules to protect Halliburton's intellectual property.
"If we were overly zealous in forcing them to disclose what they created, they wouldn't bring it into our state," Hickenlooper said.
The comment drew fire from Conservation Colorado.
"We're astounded that Gov. Hickenlooper would use a national platform to give the impression that frack fluid is safe for public health. The industry has a track record of misleading the public about the fact that its fracking fluid contains numerous toxic chemicals," said Carrie Curtiss, the group's deputy director, in a news release.
Hickenlooper defended his testimony Thursday, saying news reports ignored the context of the discussion on intellectual property.
"It wasn't intended as a political statement. It was intended as a description of the honest efforts the industry's trying to make to have an industrial fluid that is totally harmless to the environment," the governor told reporters.
Halliburton is not using the safe-to-drink frack fluid right now because it's too expensive, he said Thursday.
"I don't think there's any frack fluid right now that I'm aware of that people are using commercially that you want to drink," Hickenlooper said.
Video from his testimony shows Hickenlooper did not mention that the safe frack fluid was not being used in Colorado because of cost.

Junior varsity wins match against Bakersfield Christian
In a battle of unbeaten league teams, Bakersfield Christian proved to be too much for the Taft High varsity tennis team Thursday, winning 6-3. Taft won the JV contest, 7-2.
"Bakersfield Christian was too good at the top," Taft coach Jim Carnal lamented. "Their No. 1, Sullivan Roche, is one of the top four players in the Valley, and their No. 2, Nolan Schuler, is the second-best player in the league."
At No. 1 singles, Roche, a senior, made quick work of junior Rafa Arreguin, 6-0, 6-0. Likewise, Schuler, a senior, wasted little time in beating junior Chuy Gutierrez, 6-0, 6-1. Taft's Matua Iakopo was competitive against Tanner Harris, but still lost, 6-3, 6-4. Taft's Cameron Bunch was outplayed by the cruelly efficient Nicolo Daug, 6-1, 6-2.
Taft earned its wins at the bottom. At No. 5 singles, Cristo Miranda had no problem with Peter Zhang, 6-1, 6-2. At No. 6, Brayan Herrera outlasted Joe Cao, 7-6 (10-8), 2-6, 10-6.
With the match still unsettled after the singles round, Bakersfield Christian coach Frank Thiessen was forced into the rare position of having to play his top players in doubles.
Taft won the No. 3 doubles handily with Kyler Fields and Oscar Martinez dominating Brad Robinson and David Porter, 6-3, 6-1. But BCHS won the top two doubles and the match. Roche and Harris beat Gutierrez and Iakopo, 6-0, 6-2. Schuler and Daug beat Arreguin and Miranda, 6-2, 6-2.
Taft dropped to 14-3 overall and 6-1 in the South Sequoia League. Bakersfield Christian improved to 12-6 overall and 7-0 in the SSL.
The story was reversed in the JV match with Taft sweeping the top games and losing just the two bottom doubles.
Isaiah Sharp beat Brandon Vincent, 6-0, 6-1. Brian Ortega beat Laurens Gibson, 6-1, 6-2. Samuel Kendrick beat Zack Banducci, 6-2, 6-0. Justin Covington beat Connor Murrey, 6-0, 6-3. Phuc Nguyen beat Nick Cecela, 6-1, 6-4. And, Elver Zavala beat Cody Allen, 6-1, 6-1.
At No. 1 doubles, No. 2 Ortega and No. 3 Kendrick beat No. 1 Vincent and No. 2 Gibson, 8-3. But at No. 2 doubles, Number 1 Sharp and No. 9 Pedro Martinez lost to No. 3 Banducci and No. 5 Cecela, 8-2. At No. 3 doubles, George Hartley and Kaleb Harlan lost to Luis Soto and Herman Santor, 6-1, 6-3.
Taft's JV improved to 11-1 overall and 5-0 in the SSL.

olyfan63 wrote:Haven't read this John Morgan guy's stuff, but the way people talk about him reminds me of a guy back in college who I served in student government with. I was 17, he was 35ish, and I kind of looked up to him. However, it seemed he was always starting battles. He had some great insights, but he was never wrong about anything, and went to great lengths to "prove" that he was the only right, pure and just individual in existence, and the rest of us were just corrupt minions if we didn't agree with him. It was interesting and kind of exciting at the time, and I could see many of his points. After a drawn-out battle where he leveled personal attack after personal attack at people I liked and respected, he eventually chose to resign in a very dramatic huff because he wasn't getting his way. 30 years later, I look back on this person, knowing what I now know, and I'd say that guy from 30 years ago shows a lot of traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
A local political parallel is the saga of elected Pierce county treasurer Dale Washam. You can read about him here: http://www.thenewstribune.com/washam/
TNT: "The tenure of Dale Washam, Pierce County Assessor-Treasurer, has turned a minor government office into a fountain of perpetual controversy: six independent investigations; five claims for damages; a recall campaign; charges of violating the county ethics code; and a resolution from the Pierce County Council that declares no confidence in Washam and asks him to resign..
The investigations state that Washam retaliated against his employees, violated their rights, wasted government resources, abused his power and hindered the inquiries. Costs of those investigations and other legal matters tied to Washam's office exceed $412,000. The county has settled the damage claims for a collective total of $1.13 million."
When I see a sequence of events with those kinds of parallels, like the ones Kearly describes, especially involving over-the-top attacks on others and covert retaliation, I just expect that there is some sort of personality disorder (Narcissistic PD, Borderline PD, Antisocial PD) involved somewhere. These people create drama and conflict wherever they go. They are very clever and know how to tie legal/personnel types of systems in knots. They can also be very brilliant in their areas of specialty, so much so that they get an inflated sense of their capability and start assuming they have gifts and talents in *every* area and they are infallible and the rest of us are a bunch of idiots. They get away with a lot of their crap because normal people don't want to believe another human would really do the stuff they pull.
This is part of why I was very skeptical about the Richard Sherman failed test and the violation of testing procedures. A frustrated sociopath with Narcissistic or Borderline Personality Disorder would have no problem creating a false positive and they would do it for the excitement and drama and rush of power. If you've ever been on the receiving end of a "Distortion Campaign" from a Borderline or Narcissist, these people will do anything to damage others they feel stand in their way, and concoct elaborate schemes, destroy and falsify evidence, etc. A little more about distortion campaigns is here: http://angiemedia.com/2008/12/29/bpd-di ... campaigns/ The problem you will have on the receiving end is that many "normal" people will simply refuse to believe that another human could do the things that are being done to you, and will conclude that YOU must be the crazy one, to make up these stories. (look at how things went down with Sherman, he got called a cheater, had phony stories made up about his denials, etc. Even though Sherman has congruently denied the allegations and phony stories from day one, there are posters on this board *still* acting as if those phony stories are true, calling Sherman names.) Borderlines and Narcissists are behind a majority of high-conflict divorces. These issues are rampant in hotly contested family court cases. If not in the ex, good possibility in their attorney, influencing the ex to act that way. Some experts estimates are that about 10% of the (U.S.) population has one of these types of personality disorders or other mental health issues that result in behavior that can only truly be labeled as sociopathic. When you see this type of conflict and drama, start looking for the mental health issues, educate yourself about what you are dealing with, and protect yourself.

SeaTown81 wrote:cdallan wrote:Morgan wrote an article which explains his condition.
What was his condition? Being a massive egotistical ass hole?
I don't give 2 rips what his excuse was. The guy is a certifiable sociopath.
And I never thought he was a good writer to begin with. He did more in the way of telling you about how great he was than prove it. No offense to those who enjoyed his work. But I think it was all a massive con game. His best skill was praising himself and attracting impressionable readers.
FG is so much better now, it's not even funny. SB Nation's tablet-minded format really is a shame.

Kim McClellan and Josh Bugbee act like any other couple navigating the ropes of sharing the same living quarters – they cook dinner together and squabble over who does the dishes. But there is one discernible difference: They're not married.
And they're increasingly not alone.
About 7.7 million couples cohabited in 2010, making up about 6.6 percent of the population nationally and 6.2 percent of Colorado's population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That's a substantial increase compared with the 5.5 million couples, or 5.2 percent of the population nationally, that cohabited in 2000.
Cohabiting – living together outside of marriage – has increased since 1970, but some experts say it isn't a good idea.
Couples who cohabit before getting engaged or married do not have as strong marriages as those who don't, said Scott Stanley, a research professor of psychology at the University of Denver.
McClellan said she isn't worried.
"We're comfortable enough in our relationship that living together has helped us. It's a sneak peek before we're tied down and married," she said. "Living with someone before getting married is a trial run."
It just makes sense
McClellan, 27, and Bugbee, 29, have always wanted to live in Colorado, and they finally made the move to Durango a few months ago after McClellan got a job as a librarian at Fort Lewis College.
"We moved here to be together, so it wouldn't have made sense to live in separate places," McClellan said. "(Marriage) is definitely in the future, but right now … we're both really happy with the way things are, and financially, it doesn't make sense for us to do it. We'd rather be financially in a good place where we can afford a wedding and a honeymoon."
Lauren Collett and Scott Price have been living together for about 3½ months and decided to make the move so they could spend more time together rather than constantly commute between each other's homes.
Price bought the home they now share. Collett, 24, says the monthly mortgage is about the same amount they'd pay per month renting a home.
"We'd just been dating for a while, and we like spending time with each other," Collett said. "It seemed like the right next step."
Changing generations
Younger generations no longer seem to face the traditional stigma associated with living with a significant other outside wedlock, but that doesn't mean grandparents and parents are on board.
Indeed, cohabitation was illegal in every state until about 1970, according to a U.S. News and World Report article.
Dana Haug's family was less than thrilled when she moved in with her boyfriend and now husband, Jeramie Haug, when they were 19, she said.
The two were best friends in high school before dating after graduation, she said. They decided to make the move rather than continue sneaking into each other's rooms at night.
"My parents were not supportive because of my culture," said Dana, who is a Buddhist. "His mom didn't like the idea at all, but then she got over it because we proved to her that we could do it. She didn't think we could financially do it."
Collett's parents warned her that cohabiting is a big step to take in the relationship, but they were not against the idea, which came as a bit of a surprise, she said.
"My parents were married before they moved in together, and I think that they got married because they wanted to move away and go to school and live together," Collett said. "That was just a different time. They got married very young."
Research shows couples are waiting until they are older to get hitched. The average age of marriage for both men and women has risen almost every year since 1970, according to census data. The average age at first marriage for a male in 1970 was about 23, and the average age for a woman was about 21. In 2011, the average age for a man was about 29 and about 26 for a woman.
McClellan, who has been dating Bugbee for about a year and a half, said she believes couples should live together before tying the knot because "there's so much that goes into it."
It makes sense for people to have a trial period before jumping into a marriage, said FLC associate psychology professor Brian Burke, who lived with his wife for about three years before they married.
"There is a very large difference between living together and dating. If you don't get through it, it's a sign that you're maybe not compatible," he said. "You learn things about each other when living together that you wouldn't have known otherwise. We all have quirks that you try to hide as much as possible when you're dating."
Cohabiting: A couple's downfall?
Most couples do not talk about what moving in together means for their relationship, DU professor Stanley said. That's why couples who move in after they are engaged tend to do better in their marriage because both individuals are on the same page for where the relationship is headed.
"Cohabiting makes it harder to break up. You're buying stuff together, you may have a child together even though you never decided to start building a family or a life together " he said. "Those things take on weight or inertia that keeps some (couples) together longer than they otherwise would have, and for some people, it propels them all the way into marriage."
Local psychotherapist Nicole Fuller, who counsels couples, says she disagrees that cohabiting before getting engaged or tying the knot leads to an unhappy marriage.
"The fact that a marriage either succeeds or fails has to do with a lot more than just living together," she said. "Couples that live together prior to getting married have a far better chance in longevity in marriage because they know what to expect."
Like many couples living together, the Haugs decided to combine their finances into one joint account when they first moved in together, and Dana Haug said it has never been an issue.
"It was very comfortable because we knew each other really well before we dated," she said. "We didn't have any problems, and he honestly let me have the control over (the money) and trusted me to do that."
McClellan and Bugbee also combined bank accounts when they moved to Durango, where they currently live rent-free as caretakers of a house.
Others, though, may realize their incompatibility while still locked in a lease, Burke said, and that's when things get tricky.
If a suddenly single cohabitant can sublet a room and make it work financially, that's the best thing to do.
"Otherwise, you have to make it work. You can come up with schedules, especially if you're fighting, and that can minimize contact," he said.

Can Missouri afford to expand Medicaid coverage, as the Affordable Care Act calls for?
Can it afford not to?
Those questions were posed to Ryan Barker, vice president for health policy for the Missouri Foundation for Health.
Can Missouri afford to expand Medicaid coverage, as the Affordable Care Act calls for?
Can it afford not to?
Those questions were posed to Ryan Barker, vice president for health policy for the Missouri Foundation for Health.
"We do not lobby," said Barker, who added that the bylaws of the foundation prohibit it from doing any more than research and education on such topics as the Affordable Care Act.
Barker has been discussing the pros and cons of expanding Medicaid to low-income parents and low-income childless adults, but took no position on whether the Missouri Legislature should change its mind and join other states in that expansion.
Medicaid is not a subject that grabs the typical reader's or listener's interest, but here s a quick review of what it is and where it came from, followed by Barker's explanation of why the state is faced with the question of expanding the program.
Medicaid started along with Medicare as part of Title XIX of the 1965 Social Security Act.
Medicare is a federal program, while Medicaid was meant to be a program for the so-called "disadvantaged," or those living below poverty.
Medicaid is jointly run by the states and the federal government, so every state's Medicaid program is different. Missouri's Medicaid program is called MoHealthNet, a change in name that occurred in 2007.
Missourians enrolled in Medicaid number 900,000 (of 6 million population). That is a little less than the national average. About 58 million people nationally are covered by Medicaid.
Medicaid is focused on specific population groups: Single parents with dependent children and the aged, blind and disabled.
Eligibility for Medicaid benefits is determined by income in relation to the federal poverty line.
Missouri is one of the most generous states in its benefits for children, Barker said. Children 0-18 are eligible if their families make 300 percent of the federal poverty level.
However, their parents are eligible only if they make 18 percent or less than then federal poverty level.
Pregnant women receive benefits if their income is no more than 185 percent of the federal poverty level.
Blind people are eligibility if they make 100 percent of the federal poverty level.
Blind and disabled people are eligible at 85 percent of the federal poverty level.
What is the 2013 federal poverty level? For a single person it is $11,490; a couple, $15,510; a family of three, $19,530, and a family of four, $23,550.
Single people with no children are not eligible for Medicaid.
Why is Medicaid expansion in the news, and why is it being discussion at town hall meetings? A Supreme Court case is the reason.
After the Affordable Care Act was passed and signed by the president, 26 states sued for two reasons.
One is well-known, the individual mandate. That is the requirement that after 2014 everyone must be covered by health insurance. The states argued the government could not force American citizens to buy insurance; the Supreme Court upheld the government's right to do so.
The states also sought a ruling on the act's requirement that states expand Medicaid to everyone or risk the federal government taking away all funding for the program.
The high court ruled that Medicaid expansion must be optional for the states; it also ruled that the federal government can't take all existing funding from the states.
"Whether you like it or not, the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land," Barker said.
The act will expand health insurance coverage, through health insurance exchanges and Medicaid expansion to 32 million of the 48 million uninsured people in the United States.
Those who will note be insured after Obamacare gets into full swing are certain immigrants and people who will choose to pay a fine rather than sign up for insurance.
Health exchanges will be ways for individuals and small businesses to buy private insurance and be a part of a pool.
Large pools of 100 or more keep down the costs of insurance premiums. That's why more than 95 percent of large employers offer health insurance to employees, while only 43 percent of small employers do, Barker said.
The exchanges will build large pools to spread risk and stabilize cost. Missouri is not going to administer a health insurance exchange; instead, it will let the federal government administer an exchange for the state, Barker said.
Health insurance exchanges are supposed to open Jan. 1, 2014, to individuals and small businesses. Premium subsidies will be available for individuals and families who enter the health insurance exchange. A family of four making between $23,550 and $31,322 (that's 100-133 percent of the federal poverty level) will pay 2 percent of the income for health insurance premiums. A family of four making $70,650-$94,200 (300-400 percent of the poverty level) will pay 9.5 percent of income as a premium for health insurance.
The expansion of Medicaid would expand the benefits to all non-Medicaid individuals and families making up to 133 percent of the federal poverty line. This would increase the benefits available to parents (now limited to 18 percent) and to single non-parents (not eligible at all currently).
In states offering both Medicaid expansion and exchange subsidies, there is overlapping in the 100-133 percent of poverty level. Missouri's decision not to expand Medicaid will mean parents and childless adults will continue to be uncovered by insurance.
The federal government will pay 100 percent of the Medicaid expansion costs from 20140-2016, then lower that each year until it is paying 90 percent by 2020.
If Missouri were to participate in the Medicaid expansion, its share of funding would be $30.1 million from general revenue in 2017, plus $23.9 million from other funding sources. By 2021, those figures would rise to $143.3 million from general revenue and $115.6 million from other sources.
There are estimated millions in savings if more people are covered by Medicaid, as well as more revenue from federal payments.
Barker said the impact on general revenue will be increases that grow to $39.8 million in fiscal year 2017, then diminish to $4.3 million in fiscal year 2021 and then turn into losses each year.
Some of the arguments for expanding Medicaid include the closing of the coverage gap that leaves low-income working Missourians uninsured. This is sometimes called the ethical reason.
In addition, the act calls for the reduction or ending of DSH funding to hospitals that have a disproportionate share of hospital healthcare funding that is never paid back by patients. This will primarily affect rural hospitals, such as those in Rolla and Salem, he said.
There should also be some growth in jobs and state revenue with the expansion, he said, citing studies by statewide organizations.
Arguments against the expansion include the cost, the fact that Medicaid is a broken system that needs to be revamped and the possibility that Congress can stop funding once the program begins and the states are on the hook.
The Missouri Foundation for Health encourages all Missourians to communicate with their legislators about Medicaid expansion.
