"Did you get some cock today?" my husband asked me.
"Yes," I hissed in reply and his hand slipped between my legs, his fingers curling into my moistness. We were curled up in bed, the kids asleep, the dog snoring on the floor.
"Tell me about it," he said and I felt him stiffen against my leg. Automatically I moved against him, encouraging his passion. I knew what the night held for me and felt my pussy opening in anticipation.
"I met him at the supermarket," I whispered into his ear, "Just doing some grocery shopping. We needed the freezer filled up and cleaning stuff. Oh, and I planned to do some baking at the weekend."
"Cathy!" he insisted.
I smiled to myself, the teasing was part of the deal, at least for me. Ron knew it too and reached over to squeeze my nipple, hoping that further arousal would speed me up. I let out a little groan as he twisted my quickly hardening flesh.
"He was quite a little guy. Young, maybe eighteen. Blonde hair. Cheeky grin. That's what caught my eye."
"Did he come on to you?"
"Well, I had five bags of shopping and should have used the trolley to take them to the car, but decided to carry them. I was struggling to get my keys to open the boot and he just appeared from behind me and offered to help."
"Out of nowhere?"
"Well, I'd noticed him in the shop, but didn't think he was interested in me."
"But you were interested in him?"
"Oh yeah, like I said, he was cute. But I see ten cute guys a day, Ron. Not all of them make a move on me."
"What did he say?"
"Oh, just asked if he could hold my bags while I found my keys and then he helped put the bags into the boot. I think he spotted me looking at his crotch because then he asked if I'd need a hand to unload the bags when I got home."
"You brought him here?"
"Sure, I didn't think you'd mind, the kids were at school. Anyway, I kind of pointed at my wedding ring and he said 'Well, if your husband's home he can always help you unload' and I said you weren't home and I'd greatly appreciate him helping me when I got home if he had the time to spare."
I ran my fingers through the hair on Ron's chest. "I was wearing that short denim skirt and he never took his eyes off my legs all the way home."
"Didn't try anything in the car?"
"No, I don't think he was quite sure of my intentions, despite his cocky manner. Was he just a young guy helping out an older woman, or was this his lucky day."
"But you made it his lucky day."
"Oh yeah." I reached Ron's nipple and twisted his with as much vigour as he'd mauled mine. It was a thing he liked and his fingers dug deeper inside me.
"What was his name?" he asked.
"Oh, Charlie. Nice kid, student. Anyway, I got him in the house with the promise of a drink of something and he seemed to lose his nerve totally. Sitting at the table, sipping his cola, his eyes never leaving me, but doing nothing about it."
"Kids," Ron grunted.
"You've got to try and understand what he was thinking honey. If he made a move and I protested he could be in a lot of trouble."
"I suppose," Ron agreed, "So what did you do?"
"Oh, just the usual stuff, brushing against him, bending over so he could look up my skirt. I was wearing a little thong so he definitely got an eyeful of my ass. Certainly got his cock stirring. I could see it starting to bulge in his trousers."
My confession was working on Ron too, his cock was hardening wonderfully against my thigh and he gripped my boob tightly. "It must have been big then, for you to see it," he said.
He was being too quick for me, eager to get to the serious business, but I was having none of it. "Wait," I whispered. By way of compensation I brushed my hand over his cock and he moaned gently. He lowered his head and flicked at my nipple with his tongue.
"His cock was just showing a little, a small bulge but definitely something there. I was getting wet thinking about it. I wanted to see it, to touch it, to suck it, but he wasn't making any advances."
"You should have ripped your panties off, he'd have got the message then."
"Really, Ron, I'm a respectable married woman and I don't behave like that."
"You're a slut."
"Yes, dear, but I'm your slut."
This made him bite down on my nipple and I started. "What did you do?" he asked, his finger parting the lips of my pussy.
"Well I was all done with flaunting myself at him, so I decided to try the compliments route. Telling him what a handsome young man he was, stuff like that."
"And did he get the message?"
"Nope, the dope just sat there and grinned."
I could feel his cock beginning to wilt. "This isn't sounding like the wild sexual adventure I'd hoped to hear about."
I gripped his cock and squeezed it just below its bulbous head. "Wait. It gets better," I promised.
"It had better," he growled, "This kid doesn't sound like much. How he could resist you flaunting your ass at him I don't know."
"Not everybody is as lecherously horny as you are, sweetheart," I said and gave him a peck on the lips. "Do you want me to suck you instead?"
"No, keep talking."
I shifted myself onto my side to face him, which made it awkward for him feeling me up front. He switched his hand round to my back and started stroking it.
"So I asked him if he had a girlfriend and when he said no, I asked him if he fancied some pussy then."
"You asked him, just like that?"
"Hey, I was getting desperate, I was dripping."
"So what did he do?"
"Nothing, just stared at me like I was crazy. Now you know I don't like to make the running but I said, 'My husband's working, my kids are at school, and I need some cock'. And then I walked over to him, pulled up my skirt, grabbed his head and buried it in my crotch."
That caught Ron's attention and his cock reared in my hand. "I don't believe you."
"I swear," I insisted "I'd just run out of ideas on how to get a reaction out of this kid."
Ron's finger slipped down to the crack of my ass, making me shiver. "That's my girl."
"Anyway, he got the message that I wasn't winding him up and started rubbing his face into my pussy. His nose was going up my slot and I pulled his head into me and ground my crotch against him."
Ron's finger found my asshole and he circled it gently. That always made me purr and I shoved against him, clamping his thigh between mine.
"Go on," he hissed, his voice impatient with lust.
"Well, basically, he fucked me," I said but Ron was having none of my reticence. He jabbed his finger up my butt, making me squirm. "Tell me," he ordered, "All the filth, all the disgusting things you did with this poor, young guy."
"Well, I had to drag him upstairs because the curtains were wide open and I'd already taken a chance by lifting my skirt and rubbing his face in my minge."
"You brought him up here? To our bedroom?"
"In this very bed. I pushed him down, unzipped his fly and pulled his cock out."
Ron's cock stiffened even more. "Big one?" he asked.
"No, not really. A bit shorter than yours and a lot thinner."
"Were you disappointed?"
"No, a cock's a cock when you're horny enough, and I was gagging for it."
"So you got what you wanted?"
I smiled at the memory. "Eventually. I stroked his dick a little before popping it into my mouth. I hadn't been sucking for more than a minute when I realised I'd made a big mistake. He grabbed my head and started fucking my face like a madman and before I could even tell him to slow down he was coming into my mouth. Great spurts of the stuff, like he hadn't shot off in months.
The thought of a young man coming into his wife's mouth was obviously pleasing Ron. He pushed me onto my back and started massaging my clit, spreading my lips, opening me wider. "So you didn't get fucked?"
"Oh, sure I did. Young guy like that was ready for another crack at it in about ten minutes and this time I told him I'd invited him home for a fuck, not a blow-job."
Ron's fingers had established that I was ready to be mounted and he levered himself on top of me, his cock automatically finding my entrance and sliding in. He gave a satisfied sigh as I raised my legs and moved very subtly in and out of me. I'd hoped for a longer build-up, with sucking and licking but his meat felt so good inside me that I wasn't complaining.
"Was he a good fuck?" Ron asked into my ear.
"The usual performance you'd expect from an inexperienced young man," I replied, shifting myself to get more comfortable under my husband. "Far too eager, desperate to get inside me, but I slowed him down and got him to go down on me. He wasn't too clever at that either, thought I wanted stabbed in the pussy with his tongue."
"You usually like that."
"Yes, eventually. But first I need the lips licked open and my clitty teased, you know that."
"And did you get the guy to do what you wanted?"
"Only by swinging round to give him a sixty nine."
"Dangerous, he could have come in your mouth again."
"Oh, I warned him that I wanted fucked this time and I spent a lot of time just licking his shaft rather than working on the head of his cock or chewing his balls."
Ron's rhythm was building up, his tempo increasing and the feeling of his long, thick, shaft driving in and out of me was having the desired effect. I let out a muted groan.
"Slow down, baby," Ron urged.
"I can't help it," I squeaked, my fingernails running down his back, "It's too good."
"Tell me about the guy fucking you."
"Well, after we'd done the oral thing for a while, and I realised I was never going to come with his tongue I swung round and straddled him. He had got me rather wet with his spit and he just slipped right in. Made a change from his tight, young, girlfriends I bet, a mature sloppy pussy."
"Doesn't feel sloppy to me, feels lovely."
I jerked my hips up at him for the compliment. "Only because you've got a big, fat, cock that fills me up. You've got to remember that he had a pretty skinny cock."
"You should have taken him up your ass then."
"Hey, ladies don't take it up the pooper on a first date. I did think about it, but decided he was too inexperienced for advanced techniques. And some young guys get grossed out when you suggest a bit of anal, like it's some kind of perversion. Anyway, it was nice, just bouncing on him."
"Last longer this time."
"A little. I didn't get off or anything, but I suppose that's asking too much."
"You've come with young guys before."
"Yeah, but that's down to the excitement factor. Some guys just get me so horny that it's a cakewalk getting my rocks off. This guy was just a casual fuck so I wasn't expecting much. Still, he lasted long enough for me to get under him and have him fuck me like a man."
"Good old missionary, you can't beat it."
"You certainly can't." And I dug my fingernails into my husband's ass and urged him into me. He responded with renewed vigour, his pubic bone bouncing off my engorged clit, and within seconds the first starburst of my orgasm hit me. I gave a fevered shiver as Ron continued pounding me.
"Nice," I moaned.
He lifted my legs and placed them on his shoulders. I was wide, gaping, my pussy stretched to the limit. It wasn't really what I wanted, I'd have preferred to turn over and have him fuck me from behind, but I could sense that he wasn't in the mood for that. He wanted to hear me talk about my infidelity.
"So, tell me about Charlie boy fucking you."
"Lot of energy. Might have had a thin cock but he went at it like a rabbit. The sweat was dripping off him, splashing on my tits. He had a skinny body too and there wasn't much of him to hold on to but I'll give him his due, he gave me a good work-out."
"How was he taking all this, your young man?" Ron asked suddenly. "It can't be every day he gets to screw a married woman."
"There wasn't a lot of conversation, Ron. Apart from me telling him not to spunk in my mouth again."
"But he spunked in your pussy?"
"Oh yeah, another huge load. I don't where it came from after the blast he'd already given me but I suspect it's because I stuck my finger up his scrawny little ass."
"You did what?"
"It was a matter of time, honey. I happened to look over at the clock and realised the kids would be home from school soon and I needed to get him off me and out of the house. So I stuck my finger up his ass to make him come. I don't think he'd ever had that before because he had the strangest look on his face when I did it."
Ron stifled a laugh. "You're supposed to be turning me on, not doing a comedy routine."
"It was pretty funny, I guess, but it worked. He came like a fire hose. Soaked the sheets and everything."
"And you got him out before the kids got back."
"Oh sure. Even had time to change the sheets and have a quick shower."
"So, it was worth it?"
"I suppose, but he was just another little fling. I taught him a few things and I hope his future girlfriends will appreciate it. He might even marry one and have a horny MILF of his own some day."
And Ron exploded inside me as I came again.

Lori Alexander
From OpenCongress Wiki
|This profile of a former 2008 candidate for Virginia's U.S. congressional district 11 is part of the "Wiki the Vote" project.
Things you can do:
|See all the Virginia members of Congress, candidates and blogs at the Virginia portal.
Lori Alexander is a wife and mother of four children. She grew up in a single family household with five siblings in the low income area of Lowell, Massachusetts and, at that time, her only option was to attend school in the projects. Lori knows what it is like to be educated in failing schools because, unfortunately, many of the instructors at her school had "written off" the students before they even entered the classroom. Lori explains, "I was told my entire life that higher education was not for people like me, so I attended a Vocational High School to train as a secretary." After graduation, Lori was hired as an executive secretary for Raytheon and a new world opened up to her.
Work Experience & Education
"When I started working for Raytheon, I set aside what I was told as a young girl about college and gained the confidence to seek higher education." Lori initially was forced to take several non-credit college math courses because her high school had not properly prepared her for college. To improve her English skills, Lori challenged herself by reading as much as possible.
Lori entered the electrical engineering program at Fitchburg State and, ultimately, was accepted into Boston University's Sargent College as a human physiology major. Lori's hard work was rewarded when Boston University gave her an academic and need-based scholarship. During her years at Boston University, Lori attended college full-time, worked part-time, and raised her young son as a single parent. Lori understood then what she still knows today, in her words, "I could not have graduated without the generosity of Boston University."
In 1994, Lori became the first college graduate in her family when she received a bachelor's degree from Boston University. Lori's strong desire to improve the functioning of people with disabilities, both young and old, led her to pursue a Master of Science in physical therapy. After graduating from Boston University, Lori took a position with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
"Working at the Mayo Clinic was an outstanding experience; I learned that all people, regardless of their means, can and should receive superior health care in this country." When Lori lived in Boston, she volunteered many hours for Boston University and at her son Joe's school but, in Rochester, she became more active in giving her time. Lori traveled to Umtata, South Africa, to donate her time and physical therapy skills to help the underserved. She also became deeply involved in environmental issues mainly through her work with the Sierra Club.
According to Lori, "I started to see what we were doing to the environment and felt it was my duty to put the maximum effort into making the world a better place for my son and everyone in his generation and beyond." Ultimately, Lori became the director of the Southern Minnesota Chapter of the Sierra Club.
It was also in Rochester that Lori met her husband, Brian. Lori and Brian were married at Saint Cecilia Catholic Church in Boston and move in 2001 to the Mount Vernon area where her husband Brian had grown up. Lori and Brian were blessed with three additional children, Wesley 6, Caitlin 5, and Haile 3 and are parishioners of Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Mount Vernon. Even with Lori's busy schedule, she continues to practice as a physical therapist and donate her time in the Mount Vernon area. "I have lived in the 11th District for seven years and care deeply about Northern Virginia and the people who live here."
Lori has worked for the Democratic Party since she was nine years old and, in Minnesota, she worked tirelessly on Senator Paul Wellstone's campaign, Senator Mark Dayton's campaign, and Vice-president's Al Gore's bid for the presidency. After moving to Virginia, Lori volunteered to assist in her Democratic state representatives' campaigns. In 2005, Lori traveled to Da Nang, Viet Nam, where she volunteered her time to assist with the evaluation, treatment, and training of physical therapist in an extremely poor area of that Country. Lori continues to promote health care and environmental issues in the Commonwealth and at the national level.
Political Issues
But Lori wants to do more. "Deciding to run for Congress was easy for me; I was looking for a position where I could have a greater impact on the issues I care deeply about." Lori understands that the 11th Congressional District is shifting and that Northern Virginia is in the forefront of a wave of political change sweeping this Country. "As Democrats, we all know it is time for a Democratic presidency and congress to reverse the substantial damage President Bush has done to the United States. We know that our troops need to come home from Iraq. We know that it is critical to stay vigilant in fighting against the terrorist threat while safe guarding our personal liberties. We know that maintaining a healthy economy and full employment is paramount. We know that we must come together to reform immigration in this country. We also know that we need to care for those who are having trouble caring for themselves." Lori has pledged to work in all of these areas.
Lori has also pledged to focus her efforts on health care, for the retirees, for the poor, for those that do not have a voice against the powerful, health care special interests. As a mother, Lori knows that it is of the utmost importance for her to focus her energy on those issues that impact the world we will leave to our children and grandchildren. "Health care, education and the environment are supremely important to me; we can do far better for our children in these areas and I intend to make this goal my mission."
Lori wants you to join her in a quest to make real change for the people in the community. Moreover, according to Lori, we can reach these goals by focusing on the needs and issues of the 11th congressional district, not the special interests. Lori asks you to "please vote in the June 10th primary for the Best Choice for Change."
Lori Alexander for Congress
P.O. Box 167
Mount Vernon, VA 22121

Name: Annabelle Capaccio
Age: 10
Grade: Fifth
School: The Country School
Accomplishments: Annabelle began learning to knit at the age of six when she attended a program at the Guilford Free Library. Now, four years later, she has taught the knitting club at the Country School. Her specialty? How to do single finger knitting, no needles required.
Key to Awesomeness: What keeps Annabelle knitting? The change of seasons is key. In the winter, finger knitting keeps her hands warm as she works with wool, stitching right on her fingers. In the summer, she switches to knitting with needles because the needles are cool to the touch.

Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) program
Remote Jobs and Communities Program (RJCP)
From 1 July 2013 the Australian Government's new Remote Jobs and Communities Program (RJCP) will provide a more streamlined and flexible approach to employment, participation and community-development services in 60 remote regions across Australia.
The new program builds on the strengths of four existing programs: Job Services Australia (JSA), Disability Employment Services (DES), the Indigenous Employment Program (IEP) and the Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) program.
For further information on the RJCP, please visit the RJCP page or the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations website.
For information regarding the review of remote participation and employment services and the consultation process behind the reform of the CDEP program, go to the DEEWR website.
CDEP Transition Support
On 18 June 2013 the Australian Government announced transitional support for CDEP providers.
To ensure a smooth transition to the RJCP in remote regions, the Government is providing a two-month extension of funding for organisations currently delivering CDEP, which are not continuing as the lead RJCP provider in the region. CDEP organisations that are involved in sub-contracting to the lead RJCP provider will also have their funding extended. For further information on transition support in remote regions visit the RJCP page.
In non-remote locations outside the RJCP remote regions, CDEP providers will have their existing CDEP funding agreements extended for up to 12 months.
CDEP program in non-remote Locations
There are currently eight CDEP providers in locations outside the RJCP remote regions:
CDEP provider
Non-remote community
Tangentyere Council Incorporated
Alice Springs
Flinders Island Aboriginal Association Incorporated
Cape Barren Island, Lady Barron and Whitemark
Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire Council
Murdi Paaki Regional Enterprise Corporation Limited
Collarenebri, Coonamable, Gulargambone, Lightning Ridge, Mungindi and Walgett
Griffith Skills Training Centre Incorporated
Lake Cargelligo
Cairns Regional Community Development and Employment Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation
Mount Garnet
Buyinbin Aboriginal Corporation
Muli Muli, Baryulgil and Malabugilmah
Central Queensland Indigenous Development Limited
The extension of CDEP funding in these locations will ensure that CDEP participants remain involved in community activities and, if they are eligible, continue to receive CDEP wages from 1 July 2013. In many communities CDEP participants are integral to the delivery of services that are important to the community and the Government does not want these services to be disrupted.
During the 12 months to 30 June 2014, the Australian Government will engage with the eight CDEP organisations and their communities to work out the approach to deliver employment and participation services in these locations.
The Government recognises the important contribution made over the years by local CDEP organisations. It will provide expert financial and business planning advice to these organisations through the Office of the Registrar of Aboriginal Corporations (ORIC) appointed expert advisors.
In the non-remote CDEP locations, JSA, DES and the IEP will continue to be available to support the employment aspirations of CDEP participants.

- Fact Sheet - Information for CDEP participants
- Q&A - CDEP in non-remote locations
Extension of CDEP Wages
The Australian Government is continuing the payment of CDEP wages, through the extension of the CDEP Scheme, until 30 June 2017. The extension of CDEP Wages will provide stability and certainty for CDEP wages participants, many of whom have been participating in CDEP for long periods of time.
Participants who are job-ready will be encouraged to move off CDEP wages into employment with proper wages and conditions. The extension of CDEP wages will provide stability where employment is not available, not suitable, seasonal or otherwise short term.
In non-remote locations, CDEP wages will be paid to eligible participants who participate in CDEP activities. CDEP wages are managed by CDEP providers. Further information on CDEP wages in non-remote locations can be found below:
- Economic Development and Participation Program Guidelines (including the CDEP Scheme).
- Standard Funding Agreement
- CDEP Supplementary Conditions, Annexure A of the 2009-12 Standard Funding Agreement: Program Specific Conditions for CDEP Program Funding.
- Non-remote CDEP Scheme Eligibility Guideline
In RJCP remote regions, CDEP wages will be paid to eligible participants who participate in approved remote employment and participation activities in the remote regions. CDEP wages are managed by RJCP providers. For further information about the extension of CDEP wages in remote regions, visit the RJCP page.
Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) program
The Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) program helps Indigenous job seekers to gain the skills, training and capabilities needed to find sustainable employment and improves the economic and social well-being of communities. CDEP is one of the key Indigenous employment programs contributing to the Australian Government's aim of halving the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous employment within a decade. The CDEP program provides services and projects through two streams: the Work Readiness Stream and the Community Development Stream.
Work Readiness
Work Readiness services help job seekers to develop their skills, improve their chances of getting a job and move to work outside of the CDEP program. Work Readiness services include pre-vocational and vocational training and work experience.
CDEP participants receiving CDEP wages who are placed in work experience placements, continue to receive CDEP wages for the number of hours required to earn the Average Per Participant (APP) rate. The Work Experience Employer is responsible for paying additional wages to the participant for any hours worked above what is required to earn the APP rate.
Where a CDEP participant on income support is placed in paid work experience, the Work Experience Employer may access the CDEP Work Experience Subsidy, administered by DEEWR. This subsidy encourages employers to offer Work Experience placements and pay wages directly to CDEP participants
Community Development
Community Development focuses on supporting and developing Indigenous communities and organisations.
CDEP providers are resourced to ensure community work is consistent with local job opportunities and builds skills through practical experience. Community Development Projects should meet community and individual needs and link to community priorities. Priorities are identified in Community Action Plans that have been developed by providers in consultation with the community. The plans support the needs and aspirations of the community and set goals, actions and targets to improve the quality of community life.
This helps strengthen Indigenous communities through increased individual involvement in community projects and employment opportunities. Community Action Plans are reviewed and updated annually, to reflect changing community priorities. Progress against goals is also monitored regularly.
CDEP providers work closely with community members and other relevant providers to ensure services are best targeted to individual needs. CDEP providers can enter into Memorandums of Understanding with other service providers to ensure CDEP participants are able to obtain services that will improve training and employment outcomes. This can include supporting families to access other support services available in their region and addressing barriers to employment and training.
CDEP providers are supported to build their own skills and capacity to deliver Work Readiness Services and Community Development Projects, and to develop organisational plans and strategies to enable them to take advantage of emerging opportunities. Providers can also engage experts to provide specialised skills that help strengthen their organisations.
The Minister has approved $172.4 million over three years for full implementation of the three year community action plans developed in consultation with CDEP participants and their communities.

Salary Cap not only thing to blame
I'm assuming here that after Katherine the Great's blowout bash last night, most of you are probably still too hungover to function today. But whenever you get around to reading this piece, I recommend it. The first couple of commenters seem to disagree with it, but I found it to be spot on. Maybe I'm easily impressed though.

Ohio GOP Sen. Rob Portman said Thursday he has definite plans to run in 2016 — at least for re-election. Whether he decides to aim higher, he said, will depend on the field of presidential candidates and the issues they campaign on.

The Barcelona Metro is one of the most under-used resources available to tourists. It is safe to use at any time of day, it comprehensively covers most of the city and is cheap. Metro plans appear on most Barcelona maps and guide books usually say which stop is the nearest to a particular sight (it is an 'M' in a diamond shape in most guide books) so you will always know where you are going.
Read more about 100 Things to Do in Barcelona.
Taking the Train from the Airport to the City TOP TIPThe ten-journey metro card (see below) can be shared between several people and can be used from the airport. One ten-journey card is cheaper than two single tickets from the airport. And you'll still have eight journeys left to explore Barcelona.
See more Barcelona Travel Tips.
First Day in Barcelona - Take A Bus Tour First!
Though the Barcelona Metro should be your primary transport choice in the city, for your first day I recommend a hop-on-hop-off sightseeing tour bus to help you get your bearings: Barcelona Sightseeing Tour Bus (book direct)
See also: Barcelona Bus Tour with On-Board Gourmet Meal (book direct)
When is the Barcelona Metro Open?
The metro in Barcelona is open until midnight from Sunday to Thursday, until 2am on Friday and through the night on Saturday.
Barcelona Metro Tickets
One of the most important things to get your head around is the various tickets available. Choosing the right ticket is essential to taking full advantage of the low prices of the Barcelona Metro.
Note that the Barcelona Metro (and the train from the airport) are both free with the Barcelona Card (book direct).
The options available to you are:
- Single ticket (Price: 2€) The most expensive ticket and not worth buying unless you really only plan on making one journey. Not valid to the airport.
- T-10 Ten Journeys (Price around 10€) Much cheaper than buying individual tickets, each journey works out at 66.5c, which is a fraction over half price! More than one person can use the ticket at the same time too - you can pass the ticket back and your companion can pass it through the machine too. A 'journey' lasts 1h15m, so you can change metros as many times as you want in that time and can even go onto a bus. Remember to validate your ticket each time in the machine provided. Click on the picture on this page and then click 'next' to see what a validating machine on the bus looks like.
- One-, Two- and Three-Day Tickets (Price 7€ - 15€) Unless you plan on using the card a lot in one day, the ten-ticket card is usually a lot better value.

Developmental Math Redesign
What is Developmental Math Redesign?
Developmental Math Redesign refers to a change that will be implemented through the Virginia Community College system (VCCS) effective spring 2012 semester. The three developmental math classes traditionally taught at RCC, MTH 02 Basic Arithmetic, MTH 03 Basic Algebra I, and MTH 04 Basic Algebra II will be discontinued.
These classes will be replaced by nine one-credit math units that will contain the mathematics objectives and concepts in which entering college students should be proficient in order to be prepared for college level math, science, and other courses. The new math units will be identified as MTE, which stands for Math Essentials. Each unit will be 1 credit. These are developmental credits and do not count toward completion of a college program.
New Developmental Math Prefix
Math Essential (MTE ) units will be grouped into 1, 2, 3, or 4 credit classes so that students can sign up for just the number of units they need.
Click here to see a description of the MTE units and how they compare to the old MTH 02, 03, and 04 courses.
Click here for information on how to transition from old to new developmental math courses and how to determine college math prerequisites.
The course prefix for developmental math courses will be MTT(math taught through technology)
The numeral following the MTT prefix refers to the number of units (also credits) in the course. Each unit is designed to be completed in not more than 4 weeks.
The following course numbers are available:
MTT 4 (4 credits/1 semester) is for students who need 4 or more developmental units (modules) to meet their credit course prerequisites.
MTT 3 (3 credits/12 week session) is for students who need exactly 3 developmental units (modules) to meet their credit course prerequisites.
MTT 2 (2 credits/8 week session) is for students who need exactly 2 developmental units (modules) to meet their credit course prerequisites.
MTT 1 (1 credit/4 week session) is for students who need exactly 1 developmental unit (module) to meet their credit course prerequisites.
Instructional Method
MTT courses will be taught in computer labs through computer-based, interactive programmed instruction. Classes will be supported by an instructor with additional support from a lab assistant. Instruction is individualized; different students in the class may be working on different units. A dedicated math lab is designated at both Glenns and Warsaw campuses to support students in the developmental math process. All developmental math classes will be conducted in these math labs. During times when no classes are scheduled in the labs, the lab will be open to developmental math students to work on their math coursework and a lab assistant will be on duty to provide help.

Everyone knew the Dodgers granting the starting third base job to Luis Cruz in the off-season was iffy material. The Dodgers too.
Cruz, though, had earned the spot. He forced their hand with solid play. Cruz came out of seemingly nowhere in the second half last season to hit .298 with six homers and 40 RBI in 283 at-bats.

Nevius pushes for another crackdown, but it's not an agenda
At last week's California Music and Culture Association forum on San Francisco's war on fun, I was on a media panel with San Francisco Chronicle columnist CW Nevius that answered questions posed by the audience, and Nevius steadfastly denied that he has any kind of agenda in writing so regularly about the need to crackdown on nightlife and streetlife. But his column today is yet another example proactively pushing that very agenda.
Nevius (who didn't respond to my inquiry on the issue this morning or a follow-up this afternoon) was a Chronicle sportswriter for 20 years before being given a Metro news column that consistently has a reactionary, politically unsophisticated take on San Francisco life, following in the mold of predecessor Ken Garcia. His recent crusades include calling for crackdowns on the homeless in Golden Gate Park, on young people on the streets of the Haight and downtown, and on nightclubs whose patrons have engaged in violence, trumpeting "public safety" as the political priority that trumps everything else.
On Sept. 19, Nevius published yet another column promoting the sit-lie ordinance that he has championed since even before its official inception, which Mayor Gavin Newsom placed on the November ballot as Measure L. In that column, "City citations show need for sit-lie," Nevius detailed how those cited for quality-of-life infractions such a blocking sidewalks or public drinking or urination – mostly poor vagrants on the margins of society – rarely get significantly punished by the courts. Using painfully tortured logic that I still don't understand, he used that situation as an argument for creating a new quality-of-life infraction – sitting or lying on sidewalks – that would probably be similarly ignored by both its targets and the courts.
"Only the most stubborn sidewalk sitter stays in place, daring the officer to write a citation. Sit/lie, by encouraging that kind of common sense compliance, should actually cut down on the number of cases coming through the court system, a system that is demonstrably ineffective," Nevius wrote, making the argument that a new category of crimes will somehow lower the number of people headed into the court system. Again, I don't understand the logic either, and Nevius hasn't responded to my inquiries.
But today, Nevius follows up that column with the "news" that some city officials are now considering developing a pilot program for socking it to the top 40 "sidewalk scofflaws," as Nevius labels them. Both columns feature the same cop, Officer Gary Buckner, who writes a lot of these quality-of-life tickets, and the same officials who share Nevius' public safety priorities and love to score political points with conservatives and moderates by scapegoating the poor and homeless.
During the CMAC forum, I copped to the Guardian's perspective and the fact that we do promote an agenda that seeks to make San Francisco a more progressive and tolerant place, acknowledging and sometimes celebrating urban realities, even when they are sometimes loud, stinky, and perhaps a little scary. Hey, that's life the big city.
But Nevius and the Chronicle pretend that they aren't pushing back with an agenda of their own, one that seeks to impose on this great city the conservative values of Walnut Creek, where Nevius lived until earlier this year, where everything is well-scrubbed and the poor are effectively policed into the shadows or edges of town. Nevius says that he's just an objective journalist covering the news, something that most San Franciscans see as laughably dishonest.
Of course they're pushing an agenda in collaboration with the cops, Mayor Gavin Newsom and reactionary politicians of his ilk, and the downtown interests who value tourist dollars more than the lives and rights of the poorest San Franciscans. And if they were more honest about that intention, and willing to publicly debate our respective positions in good faith, I'm confident that most San Franciscans would share the Guardian's agenda for the city.
C'mon, Chuck, what do you say?
I'm not sure I understand, the Bay Guardian likes Janet Reilly and I quote "Janet Reilly should stay in the race"
She is robo-calling district 2 residents with Endorsements from the SAN FRANCISCO REPUBLICANS, and the Bay Guardian is bashing Meg Whitman, who is also a REPUBLICAN, where do you stand?
This comment about Reilly and the Repubicans is simply not accurate. The San Francisco Republican Party endorsed Mark Farrell in D2 and is doing robocalls on his behalf that criticize Reilly for being endorsed by the the San Francisco Democratic Party.
The good news is that it looks like that article is gone from their front page and I don't see it on the News page either. I was on the Chronicle's website earlier today and saw the article. I did not read it because it was written by Nevius who has an agenda and it only had a little over 200 comments, which is very low for the subject matter on that site. That could be why the article is now gone. It wasn't generating the desired response. Of course Nevius has an agenda and because he denies he has an agenda that means he does. Just like most politicians saying the opposite of what they really mean, intend to do or what the truth really is. Revenue must be down sharply at the Chronicle because I've noticed lately that they have really been churning out subject matter intended to generate responses which dump on the poor and the homeless and undocumented immigrants. Someone wrote a comment on there the other day that I agreed with and they ended their comment with "Next up, bicyclists." I'm not criticizing this article for being on here but it's curious why so many people give one person so much attention and credibility. His views are no more important than that of anyone else but the Chronicle seems to worship his every word. I don't like to see people become homeless but it would be interesting to see smug Nevius canned from the Chronicle, and who else would hire him?
"But today, Nevius follows up that column with the "news" that some city officials are now considering developing a pilot program for socking it to the top 40 "sidewalk scofflaws," as Nevius labels them. Both columns feature the same cop, Officer Gary Buckner, who writes a lot of these quality-of-life tickets, and the same officials who share Nevius' public safety priorities and love to score political points with conservatives and moderates by scapegoating the poor and homeless."
"Enforce the laws already on the books"
Isn't that one of the mantras against sit lie, now you're complaining about them enforcing those laws, you are also complaining about someone advocating for enforcing those laws.
I read Campos quoted in the Mission Local that "we should enforce the laws already on the books" in reference to sit lie, I would find it far more interesting if you asked Campos why he wants to enforce these laws, while you think enforcing laws already on the books is bad. As your progressive fawning is so well documented, I'm sure he would return your calls. Since you two are on different ends of the "laws already on the books sides" we could see how you stand up to him and his anti-progressivism.
Wouldn't Nevious and the cop be gaining points with progressives for wanting laws already on the books to be enforced? Shouldn't you be cheering that they are enforcing laws already on the books?
Unless the mantra "enforce laws already on the books" is just a Whitman like slogan?
The reason you keep hearing "exist the laws already on the books", is because those laws are adequate to deal with _problem or unwanted_ behavior.
There are sidewalk obstruction laws (MPC 22, 23, 24), aggressive panhandling laws (MPC 120-2), as well as laws against harassment and assault.
PROPOSITION L criminalizes the simple act of sitting. If there is a homeless person peacefully sitting on a sidewalk and bothering no one, that is now a crime. A child sitting on a sidewalk is now a criminal. A person sitting and reading a book while waiting for MUNI is a criminal. Putting a chair on a sidewalk in front of your house on a nice day would make you a criminal.
The issue is not that the existing laws are as comprehensive as PROP L and sit/lie, it's that they exist to deal with problematic and undesired behavior. PROP L only addresses sitting, which can be a very peaceful, desired, and human thing to do.
If the police would "enforce the laws that are on the books" and there was still problematic behavior, then and only then should we escalate to new laws.
PROP L is akin to making it illegal to cross the street anywhere because the city wants to crack down on jaywalking.
Increased beat presence in high complaint areas, while by no means a solution, would be a much more practical, logical, and effective next step.
There are plenty of laws on the books to address these problem people.
If you read the primary document that is Nevius's essay, it was all about enforcing laws already on the books and making these laws stick to the people who habitually break them.
This was in the May 25, 2010 examiner "Chiu and Mirkarimi maintained that there were several anti-loitering laws already on the books that were not being fully enforced."
In the may 25th Chronicle we can read "This administration has failed the public in terms of implementing laws that are already on the books," Campos said. "
June 9 2010 we can read in the examiner "The Police Department needs to do its job and enforce the laws that are already on the books," Supervisor David Campos said.
Do a search, mix up the words some and so called "progressive" supervisor names and there is even more quotes.
Note lawyer shit bag Campos blames "This administration" for not enforcing laws on the books.
So instead bitching about a sports journalist who Steve attacks the credentials of, why doesn't so called journalist Jones call Campos and ask whats up? That call would be far more interesting. What was Campos's plan for enforcing laws already on the books and why has he not pushed "this administration" into "enforcing these laws already on the books?"
Nevius is relating the cities plan to enforce the laws already on the books in his piece, he didn't create the plan. This plan is something like what Mirkirimi, Campos, and Chiu had advocated for in the daily papers months before. Oddly in the months between their quotes and this piece they didn't do shit to "enforce laws already on the books."
Anyone with any sense knew that Mirkirimi, Campos and Chiu were all bullshitting and trying to deflect. But it is comical in the long run as the progressives and their servile apologists scream about how much better they are than the rest of us.
It slays me that the Guardian tries to pretend that it is a watchdog of some sort over the city, when it is just a lap dog to bullshit artists.
The the police are not bound to anything that the BOS says, aside from legislation passed. The BOS voted down Sit/Lie more or less because they felt the current laws could address the issue if enforced. What would you suggest they do after that? Pass a resolution pleading with the Police department to enforce the laws?
The police department is the sole entity responsible for enforcing the law.
If you'd like your question answered as simply as possible, look to Proposition M. It was drafted by members of The Board and is a plan for the police to work with merchants to establish an effective beat. Is this the kind of thing you're talking about? What else would you suggest they do?
PROP L is akin to making it illegal to cross the street anywhere because the city wants to crack down on jaywalking. That's the way it should be and then we will make it illegal to have sex unless you are procreating, and as for spanking the monkey, that will be a crime punishable by death, praise be the lord, allllllllulia (is that spelt correct?)
cough, ahem, err
But don't you think its odd that the same people who want the city to enforce laws already on the books are howling when those laws are enforced?
Whats the difference here. left wing bullshitters as opposed to your right wing bullshitters?
Very Clever Mr Matlock!
Glen, the answer of "enforce the laws on the books" only comes in response to overblown stories of assaults, harassment, or blocking sidewalks, which are already illegal. But most of us who oppose Prop. L think this entire issue has been blown way out of proportion and that any problems could be solved by just a watchful cop walking a beat. They don't even need to hand out tickets, which is why Nevius and his ilk -- and these columns -- are so alarmist and irrelevant.
his was in the May 25, 2010 examiner "Chiu and Mirkarimi maintained that there were several anti-loitering laws already on the books that were not being fully enforced."
In the may 25th Chronicle we can read "This administration has failed the public in terms of implementing laws that are already on the books," Campos said. "
June 9 2010 we can read in the examiner "The Police Department needs to do its job and enforce the laws that are already on the books," Supervisor David Campos said.
From ABC 7
"Campos faulted the Police Department for failing to enforce the multiple quality-of-life laws already on the books, which he said adequately address and criminalize the behavior proponents of the measure say justifies the need for the new ordinance.
"If they did their job, we wouldn't be here today," he said. "
Since I am sure Campos would return your calls please call him and ask why he and Nevius are on the same side on this.
From the "stand against sit lie" web page, these laws already on the books are noted. Why do you differ from them in calling for enforcement of laws already on the books? Nevius reports on putting some teeth in laws already on the books, and you are complaining. Why are you against David Campos and the stand against sit lie web page on this? Why are you not writing blogs about them this? I'm sure those groups would return you calls.
Laws already on the books that Steve Jones doesn't want enforced.
"A. Aggressive Panhandling: Police Code Section 120-2 & Penal Code Section 647(c)
B. Obstruction of Sidewalks: Police Code Section 22 & Penal Code Section 647c
C. Obstruction with Belongings: Police Code Section 63"
Despite the current standard of discourse about the issue, simply stating something does not make it a fact.
Provide sources of this "howling when [existing] laws are enforced". If you don't have any, you're simply trying to pass off opinion or stereotype as fact.
You have added nothing to the discussion with this comment. Thank you.
OK sure, the supes want the current laws enforced, right.
If indeed the the so called progressive supes want the current laws enforced, then Steve's issue in this case is with them too. His problem shouldn't be with Nevius as his bit in the Chronicle was about having some consequences around the current laws.
Campos was on the police commission, I watched him on cable access even, if he cared he would have been at it when he was on the commission. Instead he deflects towards "the present administration" and just used the commission to get his name out there so a spring board to the supes.
And what exactly does the BOS beat program have to do with enforcing laws on the books now? From the Chronicle column it is demonstrated that there are no repercussions from breaking the law as things are set up today, and Steve is complaining that things may change towards there being repercussions. If the beat cop thing passes and cops write tickets what has changed?
Should tickets magically be followed up on when written by beat cops? Will there be a cop down at 850 Bryant processing beat cop tickets and tossing ones written by car cops?
So here are "the facts," the Chronicle column was about enforcing laws on the books, Steve complained. He is out of step with the progressives stated claims(supposedly, although we all know he's in lock step) of wanting laws on the books enforced.
As to the howling, Steves original blog column, he's complaining that laws on the books may be enforced in the future. The "discussion" from the progressive end is "lets put this off, make excuses, blame other people, and then hope everyone forgets about it and back to usual"
Provide sufficient effective, accessible and safe BASIC SERVICES like access to clean water for drinking, bathing, cooking and laundry; access to locally available fresh foods; public bathrooms, public gathering spaces. These are considered basic services because their absence invariably causes significant threats to public health and safety.
If you want to generate revenue through a punitive response to "quality of life" laws, ticket drivers who don't stop for pedestrians or raise the insignificant fine for driving while talking / texting / eating / putting on make-up / reading or generally having your head up your ass behind the wheel.
"access to locally available fresh foods"
You have never met or seen an SF hobo have you?
I followed up on Nevius' column Yesterday, & it's entirely inaccurate. There is no plan, the courts have no part in it, & the courts have said that they would not implement such a plan were it presented to them.
Also: Buckner has been accused by multiple homeless people of serious assault for the crime of sleeping.
Officer Gary Buckner is running around attacking homeless people
we should trust a officer with a skin head hair cut
their are several cases that officer 1314 has been involved in
the occ dose not track cases of abuse well
buckner is pushing 50 and has no rank
Nevius hates homeless
ive never seen him come to
the shelter monitoring committee
the local homeless coordinating board
has he read the ten year plan on ending homelessness
if he did he would see a system that
dose not work for the poor exit poverty
"we should trust a officer with a skin head hair cut"
I doubt that he is a skinhead, but why so you think we should trust him because he has the same haircut as a skinhead?
Re: Matlock
Did I miss something?
When did any of "The Progressives" advocate not enforcing existing laws regarding all the fictionalized arson and baby-spitting and sidewalk assaults that Nevius, Gascon, and that weird attention starved little dyed red hair guy keep making up?
By the way, Matlock, do you post on this website using any other handles, or is this your only one?
Now I'm posting as Sam, I mean Barbra.
If you read Nevius's rant you will see that its about enforcing laws already on the books, and then if you read Steve's bitching about the rant, Steve is upset about enforcing laws already on the books.
In reality the "enforce laws already on the books" is a dodge by the progressives like Steve, hoping that it all goes away so they can get back to more complaining about how we owe them.
Steve said
"Glen, the answer of "enforce the laws on the books" only comes in response to overblown stories of assaults, harassment, or blocking sidewalks, which are already illegal."
Meaning the slogan was a dodge.
Here is a Campos quote where he blames "this administration" meaning someone else, oddly Campos was on the police commission for some time and could have advocated for "enforcing laws already on the books"
In the may 25th Chronicle we can read "This administration has failed the public in terms of implementing laws that are already on the books," Campos said. "
That slogan is an attempt to put this off, blame it all on someone else, so that they can get back to business as usual.
Reminds a person of Meg Whitman's flopping around over the maid issue eh?
Glen, I can't tell whether you're being deliberately dense or whether your obsession with playing "gotcha" games with progressives affects your reading comprehension skills. Progressives didn't turn this into a big issue, and their answer of "enforce the laws on the books" is simply a response to these ridiculous overblown stories that Arthur Evans, CW Nevius, and others have amplified to the point of ridiculousness, most of which involve behaviors that are already crimes (threats, blocking storefronts, spitting on babies, etc.). It's an honest answer that makes a good faith effort to address what most progressives see as a non-issue meant to animate conservative voters. But for those citizens and voters who are concerned with street thugs and their dogs menacing passersby, that's the answer: Enforce existing laws against that behavior, don't create a new law that goes far beyond addressing the horror stories that Evans and Nevius love to tell.
His whole column is about enforcing laws already on the books and you were bitching about it.
It's not that complicated.
The slogan "just enforce laws already on the books" is just a dodge hoping that non progressives grow weary of the whole issue and lose interest. Your blog complaining about Nevius proves that you don't care about enforcing laws on the books.
Mirkirimi ignores his constituents, then it gets serious and he feels their pain for a few weeks, but he really just wants it all to go away so as not to be unPC. He wasn't calling the district station asking for some quality of life enforcement at any time, he was just listening like he cared for a while, it got some momentum and out comes "enforce laws already on the books".
You can make your own reality all day but it doesn't change the history of the SF uni-mind.
For decades, I've been working to improve street safety in my neighborhood. The single greatest obstacle to enforcing existing laws on public safety has been the progressive block at the supes.
They have repeatedly called such enforcement "a war on the poor." They have attacked police officials who encouraged such enforcement. They have scoffed at residents clamoring for better enforcement. They have tried to gut programs that would improve enforcement.
Now, all of sudden, they say there should be better enforcement of existing laws. Why the big change?
Let's be honest. We all know the reason. They're trying to defeat Prop L, the civil-sidewalks law. Yet their foot-dragging on effective law enforcement has helped create the situation where Prop L is needed.
There's a big irony in all this. They have put forward their hypocrisy and foot-dragging in the name of "progressive politics." As if making neighborhoods safe were not a progressive imperative!
There is a political reality behind their sodden behavior. It's the clout of the nonprofit political complex, especially Homelessness Inc.
Since Gavin Newsom became mayor, the city has funneled one billion dollars into providing social services for the homeless, according to recent newspaper accounts.
As a result, Homelessness Inc is now a big business in SF. And it's in a symbiotic relationship with the migratory addicts and alcoholics whom it serves as an enabler. It has entrenched itself with hundreds of jobs, which would be lost if homelessness were suddenly solved in SF.
It exercises the same influence over the progressive block of the supes that the military-industrial complex exercises over Republicans in Congress.
There is nothing whatever progressive about any of this. But it does promote the career ambitions of certain posturing politicians.
This hypocritical, cheesy arrangement between entrenched economic interests, on one hand, and the posturing politicians whom it manipulates, on the other, is a familiar feature in U.S. politics.
It's known as "The System."
"In the Past, Progressives Opposed Enforcing Laws"
Factual support?
Anything but an inexhaustible supply of hot gas and repetition?
the one by Steve Jones right?
The column where he complains about enforcing laws on the books?
The column that all these comments have followed up?
The column dated just a few days ago?
The column that this post of yours is under?
Vote Yes on Prop M to force police to do their jobs and address any problems on Haight Street!
The problems on Haight Street were nothing new, and of such a limited nature that they were solved within a week last December by police enforcing already existing laws. "Haight Street is looking great."
Nevius declared on Dec. 24.
As for the manufactured panic and fears of "thugs with dogs", it turns out that, after six weeks of daily patrols and strict enforcement, the SFPD says:"We have not found any menacing dogs,"
"instead of encountering aggressive animals, the officers discovered the more-common issue was unlicensed and off-leash dogs."
To sum up:
If the problems that a handful of alarmist cranks used to foment fear and panic across the city was solved in a week by police enforcing already existing laws, we obviously don't need a new law that robs all San Franciscans of our civil rights.
This unneccesary law threatens REAL rights, including the right to sit in public, as opposed to imaginary rights, like "the right to sidewalk civility".
The idea that civility, or courtesy, or politeness ought to be legislated and that police should jail those who violate politeness laws would be laughable if it were not so nightmarish and Un-American.
Vote Yes on Prop M!

At least two large crashes have been reported over the Labor Day weekend, including one that took the life of a 20-year-old Atwater man, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The fatal crash was reported around 12:45 a.m. Sunday on Highway 140, west of Agua Fria Road, north of Catheys Valley. The victim's name hasn't been released, pending notification of his family.
The victim was driving a 2007 GMC Sierra pickup westbound on Highway 140 at a high rate of speed. For an unknown reason, the vehicle left the roadway and traveled up the north shoulder embankment, according to the CHP.
The GMC overturned several times and the driver, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle. The driver was taken to John C. Fremont Hospital, where he died.
The other crash was reported about 11:08 a.m. Saturday in the Livingston area on southbound Highway 99.
The CHP said Larry Sabo, 45, of Atwater was driving a 2013 Toyota Corolla southbound on the highway, north of Westside Boulevard.
The Corolla was approaching a 2012 Lexus, driven by Jaimie Reynaga, 41, of Castro Valley, according to the CHP.
Sabo's Corolla was traveling at an unknown speed when it lost control, striking the rear of the Lexus, which was carrying three passengers, the CHP reported.
The Corolla traveled down the west shoulder of the roadway, down the embankment and overturned, officers said. The impact of the collision also sent the Lexus down the embankment.
The driver of the Corolla suffered major injuries and was taken to Doctors Medical Center in Modesto. The occupants of the Lexus were taken to a Modesto hospital for treatment of minor and moderate injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.

Found April 27, 2012 on Fox Sports North:
PLAYERS: Chris Parmelee, Justin Thomas, Ron Gardenhire
TEAMS: Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox
TEAMS: Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox
MINNEAPOLIS Twins first baseman Chris Parmelee was sporting a black eye Friday, but was headache- and concussion-free two days after being hit in the head by a 93 mph pitch in a game against Boston.Red Sox reliever Justin Thomas hit Parmelee in the head with a fastball in the sixth inning, and Parmelee instantly fell to the ground. He was helped off the field by trainers but did not show signs of a concussion after going through tests Wednesday night. The Twins had an off-day Thursday, and Parmelee was in good spirits before Friday's game against Kansas City."I'm feeling real good," Parmelee said. "Just a little black eye and a headache when it happened, but other than that I'm good."Those headaches have since subsided, Parmelee said, and he added that he never had any thought of a concussion cross his mind. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Parmelee would be available off the bench Friday, but Minnesota would "shy away" from using him."Little bit of swelling in his head, when he got hit, and little black eye, but he's actually OK. He's out there running around, and doing pretty good," Gardenhire said. "Just have to go day-by-day with him. Says he feels good. I'll let the doctors and trainers tell me."Parmelee said he had seen several other players get hit in the head by a pitch, but Wednesday was the first time it had happened to him. He called it a "scary" moment, but knew it could have been a much scarier scene."Luckily, the padding of the helmet runs right along there, so it had hit the padding. That was huge," Parmelee said. "It could have been a lot worse. If that ball was have an inch to an inch lower, I might be looking at some cheek bone, eyeball, it wouldn't have been good."Parmelee also said he heard from Thomas after the game. Thomas was visibly shaken in the Red Sox dugout after hitting Parmelee in the head."He called over and wanted to make sure I was OK and stuff like that, so that was really cool," Parmelee said. "No hard feelings."Follow Tyler Mason on Twitter.
