Imagine the families. Chevy Chase, Maryland and Cockeysville, Maryland are only about an hour apart. George Huguely and Yeardley Love had been dating for some time. The families had to have met, right?
Now, in the wake of Yeardley Love's death—allegedly at the hands of her boyfriend, George Huguely—imagine the interactions between the two families. If it hasn't happened already, at some point, it will. They'll cross paths, and familiar looks will be replaced with downward gazes, stifled emotions. Should they speak, think of the fumbled words, the tears, the heads shaking.
The Huguely family would likely want to apologize, and the Love family might want to forgive. But truthfully, nobody could muster the courage or coherence for that conversation. What can you say?
It's a tragedy of unspeakable proportions.
And for me, it's oddly personal, with a connection to my own experiences that makes it nearly impossible to write about, but impossible to ignore. Personal because I'd met the young man accused of murder. Because I have friends that knew Yeardley and George well. And because looking at it objectively, George Huguely fits a profile that I've grown up with for the past 10-15 years.
It's one thing when a superstar like Ben Roethlisberger is accused of rape. He's an icon. Perhaps an icon of chauvinism and recklessness, but an icon nonetheless. There's an enormous reservoir—filled with cameras, millions of dollars, Super Bowl rings, worldwide fame—between my reality and his. But with George and Yeardley, it's more like a puddle separating us.
George Huguely went to Landon, my high school's biggest rival. He partied with some of my best friends. In high school he was known as a lacrosse prodigy, and eventually, as the starting quarterback for Landon's football team. His life may not have been "charmed" on the inside, but from afar, it looked like he had it pretty good. Girls loved him, and guys respected him.
And for me, there's deep sympathy that resides in close proximity to deep resentment for someone like George. And fair or not, what George Huguely did to Yeardley Love is going to prompt any number of referenda on lacrosse and its accompanying culture, all tinged with arguments about socioeconomics, jock culture, and generally, the sort of murky politics that we always hope sports can avoid.
But as a way of preempting the deluge of moralizing that's sure to unfold in the coming weeks, I might as well wade into the discussion with something resembling a first-person perspective. First about lacrosse and the accompanying culture, and later, about what happened at UVA.
EXPLAINING THE CULTURE For better or worse, I've grown up going to hundreds of lacrosse parties over the years, forced to acknowledge these "athletes" that looked more like caricatures of a stereotype—overgrown hair, croakies around their neck, a lacrosse pinnie, pastel-colored shorts, some rainbow flip flops and a backwards hat. (For all the generalizations you hear, 9 times out 10, this is actually what they look like.)
Herein begins my sympathy for the culture: They can't help it. Lacrosse is a sport that's somewhere between Youth Soccer and Jai Alai. It was created by Native Americans, but perfected by a bunch of Mid-Atlantic prepsters, eager to congratulate themselves on their dominance of a sport that only they can play.
Because of the expensive equipment, and the distinct advantages provided to those that learn the game on suburban travel teams or at expensive prep schools like Landon, the sport remains fairly insular among wealthy children. To excel at lacrosse, it helps to have parents that have the resources to fund the hobby, and the time to cart their children to and from games.
It's true of other sports, too—hockey, for instance, requires similar time/money commitments from the families of young players—but the economic divide is more pronounced with lacrosse. If it seems like the sport belongs to different class, that's because it does; most of the schools that excel are all-boys private schools, with skyhigh tuition (Landon costs $28,000 per year, according to its website), strict dress codes, and large expanses of green field space. Look at the top 10 High School Lacrosse Programs in the country.
- Georgetown Prep, Bethesda, MD Tuition: $25,650
- St. Paul's School, Brooklandville, MD Tuition: $21,670
- West Islip High School, West Islip, New York Tuition: Public
- The Haverford School, Haverford, PA Tuition: $29,900
- Conestoga High School, Berwyn, PA Tuition: Public
- Boy's Latin, Baltimore, MD Tuition: $21,760
- Manhasset High School, Manhasset, New York Tuition: Public
- Deerfield Academy, Deerfield, MA Tuition: $32,560
- St. Anthony's High School, South Huntington, NY Tuition: $7,500
- Jamesville-Dewitt, Jamesville, NY Tuition: Public
As you can see, at many of the top lacrosse schools in the country, it costs $100,000 to go to high school. And even with the public schools listed above, places like West Islip, Manhassett, and Chester County, PA are not exactly lacking for resources. But it's especially the private, single-sex prep schools—like Landon—that shape teens differently. I know this because I went to exactly that sort of school.
In so many ways, these elite, east coast prep schools—and the lacrosse teams that dominate their culture—are the archetype for the American Establishment. Lush with wealth, privilege, and shiny exteriors, they insulate their students from the grayed reality of the "real world." None of this is bad, or evil, but it affects the way many prep schoolers develop, divorced from the realities of normal people, and often times, the realities of the opposite sex.
In this way, it's difficult to blame any lacrosse players who struggle to adjust to normal society, because for many, they don't get that far until well after college. Deadspin's Katie Baker nailed it earlier this week:
Think about the person who grew up in upscale suburban Baltimore, for example. Went to an all boys school, was good at sports, got involved in lax--which in these "hotbeds" really is the hot thing--and ultimately got recruited at 4-8 schools, all good ones, most likely, and all places where he probably has former teammates there to tell him how SIIIIIIICK it is. He's kind of bound to be, at best, completely clueless about the larger world.
But regardless of the root causes there, it's fair to say that lacrosse is a chosen sport for sons and students of the Establishment. And with that comes Entitlement.
CONDEMNING THE CULTURE I went to a school exactly like Landon, and most of my best friends played lacrosse in high school. Most of those that played in high school also continued to play in college. And while my friends were pretty normal and benign, it put me in close proximity with others from the sport that weren't so awesome.
Ultimately, in my experience, this meant hanging out with a lot of guys—friends of friends, I guess—that partied really hard, and treated a lot of people like crap. Girls, non-athletes, authority figures... Pretty much anyone that wasn't one of them either didn't exist, or existed solely as an object of ridicule. Personally, I was somewhere in between, partying as hard as them and rebelling against rules and authority, but (hopefully) stopping short of ever treating anyone like crap.
(Who was I to make fun of anyone? In high school, I played tennis and wrote a blog.)
But some of the others, well... They played lacrosse. In the environment outlined above, that meant something. They were the best athletes in arguably the most important high school sport in the D.C. area. While normal people were sweating out a brutal college application process, these guys were going to college on scholarships, committing to great schools like UVA, Princeton, and Georgetown before the process even began. It seems absurd now, but to a lot of people, those guys seemed to have it all, and they knew it. Because ... (gasp) ... they played lacrosse.
But we'll put aside the big-fish-small-pond dynamic that some of these guys embodied, because the implications for that psychology are more important to this discussion. Again, this is just my experience. But basically, from what I saw, "the guys that played lacrosse" surrounded themselves mostly with people who thought that was really awesome, which meant they could get away with a lot of behavior that'd otherwise be considered pretty reprehensible. No different than athletes from other sports, except that lacrosse draws from a smaller, much wealthier pool of talent.
The corollary to the economic aspect is that many lax stars grow up spoiled, and entitlement becomes a problem much earlier than it does with most basketball or football stars.
By the time college arrives, the "spoils" of the lifestyle have gotten more decadent than just the elevated social status many of them enjoyed in high school. Drugs and alcohol, minimal consequences, preferable treatment from coaches and academic advisors, and the so-called "lacrosstitutes," groupies entranced by the glamor of it all. It's by no means universal to every lacrosse player or every lacrosse program, but in the lacrosse social scene, it's all there. And of course, there's that homogeneous social circle, normalizing this behavior every step of the way.
It's still a small sport, after all. For elite lacrosse players, there are only a handful of elite college programs to choose from, and most of the rosters at those schools include kids from the same elite prep schools they played against in high school. When they get to college, the team functions as a built-in social circle, and often times, it looks a lot like the one they had in high school, only with less rules. What does this mean?
For normal students, going to college is an exercise in broadening perspectives. For lacrosse players, it can often be an exercise in confirming perspectives and values that have been skewed since early in high school. That's a problem.
You might say these are generalizations, but again, I'm only speaking from what I've seen. You don't have to acknowledge my anecdotal evidence as anything more than just that. But keep in mind, I grew up in the same area as Huguely, with many of the same friends, congregating in many of the same places.
And as far as Yeardley Love's death is concerned, this much is fact: George Huguely was an elite lacrosse player that went to an elite prep school, and graduated to join an elite lacrosse program at UVA. If we're to diagnose how and why this happened, those facts bear some relevance.
Nobody's blaming the sport of lacrosse for the murder of Yeardley Love, just as it would have been ridiculous to blame college basketball for what happened at Baylor in 2003, when Carlos Dotson murdered his teammate, Patrick Dennehy. Like the Baylor situation, this was a senseless tragedy that transcends college athletics or even everyday crime. It's the sort of thing that makes us question life and justice, in general.
"How could someone like Yeardley Love get beaten to death?"
George Huguely admitted to breaking into her bedroom, attacking her, and smashing her head against the wall. When he left, she lay lifeless on her bed in a pool of her own blood.
"I mean, how can that happen, ever?"
It's truly gut-wrenching. As in, you can't read the description of the crime without feeling a pain in your stomach. And context only makes it worse. Imagine those families again. By all accounts, these were two young people from a stable background, with strong academic and athletic pedigree, and weeks away from graduating college with a world of potential. Now, both their lives are overwith.
That's not lacrosse's fault.
But if we're looking to understand this tragedy in a way that teaches us anything, lacrosse matters. It's part of the conversation. Given the evidence, George Huguely was clearly a young man with problems. To what extent they were manifested, and how, remains to be seen. Given my relationship to some of his friends, I've heard things, but all that'll trickle out in due time. For now, let's say this: To leave any human being the way he left Yeardley that night requires both deep-seated psychological problems and a severe emotional detachment.
Diagnosing those issues and their source is someone else's job, but having lived vicariously through a number of friends playing Division 1 lacrosse, and having seen the lifestyles firsthand, it's not hard to see how that culture of excess may have exacerbated whatever problems this kid was facing.
George Huguely may not have felt "entitled" to date Yeardley Love regardless of her objections (that conclusion's too easy) but it's entirely conceivable that lacrosse's entitlement culture, filled with excess, enabled him to turn to drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism, and without any social repercussions, burying his "issues" deep inside. And make no mistake, whatever happened the night of Huguely's "altercation" with Yeardley Love, some sort of substance abuse contributed to that "emotional detachment" referenced above.
Witnesses have said he'd been seen drinking all day, and don't be surprised if the police report reveals that there were drugs in his system that night. And whatever the case, really, it all points to the same problem, where lacrosse is at least tangentially complicit.
Listen, as I said up front, it's nearly impossible to write about this.
Because of my personal relationships with a lot of people that were active participants in this "culture of excess and entitlement" I'm describing. Because of my sympathies for some of the people that'll be unfairly labeled as a result. Because this is just a few years after the Duke lacrosse scandal dragged the sport through the mud in the media. And because at the end of the day, I grew up in that culture, and participated in it far more than I'd ever care to admit.
But it's also impossible to ignore this stuff. As one friend of George's said the day this news first broke, "I hope there's a better explanation... Regardless, Yeardley Love is not with us anymore, which is sad." Beyond any innuendo about the people involved or the sport as a whole, a 22 year-old girl is gone, and that's horribly sad.
Part of the grieving process involves investigating how, exactly, something like this could happen among two privileged college kids with everything in the world working in their favor.
To that end, we can't look past lacrosse's role. In my experience, the "lacrosse social scene" looks upon alcohol abuse as routine, with marijuana and cocaine ubiquitous, women disposable, and outsiders incidental. Not unlike a fraternity, except that the players at a school like UVA are considered star athletes, operating with significant leeway toward the rules, and ultimately spending most of their time hanging out around people that reinforce their skewed perception of the world.
You could argue that the attitudes and actions stem from a larger disease among entitled rich kids and chauvinistic jocks, and that'd be fair. But so long as you acknowledge that those problems exist, it's not hard to see how lacrosse might act as an incubator for the disease and its symptoms.
The "disease" is not always evil, of course. For the most part, it's just a lot of kids that don't know any better, and haven't had the chance to learn any different.
But it can be dangerous, too. Lines get crossed. Kids do things they don't remember, sometimes bad things, and their friends tell them it's fine. This wasn't the first time that George Huguely had an "altercation" with Yeardley Love. As the Washington Post reports:
Two months before Love's death, two current and one former University of North Carolina lacrosse players intervened to separate Huguely from Love at a party on the U-Va. campus in Charlottesville, according to two sources with knowledge of the incident.
As you continue in that lifestyle, standards get relaxed and you end up having a lot more fun, not worrying about the people you might hurt. Bit by bit, over four years in college, that can shape people. It can allow them to laugh off angry episodes, or bury some deep-seated emotions with an avalanche of partying.
Those emotions don't disappear, though. We're less than two years removed from the sudden death of UVA's team captain, Will Barrow. Teammates hadn't seen any warning signs, and then one day, he was gone. His death was ruled a suicide.
As people progress in this culture, destructive emotions can bubble over without warning. Like Will Barrow. Or Huguely sending threatening e-mails to Yeardley. Add substance abuse to the mix, and things get really, really dangerous. So we ask ourselves:
"How could someone like Yeardley Love get beaten to death? How can that happen, ever?"
We'll never fully understand it. But if I'm answering honestly—ignoring the scores of decent people who risk indictment by association—George Huguely's lacrosse background was definitely part of it.
Now, as Virginia prepares to play finish their season, I had to speak up. When his team captain committed suicide, UVA head coach Dom Starsia said, "The whole thing is stunning and completely bewildering. We're just trying to sort this out." You can only imagine what he and the team are team are feeling now, knowing that one of their own allegedly murdered someone.
But here's the thing: it's a lot more stunning than it is bewildering.
Of course there's shock that anything like this could happen, but when you piece together some of the external factors in play, it's not that bewildering to think that a kid with anger issues could ignore a number of red flags, bury his emotions and turn to a reckless lifestlyle, leaving that anger to explode one night in a substance-fueled rage. We're not talking about a completely isolated incident here.
Eight players have been charged with alcohol-related offenses while playing for Coach Starsia, a player's committed suicide, and a player's allegedly killed someone. If we ignore the connections between those three events, and similar problems at other schools, we run the risk of letting Yeardley Love die in vain. Her murder was a senseless tragedy of unspeakable proportions, the sort of thing you simply can't explain or understand.
But if it offers us anything, it's the opportunity to step back and look objectively at the culture of lacrosse at schools like UVA. It's by no means a universal phenomenon, but it's more pervasive than most would like acknowledge. And yet, instead of stepping back, here's UVA, the top ranked team in the country, preparing to play in the NCAA Tournament. I'm sure their hearts are in the right place—playing for the memory of Yeardley—but now's not the time.
Even if I'm wrong about all this pseudo-anthropology and worries about the culture... Even if there is no explanation for any of this, "Yeardley Love is not with us anymore, and that's sad."
UVA and the entire lacrosse world owes it to Yeardley to take a step back, and take an honest look at what happened. It'll be gut-wrenching, but for UVA and college lacrosse, it's time for a gut check.

HoopsHype Tom Thibodeau rumors
Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau has spent countless hours preparing to stop some of the best players in the NBA since he became an assistant coach with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1989. So when asked Saturday whom Miami Heat star LeBron James compared to on that list, Thibodeau gave a one-word answer. "Nobody,'' he said. No wonder the Bulls will have their hands full today when the back-to-back defending champions are in town. "Because when you're combing the speed, the power, the skill, the passing, the vision, I mean, I can't recall anyone that I've coached against that's like that,'' Thibodeau said. "There's nothing he doesn't do. He's great with the ball, great without the ball, can post, can drive, can shoot, can really pass. If you overcommit to him, he's going to make you pay. And he keeps getting better every year. He's an all-time great.'' Chicago Sun-Times
The conversation between Anthony and Noah started as a discussion about what it's like to play for Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau. With rumors about Chicago going after Anthony as well as about Thibodeau possibly coaching the New York Knicks next season, Anthony wanted to know about Thibodeau. From there, the discussion turned to Noah telling Anthony he should join the Bulls. ESPN.com
Chris Broussard: All-Star Convo btwn @Carmelo Anthony & @Joakim Noah began as discussion on what it's like to play for Tom Thibodeau.... With rumors about Bulls going 4 Melo as well as Thibs coaching NYK, Melo wanted to know about Thibs. from there, convo turned to Noah telling Melo he should join Bulls if he wants to win ring & secure winning legacy. Twitter
Chris Broussard: Melo responded to Noah that he admires how hard Bulls play & how hungry they are. Also told him his son's favorite player is D-Rose. I'm told D-Rose would love for Melo to join Bulls as well. If Bulls ask Rose to help recruit, he will. Sources add tho that it'll be hard for Melo to turn down the $ and leave NYK. Twitter
A second scout is confident Fredette, freed of being a franchise-saving point guard, will find his place as a shooting specialist for the Bulls, citing the success Ben Gordon and Kyle Korver have had in coach Tom Thibodeau's ball-movement-heavy system. The challenge will be for Fredette to embrace the role. "I would expect he and the Bulls already have had that conversation," the scout said. The other test will be whether he can defend well enough that Thibodeau will keep him on the floor and then be an efficient shooter. "Is he the caliber of shooter who can make an impact with only seven or eight shots?" one Eastern Conference executive wondered. "At BYU, that was his warm-up. He knew 20 more were coming." Bleacher Report
Coach Mike Woodson looks beaten down, almost certain to be cashiered when the season mercifully ends. The rumor mill keeps trying to find a way to bring Bulls Coach Tom Thibodeau to New York next season (not a chance in hell, you hear; Thibs may have his moments with Chicago's front office, but he has no interest climbing into that septic tank). NBA.com
Thibodeau is represented by CAA and counts the agency's representative William Wesley as one of his advisers. The powerful Wesley has heavy influence within the Knicks' organization, especially with new president Steve Mills. According to a league source, Wesley's insistence is why the Knicks signed J.R. Smith when he returned from China. New York Post
Any play for Thibodeau might cost the Knicks a first-round draft pick, which they don't have. Hence, it still seems a long shot. "He loves Chicago,'' a coaching source who has worked with Thibodeau told The Post. "They gave him his first head-coaching opportunity. I don't know why coaches and GMs don't get along better. But when someone throws a boatload of money at you?" Thibodeau, for his part, would not respond. "No matter how you answer, it will keep coming up, so I don't waste any time with that," he said. New York Post
Thibodeau's work this season is beyond impressive, after losing Rose to another season-ending knee injury and then ownership's salary dump of Luol Deng. The Bulls are tied for third in the East with the Raptors at 32-26. "Twice that team had a chance to quit and instead they got better,'' the coaching source said. "He loves the players. The players love him. That team bought into him. "The Bulls have a lot to be careful about. When you find a guy in this league who can really coach. … "Besides his maniacal work ethic, he's a detail freak on everything they do. New York Post
"Anytime we can add shooting," coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday before the Bulls' shootaround, "we're interested." Thibodeau declined to specifically address Fredette, who agreed to a buyout from the Kings on Thursday. If he clears waivers Saturday, the Bulls could add him as their 13th player. "The more shooting you have, the more it opens up the floor," Thibodeau said. "We want to open things up to attack off the dribble, with our cuts, things of that nature. We feel that is an area of need." Chicago Tribune
Speaking on WGWG-FM 87.7 on Thursday, VP of basketball operations John Paxson again addressed all of the speculation that Thibodeau's lifespan as the Bulls coach could be a short one, especially with the New York job likely opening up this summer. "He is not going anywhere. … I don't think it's a stretch to say that our team is the best prepared in the NBA with Tom as our head coach,'' Paxson said. Chicago Sun-Times
"He's out for the season,'' Thibodeau said when asked again about Rose's progress. "I don't know what else you guys want . . . and again, I think that's a step-by-step thing. He's doing great; he's out for the season. Nothing has changed there.'' Chicago Sun-Times
Nick Friedell: Thibs says he would be surprised if the Bulls made a deal. Says he likes the group that they have. Twitter @NickFriedell
Rose talked in upbeat fashion Wednesday night about coming back even stronger from his second straigth season-ending injury. Does Thibodeau have any doubts Rose can regain his elite form? "Nope," Thibodeau said. "None." Thibodeau elaborated. "I think one of his great strengths is his attitude," he said. "In the end, this is going to make him even stronger mentally. And that's probably the biggest thing. I saw the way he responded with the ACL. He has an even greater determination now. And I think that's going to serve him well." Chicago Tribune
Nick Friedell: Thibs says he watches tape of Mirotic when he can. Still hasn't gotten a chance to speak with him yet. Twitter @NickFriedell

2009 NFL season predictions and observations
Alex Harkaway – For the Review."This season kicked off the same way the last one ended — with the [stupid] Steelers getting lucky!"
This statement was uttered by a friend of mine (although he used a different word for stupid). As all sports writers are encouraged to maintain an unbiased professionalism regarding the fields they cover, it should be noted that these anti-Pittsburgh sentiments are my friend's, not my own. I simply decided to lead my first NFL article with them. That the Steelers again seem to have luck on their side is only one of many things a keen observer could take out of Week One's action. Here are five things I discovered:
1. The Bears will not make the playoffs.
The hype for what was predicted as Chicago's big year lasted all of one half of its first game.
It was during that time the Bears watched their savior quarterback throw three first-half interceptions and their star linebacker severely injure his wrist. Brian Urlacher is out for the season. Jay Cutler is well on his way to being out of favor with the same fans that touted him as their best signal caller since Jim McMahon.
At least they still have two games against the Detroit Lions.
2. The two-man media circus is coming to an end.
I am, of course, referring to the media's obsession with all things Favre and Vick. If you found one football article this offseason that did not mention either of those names, chances are you were reading about fútbol. That could change soon.
In their first games, the Vikings scored 34 points without relying on their quarterback to do more than hand the ball off, and the Eagles put up 38 without Number Seven even suiting up. If these teams continue to play well, the focus will turn to their Super Bowl hopes instead of their maligned quarterbacks.
3. My fantasy team is awful.
It's worse than yours, I promise. One week in, and I'm already looking forward to fantasy hockey.
4. We are going to spend the next week hearing about how good the Seahawks will be this year.
The offense moved the ball with ease. The defense was suffocating. Coach Mora seemed to have his troops prepared and motivated. The final score was the biggest blowout in Week One: Seattle, 28; McMinnville High School, 0.
Wait, did I say Mac High? I meant the St. Louis Rams. I always get those teams mixed up. Either way, maybe Seattle fans should wait until they play a real NFL team before talking smack.
5. Brandon Stokley is my new favorite player.
His game-winning 87-yard tip-drill catch was incredible. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. Stokley may be the luckiest receiver in the league. He is so lucky, he might as well be playing for the Steelers!
Ah, forget being professional. Here's to Pittsburgh going 1-15!

|Truesdale travels to London for New Year's Parade
|Monday, January 21, 2013 9:52 AM
"It was televised so it was played across BBC, which is their big network," Truesdale said. "There were I think 7 or 8 bands from the United States, like Olentangy High School from down near Columbus and the band from the University of Southern Florida. To get involved, the bands have to apply and then they go through a selection process." Truesdale, who is a junior at Adrian, plays the alto saxaphone.
"For the parade we played songs from one of our marching shows, which included part of the 'Washington Post March' and 'Bring Me a Higher Love,'" he said. "They also had a finale planned, where they brought five or six of the bands together and had us play a selection of music."
The trip was doubly exciting for Truesdale, as it was his first time being out of the country, let alone on a different continent.
"The entire experience was really interesting. There were so many tourists because it's one of the most popular destinations in the world," he said. "It seemed like everywhere we went we were fighting through crowds. The people there seemed really friendly, for the most part anyway. It was weird because they do drive on the opposite side of the road. Doing the parade was very unique, certainly different from here because the road wasn't straight; there were all these twists and turns."
When visiting a country with such a distinctive culture and long history, it would be a waste not to take time to see the sites. Truesdale and the rest of the band stayed at Cumberland Hotel which placed them relatively close to downtown London and popular tourist targets. "We toured Windsor Castle and we also got to see Buckingham Palace, where we watched the changing of the guard," he said. "They were in their winter uniforms, so unfortunately they weren't as bright and flashy as we expected them to be. We also got to walk around Oxford University." "My favorite part was probably getting to see the Tower of London," Truesdale continued. "I also really enjoyed the fireworks show they did to ring in the new year. We were allowed to watch them from wherever we wanted, so we found a spot underneath Big Ben and got to watch it change at midnight before the fireworks started."
Truesdale, who is a Delphos Jefferson graduate, got the idea to attend Adrian after spending a week there every summer while in high school.
"The Jefferson Marching Band holds band camp there every year and I grew to really like the campus," Truesdale said. "They have small class sizes so it's pretty similar to high school. The campus is small too and everyone is really friendly. It's just a great community."

While some couples may struggle to deal with their children leaving the house, middle age affords many people the chance to travel and take on experiences they may not have had time to do before. For empty nesters planning a vacation, the region of Galicia in Spain should merit strong consideration.
Spanish vacations are a great way for travelers to relax and experience a new culture. Many travelers may not be aware, however, that many regions within Spain have their own unique culture and identity. The area of Galicia, located in the northwest corner, is one such area.
Galicia is just north of Portugal and features a moist climate similar to Spain's neighbor. That position also means that Galicia has access to plenty of beautiful coast and the delicious seafood that comes with being right by the sea.
Empty nesters will definitely want to take their time exploring this region of Spain, as it will allow them to sample all the local delicacies. Among the many tapas that travelers should be sure to partake in are gooseneck barnacles. In addition, no trip to the region is complete without a sampling of "aguardiente," a local alcoholic beverage sweetened with natural flavors.
It may not be the most well known European travel destination, but Galicia is sure not to disappoint those who take the time to explore.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) – A custodian at West Brunswick High School was arrested Monday in connection to several sexually related charges with a student.
Valentine Rivera, 42, has been charged with sexual activity with a student by school personnel, sexual battery, and felony disseminating pornographic materials.
According to the arrest warrants, Rivera is accused of showing the victim a nude photo of himself and forced the victim to touch him in an inappropriate way.
School officials said Rivera was a daytime custodial services staff at West Brunswick High, and that he was immediately placed on administrative leave.
Jessica Swencki, a spokesperson for Brunswick County Schools said they want to send a message to parents and the community -- that this type of alleged behavior is not tolerated in schools.
"We feel it's most important to tell our parents and our community that the shock and dismay that they feel when they learn about allegations related to sexual misconduct is the same feeling of shock and dismay that members of the educational organization feel as well," said Swencki. "Safety of our students is our number one priority."
School officials released this statement regarding the situation, "It is most important for our community to know that WBHS officials and the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office responded swiftly after receiving information about these serious allegations. The alleged behavior is not tolerated at our school or any school in Brunswick County."
According to the school records, Rivera was hired in November 2010 as a substitute custodian and became full time in January 2013.
Rivera will remain on leave pending the outcome of the investigation. His next court appearance is a probable cause hearing, scheduled for March 11.

A moving saga witnessing the life and times of this hardworking woman. A tribute to a generation that was built on love, sacrifice, and "nose to the grindstone" work ethic.
An indepth look at this dying breed of lady farmers and how their stature and influence can impart ethical will, prophecy, and new hope to future generations.
In these times of our struggling society revisited by a "depression-era" woman, we see the light of moving forward with a positive peace in our hearts that knowing even in the darkest hours the sun will rise again tomorrow.
We can see through her eyes that dreams can come true although at times they may be masked by other venues.
As her descendants of life's chores we applaud this woman, "The Cowgirl", Betty Mae Susen Baker and hold her in our hearts forevermore.
A moving tribute written by her son for her 80th birthday celebration.

The Japanese rock band ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D posted on its blog on Saturday that its new song "Song for…" will serve as a "fitting" ending theme song for the Bleach anime's final season. However, the band has since removed the mention of Bleach anime's final season from its blog post, although Google retains a web cache of the original post. The song will be the ending theme of the anime starting on Tuesday.
Could it be possible that the band actually let slip the Anime was ending and then noticed their mistake? Honestly as I've said all along, with the end of Aizen coming soon and that arc being done in the manga, it'll actually be a perfect place to end the Anime and then pick it back up again later on down the road when the manga gets far enough ahead to prevent to use of adding a hundred more filler episodes.
So I honestly do believe it will be ending, and if it doesn't, well it should have.

Aaron Tru from MMAprime.tv caught up with UFC fighter Brandon "The Truth" Vera this week. Vera discussed his last fight against Shogun Rua, which was arguably the fight of the year and one of the most fan friendly fights in recent memory. Vera talks about an accidental injury after a trip to Hawaii, where he blew out his MCL during training. He expects to be out another 6 weeks before going back to hard training. For those who do not remember when Brandon Vera debuted inside of the Octagon, he was thought to have been a title contender in both the 205lbs light heavyweight division and the 205-265lbs heavyweight division. During that period, Vera had a unique swagger and aura of confidence surrounding him. Even though Vera lost the battle to Shogun Rua, he proved his warrior spirit and heart, fighting on when he could have quit and putting on a show for the fans till the bitter end when he suffered a tko defeat at the hands of the former Pride and UFC Champion Rua. That battle brought out the old Vera; the one who had that aura of confidence and swagger. Vera makes sure to let all of the 205lbs light heavyweight division know that that are on notice, because he is back and coming for them! All of a sudden, Pat "HD" Barry walks by and we had to invite him into the discussion. Barry had just cornered a fighter in the semi finals of the Bellator Tournament against a fighter from Brandon Vera's gym. Barry, regarded as the #1 corner man in MMA according to the UG faithful still had the adrenaline going from having literally been the corner man for a split decision victory within 5 minutes of the interview at the most, gave us a raw, uncut and real look into the emotions of a corner man. Pat Barry is then asked about people mentioning his name as a fighter who could step up to face Mark Hunt or another heavyweight on the UFC 160 card now that Overeem is injured and off the card against JDS. Barry offers to not only fight me, but to fight anyone at anytime. Barry continues on to say that he does not want to fight Mark Hunt, Brandon Vera or anyone else, but as a man and a fighter he will. Barry claims to have sensitive, female like hands, but we all know that he is really one of the most deadly and powerful punchers on earth. Barry proves to be a genuine person, who speaks from the heart and is caring of others. The opposite of a tough guy, thus proving the age old saying, that tough guys don't act tough. Having both Vera and Barry together, I asked them about their significant others: Brandon Vera is the husband of Kerry Vera, who is 2-0 in her undefeated campaign as a WMMA fighter and Pat Barry is boyfriend of rising WMMA star Rose "Thug" Namajunus. Both men are huge supporters of WMMA and go into detail about how they feel it will continue to grow and take off. They talk about how a mother is the most deadly thing on earth. Barry is such a fan of the movement and sport that he is so bold as to say, "If you aren't a fan of Invicta, get out of my face!"

(WOIO) - Every one of us who lives and votes in Cuyahoga County ought to feel ashamed.
As the final curtain begins to close on the huge federal corruption scandal, as the leading actors in this awful drama - Frank Russo and Jimmy Dimora - are led off to jail…we must remind ourselves that it was our votes who gave these foxes the keys to the hen house.
Were we just complacent after years of voting for these democratic party machine politicians that we couldn't help but trust them…blindly trust them? Or, heaven help us, were we so uninformed that we didn't know any better?
Well, the FBI and all those who worked on this painstaking two-year investigation should be proud of the results and we have them to thank for exposing the truth about so many of our elected officials.
Nevertheless, it's a sad time in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. We were all duped by this battalion of bums. Years ago, the comic strip character Pogo said it right: "We have met the enemy and he is us".

Saudi Arabia's call for greater unity among the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council will be achieved with a "common understanding" as the oil-bloc confronts regional turmoil and rising tensions with Iran.
"All members need to agree to unity, not just Bahrain and Saudi Arabia," the kingdom's foreign minister, Saud al-Faisal, said after a summit meeting yesterday in Riyadh. The GCC is in "full cooperation" to form a union, he said, adding that greater unity among GCC members will be achieved only following a "common understanding."
The world's largest petroleum-exporting bloc has accused Shiite Muslim-led Iran of seeking to foment unrest among the Shiite communities in the region, including Bahrain, where Saudi Arabia and other members sent troops to help put down an uprising last year. Iran denies interference.
The group met in the Saudi capital yesterday to discuss December proposals by Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah to strengthen the alliance into a unified entity, as well as on policies needed to contain unrest in Syria and the group's growing tensions with Iran. Bahrain's Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa said two days ago that regional circumstances make unity "an imperative."
The push for unity is driven by Saudi Arabia's desire to "organize Gulf foreign, defense and financial policies," Khalid al-Dakhil, a professor of political science at King Saud University in Riyadh, said in a phone interview. "The region is entering a new phase, and the GCC has to adjust."
Prince Saud's comments had been preceded by a statement from 190 Iranian lawmakers criticizing the alliance plans. They described any plans by Saudi Arabia to form a union with Bahrain as "unwise," the state-run Mehr news agency said yesterday.
Helicopter Patrols
Helicopters patrolled over the conference hall in Riyadh as GCC leaders and officials arrived for the summit. On the streets of Riyadh, GCC flags fluttered and a banner read "the strength of our Gulf is in our unity."
The United Arab Emirates this month recalled its ambassador from Tehran after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited the Persian Gulf island of Abu Musa which is claimed by both countries. Iran, controlled by a Shiite clerical leadership since 1979, has accused Bahrain's Sunni leaders of discriminating against the Shiite majority in the island nation.
The popular movements that swept away leaders in Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt and Libya in the past 17 months have been a catalyst for the GCC to close ranks and hasten change.
"No doubt, you all know we are targeted in our security and stability," King Abdullah said during the December summit. Saudi's Economy and Planning Minister Mohammed al-Jasser yesterday urged GCC leaders to seek "a path" to go from cooperation to union.
Customs Delay
The alliance, established in 1981, has been slow to integrate its economies, delaying plans on customs union until at least 2015. The decision to locate a proposed regional central bank in Saudi Arabia prompted the U.A.E., the second- biggest Arab economy, to pull out of a planned currency union. Other obstacles to regional integration include a ban on banks opening more than one branch in another member country.
"The economic benefits of GCC integration haven't materialized," Jarmo Kotilaine, chief economist at Jeddah-based National Commercial Bank, said in a phone interview yesterday. "To get those benefits they don't need official statements, they need to focus on implementation. Greater unity would bring greater trade and greater investments."
Union Talks
Only the people of Bahrain can talk about independence and no one has the right "to speak on behalf of the Bahraini people about any kind of confederation with any country," Bahrain's largest Shiite political group, Al-Wefaq, said in an e-mailed statement yesterday.
"When the European countries decided to move to a union, they went through discussions and everybody voted for or against the union," Ali Salman, the group's secretary-general, said in the statement. "While here, the union is forcefully imposed."
The GCC said in May 2011 that it may admit the Arab monarchies of Jordan and Morocco to the group, which has held out against pro-democracy movements sweeping across the region. In March last year, the GCC agreed to provide Oman and Bahrain with $10 billion each over a 10-year period to help offset the costs of unrest.

Tumble Down Mt. is a massif mountain with three distinctive peaks West, East and North. The West Peak is gotten to by the Loop Trail It's a strenuous hike. Below it's summit is the 700+ granite cliff that is known as the Great Ledge by hikers. It has had a large recent rock slide. Not problematic to rock climbing. The ledge is about 400ft and then a large tree band. After the trees there are many shorter sections of cliff below this summit that start as overhangs and steep corner chimneys before they're slab finishes. the main lower ledge has a steep slab section on it's western side. the central section is a giant v groove with tree band ledges and a series of overhangs are on it's eastern side. Far to the west of this ledge is another ledge that is shorter, approximately 300ft and mostly steep slab that terminates below the summit in forest.
Getting There
Turn left on 156 and go to Weld Village. Go straight through Weld and turn left at Webb Corner. Within about 1/2 mile, a logging road (Byron Road) leaves straight ahead in a 90 degree turn. The Brook Trail leaves Byron Road approximately 4.4 miles from Webb Corner. The Loop Trail also begins on Byron Road approximately 5.8 miles from Webb Corner. Both the Loop and Brook Trail heads are fairly well marked but use your common sense and watch the car's odometer.

This climb remains on the wide west side outside ramp ridge of the central depression. It has remained intact because it is away from the rock slides that have radically changed the appearance of the eastern ledges. I posted a route I haven't done. I believed I had until photos were posted, it appears I didn't do it. The A.M.C is a classic route and far better than what I climbed....[more] Browse More Classics in ME

Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson wants to be 'one of the best'
Now nearing the end of his second season in the NFL, Peterson intends to live up to the hype and be one of the league's elite.
"I am trying to get to that point where I can be recognized in the league as one of the best corners in the game," Peterson said.
The former LSU Tiger was named to the NFC Pro Bowl team as a kick returner last season, but Peterson said he would really like to receive the honor as a "shutdown cornerback."
"Hopefully I can get that this year. I've got three more games to continue to prove myself," Peterson said. "Hopefully I can get this interception number up even higher so it won't be a second guess or anything else holding me back from getting into the Pro Bowl."
Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton likes what he hears out of the young cornerback.
"I'm encouraging him to be bold and to be assertive," Horton said. "If he believes that and he wants to say it, I'm sure everybody else will try to cosign that check for him."
On Wednesday, Peterson said during a conference call he thinks he is "the best cornerback in the league right now."
Horton also said it is important for Peterson "to prove his elite status."
That chance will come on Sunday when Peterson will be asked to defend Detroit Lions star receiver Calvin Johnson, who has caught a touchdown pass in four of his last five games.
With 1,546 yards receiving, Johnson is only 303 yards short of Jerry Rice's single-season record.
"I believe it is definitely going to be a huge measuring stick for me," Peterson said. "Like I said yesterday (Thursday), statistically he is the number one receiver right now in the NFL."
Standing 6-foot-5 and weighing in at 236 pounds, Johnson is tough matchup for any cornerback, but Peterson doesn't seem fazed by his size.
"As far as Calvin, he likes the physicality of a cornerback coming up to the line of scrimmage and pressing him," Peterson said. "That is what I am going to do all game. Like I said, I am going to bring the fight to him."

It often takes a few tries for a bill to become a law in West Virginia, and in the issue of drug testing for government assistance, its time may have come.
House Bill 2527 was introduced Feb. 19 with 11 Republican sponsors.
The issue has been raised in the House of Delegates several times, but it was always seen as a part of the Republican agenda that never got much traction.
In fact, Senate Judiciary Chairman Corey Palumbo, D-Kanawha, says he can't remember the bill ever being entertained in the Senate.
"I don't think it's made it out of either chamber," Palumbo said. "This year, there may be a little more momentum for it.
"I know several states have now passed similar legislation, so I think it will probably get a little closer inspection this year."
The measure would create a drug testing program for applicants and recipients of temporary assistance for needy families, or TANF. Under the proposal, if a person fails the first drug test, he or she will be required to pass a second drug test in the next 30 to 60 days to maintain eligibility for the benefits.
If a person fails the second drug test, as the bill is drafted, that person would become ineligible for benefits for a period of two years, and another drug test would be mandatory as part of the reapplication for benefits.
House Speaker Rick Thompson said he supports legislation that keeps drug users from receiving public assistance, but he wants to be sure it's done properly.
"We must ensure that we protect the children whose families are affected, that participants are tested in a legal manner and that the Legislature adequately funds our state substance abuse treatment centers so people who test positive for drugs can receive proper treatment," Thompson said in a prepared statement.
The bill is scheduled to be debated in the House Judiciary Committee as well as the House Finance Committee. If it passes both committees, it would then be up to the full House of Delegates for a vote, and then the bill would be sent to the Senate for the same process.
And the Senate may have gained a few supporters for the idea.
"I know that it's been a big thing that Sen. (Craig) Blair has pushed for in the House, and now that he's in the Senate, I suspect we'll see a bill over here this year as well," Palumbo said.

USU Extension Professional Development Faculty and Staff
Self Assessment Tool
The Civil Rights Electronic Self Assessment Tool is designed to provide each USU Extension employee with the opportunity to self assess their understanding of key Civil Rights regulations, laws, and procedures. The tool simulates the topics and questions one might be asked to respond to in a formal Civil Rights audit. Determine your knowledge level and interactively click the response selection dot adjacent to the question that most closely matches your understanding. You should notice that if you need improvement in a question area there are on-line resource materials available to help you improve your understandings in that area. These resources can be accessed by clicking the highlighted colored type font in the question area of the tool.
If you need improvement in a particular question area there is an interactive self improvement box at the end of the tool in which you type your improvement plan. Be sure to specify in the improvement plan box the number and letter associated with your plan. e.g. 8a – Plan to better understand the racial and ethnic makeup of the county in which I work by reviewing the most current US Census information.
Upon completion of the assessment tool, along with any necessary improvement plans, click the button at the end of the tool "Assessment Completed". A certificate of self assessment is provided that should be printed and filed in your personal civil rights reference materials. [If you are employed by Extension in a County office please provide a hard copy of your personal self assessment to the County Director for the County Central Civil Rights File.] Annually review your understanding of key civil rights law, regulations and procedures by retaking this civil rights assessment and documenting your efforts with a new printed certificate.

Happy Friday!
It's sample sale season my friends, and everyone from Nordstrom to Alexander Wang to Helmut Lang (!) is discounting their duds. I'm about to head into the city to do some damage before our Fashion Bomb Staff Dinner tonight (stay tuned for pix on Intagram @FashionBombDaily). But first, let's solve a slew of Mail Bombs!
A lot of you were more interested in Sasha and Malia Obama's Election Day outfits than you were in The First Lady's Michael Kors look:
Shelly wrote, "They all looked SO beautiful last night. Any details on Sasha's outfit and shoes? I'm loving that green and she looks about my size." KBS typed, "Can I get some deets on Malia's skirt?" Nikki added, "I was wondering if you know what the first daughters wore on election night. They looked so stylish!"
Like their mom, the girls kept it modest, with Malia in what's been widely reported to be a J.Crew silk organza skirt (similar to this) and Sasha in a sweet emerald skirt from Chris Benz's Spring 2010 Collection (previously worn by her sister).
Both girls apparently wore J.Crew flats. Recreate both of their looks with these pieces:
Next up, Shane types, "Please help me find the outfits on Adrienne and Julissa. They posted this on their Instagram and I'm dying to know where I can find Julissa's skirt? Thank you fashion bomb!"
Yep! As we reported here, Adrienne wore an A.L.C Cullen Colorblock Dress.
As for Julissa, she belted a $148 Modie Crochet-Fringe Skirt from BCBG Max Azria:
Get both their looks here:
Nicki was on Media Takeout when she saw this picture:
She wrote, " This dress is perfect for the warmer months! Any idea where I can get one or something similar? Thanks in advance!"
We all know Emily saves on her separates, frequenting ASOS, BCBG, and the like. This particular $64 bodycon is from Topshop's Summer collection:
It's sold out in pink, but Topshop does indeed have the same print in Burgundy for the winter months!
Get it here.
Sam says, "LOVE this outfit, where on earth can I find these boots!?"
Miranda Kerr paired a $585 Alexander Wang Rubberized Tweed Dress with Hermès over-the-knee boots and a Givenchy Antigona bag. Love this look, too!
Get it here:
Find store locations to purchase her boots at Hermes.com.
Quita writes, "I recently saw this picture of Ciara's boots and I instantly fell in love, deeply in love."
".. I saw them again on one of her dancers. I usually can find things on my own but I can't seem to find them. Please help."
Not 100% sure as the picture isn't clear, but it looks like Cici could be wearing these Agyness Dean for Dr. Martens over-the-knee boots:
If that's close enough, get 'em for $325 at UrbanOutfitters.com.
In a wardrobe query, Sherly says, "Where can I find something like this but in black? Please help!!!"
Yep! Hope these work:
In an e-mail titled, "Short Girl Problems", Ayonna says, "I see that knee high boots and oversized sweaters are a big trend now, but how do I pull these trends off being a mere 5ft without looking weighed down? Thank You."
Hey! Not every trend is made for every body type! But as with everything, it's all about balance. If you're going to wear an oversized sweater, pair it with close fit pants and pumps.
If you must wear thigh high boots, try rocking it with a mini or, again, with close fit pants and a tunic or a hip length jacket.
There's always a way to finesse something! If you ever have doubts, hop on Google and find celebs with similar body types to yours. See how they play with proportions and go from there!
Now for a few Unsolved Mail Bombs!
Dana says, "Malaysia Pargo was wearing this top on a recent ep of BBWLA please help me find it. Or similar."
Sandra types, " I Love this look on Brandy during the Black Girls Rock event. I know you posted on these shorts before but who are the boots and shirt by?"
Lastly, Chris says, "What sunglasses is 2 chainz wearing in his "luv dem strippers" video?"
Mr. Chainz tends to wear frames from VintageFramesCompany. I didn't look, but my guess is that they're old school Cazal.
If you know the exact brand, leave a comment!
I'm off to enjoy the day, I hope you do the same.

The G2 Crowd team is made up of passionate entrepreneurs, designers, marketers, and engineers with substantial experience building successful online businesses and working for some of the world's leading companies. The co-founders had prior success building a market leading business together at BigMachines, which was acquired by Oracle in 2013 for over $400 million. The team is committed to building the best site for business software reviews and to having fun while doing it.
Godard Abel
Godard previously founded BigMachines, a leading software as a service (SaaS) provider which he grew profitably from scratch to $50 million in revenue while building a global team of 250. BigMachines was sold to Vista and JMI Equity at a valuation of well over $100 million, and has since been acquired by Oracle. After this successful exit, Godard stepped down as CEO in 2011 and took time off to pursue two goals: playing a scratch round of golf and qualifying for the Boston Marathon. As of April 2013, he's accomplished both. Born in Germany, but raised and educated in the US at MIT and Stanford, Godard is an odd combination of a laid back German and determined, precise American engineer. While his coding skills are rusty, he once wrote a simulation program at MIT that ran on a Cray.
Tim Handorf
Tim has spent over 15 years developing and delivering software in a variety of roles including professional services and product management. Prior to G2 Labs, Tim was responsible for Product Management at BigMachines and led efforts to deliver the top-rated quoting tool on Salesforce.com's AppExchange for three years in a row. Tim loves making life better by solving problems using software technology. Tim is passionate about working an entrepreneurial environment, where each day is unique and learning is constant. Tim grew up in rural Iowa on his family farm, so building software was a natural transition. When not at work, he helps coach his kids wrestling team and serves at his local church. Tim is a man of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by his mystery.
Mark Myers
Mark started in desktop publishing as a young lad and has had a passion for design ever since. He has been working in multimedia design since 1994. Mark has a passion for user experience and loves to use his design training to delight software users. He has a surprisingly wide vocabulary, but prefers to communicate through simple "Markisms" including: "Fact", "Are you winning" and "true story". For a complete list of "Markisms" visit Markisms.net . When not spending time with his family, he enjoys long walks, awkward dancing to Huey Lewis (and the news), improving his Usability skills, as well as scaling the always dangerous sar-chasm.
Mike Wheeler
Mike is a hardcore VIM power-user, whose weapons of choice include closure, lazy instantiation, and promises. He came to G2Crowd from TapJoy, where he helped to launch a mobile web product to an audience of more than 3 million users. Mike also spent four years on the BigMachines team, harnessing the latest web standards to design, build, and launch innovative web applications. Valedictorian of his class at Menlo College, Mike was also a captain on the wrestling team and Academic All American. In his free time he inhabits coffee shops, works out, and finds excuses to travel.
Matt Gorniak
Matt is a seasoned high tech executive that has worked in leadership roles for global leaders GE, CAT, and EMC, as well as software start-ups such as OctetString (sold to Oracle). Most recently Matt led alliances and sales at BigMachines and grew revenue from $2 to $50 million making BigMachines one of Inc. 5000′s Fastest Growing companies for five years in a row. When not spending time with his new bride, he can be found glued to his iPad managing his stock portfolio. Matt was born in Poland, raised in Germany, and studied in the US. He is a techie deep down as he started programming and using online bulletin boards as a teen back in the 1980s.
Hamed Asghari
Senior Software Engineer
Hamed has been working as a back-end developer since 2011. His passions are writing optimized, modularized code and learning elegant design patterns. He spends most of his time working in Ruby, Javascript and Go. When he's not coding, Hamed can be found watching or playing soccer, organizing his tracksuit collection, and de-seeding pomegranates.
Kenny Browne
Software Engineer
Kenny studied Computer Engineering at DeVry University, graduated with a 4.0, and started his career at BigMachines during his final semester. Kenny then went on to receive his Masters in Software Engineering from California State University-Fullerton. At BigMachines he spent 3.5 years working on complex technical problems with an end user focus. Kenny enjoys working with the latest technologies and even created a real time online task board using Node.js for his final Masters project. Kenny is G2 Crowd's foremost expert on all things Zombie since he has read over 300 zombie novels in the last couple years in addition to all of the other Sci-Fi/Fantasy books he has found. When not at G2 Crowd he enjoys reading, playing halo, and spending time with family.
Molly O'Hare
Marketing Manager
Molly turned a background in writing and editing into the foundation for a career in tech-focused marketing/communications. After earning a journalism degree and completing several newspaper internships, Molly pivoted and joined OneCommunity, a nonprofit focused on expanding high-speed broadband access and adoption in Northeast Ohio. Molly also spent time in the editorial department at Groupon before coming to G2 Crowd. Molly loves living in Chicago, but is a proud native of Cleveland. When she's not watching the Browns, Indians, or Cavs lose, she enjoys brunch, bar trivia, and training for marathons.
Brad Rosen
Director of Community Management
Brad studied finance at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is currently pursuing his MBA at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He began his career in structured finance and worked as a Wealth Management Trust Manager for U.S. Bank. After realizing that startups were his calling, he most recently held the role of VP – Business Development for Toodalu, a mobile loyalty application development company. When Brad is not working or in school, you can find him on the golf course or managing his fantasy leagues. Brad is originally from Detroit and thinks Michigan and Wisconsin are the two greatest places on earth – just ask him.
Ben Legman
Research Manager
Ben studied public policy at the University of Michigan and began his career at Navigant Consulting. He found his passion in startups and comes to G2 Crowd after starting The Jobtimist, a personalized job search website. Ben is originally from New Jersey and much to the dismay of the G2 Crowd team, does not have a strong Jersey accent. When not at the office, you can find Ben outside on the tennis courts, skiing, or planning his next travels.
Alex Pike
Vendor Engagement
Alex's career has taken some interesting turns. A Biological Sciences major with a concentration in Biotechnology and Chemistry at DePaul University, he began his career in clinical trial management software at Velos, Inc. He was then recruited by the company across the hall, Dataguise, a big data security solutions startup in California. Alex has since relocated to Chicago and gotten married. When not working, Alex enjoys spending time with his wife and watching Star Trek.

Need help finding Plow manual (100)
I have finally located a 1-F11 plow for my 100 with fast hitch. This plow is very similar to the CUB-F11 on Rudi's site. I need a manual and cannot find one. Binder Books has not located anything yet. Anyone have any ideas where I can look for one. Thanks
The four most expensive words in tractor restoration: "We might as well..."
Sounds like the manual you need is about as common as a Cub-54 Manual
Sure hope you find one.
