TCU finished the 2013 season with a record of 29-28, their worst season since 2002 when the Frogs went 30-29 under then head coach Lance Brown.
Jim Schlossnagle's next worst season: 2004, when the team went 39-26, won the C-USA tournament, and made it to the Austin Regional.
10 years of sustained excellence, postseason play, and general dominance of just about every conference TCU played in, until this year. My, how the mighty have fallen.
Many, many of you have written me throughout the season with similar messages: "What is going on with this team? Where is the fight? Why can't we turn the corner?"
Current players, former players, player parents, current TCU Athletics staff, life-long fans of the team... It was more clear this year than any year prior that TCU Baseball has a legion of dedicated, ardent followers, and they were hurting for most of 2013.
I remember talking to a member of the staff after the Ole Miss series, and the general feeling was, "We're ok... The bats will come around, we have been unlucky... the baseball gods are testing us... we will figure this out."
Another popular refrain: "We are too good to not turn this ship around."
For a moment, that seemed true, when TCU pulled to 8-9 overall with a win over Kansas, capping off a four game winning streak. But it was all downhill from there.
By the time TCU had dropped a 5-4 decision to DBU on a Tuesday night, the refrain had changed: "Maybe... we aren't good enough to turn this ship around."
There are a lot of factors that played into this teams demise: Schedule, talent, fight, coaching, the MLB Draft... But, with the benefit of hindsight, I think it is fair to say that that is the most honest assessment of the 2013 team: They just weren't that good.
(The following is my opinion and does not necessarily reflect the views or reality of any member of the TCU Baseball organization)
The Gary Patterson model of non-conference scheduling needs to be applied.
- One stretch series, where you play a team at home who is better than you or you play an equal on the road.
- Two push series, where you play an equal at home or a slightly lower level team on the road.
- Rest are winners, series that you should win, regardless of where they are played.
When we were in the CUSA and the MWC, we had to be much more aggressive to try and supplement a lackluster conference schedule. No more in the Big 12, which will always be a top 4 conference nationally.
I won't spend much time on this one, because it is A) The lowest level issue, and B) Has already been publicly addressed by Schloss and we will see changes starting in 2015.
(The following is my opinion and does not necessarily reflect the views or reality of any member of the TCU Baseball organization)
This is the one most fans point to.
This is the one that makes the most sense on paper.
This is the one that will be the hardest to implement, and that is the bottom line.
You all know the history: Following TCU's historic 2010 season, Todd Whitting (then the teams hitting/position coach) left for the head coaching job at Houston.
(Updated to reflect accuracy)
He was replaced by Tony Vitello, an up and coming pitching coach and recruiter from Missouri. And, from my perspective: A friend of mine, who was a part of the Missouri program during several Vitello years, has a clear memory of his role at Mizzou: Vitello was much more of a pitching coach, not a hitting coach, coaching the position players was not his strong suit. According to him, all efforts to paint Vitello as both hitting and pitching coach at Missouri are misleading at best. But, as is still the case at TCU, Vitello was tremendously respected by players and helped, through his recruiting efforts, turn that program around.
TCU, at this point, had three pitching coaches (if you include Schloss).
Following the 2011 season, long time assistant coach Ryan Shotzberger, who had primarily handled the fielders and catchers for TCU (while also being a vocal leader), left for a full-time gig with Whitting at Houston.
He was replaced by Chuck Jeroloman, a young man who had just retired from pro ball and came into the gig with zero coaching experience on his resume. He was tasked, fairly or not, with coaching the hitters alongside Vitello.
Following the 2012 season, longtime pitching coach Randy Mazey left for the head job at West Virginia.
He was replaced with an up and coming star, Kirk Saarloos, who in just a few years at Cal-State Fullerton had made a name for himself as a strong pitching coach and quality recruiter.
So, to recap: To start 2013, TCU had three pitching coaches, Schloss/Saarloos/Vitello, and one "hitting coach", Jeroloman.
What most don't know is that during the 2012 season, it is my understanding that there was a small change made in "responsibilities" on the staff mid-way through the season. Jeroloman (the guy who had been coaching for less than a year) took more responsibility in coaching the hitters, while Vitello stepped to the side, technically "sharing" the job with Jeroloman but also focusing much more on his new primary job, head recruiter for TCU.
These roles stayed the same in 2013, with Vitello visibly absent at times from games and Jeroloman working 100% with the hitters.
This history, and foundation of understanding, leads to my primary point: It is my belief that Jim Schlossnagle has had three chances to make his staff right since the Whitting departure, but hasn't been able to do so. To take it a step further: In my opinion, the best thing for TCU would be to have Vitello take a pitching coach job/head coaching job elsewhere, let Jeroloman go, and bring in a true hitting/position coach along side Saarloos and Schloss. Before you go off, let me explain.
The NCAA limits baseball coaching staffs to one head coach, two full-time assistants, and one volunteer assistant coach.
Thus, in my belief, there is no room at all for one coach to be a "full-time recruiter".
Don't get me wrong, Tony Vitello is a very, very good recruiter... Some of the best talent TCU has seen, including the excellent 2011, 2012, 2013 and still forming 2014 classes were his production. He has a very bright future ahead of him as a coach and recruiter, and I hate the idea of having him recruit players away from TCU.
But, you just can't have a full-time recruiter on staff... That burden has to be shared amongst the three primary paid coaches. Just like you can't have the burden of hitting coach left to a volunteer assistant with no coaching experience.
The other option would be to let Saarloos go and move Vitello to full-time pitching coach, but I have a sneaking suspicion that if this was a truly feasible option, it would have happened already, and Kirk Saarloos wouldn't be here.
Who is on my list to replace Vitello? Mike Martin Jr. (Florida State), Todd Butler (Arkansas), and Dan Fitzgerald (DBU). Might as well aim high, right?
But, none of this is going to happen (other than Jeroloman not coming back). It won't happen until Schloss is ready to take a more active role in recruiting again, and none of it will happen because doing this would require letting go one of the best recruiters in the nation. (As the saying goes, there are no simple solutions to a complex problem, there will always be collateral damage)
I think it is now arguable now (hadn't been in previous years, but is now) that the staff is an impediment to continued success at TCU, but I'm not holding my breath. I absolutely, 100% still believe in the leadership of Jim Schlossnagle, I still believe he knows in his heart what needs to happen. But, as I said before, we have had multiple opportunities to get things right since the departure of Todd Whitting, and so far we are 0 - 3 in my book.
(The following is my opinion and does not necessarily reflect the views or reality of any member of the TCU Baseball organization)
(You know, at least he said, "With all due respect...", because that makes it better)
I have a standard rule: When an athlete is enrolled at TCU, they get a certain amount of leash from me. Limited direct criticism focused only on performance, and no intrusion into a players personal life. An example of this: Not releasing why three players were dismissed from TCU midseason in 2012.
But, for this one occasion, I have to break my rule... In my mind, when a player goes out of his way to reach out to the public and say something, he loses his protection, he took the risk, he has to live with the consequences.
I look at this roster, and I see talent. The majority of it is on the pitching staff, but there are some real gem position players as well. Witte has always produced at third, Hendrix has tons of tools, Cron has loads of potential, Odell has some tools and Featherston-like moxy... There is something there.
But, in 2013, there were exceptions to each of these rules.
Witte has talent, but refused to truly lead, and instead decided to be everybody's friend (can't fault the guy, not everyone is made to be a scream in your face leader).
Hendrix has tools, but the coaching staff didn't trust him in the field until a quarter of the way through the season...
Cron still has potential, but there is literally something blinding him from achieving it... Seudo-ego? Lack of coaching? Regardless, the man can't see a breaking ball to save his life.
And finally, Derek Odell... He is Taylor Featherston-lite, in that he has 100% the attitude of T-Bird, half the range, half the glove, and 75% of the hit tool and potential.
Regarding the direct message I received: That was after saying I didn't think Odell would get back on 2B full-time now that Hendrix was there (he didn't), and no I did not respond to his message. What would I have said?
(And besides, who cares? I am sure he doesn't actually want me dead... And to that end, there was a hilarious encounter in Manhattan, Kansas this year, when my fiance and I were stopping for ice cream after dinner and ran into a group of 5-6 players doing the same thing. Everyone recognized each other, but there was no point in making a scene... Kudos to those young men on keeping their cool and not deciding to be Mr. Hot Shot, I was impressed.)
There are many, many, many other stories just like this one that could be shared, but what is the point? The point I would like to make is simple: We are dealing with young adult males, who don't always make good decisions and often make the wrong ones, it isn't just Odell and Odell isn't the first and won't be the last bad-attitude to ever take the field at Lupton.
There is a fine line you walk when building a contender: You have to balance leaders, talent, head cases and all the rest in a delicate mixture that produces and reaches, as a group, its maximum potential... A major problem this year was that clearly, this team, was a bad mixture.
You don't always have a Holaday, but you always need a leader. You will NEVER have no head cases, but at a certain point, when the bad attitudes are the plurality and there is no leader to focus them or, if needed, put them in their place, you aren't going to see much success, regardless of the sport.
Derek Odell has potential, scouts see him as a infielder but also as a potential catcher at the next level. To that end, Boston was willing to offer Odell major money (six figures) after drafting him in the 42nd round (2011) to explore exactly this possibility.
But, regardless of the potential, sometimes treating the cancer doesn't work. Sometimes, the hard decision has to be made, and you just have to cut bait and run. To be clear, I don't necessarily want to see Odell go, but I do want to see these guys grow up, I do want to see a different approach to the game (no longer a child's game). If he can do that as a Horned Frog, I want him in purple, simple as that. If he can't?
I don't know what is going to happen with the returning players (sans Mitchell and Seidenberger, more on that next week), I doubt any will be told to find a new pasture. But, if you are putting together a winning formula on paper right now, I don't know how you don't address the current personnel issue in the same way you would every other aspect of your program.
There are many, many other issues we could address... But, these three items stick out most clearly to me, as I am sure they do to most fans who watched this team flounder all year long. Being smarter about your schedule, getting your staff balanced, and getting the right formula of players on your roster seem like simple changes, but there is no doubt they will be hard ones to make... Hopefully, for the team's sake, something is done so that 2014 is the year TCU gets back to business.
But hey, what do I know?

These errings are a bright blue - ICE blue not smokey blue as pictured. Very disappointed with the color.
Stunningly beautiful...a master craftsman. When I opened the package my friend loved them, so I gave them to her right then and there. Now I'm ordering a second pair for myself.
Very tiny for the price!! They did not hang straight and I returned them.
Ordered these earrings for myself. Very impressed with the quality and size. I wear them to work and get great compliments all the time. Will be buying more Novica products if this is typical of their standards!!
The earings are very beautiful but lighter in color than what is pictured. Very elegant.
These earrings sparkle and the light blue matches with my everyday wear both at the office and after hours. They are great!

Dryers can be rebuilt, replaced with new or with reman units.
STRONG recommendation: Because of the importance of your air system (brakes and suspension) I would only go with factory parts (the ones who built your air dryer) or replacements. This is not a place to save a few bucks by allowing them to use "almost as good" parts.
If you look at the dryer, you can determine the brand. That will help when you start calling around. Your chassis maker could also tell you what dryer you have.

Skype v Facetime, Mac to Mac
Just wondering if there has been a good test of this, or in anyone's experience here, which is a better(read: lighter) system.
Basically my girlfriend has poor Internet and am struggling to maintain a Skype conversation, and wondering whether it's worth her time buying the FaceTime for Mac App.
FaceTime seems much more barebones and possibly lighter, but I don't know if it is.

The Dream.... I mean Eagles are now on the clock. Just by looking at their rankings you would have thought that the Eagles finished in the playoffs, but they had 5 4th quarter leads and blew them. 2012 will be Andy Reid last year with the Eagles if they do not make the Super Bowl. Andy took blame for the Defensive when he named his O-Line coach as the DC. Babin the douche had a good year only because he had Washburn as his D-Line coach who can get production out of almost every player he coaches. Vick didn't have a good year and just like the end of 2010 where teams started to figure out how to defend him, but that didn't stop the them to signing him to 100mil contract.

It started with a scheduled buy. Authorities say the 27-year-old man
with tattoos covering a quarter of his face had more than 200 grams of
methamphetamine stuffed in his striped, button-down shirt. He had more

He went to a hotel near Interstate 75 and Shallowford Road to make the deal.
It never happened.
Federal agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency; Bureau of Alcohol

The idea that women should be able to share non-sexually objectifying images of their bodies, a form of counter-speech to our pervasive sexual objectification, eludes many people, who seem to skim the surface of what the core issues are.

CRESTWOOD, KY (WAVE) - Fresh off his performance in Thursday night's Vice-Presidential debate in Danville, Paul Ryan will stay in the Bluegrass.
He'll attend a lunch fundraiser in Oldham county and the ticket doesn't come cheap at $1000 to just get in the door.
"This is probably his only fundraiser in Kentucky that I'm aware of," said Republican state Senator Ernie Harris of the Ryan event.
The picturesque Taylor Creek Farm in Crestwood, Kentucky plays host to the VIP luncheon in the Congressman's honor at the digs of Texas Roadhouse CEO Kent Taylor.
"It's going to be a partisan crowd, we know that but, it will carry well for Oldham county," Harris told WAVE 3 News.
Harris said getting to meet anyone who could be the Vice President is a big deal.
And if Ryan does turn out to be VP, the event could bring positive returns for the Commonwealth. " If he's elected, " Harris said, "He can say, yeah, I've been to Oldham county and I've met some people from Louisville and around the area, which can only benefit us in the state."
Former Jefferson County GOP Chair Bill Stone can't wait to meet Ryan.
The Congressman's fundraiser is the second event Stone will attend this year for the Romney/ Ryan ticket. He met Mitt Romney at the Anchorage home of another giant in the food industry: Papa John's Pizza founder John Schnatter.
Stone says he liked what he heard from Romney and he likes how Ryan speaks about public policy.
Stone also added, " He's a neighbor of two of my liberal children who live in Madison, Wisconsin and he lives right down the road in Janesville and they should be very proud of him."
While details of the event are under wraps, the invitation states: The reception is $1000 per person, the VIP photo reception is $2500, and if you want to eat with Ryan? $25,000.
"I'm sure they'll raise a lot of money," Stone told WAVE 3.
Stone says besides raising money, these events become important to candidates on both sides this close to the election because they measure the enthusiasm of their base.
Vice President Joe Biden isn't slowing down either.
He heads into Ryan country Friday afternoon for a visit to the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse.
According to a Marquette Law School poll early this month, the Obama/Biden ticket was leading the state with 53 percent of voter support compared to 42 percent for Romney.

Per ProFootballTalk.com, former Colts 1st-rounder, WR Anthony Gonzalez has signed with the New England Patriots.
This fanposter is heavily in the minority, but I had hoped that Gonzo would be given a new chance with the new regime. Obviously Polian wasn't fond of him, or he would have actually played last season (for which he was healthy most the season). But, as is the case with almost the entire rest of the Indy squad (except for Reggie and Robert), if you have name recognition, you aren't coming back.
As a Colts fan, I wish the best to all former Colts on their new teams (so long as they weren't complete jerks). So, I hope all of Colts nation will join me in wishing Gonzo the best. Specifically,
I wish this for Anthony Gonzalez: that he is the top receiver on an 0-16 Patriots squad this year!!!

Bernie Goldberg Debunks Sam Donaldson: Right Wing 'Would Love' a Conservative Black President
NewsBusters reported Saturday that ABC's former White House correspondent Sam Donaldson said a lot of conservatives oppose Barack Obama simply because he's black.
On Fox News's O'Reilly Factor Monday, political commentator Bernie Goldberg thoroughly debunked Donaldson's claim with an inconvenient truth liberal media members dishonestly ignore: people on the Right "would love" a conservative black president. "They'd love him" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
BILL O'REILLY, HOST: This is not the first time Donaldson has made an accusation, a general accusation that if you criticize Barack Obama for immigration or whatever you criticize him for, it's because is he black. Now, I say this, this is what I said in my radio commentary today. Number one, this is unseemly because Donaldson can't back it up. Am I a racist because I criticized Barack Obama because it may be unconstitutional what he did last Friday? Am I racist because of that? You see, Donaldson, this is cheap. And that's what angers me about it.
BERNIE GOLDBERG: Right. Listen, we've heard this approximately 22 million times from liberals inside and outside of the media: if you disagree with Barack Obama it must be because you are a racist. It can't possibly be because you disagree with him on ObamaCare or the stimulus or the amount of…
O'REILLY: Where does it come from? Where does that come from?
GOLDBERG: I'm going to tell you right now. It comes from liberals like Sam Donaldson looking at things through this racial prism because, and this is the important part, because it makes them feel better about themselves, because then they can say, "You see, I'm one of the good white people, I'm not like those right-wing bigots."
But if Sam is listening tonight and he may very well be - you know, Sam's a smart guy - I would ask him this: do you really think, Sam, do you really think that those people that you call right-wing bigots, racists, do you really think they'd be racist towards a black man, a conservative black man who was President of the United States? I think they'd love him. I think they'd love him. And I think if you think about it for a second, Sam, you might agree with that, that it's clearly his liberal politics that these conservatives don't like not the color of his skin.
O'REILLY: But what I don't understand is this: Sam Donaldson, why does Sam Donaldson have to feel better about himself? Does he feel guilty for being a left-wing guy? I mean, you know, if you are a left-wing guy, that's fine. Why do you have to feel guilty about anything?
GOLDBERG: That's a good question. There's a brilliant scholar out on the West Coast at the Hoover Institution named Shelby Steele, and Shelby Steele writes about this and talks about this, and he calls it good racial manners. It's a way white people, some white people, take care of their guilt, because they feel guilty that, "Look where I am and maybe I wouldn't be here if I were black." So they go out of their way to show, and this is Shelby Steele's phrase, "their good racial manners." And Sam Donaldson is doing exactly that.
As always, Goldberg made some great points.
First off, there are black Republicans that are by conservatives including former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, author Thomas Sowell, Florida Congressman Allan West, former Tennessee Congressman J.C. Watts, Herman Cain, and even former Secretary of State Colin Powell before he became an Obama sycophant.
As such, and quite contrary to the offensive media meme Donaldson was echoing Saturday, it's Obama's policies the Right abhor NOT his skin color.
As for liberal guilt and "good racial manners," let's not forget that aside from the press's pathetic behavior during the 2008 presidential campaign, the main reason Obama defeated Hillary Clinton in the primaries and eventually beat John McCain is precisely because of such "guilt" and "manners."
Nicely said, Bernie. Bravo!

Donaldson pines for a 'Highway with no one on it.'
Submitted by ChrisNH on Tue, 06/19/2012 - 9:54am.
All Leftist media hacks lament the state of things today. They pine for the days when theirs was a highway with no one on it. Today they whine about Twitter, Facebook, blogs...conveniently ignoring that 'Their Side' swims in that pool, too. In the end, what Leftists are doing is 'preparing Obama's epitaph.' You can clearly see the excuse-making going on, and Leftists are--like Sammy Donaldson here--'declaring' something to be true that clearly isn't. Of COURSE the charge of 'racism' is a hollow one; we LOVE conservative blacks. But Sammy Donaldson wants to whistle by Obama's graveyard by declaring that it's his blackness rather than his radical Liberalism that people despise. And that if he loses in November and ObamaCare is demolished (in whole or in part, it's still 'demolished'), then it will be for no other reason than 'racism.'

we don't like Obama becuase he's a marxist nothiong else. We don't like his political ideology. Color has nothing to do with it, however he's the one that will play the old black versus white. Remember "if there are people out there that don't agree with me then get to the back of the bus. How soon they forget. One more thing I want to mention that everyone seems to not remember his good friend Bill Ayers tried to blow up a federal judges home in the Riverdale section of the Bronx back around 68. The judge's name was Murtagh.

Bernie's wrong. Speaking as a conservative, I don't want a conservative black president.
I want a conservative president. If he happens to be black, that's fine as long as he's not part of that New Plantation Party.
I just don't want any kind of Democrat-Anything ever again for president, seen too much of how much trouble they can cause.

Submitted by texastommy on Tue, 06/19/2012 - 10:22am.
The point is that, according to black activists and liberals everywhere, REAL blacks can't be conservative. If a black person is conservative, he's an "Uncle Tom," or an "Oreo." Ipso facto, Donaldson is correct in his thinking.

It is the standard propaganda
Submitted by John21 on Tue, 06/19/2012 - 10:48am.
It is the standard propaganda media statement.
They got a incompetent man elected to the White House with no experience or leadership capability and it shows. They now need to justify their bias and the liberal agenda so the play the race card. In Mr. Donaldson case it is probably an attempt to remind people that he still exists and to stroke his ego that anyone still wants to hear what he has to say. He was once a good reporter and at least hid his bias well, not so much anymore.
They also have got to hang onto the black vote, no matter how bad things are because of Obamas administrations policy and blaming the white man is better than telling them who is really responsible for their problems.

If I called President Obama a Mulatto...
Submitted by Conservator on Tue, 06/19/2012 - 2:14pm.
...would I be called a racist? At the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2009, Wanda Sykes did used that bigoted word in reference to Obama.
"...This is amazing, you're the first black president. I'm proud to be able to say. But that's unless you screw up. And then it's going to be, 'What's up with that half-white guy? Who voted for the mulatto. What the hell?..."
Of course that's humorous to some people. And that's my point; it's perfectly fine for a black lesbian comedian to use such language. Regarding Sam Donaldson's moronic comment - a lot of conservatives oppose Barack Obama simply because he's black - I have just one question. What happened in four years?
According to exist polls in the 08 presidential race, President Obama carried 20% of the votes cast by those who identified themselves as conservatives. Obama's reelection bid is in trouble. He's being criticized by pundits on the left and right presently. Are they all racists? Or is the real answer people have examined his record as President and don't like his policies? - IMO, it's the latter and I agree with Bernie Goldberg's analysis completely.

MyHeritage discovers heirs for unclaimed assets confiscated during WWII
We have often discussed the importance of building family trees and how genealogy can be used to make exciting family discoveries.
Gilad Japhet, MyHeritage's Founder & CEO, read an article a few months ago concerning the compensation for Jewish-owned German property that had been confiscated by the Nazis during World War II.
The article linked to a list compiled by the Claims Conference of around 40,000 properties (homes, buildings, stores and factories) located in former East Germany. The descendants of these property owners are entitled to compensation.
Gilad initiated a project to use MyHeritage resources to try and match the people on this list, the original property owners, with their living descendants. Continue reading "MyHeritage discovers heirs for unclaimed assets confiscated during WWII" »
RootsTech 2013: Day 1
On Wednesday morning, following the keynote address, the doors opened and thousands of people came through. All of our computers were in use in a matter of minutes.
Last night's FamilySearch.org annual blogger dinner was informative.
As far as attendance stats, we were told that - as of last evening - some 6,800 people had registered. Last year, a little over 4,000 had come through the exhibit halls. In addition, the group has made a concerted effort to bring in young people. An additional nearly 2,000 young people, ages 12-18, will be here on Saturday. And this isn't even counting the numbers around the world you will see live streaming of a number of great programs during the event.
For the first time, organizers said, viewing centers were set up in six countries as a pilot program which is expected to continue and expand in the future.
We video-recorded interviews with Cindy Howells of Cyndi's List, Dick Eastman, Randy Seaver and DearMyrtle, and hope to being them to you soon.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) – It seems like business as usual at Miscelanea Guante-Mex now, but look behind the counter and you'll see candles and flowers for 19-year-old Sentos Vicente in the spot where he died.
Surveillance video shows him at the counter doing reports for purchases when two robbers burst in last Friday night. 16-year old Enrique Locus said, "two black men came in, one had a gun. They came in and demanded money."
Locus was also behind the counter out of the camera's view. "I went straight to the floor behind that chair. My friend opened the cash register," he said.
The store has been robbed at least three times before. The young clerks told the robbers to take the money. "They wanted more," Locus said. "The other guy asked his partner to come around and get more money, because my friend did have money in his hand but tried to hide it. My friend didn't want to give the money and tried to take the gun away from him."
During the struggle Vicente was able to trip an alarm. "He did manage to press the alarm, when it went off I think that's what bothered the other one," Locus said. The gun went off and Vicente was shot in the head.
He was from Guatemala and had been here for about four years. Hector Perez is a customer at the store who is also from Guatemala. He didn't know the victim but said "it's very sad for the family and the community." He hopes the suspects face justice. "It'll be good if they caught them, so they don't continue robbing more stores," Perez told us in Spanish.
Though the killing still haunts him, Locus has fond memories of his friend. "He was funny, friendly and nice. He was here to better his life, and he was young.""
The store has a good security system that provided clear surveillance video of the crime, but the covered faces make the killers hard to recognize. The store does have a buzz button to enter and exit the store during late hours, but last Friday it was not working. Another worker tells us they plan to fix the safety lock on the door soon.
Friends plan to take Vicente's body back to Guatemala. They'll collect donations to help the family at that store at 2121 Radium Springs Road. Vicente is survived by two brothers and an uncle here in this country.
If you know anything about that robbery and murder, call Crime Stoppers at 436-TIPS. There is a reward in this case.

Cannabis factory found after blaze destroys home
Updated 12:02pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in News By John Hoskins, Court Reporter
POLICE discovered a cannabis factory after fire broke out in a rural home. The discovery was made when Hampshire and Rescue Service was called out to deal with a blaze engulfing a bungalow.
More than 25 firefighters battled in vain to save the detached property.
With the fire becoming ever more intense, six firefighters had to wear breathing apparatus and used three jets and two high-pressure hoses.
The blaze could have been even fiercer but the fire crews stopped the inferno from reaching a domestic oil tank about ten yards from the bungalow. They also stopped the flames reaching a car left in the garage.
Then one of the fire officers near the fire had to be taken to hospital after he was thought to be suffering a medical reaction while dealing with the intense fire which broke out on May 19 last year.
Prosecutor Sadie Rizzo told Southampton Crown Court that Hampshire Fire and Rescue became concerned about the cause of the blaze and asked police to help with their investigation.
Examining the premises in Danes Road, Shootash, Romsey, they found two rooms had been used for the growing of cannabis plants.
Only one plant had survived the blaze at the house which had been rented out to Richard Barnes, who was nowhere to be seen after the fire broke out in the home which stands amid dense woodland.
But the set-up suggested other plants had been grown, the court heard.
Police arrested 34-year-old Barnes but he gave them a 'no comment' interview.
Barnes, now living at Coniston Road, Southampton, pleaded guilty to producing the drug.
Without hearing mitigation from defence barrister James Newton-Price, Judge Peter Ralls QC followed the recommendation of the probation report and gave him an eight-month sentence with an order to carry out 200 hours' community service.
The judge said he had been growing cannabis principally for himself but giving some to others: "This was not, however, a commercial operation."
Barnes was of previous good character.
The property was owned by Thomas McNamara, of Chilworth, who is the owner of McNamara Contractors, which has its yard next to the bungalow, off Danes Road. At the time he spoke of his shock at the fire after turning up to the scene to see the charred ruin.
However, Mr McNamara has no connection at all to the cannabis growing operation there and had rented the property out.

Karie @KariewithaK from One Fish Two Fish Five Fish writes: When I had my oldest son in 2003 I was completely dumb to the whole breastfeeding ordeal. My mother-in-law so graciously wanted to take me bra shopping to which I felt I would be better served by my own mother or by myself. Nothing against my MIL, but she can be very pushy and doesn't take NO for an answer very well either. So I went and bought a standard underwire nursing bra with pretty lace. Standard looking bra with the drop hatches for feeding. I hated this bra! Itchy, uncomfortable, no support and no where to put my leak pads as the bra for some reason was not a full coverage. So the next bra I bought was full coverage, 100% cotton and wonderful only the fit was terrible. I wasn't about to go buy another! I suffered for months with these bras…..years until my twins were born in February 2008.
Tabitha @tabulous from Tabulously Me says: I kind of have two "favorite" nursing items. The first is one of my first nursing purchases — it's a fold-down flap sports bra from Motherhood Maternity. It has adjustable, racer-back straps and is lightly lined throughout the front for (less?) show-through. It's made out of a nylon-spandex mix that reminds me of t-shirt bras, but does wick sweat and give great support, which is essential with nursing boobs. They have structure to them — reminiscent of Shock Absorber sports bras (which I love in my non-nursing life). I decided to try it because they were 2 for $15 ea. (or one at $20, still a good price for a good sports bra) and because they came in simple small, medium, or large (and I believe extra-large) sizes, which was important because as I neared the end of my pregnancy, I had no clue as to what actual size I would be while nursing, so there was some room for error. I wore them all the time at the end of my pregnancy, and continue to do so now — I've bought four thus far, two in each of the available colors of black and white. They work fabulously under a fitted t-shirt or wide-strap tank, and have been gym-tested by me and they keep the girls under control without smashing them. The only complaint I have is that on my older two the strap on the left side is starting to come unravelled — I don't know if that's because that's the shoulder I carry my purse and diaper bag on, or because it's too tight (I like my girls up and secure, no sag here) or what, but that's the only complaint (other than they don't come in colors). Here's a link.
The second isn't s bra, per se, but a nursing tank from Gilligan & O'Malley at Target. It's a stretch cotton drop-flap tank with built-in bra and is FABULOUS. I wear them all the time around the house, and they are perfect to sleep in. I bought one towards the end of my pregnancy, and it fit just fine — not too tight or too short on my belly, and the stretch in the fabric helped it retain it's shape for post-pregnancy. I have six — two in each of black, white, and gray, which are the colors you can find in stores. Online they seem to have pale blue, pale pink, and chocolate brown. The straps are adjustable and sturdy, and the tank just looks like a regular bra-top tank, so they're GREAT for layering under t-shirts or cardigans, with a perfect length for doing so. The cotton they're made of is a pretty good quality; the white tanks barely have any show-through (other than white nursing pads). They're $16.99 (also a darn decent price) and worth every penny. Here's the link.
Jenny, @quazydellasue on Twitter says: Before my daughter was born, I didn't know what my bra size would be once my milk came in, and I didn't want to spend much money on something that might not fit. So I bought the cheapest nursing bra I could find, figuring I could replace it later. What a mistake–the bra was so ill-fitting that I developed mastitis about one week after my milk came in. And by then I was in NO position to go out and find a new bra. So I looked around online and ordered a Bravado Body Silk Seamless bra–it looked like it would be comfortable enough to sleep in, which was my big priority in those early days (not that I did much sleeping…just a lot of attempting to sleep!). In fact, the bra was awesome, and is still my favorite 14 months later. And by now I have tried almost every nursing bra out there! What I love about the Body Silk is how incredibly comfortable it is (every component is stretchy, so it never digs into me or chafes), how incredibly supportive it is (I can work out in it), and how adaptable it has been to my changing shape. Since birth, I have gone through three band sizes and two cup sizes–and the same bra still fits (they come in S/M/L instead of exact sizes, which is so much better for a constantly changing shape). Best of all, the bra has removable cup liners, which conceal any nursing pads you might need and also even out any, er, size discrepancy nursing might have created for you. (My left side is a full cup size bigger than my right now!). The bra really is seamless and looks great under clothes, except for the really low-cut stuff–and if anyone knows of a nursing bra that is not high-cut, let me know! Some say the price on this bra is too high–around $45–but I think it's a great value considering that it is extremely well made and versatile. It's such a relief to know that for future babies I will have the right bra on hand before I even go into labor!
Priscilla, @EJmommy shares a little bit about the Anita bra. I really, really do love mine, in fact I just got a new one in the mail today. I've always been larger busted and had a hard time finding well-fitting supportive bras. During my pregnancy though I became miserable with some cheaper nursing/maternity bras I picked up at a store in the mall. They were ill-fitting and the wires were cutting into my ribs and stomach. So I e-mailed another large breasted friend of mine who recommended that I try ordering an Anita. I usually won't order clothes online but I took a leap of faith and I've been thankful ever since.
Rebecca from A Little Bit of Momsense says: The biggest mistake I made when I was nursing my son was not investing in a great nursing bra. I didn't know how long I would nurse for and figured that from a fashion point of view, I didn't need much, something to hold nursing pads right? Wrong! I ended up nursing my son for 20 months while extremely lopsided. As a result, some clothes and outfits were just not possible to wear. Most of the bras I bought did nothing to help support my once A cup breasts which now, well at least one, was a whopping D at my nursing height. With my daughter, I vowed not to be a fool and decided to invest in a good nursing bra. After some research, I found the Bravado Body Silk Seamless Bra. Let me tell you, I love it! With the same lopsided issues as before, this bra offers support to each side, is extremely comfortable (no underwire) and there are removable liners to hide the inevitable nipple after a feeding! Hooray for a great bra.
Judy from Mommy News @MommyNews and the owner of the Mother's Boutique is also a fan of the Body Silk Seamless Bravado Bra. (That's three recommendations if you've been counting!)
1) Body Silk Seamless Bra from Bravado
(http://www.mothersboutique.com/bosisenubra.html): This bra is one of my
best selling bras. It doesn't have underwire or specific cup sizes, but moms
love this bra – even if they normally wear an underwire bra. It has thick
ribbing that goes under the bust. This ribbing also goes up on the side of
the bust giving the same type of support and "lift" that you would get with
an underwire. It is also one of those bras sized S, M, L so it is designed
to grow with you and fit your breasts over multiple cup sizes. This means,
you can buy it when you are pregnant, and continue to wear it after your
milk comes in – even if your breasts change in size! It also means it will
still fit you 3 months down the road when your breasts change size again.
It also has removable padding, so you can take it out if you don't like it
or replace it with a nursing pad if needed. It comes in 4 fabulous colors -
black, butterscotch, ivory and cherry. It is a little pricey at $49, but
most moms who buy it usually come back for more since they like it so much!
2) Tee-Shirt Underwire Bra from MelindaG
(http://www.mothersboutique.com/teunnubra.html) : This bra is my personal
favorite (I wear it and so does my mother! – and she isn't nursing!). It is
the most comfortable underwire bra that I have ever worn. It has padding
around the underwire, so it is super comfy. It also has 3 nursing clips on
the straps which mean you can adjust the size of the cup. So when you milk
comes in, if you breasts get larger, you can actually go up a full cup size
just by adjusting where you connect the nursing opening – making this bra
another great choice for new moms. It only comes in nude and the only
downside to this bra is that the cups have absolutely no padding
what-so-ever. This is another one of those bras that moms try and come back
for more because it is so comfy. NOTE: This bra runs large in the band, so
if you normally wear a 36D, then you will wear this bra in the 34D.
3) Molded Cup Nursing Bra from Dynabelly
(http://mothersboutique.com/mocupnubra.html): This is a bra that I only
recently started carrying. I ordered a sample of it because it was so
inexpensive and I wanted to bring on some great bras that everyone could
afford. Well when I tried on my sample bra, I was pleasantly surprised!
This bra is so comfortable and supportive! I was really amazed that a bra
that costs only $18 could be so great!! The fit is wonderful, the design is
great and it's affordable – what more can a mom ask for!!
Now it's your turn! What is your favorite nursing bra? Why do you love it?

Ukrainian Protest Leader Challenges President to Debate
Ukraine is seeing continued protests and unrest following January 16 anti-democratic legislation from the Ukrainian parliament, as well as the government passing on a European trade deal in favor of relations with Russia, which ultimately has withdrawn its formerly agreed upon loan, placing Ukraine in a difficult economic position likely to end in default on at least some of its debt.
Now, the Ukrainian SBU, the secret service branch of its government, has released a statement alerting the public of an increase in terrorist threats on infrastructure including atomic power stations, gas and oil pipelines, and airports, according to Reuters, though it is unclear whether the attack threats are increasing in relation to the continued protests or if a separate concern is cropping up.
"The SBU's anti-terrorist center, in accordance with the law, is obliged to put on readiness anti-terrorist units on the territory of the state," read the release, per Reuters, noting that the alert is precautionary and that certain services, such as bus stations and other big transport centers in cities, are higher risk.
Reuters reports that this alert comes with additional precautions that include higher protection for state buildings, making it difficult to come close, and taking up areas of weapon storage — possibly an aim at preventing further efforts of protestors to take over government buildings. "The action carried out by the security services … is aimed solely at ensuring public safety and stopping criminal activities with a terrorist goal. These measures are transparent and primarily preventative in nature," read the statement, according to the news service.

Transliteration: For the transliteration of Persian words, authors should follow either the Iranian Studies scheme outlined in the tables in the document below, or else that used by The International Journal of Middle East Studies (minus the diacritics but with macrons). For the transliteration of Arabic and Ottoman Turkish, authors should follow the modified IJMES scheme. However the use of established anglicised forms such as Kurdistan, Hafiz, Isfahan, Majlis (instead of Kordestan, Hafez,Esfahan, Majles) will be more appropriate.
Whichever scheme is chosen (Iranian Studies or modified IJMES), it must be strictly adhered to. Failure to do so will result in the submission being rejected, even if it has passed peer review.
Other rules:
-The ezafeh is written as -e after consonants, e. g. ketab-e and as -ye after vowels (and silent final h), e. g. darya-ye and khaneh-ye
-The silent final h is written, e. g. Dowleh
-The tashdid is represented by a doubling of the letter, e. g. takhassos
-The plural ha is added to the
References should be in the notes only, not in a separate bibliography of list of works cited. Notes will be printed as footnotes, and should be used judiciously. Authors must strictly comply with the journal notation style. At the first mention of a work, a full citation should be given, thereafter a short form:

Welcome to the most underrated rivalry in college sports: Iowa vs. Wisconsin. The 105-year-old basketball series is tied 79-79 entering today's game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Over the last six meetings, the teams are split 3-3 with Iowa scoring 409 points and Wisconsin scoring 408. Throw in the football series (43-42-2 Wisconsin), and it's easy to see why this rivalry matters to both fan groups.
But there's more than just history between the two teams. Today's winner (11 a.m. ESPN2) moves solidly into third place in the Big Ten standings. No. 15 Iowa (19-6, 8-4) is one game behind Michigan and Michigan State in the loss column. No. 18 Wisconsin (21-5, 8-5) already has beaten Iowa once. Today's outcome affects seeding in the Big Ten Tournament and ultimately the NCAA tournament.
But for the teams it all boils down to beating another fierce rival. The other ramifications can wait.
"It�s a border game so you�ve got people you know from both states that like both teams and stuff like that," Iowa guard Devyn Marble said. "I think that adds to it for the fans."
"It�s Wisconsin. That�s our challenge right now," Iowa's Zach McCabe said. "They�re trying to get back in the race. We�ve just got to focus one game at a time. That�s what we�re all just focusing on right now."
The teams boast contrasting styles, from Iowa's uptempo transition attack to Wisconsin's half-court, 3-point prowess. Iowa leads the Big Ten in scoring offense (83.6 points), scoring margin (16.4), defensive field-goal percentage (38.8 percent) and rebounding (43). Wisconsin ranks third in scoring defense (63.3), while is ninth (67.2) and the Badgers are third in free-throw percentage (74.4).
Wisconsin won its first 16 games but then limped through a stretch of five losses in six games. That included a 13-point loss at Minnesota, a seven-point home loss to Michigan and a nine-point home defeat to Northwestern -- Wisconsin's first-ever loss to the Wildcats at the Kohl Center.
But the Badgers have rallied, winning fourth straight. Two of the wins game against Big Ten co-leaders Michigan State and Michigan, the latter of which was at Ann Arbor.
"They have kind of picked up their tempo a little bit, but I think that just comes from they�ve got better players that can make plays and do stuff like that," Marble said. "We want to get out in the open court. I think it�s going to be a really good game and I think it comes down to who wants it more."
Wisconsin boasts the reigning Big Ten Player of the Week in 7-foot- center Frank Kaminsky. Against Michigan Kaminsky scored 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. He averaged 4.2 points a game last year and now puts up 13.0 a game. That's the Big Ten's third-biggest year-over-year increase.
"He�s still developing his skills," Wisconsin Coach Bo Ryan said. "He�s a guy that continues to work. He�s got just to keep moving forward when it comes to when he hits rough spots. He�s the kind of guy that you want him to get too far down and then not too far up.
"Frank�s one of those guys that�s trying to maintain an even-keel of competitiveness and desire and keep it at a high level at all times and work through situations where things might not go his way. That�s what he did (against Michigan) and he�s been doing that more lately, in that he�s being a little bit more consistent and he�s still a developing big man. I liked what I saw (against Michigan) and I know his teammates did. Hopefully he has a lot more of that in that him."

text: If this deal does go through within the next couple of days, much of the talk both nationally and locally will be about what is leaving the Nuggets--that is, about Melo and Chauncey. However, from the perspective of Nuggets fans, it's actually more important to consider what the deal brings to the Nuggets. The big piece coming to the Nuggets in the deal (aside from the picks) is Derrick Favors. What is the general opinion on him here? I personally think he has the potential to be the first dominant rebounder to play for the Nuggets in this decade.

Kenner, La. - Police say an intoxicated mom left her 3-month-old daughter inside of a parked sport utility vehicle while she socialized at a Kenner bar.
Sgt. Brian McGregor, spokesman for the Kenner Police Department says the infant was strapped into a baby carrier inside the vehicle -- with the keys in the ignition and the engine running -- for about an hour.
McGregor says a witness alerted police after noticing a baby alone and asleep inside of an SUV around 11:35 p.m. Saturday.
Police say 41-year-old Lavenia Suren, the baby's mother was found inside the bar. McGregor says Suren allegedly smelled of alcohol, swayed as she stood and had slurred speech.
Suren was booked with child desertion and released on bond. It was unclear whether she has an attorney.

Looks like the Saints are going to let Sharper test the market - should the Boys be interested?
I know he's a little on the older side of what we're looking for, but maybe for a short term deal he could work? Maybe one of you who are more knowledgeable than I will realize that I'm talkin' crazy - but in my mind I see us signing Sharper for a year to bring some ballhawking to our secondary for a year or two (led the league in INTs and had 3 return TDs), which will allow us to take a OL in the first round to help that unit and maybe like Raf said, take a less polished Safety in the second round like Burnett from GTech who can be groomed for a year or under a proven star like Sharper.

Coming out of UFC 100, Brock Lesnar was deemed "the baddest man on the planet." He was 3-1 in the UFC as Heavyweight champion and coming off his first title defense on the most successful PPV in the company's history. Shortly after, he was scheduled to face the hard-hitting and then undefeated Shane Carwin. Unfortunately, before they could fight, Brock was diagnosed with diverticulitis. He had to undergo surgery and it was more than a year later before he was able to step into the Octagon again.
Prior to his illness, former champion Frank Mir was Lesnar's biggest rival. He had given Borck his only career loss and hit him with a ton of trash talk leading up to their second meeting. Now, Mir says the disease left Lesnar unable to fulfill the potential he had back in 2009 (from NY Post):
Honestly, I think the guy got so ill, he just couldn't do it anymore. He had to leave or his quality of life wouldn't have been normal.
We didn't get to see the Brock I fought. Had he not been ill, things would have been different
Lesnar returned at UFC 116 where he finally had his fight against Carwin. The champ took a vicious beating in the first round, but rallied in the second to earn his second title defense. Only a few months later, he lost his title to current champ Cain Velasquez via first round TKO. He'd only have one more fight in the UFC, where he was once again finished in the opening round. Since retiring from MMA, Lesnar has returned to the WWE where he most recently appeared at Wrestlemania 29.
In just 4 days, Mir has a big fight of his own to look forward to. At UFC On Fox 7, he'll be welcoming Strikeforce HWGP champion Daniel Cormier to the UFC. As an undefeated fighter and former Olympian, Cormier will be making his promotional debut with a lot of hype and high expectations behind him. His first test will be Mir who's a seasoned veteran of the sport and two-time former UFC champion.
