Restorative Policing Experiment
Subtitle/Series Name:
Pub. Date:
First-time moderately serious juvenile offenders were randomly assigned either to formal adjudication or to a diversionary restorative policing process called family group conferencing. Police-based family group conferencing employs trained police officers to facilitate a meeting of juvenile offenders, their victims, and their respective family and friends, to discuss the harm caused by the offender's actions and to develop an agreement to repair the harm. Victim and offender participation is voluntary. The effect of the program was measured through surveys of participants (42 percent participation rate) and by examining outcomes of conferences and formal adjudication; 100 percent of conferences (n=67) reached an agreement, 94 percent of offenders (n=80) fully complied with agreements, and participant satisfaction and sense of fairness exceeded 96 percent. Recidivism appeared to be more a function of offenders' choice to participate than the effects of the conferencing, per se. Violent offenders who participated in conferences had lower rearrest rates than violent offenders who declined to participate, but this was not true for property offenders.

Looking for direction
Hi all,
I'm looking for some constructive feedback. Is there anything I could do better or practice before I do my next portrait.
I've stopped short of finishing it (hair, ears etc).

If that was supposed to be Stephen Gerrard then you've captured the likeness very well.
Biggest problem for me is the mouth, the inside would never be all one shade f black like that. There would be a value for the sidewall, for the tongue, etc.
Also I think there would be more creases in the face especially around the mouth, if not in line then in tones.

It's not too bad, but for your next portrait, why not try painting value where you see it and avoid making a line drawing first?
(More like an impressionist approach than a comic book one).
I suggest this because this one looks like a shaded line drawing. Not that there's anything wrong with that style, but it might be good practice to break things down to values instead of facial features.

danlambert - I see what you mean about the lines on his face. I never thought of the mouth after I'd "finished" it so i'll go back to it. Thanks
Zirngibism - Yeah, you are right, It's def someting I'd like to add to my repertoire. It's just that I've never done it that way before, ah well, I'll give it a shot. Thanks a lot.

Learning how to use Adobe Photoshop efficiently and effectively is the best way to get the most out of your pixels and create stunning imagery. Master the fundamentals of this program with Julieanne Kost, and discover how to achieve the results you want with Photoshop and its companion programs, Bridge and Camera Raw. This comprehensive course covers nondestructive editing techniques using layers, masking, adjustment layers, blend modes, and Smart Objects. Find out how to perform common editing tasks, including lens correction, cropping and straightening, color and tonal adjustments, noise reduction, shadow and highlight detail recovery, sharpening, and retouching. Julieanne also shows how to achieve more creative effects with filters, layer effects, illustrative type, and the Photomerge command for creating panoramas and composites.
The default setting for the Crop tool in Photoshop actually allows for the tool to delete the unwanted pixels after you crop the image. Let's take a look at what that means. I'm going to tap the C key which will give me the Crop tool. And I can see that I have some values here for an aspect ratio. I want to go ahead and clear those out, so I will click on the Clear button. Now this is the default setting for the delete cropped pixels. You can see that it's checked on. So let's go ahead and just rearrange the crop a little bit.
I'm going to go ahead and move it out a bit. And I want to take a look for a moment over at the layers panel. This is a single layer document, and it's a flattened document so there's a background layer. Once you select the Crop tool, you actually get this crop preview. But if you have the delete crop pixel selected, when you apply this crop, you'll notice that the crop preview disappears in the layer panel and you end up with this flattened background layer. That means that those pixels that were outside the crop marquee are actually gone.
And if I were to save this document right now and then close it, later on I could not get those pixels back. So, lets go ahead and undo that, either using Cmd or Ctrl+Z, or we can use the menu item, to undo our crop. This time when we drag out our crop, I'm going to uncheck the Delete Cropped Pixels. You can see that I'm still starting with a background layer, so a flattened Photoshop document, but now when I click and drag out my crop marquee, you can see that it turns into a crop preview and there's no longer a background entry here in my layers panel. Now one of the reasons we may not want to delete the cropped pixels Is obviously for flexibility and one of the instances that I come across quiet often, is, if someone has been asked to crop, maybe to a specific aspect ratio, such as 4 by 5. But they're really not sure, how they want to center that image. So if I wasn't sure how I wanted to center it, but I did know that it had to be a certain aspect ratio, I might want to uncheck this Delete Cropped Pixels. Now, let's go ahead and apply the crop by clicking on the check mark, or tapping the Return or Enter key.
You can see that Photoshop has converted the background into a layer. This layer allows Photoshop to hang on to all of that extra information. All of those pixels that were outside of the crop marque. So now if I were to select my move tool. You can see that I can actually reposition this, and all of the information is still there. So, it's a much more flexible way to crop your image. If you ever wanted to show all of the information that is, beyond this image area.
So, in other words, all of the other extra data that was cropped off. You can choose Image and then Reveal All, and Photoshop will build out the canvas size here so that you can see all of that extra information. Just remember, Photoshop has to create a layered file in order to hang on to all of those pixels that were outside of the Cropmer key. If you've cropped it and told Photoshop to not delete the pixels, but then you save it as a JPEG or any other format that doesn't support layers, you will lose those pixels. So just remember if you want a non destructive crop and you want Photoshop to keep the pixels outside of the crop marquee, be sure to save either a Photoshop document or a TIFF file with layers.

December baby
Stephanie, mommy to Danica (12), Janessa (8), Aaliyah (5), David Jr (2), and baby Ryan due 04/23/14
If we don't get pregnant this month, we will try one more month as it would put my due date in early December, meaning that, for me anyway, there is a good chance the baby would be born in late November. I can handle late November or even early December. HOWEVER, if we still weren't pregnant next month, I would be taking a month off. I don't want a baby anywhere close to Christmas, so I totally understand your hesitation!

if we dont get pregnant this month we will try next month cus it will be an early dec due date for me as well and I think I can handle that. But if we dont get pregnant with that cycle we are waiting for July and gonna try for a spring baby. Were doing that cus I dont want to be huge in the dead of winter with ice and snow and have baby then. I want to be able to show off my belly in cute stuff, also bc we do alot of traveling so it works better with that too.

We have two shots at a November baby so I'm really hoping it happens this month or next. If not, we'll likely skip the December baby as the EDD would be December 25th. I would be okay with an early December baby but Christmas would certainly not be my first choice.

Stephanie, mommy to Danica (12), Janessa (8), Aaliyah (5), David Jr (2), and baby Ryan due 04/23/14
OK ladies - let me jump in here and say it's best to skip March!! LOL
My bday is 12/2. Obviously people are different so maybe there are people out there that would enjoy a bday close to Christmas. For me, I hate it. I could never have a pool party growing up. My birthday parties tended to be themed Christmas-y. There was always someone that wrapped my bday present with Christmas paper. And tons of people that "combined" their gift to me. And all my presents were winter presents - no cute summer outfits or bathing suits.
OK I just read that paragraph and boy do I sound tacky!! I know it's not all about presents but that's what I felt like when I was a kid :)
To make matters worse, I married a December baby (DH bday is 12/14) and we had our DD on 12/6!! Talk about a hypocrite! (she was a wonderful accident but I'm sure she'll have the same complaints about her bday too!).
Needless to say, if this late October/early November LO doesn't happen, we'll be waiting until April :)
Okay I don't get it if you didn't have a birthday in Dec then you would not be here, so why would you hate it. I just never understood that, but I have a Dec baby, it wasn't planned but she came perfect. It is the 8th but I wouldn't care if it was on the 25th what a great Christmas present. As for gifts, the spirit of the holiday is not about presents or parties but I thought spending time together and well if you have another party all the more fun. We don't live close to family so it is hard to have a birthday party so we don' t have them just dinner out and the kids still love that you don't have to have extravegant birthday parties all the time but even if you do at least everyone will be home to celebrate, and if you can't at least she gets the parties for Christmas, where my April baby doesn't get much, well wait there is Easter. And if everyone wants a November baby, what about Thanksgiving? Why is it okay to have a Thanksgiving baby but not a Christmas baby...I just don't think it makes sense. Anyways, it is a perfect time to have a baby if you work, there are tons of holidays in Nov, Dec, Jan, and Feb so all those month are great as you don't have to use as much leave so it can extend maternity leave and I didn't have that luxury with an April baby when there were no holidays until the 4th of July!!! Anyways, it is a great month and so would Nov, but I am not partial...I figure I will get pregnant when I am suppose to so since I stopped the depo shot so we will keep trying if it is meant to be I figure they will have a perfect birthday.
pink&blue14, personally I wouldn't want a december baby because thats when it starts to get really cold, snowy, icy and just plain crappy out. November is not too bad, we usually dont see snow in november. I have an august bday and I always loved that I could have my bday parties outdoors, I want my kid to have that option too. For me, the holidays have nothing to do with it. Heck, my hedd right now is oct 30th, and halloween is one my favorite holidays but idc.
As for me, if it doesn't happen this month I'll be waiting till probably June to try again. Its just so darn cold here in Iowa in the winter and i dont want to have to bring LO out in the cold when they are newborn and risk RSV.

BLOCK of the Year?
By Matt Jones on ©July 05th, 2015 @ 3:12pm
Posted in BB Recruiting, Main, Matt's Blog | 1 Response
The 2016 High School recruiting class is one of the best in the last 10 years. At the top of the class are five guys of tremendous talent and three of those (Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum and Josh Jackson) would potentially be the top three picks in next year's NBA Draft if they were eligible. All three are playing for Team USA in the Under-19 World Championships and all three are starting because of their tremendous talent. The Cats are recruiting all three and would love any to end up in Lexington, including Jayson Tatum. His explosiveness is unbelievable and he has had a tremendous week dunking on everyone…well except until today's finals. Tatum went to the basket against Croatia and…well he ended up on the receiving end of the block of the year.
Harrison twins face off in Orlando Summer League
By Kelsey Mattingly on ©July 05th, 2015 @ 2:30pm
Posted in Cats in the NBA, Main | 2 Responses
Here is your friendly KSR reminder that at 3:00 p.m. on NBA TV the Harrison twins will be playing each other for the first time since leaving Kentucky in the Orlando Summer League. Andrew, who was drafted in the 2nd round by the Memphis Grizzlies will know Aaron's game undoubtedly better than any of his teammates.
Aaron made his rookie debut yesterday with the Charlotte Hornets on Day 1 of the Orlando Summer League games, one game before his brother did the same. Aaron finished his debut with 10 points, five rebounds, three steals and two assists in 22 minutes. Andrew had eight points, including a made three-point attempt, three assists and no turnovers in his debut with the Grizzlies. Both will get a chance to showcase their talents again today, but rather than complementing one another like they did in blue, they will have a chance to shine on their own.
And for one last memory, here's the clip of Andrew telling Aaron to "shoot" his game-winning three against Wisconsin. Too bad we won't see a connection like this anymore. *insert sobbing face*
The importance of landing Kash Daniel
By Kelsey Mattingly on ©July 05th, 2015 @ 1:00pm
Posted in FB Recruiting, Main | Leave a response
A commitment from four-star linebacker Kash Daniel makes three high school All Americans in the 2016 recruiting class joining Drake Jackson and Landon Young. They will join the other four high school All-Americans already on UK's campus for the upcoming season. Rivals college football recruiting expert, Justin Rowland, was quick to recognize how key Daniel will be for Kentucky. He mentioned in a string of Tweets yesterday that Daniel might be the "most college-ready linebacker Kentucky has landed in several years". With Daniel's advanced defensive skills and signs of offensive leadership from commit Drake Jackson, it's looking like this recruiting class is going to be one of Kentucky's strongest yet.
For the last year we've said the '16 class could be the Commonwealth's best in modern era. Still confident that is the case.
— Justin Rowland (@RowlandRIVALS) July 4, 2015
I'll add this. Remember the leadership on UK's '06 – '07 teams? Impossible to underestimate. I see even more in this 2016 class.

Four-star WR Tino Ellis places Kentucky in his final 6
By Kelsey Mattingly on ©July 05th, 2015 @ 11:30am
Posted in FB Recruiting, Main | 2 Responses
2016 wide receiver Tino Ellis announced yesterday that he has narrowed his options down to six schools, one of those being Kentucky. The 4-star receiver from Hyattsville, Maryland says he is planning to make his decision on July 31st. Though Ellis hasn't shown signs of favoritism, keep an eye on the Hokies as his cousin Donovan Riley plays cornerback for the team. With that and his home state of Maryland in the mix, we will see in 26 short days if Mark Stoops can work his magic and bring Ellis to the bluegrass.

Rub those sleepy eyes, BBN, and get your Sunday best on because we've got a full day for you! We know you're moaning and groaning at how yesterday's celebratory decisions might be hitting you hard now, but never fear, Sunday is the chance to start anew. So with a clean slate ready to start the day, here are a few links from across the World Wide Web to get you off on the right foot.
— What could be more American than a hot dog eating contest? An upset at the hot dog eating contest on America's birthday, that's what! ESPN, thankfully, has all of the action covered for you from yesterday's Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. The winner ultimately consumed 62 hotdogs and buns, but we'll leave it to you to find out who pulled the upset. [ESPN.com]
— Experts are liking the 2015-2016 Kentucky Wildcats basketball team, according to some folks over at the Courier Journal. In the article, Jay Bilas, Gary Parrish and Mike DeCourcy all agree that Kentucky is going to be a force to be reckoned with and should be the preseason No. 1. But honestly, who's surprised? [Courier-Journal.com]
— USA Today is weighing in on the upcoming Women's World Cup Final match that will ensue today between our own Team USA and Japan. All of the experts have the U.S. scoring two goals and ultimately winning the match, but we'll have to see for ourselves tonight at 7:00 p.m. [USAToday.com]
— As if you didn't get enough red, white and blue yesterday, the Bleacher Report posted a slideshow of photos from athletes celebrating America's Independence. From the classic boat ride on the lake to a little celebratory weight room action, these celebrity athletes did it all (and they have the pictures to prove it). [BleacherReport.com]
— While you're waiting to cheer on the U.S. in their final soccer match of the World Cup today, don't forget to check out a few former Wildcats as they continue their NBA rookie season in Day 2 of the Orlando Summer League.

Good morning Big Blue Nation, I hope you're feeling extra free today as you nurse those 4th of July hangovers and look forward to another year of celebrating the red, white and blue. So while you're hopefully still reminding yourself that not only are you a member of the best country in the world, but also the best fanbase, stick around with us today for some NBA Summer League action and a little taste of America doing what it does best…winning.
Here are some things you may have missed:
Kash Daniel committed to Kentucky
Yesterday Coach Mark Stoops and his University of Kentucky Wildcats received a commitment from All-American Kash Daniel, for the 2016 recruiting class. Kentucky beat out South Carolina for the four-star Kentucky-bred linebacker, which made celebrating America's freedom a little sweeter.
Believe Kash Daniel may be the most college-ready linebacker Cats have landed in several years. Little things, football smarts, leadership.

Orlando Summer League kicked off for some former Cats
Former Kentucky Wildcats, Aaron and Andrew Harrison as well as Dakari Johnson, made their NBA Summer League debuts yesterday in Orlando. Aaron Harrison had 10 points, five rebounds, three steals and two assists in 22 minutes for the Charlotte Hornets who were playing Dakari Johnson and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Johnson finished with 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes. Following the Aaron/Dakari matchup, Andrew Harrison had eight points and three assists for the Memphis Grizzlies. Overall it was a successful start for these former Cats in their summer NBA debuts.
UK took over the SEC Network
You might've noticed during your 4th of July festivities that UK athletics completely took over the SEC Network. From throwbacks like the 2007 Kentucky vs. Louisville football game when "Stevie Got Loose" to the close UK/UL basketball matchup from this past season, it was all blue all day long.
It's time for the #BBN to take over the SEC Network! Are you ready for 24 hours of @UKAthletics? #SECNTakeover pic.twitter.com/mBU1wj58Vi
— #SECNTakeover (@SECNetwork) July 4, 2015
Now here are a few things to look forward to today:
The Harrison twins will face off at 3:00 p.m.
Kentucky's own Aaron and Andrew Harrison will play against each other for the first time in the NBA during Day 2 of the Orlando Summer League at 3:00 p.m. The two each brought something different to the table during their time at Kentucky so it will be interesting to see how they handle one another's strengths and weaknesses. So sit back, relax, and get ready to watch your favorite twins battle it out in the big leagues.
Team USA plays for the World Cup Championship
The U.S. Women's Soccer Team will play for the World Cup Title in a revenge match against Japan at 7:00 p.m. today on Fox. After defeating Germany to advance to the finals, the U.S. is looking to clean up some unfinished business from their previous World Cup finals loss to Japan in 2011. You can keep your 4th of July decor hanging proud and tune in to cheer Team USA to victory.
How much have Cal's players made in the NBA?

On this Independence Day, it has been a time to celebrate some of the strengths of our beautiful country. Sure, not everything about America's great; the media likes to remind to us every day. But when all is said and done, we still live in a place where you can become a millionaire if you're good at putting a ball through a hoop. That's something worth celebrating, at least.
John Calipari is the best in the game at turning college basketball players into millionaires. In his six years at Kentucky, he's put 25 players in the NBA. According to the Courier-Journal, the total worth of their future contracts is around $726 million. Not too shabby. But how much money have his players ALREADY put in their pockets? According to spotrac.com, here are the total cash earnings of each of Kentucky's NBA players that Cal has coached:
John Wall $37,717,125
Demarcus Cousins: $29,838,286
Enes Kanter: $25,567,009
Anthony Davis: $23,198,010
Eric Bledsoe: $20,104,069
Brandon Knight: $15,880,357
Patrick Patterson: $14,434,196
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist: $14,429,520
Nerlens Noel: $6,487,440
Terrence Jones: $4,655,520
Marquis Teague: $3,052,640
Julius Randle: $3,064,800
Archie Goodwin: $2,176,680

Darius Miller: $1,662,476
Daniel Orton: $883,370
Deandre Liggins: $381,193
Josh Harrellson: $381,193
Total Earned: $205,588,364
So far, Cal's Cats have already earned around $206 million – a total greater than the GDP of three different countries. And this isn't even considering money earned from endorsements and overseas' play. With the money guaranteed on their upcoming contracts, it's clear that the total money earned by John Calipari's players will soon be exceeding $1 billion.

We have been talking about Kentucky's takeover of the SEC Network for a week now, but if you don't feel like going out to celebrate our great nation's independence and watch some fireworks, you can celebrate in another way. At 10 o'clock tonight, the SEC network will be showing the 2014 Louisville vs. UK game, and you know what they say, when UofL loses, America wins.
Here's the highlights to hold you over until game-time.
There's nothing more special than soldiers coming home.

While it isn't Memorial Day or Veteran's Day, it's important to remember what we are celebrating on this Saturday afternoon. We definitely wouldn't have the freedom to kick back with a hot dog and a nice, cold drink and watch fireworks with our families if it wasn't for the thousands of brave men and women who put their lives on the line for us every single day and gave their "last full measure of devotion."
It brings a tear to my eye every single time I watch a serviceman or woman come home to their family. In case you have forgotten, Kentucky's own Air Force Senior Master Sergeant James A. Allegrezza surprised his family at the UK vs. Buffalo game this past season. I was at the game and there wasn't a dry eye around.
On behalf of all of us at KSR, I want to thank all the servicemen and women who are out there fighting for the freedoms we so easily take for granted. Happy Fourth of July everyone!

Even though it is the 4th of July, the most American and patriotic day of the year, I thought we could talk about Canada. Following Jamal Murray's decision to come to Kentucky, I decided to look back at all the Canadians that have played basketball at Kentucky.

Kash Daniel is already taking shots at Louisville.

That didn't take long. Not even an hour after making his decision this afternoon, Stoops' latest gem was already taking shots at the dirty birds.
Kash Daniel choose UK over South Carolina. Says he guesses there's maybe 3 or 4 Louisville fans in E. Kentucky. He's not one of them.
— Steve Moss (@smosswkyt) July 4, 2015
After Kash's announcement, Freddie Maggard tweeted out that a whole lot of nastiness that has been missing is coming to Nutter. Can't say I disagree. Attitude and confidence counts for a lot in any sport, and it's a good sign that Kash is already showing out.
Eastern Kentuckians (and our accents) for the win, y'all.

Coach Calipari: "Don't be afraid to be different"

It might be a holiday, but we all know Cal never stops. Coach Calipari took some time out of his busy holiday (and the SEC takeover) to send some words of wisdom to his fans.
"Two things come to mind for me as I walk this boardwalk: One, don't be afraid to be different, don't be afraid to look different, dress different, or think different, but also allow others to do the same. You have that freedom in this country and it is protected."
Cal goes on to say this helps you create a shield against 'all attacks and naysayers'. Basically this is what he was trying to say:

From the KSR vault: How Kash Daniel went from Eastern Kentucky boy to red-hot recruit
By Mrs. Tyler Thompson on ©July 04th, 2015 @ 3:00pm
Posted in FB Recruiting, Main | Leave a response
**Ed note: I wrote this profile of Kash two months ago. Now that he's a Cat, it seems appropriate to share again.**
The past ten days have been the craziest of Kash Daniel's life. Two weeks ago, the 6'3″ 230 lbs. linebacker from Paintsville only held offers from Austin Peay, Ball State, Charlotte, Marshall, and Troy. After a breakout performance at the Rivals Camp in Charlotte in which he was ranked the sixth best defensive performer, major offers began pouring in, starting with Kentucky on April 27.
"Being a kid from Kentucky, it felt really good," Kash said of receiving a scholarship offer from Mark Stoops. "You grew up watching Kentucky football, and to get an offer from Coach Stoops and that staff really means a lot. From the way that the program's headed, it's such a really high honor for me."
The next day, Louisville offered. A few days after that, South Carolina and Purdue. Tomorrow, Ohio State is coming to town to watch him practice. That's pretty huge for Paintsville, a small town nestled in the foothills of Eastern Kentucky.
"The whole community knows about it because it's pretty exciting. It's not every day you get the defending National Champions coming to a small town like Paintsville," Kash said. Kash works at a car wash during the summer, and said his old boss texted him when he heard the news.
"He randomly texted me the other day and said, 'I heard Ohio State's coming to practice.' If he knows about it, the entire town of Paintsville knows about it, and if the entire town of Paintsville knows about it, then all of Eastern Kentucky knows about it."
"Being from Eastern Kentucky, you kind of get looked down on because of where you're from."
Eastern Kentucky isn't just where Kash is from, it's who he is, and one of the first things he mentioned when we spoke. Kash doesn't just want to be a football player, he wants to be a trailblazer for his region, which is why Stoops' focus on in-state talent hits home.
"It shows there are kids in Kentucky that can play as well. I'm the only kid from Eastern Kentucky that's got a Division I offer. I'm the only kid in Eastern Kentucky that's been ranked by Rivals. Being from Eastern Kentucky, you kind of get looked down on because of where you're from. The big thing for me is to show people it doesn't matter where you come from, what school you go to, if you can play, they'll find you."
Kash claims he wasn't really a fan of any team growing up, but went to a few UK games every year with his family. Although Kash also speaks highly of Louisville, the fact that Kentucky was the first major program to give him an offer is not lost on him.
"I'm the first kid from Paintsville High School to hold an offer from Kentucky since 1987. The last guy to do that was by the name of Joey Couch, and he ended up being an all-SEC lineman. It's a really high honor for me," Kash said.
Kash's latest visit to Kentucky came during spring practice, and although he didn't express any preference between the Cats and the Cards right now, he left Lexington impressed.
"I was really exciting to watch because they were all fired up. Even thought it was spring practice, it was like they were getting ready to play someone like Alabama or something. Really high intensity, they were really excited to play. Even thought it was just a practice scrimmage, you could feel the excitement that was there. That's good to know the players were excited about it. It was a really good experience."
Middle school ties with in-state guys
A lot of the buzz around the Kentucky program stems from a strong 2016 recruiting class, which includes top in-state prospects Drake Jackson, the top center in the country from Woodford County; Zy'Aire Hughes, a three-star athlete from McCracken County; Landon Young, a four-star offensive tackle from Lafayette; and Davonte Robinson, a three-star cornerback from Henry Clay. Kash is very familiar with the first two, going back to when they played on an all-star team back in eighth grade. Kash calls Drake, the leader of the 2016 recruiting class, his "old buddy."
"I've known him since we were in middle school, played on some all-star teams together. Drake's a great player and Zy'Aire Hughes, I've played with him too, Landon Young, I've gotten to know him over the years on recruiting trips and stuff like that," Kash said. "I'm pretty close to all of them. Most of those guys are in-state guys, and most of the in-state guys I've played with, so we've got a really good relationship."
In fact, Kash said he talks to Drake probably three times a week now. "Ever since Kentucky offered, he's been calling me, you know, texting me, trying to get me to commit as early as possible," Kash said. "He's like, "man, it's gonna be just like eighth grade on the all-star team. You, me, Zy'Aire, add Landon in to the mix, we've got a chance to do something special here."
Drake Jackson's sales pitch
I talked to Drake about Kash, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his voice. "Kash is my boy. I like that guy a lot." Drake's sales pitch has four key points:
- The chance to represent your state;
- Stoops' record of developing defensive talent;
- Erik Korem's high-performance training program; and
- The chance to play in the SEC in your own backyard.
"For Kash, he's an in-state kid. I know his mom is a big UK fan. What I say to Kash, I say 'Kash, listen. You and I, we've played together, we know what it's like to play in Kentucky, represent the state of Kentucky. You want to go play where you're going to be known. You play at Kentucky, you're the hometown hero," Drake said. "You know what it's like to represent the state, there's nothing better. I'm not even playing there yet and I feel like I'm representing the state. You're not that far away, you can come back home after a game, say hi to your mom and dad, you can come home every now and then and watch your old high school team play."
Drake is already pointing to the 2015 NFL Draft as proof Stoops can develop defensive talent. "You want to look at this past draft, Bud Dupree and Za'Darius Smith. Now, they're different players than Kash is, but Bud was a projected linebacker, so is Kash, so you've got to look at how Coach Stoops and Coach Eliot have been able to develop these type of players, especially guys who are in the front seven. That's big for Kash. Kash is a linebacker. Coach Stoops is really good with defensive backs and linebackers, as is Coach Eliot. That's a big pitch."
Erik Korem's high-performance training program is another major selling point. "Kash is huge, he's like a freak athlete. When he gets to UK, the weight program they have is so good. Kash will be freaking jumping over buildings by then," Drake said. "I told Kash 'you're strong, but they're going to take you to a whole other level.'"
Finally, Drake circled back to the point that's already pulled in several in-state prospects. "You're such a stud you'll get immediate playing time here for sure," Drake told Kash. "You're playing on a big stage but you're doing it at home. You get to play in the SEC in your backyard. There's no comparison to that."
Taking his time to do it right
Kash admitted that the past two weeks have been "overwhelming," and if Ohio State likes what they see tomorrow, it's going to get even crazier. "I think if Ohio State offers me, that would be a really high honor for me, and this thing will bust wide open. If a great program like Ohio State believes in you, then everyone in the SEC, ACC, they'll be like, 'okay who is this kid?'"
Although an offer from the defending National Champions would be hard to turn down, Kash said he's determined to take his time to go through the entire recruiting process.
"I've got five official visits and I talked to my dad about this, every school wants me to commit as soon as possible, but it's pretty overwhelming as a 17-year-old to make the decision right on the spot, so I'm going to take time with me and my family to take those five official visits to make my decision. Once those visits are over, I'll have and idea of where I want to be."
If there's anyone who knows what Kash is going through right now, it's Drake. "Kash is going to get big offers, and if he's smart, he's going to take his time and make sure he makes the right decision. That's what I did. I probably could have committed to UK when they offer me right after my sophomore football season, but you've gotta be smart. If you have an opportunity to get offers like Ohio State and all those other schools, you only get recruited once," Drake said.
That being said, don't think for one second that Drake's throwing in the white towel. "I said, 'listen Kash, I want you in blue now, but I totally respect you going out taking visits because you want to. You want offers from South Carolina, Louisville, Kentucky, all these big schools. I want Kash in blue, but I also want him to have fun with the rest of the recruiting process."
Trading cartoons for wind sprints
For now, Kash is just grateful to see all of his hard work coming to fruition. "You can tell the community of Painstville, they're really proud of me and what I've done," Kash said. "They all know how hard I've worked over the years, the hard work and stuff I've put in outside of practice. I'll be on the floor doing 200, 300 pushups a night during TV commercials."
That work ethic goes back to his childhood. "When I was a little kid, my dad's was really hard on me. I'm not saying that's a bad thing because I know what he's trying to do now, he just wanted me to have the best opportunity to be the best player I can be. So at twelve years old, when kids are waking up at 10 a.m. on a Saturday and watching cartoons and having breakfast made for them, I got up at 7 a.m. and started running wind sprints with my dad and having to make my own breakfast and after that, we'd watch college football."
Kash's father was a professional bass fisherman but gave up the job when Kash was born so he wouldn't have to be on the road so much. As you might imagine, he's a pretty proud man right now. "He really is," Kash said. "It's more of a pride thing for him because he's put a lot of work too for this to happen for me. I can't thank him enough."

The House at Rivertonby Kate Morton
Last November I had a nightmare.
It was 1924 and I was at Riverton again. All the doors hung wide open, silk billowing in the summer breeze. An orchestra perched high on the hill beneath the ancient maple, violins lilting lazily in the warmth. The air rang with pealing laughter and crystal, and the sky was the kind of blue we'd all thought the war had destroyed forever. One of the footmen, smart in black and white, poured champagne into the top of a tower of glass flutes and everyone clapped, delighting in the splendid wastage.
I saw myself, the way one does in dreams, moving amongst the guests. Moving slowly, much more slowly than one can in life, the others a blur of silk and sequins.
I was looking for someone.
Then the picture changed and I was near the summer house, only it wasn't the summer house at Riverton — it couldn't have been. This was not the shiny new building Teddy had designed, but an old structure with ivy climbing the walls, twisting itself through the windows, strangling the pillars.
Someone was calling me. A woman, a voice I recognized, coming from behind the building, on the lake's edge. I walked down the slope, my hands brushing against the tallest reeds. A figure crouched on the bank.
It was Hannah, in her wedding dress, mud splattered across the front, clinging to the appliquéd roses. She looked up at me, her face pale where it emerged from shadow. Her voice chilled my blood. "You're too late." She pointed at my hands. "You're too late."
I looked down at my hands, young hands, covered in dark river mud, and in them the stiff, cold body of a dead foxhound.
I know what brought it on, of course. It was the letter from the filmmaker. I don't receive much mail these days: the occasional postcard from a dutiful, holidaying friend; a perfunctory letter from the bank where I keep a savings account; an invitation to the christening of a child whose parents I am shocked to realize are no longer children themselves.
Ursula's letter had arrived on a Tuesday morning late in November and Sylvia had brought it with her when she came to make my bed. She'd raised heavily sketched eyebrows and waved the envelope.
"Mail today. Something from the States by the look of the stamp. Your grandson, perhaps?" The left brow arched — a question mark — and her voice lowered to a husky whisper. "Terrible business, that. Just terrible. And him such a nice young man."
As Sylvia tut-tutted, I thanked her for the letter. I like Sylvia. She's one of the few people able to look beyond the lines on my face to see the twenty-year-old who lives inside. Nonetheless, I refuse to be drawn into conversation about Marcus.
I asked her to open the curtains and she pursed her lips a moment before moving on to another of her favorite subjects: the weather, the likelihood of snow for Christmas, the havoc it would wreak on the arthritic residents. I responded when required, but my mind was on the envelope in my lap, wondering at the scratchy penmanship, the foreign stamps, softened edges that spoke of lengthy travails.
"Here, why don't I read that for you," Sylvia said, giving the pillows a final, hopeful plump. "Give your eyes a bit of a rest?"
"No. Thank you. Perhaps you could pass my glasses, though?"
When she'd left, promising to come back and help me dress after she'd finished her rounds, I prised the letter from its envelope, hands shaking the way they do, wondering whether he was finally coming home.
But it wasn't from Marcus at all. It was from a young woman making a film about the past. She wanted me to look at her sets, to remember things and places from long ago. As if I hadn't spent a lifetime pretending to forget.
I ignored that letter. I folded it carefully and quietly, slid it inside a book I'd long ago given up reading. And then I exhaled. It was not the first time I had been reminded of what happened at Riverton, to Robbie and the Hartford sisters. Once I saw the tail end of a documentary on television, something Ruth was watching about war poets. When Robbie's face filled the screen, his name printed across the bottom in an unassuming font, my skin prickled. But nothing happened. Ruth didn't flinch, the narrator continued, and I went on drying the dinner plates.
Another time, reading the newspaper, my eye was drawn to a familiar name in a write-up in the television guide; a program celebrating seventy years of British films. I noted the time, my heart thrilling, wondering if I dared watch it. In the end I fell asleep before it finished. There was very little about Emmeline. A few publicity photos, none of which showed her true beauty, and a clip from one of her silent films, The Venus Affair, which made her look strange: hollowcheeked; jerky movements like a marionette. There was no reference to the other films, the ones that threatened such a fuss. I suppose they don't rate a mention in these days of promiscuity and permissiveness.
But although I had been met with such memories before, Ursula's letter was different. It was the first time in over seventy years that anyone had associated me with the events, had remembered that a young woman named Grace Reeves had been at Riverton that summer. It made me feel vulnerable somehow, singled out. Guilty.
No. I was adamant. That letter would remain unanswered.
And so it did.
A strange thing began to happen, though. Memories, long consigned to the dark reaches of my mind, began to sneak through cracks. Images were tossed up high and dry, picture-perfect, as if a lifetime hadn't passed between. And, after the first tentative drops, the deluge. Whole conversations, word for word, nuance for nuance; scenes played out as though on film.
I have surprised myself. While moths have torn holes in my recent memories, I find the distant past is sharp and clear. They come often lately, those ghosts from the past, and I am surprised to find I don't much mind them. Not nearly so much as I had supposed I would. Indeed, the specters I have spent my life escaping have become almost a comfort, something I welcome, anticipate, like one of those serials Sylvia is always talking about, hurrying her rounds so that she can watch them down at the main hall. I had forgotten, I suppose, that there were bright memories in amongst the dark.
When the second letter arrived last week, in the same scratchy hand on the same soft paper, I knew I was going to say yes, I would look at the sets. I was curious, a sensation I hadn't felt in some time. There is not much left to be curious about when one is ninety-eight years old, but I wanted to meet this Ursula Ryan who plans to bring them all to life again, who is so passionate about their story.
So I wrote her a letter, had Sylvia post it for me and we arranged to meet. Copyright © 2006 by Kate Morton

ALBUQUERQUE -- Bernalillo County sheriff's deputies are looking for a white truck and its driver who allegedly ran over a man after a spat of road rage Tuesday afternoon.
BCSO says the driver in the white truck got into an argument with another man, driving a black Ford truck, on Coors Boulevard near Arenal. Both drivers pulled into the parking lot of a Blake's Lotaburger, where the two men got into a verbal argument.
The man in the white truck then rammed the black truck as it was turning around to leave. The driver of the black truck got out of his vehicle to confront the man driving the white truck, and the driver began to drive off as the man was still holding on to his window frame.
The man eventually lost his grip and was allegedly run over by the white truck, according to BCSO.
Deputies say they are looking for two men who were in the white truck, described as Hispanic males between 5'5" and 5'8" and 120 to 140 pounds. The white truck in question is a late-model Chevrolet or GMC 1500 single cab with custom wheels. BCSO says the truck should have left front-end damage after ramming into the other truck.

Grand Canyon Backcountry Adventure Ride
View Single Post
The Tourist
Joined: May 2006
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
Oddometer: 3,212
Day 5
I leave town down the same roads I traveled yesterday...
...but they don't feel the same.
I finally reach...
the Mt Trumbull Schoolhouse. I've been inside several times before.
Cow Under the Moon
I head south from the schoolhouse junction onto a road I've never seen.
down I go into Whitmore Canyon.
I pass through an open gate and one I had to open myself.
I see the Bar-10 Ranch and am surprised by how small it appears. It was one small lodge with several smaller buildings behind it.
I didn't stop at the ranch or the bustling airport.
Past the airstrip the road narrows into an ATV trail. The ranch operates ATV tours through here and I passed a group heading back up.
I chat with the friendly ATV guide a few minutes. The tourists all tell me the view is worth the ride.
At this sign look for the road to get a little rougher and steeper.
I keep checking the new part, but its holding all of the fuel in.
Had I mentioned yet I need to re-valve the suspension? The front forks are to harsh and the front wheel is getting deflected all over the place
in all of the loose rocks. It would probably help to have a steering dampener, but the only steering dampener I have are my clenched fists.
There were a few washes to cross...
but I've had so much practice at these this week that they seemed easy.
Finally, the Colorado River comes into view.
Wow! I'm really down in the Grand Canyon!
