Skip to comments.FBI probe of Petraeus' emails purportedly led to discovery of extramarital affair
Posted on 11/11/2012 3:59:54 AM PST by tobyhill
The FBI investigation that led to the discovery of CIA Director David Petraeus extramarital affair and his resignation Friday started when the agency began monitoring Petraeus email, Fox News has learned. The agency was alerted that biographer Paula Broadwell, with whom Petraeus had the affair, may have had access to his personal email account.
The FBI investigation began when someone reported suspicious emails allegedly sent from Broadwell. The agency then determined that she allegedly had emailed a number of government employees. The FBI was at one point trying to determine whether any of the employees were being stalked, sources told Fox News.
Petraeus, who turned 60 on Wednesday, met his wife when he was a cadet at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. She was the daughter of the academy superintendent. They have two children, and their son led an infantry platoon in Afghanistan.
Holly Petraeus also works in the Obama administration, for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Petraeus met with President Obama on Thursday before submitting his letter of resignation, which the president accepted. In a message to staff, Petraeus said he asked "to be allowed" to step down.

WHO at the FBI is high enough to look at the CIA's DIRECTOR e-mails??? Mid-level...low-level....Director MUELLER???
They want to prove to the world that the American system of government is flawed by setting the system up, reporting it to the world and showing the world that they alone have the answers.
Holly Patreaus also worked for Elizabeth Warren....nuff said...two DEMONCRATS...could care less what happens to them.
Apparently Eric Cantor also knew since at least late October.
Come on. Whatever the timing, you have the director of the CIA letting his illicit squeeze look at his sensitive e-mails ( among other sensitive things).
To me this is far less about the suspicious timing than it is the utter foolishness of a once-great soldier.
It's all of the above. The GOP should have used this as a campaign issue even if they don't use names.
How much less could you care?
The Administration knew about this 18 months ago and I am going to tell you why.....Petraeus had a lie detector to take the current job and would have let that out either through being completely upfront or the lie detector would have picked up something when they ask if anything from your background cause embarrassment for the Administration. Why is Fox only covering this?????
Well folks they investigate the head of the CIA, a man who is an American Hero despite his dipping his wick where he shouldn't have. Yet they ignore Huma Abedin.
That should be very telling.
With his "resume enhancer" added to Petraeus' "accomplishments" this Demonicrat will be back on Traitorobama's thug team in no time.
He should have been suspected when he agreed to work for Traitorobama the first time.
And don't expect the fifth-column 'journalists' to criticize one of their own. More like "high-fives" all around, especially from all the other 'journalists' who have advanced the same way.
No, my Friend, she is not being ignored,the fools...er..sheeple may not know who she is, butt those in positions of power know exactly who she is, why she is there, and what she is doing.
Who's pulling Paula's strings?
Anyone with common sense knows that someone like Obama is going to operate Hoover style and have the resources at his disposal dig up dirt on his own staff in case they betray him for insurance later just in case. That's the way those guys roll. He had to have known long ago. He just wanted to get Petraeus to resign and discredit him before he testified at congressional hearings over BenghaziGate.
Up here in New York state we have had two State Police Superintendents resign in disgrace because they and their cohorts were involved 1) in SPYING on the opposition for the Governor Spitzer (D) (Superintendent Preston L Felton) 2) trying to intimidate a victim of DOMESTIC ASSAULT involving a top aide and close associate of Governor Patteron (D) (Superintendent Harry J Corbitt).
When law enforcement agencies are used for political purposes, in one manner or another, freedom is on the skids, it is the totalitarian way.
Whoever is in charge of email security. All email messages would be scanned. Anyone in a position that Petraeus had at the CIA would have to be a total idiot to use his CIA email account to send messages to and receive messages from his girlfriend. IMHO they have been sitting on this since before he took the position of Director. I think he just got tired of being blackmailed. I just hope he has enough integrity left to do the right thing now.
As I understand it the FBI concluded that there was no such security lapse.
People with very high security clearances get some on the side all the time. They are humans. When counter intelligence finds out they just make sure that said person isn't a CHICOM spy or some such. Otherwise it is no issue. Really! All people are humans.
And those on this forum who think that someone who agreed to put his life on the line for 30+ years and who agreed to go where he has to go 24/7 at the beck and call of the nation for 30+years (flag officers are probably paid on an hourly basis less than your car mechanic) agreed to be a monk just are plain out of their skull.
There are some things that are part of that social contract and some things that are not and when we confuse the two we are going to end up with third rate buttkissers running the military.
Exactly! I would think the FBI would have better things to do than investigate the CIA, especially over gossip triangle horse hockey. You can tell from the stupidity of this, it's from the White Hut. I doubt the FBI was even involved.
You could be right.
I amnot a religious scholar, but every large religion I know of preach's peace and love Except one.
I also find it impossible to believe that the head of the CIA does not understand the risk of email communications. There is much more to this.
Nothing is ever as it appears when it comes to politics. The MSM covers and lies and the internet is a swarm of wild and crazy speculation. The problem with issues like this, is our enemies see it. That's the part that bothers me.
I'm going to watch the story, take what I read with a grain of salt and see how it all unfolds.
Ok sport
who, why, what ?
As far as Petraeus, he lost me many months ago.
Petraeus may never testify is my guess. More likely, he will experience a "suicide", have a fatal heart attack or something similar (Clinton's way of eliminating problems).
The gov knew about the affair and are using that as a lever to shut him up about Bengazi. No matter what, he MUST be made to talk.
"The FBI investigation began when someone reported suspicious emails allegedly sent from Broadwell. The agency then determined that she allegedly had emailed a number of government employees. The FBI was at one point trying to determine whether any of the employees were being stalked, sources told Fox News."
What the? She was sending stalkerish emails to government employees using his email account? Sounds like she was getting some revenge on him. Right?
Anybody who takes at face value the story that the FBI was investigating the DCI without the FBI director immeditately informing the president in person, is too stupid to be allowed outside of a care facility.
Or, they are damned liars. (The MSM.)
Mueller himself would demand an audience with Obama the moment he learned about the security breach at the very top of the CIA. He would go in person, that very day, and he would not be deterred by Axlerod or Jarrett or anybody else. He would deliver this message in person. He would have to do so. If he didn't, he could be fired or worse for gross dereliction of duty and other security-related charges.
It's going to be interesting to ask Mueller when he told the president about the FBI's investigation of the DCI.
Obviously, Obama has known about it for months.
This might be a lie so big that even the MSM won't be able to cover it up.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Excellent question.
Something here stinks to high heaven!
Seems like the FBI failed in it's duties to vet the incoming
CIA director. Petraeus affair reportedly ended in 2011 - before he accepted his CIA position.
"This might be a lie so big that even the MSM wont be able to cover it up."
They already have. "It was about SEX, who cares???"
SEX could be the "hook" that pulls a few MSM reporters into covering Benghazi.
Petreaus has a lot to answer for, especially about his early take on the bogus Mohammed video excuse.
Let him take the 5th and damn himself to the hall of traitors forever.
Or let him tell the truth, in an attempt to redeem his honor.
Either way, it's history being made.
Or, he might go on a canoe trip or picnic in Fort Marcy Park.
The stakes don't get much bigger. Eternal Disgrace. John Dean Cubed. Murdered to shut his mouth forever.
Not to mention, when Mueller is asked under oath when he told Obama about the FBI investigating the DCI.
It doesn't get bigger than this. The MSM will wind up covering it, for sure. (I hope.)
I heard Friday, "Banghazi? Who cares? It's a non-story. The real story is that the Demeocrats won and re-elected Obama. Nobody cared before the election and no one cares now. Let the extreme right-wing segment of the Republican party continue this ridiculous investigation instead of helping those in need. It's going nowhere."
Did Israel Honey Trap David Petraeus?
November 9th, 2012 | Author: Patriot
With the breaking news on General Petraeus (http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/cia-chief-petraeus-resigns-reportedly-over-affair-201305343politics.html) you might be interested in taking a look at the Mondoweiss.net link (at the following New Statesman article) which broke the story about email exchanges with David Petraeus which US mainstream media ignored as well (as also mentioned on Press TV via http://tinyurl.com/proisraelbiasedmedia & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEtASJOjDU8).
"And those on this forum who think that someone who agreed to put his life on the line for 30+ years and who agreed to go where he has to go 24/7 at the beck and call of the nation for 30+years (flag officers are probably paid on an hourly basis less than your car mechanic) agreed to be a monk just are plain out of their skull."
He also implicitly agreed to adhere to the UCMJ during those 30+ years or face the consequences.
The day after Benghazi, instead of looking for the terrorists, the administration immediately began investigations of Americans who might not be completely loyal to them. Something about one of his emails referring to "under the desk" (something illegal) triggered the investigation, only to find it was sex under the desk. Yeah right.
I expect that kind of behavior from a run of the mill spook. Not from the head of the CIA. And certainly not from a president.
So the guy who married the West Point Superintendent's daughter he met while attending West Point, hooks up with a potential whoring gold digger, collecting infor for a biography? He marries the bosses daughter, so to speak. Then he shacks up with a young honey, who is ever so interested in his life.
I'm sorry, he's a cheater. get divorced if you want to have sex with someone else, but don't cheat!
WHO in the FBI was allowed to investigate the CIA DIRECTOR?????
GOOD RIDDANCE you RUINER of the military by wanting OENLY GAY SOLDIERS!!!
There are some things you just have to figure out for yourself.
As fas as Petraeus goes,I had my doubts about him when, after Hillary insulted him[in my opinion]on the Senate floor, he joined the obama administration. Honest individuals do not unite with crooks.
Richard Nixon must be spinning at the fawning kid-gloves MSM treatment Obama is getting for a scandal a million times worse than Watergate.
Between getting 4 people killed in Bengazi and Fast & Furious killing hundreds of people including a federal gent, yes, Nixon is thinking he got a raw deal and should have stayed.
Proof Democrats are corrupt and the only way to defeat them is to fight them, not hug them as the RINOs do.
Four Americans were killed in Benghazi, but that is the tip of the proverbial iceberg, if Team Obama was "walking" shoulder-fired heat-seeking missiles to Al Qaeda.
Which part of the UCMJ did he violate?
So every serving military officer, and all officer appointments are senate confirmed, should quit?
Punitive Articles of the UCMJ
Article 134 Adultery
This has ruined many careers.
There was an air force general on the Joint Chiefs of Staff - separated from his wife, and involved with another woman. He was charged with adultery and withdrawn from consideration for promotion.

Grocery shopping while sticking to a budget can be tough! Here are some simple tricks to putting more in your fridge and keeping more in your wallet – all while maintaining a healthy diet!
Buy fruits and vegetables in season. They will be cheaper and more delicious.
Spend a little more on those items that make a difference to your health, and save on the items that don't. For example, spend a little more on lean ground turkey, and buy generic paper products and whole grains.
Use coupons – paper and electronic – for items you need. There are several great coupon sites that offer weekly savings if you don't get the newspaper. But beware. Coupons for the less healthy foods are just not worth it!
Buy in bulk when on sale if you can. You may end up spending more up front but will save more in the long run.
And lastly, stick to your list!!

Definition of mukhtar in English:
(In Turkey and some Arab countries) the head of local government of a town or village.
Example sentences
- The difference, they say, stems from a new approach of relying on sheiks and mukhtars - the tribal and local leaders who wield enormous influence among some 75,000 people in hundreds of villages and small towns south of the city of Mosul.
- Not all municipalities and mukhtars found in the competition area may be indicated in the list below.
- The government refused therefore to recognize that these mukhtars had any de jure authority.
From Arabic muḵtār, passive participle of iḵtāra 'choose'.

Whether it's Pudsey the Dog's first movie or Mel B's appointment as an X Factor judge, Jonathan Shalit is the man pulling the strings.
As founder of celebrity agency Roar, he creates opportunities for his clients to ensure their ongoing place in the public eye, landing them spots on TV series or negotiating primetime appearances or radio shows.
He also brokers deals with big brands on behalf of his clients, "turning fame into fortune," he says.
"Some of our clients make millions from the deals we negotiate," he claims.
One of the most important parts of the business, however, is reputation management. When disaster strikes, Shalit is there to clean up the mess.
"I know the most powerful people in Britain," says Shalit, who claims to have the Prime Minister and the editors of many major newspapers on speed dial. "I will speak to them to protect my clients if necessary."
Tulisa, a member of the N-Dubs pop band, later solo artist and TV personality, is one of Shalit's clients. She recently went to trial over drug allegations. However, Roar was spared the need to manage the crisis. "Fortunately Tulisa was completely vindicated and the case was thrown out," says Shalit. "It could have been tragic for her.
"Things like that stay on the internet for ever. Long after the newspapers and magazines have been thrown away, a business will Google you and discount you for a major opportunity based on what they find."
It is becoming harder and harder to police content online, he admits. "Companies are paid a lot of money to clean up reputations on the web these days," he says.
Shalit claims that he can take anyone from "zero to hero" -–provided they have talent.
"You might not like all of our clients but they all have talent," he says. "Someone who enjoys Greg Wallace on Masterchef may not like our contemporary music artists, or may not watch Judge Rinder [the star of a new British reality court show on ITV], but they are all very talented at what they do."
Kerry Katona, in contrast, does not have talent, he claims. "Her way of living means milking every penny out of every opportunity," he says. "She's not skilled, she's only good at being famous and provocative. She's someone who gets paid to put on three stone and then to lose it," he continues. "You can be talented and be a celebrity but you can also be a celebrity without being talented."
Shalit defends the multi-million-pound pay cheques received by his celebrity clients. "A lot of them are single parents and need to finance their families," she says. "And in this game, it's feast or famine. A normal person has a constant income that grows and grows but talent doesn't have that. They have to build a nest egg for when they retire, for the fallow years."
Shalit founded his talent management company 15 years ago and has been credited with discovering popstrel Charlotte Church and taking Myleene Klass from member of pop group Hearsay to national treasure.
"It was difficult to get started but then I discovered Charlotte Church, which established me as a major talent finder," he says. "You have to spot talent before it's famous."
His knack for signing emerging stars has helped the agency grow 20pc year on year. Today, Roar represents the interests of many household names. It brokered the deal between Lorraine Kelly and catalogue retailer JD Williams, set up brand partenrships for model Kelly Brook in clothing, fragrances and calendars, made Tulisa the face of BANK fashion and negotiated Denise van Outen's endorsement of Liberte yogurt.
"People look at what I do and nod and wink and think it's a bit of fun," says Shalit.
"Actually I run a serious business that helps a lot of people."

Although I have given this Jumper a 3-star rating, I feel that may be slightly harsh. There is very little wrong with it - the quality of the knit is second to none, it is warm yet not too heavy and the colour, design, and price are fantastic. The only issue I had was the sleeves. I wear a large and often don't mind when a jumper of this kind is slightly loose fitting, however with this product I found the length in the arms bordering on ridiculous. As a result, I must warn anyone trying to buy this product, to buy one size smaller to accommodate. I hope this helps.

Kulov (left) with other opposition leaders at a rally in April (ITAR-TASS)
June 2, 2007 - Some Kyrgyz opposition members began collecting signatures today for a referendum on a confederation with Russia, RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service reported.
June 02, 2007
The initiative was announced at a meeting of some 200 people in the center of Bishkek.
The gathering was led by Former Prime Minister Feliks Kulov, head of the United Front for a Worthy Future for Kyrgyzstan.
Kulov said the confederation would prevent Kyrgyzstan from falling apart.
Tursunbek Akun, the chairman of the human rights commission under the Kyrgyz president, criticized the proposal as did opposition lawmaker Omurbek Tekebaev, who said Kyrgyzstan should maintain its full sovereignty.

ALFRED — Sydney Pepin, of Alfred, a freshman at Massabesic High School, has been presented with an engraved bronze medallion to recognize her selection as a Distinguished Finalist for 2013 in The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program.
She received the medallion during Awards Night at Massabesic High School on Monday evening.
Pepin is being honored for raising more than $3,400 with sponsorships to create and distribute more than 250 "cancer support bags" filled with tissues, snacks, cough drops, lotion, puzzle books, pens, paper and stuffed animals for cancer patients in the region.
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, conducted by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), represent the United States' largest youth recognition program based exclusively on volunteer community service. All middle and high schools in the United States, along with all Girl Scout councils, county 4-H organizations, Red Cross chapters, YMCAs and affiliates of HandsOn Network, were eligible to select a student or member for a local Prudential Spirit of Community Award last November. Two State Honorees — one middle and one high school student — plus a select number of Distinguished Finalists from each state and the District of Columbia were selected based on criteria such as personal initiative, effort, impact and personal growth.

Jelly babies. Pure, sweet temptations.
Bicycle Zen.
My in-laws little farm looking more beautiful everyday.
TV star.
Ditch Windows NOW!
How much time have you spent upgrading to Windows 10?
How much time have you spent watching the progress bar on Windows Update?
Really? Do you love watching the progress bar that much?
Don't just accept that crap.
Ditch Windows!
This morning I have spent over 2 hours trying to upgrade to Windows 10. That's 2 hours of my life that I won't get back. A pointless waste of time.
And why? Who knows? (it might be because I'm an idiot)
I used to just accept it as a fact that I would have to figure out how to upgrade stuff. But isn't that what Microsoft should be doing? I'm just a pleb with a computer. Perhaps it's my geeky tendencies, but no more.
No more Windows for me!
I've been using a Chromebook since the start of 2015 and love it to bits. It cost next to nothing (NT$10,500 or about US$350), does what I want it to do and does it well.
How long have I spent looking at the progress bar in Chrome OS?
None, zip, zilch.
When there's an update, it downloads in the background a small little icon appears in the bottom indicating that a restart is needed. Bliss.
This tendency to accept crap from software also applied when I used Ubuntu. Yay, it's free, but I spent hours figuring out bugs and compatibility issues. Hours that I should have spent doing something useful. (NOTE to self: stop undervaluing your time)
Perhaps Apple fans have known this for years (I have no idea, but it sure looks that way), but now non-Apple chaps can have the same.
Get a Chromebook. You'll never look back.
Dear HTC
Dear HTC
I was so excited when we first met.
As I held you in my hand your One X curves made me feel good.
And you were a spritely little chap.
It seemed as all would go well.
And I was proud of you.
But I was sorely disappointed.
Let me count the ways.
Your photos sucked. I'm not a pro, nor will I ever be. But not being able to take a picture that is fully in focus, even when I hold you gently like a newborn baby or hold you tight like you're going to run you just can't do it. It seems so obvious.
In focus pictures. Duh. But nope. Eesh.
You're greedy. All that space you said. You can take a whole lot of photos and videos you said. But alas you gave me too much. No space left for apps you said. What's going on there? No space for more apps? Are you kidding? So sad.
Your camera module looks snazzy and all. But the glass of the damn thing touches the surface when placed down. Ridiculous. So slowly over time, besides not taking in focus pictures, they now have a mist moving slowly northward.
A USB port on the side? Sigh. Well, no chance of charging in my pocket then (okay, with difficulty, I have big pockets), or attaching any devices. And a headphone jack at the top. Hmm, I'll forgive you, but not too smart.
A recessed front camera might have seemed smart to someone. But they weren't too smart then. How do you clean it? I've gotten a little tired of fishing for earbuds to get that sucker clean. Ooops, I forgot that that camera can't take a clear picture anyway. Why bother?
I saw your fruity competitor and thought I'd give you a chance. I made my vote and went against the crowd and I was wrong.
You failed on so many levels to really understand me. You tried to convince me with flash and numbers. But your promises were hollow. And your creators showed that they were completely out of touch with what I really wanted or needed.
But your Korean brothers have stepped into the fold.
Samsung has pushed back and they appear to be quite safely on par with the big red fruit. Yay!
So I'm bidding you farewell.
I wanted to support you.
National pride perhaps.
But you let me down.
I wish it weren't so, but there you go. I have been hurt and the damage is done.
I'm switching sides.
Farewell my Taiwanese friend, perhaps we'll make up in the future, but I see little hope.
I wish you all the best.
To the future,
Steroids vs Training
I only have a handful of exercise, fitness type sites that I read, and this is from one of them.
In the article analysing Steroids and Training it turns out that you can build more strength with steroids alone than with training alone. Yep, gains with steroids while doing absolutely no exercise. Yikes!
That's really something that needs to sink in (and it's mentioned throughout the article). Without any training whatsoever, and with only very small doses of anabolics, it's possible to outgain someone busting their butt training and being super careful about their diet.
Those 120kg+ chaps. Impossible without steroids.

The Giver vs The Dutch
I read The Giver after I was given a copy of the book. It was a quick read, but I remember enjoying it a lot. The perspective on how life could be was quite thought provoking.
It got me thinking, but the main thing was the image of the world they were living in.
It was slightly disappointing when I saw the first trailer for the movie. It was less, "Wow" and more, "Huh?".
As I thought about it I realized that the world in the movie is completely alien for a lot of people, and most especially for Americans.
The idea of a world not dominated by cars and a reliance on walking and bicycles as a way of life is foreign to the US. And, of course, this is a Hollywood movie.
But, that way of life already exists.
For the rest of the world, it is almost impossible to imagine this kind of life. But the magical world of The Giver exists already. It is only in American society where the powers that be give a great big thumbs up to humanity and simply kiss the ass of big, corporate interests.
For over 40 years, the Dutch have put bicycles, and pedestrians at the forefront for transport, given at least as much focus as motorized transport. The very young and very old have a form of transport that will not get them killed when they make small mistakes and they are not forced to be driven around because roads are unsafe.

Why I won't fly South African Airlines
I never fly on SAA. Unless there's no other option I will not fly with them.
I'm in no way a regular traveller, and probably only take flights every two or three years. But even with that little experience I have been completely turned off from using my home country's airline.
Two airlines
Between South Africa and Taiwan there are only two choices: Cathay Pacific and SAA. I've had a chance to fly both. On Cathay Pacific I was very happy with the service I received and everything was hunky dory. Unfortunately I got put on SAA on a return leg and boy did I get a shock at the difference in quality between the two.
There's not too much between the airlines in the quality of their planes and and the like, and in fact SAA had better and newer equipment and the leg spacing was better. The Cathay Pacific plane was clearly aging and showed its age by simply not being very modern.
But that wasn't the deciding factor.
Not by a long shot.
On a long haul flight you can really see how well the cabin staff handle themselves and even the least friendly Cathay Pacific crew member still had a smile on their face and would help when asked. On SAA it's a whole different story. The cabin staff arguing with passengers and just giving attitude. Staff dealing with non-English passengers and getting annoyed with them for not understanding. From my perspective it was just rude. I tried to put this down to the other passengers being Chinese. There is a vast cultural difference there, but even my own stereotypes of how annoying Chinese tourists can be will not allow me to excuse those attitudes to them. I wouldn't excuse myself either.
There are probably good staff, too. But one rotten apple spoils the bunch.
Of course there are annoying passengers. But giving lip doesn't help anything and interrogating them or questioning their motives on any matter is just not on. Don't look at someone who's command of English is not fantastic and get annoyed. Deal with it. If you are on an international flight, isn't that part of basics?
Shiny turd
I was reading the Sawubona magazine that is on offer on SAA airlines and saw an article about how proud they are of being awarded The Best Airline in Africa part of the Skyways award program (or something along those lines). I would liken this to having the shiniest turd in the shit contest. Be proud, but don't be content. You've won because your airline was formerly government owned and benefits as part of the wealthiest country in Africa. The odds are stacked in your favor. Instead, compare to small airlines elsewhere in the world. There are small airlines around the world who could mop the floor when it comes to customer service.
So, on my next journey, Cathay Pacific was sold out on the day I wanted, so I just extended my holiday, rather than take SAA. It's just not worth it.
SAA, you can do so much better. Over and out.

APSCUF is the voice for a quality public higher education that works to ensure students receive all the educational benefits and opportunities possible from our 14 state colleges and universities. Representing almost 110,000 students from the State System universities, APSCUF is dedicated to keeping students updated through our APSCUF Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest pages. We're also on Snapchat (APSCUF). Follow us!
Faculty and coach contract negotiations
Your professors, coaches, and other faculty members are organized in the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties. This union negotiates with the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education to reach a fair collective-bargaining agreement that facilitates faculty members' ability to provide quality, affordable higher education. Faculty and coach members have been working under expired contracts since June 30, 2015.
Negotiations for both contracts are ongoing. In early April, APSCUF members grew frustrated with the state of these negotiations and discussed a strike-authorization vote. In the end, it was concern for students that impelled delegates to delay such a vote until summer or fall. APSCUF's negotiations team continues to meet with the State System. While APSCUF and the State System have found common ground on some minor issues, overall there is no major progress toward a new contract. On Aug. 25, delegates from all 14 campuses decided full APSCUF faculty members will take a strike-authorization vote Sept. 7–9. Full APSCUF coach members will take a strike-authorization vote Sept. 14–15.
APSCUF members do not want to strike, but they will protect faculty members, coaches, and students in their fight to provide affordable, high-quality public education.
Multiple steps must take place before a strike begins. Simply, the process for faculty is:
- A simple majority of the negotiations committee recommends to place a strike-authorization vote on the agenda of the next legislative assembly or requests an emergency legislative assembly for that purpose. (Step completed)
- A simple majority of the legislative assembly calls for a strike-authorization vote of the membership. (Step completed)
- A simple majority of the faculty active membership votes to authorize a strike. (Sept. 7–9)
- A 10-vote majority of the negotiations committee approves a strike.
- The State APSCUF president, in consultation with the negotiations committee, notifies the members of a strike date.
- The State APSCUF president, in consultation with the negotiations committee, officially announces a strike has begun.

United We Stand, Underfunded We Fail: What you can do now
About 500 people filled the Capitol rotunda Feb. 8, 2016, to advocate for fair funding for our 14 state-owned universities. The event was a roaring display of unity and activism featuring legislators and State System students, faculty members, and alumni. Students and professional media reported the Feb. 8 event, and we documented the activities, too.
But our work is not over, and there is much you can do:
• Contact your legislators and tell them the importance of fair funding for your university and the entire state system. Click here for a template and talking points.
• Contact your university's APSCUF office to find out how you can get involved on your campus.
• Apply for an APSCUF internship to learn more about what the organization does for students, faculty, and coaches — and to take an active role in our efforts.

Monday Recruitin'
There's a lot of news after an important official visit weekend, so it's back to Monday for the recruiting roundup.
Update 1/12: Linked articles on OH CB Mike Edwards (mention of OH OL Chris Freeman), SC OL Quinton Washington, FL CB Adrian Witty, MI DT Will Campbell, AZ DE Craig Roh, SC OL Quinton Washington, SC DE Sam Montgomery (two, three), OH LB Isaiah Bell, LA DT DeQuinta Jones, OH CB Mike Edwards (again), PA WR Je'Ron Stokes, PA LB Dan Mason, AL LB Tana Patrick, LA LB Barkevious Mingo, video of MI WR Cam Gordon.
Removed MD RB Tavon Austin (WVU), FL CB Mywan Jackson (UNC). Removed WR commit Dewayne Peace. Added OH WR Terence Davis.
VA QB Tajh Boyd: no. Are we recruiting DeDe Lattimore again?
AA Game highlights from Varsity Blue. ESPN revamped their rankings and the news is mostly good.
Editorial Opinion: Recruiting board lives here.
Big official visit weekend coincided with 8-12 inches of snow and, perhaps fortuitously, one of Michigan's traditions most likely to appeal to muscle-bound 17 year olds: a bigass snowball fight. Various posters participated; there's an MGoBoard thread. (Poster MGoAndy took one for the team in a delicate area, which sucks for him but hopefully means good things for the baseball team.) Barkevious Mingo was also spotted at the Saturday hockey game.
Anyway, on with the show.
What say you, VA QB Tajh Boyd?
"They said they really need a quarterback and that I'd fit in really well and could play early," he said. "I know it's a big program, but I haven't been looking into them much and don't really know a lot about them or coach Rich Rodriguez. I'm really not considering them right now."
Ah. You say "no." Moving on, then…
With rumors of a Eugene Smith visit proving unfounded the last real quarterback prospect Michigan has a shot at is FL QB/CB/WR Denard Robinson, who visited this weekend with teammate and FL CB Adrian Witty. Witty's got an offer now, and the hope is Michigan can sell the duo on a package deal:
"That's a real good thing too, if we were both to go there, at least we'd know each other. We wouldn't feel left out."
Given the number of open scholarships available and the situation at both QB and corner I'd take Robinson even if he cost two scholarships; getting a potentially useful guy at a position of need is a bonus.
Sam Montgomery!!!
SC DE Sam Montgomery is one crazy cat, man. As of a couple weeks ago Michigan was a solid fifth on an ordered list of favorites. Last week, Michigan was even-ish with LSU and North Carolina. This week:
Michigan will play host to Under Armour All-American defensive end Sam Montgomery (Greenwood, S.C./Greenwood) for an official visit this week and Montgomery said on Wednesday night that the Wolverines may have pulled ahead a little.
"I am really liking (Michigan) right now," Montgomery said. "But LSU is in there as well."
Wha? Time for party hats? NSFMF!
Montgomery said right now LSU and Tennessee are tied as his favorites.
Okay, no quote, but that's from Phil Kornblut, who's pretty reliable about these things over at PalmettoSports.com.
But wait! There's more confusion! Kornblut strikes again!
"I was impressed by the bond of the players. They were all family. I loved them to death. There's no selfishness. They are all on the same page. They are ready to win some games. And playing opportunity is there. I'm high on Michigan right now. They are two steps ahead of everybody. But I'll wait and make my decision after all the visits."
You're going to love my nuts!!! Head asplode!
Okay. Okay. Okay. WTF? Let's attempt to synthesize this:
- Montgomery says random things. Every year there are a few guys who either change their mind every two days or just enjoy the chaos they can cause with a quote; Montgomery is one of those guys. Michigan fans were introduced to him when he said something like "I'm from Detroit! I love Detroit!" in a recruiting article; his mom would later laugh that off with something like "that boy ain't from Detroit."
Some crotchety folk might disdain this sort of showmanship, but I look on any Michigan recruit who might 1) be awesome and 2) give ridiculous, Irons-brothers-like quotes as a must-get. If his name lent itself to Mingo-stole-my-baby jokes I would cry if he went anywhere else.
But the downside (given the very latest on his recruitment): any sort of lead Michigan might have is ephemeral.
- One thing that does help is the uncertainty at LSU. Though DL coach Earl Lane isn't officially out the door, LSU sort of hired a guy to do his job. It would be awkward if Lane didn't, you know, do something else. And The Valley Shook is already talking like Lane is gone. There were a couple of damage control articles at LSU sites over the past few days in which Montgomery said more Things, but losing your recruiter is never a positive. All that stuff about LSU leading is at least doubtful.
- That is a really unambiguously "schwing" quote.
So. I think Montgomery is still more likely to end up at LSU or Tennessee or somewhere in the south than Michigan. If he gets through the next week without naming someone else his leader I'll feel much better; if he gets through an official visit without dropping a similarly schwing quote on another school I'll feel better still.
Jones on the roam
Elsewhere in uncertainty, LA DT DeQuinta Jones took a visit to Arkansas this weekend and offered up this less than reassuring quote:
"I'm still with [Michigan] right now, but I've been talking to my family," Jones said. "They've told me to make the best decision I can make for myself."
There is also this:
While Jones said distance to Ann Arbor, Mich., wouldn't be a factor in his decision, he said playing at Arkansas and in the SEC would allow his family to see him play more often and could factor into his decision.
As suggested earlier, Jones' commit is pretty soft.
Still more scouting
Last week's mondo scouting dump from the All-American games missed a couple stragglers. I thought OH LB Isaiah Bell wasn't going to get any traction from his showing at the UA bowl, but this may indicate otherwise:
After struggling through the first practice and temporarily moving to linebacker, Bell found his rhythm starting on Day Two. A big safety, he was able to come up to the line of scrimmage and stop the run as well as cover the inside receivers. Though he could add some bulk and be a very good outside linebacker at Michigan, he has the instincts of a safety in the passing game. Sunday's game proved that as he finished second on the team with five tackles and also added a pass breakup. He has a knack for being in the right place at the right time.
Rivals rated him the #8 player on his team at the UA bowl, one spot ahead of ninja quarterback Russell Shepard(!). ESPN already liked him, and the UA game didn't change things. They said Bell "opened up everyone's eyes with his coverage ability." While there's no chance Bell passes Shepard in the actual rankings, it sound like he's due for another star.
Meanwhile, more praise for AZ DE Craig Roh, who Rivals named the #5 player on his team:
After a somewhat slow start to the week, the future Michigan Wolverine really turned things up. He is the definition of a pass-rushing defensive end. He was able to use his athleticism and quickness against the much larger offensive linemen throughout the week's practices and did not give the quarterbacks much time to throw. Roh also showed a bit of surprising strength in being able to bullrush the offensive tackles at times. He had one sack and three hurries in Sunday's game.
ESPN was impressed enough to move him into their top 50:
Michigan commit Craig Roh (Scottsdale, Ariz./Chaparral) had a great week in Orlando and proved to be a dangerous pass-rusher. He is smart and possesses a wonderful motor. He will need to add bulk to his frame once he hits Ann Arbor, but he is still tough versus the run. He is very good with his hands, and his spin and counter moves will make him a handful as a pass-rusher. Roh rose from No. 87 to No. 48.
With ESPN's inexplicable disses of Justin Turner and Will Cambpell, Roh's the highest-ranked Michigan commit to them. (It's clear ESPN had no one at the Army game, as every big mover in their top 150 attended the UA game. Cutting off their nose to spite their face there.)
AZ OL Taylor Lewan also rose in ESPN's rankings, ending up at the fringe of the top 150 (link ibid):
A late bloomer at the offensive tackle position this season is converted defensive lineman Taylor Lewan (Scottsdale, Ariz/Chaparral). Lewan, who wasn't initially on the radar, debuted in the ESPNU 150 at No. 147 thanks to his raw athletic talent and consistency in winning the vast majority of individual battles. He should be a very productive offensive lineman as he matures and his fundamentals sharpen.
Corners: yes-no-maybe, no (probably)
OH CB Mike Edwards named Tennessee his leader last week. This week, he claimed no leader…
"It looks like it will be Tennessee, Michigan or Cincinnati. I don't have a favorite. I've only visited Cincinnati."
…and then claimed Tennessee leader once more:
Tennessee solidified its standing as the top team on Mike Edwards' list during an in-home visit from coach Lane Kiffin and running backs coach Stan Drayton on Thursday.
Or did he? That article contains no quote from Edwards to that effect, just a lot of boilerplate responses to stock questions. So, eh… eh? Eh. I call him mini-Montgomery.
Edwards will visit Michigan this weekend, at which point we'll have a much better feel for M's chances; at this point the declared Tennessee lead, even if it's been backed off on, seems convincing enough to me. And then there's the Glenville stuff. I'm slightly pessimistic here.
Meanwhile, this on FL CB Jayron Hosley is bad:
Jayron Knows Where He's Going
It is bad because Hosley just visited South Florida and that article comes from USFNation.com. The inescapable conclusion is that Hosley's headed to USF. He will still take the Michigan trip he has scheduled for next week. That's even more obviously a longshot than it was a few days ago.
It's even more likely now that Michigan takes a last-second flier on a corner with pretty meh offers.
Offensive linemen, once again
Everyone was very excited about man-mountain Chris Freeman earlier in the year, and since three of Michigan's teammates had just migrated from Trotwood-Madison to Michigan it looked like M had a pretty good shot. Then went months and months without much, if any, news on Freeman and now it looks like he and Michigan have parted ways:
"I know I want to go to Wisconsin, Missouri and Tennessee," Freeman said. "I'd like to get at least three visits in, but I don't know for sure. My favorite would be between Wisconsin and Tennessee."
That leaves Michigan with three shots at another OL in the class. One of them is SC OL Quinton Washington, who'll take a few visits and then decide:
Other programs have been working hard to establish similar relationships. They've also focused a great deal of effort on securing one of his remaining official visits. Three are now finalized -- Clemson this weekend, South Carolina on Jan. 17 and Tennessee on Jan. 24. According to Craig [Washington, Quinton's father], Michigan has set the visit-bar very high for those schools.
"I think for Michigan, being first was great," he said. "I am going to have schools that are going to have a lot of stuff to live up to. I don't know if anyone can do that. Honestly, I think Michigan has got just as good a chance as anybody right now."
Hard to parse that last quote: "I don't know if anyone can live up to his Michigan visit… they've got, eh, a chance." My general impression of the internet's general impression is that South Carolina is a slight favorite, but the internet isn't sure about that.
NC OL Travis Bond keeps waiting, but other schools aren't. Our semi-regular source on North Carolina recruiting chips in with this:
NC State is done with OL recruiting. They're out. Source said that Bond had been a silent commitment to UNC for a couple of weeks and would make it official after his 1/16 visit.
How in the hell UNC plans on fitting all these guys on campus, let alone in this recruiting class, remains unknown, but I'm sure it's totally on the up-and-up.
Finally, I have a well-elucidated stance on OH OL Marcus Hall: I will believe he is at Michigan when he is a redshirt sophomore living on Geddes. But I will point out that he did in fact take an official to Michigan and there is now a GBW article up from them asking "is there a new #1 for Hall?" and the answer to these questions is always yes. And then I'll point out that PA CB Corey Brown called Michigan his leader and then visited OSU and committed, surprising no one. Recruits will often shade their answers to please the person interviewing them. It's human nature.
But Bill Kurelic is a major Ohio State booster and, well:
Earlier today I posted the information about Marcus Hall after his visit to Michigan. Hall said the Wolverines may have pulled into a slight lead over Ohio State with Miami next.
Could this be something here? I'm not getting my hopes up but it's taking a bit more effort than it used to. One of the BuckeyePlanet mods says "think Campbell," FWIW, clearly implying that the shift in favorites is for drama only.
(Kurelic on a couple more visitors:
DE Sam Montgomery (S.C) told me Michigan is now in the race after his visit to Michigan, but he still has trips set to North Carolina, LSU and Tennessee.
QB Denard Robinson (Fla.) was impressed with Michigan, but did not commit. He says he is considering Michigan, Florida, Georgia and Kansas State.
Is that bad news on Montgomery since it's not as positive? Eh, maybe not, since the really good quote from Montgomery was given to a local reporter. It could be a representation of how negative Kurelic tends to be about Michigan and that means we're definitely getting Hall(!). Or it could just be way, way too much read into a random statement. (Hint: the latter.))
Stallworth, Stokes
LA WR Travante Stallworth also took a visit. Kornblut has an update but no quote, saying only his mother accompanied him and it was "a good time." MGoBlog's own Tom VanHaaren has a bit more:
I just talked to Travante Stallworth, and he was very excited about the visit. Terrence Robinson was his host, and thought he was a cool guy. Travante has seen snow before, and watched the snowball fight. He said the best part for him was how family oriented everyone was, especially the coaches. He felt very comfortable with all the players, and more importantly the coaches. …
He said that all the recruits that were there were all excited to be there, and they all had an awesome time. He said, "We all talked among ourselves about a few things," and he felt like the vibe was good.
I've been optimistic about Stallworth since Tom's interview earlier, but Auburn hired Gus Malzahn in the meantime—defying Chizik's previous claim to be a "smashmouth" devotee—and is a more serious threat than they were before.
Meanwhile, Penn State is also chasing nominal Tennessee commit and PA WR Je'Ron Stokes but this doesn't sound too promising for their chances:
Stokes will make official visits to Michigan the weekend of Jan. 16 and Illinois the weekend of Jan. 23.
"I'm going to try and squeeze in Penn State," Stokes said. "I won't take more than four visits. The other school is Georgia, but right now it looks like Penn State will be the fourth visit if I take a fourth one."
On the other hand, that does sound pretty good for Michigan. Stokes seems leery of Tennessee now they've dumped both their quarterback recruits—and have no one in last year's class to boot—which would leave Illinois as the only real competition if Stokes doesn't take a fourth visit.
Etc.: Yet another Campbell commit article. PA LB Dan Mason (no offer) "pretty much down to Pitt and West Virginia". No mention of M in this article on AL LB Tana Patrick. LA LB Barkevious Mingo has a coach; said coach believes he's going to LSU.
Hockey Is A Go
"After a discussion with our engineers late this afternoon, we are extremely confident that we are going to play in front of a sellout crowd at Yost Ice Arena on Saturday night," said associate athletic director Bruce Madej. "Safety was our first and foremost thought when we postponed tonight's game; it had to done."
Death to Miami, etc.
Decision Time
In such a cynical, sarcastic society, oftentimes looking for the negative on anybody or anything, if you're fortunate enough to spend five minutes or 20 minutes around Tim Tebow, your life is better for it.
-Thom Brennaman
"Go. Go. Go. Go. Go"
-Brennaman and Charles Rogers. On third and goal.
Ideally, football games are not opportunities to reflect on just why everyone under 35 has a protective shell of cynicism and sarcasm between the world and everyone's inner Beaver.* But this one was the BCS championship game on FOX, so it was either that or picture Thom Brennaman massaging lotion into Tebow's feet.
Anyway, the reason most of my generation raised outside the state of Utah and I are looking for the negative so often is people like Thom Brennaman, corporate robots who relentlessly praise anyone and anything they're directed to.
The annoying shilling doesn't stop at the commercial break's edge these days; in fact, that guy with the Boomhauer accent saying "that thur is purty dern cool" during one of the six hundred commercials for a pickup truck was probably the most genuine moment of the night. That guy actually believed tool boxes in the side of your pickup truck were purty dern cool, and he communicated that without sanctimony or idiocy. At no point did he turn to the camera and say that if you didn't think tool boxes on your pickup truck were purty dern cool then you are destined for the lake of fire.
If only we could say the same for FOX. I could write a bunch of stuff about what an embarrassment that whole thing was, but other people have taken care of this for me. Fanhouse:
Brennaman was so far over the top in his pro-Tebow hyperbole on Thursday that the game became darn-near unwatchable unless the volume was off.
Assumptions one should not make about this game: … 3) Fox puts on an incompetent broadcast. No. Incompetent doesn't cover how inept their clodfooted work on the BCS has been.
Awful Announcing, which must live for moments like this:
This is so bad, I really don't even have words to describe it.
According to Fox announcer Thom Brennaman—and if you don't agree with him, you must be some kind of deranged lunatic—Tim Tebow just may be the finest human being to ever live on this planet or any other.
Etc, etc, etc. The presentation was such a disaster that a lot of people have been complaining about how bad the game was when, really, it wasn't too bad. Julio Iglesias was nearly decapitated, and there was a critical fourth-down stand and a couple of miraculous interceptions and all in all it was a tense, well-played football game but for the context.
At some point, being directed to interpret everything as history in the making has a downside. Now we expect the Greatest Game Ever Played between the Greatest Players Ever Assembled every time out. And when that's not happening—which it wasn't—no one backs off. They just lie to your face.
So, yeah, I'm tired of all hype. I'm tired of having the "national championship" game between two teams virtually indistinguishable from a half dozen others on a random Thursday night in January on a network that never shows college football. I'm tired of how stupid it all is.
And I think I'm detecting a seismic shift in opinion out there. Bowl defenders outside of newspaper columnists who love them some junket are few and far between—and frankly, I'd rather have Stewart Mandel on the other side of any argument I'm having, thanks very much. Every year some coach and some president gets screwed and converts to the church of playoff. Last year, weirdly, it was Georgia. This year, obviously, it's USC and Utah and Texas. At some point things have to change, because last night felt more like a farce than a championship.
*(60s television version, not unwise quarterback version.)
Hockey Game Postponed
Tebow must have raptured up some poor sap driving the Zamboni:
The University of Michigan ice hockey team's game against Miami University tonight (Friday, Jan. 9) has been postponed until Sunday (Jan. 11) at 4 p.m. Yost Ice Arena suffered weather-related damage during the recent snow and wind storms over the holidays.
Don't be there or be square.
Hello: Nader Furrha
I was going to let the enrollment of Ann Arbor Pioneer quarterback Nader Furrha, who's a preferred walk-on, go as just a sidebar link but then someone linked some video…
…and my friend who knows way more about local high school football than most people because he used to work for the Saline Reporter actually sent in a scouting report, so here you go, in the rich tradition of "hey, Eric Puls," and "hey, guy who's behind David Cone on the depth chart": hey, Nader Furrha.
The scouting report:
So I saw Furrha play three times against Saline the last couple of years and if any of you care what I think, I think it's not inconceivable he'll wind up contributing at Michigan.
He doesn't have a rocket for an arm and he doesn't have out-and-out sprinter speed, but his arm's definitely better than Sheridan's and he's a much, much better runner than either Sheridan or Threet. He's quick and slithery, really good in traffic, good at buying time in the pocket. His biggest problem is that he'd be a pocket QB only in the sense that he'd fit in your pocket: I had a laugh when I saw Scout had him listed at 6-1. I can't imagine he's any taller than 5-10, and he might be shorter than that. The first thing I thought when I saw him was "That dude's short," and I'm not even six feet.
It's too bad--his combination of legs and arm, if not spectacular, would be easily good enough to get him a D-I scholarship if he was 2-3 inches taller (he's also a little on the slight side at the moment, but Barwis should fix that). For whatever it's worth I can't possibly imagine him beating out a guru-approved dual-threat like Forcier, Threet's always going to be a thousand times better passer, and Feagin's the more explosive runner. But, if Forcier hurts himself and the coaches decide they're never going to let Feagin throw a pass, he might be a once-in-a-while change of pace from Threet as a kid who's a genuine threat to run but could also spring a SURPRISE throw further than 10 yards downfield. If Threet--who wasn't substantially more impressive than Furrha when I saw him in college, I didn't think--can become RichRod's starter, I would think a guy who more snugly fits the offense would have some kind of outside shot at at least seeing the field someday.
Much more likely, of course, is that he never earns a scholarship or makes the traveling 85.
And now I hope to never think about him again, no offense to the young man. It's just, well… you know.

IUI with Clomid and HCG Injection
So this past saturday we had an IUI. They started me on Clomid this cycle and also gave me an HCG Injection to induce ovulation.
On friday I had a ultrasound which showed that I had a good sized folicle on each side. I was extatic!!!
Then Saturday we showed up for our IUI and they told us my husbands spermcount was 14 million. Which was the highest count we have ever gotten ,and the mobility was a 4 out of 4 ... the scale is 1-4.
They did the IUI.. Which was almost painless... The cathiter kind of hurt my cervix, but I would go through with it no mater how painful

I called the dealership and talked to Steve Dauterive and told him where I was and that I was broke down. He told me to tow the vehicle to a local shop. I told him I was in Little Rock, AR, it was after hours and no shops were open. This would require me to stay from Saturday, to atleast Monday. I could not do that. He then told me to tow the vehicle home which was about 400 miles, and they would fix it and take care of the tow bill.
I towed the vehicle home and to a repair faciltiy. The diagnosis was that it needed new engine. I got a quote for a used motor and labor. After weeks of phone calls and trying to get them to agree to something, they decided that they were not going to pay the tow bill and will not pay for the motor that I found.

Green has come under intense recent scrutiny over the extent of former Rangers owner Craig Whyte's involvement when his group took control at Ibrox last year. The Rangers chief executive also apologised to his fellow directors at a board meeting over the interview which saw him receive a Scottish Football Association charge accusing him of using "racist and offensive language".
The club released a statement, which read: "The board has announced today it is to commission an independent examination and report in view of recent allegations in the media concerning the chief executive, Charles Green, the commercial director, Imran Ahmad, and their management of the club."
The statement continued: "The decision to commission the examination was taken unanimously by those in attendance at today's meeting including non-executive and executive directors.
"The independent report will be commissioned and completed as speedily as possible and presented directly to the non-executive directors of the company. The chief executive will not be involved in the conduct of the examination.
"The board wishes to make clear that is not prejudging any of the issues involved and that the object of this exercise is to clarify the situation to the satisfaction of shareholders, supporters, staff and board members.
"Instructions recently given to lawyers in England and Scotland with a view to taking legal action to challenge these recent allegations will form part of the independent examination."
Green has been forced on to the defensive in recent weeks following allegations by Whyte, which were accompanied by taped recordings between himself and both the Rangers chief executive and Ahmad.
Whyte claimed he was behind the new company which bought the assets and business of the club when they were consigned to liquidation following his failure to pay tax.
Green then denied he had ever been Whyte's "front man" and claimed he and Ahmad had told him what he wanted to hear because they needed his co-operation to acquire shares if the club had secured a Company Voluntary Arrangement.
