TORONTO -- Just like Roy Halladay the previous night, Jesse Litsch threw a complete game to beat the Kansas City Royals.
Making his 29th career start, Litsch pitched a seven-hitter for his first complete game, Brad Wilkerson hit a grand slam and the Toronto Blue Jays blanked Kansas City 6-0 on Saturday to extend the Royals' losing streak to a season-high six.
"It's good to be able to go out and finish one and get that first complete game under my belt," said Litsch, whose longest previous start was an 8 2/3 innings effort in his major league debut against Baltimore on May 15 last year.
The Blue Jays (26-25) moved back above .500 for the first time since they were 10-9 on April 20.
Litsch's effort came less than 24 hours after Halladay tossed his major league-leading fifth complete game in Toronto's 7-1 victory Friday.
The back-to-back complete games were Toronto's first since Chris Carpenter and Kelvim Escobar did it against the New York Yankees, April 21-22, 2000.
Litsch (6-1) struck out three, walked one and won his fourth straight decision. He extended his streak of innings without a walk to 38 2/3, three more than Jimmy Key's previous Toronto record in 1990. The streak ended with a base on balls to Mark Teahen with two outs in the ninth.
"I try to pound the zone every time I go out there," Litsch said. "The key to my game is pounding the zone, making contact and using my defense."
Litsch sawed off three bats with his cut fastball, and had to dive for cover when the barrel of Alex Gordon's bat came sailing back toward to mound in the fourth.
"He has good, late effective movement," Royals catcher John Buck said. "We're not the only team that's been having trouble with him."
Kansas City was shut out for the sixth time this season -- tied for second in the major leagues behind Detroit's seven. The Royals have lost seven of eight, including a no-hitter by Boston's Jon Lester on Monday.
"We did a very poor job of working the count," Royals manager Trey Hillman said. "Litsch is good. His numbers bear that out. He's been a solid pitcher."
Rookie Luke Hochevar (3-4), beaten by Lester in the no-hitter, lost back-to-back starts for the first time this season. Hochevar allowed five runs -- four earned -- six hits and four walks in six innings, and got no help from his offense in overcoming Wilkerson's first-inning slam.
"That was the game," Hochevar said. "When the wind gets taken out of our sails early on like that, that puts us in a hole and it's tough to come back out of it. I made a mistake and I paid for it."
Toronto's Lyle Overbay drove in a run with a bases-loaded walk in the seventh, tying Tony Fernandez's team record by reaching base in 11 consecutive plate appearances. Overbay has six hits, five walks and three RBI in the streak.
"I feel like I'm seeing the ball well," Overbay said. "I'm not expanding the zone too much."
Shannon Stewart led off the first with a single but was thrown out at the plate trying to score on Aaron Hill's double to left, with shortstop Tony Pena Jr. making the relay on David DeJesus' throw.
After Alex Rios struck out, Scott Rolen walked, Overbay reached on an infield single, and Wilkerson hit his second homer of the season, his fifth career grand slam.
"I got in a good hitter's count by being patient," Wilkerson said. "He gave me a good pitch, got it up over the middle of the plate. I tried not to do too much and drove the ball out."
With the bases loaded in the seventh, Wilkerson popped out to shortstop against Ramon Ramirez.
Rolen singled and scored on second baseman Mark Grudzielanek's fielding error in the sixth.
- Toronto OF Vernon Wells, who broke his left wrist making a diving catch in Cleveland on May 9, shagged fly balls before the game and will leave Monday for a rehab stint in Florida. Wells is expected back in late June or early July.
- Toronto DH Matt Stairs (stiff neck) missed his third straight game.
- With two more day games in the next two days, Hillman plans to rest Grudzielanek once in that span.
- Litsch's ninth-inning base on balls was his first since walking Tampa Bay's Nathan Hayes on April 22, his only defeat this season.
- Toronto is 11-1 in day games.

I think you mean mean Windows 8.1, Margaret. And the best way to do that is to just do the free upgrade to Windows 8.1. The upgrade won't take long and it doesn't overwrite any files. Windows 8.1 has many nice features and you also need to do the upgrade to make sure you can receive the latest security updates from Microsoft. You shouldn't notice much of a change between 8 and 8.1.

Commentary: Democratic Revolution?
New York, NY —On Thursday, President Bush delivered a major address calling for a democratic revolution in the Middle East and around the world. WNYC's Brian Lehrer listened to the speech in London, where he'll be co-hosting a global call-in about democracy this afternoon. Brian thought the speech was visionary, but not entirely believable.
The speech was visionary for the Big Idea the president was willing to embrace and the risk that might come from embracing it. We often spend so much time debating the imperfections of our own form of government that we neglect the big and obvious: that democracy is, of course, better for people than government by dictators, royal families and theocrats.
And President Bush was right to single out the Middle East as being particularly democracy-challenged. This was the boldest line in the speech:
BUSH "Sixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe because in the long run stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty."
The President is brave to admit that too often in the past, US policy has been to promote stability over democracy. This was done out of fear, because change brings uncertainty, which can threaten US interests, such as cheap Mideast oil. The President's speech on Thursday chose hope over fear, even though revolution - and the president used that word - can be a dangerous business indeed.
But right-minded as much of the speech may have been, it was probably not received as credible by much of the world. And for good historical reasons.
I happen to have heard the speech at the BBC in London, where I've been seeing e-mail reaction from around the world. From Australia to the West Bank, listeners are raising questions about the very checkered history of US foreign policy - which has stood for democracy in theory much more than in practice. What we've usually done is to support democracy where it suits American security and American prosperity, and ignore democracy or even thwart democracy elsewhere.
Most relevantly, President Reagan supported Saddam Hussein in his most brutal chemical weapons years, as a hedge against Iran, our bigger enemy at that time. Just last year, the Bush Administration supported the unsuccessful military coup in Venezuela, against a hostile but elected President, Hugo Chavez.
Even today, President Bush supports undemocratic governments that are seen as helping in the War on Terrorism, such as Pakistan and some regimes in Central Asia. It's no wonder the world suspects that our country only cares about democracy as a tool to prevent more 9/11s.
So bravo for the idealistic side of the new Bush Doctrine and his willingness to confront hard truths. But his truth was not the whole truth. And in the War on Terrorism, credibility is the most important weapon in the battle for hearts and minds.

Fast food powerhouse McDonald's Corp. (MCD) delivered surprisingly good sales numbers that helped lift both the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and S&P 500 Index (SPX) in Monday's trading. Mickey D's stock posted a 1% gain to $89.41 on the day, though it's still off about 12% for the year.
Here are five things you need to know about this bellwether stock:
1) Despite Monday's upbeat report, new McDonald's CEO Don Thompson, who arrived in July, hasn't convinced all Wall Street critics that the company is back on track after a sales slump earlier in the fall. In October, the company shocked investors when it reported its first global monthly sales decline in nine years. In contrast, same-store sales globally rose 2.4% in November, fueled by a 2.5% rise in U.S. same-store sales. But analysts and shareholders will want to see that momentum continue.
2) McDonald's also outperformed sales expectations overseas in Europe, Asia/Pacific, Middle East and African markets.
3) Thompson's renewed focus on McDonald's recession-friendly dollar menu – emphasizing less expensive menu items, breakfast offerings and beverages – paid off in the November results.
4) Even so, Thompson needs to nudge McDonald's research kitchen to come up with more innovative products to excite consumers, something that arch-rival Burger King (BKW) has been doing more aggressively this year with new offerings like snack wraps and gingerbread sundaes for the holiday season. McDonald's had nine limited-time or test items from June through September, while Burger King had 20 on its menu, Bloomberg recently reported. Driving sales with new products is a far better long-term strategy than discounting.
5) Still, McDonald's continues to enjoy tremendous advantages over competitors like Burger King and Yum Brands (YUM), particularly when you consider its real estate assets, argues David Saunders. Forget the hamburgers and consider the rental income the company gets from its franchisees, which make up roughly 85% of its 31,000 or so outlets worldwide. Saunders estimates that franchisee rent, fees and royalties kicked in nearly 68% of the company's adjusted EBITDA in 2011. "By far, the lion's share of McDonald's earnings is directly related to property," Saunders concludes.

Maybe you could just put an antivibration mat between the typewriter and the desk, that would help keep noise down.
Personally, I'd be super excited if I heard my neighbour using a typewriter. But I don't think most people would, haha. I try not to use mine too late at night, but that's more for my boyfriend's sake than anyone else's. My neighbour listens to loud music and so do I, there's sort of an unspoken agreement that no one complains. In fact, sometimes he comes over to borrow cds.
I think a note in the mail room is a good idea.
Putting a typewriter on a thick wad of newspapers really helps to cut down on noise too
I think your neighbor has a legitimate beef if you're pounding away on that thing at 3 AM. Is it an old manual typewriter? I've got one, and it sounds like a machine gun when it gets rolling.
Maybe you could replace your typewriter with a quieter model, like a Selectric. Or do your first drafts at 3 AM on a computer, and type your second drafts in the early evening.
OR, just ignore the pounding. You expect them to ignore YOUR noise, so what's the diff? Wait for the landlord to say something about it.
Yeah, a friend suggested a pillow [duh!], so I'm going to try that. What's an antivibration mat?
Stephanos said:Maybe you could just put an antivibration mat between the typewriter and the desk, that would help keep noise down.
I would be so tempted to leave a note for them saying something along the lines of, "I'm a writer! I do my best writing at night! Deal with it!" but I can't imagine that would go over too well. I'm living with my mom right now, and thankfully she doesn't mind me using my manual typewriter after she's gone to bed, but once I move out again, I'll have to learn how to use it more during the day than at night because I don't think my potential future roommates will appreciate the noise, unless they happen to be night-time typists too.
Glad to see there are some suggestions for cutting down on the noise factor, though.

CS 36T ladder replacement and engine question
Hello I am new to this forum and to sailing generally!
I'm thinking about purchasing a CS 36T.
How troublesome is it maintaining your engine? I read reports about how inaccessible the engine is. I'm in my 40's so I need to know if I should join a yoga class to get ready to change filters etc.
Also, does the step compainionway ladder pose any issues for anyone? Has anyone replaced them?
I really love this boat. I have looked at all the usual supects.
Thanks in advance for any replies. I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong place or incorrectly in any other way.
CS36T question
We have had a CS36T for the past three seasons and are quite pleased with it. The engine access is considered to be poor, however, once all the panels are removed, you can pretty much get at everything. The V-drive is just about bulletproof, as is the Westerbeke 30 (if it's properly maintained). The main drawbacks to the V-drive are that the engine is mounted in reverse (the drive belts are aft), the stuffing box is best reached with a flexible 10 year old, and, if repowering becomes necessary, your options are limited. I had some problems with cold starts and overheating, which was solved by rebuilding the injectors and disassembling and flushing out the heat exchanger. Both relatively easy tasks. Properly serviced, the engine will last forever. That said, parts, when required, are easily found, but hideously expensive.
Otherwise, the boat sails well, points high for a shoal draft, and is built like a tank. Some don't like the companionway steps (ladder!?), but the layout requires it. It is a great cruiser and well suited for long distance voyages, it can sail comfortably in almost any weather. We are a family of 5 (two teenagers) and have done two week holidays on two occasions on Lake Ontario with no casualties.
Hope that helps.
Be happy to give you more details.
The ladder is steep but you get used to it quickly. Engine access IMHO is EXCELLENT compared to many boats. The companionway removes and can be put in the galley then the port and starboard panels in the lazarettes can also be removed for access to the back side of the engine. This gives nearly 360 degree access. Our boat was re-powered with a Westerbeke 44B Four which fits nicely and only required a slight modification to the rear engine mounts which dropped them about an inch or two.
Port side access:
Starboard Access:
Front Access:
Thank you for the great answer and sharing the details. Really very useful information. I was very curious to hear about how awkward it really is from an owner perspective.
I also like the sailing information you provided. I think i may be going crazy because I find it all so fascinating. ;-). I very much enjoy looking at pictures of CS 36's to see how owners have arranged their interiors and also how they manage the sails and whether they have furlers etc.
I go on.
I wonder what the net difference is between the shoal draft and full keel models? I was looking at a CS Merlin with shoal wings online today. No pictures.
How long can you sail in lake Ontario before you have to haul her out?
Regardless thank you for the great info.
Maine Sail,
Holy smokes as they say! Thank you for the awesome pictures. Again so great to see. I think I will have to take a small engine reapir class at a community college to work effectively on boat engines.
The engine looks Bristol neat, I think they say that in the navy. On another CS owners site a fellow showed about 3 pics of him replacining his engine. A newer volvo I believe. I am also glad to hear from CraigDeb that the engines are so solid.
I love looking at the systems close up like this. I know I shoudn't ask and be info greedy but... What is the blue cannister thingy?
Thanks again,
54 Attachment(s)
Hey MaineSail,
Sorry, but it looks like you may have installed your engine backwards.:D :D
I take it that is a V-drive? Or?
How is it getting to the stuffing box?

It literally never stops shedding. We vacuum at least weekly, more often with guests, for two years, and it's still shedding handfuls. Other than that, it does hold up well to traffic, as with any whiter rug, it shows stains and they are hard to get out. The texture is really nice, and I'm pleased with the wear so far. But would not purchase again.Read More
I would only recommend this to someone who wants a grey-lavender cast.. I actually called Overstock and asked about the threads mingled with the white because two reviews differed from one another....one said taupe and one lavender. I was transferred to the warehouse and the guy put me on hold for a long time. He said he would go and look at the rug. I wonder if he really did, cause this was packed pretty well and I wonder if they have a rug out so the warehouse people can see it. Anyway, he came back and said it was taupe. I was thrilled, so ordered it. I made the mistake of telling him I wanted a beige-taupe shadow and not a grey or lavender. Well, it is lavender...no doubt about it. I would have sent it back, but it is SO LARGE AND HEAVY, I thought it would cost me a fortune to pay for the shipping, and I would have nothing. So I kept it hoping no one else would notice that it does not go with anything in my living room. It is predominantly off-white, so it has not been as bad as I thought. Still, if you don't like lavender, do not buy it.Read More
I love this rug. But it doesn't look like the pictures. THe pattern is raised and very apparent in real life, the photos do not do it justice. It is more tan/cream than gray. Fair warning, it SHEDS, a lot. That is why I didn't give it 5 stars. And I think the reason this rug is on sale is because it does have a few imperfections, there are some random stray threads in ours. Overall though, it's a great rug. Good quality and when you buy a cream/light colored rug I don't expect it to last forever. It's perfect the price and what we were looking for.Read More
This is a fabulous rug for the price. I am very pleased with the color and the feel of walking barefoot on the rug. It is true to size.Read More
This is a nice rug, but it is not grey as it describes or appears in the photo. It is beige/cream.Read More
great, colors are what l need . it's hard to find solid color and looks very expensive. soft feeling ,looks great on black leather sofaRead More
I thank the reviewer of this rug before me, the decorator who gave a long product description. It was very helpful especially regarding the actual color. We like the rug but if you have animals, especially big retrievers with claws who like to roll around and scratch their back (still a puppy, just 5 months), be forewarned that they will make pulls in the rug. I hope it will hold up. We're hoping that this dog calms down a little but he definitely likes this rug a lot. :) Our home decorating style is on the rustic end of the scale so we're kind of okay with this. We've only had it a short while so I can't say what will happen with dirt showing (it's ivory after all) but it's wool, which should be easier to clean. Bottom line: a few hiccups in the purchase but we really like it. And delivery was amazingly fast!Read More
As a designer, I know how difficult it is to purchase a rug online...it's not easy to get a good visual of something so large and it's not easy to send it back if it doesn't work. That is why I wanted to share more information on this product to potential buyers. It was originally sold on a very exclusive, high end home decor website (can't say the name but it begins with an H) so when I found it here on Overstock, I knew it was top quality. When it arrived, it did not disappoint...the FedEx delivery man even commented that it must be a nice rug because it was so heavy. It is definitely the thickest rug I've ever purchased, very cushiony and soft to walk on. I was a little surprised to find that the striations in the pattern were really more of a soft purple than gray. It looks very ivory and gray on the website...very neutral but please note that there is more color in this rug than shown. It is still beautiful and somewhat subtle but I would call it more of a lavender ash than gray. I think the color will vary a bit depending on your lighting and the distance you are from the rug. From far away, it does look gray. Up close under brighter halogen lights, it is definitely lavender. Fortunately, I was already contemplating using purple undertones in the room where it is going so it will work for me but be careful if you are expecting a rug with true gray. Let me also offer a warning on the care of this rug (I wish rugs would come with proper care instructions - I have learned the hard way)...I would suggest vacuuming this rug without the brush bar like you would a hardwood floor. This rug does have a cut and loop pile used to achieve the carved out effect of the animal pattern and if irritated, the threads could pull. Once this happens, the only solution is to cut the loose threads with scissors and I think that damages the rug. Quite honestly, I sometimes just sweep my finer rugs with a broom (like the old days before vacuum cleaners!). Also, I would recommend spot cleaning with a rug dry cleaning kit. These are available now at the big box stores (look in the rug section), very inexpensive and much safer for ALL rugs than the typical chemical carpet cleaners out there. I hope you find this info useful and enjoy your beautiful new rug!Read More

How To Tell The Difference Between Organic vs Natural and What's Clean
The latest issue of Natural Foods Merchandiser magazine has a very informative article by Jane Hoback on the difference between Organic vs. Natural.
Although this is a trade publication, the article has some useful information to help guide you through what manufacturers are doing and how to tell if a brand is trying to provide the right kind of education for consumers.
We know there is a lot of confusion on the topic of organic versus natural not to mention all the other trendy terms such as local, fresh, sustainable, safe, green, quality or no additives. It can get frustrating and confusing real fast.
The article goes on to recommend 4 ways to focus on getting back to the basics — education. And this is why Plantlife will continue to provide useful information you can use to help you cut through the noise and get to the information you need.
After all, we've been doing this since 1994!
In addition, the article mentioned a study conducted by The Hartman Group, "Beyond Organic and Natural" which we thought has some good basic definition of what Organic, Natural and Clean means, here is an excerpt from the executive summary:
While the organic market can be characterized as mature (bordering on the brink of becoming a commodity), the vast sea of products regularly launched and marketed under the mantle of "natural" seems to ebb and flow uninterrupted despite the fact that consumers often perceive the term "natural" simply as a marketing ploy. And yet, what seems to keep the term "natural" alive, is that it fulfills certain symbolic ideals.
In fact, both organic and natural are seen as complementary attributes by consumers all the way from the Periphery (least intensely involved in the World of Organics) to the Core (more intensely involved). Specifically:
- Organic is understood as pertaining to what happens to food at it's origin (e.g., the farm, the plant, the animal). Conceptually, consumers think of organic as making a product "more natural." As organic becomes more mainstream it loses some meaning for consumers making additional attributes increasingly necessary. Price is the key barrier to purchasing organic; other barriers are declining.
- Natural as a consumer ideal is understood as what happens to the food after it is grown (e.g., reducing processing steps). However, skepticism around natural as a marketing term is prevalent throughout the World of Organic, even in the Periphery. Consumers see "natural" as a marketing term, meaningless alone, which may encourage them to investigate the product more, but is not enough by itself. When products labeled natural and/or organic are clearly not healthy (e.g., high in fat, sugar or sodium and low in nutrients) consumer skepticism grows.
- Clean goes beyond organic and natural: Consumers are continually redefining quality. While natural and organic are still sought by consumers as positive attributes, as natural and organic become more and more diluted in meaning, consumers are seeking more specific information regarding the foods and beverages they buy. The notion of "clean" encompasses a wide variety of attributes that communicate quality to consumers including farming, production, processing and ingredients. To consumers clean has both symbolic associations (fresh, safe, local, healthy) and objective associations (less processed, no chemicals, nothing artificial).

Summary: Blaine Anderson is the easy going skateboarding slacker who's carried a torch for sheltered class Valedictorian Kurt Hummel for the last year. On the day they graduate from high school, he decides to do something about it. There's no way they should work. Everything will conspire against them. Can this unlikely pairing prevail?
Additional Notes: gameboycolor and naderegen wanted 90's Klaine. I suggested updating Cameron Crowe's iconic movie "Say Anything" to 1998 and making Blaine and Kurt into an analogue of Lloyd and Diane's star-crossed romance. This very loose adaptation, for better or for worse, is the result. Title is from the song "All I Want" by Toad the Wet Sprocket.
"You are so screwed."
Quinn's declaration was accompanied by a dry chuckle that did nothing for Blaine's twitching nerves. "Very encouraging, Quinn. Nice work. Great way to cheer me on. I love you, too."
"I'm just saying, he made your second date a family dinner." The amusement on her voice didn't abate, and Blaine glared at the phone receiver as if she could feel his irritation. "Not really your forté."
"You do that nervous talking thing," Jeff added distractedly, the beeps of his video game coming through the phone line loud and clear. "My recommendation is to not do that."
Tina, at least, was somewhat more sympathetic. "What's wrong with Kurt? He's not usually this mean, throwing Blaine into a tense situation like that. I really thought better of him."
"Okay, you guys? Not helping." Blaine picked up a green button-down and examined it before tossing it aside in disgust. He paced the living room in agitation. "I am now officially more nervous than I was twenty minutes ago."
"You're the one who wanted to do a conference call," Quinn reminded him, exhaling a mouthful of cigarette smoke directly into her mouthpiece.
"Yeah, because I wanted you to be nice and tell me it's going to be fine! Not because I wanted you to point out my shortcomings!" He threw himself down on the couch. "I wanted a date date. Just the two of us. This is not ideal."
"He did say he was going to fit you into his schedule as best he could," Jeff reminded him. "This was probably his only chance. You should be happy he took it, Blaine."
"And didn't you say his dad liked you?" Ever the optimist, Tina was trying to find silver linings for him. "That's really good! My dad doesn't like Mike at all. You're lucky."
"Yeah, his dad likes me, but I don't want a date with his dad," Blaine grumbled, finally flopping down on top of the pile of his clothing he'd strewn over the couch. "I want a date with Kurt. One without drama, alcohol, other people."
He could just about hear Quinn's eyes rolling. "Honestly, you kind of should have thought of that before you made the first date a party. Let alone a party at Puck's. That was your own damn fault...not that I'm not grateful you were there when things went wrong," she added hastily.
"Clearly." He rubbed at his temples, where a headache was just starting to set in. "Maybe this is revenge for that. Maybe he doesn't actually like me. Maybe he's just placating me and hoping I'll lose interest."
"Let's take a poll," Quinn suggested, her patience with his fretting obviously gone. "If you were Kurt, would you honestly like Blaine?" Her tone was serious. "Answer carefully."
Blaine sat up on the couch. "Hey, wait, I don't like this game," he protested, only to be shushed by Quinn.
Jeff answered first after a long silence, even pausing his video game to do so. "If I were into guys," he replied slowly, "Then yeah, I probably would like Blaine."
Tina concurred with enthusiasm. "Yeah, of course I would."
That left only Quinn. "Yes," she answered, no doubt or question at all. "Absolutely."
Blaine was stunned stupid, sitting frozen with his fingers fisted into his own hair. "What?"
"You heard us, we're not repeating it," Quinn sighed, a smile in her voice. "Now get your ass dressed and over to Kurt's house and be awesome."
"I could wear this," Kurt mused, holding a charcoal jacket with white lapels up before himself, eyes fixed on his reflection in the mirror. "Or I can go a little more casual." He draped the jacket over a nearby chair and picked up the other garment resting there, a soft royal blue cardigan that Blaine privately wanted to pet for hours – preferably while it was on Kurt.
"I think you'd look fantastic in either one," he replied honestly. He'd opted for a blue Oxford over jeans and his one pair of decent leather dress shoes. Despite being fairly certain he looked perfectly fine – his sister had been very approving, which was definitely not always or even often the case – Kurt was making him feel underdressed. "Are you sure I don't need to go home and change?"
"Not at all," Kurt assured him, moving to sit on the bed. "I told you, it's just my dad's sister Sarah and her boyfriend James. And of course me and my dad." He toyed with a fold of the furry blanket that was draped across the bed. "I know it wasn't what you had in mind for a second date. I'm sorry."
Blaine felt a little guilty over his temper tantrum earlier. "I'm just glad you wanted to see me at all," he mumbled, glancing down at Kurt's hands. This proved to be a tactical error, however, as he then found himself fascinated by said hands and all the things that hands could do. Swallowing, he glanced back up at Kurt's face, which looked worried. "No, seriously, I know you said you were going to be busy, so it's great that we get this chance. Although...won't your aunt mind that there's a guest?"
"Aunt Sarah?" Kurt laughed lightly and shook his head. "No. She'll actually be thrilled. She's been asking me when I'll find a 'nice young man to bring home'." At Blaine's blush, he smirked. "And James is really nice. They're like...Julia Roberts and Bill Cosby."
"Sorry?" Blaine tried to imagine this and failed completely. "Does not compute."
"Well, she's this freespirited hippie artist, and he's a PhD in child psychology. They met at a seminar on the benefits of art therapy." He patted Blaine's hand before scooting off of the bed and into his closet to finish dressing. "I think you'll like them. They'll like you."
"If you say so." Blaine got up and prowled the room, running his fingers over the spines of the books in the shelves that lined the walls. He was unsurprised to see a large number of bound scripts for plays and musicals – Angel Street, Guys and Dolls, West Side Story, Tartuffe. Several collections of short stories were scattered here and there, including a copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales that matched one he'd bought for Quinn last fall. And then there was an absolutely lethally enormous volume of Shakespeare's plays that was too tall to fit in the shelves and had been laid out on an end table. He tried to pick it up with one hand, nearly spraining his wrist. "Kurt, this is the biggest book I've ever seen."
"The Shakespeare?" Kurt's muffled voice as it wafted from the closet was amused. "My dad gave me that for Christmas when I was nine. I'd just told him I wanted to be on stage for a living, and he didn't really know what else to get." He bustled out, clad in tight jeans and the pettable cardigan. "If my mother had still been alive, she might have steered him to something a little more...portable." Running his fingertips over the soft calfskin cover, his voice grew more wistful. "But she'd only been gone a few months. Right before my ninth birthday. He was still trying to figure out how to get through each day."
"It's just been the two of you for that long?" Blaine felt the urge to try and hug the sadness away, but held back, unsure if it would be appropriate. "You were so young."
With a light shrug, Kurt slid the book back into its place. "We've made it work," he murmured, a distant smile crossing his face. "A few too many burned chicken dinners, some laundry turned pink from a stray red sock, days when I had to just sit quietly and let him pull himself together...but we got through it." His smile grew brighter as he turned to face Blaine. "He was a good dad before, but I think the adversity made him a really great one. Maybe the best. I would never be who I am without his support."
"You're lucky. So lucky." Blaine reached out, spontaneously catching Kurt's warm, smooth hand up in his, squeezing just a little. The unexpected contact hushed them both into silence, staring at their joined hands in something akin to curiosity and wonder. Kurt let his thumb run over the back of Blaine's hand in a gentle, intimate motion that sent shivers up his spine.
Too soon, Kurt disengaged, but slowly, as if he didn't quite want to. "We'd better get downstairs," he breathed, a warm tint in his cheeks. "Sarah and James will be here any minute, and I have a few more things to do with dinner." He leaned down to whisper in Blaine's ear. "Next time, though, it really will be just you and me."
With that promise, he smiled and headed downstairs, Blaine following behind as soon as he'd managed to compose himself.
True to Kurt's word, the dinner was good and the company excellent. James and Sarah were entertaining, intelligent people who'd been together so long they could communicate almost without speaking at all. They were fascinating to watch.
Just as fascinating were Kurt and his father, who had run the dinner with a similar ease, moving from kitchen to dining room with delicious smelling dishes of chicken in puff pastry and a large, colorful salad with homemade dressing. Blaine leaned over to Kurt after tasting the latter. "Did you make all of this?"
"He sure did," Burt interjected before Kurt could answer, a proud smile on his face. "Took over cooking when it turned out my skills were stuck on microwaving leftovers. I did the vegetables for the salad, but that's about it."
Blaine shook his head, astonished. "But how did you find the time?" he asked. "Learning to cook like this must have taken forever, and you already do everything in the world. Seriously, Kurt, how?"
"Trial and error," Kurt shrugged, a wry smile on his face. "And no social life, that helped."
"And you're brilliant," Burt insisted, chuckling when Kurt ducked his head in embarrassment. "Nah, come on! I get to say these things, I'm your dad. Not that you'd ever know it." He winked around the table. "If I didn't know better, I'd say Lizzie and the postman had somethin' they needed to confess to me."
"Shush, Burt, you're embarrassing the boy. And in front of his date." Sarah meant well, but now she had both boys turning red and looking anywhere but at each other. She picked her napkin up off of her lap and dabbed at her lips before beaming at her nephew and changing the subject. "Kurt, honey, what airline are you going to be flying to England?"
"British Airways," Kurt answered politely, fidgeting with his fork. "I'm expecting the ticket and itinerary to arrive within the next month."
Burt winked at his son. "And we're not gonna have a repeat of your last flight disaster, right, kiddo?" He reached over and gently shoved at Kurt's arm while the boy suddenly looked as if he wished himself to be anywhere but where he was at that moment.
Blaine hated to add to Kurt's obvious misery, but he was deadly curious about what had happened on that flight. Fortunately, James was able to save him from inciting Kurt's ire by asking the question himself. "What happened last time?"
"Sarah never told you? Wow." Burt was chuckling as he put his knife and fork aside, preparing to tell the story. "He was about...what would you say, Kurt? Six? Seven? Before Lizzie got real sick, anyway. I won a trip to Disneyworld for being one of the top new small businesses in the state. Park tickets, hotel, plane fare, the works."
Kurt was almost whimpering at the recounting of the tale. "This is awful," he moaned, burying his bright pink face in his napkin. "I was six."
"Yeah, woulda been funnier if you'd been sixteen. Too bad. Now hush." Burt waved a finger at his son and continued. "Anyway, he was afraid of planes. And Lizzie had been reading him bedtime stories about airplanes for a couple of weeks, and I'd been tellin' him all the cool stuff I knew about them, so we were hoping he'd be okay when we had to take the trip."
"And I wasn't," Kurt confessed, emerging from the makeshift shelter of his linen serviette. "I'd seen stuff about plane crashes in books, or the newspaper, or even on TV. I couldn't shake it."
Burt picked up the story again. "So we get on the plane, Kurt's clingin' to Lizzie like a little monkey while she reads to him, and I got a bag of snacks and toys so I can bribe him into behaving. It would've worked if all the babies on the plane hadn't started crying at once when we started to taxi out."
Kurt sat up straighter and tilted his chin into the air defiantly. "I thought they knew something I didn't. Like animals, when there's an earthquake coming." He caught Blaine's sympathetic gaze and flushed a little. "It made sense at the time."
"Well, we couldn't calm him down for love or money then," Burt went on, leaning back to drape his arm over the back of his chair. "His screamin' was pissin' off everyone he wasn't scaring to death, and he was starting to choke on it." He spread his hands out in a shrug. "All I could do was ask the stewardess to get the pilot to turn the plane around."
"Which he did." Kurt propped his head up on his hand, appearing to recover from his embarrassment a little. "He was happy to do so if it stopped the hysterics. So back to the gate we went, and we disembarked, and now I can never fly United again."
Blaine nudged him under the table with his knee. "Yeah, but the important question is: did you get to go to Disneyworld?"
"We did, actually. Dad took us straight to the Amtrak station and we went by train." Kurt grinned at his father, eyes now fully twinkling. "A vast improvement."
"I'm pretty sure that was the trip that got Kurt bit with the acting bug, too." Burt was chuckling again. "You wanna tell 'em this part, kid?"
"Oh, my God, that's right! How could I have forgotten?" He turned to Blaine, hands dancing to animate his speech. "There was a man on the plane who worked for an advertising agency that had King's Island as a client. They were filming new commercials for the park, and he liked my scream. So he tracked us down! From Dad's t-shirt of all things."
Burt nodded. "I was in a shop shirt," he explained. "He remembered the name."
"So we come home to a message on the answering machine from this guy who wants to record me screaming." Kurt stuck his tongue into his cheek and smirked. "We go in, I scream, we get a little money, and my scream was on the air for years. I was the high pitched scream you heard when they showed The Racer."
"That was you?" Blaine's eyes felt like they were going to pop out of his head. "Jesus! That scream was bloodcurdling, I was terrified of roller coasters for years because of you, Kurt!"
Kurt leaned over and jostled his shoulder playfully. "Sorry."
"Burt trots that out at all the family reunions," Sarah informed them, smiling indulgently at her nephew. "It's always a hit. Blaine?"
He looked over at Kurt's aunt, blinking in surprise. "Yes?"
"Your turn." Her eyes were alight with curiosity. "Why don't you tell us something about you? Kurt's my nephew, I know everything about him. So...what about you?"
"Er, um, well," Blaine stalled, unsure what to say. Next to Kurt, what was there about himself that was interesting at all? Nothing he could think of. "What would you like to know?"
"You graduated from McKinley, right?" James' voice was low and his expression friendly, so Blaine nodded without even thinking about it. "Well, what are your plans now?"
Not the future question again, Blaine groaned to himself. "Right now? To spend as much time as possible with Kurt."
Everyone laughed, but James shook his head, persisting. "No, I mean in the future. Are you going to college?"
"Oh, James, relax. This isn't what I meant when I asked Blaine to tell us about himself." Sarah swatted at her boyfriend's arm, beaming Blaine the infectious smile that all the Hummels shared. "Ignore him, Blaine, he's a therapist, he can't help it. He likes putting people in little boxes."
"I do not!" James protested. "I'm curious! After all, Kurt knows what he wants to do, I just want to know if his boyfriend does."
"Oh, I'm not his boyfriend," Blaine blurted.
Kurt hurried to explain. "This is just our second date."
James eyed them both speculatively. "I'm going to leave examining that for another time," he announced, a sly twinkle in his eyes. "Blaine?"
Blaine gave in, cursing his innate need to please people. "I don't know," he admitted. "I haven't decided yet. Right now, I work in Mr. Motta's skate shop. I like it, I'm good at it. But I don't want to ratchet skateboard wheels for the rest of my life."
"Go on," James invited, leaning back in his chair and steepling his fingers in front of his chin. Sarah rolled her eyes at him, but had clearly decided she couldn't help Blaine any more than she had – she must have been accustomed to James' obvious stubborn streak. With an apologetic smile, she scooted her chair back and started clearing the table with Burt. Kurt reached under it and squeezed Blaine's hand, offering a smile of his own.
"My dad wants me to join the military, like him," Blaine continued, letting his thumb glide over Kurt's hand as Kurt's had over his earlier. "But I'm really not down for that. It's not a good fit. There's skateboarding, and I'm actively working on that, but how many years can I last on the pro circuit before broken bones and arthritis do me in? Then what, do I open my own skate shop? I'm not really feeling that either."
"It doesn't sound like you have much direction," James observed in a mild tone. Blaine saw Kurt's mouth drop open and his face flush with anger. Squeezing the other boy's hand again, he shoved the irritation he felt deep down and thought carefully about his reply.
"That's...probably true," he started, searching for the right words. "I prefer to think that I'm operating on a process of elimination. If I discard everything I don't want to do, then maybe eventually I'll end up with something I do want to do." He took a long, deep breath. "So right now, I have a pretty good start on what I don't want to do: I don't want to take orders from people, I don't want to order people to do things, I don't want to take people's orders for things they want to buy. Orders, basically, are a no." He lifted his chin, feeling more confident as he went on. "That still leaves me with a world of possibility. Right now, the possibilities I like best are skateboarding and spending time with Kurt, so I'm pretty much going to go with those and choose something more permanent when I'm ready."
James was still keeping a steady gaze on him. "That's a lot of uncertainty."
"Life's uncertain. The only thing I know for sure is that my life is mine, so I'm the one who gets to call the shots." Blaine smiled politely and concentrated on not squeezing Kurt's hand off in anger. He wanted to be able to hold that hand a lot more this summer, and it would be easier to do that if he didn't break it on their second date.
They were both surprised when James threw back his head and laughed. "I really couldn't ask for a better answer," he informed them, still chuckling. "Good for you, Blaine. I like your honesty. You're pretty self-aware for your age."
"Military brat," Blaine shrugged, still a little wary and annoyed that he'd basically just been psychoanalyzed. "You move around too much to get to know other people, so..." He let his sentence fade out, wanting to be done with this conversation. Kurt picked up on it and got to his feet, tugging Blaine up with him.
"We're going for a walk," he informed his aunt's boyfriend, who just nodded at them, understanding. Kurt pulled him through the kitchen, letting Sarah and Burt know the same thing before leading Blaine out of the kitchen door and down to the sidewalk. "I'm so sorry, Blaine. I forgot he does that."
"He meant well," Blaine mumbled, shoving his hands into his pockets and keeping his eyes firmly directed at the ground. "He's a therapist, it's what they do, right?"
"Now it's my turn to ask you what's the matter," was Kurt's response as he reached over to pull Blaine's hand free, clasping it as he had the morning after their first date. "You're so confident most of the time."
He cast a sidelong glance at Kurt's curious face, feeling his mouth curl into a half-smile. "Are you psychoanalyzing me now?"
"No, I'm getting to know you." Kurt set their hands to swinging between them and made a silly face at Blaine. "Seems like the sort of thing to do on a second date."
Blaine tilted his head all the way back and sighed. "My dad's in the military. You know that. It comes with the burden of living up to some pretty high expectations." At feeling Kurt press his hand reassuringly, he breathed a little easier. "I grew up wanting to really please everyone all of the time. Good grades, well behaved – everything my dad wanted. And then..." He puffed out a sigh. "Then I came out."
"I'll assume that wasn't really something your dad wanted." The tone of Kurt's guess was dry, and Blaine nodded.
"To say the least. We fought about it for a long time. It never got abusive or anything, but...I mean, I felt his disappointment. He made sure of that. It was the first time I'd disappointed anyone." He shook his head, feeling like he was trying to dislodge the unpleasant memory from where it was clogged up in his brain.
"I'm sorry," Kurt said again, drawing a little closer to twine his arm through Blaine's as they walked. "I can't imagine...my dad's always been supportive. That's what you meant when you said I was lucky, isn't it?"
"Yeah." He scuffed his feet along the sidewalk, kicking up acorns and buckeyes that had fallen to the ground. "I finally got around to deciding I'd be way happier if I just did my own thing, and I am. I just can't shake the fear of disappointing people."
"Hence the confident façade."
"It's not a façade," Blaine objected. "I am confident most of the time. I'm just...also really conscious of the possibility of disappointing other people. I hate questions like that about my future because I feel like I'm disappointing them, even though in the end it's no one's business but mine what I do and when I decide to do it." He sighed again. "It's hard to get contradicting attitudes to work together."
"Well. You don't disappoint me." Kurt leaned in and nudged at his shoulder, a hopeful smile on his face. "I like you, Blaine. Contradictions and all." They walked in companionable silence for a while, Blaine unable to wipe a happy new grin off of his face. Kurt spoke up again. "So if you moved around a lot, it must have been difficult for you and Quinn to stay friends."
"Ah. That's actually a good story. I was born here, I think you knew that." He saw Kurt nod out of the corner of his eye. "Well, my dad didn't enlist until I was about eight, so Quinn and I were in elementary school together. Our parents were friends, like from high school, I think. They exchanged letters a lot. Quinn and I wrote letters, too – they made us do it for a while, but then we started doing it because we liked to keep in touch." He smiled at this, a good memory. "I still have a lot of them, actually, but don't tell her. She'd kill me." They both laughed. "Then when I was 12, we got stationed at Wright Patterson. That was close enough for our parents to visit with each other sometimes, and Quinn and I reconnected."
"How did you end up at McKinley, then? Wright Patterson's over an hour away." Kurt's curious tone made it clear he'd never heard the story. Not really a big surprise; he'd trust Quinn to keep secrets behind her teeth under the most vile of tortures. Blaine turned in on himself, knowing his face was going closed off. "Okay, you don't have to answer."
"Um, no, it's fine..." He took a deep breath, facing the memories head on in vivid, gory detail. "I got bullied. Military brats...they're a nastier breed of kid sometimes. And you know how the military feels about homosexuality."
"You knew then?" Kurt sounded amazed at this. "I guess I knew pretty young too. Never mind."
"Kind of. Yes. I didn't really acknowledge it because I wasn't sure how to deal with it." He reminded himself to keep breathing, keep talking, keep calm. "But you know kids, if they sense a weakness, they're on you like hyenas and blood. They decided I was gay before I could figure it out myself, and they didn't like it, and they made my life hell." Blaine swallowed back panic at remembering it all, the horrible notes, the insults Sharpied across his locker. "At the end of the school year my 8th grade year, I was beaten up really badly and shoved into a locker in the school gym. No one found me for hours." His shoulders ached from phantom bruises and muscle tears that had healed long ago. "My parents were horrified to discover the extent of the bullying. I'd always made like everything was fine, see."
"Blaine, that's horrible." Kurt stopped them and pulled his arm away, grabbing Blaine and turning so that they faced each other. Sadness swam in his blue eyes. "Why didn't you tell anyone?"
"Because it would have disappointed my father that I hadn't made friends." At Kurt's distressed gasp of realization, Blaine let a faint smile cross his face before dropping his head down. "I wouldn't tell them that I had figured out I was gay for a little while longer yet, so they just figured the kids had a personal vendetta against me. And then they arranged for me to stay with the Fabrays my freshman year so that I could start at a new high school, completely fresh, but with at least one friend already in place."
"God, Blaine, I can't..." Kurt tucked his hands under his arms and was shivering slightly. "How did you fly under the...er...gaydar, then? At McKinley?"
"Quinn." Blaine shrugged. "She was the first person I told about maybe being gay. And the only one, for a long time. My freshman year, we...we didn't go around saying she was my girlfriend, but we didn't say she wasn't, either."
"But then you left?"
"Then I left," he confirmed, nodding. "She got tangled up with the mess with Finn and Rachel. And I came to terms with myself in England, came out to my parents, and came home not really wanting to hide anymore. Between my mad skateboarding skills," He stuck out his tongue and wiggled his eyebrows, making Kurt laugh. God, he liked Kurt's laugh. "and no one wanting to cross Quinn, plus a couple of incidents where no one I could prove I was in the locker room when pepper spray somehow got on a bunch of jock straps...well. My senior year went pretty well, in the end." He winked. "What about you?"
"Oh, I got my fair share of crap freshman year, too." Kurt stuffed his hands into his pockets as they started to walk again. "But sophomore year I joined Glee, and so did a bunch of football players, so I had some guys who were semi-friends always around like bodyguards." He heaved an airy sigh. "Junior year, I guess it became pretty clear to everyone that I was going to be Valedictorian, and no one wanted to make headlines for being the the guy who beats up the gay honors student with the bright future. So they mostly left me alone." Chewing on his lip for a moment, he clarified. "Mostly. Mutters, whispers, rumors, notes and things. Nothing I couldn't ignore. I didn't have close friends, but I didn't have any outright enemies, either. That was something."
Blaine reached out and looped his arm back through Kurt's. "I wish I'd gotten the courage to talk to you sooner, then."
"Why?" Kurt tilted his head and smiled in curiosity.
"No one deserves to go through high school alone. I don't know what I would have done without Jeff and Quinn this year." Blaine swallowed back a lump of gratitude as he thought about it. "They've been amazing. And my sister, too."
"Well, and I had my dad," Kurt pointed out. "Plus I was kept so busy, it was kind of okay to not have much of a social life."
"Still. I don't know. You're a stronger person than I am." Blaine smiled. "It's really admirable."
"Oh, stop." Kurt shook his head, a shy smile on face as he refused to meet Blaine's eyes. "I just...I'm not...honestly, sometimes I wonder just how high the pedestal you put me on is. I'm just me, Blaine."
"And I like you, Kurt. So I get to say nice things about you. Which in your case happen to be true." Blaine ducked his head, trying to catch Kurt's evasive gaze. "I'll change the subject if it makes you feel better. Third date? I believe you promised me an exclusive audience this time."
"You mean my family hasn't scared you to death? Damn, I'll have to think of something else to drive you away." But Kurt's voice was bright with teasing, and when he tightened his arm around Blaine's, the extra contact nearly made Blaine trip over his own feet. "Oh, God, Blaine. I don't know. I just don't. The pile of things to do is just getting bigger and bigger and bigger but I really do want to spend time with you so much. God, why do we have to sleep? And eat? Do you know how much time I could spend with you if I didn't have to sleep or eat? And don't get me started on..."
As they came around the corner onto the street the Hummels' house was on, Kurt was so absorbed in ranting about how everything took up all the time in the day that it was Blaine who first noticed that something was terribly wrong. He grabbed at Kurt's arm. "I'll take a raincheck," he blurted.
Kurt looked up, confused. "What? Blaine? Why did you..." He trailed off into nothing when he realized they were staring at an ambulance, lights flashing as paramedics loaded an unconscious Burt Hummel into the back of it. Sarah and James were clutching at each other in the driveway, in a position that Kurt unconsciously duplicated when he reached out and pulled Blaine to him, holding close like he was hanging on to a piece of driftwood that was the only thing keeping him from drowning.

The LAPD and FBI are still on the hunt for former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner. Dorner is a suspect in three murders that took place last week. His Nissan Titan was found, burned to a crisp, near Big Bear Lake on Thursday. The search has continued on through the weekend.
Los Angeles Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, said this would not be tolerated anymore. He said they would not tolerate this man to still be at large, threatening the people of the city of Los Angeles. A $1 million reward was posted, on Sunday, in an effort to help escalate efforts towards Dorner's capture. The money was raised by local businesses, private donors, and community groups. It is the largest reward ever offered by the LAPD.
Dorner stands at 6 feet tall, weighs 270 pounds, and is a former Marine. He was fired from the LAPD force in, 2009, after he brought allegations against a fellow officer, saying he kicked a mentally ill man in 2007, for no reason. An investigation followed and Dorner was fired when the investigators said these were false accusations.
Dorner wrote a manifesto before the killings started. In the manifesto, there were accusations of corruption and racism, saying that these were key factors in his firing. He stated that the killings of LAPD officers and their families would continue until his name was cleared. LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said that this was a case of domestic terrorism. The LAPD however is currently investigating Dorner's firing and the accusations he made back in 2007.
The LAPD is currently guarding 50 families from attacks as many had been named in the manifesto. Border patrol has been searching every car that crosses through the Mexican border as Dorner's ID and personal belongs were found right near the border into Mexico. Monica Quan was one of the victims that was k!lled. Her father said that someone identifying themselves as Dorner called him and taunted him, however they do not believe it was Dorner as the call was made from Vancouver, Washington and didn't fit with sightings of Dorner.

I posted this under the wastegate valve adjusting thread and didnt really get any answers. Here is my problem... I've had low boost since I got the car about 4 months ago. I get around 10 or 11psi. No check engine light or anything. I installed a new VIVA CBV, TCV, and replaced all the vacuum lines. I am certain they are routed correctly and have no leaks. I recently purchased an IPD wastegate adjustment tool and tried to set my wastegate. They say it should begin to move at around 4.2psi and setting it around 6 is still acceptable. Even with the wastegate linkage disconnected from the actuator rod it takes almost 8psi just to get it moving. And of course, to set it that that pressure means I can barely screw the linkage to the actuator rod. I checked to make sure I had no leaks with my wastegate tool. Is my wastegate bad and thats been the low boost problem all along?
I'm sorry if I offended anyone by making a new thread. I did search through other postings and couldnt find a problem like mine. I'm new to forums and not all that savvy about forum ettiquette.

2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S Debuts at 2013 Detroit Auto Show
It's hard for a Porsche to go by unnoticed, but the German car maker quietly debuted the 2014 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
With little to no fanfare, the 550-hp Porsche Cayenne Turbo S sits on the show-room floor, with its V8 bi-turbo engine ready to make some noise at the turn of a key.
Thanks to an active all-wheel drive system and a smooth 8-speed transmission, the Cayenne Turbo S launches to 60-mph in 4.3 seconds and has a top speed of 176 mph.
View Complete 2013 Detroit Auto Show Coverage
Aside from raw power, the Cayenne offers two interior color combinations: a black and red setup and black and beige look. The model on the show floor sported the red interior, which looked great alongside the carbon fiber highlights.
A feature exclusive to the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is its dynamic light system plus, which is also available with black bi-xenon headlights. This system allows automatic high beam control, to prevent oncoming traffic getting blinded by your high beams.

By USF

TAMPA - The University of South Florida men's basketball team will officially return to campus and the brand new Sun Dome on Saturday, Nov. 10, when it hosts the University of Central Florida in the season opener. The Bulls and Knights will face off in the newly christened building on the front end of a home-and-home series with UCF that will feature a game in Orlando on January 2, 2013.
"What an exciting way to open a brand new building with a future BIG EAST opponent in UCF," said Heath. "This should be an exciting game that will feature great talent. We expect our fans to fill the seats and give us the energy to provide an electric and memorable season opener."
The Bulls, who played at three different venues during the 2011-12 season, recently capped off their most successful year in program history by reaching the third round of the NCAA Championship. USF matched its school record for wins in a season by going 22-14 and made it to its first NCAA Tournament in 20 years (1991-92) led by 2011-12 BIG EAST Coach of the Year Stan Heath.
The Knights advanced to the first round of the NIT a year ago finishing with an overall record of 22-11 and will return a majority of their roster for the 2012-13 season. UCF is slated to join the BIG EAST Conference for the 2013-14 season in all sports.
The full USF non-conference slate will be released on a future date along with game times.
