Victimizing people is not ok and needs to be addressed through
psychotherapy, counseling , or other professional services like
intensive services or rehab services depending on the assessment and
diagnosis.

Anger is not a bad thing but when it becomes verbally, physically, and

not looked at, deflected, etc will ooze out in unhealthy ways:
physical symptoms, emotional, behavioral, relationship issues and more.

Asu basketball is on the rise!!! Herb Sendek is doing a great job with
recruits.

He is creating a program that believes they can win and mental
toughness and focus is a huge piece of sucess in winning in sports .
Dominating UA the past two years is huge as well as playing solid PAC
10 basketball .

ASU’s Sendek has recruited athletes that are coachable determined and
athletic.

Asu has a lot of potential . Janelle mcmillan is steady at guard.
Trent Lockett is athletic and as he matures can be great. Lockett
needs to believe in his shot and be decisive with his shot.

Ty Abbot can explode for points as he has done with his threes and
overall game.

Hopefully Seven foot two Jordan Bachinski can find his game down low
and grab rebounds and score .

Kuksiks is a pure shooter and we hope he returns….

Exciting players that can develop are: keala king from LA, Carrick
Felix who chose ASu over Duke( huge recruit from Sendek) , Corey
Hawkins Son of NBA player Hersey Hawkins, Kyle Cain, and Brandin
Dunson. All of these guys can play.

The team needs to crash the boards and get rebounds however they are
very athletic and I believe this team will be top in the Pac 10 if
they stay positive and confident and play team ball like Sendek
preaches.

A fourteen year old girl set sail from Gilbraltar to become the
youngest person to set sail around the world.

Many feel this is unsafe and dangerous. Is this trip about adversity
or is this trip about ego and family narcissism.

We have laws for teens as far as age limits for driving due to safety
and maturity issues as well as for other reasons ..

If a child whom is 11 wants to sail across the world do we let them?
If a child who is 8 wants to sail across the world do we let him/her.

Where are the boundaries ? Limits? Rules ? Society needs to decide.

I watched ASU football scrimmage today at Sun Devil Stadium.

The offense looked better than last year however last year was abysmal.

Steve Threat looked confident and his passing was accurate . Osweiler
made some good pass plays however over threw and under threw his
receivers.
Freshman Kerry Taylor looked solid.

As far as who looked the best today it would be Threat, Taylor,
Osweiler, them Sczcasy. Sczcasy mis fired and from the news he has a
muscle strain issue.

Running back Lewis looked good and has great speed.

Asu has to really focus and not be too distracted by all the beauty at
ASU in order to finish in the top half of the Pac 10.
