On the athletes, coaches and fans at the Swimming and Diving Trials.

40 IU athletes participating

I agree with a lot of this article. I think significantly reducing childhood trauma would lead to a host of better societal outcomes. I just don't know how, or if, it can be done, or if it could be, whether enough people would buy in.

From the article:

**the CDC study concluded that childhood violence is the most costly public health issue in the US, calculating that the overall costs exceeded those of cancer or heart disease. It estimated that eradicating childhood violence in the US would reduce the overall rate of depression by more than half, alcoholism by two-thirds, and suicide, serious drug abuse, and domestic violence by three-quarters. Moreover, preventing exposure to violence and abuse would significantly affect job performance, and vastly decrease the need for incarceration. In fact, about 95 percent of violent inmates suffer from childhood experiences with violence and abuse. That, of course, is not limited to the US, but is relevant to children around the world.

**Compared with girls of the same age, race and social conditions, sexually abused girls suffer from a range of profoundly negative effects: difficulties learning, depression, troubled sexual development, high rates of obesity and self-mutilation. They dropped out of school at much higher rates and had more serious medical illnesses. This study, and numerous others like it, underscore the reality that supporting high-quality early caregiving is critically important in preventing physical, social and mental health problems, regardless of traumas that occur outside the family.

**John Heckman, winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Economics, has shown that quality early childhood programmes that involve parents and promote basic skills in disadvantaged children more than pay for themselves in improved outcomes. Economists have calculated that every dollar invested in high-quality home visiting, daycare, and preschool programmes results in $7 in savings on welfare payments, healthcare costs, substance abuse treatment, and incarceration, plus higher tax revenues due to better-paying jobs.

This usually gets tweeted out when we get a commitment.

Ouch this just hurts, BUT after lies, plagiarism, crimes, Benghazi, taxes, capital gains taxes, soaring inflation, violence in the streets, I'm sorry people are waking up. A career, horrible, evil, politician, let's not bring up his daughter or son for that matter. More and more democrats are realizing what in the hell were we thinking. It all makes sense now.

then the exasperation in this dad’s voice and body language will be entirely relatable.

Shark attack- Body found with an arm and leg missing.

So terrible.

The school district’s superintendent, Dr. Harold Olin, denied any bullying reports had ever been submitted by either the parents or the boy.

if Harold is found to be lying, he should be hanged in public.

Purdue picked as the automatic qualifier.

Kansas projected as #1 seed.

Wonder if these decommits will have an effect on Lewis' commitment?

Dell told workers to classify themselves as hybrid workers or remote. If hybrid, they have to work out of an office 40 days per quarter. If remote, they forfeit promotions and getting hired into other Dell jobs.

1/2 chose remote.

It was believed Dell did this to trim their workforce without paying any severance. Dell really only has one set of offices, in Austin. Others are too small or don't exist. I know people that moved back to Austin because it really was the only choice.

Half forgoing promotion is a lot. I suspect many will go elsewhere over time. Apple is having similar issues with workers. It appears workers are still demanding more flexibility.

Hoosier fans, let's discuss the latest verbal!

I was blessed to get an in-person look at the Groveport Madison defensive lineman during his college day. He is a good prospect and good person!

Trent Sisley and Braylon Mullins were selected for this event but we're unable to play. Braylon Mullins did show up and was a presence there just for coaches to talk to and interact with his fellow players. IU was also watching 6'9 Cathedral Sr. Brady Koehler who is long and has enormous potential. He's a little weak right now so playing thru contact is not his strong suit but that will come in time. He can put it on the floor very well and shoot it from 3 even better. His recruitment has recently picked up with offers from Stanford and a few other P5s but this is a kid (that if he doesn't get offered and recruited by IU now) they'll regret it and hope they can pull him in the transfer portal. He can space the floor extremely well and be a 3 or stretch 4.
I would have to imagine they were at least looking at Jeffersonville's 6'8 senior Tre Singleton. Here's another kid that they'll likely wish they had gotten in a few years. Tre is working on making his outside shot more consistent and the best part of his game right now is his footwork in the post. He finishes inside against that tries to check him down low. He also has extremely polished handles for someone his size.
A name for the future is Fishers sophomore Jason Gardner Jr. You may remember his father was the 1999 Mr. Basketball at North Central and Arizona Wildcat point guard for 4 years. Gardner just needs to get his shot more consistent. Right now his best asset is his passing and running the floor. He is a D1 athlete/ soon to be player and I would imagine that IU will jump in on him in the near the future.
