How to Self Schedule
It is crucial to the success of our Referee program that Referees use this system to self-schedule games. Without this system the Referee Scheduler's job becomes very difficult as they must resort to sending out a flurry of email messages and making last minute phone calls in order to schedule Referees for the fast approaching weekend games. This can all be avoided if you the Referee take the initiative to let us know when you are available via the on-line Referee scheduler.
Step 1: Log in to the WSSL system using your own user name and password.
Step 2: Select "Referees" in the horizontal menu.
Step 3: Select "Self-scheduler" in the drop down menu.
Step 4: Select a date and a division for the game that you would like to officiate. You may choose to select a default division which will limit your view of available games to that division. You may always choose to officiate games in another division if you would like.
Step 5: Select the game that you want to officiate and the position you want to take (center referee, assistant referee).
Step 6: Update your self-scheduled selection. You should see your name next to the selection you toggled.
Step 7: You should see that your request is pending (next to your name). Your Chief Referee or Referee Scheduler will approve your selection. Now all you have to do is wait.
Step 8: You can check the status of your assignment on the Assignments/Status page of the website.
Thank you for using the Self-Scheduler!!

'Glee' star Mark Salling: Britney Spears looks great!
"Glee" stud Mark Salling got grilled at the Emmys on Sunday (Aug 29) about working with Britney Spears on an upcoming episode of the hit TV musical comedy series.
"It's a fairly ambitious episode," he reveals. "There are quite a few numbers. The 'Toxic' number is really great."
Will Britney's comeback be helped by "Glee"?
"I don't think she needs us to come back. But she looked great. I didn't work with her too much myself. It's fun for her and it's good."

The focal point of any piece of essay writing is in the thesis statement. A thesis can be either explicit, directly stating what the topic is, or implicit, presenting a more metaphorical view of the essay's theme. However, a thesis should provide a sort of lens through which the author wants the reader to look at the topic at hand (at least for the duration of the essay), and a thesis can be in nearly anywhere in your paper's text.
Some writers spend pages winding their way through (or around) a topic before coming to a legitimate thesis. At that point many writers go back to the beginning and put the thesis at the top of page one and start bringing that point down through the rest of the paper, attempting to relate other points in the paper to that one focal point.
Also, it is important to realize that this is only one view of writing introductions. There are many other workable methods and non-methods; in fact, nearly everyone has his or her own way of writing and of thinking about writing. Although one can start with the perspective shown here, developing one's own unique style is probably the most important writing lesson that anyone can learn.
An Example to use:
Gerard Manley Hopkins' Hurrahing in Harvest uses his sprung/outrider rhythm technique to suggest that a love of God can lift man far from mortal concerns. Even though the narrator discovers himself nearly transported off the ground in his attempt to be more closely connected with God, we should not mistake such for the idea that Hopkins truly believes the sky to be God; he is using that metaphor to extend the concept that Christians must strive and truly desire to reach God. The fact that the narrator makes a physical connection is an indication of Hopkins' aspiration to show an experiential connection with God.
What Should an Introduction Do?
This is the biggest one. Tell the reader what your problem is! Unless you are starting a mystery story, you want the reader to know nearly everything that will happen. Note: this does not mean that you ought to try to explain every detail in the opening paragraph (which would be nearly impossible to write and very boring to read); it does mean that you want the reader to be acquainted with the problem and ready to consider a wide range of potential solutions.
- Take a position on your topic. Your introduction will be the tool you use to tell readers specifically how you are looking at things until the end of your paper.
- Present some question or problem with at least one or more current viewpoints of your topic.
- Provide the reader the scope you want to cover
In the above example I suggest that I will look at an aspect of a poem by Hopkins, which I have clearly defined in from the very beginning.
Although there are many ways to write introductions, I have demonstrated an excellent starting position.
Please also look at our page on conclusions.

The Jenny Lind Melon (Cucumis melo) is an heirloom cantaloupe first introduced in the 1840's. Unlike most other types of cantaloupe, its flesh is light green, rather than orange. A typical fruit weights between one and two pounds, and has a distinct knob, often known as a turban, on one end.
Like other heirloom plants, Jenny Lind Melons are generally not grown commercially. However, their seeds are available from a variety of sources, and many home gardeners choose to grown their own.
The plant is commonly believed to have been named for the singer Jenny Lind.

Israeli, UK media report increased planning for confrontation with Iran
By Laura Rozen | The Envoy ? 39 mins ago
Just as the United States is preparing to unwind itself from its involvement in the Middle East--departing Iraq and transferring lead security responsibilities in Afghanistan to Afghans by 2014--a new round of tension appears to be surfacing between Iran and Israel. Reports in the Israeli press indicate that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak are working to convince other members of Netanyahu's cabinet and Israeli security chiefs that Israel needs to launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran's nuclear program.
Netanyahu and Barak "are trying to muster a majority in the cabinet in favor of military action against Iran, a senior Israeli official has said," Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported Wednesday in a piece co-bylined by four reporters. The two officials "recently persuaded Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who previously objected to attacking Iran, to support such a move," according to the Ha'aretz acount, which has garnered an unusual degree of attention from western policymakers.
The Ha'aretz report followed a piece late last week by Israel's leading columnist, Nahum Barnea, on the front page of Israel's largest circulation daily Yediot Ahronoth, titled "Atomic Pressure." It begins: "Have the prime minister and defense minister settled on a decision, just between the two of them, to launch a military attack on the nuclear facilities in Iran?" The piece then continues:
This question preoccupies many people in the defense establishment and high circles of government. It distresses foreign governments, which find it difficult to understand what is happening here: One the one hand, there are mounting rumors of an Israeli move that will change the face of the Middle East and possibly seal Israel's fate for generations to come; on the other hand, there is a total absence of any public debate. The issue of whether to attack Iran is at the bottom of the Israeli discourse.In the bigger picture, such developments aren't earthshaking. Israel has long harbored serious concerns about Iran's developing nuclear capacity--and Netanyahu has sought to rally global opinion behind efforts to stem Iran's nuclear ambitions. What's striking, however, is that American diplomacy hands are paying exceptionally close attention to these latest reports.
Washington Middle East analysts note, among other things, that the timing of the reports is significant: Israel has lately found itself isolated in regional diplomatic debates in the wake of the so-called Arab Spring uprisings. What's more, these U.S. experts say, anxiety over Iran's nuclear ambitions has spread well beyond Israel proper, to rival Arab states such as Saudi Arabia. And diplomacy watchers in the States also note that the Israeli media reports appear to be sourced to those members of the Israeli security establishment who have traditionally opposed a unilateral strike against Iran--largely on the grounds that such an action would blindside Washington.
From Israel's perspective, it may feel "it has little to lose" from carrying out strikes on Iran, in terms of its regional standing, Marc Lynch, a Middle East expert at George Washington University, told Yahoo News Wednesday. "It sees its strategic position [amid the Arab awakening] as deteriorating. There is no peace process."
But Lynch also noted the sense within the Israel press that "Israel might do it" may have another purpose: to push U.S. President Barack Obama to implement tougher sanctions and pressure on Iran--or else.
"I still don't see [an Israeli attack on Iran] as a high probability," Lynch said. "My sense of this is [Israeli leaders may] see this as an opportunity to once again ramp up pressure and containment and sanctions on Iran. I have no sense the United States is ramping up for war. But communications between the U.S. and Israel is not all that it could be. How much of this is gamesmanship to force the U.S. to do tougher sanctions, [and how much of this is] there's a window of opportunity to have a serious discussion they might take a shot."
The media reports also come as the UN atomic watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is due to issue a report on Iran's nuclear program Nov. 8.
"The [IAEA] report will almost certainly raise tensions in a region made volatile by this year's Arab revolutions and the turmoil in Syria," the Guardian's diplomatic editor Julian Borger wrote Wednesday. "In the absence of a tough new UN security council resolution, the US will face the dilemma of acting militarily without an international mandate, or risk missing Iran's window of vulnerability to attack."
"Britain's armed forces are stepping up their contingency planning for potential military action against Iran amid mounting concern about Tehran's nuclear enrichment programme, the Guardian has learned," a separate Guardian report Wednesday said. The UK Defense Ministry "believes the US may decide to fast-forward plans for targeted missile strikes at some key Iranian facilities. British officials say that if Washington presses ahead it will seek, and receive, UK military help for any mission, despite some deep reservations within the coalition government."
All of these trends are sobering, given an increasingly war-weary climate of opinion in the United States. American citizens have lately been looking for the enormous commitment of resources that the United States has undertaken in the past decade of warmaking in the Middle East to be channeled into domestic improvements to the stalled-out U.S. economy--nation-building at home, as Obama recently put it.
Meanwhile, it's not as though relations between the United States and Iran are exactly placid at the moment. The State Department said it had received a seven-page "rant" of a letter from Iranian authorities this week rejecting recent American allegations that members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards Corps-Qods Force had conspired in an assassination plot against the Saudi envoy to Washington.
10 to 1 Obama bends over and somehow foots the bill for this or commits troops or SOME dam thing. BEBE owns him.:innocent:

Fedora 15 LXDE review
Fedora 15 LXDE is a Fedora 15 Spin, an alternate edition of Fedora, "tailored for various types of users via hand-picked application sets and other customizations." Presently, seven Spins have been released. These are, in order of popularity about the time I hit the Publish button, the KDE, LXDE, Xfce, Security, Games, Electronic-Lab, and Design-Suite Spins.
The Xfce Spin has already been reviewed here. This article presents a review of the LXDE spin, the first for it on this website.
Installation Process: Like other Spins, Fedora 15 LXDE is available for download as a Live CD ISO image. Unlike the main (GNOME 3) edition, there is no DVD or bfo installation image for this edition or for any other Spin.
The boot menu options allow booting into the Live environment, where installation can then be started. Installation is not possible without first booting into the Live environment. There is an option to "Boot from local drive,"
However, attempting to boot from the local disk always generates the error shown here. This happens not just with the LXDE Spin, but with all the Fedora releases, including the main edition.
All the Fedora spins share the same installation program with the main edition. Anaconda 15.31 is the version of Anaconda, the Fedora system installer, that ships with this latest release. The changes I see in this version are just cosmetic. The available disk partitioning methods are the same. Disk encryption is supported (see how Fedora protects your computer with full disk encryption).
LVM, the Linux Logical Volume Manager, is the default disk partitioning scheme. Ext3, Ext4 and XFS are the supported journaling file systems, with ext4 as the default, even for the boot partition. Fedora 15 is the first version to have built-in support for btrfs, the B-tree file System, but it is only available when installing from a DVD or bfo ISO image. (You might be interested in how to install Fedora 15 on an encrypted btrfs file system.)
Installation of the Fedora 15 Spins, and of the Live CD version of the GNOME edition, is not installation in the traditional sense, but rather, a copying of the Live image to disk. So, what you see on the Live desktop is what you get after installation.
Desktop: The LXDE desktop is a very simple and highly configurable desktop environment. Memory footprint is small and CPU usage is minimal. A new installation of takes up less than 2 GB of disk space, far less than a new installation of other Spins. The menu features all the necessary application categories except the Games category. Like the Xfce Spin, there are no games installed.
The file manager is PCManFM, named after the author's online moniker. I find it a lot more fun to use than Thunar, the file manager on the GNOME and Xfce desktop environments. There is support for tabbed-browsing. Clicking on a folder opens it in place, rather than in a tab. Though not in this release, directory browsing on the side pane has been implemented, and should be available in a stable release soon.
When dual-booting with other operating systems and distributions, you can mount and browse their partitions. Out of the box, you can even read and write to ntfs partitions, that is, you can access your Windows files and folders from the file manager.
If you click on an image file in the file manager, the system will attempt to open it in GXine, the default media player, and even after changing the default behavior to open all image files in GPicView, the installed image viewer, the system would still attempt to open them in GXine. GPicView, by the way, is one of the best image viewers I have used. It has more features than the default image viewer on the Xfce spin.
The system will popup this dialog window when a video DVD is Inserted.
And this if it is an audio CD. The problem is that for some reason, the default application, GXine, is unable to play audio or video media, and the problem does not seem to lie with it because after installing Rhythmbox and Totem, I still could not play any audio or video media.
Attempting to configure a printer brought up this dialog window, and adding a printer was not an automated process. I found that using the printing utility (Administration > Printing) was a lot more involved than using the printing service's Web interface (localhost:631). (Most distributions will auto-detect and configure a connected printer.)
Installed and Available Software: Some of the main applications installed by default are:
- Firefox 4
- Pidgin Internet Messenger
- Sylpheed, one of the best email clients
- Gnumeric, a spreadsheet application
- Osmo, personal organizer
- Abiword
- Gxine
- LXMusic, a music player for LXDE
There are, of course, many more applications that you can install using yum, the command line package utility, or Yum-Ex, the graphical package manager.

Just work…. Last time i checked even with windows it dont just work. If you are too lazy to just add a repo and type a command then hell linux may not be for you..
Hell with windows do get most formats to work you have to download the codecs for anything or get vlc…. Linux is no different my friend.
sorry that was ment for the arguement lower.
Unable to share any resources to the network in this project
The default file manager for GNOME desktop is nautilus not Thunar.
Hey wait a minute everybody, the reasoning here is not sound, if you must have all the the codecs and other proprietary files out the box just get one of the many re-mixes out there. The best one I is Hanthana Linux based on Fedora 14. It's excellent, does it all, and is readily available..
Thats why Fedore never will be a major Linux distribution at the top like for example Ubuntu or Linux Mint. It's a distro for power users. Of course Fedora contribute a lot for for the Linux community and so on. But a ordinary user want a distribution that just works. Ubuntu not include all things to but those packages are easy for even a beginner to install like "Ubuntu restricted extras" and "Libdvd".
Fedora is actually one of major Linux distributions. Any operating system will require some settings despite working out of box should an application or format are missing.
Teaching ordinary users how to maintain their own system should be essential.
It depend how much time you want to do the settings and how easy it is. Ubuntu have a good balance in that aspect. If it's to complicated users just chose another distribution. For a Linux power user maybe thats not a problem, but for a ordinary user it is. And there are actually system that works "out of the box" to like Linux Mint, PCLinuxOS or Pardus for example.
Once those ordinary users got taught about the setup and installation of additional software, they will find not harder to use.
Even non-Linux bases systems require extra step to fully "work of box". Remember a system like Fedora had to abide to laws for some patented software.
I think a good education about operating system will be very useful for those ordinary users.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Same goes for the explanation of DVDs; nice one there. Props to Fedora for adhering well to principles of free software =)
Though I have to disagree with your comment about CDs below: most CDs that I know of are still sold with a generic specification that shouldn't run into patent boundaries or anything – CDs have always worked right out of the box for me, on any distro, not just Fedora 15. In fact it worked fine on a fresh install of 13; I have a feeling there's been a config problem in the installation in this article.
You are right, DxSepley. Wav is the generic format for Audio CD.
U can configure the required media codec for audio/video playback using rpmfusion or easylife

Charloette, or by his nickname "Charlie", is a saddle tank engine who loves to tell jokes and have fun. He use to work on the mainland railway and was their favorite engine. Charlie enjoys teasing the engines and generally leads them into trouble.
BioCharlie first arrived on Sodor to help out on the railway. Thomas became jealous of him, when Percy exclaimed that Charlie more fun Thomas. When Thomas was to show him around, Charlie convinced him to have fun instead of working. Charlie challenged Thomas to a race to on the rickety track. However, the coupling between Thomas and Annie became loose; Thomas had to find Annie, Clarabel, and Alicia Botti. Charlie wanted to race him again, but Thomas was stern and he decide to bring Alicia Botti to her concert.
Once, Edward had to bring the Fat Controller's car to the mechanic. Charlie says that Edward is too old to be a fun engine. He convinced Edward to have fun instead of delivering the Fat Controller's car to the mechanic. When they arrive at Maron, Thomas told Edward that the mechanic has just left on Bertie. Edward and Charlie chased after Bertie, but they didn't catch up to him. This causes more chaos when Edward suggested repairing the car at the Sodor Steamworks. When everything was put right, Charlie agreed that Edward is really useful and fun too.
During Winter, Percy, Edward and Stanley had broken-down. Thomas decide to hold a Christmas party at the Steamworks, but he didn't tell Victor. Thomas asked Charlie to quietly tell his jokes at Steamworks. However, Charlie was not very good at being quiet and Victor ordered him and Thomas to leave. Thomas quickly reverses, and carelessly backs into Charlie who became derailed. Later, Thomas told Victor about the party and soon the Steamworks is decorated for Christmas. Charlie's jokes made Percy think it is the best party ever!
Charlie can be cheeky at times, and enjoys teasing the other engines. He laughed at Flynn, who was traveling on the roads and Flynn was worried about his wheels wobbling. Charlie called him a "big red wobble on wheels", this hurt Flynn's feelings and effected his work. However, he learnt that he was a "big red hero on wheels" and when he met Charlie again Flynn didn't mind Charlie's teasing joke.
Henry told Charlie that he does not like snow, Charlie offered of a joke to cheer him up but Henry puffed sadly away. Charlie wanted to show him that snow can be fun. Later, Charlie hid behind some trucks and pretended to be a talking snowman, which made Henry rather scared. Charlie admitted that he was the talking snowman and apologized to Henry. Charlie realized that everyone has different opinions about snow.
Charlie is a small and playful engine. Charlie provides lots of entertainment for the children and he enjoys their company. He hardly gets any work done, but he is always ready to help out a friend in need.
Charlie is a small and playful engine from the Mainland who likes to have a lot of fun. He is always up for an adventure! While Charlie can be a little mischievous, he's always ready to help out a friend in need.
Behind the Scenes
Charlie was introduced into the CGI era of the television series, and never received a full scale model. Charlie has a permanent lamp attached to his funnel.
BasisCharlie is a Manning Wardle L Class 0-6-0ST. His twin Billy is another member of this class.
Charlie is painted purple with gold and white trim and red wheels. He has the number fourteen painted in gold on his sides.
- Since Charlie and Billy have the same basis, it may be possible for Charlie's model to be re-rendered into Billy; Thus making a possible return in the near future.
- Charlie rarely takes things seriously; everything is fun and games to him. This can be a negative effect on the engines around him.

UT track coach resigns over relationship with student
By Mike Finger | January 6, 2013 | Updated: January 6, 2013 11:08pm
Photo By Ralph Barrera/MBOIn this photo taken March 31, 2011, Texas women's head track and field coach Beverly Kearney is photographed during practice in Austin, Texas. University officials were planning a pay raise for the NCAA college coach before she was abruptly suspended. According to documents released by the school Friday, Nov. 30, 2012, women's athletic director Chris Plonsky wrote president Bill Powers on Sept. 24 requesting the raise and calling her a key mentor and leader. Plonsky suspended Kearney with pay on Nov. 11 to investigate issues within the program that the school has not disclosed. (AP Photo/Statesman.com, Ralph Barrera, file) MAGS OUT; NO SALES; INTERNET AND TV MUST CREDIT PHOTOGRAPHER AND STATESMAN.COM
AUSTIN - Texas women's track and field Bev Kearney resigned Saturday, two months after being placed on paid leave and 10 years after what she termed a "consensual intimate relationship" with an adult student-athlete.
Kearney, who led the Longhorns to six national championships and was named conference coach of the year 16 times in 19 years at UT, announced her intention to step down in an interview with the Austin American-Statesman. She told the newspaper that the relationship in question began in July 2002 and ended after she was in a serious automobile accident five months later.
In a statement issued Saturday night, UT vice president for legal affairs Patti Ohlendorf said the school began to review the relationship in October, when it was reported by the former student-athlete. Ohlendorf said UT had no prior knowledge of the relationship.
'Terrible mistake'
After reviewing the case, Ohlendorf's statement said UT "does not believe that Coach Kearney had any similar relationships with student-athletes either before or after the reported relationship."
"Coach Kearney is a good person and has been very important to the university," the statement said. "However, she made this terrible mistake and used unacceptably poor judgment in having this relationship.
"The university determined that it no longer was appropriate for Coach Kearney to serve as head coach or to work directly with our student-athletes and was prepared to begin the termination process. This was discussed with Coach Kearney recently."
Was close to pay raise
Kearney, 55, was being paid a base salary of about $270,000 per year. The Associated Press reported that shortly before being placed on leave, she had been recommended for a raise that would have brought her salary to about $397,000 per year.
Kearney told the American-Statesman she did not know why the former student-athlete came forward, but she said she would not "say or imply in any way who that individual is."

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Exclusive! Adrienne Maloof on the Highs and Lows of Her TV Marriage
How would you like to share the inner workings of your relationship with not only your closest friends — and enemies — but millions of viewers across America? It sounds like hell to us!
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof exclusively revealed to Wetpaint Entertainment that even her rock-solid marriage to plastic surgeon Paul Nassif suffers from life in the spotlight sometimes.
"We have a good marriage but it's a work in progress. That's any marriage I think but especially with the show it gets a little more difficult," explained Adrienne at Disney's Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension premiere on Wednesday.
"I don't think it gets any easier to handle (in Season 2). Any time you have six women surrounding you there's drama constantly," she added with a smile.
Not many marriages can survive the scrutiny of life in front of the cameras and reality television is filled with bitter divorce battles and heart-wrenching break-ups. From Kelsey and Camille Grammer to Taylor Armstrong and her husband Russell, Cupid doesn't seem to be a fan of reality TV.
While we're sure that power couple Adrienne and Paul will survive any bumps in the road and have a blast making up afterwards, some other members of the cast are causing even more drama in neighborhood this season.
Adrienne wouldn't say who the biggest troublemaker is, but promised, "You'll figure that out by the end of the season."
As for the latest bitchy sound bite teasing us about our favorite Brit, Lisa Vanderplump, "If you ask Kim, she says 'Lisa has huge spoons and she stirs all day long,' So there you go!" said castmate Maloof.

Fill out the McDonald's application to uncover exciting fast food jobs featuring outstanding pay scales and work benefits.
The McDonalds hiring process begins with filling out an application. The fast food chain offers a paper application for job seekers to fill out and submit in person. A two-page document, the application remains simple and easy to fill out, with most of the information limited to one page. To get the hiring process started, applicants need to download the application from this page. Next, job hopefuls should print out the form and look over the information McDonalds looks for.
The first page of the application includes sections for personal information, availability, employment history, and school and military service. The personal information section requires home and cell phone numbers, address, email, and social security number. Under the availability portion, applicants need to list the total of hours available to work a week, and ability to legally work in the U.S.
After personal information and availability, McDonalds provides ample room for employment history.

Sofa XXXX
Posted on January 31, 2011 by saya
Looking for something to surprise all your friends and guests? Sofa XXXX is rightly the thing you'll need.
The furniture is constructed from 8000 chopsticks of four different lengths, some metal rings and plastic joints. Thus the chair can be contracted, making it easier for transportation. Remarkably, all these 8000 chopsticks are cut and polished by hand, and the designer spent about three months to finish the project.

When Veronica Mars premiered nearly a decade ago, the teenage neo-noir drew a small, devoted following that floated the TV show for three seasons. No surprise, then, that when creator Rob Thomas Kickstarted a Veronica Mars movie, fans answered.
The result is Veronica Mars, a brisk low-budget flick that finds Veronica (Kristen Bell) back in Neptune, California to help ex Logan (Jason Dohring) beat a murder rap, attend her reunion and tie up 10 years of loose ends.
There are some feinted concessions to new viewers, including a prologue that reads like a TV "previously on," but the movie pulls itself heavily back into the past both in the case and its subtext. On one hand, the insular Neptune rich kids suit their stagnant orbit; on the other, some grace notes—like characters who unexpectedly come to Logan's defense in a brawl—rely heavily on old canon for their power. Even the slow burn between Veronica and Logan suffers from it, though their connection occasionally achieves the tug of old times. Luckily, Veronica's father Keith (Enrico Colantoni, an understated gem) needs no introduction, instantly grounding and utterly fond, a welcome center of Veronica's life. Some new faces (a committed Gaby Hoffmann) join Neptune High alums (Krysten Ritter in the best of many cameos), lending nuance to subplots that otherwise skew a bit cut-and-dry in the service of revisiting as many old friends as possible.
Filmed with the visual finesse of a class project, it's still hard to take Veronica Mars too much to task; naturally, a fan-funded film prioritizes seeing the whole gang one more time. For something so inherently insular, it's uncertain if anyone but diehards will find satisfaction. But maybe, like any good in-joke, it's only meant for the people to which it already means something.

Eastern's Offensive Philosophy Under Head Coach Beau Baldwin
"We have developed, in my opinion, an offense that I can't even put a name on. We pick some different parts of different offenses and make it our own. We try and mold it around the quarterback to make him be successful. Ultimately, it is an offense with the mindset that we are going to create situations where our quarterback can succeed."
"We are going to create some situations to get easy completions early, get flow going and allow a quarterback to have some success. What happens then is he is able to gain confidence and make a lot of those tougher throws and those bigger ones. The other thing with quarterbacks is that we have a mentality of really believing in them to build their confidence. You coach them tough and hard, and you have to be critical because we want All-Americans here. But you also want to create a constant confidence, even when things go wrong."
"We want our quarterbacks to be candidates for All-Big Sky and All-America honors, and for the Walter Payton Award as the best player in the country. If you want them to be as successful as they can possibly be, you have to do as much as you can within your offense. You want to still work within the framework of your offense, but you have to be flexible to get the most success out of your quarterback position. He, in turn, is going to help make the rest of the offense go and be more successful."
"Whatever we have to do to bring out the best in that
quarterback, and ultimately the offense, is what I am going to do.
First and foremost we recruit players that are going to fit into
what we do for the most part. Every quarterback is going to be a
little different where you adjust certain things you call. There
are certain plays you are going to call for one guy and less with
another. They are all still within the framework of your
Complete Beau Baldwin Bio (entering 2014)
His record speaks for itself.
But award-winning quarterbacks, highly-efficient offenses, postseason berths, championships and honors have also been incredibly plentiful for the Eastern Washington University football program under the direction of head coach Beau Baldwin.
The 2012 and 2013 Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year enters
his seventh season as head coach at Eastern with one of the top
win-loss records in league history. His .792 winning percentage in
league games (38-10) is the best-ever by an Eastern head coach and
currently ranks fifth in the 50-year history of the Big Sky. With a
56-22 record overall in six seasons, his .718 percentage is eighth
in league history.
In 10 seasons as either a head coach or assistant at Eastern, Baldwin has been a part of six playoff teams and four league championships, with 55 league victories and 81 overall.
Statistically, Eastern has annually had one of the top offenses in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision. In the last 10 seasons (2004-2013) – including nine with Baldwin on the coaching staff -- EWU has ranked in the top 10 in passing eight times and total offense on six occasions.
Baldwin has coached six national players of the year at the FCS level – all since 2005 – including five presented by The Sports Network. Most recently, wide receiver Cooper Kupp won the 2013 Jerry Rice Award presented by TSN to the top freshman in the FCS. Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell won the 2011 Walter Payton Award, which is presented to the top offensive player by The Sports Network. Erik Meyer won the same award in 2005. Defensive end Greg Peach (2008) and J.C. Sherritt (2010) won the Buck Buchanan Award given by TSN to the top defensive player.
In addition, quarterback Vernon Adams was picked by the College Sporting News as its FCS Freshman of the Year in 2012. The following season, Adams was runner-up for the Payton Award and was selected by College Performance Awards as its FCS Performer of the Year.
For the second-straight season, Baldwin's 2013 squad advanced to the semifinals of the FCS Playoffs after going a perfect 8-0 in the Big Sky Conference for the first time in school history. As a result, Eastern won its seventh Big Sky title all-time and fifth in 10 seasons.
His team finished 12-3 overall after starting the season with a season-opening 49-46 win at 25th-ranked Oregon State, which was just the fourth time a FCS team has ever defeated a ranked NCAA Football Bowl Division (FBS) team. The 2013 Eagle squad broke 48 school records, 23 Big Sky marks and 12 FCS records. Baldwin finished sixth in the voting for the 2013 Eddie Robinson Award, given to the national coach of the year in FCS. And for the third time in four years, he was honored regionally by the Inland Northwest Sportswriters and Broadcasters (SWABS) as Coach of the Year.
"What a tremendous accomplishment by Coach Baldwin, his staff and team to go through a Big Sky season undefeated. And having Coach Baldwin's peers recognize the accomplishment is special too," said Eastern athletic director Bill Chaves. "There is no doubt that Coach Baldwin has taken what all of our past coaches have built at Eastern and expanded upon it. You need an orchestra leader to do the things we are doing and Beau is just that – the best in the business. His record speaks for itself and we are just so fortunate to have him leading our program and be a face of Eastern Washington University."
"I am humbled very much," said Baldwin. "Especially in the sport of football, a coach of the year award is more accurately stated as a coaching staff of the year award. So much of it is because of what the assistant coaches do every year -- we have great teachers and men on this staff. This type of award is a tribute to them. And no staff ever wins a coach of the year award without talented players, great leadership and outstanding character in the locker room. Our players exemplify that."
In 2012, the Eagles finished 11-3 overall and 7-1 in the Big Sky Conference to share the league title with two other schools. Baldwin finished fifth in the voting for the Robinson Award, was honored regionally by SWABS as Coach of the Year and for the second time in three seasons EWU was honored as the SWABS Team of the Year.
Baldwin was 6-5 in 2011, 13-2 in 2010 and 8-4 in 2009 after a 6-5 debut season in 2008. In 2007, as head coach at Central Washington, Baldwin was 10-3. He has helped solidify Eastern as one of the premier FCS teams in the nation, as the Eagles are one of only four schools (of 122 playing FCS football) to have made the playoffs at least seven times in the past 10 years (2004-13).
Ever since his high school days when his Curtis High School team in Tacoma, Wash., won the State AAA title, Baldwin has been a part of playoff runs at three collegiate levels – NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, NCAA Division II and NAIA. His 20-season collegiate coaching résumé – all at Eastern Washington or Central Washington – includes two national championships, eight conference championships and a 15-8-1 record in 10 postseason playoff appearances.
Five of his seven seasons as head coach – and two more at Eastern as an assistant – have ended with playoff berths. He had three more berths as a young assistant at Central Washington, including the 1995 NAIA title.
In 2010, Baldwin took a perennial playoff participant and honed it into a national champion. Ironically, many observers didn't even have EWU ranked as a top 25 team before the 2010 season began, but the Eagles finished both the regular season and playoffs ranked No. 1.
The 2010 season had a storybook ending for Baldwin after the Eagles finished 13-2 and won the NCAA Division I Championship with a 20-19 come-from-behind victory over Delaware in the title game on Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas.
"I'm so happy for all the players in our program, and especially happy for the seniors, because you knew no matter what, it was going to be their last college football game," Baldwin said of the fantastic finish. "And with the hard work they've put in, they deserve to go out as champions, because they work like that. That's the character they have. And it was fun to watch those guys."
Baldwin graduated in 1990 from Curtis High School in Tacoma, Wash. He earned three letters in football and three in baseball and helped lead Curtis to the 1989 State AAA title in football along with his fellow EWU coach Brian Strandley and former EWU coach Torey Hunter. Eastern offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Aaron Best is a 1996 graduate of Curtis.
Baldwin was born May 21, 1972, in Santa Barbara, Calif. His father, Ken, introduced Beau and his younger brother, Joe, to the sports of baseball, basketball and football. When Beau was in the sixth grade, Ken died of a heart attack at the age of 37, leaving their mother, Pat, to raise the two young boys.
Baldwin and his wife, Nicole, have a girl named, Mia Jenae (9), who was born Dec. 29, 2004. Their second daughter, Macie Patricia (7), was born Nov. 22, 2006. Although spelled differently, Macie received her name because she was born the day before Thanksgiving Day and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade gave her parents the idea.
Nicole (formerly Nicole Monforton) is a graduate of Eastern (bachelor's degree in journalism in 2001) and Spokane's Valley Christian High School (1997). She met Beau while working as a graduate student in EWU's sports information office.
Vernon Adams Jr. The Latest in Coach Baldwin's
Long Line of Payton Award-Caliber Quarterbacks . .
When Vernon Adams Jr. finished as the runner-up for the Walter Payton Award given to the top player in the FCS, his record-breaking season only affirmed the legacy of award-winning quarterbacks that Baldwin has created. A victory over nationally-ranked Oregon State and yet another semifinal berth in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs cemented it.
With the most prolific offense in school history, the Eagles rolled to a 12-3 record in the 2013 season, including the school's first ever perfect 8-0 run through the Big Sky Conference. The Eagles broke 48 school, 23 Big Sky and 12 FCS records during the 2013 season. Eastern, the 2010 NCAA Division I Champion, advanced to the semifinals of the FCS Playoffs for the third time in the last four years in 2013. Eastern's season came a game short of the title game, as Towson rallied for a 35-31 victory over EWU on Dec. 21, 2013, at Roos Field in Cheney, Wash.
Eastern ranked third in the final regular season and season-ending polls, and was seeded third in the playoffs. But the season was made even more historic by the way it began. Eastern's 49-46 victory at No. 25 Oregon State on Aug. 31, 2013, was just the fourth time since the division was created in 1978 that a FCS (formerly known as I-AA) team defeated a ranked FBS opponent. The other times that feat occurred came in 1983 (Cincinnati def. #20 Penn State 14-3), 2007 (Appalachian State def. #5 Michigan 34-32) and 2010 (James Madison def. #13 Virginia Tech 21-16).
Eastern finished the season ranked fourth in FCS in total offense (533.5 per game), fourth in passing (349.8) and seventh in scoring (39.5). Adams finished second in the nation in total offense (373.3 per game), with school and Big Sky record totals of 5,559 yards of offense (second in FCS history), 4,994 passing yards (third) and 55 touchdown passes (third). His passing efficiency rating of 183.13 led the nation, ranks fourth all-time in FCS and broke EWU and Big Sky records.
Redshirt freshman wide receiver Cooper Kupp accounted for six FCS records, four school marks and one Big Sky record with a sensational debut season of 93 catches for 1,691 yards and 21 touchdowns. He was selected as the recipient of the Jerry Rice Award given to the top freshman in FCS, and also was a unanimous first team All-America selection in FCS.
Eastern had a similar run in 2012, finishing 11-3 overall and winning a share of the league title with Montana State and Cal Poly with a 7-1 Big Sky mark. Seeded second in the FCS Playoffs, Eastern won two home games before falling 45-42 in the semifinals to Sam Houston State at Roos Field in a game that defied logic. After falling behind 35-0 at halftime, Adams came off the bench to throw for a school-record six touchdown passes and nearly pull off the improbable rally.
Adams and Kyle Padron combined to lead EWU to the school record for passing yards. The Eagles finished with 4,469 yards, breaking the previous record of 4,102 in 2005. Each had a school-record six touchdown passes in the playoffs. As a team, EWU finished 14th in FCS in total offense (442.0), seventh in FCS in passing offense (318.9 per game) and 17th in scoring offense (33.7)
In nine games as a starter and three games as a sub, Adams ranked fourth in FCS in passing efficiency (160.80). The Freshman All-America selection completed 60.9 percent of his passes for 1,961 yards and 20 touchdowns, and also rushed for an additional 342 yards and a score.
After transferring from Southern Methodist, Padron started five games and played six others as a sub. He completed 59.1 percent of his passes for a team-leading 2,491 yards, 17 TDs and seven interceptions, and ranked 29th in FCS in passing yards per game (226.5).
Developing top-notch quarterbacks such as Adams and Padron has been a priority – and a specialty – of Baldwin's through the years.
"We want our quarterbacks to be candidates for All-Big Sky and All-America honors, and for the Walter Payton Award as the best player in the country," he explained. "If you want them to be as successful as they can possibly be, you have to do as much as you can within your offense. You want to still work within the framework of your offense, but you have to be flexible to get the most success out of your quarterback position. He, in turn, is going to help make the rest of the offense go and be more successful.
"Whatever we have to do to bring out the best in that quarterback, and ultimately the offense, is what we are going to do," he added. "First and foremost we recruit players that are going to fit into what we do for the most part. Every quarterback is going to be a little different where you adjust certain things you call. There are certain plays you are going to call for one guy and less with another. They are all still within the framework of your offense."
The end result is an offensive attack that Baldwin himself can't quite describe exactly.
"We have developed, in my opinion, an offense that I can't even put a name on," he explained. "We pick some different parts of different offenses and make it our own. We try and mold it around the quarterback to make him be successful. Ultimately, it is an offense with the mindset that we are going to create situations where our quarterback can succeed.
"We are going to create some situations to get easy completions early, get flow going and allow a quarterback to have some success," Baldwin continued. "What happens then is he is able to gain confidence and make a lot of those tougher throws and those bigger ones. The other thing with quarterbacks is that we have a mentality of really believing in them to build their confidence. You coach them tough and hard, and you have to be critical because we want All-Americans here. But you also want to create a constant confidence, even when things go wrong."
Recruiting State of Washington a Priority –
and a Strength . . .
Having spent his entire coaching and playing career in the state of Washington, Baldwin has great knowledge of recruitment within the region and the type of player his program seeks.
"First off, we want to find those student-athletes who fit the right mold from an academic standpoint, a social standpoint and on the field," he explained. "A lot of times, the on the field part comes easy. There are things you can do when they are between the ages of 18 and 23 to help mold and develop their character. We are going to work hard.
"We're fortunate to be a great state when it comes to recruiting," he added. "Some colleges aren't as fortunate to have that corp of high school players available. I believe that we are going to keep making strides and get better and better. It's going to be hard work, but I think everybody in our department is willing to work hard to keep us improving."
There is no better example than two-time All-America linebacker J.C. Sherritt, who now plays for Edmonton in the Canadian Football League. In his sophomore season in the CFL in 2012, he set a new league record for tackles with 130 and was selected as the CFL Most Outstanding Defensive Player. Despite standing just 5-foot-10, the 2006 graduate of Pullman (Wash.) High School won the Buchanan Award as a senior at EWU, and finished with 432 career tackles his 47-game career (35 as a starter).
"There is a lot of self-motivation and leadership to go from average to good and from good to great," said Baldwin. "The development of players that we've had here is not just a compliment to the coaches, but a compliment to their experienced teammates because they demonstrate to other players how to develop. It's not just about the three months of the season – it's 365 days a year."
Entire Coaching Career Spent at Eastern or Central .
. .
A 1996 graduate of Central Washington, Baldwin's entire 22-year career as a player and coach has been spent at either CWU or EWU. His record in 20 seasons as a collegiate coach is 147-85-1 (.633) with an 86-38 league mark (.694).
Baldwin first came to Eastern in 2003 and spent four seasons in EWU's program as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. After helping lead the Eagles to FCS Playoff appearances in 2004 and 2005, Baldwin led Central to the 2007 NCAA Division II Playoffs. Baldwin then returned to become EWU's 20th head football coach and lead the school in its 100th football campaign in his debut season in 2008. He followed that 6-5 season with an 8-4 record and a FCS playoff berth in 2009.
In his debut season, Eastern ranked seventh nationally in passing (299.9 per game) and 23rd in total offense (398.5). Individually, national awards candidates Greg Peach and Matt Nichols led the way. Peach, who would go on to win the Buchanan Award given to the top defensive player in the FCS, led the nation in sacks (1.64 per game) and tackles for loss (2.1). Nichols, a candidate for the Payton Award given to the top offensive player, ranked fifth in total offense (306.9) and sixth in passing offense (299.4).
That team finished 6-5 overall and 5-3 in the Big Sky Conference, and set the tone for what the Eagles would accomplish in 2009.
Eastern finished the 2009 season 8-4 and advanced to the playoffs for the fourth time in six seasons. The Eagles finished as the runner-up in the Big Sky Conference with a 6-2 mark, winning their last four regular season games by a combined 172-107 margin. Fighting injuries and fatigue from the long season, Eastern's run came to an end with a 44-33 playoff loss at Stephen F. Austin.
The Eagles finished the season ranked 13th in the final NCAA FCS Sports Network Poll, and was also ranked 13th in the FCS Coaches poll and the AGS/anygivensaturday.com poll.
In the magical 2010 season, the Eagles won their final 11 games and won the league title with a 7-1 Big Sky Conference record. Thousands of Eastern fans were on hand for the title game in Frisco, Texas, and thousands more watched the victory over Delaware via a national broadcast on ESPN2.
"In that type of ballgame against an incredibly talented and great Delaware team, it came down to those guys on the field," said Baldwin of his squad, which included just two senior starters on offense and four more on defense. "Those guys just never quit fighting."
"Winning the championship means a ton for Eastern Washington University as a whole, and it means a lot for the community of Cheney, the City of Spokane, and so many supporters," Baldwin explained. "And it means a lot to a lot of people that were in Frisco supporting us. It was so electrifying to drive into the parking lot at the stadium and see all our fans all in red tailgating and having fun. That gave us energy and gave us a spark, and it was exciting to see. I just want to thank everyone for that support, because like I said, it's huge, and there are so many people that have allowed us to be in this position."
As a result, Baldwin was honored nationally as the College Sporting News Coach of the Year and the American Football Monthly Coach of the Year. He was also a Liberty Mutual FCS Coach of the Year finalist, as well as for the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award presented by The Sports Network.
He was also honored regionally by the Inland Northwest Sportswriters and Broadcasters (SWABS) as Coach of the Year. Baldwin was only the fifth Eastern coach to be recognized in the more than 60-year history of the awards, which were first presented in 1948. Previous Eastern coaches honored were football coaches Dave Holmes (1967) and Dick Zornes (1992), as well as wrestling coach Curt Byrnes (1977) and basketball coach Ray Giacoletti (2004).
The Eagles were selected as the "Sports Story of the Year" at the prestigious 77th Annual Sports Star of the Year presented by Root Sports in Seattle, Wash. The team was also honored by SWABS as Team of the Year, marking only the second time an Eastern team has been honored since the awards were first presented in 1948. The 1967 football team, which was the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) runner-up that season, was the only other team to be honored.
And besides the awards and many speaking engagements that came as a result of the title, Baldwin was given the opportunity on April 9, 2011, to throw out the ceremonial first pitch for his favorite boyhood baseball team, the Seattle Mariners. A three-year letter winner as a baseball player and a quarterback in high school, Baldwin threw a perfect strike at Safeco Field in Seattle, Wash.
Thanks to Mitchell's Arm, Eagles Finish 8-0 on
New Red Turf in 2010 . . .
Baldwin and the Eagles finished a perfect 8-0 in 2010 on the new red Sprinturf surface at Roos Field (formerly Woodward Field) in Cheney, Wash. The red surface – the first of its kind – was funded by private donations, including a $500,000 gift by former Eagle offensive lineman and current Tennessee Titan Michael Roos. Three of the victories at the "Inferno" were in the FCS Playoffs as EWU defeated Southeast Missouri State 37-17, edged North Dakota State 38-31 in overtime and advanced to the title tilt with a 41-31 win over defending champion Villanova in the semifinals.
Thanks to the tutelage of Baldwin, Bo Levi Mitchell passed for 302 yards and three touchdowns to earn Most Outstanding Player accolades in the championship game as EWU rallied from a 19-0 deficit. Mitchell is from Katy, Texas, and transferred to EWU from Southern Methodist University following the 2009 season. He now plays for the Calgary Stampeders in the Canadian Football League.
Mitchell completed 29-of-43 passes and directed EWU on scoring drives of 80 (5 plays), 89 (14 plays) and 63 yards (8 plays) – all in the final 16:48 of the game. Eastern won six games in the 2010 season when it trailed or was tied in the fourth quarter. But the magical championship game victory was by far the largest deficit the Eagles faced in those six games, and the most gratifying.
"It's not so much magical as it's just a lot of guys believing in each other even in the toughest of situations," said Baldwin of the comebacks. "That's the key. You can't stop believing no matter how grim it feels, otherwise you'll never have a chance to operate in those situations."
For the season, Mitchell completed 59.4 percent of his passes for 3,496 yards (then fifth in school history), a school-record 37 touchdowns, 15 interceptions and a passing efficiency rating of 135.8. In NCAA Football Championship Subdivision statistics, he finished ranked 20th in passing offense (233.1 yards per game), 26th in total offense (236.2) and 26th in efficiency (135.8). Mitchell also broke school records for attempts (505) and completions (300).
Eastern ended the 2010 season ranked No. 1 in both FCS polls, and entered the 2011 season ranked that way as well.
But Baldwin's 2011 squad was ravaged by injuries and missed the playoffs despite six victories in the last seven games of the season. Facing an extremely difficult early-season schedule, the Eagles opened the season by nearly defeating Washington of the Pac-12 Conference before falling 30-27. That performance actually solidified Eastern as the No. 1-ranked team in FCS.
But injuries began to pile up – a total of 14 starters (seven on each side of the ball) suffered injuries that kept them out of the lineup, including seven lost for the season. However, the Eagles responded from the injuries and a 0-4 start to record yet another winning season. In fact, EWU has now had 16 winning seasons in its last 18 campaigns (1996-2013).
Despite the injuries, Mitchell went on to win the 2011 Walter Payton Award presented by The Sports Network to the top player in the NCAA Championship Subdivision.
Coaches Top Four Quarterbacks in School History . .
While at Eastern, Baldwin has coached four of the greatest quarterbacks in NCAA FCS history – Erik Meyer (2002-2005), Matt Nichols (2006-2009), Bo Levi Mitchell (2010-11) and Vernon Adams Jr. (2012-present). At Central, Baldwin coached three of its all-time greats – NFL veteran Jon Kitna, current Eastern assistant coach Zak Hill and Mike Reilly.
By the time his career concludes, the multi-dimensional Adams should own all of EWU's passing and total offense records. He enters his junior season with 7,902 yards of total offense already, including 6,955 yards and 75 touchdowns passing and another 947 yards and 5 TDs on the ground.
Most importantly, he has earned Baldwin's respect, particularly after a record-breaking 2013 campaign that saw Adams become the ninth Eagle in the last 13 years to earn Big Sky Conference Player of the Year accolades. Adams set school and Big Sky records with the fourth-best passing efficiency rating all-time in FCS history – 183.13 – with 4,994 yards, 55 touchdowns, a 65.6 percent completion rate and just 15 interceptions.
"I don't want to take anything away from players like Erik Meyer, Matt Nichols and Bo Levi Mitchell, but Vernon's season was the best I've seen since I've been a college football coach," said Baldwin. "He worked hard to improve his skills as a quarterback, such as how he is going to beat the blitz and how he is going throw down the field with things crashing around him. Plus the little things, like how he's going to lead. He's taken a lot of hits and has had times when his body isn't feeling great, but he's played through it. The ride isn't even close to being over in our minds in terms of the growth we can make as a team and Vernon's growth as a quarterback. His mindset is that he wants to keep getting better and there is still a very high ceiling he can go after."
Mitchell won the 2011 Walter Payton Award presented by The Sports Network to the top player in the NCAA Championship Subdivision. In 2011, Mitchell led the FCS in four categories, including passing yards (4,009) and touchdown passes (33) on his way to breaking four school records. He broke EWU's record for single season passing yards with 4,009, which ranked 17th in FCS history and fifth in Big Sky Conference history at the time. He led EWU to a 19-7 record in two years – the most wins in back-to-back seasons of any starter in school history until Adams broke it with a 20-4 record as a starter from 2012-13.
As a team in 2011, the Eagles were first in FCS in passing with an average of 368.5 per game, and were sixth overall in total offense (447.4) and 22nd in scoring (32.4).
"He really had an amazing career here," said Baldwin. "It's a compliment to his work ethic and his ability to pick-up a new system. He had the talent and basically just evolved within our system and kept getting better. Even though our 2011 record wasn't what we wanted, he kept finding a way to improve and get better every week all the way until the end of the season. That says a lot about his mentality, his competitiveness and his overall drive."
In 2009, Nichols earned prestigious first team NCAA Football Championship Subdivision All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association, as well as three other All-America honors. He finished fourth in the voting for the Payton Award given to the top player in the FCS, and was also the Big Sky's Offensive Player of the Year for the second time in his career.
He broke 14 school records and six Big Sky Conference marks in his 47-game career (45 as a starter) before playing in the East-West Shrine Game and signing a free agent contract with the Dallas Cowboys (he is now with Edmonton in the CFL). He passed for 3,830 yards and 33 touchdowns as a senior, giving him a total of 12,616 yards and 96 touchdowns in his career. At the time, his career yardage total ranked sixth in FCS history and his touchdown total was 10th. Nichols never missed a game or practice in his collegiate career.
"It just shows his toughness and longevity," said Baldwin. "A record like that shows a lot of things. A lot of players have talent but get hurt along the way, or this or that, but Matt was constant and was one of those guys week-in and week-out who just brought it. He deserved the records – he worked hard to get them and I am really proud of him."
Nichols completed a career-best 65 percent of his passes in 2009 to give him a passing efficiency rating of 156.5 to rank eighth in the FCS. He was fifth in total offense (327.7 per game) and third in passing offense (319.2). As a team, the Eagles finished the 2009 season ranked in the top 10 in four offensive categories in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, including passing (3rd, 321.3), total offense (4th, 462.2), scoring (8th, 33.7) and passing efficiency (4th, 154.5).
As a junior in 2008 – Baldwin's first season as EWU's head coach – Nichols earned honorable mention All-BSC honors as he ranked sixth nationally in passing (299.4) and fifth in total offense (306.9). Eastern ranked seventh nationally in passing (299.9 per game) and 23rd in total offense (398.5).
Nichols had a school-record 17 interceptions as a freshman when a youthful Eastern team finished just 3-8. In that learning season, Eastern was 75th in the FCS in total offense (310.3 yards per game), 34th in passing (201.9) and 77th in scoring (19.5). The following season, a more experienced EWU team advanced to the 2007 FCS Playoffs as Nichols won Big Sky Conference Offensive Player of the Year honors and threw a school-record 34 touchdown passes.
"He helped improve my mechanics, my footwork and my accuracy," Nichols said of Baldwin. "He took me from being a high school quarterback and helped me become a college quarterback. He's a great coach."
In 2004 and 2005 with Baldwin as coordinator, Eastern had one of the best offenses in the nation thanks to the arm and legs of Meyer. In 2005, the Eagles averaged 477.8 yards per game to rank fourth nationally, and were 13th in scoring (35.0). A year earlier, the Eagles averaged 475.5 yards (fourth) and 37.5 points per game (sixth). Eastern also ranked in the top 10 nationally both years in passing offense and passing efficiency.
Meyer had 84 touchdown passes with just 17 interceptions in his career to set a FCS record for passing efficiency (166.47). The All-American broke 14 school records and two Big Sky marks as he was twice selected as the league's Offensive Player of the Year before winning the Payton Award as the top player in the FCS.
In Baldwin's first season at EWU in 2003, the Eagles ranked 28th in FCS in scoring (31.27) and were 47th in offense (380.0).
"Our success at quarterback is partially because of us seeing attributes in players that others did not see as much," Baldwin explained. "I didn't recruit Erik Meyer, but I was able to be here when he was still raw and untapped and developing as a quarterback. There is a lot of diligence required in developing players and teaching them how to continue to develop on their own. They need to do the right thing even when coaches are not looking, whether it is film study, extra footwork or whatever else it might be. I think that is part of the process.
"Even when Bo Levi Mitchell came from SMU there was a developmental process that took place with him," he continued. "Obviously, Coach Zak Hill has a huge impact on that. He does a lot of the same things I was doing here at Eastern when I was quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator with Erik and at the beginning of Matt Nichols' career. You can't just toss a ball and say go throw for three hundred yards. Some of the little individual things and small details are lost in some places, but that is something we don't lose here. That is true at other positions as well, but it has definitely showed up at quarterback."
Baldwin Takes Over Highly-Successful Program From
Paul Wulff . . .
Baldwin took over an Eastern football program that advanced to the FCS Playoffs three out of the previous four seasons under Paul Wulff, who left Eastern in December 2007 for the head coaching position at Washington State University. Eastern was 9-4 in 2007 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the playoffs behind an offense that included sophomore starter Matt Nichols at quarterback and three sophomore starters at wide receiver.
At the same time, Baldwin was guiding Central Washington to a nearly identical successful season.
In 2007, both the Eagles and Wildcats finished the season among the top eight teams in their respective classifications. On Nov. 24, 2007, the Wildcats scored two touchdowns in the final 2:49 to upset previously undefeated and top-seeded Nebraska-Omaha 20-17 in the second round. In the quarterfinals on Dec. 1, Central lost to No. 1 ranked and two-time defending champion Grand Valley State 41-21.
On those very same days in the FCS Playoffs, Eastern had a similar fate. The Eagles opened the playoffs on Nov. 24 by handing second-seeded and No. 3 ranked McNeese State its first loss of the season with an overwhelming 44-15 victory. Eastern was then edged 38-35 by two-time defending champion Appalachian State in the quarterfinals on Dec. 1.
The Wildcats averaged 398.5 yards of total offense per game in 2007, including an average of 263.5 passing. Central averaged 31.4 points per game, including five games with at least 40 points.
Baldwin's quarterback was Mike Reilly, who was one of 24 national candidates for the Harlon Hill Trophy as the top player in Division II football. He earned All-Region honors after completing 62 percent of his passes for 3,386 yards, 30 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions for a passing efficiency rating of 145.8.
Baldwin, a quarterback himself at CWU and a former teammate of NFL starter Jon Kitna, watched from 2 1/2 hours away in Ellensburg, Wash., as Eastern and Nichols produced similar statistics in 2007. The Eagles finished the season with an average of 462.3 yards of offense per game (sixth in FCS), including 295.4 passing (eighth).
Two-Time Team Captain Was Backup Behind NFL Standout
Jon Kitna . . .
Before coming to EWU, Baldwin spent seven seasons and nine overall at CWU with positions as quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator. A 1996 graduate of CWU, he served seven years under head coach John Zamberlin, a former EWU assistant coach who later became head coach at Idaho State.
A former Wildcat quarterback from 1990-93, Baldwin passed along his knowledge to two of the greatest quarterbacks in CWU history en route to two of the school's best-ever seasons. He was quarterbacks coach in 1994-95 when All-American Jon Kitna was in Ellensburg, leading CWU to a 10-3-1 record and the NAIA Championship in 1995. The Wildcats also advanced to the NAIA Playoffs in 1998.
Baldwin also coached All-American Zak Hill – now an assistant coach at EWU – as the Wildcats finished the 2002 season 11-1. Central ranked fifth in NCAA Division II before losing in the first round of the playoffs.
In six of his nine seasons at CWU, the Wildcats led their conference in passing and were at least second in scoring and total offense. In 2002, Central ranked second in NCAA Division II in passing offense (315 yards per game) and was fourth in total offense (465) and 11th in scoring (36.8).
As a player, Baldwin was a two-time team captain and completed 121-of-197 passes for 1,655 yards and eight touchdowns. His career completion percentage of .614 is a school record. In a 38-35 win versus Simon Fraser in 1991, he set single-game school records for attempts (52), completions (32), yards (467), total plays (66) and total yards (550). He had a 6-yard touchdown pass with four seconds left to give the Wildcats the win.
A year later, Baldwin came off the bench to lead CWU to the greatest fourth-quarter comeback in Columbia Football Association history. He completed 21-of-33 passes for 222 yards as the Wildcats scored 26 points in the final quarter to overcome a 28-3 deficit and defeat Eastern Oregon 29-28.
Nearly 20 years later, Baldwin found himself with a headset on in similar situations in the FCS Playoffs. In a 38-31 overtime victory in the quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs against North Dakota State on Dec. 11, 2010, the Eagles put together a 13-play, 90-yard drive to knot the score with 23 seconds to play. Eastern, which won six games during the 2010 season when it trailed or was tied in the fourth quarter, was in a 19-0 hole in the NCAA Division I Championship Game in Frisco, Texas, on Jan. 7, 2011. But Baldwin's "calm intensity," as his long-time assistant John Graham calls it, helped result in three EWU touchdowns in its final three possessions as the Eagles beat Delaware 20-19 for the national title.
Baldwin was a backup to Kitna in his final two seasons as a collegiate player, then spent a short time playing semi-pro football in Sweden. He played in a league that allowed only two American players each, and they were also required to serve as assistant coaches, thus giving Baldwin the new opportunity of creating plays and a game plan. Upon his return to the United States, Baldwin then coached Kitna for two more seasons, including the national title year in 1995. Kitna went on to play 15 seasons in the National Football League, with stops in Seattle, Cincinnati, Detroit and Dallas.
The 1995 Central team was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame in 2005, and the 2002 squad followed in 2013.

FORGET Crème de la Mer, Crème de la bleach may be next on your bathroom shelf. It seems that diluted bleach inhibits inflammation, which may help protect skin from radiation therapy and even natural ageing.
Don't try it at home, but doctors have known for decades that bathing in diluted bleach alleviates eczema. "But no one really knew why," says Thomas Leung, at Stanford University in California. Many thought its antimicrobial properties kept the skin clean, and therefore less irritated. "But the solution doctors use is so dilute that it isn't fully antiseptic," Leung says. The typical concentration used is weaker than that found in swimming pool water.
Leung thinks bleach may also stem inflammation and suspected the involvement of NF-kB – a protein that triggers recruitment of inflammatory cells to an infection. So his team exposed human skin cells to a solution containing 0.005 per cent bleach for an hour. Hypochlorite, the active chemical in bleach, plucked electrons off a molecule that activates NF-kB, putting it out of action and totally inhibiting the inflammatory pathway.
Leung's team then explored using the solution on mice with a sunburn-like irritation that can accompany radiotherapy. They also tested it on healthy old mice with ageing skin.
The mice waded in a dilute bleach bath for 30 minutes a day over 10 days. "We called it their spa treatment," says Leung. Those that bathed in the solution had milder, faster-healing burns after radiation treatment than those who took water baths. That's important, Leung says, because people often have to suspend their radiotherapy to let burns heal. The old mice also saw benefits: those exposed to bleach had increased skin cell production, resulting in thicker, younger-looking skin (Journal of Clinical Investigation, doi.org/p46).

What's On This Week
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
Sunday, July 5, 2015
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
From All Movie Guide: The director behind The Full Monty (1997), Peter Cattaneo was responsible for one of the biggest sleeper hits of the 1990s. A comedy about a group of out-of-work Sheffield steel workers who take to stripping to earn money, the film mixed broad humor with a candid look at the bleak effects of post-Thatcherite unemployment, and did so with enough skill to win over critics and audiences alike. It earned $195 million worldwide, a more than respectable gross for a film that was shot over 40 days for around $3.5 million. Born in England in 1964, Cattaneo first became involved with directing while a student at the Royal College of Art, where he made an award-winning music video, a commercial for Miller Lite, and Dear Rosie, a live action short that earned a 1990 Oscar nomination. Following his 1989 graduation, Cattaneo began directing for television, helming a series with titles such as "Diary of a Teenage Health Freak" and "The Full Wax." In 1995, he directed Loved Up, a BBC Screen Two film that was broadcast on television. Starring Lena Headey and Ian Hart, it was a drama about an 18-year-old waitress (Headey) who becomes involved with a young raver (Hart) who introduces her to ecstasy and drug dealing. Shortly after making Loved Up, Cattaneo received the script for The Full Monty and, drawn both to its obvious humor and more serious economic undertones, immediately set about getting it made into a film. Its ensuing commercial success and four Oscar nominations -- including Best Director and Best Picture -- established Cattaneo as one of the film industry's most exciting new players. In 2000, he embarked on a follow-up project, Lucky Break. A comedy about a group of inmates who stage a musical to cover up their escape, it was treated with eager expectation by fans of the Cattaneo's previous work. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

Final Score: Idaho 90, Texas State 81
San Marcos, TX (Sports Network) - Kyle Barone tallied 26 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks as the Idaho Vandals outlasted the Texas State Bobcats, 90-81, in Western Athletic Conference action at Strahan Coliseum.
Barone shot 12-of-17 from the field and notched his 15th double-double of the season for Idaho (11-17, 6-11 WAC), which has won two of three. Connor Hill connected on 5-of-7 from 3-point range for 22 points, Stephen Madison shot 10- of-12 from the foul line for 20 points and Mansa Habeeb netted 13 points.
Matt Staff led the way with 22 points for Texas State (9-20, 4-12). Deonte' Jones and Joel Wright had 12 points apiece for the home team, while Reid Koenen and Phil Hawkins each netted 11.
Idaho shot a lofty 56.7 percent from the field in the first half as it took a 41-39 lead into intermission. Texas State shot 46.4 percent in the opening stanza and kept the game close by piecing together impressive showings from 3- point range (5-of-9) and the foul line (8-of-8).
The Vandals continued their hot field goal shooting in the second half (.542) and they never relinquished their lead.
Idaho won the rebounding battle, 38-28, and outscored Texas State in the paint, 44-34.
