text:
Walter Byers controlled every decision made by the NCAA throughout his tenure there, but he did it from behind the scenes where he could operate in secret.
Secrecy is not always proof of negative behavior, but it certainly allows any corruption to fluorish. A child keeps his activities secret from his parents if concerned they will say "no" if asked for permission. If he is repeatedly successful at this secrecy, he will likely get into trouble before the parents are aware of problems. In contrast, honest people with no hidden agenda don't mind the light of awareness to shine on their activities and are willing to accept a delay in self-gratification.
Perhaps the most revealing information about Walter Byers' leadership style is summed up by his second wife Betty Byers, as quoted by Don Yaeger:
"He loved to read. His favorite book? Oh, it had to be The Godfather, well, he read it several times. I think we had to buy him a new copy because he enjoyed it so much. He would always go back and read portions again, check on it over and over. I really think that it fascinated him. I really feel that part of his personality, too, is that he wondered HOW the Mafia really worked and was kind of fascinated by how strong or how powerful the Mafia could be. I think he wondered how someone could become that powerful. He saw something of himself in that. Reading The Godfather, I think that had something to do with power. I mean, his office or the whole NCAA was run rather like the FBI. You just got that feeling. Yes, I think that tells you a lot about Walter Byers."
Betty Byers didn't wish to use the word "paranoid" to describe her ex-husband, preferring a "fear of being vulnerable." As such, he registered in hotels under an assumed name, refused to allow anyone to give out his home phone number and gave interviews only rarely, preventing most people from knowing what he looked like. And as Mrs. Byers stated, "You know, it's a little hard to live with someone that doesn't ever forgive and forget." Indeed, Walter Byers was exactly the kind of person who finds solace in power plays and control methods espoused by crime families and dictatorships.
As one of many examples how Walter Byers obtained power was the booklet he wrote to govern his office staff. The "NCAA Office Policies and Procedures" evolved into a tome in excess of 100 pages and could best be described as micromanagement. Everything from a dress code to the times one could open the office blinds was included. This booklet remained secret within the organization, and each person's copy had to be returned to the NCAA once he or she left the organization.
Texas' Donna Lopiano is quoted by Don Yaeger as saying, "Byers only hired people who would tolerate unquestioned obedience to rules...Walter didn't want human beings. He wanted robots."
Few people ever said negative things about Walter Byers because they knew there would be reprisals. As Jack McCallum wrote, "Byers has achieved something most corporate managers can only dream about: an office staff that does not whisper about him at the water fountain. Of course, under his buttoned-down, over-regulated, nose-to-the-grindstone administration, Byers has a staff that wouldn't dare whisper at the water fountain."
Walter Byers didn't use executions like some crime families, but a significant implied threat to his staff and the NCAA membership was there nonetheless. Those who are fans of The Godfather and numerous other stories about crime families can recognize many similar behaviors within the NCAA. Everything Byers did was to consolidate more power for himself and his organization. Nevada congressman Jim Santini is quoted by Jack McCallum as having "a J. Edgar Hoover-like impression" of the NCAA. "He (Byers) marches to his own drummer, and anybody who gets out of step in terms of his system, internally or externally, could find themselves on the Byers list."
The "Godfather" of college sports eliminated all competition, one by one. The Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), The Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) were either eliminated or weakened by his actions, and he didn't care how much damage he needed to do to gain control.
For example, he kept U. S. teams weak internationally in order to destroy the AAU. He wouldn't let any NCAA athletes compete in AAU-sponsored events, forcing the United States Olympic Committee to field somewhat inferior teams at Olympics. Theoretically, he may also have sought vengence against Avery Brundage or at least enjoyed the role reversal. Byers claimed he was merely protecting the athletes from the possibility of professionalism, but he consolidated his power this way.
After Congress passed Title IX in 1972, AIAW leaders asked Byers for an equal vote (one man and one woman for each school) within the NCAA, and they negotiated their own television contracts for women's championships. Byers responded by demanding they close down and join the NCAA with no vote for women. Obviously, there was an impasse.
Over the next six years, the NCAA began scheduling its events at the same time as the AIAW championships. In order to attract converts from the AIAW (up to then schools had a choice as to which organization to belong), the NCAA began offering schools all-expenses-paid. In the first year, the NCAA lost $2.5 million, but it had the financial clout to make it work. Eventually, the AIAW disbanded in favor of the NCAA. As some crime family bosses are fond of saying, "It's nothing personal, it's just business."

As most supporters will be aware, the Club has recently launched a campaign to highlight the serious nature of fans persistently standing at matches and the possible serious consequences we face from the authorities (such as having part or even all of White Hart Lane closed) should we not do something to prevent it.
The Club would like to thank the large number of fans who have contacted the Club, supporting us for taking this stance as they wish to sit during matches but are forced to stand as the people around them stand. These include children who can't see the match and senior citizens who aren't able to stand for long periods.
We recognise that the game is exciting and that at various points in a match fans will stand, but we must make every effort to prevent persistent standing to ensure the maximum enjoyment for supporters.

Our lawn was severely damaged from harsh weather, so I took this chance to try fixing it for good after almost one year of postponing myself. I had them seed and treat the lawn pretty much from scratch and once the results started showing, I wasn't disappointed. I was also surprised it wasn't very expensive, if I knew sooner I wouldn't have postponed it so much. Recommended!

One Year Women of the Bible by Dianne Neal Matthews
Book DescriptionEach devotional in The One Year Women of the Bible focuses on a woman in the Bible and a woman today. You'll hear the perspective of faithful women like Sarah, Elizabeth, and Abigail along with the less faithful women, such as Jezebel. You'll also read about everyday contemporary women struggling with busyness and commitment to God. Dianne Matthews masterfully transitions to the scriptural account of a woman in the Bible who faced a similar story or issue and brings readers the spiritual lessons and direction to apply to our own lives.

Oh yes and how long did it take to get to 1.2?
It took about 4-6 weeks my levels to come down from 6.0 to 1.2 the first time.
I take my thyroxine first thing in the morning, mostly because DH pills me like a dog before he goes to work and I don't wake up for at least an hour after he leaves.
I was advised to do IVF/ICSI at around 12 months TTC, not solely due to hypothyroidism, but because DH had anti-sperm antibodies (which have allegedly disappeared now). I have rather severe 'privacy' issues which has made it incredibly difficult to proceed with treatment, and to date I've only gotten as far as the IVF consult before I ran screaming for the hills. I also have other health issues that are complicating matters, however if I didn't have all these issues, I would have started IVF straight away.
Double post
Magic mud you have been so helpful thankyou!
I'm scared that the thyroid will stop me conceiving my second. I think I will go see a fs if we have no luck by April trying to conceive, and I'm sure he will suggest Ivf, which I will do. I will do anything to have a sibling for my ds. April will have been six months for us. I'm 39 so I'm just scared!
You're welcome Lucky, happy to be of some sort of help.
Totally understand your fear of not conceiving, I hope that your TSH is the only thing holding you back. If I may suggest though, I'd be getting a referral now and booking in advance as some clinics can have a ridiculously long waiting list.
If your issue is just lack of ovulation, you may not even need to do IVF. Ovulation induction might do the trick.
That's a good point, I was seeing a doc at one of the clinics for my first pregnancy as I had two miscarriages, we didn't have to wait long to see him but I will enquire.
Well I rang them and the new patient enquiries agreed I should come in and see my old doc. I need a referral from my gp though, do you think it would be insulting to her to ask for one because she is happy to treat me with thyroxine. I have an appointment for the 4th February.
I don't think your GP would be insulted at all. Is it a Fertility Specialist you are going to see (the doc who treated you during your pregnancy?). FS's can do a lot more than GP's can. GP's can't prescribe clomid/letrozole or anything like that, so if that's what your next step would be, you'd have to see an FS anyway.
It's a fertility specialist who I would see, he treated me for the first eight weeks of my last pregnancy. Luckily we now have a healthy bub, but I'm keen to get started on the second. I'll need a referral from my doc though.

Fall is here, with its pumpkin spice lattes, tailgate parties, chunky sweaters—and heftier utility bills, which promise to climb even higher once winter sets in.
If you're a homeowner, you're used to striving to make your living space as energy-efficient as possible this time of the year. But if you rent, your situation might be different, since you have less control over making energy-efficient changes. Renters generally can't add insulation or upgrade their windows, for example, unless management gives them the okay and they shell out for it themselves.
More and more people are finding themselves in this predicament because renting is on the rise: The share of U.S. households that rent increased from 36% in 2006 to 41% in 2014 (the most recent year for which figures are available).
That means more households are at the mercy of the decisions their landlords have made when it comes to paying their energy bills.
Yet with utility bills averaging about 18% of the typical month's rent (it's likely higher in fall and winter), renters have a strong incentive to reduce their outlay. These cheap tricks tackle the energy gobblers in your rental without requiring changes your landlord might balk at—and they're super tips that can help homeowners conserve energy and cash as well.
Plug Into a Smarter Power Strip
Ever heard of "vampire electricity?" It's created when plugged-in appliances continue to draw energy, even when they are not in use. (Phone chargers, we're looking at you.) But other culprits include small kitchen appliances, TVs and computers. An easy solution, explains Jacob Bayer, CEO of Luminext, a consulting company that helps businesses lower their energy bills, is to use a power strip that you can switch off on your way out the door.
An even easier option is a "smart" power strip. Yep, these wise energy savers shut down power to products that are in standby mode, so you don't even have to flip them off. They're available in big-box and hardware stores and run $25 to $30 each.
Give Your Appliances a Tune Up
Be sure that all of your household machines are functioning properly, suggests Bayer, and if not, see about getting a repair person in. If your fridge door doesn't seal properly, for example, you could be paying for all that cold air that's leaking out.
Check your appliance settings to make sure that your refrigerator and freezer are at their optimal temperature—39 to 40 degrees for the fridge; 0 to 0.4 degrees for the freezer. And adjust your water heater to about 120 degrees to save on the cost of heating the water. "Lowering the temperature means that water costs less to heat, but don't go below 120 degrees, as some bacteria can grow at lower temperatures," advises Jay Best, founder and president of Green Audit USA.
Another easy fix is to avoid running your washer, dryer and dishwasher at peak times—typically noon to 7 p.m.—as some utility companies increase rates during prime time. If you set your appliances to run at night or early in the morning, you could potentially save a bundle.
Invest in a Wi-Fi Thermostat
If you have an adjustable thermostat, consider getting a Wi-Fi thermostat like Nest that adjusts to the weather as well as your habits, keeping your place at a comfy temperature automatically—without busting your budget. "Not only do they look cool, but you get a much greater degree of control over when your heating and cooling systems are kicking in," Best says. Nest will set you back about $250, but think of it as an investment—and you can…

With these tools (many of which are included in this list), students are placed in charge of their learning. They engage in meaningful self-reflection, highlight according to criteria, and use academic language to critique their own work. The shift is significant. With Google tools, I can provide ongoing feedback while my students showcase digital responsibility and revise throughout the writing process.

Thanks for helping!
Surroundings and ambience delightful. Service first rate. Choice on menu excellent. Food - first class. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Well done.
We had a light lunch in the early afternoon.
We had well filled baguettes and a bowl of home made chips.
Both were very nice, beef and horseradish and chicken and bacon.
A fellow diner had a full lunch and I noted he had very generous portions of vegetables and potato's , his main course was quite substantial.
The staff...
Stayed at the hotel and thought we'd try it out for dinner - fantastic! Very friendly staff, delicious (and generously sized) courses, featuring a good selection of options, many of which are local. Good value. The dining area is wonderful, decorated with hops, with wood panelling and a roaring fire. Would recommend.
We visited here for Sunday lunch. Despite it being very busy, we were quickly shown to our table and attended promptly. Wide range of food - we opted for the roast. The food arrived quickly and was piping hot. Same with pudding (proper pudding as well!!)
£65 3 people / 2 courses incl drinks.
Staff great. Great atmosphere.
Thoroughly recommended
We visit on average once/ twice a month to eat and have never been disappointed.
The atmosphere is lovely and relaxed.
not the cheapest but the Food is a very high standard always enough and well presented
. No pressure to rush or leave considering how busy it always is .
Staff and service very high standard.
Would advise booking...
Yet another fab meal here. Food was lovely as always. Great choice. Service was fab Thank you to you all
Lovely place with good english food and really nice staff! The atmosphere is warm and cozy with a lot of history!
We were looking for somewhere different to eat and we decided to visit the Kings Arms Hotel. We had been before but not for a while. We were not disappointed the food and service was very good. If you haven't been before or have been before it's worth a visits. We will be going back again.
We went there for lunch. This place has such a cosy feeling to it, at this time of year and also has a lovely garden for the summer months. They have a lovely menu selection and today I had steak and kidney pudding, which was amazing, as was the ham, egg and chips. Lovely staff too :-)
We tried to book for a meal on the day - a Saturday! As you might expect, they were fully booked. However, they very kindly phoned me to say we could have a table in the upstairs function room. Whilst this might not be ideal if there were two of you, it was perfect for us as we had plenty...
