Academics and College Football
I've thought about what I said in the previous thread and realized my statements have been slightly unclear. I'll try to restate this in a way to spur the discussion and correct my own inconsistencies.
Key Issues:
1. The NCAA is THE minor league for the NFL.
2. There are minimum academic standards to get into the NCAA football establishment.
3. Michigan minimums = NCAA minimums.
Key Assumptions:
1. Admitted athletes go to class and are academically engaged at an appropriate level.
2. Athletics, whether or not it is explicitly outlined in the mission statement, is a HUGE focus for top universities. The school/AD spent $225M to renovate a hole in the ground so people have a nice place to watch football 6-8 days a year.
3. People acknowledge that in order to be an athletic powerhouse AND a top academic school, typical admission standards need to be compromised.
My points of contention with the current system and questions I ask posters to address:
1. While Michigan is not a vocational school, there is no vocational school for football players. One doesn't need a university degree to be a plumber, just to be excellent at plumbing (and pass trade school). Why SHOULD football be different?
2. There are arbitrary standards from the NCAA on academic qualification (GPA, SAT/ACT). Schools are free to set their own at higher levels. However, since the NCAA is the de facto gateway to the NFL, people seeking a career in a physical discipline are forced to meet intellectual standards. Is a non-qualifier better off struggling to jump through (totally unrelated to their intended pursuit) hoops at a community college or at a school with vast resources where they can pursue their desired career in a mutually beneficial way?
3. Referencing assumption 3, admission standards are already compromised. In effect, by even allowing athletes below normal admission standards, a school is clearly stating "you do not belong here, but we are making an exception because you have a certain talent". As a result, why does the degree to which an athlete is below the standard matter? A clear statement of "you don't belong here" is already present. The massive hypocrisy is astounding. Athletes are actively recruited to join a university, at which point they are immediately branded 2nd-class citizens of the institution. A university does NOT have to do this, they do so because it is a very beneficially endeavor for itself. This leaves a final choice: no athletic scholarships and be like Ivies, continued, institutionally sponsored hypocrisy, or acceptance of reality and restructure the student-athlete concept to be more equitable?
Self-Test: Recruiting
Multiple Choice (Choose all the apply)
Question 1: How do I deal with Michigan recruits dropping places in the rankings?
A) Bitch about them dropping for being already committed.
B) Fret about not having any top 100 recruits in May.
C) Get enraged that Rivals sucks at ranking players and isn't fair, then shamefully realize my last post was demeaning Rich Rod for offering 'middle of road' WRs, where middle of the road is determined using rankings like Rivals. Oops.
D) Point out RR track record in excelling with recruits that are low ranked, and hell, it's only fucking May, these kids are juniors in high school and this addiction is borderline pedophilia even to the greeks/spartans (the ancient ones, not the rollerbladin' brahs in the EL).
E) Just D.
Question 2: How do I communicate my feelings about reduced rankings to said recruits?
A) MySpace. Immediately. I'm friends with them all.
B) Facebook wallposts. It makes me feel connected to 16/17 year old freak athletes I have nothing in common with.
C) What are MySpace and Facebook?
D) Whooaa, people actually friend recruits and then talk to them? That's really fucking creepy.
E) http://pedobear.org/
F) Do I get extra credit for interviewing recruits?
Question 3: My next post on recruiting will be about -
A) How Scout is better than Rivals because they rank current Michigan recruits higher.
B) How Star Ratings don't matter because Pat White.
C) How Star Ratings don't matter because Kevin Grady.
D) OMG 2 mny slot recevers!!11!!!!
E) I recruit "Talent", if you know what I mean (/wink /ninjafootball).
Question 4: I spend too much time following recruiting.
A) True
B) False
Question 5: My wife would divorce me if she knew how much time I dedicated to 17 year old boys.
A) True
B) True
Question 6: I am aware that Michigan is at a huge disadvantage in recruiting to the Southern schools, and at a smaller disadvantage to OSU.
A) True
B) Fal$e
Question 7: I now realize how much better my life was before I followed recruiting. Finding out about who was recruited to Michigan only when they hit the field was much less involved.
A) True
B) I'm in Denial.
Short Answer
Question 8: In 54.7 words or less, justify how questioning Michigan's recruiting strategy (eg, questioning if RR knows he needs defensive recruits) two months into the first full cycle RR is part of (among other evidence proving it's not RRs first rodeo) does not make you some kind of reverse sycophant that is still 100% pure fail.
Kirby Line Breaks
Answer Key
1. D or E. We would also have accepted "I'm so sorry. I didn't realize."
2. C (half credit) or D (full credit)
3. Kate Beckinsale, Rachel McAdams, or Elisha Cuthbert.
4. A. We also would have accepted "I spend too much time criticizing people for following recruiting."
5. A or B.
6. Answering E$$-EEE-CEE, O$UCK$, or U$C results in immediate death by harpoon.
7. A, or if you opened up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-step_program immediately after.

Chelsea captain John Terry was named only as a substitute alongside striker Fernando Torres as Rafael Benitez made his first return to Stamford Bridge since his criticism of the Blues fans.
The reception for the match with West Brom was expected to be even more hostile than usual for interim boss Benitez, who urged the supporters to back the team following Wednesday's 2-0 FA Cup win at Middlesbrough and made seven changes, with only Petr Cech, Branislav Ivanovic, Ramires and Oscar retained.
West Brom, under former Chelsea player and coach Steve Clarke, made two changes, with Graham Dorrans in for the injured Chris Brunt and Marc-Antoine Fortune starting in place of Romelu Lukaku, who is ineligible against his parent club.
Much of the focus was on Benitez after his midweek deviation from measured politician to ranting rabble-rouser. At least that is what he claimed his intention had been.
Due to his prior association with Liverpool, Benitez's appointment was never a popular one, but he hoped the crowd would use their energies to back the team.
Banners including "The Interim One", "Not wanted, Never wanted" and "Rafa Benitez we're just not that inter im" were held up by the crowd.
The Spaniard snuck on to the home bench as the teams were presented before West Brom boss Steve Clarke, a former player and coach at Chelsea, was introduced to warm applause.
Then the expletive-laden chants began in the direction of Benitez, but there was also plenty of encouragement for the Blues players, meaning perhaps the Spaniard's comments had been heeded, at least to some extent.Reuse content

I am passionate about helping people to feel calm and confident when they speak, and then working with them to improve their presentation skills, confidence and communications with our professional management training courses so they can deliver their message in a compelling and convincing manner. I also work with individuals and groups to improve internal and external business communications resulting in more effective managers and happier customers.
The most popular course helps participants learn how to get over nerves that prevent them from speaking from the heart and portraying a professional image. They learn how to prepare a talk (within short deadlines) and what body language and voice tonality is most appropriate. We are proud to say our in-house Level 1: Presentation Skills Training has been accredited for CPD points (Continued Professional Development). Advanced presentation skills training and one to one public speaking coaching options are available.
Our management training courses help improve communications between individuals, teams and departments be they internal or external, customers or clients. Here participants can learn how to manage teams more effectively, develop their management communication skills and have an impactful presence in meetings.
Our one to one public speaking coaching course is great for those who prefer learning on a one to one basis – covering everything you need from overcoming public speaking fear to advanced presentation techniques for sales presentations and keynote speeches. So if you are ambitious to progress to the next level, but you know your presentation skills are stopping you from achieving more or if you are a nervous speaker please contact me so I can help you improve your public speaking now!
Most training courses focus largely on skill sets, they teach "things". But unless all the participants' mind-sets are open they won't implement what they know. That's why I focus on mind-set first and only then teach the skills. The result is that more participants action more of the training, meaning you get the maximum value from your investment.
Our training teaches you to be confident, clear and compelling, enabling you to give better pitches, present new ideas and radiate executive presence. Our presentation and management courses are perfect for managers, senior managers, executives, teams and those across all industries and sectors, from Banking to Building and Marketing to Manufacturing.
Kerry O'Neill, Training Manager, Toyota Motors Europe
With our effective training courses we are proud to say we've won 7 business awards for our unique, innovative and effective approach to training; including being voted as "Business Person Of The Year – East Of England" for two years running.

A heat transfer coefficient must be determined by flow conditions and physical/thermal properties of a substance. Critical to this determination will be the viscosity vs. temperature data for the diesel, which may have to be measured. Refer to Hewitt, Shires & Bott – "Process Heat Transfer" for methods to determine heat transfer coefficients.

Football and tennis have been warned that their funding is at risk after both saw a decline in participation in England.
Sport England, who distribute Lottery money to support grass-roots sport, believe tennis failed to capitalise on Andy Murray's success in winning Wimbledon. Football has fallen behind swimming, athletics/running and cycling.
There was an increase in people playing sport once a week – a rise of 206,000 since April, which means the boost provided by London 2012 has been maintained. But Sport England will hold meetings with the Football Association and Lawn Tennis Association and make a decision in January about whether to suspend up to 20 per cent of funding.
Football's numbers fell 100,000 since April and tennis, which suffered a cut in funding earlier this year, saw participation fall from 423,400 to 406,000 in six months.
Sport England's chief executive Jenni Price said: "We are very disappointed by football's results and the FA really need to grasp this." An alarming fall in young people playing sport was mostly due to the decline in football and netball.

Biogeography of Mediterranean Invasions by R. H. Groves
Book DescriptionThe Mediterranean Basin, California, Chile, the western Cape of South Africa and southern Australia share a Mediterranean climate characterized by cool wet winters and hot dry summers. These five regions have differing patterns of human settlement but similarities in natural vegetation and some faunal assemblages. The similarities are being enhanced by an increasing level of biotic exchange between the regions as time passes since European settlement in each region. This unique documentation of the introduced floras and faunas in these five regions of Mediterranean climate both increases our understanding of the ecology of biological invasions, and points the way to more effective management of the biota of these regions. This book is an initiative of a subcommittee of SCOPE (Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment) which realized that the integrity of many natural ecosystems was being threatened by the ingress of invasive species.

Elaine Hall "Coach E!" , Elaine Hall ("Coach E") has been called many things in her multi-faceted and accomplished life including:
The Founder of The Miracle Project, A consultant to The United Nations, Motivational/Inspirational Speaker, Educator, Writer, Creative Consultant, Performer, Professional Studio Acting Coach, the subject of the HBO documentary Autism: The Musical, Creator of the renowned "Kids On Stage LA" Program, and the Creator of the Vista Inspire Programs including the Nes Gadol religious studies curriculum. The New York Times reference her as "the Child Whisperer"; other global press simply call her "an original," a thought leader and cultural influencer in the niche area of Autism Program Creation and Advocacy.
Her favorite title is "Mother" to her son Neal, who continues to be her inspiration for innovating life affirming, award winning media and educational programs designed for families living with autism, Universities, first responders, government officials, and health care workers.
Ms. Hall is a sought after Keynote speaker, and workshop leader, most recently speaking at The National Autism Society Conference with international autism experts, Dr. Barry Prizant and Dr. Stephen Shore. Her keynote received a standing ovation at the Variety the Children's Charity in St. Louis. Awards include those from ASA, Autism Speaks, Areva Martin's Special Needs Network, Holly Robinson Peete's HollyRod Foundation, Senator Pavley, Etta Israel, the Shalom Institute and Villa Esperanza Services. Ms. Hall was honored by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa for boundless service to the global community of families living with autism. Referencing Ms. Hall's program, April 15, 2009, was officially proclaimed, "Miracle-Minded Autism Compassion Day. Elaine has appeared on CNN, CBS, Oprah Radio, NPR, featured in the New York Times, The Boston Globe, and The Wall Street Journal. She is a regular contributor to TheHuffingtonPost.com.
Elaine's memoir, Now I See The Moon: A Mother, A Son, A Miracle for publisher, Harper Collins was chosen by The United Nations for World Autism Awareness Month. (See: Nowiseethemoon.com). In it, Hall chronicles her journey from a being a broken single mother to becoming a recognized and dynamic force in the areas of Autism and Special needs program design and implementation.
When traditional therapies did not work for her son, Neal, adopted from a Russian orphanage and diagnosed with autism. Elaine sought creative people (actors, writers, musicians) to join his isolated world. Slowly Neal emerged into our world. These methodologies are the foundation of The Miracle Project profiled in the Emmy Award winning documentary AUTISM: The Musical.
Elaine's Miracle Project students recorded a CD ,produced by Film and TV industry pro - Diane Isaacs, with extraordinary recording artists, Holly Robinson Peete, Chaka Khan, Jack Black, Rev Run, Babyface, Kyra Sedgwick and others. Fly Into Autism celebrates the boundless Abilities of children with perceived disabilities, and reinforces Hall's Miracle Minded philosophy for life and educating. The Miracle Project students were honored at Carnegie Hall and performed live with other exceptional musicians with autism alongside celebrities Jack Black and Stephen Stills and other at benefit concerts including at the Grove in Los Angeles, Club Nokia, and recently The Pantages Theater.
Her latest book , co-authored with Diane Isaacs, Seven Keys to Unlock Autism: Creating Miracles In The Classroom is being used as text book in major universities and has received critical acclaim.
Elaine and her team are now launching The Miracle Project nationally with locations throughout Los Angeles. She is available for workshops, speaking engagements, to emcee events, phone consultations, trainings, and is a media personality. Elaine lives in Los Angeles with the two loves of her life, her adult son, Neal and her husband, Jeff Frymer, a play therapist. Email firstname.lastname@example.com or www.TheMiracleProject.org

"Humped bladderwort" may sound like something from the imagination of J.K. Rowling, but in fact, it's a real aquatic plant, found on all continents except Antarctica. It's also carnivorous—which makes it that much more Potteresque. A hapless microinvertebrate floating by the plant's miniature leaves could easily end up as bladder breakfast.
Today, the bladderwort is about to grab the stage from its more popular insect-eating flora. Igor Siwanowicz, a scientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus, has just won first prize in the 2013 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition for his photograph of the bladderwort in mid bite.
Siwanowicz's photo was one of 2,100 still images and movies submitted for the competition from researchers in 71 countries. Though he spends most of his time imaging dragonfly anatomy, he has now managed to give the little-known bladderwort the notoriety it rightly deserves. Take that Venus Fly Trap!
Other winners from this year's competition include the embryo of a black mastiff bat, a phantom midge larva, and a single-cell freshwater algae—which looks a lot more interesting than it sounds.
A series of winning photographs from the contest will be featured in exhibits around the U.S., Italy, Chile, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Asia, and the Middle East next year. For now, see the top images in the gallery above.

By Sir Richard Evans
and Colin Price
(Nicholas Brealey, pounds 18)
THIS BOOK is about winning, and how to win when all those around seem to have lost faith in your ability so to do. More than that it is a practical guide of how to set about it, and how to turn a theory into practical success.
It is really in two parts: the first, quite briefly, sketches the events which led to the collapse of the British Aerospace share price in 1992, when the company recorded the then biggest single asset write-off in UK corporate history - pounds 1bn. The second outlines the subsequent recovery, and the programme for the implementation of change under the then chief executive and co-author, Richard (Dick) Evans, now Chairman.
Any account of BAe, from its beginnings with Sopwith to the present day, is both fascinating and absorbing. The roller-coaster unfolds with equal measures of enormous technical success, lamentable failure, and often personal tragedy. The fact that all this is accompanied by financial failures and successes is inevitable.
It all makes fascinating reading and this book adds another chapter to the history of a company which evolved from a group of fiercely competitive independent companies, each with intense pride in their products, an ingrained culture, and territorial sensitivities. It was only in 1977 that BAe was created out of half a dozen defence and aerospace firms by the act of nationalisation, carried by one vote in Parliament.
This was bound to result in a conglomerate rather than a totally integrated machine. Perhaps, the kind of change required (which was obvious from the outset) could only take place after a near-catastrophe such as 1992. To convince independent corporate barons of the need to change is a very long process in which, sadly, redundancies were the result of a refusal to face facts.
What is always intriguing to the student of management is whether the changes brought about are due to the process introduced, or to other outside influences. It will be interesting to see the expansion of BAe through the planned pounds 7.8m merger with Marconi Electronics, and to see how this almost-inevitable coming together in an even larger world grouping will affect the situation.
Whether to have a devolved or centralised organisation should depend on events and the perceived solution to a particular structural problem. A pendulum in motion never stops in the middle. The history of management of change is constantly looking at the transitions that take place from one organisational shape to another. The one thing that is certain is that, for better or worse, change will continue - witness last week's announcement of BAe closures and redundancies.
As the book points out, BAe was one of the first and, at the time, the largest company to be launched into the private sector. No company today would be pushed into privatisation with all the baggage that BAe carried.
To be fair, the acquisition of other activities enabled BAe to realise much-needed funds when the time came. I don't recall that Rover, acquired in 1987, was ever a long-term strategic hold for British Aerospace but more, as one analyst put it at the time, an opportunistic move.
At the top of the company, Dick Evans' use of the term "a poisoned chalice" doesn't exactly describe either literally or historically the process by which executive responsibility was passed. As he said in 1991 in his statement at the end of his first year of office, no-one foresaw the coming together in such a cataclysmic way of the collapse of so many aspects of the business, nor how quickly it would impact.
As the foreword makes clear, this is more of a text book on the management of change - a project called "Benchmark BAe" - and as such provides a detailed account of the process of turning a concept into reality. It is interesting to note the importance of the European Foundation for Quality Management to this process.
Dick Evans' personal trauma after three years in office comes over quite truthfully. The solitary position of the CEO in times of crisis has to be experienced to be appreciated. It would have been intriguing, however, to know what went on behind the closed boardroom doors which led to the departure of both chairman and finance director in 1993. Who fell on whose sword and why? A lesser man than Dick Evans might have crumpled and, in this respect, I got it right in electing him as my successor in 1990.
As I said, this book is about winning. It adds to the understanding of "whatever happened at BAe", but it also leaves much unanswered. Its main value is in the progress of "Benchmark BAe', a case study in the management of change. In this respect it's a book more for the student of management than for the wide-eyed visitor to the Paris or Farnborough Air show.
Admiral Sir Raymond Lygo was BAe's managing director and then chief executive, 1982-89. Nowadays he is chairman of Rutland Trust, and enjoys flying his own airplane

Growers have applied for a trademark for Hoa dao Nhat Tan (Nhat Tan peach blossoms) but are expressing concern over when their popular blossoms will receive protection.
In April, 2006, Nhat Tan Agriculture and Service Co-operative located at Nhat Tan ward, of Hanoi's Tay Ho District, submitted documents involved in registering their trademark to the National Office of Intellectual Property.
The co-operative's deputy chairman, Nguyen Trong Man, said that everything didn't go according to plan, however. Nhat Tan was expected to officially receive its trademark for peach blossoms in July, 2007 but, in December, the department told the co-operative that the issuance had been delayed.
"The cause they said was the overloaded situation at the department," said Man.
Meanwhile, each grower among the 1,000 member households in the co-operative has registered the number of peach trees to be certified. The co-operative's examining board will inspect and affix the "dao Nhat Tan" label on each qualified tree. The label has been certified by the Literature and Arts Author Copyright Department.
The standards of a qualified peach tree are vermilion-coloured blossoms, yellow pistils, and blossoms with 16 petals, having many thick flower buds.
Trademark-protected or not, peach growers in Nhat Tan are still at work.
"That Nhat Tan peach blossoms have not yet received trademark protection doesn't affect our production prior to the upcoming Tet [lunar new year] festival because, over the last many years, our prestige and quality both ensure a 'trademark' in the hearts of the people of Hanoi and Vietnam," said Man.
Decorating a peach blossom branch from the Nhat Tan area, a 20-minute drive from downtown Hanoi, with ornaments for Tet has long been a taste of Hanoi residents.
Knowing that, traders purchase peach trees grown in the outlying district of Dong Anh and in Ha Tay and Hung Yen provinces, carrying them back to Hanoi to sell, saying they're from Nhat Tan.
So, affixing a label to each tree will help growers themselves be more aware of the quality of their products.
"They will feel more responsibility in tending for trees," said Nguyen Van Hiep.
Hiep, whose garden has 600 trees, expects this year's beautiful weather will help the trees bloom nicely.
