Everyone has that talent. Every person can do one thing in a unique way that nobody else can do. Some of these things can be silly, others can be impressive, and a few can be really terrifying or gross. Whatever it may be, it is unique to that individual, and they just may be the best at that specific talent.
Now, there is a group that not only celebrates this, but also makes sure that it is official public record. However, just because you think that you're the best at something doesn't mean that someone else won't try and do it better. So if you want to prove that you are numero uno, maybe head over to Recordsetter.com.
The idea is that anyone can be the best at something. Whether it's burping quotes from "Star Wars," listing the most Beatles songs in 30 seconds, or walking on your hands with your feet crossed, RecordSetter wants to make sure that you are getting the recognition those feats deserve.
Dan Rollman and Corey Henderson created the group, and their love of all things Guinness (the book, not the brew) grew into an entire web community.
The rules are simple; if you can prove honestly and accurately what you're doing has not been done before in the way that you are doing it, they will put it on their website and list it as a record. However, someone perusing the website might see your video and decide to one up you, creating a healthy sense of competition that constantly pushes the community to think of new and unique records to set. They encourage their followers not to waste or hurt themselves in pursuit of online Guinness glory, so maybe you should rethink that "World's Largest Puppy Explosion" record you were planning on going for. However, if you figure out a way to get the coveted "Most Rainbows Donated to Elderly Orphan Charities", chances are you'll get one of the editor's choice spots on the homepage.
Because really, who couldn't use a few more rainbows in their life? And if you get a world record out of it, it sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.

Welcome To Maverick County, Texas!
County Seat - Eagle Pass
Maverick County is in the northwestern section of the Rio Grande plain region in southwest Texas. The Rio Grand forms Maverick County's western and international border with Mexico; the county is bordered on the north by Kinney County, on the east by Zavala County, and on the south by Webb County. Eagle Pass, the county seat and most populous community, is in southwestern Maverick County on the Southern Pacific Railroad, immediately east of the Rio Grande opposite Piedras Negras, Mexico.
On March 27, 1849, Captain Sidney Burbank established Fort Duncan, previously known as Camp Eagle Pass, on a site two miles north of the ford at Adjuntos Pass. A steady stream of immigrants bound for the gold fields of California made their way to the fort in caravans bearing such names as the Natchez California Company, the Defiance Gold Hunters, and the Mississippi Mining and Trading Company.
Frederick Groos was among the first to establish a commercial business in Eagle Pass, when he secured a contract to haul supplies for the army at Fort Duncan. Groos was able to convince seventy Mexican families to settle near the fort and engage in the freighting business. The majority of these families emigrated from the Mexican river villages and missions of San Juan Bautista, San Jose, Santo Domingo, San Nicolas, La Navaja, and San Isidro. Such names as Rodriguez, San Miguel, Cardenas, Pena, and Paniagua, early settlers of Eagle Pass, trace their roots to these Mexican villages.
Maverick county was carved from Kinney County and was named for Samuel A. Maverick in 1856. The estimated population in 1860 was 726. Fort Duncan was occupied by Confederate troops during the Civil War, and near war's end was the only port of entry open for export of the Confederacy's cotton. So much cotton was passing through Eagle Pass by 1864 that cotton bales were lined from the river to the edge of town.
At the close of the war Gen. Joseph Orville Shelby bivouacked 500 Confederate soldiers of the Trans-Mississippi Army in the Eagle Pass area. On July 4, 1865, when crossing the Rio Grande on the way to Mexico to offer his troops' service to Maximillian, Shelby stopped in the middle of the river to bury the last Confederate flag to fly over his troops. Legend has it that the flag was wrapped around the plume of his hat, weighted down with a stone from the river bank and lowered into the river.
The abandonment of Fort Duncan during the Civil War enabled the Indian population to gain control for the region. Following the war Black Seminole Scouts were organized at Fort Duncan to restore order and that is exactly what they did.
Telegraph communication reached Eagle Pass in November of 1875 with the completion of a military line between Fort Clark and Fort Duncan.
The historic Maverick County Courthouse was completed by pioneer builder William Hausser on April 4, 1885, at a cost of $20,489. The courthouse, site of the celebrated Dick Duncan murder trial in 1889, exhibits a modified Gothic Architecture with high windows and an overall Spanish fortress appearance, and was declared a Texas historic landmark in September of 1971.
Mining in Maverick County began about the time Fort Duncan's establishment in 1846; soldiers at the fort mined the ore that was the Olmos Coal Formation immediately north of Eagle Pass. The Olmos Coal, Coke, and Oil Company at Olmos were the largest coal producers in Texas around the turn of the century.
In 1990, the population of Maverick County was 36,378. Eagle Pass with 20,651 was the largest town.2000 census has Eagle Pass at 22,413.

Low eGFR (66) and high CK (470). Can be fixed?
December 22nd, 2010
Hi guys.
I am a 29 year old male elite athlete (track sprint / crossfit / weights) who trains very hard every day. This week I got a blood test to check all my levels. Got a call from my doctor to go in and chat. He said I have bad muscle breakdown, evident by my CK levels of 470 (should be below 170). He says that as a result of this, and being very dehydrated, my kidney function (eGFR) result was quite low, at 66. I have been training very hard lately with a mixture of sprint training, weights and crossfit training).
My question is.... Now that I have been ordered to rest, and drink a whole lot of water to flush the muscle breakdown out of my system, is it likely that my kidney function eGFR result will go back up to more normal levels? I am scared that I have permanent damage.
Many thanks in advance!

Hello, and thanks for your medical question on E Health Forum. I am glad that I can help you.
The decrease in your GFR is very mild and has occurred due to dehydration.
GFR within the range of 60-90 is considered to be mild reduction in GFR. GFR in the range of 90-130 is considered to be normal.
Once adequate hydration and rest is provided, and as the metabolites of muscle breakdown are excreted, your kidney functions will return to normal levels. This does not result into any form of permanent kidney damage.
I hope this helps.

text: My Grandson has a MSI M2N motherboard using both WIN7 and XP. Through either OS he is getting no sound. Nothing from the MB or the Creative Audigy sound card. The Audigy card isn't even being recognize in the control panel under device management. If I do a hardware scan it still doesn't see the sound card. I did test the sound card and speakers on another system and they work fine. Everything was working at one time and just quit. Is there a jumper on his motherboard, or should I disable the onboard audio?? Why isn't the system recogning the sound card or maybe install it into another slot?? Thanks

Pelf Aces Phils!
I guess preparing for a season that might NOT include Johan is something to think about.
If The Mets can just find a new head for Pelf in the Of-season we should be OK for a while.
You can't replace a Johan Santana with any one. You just have to learn to live without him the best you can.
It's nice to know that 2011 is starting off so nicely.

Both guys at the top of their game. Skill off the charts. Champions. Leaders.
And they still have 3 coaches... each.
You would think it crazy if Peyton suddenly declared he didn't need a coach anymore.
Can you hear him now? "Listen. I am the best. I know how to play and have it all figured out. What more can anyone teach me? What more do I need to learn? Nope. I am just going out there on my own now. No coaching needed. Just get out of my way."
Yeah, right.
If these guys still need 3 coaches each…
Even the all time greatest entrepreneur of our time, Steve Jobs, had a team of coaches. Sure, he called them "advisors" and "board members", but it's the same thing. The purpose is the same. To get counsel. To get advice.
One of the worst mistakes you can make as an entrepreneur is trying to go it alone. Like a lone wolf. Out there on your own. Maybe starving to death.
When I spoke with one successful entrepreneur coach and mentor, she said this:
"One of the big reasons entrepreneurs fail is they do not listen to the wisdom of others. They just refuse to get counsel."
But it doesn't have to be this way. You and I can learn from others. We can get guidance. We can get coaching.
Don't currently have a mentor or coach? Don't know where to start?
Lucky for you I've got...
1.) Previous Entrepreneurial Experience - Yes, this may seem obvious, but do you know how many mentors, consultants and coaches out there have never actually had their own business before? And no, their consulting business to help you doesn't count.
Think of it this way: It would be like seeking marriage counseling from a person who has never been married. Um, yeah. Moving on please...
2.) Variety of Experience as an Entrepreneur (Including the "F" Word) - And one step further? Why not go for a mentor who has started or owned multiple businesses? Yes, the more variety the better. Remember, you're looking for a mentor and coach who can help you see a different perspective on things. No better match than a serial entrepreneur -- especially one who has experienced success and yes: failure.
3.) High Level of Integrity, Honesty and Respect - Bruce Nordstrom of, well, Nordstrom used to say this: "We can hire nice people and teach them to sell, but we can't hire salespeople and teach them to be nice.
In other words, you have to look at the core of the person whom you wish to be your coach and mentor. Their core character. If it's somehow whacked -- better turn and run. Fast.
4.) No "Yes-Man" Please - It's important you find someone who will give it to you straight. You don't need a "yes-man" around, and you sure don't need things sugar coated. You need real input. Real perspective. And real guidance. And yes, you get to make the final decision, but at least you're getting some tangible input to go on. Oh, and a promise to make you rich in 30 days? See #3 above.
5.) Big Picture Thinker - You want a mentor who helps you think about the big picture, and then drills down to the details from there. One of the biggest hurdles entrepreneurs have is getting too close to their own ideas. You've got to have someone who can back you up a bit. Help you see the big vision. And then yes, help you build detailed strategies to get there.
6.) Genuinely Cares About You - You want someone who is genuinely concerned about helping you realize your dreams as an entrepreneur. Having a coach who only cares about themselves and cashing your check at the end of the week is a dead end road.
No, they don't need to bring you milk and cookies every day, but you get the point, right?
7.) Encouraging & Empathetic - This may seem counter to #4, but we're not talking about the same thing here. You will need someone there to pick you up after you've gotten knocked to the ground. And believe me, as an entrepreneur, you will get knocked down.
So, it's good to have a coach and mentor who will encourage you and cheer you on. And yes, be there to stick a bandage on your knee and tell you it's going to be okay.
8.) Results Oriented - Ever been to a counselor who just wants to sit on the couch and talk about your feelings all the time? Day after day, week after week, month after month? Never really making any breakthrough and getting results on the problem? Believe me, you don't want to go there. You want results and you want a mentor who will help you get them. Period.
9.) Body of Work - Try to find a coach and mentor who has created their own content and body of work. Meaning? Someone who is a thought leader and maybe written articles, books, or speeches on the entrepreneurial life. Again, this goes to #1 above -- 'tis better to have someone who has lived the life vs. just reading you a bedtime story about it.
10.) Trusted Authority - Lastly, you want a person who has credibility and is seen as an authority by others for their entrepreneurial wisdom. Quoted or found in major publications like Forbes, Entrepreneur or Inc. Magazine. A person who is well-thought of and knows what they're doing. Basically, a trusted source and leader.
Do whatever it takes to find yourself a guy or gal who fits all the above. And yes, you could take shortcuts and disregard some of these traits. But why would you? We're talking about your life here my friend.
And although you probably haven't bagged that $100 million dollar deal yet, look to Peyton Manning and say "yes" to coaching. It may just change your business life… forever.
Oops, one more thing. Are you and I connected yet?
If you don't know me, I'm Eric.
Husband, father & life-long entrepreneur...

WASHINGTON – Metro is getting ready for one of its busiest days.
Inauguration Day.
The transit agency plans to offer commemorative fare cards with the president's picture, just as it did four years ago, but this time the cards will be cheaper and offer more choices.
Metro riders will have two options: paper or plastic.
Four years ago the commemorative SmarTrip card cost $10 and was not pre-loaded with any value.
This time the commemorative SmarTrip card will cost $15 but come with a pre-loaded one-day pass, which is valued at $14.
The net cost of the card is $1. That's $9 less than the $10 card last time, which is a 90 percent savings for riders.
To encourage riders to buy the commemorative SmarTrip cards, riders will also be able to use them as a "flash pass" to ride Metrobuses on Inauguration Day.
Traditional paper fare cards also will be available and cost the regular $14, and they will have the picture of the president.
Metro will begin pre-sale of the commemorative cards Nov. 7 on its website, the day after the election.

ST LOUIS, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sigma-Aldrich® Corporation (NASDAQ: SIAL) today announced that its custom manufacturing and services business unit, SAFC® (www.safcglobal.com), has appointed Archie Cullen as the new president of BioReliance® (http://www.bioreliance.com). BioReliance is the biologics and early development services business SAFC put into place to provide customers with a portfolio that extends from development and commercialization through testing. Cullen replaces Charles Harwood, who is retiring following the acquisition of BioReliance by Sigma-Aldrich in January 2012 and the subsequent integration of BioReliance into SAFC over the past year.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130305/CG70318)
In his previous position as Vice President of SAFC, Cullen played a significant role in the acquisition of BioReliance in 2012, which enables SAFC to provide industry leading testing services and solutions to complement SAFC's broad product offering and strong technology platforms.
"Being able to go to market with our product offerings complemented by an integrated testing platform is expected to create a great opportunity for SAFC to enable new product and service solutions to our customers," stated Archie Cullen, President of BioReliance. "Right now, each business is benefiting from its ability to introduce and reintroduce each other to the respective customer bases. My role will be to support a go-to-market approach with a coordinated offering from raw materials to testing. That's what our larger customers have been requesting."
"As individual business units, SAFC and BioReliance have each built industry leading offerings and positive reputations. As an integrated business unit, we see great value in the fact that we can coordinate strengths to provide a comprehensive solution to our customers," said Gilles Cottier, President of SAFC. "In order to ensure we maximize this value at the customer level, we needed to appoint someone who not only understands SAFC and BioReliance but, more importantly, someone who is intimate with the customers and their requirements. We are fortunate enough to have that in Archie. This is a great opportunity to drive customer value and shareholder value with Archie as the leader of the business."
Cullen's career includes a broad range of global experience in the biopharma sector, including time with Life Technologies and JRH Biosciences. Following the acquisition in 2005 by Sigma-Aldrich, Cullen became Vice President of Commercial and Technical Operations for SAFC's biosciences business unit where he was responsible for the organization's global sales, marketing, research and development functions. In 2009, he was promoted to Vice President of Sales for SAFC where he headed up strategic accounts globally. Cullen holds a Bachelor's of Science degree from the University of Glasgow and a Master of Business of Administration degree from Open University.
"While we are excited about the appointment of Archie, I would also like to recognize and thank Charlie Harwood on behalf of all of us here at Sigma-Aldrich. Under his guidance BioReliance established a clear leadership position in providing critical services to the Biopharma industry. Over the past year he has expertly undertaken the significant transition of the BioReliance team into SAFC. We wish him well," concluded Cottier.

An aerial assault by senior quarterback John Kelly led No. 16 University of Wisconsin-Platteville to a 49-19 win over University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in a non-conference tilt on Thursday at Pioneer Stadium.
The Pioneers (3-0) continued to show its offensive fireworks in the win. Through the first three games, UW-Platteville has racked up a school record 157 points through its first three games, surpassing the previous mark of 153 by the 1970 team.
A key factor in the offensive fireworks is the play of Kelly, who completed 30 of 41 passes for 414 yards and 4 touchdowns in the win. The 400+ yard effort passing by the Chicago, Illinois native is the most since Brent Nelson threw for 440 yards against the Blugolds on November 1, 2003 in a 42-35 defeat in Eau Claire. His favorite target on the night was Ryley Bailey, who caught 11 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns.
The Blugolds (0-3) had a balanced offensive attack with a 100-yard ground game and a 100-plus yard receiver in the defeat. Joel Sweeney ran the ball 23 times for 100 yards and a touchdown and Austin Goetsch caught seven passes for 129 yards and a touchdown in the loss for UW-Eau Claire.
After the Pioneer defense forced the Eau Claire to punt on the first drive of the game, Kelly completed his first seven passes that culminated with an 18-yard touchdown reception by Trevor Whitehead. On the ensuing kickoff, sophomore Yoel Wonsey forced and recovered a fumble by Blugolds' return man Michael Price to set the stage for a short field for UW-Platteville. Then, on the next play, Pioneers' senior running back Lee Vlasak would score his first of three touchdowns on the night from four yards out.
Vlasak ended the contest with 15 carries and 58 yards for his third multi-touchdown game of his career.
With a 14-0 lead, the Pioneers added another quick score after another UW-Eau Claire special teams miscue. After a UW-Platteville punt, the Pioneers' Kevin Ybarra recovered a fumble by the Blugolds' punt returner. Three plays later and on an audible called by the Pioneer coaching staff, Kelly found Russell Martin to put UW-Platteville ahead 21-0. In two of the first three games, the Pioneers have scored 20+ points in the first 15 minutes of action.
The Blugolds did not go away easily as they went on the longest drive by a UW-Platteville opponent in 2012. UW-Eau Claire quarterback Austin Neu orchestrated a 17 play, 74-yard drive that ran 6:50 off the clock, ending with an eight-yard pass to Cody Gerver that cut the Pioneer lead to 21-7.
Kelly brought the Pioneers back down the field for two more touchdowns in the half, including a 42-yard touchdown pass to Bailey and a 14-yard run by Vlasak. With a 35-7 halftime lead, UW-Platteville through the first three games is outscoring its opponents by a commanding 108-14 advantage.
Sweeney and the Blugolds on their first drive of the second half cut the Pioneer lead to 35-14 when he scored from six yards out. The big play in the drive was a 42-yard pass completion by Neu to Clint Larsen; however, UW-Eau Claire failed on its point-after attempt.
Kelly heated back up in the start of the fourth quarter, completing six-straight passes and a steady diet of Vlasak ate up the clock. Four of the six completions went to Bailey including a 26-yard touchdown completion that put the Pioneers' ahead 42-13.
With UW-Platteville in a prevent defense, Neu completed back-to-back completions to Goetsch, including a 25-yard touchdown completion that cut the Pioneers' lead to 42-19. Again, UW-Platteville and its offensive unit went back to a balanced attack of Vlasak on the ground and Kelly through the air. After two-straight rushes by Vlasak to start the drive, Kelly found an open Paul Reit for a 57-yard completion to move the ball into Blugolds' territory. After a rush by Vlasak and a rare incompletion by Kelly, he found Bailey for a 17-yard reception to move the ball to the 4. Then, on the next play, Vlasak bulled into the end zone for his third touchdown of the game to put the finishing touches on the win.
Next up for UW-Platteville is "Orange Out" on Saturday, Sept. 29th at 1 p.m. when they host UW-Whitewater at Pioneer Stadium.

"You are described as a person who has tremendous character, high standards, is committed to excellence, and that you win the right way. You will be very much, therefore, like all your colleagues at Virginia Commonwealth University," VCU President Dr. Michael Rao told O'Boyle during Tuesday press conference.
She becomes the 13th coach in program history and replaces Marlene Stollings, who resigned earlier this month to become head coach at Minnesota. O'Boyle inherits a VCU program that was 22-10 a year ago and has reached the postseason six times since 2007-08.
"My expectations will be high, but my goals will be simple," O'Boyle said. "I want our players to excel in the classroom, to be the best student-athletes that they can be. On the court, they will compete. We will practice hard. We will get after it in the Atlantic 10. I think the Atlantic 10 is one of the best conferences for women's basketball in the country."
O'Boyle assumes the reigns at VCU after she led Stony Brook to a remarkable turnaround in three seasons on Long Island. The Seawolves improved by 10 wins in each of the last two seasons, including the 2013-14 campaign, when O'Boyle guided the club to a school Division I record 24 wins (24-9), and a WNIT bid, the program's first postseason appearance since 2006. Stony Brook reached the America East Championship Game last season, the school's first appearance in the final since 2001-02. O'Boyle was also pivotal in the development of 2014 America East Defensive Player of the Year Chikilra Goodman.
In 2012-13, Stony Brook's 10-win turnaround was the seventh-best in the country. O'Boyle was 42-51 overall in three seasons with the Seawolves.
During O'Boyle's tenure, Stony Brook was known for its stout defense. In each of her three seasons, the Seawolves ranked in the top 50 nationally in scoring defense. In 2013-14, SBU allowed just 60.5 points per game, the 45th-best mark in the country. The Seawolves also ranked 20th nationally in rebounding margin (+7.7).
"We had a lot of really good candidates. A lot of high-level coaches, a lot of high-level people had interest in the job, and what it really told us was what we already knew, VCU is the place to be," said VCU Director of Athletics Ed McLaughlin Tuesday. "One person rose above everyone else in this search, not only because of what she has done as a coach, but what she has done as a person and where we think she can take us in our women's basketball program."
Prior to guiding the Stony Brook program, O'Boyle spent four seasons as an assistant at Canisius. She helped steer the program to its best season in 2008-09, when the Golden Griffins won 24 games and advanced to the MAAC Championship Game. Canisius also received a WNIT bid for the first time in program history.
Hired as an assistant coach at Canisius in 2007, O'Boyle was elevated to associate head coach in November 2009. Responsible for all recruiting activities, as well the development of the Golden Griffin guards, O'Boyle coached seven All-Conference players at Canisius, including 2009 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Defensive Player of the Year Brittane Russell, 2009 MAAC Sixth Player of the Year Ellie Radke and 2011 MAAC Rookie of the Year Jamie Ruttle.
O'Boyle has also shown a commitment to developing the total student-athlete. Dani Klupenger earned America East All-Academic status in 2012-13 for her work on the court and in the classroom. At Canisius, she monitored the academic progress of a Golden Griffins team that was recognized in the NCAA Top 25 for team grade point average. In total, Canisius has had 18 selections to the MAAC All-Academic team since O'Boyle's arrival, including Marie Warner, who was also named a ESPN the Magazine third-team Academic All-American in 2009.
O'Boyle came to Canisius after serving as the head coach at Montclair State University in Montclair, N.J., for three seasons. O'Boyle led the Red Hawks to the ECAC Division III Metro Women's Basketball Championship in 2006-07 and was named the New Jersey Athletic Conference Co-Coach of the Year following the 2005-06 season. She compiled a 51-33 record in her three seasons there, and the Red Hawks also produced their first All-American in 15 seasons under O'Boyle's guidance.
Prior to taking over at Montclair State, O'Boyle spent four seasons as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Rochester. During her first two seasons, Rochester won back-to-back ECAC Upstate New York championships and in her last two seasons, the team made consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division III Final Four. In 2004, the team was ranked No. 1 in the nation for a three-week period according to the USA Today/ESPN/WBCADivision III poll and the D3hoops.com poll.
A 1998 graduate of Gettysburg College, O'Boyle earned four letters with the basketball and soccer programs at Gettysburg and served as a two-time captain in each sport. O'Boyle earned her master's degree from the Rochester's Warner School of Education in 2001. O'Boyle is a native of Rockville, Md., and attended the Academy of the Holy Cross High School in Kensington, Md.

Notes from throughout the day yesterday and today via emails to friends:
6/10/10 @ 10:31am PT:
http://www.ralphiereport.com/2010/6/7/1506750/attention-buddy-jones-baylor-fans — I found this funny 🙂
If Nebraska jumps to Big Ten (90% likely), then there's several scenarios:
1) Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M go to Pac-10 (60% likely)
2) Pac-10 only invites Utah (34% likely) and stops at 12 teams
3) All five Big 12 teams stay, and the Big 12 picks up two teams to replace Nebraska and Colorado (TCU for sure, Houston is likely – don't think they'll take SMU again because SMU was the reason the SWC dissolved in the first place) (3% likely)
4) Pac-10 invites Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Utah (2% likely).
5) Pac-10 invites ONLY Texas, Texas Tech, and Utah to stop at 14 teams (1% likely)
6) Pac-10 does something else entirely (San Diego State, Utah, and Colorado State?) (0.0000001% likely)
Texas A&M would prefer to actually join the SEC due to travel times and would only go to the Pac-10 if #1 scenario happens. The PAc-10 would prefer NOT to take A&M but might have to.
Scenario #4 actually would be the most ideal situation for the Pac-10, covering the biggest markets in four new states (Salt Lake City, Denver plus all of Oklahoma and Texas), but it is also the second least likely to happen.
6/10/10 @ 3:08pm PT:
The latest statement from Oklahoma State University:
"The report circulating about an immediate announcement today concerning Oklahoma State University and conference realignment is without merit. There are no announcements planned by Oklahoma State University. We remain committed to the Big 12 Conference. If there are additional defections, we will have to evaluate our options."
(But we already know that Nebraska is going to go to the Big Ten – it doesn't want to be dealing with Texas anymore anyway. This gives OK State the way "out".)
In a contingency move, if Nebraska actually DOES stay put, Missouri will be moving on to the Big Ten, with BYU and Air Force getting the Big 12 invites to replace Mizzou and CU.
Oklahoma also just stated that wherever Texas goes, it goes. "I think it would be a horrendous decision for OU and Texas to break up," Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione said. "We're going to stick together if it's at all possible."
MWC is looking to swoop in and pick up three teams at minimum (Boise State, Kansas, Kansas State) if the Big 12 goes belly-up to bring themselves to 12 teams. Or it could also pick up the remaining leftovers (Iowa State, Missouri) to get to 14 teams.
On the outside looking in: Missouri (who woulda thought?!?), Iowa State, Baylor. Missouri wants the Big Ten to come calling, but a Nebraska expansion really means that the Big Ten will be looking at staying at 12 or expanding in the future to New York/Jersey (Syracuse and Rutgers).
SEC isn't looking to expand further unless the Big Ten takes Syracuse and Rutgers, creating a domino effect – the Big East would collapse and the ACC would scoop up some of those members, with the MAC or CUSA probably picking up one or two teams (Iowa State, Baylor).
If the Big East collapses, Notre Dame will move to the Big Ten because they no longer would have any conference to align with for non-football sports.
If the Big East and Big 12 collapse, there will be five superconferences: Pac-16, Big Ten (or whatever it will be named), SEC, ACC, and MWC. The WAC, MAC, Sun Belt, and CUSA will be staring at the impossible – getting high enough on the food chain to access the BCS bowls. If the Pac-10 is smart, they invite Utah now (get themselves to 12), then see what shakes from the Big 12. Best scenario would be then to take Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and OK State and leave A&M and Baylor to fend for themselves or beg for an invite to the SEC (which is geographically better for both schools anyway).
Texas Tech reports that all options for them are "positive for the university" (meaning that no matter what happens, they win since they will be going wherever Texas goes).
Lastly, reports have ALL 5 remaining Big 12 South teams (except Baylor) have already received invites to the Pac and are simply waiting for the Nebraska announcement (due tomorrow!) before acting. However – according to the reports: It takes 9 members to disolve the [Big 12] conference without paying exit fees. It looks like only 7, maybe 8, have a home and want out. (CU, OK, OSU, TX, TXT, TXAM, NEB, maybe MIZZ). The exit fees are $10 million a pop. The four remaining teams could end up splitting $80 million in exit fees before finding a new pasture (MWC?)
6/10/10 @ 4:05pm PT:
Two tidbits, one from today's teleconference between Pac-10 commish, CU Prez Bruce Benson and Philip DiStefano (CU-Boulder chancellor):
Question: Kyle Ringo, Boulder Daily Camera – Did Pac-10 ask Colorado to add new sports?
Scott – No requirement to add any sports but we have had discussions about the profile of sports that seem to fit well, including baseball and softball.
Looks like baseball and softball might be back on the table for CU. Can't see why it wouldn't work, given the imminent TV revenue to be gained – plus Title 9 wouldn't really be affected since a women's and men's sport would be coming in at the same time, so long as the number of scholarships for both is (relatively) the same.
The other tidbit is the proposed divisional/scheduling setup:
Divisional – Pac-8 division (Cal, Stanford, OSU, UO, UW, WSU, UCLA, USC), and Southwest division (UA, ASU, CU, TX, TX Tech, TX A&M, OK, OKST). Round robin rules then apply:
7 games against divisional opponents, 2 games against intra-divisional opponents, 3 games vs non-conference.
Divisional Pod – Four team pods within a two divisional setup:
Pac-8 One: UW, WSU, UO, OSU
Pac-8 Two: Cal, Stan, UCLA, USC
SW One: UA, ASU, CU, TTU
SW Two: TX, TAMU, OK, OKST
Divisional – Only adding Utah to conference splits conference into two six-team divisions. Round robin rules then apply:
5 games against divisional opponents, 4 games against intra-divisional opponents, 3 games vs. non-conference.
Hard to gauge a divisional setup that everyone likes in this scenario, though the best school of thought is to split the divisions evenly by splitting the rival pairs and then forcing them to play each other in an intra-divisional game every year. Thus:
One: USC, Stanford, WSU, ASU, Utah, OSU
Two: UCLA, Cal, UW, UA, CU, UO
While the thinking is that the 8-team divisionals are generally accepted, the reality is that the Pac-10 has actually been studying the pod system for a while. The scheduling would thus be:
Play all members in their own pods (3 games), plus 2 teams from the other three pods (6 games total) for a total of 9 conference games, leaving three non-conference games available.
Arizona, ASU, and CU would like this since they wouldn't have to play Texas and/or Oklahoma every single season.
CU Nation, however, seems to only want the Pac-10 to expand to 12 teams by taking Utah and then being done. Apparently, they're tired of spending half their seasons in Texas. 🙂
6/11/10 @ 1:23pm PT:
Boise State officially accepts invite to Mountain West Conference, according to the MWC press release. Also, Nebraska officially joined the Big Ten today, according to the Omaha World-Herald.
The reports now have the Pac-10 expanding to include the following FOUR teams – Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and OK State.
This is shaking out to be the 2% chance scenario I mentioned yesterday…
4) Pac-10 invites Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Utah (2% likely).
Texas A&M is seriously courting the SEC and has a decent shot, given that the TAMU President is none other than Gene Stallings, who won a national title at Alabama.
Missouri, Iowa State, Kansas, K State, Texas A&M and Baylor remain – only the first five have a shot at getting into a major conference, with the MWC ready to grab Mizzou, ISU, KU and KSU.
Baylor here is the big loser if they can't tag along with TAMU – it's either Conference USA (as the 13th member, where they would play against other Texas teams such as Rice, Houston, UTEP and SMU) or the Sun Belt Conference (as the 11th football member where they can play other Texas teams such as … North Texas), because I seriously doubt that the MWC will want to take them. And given that the SEC wants TAMU and Va Tech, I doubt Baylor is getting an invite to that conference either.
There is a small chance now that the remainder of the Big 12 (all six of them) could conceivably raid another conference (MWC? WAC? CUSA?) and grab two of BYU, Air Force, Colorado State, Louisana Tech, Houston, or TCU and once again become the Big 8. (Or take four and still be the Big 12.) Geographically, TCU and either Houston or LaTech would be the best fit for the new Big 8. One writer in Des Moines actually has a "new" Big 12 with five of the remaining current members (Mizzou, ISU, KU, KSU, Baylor) plus Cincinnati (HUH??), Louisville, Rice, SMU, TCU, UTEP, and Houston. Basically, this writer would turn the Big 12 into the Texas division and the Everywhere-Else division.
Now, I get the Louisville thing because that's Kentucky which is right next to Missouri state-wise. But Cincinnati? Really? They should instead be pilfering someone closer, like Arkansas State, or Western Kentucky. Not that there's a ton out there to begin with anyway once the Big Ten and Pac-16 are done gobbling up all the big names.

Pasifika Project
Building Sustainability through Educational Partnership
The Kristin Pasifika Project represents a partnership between Kristin and the schools of Poutasi village. In 2009, a tsunami devastated the village and its school, with significant loss of life.
The partnership was founded on an evergrowing relationship with High Chief of the village of Poutasi, Joe Annandale. It is because of Joe's guidance that all schools and their students have benefited so much.
In 2012, Kristin visited the village with 14 tonnes of resources for the local schools and village. Sixteen Kristin students and three staff spent three weeks teaching in the local preschool, primary school and secondary college, as well as helping build and improve facilities in the local area.
Two Poutasi School students and one staff member visited Kristin on a fully funded scholarship for three weeks at the start of 2013. A foundation has been established for the scholarships to continue for at least the next eight years. Again Kristin hosted students and the Principal in 2015.
The long-held dream for Joe Annandale of creating long term scholarships for Poutasi students to complete their schooling in New Zealand became a reality when a Kristin family donated school fees for two students to attend Kristin. In 2015, the first of these scholarships were offered to one student from the village to complete Level 2 and 3 NCEA at Kristin in three years. He will graduate in 2017. We are looking to select another female student on scholarship to begin in 2017 in Year 10.
In 2014, twenty students and three staff returned to Poutasi to teach English for three weeks. With the village schools recent connection to the Samoan Government's SchoolNet, digital devices are now paramount, particularly for older students. With this in mind, Kristin delivered a new Android tablet device to every student in Years 12 and 13 at the secondary college. Every staff member in each of the schools has received a tablet device.
In 2016 twenty students and four staff will return to Poutasi. The focus is to teach English in the Primary and Secondary schools.
Another container filled with learning materials for the school will also be shipped to the village.
Throughout this partnership, the benefit to Kristin students has been significant. All students across the Middle School contribute and experience the immense satisfaction of being involved in an altruistic activity. Those students who travel to Samoa gain a unique insight in the rich culture and wonderful people of that country. They become adoptees of the families of the village, making many friendships with children of their own age. The students return with immense gratitude for the opportunities that they have, as well as an appreciation of the value of cultural diversity.
There seems to be something especially powerful when facilitating a reciprocal relationship that has children learning from children, with each growing and benefiting from the experience.

Inspiring story about survivor
I have never before written to the Local, though I have been a grateful reader for years now. But the beautiful and important article about Betsy Wallace on this week's front page ["Learning to live with ovarian cancer," Sept. 6] has inspired me to find my voice
The courage and strength of spirit in Betsy's story is matched by the excellence of the reporting, as well as the decision to put ovarian cancer front and center in the Local this month. I am sure many readers will look forward to the articles to come from other survivors and practitioners.
Breaking the silence that so often persists around any instance of "the big C" is vitally important. Cancer is a fact of life for so many of us, and when we are open and thoughtful in addressing what it involves, rather than staying silent and frightened, we win the biggest part of the battle.
As a cancer survivor and daughter of two cancer survivors, one of whom eventually did die of cancer, I can testify to how possible it is to claim all of life's fullness, no matter what challenges present. We see that clearly in Betsy's story, and it is a true gift to all of us.

ID-less is likely
to be clueless
What are the chances that someone who is so surpassingly stupid as to be unable to secure a photograph identification card is going to have any knowledge of the issues in the presidential election: that Obama has destroyed the American economy; that he has caused the downgrading of America's credit rating; that he has driven millions of Americans to despair of ever landing a job; and that he has imperiled the lives of America's Armed Forces by leaking classified information to our enemies in order to increase his chances of re-election?
To ask the question is to answer it.

Paying attention:
a lost art?
We hear so much about attention these days. Whether it's attention deficit disorder or e-attention or inattention, we seem to live in a world that is so fast-paced and fragmented that it sometimes feels hard to pay attention in a focused or coherent way.
While most of us do not have a bona fide attention deficit disorder, scientists are demonstrating that there are various kinds of attention and to rely too exclusively on only one kind can make the average person feel as if she has an attention disorder, or even a memory problem, which is related to attention.
We attend to the world, to others, to our work or to ourselves in different ways depending on circumstances in the moment. We attend one way to our young child who is misbehaving, and another way to the same child when he is sick. When we want to attend to our spouse in a difficult situation – for example, he or she is experiencing a conflict at work – we make an effort to put aside something else like an aging parent who is also putting demands on our attention.
So paying attention is a dynamic and complex process. And because the world is an increasingly complicated place, it pulls at our attention in complicated and sometimes even conflicting ways.
It may be helpful to begin to attend to how we as individuals are paying attention. This is mindfulness – the practice of becoming mindful of one's own paying attention. Mindfulness takes practice very much like learning a foreign language or playing the violin. We have an innate ability to carry it out but our longstanding habits of attention act as obstacles to mindful attention.
The science of the human brain demonstrates that the two halves of the brain, the right and left hemispheres, influence how we pay attention in two different ways. Optimally the two hemispheres work together as a team and their functions complement each other. But some brains in certain circumstances may rely too heavily on one type of functioning over another.
The study of the brain is revealing that western civilization has grown around the predominance of left hemisphere functioning, having to do with rationality, logic and linear reasoning, while the right hemisphere subserves empathy, emotional insight and immediate experience.
While the hemispheres differ in how they process information and energy, it would be an oversimplification to say that they function separately or compete with one another. Rather, optimal brain functioning integrates the different types of information processing.
So try paying attention to what you pay attention to and how you pay attention, and you may begin to find novel ways of attending to the world, to others, and to yourself, which is the beginning of mindfulness practice. And the neuroscience is confirming that exercise for the brain/mind in all its forms is as important as exercise for the body.

Whoa! This is really intersting! In 2010, Syd Hoare published online some translations of some of Jigoro Kano's writings. Included were the following passages involving Kano grousing about the deficiencies within the principle of Ju (as understood as winning by yielding)...
Most jujitsu was based on and carried out under the Ju principle in order to defeat the opponent. It was also applicable to all the day to day affairs of man. However Kano eventually came up against the fact that there were many occasions in both attack and defence which could only be dealt with by theories outside the yielding principle Kano giving examples of situations which could not be explained by the Ju/Yielding principle divided them into physical and mental ones.
Physical situations.
For example when you are strongly grabbed from behind, under the JU principle there is no escape – there is no way to adapt to the opponent's power. There are a number of ways of responding to a strong hug from behind but there is no adaptation to the opponent's power. Similarly if an opponent grabs your throat from the front there are answers to it but they do not involve adapting to the opponent's power.
Furthermore if judo technique is always limited to complying with or adapting to the opponent's force there is nothing that judo can do if the opponent stands still. Even if you merely think about catching the opponents hand you cannot even lower your hand. All one can say is that it should be done with a minimum of force.Mental situations....When the opponent attacks you vigorously you have no time to think out new means to deal with it. You have no choice but to choose to reply to it with your old tricks which naturally float into your mind based on previous experience. If the opponent does not attack but only defends, your mental workings and new thoughts will not appear.
Furthermore when one has decided to try a technique on the opponent you must not hesitate or doubt whether you should do this or that but be resolute in your decision to try a technique. At the same time think about all possibilities and try moving around, doing techniques lightly and even though there may not be better methods one must not be idle in thinking about them and producing them. From all these illustrations, all methods of attack and defence are very difficult to explain with the simple JU principle. It is evident that whether considering the mental or physical aspects, that a new basic principle is necessary to cover the huge variety of judo technique.
