Three keys: Notre Dame vs. Arizona State
1. Start strong. This has been a problem for Notre Dame since Week 2 -- the first 15 minutes haven't good, especially against Purdue (a narrow win) and Oklahoma (a loss). Michigan, Purdue, Michigan State and Oklahoma have all scored the first touchdown against Notre Dame, and while coaches and players insist is hasn't taken them out of their gameplan, from a confidence standpoint getting settled in with a lead could go a long way against a powerful Arizona State attack.
2. Run effectively. Tommy Rees has no chance if there's no threat of a run game. But if George Atkinson, Amir Carlisle, Cam McDaniel, Tarean Folston or the possibly-not-forgotten Greg Bryant can established a balance on the ground, it'll open up far more scoring avenues for the Irish. Play-action passes will work better, in addition to having the backfield carry the offensive load if necessary. The good news: Arizona State is 93nd among FBS teams in rushing defense, allowing 192 yards per game.
3. Force a few turnovers. Arizona State's offense features an excellent quarterback (Taylor Kelly; third nationally with 342.5 passing yards per game), a versatile running back (Marion Grice; 8 rushing TDs, 22 receptions for 183 yards and 4 TDs) and an elite receiver (Jaelen Strong; 31 catches, 433 yards, 2 TDs). With those guys leading the charge, ASU rolled to 62 points against USC last week. This is an offense that'll gain plenty of yards and score plenty of points, but perhaps the best way for Notre Dame to put a dent in those efforts is to force a couple of turnovers. That's something Notre Dame hasn't done this year, though, but it'll likely have to change on Saturday for the Irish to win.
Prediction: Arizona State 31, Notre Dame 20.

I ask this because the feature is sound and works as it should. The only reason many see it as a failure is because not enough have tried it or given it a fair chance. Plus there is only one way to really show off your work. I think if the feature allowed you to upload to other sites than just youtube it may have had a better chance. I also think if there was an actual CoD Casting subforum for people to show off their casting skills that maybe it would be seen different by some and maybe given another look at.
The forum would have to have strict rules about what types of casting was allowed, where it had to be full game play and not montages like QS or anything else like that. No asking for subs or likes or comments on the vidoe on youtube itself. And where no foul langue was used by the caster about how the players played the match. Anyone breaking the rules would not be allowed to post or link any more cod casted vidoes for at least 1-2 weeks.
The main reason for the subforum would be so people can show off their casting talent and get feedback on the forums on how well they sounded or how well they did at following the action and pace of the match. Maybe some sort of competition where the best caster would win a free dlc pack or something like that and once they win they are not eligble for any future dlc competitions.
I think the feature could be great if was given a better chance and more ways for it to be utilized than what is currently available.

The way you start each day is of such importance to you.
The choices that you make regarding your daily routines either build up resistance to disease or make you more susceptible to it, this is even more applicable for your healthy morning rituals.
So if you can only make time for one healthy ritual that will improve your health, let it be implementing a healthy morning routine.
It's so simple and the benefits are just too good to ignore.
I assure you one of the most significant things you can do to bring improvements about in your life is implement a healthy morning routine.
When you develop habits to start your day off right you find that you are at your most productive all day long. Starting your morning right is so important if you want to make the most out of your day, every day.
I assure you that having healthy morning rituals is a powerful way to set your day on a healthy path.
I have always loved the benefits of rising early; but over the last few months while dealing with a few health issues rising early has gone out the window. My days have definitely suffered as a consequence, and I am clearly getting through far less than I do when I get started using my morning power up rituals. To me this is the clearest indication that having a healthy morning routine is truly vital for anybody wanting to make the most out of their days, in fact out of their life.
I will be getting back to this routine at the very beginning of January, and in truth I can't wait.
A good start to the day will make a huge difference to your inspiration, contentment and life. You have to make it a priority in your life.
The real way to implement change in your life is to alter your habits. And one of the best habits you can change are those you use in the mornings. So it makes perfect sense to once again set up a daily routine that I enjoy and which I know works.
What I will be doing every morning, when I wake up, is follow the habits that once again will turn my daily life into a healthy life.
The first thing I do to ensure a healthy morning happens starts the night before. Before I go to bed I prepare my clothes for the morning, and prepare a glass of water to drink on awakening.
So here are the 'Morning Ritual' tips I would like to share with you today...[component_header]DRINK WATER[/component_header]
Water should be the first thing you put in your body every day. It is important to hydrate your body after a full night's sleep.[component_header]GET INTO CENTRE[/component_header]
This is a fantastic way to tune in your mind and body, within five minutes of waking, you will have gone from the early morning brain fog, to an alert, powerful mind, with a strong and powerful body. I describe the technique in this article
Breathing correctly will flush out the bad energies and inhale fresh and positive energy.
I describe the technique in this article[component_header]STRETCH[/component_header]
Start by stretching before you even roll out of bed. Just a few minutes of stretching a day can increase flexibility and decrease your chances of injuries.[component_header]MOVE[/component_header]
Get yourself moving. Walking is one of the best exercises you can do at any time. So get yourself outdoors and take a brisk walk.[component_header]GRATITUDE[/component_header]
Focus with gratitude on everything you have in your life. and give thanks for all that is good no matter how small.[component_header]AFFIRMATIONS[/component_header]
Build up the positivity inside of yourself by telling yourself how good you feel, how strong you are, through using affirmations such as "I am a winner', 'I am a great person' whatever words that will highly charge you, motivate you, that will get you confident and positive.[component_header]VISUALISATION[/component_header]
Get a mental picture into your mind of the perfect day ahead, and see yourself achieving everything you want to do.[component_header]DRINK WATER[/component_header]
Water is essential to your body so keep drinking it.[component_header]GREEN MAGIC[/component_header]
Drink green magic to feel energized throughout the day. I swear by this product. You can buy Proto-Col Green Magic here in my ecommerce shop.[component_header]EAT BREAKFAST[/component_header]
Your body needs to be fuelled so this is the most important meal of the day.
Anyway, if you want to create your perfect morning implement a morning ritual like this. It will probably be one of the most rewarding things you can do for yourself.

Remembering our Veterans by myrnajacobsWatch
©2011-2016 myrnajacobs
The Red Poppy has long been a symbol of honor and remembrance of Veterans.
Wonderful bokeh!
Beautiful! Funny but I can't tell what kind of poppy this is, colour looks like somniferum but overall appearance looks more like nudicaule (Icelandic poppy). Could be rhoeas (Corn poppy) too but colour is also not usual. You have stumped me - and I'm a poppy expert.
Don't know the official names of poppies..but this one is in California and grows alongside the roads.
Beautiful ...our veterans serve knowing that our country does not do them justice...and yet they serve anyway...My father was a Korean War Vet.
Amen, sister.
Blood red, dark and shadowed.
Blood red, dark and shadowed.


text: Each and every photon of light we send upward into space at night pollutes the night sky and is wasted. This is excerpted from the Energy Brochure of the International Dark Sky Association (IDA): "Wasted outdoor lighting, that shines directly upward, is estimated at 22,000 gigawatt-hours a year. At an average of $0.10 per kilowatt-hour the cost of that wasted energy is $2.2 billion a year. In terms of how that affects our carbon footprint, here's the math: • 3,412 Btu to generate one kilowatt-hour • 1 ton of coal = 20.1 million Btu • 1 barrel of oil = 5.8 million Btu • 3.6 million tons of coal, or 12.9 million barrels of oil are wasted every year to generate the energy for this lost light." http://www.darksky.org/ Night lights map: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~pesti/night/ For a detailed technical description of the light emitted upward into space see: http://laps.noaa.gov/albers/slides/ast/places.html For very high resolution images of the night lights download the "hi res" images from: http://www.lightpollution.it/worldatlas/pages/fig1.htm The IDA offers simple suggestions on how to diminish the energy wasted in lighting the outdoors at night. The United States could save much energy and money by adopting more sensible lighting schemes. We would thereby reduce our need for foreign energy imports and decrease our carbon emissions footprint. Safety and security lighting would not be affected; only the light sent into outer space would decrease. And the night skies in all their splendor would become more visible. Cheers, Bobbywhy

Staff and pupils of St Alban's High School are gearing up towards its 50th anniversary later this year. Pictured with the original log book from 1963 are left Grace Reynolds, Prithvi Kulkarni, Emily Taylor, Bethan Smith and Will Taylor. (4858814)
/ News
A PONTYPOOL school will celebrate its half century with an open-air mass with the Archbishop of Cardiff and an open day for past pupils in June.
St Alban's High School, on The Park, opened in September 1963 and now educates 1,050 Gwent pupils.
The Archbishop of Cardiff, George Stack, will be leading the mass on Friday, June 20 and the school will be open from 3.30pm until 6.30pm.
There will be a hog roast for selected guests of the school, and an anniversary book is being produced in celebration.
The school's headteacher, Mike Coady, said: "I hope it is going to be a celebration of what St Alban's has meant to this community."
The celebrations are being run by the former chairman of governors, Gregory Hinds.
Mr Hinds said he was very pleased to be involved.
"It's a privilege to be involved because the teachers are outstanding," he added.
Pupils travel from from as far as Abergavenny, Brynmawr and Abertillery to attend the school.

10 Things You Should Know About A$AP Rocky
One of hip hop's oldest truisms: It ain't where you from, it's where you at. It's an important thing to remember when discussing up-and-coming Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky. Yes, he's dripping with his hood's infamous swagger, but his sing-song rhymes have an undeniable Midwestern lilt, his spaced-out beats recall the West Coast's latest underground sounds, and Houston's trill movement is an obvious influence. Maybe that's why heads all over the country—scratch that, the world—are claiming Rocky as one of their own. If you aren't down with his movement yet, you came to the right place.
Click on to get up on A$AP Rocky in all his swagged-out glory and don't miss him tonight on 106 & Park with the World Premiere of "Fashion Killa" at 6P/5C!

Central florida is blessed with year round sun in which to enjoy the world's leading theme parks and fantastic beaches. Families will love the American hospitality evident at all restaurants, shopping malls, leisure and adventure parks. The sub tropical climate is home to a variety of wildlife which can be experienced at several national parks within the area. Golfers too are spoilt for choice with well over a 100 beautifully manicured courses in the region.
Bahama Bay is perfectly located for theme parks, beaches and golf courses. Disney World and Universal Studios are just a short drive to the East whilst the newly opened Legoland is found to the South. A one hour drive will take you to the beautiful beaches of the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. We recommend a visit to the Kennedy Space Centre followed by a relaxing sun bathe at Daytona Beach.
Nearer by, there is a wide range of restaurants catering for all tastes and budgets. Applebees restaurant offers good food at a reasonable price and is only a 2 minute drive from the appartment. For the steak lovers, we recommend Longhorns on the 192 highway or Manny's chophouse on the 27 highway in the direction of Haynes City.
If you want a change from the theme parks, why not hire a kayak at Wekiva Springs and see how many alligators you can spot? Don't worry, they're more scared of us than we are of them.

I currently have a website setup where unique links are generated every time a person loads a page. When a user follows a link that link should expire. That is, they shouldn't be able to hit back on their browser and click that link again.
While I can do this now, I'm not sure where I should be storing the unique link IDs.
There are going to be a lot of links generated since the website involves a lot of clicking through to get to other sections of the site, but the links themselves will expire after 30 minutes.
Should I store them on the database (MySQL) or cache them in memory with xcache?

Steven Hayward is the inaugural visiting scholar of conservative thought at the University of Colorado at Boulder. (Disclosure: I was on the selection committee that chose him.) It was predictable that he'd be a target of criticism from certain quarters. The knee-jerk reaction and overwrought expressions of outrage to his comments about gender identity are a valuable lesson in just how much a presence like his — with a viewpoint that departs from the campus' dominant leftist orthodoxy — is needed at CU.
Two members of student government — the president of student affairs and the director of safety and inclusion — attacked Hayward in the Daily Camera for his "oppressive and discriminatory ideas." Then, the chairman of the Boulder Faculty Association piled on with a hair-trigger charge that Hayward's statements were "bordering ... on hate speech."
So what was Hayward's crime? He critically deconstructed a flimsy and tendentious report by the American Philosophical Association's Committee on the Status of Women. Some may disagree, but no reasonable person could find anything remotely hateful or oppressive in his analysis.
Additionally, Hayward's critics dug up his commentary on the Powerline blog in October 2013 under the headline, "Off on a Gender-Bender." In that piece, he expressed a dissenting opinion on the gender identity movement, which has become an obsession in the world of political correctness, with academia a major enabler in the name of diversity. He related a quote in The Wall Street Journal from a doctoral candidate at the University of Wisconsin describing his dismay at a mandatory diversity training session on gender identity. Hayward augmented that with his own experience in a similar session at CU and threw in a wry allusion to the spiraling inflation of gender identities, jokingly referring to the field as "LBGTQRSTUW (or whatever letters have been added lately)."
If that mild jab qualifies as hate speech, the term has lost all credible meaning.
I took Hayward's point to be that the gender identity movement and its accommodation in academia have been taken to absurd extremes, and I agree. For example, the LGBTQ "community" at Texas A&M is planning to hold a separate Lavender Graduation Ceremony. It's hard enough to tell what gender anyone is under those baggy unisex gowns and mortarboard hats. Why the need for a separate ceremony?
And then there's Facebook, which now allows users who don't want to identify themselves as male or female to choose from 56 other options. That's only one fewer variety than Heinz's 57. (Is satire now hate speech?) Here's a sampling of the listed categories: Agender, Androgyne, Bigender, Cisgender, Gender Fluid, Gender Nonconforming, Gender Questioning, Genderqueer, Intersex, Non-binary, Pangender, Transgender, Two-spirit, etc. (Peter Weber at slate.com offers detailed definitions.)
What you do in bed and in whose company is none of my business or concern. Nor is what gender or combination of genders you believe yourself to be. That's between you, yourself and maybe your shrink. Call yourself whatever you like. I can handle male, female, homosexual and even transsexual. I don't plan on keeping up with the ballooning list. Under "Sex," my driver's license says "M." The Colorado DMV can wrestle with how many others to include.
I suspect most sensible people outside of academia, many CU students and even some of the faculty would agree with Hayward on this issue.
But students or faculty standing up and saying so exposes them to great personal risk in a place where the liberal thought police now dictate the boundaries of what used to be free speech. It's a shame that only a visiting conservative scholar, just passing through, can stand up to them when diversity becomes farce.

The barman is charged with selling drink with one bacon roll instead of two
/ News
A FOOTBALL agent faces trial for allegedly breaking the law by letting one of his bar staff sell alcohol with one roll and sausage instead of two.
Barman Alan Gallagher is accused of serving two undercover police officers a roll and sausage between them with their pints, instead of one each.
The incident happened at the Empire Bar in Saltmarket, Glasgow. The pub is owned by John Lonergan.
Gallagher, 59, from Blantyre, who no longer works at the bar, is standing trial next month with his former boss Longeran, the former agent for Scotland player Alan Hutton, over the alleged offence.
The case was called at Glasgow Sheriff Court where both men were not present but were represented.
The case was continued to the trial.
Papers from the court claim that on September 25, 2012, Gallagher sold the drinks "without a cooked breakfast", which flouts the legislation of when alcohol can be sold.
A second charge against both Gallagher and Longeran, from Cathcart, claims they "allowed alcohol to be sold" without a cooked breakfast between 8am and 11am. They both deny the allegations.
Hours after the alleged offence, the barman was arrested and charged under the Licensing Scotland Act 2005.
The two undercover policemen targeted the Empire as part of Operation Cabinet, a crackdown on bars suspected of breaching the rules.

Keep it simple
Posted by Gary Dzen, Boston.com Staff May 18, 2008 02:49 PM
Celtics coach Doc Rivers said he has a hard time diagnosing his team's mood before the game. He also said it doesn't really matter all that much.
"You don't want to be loose," said Rivers. "You want to be nervous, tight, and whatever. But when the game comes you usually exhale and play…it comes down to if it goes in, or if it doesn't go in. It's not much more complicated than that."
His team led the NBA with 66 wins during the regular season, but Rivers said that doesn't mean a thing.
"I don't think there's any more pressure on us than on them," he said. "It's Game 7 and the loser goes home."

XV Reasons Why XV's The Next Big Thing
- Pretty Boy Rob (@BauceSauce)
To accompany XV's new mixtape "Zero Heros," available for free download from Live Mixtapes, we have put together a quick list of why we think XV is the next rapper to look out for. If you disagree then a thousand unicorns will never feel the love of rainbows. And you don't want that now do you?
So this is my beginning
I look to the sky with a cape on my back
And they tell me the sky is the limit
But I don't know why, when I finally fly
Wanna show em all, this is my beginning
- XV, "Smallville"
1. Beta Male
You can't tell Rap Genius™ editors that the world isn't infatuated with Beta Males across all artistic genres right now. From the recent influx of actors like Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Zach Galifinakis, Jonah Hill and Michael Cera to musicians like Cee-Lo Green, Childish Gambino and XV, the world has moved on from the Alpha Male rock stars of the 80's and violent gangsta rappers of the 90's. Beat males are unassuming, and since they are the physical embodiment of "Friend Zone," we think they are harmless… until they fuck yo bitch.
2. Embraces Who He Is
XV likes comic books, collects wrestling action figures and says Weezer is his favorite band. A bold declaration in Hip-Hop. An extension of the Beta Male role, embracing one's nerdiness not only appeals to nerds and hipsters alike, but establishes your identity. Sincerity and "keeping it real" is integral part to being an artist because others will quickly learn you aren't who you say you are, and will stay away from you. Do you think CyHi Da Prince and Vado read Nemesis Comic Books? Probably not, but I'm sure they respect XV for being who he is. If D.A. Wallach fronted like he wasn't a Harvard Grad do you think Rozay would've had him on "Play Your Part"? Doubtful.
Which one of these is not like the others?
3. From Middle-Of-Nowhere...Literally
XV is from Wichita, KS (also birthplace of Survivor host Jeff Probst). However, the current trend in Hip-Hop is discovering talent outside of the large metro areas of LA, NY, ATL and Houston. Gadsen, Alabama and Meridian, Mississippi… heard of those before Yelawolf and Big K.R.I.T.? Not unless you were born there or your car broken down and you got raped by mountain men there. What's interesting to note about Yela, K.R.I.T. and XV is the different sound these artists have created. It's familiar, but unique, which is refreshing to listeners.
4. Different
Piggybacking off the previous point, XV's Midwest upbringing has definitely crafted his sound. Who does he sound like? No one. If you were to make a comparison, you would have to say he is a combination of Lupe if Lu actually had a sense of humor and "a-more-lyrical-and-more-bearable-to-listen-to" Big Sean.
5. Personality
Name me one other artist as flat out fun as XV? You can't, don't even try. Sure, XV goes to town on introspective tracks like Falling Awake and Famous, but "Awesome," "All for Me" and "Foreign Exchange Student" are hands-down the best make you feel good and have a good time songs since Cube's "It Was a Good Day." XV makes me want to hang out with him. And apparently, he's the "most down to earth rapper alive". According to a fan, "Vizzy gave me a comic book from his collection cause he 'didn't play my jam.'"
6. Song Writing
Looky Looky, I've got a Hooky! – Rufio
Most rapper's Achilles Heel is crafting a full song. This is not the case for XV. Other than Kendrick Lamar, I can't name another unsigned artist out now that writes better fully developed songs with well-written/catchy choruses. Examples: Best is Yet To Come, Smallville, All For Me, Awesome, Familiar, When We're Done and Pictures on My Wall.
7. Seven
Drake & 40, Gang Starr, Madvillain, EPMD, Eric.B & Rakim, Pete Rock & CL Smooth are just a few examples of successful rapper/producer duos. Soon we'll be adding XV and Seven to that list. When an artist has a dedicated producer who understands their vision and knows the kind of beats they sound best on, that artist has a competitive advantage over other artists. They are able to develop their own recognizable sound. Plus, they don't have to constantly search for beats or rely on beat submissions by people like this.
9. Productivity
Since he has Seven on his side (as well as The Awesome Sound who produced "Famous"), it seems like every other week there is a new song by XV out on the interwebs. Zero Heroes will mark his 16th mixtape since 2006 in addition to one album and one yet-to-be-released album. For those unfamiliar, one of those mixtapes was his "40 days and 40 Nights," where he released one song every morning and night for 40 days (80 total tracks). That's a lot of quality music by anyone's standards.
8. Original Content
Unlike most artists these days, XV does not run out and hop on every newest "Hot Ass Beat Clap" that comes out. Except for a few freebies like "Words I Never Said" and "H.A.M. (Heroes Amongst Men)," most of his content is original production. Plus, even when he goes over someone else's song he doesn't just spit a shitty 16 bar verse. Vizzy does a full song complete with a modified/original chorus. XV does not have to be taught to write songs. He's already had the practice, which is probably why he got a record deal with Warner Brothers. XV doesn't need to be taught how to write songs or be given pre-packaged singles, he's been making full songs for years instead of mixtapes with nothing but bars.
10. X Factor
There is something special about him: something intangible, a certain je ne sais quoi that makes him stand out of the crowd (and its not just the green backpack). Heavyweights like Just Blaze, Wiz Khalifa and J. Cole all co-sign XV. Is it his grind? His passion? The fact his Uncle Mario was the producer for Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby"?
11. Fanbase
Not to say that it's a gimmick, but artists today enjoy adopting a name for their fans, as it creates more of a community feel and gives people something to relate with. Wiz has Taylor Gang, Curren$y has JETS, Chris Webby has Ninjas (though I don't think there are many of those, but maybe that's because they're ninjas and you aren't supposed to). XV has his Squarians. This collective supports XV and is proud to be square/nerdy/non-cool/nerdy/dweebish/hipster/watchBigBigTheory/whathaveyou.
12. Touring
XV tours constantly. He's been constantly touring since before his Warner Bros Deal, after his WB deal, on the Travie McCoy Sgt. Shlepper's Tour. He is currently on his Animal House tour with The Dean's List and Brenton Duvall. He's been putting in work and perfecting his craft.
13. Live Performance
If you haven't seen XV perform live then you should eat a big bowl of hair because you are a dummy. He is energetic and doesn't need to rock the stage with two other dudes with mics while rapping over his own lyrics. Do yourself a favor. Check the tour dates and go see him. He even impresses aforementioned musician D.A. Wallach:
14. Not an XXL Freshmen
2008's XXL Freshmen class was pretty much null and void. This trend has continued across the 2009 XXL Freshmen and 2010 XXL Freshmen class sans Wiz Khalifa and one or two other artists out of 30. We'll be liberal and say 5 out of 30 artists were successful in blowing up after their cover. That's 16.66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666667%, which is not exactly wowzers. To be fair, this year's class looks poised to make the rap game better; Let's hope Kendrick Lamar's "Section .80" does for him what Kush and OJ did for Wiz, and Lil Twist and Diggy Simmons die of meningitis.
Have that, cause that's something I am not nigga
Cause I done seen how they come and they go
And I've been building the Squarian army on the low
- XV, "Famous"
15. Roman Numerals
Roman Numerals are dope. Disagree? Then may a goat rape you.

Delany: NCAA enforcement 'overmatched', 'need to scrub it'
More: O'Bannon news | On CFB: Dennis Dodd | Jeremy Fowler | Jon Solomon
Think real, live detectives snooping around State U.'s athletic department. Think of a detective agency being hired to snoop around State U.'s athletic department.
Actually, think of anything and pass suggestions along to Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany. As part of their duties in NCAA restructuring, the Big Five commissioners are taking a deep look into the association's enforcement division.
For years – from Miami to Ohio State to USC – you've heard the critics of enforcement. Even Congress has gotten involved from time to time. Now the stakeholders seemingly are interested in an overhaul of the NCAA's most scrutinized department.
Saying the enforcement's ability to develop information is "overmatched", Delany told CBSSports.com his autonomy subcommittee will eventually look into a possible retooling of enforcement. The issue is not on the front burner just yet – with cost of the attendance still to be sorted out – but if Delany has anything to say about it, meaningful change is coming.
"I think anybody who is honest about it, realizes there is not much action right now and we need to scrub [clean] it …," Delany said of enforcement.
The lack of meaningful Division I cases being developed is only one criticism. It's a matter of what the membership wants, Delany said, "because nobody is comfortable with some of the tactics, aggressive tactics. Some people thought they [investigators] crossed the line. Be that as it may, we have to bring cases that can be proven not just bring cases. Are there other ways to do this?"
This is part of a picture being framed in early talks over how autonomy might affect enforcement. The Power Five conferences will have unprecedented power if, as expected, autonomy is granted in August. Those conferences – Big 12, Pac-12, SEC, ACC, Big Ten – would have control over voting in legislation specific to those high-resource schools.
Delany said enforcement changes could be made that affect mostly the 65 schools in the Big Five – Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC, ACC – or all of the 351 schools in Division I.
In an unusual relationship, Delany has consulted on the subject with Julie Roe Lach, the former NCAA enforcement chief. Roe Lach has passed along her longstanding interest in outsourcing enforcement.
"Over time the pendulum has swung on how much enforcement has developed leads in cases," Roe Lach told CBSSports.com. "You can't just rely on self reports from schools. You can't rely just on investigative reporters in media. Should [enforcement] be outsourced? We're exploring outsourcing surveillance and generating leads."
Actually, they're exploring everything. While the former NCAA vice president of enforcement was developing the use of private investigators when she was fired in February 2013 amid the Miami scandal. She detailed for CBSSports.com in February 2012 how the NCAA could hire private investigators on a contract basis to help develop cases.
"Our bylaws," she said at the time, "don't preclude it."
As an expert consultant, Roe Lach has a chance to shape the look of autonomy – if not the NCAA. That's where there's obvious irony. The former enforcement chief – ousted after that scandal -- could have a hand in redesigning her old department.
"I always liked Julie and felt like she was an honest broker," Delany said.
Delany isn't necessarily high about the use of outside investigators but he does want a way around enforcement's Rubik's Cube – developing credible information without subpoena power.
"They're [enforcement] at a competitive disadvantage when developing information compared to law enforcement," he said.
"Can we enhance a check off system where institutions are more aggressive at getting information?"
It's early but one Delany idea is for "raw" information in a case to be turned over to a conference board of directors for scrutiny.
"Maybe there's a way of collecting information short of indicting," he said. "We've got to be more creative, more honest."
Delany's also trying to figure out how to spare penalties to schools that do their diligence but are undermined by, say, a rogue coach like Jim Tressel. Delany referenced the infamous Tatoogate case to make his point.
"The hall of fame coach was gone but the institution turned everything in in short order and did nothing wrong," he said. "If you do all the right things, how do you focus on the perpetrator from the institution?
"My experience has been that, in some ways, we have more compliance than we did 30 years ago … it's not the Wild West. There are elements we have today that we didn't 30 years ago."
That includes the third-party influence in recruiting that schools, that enforcement and commissioners have yet to get their arms around.
Combine that with what Roe Lach referenced as the now well-known talent drain in the enforcement division in the last couple of years. Several longtime and high-profile enforcement officials left over their own frustrations. Some in enforcement felt undermined by Roe Lach's firing.
She recently joined the Horizon League as deputy commissioner and is head of her own consulting business.
"They [NCAA] don't have the current staff to generate cases," Roe Lach said. "The membership has to decide what kind enforcement they want … They wanted an aggressive staff and now they don't want it. Now it's more passive."
New NCAA enforcement director Jon Duncan said his department has stabilized.
Roe Lach suggested that the NCAA could outsource investigations the way the association has drug testing. The NCAA has contracted with the National Center for Drug-Free Sport for association-wide drug testing since 1999. The center was recently sued and has been criticized for uncovering few violations.
Beyond the NCAA, the center is well-known for also having the NBA, NFL and Major League baseball as clients.
"They [NCAA] could outsource investigations, potentially, an arrangement like a Drug-Free Sport where it's like a long-term relationship," Roe Lach said. "You've got to understand the world the membership is living in."
The outsourcing would not involve "adjudication" – meaning the infractions committee – according to Roe Lach. That body, which applies penalties in enforcement cases, already uses outside sources such as retired judges.
She sees enforcement in three separate "buckets" – development of cases, investigation and processing of cases.
A lot of time could be saved, she theorized, with contracted investigators. The NCAA said three years ago the average case was being processed in 11 months. However, high profile cases at USC and Miami each of which took at least four years from start to finish – have raised familiar concerns.
"The point of this is to bring in people that don't have a dog in the fight but have expertise," Roe Lach said.
As mentioned, the Power Five commissioners have to wade through cost of attendance and other autonomy issues before taking on enforcement. All 32 commissioners will be assembling this week at the Collegiate Commissioners Association meeting in Laguna Niguel, Calif.
"I think this [enforcement] is next," Roe Lach said. "This is not even on Delany's top three but after he gets through with the [CCA] agenda this week, enforcement will be in top three next year."

About This Morning: Bromances
A shutout and the first Team Canada natural hat trick since 1956. And a Nation breathes a sigh of relief. This is more like it. Roberto Luongo saw as much action in the first 5 minutes as Carey Price saw in his whole game. And he handled it better. I have nothing against Price. I know he's a great goalie. I'd even be okay with the argument Price is a better NHL goalie. But Luongo is an amazing Olympic goalie. 2010 proved it and this shutout game keeps proving it. So if the Canucks ever make it to another serious...Click here to read more.

I bought the wriggly wrigglere can of worms a few years ago and last year decided to restart it so I ordered the worms and supplement food treat and got it going again, I've had gallons of "worm tea" for fertiliser so hopefully a good year for tomatoes ....
But I have a problem with flies, I don't add anything citrus or any onion it is wet and smelly despite having a tarpaulin over and I have bought Diatomaceous Earth to puff around the inside which hasn't made a lot of differnce. I am now adding shredded. Paper to try and soak up the moisture.
Any ideas what else I can try to get rid of the flies without harming the worms ? They seem perfectly happy in the bottom tray and survived the mild winter In South Wales
never too late ! I'm just a little early
Thank you
Thank you
i think I might do a batch of tomatoes chilli pepper and aubergine sweet peas and find a space indoors to get them going then move them to the green houseand leave some for when it's a bit warmer sow the rest in the greenhouse
Hi folks I'm determined to make 2015 a better year I've chosen the Which?'s recommend peat free seed compost and I have a handful of seed packets so I'm wondering is it too soon to start sowing tomatoes chilli aubergine basil sweet peas and dill in an unheated green house which is lined with bubble wrap?
I don't want to heat the green house and I haven't got any big window sills, I'm in South Wales and the outside temp has been around 4-9c in the day ?
Any thoughts ?
thank you
Thanks Verdun, I've lost a few begonias after discovering they were full of holes but the blooming things I have them drying out in the corner of the green house, is there anything i can do to the tubers before potting them on to ensure they are bug free ? would washing them be sufficient ?
I have four window boxes and they gave destroyed all of my plants from the bottom up, I think tipping them out on to sone huge trays and letting the birds have a feast but I'm not sure if it's worth putting the compost back in or should I start again ? If I tip them on to the veg patch will it do future planting any harm?
If you can't find any peat-free, ask for it. Consumer demand is the single most powerful way to get retailers and manufacturers to change their ways.
More than 94 per cent of the UK's lowland peat bogs have been destroyed or damaged, and a wealth of wildlife along with it. Bogs take thousands of years to form and are home to all sorts of colourful plants, from the signature sphagnum to carnivorous sundew, bladderwort, bog myrtle and cotton grass (which isn't really a grass at all!). They provide an environment for rare dragonflies, spiders and other invertebrates and a feeding ground for birds such as the golden plover, meadow pipits and skylarks.
These days bogs are also of interest because they act as stores of carbon dioxide, and harvesting them releases it into the atmosphere.
You can find out what some of the major retailers offer in the way of peat-free composts in The Wildlife Trusts' leaflet For Peat's Sake.
I bought verve peat free compost and peat free grow bags this year - major disaster I will never buy it again it's so dry and and course with very little nutrient content I've lost lots of plants and lots of plants that just won't grow, who keeps there B&Q receipts and his on earth would you go about complaining ? Invite the manger to inspect your green house ! I want to be environmentally friendly and stay peat free

/// Hearst Sets Launch for First Issue of Dr. Oz, The Good Life
Hearst Magazines will roll out its newest title , Dr. Oz, The Good Life, Feb. 4. With 800,000 copies being distributed, including 375,000 copies on newsstands for $3.99 and another 425,000 going to subscribers of other Hearst titles, The Good Life could well be the biggest consumer magazine launch this year. With The Good Life, Hearst hopes to replicate the stratospheric rise of its other mass, celebrity-based titles. Food Network Magazine rose to a circulation of 1.7 million from a launch distribution of 300,000, while HGTV Magazine grew to 1.1 million from 350,000 at launch. With celebrity-based magazines, there's no guarantee the allure will last, though, as Hearst well knows; O, the Oprah Magazine, while still one of its biggest titles with a 2.4 million circulation, has struggled on the newsstand lately.
