The popularity of the franchise has resulted in Guinness World Records becoming the primary international authority on the cataloguing and verification of a huge number of world records - the organization employs official record adjudicators authorized to verify the setting and breaking of records.

Each edition contains a selection of the large set of records in the Guinness database, and the criteria for that choice have changed over the years. The newest records are added, and the records that have been updated are added too.
Banned from the record book is any feat which the editors feel cannot be duplicated, such as their 1997 refusal to include the first member of the US Armed Forces to get an Eagle Scout Award. Pvt. 1st Class Gregory A. Koval entered the Marines at age 17 during high school under their early-entry program & finished boot camp while still a Boy Scout. He was home on leave when his Eagle Scout Award was approved and awarded after he painted a church for his Eagle Scout project. PVC Koval's Marine Eagle Scout was awarded to him under his USMC title, but since the odds of this feat being repeated was unlikely the book's editors refused to list the young man's accomplishment, even though the US Congress did officially note the award and applauded the young man's insistence on finishing his Eagle Scout despite incipient deployment. The editors state if any feat is a one-time event not likely to be repeated there is no point in including it in the book.
The ousting of Norris McWhirter from his consulting role in 1995 and the subsequent decision by Diageo Plc to sell the Guinness World Records brand have shifted it from a text-oriented reference book, to an illustrated product. This shift means that the majority of world records are no longer listed in the book (or on the website), and can only be determined by a written application to Guinness to 'break' the record. For those unable to wait the 4–6 weeks for a reply, Guinness will process a 'fast-track' application for £300 (~US$450).

The 2006 version was dubbed "the world's biggest international event," with an estimated 100,000 people participating in over 10 countries.

Ethical issues and safety concerns
Several world records that were once included in the book have been removed for ethical reasons. By publishing world records in a category, the book may encourage others to try to beat that record, even at the expense of their own health and safety. For example, following publication of a "heaviest fish" record, many fish owners overfed their pets beyond the bounds of what was healthy, so entries such as these were removed. The Guinness Book also dropped records within their "eating and drinking records" section of Human Achievements in 1991 over concerns that potential competitors could do harm to themselves and expose the publisher to potential

and rally driving (on public roads), were closed from further entry as the current holders had performed beyond what are considered safe human tolerance levels. Earlier editions also made reference to former King Zog of Albania holding the world record for amount of cigarettes consumed being c.150 per day.
There have been instances of closed records being reopened. For example, the sword swallowing record was listed as closed in 1990 Guinness Book of World Records, but the

The Guinness Book of Records holds the record for the book most often stolen from libraries.
Rested categories
On 10 December 2010 The Guinness World Records rested its new "dreadlock" category after investigation of its first and only female title holder
Asha Mandela
with this official statement:
"Following a review of our guidelines for the longest dreadlock, we have taken expert advice and made the decision to rest this category. The reason for this is that it is difficult, and in many cases impossible, to measure the authenticity of the locks due to expert methods employed in the attachment of hair extensions/ re-attachment of broken off dreadlocks. Effectively the dreadlock can become an extension and therefore impossible to adjudicate accurately. It is for this reason Guinness World Records has decided to rest the category and will no longer be monitoring the category for longest dreadlock."

After Breakfast -- Dr Himes & I rode down to the city overtaking Lieuts Wing & Horbert[357] on the way -- rained -- We rode through city stopped at Rebel Hosp. saw young asst Surgn -- Rode around to the "Pavilion" found Dr Grinsted Goodman & Himes there -- I return at 10-10 -- stop to protect the mulatto women & arrest the soldier -- Hospital arrives here at 3 P.M but we have so large an "elephant"[358] that we cannot get it well cared for to-night.[Page 357]Thursday, December 22 Same Place. Weather cooler -- sunrise bright but somewhat cloudy during day. I have been officer of the day, and very busy with house cleaning, & arranging our own room, and the wards. Surgn Himes took the outside. 17 Rebels convalescents & sick sent here this [day?] -- They seem well disposed -- Our supply of blankets small. Mr. King, Principal of Female Academy & Bogart of Male academy have been carrying away their books.[359] They seem quite surprized that they are disturbed in their school. The "Matron" of Wayside House seems disturbed & peevish because her affairs are interfered with.[360] They have some things yet to learn of war.[Notes][356] On the night of December 20 Hardee, realizing that no reinforcements had been dispatched to assist him, evacuated the city. He was able to cross the Savannah River over improvised bridges with his entire force into South Carolina without being detected.[357] Probably 1st Lieutenant William S. Herbert who enlisted in Company C, 85th Indiana Infantry in May 1862.[358] I.e, too large a task to complete quickly.[359] Possibly Rev. Charles King; his school may have been the Savannah Institute for Young Ladies. William S. Bogart was the principal of the Chatham Academy Classical School for Boys; his school would be utilized as the hospital for the 3rd Division, 20th Army Corps.[360] A "Wayside House" neither appears in the city directories nor is mentioned in the newspapers of Savannah during this time. It is possible that the establishment Bennitt refers to was a house of prostitution and the "Matron" its madam.

A View on the Market
Mark Cameron on the
changing face of the City.
Mark shares his views on how the City jobs market is changing.
Believe it or not, it's almost 5 years since the rumours of a collapse in global financial markets first arose. Depending on what side of bed I get up on I fluctuate between thinking "wow! How time has flown" and "damn! It's felt more like 15 years". Regardless, for many staff working in financial services and insurance, the last few years have generally held fairly bleak memories. I don't think anyone would deny that the City has changed dramatically since the heady pre-GFC days.
Bankers, in particular, have been painted as a popular public villain; the kind of characters that a parent might use to frighten small children. "Don't misbehave Little Johnnie, or a banker will steal your money box to beef up his bonus!" And while banks and bankers may have played their part, I'm sure that in the fullness of time history will identify there was a breadth of causes for the 'credit bubble'.
Nevertheless, life hasn't been easy for those still working in the City, whether you're a banker or not. As someone running a business which aligns itself closely to the fortunes of banks, investment managers and insurers I've watched closely how the market for talent has changed during this time. Recently I found myself reflecting on just how much employment opportunities in the City had changed in the last few years. I was quite surprised by the starkness of the findings.
When the Global Financial Crisis first hit, much of the initial impact on jobs was cushioned by highly flexible workforces engaged on equally flexible compensation structures weighted towards bonuses (I won't debate the merits of bonuses here). The impact of these arrangements meant that the number of job losses in 2008/9 was lower than one might have expected given the scale of the crisis. In many respects, the market is perhaps now arriving at more realistic employment levels. Although the potential size and scope of the City continues to be heavily impacted by the events still unfolding across the Eurozone.
It will come as little surprise to many to learn that there are now 28% fewer people working in London and Canary Wharf than there was in 2007. The CEBR's latest estimates suggests that there will be 255,000 people employed in the sector at the end 2012 down from 354,000 in 2007.
In 2007 roles were plenty, candidates were few: for every 10 roles that came to the market, there were only 8 available candidates. In Q1 2012, for every 10 roles that came to market there were 23 candidates to choose between. It's a buyers market.
Despite this, a job in the City still pays fairly well when compared to many other sectors. However despite the widely held view that everyone in the City is earning millions, the median salary in the sector was just under £42,000 in 2011. The average salary is approximately £74,000 suggesting that there are still a few folks taking home some hefty pay packets.
According to the CEBR the bonus pool for 2012 is likely to be about one fifth of the 2007 pot. The proportion of this paid in taxes has risen from 54% to 59% over the same period.
The City remains a major contributor to tax – estimates by PwC suggest that something of the order of £63 billion was paid over to HMRC by the Financial Service industry in 2011. This is up from £53 billion in 2010 and represents more than 12% of total government receipts from all taxes. It's in everyone's interests to see the City flourishing again soon.
But it's not all doom and gloom. London is still the number one global financial centre and is proving to be somewhat of a safe haven for capital in uncertain times. This strong position combined with a history of product innovation, a growing yuan market and some of the best and brightest brains in the world means the City still has some life in it yet.

im not sure I'm going to enter it into the cheltenham illustration awards thingy, simply because its £12.50 which i would prefer to spend on a nice vintage jumper and its not really good enough anyways.

Evening with Geoff and the [name removed] Quartet
:: Tuesday, July 12th, 2005 @ 11:59:52 pm
:: Tags: Music
I … don't … feel so well (reference, anyone?). I've been almost utterly unproductive all day, having spent hours upon hours fighting with a server migration instead of doing work that clearly has to be done. Luckily, Vienna came over and rescued me; we went to Koryo for some late-night sushi before we parted ways (she, to the studio, and I, back home…).
hangin' w/[name removed]
Geoff Nuttall invited me over last night for an evening of chili, guacamole, margaritas, and wine with the [name removed] Quartet and associated branches of the [name removed] family (Emily, Andrew, Caroline, Miguel, and Anna). Those of you who know Geoff know that he is crazy about all things extreme — especially when food is involved. The guacamole, chili, margaritas, and creatively mixed drinks were all awesome.
Actually, I should take a moment to relate an anecdote about Geoff. Last weekend while we were up in Sonoma, I spotted a bag of chips at a food store in the Petaluma Outlet Mall. I looked at Warren and said, "Oh my god. I have to get this for Geoff." The bag itself was jet black, with lots of red lettering on it, and printed on it was a chili meter that went to the very top. :) Later on that day, Chee-Yun delivered the bag to Geoff, who promptly ate the entire thing, after realizing that it was way to spicy for anyone else to want any of it. After finishing the bag, Geoff decided to go for a run — and unfortunately, a horrible run was what he got. Apparently, combining a bag of ultra-spicy potato chips with a run is a good way to make you feel like dying. :)
Anyway, back to the [name removed]. I didn't get to spend any time with them during the festival earlier this month, and it was great fun getting to know them. A [name removed] epiphyte, I latched on and tried to absorb what I could of their incredible knowledge of all things baroque. But mostly, I just got drunk and let it fly over my head — appreciatively, of course.
They (all but I, I mean) are also incredibly knowledgeable about jazz, and other types of music. The first thing the [name removed] did when they walked in the door was to put in a CD track of an anonymous passacaglia from the 17th century, which they had been listening to on repeat for who knows how long. The damn thing is still stuck in my head! :)
Our musical evening was interrupted by several events:
1) Geoff took out the clippers and cut all my hair off. Despite how it may have looked, my shearing was planned in advance and had nothing to do with intoxication.
2) We discovered that Miguel and Anna both know my ex-girlfriend, and spent some time wowing about how small the world is. How my ex-girlfriend's name came up during conversation is sort of a mystery.
3) Dance Dance Revolution, and sucking at it. Everyone seemed to be DDR neophytes. I didn't play.
4) A velociraptor, and relative chaos when I was told that I should photograph it and post photos on the web.
The [name removed] Quartet performed Haydn in Sonoma last week, and opened tonight for a baroque festival in Belvedere (insert high-brow, pseudo-British, "auommmph" noises here). I wish I could have been there.
Anyway, I hope I can get some sleep and wake up feeling productive. Actually, I don't have much of a choice. I have to be productive, tomorrow.

(NECN: Peter Howe, Boston) For 44 years the weekly Bay State Banner has been known as the leading journalistic voice of Boston's African-American community. But now, as the whole newspaper business struggles, it's on the brink of going out of business, and that voice goes silent next week -- maybe, forever.
Banner publisher Melvin Miller said in an NECN interview Tuesday, "We've suspended publication and laid off personnel, and we're not prepared at this point to continue publication.''
Compared to a Chicago Defender, Atlanta Daily World or Baltimore Afro-American, the Banner's http://www.baystatebanner.com/ always struggled for a critical mass of readers in Boston, where blacks make up about 25 percent of the city's 600,000 population. "We're only ranked 21 as far as the size of the black population goes" among U.S. cities, Miller noted.
But, Miller says the Banner's problem is all newspapers' problem: plunging ad sales, which are the only source of revenue for the free 34,000-circulation paper. "I would say it's probably primarily what's affecting the whole industry" that's led to publication suspension, Miller said.
The Rev. Jeffrey Brown, who runs the Ten Point Coalition http://www.bostontenpoint.org/ , Boston's leading faith-based inner-city social advocacy group, said, "The bay state banner is a key voice in the African-American community ... You get positive stories out of the Bay State Banner. You get news articles that you wouldn't normally get out of a major newspaper such as the Globe and the Herald ... The fact that it's suspending its publication is a tragedy for the community. It means one of our major voices has been silenced.''
Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino said: "They were the voice of the minority community in boston. I hope that we're able to bring it back shortly ... We need to have the Bay State Banner in Boston, and i've offered my help to several individuals who are close to the situation.'' The mayor did not elaborate, and he joked: "That doesn't mean we're going to help the Globe or the Herald.''
Now, the banner has been here once before, back in April 1966, when it shut down for four weeks until the community rallied enough advertisers to get it back into business. But newspapers were a vibrant business then. And Miller, who's dipped into his own resources to sustain the Banner during other economic slowdowns, is not so up for another fight to survive.
"You have to understand that as I approach my 75th birthday, I decided it was time to get some younger people who are interested in carrying on the tradition of the Banner,'' said Miller, who will reach the milestone birthday later this month. "We did have some people who were interested. But all of a sudden, when the economy began to tank, interest seemed to diminish.''
But, Miller added: "If people are really interested, they'd better act fast before my really talented staff starts to disperse.''
Howe: It would be a labor of love and no way to get rich -- but a buyer of the Banner would inherit a unique, and uniquely powerful, voice in Boston.

MOUSSY mid-week ROCKstar-ego-boost
Tasmanian ballroom – a luxe pool hall, home to private tables, flaming champagne bottles, models and business men - played its part as the backdrop to 'MOUSSY's' fashion partaaaaaay last Tuesday night.
Breaking all the rules, starting with a mid-week mash-up of free flow alcohol and sexed-up models posing lankily with hips thrust forward and hair hanging long in a wild but appropriately in a rock-chic manner, this launch was literally an excuse to egg-on rock-god alter-ego's and pretend the Tuesday night was not a school night but instead a Saturday full of drunken potential.
The brand MOUSSY (a Japanese innovation, launched in Hong Kong 2006) exhibited last Tuesday what seemed to be the essence and inspiration derived from their Muse.
Instead of showing the collection in a normal catwalk manner, MOUSSY brought each attendee INTO the MOUSSY world, showcasing instead the edginess and independent attitude that marks their wearers and dubs their muse as perfectly MOUSSY!
A brand for the essential Rock God/dess – themed ROCKSTAR, the AW11 collection is heavily influenced by the rock music scene in the 70′s. Tracing back to MOUSSY's philosophy of "Be Myself, Sexy and Cool", this seasons concept transforms MOUSSY's muse as a glam rock star or a devoted groupie. Like 70′s rock music exuberating freedom and power, she is wild, daring and free spirited; radiating allure and style at the same time. Black, grey, Bordeaux and dark military green dominating the season colour palette, with leopard and jaguar pattern widely seen throughout the collection.MOUSSY is a functional brand that texturizes itself with street practicality and bedroom appeal – all accentuated with it's rock glam nature.
As wild as this party was, YOU can be in MOUSSY apparel!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"This card was a prefect fit for our wedding thank you card. Our colors were yellow and grey which this card offered. The font that was offered was not my favorite so I asked for a script and the the wedding paper divas were able to meet my needs. I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. The paper quality was very nice not cheaper feeling or looking. I would highly recommend this card."
"I'm a naturalist, so these butterflies fit beautifully for my invitations, reply cards and thank you notes. The plum was colorful without being too bold. The font was lovely and appropriate. I was sent the proofs quickly and had to double check them, therefore the results were perfect."
"I bought these in the navy with white as my thank you notes and changed the words to say With Love and Thanks. I was very pleased with this card. The paper quality is excellent, the lines on the flowers are clear, not sloppy, and the product shipped very quickly. One thing to be mindful of, when you get the card, the flowers do take on a gentle pink-ish hue, very light, but if you're expecting stark white, it is not, at least mine are not. But the card is still beautiful."
"These cards are so beautiful & I loved how personalized they were! I used them as thank you notes for all my shower & bachelorette party gifts. Its a really nice touch to show these cards are personalized for you, and the occasion of getting married. You have the flexibility to change any of the fonts and pick you colors. The turn around time was very fast, and the quality of the paper & printing were great. I am reordering more thank you notes in this style in pink! I received a lot of compliments from people who received the cards about how cute they were! I would definitely recommend these cards."
"Perfectly matches the invitations I ordered. Arrived promptly as I desired along with my invitations. They even came with tissue paper to go inside! My only drawback is I wish I had used our last name on the outside of the card instead of our first names, just personal preference. Paper quality is again, excellent. I've used this company several times and am always pleased."

Our first property in NEW ZEALAND! This must be the perfect Honeymoon location - a secluded traditional cottage with complete privacy, views across plains to the mountains and a bath under the stars! Days out include great wine, great beaches, and fantastic 'Lord of the Rings' scenery. Step back in time and experience the romance of life a hundred years ago here on the Wairarapa Plains. We toured both islands of New Zealand and saw all areas...and this is about the best accommodation you'll find. The cottage sits overlooking a private lagoon amongst a working sheep and beef farm. It is entirely off-grid but completely comfortable - in fact of our 6 month world-tour of all continents it was our favourite place to stay. There are stunning 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains, hills and Wairarapa plains. Built of entirely recycled materials the cottage is home to many antique heirlooms. One of the many highlights of this unique little cottage is being able to bathe outside under a myriad of stars! See extra photos of this amazing New Zealand cottage. The cottage:
Loading Google Map Please wait Train: If you aim to travel between the North and South Islands of New Zealand by motorhome/ car you'll find this cottage is perfectly situated just off the traditional route between Auckland and Wellington (ie, so you'd have been passing here in any case!).

When we stayed we ended up doubling the length of the stay after arrival, and simply chilling out after the big rush around the rest of the islands!
This must be one of our 'greenest' properties - entirely off-grid!

Some African-American athletes believe they have a duty to use the money they make to give back to the community.
TAMPA - It is not enough, Bucs linebacker Derrick Brooks said, just to pose for a photo, kiss a sick child or sign an occasional check.
Those are superficial gestures.
For Brooks - and other African-American professional athletes - the real commitment to give back to the community and, in particular, the black community, goes much deeper.
The motivation, Brooks said, should be desire and obligation.
"I don't want people to get my message mixed up," said Brooks, whose philanthropic endeavors have earned him state and national recognition. "I never wanted to be considered one that wrote a check or gave tickets away and you never saw me again. ... My program (Brooks Bunch) is a time-invested program, not a money-invested program."
Today is the final day of Black History Month, a tradition aimed at honoring African-American pioneers whose brilliance and dedication have impacted modern life.
To be certain, black professional athletes have and will continue to be part of that tradition. Right or wrong, they routinely will be measured as much by what they do on the field as by their actions and influence off it.
"I applaud the efforts of people like Derrick Brooks," said Delano Stewart, a prominent black leader and co-founder of the Tampa Organization of Black Affairs. "But I scold (the others) who have done nothing. We shouldn't have to harangue them for (donations).
"Our society as a whole is about looking out for No. 1. We have become greedy and selfish because of the capitalist nature of our lives. Those who give back are in the minority, not the majority."
Scathing as Stewart's comments seem, they reflect a longstanding sentiment in the black community: Black athletes are measured by the degree to which they give back.
"Among blacks, there is a deep sense of community," said Trevor Purcell, chairman of the Department of Africana Studies at South Florida. "The idea is that each member does not live only for oneself, but for the community. It is a tradition that goes deep in black American history (and back as far as African history). We're not defined as an individual, but as part of a society.
"There is a sense that if you do well, you do have an obligation to give back. If you do, you're accepted. If you don't, you're open to alienation."
Some understand that role and embrace it.
Bucs defensive tackle Anthony McFarland, who signed a five-year, $34-million contract extension in August, is entering the fourth year of his Booger's Bucs Can Wait program, aimed at encouraging middle and high schoolers to make informed decisions.
McFarland, 26, who recently spoke at a Children's Day Rally in Pinellas Park, said he is determined to make a difference.
"It's not that it's a mandatory thing, but a lot of guys that are leaning toward doing it do it out of the goodness of their hearts," McFarland said. "You've got to be able to take all the heat and then show what good you've been doing in the community. It's really up to us."
Just 22, Devil Rays outfielder Carl Crawford is blossoming into one of baseball's future stars. Entering his second full season in the big leagues, Crawford said he looks forward to becoming a person of influence in the black community.
"I do feel I'm obligated to do well to represent black people," he said. "We should all want to go out and play hard. When I go out and play hard, I can open doors for people behind me. From the area I'm from (in Houston), no one is going to go over there looking for talent, and there's probably all kinds of talent over there. It's up to me to perform well so that others will want to go there to look for talent."
Tampa resident James Blake, the most prominent African-American on the men's tennis tour, is deeply dedicated to the Harlem Junior Tennis Program, where he learned the game, and Shriners Hospitals, where he spent time as a child suffering from scoliosis.
"A lot of it is personal connections, and I feel very personally attached to these causes," Blake said. "With the efforts of Venus and Serena (Williams), we're trying to make a difference in the African-American community. To hear that there are so many who don't care is disturbing. Sometimes, it's not really that they don't care, but more that they don't realize what impact they have and how they can make a difference."
According to a study conducted by the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports, a University of Central Florida think tank that tracks the number of minorities in major sports, entering 2003, African-American athletes accounted for 78 percent of the NBA and 65 percent of the NFL, the two sports with the greatest following in the black community.
The overwhelming numbers, many believe, have contributed to high expectations and condemnation toward those who don't meet them.
"In the American context, where individualism marks the society, people will argue those expectations are too great," Purcell said. "In the black community, those expectations are too low. My sense is that if African-Americans want to maintain the sense of community, then our athletes have to contribute."
But are such expectations fair?
Women's tennis player Chanda Rubin, whose foundation, based in Lafayette, La., promotes youth tennis by sponsoring tournaments across the country, said her motivation isn't duty, but desire.
"For me, it's about personal feelings and journeys," Rubin said. "I don't feel any obligation because the black community has made me feel so. First and foremost, the way I'm looked on is based on the work I have put in. It's a pleasure to be able to do things I feel strongly about."
Magic guard Tracy McGrady, in the midst of a seven-year, $94-million contract, grew up in modest conditions in Auburndale and knows the rarity of his journey from an unknown to a person of tremendous influence.
McGrady said, like it or not, black professional athletes must acknowledge and live up to the expectations that come with status.
"It's not that it's fair. It's just how society is," McGrady said. "We have to deal with it. I feel like it's my job. It's my obligation. The truth is, I want to try to make a difference. I was the kid looking up trying to meet guys like Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan.
"I wondered what it would be like to be in their shoes. Now that I'm here, I want to be there for the little kids who want to be like me. It's only right that I do that."
Brooks, who has taken youngsters from the Belmont Heights and Ybor City Boys & Girls Clubs on educational trips across the country and to South Africa, said he embraces an even deeper burden.
"No. 1, we should be obligated to our families, our own sons and daughters," he said. "My first obligation is to raise productive kids. They are my lineage, my top priority. Then you can become a messenger to young African-American boys and girls."
Former NBA great Charles Barkley riled America in 1993 with his statement that professional athletes should not be considered role models, a designation left for parents. But while such a stand appears to be the unpopular view among black athletes, embracing role-model status does come with important distinctions.
"You are in the position of being a role model, so be the best you can," said Brooks, who earned a master's degree in business communication at Florida State. "I'm not encouraging people to put athletes or celebrities on any type of pedestal because we are human and we do make mistakes.
"That's why I spend time around these kids. They see me as a person and not see me as an idol. They can see when I'm walking, I trip over my feet and fall. They can see my emotion, see me getting upset when things aren't going right. They can see how happy I get when things are great."
Falcons running back Warrick Dunn, who spent five seasons with the Bucs, has been largely recognized as one of sports' most generous personalities. Dunn's Homes for the Holiday program, which provides the down payment and start-up furnishings for homes for single mothers, has put 45 families, including 120 children, in homes in the bay area, Atlanta and Baton Rouge, La.
"African-American kids today only see one side, and that's the money, the cars, the jewelry, certain lifestyles that everybody wants to live," Dunn said. "Sometimes, they forget that everyone can't live like that, that most of us need a helping hand. It's important to show that even though you have money and (influence), you're willing to try to help somebody else live a better life."
But Dunn, who is entering the third year of a six-year, $28-million contract, said the black athlete is measured by a different grading system.
"It's not fair," he said. "I don't think we look at white athletes the same way. Some don't do nearly as much as the African-American athletes. White athletes are not hyped up to live up to the same standards. The added pressure is on African-American athletes to go out and live certain ways and do certain things and to have that persona that I don't think white athletes have to deal with."
Rubin, 28, agrees.
"I think, in some ways, the black community puts different criteria on black athletes than white," she said. "Sometimes, we're harder on ourselves than on others. If something is done positively by a white athlete, much more is still made out of it. As opposed to if something is done (negatively) by a black athlete, much more is made of that."
In a similar vein, the black athlete appears more likely to face open criticism for a lack of financial, social and political support for his community once his career ends.
McGrady said there is good reason for the criticism.
"Magic (Johnson) is a prime example of someone who is doing a phenomenal job of giving back and being involved in the community (politically and financially)," McGrady said. "You have to respect the guy like that. But he might be one of the exceptions. Why can't we all be like that? We are all fortunate enough to have the things and do the things that he's doing. So why can't we just take what he's doing and do it in our own community?
While legends such as Johnson, Jim Brown, Muhammad Ali and Arthur Ashe parlayed their popularity into influential postretirement careers, it seems as if the vast majority of black athletes quietly slip away.
"Most black athletes have been taught, from when we were young, to get ours," the Rays' Crawford said. "No one's going to give me anything, so I have to get mine for myself.
"It's kind of like a selfish thing. It's like, "I have mine, so I'm set.' ... But coming from a background of not having anything is humbling. ... I don't want kids growing up feeling the same way. I'm going to try to help."
Part of the problem, critics say, is a distancing between the black athletes and their original communities.
"They are tied to neighborhoods that are not tied to the black community," USF's Purcell said. "They are living in areas that have very few black people. When their careers are over, they can't go back into the black community because they have very little in common with it."
The other issue is education. With more and more athletes forgoing college for pro riches, Purcell said athletes in general are missing a key ingredient that could make them formidable community leaders.
"Look at the people who have been prominent socially. They are people who have excelled educationally in some capacity," Purcell said. "Arthur Ashe was a scholar. Ali was a scholar (in his own way). The athletes don't see education as being important for themselves and their community."
Rubin, whose father is a judge and mother a retired teacher, said the lack of knowledge must be addressed:
"A lot of them are very young, and all of a sudden, you're putting money in their hands. And they are not as educated as others. It's a totally different terrain. There are a lot of guys who don't even know the history. They don't understand what many former athletes lived through, the issues, civil rights."
The bottom line, Blake said, is giving back shouldn't be an issue.
"At least not for anyone who has been fortunate to have a career that's lucrative," Blake said. "It is magnified a bit in the African-American community, where we don't have as many CEOs of companies and other professionals like that.
"But what I say is that without pressure, there is no opportunity. Sometimes, pressure is a good thing."

Netivot is a city in the Southern District of Israel in Israel. At the end of 2009 the city had a total population of 26,700. It was founded in 1956 as a development town along with Sderot to the north, and Ofakim to the south. Netivot attracts a number of mainly Sephardi Jewish pilgrims, who come to pray at the tomb of Rabbi Yisrael Abuhatzeira, a Moroccan-born tzaddik and kabbalist known as the "Baba Sali" (died 1984) who is buried there.

Canada's World Junior team got a big boost on Thursday as both Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brett Connolly and Anaheim Ducks forward Devante Smith-Pelly were granted permission to join the team for the 2012 tournament.
The pair of NHLers will add a boost of experience to a young roster that only boasts three returning members from the silver medal-winning 2011 team.
In 27 games played with the Lightning, the 19-year-old Connolly has recorded four goals and four assists with a minus-1 rating.
Smith-Pelly, meanwhile, has scored three goals and two assists with a minus-10 rating in 26 games with the Ducks.
"This is a great opportunity for Devante to continue his development," said Ducks executive vice president and general manager Bob Murray. "He's improving each day as an NHL player and we hope he can continue his progress after playing for his country."
Connolly is expected to join the team in camp on Friday in Calgary, while no timeline has been announced for Smith-Pelly.
