Zen martial arts practice accentuates the absence of desire, ultimate stillness which gives rise to motion, and through motion one reflects upon oneself (body, mind, and qi), so as to keep body, mind, and qi integrated. Thus, it is necessary to achieve a pure heart and a clear conscience.
A serious kung fu practitioner must be vegetarian. Understanding the importance of adhering to a healthy diet, together with exercises will help open up all apertures, encourage good metabolism. The body becomes relaxed and natural.
According to traditional Shaolin kung fu principles, kung fu training is also the training of the mind. If the mind is not focused, it will adversely affect quality of ones training.
When the mind is at peace and the heart concentrates, the body will be relaxed, and your breathing will be smooth, training will achieve better results. Training is about perseverance, dedication, and diligence. Behold the spirit of constant effort brings success. Haste makes waste and dedication brings success.
Shaolin Wugulun style kung fu is the orthodox Shaolin martial arts. It consists of practical fighting techniques created in the last thousand years by warrior monks of Shaolin Temple through actual combat.
Through generations of refinement and extraction, Shaolin martial arts grew into a system of martial arts, which integrates Zen practice and practical combat. The unique training method has also turned this system into a brilliant health maintenance and convalescence tool.
Kung fu emphasizes on power, forges the coordination of the whole body through the integration of heart, mind, and qi, the synchronization of hands and feet, as well as swiftness and the agility of the body without brute force. One must seek lightness, agility, adhesion, and rotation in practice; start from elementary to complex, from complex to simple, and ultimately return to the core values and true principles.
Kung Fu Zen Garden Retreat, an internationally renowned organization for traditional Chinese kung fu and Zen practice, dedicated to the promotion of traditional Chinese culture through kung fu and Zen practice.

They strive to be a driving force in promoting cultural exchange, physical, and spiritual wellbeing as well as connecting the world through kung fu and Zen.
Chinese kung fu, also known as traditional Chinese Wushu or Guo Shu, is a very important part of ancient Chinese Culture. It is a window for the world to gain an insight to the five thousand year old civilization.
Inheriting the inner essence of Confucianism, Taoism, and Zen philosophy, Chinese kung fu focuses on both internal and external refinement. As the saying goes "first mastering techniques to help defend oneself, then mastering skill to help oneself to improve body and mind, finally mastering the ultimate essence of Tao to enlightenment".
"Zen" is a method of cultivating insight with concentration, physical, and spiritual practice. By observing motion from stillness, you gain wisdom, which brings inner peace and harmony between humans and nature. Practice and study of Zen philosophy combines motion and stillness. The combination of kung fu and Zen represents the essence of the unity which grants deeper meaning of Chinese kung fu.
Professor Paul Wang, as a chief master, is now teaching meditation, insight calligraphy, and mindfulness Tai Chi at the Live Zen Center of the China Culture Center. As an invited instructor, he also teaches traditional Chinese thought for international programs at Capital Normal University and the Institute of Education. He has taught international students for over 10 years. His study and practice includes the principal classics of Confucius and Laozi, and three types of Buddhism meditation systems - Southeast Asia Buddhism, Chinese Zen Buddhism, and Tibetan Buddhism.

For practiced kung fu enthusiasts, they offer longer programs from several months to several years to help you grow and develop your kung fu, traditional philosophy, meditation, and internal cultivation and calligraphy within your daily life in a professional, masterful way.
The academy only provides vegetarian food. In traditional Shaolin culture, the vegetarian diet that the students eat at Wugulun Kung Fu Academy is believed to cleanse the body from impurities in the blood, while making the qi tranquil, and helping to create a peaceful state of mind.
Shaolin Temple is an ancient Buddhist temple. Shaolin kung fu and a vegetarian diet have always been a part of its culture. Traditional kung fu training is about saving and storing energy for every organ. You eat in order to get energy.
Energy in natural food comes from the sun, the air, the water, and the earth. By going directly to the earth for their food, vegetarians receive the purest, best-quality energy straight from its source, not already processed by another being, such as an animal.
It is believed that this energy, of a finer quality, can be used for a higher purpose like kung fu and meditation. During the Ming Dynasty, the Manchurians were trying to seize China by force while the imperial government of the Ming Dynasty was corrupt and incompetent. At that time, scholars who were trying to save the country wrote books expounding theories on how this could be done. They also advocated the practice of martial arts.
When the Manchu's finally invaded China, many people with high ideals and integrity did not want to be slaves under a new regime so they fled to the mountains and lived in seclusion. Some entered into a religious life.
They focused on martial arts intensively in order to acquire the fighting skills to regain their country. Many of them already had good kung fu skills and brought together their collective knowledge of various local styles of kung fu to create a refined form.
As time went on, Shaolin Wugulun Kung Fu constantly improved and developed. Another important factor in Shaolin kung fu reaching such a high level of skill and importance is the vegetarianism of the Shaolin monks, who were all Buddhist and followed Buddhas teachings of eating no meat.
The monks saw vegetarianism as a means of reaching a high level of training. In addition, being a vegetarian can aid the practitioner in achieving a higher level of endurance while training and fighting.
For example, animals like horses and buffalos are vegetarian, their main diet consists of grass and they have a tremendous amount of stamina while running, even when encumbered with heavy things. On the other hand, tigers and leopards, with their diet of meat only are only able to maintain short periods of power.
From a scientific point of view, when an animal is killed, it is known that in their state of shock, an animal undergoes a process, by which its cells alter and create poisons in the flesh.
Buddhists believe that these poisons represent anger and fear, and remain trapped inside the animals flesh. When people eat this meat, the poisons and impurities enter their body, and people can easily get sick, angry, and depressed.
When the mind and the body are in this unbalanced state, people cannot continue training on a regular basis. For traditional Shaolin culture, therefore, vegetarianism is not only important for religious beliefs, it is important for maintaining a healthy body as well.
Vegetarianism is a necessary foundation for attaining a high level of kung fu skills. Without a healthy body, ones' kung fu cannot improve. In addition, vegetarianism helps to cleanse the body from impurities in the blood, while making the qi tranquil and helping to create a peaceful state of mind.
Morality, ethics, and honor are other related issues. A kung fu practitioner spends his life studying something that in a split second, without a second thought, could be used to harm or kill someone. This ability has to be controlled.
The answer is the cultivation of a caring heart for all living creatures. A first basic principle should be to refuse to kill and eat animals. The anger that is brought out by combat training must be balanced out with a conscious effort to treat all people with compassion, understanding, and tolerance. Such principles of caring help create a balanced and healthy mind in which there is no threat that a kung fu practitioner will consider criminal wrongdoing.
As this level of conscience develops and expands, it helps to diminish negative feelings and behavior such as greed, anger, violence, and criminal acts of all kinds. This in turn allows the conscience of the kung fu practitioners to rise higher, and for them to eventually reach a state of enlightenment. An enlightened being has total awareness of his or her own self, body, and surrounding environment.
Enlightened kung fu practitioners are aware of fear and danger before ever seeing or knowing the source of those feelings and their reactions to danger, whether in training or in real combat, are much faster. This is essential for mastering high-level kung fu skills and vegetarianism is a vital element in reaching this state of total and complete awareness.
It is a concern for many people that vegetarian food does not supply enough nutrition to the body. This is, in fact, not the case. When eating a balanced vegetarian diet, the body will receive ample nutrition for vitality and health. Master Shi Dejian and his disciples are living proof of this. Vegetarianism is essential for those who are serious about mastering the highest levels of kung fu.

Although international affairs lead all papers, above-the-fold photos of Serena Williams celebrating her U.S. Open victory dominate the front pages. The New York Times leads with the restarting of negotiations over China's entry into the World Trade Organization; the other papers refer the story. The Los Angeles Times leads with an exclusive: In an interview a Yugoslav general threatened to reenter Kosovo by force if the United Nations does not allow Serb soldiers back into the province. The Washington Post leads with Indonesia's softening stance on allowing peacekeepers into violence-torn East Timor; the other papers also front the story.
The chief of Indonesia's armed forces, Gen. Wiranto, expressed willingness to accept an "accelerated deployment" of peacekeeping troops. Hours later Wiranto reframed his message by saying that he would consider "security cooperation." Indonesia's U.N. ambassador asserted that it was not time for peacekeepers. President Clinton suggested that the U.S. military might offer logistical support for an Australian-led peace force. The Post reports that a 10-member U.S. military team arrived in Australia to help plan for an East Timor operation.
The NYT boldly heads its story "Jakarta Concedes A Loss of Control," but the LAT makes clear that no coherent message is emanating from Jakarta. The paper underscores that Gen. Wiranto made his comments in informal talks with a U.N. delegation he was escorting around East Timor. The general acknowledged that some of his troops might be allying themselves with violent anti-independence militia groups.
The LAT and NYT report that during the high-ranking U.N. delegation's visit to East Timor no shots were heard, but the officials could see that the city was in ruins. In the East Timorese U.N. compound, civilians cowered in fear of the next paramilitary onslaught. The Post reviews evidence of atrocities tied to the Indonesian military. A human rights group reported that hundreds of East Timorese have been shot or hacked to death, including: U.N. employees, members of the Red Cross, priests, and infants.
Presidents Clinton and Jiang Zemin instructed their negotiators to resume talks on China's entry into the WTO. Negotiations soured last April when Clinton rejected a promising deal. Espionage allegations and the bombing of China's Belgrade embassy further stalled relations. The NYT assesses the meeting as a significant sign that the rift between China and the U.S. is healing. The Post fronts a photo of Jiang and Clinton sharing a good-natured laugh, but its inside account emphasizes that the leaders made "no tangible progress." The paper cautions that it remains unclear whether China will recommit to cutting its tariffs to 10 percent and phasing out import restrictions in exchange for WTO membership.
The Yugoslav army claims it might invade Kosovo because the U.N. has failed to protect non-Albanian civilians. The LAT reports that Serb paramilitaries may already be infiltrating Kosovo through the French-protected sector of the province. A senior French commander acknowledged that peacekeeping officials suspect Serbian paramilitaries are permeating northern Kosovo and stirring up unrest.
A political brief in the NYT reports that during a recent trip to Boston Al Gore announced a $5 million aid package for New England's fishing industry, even though the program was approved a year ago. The piece is ostensibly based on a Boston Globe story. On Friday the Republican National Committee sent news organizations two press releases highlighting the Globe story. The releases are the latest in a series of "World According to Gore" faxes that cast the vice-president as a political opportunist. The NYT brief cited one condemnatory quote from the Globe story, the same quote that the RNC underlined and boldfaced in its attack fax.
All papers note that Serena Williams is the first African-American to take the women's U.S. Open title in more than 40 years. After Martina Hingis beat Serena's sibling in the semi-finals, seventeen-year-old Serena defeated Hingis in straight sets. Serena's father had predicted an all-Williams final. The NYT notes that his comment provoked Martina to call Mr. Williams a "big mouth." Serena volleyed by attributing Hingis' remark to her "lack of formal education."

'Glee': David Archuleta, Adam Lambert 'would be wonderful' as guests
"Glee" has welcomed a number of huge guest stars this season. From Britney Spears to Gwyneth Paltrow, the list of talented singers making appearances is growing quickly. But "American Idol" fans are still holding out hope for guest stints for two beloved former contestants.
There have been rumblings on the internet about Adam Lambert and David Archuleta showing up on the hit Fox comedy this year. They wouldn't be the first "Idol" participants to make the transition. Luke Edgemon was a fan favorite during auditions, but never made it as far as Adam and David. Fortunately, he was able to make the cut for "Glee" this year. In his exclusive interview with the GleeExaminer today, Luke gave me his opinion on welcoming Adam and David on the show.
"Gosh, I think both David and Adam would be wonderful on the show," he replied when asked about possible guest spots. '"Glee' is amazing to me, because I don't think I've ever seen a guest star on that show that I didn't really like. I've met David a time or two, and I think his personality would fit right in...and Adam, I'm a pretty big fan of, myself. I may get a little nervous if I ever see HIM roaming around the set."
Would you like to see David or Adam on "Glee" this season?

The Saints are working on retaining some players.
Cornerback Justin Hardee, long snapper Zach Wood, linebacker Vince Biegel and offensive lineman Cameron Tom have signed tenders to remain in New Orleans next season, according to league sources.
Sean Fazende of Fox 8 first broke the news of Hardee's signing.
Hardee ranked fourth on the Saints in special teams snaps last season behind Taysom Hill, Craig Robertson and Chris Banjo. Biegel ranked fifth.
Hardee also played 77 snaps on defense and had one interception.
On Jan. 22, Gov. John Bel Edwards wrote to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to express his "disappointment" with the blown call in the NFC Champ…
Wood was a key part of a strong special-teams unit last season, and Tom played 178 snaps on offense, mostly as a reserve.
Exclusive-rights free agents are players with only one or two accrued seasons. They are not eligible to negotiate with other teams, unlike restricted free agents, who can seek other offers.

Shikhir A liked a post in a topic by Eli LSorry, just started a new job and have been pretty busy. There are currently 164 accounts on the server. And yeah it's a dedicated. It's not too expensive, $121 a month for the server and cpanel license. It's not boring, I just hadn't been able to maintain everything for a while and my "business model" of ads on free sites supporting the server currently generate almost no money. Some of the software we use is also a bit dated and should be changed to newer software that's a bit faster but doing doing the work on the server thats needed would take a lot of time to make sure there are no major bugs. Time that I no longer have. Thank you for the offer, but the server really does need to be a dedicated to run all the sites well. It was once hosted on a VPS before I believe and it did not work out well at all. Unsure what to do yet. I haven't started looking for someone to take over yet. Ideally I'd like to see someone take it over and bring it back up to what it once was but I think the chances of that are slim. Hey Shikhir! It's been a while! If I can think of a way for you to help I'll let you know, thank you for the offer!

Shikhir A liked a post in a topic by Davey GIt's quite upsetting to see things have ended up this way. I mean Vlexo was a big part of my teenage years, I remember Vlexo swarming with people wanting hosting here. Are there many accounts active on the server? I'm guessing you have a dedi', which aren't cheap Sorry if I'm blunt but, is VlexoFree boring you and just carrying unwanted weight on your shoulders? I'm in the mind of helping, but, if the web host is relatively small I could find it quite easy to maintain. VPS perhaps? If it does actually need a dedi' to host all of the active clients. That might be a bit difficult as I don't have the finances to run a dedi' without seeing any profit. And I wouldn't want to start charging, that's not what Vlexo/VlexoFree has ever been about. I don't know, I feel like I'm rambling, but what are your suggestions? What would you like see happen? Are you selling the host or looking for someone to, effectively, take over.

HENRICO, VA — Steven Pladl, a North Carolina man who married and fathered a child with his own daughter, apparently killed that daughter, their baby, and his daughter's adoptive dad before turning the gun on himself.
Related: Florida Mom Accused Of Incest With Brother After Baby Born With "Severe Medical Problems"
In September 2017, authorities in Virginia charged Pladl, 42, and his biological daughter, Katie Rose Pladl, 20, with incest after Katie gave birth to the couple's son, Bennett Pladl.
Now investigators say Steven kicked off his horrific run on Thursday morning by fatally shooting seven-month-old Bennett. Officers discovered the baby's body after Steven's mother called 911 requesting a welfare check.
From there, Steven apparently drove to Connecticut, where he opened fire and killed Katie and her adoptive father Anthony Fusco, 56, in a pickup truck.
Finally, officers discovered Steven inside a parked mini-van in Dover, New York. He was dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Related: A Look Back At "Incest Monster" Josef Fritzl & His "House Of Horrors"
On a 911 tape obtained by the press, Steven's mother states that her son admitted to killing Katie and baby Bennett. According to the transcript, she says:
"Oh God, he told me to call the police and I shouldn't go over there. He killed his baby and he's [the baby] in the house. His wife broke up with him over the phone yesterday… I can't even believe this is happening."
Related: North Carolina Mom, 45 & Son, 25, Face Charges For Incest
Steven Pladl did not have contact with his daughter Katie while she was growing up. They met again when Katie was an adult and apparently commenced an incestuous relationship. The couple got married in July 2017. Bennett, their son, was born that September.
On March 16, a judge released Steven Pladl on bond under the condition that he was not allowed contact with Katie Pladl or his two children who lived with her in Henrico, Virginia.
As a result, Steven could no longer reside at the 106 Earlston Court home he shared with Katie — the very home where he killed baby Bennett on Thursday.
Details of this tragic story are continuing to develop.

Hello Lovelies,
Some one asked me the other day, how do I decide on the location and settings for my books. How do I decide where I'm going to place my characters and where they're going to go throughout the course of the stories? I was surprised at how difficult it was for me to answer these seemingly simple questions. I live in Miami, so I do tend to place my characters in the South Florida region. However, I've also spent time in both Southern California and New York City. In all honesty sometimes I consider my setting or location as a secondary character, and sometimes I use it as a tool to drive my characters together in other instances I barely give it a thought.I let the characters personalities and situations dictate the setting for me.
In Negotiating Skills, I barely describe any of the locations with the exception of Victor's office. That is where I wanted all of the action to occur, so that was the setting/location that I describe in more detail. In all of other scenes I wanted the readers focus to be completely centered on the attraction and tension between the H/H. However, I felt deliberately increased the level of description of Victor's office because I felt it actually added to the tension or sensuality of those scenes.
Conversely my characters in HTKYI definitely get around town. In this instance I chose to use the city of Miami and some of it's landmarks as a type of secondary character. I use everything from the heaviness of the humid air to the vibrant colors of South beach to paint a picture of the world Dante and Jasmine live in. I felt that this level of description added to story instead of taking away from it.
Currently I'm working on another novella that takes place completely in a one room cabin in the heart of the Colorado mountains (definitely a whole world away from Miami). When I was originally inspired to write this story I planned on the cabin being an actual large home in the mountains. However, by the time I got through the first chapter I realized that there was no way my hero was going to get his way unless he broke down some of my heroine's boundaries, so I had to break a few walls in the process to make that happen. For this novella there is literally nowhere to hide and I'm using that as a tool to build both tension and closeness between my H/H.
After trying to explain this to my friend who asked the question that prompted this post I began to really analyze some of my most recent favorite romance novels. Each author used location and setting in different ways. In Karen Marie Moning's Fever series her locations are definitely characters in her novels. They add to each and every scene and enhance them tenfold. I can't imagine reading that series without the description of Barron's bookstore or the ever darkening city of Dublin (unless there were more naked Barrons scenes that is, hmmmmm Barrons). I recently read Nia K. Foxx's Gargoyle's Mate and loved the description of Lorn's castle. I think it helped not only add to his character description but add to the gargoyle lore Foxx created in the story.
When it comes to books there are so many subtleties to what goes into writing something that pulls a reader in and doesn't jarringly drop them. As a writer I tend to let storyline and characters dictate my setting and in the end don't realize what I've done with it until I'm done with a scene. How often do we as readers discount setting and location unknowingly? Just a little chocolate for thought for your Wednesday afternoon!
Talk to you soon,

Character and Reputation: Have they Harmed Your Brand?
By Drew Stevens, PhD
"Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing." - Abraham Lincoln
Doctors of chiropractic are similar to any product or service. Doctors, their staff and their practices have a brand and a reputation, and like all products or services that brand must be protected. Brands offer instant recognition and identification. They are also promise consistent reliable standards of quality, size or even psychological attraction. Several national and regional surveys typically illustrate that consumers choose a brand not because of price but simply name alone! People will make a purchase and choose a doctor solely for brand value.
The value of a brand is that consumers will purchase for the brand's own sake and not with the usual amount of analysis, cynicism or caution. A brand creates a response among the public. Think of brands that you use that create eponymous communication. When you want to copy you Xerox. When you require a personal computer you purchase IBM or Dell. And, if you thirst, you desire Coke. These responses create emotion and get the public to act. Branding is more about the perception of excellent that about the perception of a good deal. This holds true for services just like doctors.
A brand is harmed by illicit information. And, with the array of electronic content in today's world, negative press can instantly and immeasurably harm brands. Presently, doctors must be involved with a new process known as reputation management to aid in protecting their brand and ensuring that prospective patients find you.
Reputation Management
The use of the Internet is outstanding, with more than 670 million webpages and more than 33% of the world's population now engaged online. Prospective patients are now utilizing search engines to find new doctors while conducting a tremendous amount of research to determine if that doctor's brand matches with the consumer's value. In addition to the myriad of websites, there exists numerous places such as forums, Twitter, Facebook and many other platforms where your existing patients are placing positive and negative comments about your services. True, false or indifferent, these digital footprints are available throughout the Internet and can cast a grave on your practice.
Reputation management is a technique that trolls the Internet securing the negative comments. Reputation management is meant to decrease any negative press so that the public relations of the practice are not tarnished. In effect, reputation management is nothing more than an electronic form of public relations.
Is It Worth It?
A proactive approach requires doctors and staff to monitor the web on a regular basis. With well over 2000 patients seen per year, and many of those calling the front desk but not making appointments, there it's simply too many entry points that create bad press. Additionally, the World Wide Web has also created a revolution of individuals that dispense negative information online that would never be said to you personally. However, what gets printed gets repeated. And with more than 1 billion searches per day, these negative ratings, comments or even thoughts can harm your brand.
For example, I am certain that everyone reading this article has made use of Amazon to some degree. Amazon, as many know, is a broker of goods and services to consumers that want them. Many products are sold on Amazon such as books, music and even movies. With each one, there is a comment area so that readers or listeners can allow others to understand what they've enjoyed and not about the particular product or service. Herein lies the question, how many products have you refrained from because of another reviewer's comments whether they were truthful or not? This then is similar in your world.
How to Begin
The first step in any successful campaign is simply utilizing a search engine such as Google or Yahoo and research your own name. Simply enter your first and last name into the search bar and begin to review the sites that allow comments. Determine for yourself what existing and prospective patients are saying about you and staff. By the way, this is a tremendous way to also mystery shop your practice.
Now all this seems practical, but there is also the idea that you're very busy seeing patients and don't have the time. If this is true, then it is always helpful to hire a reputation management company, a social media management company or even an Internet virtual assistant that continually monitors the web for such activity. While the prices are altered based upon the experience and level of sophistication, the fee invested will be better than the lost opportunities.
What many doctors fail to realize is that their name and their practice is a brand. Based upon services offered, customer service and other nuances, there is value placed in the customer's mind. It is this positioning that creates an emotional appeal whereby patients book appointments for brand sake. Therefore, harming your brand will hurt your position and future appointments.
In the era of changing healthcare practices from affordable care to insurance issues, chiropractors can ill afford bad press. So much is harming the practice today that many are faced with looking at the practice differently. Furthermore, competitive pressures constantly impact practice revenue. There is no reason to place additional pressures on the practice. Reputation management, when handled appropriately, could potentially increase pipeline flow, decrease obstacles to prospective patient entry and increase your revenue. Similar to planting a tree and ensuring that it has tremendous root structure, reputation management is analogous to that. You will see a richer reputation and successfully root your future revenue flow.

Shari Markson from Murdoch's stable didn't break the Barney Story but did raise it to political thunder to discredit Malcolm Turnbull our PM
Only after billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch gave the nod to his News Corp foot soldiers last week to proceed with publishing the truth about some of the scandals surrounding Mr Joyce, did other journalists suddenly somehow discover their reporting mojo and investigative capabilities.
Over the past week, news headlines in Australia have involved almost nothing else apart from the struggles facing Mr Joyce. The headlines have even travelled around the world with media in the USA and UK reporting on Mr Joyce's troubles and travails. Clearly and obviously this story was in the public interest. But why not in October and November last year when Mr Joyce was facing an important by-election in New England caused by his own ignorance of his citizenship status?

Brendan and Jessica came home for some wedding planning, so we decided to meet up with them and do a Michigan engagement session at Cranbrook. The weather was threatening rain which was making us a little nervous. We already had to reschedule a past appointment due to rain and they had to drive in from out of town, so we were so happy this time the shoot worked out.
While we were talking about how we like to photograph an assortment of serious and smiling photos, she reminds us serious photos aren't easy for her and then he says that he has a tough time with smiling ones. This is a perfect example of how opposites come together to work so well. They are each others smile/serious balance! Well, we "forced" him to get some of the smiles out and he really handled it like a great guy. They look great and we had a fun time with both of them!
It's such a treat to be able to photograph engagement sessions at Cranbrook, or any location, so we have a chance to get to know the people who have trusted us with such an important job as documenting their wedding. We also love to be able to show our clients just what kind of photos we will be delivering to them. It's been especially helpful when we have clients who need that extra opportunity to fully trust us when it comes to the wedding day photographs.
Brendan and Jessica are really a great team. They are sweet to one another and have each others best interests in mind. They also have the same idea of what a perfect date is. Let's just say dinner and wine would win with this team! Both are in the insurance industry so they probably don't have a lot of extra time to just stroll around together on a free weekend…especially when they are planning their Michigan wedding from out of town!
We definitely enjoyed the day with them, and are looking forward to getting to work with each of them and their friends and family for their Michigan wedding coming up this fall.

Of course, it's possible Swofford had no say in the matter. But if you don't assign blame there, you can't rightly assign credit for the latest moves.
Of course, it's possible Swofford had no say in the matter. But if you don't assign blame there, you can't rightly assign credit for the latest moves.
2000: #2, 11-0, 7-0
2001: #1, 12-0, 7-0 BCS National Champions
2002: #2, 12-1, 7-0 Loss to Ohio State in 2OT in BCS Championship game
2003: #5, 11-2, 6-1
That's why Swofford allowed Miami to dictate expansion. They finished in the top 5 four straight years and played in 2 BCS Championship games. Swofford expected the U to continue their football success in the ACC but they fell off the football map in 2006. As we all know, the U didn't deliver.
One thing that constrains southern universities is southern politics. The South has a long history of underfunding public education, especially post-secondary education. Given southern attitudes toward taxation, that isn't likely to change any time soon. Yes, the potential is there for South Carolina to eclipse Minnesota. But not for decades. There's just too much ground to make up.
USC has a 70% acceptance rate; UMn accepts 47.8% of its applicants. Columbia has 60% of the student population of the Twin Cities campus. USC is a sea-grant school, but UMN is a land-grant, a sea-grant, and a space-grant. And UMn has a $2.5 billion endowment -- 5 times USC's $513 million. Unless all of Minnesota suddenly decides to inhabit South Carolina, the relative academic standings of the two schools won't change all that much.

You have to apply some historical perspective and not rely totally on 20/20 hindsight to accurately assess the situation.
The same goes for bashing Swofford on the TV contract. The round the ACC was in in 2008-2009 was negotiated when only ESPN was the singular entity in sports broadcasting, the ACC was in a down cycle in performance on the field, and the national economy was horrible.
I remember speculation that our TV contract might actually be reduced but instead the ACC got a 2.9 million dollar bump. I destinctly remember an ACC collective sigh of relief. With only a few exceptions, our contract was verbatim modeled after the SEC including getting upfront money for 3rd tier rights. The Big 10 network wasn't turning a profit and was still going through start up costs and growing pains.
CBS, Fox, and NBC then got interested in expanding their sports offerings. Timing is everything. Nothing drives up the price at an auction like having a number of interested bidders. So what looked like a good solid contract for the ACC within a year became an undervalued albatross. The realignment has been a bonus to the ACC allowing some wiggle room and increases for our contract despite ESPN having exclusive rights, i.e., none of the other networks can bid on the contract.
