Rand Paul on NBC 'Meet The Press' 11/2/14
Rather than Voter ID, just point a video camera, like a security camera or red light camera, at the doorways of the voting booths. Then the video is EVIDENCE should there be people who vote multiple times. One problem is the cheaters don't get caught and hardly ever get punished. But, there is little expectations that much of that is unfolding.
I do love the expression from Rand that says part of the mission is to "just show up." That's part one of my theme song for a winning forumula: Show up. Part two is, Score more points.

PRESS RELEASE:
YP Social Media Day and HBCU Pittsburgh College Fair
PITTSBURGH - YouthPlaces and the Pittsburgh Historical Black College and University Alumni
Association is hosting its second college fair together. In efforts to inform students of diverse
school options, several HBCUs like Cheyney University, Florida A&M, and Morgan State
University, will host tables for 11th and 12th graders to explore.
November 6th is Social Media Day at YouthPlaces. The Social Media Day celebration kickoff at
12:00 PM noon with a Social Media Luncheon from 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM, where YP staff, big
Pittsburgh social media names, and other non-profit organizations will network over great food
and open conversation about social media trends, topics, and usage. The 17 YP sites are
included in the party too! The YP site with the most social media traffic, using
#YPSocialMediaDay and #YPHBCUCollegeFair, will win a PlayStation 4 Prize Pack.
YouthPlaces, founded in 1997, serves as a community response to an overwhelming need for
afterschool programs for teens in high-risk, underserved communities. Beginning with five sites
and 500 youth, YP has evolved to 17 sites serving over 4,000 youth annually. Recently, YP
started three social media sites to better communicate with their parents, students, staff,
funders, key stakeholders and community.

Too nervous?
Andrew Gow on the FB Group, Swim Coaches Idea Exchange GroupMy reply post:
Any words of advice on how to help a swimmer who's having pre-meet jitters? He's worried that he's not fast enough and worried that he won't do well. I've had a quiet word with him on poolside and told him that he is more than capable and that he is selling himself short as he's a great swimmer just lacking in confidence. Both myself and his parents have spoke with him but he's still a little unsure.
Any help appreciated!
I don't care. Really. Tell him you called me, some other guy coach on the internet, and he doesn't give a flip how fast his race is today in the whatever event in some number of ticks or even five seconds slower. Yawn. I have my own things to watch and worry about, not that race results. And, there are 4 billion people in China who don't care as well. Some might be sleeping while some might be working, but I'm 100% certain! none care if this race shows up on YouTube or not. The only ones that Really care about this race are you, the coach, and the swimmer himself. Today, for this race, the coach cares as much as can fit in a pinky finger. A tiny bit. On the whole, over the career, in five more years, care for the person, care for the behaviors, care for how the swimmer treats others is super important to the coaches, friends, family, Yourself. We get to learn about and how to love ourselves in meaningless races like this event so that in the future as new challenges are faced, a stronger individual is present. Someday lots of folks will notice and care what goes on with that ex-swimmer dude. Live in the present and handle what comes your way.

Fwd: Seeking 18 to 21 year olds having difficulty gaining permanent employment
When a college team mails in a "F" -- they get the next year OFF too
This is another football forfeit. Here is another brick in the wall that signals the long, slow departure of that game from society's landscape. Football is well past its peak and is headed to the toilet bowl in the years to come.
In water polo, after a team mails in a "F" -- the next year they are kicked out of the league. A team that forfeits gets the following year without the ability to play in the league.
This would be a great time for those at CalU to look into creating a number of different activities to take the place of football. How about an Ultimate Frisbee House League? What about Rugby 7s and Rugby Union teams? How about water polo? Perhaps they should do a better job at CalU with their Powerlifting matches and Bodybuilding too. And finally, most of all, time to hook up with the Boys to Men program and get those discussions established about accountability of actions, stopping violence, and intervention.
None know what the future holds for these guys and the overall program. But it is a good thing to take a break and think again. Let's establish a different set of norms and get everyone to play nice with others.
