...at least half of the 10 remaining schools due to empty financial promises from opposing conference commissioners. The economy forced universities to put pressure on athletic departments to raise revenue. As the commissioner of the Big 12 Conference, Dan Beebe was a leader. As a leader he had to make decisions based off unfortunate circumstances and threats. The schools in the Big 12 Conference were under pressure from other leaders, one in particularly Larry Scott new commissioner of the PAC-10 Conference In my opinion money makes the world go around, without the need for money a lot of things that happen in life would never take place. In this case, money was the vehicle that was driving the decision making process of each university considering leaving the Big 12 Conference. Larry Scott had a plan and Dan Beebe had to come up with one. In a two day span the University of Colorado and the University of Nebraska left the Big 12. Larry Scott persuaded Colorado and the Big Ten Conference earned a new member in Nebraska. Dan Beebe was down to 10 schools, which were all being promised higher television revenues if they accepted Larry’s offer to join the PAC-10. As a leader, Dan had to come up with a plan, I agree with the decision the Big 12 Conference made to keep it intact. Deals were made, and schools were temporarily satisfied with their so called raises, at the end of the day, despite having to forfeit their traditional championship game the Conference is still...

Tags: Big 12, Oklahoma Sooners, Jalen Saunders, Cortez Johnson What we learned in the Big 12: Week 14 December, 2, 2012 Dec 2 10:00 AM ET By David Ubben | ESPN.com Recommend16 Tweet16 Comments1K Email Print Here's what I learned on the Big 12's last weekend of the season. The Big 12 is pretty silly. Hey, I get that this was how life worked in the Big Eight and is how it works in many other leagues. This ain't the Big Eight. Allowing Oklahoma to celebrate a Big 12 title and giving the Sooners a trophy for it is silly. It was different when the trophies were for division titles. It was an accomplishment to tie for one, and it came with a trophy, but it wasn't a major accomplishment unless you played for the title. I'm more flexible when it comes to a three-way tie. I could see not wanting the BCS to decide. This is not a three-way tie. K-State and Oklahoma have the same record. They played the Big 12 championship game back on Sept. 22. Kansas State won. Simply put: You can't build an entire marketing campaign around crowning "One True Champion" and then hand out two trophies. [+] Enlarge Kansas...

...each other with glass corridors to form this magnificent museum. Moreover, there are two incredibly weird outside sculptures on both sides of the museum. When I approached the entrance, I saw how beautiful materials this museum built from. The museum from the outside is covered with white marble and the entrance door was from harsh glass, so that is giving the museum a fabulous outside looking. Once you open the door you will face the reception hall and a very nice receptionist, she will tell you that the admission is free and where you can picture in the museum. Then, in the right side there is a small room where you can leave your bags until you done from your visit. After a few steps you will enter into a long corridor where there are two big figures made from bronze called “Barbara Hepworth” and they are two of the finest figures in the museum. Moving to the right a little bit, you will see the museum store which is a wonderful store houses a vast array of gift items for any or no occasion at all! Catalogues, children’s toys and other unique items related to art like the famous painting the “Mona Lisa “by the artist Leonardo da Vinci. Also there are mugs, books, and Halloween costumes. The museum’s collection ensures each visit is both memorable and rewarding. Then you will move between the rooms to see an amazing collection, sculptures, artifacts, and exhibitions. I did not expect to see fabulous artworks like that, but I really enjoyed the special exhibit of The Art of Oscar...

...Pig Battle Friday, March 27, 2014 Remembering the University’s first mascot Before UT alum Stephen Pickney gathered $124 in 1916 to purchase a Longhorn steer in the Texas panhandle that would become a symbol of Texas athletics for over 90 years, there was a first mascot—one that very few remembers. Pig Battle. He wasn’t a pig, though. Rather a scrappy tan and white Pit Bull Terrier and he came to Texas two years earlier than the lovable mascot we know today as Bevo. Former University Co-op Society leader, L. Theo Bellmont was the man responsible for the first mascot of the university. Athletic director and co-founder of the Southwest Athletic Conference, Bellmont brought the American Pit Bull with him to work. The scrappy dog would follow his owner to work, chasing squirrels, running through bluebonnets, and garnering the attention of thousands of students. After a few years on the sidelines at home and away athletic events, Pig was officially made a University of Texas Letterman. He couldn’t wear a letter jacket, of course, so instead sported a custom, shiny brass “T” attached to his collar. He was the first “Varsity Mascot.” His name, unusual to us now, made plenty of sense then. Being the athletic man he was, Bellmont named his pet after Texas football center Gus “Pig” Dittmar. Dittmar was known for slipping through the defensive line “like a greased pig.” During a game in 1914, Pig’s first year attending games, the athlete and the dog stood next to each other...

...analyze us, or taking surveys. The LSI survey is a way we can see where we fit in amongst other individuals. This survey helps assess our personality characteristics and other traits according to how we interact in society. I took the survey to see where my personality traits rate with other people. I will go over the results and how a person can learn and change from them. The LSI survey is a circle that is broken in many parts. There are 3 areas that the circle is broken into which are satisfaction needs, task orientation, and security needs. The primary part is the satisfaction needs whereas the backup tells you what causes these traits. When it comes to the scoring of the survey I had my highest in the constructive styles 1, 2, 11, and 12. These help with self-enhancing thinking and behavior that causes satisfaction. Number 1 is the humanistic encouraging The Humanistic-Encouraging scale measures our interest in people, our tendency to care about others, and our ability to encourage them to improve. Humanistic-Encouraging people are accepting of themselves, and accept others for who they are without any issues. I believe I am definitely like this because I am not a judgmental person. Number 2 is the affiliate part that measures degree of commitment to forming and sustaining satisfying relationships. This is the area where people want to establish long relationships with others. I think when it comes to seeking relationships I am like that because I want to have long term...

...Math Investigation of Painted Cubes Introduction I was given a brief to investigate the number of faces on a cube, which measured 20 small cubes by 20 small cubes by 20 small cubes (20 x 20 x 20). To do this, I had to imagine that there was a very large cube, which had had its outer surface painted red. When it was dry, the large cube was cut up into the smaller cubes, all 8000 of them. From there, I had to answer the question, 'How many of the small cubes will have no red faces, one red face, two red faces, and three faces? From this, I hope to find a formula to work out the number of different faces on a cube sized 'n x n x n'. Solving the Problem To solve this problem, I built different sized cubes: 2 x 2 x 2; 3 x 3 x 3; 4 x 4 x 4; 5 x 5 x 5; 6 x 6 x 6; 7 x 7 x 7; 8 x 8 x 8; 9 x 9 x 9, using multi-links. I started by building a cube sized '2 x 2 x 2'. As I looked at the cube, I noticed that all of the corners had three faces. I then went onto a '3 x 3 x 3' cube. As I observed the cube, I saw that the corners all had three faces, the edges had two, and the faces had one. I looked into this matter to see if this was true. As I went further into the investigation, I found this was true. This made it much easier for me to count the cubes, and be more systematic. Now I could carry on building the cubes, and be more confident about not missing any out. Whilst building the cubes, I also drew them and decided to color code the different faces...

No one should feel like an outsider in America, according to King. So he wanted to help them out 2. They picked a time near Easter for direct action because besides Christmas time, it’s the main shopping period of the year. They wanted to bring pressure to put on the merchants that there should be changes made. 3. He insist on direct action in Birmingham because it dramatizes the issue and rings tension to the community to make a situation so that their only choice is to negotiate 4. It’s impossible for blacks to continue to “wait” because they have been waiting for more than 340 years for change, and not a lot has changed. Waiting for them means that there’s little chance for anything to ever happen. 5.

A just law is a manmade code that squares with the moral law or law of God. An unjust law is a human law that is out of harmony with moral laws.
