BROTHE RS ake steps to help 'immunize' your portfolio I ~ow that winter is almost here, you probably see "Flu Shots Available" signs at many of your local pharmacies. Whether or not you '"dde to get a flu shot pemls on your individ• ual situation. of course. but you may benefit from the idea of immunization in other areas of your life - such as your investments. Specifically, you may want to help "immunize" your portfolio. as much as possible. against some of the volatility we've seen in the financial markets over the past couple of years. How can you do this? Here are a few suggestions: Diversify. diversify. diversify. If you were to only own stocks. your portfolio would, at times, see some big gains - but at other times. you'd take some big hits. If you just owned bonds, you'd probably see fewer fluctuations than if you just owned stocks but •ou'd almost certainly ver get the gains you ~ed to help achieve your goals. If you kept all your money in cash instruments. you'd protect your Isaac Mills principal, but you'd eventually lose ground to inflation. In short, you can't succeed as an investor by putting all your money in one type of asset. You need to spread your resources among stocks, bonds, and cash investments. And even within each of these categories, you need to diversify. For example, try to own a mixture of growth stocks and income-producing stocks; short-term and long-term bonds; and a variety of cash instruments. While diversification, by itself, can't guarantee profits or protect against loss. it can give you opportunities for potential success and help shield you from severe downturns that, at any given time, primarily affect just one asset class. Know your risk tolerance. If you frequently find yourself surprised, or perhaps dismayed, at the fluctuations in your portfolio. you may be overestimating your risk tolerance. If you familiarize yourself with your investments before you buy them - and you should - then you probably shouldn't be surprised at how they perform. So. if you own growth-oriented stocks, you need to . accept the inevitable short-term volatility in exchange for potential gains over the long tern1. But if you're constantly worried over temporary setbacks. you may be taking on too much risk for your comfort level. If this happens, you may. need to rebalance your portfolio to better accommodate your true risk tolerance. Maintain adequate cash reserves. Having sufficient cash in your portfolio can help you combat volatility in at least two ways. First, since cash essentially doesn't fluctuate in price - though it may lose value over time, relative to inflation - its very presence can help stabilize your portfolio. And second, if you have enough cash in your investment mix, you may be Jess likely to dip into your long-term investments to pay for shortterm needs, such as a major car repair. a new furnace and so on - and the less you disntpt your investments, the more progress you can make toward your goals. It's not possible to fully shield your investments from volatility all the time. But by taking the steps described above, and by maintaining a long-term perspective, you can strengthen your portfolio's resistance, and improve your own responses, to the effects of price fluctuati9ns. And that's a healthy way to invest. (Isaac Mills is a [mancia/ advisor with Edward Jones Investments, 990A Second Ave., Gallipolis, phone 441-9441.

Can't say no to nags Dear Dr. Brothers: I don't know what it is, but it's weird .. Every time people I don't really like or consider my friends ask me to do them a favor, I just can't seem to say no. Last week, this woman who annoys the heck out of me asked me to take pictures of a concert she was performing in. I found myself saying yes again, making myself completely miserable. \Yhy do I have no problem telling my real friends no, but when it comes to ''non-friends," I always say yes? - G.S. Dear G.S.: There are many times when it is perfectly OK to say no, but it seems that screwing up the courage to utter that little word is one of the hardest things to do. Most of us want to be a "nice guy" and make other people happy. If we say no, it will be awkward, and we might look selfish or uncooperative. We may be genuinely sorry that we can't help out this time, but we may just be making an excuse and hope it. sounds authentic. And chances are, if it's just an excuse, the person might suspect as much and then things become even more awkward. So it is difficult for you to refuse people you don't really care about, but for your friends it's easy to say "no way.'' Perhaps the idea is that you know your friends will like you anyway, whether you are able to help them out this time or not. As for the other people. you realize that they don't have the unconditional love for you, nor you for them. In fact, maybe you feel a little guilty because you don't really like them all that much in the first place. To cover that up, you are always ready with an enthusiastic but fake ''yes!'' The key for you is to take a chance and say you're sorry. You'll see · that the consequences are very -likely much less dramatic than those you are imagining. You'll still be a nice guy and your real friends will still like you, , and those you don't care much about might give you a break and ask someone else.

For instance, every year at this time, \Vithout having to look at the time, I instinctually know to leave my home in Point Pleasant. W.Va., Beth Sergent on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and drive to Pomeroy to cover the Christmas Parade. This has been my assignment for so many years now I no longer remember the drive up to Pomeroy ~ I hop in my car and the next thing I know I'm on Main Street holding a camera as if I've come out of an Ambien-induced coma. After seven years. perhaps I've started taking the Pomeroy Christmas Parade for granted. I sometimes think I've seen it all and I sure know what I haven't seen in the parade. No, the Pomeroy Christmas Parade doesn't have a helium tilled Kung Fu Panda balloon taller than the Meigs County Courthouse. No. the tloats don't stop in front of Swisher & Lohse so someone like Justin Bieber can perform his latest single for the audience. No, the Pomeroy Christmas Parade isn't large enough for Meredith Vieira and Matt Lauer to do the play-by-play though I feel myself and colleague Brian J. Reed could fill their shoes in this in:;tance when it comes to color commentary. Still, defining something by what it isn't seems unfair when there are many things the Pomeroy Christmas Parade is - namely, a community tradition. There's the kids from one to 92 who wait for Santa to make an appearance; waiting with covered ears as fire trucks wail away; waiting for free candy along the parade route because the free makes candy, which has been thrown on the ground, desirable. Maybe the script doesn't change for this event though the faces do, or at least, they age into an appreciation of holiday traditions leaving a mark on their memory. This year. before leaving The Daily Sentinel office to go photograph the parade, I have to be honest, I had the attitude I'd seen it all and expected to see the same thing again. As I gazed out in the mini-park next to our office, which we have deemed the "Sentinel Christmas Village'' due to the cardboard, holiday characters staked in the grass. l saw two little boys and what could've been their father checking it out. As the trio scattered in the mini-park, I thought to myself, this is what this day's all about - the thrill of a holiday parade and Christmas leaving a mark on children and their memories. Then, I noticed one of the boys was peeing on a shrub in the "Sentinel Christmas Village," leaving a mark of his own. J have to admit. I hadn't seen that before. .......... ~- ,.---~- - ......--~-~--~-,,---~- 1 Newly empowered Republicans say President Barack Obama would subject as much as half the nation's small business income to job-withering tax increases. Obama and his Democratic allies argue that allowing taxes to rise on the wealthiest Americans would affect only a handful of small business owners. Both can't be right. And both are playing number games as the lame-duck Congress prepares to take up one of the most contentious issues of the postelection season: what to do about an array of about-to-expire Bush-era tax cuts? If Congress fails to act, taxes will go up for essentially every American taxpayer on Jan. l. Neither party wants that to happen. Hoping to avoid a December train wreck, Obama has hinted at a possible compromise - perhaps extending the tax cuts for everybody for a year or two. But so far, the president and the Republicans, flush from their big midterm election gains, haven't been able to bridge their differences. The Obama White House argues that the Bush tax cuts should be extended for everybody earning under $200,000 and couples earning under $250,000 a year. Supporters claim the move would protect middle-class taxpayers while helping rein in budg~t deficits. Republicans and a growing of rank-and-file number Democrats argue that, despite rising voter angst over deficits, now is no time to raise taxes on anybody - not with unemployment stuck near 10 percent, the housing market still in a shambles and overall economic growth anemic. They insist the move would mean tax hikes for hundreds of thousands of small- and moderate-sized businesses whose proceeds are taxed at individual rather than corporate rates. The Bush tax cuts will be a major topic when the president meets at the White House on Tuesday with Republican and Democratic congressional leaders. In remarks Monday at the White House, Obama said the tax cuts were among several "urgent matters" he expected to come up at the meeting. Here's a closer look at the rival claims: THE CLAIM: Obama and his Democratic allies insist that the vast majority of small businesses - or about 97 percent ~ would be unaffected under his plan. They note that just 3 percent of those reporting business income on their tax returns earn more than the $200,000 - $250,000 thresholds for tax hikes. And they say allowing taxes to rise for the wealthiest Americans would save taxpayers $700 billion over ten years. Cutting taxes on wealthier Americans "won•t significantly boost the economy, and it's hugely expensive," Obama said. "So we can't afford it." THE FACTS: The 3 percent figure is statistically correct, but misleading. That's because the overwhelming number of small businesses are very small, even tiny. And there are a lot of them - for instance, a house cleaner, a dog walker, an ice cream vendor, somebody who makes money selling things on eBay. In reporting the raw numbers of tax returns that include business income, the Internal Revenue distinguish Service doesn't between small homegrown businesses and far less common but extremely profitable ventures such as some hedge funds and doctor and lawyer partnerships. That distorts the overall percentages to make it appear the impact of the White House plan on small businesses is extremely limited. In fact, it would affect about 750,000 taxpayers who report business profits on individ· ual income returns, according to the congre~sional Joint Committee on Taxation. Bill Rys; tax counsel for the National Federation of Independent Business, said roughly 75 percent of small businesses pay their business tax at the mdividual level. "For small business owners especially, they're really struggling to get out of this recession,'' Rys said. "The businesses that are likely to be impacted by tax increases are ones that are employing workers." As to costs, while extending tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans would cost an additional $700 billion over ten years, extending them just for lower and middleclass Americans as Obama wants would cost over $3 trillion over the same period. THE CLAIM: Many Republicans say letting the Bush tax cuts expire for upper-income earners will have a widespread negative impact on small businesses. The increase would affect half of small business income. says Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah calls it "a job-killing tax on small business during tough economic times.'' THE FACTS: McConnell focuses 011 affected business income rather than the 3 percent of individual business owners cited by Democrats. The Joint Committee on Taxation agrees, saying that taxpayers who would see a tax increase account for half the business income reported or individual returns. However, two thirds of these 750.000 house holds have average net income~ of about $700,000. the committee says. And some have earnings as high as $50 million, including some of the nation's largest plivately held professional firms hardly "small" business. THE CLAIM: Republicans and Democrats alike ca11 small busi ness the nation's prime engine. job creation. Politicians, incl ing Obama, like to say that small businesses create two out of every three new jobs. THE FACTS: That may be so. but it depends on how you define "small" business. The Small Business Administration defines a small business as one with fewer than 500 employees. By that gauge. more than 99 percent of the nation's roughly 6 million busi nesses with employees qualify. While smaller businesses do a lot of hiring, they also do a lot of firing. •'There 's less turnover at large companies ,'' said Jim Nunns. senior fellow at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. a joint venture of the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute. At the · height of the recession, the largest number of overall JOb losses occurred in businessej:i with fewer than • workers. As to tax policy. "the incentive to hire doesn't really turn on the tax rate - because, if you pay an employee. it's tax deductible regardless of your tax rate,., Nunns said. Also, he noted, most small business owners reporting business income have no employ ees, and little incentive to hire. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's AnalytiC's, said Obama's plan to let taxes increase on top earners ''will have an impact on small busmess, but not nearly to the degree that some fear... But, he added, "why take a chance when the recovery is so fragile? I think small businesses are very imp9rtant to the job machine. Without them, the job machine can function. but it can ·t function well." �-----~--,...._...,---..-----~ French Art Colony hosts 16th annual Holiday Homes Tour· Parade --~ -------~-- .. ~----- ~ .._.- ~- ·--- ~-- .The Daily Sentinel • Page As Meigs County Forecast From Page A1 .

The attack also highlights the potential hazards of a push to speedily expand Afghanistan's army and police forces in the next few years. The goal is to turn over the resp9nsibility for nationwide security to Afghan forces by 2014 so that NATO troops can go home. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. saying the gunman joined the border police in order to kill foreign soldiers. "Today he found this opportunity and he killed six invaders," Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement e-mailed to the media. The shooter was wearing an Afghan border police unjform, NATO said, but did not provide additional details on how the shooting happened or his identity. A spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry. Zemeri Bashary, confirmed that the gunman was a border police officer, rather than an insurgent who had donned the uniform to infiltrate government forces. The incident happened in Pachir Wagam district of Nangarhar province- right on the border with Pakistan. Bashary said. ATO declined to identify the nationalities of victims. but a U.S. official said all six of the • dead were American. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because next of kin had not yet been informed. An investigation team has been sent to the area. said Gen. Aminullah Amerkhail, the regional border police commander for eastern Afghanistan. But he said information is not coming back quickly. "The area is very remote," he said. "Even the telephones are not working there." There have been a number of incidents in which Afghan police officers turned on their trainers in deadly shootouts. NATO is investigating an incident in which two U.S. Marines were killed earlier this month in southern Helmand province, allegedly at the hands of an Afghan army soldier. On July 20, an Afghan army sergeant got into an argument at a shooting range in no.rthern Afghanistan and shot dead two American civilian trainers before being killed. Another Afghan soldier was killed in the crossfire. In a July 13 attack. an Afghan soldier 'itationed in the south killed three British troopers, including the company commander. with gunfire and a rocket-propelled grenade in the middle of the night. so. in November 2009, an Afghan policeman d five British soldiers at a checkpoint in • mand. A month earlier, an Afghan policeman on patrol with U.S. soldiers fired on ~he Americans, killing two. Such shootings highlight the potential hazards of a push to speedily expand Afghanistan's army and police forces in the next few years. The goal is to turn over the responsibility for nationwide security to Afghan forces by 2014 so that NATO troops can go home. In the past year, the Afghan police force grew 27 percent to 120,500 officers from about 95,000. The army grew 42 percent to about 138,200 soldiers from 97.000.

Israel says Arabs agree on Iran threat BY DANICA KIRKA AND JOSEF FEDERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS Koreas' sea border area seen as a recipe for war BY FOSTER KLUG AND LEE JIN-MAN ASSOCIATED PRESS YEONPYEONG ISLAND. South Korea- The view from this South Korean island takes in the undulating hills of North Korea just seven miles away and the seafood-rich waters all around- a region of such economic and strategic importance to both countries that one expert calls it a recipe for war. Violence often erupts in this slice of sea claimed by both countries. Boats routinely jostle for position during crab-catcning season, and three deadly naval clashes since 1999 have taken a few dozen lives. The South's president took responsibility Monday for failing to protect his citizens from a deadly North Korean artillery barrage on Yeonpyeong Island on Nov. 23. The origins of the attack can be traced to a sea border drawn at the close of the Korean War, nearly 60 years ago. As the conflict ended in a truce, the U.S.-Ied U.N. Command divided the Ye11ow Sea without Pyongyang's consent. cutting North Korea off from rich fishing waters and boxing in a crucial deep-water port, a move that clearly favored the South. North Korea has bitterly contested the line ever since. arguing that it should run farther south. But for Seoul, accepting such a line would endanger fishing around five South Korean islands and hamper access to its port at Incheon. "It is the perfect recipe for 'accidental' wrufare," Erich Weingartner. edttor-in-chief of CanKor, a Canadian website focused on North Korean analy.sis. wrote recently. "The navies of both sides protect their respective fishing vessels. Mischief and miscalculation does the rest," he added. JERUSALEM - Israel's prime minister said Monday that newly leaked U.S. diplomatic mem_os provide clear proof that the Arab world agrees wtth his country's assessment that Iran is the chief danger to the Middle East. According to the documents released Sunday by online whistle-blower Wikileaks, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia repeatedly u_rged the United States to attack Iran to destroy its nuclear program. The king was one of several Arab voices in the documents calling for tough action against Iran prompting accusations from the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. that the leak was intended to stir "mischief." "We don't give any value to these documents:· Ahmadinejad told a news conference in Tehran. "Iran and regional states are friends. Such acts of mischief have no impact on relations between nations." Ahmadinejad alleged the leaks were an "organized" effort by the U.S. to stir trouble between Iran and Arab neighbors, but he insisted the effort would fail. Arab nation~ just across the Persian Gulf are .known to be wary of Iran ·s rising regional influence. military power and nuclear activity. The leaked doc· uments, however, reveal a much higher degree of alarm in the calls for U.S. military action. The U.S. has helped several Arab nations in the Gulf increase their anti-missile defenses and itself has a naval presence in the region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly said the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran is the greatest danger to the region. �•w=+::c+ Tuesday, November 30, 201 0 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A6 11.

CCU won the game, 92-83. Rio Grande (3-4) jumped out to a 4-0 lead on successive baskets by junior forward Shaun Gunnell. Gunnell scored eight of the team's first J2 points and ended the rlight at the top of scoring chart for the RedStonn with 20 points. He also pulled down 12 rebounds to record a double-double.

Rio countered with a 9-2 run to cut the deficit to 36-30 at the 2:43 mark of the tirst half. CCU would surge back ahead 42-30 and take a 42-34 lead to halftime. It was more of the same in the second half. Rio Grande never caught ' c: a 2010 CCU. The RedStorm would get to within three points o9-66 at the 5:14 mark, but Cincinnati Christian answered every run the RedStonn made. Sophomore forward Dani Marti followed up Gunnell's effmt with 19 points and nine boards. Freshman guard Jermaine. Warmack tossed in 14 pointr.; off the bench. Corey Evans lit up the scoreboard for CCU as he paced all scorers with 31 points. Josh Reid added 20 while Chris Scott chipped in II and Sean Jackson scored J0 off the bench. Mohammed Fall pulled down 11 rebounds to go along with eight points. Rio Grande shot 47.2 percent (34-of-72) from the field, but French wa<; not pleased with that. ''Some would say that 47percent is a good percentage, but for the shots we were getting, it's not a good percentage. We weren't shooting jumpers, we were shooting layups." French said. Turnovers played a big role as the RedStom1 accumulated 22 miscues in the game and turned CCU. over 28 times. The freethrow line betrayed Rio Grande as well as the RedStorm connected on only 12-of-25 attempts (48 percent) from the charity stripe. Cincinnati Christian cashed in on 24of-34 (70.6) tries from the line. Rio was also outscored at the three-point line, 36-9. at Angels fromPageBl Angels received six points apiece from both Brittany Lloyd and Violet Pelfrey in the setback.

Rio dominated the glass, out-rebounding HarrisStowe, 44-32, but also committed more turnovers, 18-12. "I thought it wa-; a great challenge for us today," said Rio Grande head coach Ken French. 'To play the way we did yesterday and then come out here at Noon today and when we started the game I don't know if there was anybody in the stands or not, it was liked we talked about after the Ashland game- we're dealing with 18-23-year old kids here and you just don't know how they're going to respond and our back was against the wall." "Our guys showed a lot of character, now can we sustain tllis that's the next question," French added. ''l thought our guys came out and executed, we played really well to start the game then they made a run, came back and took the lead and the adversity; we didn't waver." ''That's a huge step for this team because that's what's happened to us in the past and we've kind of broken down," French said. "I thought we did a great job in the second 20 minutes, when we were doing a good job defensively and they were struggling a little b1t, we executed on offense and we took ww 30 ' . a s;a• �......... u -- -· = ·== • ----------- •• .....

Kasay's attempt sailed left as time expired, grazing off the upright and sending Cleveland to a 2423 win on Sunday, a closer-than-expected win for the Browns in a season overstuffed with tough losses ru1d injuries.

Kasay only got the chance at his 14th career game-winner after Clausen drove the Panthers (1-10) from their 5 to Cleveland's 25 in the final minute. He completed a sideline pass to fellow rookie Brandon LaFell for 28 yards - a gutty, clutch throw that could prove to be a turning point for the rookie QB - to put Kasay m positiOf! ~ith five seconds remammg. He probably shouldn't have gotten the chance. After making the catch, LaFell rolled out of bounds but appeared to be touched by Brown. The clock should have run out, and as referee Jeff Tdplette went to reviev.• the play, an official near Cleveland's sideline told Mangini that if the catch · was in bounds then the game would be over. The catch was ruled good. but Triplette decided the clock was correct. Mangini was both confused and irate, and as Kasay lined up to perhaps send him to a loss that could jeopardize his job security. Cleveland's coach was inconsolable. "There were too many expletives going through quarter that Carolina's my mind at that point." Captain Munnerlyn Mangini said.

ASSOCIATED MESS The three teams have identical overall records of Il-l to go with their 7-1 conference marks. so the BCS rankings will be the deciding factor. This 'is the last time for the foreseeable future that the league's automatic berth to a BCS bowl will be detennined in this manner. Next year, the Big Ten will add Nebraska as its 12th member, split into h\ o divisions and hold a championship game. Beyond the three cocham_eions. there are five Big fen teams that are bowl eligible. Illinois, Iowa and Penn State finished tied for fourth in the league, and if Illinois wins at Fresno State on Frida) night, all three of those teams will be 7-5. Michigan and Northwestern also finished 7-5 but were a game behind in conference play in a tie for seventh. The Outback Bowl is supJX>~ed to have the next pick runong ~ig Ten teams after the Cap1tal One. and the conference also has ties with the Gator, Insight, Texas, licketCity and Little Caesars Pizza bowls. Since only eight Big Ten teams are bowl eligible. the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl might be left looking elsewhere for a team. FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - TCU is getting out of future debates about whether the Horned Frogs deserve to be in a BCS gnme. They are joining a league with automatic access. The. Frogs won't have to he a RC'S htl'.;ter when 1 they move to the Big East Conference, starting with the 2012 season. Win their new league and they will be guaranteed a spot in one of the big-money games. In the latest restructuring of the college football landscape, TCU's board of trustees unanimously approved an invitation Monday to join the Bio East in football and aft other sports. The move from the Mountain West Conference becomes official July I, 2012. TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte said gaining automatic-qualifying status "was a big factor'' in the move and gives the Horned Frogs "the greatest opportunity to compete for the national championship." The Big East, currently with eight football teams, has one of six automatic BCS slots. "Access got easier, not the road,'' said Frogs coach Gary Patten;on, whose third-ranked Frogs (12-0) wrapped up their second consecutive undefeated regular season and Mountain West title with a 66-17 win at New Mexico on Saturday. TCU is third in the BCS standings - the highestranked non-automatic qualifying team - and is in line for a chance to play for the national championship if Auburn or Oregon lose next weekend. The Frogs likely will play in the Rose Bowl if Auburn and Oregon both win. "Who would have thought five years ago that the ~uaranteed fallback position is, you· re going to the Rose Bowl, and one loss you're in the national championship?" Del Conte told a. room filled with supporter:. and staff. "We're going to Pasadena, let's get fired up. We're going to the Big East, let's get fired up.... It's a great time to be a Frog." The pending departure of TCU continues a big shuffle for the Mountain West. which last liUtnmer announced that Boise State was leaving the WAC to join its league in 20 II. That was expected to bolster the strength of the MWC and put the teague in better position 1 for possibly gaining an automatic BCS berth in the future. But now so much has changed. Utah is leaving the Mountain We~t for the expanded Pac-12 and BYU is going independent. Fresno State and Nevada. and 1naybc Hawaii, are going from the WAC to the MWC in 2012 after TCU leaves. "Today's inten.:ollcgiate athleticli environment is very fluid," Mountain West Conference commJsstoner Craig Thompson said in a state ment. ''Our board of directors and directors of athletics. as they have throughout the history of the MWC and with even more focus recently. will continue to analyze the landscape and chart our course in the context of ongoing changes." · Thompson said there were "cotwt•r:.ations already under way with potential future members.'' Del Conte said. losing BYU and Utah was a "significant blow" to the Mountain West. "It was not the same league that we joined,.. he said. "It's not the same home that we bought, it's not same home we were invited to, and things changed, the landscape changed." The Big East has schools in nine of the nation's 35 largest media markets and will being I addin~ Dallas/Fort Worth, the fifth largest. "Located in one of the top five media markets in the country, TCU al l enables the Big Eas extend its media footp , which already encompasses more than a quarter of the country,'' league commissioner John Marinatto said. The only current Big East team ranked in the AP poll is No. 23 West Virgmia (8-3, 4-2 Big East), which is 24th in the BCS standings. Connecticut (7-4, 4-2) could get the league's automatic BCS spot. TCU might not have been headed to a BCS game without Boise State's loss Friday night in overtime at Nevada. Had the Broncos remained undefeated. there was a real possibility that the Broncos could have passed the Frogs in the BCS standings and been the only non-AQ team to get into one of the top-level bowls. • "This is a w.eat mo Patterson srud. ''I'll say this. we don't seem to get bored around this place. ... The one last mark people have held against in recruiting is that we were not an automatic qualifier. Now that's been erased." TCU was a BCS buster for the first time last season, then lost to Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. The Frogs have won 25 consecutive regular-season games, and 38 of 41 overall. The only losses in that span were in the Fiesta Bowl, and games at Oklahoma and Utah. ''Coach Patterson's done a great job there and has broll!!ht an awful lot of exposure to themselves just because of the success that they've had,'' South Florida coach Skip Holtz said. .. over the last five (they) have been the leaders in this BCS busters thing. and they've done it on-a consistent basis. They've proven that they can compete at that level, that they're deserving of having the opportunity .to be in a BCS conference.'~ Louisville athletic director Torn Jurich believes TCU is ··a great addition" to the Big East. and has no problem with the league expanding so far west. "Hey, the Big l2's got 10. the Big to·s got 12.'' Jurich said. "Wlrv should we be any differe-nt?" With all TCU sports moving to the Big East. it will create a 17-team basketball league. Marinatto said the lea~u~ wa.s aware of !he logiStiCal ISSUeS asSOCiated with having 17 bas. ball teams and nine f ball teams and that those issues would be addressed. He wouldn't discuss the possibility of even more schools being added to the league outside of what the league previously stated. Big East presidents unanimously agreed Nov. 2 to expand the number of football-playing schools to 10. Villanova. which won the FCS national championship Ia.;;t season, has been considering since earlier this fall the possibility of moving up m cla~sification to join the league. The Big East will be the fourth conference for TCU since the Southwe:.t Conference broke apart after the t 995 season and the Frogs weren't an1ong the Texas schools that becmne palt of the B ~ 'g TCU was in the from 1996-2000 bet going to Conference USA for four seasons and then JOilllllg the Mountain West in 2005. When Nebraska announced it was leaving the Big 12 for the Big I 0 and Colorado• declared its move to the Pac-1 0, the Big 12 opted against adding TCU or anybody else and plans to move forward as ~ 10-team league for now. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
