The Minister for Agriculture insists payments will be made to Clare farmers for non-productive investments under the ACRES scheme no later than September. A non-productive investment, or NPI, is a small-scale environmental action like the creation of field margins, wild bird cover or the planting of trees. Speaking in the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Agriculture and Food, Bodyke Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney says some farmers in the likes of the Burren and the Slieve Aughty Mountains are waiting two-and-a-half years for payments. Fine Gael's Martin Heydon says progress is being made.

This week on Podcast UFO, host Martin Willis speaks with constitutional attorney and longtime disclosure advocate Danny Sheehan about the explosive new white paper from the New Paradigm Institute (NPI), Disinformation: The U.S. Government's Suppression of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena and Advanced Science. Written by NPI's Kevin Wright, the paper details how U.S. government agencies have used secrecy, disinformation, and classification to suppress knowledge of UAPs and advanced technologies. He believes that the "National Security State" (refers to the collection of institutions, laws, and personnel within a country dedicated to formulating, enforcing, and ensuring the continuity of its national security policy) is suppressing evidence when it comes to the UAP Topic.SHOW NOTESBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.

The Straits Times Index was up 0.07% at 3,834.77 points at about 12.26pm Singapore time with a value turnover of S$801.09M in the broader market. In terms of counters to watch today, we have CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust after it posted net property income (NPI) of S$291.5 million for Q1 FY2025, a 0.8 per cent drop from the previous corresponding period. Elsewhere, from China reportedly considering suspending its 125 per cent tariff on some US imports to how Singapore Airlines has partnered OpenAI to develop and execute generative AI solutions for the airline – more international and corporate headlines remain in focus.

The National Provider Identifier is assigned to every medical facility and physician throughout the United States through a national standard laid out by HIPAA when performing industry and administrative tasks such as submitting billing services to insurance companies, keeping patient and medical records, and auditing. In comparison, the Provider Transaction Access Number is more limited in its application as it pertains only to Medicare related claims and transactions. Despite both being used to identify personnel and medical facilities within the realm of healthcare, the NPI and PTAN are distinct in application. A provider will only have one NPI to comply with the national standard, however, they may be linked with multiple PTAN IDs depending on if the provider is associated with multiple medical practices.

The first NPI — the NCAA Power Index, a replacement for RPI— has been released. With that has extreme implications for the NCAA Tournament and how it is seeded. Kap and Caleb are back with that, plus a ton of big-time results: Salisbury's victory over CNU, Tufts' OT thriller with Wesleyan, and a Roanoke vs. Lynchburg game that immediately was tagged as a classic.  There has been goal controversy with a pair of games involving the Jumbos that the guys touch on, too. This year, Inside Lacrosse is proud to partner with the NCAA to offer you, our loyal listeners, $5 off all single-day ticket options (men and women) by using the code ILPOD at checkout.

The NCAA Division III Men's and Women's Tournaments and brackets are set. The new NPI was the source of all the selections and mock brackets had different ideas than what were revealed. So how did the national committees come up with their brackets and decisions on who to play where and when? Plus, we hear from teams dancing in the tournaments for the first time in a long time. Tune into the Hoopsville Bracket Breakdown as Dave McHugh is back in studio and rolling his sleeves up on the national tournaments. We chat with both national committee chairs about the brackets. We also talk to four hoops programs who made some waves in the final days and weeks of the regular season and are still playing in March. It's all part of a special Tuesday matinee of Hoopsville presented by D3hoops.com. Guests appearing on the Hudl Hoopsville Hotline: - National Committee Chairs - Bethany Dannelly, women's chair and OAC commissioner - John Alesi, men's chair and Baruch men's coach - Ramiro Dominguez, Principia women's coach - Colin Tabb, Western New England men's coach - Clay Nunley & Marcus Morgan, No. 20 Roanoke coach and junior guard - Marion Dietz, Mount St. Mary women's coach - Ryan Scott, D3hoops.com Around the National Columnist

It is an annual event. The regular season is officially over and teams eagerly wait to see where they may be playing in the NCAA Tournaments, but it is different this year. We know who has made the tournaments, so there is a bit more time to look at where teams may end up on those brackets and where they may play. Tune in to the annual Hoopsville Selection Sunday Special hosted by Pat Coleman tonight (Dave McHugh is away on a business trip). Pat will have interviews with teams who have clinched their bids automatically or may be nervously waiting to see how the final NPI numbers work themselves out for at-large selections. Plus, hear from both national committee chairs on the landscape they see in front of them and their committees as they try and bracket with new priorities and perspectives. Guests appearing on the Hudl Hoopsville Hotline: - National Committee Chairs - John Alesi, men's chair and Baruch men's coach - Bethany Dannelly, women's chair and OAC commissioner - Ryan Hyland, John Jay men's coach - Mark Christner, Calvin women's coach - Laurie Kelly, No. 6 Gustavus Adolphus women's coach - Dave Arsenault, Jr., Grinnell men's coach - Troy Patterson and Kailey Mulkey, Texas Lutheran women's coach - Jason Zimmerman, No. 12 Emory men's coach - Ryan Scott, bracketologist and D3hoops.com Around the National Columnist

The final push is here. In just days, the Division III regular season will be over and just 128 teams will be left to play for two national championships. It promises to be a furious finish. On a matinee edition of Thursday's Hoopsville, hear from some of the programs hoping to either secure a place in the NCAA tournaments or secure a higher seed to enjoy some home court and cooking. Plus, we chat with one program not afraid of a close game or a last second shot. And we take a look at the latest top seeds per NPI, updates to the coaching carousel, and more on Thursday's edition of Hoopsville presented by D3hoops.com. Guests appearing on the Hudl Hoopsville Hotline: - Steve Djurickovic, No. 23 Carthage men's coach - Lynette Schroeder, Southern Virginia women's coach - 'Dos Reverse' - Gettysburg - Nate Davis, No. 12 women's coach - BJ Dunne, men's coach - Corinne Jones, Brockport women's coach - Chris Murphy and Matthew Garside, Union men's coach and sophomore guard

Ministerstvo školství (MŠMT) spolu s Národním pedagogickým institutem (NPI) letos v polovině ledna představily novou finální podobu předělaných Rámcových vzdělávacích programů pro předškolní a základní vzdělávání. Ten druhý, tedy programy pro základní školy, jsem si přečetl.

Hoopsville is once again home to the Top 16 Seeds reveal in conjunction with the D-III national committees. Get a preview of who could be hosting and how brackets would come together if the NCAA Tournaments started this weekend. Also hear exclusively from both nat'l committee chairs. Also on Thursday's edition of Hoopsville presented by D3hoops.com, hear exclusively from both DIII national committee chairs on how the NPI system has worked within their committees along with what they are already looking at in terms of bracketing opportunities and challenges. Which teams may look like they could host but may have to hit the road? And why the term "protected seeds" doesn't mean they are guaranteed to host. It was a very popular addition to the countdown to the Division III national tournaments and it's back, exclusively on Hoopsville. Also stay tuned after our conversation with the committee chairs for a look at conference races that could alter the Top 8 and Top 16 seeding even in the final ten days of the season. Plus, we look at some of the dark horse teams you should be watching closely for how they can alter the DIII bracket landscape. We hear from a few of our experts and put our toe into the water of who is a lock and who is in trouble of moving in and out of coveted seed placement. Guests include: - National Committee Chairs: - John Alesi, men's chair and Baruch men's coach - Bethany Dannelly, women's chair and Ohio Athletic Conference commissioner - Ryan Scott, D3hoops.com columnist - Pat Coleman, D3hoops.com Editor-in-Chief 

Less than two weeks remains in the regular season. Conference races to determine conference playoffs are finishing up and teams are trying to figure out their chances of playing in March. On Monday's Hoopsville, we chat with a few programs who have wrapped up regular season conference titles or positioned to do so this week. And we once again bring a couple of more coaches on to not ask them about their own programs in this week's 'Dos Reverse' segment. Plus new Top 25 polls are coming out, latest NPI numbers to ponder, updates with on going stories, and so much more on tonight's edition of Hoopsville presented by D3hoops.com Guests appearing on the Hudl Hoopsville Hotline: - Kristen Dowling, Whittier women's coach - Karin Harvey, Montclair State women's coach - Damion Jablonski, No. 15 Whitworth men's coach - John DeGrood & Wyatt Olson, No. 21 Gustavus Adolphus men's coach & 5th year center - Hoopsville 'Dos Reverse' Segment - Randolph-Macon: - Lindsey Burke-Eberhart, women's coach - Josh Merkel, No. 4 men's coach

Alan Fredendall // #LeadershipThursday // www.ptonice.com  In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, ICE Chief Operating Officer Alan Fredendall dives into 3 key tasks to perform following incorporation of your own rehab practice..

The 2024-25 season has seen quite a few programs emerge as threats to win conference championships or be a national contender that maybe even the experts did not expect to be so competitive. And how has adjusting to the National Power Index working? What should we expect as the NPI numbers start to roll out and bracketing starts to appear on the horizon? On Thursday's Hoopsville, we talk to a handful of programs making, maybe, unexpected waves. Just how are those programs managing their seasons, expectations, and now everyone else's best efforts? Plus, we sit-down with the men's and women's national committee chairs. Hear how they have adjusted to using NPI, what the role of the Regional Advisory Committees (RACs) have evolved, how bracketing will take shape (and what we may have learned from fall sports), and much more. It is all part of a supersized edition of Hoopsville. Guests appearing on the Hudl Hoopsville Hotline: - Aaron Aanonsen, No. 8 Wis. Lutheran men's coach - Eric Bridgeland, No. 19 Redlands men's coach - Jon Herbrechtsmeyer, No. 25 Bethel women's coach - Katherine Auguste, No. 23 Colorado Col. women's coach - National Committee Chairs: - John Alesi, Baruch men's coach - Bethany Dannelly, OAC commissioner Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com.

Moreover, sellers are often unfamiliar with their own status. Front office team members manage this information and sellers may not request this information for fear of revealing a pending sale?! To verify individual doctor's credentialing status, dentists should proactively maintain copies of their insurance contracts. Direct contact with insurance networks to verify, and, when possible, inquire with front office staff about existing credentialing contracts. 14:50 Common Roadblocks and ChallengesCommon delays in the credentialing process for dentists include expired malpractice insurance, reliance on employer-provided coverage. Insurance companies often require a finalized bill of sale before approving contracts, further delaying the process. Keeping dental licenses and CAQH profiles updated is crucial, especially when transitioning between states. Working with professionals early on helps streamline the process, ensuring all necessary documents are in place to avoid unnecessary delays.19:10 How Long Does it Take to Get CredentialedWhile some claim it can be completed in as little as two weeks, the reality depends on factors like whether the provider is joining an existing practice or establishing a new entity with its own tax ID and NPI. The process involves multiple contracts, including terminating old agreements, which can cause delays. A best-case scenario suggests a 12-week turnaround, but errors in applications or insurance company delays can extend the process. Proper expectations and persistence are key to navigating credentialing successfully.28:20 What Does Being Out of Network Mean?! Failing to properly prepare for network credentialing can create significant issues for dental practices, especially when patients realize they are unexpectedly out of network. This can lead to frustration, distrust, and potential financial concerns. But many offices make the transition harder than necessary by not fully understanding, in the interim, they can still honor network fees while awaiting credentialing. Proper planning and clear patient communication are key to ensuring a smooth transition and avoiding unnecessary complications. The importance of working with a trusted, experienced professional over the anecdotal advice given by peers who probably lack the firsthand experience involved in the credentialing processes. 36:05 Working With Credentialing CompaniesThe extensive effort and tracking involved in credentialing, underscoring that their goal is to complete the process as quickly and smoothly as possible. Despite misconceptions, delays often stem from insurance companies rather than credentialing firms, and the representatives frontline callers interact with may not have access to accurate information. Ultimately, they urge more understanding and patience, reinforcing that passion and expertise drive Next Level Consultants to achieve the best outcomes for their clients.

Greg Rose has a long history of fostering software Developer Communities at various large corporations in Silicon Valley. He is currently a Digital Marketing Manager for the New Paradigm Institute, a public policy and law non-profit based in Santa Cruz. The New Paradigm Institute (NPI) is focused on UFO disclosure and transparency. NPI is an initiative of the Romero Institute, which has a 50-year history of seeking justice and holding powerful people and institutions accountable. 

This week's EYE ON NPI is an EYE ON A PI - it's the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/r/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-compute-module-5), the latest update to the easily embeddable mini modules that make industrial developers happy by giving them all the power of a Pi 5 in a ready-to-go pluggable solution. The Raspberry Pi computer launched with the goal of bringing low cost computing to the education market (https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/rorycellanjones/2011/05/a_15_computer_to_inspire_young.html) and through the Pi Foundation (https://www.raspberrypi.org/) they still have that charitable goal (https://static.raspberrypi.org/files/about/RaspberryPiFoundationStrategy2025.pdf) while also spinning off the manufacturing/sales company into the Trading Company which went public this year (https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/what-would-an-ipo-mean-for-the-raspberry-pi-foundation/). The first few Raspberry Pi computers were 'all in one' style (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1344), with power, GPIO, Video and Audio output, USB, Ethernet, and Micro SD card storage (https://raspi.tv/2018/new-raspberry-pi-family-photo-including-pi3a-plus-zero-wh). Eventually enough folks asked for an enclosure-friendly version that would allow an "I/O" board to be designed with the ports in a different arrangement - the big-sized-Pis have them arrayed over 3 sides. To solve this conundrum, and to satisfy the growing industrial/commercial market, the Pi engineers designed the Compute Module 1 which is still available (https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/compute-module-1/). This clever SODIMM packaged board has all the GPIO and peripheral pins on a plug-in connector so you can slot it into an existing design securely and easily - SODIMM sockets (https://www.digikey.com/short/rz9cdjrn) come both vertical and horizontal. This was later updated to the CM3 and CM3+ (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/raspberry-pi/SC0149/9866293) which was on par with the Pi 3 instead of the Pi 1, with significantly higher computational power. However, perhaps because they wanted a more compact module, or to support high-frequency signals better, the next generation of Compute Module 4's (https://www.digikey.com/short/wffzdn0b) came in a flat rectangular shape with dual 100-pin Hirose contacts. (https://www.digikey.com/short/5m8djf0t) Another nice thing that happened with the CM4 is it became available in dozens of configurations: 1/2/4/8 GB RAM, SD or 8/16/32GB MMC, and with or without WiFi/BLE/BT. This allowed commercial users to go with the 'lowest cost option' needed to fulfill their requirements - whereas the Pi 4 comes in only 3 or 4 RAM options (https://www.digikey.com/short/4pn5vw24). The ready-to-go software - no kernel compiling or OpenWRT configuration required! Long-term hardware support and low prices pushed the CM4 into more and more designs. Which brings us to the NPI of the week, the Compute Module 5 (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/r/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-compute-module-5)! The CM5 is a big upgrade, with quad A76s at 2.4GHz for a 2x computing upgrade, increased RAM options of up to 16G, increased MMC option of 64GB, USB 3.0 ports, PCIe and RP1 hardware interfacing with PIO support (https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/piolib-a-userspace-library-for-pio-control/). If you have an existing CM4 design, you can easily upgrade or update to the new hotness. If you're new to integrating Raspberry pi, then while you may think of the Pi as a hobby/school computer, that isn't necessarily true anymore with 72% of Pi computers sold going into commercial/industrial use (https://investors.raspberrypi.com/ipo/documents/1). That means you can be confident that you'll get consistent pricing and availability for a long time so that you can work on designing the rest of your product for the CM series to plug into. And like the CM4, the CM5 is available in a variety of configurations and prices, from $45 to $135. Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5's are currently only available for pre-order (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/r/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-compute-module-5) , with estimated ship times in Q1 of 2025 to DigiKey - and the moment DigiKey gets some in stock, they'll ship your pre-order instantly so you can get integrating with the Pi ecosystem the very next day. Don't wait till release day because they'll sell out instantly! Instead, when you pre-order from DigiKey, your order goes into a queue and you'll get first-come-first-served prioritization.

In this podcast episode, Dawn Tiura of SIG interviews Jon Winsett, CEO of NPI, discussing the evolution and challenges of IT procurement. They explore how NPI helps enterprises manage IT spend effectively, the complexities of software licensing, and the importance of negotiation strategies. John shares insights on the growing significance of IT procurement in organizations and offers best practices for sourcing professionals as they prepare for the challenges of 2025.

Now everyone in the playoffs has played at least one postseason game, or if you look at it another way, more than 60% of the playoff games are already over. And people are in a hurry to dismiss the WIAC, and they're in a hurry to crown NPI, because higher seeds have won 21 of the 24 games. (Of course, higher seeds have been at home in 23 out of 24 games, which might be a factor.) What did we learn from these games? Of the remaining high seeds, which ones improved their standing, improved their chances of going deep into this bracket, and which ones' chances are diminished? Patrick and Greg go through it all in this edition of the podcast. And most importantly, if the Texas Lutheran-Linfield game was dessert, what kind of dessert was it?  We hear from coaches and players involved in second-round games on Saturday, and we sit down with Johns Hopkins coach Dan Wodicka to talk about his team's heart-stopping finish against Grove City, their defensive prowess and their offensive adjustments as the season has progressed. Wodicka, who played for and coached under the late Jim Margraff, talks about how playing at JHU made him want to coach there, and reminds us how the program is carrying on Margraff's memory. Plus, who is leading the staff pick-em contest that is better known as Quick Hits? Stay tuned to hear about whose picks are doing the best, and to hear a tribute to his performance so far. 

Mark shares and update on how AI is allowing pratices to increase their revenunes by ensuring that no call goes unanswered.

Why is Endicott playing in the first round? Why is Ursinus? Why does Centre get a bye? Why does Salisbury have to face a 6 or 7 seed in its first game instead of a 9 or 10? When the teams are already identified and all boiled down to a number value by a mathematical equation, the bracket is all we can talk about, and go figure, sometimes decisions are still being made by geography. Sometimes the NPI ranking of a team doesn't match up with what the general Division III fandom thinks, or what our voters think. And it doesn't seem like we would learn anything from talking to the NCAA committee chair, so we decided instead to interview the algorithm. Or in this case, we talked to Logan Hansen about who the last teams in and first teams out were, how John Carroll and Mary Hardin-Baylor made their big jumps up the NPI ranking, and exactly how much of an impact the UW-River Falls win over UW-Oshkosh on Saturday had -- it's more than you probably think. And it's way more insightful than most committee chair conversations, so we hope you agree. Plus, we chat with Linfield coach Joe Smith for Fast Five, about west coast D-III football, his team's two-quarterback system, and the Wildcats finally being able to put last season's loss to Whitworth in Week 11 behind them. And we take a number of your questions in our mailbag segment. The D3football.com

A Wednesday Crunchtime?! You bet! Frank & JB go in-depth on 10 of the best #d3fb games of the week, with plenty of video clips before breaking down how NPI might affect teams near the “cut line” as Week 11 grows ever-closer. JB also reveals his Week 10 MVPs, and the guys discuss their upcoming coverage of the end of the regular season and the beginning of the postseason!   As always, please remember to like and share this episode for other D3 football fans to find it!

We're definitely late this week (Frank's fault as discussed in the comments), but we still wanted to get you the Week 9 recap for 2024 #d3fb — and we didn't skimp as we bring you highlights from 16 games this week! Frank & JB also discuss how wins and losses affect NPI (and some anomalies that exist as a result), list who has clinched automatic bids, and much more! As always, please remember to like and share this episode for other D3 football fans to find it!

It's been...too long since my best friend Alex Thomas has been able to record with us. She's back to invite you to a fundraiser for her place, Neighborhood Properties, at Maumee Bay Brewing, something we're calling Q Karaoke.  Once she shared her role in creating the Wellness Center for NPI. We'll go back over that but also, what NPI does.  Then some election stuff, which is still relevant even today!

This week on The EEcosystem, David Lane brings 30 years of design engineering and PCB assembly expertise to the table. He dives into the critical differences between prototypes and NPI, sharing tips to get it right early in development. Plus, discover how to harness the power best-in-class DfA and collaborating with your assembly partner early in your design process. Don't miss this blend of experience and innovation!   

Most years, we dedicate some space on the website or some time in our podcast to really give newcomers to Division III football a bit of a primer as to how the playoffs are structured, how at-large bids are determined, the whole 10 yards. But this year, let's face it -- we're all newbies in some manner. Nobody has ever actually put together the Division III football bracket in this manner.  So, forget what you learned last year, or any of the previous 10 or more years. All that is out the window. You've been hearing about NPI -- the NCAA Power Index? If you've been hearing angry things, well, hey, we don't love the system either, but it's what we have, so we're going to give it to you straight. Patrick and Greg spend the top of the show detailing what we know about the 40-team playoff bracket, how it will be constructed, what it means to be a Top Eight seed and more. Then Logan Hansen will talk a little more about what goes into the NPI and how it's calculated, and lastly we'll take your questions in our mailbag segment, and there were a lot of questions, so we took several more than usual. Five teams clinched automatic bids to the playoffs this week as well, and save themselves from having to worry at all about NPI. That includes Susquehanna, and we'll talk with River Hawks coach Tom Perkovich in our Fast Five conversation. And we go through our usual run of high points from Region 1 through Region 6, Greg gets put on the spot about a swing state, Patrick does weather on the 8's, and more. The D3football.com podcast is a weekly in-season podcast by Patrick Coleman and Greg Thomas, which was started in 2007. New episodes are published weekly during the season.

In this episode of Perspectives, Dr. Nicholas Morris interviews Dr. Giuseppe Soterio, professor of anaesthesia and intensive care at Milano-Bicocca University, about the Orange study, which investigated the neurological pupil index (NPI) for prognosticating outcomes in patients with acute brain injury. The study, involving 13 centers in Europe and North America, found that repeat abnormal MPI values, including zero, were predictors of poor outcomes. The study collected data every four hours for seven days, using a sophisticated statistical model to account for longitudinal changes. Despite initial expectations, the study did not find a strong correlation between MPI and ICP, suggesting MPI should not be used as a surrogate for ICP. Future research may focus on developing a standardized response to low MPI values.

Frank & JB preview the best #d3fb 2024 Week 9 action, focusing on major impact games and looking at potential NPI ranking effects for conferences with big games. They also predict 12 games after interviewing great guests, including Muhlenberg Sr. QB Joe Repetti and Montclair State Head Coach Mike Palazzo. Tune in and get ready for Week 9!

Once again, Frank & JB review 14 of the most exciting games of the week in their “Crunchtime” #d3fb Week 8 video review. They also look at the Guardian Cap discussion from the Salve Regina game Saturday, name JB's Week 8 MVPs, and dive deeper than ever into the newest NPI rankings for the Division.

Frank & JB once again bring you some of the best highlights of #d3fb Week 7 of the 2024 season, as they showcase 15 games from across the country. They also go into in-depth discussion about what we REALLY learned from the NPI rankings released last weekend — in a way that ordinary folks like them can understand — and they begin to pick out some potential interesting scenarios that might develop down the line. JB also names his Week 7 MVPs and MORE!   Tune in and make sure to SHARE this episode!

No, we didn't get a four-way tie for first in the MAC after this weekend, but we still have plenty of chaos across Division III football after seven weeks. Part of this is because eight more playoff bids means more teams are in contention for the playoffs, but mostly, we're just talking about teams chasing conference automatic bids. So in the Presidents' Athletic Conference, that's five teams in contention. In the WIAC, it's really six. It's four in the MAC and at least three in the ODAC. We'll run those down and talk about which big games are left in each conference. Our Fast Five guest is Western Connecticut (WestConn) coach Joe Loth, whose Wolves are laying waste to MASCAC teams in their final year in the league before they and Castleton get kicked to the curb. Plus, should we let Greg throw in a bonus conference just to make sure he can play his random card? Does Patrick stick with his prepared material or abandon it to make sure he doesn't get stuck holding a card? Which conference told its coaches that tiebreakers had changed after the season started? And we'll get you a daily double of defense in game balls, give you more defensive prowess in Stat of the Week, run down the new NPI numbers -- you know, the NCAA Power Index -- and explain why they might be wrong, or at least, not the same as the numbers you see elsewhere. And we'll tell you who's having fun in the 1, who's going for 2 in the 2, what's the key to the 3, what's the score in the 4, who's looking alive in the 5 and who's got a new bag of tricks in the 6. That plus the mailbag, games to watch, on the spot and more in this week's podcast.

Frank & JB bring you one of their most exciting Crunchtime episodes ever as they recap 14 sets of highlights from Week 6 action in #d3fb, including the three major WIAC games that caught the nation's attention. JB names his MVPs, and Frank discusses not only his trip to Grove City, PA, but also breaks down the NPI potential shocks developing for conferences like the WIAC and PAC, among others.

Listen, this podcast is fun to put together and we think and hope that it is informative, but we are always trying to do more. So this week, since we've finally had some games played, we're adding a couple of new wrinkles to the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast. First of all, since this season the at-large bids and the seedings are basically all going to be done by computers, we figured we'd better get you all ready for that, so we've invited back our Math Correspondent, Logan Hansen. In his Football Analytics 3:01 segment, he's going to spend exactly 3 minutes, 1 second of your time talking about who is key in the running for those top eight spots in the new NCAA Power Index, that thing we call NPI. We'll tell you more about what that means. He'll also spotlight some of the big games -- key leverage games and games that will shape the playoff picture. When you ask Patrick and Greg what the most shocking result was from Week 1 and they both say the same thing, that says a lot. It's a quick run through the top games from this past week, plus the implications and some of the history.  1999 game story from D3football.com; Johns Hopkins rallies from 17 down to beat F&M We also hand out game balls to the top performers, pick out the stats of the week, and run through region by region to get some of the other stories you might have missed. And since that didn't seem to be enough, Greg and Patrick have to pick one more region to tell one more story about on the fly. At a roll of the dice, you never know what they might end up talking about -- even a JV game?  Plus we chat with Calvin head coach Trent Figg, just minutes after his team defeated Oberlin in dominating fashion in the program's first-ever football game. There's that and so much more in this week's podcast, so give it a listen! The D3football.com podcast is a weekly in-season podcast by Patrick Coleman and Greg Thomas, which was started in 2007.
