What if God was Your Best Friend? [Excerpt by Wes Yoder]
Excerpt from Wes Yoder's Bond of Brothers: Connecting with Other Men Beyond Work, Weather and Sports (eBook).

If it is entirely true — and it is — that God, who now lives within me, knows all my thoughts and loves me anyway, I have to say two things: God suddenly has become my best friend, and perhaps he was all along the way.
I can fear his friendship, which I will do if I do not believe he is good, or I can welcome him and start living an unbelievable life with a new partner and friend.
He knows all my sorrows and everything else within me. His Spirit is the searchlight that knows and sees all. And his Spirit makes of my life a light that illuminates dark places so others can find their way.
So imagine what might happen if both you and your wife have the same best friend — God — and quit hoping you won't disappoint each other because you know and accept that you will, and because you know your best friend will be there to help you sort out the mess.
Your life would be different, and perhaps you, too, would have a hard time remembering why you thought you needed [a legalistic and perfectionistic] religion when you have a perpetual invitation to enjoy a relationship with God.

Upson County Concerned Citizens (UC3) wants everyone to come out Saturday afternoon, August 18, and enjoy some good country music while helping to save The Ritz Theater. The Ritz will be the site of the Country Jamboree, featuring the Slim Pickins Band.
Local entertainers, including the Blues Brothers and Sisters, Sylvia Winters, and Jennifer Cintron of Radical Change – runner up in the Texaco Country Showdown – will open the show at 2 p.m. with some of today's best rock and country music.
At 3 p.m., the Slim Pickins Band will take the stage. Slim Pickins was organized in 2005, with original members John Wise on lead guitar, Grady Kelly of Thomaston on drums, Bowman Pace of Jackson on bass, Taylor "Sonny Boy" Williamson on mandolin, and James McElreath of Morrow. The band's mission statement is to play and sing country music in the traditional style in order to keep the memory of that great mus8ic out front.
Current members include John Wise and Frank Brannon, both members of the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame, Taylor "Sonny Boy" Williamson, and Bowman Pace. Grady Kelly of Thomaston, who has since retired, will reunite with the band to play drums.
Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased at The Ritz Theater, Hog Heaven, the TUAC Gallery, or from UC3 committee members.

Churchill had refused the Order of the Garter in 1945, quipping that he couldn't accept the garter from the king after the people gave him the boot. But in 1953 he relented and accepted the honour? Is it known what exactly made him change his mind?
The order of the garter was "Restored to gift of the Sovereign by Attlee in 1946". So maybe he wouldn't accept it from the Labour prime minister but would accept it from George VI. I personally think sour grapes is the explanation, it fits with his personality, which seems a bit tempestuous. And he did change party (or "Cross the Floor") twice, so perhaps he was open to changing his mind from time to time. |
What makes the most sense to me was that in 1945 he (actually his party) had just been voted out of office. At this point he still had hopes of getting back the majority (and perhaps the PM office), and in fact he did regain it in 1951. So I think in 1945 he was mostly telling you what his problem was. He was still an active politician, and as such it would be next to impossible to accept such an honor without it being tainted by Great Britian's extant political climate. People could not help but speculate that there were crass political dimensions to the "honor". In 1953 he was PM again. However, he was also 78, and suffered a fairly bad stroke, after which he never walked or spoke quite right again. He was clearly in his declining years, and in fact retired the PM position 2 years later. So at this point the logic that compelled him to decline the honor a decade prior no longer applied. Its also quite possible that, given his failing health, the soverign was a bit more insistent on giving it to him this time, for fear of any further wait causing it to have to be bestowed posthumously. |

A Community of Exceptional Nurses
Successful applicants will be notified within 90 days of the application deadline.
Grant awards are determined by the reviewing body according to the guidelines for the program and budget. Grantees will be paid by check from the AACN national office.
Funds will be awarded to the investigator or the investigator's institution, depending on the preference of the grantee. If funds are awarded directly to an investigator, IRS Form 1099 will be issued to that investigator at the end of the calendar year.
Funds should be used to support the direct costs of the project, including but not limited to:
Funds may not be used for:
Grantees may use multiple sources of funding for their projects.
AACN limits the indirect costs to 10% of the direct costs and requires indirect costs to be included in the grant award. Indirect costs may include expenses incurred to publish and/or present study results.
Direct costs are those costs that can be identified specifically with a particular sponsored project, an instructional activity or any other institutional activity, or can be directly assigned to such activities relatively easily with a high degree of accuracy.
Indirect (or facilities and administrative, F&A) costs are incurred by a grantee for common or joint objectives and, therefore, cannot be identified specifically with a particular project or program.
All unspent funds must be returned to AACN within six months of completion of the project.
In the event the funded principal investigator transfers to another institution during the term of the grant, the funds will remain provided the institution can supply documentation that another qualified person can complete the research.
If no appropriately qualified researcher at the original institution can complete the funded study, the funds will be transferred to the principal investigator's new institution.
Grantees are required to submit annual progress reports and a final progress report to AACN. Reports are due March 1 of each year.
If the research or project cannot be conducted within the stipulated timeframe, a change in timeline must be requested and approved or the unspent funds must be returned to AACN.
Changes in timelines must be requested in writing and will be approved in writing only.
Grantees must acknowledge the financial support (full or in part) of AACN and the applicable co-sponsor in all publications and presentations. For example, "This project was funded by a grant from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses and Philips Medical Systems."
All studies using animal models must adhere to AACN's policy on the use of animal models in research and evidence must be attached that studies involving animals have been reviewed by the Animal Care Committee.
As part of the final research report, grantees are required to submit an abstract. We encourage grantees to independently publish or present the results of their study or project.
We also strongly recommend that all award recipients submit an abstract for consideration for oral or poster presentation at the annual National Teaching Institute. Abstracts accepted for presentation will be designated as either oral or poster presentations at NTI, and individuals whose abstracts are accepted will receive a $75 reduction in NTI registration.
Four NTI Research Awards will be presented for oral abstracts reflecting outstanding original research, replication research or research utilization. Each award provides $1,000 toward NTI expenses.
Please go to our Call for Research & Creative Solutions Abstracts page for additional information.

Up till now I didn't even bother checking it out as the console versions got such bad reviews. But then I read something about Castle of Illusion and I knew I'm so gonna get this game. Those early nineties Disney platformers were great. To me this is simply Castle of Illusion 4 (Game Gear had three Illusion titles preceding thise one).
Disney Epic Mickey: The Power of Illusion Review
Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is a great platformer with inventive level design and a colourful cast of classic Disney characters.
The Good
- Tight platforming feel
- Great, challenging level design
- Colourful visuals that are full of charm
- Lots of classic Disney characters to meet
- RPG elements provide lots of extra content.
The Bad
- Later levels might be too challenging for some.
Don't let the cutesy good looks and eclectic collection of Disney characters fool you: Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is a ruthless platformer. Like the classic Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion games it's inspired by, there's little in the way of hand-holding as you're pushed through its smart, well-designed levels and asked to save the world with little more than a stomp and a paintbrush. And while the tight platforming is a wonderful thing, it's Power of Illusion's role-playing elements, such as side quests, shops, and a leveling system (albeit, a basic one), that make it such a rich experience.
It helps that there's a story tying the whole thing together, which draws from both the older games and Mickey's latest outings in the Epic Mickey series. Oswald once again summons Mickey to the Wasteland--a sort of limbo for forgotten cartoon characters--except this time he needs Mickey's help. The evil witch Mizrabel's Castle of Illusion has suddenly appeared, and cartoon characters across the Wasteland are disappearing fast. It's up to you to enter the castle, search its rooms, find the missing toons, and take down Mizrabel once and for all.
To do so, you have a number of special abilities at your disposal. You can spin to take down enemies, fire blobs of paint and thinner at them, or bounce off their heads. It's the latter that makes the platforming so satisfying, thanks to tight controls and a neat mechanic that rewards you for riskier attacks. If you leave your bounce attack to the very last second--just before you come into contact with an enemy--you gain a super-bounce, which leads to more item drops and sends you skyrocketing to access secret or difficult-to-reach areas.
Each room in the castle is based on a classic Disney franchise such as Peter Pan, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin. There's a great attention to detail at play that makes levels not only a joy to look at, but a joy to play. The vast ships of the Peter Pan levels give you plenty of room to jump around, while cannons and barrel-rolling henchmen provide obstacles for you to duck and weave your way through.
The Little Mermaid levels are more constrained, with tight, jellyfish-filled tunnels and rows of spikes requiring precise movements to make it through safely. While Mickey has unlimited lives and can take multiple hits before his health bar is depleted, getting killed during a level sends you straight back to the beginning. That can be frustrating, particularly during some of the extremely challenging levels in the latter half of the game, but the sweetness of the platforming inspires you to give it just one more go.
Aside from traditional platforming obstacles such as spikes, fireballs, and moving platforms, Power of Illusion also makes use of the touch screen in some inventive ways. It shows an outline of the platforms on the level, as well as objects you can interact with. Some, like cannons that fire you into the air, can be drawn in by following a specific outline, giving you access to new areas. Or you can remove obstacles like blocks by using thinner. The puzzles aren't overly taxing, but the fact that you have to stop what you're doing and peer down at the touch screen to solve them means they sometimes interfere with the smooth of flow of the platforming. There are bonuses for solving them, though, with a neat reward system giving you bonus paint, thinner, and a temporary speed boost for accurate drawing or erasing.
Game Emblems
The Good
Power of Illusion pays homage to the illusion and magical quest games, but fails to live up to their standards.
The disappointing length and difficulty frustrations shouldn't deter you from returning to the world of Illusion.

Police cadets learn to deal with mental illness issues during speech at Lorain County Community College (with video)
ELYRIA — More police officers commit suicide than are shot on the job. About one in five police officers will have mental health issues. These are a few of the startling statistics brought up during mental health advocate George Staursky's speech to Lorain County Community College police academy cadets yesterday.
The cadets are taking a course on interacting with special needs population as part of the basic police academy school. The course involves 16 hours of state-mandated instruction on the topic.
"One of the things we talk about at the academy is that you're an ordinary individual placed in extraordinary circumstances on a regular basis," said academy commander Paul Graupmann. "Some people can handle that very easily and just don't have a problem with it. But the kinds of things people see and are forced to do whether it may be the death of a child or the use of fatal force in a situation or someone hurts you in a way where you end up in a hospital, everybody reacts to that differently. There is some reluctance on the part of the officers to seek counseling and as a result of that the pressures just build up on police officers, because of the work and the long and unusual hours, as a result it manifests itself in situations where an officer would unfortunately kill himself."
Some policies such as one that says a FBI agent is not allowed to have a gun while taking psychoactive drugs tend to deter law enforcement officials from going to counseling or a psychiatrist. Graupmann said this is an issue because there is thinking in police work that if officers go to counseling, their colleagues will lose confidence in them to do their job. This notion is a mistake, he emphasized.
Staursky told the officers in training that they may personally struggle with mental health issues.
"They are seeing a lot of things that will trigger these disorders," he said. "They're going to see a murder scene that I'm never going to see. It's going to trigger some depression."
He shared tales from his own struggles with mental illness including two suicide attempts and a night when he found himself in the hospital. His low point was when he was taken to the hospital after an episode in 2001 and restrained to the hospital bed. He kept trying to flip the hospital bed and finally a nurse held a mirror up to Staursky and asked him, "How do you look now?" Shortly after he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
He emphasized to young students the most difficult part of dealing with mental illness is the stigma.
"The stigma is worse than any illness," Staursky said.
He cautioned cadets to never loose empathy or forget to show their human side when responding to calls regarding mental illness.
Cadet Patrick Jama took this point to heart. "This is a reinforcement that you need to talk to them on a personal level," he said. He felt better equipped to handle calls involving mental illness when he eventually becomes an Elyria police officer.
Over the past 12 years, Staursky said police have been making in strides in dealing with mental illness.
"Today, it seems like police are the only ones doing it right when they are dealing with people with this issues," Staursky said. "They de-escalate the situation. It's extremely rare that mistakes are made on the police side of it. The mistakes normally happen further on down the line,"
Law enforcement has put more emphasis on mental health training the past few years with the evolvement of crisis intervention training.
"We finally understand the depth of behavior brought on by mental illness is really a physical illness rather than just someone acting up," Staursky said. "Police officers have grasped that. They are the ones who have gone out on the forefront and decided they wanted to change things."
Going forward, Staursky said he would like to see a police officer overrule a physician because they are going to see psychosis firsthand.
Graupmann would like to see more training for law enforcement officers in this area since they are front lines of dealing with mental illness.
In closing, Staursky told the law enforcement hopefuls to not turn their back on seeking treatment if they do succumb to mental illness. Continued...
"Accept it, get help and go on with your life," Staursky said.

WHITEMARSH After a close first quarter, Plymouth Whitemarsh, led by a swarming defense and stellar bench play, went on to easily handle Cheltenham, 40-13.
I thought the girls were really active. We got big quality minutes out of our bench players, explained PW coach Dan Dougherty after the game. We were on a short bench tonight. One of our players, Rachel Konowal wasnt in the game, so we were limited to begin with. Laurie Givnish got into a little bit of foul trouble, Nikki Casey too.
(Maudie Orler) and (Cara Sweeney) were able to come in during that foul trouble situation off the bench and give us a lot of energy.
Orler and Sweeney chipped in with four points apiece.
The aforementioned foul trouble put the Lady Colonials in a bit of a bind in the 7-6 first. From there, PW put the clamps on taking each subsequent quarter 12-3, 12-3, and 9-2.
Dougherty also praised his teams defensive effort, particularly on the glass.
That was probably our best rebounding effort of the season, he said. Sometimes we struggle because were not a very tall team. I thought the girls came out real physical tonight, boxed out really hard, and really went after every rebound.
The tone from the Cheltenham side was markedly different, and Cheltenham coach Brendan Nolan was candid about the Lady Panthers struggles post-game.
There were times I turned around and said, I have no idea what were doing. I couldnt tell what play we were in; it was a mystery to me.
He cited his teams lack of aggressive multiple times as a possible culprit for his teams poor play.
We just completely lost all assertiveness. Everything weve picked up the last few weeks and the improvements we made just disappeared tonight, he said, a bit exasperated.
We missed a lot of opportunities to make one morepass for find a place where we could attack from. I dont know if we just didnt see it, or again, just lost aggressiveness.
Dougherty credited a good week of practice to his teams offensive success.
The last time we played them, we just werent able to find the seams in the zone, he said, referring to his teams loss against the Lady Panthers on December 18th. We practiced really hard yesterday, put in a little bit of a new motion offense to get ready for this game. The girls really saw it today.
Despite the bad loss, Nolan spoke with a bit of optimism about bouncing back for their next game, saying, I dont know who was out there playing in our jerseys, but weve just got to believe. This isnt us.
Dougherty doesnt think hell have trouble keeping his team focused after this big win. He said, We start five seniors. As it stands, were 7-8. We have seven games to go in their careers. Theyve already taken the mantra of Carpe diem when we go out to play a game.
They come out and they know that they want to cherish every game. Getting them focused hasnt been that big of an issue and I dont think itll be an issue on Friday night.
Kayla Wisniewski led PW with 13 points, followed by Maya Thomass 10. Amari Trueheart paced Cheltenham with four.
The next match-up for Plymouth Whitemarsh is at home Friday night against Wissahickon. Cheltenham also plays Friday night, and is slated to play Upper Dublin.

State School Superintendent John Barge recently named the 2013 Advanced Placement (AP) Honor Schools, and Troup County high schools were among the 424 recognized.
Callaway High School received recognition as a Georgia 2013 AP Challenge School, and LaGrange High School received recognition as an AP STEM Achievement School. Both high schools were named as AP STEM Schools.
AP Challenge Schools are those with 900 or fewer students with students testing in four of the core areas: English, math, science and social studies.
AP STEM Schools are those with students testing in at least two AP math courses and two AP science courses, like AP calculus AB, AP calculus BC, AP statistics, AP biology, AP chemistry, AP environmental science, AP physics B, AP physics C, AP computer science.
AP STEM Achievement Schools are those with students testing in at least two AP math courses and 2 AP science courses and at least 40 percent of the exam scores on AP math and AP science exams earning scores of three or higher.
Georgia has moved up to 12th in the nation in the percentage of seniors scoring a 3 or higher – a passing score – on AP exams, according to The College Board's AP Report to the Nation released last week. Georgia ranked 13th in the nation last year.
"Georgia's students continue to outperform most of their peers throughout the country on Advanced Placement exams," Barge said in a release. "These results show that Georgia's students can compete against any students in the nation. Just as SAT results get everyone's attention, I think the performance of our students on Advanced Placement exams deserves the same attention."
This report measures progress of the class of 2012. When results are broken out by subgroup, Georgia's African-American students rank second in the nation behind Washington D.C. in the percentage of seniors scoring a 3 or higher on AP exams. Georgia's 10-year increase – 10.1 percent – in the percentage of seniors scoring a 3 or higher on AP exams also shows impressive results, ranking ninth in the nation.
Georgia is also a national leader when it comes to public school students enrolling in AP courses and taking the exams, according to state school leaders. Only five other states in the country had a greater percentage of AP exam takers last year. The percentage of Georgia seniors who took an AP exam was 41.1 percent, compared to 32.4 percent for the nation.
The 2013 AP Honor Schools are named in five categories: AP Challenge Schools, AP Access and Support Schools, AP Merit Schools, AP STEM Schools and AP STEM Achievement Schools.

Building permits and inspections are required for new construction, additions, and remodeling work to confirm that all structures meet applicable City, State and National building code requirements. This ensures that all buildings within Albuquerque are built and maintained safely.
Land Clark, Chief Building Official, 505-924-3367
Building owners are required to maintain their buildings to ensure a safe environment for the citizens of Albuquerque. The Building Safety Division provides services that ensure that buildings within the City of Albuquerque are built and maintained to the applicable building standards and codes.
For your convenience, Plan Review Comments are available under "Quick Links" at the bottom of this page.
Before Beginning the Project
Whether you are considering building a new structure, adding an addition to an existing structure or doing a remodel to an existing structure, please keep the following in mind:
Plan for Safety
Follow these guidelines for safe planning:
- Make a detailed catalog of the planned work. Is it just a simple replacement of some electrical equipment within a wall? Or the replacement of the entire wall? All proposed work must be included in the permit or extra fees may be applied.
- Contact the Planning Departments Building Safety Division at 505-924-3320 or the Permit Counter at 505-924-3962 and confirm what types of permits are required to do the work planned.
- Work with a design or contractor who knows the New Mexico State Building Codes and will include all safety requirements into the project design.
Build for Safety
- Choose a contractor who is licensed with the New Mexico Licensing and Regulation Department and will do the project according to the safety requirements in the approved plans. (Please use the PSI License Search tool to confirm that a contractor's license is valid.)
- Use building products that are safe, durable, and comply with all applicable codes.
Inspect for Safety
Ensure that all permitted work has all inspections done. Work must remain accessible and exposed for inspection until approved by the inspector. The permit professional or homeowner must schedule the inspections. The project must remain safe and be completed in a timely manner
Building Codes
The various codes used to review, approve and inspect construction projects and existing buildings.
Energy Code Information
To streamline the review of the adopted energy codes, the Building Safety Division will now require a new energy code checklist. (See enclosed) The new form will require only the results of the energy calculations be submitted at time of application.
The applicant must provide basic demographics, the method of compliance, the software used to determine compliance, and indicate the heating and cooling BTU load. The calculations must be available if requested but will not be required for submittal.
This simplified checklist will allow the designer of the project to utilize any Department of Energy approved method to achieve compliance and affirm conformity with the adopted 2009 energy code. The intent of this process is to reduce the burden to the building industry without lessening adherence to the codes.

The word that I offer you is courage.
It comes from the French word for heart, and from now on, your heart will be bound not only to your mate, but also to the child your love has created.
It took courage for you to decide to bring a child into this confounding world. It took courage to choose pregnancy. It took courage for you to bring your pregnancy this far. Your heart beats now and passes that courage on to your child.
Your journey from here until your baby's entry into this world will take more courage than you may think you have. But I promise you that courage springs from your beating heart. Know it is there, waiting for you to summon it.
You are on the threshold of the greatest mystery of life, that edge between the other world and this one. You will never be so close to the edge as you are at the moment you give birth. Have courage and drink in the power of this great mystery.
When you labor, open your heart.
When you bring forth, open your heart.
As your child grows, open your heart.
When your child gives you grief, open your heart.
When this child grows to adulthood and leaves your home for another, open your heart.
For it is when we open our hearts that we have the greatest capacity for the courage to be human, to be women and to touch the goddess.
Blessings upon you

Talk radio network and syndicator appealing to "progressives"
aka liberals. When founded in 2004, it was said it would spread to about 600 radio stations (like Rush Limbaugh) but for the most part it has failed. Reasons include weak signals, the inability to feature local hosts, strident hosts who favor a political agenda over entertaining talk, and an anti- big business attitude that drives away advertisers. Some feel it shoots for the far left and drives away moderates or conservatives. Many Air America stations have changed to more profitable formats such as sports. Several petition drives have attempted to resurrect the format in cities such as Boston, Akron, New Haven, Dallas, and Sacramento. The only successful effort so far was a Madison station that decided against switching to sports. Some feel the Fairness Doctrine should be brought back to help liberal talk radio, but this is basically a gutting of freedom of the press. Conservatives feel talk radio should succeed on demand, talent, and the free market rather than through government force. Boston lost its two Air America stations due to low ratings
and low ad billing, which is shocking given the predominance of liberals and Democrats in the area. |

Soon to be bankrupt, liberal propaganda radio network, featuring talentless hacks suck as Al Franken and Randi Rhodes. "Only tin-foil hat wearing leftist conspiracy theorists take anything said on Air America seriously."

A liberal radio network trying to do on commercial radio what NPR (National Peoplesrepublic Radio) has been doing on the non-commercial end of the FM spectrum since the early 1970's. Ironically, "Air America" has also been the name of the CIA's (Central Intelligence Agency) private airline since 1959. "Is Air America still around?"

Rollins College students Michael Gallace (from left), Zach Zebrowski and Katherine Waddell star in "Anna in the Tropics" at Rollins College. (Rollins College / February 6, 2013) |
Rollins College has set out to make its production of "Anna in the Tropics" as much a community experience as a theatrical one.
Collaborations with a student association and Rollins professors, field trips to the play's setting of Ybor City and a partnership with a local film festival have raised the show's profile beyond the college's Annie Russell Theatre.
"One of the things you always do is to expand your community, make sure you're serving a large audience," said David Charles, the play's director and chairman of the theater department.
"Anna in the Tropics" is the perfect work for that mission, he said, not only because of its artistic merit but because of its Florida connections.
"It's a beautiful piece, a moving piece, a local piece," Charles said.
Nilo Cruz won a Pulitzer Prize for his play set in the Tampa neighborhood of Ybor City during the 1920s. Cuban immigrants there made a living working in the city's cigar-rolling plants. As was common in Cuba, a lector often read the workers stories while they toiled. In the play, a new lector reads Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina," which profoundly affects the lives of the workers, especially the factory's women.
To immerse his cast in the culture, Charles took the actors to Ybor City, where they learned to roll cigars and experienced Cuban dancing. It was educational for him, as well.
"I didn't know Ybor City was literally the cigar-making capital of the world. I had no idea," said Charles, a New Zealander who has lived in the U.S. for 10 years.
"I'm an immigrant so I really do relate to many of the themes of this play. Those themes spoke to me loudly as a director."
Among the play's themes is the push and pull of different culture, an idea that resonated with the multinational cast.
"Costa Ricans, Puerto Ricans, Thai, Greek," Charles says. "It's very cool to see that diversity in the casting."
A modern-languages professor had her class read the play in Spanish. Another professor talked to the cast about Cuban-American history. The college's Latin American Student Association will sponsor a Cuban-themed opening-night party.
Reaching off campus, the college partnered with the 9th Orlando Latin American Film and Heritage Festival, or OLA Fest, which runs Feb. 8-17. The festival website promotes the play; festival director Nelson Betancourt will speak at a special event at the theater.
"We want to place plays in our season that celebrate inclusivity," Charles said. "What a great way to use theater."

The NFL is looking into the post-game incident involving Packers safety Nick Collins at Solider Field. After the game, fans alledgedly taunted Collins with racially derogatory language and according to Collins, spit on him. Collins reportedly shouted back at the fans and threw his moutguard at them. The incident was captured on tape by a Milwaukee TV station. Head coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday evening he hadn't seen the tape but did discuss the incident with Collins and is standing by him "100 percent."
The Detroit Lions are next for the Packers and head coach Jim Schwartz told me this morning that Matthew Stafford is still not ready to return at quarterback. Stafford injured his throwing shoulder on opening day against the Bears and Schwartz said they want to be very careful to make sure he's completely healed before getting him back on the field. Running back Javid Best may also sit this week's game out with a turf toe injury. Despite an 0-3 record, Schwartz remains upbeat about his team which made several aggressive moves this off-season to bolster the roster. Drafting Ndomokung Suh of Nebraska in the first round, trading for ex-Packer Corey Williams and signing free agents Kyle Vandenbosch and Nate Burleson.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowhttp://www.granbyranch.com/colorado-skiing-snowboarding-ski-resorts.html At SolVista Basin at Granby Ranch, you can enjoy skiing the way it was in the '70s, perhaps even the '60s -- when you could park at the base of the hill, go to your car between runs to grab another sweater or ditch a layer, maybe even eat a sandwich. But while the feel at SolVista is laidback, all of the equipment is thoroughly up-to-date, and you won't be waiting in long lift lines like they did in the '70s. The slopes are all impeccably groomed, and the view from the top of the mountain offers a stunning look at the old ranching community of Granby and the valley beyond. Special bonus: night skiing and tubing on the weekends. More >>

PR Consultant Careers At Home
PR Consultant
In case you have a history in public relations and need to start your own work-from-home enterprise, you really should consider becoming a virtual public relations consultant.
A virtual PR consultant has all the same duties as a traditional public relations specialist, marketing and sales communications specialist or press specialist, including:
* Arranging promotions
* Event arranging
* Pr release writing and distribution
* Media associates
* Speaking engagements, preparation and co-coordinating
The only variation is that rather than heading to the workplace to be able to represent your company, you work at home for many clients and talk by means of email, telephone, chat, video conferencing and fax.
Based on the latest occupational data for 2010-2011, a public relations expert makes an regular salary of about $55,000.
As a virtual public relations adviser you can charge by the hour, by the service or perhaps by the package. The hourly fee runs from $50-$150.
Why Would An individual Use a Virtual Public Relations Consultant ?
Some great benefits of a digital PR consultant are many for a business. Rather than pay an employee a full salary plus benefits, instruction and schooling, they just pay you whenever they have to have your services. They will spend less. And also, your service fees are nearly guaranteed to be lower than if they hired a public relations company.
If you're interested in becoming a virtual pr expert, think about the pursuing measures to take:
Do a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats analysis – SWOT. Just what areas are you currently strong in, where are your weak points, what opportunities complement your talents and goals and what threats do you see to attaining your goals? For instance, a threat might be something as fundamental as significant competition in your niche or something much more challenging like a fear of public speaking. It'd be challenging to become public relations consultant if you are uncomfortable speaking to groups of individuals.
* As soon as you have completed your SWOT examination you'll have a good idea regarding where you stand. At this point it is time for you to establish where you would like to go. What exactly are your business goals? Who is your perfect customer? Exactly what are their difficulties and also how will you fix them?
* Produce your own business plan including how you are planning to market yourself. Ideally, once you start building your website you will also be compiling a collection of experiences, referrals and testimonials to your know-how.
* While assembling your business plan you are going to also have to check out the business demands in your area. Do you want insurance? Permits? Certification? Examine these items out, register your company and figure out how you're going to handle your money. For instance, do you have to have a business bank account?
* Network. As a public relations advisor, who you know is virtually as essential as what you know. Network both online and offline to create your business and make connections.
* Lastly, launch your company and enjoy the advantages of being self-employed.

There was an approximate total of 148 entries from three grade divisions: Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High. There was also one kindergarten entry. The purpose of the Science Fair is to allow a student to use his initiative and go beyond routine class work, while at the same time he is learning and communicating his knowledge to others. Only Junior and Senior High division projects were judged. Merit for projects was based on (1) scientific thinking shown in meeting the problems involved in the project, (2) creativity in the solution of problems and use of materials, and (3) presentation of the project in the final exhibit. Projects which received a gold seal are eligible for entry in the regional science fair in Austin on April 6-7. Twenty-eight projects received gold seals. About 1,500 people viewed the exhibits. A special exhibit was presented by the Speleology Club of John Marshall Senior High School. Mr. James Wignes, Physical Science and Chemistry instructor at the college planned the fair and acted as coordinator.

Tonight from 9-12 the Social Committee is putting on our first twister of 1962. The Varsity Club will sponsor the twister, with a short skit between intermission.

Miss Evans, Student Council adviser, feels that as the college enrollment continues to increase, the Student Council also assumes more responsibility to the students.

During last season Haven fans were talking, on here as well as on their own forum, of their lads playing etc. I queried it then as to what, if any, input Town had in to this project and I never got an answer.
Reading Gary Hewer in tonight's N & S it seems to me that Haven have laid claim to this team hook, line and sinker, as he talks about the staff time and money they have put in to it. All the good young players seem to end up there after playing in this team and I think it is time we, the fans, were told what the set-up really is.
No wonder Haven can run an Under 23 team if they are getting the pick of all the young players locally whilst we will have players sitting out, not getting games and getting more frustrated.
Does anyone have an answer?
