Who said there are no team huddles in golf?
The team concept ruled for Lutheran North, as coach Lori Gills girls rolled to a Division 4 regional championship at Stony Creek Metropark Wednesday.
The Mustangs shot a 376 to win the regional. Finishing in second was Bloomfield Hills Sacred Heart with 388. Third-place Ann Arbor Greenhills had a 395.
The top three teams advance to state tournament play Friday, Oct. 19, and Saturday, Oct. 20, at Forest Akers West in East Lansing.
It was actually a bit of a shocker that we won, said Gill, chuckling. But I knew we had a strong team with a lot of depth. We dont have an outstanding individual golfer who can shoot in the 70s or low 80s, but I knew if the girls came with their A game we could get to the state finals.
This is a group of girls who are very willing to listen. They are all team players with good rapport. They dont care if the number four girl is our top player on any given day. They all root for one another, continued the coach.
Lutheran Norths Samantha Banaszak shot an 88 to lead the Mustangs. Miranda Weatherly had a 93, Rachael Booth a 96 and Kelly Murdoch a 99.
This is Gills 18th year coaching the girls at Lutheran North, and fifth time a team has advanced to the state finals. She has also coached many golfers who played in the state meet as individual qualifiers.
Ironically, Lutheran North was the host of the regional meet. The original site was the Cracklewood Golf Club in Macomb, but some problems with the greens on the Mustangs home course necessitated the move to Stony Creek.
Cracklewood is so good to us, but the site was switched two weeks ago. The girls practiced once on the front nine at Stony Creek and once on the back nine. It was freezing cold today. It started to rain and got really windy toward the end of the day today. The conditions were brutal in my mind, and the girls deserve kudos, said Gill. Shooting a 376 is a very decent score anyway, but on a day like this it is outstanding.
Division 2
At Pontiac CC
It was another good showing for the Lakeview Huskies, who were 34 shots better than at last years regionals. The Huskies finished with 436 strokes this year, good for 10th place.

Every collection is an invitation to experience the excitement of travel, the rush of the adventure, and the exploration of world cultures through design, tecture, color and fragrance.
Always wash your cotton percale, cotton sateen and Egyptian cotton bedding in a separate load than your regular laundry, as zippers, hooks and buttons have a tendency to damage cotton linens. Take care to always use a gentle wash cycle with a cold temperature setting, and mild detergent. Quality, pH balanced detergents, such Tide, are recommended when laundering fine cotton linens. Chlorinated bleach is not recommended as it will damage quality cotton bedding fibers over time. If necessary, non-chlorinated bleach can be used with white and ivory cotton linens.

Soartex Fanver is the fan continuation of Soartex, a smooth 64x texture pack made by Soar49!
Install Optifine or MCPatcher for additional features.
The best Soartex Fanver textures for vanilla Minecraft!
Textures for over 100 mods, Feed the Beast packs and Tekkit Lite! All FTB packs can also be found in the FTB launcher.
Places additional textures into your texture pack for the mods you select.
Made using REDX36's Texture-Patcher.
Customize vanilla textures to your preference! 1.4.7 only.
Textures for older versions of Minecraft.
You make the textures for the next update! Post them in this thread or here.
Soartex Fanver is a smooth, detailed and clean texture pack (64x). In it's time it has come from a simple terrain-only texture pack to a fan-driven mass of mod support, customization, animation and originality. Fanver has become a very memorable and iconic suit for a lot of Miners out there, and to many, a personal favorite!
NOTE: As of Soartex 2.4.3, all glass CTM connects. I still prefer glass that doesn't become invisible, but glass that only connects with MCPatcher Better Glass has caused more problems than it was worth. Hopefully Optifine will add support for semitransparency soon!
Take a look at the original pack by the talented Soar49!
We used textures from DefScape when we were getting started. It is a great pack and definitely worth your time!
Please visit Quetzi! He streams with Zness @7PM-1AM GMT. He uses loads of mods and interacts with viewers. This is a great place to get started with tech mods.
If you're looking for a Tekkit Classic Server, take a look at Sector29. I'd like to see that server get off to a good start.

Central America Tours
- Ometepe Island (Nicaragua)
- Bay Islands (Honduras)
- Antigua (Guatemala)
- Bocas del Toro (Panama)
- Lake Atitlan/Panajachel (Guatemala)
- Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave (Belize)
- Havana (Cuba)

Diversity. The word sums up Central America travel. So geographically close to the frenzy of North America, yet a million miles away in culture and lifestyle, this small area changes colours as quickly as a chameleon.

That's fantastic that they raised that much money. Now that they've asked for the money, some undoubtedly from those that may not be able to spare much, how will they wisely use it??? PA Weekly, lets see that wonderful story!
Posted by Unbelievable, a resident of the College Terrace neighborhood, on Feb 20, 2013 at 2:26 pm
Considering how much money they raise and how much they get in donations, why do they cut services and continually raise tuitions?
Posted by Hmmm, a resident of East Palo Alto, on Feb 20, 2013 at 2:35 pm
It'd be great if they used some of those funds to educate student cyclists on bike safety, came up w/more parking & replaced the new trees/shrubs that reduce visibility on the roads. Mundane but important. Oh, & any more Chihulys to be donated?
Posted by jardins, a resident of the Midtown neighborhood, on Feb 20, 2013 at 5:09 pm
With that much money coming in from fundraising, why is Stanford becoming an aggressive off-campus developer?
For example, its plans for huge medical offices along El Camino in Menlo Park, its plans to get rent-income from the massive Arrillaga high-rises at 27 University Avenue, its building of single homes and high-end apartments on upper S. California Avenue (the Mayfield project, that will displace company employees to other cities).
How much money will Stanford ever be content with??
Posted by Stanford Applicant, a resident of the Old Palo Alto neighborhood, on Feb 21, 2013 at 4:48 am
They will always want more as long as they are sending $90 rejection letters.
It's mathematical induction. Once they show that they can raise $1, then they show that for any amount x, they can raise x+1.

Fear of dining Part 2
Hopefully, in the hiring process we weed out the totally inept, the snotty and supercilious, and those who have no regard for other human beings, let alone your valued guests.
Danny Meyer, owner of New York City's Union Square Cafe has is to add waitstaff the top of the pile." Applicants are asked to fill out a two-page application that requires a lot of writing. Meyer says he's looking for intelligent and articulate waitstaff who show a great deal of enthusiasm. Some applicants look through the lengthy application and just leave without filling it out. That's fine with Meyer; his screening process starts there. "I'm going to ask everybody to do a thorough job and a caring job," says Meyer, and filling out the questionnaire indicates that the applicant takes the job seriously. Meyer has modified the questionnaire since its inception, seeking to learn as much as possible about applicants before they are hired. Last year one of Meyer's waitstaff won a national essay contest about good service like the pick up girls.
Once restaurant management determines what personality they want their staff to communicate to guests, they can begin training towards that goal. This is not to suggest that waitstaff should be automatons, spewing the same speech-this approach has a very insincere ring to it. But, unless management sets out some behavioral guidelines, the staff will present a dizzying variety of personal styles to the guest-not all of them desirable.
In training staff to reduce the guest's intimidation factor, the trainer needs to realize that the waitperson may also be intimidated by the diningout process, and may act defensive and unpleasant to cover his own feelings of inadequacy.
The waiter who cannot easily and confidently open a bottle of wine probably tries very hard not to sell any wine. The waiter who can't coordinate the rhythm of service often neglects to sell dessert or espresso after dinner. Management must first determine that waitstaff has all the necessary technical skills before the issue of attitude can be addressed.
DRAMATIC. Short, frequent training sessions seem to garner better results than long, drawn-out marathons. Role playing is an excellent way to dramatize incidents without singling anyone out for criticism. Positive reinforcement always gives better results. Management that browbeats its staff during service cannot expect them to be pleasant and relaxed with guests if they've just gotten chewed out in the kitchen. Training sessions are a less stressful atmosphere in which to correct service errors than during a meal period, when tension is already high.
The more technical skills staff members possess, and the more knowledgeable they are about your menu, wine list, and cocktails, the more confidence they'll have and the easier it will be for them to adopt a natural, pleasant, but efficient attitude with guests. Because subtleties of behavior are difficult to communicate in a lecture format, ask your staff to relate a pleasant restaurant experience and to identify the contributing factors. Then ask them to discuss a negative experience and analyze it. Very often, waitstaff don't identify with the customer as another human being who's spending hard-earned money and expects to enjoy himself.
ON THE OTHER END. Many restaurants encourage their staff members to dine out at the competition. Often this may be beyond the waiter's salary, but dinner for two can be used as a prize in a sales incentive program or as a bonus. Waitstaff who dine out frequently are moreattuned to the niceties of good service because they've been on the receiving end. An annual company party at another restaurant can be used as a common point of discussion and turned into grist, for a future training session.

It got 4/5 from Total Film, and I generally trust their opinion a lot.
I've been re-watching all the Alien films in anticipation.
"Spit ya fluidest, Bitch..."
I'm so disappointed by this. It could have been so good but it was just a mess.
There were some amazing scenes though, and it at least looked good.
But still, huge disappointment. (Even after knowing about the mixed reviews).
I thought it was good. Not great, though. Mainly because the whole creationism (or intelligent design like they call it) vs evolutionism issue was so obvious (and American). But Noomi was great and the operation scene was classic "Alien"!
I'm waiting for the sequel now.
I'm going to have to wait a couple of weeks, but I noticed Empire gave it 3/5 and essentially said "looks great, awful script, poor characters". To be honest as long as the first one of those three holds up, I'm happy.
Replying with GIFs is like arguing with a tree - really boring.
Just got back from seeing this. Not a terrible film by any means, just not that good... And awfully generic. Not a patch on the first 2 Alien movies and lacking any original ideas or visuals. Most disappointing.
This is disappointing. I thought with such an amazing cast, writer and director this was a surefire classic. Or at least a temporary "This is brilliant and amazing oh wait not so much" classic a la Inception.
I hope it's at least tolerable when I see it.
And yes, the intelligent design vs. evolution argument is horribly American. Sometimes I wonder how this country can be so advanced in some ways and so horrifically archaic in others.
"Is there such a place as Indo-China?" - Nadine Coyle.
I enjoyed it, but it failed to live up to it's potential.
The opening scene is breathtaking, and there are similarly visually impressive scenes littered throughout the film, but there are some serious issues when it comes to the script and story. The main issue being that it provides more questions than answers. It doesn't work as a standalone film, so I hope it's not going to be a laborious wait for the sequel.
"Spit ya fluidest, Bitch..."
Avoid the 3D and save your money - it adds nothing decent.
The film looks amazing and was tense and scary at times, but it was just pointless. A long drawn out question and not the answer anyone really wanted. I was just hoping an alien would crop up and begin trimming the crew roster... C'est la vie.
Just got back from it and I loved it. Really didn't care that it didn't answer the questions it asked. It wasn't like the ending was 'that's your lot' - there's clearly more to come, and I'm looking forward to it. David was a brilliant character, and I hope we get to learn a bit more about him next time. Noomi Repace was a bit of a let down (Milla Jovovich might have been a better choice), and Guy Pearce is very attractive.
The only misstep for me was having Fassbender play the old guy, too. It was terrible make-up, and looked ridiculous compared to the fantastic CGI. A slightly cheesy script I can handle, but out-and-out ridiculous casting I cannot.
EDIT: I am a fool. I thought Fassbender was playing Peter Weyland, but it was Guy Pearce. Makes even less sense. And my 'very attractive' comment needs attributing to Logan Marshall Green rather than Pearce. Yum.

Anybody know what year the original Alien was set in?
I came away both disappointed and impressed with the film, if that makes any sense.
I was disappointed that it seemed to ask more questions, whilst never really answering any of the original questions it set out to answer. For example, why was there drawings all across Earth; the 'invitation' so to speak. It never explained why they were left there, and without ruining anything for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, the beings that made them surely hadn't of needed to put them there? Just get in one of your ships and fly there.
The acting was brilliant, aside from a few blunders with some non-characters. Would've been nice for them to flesh out the two guys who get killed first, instead of them being generic 'they're so dead' pawns. I liked Noomi and Charlize, and Micheal was of course brilliant, as he always is.
I can't help but wonder if the film was just one big metaphor though. Scott set out to make a film about answering the questions of our beginning and the morality of humanity going out to find our beginnings. Instead, we got a film that just asked even bigger questions of our existence, so nothing really came of it in the end. A parallel humanity's insatiable thirst to answer the biggest questions in the universe?
I'm about to drown in the ocean.
I thought it was good but having Guy Pearce play Mr Weyland was an awful idea. His old man make up was rubbish. Him and David were basically Burns and Smithers, weren't they?
Also, the evolution of the alien life form is ridiculously complicated.
Ink blot worm things are kept in Thermos flasks, if they come into contact with some other wormy things that already live in the ground they turn into penis monsters, which shove themselves down your throat and possess you and make you crawl around with your legs draped over your shoulders. Alternatively if you ingest some of the ink blot stuff and have sex with someone they will shortly give birth to a starfish jellyfish facehugger thing with several vaginas which then grows massive and lays it's eggs in your throat and causes a wonky-looking Xenomorph to burst out of your chest. OK...
I wish they'd filmed the sequel with this back-to-back. If they leave it too long it could be rubbish.
I don't think it was quite as complicated as that: the containers had only the black goo in them, which transformed living creatures into more vicious shit. When exposed to it, the worms became aggressive penises, and that tattooed bloke became a fire-resistant fucker-up of shit.
Sixty-nine is the only dinner for two.
That makes more sense. Just a bit, though.
Logan Marshall-Green is a fucking beast of a man. He looks chiseled out of marble.
He's my sun; he makes me shine like diamonds.
SPOILER ALERT for those who haven't seen the movie yet, but why did David infect the hot guy?
I presume it was because he's just a robot. Weyland told him he needed to do better to find 'the makers' and I presume David thought by any means necessary. He wasn't aware what that would do and well, he's a robot with no conscience.
That's my guess anyway. A lot of actions weren't really explained.
I'm about to drown in the ocean.
I think the demise of Meredith vickers was a huge mistake.
Also I'd have rather had one three hour epic than have this delivered in 2/3 parts (if a second part even gets done by Scott - has he confirmed a sequel?) I think we waited long enough for this to just be handed more questions. I feel slightly cheated but I did still love it. Too many characters tho. There was no room for background distraction For multiple characters with two r three lines. I'd have rather gotten more depth to the main characters
What's all this about?
I really think I did myself a favor by reminding myself on the way to the theater that Damon Lindelof wrote the script; six seasons of LOST really prepared me for open endings. (And ambiguous character development, odd plot developments, and people doing nonsensical things when in peril.)
Ok, first, I had no problem with Noomi. I thought she was a great heroine, both nimble and strong, and she tackled the absurdities of the script with a real fervor. Oh, she's just had a cesarean, and now she's running for her life! And jumping! And carrying an axe like she stumpled on to the set of the new Halloween movie! It was ridiculous, but I went with it because Noomi seems so invested.
I didn't like the killing of Vickers either, especially considering she seems like the type who would figure out if she ran to the left instead of straight forward, she would avoid getting smashed to smithereens by the giant alien ship. Between this film and Young Adult, I'm afraid if I ever run into Charlize I'm just going to wilt in fear of her tearing me down with a single ice-cold stare.
Noomi's boyfriend was annoying - can't say I was upset to see him go, but the question remains, why did David poison him? The ambivalent nature of David is baffling - we are told many times he cannot feel emotion, but his actions strongly suggest otherwise, especially his survival instinct, which is how he seems to relate to Shaw.
The creationist theology was really muddled, but then, I expected as much. I suppose if answers had been provided it would have been a great film rather than an enjoyable romp (and I do think it was fun - I'm shocked to see comments on other forums from people who say they were bored) and the enduring images of Noomi getting the cesarean and Fassbender discovering the map on the ship do feel like a real "blockbuster" moments to me.
Meet your new stepmom, kid.
Saw it today, thought it was great. Then this article made it greater:
http://cavalorn.livejournal.com/584135.html (a long read, but worth it).
If you can't be bothered to read it then, essentially, it's all about the Bible. Jesus was an Engineer, we killed him, so they wanted to kill us.
Replying with GIFs is like arguing with a tree - really boring.
I hated this movie. It was so frustrating to watch from the c-section and on. Nothing made sense and the characters were just running around while odd events happened to them. A complete disappointment. We need a prequel and a sequel to understand what was going on.
Fassbender did an amazing job. Completely creepy and for once his ugliness improved the movie as opposed to distracting me like other films I have seen him in.

Continental Partners: Continental Tires
What is the one thing that you do not want to worry about when you are descending at 50 miles per hour, or trusting your lean on a gravel road in the middle of nowhere? Your tires.
Last month the Rapha Continental toiled their way up and over the Rocky Mountains as they rode Ride the Rockies, spending long days on the bike. Even with the hundreds of miles that they put in going up and over the mountain passes, they still found the time to sample a few sections of gravel, with one being 60 miles long that dropped them into Pagosa Springs.
Rapha Continental partner, Continental Bicycle Tires and Brand Manager Brett Hahn were on hand at Ride the Rockies and was happy to hear that after a collective run of 580+ miles the 6 Continental riders came away with one flat.
The Rapha Continental has been working with Continental Tires since its inception four years ago. The name of the two worked well, but the choice was obvious because of the popularity of the Gatorskins and their near flatproof reputation. Yet, with their new Gator Hardshell Continental has upped the ante. In the past few weeks we have ridden hundreds of collective miles between the 2010 Rapha Gentlemen's Race West Coast and this past weekend at the Deerfield Dirt Randoneé in Western Massachusetts.

Dozens of offenders may not make up a typical grounds crew, but for Brian Sewell, cleaning up the Bethany Cemetery in East Austin is an alternative to probation.
"I got caught drinking at the wrong time and learned my lesson," he said.
Under close watch by Travis County Sheriffs' deputies, nearly 100 low-level offenders helped maintain the grounds of the historic graveyard Sunday.
The Bethany Cemetery was created at the turn of the 19th century to house the bodies of African Americans. The space was created when the Oak Wood burial ground ran out of space.
Dale Flatt and the nonprofit Save Austin Austin's Cemeteries works to preserve the historic grounds.
"Some of the people that were out here were most likely were slaves at sometime and were freed during the emancipation, then they passed away," Flatt said.
Keeping the graves maintained over the years has not been easy. It takes preserving craftsmanship as well as updating historical records--facts that can give insight into how people lived and died.
"This is considered an orphaned piece of property. There is no true owner for the cemetery anymore. It was established in the late 1800s and over time, when it filled u,p the board of directors basically dissolved," Flatt said.
Flatt said he will take all the help he can get, no matter how the volunteers got there.
"At least we are paying some respect to the dead and cleaning up an area of Austin that needs to be cleaned up," Sewell said.
Save Austin's Cemeteries was established in 2004. Since then, its members have helped to preserve five burial grounds across the city.

text: Lady Bulldogs drop two By Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch The Douglas Lady Bulldogs soccer team suffered back to back losses last week. The Lady Bulldogs began the week losing 4-0 to Empire at Douglas High School. Empire led 1-0 at the half scoring on a defensive breakdown by the Lady Bulldogs. Douglas coaches made some adjustments at half time but were unable to connect on any goals the second half while Empire tacked on three more. 'ÄúIt just wasn'Äôt our night,'Äù Douglas'Äô Coach Mario Romero said. 'ÄúWe defeated ourselves. We had too many breakdowns defensively. We were getting beat to the ball; we out shot them 16-13.'Äù Amanda Teran had 7 saves at goalie while Kianna Ross , Erika Romero and Victoria Morales all played well attacking the ball, the coach said. On Thursday, Dec. 13 the Lady Bulldogs were in Tucson facing Palo Verde, the No. 1 ranked team in preseason. Douglas would end up losing that game 4-1. 'ÄúWe played a very well game against the pre-season No. 1 ranked Palo Verde,'Äù Coach Romero said. 'ÄúWe did some things defensively that worked. We looked much better than we did against Empire. The girls were ready and had a lot of confidence going into this match.'Äù Palo Verde led 1-0 at the half then scored a goal early in the second half going up 2-0. Erika Romero found the back of the net in the 53rd minute to close the gap to 2-1. Palo Verde countered with two more goals taking a 4-1 lead. 'ÄúThey came on strong and never let up,'Äù Coach Romero said. 'ÄúThe girls played aggressive and moved the ball well the whole night. I was pleased with everyone'Äôs performance 'Ä- that'Äôs all I can ask for. Hopefully this is a momentum builder for the team, knowing that they could play with the best. It was a great team effort. The Lady Bulldogs are back in Tucson this week playing in the Palo Verde tournament Dec. 19-22. |

Akers, defender Smith answer questions key to 49ers' success
Kicker came through in clutch against Green Bay
Published: Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 11:04 p.m.
SAN FRANCISCO — Two topics dominated the week leading up to the 49ers' NFC divisional playoff game against Green Bay: Who would do the placekicking for San Francisco? And would Justin Smith be able to answer the bell.
Jim Harbaugh settled the first issue by sticking with David Akers, a decision he announced Thursday.
Question No. 2 wasn't answered until Saturday, when Smith gutted out a long and productive game. The defensive lineman was on the field for virtually the entire evening, his left arm in a futuristic brace to prevent his torn triceps (muscle? tendon? will we ever know?) from being further damaged.
"From my eye, looked like he was stout against the run," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "And his legend grows."
Smith finished with five tackles, most of any defensive lineman on either team. Predictably, he downplayed his impact afterward.
"I'm just glad to be a part of this team and get a chance to play in the NFC championship game," he said.
Taming Goldilocks
Linebacker Clay Matthews is the rock star of the Packers defense, not so much for his flowing blonde locks but for earning four Pro Bowl berths in four NFL seasons. He's a dynamic pass rusher, and he did have one sack of Colin Kaepernick on Saturday. But Matthews did not have a high-impact game, and the credit goes to 49ers left tackle Joe Staley, who faced Matthews just about all night and did a stellar job.
"Yeah, I was pretty happy with the way I played tonight," Staley said. "I knew going in he was gonna be a great challenge. He's given a lot of tackles fits this whole season, and he's a phenomenal player. So I was really challenged by the coaching staff and by our players, and I knew I was gonna have to have a big game for us to be successful."
Matthews' sack was the only one the Packers had on Saturday.
"I thought protection was very good," Harbaugh said. "Colin had a chance to go through his reads, set his feet and fire the ball. Consistently, good protection all day."
Double dose of Harbaugh
On Jan. 22, 2012, both Harbaugh brothers were saddled with crushing playoff defeats. Jim's 49ers fell in overtime to the Giants just a few hours after John's Baltimore Ravens lost to New England on Billy Cundiff's missed field goal with time running out.
Saturday was a much happier day for the clan. The Ravens edged the Broncos in double overtime after staging a comeback before the 49ers ran the Packers off the field.
Jim Harbaugh said he learned of his brother's victory sometime in the first quarter.
"Congratulations to John and the Ravens," he said. "That was a real football fight. I had the chance to watch some of it before our game. Feel great for John and his team."
Extra points
Kickoff was pushed back to 5:25 p.m. when the Ravens tied the score late in regulation in their game at Denver.
Michael Vick and Roger Craig both lost records to Kaepernick on Saturday. Vick held the NFL mark for yards rushing by a quarterback in any game, with 173 against the Vikings on Dec. 1, 2002. Craig held the 49ers record for rushing yards in a postseason game, with 135 versus the Vikings on Jan. 1, 1989. ... Harbaugh elected to receive the ball after winning the pregame coin toss — a departure for the coach, who normally prefers to defer his choice to the second half. The move fooled Akers, who started to take the field for the kickoff before retreating to the sidelines.

Fifth Annual Social Media Workshop Planned for Fall
Yaffe Center Publications
Book released from 2009 Yaffe Center Conference:
Leveraging Consumer Psychology for Effective Health Communications: The
Obesity Challenge
Edited by: Rajeev Batra; Punam Anand Keller; Victor J. Strecher
Published in January
2011 by
M.E. Sharpe
This book brings together the contributions of leading research scholars in communications, consumer behavior, marketing, psychology, and public health, who met in Ann Arbor in May 2009 to share and debate ideas on how their research might be used to improve the effectiveness of obesity-fighting messages and interventions. The conference that led to this book, on "Leveraging Consumer Psychology for Effective Health Communications: The Obesity Challenge," was organized by the Yaffe Center, since one of the goals of the Yaffe Center is the facilitation and dissemination of multidisciplinary research on persuasion-relevant topics, and crafting effective messages and interventions to fight obesity seemed like a very worthwhile goal. The conference was held under the aegis of the Society for Consumer Psychology. The lead sponsor for the conference was the National Center for Health Marketing and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in collaboration with the National Public Health Information Coalition (NPHIC). The conference was cosponsored by the Yaffe Center for Persuasive Communication, the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, the University of Michigan School of Public Health, and Johnson & Johnson. Additional sponsorship support was provided by the Association for Consumer Research.
More Information on the PublicationAbout the Yaffe Center
The Yaffe Center, founded at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business by advertising agency founder Fred Yaffe, is dedicated to the research, teaching, and discussion of persuasive communication.
We see rapid changes in how communications are delivered and how consumers process them. Emerging digital media play a larger role, and message today are increasingly visual and nonlinear. And persuasion frequently cuts across disciplines and requires study with silos.
Therefore, the Center is focusing on four major areas this year:
- The use of digital media.
- The effectiveness of new media.
- The study of style and design as persuasive tools.
- Interdisciplinary examples of successful persuasion.
