MONTREAL -- Quebec boxer Adonis Stevenson will fight yet another different opponent when he enters the ring next month for a shot at the IBF super-middleweight title.
Promoter Yvon Michel announced Monday that Donovan George (22-2-1, 19 KOs) will face Stevenson (18-1, 15 KOs), a native of Longueuil, Que. in an elimination bout at the Bell Centre on Aug. 11.
The winner of the fight is expected to get a world IBF super middleweight title bout in the future. The title is currently held by Carl Froch, who defeated Montrealer Lucian Bute on May 26 to become champion.
Finding an opponent for Stevenson, 34, has been complicated. George is the third opponent set to face Stevenson. Two have withdrawn and many others have simply declined to fight him.
Most recently, Stevenson had been set to face off against Andre Dirrell before he dropped out on Monday. George, a 27-year-old native of Chicago, got the call from the International Boxing Federation as his replacement.
Michel, president of GYM promotions and Stevenson's promoter, said he tried to negotiate with Leonard Ellerbe, Dirrell's promoter, but could not come to an agreement after word the fighter from Flint, Mich., would no longer face Stevenson.
The IBF then proposed George, who accepted less than 30 minutes after being contacted by the federation. GYM expects to receive a contract signed by George on Tuesday.
Several boxers have refused to fight the formidable striker, including Kelly Pavlik and Sakio Bika.
In the case of Bika and Dirrell, both boxers agreed to fight Stevenson and then later backed out after negotiations has started.
The IBF sanctioned both boxers for their cavalier methods by excluding them from the latest rankings, in which George ranks 11th. Stevenson is currently ranked 2nd.
The elimination bout will be on the undercard with a main event for the IBF light heavyweight championship bout pitting Quebecer Jean Pascal against champion Tavoris Cloud.
Cloud, 30, who hails from Tallahassee, Fla., is undefeated (24-0, 19 KOs), while Pascal, 29, has a record of 26-2-1, including 16 KOs.
Cloud will be making the fifth defence of the then-vacant 175-pound title he won in a 12-round unanimous decision over Clinton Woods in August 2009.
Pascal, meanwhile, will get a crack at another world title. He is a former WBC world light heavyweight champion who lost the crown to Bernard Hopkins in May 2011.

Kerry Mitchell's impressive career in magazine publishing has often been controversial, especially because of her alleged tendency to dabble in editorial. But the higher she gets at Rogers Publishing, the more questions crop up—about her plans for her publications, and the company's plans for her
Wherever Kerry Mitchell goes, tales of an interfering publisher follow. There are judgments: incessant micromanagement, a hungry ambition and a cool demeanour. There are whispers: former Chatelaine editor-in-chief Sara Angel allegedly threw furniture at her after one too many fights over editorial control. There is vitriol: some people can't stand her, plain and simple—though they'd never say it publicly. And the latest rumour: she's crossed Rogers Publishing leading man Ken Whyte, a feat that could herald the end of the Mitchell regime.
Loved by some and feared by many, Mitchell is a rapidly rising star in magazine publishing. Her voracious quest to find something more, something better, something, perhaps, unreachable has affected every publication she's worked for. And not just in atmosphere. Mitchell has tentacles in all aspects of her magazines. Industry rumours even accuse her of dabbling in display writing—angering editors as a result.
Her involvement may seem intrusive to some of her underlings, but it's no longer an anomaly in publisher-editor relationships. "Hands-on" is the new "removed overseer." While there are no "maybes" about Mitchell—those who have worked under her either extol or despise her—her successes don't lie. Though it may seem she's just in it for herself, her profit-turning prowess has made her popular with the higher-ups.
Mitchell has been in the magazine industry for over 20 years. Once a researcher at Chatelaine, she started taking the reins in the mid-1990s. An executive with publishing house Key's Where International from 1992 to 1995 before joining Telemedia, Mitchell became publisher of Equinox, founding publisher of Style at Home and publisher of Canadian Living. She left Telemedia in 2000, shortly after Transcontinental bought the company, and then joined Rogers in 2002, becoming the publisher of Profit until 2004. Later that year, she added the publisher job at Chatelaine to her resume.
She hasn't relied just on her pumps to take her to new heights. Mitchell and Whyte now run the show over at Rogers. Several publishers have left, quietly surrendering or "retiring." Former Flare publisher Orietta Minatel was ousted when Mitchell took over that magazine (along with Glow and Cosmetics) in June 2009. Today's Parent publisher Ildiko Marshall has also left the building.
Mitchell has collected magazines much as Whyte amassed titles. He became publisher of Canadian Business, Profit and MoneySense, along with his posts as publisher and editor-in-chief at Maclean's. Some observers, such as David Swick, instructor of journalism ethics at University of King's College in Halifax, are wary of their abilities to juggle their growing dominions. As he said in an e-mail, "Fractured energy naturally means less energy for each individual focus."
As the industry evolves, the presence of the micromanaging publisher becomes more familiar and resistance is (somewhat) subdued. In days of old, publishers and editors respected the "church and state" divide—publishers stuck to business and editors to content. But for better or worse, that chasm is closing, and publishers such as Mitchell are at the forefront. "Kerry tends to be less 'church and state,'" says Dré Dee, who worked with her as a senior features editor at Chatelaine. "It's not the old days anymore when it comes to women's books." Indeed, Mitchell had her hands in every aspect of the publication, down to asking editors to change the colour of cover text.
Lee Oliver also had an issue with her changing text, but what sticks out in his mind was a call for a change at the end of a production cycle. Oliver, who was senior editor at Profit from 2003 to 2004, says the team took a copy of the finished magazine to Mitchell as a courtesy. But she didn't like the cover—the shade of blue text was off, and she wanted it changed. Some staff members traded frustrated glances. And then they did as they were told.
Such incidents didn't always bring out Mitchell's cordial side. "I wouldn't characterize her as an openly warm or friendly person," says Dee, before qualifying, "but I wouldn't expect that of a publisher."
Others weren't so quick to concede—notably Kim Pittaway, who quit the editor-in-chief position at Chatelaine in 2005 after less than a year. There'd been "a fundamental disagreement about which areas of responsibility were mine and which were the publisher's," The Globe and Mail quoted Pittaway at the time. "The publisher told me my opinion was important, but hers was very, very important." Mitchell wanted lively covers to boost newsstand sales. So, copies of Marie Claire, Good Housekeeping and O started appearing during story meetings to serve as examples. Next came a consultant, hired in August 2005 to suggest further changes. Soon after, Pittaway went on vacation, returning only to collect her things. And that's when Chatelaine's revolving door started spinning.
"Editor-publisher conflict can create a better product," says Swick. "That is if they actually listen to and learn from one another. When the relationship is based on power and fear, no one wins—especially the reader."
Since Mitchell took over the magazine in 2004, there have been four editors-in-chief, and about 15 other staffers have left—movement that can be attributed to "poor hires and mistreatment" in Dee's view. Still, Chatelaine flourished in the second half of 2005. Readership surged by nine percent and Mitchell survived all the chaos. The magazine embraced new ways of approaching advertising. Models started appearing on covers again, replacing mouth-watering food spreads. Another change was more shocking: the July 2005 issue included a 16-page "bonus section" on outdoor living, clearly branded with Home Depot and Chatelaine logos. It was a throw to the section on the front cover, though, that caused the Canadian Society of Magazine Editors to slam the edition for too radically blurring the line between advertising and editorial.
And yet the magazine is still successful, raking in an estimated $56.5 million in 2008 under Mitchell's leadership, despite the ever-changing masthead.
But can it last? "Whatever's happening there, the symptoms are clear," says Paul Benedetti, program coordinator of the Master of Arts in Journalism Program at the University of Western Ontario. "If you hire talented, smart, experienced people to run your magazine, you have to let them run it. The more you meddle, the more you run the risk of losing your editor or derailing your magazine."
He believes a healthy publication has the right people serving specific interests. That means publishers working with advertisers, and editors writing to readers. But recent trends reflect more publishers picking fonts, and when they can't tell Arial from other sans serifs, the results aren't pretty. The content suffers when "the wrong person is creating the wrong content for the wrong audience," Benedetti says. "The publisher still sees the advertiser as the customer, and that's wrong."
Still, some observers think the shift is inevitable. "Shrinking revenue probably has a lot to do with it," says Mark Hamilton, a journalism instructor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia. "As finances get tighter, the editorial job gets trickier and the whole newsroom goes into survival mode." But Hamilton doesn't think the greater editorial role played by some publishers is necessarily a bad thing, "as long as there's a willingness to listen and communicate."
Mitchell can play that role, too. Lise Ravary, editorial director of women's titles and new magazine brands at Rogers Publishing, says, "Kerry is very, very open. She loves to surround herself with people who will argue with her. She respects that." But in the end, Mitchell makes up her mind and the debate is finished. "That," says Ravary, "is what a good manager does."
When Mitchell was publisher and ad director of Profit, she reported to Deborah Rosser, who was publisher of Canadian Business, and the two had a professional, respectful relationship. "Kerry helped improve the profitability of the publication," says Rosser. "She's very smart, focused, knows what she wants and goes for it."
And she wasn't going to settle, whether she was dealing with copy or her own career. When Rosser hired her, she knew Mitchell, who was experienced and overqualified, would soon want bigger and better things. "I told her, 'I want two years from you.'" She got a year-and-a-half. Oliver also sensed her restlessness. "Maybe I'm a big baby, but her head always seemed somewhere further in the game," he says. "She always seemed to be thinking three steps ahead. She wasn't that engaged with her staff." To him, Mitchell's year-and-a-half was clearly just a stepping stone.
In spite of her supposed transgressions, Mitchell has her allies. Ian Portsmouth, long-time editor-in-chief at Profit, says, "I loved working with her. I was very sad when she left; I was the first person she called." The pair still meets for coffee, and Portsmouth has fond memories of their time working together. "Her door was literally always open."
Craig Offman, too, who worked under Mitchell as an executive editor at Chatelaine in 2006, said she was always warm with him. She remembered his kids' names, and even threw a party for him at the Drake Hotel in Toronto when he left. "Which was nice," he says, "because she always adhered to a strict budget. It shows the kind of person she was with me." Offman didn't face the same sort of power struggles with Mitchell as Pittaway did. "I went there with an understanding that I was helping out," he says. "I had no desire to be editor-in-chief."
Mitchell's manner hasn't always curried favour with her staff. "When at a function, you'd see people break into groups," says Oliver. "And you'd see people like Kerry who gravitate towards CEOs and power brokers over the editors." The workplace wasn't much different: she'd walk by him and act like he wasn't even there. "She did not have a lot of words to say," notes Dee, "and when she did, they were in CEO-speak."
The way she carries herself has tended to isolate her in the past. A former Telemedia employee fondly recalls how much the team socialized, but "Kerry definitely didn't fit in," he says. Perhaps that's what she wants, though—to maintain a distance from those working under her.
That same effort to ensure separation does not extend to her "church and state" philosophy when it comes to magazines. "She was not afraid to wade into matters editorial," according to an e-mail from Janice McLean, who was art director at Equinox. "That quality didn't (and doesn't) distinguish her from many other male publishers of that era and this one. It may have left a little metaphorical blood on the office floor, but that's not uncommon either."
Though Mitchell's bouts with editor Jim Cormier were legendary, Alan Morantz, another former editor at Equinox, likes her. When the magazine sold, he was the only staff member to stay on, moving up to editor-in-chief. Mitchell mailed him a letter "out of the blue," wishing him well. "She didn't have to do that," he says. Morantz admits he wasn't privy to the day-to-day tensions at Equinox, though he heard about the fights, which neither he nor anyone from the defunct magazine will recount. He admits, however, that he can see how others might perceive her as frosty.
Like her or not, little of Mitchell's personality creeps out from the cloaked image she presents in the workplace. Some find that professionalism admirable and respect it. Others are just dying for a sense of the real person, who refused to speak to the Ryerson Review of Journalism. Ken Whyte also did not respond to interview requests.
But her rising star status is now in question. Ask one person and she's planted her feet. Ask another and she's battling Whyte for a top spot at Rogers, allegedly made vacant by senior vice-president of consumer publishing Marc Blondeau's departure last fall. Maybe she's being groomed, or maybe it's only a matter of time until someone pulls the chair out from under her, too. It's hard to tell if hers is a situation that is truly unknowable, or if those around her are simply hedging their bets.
And as for the staff at One Mount Pleasant? The ground continues to tremble with ferocity. In early March, six more Chatelaine employees were shooed out of the glass building, this after editor-in-chief Maryam Sanati was fired to pave the way for Jane Francisco back in December 2009. This led to plenty of rumours, of course, but here's a fact: Mitchell is missing from the magazine's most recent masthead. In her place? Ken Whyte.

Paul Mitchell joined UCL as Professor of Laws in 2010, and has previously taught at King's College London, Queen Mary University of London, and Oxford University.
Paul's main research interests are the law of tort, contract and unjust enrichment. Much of his work is historical, exploring how and why the law developed to its present form. He is also interested in Roman law and the history of legal education. His current research projects include co-authoring the eighth edition of Goff and Jones on the Law of Restitution (with Charles Mitchell, also UCL), and writing an essay on Penn v Lord Baltimore for a conference on Landmark Cases in Equity (to be held at UCL in April 2011). His longer term research project is a monograph on the history of the law of tort from 1900 to 1950.

Southern Bell Telephone Company Building, Atlanta, GA
by Wendy Darling
Looking up at 51 Peachtree Center Avenue, formerly/formally known as the Southern Bell Telephone Company Building.
From a page I found called "Atlanta Telephone History":
51 Ivy Street (today known as Peachtree Center Avenue)
This is a beautiful Art Deco Style building similar to those built in New York and Chicago during this period. Over its lifetime, it has contained the most interesting array of equipment in the city.
Construction started in 1929. The building was originally designed to have 21 floors. But it was only built with 6 floors. When the building opened in 1930, several newspaper articles were written about its technologically advanced features and environmental features.
The initial purpose of the building was to house a new Toll Board for Atlanta. Atlanta had become an important toll center for the Southeast and Long Distance traffic was increasing. The building also housed offices of Southern Bell and AT&T.
Previously posted pics of this building here.

Josh Turner lives in the country outside of Nashville with his wife Jennifer and their three sons. The rural area reminds Josh a little bit of his home state of South Carolina. "It's about as close as I'm gonna come in Tennessee," Josh tells ABC News Radio. "I love Tennessee, but they don't have the pine trees and the sandy soil and the black water that I grew up around."
Having a lot of land is a real treat for Josh's three young boys, all under the age of six. He says, "When they get outside they're just completely different people. They just love being outside, so it's great there with them. I get to spend a lot of time with them."
Raising three boys can be a bit tiring at times. "They're lively and energetic," Josh admits. "We don't get a lot of rest when they're awake."
Josh sings about making time for his wife Jennifer in his new single, "Time Is Love." It's the first single from Josh's new album, due out in the coming months.

Simple pulmonary eosinophilia
Simple pulmonary eosinophilia is inflammation of the lungs associated with an increase in eosinophils, a type of white blood cell.
Alternative Names
Pulmonary infiltrates with eosinophilia; Loeffler syndrome
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Most cases of simple pulmonary eosinophilia are due to an allergic reaction, either from a drug, such as sulfonamide, or infection with a fungus or parasite, including Ascaris lumbricoides.
- Chest pain
- Dry cough
- Fever
- General ill feeling
- Rapid respiratory rate
- Rash
- Shortness of breath
- Wheezing
The symptoms can range from none at all to severe. They may go away without treatment.
Signs and tests
The health care provider will listen to your chest with a stethoscope. Crackle-like sounds called rales may be heard. Rales suggest inflammation of the lung tissue.
A blood count test shows increased white blood cells, particularly eosinophils.
Chest x-ray usually shows abnormal shadows called infiltrates. They may disappear with time or reappear in different areas of the lung.
A bronchoscopy with washing may show a large number of eosinophils.
Gastric lavage may show signs of the ascaris worm.
If you are allergic to a drug, the doctor may have you stop taking it. (But, never stop a medication without consulting with your doctor first.)
If the condition is due to an infection, you may be treated with an antibiotic or anti-parasitic medication.
Sometime, corticosteroids (powerful anti-inflammatory medicines) may be needed.
Expectations (prognosis)
The disease often goes away without treatment. If treatment is needed, the response is usually good. However, relapses can occur (the disease comes back).
A rare complication of simple pulmonary eosinophilia is a severe type of pneumonia called acute idiopathic eosinophilic pneumonia.
Calling your health care providerSee your health care provider if you have symptoms that may be linked with this disorder.
PreventionThis is a rare disorder. Many times, the cause cannot be found. Minimizing exposure to possible risk factors (certain medicines, some metals) may reduce risk.

LILBURN -- Brakes weren't applied in a fiery crash on Tuesday where a Norcross woman crashed into a pole traveling at about 70 mph, police said.
Lilburn Police said on Friday that driver error was the cause of a fatal one-car accident at the intersection of U.S. Highway 29 and Indian Trail-Lilburn Road. One witness said flames started less than 10 seconds after the 2000 Ford Explorer hit the pole, according to an accident report. The officer also noted that there were no skid marks at the scene.
Larrie Elatrice Wilkerson, 61, of Norcross drove the red SUV into a pole at about 4 p.m. traveling southbound. Wilkerson died on impact before the vehicle was engulfed in flames, according to the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner's Office.
The fire was caused by a ruptured gas tank and the fire couldn't be extinguished with a fire extinguisher. An officer wrote that the body was severely burned and he, "could not tell by looking if it was male or female."
Contacted by police, Wilkerson's brother in California said Wilkerson moved to Georgia about a year ago.

I have been anxiously anticipating a round of stomach virus to hit our house based on what my friends from our school and other schools in the metro area are reporting on Facebook.
Much like the local weatherman, the status reports on Facebook tell parents what viruses are in the area and which ones of their friends' kids they should be currently avoiding.
My neighbor told me this morning at the bus stop that her son had been throwing up all night. She's not on Facebook so she didn't know it's been all the buzz.
I told her all my friends on Facebook have been reporting that their kids have it.
How long does it last she asked? Does it have a fever?
I told her no one had written anything about a fever, just that it lasts for days and was passing from child to child. Also told her to be careful with dehydration. One of our friends reported a hospital visit for IVs because her child had become so dehydrated.
I posted yesterday that Theresa Walsh Giarrusso "is baby with strep."
And friends chimed in that strep was going around their area too. (Walsh had it last week. So it's going around our house for sure.)
Besides sharing symptoms and diagnosis on Facebook, parents offer each other lots of condolences and support. Lots of "hang in theres" and with the throw-up virus, lots of "that's disgusting" or "poor (fill-in name of parent here.)" It's like a large 3-way call with your buddies when you're covered in puke or diarrhea.
Facebook isn't just useful for diagnosing illness and getting cyber-pats-on-the-back for dealing with them, it's also great for baby advice. I participated last week in a discussion with a high school friend and many of her current friends as she was contemplating Ferberizing her baby. The messages were heated as that topic always seems to ignite a fury.
Another friend was trying to determine why her baby wasn't sleeping. Way too many friends advising to dope the baby with Benadryl as far as I'm concerned.
Another high school friend was looking for dietary advice — what's a normal amount for a kid to eat. She was marveling at the tape worms in her kids' bellies. (All agreed must be growth spurts.)
Another friend was just trying to figure out what to say to her child that called her the "maid" this week.
Do you find Facebook useful in figuring out which illnesses will be coming to a home near you? Do you use it to get a cyber-pat-on-the-back when facing tough parenting times? Do you ever use it to help solve your parenting dilemmas? Do you weigh in with parenting advice for those who ask? ( You know I do!)

I love love love love FB when it comes to things like that! It is so nice to get some support from people who have been there and done that, and even better when they can offer you advice when your brain is too weary!
Its also alot of fun to hear all the funny comments and things that other peoples kids do! ALOT of my friends are more experienced parents, having raised several children into adulthood without killing a single one, so I know they get a kick out of hearing about what I'm going through- but are so invaluable!!!
I've been hearing ALOT about the flu going around too, and I'm just hoping its a Public School germie… That would NOT be fun with my preschooler!

No Facebook for me. I am older than dirt…LOL.
When I started getting too many random e-mails that contain jokes, pictures and pass alongs…I knew Facebook would be too much. Some folks send to everyone on their list!
I LOVE to meet the people I work with each week, I just do not have time to keep up with 1000 or more. I have now trained over 100,000 teachers and it has been fun but I do not have time to chat with all of them on Facebook or even 1 %….LOL. Love meeting new folks but cannot keep in touch with that many.
Hope your kids are on the mend T. I saw 6 robins yesterday and now, since the groundhog has not seen his shadow…SPRING IS ON IT'S WAY TO ATLANTA….HAHAHA!

I still prefer face-to-face communication – I rather meet with a friend to discuss complex situations than write about them. As for illnesses – i do not want to know who is sick or not simply because i cannot do anything about it. There is always a bed, a toilet and medication in the house plus we always emphasize on hand washing and not touching the face. Other than that, illness comes when it comes.

Becky – i am with you. I am a person who enjoys a few solid friendships. Having 1000 facebook fans is sooo not my cup of tea. I always beleived that if you have 1000 "friends" you have none at all.
But new generation is comming and they might think otherwise. I know a few kids who have 2000+ friends on facebook. All they do is text all day long. I spend a few hours with a kind and it was hard to beleive that she could carry a conversation with me and at the same time text (without even looking at the screen).
February 2nd, 2010
9:25 am
FB can be a waste of time…but the one reason why I still check it is to keep up with friends who do not live nearby or that I don't see that often. Always fun to see what they've been up to and see pics of the kids. It is certainly not a substitute for face to face communication. But in little doses it is fine…I am on it maybe 10 minutes a day. The thing I don't like for sure is when I see husbands and wives "talking" to each other on FB!!!
February 2nd, 2010
9:32 am
@Way and others..I agree that a lot of FB is the younger generation and that's great for them..I guess what gets me about FB is, I have 2 coworkers (both are well over 40) and they are on FB (at work) at least 4 hrs a day..They are into "farmville" and it's very annoying to listen to that crap all day long..They both get upset with me when I tell them that I could care less what others are doing 24/7..I don't care what the college daughter is wearing to school, what she ate for breakfast, blah, blah..
Give me good old fashioned face to face and I'm happy..Heck, all I want from my cell phone is just to call people. I don't need it to name a song for me, I don't need it to tell me the weather..

My son must have had this. He started throwing up Sunday night around bed time and I was up I kept him out of school yesterday. He is back today. I didn't know anything like that was going around. It was very unusual as this is the first time he has ever thrown up that I can remember and he is 6.
I also don't use facebook. It seems to me to be about living in your past.

I'm on FB and LOVE it, and I check in often during the day. I can see what my friends are doing, communicate with them, and I have re-connected with a TON of high schools friends.
I still make time for face to face, but often that is not possible. I much prefer face to face, but when you have friends all spread out over the country, FB makes it easy to communicate.

I use FB to stay in contact with friends I rarely get to see or chat with. Very few with kids, most are DINKS but regardless, whatever sickness is going around seems to show up on FB amongst all of us at different points.
My 3 1/2 year old got that dreaded 24 hour stomach flu just before Christmas. I got it 2 days later :( It was awful. The only good thing was that it only lasted 24 hours. It was a horrible 24 hours but that was better than days of hugging the toilet bowl.

I really thought I'd see more FB users comment, but so far I'm not seeing it. Like JJ, I love Facebook. I use it every day. Most of my relatives live 700 miles away, so we keep up-to-date on each other's kids through Facebook updates and photos. It's much easier to post it once for everyone than to send e-mails or make phone calls to each person individually. Then the friends and family who want to see the pictures can, and those who don't care, don't have to look at them.
I, too, turn to Facebook for parenting insight. Shopping for a new cell phone recently, I posted a status asking my friends' thoughts on a few models – and got some good insight without having to ask a bunch of people individually (and I didn't know who had which phone models anyway). Advice on potty training? No faster way to poll an audience of like-minded (and some not-so-like-minded) parents on different styles. And for the nights when it feels like I must be the worst parent in the world, I can usually find solace after Wee Man has gone to bed, when I see that one of my friends had a worse time than me.

This is why my mom friends on FB are hidden from updates. Seriously – non-parents (this includes your relatives!) do not want to hear about vomit/diarrhea. If your kid is so sick I should know/do something, call or email me without graphic details.

MJG- you're never too old for Facebook. My grandmother is even on there and she has lots of good parenting advice after raising 12 children!
February 2nd, 2010

@ Really – My grandfather is on FB, too! He keeps up with all his grandkids and great-grandkids. Never really posts anything, but I hear he checks it every morning to see if there are new pictures of the babies (most of whom live far enough away that he only sees them on rare occasion). He also reads our blogs (a few of us keep personal blogs about our families) daily to feel connected to all of us.

I guess I'm just more social than most people. I FB, text, phone call, and actually meet some friends for lunch, dinner, cocktails, etc. Sometimes I am a homebody, but most of the time, I enjoy getting out with friends and family.
And since my friends are spread all over the country, it's nice to be able to communicate with them RIGHT now. I'm planning a trip to Colorado in October, and I'm working with some high school friends who are also planning to be there when I am. We all work, and there's a two hour difference in time zones, so FB'ing and texting is the best way to communicate.
I also keep up with my daughter on FB…

I am a FB user but I use it as a social networking site. If you want medical advice and suggestions, I would suggest the site WebMD (interject sarcasm here). While I love reconnecting with old friends via FB, I absolutely would not want to hear that little Timmy's poop is green and then have that followed up with a ton of responses on what the various shades of green poop mean.
I do enjoy reconnecting with old acquaintences and I can keep in touch with them without having to put them in my inner circle. For me, the best part of FB has been able to see read some of the other stuff my son does not tell me. Any parent can tell you – kids put EVERYTHING on Facebook. I don't know why they do it, but they do. If your gut is telling you that your child really isn't going to a study group on Friday nite, check FB and see which of her friends has the party invite link on their page!

Hmmmmm my last post disappeared.
I'm planning a trip to Colorado and am meeting several high school friends there. There's a two to three hour time zone difference, so FBing and texting works great while we are in the planning stages of this trip. Some people live there, so they can offer hotel info, etc……texting and FBing are they best ways to keep in touch with far away friends and family.
I also use FB to keep up with my daughter and communicate with some of her friends.

Another really great part of FB is keeping up with family and friends that are no longer local. I can see links, photos & keep in touch with them. I don't think you are ever too old for Facebook. My mom just set her page up!

I love FB -especially to keep up with far away friends and family! MJG -you don't message each person individually -your status updates, pics, posts, etc. go on your wall and into your "friends" FB home feeds. You can also control what updates and how many you're getting using privacy settings. I still think face to face or phone contact is best, but can't do that with all of my friends and family all of the time. I particularly love the photo albums for family and friends instead of having to post photos in an email and email everyone -always leaving someone out. I've also found it very interesting to see high school people and what their adult opinions and interests are.
Like Theresa, I love seeing what illness is making the neighborhood rounds. It's a help to me -especially with two small children -to know if perhaps I need to watch a developing situation more closely, etc. I also love it to know who to stay away from for awhile! In our area one of the elementary schools evidently had a really bad recurring lice problem last fall. They were having a community event, so I decided to stay away from it because I didn't want my kids rolling around all over the place there since post after post of friends with kids there was about lice, lice AGAIN, etc.

I cannot STAND Farmville and Mafia Wars! I finally sent out a status update telling everyone to LEAVE ME OFF of it. Talk about your wastes of time! I found it especially odd that most of the inundation I was receiving about Farmville came from women who are well over 40!

I don't like anybody (except MJG) and nobody likes me, so FB is a total waste of time! My kids "banned" and panned my spouse for getting on there – saying we were "stalking" them and their friends – and we were shocked and dismayed (though amused) to find out so much about our friends who are on there all the time talking about their extra-curricular social lives, all out in the open for their kids and "us" to see!
Seems no one is learning anything from that teacher's travails over in Winder!
What is wrong with good 'ol emailing – LOL – or even, gasp, using that thing that is hooked to a line that goes outside the house (or, at least the "lines" are hooked to something that goes outside the house!

NotAMom, I've had to hide a few Mom friends on my news feed too. And a friend who gave way too many details about her cat's health.
MJG, I highly recommend you take a look at facebook. There are a lot of ways to use it — you don't have to keep in contact with 1,000 people. For example, you may want to let your personal profile remain pretty much dormant but set up a "fan" page for your business. Your clients can become fans if they wish and then you can send them updates — new books you have out, openings in your schedule, etc. A lot of them will probably leave positive feedback on your wall too that anyone stumbling on to your page will see.

I love FB! Use it daily! I re-connected with so many friends and even long distance family members. It's great for advice from others. I'm with JJ. I text, use FB and have face to face meetings. I guess it's all about what works for you.
February 2nd, 2010
10:34 am
MJG, here's another option – One of my aunts set up an account with her e-mail address but her cat's name. She scoped out what FB was all about for months and only "friended" her kids and siblings. When she became more comfortable with what it was all about, she started linking up with extended family, old friends, church friends, etc.
Also, you don't have to be "friends" with everyone. I know my former boss was on Facebook, but had a "no work friends" policy. She didn't pick and choose – she just was not FB friends with ANY of her co-workers. Now the site also has privacy settings to allow who can see which parts of your account. You can even block certain friends from seeing certain activity on your account. For instance, if you don't want your sister-in-law to see the comments other people are making on your "wall" (your account message board) you can specifically dis-allow her from seeing that aspect. If you want to be "friends" with your co-workers but don't want them to see your photos, status updates, political views, etc – you can dis-allow those people from seeing those things. It's time-consuming, but it can be done.

I love FB. I don't do all the applications though. I don't have time for all of that nonsense! Like many of the others, I am on there to keep in touch with family and friends. It's a great way to share pictures, etc. That being said, I don't really go on there for parenting advice though. If I have questions or concerns, I will either call or e-mail those that I feel will give me the answers that will be most helpful!
MJG…all of my parents are on FB. If my grandpa had access to a computer and e-mail, I can guarantee he would be on there too! He really enjoys the new technology! ;o) As someone else said, that would be a GREAT way for you to market your business (even though it sounds like you keep pretty busy as it is!)

I got into Farmville and was hooked……but I stopped about three weeks ago. I never got into mafia wars, cafe world, zoo world, etc. Farmville was fun for awhile, but I got bored with it.
February 2nd, 2010
11:04 am
I enjoy FB, because I can keep up with what my kids are doing at school, and enjoy photos that my inlaws and nieces and nephews post (one of my nieces is a photographer, so I always enjoy her quirky view of the world.) My MIL posted pictures of her recent trip to Central America which were fun to see. I very seldom post on my kids' boards, though. Neither one of mine felt like I was "stalking" them — because we agreed that "what happens on Facebook, stays on Facebook" — I never brought up, "Why did you say that?" on Facebook, etc. I did have to remind my daughter to tighten up how much information she was putting out there, though, and she complied willingly. Most of us adults in the family don't really post that much.
What I HATE on FB is a couple of cousins who seemed compelled to share every meaningless part of their lives. I mean, c'mon — we ALL hate laundry. Yes, the kids are adorable, but I really don't need hourly updates on temperatures or vomiting. I don't care if you are watching "24″ instead of doing homework . . . I've had a couple of people that I had to stop their feeds because I was just getting TMI. One of them was a writer, who bemoans her writer's block about every two hours — although she seems to be able to write perfectly well on FB . . .
And I absolutely refuse to get sucked into Farmville!

I've never understood the fascination of FB. People always tell me its a great way to keep in touch with old friends….but all my really great friends over the years I keep in touch with anyhow. To me that is the litmus test of a great friend, keeping in touch when it is hard to keep in touch, not when it is easy, but when it is hard. I can remember actually WRITING letters, putting stamps on them, and dropping them in the mail to some of these guys…you know when long distance phone calls across the country from their college to mine was 40 cents a minute.

And don't even get me started on Twitter. I'll admit to having a healthy level of narcissism, but that takes it to a completely different level of loving yourself and thinking that everyone in the world is or should be interested in the minutiae of your life.
February 2nd, 2010

@Tiger..Boy did you hit the nail on the head with that last post..
February 2nd, 2010
12:00 pm
@ Becky…..I think some people have a real NEED to think that more people care about them than actually do. That's kind of sad.
February 2nd, 2010
12:01 pm
I am a avid FB user. I keep up with friends and family who don't live close, and since my Mother does not use a computer I can keep her up to date on things going on in the family. I have become very close to a cousin through FB. It has also helped me get to know several of the Men serving with my husband over in Afghanistan and stay in contact with several of the spouses. My husband in not the kind to use FB, but he has considered it to be able to stay in contact with me, but since we email and talk to each other almost every day, he does not feel the need to set up an account.
I am friends with my daughter's father and his new wife, we comment of each other's posting and have many of the same friends. We also can keep each other better informed of our families, just because we got divorced does not mean we stopped carring for each other's family members.
I also use FB to keep up with many friends I have made in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) and can plan and schedule meeting up with them at event. I think many groups and clubs would think it a useful tool.
I also find it disturbing when I read post from husbands and wives, some things don't need to be shared.
February 2nd, 2010
12:05 pm
@LM…those all sound like really useful tools. I guess FB is what one makes it…good and bad. I have friends who have their own private websites that they proactively grant access too those who they think would be interested in it. For some reason that seems more palatable to me than a FB scenario where people can actively seek you out and inquire about you and want to be your "friend". I think that idea of being "watched" by complete strangers is what has been the impasse for me. Makes me uneasy.
February 2nd, 2010
12:22 pm
…isn't your "daughter's father and his new wife" your ex? If so, why not just use that expression?
February 2nd, 2010
12:22 pm
I agree with Tiger about twittering……
FB and texting is just about all I need to keep up with friends and family…..

Didn't the teacher in Winder get fired after SOMEBODY ELSE posted the pictures of her with the wine glass on FB?
February 2nd, 2010
12:24 pm
Tiger… it is all about privacy settings… strangers can't see any of my personal information and even when posting photos you can block groups from seeing things. The problem is when people think it is okay to publish thing you don't wnat to see or read. But you can block their status updates.
I love visitng with friends, but with my schedule and living so far away from everyone, I don't get to see them very often. I now have a much closer relationship with my niece because of FB, before FB I only saw her maybe 4 times from birth, now I can "talk" to her and see what a beautiful young woman she is growing into. Like wise I found out about my uncles throat surgery via FB, he only had to post once but everyone in the family was updated.
February 2nd, 2010
12:27 pm
Hey, LM… it depends on how you look at it, I don't consider him so much an ex, but I do consider him her father. I didn't "X" him out of my life with the divorce, we are close and have a good relationship.
February 2nd, 2010
12:27 pm
I too started on FB to keep tabs on my girls (now 16, & 19) and their friends, but have found that it is a wonderful way to touch base with friends from childhood, old co-workers and many, many relatives who do not live in GA. As we are not originally from here we have no family locally and would really miss out on a lot of info/updates without FB. FB is how we kept family/friends up to date when my MIL had her lung transplant last spring and it was truly a God send. Right now we are using FB to keep tabs on an uncle who is undergoing treatment for newly diagnosed leukemia. I don't really rely on it for parenting tips as mine are mostly grown but it does give me a heads up to what illnesses might be going around the high school or college.
February 2nd, 2010
12:29 pm
Tiger, you can set pretty tight privacy settings and refuse requests from strangers. Personally, I don't want to meet people on FB, but I've enjoyed catching up with a lot of old friends/casual acquantances there and seeing what they're up to these days. For both of my high schools, it's led to mini-reunions around Christmas time when a lot of people are back home visiting family. Someone sends up the bat signal that a bunch of alums are meeting up at a restaurant/bar on 12/26, and 150-200 people show up from 5-10 years of grad classes. Very low key, very little work or organizing involoved, but lots of fun! It's also a good place for my local friends and I to post upcoming events and share photos from get-togethers (or softball games), but not a place for longer conversations — dinner after work is better for that! For my nearest, dearest friends, it's convenient and fun to have a place to drop a quick note or make a comment on something they've posted, but our "real" contact is through longer letters, emails, and especially phone calls. Like you said, it is what you make of it.
February 2nd, 2010
12:35 pm
I think I realized I missed the boat on FB when my MOM called me up and told me that she had signed up and it was really COOL. I think I was stigmatized by that…next she'll be telling me where the best strip joints are for my annual Vegas trips are! I just can't get over that my MOM is leading the way on COOL for me! ;-)

Amos Muyambo displays a T-shirt designed for Sanganai Deaf Club members.In Ministry Together: The Gift of Language
By Melissa LauberSometimes all Amos Muyambo can do is pray.
In his native Zimbabwe he met a woman who never had heard of God. She also never had heard of community, reading, worship, games, travel or a thousand other things. Emma was a woman without language.
She took care of animals, knew food satisfied her hunger and sleep took away her fatigue. But she was deaf. With the exception of a few gestures for survival, she communicated with no one.
Emma was not alone. A young deaf boy who lived nearby also had no language. He watched his father die, be placed in a coffin and buried, without any real concept of what death was. Then he was sent to an orphanage.
Muyambo acknowledges that sometimes all one can do is pray, but at other times God demands action. For Muyambo that time has come.
His decision to minister to the deaf is intertwined with the mission of Christ Church of the Deaf in Baltimore and the United Methodist National Committee on Ministry with People Who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Late Deafened and Deaf-Blind.
Carol Stevens runs a Deaf Shalom Zone in Baltimore and took the first deaf Volunteers in Mission team to Zimbabwe in 2000. Earlier she and two others went there to explore and prepare for the group's trip.
She discovered that one Roman Catholic Church did translate the Mass once a month for deaf people. But in a nation where "the church is so central," the spiritual exclusion of the deaf had to be addressed. It needed to begin with language.
"They weren't getting the 'Word,'" Stevens said. "The Word with a capital 'W' may exist, but people can't be aware of it without the little 'w': words."
A series of hundreds of little miracles began. "God strategically arranges things," Stevens said.
She was worshipping at Hilltop Church in Mutare, Zimbabwe, and learned, via e-mail, of a class of deaf people in nearby Sakubva that they could visit.
"We were down front, so we could do the translation," she said. "Amos began to talk about his desire to be a sign-language teacher. I asked him if he knew the person who sent the e-mail. He did and became our God-given guide."
The group met a woman giving birth. She was the first deaf patient at the mission hospital in Mtumba. They learned of another deaf woman in the area who was raising 17 grandchildren. "They said she was a little depressed. Can you imagine – a little depressed?" Stevens marveled.
Muyambo saw a new world.
A physical education teacher, he began paying more attention to the deaf people, especially the children.
Because most don't have language, deaf people are marginalized at home. They are given menial tasks and not involved in the community's spiritual life.
There are only four residential schools for the deaf in Zimbabwe, Muyambo said. Each is run by a different group of people using their own sign language. For the other deaf children, there are 220 teachers in Zimbabwe, but only 80 have had training in deaf education and sign language.
Isolated, the children invent their own sign language. With no common language, it's almost impossible to form community, Muyambo said.
He began gathering the deaf children from different schools to compete in races and volleyball. The real benefit was that the children began to learn a common sign language to communicate with each other.
This year's sports day drew 120 children and their teachers from the Manicaland province. Deaf students from the Nyadire United Methodist Mission drove more than four hours to attend. Sixty of the children stayed overnight for a sign language workshop and AIDS education, funded in part by Christ Church.
"It's important that kids see somebody else that's deaf besides them," Muyambo said. "If not, they don't know if there is anybody else deaf in the world. Some kids had never seen a deaf adult. They didn't know if their own deafness would disappear when they grew up."
Muyambo is not surprised by the success of the sports days. In 2000, when he and others called a meeting of adults who were concerned about deaf children, they expected 200 people to attend. They stopped counting after 400 walked through the door.
A member of the Sanganai Deaf Club practices her sewing.The adults talked together in English, Shona and sign language and formed the first deaf community organization, "Sanganai." The name means "to meet."
In Harare, many of the deaf people beg. Sanganai members decided they didn't want any deaf people begging in Mutare, so they began teaching skills. Today, 54 people belong to the Sanganai Deaf Club and work in income-generating projects like tie-dye, furniture making, mushroom growing, envelope making and clowning.
Clowning is the most unusual, explained Stevens. There were no clowns in Zimbabwe, but during a 2003 mission trip, Carolyn Sangrew, a professional clown from Pine Castle Church in Orlando, Fla., donated costumes to the club and taught them about Christian clowning.Restaurants hire the clowns to entertain children.
But the members of the club did not stop with occupational training. They also asked Muyambo to teach them about the Bible.
As he worked with deaf people, Muyambo experienced a call to deaf ministry. Despite being the father of four children, he quit his job and began to study theology at Africa University, a United Methodist-related school in Mutare.
He began leading the Bible study and also took 17 members to church with him. They, in turn, began to evangelize to others. "Hearing the word is not enough," Muyambo said. "The thing is, you have to speak it. When you meet Jesus, things happen."
When Stevens' group vis-ited Zimbabwe last summer, her sixth mission trip to Africa, she witnessed the baptisms of six deaf adults. She said, "The Spirit is transforming the lives of deaf people."
While Stevens was in Zimbabwe, Muyambo was in Baltimore, learning about deaf culture and ministry in the United States.
He hopes that when he returns to Zimbabwe there will be a place for him to work as a pastor for the deaf.
In the United States, people frequently ask him why he is attracted to deaf ministry.
"I grew up with a love I learned from my mother," he said. "She shared what very little we had with the poor, with people from the streets. We used to tease her, saying, 'How can you invite them to come and share a meal with us when we have nothing?'"
But she believed that if you invited someone, God would provide for all of you. "God provided," Muyambo said.
He now hopes that he can communicate to Zimbabwe's deaf people and that God will speak a word through him. It is his prayer.

The Union of Black Episcopalians and the city of Norfolk established a scholarship in honor of the Rev. Dr. Joseph Green, a 1949 Saint Augustine's University graduate. The endowment fund was announced during a special tribute to Green at the Union of Black Episcopalians 43rd Annual Meeting and Conference, held June 27-July 1 at the Marriott Norfolk Waterside Hotel in Norfolk, Va.
The scholarship was established to honor Green's contributions to the Episcopal Church and the Hampton Roads community. Green, who is a member of the University's Board of Trustees and a former chaplain at the school, was pastor of Norfolk's Grace Episcopal Church for 30 years before retiring in 1994.
Green has been a force in the community. He served four years on the Norfolk School Board, 20 years on the Norfolk City Council and 10 years as the vice mayor of Norfolk. Green was instrumental in establishing Tidewater Community University's Norfolk campus, on which the administration building was named in his honor in 2009.
"Rev. Green has made significant contributions to the Saint Augustine's University community as well as the Hampton Roads area," said President Dianne Boardley Suber. "He serves as a wonderful role model for our students and is truly a living example of what we are teaching our students – to be change agents in their communities."
