Bowler Appointed Superintendent of Highways The Clare County Road Commission resumed the maintenance of State highways in Clare county September 1st. The change was made by State Highway Commissioner Chas. lyr. Ziegler after Careful investigation of conditions and county road equipment in Clare county, in line with his policy of returning maintenance of State highways to the road commissions in counties which are adequately equipped and capably organized to carry on this work to the satisfaction, of the State Highway Department, under its supervision. Clare county residents should feel proud of the fact that their county was one of the very first to meet with the approval of Commissioner Ziegler and receive a contract to maintain the State highways within the county. Wm. E. Bowler, who has had many years of successful highway administrative experience and has been a Clare County Road Commissioner for the past five years and chairman of the commission for the past two years, has been appointed Superintendr ent of Clare county roads and maintenance of State highways in the county. In accordance with the policy of (Continued on' Page Six) Boy Scouting to Be Discussed at Wednesday Meet Plans for Boy Scouting activities in The Isabella-Clare digtrict_of the Valley Trails Council during the autumn and winter months will be discussed at a Town Hall Meeting to be held at the Mt, Pleasant High School auditorium next Wednesday evening, Sep- 1 tember 8th, at 8:00 o'clock. " { Council officials wish to express their appreciation, of the support of the committeemen and other scouters in the district during the past year, which has resulted in splendid advancement of scouting In the council. All committeemen, scouters and persons interested in Boy Scouting are urgently requested to attend the meeting next Wednesday evening and take an active part in the discussions and planning. MOTHER FATALLY SHOT BY HUSBAND AT MTJ-LEASANT Alleged Murderer Held by Isabella County Officers Christmas Gifts for Overseas Soldiers Must Be Mailed Between September 15th and October 15th The Christmas shopping season is here—even though the weather is still warm. Mailing of gifts for Army and Navy personnel overseas must begin by September 15, if many of the men and women in our armed services are not to be disappointed. Christmas gifts may be mailed by parcel post to Army-men and women overseas only between September 15 and October 15. After the latter date, such parcels may not be mailed unless a written request from the soldier for the article is presented with each parcel. No soldier should have to ASK fdr a Christmas gift; so gifts must be mailed on time. The Navy also urges that gifts be mailed between September 15 and October 15. Reasons for the early mailing dates are: The vast distances that the parcels must travel to reach our men at war fronts and stations the world over; frequent transfers of thousands of men, from one location to another, which means forwarding of the mail and consumes additional time; the necessity for giving preference to reinforcements, arms munitions, medietae and food in allotment of shipping space, which often means that the shipments of gifts must wait. And it is most urgent that gifts be delivered to the men IN TIME FOR. CHRISTMAS, to keep their spirit high. The only way to insure against disappointment for th_ fighting men isj to buy at once and mail early—mall your gifts as soon as possible after the September 15 starting date. Those who have relatives or friends in the service should remember that we have fighting men in Alaska, Greenland, Iceland, England, Sicily, far-separated regions of Africa, the Near Eastern countries, Australia, many of the South Pacific islands} India, China, South America, and other areas. Weeks are required for a ship to reach many of these stations. There can be no assurance, of course, that the first ship sailing for any of these locations will have space available to carry Christmas parcels. Gifts may have to wait until vitally needed supplies and equipment have been shipped, to assure victory and to save the lives of our men. If the parcels are not mailed early, that delay may prove to be just enough to prevent their arrival by Christmas day, with consequent disappointment to the men who are offering their lives for their country and ours. Mail of all kinds is vital to the spirit of fighting men. Every officer who has inspected our Army and (Continued on Page Six) Glenn White, thirty-four year old Standish oil field worker, is being held by officers atMt Pleasant to face the charge of murder, following the fatal shooting of his twenty-nine year old wife, Betty,! at 5:50 Wednesday evening, near the home of her sister, Mrs. Bert Goudait, of Mt. Pleasant, where Mrs. White had been making her home. White, who was given a medical discharge from the Coast Guard a month ago and had been living at Standish, quarreled with his wife and they separated two weeks ago, when she returned to Mt. Pleasant to live with her sister. A divorce suit was reported to be pending in Isabella County Circuit Court at the time of the shooting. At 5:45 Wednesday evening, Mrs. White and her three year old daughter, Alice, gnd LJent""an<l Mrs. Goudait went from the home of Mrs. White's mother next door to find White sitting in his car which was parked in the driveway between, the two homes. Alice climbed into the back seat of the car and Mrs. White stopped to talk to her estranged husband, her sister and mother returning to the Goudait home. It is alleged that White suddenly pulled a revolver and fired once, the bullet striking Mrs. White in the left side and passing from her body under the right arm, 'causing instant death. He then put the child out of the car and drove rapidly away. State Police and Sheriff's officers sent out an alarm and all main highways were blockaded to prevent White's escape. He was apprehended by State Police of the Bay City Post and a deputy of the Arenac County Sheriff's deparment in a tavern near Sterling, seventy miles northeast of Mt. Pleasant near Standish, where White stopped for a drink. According to officers, White was too drunk to make a statement and no doubt had been drinking before the shooting. RAM TRUCK COMING TO THIS COMMUNITY , WEDNESDAY, OCT. 13 Farmers Ordering Now Will Be Assured of Good Breeding Rams RUMMAGE SALE St. Cecilia's Church Unit No 6 will hold a rummage sale lii the rear of Jackson's Meat Market Friday and] Saturday, September 10 and 11. 4St2 * The Michigan purebred sheep breeders ram truck will stop near Clare ott October 13th. The itinery has just been announced by E. L. Benton, animal husbandry specialist of M. S, C. During recent years the truck has made a stop near Glare to accomodate sheep growers from adjoining counties. A feature of the ram truck stop is the exchange and sale of local rams. Many of these rams are of excellent quality and find a new home near by to carry on the improvement of local flocks. Farmers who have a ram to trade in or sell can very profitably be giving sOm_ attention to these rams in order that they come out on sale day in good condition and fit to bring a good price. Many of the rams carried on the truck will be delivered on orders being placed by Michigan sheep owners. Mr. Benton advises fai^mers wanting a good ram to place an order now. By | doing this a ram meeting the specifications'of the farmer can be tagged for delivery to him. Otherwise most of the better rams are Bold at the first few stops and those who have_ not placed an order may not find a ram which suits thenu By placing %n (Continued tin Page.

In his hale years, he was noted for his progressive methods of farming, and his willingness to cooperate with those who could bring him new ideas about the work he loved. He was generous and honest in his dealings with his friends and neighbors. He leaves to mourn their loss, his wife, Eveline; two daughters, Mrs. Neil Haney, of Marysville and, Mrs. Wallace Carrow, of Clare; two sisters, Mrs. Charles Burnett, of Greenwood, and Mrs. Guy Light, of Harrison; two grandchildren, and a host of other relatives and friends.

One man was critically burned and three others very painfully burned when a 3,000 barrel storage tank exploded and a 2,000 barrel tank also burned at 9:00 o'clock Monday morning at the Simerall Pipe Line Company tank farm four miles south of Temple on the Van Horn lease in the Freeman-Redding field. Although company officials could give no defi- nit cause for the fire, it was foggy in the field that morning and the gas was laying low. T. N. Rutherford, 50, of Evart, was burned on the hands, arms and back and taken to the Reed City hospital in a very serious condition. His condition was reported as fair Thursday. Dick Swade, 41, of Mt. Pleasant, an employee, was burned about the face and hands. T. F. Roberts, 31, of Evart, an employee, was burned on both hands.

Seltzer, at Marion, where they were treated and released. All four of the injured men are expected to recover. The Clare Fire Department responded to a call for assistance with the rural fire truck and kept two additional tanks from exploding by cooling them with streams of water. The local firemen also threw water into the slush pits, reducing the flames so that they could be approached by Simerall fire fighters and extinguished with foamite. _ _____ I COLONVILLE SCHOOL REUNION The Colonville School reunion will be held on Saturday, September 4th, at the Clare Tourist' Park.

Christopher "Kid" Reid -- one half of the rap group Kid n' Play -- was arrested in Los Angeles earlier today ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us the 47-year-old rapper is currently in custody.
We're told LAPD officers went to Reid's home to take him into custody because there was an active warrant out for his arrest. So far, it's unclear why the warrant was issued in the first place.
Sources tell us Kid was "very cooperative" with the cops.
He's being charged with making crappy music, a felony in his case hopefully.
Yea, Kid's such a threat to society. More proof that L.A is broke as a joke. A**holes. F*ck'em, Kid.
"You look like Kid n' Play"
"That's actually two different people"
I guess Hot Tub Time Machine was right!
it stems from a house party.
I just saw him yesterday at Roscoe's and he left half of a waffle on his plate. Now THAT is a crime.
And people said Kid n' Play couldn't get arrested in this town any more.
That's the dude with the big ass hair
Is he on the Michael Jackson skin treatment?
He aint gonna hurt nobody...he's just dancing yall!
Seriously though, I met this dude one day when we were eating with some friend's at The Grove, he had his son with him and couldn't have been any nicer. Good guy.
I wonder was it because someone saw him and Play doing that stupid dance they always did with each other in their movies. lol
Nostradamus: 30 minutes ago
Is he on the Michael Jackson skin treatment?
Nope dude has always been light skinned.
He's an awfully old "kid".
He aint gonna hurt nobody!
LMAO, this soft yellow ninja is the absolute LAST rapper in the world, I'd expect to read about getting arrested, LOL....

Dear Friends and Colleagues of the GHG Protocol,
Welcome to the July 2012 edition of the GHG Protocol newsletter. This quarter's edition highlights the launch of the mitigation accounting project, which has begun the process of developing two new standards. These standards will establish guidelines for mitigation action/policy accounting and mitigation goals accounting and are expected to be completed in 2014.
We are also excited to announce several new developments in communication, training, and opportunities to become involved in our work. Over the past few months, we have begun regularly blogging about our work and major issues in GHG accounting. We are also launching new webinars that will make our training materials accessible globally. Lastly, please provide us feedback on our tools and offerings on our website as well as on a new accounting note.
As always we welcome your input and suggestions on all areas of our work.

Last year there were over 50 million Americans who had no insurance. This year because of the Affordable Care Act, up to 35 million more Americans have the possibility of obtaining health insurance.
The ACA is poised to make dramatic improvements to the quality of life for Americans. The ACA will reduce fear and stress on millions of Americans. No longer do Americans have to worry about not being able to obtain insurance because of their health. They do not have to worry about being bankrupted or losing their home because of an illness. They will no longer be slaves to a job they hate but can't leave because of medical insurance. Couples where both spouses work to pay for insurance may find it possible for one of them to stay home with the kids and eliminate the cost of day care. Older workers, may find it possible to retire early or take a less stressful job. Parents of young adults are able to keep them on their policy to age 26.
All of this is real and we all know of people in these situations. Who wants to give up the security that the ACA brings of knowing that they have good medical insurance? No one does. This is why all attempts to destroy the ACA will ultimately fail.
— Jim Collins, Magalia

What is the Metropolitan Cantor Institute?
The Metropolitan Cantor Institute exists to support and foster liturgical singing in the Byzantine Catholic Metropolitan Church of Pittsburgh. At the direction of our bishops, and in cooperation with our clergy and experienced cantors, the Institute trains and certifies cantors for the service of the church, prepares music and educational materials, and provides workshops and seminars in church singing.
The mission of the Metropolitan Cantor Institute:
To ensure that each parish in the Byzantine Catholic Church has a cantor who can lead the liturgical singing of the parish well, to the glory of God and in support of the prayer of the faithful.
Classes for Fall 2014
Each month, the Cantor Institute holds a regular class in Pittsburgh on church singing and chant leadership. The classes run from 9 AM to 3 PM and cover liturgy, use of the voice, leadership skills for cantors, and chant repertoire. Here are the classes scheduled for the remainder of 2014:
- September 6 - Celebrating the Feasts of the Liturgical Year
Feasts in the Byzantine Rite. How the different cycles of the liturgical year fit together, and how the Divine Liturgy changes for feast days, especially when a feast falls on Sunday. Chant to be covered: the music in the Divine Liturgies book for the fixed feast days of the liturgical year.
- October 4 - The Office of Vespers
All cantors should know the basics of celebrating Vespers, especially since the special services for Lent, Holy Week, Christmas and Theophany make use of parts of this service. This one-day course will cover the layout of Vespers, the core hymns of the service, and the general rules for the use of the Vespers tones.
- November 1 - The Eight Tones
A one-day course on the melodies for troparia, kontakia, prokeimena, and stichera in all eight tones. The course will teach each of these melodies, along with techniques to memorize them and sing them easily and effectively.
- December 6 – Feasts of Christmas and Theophany
Music for the services of Christmas and Theophany: the vigil service for each feast (and the midnight service for Christmas), the feast-day Divine Liturgies, and the chants for the Sundays before and after each feast.
This fall, all classes will be held at Ss. Cyril and Methodius Byzantine Catholic Seminary, 3605 Perrysville Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15214.
Tuition for the entire series of four classes is $40.00, which includes lunch and materials. To register, just fill out and return the registration form by September 1. If registering after September 1, please contact MCI director Jeffrey Mierzejewski at (412) 735-1676 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Cantor Institute tuition can be paid with your registration, or before the start of the first class. Make checks payable to Archeparchy of Pittsburgh.
Tentive topics for 2015:
- January - Paraliturgical Hymns and Spiritual Songs
- February - Reader Services and Typika
- March - The Feasts of the Mother of God
- April - Vocal workshop
- May - Singing the Baptismal, Wedding, and Anointing services
Identifying and Honoring our Cantors
In 1974, for its fiftieth anniversary, the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh honored all its cantors, current and retired, in the context of the St. Nicholas Dinner, at which the program booklet included photos and brief biographies of each cantor.
For the 90th anniversary, in 2014, we would like to honor the cantors of the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh in a similar fashion, and encourage the other eparchies to do likewise. This has the potential to bear fruit for years to come in increased awareness of and respect for our church singing and its practitioners.
The chancery will be contacting each parish in the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh in order to compile a current list of our cantors.
Documenting the history of our church music - how you can help
The Metropolitan Cantor Institute is working with the Byzantine Catholic Seminary Library to put together material to document the history of the liturgical music of the Byzantine Catholic Church, both plain chant and choral music. Earlier this year, Metropolitan William put out a request to clergy to help in this effort.
Later this year, we will be posting a list of particular items we are looking for, as well as some scanned images that we could use help identifying.
We are also interested in recordings. Here is our working list current list of Greek Catholic plain chant and choral recordings done in the United States:
If you have additional information about any of the recordings in this list (or if you have access to copies of recordings that the seminary does not yet have), please contact us!
Workshop recordings
Cantor's Retreat
Unfortunately, we were unable to hold a Cantors' Day of Recollection this year, and so we are providing here the talks from last year's retreat, which was given at St. John the Baptist Cathedral in Munhall, PA.
- 2012 Cantor's Retreat - morning session (40 minutes)
- 2012 Cantor's Retreat - afternoon session (45 minutes)
Both talks about by Fr. David Mastroberte, a priest of the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese.

I love this vintage sign. The building — the old drug store — was shuttered several years ago. If you look through the building's front windows, you can see merchandise inside, scattered on shelves, countertops, and atop the soda fountain. Did the former occupant leave in a hurry, and never return? A mystery.

|New UN Report On AIDS
A new UN report, entitled AIDS in Africa, was compiled over two years using more than 150 experts. It warns that 10% of Africans (an additional 90 million people) could be infected with HIV within the next 2 decades.
Jan 05, Rajesh Makwana ~ STWR
Although an innately rich and magnificent continent, Africa today stands braced for decades of further impoverishment and increasing death tolls if the international community does not act urgently to overhaul their commitment to economic, social and political justice for the people of Africa.
The new UN report, entitled AIDS in Africa, was compiled over two years using more than 150 experts. It warns that 10% of Africans (an additional 90 million people) could be infected with HIV within the next 2 decades.
The global HIV/AIDS epidemic killed more than three million people in 2004, and nearly two-thirds of those with HIV live in Sub-Saharan Africa. During 2004 an estimated 2.3 million people died as a result of AIDS in this region, that's more than 6,300 people a day.
AIDS has a huge impact on every aspect of African life. It has reduced the average life expectancy to 47 years in Sub-Saharan Africa; families and communities steadily dissolve as parents die from the disease, leaving orphans (approximately 95 percent of all AIDS orphans in the world live in sub-Saharan Africa), many of whom are also infected; health care services are strained and school enrollments decrease; workers die in the prime of their working lives reducing family income and agricultural productivity.
The result is that the struggling African economy suffers yet another debilitating blow. This combined with enfeebling debt repayments and unjust trade relationships with the developed nations, leaves Africa destitute and vulnerable, further exacerbating the mass poverty experienced in this continent.
Funding AIDS and Development
An enormous transfer of global resources must be mobilized if this escalating disaster is to be averted and the moral prerogative to facilitate this must rest with the minority "rich" nations.
Global funding for HIV/AIDS has tripled in the past four years from a little over US$2bn to $6bn. However, the UN recommends a committed campaign against HIV/AIDS' and a substantial increase in global funding and investment to $200bn.
The UN report analyses 3 possible scenarios of HIV and Aids in Africa over the next 20 years. It highlights the dramatic impact government policies could have on the spread of HIV and AIDS in Africa. The report also warns that sustaining current levels of action and investment could see the disease bring the entire continent to its knees.
It is only through the political will of individual governments and international bodies such as the World Bank, IMF and WTO that these needs will be met and lasting change can occur. However this will not happen until there is a fundamental shift in priorities of many of these nations and institutions.
Resources must be distributed equitably
It must be emphasized that apart from the moral prerogative, there is a mutual economic benefit in ensuring that countries devastated by poverty are resuscitated. The world is increasingly interdependent- politically, economically and socially. Creating economically healthy global partners will boost the suffering world economy through better trade, employment and opportunity for all nations. This in turn would engender peaceful international relations for many generations.
However, sacrifices must be made in order to achieve this, and they must be made by the wealthy nations who need to invest heavily in international development. Such sacrifices will not be made whilst governments pursue short term economic gain in an increasingly competitive international playing field. There is a fundamental resistance by those in positions of global influence to reform their institutions, level the playing field and share the world's resources equitably.
It can be argued that extreme poverty, the escalating AIDS epidemic, and many aspects of global terrorism and insecurity are a result of the lack of political will in the minority world to address the growing gulf between rich and poor.
The obvious figure to highlight is the current annual global military spending, some $1 trillion, with the United States responsible for more than a third of that total. In comparison, the amount calculated by the United Nations to deal with AIDS, or to eradicate extreme global poverty is miniscule. Yet, despite pledges and commitments, few governments are on track to achieve even the 0.7% GDP target recommended over 35 years ago by the United Nations (subsequent to the influential Pearson Report in 1969), despite almost universal commitments to this goal by donor countries.
The immediate benefits of such excessive military spending are, at best, difficult for any government to justify. The need to prevent over 6,000 daily deaths from AIDS alone clearly requires no justification, only action.
The traditional justifications of "national defense" or "preventing terrorism" have been widely rejected by many studies that have concluded that these vast amounts of money can be better spent addressing the causes of terrorism and fostering trust and cooperation between nations.
Commenting on the Worldwatch Institute's State of the World 2005 report- ˜Redefining Global Security", the U.S. based research group's president Christopher Flavin states that,
"Unless the world takes action to improve economic and environmental conditions around the world, security officials will face an uphill battle in dealing with the many consequences of vulnerable societies-from wars and terrorism to heightened impacts from natural disasters."
A united Global Public
December's devastating tsunami did much to raise global solidarity amongst the public. Their generosity represented global goodwill in action. Such was the power of this heartfelt reaction that it visibly persuaded governments to give more in aid and assistance then they initially seemed prepared to give.
The campaign to inform the public of the inhumane levels of death from AIDS (and global poverty) must be strengthened and information presented about the true causes and cures of these horrors. People will naturally respond if they are informed. As evident with the tsunami disaster, political will can only manifest if sustained pressure is applied to governments by an informed public. The question arises, are the 6,300 deaths each day from AIDS in Africa alone enough to engender the necessary public response?

If you are having IT band problems, it is probably because you are heel-striking too much. That's what they told me--I started to have IT band problems after about a year--because I was heel striking. The problem is, if you are heel striking with these shoes, you will be in a lot of pain. These shoes are made for a barefoot running style.

MA soccer team improving
By BARRY BURLESON
The Marshall Academy Patriots lost to Lafayette and beat Strayhorn on the soccer field last week.
Coach Lance McGregor said he thought the boys "played their best game of the season" in a 5-2 loss to the Commodores.
"If we could have capitalized on a couple of opportunities or had not given up three easy goals, we had a real shot of winning against a quality squad," he said.
"There is so much improvement right now and everyone is starting to get the grasp of what's going on."
He said Kendall Harris played his best game of the year in goal despite the opponent's five goals.
"There were two shots he normally would save and nobody wishes they had those two shots back more than Kendall," McGregor said. "He works really hard and listens to everything anyone has to say.
He also praised the play of other patriots.
"Hank Owens took his game to another level tonight, scoring twice and welcoming his new position," McGregor said. "I really hated to take him off defense but he is such a weapon and is really turning into our leader.
"I was really proud of Neil Murphy as well. He played his best game thus far. You see the potential there but he still has a lot to unlock. He is really starting to work a lot better with his teammates though and beginning to grasp his position.
"Jake DeLashmit does a great job of bringing the ball up the field and distributing it to his teammates each game and sometimes it is under-appreciated because you just expect it from him. Chase Smith gave us a nice game.
"Duncan Baker was playing in his first game and I was impressed in how much he harassed their forwards and kept them outside. Kasey Shaw and Chad Mitchell played nice games again on defense.
"Really everyone stepped it up and played well. These are just the ones who stand out. But I'm proud of the effort everyone gives and they are not taken for granted."
Lafayette took a 2-0 halftime lead before DeLashmit found Owens downfield for a shot in the corner of the goal to cut it to 2-1 at the 48 minute mark.
Lafayette scored the next two goals before Owens broke away down the right side and made a beautiful shot to cut it to 4-2 at the 68 minute mark. About five minutes later DeLashmit got behind their defense and had a one-on-one with Lafayette's goalie but hurried his shot just a bit and pushed it right, McGregor said.
Lafayette scored with about 30 seconds left in the game for the final 5-2 deficit.
The Patriots overcame a sluggish first half and won 3-0.
"The first half was not fun to watch," McGregor said. "Strayhorn only played eight guys due to suspensions, but we did not play well together and kept shooting ourselves in the foot. We had plenty of opportunities but just couldn't capitalize. There was very little intensity.
"We sit down and talked at halftime and the first thing I asked them was if they would agree that was the worst we have played all year. Most agreed.
"I told them to settle down, work together, show some confidence, and go back to having fun."
Strayhorn played with a full squad in the second half and actually had the first scoring opportunity when Marshall called for a foul and the Mustangs were awarded a penalty kick. The kick sailed high and to the left.
"Our guys really starting hustling after that and Strayhorn only got the ball deep into our territory one more time the remainder of the game," the coach said.
He said DeLashmit and Owens did great jobs of bringing the ball up and getting everyone involved.
"We really controlled the ball and thus controlled the outcome of the game," McGregor said. "Simply put, we played like the game is supposed to be played and I was extremely pleased with everyone.
"I felt Drew Rappa stepped up on defense and really got in their heads. He was hustling all over the field. I really couldn't pick a most valuable player this game as everyone contributed and played nearly mistake-free."
MA struck first in the 47th minute on a goal from Murphy on an assist from Owens. The Patriots' next goal came eight minutes later when Owens got behind the defense and connected. Three minutes later DeLashmit sent a ball through to Smith and he caught up to it and made a really tough shot.
"That was a fun 11 minutes and I can't say enough for our fans," McGregor said. "They really got behind us and got in on the fun. I think this really encouraged the guys; it was just a pleasant sight. We have a super group of followers.
"We had a few more scoring opportunities as the game went on and just missed on those. A major key to the game was the fact we only had one throw-in violation, an area that has plagued us this season.
"The only bad thing about when everyone is playing well is deciding which 11 to have on the field, but it is a nice problem to have."

"The world has changed from quality to quantity, and so have we." ― Santosh Kalwar
Each month, as I entertain topics to write about, there is usually an idea or concept in the depths of my mind that breaks free and surfaces as conscious thought. As if to validate that I'm on the right track, the universe becomes a collaborator, laying out examples all around me.
This month quality is really on my mind. I am sorry to say, like manners and good conversation, it is a rare commodity these days. Slowly, and without anyone noticing, we have become a world full of mediocrity.
Think of the last time you had a helpful sales clerk, or got something that exceeded your expectations. And why exactly do we need dollar and mega stores filled with unending rows of needless crap? Or multi-acred supermarkets, whose healthy food choices couldn't even fill 2 aisles. Our world has become so inundated with a mass produced, flavor of the day, here today and gone tomorrow, get it cheaper mentality that we've forgotten that quantity comes at the cost of precious quality.
What defines quality? The irony is that it's hard to quantify, but when you see it, you know it. It somehow stands out above that sea of mediocrity and looks, tastes, feels or acts different. Quality is not whim, nor is it transient. It cannot be rushed, nor is it hastily tired of. It is borne of inspiration and preparation and executed with experience and skill. Quality means that someone set out to do a better job and succeeded. Being of high quality, as a product or a person, is high praise becoming a standard by which all are measured.
Quality is a reflection of what we think about ourselves. To see quality says we have value, to see quantity says we are fleeting and insignificant.
Surrounding ourselves with things of quality is not a matter of status or wealth. Rather, it is a way of establishing value in our selves and in our world. Becoming aware of how different we feel in the presence of quality makes us strive for it. When standards are high we tend to rise to the occasion, bringing out the highest versions of ourselves. When standards are low, we too follow.
Quality is not something available only to the very wealthy, but it does come at higher cost. When outwardly looking at two similar items it may not be readily apparent why one is $20 and the other is $100.00. I experience this in the interior design world all the time. I present a design product or concept and within seconds a cheaper version is pulled up on the web leaving me to explain how the two have nothing in common. Quality comes with a backstory that is not always visible. Prices are influenced by quality of materials, time devoted to product design and testing, skill of labor, care in manufacturing, attention to customer service, etc. When the cheaper option falls apart in half the time, where is it's value?
The same is true of using quality professionals. A seasoned designer, contractor or engineer commands higher prices because of the education and expertise they bring to a project. They think of all the probable pitfalls before they happen and know how to remedy them if they do. Often, the amount of collaboration, forethought and discipline required to complete a successful project is not evident until the end product is completed. While it may seem a huge expense on the front end, it's nothing compared to the cost of having costly mistakes fixed on the back end.
I believe it actually costs more when we disregard quality in our decision making process. In fact, lower quality products aren't more economical because they need more frequent replacement, which depletes resources and causes increased waste issues. From that standpoint alone buying goods of higher quality becomes our civic duty.
Lowering the qualities we look for in a job, a friend or a mate can have negative or irreversible impact on our lives and futures. Demanding quality increases our chances of stability, security and longevity and contributes to an increased quality of life.
While quality may be harder to find and take a little longer to acquire, it is never regretted once attained. When it becomes part of our lives we seek it out in everything from our food to our friends. Understanding value in all its forms gives us a unit of measure, making it easier to identify and eliminate the things we don't need. A life built around quality is a rich life indeed.

Needs are Defensive Tackler, Cover Corner, a #2 Wide Receiver and Offensive Line help. The thing that helps the Panthers is that 26 projected 1st round players were invited to the Draft and today 5 of those players are still on the board. This moves a group of players that on paper yesterday would be gone still available. Will teams be willing to move up and will the Panthers be willing to move back? Miami needs a receiver and picks 2 spots behind us and have later picks to give up, so more trades will happen.
Below are the next best 20 players still on the board:
1 Jonathan Martin OT Stanford
2.Courtney Upshaw OLB Alabama
3.Zack Brown LB UNC
4. Stephen Hill WR Georgia Tech
5. Devon Still DT Penn State
6. Kendall Reyes DT Connecticut
7. Jerel Worthy DT Michigan State
8. Coby Fleener TE Stanford
9. Cordy Glenn OG/T Georgia
10. Lavonte David ILB Nebraska
11. Ruben Randle WR LSU
12. Mike Adams OT Ohio State
13. Alshon Jeffrey WR South Carolina
14. janoris Jenkins CB N Alabama
15. Andre Branch DE Clemson
16. Bobbie Massey OT Mississippi State
17. Vinnie Curry DE Marshall
18. Josh Robinson CB Central Florida
19. Ronnell Lewis OLB Oklahoma
20. Trumaine Johnson CB Montana

"Bounty Boys" is a series of photographs made during the 2011-2012 New Orleans Saints NFL season. It was after this season that evidence of a system of paying players to deliberately injure other players came to light. Confessions, audio recordings, and investigations brought a malicious aspect of game strategy out of the locker room and into the sphere of public discourse.
What made this so scandalous was that the acts in question weren't happening off the field, but rather in front of the largest TV and in-stadium American audiences in history, with one of the most popular teams in the country committing the crimes. How could players get away with pre-meditated violence when millions were carefully placing their hopes and bets on their every move?
The answer lies in the nature of football, the backyard game that went from a league barely breaking even, to producing an estimated $10 billion in annual revenue in 50 years. A sport whose appeal relies on equal parts grace and brutality, professional football is now challenged by lawsuits related to concussions and long term brain damage, as well as the addicting effects of pain killers and performance enhancers. It is a sport so profitable that it will encourage competition by any means necessary, so violent that the results can be plainly dangerous. These moments of grace and brutality are what I captured, framed by the excitement of the fans.
