The Schweitzer autobiography, "Out of My Life and Thought," explains the ethics behind his principle: "A man is ethical only when life as such is sacred to him — the life of plants and animals as well as that of his fellow man."
Schweitzer calls one definition of ethics the "devotion of the individual to his fellow men or to the improvement of social conditions." He adds: "Advanced civilizations are marked by the ethical development of mankind."
Under that definition, the United States is unethical because it does not have universal, single-payer health insurance that other industrialized nations have.
About Christianity, Schweitzer writes: "For centuries it treasured the great commandments of love and mercy as traditional truths without opposing slavery, witch-burning, torture and all other ancient and medieval forms of inhumanity."
On torture: "Today torture has been re-established." When Schweitzer wrote, "today" was 1931. Even now the U.S. attorney general refuses to call waterboarding torture. Keepers at the Baghdad prison at Abu Ghraib exposed America to the world as torturers.
Receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953, Schweitzer declared: "If altruism, reverence for life and the idea of brotherhood can become living realities in the hearts of men, we will have laid the very foundations of a lasting peace among individuals, nations and races."
Alas, that foundation has never been laid. And it never will. Brotherhood and reverence for life are only for idealists.
Ill treatment of dogs, for example, is more prevalent in America than admitted. Although the case of National Football League star Michael Vick focused public attention on such abuse, most dog abuse is unreported.
(Vick is serving a 23-month term in prison for executing dogs that were poor fighters. Dogs at his Virginia Bad Newz farm were electrocuted, drowned, hanged and shot.)
San Francisco out front — again
It's hardly unusual for San Francisco to lead the country on progressive measures. And so it is on universal health. If Congress won't do it, San Francisco will.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that San Francisco can implement its first-in-the-nation universal health care program. The unanimous decision allows the city to require businesses with more than 20 employees to pay a fee to help cover employees' health care costs.
San Francisco officials envision that the program will ultimately provide care for about 73,000 insured adults through a network of 22 clinics. However, if the case ever reaches the Supreme Court it is a safe bet that the decision will be reversed. The Supreme Court is ever protective of corporative and business interests.
The 9th Circuit, the most liberal court in the nation, is frequently reversed by a reactionary Supreme Court. And, just recently, the Roberts Court ruled against investors who sue businesses that manipulate stock prices of publicly traded companies.
The anti-investor opinion protects banks and law firms from securities fraud lawsuits if they do business with corporations. It was written by Justice Kennedy joined by four other Republican politicians: Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas and Alito.
Justice Stevens, dissenting for "the good guys," rightly noted that the Retrograde Five is continuing its campaign to undercut investor lawsuits.
Judge Stephen Reinhardt, one of the three judges issuing the 9th Circuit ruling, may be more liberal than any other federal judge. He was once reversed five times in a single term by the Supreme Court.
And, Reinhardt often criticized President Clinton for not placing more liberals and minorities on U.S. courts to battle right-wingers appointed by Presidents Reagan, Bush I and Bush II.
Bad newspaper evidence
Exhibit Z on why the Reno Gazette-Journal is such a bad paper was offered in evidence Jan. 10. On its front page that day it gave the Sierra snowpack the main play then said virtually the same thing in another story on page 2. It also ran two photographs with the stories.
Meanwhile, on a far more significant story, the RGJ devoted just four sentences on page one to a report by Education Week that Nevada's K-12 schools got a D+ and ranked 46th in the nation.

To her right were six makeshift mini-bars each with about a half a dozen offerings of craft beer, many with little-known names and some in unexpected flavors and bright hues. To Sage's left were dozens of tables where people gathered to taste the ales while a band played popular music on a small stage. Everyone was enjoying the atmosphere at the Autumn Suds-Fest put on annually by the Berman Museum of World History.
"I've never been to anything like this," Sage said, and then described the beer's flavor. "It tastes just like banana bread at first and then it just tastes like beer."
On account of rain earlier in the day, the event this year was held in a former gymnasium space at the emerging botanical gardens complex up the hill from the Berman.
The event has served as a fundraiser for the Anniston museum since the first one was held nine years ago. The event has grown steadily, raising roughly $12,000 for the museum last year. It typically attracts between 400 and 500 people each year.
"This particular event really exploded a few years back. It would make some (money) in the early years, but it was not as big as it is now," said David Ford, business development coordinator at the Berman Museum, in recent interview with The Star.
Each year Alabama-based beer distributors provide the ale and area restaurants provide food, all for a flat rate at the door. This year tickets for the event ranged from $20 to $35.
"It's a way for them to get out and try some beers and not have to have that six pack at home that they just don't like," said Syndee Isbell, a sales representative with International Wines and Craft Beer. "I've done a ton of wine events like this but this is my first beer experience."
Food vendors and beer distributors said the event gives them the chance to introduce their products to a new audience and to a new market.
Organizers said attendance shot up a few years ago when state law changed to allow high gravity craft beer to be sold in Alabama. Since then the sale of specialty beer has become more common and small breweries have begun cropping up.
"For this event, what I'm seeing, is people are more open to new beer," said Gina Morey, programs manager for the museum complex. "It's almost like wine tasting."
While ticket sales have been increasing regularly in recent years, they dropped this year. Morey said the museum sold about 400 tickets this year, about 50 fewer than were sold last year.
She said organizers can't say why ticket sales slid.
"We just try to keep it consistent," Morey said.
Hobson City resident Karren Burks came has been attending the event for about five years. Burks said she learned to appreciate craft beers after being introduced to them at the event a few years ago.
"My taste buds are totally blown away by it," she said. It has that zest to it."

With Clay Matthews back, the Packers have their best run defender.
In the four full games that Matthews was out of the lineup with his injured hamstring, the Packers allowed 110 rushing yards against Detroit, 147 against the Giants, 240 against the Vikings and 135 against the Lions. Here's the math: In four games without Matthews, Green Bay allowed 158 rushing yards per game and five touchdowns. In the 10 games with Matthews, Green Bay allowed 96.8 rushing yards per game and six touchdowns — including 83 yards and no touchdowns in his return last week at Chicago.
"Clay's an all-around player," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. "You could put Clay at inside linebacker, you could put Clay at outside linebacker, and it wouldn't make any difference. He plays hard, he's smart, he's instinctive, he's got really good quick-twitch, he's strong. He can be disruptive in the run game because he's not afraid to go down there and use two blocks. If you've got a guy that's using up two blocks, then you've got a guy free."
What allows Matthews to be so strong against the run while facing an offensive tackle who outweighs him by 60 or 70 or 80 pounds?
"What separates physical people is their ability to master the fundamentals and technique," outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene said. "The way we play our outside linebackers, they're essentially defensive ends in a four-man front in nickel and dime. Yes, we're outgunned by the offensive tackles when they come out and fan block. The way we defeat those blocks is by striking them first with fundamental- and technique-sound football. There are things we work on consistently and drill every day at practice to defeat those blocks. There's a way to do it: A, ass-kicking physicality and, B, you kick someone's ass with the right technique and fundamentals."
Thanks to allowing just 47 points during their three-game winning streak, the Packers are ninth in the league in scoring defense with 20.9 per game. Under Capers, they finished seventh in 2009 (18.6 per game), second in 2010 (15.0) but 19th in 2011 (22.4).
"To me, it's the most important statistic," Capers said. "All that other stuff doesn't matter. The most important stat is how many points you give up because it gives you the best chance to win. Our goal always is to lead the league in scoring defense. The year we won the Super Bowl, we were No. 2. If you've got an offense that can score and a defense that doesn't give up many points, you're probably going to win."
It's a remarkable accomplishment. Desmond Bishop didn't play a snap all season and his replacement, D.J. Smith, was lost for the season in Week 6. Charles Woodson will miss his eighth consecutive game on Sunday. C.J. Wilson will miss his fourth consecutive game. Matthews missed four games. Cornerbacks Sam Shields and Davon House missed six games apiece. First-round pick Nick Perry's season ended with a knee injury in Week 6. B.J. Raji missed two games.
"We've got guys that are team guys and guys that do their jobs," Capers said. "My experience tells me that if you've got guys who are unselfish and do their job and they understand where they fit in, then it's going ot make you better. I think we've gotten better. Now, we've got to find a way to play our best these last two games."
Regardless of his own playoff history, Packers coach Mike McCarthy wants a first-round bye. Given the length of the injury list, it's a logical desire. To get it, the Packers will need to climb over the 49ers, who have a challenging game at Seattle on Sunday.
"We have our foot on the gas," McCarthy said this week. "We're focused on winning games and improving as a football team. But we want the bye week. Make no bones about it."
Woodson, however, had a different perspective.
"Last year, we were a different team," he said. "I think this year's team is mentally tougher than last year's team, for whatever reason. With that being said, the way we've been playing and the way we've been winning games, we have a couple games left to get ourselves ready. I don't really feel like having a week off helps us. We have some guys going through some injuries or whatever who'll be able to get back. As far as the team itself, we're playing well, why stop?"
Recent history is on Woodson's side, with five of the last seven champions having to play on wild-card weekend. Last year, the Giants won the Super Bowl as the No. 4 seed. In 2010, the Packers won the Super Bowl as the No. 6. The champions in 2009 (New Orleans) and 2008 (Pittsburgh) had a bye, but the 2007 Giants were the No. 5, the 2006 Colts were the No. 3 and the 2005 Steelers were the No. 6.
Other than Davon House and Jerron McMillian being alert to Brandon Marshall staying on the field as the Bears lined up for a field goal and Tim Masthay's clutch punt that buried the Bears for good, the Packers had a bad week on special teams.
"I am disappointed in our performance (on Sunday)," special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum said. "I thought it was not to our standard overall. I thought there was a couple of positive things, I thought they tried to run the hide play on us on the field goal there late and we sniffed that out, and I thought our punt execution there putting them on the 3-yard line there at the end of the game was outstanding. But I thought the return game was bad, and we gave up a couple returns that we shouldn't have. We just have to make sure that we play to our standard and we're well-capable of doing that and I look forward to playing the next few games."
They'll be challenged again this week.
Tennessee averages a 12th-ranked 25.0 yards per kickoff return and fifth-ranked 11.2 per punt return, with a touchdown on each. The Titans have one blocked punt this season and 11 since Alan Lowry took over as coordinator in 1999. Only Tampa Bay (12) has blocked more punts in that span. And while Mason Crosby struggles — he's missed as many field goals as the eight most-accurate kickers in the league — Rob Bironas is fourth in NFL history with 85.5 percent accuracy on field goals and second at 75.4 percent from 40-plus yards and 71.0 percent from 50-plus.
— Statistically, the Titans have a bad defense, but the stats don't tell the whole story. Since getting crushed 51-20 by Chicago on Nov. 4, Tennessee ranks third in yards allowed (285.8 per game) and fourth in points allowed (17.6).
"The last six, seven weeks, I think the defense is really starting to play the way they're capable of," second-year Titans coach Mike Munchak said in a conference call. "I thought the first part of the season, I thought we struggled, for a lot of reasons, but I think the last six or seven you see more of what we thought we'd see all year. They're applying a lot of good pressure. They're winning up front. We have more sacks than we had last year, we have more interceptions than we had last year. I can see us starting to come together and this will be a huge, huge test for a young defense to see how we do against a great quarterback and some very good receivers and an offense that can put a lot of points on the board, especially at home."
— One of the outside linebacker prospects linked to the Packers before the draft was Zach Brown. Playing defensive end in the Titans' 4-3 scheme, the 52nd overall selection had two sacks last week and has five for the season.
— From 1996 through 2012, the Titans have a league-high 15, 1000-yard rushing seasons. The Jets (13) and Bengals (12) are next on the list. Johnson is seventh in the league with 1,159 yards this season. Earl Campbell (39), Eddie George (36) and Johnson (33) make the Titans the only team in NFL history with three running backs with 30-plus 100-yard rushing games.
— Listed on Page 16 of the Titans' pregame packet, Munchak's favorite movie is "It's a Wonderful Life," his favorite athlete as a child was Bart Starr and his "favorite sports uniform other than your own" is Green Bay's.
— He's the backup, but Matt Hasselbeck is part of some exclusive company. Hasselbeck's career started as a sixth-round pick by Green Bay in 1998. Among quarterbacks who entered the league in the sixth round or later, he ranks fourth in passing yards with 34,517. Warren Moon (49,325) tops the list. Two more players with Wisconsin ties: Dave Krieg, who played at Milton (Wis.) College is third with 28,147 and Kurt Warner, who was an undrafted rookie with Green Bay in 1994, is seventh with 32,334.
"Matt's come in (and) it's pretty easy for me as a (first-time) head coach," Munchak said in a conference call. "He was a huge help to me the way he took over the team, the leader he was. We were 9-7 last year, a lot of that was because of him. What he was able to accomplish and his leadership and putting a system in with the lockout, he just did a great job helping us last year. And he's handled this whole transition well. He's got a great relationship, he and Jake (Locker). I think he sees this as like he's his little brother."
— Of the eight head coaches hired last year, Munchak (9-7) had more wins than all of them besides San Francisco's Jim Harbaugh (13-3). A Pro Football Hall of Fame guard for the Houston Oilers, Munchak didn't start playing offensive line until converted by Joe Paterno at Penn State. Speaking of Paterno, Munchak is the only one of his former players to become an NFL head coach.
— Munchak is the 16th Hall of Fame player to become an NFL head coach. Since the 1970 merger, there have been just seven: Raymond Berry, Mike Ditka, Forrest Gregg, Art Shell, Mike Singletary and Bart Starr.
— Historically, the Titans haven't been in awe of Lambeau Field. Including their days as the Houston Oilers, the franchise is 4-1 in Green Bay. The Titans' last stop at Lambeau was a Monday night in 2004, with Brett Favre throwing three interceptions and the Packers losing three fumbles in a 48-27 loss.
— The NFL is all about situational football, and that's where the Titans have struggled. Tennessee is tied for 23rd in red zone offense with touchdowns on 48.5 percent of their possessions inside the 20-yard line and is tied for 26th in red zone defense with 60.0 touchdowns. And speaking of situational football, Aaron Rodgers has thrown 14 touchdown passes on third down. The Titans have thrown 16 touchdown passes – total.
— Keep this mind on a cold day at Lambeau Field: Since 2005, the Titans are 28-0 when plus-2 in turnovers. And if it's close, the Titans are 3-0 in games decided by three points or less this season. Then again, the Titans are 23rd in scoring (20.4 per game) and have been held to 14 points or less in seven games.
— Both teams can make opponents pay for throwing a bad pass. The Titans are fifth in the league with interceptions on 3.3 percent of passes. Green Bay is ninth with an interception rate of 3.1 percent.
— Green Bay hasn't lost a regular-season home finale under McCarthy, and its seven-game winning streak dating to 2005 is second-longest in the league behind Baltimore (nine). In fact, the Packers are 19-1 in their last 20 home finales.
— Think the Titans have a huge edge in the run game because of Johnson? Think again. The Titans have rushed for 1,529 yards, a 109.2-yard average. The Packers have rushed for 1,513 yards, an average of 108.1 per game.
— There's a theory that the Packers are better off playing in a dome or some warm-weather climate for the playoffs. There might be something to that, but the Packers are 15-2 at home in in December and January regular-season home games under McCarthy. Only New England (15-1) is better.
— Tennessee ranks just 21st in passing, has four starting offensive linemen out with injuries and will be without their top two pass catchers (Kendall Wright and Jared Cook). That bodes well for a Green Bay pass defense that has held four opponents to less than 120 net passing yards. That's tied with San Francisco and Seattle for tops in the league. Green Bay held Chicago to 107 net passing yards last week.
— Rodgers has a streak of 37 consecutive games without throwing two interceptions. The last time was Oct. 24, 2010, against Minnesota. Not surprisingly for the quarterback with the lowest interception percentage in NFL history, that's a league record. Neil O'Donnell went 27 consecutive games from 1997 through 1999.
Or, the best quote that we couldn't use in a story:
"You look at the teams who have to clinch with these last couple of games, obviously it gives them something to play for, gives them that extra edge over the teams that don't have something to play for. For us, I think we're a perfect example of the 2010 season and then going back to last season, when we had it locked up and then going back to this season where we have the playoffs locked up but I know we're also playing for the bye week. Hopefully, it gives us added incentive to go out there and win. Hopefully, it helps us out. Ultimately, you play each and every week for a win and hopefully in this case it helps us out." — Matthews, on the team keeping its edge even with a division title wrapped up.

The original OWC Mercury Accelsior has been a phenomenal product. To put it simply, those who've used it – they never look back. However, we wanted to improve upon the Accelsior's design by offering both internal and external storage capability, so earlier this week we announced the OWC Mercury Accelsior_E2.
This new Accelsior model again offers extremely fast internal storage and adds fast external storage capability with the addition of two 6Gb/s eSATA expansion interfaces. Now you truly can have the best combination of speed, capacity, and connectivity for simultaneous internal and external storage performance.
And you aren't limited to needing to have an available PCIe slot in a Mac Pro or PC to benefit from the Accelsior_E2. By installing it into an OWC Mercury Helios Thunderbolt expansion chassis, you can turn the Accelsior_E2 into the ultimate external SSD for Thunderbolt technology enabled Mac mini, iMac ,and MacBook machines.
"So, how does it perform?" you might be asking yourself. We've put the OWC Mercury Accelsior_E2 through its paces here at the OWC Test Lab and here's what we've come up with: Article Continues…

If you've got an iPhone 4S that's starting to show its age or you've accidentally damaged it, there's still hope for it. Whether you're not eligible for an upgrade yet or just want to hold out for the next round of Apple's latest and greatest, we can help get every ounce of life you possibly can out of your iPhone 4S. Even after you decide to upgrade your iPhone, your old one always makes a great hand me down for a child or relative that doesn't always need the latest model.
iMore will help you get the longest life possible out of your iPhone 4S, and walk you step by step through all the major repairs, with detailed instructions, photographs, and links to high quality parts from suppliers we trust.
Click on any of the guides below in order to be taken to a description of that guide explaining common symptoms, diagnostics pertaining to each repair, and a link to each full guide. Remember to bookmark this page as we'll be adding more as we add new guides.
Now that the iPhone 4S is more than a year old, many users may want to change their battery if their charge cycles aren't what they used to be. A bad battery can also cause your iPhone 4S not to boot at all. So if your iPhone doesn't want to turn on at all, the battery is a good place to start.
This one doesn't need any introduction and is one of the most common DIY repairs for any clumsy iPhone user. If you've shattered your screen, you've come to the right place.
This guide will also work to replace the LCD since they're one piece. Whether your touch screen isn't working, you've cracked your glass, or you have a distorted or non-functional LCD, this is the guide you'll want.
The Home button is a common problem for all iPhone owners, and the iPhone 4S is no exception. If your iPhone is misreading double, triple, and single taps, the Home button flex cable is probably going bad. In some cases, your Home button can stop responding altogether.
If this sounds like a problem you're experience, we've got you covered from start to finish.
The power button has been a common issue since the iPhone 4 made its appearance. The iPhone 4S isn't immune to the same issues either. Symptoms can include a recessed power button. Sometimes the power button will still function but you'll have to push down extremely hard in order to get it to register. In severe cases, pressing it is futile and results in no response.
A DIY repair can remedy the issue but be aware this is a ninja level repair as the components and cable you have to replace are very small. If you're up for it, hit the link directly below to find out how to fix a recessed or unresponsive power button.
The dock connector assembly in the iPhone 4S controls quite a few key components in your phone. The most important one being the ability to charge your iPhone. If your iPhone 4S won't register a charge or doesn't show up when plugged into your computer, the dock connector could very likely be the culprit.
There is also a mic located on the dock connector that can affect sound issues. If any of these issues sound like something you're experiencing, make sure you check out our guide to see if it's the right one. If not, keep reading.
While most sound in the iPhone 4S may be dictated by the loud speaker assembly or earpiece, they're not the only components that have to do with sound. Actually, the dock connector and a few other cables can cause you to have sound issues.
The iPhone 4S is known to have sound issues where system sounds seem to work when you preview them but they don't actually ring or system sounds altogether don't work but music will play. Sound weird? It is. But there's a fix for it.
If you're experiencing issues with cellular reception on your iPhone 4S, the cellular antenna could be defective. Luckily, it's one of the easier DIY repairs when it comes to the iPhone 4S variant. If everything else on your iPhone is working perfectly, a replacement antenna will cost you a lot less than a brand new phone.
The vibrator assembly is a super essential function and necessary if you want to be notified you have a call or a message coming in when you can't have sound activated. If and when it goes out, it can be terribly inconvenient.
While it isn't the easiest DIY repair when it comes to the iPhone 4S, it's not impossible and it'll cost you tons less than a new iPhone.
While most people use their iPhone to communicate, one of the iPhone 4S' best features is arguably its camera. It makes everything from photographing first steps to family events to sending videos straight to YouTube super simple and crystal clear. So when it goes out, it's a huge problem.
While it isn't common, it can happen from time to time. But never fear, it's actually a very easy repair to perform on your own. Most will be able to do it and everyone will be able to afford it.
While the rear facing camera is great for capturing the memories around you, the front facing camera is a great way to communicate with relatives via FaceTime and capture self portraits. If you frequently use your front facing camera and it has decided to stop working on you, we can get it up and running again.
Symptoms of a bad front facing camera typically amount to the shutter never opening no matter how many times you restore the phone or reboot it. In rare instances you can also see lots of distortion or lines through the screen only when the front facing camera is open.
The earpiece is another common repair we get a lot of questions about. A bad earpiece can present itself in multiple ways. The most common being garbled, echoing, or unpleasant audio. In some instances you may not even hear any audio unless you've got the caller on speakerphone.
Luckily, an earpiece replacement is on the cheap side and isn't terribly hard to perform on your own. If you aren't ready to upgrade just yet, a DIY repair for an earpiece is a realistic option for many users.
If you've dropped your iPhone 4S, you may have noticed that the steel frame around edges can become quite sharp. If one of the volume buttons has become ridged or jagged, it could potentially be a safety issue.
Replacing them will require some patience but we're pretty sure your fingers will thank you.
A bad loud speaker can cause all kinds of issues with the iPhone 4S. Music, ringtones, and text tones will most likely not play unless you have headphones plugged in.
While it's unusual for the actual loud speaker assembly to go bad, it isn't unheard of. In our experience it's normally the dock connector or earpiece that are the culprit but that doesn't mean the loud speaker never decides to be unruly. If you have absolutely no sounds through the loud speaker portion of your iPhone 4S but everything works completely normal through headphones, then odds are your loud speaker assembly has in fact went out.
If a combination of sounds work through the loud speaker, we'd suggest looking at our other guides concerning sound instead of assuming it's the loud speaker.
While this guide covers the iPhone 4S specifically, we've got tons more DIY repair guides to cover everything from older iPhones to iPod touches and iPads. If these aren't the guides you're looking for, fret not! You can find more at the links below.
If you've run into issues performing a repair on your own or have questions in general, our mod and DIY forums are a great place to start. If you still can't find answers to your questions, you can also email us and we'll try and answer whatever questions you may have.

wow that was totally helpful,thanks a lot
I feel like to be a pro repairman and earn cash from this amazing guide.
Another good iPhone repair roundup Allyson. Whenever I get a customer in my shop that doesn't have the money for me to repair their iPhone, I point them in your direction. And quite a few have emailed me back saying how easy it was to follow your tutorials.

A Vision For Excellence: Strategic Planning For Athletics
University of North Georgia Athletics Five-Year
Business Plan - Fiscal Years 2013 through 2018
The University of North Georgia - Dahlonega campus - is a fully diversified university with a student body of more than 6,000 students. A unit of the University System of Georgia, North Georgia was founded in 1873 and holds distinction as a state leadership institution. The historic town of Dahlonega, GA, has expanded dramatically in recent years to support the growth of the student body and faculty.
In January 2013, North Georgia College & State University
merged with Gainesville State College to form the University of
North Georgia. The result of this consolidation created a student
population of 15,000 plus students across four campuses. These
campuses are located in Dahlonega, Cumming, Gainesville and
Watkinsville, GA. The role that the athletics program will play in
unifying these four campuses will be pivotal to the success of the
new institution, the University of North Georgia.
"Athletics is essential to help the university build community to support all of our endeavors," said Lindsay Reeves, Director of Athletics. "We have excellent student-athletes who compete at the highest levels and need facilities to match this."
To enable our student-athletes and coaches to continue their ascent in both the classroom and as true challengers in the Peach Belt Conference, the University of North Georgia, in conjunction with the Athletic Department has launched the A Vision For Excellence strategic plan. A Vision For Excellence is the largest plan ever at North Georgia to focus on athletic facility renovations and program endowments, providing our student-athletes and coaches with the resources necessary to be successful both academically and athletically on the field of competition.
The A Vision For Excellence plan focuses on three strategic areas:
Continue to Improve Our Facilities – In the next five years we want to enhance our existing sports venues so that our student-athletes will be competing in among the most contemporary facilities in the PBC.
Attract the Finest Coaches & Student-Athletes – We must continue to raise the scholarship and other funds necessary to recruit both the best coaches as well as the most athletically and academically qualified students available.
Operations - Additional funding will provide the security of access to the equipment, training and travel monies needed for our coaches and athletes to perform at the highest level.
Like all public colleges and universities in Georgia, the University of North Georgia receives no financial support for athletic facilities from the State of Georgia. Thus, the Department of Athletics must raise the money for facilities, scholarships and operations either through private funding or student activity/athletic fees. Interestingly, some of North Georgia's competitors in the PBC are in states that do fund athletic facilities. South Carolina is one such example.
The funding challenge is further complicated by the limits to which the University can charge an athletic fee. Even with one of the highest fee rates in the University System of Georgia, the University of North Georgia - Dahlonega Campus still falls short in athletics funding. Athletic fees will simply not provide the means necessary to fund capital improvements.
To be sure, the A Vision For Excellence plan
will have a tremendous impact on athletics at the University of
North Georgia - Dahlonega Campus, as it will promote unprecedented
revenue growth.
"This project is more than an effort to improve athletics facilities. It is about the continued development of the university as a regional academic and athletic power and its ability to continue to attract the best and brightest students," said President Bonita C. Jacobs. "I am convinced these improvements will move North Georgia forward."
Each of the facilities projects listed below will not only take North Georgia athletics to another level of training and competition, but will also make available to the community athletic venues capable of attracting conference, regional and national events. A driving force for local and regional economic development, state-of-the-art athletic facilities will bring about an improved quality of life, a strong sense of community pride and an enhanced image of North Georgia as an institution.
North Georgia
Athletic Complex
The A Vision For Excellence plan includes $10 million in new construction and renovations at the North Georgia Athletic Complex which is located off Morrison Moore Parkway (currently home of the men's and women's soccer, baseball and softball teams). It is important to note that this $10 million is NOT part of the funding projections needed for renovations and other work done to Memorial Hall.
Since its inception in 1998, North Georgia has worked hard to make the North Georgia Athletic Complex one of the most beautifully located and designed athletic facilities in the country. However, there remains work to be done as we endeavor to have a first class facility.
Baseball/Softball Field House - SCHEDULED FOR
Kicking off the A Vision for Excellence plan is construction of the Coleman Fieldhouse for baseball/softball. Coleman Fieldhouse, which will support the baseball and softball programs at North Georgia, would not be possible without the generous support of the University of North Georgia, brothers George, Richard and Larry Coleman, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Stringer, Mr. Scott Head, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Hardman and Dr. John and Mrs. Mary Helen McGruder.
A 5,000 square ft. facility, the Baseball/Softball Field House will be at the North Georgia Athletic Complex and will feature:
- Public restrooms
- Concessions
- Baseball and Softball locker rooms with team meeeting rooms
- Baseball and Softball coaches and assistant coaches offices
- Remote Athletic Training facility
- Umpire locker room
Soccer Field House
Renovations to the soccer portion of the UNG Athletic Complex will be the next phase of the project and will include a similiar field house featuring:
- Public restrooms
- Men's and women's locker rooms with team lounges
- Coaches and assistant coaches offices
- Athletic Training facility
- Meeting Room / Hospitality Suite
- Referee locker room
Shared Indoor Hitting Facility
- Multi sport use including baseball, golf, soccer, softball and tennis
- State-of-the-art video system for sports performance analysis
- Climate controlled indoor facility
Future Projects
- Synthetic field turf on baseball, softball and soccer fields
- Hospitality suite at Bob Stein Stadium
- Hospitality suite at Haines and Carolyn Hill Stadium
- Lighting set to NCAA standards on baseball, softball and soccer fields
- Tennis Complex featuring 10 Courts and field house with hospitality suite
- Additional Parking
Memorial Hall
Memorial Hall, completed in 1960 as a multipurpose facility designed to house both North Georgia's athletics and military programs, currently houses classroom space, the men's and women's basketball programs, as well as a variety of coaches, athletic administration and faculty offices. Initially built for a student population of approximately 1,000, today Memorial Hall serves approximately 6,000 students.
The renovations needed at Memorial Hall are not part of the improvements planned for the North Georgia Athletic Complex. We are making minor improvements in Memorial Hall in anticipation of major renovation work to the building in the future. Because the building houses classroom space, the use of state funds for renovations is feasible. Short of a major overhaul of the space, which may take several years to fund, certain specific projects have been identified to make the building more conducive to recruiting student athletes and hosting guests at athletic and other events.
- Men's and Women's Locker Room renovations/relocated
- Training Facilities (Weight Room) - equipment purchase and replacement
- Main entrance/lobby renovations
- Gym Floor Refinished - SCHEDULED FOR COMPLETION IN SUMMER OF 2013
- Chair back seating installed - COMPLETED PRIOR TO 2012-2013 SEASON
- Reception/Hospitality Suite
- Improved lighting
- Improved sound system
Scholarship Endowment
Each of North Georgia's 12 athletic teams is allotted a maximum number of scholarships by the NCAA. Last season, North Georgia provided approximately 60% of that maximum number, which was the fifth lowest number of scholarships awarded in the Peach Belt Conference. Further, not only has the competition for the most talented student-athletes continued to rise, but North Georgia's academic standards are among the highest in the Peach Belt Conference.
Currently, a full scholarship at North Georgia is valued at approximately $25,000 annually. This figure includes tuition, books, room and board. At current market returns, it takes approximately $500,000 to fully fund an annual scholarship. In comparison, $25,000 will endow a scholarship of approximately $1,000 annually.
Our hope is to give our student-athletes the opportunity to succeed in and out of the classroom while enjoying college life here at North Georgia. Your donation to scholarships is greatly appreciated and is one of the most important ways to show your pride and support for North Georgia Athletics.

Public assessments of the Supreme Court have reached a quarter-century low. Unlike evaluations over much of the past decade, there is very little partisan divide. The court receives relatively low favorable ratings from Republicans, Democrats and independents alike.
The survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted April 4-15, 2012 among 1,514 adults nationwide, finds 52% offering a favorable opinion of the Supreme Court, down from 58% in 2010 and the previous low of 57%, in 2005 and 2007. About three-in-ten (29%) say they have an unfavorable view, which approaches the high reached in 2005 (30%).

Record man Messi: 301 and counting
Barcelona achieved a deserved 1-2 win against Granada at Los Carmenes in Matchday 24 of La Liga. Lionel Messi (brace) scored the goals for the Blaugrana, who enjoyed 72 percent of possession and attempted 18 shots, six of them on target and one to the post.
- Messi rallies Barcelona to win
If you didn't watch the game, you may think this was yet another easy win for Barcelona -- you would be wrong. In fact, the Blaugrana had to fight tremendously for these three points against an incredibly disciplined, aggressive home team who were ultimately beaten by the better side but can hold their heads high nonetheless.
Barcelona started the game in their usual style, dominating possession and looking for an eventual opening in the rival defence. Surprisingly, though, and following yet another clamorous Alexis Sanchez miss, Granada managed to score first following a quick counterattack.
Sure, Odion Ighalo was probably offside, but that cannot divert any attention from the key problem here: Once again, Barcelona received an early goal against a team who had created nothing until that point.
With the whole world's media eagerly awaiting Messi's 300th goal for Barcelona, he actually became more of a playmaker due to the absences of Xavi (injured) and Andres Iniesta (initially rested) during the first half.
After the halftime break, though, he cleverly stepped up and took the goalscoring responsibility once again. His milestone goal was certainly not his prettiest, but it has already reserved its place in the Barcelona record books. Not just happy with the first goal, La Pulga then went one step further with a classy, accurate free kick which ultimately gave Barcelona their 21st win in 24 La Liga matches this season.
Messi has now scored 301 times in just 365 appearances, a mind-blowing 0.82 goals per match. The brace against Granada takes his current goal-scoring streak to a record 14 consecutive league matches, making his tally 37 in the domestic competition. The fact that only the entire teams of Atletico and Real Madrid have scored more than La Pulga alone is simply unreal.
From a more general team perspective, the inevitable truth is that the Blaugrana are reaching the crucial stage of the season and can simply not afford to drop the level of concentration that has taken them to a privileged position at this stage. While the team continues to grab win after win, the fact that the Blaugrana have conceded at least one goal in their previous La Liga and Copa del Rey fixtures must be considered as a constant reminder that these positive results haven't come easily.
With eight matches to be played in the next 28 days, which include two clashes against Real Madrid in La Liga and the Copa del Rey, plus AC Milan in the Champions League, there is just no time to look back or celebrate any records.
The way in which Tito Vilanova and Jordi Roura rotate the squad in the near future must ensure all key players remain fresh enough to face the remaining challenges in all competitions, especially now that the usual high-intensity training period after the Christmas break has come to an end.
Looking forward to facing the Rossoneri at the mighty San Siro on Wednesday!
Player Ratings (0-10; 10=best)
Victor Valdes (7) -- Solid. Produced a quality save in the dying moments of the match which ensured the Blaugrana came out victorious.
Dani Alves (7) -- Continued his recent great form with a remarkable attacking performance from the right flank.
Adriano (5) -- Definitely not his best display of the season, but contributed fairly well with his generous effort. Substituted before halftime with a thigh muscle problem.
Gerard Pique (7) -- Looked comfortable for most of the match, rarely beaten. Ensured Barcelona's attacking game started calmly from the back line.
Javier Mascherano (7) -- Confident. Always eager to force the Granada forwards into mistakes thanks to his relentless pressing.
Sergio Busquets (6) -- As usual, the Catalan youngster was the glue that kept the Blaugrana midfield together with well-timed defensive tackles and quick attacking combinations.
Cesc Fabregas (8) -- The most creative midfield player today. His ability to rotate between the lines, interchange positions with Messi and widen the pitch from deep with clever diagonal runs kept the Catalans alive.
Thiago Alcantara (6) -- An efficient display overall, although his passing was slightly inaccurate at times. The La Masia graduate started his second consecutive match for the first time this season, a clear sign of the growing status he is achieving within the squad.
Lionel Messi (9) -- Another masterclass appearance to add to his overflowing, golden portfolio. Rescued Barcelona when the team needed it the most. Whichever way you try to analyse it, what the tiny genius from Rosario continues to achieve on a weekly basis is brutal, awesome, tremendous and legendary. Words simply escape me, so let's just drop a number here: 301.
Alexis Sanchez (4) -- Another disappointing performance from a very unsettled player. You can't deny his effort, but the goals are just not coming easily enough. The fact that Cristian Tello had a clearly higher impact in just 29 minutes of football shows that the time to give other forwards a chance may be closer than ever.
Pedro Rodriguez (8) -- Continuously involved in most Blaugrana attacks, creating endless problems for the Granada defenders. Must be annoyed after hitting the post with a wonderfully clean strike from midrange.
Substitutes: Jordi Alba (6), Andres Iniesta (6), Cristian Tello (7)

She abandoned her half-filled grocery cart at the store and went straight over to pick up her kids. The snow was falling gently but steadily. As a newcomer to the area, she'd heard horror stories about snowstorms in Cleburne County from relatives. Lindsey didn't want to take any chances. But the roads were already slippery by the time she and her three children were headed to their home between Heflin and Ranburne half an hour later.
"We pulled off of 78 onto 9 and that's where I got stuck the first time," Lindsey said. "One of the men that lived in there, he pushed my truck so I could get into the middle lane so I could get to rolling again."
But about 3 or 4 miles from her house, Lindsey got stuck again — this time sideways on Cleburne County Road 19 about half a mile past County Road 118. Some Micaville firefighters stopped and pushed her truck to the side of the road, Lindsey said. But they couldn't help her further because the firefighters were responding to a wreck farther down the road, Lindsey said.
She and her children stayed in the truck while she called relatives to see if they could come get them.
"My kids were freaking out; I was just trying to keep calm for them," Lindsey said. "I said, if we have to, well we'll just try to walk on."
But within about half an hour, a good Samaritan in a Hummer arrived and drove the family home, Lindsey said.
Lindsey was one of dozens of motorists involved in accidents or stranded on Cleburne County roadways after more than 2 inches of snow fell in the area Tuesday.
Cleburne County EMA Director Steve Swafford Tuesday said there were multiple accidents across the county. Tow truck services were overwhelmed with calls, he said.
"We have exhausted our EMS and fire resources," Swafford said. "There are folks slid off everywhere and where they're slid off they're going to be there a while."
The city of Heflin closed its city streets, and Swafford said the county engineer had declared county roads impassable.
Heflin police Chief A.J. Benefield said Wednesday afternoon the department had responded to or assisted Alabama State Troopers with 27 wrecks since 11 a.m. Tuesday, and the calls were still coming.
"We're assisting the Troopers right now with two wrecks on I-20," Benefield said.
He said state troopers could not get to the wrecks in their vehicles, so Heflin officers took them in a four-wheel-drive SUV and the city's humvee.
Tuesday afternoon, the city of Heflin opened its Recreation Center on Coleman Street as a warming center for stranded motorists. Two people from Haralson County, Ga., on their way to Jacksonville made their way to the center after becoming stuck at the Jack's Restaurant in Heflin, said Tammy Perry, director of Heflin's Parks and Recreation Department.
"Jack's closed and they needed some place to go," said Mayor Rudy Rooks.
The Recreation Center closed about 6 p.m., after the Heflin Baptist Church opened an overnight shelter, Perry said.
Bobby Bailey, chairman of deacons for the church, said the shelter took in five people who had become stranded on the interstate.
"The police brought some and the National Guard brought some," Bailey said. "We provide a warm, safe place to sleep and hot meals."
Bailey said the church opened the shelter at about 4 p.m. It was manned by church members and staff from the Department of Human Resources. It closed at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, he said.
The church has opened as a shelter numerous times over the years for tornado and hurricane alerts, Bailey said. However, it hasn't opened for a snow emergency since 1993, he added.
Ryan Robertson, Cleburne County Probate Judge, decided to close the Cleburne County Courthouse at noon on Tuesday. It remained closed Wednesday, but he said at least the probate office and the court will open at noon on Thursday. Heflin City Hall closed Wednesday and will remain closed Thursday, Rooks said.
The Street Department worked Wednesday to clear the streets, but "it was really too froze to do much good," he said. The city streets remained closed Wednesday and overnight, Rooks said.
"We just want everybody to just stay safe," Rooks said. "Just kind of hunker down at home until this mess clears up."
According to the National Weather Service office in Calera, that should start happening Thursday.
Kristina Sumrall, observing program leader, said temperatures will warm enough for ice and snow to melt.
"Between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., it should be sun-up and temperatures warming up to about freezing," Sumrall said.
The predicted high for Thursday is the upper 30s, she said.
That may allow the stranded motorists to start recovering their vehicles.
Lindsey's car was still on County Road 19 on Wednesday. She was unsure when she would be able to pick it up.
"I had to leave it and I hope nobody's broke into it or anything," Lindsey said.

Tokyo Shopping
Tokyo is Japan's showcase. The crazy clothing styles, obscure electronics, and new games found here are capable of setting trends for the rest of the country—and perhaps the rest of Asia, and even Europe and America.
Part of the Tokyo shopping experience is simply to observe, and on Saturday especially, in districts like the Ginza and Shinjuku, you will notice that the Japanese approach to shopping can be nothing short of feverish. You'll probably want to resist the urge to join in the fray, especially since many of the wildly trendy clothes and accessories on offer will already be "uncool" by the time you get home. But shopping in Tokyo can also be an exercise in elegance and refinement, especially if you shop for items that are Japanese-made for Japanese people and sold in stores that don't cater to tourists. With brilliantly applied color, balance of form, and superb workmanship, crafts items can be exquisite and well worth the price you'll pay—and some can be quite expensive.
Note the care taken with items after you purchase them, especially in department stores and boutiques. Goods will be wrapped, wrapped again, bagged, and sealed. Sure, the packaging can be excessive—does anybody really need three plastic bags for one croissant?—but such a focus on presentation has deep roots in Japanese culture.
This focus on presentation also influences salespeople who are invariably helpful and polite. In the larger stores they greet you with a bow when you arrive, and many of them speak at least enough English to help you find what you're looking for. There's a saying in Japan: o-kyaku-sama wa kami-sama, "the customer is a god"—and since the competition for your business is fierce, people do take it to heart.
Horror stories abound about prices in Japan—and some of them are true. Yes, European labels can cost a fortune here, but did you really travel all the way to Tokyo to buy an outfit that would be cheaper in the designer mall at home? True, a gift-wrapped melon from a department-store gourmet counter can cost $150. But you can enjoy gawking even if you don't want to spend like that. And if you shop around, you can find plenty of gifts and souvenirs at fair prices.
Japan has finally embraced the use of credit cards, although some smaller mom-and-pop shops may still take cash only. So when you go souvenir hunting, be prepared with a decent amount of cash; Tokyo's low crime rates make this a low-risk proposition. The dishonor associated with theft is so strong, in fact, that it's considered bad form to conspicuously count change in front of cashiers.
Japan has an across-the-board 5% value-added tax (V.A.T.) imposed on luxury goods. This tax can be avoided at some duty-free shops in the city (don't forget to bring your passport). It's also waived in the duty-free shops at the international airports, but because these places tend to have higher profit margins, your tax savings there are likely to be offset by the higher markups.
Stores in Tokyo generally open at 10 or 11 am and close at 8 or 9 pm.
