For most well intervention services performed through coiled tubing (CT), fluid pumping operations are an essential feature of the prescribed service. In these types of operations, the fundamental principles of well control must be employed throughout the entire well intervention program to ensure that the prescribed pressure balance is maintained for the desired result. Prudent preparation of any CT-conveyed pumping operation requires that an analysis be performed to predict the behavior of the fluids pumped through the CT and within the wellbore annuli.
Where surface pressure is expected to be present during the CT operation, a pumped kill fluid solution should also be prepared in the event that well control measures, in addition to CT well control stack operations, are required. To properly assess the behavior of fluids pumped through CT, care must be taken to obtain all pertinent information for wellbore construction and service equipment components. Further, assessments performed prior to and during the intervention program enhance design confidence when implementing the prescribed well control measures. The following discussion reviews the hydraulic performance and design issues considered for preparing and conducting CT-conveyed well intervention and well control operations.

Introducing: George's Mailbag
Dear NFL Fans,
In an effort to engage more directly and substantively with you, I am starting a new mailbag feature on www.nfllockout.com. I invite you to email me your questions and comments every week and I pledge to answer as many of them as I can with candor and sincerity. The questions and responses will be posted to the website every Monday by 11:00am eastern. If you want to ask me a question privately about the lockout, you are welcome to do that as well, but please specify so in your email.
I do my best to stay active on Twitter (@georgeatallah) and respond to your questions, comments and concerns. More often than not, 140 characters aren't enough to convey the appropriate information necessary. Many of you are frustrated with the situation. I am frustrated with the situation. Above all, the players are frustrated with the situation because they can't play. What's worse, there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding critical issues related to the lockout.
There are a number of fans that have already emailed me with questions in the last few weeks and I will get to those as well, especially those that have been pending in my inbox for quite some time. Since mediation began, emails have been piling up and I am –slowly – digging out. This type of direct interaction is important to me and to the players.
With that, you can begin sending me your questions today to the email address firstname.lastname@example.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
Bring it on.
George Atallah
Assistant Executive Director

Lockout Not Impeding Players From Staying in Top Shape
With the chance of the NFL's lockout lasting for months, players are working hard to stay in football shape for the day when the owners open the doors.
While coaches and team trainers can't have contact with players during the lockout, groups of players are not using that as a reason to become complacent when it comes to their physical workouts. Rather, they are taking initiative to gather at personalized training sessions hosted by top-notch facilities such as Athletes Performance Institute.
"I think that's what's important about now—to stay in the routine mentally," said Colts wide receiver Austin Collie. "Right now, even though there's a wall [between teams and players], there's no reason for us to check out and take it easy. Individually, I think you just have to stay on that same track."
For more, read this story from Yahoo! Sports.
Net Worth of Owners
In a feature published in the March 14 issue of Sports Illustrated, the magazine takes a look at some important dollar figures that form what it calls "The Gross Football Product." The information below can be found on "The Scorecard" (page 17 of the magazine.)
The average net worth for the NFL's 32 private majority owners is $1.4 billion. (The Packers are not included due to public ownership.) According to SI, the rankings below, compiled by leading wealth intelligence firm Wealth-X, list the six richest owners, based on assets from all sources:
Owner, Team Net Worth
1) Paul Allen, Seahawks $12.9B
2) Stephen M. Ross, Dolphins $3.3B
3) Malcolm Glazer, Buccaneers $2.4B
4) Stan Kroenke, Rams $2.2B
5) Jerry Jones, Cowboys $1.9B
6) Arthur M. Blank, Falcons $1.45B
Impact in Your Backyard
In a feature published in the March 14 issue of Sports Illustrated, the magazine takes a look at some important dollar figures that form what it calls "The Gross Football Product." The information below can be found on "The Scorecard" (page 17 of the magazine.)
Players are still looking for justification for this owner-imposed lockout. The NFL won't open its books. According to SI, these are some key figures and their explanations that point to the impact felt by a lockout, as published by the magazine:
- $20-21 Million—Local economic activity generated by a single NFL game. Over eight games (excluding preseason and playoffs), that's $160 million per year per market and $5.1 billion total earned by peripheral businesses.
- 100,000—Number of stadium workers who are affected negatively by a lockout
- $6.972 Billion—Money paid by the public toward the $13.146 billion total construction costs of NFL stadiums built since 1990, an average of $250 million per venue.
Class Representatives File Final Brief
The class representatives in the Brady case Monday filed their final brief to the court in preparation for the April 6, 2011 injunction hearing. The brief provides several persuasive arguments in support of an injunction to end the current lockout.
Among other things, it points out that the NFL owners agreed as part of the Reggie White Settlement back in 1993 that the players could end the NFLPA's status as a union when the CBA expired, and that if the players did so, the owners could not claim that such action was just a "sham" or that the NFLPA still remained as a union after expiration. Despite this agreement, the owners are now saying just that—that the players' vote to end the bargaining status of the NFLPA was just a "sham"—thereby reneging on their original agreement and arguing that this is a legal defense for their unlawful lockout.
The brief also strongly argues that the February 14, 2011 unfair labor practice charge filed by the owners against the NFLPA has no relevance to whether an injunction should issue. It reminds the court that the same thing had happened back in the early 1990s after the NFLPA had ended its union status in late 1989 and financed the Freeman McNeil case against the owners. The owners claimed then that the NLRB had jurisdiction over the case and not the federal court, but Federal District Court Judge David Doty ruled that the NFLPA had done enough to end its status as a union and the player-plaintiffs in the McNeil case were therefore free to pursue their antitrust rights against the NFL. The result was a resounding victory for the players and an eventual settlement, which gave free agency to the players.

Details on 2011 NFLPA Rookie Debut
The 2011 NFLPA Rookie Debut kicks off Thursday, April 28. Activities for the three-day event will not conflict with the evening broadcasts of the NFL Draft on April 28-29.
The 2011 NFLPA Rookie Debut and "One Team" Celebration is designed to welcome incoming rookies and their families to the NFLPA family, and enable relationships to form between current and former players, NFLPA and NFLPI staff and select corporate partners. The entire weekend is a celebration of legacy—of past, present and future pro football players making the journey from prospect to professional. Players will have the opportunity to learn about life in the NFL from their colleagues and prospective teammates, along with valuable insight from the Professional Football Players Mothers and Fathers Associations.
Along with a variety of public events and media engagements, players will have the opportunity to participate in the NFLPA's community outreach program called "Let Us Play," which encourages players, parents, teachers and volunteers to help kids lead a more healthy and active lifestyle. The weekend culminates with Saturday evening's main event in New York City, which brings together current players, former players and Hall of Famers to celebrate the game of pro football and welcome its newest members. Activities will include a variety of entertainment, interviews, performances and a host of player-fan interaction.

NFL Teams, Owners Ordered To Stop Unlawful Attempts To Reduce Workers Compensation Benefits To Injured NFL Players
In a landmark ruling, Federal Judge Paul Crotty of the Southern District of New York issued an injunction requiring all NFL teams and owners to stop seeking to reduce the worker compensation benefits due to former NFL players as a result of injuries they suffered while playing the game.
While the NFLPA won an earlier ruling on this issue, teams and owners ignored the decision in workers compensation cases around the country. The Federal Court found this to be unlawful and has ordered teams to continue paying these former players the injury benefits to which they are entitled.
Workers compensation is a significant benefit for former players who suffered severe injuries during their playing days. The NFLPA brought this case to protect those men and to force NFL teams and owners to live up to their obligations to the game's greats.

What is Friends of Scouting?
Friends of Scouting is an annual campaign where the Bay Area Council asks Scouting families, businesses and civic-minded citizens to support our mission of providing the Scouting program to thousands of Scouts all along the Texas Gulf Coast. One-hundred percent of funds generated stays local to support the youth in our area.
Why should I give to Friends of Scouting?
Friends of Scouting has to provide 30 percent of the money needed to operate the Bay Area Council's Scouting camps, programs and facilities for a calendar year. That's almost one-third of the budget. These camping and training facilities are the "outdoor classrooms" in which Scouts have fun, learn leadership skills and develop into better young men and women. The Bay Area Council spends approximately $200+ per Scout each year to deliver these benefits and much more.
I already paid my child's registration and his unit collects annual dues. Haven't I already supported Scouting?
Your child's registration BSA fee of $24 annually goes directly to the National Office of the Boy Scouts of America. If your child's Scout unit collects dues, that money stays with the unit. None of that money helps the Bay Area Council which needs financial help to:
- Maintaining and staffing the council's camping properties and service center.
- Building new projects and updating Camp property.
- Electricity, water, and phone service for camping properties and service center.
- Insurance on thousands of youth and adults, that includes medical and liability property insurance.
- Training thousands of adult volunteer leaders in youth protection, leadership specific and Wood Badge training.
- Purchasing and maintaining Equipment for program use, consumable, reusable and worn out.
- Providing programs like Cub Scout Day Camp, Cub Scout Adventure Days, Cub-O-Ree Campouts, Webelos Resident Camp, Native American Weekend, Boy Scout Summer Camp, Boy Scout Fall Camp, Boy Scout Winter Camp, Camp-O-Rees, Order of the Arrow events, National Youth Leadership Training, Venturing Activities, Sea Scout Programs, Scout Day Events and individual unit camping on facilities.
- Providing Scout Assistance for youth in need, community outreach character education programs, handbooks and camperships.
Friends of Scouting is Tax-deductable
Your donation to Bay Area Council Friends of Scouting is 100 percent tax deductable. Bay Area Council is a 501c3 Non-profit organization. For companies, a W-9 acknowledgement can be sent with your tax donation receipt. Your Friends of Scouting donation will also qualify for Company Donation Matching Programs, so your gift could be worth twice as much.(Any donation given directly to an individual unit is not tax-deductable and cannot qualify for Matching programs because a unit does not fall under the Council's 501c3 due to chartering.) If your company has a matching gift program, only you can initiate and send in the form to the Council office. Once the form is received, then the Council can finish the process with your company. Please check your company website or Human Resources for specific information.
If you give through your company with United Way, please make sure you mark off your allocation for BAY AREA COUNCIL BOY SCOUTS. Then you can be assured that your money is staying locally for your youth. If you do not allocate specifically for an organization, then please consider doing a one-time donation directly to Friends of Scouting.
We need your support, participate and become a Friend of Scouting!
Please consider a donation to the Friends of Scouting campaign. There would not be the Scouting program for the youth in this area without the Council. No gift is too big or too small. For more information about Friends of Scouting please contact the Council Service Center at 409-744-5206.
To mail in a donation or to set up a billing option, please use the FRIENDS OF SCOUTING BROCHURE
Make checks payable to: Bay Area Council. BSA Memo line: Friends of Scouting 2014. Mail to: Bay Area Council, 3020 53rd Street, Galveston, TX 77551

Calling hours held for one victim, prayer service planned
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - As the Mohawk Valley continues to mourn the loss of four killed in a shooting spree, the first calling hours for one man were held Sunday afternoon.
Friends and family of Michael Ransear gathered to say goodbye at the Heintz Funeral Home in Utica.
Ransear was killed inside John's Barber Shop on Wednesday. He was a Navy veteran who spent 18 years as a corrections officer at Mohawk Correctional Facility, retiring in 2006. He was also a husband, father and grandfather.
Department of Corrections Commissioner Brian Fischer said Ransear and Michael Renshaw, a prison guard, "will be remembered for their dedication and daily contributions made throughout their long careers."
His funeral will be Monday at 11 a.m. at First Assembly of God (9427 Maynard Drive, Marcy).
The community is also preparing for a prayer service, scheduled for Monday evening in Herkimer.

TI To Reduce Costs In Wireless Business; OMAP™ Processors And Wireless Connectivity Solutions Will Focus On Embedded Markets
DALLAS, Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Consistent with previously stated strategic plans, Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) announced today it will reduce costs and focus investments in its Wireless business on embedded markets with greater potential for sustainable growth. Cost reductions include the elimination of about 1,700 jobs worldwide.
TI previously outlined intentions to focus its OMAP processors and wireless connectivity solutions on a broader set of embedded applications with long life cycles, instead of its historical focus on the mobile market where large customers are increasingly developing their own custom chips. These changes require fewer resources and less investment.
"We have a great opportunity to reshape our OMAP processor and wireless connectivity product lines to concentrate on embedded markets. Momentum is already building with new embedded applications and a broad set of customers, and we are accelerating our efforts in these areas," said Greg Delagi, senior vice president of Embedded Processing. "These job reductions are something we do with a heavy heart because they impact people we care deeply about. We will work closely with all employees affected by these changes to provide a range of assistance related to compensation, benefits and job search."
As a result of these actions, the company expects annualized savings of about $450 million by the end of 2013. Total charges will be about $325 million, most of which will be accounted for in the current quarter. TI's fourth-quarter outlook, published on October 22, did not comprehend these restructuring charges.About Texas Instruments Texas Instruments semiconductor innovations help 90,000 customers unlock the possibilities of the world as it could be – smarter, safer, greener, healthier and more fun. Our commitment to building a better future is ingrained in everything we do – from the responsible manufacturing of our semiconductors, to caring for our employees, to giving back inside our communities.

MSc Finance (major: Quantitative Finance)
I was always interested in political economy, but worked as a freelance engineer in a different field: telecomms software. Some years ago I spent a period out of work during the telecoms (dot com) bust. It forced me to think of re-skilling into a field I was interested in – finance/economics. The rise of the 'financial sector' is a key feature of the new global economy and I wanted to understand it more.
The CeFiMS courses appealed for the following reasons: they allowed one to 'dip' in via an IPC and then proceed to a more formal qualification. The structure of the courses also appealed - an 8 week course is optimal for an intense burst of studying. A lengthier course time would be difficult to sustain, given family and work commitments.
I decided upon the quantitative options, again because I wanted the technical skills to understand the new financial economics. As for the courses themselves – they steer a happy medium between the practical and the formal. The courses are in finance not mathematics and the readings are related to the real world! The two assignments per course serve to reinforce the tutorial material.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered this in blush pink for my save the dates and customized the text. I got a response the very next day from a designer who had already reviewed my order, created exactly what I wanted, and worked with me on every detail I requested. I have ordered from this company three times, and I would recommend them over any other wedding invitation site. I have been blown away with the service given to me as a customer, quality of the save the dates and wedding invitations and suite items that I ordered, and timing in which I received them."
"I absolutely love these save the dates! The design and ordering process was incredibly easy. I received them quickly and was very pleased with their quality. The paper is thick and beautifully textured! I would have chosen a different envelope color, though. The metallic gold is very pretty, but was difficult to find a pen that would show up well."
"I love how our "Save the Dates" looked!!! It was exactly what I was hoping for. Quality was great, printing was great! colors were perfect!! Absolutely loved them!! Definitely would recommend these to others!! Now to design our invites!!"
"The Precocious Penguin Save the Dates (in black) were a big hit with our guests and a fun and whimsical way to share our happy wedding date news! Would be fun for wedding paper divas to expand the Precious Penguins pattern to other card/invitation types (i.e. thank yous, rehearsal dinner/shower invites, etc.)"
"All of our guests love our save the dates!! I can't wait to order our invitations. Wedding Paper Divas is hands down the best company I have ever worked with and their products are by far awesome."

Caroline Harry Thomas QC
The Caroline Harry Thomas Memorial Fund
Caroline Harry Thomas (1957-2011) studied Law at the University of Exeter from 1975-78 and enjoyed a prestigious legal career as a QC. She will be remembered as one of the most distinguished medical lawyers of her generation, as well as an inspiring role model and a wonderful lifelong friend to many of her Exeter contemporaries.
Her obituary in The Times (9 February 2012) described her as a 'barrister with an intuitive feel for the human, ethical and legal complexities of clinical negligence cases'. Following her studies at Exeter and doing a placement at the European Commission in Luxembourg, she was admitted to the Bar. She started her career in family law but increasingly dealt with clinical negligence cases, acting in a number of high-profile medical treatment and ethics cases, where she gained a highly respected reputation for her outstanding competence in handling issues relating to the end of life and withdrawal or withholding of life sustaining treatment from adults and children.
A lasting memorial to Caroline
Friends from the University of Exeter have been raising money in Caroline's memory to establish a lasting memorial, one that will provide inspiration to current and future generations of Law students at Exeter.
They have been working closely with the Law School to ensure the most appropriate tribute to Caroline and her many achievements, and the special qualities that made her a friend and inspiration to so many people.
Make your gift in memory of Caroline
Thank you,
Penny Crouch (née Curtis), Karen Petty (née Thompson) and Clive Mathias (Law 1978) and the many friends of Caroline Harry Thomas at the University of Exeter.

Post I in the Task Cycle® Series: Establish a Purpose, Already!
Today, we begin the first in a weekly series of posts discussing the Task Cycle® theory. What exactly is the Task Cycle theory, you may be asking? It is the underpinning of all of the surveys administered by The Booth Company, and it draws upon theories of learning, cognition, and motivation. For example, each person in an organization is supposed to achieve goals set forth by his or her position. In any role, a person must complete a series of tasks, which follow a logical series of steps. These steps are what we have come to call the Task Cycle®.
In every task, there are six steps (see diagram):
1. Establish a purpose
2. Lay the foundation
3. Continue a sustained effort from a variety of resources
4. Obtain feedback
5. Monitor and adjust the process
6. Reinforce performance of other contributors once you have achieved your goal
This weekly series will cover one section of the Task Cycle® at a time. This week, we begin with a simple question: How does one establish a purpose?
Not so simple, is it?
According to some philosophers and great thinkers, purpose is essential to a human's life. Helen Keller wrote, "Happiness comes from fidelity to a worthy purpose." The medieval Catholic monk Thomas Kempis said that, "life without purpose is a languid, drifting thing; every day we ought to review our purpose." Finally, Washington Irving acknowledged the importance of purpose when he said, "Great minds have purposes, others have wishes." Clearly, having a purpose is essential to the human condition.
So how does one establish a purpose?
- Figure out what needs to change. In order to start the task cycle, there needs to be a task. What needs to change in your life? In your work place? In your relationships with others? Sometimes, it is easy to identify problem areas or skill areas where you may falter. Other times, it may take an outside eye. This could come in the form of co-workers, family members, or superiors, and can take the form of an informal talk or a 360 survey.
- Understand your environment: One way to explore what needs to change is by understanding your life or work environment. Understanding your family, your industry, or your organization and its products/services can ensure that your purpose is aiming accurately. Make sure you explore materials like books, websites, "eccentric" thinkers, (we like to think of them as "visionaries") or industry journals. Listen to advice from those known to have good ideas, and keep current on relevant news and trends.
- Create a positive purpose. For example, "Improving my skills as a leader" is much different than "Not sucking as a manager." Stay positive!
- Be realistic. Your purpose must fit your life and your industry. It won't do anything except frustrate you to establish a purpose that cannot be fulfilled. Dream big, but within reason.
- Write it down. Putting anything in writing makes it that much more real. When something is written, you are more likely to remember it and take it seriously. And don't just write it; write it in detail.
- Think about it. Make sure you take the time every day to think over your purpose. How will you work to achieve it today? What obstacles could get in your way? How will you overcome these obstacles? It is vital to think about or discuss how your everyday activities relate to your overall purpose.
- Involve someone else. Involving others—be they family members or workplace team members— in setting your purpose as well as ensuring its execution can build trust and develop team building skills. It can be easy to ignore your purpose, but when someone else is there to cheer you on in the good times and push you during the bad, you will be much more likely to stick with it.
Imagine that you are running a race. You can hear the wild chanting of the masses of cheering fans on the sidelines and can practically feel their energy flowing through your veins. Even though you have blisters the size of quarters and can barely put one foot in front of the other, you draw on their energy and positivity to dash across the finish line. Now, imagine that you are running the same race—alone. You are tired, sore, and struggling to finish. How much harder is it to complete the race when you are alone versus when you have encouragement? This someone could be a friend, a mentor, or a leadership coach; anyone that will keep you on the road to achieving your purpose.
Update (6/28/2010)-- Here's another article written about finding your purpose from Career Rocketeer for some extra reading.

- " We had a great stay, everything was clean, the breakfast was nice, a bit simple but for a 6 euro breakfast it was a lot. We were with a small group of 4 and we had to stay somewhere for a night after a concert and this was perfect, absolutely not expensive and very clean. We could overlook the fact that we had to go up 4 stairs to get to our room in the middle of the night. "

- " Had an aweful stay here. I'll start with the problems, and give the good points afterwards. First of all, we had one of the rooms on the first floor, next to the HOTEL sign. This sign glows with the intensity of a thousand suns, and the curtains are not able to block out the light. We had to improvise a solution blocking the window with paintings and towels in order to get some sleep. Also, there was construction in the hotel from roughly 9 AM to 11PM. Good thing: comfortable bed. "

Buzz: Is New York where Joe Thornton wants to be?
4:16PM: Katie Strang said in a chat today that right now Thornton is only thinking about playing in San Jose. (ESPN)
He has a full-no move clause as part of his contract.
4:04PM: On Hockey Central at Noon today, Doug MacLean said "it seems at this particular time Joe Thornton only wants to go to New York, that was the scuttlebut and maybe it will change as the days go on."
Nick Kypreos said, "Joe is interesting because he just signed that three-year extension, there is some talk that Wilson told him that he isn't going anywhere and then maybe he found out he was being shopped and now is the push to move him, obviously it is. If it's not Joe it has to be Marleau. You will have to get some significant top-six pieces back."
Kypreos added, "I look at Joe and at this point in his career I put him into that Iginla category where you don't want him to come into your team right now. The last thing that Joe needs is to step into a lineup next year and be "the guy." He needs an Iginla situation and St. Louis would be pretty good for him. St. Louis needs to get bigger. They can't compete with just Backes. Joe can still get 50 assists and still score you almost a point of game and is one of the best passers in the game."
MacLean said, "In New York he would have to be the guy because you have Stepan who is a good number two, Brassard who is a really good number three and Moore who is a UFA so their center ice needs some reworking with Richards and Moore probably good and Joe would be a good fit because of his history with Rick."
38% of readers said that their interest in Thornton would be based on cost and 37% said that the Rangers should go after him.
@FredPoulin98 Morning Fred - so who " wants " to play for Les Boys ???? Markov @ $ 6 M / 3 years .....
Sather can not revert to his style of GM in the late 90's and early 2000's. Bringing in washed up and past their prime stars with hugh salaries (cap hits) and giving up on top prospects. Look for younger players with size and heart.
Lets not be a retirement home
please no. i like thornton but i'd rather them go younger. definitely not interested in giving up youth for him. i'd prefer they go after someone like stastny instead.
Not brass or steps or hags. Would do JT miller plus though
Don't see it happening if they have to give too much away. Huge cap hit would cost the Rangers many free agents and youth
There is only one proper response to this.
@Garts2point2 @SNYRangers Washed up
Joe Thornton is a PLAYOFF LOSER, just like his buddy RICK NASH. DO NOT REUNITE THESE 2 CHOKE ARTISTS IN NYC. TRADE NASH. NO THORNTON!
Thornton has a killer team destined to win the Cup every year and CONTINUALLY captains his team to an early dismissal. Let him be SJS problem. I would take him for $1M.
@Garts2point2 I mean, if San Jose wants to give him to us for a few prospects and wants to retain 2 million of his salary, I'd take him
@Garts2point2 @SNYRangers let him go to Long Island then.
The trade would kill the team. Either the pieces given up will cost us or the contract will prevent us resigning our free agents. Bad idea at this time.
Please no....
make the trade bring him to the Eastern conference champion New York Rangers LGR
@Guyute when did they ever play together?
My problem with Thornton is simply that he's a brilliant passer but not the goal scorer we need. I want a #1 center who is a top scorer. Hard to find though.
@Gary Wien Multiple international/olympics together and more importantly they went and played in Davos (Switzerland) together during both NHL lockouts. They are buddies and they both seem to be great at pissing their pants in the playoffs. NO THANKS.

2013 Testimonials
"The Terry Copacia All State Quarterback camp is a must for every Quarterback, young or old - no matter what level you are at. First and foremost, Terry was a Quarterback himself and speaks the Quarterback language. If you are looking to put your son in a camp that will ignite the Quarterback fire inside of him, Terry's is the camp. From the fundamentals to building a young man' confidence in the position, your son will come home a different kid. Terry doesn't just teach Quarterbacking, he teaches old school respect for parents, coaches, and people in general. He is a "man molder". Having played Quarterback myself at the college level, I recognize that Terry can Coach at any level. You will never outgrow what Terry can teach you. I only wish I had the benefit of a Coach like Terry when I was growing up.
My son tutored under Terry in group settings as well as privately. I can boast like those fathers that make everyone around them sick to listen to about the success my son had at the high school level but I will simply say my son had a very successful high school career. I know that much of that success is attributable to Terry. As a Quarterback myself, when I began searching for camps for my son to go to, I looked for "The Best". Isn't that what we all want for our kids? I took him all over the country, QBU, Steve Clarkson, QBR, several big name University Camps with hundreds of college coaches in attendance and even the Elite 11. The true testament to Terry comes when I ask my son Sean who he felt was the best Quarterback camp he attended and Terry's name at the top of that list. The old saying is you get what you pay for. From the Quarterback to the man I have in my son, I owe Terry a lot more than I paid."

Trevor Harris Testimonials
"Growing up, I always imagined myself in the back yard playing for an NFL team. I always set it as a goal and wanted to reach the professional level. I always wondered what it would take to reach that level. I found out that it takes more than grunt work and getting your elbows dirty. I found that the most important thing for me to do was to train properly and pay attention to the fine details of being a great quarterback. That is precisely what I got when I started to train with Coach Terry Copacia at the All State Quarterback School. Training with Coach Copacia took me to the next level and allowed my mechanics and footwork to be second to none. You can have all the talent or not much talent, and Coach Copacia will tremendously improve your footwork and help you start spinning the ball off your hand! I found benefits in the mental part, hand placement, accuracy, ball security, quickness of my feet, and attitude about being the leader of a team. Coach Copacia does not just stop at throwing the football. He truly covers everything about quarterbacking except for your own personal team playbook! My footwork drills that I learned with Coach Copacia are still being done by me each week and I'm in my 4th year of professional ball. Through years of Collegiate, NFL, UFL, Arena League, and CFL experience, I am yet to work with someone so intricate and detail oriented in terms of throwing the football. No matter what your skill level is, I would strongly suggest attending All State Quarterback School with Coach Copacia. As quarterbacks, we are never done learning or progressing. Training with Coach Copacia will do nothing but make you a better overall quarterback and sharpen your skills that you already have. I am very thankful for my relationship with Coach and look forward to continuing to learn from and train with him in the future!"

"At Lake Orion High School, our success depends greatly on our quarterback play. For years, a major part in the development of our quarterbacks has been their work with Terry Copacia and his staff at their All-State Quarterback Camps. As the head coach and offensive coordinator, I enjoy going and watching Terry and his staff work so I can continually learn how to better coach my quarterbacks.
Terry's fundamental and no nonsense approach to the position helps teach my quarterbacks how to prepare, how to lead and gives them the confidence and muscle memory in their fundamentals to be great. As a father, watching my son improve as a quarterback and a leader through Terry's camps is something that I will be forever grateful for. We are fortunate to have such a great resource for the development of our quarterbacks. The All-State Quarterback is and always will be a part of my off-season training for our quarterbacks. Thank you Terry for the job you do for our kids."
Chris Bell - Head Football Coach - Lake Orion High School
Coach Copacia pushed me past what I thought I could do because he believed in me and knew I could always go farther and be better. He motivated me with inspirational stories, positive thinking, and instilled leadership qualities beyond technique that I needed as a quarterback, so that I believed in myself and my abilities. He committed himself to me, and truly was invested in my success, week by week, game by game. He is a great coach and role model. He taught me not only how to be a better quarterback but also how to be a better human being.
Nick Rao - Quarterback Birmingham Brother Rice HS / Birminghan Michigan
I wanted to thank you for the coaching and guidance you provided my son, Nate Gaggin over the past six years. Quite simply, working with you and utilizing your teachings since he was 12, Nate was able to enjoy a most remarkable HS QB career:
- 1st Team All-State by the Associated Press and the Detroit News (12th)
- All-East Team-quarterback by Detroit News (12th)
- M-Live East Dream Team 1st Team quarterback (12th)
- MIAC Conference MVP (12th)
- 1st Team All-Conference – MIAC (10th, 11th, 12th)
- Team MVP (10th, 11th, 12th)
- Set all University Liggett School passing records (9th-12th)
- Led team to three consecutive State Playoff appearances (10th, 11th, 12th)
Nate (University Liggett High School) was able to start all four years of his HS career at QB and passed for 6,539 yards and 75 TDs. He averaged nearly 200 yards passing per game. He also rushed for more than 2,000 yards and 30 TDs (1,000 yard season his senior year which he credits to your foot work drills for the ability to evade the rush).
Nate began working with you when was 12 and your program formed the foundation for his technique, foot-work, and ability to play the position. He embraced not just the technical things you taught, but the personal development side as well. You taught him to take responsibility for the team's performance and to persevere through mistakes and challenges, while demonstrating poise and humility. You were, and always will be, his QB coach.
I couldn't recommend a better coach for the QB position than you. Thank you again for all you've done for Nate.
My best regards,
Brian Gaggin (Grosse Pointe, Michigan)
After my first season playing quarterback as a freshman in high school, I knew I wanted to continue to play and be competitive at the position. My dad signed me up for one of Terry Copacia's camps, and after the first session I had already learned so much. We went over everything from footwork, to motion and release, to drop-backs, to throw varieties, and so on. I knew he was someone who could help me become a much better quarterback, so throughout high school I participated in several camps run by Terry. He was also available to work with me in a one-on-one session to help with even more detailed parts of my game.
My dad and high school coach, John Callahan, each had their major parts in my success, but if I had not learned what I did from Terry I would not have achieved what I was able to achieve. I started as a Division 1 quarterback at Eastern Michigan and as a senior at Grand Valley State. After college I was able to be the offensive coordinator and quarterback of the Polish league champion Gdynia Seahawks.
Thank you for everything, Terry. I would not have been the quarterback I was without all of your help.
Kyle McMahon - Eastern Michigan University, Grand Valley State University
Just wanted to give you an update on my son and his new position. First time quarterback Cody White (Freshman, Walled Lake Western) just threw for 247 yards tonight and had 2 touchdowns dropped. Would have had a 300 yard game without the drops. His accuracy was very good and he only missed 1 throw in the short to intermediate range. Curls, Digs, Posts, Fades, Flats, throws on the run...
You gave him a base of drills, throwing techniques and overall quarterbacking fundamentals to build on last spring/summer and for the third straight week, he has played his best game of the season.
He is now over 1,000 yards passing for the season in 7 games so far on his freshman team at Walled Lake Western.
Take care,
Sheldon White - Vice President of Pro Personnel - Detroit Lions, Inc
Mr. Copacia
An update on one of your former attendees. Austin Ernst of Cincinnati is a frosh qb at nationally ranked Ohio Dominican University. Ernst is a scholarship player and has made the travel squad as a true frosh. He owes a lot to your schools from the footwork , fundamentals and the mental approach he learned at All State QB School. Thank you for providing such a strong teaching qb school and allowing our son to exceed his goals.
Eric Ernst (dad of Austin)
"I am a former D1 Football player and Varsity High School coach. At a young age, my son developed an interest in the quarterback position. I was a former linebacker and didn't know the intricacies of the quarterback position. My son, Justin Allor, began attending Terry Copacia's QB camps at the age of 10. I knew how important it was that he learn proper mechanics at young age versus retraining poor habits later in life. I credit much of my son's success to sound fundamentals acquired at Terry Copacia's QB camps and private lessons with Terry.
Thank you Terry and staff."
Also, Justin just asked me to also tell you, Thank you!!
Jeffrey Allor - Rochester, Michigan

He has recently worked with a long time NFL QB and he told Austin his footwork was very good and wondered who taught him that-Terry Copacia of course.
Thank you for helping Austin achieve his goals."

2010 Testimonials
"Dear Coach Copacia... with the thousands of kids you have helped over the years, I wouldn't expect that you would remember my son Kyle Weninger:
(from Kenston High School in NE Ohio and an 8th grader when he went to his first camp at Canton Hoover, when Mike Fischer was the senior QB at Kenston. We also drove up to Michigan when he was a freshman to spend a one on one day with you where you gave him personal instruction and then to four more of your camps.)
Well he graduated this month and although he did not play as a junior, he had a very nice senior year and was offered 7 seven DII scholarships. He didn't like any of the schools, (small and remote) so he'll be playing DIII in Washington DC which he's excited about. Thanks again for all the years of great instruction, and I'm confident it will serve him well as he plays in college.
Best to you and your family and much continued success in all you do Coach!"
Ernst Weninger - Ohio
"Coach Copacia,
Let me start off telling you that my son participated in your football camp back in June at Texas A&M Consolidated High School. I don't expect you to remember us, as I know that you see many, many young men and their dads through the year. My son was one of the youngest in the camp and probably the second or third shortest. On the second day, as we were walking across the street to the field, I stopped you to thank you for what you were doing and told you that it was the best $185 I'd ever spent.
Justin had never played football before he tried out for the seventh grade team. He wanted to be a quarterback and was selected to the "C" team as the starting QB. By the end of the season, his attitude had let him fall and he ended the season as the "C" team back-up. That's not exactly what I had in mind for him. That's when I found your website. I signed him up and we attended. You changed his attitude, his ability, and his life. He walks with his head up now, he has confidence in himself. We just found out today that he made "B" team for the eighth grade. We don't know yet if he will be the starter, but, he and I both agree that it is not important. He is so proud of himself for moving forward, I am very proud of what he has accomplished and I thank you for helping make that happen.
I just want you to know that what you are doing is making a difference in people's lives. Some you may never know about, but, I wanted to make sure that you know about this one. Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you next year."
Ronnie Kmiec - Tomball, TX
"I wanted to touch base with you and thank you again for your efforts with Sam Pearce. We ended up moving to Nobleville, IN and he has won the starting position on the varsity squad and looks fantastic. He went to FBU and I was told by Mike Kruzcek (former offensive coordinator with the Cardinals) that he had the fewest flaws of any sophomore they had seen this year.
He has worked hard on what you taught him and the difference is unbelievable. Thanks for your expertise and coaching style. You have made a tremendous difference in his life!"
Mike Pearce - Noblesville, IN
"My son attended your QB school and I would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere thanks. He is having some real success both on and off the field and we believe (my son and I both) that your school has had a lot to do with this. He attended your school. He came out a different player. He especially grew from your leadership development segments. He now knows the expectations of his teammates, his coaches and the community. Of course the technical skills have paid off as well.
Most importantly, you impacted his character. While he has always been respectful, he seems to better understand the impact. He handles himself differently, and in a more mature manner. Your words impacted him.
In conclusion, I thank you so much for your dedication, passion and teaching skills. It has really impacted his life as a player and most importantly, as an individual.
Thanks for making a difference!"
Steve Gittins
We came down to the Canton Camp for two years (couldn't make it this year because of commitments) from Toronto - the only Canadian kid in your camp! Alex came to you in July of 2007 to learn how to play quarterback the proper way - you taught him and he worked hard at it - listening to everything you talked about and putting in the training time. He has transferred to Riverside Military Academy in Gainsville Georgia to play his Senior year in the United States (his dream). He just e-mailed me to tell me he has won the starting quarterback role for the Riverside Eagles for the 2009 season - very exciting.
I just want to thank you for teaching and powerful influence on my son. As a young Christian man trying to do the right thing you made it easy for him to follow his faith and his dream of competing against the best. It was truly a "God-thing " that we found you and your camp and I want to let you know you are appreciated."
Thank you again,
Greg O'Donnell - Toronto, Canada
Craig Krenzel Testimonial
There's no doubt that the reason I've had the opportunity to be here and play at this level is because of what Terry Copacia taught me. He pushed me to be my best. He taught me the fundamentals of quarterbacking and reading defenses and how to handle yourself on the field.
Through my experiences with Coach Copacia, I have developed the skills that are required to play college and professional football. The importance of the drills learned in this camp cannot be stressed enough even at the college level.

So, I was planning on going on two dates this weekend. The first girl was a first date and she texted me saying that she couldn't go because she was really tired and needed to sleep before work. This was a pretty reasonable explanation as she works two jobs and needed to work the graveyard shift again that night. The second girl was a second date and she texted me and said she had the flu. Reasonable explanation, I suppose. So, anyway, do you think I should call either of these girls again or should I write them both off as losses?

Work place based assessment
Assessment consultation - your participation is requested (closes 5 Nov 2013).
The College is consulting on the nature of the assessments in the Curriculum . It is essential we have as many members of College respond to the consultation as possible. Please read the consultation document (here) carefully and then respond to the relevant survey. The consultation closes 5th November 2013.
Trainees: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/assessmentsurvey_trainees
Trainers: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/assessmentsurvey_trainers
Please note: this is a consultation only - and the changes are still under discussion. The existing examination arrangements remain in place for ALL trainees and future trainees. We are in discussion with the General Medical Council who will be the body who will give final agreement to our proposals if they are found to be acceptable.
Please do not contact the examination department to discuss your future examinations as we are unable to confirm any changes. The examination department is engaged in the current exam diets (FCEM) and will not be able to give any further advice.
Frequently asked questions about the changes
1. If I am entering training in 2014 as an ST4 - will I complete the new or old exam structure?
We cannot confirm any future arrangements until our meeting with the GMC. However, we believe that any changes will be to the benefit of training for the trainees and we will release information as soon as possible
2. Will the critical appraisal paper "count" towards future examinations?
Any candidate who has been successful in the critical appraisal paper at any time, will not have to repeat the critical appraisal paper as part of any changes to the examination structure proposed. Regulations on currency of exams and resits will remain in place, candidates are recommended to read the regulations.
Workplace based assessments
Welcome to the CEMs workplace based assessment web site. The College has developed an assessment process that will provide non trainees (SAS doctors) and trainees (ST1 through to ST6) with a number of formative and summative assessment tools. Trainees should note that the WPBA completed within the ED are intended to be formative. With time the emphasis on different methods of assessment will change and evolve, but the system that we currently propose will produce an EM practitioner 'fit for purpose' to staff a modern Emergency Department.
The content of the assessments are mapped to the curriculum and is divided into the three stages of training – ACCS, ST3, and ST4-6. Although the tools remain the same, the clinical cases which are used for assessment reflect the competences to be acquired at each stage.
Formative assessments
Formative assessment consists of a number of WBPAs, using tools which will be familiar to trainees who have completed Foundation programme training (mini CEX, DOPS, CbD, Multisource feedback). Trainees will need to produce a specified number of WPBA's using each of these tools for all 3 stages of training. The topics suggested for the assessments have been adapted to reflect the competencies required for each training period and become increasingly complex as the trainee progresses through the training programme. Assessment topics can be selected from a list provided for that particular stage of training.
The College is currently negotiating to use the NHS e-portfolio, but until access is confirmed, the assessment documentation will need to be in 'hard copy'. The forms are available on line in each section, and should be printed out prior to assessment. The form should be then copied, with the original retained by the trainee (in the 'Portfolio of Evidence') and the copy sent to the educational supervisor (ES). The multisource feedback (MSF) will be collated locally by arrangement with the Deaneries.
Trainee will encounter three types of supervisor –
Clinical supervisor (CS) – who is the person who looks after the trainee on the shop floor and does the assessments. There may be lots of these per attachment.
Educational supervisor (ES) - the person who does the appraisal and the structured training reports (STR). They may also do some assessments and will do the CbD in most cases.
Clinical Tutor (CT) – the person who looks after a trainee during a section of training when the trainee may not have direct contact with their Educational Supervisor.
Trainees will be expected to meet with their ESs at the beginning, middle and end of each training period. During this time educational objectives will be set and these will be used to assess the trainee's progress. Evidence of achievement of these objectives, together with the results of the WPBAs will inform the content of the structure training report (STR). This report, and the trainee's 'Portfolio of Evidence', will be reviewed by the ARCP panel before the trainee is allowed to proceed to the next level of training.
Structured training reports (STR) need to be submitted at least a month before the ARCP panel meet so that any problems are identified. Trainees will be requested to attend the ARCP if there are any concerns. The Trainee should be fully aware of the content of the STR before it is submitted.
The completion of the WPBA's and STRs is the trainees responsibility, if no documentation is produced for the ARCP it is very likely that the trainee will fail to progress.
Summative assessments
Evidence of successful progression through the training programme will also involve completion of a number of summative assessments. At deanery level, trainees will be expected to pass a test of knowledge appropriate to their level of training. This will take the form of a CEM 'mock exam' which will be quality controlled by the Education and Exam committee of the CEM. The frequency of this type of assessment will depend on individual EM schools and deaneries.
At a national level trainees would be expected to have obtained the MCEM part A to enter ST3, the MCEM part B and C before (or, for 2007 entrants during) ST4 and the FCEM prior to being awarded a CCT.
In addition, trainees will be expected to complete the three life support courses – ALS, ATLS, and APLS before ST4.
