1 AN EVALUATION OF THE SCHOOL COUNSELING PROGRAM AT STILLWATER AREA SCHOOLS IN STILLWATER, MINNESOTA by Christine N. Crane Otto A Research Paper Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Education Specialist In Counseling & Psychological Services Approved: 6 Semester Credits Field Study Chair Field Study Committee Members: The Graduate College University of Wisconsin-Stout May 2001
2 The Graduate College University of Wisconsin-Stout Menomonie, WI ABSTRACT Otto Christine Nina Crane AN EVALUATION OF THE SCHOOL COUNSELING PROGRAM AT STILLWATER AREA SCHOOLS IN STILLWATER, MINNESOTA Ed.S. Counseling & Psychological Services Dr. Ed Biggerstaff May pages American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Manual School counselors can be more responsive and effective when the needs of the population they serve have been clearly identified. This research focused on the secondary (7-12) guidance and counseling program of Stillwater Area Schools, including two junior high schools and one senior high school. The major purposes of this study were to determine what stakeholders perceive as their needs of the counseling program, to ascertain if stakeholders perceive that their needs are being met effectively, and to identify goals in partnership with stakeholders' needs and desired outcomes for the future. Four groups were surveyed: students, parents, teachers, and administrators. Each group was asked to evaluate current counseling services and complete a needs-assessment inventory. Results of the evaluation were favorable overall. There were indicators of discrepancies between schools in varying areas and trends of perceived higher and lower performance in others. The research data generated from this study is intended as a tool for the Stillwater counseling staff to use in setting goals for program improvement and charting future direction for school counseling in the Stillwater Area Schools.
3 Acknowledgements Without the inspiration, support, and cooperation of counselors in the Stillwater Area Schools this project could not have been implemented. Their willingness to open their professional lives to scrutiny and analysis is appreciated and commendable. Their devotion to the ongoing mission of helping young people overcome obstacles, succeed, and thrive is to be admired. Much appreciation is extended to the many students, parents, teachers, and administrators who took the time to share their thoughts and perspectives of the Stillwater counseling program. Thanks to the administrators who opened the doors of the schools to the surveying process and the many teachers who shared classroom time and facilitated the implementation of this study. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ed Biggerstaff for his unwavering support and encouragement, without which this project would not have become a reality. His insight, flexibility, guidance, and expertise have been greatly appreciated. Thanks to Dr. Mary Hopkins-Best and Harlyn Misfeldt who were also instrumental in the completion of this project. Thank you to Jim Otto, a loving husband and father, whose support throughout this project has been invaluable. Andrew Otto is appreciated for his patience and good attitude in sharing his mom with the demands of this project. This research is dedicated to the lives of children for whom school counselors play a vital role. May our focus always be on facilitating the healthy growth and development of young people and finding the best ways to do accomplish this task in our schools.

9 Chapter 1 Introduction School counseling programs play an important yet widely varied role in the lives of students of all ages. Because ongoing effective evaluation is vital to the health of any program, school counseling programs should be appropriately assessed at regular intervals. Rye and Sparks (1999) contend that evaluation provides the data needed for accountability. This data can show whether the goals of a program are being met and provide a means by which needed adjustments and changes can be identified and implemented (Rye & Sparks, 1999). Lewis states that if a counselor can prove through a thorough evaluation that his or her program is having a positive effect, he or she has made counseling less vulnerable to attacks by critics and will have more confidence in his or her own professional ability (Lewis, 1983). Because the role of a school counselor can be defined in many ways and the needs of particular populations typically differ, it is common for school counseling programs to vary considerably from school to school and community to community. Administrators have a tremendous impact on shaping school counseling programs. Their expectations of counseling tend to dictate how counselors direct their efforts. Rye and Sparks (1999) suggest that to build a strong and balanced program, the administrator and counselor must work together. Generally, counselors complain that too little time is available for their primary function in schools: counseling students (Bardo, Cody, & Bryson, 1978). Clarifying the school counselor's role within a school is important for counselors, administrators, teachers, students, parents, and the community at-large. Counselors can be more focused when the needs of a population have been clearly identified and more effective when the expectations are clearly understood by all stakeholders.
10 2 In 1990 Robert D. Myrick, Ph.D., conducted a North Central Association evaluation of the Stillwater Area Schools' Guidance and Counseling Program. Dr. Myrick met with focus groups of primary and secondary stakeholders and reviewed the program overall. A 22-page final report was written that included 15 recommendations for program improvements. This was the last time the program has been formally evaluated. The Stillwater Area Schools' Guidance and Counseling Department supports a proactive, developmental guidance model that serves all students in grades 7-12, helping each student grow in identified competencies. The counseling staff of District #834 believes that guidance and counseling is an integral part of the educational process of our schools. The department holds a philosophy of concern for the educational, career, personal and social needs of students. Counselors respect the inherent rights and responsibilities of young people and their parents as they strive to establish relationships that will help individuals reach their potential as students and citizens. They are also committed to developing working relationships with the entire staff to create healthy psychological environments in the schools. Rationale is derived from both state and national guidelines for school counseling. The Minnesota School Counselors' Association (MSCA), in alignment with the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), has produced a model of developmental guidance and counseling. MSCA seeks to advance the mission of comprehensive developmental guidance and counseling programs that provide developmental as well as pro-active, preventive programs and remedial efforts. Its purpose is to empower all learners to lead satisfying and productive lives by assisting
11 3 them in acquiring competencies in the personal/social, career, and educational domains. It also identifies four modes of delivery: guidance curriculum, individual planning, responsive services, and system support (Rief & Enestvedt, 1993). The Stillwater Guidance and Counseling Department has developed goals in accordance with assisting students across the grade levels in developing competencies in each domain while appropriately utilizing all four delivery systems. There are four secondary schools in the district: Stillwater Area High School (10-12), Stillwater Junior High School (7-9), Oak-Land Junior High School (7-9), and St. Croix Valley Alternative Learning Program (10-post 12). Stillwater Area High School's counseling department staff consists of 6.8 counselors. Two counselors team on each grade level, splitting the students in half. This creates two consistent caseloads over the course of the three years students spend at the high school. The remaining.8 position is an at-risk counselor who serves students identified with special needs throughout the entire student body. Stillwater Junior High School employs three full-time counselors, each counselor having responsibility for one grade level (7-9) and continuing with that population for each of the three years students are in the building. Oak-Land Junior High School has two full-time counselors on staff who split the student population in half alphabetically, also maintaining continuity by retaining a consistent student caseload. No counseling positions are in place at St. Croix Valley Alternative Learning Program, therefore the school does not implement a counseling program. There are no school counselors currently employed by any of the school district's eight elementary schools. Stillwater has not developed an elementary school counseling program; therefore the scope of this program evaluation will be at the secondary level.
12 4 Statement of the Problem A formal evaluation of the school guidance and counseling program in Stillwater has not been conducted for ten years. The department is no longer on the rotation for periodic North Central Association evaluations. If priority is to be given to conducting such an evaluation it appears that impetus must come from within the department. An evaluation would provide important information that would allow counselors to better understand the students' needs, the current impact of the program on meeting those needs, and desirable future direction for the program. Purpose of the Study The major purposes of this research study are: 1) To determine what stakeholders perceive as their needs of the counseling program. 2) To ascertain if stakeholders perceive that the needs are being met effectively. 3) To identify goals in partnership with stakeholders' needs and desired outcomes for the future. Definition of Terms For clarity of understanding the following terms will be defined. Stakeholder: an individual with direct involvement and a vested interest in the counseling program. Developmental Guidance: a counseling program that includes developmental, sequential activities across the grade levels and is an integral part of the school's total educational program.
13 Personal/Social Domain: focuses on development of students' selfunderstanding, social skills, and self-identity. Educational Domain: focuses on students' development of intellectual understanding as well as school and work understanding. Career Domain: focuses on students' development of task skills and marketability, economic understanding, work world understanding, and leisure time understanding. Delivery Systems: how developmental guidance is implemented within a school. Guidance Curriculum: structured developmental experiences presented systematically through classroom and group activities. Individual Planning: activities that help all students plan, monitor, and manage their own learning as well as their personal and career development. Responsive Services: activities that meet immediate needs and concerns of students whether these needs or concerns require counseling, consultation, referral, or information. System Support: management activities that establish, maintain, and enhance the total guidance program. Summary It is the desire of the Stillwater Area Schools counseling staff to measure the effectiveness of the Stillwater Guidance and Counseling Program. This research project will focus on determining what stakeholders perceive as their needs of the counseling program, ascertaining how well the needs are currently being met, and identifying goals
14 6 in partnership with stakeholders' needs and desired outcomes for the future. Students will realize the primary benefits of this evaluation, but it may also enhance the lives of all stakeholders.
15 7 Chapter 2 Review of Literature Much has been written about the need for school counseling evaluation. To improve, counseling and guidance programs must be evaluated and areas of concern determined (Scruggs, 1999). This chapter will discuss the importance of school counseling program evaluation, methods of conducting an evaluation, a historical perspective of school counseling and the changing role of the school counselor, key elements of programs today, national standards for school counseling, and planning for the future. The Importance of School Counseling Program Evaluation The public outcry for accountability in education, though loud and persistent today, is not a recent development. A call for measurement and accountability with attention to quality education for all students was sounded in the first part of the 20 h century (Cole & Walz, 1988). Numerous authors throughout the 1970s reference the public demand to see that educators and counselors are producing results, in fact opinion polls in 1972 and 1973 indicated that accountability is something that the public felt was necessary and long overdue at that time (Crabbs & Crabbs, 1977). In the foreword of Strengthening K-12 School Counseling Programs, Walter Roberts states: "Society demands that professional school counseling-whether viewed as a component of the overall curricular mission of the school or as an add-on support program-must be able to validate what it does, for whom, and how well it achieves its stated goals" (Rye & Sparks, 1999).
16 8 Receiving adequate staffing and funding for education, school counseling in particular, is an ongoing battle at the local, state and federal levels. Demands for accountability ring clearly through the voices of citizens and legislators at all levels. Policy makers are requiring increasing evidence that supports the effectiveness of various funding initiatives (Lapan, 2001). Evaluation can provide the information needed to substantiate the efficacy of guidance and counseling program appropriations. When counselors have meaningful data to show that the counseling program is meeting goals and impacting students positively, they have evidence to support their position. Trevisan and Hubert (2001) identify program improvement, accountability data regarding student outcomes, and documentation of what counselors actually do in schools as the benefits of program evaluation. In light of the tenuous role school counselors have historically endured within the academic environment of schools (Baker, 2000) program evaluation should be viewed as a priority by school counselors. Yet some authors have argued that a lack of time and training as well as a mistrust of the evaluation process have prevented school counselors from embracing the concept and the implementation of program evaluation (Trevisan & Hubert, 2001). A lack of knowledge often leads to mistrust. Many counselors have been instructed in their counselor education programs in how to conduct research, but received little training it implementing program evaluation. Doing research is offered as a means to generate new knowledge while the purpose for evaluation is to make decisions (Trevisan & Hubert, 2001). Jastrzab (1999) states that more and more, practitioners are willing to have their programs evaluated and want to collaborate in the design of the evaluations. They
17 recognize the importance of evaluation for the external recognition value it offers, as an indicator of how to improve programs, and as a mechanism of accountability. Just as receiving feedback is essential in the learning process for students (Jensen, 1998), professional counselors need accurate and immediate feedback to sharpen their skill and improve their offerings to students. As human beings, counselors desire to enrich themselves. Evaluation is a method of fostering this professional growth. Rye and Sparks (1999) describe the evaluation plan as a means by which adjustments and changes occur. The actual effects of every activity and strategy within a counseling program plan cannot be fully anticipated, and usually some activities are just not effective for a variety of reasons. An evaluation plan provides for regular checkups and allows for continuous improvement. Good evaluation will also show whether the goals of the program were realized, whether the mission was accomplished and if the identified needs were met (Rye & Sparks, 1999). "Well constructed program evaluations provide the kind of meaningful information that can be useful for important system support initiatives, such as reshaping program priorities, arguing for resources, or making reports to the local school board" (Hayslip &VanZandt, 2000). Hughes and James (2001) illustrated how an elementary school counselor avoided major negative changes in her position, precipitated by budget cutbacks, by organizing and presenting evaluative information to a site-based decision-making committee. They recommend developing and implementing an ongoing system for counselor and counseling program accountability. The information can not only be used to counteract threats to the program, but also to promote positive public relations. Four processes are encouraged:
18 10 * Keeping a collection of school counseling references on hand to enable a counselor to quickly access important supportive information from literature and colleagues. Adopting a school counseling model or set of standards reflective of state and national standards to demonstrate systematic program efforts and build credibility. Keeping a record of the time spent on each school counseling activity to communicate an overall sense of the counseling role and how time is accounted. This can be useful in the preparation of annual reports. * Saving and organizing documents about your school counseling program into a portfolio to provide a picture of the total program (Hughes & James, 2001). Especially with the complexity of problems facing students and families today and the accelerating demands placed upon school counselors, it is critical for the identified goals and objectives to provide focus and direction for the counselor. Too often the school counselor is expected to be all things to all people, a standard no one is equipped to meet. Priorities on which to focus must be identified in order to maintain program effectiveness and protect the counseling staff from feeling burned out as they are pulled in every direction. Scruggs (1999) notes that schools spend a minimal amount of time on research, training, and program evaluation. Counselors, like other professionals in education, get overwhelmed with the constant demands of their positions. Unfortunately, both the planning and evaluating tend to get lost in the urgent needs of
19 students, parents, teachers, and administrators. It is a challenge for counselors to place priority on planning and evaluating, but it is essential to the building of a strong counseling program. Herr (2001) emphasizes that school counselors are likely to be continuously required to demonstrate that they achieve results consistent with the outcomes for which accountability has been assigned. Methods of Evaluation Rye and Sparks (1999) identify four types of evaluation: 1) Accountability logs are a way of documenting what has been done. Some counselors maintain simple logs of the kinds and numbers of contacts each day and total them for each week. Another approach is to create a preset list of categories of activities-such as individual counseling, small group counseling, classroom guidance, parent contact, telephone contact, and test interpretation-for keeping a tally. This method is a way of verifying the nature and amount of activity devoted to the many tasks of the counselor. It can provide data for both formative and summative evaluations. 2) Formative Evaluation is the process of collecting and reviewing data for purposes of continuously shaping or improving the program. It requires systematically gathering evidence that can be used as a basis for adjustment and revision of the individual components of the program. This method is aimed at improving the functions, strategies employed, or the expertise of individuals so that the effectiveness of the program can remain focused on accomplishing the established mission and goals.
20 12 3) Summative Evaluation is the final compilation of all evidence of program effectiveness. Data generated by one of the other three methods of evaluation must be examined, analyzed, and interpreted in the appropriate context. 4) Needs-Based Evaluation answers the question "What is to be done?" by seeking information directly from students and other stakeholders (parents, teachers, administrators, employers, business leaders, government leaders) regarding their needs within a school counseling program. The results provide the framework of the program. This method of evaluation can be approached with paper/pencil surveys, structured interviews, and/or focus groups (Rye & Sparks, 1999). Rye and Sparks (1999) have put forth a support system approach to strengthening school counseling programs. Drawing a parallel between physical structures and human institutional endeavors in their need to begin with solid foundations, they assert that by building strong community support and installing a continuous feedback and involvement loop in a program such foundations can be formed. To carry out this approach, they suggest building school-community teams that act as advisory committees, partnering on the planning effort. Once in place, this broad-based school and community support will facilitate the program's effectiveness and create positive public relations, provided that the program meets the expectations of the stakeholders (Rye & Sparks, 1999). Trevisan & Hubert (2001) echo the primary importance of obtaining buy-in from stakeholders, particularly at the district administration level. Administrators and school board members are key decision-makers in educational programming. Their understanding of the job functions and the nature of the school counseling program is vital. They also must learn how the evaluation process is an integral tool in the decision
21 13 making process (Trevisan & Hubert, 2001). Ensuring that the advisory committee includes representation of the school board and district administration is important. At the root of any system or culture is a set of core values and ideals by which the individuals within that system operate. The advisory committee's first step is to define the identity of the program based on the school district's (and the counseling program's) core beliefs and governing values. These are translated into a professional school counseling vision, which gives birth to a mission statement (Rye & Sparks, 1999). The committee then develops a needs-assessment tool that is administered to all stakeholders. Clearly articulated goals and objectives are developed out of this mission statement and the results of the needs-assessment research. An effective school counseling program must be responsive to the population it serves, reflecting the current school needs as well as local and community concerns. For this reason it is both common and desirable for programs to vary from school to school and community to community. The identification of a particular school district's needs and priorities is of paramount importance in laying the foundation for building a strong program and stakeholders must be involved in this process (Rye & Sparks, 1999). An ongoing evaluation process is established as part of the comprehensive plan. The advisory committee plays a continuous and critical role in the planning, implementation, evaluating, and adjusting of the overall program (Rye & Sparks 1999). Hayslip & VanZandt (2000) suggest that a key component in the development of any evaluation is validity. Therefore, they suggest using national standards to aid in the construction of assessment tools, making sure that the theoretical framework and component parts of the model is used (Hayslip & VanZandt, 2000).
22 14 Lapan (2001) refers to results-based comprehensive guidance and counseling programs whose goals are built around obtaining student outcomes in developmental competencies. Evaluation within this systems framework involves gaining understanding of outcomes to be realized, how to effectively bring about these outcomes, and the situations in which various interventions are successful and why they are successful (Lapan, 2001). Historical Perspectives and the Changing Role of the School Counselor Herr (2001) traces the beginnings of the school counseling profession in the United States to the late 1800s. Cremin (as cited in Herr, 2001), a historian of education, suggested that the clearest reminder in contemporary schools of the Progressive Education Movement, which flourished in the last quarter of the 19 th Century and the first 50 years of the 20 th Century, is the guidance counselor. The Progressive Movement was a movement that sought to change negative social conditions associated with the Industrial Revolution, a period of rapid industrial growth, social protest, social reform and utopian idealism in which the United States was deeply involved during this time period (Gysbers & Henderson, 2001). The work of a number of individuals, including people such as Frank Parsons, Meyer Bloomfield, Jessie Davis, Anna Reed, E. W. Weaver, and David Hill, were instrumental in formulating and implementing early conceptions of guidance, each working through a number of organizations and movements such as the settlement house movement, the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, and schools in Grand Rapids, Seattle, New York, and New Orleans (Gysbers & Henderson, 2001).
23 15 Parsons (as cited in Herr, 2001), who was widely seen as the architect of vocational guidance in the United States, saw the process of adapting vocational guidance to the school as fully compatible with the calls for educational reform in the schools in the early 1900s. Representing Parson's position on the need for a vocation guidance effort in the schools Stephens (as cited in Herr, 2001) stated in 1970:... a school curriculum and educational goals that mirrored the occupational structure created merely a platform and impetus for launching youth into the world of work. What was clearly needed to consummate the launch were guidance mechanisms that would insure their safe and efficient arrival on the job. Without guidance experts it was argued, other efforts at reform would be aborted... the youth who had been carefully trained would also have to be carefully counseled into a suitable occupational niche (Herr, 2001, p. 237). The initial label of vocational education representing school counseling which later evolved to vocational guidance during the infancy of the school counseling movement strongly focused on the training and guidance of young people to enter the work force. Throughout history school counseling has experienced a number of shifts in emphasis, each reflecting its own socio-historical context (Sink & MacDonald, 1998). Herr (2001) suggests that the rise of school counseling at the end of the 19 t Century was accelerated by the demands of the industrial revolution for workers, the need to match the large number of immigrants coming to this nation seeking better economic opportunities with the available jobs, and the concerns of many of the early pioneers of school counseling.

What Content Writing Services Can Do For YouBy Expert Author: Matthew Scott
Content writing services are normally offered in three major categories: Web Content, Articles, and SEO Content.
Basically, web content specializes in providing relevant text content for websites. Since each website targets a certain niche audience or market, therefore, the content writing for that specific market is required.
General article writing is like writing for newspapers or magazines. It still follows the basic journalistic writing based on the who, what, when, where, why, and how. This type of writing is still sought out for the internet due to the growing number of news, feature-oriented, and e-Book oriented websites springing up like mushrooms in a bid to take over traditional paper and wavelength media.
SEO content focuses on articles that contain keywords in its articles with the corresponding anchor texts and call to action for readers urging them to buy the mentioned products and services or to click on the links that lead them to the main business website.
Content writers for all three types of writing services must have at least a broad experience in any type of writing. It is the writer's task to churn out articles to attract visitors to a website in all three categories. Once the visitor has entered and is browsing the website, the said visitor must be retained in such a way that eventually he either buys a product, avails of the site's services, or eventually leaves but, returns at a later date to make a purchase because he has found what he needs from the website.
In today's fast paced internet, there is an ever-growing demand for quality writing, particularly with keyword-sensitive and grammar-conscious SEO content writing service. Quality articles always translate to larger revenues for online businesses. Content writers usually cover the following tasks:
1. Create or edit articles to inform the reader, and to promote or sell a product or service shown in the website.
2. Create content to entice visitors to the website and continue reading and browsing. The longer a visitor stays in a site, the greater the chances they will become a potential client or customer.
3. If the content focuses on search engine optimization, the text must contain relevant keywords that will most likely be visited by users from web searches associated with the actual site for better search engine ranking and indexing.
4. Provide readers with quick and useful information for everyday living benefits such as how-to's, tips and tricks, do's and don'ts of, and other user-friendly materials.
Web content aims to be searchable and for relevance. Most often, content writing is outsourced to external providers like freelance copywriters or larger specialized companies whose services range from SEO and social media marketing, proofreading and editing, to web designing and development.

When Mike Tomlin was hired as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, Vikings coach Brad Childress was forced to replace his defensive coordinator. But Childress wasn't forced to find a new coach for the team's wide receivers, yet he did – and his players are giving George Stewart rave reviews.
"You can talk to Coach Stewart about anything, not just about football," said rookie wide receiver Chandler Williams, a seventh-round draft choice who is trying to make the jump from Florida International to the National Football League. "If you have problems at home or women problems, any problems you have, he's not just a football coach. He said we can call him at 4 o'clock in the morning if we're going over our playbook and need to know something. Actually, Sidney (Rice) called him at about 2:30 and he answered the phone, so I mean Coach Stewart, I think he's probably the best receivers coach I've ever had. I haven't called him because I know he's probably sleeping. He works hard out here, so I'll save it for the morning."
Talking with a number of the wide receivers, especially younger ones, in some cases they are looking for a mentor as much as they are a coach.
Fifth-round draft choice Aundrae Allison can appreciate Stewart's personality.
"I see so much in him. I just thanked him today for being on me the way he (does) and teaching me so much these early weeks that I've been here so far," Allison said last month. "I know that he's been known as one of the top five wide receiver coaches in the NFL. I just feel I've been blessed to be in this position and be coached by a guy like him. His resume speaks for itself."
But it's not just rookies who appreciate Stewart's approach to coaching. Free-agent acquisition Cortez Hankton is going into his fifth season in the league and he, too, speaks highly of Stewart without prompting.
"We have a young group and he's coached the best out there. I tell him all the time, this is my fifth year in the league and this is the first time I feel like I'm actually being coached," Hankton said of Stewart, who has coached under Lou Holtz at the University of Minnesota and Notre Dame, as well as being an assistant for Chuck Noll, George Seifert, Sam Wyche and Dan Reeves. "I love Coach Stewart for everything he does for the group and also myself."
Stewart's personal approach with his receivers isn't the only aspect of his interaction that has him as a suddenly popular guy among the coaching staff. He has the resume that gains respect from the players.
Stewart has coached with the Pittsburgh Steelers (1989-91, special teams), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1992-95, special teams and tight ends), San Francisco (1996-99, special teams; and 2000-02, wide receivers) and Atlanta Falcons (2003-06, wide receivers). It was in San Francisco that Stewart earned acclaim for working with Terrell Owens during his formative years. Owens averaged 97 receptions and earned Pro Bowl berths in each season while Stewart was coaching him.
His teams have also enjoyed success. In addition to coaching on a playoff team in San Francisco, his Pittsburgh and Atlanta teams were playoff squads when he was with them. In fact, during six of Stewart's 11 seasons coaching in the NFL, his teams have had at least 10 wins.
With the Vikings' young receivers, however, it seems Stewart gains credibility for the name players he was worked with.
"Coming into the NFL, T.O. was my favorite receiver, along with legends like Jerry Rice. (Stewart) was able to coach those guys in their early days," Allison said. "I just feel like knowing that in itself, it just speaks volumes. It gives me the idea that if I listen to him and just basically soak in the stuff the veterans say, I'll be one of those guys in the coming years."
For the veteran Hankton, it is more about what Stewart is teaching rather than who he has coached in the past. According to Hankton, it's Stewart's instruction in the finer points of the position that make him a well-respected coach among his pupils.
"Paying attention to the fine details, from route-running to catching the ball – it's just a whole bunch of stuff. Coming out of your breaks, he does it all," Hankton said. "He had my respect before because of who he's coached and what he's done in the past, and just his NFL experience. But now even more so because I've actually worked with him."

- Fastest /best mobo for Athlon XP 3200?
- 01-09-2007
- geronimo
January 9, 2007, 7:22 pm
/DDR 400, and so I would like opinion of what is the best motherboard
(and fastest) to use with it. I would like to run 1 mb RAM in
dual-channel mode. Has to be AGP video. I'm talking the very fastest
Athlon motherboard ever produced. I have a Radeon X850 XT on the way,
will be used in present system until I upgrade....so the upgrade mobo
has to be AGP also. THanks, Geronimo
January 9, 2007, 7:53 pm
Re: Fastest /best mobo for Athlon XP 3200?
Don't bother, it'll be a waste of time even if free parts.
nForce2 chipset, which is what you already have. There are
other boards with more integrated features, but performance
differences on what yours already supports will be minimal,
not worth changing a board.
There is no reasonable upgrade for what you want to do,
enjoy the X850 and when it's time to upgrade again you will
need to abandon socket A. If you want best performance for
this AGP video card, go with a socket 754 Athlon platform.
If you can get your money back from the video card seller, I
would get a PCI Express video card instead and PCI Express
motherboard and supported CPU.
January 9, 2007, 8:36 am
Re: Fastest /best mobo for Athlon XP 3200?
A guy just yesterday, bought a 3200+ Barton AthlonXP for $160.
He could have had an Athlon64 S939 3200+ Venice from Newegg for
$59. There are S939 AGP motherboards out there.
Venice 3200+ $59
S939 AGP motherboards $61 - $67
So it looks like, for somewhere around $126, you can get a processor
and motherboard to match or exceed your existing platform.
If you are looking for an A7N8X-E Deluxe (S462) or similar, they'll
likely only be found on Ebay.

January 9, 2007, 11:34 pm
Re: Fastest /best mobo for Athlon XP 3200?
Wow....going this route.....Athlon 64/ S939 mobo..... would cost HALF
of what I was considering! I thought that all the Athlon 64 boards
only supported PCI Express video.
But is there a site that has benchmark comparisons between say the
Athlon XP 3200/Asus A7n8x-E DLX route I was considering and Athlon 64
3200/ low-end S939 AGP mobos you referenced? I am thinking your Athlon
64 would smoke the older technology....question is by what factor?
Thanks, Geronimo

If there is any doubt in your mind, there are faster S939 processors
than the 3200+ (2.0GHz 512KB L2 cache).
There is an FX-55 for $209 (2.6GHz 1MB L2 cache). (By comparison,
the 4000+ is 2.4GHz 1MB L2 cache.)
There is even an FX-57 for $289 (2.8GHz 1MB L2 cache).
There is a 3800+ Venice single core for $89 (2.4GHz 512KB L2 cache)
There is a chart on this page, comparing game performance.
http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=2149 -->
Basically, each 200MHz step of clock, is worth 300+ on the
P.R. scale, and changing 512KB cache to 1MB cache, is worth
200+ on the P.R. scale.

Re: Fastest /best mobo for Athlon XP 3200?
That would be the ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe (or similar)
or the Abit AN7.
Both excellent high performance motherboards.
However, I'm not sure I'd bother.
you could probably over clock your current CPU the small amount needed to
reach XP3200 speeds.
For the money you would spend on the s/hand CPU and Board, you could buy a
faster brand new CPU and board.
If you do go the Socket A route, stay away from the ASUS A7V880, just in
case you were ever even considering it.

Good 3.1 /5 from 85 reviews
It was okay. Room decor was good. Not much of a breakfast, grab and go. Still some Freeway noise with double window, overall what I expected and staff was really helpful and friendly.
It was an amazing night
That was not a queen sized bed. It is not easy getting in and out of property due to traffic on main road and no light to assist.
Clean no frills lodging; nice place
I was disappointed to know that pets overran the hotel! Both of our neighbors were dog owners who looked like they lived in the hotel for quite sometime! The dogs smell emulated through the whole hallway and it was the first thing we noticed! But it was a great stay besides the barking because I was sure the dogs were left in the room!
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Commercial slammed as 'Fifties-era sexist' for implying women can't buy cars without 'bringing a dude' with them
A recent commercial has come under fire for pinning women as helpless without men when it comes to buying cars.
The TrueCar.com ad, which originally aired in March, shows a series of women explaining how 'tough' it is to 'hold [their] own' at the car dealership.
At the end of the commercial, one of the women sums up her experience using the automotive pricing website: 'I don't need to bring a dude with me,' she says.

Sexist? A TrueCar commercial has come under fire for pinning women as helpless without men when it comes to buying cars
Gender stereotypes: The ad, which originally aired in March, shows a series of women explaining how 'tough' it is to 'hold [their] own' at the car dealership
Offended viewers have taken to the company's Facebook page to opine about the contentious ad.
'Your recent ad is sexist and extremely offensive,' wrote one person. 'Women in my family bought cars alone since the 1960s.
'I am not a slave to a man, and I don't conform to gender roles that make no sense and damage society as a whole,' she concluded.
Others have asserted that the video is only sexist in that it makes it seem like women inherently have a hard time negotiating at a car dealership, while men never have the same problem.
'Did Don Draper do this commercial? It seems like something out of the Fifties'
Indeed, the commercial shows a sequence of three customers, all of whom are female and discuss the 'anxiety' of buying a car alone.
One commenter wrote on the YouTube video: 'The problem is whatshername saying she doesn't need to bring a "dude" with her instead of [saying] a "car expert".
'This is underscored by not showing any dudes using the service, only women.'
And some have compared the video to Mad Men-era advertisements, which often portrayed women as completely dependent on men.
Backlash: Some have compared the video to Mad Men era advertisements, which portrayed women as totally dependent on men
TrueCar has since issued an apology, saying that the commercial's aim was to be 'pro-consumer and pro-women'
'Did Don Draper do this commercial?' wrote an angry commenter. 'It seems like something out of the Fifties. Like that Ketchup ad that says, "So easy even she can open it!"'
The car company has since issued an apology on Twitter, writing: 'As you can imagine, we are definitely trying to remedy. Again our apologies. This was not our intention at all.'
'The problem is her saying she doesn't need to bring a "dude" with her instead of a "car expert"'
According to TrueCar, the controversial ad was centered around women because of a recent survey, which found that 77per cent of women 'preferred bringing a man to a car dealership when shopping for a car.'
The company asserted that the commercial's aim was to show that 'being a more informed car buyer benefits consumers'.
'This particular ad is pro-consumer and pro-women,' TrueCar said in a statement. 'It was developed by our creative director, who is a woman, and it addresses a real consumer issue in the marketplace.'

Starting in the place of injured Kirk Walters was Mohamed Tangara and the redshirt sophomore played pretty well. He looked more confident and also player more aggressive.
The first thing you noticed, was just how athletic this team is. There is size and speed at every position. With both sides trying to run whenever possible, it was quite apparent that this team has speed and works best in transition.
What was very good to see was that, for the most part, the team was shooting very well from the outside. Chase Budinger, Jawann McClellan, Mustafa Shakur and Marcus Williams.
The top group won going away. Scoring in the high 60's in just 20:00 and winning the first half by over 30 points.
The second 20:00 saw the team's divvied up more evenly, with an emphasis on tough match-ups for each spot.
Here is a look at several of the individual performances:
Mustafa Shakur: The senior point guard was not spectacular, but the offense functioned better with him on the floor. He hit a few outside shots and had the pull-up jumper working. It was the type of smart, steady performance that Wildcat fans want to see from their point guard.
Marcus Williams: Williams played well on both ends. He had the outside shot working and made a few nice steals that led to easy transition buckets.
Chase Budinger: The freshman has already put on good weight since I saw him two weeks ago at the team's media day. His legs appear to be back and he was showcasing a great stroke. He was getting a lot of work with the first team and appears destined to get a lot of playing time this season.
J.P. Prince saw most of his work on the wing, but played well, especially on defense where he used his great length to disrupt a handful of passes. His stroke appeared better and he had a very nice dunk in transition.
Jawann McClellan: It was a mixed bag for McClellan. Early on he looked a little rusty, almost as if he did not have his legs. Later in the scrimmage he played very well. He nailed an NBA three and made a pair of sweet no-look passes. McClellan also boarded very well, as well as any wing did during the scrimmage.
Nic Wise: Wise did not take care of the ball as well as I am used to seeing. It's not that he made bad or lazy passes, but on a few occasions it looked as if he did not anticipate just how long and quick some of the defenders were. For the most part Wise continues to play well. He worked a lot with Prince and/or Daniel Dillon which gave the team a lot of players on the floor at one time who are very good passers.
Fendi Onobun: Onobun saw time at both the three and the four. He is very intriguing as he is truly a combo forward. He was able to put the ball on the floor and drive, but also used his strength very well against weaker players. I am anxious to see what the Wildcats decide to do as he is a very unique player in the Pac-10 and could be a huge mismatched if given the opportunity.
*At one point the Cats ran a backcourt of Marcus Williams, Chase Budinger and Jawann McClellan.
*Arizona commitment was in town for his official visit.
*Walters continues to be held out of "contact" situations as he recovers from a concussion suffered a few weeks back.
