return to religion-onlineEducation in the Local Church
Amy Frykholm reviews a successful high school curriculum that teaches students how to build strong dating relationships in marriage preparation.
Using a Girl Scout survey of the moral and spiritual perspectives of American youth, Heischman cites data that indicate youth are quite religious and moral in outlook, but have difficulty connecting their faith with issues of character. He suggests churches need to help youth develop a moral language through discussions of character and more effective modeling directly with young people by youth leaders and especially pastors.
To a family and children inescapably caught in literalistic Biblical interpretation: Children are amazingly resilient, even to stories of violence, especially when from a secure home. Stories are part of our culture and need to be known -- especially Biblical stories -- even in their violence. Your (liberal) presence in such an environment will have an impact, even if totally outnumbered.
No longer can we assume that the educational understandings that have informed us, or the theological foundations that have undergirded our programs are adequate for today. The author suggests some major modifications in educational assumptions.
The Da Vinci Code -- both novel and the movie -- even though false, offer an exciting story which is a big help in understanding Christianity.
The consequences of much of theological education are found in the dispersion and fragmentation of the curriculum and an individualistic understanding of the ministry.
The authors provide a "work session" to help the reader identify what theology is, why it is important and how it is done. Case study illustrations.
The author hears in current serious fiction a whisper of that still, small voice for which our faith has taught us to listen.
We must help teens think about, practice and experience the theological details that make Christianity distinct. Living these details of the gospel is not supposed to be easy, or necessarily safe, but it's what Christians do.
The Sunday school must be freed from five stereotypes: 1. The Sunday school is an organism with a life of its own that cannot be changed. 2. "Sunday school," is only for children. 3. The intellectual level of Sunday school content is superficial. 4. The Sunday school is characterized by the use of mindless methodology. 5. The purpose of the Sunday school is to teach the Bible.
The authors summarize the apologetic stories of a number of writers including Collins, D'Souza, Keller and Wright. These operate from very different disciplines and social roles, and in all of it, character precedes argument, for it seems all arguments fail if Christianity does not create generous-hearted people.
A Christianity without Christian formation is no match for the powerful social forces at work within our society. If it is to fulfill its function as the place where Christians are formed, the church must acknowledge its changed status and must now compete, in an open market, with other claimants for the truth.
The author shares vivid recollections of experiences in Vacation Bible School and Sunday School from her girlhood in a Methodist church.
It is wishful thinking to believe that the educational system can assume the responsibility of passing to the next generation the central and binding values, as well as the moral and ethical concepts, that set us free to be who we can be.
A new look at the purpose and method of confirmation, along with some appropriate suggestions that Willimon has put into practice in his own ministry.
Coming from the position that doing theology is not so much a matter of picking a system of thought as it is acquiring a way of life and a perspective for understanding all of life, Anthony B. Robinson reports on his experience of teaching a class on theology for his parishioners based on the idea that the main business of theology is to make sense of one's life.
Truthiness – the notion that what "feels true" must be treatd as true – helps account for the extraordinary success of The Da Vinci Code.
Some educators think it is too late, that the church school is dead, that the church itself may be dying. Others are convinced that the positive signs point to a future of enormous potential. The question is not which point of view is true, but which one we should accept, and then, with God's help, try to make it come true.
Youth ministry will become what it should be when the churches start asking what the gospel means in our time, in our own neighborhoods, and starts practices that build a distinct way of life.
ENTIRE BOOK The problem of communicating Christian teaching -- especially the use of language in bible study. How can we say what we mean about God so that our assertions will be understood, accepted, and responded to?
Despite all evidence to the contrary, the author does not see a place of significance for the Sunday school in the future. It is too bound to the past to meet the needs of a new age. He has a different vision of the future of the church and religious education.
If there cannot be three cheers for the Sunday school as a thriving institution, or two cheers for its record, let there be at least one cheer for the ways the grace of God lives on in it.
This article reviews three teaching orders: 1. Progressive Lectures and teaching materials by James Efird. 2. The Web-based curriculum, The Thoughtful Christian, written by an enormous diverse group of respected scholars. 3. The work of the New Monastics which cuts against the grain of conventional wisdom.
Education, like physical growth itself, is the product of two dissimilar aspects: 1. Experience -- in the form of words, actions, sights and sounds -- to be collected and funneled into an individual. 2. Time -- in which to sort out and reject and organize the information, to select and integrate what is significant and relate it to the previous integrations in one's life.
That churches are not doing what it takes to make faith mature is the sobering finding of an important new study of mainline denominations. 'Nothing matters more than Christian education. Done well, it has the potential -- more than any other area of congregational life -- to promote faith and loyalty.

You can have a loan with a fixed rate or one with a variable rate. A fixed rate will not change throughout the term of the loan, while a variable rate is the combination of the prime rate, plus an additional percent amount provided by your financial institution.
If you have a loan with a variable rate, the rate will change over the term of the loan. Since future rates cannot be predicted, accurate predictions can only be made using fixed rates.
We have assumed that the interest rates on government sponsored loans are equivalent to Canada Student Loans, which carry a maximum fixed interest rate of the prime rate plus 5% or a maximum variable rate of the prime rate plus 2.5%. Provincial student loans have different interest rates varying from province to province, so your results may differ. Interest on government-sponsored loans, such as the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP), generates a tax credit, while interest on non-government loans does not.
There is a 6-month grace period on government-sponsored student loans where payments are not required. However, during this period interest will accumulate. For the purpose of this calculation, we have assumed that loan repayments start immediately after graduation.
By increasing your monthly payment by $50 you could save money on interest and decrease your payback period.
By increasing your monthly payment by $100 you could save money on interest and decrease your payback period.

Ripoff Report
Walmart.com702 SW 8th Street, Bentonville, Arkansas USA
Walmart.com, Keepsake Diamond Fake Diamond Sold as Genuine, Bentonville Arkansas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Nine years ago, my husband surprised me at Christmas with what we both believed was a diamond engagement ring. He ordred it from Walmart.com and it came with a certificate of authenticity from Keepsake Diamonds.
Recently the stone fell out. I took it to a jeweler to be repaired and who informed me t was not a diamond at all. I called Walmart's customer service line and was told that because the purchase was so long ago, there was nothing they could do. It's only guaranteed for 90 days.n I just had to spend the rest of my life with a fake diamond engagement ring.
I've looked at the Keepsake Diamond guarantee, which is in very tiny print and is only for a year.
Most people do not run out to get their jewelry appraised within 90 days of purchase or even within a year, especially people who can only afford to apy $300 to $500 for a ring. We just trust the retailer.
Diamonds are not like blenders. Theyre tems people cherish for a lifetime. Selling fake diamonds to people who believe they are the real thing is just plain wrong.

Not Even A Remote Possiblity
SUBMITTED: Monday, November 25, 2013POSTED: Monday, November 25, 2013
The ring was delivered via Fed Ex or UPS, don't remember which. I picked up the box from the front door myself so there was no way my husband could have switched it out for a cubic zirconia even if he wanted to. We'd been married for eight years at the time, and this was supposed to be the engagement ring I'd never had. It was a total surprise, a romantic gesture from a man who rarely makes them. And while he has his faults, a lack of integrity isn't one of them.

Before you jump on walmart you might look closer to home. I know you thing your fiance wouldnt do anything like Im about to suggest but its a more plausable incident. I know from my own experience with Diamonds, that sometimes the male will but a regualr diamond but them go and get it exchanged with a cibic zirconian. This way if the relationship fails and the female keeps the ring the male is not out a diamond. Im not saying that they did this but I have seen it A LOT!!

Similar to the popular "tramp stamp" the man stamp is a tattoo on a man's lower back. Usually it is a tribal tattoo but it can consist of anything.

The patch of hair on a man's lower back in the same area that a woman would get a "tramp stamp" tattoo. This patch of hair is typically the only hair they have on their back, and is often similar in size and shape to a tramp stamp.
When John took his shirt off, the man stamp peaking out above his shorts put Mary's tramp stamp to shame.

A small cut, scraped, red, or scarred patch of skin on a mans lower back as the result of falling onto the region. Usually caused in an accident from riding a skateboard, BMX, or lesser "action sport" item such as inline skating or longboarding.
1. I fell on my back trying to ollie up a curb and got a wicked man stamp.
2. Keep on doing that rail with your shirt off and you're going to end up with a man stamp.

My daughters busdriver ran over a dog
Op...I hope your daughter didnt see too much. Life goes on..drive her tomorrow then let her ride the bus on Monday.
This is so sad. I feel sorry for all involved. The lady for the loss of her dear pet, you and those who witnessed this, including the children. The bus driver probably was not allowed to stop any longer since it would delay her schedule. I wish that she had seen the dog and avoided hitting him. :(
Need some Time for You? Feeling stressed? Kick back, relax & take a break. If you're a woman who just wants to have fun, here's the place :)
Aww this is sad ;(
All around though, it is a sad situation for all involved. :-(
Quoting Mommy4-27-08: I know a couple bus drivers and here in Washington the bus drivers are not allowed to stop for animals in the road. Because the kids aren't wearing seat belts, if they slam on their breaks for an animal, all the kids can fly out of their seat or hit the seat in front of them, which could all cause damage to the children. It is really sad, though does kind of make sense when you think about it. If you got a call that you had to go to the hospital because your child broke their arm or something when the bus driver slammed on their brakes to avoid a cat, you'd probably be a little irritated and the school district would have to pay for it. He also probably did not stop because he had other children on the bus that he needed to get home.
All around though, it is a sad situation for all involved. :-(
In some states a person who hits a dog has to stay with the animal until the police come (or owner)
If you don't it is considered a hit and run (just as if you hit a mailbox or someones trees)
I would report it to the bus company for sure. What state are you in?

There was no danger of fire today as the rain continued to fall. We were headed to the fishing village of St Helen's and the gateway to - ironically - the Bay of Fires. We drove up to Binalong Bay where we didn't fancy joining the hardy locals swimming in the surf but instead walked along the beach and went for a clamber - and occasional slip - on the rocks
Back in town we dried out at the rather sparse hostel (no TV, radio, oven, couch or sauna) where there was nothing for it but cards and goon whilst Rob prepared his famous Stir Fry a la Wigan followed by apple pie and melted ice cream (there was no freezer either).
It was back to breakfast normalcy for the Italians which consisted of muesli and honey followed by toast and honey washed down with honey tea. Continuing up to the Bay of Fires I took Norris on a bit of an expedition down an unsealed road. For over an hour we bumped along and at times we couldn't go more than 10mph over the potholes. With no radio reception (not even McDonalds adverts) it was only the shaking of Norris's old bones that prevented me hearing the Teutonic whining from the backseat. At least the sun was out. After a quick look around the Eddystone Point lighthouse we hit a white deserted beach and went for a blimmin' chilly dip before getting lacerated by a sandstorm.
Somehow the Italians survived another night without pasta (this time Left Over Veggies and Tatties a la Wigan) and onwards we went along the north coast. After a brief stop at Penguin and Boat Harbour Beach we made it to Stanley, home of The Nut
Aussies like to put interesting things on their burgers, such as carrot, beetroot and pineapple. Sophie's fishburger came with a fried egg on it. The look on her face was priceless. Up until two days ago she's never had a fried egg and she'd certainly never had a fishburger. These facts, coupled with EPD (Extreme Pasta Deprivation), would no doubt lead to an uber-strop of Alpine proportions. Me and Robbed were braced but somehow it didn't happen, probably due to her lack of pasta-based energy.
The next day was fairly uneventful except for a long drive through the mountians to Strahan on the west coast. During a pasta dinner (happy days!) we bumped in to some cricket fans that Rob knew. They told us about a campground at Mole Creek near Cradle Mountain where we could get a caravan for only 15 quid for the four of us
The next two nights we had booked at Cradle Mountain National Park where I hoped to do a couple of hikes. Unfortunately, the rains came again and we ended up walking for 3 hours around the Lakes getting wet and windswept. Back at the bunkhouse we stoked a big log fire to dry our gear, and talked to other travellers. One said that snow was forecast for the morning which would mean that there wouldn't be any point in attempting the six hour hike to Cradle Mountain as I wouldn't be able to see anything. And I'd probably freeze.
We awoke to a dusting of snow as predicted. I couldn't sit around doing nothing all day so with the Italians I did an easy guided walk for a couple of hours in the sleet and rain with Ranger Bob and a few fat Aussies. It was disappointing not to get to the mountain - or even see it - but strangely it was nice to feel cold again, although I was more than happy to spend the rest of the day in front of a big log fire!

Inside North Louisiana's Chimp Haven
Meet - Henry Jimoh And Valentina Rose. They're among over 150 residents at chimp haven, just outside Shreveport. "All of these chimpanzees are unique, unique personalities." The vast majority of these chimpanzees are older... and came from laboratories, where they were used in biomedical research.Many are infected with hepatitis and HIV. "Chimps have used for many many decades for finding vaccines and curing human ailments what we do know now is that because of tech advances chimps are no longer necessary or needed in research" said Cathy Willis Spraetz, Chimp Haven President. As a result, there are numerous chimpanzees that need a safe place to retire. Chimp haven was founded in 1995 for this reason - and opened its doors in the early 2000's. Many chimpanzees had spent decades inside, in small cages. But here's it's a whole new world."Sometimes it's the first time in over 40 years they've been exposed to the grass and trees out in the habitats some adjust better than others, some when they come are afraid to put their feet on the grass and they might pop their feet back up and touch the grass real tentatively" said Amy Fultz, Chimp Haven Behaviorist. And as you can see here - there's room for chimps like Pierre to run and ... express them.
This deep moat stops Pierre from coming any closer. Chimpanzees can't swim because they have so much muscle mass and not enough body fat. They would sink in the water.But there are other, shallow water crossings here for them to play in."Real apprehensive we actually had to put a rock in an area where there's an inlet down there because the chimpanzees weren't crossing and the water was only 12 inches deep." And treats - of course, never get old. On this day it was greens... the chimpanzees are very pleased."A food bark is a chimpanzee vocalization when they see preferred foods." Watermelon is also a favorite snack. Caregivers say they're treats .. well deserved..
"Chimps have been used for many many decades for finding vaccines and curing human ailments what we do know now is that bc of tech advances chimps are no longer necessary or needed in research -- and quite frankly these decades of spending their lives in labs this was not a contribution that they willingly made to us as humans, they made it bc they were taken into captivity and it was taken from them and so it's really important for us to care about that and to remember what they've done and what they have contributed to society and it's only right for us to give back to them."

The obvious answer may be both, but if you had to choose one....
Your best bet is to go it alone and sell it yourself. Offer it up on forums like #*$! and SitePoint, etc. At that price, you will probably find a buyer.
[oddly this forum won't allow me to mention one of the forums above - which is Digital Point. Just google it and you can find it - Both sites have a marketplace for selling ad space]

Pharmacy technicians thus certified has to be recertified every a couple of years after completing 20 hours of training. I noticed many similarities involving the two stores, yet simultaneously, I also noticed many differences. A pharmacy, whether located in a retail environment or setup exclusively to supply supplies to a medical facility, has to follow certain

There were twelve teams representing seven clubs. Saturday was sunny sunshine and a good force 3 with many bigger gusts to give planning on the down wind legs. The format was a full round robin tournament enabling all teams to sail each other. The competitors very quickly picked up on the need to know the current start number and what colour to make their 'bibs', blue or orange, and all 66 races were sailed with a short break for lunch and another in the afternoon.
It soon became apparent that Lymington, Papercourt and Bowmoor had sent strong teams. When they met each other the team racing tactics were in evidence but against some of the less experienced teams their boat speed was enough to see them home. Meanwhile, these younger teams were finding their feet and beginning to race more tactically when they met each other.
On Sunday the fleet was split; the top six teams went into a Gold Fleet league and the remaining 6 into the Silver league. The intention was to sail a double round robin for each league which would give the competitors more balanced competition.
The Gold league was Lymington Lancers, Lymington Launchers, Lymington Longhorns, Lymington Lions, Bowmoor and Papercourt. Silver was Lymington Lanterns, Thames Valley Terrors (Dorchester & Wraysbury), Burghfield Beaters, Burghfield Bandits, Warsash, and Weir Wood Warriors.
The split was well taken by the competitors. Burghfield Beaters missed gold by one point but took it practically saying that they realised that they would get better racing in silver.
The wind was considerably less than on Saturday and the course was shortened to keep the races around 10 minutes long. The racing was noticeably closer than on Saturday and the lighter winds changed the balance making it more difficult for the older but heavier competitors to dominate. They had to revert to tactical sailing to stay in the hunt. The first round robin was sailed for each fleet and a start made on the second before the lunch break, taking it up to race 105.
Unfortunately as the fleet launched after lunch the wind disappeared as the clouds grew in the north west. It returned occasionally as the clouds passed but inconsistently and after race 112 the fleet was sent ashore.
The race team made the decision that, rather than try to complete the second round robin, they would take the results of the one completed just before lunch and ask the top two teams in each league race to sail a best of 3 race final.
This turned out to be a good decision. The remaining competitors were able to pack up before the heavens opened!
Meanwhile, the wind had filled in again back to its force 3 to provide ideal if somewhat colder conditions for the finals.
The silver league final was a close fought affair between Thames Valley Terrors and Burghfield Beaters. The first race was won by Thames Valley Terrors by 17 points to 19, with boats finishing so close to each other that they had to ask the result.
The second race was a mirror image, Burghfield Beaters beat Thames Valley Terrors by the same margin, again with very close finishes. So it went to the 3rd race. There was much tactical sailing on the last beat and the points went 18 each. Thames Valley Terrors got it on the tie break by getting their points without the first. It couldn't have been closer.
The Gold Final was not quite so closely fought. Lymington Lancers showed their class, enjoying the slightly stronger breeze to register two straight wins over Lymington Launchers the first 14 vs 22 and the second closer and harder fought at 16 vs 20.
In summary it was a fantastic weekends sailing for everyone and particular thanks must go to Steve & Fiona Tylecote and Ian Bullock who brought the whole event together.
As title sponsors, Basilica made the whole event possible. Supporting partner Sew Your Gear ensured that the large team of helpers had something to remember the event by. For every three sailors there were two adults in the umpiring or race management team and the organizers would like to thank everyone who gave up their weekend to ensure the event ran smoothly.

Oil prices dip on persistent fuel supply overhang
On Friday, crude prices sagged during early trade, as the market refocused on a constant fuel supply overhang, which is not supposed to abate unless OPEC along with other producers makes a considerable cut to their output.
US West Texas Intermediate crude futures were worth $44.40 a barrel, down 0.6%, from their previous settlement, with a stronger greenback also weighing on oil prices. International Brent crude oil futures sank 0.4%, trading at $45.67 a barrel.
Traders told that an everlasting crude as well as refined product supply overhang, which has dogged markets for over two years, was weighing on crude markets.
Crude prices headed south as the focus returned to supply growth. The IEA thinks that prices might keep retreating amid relentless supply growth unless OPEC makes considerable supply cuts.
In 2017, the supply overhang could run into a third year without a production cut from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, while escalating output from other exporters could generate relentless supply growth, as the International Energy Agency told on Thursday.

CEOs on War: Get It Over With
Like most Americans, the leaders of major U.S. corporations are divided over whether a U.S. war with Iraq is a smart move. But on one issue, the boardroom set is nearly unanimous: When it comes to jump-starting a weak U.S. economy, war is hell.
Not war itself, mind you. Few executives queried by BusinessWeek reporters seemed worried that a prolonged conflict might send the tinder-box Middle East up in flames. Rather, CEOs say, continued doubts about the starting date, shape, and duration of the showdown with Iraq are acting as a lead weight, delaying investment and hiring decisions while sending oil prices up and the stock market down (see BW Online, 1/23/03, "CEOs, Learn to Live with Risk").
That's why growing international clamor for more time for U.N. weapons inspectors to scour Iraq isn't necessarily music to CEOs' ears. Many fear that a prolonged inspection timetable -- anywhere from two months to a year -- would merely deepen the cloud of uncertainty that now hangs over the U.S.
"The economy is just staggering along right now," says Wilbur L. Ross Jr., CEO of the investment firm W.L. Ross. "People are worried about jobs. People are worried about war. People are worried about terrorism. People are just worried in general."
According to W. David Sanders, senior vice-president for integration services at Bearing Point, a consulting outfit that's the successor to KPMG Consulting, many tech companies are delaying new purchases due to the uncertain war climate. Sanders wouldn't offer an opinion on the U.N. arms inspection, but he says the clear delays are a problem. "We've got to know if we're going or not going," he asserts.
That view is echoed in Little Rock, Ark., home of data-services company Acxiom (ACXM ). CEO Charles D. Morgan says he has seen a surge in new business over the last month or so, but he fears that this nascent rebound could be snuffed out by Iraq-o-phobia. "Probably getting [the war] over sooner is better," he muses. "All of us in business want to get this mess behind us."
John Connors, chief financial officer of Microsoft (MSFT ), expresses a sense of helplessness about the attenuated war scenario that's fairly typical in techdom these days. "The biggest impact is on [potential customers'] willingness to increase capital spending budgets," he says. "Uncertainty is not a good thing for business commitments." Ultimately, Microsoft might be forced to take a short-term earnings hit if business slows down because of a real or threatened war. "There's not a thing we can do about the overall geopolitical economy," he says. "We'll just keep plugging away."
How about manufacturing? Leaders of old-line companies feel the same sense of dread. James G. O'Connor, head of North American sales and marketing for Ford (F ), terms the Iraq conflict "the other wild card in the first quarter" -- the first being Detroit's wave of profit-crunching buyer incentives. Even so, many Motown auto execs are convinced that the depressant effect of a Gulf war will be transient as fascination with the military drama fades. "It comes back quick," predicts O'Connor. [At the war's onset] "everyone stays home to watch television, then there's a pop from deferred sales."
Not all business leaders have a case of anticipatory shell-shock about the looming showdown with Saddam Hussein. One of the optimists is billionaire Samuel Zell, chairman of two of the nation's biggest real-estate investment trusts -- Chicago-based Equity Office Properties Trust (EOP ) and Equity Residential Properties Trust (EXTA ). While Zell concedes that war talk is depressing the economy, he still sees growth averaging a robust 3% to 3.5% this year, and he discounts fears of an Iraqi quagmire. "It's very hard for me to imagine that the war will drag on," he says. "The military will use quickly escalating force to attain its objective."
The business community's sentiments deepen the dilemma President Bush faces. The more he listens to appeals for delay from the international community, the longer he puts off the military day of reckoning with Saddam. That fosters uncertainty at home, which translates into continued U.S. economic malaise.
"This [war] overhang makes it harder to get the economy moving again," concludes Brookings Institution economist Peter Orsag. An even more alarming view comes from Morgan Stanley chief economist Stephen Roach, a hyperbear who warns that "the Iraq factor" may well be the final straw -- the shock that takes a stalling U.S. economy back into recession.
Gloomy? You bet. But then, it's hard to find many giddy optimists in America's boardrooms these days.

In addition, I never claimed that any of the 2011 World Team members could beat Kozuka. I'm sorry, but some whine that it was on 0.19, I see it that was still 0.19. You're either on on the podium or you're not.
I put Jeremy to a higher standard because quite frankly, his amazing programs and talent far surpass that of the top three men. Everyone expected him to walk away with this even if he was not perfect. And quite frankly, I get the sense that Jeremy even had the belief that a sub-par program would sneak him in because of that reputation he has.True, he was far from perfect though if the selection criteria for World Team is perfection, then none of them would fit either because they too have a lot of small issues. Jeremy may not be a medal threat but don't you think the standard you are using here is overly strict? Would Bradley, Dornbush and Miner be medal threats? Frankly, it's quite unthinkable, even less than Jeremy.
No, I don't expect those three to be medal threats, but I still don't think its excusable to send someone when they have time and again made silly mistakes (and they know better).
I don't think it's so obvious. Given the caliber of men who are at worlds, I expect all three to qualify for the FS. Even Bradley with an injured foot and bad programs still finished 18th and helped the U.S. get three direct entries.The bottom line is do you want someone who at his worst, would still be Top 12 in the World or do you want some people, at their worst, could possibly not even qualify after the SP at Worlds? I think the answer is obvious.
Adam and Jeremy KNOW that they are better, have more talent, better PCS. People can go on and on that Jeremy did well here at 4CC and this proves he deserved to be on the World team, but he needed to have that performance at Nationals.
ETA: You don't understand how much it pains me to say this. I am still very much a Jeremy fan, and it just is so sad for me to see Jeremy fall short of what I know he can do. He can do a eight-triple program with a quad with beautiful artistry. I know it. Heck we've seen it (at Skate Canada/GPF) I have spent the last few years just holding my breath hoping that he would have that breakthrough at the Worlds championship). At this point, I think he needs the tough love from the federation. I hope this will put a fire under him, like it did for Alissa.

Here is the entire transcript of the press conference in which Dave Hart was hired at the University of Tennessee.
"It's a great day to be a Tennessee Vol. About three months ago or so, I said that we would have an A.D. by the beginning of football season and I am just two days late. We have taken our time to make sure that we get the right person. We were looking for someone who is an experienced athletic director from a major university with outstanding athletic programs. We've looked long and hard and taken our time to make sure that we got the right person here at the University of Tennessee.
"Today, it is my pleasure to announce that we have found that right person. Dave Hart and his wife Pam. Would they please stand and let's welcome them to Tennessee.
"We welcome you all to the Volunteer Nation and to the Big Orange family. Why Dave Hart? Everyone I called about Dave Hart started out and said, `His character, his integrity and his honesty are superb.' He has 20 years of experience as athletic director at two major institutions, East Carolina University and Florida State University. He is a seasoned administrator. He knows how to manage and lead athletic programs, coaches and staff. He has a strong commitment to academics. He has seen many national championships and he wants to see a lot more right here in Tennessee.
"He is committed to the University of Tennessee for the long term. He's a visionary and true leader in the industry and nationally. He has a passion and drive to lead. He is competitive. He's been at national championship programs. He's also the recipient of the Robert R. Neyland Award honoring lifetime achievement in athletics. Hart was also named by his colleagues as Athletic Director of the Year for the Southeast Region for both 2000 and 2005. Now, before I introduce him I would like to turn and thank (Interim Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics) Joan Cronan for everything that she has done in the interim job. Joan, please stand.
"So far, she is the only athletic director we've had that's undefeated in football. And if she can just carry through these next two games, she'll be the only athletic director at the University of Tennessee that's an undefeated athletic director. Joan, you have a pretty tall order but we're sure you can come through on that. She's done a superb job as Interim Athletic Director and I greatly appreciate what she has done and how she has worked with all of us to make things happen. As you know, she was also on the search committee so she has been there during all of the discussions we have had about athletic directors. Now, I would like to introduce to you the Vice Chancellor and the Athletic Director for the University of Tennessee Knoxville, our newest Vol, Dave Hart."
(Dave Hart OPENING STATEMENT)
"Let me say that I am very, very proud to be sitting before you tonight. This is a special day in the lives of Pam and Dave Hart. We have been very excited as this process has come to this point of conclusion, to be a part of the Volunteer Nation. It is a privilege and I want to stress that word. It is a privilege to be named Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics at the University of Tennessee. Being trusted to lead one of the elite programs of America, I don't take that position lightly. There aren't very many programs in the United States, a handful at best, who have the rich history, the tradition and the resources that exist here in Knoxville, Tennessee. That came through the hard work of a lot of people; administrators like Joan Cronan, coaches like Pat Summitt, coaches like Johnny Majors and Phil Fulmer. You just go across the spectrum of the history and you can't invent that. You can't draw that up. And Tennessee has it. It has all of that, so that's a very exciting element of accepting this position tonight.
"I want this to be perfectly clear. I am absolutely, totally committed to the University of Tennessee. I wanted to say that early because I didn't want you all to be injured tripping over one another to ask the Alabama question. I wanted to go ahead and get that on the table. I look back to Saturday. (Alabama football head coach) Nick Saban is an alum of Kent State. I did not see much mercy being shown by Nick at the stadium on Saturday because he's the head coach at the University of Alabama. That's where his job is. That's where his loyalties lie. That's where his passion is. And this is where my passion is from this night forward.
"I do want to thank (Alabama Director of Athletics) Mal Moore, who I think is one of the finest human beings walking the face of the earth, and Dr. Whitt, our president and obviously colleague of Chancellor Cheek, for the last three years which we have thoroughly enjoyed, as we thoroughly enjoyed being at East Carolina and being at Florida State. And now we're blessed and fortunate enough to be offered this wonderful opportunity to be at the University of Tennessee. I want you to know that beyond the shadow of a doubt that we are here, our passion is here and we'll have a chance to demonstrate that as the months and years progress.
"I've been blessed throughout my career to work with some outstanding people, administrators, coaches and legends, certainly (former Florida State football head coach) Bobby Bowden fits that category. Now, I have the rare opportunity to work with another legend in Pat Summitt. Not too many athletics administrators get to walk those hallowed halls so I also feel very blessed that Dr. Cheek has given me the opportunity to work with another legend and some really, really good coaches, who I'm anxious to meet and will do that tomorrow. That's going to be my primary priority tomorrow, will to be to get in front of administrators and coaches and visit with them.
"I also value our family legacy in this profession. My father was a football coach for many years and then was in athletics administration. He was the athletics director of Louisville, Missouri and finished his career as commissioner of the Southern Conference. Then, there's a guy down the road here that I'm really proud of and that's our son Rick, who is the Athletics Director at (University of Tennessee) Chattanooga and will probably emerge as the best of the three, one day. It's nice to be in this environment both from a personal and from a professional perspective. Again, I want to thank you Chancellor Cheek forth confidence that you've shown in me. I also want to take a minute and applaud the job that Mike Hamilton did here. When I looked at the facilities for the first time and really studied the facilities, obviously I've been here. I'm a product of the SEC. As you know, I went to Alabama on a basketball scholarship -- I always pause here for laughter. You can do that. See, you wanted to. You're suppressing it."
Q: Dave, after the ECU job and the Florida State job, why get back into this after having background and the extensive experience you have to get back into the craziness of what being an AD can be sometimes?
Dave Hart (DH): "Well, that's a simple answer. My passion for that. I've never had my head on a swivel in my entire career. I've also been very blessed there. I've been very happy every place I've ever been. Pam and I were very happy at East Carolina. People used to say to me, '12 years you've spent here, why are you passing up some opportunities?' which we were fortunate enough to get. And my response was, `We're happy. We're happy here.' I told the chancellor at East Carolina that gave me the good fortunate to be hired, Dick Eakin, about eight or nine maybe even 10 years into that tenure because we had some opportunities that we have never pursued or initiated pursuit of an opportunity - never, not in my entire career. But I said to Dick, I handed him a list and I said, `Dick, here are five universities that if I'm lucky enough to have them approach me, I want you to know upfront as my boss and my friend, that I would look. I would not initiate but I would look.' The University of Tennessee was on that list. That's part of my response to your very good question.
"I do have a passion for this. My driver's license has my number on it. I know how old I am but I don't feel that. I have the same energy I had 15 years ago. I enjoy people. I enjoy building relationships with coaches. Again, Tennessee has that passion. Listen, there aren't a lot of schools that have the passion and display it the way that the University of Tennessee does. All five of those schools that I put on that list shared that passion. I hope that answers your question."
Q: Dr. Cheek, was there any discussion on the search committee about a concern maybe that you were hiring an administrator from one of your biggest rivals?
Jimmy Cheek (JC): "I think you always in a search for any particular position go after the very best person in the country that you can go after and try to convince them to come here. That was not a consideration."
Q: How big of a factor was it that Tennessee's NCAA problems were behind them and the resolutions had been handed down?
DH: "That's a very good question, but it really wasn't a factor. I got that word probably about the same time you all did - from a national perspective. Obviously, the chancellor and people here at the university knew. I thought - and I'm being very candid about this - that was a very fair result. That was a result that I felt was very fair given the circumstances. I think you're seeing a shift within the NCAA in that regard. But no, it didn't have a factor."
Q: What do you see as your biggest task now that you've arrived?
DH: "I think bringing everybody back on the same path. I know the history and I'm aware that there are still wounds out there for a variety of reasons. But I think that's not where your focus should be. Your focus should be on getting those people back moving towards - they all love Tennessee to the fullest degree possible. They all love Tennessee. I think that's one of the first priorities is to reach out to everyone who's meant so much to this university and helped build that aura that I just articulated a moment ago."
Q: Dr. Cheek, you talked a couple months ago here about bringing Tennessee back to stability. Is that the feeling right now or is it still going to take some time to kind of pad the stability?
JC: "We're on the right path upwards. We have the NCAA violation out. As Dave said, they took our penalties, did not impose any additional penalties and committed the institution for what we did to cooperate with them in that whole process. We're very pleased that they did not impose any other penalties. We have that history behind us. What we have to do is look to the future and I think our future on the academic side and the athletics side is very positive. I think having this last piece, the new Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics, is a critical part so that he and his team can focus on being the very best athletic program we can in the country. And at the same time, the very best academic program that we can have in the country."
Q: Will Joan's role still be the same as planned before that she'll stay on as the women's director until next June?
JC: "That is correct. That was decided back when she graciously accepted the offer to be Vice Chancellor and Athletic Director. That was a very key part I think in this whole process. Some people say, `Why did you put the words Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics?' I wanted to make sure that everybody understood that there's an academic component of athletics and there's an athletic component of athletics. She's served on the cabinet ever since I became in charge of athletics. I think this vice chancellor role is just ideal. When I talked to Dave about this job he said, `That's one of the things that attracted me about it, that you changed it to Vice Chancellor and - that's a very important step.' He fully subscribes to that."
Q: Will Joan Cronan's role still be the same as planned before where she will stay as women's athletics director until next year?
JC: "That is correct. That was decided back when she graciously accepted the offer to be the interim vice chancellor and athletics director. That was a very key part, I think, in this whole process. Some people ask why we put the words vice chancellor and director of athletics. It was because I wanted to make sure everybody understood that there is an academic component of athletics and an athletic component of athletics. (Joan) has served on the cabinet since I became in charge of athletics and I think this vice chancellor role is just ideal. When I talked to Dave about this job, he said, `That is one of the things that attracted me about it. That you changed it to vice chancellor.' That's a very important step and he fully subscribes to that."
Q: Do you plan on bringing anybody with you? Possibly somebody you might be working with at Alabama already.
DH: "There is a lot of discussion and ground to be traveled relative to building a leadership team. I feel very strongly about this. What separates really good corporations and really good organizations from great ones always comes back to people. Always. You look at an athletic team, you name the sport, that might be struggling and suddenly a new coach is infused into the program. Same players, different result, better result. Corporations will tell you that it always comes back to people. There will be a very fair assessment process to go through before we make those types of decisions. I feel very fortunate to have Joan here. I've known Joan a long time and Joan is an outstanding administrator and highly respected. It's good to have Joan as a sounding board, as well as other people in the department. We'll put together, as (Chancellor Cheek) said, an outstanding leadership team. The chancellor is committed to supporting that."
Q: Have you had a chance to talk to any of the coaches and what are your thoughts on stepping into a program where you have three relatively new coaches?
DH: "I think it is exciting. You could look down the road in five years and be talking about three of the greatest coaches in the country. You've got three young people that have all the right things that you need to be successful, in terms of their priorities, the way they organize, they are going to be demanding in a positive way. I think the future can be very, very bright in that regard, so I think that is an exciting element of taking this position. To answer your question, I have not had a chance to get face-to-face with those coaches, but that is a priority for tomorrow."
Q: How do you view your responsibility in each particular sport, especially with somebody like Derek Dooley who is very involved, knows what he wants and is driven? Are you hands off or how do you view what you do for a particular sport?
DH: "I really enjoy building relationships with coaches and creating an open line of communication with coaches. I really enjoyed Nick Saban and I've said that for three years. When I came back to Alabama and Mal (Moore) said I want you to spend 15-20 minutes with Nick, we about tripled that in that conversation. I really admire Nick Saban. Here is what Nick Saban wants, here is what Derek Dooley wants and here is what Dave Hart wants. Excellence all around, from everybody. From the custodial staff, which plays a key role and never gets enough credit, but I take the time to make sure they understand what a role they play, all the way through the assistant coaches and the administration. Excellence. That's the tone that has to be set."
Q: What have you learned from your previous stops about leadership and what do you bring here?
DH: "Very good question. I think in the arena of organization, I think when developing that staff you have to have an organizational chart that makes sense and that takes time to figure out. But I have an idea there, and one that has worked in the past. From those experiences, I've grown a lot. That's what the profession is about for coaches, for student-athletes, for administrators, is growth. Now, you're not going to grow if you can't make tough decisions and you're not going to grow as a young administrator if somebody doesn't give you the authority to do your job. I'm not a micro-manager and I don't want to be micro-managed. I want to play my role and know what the role is for the athletics department. Athletics has never been, should not be and never will be the most important thing on a university campus, but it is absolutely the most visible element within the university structure. With that comes accountability and responsibility from everybody who touches the athletics department at the University of Tennessee because that is how people form their impression and come to the image that they want to apply to the university. Unfortunately, it's not through the many great things the university has going on in many cases, but it is driven by the image that is demonstrated by the department of athletics."
Q: Was it a no-brainer to leave Alabama?
DH: "No, it's never been a no-brainer for me and for Pam to walk away. We're not transient people and I say this in a very, very positive vein. Our history would obviously verify that. It was hard for us to leave East Carolina. It was hard for us to leave Florida State and it was hard for us to leave Alabama, but each time that we left, we immediately, immediately, knew who we were, where we were and where our passion would be. That has already transpired. Our passion is for the University of Tennessee. It's like respect. Respect is not granted, respect is earned, so I understand that is, in some people's minds, an issue because of the nature of the rivalry and the history. I do understand that, but I don't think that people should act probably as vigorously as they might in some corners. We'll take time. You know, you prove yourself again and that will occur in time."
Q: Did Alabama make a counter-offer to you?
DH: "Alabama was wonderful. As I shared with Chancellor Cheek throughout the last few days here, even leading up to two or three hours ago, I still had, and this makes me feel good, I still had coaches and administrators and faculty and people on campus saying `We want you here.' I'm flattered and I know that is heart-felt, but the decision to come to Tennessee was one that I think anybody would be foolish to reject."
Q: What type of commitment did you make today in terms of a contract to ensure that Dave is going to be here for a while?
JC: "All of that information is on the website now. It's a complicated document and if you go to (the website), you will get the answer to that. What I think (Dave) was most interested in, with the way this search unfolded, was how he and I would get along. He wanted to make sure that he and I could establish a very good relationship. Over the last few days we've seen each other a lot and we've established a very good working relationship. He also wanted to make sure that he had overall control of athletics and that I didn't micro-manage athletics. All those issues were resolved to our satisfaction. I'm delighted he chose to come to Tennessee. The first time I talked to him, within five minutes I knew he was serious about Tennessee. Like I started off my comments, he has very high character, integrity, honesty and he comes through very well when you sit down and talk to him. I think our fans are really going to be proud of him as our athletics director and vice chancellor as they get to meet and know him."
Q: When did that initial conversation take place?
JC: "About a week ago, a little over a week ago."
Q: Are you at all surprised to find yourself sitting here tonight?
DH: "I was surprised again, and I will always give you candid responses, I was surprised when I went to Florida State. I was surprised when I went back to Alabama. It goes back to what I said earlier. Pam and I like to get roots. We don't like to bounce around. Once I met Chancellor Cheek and got to spend some quality time with him, I knew this was the place for Pam and I."
Q: Chancellor Cheek, were the violations that occurred at the end of Dave's tenure at Florida State a concern for the committee and then Dave, were you kind of open with the committee and how they were able to let you explain things?
JC: "I think as you look at the academic issues, the provost at Florida State and I are real good friends. His explanation of this was that it was an academic matter affecting students at FSU and obviously, athletes are students at FSU. But it was not an athletic matter that influenced academics."
DH: I'll only add that the two events were totally separate. When I left Florida State, we had already made that decision before we even knew there was an issue with the online music course and those types of things. I worked hand-in-hand with the provost, with legal counsel and with our faculty athletics rep looking into what did happen. The two events are unrelated chronologically."
Q: One of the big changes in the next year is combining the two programs. Can you touch a little bit on how you see that happening and your vision?
DH: This would leave - and correct me if I'm wrong Joan - but I know this is accurate just the University of Texas as a stand-alone program that has separated men's athletics and women's athletics. Most recently, I know that (Stanford Director of Athletics) Bob Bowlsby, who is a colleague and a friend now at Stanford, but Bob was at Iowa when the merger took place. And most recently, Jeff Long who is the Athletics Director at Arkansas when Arkansas' programs merged. That's a long-term proposition. It has to be done correctly. Again, I would want input from Joan and people in the department. I have some ideas and some concepts on how that should unfold but I want there to be good dialogue before we arrive at the final destination."
Q: What are your thoughts on SEC expansion?
DH: I'll do this (makes motion as if to turn it over to Dr. Cheek).
JC: "I think we said it real clearly when the SEC presidents and chancellors met recently, we would prefer to stay at 12. If something happens, then we have to reconsider that and we don't know what implications that would have for us."
Q: How difficult is it to expand a conference?
DH: "It is very difficult. It is so complex. It's not just moving in that direction (to) conference realignment. It's deciding on divisions. It's deciding on rivalries. It gets extremely complex, having been through the process in the Atlantic Coast Conference going from nine teams to 12. If indeed this becomes a reality, certainly it will cause a ripple effect without a doubt across the country."

Daffodil Days are coming; volunteers are needed
Daffodil Days offers a bouquet of products:
For a $10 gift, donors receive a bouquet of ten fresh daffodil blossoms.
Three mini-daffodil bulbs in a soil filled pot are available for a $15 donation.
A bouquet of ten daffodils and a Boyd's collectable stuffed bear for a $25 donation.
Gift of Hope: daffodils are delivered to a cancer patient undergoing treatment for a $25 donation and up.
Bear Hugs for Hope: special edition, collectible bear is delivered to a child impacted by cancer. $25.
Flower and product orders can be placed now through March 1 by calling the American Cancer Society at 1 (800)-227-2345 or making an online donation at www.cancer.org/daffodils.
Delivery occurs the week before spring, beginning March 18.
According to the society, this long standing program, which historically coincides with the coming of spring, is expected to raise over $500,000 in Connecticut to support the fight against cancer.
For more than 35 years, the American Cancer Society has, through its Daffodil Days program, been sharing hope for a world with less cancer and more birthdays by really helping people get well, stay well, find cures and fight back against cancer. Although Daffodil Days involves offering daffodils to donors every spring in appreciation for their contributions, it is about more than just giving beautiful flowers; it is an opportunity to share hope for a world free of cancer.
Volunteer opportunities abound -- from school children to corporate CEOs -- to assist in taking daffodil orders, sorting and packing the bouquets for order fulfillment and/or delivering daffodils in your community during the week of March 18. Supporting Daffodil Days as a volunteer or a donor provides the knowledge that you are helping fight cancer, and what a poignant thought that is as we welcome spring.
Dollars raised through Daffodil Days enable the Society to offer free programs and services that help people fight cancer with courage and optimism, while it provides day-to-day help, emotional support, and 24-hour information to help ease the cancer experience. Additionally, daffodil contributions provide the Society with much-needed dollars to fund ground-breaking cancer research, educate people about the importance of cancer prevention and early detection and advocate for meaningful public health policies that benefit the community.
For more information about Daffodil Days, to request flowers, or to get involved with the program, contact the American Cancer Society at 1 (800) 227-2345 or www.cancer.org/daffodils.

A vegan diet and the flu epidemic
Indeed, 61 percent of the 1,415 pathogens known to infect humans originate with animals. The more recent, contagious, and deadly viruses among these include Asian, dengue fever, Ebola, H5N1 (bird), HIV, SARS, West Nile, and yellow fever. The pandemic "Spanish" flu of 1918, killed 20-50 million people worldwide, and the World Health Organization predicts more pandemics in the future.
Today's factory farms are virtual flu factories. Sick, crowded, highly stressed animals in contact with contaminated feces and urine provide ideal incubation media for viruses. As these microbes reach humans, they mutate to defeat the new host's immune system, then propagate by contact.
Each of us can help end animal farming and build up our own immune system against the flu by replacing animal products in our diet with vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. These foods don't carry flu viruses, or government warning labels, are touted by every major health advocacy organization, and were the recommended fare in the Garden of Eden.

The effect of client and type and size of construction work on a contractor's bidding strategy
Drew, Derek S., Lo, Hing Po, & Skitmore, Martin (2001) The effect of client and type and size of construction work on a contractor's bidding strategy. Building and Environment, 36(3), pp. 393-406.
|PDF (97kB)
This paper offers a bidding strategy model for use by contractors as part of a more informed approach in selecting which contracts to bid for, and as a basis for determining the most appropriate mark-up level for various types and sizes of construction work and client types. Regression analysis is used in measuring a contractor's competitiveness between bids (by using the lowest bid / own bid ratio) and within bids (by using the lowest bid / cost estimate ratio) according to type and size of construction work and client type. The model was tested on a large and reputable Hong Kong contractor. This particular contractor's bidding behaviour was found to be largely unaffected by type of construction work but significantly affected by client type and size of construction work. Three quadratic models (regressing lowest bid / cost estimate on size of construction work) are also successfully developed for projects from the private sector, the Hong Kong Government and the Hong Kong Housing Authority respectively.
