For the average person, you will likely have more than one email address going to your Android phone.
Below is a run through on how-to set up a basic non-Google email on your Android device. Some email providers may need special server or port settings. If you follow these steps, this will explain how to input those settings.
Step 1. Open the email application by pressing the Email or Mail icon.
Step 2. What you will see is a couple of text boxes asking for your full email address and your password. Type in your email address and password exactly like you would when logging into your email account.
Step 3. Once you have entered your login credentials, you will need to select what type of email service you are using. I would recommend the IMAP setup if possible. This will usually give you the access to your folder and other options.
Step 4. The screen you will see for POP and IMAP are very similar. You will need to check over your incoming mail server information. If you are experiencing difficulties, there are usually setup instructions in the help section of your email program. Many of these instructions will have the settings for mobile devices such as your Android phone.
IMAP settings for Google Apps: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=114408
Here is a link to the settings if you use Yahoo Business mail: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/bizmail/pop/pop-33.html
Step 5. Once you have looked over and modified the settings if needed, you can press the Next button at the bottom left of the screen. This will bring you to the Outgoing server information. Again, look over the settings and make sure the they are correct and press Next.
Step 6. The next screen will ask you to give this email account a nickname. This step isn't required, but if you have more than one email account on your Android phone, it will help you determine which is which.
In this step, you will also be asked to enter your name. This is the name the recipient will see when you sent them an email.
Step 7. Click Done in the bottom right corner. The next screen will ask you how often you would like the Android phone to automatically check your emails. If you have it check too often, you will likely see a decrease in battery life. 30 minutes is usually a good interval.
Step 8. Once you select the frequency for it to check your email, you are pretty much done.

Authors Terry E. Miller and Andrew Shahriari take students around the world to experience the diversity of musical expression. World Music: A Global Journey, now in its third edition, is known for its breadth in surveying the world's major cultures in a systematic study of world music within a strong pedagogical framework.
As one prepares for any travel, each chapter starts with background preparation, reviewing the historical, cultural, and musical overview of the region. Visits to multiple 'sites' within a region provide in-depth studies of varied musical traditions. Music analysis begins with an experimental "first impression" of the music, followed by an "aural analysis" of the sound and prominent musical elements. Finally, students are invited to consider the cultural connections that give the music its meaning and life.
Features of the Third Edition
Dynamic companion web site hosts new Interactive Listening Guides, plus many resources for student and instructor. Built to serve online courses.
The CD set is available separately (ISBN 978-0-415-89402-9) or with its Value Pack and book (ISBN 978 0415- 80823-1).

When your loved one is taking a vehicle and say goodbye to you, you will get that strange insecure feeling right in to your heart eventually. We have so much of uncertainty when we are travelling on the roads. The main cause is road accidents. For an hour how much of people are losing their lives due to accidents caused on the roads. Why should we let our valuable lives to fade away in such a pathetic way? All the people should act more responsibly when they are on the roads.
Now you might be thinking, if something is destined to happen, no one can stop it. But can you allow ignorance and unawareness to rule such valuable human lives, when you still have good chances to take required safety measures.
That is why the presence of traffic control companies is a must for a company. As this a giant operation which runs all over the country, a collective effort is required in monitoring and managing the whole operation at different levels.
Traffic control companies possess the required technology and equipment to inspect, report and also to control the road conditions. They provide integrated IT based solutions for a country to bring down the road accidents caused for a day.
Everyone wants to go faster, hate to wait in the log lines that is our nature. But when we are on the road, willingly or unwillingly we have to sacrifice our self-centered emotions for the betterment of everyone around us. These services and systems do train and remind us to achieve that objective. We all should act out without causing any threats or harms for the lives of others'. That is why we are named as humans among other living beings. Sometimes, our own emotions drive this humanity away from us, which is a very crucial situation. Therefore, we required onsite supervision and controlling tools to guide us on the correct path in the ethical manner.
These companies are highly technological based organizations, who have the required professional manpower to operate these systems to perform efficiently and effectively. Rather than assigning civil security units on managing road conditions, this is indeed a great solution to effectively manage the traffic and accidents. Ability to monitor remotely is the best feature of all these. And also these systems can be programmed to operate fully automatically too. Onsite road supervision is not required anymore and it is an old fashioned traffic management method. Now the whole world is stepping out for innovation and high technology. This is a prime example for it.

Meeting our fiscal objectives
According to the front page article of The Sunday Times, as reported by Herman Grech, the Government is expected to honour its electoral pledge to reduce the maximum income tax rate.
It was reported that "to keep in line with the country's fiscal objectives some measures are to be taken to make up for the shortfall, which may prompt an increase in excise tax".
While this statement is not quoting any official source, and therefore, cannot, at least at this stage, be considered as factual, it nonetheless merits some reflection as we stand on the eve of the budget.
From the outset, one must make the point that shifting from direct to indirect forms of taxation is positive and conducive towards incentivising work and investment. This, however, can only be considered positive so long as indirect taxation is effectively and efficiently enforced.
Being part of the single European market, we have moved away from (intra-EU) border controls – towards self-declarations. Though this is essentially a positive development, it has given rise to the need for more effective market surveillance to ensure that all businesses are operating within a level playing field in which an equitable fiscal and regulatory market environment prevails, ensuring compliance along with free but fair competition amongst all.
Within the context of what has been reported – which measure would best address any possible shortfall in income tax? Is it by increasing excise tax or by ensuring a more efficient collection of current applicable tax?
Which would serve the best interest of the Government's fiscal objectives, legitimate businesses operating in compliance with their fiscal obligations and the consuming public in general?
Would not increasing excise tax in the absence of more effective market surveillance favour those operating outside the fiscal radar, at the expense of law-abiding businesses which would need to carry a higher tax burden and place them in a competitive disadvantage?
More so, could there not be the added complication should an increase in excise tax be higher than that in neighbouring countries resulting in an element of unfair (that is, undeclared) cross-border trade – which is now based on self-declaration?
Would not a proper functioning market serveillance mechanism lead to improve Government coffers without the need to consider increasing excise tax?
And generally speaking, while reiterating that a shift towards indirect taxation is essentially positive, is fiscal consolidation, along with the needed economic growth, best achieved through an increase in taxation or through more efficiency in tax collection? Therefore, reference needs to be made to the Government's announcements over the last two budgets – namely that of consolidating the departments responsible for Inland Revenue, VAT, Customs and Tax Compliance.
Here, it was encouraging to note that a Parliamentary Bill was unanimously approved last year. One should rightly expect (and augur) that the Finance Minister will provide an update on this, giving a cursory overview on the vision and objectives of this departmental consolidation exercise, along with the Government's strategy on the shift from direct to indirect taxation.
A clear message here would certainly be most welcome by all law-abiding businesses, which need to face and live up to their fiscal and regulatory obligations along with the daily competitive pressures. (Here, even the Opposition would likewise do well to underline its stand.)
There certainly are numerous considerations when seeking to establish our national fiscal objectives. No doubt that the budget speech will amplify on this but ultimately we must keep sight of the bigger picture.
Though one cannot dispute the importance and necessity of adopting the right level and dose of fiscal policy along with its proper enforcement, it is important that the Budget continues to build on the necessary foundations for a thriving economy through the further stimulation of private enterprise, because it is private enterprise which leads to greater prosperity. One always expects that this remains the driving force behind any policies or measures that may be introduced.
The impending Budget must pursue policies which create wealth and which do not unduly or unfairly compromise the competitiveness of legitimate business. There is little doubt that a vibrant and active economy is what drives needed wealth.
Therefore, whether we are in business or part of wider society, it is in our interest to ensure that private enterprise operates within a free but fair competitive environment – where the necessary regulatory and fiscal policies are equitably enforced among all concerned, without penalising law-abiding business.
Bottom line: deal with any shortfalls in tax revenue through the efficient collection via the right structures and with the right tools as opposed to easy, quick fix solutions of increasing indirect forms of taxation, such as excise tax.

I pulled it all apart this evening real quick and was able to pull the changer out. It looks the exact size of my Pioneer deck. I would love to keep the factory radio in it's stock location and install the Pioneer in the cd changer location to keep it looking somewhat stealth. My biggest concern is, will the harness reach down to that location? I have the harnesss to connect an aftermarket deck to the factory wiring, so the wires may reach. I just didn't have time to see if there were any obstructions between the radio and the changer location.

Wonderful and thanks for quoting Terry Prachet who also has DEATH responding to the question "is life worth it?", with " Cats, cats are nice!"
A wonderful treat this week. Something very different and unique to enjoy. Thank you Nick.
Some great quotes - most very true when applied to our cat friends - to accompany the beautiful subjects. Love 'em all.
It does not surprise me at all that Hemingway and Colette were cat fans...
That cat being used as a pillow under the quote from Robert Heinlein looks very annoyed, and seems to have its claws out ready for a quick swipe!
Another unanimous vote from Room 2. Sorry people, this week's winner is Orange Benjamin (the on looking soulfully over the shoulder). Why, you ask? Well he is the teacher's cat and has visited Room 2. "That's you, Miss!!!" He is Orange Benjamin, so we can tell him apart from his biggest fan, Benjamin one of the class. Photo taken at the Blessing of the Animals, he is NOT angelic. Just like Room 2, really. Thanks, Nick. You've made their week (and mine)
They are all beautiful! <3 I love Orange Benjamin the best
I had to look twice at the gorgeous boy in Pic 2 as he looks identical to my gorgeous boy. And I love the look on Orange Benjamins face. Part 'Puss'n'Boots', part "I am only tolerating this because you feed me!"
Awesome, two favourite things put together - quotes and cats! And even nicer was to scroll through and see our beloved Boris who passed away a few months ago. He's the one caught mid-lick and looking reflective after a successful mouse kill. Thanks for another fantastic furry Friday!

COCKEYSVILLE, MD -- Marking the arrival of spring, A&A Global Industries has introduced two bulk vending mixes and a flat merchandise series.
Seven characters from Comedy Central's popular South Park cartoons are commemorated in a line of "buildable" self-vending figures from A&A, just in time for the release of the show's 15th season on DVD. The colorful cast includes Cartman, Kenny, Kyle, Stan, Token, Butters and Wendy, all designed for 2" vending.
Domo, originally the mascot of Japan's NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corp.) television service, became tremendously popular in his homeland -- and later in the U.S. -- following his debut more than a decade ago. He is celebrated in a new line of seven soft, air-filled yo-yos made of elastic material and capable of being stretched 40" or more.
South Park figures and Domo Stretchy Yo-yos are both made for vending in 2" capsules, and are backed by a two-sided blister display.
For flat vending, A&A is launching a series of 14 Bear in Underwear stickers. Inspired by Stupid Factory Studios' much-discussed children's book, the stickers illustrate the bear -- who is on a quest to find optimal undergarments -- and his forest friends, accomplices and critics. A two-sided display card is available for flat-merchandise machines.

Blithely Walking Past Dinosaurs
By Noel Black On February 17, 2010 · 5 Comments · In A Big Something, Big Something Book Club, Books and Authors, Empty Reservoir Diaries, Outdoors and Nature
I'll confess right away that I still haven't quite "finished" reading Ann Zwinger's Beyond the Aspen Grove, the subject of tonight's Big Something Book Club at Poor Richard's Bookstore at 6 p.m. Somehow, reading it straight through felt impossible, if not sacrilegious. I've picked up the book many times over the years, admired its lovingly accurate black and white illustrations of plants like whiskbroom parsley and meadowrue and marveled at Zwinger's encyclopedic vocabulary. I fancied I'd finally read it through for the book club… but couldn't. Like Constant Friendship—the land her book so meticulously catalogs with both poet's tongue and scientist's eye—the book demands repeated visits over long periods of time, close and careful attention, a humble willingness to learn and observe. In short, I'm not sure it's a book that one ever "finishes" so much as visits.
But every visit has a payoff no matter where you open it.
Near the end of the book, Zwinger writes a passage in which she meditates on the necessary interventions in the land she loves (a fence they built, a hewn Aspen tree that might have been home to birds or animals, etc.):
My interest in the vast world of nature began when we came to this land, with the finding of a new world, a sense of discovery, a sharing. But somewhere in the learning came commitment, the realization that in the understanding of this natural world comes the maintenance of it, that with knowledge comes responsibility.
Sounds like a line out of a Spiderman comic! And that's Zwinger's great achievement—her ability to communicate her boundless curiosity about this small corner of the world and expand it into the context of stewardship driven not by guilt, but by love:
Because we can and do manipulate our environment, we are then charged with the responsibility of our acts, for if we are to survive we must insure that this best of all possible worlds survives with us.
Zwinger's ability to share her awe and wonder while remaining humbly aware of her own delicate relationship with the land she alters as she observes it makes her much more than environmentalist or naturalist, but an advocate, above all, for consciousness and awareness of all things—for paying close attention to what surrounds you and taking responsibility for it. It's this sense of both awe and responsibility that inspires us.
All of this was sloshing around in the back of my mind last week when I met up with an old student of Zwinger's named Melissa Walker. The former Lead Naturalist and Programs Coordinator for the Garden of the Gods, Walker (you can read her blog HERE) contacted me after reading my the first entry of my "Empty Reservoir Diaries," a project inspired by Zwinger's book in which I'm hoping to learn as much as I can about a the old Valley Reservoir loop in the southeast corner of Garden of the Gods where I've been walking for years. We agreed to meet for a hike. I was hoping Walker could help me flesh out some of the natural history of the area.
Within a few hundred yards of the trailhead, Walker opened up the all-too-familiar loop like Zwinger's book: the Dakota ridge is home to the northernmost edge of Pinon and Juniper (P&J) forest that run along the ridge of porous sandstone like a stripe toward the old Valley Reservoir, which provided water for Rock Ledge Ranch. A Townsend's Solitaire sang its single-note song from limbs of one-seeded juniper, and a nondescript outcropping of Dakota sandstone I'd walked blithely past more than a hundred times just up the hill from the Ute Trail marker turned out to be the former resting place of Theiophytalia kerri, a one-of-a-kind dinosaur. "Theios is of Greek origin, meaning "belonging to the gods" and phytalia means "garden." kerri honors the name of the scientist who first discovered this 125 million year old skull in Garden of the Gods Park." In other words, the Gardenofthegodsosaurus. Granted, you can see this skull at the GOG Visitor Center, but it's another thing entirely to stand at its grave site, which you've been walking past unaware for 20 years. More than anything, this revelation, which was precipitated entirely by Beyond the Aspen Grove, makes me wonder how many other amazing things—great and small—I pass by each day.
This is all by way of saying that, whether you finished the book or not, we hope you join us at Poor Richard's Bookstore tonight at 6 p.m. at the front table to read some passages together and talk about how Ann Zwinger's book may have changed the way you see the world. If you haven't read it yet, you can get a great sense of it even by reading a few pages HERE at Google Books for free.
Please join us or leave your thoughts in the comments below. Thanks! (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Try walking on the Niobrara Trail some morning while the sun is still in the east. You'll see all kinds of ripple patterns in the sandstone on that ridge and the one just to the west. These were created when the sand was part of an inland sea. You can also spot fossil imprints that look like clam shells and even nautilus shells. I think most people just walk right by them.
Larisa Kuhar says:
Thank you, Noel, and Melissa, and everyone! The book and the group were wonderful. I look forward to the next one, too.
Noel, my sweetie suggested Malcolm Gladwell's _Outliers_ as good discussion fodder; it has lots of interesting ideas and some stuff that people will squabble with or object to. Can't wait to hear what you decide. Thanks again for the Big Something. I have friends in several cities and states that check out the website now and then because it and KRCC are so great!
Noel Black says:
Thanks to everyone who came out tonight. It was great to meet you all and great to commune over Ann Zwinger's book with so many who knew her and were touched by her writing.
Hiker gal says:
If only the book group didn't have to disperse…I felt connected to you all because of your love and appreciation of the land. Found myself wanting to know more about each of you. Maybe next time…

Greinke's personality suits Game 1 showdown
Greinke's personality suits Game 1 showdown
In addressing the media Saturday ahead of his start in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series -- first pitch Sunday is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. CT, with the national broadcast beginning at 2:30 p.m. on TBS -- a different side of Greinke came out. He was fun. Greinke was joking around about his teammates, and he even cracked a smile or two.
Asked about the Cardinals, he was frank: "No one really likes [Chris] Carpenter."
On teammate Ryan Braun's description of his awkwardness, Greinke drew laughs: "He's jealous of a lot of things I do."
As for his impression of center fielder Nyjer Morgan, it was honest, and Greinke drew more laughter.
Tale of the Tape: Game 1
- Jaime Garcia Cardinals
- vs.
- Zack Greinke Brewers
- 2011 Regular Season

Hates to face: Corey Hart, 8-for-20
- Loves to face: Nick Punto, 4-for-19
Hates to face: Matt Holliday, 5-for-12
- Game breakdown
- Why he'll win: Tossed seven strong innings in NLDS Game 3 against Phillies
- Why he'll win:
Brewers went 16-0 in his home starts (including NLDS)
- Pitcher beware: Had 4.61 road ERA during regular season; 2.55 at home
- Pitcher beware: Struggled in Game 2 of NLDS, allowing four runs over five innings
- Bottom line: Keep riding momentum
- Bottom line: Home, sweet home
"Ninety-five percent of the time, he's great," Greinke said. "Everyone else probably likes him 100 percent of the time. But every now and then, he talks too much for me and gets annoying. But I tell him that. Everyone on the team loves him."
When Greinke tells Morgan he's annoying, does he pipe down?
So much for Greinke's seeming lack of personality.
Maybe all it took was a trip to the NLCS for Greinke to share the fun, joking side of his personality. It's certainly something his teammates have seen throughout the season.
"His personality's a lot different than others, but once you get to know him and figure him out, he's a joy to be around. He's a lot of fun," said Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy. "He has a really dry sense of humor, but he's mostly cracking jokes all the time and running his mouth. It's a lot of fun, because he means well, he wants to win, and he loves this team."
With the game tied in the bottom of the 10th in Friday's 3-2 NL Division Series clincher over the D-backs, Greinke was warming up for a potential 11th inning. He was available to pitch in the win-or-go-home situation, but he was obviously not manager Ron Roenicke's first choice out of the bullpen.
Now, Greinke is ready for a showdown against his club's bitter rivals.
With Game 1 at Miller Park -- where the Brewers are 16-0 with Greinke on the mound this season, including a 9-4 victory in Game 2 of the NLDS -- Milwaukee could not ask for a better way to start its first Championship Series since 1982.
"There's still work to be done, and Zack has been awesome the whole year," said Yovani Gallardo. "I kind of wanted to tell him today not to go to the bullpen, because we weren't going to need him. It was huge that we were able to win there [before he came in].
"That was big. We knew we were going to have to win that inning, and we were able to do it."
Greinke was supposed to throw a bullpen session Friday, but he was told to hold off in case he was needed in relief. Though he warmed up, Greinke did not throw so much that he couldn't come back on Sunday.
If the game had continued and Greinke pitched an inning, or perhaps even more, the Crew would have likely needed to go with Shaun Marcum and Randy Wolf in Games 1 and 2 of the NLCS. While both were solid pieces of Milwaukee's rotation during the regular season, they also surrendered seven runs each in Games 3 and 4 against Arizona.
Instead, the Brewers turn to Greinke to open the next round.
"If we would have used [Greinke] last night, we would have had some tough calls on how we run this rotation through the series," Roenicke said. "But the way it is now, it works out well.
"With Zack there, we know he's going to be able to come back and pitch a couple of games. We know if we go to Game 7, Yo will be able to pitch a couple of games. And then we'll fill in the others with Marcum and Wolfy."
Greinke went 11-0 at home this season, making him just the 14th pitcher since 1900 to win at least 10 home games in a season without a loss and the first since Cliff Lee went 10-0 at home for the Indians in 2008. Greinke posted a 5-6 mark with a 4.70 ERA on the road.
Most teams would be happy just to have either Greinke or Gallardo. Milwaukee has both, and Marcum and Wolf are not far behind on the totem pole.
"It's awesome. A lot of fun for me," Lucroy said. "It's like driving a Cadillac, man. Every day, you get to drive a Cadillac or a Range Rover. You're not driving junkyard cars."

"I sent off the order, only to realise that night that I had to change the date of the event due to scheduling problems! I called Tiny Prints early the next morning and was able to put a hold on the printing until I could confirm the date. I called 2 days later and they were able to send it off to a designer before it went to printing. The staff were very understanding and helpful. And I got the order 2 days later! And I live in Canada! Very happy with the quality of the invitations. I will definitely use Tiny Prints again and recommend it to my friends!"
"Beautiful, whimsical, original baptism invitation. High quality paper. Guests told me it was "very cute." Love it and received it earlier than expected."
"I was very impressed with both the quality of both the paper and print work. Also loved the fact that the wording could be personalised so easily. The design is relaxed and stylish. Excellent product and service which I will be using again without any hesitation. Thankyou!"
"We were more than satisfied with this product, and we will also order 'thank you'- cards from tinyprints when the time comes. We got a lot of positive feedback from the receivers of the cards. We (and the elderly part of the receivers) were also satisfied that we could change all of the text on the back, so we could write it all in norwegian."
"I loved everything about this card except the size for some reason i thought it would be bigger ? Maybe it was the size i chose"

text: If I'm talking about who I think the objective, all-time greatest players are (not my own, personal, favorite would-be all-time great team)...then I think I'd go with: C: S. O'Neal PF: H. Olajuwon ...explaining those who didn't make it: W. Chamberlain. He was probably a better athlete than both O'Neal and Olajuwon, probably a better defender than both, probably a better rebounder than both. But it's just impossible to know how good of a scorer he would be in the modern era. The best big man he ever went up against - Bill Russell - was SF sized by modern-day standards. K. Abdul-Jabbar. He, on the other hand, we know would be able to score in the modern era. His sky-hook transcends time, and would still be impossible to defend. Probably at least equal, perhaps even superior to O'Neal and Hakeem in terms of athleticism. But at 7-2, 210lbs...man, he was skinny. I've got to imagine that he'd get pushed around a lot by modern-day bigs and not be quite as effective. B. Russell. Again, probably a better athlete than both Shaq and Hakeem...but so much smaller. Not sure he'd be able to hang with some of the bigger bigs throughout an entire game. And he was never much of an inside scorer anyways. M. Malone. Certainly deserves mention here, if you're aware of his accolades (3 MVP's). The greatest offensive rebounder of all-time, and a solid inside scorer...but I just don't think he was on the same level as Shaq or Hakeem in terms of inside scoring, and I don't think he'd be much better, if at all, in the other important area, post-D. T. Duncan. I hate when I see him over the likes of Hakeem on all-time teams. The best big man on a team IS the C. Duncan was a PF bc the spurs had a HoF-er at C. Ever since Robinson left, he's more or less been their C. The positional assignment between PF and C is really irrelevant. And I don't think there's anything Duncan brought to a team that Shaq and Hakeem didn't bring better. Robinson, Malone, Barkley, etc. All behind Duncan, who didn't make it on this team, IMO. D. Howard/K. Love. I wanted to take all the current 'best at their positions' into consideration. D. Howard, to me, is basically a worst-case W. Chamberlain, so there's no sense in taking him. Love, wouldn't even stand up to Malone I don't think.

Kim Graham joined the Fighting Camel staff in November 2008 as Associate A.D. for Operations at Campbell University. The native of Milan, Ohio brought two decades of administrative experience at the Division I level to his position.
"We are excited to have Kim Graham as part of our Campbell Athletics family," said Stan Williamson, who is in his eighth year as Campbell's Director of Athletics. "Kim has a strong background in athletics administration and coaching which greatly enhances the experience of our athletics department staff. Kim is a man of integrity and has a wonderful family who are a great fit for Campbell University and Buies Creek."
Graham is responsible for the daily operations of the Fighting Camel athletics department with emphasis in sport programming and support areas.
In addition, Graham directs and schedules event management for all CU sports and supervises the department's operations staff, including strength and conditioning and athletic training. Graham is also involved as the athletics department liaison to a number of university departments and coordinates scheduling for 19 of CU's 20 varsity sports.
Graham joined the Campbell Athletics staff after spending two years as Senior Associate Athletics Director at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, La. At SLU, he supervised internal and external departmental operations, led the department fund raising marketing team, administered the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and approved departmental budget expenditures.
"I count it an honor and privilege to be employed at Campbell University," said Graham. "I whole heartedly believe in the principles and standards that Campbell University is built upon. I will work diligently with our athletics staff to provide our student-athletes with the best possible guidance and direction that will help them reach their goals spiritually, educationally and athletically."
A 1976 graduate of Georgetown (Ky.) College, where he was an NAIA All-America at wide receiver as a senior, Graham spent 11 seasons as an assistant coach at Liberty (1978-88), where he coached the receivers, quarterbacks and also served as offensive coordinator.
After serving as offensive coordinator at Sam Houston State in 1989, Graham returned to Lynchburg, Va., to start an 18-year tenure in athletics administration at Liberty.
In his seven years as the Flames' Assistant A.D., Graham implemented the department's NCAA Compliance program, while also overseeing budgeting and game operations needs.
Graham was promoted to Director of Athletics at Liberty in April 1997 and served in that capacity through February 2005. During his eight-year stint as A.D., Liberty teams won 53 Big South Conference championships, claimed five out of six league Sasser Cup awards as the Big South's best overall athletics program and won the first two Big South men's all-sports awards.
Under Graham's guidance, Liberty's student-athlete graduation rates rose from 49 to 69 percent. He also served in a number of professional associations, including a stint as President of the NCAA I-AA Athletics Directors Association (2004-05).
Graham has also been involved beyond campus responsibilities as a member of the NCAA Championship/Competition Cabinet (2003-05) as with the NCAA I-AA Athletics Directors Association Executive Committee. He chaired both the Big South Conference Board of Administrators (2004-05) and the Football Committee (2002-04), while also serving on six NCAA Peer Review Teams for athletics certification.
A member of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), Graham earned both his B.S. (1976) in physical education and M.A. (1978) in secondary education from Georgetown College. Graham and his wife, Andrea, have three sons – Chad, Travis and Cade – and a daughter, Brie.

Desert heat a concern for Meals On Wheels program
Hydrating foods being delivered to seniors
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - In the severe heat the desert is experiencing, the Mizell Senior Center in Palm Springs is looking out for the well-being of its Meals On Wheels clients.
Robert Ochoa is one of seven delivery drivers the senior center uses for food delivery to homebound seniors.
Since sometimes he is the only person his clients see in a given day, part of his job is to make sure his clients aren't having any health issues. This time of year, with temperatures in the triple digits, dehydration is a big concern.
"If I see anything out of the ordinary I will remind them to drink water and stay healthy, and ask questions and if everything is OK, if everything sounds fine, I am on my way to the next client," said Ochoa.
Jack Newby, the senior center's director of development, says the Meals On Wheels program tries to educate seniors about the best kind of food to consume
this time of year. Recommendations that are reflected in the food seniors see at their door.
"Some of the things we include in our meals are high water content foods like lettuce or jello or corn, those sorts of things to make sure they get hydrated through things other than drinking water," said Newby.
The care in delivering the right foods to combat the heat has not gone unnoticed by 83-year-old Indio resident Harold Herschberger.
"I realize they know what we need, and they're giving it to us, and that is what I am excited about," said Herschberger.
And let's not forget about the drivers. They have to deal with the intense heat. Ochoa told us in the course of a seven to eight-hour shift, he finds himself getting in and out of his vehicle some 70 times in order to deliver meals to his clients.
"I keep hydrated. I have Gatorade in the vehicle. Gatorade and a lot of water," he said. Robert Ochoa is following his own advice.
The Mizell Senior Center Meals On Wheels program serves more than 400 meals a day to homebound seniors throughout the Coachella Valley.

Driving, Dust and Derelict
After a long, late night drive to the hotel, I arrived to a rude member of staff on reception "Just wait your turn" even though there were no other people in the queue at reception.
I was then demanded to pay for the room even though I had already fully pre-paid. Once I had been sent to my room, I was greeted by dust, broken lampshades and the least soundproof room I have ever stayed in (felt like I was watching TV with the guy next door at 4am). I could wipe the dust off the bedside table and fill a full finger. The next morning, there was not a single member of staff in sight and so I had to find my way to breakfast on my own, trusting the sound of voices to be the best guess of direction. Once I found breakfast, it took 15 minutes for a member of staff to seat me, The highlight was the food which was half decent. I was completely appalled by this hotel and will be telling people at work and at home to not stay there if they are ever in the area. I have emailed he hotel with the above information and received no response.
