Goal 2 Breakout
Return to Stakeholders Conference
Goal 2 Breakout Questions from Strategic Planning Stakeholders Conference
1. How can we get area businesses more involved to create PRODUCTIVE partnerships?
2. Ideas and a vision to start a speaker's bureau.
3. How can we get our extended service area to become more actively involved in campus activities?
Table 1
Question 1
Question 2
Question 3
General Comments
Faculty-Loan Program -- advertising? -- need? On the web - Wiki - show how to use ... is this tool now the de facto clearinghouse of organization's dissemination of information?
Problem with absorbing presentations in a short time / presentation
Audit committee giving implementation committee information -- committee makeup and sharing/clearinghouse of information.
Problem with the information coming from too many sources and too many formats ... and not quality assured for accuracy.
Committee chairperson a filtering/clearinghouse of information before distributed to committee.
Our table would have needed to see the committee's information much sooner in advance to make more informed responses.
No Measure of improvement / increase year-over-year ... no quantifiable data. How to measure? Supporting data ...
"we" have the experise that the community needs ...
Speakers' Bureau -- need?Problems with restructuring action step 3? ... changed/reprioritized?
Need to discuss with community and county leaders from various fields, private and public ... do
Table 2
Question 1
FSU has to go to the businesses to seek involvement. What are your current needs?
Question 2
Gather information on speakers available. Again, reverse the order as well and bring speakers from businesses and the community and alums to participate in campus activities as well.
Question 3
The FSU community needs to go to them. Service areas already have been identified through class offerings; perhaps we could capitalize on that. Take program components such as GIS into the community to help identify needs and make connections with the community groups.
General Comments
- Table agreed that marketing director position is needed for the upcoming year.
- This is important as a first step for four of the goals. Marketing plan would help coordinate initiatives not only for this goal but for others as well. Marketing director would also need a budget.
- Faculty-to-loan business program needs to be defined and clarified. This could increase faculty development activities as well. Business –to-FSU program could benefit institution as well. Focus on where the opportunities to develop these programs exist and concentrate on developing those. Capture what is already going on in the institution and collect that information. *Here's what we're doing; here's what we could do for business.
- Campus calendars are available. Agree with timeline for Action Step 5. Programs and schools on campus need to use the calendars more.
Table 3
Question 1
- Are there any formal partnership agreements already established?
- IF not already included, add Sharon Shaffer to the committee to enhance business partnerships
- Host a "Day on Campus" for regional businesses – have breakouts on how we can help each other
- Link representatives from campus with each business partners
Question 2
- Use online survey tool to (link on homepage) to find out what human resources are available in the campus community. Look at *Advisory Council for faculty (see Leslie Lovett for website and example)
- Possibly look at a different title for the program "Community Conversations".
Question 3
- Promote hours better on website (user friendly) for resources on campus – Library, Falcon Center – Who is the website geared for – students? The public has a hard time finding some of the resources they would like to see unless it is highlighted on the front page.
- Promote activities/flyers to off campus sites
- Need to go to the community to promote activities.
- When community attends campus activities (fitness classes, library) how do you get out of parking garage? Not user friendly.
- Childcare available during larger, evening events, possible host a Community Ed class geared towards the children – use Falcon Center
General Comments
Implementation Team has added goals that have not been met to year 3 timeline.
Table 4
Question 1
Celebration of partnerships…see Goal 2 above
Question 2
Question 3
- Promote guest lecture series to service area as well as other events occurring.
- Times West Virginian, etc., could have a regular page promoting events at FS.
General Comments
- Calendar should be more prominently displayed on institutional website.
- Showcase partnerships on campus.
- Institution needs to give recognition to partners—maybe a "partner of the year" recognition—Action Step 2. Incorporate a workshop into process. Ask questions of partners—how can we do more/enhance/etc.
Table 5
Question 1
Question 2
Question 3
General Comments
- Combine marketing director for goals 2 and 3 and explore the possibility of this person serving the needs of both. This is considered a high priority by our group.
- We would like to have the speakers bureau as a higher priority and would like to have an increased level of funding. Also, attempt to utilize local and regional business men and women as speakers. Target programs such as the Aviation program that are little known quality programs. Target alumni as well for speakers.
- Identify additional community resources to help in this process.
- Explore the possibilities of inviting the local schools to come to campus as well as alumni.
- Target community organizations such as the county commission, chambers of commerce, school boards.
- Explore opportunities to provide community with donations such as food, equipment, books, and human resources..
Table 6
Question 1
- Let's define what we mean by area and what we mean by business.
- Give business the opportunity to tap into faculty expertise. We have done loans—e.g. the School of Business' Advisory Council. We need a mechanism to make this easier to do: a form on the Web site, a one-time presentation on campus. The School of Education has forty PDPs. Faculty in Education teach in partners' classrooms.
- We need to make sure that people are reporting these things. Faculty loans, even self-reported, are not "captured" in an electronic central repository.
Question 2
The Gear-up model is appropriate. The questions are how to get that information out to the public and who should be doing it. Is there a screening process? Have to mix freedom with honesty, visioning with getting the word out. Some people might not be the best speakers; we want to put our best foot forward. The speakers' bureau is different from a faculty loan. People in development are an asset because they can use that as an opportunity to secure faculty development, scholarship, long-term funding opportunities and special project funds. One of the challenges is integrating and aligning everything we do, all of our message points. Limit it to three people in the first year; use Jason Young as a coach.
Question 3
- Why do we want them to be more involved? The question presumes that there is something going on on campus. There are not services available on campus for Saturday classes—bookstore, coffee, etc.
- Some businesses have reached out to the campus—such as Book 'N Bean. Is there a way to get other businesses to reach out to students?
- Could we use WV Main Street to help us.
- Need alternative locations such as Caperton Center and Braxton County. We have an online community, a traveling lecture series. Café Cimeno in Sutton is a destination—what would it take to get Café suffered from being just here on main campus. *Activities need also to be accessible to people where they are—Cimeno and Fairmont State involved?
- What if we had a business appreciation day and went to Braxton County H.S. and took business leaders to lunch? We all know someone in business in the outlying areas and could make a contact.
- We would like to reframe the question to expand beyond the campus.
- The web site has to be more navigable. Have a separate landing page for campus activities. Purchase a package for an online community that provides online registration and online ticketing.
- Do webinars in real time that can be downloaded by people who are not able to do it in real time.
- Once we "touch" them electronically, they may come to campus. The overload on IT personnel is going to be an issue.
General Comments
Table 7
Question 1
What kind of productive outcomes are we looking for—monetary or marketing? Are we trying to draw a bigger crowd or donations? Many of the businesses are family-owned and cannot donation much time or money. Emphasize to them how a partnership with us benefits them.
Question 2
Meaning that representatives from here will go into the community to speak? Work with the School of Business to link students and professors with local businesses.
Question 3
Are we talking about our 13 county locations? How will the split affect this intention? For a lot of people child care is a major issue. Cannot be involved because of family obligations.
General Comments
be a better way for students to know what's offered esp. in terms of off-campus and evening courses Should be a master list of courses available to all students (not just model schedules) Why skipping action step 4 in timelines? Rewrite action step objectives that are not measurable to focus more on concrete outcomes
Table 8
Question 1
Provide a give and take criteria as well as a assessment tool to gauge the progress. EX: have students from which the partnerships formed to meet cetain requirements such as coming to campus and seating in on a class
Question 2
Athletics, reading program with the elementary schools Heaktg careers
Question 3
Communication Ex: Text messaging students so the information comes to them.
General Comments
Advisory groups for the University. 3A1 Community outreach programs 5A1 increase awareness of the economic impact of FS cultural activates in the region.
Table 9
Question 1
Question 2
Question 3
General Comments
– In the absence of a funded marketing director, we need to explore the separation of the marketing director role from the expansion of the special events and activities. The expansion is an important part of Action Step 1 and needs to be moved forward.
Is it possible to include the Foundation in the further expansion of philanthropic gifts, grants, and contracts. This needs to be a measurable item and the purpose needs to be identified. Without a identifiable purpose, this is amorphous.
The second action step needs a review in wording to clarify its goal as to whether it applies to this goal. Without a concise step, with a clear intent, no real action can be taken.
Determine which goals are being addressed in Action Step 2 – be specific. Pierpont needs to be included.
Suggestions for the clarification of language are needed for the action steps. Are they really meeting the goal?
The faculty loan to business program is very important. Change language in faculty to loan step to "explore" instead of initiate. Step is not far enough along to initiate.
Table 10
Question 1
Question 2
Question 3
General Comments
- All funding requests are in the areas of communications/marketing
- Include information on our EXPEDITE grant – communicate across the organization on our outreach efforts and work with companies.
- Create a standard Proposal for the business sector – include options for practicum, business partnerships, and internships. This was felt to be lacking in our student employment office.
- Could a consortium of businesses fund a position in placement? They need talent, and their HR departments are lacking connections to the school…
- Placement is not doing this…? (refers to individual placement into industry sector)
- Some departments working in specific sectors – but this is not coordinated across the organization.
- Start a listserve of employment opportunities/student availability
- Develop more robust student database with specific skills – most larger companies are using database mining of detailed resumes to find employees with specific skills and knowledge.
- Our assessment committee is looking at program goals/competencies. They need to look at external needs to specify software.
- Speakers' Bureau – portray the college more as a service provider
- Community service and outreach activities by faculty – need ways to create records and clearinghouse of such activities
- Information management is the key to these efforts. Although the College has come a long way toward competency in IT, the Banner database is not fully utilized for management of these other critical issues, and may not be the best tool for all needs.
- Fairmont State calendar needs better two-way integration with Outlook and Blackboard
- Alissa Wilmoth proposed a business center before strategic meeting last year, plan would have addressed many of the goals. Plan was proposed but died because there was money to fund a FEAP director.
- Prepare introductory packet to local HR departments, email list of students available for internships to area businesses every semester.
- Resume database that Fairmont state maintains - (news to many at the table). Resume building now is significantly different than the past. Monster etc. are mined for data, need a more robust method to capture student skills.
- Assessment committee looking at portfolio software, could be expanded to include access by employers to look for employees with the specific skills they need.
- Clearing house on campus to promote and publicize the community service work done by faculty and students.
Table 11
Question 1
offer them something they need. – get sufficient budgeting; assess their needs; look to see if we have something to offer them; clarify why this goal is important in the first place; define what we mean by "productive"? Need a way to measure some of these goals of partnership; many goals may need to be re-written, and this could be one of them. Should we focus these partnerships in the careers in which we have the most majors? Initiate partnerships that help both with little or no cost? Share resources and people, perhaps. Comes back to CSL, students may be qualified to offer a service through service learning while helping out a business. We need to reach out in to our existing Advisory Councils for folks who can get us in touch with these needs and beef up other advisory councils to be able to reach out to more. Community Service Learning just formed an Advisory Council. We need to start involving City Council and take our concerns and desires to them. Barb Fallon just went to City Council with some student speakers, reps from Learning Communities, to talk to City Council about recycling efforts and Adopt a Highway.
Question 2
Need to develop that ready list of faculty and staff and administrators in their skills areas who would be willing to serve on such a bureau, but we need to first clarify the need for such services by area businesses (see question 1). We need to develop those contacts and tap in to existing relationships. Need to make sure the folks serving are willing. Faculty emphasis, though, should be on their teaching duties and not use such a role as a reason to not attend class. Staff and administrators, as well as students, should be included on this Bureau. Graduate faculty would be good for this, and this may help recruit students in to our graduate programs, especially for the MBA program.
Question 3
General Comments
the institutional webpage is difficult to navigate and has obstacles in processing. Webpage is not user friendly. Can't find info easily. Banner creates obstacles, much errors when using, scheduling students, locating information. Each area's individual website needs constantly updated and proofread for accuracy, grammar, spelling, etc. Class scheduling is not user friendly, cannot search for all online course, all televised courses, weekend courses, etc.
Table 12
Question 1
Create a center on campus for business relationships – The School of Business has discussed this model for quite some time. This model could connect with each program and analyze the current actions as well as plan for future partnerships. Phil Mason (at table) is willing to provide some funding for release time for development of the project. Using the beginning of the School of Business and the funds from Phil's office, the baseline could be captured in the next couple of years and the center could be self-sustaining and profitable after a few years. Need to be program specific to ensure that all data is collected and so that all needs can be met.
Question 2
- Get a baseline idea of who is housing speakers and also ask alumni if they are willing to come back and speak (in the form of a regular alumni registration process).
- Speaker bureau should reach out and partner with existing departments, student organizations, etc, and use their contacts to obtain and coordinate with the potential speakers but perhaps the bureau can provide some funding to the organization and list the opportunity in the master list of events.
Question 3
We need to complete a comprehensive needs analysis to determine what would work best with the various areas. We need to determine some demographics to potentially target. Reaching out to the chamber, parent's groups, schools and teachers, rotary, etc.
General Comments
- Review of Action Steps: http://www.fairmontstate.edu/fsuwiki/goal-2-report-2008
- Reports by Lyla Grandstaff (Implementation) and Amie Fazalare (Audit)
- A proposed time line recommends that any items below target be moved to high priority in the year three timeline. Year two timeline is provided on the tables. Items need to be measurable.
Table 13
Question 1
- Faculty present to businesses at breakfast meetings, etc., to put "faces" to names, etc.
- Faculty/business person exchange
- Partner with Chamber of Commerce to create a Young Professionals Group
- Partner with Main Street programs
- Tap into Vandalia Heritage group
Question 2
- Partner with Chamber of Commerce
- Where is the list that we once had of speaker opportunities?
- Toastmasters?
Question 3
- Have campus speakers we bring in speak also off campus
- Get aviation program to fly to off-campus airports to bring publicity to our programs
General Comments
- Folklife Center needs to be added—resources needed, funding—e.g., assistant
- What is the advisory council on K-12 education?
- Center for Education for Appalachia—Education Policy Fellows Program, public service for people who are in policy positions –resources needed
- Conversations among outreach centers—work as a consortium—e.g., Folklife, Center for ED for App., PDS's
sharing of resources across centers—research and data management, outreach

MANCOS - Rarely, but sometimes, a man fits a job and the job fits the man. When that happens, you can have decades of productive, meaningful work.
Such is the legacy of Lloyd McNeil, a forestry technician who worked with the San Juan National Forest for 37 years and passed away this spring at 76, leaving 10 children, 26 grandchildren and miles of developed trails for us to hike.
I had the pleasure of meeting Lloyd to discuss one of his favorite topics - the Jersey Jim Fire Lookout Tower in the Dolores Ranger District, which he helped save in the 1980s.
Fire towers have less value nowadays because of airplane surveillance. Forest fires can be detected in other ways than by having lookouts 55 feet off the ground at 10,000 feet elevation on the alert for early smoke, which "is almost always white and almost always lingers," writes Philip Connors in his award-winning book Fire Season: Field Notes from a Wilderness Lookout.
Connors explains that 90 percent of American lookout towers have been decommissioned. In the prologue to his memoir, Connors describes the Osborne Firefinder: "A topographic map encircled by a rotating metal ring equipped with a sighting device. The sighting device allows you to discern the directional bearing of the fire from your location ... Once you have an azimuth, you must then judge the fire's distance from your perch."
Lloyd and I had climbed the 70 steps to the top of the Jersey Jim, and he turned his regulation U.S. Forest Service ball cap around so he could squint down the line of the Osborne Firefinder to demonstrate it to me. If Phil Connors has written a modern classic about fire lookouts - in the rich vein of his predecessors Jack Kerouac, Gary Snyder and Edward Abbey, who wrote about their lookout experiences - Lloyd McNeil had done Connors one better: Lloyd helped save the Jersey Jim Fire Lookout Tower, 14 miles northeast of Mancos, so guests can spend the night in that lofty perch.
"Saving the fire tower was his baby," says Clara McNeil as I sit in her large kitchen in Mancos.
"My husband heard that the Jersey Jim was going to be torn down, and he didn't want to see it happen," she says. "He got in hot water because he started to have meetings without asking the ranger. If that had been scrapped, he would have grieved the rest of his life."
Instead, Lloyd and friends created the Jersey Jim Foundation, a legal nonprofit, and Clara spent 18 years on the telephone as visitors made reservations to spend a night in the sky.
Lloyd was like that. He helped maintain hundreds of miles of forest trails on the west side of the La Plata Mountains, and he assisted with restoration and preservation of both the Aspen and Glade guard stations. He worked with volunteers, Boy Scouts and Eagle Scouts. According to Clara, his goal was "to save money for the taxpayers and make the best use of his time."
Always ready with a firm handshake, a smile and a project to be accomplished, Lloyd worked with the Back Country Horsemen, though he himself did not own a horse. He rode a Forest Service mount named Willie. When it was time to put the steed out to pasture, the Forest Service gave Willie to Lloyd.
"He was Lloyd's favorite 'person' on the forest," recalls Clara. "He used Willie to pack in gravel, culverts and anything else a trail needed."
Many San Juan National Forest employees have fond memories of Lloyd.
Public Information Officer Ann Bond remembers: "Lloyd on hunter patrol, patiently explaining to folks how not to damage the forest. Lloyd dropping by to visit every artist who stayed at the Aspen Guard Station. Lloyd at my desk to lament the latest vandalism to interpretive signs, historic buildings and recreational facilities. He would shake his head; he just couldn't fathom why anyone would hurt his beloved national forest.
"I remember the hundreds of people, young and old, who came to his retirement party at the Mancos Opera House," Bond says. "Lloyd spending personal and quality time with each and every one. Lloyd was the ultimate person to have at your campfire telling stories. Lloyd McNeil, always proudly in uniform, the heart and soul of the Forest Service."
McNeil built and maintained trails and fences and kept some of the cleanest campgrounds anywhere, but he also belonged to Mancos Grange 339 until it closed. In 1966, he won a national talent contest playing a ukulele. In the Mancos Valley Chorus he sang tenor. As a whistler, he placed in the top 10 during an international competition. And he wore kilts.
From string instruments he switched to bass and snare drums for the West Wind Pipes and Drums, a Scottish bagpipe band he helped found. The band tartan or kilt pattern is McNeil of Bara, Scotland, Lloyd's family. His band members say Lloyd "could always be relied upon to keep a strong and steady beat."
Lloyd was warm, congenial and inquisitive. When he learned the Thompson Park Campground north of U.S. Highway 160 had once been special to the Utes as a place for practicing with bows, arrows and later rifles, he sought a name change.
Today, it is known as Target Tree Campground. He consulted with both Southern Utes and Ute Mountain Utes to reinstate the spirit of Ivikukuch, or target tree. A short interpretive walk lets visitors learn about the peeled ponderosa pines along the trail and the importance of the area to Ute hunters centuries ago.
"Affectionately referred to as 'The Geezer,' Lloyd spent his entire career on the San Juan National Forest beginning on the old Mancos District in 1969 in recreation and finishing up as trail foreman for the Dolores Public Lands Office," explains Toni Kelly of the San Juan National Forest. "Lloyd adapted to several positions throughout his career, including LEO (law enforcement officer) and VIS (visitor information services).
"He had a remarkable career that tied the Forest Service to the local community in so many ways," Kelly says.
"Known as the whistling cowboy, Lloyd would merrily pack in Southwest Conservation Corps trail crews to remote locations on the San Juan National Forest while whistling and leading a pack string, never faltering," says Kevin Heiner, regional director of the Southwest Conservation Corps Four Corners Office.
"Lloyd seemed happy and rarely troubled, immersed in the day-to-day tasks of caring for the resources he loved so dearly," he says. "Many SCC crews and individuals gained a respect for hard work and stewardship of the land as they worked under Lloyd's direction."
Surely, his was a life well lived. I am grateful to have met Lloyd and to have spent a night with my wife in the Jersey Jim Lookout Fire Tower watching a brilliant sunset reflect off Hesperus Peak, and later the night lights of Cortez twinkling in the distance.
At his retirement party, Lloyd offered advice to his fellow foresters. Advice we should all heed: "Take care of the land and serve the people."
We'll try, Lloyd. We'll try.

Tagged: "Lucida Sans Unicode", font, propulsion
I would like to add a new font to my website, the fonts is "Lucida Sans Unicode"
I have browsed the forum but cant find the info
1) from were can i import it or find?
2) can i put it in the quick CSS or do i need to save it some were else?
3) how do make this the default font, so that the vistors computer chooses this font before say, Ariel
4) is there any negative issues using Lucida Sans Unicode with a reponsive design?
thanks for your help!
John Carrier
Hi John,
That font you would have to add via a free plugin, just search for 'font' here (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/); since it is not part of the hundreds of Google fonts (http://www.google.com/webfonts), i believe it can't be automatically added. Otherwise you could add it to the theme's css file.
Hi Nick
I have now down loaded the font.
How do I make it my default font for my main_menu and sub_menu?
Do you have ttf or otf file for Lucida Sans? And another oef file for IE?
You need to create a new folder and name it fonts and copy the font files there. Now, add this on your custom.css
font-family: Lucida San Unicode;
src: local( Lucida San Unicode ), url(''http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-content/themes/propulsion/font/lucida-sans-unicode.ttf'')
I think you may be able to use the Lucida fonts now. Sometimes fonts will not show up on the user screens if they don't have the font files. You may have to use web fonts from google or font squirrel like Nick said.
The topic 'add new font to propulsion, "Lucida Sans Unicode"' is closed to new replies.

Independence (Kan.) Community College coach David Ward isn't ashamed to admit he's a little biased when it comes to blue-chip receiver Andre Simmons.
The 6-foot-3, 201-pound sophomore receiver was one of the best receivers in the Jayhawk Conference last season when he grabbed 57 receptions for 890 yards and seven touchdowns. Now that he's a year older, Ward has no reservations in calling him the best receiver not only in the conference, but possibly the entire nation.
"The kid has not seen single coverage in the last eight games," Ward said. "Everybody plays two over top on him. They put a corner on him and then put a safety over him. Tyler did the same thing in the first game and he still had seven catches and a touchdown."
Article Continues Below
He also played a key in Indy's 16-7 victory over Dodge City this past Saturday.
"He's special," Ward said. "That's a defense's game plan – stop Andre."
Simmons is already drawing a host of schools showing interest. He has a written offer from Kansas State and is also hearing from Arkansas, Missouri, Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma State, South Florida and Kansas. Simmons is originally from South Carolina and also will draw plenty of interest from South Carolina and Clemson, but he said recently that returning home isn't a huge deal to him.
"We brought in two more out of state receivers," Ward said. "The plan is to try and get some guys to stop double-teaming him, but they won't. They don't care how many TDs we throw to the other guys, but they want to stop Andre."
His coach said more than Kansas State has offered him, but things will start to clarify itself on the recruiting trail as the schools move forward with the recruiting process.
"I just think as far as the receivers in the league, he's better than anybody I've seen," he said. "I saw Larry Brakcens when he was recruited, and he's on the same level. If he's in single coverage, he's going to score a touchdown on you. There is nothing anybody can do about it.
"He's got everybody interested. I just talked to Georgia about him this morning. He's got a lot of offers and it'll all be there for him to look at."
Even though Simmons is the headliner, Ward said his team does have plenty of other prospects worthy of mentioning.
Ward is extremely high on linebacker Dillon Cox, a 6-foot-3, 240-pounder that played last season for Butler County. He also thinks his other linebacker, Mycheal McJunkins, is one of the best in the league.
"Dillon can really, really run," Ward said. "But Mycheal is a 6-0, 238-pound kid that can run a 4.5. He's a D-I signee for sure. We all know he's going somewhere big time. He's one of the best in the conference. We're all excited about him."
On the defensive line, Ward is excited about Shavod Atkinsin, a 6-foot-1, 316-pound defensive tackle originally from Hobart, Okla. Ward said he is a "physically dominating player," and has played well despite being a little banged up this fall.
Emmanual Lamur, a 6-foot-5, 218-pound defensive back/linebacker from West Palm Beach, Fla., is another player worthy of mentioning. Ward loves his range and ability to come up and support the run.
"He's going to be very special," Ward said. "He's long, rangy and very physical. He's a big hitter, too. He's got a 360-pound bench press, which is a rare for a guy with such long arms. He can definitely play on that next level."
On the offensive side of the ball, Ward thinks his quarterback Jeff Schibi, who is originally from Parsons, Kan., has a shot at playing Division I football. He also mentioned tight end Luke Baker (6-4, 225) and offensive center Eric Brown (6-4, 285) as players that should get good attention.
Ward also gushes about his freshman class.
He thinks cornerback Dave Clark, a 6-foot-2, 181-pounder from Baton Rouge, La., will be one of the most heavily recruited prospects in the conference next season.
"He's the only person I've seen that's been able to cover Andre one-on-one," Ward said. "They push each other hard in practice. He's going to be very, very heavily recruited. He's an upper-level BCS type kid."
Auburn fans will be excited to know 2008 signee Freddie Smooth landed on his feet at Indy and is 100 percent committed to return to the Tigers when he graduates in two years. Ward said he was placed by the Tigers at Indy and will stay committed to Auburn.
He also mentioned receiver freshman Jarius Williams as a player that is likely Division I bound.
He was a late, late qualifier out of Parrish, Ala., and was sent to Indy by Louisville. Ward said Louisville plans on taking Williams when he is done this season and the 6-foot, 178-pounder will have four years to play three seasons since he was a full qualifier.

Ohio vs Temple Wrap - Ohio Wins 31-23
Ohio got a 100-yard performance from Vince Davidson as a key part of its 31-23 victory over the Owls on Tuesday at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Bobcats were a 10-point underdog in the win, and managed to turn a profit for their supporters. The combined score went OVER the total, which closed at 45.5.
Boo Jackson completed 4 of 12 pass attempts for 78 yards for the Bobcats in the win. He was picked off 1 time by the Owls defense.
Matt Brown rushed for 72 yards for Temple, while Ahkeem Smith added 6 yards. Mike Gerardi threw for 311 yards for the Owls, while receivers Michael Campbell and Ryan Alderman had 131 and 73 yards respectively.
Ohio lost the offensive yardage battle to Temple 402-282 yards in Tuesday's game. Temple had more first downs as that total ended up 21-14.
The time of possession battle favored Temple as their offense was on the field for 31:22, longer than the 28:38 of their opponents.
Ohio looks to continue their winning ways next game with a battle against Kent State. Temple will aim to get back on the winning track at Miami (Ohio).

Kendrick looking forward to mound return
Kendrick looking forward to mound return
HOUSTON -- Right-hander Kyle Kendrick, who will pitch the first game of Thursday's doubleheader at home against Florida, is anxious to get back out there after returning from the paternity leave list last weekend.
Kendrick and wife, "Survivor" contestant Stephenie LaGrossa, welcomed their first child, a daughter, over the first weekend this month.
"I've never gone this long without facing a hitter, but I'm staying pretty sharp on the side and throwing off the mounds," Kendrick said.
Kendrick last pitched in a game on Aug. 24, a four-inning stint against the Mets, and is 4-4 with a 3.50 ERA in 13 starts this season. He has thrown a couple of bullpen sessions, but facing live hitting is the main issue, as well as arm strength.
"I haven't thrown that many pitches," he said. "But I think I should be fine. I don't know what my pitch count might be but [my goal would be] to go as deep as I can and just keep us in the game."

wikiHow to Dress for Easter Sunday
Three Methods:Dress for Easter ActivitiesSelect Springtime Colors and PatternsAccessorize an Easter Sunday OutfitCommunity Q&A
On Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because Easter occurs in the Spring in the northeast hemisphere, the holiday is often symbolized by eggs, rabbits and baby chicks, which represent images of new life. Likewise, Easter clothing typically evokes bright, spring-like colors, patterns and styles, even though it is in Autumn in New Zealand, Australia and other countries south of the equator! Traditional Easter Sunday attire includes dresses and hats (often referred to as Easter bonnets) for women and suits for men. However, formal Easter attire is being replaced by more casual clothes in many regions of the United States and elsewhere that Easter is celebrated. Use these steps as a guide for how to dress for Easter Sunday.
Dress for Easter Activities
1Select Easter attire based on the activities planned for the day. Recommended dress for an Easter Sunday church service will differ from a family brunch or a backyard Easter egg hunt. To choose your clothing, it is important to determine where and when your Easter events will be. Select clothing that is appropriate for the activities, keeping comfort and location in mind.
2Choose attire for an Easter Sunday church service. If you have not attended Easter Sunday worship services at the church, call the church office or ask a family member or friend about appropriate attire. Some churches have traditions of formal attire on Easter, while others are more casual. If the church requests formal attire, ask if the women typically wear Easter bonnets. But do not overdo it.
- Select modest styles. The purpose of attending an Easter church service is to worship God and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, so dress in a respectful manner that does not detract from the worship service. Women should select dresses with hem lines that are knee-length or longer, and avoid low-cut shirts. If women wear sleeveless dresses, they should cover their shoulders with a cardigan or dressy jacket. Men should not wear shorts or open shirts.
- Avoid denim. Jeans and denim materials are not appropriate for most Easter Sunday worship services.
- Choose business attire when in doubt. If you are unsure about how to dress for an Easter Sunday church service, wear clothing you would wear to a meeting at work. Business attire for women indicates a suit or a dress with a jacket, while business attire for men means a suit and tie.
3Select attire for an Easter egg hunt. In most cases, Easter egg hunts are held outdoors, so dress for the weather. Choose attire that is comfortable and allows you to move freely. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as you may be walking or running.
- Choose Easter egg hunt attire for women. Consider a sundress with a cardigan, a-line skirt with a sweater set, or capri-length pants with a lightweight top. Cardigans, sweater sets and jackets allow for versatility in the event of hot or cold weather.
- Choose Easter egg hunt attire for men. Consider khaki pants and a button-down shirt, or khaki shorts and a polo shirt. Bring a sweater or jacket in case the weather is cool.
4Select outfits that can go from church to brunch to an egg hunt. Consider an adaptable business casual outfit if your Easter celebration includes both formal and casual events.
- Choose business casual outfits for women. Select dressy slacks or a skirt with a silk twinset, or a sundress with a dressy cardigan. Wear high heels to church, and bring a pair of comfortable flats with you for brunch or an egg hunt.
- Select business casual outfits for men. Consider dress pants with a lightweight sweater, or khaki pants with a button-down shirt and a sport coat. Wear the sport coat to church and then take it off for the egg hunt later that afternoon.
Select Springtime Colors and Patterns
1Choose spring colors for your Easter attire. Easter attire traditionally reflects the colors of the blooming trees and flowers of spring. Select Easter Sunday clothing in pastel hues, such as yellow, lavender and pink.
- Opt for colors that flatter your skin tone. Not everyone looks good in pastel colors. If pastels make you look washed out, consider brighter tones. For example, instead of wearing a pastel yellow, choose a canary yellow that brightens your complexion.
- Pair pastels with dark colors for women's Easter outfits. Depending on your shape, an all-pastel outfit may not be flattering. Women may pair a pastel top with a navy skirt or black pants for a more flattering outfit that incorporates traditional Easter tones.
- Add color to men's outfits with pastel shirts. Men can add a subtle splash of color to Easter Sunday outfits by incorporating colors like melon, robin's egg blue and mint green into shirts, sweaters or ties. These pastel hues pair well with khaki, wheat and camel tones for a masculine Easter look.
2Select floral prints. Because Easter marks the beginning of spring, floral prints are popular options for Easter Sunday attire. Consider floral sundresses, skirts, blouses or accessories.
- Choose flattering floral patterns for women. Large patterns add bulk and can make women look heavier. Women with larger frames usually are better suited to delicately patterned floral tops paired with solid color bottoms.
- Consider a floral jacket or cardigan for a chilly day. A floral jacket or cardigan provides layering versatility for an Easter Sunday outfit while also incorporating a springtime motif.
- Select floral ties for men. Easter Sunday is not the appropriate time to wear a floral Hawaiian shirt. Rather, men may incorporate a sophisticated floral pattern into a tie or handkerchief paired with a suit.
Accessorize an Easter Sunday Outfit
1Add accessories to women's Easter attire. An Easter bonnet (or hat) is the traditional Easter Sunday accessory, but experiment with more modern accessories to create a look that reflects your style.
- Consider jewelry, scarves, handbags and hair accessories when putting together an Easter Sunday outfit. When dressing for an Easter Sunday church service, opt for accessories that add to the elegance of your outfit. When selecting more casual Easter attire, consider bold accessories that add a pop of color or make a dramatic statement.
2Select shoes to complement a woman's Easter Sunday outfit. Coordinate shoes with the style and colors of the outfit. Or for greater versatility, choose shoes in a nude shade that can later be worn with other outfits.
- Consider sling-back pumps or patent leather heels for church attire, or strappy sandals or Mary Janes for more casual Easter attire.
3Choose accessories to pull together a man's outfit. Men may choose a matching belt and shoes, such as a brown belt with a brown loafer, for a coordinated look. Dress shoes should be polished, especially for Easter Sunday formal attire.
- Consider adding color to a suit with a tie and matching handkerchief.
4Avoid obvious Easter motifs. When choosing accessories for men and women, avoid prominent Easter prints, which are better suited for children.

Tall wood buildings are capturing the imagination of architects, engineers and developers, who see them as a way to lessen the carbon footprint of the built environment while demonstrating ingenuity and meeting the same standards for safety and performance as any building type.
Heightened awareness of the environmental benefits of wood combined with advances in wood technology and manufacturing have aligned to make tall wood buildings not only possible but safe and cost effective.
Among the many accelerating aspects of the tall wood revolution—such as seismic and other testing that will form the basis of further building code developments—innovations in approach will be one of the most exciting to watch as some of North America's most creative minds embrace the challenge of designing tall wood buildings.

text: I recieved a bad check in the amount of $2600 a few weeks ago. The check was from a regular repeat customer that has always paid me in advance. Never had any problems out of them before. When I called about the check they claimed that they had gotten their check book stolen and somebody had written a lot of big checks on their account. They had also had some equipment stolen and they would make the check good in a couple of weeks If I would just hold onto it. I know for a fact that there have been several houses broke into in their area so I figure they are telling the truth. I have also known these people for a long time and poor they are not. I didnt mind waiting on my money for a few weeks, its not like its going to break me, but it is my money. I have talked to them twice since the first call notifying them I had the bounced check, both times they assured me they would have my money by the end of the week. Both weeks passed and no money. My question is, just how much time should I give them to make good on the check. I have done several thousand $$ of work for them in the past and would hate to lose their business just because I was a little impatient. At the same time, I dont like doing work and not getting paid. Im not ready to pull a Bobby yet but my wife is polishing up the shovel and pick handle.

Dr. Yeager Study: Trust Gap May Hinder Academic Success for Minorities
Dr. David Yeager's New Study:
A Trust Gap May Hinder Academic Success
for Minorities
AUSTIN, Texas — Middle school students of color who lose trust in their teachers due to perceptions of mistreatment from school authorities are less likely to attend college even if they generally had good grades, according to psychology research at The University of Texas at Austin published in the journal Child Development.
Low expectations from teachers and extreme disparities in discipline for misbehavior contribute to the disproportionate mistreatment of African American and Latino youths in schools across the United States, and can lead to a growing mistrust for authority by students who perceive and experience such biases, researchers said.
"When students have lost trust, they may be deprived of the benefits of engaging with an institution, such as positive relationships and access to resources and opportunities for advancement," said UT Austin assistant professor of psychology David Yeager. "Thus, minority youth may be twice harmed by institutional injustices."
In their study, Yeager and researchers from UT Austin, Columbia University and Stanford University examined 483 U.S. middle school students' perceptions of their teachers' impartiality and how those attitudes related to any disciplinary treatment they received and to the likelihood of on-time enrollment at a four-year college.
Data were drawn from twice-yearly surveys, from sixth grade until college entry, by 277 white and African American middle- and lower-middle-class students in the northeastern U.S., and compared with a one-year study of 206 white and Latino middle schoolers in rural Colorado. Trust was measured based on how students identified with statements such as: "I am treated fairly by my teachers and other adults at my school."
The researchers found that trust decreased for all students from sixth to eighth grade but declined faster for African American and Latino students than it did for their white peers. Furthermore, students who lost more trust than expected in seventh grade were less likely to fulfill on-time enrollment at a four-year college six years later.
"Prior research shows that people trust an institution more when they perceive that it is procedurally just and that its authorities have personal regard for individuals served by the institution," Yeager said. In the study, minorities also reported more racial disparities than white students in decisions involving school discipline, with fewer than 55 percent of African American students expecting equal treatment after the first semester of sixth grade.
Official school records indicated that African Americans were disciplined more throughout middle school, particularly in regards to more grey-area incidents involving "defiance" and "disobedience" where African American students outnumbered their white peers nearly 3-to-1. Still, the largest race gap in school discipline was in sixth grade, fueling a perceived bias and predicting future disciplinary incidents, researchers said.
"Perceived bias and mistrust reinforce each other. And like a stone rolling down a hill that triggers an avalanche, the loss of trust could accumulate behavioral consequences over time," Yeager said. "Seeing and expecting injustice and disrespect, negatively stereotyped ethnic minority adolescents may disengage, defy authorities, underperform and act out."
To combat this vicious cycle, researchers tested the efficacy of a "wise feedback" intervention on improving students' trust in a small experimental sub-sample of 88 white and African American seventh-graders. In the experiment, half of the students received critiques and a hand-written note from their teacher on a first-draft essay, stating: "I'm giving you these comments because I have very high expectations, and I know that you can reach them." While this intervention did not influence white students, African American students had fewer disciplinary incidents the following year (about half) and were 30 percentage points more likely to attend college than those in the control group.
The researchers caution that the one-time note is not an intervention that is designed for wide-scale use, but it highlights that teachers can work more systematically to create a classroom climate that boosts the trust of students who may have to contend with discrimination.

The role of industrial symbiosis in promoting bio-fuel feedstock uses for UK food and fibre production
The UK government has promoted bio-fuels as a major contribution in tackling global warming and realising its sustainable development objectives. However, there is now clear evidence that first-generation bio-fuels suffer from serious eco-inefficiencies. UK bio-fuel policy instruments, far from supporting the development of sustainable energy alternatives, may in fact be adding to habitat loss, damaging carbon sinks and deepening the problems of global hunger. To ensure that bio-fuels ameliorate rather than aggravate the problems of resource management, the technological fixes available need to be combined with greater awareness of their wider ramifications. Had policy-makers applied the principles of industrial symbiosis rather than adopting a silo mentality when shaping a policy with respect to bio-fuels, they could have avoided many of these unintended detrimental consequences.

Israel to retaliate after army base rocket attack
Israel firmly laid the blame on Hamas for a rocket attack on a western Negev army base at 2am yesterday which left at least 35 soldiers wounded in hospital – one critically and two severely.
The rocket landed on an empty tent at the Zikkim base but hurled shrapnel into neighbouring tents where troops had been sleeping, causing the biggest single injury toll of any Qassam rocket attack.
Tzipi Livni, Israel's Foreign Minister, hinted at possible retaliatory cut-offs of electricity and water to Gaza when she said, "we have means, means which are not only military" for responding to the attack.
While responsibility for the rocket strike was claimed by two other militant groups, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committees, Ms Livni said: "It doesn't really matter which organisation took responsibility. Gaza is entirely controlled by Hamas. Hamas has the ability to stop it and has decided not to do that."
Hamas made no effort to distance itself from the attack with a spokesman, Fawzi Barhoum, declaring: "We consider this a victory from God for the resistance. We consider the resistance as the legitimate right of the Palestinians to defend themselves and restore their rights."
Ms Livni used the attack – which prompted renewed calls from politicians for a full-scale military operation in Gaza – to underpin the government's strategy of seeking to boost the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, in the West Bank at the expense of Hamas.
Eli Yishai, a cabinet minister in the religious party Shas, said Israel would in the end "have no choice but to act" and called for cancellation of the international peace conference including Israel, Mr Abbas and his Ramallah-based emergency government, planned by the US for November.
But Ms Livni insisted in the wake of an attack, which the military said had injured 69 soldiers in all: "On the one hand we need to act against the terrorists in Gaza. On the other hand we need to reach an understanding with the moderates in the West Bank."
Several families of soldiers at the base complained about the lack of protection for troops sleeping under canvas only a kilometre inside the Israeli border with Gaza. An alert was sounded before the rocket landed but most of the sleeping soldiers were unable to reach shelter in time.
Shuki Wolfus, whose son had been due to join the Israel Defence Forces' (IDF) orchestra as a trumpeter next week but had a leg amputated , told the Ynet news service: "This could have been prevented. Why should soldiers be placed at a base without fortification?"
The health ministry in Gaza said two Palestinian girls aged seven and 17 were in hospital last night after being wounded in an Israeli missile strike that followed the attack. The IDF said it had fired a missile at the site where the rockets had been launched but had carried out no other operations in Gaza yesterday.
The signs were that the Israeli cabinet will continue authorising "pinpoint" air and ground strikes against the Qassam rockets.
The IDF also said it had closed the Kerem Shalom crossing in south-east Gaza after militants fired a series of mortars at it.
Bernard Kouchner, the French Foreign Minister, who met Ms Livni yesterday, said the groups behind the rocket attack were seeking to "undermine the process of negotiations between Israel and Abu Mazen [Mr Abbas]".

New adviser expected for Nassau legislature
Frank Moroney, now chief deputy for Nassau Comptroller George Maragos, is expected to move to the county legislature and become chief adviser and strategist for incoming presiding officer, Legis. Norma Gonsalves (R-East Meadow), according to several Republican officials.
They say Moroney will replace Ed Ward, the late Presiding Officer Peter Schmitt's chief aide, who is going to work for County Executive Edward Mangano.
Moroney, an lawyer, is the North Hempstead Town Republican leader. He served as executive director of the Charter Revision Commission, which created the county legislature, and was director of its first redistricting commission. He is now chairman of the current redistricting commission, which will recommend new lines for legislative elections next year. Earlier in his career, he worked for the state senate and was a member of the North Hempstead Town Board. He briefly served as clerk of the county legislature when two Democratic lawmakers and the then- Republican minority attempted unsuccessfully in 2006 to oust Legis. Judy Jacobs (D-Woodbury) as presiding officer.
Moroney declined comment.

text: I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who assumes that carrying in a holster automatically means the person is a "good guy" is a fool. While the majority of crooks don't use holsters, a sizeable minority do. Just like most crooks will carry any gun they can get their hands on, while some crooks are very picky in their gun selection. Anyone, cop or not, who assumes a person is not a criminal simply because that person uses a holster is an ignorant fool. I've arrested enough crooks with holsters to know better.

It is hard to imagine anyone in football, from his old adversary Sir Alex Ferguson at the top of the Premier League to the most casual watcher of Match of the Day, suppressing an instinctive smile at the news of Kevin Keegan's return to St James's Park. By inviting the great enthusiast back into the game the board of Newcastle United have made the one decision guaranteed to earn them a period of virtually unanimous approval and gratitude.
Keegan is a Yorkshireman whose greatest feats as a player were achieved in the shirts of Liverpool and Hamburg. But Newcastle is where he belongs. In the great stadium that looms over the capital of the north-east, his endearing emotional incontinence found its perfect echo.
His statistics go some of the way to explaining the affection in which he is held by the Geordie fans. As a player between 1982 and 1984 he gave them 48 goals in 78 games, the highest average of his professional career. As the manager from 1992 to 1997 he presided over 249 league and cup matches, winning 55.4% of them and drawing 20.1% - the best figures of any manager in the Magpies' history. Among the players he brought to the club during that period were Andrew Cole, Peter Beardsley, Les Ferdinand, David Ginola and Alan Shearer.
Until his first spell as a manager reached its climax with that ill-fated 12-point lead over Ferguson's Manchester United on January 22 1996, it had been euphoria all the way. He had been brought back to Newcastle by Sir John Hall, who had created the Metro Centre as a cornerstone of the city's revival, harboured the vision of developing Newcastle into a multi-platform sports club to rival Barcelona and Real Madrid and believed he had found the perfect front man. Keegan was given a house in the grounds of Hall's estate, Wynyard Hall. As tied cottages and feudal relationships go, it was some kind of idyll for the son of an Armthorpe miner.
Keegan's rapport with the fans was wonderfully intimate. He ran open training sessions at Durham University's sports ground, where the fans could gather each morning to watch the manager and his assistant and former Anfield team-mate Terry McDermott attempt to make mugs of the current squad in the eight-a-side games that were his idea of preparation for the weekend's big match.
He is not an angel and can respond badly to criticism. But a personal memory from that time is of half an hour spent observing him at Heathrow airport one evening, as he was drawn into conversation with a couple of supporters while waiting to board the evening shuttle to Newcastle. Unusually for Keegan, he looked drained, like a businessman at the end of a day of awkward meetings. He could have said a brief hello to the fans, signed an autograph or two and politely retreated into the contents of his briefcase. Instead he gave them the full 30 minutes and every sign of his fullest attention.
That era was to end in anticlimax. Ferguson's team remorselessly overhauled Newcastle's lead to win the 1995-96 title, with Keegan's £7.5m capture of Faustino Asprilla, the sporadically brilliant but hideously infuriating Colombian striker, widely blamed as the catalyst and symbol of the sudden decline. There were other disappointments, starting with defeat against United in the following season's Charity Shield. On a wider front Hall's achievements never quite matched his stated ambitions, and the club's administration began to drift into a period of self-indulgence and negligence that would reach its nadir shortly after Keegan had been replaced by Kenny Dalglish, when the chairman and vice-chairman, Freddy Shepherd and Douglas Hall (Sir John's son), were lured by the News of the World into making insulting remarks about the club's fans and players, not to mention the women of Newcastle.
When Keegan resigned on January 8 1997 the team were lying fourth in the Premier League. He had taken them, he said, as far as he could. It was an impulsive gesture in keeping with other pivotal decisions he had made and would still make throughout his career, but the entropy within the club was already making itself apparent and he could consider himself well out of it.
Now he is right back in it, eyeing the chance to erase the memory of the two incidents that define his managerial career so far. The first was the notoriously ill-judged televised outburst aimed at Ferguson in April 1996, when the dream of a black and white championship was crumbling between his fingers. The second was his resignation from the job of England manager on October 7 2000, when he brought his 21-month tenure to an end after the 1-0 defeat by Germany at Wembley with the typically honest and unguarded declaration that he had "come up short" in his tactical thinking.
No lover of English football will begrudge him the opportunity to redeem those lapses or the chance to write a new chapter in the history of an extraordinary club. The cavalier has entered the gates and the roundheads are in flight. It may all end in tears. But the noise when he makes his return on Saturday evening will be worth hearing.
Goals and cuddles King Kev's first reign
Feb 1992 Appointed
Eight years after retiring as a player - having helped Newcastle win promotion to the old First Division and left St James' Park by helicopter - he is appointed the club's manager.
May 1993 Promotion
Newcastle score 92 goals as they reach the Premier League with Pavel Srnicek in goal, Steve Howey in defence and David Kelly as the No9. Andy Cole is signed in the spring.
Jan 1995 Sells Andy Cole
The team lie fifth in the league when angry fans gather outside St James' Park to protest after Cole is sold to Manchester United. 'I'm in charge - not you,' Keegan tells them.
May 1995 Misses out on Europe
Newcastle finish sixth in the league and lose out on European qualification but an attacking side is taking shape with Peter Beardsley, Keith Gillespie and Ruel Fox.
Jan 1996 Races to 12-point lead
Newcastle produce some outstanding attacking football with players such as David Ginola, Faustino Asprilla and Les Ferdinand to pull away from Manchester United in the league.
May 1996 Blows his lid
United are ahead and Keegan loses his rag on television: 'I'll tell ya. You can tell him [Ferguson] now, we're still fighting for this title and I'll tell you, I will love it if we beat them - love it.' Misses title, signs Shearer for £15m.
Dec 1996 Offers Francis a cuddle
Newcastle beat Spurs 7-1 but Keegan is affected by the miserable face of his opposite number, Gerry Francis. 'I wanted to go up and give him a cuddle. That's when you feel like you have to get out'.
Jan 1997 Resigns
Keegan walks out and says: 'I feel I've taken the club as far as I can and that it would be in the best interests of all concerned if I resigned. It was my decision'.

Market opportunities for organic foods as a local product
The article aims to discover further means of promoting the organic food in the market. The article analyses some results of the two questionnaire surveys and explores the costumers' and consumers' interest in both organic foods and regionally branded products. At the moment, it seems to be there a low interrelation between organic products and products with a regional brand. At the same time, there is a quite high interest of costumers in local food products.

DENVER — The Browns got more accomplished in their two-day trip to the Rockies than they did in two home games and a month of training camp.
Charlie Frye got the start and maintained his slight edge in the quarterback competition with an 80-yard touchdown drive on the game's first possession. It was the starting offense's first touchdown of the preseason, and it was impressive.
Brady Quinn entered with 10:48 left in the third quarter of a tie game. He looked nearly as sharp vs. the Broncos' first- and second-teamers as he did in his debut last week against Detroit's scrubs. Quinn finished 7-for-11 for 81 yards and a 116.1 rating, and engineered the winning touchdown drive that ended with a 20-yard catch-and-run to Joshua Cribbs late in the third quarter.
Oh, yeah, the Browns (2-1) walked away with a win Saturday night, 17-16. The victory was preserved when David McMillan and Chaun Thompson stopped running back Selvin Young on a 2-point conversion try with 2:56 left.
While general manager Phil Savage reiterated that it was "unrealistic" for people to expect Quinn to be ready to start the opener Sept. 9, Quinn once again showed he's a quick study. He completed his first four passes, including a gorgeous 25-yard throw down the seam to Kellen Winslow, who made a nifty catch. (Winslow sat out the first quarter in a "coach's decision.")
"He performs well when he comes in," Browns coach Romeo Crennel said of Quinn. "He looked pretty good."
Quinn's first drive ended with a missed 46-yard Phil Dawson field goal and his second with Cribbs' score. Cribbs caught a short out, broke the tackle of Domonique Foxworth and exploded down the left sideline for a 20-yard touchdown. It gave the Browns a
17-10 lead.
Quinn, sporting a shaved head, worked with Winslow and the first-team receivers on his first drive.
They were replaced by second-teamers for his next possession, and Quinn stayed in for the rest of the game.
One drive was thwarted by a Travis Wilson drop and a miscommunication between Quinn and Wilson. The next drive ended when Quinn overthrew an open Jerome Harrison deep down the sideline on third down.
After last week's sloppy loss to the Lions that was plagued by coaching and player mistakes in the red zone, the goal this week was to be efficient and effective offensively. Crennel held a meeting early in the week to address the substitution and play-clock problems.
The work paid off.
Frye (5-for-7, 68 yards, 102.1 rating) took the team 80 yards in 11 plays to open the game. Frye hit Joe Jurevicius for 11 yards on the first play — Jurevicius' first catch of the preseason — and scrambled for 13 yards on third-and-5 as tackles Joe Thomas and Kevin Shaffer were beat.
But Frye's best play was a perfectly thrown fade to Braylon Edwards for 24 yards over Dre Bly in single coverage. That moved the ball to the 6-yard line, and Jamal Lewis took care of the rest on two runs, the second a hard-earned 1-yard plunge. Lewis ran four times for 13 yards on the drive.
"We feel very good about getting the win here," Crennel said. "It's a tough place to play. We looked like a football team."
Denver cut the lead to 7-3 on a 29-yard Jason Elam field goal after receiver Javon Walker dropped a pass on third-and-2.
Frye's second and final series — he was hoping for more time with the season two weeks away — started with a slight overthrow on a deep ball to Edwards. Frye appeared to wait too long to let go of the ball, but he overshot Edwards in the thin mile-high air.
Lewis converted a third-and-1 with a 2-yard run over left tackle, and Frye hit Edwards for a 10-yard hook against Bly on third-and-5. The drive stalled when Lewis was stopped for a 1-yard loss on third-and-1 and Winslow jumped on fourth-and-2, forcing a punt from midfield.
Derek Anderson replaced Frye for the third series. His best drive advanced to the 3-yard line, where he took a sack on third down when he couldn't find a receiver or pull the trigger. Anderson (7-for-9, 74 yards, 100.9) played a series in the third quarter that ended with him missing an open Edwards and limping off the field. He appeared to be OK on the sideline.
The defensive starters also played a series into the third quarter and held the Broncos to 10 points, but Denver was able to move the ball pretty consistently.
A pair of defensive penalties also hurt the Browns. Sean Jones was called for holding, negating his interception and leading to a Denver field goal. And defensive end Shaun Smith twisted quarterback Jay Cutler's legs after a run, drawing a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty on a touchdown drive in the last two minutes of the first half.
Cutler finished 9-for-14 for 115 yards, a touchdown and a 113.7 rating. Backup running back Cecil Sapp averaged 5.1 yards on eight carries.

Campbell ready for new start at Pompey
Sol Campbell is ready to kick off his new career with Portsmouth in a specially-arranged friendly next week and insists: 'I'm still ambitious and I've come to a special club.'
Despite being linked with moves to Italy, France, Newcastle and Manchester City after Arsenal agreed to pay up the remainder of his £80,000-a-week contract at the end of last season, the 31-year-old England defender has resurfaced at Pompey on a two-year deal.
After just three days' training with the south coast club he took no part in last night's 2-1 defeat by 2004 European champions Porto, apart from being introduced to Fratton Park fans before the start.
But he is aiming to be ready for the Premiership opener at home to Blackburn a week on Saturday and said: 'They are arranging a game for me some time next week and, hopefully, I'll be available for the Blackburn game.'
Campbell will probably face a local non-league side and ease himself back into action following his last appearance as a substitute for England in the World Cup finals against Sweden.
But the man who scored Arsenal's goal in their 2-1 defeat by Barcelona in the Champions League final in May is convinced there are many more big games ahead - with Pompey.
He denied breaking a gentleman's agreement with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger that he would continue his career abroad and said: 'That was the situation I was looking at. It would have been fantastic, but none of the situations were concrete or the right move for me.
'So I was left with the option of finding another club at home or sitting around doing nothing, just twiddling my thumbs.
'I didn't go back on my word (to Wenger). It is just that nothing materialised abroad. Who knows? I might still get to play abroad in a few years' time.'
He added, 'I knew Portsmouth wanted me from the start and I'm delighted to come here. It is a special club, an ambitious club. The guys here want to move forward with it.
'I know they are planning to sign some more top players and if we can get the right ones with the right attitude I can see us challenging for a place in Europe.'
Pompey manager Harry Redknapp has signed just three new players so far this summer - Campbell, on-loan Glen Johnson from Chelsea and free transfer David Thompson - despite a major influx of cash from new owner Alexandre Gaydamak.
But he is also on the verge of recruiting Manchester City's England goalkeeper David James after Pompey agreed a fee of around £1.2million plus add-ons with City boss Stuart Pearce.
Redknapp said: 'Sol's signing is a statement by the club of where we are aiming to go. Sol is part of that. I've known him for years and he is an outstanding player, a great signing.'
Svetoslav Todorov equalised for Pompey against their Portuguese vistors with a 23rd-minute diving header but Noe Pamarot's poor clearance let in Lisandro (12) and a deflection off Linvoy Primus that helped in Marek Cech's 57th-minute winner showed how much Pompey could do with Campbell in defence.

State Sen. Mike Beatty, R-Jefferson, a former Georgia history teacher, promised Monday he'd vote against a flag redesign that has angered and energized constituents across his conservative Northeast Georgia district.
State Sen. Doug Haines, D-Athens, appeared to be leaning toward adopting the new flag, which shrinks the Confederate battle emblem and could end years of controversy.
''I have never had white people cry when they talk about their stance on the issue,'' Haines said Monday.
The positions of the two neighboring senators demonstrate why a vote today in the Senate could be tight as legislators consider whether to change the flag, 45 years after Georgia lawmakers voted to put the St. Andrew's Cross on the state's banner. With his politically mixed district, Haines was holding his own counsel Monday as he faced heavy lobbying on the proposed flag.
''It's a compromise,'' Haines said of Gov. Roy Barnes' flag proposal. ''By definition it means people are not happy on either side.'' Haines' district includes part of Barrow County, along with heavily Democratic Athens-Clarke County and heavily Republican Oconee County.
Opinion in Beatty's 47th District was running 5-1 in opposition to both the redesigned flag and its quick introduction last week to the General Assembly, a tactic Beatty criticized as ''heavy-handed.'' His district includes Banks, Elbert, Franklin, Hart, Jackson and Madison counties.
''Threats and back-room deals will not change my mind,'' Beatty said. ''Georgians of all races have benefited under our current flag more so than any flag we have ever had. I do not believe we need to change it.''
Haines, who campaigned as a candidate amenable to removing the Confederate battle emblem, said opinion in his district is running 3-1 in favor of adopting the new banner. He spent some of his time last weekend explaining to voters that a referendum on the flag is prevented under the state constitution, which puts the issue squarely in the hands of lawmakers who, in Haines' case at least, are eager to move on to other issues.
''We can't give it to voters,'' he said.
According to Haines, prominent supporters of the change include the board of the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce, which released a statement approving Barnes' flag bill as a measure that preserves the state's Confederate heritage and provides a ''comfortable environment in which everyone can do business.''
''We recognize the incredible asset history and culture play in our local economy, and it's reassuring to know that consideration of that is part of the legislative proposal,'' chamber chairman Paul Chambers said, referring to provisions in the bill protecting the sculptures that decorate Stone Mountain and the state's other Confederate monuments.
State Rep. Bob Smith, a Republican from Oconee County who voted against the proposed flag last week, is also contacting state senators, decrying the proposal as ''one of the shadiest deals that has ever been forced on Georgia.''
Senate approval would send the bill to the governor, and his signature would make it law. Democrats control the chamber 32-24, and 29 votes are needed for a majority.
