Dear Emilie:
I thought that you and your readers would be interested to hear about a new association in Cache Valley that is promoting financial independence. The Cache Valley Area Investors Association meets every other Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Cache Chamber of Commerce to educate people about what it takes to become financially independent.
Cache Valley Area Investors Association emphasizes on the advantages of passive income and how it can give people the independence to do what they want to do. They teach techniques on how to become financially independent and also give a list of books to read that will help educate its members about financial independence.
The membership is free and it just takes an email sent to cachevaia@gmail.com to become a member.
Are you available to meet on Friday, Feb. 29 or Monday, March 3 to meet with Preston Parker, president and founder of the company for an interview? Contact me at 801-244-5367 anytime of the day.
Thanks,

Assignment 2
Press Release: Students Lobby for Snowboarding's Adoption as Vermont State Sport
http://www.burton.com/NewsAndEvents/News.aspx
The Burlington Free Press article:
This article talks about some sixth grade students in Vermont pitching the idea of making snowboarding the state sport. The students sat before the Senate Education Committee and proposed their case. They researched and gave great supporting ideas to why snowboarding should be the state sport. However, the students did run up against some counter-testimony. Parker Riehle, president of the Vermont Ski Areas Association, had come ready to propose that skiing and snowboarding should share the title. Overall I felt that the article remained neutral. It gave both sides to the story. I felt that this article did a good job using the press release as a starting point.
http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008802200305
WCAX-TV News article:
This article was a lot shorter than the Burlington Free Press article. This article was very positive. It gave the impression that there was no counter -part to idea of making snowboarding the state sport. It was very short and brief compared to the other article written for the press release. I don’t think that this article used the press release very well. I felt that this article lacked information. I was not impressed with the lack of coverage the story had.
http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=7895439
Analysis:
I decided to research Burton snowboards. I went to their website and they had a section for news. There were several stories that I felt were news worthy. When I searched the different press releases, a lot of snowboarding websites came up as a result. I really wanted a story that was not on a snowboarding website, so I continued to search.
I used LexisNexis a couple of times and didn’t find any articles. I searched google and it gave me more of a variety. I found the process very time consuming, but I was able to do the research and find some articles written about the press release. I felt that the press release was relevant to story written. The story had a testimonial of a professional snowboarder which was very helpful for the article. For the most part I think the driving force to the article was the testimonials of the students.
In this particular press release, I found that the headline is an attention grabber. It used the word students which grabbed my attention. With a lot of the different press releases I found, the company used celebrity names in the sport. However, the angle that the company decided to use was probably not newsworthy.
Overall I enjoyed this assignment. It was good to see what it takes to have a news release actually picked up and written. I feel that I have learned about searching for data and the tools it takes.

Student-Athlete Services: An Unsung Hero
LOGAN, Utah, Feb. 25, 2008--Student athletes accomplish many things and receive a lot of recognition such getting their name in the paper, photographs and awards. A lot of the time people forget the first part of an athlete, which is being a student first. You might ask how the athletes can keep up their grades and be so involved with the community while playing a sport. The answer is the student-athlete services.
Each team has its own academic sports advisor who is there to help each athlete reach graduation. “I feel that as an advisor we impact the lives of our students,” said academic advisor and tutor coordinator Shukria Stewart. “We are the ones they come and vent to, cry to, mentor and uplift.”
Being an athletic advisor is not all that student-athlete services provides. Each advisor has other duties to help the athletes become well rounded. There is an active CHAMPS/ life skills coordinator and tutor coordinator. “ It can be stressful, but like is about challenges,” said Stewart.
The athletes do work hard and get their work done, but who knows where they would be with out the help of their advisors. “ With out their services, I think a lot of athletes would not stay eligible to play,” said women’s soccer member Shannon Ross. “ They really help adjust to being a college athlete.”
The student-athlete services has a strong academic tradition. This tradition includes leading the conference in total number of Academic-All Conference selections 6 out of the past 7 years, including every year since joining the Western Athletics Conference. Utah State Student-Athletes have also led the WAC in Graduation Success Rates since the inception of that graduation metric by the NCAA.

spam, spoof, lag, lurkers/ Google
Before I read the article on spam, spoof, lag and lurkers, I only knew what spam was because I recieve it in my email all the time. But I did not know the other three. I find it interesting, but not too exciting.
Reading the google article was no suprise. I find it annoying that people pull such pranks, but I do understand when using any type of search engine, I need to overlook the site to make sure its credible.
