BEIRUT (AP) ? Syrian rebels spirited a British photographer who had been trapped in the opposition stronghold of Homs out of the country Tuesday after he was trapped for days under fierce government shelling that killed 13 of those trying to save him, an activist group said.

The global activist group Avaaz said it helped smuggle British photographer Paul Conroy across the border into neighboring Lebanon.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, meanwhile, retracted his statement that French journalist Edith Bouvier also had been safely evacuated to Lebanon.

He said Tuesday that he had been "imprecise" earlier in the day due to the complexities of the situation and that "It is not confirmed that Madame Bouvier is today safe in Lebanon."

The two were injured last week in a government rocket attack on the rebel-controlled neighborhood of Baba Amr in central Homs. Two other Western journalists, American Marie Colvin and French photographer Remi Ochlik, were killed in the same attack. Their bodies and two other uninjured foreign reporters, Frenchman William Daniels and Spaniard Javier Espinosa, may still be in Homs.

Their harrowing ordeal cast a light on the horrors of life under siege in Homs, a stronghold for government opponents waging an uprising against President Bashar Assad's authoritarian rule. Hundreds have been killed in more than three weeks of relentless shelling of the city, many dying when they ventured out to forage for food as a humanitarian crisis grew more dire by the day.

A top U.N. official released a new death toll for the 11-month-old uprising, saying well over 7,500 people have been killed and the conflict looked increasingly like civil war. Activist groups said Monday that the death toll had surpassed 8,000.

Just days after Western and Arab nations met in Tunisia to forge a strategy on how to push Assad from power, Tunisia's president Moncef Marzouki said Tuesday he was ready to offer asylum to the Syrian leader as part of a negotiated solution to the conflict. However the chances of Assad accepting such an offer are close to nil.

The U.N. human rights chief said the situation in Syria has deteriorated rapidly in recent weeks and demanded an immediate humanitarian cease-fire.

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said her office has received reports that Syrian military and security forces "have launched massive campaigns of arrest" and launched an onslaught against government opponents that has deprived many civilians of food, water and medical supplies. Pillay told an urgent meeting of the U.N. Human Rights Council that "hundreds of people have reportedly been killed since the start of this latest assault in the beginning of February 2012."

She called on Syria to end all fighting, allow international monitors to enter the country and give unhindered access to aid agencies.

Despite international pressure that mounts every day, the regime kept up its fierce bombardment of the central region. Activists reported overnight the deaths of 144 more people in unrest across the country ? scores of them in Baba Amr by security forces as they tried to flee.

They said at least 16 were killed in shelling of that and other Homs neighborhoods Tuesday.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said shelling of the central town of Halfaya also killed at least four civilians and wounded dozens, many seriously. The Syrian opposition group Local Coordination Committees said many more people had been killed in both places, putting the nationwide death toll at 92.

Both groups said Baba Amr was under intense shelling. The LCC said 50 people were killed in Homs and 27 in the province of Hama.

The Observatory said armed rebels known as the Free Syrian Army killed five soldiers in overnight clashes in the southern town of Dael. The LCC said the FSA struck an army convoy with a roadside bomb in Tafas, causing "multiple casualties."

The LCC and Avaaz said Conroy was smuggled over the border to Lebanon. Rima Fleihan, an LCC spokeswoman, said the Sunday Times photographer was smuggled out by Syrian army defectors.

Avaaz, which said it organized the evacuation with local Syrian activists, said 35 Syrians volunteered to help get the journalists out and bring aid in. Of those, 13 were killed. Avaaz said three were killed in government shelling while trying to help Conroy through the neighborhood and 10 others were killed trying to bring in aid while Conroy was on his way out on Sunday evening. It gave no information on Conroy's journey Monday to cross the Lebanese border on Tuesday.

It said the remaining foreign journalists who had been stuck in the area with Conroy "remain unaccounted for."

Before the mistaken announcement that Bouvier was out, the LCC said other Western journalists were negotiating with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent to be allowed to leave Syria without having their videos and photos confiscated by authorities. Local activists accuse the group of collaborating with the Syrian government.

All the journalists killed and wounded in Homs were smuggled into Syria from Lebanon illegally.

"I have spoken to Paul this morning and he sounded in good spirits," Conroy's wife Kate Conroy said in a statement Monday. "The family are overjoyed and relieved that he is safe and look forward to getting him home."

She told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that she wouldn't comment further for fear of jeopardizing the safety of those still attempting to leave.

Conroy is 47 and a father of three.

Activists posted videos of Conroy and Bouvier last week, pleading for help getting out.

The French reporter Daniels was last seen in an amateur video posted by activists last week, standing next to Bouvier, who was lying on a couch. He appeared uninjured. Bouvier works for Le Figaro.

Espinosa, who works for El Mundo, has been occasionally tweeting. His last tweet, sent Sunday, linked to a photo he said was from the Baba Amr neighborhood of blood pooled in a gutter.

Also believed to still be in Baba Amr are the bodies of Colvin and Ochlik, who were killed in the same attack that wounded Bouvier and Conroy.

Spain's Foreign Ministry said it is trying to help to evacuate Espinosa. The newspaper said it does not know if he is injured and last spoke to him Monday.

In Beirut, a British embassy official told The AP that London is working to repatriate Conroy.

Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague said Conroy was "safely in Lebanon, where he is receiving full consular assistance."

In a message on his Twitter account, Britain's ambassador to Lebanon, Tom Fletcher, said embassy staff were looking after Conroy who was "doing well." In a statement, The Sunday Times said he was "in good shape and good spirits."

Fletcher said Conroy's experience was "a chilling testimony to what families in Homs (are) experiencing."

Thoughts from Thomas T. Thomas: Literature as Immortality

?Writing,? as a friend of mine wrote recently,¹ ?is a beggarly business.?

The impression of most people among the unthinking public is that many writers can support themselves with their writing and often do so very handsomely. This may be true of some nonfiction writers who have acquired expertise in an area of general public interest (e.g., political affairs, diet and weight loss, home improvement, business success), are skilled at marketing, and supplement their book and article sales with speaking engagements, videos and podcasts, T-shirts and ball caps, and other collateral. But for the fiction writer, regardless of genre, the reality is less rosy. Except for a handful who are exceptionally talented and exceptionally lucky, are still good at marketing, and write novels that happen to tease the zeitgeist, most writers see only modest sales and never quit their day jobs.

So why do we do it? If it?s not the money, is it for recognition? But, in this business, there?s not much fame where there is no hope of fortune. Then what drives us to devote our free time, which most normal people spend with family, friends, and hobbies, to sitting hunched over a keyboard, reeling out lines of prose, agonizing over it, polishing it, and walking the gauntlet of rejection to see it published?

For some of us, it?s just an itch. Our brains?my brain, at least?are structured so that we live through tinkering with language. We have a thought and immediately put it into a formula of words, then pause, repeat it to ourselves, change a word here and there for better fit, repeat the whole thing again, fix another phrase ? continuing until it works with neat economy and subtle elegance. We walk through life hammering out epigrams, soliloquies, and declamations.² We visit a new city or historic site and immediately think how to encapsulate and phrase it as background for a scene. We read an unusual name and savor it for a new character. And this is just when we have no book in hand.

When we do have a book on the front burner, it nags us like a spoiled child. The story wants to get out. The characters live as shadows to our everyday thoughts. Bits of action, bits of dialogue float up at the most inopportune times and demand to be written down. And after a day?s writing task, words come back to haunt us: the awkward word in a passage that needs to be fixed, the appropriate word that springs up to fix it. Writing a novel is like living a second, fantasy life in parallel with the mundane lives that everyone else leads. The itch.

But aside from this mental condition, which borders on a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder, why do we do it? We could tell ourselves that the book isn?t going to be marketable, that there?s no future in the effort it will require, and that with sufficient self-control we can go out and have a life. We can put soothing lotion on the itch instead of scratching it. ? So why don?t we?

Because, deep down, each one of us wants to be immortal. Even if the novel we?re working on isn?t likely to be marketable in this economy at this time, we have faith in its power to someday find readers. Deep down, we believe we?re really pretty good at this writing thing. It?s not exactly vanity, not the ?me, me, see me? that may afflict a popular singer or leading actor. It?s not our persons who will be celebrated long after we?re dead and buried, but the story that we?ve loved, worked to shape as something separate from us, breathed life into, and brought to the world.³

When the world that faces you every day seems cold and indifferent, when the rejection letters pile up, when friends and family start shaking their heads, we retreat into another fantasy: that we are a Cervantes or Shakespeare in hiding. Posterity will seek us out and celebrate us. Okay, it?s a dream. But it has a kernel of truth.

What, in this world, really lasts? A month after we?re dead, our medals and trophies may end up on EBay. A bronze plaque in our honor will be stolen for scrap value. Our names cut an inch deep on a granite slab will weather away in a few hundred years. Even the Pyramids are crumbling grain by grain.

Good works seldom outlast the memory of friends. Children grow up, go their own ways, and stop telling stories about mothers and fathers, let alone their grandparents. Memories of great-grandparents disappear entirely.

Even works of art eventually disappear. Statues are defaced and buried. Paint fades while canvas rots. Book paper disintegrates with time or burns at the whim of politics and religion.

Stories abide and live on?not in the printer?s impression or the pen strokes, but in the essence, the tale, the character in action, the fascination we all have with people who live only in our imaginations. The stories told by Homer, Sophocles, Virgil, Chaucer, Cervantes, Shakespeare?we remember them even though the original manuscripts have long since turned to dust. And now there is hope that digital bits, simply because they are so portable and copyable, will kick around on hard drives and bubble memories and storage systems yet undreamed for at least as long and perhaps longer.

The work of philosophers goes in and out of fashion, becoming a subject for academics to study more than for the average reader to enjoy. Who really expects to read Aristotle to understand natural history or Plato to understand ethics? We read them as background, as part of our cultural history. We read them to understand the evolution of our society. We read them because to be ignorant of them would be shameful. But we don?t?or most of us don?t?read them with the excitement of discovery, with delight at the intellectual secrets they reveal.

The work of earlier historians and scientists is not read as revelation so much as source material. Their observations and conclusions become picked over, compared, annotated, and adjusted by later scholars. History is a moving target, and every age creates its own image of the past according to the dictates of culture. Again, the average person might read Suetonius or Gibbon, Galileo or Pepys because they had first-hand knowledge and because to be ignorant of them would be shameful. But we moderns always check their reporting against other, perhaps conflicting, perhaps better situated sources.

Stories simply live on, and a young person can pick up and read Homer?s tales with as much enthusiasm as any reader of the last 2,700 years. The text may go through multiple translations, but unlike the surgical work of historical scholars, the work of translators is an act of love, trying to give the story new life in a faithful rendition in a new language. Think of Robert Fagles?s excellent translations of The Iliad and The Odyssey: Fagles stands back, and Homer speaks clearly in the best modern English.

Stories are the only things that last. And that?s why we writers spend so much time on them. Not because of the money, but because of the magic. The story may sit on a bookshelf in the living room unread for twenty, thirty, perhaps a hundred years. Then, one day, a child will wander in and pull the book down, open it, and fall in love. The story will be just as alive and vital as the day it was written.⁴

This ability to speak across time, to become a real time traveler, is part of the fascination. We know that our own books may be languishing as paperbacks slowly turning brown on the bottom shelf at the used bookstore, or dawdling along as the 2,304,558th most popular seller on Amazon.com. But they?re not dead yet. The magic might still happen.

That thought is probably silly. It?s probably just a sad fantasy. But it?s a stronger grasp on immortality than most people will get.

1. Kate Campbell, who blogs at Kate Campbell?s Word Garden, in an email during our editing of her debut novel Adrift in the Sound. Our email collection will soon be published as a Kindle Single titled ?Between the Sheets: An Intimate Exchange About Writing, Editing, and Publishing.?

2. Yes, you?re reading one right now.

3. And really, it?s the same for the best of the singers and actors. They want to fade into the background and let the song or the performance stand as a piece of art. But it?s easier for them to be dazzled by the bright lights.

4. That?s how I discovered much of the fiction of the 1930s and ?40s, by trying the books in my father?s den?almost always without first asking for a recommendation.

Video: No need to ?curtail free speech?

Retired U.S. Army Colonel Jack Jacobs, a recipient of the Medal of Honor, weighs in on the Stolen Valor Act.

>> we get to put this question to an actual recipient of the medal of honor . our military analyst retired army colonel jack jacobs . i know there are 83 recipients alive. does it not diminish the medal placed around your neck by president nixon when anybody can claim to have the same medal?

>> lying about receiving an award for valor is certainly pathetic, to say the least. there is a certain amount of honor that comes with any award for valor, but i don't think either the medal or a recipient is so fragile that we have to curtail free speech , which is a linchpin of our democracy, we have to curtail free speech in order to protect either the award or the individual receiving it.

>> an interesting view of this from a recipient. jack, colonel jacobs, thank you.

What Causes Diabetes? ? Factors That Can Increase the Chances ...

New Health And Fitness.Org - Health Information You Can Use

Thousands of instances of diabetes mellitus have emerged yearly. In fact, many physicians have become concerned about the number of patients that they observe visiting their clinics. Endocrinologists worldwide understand diabetes as a demanding health-care concern as years go by. For that reason, a number of people are wondering about what causes diabetes. Many people once thought that diabetes is something that you get from either your mother or father or from any of your loved ones. But based upon recent researches, there are many risk elements which could put you at risk. And most of these aspects are related to inactive types of lives.

To help you understand history of diabetes, here are some of the top risks.

1. Genes ? In case you are part of a family of diabetics, your probability of getting the said metabolic disorder is significant. Based on health-care experts, diabetes mellitus is genetic. Based on their research, patients with one diabetic parent have higher threats as opposed to others whose parents are non-diabetic. When your father or mother has it or if it runs within the family, you need to make sure that you carry out the essential lifestyle change to prevent the progress of diabetes.

2. Vices ? Physicians believe that addictions such as extreme alcohol drinking as well as cigarette smoking can add up to your possibilities to become a diabetic person. Aside from getting diabetes, you also become prone to other medical conditions which include heart diseases, visual impairment and kidney complications.

3. Obesity ? People who find themselves a bit obese are more susceptible to get diabetes as the illness is directly linked with the history of type-2 diabetes. Given that, those who are already beyond their normal recommended weight ought to consider the required measures to cut down their excess fat and prevent other health problems.

If you are not certain what causes diabetes within your system, have yourself examined by your physician. One of these elements might be the culprit.

Know the several aspects that can affect a person?s chances of getting diabetes. Understand how vital the history of diabetes is.

Australian carrier Telstra gets the Motorola Xoom 2

Australian carrier Telstra will get the Motorola Xoom 2 -- aka the Droid XYBOARD on Verizon here in the States. Nothing has changed, really, from the version we reviewed earlier this year. Same 10.1-inch display, same 1.2GHz processor, with 32GB of storage. Pricing variers depending on the data plan, which starts at $29 a month for 1GB and hits $89 a month for 15GB of data. (Those are Australian dollars, which in addition to sounding cooler than dollars here in the U.S. are also worth slightly more. That's some expensive data.)

Oh, and this guy's still running Android 3.2 Honeycomb. Not surprising, but it's about time we see devices shipping with Ice Cream Sandwich, boys and girls.

Why You Should Forget About Fsbo | The Financial Market Watch ...

What is the number one FSBO tip? You should never sell it yourself! When it comes to FSBO, or for sale by owner, it can sell fast and for as much as it would have if listed with a real estate agent. Sometimes ? but not normally. Here are ten tips you should consider.

Buyers work with agents. Most look at MLS listings. Selling it yourself would mean that they won?t see or hear about your home. How do you find that ?right? buyer or get top dollar when you?re invisible to most of the market?

Your FSBO will get lower offers. Because you are saving the commission, it is natural for the buyer to think that you?ll take less. If you save $10,000 commission and get $10,000 less, then where is the advantage in that?

Advertising is expensive. The costs the real estate office normally pays are yours if you sell it yourself. If it takes a year to sell, then how much could you spend on ads? What they have are resources. The bad news is that you don?t. Agents have books of sold properties to look at, for example, to determine the best price for your home. What you can do is dig through county records but you do have to value your time too, right?

They are familiar with the market. What exactly is the target market for your house? Is it for young couples or retirees? What are the features that they want? Before you write your ads, you should know these things first. An experienced real estate salesperson will know.

They also know the laws. Who pays for the real estate transfer tax and what exactly are written disclosures? When you sell it yourself you don?t get to ignore the laws.

Perhaps you consider yourself a good salesperson. Can you develop rapport and properly answer objections? Perhaps your defensiveness can scare off a buyer who criticizes your home. Think back on your own purchases, and you?ll realize that a good salesperson makes a difference.

When it comes to paperwork. Will you help the buyer properly fill out an offer to purchase? An agent would. What about the other closing documents, do you have them ready?

Agents will do the negotiations for you. Do you remember the last time you learned a new negotiating technique? Can you counter-offer without scaring off a buyer? A good salesperson is trained in these skills.

It is likely that you may not save anything. The documents, newspaper advertising, signs for the yard ? it?s all your expense when you sell it yourself. After your hard work, you may get low offers and negotiate poorly. In fact, when sellers try to save commission, then they would often net less money from the sale.

Most ?FSBO? sellers eventually turn to a real estate agent for help.

A brick dilemma: How to put a cap on spalling problem | Seattle WA ...

Q: You have written about spalling or flaking bricks and why they?re that way.

You said a cap of stone, wood or metal is needed to keep rain and snow out. Would you please explain what kind of cap you?re talking about? This is happening to the brick on the north side of my house in Texas.

A: Most all bricks will store water when exposed to rain or snowmelt. During the drying process, the stored water travels to the surface of the brick, and when the weather turns to freezing the stored water turns to ice, which expands and damages the face of the bricks.

This appears more often on bricks above grade on chimneys and retaining walls, but brick walks and patios with poor drainage can also be damaged by ?spalling.?

To prevent water damage to the brick surface and to the mortar joints of vertical walls or chimneys, a cap of precast concrete, limestone slabs, terra-cotta tiles or fabricated aluminum is often used much like an umbrella to protect the bricks below. The roof of a home helps protect the exterior bricks from the weather, but a wall capped with bricks will have multiple joints exposed to water entry.

Caps of stone, concrete or tile will also have joints along the top of the wall that will have to be maintained annually to prevent spalling.

The caps made of stone, concrete or tile should also have an overhang on each side of the wall to form a drip ledge to prevent water from cascading down the face of the brick. Aluminum can be formed to any shape needed to force water away from the brick?s surface; however, certain metals can leave a stain on the bricks that would require additional maintenance.

Brick is a durable and architecturally pleasing product, but it must be installed properly and receive, at a minimum, an annual inspection for defects in the mortar joints and surface finish.

ISLAMABAD (AP) ? Pakistan told Afghanistan on Friday it was "preposterous" to think Islamabad could deliver the Taliban's leader to the negotiating table and warned the neighboring nation against "ridiculous" expectations about peace talks.

The public comments by Pakistan's Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar were an unusually harsh upbraiding for the diplomatic world, where such quarrels usually play out behind closed doors. They reflected Pakistan's anger at repeated allegations by Afghanistan and the U.S. that it is harboring the Taliban's leadership on its territory.

Khar spoke following talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan in Islamabad that were supposed to identify specific steps Pakistan would take to facilitate peace negotiations, but ended in apparent acrimony.

It was a serious setback for a peace process that the United States is strongly promoting as a way to end the decade-old Afghan conflict and allow it to withdraw most of its combat troops by 2014 without the country further descending into chaos.

The foreign minister said Pakistan supports an Afghan-led peace process but cautioned against Kabul expecting too much in terms of Islamabad's ability to provide them access to the Taliban's leaders.

"If you have unrealistic, almost ridiculous expectations, then you don't have common ground to begin with," said Khar.

Pakistan is seen as key to the process because much of the Taliban leadership, including chief Mullah Omar, is believed to be based in the country, and the government has historical ties with the group. Analysts say Pakistan can either help the talks or act as a spoiler.

But Islamabad has always denied Taliban leaders are using its territory and rejected allegations that the Pakistani government has maintained its links to the group, frustrating Afghan and American officials who say Pakistan is not aggressively going after the terror group.

It's unclear whether Karzai asked Pakistan for help getting to Omar during his current visit to Islamabad, and he made no public mention of the cleric. But he has called on Pakistan to facilitate contact with Omar and other Taliban leaders in the past.

The presidents of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran held a three-way summit in Islamabad over the past two days that focused on Taliban peace talks and other regional issues. Pakistan and Afghanistan also held bilateral meetings on the side of the summit, which ended Friday.

The Pakistani foreign minister indicated her government was still uncertain on exactly what role Afghanistan wanted Islamabad to play in the peace negotiations, saying "they have not conveyed that clarity to us."

In the past, Afghan officials have said they want Islamabad to offer tangible assistance, such as giving Taliban representatives safe passage to meeting sites outside of Pakistan. Afghan officials have also said that they want Islamabad to grant access to Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, a top-ranking Taliban official who was captured in Pakistan in 2010. His arrest reportedly angered Karzai because Baradar had been in secret talks with the Afghan government.

The Afghan president has said he has been seeking Pakistan's help in the peace process for some time, but that so far, it has not provided much more than words of support.

"What we need now is to formulate a policy that is actionable and implementable, and actually act upon it," Karzai said at a press conference Friday featuring Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The Pakistani foreign minister's comments came as she spoke to reporters after the news conference.

Khar said that any expectation that Pakistan can deliver the Taliban's chief for talks is "not only unrealistic, but preposterous."

Asked about reports that the most recent discussions between Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistani officials were confrontational, Khar said, "The talks were very, very useful, and if they are hard, that is fine."

"We need to have some hard talks," she said.

Many analysts believe Pakistan has maintained links with the Taliban because it is seen as a key ally in Afghanistan after foreign forces withdraw, especially in countering the influence of Islamabad's neighbor and archenemy, India. Pakistan helped the Taliban seize power in Afghanistan in the 1990s.

That history has contributed to the tense relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Ties were strained further last year when a suicide bomber assassinated former Afghan President Burhanuddin Rabbani in Kabul. He had been serving as Afghanistan's envoy to Taliban peace talks, and Afghan officials accused Pakistan of playing a role in the killing ? allegations it denied.

There have been some signs that momentum for Taliban peace talks has been growing.

The Taliban are setting up an office in the tiny Gulf state of Qatar in the first step toward formal negotiations. Also, the Obama administration is considering releasing five top Taliban leaders from the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay as a starting point for talks.

But the process has also been riddled with rumor and uncertainty.

Karzai initially resisted the U.S.-backed move by the Taliban to set up a political office in Qatar because he felt the Afghan government had been sidelined and not kept fully apprised of the process of getting an office established. He said he preferred Saudi Arabia, and members of the Afghan government's peace council have said that while the political office might be in Qatar, actual talks could take place in Saudi Arabia or another location.

Tension between Pakistan and the U.S. has also complicated the process, especially following American airstrikes in November that accidentally killed 24 Pakistani troops at two Afghan border posts.

Business marketing course takes learning beyond the classroom ...

Posted on 16 February 2012.

DESIREE TOLI

For most students learning begins and ends in a scheduled timely manner.
It begins the first day of instruction to the last final of the semester. In the hours a student spends in the classroom, the recommended two hours outside the classroom studying a subject to really learn it, are often hard to come by.
The students in Professor Thierry Bruselle?s Business Marketing 55 advertising class have not only dedicated outside classroom time, but have also taken a classroom assignment beyond the requirements.
Business Marketing 55 is a course specialized in the historical, social, and psychological appeal of advertising. The course teaches practical and psychological packaging of trademarks for advertising media, campaign, budgeting, and career trends. Advertising and marketing professor Thierry Bruselle teaches the course once a year.
As an interactive assignment, Professor Bruselle assigns his students to break into groups and strategize innovative marketing ways to promote certain company projects, media, and resolve budgets.
In the past, classes have worked with companies such as General Motors and have fundraised $7,500 for certain budget deficits. For the fall 2011 class, the participating client was the city of Rancho Cucamonga.
The project was to provide situation analysis, advertising objectives, advertising strategy and action plans for several events and special projects for Rancho Cucamonga.
Francie Palmer, CSD marketing manager for the city, and Chaffey?s director of marketing and public relations, Peggy Cartwright, partnered as the student?s clients to whom they would present their work to.
The five groups for the project were chosen by the students the second week of class.
?It was a little difficult because we didn?t really know each other yet,? advertising student, Justin D. Nelson, said.
City project, such as ?Freedom courtyard? a proposed tribute to all veterans construction at Central Park, was assigned to ??a group. They then had to come up with a strategic advertising plan to bring awareness to the city for the project. Though some advertising was already in place for it, the group created innovative ways to raise awareness for the project.
One of the ideas was Good Search, a search engine powered by Yahoo that donates 50% of its search revenue to charities and schools was implemented as a potential advertising campaign to bring awareness of the cause and raise money simultaneously.? Student?s made flyers to raise awareness and utilized the city?s Veterans Day Ceremony to promote the site.
Multiple groups, including ?Team Promo? found other innovative ways to fundraise and bring awareness the group. Bass Pro Shop and the city are currently working in ways to utilize the concept of selling an item that would be sold at 100 percent profit.
The groups worked together on concepts that would create awareness for Freedom Courtyard.
?We had to find a lot of information, and it led us to step outside of the classroom, a lot, there was no room to cut corners. We had to work together,? group member Casey Cranford shared of his experience.
Group projects are usually notorious for conflict and disagreement. ?Fortunately for the five particular groups, group collaboration worked in their favor.
Advertising student, Bret Scroggins found the positive in working in a group,
?With a good team, you can really get a lot accomplished,? Scroggins said.
The final task of the groups was to package and professionally present their advertising strategies to Francie Palmer of the city and director of marketing Peggy Cartwright.
?The caliber of these students was unlike anything I have ever seen,? Cartwright, said.
Impressed with the prestige of work for the projects, the city?s marketing manager Francie Palmer wrote a letter of recommendation for all the participating students.
Palmer stated in the letter, ?Of all the classes I have participated with at Chaffey College, this class has truly proven to be a stellar group of innovative and focused students who have approached their group projects with enthusiasm. It has been a pleasure working with this group of students.?
Other group ideas including a courtyard dodge ball fundraising event, have been taken into consideration, and may be in the works to be implemented by the city.
?Not only did we get the credit, but we also got the experience,? Cristhian Moreno, international business and management major, said.
The hands on experience forced students to get a feel for real-life marketing.
?It made it real. It can be translated into a real career someday,? Moreno said of the project.
Bruselle, a CalPoly graduate is familiar with hands-on classroom experience.
?I want to share with the students, what I learned, learn by doing. Face real problems, and find real solutions,? Bruselle said.
The work of the students impressed the marketing professionals beyond what anyone had expected.
?It made me very proud to see our students work as hard as they did,? Cartwright said.

Whitney Houston back on the charts after her death (AP)

NEW YORK ? Fans are showing their grief over Whitney Houston's death by buying her music. Since her death, her album sales have been boosted by almost 6,000 percent.

Data released late Tuesday by Nielsen SoundScan showed that Houston's album sales for the week ending Sunday ? the day after her death ? were at 101,000. The week earlier, she had sold just 1,700 copies of her albums.

Her "Greatest Hits" album catapulted to the No. 6 position on Billboard's Top 200 albums chart, with about 64,000 copies sold. In the past week, it had sold only 607 copies.

And "I Will Always Love You" sold 195,000 digital tracks. The past week it had sold 3,000, an increase of 6,877 percent.

The 48-year-old Houston was one of music's top-selling artists of all time.
