Automobiles: Porsche 911

If the Porsche 911 had lasted only a few years, it would still be one of the most remarkable cars ever built. That it remains a bestseller after more than 30 years makes this rear-engined speed demon a true automotive legend.From Nazi Germany to the streets of Hollywood, this is the complete story of the 911. Trace its origins back to the humble VW Beetle, designed by Ferdinand Porsche before he set out to form his own company. See how the first 911 was designed by Porsche’s son Ferry, who wanted a sports car “with space for a set of golf clubs.” Meet the men who continue to refine this evergreen classic, keeping it at the forefront of the world’s high-performance autos, and take to the test track to see just what these German wonders can do. And a remarkable parade of older 911s show how the legend has evolved over the years.

Me and my Prius
Guardian Unlimited - The Prius replaced our old Audi A4 and is smooth, quiet and relaxing to drive - the best driving experience I’ve had. The seats are comfortable, it’s surprisingly spacious, and things like satnav and the camera for reversing are an added bonus.

Tenakh-Talk-1-11-08
BoExodus 10:1-13:16The last three of the Ten Plagues are visited on Egypt: a swarm of locusts devours all the crops and greenery; a thick, palpable darkness envelops the land; and all the firstborn of Egypt are killed at the stroke of midnight of the 15th of the month of Nissan.G-d commands the first mitzvah to be given to the people of Israel: to establish a calendar based on the monthly rebirth of the moon. The Israelites are also instructed to bring a “Passover offering” to G-d: a lamb or kid is to be slaughtered and its blood sprinkled on the doorposts and lintel of every Israelite home, so that G-d should pass over these homes when He comes to kill the Egyptian firstborn. The roasted meat of the offering is to be eaten that night together with matzah (unleavened bread) and bitter herbs.The death of the firstborn finally breaks Pharaoh’s resistance and he literally drives the Children of Israel from his land. So hastily do they depart, there is no time for their dough to rise, and the only provisions they take along are unleavened. Before they go, they ask their Egyptian neighbors for gold, silver and garments, draining Egypt of its wealth.The Children of Israel are commanded to consecrate all firstborn and to observe the anniversary of the Exodus each year by removing all leaven from their possession for seven days, eating matzah, and telling the story of their redemption to their children. They are also commanded to wear tefillin on the arm and head as a reminder of the Exodus and their resultant commitment to G-d.

Ashley Beebe: UGA Safe Kids Athens Buckle Up PR Campaign
Watching students as they work on projects is always fun. Recently, with the advent of Twitter - and students jumping in with fervor - it has become possible to watch their work almost in real-time. Via Twitter, I was able to watch Ashley and Karen Russell - along with many other students - talk about the Safe Kids Athens campaign. So, after looking at the campaign and chatting with the students I thought a podcast was in order. Tween you and me, Ill use this to spur on my students in their projects, too. Ashley and her group did a great job. The campaign:PRSSA Announces Chevrolet’s Safe Kids Buckle Up Program as the 2008 Bateman Case Study Competition Safe Kids Buckle Up was chosen as the 2008 case study because of its unique concentration on childhood safety. “Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death of children ages three to 14,� said Torine Brooks Creppy, director of Safe Kids Buckle Up. The site:Safe Kids Athens Safe Kids Athens Area is one of more than 300 grassroots coalitions in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico that bring together health and safety experts, educators, corporations, foundations, governments and volunteers to educate and protect families. The videos:Virtual Video Showdown Coile Middle School 6th and 7th Graders compete in the Virtual Video Showdown to promote Safe Kids Buckle Up Athens Area and Athens Chevrolet. Produced by University of Georgia PRSSA Media coverage:The Safe Kids Athens Media Room So, thats the background & now the podcast interview with Ashley Beebe. Ashleys great. No worries about her future, I am sure. Listen as she describes the campaign, her group members and their work, the involvement of the students and more. Especially listen for Ashleys post graduation plans. Shes going into the Teach America program. Pretty cool and admirable.

Woods and Mickelson hibernate, Chopra and Stricker take their place. Golf Podcast features winter tips and drills
Click here to listen.While Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson quietly enjoy their respective breaks from the PGA Tour, Daniel Chopra and Steve Stricker shouted out to the golf world that they are contenders for this year’s FedEx Cup.Dangling a new Mercedes-Benz like a carrot on the end of a stick was one good reason that Stricker stroked only eight putts in the final eight holes of the Championship but I’ll bet that Stricker’s long-term goals include dueling it out with the big names and a major win.Chopra’s use of Playstation to get to know the Plantation Course might have helped him manage the fairways but his lackluster performance on the greens almost handed Stricker the victory.This week, Barry and I discuss our own struggles on the driving range. With cold weather hanging over the Northeast, we can only dream of Kapalua and instead must rely on overhead space heaters to keep our swings intact.We offer an easy drill to keep your irons crisp, talk about the all-important pitch shot and discuss how to keep your focus through your shot.Even though Mickelson and Woods are not in aggressive mode, they both constantly think competitively. Tiger has mentioned on his website that he has been “testing some new Nike irons”. Woods makes his 2008 PGA Tour debut at the Buick Invitational (January 24-27) and Mickelson is due to make his first appearance at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic so Chopra better get his putter working!Send your golf questions and comments to golfforbeginners@aol.com.Subscribe to our weekly podcast through this RSS feed:http://feeds.feedburner.com/golfforbeginners or through iTunes.
