Dear Emilie,
Is the nation’s economy putting less money in your pocket and more working hours in your day? That seems to be the case for many Americans today; however during this difficult economic situation, some Cache Valley residents remain optimistic that they can attain financial independence. The Cache Valley Area Investors Association is actively educating people on how to manage their passive income, making it possible for the average American to have more independence in their financial affairs.
It is very common for people to get stuck in a job that is not particularly enjoyable to them. By learning how to make smart investments, more people will have the ability to work in a field they enjoy and not be stuck in a job because of financial obligations.
I urge you to consider this issue as a(n) article or story on the CVAIA. I have been following some of your recent articles you have written for the Herald Journal and beleive this would be a great follow up to your recent article about the national bailout package.
The requested series could explore the following themes:
Part I: The problem- Current financial problems/mistakes that many Americans are having and making.
Part II: Financial Risks- The financial consequences of not being informed or educated on money management.
Part III: The Solution- Getting educated and using the CVAIA philosophies to attain financial independence.
I am confident that in this difficult economic time in our country that our goals and philosophies will be of benefit to those who would read your article/story. Now is the time for this kind of an article.
Please contact Jason Rogers at 435-778-4321 to discuss the proposed article/story. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

CACHE VALLEY LOCAL RETURNS HOME TO PLAY BALL FOR THE AGGIES
Former Sky View Bobcat ‘excited’ to play in hometown.
LOGAN, Utah— Former Sky View basketball standout Clint Lee is expected to make an impact playing forward for the Aggies this season. Lee transferred to Utah State University last season after playing one season at the college of Eastern Utah.
Lee graduated from Sky View High School in 2003 after earning first team All-Region honors and second team All-State that year. He was recruited by the University of Utah and red-shirted one year under hall of fame coach Rick Majerus. After his red-shirt year at Utah he was called to serve a two year LDS mission in June of 2004 and returned to the hardwood for Eastern Utah for the 06-07 season. Lee is anxious to get back on the court after suffering an injury that kept him out all of last season.
“I’m so excited to be back in my home town. Playing here is like a dream come true,” Lee said. “I’ve waited for this for a long time and it’s an honor to be a part of such a successful program.”
Lee is expected to battle for some solid playing time at forward alongside sophomores Pooh Williams and Matt Formisano. He has two years of eligibility left making him a junior on the roster. He will be a part of an Aggie team that has a home record of 142–12 under current head coach Stew Morrill. The Aggies will be looking to capture the Western Athletic Conference Championship this year that would qualify them for the NCAA tournament.

Letter to Cousin
Dear Michelle,
As you know I am Studying Public Relations at Utah State and Plan to graduate in the spring. When I was visiting in San Diego this last summer you asked me what exactly a public relations person does. Well, to answer your question, we do a lot of things. Our main focus is to be the mediator between the public and a company or organization. There is a lot of writing involved in this field and is commonly known for writing press releases, business letters, and informing the media about upcoming news.
There are many different avenues you can take in Public Relations. Basically every company or organization will have PR representatives. For example, Andrea, my sister in-law, works for San Diego State University’s Media Relations department. One of her many jobs in PR is to inform the media about news concerning SDSU athletics. You can also work for the non-profit sector, professional or collegiate sports teams, universities, large corporations, or even small companies.
There can be a lot of research in your job as a PR Professional. There are firms created just for PR representatives that many companies hire. These PR firms research and campaign for a change to help improve each company that hires them.
I know you like to write and are very good with people. I think that you should consider this major at SDSU because it has been very beneficial to me. Even if I don’t end up getting a job in PR I will use the skills I have gained from PR in my future career. Have a great school year!
Your Cousin,
Jason Rogers

Assignment #2: Air Jordan XX3
Step One:
Jordan Brand Launches Air Jordan XX3: Celebrating 23 Years of a Legacy.
http://www.nikebiz.com/media/pr/2008/01/08_Jordan23.html
Step Two:
Michael Jordan has just released the 23rd edition of the shoe that helped make him an international icon. Nike wrote a press release about the shoe on January 8, 2008 and it was just a day later that Vibe.com wrote an article about the new release of the legendary shoe.
The Vibe article, Air Jordan 23 by Linda Hobbs, spoke of the street credibility that the shoe gave each individual. It recalls of days when my generation would have a fresh pair of Jordans on at school and put them in the box at the end of the day to keep them nice and clean. According to the article the Jordan shoe has become classic; so classic as to compare it to the wearing of a fitted New York baseball cap. The article continues its praise of the shoe by announcing the Jordan xx3’s design ethos which uses only eco friendly materials. His Airness himself, Michael Jordan said, “The AIR JORDAN XX3 is deeply meaningful to me, as a celebration of both my life and career, The number 23 is obviously of great significance to me and the release of the XX3 is a pinnacle moment in the Brand’s history. I’m honored and humbled by the AIR JORDAN franchise’s loyal following after all these years. The release of this shoe is exciting and a dream come true for me.”
This article was very positive and gave the Jordan brand positive press through this article. They chose to focus on the feelings and emotions that go with buying and owning a pair of Jordans and recalled the emotions of what it was like wearing a pair of these shoes as a kid. They mentioned the eco friendly approach that Nike is now promoting, which really connects with our “global warming” society today. The Jordan brand should be very pleased with the release of this news story because it was most likely read by those people interested in the shoe. Vibe magazine is an entertainment magazine geared towards young people who enjoy hip-hop, sports, Hollywood, and fashion. Concluding the article, the author praised Michael Jordan by writing, “Jordan comes from a long line of athletes who have launched successful and unsuccessful kicks, but many are called— few are chosen.”
Jordan Brand Celebrates 23 Historic Years of AIR JORDAN Franchise in the ''Big Easy''
This article was written on February 16, 2008 during the NBA’s ALL-Star weekend. Jordan Brand had a special party to celebrate the release of the Jordan XX3 basketball shoe. The party included celebrities such as Gabrielle Union and Chris Tucker along with current and legendary basketball players such as, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Rip Hamilton, Ray Allen, Joe Johnson, Kevin Durant, and Magic Johnson. Michael Jordan took advantage of the occasion to celebrate this milestone in his career, which made this the most coveted party of All-Star weekend. Music and African dancing entertained the crowed as Jazz hits were mixed with new age beats by a live DJ.
This article was very positive and gave the new Jordan XX3 great promotion for its release. Since the article, the shoe has been released and is retailing for about $200. The article called the Air Jordans “the greatest basketball shoe ever,” which is believed by many basketball players and shoe enthusiast. This was a very timely release for the new shoe which made it possible for Carmelo Anthony, a member of Team Jordan, to don the Jordan XX3 during the All-Star game. There was nothing but great press for the Jordan Brand well as the release of the JordanXX3.
Step 3:
I thought that this was a very good project. I learned a lot about press releases and the effect that they can have, both negative and positive. I first had the intention of looking up a press release from a company I have worked closely with recently as an intern. I did find a couple recent press releases, but did not find any articles that were influenced by the press release. I then chose a larger company, Sprint Nextel, but non of their press releases were very interesting and it seemed as though they were writing press releases for everything that went on with the company. It was not uncommon to find a few press releases from Sprint Nextel each day. I realized that if too many press releases are done at one time then it’s more unlikely that a story be written about it. It’s kind of like the boy who cried wolf. He cried wolf so many times that when there really was a wolf no one believed him. The same goes with news. No one will look your way if everyday you cry “News! News!” Finally I remembered that Michael Jordan had just come out with his new shoe and was curious how many stories were produced from the press release.
I went to Nike.com and went to their press release section. I immediately found what I was looking for. There was a list of press release, including the one I was looking for. The title of the press release is, Jordan Brand Launches Air JordanXX3: Celebrating 23 Years of a Legacy. After I read the press release, I looked for articles inspired by the release on google. I found a list of articles including one by Vibe.com, an online version of their magazine. To my surprise, the Vibe article was written and posted a day after the press release. The article was clearly relevant to the press release. Quotes from the release were used in the article, which praised the Jordan Brand for its success in making a legendary basketball shoe.
The second article I read was about a month after the press release, but clearly used information from the press release in the article. This article however, added another element to the release of the Jordan XX3. The reason for the delay in publishing this article was because the writer wanted to include the party at All-Star weekend in the announcement of the new shoe. This was a very good way of using the information in the press release and holding onto it until it could become an even bigger story. Unlike the Vibe article, this article included visual descriptions of the event and the excitement at the party concerning the release of the Jordan XX3.
By the end of the assignment I was able to more fully understand the effectiveness of a press release and the strategies behind writing one. I was able to see how quotes were used and the importance of them being effective and believable. This press release was very good and sparked a lot of interest which will help the Jordan XX3 be successful as its predecessors have been.

Intro to PR #1
When I graduate, I hope to return to my home town of San Diego and work with a company called Strategic Vision. Strategic Vision is a advertising research company that has proved its success in the automotive industry. I am currently working as an intern with the company and am aware of their future plans to expand the company. I know that I can help Strategic Vision use the same principles they used in the automotive industry and apply it to other industries around the world. I am fluent in Spanish and am half Latino with roots coming from El Salvador. Many of the syndicated surveys that they have produced and used in the automotive industry in the U.S are only in English. I can Translate those surveys for them into Spanish so they can broaden their consumer reach and expand across the Latin American boarders. I would eventually like to be the Public Relations Representative for Strategic Vision’s Latin American department. By first using the Spanish version of the surveys in the United States, they can see how successful it could be across South America. By hiring me I can translate the surveys and present them to Latin American industries which would expand Strategic Vision’s company immensely. Strategic Vision is a multi million dollar company that could easily be a billion dollar company by expanding its production into Latin America.
I feel that I could make a contribution to any organization who is willing and ready to take their market to Latin America. Any U.S based company or organization with a vision of spreading their market across all American boarders will only strengthen its reputation and increase its worth. However, the ideas of expansion must be implemented here in the U.S to insure quality marketing before it is expanded. Establishing a relationship with Latin American Consumers could easily be done by hiring bilingual PR representatives who understand the culture of the consumers and the objectives of the organization. Hiring bilingual Public Relations specialists like myself will only broaden consumer loyalty, expand marketing and production, and increase the value of an organization.
According to the U.S Department of Labor, “Public relations specialists held about 243,000 jobs in 2006. They are concentrated in service-providing industries such as advertising and related services; health care and social assistance; educational services; and government.” The job market is very competitive in the PR field and will only continue to grow because of the increase of entry level positions being filled by college graduates. A bachelor’s Degree in Public Relations including an internship is recommended before applying for a position in public relations with any organization. However, a job candidate with all of those credentials including experience with another culture who is bilingual is something that any aspiring organization should want. How many of the 243,000 PR specialists in 2006 were bilingual? How many of those 243,000 influenced the Latin American market in that year? The United States is now home to some 42,688,000 Latinos which is now the second largest population by race in the U.S after white Americans (infoplease.com). With a growing population of Latinos in the U.S it is essential for any organization to begin hiring bilingual PR specialists who in time can expand the Latin market to Central and South America.
Output Goals:
1. I will call Strategic Vision directly and invite them to look at the ideas I’ve written.
2. I will offer to translate anything they need into Spanish so they can reach the Latin community.
3. I will offer to show them the research I have done on my own time that could help them in the future and greatly benefit their company.
Impact Goals:
1. Strategic Vision will evaluate the ideas I gave them and offer me a job when I graduate.
2. We will open the Latin market in syndicated research study and move our success to Latin America.
3. Strategic Vision will become a billion dollar company well known around north and south America.
Talking points:
1. I’m Bilingual
2. I set and achieve my goals.
3. I’m personable and trustworthy.

Netiquette
The Internet has created a new culture and way of life. Chat rooms, online dating, business and social networking along blogging have created a culture outside of the world around us. I remember when AOL came out with the instant messenger and everyone in middle school had an account. I remember many times how people were so cruel online and would say things they normally wouldn't say face to face. Maybe it was just our maturity level, but I think that as times has gone on that we've come to understand the cyber culture that we all helped create. We must remember that speaking to someone online doesn't excuse foul language or remarks. All of the etiquettes that we use in everyday life should also apply to the internet. It's not rocket science, but sometimes we need to be reminded that there are others looking at what we say online. I just created a new myspace account and was very surprised to have received a nasty invitation to view some inappropriate pictures. I understand that the web has everything that the real world has, but it makes me upset how much easier it is for the wrong people to contact and offend you. The internet is a great tool that we must use wisely and with proper etiquette.
Email Etiquette
Understanding the etiquette of writing and responding to an email in this day and age is very important.Email is one of the fastest and most convenient ways of communicating, especially in the business world. I don't know how a company would survive if it doesn't apply the simple etiquettes of writing emails. I'm actually doing an internship with a company in San Diego and our entire communication is based on emails. I have found through this online internship that responding to emails in a timely manner and with all of the information needed is very important. There have been times when I've been asked to have an assignment finished an emailed within the next 48 hours. In the business world, there is no time for excuses and mistakes, and email etiquette should be something that everyone should be aware of.

Salt Lake City, UT- The Utah Jazz came out with the victory last night winning 106-99 against the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers last night at Energy Solutions Arena. After coming off of a devastating loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, where All Star Kobe Bryant blocked what would have been the game winning shot. Forward, Andrei Kirilenko took that to heart and contributed a record setting 21 blocks to last night's victory. Many of his blocks came while guarding LeBron James.
“He moves fast,” Kirilenko said about Lebron, “ Luckily I had a lot of energy in this game.” Energy must have been what gave AK-47 his 21 blocks combined with 21 points on the night.
Jazz Head Coach Jerry Sloan still feels that there is room for improvement. “Andrie had a great game. Some of our other guys have to step it up.” There were 8 ties throughout the game, however the Jazz never trailed once. Paul Millsap contributed with 12 points, C.J Miles had 15 points, and Boozer added 29 points to the scoreboard while pulling down 7 rebounds.
LeBron had 28 points of his own and said this after the game. “The crowd in Utah is one of the loudest. The crowd took us out of the game more than anything. We just couldn't close it out at the end.” When asked about Kirilenko's Performance he added, “He deserves to be an All-Star ... I left myself open and payed the price."

Google Makes Hostile Take-Over Bid
Palo Alto, CA-Google Inc. (GOOG) made a hostile take-over bid for Time Warner Inc. (TWX) yesterday in hopes of producing more content. The $60 billion bid comes to Time Warner as a surprise to Richard Parsons, CEO of Time Warner Cable. “This was out of the blue. This was not expected at all.” Google has proposed a very generous offer to buy Time Warner and has released the breakdown of the proposal at $10 billion in cash, $45 billion in stocks and $5 billion in assumed debt.
According to Dr. Eric Schmidt, CEO and Chairman of Google Inc, “We've actually overpriced the Value in our stock.” When asked how this will help Google in the future, he responded by saying, “We don't have a top notch facility to produce content, Time Warner does,” which shows evidence of Google's desire to expand from a content contributer to a producer as well. While being one of the most hit websites online, Google would increase its influence in the information world by not only contributing to content through its search engine, but would become a main source in producing information as well.
Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) were also interested in purchasing Time Warner, but Yahoo CEO, Steve Baller and Microsoft CEO, Jerry Yang, offered no comment on the issue. The Federal Communications Commision would still have to approve such a huge buy out before business decisons are final. However, Industry Analyst Paul Kim believes that the merg "seems to make sense."
