Gates and Turner saving Africa?
LOGAN, Utah—After witnessing Ted Turner and Bill and Melinda Gates getting off a private jet together in Africa to meet with local African officials, I talked to them about their new philanthropic plans.
It is very odd for Bill and Ted to be working together, due to events in the past where there seems to be a competition on who can donate the best money. This time it’s a little different. Malik Ok, an African Mayor, told us that some of the plans Bill and Ted have are to work with the World Health Organization to educate the people of Africa on common sanitary. "I like the philosophy of educating the people, because what happens when the free clothes and food are gone? We are back to where we started." Malik told us. Turner and the Gates are going to work to actually teach the people how to get clothes, vaccines, shelters, etc.
Bill told us that his trip to Africa was successful and they are working on a plan. Hopefully this means they will be executing action soon.

Utah Jazz with another win
SALT LAKE CITY— Utah Jazz take down the San Antonio Spurs with a final score of 106-99.
Just one game after the 3-pointer franchise record breaker against the Washington Wizards, the Jazz break it again with 16 3-pointers. Kyle Korver making all three of his 3-pointers was a big help in that.
Ronnie Brewer is said to be the key to this win over the Spurs. Regardless of his right groin injury, he made the winning 3-pointer. "The doctor says I’ll be okay, I was just happy to be in the game at all."
C.J. Miles had his career high with 30 points. Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer kept up their regular great playing habits, doing the double-double yet again.
Coach Jerry Sloan said, "I give my team credit for defense … we had some great stops in the last couple of minutes … I’m proud of my guys."
Even having the flu, Mehmet Okur had a great game with 14 points, he commented that, "the teams hard work is really going to pay off in the playoffs."

Gettysburg, Not in Vain
Gettysburg, Penn.--
Four and a half months after the Union armies defeated the Confederates, President Abraham Lincoln stood in front of over 1,500 people and invoked the principles of human equality talked about in the Declaration of Independence and how this Civil War has redefined it.
Referring to the events in the American Revolution, Lincoln said, “Four score and seven years ago…” as he then continued to describe the how this ceremony at Gettysburg was not just an opportunity to dedicate a cemetery, but also to consecrate the living in the struggle to ensure that "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth".
This speech had an impact on many people on the hot and humid day. “…conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”

Clearpoint to Educate Patient Health Care Education
Recover 50% faster
LOGAN, Utah— In 2006 Mary Ann Parlin started ClearPoint after her dissertation. She realized that when people are educated on the surgery they are about to get, they heal almost 50 percent faster. Also, when a patient is educated, they are happier. The way we educate patients is through simulated instruction- we show you what happens before it happens. We have many DVD’s showing patients the surgery and steps of recovery.
Our staff is highly experienced and has different degrees in instructional technology, curriculum and instruction, computer science, and graphic design. Through their experience in designing, instructing, and educating, we all have the same idea; "instruction is not effective if learners don’t clearly see the main point." I joined the ClearPoint team last year after researching them because a friend told me so much about them. "I had surgery on my right lung and nearly died on the operating table because I didn’t have knowledge enough to know that I shouldn’t lie when the nurse asks if I ate within the last 24 hours." Preston Parker, now CEO of ClearPoint, told me years ago. "It’s not about the money, it’s about success." The way patients become educated through ClearPoint is included in the cost of the surgery they are going to undertake.
Clearpoint is a Utah-based company. Using a model-centered approach do design instruction. After developing accurate models of what the patients need to know, do, and feel about their own health, we create instructional materials and learning activities that actively engage patients in solving authentic problems related to their health. The final step is working with the doctors to conduct research that lets them know if the patients are really learning. The promise stands, "your patients will clearly see the main point."

The “POPErah”
CHICAGO, Ill.-- Oprah Gail Winfrey, 54, born Jan. 29, 1954, in Koscisko, Miss., joined her father in heaven Feb. 14, 2008, at Harpo Studios after a cluster of adoring fans accidentally suffocated her in excitement on her way to her car.
Oprah had a rough childhood where at the age of 13 she lived with her father’s strict discipline. She was taught at an early age how to achieve her best. At the age of 17 she started her broadcasting career when she was hired by WVOL in Nashville. Two years later she moved to Baltimore to be come a co-anchor, where she discovered her love for broadcasting. In 1986 the Oprah Winfrey show started becoming the number one talk show in less than a year.
Oprah won many Emmy awards for “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” which is the highest-ranked talk show in television history. She had been nominated for an Academy Award, published a magazine, and was one of the most noted book critics our time had seen.
Named most philanthropic African American of all time, richest African American of the 20th century, the world’s only black billionaire for three straight years, and not to mention, the most influential woman in the world, Oprah paved the way.
She is survived by her partner of 21 years, Stedman Graham, two cocker spaniels (Sophie and Solomon), and two golden retrievers (Luke and Layla). She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Hattie Mae; her mother, Vernita Lee; and her father, Vernon Winfrey.
”Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.” Oprah will be remembered as one of the most wise women history has ever seen.
A viewing will be held from 2 to 4 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 19, 2008, at the Regan Mortuary , 2005 E. 1969 N. It is a closed service.

Last Weeks Burglary at an LDS Meeting House Goes to Court
LOGAN, Utah— Two individuals burglarized a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints meeting house last week, stealing two CPU’s, and breaking two monitors. March 25th is the date set for court. 35-year-old Jim Michals is one of the accused. The name of the other juvenile assailant has not been released.
District Attorney, Noel Mayfield told us that Judge Alan Mayfield (no relation) found enough probable cause to take this to court. Michaels could face six months to a year for the felony burglary, breaking and entering. "I’m going to see for the maximum, they have prior records which is why they are facing what they are."
Defense Attorney of Michaels, Robbie Cochran, told us the evidence is flimsy. "We can establish where Mr. Michaels was at the time of the burglary." Sheriff Deputy, Geoffery Hasty made the arrest on Michales and the juvenile last week. Michaels posted bond of $5,000. No comments were made on the juvenile.
