Besides, what could go wrong? All he wanted was one small bowl of his roommate’s nacho cheese Doritos. When he tore open his roommate’s bag of Doritos however, his roommate’s rage exploded into the room. Ray Jackson, campus programmer, and Luke Saintignan, systems administrator, filmed and

directed three Dorito commercials for this year’s Doritos Crash the Super Bowl ad contest. The videos were lighted by photographer Joel Dryer. The main two videos they submitted were “Roommate Rage� and “Jurassic Pug.� They also submitted a third one called “Doritos open auditions (director’s cut).� “Our main one was called ‘Roommate Rage’ and the whole thing is Luke ate my Doritos and I try to hunt him down and kill him. There is a lot of different movieinspired stuff in it,� Jackson said. “It was just craziness.� Doritos picks the top five videos and winners receive $25,000. People can vote for their No. 1 favorite video by going to the “Doritos Crash the Super Bowl� website. The winning video is aired during the Super Bowl and the winners receive round-trip tickets to Indianapolis and tickets to the Super Bowl. Winners also receive the chance to work with The Lonely Island, a group of three writers,

Congress shelves Internet anti-piracy bills for now KASI DICKERSON Executive Editor Two anti-piracy bills, Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) are attempting redefining the future of the Internet. According to opencongress.org the bills would “establish a system for taking down websites that the Justice Department determines to be dedicated to copyright infringement. The DoJ or the copyright owner would be able to commence a legal action against any site they deem to have

‘only limited purpose or use other than infringement,’ and the DoJ would be allowed to demand that search engines, social networking sites and domain name services block access to the targeted site. It would also make unauthorized web streaming of copyrighted content a felony with a possible penalty up to five years in prison.� Both bills have been shelved for now. SOPA was introduced by congressman Lamar Smith of Texas on Oct. 26, 2011.

While their videos did not make it to the top five, Saintignan and Jackson continue to have a positive attitude. “We had fun with it and I think ours stood pretty well, at least the two, the ‘Roommate Rage’ and ‘Jurassic Pug,’ stood pretty well with the ones they actually picked as the five finalists,� Jackson said. Jackson and Saintignan have been making videos for about a year now, but this was the first time they entered the Doritos contest. “We thought it was worth a shot so we just kind of threw our hat in the ring,� Saintignan said. “It was our first try.� Jackson adds that one reason they decided to give the contest a shot was because, “we like making videos and we like Doritos.� See DORITOS on Page 3

he Secondary Art Symposium for students and teachers from local high schools will begin at 8:30 a.m. today, in the Devall Student Center Ballroom. Students will gather for registration and a brief welcome from KC’s Art Department chairs. “The purpose of the symposium is to avail professionals (artists/instructors) for consultation and demonstrations that might provide insight and renew enthusiasm for teaching art,� said Carolyn FoxHearne, gallery director and art instructor. The Symposium provides the opportunity for teachers and students to see the various ways other schools teach art.

Ten scholarship awards, ranging from $800 to $2,000, will be presented to students for outstanding portfolios. Dr. Rebecca Riley, vice president and professor of art at Lone Star College Kingwood in Houston, and Future Akins, professor of art at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, will serve as the jurors of the exhibition. KC’s Turk Fine Arts Gallery is currently showing recent works of both Riley and Akins until Feb. 17. The gallery is open weekdays from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Admission is free. “Dr. Riley takes little pieces of art and makes a home for them, presenting each piece with an exciting and creative discovery,� said Fox-Hearne. “Akins shows unique ideas in the way she mixes art with craft. You see the thought process through each piece in her collection.�

Kathy Barber, theatre instructor, has chosen “The Father� as the first play of the semester. “The Father� will run 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28, through Saturday, March 3, and 2: 30 p.m. Sunday, March 4. “The Father,� written by August Strindberg, portrays the tragedy centering a couple struggling for possession of their daughter. As an example of the Realistic/ Naturalistic Literary Movement, “The Father� had an impact in theatre history because it was one of the earliest plays to address social issues. Barber describes the play as a “war of the sexes� and also as a “very intense, dramatic piece written very, very well.� Barber says the play not only challenges the students she has this semester by allowing them to push their boundaries, but the play also challenges her as it’s the first time she has directed it.

New developmental probation policy in place 6WXGHQWV RQ SUREDWLRQ UHTXLUHG WR PHHW ZLWK PHQWRU HYHU\ WZR ZHHNV WR LPSURYH FRXUVH VXFFHVV JASMINE CHAPPELL Staff writer Students who are enrolled in a developmental class for the third time after two unsuccessful attempts are being placed “developmental probation.” This new policy, effective this semester, includes English, reading and math courses. Once on probation, the student will be required to meet with a mentor every two weeks. The mentor will help students with their learning strategies and study

skills and monitor progress in the repeated courses. “We developed this policy because there are so many students who continue to repeat the same course,” said Becky Johnson, chair of the language development department. “The lack of success slows their academic progress toward their goal of a certificate or degree. We are intervening by supplying mentors to work with these students to give them the best chance of success.” Students who do not complete the probation requirements at the 0304 level

will be required to enroll in adult basic education (ABE) the next semester. In order to return to KC and receive college credit, students must complete the requirements of ABE and successfully test into 0306-level coursework. Students in 0306- or 0308-level courses who do not successfully complete probation requirements in the semester will be given two options: change their major to a certificate program with developmental requirements already met or register only for developmental courses with a maximum course load of six hours. Students on developmental probation must sign a document stating that they understand the policy. This new policy

concerns only students who are not Texas Success Initiative (TSI) complete. “This program is meant to help get students through developmental courses more quickly,” said Mariann Baker, chairman of the math department. With the increased number of students repeating classes, Baker says she has received a “positive reaction” from students concerning the new policy. “Students have struggled with these courses and are wanting some assistance,” Baker said. For more information or questions, contact Becky Johnson at 903-983-8223 or rjohnson@ kilgore.edu or contact Baker at 903-983-8645 or mbaker@kilgore.edu.

+VYP[VZ! I.T. guys cheese it up for commercial contest debut FROM PAGE 1 All of their submissions were random improv skits. “We don’t like to plan too much; it cramps our style,” Saintignan said. Jackson adds in good humor, “Of course we didn’t win either. We like to have a good outline about what we want to do and we base it off of that. We try not to think too much. We rely on the power of editing to make it work.” With only about one month to plan, shoot and edit the commercials, Jackson and Saintignan put their skills to the test. “Originally, our idea was to film as many bits as we could ’cause you can do up to 10 submissions and then just piece them together as 10 different videos, but it just came to be too much. So we narrowed it down to two and then came back and did a third one,” Jackson said. All together, the shooting and filming took about 12 hours and the editing took about 40 hours. The contest allows for each commercial to be 30 seconds long; however, when the Doritos logo is added at the end of the video, the video itself is more like 24 seconds. Therefore, Jackson and Saintignan spent a lot of time cutting their video down to the allotted time. “With the time limit being 24 seconds you really have to make every frame count,” Saintignan said. “I’m sure there are plenty of reasons why ours didn’t win, but I think in ‘Roommate Rage’ there was so much going on within 30 seconds.” Jackson says “Roommate Rage” was a “sense overload.”

We are just seeing where it takes us,” Saintignan said. “Just a couple of

I.T. guys that like making videos and making people laugh.” “Or educating them,” Jackson adds. The main difference between their Super Bowl commercials and their other youtube videos was the lighting. “My favorite part was getting together with a professional

and having him professionally light it and to see how much of a difference it makes. It really took our productions we are doing now to the next level; whether that will get us anywhere or not remains to be seen,” Saintignan said. “We are still going to keep making videos and trudging along.” For their Doritos commercials,

Currently if students violate the smoking policy they will be directed to the nearest smoking areas. “First we are big on voluntary compliance. I’m telling smokers that I smoke too, but if we don’t comply we will be kicked off campus,” KCPD chief Martin Pessink said. “Now we are trying to direct and educate people where the areas are.” Violating the smoking policy is a violation of the student and employee code of conduct, according to Pessink.

to a $500 fee in municipal court for smoking within 30 feet of any public building doors. On the other hand, students must have their I.D. visible while one campus. The first time a student is caught without an I.D. badge, a letter will be mailed to his or her permanent address. The second offense warrants

a hand-delivered letter from the office of Dr. Mike Jenkins, vice president of student development. From the third offense on, the penalty involves a fine starting at $25 and increasing with each offense. In the Fall 2011 Semester, these two policies were not formally enforced as police were focused on getting the

word out to students and listening to feedback. “You talked, we listened,” Pessink said. The primary concern with the Ranger I.D. Card was that students thought their debit card information could be stolen. Students who are uncomfortable wearing their Ranger Card can get the generic I.D. badge for free at the KCPD office. Temporary day passes are still available. “We understand everybody forgets,” Pessink said. He wants to make sure that every student is aware that if they forget their I.D., but take the actions to get a temporary one without being told to do so, they will not be punished.

Jackson and Saintignan had Joel Dryer, a photographer, light the scenes. “It was a challenge to get the light we needed,” Dryer said. “In the couch scene, I didn’t want any of the light spilling onto the wall. I wanted it to look like it was coming from a lamp.” In their third commercial, Dryer also participated as an actor. “We all have quirky senses of humor and we all feed off of each other. They are great to work with,” Dryer said. “In one commercial we shot with a white background so we were taking out shop lights to get a specific light ratio. We had about 2,000 watts in the room so it was very hot.” Because they filmed in many different locations, lighting the scenes was one of their biggest challenges. “It takes a while to find out how to make versatile lighting,” Jackson said. “Joel did a great job lighting it.” Jackson and Saintignan doubled as the actors and the videographers which made filming even more challenging. Camera trickery and skillful editing made the videos possible. Jackson was the primary editor and Saintignan was primarily the “face” of the commercials. Saintignan jokes that the hardest part of the filming was eating 15 bags of Doritos. To watch the commercials, go to youtube and search for “8-bit digital TV” or “Doritos crash the Super Bowl 2012: rejected commercials [improv skit].” Even though this year Jackson and Saintignan’s commercials will not air on national TV during Super Bowl Sunday, there is always next year.

7PYHJ`! Social networking, search engines at risk FROM PAGE 1 Initially, SOPA started as Congress’ attempt to seek court orders against websites outside of U.S. jurisdiction accused of copyright infringement. According to colocationamerica.com if SOPA passes, the “U.S. Senate and Department of Justice have the right to shut down and make search engines remove links to sites deemed ‘copyright infringement.’” Colocation America also notes that “SOPA is aimed at stopping domestic access and funding to foreign-based websites that offer pirated material. Essentially, this bill will cut off funding, advertising and access to said sites.” Smith postponed SOPA on Jan. 20, “until there is a wider agreement on a solution,” according to mashable.com. SOPA’s Senate correspondent, PIPA, was introduced on May 12, 2011 by Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont. The bill was made to curb access to rogue websites

dedicated to infringing or counterfeit goods, especially those registered outside the U.S. Ansonalex.com describes PIPA as a bill that “contains provisions that will allow the federal government to have an unconstitutional amount of power in regards to censoring Americans’ access to the Internet. All websites on the Internet will be liable for content added by users – comments, status updates, etc. Social media networks like Facebook could face prosecution over content uploaded by users. The Federal Government could forcibly require that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) block websites deemed as ‘enablers’ of copyright infringement.” While SOPA and PIPA may be targeting foreign sites, they are basically two bills that would censor the Internet and ban all pirating sites. “I am a very large partaker in free online content and I would hate to see it censored,

restricted or removed because I feel it has a large impact on our current culture,” Robert Marsh, Tyler freshman, said. “At the same time, I don’t think those reasons alone are enough to ostracize this movement without understanding what it’s really trying to protect.” If SOPA and PIPA pass what does that mean for the average Internet user? Let’s say someone posts a song lyric as their Facebook status without giving credit to the artist. If SOPA deems this as copyright infringement then the user’s Facebook account would be deleted and Facebook could be held liable; moreover, Facebook could be shut down or sued. “I’m really against SOPA because it’s not trying to stop piracy it’s more trying to stamp out freedom,” Cody Cheatwood, Harleton freshman, said. “For one thing, people on Facebook seem to post songs and such because it relates to how they feel and the thought of how someone’s Facebook account

could be deleted because of that is going a little too far.” Both bills have not been passed due to protestors and other legislative issues. For example, on Jan. 18 Wikipedia protested the bill by having a 24-hour blackout. According to BBC.com. Wikipedia was “viewed 162 million times, with eight million people following instructions to contact politicians.” Google, Facebook and many other websites also joined in the protesting. The Motion Picture Association of America, the Recording Industry Association of America and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are the three main organizations supporting SOPA, according to CNET news. The music and film industries are the main supporters. Internet piracy is an issue, moreover, ansonslex. com suggests that content producers “put the proper distribution methods in place so users have a legal and easy

Rangerettes name new Swingsters JASMINE CHAPPELL Staff Writer Ten freshman Rangerettes have been selected as the new Swingsters, the elite jazz dance group within the Rangerettes. To become a Swingster, one must be a freshman and “go through a weeklong process of learning new and traditional routines,� said Shelley Wayne, assistant Rangerette director and choreographer. During tryouts, judges look for “wellrounded dancers who are very versatile, have a strong sense of style and great performance etiquette,� Wayne said.

Swingsters perform during basketball games, pep rallies and are featured in Revels. There is no set number chosen for this particular group. “Once a Swingster, always a Swingster,� Wayne said. Swingsters have performed for special events like the Miss Texas Pageant and the Black Tie and Boots Ball in Washington, D.C. Being a Swingster comes with a lot of responsibility. “It is a bit intimidating easing into the new position because I am in charge of so many talented girls,� said Morgan Berger, head freshman Swingster. “At the same time it’s an exciting feeling

and I’m ready to get started.� Not only is filling the shoes of past Swingsters a task, but also managing time wisely is a must. “As a Swingster you are blessed with many performance opportunities, but along with that comes hard work and dedication,� Berger said. Their main goal as a group is to strive for their absolute best, meaning not just being the best dancer, but also by being the best role model. “Although it is a great opportunity to be a Swingster, you have to remember that being a Rangerette is an honor in itself,� Berger said.

As the Rangerettes performed at the 76th AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic, their director, Dana Blair, was inducted into the T e x a s D a n c e E d u c at o r s Association Hall of Fame in Houston. “I had no idea that I +(5( )3(09 9HUNLYL[[L was up for KPYLJ[VY it at all so it was a very big surprise,� Blair said. “It was very exciting mainly to be among the other people in the Hall of Fame. I was glad for the Rangerettes because it was a nice thing for the organization as well.� Among those honored in the Hall of Fame are Rangerette founder Gussie Nell Davis who was the director for 40 years and Deana Bolton Covin who succeeded Davis as Rangerette director in 1979. Blair worked as Covin’s assistant director and choreographer until Covin retired in 1993 and Blair was promoted to director. “It made it very special to be in it with them,� Blair said. “They are the only other two directors.� Blair has been the Rangerette director for

almost 19 years and she is the only director to have been a Rangerette. Blair’s dancing career started when she was a little girl taking dance. Her senior year in high school, she served as captain of the Lake Highlands High School Highlandettes in Dallas. Blair was a Rangerette from 1981-83 during which time she served as a Rangerette lieutenant and Swingster. Blair describes the Hall of Fame as a “history of drill teams.� The organization first tried to contact Blair by telephone to inform her of her selection; however, Blair missed the call. But assistant director Shelley Wayne learned a few hours before Blair that she had been selected. “A good friend called me and let me know she was being inducted. They asked me what was the best way to reach her and I asked if it was OK if the Rangerette organization told her about the honor,� Wayne said. “I thought it would be more impactful for her if the news came from the Rangerettes.� Wayne had a handful of sophomore Rangerettes dress in their uniforms and carry flowers to surprise Blair on her front porch to tell her the news. Blair said the surprise was “exciting� and “unexpected.�

Football coaches hope for improved team SHENIECE CHAPPELL Staff Writer J.J. Eckert, head Ranger football coach, said the result of the previous season “was a tough way to end a season to have leads in the last two games and we didn’t finish. Hopefully the 2012 team can learn from that.�

Now the coaches are hoping to change things by signing at least 25 to 30 players this week. The coaches are looking for many things in these new recruits but they’re mainly wanting “student-athletes who are inspired to be great. Great students, great athletes and great people,� Eckert said. “At this level, we are always trying to find quality student-athletes at every position

every year,� Eckert said. With the upcoming season only months away and spring football starting in April, Eckert has many expectations for the players. “We expect them to win the day. Win in the classroom, weight room and anything else they must do for them to excel as a student-athlete,� Eckert said. To be a complete team with great

leadership is something Eckert is hoping to accomplish this recruiting season. Coaches are also expecting more out of the 46 returning Rangers than the newcomers. “They have more invested at Kilgore College. When we finish the spring semester, we will have everyone on the same page believing ‘One Team, One Dream,’� Eckert said.

Instructor braves new society

( KH` PU [OL SPML /LYLQJ DPRQJ WKH KRPHOHVV OHDGV WR QHZ XQGHUVWDQGLQJ KASI DICKERSON ‡ Executive Editor

D

ropping his body to the cold damp ground, he attempts to get some sleep after a long day of traveling the streets of Shreveport, La. With nothing but a coat to keep him warm, English instructor Gus LaFosse braves the below-freezing weather as a homeless person would. Despite warnings from his pastor and outdoor

friends, LaFosse was determined to live on his own as a homeless person for a few days during his 31-day mission in December. “It was the hardest part of the trip and the hardest four days of my life. It was horrible, absolutely horrible. I’ll never do that again,� LaFosse said. “Living homeless by yourself is something everyone should do once, but no one should ever have to do twice.� LaFosse spent 31 days living in various locations in Shreveport with the homeless community. He lived in a bus in the country with a man named Catfish, undercover in a rehab center, under the Murphy Street Bridge and spent four days on his own. “I didn’t realize that all the time I spent under the bridge that I actually had a home. I had a place to keep my stuff. I could have blankets, a tent and all the things I needed,� LaFosse said. “But when you’re a transient, a homeless person who moves around constantly, you can’t carry everything with you. So I lost a lot of my possessions when I left the bridge.� The first night on his own, LaFosse climbed on top of an abandoned building where he left his backpack full of supplies and blankets. However, after leaving the building top in the morning he lost all of his supplies and blankets. Apparently the owners of the building found out he was sleeping there and they wanted to make it clear that he was not welcome. “The second night that I was on my own it was two degrees below freezing and I had no covers, only a coat,� LaFosse said. “I slept on the ground on a spot I found all of a sudden in Cedar Grove, one of the worst neighborhoods in Shreveport. When I woke up I couldn’t feel my fingers and that was pretty scary. That’s when I got sick and I stayed sick the next two days.� LaFosse went back to live under the Murphy Street bridge for a week; however, his sickness worsened causing him to put his mission on hold. “I cheated and went to the doctor,� LaFosse said. “I was going to ride it out because in my mind if I have the privilege of going to the doctor I’m not really understanding what they have to go through because they don’t have that privilege.� After medicine and a couple days of rest, he was feeling better and his mission continued.

“

“It’s amazing how we take for granted the fact that as soon as we start to feel ill we get to go to the doctor, the doctor gives us medicine and we start to get better,� LaFosse said. “You don’t realize how sick someone can get if they don’t go the doctor.� On the first Saturday of LaFosse’s mission, Jon Vashey, graphic designer and photographer at KC, visited LaFosse at the Commonground Community in Shreveport. “I’ve always had a passion for helping homeless people even before I moved to Texas (from Chicago),� Vashey said. Local businesses, families and friends donated goods that Vashey gave to the Commonground community. “I don’t know how he did it, but he collected all kinds of stuff: clothes, food, batteries; all sorts of things,� LaFosse said. “It was quite a blessing to have all of that.� Vashey met with LaFosse’s outdoor friends through a homeless walk which Commonground does every week. “Every Saturday Commonground goes out and ministers to the homeless people. You literally walk under bridges, across railroads and find camps and help them,� Vashey said. “I was shocked by how there is a whole bunch of stuff in the middle of nowhere– tents, beds and couches in forests.� While on the homeless walk, Vashey discovered how some people willingly choose to live outdoors as a lifestyle. “It blew away my ignorance to homeless people because there are people who really just want to live outdoors. If they were given a home they would sleep in the backyard. It’s like they like to be out there,� Vashey said. “There are those people and then there are those people who are out of a job, divorced, have injuries and mental problems who are homeless and want better.� Vashey also noticed how there are people living outdoors to share the Gospel. Before Vashey traveled to Commonground, LaFosse felt as though he was the only connection between Longview and Shreveport. “I was very glad to have him there. When Jon came

over there it kind of made me feel like someone else shared my burden and that someone could help me get the ball rolling here and I think he has done that and is very excited,� LaFosse said. “I have a feeling that it is all coming together, that we are all at the right place at the right time.� Even though Vashey only spent one day among the homeless community, his life has already changed. “I’ll never look at a bridge or patch of woods in an urban area the same,� Vashey said. “There is always the question of ‘Are people in there?’� Last summer, LaFosse spent the hottest week in recorded history living as an homeless person under the Murphy Street bridge; however, his December mission was a challenge as it was the longest, coldest mission he has attempted. “I read my old blogs now and I’m like, man, I was such a baby. They pale in comparison to this one,� LaFosse said. “I learned more in these 31 days than every mission combined.� After seeing downtown Longview, LaFosse realized how much the streets resembled the Shreveport area and he knew he wanted to help the community. “I’m in the process of opening a community house in Longview and that’s why I came to Kilgore College,� LaFosse said. “My first concern is a building. I have been making friends, but what is lacking is a building. I’m surprised at how quickly the friendship community has come together and how many people have shown an interest in it and how many people have contributed to the idea and offered to be a part of it.� LaFosse has raised $2,000 for the community house; however, it is not enough to open a facility. A community house is a constructive and positive place for making friends and resources. “We will continue to raise money until that dream is possible,� LaFosse said. “I’m looking forward to serving the homeless population not as ‘us and them’ but as a ‘community of friends’ helping each other.� To read LaFosse’s blogs and for more information, visit www.friendshipcommunitylongview.blogspot.com.

was welcome to it. I remember looking into his eyes, and though I don’t recall the color of them, I remember how blank they were. He told me thank you but said it in a way that made me wonder when he’d last spoken to another human. Sometimes it’s hard to go outside our comfort zones. It’s so easy to drive on by. It’s easy to ignore the problems of others and only concentrate on what’s going on in our little world, in our own busy lives. I’m guilty of it. I do it all the time. But when God has his hand at work in your life and you’re actually willing to let Him direct you, life is so much more fulfilling.

admit I have a Type-A personality. Some characteristics that are ingrained in my being are impatience, competitiveness, time urgency and ambitiousness. Some very tough challenges come with striving for perfection, other than the fact that it’s simply not possible to be perfect all the time. People who strive for perfection are overachievers. Their life does not feel in sync unless all their “ducks are in a row.” When life becomes disorganized or when an obstacle occurs, they spend endless energy figuring out how (:/;65 16/5:65 to make things 4HUHNPUN right. ,KP[VY Sometimes my desire to do it all, and do it all perfectly, makes it difficult to take on new opportunities. At times, I find myself thinking that if I can’t do something perfectly and to 100 percent of my ability, then I don’t want to do it. While this is not generally a bad thing, it sometimes deprives me of new experiences. I try to evaluate each opportunity as it comes along in terms of three things: 1) How my participation will be valuable to others, 2) How it will benefit me and 3) What’s the worst case scenario if I am not able to do it perfectly. Usually, this gives me enough of a reality check to realize when a valuable opportunity comes along, take it. Despite some of the negative aspects of being Type A, it has been tremendously rewarding in my life. I’m driven, and I rarely give up when I set my mind to accomplishing something. I’ve been able to provide a lot of time to organizations I love by being dependable, detail-oriented and able to conquer even the most challenging projects. We set high bars for ourselves and put our best foot forward to achieve them. We dedicate copious amounts of attention and time to our work to maintain our high personal standards. Our passion for excellence drives us to run the extra mile, never stopping, never relenting. A dedication toward perfection undoubtedly helps us to achieve great results. Yet, there is a hidden flip side to being perfectionists that we may not be aware of. Sure, being perfectionists and having a keen eye for details help us become excellent. However, as ironic as it might sound, perfectionism at its extreme prevents us from being our best. We procrastinate as we wait for a “perfect” moment. Our desire to “perfect” everything makes us overcomplicate a project. What’s actually a simple task may get blown out of proportion to the extent it becomes subconsciously intimidating. This “perfect” moment never strikes until it is too late. Throughout this semester, I’ve learned that life gives you a box full of gifts, and among those gifts there is one which is the degree of appreciation. Making hard decisions in your life or achieving more and more extraordinary challenges means you’ve made the right choices, ones that will be appreciated well past your experiences. This however, doesn’t mean that you are perfect at all. At the end of the day, we are who we are and we all have positive and negative traits, regardless of what type of personality we have. The best thing we can do is embrace our positive personality characteristics and continue to work on those that we find challenging. The key is to recognize we all have room for improvement and not being perfect is OK.

Debt passed to endzone

espite our $15 trillion national debt, our country spends billions on entertainment each year with Super Bowl Sunday being one of the industry’s largest expenditures. We decided to shift our focus to the question many consumers have never asked themselves: How much does the Super Bowl really cost? According to a TurboTax blog, Americans will spend approximately $70 billion on this year’s Super Bowl. This is good news for retailers and advertisers since Super Bowl Sunday is the most important snack, electronic and ad purchase day of the year. An estimated 112 million people will watch the Super Bowl rematch between the New York Giants and New England Patriots. Rentrak, a media measurement and analytical service, estimates 98.8 percent of Super Bowl watchers stay tuned for the commercials. The high price of a Super Bowl commercial is hardly a secret. All Super Bowl commercials were sold out by Jan. 2, at an average of $3.5 million per 30-second ad, by far the highest rate for Super Bowl advertising in the event’s history. Add to that the multi-million dollar budgets that some commercial productions require, and we have companies paying serious money for 30 seconds of our attention.

In addition to commercials, ticket prices for the National Football League’s championship were down 13.7 percent from prices paid to get into last year’s game in Arlington, according to TiqIQ, an event ticket aggregator. Stubhub.com has claimed about 3,000 seats are still available with prices ranging from $2,100 for nosebleed seats, up to a staggering $516,484 for a luxury suite. For those consumers not attending the game, hosting a Super Bowl party has become as American as football itself. Of roughly 112 million people who are expected to watch the game this year, 15 percent plan to host a party, while another 27 percent are planning to attend one, according to a survey from the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association. The Super Bowl has become one of the most powerful economic stimulators in modern society. But, of course there is a danger connected to all of this. In devoting ourselves to a private passion that has been blown out of proportion, we tend to ignore the issues that truly matter and deserve our attention. We too often busy ourselves with the entertainment aspect of our lives, spending money we could easily use somewhere else. But, for good or ill, the statistics are incontrovertible: Americans love their games, adore their athletes and idealize the Super Bowl.

t had just stopped raining. I sat in my truck watching him through the windshield. A homeless man stood on the edge of the road at the intersection of Highway 31 and Spur 63. A dirty, shapeless, dark green military jacket was the only protection he had from the cold rain and his long gray beard proved evidence of many weeks without shaving.

I included a note and headed back to the man. I slowed to a stop beside him, thankful that no one was behind me in the intersection, and rolled down my window halfway to hand him the sack. I briefly explained that I had not eaten my lunch that day and he
