Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) April 27, 2007

Chicago Tutor/mentor organizations heed the call from Super Bowl coaches Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith. PSA underscores the importance of mentoring as local organizations gear up for May 17 and 18, 2007 conference

The 93 million viewers who tuned in to Super Bowl XLI heard an important message about the power of mentoring.

Coaches Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith came together to share their thoughts on mentoring during a 15-second public service announcement sponsored by CBS Cares, NFL and Big Brothers Big Sisters.

In the ad Smith references Dungy, who helped him get his first job in the NFL, as a personal mentor.

“Many kids don’t have someone to help them compete in life,” Dungy adds, underscoring the need for more mentors to get involved in the lives of young people.

Dungy’s words ring true for many Chicago-area tutoring and mentoring organizations as they gear up for a semiannual Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference, hosted by the Tutor/Mentor Connection and the Children & Family Justice Center at the Northwestern University Law School in Chicago.

The annual conference is a place to connect many different public and private sector organizations who are engaging volunteers in organized learning, mentoring and tutoring programs. Among the speakers at the May 17 and 18 conference will be Arne Duncan, CEO of Chicago Public Schools and Jesse Ruiz, Chairman of the Illinois State Board of Education. Among the workshops will be one led by Art Mollenhauer, Executive Director of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Metropolitan Chicago, which shows how businesses can connect with volunteer-based tutoring/mentoring. Another workshop, hosted by Karina Ayala, Executive Director of the Abraham Lincoln Marovitz Lend A Hand Program at the Chicago Bar Association, will talk about how youth mentoring can be a strategy of the diversity pipeline goals of the legal community, and other industries. Other workshops will show roles of faith communities and universities in tutoring/mentoring, and ways tutor/mentor programs can collaborate to raise visibility, and recruit volunteers. In addition, a special group of workshops will focus attention on young men, age 16-30, who are out of school, but not in jobs. This set of workshops is hosted by the Fathers for the Future Foundation.

The entire conference agenda and roster of speakers can be found at http://www.tutormentorconfernce.org. Registration is now open and conference leaders are looking for participants and sponsors who want to answer the Super Bowl coaches’ call and make a commitment to improving the lives of youth from high-poverty areas around Chicagoland.

“We’re not just looking for volunteers to be tutors and mentors, though they are very important,” said Daniel F. Bassill, president of the Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) and 33-year leader of a Chicago-based tutor/mentor program. “We’re also looking for volunteers to use their talent to help build eLearning and technology programs. We’re looking to engage leaders of organizations that focus on workforce development, diversity, philanthropy and education reform, as well as business leaders interested in social investing and employee volunteerism. These organizations should view tutoring/mentoring as part of their own strategic efforts.”

According to Bassill, the biggest hurdle currently facing tutoring and mentoring programs is a lack of consistent support from public and private sector funders.

“People tend to think that our work stops at the end of the academic year. In fact, each year is just that: one year out of many in the lives of the young people we help,” said Bassill. “Thus, our goal is to encourage leadership strategies that support the operations of on-going, constantly-improving tutor/mentor programs.”

The Tutor/Mentor Connection is committed to creating and strengthening programs that offer long-term support to the young people they serve, with a goal of getting every child into a job or career by the age of 25.

Businesses, faith and hospital leaders, individuals and organizations who would like to participate in the Conference are encouraged to register to attend. The fee for the two-day conference is $ 100. Single day fees are available. Scholarships are also available.

More details about the Conference and T/MC are available at http://www.tutormentorconference.org

Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) November 17, 2006

College football betting expert Benton Vale of Point-Spreads.com, the premier provider of sports data, information, and analysis to the betting community, discusses this weekend’s marquee college football match up between No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 2 Michigan with CEO Thomas Jensen in anticipation of Point-Spreads.com’s full coverage of College Football Betting for Week 12.

The Point-Spreads.com team lends an insight into what to look out for when researching for college football predictions, as well as where the “public’s” money is going when the Ohio State Buckeyes battle the Michigan Wolverines at a sold out Ohio Stadium on Saturday November 18th, 2006. The game will be nationally televised on ABC at 3:30 PM EST.

“The Ohio State Buckeyes are listed as a 7 point favorite as you can see on the Live Odds Board located at http://www.point-spreads.com/ncaaf-point-spreads.html ” stated Jensen. “The Buckeyes and Wolverines have never played each other when one team was ranked 1st and the other team ranked 2nd in a historic clash of two college football rivals.”

“This is the game the entire college football world has been looking forward to since pre-season when Ohio State was projected to win this years BCS Championship,” said Point-Spreads.com football writer Benton Vale. “So much is riding on this one game. The winner gets its ticket punched to the Fiesta Bowl for the BCS Championship Game in Glendale, Arizona and the loser gets the Rose Bowl as the consolation prize. You know this game is big when the loser gets the Rose Bowl.”

Both teams are 11-0 on the year and are undefeated in the Big Ten with 7-0 records. Ohio State is coming off a 54-10 drubbing of Northwestern and owns the nation’s longest winning streak with 18 consecutive victories. The Buckeyes have won 13 consecutive Big Ten games and are unbeaten in their last 11 home games. While Michigan is coming off a 34-3 winner over Indiana on Saturday and is 4-0 on the road this year.

It will be Senior Day for Ohio State with 19 seniors, 16 of whom are in their fifth year, will be introduced to the Ohio Stadium crowd Saturday and will meet with their families at midfield prior to the game. During the past four year, this class has a combined record of 40-8, will have played in four bowl games, including three BCS games, and has shared one Big Ten Conference Title.

Jensen concluded, “If Ohio State wins it will be their first outright Big Ten Conference title in 22 years. Head Coach Jim Tressel is 4-1 against Lloyd Carr and the Michigan Wolverines. Troy Smith is 24-2 as a starting quarterback and is 2-0 in the Michigan vs. Ohio State rivalry. With Smith looking to impress Heisman voters and the front runner to win the Heisman Trophy, I expect him to have a big day for the Buckeyes.”

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 27, 2010

The San Francisco Bay Area?s leading executive resume writer and career counselor has offered to write a resume for Alex Smith, the San Francisco 49er quarterback on the same day the team fired its Offensive Coordinator, Jimmy Raye.

Smith?s lack of success raises a problem for the 49ers, Freiberger said. ?They can?t trade him and they seem to insist on playing him. He needs a professional resume writer more than a new offensive coordinator.?

Shimmering Resumes, which develops resumes for executives and professionals, is concerned about the performance of the NFL franchise, which innovated the West Coast offense when led by Hall of Fame quarterbacks. but has since fallen into a deep malaise.

?As a 49er fan I see this as a way to help my team,? said Paul Freiberger, president of Shimmering Resumes of San Mateo. ?Smith?s performance doesn?t speak so well for itself so I?ll create a resume that will speak for him and help him get a job for another team.

?Why won?t the 49ers cut their under-achieving star loose?? Mr. Freiberger asked. ?Perhaps ownership worries that Smith can?t get by with the $ 49.5 million he has received from the team. That?s one reason he needs a professional resume writer. It is simply Career Planning 101.?

Mr. Freiberger said Smith has great qualifications to highlight in a resume, including a 40.7 second 40-yard dash and a 31-inch vertical leap. ?That he hasn?t been able to use these talents to help his team win a game this season is the challenge. We all have our weaknesses; unfortunately for Alex, the media won?t ignore his interceptions, losses, and inconsistency over six years.?

The president of Shimmering Resumes said he hopes to meet with Smith in person and explain the rules and benefits of a professional resume writing service to him, such as:
