Finally learning and getting comfortable with blogging!

It is soo annoying that now the semester is over I have figured this whole blogging thing out. I finally understand the site and everything with it, and I definately think I will continue to blogg even after the semester is over. It’s fun to read other people’s opinion about issues and topics! If only I would have been as comfortable with this during most of the semester as I am now! ugh!

Great Public Relations advice

I’m very new to  Public Relations, but I came across this article and it definately gives someone new to the profession a good idea of what a PR pro. should be like. I encourage you to read it if you are new to PR or are just interested. I would definately reccommend scrolling down to the “Education and Training” portion of the article.

Interview with Braves pitcher Peter Moylan

As you probly know if you have read any of my blogs, I am a huge Braves fan. I just want to say how impressed I am with the Braves web-site. The just interviewed one of the players,Peter Moylan, and posted it. I think that is a great PR move for the Braves to interview players and allow fans to see what the player is like away from the field. It was a great interview and if you would like to read it I attached the article to my blog.

The Athens shooting

Wow, Im from Athens and could not believe it when I heard about the teacher who shot and killed his wife. Not only that but he proceeded to take his kids a long with him after he did it. However, i was impressed with how UGA handled the situation by sending text messages to all the students as soon as possible. I think it’s so important the school communicates with the students when am event such as this one occurrs.

Something I have ALWAYS wondered about MLB baseball and trades

Ok, I was bored and thinking the other day about random things (which is an often occurance for me) and I got to thinking about what happens to players particuarly in baseball when they get traded in mid-season. I can think of countless times when a player say gets traded from New York to Arizona and that player is in the starting line-up the very next day for their other team hundred of miles away. How do they move from point A to point B soo fast?
Well, the answers obvious in that they fly, but I mean like how do they get all there stuff (clothes, valuables, furniture,and etc) to the city they were traded to? Does the team that traded for them send people in the organization to their house/apt. and move their belongings for them? Obviously, the player traded does not have time to look f0r a place to stay when they are traded, so does the organization set them up with a place or does a player on the team volunteer to let them stay with them? There have been players traded  to3-4 different teams/cities in a season, so I can imagine how mentally stressful that must be. So, if anyone knows how this process works I’d love to hear!
