Terrell Owens has recently signed with the Buffalo Bills, and has not attended the volunteer work outs with the team. Terrell says, "I talked to coach Dick Jauron prior to the start of the workouts about that," He was honored Wednesday evening with an award at an Alzheimer's Association gala. "Right now if there's nothing mandatory that I have to be a part of, then I won't intend to be there." He also claims that the teams work outs just aren't as good as his own personal trainer.
I know that the work outs were not mandatory, but to make some team unity. Being with a new team you would think that getting to know your teammates would be at the top of your list of things to do, rather than to find ways to be away from your new team.
Quater-back Edwards said he hadn't had much communication with his new receiver when voluntary workouts started on Monday, but added that it didn't bother him that Terrell was not there. "He's obviously been playing the sport a long time," Edwards said. "He knows his body, he knows the relationship he needs to have with the quarterback.
The quater-back/leader of the team does not have a problem with it so I don't see an issue with the team. Every one else on ESPN has been talking about the issue and I honestly think that it is getting old. He has been this way for many years, with the Eagles, with the Cowboys, and now with the Bills, when he started out with the 49ers he wasn't as bad, but then again that is where his head began to grow.
He must have some pretty good Public Relation skills to keep his salary up and to keep having fans and support of many people to keep him going. The way he sees it as that the more any one talks about him or says his name the more money he will bring in. To him all I see is a guy that just wants something for nothing.

Obama Campaigner, Facebook Cofounder Takes A PR Job
Obama Campaigner, Facebook Cofounder Takes A PR Job
This is interesting news tidbit. I know all of us or most of us know about facebook and some of us may even be addicted. Did you know that a co-founder of facebook now has a job for President Obama? Chris Hughs a cofounder of facebook now has a public relations job for President Obama. Hughs quit working with facebook in early 2007 to help that campaign for the Obama Campaign in the web operations department.
Hughs helped revolutionized US politics forever, and will soon be a stragegic advisor for GMMB Communications, a subsidiary of Fleishman-Hillard.
I am an avid facebook user, and I can say that this is something that does interest me. Facebook is really making a name for it self if it is getting right up there with the president. To see how facebook has grown in to billions of people joining up together, maybe not to be together but to be in contact with. Just to think that he could bring that same uniting to the White House and with President Obama, to see how our country can bond together to be stronger.

11 Public Relation Firms
City still has money for PR
This is an article that I had come across on the internet. I still do not understand the reasoning behind all of this. What Mayor would need more than three publicist, or even a whole public relations firm.
Mayor Daley’s administration has signed another contract of five million dollars for public relations. This is a total of eleven public relation firms worth fifty-five million. People argued that three new contracts awarded in early October had been finalized before making the decision to issue these types of contracts. The budget crisis has only gotten worse since the signing of these contracts, “the Department of Environment signed yet another $5 million contract on Feb. 17 with Cultural Communications LLC.”
"A lot of pamphlets and brochures we do are in English. Often, the information needs to be communicated [to neighborhoods] where English isn't the first language," said Jacquelyn Heard (Mayoral press secretary)
No funds have been expended, and it's highly unlikely any will in this economic climate. Every department is aware of our financial constraints, and these types of services are not considered essential. Ald. Scott Waguespack called the latest contract "wrongheaded" at a time when declining revenues have poked a fifty point five million hole in Daley's 2009 budget, setting the stage for more layoffs and union concessions.
Waguespack questioned the need for outside spin doctors, even during the best of times, adding, "I don't think they provide any more service than the dozens of other PR people we have already in the city."
One of the eleven public relation firms has not received a payment from the city since a November edict. The blizzard of public relations contracts prompted an outcry during City Council budget hearings.
You would think with that many public relation firms that this Mayor would not have any issues in the public or in the news about public relations, but I guess having a few extra firms could conflict with one another.
