This Sports Illustrated money will get put to good use, that's for sure.

To learn more about which schools just introduced Athena and Atlas programs, check out this link:

It's an older press release, but I really wanted to wait to get the video of the training in action. Always more fun to see these things when something is movin' and shakin'. You can see it sort of spells out more specifics of the programs, too.

For stats on teens and drug use after Atena and Atlas, etc. check out this different link:

Okay, a few pictures from my weekend at Cannon Beach. I visited with my friend Stace and hey boyfriend Scott. The first is Haystack rock at sunset (as taken from my cell phone camera which isn't the best).

I also got to see Haystack rock at low tide.. something I'd never seen before. SOO cool!

There was so much life in those tidepools.

Here's a shot Stace grabbed of me as I was grabbing a shot of me and my dog Milo with my camera phone.

And here is the photo as taken by my phone. Notice the flawless makeup and perfectly coiffed hair. Um, yeah, it's the beach!! I love love love the picture though because all you see is Milo's cute little nose. Cracks me up.

Ooops, time for my hit... Quick: Hi Mom.. Hi Dad!! Love you!!
