College Football Fanatics, a new book by Ernie Charles, has been released by CreateSpace.

In this book, author Ernie Charles talks about the passion, the traditions, the people that make college football what it is – one of the greatest sports in the country.

Whatever is going on around us, whether it is a crashing economy, the threat of terrorism, a worry about the future, the national debt, it is all going to be alright as long as we still have college football to look forward to. If something or someone ever interferes with that, then you will see the people become fighting mad.

This book celebrates the diehards, the people that paint their faces, wear their team colors year round, and tailgate for hours before the game.

This is a book for the fans…by a fan!

When asked about his reaction to the article, Travis replied, “Articles like this are game-changers. They not only introduce me to an ever-broadening audience, but suggest why that audience might be interested in reading, watching, and listening to more.”

The first serious game-changer article was on Perlich Post, where Pike’s “Watch Out Woman,” Youtube clip from the 1966 movie “Feelin’ Good,” was proclaimed the best rock video of 2016 actually shot in 1966, a half-century earlier.

The second game-changer followed quickly. Ugly Things published a favorable review of that clip, favorable reviews of some of Pike’s more recent works, and a six page Harvey Kubernik – Travis Pike interview in its 2016-2017 Winter Edition.

Number three was quick on its heels, when State Records, U.K., requested the rights to produce a limited edition 45 rpm vinyl record of “Watch Out Woman” and “The Way That I Need You,” the two songs Pike performed in the movie, taken directly from the optical movie soundtrack.

And the news just keeps getting better. Last year’s December issue of Shindig magazine listed the State Records release of “Watch Out Woman” at number three of its Best of 2017 singles, and the February online issue of Goldmine magazine reviewed Pike’s CD albums, “Ouside the Box,” Travis Edward Pike’s Tea Party Snack Platter,” “Feelin’ Better,” and “Morningstone Music” (since re-released as “Mystical Encounter: Songs from Changeling’s Return”), and listed them all as Quick Picks in the Goldmine April print edition, due on newsstands March 6 – April 10.

Now, It’s Psychedelic Baby has posted Lenny Helsing’s 18 page “Travis Edward Pike Story,” an exclusive in-depth article celebrating Pike’s more than half-century in showbiz, with a focus, of course, on his music.

And there’s more to come in the weeks ahead!

Grand Blanc, MI – Season 12 of the Sister Wives on TLC is in full swing, and will be featuring an upcoming episode on the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis. Why is this important? In this upcoming episode, the Brown family comes to Michigan to chronicle the treatment of one of their daughters for this life-altering disorder. Who did they come to see: Dr. Mark Morningstar, DC, PhD of the ScoliSMART Clinics – Michigan. Dr. Morningstar’s practice is located in Grand Blanc, where he provides highly specialized testing and treatment for scoliosis. When asked about the reality television experience, Dr. Morningstar said, “It was a very eye-opening experience. You don’t realize what goes into making this type of television show until you’re on one. I hope this episode will help to shed some light on the many recent advancements made in the field of conservative, non-surgical scoliosis treatment.”

Scoliosis is a three-dimensional curvature of the spine, which can cause heart and lung problems if the curvature becomes severe. Scoliosis is historically treated by observation, bracing, and fusion surgery. However, recent advances in clinical laboratory testing and rehabilitation strategies have provided new insights into the underlying causes of scoliosis. These advancements allow for better non-surgical treatment options, as well as minimally invasive non-fusion surgical procedures. Scoliosis affects 3-5% of adolescents annually, and over 60% of adult females ages 60 and older.

ScoliSMART Clinics are specialized scoliosis treatment centers, fully dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of all aspects of the scoliosis condition. Their centers provide short-term rehabilitation therapy so that patients from all over world can come and learn how to properly care for, and improve, their scoliosis. ScoliSMART Clinics – Michigan has treated patients from 34 states, 3 Canadian provinces, and 12 countries. Dr. Morningstar has developed proprietary rehabilitation equipment and diagnostic laboratory testing relating to scoliosis, and is the most highly published chiropractic clinical researcher in the field of scoliosis treatment and diagnostics. Dr. Morningstar’s ScoliSMART Clinic is located within the Natural Wellness & Pain Relief Center in Grand Blanc (nwprc.com).

The Profound Poetry of T. Mac Mandela Zulu, a new book by T. Mac Mandela Zulu, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

When author T. Mac Mandela Zulu’s cousin died in prison in 1995, he wrote “Positive or Negative.” His cousin was a career criminal; drugs were his life. Zulu did not want to go down that route. He has always wanted to be somebody and has found his calling in poetry-it is his God-blessed talent.

About the Author
T. Mac Mandela Zulu was born in Tyler, Texas, in August of 1952. His mother taught school in Sulphur Springs, Texas, at Douglas High School. Zulu still loves that town. When Zulu was six years old, his great-uncle told him that he was a blessed child because he had grey and red hair. His uncle was right! Zulu believes he is a blessed individual. He played a coronet in junior high, high school and at Henderson County Junior College in Athens, Texas.

Zulu was drafted on December 5th of 1971 and chose to be a Marine. Originally, he wanted to play in the NFL, but he believes that was not in God’s plans. He instead became a preacher, rather than a professional punter. Zulu then got married and had a daughter, Tonya, now a beautician.

Out of all of the organizations Zulu has been in, the Boy Scouts of America was the best. Their motto is: be prepared, which Zulu tries to follow throughout his life.

The Profound Poetry of T. Mac Mandela Zulu is a 186-page paperback with a retail price of $15.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4809-4216-5.

February 22, 2018. Naples, FL – Fischer International Identity announced today that Idaho State University, a premiere research and teaching institution, has awarded Fischer the contract to manage university-wide identity security requirements in Fischer’s Identity as a Service® Cloud.

Like many institutions, Idaho State was struggling with the necessary IT resources for day-to-day management of their identity solution. The university issued a comprehensive RFP to identify a vendor with experience in higher education, leadership in identity management and governance, and a state of the art data center for hosting and managing identity solutions

Fischer’s full suite of provisioning, access governance, password management and authentication modules will replace the university’s prior vendor solution, integrating with Banner by Ellucian®, Microsoft Active Directory and other systems. “ISU lacked the resources to adequately manage our identity ecosystem,” said Randy Gaines, CIO, at Idaho State University. “Outsourcing our identity infrastructure to Fischer enables us to provide more responsive, robust, and flexible, identity management services.

ABOUT FISCHER INTERNATIONAL IDENTITY
The Fischer International Identity mission is simple: “Your Success.” From how we’ve engineered our identity & access management software, and how our implementation methodology eliminates unnecessary overhead and cost, to our investment in our customers by providing low cost and in many cases no-cost feature enhancements, our solutions make IAM work for your organization – both technically and financially. We never stop innovating. We never stop evolving our product and our methodology. We are never satisfied because we know we can continue to make IAM easier to consume and deploy.
