    A LETTER FROM THE UN FOUNDATION PRESIDENT Dear Partners and Friends: You are saving lives! Thank you for being a part of the United Nations Foundation's Nothing But Nets campaign, which provides individuals—from CEOs to youth, professional athletes to faith leaders—the opportunity to join in the global fight against malaria by sending a net and saving a life with a $10 contribution. One of the most cost-effective and simple approaches to combat malaria is through the use of long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets, which can prevent malaria transmission by creating a protective barrier against mosquitoes at night, when the vast majority of transmissions occur. It costs $10 to buy and distribute a bed net and to educate the recipient on its use. In 2008, supporters of the Nothing But Nets campaign have saved millions of lives. With the funds raised, the life-saving bed nets distributed, the number of supporters reached, and the raised profile of malaria, 2008 proved to be a successful year for Nothing But Nets and, ultimately, the global effort to prevent malaria. Building on the momentum of what began halfway through 2006, Nothing But Nets raised nearly $25 million by the end of 2008 from over 100,000 individuals and distributed over 2 million bed nets to areas of greatest need in Africa. Nothing But Nets is linking its partners and individuals to the global movement to support the work of the United Nations to end malaria deaths by 2015. As always, these achievements could not have been possible without our unique set of partners who are helping us reach diverse communities to spread the message that malaria kills and nets save lives.

  • Raising the Standard (Excellence - Chapter 6)
    Published on FCA Resources (https://fcaresources.com) Home > Raising the Standard (Excellence - Chapter 6) Raising the Standard (Excellence - Chapter 6) n/a Ready: "Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more." -1 Thessalonians 4:1 (NASB) "Success will not lower its standard to us. We must raise our standard to success." -Randall R. McBride, Jr. Set One athlete?s career-threatening injury is another athlete?s blessing in disguise. At least that?s been the case for Major League Soccer veteran and four-time All-Star Chris Klein, who tore his right anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in 2001 and his left ACL in 2004. Both times, Klein made spectacular returns to the field and deservedly earned Comeback Player of the Year honors (2002 and 2005). Although each injury was potentially career ending, he leaned heavily on his relationship with God and a strong desire to show the league and its fans the true meaning of excellence. "Right after that first knee injury, I had a peace in knowing that God had a plan for me,? Klein says. ?That allowed me to put the work into my rehab and come back from the injury and be a better soccer player. With those two injuries, I?ve had more of an opportunity to speak about my faith than anything else I?ve done on the field in my entire career.

  • Former Matadors to Share the Pitch in MLS Action Sean Franklin Is One Of
    CSTV: Print Story Page 1 of 2 [ Print | Close ] MLSFormer Action Matadors to Share the Pitch in Sean Franklin (2004-07) and Daniel Paladini (2002-05) will be on the sidelines when the Galaxy meets Chivas USA. emergingSean Franklin stars. is one of the Galaxy's April 25, 2008 LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Former Cal State Northridge men's soccer players Sean Franklin (2004-07) and Daniel Paladini (2002-05) will be on the sidelines Saturday when the LA Galaxy squares off with Chivas USA in MLS action. The match renews one of Major League Soccer's top rivalries. Franklin was the fourth overall draft choice in the MLS SuperDraft earlier this year. The Galaxy selected him to help shore up their back line after trading veteran defender Chris Albright. Franklin has justified the selection nicely and has started three of the Galaxy's four games this season. Franklin was the Matadors' right back as a senior and has played on the inside and outside as a professional. Daniel Paladini has taken a different route to this weekend's action. After a stand-out career at Northridge in which he was tabbed first-team All-Big West as a junior and senior and earned conference Midfielder of the Year as a senior, Paladini was selected in the MLS supplemental draft by the Galaxy. The midfielder hung on briefly with the team before joining up with the San Fernando Valley Quakes of the Professional Developmental League, and in March, he impressed Chivas USA enough to warrant another professional contract. Paladini has found a place with the team, but is still awaiting his first call up to join the 18-man squad.
