Self-promotion on wikipedia
Michael, please create an account for yourself and don't use an anonymous ip address to induce creation of articles by others. The address you used to start the request for creation,, is from the New York area, where you say you were born, and thus I assume it's you that made the request.

I am sorry--I have been working on an interview with the subject, and while I AM a newbie to using Wiki, I have used it extensively in research, and believe the subject (Michael J. Bernard) to be someone of notability. I have been in contact with the subject to verify the ISBN's of his forthcoming works and these have not been issued yet to the publisher. Once these are established I or someone else will no doubt update the entry accordingly, and lacking these ISBN's is why the titles were not included at the present time. I will register my account so that the appearance of self-promotion is no longer there. For the record, the subject now resides in Minneapolis, MN, at the current time. Nick.

Declined. This suggestion doesn't sufficiently explain the importance or significance of the subject. See the speedy deletion criteria A7 and/or guidelines on biographies. Please provide more information on why the person or group is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia, and cite reliable, published third-party sources, so that the information in the article is verifiable. Thank you. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:38, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Gary Job Corps
Located in San Marcos, Texas, the Gary Job Corps is the oldest and largest Job Corps in the nation, and was commissioned personally by President Johnson, who's autographed portrait has hung in the campus library since it's commission in 1965. Currently, there are only 2 remaining employees who were part of the original staff, Non-resident Counselor Isidoro Delgado, and Security Chief Bell.

The Gary Job Corps is named in honor of Edward Gary, who was the first WW2 soldier from San Marcos to be killed in combat.

The Gary Job Corps offers free residence to anyone between the ages of 16-24, granted there are no felonies on their adult record, no current warrants out for their arrest, and an individuals income for the past 6 months does not exceed $6,000. On campus residence is not a requirment to attend.

The Gary Job Corps has a full service cafeteria, which provides scheduled meals 3 times per day in a buffet style manner, food to the Gary center is provided by Sysco foods, based in San Antonio.

The Gary center also has the Ladybird Johnson Medical Clinic, which houses a skeleton crew staff of doctors, nurses, and dentists. The medical facility notoriably has a flower garden that Ladybird Johnson was personally responsible for planting, by the entrance.

The student population is usually in the area of 2,000 students, mostly male and primarily black/hispanic, with a small percentage being white or asian. To date, Security Chief Bell reads a list of anonymous recently expelled students, during the weekly general assembly, naming only their offense, whether it be drugs, violence, sexual misconduct, or other. The average expulsion rate since 2002 has remained at roughly 12 per week.

The Gary Job Corps Fitness Center boasts a fully equipped weight room, basketball court, 4 raquetball courts, basic necessary boxing equipment, foosball tables, and a rockclimbing wall, which was off-limits in 2004 due to safety interests. There is also a swimming pool which is open during the summer months. The athletic sports teams include: basketball, raquetball, baseball, and track. Their mascot is the panther, the teams colors are dark purple contrasted with light purple.

The Gary center also has an art studio containing oil and acrylic paints, canvass paper, brushes, and wood carving tools.

The trades offered at the school are: Machinist, Welding, Electrician, Carpentry, Apartment Maintenance, HVAC, Basic Office Technology, CNA training, Security officer training, Computer repair, Culinary Arts, Auto Mechanic, Auto Body repair, and oil changing, which is sponsored by Jiffy Lube. The Gary Job Corps is also home to a U.S. Army recruitment post. GED and Highschool equivalent diplomas are also offered through education classes, which are required if a student does not already have one.

Though the Gary Job Corps advertises student graduate placement into the workforce, with the exception of Jiffy Lube and the U.S. Army, there is less than a 30% success rate of immediate graduate placement into the trade of choice, and only a 12% success rate of continued employment after 6 months. Even though trades such as HVAC offer the required licensing as a prerequisite of graduation, the San Marcos chamber of commerce does not recognize Gary graduates as having received qualified training and experience. Many local employers refuse to hire Gary Job Corps students, thus the need for further training and usually placement elsewhere in the country. The Machinist trade is the only trade offered which does not include the required licensing and certification, though sponsorship and grants for further education is offered.

The Gary Job Corps is not without it's legal battles, the most recent notable one occurred in 2004 by John Kainer, a 20yr old caucasian student from Pelzner, South Carolina, who was expelled for the public disturbances and physical assaults that were inflicted upon him due to the display of his Confederate Battle Flag tattoo. After threats of legal action by his attorneys through a company called Prepaid Legal, Kainer was allowed to return to campus and continue his education in the electrical field until graduation later that year.

The Gary Job Corps center has also had a rising number of deaths and murders on campus through the 90's and 2000's, including the suicidal hanging of homosexual, Benjamin Flouroy in April of 2003. The center placed a memorial plaque in his name for approximately 1 year at the site of his death.

Former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman is a graduate of the Gary Job Corps.

This Wikipedia article needs serious expansion work, I only intended to start it. Information comes from the Job Corps website itself, and the San Marcos Daily Record newspaper. 66.203.226.73 (talk) 12:19, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Origins
Speculation of the Swiss Crew's origins are multiple. This non-profit conglomeration of individuals from many different nations actually found its birth in the Yvelines department of France (78) where hard times and a vocation for creativity led a small few young street goers to forga an alliance of hard-hitting activists, dedicated to upholding a charter that they named the "swiss manifesto". Graffiti artists, musicians, rappers, bums, DJs, drunks and drug-addicts, nature fans, ecologists, political activists, skateboarders, snowboarders, travellers and multi-linguists, each member of the self-proclaimed "Swiss Crew" took up the task of spreading "Swissness" worldwide. This has resulted in chapters being set up in many different countries and areas, notably the Parisian suburbs, England (London, Brighton, Egham, Oxford), the Netherlands (Enschede, Eindhoven, Maastricht), Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Japan, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Austria, the USA (New York, Boulder CO), Canada (Montreal), Panama City, and recently Rio de Janeiro are the most prominent. Induction to this organization is available upon application, whereupon one might enjoy the many diverse, and often secret endeavors that the Swiss crew relishes in. Some of these are more ostensible than others, such as the violent and enthralling sport of Swiss Football, a hybrid activity between Rugby, American Football, and medieval warfare. There are no official outlets to join, and in such, the Swiss Crew is primordially an underground organization to be looked out for. Nevertheless, most of their acitivities have yet to be discovered...

Specifics
Swiss crew and affiliates are widespread and work under cover of darkness. They use a code language close to Esperanto, yet with arabic and yiddish inflexions, peppered with French curse words; making conversations hard to grasp. Their manifesto is also written in this mysterious code that makes it nearly unbreakable to the most weathered cryptologists. This has led to speculation that they are indeed a anarchonihilistic organization, though this seems a bit farfetched as most specialists believe that they actually have very little common motivations at all other than praising their 'swissness'. The peculiarity of this group has left many quite befuddled, thus enhancing its notoriety.

FrenchSoiree, also known as FrenchSoiree.com, is a leading international social organization that promotes non-sexual social interactions amongst gay and bisexual men who wish to enhance their french and/or english speaking language skills. Also, the organization offers these men the opportunity to expand their boundaries and meet others internationally. The primary objective of the organization is to build community amongst these groups of men and bring Francophone and English speakers closer together. The entity is unique and noteworthy because it has become a sucessful model in building an international social group through the use of the internet with little funding.

The organization began in the United States in New York City, on August of 2005, and is founded by Gary Nash. Since its initial New York City inception, USA chapters have been established in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Miami. Internationally, there are current established chapters in Paris France, Toronto Canada, and Montreal Canada. These chapters, which average a little over 500 participants each, were built exclusively through free on-line web-postings via Craigs List. The FrenchSoiree organization has been quite instrumental in significant revenue generation and is becoming more recognized as major event participants and organizers attracting unsolicited advertising dollars in order to reach its niche base.

Each chapter usually meets weekly, and usually on Thursdays, over dinner to speak in english and french. Although the organization gears itself towards gay and bisexual men, it is non-discriminatory. Given the success and growth of the organization, all men, women, of all sexual preferences are and have been welcomed. In fact, many participants have agreed with the organization's "double entendre" promise tag-line: FrenchSoiree: ''If you come once, you will come again... I promise!''

Origins Of FrenchSoiree
The catalyst for the origination of FrenchSoiree began because many similar groups or venues (that cater to gay and bisexual men) are perceived as leaning more towards sexual in nature and failing to provide fully safe non-threatening environments of which men can just meet socially. Many gay bars, gay dating sites are traditionally perceived as environments that promote sexual interactions, drinking and the opportunities for that possible "hook-up." Usually, a photo image and "stats" are requisite upon meeting. Or the environment/venue does not provide an atmosphere for discussion. Gary Nash, the founder of FrenchSoiree, realized that a unique opportunity existed for men who simply wanted to meet other men for good conversation and friendship. There are no age limits for FrenchSoiree, no physical type requirement, no photo requirement, nor minimum level of comprehension of either French or English. Participants are asked just to have a keen interest in meeting new dynamic people and enhancing their language skills.

A Typical FrenchSoiree Meeting
FrenchSoiree meetings are typically held in a french restaurant over dinner. Usually, (in english speaking cities), the first hour is geared solely towards speaking exclusively french. In french speaking cities, english, is spoken for the initial first hour. After the one hour requisite period, any language of choice is spoken amongst participants. The conversations are undetermined and random. Topics have been known to be cover ranges of politics, sex, current events, et alia. There are no required membership fees, nor any purchase requirements. The organization is currently organizing chapters in Quebec, and Provence.

FrenchSoiree.com The web site
The successful growth and development of FrenchSoiree chapters and its model encouraged the development of the organization's web site. In August of 2006, the organization launched www.frenchsoiree.com. The strategy of the web site is mixture of main stream news and personalities with news and talents of participants. The

Beckwithshaw Saints
Beckwithshaw Saints are an English football team that currently play in the Harrogate and District League Division 1, after being relegated from the Premier, at the end of season 06-07. The team play at the 'Village Ground' in the village and have been known to have a large following. The village itself lies just outside Harrogate in North Yorkshire.

TEAM COLOURS
Beckwithshaw currently play in blue at home and red away with navy shorts. They have been known to play in white and this kit was given its debut in the 2005-06 season at an away match against Burley Trojans, which was won 2-0. At the end of that season, Beckwithshaw just managed to avoid relegation to Division one.

NICKNAMES
Beckwithshaw's official nickname is 'The Saints' or 'Becky'(by the players themselves. The fans who, more often than not, turn out in their droves, despite occasional disppointing results, usually refer to the team as 'Shaw'.

06-07 SEASON
Despite a poor finish in the 05-06 season, Beckwithshaw came into the new campaign full of optimism. Despite this however, Mark Watson, then the manager decided to resign in charge of the team, due to work commitments and a desire to step out of the limelight. Steve Lawrence, manager for the 05-06 season which over saw survival stepped in the fill the shoes alongside David Ramshaw, the veteren defender, who is constantly in the local papers after being linked with moves to Knaresborough Celtic and Sherwood F.C.

The season got off to a good start. Winning three games in a row at home The Saints soon found themselves at the top of the Premier. However, a defeat against Kirk Deighton started a slump in the September and Beckwithshaw were not to win again until the December where a 3-0 win against Otley resoted some hope of surviving the drop. However, it wasnt to be. A run of bad results at the end of the season meant the Saints finished bottom. Down, but not out, the majority of the players vowed to continue in Division One to help restore some pride at the Village Ground and repay fans loyalty.

The Premier Division at the end of 06-07 looked like this.

The story so far
The Saints were all set for a big campaign in what most believed would be a title winning season. However, not everything has gone to plan. David Ramshaw stepped down as player coach and was replaced by long term injury casualty and midfielder stalwart, Dan Ridgway. Steve Lawrence again agreed to manage the team, but he resigned after 6 games of the season gone due to work commitments, meaning that Ridgway took charge for the remainder of the season. After winning the first game of the season against Albert 3-2, the Saints had mixed success. Only a win against Yorkshire Amateur Reserves eased the pain as they slipped to 4 defeats including a 5-0 away defeat at Knaresborough Celtic and a disappointing home defeat against Addingham. Needing a change of fortune, Beckwithshaw then faced Otley Rovers on the 15th September 2007. Beckwithshaw put in a fantastic performance against a physical side and came out 4-1 winners. This started a run of a 6 wins on the trot,including a 10-2 win against Hampsthwaite United in the cup. The run was eventually ended by rivals Pateley Bridge at home. Beckwithshaw then eased some pain by recording 2 wins in 3 games, before their last game before Christmas, which was a 3-1 win over Addingham to gain revenge for the home defeat in September.

The title dream however looks like long shot and with the next fixture against Yorkshire Amateur away in January, it could prove to be a difficult new year.
