■ Here’s a HUGE tip for making the PDF download process easier: Instead of clicking on the link to open the PDF from the browser, simply put your cursor over the link and right click and choose either "Save Target As…" (in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer) or "Save Target Link As…" (in Netscape and Mozilla Firefox). What this will do is download the PDF to your harddrive. Once it’s on your harddrive, it is much easier and faster to open and print.

Sponsoring a student through APSE’s new Student Outreach Initiative is a great way to give back to the organization and the future of sports journalism.
