(Prudent Press Agency) --- Bum is a nickname, not a description. Bum Phillips became head coach of the National Football League's Houston Oilers in 1975. He retired from the league 10 years later as one of its most colorful characters of all time.

While fans of 'Luv Ya Blue' remember Phillips for his cowboy hat and boots, for his down-home Texas yarns, most people don't know he survived deadly battles during World War II, stumbled almost accidentally into football and later gave his life, during a trip to prison, to Jesus Christ. The book chronicles his transformation from a beer-drinking cowboy, U.S. Marine and football coach to a devoted son of God.

(Prudent Press Agency) --- From author Corey Washington comes a book for die hard Hendrix fans, those sitting on the fence, and outsiders looking in. Forty years after Jimi's untimely death (Sept. 18th, 1970), Nobody Cages Me! explores his unassuming, yet ubiquitous influence over the genres of Jazz, Funk, R&B, and yes, even Hip-Hop.

Jimi Hendrix is primarily looked at as a Rock musician, which is fine, but he is much more. From his seminal beginnings on the R&B chitlin' circuit to his whirlwind international fame, Jimi Hendrix took from all sources musically. The consummate musician, Jimi was looking for any and every opportunity to jam with like-minded musicians, who did not want to be caged by musical categories. Almost by chance, Jimi was involved in two pioneering performances that launched two genres, that would dominate the African-American music scene for multiple decades (1970's—present). These genres are P-Funk and Hip-Hop.

You are now better prepared for a lifetime commitment of improved health and quality of life.

(Prudent Press Agency) --- With current predictions of a possible double-digit recession in the coming six months, a newly released book, "Upside: How to Zig When Life Zags", explores how to navigate the hidden opportunities of dramatic change such as an economic downturn. Written by Bonnie Michaels and Allison Blankenship, the book features 29 strategies for readjusting your life during chaotic and difficult economic times. Strategy #19, which is very timely given record unemployment and stagnant wages, asserts that employees must reassess their own value to their employers. Incisive and insightful exercises lead readers to determine if they are "expertise vendors" with marketable skills beyond their current position or a "topic expert" who excels within organizational structures. Based upon research and business trends, the authors predict the need for independent expertise vendors to increase, and provide ideas to market these skills beyond the current employment position. An extensive bibliography and resource section give additional sources for development.

The core focus of the book moves beyond career issues to incorporate all aspects of an effective, fulfilling and functioning lifestyle. In FloridaWeekly.com, reviewer Philip K. Jason calls Upside a "new kind of 10-step program for life-path rejuvenation in chaotic times." (http:// charlotte. floridaweekly .com/news/2010-07-01/Arts_%28and%29_Ent ... times. html)
