Audiovisual Services
The Georgetown University Law Center's Audiovisual Department provides classroom support and multimedia services for the Law Center community.
In order to provide all of our community members with the resources they require, the AV Department requires that all service requests be made at least two weeks prior to date of the event and that all changes in requests be made 48 hours in advance of the event date. Failure to request services two weeks in advance may hinder AV support of an event.
For special events at the Law Center, the AV Department highly recommends scheduling an on-site planning session, also known as a "walk-through". These meetings with senior AV management are scheduled by the event planners and allow for the proper allocation of AV equipment and services for an event. A walk-through should be scheduled at least two weeks in advance of any special event and changes to requests should be made no later than 48 hours before the start of any special event.
Please be advised that the use of AV resources and equipment in support of the Law Center's academic functions commands priority over support for special events.
To request AV services, please visit http://apps.law.georgetown.edu/classroom-av-request/.

text: I'll try to give as much info in as short amount of space. I'm a 1L, top %30 at a second tier law school. I have a pretty good resume, which I think is helping me. Anyways, I was granted and interview and ultimately accepted a judicial internship with a federal district judge. Today, before I withdrew any "applications," I received a letter in the mail offering me a judicial internship with a federal magistrate judge (for the second half of the summer). I realize that by taking the judicial internship, I will qualify for financial aid, but will not make any money. I originally hoped to work for a court half the summer, and a firm half the summer (partly for experience, partly for money). However, I received the offer and now I'm not certain of what to do! I have already worked at a small law firm (as a paralegal), and although ONE firm still hasn't rejected me following their "reception," I don't have the greatest chance of BIGLAW. Should I accept the judicial internship with the magistrate judge, in addition to the district judge internship, or start sending out more resumes to medium sized firms and hope for a paying job? Is two judicial internships not as valuable as a judicial internship/firm experience? What about judicial internship (magistrate) v. non-profit? As for following graduation, I have no clue what I would like to do. Thanks so much!

The Venice Biennale, the preeminent international architectural exhibition that is now underway, isn't exactly familiar turf for the Hero Complex, but when we saw the design on display (at right) of a mobile city as envisioned by Chinese architects, our first thought was: "These guys obviously enjoyed Richard Donner's 'Superman.' " Then we heard that the entry pavilion incorporated images from the films "Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back," "Dr. Strangelove" and "The Wizard of Oz," and we decided that maybe there might actually be some unexpected fanboy enlightenment on display at the 11th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.
When visitors approach the entrance to the main hall (and 250,000 are expected to pass through that hall, the Corderie dell'Arsenale, before the close of the Biennale on Nov. 23), they are confronted with the 4,624-square-foot "Hall of Fragments." At the center of the exhibit is a glowing hourglass-shaped passage of moving images created by two giant convex screens, which flash geometric distortions of some classic Hollywood films. The vistors are watching the exhibit, but the exhibit is also watching them; the images change with the size, density and speed of the crowd passing through.
The "Hall of Fragments" was created by David Rockwell (the founder of the Rockwell Group in New York and the architect behind the Kodak Theatre, Nobu and the W Hotels) in collaboration with Reed Kroloff and Casey Jones. We invited Rockwell to write a bit about "Hall of Fragments" (which sounds vaguely Kryptonian to us), and he told us that, when it comes to inspiration, there's no place like home.
The first movie I ever saw was "The Wizard of Oz."
So imagine the excitement when asked by Aaron Betsky (director and curator of the 2008 Venice Biennale) to explore the relationship between architecture and film and create an entry pavilion to the exhibition. This gave us an opportunity to use Oz as the springboard to expand on the theme of "Out There: Architecture Beyond Building," realizing the vivid crossroads of architecture and film and architecture in film.
Oz really makes me think of arrivals, even grand entrances, and how we arrive at a great city, building, exhibition or public space that just stops you in your tracks, in amazement, trying to absorb it. When it's great, film has this same impact — it has the power to take you elsewhere. In fact, our design projects insist on keeping that goal in mind as well. This transition often occurs with architecture and public spaces, when you pass through a portal into a new reality, be it spatial or environmental.
There is the dramatic departure from the sepia-toned reality of Kansas into the dream with Dorothy (and Toto) then dropped into this wildly imaginative fantasy world and the hyper-saturated Technicolor of Oz — a sensory-overload introduction to an outlandish place full of colorful characters.
Just as the journey to and through Oz is a magical dream world where the characters follow that iconic and unforgettable yellow brick road, the experience of architecture is also a journey, sometimes physical and layered and sometimes more experiential and fleeting.
Architecture can also provide a fantastic trip or departure — sometimes it is more formal and guided, and sometimes you're on your own. The same might be said about color or ornament. Oz distinguishes itself as otherworldly and magical by appearances alone, and design can do this too.
As the characters in Dorothy's dream were people she incorporated from Kansas, such references often appear in architecture or public places, in the form of memory or what previously existed at a site. On the topic of design and the dream, architecture allows for boundless opportunities to express creativity and imagination — shape, scale, structure, materials. There is a constant crossover of art and engineering.
Oz is also about expectations and a destination … components that define how we experience buildings and public space. That moment when the characters see the (futuristic for 1939) Emerald City in the distance is a place where we have all been and can relate — the moment of seeing the looming metropolis and its iconic buildings gleaming by day or twinkling by night. These are indelible images that are made all the more so through architecture.
What resonates so thoroughly through the film is the ability to establish mood through environments and scenery and lighting — all elements that play into creating space. It takes an enormous amount of wizardry to produce both films and architecture, and there are always countless people behind the scenes to make it happen. I continue to find boundless unbridled imagination of the film relevant, compelling and inspiring and try to apply that to the physicality and experience of architecture and design.
Given the vividness and permanence of the "Wizard of Oz" in my memory, and using that as one of the most iconic and colorful films in the lineup, our goal is always to create a memorable experience and memorable public space — that goes out there … that explores the universe of architecture beyond building — that actually is created and made more interesting by people taking part.

Electronic Arts has made classic FPS Battlefield 1942 free as a "thank you" to Battlefield fans. The gift is being offered "in celebration of the ten year anniversary of the Battlefield series and Battlefield 3 Premium surpassing 2 million members worldwide."
Of course, it's also a clever ploy to get more people to try Origin, EA's PC gaming client.
You can download the game here.
"When we launched Battlefield 1942 ten years ago, we had lofty ambitions to create a first-person shooter that would push the boundaries of innovation, creativity and design. We evolved the FPS gameplay formula by introducing the world to all-out warfare via land, air and sea," DICE VP Karl Magnus Troedsson said in a release. "We wanted to thank our fans who have supported us throughout the years by restoring Battlefield 1942 for a digital re-release and give everyone a chance to play the game that started it all."

I decided that I'd like to be completely nosy and ask. So, what are you, the general posters of PnPgames.com, reading? (Yes, you! And no, manuals don't count! )
At the moment I'm reading simultaniously:~
Darkness and Light (Preludes 2; Dragonlance Saga)
Stone and Steel (Book 5, Preludes Dragonlance Saga.) Because I'm a doorknob of a kender, and got bored 5 pages into it and skipped over it to read book 6. Books 1-4 and 6 took me about a week to finish, nearly a book and half a day.
Dark Water by Koji Suzuki (Last of the Ring Cycle, I think?) I loved Ring and Spiral.I highly suggest Ring and Spiral-for those who like twisted suspense/paranormal. They're both more insane than all of the movies combined. I have both of them available on my bookcrossing shelf, if anyone would like to trade. I would also be up to doing a Book Spiral/Ray with all three once I was done with Dark Water.

Advancing one's nursing education at Central Missouri can open up new career opportunities in administration, private practice, research, consultation and many other careers.
We would like to address confusion regarding the requirement of a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) to practice as a FNP. In 2004, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) published a recommendation that by 2015, entry into advanced nursing practice change from the Master's Degree to the DNP. Eligibility to practice is not determined by AACN, but by state boards of nursing, insurance carriers, and certification granting agencies. State boards of nursing, insurance carriers, and certification granting agencies do not require a DNP to practice as a FNP.

Has anyone used the colormetric test vials from LabMax?
I would like to test some Var I recently received.
Has anyone used the colormetric test vials from LabMax?
I would like to test some Var I recently received.
Any body ??
Yes. Use search function.
Search the forum.
Labmax only lets you know the presence of hormones or substances you're testing for.
It will not give you any indication of the concentration so it is only slightly useful.
Thought the same thing too when these tests came out. Figured it'd only be good to see if labs were faking var for winny, mast p instead of mast e, etc... Then saw a couple labs fail on test prop, now why would anyone wanna fake that with raws being soo cheap and readily available? Well extremely watered down test e is even cheaper and doesn't carry the pip factor that prop does... A vet would notice the difference I bet but that's a pretty good scam to make a bunch of money of the newbs. Or could just be the chinamen's fault sending out bunk raws, which still it's nice to have a backup since it doesn't seem many labs verify the quality of their raws
People will doanything fora buck or two.
What is the price of the test?

WEST SUFFIELD -- As soon as Tim and Cara Beneski heard the news on Sept. 26, 2008, they called their sons to "The Island," their king size bed that is haven for family time.
"We told them Paul Newman had passed away," Cara said. "They were hysterical, so upset."
Almost three years later, Jake and his twin brother Seamus, 12; and younger brother Eamon, 10, still are moved when Newman's name is mentioned.
"When he died, I didn't know anything about that he was a race car driver, a famous actor or anything," Jake said. "All I knew was he was the man who started The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp."
The camp in Ashford is so vital to Jake, Seamus, Eamon and other children ages 7-15 who have been diagnosed with cancer, sickle cell anemia, AIDS, hemophilia, metabolic diseases and other serious illnesses and conditions.
"It's a place where I feel normal," Seamus said. "People don't ask, 'Why is your leg black and blue? Why are you missing school? Why do you take all those medicines?' "
Jake, Seamus and Eamon have common variable immune deficiency (CVID). They have increased susceptibility to infections and require weekly infusions of Immunoglobulin to provide protective antibodies.
They also have von Willebrand Disease, a bleeding disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot, and arthritis related to CVID, and they receive care for seizures, migraines and asthma.
Tim and Cara's oldest son Chancey, 14, doesn't have CVID.
Tim and Cara estimate they were at Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford about 200 times last year for routine visits, treatments, surgical procedures and hospital stays for their children.
On a recent Saturday two large boxes of prescriptions arrived at their home. "Before insurance, for the first quarter of this year the cost for prescriptions, doctors, specialists, hospital and medical care was about $750,000," Cara said.
Tim said joy for he and his wife is "to do the best we can for the health of our children, and it's every time we can do things that a normal family does."
Like having their children enjoy camp.
"At camp, I feel like it's home," Jake said. "I feel regular there. There are children who have just what I have, and some people who have worst conditions than me. Even though we have medical problems, each of us is special in his or her own way."
Eamon, whose middle name is Charles Yaz, weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces at birth. The family's allegiance to the Red Sox and No. 8 Carl Yastrzemski made it natural to have "Yaz" for part of his middle name.
Eamon enjoys baseball and the theme weeks that are standard at The Hole In the Wall Gang Camp, which admits each of its campers for free. "Disney, cowboys; they're all great," he said. "There's so much to do and no one is excluded."
Seamus, who loves woodworking at camp, said activities differ for the campers depending on their medical conditions.
"When we play games, they're so everyone can play," he said. "If someone says, 'I can't play that,' then no one plays that game. Another one will be found so everyone can play."
Seamus went over to the kitchen table where Cara drew Immunoglobulin with a large syringe and loaded a cartridge. She then placed the cartridge in a small pump that could be held in one hand. Cara inserted three infusion sets into Seamus' abdomen. The infusion sets were connected to the pump, which would inject the Immunoglobulin.
This procedure is duplicated for Eamon and Jake for various dosages and time spans, usually two to six hours.
The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp helps the whole family. Tim and Cara say when their children attend camp, they don't have to worry about any medical problems because the staff is so trained, talented and caring.
"They have a sibling session camp week where Chancey is with people just like him who have brothers and sisters who go to camp," Tim said. "Chancey has gone to four of the camps."
There also is a holiday party in December.
Former campers and staff members from Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts have been invited to the Travelers Championship any day this week with free admission to visit the camp's tent in the Fan Zone or its Corporate Row chalet.
"We just want to say 'thank you' to everyone who helps the camp," Tim said. "We're all going to the Travelers Celebrity Pro-Am Wednesday and to the third round Saturday. And Seamus and Jake are going to take beginning golf this summer."
On July 17, Seamus and Jake will attend their sixth year of camp. For Eamon it'll be his fourth.
The excitement in their voices when speaking about horseback rides, games and every aspect of camp and their widening eyes reveal their one-week session can't arrive soon enough.
Jake smiled and said, 'Camp makes kids happy."

Lille leave it late in French Coupe de la Ligue clash against Toulouse
A review of Tuesday night's action in the French Coupe de la Ligue.
Last Updated: 30/10/12 11:40pm
It took a Nolan Roux strike deep into extra time to guarantee Lille's progression to the quarter finals of the Coupe de la Ligue as plucky Toulouse suffered a 1-0 defeat.
Toulouse had goalkeeper Oliver Blondel to thank as Rudi Garcia's men dominated proceedings throughout, Salomon Kalou and Marvin Martin proving particularly dangerous.
But the visitors' resolve was finally broken when Steeve Yago saw red four minutes from normal time and Blondel saw Roux's shot creep past him in the 117th minute.
The three-time Ligue 1 champions have surprisingly never reached the final of the competition.
Romain Hamouma scored twice as St Etienne booked their quarter-final berth courtesy of a 3-0 victory at Sochaux.
Hamouma beat Pierrick Cros with an unstoppable drive after just nine minutes before squeezing in a second midway through the second half.
Ryad Boudebouz and Ishmael Yartey were denied by visiting keeper Stephane Ruffier and progression was definitely beyond the 2004 winners when substitute Alejandro Alonso struck late on.
Victory in Montbeliard also saw Christophe Galtier's men extend their unbeaten run to seven games in all competitions.
Troyes had to come from behind to avoid elimination by Ligue 2 side Monaco, with Quentin Othon's late strike sealing a 2-1 win that sent Jean-Marc Furlan's men through.
The top-flight outfit struggled to respond when Yannick Ferreira Carrasco put the principality club ahead from the penalty spot in the first half.
But after Brazilian defender Rincon levelled shortly after the hour mark, it fell to Othon to settle the match.
Having beaten Reims in the round of 32, Tuesday night's comeback saw Troyes progress to the quarter finals for only the second time in their history.
A first-half goal from Romain Alessandrini, who scored against Nancy in the previous round, saw Rennes defeat lowly Arles 1-0.
The Breton side were given a scare, though, when goalkeeper Benoit Costil only just managed to repel a Romain Rocchi effort in the 79th minute.
On Wednesday night Ligue 1 heavyweights Paris St Germain and Marseille go head to head for a place in the last eight.
French champions Montpellier welcome Bordeaux, with Lyon visiting Nice as Bastia host Auxerre.

News Detail
It's the equivalent of a baseball shortstop getting the call to the Majors, only in mixed martial arts (MMA): former SUNY Cortland wrestler Aljamain Sterling '11 will make his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) debut Saturday, Feb. 22, at UFC 170 in Las Vegas.
The fight will be broadcast nationally on FOX Sports 1 as part of the event's preliminary card. Coverage begins at 8 p.m.
"It's the biggest organization you can fight for," said Sterling, of Uniondale, N.Y. "I did well enough that they noticed and I finally got the call."
The 24-year-old, a former physical education major who still teaches part-time at Uniondale High School, received the word from his manager over the phone roughly a month ago.
"He told me he had good news," Sterling said, assuming it was in regards to a new sponsorship. "He said, 'UFC wants you.'"
The bantamweight up-and-comer didn't waste time asking who his opponent would be or when or where the fight would take place. He simply let out shouts of joy to celebrate.
"Then it was like, 'Let's do this. I want this fight. Let's get this done.'"
Sterling, who is the regional champ in his weight class and a spotless 8-0 in his professional MMA career, will face Cody Gibson, a fighter with an 11-3 pro record also making his UFC debut.
"I'm fighting on three-and-a-half weeks' notice and he's fighting on about two weeks' notice," Sterling said, explaining that both fighters were injury replacements. "So it all works out."
|Former SUNY Cortland wrestler Aljamain
Sterling goes by the nickname "Funkmaster."
So too has his budding MMA career, which began when Sterling was a student at SUNY Cortland. A two-time All-American wrestler as a Red Dragon, he fought as an amateur during his collegiate days. That meant the majority of his spare change went to travel and other expenses.
"I fell in love with the sport," said the 135-pound Sterling. "It was a different kind of adrenaline rush than wrestling."
There are obvious differences between wrestling and MMA; the wrestling Sterling excelled in at SUNY Cortland is founded in grappling, to which MMA adds punching, kicking, jiu-jitsu and techniques from a variety of other combat sports.
Aljamain Sterling isn't the only member of his family to wrestle as a Red Dragon. His younger brother, Troy, is currently working as an assistant coach for the SUNY Cortland wrestling team while he finishes up his communication studies degree. Troy Sterling, set to graduate this spring, wrestled for four seasons at SUNY Cortland.
In a typical day, Aljamain Sterling aims to fit in at least two workouts as part of his MMA training regime. They can encompass anything from hitting pads to cardio sessions to weight-circuit work. He trains with former UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra as a member of the Serra/Longo Competition team, practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu and kick-boxing with one of the world's best.
"It's fun," Sterling said. "It's a different kind of workout and keeps everything fresh and fun."
Sterling also shares a unique connection with Jon Jones, UFC's current light heavyweight champion and an Endicott, N.Y., native. Both young fighters attended Morrisville State College together before Sterling transferred to SUNY Cortland and Jones departed to focus solely on MMA.
While he was flirting with MMA, Sterling sought advice from Jones, who today is one of the sport's biggest stars. The pair also worked out together in Ithaca, N.Y., where Jones keeps a residence.
Now, Sterling has a UFC contract of his own — a four-fight agreement to start.
"I'm going to assume that if I keep winning they'll want to extend it," he said.
Sterling has visited Las Vegas once before for a wrestling tournament during his first year at SUNY Cortland. He's certain, however, that the scene at the Mandalay Bay Events Center will be much different than a Division III dual meet.
"It's definitely going to be a different atmosphere with the fight fans all being there," he said. "I hear a lot times it can get pretty crazy."
There's a good chance it could be the next small step in Sterling's promising MMA career. But regardless of the result, he'll always have the recent phone call to reflect on — the one that informed he had earned his invite to MMA's biggest stage.
"I was on cloud nine," he said. "No one could bring me down at that moment."

Shadow Warrior, a classic FPS from 3D Realms, is coming to iOS tomorrow. The game was originally released in 1997, and was considered controversial due to its over-the-top violence and cheeky stereotypes.
Touch Arcade reports that developer General Arcade has stressed the work it put into perfecting the controls, which were lackluster in the iOS Duke Nukem 3D from MachineWorks. Pricing for the title hasn't been announced.

Lots of talk about SEPs and FRAND in Obama's decree, which means that the Obama administration contradicts everything the ITC has said. To freshen your memory, the ITC ruled that not only was the patent in question not a standard essential patent, but Samsung's offer was actually proper FRAND:
The Commission analyzed the history of negotiations between Apple and Samsung (this portion is heavily redacted) to see if Apple showed that Samsung failed to negotiate "in good faith," and found that Apple failed to do so. Notably, the Commission dismissed Apple's arguments that (1) Samsung's initial offer was so high as to show bad faith, and (2) Samsung's attempts to get a cross-license to Apple's non-SEPs violated its FRAND commitments.
In other words, the Obama administration threw out virtually everything the ITC has said in order to protect Apple. This effectively means that American companies can infringe on non-American companies' (standard essential) patents all they want, because the president will simply step in if they try to fight back.
So, I was wrong. I expected the Obama administration to be impartial and not give such a huge slap in the face of the ITC - as cynical as I usually am, I can still be naive. Protectionism is more important to the POTUS.
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
I am not sure how you think the world works but it seems to be very simplistic.
I find the notion that the President of the USA would make a high profile decision like this because the decision might mean that he could make a few bucks on a possible but uncertain small change in the value of some shares that he owns pretty ludicrous.
Obama is the president of the USA not the world, his job is to look after the interests of the USA. The situation from the point of view of that job function is pretty clear cut. A foreign owned company with a track record of copying the designs and products of what is considered to be one of the most innovative of the leading American tech companies has managed to get a US supervisory body to ban the import of a flag ship product of that leading American tech company. Vetoing that is a no brainer. If Obama didn't he would be failing in his job of protecting the interests of the USA. This is not about right or wrong it's about realpolitik and realities of what national leaders do, of what their job is.

ONE last question: Should I ask for a home warranty? I've seen some posts that looks like the HO is getting a ride to no where. It will cost the seller 350 bucks but I don't want to ask for it if it is worthless.
Comments would be appreciated. I just want to get this one right. Alls I want to worry about is what kind of bait should I used on the hook to fish at Lake Hartwell. Not how am I going to find the money to fix something after I own it.

A History of Western Philosophy: Hobbes to Hume
Harcourt, Brace & World, 1969 - Philosophy - 381 pages
A HISTORY OF WESTERN PHILOSOPHY examines the nature of philosophical enterprise and philosophy's role in Western culture. Jones and Fogelin weave key passages from classic philosophy works into their comments and criticisms, giving A HISTORY OF WESTERN PHILOSOPHY the combined advantages of a source book and textbook. The text concentrates on major figures in each historical period, combining exposition with direct quotations from the philosophers themselves. The text places philosophers in appropriate cultural context and shows how their theories reflect the concerns of their times.

When Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was released on Nov. 30, 1982, Quincy Jones' goal was not to produce the highest-selling album in history.
"Our underlying plan was to take disco out. That was the bottom line," Jones said last month while attending a fundraiser for the Global Down Syndrome Foundation in Denver.
Mission accomplished.
"I admired disco, don't get me wrong. I just thought that it had gone far enough," he said. "We needed to go someplace else."
They went places pop music had never gone before: A 14-minute music video that all but obliterated MTV's color line. The moonwalk dance craze. The Van Halen-infused "Beat It" guitar riff. The zombie line-dance that supplanted the hokey-pokey at cheesy wedding receptions for decades to come.
From the moment needle touched vinyl 30 years ago this month, dorm-room dance parties changed forever. No, check that. The utterly ordinary first single was the Paul McCartney duet, "The Girl Is Mine." No surprise that two months after its release, "Thriller" still hadn't reached No. 1.
It was the second single, "Billie Jean," that made Jackson the King of Pop and catapulted "Thriller" on its way to 104 million records sold, a figure unlikely ever to be touched in an industry that no longer subsists on album sales.
The first true multimedia album was "the ultimate crossover dream, a song both timely and out of its time," wrote The New York Times. And then there was that John Landis mini-movie takeoff on "An American Werewolf in London" that changed the way all pop songs would be crafted for the next decade. After "Thriller," every song would be conceived with its video in mind. And even though vids have long-since made way for slime-ball reality TV on MTV stations, the cultural impact of "Thriller" is still being felt worldwide.
"Everywhere we go," said Jones, "I don't care if it's Soweto or Cairo or Monte Carlo or Abu Dhabi or Shanghai, if we're at a disco at midnight, they still play that song."
"It's close to midnight, and something evil's lurking in the dark..."
Reece Livingstone, a Colorado State University graduate now living in Golden, was a zombie dancer in the "Thriller" video. You can see blood coming out of his mouth in a street-scene close-up. He went on to teach at-risk students at a South Central Los Angeles high school where Jackson visited a year after "Thriller" was released.
"One really angry black kid at the school thought Jackson was a sellout who was not content with the color of his skin," Livingstone said. Jackson shook the teen's hand that day, "and from that moment on, he was a different person. The one legacy I take from that whole experience was that, because of Michael Jackson, that kid is not dead."
It's fair to say that most people have first-hand experience with the "Thriller" craze. Denver's Josh Gaffga does.
When he was growing up on Long Island, Gaffga and his brothers put on "Thriller" lip-sync shows for neighborhood kids, each sporting signature M.J. jackets. After Jackson died in 2009, Gaffga sent a vintage photo of the "pleather" trio to the Awkward Family Photos website. Now the Brothers Gaffga are featured in the franchise's board game, jigsaw puzzle, on Target birthday cards, and, most recently, on a T-shirt sold at the Buckle clothing store in Broomfield.
Former Denver actor Murphy Funkhouser Capps lived overseas until she was 7, when her military father was assigned stateside.
"We came home in 1982, and the first thing I saw on TV was a Michael Jackson video," she said. "My first thought was, 'Whoa ... this is America? Awesome.' "
Army veteran John Paul Rojas of Denver was 9 and growing up in Sidney, Neb., when he caught the fever: "I remember sliding around on our shiny, linoleum floor in my onesies PJs with that album playing while my parents entertained their friends," he said. The next year his parents bought Rojas a red M.J. jacket with a glittery glove for Christmas — and a Broncos coat. "And I was teased more for the Broncos coat than for the M.J. jacket," he said.
1982 was a time when pop music was undergoing sonic changes, with dance music becoming more rock-oriented. Jackson's contemporaries included the Clash, Bruce Springsteen, U2, Elvis Costello, Roxy Music, Queen, Duran Duran, Thomas Dolby and Peter Gabriel. But perhaps the biggest single of pre-"Thriller" 1982 was "I Ran" by Flock of Seagulls.
"Thriller" had only nine songs, but four money tracks — a rocking "Beat It"; a ballad ("Human Nature"); an R&B dance hit ("Wanna Be Starting Something"); and, of course, the title jam. But "Thriller" was not many critics' pick as the best album of 1982. Most preferred Prince's electro-sex-funk pioneering "1999" double-album.
Livingstone remembers Jackson as being "a little pissed" by the lack of artists of color on MTV at the time and said Jackson enjoyed breaking through that barrier.
Jones said the 30th anniversary of "Thriller" will likely pass without fanfare because of Jackson's death. He says he has been unable to come to any kind of meaningful resolution on Jackson's death.
"It's just tragic that somebody had to leave us at 50 years old," said Jones, who was in Luxembourg when Jackson died. "I was there at the invitation of the duke and duchess. There was a band that gave us a wonderful reception at the airport, and on the way into town, the duke told me, 'Oh, by the way, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon and Michael Jackson just died.' It just knocked me off my socks... .
"Michael had it all: Talent, grace, professionalism and dedication. He was the consummate entertainer, and his contributions and legacy will be felt forever."

Five facts about "Thriller"
*"Billie Jean" was inspired Hall & Oates' "I can't Go For That." Jackson lifted the bass line, and the song was reportedly re-mixed 91 times.
*It took Eddie Van Halen 15 minutes to come up with the guitar solo on "Beat It."
*The video for "Beat It" featured real life gang members, Crips and Bloods. It was Jackson's idea, as a way of creating peace between them.
*Playboy centerfold Ola Ray landed the part of Jackson's girlfriend in the "Thriller" video after "Flashdance" star Jennifer Beals turned it down.
*The red jacket Jackson wore in the "Thriller" video sold at a 2011 auction for $1.8 million.

Hello. This is a really great magazine, and a great website. Here in the USA, we don't have any mags of this quality that I am aware of. I would love to subscribe, but, by the time I pay the exchange rate, and the difference in our currencies, it is more expensive for me than to truck to the bookstore every month for the latest copy.
I am having a problem with the Suse 9.2 coverdisk though. I installed great and runs really great except for 1 issue.
If the PC sits idle for 20 to 30 minutes, the dumb thing locks up so that I have to pull the power to get control again. I have 4 different removable hard drives in this so I can play with different distros. I have Mandrake 9.2 & Ubuntu running on 2 of the HD's right now, also (don't hate me!) XP Pro for a certification book that I am working thru right now. All of these run just fine. They keep running for hours/days without any lockups.
Any ideas? This is a 500 MHz proc. with 256 MB RAM, the HD that I have the Suse on is 20 or 30 Gig, and I have just PCI video, and PCI eth0 card installed.
Thanks for any help!

With Novel Hall under threat of being closed and demolished, every performance there is taking on added poignancy. So it is fitting that Briton Akram Khan, who has contributed so much to the Novel Hall dance series since his first appearance in Taipei under its auspices in 2002, should be bringing his acclaimed solo show DESH as the second and final work in this year's series, even if the show is being held at the National Theater, not Novel Hall.
Khan was last seen in Taipei almost a year ago, when he joined forces with Taiwanese dancer extraordinaire Sheu Fang-yi (許芳宜) to perform Gnosis as part of her "Timeless" show at the National Theater. Their performances were even more memorable than when he first performed Gnosis at Novel Hall in May 2010 with Japanese Taiko drummer Yoshie Sunahata.
Khan arrived in Taipei yesterday with a schedule filled with meetings with press, rehearsals and an audition for dancers for his London-based company. Elaine Huang (黃麗宇), Novel Hall's public relations manager, said more than 80 dancers had eagerly signed up for today's audition.
However, dancers and non-dancers alike have been eagerly awaiting DESH since it was first announced that Khan would be bringing it to Taipei. The 2011 work is probably Khan's most personal to date, with critics in London and elsewhere declaring it his masterpiece.
The 39-year-old London-born Khan, who originally trained in Kathak, a form of Indian dance that combines dance and storytelling, went on to study ballet, contemporary dance and physical theater at university. His creations, whether focused on classical Kathak, or productions like Gnosis and Bahok, and whether solo, duet, or ensemble, have maintained that storytelling center.
What: DESH by Akram Khan
When: Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm, Sunday at 2:30pm
Where: National Theater (國家戲劇院), 21-1 Zhongshan S Rd, Taipei City (台北市中山南路21-1號)
Admission: NT$600 to NT$3,000; available at NTCH or Novel Hall box office, online at www.artsticket.com.tw and 7-Eleven ibon kiosks
Khan as a dancer is a joy to watch in whatever form he is working, especially when he spins — even when he is moving so slow that one can count the finger twitches or toe taps. However, when he moves fast, he can be just a blur that is more than the human eye can readily take in. If possible, his mind moves even faster, with the quicksilver jumps of thought that make conversations with him so interesting. His mind games, whether physical or verbal, are a key element of his magic.
Making sense of the past
DESH, which means "homeland" in Bengali, is about Khan's attempt to make sense of Bangladesh, his parent's homeland, his own identity (Briton/Bengali/Bangladeshi/Indian/Moslem) and his relationship with his father. He has mined this territory before, most notably in the brilliant and moving Zero Degrees with Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (seen at Novel Hall in 2007), which was based on a trip Khan made to Bangladesh with a cousin.
This time the tableaux tell the stories of Bangladesh itself — its creation, its endless struggles with tidal surges and monsoons and its people — as well as favorite folktales and the struggles of Khan's father's life. Khan may be the only performer, but he is not the only character on stage — there is Khan as a child, a little girl, his father and a Bangladeshi everyman.
While DESH is a virtuoso solo, its production was a collaborative effort. Khan worked with some of his frequent partners, including poet Karthika Nair, who helped write the stories that Khan tells, composer Jocelyn Pook, lighting designer Michael Hulls and costume supervisor Kimie Nakano.

09.25.12: The CCRI Lady Knights volleyball team traveled to Springfield, MA to play the Pride of Springfield JV. The Lady Knights defeated the Pride 3-2 in a hard fought five game match. The game scores were: 25-22, 17-25, 14-25, 27-25, and 15-11. With the victory the Lady Knights improve to 5-2 on the season.
The Lady Knights battled their way to victory. In the first game they came in with confidences and pride knowing they were going to win. However, in the second and third games they struggled to keep that energy alive and keep the pride going. In the middle of game four Head Coach Samantha Amaral called a time out and told them "You to have fun this game and start playing like true Knights!" It looked like a light came on from there for the girls. They knew they had to win and they battled with Springfield JV. Amaral later added "It takes a strong hearted team to come back and win the entire game. I was very proud as a coach."
For the match Janny Cabrera (Providence, RI) led CCRI with 13 kills to go with seven digs and six blocks, followed by Co-Captain Annie Ragan (North Kingstown, RI) led the Lady Knights with 28 assists and 15 digs and three blocks, and Co-Captain Paula Cadavid (Lincoln, RI) added 11 kills and 11 digs. Also helping them was Meagan Del Re (Coral Springs, FL) with 14 digs and eight kills and Haley Greenwood (Goldsboro, NC) added 13 digs.
After the match Coach Amaral added "If I would pick one player as my MVP for the day it would be Libero Haley Greenwood. She played lights out today. This girl had no voice and very tired from a long weekend at the classic. However, Haley truly gave it her all in all five games. She never gave up and kept screaming even though nothing would come out. She is the player that you want on your team because she always is striving for the best and always asks me what she could do to be a better player. It could be her best day and she will come up to me and ask what she needs to do different. It is amazing and I love that kind of attitude!" Greenwood had 27 serves in five games. Amaral later commented "Haley's serves would keep the Pride out of sync throughout the match. Although none were aces she keeps other teams out of their systems, giving our team the advantage."
The next match for the Lady Knights will be this Friday and Saturday when they will travel to Concord, NH to play in the New Hampshire Tech Invite.
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

The Motivational Factor of Erasmus Students at the University
This study involved 377 ERASMUS students from the University of Oviedo in an academic year. An ad-hoc questionnaire was applied in on-line format to determine students' perceptions and opinions and to understand the motivations that impel them to participate in these activities and their degree of satisfaction. The study analyzes the process of Erasmus mobility, noting that, as a result of the stay, the students describe their mastery of the host country language as good or excellent in most cases. Academic and cultural factors, the desire to get to know a new environment and to have a European experience impel most of the students to travel abroad. Job prospects are another motivating factor, and the overall assessment of the planned stay is acceptable, good or excellent in most cases.

Editor: For years American men and women have died fighting Communism all over the world. From 2008 to the present mid-term election 2010, I became terrifyingly aware of the Communist influence in this nation, whether they are called communists, socialists or progressive, they all have the same ideology and purpose to change America. Never did I realize, that they are well entrenched in our capitol, but have nearly completely taken over the Democratic Party. When in October more than 100 organizations with the same ideology met in Washington to support the Democratic Party, the proof was there on national television. This mid-term election will help a little to stop their agenda, but will the year 2012 be the year that we will read "America R.I.P.?"
We often hear that unless we read history we are bound to make the same mistakes, I believe that we are beyond that point we need to look ahead and see with opened and unbiased eyes what is before us. We must at all cost stop this ideology from changing America to a Socialist nation. This mid-term election was not a victory for the Republicans. It was a victory for "Americanism," to restore our constitutional values and freedoms, we are the home of the free and the brave. "Freedom is not free".

VEC Seeks Power from Seabrook
NEWPORT-Vermont Electric Cooperative (VEC) is seeking to buy power from a New Hampshire nuclear power plant. The Vermont Public Service Board (PSB) held a hearing Tuesday evening over Vermont Interactive Television on the proposal, but no one from the general public attended. The sites open for participation were Newport, Johnson, St. Albans, and Williston. The Newport site is located at the Career Center at North Country High School.VEC officials were on hand but did not comment. The hearing was delayed for about 10 minutes to provide extra time for anyone from the public to show up, but to no avail.The hearing was based on a proposed contact between VEC and Nextera Energy Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. The VEC board of directors voted in the spring of 2011 not to renew a contract with Entergy, Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant's parent company. The 40-year-old Vernon reactor has been in the news a number of times for problems.The current contract between Yankee and VEC for 10 Mega Watts of power ends in March. Yankee has supplied VEC with approximately 16 percent of its power needs.The state Legislature has decided not to allow Entergy to seek a new operating permit in Vermont. Yankee's commission to operate is scheduled to expire in March of this year, but Entergy and the State of Vermont are involved in a federal lawsuit over attempts to keep the plant open and operating. At issue is who has jurisdiction, the Federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission or the state, to commission or decommission the plant, and if the state had the right to intervene.The PSB will make a decision on the proposed contract with Seabrook for 10 megawatts of power. The public may send written comments to the board on the issue.The rate in the contract is not public at this time, said Elizabeth Gamache, manager of corporate communications for VEC. But VEC officials feel the rate is favorable. Under the 20-year contract, which would begin in 2015, the rate would increase every year. But knowing the rate of increase helps VEC plan their energy portfolio, Gamache explained.VEC members will have the final say on the contract.Gamache said the hope is for PSB approval in time to allow for members to vote on the contract in May at the co-op's annual meeting.Energy prices are predicted to rise. VEC did not seek a rate increase for this year. However, rates are expected to go up throughout New England in the near future due to transmission costs.

The Faculty Council of the Faculty of Business Administration constitutes the examining body for all examinations in Business courses. In addition, the standing of every student will be assessed by the Committee on Undergraduate Studies in accordance with the continuation requirements outlined in 2. and 3. below.
Following entry to the program, iBBA students must qualify for continuation after each term of study. For continuation, students must have an overall average of 65% over their last ten courses taken. In the event that a student has more courses than needed in the earliest term used, the courses with the highest grades in that term will be used.
Students who fail to achieve these standards will be required to withdraw from the program. They may be considered for readmission after a lapse of two semesters. In order to be considered for readmission, students must formally apply for readmission.
A required withdrawal for failure to meet continuation requirements in the iBBA program will be reflected on a student's transcript.
Students who are required to withdraw from the program a second time are not eligible for readmission into their program.

At 6:28 p.m. Friday, a note appeared on rapper Lil Wayne's Twitter account: "I'm good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love."
The tweet was meant to quash reports that the hip-hop mogul was gravely ill from an alleged prescription cough medicine overdose.
That evening, a representative for the rapper would say only that Lil Wayne was at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in West Los Angeles, recovering from a seizure. On Monday, Wayne's label chief said the rapper had been admitted to the hospital March 12 for a seizure after a video shoot.

The 30-year-old, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., is one of the biggest stars in hip-hop and pop music, having sold more than 12.9 million albums and 37 million digital singles. The New Orleans performer has seven No. 1 rap albums and has won four Grammy awards, including a Grammy for rap album for "Tha Carter III" in 2008, and his label, Young Money, helped launch the careers of Drake and Nicki Minaj.

Josh Freeman has been officially announced as the starter against the New York Giants on Monday night, reports ESPN.
The former first round pick was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after losing his starting job to rookie Mike Glennon.
Freeman spent four years in Tampa Bay, three as the starting quarterback, but after a disappointing start to the 2013 season the Buccaneers decided to cut ties.
The Minnesota Vikings were a surprising landing spot for the 25-year-old as they already had 2011 first round pick Christian Ponder and veteran Matt Cassel on the roster.
The Vikings apparently felt they needed another option at the position and clearly were waiting for the opportunity to start Freeman.
This could signal the end of the Christian Ponder era in Minnesota. Matt Cassel was clearly a stop gap option but the Vikings hoped Ponder would turn into a franchise calibre player in 2013.
But Ponder regressed as the Vikings started 0-3 and he suffered a rib injury during a loss to the Browns.
Whilst Freeman is not exactly a substantial upgrade the hope is that he can return to his 2010 form and provide a spark to a Vikings team that looks set to miss the play-offs.
The logic behind the move is understandable as it's obvious that neither Ponder nor Cassel is able to overcome the deficiencies that have become apparent with the Vikings roster.
Freeman is clearly the most talented of the three, but his work ethic and leadership were called into question in Tampa Bay.
Sometimes one man's trash is another man's treasure but this move appears more out of desperation than anything.
Freeman has a second opportunity to prove he is a starting quarterback and he isn't exactly short of help. Last year's MVP Adrian Peterson is in the backfield and he has weapons receiver in Greg Jennings and tight end Kyle Rudolph.
However, Freeman had an equally impressive cast in Tampa Bay but maybe a fresh start will give Freeman new motivation; the Vikings are banking on it.
Freeman will get to face an awful Giants defense on Monday night; his road to redemption could start here.

Andrews board votes to increase utility rates
Steve Clark - Wednesday, December 12, 2012 4:32 PM
The Andrews Town Council voted to increase utility rates by approximately 15 percent during its Monday, Dec. 10 meeting.
The decision comes at the recommendation of Thurber, Brock & Associates, Inc., the municipal financial consulting firm that council hired to conduct a water rate study of the town.
To Clerk/Treasurer Bill Johnson, increasing the utility rates is a necessary measure that enables the town to adequately maintain and upgrade its utilities infrastructure.
"We can't sit here and let our utilities fall into disarray simply because we're afraid of a rate increase," said Johnson to citizens attending the meeting.
Ordinance 2012-12 and Ordinance 2012-13 proposed the suggested rate increase for water and wastewater, respectively, and both ordinances passed unanimously.
Council will now receive proof from the Andrews Volunteer Fire Department that its volunteers are being paid, reimbursed for gas mileage and receiving a clothing allowance from the trustee.
This resolves an issue for the town as it was not able to provide proof to the state, as is required by law, that the volunteers were receiving their just and adequate compensation.
Toby Stephan, of civil engineering firm Butler, Fairman & Seufert, informed council that a plan will be compiled showing the state that Andrews is in the process of planning on how to bring its signs and sidewalks into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The state informed Andrews a few months ago that it needed to bring those things into compliance with the act and required that the town have a plan, or begin working on a plan, to satisfy that mandate by the end of the year.

> Like I said I agree commercially it may not make sense. But for a project why not.
In this instance, the project is that the original poster wants to fix his / her phone. The end result being a working phone.
Now, if you add up all the time spent on this, and remember to include all the time spent writing questions on forums, researching on the net studying the video explaining how to dismantle the phone etc It is false economy. You'd be better off going into work and doing a bit of overtime, and then buying a new phone.
> I have collected the phones and other tech over several years.
> It cost me ten quid for a bit of credit so the phone can dial out,
> less than a fiver for the relay and a little bit of hock up wire that
> I already had. Compare this to an alarm monitoring service.
> I'm winning.
So have I, I still have pretty much every phone I have ever owned, but I wouldn't dream of trying to fix one of them! For example, I needed a temp phone recently. It cost me £2 if I topped up with £1o when I bought it. Sure it's a basic phone, it sends texts, and it makes calls. At first I tried using one of my old phones, but the battery was gone so it used to go flat all the time even after a full charge, which is the last thing you need.
At lot of people don't seem to know, that one of the sms settings is how long your network keeps trying to send texts for. Nokia's I have used reset this to 1 hour whenever you change sim cards. A lot of people don't realise this, and it's often a tricky setting to find. So, for example, I send you a text, but your battery is flat, so it never gets delivered. I still get charged by my network though, and then I'm thinking why didn't you reply? Have I offended you or something?

Hanging Out
Almost daily, Newt Gingrich claims that one book or another has inspired his campaign against government welfare, but the most reliable guide to what is happening in Washington now is Charles Murray's Losing Ground, published in 1984. While Murray's more recent The Bell Curve has attracted much attention, his earlier book has had far more practical impact. Murray's argument—that welfare programs helped to create the underclass and so should, on the whole, be abolished—seemed dangerously radical at the time; today, it is hard to find a politician of either party who would disagree with it. The movement for "welfare reform" (a sanitized phrase that Orwell would have appreciated) can be traced back in no small part to Murray's book. Ever since it appeared, liberals have been on the intellectual defensive.
In a sense, their predicament dates back to 1965, when Daniel Patrick Moynihan issued his famous report citing the breakdown of the black family as the principal cause of poverty in America. Since then, liberals have tried to counter right-wing rhetoric about illegitimacy, single parenthood, and "family values," but without much success. When Dan Quayle criticized Murphy Brown for promoting unwed motherhood, for example, liberals rushed to ridicule him, but in the end many conceded that—as an Atlantic Monthly cover line put it—"Dan Quayle Was Right."
With the Republicans preparing to abolish what remains of the Great Society, the Democrats might consider re-examining a text about the actual condition of poor people that was published twenty-eight years ago. Among works of sociology, Elliot Liebow's Tally's Corner: A Study of Negro Streetcorner Men is considered one of the classics of American urban literature, but outside the university the book today is rarely mentioned. Reading it recently for the first time, I was struck by the originality of its analysis, the vigor of its argument, and—even today—the freshness of its insights into the roots of poverty in the United States. The book offers a sharp counterpoint to the punitive ideas now circulating in Washington.
One reason Tally's Corner is not better remembered is that it has been overshadowed by that other classic of the 1960s, Michael Harrington's The Other America: Poverty in the United States. Published in 1962, The Other America has remained fixed in the public mind as the book that helped to launch the War on Poverty. As an exposé of the persistence and pervasiveness of poverty in the United States, The Other America was indeed important. As an analysis of the causes of poverty, however, the book was less successful. Harrington put it together from notes he made during hurried trips around the country, and in retrospect, his field techniques seem almost comic. "While I was doing research for this book in Harlem," he writes,
I was walking around with a notebook. I stopped on Lenox Avenue to take down some prices in the window of a barbecue joint. When I looked up, everyone was watching me. I knew what they thought, and turned to the two…

Mount St. Joseph tennis coach Tom Hughes was sad to see the season end after the Gaels' exceptional two-year run concluded with back-to-back Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference titles, halting the dominance of McDonogh and Gilman after more than two decades.
Mount St. Joe also has had the best showing of any team in the MIAA individual tournament in the past two years.
The Gaels' accomplishments were led by four nationally ranked players: seniors Jordan Portner, Tristan Boustany, Colin Crawford and junior Matt Phelps.
Hughes knows, though, the rebuilding is coming.
"We will come down to earth next year," said Hughes, whose team has lost only two matches since the 2010 season. "Of course, I am losing them. I can't keep them forever. But it was a nice ride for four years."
After Mount St. Joseph cruised past Gilman, 4-1, in the team championships on May 10, the Gaels wrapped up the individual tournament by capturing two singles and a doubles championship.
Tristan Boustany won the No. 2 singles title over Gilman's Cole Sutton, 6-2, 6-3.
Boustany went 25-0 over the last two seasons and will play next year at Saint Joseph's University on a tennis scholarship.
He finished his career just the way he had hoped.
"Winning as a senior was important for me," Boustany said. "I wanted to win before I go off to college."
Catonsville resident Phelps beat Gilman's Henry Barrett, at No. 3 singles, 6-3, 6-0. That match was a contrast from the regular season when Phelps needed three sets to prevail over the Greyhound.
Phelps didn't lose a match all season, going 12-0 at a new level of competition.
"This is the first time I played singles on a school team," Phelps said. "Tennis is an individual sport and you have to get over nerves and everything like that. It helps you get in the right mindset. You don't have a partner with you. It helps you mature and grow."
Hughes and Phelps have their eye on 2014.
"He is going to want to be playing No. 1 for us," the coach said. "And he will probably be our heir apparent at No. 1 next year. Matt will probably be battling out to be one of the best players in the league. It will be between him and kids at Gilman, McDonogh and Friends."
Mount St. Joseph's other title came at No. 1 doubles with Quentin Boustany and Colin Crawford defeating Gilman's Graham Duncan and Huntington Williams, 6-1, 6-2.
The Gaels' No. 2 doubles team of Will Dawkins and Mike Macari, a Catonsville resident, lost in the quarterfinal round.
Portner, a Georgetown University recruit, suffered his first loss of the season in 12 decisions, losing a three-set match to McDonogh's Jake Gober.
For some Gaels, the win over Gilman in the team championships gave them confidence and momentum heading into the individual tournament.
"I really wanted to win the team title more than anything," Tristan Boustany said. "That's what it really was about the whole year. It was great to win the team titles against the big titans in tennis, McDonogh and Gilman. Usually, McDonogh and Gilman are really seen as the country-club sports schools."

Florida lead the fight against the Affordable Care Act (or Obama Care) at the U.S. Supreme Court and lost. The Governor then chose not to seek federal funds for health care that are optional under the act. However, health care could very much be on the front burner again.
Exit polls show health care was one of the most important issues for Floridians who voted to re-elect the President. "That's the country I'm so proud to lead as your President", proclaimed President Obama on election night.
Floridians also voted 51-48 to reject an anti-health care constitutional amendment. The amendment was put on the ballot by the state lawmakers and tried to exempt Floridians from the Affordable Care Act.
Political Scientist Carol Weissert believes the amendments overwhelming defeat sends a clear message to the Governor and lawmakers. "The Medicare issue the exit polls I think found that it was pretty close but there was some support for Obama Care some support for the President's views on Medicare", says Weissert.
Florida could almost immediately bring half a billion dollars to the state at little or no cost to expand children's health care. Florida still has the same Republican Governor that is rejecting federal funds and the same Republican Legislature that put the amendment on the ballot. So the question the advocates are asking is: Are they listening?
Health care activists says the state is being short sighted and given Tuesday's vote, should reconsider not only the kids health care money, but its refusal to set up health exchanges as well. "This is an expansion of health coverage that will cover a lot of people currently struggling that are working poor basically", says Brad Ashwell, Health Care Activist.
Lawmakers meet in March. Governor Rick Scott begins a re-election campaign in earnest after the first of the year.

Charlotte M. Cooper journeyed from the town of New Llano, where she serves as a councilwoman, to Washington, D.C. to witness the second inauguration of President Barack Obama on Jan. 21.
Charlotte M. Cooper journeyed from the town of New Llano, where she serves as a councilwoman, to Washington, D.C. to witness the second inauguration of President Barack Obama on Jan. 21. "It was a marvelous and exhilarating experience to board a flight out of Alexandria heading to the nation's capital for the 57th Inauguration," said Cooper. She traveled with her friends Mary Cheatham, Opal Haynes, and Bettie Baker. Sunday, Jan. 20, was the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The women went to the office of U.S. Rep. John C. Fleming, M.D., of the 4th Congressional District of Louisiana, to pick up reserved tickets for seating in front of the Capitol. "We met and fellowshipped with some folks from Vernon Parish, and from our Congressional District," said Cooper. Bright and early the next morning, the four friends boarded the Metro to attend the inauguration. They had to make two transfers enroute to Union Station, then walked with thousands of people to a security area. "I sat in the Blue section, and Mary was in the Red section," said Cooper. "She said she was mesmerized. "My heart beat rapidly at all of the excitement, as I never envisioned being this close to the Capitol and getting a seat," said Cooper. The ceremony began at about 11 a.m. "We were surrounded by thousands of folks from from all around and abroad," said Cooper, "and the atmosphere was delightful." Cooper said the crowd cheered when the ceremony began, and an extra roar was heard when President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were sworn in. Cooper said she felt tears run down her face as the president delivered his inauguration address. "His message was timely, thought provoking, and memorable," she said. Cooper was amazed by the size of the crowd behind her when she looked back. "What an amazing view it was to see so many proud Americans at this celebration, standing shoulder to shoulder as we forge upward and onward to make this a better and more prosperous nation for all people," she said. "I have never experienced anything of this nature in my life," said Cooper. "It was surreal to be able to witness the second inauguration of President Obama." The theme of the inauguration was "Faith in America's Future," and it was also the 150th anniversary of the placement of the Statue of Freedom atop the U.S. Capitol dome.

Swimming & Diving Visits Local Hospital
BATON ROUGE – The LSU swimming team had 23 of its members visit the Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital earlier this week.
The student-athletes made visits to patients, going from room-to-room interacting with the children and their families. The team also gave out various LSU items and signed posters to brighten up their day.
"I think that it is important to do this because we are able to come in and give the children not only another smiling face, but some hope and uplift their spirits," said junior Frank Greeff.
"It is a great experience for our team to do this, because these children are our fans and we want to come support them just like they come and support us," said freshman Elliot Dewlen.
Next up, LSU men's swimming and diving team faces SMU Thursday, at 2 p.m. Both the men and women will compete in the LSU relays against Oklahoma Baptist Saturday, at 11 a.m.
