Beaufort County Council confirmed the property tax rates budgeted in June, deciding Monday against a millage increase for debt service.
Instead, the county will transfer about $700,000 from its reserve fund to pay debt interest.
The move will still leave the county with cash reserves of about $4.5 million, according to Finance Committee Chairman Stu Rodman.
The council Monday approved a resolution setting millage rates of 40.21 for county operations, 4.57 for county debt and 2.76 for property purchases. Another resolution set millage rates of 90.26 for school operations and 26.0 for school debt.
It also established various millage rates for the five county fire districts, including the Bluffton Fire District at 19.67 for operations and 0.38 for debt service.
"These are the same millage rates we discussed in June," Rodman said. "We should proceed without revisiting millage."
However, Councilman Jerry Stewart reminded his colleagues a tax increase may be necessary in the future.
"I do not think it's a good practice to take operating funds to finance debt, just like it's not allowed to use debt for operations. It works both ways," Stewart said.
"I know we're committed to no tax increase across the board. We're sort of at the nth hour now and I would hope that in the future we would take this up earlier," he said.
"I understand it's difficult, without raising taxes, to deal with it any other way. We're already keeping things down to the bare bones," Stewart said.
A mill for fiscal year 2012 is estimated to generate about $1.575 million in revenue, according to county Chief Financial Officer David Starkey.
The mill value translates to property taxes of about $10 per mill on a $251,000 house, the median value in Beaufort County, according to county Administrator Gary Kubic.
The council approved county and school district operating budgets in June. But it customarily doesn't set the millage rate, which determines how much property tax is collected to pay for operations and debt service, until August when it has a better idea of assessed property values.
The 40.21 millage rate would generate about
$72.3 million in ad valorem tax revenue for county operations. The remainder of the county's $96 million operating budget would come from other revenue sources, Starkey said.
The school district's 90.26 million millage rate would generate about $114.9 million for operating expenses.
A school district mill generates only about
$1.234 million because primary homeowners, taxed at 4 percent for county operations, are exempt from school operations taxes. School districts, by state law, only collect taxes from second homes and commercial property.
School Board Chairman Fred Washington said the county school district has been hurt by a state-mandated property tax rollback to the tune of about $5.6 million since 2009.
"We will continue to face serious deficits in the future," Washington said.
"We have cut a total of 169 positions, local jobs, and further reductions will be necessary," he said.
"Despite these reductions, our district has demonstrated consistent gains in academic success," he said.
"I urge you to find financing solutions for the good of our children," Washington said. "The track that we're on now dooms us to not be able to provide for the needs of the children of Beaufort County."
The millage rates reflect the council's stated policy of not increasing taxes, despite declining property values, according to Chairman Weston Newton.
"This represents a no mill increase," Newton said.
Kubic said his staff followed the council's directive to balance the budget without a tax increase, but couldn't do so without using reserve funds.
He urged the council to create a mandatory reserve ordinance.
"When we get down to this point, just before we decide mills, issues like a reserve policy would be of great help to my administration," Kubic said.
"We don't have a policy saying what our reserve status should be; without an ordinance, it will always be subject to debate," he said.

Neurological Disorders
Some more serious diseases can also lead to swallowing problems and saliva choking episodes. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is one example. ALS is a fatal neurological disorder that affects a person's ability to use certain muscle systems. As the nerves die, the ability to perform basic bodily functions or movements becomes impossible.

Black Bottom Entrepreneur: The Entrepreneur Mindset In today's climate, long-¬-term private and public employment opportunities are becoming scarce throughout urban communities, especially cities such as Detroit, Southfield, Oak Park, Pontiac, Flint, and Saginaw with majority African American populations. People are now finding themselves without the means to pay the rent, the mortgage, and the car note, let alone keep insurance. Residents have to drive far into suburban neighborhoods just to find quality food, commodities, goods, and cheap gas prices. To speak frankly, folks have got it real bad in certain parts of the state. However, because of their survival instincts, the relentless spirit to not fail in life, and the burgeoning desire to provide for our families, we are developing the entrepreneur mindset.
In the early 1920s, French settlers farmed in an area known for its dark, fertile soil and low elevation named "Black Bottom." Black Bottom eventually became one of the most entrepreneurially driven African American communities in Detroit pre-¬- integration. During the great migration of the 1900s, many African Americans from the south migrated north for gainful employment, but faced extreme racial segregation and discrimination; this forced them to settle in the Black Bottom district. The district reached its entrepreneurial peak in the 1920s, with more than 350 businesses, including 17 physicians, 22 lawyers, 22 barbershops, 13 dentists, 12 cartage agencies, 11 tailors, 10 restaurants, 10 real estate dealers, 8 grocers, 6 drug stores, 5 funeral homes, 4 employment agencies, and 1 candy maker. By 1951,140,000 blacks were renting or residing in Black Bottom before the community's eventual demolition, which was sanctioned by urban renewal projects and the eventual construction of Lafayette Park in 1956. History tells us that having an entrepreneurial mindset can create wealth.
Today's climate is ripe for entrepreneurship and for those who have an entrepreneurial mindset. Let me tell you why. There are more than 79,000 black-¬- owned businesses in the state of Michigan, 32,000 in the city of Detroit, and 15,000 in Oakland, Genesee, and Saginaw Counties, throughout the southeastern Michigan corridor. We purchase or consume an estimated 4.3 billion dollars as African Americans in commodities, goods, and services. If black people spent just 10% of this $4.3 billion with black businesses first, we could rebuild our communities and neighbors block by block without any help from anyone. Just do the math!
Entrepreneurs are successful because they identify what people cannot live without and make a business to meet that need. In an environment of uncertainty, entrepreneurial thinking has become second nature and entails an entrepreneurial mindset that captures the benefits of that uncertainty. Entrepreneurs are action-¬- oriented and utilize their network as their net worth. They are the people who turn contacts into contracts. They learn how and master ways to simplify complexity. These entrepreneurs can make a dollar out of 15 cents, or turn a simple idea into a multi-¬-million dollar enterprise doing business across the country and throughout the Pan-¬-African continent. We identify these savvy businessmen and women with their entrepreneurial mindset.
Entrepreneurs take advantage of unexpected occurrences, exploit incongruities, process needs of the community, analyze the industry and market changes, study demographics and the consumer climate, and adapt new knowledge to unlock the mind's innovation and creativity. Do you have the entrepreneurial mindset? Because if you do, there may be a community ready to embrace your business idea.

Pasadena mayor to Hispanic councilman: "Speak up, boy"
Isbell's comments to Wheeler are latest to trigger complaints
PASADENA - Pasadena Mayor Johnny Isbell, who is white, addressed Councilman Cody Ray Wheeler, who is Hispanic, as "boy" at a public council meeting Monday morning.
The exchange, during debate over a tax collection contract, crystallized an election season in which representatives of the predominantly Hispanic north side, who feel long neglected by city government, are pushing for change. Isbell's comment was especially jaw-dropping in the context of a federal voting rights lawsuit in which one judge has found that the mayor-backed change to voting districts in 2015 discriminated against Hispanics.
Isbell was rushing to take a vote on the contract when Wheeler interjected: "I haven't had an opportunity to speak yet."
"Well, you better speak up, boy," Isbell replied.
When Wheeler took offense, saying he should be addressed respectfully as a member of the council, Isbell didn't back down.
"Well, act like it," Isbell said.
After Wheeler finished his comments about the contract, Isbell seemed to relent, saying, "You're right, council member, and that was a slip of the tongue on the 'boy.' "
Wheeler later said the mayor had not apologized since the meeting. Isbell did not respond to messages seeking comment.
Anger expressed
It was no mere slip of the tongue to Pat Gonzales, who said she and other Hispanics had been insulted by the mayor on numerous occasions.
She harkened back to a 2014 council meeting when she said Isbell forced a north-side constituent to deliver a grievance about flooding in broken English rather than let her translate for him. Councilman Ornaldo Ybarra recalled the episode, too.
The "boy" comment "was him being racist, being bold and being cocky," Gonzales said. "And he doesn't care."
She is among the plaintiffs in the voting rights lawsuit.
The term "boy" has been used historically to diminish the status of minorities, especially African Americans.
"There's some overtones there of an ugly past when you use that type of language," Wheeler said in an interview. "This is a mayor who has … pushed through discriminatory voting practices and now is using condescending language to minority council members. I don't know how else you take it, when you put it in context.
"I'm sure he didn't mean to say it. But that doesn't mean he didn't feel it."
Ybarra said after the meeting that Isbell came across as dictatorial.
"I never want to say someone meant it in a racial manner, because I don't know what their intent was," Ybarra said. "It's probably best that you apologize."
City Hall questions
The meeting laid bare other troubles at City Hall, including a tax collection contract that presents, at the least, the appearance of conflicts of interest, and a growing void of legal advice.
Lawyer Roy D. Mease, a longtime friend of Isbell's, has held the city's contract for delinquent tax collections for about a decade. He's also the board chair of the city's economic development agency, the Pasadena Second Century Corp., which is funded by sales tax revenue.
Wheeler and council members Pat Van Houte, Sammy Casados and Ybarra have repeatedly asked for more information about the law firm's qualifications and collection rate, and wanted Isbell to consider other firms.
They've questioned why Mease, as PSCC board chair, was allowed to have the contract, which says he can't be both a contractor and an agent of the city. The contract also says the work can't be assigned to anyone else, but Mease has employed the services of Linebarger, a national tax collection firm.
When Isbell brought the contract back to council Monday, both of those rules had been cut out with no explanation. It was approved on a split vote.
Ybarra voted for it, saying the city couldn't afford to skip any more tax collections. Isbell is term-limited, and the next mayor can cancel the contract, Ybarra said.
"They wait until the last minute to do things and then put council members in the position of are you going to shut the government down, or are you going to pass it," Wheeler said.
That was the sentiment with the other vote on Monday's agenda, for appointments to the PSCC board, Wheeler said. All seven board members' terms lapsed in early March. With the terms expired, the city had halted work on about a dozen projects funded by PSCC.
Little legal counsel
The same bloc of council members who questioned the tax contract also wanted to see new blood on the board. Isbell rushed to a vote on that item, too, quashing motions by Wheeler and Van Houte to change two of the mayor's appointments, who were incumbents. Then a dispute arose over conflicts between state law, the PSCC bylaws and city charter, which appear to differ on whether the mayor or council has the power of appointment to the PSCC.
City Attorney Lee Clark wasn't in the room, though Ybarra said he'd seen Clark in the building.
For several meetings now, the council has muddled through legal questions with no counsel. Ybarra called it an ongoing problem and said council members can never get Clark to give them a legal opinion in writing.
"It's as if we operate without a legal department," Wheeler said.
Clark, whose offices are behind locked doors in City Hall, did not respond to a request for comment.
Wheeler said the meeting was a symbol of widespread mismanagement at City Hall.
"We're the 16th-largest city in the state," he said. "We have over a $100 million budget.
"And it's run like I don't even know what, a Boy Scouts meeting or something."

With the Angels trailing 5-2 entering the bottom of the ninth inning, a few thousand fans remained at Angel Stadium hoping for an improbable comeback.
Mike Trout, his teammates and the Tampa Bay Rays' bullpen gave it to them.
Shrugging off his recent batting slump, Trout launched a three-run home run over the left-field fence to give the Angels a 6-5 win over the Rays on Thursday night.
It was Trout's first career walk-off hit and his eighth homer of the season.
"I just told myself to be calm and get a pitch to hit," a grinning Trout told reporters in a euphoric Angels clubhouse after the game.
"You live for the moment, you want to get that big hit for the team," he said. "It's an unbelievable feeling when you can help the team like that."
Tampa Bay certainly gave Trout and the Angels the opportunity.
Rays reliever Grant Balfour opened the inning by walking Hank Conger and pinch-hitter Efren Navarro. Collin Cowgill then hit a clutch single to score Conger, making the score 5-3, with Navarro and Cowgill still on base.
Tampa Bay then replaced Balfour with Brad Boxberger, with Boxberger opting to throw mostly change-ups to get Trout out. It didn't work.
"He threw me one [on the] first pitch and I saw it pretty good," Trout said. When another change-up arrived, Trout was ready.
The home run provided Trout with a boost amid his recent slump. Entering Thursday's game, Trout was batting only .149 this month.
"I'm always staying positive," Trout said. "One swing of the bat can boost your confidence."
Indeed, Angels Manager Mike Scioscia said of Trout: "If he is frustrated, he doesn't show it. He just keeps going on and moving forward."

Editor's note: Donna Brazile, a CNN contributor and a Democratic strategist, is vice chairwoman for voter registration and participation at the Democratic National Committee. She is a nationally syndicated columnist, an adjunct professor at Georgetown University and author of "Cooking with Grease." She was manager for the Gore-Lieberman presidential campaign in 2000.
(CNN) -- On Tuesday, President Barack Obama was at the Capitol, joining leaders of Congress to dedicate a statue in honor of the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement," Alabama's Rosa Parks. About the same time, across the street at the Supreme Court, an Alabama lawyer was arguing that a key provision of the Voting Rights Act -- the consequence and legacy of the Civil Rights Movement -- was unnecessary and unconstitutional.
The irony lies not only in the timing or juxtaposition, but the institutions.
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat when a white bus driver ordered her to move. Twelve years earlier, the same driver had grabbed her coat sleeve and pushed her off his bus for trying to enter through the front rather than the back door. This time he said, "Well, if you don't stand up, I'm going to have to call the police and have you arrested." She replied, "You may do that."
Her arrest led to a 381-day boycott of Montgomery buses by the black community. The boycott propelled the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to prominence as a civil rights leader. And the arrest of Parks and the boycott she inspired led to a civil law suit, Browder v. Gayle, in which the Supreme Court declared the Alabama and Montgomery laws requiring segregated buses unconstitutional.
It took Congress 10 years to catch up to the Supreme Court, when it passed the Voting Rights Act in 1965.
Although Alabama's at it again with the new challenge, this time it seems the conservative majority of the Supreme Court wants to roll back the clock. Frank C. Ellis Jr., the attorney for plaintiff Shelby County, argues that Congress exceeded its authority in 2006 when it reauthorized Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act for another 25 years.
Toobin: Chief justice out to end affirmative action
Section 5 is the heart of the VRA. Areas of the country with a history of voter suppression and intimidation -- determined decades ago by a formula devised by Congress -- must submit any changes in their election laws to the Department of Justice for clearance. The jurisdictions covered include six Southern states, Alaska and parts of other states, including California, Florida, New Hampshire and sections of New York City.
Congress did extensive research before reauthorizing the act in 2006, and recent studies prove Section 5 works well in targeting places where discriminatory voter practices exist. This is evidenced by successful lawsuits brought under Section 2 of the VRA, which bars "voting qualification" that "results in a denial or abridgment of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color." As Justice Elena Kagan pointed out, "under any formula that Congress could devise," Alabama would still be a targeted state.
But neither facts, history or legal precedent deterred Justice Antonin Scalia from deciding he alone would be better qualified to do Congress' job.
He said last week that Section 5 amounted to a "perpetuation of racial entitlement" that "will be re-enacted in perpetuity unless a court can say it does not comport with the Constitution. ... It's a concern that this is not the kind of a question you can leave to Congress ... even the Virginia senators ... are going to lose votes if they do not re-enact."
So, protecting the right to vote -- not just of blacks, by the way, but of Native Americans in Alaska, Hispanics in California, and even French-speaking Americans in New Hampshire -- is a "racial entitlement." And legislative questions can't be left to Congress. And -- horrors! -- a senator's vote might be influenced by how the citizens he represents will respond. After all, that democracy thing might interfere with Scalia's judicial fiats.
Four years ago, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote, with respect to Section 5, that "things have changed in the South." Really?
Tell that to the citizens of the five Florida counties covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. This year, Florida tried to cut early voting hours in those counties. A panel of federal judges refused to allow it, thanks to Section 5. (Guess who would have been disenfranchised if the cutback had gone through?)
A panel of federal judges in Texas also knows that times have not changed. That's why they rejected, again under Section 5, a new photo ID law that would have imposed "strict, unforgiving burdens" on poor and minority voters. Under that proposal, by the way, you could vote with a gun license but not a student or veteran's ID.
Another justice, last week, raised the specter of "state sovereignty." A little history, courtesy of President Abraham Lincoln, in remarks to Congress given on July 4, 1861: "...no one of our states, except Texas, ever was a sovereignty; and even Texas gave up the character on coming into the Union..." (As did Hawaii.)
Much as Scalia and his cohorts would like to legislate -- or dictate -- from the bench, the Supreme Court can only decide if a law is constitutional. And as a Harvard Law Review essay argues, Congress authorized preclearance -- Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act -- under Section 5 of the 14th Amendment. And that makes it constitutional.

Greenpeace activists and volunteers plastered cities around the world with posters covered with a special non-toxic ink that was washed away to reveal the fashion industry's dirty little secret. Consumers were then encouraged to take part in washing away the environmentally-friendly, water soluble paint to help raise awareness amongst shoppers and passers-by about the polluting practices of big brands including Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and G-Star, with the dripping paint designed to mimic the hazardous chemicals used by the suppliers of these brands.

And a weak solution, it is
Yet another indictment of our fearless shepherds. Here's some of it;
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Missouri, September 18, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Another Catholic bishop has stated that too many aspects of President Barack Obama's health care reforms violate basic and necessary Catholic social principles, such as respect for human dignity, safeguarding human life, conscience protection, and the principle of "subsidiarity."
Johnston says that of all the ways "to skin the health-care cat," President Obama's proposed reform raises serious and troubling questions for Catholics, such that the bishop says he cannot in good conscience support it.
Out of over 300 members, only the following have had the stones to say something*? I'm getting that sinking feeling that in this case, silence is consent.
Bishop James Vann Johnston of Cape-Girardeau and Springfield, Missouri.
Bishop Thomas Doran of Rockford, Illinois.
Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City, Kansas.
Bishop of Robert W. Finn of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Missouri.
Bishop Samuel J. Aquila of Fargo, North Dakota.
Bishop R. Walter Nickless of Sioux City, Iowa.
Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver, Colorado.
Bishop Robert Vasa of Baker, Oregon.
I stand corrected. Nan has informed me that American Papist has a listing of 41 Bishops who have spoken out against ObamaCare. So my assesment that roughly 97% are silent is wrong. It's only almost 9 out of 10 that are noticably silent.

Got DirecTV back in 1998 while living in Texas because they had The Ticket. Absolutely love it....much better than my horror stories with cable.
Got DirecTV back in 1998 while living in Texas because they had The Ticket. Absolutely love it....much better than my horror stories with cable.
I'm going to give it a shot.. only problem is I'm surrounded by a forest of trees. Hopefully they can find a signal.
Direct TV's customer service is second to none.
I had DirecTV for a year when we moved to our new house a few years ago. There was already a satellite mounted on the new house, so we figured that we'd give it a try (the free first year Sunday Ticket offer certainly helped persuade me with the decision). When it worked, we loved it...however, our service was interrupted constantly with any (even minor) wind, rain, or snow. In 6 months, we had a technician come to our house every single month, but none of them could resolve it (I don't know if the dish was simply mounted wrong in the first place, or what). It was so bad that they actually allowed us to get out of our 2 year contract after only 6 months without penalty, simply because there was nothing that they could do to resolve these issues for us. We've been with cable ever since (and paying out the nose for a cable/internet/phone bundle, but what you are you gonna do, right?).
Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
I've had Directv since the nineties as well. The nice thing about this service is you can actually take the service with you- like in an RV, camping... You can mount an antenna to a tripod, line it up correctly, and as long as you have a tv and a converter box (and power), you have their signal. It also depends on what part of the country you live in as to what angle you need to have the dish at. Here in Maryland, it's a SW direction at about a 45-50 degree angle. So, trees here can affect the signal. Also, when we get thunderstorms with ALOT of lightning, and the storms are coming at us from the SW to the NE, that's when we can have issues with signal until the storm passes. Any other storms from the NW, or W, don't really affect it. Heavy snow flakes will as well as huge rain drops- like when its so tropical around here that you get these raindrops the size of quarters....
I too wish they'd get this Viacom crap fixed- we're going through Spongebob withdrawal in my household..lol
6- Time Super Bowl Champions......
2012 MNF Executive Champion
My service has only been interrupted once since having it installed.
One warning about giving them access to your checking account for automatic withdrawals, they will not hesitate to withdraw whatever they feel you may owe them without telling you when it comes to a disagreement. One person i know called to cancel service, they pretended like the call never happened, then charged for extra months, late fees, an early termination fee, and took it all from their account in one fell swoop. Dont give them, or anyone access to your bank account.
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women.
Is the HD quality good?
Are preseason games included?
no,they are usually on a few days after on replay
I was at a bar during the NBA playoffs and the rain knocked the feed out... does this happen a lot?
in very heavy storms, yes it goes out and i have not a tree near me
There customer service is very good,but I believe you are locked in to a 2 year contract to get free equipment and install
Its not cheap either
I pay over a $100 a month for a basic package with 1 HD Reciever/DVR and 3 SD recievers
They charge you for every thing
If you are interested in watching games at home,do you have a Playstation3?
Ive read you can buy a package through DirectTV and stream through the PS3
Im honestly thinking of doing this because its getting so expensive
I wish people would/could leave politics out of a Steelers Football Forum.

* Morgan Keegan refuses to pay $333,000 in interest
* Brokerage says federal, not state, rate applies
By Suzanne Barlyn
Nov 19 (Reuters) - Morgan Keegan & Co is disputing the amount of interest owed to retired NBA basketball player Horace Grant on a $1.46 million arbitration award and has refused to pay $333,000 in interest that Grant says he is owed.
A lawyer for Grant on Friday asked the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), Wall Street's industry funded watchdog, to immediately suspend Morgan Keegan's brokerage license for not paying Grant the full amount after a nearly four-year battle over bond fund losses that the brokerage took all the way to a federal appeals court in California, where it lost.
Last week, Morgan Keegan sent Grant a check for $1.59 million, far less than Grant's lawyers say he is owed, leading to the suspension request.
A spokesman for Raymond James Financial Inc, which owns Morgan Keegan, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A spokesman for Regions Financial Corp, which owned Morgan Keegan at the time of the bond fund debacle in 2008, and which remains financially responsible for the cases, declined to comment.
It is the latest twist in a bitter dispute between Grant and Morgan Keegan that began in 2008. According to correspondence reviewed by Reuters, the brokerage and former Chicago Bulls star are at odds over how to properly calculate the interest owed in a case that stemmed from losses Grant sustained in a group of troubled Morgan Keegan bond funds.
In October, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected claims by Grant's former brokerage, Morgan Keegan, that arbitrators in the case who entered the $1.46 million award, might have been biased, prejudged the outcome or exceeded their power.
The award included $1.45 million for damages and $10,000 for costs.
FINRA, which also runs the arbitration forum in which investors typically resolve disputes against their brokerages, can generally suspend brokerages for not paying arbitration awards within 30 days. Exceptions are made when parties take the unusual step of contesting arbitration rulings in court.
Grant's Chicago-based securities lawyer, Andrew Stoltmann said the basketball star is owed a total of $1.92 million. That amount includes $464,000 in interest - calculated at 10-percent annually since September, 2009, as allowed by California law and FINRA rules, according to Stoltmann.
Morgan Keegan, however, says the 10-percent interest rate should apply only for part of the time that the case was pending, according to a letter to Stoltmann from a lawyer for Morgan Keegan. Instead, a federal interest rate of 0.29 percent should apply for the period after a federal district court upheld the arbitration ruling in July, 2009, wrote Terry Weiss, an Atlanta-based lawyer that represents Morgan Keegan, in a letter to Stoltmann on Nov. 1.
The brokerage appealed the district court's decision to the Ninth Circuit - a process that lasted for more than two years and ended unsuccessfully for the brokerage. Weiss said the brokerage only owes Grant $1.59 million including its calculation of interest, Weiss wrote.
Morgan Keegan has faced more than 1,000 customer arbitration cases over the bond funds, which invested in risky mortgage-backed securities and were marketed as being safe. The funds later lost as much as 80 percent as the subprime market imploded. Morgan Keegan paid a $200 million civil regulatory fine over the funds and a star manager at the firm was banned from the securities industry.
Some of those cases are still winding through FINRA's arbitration system.
"I've come this far and if I need to fight a little longer, I will," Grant told Reuters. "I hope to be a bright light for the rest of the people who are going through a similar thing with Morgan Keegan," he said.
The dispute over how much interest is owed to Grant could take months more to resolve, say lawyers, because the procedure for dealing with such an issue is unclear.
"There's no precedent for something like this," said Jonathan Uretsky, a New York-based securities lawyer who represents brokerages.
The federal district judge who initially affirmed the ruling could decide the matter or it could be decided by FINRA if a suspension process against Morgan Keegan moves forward.
Stoltmann, in his letter to FINRA, cited a FINRA arbitration rule directing interest to be applied at the rate prevailing in the state where the ruling was entered. There is "no carve-out" for brokerages "who continue to abuse the appeals process after losing" in efforts to overturn a ruling, Stoltmann wrote.
Grant, 47, played in the NBA for 17 years and won three titles with Chicago Bulls teams featuring Michael Jordan and one with the Los Angeles Lakers. He bought most of the troubled funds through his Morgan Keegan brokerage account in 2004. At the time, the brokerage owned the sports agency that represented Grant.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will keep pushing for an "AIDS-free generation," funding more HIV drugs and medical interventions such as circumcision to help turn back the global epidemic, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Monday.
"I am here to make it absolutely clear: The United States is committed and will remain committed to achieving an AIDS-free generation," Clinton told the international AIDS conference in Washington.
"We will not back off, we will not back down, we will fight for the resources to achieve this historic milestone."
Clinton's keynote speech sought to underscore Washington's dedication to the global AIDS fight amid fears that U.S. leadership might suffer as spending cuts and budget woes threaten a range of government programs.
Clinton announced more than $150 million in new U.S. spending initiatives geared toward leveraging progress against AIDS already achieved through new drug treatments, programs to stop mother-to-child transmission of HIV and the preventive effect of expanded voluntary male circumcision.
"This is a fight we can win. We've already come so far, too far to stop now," Clinton said. "HIV may be with us into the future until we finally achieve a cure, a vaccine. But the disease that HIV causes need not be with us."
The United Nations estimates that about 34 million people are living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS. But U.N. figures show that the number of worldwide AIDS-related deaths fell to 1.7 million last year from some 1.8 million in 2010, after peaking at 2.3 million in 2005.
An estimated 8 million people in lower-income countries are receiving antiretroviral drugs, and the United Nations has set a target to raise that to 15 million by 2015.
Funding for HIV prevention and treatment totaled $16.8 billion last year. Of that amount, $8.2 billion came from international sources including the United States, which donated 48 percent of it.
Clinton said the goal of an "AIDS free generation," which means that no child will be born with the virus, those already in their teens will be at less risk and those already infected will have access to treatment, was in sight.
U.S. funding for anti-retroviral drugs, the only treatments known to slow the disease, now covers close to 4.5 million people and should cover 6 million by the end of 2013, Clinton said.
The United States is also stepping up funding for voluntary male circumcision, which has been shown to cut the risk of female-to-male transmission by more than 60 percent in studies in Africa, the continent hardest hit by the disease.
Clinton said U.S. funds had supported 400,000 circumcision procedures since last December and announced that the United States would provide a further $40 million for South Africa's plans to provide voluntary circumcision to almost half a million men and boys in the coming year.
The United States will also step up funding for programs to help prevent mothers from passing along the HIV virus to their unborn children, providing $80 million to help improve treatment for HIV-positive pregnant women, Clinton said.
This week's gathering in Washington is the first international AIDS conference in the United States since 1990, and follows a 2009 decision by the Obama administration to drop a standing U.S. ban on HIV-positive people entering the country.
Clinton, who was met by scattered chants and cheers as she started her speech, acknowledged the change.
"What would an AIDS conference be without a little protesting? We understand that," Clinton said. "Let me say five words we have not been able to say for too long: Welcome to the United States!"
And she called on governments to take steps to reach groups most at risk for HIV such as sex workers and men who have sex with men, urging an end to discrimination which has marginalized many of the most vulnerable people, particularly in Africa.
Clinton announced a total of almost $40 million in new U.S. funding for programs to reach these groups and said the world could not be complacent if the HIV virus is allowed to spread at society's margins.
"If we're going to beat AIDS we can't afford to avoid sensitive conversations and we can't fail to reach the people who are at the highest risk," Clinton said. "Humans might discriminate, but viruses do not."

So you've decided to update the look of your whole home, or maybe just your living room or your bedroom, and you have no idea where to start, what to do, and how to do it? Don't worry; you're not the only one in that position.
Decorating a home isn't as easy as you may think, and if you don't have the skills and the time, you need some interior design help. But the problem is that hiring a professional interior designer can be costly. But the Internet is a fantastic source for ideas and hints. You will find all the furniture and home accessories you need to make your home gorgeous.
All the answers and secrets to selecting the right furniture and accessories are out there. The key is to mix styles together – classic French furniture with contemporary lamps and accessories for example – achieving a unique and stylish look. If you want a warm and inviting atmosphere that is unique to your home and personality, you can put together an eclectic selection of furniture and accessories, combining classic items and modern classics that will turn your house into a beautiful and enjoyable home.
Here are some vital points to take into account when renovating the look of your home:
Soft Furnishings – Soft furnishings make a room feel warm and comfortable. They are an easy and inexpensive way to change your surroundings. Throws and cushions thrown casually over a sofa or chair add texture and warmth, while a beautiful rug will transform the look of the whole room.
Mirrors – Mirrors add depth to your surroundings, and more importantly they create that fantastic illusion of space in small and dark areas, creating a more welcoming and warm space. A beautiful mirror can easily become the focal point in a room, reflecting light and making the room look bigger and brighter. If you have a beautiful fireplace you can embellish it with an over-mantle mirror.
Lighting – Lighting is one of the most important aspects in interior design. The way you light a room can change the whole ambience at a flick of the switch. Create different moods in your home and light your favorite corners with floor lamps. Table lamps highlight small decorating objects – such as vases or candelabras – and they concentrate light for reading.
In brief, interior design is important and it isn't an easy job. So spend more time reading interior design magazines, surfing the web, and collect all the ideas you like, and turn your house into the home of your dreams (HOME SWEET HOME).

Brief Synopsis
A singer with a criminal past gets drawn back into the mob.
One morning in New Orleans' French Quarter, Danny Fisher quarrels with his sister Mimi about their father, whom Danny considers a weakling and blames for their economic straits. When Mimi chides Danny about his job as a janitor in a strip club, Danny retorts that one man in the family has to work. Danny and Mimi resolve not to argue, however, as Danny is to graduate high school that day, an eagerly anticipated event because he was held back the previous year. Danny then goes to the Blue Shade Club, owned by gangster Maxie Fields, to clean and winds up rescuing Ronnie, Maxie's mistress, from two violent men whom Maxie had ordered Ronnie to "entertain." After climbing into a taxi, the drunken Ronnie insists on a kiss before Danny leaves, an incident witnessed by several students in front of the school. When one boy taunts Danny, the quick-tempered Danny slugs him and is sent to Mr. Evans, the principal. Mrs. Pearson, the teacher who held back Danny the previous year, is angered by his fighting and refuses to let him graduate. Evans tries to convince Danny to return to school the following year, but Danny explains that he must work. Danny also relates that after his mother's death three years earlier, his father sank into a depression, lost his drugstore and has been unable to hold a job. As Danny walks home, he is attacked by Shark, the older brother of the boy he hit, and Shark's minions, Dummy and Sal. Danny quickly disarms Shark, and the older boy, admiring the way Danny fights, invites him to join them for an upcoming job. Danny demurs and goes home, where Mr. Fisher assures him that he is proud of him, even though he has heard about his dismissal. Fisher promises Danny that he will get the job for which he is interviewing the next day and tries to make him promise that while he works, Danny will attend school, but Danny rejects his proposition. The next day, Danny returns to Shark's hangout and agrees to help them rob the neighborhood five and dime. Guitar in hand, Danny sings in the store and distracts the clerks and patrons while Shark and his men pilfer a large quantity of loot. Clerk Nellie spots the shoplifters and deduces that Danny is in on the scheme, but does not alert the manager because she is attracted to Danny. Meanwhile, Fisher goes to the pharmacy about the job, and after begging for a chance, is hired by pharmacist Primont. That night, at the Blue Shade, Danny incurs Maxie's wrath by his attentions to Ronnie, who states that she had heard the young man sing once and compliments his voice. Hoping to embarrass Danny, Maxie forces him to sing, but Danny wows the crowd with a dynamic performance. Charlie Le Grand, the owner of the King Creole nightclub, is impressed and offers Danny a job, but Danny, riled by the situation, leaves when Charlie and Maxie begin threatening each other over who will control Danny. Danny goes to pick up Nellie after she gets off work and, mistakenly assuming that she "knows the score" because she obviously likes him so much, takes her to a hotel. Nellie's confusion shames Danny, and after apologizing, he walks her home. In the morning, Danny goes to the pharmacy to wish his father good luck, and is revolted by Fisher's subservience to the overbearing Primont. Danny then approaches Charlie about the singing job and warns that he will have to convince his father to allow him to work. Charlie comes to dinner that night, and although Fisher remains adamant that Danny should not work, Charlie and Mimi begin a romance. After another argument with his father, Danny begins singing at the King Creole and is a big hit. Danny also dates Nellie, although he advises her not to fall in love with him, as he is not ready to settle down. Danny's fame grows throughout the French Quarter but when he goes to the pharmacy to reconcile with his father, he witnesses Primont humiliate Fisher again. As he is walking away, Shark, who now works for Maxie, insists that Danny accompany him to Maxie's. When Danny refuses, Shark offers to help with Primont. Danny agrees and goes to Maxie's apartment, where Maxie urges him to return to the Blue Shade. Danny storms out in disgust at Maxie's crude treatment of Ronnie, and so Maxie urges Shark to get something with which he can blackmail Danny. That night, Shark plans to rob Primont as he goes to the bank, but Danny, regretting his instigation of the crime, attempts to stop him. Shark talks Danny into letting him proceed, and Danny watches from a distance as Shark and Sal beat up Fisher, who is wearing Primont's coat and hat while running the errand for him. Danny is heartbroken when he learns of his father's condition, especially when he requires an expensive operation and Maxie sends the needed, specialized physician. A month later, Danny, still at the King Creole, has been attempting to repay Maxie for the physician's services, and anticipates his father's return from the hospital. Maxie again sends for Danny but when Danny arrives, he finds Maxie passed out and Ronnie drunk. Ronnie informs Danny that Maxie has ordered her to "befriend" Danny, but Danny refuses to play along, even though Ronnie warns him that Maxie will punish her if she fails. Danny and Ronnie are interrupted by a revived Maxie, who threatens to reveal to Fisher his son's involvement in his beating if Danny does not return to the Blue Shade. Danny performs one last show at Charlie's then prepares to leave, telling Charlie and Mimi only that he received a better offer from Maxie. The next day, Danny is warned by Dummy that Fisher is with Maxie. At Maxie's, Fisher is attempting to persuade the gangster to release Danny when he recognizes Shark, and Maxie sadistically reveals Danny's part in the attack on him. Danny arrives as his father is exiting and, seeing the look on his face, rushes to Maxie's in a rage. Danny and Maxie engage in a fierce fistfight, with Danny leaving after he knocks out Maxie. Danny is then pursued by Shark and Sal and is injured in their subsequent brawl, although he manages to escape. Ronnie takes Danny to a remote shack, and after a few days, Danny recovers. The couple is enjoying a quiet day together when Dummy and Maxie arrive, and Maxie shoots Ronnie. After Maxie misses Danny, however, Dummy struggles with Maxie for the gun and kills Maxie. Ronnie then dies in Danny's arms, and later, Danny returns to the King Creole. As Danny sings before a packed house, which includes Mimi, Charlie and Nellie, he is gratified to see his father enter and smile at him.

If you are looking for a rug to make your home décor complete then nothing beats the style and elegance of a traditional rug. Traditional rugs are usually used in large spaces such as living rooms or dining rooms.
Traditional rugs add a sophisticated elegance to any room and a majestic feel through their unique designs and shades. If you have an antique style of décor then choosing traditional rugs for your floors is the icing on the cake. The meticulous detailed design and patterns found in traditional rugs just can't be beaten by any other type of rug in the market.
A true traditional rug is handmade, it is crafted by hand - either hand tufted, or hand knotted. In recent years some manufacturers have started to produce these rugs using machines and synthetic fibres like polypropylene, making them more affordable.

Hey Doctor, I feel like Iam going insane...It seems as if my testosterone level maybe low.I was going to my doc to get my injection...well it seems that everytime I get my shot I get very irritated with people, I also break things at times.I just get very angry...Please help me undertsand what our options as the testosterone is making me in a way insane.Is this normal to get fits of anger then followed by calmness then anger yet again and then calmness.It is like ups and downs.It sucks really.
Aggressive angry behavior can be a side effect of excessive testosterone. Testosterone replacement via weekly or biweekly injections can push the serum testosterone concentration to a supraphysiological level (levels higher than normal) immediately after injection. The level then falls gradually over the next one to two weeks prior to the next injection. If testosterone replacement therapy is warranted, rather than injectable preparations I would suggest that you use one of the topical preparations (AndroGel or Testim), which are self-applied daily by rubbing a gel into the skin.
To learn more, check out the information in the archives of the Fatigue and Anemia forum. We have a whole chapter devoted to hypogonadism (low testosterone).
I'll repost below a sample of the information from those archives.
Dr. Bob
side effects of testosterone Jan 2, 2007
I have been positive for 20 years and am on 5 HIV meds. My Dr. checked my testosterone and it was low, so she put me on testosterone. My question is, what are the side effects? I have been told it is possible for my testies to shrink and grow breasts. if this is the case, when i stop taking it, do these effects go away. Oh, by the way, thanks for the forum and the web page. Bob
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi Bob,
The most common unwanted side effects of testosterone include increased facial and body hair, oily skin, acne, male-pattern baldness, water retention, joint stiffness, increased levels of liver enzymes, a deep or hoarse voice, growth of the clitoris (women) and menstrual irregularities (women). In men, at higher doses over longer periods of time, testosterone can increase sex drive (not necessarily an "unwanted" side effect!), mood swings, aggressive behavior, persistent painful erections, shrinking testicles and breast tissue growth.
In addition, long-term use of high-dose testosterone can damage the liver, causing jaundice, hepatitis, bleeding or, possibly, cancer. There is also an increased risk of accelerating a pre-existing prostate cancer.
It's important to note that side effects from testosterone vary considerably from person to person. I included the extensive list above to remind our readers that testosterone is not a completely benign drug and should not be taken unless medically indicated.
Getting back to your particular situation, you have documented low levels of testosterone. This is a very common condition for HIVers and can be associated with a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, decreased weight and muscle mass, decreased libido and depressed mood. Consequently, replacement therapy to bring your testosterone levels back into the normal range is warranted. When you have documented hypogonadism the benefits of receiving testosterone replacement therapy outweigh the risks. I recommend using one of the topical agents (Testim or AndroGel) for testosterone replacement therapy, as it is more "physiologic" not to mention less painful than injections. You can read much more about hypogonadism (low testosterone) and its treatment in the archives. Have a look!
Good luck.

Testosterone Replacement May 28, 2004
OK, so I've been POZ now since Dec. 1997. It's been an easy, manageable diagnosis since, however, for the last few years I have been EXTREMELY tired. We ran all the tests, finally my doctor decided to look at my testosterone levels. They were very low, at 176. He said this was the cause of my fatigue and making me feel like a 70 year old. I am 31. My current viral load is undetectable and CD4 count is 1012. I'm still on my first meds of Combivir and Viramune, which I have been taking since March of 1998. I've tried Androgel, no significant response, I've tried Testim, again, no significant response and the stuff never dries, so my clothes stick to my body all day long. My doctor wants me to stick with one of these two because he tells me these are the safest forms especially for my liver. However, I'm curious about anything else that is out there that may be better and yet still safe. What about injectable brands?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hypogonadism (low testosterone) is surprisingly common in us "virally enhanced" folks. Also surprisingly, it can occur in women as well as in men!
I'm glad your illness has been "an easy and manageable diagnosis:" however, feeling "EXTREMELY" tired for the last few years is a significant "quality of life" issue. Being 31 and feeling 70 is unacceptable! I'm glad you and your HIV specialist have identified the cause of the problem. (I'm disappointed it took years!) I agree with your doctor that the topical testosterone replacements are safer than other formulations injectables or oral tablets. I agree with you that Testim is sticky stuff, and I wouldn't like feeling like a walking "post-it" all day. AndroGel works well for me. You mentioned you had "no significant response." Two things should be considered. Did you use it properly, following the directions closely? Applying it to shoulders or abdomen, and letting it dry, etc.? Second, were you taking the right dose? One packet per day may not have been enough for you. I would suggest increasing the dose and rechecking your "free" testosterone levels just prior to restarting the therapy, and then again three weeks later. Further dose adjustments can be made at that time.
Injectable testosterone is not "physiologic." That means your body is not used to getting a walloping dose of "vitamin T." Injections tend to send testosterone levels through the roof initially, and then gradually "wear off" over the next week or two. Consequently, you wind up having higher than recommended blood testosterone levels initially and lower than recommended levels just prior to getting your next shot. Sure, the sky-high levels might come in handy if you need to be horned-up for a Casanova-style weekend planned with a hottie that you want to impress. But being "the love machine" one weekend and "Mr. Microsoft" the next isn't all that desirable.
One other thing to consider if you really don't like or "respond" to AndroGel. There is a new testosterone supplement available in the U.S. that is absorbed by the gums in the mouth. You place the tablet between the inside of your lip and the gums above your teeth, and let it absorb. It might be worth a try.
Good luck.

Images from Route 66

Images from Route 66 are photos that time has changed and the landscape around us as well as the icons that were memorable to that era.
Some of these structures are meeting a rejuvenation through the efforts of private and historical foundations where other are being destroyed and to never be seen again.
Some of us remember these symbols of our earlier years and I take pride in preserving just a small amount of these historical locations that played such a large roll in developing the U.S.
Thanks for stopping by........

Lesson Plans: Hooray for Heroes Theme Unit
Explore the concept of heroism with cross-curricular, character-building activities
Children hear the word hero used today more than ever. Yet what does it mean to be a hero? Explore this concept in depth with students, then host a special day to celebrate and honor the heroes in their lives.
What Is a Hero?
Kick off your hero studies by inviting children to create dictionary entries for the word. Begin by reviewing the different parts of an entry — the word divided into syllables, pronunciation, part of speech, and definition — and having students include these components in their work. After they share what they've written with the class, record a class definition on colorful poster board for display. Encourage students to refer to this definition to help them identify heroes in their own lives, in history, and in literature, and remind them that they each may have many heroes. You might also invite them to create Hero Sandwich Booklets.
Hero Sandwich Booklets
What characteristics make up a hero? Pose this question to your students, and list their responses on a chart. Then invite children to create "hero" sandwiches to identify the characteristics that they believe are most important in a hero. First, have them cut out construction paper "bread slices." Then ask each student to cut out a few construction-paper sandwich fillings (such as meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomato). Have them label each with one characteristic of a hero, using the chart you've created as a reference. Show them how to stack and staple the fillings between the bread to make booklets. Invite student to share and compare their booklets to discover that heroes can exhibit any combination of heroic qualities.
Personal Heroes
To help children recognize heroes among the familiar people in their own lives, ask them to think about family members, friends, neighbors, teachers, coaches, and so on. Do they have special admiration for any of these people? What qualities do they admire? Why? Give children time to consider these questions, then distribute the Reproducible on page 70 and encourage them to complete it.
Hero Hallway of Fame
Children can honor their own living and historical heroes with portraits in a class "hallway" of fame. Lead students in naming some living heroes, such as a president or other public figure; or seasonal historical heroes, such as Johnny Appleseed or the Mayflower pilgrims who set sail in September 1620. As the discussion evolves, challenge children to think of other living and historical heroes they might know. They can also gain inspiration from www.rolemodel.net; www.myhero.com; The Barefoot Book of Heroic Children, by Rebecca Hazell (Barefoot Books, 2000); 50 Great Americans Every Kid Should Know, by Jacqueline Ball (McLanahan, 1998); and The Children's Book of Heroes, by William Bennett (Simon & Schuster, 1997). Next, have students create portraits of their favorite heroes using crayons, markers, colored pencils, paint, and craft items such as yarn, fabric, buttons, wallpaper, newspaper, and so on. Back the portraits with construction-paper frames, and have students title their work with the subject's name. Display the portraits under a "Hero Hallway of Fame" banner, with students taking turns as the hallway tour guide.
Parade of Heroes
After setting up a Hands for Heroes Bulletin Board (below), host a parade of heroes! To prepare, send a note home informing parents of the event, and asking each to help create a costume that represents a favorite hero. In the note, suggest ideas for story characters, historical figures, or general occupations such as nurse or firefighter. On parade day, have pairs of students interview each other to learn about the heroes that they represent, then write their interview notes on cards. Invite each child's partner to introduce the hero being represented, and to briefly name one of his or her accomplishments. For example, "Danny is dressed as George Washington. He was our first President!" Photograph each child as he or she is being introduced, then parade around the school. Later, use the photos and student interview cards to create a scrapbook.
Hands For Heroes Bulletin Board
Invite children to identify literary heroes! First, read aloud several fables, folktales, and other appropriate stories. Ask students to name the hero in each, challenging them to use the class definition to determine whether or not characters are truly heroes.
Then have children trace their hands on construction paper, cut out the outlines, and label each with a favorite literary hero and his or her heroic accomplishment. As students read more stories, encourage them to create additional hands for display.
Hero Celebration
Culminate your studies with a hero celebration day. First, help students create invitations that they can present to their everyday heroes. Before the big day, guide students in making "hero" shirts using fabric crayons, as well as "hero" ribbons to give to their guests. At the celebration, ask kids to speak about their heroes and to present them each with a ribbon. Let guests browse the hero booklets, bulletin board, and scrapbook that your class has created, then lead a tour of your Hero Hallway of Fame. Ideas in this unit contributed by Kathy Cunningham, Fred Fowler, Lynn Peters, Dorothy Giebel, Cheryl Kieloch, Jo Beth Lehrer, Joan Robson, Seth Fancey, Beth Meany, and Sue Squire at Morgan Road Elementary School in Liverpool, New York.
The Hero in Me
Give students an opportunity to think about times in their own lives when they faced a challenge in order to help someone. Bring in an empty picture frame at least 8" x 10" large, and remove the glass and backing. Seat children in a circle and pass the frame around. Encourage each student to look through the frame and describe how he or she went out of the way to come to someone's aid. For example, "I was helpful when I made friends with the new kid," or "I was helpful when John fell off his bike and I brought him to the nurse." Once everyone has had a turn, have classmates describe helpful qualities about each child in the frame. Make sure each student gets a hearty round of applause!

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 17, No. 1 June 1990 REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND OTHER PUBLICATIONS Roger Backhouse, Economists and the Economy: The Evolution of Economic Ideas 1600 to the Present Day (New York: Basil Blackwell, 1988, 224 pp. $49.95). by Alistair M. Preston Boston University Roger Backhouse's book, "Economists and the Economy", is concerned with both the history of economic thought and of the economy. His main concern is that present day economic thinking and analysis are too divorced from reality. The book examines how economic and political events from the seven-teenth century until the present day have impacted upon, and have been shaped by, the economic thought of the time. His main aim is to provide students of economics with some of the historical and contextual background they need in order to better understand the subject they are studying. The book is divided up both chronologically and by eco-nomic subject. In this respect, it is a series of histories. Chapter 2 is concerned with "Growth and Development", Chapter 3 with "Regulation of Trade and Industry", Chapter 4 with "Money and Inflation" and Chapter 5 with "Employment and Economic Fluctuations". In each of these chapters Backhouse illustrates the intertwining or reciprocal relationship between economic thought and economic and political events. The final two chap-ters switch the emphasis to a more theoretical posture where he explores the "Theory of a Market Economy" in Chapter 6 before concluding with a more general overview of the "Discipline of Economics" in Chapter 7. These final two chapters include a critical examination of the contributions made by, and the strengths and weaknesses of, economic theory. By concentrating upon specific subjects, for example, economic growth, the reader is exposed to the intricacies and interrelationships of thought and practice over the centuries, as well as how the economists of a period often differed in their economic interpretations and prescriptions. The manner in which the book is structured means that a number of economists are visited again and again (most notably Adam Smith), vividly revealing their contribution to a wide range of economic theory

"Something happens here" is the motto at The George Washington University, where I began my journey in speech and hearing. As a student who never took a political science or international affairs class, I can attest that something happens there for everyone. Being in the heart of Washington, DC, I was constantly inundated with politics; more importantly, the air was filled with passion and the motivation to help facilitate change. I walked away from college with a deep understanding that everyone has a role to play in making the world a better place. This is likely what encouraged me to join the NSSLHA Executive Council in the first place!
Each spring, the NSSLHA Executive Council partakes in "Hill Day," where we have the opportunity to speak with Senators and Representatives about current, relevant legislation affecting the disciplines of speech- language pathologists and audiologists, as well as the individuals who utilize our services. Going back to DC each spring to participate in such an empowering activity reminds me of how important it is for all of us to be knowledgeable and active in politics (not just the traditional political junkies).
I felt it was important to continue to spread this message and encourage our student members to take an active role in advocating for the professions and the patient populations that we serve. Embracing the generation of technology, a virtual advocacy day seemed like the perfect opportunity to raise awareness and participation in advocacy activities.
I think I can say without hesitation that the first annual NSSLHA Virtual Advocacy day was a huge success. In total, students from more than 50 NSSLHA chapters joined together to send nearly 1,000 letters to Capitol Hill. The letters urged Congress to protect federal programs that serve individuals with communication disorders from budget cuts.
This event is in line with a larger agenda of the NSSLHA Executive Council to get students involved early on in their careers. This includes becoming active members of their state associations and informed about local issues that may affect their careers and the wellbeing of individuals who utilize their services.
If you have any feedback on your students' involvement in the Virtual Advocacy Day, or suggestions for ways in which we can facilitate student involvement, please do not hesitate to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I hope you will keep the spirit of this one day alive and write your members of Congress today at ASHA's Take Action Center, http://takeaction.asha.org/asha2/home/.
