Few issues rile up civic-minded Web users like copyright policy – and for good reason. U.S. copyright laws are ground zero in the fight between content creators – Hollywood movie studios, record companies, software creators, etc. – and us, the Web users, who "consume" that content. Copyright is the reason the largest Internet service providers in the U.S. are about to start bombarding subscribers with notices that say they may be breaking the law by clicking certain links. It is the force that has confused the idea of ownership in the digital era to the point that it is no longer recognizable. And it is for these reasons, and many others, that so many believe copyright reform is critical for both Web users, and the U.S. economy at large.
Which is why many an eyebrow raised on Friday after the influential Republican Study Committee (RSC) released a policy brief that called for a major overhaul of U.S. copyright policy. The findings and recommendations in the study, which is entitled "Three Myths About Copyright Law and Where to Start to Fix it," were so "reasonable" that copyright reform evangelists in the technology community immediately jumped on the report as a sign that Washington may soon shed itself of the Hollywood lobbyist-imposed view of copyright, and begin fighting for consumer-focused change.
The elation was short-lived, however; less than 24 hours after the policy brief went up on the Web, the RSC pulled the study from its website. (We've reposted it below, in full.)
"Yesterday you received a Policy Brief on copyright law that was published without adequate review within the RSC and failed to meet that standard," wrote RSC Executive Director Paul S. Teller in a mass email. "Copyright reform would have far-reaching impacts, so it is incredibly important that it be approached with all facts and viewpoints in hand."
The "three myths" of copyright
The policy brief, authored by RSC staff member Derek Khanna, argues that current copyright policy is damaging to the U.S. economy because it "destroys entire markets," flies in the face of free market capitalism, and imposes painful, "arbitrary" penalties on those who violate copyright law. In short: The policy brief argues exactly what critics of copyright have been saying for years. Only this time, it came from a source within U.S. House of Representatives – something that has never happened before.
Here is a summary of Khanna's "three myths" of copyright, and why they are myths:
- Copyright was not created in order to guarantee that content creators get paid, as copyright reliant industries claim; it was created to "promote the progress of science and useful arts," according to the U.S. Constitution. Khanna adds that the "purpose" of copyright "is to lead to maximum productivity and innovation."
- Copyright is not, as some claim, "free market capitalism at work," writes Khanna. It is the exact opposite: "a government-subsidized monopoly," thanks to the massive, government-upheld penalties on those who violate copyright.
- Copyright does not lead to "innovation and productivity," writes Khanna. He argues that, instead, copyright policy has created "a system that picks winners and losers, and the losers are new industries that could generate new wealth and added value."
How to "fix" copyright
Khanna says these misconceptions and errant implementations of copyright policy have stifled a number of industries, including the DJ/remix industry (which he says has become "heavily retarded" in the U.S.); areas of scientific inquiry, due to the copyright of scientific papers from the 20th century; public libraries; journalism; and "added-value" industries, which are prohibited from transforming things like books and movies to include user-generated content such as "'VH1 Pop-up video' add-ons."
To unbind these industries and others, Khanna suggests these reforms to copyright policy:
- Statutory damage reform: Limit the amount of money copyright violators can be charged from the current range of $750 to $150,000 per violation down to something more realistic.
- Expand fair use: Allow people to use copyrighted content to create their own content more freely. Khanna points to a paper entitled "Infringement Nation," which "details how things you do every single day are infringing and leave every single person liable for billions in damages each year."
- Punish false copyright claims: Copyright owners face "minimal or nearly non-existent punishment for bogus copyright claims today," writes Khanna. He says this "often leads to de facto censorship," something he says would be greatly diminished if there were penalties for copyright owners who falsely claim ownership.
- Heavily limit terms of copyright: Right now, copyright law says that individual copyright extends for the life of the author plus 70 years. For corporate copyright owners, the period is potentially even longer: 120 from the date of creation, or 95 years from first publication. Khanna recommends limiting this to an initial "free" 12 years of copyright protection, with the ability for copyright owners to renew the copyright for additional years at a cost.
A tipping point for copyright reform?
While the RSC has disowned Khanna's report – for reasons officially unknown, but speculated to have something to do with "lobbyist pressure" on the organization, according to an anonymous source who spoke with Ars Technica – the ideas in the brief could represent a sea change for the GOP, which is currently seeking to draw in young voters for which copyright reform is a major issue. The Web-centric fight over the Stop Online Privacy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) from earlier this year has also led Congress to reconsider its relationship with Hollywood studios and other heavy hitters in copyright-centric industries.
"It's always hard to get legislation of any kind passed, but I think the chances have improved enormously since SOPA and PIPA were defeated earlier this year," said Gigi Sohn, president and CEO of rights advocacy group Public Knowledge, in an email with Digital Trends.
Sohn says that a number of Khanna's ideas – many of which have been long supported by Public Knowledge and other copyright reform advocates – could make their way through Congress in the coming months and years.
"Some of the possible provisions might include those that 1) expand fair use, including the ability to circumvent technological protection measures for lawful uses; 2) punish copyright holders who willfully and recklessly abuse copyright law and the takedown provisions of the [Digital Millennium Copyright Act]; 3) shorten copyright terms; 4) reduce statutory damages and 5) ensure that the 'first sale' doctrine is preserved in the digital age," said Sohn.
In fact, some of these provisions are already floating around Washington. For example, earlier this month, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) announced a proposal that seeks to allow consumers of movies and music to convert this content into digital formats.
Why you should care (if you don't already)
Despite the passion surrounding the copyright debate, it is perfectly understandable why many Web users' eyes glaze over at the mention of any type of policy reform. It's complicated, even boring. But according to experts on both sides of the debate, copyright is something we should all pay attention to.
"Copyright affects every person's ability to create, innovate, and express themselves freely," said Sohn. "If copyright is too strong, it makes those abilities much harder for everyone but the biggest media companies." She adds that citizens should "tell their Senators and Representatives that reforming our copyright system is important to them and that they want Congress to act in the upcoming term to make copyright law more balanced."
PJ Kuyper, president of the Motion Picture Licensing Corporation (MPLC), agrees that copyright is important, but believes that it should be respected, not gutted.
"Copyright is not a conservative or liberal issue nor is it about more government or less government," Kuyper said in an email to Digital Trends. "We should all be on the side of copyright because it is about property rights. No one has a monopoly to music or movies, just a monopoly on their song or their movie. It is no different than car keys giving you a monopoly on your own car." (Emphasis his.)
What do you think? Should Congress adopt the ideas promoted by Khanna and Public Knowledge? Or should copyright be even stronger than it is today? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. And check out the full RSC policy brief below:

The agenda for the evening consisted of our Annual September 11, 2001 Evening of Remembrance. The first part of our program began with the great Franklin K. Lane H.S. ROTC Color Guard, under the leadership of Master Sergeant Eddie Carr, their commanding officer, and the Pledge of Allegiance. The ROTC cadets now number over 150 members. All were invited to speak in regard to their remembrances of that very sad day.
Our elected officials speaking of their experiences that day were Honorable Joseph P. Addabbo, our N.Y.S. senator, recently re-elected Honorable Michael Miller, our N.Y.S. assemblyman, and Honorable Eric Ulrich, our N.Y.C. councilman.
A poem was recited by an ROTC cadet, our President Stephen R. Esposito, and myself. This September 11, 2001 terrorist attack against our America, our New York City with the loss of close to 3,000 innocent lives including three from Woodhaven, Khamladai Singh, Roshand Singh, beloved brother and sister, and Lt. Robert F. Wallace, firefighter of the FDNY, and the loss of our beautiful Twin Towers will always be in our thoughts.
As stated that evening we should "Never Forget and Commit to Never Again." Then Fr. John Francis of St. Thomas the Apostle extended blessings to those that perished that day and to those in attendance. This segment of our meeting closed with the dimming of the lights, the glimmer of red, white and blue glow sticks and the singing of "God Bless America."
It was very poignant and moving. At this time I would encourage everyone homeowner or tenant to fly our American Flag. Let us once again see as many American Flags that flew so prominently after that second Day of Infamy September 11, 2001. Our speakers were thanked for their contributions and we proceeded to our regular open meeting.
Our 102nd Precinct's new Community Affairs officer, Sgt. Abraham Severino, then spoke to us in regard to the precinct being down in crime and addressed issues brought to their attention. This low crime rate being in spite of having so few police officers at our 102nd Precinct.
The Candidates Night part of our program then commenced - the very first debate between incumbent State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo and candidate Councilman Eric Ulrich, the two candidates for the State Senate. Opening statements were made by each candidate. Then questions were asked by the GWDC board members President Stephen Esposito, Paul Rudolph Walker Funeral Home, and Mark Klimm Allstate.
The question from our president related to state funding and the Resorts World Racino profits, and where this money is being used. This brought up a very important commitment made by Resorts World that they would "give back" 1 percent of their profits to non-profit organizations. This funding, it was stated, would assist all the groups no longer being funded by state.
When the question-and-answer period was concluded, final statements were made by the candidates. Then they were presented with the Annual GWDC "Wish List" of the most important projects for our Greater Woodhaven Development Corporation. They were:
1. The rezoning of Woodhaven – Accomplished.
2. New brighter street lighting along Woodhaven's Jamaica Avenue from Dexter Court to 100th Street
3. More police officers for our 102nd Precinct.
And the Perennial Wishes of:
1. The painting of our "J" train elevated structure and the repair of the stanchions along Woodhaven's Jamaica Avenue - Accomplished
2. The landmarking of the Forest Park Carousel so that it will be preserved and eligible for preservation funding in the process. This landmarking is now being considered.
3. The further restoration of the Forest Park Carousel, enclosing the carousel for year-round use, and a restaurant in line with the restaurant in Bryant Park within the enclosure.
The Meeting then concluded. This was an excellent forum.
Now to our 32nd Annual Wonderful Woodhaven Street Festival 2012 on Sunday, October 14, from noon to 6 p.m. on Woodhaven's Jamaica Avenue from 80th Street to Woodhaven Boulevard. Bring the family for a safe, fun-filled family day.
We will have pony rides, rides and games, antique cars and a variety of vendors with unique products and our great Woodhaven stores with bargains. The entertainment for the festival will be a great country and western band, Mary Lamont, dancing in the streets, rock and mellow music by local bands, some from Woodhaven, including Heartbreak Station, Solid State Band, and Plastic Soul.
This year again the special feature will be The Malaysian Lion Dancers of Chinese New Year's celebration fame. These thrilling musicians and dancers who were so great in past years will also be part of our entertainment program. Please have some good thoughts for sun for Sunday.
May God bless our leaders, may God bless our armed forces and coalition forces, may God bless our disabled veterans, and may God bless our America.

This call-to-action article was published in Allergic Living's Spring 2012 edition. There are updates at the end.
Little Amarria was the wakeup call. We have the tool, the auto-injector, to stop the senseless allergy deaths like hers. Now we have to use it.
ON THE first day of school after Christmas of 2011, 7-year-old Amarria Johnson and her Grade 1 classmates in Richmond, Virginia bounced outside of Hopkins Road Elementary after lunch to play. You could usually hear Amarria before you saw her: she loved to sing, in church, for the video camera, in the car, at school. She would sing for anyone, and she had big plans to be a star on the Disney Channel.
For this first day back to school, Amarria's mother had carefully rolled her daughter's long hair in a bun. The girl was excited to be going back. "She loved everything," her mother Laura Pendleton told Allergic Living. "The world was an awesome, innocent place."
Then a child in the playground gave her a peanut. Amarria had always avoided the peanut butter and jam sandwiches that the school offered for lunch every day because she had an allergy to peanuts. But this time, for reasons no one knows, she popped the peanut into her mouth.
Amarria knew right away she was in trouble. She asked the teacher outside to help. That was exactly what she was supposed to do. But then the system failed her.
The teacher walked Amarria to the school's health clinic, where an aide searched for an epinephrine auto-injector with Amarria's name on it. An auto-injector shoots epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, into the body. The drug can stop a severe allergic reaction outright or buy enough time for paramedics to arrive. Amarria desperately needed that shot of life; in the minutes after she arrived at the clinic, she was struggling to breathe. But the clinic did not appear to have an auto-injector prescribed for Amarria.
A Child Runs Out of Breath
Over the next few minutes, the girl ran out of breath, right there in the clinic. Just before 2:30 p.m., the school called 911, but by the time firefighters and police arrived, Amarria's heart was failing. The rescuers tried CPR; they tried to restart her heart with a defibrillator. They rushed her to Chippenham Hospital, but it was too late. Amarria was pronounced dead shortly after she arrived. The cause of death: anaphylaxis and cardiac arrest.
It is such a senseless, heartbreaking loss of a little girl so full of life. But beyond the tragedy, this disturbing issue has emerged: there were likely auto-injectors prescribed to other students in the Hopkins Road Elementary clinic. (Allergic Living has learned this was likely the case, though the school board declines to comment on specifics.) If an auto-injector was there, however, the aide was not allowed to use it. Why?
"Many of our students [in Chesterfied County] have EpiPens at school," acknowledged Shawn Smith, the board's spokesman. "It's illegal to give a prescription drug to someone else," he said.
The staff at the county's public schools are instructed that they are only allowed to use an epinephrine auto-injector if it is specifically prescribed by a doctor for the child in question and if the school has the child's written action plan for allergy emergencies. "Absent those two," Smith said, "we're unable to carry out the doctor's [verbal] orders."
IT SEEMS unthinkable not to give a child life-saving medicine, and yet most counties and states are vulnerable to such a situation. They don't have to be.
Amarria should be the last child to die in America of anaphylaxis at school. This isn't some far-out dream that requires a medical breakthrough in the distant future. It can happen right now, with existing technology. People with life-threatening allergies, parents and the staff at school all need to know that these deaths can be prevented. Amarria likely would be alive today if someone had used an epinephrine auto-injector to save her life.
It's an easy procedure: all you have to do is pull off the safety cap, ram the device's tip against the outside of the person's upper thigh, and hold it there for 10 seconds. The EpiPen and other brands are even designed to go through clothes. Although epinephrine is a drug, numerous scientific studies have shown that it is highly safe to use. What is not safe is withholding the epinephrine, or putting off giving the shot. That can be deadly, as it was for Amarria.
What's Standing in the Way?
With anaphylaxis, we know the prompt use of epinephrine in the first minutes of an attack is literally a shot of life. So what's standing in the way?
Three things: First, you need to have an auto-injector available. Second, you need to know when to use it. And third, you need to take a breath and just use it when that moment arrives.
It wasn't only Amarria who didn't have her own auto-injector at school that day. Canadian researchers surveyed adults with food allergies and parents of allergic children to discover that only about half of them carried an epinephrine auto-injector. Since this condition can rapidly incapacitate a child or an adult, the patient, parents, friends, teachers or colleagues, and even the broader community need to know both what anaphylaxis looks like – and what to do. They need to know that the auto-injector is the first line of defense – not an antihistamine, not waiting to see what happens.
Yet people hesitate before using the device. Some are phobic about the needle; an estimated 10 per cent of the population admits to a fear of needles. "A lot of people are afraid of the needle," says Gina Clowes, founder of Allergymoms.com and a parenting coach who has counseled hundreds of parents of allergic kids.
But, she notes, "if there's anything worse than injecting a child, it's not having the medicine. When it hits the leg, it's just a click."
A Mere 27% Used An Auto-Injector
To gain insight into the resistance to using the auto-injector, allergist and anaphylaxis expert Dr. Estelle Simons and Harvard epidemiologist Dr. Carlos Carmago conducted a survey in 2009 of 1,885 people who had suffered anaphylaxis. The symptoms must have been scary, yet only 27 per cent of the people who experienced anaphylaxis used an auto-injector; 73 percent, or almost 1,400 of the patients, did not.
Why? Among the reasons given, 38 percent opted for an antihistamine; 28 per cent said they didn't have a doctor's prescription; while 13 percent perceived their episode to be "mild" anaphylaxis. Clearly, many still do not know the facts about this life-saving tool.
People are also wary of taking a drug, and especially giving one to someone else's child. Is this concern well-founded? The leading allergists in the United States say the real danger lies in waiting to give the drug, not in giving it.
"Failure to administer epinephrine early in the course of treatment has been repeatedly implicated in anaphylaxis fatalities," say the new allergy practice guidelines issued by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Sure, the report says epinephrine can cause anxiety, fear, restlessness, headache, dizziness, palpitations, pallor or tremor. Rarely, it can lead to heart trouble, but that's not likely unless you overdose, which won't happen if you use an auto-injector.
Now compare those side effects with the risk of waiting: One study looked at 13 fatal and near-fatal cases of anaphylaxis. Of the seven who survived in this group, six had taken epinephrine within 30 minutes of eating the food allergen.
The upshot: epinephrine is not foolproof, but it's your best chance of surviving if you are succumbing to anaphylactic shock. "It's a safe medication," says Dr. Scott Sicherer, chief of allergy and immunology in the pediatrics department of New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine. "Even if you accidentally use it, that's OK."

There are several reasons that individuals take the time to completely bring back 1969 ford mach mustangs for vehicle shows and personal pleasure. One of the primary factors people spend so much time, energy, and cash bring back 1969 ford mach mustangs is the power that is contained because particular mustang model. The engine upgrades that were offered during the launch of the 1969 ford mach mustang for sale in Uxbridge MA changed the mach mustang from the typical family vehicle into a racing enthusiasts dream.
Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the vehicle was presented to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's third earliest nameplate currently in production. After it was seen on television and in print it was wanted by every blue blooded American. Everyone wanted to be the first to buy A mustang in Uxbridge MA.Original sales forecasts forecasted less than 100,000 units for the very first year. This mark was gone beyond in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold throughout the design year (a record), and in its very first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were developed.
Buy Vintage Ford Mustangs
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, however numerous modifications were made at the traditional opening of the brand-new model year (beginning August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the introduction of alternators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some unusual peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design below a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These qualities made sufficient difference to warrant classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has actually sustained with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Uxbridge MA are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more rigid contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the first time in automobile history that the Big 3 were needing to compete with imports. The new Mustang II was smaller sized than the first version but, due to the extra devices needed to satisfy new United States emission and safety policies, was much heavier than the first design. Performance was lowered and in the very first year only 385,993 cars were offered.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Uxbridge MA were offered in between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was redesigned a 3rd time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was truly large enough for four people. The trunk was bigger and so was the engine bay. The body designs readily available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 speed car and Ford built 10,478 celebratory reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Starring: Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor, Ameesha Patel
Directed by Abbas-Mustan
Rating; **
Everyone is busy deceiving everyone else in this paper caper, which probably looked tempting in the writing but comes across on screen as a monstrous masquerade of hedonistic hijinks filmed on exotic places where men and women play for high stakes, live dangerously and die foolishly. They deserve it.
Abbas-Mustan's love for depicting the high life is by now as well-known as David Dhawan's penchant for guffaws. Everyone in an Abbas-Mustan caper takes his or her life at the race course seriously when in fact the characters are all an extended joke. They are comicbook cut-outs pasted on to the big wide screen with all their exaggerations blown out of proportion.
It's hard to pinpoint where the leakage in this latest Abbas-Mustan adventure-caper begins to seep septically into the plot. But you know there is something serious amiss in the plot when one of the protagonists Saif Ali Khan deadpans, "Revenge is best served cold."
Really? If that were indeed the case then the volumes of vendetta served up by disgruntled men and women in Race 2 should have made our adrenaline...er...race really hard. Everyone says the 'R' word with a special stress savouring the word 'race' like a Caucasian tea-planter talking about his favourite slave in the 19thcentury.
Alas, the proceedings are as exciting as graffiti in the toilet scrawled endlessly over a newly-polished and painted wall. The uni-expression macho man John Abraham loves the leggy Deepika Padukone who loves the scowling Saif Ali Khan who loves Jacqueline Fernandes. In the end, though, these self-serving hedonists seem to love none but themselves.
Boring in their self-absorption and utterly oblivious of the world around them where pain and suffering are to be obtained once the fun and games end, these characters are busy striking artificial poses in carefully-toned bodies draped in the best dresses and suits created for the rich and the restless.
These are the nowhere people searching for thrills in a plot that revels in restlessness and seeks succour in making suckers out of all the characters. The only mildly interesting characters are the brassy detective played by Anil Kapoor and his air headed secretary Ameesha Patel. Anil keeps making phallic jokes with Ameesha who flutters her eyelashes pretending she doesn't know why the banana is mentioned so many times.
Years ago when Anil Kapoor sang a lewd song Khada hai khada hai in a David Dhawan comedy, he claimed he didn't know what it meant. Is he again going to feign ignorance?
I am not even going to wonder what the rest of the cast was thinking when it agreed to be part of this moronic caper. Everyone seems to have focused on the zeroes on their cheques letting the writer and director do the rest of the thinking.
Sadly the holiday mood that prevails through the film grips the film's architects. They seem to be on leave as the action director takes over the proceedings. To be fair a couple of chase sequences specially one through the crowded streets of Istanbul where Saif hunts down his beloved's killer, are killers. But the climax on board a fake luxury aircraft, is a howl. Amateur adventurers getting a kick out of their big-boy antics, John and Saif are to be taken as seriously as Superman and Batman cut-outs in a multiplex displaying forthcoming attractions.
The girls Deepika and Jacqueline try hard to pump up the steam by raising the mean quotient in their characters. They hardly look provocative enough to be convincing as femme fatales. As for the heroes Saif looks like he decided to play a more somewhat more smirky avatar of Agent Vinod. I kid you not. John alternates the scowl with the smirk sometimes interchanging the two expressions without warning. Can't blame him, poor chap. He must be as confused about the plot as we are.
Does anyone associated with this posh-looking but vacuous caper have any clue as to what they are doing in the plot? In January 2012 Abbas-Mustan had done another caper Players where the characters double crossed one another until we went cross-eyed trying to figure out who was doing whom.
Don't even try to reason out the characters' motivation in Race 2.Drowned in a cacophony of one off-key song after another, wallowing in their one-note wickedness and getting high on their endless bouts of drinking, partying and masquerading, the characters in Race 2 are a laugh. But shhhh. Don't tell them.
By the way, why do we need to import off-key singers from across the border to sing for our heroes? Don't we have enough of them at home?

By Loren Pritchett, ChildFund staff writer
In the 30 seconds it took him to watch the ChildFund commercial, Pete Olson, Formula car racer, knew he wanted to sponsor a child. The decision was quick, but he was no stranger to speed.
Fast forward more than a decade later and, today, Olson is supporting his third sponsored child and racing in the name of children in need. Behind the wheel, he is in control but admits that compassion is really what drives him.
"It's an incredibly rewarding experience," he says. "You can change a child's life and give them opportunities that many of us take for granted."
Opportunities like getting a quality education and receiving proper nutrition are among those Olson knew as a small child, adopted into a loving family. He credits his own success to his adopted parents' support and saw sponsorship as a way to share his good fortune. He began sponsoring as a student at Boston University.
"I felt that many of us there were privileged and lucky to have the opportunities that we did," he says. "It was a point in my life where I started to feel it was important to give something back for all that I have been so grateful to have in my life."
Olson maintained child sponsorships while earning two degrees, a regional racing license and pursuing his passion for speed. He excelled from motorcycles to professional karting and eventually found himself racing in China – thousands of miles from U.S. tracks but only a few hundred from his sponsored child, Trang.
"She writes a lot about her schooling, which she really seems to enjoy," he says. "That makes me very happy as I think education is something that we tend to take for granted back home. In many other countries, children don't have the same opportunities for education."
Trang, 11, lives in Vietnam. In some rural areas of the country, children are discouraged from attending school because their classrooms are too far away. Other areas of the region lack clean drinking water and have inadequate sanitation facilities. With Olson's support, Trang is able to attend school regularly and benefits from the various ChildFund health and nutrition programs in her community.
With a desire to help more children like Trang, Olson now races in the Asia Formula Renault Series and does so for children in extreme poverty. The ChildFund logo that shines from the side of his red Formula car is an invitation to all of his fans – sponsor a child. And although he aspires to be the first American to win the series this year, he knows this is much bigger than winning.
"I've stopped keeping track of the wins," he says. "No matter what's going on in my own life, I know without a doubt that in another part of the world I am bringing joy and happiness to a child in need, enriching their life and providing them with opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have."
Olson plans to visit Trang soon to learn more about her family, community and where she goes to school. In the meantime, he continues his race for children.
Are you a racing fan? Catch Pete Olson September 15-16, October 20-21 and December 8-9. Check your local listings to find out how you can watch the races. Or stay updated on Facebook or www.peteolson.com. To learn more about sponsoring a child, speed over to the ChildFund website.

The East Hampton High School boys and girls cross-country teams have, according to their coaches, Kevin Barry and Diane O'Donnell, enjoyed "breakthrough" seasons.
Consequently, both the boys and girls teams are to run in Class B races in the county meet tomorrow at Sunken Meadow State Park in Kings Park, and two of the girls, Ashley West, a senior, and Dana Cebulski, a ninth grader, could advance to the state meet, which would, said O'Donnell, be a "first" for the girls team, which she has coached for the past 19 years.
"We've never had anyone go to the states in girls cross-country," O'Donnell said.
West, who has been hampered recently by a tibia stress fracture, did not run in last week's divisional meet at Sunken Meadow in order to save herself for the counties, but Cebulski shone, winning the open team qualifier race — a race largely for teams with modest records — in 20 minutes and 31 seconds, besting 161 contenders. As a result, Cebulski has been named to the all-division team and is ranked 19th among the county's cross-country runners.
"It was huge," O'Donnell said, in answer to a question, of Cebulski's win, "very huge."
East Hampton, she said, could have petitioned to run in the championship race (for the top two teams in each of the leagues), "but we didn't. Ashley had already qualified for the counties by running a sub-22:30 5K, and it was the first time Dana had ever run the 5K course at Sunken Meadow."
The girls team qualified for the county meet with an average time of 22:59, "in the middle of the pack. Twenty-four minutes was the cutoff. Our team finished sixth among the 22 schools that were in the race."
Jennie DiSunno was East Hampton's second runner, in 22:30, Jackie Messemer was third, in 23:24, Emma Newburger was fourth, in 23:35, and Kerry Kaestner was the fifth runner scored, in 23:58. Cebulski, DiSunno (by 20 seconds), and Messemer "p.r.'d" that day, and Newburger and Kaestner ran close to their personal bests, the coach said.
How West and Cebulski fare tomorrow depends not only on how they do, but also on how the favored teams do.
"The best outcome for us," said O'Donnell, "would be if Miller Place wins the race. They've got three girls, a set of twins and another girl, who are up there. The twins were the only Class B runners to beat Ashley this season. The winning team and the next five individuals go."
"Bayport-Blue Point has a good team too. They might not get one and two, but they've got a pack that could finish three, four, five, six, and seven. If Bayport wins, those three Miller Place girls will take three of the five individual spots, making it harder for us. . . . Ashley, even though she's got this injury, and Dana ought to be in the mix. I think Dana can beat that third Miller Place girl. I'm going to tell her before the race that she's got to!"
Concerning West, O'Donnell said, "She has her doctor's permission to run — he's said it won't get worse. She's been getting therapy three times a week and she's been riding a bike. It's a little crack in the bone. The problem is pain, but she says the pain's gone away. She ran two miles the other day and said it felt stiff, though not painful. . . . I'm hoping she gets this one good race in. Then, at the states I've told her she can relax and take it easy."
Kevin Barry's boys team, which went 3-4 over all this season, 1-4 in the league (the girls were 1-4 in their league with some narrow losses), also qualified for tomorrow's county meet.
Barry agreed that it had been a breakthrough season for both the boys and girls teams. "Diane's team is young and mine is too . . . Dana's the real deal."
Her older brother, Adam, a sophomore, is too. He led the boys team in the divisional team qualifier race with an 18:44, "one of the fastest times of any kid I've ever coached," said Barry. "Not even the Ahearns, Joe Sullivan, or Chris Reich ran that fast at Sunken Meadow. Matt Rubenstein was in the 19:00 range."
Barry said further that because the Class B boys teams were so deep this year — the county's top two, Shoreham-Wading River and Harborfields, are B schools — the chances of his top two, Cebulski and Mike Hamilton, making the state meet were very slim.
"I'm so proud of our kids for having qualified for the county championships," he continued. "The facts that we did and that we had a 1-4 record shows you how strong Class B is this year."
Hamilton was East Hampton's second finisher in the divisional race, in 19:10, "a 'p.r.' even though he had a sore ankle."
Mike Peralta was third, in 19:37, Thomas Brierley was fourth, in 19:38, and Deilyn Guzman was fifth, in 20:01.
"Deilyn's furious kick in the last 300 yards got us our qualifying time of 19:30," said Barry, who added that "we haven't been in the counties in four years."
The county Class B boys race is to be at 2 p.m. tomorrow; the Class B girls race is to go off at 3:20.
Meanwhile, thanks to Bill Herzog's perennially successful junior high program, Barry and O'Donnell can look forward to having their ranks strengthened next year.
"Hopefully," said O'Donnell, "I'll have three girls coming up — two eighth graders and a seventh grader. Which will be good because we're losing Ashley and Kerry from our top seven."
Barry anticipates welcoming three top-notch eighth graders, Erik Engstrom, Randy Rodriguez, and Jackson Rafferty.

Roommates in General!
Well I currently live with my mom/brother since I have been going to community college but I'm about to transfer to a university pretty soon. I mean its about 1 hour 30 mins away from my house I can't really commute by car because I would be too tired of driving especially if I have to drive 4 days a week and I work at the same time plus with studying. I personally think the time doesn't really matter to me but the actual driving itself especially since the college is located in a very busy city which is San Francisco in CA. The thing is I hate having to live with random people and especially if they don't have anything in common with me and are such a mess. If I can't really find suitable people then I would probably just take the Bart train which is a 20 min drive from my house then take the Bart train to San Francisco which takes 1 hour then I would take a free shuttle to the university which takes 10 mins. I will probably be very tired everyday but that's life you know :(.
So I was wondering how you found your roommates and if there suitable for you? Also you can tell us about your experience. Or any other details that you want to add.
PS: If someone is looking for a roommate that lives pretty close to San Francisco University in CA or if someone is looking for roommates hit me up. Just putting that out there for the hell of it and its not like i'm super desperate because I can always live where i'm currently at until I actually find good people. My mom wants me out if I can actually find some good roommates so I just put this out there lol.(I can also cook Japanese Food if that's a +)
Hello everyone!
You're right. Random roomies are awful. It's hard to find clean roommates who are guys, and even a lot of girls are messy.
My first roomie was a random and it was terrible. He'd smoke and drink heavily all the time. I was pretty pissed that he was also one of those guys who put rap and hip-hop on full blast all day long. During the second week, his friends rushed into the room drunk and high looking for him, making a ruckus when I was sleeping and woke me up. I had an important class the following day. Needless to say, I got mad and that was the last straw. After that, I pretty much ONLY used my real room as a storage room for clothes and supplies.
I lived with two of my friends in their loft at a separate dorm for a while. They had a roomie who was pretty much never there to the extent that the RA thought I was the dude and got mad when he found out I wasn't (lol). After that, I ended up living with a girl I was dating for about two weeks at her house, then I moved over to my friend's dorm since her roomies didn't mind either and the house was a hassle to get to every day.
My first year was pretty hectic, to say the least. My real room was always smelly and the hall was very dirty. The loft smelled like puke since people drank all the time. The girls' dorm had a big fruit fly outbreak until I identified the flies and made them look everywhere for the fruit (turns out someone left a bag of fruit under their bed and clouds of those little buggers were emerging from there).
Conjuring up the past is not remembering; it is replacing.

Yeah my friends that live in the dorms say the same thing lol. That's why I don't really want to get random roommates. I can't really room with my best friends since they are currently at different colleges which sucks. Also it must have been awful lol.
Hello everyone!
The only thing you can do is talk to potential roomies until you find some that fit (don't be anxious about turning people down!). Exchange some emails about lifestyle, work, house etiquette, expectations of one another. The more details you work out the better picture of how living with them will be. You're not looking for a best friend that you share everything with, but you ARE looking for someone that will respect you and your shared home. Also make sure to put yourself to the test and figure out how YOU can be a good roommate.
Start searching early by the way. Contact your school and see if they have a roommate finding board or something.
I had about 10 random roomates in my life, I move a lot with study and my part time job...most of the one I had spoke english so it made me practice (french is my first language)...but recently I got my own apartment and my sister moved with me and things good really smoothly, I like it
When you really want something, the whole universe conspires to make it happen.
I shared a student flat with two other people for my first quarter. One smoked a lot, the other was a glutton. I could tolerate the smoker, but the glutton was the most inhuman and unclean person I have ever had the misfortune to know. She would use all my cooking pots and dinnerware, leaving them figuratively covered in bird droppings, a testament to how poorly she cooked and cleaned. She even woke me up from sleep I desperately needed just because it was her birthday and she wanted me to drive her to Costco. Costco is not even open during the early morning hours!
I now live at home and commute to and from weekly, but I'm glad I'm not paying $800 monthly to live with those people. I think the amount I have to spend on gas and student parking is not even anywhere as costly.
Shall be absent from CR for undisclosed and indefinite period of time.
I used to share a decent sized condo with a girl I met in one of my first semester college classes. She wanted to get out of her parents house so she was looking for someone who could afford to room with her and I was less than enthralled with my living situation at the time (I was living with my ex) so I took her up on the offer. She wasn't terribly useful when it came to housework but she kept the house filled with groceries and didn't mind me bringing girls home at all hours of the night so I let it slide. She was a pretty excellent roommate and the only reason I ended up moving out was because I bought a house with my fiance.
You could always put out a want ad and meet with potential candidates, hitting up Craig's list is another option. I'm not sure if this'll work for you but at the college I went to there were bulletin boards everywhere which I always noticed. Occasionally i'd see flyers advertising that people were looking for roommates. I don't know if they're successful but it's something to consider.
If I had a type it'd be you, fortunately I don't have a type so please stop.
It is the luck of the draw with roommates. I went in blind my first year of college and my roommate was really cool and laid back, so I lucked out. And second year my suite-mates in the room next to us are really cool too. For the most part I haven't really heard to many people with horrible experiences (but I have a heard a few). Like someone else suggested, you could try looking on craigslist (although I had a friend that did and she HATES her roommates so who knows with that lol). I would suggest being open and respectful to your roommate right off the bat and lay some ground rules. If you are both respectful to each other you can usually work out most problems. In the end though, it is still the luck of the draw, good luck!
I give kudos to people who have the patience to move in with some random person they have never met before. From all the horror stories I've heard from my friends it sounds like more often than not it is a disaster. Most of the people I know always move into an apartment the next year instead of spending more time in the dorms. I have no patience when it comes to people's annoying tendencies so I know I would go crazy.
Random roommates are hit and miss - but sometimes it seems they are more likely to miss than hit. If you DO find a roommate you get along well with, stick with that person for as long as possible!
My first two roommates were OK - until I found out that one of them hadn't paid any rent after the second month. He disappeared, so the apartment office went after us for his rent money (which happens with "joint and severally liable" leases, which are common. My other roommate decided he was going to take them to court (despite the fact that he signed the contract. I ended up negotiating with the office and paid $500 instead of the full $3000 "owed". I have no idea what my roommate decided to do, but I highly doubt he won.
My second two roommates were great - we stayed out of each others way, didn't eat each others food, and had friendly chats. It was all going fine until one of the roommates started cheating on his girlfriend. On the night it all came to light, I hear his girlfriend in his room crying, saying "stop, let me go!" I had to threaten to call the cops - no idea what would have happened if I hadn't.
The next roommate is great - she was 40 years old and had been living with her parents due to the recession. She had found a job at Sam's Club and moved in with us. She respects our privacy, doesn't steal stuff, cleans up after herself and volunteered to do some of the chores around the apartment.
My last roommate is an alright person - but not a good roommate at all. She is disabled, so she doesn't have a job. She is constantly using the TV and constantly talking with her uncle on the phone. Since she can't drive, she occasionally asks us to drive her to the grocery store, doctor's office and hospital. Ever since she moved in, keeping the bathroom sanitary has become a problem - particularly the toilet seat. Being overweight should not be an excuse to be unsanitary. Nor should it be an excuse for not wearing pants properly.
Worst of all, though, was the drama that she brought to the apartment. Her "friend" convinced her to get a smartphone and get added to her friend's cell phone plan. Everyone pays their portion of the bill, and everything is fine, right?
Until her friend says that she needs to pay $300 per month and refuses to show her a copy of the bill. Obviously, being on a fixed income, she can't afford $300 a month, so she tells her friend that she's going to give the phone back the next day since she can't afford it. At midnight her "friend" is banging on the door screaming for us to open up and give her the phone right then and there or else she is going to call the cops. Drama ensues, she gives the phone back, and her "friend" ends up breaking into her facebook account.
But that's not the end of the drama! Later, she ends up going to an online dating site, and gives some random stranger her personal information. This stranger ends up calling and texting her with repeated death threats. The most disturbing part was that he knew what color shirt she was wearing. She ends up asking me for permission to call the cops (WTF, WHY DO YOU NEED MY PERMISSION TO CALL THE COPS WHEN SOMEONE IS SENDING YOU DEATH THREATS!!!!). After I scold her for even thinking that she needed my permission to call 911 when she thinks her life is in danger, the cops show up, they call the guy back, tell him to leave her alone and I end up showing her how to block phone numbers on her phone after the guy starts calling and texting her after the police leave.
Don't get me wrong, she isn't a bad person at all. She's just a bad roommate.
Long story short, living with roommates can suck sometimes. I am glad that I am finally graduating and starting a career elsewhere. It will be nice being the one who controls who I live with for a change.
My friend's brother went to a university and did the three random roomies thing.. you see..
He's straight, you see.
They were all African American, you see. (no offense intended)
They were all gay, you see. (no offense intended)
He heard things at night that no straight man should ever hear, you see.
He.. yeah.
Haha, you should hear about my 3rd, 4th and 5th years.
2nd year - Very smooth. Lived with a strange white dude in an apartment (met him at my guy buddies' dorm first year) but at least he was clean and paid rent. I'd also occasionally live with the girl who let me share her dorm the first year since she got a studio and she'd get lonely and upset sometimes.
3rd year - Got a house with the aforementioned girl and another two couples. Nightmare year. People would be inconsiderate of each others' living situations, not pay rent on time, get lazy with cleaning duties.....arguments and bad juju all around so we kicked them all out. The house had the landlord's TV he left for us, washer and dryer, and a speaker system installed all around the house. Kitchen floor was new wood and the rest of the downstairs area was tile. Great place with good central heating and AC.
4th year - Renewed the house lease with my girl friend. We tried to get more roomies but they wouldn't pay rent on time, were equally dirty and disruptive, and one tried to jack the landlord's TV. We kicked them out and lived there, just the two of us, for half the remaining year. It was a vicious party year with parties literally at least once a week. Toward the end, we sort of had a falling out after she did something that pissed me off so I left, stop talking to her, and commuted for a while.
5th year - Got tired of commuting and looked for a place near school. My girl friend came back to me and apologized and wanted to talk to me again, so I gave her a chance and so far so good. We moved into a house already occupied by other people. It was the FILTHIEST house with all sorts of plumbing problems and plenty of dead and dying bugs. Nobody cleaned. Nobody took out the trash. Gross. When my kitchen items started getting stolen, I got really angry. Most of my cookware is antiquated with lots of sentimental value. I never did find the stuff they took even though they feigned innocence. We moved out into an apartment in fury. The apartment was pretty much a perfect living situation and I was satisfied with it until graduation.
Conjuring up the past is not remembering; it is replacing.
Damn some good/bad stories everyone. Well I'm probably going to commute for a bit until I actually find some good people in the college too room with. I think that would be the best thing to do with my situation.
Hello everyone!
try the university facebook or there is generally info for student housing if you ask the school. If you room with a random roommate just "pray" they don't suck. Make friends and consider switching rooms mid year if you find a friend you want to room with. Or ask if they have any "singles" so you can room by yourself. My university has a few but not a lot.

I don't normally post, but occasionally read threads. So here's my go at this.
I started UC Davis in 2004. Freshman year, I got stuck with a guy from Alameda. He was cool, drank socially. First quarter he managed to pledge for the Pikes, so a lot of hazing involved. He came back drunk everyday at 2am. I got lucky and had a studio apartment because that was a year that UCD was unprepared for the huge influx of students, so there was a bathroom and shower.
Since the hazing, he came back drunk, puked in the bathtub, puked in the sink (it was flooded every time we turned on the water with his puke streaming back up), puked on the floor, puked on his bed (and then he asked me to HELP him clean up). One morning at 4am, he took one of his pillows, tossed it on the floor and started peeing on it and then proceeded to go back to sleep. Notice here, that the toilet was no more than 20 feet away. He proceeded to then take that pillow a month later and sleep with it without washing it.
That same year, I met two guys on the same floor. They were pretty cool, but they were heavy pot smokers. Our RA and everyone on the floor called the cops on them and they got busted, twice. The third time they got busted, they wanted me to hide a pound of weed in my room in the vents, to which I said, no?
I met two Chinese guys, moved in with them and lived with them for 3 years. The year after that, one of the guys I met on the floor I roomed with again because I needed someone. He seemed to have matured, but gradually regressed when we got a new guy to come in, who just newly transferred. The alcohol I was okay with, but they started smoking weed and started doing coke in the comfort of the apartment? Not cool. They started to go out everyday to the bars, to which I said, that's cool. Do your own thing. I minded my own business.
One day, I'm sleeping, the friend I met freshman year that moved in decides to walk into my room at 5am, piss all over my desk, ruining my paperwork, and then proceeded to sleep on the couch in my room, for about 45 minutes. What happened 45 minutes later? He decides to get into bed with me. Here's the kicker, he's fully naked.
I get out of my bed, and the girl he was dating came out and she was also in a daze. Before I realized it, he came running out of my room covering his junk before closing the door. I'm guessing they got drugged? Both had no recollection of what happened that night. The new guy that moved in was nowhere to be seen.
New guy that came in, one day also went out with my friend and as I come back home around 9pm, I find laying outside passed out, pissed his pants. I had to drag him into the apartment because the other guy locked him out and he didn't have keys. 20 minutes later he gets up and starts pissing on the fridge door before passing out again. Guess how I knew he pissed his pants? I had to pull him by the legs. Not fun!
The last quarter before the year was over, they bought a puppy off Craigslist for $75. I come back one day and find that little thing looking at me and barking. I think to myself, "someone's dog?" No. That thing proceeded to piss, poop and bark everywhere and I was never consulted because they thought it was a good deal. Everybody in the complex was jelly.
The awesome thing was when we moved out. Property manager said, I know you guys had a dog in there and I know you didn't do it. I don't even have to take out my black light to see where it pissed and pooped everywhere. I'm going to have to take your security deposit and charge you for new carpets. She never did.
The last thing I heard from the new guy as we were moving out was that he and his girlfriend talked behind my back and called me a dick for not helping him move out. Excuse me? You treated me like poop and expect me to come help you when you DIDN'T EVEN ASK? Thanks douche.
I moved in with a few friends of mine after who were also fed up with their roommates and have been here for the past 4 years. Nobody I know can top my stories, and actually feel sorry for me at my poor luck in finding roommates. Next avenue for me is living alone since I'm fully responsible for the mess I make. I get TIRED of having to ask people to clean up and they proceed to say, since you said that, I'm not going to do it. Drives me insane.
The moral of the story is, pick your roommates wisely. Set ground rules. If you can afford it and are self sustainable, live alone.

Mobile Virtual Network Operators
Bringing SAAS into telecommunications
Mobile number portability (MNP) enables mobile telephone users to retain their mobile telephone numbers when changing from one mobile network operator to another.

Don't know if it means anything to the thread, but sometimes names mean more than what they are...
Spoiler for Name explaination paragraph:
C.C. will probably be the catalyst again, unless it's far enough back that her personality is slightly less passive than what it is in the modern Geass world. I'm hoping she plays a little more direct role in the plot, in my personal opinion. But not enough to steal the spot light, of course.
...Agh, man. I hope they don't retcon the "Haven't met anyone like you" thing.
Hopes are that it's a little more than rebellion this time around-- I'd like to hear more about the fictional history behind Geass rather than have them revamp the rebellion story.
It's times like these I wish I paid more attention in the Asian units in Social Studies. (The history in itself is fascinating, from what I remember. Miss Chinese in particular.)
I think it depends on how Renya's personality is made that will see how far C.C. goes as a character, and where the plot leads. If Code Geass was done from the view of Suzaku, it'd be done a little differently. If Renya is like both Lelouch and Suzaku, then this is going to hit the fan pretty fast in terms of inverse collapse. (In a good, chaotic way.)

Age: 34
except that the development you get during code geass, is NOT going to apply to the character you get in the prequel
what you're going to get should, in theory, would be the same C.C that you have at the start of season 1
the kind that IS apathetic and passive
simply because, this is before Lelouch made her feel like living again
unless this happens VERY soon after she gets her code
in which case, why would she be giving geass to the protegonist, since she's not tired of life yet

Another point I'd like to make is the description of the story being akin to Macbeth, not very descriptive but I imagine it will not be ending on the best of notes given our knowledge of what happens in the present Code Geass time-line, so I think any rehash of 'haven't met anyone like you line' this time around.

Wait, so that Suzaku look-alike is Renya, a new protagnoist... and the Lelouch look-alike isn't Lelouch... and this manga is canon and set in the same world as Lelouch of the Rebellion?
Well, I just went from slightly disappointed to beyond thrilled.
So, since Renya looks like Suzaku and Renya and CC meet, who wants to bet that Renya is Suzaku's ancestor and we'll finally get an explanation as to why CC flipped out in Episode 22 of the first season of Lelouch of the Rebellion and was all "I just need to know one thing, are you-" to Suzaku.
I always assumed they were going to make Suzaku have some supernatural connection to CC, but maybe she just realized he is of the same bloodline as Renya and that is very important.
Didn't they say that Renya of the Dark is going to tell two stories set in two different eras? We only know one of them is going to be in the Edo era. Maybe the other will be set after Lelouch of the Rebellion, and CC has to do something involving Suzaku because of whatever happened with Renya. Just speculation, although I'm not really thrilled about that idea. I kinda want Renya of the Dark to have as little connection with the characters and eventual plot of Lelouch of the Rebellion as possible. I'd be happy just getting some answers about what CC was going on about with Suzaku. It's always bugged me.
Oh, I'm so excited now.

Whatever it is, I hope he's not a fodder villain like Charles was. (In my opinion...)
I'm also wondering if it's a given that Reifu will end up again on the road?
If they do decide to do it again, then I'm guessing that Renya's personality different enough from Lelouch's that, when she meets Lelouch, can say there's a difference.

Unless the reason why Renya was so good is because he had Geass-- it can't be passed down... But I guess the ability to manifest and use it better can? I'm not sure.

Honestly this all seems to fit into place WAY too well for me. Maybe this is wishfull thinking on my part, but some kind of cycle of rebirth sounds like what they're hinting at. Seems like a forshadowing to me.
With the turn 22 thing with Suzaku, and the fact that Renya and the Lelouch look alike look so much like the real Suzaku and Lelouch. Not to mention the thing with Shirley saying she'll be reborn. And there's the picture of Lelouch that says Revival Re:advent on it.
IT ALL ADDS UP!!!......or maybe I need to stop thinking crazy thoughts right before bed. Either way we at least have an interesting set of circumstances. It could just as easily be explained in a different way, but it still makes me think.

Maybe C.C. is an accidental cause and effect, and her existence and pulling people in the Geass cycle is what causes a hiccup in time, IE why Renya and Suzaku are so similar in appearance, why Lelouch and the look-like seem so similar.
That'd be a fascinating plot- this is a good batch of speculations so far, imo.

The Pratt Public Library provides more than a million dollars in service to its users and operates on a "shoestring budget" compared to other libraries that serve populations similar to Pratt, according to Director Rochelle Westerhaus. The library ranks at the bottom for tax funding and per capital operating expenses, but its total circulation of materials and per capita circulation places it solidly in the mid-range. About 2,000 people are regular library users, Westerhaus estimated.
The library is supported by the City of Pratt, Pratt County, donations and memorials and income from the 2002 sale of a ranch donated to the library board. The $1.2 million remains intact, invested in Certificates of Deposit, the only legal option available to them.
The library board has asked the county for $116,500 for 2014 and requested a levy of four mils from the city. That translated to $156,000 last year, Westerhaus said.
Besides books, books on tape, movies, newspapers and magazines, the library has a resource room with microfilm copies of newspapers and other collected materials. Computers are available for public use.
Three story times are offered each week year-round, and there is a summer reading program for children, teens and adults, with an enrollment of 199 for age three through fourth grade, 66 for fifth through 12th grades and 64 adults.
New programs planned for the fall include a monthly art class for elementary students and the Talk About Literature program sponsored by the Kansas Humanities Council for adults.
