Understanding Audiences Workshop
Continuing with their efforts to build the capacity of the Garden State's heritage community, the New Jersey Historical Commission and New Jersey Historic Trust present Understanding Audiences as a part of their Best Practices for Nonprofit History Organizations series.
Understanding Audiences will be presented by Max von Balgooy, president of Engaging Places, a design and strategy firm that connects people and historic places. In his History News article, "Turning Points: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Change" Balgooy writes that the 2008 economic downturn threatened our cultural institutions, but the issue extends beyond the economy. Surveys over the past thirty years by the National Endowment for the Arts indicate that attendance rates have dropped from 37% in 1982 to 25% in 2008. From 2008 to 2012 attendance continued to decline while electronic participation grew and live attendance among multi-ethic audiences has not declined.
With the changes in attendance rates, demographics and forms of participation, Understanding Audiences will introduce participants to national standards for learning about audiences; explore practices that integrate visitor interests, needs, and motivations into exhibits, programs, and activities; and help participants apply standards to their programs.
The workshop will be offered Monday, September 22nd from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. at Middlesex County College in Crabiel Hall. The charge to attend the workshop is $20 and will cover the cost for breakfast and lunch.

I've enjoyed playing my new Meinl Headliners for a couple of weeks now. Both the sound and quality of workmanship are excellent, especially for the price. You don't get that high-pitched (almost like clicking)sound that one hears from other brands played by Latino bongoceros. Instead the sound is much warmer, darker, more wood-like; yet, you can still make them "pop" with rim-shots and finger strikes. Overall, I like my new Headliners very much and have a great time playing them.
Great communication from the start. Shipped quickly, packed well. Love the Bongos, our instructor was very impressed with the quality and the price! Will shop here again and recommend to everyone.

What beauty tips do you wish you had known ten years ago? And for our younger folk (myself included!), how about just five years ago?
Probably sunscreen and using a cleanser everyday! You'd think the cleanser would be a duh thing, but when you don't wear makeup, I found it never occurred to me that I needed to cleanse my face any more than I did already by showering.
P.S. – What did you do this weekend? (Or will do?)
Facial Cleansers
Typically, a cleanser refers to a product used to cleanse the face either to remove normal daily build-up or makeup (or both). If you are a heavy makeup wearer, it is advisable to use separate products. Use a targeted cleanser to remove the majority of your makeup with a secondary cleanser to remove the last traces. You can always test your combined cleanser for its effectiveness by using it, and then using a makeup removing wipe to see if you missed any residue (and how much you missed). Cleansers remove oil, dirt, dead skin cells, and the like, which all help to provide the skin a chance to breathe better, renew, and keep pores open. Cleansers that contain acne-fighting ingredients may be too strong for dry skin, as many acne preventive ingredients dry out the skin. Oilier skin will demand a cleanser with more strength than drier skin, so it is important to pay attention to what kind of ingredients and what the product is advertised to do.

NOTICE: AAMU - Smoke-Free Campus
Alabama A&M University became a smoke free campus effective January 1, 2014. The announcement comes after the Board of Directors passed the Smoke Free Campus policy earlier this year.
The new policy seeks to preserve and improve the health, well-being, and safety of students, faculty, staff and campus visitors. As such, the policy prohibits smoking anywhere on University property and limits the use of smokeless tobacco products and electronic cigarettes on campus.
This policy applies to all students, faculty, staff, visitors, contractors, and sub-contractors while on property owned or leased by AAMU at all times. Failure to comply with this policy will be dealt with according to established disciplinary procedures for violation of policy as contained in any employee handbook or student code of conduct.

Disbursement vs. Refund!
A common misconception among students is the difference between the disbursement of funds to a student's account and refunding of funds back to the student.
The first disbursement date for the Fall 2014 Semester was August 22, 2014
Disbursement as defined by the U. S. Department of Education is the authorization of funds to be crediting to a student's account. Financial aid payments are typically applied to students' accounts after the close of the add/drop period. If a student's account balance is a credit, i.e. the funding is more than the account charges; it is the policy of the University to refund the credit to the student in a timely manner. Credit balances are refunded to the student only after a careful review of the student's account and eligibility for the aid that is applied. If a credit balance refund is due the student, the refund is made to the student within 14 days of the date the credit balance occurs, as required by U. S. Department of Education regulations.
New federal regulations require that the student's attendance must be properly verified by their instructor(s) before any federal funds can be disbursed to their account.
The U. S. Department of Education mandates that there be a clear and concise separation of duties between the Financial Aid Office and the Business Office.
**Please keep in mind that the authorization to disburse (credit) funds to a student's account is done through the Office of Student Financial Aid. – BUT—the actual crediting of funds to the student's account and the requisite refund processing is done through the Business office.

A First: AAMU's Offering Two Chinese Courses This Fall 2014
As a part of AAMU's China initiatives for education and research, Alabama A&M University has approved three courses related to China: CHN 101 Basic Chinese Language, CHN 102 Chinese Writing, and CHN 401 Studies in Chinese Culture. Degree programs may decide to use these courses as Humanities electives.
CHN 101 and CHN 401 will be first offered in the fall semester of 2014 and taught by native speakers from the faculty of Nanjing Forestry University in China. CHN 101 will introduce the Chinese language by helping beginners to grasp the pronunciation of Chinese, skillfully use Pinyin, understand the basic grammar and structure of Chinese, and know some frequently used characters and essential grammar.
CHN 401 will discuss the elements of traditional culture and their functions, and the ethos of ancient Chinese society with an emphasis on values and the historical and cultural heritage. Both classes will be offered on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: CHN 101 from 2-2:50 pm and CHN 401 from 3-3:50 pm.
A evening session of CHN101 for community, faculty, and staff through continue education is currently under consideration.
AAMU also offers study abroad and exchange programs, including programs in China. These courses will provide a good foundation for students and faculty who are interested in programs on China. For registration information, please visit http://www.aamu.edu/administrativeoffices/registrar/Pages/default.aspx. For additional information about the courses, please contact Dr. Jonaid Sharif at (256) 372-8303 or firstname.lastname@example.com; and for information about China programs, please contact Dr. Yong Wang at (256) 372-4229 or email@example.com.

Learn Chinese Language and Culture This Fall
The Department of English and Foreign Languages is offering this fall an opportunity for students and interested person to learn Chinese language and culture to earn elective credits.
Visiting professors from China will be offering CHN 101 (Basic Chinese Language) and CHN 401 (Studies in Chinese Culture). Each course will carry three (3) credit hours. For additional information, call (256) 372-8303.
AAMU Begins Cultural Studies Program
The first phase of a new degree program at Alabama A&M University this fall is designed to give students the tools needed to fill positions sought by business and federal sectors.
Initially, the new Bachelor of Arts degree program in cultural studies will focus entirely on its Middle East concentration. The concentration will delve into an understanding of the culture and literature of the region against the background of historical and social change. Students will take four semesters of Farsi language common in Iran and other surrounding countries. They will also complete courses in literature, media, politics and geography of the Middle East.
But as the cultural studies program develops within the upcoming semesters, it is expected to expand to include concentrations in African American culture and literature, as well as Latin American culture and literature, says Dr. Jonaid Sharif, Chair of AAMU's Department of English and Foreign Languages.
"This program offers students flexibility, some freedom of choice and a unique opportunity to complete their courses of study on time," adds Dr. Sharif. "The cultural studies program is not only about academics, but it will provide internships, film viewings, open houses and even immersion in the respective communities of a particular concentration."
The overall degree program requires 50 credits of general education courses, 24 credits of cultural studies major course work, 27 credit hours of concentration courses, and 24 credit hours of electives.
Among the major requirements are such classes as Film and Culture (HUM 301), Cultural Anthropology (SOC 334), International Business (MGT 458), African American Literature (ENG 404), Post-Colonial Theory and Literature (ENG 420), and other courses.
The Middle Eastern concentration, in particular, will provide students the course work important to such entities as the U.S. State Department, Defense-related agencies and businesses requiring some Middle East knowledge and/or experience.
For additional information, contact Dr, Jonaid Sharif at (256) 372-8303 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

QEP Critical Thinking Workshop:
A&M New Fall Courses Stressing Renewable Energy
The many pluses of renewable energy have been long touted by scientists, government officials and environmentalists for many years. This fall, however, educators at Alabama A&M University will join the chorus again when they offer a slate of courses on alternative energy.
"Renewable energy is an alternate source of clean energy that can save the environment by reducing pollution," explains Dr. Showkat Chowdhury, the principal investigator (PI) of a nearly $300,000 National Science Foundation grant designed to put in place a foundation upon which renewable energy courses can be built and sustained.
And, teaching and creating needed advocates for renewable energy could ultimately alleviate American dependence on foreign fossil fuel, says Chowdhury, adding that renewable energy is "an emerging field in which private organizations and government agencies, such as the Department of Energy, NASA, and the U.S. Army, are already investing billions."
In step with this trend, Chowdhury adds, is a "huge demand for engineers and technologists with experience in the cutting edge field of renewable energy, especially solar and wind energy."
In addition to launching new courses focusing on renewable energy, the NSF support helps to facilitate hands-on lab experience and undergraduate research. The professor will receive able assistance from co-PIs Tamara Chowdhury and Wing Chan in the College of Engineering, Technology and Physical Sciences.
Over $90,000 in new equipment has arrived to offer students hands-on lab experience and to support research in solar and wind energy to complement an expanded AAMU engineering course curriculum with undergraduate and graduate courses on renewable energy.
ME441/ME541 – Renewably Energy course will be offered in Fall 2014 for undergraduate and graduate students in Mechanical, Electrical & Civil Engineering, as well as for Technology students. A spring 2015 course will hone in on solar engineering. Moreover, some 15 undergraduate engineering students engaged in renewable energy research during the 2014-16 academic years will receive a stipend of $1,500.
For additional information about the fall/spring renewable energy courses and/or NSF grant, contact Dr. Showkat Chowdhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, at (256) 372-8401.
Professor, Colleague Earn Best Paper Honor in Australia
An Alabama A&M University agriculture professor and his colleague were awarded the best paper distinction at the International Institute of Fisheries, Economics and Trade (IIFET) Conference held recently in Brisbane, Australia.
Dr. James O. Bukenya, professor of agriculture and resource economics, and his co-author Maurice Ssebisubi received the AquaFish Best Paper Award for their presentation within the track on Economics of Sustainable Aquaculture Development.
According to Bukenya, the paper--"Price Interactions Between Farm-Raised and Wild-Harvested African Catfish in Uganda"--applies threshold autoregressive approaches to test for price asymmetry and the existence of long-run relationships.
"It's always an honor to have one's research recognized by peers at the international level," commented Dr. Bukenya. "It also acknowledges our continued involvement in international food and agricultural development research at AAMU."
Bukenya is no stranger to such honors. The award in Australia joins three earlier honors for presentations awarded by the Southern Rural Sociological Association (2012); the Southern Agricultural Economics Association (2nd place, 2009); and the Alabama Academy of Science (E.B. Carmichael Award for Outstanding Journal Article, 2007).
Bukenya's international research program is funded by the USAID AquaFish Innovation Lab and USDA Foreign Agricultural Services. Since joining the AAMU faculty, the professor has published more than 50 journal articles, including two book chapters.

Chemistry Professor Named ACE Fellow
The American Council on Education (ACE) recently announced that the coordinator and associate professor of chemistry at Alabama A&M University has been named an ACE Fellow for academic year 2014-15.
The ACE Fellows Program, established in 1965, is designed to strengthen institutions and leadership in American higher education by identifying and preparing emerging leaders, such as Dr. Malinda Wilson Gilmore and others, for senior positions in college and university administration. Gilmore will join 31 Fellows, each nominated by the senior administration of their respective institutions, and selected following a rigorous application process.
Some Fellows have advanced into major positions in academic administration. Nearly 2,000 higher education leaders have participated in the ACE Fellows Program since its inception, with more than 300 Fellows having served as chief executive officers of colleges or universities and more than 1,300 having served as provosts, vice presidents and deans.
"For nearly 50 years, the ACE Fellows Program has transformed lives and grown future leaders," said Joan Wodiska, ACE vice president and chief leadership officer. "The ACE Fellows Program is unique. The program immerses Fellows in learning experiences to gain insight and understanding into the changing environment of higher education."
Gilmore earned her B.S. in chemistry from Texas Southern University in Houston, Texas, and obtained her Ph.D. from the University of California at Davis in agricultural and environmental chemistry. She completed her postdoctoral experience at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in the area of environmental health sciences. Just recently, Dr. Gilmore earned tenure and was promoted from assistant professor to associate professor of chemistry.
Additionally, Gilmore works to enhance the academic and research skills of students from disadvantaged backgrounds so they can thrive in STEM programs and, ultimately, STEM careers. Toward that end, she serves as the campus advisor for the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE) and also the American Chemical Society.
As Co-Principal Investigator, she has been a part of several successful grant proposals to the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Science and Engineering Alliance, the United States Department of Agriculture and Title III. She has been honored in the AAMU's Research Magazine as a "Rising Star", and by the Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences as the "Most Effective Young Faculty." In 2013, she received the "Faculty of the Year Award for Service" by the College of Engineering, Technology and Physical Science.

Children's Book Highlights "The Classic"
An accomplished attorney who has been long fascinated with the appeal and energy of the annual Magic City Classic has now channeled here excitement into a children's book.
In Magic City Classic Game Day Rules, Sherri Graves Smith invites four- through six-year-olds on a fun-filled adventure, guided by none other than Bulldog and Hornet. All during the eventful game day, the children experience the pageantry of the yearly Magic City Classic parade, the unbelievable tailgating that seems to extend for miles, as well as attend the exciting football game between Alabama A&M University and Alabama State University.
But the gridiron contest between the two schools isn't the only highlight. Bulldog and Hornet also teach worthwhile lessons in manners, civility, and good sportsmanship, along with some child safety tips, as well. Of course, the Magic City Classic comes with a healthy dessert in the form of the Battle of the Bands!
The Magic City Classic piece is the author's first extension of her "Game Day Rules" series into the realm of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The series introduces children to good sportsmanship and manners in a game day format. Moreover, Smith has a series of alphabet and counting books that use college mascots. All books are licensed by college or professional teams. The current list of titles can be found at www.gamedayrules.com.
Prior to becoming an author of children's books, Smith was part of The Coca-Cola Company's Legal Division as an attorney in November 2000. After taking an assignment as Assistant Division Counsel for Coca-Cola Ltd. in Toronto, Canada, Smith was being considered for a three-year position in Vienna, Austria. However, her career came to an abrupt halt after a routine visit to the doctor revealed that she had cancer. In November 2007, at the age of 36, she was diagnosed with colorectal cancer and immediately began an aggressive course of treatments that included chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.
In 2010, Smith's former manager at The Coca-Cola Company suggested reading to his children at their school as a way of being able to work with children. She began reading to children again, and it motivated her to become an author. Today, Smith has more than 40 titles licensed by professional and college sports teams that teach good sportsmanship.
In addition to writing, the University of Alabama graduate participates in philanthropic work. She noticed that many of the cancer patients were facing dire financial straits as a result of undergoing treatments. Problems ranged from filing for bankruptcy to skipping treatments due to the inability to pay for gas and parking. Working with the Legal Department of The Coca-Cola Company, she has helped raise over $400,000 for the Atlanta Cancer Care Foundation, which is a 501(c)(3) organization that helps cancer patients in the Atlanta metropolitan area who are in need of financial assistance.
In March 2014, Smith was honored as the first winner of the Tuscumbia Education Foundation Hall of Fame. This award is for graduates of the Tuscumbia, Ala., school system who have exemplified excellence in their careers and in the community.

CATEGORIES Trailers/Clips, HorrorI suppose web series are a more lucrative business model than a cynic like myself assumed, because Paramount's "Circle of Eight" looks like a more elaborate production than one would expect from a series that premieres its episodes on MySpace. I mean, it does have DJ Qualls in it, the star of such timeless classics as Road Trip, The New Guy, and, of course, The Core. That casting alone instantly elevates "Circle of Eight" above the competition. Er...you're telling me Crackle's "Woke Up Dead" stars Jon Heder? Okay, so maybe getting comedic actors who were at their career apex five years ago to star in a web series isn't that hard to do.
Kidding aside, the trailer (embedded below) for "Circle of Eight" has a nice 'dilapidated apartment building and its creepy tenants' vibe a la Toolbox Murders going on. And the official description promises all kinds of special little web touches like hidden clues, games, and even cell-phone content for those who are into that kind of thing when the show premieres on October 27th.
"Jessica, a newcomer to the City of Angels, has just moved into a loft on the eighth floor of The Dante, a historic and eerie downtown building filled with friendly twenty-something neighbors who eagerly welcome her into their bohemian world. Or do they? As Jessica races to unravel the mystery behind a chain of horrifying deaths that only she seems to see, she'll come face-to-face with the chilling truth behind her connection to The Dante. Join her and her hot neighbor, Evan, in ten intense episodes that offer multiple levels of interaction, including hidden clues, mobile content, an online game and exclusive material that builds the back story of the characters and their relationships and gives the audience the chance to affect their futures."

Dag Savage - Twilight
Artist: Dag Savage
Producer: Exile
Album: E&J
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 11 total votes )
No, Dag Savage haven't developed a sudden affection for brooding werewolves and sparkle vampires. The inaugural song release off the Milk Box duo's forthcoming, almost-self titled EP, Twilight instead draws inspiration, as well as its central sample, from The Platters' classic doo-wop rendition of My Prayer. Exile's haunting production sets the stage for some appropriately dark lyricism from mic-rocking partner Johaz, who touches upon urban poverty, the execution of Crips founder Tookie Williams, the corruption of the hip-hop industry and other sobering topics in his incisive bars. Featuring this cut, three other brand new tracks, and a handful of fresh remixes, The Dag Savage EP is scheduled for release January 15, both as a digital download and a limited-edition vinyl 12".

Basically getting your first Java ME application (MIDlet) running on a real device, requires a number of steps. This Wiki page tries to guide through the process. As this is targeted to firsdt time MIDlet developers, some things are simplified, and more detailed information can be found elsewhere
Analyze the situation
Java ME is a limited subset of the standard Java (Java SE) available on the desktop computers. Additionally there are some mobile phone related APIs available. There are a number of limitations you need to keep in mind
- MIDlets run in a sandbox because of security reasons (there are confirmations when using certain functionalities, like networking or sending SMS messages)
- There is no JNI (Java Native Interface) so you cannot extend the capabilities of Java ME environment on the phone
- There is no Swing or AWT classes, MIDlets use their own (simplistic) UI classes
- The capabilities of the Java ME environment vary widely, meaning that the phones have different set of optional APIs implemented (examples include access to files, access to phonebook, video/audio recording, 3D graphics, etc.)
So first of all, before starting anything else, think if Java ME is the right choice for you or should you try to use Flash Lite for your application (runs both on Series 40 and S60 phones), or should you start using Symbian C++ programming (those apps work on S60 phones). You can find a lot of good information in this Wiki or in the FN Java Discussion Forums. There is also documentation available on Forum Nokia web site, as well at Sun Web site and IBM DeveloperWorks Web site.
Overview of the development process
What tools to use and installing them
Coding and compiling your first MIDlet
Running your MIDlet in the emulator and on real device
Typical pitfalls
Compiling the Java ME code with wrong Java compliance option. The correct compliance is 1.3 or 1.4. Compiling with 5.0 or 6.0 compliance makes it impossible to install the MIDlet
Compiling and packaging the MIDlet for incorrect CLDC or MIDP version. This is especially true when using Sun Wireless Toolkit, which by default builds the MIDlet for MIDP 2.1. However most of the current phones have only MIDP 2.0 available. (Note, that you can install on a phone a MIDlet with lower CLDC/MIDP version than what the phone supports, however you cannot install a MIDlet with higher CLDC/MIDP version on the phone. Check the supported CLDC and MIDP versions on FN device specification pages.)

Skeletons at the Feastby Chris Bohjalian
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In January 1945, in the waning months of World War II, a small group of people begin the longest journey of their lives: an attempt to cross the remnants of the Third Reich, from Warsaw to the Rhine if necessary, to reach the British and American lines.
Among the group is eighteen-year-old Anna Emmerich, the daughter of Prussian aristocrats. There is her lover, Callum Finella, a twenty-year-old Scottish prisoner of war who was brought from the stalag to her family's farm as forced labor. And there is a twenty-six-year-old Wehrmacht corporal, who the pair know as Manfred–who is, in reality, Uri Singer, a Jew from Germany who managed to escape a train bound for Auschwitz.
As they work their way west, they encounter a countryside ravaged by war. Their flight will test both Anna's and Callum's love, as well as their friendship with Manfred–assuming any of them even survive.
Perhaps not since The English Patient has a novel so deftly captured both the power and poignancy of romance and the terror and tragedy of war. Skillfully portraying the flesh and blood of history, Chris Bohjalian has crafted a rich tapestry that puts a face on one of the twentieth century's greatest tragedies–while creating, perhaps, a masterpiece that will haunt readers for generations.
CHRIS BOHJALIAN is the critically acclaimed
During the final months of World War II, a small group of people--including teenager Anna Emmerich, daughter of Prussian aristocrats; Callum Finnela, a twenty-year-old POW; and a young Wehrmacht corporal hiding his true Jewish identity--make their way westward across a ravaged Europe in a desperate attempt to reach British and American lines. 200,000 first printing.

CDs — are they really dead to DJs?
The next revision of the Macbook Pro is sure to be a big deal, at least to those who care. Many are already sick of the high pricing for Apple products when a similar priced Windows laptop could cost half as much for the same amount of performance. The guys at Apple recently announced changed to their newest laptop, and one shocker that is not surprising is the disc drive, which has not been omitted. Removing that drive could certainly free up enough space to add some extra ports and other addition, but the engineers feel that the time is not right to give the CD drive the boot.
People still used CDs, and even DJs have a hard time letting go of their CD collection. They aren't large and clumsy like vinyl records, but they aren't exactly shatter proof either. The thing is that some DJs are either too stubborn or too romantic to imagine their lives without a tangible form of media, and they like the idea that they are still a part of the "DJing machine". Perhaps they also like the feeling of being part of their car with a manual transmission; instead of an automatic that does all of the work for you.

Welcome to East Salem. A deceptively sleepy town where ancient supernatural forces are being awakened.
A local high-school girl is found murdered in a park amid horse farms and the wealthy homes of northern Westchester County, New York. The shocking manner of her death intrigues forensic psychiatrist Dani Harris. All the suspects are teenagers who were at a party with the girl-yet none remembers what happened. Could one of them be a vicious killer? Or is something more sinister afoot-something tied to an ancient evil?
Across town, former NFL linebacker Tommy Gunderson finds his state-of-the-art security system has been breached by an elderly woman. Mumbling threats in Latin, she attacks him with an uncanny, preternatural strength. Before he has time to process the attack, someone close to him is implicated in the girl's murder at the park. He agrees to help-and finds himself working with Dani, the only girl who could resist his charm years ago when they were in high school.
A heavy darkness is spreading. Yet a heavenly force is also at work.
Dani and Tommy suspect there's more to the mystery than murder, more to their growing friendship than chance . . . and more to the evil they're facing than a mere human killer.

Woman killed in euthanasia case 'because she didn't want to be in nursing home'
A Dutch euthanasia clinic is being investigated for ending a woman's life because she did not want to live in a nursing home, with the euthanasia monitoring committee saying that the clinic did not observe the formal guidelines.
Prosecutors in the Netherlands are currently deciding whether to proceed with a case against the Levenseindekliniek (End of Life Clinic). There have as yet been no prosecutions for violating the guidelines on euthanasia since it was legalised in 2002.

25 August - Belgium. A remote-controlled banner (which was secretly installed several weeks before) was unfurled in front of the winner's podium at the Formula 1 Shell Belgian Grand Prix. The banner reads 'SaveTheArctic.org' with a subverted Shell logo. Shell is the main sponsor of the Belgian Grand Prix, paying millions to have its logo visible around the track. Shell is leading the oil companies' drive into the Arctic, investing billions in its Alaskan and Russian drilling programs. A worldwide movement of millions has sprung up to stop them.

So many of you already know that state Rep. Geanie Morrison has proposed a bill to move the University of Houston-Victoria into the Texas A&M University System.
It personally doesn't matter to me; I just don't want it to cause a lot of problems. From what I've read, UHV would possibly even have to change its mascot because Texas A&M University-San Antonio also is the Jaguars. There also are far bigger changes that would have to be made. There are some Victoria natives who don't want to see the University of Houston System leave Victoria, but it may happen. I hope whatever is decided fits best for the students and others involved with the change.
To change the subject, I hope everyone is enjoying their start to Spring Break 2011. I know I am. The beginning of my week will start with a golf tournament in Blanco, Texas. I hope the weather is nice and not rainy like is predicted. I also plan to spend time with my family and boyfriend. We've been planning to go play putt-putt, take a trip to the zoo, shop, play even more golf and much more!
Countdown until summer 2011 continues: Nine weeks! :]
Once again, I hope everyone has a fabulous Spring Break and a safe one, too!

where can I find the shuttle schedule
Original post made by Chloe on Nov 20, 2006
I am in town without a car for the next couple of days. I was told there was a shuttle that run up and down Embarcadero all day long. Is there a shuttle schedule available on the internet? Also, are there shuttles to go different routes as well?

Larry Pratt Smears Vivek Murthy As Nazi-Like 'Tool Of The State'
Gun Owners of America director Larry Pratt has been one of the drivers of the smear campaign against Vivek Murthy, President Obama's nominee for surgeon general, who has earned the ire of GOA and the NRA for daring to suggest that gun safety is related to public health.
One of the gun groups' beefs with Murthy is that his group, Doctors for America, opposed Florida's NRA-backed gag rule preventing physicians from asking patients about gun ownership in order to talk with them about firearm safety.
In an interview with WorldNetDaily yesterday, Pratt claimed that doctors who talk to their patients about gun safety are in fact reporting the information to the government like "German and Soviet doctors would send to the regime information about the people that were in their care."
Murthy's opposition to the gag rule, Pratt declared, "shows that he does not understand medical ethics," is a "willing tool of the state" and "looks at himself as a government functionary before he considers anything about medicine."
Later in the interview, Pratt insisted that such information from doctors would somehow end up in a national database and be hacked by a 14-year-old because "once you put information on a computer, then it's anybody's game" and "grandchildren are particularly adept at computers."
WND: What is the greatest concern about this potential nomination? Is it the fact that he's encouraging doctors to find out information on the Second Amendment usage of their patients, or is there more to it than that?
Pratt: His urging that particular policy shows that he does not understand medical ethics. That is such a question so far outside of anything to do with medicine, that it shows that he's a willing tool of the state, even as German doctors and Soviet doctors would send to the regime information about the people that were in their care. This is an extremely alarming attitude. This guy clearly looks at himself as a government functionary before he considers anything about medicine.
WND: Let's say the doctors did feel pressure to ask the questions to the patients about whether they own firearms and if so what kind of usage they participate in. What happens if that kind of information is collected?
Pratt: Once you put information on a computer, then it's anybody's game. I mean, grandchildren are particularly adept at computers. I would say a 14-year-old would be able to obtain that data no matter what.
