Cost and Financial Aid
The following are approximate tuition and fees for the MPA program, based on the 2015-2016 academic year tuition rates. Tuition and fees are subject to change. In general, the total cost of enrollment is determined by the student's residency status, program length and number of credit hours taken each semester. The MPA program ranges from 31 to 43 semester credit hours, depending on the number of waivers granted for previous coursework completed. A twelve- to fifteen-hour schedule is a typical course load for an MPA student in any given semester.
The tuition bill is payable after registration and covers the student's academic program costs, including tuition, mandatory fees and charges and college and course incidental fees. It does not include the following:
*The Office of Student Financial Services provides an estimated UT cost of attendance, including room and board, transportation, and personal expenses, which is based upon averages approved by The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The figure may not correspond exactly to the cost of living in Austin. Actual expenses will vary, depending on your lifestyle and family status, but Austin does offer a moderate cost of living. Please note that the tuition rates posted on the OSFS website are general estimates only; refer to the chart above or the Office of Accounting's Tuition and Fee Rates page ["Professional (excluding Law) Tuition" chart] for accurate tuition information. For detailed information about establishing Texas residency for tuition purposes, please visit the residency website.
Financial assistance programs are available to help with the costs of your MPA degree.
Federal loan programs provide a primary source of financial aid to domestic graduate business students. To be eligible to apply for federal financial aid, a student must be admitted to the MPA program, be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, be enrolled full-time for each semester that aid is received, and be in good scholastic standing (3.0 or better grade point average). The student must also have a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file. Once you have completed the FAFSA and are admitted to the MPA program, please contact the Office of Student Financial Services at 512-475-6282 if you have any questions regarding the status of your financial aid.
Applicants are automatically considered for merit scholarships at the time they are admitted to the MPA program. A scholarship application is not required. Merit scholarships are offered to admitted U.S. applicants who demonstrate a superior record of academic accomplishment in their application materials. In addition, out-of-state tuition waivers are awarded each year to high-achieving non-Texas residents. The MPA Program Office will notify admitted applicants who are awarded merit scholarships or out-of-state tuition waivers prior to their response deadlines.
The Terri L. Holbrook Scholarship in Accounting is offered through the Department of Accounting. Preference is given to MPA students who pursue the taxation track and have plans for a career in tax accounting. Recipients must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents with demonstrated financial need and academic achievement. Average award amount: $20,000. The MPA Program Office distributes the application to incoming traditional MPA students in the summer.
The Fifth Year Accounting Scholarships are funded by additional license fees paid by Texas CPA's and are administered by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy. Over their lifetime, students may receive a total of $5,000 or the amount of their demonstrated financial need (whichever is smaller). Applicants are evaluated based on the following criteria: Texas residency, financial need, grade point average, and a commitment to take the CPA exam in Texas. All students applying for the scholarship will need to have a FAFSA on file at the Office of Student Financial Services and submit the Application of Intent to the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy. The MPA Program Office distributes the application instructions and forms to students when funds become available; however, the MPA Program Office does not make the decision regarding who receives these scholarships.
Many organizations offer scholarships to encourage the pursuit of an accounting education. For example, the AICPA and TSCPA websites provide a listing of several scholarship opportunities.
The American Association of University Women offers fellowships, grants, and awards exclusively for women pursuing graduate degrees. Please visit the AAUW website for more information.
International students are not eligible for federal loans or Accounting Department recruiting scholarships. Financial aid for international students is extremely limited and therefore should not be relied upon.

For more information, please visit International Student & Scholar Services. For additional questions, contact the International Office at 512-471-2477.
Students should not plan to support their studies through on- or off-campus employment. Students may be authorized to work part-time on campus after registration. Off-campus employment is restricted by regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Permission to work off-campus may be requested only after a student has been in the United States for 12 months and only when there has been an unanticipated change in financial status.
Outside employment while enrolled as a full-time student is not recommended. If outside employment is a necessity, services are available to assist in the job search. These include: Hirealonghorn, UTemps, WorkInTexas.com and the classified ads in The Austin American-Statesman.

Twins on the way for Workington lottery winner Callie Rogers
Last updated at 07:10, Friday, 04 May 2012
Lottery millions winner Callie Rogers is pregnant with twin boys, it has been reported.
The 25-year-old from Workington, who shot to fame when she won almost £1.9m on the National Lottery in 2003 at the age of 16, is expecting the babies with fireman Paul Penny, 33.
She is due to give birth in three weeks.
Callie has posed naked for a magazine shoot showing off her tattooed baby bump.
And the latest edition of Closer magazine, which features the picture, reports her as saying: "I might not have any of my millions left but, for the first time in my life, I really do feel like I've won the lottery."
She told the magazine that she only had £40,000 left from her win and was living in a rented home in Workington.
The money went on properties, cars, holidays, gifts for friends and thousands on breast enlargements.
The magazine reports Callie as saying: "I made bad choices with men and was partying to the point where I was totally out of control".
Callie picked her winning numbers at Mills' newsagents on Cockermouth's Main Street in July 2003. She became the second youngest person in the country to win the lottery jackpot.
After the win the former pupil of Workington's Southfield Technology College, who had been living in foster care at the time, quit her £3.60-an-hour job at the Co-op store in Cockermouth where she stacked shelves and worked on the till.
A fortnight later she met Nicky Lawson, 29, and the couple had two children.
Following news about her twins, Callie told Closer magazine: "We didn't plan a baby, let alone two, but I'm truly the happiest I've ever been in my life.
"I've finally grown up and said goodbye to my troubled past.
"I have about £40,000 left but after that all my money is gone. But I'm really not worrying about it. I don't desire material things like I used to.
"I'm so excited about having my boys. It's the best gift anyone could ever have given me and far better than ever winning the jackpot.
"It's like I have been given another chance at happiness and for that I am extremely grateful."
The Times & Star tried to contact Callie this week but she was unavailable for comment.

Have your say
To Anon (2nd comment) If Callie wants to be 'left alone to enjoy the future with Paul and the twins' why is she willingly appearing in a national magazine announcing that she is expecting twins imminently?? I wish her and her partner all the best for the future, but in my opinion she should be keeping a low profile and leading a 'normal life' for the sake of all of her childrens futures.
If you aren't 'bothered' then don't read. Simples! I can't understand why people are so quick to judge others based on what they read....do you even know the girl? If only everyone was so perfect like yourselves.

Neoprene is a type of foam rubber that was
developed in the 1930s by scientists at DuPont. It
is used in virtually all wetsuits and is generally
laminated on either side with various materials to
produce varying degrees of stretch. BARE suits
generally use four different types of laminates
that produce four different degrees of stretch.
(1) Full-Stretch or 4-way stretch, used in our
ELASTEK suits, (2) Progressive-Stretch, used in
our Velocity series suits, (3) Powerstretch, used
in our Ignite series suits and (4) Standard
stretch used in our Sport s series suits.
What do I need to do before the dive?
When donning your boots be careful not to snag the
inner skin materials of the suit with fingernails,
rings, bracelets etc as this can affect the
sealing performance of your suit.
What do I need to do after the dive?
Prior to removing your boots be sure to unzip all
the zippers completely. Once all the zippers have
been unzipped, make your way out of the boots
taking care not to damage the boots by excessive
pulling or snagging with fingernails, rings,
bracelets etc.
How should I store my boots?
Salt water and chlorine can reduce the life of
your boots by drying out the neoprene. To keep
your BARE boots looking good and maintain their
health, after the dive you should let your boots
soak in warm freshwater for 30 min. After soaking,
rinse your boots and hang on a wetsuit hanger (a
thin hanger will stretch the suit). Be sure to
pull the zipper down all the way.
Note: Avoid placing your boots on hot surfaces and
storing in the trunk of your car for extended
periods of time.
What should I do about cuts or punctures on my
Sometimes, contact with rocks underwater is
unavoidable. Because of this, it is not uncommon
to get rips and tears in your boots wetsuit. If
you rip or tear your boots you can usually repair
it using neoprene glue by filling in the hole or
tear. Liquid Aquaseal is a common neoprene glue
that can be used for the repair and can be found
at one of our local retailers. Follow the
instructions on the packaging.

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
Cities that host bike-to-work events as their sole effort to increase commuter travel by bicycle may be missing a larger -- perhaps more valuable -- opportunity, according to a study involving the University of Colorado Boulder and led by the University of Colorado Denver.
Local governments should use bike-to-work days to find out from participants why they're attending and -- more importantly -- what prevents them from biking more often, according to the study.
Set against a backdrop of whining power saws and pounding hammers, scenic artists create self-contained worlds in which the Colorado Shakespeare Festival performances come to life. The painters wield brushes like magicians, transforming foam to stone, plain walls into gilded rooms, and new materials into antiques.
CU-Boulder's Program in Environmental Design is launching a new minor, to begin this fall, with three possible tracks: design, history and theory, and planning. The minor is open to students of all disciplines and provides a foundation in theory, history, and methodology employed in fields such as architecture, planning, landscape architecture and related design disciplines.
CU-Boulder environmental design students are helping an Indian reservation build energy-efficient housing. They're part of the Native American Sustainable Housing Initiative -- an academic and outreach program that is going strong and rececently was featured by South Dakota public television.
A group of 15 CU-Boulder environmental design students took their skills from studio to field this summer for a client-based construction project in New Mexico.
Diners at the Center for Community with an interest in fresh food and sustainability might swallow easier knowing that some of the ingredients they're savoring were grown by CU-Boulder students just yards away.
In class one recent Monday, a group of CU-Boulder undergraduates in environmental design met with a city of Boulder official to review their building plans, soon to be constructed by the students at the local Admiral Burke Park. That's when they learned of a hitch.
The student team can't build on certain parts of the grounds—those that aren't owned by the city, which is supporting the project.
Every gift matters, no matter the size.

2011 SLU Relay for Life One of the Largest In Nation
| The 2011 Relay for Life event raised more than $165,000 to fight cancer.
Photo by Chad Johnson.
The 2011 Saint Louis University Relay for Life event was recently recognized as the third largest collegiate relay in the nation per capita by the American Cancer Society. This marks the sixth consecutive year that SLU's event has placed in the top five.
More than 1,800 people raised more than $165,000 for the American Cancer Society during April's event. Relay for Life marks an opportunity to raises funds and awareness for cancer research and patients.
"It's indicative of SLU being recognized nationally for its service effort," Bobby Wassel, assistant director of the Office of Service and Community Engagement, said about the honor. "I think it's just additional proof that Billikens love to give back."
Preparations for next year's event are already underway and the Office is hoping to raise even more money to fight cancer. The 2012 Relay for Life will be held April 21-22 at Robert Hermann Soccer Stadium. For more information and to register a team, visit www.slurelay.org.
About Relay for Life
Relay for Life is an overnight event where teams of participants camp out at a track and take turns walking or jogging laps for the duration of the event. Teams may also host games or sell food and souvenirs during the event to raise money to fight cancer.
Traditional events at the Relay include the Survivors' Lap, where cancer survivors are invited to circle the track in celebration of their victory, and the Luminaria Ceremony, where candle are lit and participants walk in silence of those killed by the disease.
Relay for Life began in 1985 when Gordy Klatt, M.D., a Washington surgeon circled the track at Baker Stadium for 24 hours. Klatt ran more than 83 miles and raised $27,000 to fight cancer.
While running the track, Klatt thought about how others could participate and help raise money. Over the next few months, he pulled together a small committee to plan the first team relay event, known as the City of Destiny Classic 24-Hour Run Against Cancer.
In 1986, 19 teams took part in the first team Relay event at Stadium Bowl and raised $33,000.

John Dodson & John Moraga agree to fight at ABQ event in June
http://www.ufc.com/news/Two-Added-to...+Championship&The UFC's first card in Albuquerque on June 7 continues to get bigger and better with the addition of two bouts verbally agreed to on Wednesday.
In the flyweight division, top contender John Dodson will fight in front of his home fans against fellow 125-pound standout John Moraga. The bout is a rematch of a 2010 bout won by Dodson.
Plus, bantamweight phenom Sergio Pettis returns to action to take on Yaotzin Meza.

The fights just points to the need that the judging criteria needs to be re-evaluated, as everyone already knows. The 10 point must system will pick the "right" winner in 90% of fights but two different 10-9 rounds can be drastically different while they are scored the same.
Round 1 which was given to GSP by two of the judges was a toss up round with no real winner while the round where Hendricks rocked GSP is worth the same amount.
If I look at this as just a fight and ignore the scoring system then I definitely feel Hendricks won. However, if I look at the fight and apply the scoring criteria as laid out then it is a close fight which either fighter could have won. I can't fault the judges for giving it to either fighter.

Attorney files slew of motions attacking charges that he defrauded union for years
San Diego In the two decades he led the labor union for the nation's Border Patrol agents, T.J. Bonner carved a public profile as an aggressive advocate for his members and as a blunt, fearless critic of government policy.
Now Bonner, a Campo resident who retired from the agency two years ago, is bringing the same no-holds-barred approach to his biggest battle yet — fighting charges by the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Diego that he defrauded the union out of hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.
Bonner's lawyer, Eugene Iredale, has filed a slew of pretrial motions, attacking elements of the government's case and challenging the very basis for the investigation that led to Bonner's indictment in August.
Among the targets are the search warrants that federal investigators served on Bonner's two-story home in March. Bonner is also seeking to have the case dismissed on unusual grounds — that the agents who led the criminal probe did not have the authority under federal law to do so.
Federal prosecutors have responded that the warrants were valid and the evidence seized from them should be allowed.
Bonner, 59, has pleaded not guilty to charges of wire fraud and conspiracy. He was the leader of the National Border Patrol Council from 1989 to 2011.
The indictment says that during that time, he submitted false claims for reimbursement for wages, travel, meals and tickets to professional sports games. His reimbursement claims would say he had incurred the expenses while working on union business, when the government said he was not, and in many instances was actually visiting a mistress outside of Chicago.
The government said he defrauded the union out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Bonner has countered by contending the investigation is a retaliation against him by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Border Patrol for his years of work as the union leader and as a persistent thorn in their side.
In the March search, agents seized what Iredale described as "massive amounts of data" from various computers and computer data storage devices in Bonner's home. Iredale said in court filings that the seizure went far beyond what was called for in a warrant approved by a federal magistrate judge.
Investigators, who had been looking into Bonner's activities since late 2009 or early 2010, sought items such as bank records, financial statements and personal expense records.
Some 10,000 gigabytes of data — the equivalent of about 5 billion pages of text — were hauled out of the home, Iredale wrote in court papers. Included among those items are notes of "internal strategy discussions" of the labor union, performance appraisals, and emails between Bonner and a law firm that represented him before Iredale took on the case.
A second motion filed by Iredale challenges the investigation itself. The probe was headed by agents with the internal affairs section of Customs and Border Protection.
Iredale said federal rules governing criminal investigations only allow internal affairs agents to conduct criminal investigations if the inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security first declines to conduct its own investigation and then agrees to oversee the investigation by internal affairs.

8 dollars for a 20+ year old game. Sounds reasonable. I love the apologist mentality some folk have for Ninty.
Doubtful. Nintendo already have all of the resources/code etc. to do this. It's confusing as why it took them this long. Nintendo making a stable emulator for the Wii U isn't like hobbyist coders who made Znes or Snes9x.
contrary to popular belief, companies like ninendo don't just have developers hanging around doing nothing that they can throw random project to give away for free.
There are several reasons for the price.
- developer cost of the emulator
- Developer costs of customizing the roms to work with the new emulator and support the new WiiU features
- QnA teams costs to check the games actually work without errors and bugs in the new emulator. with the new features.
- market research, what price is the market willing to pay for games they cannot LEGALLY play otherwise without buying expensive old consoles and expensive rare out of production cartridges.

Chester budget increases 2.9 percentBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | January 31,2013CHESTER Higher operating expenses and county tax increases are the primary reasons for a 2.9 percent increase in the town budget next year, according to Town Manager David Pisha.
The Select Board last week approved a $2.43 million budget for next year, which is a $69,000 increase from this years $2.36 million budget.
The town is no longer receiving Federal Emergency Management Agency funds to cover Tropical Storm Irene recovery efforts, Pisha said. The budget increase will make up for the lost revenue and fund necessary town operations.
Another factor driving up the budget is cost of living expenses and fuel costs, he said.
Its nothing in particular. Its a lot of little things that cause the grand total to go up, Pisha said.
County taxes also played a role in increasing the spending plan, Pisha said. County taxes cover the Windsor County Sheriffs Department, probate court, county building and miscellaneous county operations.
According to Pisha, Chesters share of the county taxes doubled from $11,800 last year to $23,650 this year. He attributed the tax hike to two underfunded county budgets in 2011 and 2012.
County budgets are set by side judges who are appointed by the governor. They set a $416,000 budget in 2011 and a $474,450 budget in 2012. This year, Side Judges Jack Anderson and David Singer increased the budget by 14 percent to $542,000.
Pisha said it may be a while before Chester residents see a decrease in their county taxes.
County taxes are a significant chunk of our budget increase and it doesnt look like they will be going down anytime soon, he said.
In other town meeting articles, residents will vote on a 0.7 percent increase in the capital reserve fund. Next years capital reserve fund is $540,000, a $4,000 increase from this years $536,000 reserve fund, according to Pisha.
The following items have been allocated for next years reserve fund, according to the town meeting warrant: $124,400 for a new dump truck; $250,000 for a new grader; $60,000 for sidewalk replacement; $19,100 for a pump truck rebuild; $44,000 for a new police cruiser; $6,500 for a cemetery survey; $4,500 for a pool lift; $20,000 for Whiting Library upgrades and $7,500 for town hall upgrades.
The capital reserve fund is voted separately so residents can approve or disapprove specific items and then add them to the overall budget in a final budget vote.
There is one contested election on Town Meeting Day, according to Town Clerk Deborah Aldrich. Tami Ravlin will challenge incumbents Thomas Bock and Arunas Arne Jonynas for two one-year seats on the Chester Select Board.
Town meeting voting on articles from the floor begins at 6 p.m. March 4 on the second floor of Chester Town Hall. Australian ballot voting will take place on Town Meeting Day, March 5.

Tulsa Drops Season Opener at Iowa State 38-23
Sept. 1, 2012
Ames, Iowa - Iowa State overcame a 16-7 first quarter deficit and held off a fourth quarter comeback attempt by Tulsa for a 38-23 victory in front of the largest Iowa State opening day crowd of 54,931 fans at Jack Trice Stadium.
Tulsa led 16-7 after period number one, gaining 131 yards on 24 plays, but the Cyclones turned the tide in the second quarter outscoring the Hurricane 17-0 to take a 24-16 halftime lead. In the second period, ISU forced a Tulsa fumble and held the Hurricane to three-and-out on three of its next four possessions. The Cyclones out-gained the Hurricane in that quarter 201 to 56 yards.
The Cyclones kept their offensive attack in high gear in the third period when ISU went 82 yards in 12 plays, taking 3:26 off the clock, as James White raced the final six yards for a 31-16 lead with 5:08 remaining in the quarter. After building its15-point lead, the Cyclones punted on their next four possessions, but held on for the eventual victory.
Tulsa cut the Iowa State lead to eight points, 31-23 at the 9:12 mark of the fourth quarter, when the Hurricane went 92 yards in three plays and 1:02 off the clock, as Trey Watts' 77-yard run put Tulsa on the ISU seven-yard line, and two plays later Green connected with Keyarris Garrett on a four-yard TD.
After Iowa State punted the ball back to Tulsa with 6:53 remaining in the contest, the Hurricane offense went three and out and punted the ball back to the Cyclones. TU's defense held and forced an ISU punt with 3:38 left. After a first down thanks to a nifty sideline grab by Garrett, Green's fourth down pass was intercepted and returned to the Tulsa 10-yard line.
The final score of the game came on Johnson's five-yard rushing touchdown with two minutes remaining in the contest to give Iowa State a 38-23 advantage.
In the first quarter, Iowa State got on the scoreboard first on its second possession with a 43-yard pass play from Jantz to Josh Lenz at the 7:51 mark of the first quarter.
When Tulsa failed to score after a 59-yard kickoff return by Trey Watts to the ISU 36-yard line, a Hurricane punt put the Cyclones at the 3three-yard line. On the first play, Brentom Todd tackled Jeff Woody in the end zone for a 2-point safety.
Tulsa took the subsequent kick 56 yards in 10 plays as Douglas took a fourth-and-one handoff in for the score. Green threw the 2-point conversion to Thomas Roberson giving the Hurricane a 10-7 lead.
On Iowa State's subsequent possession, Demarco Nelson had his first interception in two years and took it 18 yards to the ISU 35-yard line setting up Tulsa's third score in less then seven minutes. Green connected with Roberson for a six-yard touchdown pass, capping the four-play drive in 0:59 seconds, but the PAT attempt by freshman Daniel Schwarz was blocked.
A completion to Burnham on Tulsa's first play of the second quarter was fumbled after a gain of 21 yards, and giving up the ball to the Cyclones at the Iowa State 49-yard line. Iowa State marched 51 yards in eight plays as quarterback Jantz raced in the final five yards for the Cyclones score, cutting the Hurricane lead to two points, 16-14.
Iowa State took its next possession for its third touchdown of the game, covering 70 yards in six plays and taking 1:53 off the clock as Jantz threw the final seven yards to Ernst Brun for a 21-16 lead following the extra point.
The Cyclones took a 24-16 lead as the first half clock hit 0:00 when Edwin Arceo knocked through a 30-yard field goal.
At the half, Iowa State held a 301 to 187-yard advantage in total offense. ISU threw for 240 yards and rushed for 53 yards, while the Hurricane gained 134 yards through the air and gained 53 yards on the ground.
On the day, Tulsa's Cody Green completed 23-of-49 passes for 198 yards and threw two touchdowns. Trey Watts surpassed 100 rushing yards for the third time in his career and ended the day with 125 yards and a new career long of 77, while backfield-mate Ja'Terian Douglas collected 11 rushes for 55 yards and a score. Bryan Burnham caught nine passes for 90 yards, while Thomas Roberson had four catches for 35 yards and a score.
Iowa State's Steele Jantz threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns, while Shontrelle Johnson gained 120 yards and one TD on the ground.
Tulsa opens the home season and the Conference USA campaign next Saturday with an 11:00 am game against the Tulane Green Wave.

Food-Stamp President?
So it turns out that I can still be shocked by public discourse. Yes, South Carolina is famous for primaries with dirty tricks and low blows; one almost looks forward to it, wondering what they'll do this time around. But my jaw dropped when Newt Gingrich called Barack Obama the "food-stamp president." Wait—is that a dog whistle I hear? I'm not always fond of Chris Matthews, but he sure did nail it: Everyone can hear the whistle now, not just the Southern racists of yore. We know the connections being made about race, laziness, welfare queens, and all the rest. And it's shocking to hear it out loud.
Over the weekend, Lee Siegel published an essay in The New York Times positing that Romney is, essentially, running as white—whiter than white, really, as white as you can get, free of Catholicism, cosmopolitanism, zealotry, adultery, or any other pollutant:
Of course, I'm not talking about a strict count of melanin density. I'm referring to the countless subtle and not-so-subtle ways he telegraphs to a certain type of voter that he is the cultural alternative to America's first black president. It is a whiteness grounded in a retro vision of the country, one of white picket fences and stay-at-home moms and fathers unashamed of working hard for corporate America....
Contrast that with Mr. Romney's meticulously cultivated whiteness. He is nearly always in immaculate white shirt sleeves. He is implacably polite, tossing off phrases like "oh gosh" with Stepford bonhomie. He has mastered Benjamin Franklin's honesty as the "best policy": a practiced insincerity, an instant sunniness that, though evidently inauthentic, provides a bland bass note that keeps everyone calm. This is the bygone world of Babbitt, of small-town Rotarians.
I'm not sure I agree with Siegel that that's culturally coded as "white"; it strikes me as retro rather than racial, although of course in that retro world, "the races" knew their separate places. But hers is an interesting thesis.
There's really no escaping race in this country, as I've discussed here several times before. I've long been interested in how Obama has presented himself as both black and not-black, culturally fluent in Kansas neighborliness but with an African American wife. Knowing that he couldn't escape race, he used it to signal change. That confused many progressives during the 2008 election, leading many to overlook his moderate campaign positions and to imagine that he offered something further left than he was saying out loud. The progressive dream of inspiration and change was a mirror image of how his blackness outraged many on the far right, who imagined him as more culturally foreign than he actually was, insisting that he was literally foreign-born and (sin of sins) Muslim.
What gives me hope is the overwhelming revulsion that Gingrich's comment has garnered. We all heard what he was saying. And it's not going to be enough to let him win.

Here is the thing that confuses me, why is anyone surprised about Newt's statement in SC? He made this statement before (about Obama being the food stamp president...I think his explanation is that more American's are receiving food stamps under President Obama than _______ ?). From my perspective, this has been a part of his politics as far back as I can recall (I am 41 and have not lived in his Congressional District, so my knowledge may be a bit limited)...Does any not recall Newt's statement to the effect that President Obama was expressing "Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior" (imagine that, being anti-colonial! how dare he! how dare anyone! and, exactly, what in the h3ll does that mean anyway?). No, I am not surprised...In fact, Newt is keeping with his chracater as I understand it.

Obama's " ...moderate campaign positions"????
Expand hate-crimes statutes
Raise the minimum wage
Reduce taxes further for the "poor" (already nearly half of American's pay no income tax)
Close Guantanamo.
Fight for passage of the Employee Free Choice Act
Pass the Dream Act
End Don't ask Don't Tell
Special tax on oil companies
These are all LEFT positions. In what kind of world view are these "Moderate"?

Congrats, Ms. Graff - you wrung every single possible molecule of hysterical pseudo-racial drama out of that line - and then some.
Attributing racism to every mention of "food stamps" by anyone not a democrat amounts to the pot calling the kettle black - (if you'll overlook the word "black" and not call me a racist for using it.)
Really, it reminds me of the time the NAACP started jumping up and down not too long ago because Hallmark put out a Birthday Card for juveniles depicting outer-space on the cover, complete with a space artifact labeled a "Black Hole." Either the members of the NAACP thought it was a reference to a "black hoe" or they objected to the word "black", I'm not sure which.
The food stamp comment was obviously a reference to the economy. The Victimology Theme is way overused in your columns, in my opinion. Calling something what it is not is only helpful to those who already want to believe that type of thing, or to those who benefit somehow from people (voters) believing that legitimate criticism is racism. Why not address the issue, instead of dismissing it as racism?

We do indeed have an admin that is oriented to advancing the Food Stamp Presidency. NOT for the Race baiters, code words, orientation that the article implies, indeed, outright states, but instead, for the DEPENDENCY of the food stamp money distributions. Newt referred to the INCOME RE DISTRIBUTION of the Food Stamp Presidency actions via his statement.
RACE has absolutely nada to do with this. The Welfare Dependency state does.
Money distribution to enhance dependency covers all tones of skin, all aspects of culture, all levels of money deprivation, in effect buying an entire voter bloc.
Progressives love to shift the true meaning of anyone decring the injustice of Money Re Distribution to race baiting. It is a convienent means to continue to the process while denigrating the observors statements.
Let us come to grips with all of this. EVERY PERSON IN THE US has the opportunity to become RE educated, to fine NEW work, to bootstrap if you will to a better future. Progressives would categorically deny this, yet we watch the OWS Moms Basement grunts continue to live off Parental Food stamps...

Given Newt's past actions, behaviors and statements, I think that it is reasonable to conclude that there were racially tinged overtones in his words. To act as though race doesn't matter in a country like ours is just as bad (if not worse) than finding racial overtones in everything that another person says or does. I am not calling Newt a racist (because I don't personally know him and quite frankly, its almost an insulting the way the word is used so loosely in contemporary discourse), but the fact of the matter is that Newt plays to a certain resentful, regressive, fearful segment of American society. For me, its fine if you believe otherwise, but the facts are the facts (not to mention that Newt is a hypocrite and petty a liar, but whatever). Furthermore, your belief in the "rugged individualism" mythology is just that-a myth. Again, you are certainly welcome to your own beliefs, but not your own facts. No one...not one single person in this country accomplished a single thing on his/her own. The notion that everyone, irrespective of background, race, gender, socio-economic status has the same opportunity if they are industrious, hard-working, intelligent, etc. is a falsehood (and quite frankly, always has been). Its a myth that's used to justify the inequities in our society among the haves and its a myth that convinces the have-nots that if they "just try harder", one day, they too may acquire untold riches (no matter how implausible). Again, its fine if that's what you want to believe, but it is not reality.

SC Senate advances a piece of ethics reform
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A bill heading to the Senate floor is designed to curtail candidates' ability to hide who's backing their campaigns.
The bill advanced Tuesday would reduce the pre-election black-out period for disclosing donations from 20 days to five.
Sponsoring Sen. Paul Thurmond had hoped to eliminate the black-out period candidates use to hide controversial donors until after an election. The Charleston Republican says voters should be able to find out where candidates get their money. He says the amended version represents an improvement he's willing to accept.
The House is expected to debate its broader ethics reform package this week. House Republicans drew fire after the bill was posted online last week over a section that decriminalizes some violations. They say that was unintentional and will be fixed on the floor.
You have indicated this comment should be removed.
The comment has been submitted for review. Thank you .

I am fully aware that it takes mega bucks to maintain/start a campaign for any elected position; HOWEVER, any candidate that accepts tainted money and/or funds from a "tainted" individual and these facts are made public, WILL NOT RECEIVE MY VOTE regardless of party allegiance!119098802

Taking its cues from pre-flapper style and early 20th century sensibility, this doll is every bit as elegant as the characters portrayed in the 1997 hit.
Costume is not removable.

For ages 6 and over.
Production doll may vary from the photo shown above. Mattel reserves the right to modify the fashion/fabrics, sculpt, hair color/style, and accessories. Doll cannot stand alone as shown.

How about one of these devices?
As far as I can get from that thread - it seems like it's not fully supported yet. Moreover, this thread has verified my stance of "I just wanna use it, I don't want to worry or mess about" so I will get a Mac. That said, a cheap side-project is also an option

|(Unless you count Liberty Cap, that is.)
I was going to skip it because of the extortion racket, but where there's a will, there's a way. It was my longest outing for any CO 14er, but it's done.

|Darin, a 14ers.com member sent out an invitation for Culebra partners. Culebra Peak is a mountain that I once said for a long time that I would never climb, I decided to make the climb anyway since I am getting fairly close to finishing all the Colorado 14er. It is the only Colorado 14er that you have to pay a fee to climb.
At first the plan was just to take Kessler, but Shaylee wanted to go and when I found out that the fee was 1/2 price for children under 12, I decided to take her as well.
The morning of the the climb we met Darin, Tiffany, Steve, Carla, Britt, Uwe, and Susan at the trailhead and we all headed up the mountain.
It was very foggy and we could hardly see! It remained foggy the entire climb to the summit.
The kids and I started out last (they were still sleeping in the vehicle when we arrived at the trailhead), but we caught up with the rest of the group and more or less stayed with them until the summit ridge.
In the fog, we took a slightly longer route and climbed the big subpeak (unranked 13er) along the way before descending to a saddle.
About this time, Kessler, Shaylee, and I left the rest of the group and headed up the summit ridge in the thick fog. It was still foggy all the way to the summit.
Kessler, Shaylee, and I waited on the summit for the rest of the group and enjoyed a few brief breaks in the clouds where you could actually see something. The caretaker at the ranch said that if we chose to climb Red Mountain we could pay the fee on the way back, but since it was so foggy we thought it was pointless to climb Red Mountain.
After a while, the rest of the group reached the summit and we had a long rest before heading back down.
About halfway down the clouds started to break and I wished we had gone up Red Mountain. Five of us took a more direct route down and waited for the others on a hill. Once we saw the rest of the group, we hiked the rest of the way back to the vehicles.
On the climb we saw several pikas and one big fat marmot. It was a great climb and a lot of fun.
Since it was still early, we headed to the Great Sand Dunes National Park for some more hiking/exploring and where we would spend the night.
The kids and I hiked around and climbed some sand dunes. The kids liked to play on them for quite a while so we had a very late dinner.

|Rare Winter Opportunity
Date Climbed: Feb 2, 2013
|Climbed the standard route in winter from all the way down at the Ranch HQ building with the same crew Brian mentioned. They only typically allow 1 or 2 winter ascents of this mountain a year, it was nice to get the opportunity to see this part of the state in a blanked of winter white!

|Climbed Culebra with a crew of about 17 peeps from 14ers.com. The Cielo Vista Ranch is transitioning management. Said we weren't allowed to climb Red Mountain as their "expert says it is unsafe". We were the first crew up this winter and had some epic trenching to gain Culebra's slopes.

|Most boring 14er
Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2012
|Until now, I'd have difficulties to decide which of my climbed 14ers was the worst. Now I am sure, it was Culebra. Borigh grass slope, the entire range looks like hills, the only excuse to pay 100 $ to a millionaire that owns it is when you are on the list and "need" to hike all 14ers. Otherwise, save your money and go ENYWHERE ELSE.

|It would have been easier to poke fun at our own idiocy of paying $100 ea to climb an easy 14er, if not for the mandated 7 am late start that put us in the path of a lightneing storm along the ridge retreat. Scariest 14er experience to date.
