"Teen Mom" star Amber Portwood decided to take jail time over rehab and anger management help a couple of years ago and she was locked up. During her time in jail, she didn't really get to see her daughter, so when she was released, her daughter had lots of questions as to where she had been and whether she would be leaving her again for jail. This struggle was shown on "Being Amber." But since being home, things have changed for her. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on March 24, "Teen Mom" star Amber Portwood is now revealing that she is getting lots of support from her Twitter fans after her release from jail.
Fans have been chatting with her on Twitter, asking her if she gets to see her daughter, Leah. "Yes and I'm also getting her again today," she confirmed. "Can't wait!" Of course, Gary Shirley has primary custody of Leah and lets her see her mother on a scheduled program. But when she doesn't see her daughter, it sounds like she is a little bored. "Is it possible to be this bored?" she tweeted. "Not good for me...can't wait for tomorrow. Sending love to all of you."
But most importantly, it sounds like she is sober for both herself and her daughter. Since getting out of jail, she has been focusing on her future and it sounds like her Twitter fans have been helping her out. "Thank you guys for helping me through this hard day...sending so much love back!" Amber tweeted to fans. "Goodnight and sweetest of dreams."
What do you think of Amber relying on fans to get better?

Has anyone considered: What if, the incident of the missing Malaysian Air Boeing 777, flight 370 jumbo jetliner carrying 239 passengers and crew, could be compared to the Left Behind series; except the whole aircraft disappears?
According to AOL, the plane was last detected on radar at 1:30 a.m. (1730 GMT Friday, March 7, 2014) around where the South China Sea meets the Gulf of Thailand, said authorities in Malaysia and Vietnam. Five days after this plane goes missing, there have been no recovery of the plane, passengers or crew.
The first book in the Left Behind series depicts an airborne Boeing 747 that is headed to London when, without any warning, passengers mysteriously disappear from their seats. Terror and chaos slowly spread not only through the plane but also worldwide as unusual events continue to unfold. For those who have been left behind, the apocalypse has just begun.
Many people are speculating about the Malaysian plane being lost at sea. Others are thinking that the two persons, who had stolen identification, may have been terrorists. It has not been determined, as of yet, if all the passengers & crew had family members back home, nonetheless, families are missing their relatives and others are missing friends and co-workers.
As time goes by, our world is getting worst and worst. Could the apocalypse be at hand? The revelation that authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins had for their book could be a real possibility.
Is this something that people want to consider? No, far from it; but it is a little morsel for thought. Men have tried to interpret the book of Revelation, yet what is the true interpretation?

Rony Barrak
« Back
Born in Lebanon in 1971, Rony Barrak began playing the darbouka (Middle Eastern tabla) at the age of four. At the age of 17, Barrak won a gold medal in a televised competition for young musicians in Lebanon and the Middle East. He moved to London in 1990, where he studied orchestral percussion and drum kit at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He later taught Middle Eastern percussion at Trinity College of Music.
Through performing, touring, and recording, Barrak became involved with great figures such as Sarah Brightman, Dave Grusin, Don Grusin, Patrick Leonard, Vanessa Mae, Bond, Jaz Coleman, Talvin Singh, Richard Galliano, Fairuz, Ziad Rahbani, Abboud Abdel Aal, and Simon Shaheen.
In addition to being one of the world's leading darbouka players, he assembled a percussion set that included djembes, cajon, bongos, udu, clay pot, cymbals, and parts of a drum kit. He also incorporated into his performances unfamiliar equipment such as car parts, demonstrating an ability to create melodious and harmonious combinations out of found objects. He has achieved a breakthrough success with the Symphonic Game Music Concerts, as well as PLAY!, a video game symphony.
Classical music remains Barrak's first love, and he has performed and recorded with numerous orchestras. In 2009, he performed with the Boulder Philharmonic the world premiere of his composition Beirut Sensations. In June 2011, Improvisation for Tabla and Orchestra had its world premiere in Bremen, Germany. His third world premiere, Boulder Sensations, was performed with the Boulder Philharmonic, in March 2012, in Colorado.
Barrak has participated in the Conference on World Affairs yearly since 2003.

Can Anti-Aging Doctors Prescribe Human Growth Hormone as Elixir of Youth?
The FDA has been in the news lately. For those returning from two month news-free National Geographic vacation in Antarctica, a compounding pharmacy in Massachusetts was supplying vials of preservative free methyl-prednisolone for epidural injections and much more. Some of these vials were tainted with fungus. Many people got sick. Some died. The FDA does not typically have any statutory authority over such compounding pharmacies. But, anything related to pharmaceuticals gone bad gets the attention of the FDA. So, it took us a while to get an answer from the FDA about a completely unrelated item – also in the news, but less so.
The cycling world went public with evidence about performance enhancing 'doping." Doping is defined broadly, and includes anabolic steroids, EPO, human growth hormone, and more. Whether doping was or is ubiquitous in the cycling world is not the subject of this blog. It's the question of whether doctors can prescribe various pharmaceuticals and stay on the right side of the law.
Who has not seen the commercials for "Low T?" Low T is the pharmaceutical companies'campaign addressing low testosterone. Doctors are routinely drawing blood testosterone levels for males in their 50s or 60s complaining of low energy, poor libido, depression, and so forth. If the age adjusted levels of "T" are low, testosterone patch can be prescribed. As long as there is documentation that the age adjusted levels are low, federal law seems to support the ability of doctors to prescribe testosterone to this population. Even if the patient later embarks on a career on the masters cycling circuit once the libido is back in proper working order.
What about human growth hormone? Human growth hormone ("HGH") levels decrease as we age. Some anti-aging clinics prescribe HGH ostensibly to help with "symptoms" of aging. As to whether HGH improves performance in the bed or in the gym remains unknown. What is not in doubt is that some doctors are prescribing it for these purposes.
Some physicians hold on to the commonly held belief they are immune from legal repercussions if their patients' HGH levels remain low. Said another way, these physicians believe they can legally prescribe HGH for anti-aging so long as the patient's levels are low compared to that of a robust 25 year old. Is this true? HGH is one of the few domains where the FDA has statutory authority over the practice of medicine. We posed the question directly to the FDA.
Their answer:
Generally, as you know, the Food and Drug Administration does not have authority over health care professionals or the practice of medicine. However, in the case of human growth hormones, we do.
The following section of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act provides the restrictions and penalties regarding the distribution of HGH:
- Title 21: Food and Drugs, Chapter 9–Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, Subchapter III: Prohibited Acts and Penalties, Sec. 333. Penalties.
Section (e) lists:
(e) Prohibited distribution of human growth hormone
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), whoever knowingly distributes, or possesses with intent to distribute, human growth hormone for any use in humans other than the treatment of a disease or other recognized medical condition, where such use has been authorized by the Secretary of Health and Human Services under section 355 of this title and pursuant to the order of a physician, is guilty of an offense punishable by not more than 5 years in prison, such fines as are authorized by title 18, or both.
(2) Whoever commits any offense set forth in paragraph (1) and such offense involves an individual under 18 years of age is punishable by not more than 10 years imprisonment, such fines as are authorized by title 18, or both.
(3) Any conviction for a violation of paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection shall be considered a felony violation of the Controlled Substances Act [21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.] for the purposes of forfeiture under section 413 of such Act [21 U.S.C. 853].
(4) As used in this subsection the term "human growth hormone" means somatrem, somatropin, or an analogue of either of them.
(5) The Drug Enforcement Administration is authorized to investigate offenses punishable by this subsection.
Not surprisingly, anti-aging benefits are not considered "the treatment of a disease or other recognized medical condition, where such use has been authorized by the Secretary of Health and Human Services under section 355 of this title …." In other words, while HGH levels do decrease over time, if the levels are typical for someone in his 50's, a prescription of HGH to a 55 year old might be a problem.
But, we could not be sure. So, we probed deeper. If the doctor does little more than write a prescription and it is filled by a pharmacy, is the doctor at legal risk? In other words, is the writing of a prescription considered the "distribution" of HGH?
Here is the FDA's answer provided to us earlier this month:
You asked whether a licensed physician writing a prescription for HGH for an unauthorized use, but not actually physically providing the HGH drug to a patient, would be a violation of 21 USC § 333(e).
The agency interprets "distribution" as used in 21 USC § 333(e) to include the writing of a prescription. In addition, all federal criminal statutes, including 21 USC § 333(e), are covered by 18 USC § 2:
"(a) Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.
(b) Whoever willfully causes an act to be done which if directly performed by him or another would be an offense against the United States, is punishable as a principal. "
I hope that this information is helpful in answering your questions. Please let me know if you have further questions.

So, there you have it.
As to whether low age-adjusted levels of HGH would provide a safe harbor, it is hard to say. The penalties for getting it wrong are severe. Caveat prescriber.

A well written Blog, as usual, that provides valuable information related to a controversial treatment for our aging population. No Physician prescriber can now claim that they did not know the answer to the legality of providing a prescription when the DEA knocks on the door of their office.

I want to commend Medical Justice for an exceptional article which is timely, extremely informative and legally important for physicians. Since, I have criticized your blogs, I thought you should know that I think this time you did a great job.
# Jim Coleman MDon 02 Nov 2012 at 5:00 pm
Good blog. How did we humans ever survive to the 21st century without "T" and HGH? Seems a miracle.
# Joe Horton MDon 02 Nov 2012 at 6:15 pm
What about a doctor prescribing it for and administering it to himself? Pretty much of a victimless crime?
# Medical Justiceon 02 Nov 2012 at 6:57 pm
I don't think prescribing HGH administering it to yourself would change the analysis.

In an excellent summary in Jl Law Policy by Cronin:
HGH is not scheduled. The Controlled Substance Act expressly exempts HGH from its reach.
HGH is regulated under the Federal Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA).
# David L. Mobley, M.D.on 02 Nov 2012 at 10:03 pm
One wonders why the FDA has this authority over the practice of medicine. As a plastic surgeon, I can attest that when they do have this authority, they tend to exercise it poorly.
# Roberto Novoaon 03 Nov 2012 at 7:38 am
I am a 60 y.o. male surgeon. I don't need nor want added testosterone, growth hormone or any other artificial make-me-feel-good pill. I feel just fine the way I am but if I wanted or needed to use any or all those hormones I would not want the FDA, the CIA, the FBI and certainly not BIG BROTHER OR SISTER to get between me and the physician who is supposed to make my life better and worth living. I am fortunate to be able to leave this country and live elsewhere. But what about those who are not? Don't we think that we care over regulated? Are we close to 1984 or what?
# Eric M. Joseph, M.D.on 03 Nov 2012 at 11:23 am
Excellent blog. Around 13 years ago, many prominent facial plastic surgeons were lecturing at national meetings about the anti-aging effects of HGH. In fact, most of these physicians were openly using HGH: even showing before and after photos of their faces and proclaiming numerous benefits after a year of regular use.
Government regulation, in my view, is not the right answer. There are numerous maladies associated with anabolic steroids, but other than needing to change your hat, or gradually increase the diameter of your headlight, I'm not aware of any significant health risks definitively associated with HGH. Am I wrong?
# Brian M. Kinneyon 03 Nov 2012 at 12:20 pm
Neal Reisman, Tom Perls and Jay Olshansky wrote an article in JAMA about seven years ago after meeting at a series of Anti-aging Meetings I co-chaired for ASPS, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Neal is a MD, JD plastic surgeon from Houston, Tom is an MD who is head of the New England Centenarian Project, and Jay Olshansky, PhD is a professor at the University of Illinois, Biodemographer and one of the chief consultants to the Social Security Administration on aging.
They wrote, in essence, that prescribing growth hormone to "normal" aging adults who did not have a medical documented deficiency is a felony.
Provision or Distribution of Growth Hormone for "Antiaging"
Clinical and Legal Issues Thomas T. Perls, MD, MPH; Neal R. Reisman, MD, JD; S. Jay Olshansky, PhD JAMA. 2005;294:2086-2090.
A quote from their landmark article
Physicians and other health care professionals should be aware that current law explicitly prohibits the distribution of GH except for clearly and narrowly defined indications. Distribution for other uses, or off-label use, such as for antiaging, age-related conditions, and enhancing athletic performance, are illegal.2, 35, 43, 45 Although GH is not a schedule III drug, section 303 [333] f(5) of the FDCA clearly provides the Drug Enforcement Administration with the responsibility of enforcing the laws governing human GH.35
Given the clinical concerns and the legal issues involved, we believe that physicians or other persons who currently market, distribute, or administer GH to their patients for any reason other than the well-defined approved (ie, legal) uses of the drug, should not do so. Pharmaceutical companies that manufacture GH should play a more effective role in making physicians and the public aware of the circumstances in which the marketing and distribution of GH are legal and illegal. Federal and state agencies should be allocated resources to better deal with the illegal distribution of GH. Finally, the FDA and professional and lay organizations are in excellent positions to conduct awareness campaigns to educate physicians and the public about the legal and medical ramifications of GH use for antiaging.
# Medical Justiceon 03 Nov 2012 at 12:25 pm
The FDA's restrictions on using HGH in adults seems limited to cases such as: "a growth-deficient child entering adulthood or a cancer patient whose glands have been crippled by radiation therapy." Jim Edwards, Bad Medicine, Brandweek, Mar. 20, 2006, available at http://
It is widely agreed that the risks associated with anabolic steroids are greater than HGH. That's why Congress converted to anabolic steroids to a scheduled drug under the CSA. Ironically, physicians have more latitude in prescribing schedul II to V drugs than HGH.
Probably would be helpful to have good studies on HGH looking at various objective metrics in adults. But, this would require significant red tape to get started – akin to studying a schedule I compound for helping patients cope with terminal illnesses.
# IHon 03 Nov 2012 at 4:51 pm
# Medical Justiceon 03 Nov 2012 at 5:19 pm
As best I understand it, HGH is not addressed by the Controlled Substance Act.
From the DEA, Office of Diversion Control:
"Human growth hormone is not controlled under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). However, as part of the 1990 Anabolic Steroids Control Act, the distribution and possession, with the intent to distribute, of hGH "for any use…other than the treatment of a disease or other recognized medical condition, where such use has been authorized by the Secretary of Health and Human Services…and pursuant to the order of a physician…" was criminalized as a five-year felony under the penalties chapter of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act of the FDA."
My read of the above is that the potential of 5 year jail time is NOT part of the Controlled Substance Act.
Then what to make of Section (e) (3) above which states: Any conviction for a violation of paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection shall be considered a felony violation of the Controlled Substances Act [21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.] for the purposes of forfeiture under section 413 of such Act [21 U.S.C. 853]?
This simply means that although not covered by the CSA, if a person is burned with conviction for HGH distribution, other penalties can attach – such as forfeiture of assets – as codified in the CSA.
I guess I am scratching my head on this too. The bigger point is that there are penalties for jail time and forfeiture of assets.

I have more bad news, the government is hiding the truth from us not only re; IRS, Fast and Furious and Bengazi, but also about the efficacy of HGH for specific indications and those of general anti-aging! Motivation is clear, if Obamacare or Medicare had to pay for this proven anti aging (aging is a disease) treatment the treasury would be double-broke! If you doubt the evidence just talk to leading doctors and researchers including these published articles: (a small sample below)
This article 1 reviews the effects of GH on burn wound repair and gut healing. Studies on GH have shown a significant reduction in wound-healing times in burned patients given GH at a dose of 0.6 IU/kg/day (0.2 mg/kg/day). At this dose, other studies have shown no increase in mortality, and a number of beneficial effects in critically burned children have been demonstrated. Animal studies have suggested that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), stimulated through the GH axis, plays an important role in the reconstitution of intestinal epithelial integrity following mucosal injury. Many encouraging papers report positive results regarding both the efficacy and safety of GH and IGF-I, therefore warranting continued investigation.

IMF Approves Three-Year US$117.3 Million Stand-By Arrangement for GabonPress Release No. 07/88
May 7, 2007
The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) today approved a three-year SDR 77.15 million (about US$117.3 million) Stand-By Arrangement for Gabon to support the country's economic program. The Gabonese authorities have indicated that they intend to treat the arrangement as precautionary.
Following the Executive Board discussion, Mr. Murilo Portugal, Deputy Managing Director and acting Chairman, stated:
"High oil prices and the favorable global economic environment provide Gabon with an opportunity to address pressing development needs and accelerate economic reforms aimed at reducing the economy's vulnerability to swings in oil prices and preparing it for the post-oil era.
"Building on its Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy, Gabon's economic program, for which the Fund provides support through a three-year Stand-By Arrangement, rests on three pillars: placing public finances on a permanently sustainable basis; strengthening public financial management, including the administration of oil revenue; and removing structural obstacles to private sector non-oil growth.
"Fiscal adjustment is critical to ensuring that public finances will remain sustainable in the face of historically volatile oil prices and the finite horizon of Gabon's oil reserves. The program envisages a significant step toward fiscal consolidation in 2007. A key measure is the sharp reduction in fuel price subsidies, which became effective in the first quarter of the year, accompanied by an increase in well-targeted spending to mitigate the impact of the reduction in subsidies on the poorest households. Looking ahead, it will be important to ensure that budgetary spending limits for the rest of the year are observed.
"Strengthening public financial management is an essential pillar of the economic reform program. With the objective of raising the quality and effectiveness of public expenditure, measures are underway to improve budget preparation and execution, including by introducing a medium-term expenditure framework and reinforcing public procurement. Important steps are also being taken to strengthen oil revenue administration. Improving public debt and asset management is key to achieving long-term fiscal sustainability. This will require a prudent debt strategy and an effective management of long-term fiscal reserves.
"Private sector development is critical for Gabon's long-term economic prosperity. To that end, the authorities' strategy appropriately focuses on restructuring public enterprises and improving the regulatory framework and the business environment, including by enhancing governance and transparency. The recent publication of Gabon's second EITI report, which expanded its coverage to include both the oil and the mining sectors, represents an important step in this process and the basis for further progress in this area. Strengthening the financial system to improve access to credit by the private sector is also a priority," Mr. Portugal said.
Recent Economic Developments
Against the background of declining oil production, the authorities embarked on a comprehensive economic reform program in 2003. In the context of a 14-month Stand-By Arrangement in 2004-05, they restored macroeconomic stability, eliminated all external payments arrears, and introduced far-reaching structural reforms to foster non-oil growth. The overall fiscal surplus and current account surplus of the balance of payments increased. Expenditure restraint contributed to a significant improvement in the non-oil balance, and the non-oil primary deficit fell to 9 percent of non-oil GDP by 2004, compared to close to 17 percent in 2001-02.
However, with a heavy political agenda in 2005-06 and oil prices setting new records, fiscal discipline proved difficult to sustain and structural reforms stalled. While the overall fiscal surplus and the balance of payments continued to strengthen in response to high oil prices, the non-oil primary deficit widened to 17 ½ percent of non-oil GDP in 2005, well above the government budgetary target.
Non-oil economic activity strengthened further in 2006, partly in response to the large fiscal stimulus, and inflation also rose from the very low level experienced in 2004-05, reaching 6.4 percent at end-December 2006. But while buoyant oil revenue continued to generate large fiscal surpluses, spending overruns put pressure on the non-oil deficit, which rose to an estimated 18 percent in 2006.
Program Summary
The key objectives of the government's program are to prepare the economy for the post-oil era and to make decisive progress in poverty reduction. To that end, the proposed program will rest on three pillars:
• making significant progress toward a permanently-sustainable fiscal position, with the aim of avoiding harmful, oil revenue-related boom-bust cycles and preparing for the eventual exhaustion of oil reserves;
• strengthening oil revenue administration and public financial management, with the objective of raising the quality and effectiveness of public spending to ensure a higher return on physical infrastructure investment and improve social services;
• removing structural obstacles to private sector-led non-oil growth, by improving the business climate, including through enhanced governance and transparency.
The government's program aims for significant, front-loaded fiscal adjustment, which is needed to put public finances on a more sustainable footing. At the same time, it encompasses a comprehensive strategy to strengthen public financial management, which is critical both to guard against the risk of renewed fiscal slippage and to raise the quality and effectiveness of public spending. And finally, it incorporates an agenda for private sector development, which is essential for long-term, sustainable growth.

Mike Neimoyer, Outdoor and Environmental Education assistant, exploring Petra, Jordan.
The dates are July 30 - August 18, 2016. The cost ($1,850) covers tuition, food, transportation, all group equipment, and instruction.
Three credits are earned (CIL 110) toward overall graduation requirements (however, no general education/distribution requirements are met).
Absolutely not! In fact the vast majority of students who participate in August Wilderness have little to no experience on a trip of this type. We design the route and activities to ensure that everyone can feel successful on the program. However, we do ask that students adopt some kind of exercise regime in the months leading up to the trip, though it doesn't need to be super instense! Those who arrive in good physical condition tend to feel more comfortable with the trip's physical aspects more quickly.
Some suggestions for helpful exercises:
Short answer: confirm your enrollment in August Wilderness by paying the $200 deposit.
Applications are received on a rolling basis, and positions are filled first-come, first-served. The earlier you turn in your application and deposit the better the chance of being placed on your first choice program.
Occasionally, students are wait-listed on their first choice and may be placed on their second choice. While every effort is made to place students in their first choice program, heavy enrollment can leave late applicants without a position on either program.
All common group gear (backpacks, cooking equipment, tents, sleeping bags, etc.) is provided by the program. Students need only provide their own clothing and personal camping supplies (MTN equipment, WTR equipment).
Registration will take place on Saturday, July 30, from 9:30-11:00 a.m. EDT (New York Time). During the registration time, there will be instructors and administrators present for introductions and last-minute questions with parents. Students will have time to place items for the rest of the semester in storage at that time as well. An opening ceremony in the campus Meetinghouse commences at 11:30 am that parents and friends are welcome to attend. Students are "on course" at lunch-time (approximately 12 noon).
We will offer a shuttle service to campus from the Dayton airport only. Shuttle times vary but are typically run from noon to 8 p.m. on Friday. We do not recommend flying in on arrival day due to the risk of a flight cancellation prohibiting a student from making the trip. We have a special group rate at the Quaker Hill Conference Center (765/962-5741) for students arriving on Friday and will shuttle them to campus on Saturday for Arrival Day.
You can. Students will have the opportunity to store a reasonable amount of their belongings upon arrival. The program will end on the day before New Student Week begins (Friday) and students will have time to retrieve their items, move into their dorm rooms, and settle in the day before the other new students arrive. Parents may also come to campus upon the program's return to Earlham and bring their student's items then.
While students may have their cell phones on registration day, we ask that students not take cell phones (or tablets, e-readers, etc.) with them on course for several reasons. First, they detract from the intention and atmosphere of the trip. We encourage students to be inclusive, participating, and present, not on phones or screens. Second, they will not work in most of the areas we will be traveling through. Finally, staff members will have satellite phones with them in the case of emergency.
Students will return to Indiana on the evening of August 17 and will camp on a farm near campus. The following morning (Thurs., Aug. 18) students will arrive back on campus and will complete a gear clean-up and program wrap-up. A final closing ceremony will be held at approximately 11:30 am on the Heart at the center of campus (family and friends are invited). After the closing ceremony, students are free to go settle into their rooms and begin their college journey on campus! Friday is the start of New Student Orientation, for which all new students will be present.
Groups on all courses will travel by 12-passenger van to course areas. We will use the travel time to get to know each other and experience the subtle changes in terrain and vegetation while camping at state parks along the way (and, inevitably, nap). Instructors are certified to drive these vans and follow a strict driving protocol.
The 20-day program breaks down to approximately three travel days to and from the activity site, two logistics days at the beginning and end, and 13 days on trail. Usually, students take showers at the conclusion of the program. During the 13-day wilderness component, "bird baths" in lakes and streams keep you reasonably clean (you really don't notice it while in the backcountry).
The bill for the program charges (less your deposit and any scholarship awards) will be placed on your account in July/August as part of your Earlham monthly statement. Trip cancellations must be received in writing to the August Wilderness office. There will be NO REFUNDS for the course fee after July 1 each year.
If you decide to withdraw from August Wilderness prior to July 1, your deposit will transfer to your general Earlham account to be used for any EC-related expense you desire.
We offer need-based scholarships to all qualified students. The award is calculated through the financial aid office using your FAFSA and, at its maximum, can account for a 50% reduction in program tuition. August Wilderness scholarships do not affect a student's financial package from the College.
The deadline for financial aid is May 15 each year. Award announcements will be mailed out approximately two weeks after the deadline.
For the safety of all participants involved, students and faculty alike, all off-campus programs require that participants be current on all vaccinations. There are no exceptions granted, and no waivers allowed for August Wilderness. If you have not had vaccinations, you will need to start.
All of our student instructors have been hired based on criteria of leadership (backcountry and frontcountry), experience, judgment, character and completion of instructor trainings. Instructors will have completed Outdoor Trip Leadership, the Advanced Field Practicum, and a Wilderness First Responder course (facilitated by SOLO Wilderness Medicine School, a leader in wilderness medicine education), in addition to other supplementary backcountry experiences and trainings.
While faculty instructors are not required to have WFR training, many are certified and have other life experiences that contribute to their judgment in safety-related situations. Additionally, all instructor teams carry emergency communication devices that allow them to reach out-of-field emergency contacts and emergency services in the area. (These devices cannot be used to put parents in contact with their child during the trip.)

Delightful indie band Wye Oak has returned with a new album, Shriek ($11). This time around, the band has dropped its signature guitar-led tracks, instead opting for a new synthesizer sound. While it's a solid and thoughtful album, longtime fans may miss the kind of tunes that helped them to fall in love with Wye Oak in the first place. Even if the musical genre has changed, however, it's still impossible to not be impressed with the band's artistry.

JACKSON – Tre Welch didn't get to touch Booneville's gold ball from the Blue Devils' 1963 state championship win.
Instead, the senior guard was told by his coach, Michael Smith, that he needed to win one of his own.
"He told me, 'This one's not your's, you've got to earn it,'" Welch said Thursday after helping lead Booneville to a 60-55 victory over Corinth in the MHSAA Class 3A state championship game. "He wouldn't let me touch it."
Smith sent his team through a mock postgame state championship awards ceremony following a practice this week. He wanted his players to plan how they wanted the postgame activity to go.
The team decided to let its two seniors – Welch and Braxton Crockett – accept the gold ball. However, that plan failed.
"We thought the two seniors would go, but everybody went out there," Welch said, then laughed. "Everybody was too overjoyed."
Team news conference
– Booneville continued its team concept even in the postgame news conference.
Usually, a coach and a couple of players from each participating team are brought to an interview room. Smith brought all 20 of players and a handful of staffers.
"We made a commitment to bring all 20 in here," the coach said. "We're a family; it's the reason we're here – because of their commitment to unselfishness.
"It speaks volumes of who we are."
Third choice a charm
– Katie Bates was a volunteer assistant basketball coach five years ago for Ripley High School.
"I just loved basketball," said the Lady Tigers' coach, who is a former Pine Grove and Northeast Mississippi Community College player. "This job happened for me by chance. I was an assistant coach, who was third in line for the job."
The two candidates ahead of her in 2007, turned the job down.
"I just want to say how thankful I am," she said. "This group of girls was 10-17 as freshmen. We only won one game after Christmas holidays. They've really come a long way."
So has their coach.
India survives season
– Ripley senior guard India Howard saw her sophomore and junior seasons end with torn ACLs. This year she made it from start to finish.
"I'm very excited," she said, sitting in front of the team's state championship gold ball. "I didn't think I'd ever play again. I love basketball so much.
"Last year I was on crutches and didn't get to play (in the championship game loss to Belmont). I think I cried more than anybody."
Howard played 30 minutes and scored eight points in the Tigers' championship win against Choctaw Central.

Life is like looking through smoke and mirrors, shifting visions
And I am constantly asking questions fighting answers
It was never quite right, and I never knew how
the pieces didn't fit
In a world of mysteries
Where nothing's how it's meant to be
Suddenly You came to me
Broke through my uncertainty
You gave me hope so I believe
You are my Epiphany
Tears flow from the darkest places, from empty spaces
And You came like a light that filled the corners of my mind
When it's never quite right, I never knew how
You make the pieces fit
And it feels just like the morning rays
Breaking through the grey
And it feels just like the pouring rain
washing my fear away

Member of the reality-based community of progressive (not anonymous) Massachusetts blogs
With only one week to go, we the voters of the Democratic primary need to choose our pick to replace the irreplaceable Ted Kennedy, who will go on to the general election in January (and let's face it, on to the Senate). My endorsement comes late but no less enthusiastic. I endorse Mike Capuano for US Senate.
In looking at all the candidates, really only two are known progressives, and of those two, one has been tried in office and has stood up against Bush era abuses, against the Iraq war, for protecting civil liberties, and has a practical progressive view on how to get things done in Washington. As much as I'd hate to see him leave the House, I think the Senate needs Capuano desperately.
There is the other progressive in the race, Alan Khazei, and I hope he runs for office in the future. A lot of my progressive friends are on board with his campaign, but I have two major problems with him: one, that on a practical level, he's highly unlikely to win; and two, some of the missteps in his campaign, though understandable, make him look rather green. For instance, I applaud his stance on casinos, but the forums in which he brought the matter up were inappropriate, and also, irrelevant. The only power a Senator would have in the state debate about casinos is the bully pulpit, and a freshman Senator, not even much of that. A lower office would suit Khazei so that he can gain the experience needed to move further up, but I just don't see the "ready for prime time" practicality necessary to make something happen in the mess of a Senate.
I am sincerely skeptical about Coakley, and moreso the longer this campaign goes and she listens to her consultants and "plays it safe." That's not to say she might not turn out to be a good progressive, but the manner in which she has run her campaign doesn't showcase this potential whatsoever. She has failed to reach out to the grassroots, or the netroots, and I'm really kinda sick of the only way I actually hear about her campaign: ads on TV, and press releases to my email like every day or so. It would take very little for her to change the impression that we out here in the 'roots have of her, but no effort so far. More's the pity. I want to ask: How will she govern, if this is the way she runs?
Her reversal on the increase of troops in Afghanistan is nothing short of bewildering. First she says she'll wait to hear the President's evaluation (a "safe" though actually defensible position), and now, that the other candidates say they are against increasing the troops without a timeline for withdrawal, now she is. Way to stick to your guns.
Pagliuca is dismissible, if not for his gobs of money which makes him a household name now. Anyone else tired of Pags ads? Doth protest too much? His is a vanity campaign, except he has spent so much cash that he actually has a bit of a shot. My friend Ryan (who has endorsed Khazei) does a good job running down the reasons why this guy is in fourth place for the progressive vote. I have no use for a guy whose first indication of progressiveness is his ads on TV, when all his previous actions say something different.
But enough about why not to vote for the other guy. Why should you vote for Mike Capuano?
For me, it's about the combination of practical attitude and steady principles. The man who held this seat for so long had a lot of both of these elements. Kennedy's time in the Senate was about holding the line against conservative and neo-liberal policies, many of which resulted in the mess we are in today. A shift of the conservatives to the right corresponded with a shift of the Democrats to the right (even right of center) with devastating results. But not for Ted, and a vast majority of his constituents thanked him for it.
That's why I want someone with similar principles, and similar practicality, to hold this office again. We need to adhere to our ideals…not because we want to be extremist, but because in reality, on issue after issue, we have the American people on our side. If we want to be rewarded with the trust of the people, we should stand for something. And then follow through.
Mike Capuano has a history of working with others to accomplish goals. He seems to know when to compromise, and when to stand firm. (Hint: eroding our civil liberties was one of latter.) Kennedy knew how to garner the respect of his peers, even as they took opposite sides on an issue. I believe that Mike Capuano is best able to replace that man who held constituent services as dear as passing a health care bill.
Finally, Capuano has shown he is of the grassroots. He has held event after event, out on the streets, unscripted. He is knowledgeable on the issues, answers questions from anyone, has deigned to interview with such rabble as bloggers and podcasters (gasp!), and generally displayed an attitude of listening as much as talking. He is down to earth and not driven by consultants (though I'm sure he employs some), and doesn't apologize for being himself. All of these things make him the best Democrat to replace Ted Kennedy as our second Senator from Massachusetts.
Wow. You and Pat McCarthy!
Coakley has lost my vote. I'm voting for Caps. Mostly because he, as you say,"doesn't apologize for being himself." He is comfortable in his own skin. Also there is this ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv7DltjLuEM
I am not as liberal as Caps, but much of MA is, so he fits the state.
All that said, Coakley will still win. I plan on pitching in to beat whoever the Rs put up.
John Cox has also endorsed Capuano.
RE Comment#2
Oh no! This actually has Lynne agreeing with Cox - we can't be having that:)
To both observer and Jack: A stopped clock and all.
In the early 1930s twenty-eight state legislatures passed laws placing moratoriums on home foreclosures of people out of work - who ever says they will introduce such a bill in Congress as their first official act gets my vote - - and oh yes I am waiting for Hell to freeze over too.
Our state legislature takes a six-week vacation while unemployment goes up, revenues go down, and many of the unemployed in our state are running out of unemployment insurance. And, in Congress no one in our state delegation has said much of anything about the stimulus plan's failure to generate jobs. Where oh where is there somebody with a spine willing to state the obvious- people are hurting badly and for the most part their government has abandoned them and is willing to let a stew of cronies in the White House who helped to caused the mess we are in pretend to fix it while continuing to shovel tax payer money to big banks and insurance companies. There oughta be a law!
For me, I will walk in to the polls backward with a blindfold on to vote for the lesser of several evils.
On this one, I am with Ryan "…I think Capuano is still a good vote. I just think Khazei is a better one."
I'm sure Mike Capuano is estatic. He might as well stop campaigning, kick back, and wait for the votes to pour in.
Lynne, who are you endorsing for the ProBowl this year?
What have you done except complain?
Are you not a local professor who has clout? I see your op'eds in the Lowell Sun.
Have you called Congresswoman Tsongas or any other elected official to discuss how you can help this "Global Crisis"?
I hope that you have called someone or all of them.
Wait, your are probably waiting for them to call you because you are too busy with your 3 classes and protected tenure.
Give me a break — go out and try to earn some money instead of pontificating to the masses on a local blog.
What a joke !!!
By the way Lynne and John Cox on the same side? I might vote for Caps just to see these two at the victory party together.
**********Politics make strange bedfellows*************

Your second comment was NOT let through, as it contained over the top personal attacks that were unnecessary and not contributing anything what so ever to the conversation. This is your warning about your conduct on the blog, because your second comment was not acceptable here. Please refrain from this sort of vitriol against another commenter. Thanks. –Lynne]
One of Mike's campaign choked up seriously when he made the allegation that "nobody in Congress would ever support the abolition of the Federal Reserve System." Well dumb ass, there is at least one guy and his name is Ron Paul. Caps is just a stooge like them all, Republican and Democrat, who would never vote against something…that caused an economic crisis. Okay, cool. You've proven that you want to be a slave of big government causes. You are totally going to get my vote. Not.
Whine whine whine…
Ron Paul is a crazy dude. If that's your idea of an ideal candidate then I can't help you…

Aimee Echo on Ciao Baby, the relationship between emo and nu-metal, and how much money you can make as a high priestess of it
Left: Aimee Echo in Cardiff
Photo by Matt Hamm
With a pedigree that includes Snot and Human Waste Project, that theSTART are still virtually unknown on these shores is strange enough. The fact that they've been tossing out perfect electro-fused new wave punk years before the indie scene caught on is damn near criminal. Phill May caught up with the legendary Aimee Echo in Cardiff to talk about new album Ciao Baby, how today's emo scene reflects the rise of nu-metal, and turning down "sh*t-ton"'s of money...
Chances are, you won't have heard of theSTART. Having recently released their third album of infectious, engaging music, and containing an admirable musical lineage, they remain bafflingly bereft of a decent push on these shores. However, in a musical climate full of hip electro acts and even heavier music becoming more accepting of electronic elements, their melding of indie, punk and metal with new-wave and electro proves their time in the spotlight is long overdue.
Originally consisting of two parts Snot (Jamie Miller and guitarist Mike Smith) and two parts Human Waste Project (Aimee Echo and drummer Scott Ellis), theSTART went through a number of line-up changes, settling on bassist Lance Webber and drummer Chelsea Davis. It's led to a diversity of sounds within theSTART's development. Their latest release, Ciao Baby, for instance has less guitar and more electronics, keys and layers than ever before.
"I think that every time, we just do what were feeling." Crammed into Cardiff Barflys tiny band room on a damp Sunday, Aimee Echo is natural, friendly and effortlessly cheerful "At this point, again, we're at a line-up change with our band. We're worse than Spinal Tap as far drummers go. Only one has lost a leg, and this one hasn't exploded yet. Yet."
theSTART's remaining founders, Aimee Echo and Jamie Miller, have a commendable history, whos previous bands were cut short before attaining the success they were tipped for. Miller's band, Snot, had their time cut short by the tragic death of frontman Lynn Strait. Echo's Human Waste Project were a too-short-lived band that could have shaped the developing nu-metal scene something that at the time could have earned the band success, promotion and as Echo puts it: "A sh*t-ton of money." Thing is, HWP weren't nu-metal. They weren't even that far from theSTART. But having friends and touring buddies in the likes of Korn, Deftones and Coal Chamber, clearly made you guilty by association.
"Yeah, whether we sounded like it or not! The thing that's interesting about it is that there were so many bands that were so diverse at that point from the scene that we were coming up out of in Los Angeles. The most successful of all of them had 'sort of' a similar sound, but even those bands were dissimilar. You wouldnt say that Korn sounds like the Deftones. I don't think that they do."
They didn't then and they don't now. But that didn't stop HWP from ending up in the same pigeonhole, and as with any emerging scene, a tidal wave of imitators was hot on their heels.
"It was really Korn, us and Deftones and then Coal Chamber and a few others coming later from that scene, and everybody was completely different, sounded completely different. It was sort of the bands that followed in the wake that defined what 'nu-metal' was. We never even called ourselves a metal band; it was other people that tagged us with that."
HWP never adhered to the image and style created by those bands that followed, but instead of highlighting this, the press instead focussed on what at the time was a rare occurrence in heavy music a female vocalist.
"Actually, that's kind of why I quit the band when I was called 'the high-priestess of nu-metal'. It was kind of depressing. I was like 'If this is how it's going to be, then I think it's time to start over'. The funny thing is that so many people really did take that scene kind of what's happening with Emo right now they took that scene and said 'Oh, if we do this, if we dress like this and look like this and sound like this, well make a sh*t ton of money.' And we didn't dress like that, sound like that or look like that, and we were getting called that. We could have tweaked a couple of things here and there because of where we were at, and we could have made a sh*t ton of money."
And what did Echo do about this potentially lucrative prospect?
"Instead... I preferred to walk away... and starve."
It would have been easier to compromise her band and be the 'High Priestess' everyone wanted her to be; Human Waste Project could still be in the Family Values tour line-up and the CD racks of thousands of homes. But she left and formed another band. Rockmidgets couldnt be happier about that: Nu-metal may have gone on to make a lot of money, but it also went on to become the most maligned genre a band could ever be pigeonholed into. Nearly a decade on, theSTART have three diverse, exciting albums behind them. They may not get the promotion or push they deserve, but they can be who they want to be. And while the venues of their recent UK tour may not have been full, Echo remains relentlessly upbeat.
"We're having a blast. I'm really excited that people even care to come to shows. This is our first real official album release, this is our first real official tour... I know that a lot of it has to do with my old band but it's shocking that ten years later people even know that band existed. Especially with people's attention spans and the way the media is these days, people don't remember a band that came out last year... So. It's been good, it's been fun. We're just coming over and seeing what happens. So if there's fifty people in the room, I'm happy."
A few hours later, theSTART play in front of around that number, a mere handful with prior knowledge of the band. By the end of the set, everyone is having a good time. This is what theSTART are capable of and why it's so baffling that a country currently rife with awful bands using any old new-wave or 80s synth get coverage in major music magazines and sell out venues yet remain blissfully unaware of a band that has been doing something similar but better since the turn of the century. Chances are, you won't see theSTART on magazine covers or British radio any time soon. But they're having a blast, making the music they want to, so its not their fault that were missing out.

BMW 3 Series (E34) Body Kits
Featured Body Kits Products
BMW 3 Series (E34) body kits are exterior components that can be used to revise and rejuvenate a outward look. After years of wear and tear, the exterior parts on many automobiles begins to look old and, frankly, ugly. Any damage to a vehicle's paint job or to the exterior components themselves can depreciate a automobile's market value, making the use of bodykit is just that important. A body kit can make a car look more attractive, without ever replacing any of the mechanics of the vehicle.
Some custom BMW 3 Series (E34) body kit upgrades come with replacements for a couple of exterior parts, air dams and side skirts. These are the areas of a vehicle that are often damaged from daily driving, but they aren't the only parts that can be easily replaced. Other aftermarket body parts can be used to upgrade a car's exterior style, so BMW 3 Series (E34) body kit can often be tailored to a driver's specific requirement. For an upgraded look that takes off the poor looks created from years of driving, a simple body kit can make you smile.

If I forget thee Jerusalem. Oops! The Democrats just did
September 5, 2012 | 3:55 am
Why the Democrats have decided to omit Jerusalem from their party platform is utterly beyond me. There is nothing more predictable than the ensuing attacks from the right following such an omission. There's nothing more likely to trouble Jewish voters who still care about Israel...

The latest poll: 55% Democrat, 22% Republican

In our previous Jewish Party Identification post we were able to bring some order to the seemingly conflicting numbers from different polls - putting the percentage of Jewish Democrats on 65%-68% and the percentage of Jewish Republicans on 27%-29%. What we have in this post...

Off to see the Marshall in Horsham
By user12625760 on Apr 15, 2007
Once again we were off to Horsham this to meet up with one of our members who was sitting on the roundabout above the A24 marshalling a 25 mile time trial for the Redmon cycling club. Now I'm pretty much all in favour of riding a bike in any situation but I struggle to see why 200 riders wanted to be riding up and down the A264 and A24 on a Sunday morning. Yes it is quite a laugh cruising along at 25mph or more on the flat roads for a short while, and yes statistically these busy roads are not more dangerous than other roads but it certainly feels more dangerous and the risks some riders took entering the roundabout while we were, in my opinion, greater than is conducive to a long life.
Anyway we were forced to take the A24 for 2 junctions and then a short section of the A264 East which since we were on fast A roads it would have been rude not to have put the hammer down for some proper speed work. Then we returned to minor roads and a much more civilised ride back through Rusper, then a blast to Newdigate and on to Henfold lakes for some breakfast. The Sun was out the day is glorious and so trying to ride at more than 25mph was the order of the day, perhaps I can see the pull of those A roads after all.
After that it was the quick flat way home to wind up with a distance of 72 miles and an average speed of 16.9mph.

The final swing state ó Florida ó remained too close to call. (AP Photo/Richard Drew) NANCY BENAC and NEDRA PICKLER | Associated Press Nov. 7, 2012; 4:27 p.m. Comments WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama faces a new urgent task now that he has a second term, working with a status-quo Congress to address an impending financial crisis that economists say could send the country back into recession. "You made your voice heard," Obama said in his acceptance speech, signaling that he believes the bulk of the country is behind his policies. It's a sticking point for House Republicans, sure to balk at that. The same voters who gave Obama four more years in office also elected a divided Congress, sticking with the dynamic that has made it so hard for the president to advance his agenda. Democrats retained control of the Senate; Republicans kept their House majority. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, spoke of a dual mandate. "If there is a mandate, it is a mandate for both parties to find common ground and take steps together to help our economy grow and create jobs," he said. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky had a more harsh assessment. "The voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses of the president's first term," McConnell said. "They have simply given him more time to finish the job they asked him to do together" with a balanced Congress. Obama's more narrow victory was nothing like the jubilant celebration in 2008, when his hope-and-change election as the nation's first black president captivated the world. This time, Obama ground it out with a stay-the-course pitch that essentially boiled down to a plea for more time to make things right and a hope that Congress will be more accommodating than in the past. The most pressing challenges immediately ahead for the 44th president are all too familiar: an economy still baby-stepping its way toward full health; 23 million people out of work or in search of better jobs; civil war in Syria; a menacing standoff over Iran's nuclear program. Sharp differences with Republicans in Congress on taxes, spending, deficit reduction, immigration and more await. While Republicans control the House, Democrats have at least 52 votes in the Senate and Republicans 45. One newly elected independent isn't saying which party he'll side with, and races in Montana and North Dakota were not yet called. Votes also were being counted Wednesday in the Montana and Washington gubernatorial races. Obama's list of promises to keep includes many holdovers he was unable to deliver on in his first term, such as rolling back tax cuts for upper-income people, overhauling immigration policy and reducing federal deficits. Six in 10 voters said in exit polls that taxes should be increased, and nearly half of voters said taxes should be increased on incomes over $250,000, as Obama has called for. "It's very clear from the exit polling that a majority of Americans recognize that we need to share responsibility for reducing the deficit," Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, told CNN. "That means asking higher-income earners to contribute more to reducing the deficit." Even before Obama gets to his second inaugural on Jan. 20, he must deal with the threatened "fiscal cliff." A combination of automatic tax increases and steep across-the-board spending cuts are set to take effect in January if Washington doesn't quickly reach a budget deal. Experts have warned that the economy could tip back into recession without an agreement. Newly elected Democrats signaled they want compromise to the avoid the fiscal cliff. Sen.-elect Tim Kaine, a former Virginia governor who defeated Republican George Allen, said on NBC's "Today" show that voters sent a message they want "cooperative government." But he also says the election results show that the public doesn't want "all the levers in one party's hands" on Capitol Hill. From Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren said on "CBS This Morning" that those who voted for her opponent, Republican Sen. Scott Brown, expressed a desire for lawmakers to work together. She says: "I heard that loud and clear." Obama repeated his campaign slogan of moving "forward" repeatedly in a victory speech early Wednesday in his hometown of Chicago. "We will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to get there," he said. "As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts. It's not always a straight line. It's not always a smooth path. By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreams won't end all the gridlock, or solve all our problems, or substitute for the painstaking work of building consensus, and making the difficult compromises needed to move this country forward. But that common bond is where we must begin." Former Obama adviser Anita Dunn told "CBS This Morning" that the president made it clear in his acceptance speech that he will be reaching out, and she warned GOP House leaders, representing Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin, to keep in mind that their voters also wanted to keep Obama. "Clearly there's a lot of momentum and a lot of incentive for people to work together to really find answers to the challenges," she said. The vanquished Republican, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, tried to set a more conciliatory tone on the way off the stage. "At a time like this, we can't risk partisan bickering," Romney said after a campaign filled with it. "Our leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the people's work." Obama won at least 303 electoral votes to 206 for Romney, with 270 needed for victory, and had a near-sweep of the nine most hotly contested states. But the close breakdown in the popular vote showed Americans' differences over how best to meet the nation's challenges. With more than 90 percent of precincts reporting, the popular vote went 50 percent for Obama to 48.4 percent for Romney, a businessman-turned-politician. Romney had argued that Obama failed to turn around the economy and he said it was time for a new approach that combined lower taxes and a less intrusive government. Obama's re-election means his signature health care overhaul will endure, as will the Wall Street overhaul enacted after the economic meltdown. The drawdown of troops in Afghanistan will continue apace. With an aging roster of justices, the president probably will have at least one more nomination to the Supreme Court. A second term is sure to produce turnover in his Cabinet. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has made it clear he wants to leave at the end of Obama's first term but is expected to remain in the post until a successor is confirmed. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama's rival for the presidency four years ago, is ready to leave. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta isn't expected to stay on. Obama won even though exit polls showed that only about 4 in 10 voters thought the economy is getting better, just one-quarter thought they're better off financially than four years ago and a little more than half think the country is on the wrong track. But even now, four years after George W. Bush left office, voters were more likely to blame Bush than Obama for the fix they're in. Some Americans were hopeful for progress in Obama's second term. "He may not have done a great job in my mind but I kinda trust him," Jerry Shul said Wednesday morning in Times Square. "And I feel like he's gonna keep trying and I feel like when people keep trying in you favor things work out. I have faith in him, I have faith he will get with the Republicans and get something done." Elsewhere on the ballot, voters in Maine and Maryland became the first to approve same-sex marriage by popular vote while Washington state and Colorado legalized recreational use of marijuana. The most expensive presidential campaign in history, at $2 billion plus, targeted people in the nine states that determined the outcome, and the two sides drenched voters there with more than a million ads, the overwhelming share of them negative. Obama claimed at least seven of those states, most notably Ohio, seen as the big prize. He also prevailed in Iowa, New Hampshire, Colorado, Nevada, Virginia and Wisconsin. Romney got North Carolina. Florida was too close to call Wednesday morning. The unofficial count had Obama with a 46,000-vote lead, but Florida historically has left as many as 5 percent of its votes uncounted until after Election Day. Overall, Obama won 25 states and the District of Columbia. Romney won 24 states. It was a more measured victory than four years ago, when Obama claimed 365 electoral votes to Arizona Sen. John McCain's 173, and won 53 percent of the popular vote. Preliminary figures indicate fewer people participated this time. Associated Press figures showed that about 118 million people had voted in the White House race, but that number will rise as more votes are counted. In 2008, 131 million people voted, according to the Federal Election Commission. ——— Follow Nancy Benac on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/nbenac Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe
