Dr. Paul Farmer, Professor of Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School, describes the "unbroken chain of events" that led him to his work in Haiti. He explains that he wanted to be a physician until he took an undergraduate class in medical anthropology, advising current students to "be open to letting a class change your life."
Part of the inauguration of Jim Yong Kim as 17th president of Dartmouth, the panel discussion features General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt, Brown University president Ruth Simmons, Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter, Freddie Mac head Ed Haldeman, and global health pioneer Dr. Paul Farmer talking with professor Sydney Finkelstein about the future of education, business, and social justice. - Dartmouth College
Medical anthropologist and physician Paul Farmer is Maude and Lillian Presley Professor of Social Medicine in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School, where he is also Chair, and a founding director of Partners In Health, an international non-profit organization that provides direct health care services and undertakes research and advocacy activities on behalf of those who are sick and living in poverty.
Dr. Farmers work draws primarily on active clinical practice and focuses on community-based treatment strategies for infectious diseases in resource-poor settings, health and human rights, and the role of social inequalities in determining disease distribution and outcomes. He is Chief of the Division of Global Health Equity at Brigham and Womens Hospital (BWH) in Boston, and served for ten years as medical director of a charity hospital, LHôpital Bon Sauveur, in rural Haiti. Along with his colleagues at BWH, in the Program in Infectious Disease and Social Change at HMS, and in Haiti, Peru, Russia, Rwanda, Lesotho, and Malawi, Dr. Farmer has pioneered novel, community-based treatment strategies for AIDS and tuberculosis (including multidrug-resistant tuberculosis).
Dr. Farmer and his colleagues have successfully challenged the policymakers and critics who claim that quality health care is impossible to deliver in resource-poor settings.

Pixen is an innovative graphics editor for the Mac. It's designed from top to bottom for pixel artistsâ"people who make low-resolution raster art like the sprites you see in old video games. But it's great for artists of all arenas: Pixen is like a very powerful MSPaint or a simpler, more agile Photoshop.
Required OS: 10.7

Just a heads up for those who haven't used the app recently. The developer recently updated this and is available in the Mac App Store.
Unfortunately this app hasn't been in development for a while.
(Interesting read: Pixen Postmortem - http://andymatuschak.org/articles/2006/06/19/pixen-postmortem/)
If you are interested in pixel art check out GrafX2.
A bit unstable, but the better pixel art application on a mac.
(if your system is in French, Trash : afficher le contenu du paquet>Contents>ressources>French.lproj)
Eh. Neither Acorn nor Pixelmator are targeted towards pixel art. In fact, Pixelmator makes it rather difficult as there are a few rounding errors in its pencil drawing tool and it has no support for nearest neighbor scaling. Argh.
I was able to edit an animated gif that I've wanted done for months now but couldn't until now that I found Pixen. It did the job, that's all I need. Thank you Pixen!
Instead of this, look for Acorn or Pixelmator. There's your answer to pixelart'ing.
It's quite broken on OS 10.5 (there hasn't been any activity on the developer's site since 2006), but they have an unstable version that works better for me - 3.1b in http://opensword.org/Unstable/
(Also, I tried to post the same comment a few days ago, it went through but it seems to have been deleted since, weird)
Its like Paint for Mac, only better!
But it Crashes quite often for me.
This is one of those programs, that reaches so far... but not yet far enough. It kind of stumbles just before the goal line.
Why? Because of its instability. I hate to say it, but it's true.
It crashes all the time, here and there. It might work ok'ish with small pictures and very few layers, but once you start adding layers, it goes down to a crawl (at best), or it simply just crashes without warning.
I'd like to humbly ask the good developer (Andy and his friends):
Please make this just a tad bit more stable and a little bit faster... You've nailed everything in terms of functionality (nothing is left to desire), but again, stability...
I would more than happily shell out a hefty bunch of dollars for this. It's that good.
In the meantime, I've been looking for a decent alternative for creating pixel art. But I still haven't found anything satisfying. (Suggestions are very welcome.)
I really like this app after just using it once, though a few minor things bug me (all except one relating to the interface, though I'm a GUI-nut). First and foremost, it doesn't seem to like actually drawing, and didn't update the screen half the time while I was dragging the pencil across my image.

FRISCO, Texas – Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Women's Tennis players Stefania Nicolae, Maider Martin and Mia Matuszak became the first Islanders ever to garner First Team All-Southland honors on Wednesday, with Nicolae earning first team in singles and the team of Martin and Matuszak making it for doubles.
In addition to the three first teamers, Nicolae and Doris Kuselj earned second team honors in doubles, and Celia Rodriguez Delgado was named to the second team in singles.
"The most important thing I would say about all of these girls is that their greatest attributes was the kind of teammates they were and the way they pushed each other every match," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "A big factor in each girl's success was the constant encouragement and drive they got from their teammates. This team was special for that this year."
The Islanders, who finished in second place of the Southland Conference standings, the highest in school history, saw another first on Wednesday with the release of the All-Southland honors and conference champions ahead of the start of the Southland Conference Tournament on Friday morning.
Nicolae, a junior from Romania, earned the honors after finishing 15-2 overall on the year, including a 7-2 mark in Southland Conference matches. She has won four straight matches heading into the tournament, and was a big part of the Islanders ascension in the conference standings.
"I'm so proud of Stefania, she has become so mentally tough and such a smart player," said Moore. "She really sees the game as a chess match now, and has grown so much. She brought it for our team every match this year."
In addition to her singles play, Nicolae also finished 13-4 in doubles play to earn Second Team All-Southland recognition with Kuselj during the historic Islanders season. She teamed with Kuselj at No. 1 doubles to go 11-4 overall and played well throughout the season, going 6-3 in league play at the top doubles spot.
"Those girls delivered when we needed them the most in some of the biggest and most pivotal conference matches," said Moore. "They were both great leaders for us this year."
Martin and Matuszak teamed to go a perfect 9-0 in Southland matches, earning both first team honors in doubles, and earning the conference championship for No. 3 doubles this season. Overall, the duo finished 13-3 on the season to pace the Islanders in doubles.
The team was one of both youth and experience, as Martin is a true freshman from Spain, and Matuszak is a senior from Katy, Texas. The teammates were a rock throughout Southland Conference play as the team lost the doubles point just once in league play, and twice overall during the year.
"That team was a rock for us," said Moore. "Mia understands doubles as well as any girl we've ever had here, and Maider showed incredible courage to jump in and learn our doubles schemes as a freshman. She didn't just learn them, she really put them into action when it counted."
In addition to the first team members, freshman Celia Rodriguez Delgado earned Second Team All-Southland in singles after losing just one match all season. The newcomer from Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands went 13-1 after seeing action in the second match of the season. She played at No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 singles throughout the season, earning a record of 6-1 at No. 5 where she played half of her matches.
"What a year Celia had, she really showed incredible maturity and toughness for a freshman," said Moore. "I give her a lot of credit for the courage and consistency that she played with."
The team will be in action starting this Friday at the Southland Conference Tournament in Beaumont, Texas. The Islanders will face McNeese State in the opening round, with an 11 a.m. start time set at the Beaumont Municipal Tennis Center.

Local recycling program offers prizes
Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 12:08 a.m.
TUSCALOOSA | A recycling program gives schoolchildren a chance to win Beats by Dre headphones.
Project ReDirectory, a program sponsored by the YP Real Yellow Pages, is teaming up with the city's Environmental Services Department and the Tuscaloosa city and county schools to collect and recycle old phone books.
The three schools to collect the most phone books will win $1,000, $600 and $400, respectively.
But individual students can be recognized, too.
High school and middle school students who collect at least 10 phone books will be entered into a drawing for the popular Beats by Dre headphones.
Elementary students who collect 100 or more phone books will win a plush version of Little Ricky, the city of Tuscaloosa Environment Services Department's mascot, and prizes from YP Real Yellow Pages.
Students attending private schools or home schooling also are eligible for the individual prizes, but must obtain an authorized collection form from the Environmental Services Department. These are available at www.tuscaloosa.com/esd or www.tuscaloosa.com/recycle.
Ashley Boudreaux, the city's environmental coordinator, said the books will be recycled in Tuscaloosa and that the goal is to exceed the nearly 22,000 pounds of phone books that were collected last year.
"And we're really fortunate that the county schools can get involved, too," she said.
Deadline for donation is March 1. Residents who want information about the program can contact Boudreaux at firstname.lastname@example.com or 205-248-4900.
Reach Jason Morton at email@example.com or 205-722-0200.

West Alabama men's tennis win streak at 10
Published: Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 11:48 p.m.
ORLANDO, Fla. | The University of West Alabama men's tennis team extended its winning streak to 10 matches with wins over St. John's and Florida Southern on Wednesday.
The 10-match winning streak leaves UWA with a 16-2 record. St. John's dropped to 2-8 and Florida Southern is 9-7. The Tigers continue their Florida spring break tour today in St. Petersburg against Eckerd College at 2 p.m.
The Tigers opened the day by defeating Division III St. John's 7-2, then defeated Florida Southern 6-3 in the afternoon. Florida Southern is ranked 29th in NCAA Division II.
"I felt like I was at March Madness and our men's team was in the Final Four," UWA coach Glen Fanelli said. "We played outstanding, high-intensity tennis."
West Alabama swept the doubles matches and won four singles matches in straight sets to knock off the Johnnies. Anton Ivanov, Kike Ruiz, Honorio Fernandez and Manuel Grossmann won singles. Ivanov and Adam Drysdale took No. 1 doubles, Simon Bardell and Grossmann won No. 2 doubles and Nestor Vargas and Ruiz took No. 3 doubles.
Fernandez and Grossmann, as well as Vargas and Ruiz won doubles matches to get the Tigers off to a good start against Florida Southern. Vargas, Ivanov, Ruiz and Bardell won their singles matches in straight sets to put the Moccasins away.
"Nestor Vargas was on fire in both singles and doubles against Florida Southern," Fanelli said. "Anton Ivanov defeated the No. 34 singles player in the country (Emanuel Lueber) and then Kike Ruiz sealed the deal."

24 May 2006
Gilbert Sorrentino (1929-2006)
--Under the Shadow
It is only by persistence that the imagination is freed in order that it may create anything; the Splendide-Hotel, for example. This hotel was invented by Arthur Rimbaud who later went to live there. I have it on good authority that there are very few people who are interested in this fact. For that matter, a magnificently aware and intelligent couple I recently met -- their apparel was forcefully, agressively even, imaginative -- had never heard of the Splendide. They spoke to me of the flowers that they grew in profusion in their small backyard garden. They seemed inordinately proud of them, almost as if they had made them. When I lightly mentioned that Rimbaud had questioned whether a flower, dead or alive, was worth the droppings of one sea bird, they became angry with me, and, I take it, with Rimbaud. The products of the imagination must be tendered with the greatest of care.
If the work is to have the wholeness and serenity of art it must be complete, that is, coherent. On the other hand, the works of literature to which we return, which offer themselves anew to us each time we encounter them, are never complete, never truly coherent. There is always a mystery to them, an opacity, a level of discourse that is just out of reach of the intellect, an arrogance. Such work goes well beyond the idea of the possibility of its being something other: it has, in fact, its otherness built in. This otherness is the quality of infinity that permits the reader to understand that although the author has finished his work, there is in it a quality that refuses to be finished; such a work can never end, but goes on "writing" itself forever. Curiously enough, such work may be more "finished" than work that is seemingly finite. If this is a contradiction of my statement that "writers never complete their writing," it is so only insofar as those who do the completing are readers.
--"Fictional Infinities"
in Something Said
For they had indeed come to a strange, a bewitched and shimmering land of profligate colors, shifting, blending, shining in the bright limpid sunshine all the way to the horizon, and perhaps -- beyond! Who can tell? Not the ardent chigger nor the blear-eyed philosopher prone beneath his midnight oils and watercolors. No living thing stirred in all that vast expanse of tints, shades, and tones, save perhaps for the quick scuttling Gila monster dragging a placid cow into his lair, or upsetting a faded Dixie cup in his abrupt panic, a Dixie cup dropped generations ago from the beak of a bluejay or a chickadee who, though long dust, lives on in the songs that weave their way into the sky of nights around many a long-decayed bunkhouse. All was still, yet all was a riot of color.
--Blue Pastoral

I'm embarassed to say that completely unfamiliar with him but that's some beautiful prose. May try to pick up Hotel Splendide the next time I darken my bookstores doorway.ReplyDelete
For a good introduction to Sorrentino's work, check out this essay from BookForum, or look at some of what Derik Badman has written about Sorrentino. I haven't been able to warm up to some of his books, others I'm pretty fond of (usually the shorter ones. I don't have the patience or fortitude for his longer books.) Something Said is a really excellent collection of essays and reviews, and I discovered a bunch of writers I hadn't previously known through it.ReplyDelete
I recommend starting with MULLIGAN STEW to give you a basic sense of what Sorrentino can do. Its size might seem daunting, but there's a lot of stuff in there that's there for the sake of exhaustive completeness. The math dissertation is gibberish, for ex., but it's funny to skim. Lamont's novel is hilariously funny (b/c so bad). His letters give good insight into Lamont's descent into paranoid insanity, while other docs confirm that his paranoia is perfectly rational for the world in which he lives, that everyone really is out to get him.ReplyDelete

Six months of free rent, thousands of dollars in food inventory, television and other marketing materials, and $40,000 each in operating capital and kitchen equipment—all at no cost.
Sounds like a dream, right? Well, for one concept, it's going to become a reality.
Iowa's Best Bite Restaurant Challenge is kicking off for the second year and searching for one winning concept to award its very own 250-plus-seat restaurant in Oskaloosa, Iowa, along with a prize package worth more than $150,000.
The unit, which is nestled in the middle of destination golf courses, includes everything from an outdoor patio and two full bars to a meeting and party room.
It also includes a move-in-ready kitchen, says Barry Schultz, contest manager, spokesman, and one of the judges of the Best Bite competition.
"If you didn't want to, you wouldn't have to touch a single thing," he says. "You could open a restaurant there tomorrow, which is a pretty rare circumstance."
Schultz says the prize package—which also includes perks like branding services, uniforms, and flatware and glassware—creates an unparalleled opportunity for the winning concept.
"Between the free and reduced rent for a couple of years and $40,000 in operating capital, you get such a huge cash-flow advantage," he says. "We all know how expensive it is to run a restaurant, particularly to get one off the ground. So the idea of someone being able to start a restaurant with little or no debt is a pretty unique and kind of once-in-a-lifetime situation."
Another perk is the location's proven profitability in the past, Schultz says, with sales at the previous restaurant consistently ringing in at more than $650,000 each year.
"The location is pretty fabulous," Schultz says. "It's large and it just has so many opportunities for events and catering. We knew right away that this was going to be a great spot to do another contest."
Schultz says a fast-casual concept would likely make a good candidate for the competition, largely due to the clientele in the area.
"Because this is on a destination golf course, the location is very nice, but a lot of the business is golfers coming in halfway through their 18 holes or they come in for a bite to eat afterward," he says.
"Oskaloosa is also the type of town where … people aren't used to [spending] an hour on dinner on a typical night," he adds. "Most people are very familiar and comfortable with that fast-casual idea."
Schultz says getting the Oskaloosa community involved in and excited about the competition helps set up the winning restaurant for success.
"It kind of takes some of the risk out for everybody because you get an idea through the contest and the judges what the community really wants," he says. "Because the community chose it themselves, they're going to tend to support it more."
He adds that the excitement around the competition also bodes well for traffic counts. Last year's competition, which awarded the winner a restaurant in the college town of Grinnell, Iowa, was covered by the state's largest newspapers and multiple TV channels.
"The community gets insanely excited by the idea, which of course helps the restaurateur even more because of the buzz," Schultz says.
But he admits the buzz and excitement can also be a double-edged sword for the winning concept.
"Nobody's really interested in seeing the same old thing, and I think the community is very open to a lot of ideas," he says. "But because there's so much publicity generated around the entire state through this, expectations are going to be very, very high for something that's quality and something that isn't competing with an existing restaurant."
For those concepts willing to take on the challenge, submissions are due by May 6, and the winning concept must be ready and willing to open the unit within 60 days, just in time for golf season.
"Somebody that has those resources and that ability, they're probably going to have an advantage," Schultz says.
The judging panel, which is made up of community volunteers and experts in fields ranging from restaurant management to marketing, will select three finalists to visit the Oskaloosa location on May 15. In addition, a fourth finalist will be chosen by fans in the community.
Two concepts will be selected to move on to the final round on May 16, where they will cook for a community panel and present their overall vision.
Schultz says judges are looking for savvy operators who can not only run a restaurant, but also handle events and make the most of every dollar that comes in the store.
"They're really looking for somebody who understands controlling costs," he says. "Quality food and great service is important, but the savvy of somebody understanding that it takes more than that to be successful and actually make money is probably very important."

HOUSTON, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team was able to hold off a strong push by Texas Southern, to go along with some senior heroics, to pick up a 71-69 win Thursday.
After the Lady Tigers capped off a 13-2 run with a desperation three bouncing off the glass and in to tie the game, Taryn Gregory got the ball at the point with three seconds left and drove all the way to the rim, connecting on the layup at the buzzer to propel the Islanders to victory. The win kept the Islanders' road record unblemished, moving it to a perfect 4-0.
Senior Jasmine Shaw had it going, especially in the first half, as she added five points to her career best, scoring 28 on the night. She had 21 in the first 20 minutes of play before TSU kept her to seven in the second half.
Shaw made her way into the Islanders' record book, knocking down seven threes — six in the first half — to tie her with Shaye Montgomery who hit seven against TCU on Jan. 2, 2010.
The string of games in double figures continued for Brittany Mbamalu, as she had 11 on the night. Mbamalu tied a school record herself, as she attempted 13 threes, becoming the first Islander to do so since Anna Hartzell did against Louisiana-Lafayette all the way back on Nov. 23, 2002.
Also having a big game was freshman Camesha Davis, who set a career high of her own, going 5-of-7 from the field with one free throw to score 11 on the night. She also contributed five boards in the game.
As a team, the Islanders did a good job of moving the ball, notching a season-high 19 assists. Gregory led the team in the category with nine to go along with her game winner.
It was quick start to the game for the Islanders, as they won the tip and blew past the Lady Tiger defense to go up 2-0 just seconds into the matchup. A&M – Corpus Christi then scored the next 7-3 points to find itself with an early 9-3 lead just over three minutes into the game. However, the Lady Tigers came right back to score the next six points to tie the game at nine.
Over the next few minutes, Camesha Davis knocked down a pair of jumpers and Shaw canned her first triple of the games, but the Lady Tigers kept pace, with the score still at a tie, this time at 20 with 8:33 left in the half.
TSU went on to score the next seven out of nine points to open up its biggest lead of the game, as the Lady Tigers were up 27-22 with 6:45 left, forcing head coach Royce Chadwick to call a time out.
Out of the timeout the teams traded a free throw to keep the lead at five for the home team, but then Shaw took over. In less than two minutes of play, Shaw knocked down four threes and a free throw to completely change the complexion of the game, giving the Islanders a 36-30 lead with 4:06 left to play in the half.
Ashley Darley and Mbamalu continued the momentum, hitting a jumper and a three, respectively, to give A&M – Corpus Christi an 11-point lead with 3:13 left in the first half.
However, TSU went on a much-needed 7-1 run to close out the first half to cool off the Islanders and cut the gap to just five.
It looked as if Shaw had transferred the fire over to Mbamalu to start the second half, as she came out of the locker room and canned two threes to extend it to a 48-37 lead less than two minutes into the half.
The Islanders continued the barrage of offense, scoring eight more points to complete a 14-0 run to start the second half, opening up a 19-point lead with 15:40 left to play.
The Lady Tigers would not go down without a fight though, as they came roaring back to score the next 17 out of 19 points to make it a 58-54 game, completely stifling the Islanders' momentum.
Once again, it was Shaw providing the answer for the visitors, knocking down another three, followed by a layup off of a steal to extend the lead back to nine. Brandi Huff then added two free throws to make it 65-54 with 6:35 left on the clock.
Later, Shaw hit yet another bucket that looked like it might seal the game, as it put A&M – Corpus Christi up by 13 with less than five minutes left to go.
However, the Islanders went cold while the Lady Tigers turned up the heat. TSU scored the next 13 points to tie the game before Gregory provided the heroics with the first Islanders' bucket since the 4:40 mark to win the game.
A&M – Corpus Christi will now play its last game before the Christmas break, as it travels north for a matchup on Saturday against UT Arlington, with that game scheduled to tip off at 3:30 p.m.

As Tropical Storm Debby approaches landfall in northern Florida, the storm is bringing heavy rains to Florida and Georgia production regions.
The early season storm is churning off the coast of the Florida panhandle and expected to make landfall in Florida's Gulf Coast Big Bend region June 27.
Bands of rain drenched central and southern Florida, causing flooding.
Forecasters predict the eye of the slow-moving storm to move across Florida on its way to the Atlantic Ocean, dumping torrential rains on Florida and Georgia.
Charles Hall, executive director of the La Grange-based Georgia Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association, said he hasn't heard of any damage.
"It's not helping blueberry harvesting but most of the other harvesting is pretty much over with," Hall said June 26. "We still have a few vegetables and watermelon in the field but not a lot. Any crops being harvested at this point would be a concern. Between the rain and wind, if we get wind, there could be some problems from that standpoint."
Dug Schwalls, salesman for Southern Valley Fruit & Vegetable Inc., Norman Park, Ga., said southern Georgia was receiving heavy rains.
He says Southern Valley expects to finish its cucumber and bell pepper harvesting in early July.
"It's (the storm) just keeping us out of the field now," he said June 26. "The things it would mostly affect are crops we are done with, like squash. We haven't seen any quality issues on the cucumbers because of the storm."
Forecasters predict 45 m.p.h. wind speeds and warn of continued heavy rain and tornado threats.

BRISTOL, Va. - Virginia Intermont's Dalec Cromwell led all scorers with 22 points, pacing the Cobras to a 93-81 victory over the Union College men's basketball team in Appalachian Athletic Conference action on Tuesday evening.
With the loss, Union fell to 8-8 overall on the year, 2-3 in the AAC, while VI improved to 9-7 with the victory, 3-1 in the AAC.
At halftime, Virginia Intermont held a 38-35 lead over the Bulldogs, in a first half that saw the Cobras open up a 12-point lead of 31-19 with five minutes to go in the period. Union, however, ended the half strong, going on a 14-3 run capped off by a Tyler Wagner (Corbin, Ky.) jumper that went in at the buzzer.
To start the second half, the Bulldogs got the lead cut back down to three points (46-43) at the 16-minute mark on a Matthew Thomas (New York, N.Y.) jumper, but VI proceeded to go on a 13-3 run over the next few minutes to extend the lead out to double digits at 59-48 at the 13-minute mark.
From there, the Bulldogs could not get much closer to the Cobra lead, as the closest they came to it the rest of the night was at seven points (61-54 with 11:06 left). In the second half, the Cobras outscored the Bulldogs by nine (55-46) on their way to a double-digit home AAC win.
Overall, Union was led on the night by Deante Johnson (Cincinnati, Ohio), who scored 20 points on 9-of-12 shooting from the floor. Johnson, who has now scored at least 20 points in the last three games, also pulled down seven rebounds on the night.
Three other Bulldogs scored in double digits on the night, as Thomas had 19 points (a season high), and James Strange (Pineville, Ky.) came off the bench to score 16 points (also a season high). Josh Smith (Corbin, Ky.) rounded out the double-digit scorers on the night for UC, scoring 14 points.
VI was led by Cromwell, who led five double-digit Cobra scorers with his 22 point night (on 9-of-12 shooting).
The Bulldogs return to action on Thursday, returning home to Robsion Arena to host Milligan (Tenn.) in another AAC match-up. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m.

Two years ago, five high-school boys brought fame to a small town in Japan. What was so unique was that they formed a "men's synchronized swimming club." Their involvement and struggles while learning synchronized swimming - known to be a sport for girls - brought much attention to their school and town.
Two years have passed since that summer, and the boys of Tadano High School are still in the club. The Fuji Television drama "Water Boys" shows how these young boys fight to learn synchronized swimming, fall in love, and enjoy friendship with one another.

I watched the movie version wich was awesome and very funny, so I figured that with these Johnny's Jr. kids, the drama would be just as good. It's still pretty funny and to tell you the truth, I like it a lot better than the movie. More story development. - Mari
The plot is kinda repetitive from the movie. In fact, nothing can be compared to the movie version. It's the mother of all waterboys installment, for cryin' out loud! Well, i'm still entertained by Waterboys TV. Simply because its funny. I just wish that the creative team create NEW sinchro coreography. - Ultranguik

Three years ago, the former all-girl Himeno High School opened its doors to male students, but remains a female-dominated institution with the majority of students being girls.
One day Eikichi Mizushima transfers from prestigious Aoba High School in Tokyo where he was a member of the swimming team. While his father is away in New York starting a new business, Eikichi has decided to come to Himeji and live with his grandfather Kamekichi.
Yosuke Yamamoto had always wanted to establish a boy's sports club in school. When he learns that Eikichi belonged to a swimming club, he springs into action.
The other boys in the school include Senichi Kawasaki nicknamed "Wolf Boy Sen", the good-looking Iwao Iwata who is the only boy the girls talk to, and Hideki Sano, the rich son of the President of a major supermarket, who is always surrounded by fans. Eikichi's arrival soon influences the boys in school and changes their way of thinking.
Eikichi is surrounded by unique characters at the school. Shiori Yazawa, a senior at Himeno High, together with her parents Akira and Kaoru, live in a rented portion of Kamekichi's house. Kayo Oba, the student body president, is feared by the boys. Kozue Kitagawa, a devilish girl, belongs to the school wind ensemble together with Shiori. The substitute teacher Hijiri Saotome is a former swimmer at Tadano High School. English teacher Natsuko Ohara strongly opposes "men's synchronized swimming." Classic literature teacher Haruka Koshino hates men. And then there's the coffee shop owner Kozo Kasuya, who has something fishy about him. --Fuji TV

Do You Want to See More "Water Boys"?
First, it was a hit movie. In Summer 2003, the story was retold as a hit drama. Still can't get enough of "Water Boys"? Well then Fuji TV has just the thing for you this season. WATER BOYS is back... again.
In the movie, the lead was played by Tsumabuki Satoshi. In the first drama, it was given to Yamada Takayuki. For the third time around, they decided to go with Ichihara Hayato. He plays Mizushima Eikichi, who has just moved to a small town in the country. He used to go to the renowned "Aoba High School" in Tokyo, but his father moved to New York, and Eikichi decided to stay in Japan and live with his grandfather in this small town.
His new high school is "Himeno High School", which up until three years ago was an all-girls school and still has a student population which is over 90% female. The school is run by an uptight student president, and to get on her bad side is to make enemies with all the girls in the school. The small number of male students is bullied and forced to eat lunch together in a dank room.
The first student Eikichi meets is Yazawa Shiori. He doesn't make a very good first impression on her, and she treats him very coolly from then on. She is annoyed by his presence, but obviously because she actually likes him. On the way home from the first day of school, they are surprised when they both arrive at the same house and discover that they live together. It turns out that Shiori's mother is a friend of Eikichi's grandfather and they have no other place to stay due to some problem related to Shiori's father. This creates a lot of friction at home between the two young students, but this is only going to strengthen their relationship of course.
A male student, Yousuke immediately befriends Eikichi. He is trying to start a boy's swimming club at school, and he heard that Eikichi used to be on the swimming team at his old school. Eikichi adamantly refuses to join for some reason, but Yousuke is determined to start a swimming club, and believes that Eikichi will join eventually. He is assisted by Saotome-sensei, who is from the main cast of the movie (the effeminate one). Apparently he's a teacher at this school now.
In order to start the swimming club, they have to go through a lot of obstacles and uncooperative teachers - much like in the movie and first drama. When the team has still barely even become reality, they have a competition which they want Eikichi to compete in. This coincides with a point at which Eikichi's father asks him to come to New York, and he makes the last minute decision to stay. He runs to the site of the competition and he is quickly forced into a swimming suit and onto the starting blocks. When he gets in the water, we find out that he can hardly swim at all, and to make things worse, he gets a leg cramp and his swim suit comes off in the pool, making for a situation that embarrasses the whole school.
Since competitive swimming doesn't quite seem to be working out for the boys, Saotome-sensei suggests that they switch to synchronized swimming instead. He shows them the video of his team's performance (the last scene of the movie) and Yousuke immediately loves the idea. Unfortunately, Saotome-sensei has to deal with the exact same opposition from the rest of the school that we saw in the movie and the first drama, so the synchro team is allowed to exist only under the condition that they put on a performance before the end of the semester, which is only a matter of weeks away.
All the old background music is back again, and the theme song for the first drama by Fukuyama Masaharu is back with a new rendition. The question that prevailed in my mind from the very beginning is, "Do we need another WATER BOYS?" The movie was great. The first drama made sense, though it was already beginning to drag a little by then. But a second drama? How much more do we need to explore the concept of male synchronized swimming teams? I'm sure it's going to go through the same old pattern of obstacles that threaten the existence of the team, and the determination of the boys to overcome them all and continue on.
You may think that you've had enough, but Fuji TV estimates that the WATER BOYS series still has plenty of selling power left in it. In fact, I wouldn't be too surprised to see "WATER BOYS 3" next year. I hope you like WATER BOYS, because there is plenty more left in store. I probably won't watch much of it this season, and you can definitely count me out for "WATER BOYS 3".

Tanaka Masatoshi is having troubles getting into medical school, something he blames on all the time he spent on synchro two years earlier. While on a research trip to a remote southern island of Japan, he is forced into coaching a newly formed three member boys synchro team. Tanaka has to come to terms with his past and begins questioning his future, while the three boy synchro team dream of life off of the island.

Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act of 2013 - Amends the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 (NICS Act), the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (Brady Act), the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, and the federal criminal code to require background checks for all firearm sales, prohibit straw purchases of firearms, and expand the school safety grant program.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Gun control supporters have won the first Senate showdown over restricting firearms, rejecting an effort by conservatives to derail a package of gun curbs before debate could even begin.
The 68-31 vote gave an initial burst of momentum to efforts by President Barack Obama and lawmakers, mostly Democrats, to impose gun restrictions following the December carnage at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
Gun control supporters needed 60 votes to block the conservatives. The legislation would subject more firearms buyers to federal background checks, strengthen laws against illicit gun trafficking and increase school safety aid. Advocates say the measures would make it harder for criminals and the mentally ill to get weapons.
Opponents say the restrictions would violate the Constitution's right to bear arms and would be ignored by criminals.

I was the typical impatient customer. Standing in the middle of the Apple store in the mall with my dead laptop, leaning against one of the high counters, actually tapping my foot, and repeatedly checking my wristwatch. I had arrived early, and yet here it was, minutes creeping by my actual appointment time, and still nothing.My cellphone - my aunt. But with hopes still high that any minute an employee would come up and whisk me off to the actual Genius Bar to save me from the "gray screen of death," I quieted the ring and ignored the call. Time continued to crawl by, my foot continued to tap and I shrugged and checked the voice mail message.It was brief. Only nine seconds: "Hi Jana. It's [your aunt]. It's about 3:15. If you get this message soon, give me a call real quick. Thanks." At first blush, it seemed simple, straightforward. At first blush, it was a "if it were something important, she would have said so." At first blush, it seemed like nothing ...I looked up, glanced around the store and called back immediately. Rare for me. There was something - quiet, unsure, but something nagging me. My aunt started talking, and I was listening, but not hearing. "The marathon. Bombs at the finish line. At last check on the website, your sister should have been near the finish line." I'm nodding, listening, not hearing, hearing.My friend comes up, shows me her new iPhone, points to her 5-year-old and mouths, "playground in mall." I nod, listening, not hearing, hearing. The Apple employee finally comes up, starts to introduce himself. I nod, listening, not hearing, hearing. I put my hand up: "Wait. Two seconds." I mouth, "I'm sorry."I try to listen to my aunt, and finally have to give up. "OK. We don't know anything yet. I'm at a store, I don't have a TV, let me try to find information online, let me try to figure out what is going on, what happened. The employee is here, I have to go. Keep me posted. I'll be in touch soon." I nod. I pretend like anything I just said had meaning.I turn to the employee. "The Boston Marathon. Apparently bombs at the finish line. My sister was running. This is around the time she might be finishing." He stares at me, starts saying he's sorry. I stare back, hand him my laptop, and say, "I have the gray screen of death. Please fix it. I've done everything recommended in this online Mac blog and nothing worked. It's probably the logic board. I don't know. Just fix it."He leads me to the Genius Bar counter, gets me a stool, starts running diagnostics - I stare at my phone, searching for trending info on Twitter, posts on Facebook, articles on Safari. Of course. In a social media age, news is a social thing. I glance around the Apple store; having worked in politics, specifically in communications where we kept four televisions going at all times to ensure all four major channels were monitored constantly, it feels weird to not see a single television. It seems even weirder that no one else has any idea right now. Somehow I suddenly feel the need to change that: I post on Facebook and ask for prayers for my sister and everyone else. A social media age translates into a need to share - to not be alone in one's thoughts (even when sometimes that is definitely for the best). The Apple employee looks at me, says, "I hope this isn't weird or offensive, but I'd like to pray for your sister, you, your family." I nod, listening, not hearing, hearing: He's worried I'd be offended or weirded out that he wanted to pray for her, for us. My brain twists on that as I nod back more vigorously now. "No, not at all. Please do. That would mean a lot." He goes back to the diagnostics.And I think I took my first real breath then. Yes. I know I did. The employee looks at me again. "Your hard drive has died, it could be days, we'll have to keep it." I nod, listening, not hearing, hearing. I'm starting to find more news reports now, starting to see pictures. I show one to the employee. He shudders, breathes, "Wow." Says, "I don't know how you can be so calm." I can feel the sad, bitter smile before I know it has made its appearance: "I've been too close to tragedy too many times now, and the only thing I've learned is that there is no point in worrying or freaking out until you have an actual reason to do so ... " I pause, searching, wanting to offer something "more," something even a bit positive, a bit hopeful ... Finally: "Oh, and always trust that others will eventually - even immediately - restore your faith in humanity." I feel the wry smile linger ... and am helpless about it. I shrug hard, focus momentarily, return to the subject at hand: my dead computer. Explain I live in the mountains and am heading back the next day, so if it can't be finished then, I would be back in 10 days. He nods, talks to a manager, makes a note, says they will do what they can to finish it by the next morning. I'm already back on my phone, scanning, clicking, still hearing around me the constant happy hum of technology talk among employees and customers, background noise as in the foreground I'm staring at blood on my little screen. I stand up, and the employee touches my shoulder, puts his hand out to shake mine, says: "I won't stop praying for your sister. I hope she is OK." Yes. Yes. It's been maybe 30 minutes since that first call with my aunt. I walk out of the store, stand in the middle of the mall, staring down at the children's playground. I call her back. Tell her I'm done with the store and will find a television. Tell her I'll start trying to track down my sister via every means I have. I'll talk to family. We agree we shouldn't talk to my father until we know if we had any reason to worry. I say I'll be in touch soon. I find my sister's cell phone number. Can't imagine she would run with that extra weight, but I have to try. I dial, listen, hear, not hearing: one ring, two rings, five rings. Dead. No voice mail, just a crackling sound, and the phone is disconnected. At first blush, this is worrisome. At first blush, a heart jars. But there was something - quiet, unsure, but something - nagging at me. Oh yes. Cell phone service always gets overwhelmed in tragedies. It crashes. It is why I have always insisted upon a landline. Just in case. Of course. I go to messaging, and compose two text messages: "Obviously seen news so worried & sending love & prayers. If you can touch base with us. Love." "Phone wouldnt even go to vm so thot I'd try text."It's laughable now: I had to explain why I was worried? Why I was texting? Why I wasn't calling? And it is laughable. And it's not. As it's so me: so "particular," so careful to be concise and yet thorough. Yeah, also known as anal retentive, finicky, fastidious, nitpicky, exacting ... Heaven forbid a tragedy change my modus operandi, my personality, my special baggage. Of course, it was mostly about me, but truth be told, it was also about the relationship between my sister and me. We've never been exactly close. Especially not growing up, where we were just such different personalities that we seemed to have nothing in common. Unlike my brother and me, who have personalities that are too similar. Of course, it's not like we ever really fought - unlike my brother and me, who fought constantly - but we never really connected either. Sometimes I feel like we just stared at each other as if we were zoo animals in opposite exhibits. After many years, recently we've been trying to forge those connections again. Sometimes the connections are highways, sometimes paths bushwhacked through jungle territory; sometimes silken scarves, sometimes threads. Yet connections they are - as any one knows who loses touch with someone, sometimes all that matters is that a connection is made. It doesn't matter how small, how big, how weak, how strong - it just matters that the connection is made. I remember when I was working in the U.S. Capitol and a gunman broke in, killing two. Our press office, located just above all of this, stayed "open" when everyone else had to shut down. So for hours, all we did was listen to phones ringing off the hook, every line blinking, trying our best to field every call we could, provide any information we could to every reporter desperate for information. It was so busy, so nonstop, that there was no moment to comprehend. All we could do was nod, listen, hear, not hear. No time to think, reflect, feel. Nod, listen, hear, not hear. And for most of the day, that is what I had done: field calls, texts, not think, not reflect, not feel. Nod, listen, hear, not hear. And it was only in one sudden moment of quiet that I started to reflect.I could lose my sister. I wasn't even sure what that meant right then, wasn't sure what to do more than say that to myself. Had we connected enough yet? Didn't we still have so much unfinished business? Doesn't everyone? What do connections even mean? Are any connections ever enough? One moment of quiet ... And all I could do in response was nod, listen, hear, not hear. And in that moment, my phone finally buzzed, and this time the text was actually from my sister: "Just got home safely." Sometimes the smallest connections are indeed enough. Jana Novak lives in Frisco. Her sister was running the Boston Marathon on April 15. She was still a mile or so from the finish line when the bombs went off.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, Feb. 20, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- James Brown's daughters Deanna and Venisha are back in Augusta after attending Whitney Houston's funeral. They are now singing, crying and revealing their personal family connection for the first time.
"We were just crying," said Venisha Brown. "Forget the makeup. The makeup was gone."
James Brown's family is talking exclusively to News 12 about the emotional Whitney Houston funeral.
"I was just in shock," said Deanna Brown Thomas. "I put my paperwork away. I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't believe that here we go again."
Houston joins a long list of musical icons who died mired in tragedy. It is a feeling the Brown family knows all to well.
"Exactly. It is deja-vu," Venisha said. "I don't think we have truly grieved. Being in that atmosphere again just brought back those feelings. It was the empathy that we felt for the family."
Deanna said she remembers Whitney when she was called "Nippy from New Jersey."
"Nippy from New Jersey" would go on to sell more than 170 million albums, singles and videos worldwide.
"These are people that I grew up with," Venisha said. "Whitney's cousin, Dionne Warwick, is my baptismal godmother."
The Brown family's pain is evident.
"We lost a home girl," Deanna said. "We lost our sister."
Venisha said she took it personally.
"I actually felt her," she said. "I pulled for her because pulling for her was pulling for me. I also had experienced having problems with drugs and alcohol myself."
The Brown family had hoped to be invited to Whitney's latest new release party. They instead got an exclusive invitation to Whitney's funeral.
"It was phenomenal when CeCe Winans asked the world to sing 'Jesus Loves Me,'" sang Venisha and Deanna. "We gave thanks to God for lending us Whitney Houston to put some joy and love into people's hearts around the world."
Whitney sang "Jesus Loves Me" the night before she died. It was her final public performance.
The Brown daughters sat in the family section at the funeral. They say they are especially prayerful for Houston's daughter Bobbi Christina. She is 18 years old and learning to live without her mother.

Systems broke down in Game 4 for Boston and Chicago, which meant there was an air of unpredictability and plenty of goals.
CHICAGO – The best thing about Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final was that it was played at such a frenetic pace that it took control out of the hands of the coaches and placed it firmly in the hands of the players.

It appears the Coyotes will have a new owner in place soon, which could mean a quick move to Seattle.
CHICAGO - If you think the NHL is not currently greasing the skids to move the Phoenix Coyotes, you're kidding yourself. Yes, the league would prefer to keep the team in Glendale for reasons that almost nobody can fathom, but the behind-the-scenes work that could see the Coyotes move is furious at the moment.

Having the best four teams still alive - and each of the past four champions - should make for one of the best semifinals in years.

Hiring Patrick Roy as coach and Joe Sakic in the front office without any NHL experience in those positions is worth the potential payoff for Colorado.
If the Colorado Avalanche handed the keys to the kingdom to Joe Sakic and Patrick Roy with the sole intention of selling tickets, they've made a terrible, dreadful mistake.

Down 4-1 in the third, Boston got serious to mount the comeback. For Toronto, the crushing loss should accelerate their build.

I bought 2 full sets for my vans. Went to have 1st set installed... NO hardware kits in either front shock boxes & 1 also missing the coveted 'Max Control' sticker (wah). The threading on the Gabriels shaft is completely different than the OEM shaft threads, so had to get 2 stupid nuts from autoparts store in order to install them at all! ON top of that, the hardware kit also contains new washers & bushings- that was ALL missing. So, had to install the NEW shocks w/ the OLD bushings!!!

Gorgon Project Profitable Despite Cost Blowout
From Australian
By Matt Chambers
It is understood the updated estimate of the $43 billion project cost will be less than $60bn, with the blowout closer to $10bn than $20bn.
Speaking in New York yesterday, Chevron chairman and chief executive John Watson confirmed that the project's costs had risen from the original Australian dollar estimate and said weather delays had also taken their toll.
"The project remains very economic," Mr Watson said.
He said a rising Australian dollar, the impact of cyclones that had delayed work and a skilled labour shortage in Western Australia had all led to the cost blowout.
The news comes as BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto this week announced further cuts in capital spending and moves to slash their cost bases in an effort to protect profits.
It is believed Chevron, which owns 47 per cent of Gorgon and is its operator, will reveal its long-awaited cost and schedule review next week. With the Chevron board said to be meeting on Wednesday, an announcement is likely to come later in the week.
Whatever the cost increase is in Australian dollar terms, it will be magnified in US dollars.
A $12bn increase in the estimated cost of Gorgon to $55bn would make the headline number in US dollars about $US20bn higher than the $US37bn cost estimate provided by Chevron when the project started in 2009.
The currency conversion will not be so simple, though, with much of the capital spent when the Australian dollar was trading at a lower exchange rate.
Deutsche Bank analysts are expecting the project to cost $50bn.
Gorgon LNG production, set to begin in 2014, is also likely to be delayed.
The blowout follows a trend that has meant only one $2bn-plus resources project has come online in Australia this century without a cost blowout or delay.
That was the $3bn Darwin LNG project, which was built by ConocoPhillips and which started exporting in 2004.
Chevron Australia boss Roy Krzywosinski this week blasted the federal government's carbon tax and other fiscal measures, saying confidence in major capital investments was being affected.
As well as Gorgon, Chevron is building the $29bn Wheatstone LNG plant on WA's mainland.
Energy companies are building separate LNG plants in Australia, although it makes more sense to collaborate in some places.
For example, the Wheatstone field is near Woodside Petroleum's Pluto field. Before both Chevron and Woodside embarked on separate mega-projects, the two fields were thought to be ideal candidates for joint development.
Woodside went first, developing Pluto as a stand-alone, one-production-train project.
With Chevron and Woodside unable to strike an acceptable deal to expand Pluto with Wheatstone gas, a new two-train project is being built for Wheatstone, while Woodside does not have enough gas to capture the economic advantages of building a second or third train at Pluto.
Santos boss and Australian Petroleum and Production Association president David Knox is one of the few executives to admit that the industry needs to take its share of the blame for the high costs plaguing the industry.
Royal Dutch Shell last month said it was investigating combining its onshore coal-seam gas reserves with those of one of three LNG plants being built at Gladstone, rather than pushing ahead with its own plant in a heated market.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The executive director of the San Francisco-based Rainforest Action Network died on Wednesday while vacationing in Mexico, according to the environmental advocacy organization.
The executive director, Rebecca Tarbotton, 39, drowned while swimming on a beach north of Puerto Vallarta with her husband and friends.
She headed RAN, which aims to preserve endangered rainforests and the rights of their inhabitants.
A statement posted on RAN's website said her coworkers, friends and family called her a "force of nature" with "an infectious laugh, adventurous spirit, and a heart bursting with love."
According to her staff biography, she attended the McGill University in Montreal and earned a master's degree from the University of British Columbia.
RAN staff said condolences can be sent to the organization's office at 425 Bush St., Suite 300, San Francisco, CA, 94108.
Tarbotton's ashes will be scattered off Hornby Island in British Columbia where her family owns a cabin and she often spent time visiting family.
Public memorial services are planned to be held in San Francisco and Vancouver.

If the approximately 11,000 county residents with disabilities turn out at the polls, David Long figures elected officials and candidates will take notice.
"I really believe that if the people with disabilities in Washington County would get out and register to vote, and they actually do go out and vote ... it will grab the attention locally," said Long, an adviser to People First of Washington County, an initiative of the county board of developmental disabilities to advocate for disabled individuals.
Havar Inc., an organization that advocates and provides services for people with developmental disabilities, teamed up with People First, WASCO Inc. and the Washington County Board of Elections Tuesday to hold a voter registration and outreach event at WASCO's workshop, where adults with a range of physical and developmental disabilities work in a variety of jobs.

WASCO Inc. CEO Jan Powell, left, looks over the campaign and voting materials Jonathan Fleming of Belpre picked up at a voter registration and outreach event Tuesday at WASCO's workshop.
"A lot of these people here have no idea about voting. So it's an attempt to bring it down to a level they can understand and then inspire them to go out and vote," Long said. "And I believe the key to that is to help them understand that they can make a difference."
WASCO CEO Jan Powell said individuals with disabilities have a vested interest in the political process.
"Many times the decisions of the legislators affect people with disabilities," she said.
Fact Box
All polling places must have accessible parking and entry for voters with a disability.
There must be one assistive technology machine to help voters with disabilities cast a secret ballot.
A voter may have a family member or friend with them in the voting booth to assist in filling out the ballot. Two pollworkers from different parties will help if asked.
Any voter may apply for an absentee ballot in writing by the Saturday before Election Day. The ballot must be received by the board of elections no later than Election Day. Absentee ballots may also be obtained and cast at the board office during regular business hours.
People needing a ride to the polls or other assistance voting on Election Day, or with other questions, can contact David Long at 373-7175.
Source: Havar Inc.
The event is part of a five-county initiative by Havar to reach out to potential voters with disabilities, be they physical, mental or developmental. It's funded by a $20,000 grant from the Ohio Secretary of State's office.
Marty Zinn, program manager for advocacy and public policy for Havar, said such efforts under the 2002 Help America Vote Act have helped diminish the disparity between the percentage of disabled and non-disabled residents casting ballots. In 2000, fewer eligible Americans with disabilities voted than those without disabilities by 20 percentage points. In 2008, that number was 7 percent, and it shrunk to 3 percent in 2010, Zinn said.
With HAVA requiring polling places to be accessible and training for pollworkers improved when it comes to assisting disabled voters, Zinn said many of the obstacles they face now are the result of perception.
Some people may not realize they can cast absentee ballots without having to provide a reason or can have a family member or friend assist them in filling out their ballot, Zinn said.
Tuesday's event took on the feeling of a political rally at times, with patriotic music playing. Democratic and Republican candidates for the Washington County Commission and common pleas court judge addressed the more than 50 WASCO consumers assembled about the importance of voting.
"Local government is the most responsive to you," said Ron Feathers, a Republican running for county commissioner. "They're also the ones that are most available to you."
Incumbent Commissioner Cora Marshall, a Democrat and Feathers' opponent in the general election, thanked the workers at WASCO for taking on the county's mail service, which resulted in thousands of dollars in savings.
"Your voice is so important to our county," she said.
While representatives of the county Democratic and Republican parties passed out brochures about candidates, the goal of the event was to educate people about how they can vote and the assistance available to them, not to sway someone's decision, Zinn said.
Some people might question whether individuals with mental or developmental disabilities are able to make an informed decision on the ballot, but Zinn noted everyone has the right to vote unless a court of law has specifically deemed them incompetent to do so.
"What I tell them is if you are not sure how to vote, talk to someone you trust and respect, ask them what they're thinking," she said.
That's the strategy Zinn employs with races she doesn't know as much about, such as judicial contests. She also noted people can always leave a particular race or issue blank if they don't feel they know enough to make an informed decision.
Either way, Zinn advises prospective voters to ultimately make up their own minds.
"Don't ever let anybody tell you how to vote," she said.
Peggy Byers, director of the Washington County Board of Elections, brought an AutoMARK voting machine to the event. The device, which helps people with vision problems by enlarging the type on the ballot or actually reading it to them, will be left at WASCO for a few days so consumers can try it out.
Marsha Hill, 53, of Belpre, was doing her best to talk her fellow consumers into registering.
"I want to keep some people in the statehouse," Hill said, when asked why voting is important to her. "I hope everybody gets a good job."
Byers said nine people registered to vote at the event and several others changed their addresses. A few also applied for absentee ballots.
