Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from http://www2.nami.org/

The Beaver, a comedy-drama directed by and co-starring Academy Award-winners Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson, is the story of a man living with depression and its impact on his family. Presented by Participant Media and Summit Entertainment, The Beaver explores the complexity of personal challenges that many encounter as part of this human condition.
NAMI is a proud sponsor of Participant Media's Social Action Campaign, Take Part~Inspiration to Action.
Eight Things You Can Do Now
An Interview with Jodie Foster
NAMI had the privilege of talking with Jodie Foster about her interest and experience with The Beaver. The full interview was published in the Winter 2011 edition of The Advocate. The following is an excerpt from the interview.
Why did you feel it was important to undertake this project?
Sometimes, you are drawn to things and you don't know why. You have some idea of what they are, and then they touch you for unknown reasons. At first they are conscious, and then, little by little, there are other things there. Like all of the movies I have made, in The Beaver there is a real discussion of loneliness and its impact on our lives, how to survive it and accept it as a human condition, how to hold onto others. It is part of my own struggle in my life. On one hand, there is something incredibly beautiful about being alone. No one is with you when you are acting—it is an oddly ecstatic situation and unlivable at the same time.
These two things intersect in the film. There is this father who has a serious mental illness that probably requires treatment. He is sinking further down with his condition, and he thinks he only has two options: a life sentence and a death sentence. He feels powerless to feel anything anymore. He takes this desperate act to live by having the beaver [puppet] do what he can't, and that is connecting with his family. It is a crutch for him and very much a lifesaver. It enables him to be all the things he is not: a positive and successful person. And over time, he realizes that this prop is taking him over and he has no voice at all any more. He becomes destructive, and his family can no longer accept it.
The movie is also the story of a son and his lifetime of living with his father, as well as the impact of his illness on his wife. The truth is that all of the family members are solitary and all incredibly alone as a result of this condition. The end of the movie is in some ways where the healing process begins, when they are finally able to accept their solitariness and bind together.
Did you do any sort of special research on depression in order to prepare for this project?
I read a lot, obviously. Depression is a part of all of our lives. Everyone has experience with it either in their own families or with friends. I had a lot of personal connection to this topic.
Read the full interview in the Winter 2011 edition of The Advocate magazine.

I know I'll probably get flack for this but I'm okay with him re-signing Cleary if it's for a decent price. The guys a warrior and in spite of how people discount all his points, he was second only to Z in playoff scoring.
It just needs to be at good value, short term, and he should play fewer minutes.
re-signing Sammy on the other hand, I'm still ticked about. And now even if Holland wants to he may not be able to buy Sammy out because he's "injured."
True. It would've been what, something like $23 million tied up through 2021 AND having to re-sign Datsyuk?
It's a decent value for those guys now but the team loses so much flexibility for future moves.
the issue i have with cleary coming back is that he is babcock's favoriter player, which means he will be getting top 6 minutes guaranteed. because of that, i really hope cleary is gone.
I have no issue with holland not signing any big name ufa this year. the wings have one of the best prospect pools in the league, it's time to put it to good use

Election Day voices: Voters in Dallas County share who they voted for and why
After lengthy campaigns, the charming (and not so charming) rhetoric, political advertisements and promises of hope and change, today is the day, voters. Today, you show up and make your voices heard. The Dallas Morning News has reporters all over North Texas to find out what you have to say about your choices and what your hope is after the polls close and votes are counted. Here are a few of voters' voices from Dallas County.
Abigail Davis, 40, voted at the Oak Lawn Branch of the Dallas Public Library. She said she voted a straight Democratic ticket.
"I felt as a woman, I had to protect my right to choose. I also live in a gay neighborhood and many of my friends are gay, so I want to do anything I can to protect their rights, too."
Brian Wildes, 62, voted at John S. Armstrong Elementary School in Highland Park. He said he voted a straight Republican ticket.
"I'm concerned about the economy, that's why I voted Republican. I don't like Obama's plan to redistribute wealth."
Cory Kale, 63, also voted at Armstrong Elementary School. He said the main reason he voted for GOP candidates this election was because of Ted Cruz, who he hopes wins a U.S. Senate seat tonight.
"I voted for Obama in 2008 but the results have been very disappointing these last four years. To me, Romney was the only viable choice."
Kathy King, 57, showed up to the polls at Armstrong Elementary and voted a straight democratic ticket — unlike her husband, Cory Kale (pictured above).
"I voted for Obama in 2008 and I am disappointed with the results but I think he is the only viable options. Romney's position on women's issues also frighten me."
Raul Garcia showed up to vote at L.G. Pinkston High School in West Dallas. He said in Spanish that he voted for Barack Obama this election.
"Because Obama is a minority like me, I think he'll do more good things for us. I also support his immigration policies. The other candidate has rarely mentioned immigration reform."
Regina Jones came out to James Madison High School in South Dallas. She brought her granddaughter and spoke about the importance of voting because her ancestors gave her that chance. Jones voted for Obama.
"I see some of the change that he has made and I think the next four years will be greater and better under his presidency."
Martha Archibald voted in Highland Park for Republican candidates.
"I'm a conservative and Republican candidates represent my Christian values that our country was founded on. And, I think those values are what make our country great."
Harvey McLean, 70, voted at Armstrong Elementary School this morning and voted a straight Libertarian ticket.
"I believe in the principles of the Libertarians more than I do the other parties'. This election season has definitely been lengthy and boring."
Jason Reale, 32, voted at the Oak Lawn branch of the Dallas Public Library. He said he voted for Barack Obama as president.
"I'm a teacher, my mom has terminal cancer and I am a gay man. Obama's policies are in line with my beliefs and have the most promise for the classroom."
Joan Wu, 64, is a first time voter. She became a citizen when she was 12 and showed up to the Oak Lawn branch of the Dallas Public Library.
"I voted straight Democratic ticket. I'm voting because I want to believe that I believe in this country. Maybe my voice doesn't matter, but at some point you have to decide this is your country and persevere."

i think life is for us to experiment and see what we can create. creating more for us to learn to make it better and let or next generation overcome.
I would have to say an test of just how strong the human spirit is...Seeing all the war, anger, hate, and pain there is in the world, sometimes, it feels like someone really is testing you, just to see how you'll do in this worldThe Soul can be as hollow as Hell
to experiance the hard and good moments and inlife the skills are important less skills less improvemont in life
that is what we call irony "When the heavens do not bring forth justice, man must bring it upon himself to do so. That is the meaning of Jinchuu." -Enishi Yukishiro.
I lead a meger existanse and am happy with it, but the driving force of the world is the almighty dollar. i believe the world is going to hell in a handbasket and we must deal with it the best we can to make our own lives matter. Life is a test to see who can prosper and who will not. if you know good people and are happy you have acheived susccese."We who were born of Darkness must walk in Darkness."
life is one of those life long slaps in the face you never get away from. you fall down and learn to get back up and get out of that rute. there is so much ugly in todays society its hard to stay focused on our own self being. just stay true to yourself and the rest comes easy. guess thats why I have broad shoulders, to carry the weight of my own little world. just remember to not get caught up in the rat raceI Think Im Being Watched... You cant trust anyone, not even Sesame Street....=D
life is a lesson 2 b learn for everyone...its a game, u have 2 fight in order 2 survive, competitions rose to its feet as we make our decision. if we take the right path, we'll b happy, but if we took a wrong turn, there will be a consequences and a lesson 2 b learn ( thats how lifw works and theres a thousand more explanation) people sometimes always think "why were they in this horrible world with such a painful lie?" its just bcuz u r important no matter what u think, and sometimes ur special when u think ur not...u don't really know....(im evil)
That was a well put and thought out comment, From the sounds of it you have been through many tests of your own and been victorious. I look at life in this way, sounds crude but play along.Hold both arms out as far a possible, this represents you life at its fullest and you have all the room needed to move. Every time your tested and a wrong choice is made bring your arms in a little on both sides closeing your world in. As time runns its course and wrong decisions are made your world could get smaller and smaller until you have no room to move. Every way you turn your back is to the wall. Your world is what you make of it, big and beautiful with the right choices or small and confined with the trouble and wrong choices made.. I know it sounds odd but it put things into perspective for me whan my father told me before he passed(love you pops). Maybe my dads wisdom can help everyone else..I Think Im Being Watched... You cant trust anyone, not even Sesame Street....=D
Its what you make of it. Live on the edge sooner or later u fall. On the wildside you end up in jail. Cautious and you miss opportunities that come your way. Straight and narrow you catch crap from every1. Negative your live under dark skies. Take from this what you will, i live life the best i can. Look at what u did today that u might have missed tomorow." See me, I might be bleeding, but im still breathing, You might hate me, but you cant break me. Push me, and ill push you right back.."
thaLife isen't someting good you starting to realized it when you become older.There are lot's of responsebilities but I think for now I have that whatI need to call it a life
Your teen years you dont give a f*** about any mistakesHit 21 you still dont give a, and make more mistakes. 25-30 you start to care about your mistakes but say o f***ing well.30's and up you really give a f*** and are mad as f*** cause you have to pay for all those dont give a f***sWTF..." See me, I might be bleeding, but im still breathing, You might hate me, but you cant break me. Push me, and ill push you right back.."
according to george carlin life is a series of dogs. "When the heavens do not bring forth justice, man must bring it upon himself to do so. That is the meaning of Jinchuu." -Enishi Yukishiro.

Chips,ice cream and my laptop I don't need nothing else
I beleive that life is survival to the fitest. The only difference is that we humans have luxaries like cellphones,anime,video games. Mostly stuff that would entertain us until we die for the next generation to improve on what we started. Tome that sounds sad. To live just to survive. The reason we last is that we come up with ways to kick mother nature's ass. Such as... vaccinations, medical treatments. We have the ability to adapt to an array of environments. Those people who live in the himalayas have bigger lungs so they can withstand that altitude where normal people would have trouble breathing. Makes you see why some of us humans look different. Africans,Asians,Hispanics, and Whites all (if you thought about it) are like different species of human beings. Sounds crazy but it is a new way of thinking about it especially with all these racial terms. I am a Gamer by nature. I am a Anime-lover by heart.
If any of u seventh day advintist u know what i mean! ``KNOLIGE WILL INCREASE WARS WILL START AROUND THE WORLD THEN THE THREE ANGELS WILL SOUND THERE HORNS FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH YHE WINDS......``ONLY HE WALKS THERE''
We are created to from other form of life for shurewho do they experiments with us and looking whatway we live our lives and what we are acheeving in lifeand human history.The world it's not born from nothing you know
I'll take your life.
its how we meet new people, have friends and family that loves us and also to have fun...theres also the mistakes u make which can totally change ur life
they say we are reborn and we are suppose to not make our mistakes again....but idk abt that...i mean people makes mistakes but if they learn it wouldn't hapen again
by aliens for shure.We don't know were we came fromand who created us,so it's aliens.

That's probably the simplest way to put it lol "Thou art I. I am thou. Thou shalt be blessed when creating Personas of the Headphones arcana....."
I'd have to say that i's a test to see whether or not we're fit for this worldThe Soul can be as hollow as Hell
"i shall return by gen mac aruther"
it it it just a game! hahaha....
I believe that life is empty and similar to clay, only forged from what we percieve and do. (I don't want to make THIS an open debate, so please don't hassle me) People are selfish in a very simple way that we choose to do good because we want appreciation and to feel well about ourselves. People choose to do ill because they want to take from, inflict upon, or make others feel worse than they do. However, this is subjective, so what one percieves as good or evil can be different from another's. Which reminds me to also suggest that life is convoluted because we're not perfect, everyone makes mistakes else their wouldn't be any real need for religion. Life is fairly individualized, since everyone else primary focus has them at or somewhere around the center. Life can also have hypocrisy, since every person will divert from their own ideals and beliefs if they deem it reasonable or just. (Like I said before that this is subjective, so any of you may think differently and that's fine) Death is, well, death. People come and go, but I doubt a higher place is set aside for us, but instead is, and always seems to be, six feet under. If there is a higher power, then I doubt even God is completely what he's made out to be. (Any of the devout are incouraged to disbelieve this but otherwise don't badger me, mind you) From what I've interpreted, any deity is self-serving and chaotic. If any can claim the creation of man, then doesn't it make sense that they can just make more of us when we die without a second thought? They also will only do things when it suits them. (referring back to hypocrisy allows for argument in this, but just stick with me please) If they do exist, deities don't care what we do as long as it doesn't disturb them.I would say more, but I'm really busy right now. Darkness doesn't always attribute to evil, just as light doesn't always embody good...

no one can control but we can push life in the right direction to make the world a better place for the next generation. that's what i personally believe.

you may not be able to change your life but you can deferentially change your own fate by making the right choices and staying out of trouble.

Emotions? Nope, I've got nothin' like that. I told you when we first met, didn't I? I'm a snake. With cold skin, no emotions, that slithers around searching for prey with its tongue, swallowing down whatever looks tasty.

The show's star says that even now, the teen sleuth's story isn't quite over.
"I would be down for anything," Kristen Bell tells PEOPLE of the series, which went off the air in 2007 but was resurrected for a fan-funded film in March. "I'm that kind of girl. You can quote me on that."
The catch? Bell and creator Rob Thomas want to hear from viewers – who set a Kickstarter record by contributing $5.7 million to get the movie made – about the format for any type of sequel.
"I would like to know what the fans want, because especially after the Kickstarter campaign, they are such an integral part of this project. They're the element we couldn't do without," says Bell, 33, throwing out a small Netflix show, return to network television, web series or another movie as possibilities.
As for the age-old question of Veronica's true soulmate, Bell says her views have evolved.
"I used to be Team Piz, because over the series he treated her better. I was there every episode. I saw that crazy s––– Logan pulled," she jokes. "After the movie, I'm back on Team Logan again – and I would like to see them team up and fight crime together."
In the meantime, Bell has stepped behind the camera as creative director for a Lipton Iced Tea mini film series, shooting funny videos for the brand's "Win an Extra SUNday" promotion. The third and last clip premieres Wednesday.
But don't expect her to hop back into the director's chair anytime soon.
"I would have to be inspired, I think," she says. "I don't know if I'm ready to take on a project completely by myself yet, but I really like the messaging behind this new Lipton campaign."
Something she is ready for? Her Frozen alter ego Anna's reappearance on the small screen as a character on Once Upon a Time.
"I think it's wonderful. I've seen it, I don't watch it religiously, but I love what I've seen," she said of the ABC show.
"I'm very entertained by the fantasy aspect, whether it's sci-fi or zombies or fairy princesses. I think magic is really cool, so I think it's an honor that we were included alongside so many other popular fairy tales that have been around for so long."

"People are like, 'She just can't handle' – for lack of a better word – 'the spotlight.' No, actually, I can't, and this is totally who I am," she admits in the March issue of Marie Claire.
"I don't try to force it or turn it into something else or fabricate this personality … so I totally agree when people say I'm, like, the most awkward person."
The 23-year-old, who got her start as a child but rocketed to fame in the Twilight films, says she "had no idea Twilight was going to be huge" – or that she would end up falling for her costar, Robert Pattinson.
"You don't know who you will fall in love with. You just don't. You don't control it," she says.
Tesh / Marie Claire
Stewart's relationship with Pattinson imploded in 2012 after she had a fling with Rupert Sanders, the married director of her film Snow White and the Huntsman.
While Stewart issued a public apology, and they reconciled, the couple seemingly split for good last year.
But for Stewart, who admits she lives a "fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants lifestyle," there's no looking back.
"I stand by every mistake I've ever made," she says. "So judge away."

An Armenian from Glendale. Glendale, California is home to the largest Armenian-American population in the US. The name Glenarm comes from the name of a street in neighboring Pasadena. The word is used pejoratively by Pasadeneans to describe greasy Armenian men who hang out in Old Town Pasadena. They dress badly, drive badly, and are usually short, out-of-shape, and balding.
Check out those Glenarms cruising in their ghettoed-out Benz.

Can you define these popular missing words?
Ah,Glen Arm. The land of tractors, farmers and a whole lot of nothing. If you're looking for a good time, keep searching because the most you will find out here along glen arm road is flat land with an occasional house thrown into the mix. Just a short ride to places like jacksonville, pheonix, and baldwin...not that these places contain much more excitement than glen arm itself. But then again, what would we do without our red-neck tractor driving farmers to give us a wave as we drive by?
glen arm = boredom.

An alert pastor was able to prevent a burglary at his church in northeast Kansas City early Monday morning.
The pastor at Beaumont Baptist Church near Interstate 435 and 24 Highway chased the burglar from the church after the burglar entered the building through a window, Kansas City Police said.
The pastor then called police, which used a K-9 to track the burglar into a nearby wooded area.
The burglar has been taken into custody. Police said he was carrying some objects, but would not elaborate.
No other information was immediately available.

It's been quite a summer for several members of the Stetson women's golf team.
Rising senior Jenna Hoecker (Rochester, N.Y.) is the latest to take home some hardware as she won the New York State Women's Amateur Championship on Thursday, July 10 at the Country Club of Ithaca.
Hoecker followed in the footsteps of her teammate Mallory Viera (Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla.) who won the Florida State Women's Amateur Championship last month.
"It continues to be a great summer for our golf team," Stetson head coach Floyd Kerr said. "To have two of our players win their state championship is really neat. First, Mallory wins the Florida State Amateur Championship and now Jenna wins the New York State Amateur Championship in a great finishing round. I am extremly proud of both of them."
After shooting 75-74 in the first two rounds in wet and rainy conditions, Hoecker found herself leading by one stroke heading into the final round. She then carded a one-under-par 70 to pull away from the field, capturing her first state title by an eight-stroke margin.
"It felt good to finally shoot a round under par as well as hit 14 out of 18 greens," Hoecker said after the final round. "My mental game is finally coming around and I am excited for the upcoming semester."
"For Jenna this is a huge step," Kerr said. "She has always been one of our hardest workers in practice and now it is great to see her reap benefits for her efforts.
Earlier this week, incoming Hatter freshman Alessandra Kutz (Sanford, Fla.) qualified for the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship, which will be played August 5-11 in Charleston, S.C.
"As the summer winds down our players still have some tournament golf left and hopefully they will finish strong and be ready to go this fall," Kerr said.

Stetson University's tennis program not only handed head coach Pierre Pilote his 400th career victory during the 2011-12 season, but also came close to perfection in the class room.
The women's team placing seven of eight players on the Atlantic Sun Academic honor roll for the 2011-12 year. The Hatters' men's team matched that total, giving the teams a combined 14 of 17 players on the honor rolls.
"The A-Sun academic awards add to an already very successful academic year for both men's and women's tennis teams," Pilote said. "The ITA All-Academic team awards and the Scholar Athlete awards will be announced within the next few weeks and expect both program to receive the team award and a number of players the Scholar athlete award.
"When it is all said and done, this will turn out to be our most successful year academically in the programs' history."
A pair of players on the men's squad, seniors Maksim Levanovich and Dane Moran, were two of just seven Hatters named to the A-Sun President's List, which is awarded only to student-athletes who have completed their eligibility with a GPA of 3.8 or better. Only 41 student-athletes from across the conference received this honor.
"Maksim had an outstanding year both on the court and in the classroom," Pilote said. "He is very worthy of all the recognition he is receiving since his graduation."
Another member of the men's team, senior Njal Stene, received the A-Sun Commissioner's Scholar recognition. That honor was awarded to just 46 student-athletes from across the league and requires a GPA of between 3.6 and 3.79 upon graduation.
Six Hatters received recognition on the Conference Scholar's List for having a GPA of at least 3.4, three from the men's team and three from the women's squad. That list included a total of 406 student-athletes from around the league, 55 from Stetson.
Senior Shannon Gunning, junior Jen Miller and sophomore MayaBlue Stauffer-MacDowell were all named to the Conference Scholar list from the women's team while senior Chris Hyma, junior Erik Halaj and sophomore Hans Adrian Riseng were recognized from the men's team.
The Hatters also placed five others on the All-Academic team for posting a GPA of at least 3.0.
That list includes juniors Sara Lazarevic and Clarke Tatje, sophomore Diana Bukajeva as well as freshman Rachel Luke from the women's squad and junior Didrik Berg from the men's team.
Overall, the A-Sun recognized 1,416 student-athletes as All-Academic selections for their work in the classroom by reaching the 3.0 mark. Additionally, 89 percent of the A-Sun's 18 championship teams had at least half of the student-athletes on their rosters earn All-Academic recognition.
Stetson was one of four league institutions to have had more than 70 percent of its student-athletes recognized for having a grade-point average of at least 3.0. Stetson had 139 of its 197 student-athletes who competed in the Atlantic Sun recognized.
"I applaud all who continue to successfully achieve as student-athletes," A-Sun Commissioner Ted Gumbart said. "To see nearly two-thirds of our student-athletes earn this level of academic distinction means that they certainly are committed to the A-Sun's mission of 'Building Winners for Life.'
"It is important to recognize that this is a team effort, due to the commitment of the athletic administration, coaches and staff of our member institutions, who daily serve as the catalysts for such impressive development of our young people. Congratulations and thank you again to the institutions and to each student-athlete for providing such an outstanding representation of the Atlantic Sun Conference."

A friend once recounted his story of a jump-seat ride aboard an Aeroflot airlines Tu-154 during the 1980s. After the Russian trijet had reached cruise altitude, the flight crew broke out a bottle of sherry and began celebrating, because they had managed to survive another takeoff in an airplane not known for its reliability.

Industry insiders and analysts believe the business and private jet industry will witness a resurgence in 2011 as a global economic recovery continues.

Gulfstream acquired the super-midsize G200 when it bought Galaxy Aerospace in 2001. The aircraft offered a unique value because its ovoid fuselage actually allows for more headroom than a full-size Gulfstream GIV (with a tube that is only two inches narrower), seating for eight to 10 passengers, true transcontinental range, a 45,000-foot ceiling and a top speed of Mach 0.85.

Embraer entered the light jet market in 2005, promising more for less, and the $8.14 million Phenom 300 delivers. It's fast, has long legs and sports a well-equipped, comfortable cabin with an array of options typically found only in airplanes costing millions more. The Phenom 300 was certified late last year.
"When you get into the larger aircraft it becomes like a hotel, with dozens of staff supporting the plane based in a galley area down below. You have very comprehensive cooking facilities, and on larger aircraft we have looked at theatres, with spiral staircases and a Steinway grand piano. The limitations for what you can put inside a plane are pretty much the limits of physics, and even money cannot always overcome that. Even so, people are still always trying to push [the limits]. "

Even if the vote is close, and someone wins by just a little, tiny hair,
electors give that person all their votes, and it's considered fair and square!
– "I'm Gonna Send Your Vote to College," Schoolhouse Rock
It's tough not to feel a little blue in New York State these days.
We've been neglected, with all that love from President Obama and Mitt Romney going to places like Ohio, Virginia and Florida. Even tiny New Hampshire's four electoral votes earned a campaign visit Saturday.
Never mind the red states and blue states. All anybody will care about Tuesday night are the grand prizes known as swing states.
It's easy to blame that esoteric concept known as the Electoral College. But a solution might be in the hands of state legislators.
Who, before 2000, even thought about the Electoral College since their days of civics class? Now, in the final days of a seemingly endless presidential battle, it's on everybody's mind.
Just like the rest of the country, we've lived through 22 months of political gaffes, partisan rhetoric and endless predictions. Most of us are as tired of this race as 4-year-old Abigael Evans, whose tearful declaration that she was sick of "Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney" went viral last week.
All this, for what? To be told that no matter which presidential candidate you choose at the polls, the winner in New York State has already been foretold?
The candidates know it. The campaigns know it. We know it.
You hardly hear a peep from a presidential candidate in New York unless they're looking for money.
The Electoral College has rendered New York voters about as useful as Congress is these days. Its state-by-state system has relegated Western New Yorkers to virtual sideline spectators of presidential elections.
No wonder New York's turnout, even in record-setting 2008, was in the bottom quarter. It's hard to get excited when we have been taken for granted.
And then there's the remote possibility that there will be another popular vote that doesn't match the outcome of the Electoral College – further eroding people's faith in politics.
So why do we continue with this archaic system, one dreamt up by Founding Fathers who couldn't have imagined a world in which a 4-year-old in Colorado would be so saturated by presidential election news she would be moved to tears?
There's plenty of popular support for scrapping the Electoral College, but changing the Constitution is – for good reason – an uphill battle.
Here's the intriguing thing: The Constitution parcels out the country's 538 electoral votes to the states, but it's up to each state to determine how those electors will cast their votes. In all but two, Maine and Nebraska, there's a winner-take-all system in which all of the electoral votes go to the victor of the state – no matter how close the margin of victory.
All it would take is a state bill to change how New York divvies up its 29 electoral votes from an all-or-nothing system to something that better represents how New Yorkers voted.
It might just be the next best thing to dumping the outdated proxy system we call a presidential election.

Orange Park, Fla. – The Stetson University women's golf team was unable to make up any ground on the leaders Sunday at the JMU/Eagle Landing Invitational and finished 12th in the 16-team event.
Battling wind gusts in excess of 30 miles per hour, senior Ryan Ashburn powered her way to a three-over par 75 in the final round to earn a top 20 finish. Ashburn finished the tournament with a nine-over par total of 225. That left Ashburn 10 strokes behind tournament medalist Tiffany Chin from Daytona State, who was the only player to complete the tournament under par.
Elon took team honors. The Phoenix were the only team to break 300 on Sunday. Their 299 was enough to rally past Georgia State for a four-shot victory. Elon finished with a team score of 892 while the Panthers finished with an 896 in second. Delaware (899) was the only other team to break 900 for the weekend and finished third.
Stetson's 310 on Sunday left the Hatters in 12th place, five shots behind Morehead State and six behind host James Madison for a top 10 finish.
Behind Ashburn, senior Jenna Hoecker finished 34th overall. Hoecker posted a six-over par 78 on Sunday to finish with a 228 for the weekend. She was two shots ahead of senior Sammi Smith, who finished tied for 39th after a final round 77.
Senior Claudia Redinger finished with an 80 on Sunday to tie for 63rd at 240. Freshman Giulia Vandenberg posted a third consecutive 82 in the final round and finished tied for 80th with a final score of 246.
The Hatters will be right back in action this weekend when they compete in the Morehead State Invitational Tournament. That event is scheduled to be played March 23-25 at Juliette Falls Golf Club in Ocala.

Syracuse's second-string defense was holding its own against the Orange first-string offense.
It was a scrimmage in August, and Doug Marrone had taken his team to Fort Drum for a week of practices. Late in the scrimmage, quarterback Ryan Nassib switched to a no-huddle mode and directed a touchdown drive. It turned out to be the spark that ignited Syracuse's offensive explosion.
Marrone's offensive coordinator, Nathaniel Hackett, decided to go all-in with the no-huddle run by his senior quarterback. The Orange set a school record for yards en route to an 8-5 season.
"Two weeks before the season started we changed the whole offense," Hackett said before Syracuse played in the Pinstripe Bowl two weeks ago. "We took everything out that we had done for two years, which had been successful to a certain extent. … You go to a senior quarterback and say, 'Hey we're gonna change this whole system.' As a coach you're a little nervous. But it was great to see him with a smile on his face and say 'coach, let's do it.'"
What does the dramatic switch say about the offensive philosophy of Marrone, the new Buffalo Bills head coach, and Hackett, the coordinator he brought with him to One Bills Drive?
They are willing to be flexible.
In 2010, Marrone's best offensive player was running back Delone Carter. Marrone had poor depth at receiver and a center who couldn't execute a shotgun snap. The Orange employed a standard, pro-style running game and rode Carter to an 8-5 record.
In 2012, Marrone's best offensive player was Nassib. The depth had improved. The Orange ran an up-tempo, no-huddle all year. They ran 200 more plays than in 2010, scored 100 more points and gained 2,000 more yards.
What else can Bills fans expect from Marrone and Hackett on offense? Based on their history, here are some basics:
• Saints style. Marrone's NFL experience as an offensive coordinator came in New Orleans under Sean Payton. Payton's system is based in the West Coast scheme, with an emphasis on the possession passing game and accurate throws that allow the receiver to run after the catch. Hackett's father, Paul, is a West Coast disciple. Payton also throws a little more downfield than the average West Coast coach. Saints QB Drew Brees likes to run plays with receivers running four vertical routes downfield. The West Coast system uses a lot of verbiage, as opposed to calling plays with numbers. It can be tough for a young quarterback who is unfamiliar with it to learn.
• Balance. Marrone was an offensive line coach. He didn't build his reputation by throwing the ball all over the field. Even before Syracuse's snow-filled, run-oriented bowl game, the Orange ran 52 percent of the time in 2012.
"They were very physical," said Syracuse great Floyd Little. "This was one of the most physical football teams in Division I football this year."
• Multiple personnel groups. Payton also is an expert at utilizing many personnel groups in an attempt to exploit the defense's biggest weakness, whether it's the third linebacker, fourth cornerback or strong safety.
In Marrone's last year as Saints' coordinator, 2008, the Saints mixed their personnel groupings a ton. Consider first-and-10 situations. The Saints used two tight ends 29 percent of the plays. They used one tight end and two wide receivers (regular personnel) 32 percent. They used one tight end and three receivers 31 percent. The Saints' fullback played about a third of the snaps.
• Blocking schemes. Marrone's NFL experience as an offensive coordinator came in New Orleans under Payton. He took a lot of the Saints' schemes to Syracuse. New Orleans primarily runs a zone/stretch blocking scheme. The linemen block to an area and move to the next level to block a linebacker as they go. There are a lot of double-teams at the point of attack. The running back can pick his hole and cut back as the defensive front gets stretched along the line of scrimmage. This is the same thing the Bills have done under Gailey. A ton of Syracuse's runs were inside zone plays out of the shotgun.
• No-huddle. Hackett adopted the hurry-up offense, which he had been exposed to in 2009 while working under Turk Schonert and Alex Van Pelt. The Bills didn't have the personnel to run it that year. Syracuse did, thanks to Nassib's evolution. Syracuse used a lot of words in play calling Marrone's first three years but cut way back and simplified the terminology this year.
• The read option. Hackett incorporated read-option running plays into the offense this year. Washington's Robert Griffin III and Seattle's Russell Wilson took the NFL by storm this year, in part by running the read option, in which the quarterback takes a shotgun snap, reads the defense, and either hands off to the running back up the middle or pulls it out of the back's belly and keeps it himself off tackle.
Marrone will be taking Anthony Weaver from the Jets' staff to Buffalo to work with the defensive line, the New York Daily News reported. Weaver, 32, was assistant defensive line coach for the Jets this year. He played seven seasons in the NFL as a defensive end.
Bills safety Jairus Byrd was named to the 2012 NFL All-Pro second team today, after voting by a national panel of 50 media members.
Byrd, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this spring, finished the season with 76 tackles, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, five interceptions and six passes defensed.

Shortly after 11 a.m., the former child star, 27, took the stand, wearing a blonde wig, gray sweat pants and a baggy black sweater – and looking blasé.
She faces charges of reckless endangerment and marijuana possession for allegedly smoking marijuana in the lobby of her building.
Additionally, according to police, she was booked for tampering with evidence, for allegedly tossing a bong from a 36th-floor window.
In court, her lawyer, Andrew Friedman, said his client denies throwing a bong out of a window and claims the police illegally followed her into her apartment.
Asked by Judge Neil Ross, of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, if she lives in New York, Bynes replied, "I do, sir."
The prosecutor wanted bail money for her release but the judge waived it.
Ross did tell Bynes if she gets arrested again, or fails to return to court for her next appearance, which the judge set for July 9, he is going to "set a significant bail."
He then asked her is that completely clear? "Yes," she replied.

Bynes has a history of DUI and other automobile-related cases in Los Angeles courts, and has attracted attention for a series of provocative Twitter postings and almost daily media accounts of unusual behavior.

Perhaps I was lured by what I perceived as an ability to get away with really outrageous behavior. In any case, I know I thought it would be nice to be one someday!
I was fortunate to have known quite a few — some memorable. My great-aunt Nan, who was part of my life until I was 12, had a tremendous influence on me. She loved to travel, which probably whetted my appetite for foreign scenes. As well, she was intrepid in her pursuit of independence.
Living alone in a large two-story house, she had a great deal of responsibility. I recall that one night she heard her chickens squawking. Assuming it was a possum, she put on a robe, got her pistol and went outside to check.
It was as she had suspected, but the pistol did not fire. Unperturbed, she clobbered the critter with the handle. My recollection is that she was neither chided nor criticized; rather, people laughed at the event and murmured something about her being eccentric.
... There were certain standards that Aunt Nan felt all Southern girls should meet. An appreciation for opera was one, so I was required to spend Saturday afternoons with her listening to the Metropolitan Opera.
I think I was more successful in learning to tat, which was another skill I was expected to acquire. Although her method of teaching fell somewhat short, I was sufficiently inspired to learn from a book, which she took as an affront.
She was also the family recordkeeper and sometime researcher, which undoubtedly influenced my later interest in genealogy and research.
As a teenager, I became acquainted with a Mrs. Garris. She grew beautiful flowers and could be depended on to provide choice specimens for use in corsages, a necessity for music recitals and special events. I was always delighted to have an opportunity to visit her and recall having watched her fingers flick the dead leaves from hanging flower baskets; I don't recall having heard her talk to them, but I don't think I would have been shocked if she had.
One of my father's relatives was an accomplished genealogist and writer; many of her articles and pamphlets survive today. On one of our rare visits to the town of Ninety Six, probably in the '40s, she took a long time to come to the door.
Welcoming us inside, Aunt Lieze sheepishly explained that she had genealogy charts spread out on her sofa, where she had been on her knees comparing them. She had feared that the visitor might have been a neighbor who already suspected that she worshipped her ancestors and then would be sure of it.
The joy of my life, however, was my paternal grandmother, whose life I shared for 35 years. In all that time, I do not recall a single instance of her having been despondent or irritable; somehow, despite numerous challenges, she seemed to find a way to accept life and smile. This was undoubtedly one of the reasons friends and family adored her.
The quintessential hostess, she welcomed everyone to her home and could always seat another person at her table or provide a bed for the night. At least one niece stayed the school year, as there was not a school close to her home.
The closest to criticism from my grandmother that I recall was during the late '60s, when skirts were being worn very short. Mine were never mini-skirts, but undoubtedly were far shorter than she would have liked. When I wore a particular dress, she would sigh, shake her head and say, "I do so love that dress. I just wish there were more of it." And then she would laugh, and I would know it was all OK.
And now that I am an old lady and have learned to pronounce "septuagenarian," I realize that I have generally accomplished what I needed to do without having had to wait to be really, really old.

Firefighter Beau Archambeau, 26, of West Ashley, has been with Summerville for just over a year.
He grew up on Pawleys Island and graduated in 2009 from the College of Charleston with a BS in Business Administration. He worked for a while as a manager at Zaxbys but, he says, he always knew that firefighting was what he wanted to do.
"My dad was a firefighter – a battalion chief for Midway then a paramedic in Georgetown. He loved it so much he went back to school to become a doctor."
"I was going to go into the military after high school," says Archambeau, "but my dad wanted me to at least try college. 'Try it out and just to see' my dad told me so I did and ended up spending four years there."
In 2010 he began volunteering at Pine Ridge Fire Department and is still active with them.
Currently third driver/assistant engineer is the next step, he says, but admits that he has a "lofty goal" of eventually working his way up to chief of a department.
His next step is a master's program through Oklahoma State University, which enables him to take the majority of his courses online via distance learning, leaving only nine hours that must be taken on campus. He wants to get his master's in fire service administration.
But his wife, Kristen, is in pharmacy school and at the moment, he says, they can't afford two tuitions. His turn will be next.
He is so new to the department he hasn't had a lot of experiences however, he says, he has certainly had a bad one. "My first fatality had a real impact on me…we couldn't help the person, they were dead on arrival."
At home he and his wife have a cat – LeeLoo.
Archambeau enjoys surfing and golf and spending time with friends. "My wife is my best friend."
He likes target shooting and fishing and enjoys movies and music.
A musician himself, he plays the guitar and the trumpet. "I used to perform but haven't in years," he says. He played with the wind ensemble at COC.
He likes cooking and says he likes to think he's pretty good at it.
Currently he is at Station One but in a month, he says, he will be going to the new fire station in Kightville.
He met his wife in high school in 2003 and they have been together ever since. They married in 2010.
He came to the area for school and ended up staying and really likes it here. When his wife finishes school he is really hoping she will find a job locally so they can stay.
His goals are simple – kids some day and successful careers for both his wife and himself.

The election on Tuesday will be something of a watershed event in West Virginia. Will voters decide it's time for our state to take a new course - or will good old boy politics prevail?
Whichever side you're on for governor - Republican Bill Maloney's or Democrat Earl Ray Tomblin's - that's the bottom line. Tomblin is a traditional Democrat politician from Logan County. With one important exception, which we'll get to in a moment, doing things the way they've always been done under Democrat domination of the statehouse is fine with him. Maloney, the Republican from Monongalia County, wants to shake things up. Tax, regulatory and judicial reform to bring new jobs to West Virginia, along with schools made better through some ideas Tomblin would shun, are his cup of tea.
Maloney seems to be gaining some traction, though it remains to be seen whether he can close the popularity gap with Tomblin by next Tuesday, which is Election Day.
Earlier this month, a Public Policy poll indicated Tomblin was just 6 percentage points ahead of Maloney - with about 14 percent of eligible voters still undecided.
A newer poll indicates Maloney is picking up steam. It was conducted by the Melman Group on Sept. 22, for the Democratic Governors Association - and that makes a difference. Public opinion samplers can talk all they want about "scientific polling," but if you've watched their results for a few years, you've noticed that often, results seem to lean toward those hoped for by whomever is paying for the surveys.
Of course, there's another reason to release poll numbers: If they show your candidate in the lead, they tend to create something of a bandwagon effect in his favor.
But if anything, the Melman poll indicates the Tomblin bandwagon may be slowing down. About a month ago, Melman did a poll that showed Tomblin leading Maloney, 47 percent to 33 percent. But on Sept. 22, Tomblin had remained at about the same level, with 46 percent - while Maloney had gained and was at 36 percent. A 14-point lead had been cut to 10 points. Again, remember this was a poll done for Tomblin's friends.
Maloney has good reason to believe an anti-establishment - or, if you prefer, "throw the bums out" - feeling may motivate many voters.
First, as I've noted previously, the number of West Virginians who register to vote as independents has grown enormously during recent years.
Second, Maloney pulled off an upset in the Republican primary election, defeating former Secretary of State Betty Ireland. Much of his campaign against her pointed out she was a veteran of politics, while he was a newcomer from the private sector.
And third, Tomblin cannot avoid being linked to President Barack Obama because both are Democrats - and Tomblin has supported much of the president's agenda. Obama is very unpopular in West Virginia.
Back to that important exception. Indeed, Tomblin is an old-style Democrat who follows the party line on most matters. But a couple of decades ago, leaders in his party diverged from the old ways on how state finances were handled. Now, in part because of work by Tomblin while he was president of the state Senate, West Virginia has a reputation for fiscal responsibility matched by few other states. Tomblin hopes to ride that to victory Tuesday.
But Maloney's position - that West Virginians can do much better if we just abandon other traditional Democrat policies - will be appealing to many voters. They've noticed that while the government seems to be doing all right, things haven't gotten a lot better for the average Mountaineer for some time. And for the one-in-12 people in our state on the unemployment rolls, they've gotten worse.
It will come down to a get-out-the-vote battle. Can Tomblin mobilize the old-fashioned Democrat machine?
Or will Maloney be able to rally conservatives of both parties, plus independents, who think it's time for a change?
We'll find out Tuesday night.

Windows 8 Gets Possibly Free "Blue" Upgrade in 2013, May Split From Server Tree

New version will bring the UI inline with Windows Phone
Microsoft Corp.'s (
) Windows 8 operating system was a bold and risky gambit, which traded familiarity for an innovative new graphically rich (some say
graphically rich) user interface. Now the veteran operating system maker is eyeing more ambitious changes, notably a shift to an Apple, Inc. (
)-like track of more frequent (perhaps annual) operating system releases.
I. Windows Blue to Land in 2013?
Originally thought to be a service pack, sources at Microsoft have been spilling word of an upcoming release called Windows "Blue" (perhaps a code-name) to
The Verge
in recent months.
According to the latest rumors, the 2013 release will be inexpensive or perhaps free, to incentivize upgrades. And it will be a full operating system upgrade. In this regard, the new development cycle Microsoft is moving towards closely
resembles Apple's
-- frequent, cheap operating system upgrades.
Microsoft is also planning a move that may shock and upset some developers -- it will reportedly release a new version of its SDK for Windows Blue, and at that point will stop accepting
Windows Store apps
built on the old Windows 8 SDK. Again, this choice is a calculated tactic on Microsoft's part to push developers and users to embrace the new platform.
The new OS will also shift Microsoft's position regarding leniency for users upgrading from pirate versions. With Blue, if you upgrade from a pirated copy of Windows 8, even if you bought a legitimate copy your Windows Store and the built-in-apps will still be bricked.
[Image Source: NeoWin]
According to
, the term "Windows 9" has begun to creep into text in Microsoft employee postings, suggesting Microsoft may official dub the upcoming OS Windows 9, when it hits release next year.
Another report from
suggests that the new operating system will move Windows 8 to using smaller
Live Tiles
, similar to
those in Windows Phone 8
. This would seem to agree with
The Verge
's sources who suggest Windows Blue/Windows 9 will be part of an effort to complete the transition of Windows Phone and Windows (PC) into a single code-base and consistent user interface. As part of this effort, Windows Phone may receive a corresponding "Blue" update, as well.
II. Are Windows Users Ready for Another Big Shift?
The news of the big shift in release cycles and upcoming new 2013 Windows release comes on the heels of Microsoft's
first report on the health of Windows 8 sales
In its release Microsoft announced that it had moved 40 million licenses in its first month of sales, despite no longer offering the free upgrades for purchasers who bought machines in the months leading up to the release (as it did with Windows 7).
Of course,
will be quick to point that Microsoft reduced upgrade fees (albeit charging more of them), did not disclose its revenue associated with the upgrades, and did not disclose how many of its licenses sold to OEMs were resold.
Will Windows users embrace an Apple-like release schedule? [Image Source: Double DT]
Nonetheless, it appears Windows 8 wasn't the complete disaster some doomsayers predicted. It should be interesting whether Microsoft's next big shift at least receives as warm a welcome as Windows 8.

RE: Win 7 Desktop option
>MS wont stop you installing non windows store apps on their
>Windows 8 PCs.
MS does stop users from installing Metro apps on Windows 8 PCs. Every new feature of Windows 8 is in the new WinRT library. Developers are being pressured to move to WinRT. When they do, Windows Store becomes the only installation option. "Blue" and its new SDK is another move designed to push developers to WinRT. I wish people would stop saying "you can install desktop apps". That's fine until there aren't desktop apps. MS even attempted to disable their ultra-popular Visual Studio Express from being able to develop non-Metro apps until there was an outcry and they decided to put the ability to target the desktop back in. We've seen this same thinking on OS X:
Apple introduces OS X Store: "It's just an option; you can still install whatever you want."
Apple adds option to only allow software to be installed from OS X Store: "No big deal; it's just something someone can turn on for extra security. It's not even the default."
Apple makes it the default in OS X Mountain Lion: "It's no big deal; you can go in and turn it off when you get your Mac/after you upgrade."
One guess as to what the next step is for OS X in either the next release or the one after, especially if Microsoft gets away with Windows Store on the desktop? That option to disable quietly disappears. Some OS X users have seen the writing on the wall and at least one popular Apple blogger (who predicted all of those moves before they happened) announced he was switching to Ubuntu as a result because he knew what was coming next. Now a segment of Windows users are doing the same thing, ignoring the completely obvious pattern about what's going on here. One's an incident, two's a coincidence, three's a pattern. Metro UI registry tweak removed, WinStore lock-down, attempt to pull desktop devel from VS Express, NYT reveals Sinofsky pitched mandatory Metro to Ballmer, VP of WinPhone conference call in which he touts desktop Metro as good for WinPhone sales, now Blue? That's a pattern.
>Windows 8 RT and Phone will be (and are)closed systems, but not
>the full version of Win 8.
Blue converges Windows 8 and Windows phone both on the kernel/software side AND THE PROGRAMMING SIDE. If you write for Win8 you'll have to use Blue SDK and Blue SDK also applies to the phone. In effect, MS is forcing anyone who wants to sell Metro apps through their store - and they can't get their Metro apps onto your PC any other way - to develop for the phone too! What's being locked down are the developers themselves! They're being coerced into making every Metro app they write also runnable on a WinPhone and Tablet if they want to develop for the Metro desktop, and given Windows is a monopoly, that's somewhat of a necessity, at least for the time being. You don't see this as a problem? Microsoft store also dictates how the software must perform, including startup time of two seconds or less. Don't expect to see complex games using the WinRT library! It also excludes certain software licenses, such as GPLv3. Microsoft will have a heck of a lot more control over most of the world's PCs than it's ever had before.
>Windows 8 does not change anything compared to Windows 7 except
>giving you a start screen instead of a start menu.
Really? Have you noticed that all Metro apps run on full screen, even on a 27" monitor, for starters, and can't overlap? All because MS' goal (which I can't believe you can't see) is to make every desktop app also runnable on a smart phone - even if the developer doesn't want to?
>I dont see the issue with that. I have it, use it and I am going
>to keep it.
Two words: Stockholm Syndrome.
"It's okay. The scenarios aren't that clear. But it's good looking. [Steve Jobs] does good design, and [the iPad] is absolutely a good example of that." -- Bill Gates on the Apple iPad
