UM-Dearborn will enroll the largest freshman class in its history, up more than 50 over last year, and more than 150 ahead of 2006
August 29, 2008
DEARBORN / Aug. 29, 2008---The University of Michigan-Dearborn will welcome the largest freshman class in its history at a convocation ceremony on campus on Tuesday, Sept. 2. Classes begin the next day, Sept. 3.
This years freshman class is forecast to include 960 students, up from last falls total of 903, and an increase of more than 150 students from fall 2006.
This is good news for our campus, but also for our region, according to Stanley E. Henderson, vice chancellor for enrollment management and student life at UM-Dearborn. We know that the prosperity of our state depends in large part on increasing the number of college graduates, and we are committed to doing our part.
UM-Dearborn has increased marketing and communications efforts and streamlined admissions operations in the past several years. The campus was rated among the top master's-level public universities in the Midwest in the annual guide to American colleges published Sept. 1 by U.S. News & World Report.
"We are working to let more students know about the great value and quality of the educational opportunities we have here," Henderson said. Increasingly, students throughout the region recognize that not only do we provide a University of Michigan degree, we also expect our students to contribute and to make our community a better place. As a result, we have some truly exceptional students and they go on to make a difference in the quality of life in our region after they graduate.
Total enrollment for the campus will be tallied three weeks into the semester.

After receiving valuable help from his teammates, Greg Van Avermaet finished the job himself Wednesday at the Tour de Wallonie by sprinting to victory in the final stage and earning the BMC Racing Team its second yellow jersey in less than a week.
Total Team Effort
Van Avermaet entered the final 154-kilometer stage tied on time with Joost Van Leijen (Vacansoleil). Mathias Frank, Martin Kohler and John Murphy spent the majority of the race on the front to chase down a breakaway. After the break was caught, Taylor Phinney and Alexander Kristoff kept the race together in the final 10 kilometers and Alessandro Ballan led Van Avermaet onto the cobbled climb to the finish of the Mur de Thuin. Van Avermaet outsprinted Van Leijen to take the win and the overall title by four seconds. "The finish suited me well and it was great work by my teammates," Van Avermaet said. "Every day they were there to help me. This is definitely a highlight of my career."
On Good Form
Van Avermaet's victory marks the fourth stage race won by the BMC Racing Team in 2011, adding to three by Cadel Evans (Tour de France, Tour de Romandie and Tirreno-Adriatico). It is the first stage race victory of Van Avermaet's career and follows a runner-up finish overall at the Tour of Belgium in May. He also won a stage of the Tour of Austria earlier this month on the way to taking the sprint classification. "I've known Greg for a long time and he's always been a winner," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Rik Verbrugghe said. "So to see him do well in Belgium, Austria and now here is great. He is on good form and we'll see if he can hold it through to San Sebastian on Saturday."

Like many other people out there, I've come to love using the online image editor PicMonkey to edit my photos. It has every awesome feature you could want, plus some – and it's free. I didn't think I could love PicMonkey more than I already do, but I just came upon a super chévere seasonal addition. Not only have Halloween features been added, but there is now a Día de los Muertos theme!
Although I've never had a desire to paint my face like a sugar skull before, PicMonkey made this idea very tempting. Carlos came into the room while I was in the middle of creating this.
Carlos asked me, first, what in the world I was doing, and second, "I thought you said you were busy writing?"
(Thanks a lot, PicMonkey, for distracting me and getting me into trouble!) … I'll go back to writing now, the rest of you, go have fun!

I've always read good reviews on CUTCO knives. My friend has the whole Kitchen knife set...they can get pricey. They are made in New York and carry a FOREVER performance, FOREVER Sharpness and a FOREVER replacement service agreement. My young Nephew just became a rep and of course he hit me up to sell some. At first I told him that I can't afford those knives. LOL. He told me to take a look at the Hunting and fishing knives as the prices are very reasonable and they are backed by a great guarantee. I ended up buying the Drop point knifew with the Orange handle. I always lost a knife in the dark while gutting one year. The knife was 81 bucks shipped. I'm gonna buy the smaller loc kback knife next month. I do wish they carried the Leather sheath for lefties. Maybe I'll see if I can find some to copy the shealth and make one for left handed.
If you buy over 50 bucks and or want to buy more than one knife they will let you split the payments up too.

ASU is the
The Unique Needs of Arizona
The New American University represents a differentiated model of higher education, a model ASU is pursuing to meet the needs of Arizona. This New American University represents a new way of thinking about the fundamental objectives of a university--teaching, research, and public service. It is emerging in Phoenix as both a reflection of the unique spirit and character of the American Southwest and as the embodiment of a solution to the challenges of population growth and social and environmental change that face this rapidly urbanizing region. Since 1990, Phoenix has grown by 54% and is now the fifth largest city in the United States. The population of the region is projected to double in the next two decades, from 3.3 million today to 6 million in 2030. ASU seeks to provide the best possible education to the broadest possible spectrum of society, embracing the educational needs of the entire population. By the year 2020, ASU is projected to enroll 90,000 students. Arizona's rapid growth presents unique opportunities and distinct regional challenges. Educational achievement is critical to the state's economic well-being, but Arizona ranks among the lowest in the U.S. when it comes to high school graduates as a proportion of our 18-year-old population. As the student population increases, Arizona must provide its future workforce with a better academic foundation.
2 A New American University
Arizona has a high job growth rate and relatively low housing costs, but long-term economic vitality will depend upon highskill jobs and incomes that come from innovation. Furthermore, continual urban growth has increased average temperatures in metropolitan Phoenix over the past 50 years, which has raised energy requirements and altered quality of life.
outcome-determined excellence
ASU focuses on
The New American University
ASU seeks to advance social and economic development in Arizona. As it evolves, ASU will serve as the prototype for this New American University, redefining the existing conception of research universities. ASU will build a comprehensive metropolitan research university that is an unparalleled combination of academic excellence and commitment to our social, economic, cultural, and environmental setting. The New American University is an institution that measures its academic quality by the education its graduates have received rather than by the academic credentials of its incoming freshman class; one whose researchers, while pursuing their scholarly interests, also consider the public good; one whose students, faculty, and staff transcend the concept of community service to accept responsibility for the economic, social, cultural, and environmental vitality of the communities they serve.
Design Imperatives of the New American University
The New American University emerging at ASU reflects adaptability, individualism, entrepreneurialism, and optimism. Whether providing the best possible education to the students of Arizona, generating economic growth, or improving the quality of life for all Arizonans, ASU is committed to building a great university in the American Southwest. The New American University assumes responsibility for the society it serves. ASU is linked to its region, balancing its commitment to teaching with relevant research conducted for the public good, and assuming major responsibility for the well-being and vitality of the region. As a public metropolitan research university, ASU's student body, the character of its research enterprise, and the scope of its community engagement differs from that of other institutions. ASU is the only major university in the heart of one of the most rapidly urbanizing metropolitan areas in the nation. Arizona is marked by explosive population growth, demographic change, rapid development, and environmental trends that threaten our sustainability. In the face of these challenges, ASU acknowledges its responsibility to provide regional leadership.
ASU's vision for the proposed Arts and Business Gateway includes headquarters for the W.P. Carey School of Business; expansions of the Herberger College of Fine Arts and the College of Design; a conference center with hotel; a grocery store and other retail space; market-based housing units; and additional parking.

ASU focuses on outcome-determined excellence--that is, ASU admits students with differing interests and indicators of intelligence and creativity, and even different levels of college preparation. ASU's focus on the individual is a commitment to diversity. Major research universities, whether public or private, function in a fiercely competitive environment. In such a context, ASU must operate with real-world entrepreneurial speed and ingenuity. ASU has embarked on a dramatic research infrastructure expansion that is creating more than one million square feet of new research space. This physical expansion signals the accelerated pace at which ASU is establishing itself as one of the leading centers for cutting-edge interdisciplinary research. Consistent with the vision of the research university as a catalyst for societal change, ASU favors a research enterprise dedicated to societal relevance and socially beneficial outcomes. While addressing the unique demands and dynamics of the region, ASU maintains a global perspective.
ASU must embrace its role in the community and advance research that benefits society

he New Gold Standard
The American research university, through its scholarship and creativity, has contributed to the wealth and productivity of the nation and defined our cultural landscape. Research universities have been responsible for educating successive generations of scientists, engineers, artists, healthcare professionals, educators, and our nation's leaders in government and industry. Universities, to an astonishing degree, advance the health and happiness of humankind. Fifteen institutions--from Harvard to Michigan to Stanford-- define the American research university. Such has been the influence of these institutions that, to this day, every university in the nation measures itself according to their standards. These universities are considered definitive prototypes, and their disciplinary departments are the departments by which all others are implicitly judged. Although these institutions represent the gold standard, it is the gold standard of the past. The model for the New American University proposes a rethinking of the static organizational paradigms of American research universities. ASU is young and dynamic. Although it was founded in 1885 as a territorial teaching academy, its trajectory as a comprehensive research university did not begin until 1958. As one of our nation's youngest major research institutions, ASU was formed--but is not bound--by the organizational principles and practices of existing research universities. ASU will evolve in response to scientific discoveries, technological innovations, and to the host of societal challenges that confront us. Our design imperatives will foster a different kind of institution, a solution-focused university that is linked to its setting and the needs of our day.

The International Institute for Sustainability (IIS) will develop practical solutions to the environmental, economic, and social challenges of sustainable urban development. New information about the relationship between societal and environmental change will allow policy makers and consumers to reconcile developmental goals with environmental limitations. IIS will build upon ASU's world-class knowledge in areas such as arid lands ecology, urban ecology, and water resources. Phoenix, one of the nation's fastest growing urban regions, will be the springboard to study and test sustainability ideas. Arizonans have long used new technologies to subdue major rivers and tame desert heat, but natural processes such as drought still shape Arizona's environment and society. IIS will focus on local challenges where solutions have global application. Such challenges include rapid urbanization, water management in an arid environment, and border issues.
Indian Legal Program
The Indian Legal Program provides legal education, scholarship, and public service to tribal governments. Native Americans face new and old challenges in land rights, resources, sovereignty, cultural rights, and civil rights. This nationally recognized program trains Indian lawyers and promotes an understanding of the differences between the legal systems of Indian Nations and the United States. The ASU College of Law provides an ideal environment for engaging and understanding the many legal issues tribes currently face. Arizona has more federally designated Indian land than any other state, and Phoenix has a higher percentage of American Indians than any other large metropolitan area.
Students in the Indian Legal Program represent over 25 tribal nations. With almost 40 students, it is one of the largest groups of Native American law students in the nation. In addition to providing legal education and practical experience to its students, the program fosters a support network that helps students meet the challenges of law school.

Another program, Native Visions, offers a perspective not often presented on broadcast television: Native American issues as seen by Native Americans.
ASU in Space
Finding life on Mars would radically change the way we think about the possibilities for life throughout the universe. To determine whether conditions on this extreme planet may have once been favorable to life, scientists have developed instruments that provide the first detailed look at the mineralogy, geology, and atmosphere of Mars. ASU planetary scientists developed the Thermal Emission Spectrometer, which produced the first global mineral map of Mars and laid the groundwork for scientists to determine the history of water on Mars. The Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) camera, currently orbiting Mars on the Odyssey spacecraft, is identifying where ancient, wet environments once existed on Mars. Elementary through high school students also participate in real-life planetary exploration using the THEMIS camera. These students work with scientists, mission planners, and educators to image a site on Mars.

Biodesign Institute at ASU
Understanding and emulating nature will help solve the urgent problems posed by disease, depletion of natural resources, and threats to national security. The Biodesign Institute is taking an integrative approach to this challenge, one that blurs the lines between biotechnology, biomedicine, nanotechnology, information technology, cognitive science, and materials science and engineering. The Biodesign Institute's Center for Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology seeks new and effective ways of producing advanced vaccines targeted against disease-causing agents such as tuberculosis, smallpox, and SARS. Plant-made vaccines hold particular promise for poor and developing countries because they could be engineered for low cost and heat stability. Other centers at the Biodesign Institute include: Applied NanoBioscience, BioOptical Nanotechnology, Environmental Biotechnology, Evolutionary Functional Genomics, Neural Interface Design, Protein and Peptide Therapeutics, Rehabilitation Neuroscience and Engineering, and Single Molecule Biophysics.
Arts, Media and Engineering Program
A better understanding of the way the human body moves can improve patients' rehabilitation, encourage active learning in schools, and improve movement training in the arts, sports, and military. Because the human body is three-dimensional and moves in multiple levels of time, space, and energy, the investigation of these issues requires interdisciplinary collaboration. The Arts, Media and Engineering Program combines expertise and resources from anthropology, architecture, design, bioengineering, Chicana and Chicano studies, computer science and engineering, dance, education, electrical engineering, life sciences, music, psychology, sociology, theatre, and visual arts. One way in which these disciplines are working together is the motione project. Artists work in realtime to transform digital signals into graphics and sound that immediately respond to the dance choreography. Studying real-time motion analysis will enhance interactive capabilities between humans and machines.
During motione performances, dancers wear markers on their bodies that act as reflectors for infrared cameras positioned around the stage. The cameras send signals 100 times per second to computers and visual artists to create digital graphics and sound that accompany and enhance the choreography. Courtesy of Tim Trumble

Academic Nursing Centers
ASU nursing faculty and students provide health care to the underserved through nonprofit academic nursing centers. The ASU College of Nursing manages three nonprofit academic nursing centers throughout Phoenix. These centers give nurses the opportunity to move to the forefront of health care, serve those in need, and educate more than 200 of ASU's undergraduate and graduate nursing students each year. Providing health care for the uninsured and underinsured in community settings is cost-effective and reduces the use of emergency rooms for non-urgent needs. Combined, the centers reach over 1,000 people each month, bringing health care to clients in the neighborhoods where they live and instilling the value of community involvement in tomorrow's professional nurses. passive and solar design, radiant heat and cooling, rainwater collection and storage, and use of high recycled content and locally available materials.
University-School Partnerships
To ensure that high quality preK-12 education is available to all children, ASU is committed to improving early childhood education, enhancing teacher and educational leadership development, and supporting students, schools and families. The Alpha Partnership works with eight local school districts, assessing the needs of each district and meeting those needs with university and community expertise and resources. In one assessment, ASU business students found that awareness, family support, and financial concerns were some of the biggest challenges facing students. The ASU students wrote a business plan to address these needs. The plan included a course designed to outline the steps needed for college readiness and an outreach effort for parents to build family support for higher education. In addition to matching university and community resources to district needs, ASU is exploring research demonstration sites that will implement culturally responsive, technologically enhanced curriculum. The University Public Schools Initiative will produce globally competitive citizens and demonstrate research-based pedagogy, curriculum, and assessment for innovative schools.

Scott Mooneyham: Senate wants to slow end-around on borrowing
RALEIGH — About two decades ago, the North Carolina Supreme Court told local governments that they could borrow money without voter approval, using something called certificates of participation.
Roughly a decade later, state lawmakers decided that they could also duck voters to borrow money for building projects. The state's first foray into non-voter approved borrowing was made to build the new state psychiatric hospital at Butner.
Plenty of reasons exist to believe that building a new psychiatric hospital was a sound expense of state tax dollars. The worthiness of the expense doesn't change the fact that the court decision was always a bit suspect.
The state constitution plainly says that the General Assembly shall not, with a few exceptions involving emergencies, borrow money without voter approval. Similar language exists involving local government.
The legal end-around was made possible because of constitutional language saying that voter approval comes into play when a debt is "secured by a pledge of the faith and credit of the State." The courts decided that the certificates of participation didn't really obligate the state's taxpayers, as if taxpayers wouldn't be forced to repay the money.
Not surprisingly, once lawmakers had stuck a toe into the non-voter approved debt pool, a toe became a foot, and then a leg, and then another leg.
After decades of voters deciding when the state would embark on major building programs for schools, universities, roads and prisons, it has now been 13 years since state legislators asked voters to approve state borrowing.
State borrowing still rose pretty significantly at the start of the last decade, doubling in about five years.
It has not jumped so dramatically in recent years. In 2005, the state had taken on about $5.5 billion in debt supported by payments from its general operating fund. This year, the amount stands at about $6.5 billion.
On a per-capita basis, debt has risen from $645 per resident in 2005 to $815 in 2013. That figure still puts North Carolina state government among the lowest borrowers in the country.
Even so, you need to squint real hard to believe that the writers of the state constitution ever believed that a big chunk of that debt could be accumulated without voter approval.
The state Senate recently took a strong step toward reversing the trend, passing legislation that would allow no more than 25 percent of General Fund-supported debt to be of the non-voter approved variety.
Right now, about 40 percent of the $6.5 billion was approved without going to voters. If the state House and Gov. Pat McCrory go along with the bill, that 40-percent figure means that it will be a while before state lawmakers are allowed to jump in the certificates of participation pool again.
And what a change will await state leaders.
They may actually have to show something called leadership and sell the people on the legitimate needs of North Carolina.
Scott Mooneyham writes about state government for Capitol Press Association.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Punch P500X4D by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Heat is the enemy of all amplifiers — sucking power away from your music and damaging internal components over time. Rockford Fosgate came up with some clever innovations that lower the heat generated in these Class D Punch amplifiers, improving efficiency and reducing their size so they can fit in almost any vehicle. Punch performance The 4-channel Punch P500X4D amplifier sends 75 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers, giving you the crystal-clear power you need to hear the full impact of your music. You can also put the amp into 2-channel mode to drive a couple of subs with 250 watts RMS each. Separate front and rear frequency filters give you razor-sharp control over your speakers' clarity, while the onboard Punch EQ bass boost allows you to reinforce your music's low end when you're using a sub. Small and cool This versatile amp utilizes full-range Class D amp technology, drawing much less current from your car's electrical system than traditional amps, and generating tons of power from a remarkably compact chassis. Rockford Fosgate builds this amp using precision components assembled by high-speed, super-accurate robots this Discrete Surface Mount system results in less interference between parts, lower operating temperature, and increased life for the amplifier. An amplifier that's built to last, packed with power, and fits almost anywhere — what more could you want for your music?

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Controls Connections Features Overview: The Rockford Fosgate P500X4D is a 4x75-watt, Class-D, full-range, 4-channel amplifier. Class-D amplifiers are very efficient, which reduces current consumption from the vehicle's charging system. Cast Aluminum Heatsink: The cast aluminum heatsink dissipates heat generated by the amplifier's circuitry. The inherent advantage of casting provides a 30% improvement of cooling over conventional extrusion heatsink designs. DSM (Discrete Surface Mount): In the manufacturing process high speed robotics are used to place 1% tolerance parts and large board traces. DSM improves the efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature. Power and Protection LEDs: Power and Protection LEDs are located on top of the amplifier. The Power LED glows red when the amplifier is turned on. The Protect LED illuminates yellow if a short circuit or too low an impedance is detected at the speaker connections. When any of the protection circuits engage, the amp automatically shuts down until the problem is corrected. Controls Control Panel: The P500X4D has top-mounted controls, covered by a removable panel. There are independent controls for the front and rear channels, and include the following: Internal Crossovers: Each crossover can be set for high-pass, low-pass, or all-pass (full range) operation by a 3-way switch. The cut-off frequency is continuously variable from 50Hz to 500Hz, and has a slope of 12dB per octave. Punch EQ: The Punch EQ can supplement low frequencies to give your music more impact and presence. The Punch EQ becomes active only when the crossover switch is set to low-pass, providing a bass boost of 0-18 dB at 45 Hz. Gain: You can match the output of the connected source unit using the rotary gain control. The gain control can be set between 0 and 11. 2/4 CH Switch: On the front of the amplifier, you can switch the inputs to a 2-channel or 4-channel mode. When using only one pair of inputs, you can feed all 4 output channels by pressing in the 2/4 CH switch. Connections Power Connections: The power and ground terminals are nickel-plated set-screw wire connectors and will accommodate up to 4-gauge wire. An external 60-amp fuse (not included) must be installed on the power wire within 18 inches of the battery. If a wiring kit is used which includes a fuse with a value other than 60-amps, the original should be replaced with a 60-amp fuse. The remote turn-on terminal will accept wire sizes of up to 12 AWG. The supplied 2 mm and 4mm hex keys is required to tighten/loosen the terminals. Differential Input: Differential input circuitry measures the voltage of both the positive (+) and negative (-) portions of the input signal, subtracting the voltage common to both conductors (noise), resulting in a cleaner signal. Reducing the noise on the input then improves the sound quality of the output. Speaker Connections: The 4-channel nickel-plated set-screw wire connectors will accept up to 8-gauge wire. The supplied 2mm hex key is required to tighten/loosen the terminals.

This amp is an example of the evolution of Fosgate amps over the years. Back when I had my first one, the Punch 100, it had only a crossover. This amp has pass thru RCA inputs, gain controls, cross overs & bass boost. I am using it to power some 2 ohn Infinity Kappa seriess speakers, and it's really clean. Pros: Features are great. Sound is there as it's putting out 500 watts into the 2 ohm speakers (4 x 125). Once you get it tuned, it's like the commercial: "Set it & forget it." Cons: Just a bit thick as to where I lost my fold up seat option in the back of the F-150 Super Crew when I mounted it on a board behind the rear seat. 14 out of 15 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Los Angeles has the highest street homeless population in the nation. Every day we see them – men, women and children with no place to call home.
Your contribution goes well beyond your donated time. By knowing who and where homeless people are in Los Angeles County, we are better able to plan and identify resources to provide vital services to the homeless, and ultimately move families and individuals into housing.
We don't have to accept homelessness as an unsolvable problem. With your help we can end homelessness.
They count. The question is: Will you?
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) is the lead agency responsible for completing the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count every two years. The Count helps LAHSA demonstrate our area's need for housing, shelter and service programs to the federal government.

Unique Custom Designed Stained Glass Art
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Photograph by Alan Light
Polar stratospheric clouds or PSCs, also known as nacreous clouds, are clouds in the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes of 15,000–25,000 meters (49,000–82,000 ft). They are implicated in the formation of ozone holes; their effects on ozone depletion arise because they support chemical reactions that produce active chlorine which catalyzes ozone destruction, and also because they remove gaseous nitric acid, perturbing nitrogen and chlorine cycles in a way which increases ozone destruction.

A little history
The first team

The first offices of the National Film Board of Canada, in Ottawa. Photo: F. Tyrell. © NFB
Toward the end of 1942, NFB chairman John Grierson asked Norman McLaren to put together a team of young animators who could craft films using conventional methods. Gradually, the pioneers in the development of Canadian animation began joining the NFB: Evelyn Lambart (1942), Jean-Paul Ladouceur (1942), René Jodoin (1943), Grant Munro (1944) and Robert Verrall (1945).
Two series marked the NFB animation team's first years of production: Chants populaires and Let's All Sing Together. McLaren, who was in charge of the Chants populaires project, made C'est l'aviron (1944), Alouette (co-directed by R. Jodoin, 1944) and Là-haut sur ces montagnes (1945) using whatever resources were available. Alexandre Alexeïeff created En passant (1945) for the same series, using his famous pinscreen technique.
René Jodoin was designated to oversee the Let's All Sing Together series, highlighted by such films as Grant Munro's My Darling Clementine (1945), made with jointed cut-outs.

Comments about Goodhew Socks Circulator Sock (Women's):
The size chart is very accurate. I have poor circulation in my lower legs from knee injuries and need compression socks on all day. As a nurse I am on my feet all day, and these socks give just the right amount of support to stop my leg pain and decrease my fatigue. They have a wonderful amount of cushion on the bottom of the feet and are thick like regular socks, not thin and easily torn like most compression hose. The length is perfect for me, the top of these knee highs is just below my knee cap, so no binding or pinching at the back of the knee! I alos wear the socks comfotably in my boots and they don't fall down at all. Deffinately worth the investment!

Truman Posted September 18, 2012 By Carah Ong Why CSPAN's Brian Lamb Likes Fox and MSNBC – Tell Us Your Thoughts Brian Lamb, Chairman of CSPAN Networks Yesterday, CSPAN Chairman Brian Lamb spoke at the Miller Center's Forum. Since its founding in 1978, CSPAN has made an important contribution to the revolution in communications, which in turn has enormously impacted the way in which people receive information and relate to government. Two things in particular set CSPAN apart from other media outlets. First, unlike public television or radio, it is truly separated from government. Second, unlike cable news shows, CSPAN airs policy and political events (such as the recent conventions), as well as government proceedings without filtered commentary. While CSPAN has been a pioneer in the communications revolution, Lamb noted that Twitter and Facebook are the sources of news for the next generation and the freedom they offer is even more extraordinary. The main take-away from Lamb's talk was his belief in the absolute need to maintain a free market of ideas in the media, whether as individuals we agree with those ideas or not.

The BMC Racing Team's line-up, President/General Manager Jim Ochowicz and BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Max Sciandri answered questions ahead of Sunday's UCI world team time trial championship.
Exciting moment for the team.
The six riders who will line-up for the 57.2-kilometer race against the clock are Steve Cummings, Daniel Oss, Taylor Phinney, Manuel Quinziato, Michael Schär and Tejay van Garderen. For President/General Manager, Jim Ochowicz this is an exciting moment for the team. "The Team Time Trial is a team event during the world championships. This gives us, as as team, an opportunity to showcase our organization. It is exciting for us since we were always very serious about team time trials during races as the Tour de France, the Giro or anywhere else. This is a highlight in our season", Ochowicz said. "Last year we were very close, this year we don't want to be close but we want to stand on the top." Tejay van Garderen, who returns from the squad that came up three seconds short of the winning time by Omega Pharma-Quick Step last year, says staying calm will be the key factor. "It will be all about staying calm, staying calm on the climb and staying calm in the corners. Because when you get too nervous that's the moment when things can go wrong", van Garderen said.
