Fifty years ago, the image of Huntsville, Alabama changed from that of a regional center for cotton and agriculture, to that of the home of America’s Moon rockets and Apollo Program, and the center of technological leadership in the international race to the Moon. Marshall Space Flight Center has been joined by 300 aerospace companies in Cummings Research Park. Over the last 2 decades, the NASA EPSCOR Program has allowed Alabama’s universities to participate fully in academic research in key areas of aerospace engineering and science that support America’s Space Program. Alabama researchers have competed for and won research awards in astrophysics, novel metal alloys and distributed systems of embedded sensors in rockets. In recent years we have won awards related to aeronautics, for example, awards for novel composites for use in aero-structures and research in lean-burning aircraft engines.

Once again let’s celebrate the North Omaha voting victory from the 2016 Primary. My beloved collectively; leadership, voters, Black Votes Matter, League of Women Voters, IMA, Activate85 and others, for the first time in over 20 years, we voted our own interest. Never in recent history has North Omaha voted at the same percentage as did the entire Douglas county voters. That’s significant and that’s victory for all. Take the victory, talk to your circles about it and let’s get ready to make a difference and break records in the General Election. Turnout for Douglas County was 21% for the primary, turn out for North Omaha was 22%. Be proud. Let’s Keep the Victory! How important is the General Election (November 8)? We will elect the President of the United States (Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump). Federal policy on so many issues affects us directly. Don’t put your head in the sand and ignore federal policy that hurts our lives. Vote in your own self-interest. We will elect a congressman from our Congressional District as well.

  • Presentation Center Team Director: Alistair Taylor ROADMAP
    Freshmen elected in 2016 New governors and members of the House and Senate February 23, 2017 Producer: Presentation Center Team Director: Alistair Taylor ROADMAP Roadmap Freshmen governors (7) Freshmen senators (7) Freshmen representatives (58) JOHN CARNEY Gov. John Carney Biography John Carney was born in 1956 in Wilmington, DE. Carney, elected to succeed nine-term Republican Rep. Michael Castle in 2010, is a centrist Democrat with an unusual devotion to bipartisanship. Not long after taking office, he co-founded a policy group of Democrats and Republicans to discuss finding common ground, which has gotten some results. Carney has lived in Wilmington for most of his life, and spent nearly his entire adult life in public office, except for brief stints as president and chief operating officer of Transformative Technologies, a Delaware green technology firm, and as executive vice president of a wind farm start-up called DelaWind. After getting a degree in English at Dartmouth College and a master’s degree in public administration at the University of Delaware, Carney went to work as an aide to Joe Biden, then a senator. Carney was also the state secretary of finance under Carper from 1997 to 2000. In 2000, he won the first of two terms as Delaware’s lieutenant governor. Carney later ran for the at-large seat in the House and prevailed with 57% of the vote, a rare instance of a Democrat seizing Republican territory in the GOP-friendly year of 2010. Carney was assigned to the Financial Services Committee and struck up a friendship with fellow freshman James Renacci, a Republican from Ohio.

  • [LB34 LB403 LR9] the Committee on Judiciary
    Transcript Prepared By the Clerk of the Legislature Transcriber's Office Judiciary Committee February 18, 2009 [LB34 LB403 LR9] The Committee on Judiciary met at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 18, 2009, in Room 1113 of the State Capitol, Lincoln, Nebraska, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing on LB34, LB403, and LR9. Senators present: Brad Ashford, Chairperson; Steve Lathrop, Vice Chairperson; Mark Christensen; Colby Coash; Brenda Council; Scott Lautenbaugh; Amanda McGill; and Kent Rogert. Senators absent: None. SENATOR ASHFORD: Start to wind down just a little and get going here, please. We're going to just get started a little early with some preliminary information about the hearing. My name is Brad Ashford. I represent Legislative District 20, and we have two bills today and one resolution. There is an overflow room. I assume many of you are aware of that. One of the first things is when we have the testimony, when anyone comes up and talks, we'd ask that you go to the overflow room and let the people in the overflow room come here, just so we have a flow of people and people get an opportunity. This is the Ernie Chambers Judiciary Hearing Room. It is one of the smaller and older hearing rooms, so we don't have a lot of room, as you can tell, but we will try to flow people through as best we can. Senator Amanda McGill is here to my right and I'm certain the other members will be coming in. I know Senator Lathrop is going to be a little late because he has a bill to introduce.
