Mark Durand, psychology profes­ sor "and dean of the college of arts and sciences, is the first on campus to use Microsoft Windows' Creative Zen Portable Media Center. The hand-held device, rel~ased in September 2004, is much like an iPod with video. Most students currently take Durand's Autism I course on CD­ ROM and access it on the computer or laptop. Only one student in the class is using the new technology. Stacey Solar, a 38-year-old moth­ er of three, said that the Portable Media Center is easy to use and more convenient than a traditional computer or a laptop. She said that the portable center helps her hectic 1- life.

  • Social Security Policy Briefing
    Social Security Policy Briefing Social Security Policy Briefing Amanda Nichols, Spencer Hoffman, Eliza Wicks-Arshack and Tess Boeker February 10, 2009 Political Sociology: Wade Roberts Introduction Social Security in the United States has expanded since its creation in 1935 and has been very resilient to large scale change. However, this is not to say that there have not been small layers added to the program. The pooled public social security system is now supplemented with private programs that have softened the social arena for privatization. Since people have opted to further prepare for retirement by creating private retirement accounts like 401(k) s, they begin to have more of a vested interest in the wellbeing of the market. At the same time, the American people are faced with more insecurity than ever before1 as, Social Security is faced with a looming financial crisis. Conservatives attribute this pressing problem to the design of the program and Progressives attribute it to a demographic problem. The conservative policy stream is rich with plans to privatize social security to solve the Social Security Trust Fund problem. Progressive interests lie in fighting inequality and ensuring a secure retirement plan for all individuals. To fight privatization, the progressives must boost the Trust Fund by raising taxes, changing payroll caps, cutting benefits or ensuring equal access to private pensions for all individuals. Obama has introduced a social security plan that will not cut taxes or raise the retirement age, but will encourage diverse retirement plans while protecting the middle class. Error! Bookmark not defined. Historical Context Social Security was created by the FDR administration in 1935 to protect the retired population that was suffering from poverty.

  • Keller Williams
    Keller Williams Keller Williams released his first album in 1994, FREEK, and has since given each of his albums a single syllable title: BUZZ, SPUN, BREATHE, LOOP, LAUGH, HOME, DANCE, STAGE, GRASS, DREAM, TWELVE, LIVE, ODD, THIEF, KIDS, BASS, PICK, FUNK, VAPE, SYNC, RAW, SANS and Add, those who have followed his career will know this. Each title serves as a concise summation of the concept guiding each project. GRASS, for example, is a bluegrass recording cut with the husband-wife duo The Keels. STAGE is a live album, and DREAM is the realization of Keller’s wish to collaborate with some of his musical heroes. THIEF is a set of unexpected cover songs, KIDS offers Keller’s first children’s record, PICK presents Keller’s collaboration with royal bluegrass family The Travelin’ McCoury’s, and RAW is a solo acoustic album. Each album showcases Keller’s comprehensive and diverse musical endeavors and functions to provide another piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is Keller Williams. Keller’s collaborative and solo albums reflect his pursuit to create music that sounds like nothing else. Unbeholden to conventionalism, he seamlessly crosses genre boundaries. The end product is astounding and novel music that encompasses rock, jazz, funk and bluegrass, and always keeps the audience on their feet. Since he first appeared on the scene in the early ’90s, Williams has defined the term independent artist. And his recordings tell only half the story. Keller built his reputation initially on his engaging live performances, no two of which are ever alike. For most of his career he has performed solo.

  • Gardens: the September Checklist

Perfect planting: The heat sump in the soil and the combination of dew and rain are great for perfect root growth. This helps establish plants and prepare them for winter. Containerised plants that go into the ground dry can be difficult to wet once they are planted, so soak them in a bucket of water until they stop bubbling. Water well around the roots so that they jump out of their root ball and make good contact with their surroundings. Top growth still feeds the plants for a couple more months, so trim only to neaten. Doing the splits: Towards the end of the month the first of the autumn splits can be made. Reduce the foliage of hellebores by half, removing the oldest and most damaged leaves. Then, once lifted, take a sharp knife to the root ball to split it in half or into quarters if it is large enough. Peonies should have all top growth removed and be carefully prized apart with two forks held back to back. Always incorporate compost into the planting hole. Best for bulbs: Although tulips should not be planted until November to diminish the risk of Ask about my tulip fire, the majority of spring bulbs benefit from early planting.

  • This Is a Great Band, and I Had a Great Time” Bob Weir, Grateful Dead Founding Member (Guitar/Vocalist)
    “This is a great band, and I had a great time” Bob Weir, Grateful Dead founding member (guitar/vocalist) “Inspired and accomplished musical discourse at such a deep and serious level: I had no problem at all believing that this was what the Grateful Dead sounded like 40 years ago.” David Gans, Grateful Dead Hour “I've always been impressed by DSO, but the other night I thought they'd taken it to a new level. It was some of the best Grateful Dead music I've heard in the past 20 years, and that covers some ground. Somehow, Jeff Mattson manages to play Jerry's parts perfectly in the spirit, but without any sense of being imitative. And boy, does the band pick up on this energy. Big fun!” Dennis McNally, Grateful Dead publicist & biographer 1980 – 1995; Author “A Long Strange Trip: The History of the Grateful Dead” “As one who is classically trained, I actually always thought that DSO was very cool, treating Grateful Dead music as repertoire- much as I've tried to do in my various bands.” Phil Lesh, Grateful Dead founding member (bass/vocals) “Playing with Dark Star Orchestra is something that feels just exactly like it felt when I was playing with the Grateful Dead.” Donna Jean Godchaux, Grateful Dead vocalist, frequent DSO guest “There are moments where I can close my eyes and go back 30 years and have it be every bit as rewarding and satisfying. Dark Star is an amazingly legitimate representation of the Dead.” Dan Healy, Grateful Dead sound engineer 1966 -1994 “Thank you for a real good time.” Jon Fishman, Phish drummer after sitting in with DSO “The Dark Star Orchestra re-creates Grateful Dead shows with a flashback-inducing meticulousness.” The New Yorker “...recreates the Dead concert experience with uncanny verisimilitude.
