With school work, home work, community work, and/or whatever, students do not have the time to read a newspaper, watch television or listen to the radio. All in all, we remain closed up in our little environment called State, unwary of what goes on around us. But if you don't have even the smallest amount of time to listen to the radio, you must stop and ask yourself, what’s going on? Recently, several bills have been brought forward and have been pass- ed. The one that comes to mind first is the legal drinking age. It is currently 19. Many students, being closed off, will not know about this and will in- evitably be caught, especially freshmen. ‘ Speaking of freshmen, how many of you know that Sunday was the first day of freshmen orientation? We’ll continue with that a little later. Under this new law, which goes into effect sometime in October, if you get caught driving under the influence or caught driving while consuming alcohol before you reach the age of 19, you will automatically lose your license until you turn 19.

  • XIII. Supplemental Information (PDF)
    Annual Budget Process The City of Durham’s annual budget process is the framework for communicating major financial operational objectives and for allocating resources to achieve them. This process is a complex undertaking involving the whole government. The process begins in October and runs until the end of June. By state law, the City must adopt an annual budget ordinance by June 30 of each year. Coordination of the process is essential to the building of the budget. To achieve coordination, a calendar of activities is summarized on this page. Once the budget is approved, the focus of the budget becomes control. Ongoing monitoring of expenditures and revenues throughout the year is a responsibility shared by department heads and the Budget Department. The Accounting Services Division ensures that changes are correctly entered and payments are appropriate. The Budget and Management Services Department reviews all requests from departments to make sure that sufficient appropriations have been budgeted. All funds are reviewed on a regular basis, and a budget report is submitted to the City Council on a quarterly basis. The City Manager has the authority to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within any function. However, transfers between functions, additions or deletions require a budget amendment. To amend the budget, a revised budget ordinance must be approved by the City Council. January February March Department budgets submitted Coffees with Council continue. Budget kick-off.

  • NRBQ Derbytown
    NRBQ Derbytown 2004 saw the release of {$NRBQ}'s 1989 Montreal concert on the excellent {^One In A Million} DVD and 2006 brought this release of a 1982 show from Louisville, Kentucky entitled {^Derbytown}. As with the previous disc this one is chock full of great stuff from a group that is perpetual and indestructably inevitable. Credited as {$NRBQ} with {$The Whole Wheat Horns}, a duo who were touring with the band at this point in time, the version of the group here includes {$Joey Spampinato} on vocals and bass, the great {$Al Anderson} singing and playing guitar, {$Terry Adams} on vocals, piano and clarinet and {$Tom Ardolino} on drums. {$Spampinato}'s pretty and effective {&"I Love Her, She Loves Me"} is wonderfully sixties with Adams pulling out a tiny keyboard for something that sounds like it came off a {$Vanity Fair} recording. It's followed by a driving {&"What's The Plot"} with {$Al Anderson} singing like he's auditioning for {$Bachman Turner Overdrive}. That's a compliment. There are thirteen tracks on this forty-three minute concert along with one page of liner notes from {$Johnny D} and three cool "bonus" selections that are brief but very fun. The first of the bonuses is a mere seventeen second a cappella entry {&"Program Them Computers"} (process the data) with the gents wearing bags on their heads a la chef's hats and singing those six words. That's followed by a 42 second {&"Atsa My Boys"} promo film with those participating wearing the same attire and flinging pizza dough to harmonica accompaniment.

  • The Bosstown Sound. PUB DATE Mar 88 NOTE 39P.; Paper Presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Culture Association (10Th, New Orleans, LA, March 23-26, 1988)
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 292 153 CS 506 070 AUTHOR Burns, Gary TITLE The Bosstown Sound. PUB DATE Mar 88 NOTE 39p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Culture Association (10th, New Orleans, LA, March 23-26, 1988). PUB TYPE Viewpoints (120) -- Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Bands (Music); Content Analysis; Discographies; *Music; Musicians; *Popular Culture IDENTIFIERS Media History; Music Ensembles; *Rock and Roll; *Rock Music ABSTRACT Based on the argument that (contrary to critical opinion) the musicians in the various bands associated with Bosstown Sound were indeed talented, cohesive individuals and that the bands' lack of renown was partially a result of ill-treatment by record companies and the press, this paper traces the development of the Bosstown Sound from its beginnings in the nightclubs of Boston in 1967 to its end in 1969. In addition, the paper provides complete discographies, including critical commentary, of records produced by bands associated with the Bosstown Sound. The bands of the Bosstown Sound include: The Apple Pie Motherhood Band, The Bagatelle, The Beacon Street Union, Bo Grumpus, Eagle, Earth Opera, Eden's Children, Sure Looks Real, The Ill Wind, Jolliver Arkansaw, Orpheus, Phluph, Puff, and Ultimate Spinach.
