In 2002, 41 percent of freshmen were in the top 10 percent of their high school class. Freshman SAT scores were at an all-time high, and minority enrollment was up. Pitt’s expansion of cultural opportunities, efficient student services, and construction of the Petersen Events Center was recognized for improving the quality of student life. - Tobacco -- Campaign
Butte County 5/15: Tobacco education and health care advocates don't want tobacco settlement money dropped into Butte County's general fund. With its siren shrieking and lights flashing, an Oroville Hospital ambulance pulled up in front of the Butte County Administration Office Tuesday morning to deliver petitions to qualify a measure for the November ballot to allocate money for tobacco use prevention and health care. Organizers of the FAIR (Full Allocation of Intended Revenues) campaign, which includes the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, American Heart Association, Butte Glenn Medical Society, and others, say they have almost 12,000 signatures, more than enough to qualify their plan for the November 2002 ballot. To dramatize the emergency nature of the issue, the signatures were pulled from the ambulance and transported by gurney to the county-clerk recorder's elections office. "People are dying because of tobacco, and many are dying because of the deceptive and illegal practices of the tobacco industry," said Dr. Richard N. Gray, Jr., representing Butte-Glenn Medical Society. "The petitions are delivered in an emergency vehicle because we have an emergency." - Microsoft Office 2000 -- Users
With Office 2000, Microsoft has created a new kind of Access database project that uses SQL Server as the data store rather than a Microsoft Jet .mdb file. This new format, called an .adp file... uses OLE DB rather than Jet to connect to SQL Server, so it's optimized for query speed. The .adp file is a binary file that contains the connection information plus all form, report, macro, and module definitions. You can still create .mdb files for single-user or small workgroup solutions if you want, but for large-scale database projects, the .adp file format is preferable. - George Bush -- Campaigns
Late in 1988, Bush heard that the Texas Rangers, a struggling professional baseball club, was up for sale. He put together a group of 70 investors who contributed $14 million to buy the team at a bargain price. Bush's own investment of $606,000 - part of his booty from the Harken stock sale - was the smallest of any investor. But Bush became the driving force and public face of the new ownership group. During the next five years, he was managing general partner of the franchise. He organized a successful campaign to get voters to approve a sales tax for a new publicly funded stadium paid with $135 million in bonds. - Peace -- Global Campaign
The Peace Studies discipline seeks to provide the intellectual structure for nonviolent approaches to personal, national, and global conflicts. Direct violence emerges from structural, cultural, and personal patterns that support it. Thus, sustainable peace requires more than the ending of direct violence, but ... the building of cooperative structures, creative cultures, and conflict resolution capacities in human relationships. - Rudy Giuliani -- Campaign
Rudy Giuliani supports "responsible" restrictions on abortion such as parental notification with a judicial bypass and a ban on partial birth abortion – except when the life of the mother is at stake. He holds that he and his fellow Republicans can "respectfully disagree" on this issue.[Citation Needed] However, In 1997 Giuliani said that then - President Bill Clinton made the right decision when he vetoed a ban on partial birth abortion. During his 2000 Senate campaign he said that he would "vote to preserve the option for women.” Giuliani has ... given six contributions to Planned Parenthood in the 1990s. The payments, totaling $900, were made in 1993, 1994, 1998 and 1999. Planned Parenthood is one of the top abortion advocates and abortion providers in the United States. - George W. Bush -- Campaigns
When asked about his service, Bush has lied, changed his story repeatedly, and weaseled in a manner eerily reminiscent of Bill Clinton. First of all, he has flat-out lied. In his official autobiography, ''A Charge to Keep,'' Bush said he flew with his unit for ''several years'' after finishing flight training in June 1970. His campaign biography states that he flew with the unit until he won release from the service in September 1973, nine months early, for graduate school. Both statements are lies. Bush only flew with the 111th for one year and 10 months, until April 1972 when he was suspended for failing to take his medical exam (and drug test), and never flew again. - Campaign Finance Reform -- Candidates
Many current reform bills contain similar proposals and all of them cover a broad range of campaign finance issues. The Bipartisan Clean Congress Act, for example, "would eliminate PACs, limit individual contributions, give candidates free air time, restrict out-of-state contributions, and bar expenditure of soft money on federal elections" (Editorial, 1996). - Campaign Finance Reform -- John Mccain
The modern era of campaign finance reform has an equally partisan origin. From the mid-1960s on, opinion polls showed steady erosion in public support for big government and liberalism. Republicans made substantial congressional gains in 1966, and two years later Richard Nixon won the presidency. By 1970, Democrats feared—with good reason—that their longstanding electoral majority was in jeopardy. There were three ways that they might turn things around, observes Cato Institute election-law expert John Samples: persuading the public to embrace their big-government philosophy, changing that increasingly unpopular philosophy, or “preventing or at least hobbling the translation of the shifting public mood into electoral losses and policy changes.” - George H. W. Bush -- Campaign
The Clinton’s were in the process of entering this elite group, to which the Bush family ... belongs. For that, Hillary would have required the noble blow of Ted Kennedy, brother of the legendary John F. Kennedy and Senator of Massachusetts. At the very least, she would have needed him to keep out of the primaries. But things have turned out differently. When the election campaign turned uglier and certain remarks were made that could have been interpreted as racist, Kennedy seemed to increasingly side with Obama. Read the rest of this entry »
