A new study published by the American Journal of Public Health found that nearly 45,000 annual deaths are associated with lack of health insurance.
Health insurance should be a right not a privilege. So why is the Public Option running into such opposition, even among some Democrats? Remember the names of those who vote against reform and hold them responsible at the next election.
One artist that keeps coming up on my Pandora John Prine station is Chip Taylor. Really good songs, here are a few:
Tell your Senators to pass a reconciliation bill that will make it easier for the neediest students and their families to afford college, provide direct investment in community college programs and infrastructure, and support early childhood education and school construction and renovation programs.
Also urge your Senators to include strong language relating to academic staffing. A growing body of research shows the correlation between the declining investment in faculty and the increasing problems with student persistence, transfer and completion.

Recently we discovered that while using Internet Explorer 8 to access Outlook Web Access it was no longer easy to save a Word .docx file that is attached to an email. The problem is that by default instead of saving as a .docx file it saves as a .zip file. This was causing a lot of confusion and we needed to apply a fix quickly.
Since the only results I found when searching for a solution to this problem were server based I figured I’d post the client solution in case someone else is running into this issue.
To resolve this issue, place the URL for your OWA into Internet Explorer’s Trusted Sites list. Then when you attempt to save a .docx file from an email attachment it will save as .docx instead of .zip.
A simple client-side solution, easily pushed down through group policy or configured manually.
