And she said she'd work to make the agreement more enforceable. Permalink | Comments (5) | Post your comment | 4 million Ohio voters expected to cast ballots By Laura Bischoff | Friday, February 29, 2008, 12:52 PM Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner made lots of changes to prepare for the March 4 primary but one practice she has yet to vanquish is "sleep-overs" where poll workers in some counties are allowed to pick up voting machines on Friday and keep them until election day. In recent years, a poll worker in Licking County had a machine at home, figured he wouldn't have time to vote on election day, so he opened the machine and voted, she said. He got caught. Brunner's office has instituted a strict chain of custody procedure for all voting machines, which are now sealed with tape with serial numbers.
Film fest brings Hollywood flare to Belcher Center
A longtime campus event at LeTourneau University opens to the community Feb. 29 when an amateur Film Festival moves to the S.E. Belcher Jr. Chapel and Performance Center. The event pits short movies shot by students, and this year by residents, against each other in an awards show format. Several films will be shown. "We're doing the whole red carpet thing," student coordinator James Christopherson said. "So, if people want to dress up for it, that would be neat. "We had several very, very good films this year that, on their own, are worth coming out to see. This has always been just a smaller campus activity. This year we get to open it up (to the community). We're really excited about it." Christopherson said about 15 amateurs submitted short film entries this year, ranging from five to 15 minutes long.
Smaller, Thinner, Lighter, Cooler Notebooks
Alienware's Area-51 m9750 offers a 64 GB SSD in addition to a 320 GB hard drive. There are a few gotchas with this option. Since these devices are new, they may possess a few more flaws than hard disk drives. Also at the moment, this option is expensive, adding a few hundred dollars to a notebook's list price. Pricing is expected to drop as the number of laptops with this feature rises. In addition to being more powerful, the portable devices are following the lead of cell phone vendors and becoming fashion statements. As the year closed, Micro-Star International announced its PR200 YA Edition line, which is available in Denim Blue, Coral Pink and Wasabi Green. Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) is another vendor selling notebooks -- including its 15.4-Inch Inspiron notebooks -- in multiple bright hues.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- LRSSports, a product line of Springfield-based Levi, Ray & Shoup, Inc. (LRS), has teamed with 3D technology powerhouse 3D MVP to revolutionize the football coaching industry.

This helps a coaching staff better prepare their team by enabling them to show their players in 3D the exact formations, routes, fronts and coverages they will see on the field.
