Web site shows college students where their votes count the most
As Election Day quickly approaches, some out-of-state college students may want to know where to cast their votes for the presidential race where it would count the most. This may be in the states where they attend school or in their home states.
Countmore.org might not necessarily make this choice any easier, but it certainly helps a voter think a little clearer.

Happy Mental Health Day
Did you know today is White Cane Safety Day? It is a day to celebrate the white cane used by Americans who are visually impaired.
Don’t worry, I didn’t know it was a holiday either.
There are holidays like this scattered throughout the year. Congress has passed hundreds of them since 2001, or–another way to look at it–since President Bush has been in office. Surprise.

Fight for Phelps
Despite today’s uncertain economic times, Olympic champion Michael Phelps does not need to worry.
Precious metals are considered a more secure investment then the increasingly risky stock market, and the swimmer has no shortage. Phelps may be the proud owner of enough gold to fetch tens of thousands of dollars if he were to melt his 14 gold medals and sell them for their valued weight, but his record-setting performance at the Beijing Olympic games is sure to earn Phelps a fortune unseen by any other Olympic athlete.
In Beijing, Phelps turned in one of the most dominating performances not just in Olympic history but in sports’ history as well. The 23-year-old won gold medals in all eight of his events and set seven world and eight Olympic records on the way.

Travis Mateer, the event’s organizer, said the hip-hop group iNHUMANS and local rock band Rooster Sauce will open the show, which is a part of the Poverello Center’s Rock Raiser Series.
“This event was actually a previously scheduled [Bandlander] show, but all three bands agreed to make it a benefit,” Mateer said.

Students get hands-on experience in Swan Valley classroom
Eleven university students from around the country are making a classroom out of Swan Valley this semester as part of the two-month-long Landscape and Livelihood program, administered by Northwest Connections and accredited by the University of Montana.
“We try to make it a pretty holistic experience,” said Mo Hartmann, program director for Northwest Connections.
She said the semester goal was to immerse young conservation leaders in a dynamic community that would help them become good environmental problem solvers.
