Question by The emperor has no clothes: When will Sen. Reid start those Senate hearings into the financial crisis that precipitated this recession?
Over a year ago, Sen. Reid promised to hold hearings into the factors responsible for the current economic recession. He even set the date, November 20, 2008. Well, here it is, one year later and still no hearings. You would have thought that given the scope, depth and devastation that this recession has caused that the senate would take the time out of the busy schedule to get to the bottom of it so that we can possibly avoid something like this in the future.
Why didn’t he hold this hearing and is he still planning on having one?

Question by Done with YA.: What kind of GPA will I need in order to get into Georgetown or George Washington University?
I am a White Male incoming freshman from Illinois.
ALSO what kind of extra curricular will I need, I go to a school of 4500, its hard to make sports, I’ll be in theatre. I’m a Boy Scout.
Best answer:
Answer by MomSezNo The college guidebooks in your library, high school counseling office or bookstore will give the average GPAs for accepted students.
If it’s difficult to get into extra-curriculars at your school, look for volunteer opportunities in the community. If you have a Red Cross office, they probably have a volunteer center, or you can check with the hospital, food pantry, etc. If your city has a website, there may be a link to volunteer opportunities in the community.
You might also look into doing some college courses for high school students, etc at any colleges in your area. Some of these have courses that are meant to be a hands-on introduction to careers or may be actual courses for credit. Anything like that, done well, would look good. You might do a search for “summer college programs for high school students” or some such. I think the Johns Hopkins website has info about such programs on their “CTY” link [Center for Talented Youth].

We all know the Roku is great from streaming our favorite TV shows and movies, but few people know that it also makes a great internet radio. With the addition of just a few channels from the Roku channel store, you can stream literally thousands of radio stations from around the world on your TV or your audio system. I have my Roku plugged into my surround sound system and the audio quality is superb! Here are our favorite Roku channels that let you tune in the world.
Tune-In This channel comes from RadioTime.com, a website that provides links to thousands of radio stations around the world streaming on the internet. If it’s streaming on the net, Radio Time has it!
Shoutcast This popular streaming audio website now has a Roku channel! You’ll never know what you’ll find here. Unlike Tune-In which limits itself to real terrestrial radio stations, Shoutcast gives anyone with a computer and microphone the ability to broadcast anything they want over the internet. Thus, you’ll find some gems, along with some real stinkers on this channel. But, that’s what makes it fun!

Radio Paradise A fairly new channel on the Roku scene, Radio Paradise is a single station that prides itself on “music being picked by a real human being”. It’s a single station with an eclectic selection of music, plus as an added bonus, beautiful HD scenery photos are displayed on your TV while the music is playing. As I’m writing this article, RP is playing Sara Swenson’s “Passing Cars, Passing Time”. As the song is playing, HD photos of various classic cars are being displayed on my HDTV. Pretty cool! I’ve only been listening to the channel for a few days as of this writing. So far, I’m very impressed!
Baeble Music Another fairly new channel is the Baeble Music Channel. Baeble features thousands of concerts, music videos and interviews of indie artists from around the world. Video quality is excellent! If you’re an indie music fan, this channel is for you.
Pandora This channel based on the popular website doesn’t necessarily stream terrestrial radio stations from around the world. Instead you choose a music format, song title or artist that you want to hear. If that song is available on Pandora, you will hear not only the song, but Pandora’s recommendation on what it thinks you may like based on your previous choices. You can setup different channels with different music genres, artists, etc.
Most Roku users who purchased their device never intended it to be a jukebox. However, if you add these channels to your lineup, I believe you’ll be very impressed at what a versatile little box you have. It can do anything…well almost!

Answer by js adams : blk w/ bear From the 9:30 website:
Q: How old do you have to be to attend shows at 9:30?
A: Unless otherwise posted our club is All-Ages, All The Time.
Q: My child wants to attend an all-ages show at 9:30, but I feel nervous?
A: We’ve been doing all-ages shows for many years, but the decision to let your son or daughter come to a show here is obviously up to you as a parent. We suggest attending a show with your child so you can get a first-hand experience of how we run the club and treat our patrons. We’re confident that once you’ve been here you’ll feel comfortable about allowing your child to come to 9:30 shows.
Q: Do I need ID to enter the venue?
A: An ID is only required if you plan on drinking alcohol. Because we are an all-ages venue we take checking ID’s very seriously. In compliance with DC laws anyone 21 and older who plans on drinking alcohol will have to show a valid, non-expired, government issued photo ID, no matter how old you think you may look. Anyone without proper ID, regardless of age, will be treated as under 21 and not allowed to buy, hold or drink alcohol. This policy is strictly enforced and any violation will result in immediate ejection from the venue.
