Howdy folks,<br />
I'm permanently changing my office hours for the rest of the semester. Going forward, my office hours will be<br />
Tues/Thurs from 12:00 Noon to 2:00 PM or by appointment.<br />

Howdy folks,<br />
There are two events that may be of interest to you. For the second event, I have no idea if the bands are any good, but I think the cause is. Perhaps I will see some of you at one/both of these events!<br />
<br />
First, tonight from 5 to 7 at the civil war statue on College Green there will be an "Occupy OU" event. Sounds like some folks are trying to get their voices heard locally.<br />
<br />
Second is the following benefit event at Casa Nueva (this is from the Athens News):<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Books for Prisoners Benefit with Chris Monday, Mike Elliott & Friends, Octopus & Owl, Queen Bee & The Honey Don'ts, and 150 cent. Benefit for Athens Books for Prisoners, a non-profit group that sends books and letters to prison inmates in Ohio. The show is free but financial donations and books are encouraged and welcomed. 10 p.m. Casa Cantina.</span>Professor Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066837329321269851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791741457630186018.post-91131496968917039892011-10-04T18:01:00.001-07:002011-10-04T18:01:51.014-07:00<a href="http://www.ohio.edu/people/wiernik/soc201.class.7.pptx">Abridged slides for Wednesday, October 5th</a>Professor Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02066837329321269851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791741457630186018.post-49471039896418659942011-10-04T16:57:00.001-07:002011-10-04T16:57:14.528-07:00Folks,<br />

I STRONLY suggest you watch this interview with Bill Clinton from this morning on Morning Joe. <br />
This was NOT part of your podcast. You should watch it.<br />

Now, if this link does not bring up the video directly, it might play right here if I did this right...<br />
