"We have spoken with companies and individuals to determine their interest in purchasing the pharmacy and contracting with the university," Hallam said. "There was interest but nothing concrete."

Rhode Island, the smallest state, and Texas both have just two members in the Senate. Equality is reached, and levying for certain views is determined by group decisions.

Barack Obama is one of the more promising presidential candidates to come along in the last few years.He's easy on the eyes, speaks well and claims to be a moderate. He sounds like a shoo-in. However, it's likely there's more hype than substance to this presidential hopeful.

Obama's voting record is very short and, from what we have seen, has been extremely liberal. An independent, liberal, political organization, Americans for Democratic Action, gives Obama a 95 percent liberal rating, which matches Sens. Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.
