Bringing the overseas youth vote home
After reading about the large turnout of young voters in the primaries and caucuses in the U.S. this spring, I find it very exciting that young U.S. voters abroad are similarly engaged. Let's keep this momentum going until November at home and abroad!

FedEx, voter group hope to ease ballot shipping woes
Geting our ballots back in time to be counted is a major concern of US voters overseas especially when we receive our ballots just two days before the election! Although this new initiative by OVF and FedExExpress won't be able to help us if our ballot arrives the day of the election or later :-( -- which unfortunately does happen sometimes -- it will surely be a help to many of us to return our ballots back in time to be counted this November. For sure, it's a step in the right direction.

Slaying By University of Washington Student
A University of Washington Student, Amanda Knox, is caught up in a whirlwind of media frenzy and intense police investigation reguarding the brutal murder of her English roommate. The two were rooming together during a study abroad program in Perugia, Italy when Meredith Kercher, citizen of Great Britain, was found dead from an apparent attempt to fight off a sexual assult. Friends and family of Knox say that the accusations are a far cry from the kind and studious young woman they all know; however as more evidence is uncovered it appears as though kind Amanda may be anything but.

Nate on Jesus Lane: a one year video log (intro)
Hello, my name is Nate and this is my video log.
For the next year my path has taken a bit of a detour and left me living in the United Kingdom, a strange land where I don't know anybody and where I don't know what I'm going to do next with my life. During the next year I'm going to make some video logs and put them up here on Current. I'll probably try to make a laugh from time to time, because that is my way. I'll do my best to be genuine and I'll to minimize the self indulgent, uninteresting bits. But who knows.
This is my first video log. I don't really know what I'm doing with my life or what I want to do with my life for that matter, so I guess that's what this is all about.
I have comedy and vids and other stuff up at http://natedern.com
Much love.
