Looks like I’ll be co-teaching another CLE at Gillette Hospital again this summer. I did something similar a couple summers ago; it’s a way for attorneys to get CLE credits and the hospital gets to attract potential donors. This time, we’re doing a CLE on serving clients with disabilities. I’ll be talking about disability culture, which should be interesting. I doubt most attorneys even realize there is a culture associated with disability. I’ll do a brief overview of concepts like the independent living movement, self-advocacy, and the like.
The Mars Rovers just got another 18 months of operational funding. I’m amazed that they are still going after more than a year of service. It shows that NASA is still capable of some impressive engineering feats.
What would be really great is if NASA could find the means and the funding to keep the Hubble telescope operational. It’s perhaps one of the great scientific instruments of the world, and it would be nice to keep it around.
