White Light Riot consists of Minneapolis natives, brothers Mike and Mark Schwandt, Joe Christenson and Dan Larsen. These incredibly talented musicians craft catchy songs that appeal to fans of both indie rock and Britpop. Though often compared to The Killers, The Strokes or Franz Ferdinand, White Light Riot blend originality with influences of the past. Atomism LP, their first full-length album, was produced/co-engineered by Brent Sigmeth (Grant Hart, They Might Be Giants, Tim O’Reagan, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott), co-engineered by Paul Marino (The New Congress, Desdemona) and mastered by Bob Ludwig. It was released nationally August 21, 2007 by RED Distribution (Sony BMG). It has already been named one of the best releases out of Minneapolis in 2007. The first single, “Out Of Sight,” was the 4 most added single at college radio earlier this summer and is currently charting on all 3 charts at specialty radio nationally.
The foursome have been playing together since 2005 and already have released two EPs, The Dark Is Light Enough, produced by Erik Appelwick (Tapes ‘N Tapes) and Out of Sight EP, produced/co-engineered by Sigmeth. They were named one of the best new bands in Minneapolis in 2006. With sophisticated lyrics, perfected melodies and tight, driving rhythms, their music keeps audiences engaged and attracts new fans with every show.

What I submitted is not what is on the screen. This is a candidate in an election in 16 parishes who obtained more than 60,000 votes. She is also a radio personality in northeast LA.

Ruth L. Ulrich (born ca. 1962) is the Republican candidate for the open District 5 seat on the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education in the November 17, 2007, general election. The district includes sixteen parishes in north and central Louisiana. Ulrich faces Democrat Keith K. Guice for the right to succeed 15-year Democratic incumbent James Stafford. Ulrich is a businesswoman and a producer and sometimes on-air replacement for conservative radio talk show host Moon Griffon (pronounced GRE FONN), who broadcasts statewide from his studio in Monroe, the seat of Ouachita Parish.
Both Ulrich and Guice reside in Monroe. Ulrich led Guice in the October 20 jungle primary, 60,085 (39 percent) to 42,258 (27 percent). Two other Democrats, Walter B. Gatlin and James E. Lee, received 31,585 votes (20 percent) and 22,083 ballots (14 percent), respectively. The three Democratic candidates hence collectively polled 61 percent in the preliminary election.
In addition to Ouachita Parish, District 5 includes the north-central parishes of Caldwell, Catahoula, Concordia, East Carroll, Franklin, Grant, Jackson, La Salle, Lincoln, Madison, Morehouse, Rapides (the home of Gatlin), Richland, West Carroll, and Union. Ulrich received pluralities in nine parishes in the district: Grant, Jackson, La Salle, Lincoln, Morehouse, Ouachita, Rapides, Richland, and Union. Lee led in Concordia and Tensas. Guice led in the other five parishes, Caldwell, Catahoula, East Carroll, Franklin, and West Carroll.
Ulrich indicated that she is particularly interested in addressing discrepancies in the Minimum Foundation Plan, which provides state funding to school districts: ""Rural parishes are suffering because of the inequity of sales tax."
In her website, Ulrich lists the following goals she would seek to accomplish if elected to the board:
Full funding of public schools
Making schools accountable to parents and taxpayers
Increase quality of teachers
Improve the classroom environment
Permit parents to choose the school that best serves their child
Promote reading instruction
Guice, a director of youth programs for the Workforce Investment Board, told reporters that he is committed to bringing common sense to the board: "We'll look at accountability and temper those rules and regulations with reason." He contends that accountability standards have placed undue stress on teachers and students without improving the educational product.
Shortly after the primary, Ulrich and her husband, Marcus B. "Mark" Ulrich (born ca. 1959), were traumatized when a large pine tree struck their Monroe home. The Ulrich family escaped injuries.

:For the lake in Ethiopia, see Lake Langano.
In Isaac Asimov's Robot/Empire/Foundation series of novels, the Langano Sector was an administrative division of the Galactic Empire. Its capital was presumably the planet Langano. The only planet known in the sector is Salvan, which was famous in the Empire for its geckoes. Presumably, geckoes were a rarity in the Empire, since they did not help humanity particularly much, and only those creatures that were useful were brought by humanity into space.
