In terms of broadband overpowerline, there are still only a fewconsumer trials now taking place,leaving room for doubt as to whetherthis technology will ever thrive. As forwireless broadband, there are lots ofdifferent promising wirelesstechnologies, ranging from satellite tomobile wireless to fixed wirelessconnections, but like the case ofbroadband over powerline, very fewconsumers have yet adopted suchtechnologies.

Once we serve all of the food, wedo a clean up of the immediate area. Totaltime for the distribution takes about one

hour and we usually return to Martha’sTable by or before 6:30 pm.

Andre Turner attended Spingarn SeniorHigh School and graduated from AlabamaA&M University on May 14, 2005 inNormal, Alabama with a Bachelor ofScience degree in Engineering.

This past spring, Andre was involved in aproject called “NASA’s Great MoonbuggyRace” held at the U.S. Space and RocketCenter in Huntsville, AL. Andredescribed the project in his own words,“In our first year we finished in about25th place, so for our second year we setthe goal of finishing in the top ten. Weredesigned our moonbuggy with themajor improvement being the shaft driveversus conventional chain drive. Beingthe first to use the shaft drive we escaped

all the normal chain popping problemsexperienced by other team and came inninth place. As a second year driver onthe moonbuggy, I personally aspired to dobetter than top ten but we had torqueproblems and consequently could not getenough power from the high geared shaftdrive. Next year the moonbuggy teamaspires to win. Here’s the link NASA’sofficial moonbuggy sitehttp://moonbuggy.msfc.nasa.gov/ .”

Andre plans on attending the Universityof Alabama in Huntsville to begingraduate studies in Mechanical/AerospaceEngineering. His desire is to obtain aPh.D. and then begin a lifelong career inresearch and teaching.

Volunteer for Free Legal Clinic on August 13The FCBA organizes volunteers to spend three hours once a quarter helpinglower income indviduals through a clinic sponsored by the DC Bar. Our nextFCBA volunteer date for the Walk In legal clinic is Saturday, August 13. Wehave moved to a new location. At the new location, we co-volunteer with theFederal Communications Commission and other members of the private bar.Attorneys receive a half-hour overview/orientation beginning at 9:30 am overbagels and juice. Volunteers are expected to assist clients only during the timethey are at the clinic.

The new location is the Max Robinson Clinic, which is located at 2301 MartinLuther King, Jr. Avenue, S.E., Washington, DC 20020. The clinic has the samesponsor and in the same format, but we will be at a different location to help theDC Bar better allocate volunteers.

It is a great opportunity to spend a few hours and get so much more in return.Clients are appreciative and you can actually learn some practical advice andtalk to clients who are every day people. As always, encourage your colleaguesto help out.

You must either be a member of the DC Bar, have an application pending to theDC bar, or be an employee of the federal government to provide advice. Thosewho are not DC bar members, paralegals and law students are needed, however,to provide intake and triage. Law students can have the opportunity to sit in onadvice sessions. Dress is casual, but respectful. Bring a pen.

Contact Cheryl Leanza at leanza@nlc.org for more information, to RSVP, and fordirections to the new location.
