Sean Parker and Shawn Fanning Hint At The Future Of Airtime [TCTV]

As of today's launch Airtime is a one-on-one video chat network, but what about tomorrow? Co-founders Sean Parker and Shawn Fanning tell us "it'd be pretty cool" if Airtime became an app platform. The former Napster founders wouldn't rule out the possibility of photo-sharing on Airtime either. During the star-studded launch party we also got the stunning Olivia Munn, former host of Attack Of The Show, talking about whether Airtime's just for geeks, or if your grandma's going to get onboard.

Farnsworth New Dean of University of Texas School of Law

Today marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another for Ward Farnsworth. Tomorrow, he will become the new dean of the School of Law at the University of Texas at Austin, bringing to a close his 15-year career at BU?s School of Law, where he taught and served as the associate dean for academic affairs.

?It was a very hard decision,? says Farnsworth, a LAW professor and Nancy E. Barton Scholar. ?I spent a lot of time trying to figure out whether the opportunity was valuable enough to be worth leaving the school that I have such good feelings for and this region too. But sometimes opportunity knocks when you don?t expect it, and off you go.?

Farnsworth joined the LAW faculty in 1997 and taught civil procedure, torts, contracts, and rhetoric. He has received many awards over the years, including the University-wide United Methodist Church Scholar/Teacher of the Year Award in 2009. An author and researcher, he has published in multiple legal journals, coauthored Torts: Cases and Questions, and written The Legal Analyst: A Toolkit for Thinking about the Law, Farnsworth?s Classical English Rhetoric, and two online volumes on chess. Three years ago he was named the school?s associate dean.

?Since joining the BU law faculty in 1997, Ward Farnsworth has been a dedicated teacher, scholar, and administrator for our law school,? says Maureen O?Rourke, dean of LAW. ?His students have benefited from his wisdom and guidance, and his faculty colleagues have enjoyed both his tremendous legal intellect and his quick wit.

?As the dean, I?ve been grateful for Ward?s insightful advice and unwavering commitment to our students,? O?Rourke adds. ?While we are saddened by Ward?s departure, we are honored that he continues BU Law?s long tradition of producing leaders in legal education.?

Farnsworth says he?s known that he wanted to teach since his early days as a law student at the University of Chicago. But professorships are hard to come by for inexperienced law graduates, so he began amassing an impressive legal r?sum?, first by clerking for Richard A. Posner, chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and then for Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy. (A bobblehead replica of Kennedy stood on his office bookshelf.) Farnsworth later served as a legal advisor to the Iran?United States Claims Tribunal in The Hague. Only then did he land his first teaching position?as an associate professor at BU.

?I felt very fortunate to have the chance to come get started here at a school that has a great culture of both scholarship and teaching,? Farnsworth says.

He has enjoyed the classroom experience and especially BU?s ?energetic and good-natured? students. He found community among his colleagues and felt supported by superiors. And as associate dean, he contributed to planning the school?s upcoming renovation, which will add classrooms and community space for students.

Leaving BU had not been on his mind, Farnsworth says, until UT invited him to apply for the position of law school dean. ?I was attracted to the opportunity because I?ve been associate dean, and I enjoyed the work,? he says. ?I thought that being a dean would be an interesting and exciting challenge in the right circumstance. And I decided this was the right circumstance.?

Farnsworth?s new job is not without its challenges. UT?s law school is bigger, both in terms of faculty and students?with two-thirds required to be Texas residents. As dean, he will also have to tackle some immediate fence-mending; the last dean resigned because of faculty unrest over compensation practices, complaints about sexual discrimination, and questions over the use of funds from the private law school foundation.

?It?s true that there are some divisions on the faculty about certain aspects of the way the place is run,? Farnsworth says. ?One of my first jobs will be to try to bring peace to the school on those dimensions.?

The Illinois native says he and his family have never lived in Texas, but they are approaching the big move with an adventurous spirit. ?I?m hoping that my experience with harsh Northeastern winters helped prepare me for the harsh Texas summers,? Farnsworth says. And he?s accentuating the positive to his kids. ?I?ve got a 10-year-old son who loves soccer and he?s looking forward to being able to play it in February.?

House? Condominium? Which is Right for You? : Real Estate Tourist

Buyer Info, Featured, Featured Properties

Are you trying to decide what kind of home to be searching for? Singles, young couples, small families and empty-nesters often weigh condos and single family homes. It?s all a matter of deciding what is most important to you, and what is not important. Many articles and websites evaluate ?the pros and cons? of each?but really, it?s about evaluating which benefits mean the most to you as the owner. There are costs and responsibilities to owning any type of home, so there?s no real downsides to either type, just different upsides. If you evaluate what a home means to you, what features you need to be happy, and what features leave you uninterested, you?ll know which type of home would meet your needs and make you anticipate a happy homecoming as you arrive in your drivway every evening!

What about cost? Yes (surprise!) there are costs to owning a house. Yes (surprise!) there are costs to owning a condo. In many markets a condo is less expensive than a house, but there are condo fees every month. But, for some houses there are homeowner association fees, too. Yes, houses cost money to maintain, while condos usually include maintenance costs in the association fee. However, there are some very good home warranty options that can reduce those costs for house owners. A savvy Realtor can suggest good ones for your area. For either housing option, read your contract carefully, understand what your risks, costs, obligations, and bottom line is. If the whole idea of reading the fine print on a contract gives you a headache, consult a real estate lawyer for a legalese translation!

So knowing that cost is an issue you?ll have to address no matter which option you purchase?let?s get to the good stuff! Which features of home ownership are important to you?

Outdoor chores: Do you use outdoor chores as a main source of pleasure or exercise? If weeding and mowing give you a chance to chat with the neighbors, or shoveling snow allows you and your honey the joy of a snowball fight and cocoa, a house is calling your name. Would you, or DO you pay money to have someone, ANYONE, do those chores for you? A condo may be your speed.

Meetings, community involvement, and mutual responsibilities are often cited as a reason folks avoid Condos?but HOAs are pretty similar. If you want to be free to decorate your house with glitter and erotic art, a freestanding house out in the boonies is a good idea. Even then, you?re going to get mail about making changes! For the rest of us, the pleasure of a well-maintained neighborhood is probably worth the trouble?and both types of homes can offer associations that improve and care for the neighborhood.

Privacy is a biggie for many home-hunters. Condos often share a living surface (walls, floors, ceilings) with neighbors. And while it may cut down on your heating and cooling costs, some neighbors are not a good fit for one another. If you value absolute peace and quiet, or if you know you love noise, action, and commotion at all hours, a house is a good option. Are you easygoing and social, and like the entertainment value of the lively neighbors? Then condo may be the way you?re thinking.

Do you own a gym, pool, or tennis membership? Or perhaps you really want to downsize but you love to entertain. Condo communities often offer luxuries like pools, tennis courts, fitness centers and party rooms that are available to all residents. Some even rest storage units, offer laundry facilities, and other unique options. For many, the ability to stroll to those amenities makes the condo fees look good. Not interested? Then some of the fees would be wasted, and a house might be a better choice.

How soon might you need to resell? Houses tend to increase in value over time in most markets, and their value stays steady even during economic fluctuations. Obviously major recessions and depressions will affect even the best neighborhoods, but overall, houses retain their value well. Condominiums don?t increase in value as quickly, and are far more responsive to economic climate changes than houses. If you?re worried you?ll have to resell in just a few years, or sell quickly, ask your Realtor?s advice. The location and other factors that play into retained and increased value of property can be explained by a professional. The risk is assumed by the buyer?so know your facts, and ask lots of questions.

Outdoor space is another consideration. Do you love having your own yard? Yearn to plant vegetables, or grow roses? A house may be just what you?re looking for. Do you enjoy parks? Love the outdoors but feel grateful to have park rangers and city services take care of them? Condos often have beautiful green spaces available to all residents, but without the danger of being assigned to weed, mow, shovel, or dig. Some even have patios, balconies, or other private outdoor spaces for those who want a little yardage, but not the whole kit-and-caboodle.

Evaluate what features of HOME mean the most to you. Talk to your Realtor about what you really want and don?t want in a home. Then search, tour, and consider all of your options with an open mind. There is a perfect home for you out there?no matter if it?s in house or condo form, once you?ve found your own personal castle, you?ll be home in no time!

Prefer to consider apples with apples and oranges with oranges? For the pros and cons lists, try these two references:
