San Antonio Mayor Phil Hardberger has been selected to receive the Dean's Medal for Public Service from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism.

The award honors and recognizes individuals who have made a significant contribution to society through their professional accomplishments and civic involvement.

Columbia University is expected to present Hardberger with the award this weekend in New York.

University officials cite Hardberger's role as mayor of the seventh largest U.S. city and a list of accomplishments including his pursuit of a $550 million citywide bond program to improve streets, libraries and parks.

Dodd vows to filibuster Surveillance Act Date: October 27 2007 No: 1206 Dodd vows to filibuster Surveillance Act
Senator Chris Dodd vowed to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that helped this administration violate the civil liberties of Americans. "It is time to say: No more. No more trampling on our Constitution. No more excusing those who violate the rule of law. These are fundamental, basic, eternal principles. They have been around, some of them, for as long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our country is at risk is abandon them."
