Promotion: Bah Humbugs
Friday, 13 August 2010
Hi guys, I'm back! I've been on a longer than intended hiatus thanks to a new job, new projects and various other life type things getting in the way.
So, let's get back on track shall we?
I'd like to introduce to you a lovely little business based in North Yorkshire called Bah Humbugs Sweet Shop and to Lucy, the brains behind it all. Bah Humbugs opened in 2004 after Lucy reminisced with friends about classic British sweets from their youth. Soon, Lucy found herself a shop in the Yorkshire Dales and having roped in friends and family to help, sourced the best classic sweets around and started a booming business! Bah Humbugs now has an online shop so you can get your retro sweets wherever you are!
Bah Humbugs sells over 200 different sweets including suckable rhubarb and custards (a personal favourite), chewy Wham bars, soft fudge and fizzy sherbets! They are especially proud of their amazing collection of over 50 liquorice varieties! As you may know, Yorkshire is synonymous with liquorice so Lucy and Bah Humbugs are definitely staying true to their roots! They also offer hampers and party bags so you can share your sweeties with your friends and family (if you can bare to!)
Now, I got a parcel of sweeties from Lucy this morning. Look at them all! I'm so lucky! I've got some plans to bake with some of these delicious treats (but I might have to fight Al for the space dust!)
Bah Humbugs have a great online presence with their blog and their YouTube based Sour Challenge! (I might have to get Al in on that - he's a pro with sour sweets!)
Visit Bah Humbugs at the following address:

John and Mary both pick passwords at random from a $k$ letter alphabet. There are up to $n$ letters allowed in the password. Repetitions are allowed. What is the probability that they pick the same password?
There are $\sum _{i=1}^{n}k^i$ possible passwords, and $\frac{1}{\sum _{i=1}^{n}k^i}$ probability of picking any particular password.
I'm not sure how to set the problem up from here. I know that the answer is either John or Mary picks a password and then the probability of the other picking the same password is $\frac{1}{\sum _{i=1}^{n}k^i}$, but I'm not sure why. I initially thought it would be $(\frac{1}{\sum _{i=1}^{n}k^i})^2$

[Editor's note: This review contains spoilers for the first season of the game]
Coming the week before Christmas, The Walking Dead season two is specifically designed to crush your holiday spirit. I don't care how merry you are from the caroling and eggnog; Telltale's newest game is guaranteed to bum you out. It's a stark reminder that no matter how bad you have it now, things could always be much, much worse.
Then again, it's not like the first season of The Walking Dead was a trip to Santa's workshop. Critics and gamers alike fell in love with the episodic series because of its unflinching look at surviving a zombie apocalypse. Nobody was safe in this brand new world, not even the likeable main character. Each episode was more emotional than the last, ultimately climaxing in one of the most gut-wrenching moments in video game history.
If this brand new episode is any indication, The Walking Dead hasn't changed much in its one year hiatus. It's hard to not feel a real sense of hopelessness as the survivors barely make it from one day to the next. It doesn't help that we've already seen how this plays out. There's no such thing as safety, because something bad is always around the next corner. If the first season taught us anything, it's that horrible things will happen, even when everything seems to be going your way.
As we begin the second season, things are definitely not going Clementine's way. As one of the few people who made it out of the first season alive, Clem has been forced to fend for herself and stay alive through any means necessary. A year and a half has passed since Lee died, and the once whiny young girl has morphed into a tough and seasoned young woman. She may have only grown a few inches, but the situation has forced her to mature faster than her age.
Although we learn the fate of Omid and a very pregnant Christa, most of this episode involves Clem surviving the elements on her own. And it's not just zombies she has to look out for this time around. This season premiere sees our pint-sized hero dealing with animals, other scavengers and even the rushing water of a river. She looks for food, shelter, medicine and friendly people that can help her make it one day longer.
I'll confess, I worried when I first heard that Clementine was taking over as this season's lead character. Don't get me wrong, I love Clem. She won me over early and I enjoyed watching her grow under the tutelage of Lee. Although she acted like a little kid, she was never annoying in the way that many children are written in video games, TV shows and movies. But as much as I loved her in those first five episodes, I was concerned that she might limit what the storytellers can do.
I was wrong to doubt Telltale Games. I like this new, independent Clementine. Lee taught her well, because this is a girl that can get out of a terrible situation. This episode gives her a lot to do, including puzzle solving, fighting and an extended sneaking section that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Clementine is able to do things that Lee never could, which gives me hope that this season will offer new gameplay mechanics tailor-made for this smaller protagonist.
There's a great moment when Clementine meets up with another young girl stuck in a similar situation. Unlike our weathered hero, this new girl has been sheltered and kept away from the horrors of the world. The juxtaposition between these two girls couldn't be more striking, perfectly illustrating just how much Clem has grown in the last two years. This new girl may be older, but you would never know it based on the way the two handle the harsh world.
Fans of the first season will feel right at home with this new installment. Although we've switched from Lee to Clementine, the basic structure remains unchanged. The episode is broken up between action, investigation and conversations. You'll spend a lot of your time choosing how to responds to people, potentially changing what they think of you. And just like the first season, the story changes based on the choices you make.
As a season premiere, All That Remains gets the job done. It gets us right back into the thick of the action, introduces us to new characters and offers up a few mysteries that will be resolved in future installments. So much of this episode is about catching up with Clementine and seeing how she's grown in the last year and a half. I found all that entertaining, but this is far from being one of the strongest episodes of The Walking Dead.
On the other hand, the questions it sets up have me intrigued. Who is this mysterious bad guy these new people are so concerned about? When will we meet up with the group from the 400 Days DLC? And with Clementine as the star, will Telltale be able to top the first season? I can't wait to see how this season unravels.
All That Remains is a satisfying episode that will remind you just how hopeless things can be. It doesn't change the formula or improve the series in any substantial ways, but it offers a compelling story with a bunch of new mysteries to uncover. Fans of the award-winning first season will not be disappointed with this premiere episode.
If you thought the second season of The Walking Dead was going to be more lighthearted, then prepare to be disappointed. All That Remains sees a more mature Clementine battling to survive by herself. As first episodes go, this one definitely gets the job done. The hard part is waiting for the second episode.

Q&A: Gentleman (And Ladies), Start Your Indianapolis 500 Marketing Engines
By Barry Janoff
May 22, 2012: Among the most iconic one-day sports events in the U.S. are the Super Bowl, Kentucky Derby, Daytona 500, Boston Marathon, Rose Bowl and the Indianapolis 500.
In 2011, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which opened in 1909, celebrated the 100th anniversary of the first Indy 500 race in 1911. But because the race was suspended during World War I and World War II, this year will be the 96th running of the Indy 500, which is scheduled for May 27 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (on ABC).
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is already planning a celebration for 2016 to mark what will be the actual 100th running of the Indianapolis 500.
Lead marketing partners for the IZOD IndyCar Racing Series include Honda, Chevrolet, Lotus, Avis, Firestone, Fuzzy's Vodka, Mazda, Peak, Philips, Sheraton, SiriusXM, Sunoco and Verizon.
There are more than 80 corporate partners for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway including Coca-Cola, Crown, Dell, Energizer, Hilton, Mattel, Miller Lite, Shell V-Power, Sprint, Tag Heuer and Verizon, as well as many of the IZOD IndyCar Racing Series partners.
Among the 33 IZOD IndyCar Series drivers seeking to continue the tradition of drinking a bottle of milk in The Brickyard's winner's circle are three-time champion Helio Castroneves (2001-02-09), two-time winner Dario Fanchitti (2007-10), 2008 winner Scott Dixon, Marco Andretti, Graham Rahal, JR Hildebrand and such rookie drivers as Josef Newgarden, Rubens Barrichello, James Jakes and Bryan Clauson.
Regretfully missing from the race will be two-time winner Dan Wheldon (2005-11), who died following a crash at the the season-ending Las Vegas Indy 300 last October. He will be honored both at the race track and on ABC-TV.
Also missing, by choice, will be Danica Patrick, who this year has chosen to ramp up her Nascar events. However, women drivers will be well-represented by Simona De Silvestro, Ana Beatriz and rookie Katherine Legge. Legge will be the ninth woman to compete in Indy 500 history, joining Janet Guthrie, Lyn St. James, Sarah Fisher, Milka Duno, Pippa Mann, De Silvestro, Beatriz and Patrick. In addition, Sarah Fisher Harman Racing will have two drivers (both men): Clauson and Newgarden.
Doug Boles has been a racing fan for about 40 years and has been involved with auto racing for nearly 20 years on the business side as a founding partner of Panther Racing, director of governmental and corporate affairs for former Indianapolis Mayor Steve Goldsmith, executive at marketing and advertising agency Ignition Inc., a partner in marketing agency i3Worldwide and a lawyer representing drivers, race teams and sponsors.
Boles, who joined the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2010 as director of public relations and is now vice-president of communications for IMS, spoke with NYSportsJournalism about the pros, cons and challenges of marketing and building corporate and fan relationships for the IMS and the Indianapolis 500.
NYSportsJournalism.com: Why have the track and the Indy 500 become sports icons?
Doug Boles: The Indianapolis 500, like the Kentucky Derby, is an American institution. It has been around 100 years. At some level, a vast majority of people have some memory of seeing a race in person or on TV or hearing it on the radio. It happens on Memorial Day weekend. People tend to be off from work, hanging around with friends or relatives. The race has become part of the fabric of being an American. So even if you are not a race fan, there are times when you are impacted by it.
NYSJ: When Carl Fisher and others were the driving forces 100 years ago behind building the facility and creating what would become the Indianapolis 500, do you think they envisioned that the Indianapolis Motor Speedway would become a National Historical Landmark and that the Indy 500 would become such a major sports event?
DB: I don't think they had that vision. And I don't think they knew what they were starting. When they built the facility, they were trying to fill a void and a need this community had in terms of what was then the new automobile industry. It was built as a proving ground for the industry here, which at the time had dozens of car makers in central Indiana. The roads were not useable at that time, so the Indianapolis Motor Speedway became, with its paved roadway, a place where they could come to test their cars. A couple of years later they had an idea to race the cars, which became an annual event that ultimately turned into the Indianapolis 500. Some of the folks who were involved with the first race lived well into the 1960s and at that point in time they could see how the event had grown and what it had become. But if the original architects and race promoters could come back today, they'd be surprised not only to see that the facility is still here but that hundreds of thousands of people attend races every year.
"We always had in the back of our minds that it is a great time to celebrate the race, but that we also are setting the stage for the next century."
NYSJ: The 100th anniversary celebration was a major milestone. How do you move to the 101st anniversary and beyond without it being anti-climactic?
DB: That was one of our biggest challenges as we planned for the 100th anniversary. We didn't want that event to be a stopping point. It needed to be a springboard to the next 100 years. As we approached it, we always had in the back of our minds that it is a great time to celebrate the race, but that we also are setting the stage for the next century. The way we have been promoting the race this year is highlighting all of the fantastic story lines and finishes, looking at what would happen next, taking 100 years of history as the starting point for stories and highlights going forward. We have the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2016, so we will build up to that over the next few years and develop the brand even more.
NYSJ: Have you had any residual effects from fans regarding the extensive marketing to support the 100th anniversary?
DB: Yes, and that's what we wanted to have happen. We had a fantastic attendance last year due to the 100th anniversary. We had a lot of fans who had never been to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway or who hadn't been there for a while and came to be part of it. And we have found that, for the most part, those people are coming back in 2012. Ticket sales are in stride with where they were last year, which is a great thing for us.
NYSJ: What about the response and activation you are getting from marketing partners on the corporate side?
DB: We are having a very good year. Our sales guys have met or exceeded all of their goals. I believe we generated the same amount of sponsorship and corporate revenue in a little over the first quarter of this year than we did all of last year. So last year we reinvigorated some of the brands that do understand that the Indianapolis 500 is alive and well and is a great opportunity to promote a brand. This event is very healthy and will continue to thrive.
NYSJ: How is that translating in terms of activation for 2012 and beyond?
DB: Going forward, a lot of our corporate partners are expanding their relationships. Shell has stepped up and really expanded their relationship with us. Fuzzy's Ultra Premium Vodka is another that has expanded their relationship with us. We do have some newer ones. We have a good mix of relationships on the corporate side.
NYSJ: One of the key changes to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for this year's Indy 500 race is putting eight ads for Fuzzy's and eight for Shell on the walls at the track's north end. What do you think will be the reaction to what some might see as trading heritage for revenue?
DB: This is the first year we have done any kind of wall signage on the racing surface itself. We did some on pit lane last year, but this year we moved it to [Turns 3 and 4]. That's the tricky part of operating an iconic sports venue, such as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Fenway Park, Wrigley Field. That's the balancing act. How do you maintain the integrity of the facility but at the same time be able to compete in this new world of sponsorship sales where [marketing] revenue is important to help us [keep] down ticket prices and get brands involved that will activate to help us build the overall brand of the Indianapolis 500.
NYSJ: How did management decide which ads and how many ads would go on the walls?
DB: We are very concerned about how that looks and making sure it does not override the cleanliness of this facility. Part of what makes coming to this facility so different is that there isn't a sign from a sponsor everywhere you look. So it needed to be the right partnership. You and I couldn't call up the Speedway and say we wanted to buy a sign on the wall. It's a bigger package than that. There's an activation component, a hospitality component, an at-track component. The folks we are dealing with who are on the wall or on the grass here at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway also have some sort of investment with one of our teams in the IndyCar Series. So we really wanted it to be an overall package where everybody wins. And we think the fans ultimately win because these companies are activating all around the country and in our market trying to promote our race and our fans.
"That's the tricky part of operating an iconic sports venue, such as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Fenway Park, Wrigley Field. That's the balancing act."
NYSJ: How important was it to have Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Stadium this year in Indianapolis, not just for the Indy 500 but in getting companies and consumers to view the city as an important player in the national marketing landscape?
DB: For our facility, a couple of things happened with the Super Bowl. The first, as members of the community and as a corporate partner in this community, we knew all along that, as a host, Indianapolis was going to hit the Super Bowl out of the park. There were some folks who questioned whether Indianapolis could pull off an event such as the Super Bowl. We knew we could. We host the Indianapolis 500 every year. And this works because we have a community that adopts it, volunteers who get involved, public safety to help move traffic along. There are hundreds of thousands of people at this facility for racing every year. And like everyone else here, we were proud to say we are part of the community.
From the point of how we were directly impacted by the Super Bowl, a lot of media came to the facility who otherwise wouldn't have come. They are stick-and-ball guys, not Indianapolis 500 guys. So they came to the facility because they were in Indianapolis and they wanted to see the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. For many, they were amazed at how big it is. They did some track laps. They took a tour. They did some Super Bowl coverage from the facility. It started some relationships for us that we probably would not have been able to create on our own. Having the Super Bowl in our backyard, having people touch and feel our facility and promote what we do was how we benefited the most.
NYSJ: How important has social media become to the Indy 500 and Indy Motor Speedway?
DB: Social media has grown a lot and is playing more of a role than ever. The IndyCar guys, our drivers, all have adapted it well. Many of them are active in social media. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is trying to get better at that. This is something new we are trying to incorporate into a 103-year-old facility. We are figuring out how to transition into the new media world. But we have a lot of bright, young tech people and marketers here helping us to navigate through the new ways of communicating with [existing] race fans while also generating new race fans. It certainly is an important element in helping to grow and move the brand forward and in attracting new fans. We basically are learning on a daily basis how best to use Twitter, Facebook, our Web site. As a 40-plus guy I am in that learning curve. It is a little odd for me. But it is an exciting time.
NYSJ: There is a lot written about the younger athletes in other sports who are tech and new media savvy. But many race car drivers have grown up with social media and are active on Twitter and Facebook. How has that helped the IndyCar Series and the sport in general to communicate with fans and marketers?
DB: We do have a lot of drivers who are comfortable with and savvy about social media and have adopted it because of their age. Graham Rahal, Marco Andretti, other guys who are under 25 are very active in social media. A couple of years ago, I was at a Nascar marketing summit, and they called out the IndyCar Series as being a good example of how to really use social media. We didn't have the number of followers that Nascar had, but we had a lot more interactivity between our drivers and fans. This is a new medium that is important for Nascar and the IndyCar Racing Series. One of the things that we can do so well is connect our drivers to fans and [marketers].
NYSJ: Danica Patrick won't be driving at the Indy 500 this year, but there will be a significant female presence on the track. How will this impact the race?
DB: Katherine Legge, Simona De Silvestro and Ana Beatriz all qualified to race. Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing has two drivers in the race. Sarah for several years was our most popular driver when she was racing. Then Danica came along and obviously ramped things up as our most popular driver. But Sarah being an owner, being a new mom, she's invested in our community with her race shop. And she is building a new race shop just about a quarter mile away from the front gates of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. She has endeared herself even more to our fans because she chose two young drivers, Bryan Clauson from Indianapolis (pictured right) and Josef Newgarden (pictured left) from Nashville, as her drivers for the season. So the combination of Sarah as an owner and these young drivers trying to compete at the Indianapolis 500 has been a great story.
NYSJ: What do you see moving forward for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy 500?
DB: We are in a good position. The 100th anniversary event [in 2011] was a platform for us to move forward. And, as I mentioned, we are building toward the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2016. The new cars, new and established drivers, developments on the IndyCar side all open up a lot of opportunity for us. Now it's a matter of trying to figure out what the right opportunities are and how to capitalize on them so we can continue to help the IndyCar Series and Indianapolis Motor Speedway to grow.

A record-setting Ferrari-powered 1953 hydroplane, ARNO XI, will cross the block in May at the RM Auctions event in Monaco.
The hydroplane set the speed record for a boat of its size on Lake Iseo in northern Italy, running up to 150.19 mph.
Designed and built by Achille Castoldi—a friend of Ferrari Grand Prix drivers Alberto Ascari and Luigi Villoresi—convinced Enzo Ferrari to provide knowledge and technical assistance to help develop the world-record-holding boat.
The ARNO XI is powered by a 4.5-liter, 12-cylinder Ferrari engine, the same type of engine used in the Type 375 Grand Prix car. That captured the Scuderia's first world championship in 1951. Augmented by twin superchargers, the ARNO XI made 502 hp.

First lady Michelle Obama Thursday offered a rare public reflection on her religious faith, telling a conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church that the life of Jesus Christ is a model for democratic organizing.
"It's kind of like church," Obama said. "Our faith journey isn't just about showing up on Sunday for a good sermon and good music and a good meal. It's about what we do Monday through Saturday as well, especially in those quiet moments, when the spotlight's not on us, and we're making those daily choices about how to live our lives.
"We see that in the life of Jesus Christ. Jesus didn't limit his ministry to the four walls of the church," she said. "He was out there fighting injustice and speaking truth to power every single day. He was out there spreading a message of grace and redemption to the least, the last, and the lost. And our charge is to find Him everywhere, every day by how we live our lives."

The Angels enjoyed a welcome boost Wednesday — twice.
Garrett Richards pitched his best game of the season as the right-hander tossed eight scoreless innings in the Angels' 4-0 win over the Houston Astros, snapping the Angels' four-game losing streak.
Before the game, star center fielder Mike Trout had an MRI exam for his back stiffness and, he and the Angels were relieved to learn, the test revealed nothing serious.
"It's definitely good news," said the 22-year-old Trout, who did not play Wednesday but said he hoped to return in the next couple of days.
Richards was coming off his worst outing when he failed to escape the first inning last Friday in Oakland, and "I definitely came into this game with a little chip on my shoulder," he said. "Last one was embarrassing.
"We're on a bit of a skid and I wanted to be the guy to get us going again," Richards said, adding he was "just pounding the [strike] zone, going right at guys."
Angels catcher Hank Conger said that "you could definitely see right at the get-go [Richards] was coming out pretty hot with his fastball. His stuff looked amazing."
Trout missed the Saturday and Sunday games in Oakland and, in Tuesday night's game against the Astros at Minute Maid Park, he left after the first inning because the back pain returned.
That prompted the Angels to send Trout to a doctor in Houston for the MRI exam to see whether there was any damage.
"The MRI was clean, it was just some inflammation in my mid-left back," Trout said.
"Nothing I should really worry about, nothing broke or anything in there."
For the Angels, Trout can't get back soon enough. With fellow outfielder Josh Hamilton having rejoined the club after nearly two months on the disabled list, the Angels expected to have their lineup back at full strength. Trout's ailment delayed those plans.
Trout this year is batting .293 with 11 home runs and 38 runs batted in, including a three-run, walk-off homer May 15 in Anaheim that gave the Angels a 6-5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
He also leads Major League Baseball in voting for this year's All-Star Game with 1.36 million votes to date.
"We're not anticipating a DL [disabled list] with Mike at all, in fact the opposite," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's made enough progress where hopefully he'll be back in a couple days."
Trout was asked whether the doctor had given him any instructions.
"Whatever I can tolerate," Trout said.
"I don't want to go out there and re-aggravate it and keep playing like that the rest of the year," Trout said. "I want to get it right. I want to go out there and play pain free."
Trout also said he hadn't previously had major issues with his back.
"I had some in the minors but they were like my lower back from sliding, diving head first," he said. "But other than that, no."
And on Wednesday morning, Trout said he was "pretty happy I woke up and it wasn't worse. I'm going to come in tomorrow hoping to play."

Nicholas Berkeley "Nick" Mason (born 27 January 1944) is the drummer for Pink Floyd. He has been the only constant member of the band since its formation in 1965. He also competes in auto racing events, such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The son of the documentary film maker Bill Mason, he was born in Birmingham but brought up in Hampstead, London (many online biographies mistakenly cite the street address Downshire Hill – sometimes as "the Downshire Hills" – as a district of Birmingham) and attended Frensham Heights School, Surrey. He later studied at the Regent Street Polytechnic (now the University of Westminster), where he teamed up with Roger Waters, Bob Klose and Richard Wright in 1964 to form Pink Floyd's predecessor, Sigma 6.
Mason has been the drummer on every Pink Floyd album (but not on every song; some session drummers have been used).

Former Pagliacci site set to house a progressive, 61-unit apartment building, giving LoHi a potential new landmark
TreeHouse Development unveiled plans Monday to construct a 61-unit apartment building on the site of the former Pagliacci restaurant that is designed to pay homage to the longtime, and beloved, Denver eatery.
The $15 million project, called "Lumina," is scheduled to begin construction this summer and be completed by late fall 2014.
The design, by the Denver architecture firm Tres Birds Workshop, is a departure from the slew of trendy, boxy buildings going up in the Lower Highlands neighborhood. It rises five stories with balconies terracing back on its southern side.
The most notable feature is an ornate, steel screen that dresses up the exterior with a Mediterranean flair. Weaved into an "infinity" pattern, the screen has multiple purposes, serving as decoration, a sun shade and handrails for a shared, third-floor deck. Like Pagliacci, the building looks to be showy, though comfortably short of ostentatious, and very sincere.

Many thanks.

A suspect has been identified in a Houston-area college campus shooting that injured three people and forced a school-wide lockdown Tuesday.
Carlton Berry has been charged with aggravated assault, and is still in the hospital, Alan Bernstein from the Harris County Sheriff's Office told NBC News.
Two individuals—one carrying a student ID—were involved in an altercation in a courtyard on the campus of Lone Star College, which left both of them, as well as an innocent bystander, with gunshot wounds, Maj. Armando Tello, acting Sheriff of Harris County said at an afternoon press conference.
Both individuals, described as persons of interest, are hospitalized, as is a maintenance man believed to be in his mid-50s, who was caught in the crossfire and suffered a gunshot wound to the leg, Tello said. Another person was also hospitalized with "a medical condition," which appeared to be triggered by the event.
The Sheriff's account supports witness testimony that described an argument between two men in the college's library. Witnesses said both pulled out guns and began firing on each other, NBC affiliate KPRC Local 2 reported. Several law enforcement officials said the incident may have been gang-related, NBC News reported.
The shooting on the North Harris campus began shortly after noon. The college tweeted that three people had been shot, and a law enforcement official told NBC News that another may have suffered a heart attack. A local hospital said it had received two patients, while another local hospital said it had received two others. Neither hospital released the condition of the victims.
The campus was declared safe at about 4 p.m. local time and Dr. Richard Carpenter a Lone Star spokesman said that the campus would reopen tomorrow. Earlier students had been advised to shelter in place. Four nearby schools were also placed on lock-down.
Carpenter added that Lone Star is a "gun free campus" but that students entering school property are not searched.
According to its website, the Lone Star College System is the largest institution of higher learning in Houston and the fastest growing community college system in Texas. The school has approximately 90,000 students spread over more than a dozen campuses.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler will proclaim Friday, December 10 as Human Rights Day in Lincoln to recognize the 62nd anniversary of the approval of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the General Assembly of the United Nations. The Mayor will issue the proclamation at the beginning of the monthly meeting of the Lincoln Commission on Human Rights (LCHR) at 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 9 in the City Council Chambers, 555 S. 10th Street. Meetings of the LCHR are open to the public.
Lincoln voters approved a charter amendment in 1966 to create the LCHR and to adopt a civil rights code. "Our community has a proud history of respecting and protecting the human rights of all," said Mayor Beutler. "In addition to its role in handling discrimination complaints in Lincoln, the LCHR continues to play a crucial role in public education. The agency's outreach and education efforts have touched more than 5,000 people this year alone."
LCHR staff members have made presentations at Lincoln high schools, the Lincoln Housing Authority, NeighborWorks the New Americans Task Force, cultural centers, community centers and many other agencies. LCHR also presents an annual Civil Rights Conference, and the 2011 conference is set for March 22 and 23.
The nine-member Commission on Human Rights acts as an advisory body to the Mayor and City Council. It is charged with the responsibility of eliminating and preventing discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin, familial status, ancestry, age or marital status. LCHR staff have investigated 86 cases this year related to possible discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodation.
More information on LCHR is available by calling 441-7624 or visiting the City website at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: human rights).

You know, the first thing that came to mind when I started this tutorial was how excited my sister was going to be when she saw it on the front page of Dragoart today. She loves, loves, loves all the Mario games especially the Mario Party series. I had to fill a request by making a lesson on "how to draw Yoshi easy", step by step. You don't know how fun it was to recreate such a popular video game character from the Mario Bros franchise. He was almost as fun as drawing SpongeBob easy. The colors make Yoshi pop off the page, and as you can see he has such a bright expression on his face. If there is another character that you would love to see laid out in an "easy" format, just let me know. I would love to hear your ideas and suggestions. Thanks a lot guys and have fun like always.

San Antonio wouldn't be what it is without the combined cultures of historic Texas ranchers and Mexican settlers. The two collided at the city's most famous attraction, The Alamo, but the confluence of cultures has been much more auspicious elsewhere: the cultural displays in HemisFair Park, the vivid paintings at the San Antonio Museum of Art and the lively galleries and clubs in Southtown. Southwestern flavors also meld at restaurants throughout the city and along the meandering River Walk -- and nowhere does the term ""Tex-Mex"" take on more meaning.
Things to Do
Stroll around San Antonio's downtown to get a flavor of the city's storied Western past, especially through the plazas, one of which was the scene of a running battle with a Comanche raiding party. Learn about Texas' most important battle at the city's dearest Spanish mission, The Alamo. The show-down between Mexican General Santa Anna and some 200 Texas settlers set the stage for San Antonio's bold, independent spirit. Four additional missions, rich with 18th-century wall paintings, the scent of burning incense and the occasional Mariachi Mass, lie in a chain leading south, part of the San Antonio Missions National Historic Park.
Turquoise beads, heavy silver bangles and colorful wool blankets fill the stalls of traditional Southwestern vendors at La Villita, San Antonio's oldest neighborhood, and Market Square. But it's trendy Alamo Heights that draws shoppers looking for upscale goods. Designer labels fill storefronts in this San Antonio neighborhood, but you'll also find custom-made Western wear like ornate cowboy boots and hand-tooled leather belts.
Nightlife and Entertainment
Graceful live oaks lean over San Antonio's River Walk, embracing the twisting, watery heart of San Antonio. Narrated tours carry visitors past noisy Mexican restaurants, elegant wine bars and riverfront pubs, all popular in the evening. The River Walk's open-air Arneson River Theatre is the place to catch Latin music and dance performances afternoons and evenings. The sounds of acoustic guitars and the soaring notes of trumpets fill the air at the theater, while traditional dancers swirl in multicolored skirts.
Restaurants and Dining
San Antonio's River Walk is the city's most popular dining spot. For a winning combination of spicy, meaty and crispy, all on one plate, served with icy margaritas, opt for Tex-Mex. Seafood restaurants serve up succulent oysters and savory ceviche fresh from the gulf coast. And, remember, you're in Texas: Sit down to at least one thick, juicy steak in an atmospheric riverside steak house. For a taste of San Antonio's German heritage, head to Schilo's near the Alamo for mouth-watering bratwurst and Sunday evening oompah bands.

The anguished Kansas City Chiefs responded to the murder-suicide involving linebacker Jovan Belcher with a rare victory on Sunday, defeating the Carolina Panthers 27-21.
Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend in front of his mother at their Kansas City home on Saturday, then drove to the team's practice facility, where he committed suicide in the parking lot as head coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli watched.
The tragedy dampened the normally festive atmosphere at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium before the game and tempered the joy of the victory, which snapped an eight-game losing streak and improved Kansas City's record to 2-10.
"You relied on your faith to help get you through this, and we got through it," Crennel told the team in the locker room after the game. "Everybody made a contribution, everybody helped, and that's what a team is about."
Quarterback Brady Quinn said the tragedy weighed heavily on the players and the victory was meaningful because it showed "how guys clung together."
"This will stick with us the rest of the year," Quinn told FM101.1 radio.
Tight end Tony Moeaki credited Crennel and Pioli for demonstrating leadership, after witnessing the suicide and supporting the team.
"You can't put it into words what we went through as a team," Moeaki told the radio station. "They really stayed strong for us and that was key."
Kansas City fans are known for their elaborate pre-game tailgating parties, but many said the mood was subdued on Sunday. A moment of silence for all victims of domestic violence was held before the game.
"It is a sad situation, but to me, ultimately, the man committed murder," Chiefs fan Tony Alonzo said. "The big picture is that it was a murder."
Fans lamented the death of Kasandra Perkins, 22, and turned their thoughts to the couple's three-month-old daughter.
"That is who you feel for, this three-month-old child," fan Ira Thomas said before the game. "She has to grow up without her parents and, as she gets older, someone in the family will tell her what happened and that might set her back a few years."
By coincidence, a Cleveland Browns employee committed suicide on Saturday, the Browns said.
The body of assistant groundskeeper Eric Eucker, 42, was found at the Browns' training facility, the Cuyahoga County coroner's office said.
Eucker hanged himself, Cleveland's WEWS NewsChannel 5 reported.
The suicide of Belcher followed a recent string of former NFL players who have taken their own lives, including Junior Seau in May, Ray Easterling in April and Dave Duerson last year.
Those deaths heightened growing concerns about the risk of brain injury from repeated concussions suffered by veteran NFL players in a game that some critics say has grown too aggressive, although there was no immediate evidence Belcher suffered significant head trauma.
After discussions with the league, Chiefs chairman and chief executive Clark Hunt left the decision about whether to play with Crennel and the team. They decided the game should go on.
"Romeo called the team captains yesterday afternoon ... and they all wanted to play the game," Hunt told ESPN on the field before the game. "And I asked coach Crennel: 'Do you think the right thing is to go forward?' and he said: 'I do. Under the circumstances, it's going to be tough.'"

Skirball Center Presents Reading of Nancy Keystone's AMERYKA, 11/4
The Skirball Cultural Center presents Ameryka by 2011 Hoi Fellow Nancy Keystone, a dynamic staged reading that also features music, movement, and images exploring the surprising connections between American revolutionary ideals and Poland's desire for freedom. Written and directed by award-winning multidisciplinary artist Nancy Keystone and created in collaboration with her Critical Mass Performance Group, Ameryka is one in a series of public programs related to the new exhibition Creating the United States, on view at the Skirball through February 17, 2013.
The exhibition takes place during the crucial weeks leading up to the Presidential election, bringing timely, historical perspective to current political debates by examining the vision and legacy of our nation's founding documents-the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
Poland's own epic struggle for independence culminated in 1989 when Lech Walesa became the first popularly elected president of Poland.
The idea for Ameryka was sparked two decades later, during Keystone's first visit to Poland in 2009. There she came across a 1989 "Solidarity" election poster featuring a black-and-white photograph of Gary Cooper as Sheriff Will Kane from the 1957 film High Noon. Striding against a stark white background beneath a large red "Solidarity" logo, Kane also wears the logo above his sheriff's star and holds in his hand, instead of a gun, an election ballot. The bottom of the poster reads, in Polish: "At high noon, June 4, 1989."
"When I saw this poster, I was struck by the question of how this supremely iconic American image could hold such power for the people of Poland, how it helped rally citizens to the voting booth," Keystone recalled. "What did this say about the relationship between Poland and the U.S.?"
Keystone has since made four more trips to Poland, and began working on the piece with Critical Mass Performance Group in June 2010. The work combines Keystone's own ongoing examination of democracy and the American experience with her discovery of a vast universe of associations between the United States and Poland.
Performed by a cast of nine playing multiple roles, the multi-layered narrative focuses on three eras: the late eighteenth century, the 1950s–1960s, and the 1980s. It explores the transmission of ideas through time and space and, as Keystone puts it, "individual acts that shift the avalanche of history."
The reading of Ameryka will be presented on Sunday, November 4 at 2PM. Tickets are $15 or $12 for Skirball members and full-time students. For advance reservations, call 877-SCC-4TIX or visit www.skirball.org. For general information, visit the Skirball website or call 310-440-4500.
Creating the United States helps visitors discover how our nation's founders managed to build a strong and resilient republic, even in the face of political turmoil in their own time. While fulfilling the principles laid down by the founders has been a struggle throughout the centuries, the documents they painstakingly wrote are living instruments, essential to the evolution of America and its future.
On view are original documents and autograph letters by George Washington, John Adams, John Hancock, and Thomas Jefferson; a first edition of Common Sense by Thomas Paine (1776); engravings by Paul Revere; a William J. Stone copy of the Declaration of Independence (1847); a Members Edition of the United States Constitution (1787); a facsimile of Jefferson's desk on which he drafted the Declaration of Independence; and an original copy of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation (1863). Rarely has the history of American democracy been so vividly assembled for public exhibition in Southern California.
Creating the United States at the Skirball was adapted from the exhibition of the same name organized by the Library of Congress, which was seen by some two million visitors during its four-year run at the Library in Washington, D.C.

Good experience
" Went here to help my friend find a new car for her first time. Very nice people, great deal right off the bat, and their insurance was just as reasonable. My friend walked out in a new car she loves, and all at a good rate and price. The staff was good as well. Good experience. "
Best Car Buying Experience
" Had probably the best car buying experience ever with this dealership. Our Sales rep Adrian Aguirre was the best and a pleasure to work with. He facilitated the entire deal over texts, email and a few phone calls; so when I showed up all I had to was complete the finance paperwork and I was out the door with my new car. What a great way to buy a car, no stress and all the time I needed to ensure everything was in order. Adrian also knew the car well and walked me thru the set up of the audio technology and followed up to ensure everything was working properly. "
Thank u for the amazing deal and awesome new car
" Thanks for going above and beyond for us and being our champions. Thank u for the amazing deal and awesome new car. We were very happy and satisfied.. U guys beat a the other Kia dealerships big time. Everyone said they was all in but u guys were the most "All in." Thank u again. Blessings to u and all ur staff. "
Always happy to bring my vehicles here.
" This place is so great! I have bought 2 cars here, and everything went well with that, but specifically, I am impressed with their maintenance department. They are always great, they are fast, solve problems, give you all the information. Always happy to bring my vehicles here. "
I will be back!
" Purchased my second Kia Soul here and again I was taken care of in a very professional manner. Ran into a few process wrinkles, however, Mike the GM was able to create win/win resolutions. Best prices and service focused deals can be found at North County Kia! I will be back! "

Sales Team is Friendly
" Bought a car there and have it serviced regularly. The sales team is friendly and decently knowledgeable but moderately pushy. They definitely want to get you into a car ASAP. The service department has been solid; I've never had them recommend anything that didn't actually need doing. Obviously other places can be cheaper but their prices are fair for the most part. "

Great service & very polite
" Great service & very polite. Up front about estimated costs & what's covered "
Pleasant experience!
" Since I had already picked the model and arrived at a price before coming, I cannot rate the sales department as thoroughly as someone who was guided through the whole selection process. Nonetheless this was a pleasant buying experience with low pressure, just explanations on the extras, with the salesman demonstrating many of the unique features on the console to me. I will be taking them up on their free oil change too. Kia Soul 2018 bought 08/11/18. "
Always friendly
" Always friendly and job is done right the first time and no pushing to have this done or that. Nice to be able to go to an honest place and not get taken advantage of. "

" Everyone is very helpful and great service Great service, so happy I bought a pre owned Optima on January 1st for my son. Abraham the salesman who sold us the car was top notch. I will it hesitate to refer anyone to this dealership for service or a car purchase. You have my business. Thank you! Jeremy and Michael are SO awesome!! 1)These saints were generous with us shopping along with our 18mo old son for 6 hours!! :/ 2) They took their time to ensure our satisfaction test driving THREE different style cars. Working the numbers on all 3 until it met our budget 3) They honored my husbands service in the Navy and traded in his salvaged title vehicle which I thought we'd never find a home for 4) Every question I had they had a better answer than I imagined 5) Our comfort was taken care of every step of the way with drinks, and a playroom for our boy. We are so excited to drive home in style and peace of mind without breaking the bank! Come to Kia for MORE than just their awesome oil change services! You will NOT be disappointed! My wife and I had an excellent experience at North County Kia. Sales reps Samantha and Jeremy hustled to accommodate us even though they were short staffed, and sales manager Michael got us an amazing deal on a 2018 Sportage. As for the car, it's unbelievable how nice looking and comfortable our new Sportage EX is. Drives like a dream, couldn't be happier.

Thank you to Jim and Laura, who got me out of my lemon of a focus and into a brand new optima!! I am a struggling and heavily in-debited college grad with an extremely strict budget. Not only did Jim and Laura both handle the deal with smiles on their faces, but they were so understanding and supportive of my situation. Laura answered all my questions -- trust me, there were a million -- and totally put me at ease. The process was quick and easy. The entire staff at north county was absolutely amazing and friendly. Thanks again for putting me into my new car!! Also -- ADDED BONUS? They give you your first oil change FOR FREE!! I couldn't be happier!!

Overall, my first "
North County Kia was the best experience ever.
" This was the first time I've bought a new car, and I've heard all the horror stories about car salesmen and dealers. North County Kia was the best experience ever. No pressure and amazing people!

Thank you Isabel Ish is always helpful and friendly. Nothing to say, except everything is really outstanding especially Stephanie (The angel) Love that the complimentary car washes are back! Miguel provided great customer service! Jenna did a great job of helping find the car that I wanted Great service packages. Stephanie at North County Kia is great. I just purchased my third Kia mainly because of the service I receive from Greg and his staff. No recommendations needed we like the North County dealership how they make us feel welcome I moved to Wildomar and there is a Kia dealership about 5 minutes from my house. Even though it would be way more convenient, the service I receive at North County Kia (Escondido) is worth the time and drive. I already have recommended you and will continue to do so especially with Jorge's amazing skills and being able to not only provide satisfaction but a amazing memorial experience "

" I was taken care of and warranty work explained very well My family has bought 8 Kia's from this dealership in the past 4-5 years and because of their service and awesomeness, we will always come here for our major services and oil changes. We live in Irvine and pass a few Kia dealerships to come down here, but there's no competition in my book. Thanks to all of the staff for keeping our experiences 100% every visit.

Great, fast service!
" Eric the salesman we dealt with was very easy to talk to and laid back. I did not feel pressure to have to buy. Mike the manager was very friendly and honest which is hard to find. We ended up purchasing our vehicle and will be happy to come back for service. Thanks again for working with us! Camille was awesome! Everyone there helped us a lot. A great experience overall Ethan is great with customers and has great work ethics and skills As usual I received great service!!! Great service at North County Kia!! Always a pleasure taking my car in! Great, fast service! Thanks Isabel! The woman, Stephanie, who waited on me was so kind during the entire process. I am thankful I had access to the internet to make my appointment. Give that girl a raise!! I don't have any suggestions. The facility was so clean, so well organized. I told the young lady, Isabel what my concerns were, I walked in to watch TV and drink coffee. It was so relaxing to sit there; I had a big table all to myself. The young lady kept me informed of everything I needed and made sure I was doing ok. I was impressed on how intelligent she was and how much she knew about my car. I know I will be in good hands with her. She will keep me informed of everything I need to do and when I need to do them. I will not let anyone else touch my car. Only the people at the Kia dealership will touch my car. The young lady even vacuumed my car. My car was even washed!!!! You folks have fantastic service. I look forward to working with the young lady again. Great, fast service! Everything was great as always. Excellent and friendly service provided by both Samantha and Jorge. Experience was very enjoyable. "
