Basically, this is some hand-me-down info from the Morgan Co Parks & Rec site to promote the new disc golf course in Rutledge at Indian Creek Park. I played it last Saturday and enjoyed it pretty well. Reminds me a bit of East Roswell and, as others have told me, a few of the holes in Appling.
You can see my full review and details at DGCourseReview.
I know this tournament is conflicting with a couple of others going on around and outside the ATL. It would still be good to have a nice turnout if possible. I'd like to be there, but I was originally leaning towards Jim and Brock's tournament in Ellijay on that same weekend. Or else, I could be out of town on business - not sure yet. Anyhow, just pass this around to some folks out there who would be interested in playing at Indian Creek that day. Don't know if it's 1 or 2 rounds, but call either numbers below for more info.
http://www.parks.morganga.org/Programs/ ... fault.aspx

The Complete Calvin and Hobbes (Paperback)
"From 1985 until Watterson abandoned it at the height of its popularity 10 years later, Calvin and Hobbes echoed the classic strips the artist most admired. Stirring the richly conceived characters and efficient drawing of Peanuts with the visual virtuosity and linguistic playfulness of Pogo and Krazy Kat, he applied his intelligence and supple cartoon skills to come up with a creation beloved by the millions who still mourn its passing. Now, a decade after his demise, six-year-old Calvin has a fitting monumenta lavishly produced . . . boxed collection of all the strips."
Art Spiegleman, starred review, Publishers Weekly
"Watterson's imaginative approach to his material and his inventive graphics have made Calvin and Hobbes one of the few universally admired by other cartoonists." --Charles Solomon, Los Angeles Times Book Review
Calvin and Hobbes is unquestionably one of the most popular comic strips of all time. The imaginative world of a boy and his real-only-to-him tiger was first syndicated in 1985 and appeared in more than 2,400 newspapers when Bill Watterson retired on January 1, 1996. The entire body of Calvin and Hobbes cartoons was originally published in hardcover as a truly noteworthy tribute to this singular cartoon in The Complete Calvin and Hobbes. Available for the first time in paperback, these four full-color volumes in a sturdy slipcase include all the Calvin and Hobbes cartoons that ever appeared in syndication. This is the treasure that all Calvin and Hobbes fans seek.

Robert W. Rice Jr., 35, was sentenced to five years in prison Wednesday for an Aug. 4, 2011, car accident in Callaway that left two young women dead and others injured.
Visiting Prince George�s County Judge Maureen M. Lamasney rejected a motion from Rice�s attorney, James F. Farmer, for a new trial.
Farmer said Rice suffered from a hypoglycemic condition before the accident as a result of his lifelong struggle with diabetes and said Rice did not know what was happening at that time.
�Someone in a hypoglycemic condition is not aware of what they�re doing,� Farmer said.
�I think there was more to it than that,� Lamasney said.
�Not much more,� Farmer said.
�Much more,� Lamasney said.
The judge found Rice guilty of two counts of vehicular manslaughter last summer. Killed in the accident were Chernica Arielle �Ce-Ce� Boyland, 22, of Lexington Park and Lisa Annette Proctor Brooks, 22, of Leonardtown.
On Wednesday, Lamasney sentenced Rice to 10 years with five years suspended concurrently for each of the two counts. With 51 days of jail credited, Rice began the prison sentence that day, said St. Mary�s Assistant State�s Attorney Laura Caspar. The judge also sentenced Rice to five years of supervised probation after prison.
Rice has 30 days to appeal.
�Nobody is saying that you intended to kill these individuals or hurt anyone,� Lamasney said. �It�s not on the table. Nobody is punishing you for a medical condition. The diabetes did not cause the accident. It was the reckless driving and speeding of the vehicle.�
The prosecution said Rice fled the scene after striking a vehicle driven by Sophie Newbury. �He made gestures, he honked his horn� at Newbury, Caspar said, then drove off and got into another wreck that killed the two young women.
At the scene, Rice asked to be pulled out of the flaming wreck, Caspar said.
Rice allegedly told Newbury and her passenger, ��I wish I had killed the both of you, too.� That showed awareness,� Caspar said.
Before the sentence was passed, Rice said to the survivors� families, �I really do apologize. I really was unaware. It truly was a diabetic situation.�
However, Lamasney noted, �It looks like you have a motor vehicle record that goes back 20 years.�
Caspar said Rice previously was convicted of participating in a speeding contest and had several other convictions for speeding.
After the 2011 fatal accident, Rice moved to Florida, where he got a new driver�s license, Caspar said, after his Maryland driver�s license was suspended.
Rice�s family and friends testified about his giving and caring nature.
Pamela Key said of her deceased sister, Lisa Brooks, �she was doing very well until Mr. Rice decided to take that all way from her. His actions � were just so uncalled for. All we have are memories and those just aren�t enough.�
Key said it took her a long time to find forgiveness for Rice. �I have to be honest, it�s hard, but I do. I am not his judge,� she said.
�Today and the rest of my life I will mourn the loss of my daughter,� said Yevette Rhodes, Chernica Boyland�s mother. After prayer and thought, Rhodes said to Rice, �I do forgive you for taking my daughter�s life.�
Rice thanked those who forgave him, and said, �I don�t blame anybody for hating me. I know that I cannot apologize enough to bring back family members. I really do feel for you guys. I�ve had many sleepless nights trying to deal with this.�

This was such a big day for us! So many family members came out and it was so awesome to have everyone meet our son! He's the happiest baby and didn't cry when he got baptized. Just screamed loud and giggled. But of course, I cried. I've noticed being a mom has made me very emotional. I was just so happy and proud of my baby, and he's only 8 months. I can only imagine what i'll do when he starts kindergarden, or graduates, or gets married. I'll literally have a heart attack! Hope you enjoy our personal, exclusive pictures of my family's beautiful day! XOXOXOX Love always, Nicole

Tashan - The Ishtyle... The Goodluck... The Pharmoola
What happens when you throw two guys who hate each other together? One is a cool call center executive, Jimmy Cliff, and the other a desi wannabe gangster, Bachchan Pande. Add, for good measure, a beautiful girl, Pooja, who can't be trusted. Set them on a journey across spectacular India--a journey which will alter the course of their lives in more ways than one; a journey where even enemies need to trust each other if they want to stay alive. The trouble is, in this world no one can be trusted ever! And to top it all there is the evil eye of Bhaiyyaji, a maverick gangster who enjoys killing people as much as he enjoys speaking English. What you get is ... "Tashan"!

John Bellamy
Your host at Hamilton Hall
'a hotel with a soul'
A few words from your host
John Bellamy
although having said that -
he most certainly
is not a man of few words... ha ha
'No la la music - staff who do not speak English, plastic style or tastless decor.'
' Having stayed at many small hotels and B&B's, I have found that all too often you get very little input and conversation from the staff and/or owners except banal small talk which ultimately is boring and meaningless. Some times this is exactly what you want, and if all you want is your anonymity and a faceless establishment filled will la la la music and staff who hardly speak English, then go somewhere else, as there are plenty of Travel Lodges, Best Westerns and Holiday Inns and many venues that claim to be gay friendly.
However - if you would rather stay at a hotel with personality - that touches you with an atmosphere and a gentle peace that uplifts from the moment you walk in - then welcome to Hamilton Hall.
If you want to enjoy some in depth conversations, enjoy sharing in a passionate debate on life, death and the universe, getting your gray cells working and your passions and beliefs shared with others, through an educated approach and not through ignorance, and if you enjoy sharing and hearing opinions on matters that concern us all and you may be searching for more depth, more educated inputs and more meaning to life, and you also enjoy a good laugh and joke and nothing too heavy - then Hamilton Hall will excite you, thrill you, scare the pants off you at times - in a nice fun way - and tempt you down a path of inner thought and outer growth in a world where questioning anything, is in itself questioned, then welcome to my world and my hotel - Hamilton Hall - a HOTEL WITH A SOUL - a hotel to chill out in and find and share some truths and some answers.
We are - quite simply - unlike anywhere you have stayed at before.
I have stayed at numerous small hotels over the years and found most to be lacking. I was recently offered a single room with a double bed squeezed in, with nowhere to hang clothes except on the back of the shower room door, and nowhere at all to put anything except on the floor. It had no fire precautions, emergency exits or smoke detectors and yet charged the same as we do, which seemed really excessive. I was with a friend who is 6'4" tall and I accept the bed was too short for him, and with the room being so small, it made us both feel really claustrophobic. Dinner was £15 each and we were offered a half cold main course and a desert that was plainly a few days old, and I wanted to do a 'Hotel Inspector' and have a chat with them in the morning about how bad it all was - but didn't - and we left - never to return - and sadly more people will be offered bad rooms, bad food, bad service and bad venues up and down the country - and when you watch the TV programme 'Hotel Inspector' - it beggars belief how some people get it so wrong.
I have also stayed in venues where no one spoke a word to us - and unless we asked for something - we barely even got a smile let alone acknowledgement that we were alive and breathing.
Hamilton Hall is so different - and for example, if it is quiet around here and we only have one or two staying, I often invite them to my own studio apartment above the hotel to watch a movie or to sit and chat and share a laugh, and often guests will accompany me with my dog for a nice long walk in the afternoon somewhere pretty, as this is what being a host is all about - not anonymous.
Having said that - ha ha - I sometimes have a bad day like anyone else and I have my limits, and if you get me on a bad day when I am stressed or a bit pissed off, my apologies. I work 15/7/52 FOR NO WAGES - and it is exhausting some times and I ask your understanding and appreciation. If you set out to deliberately antagonise and annoy, ( which some do ) I am not afraid to speak up and expect you to accept your part in whatever 'goes down.' If you do not like it - then tough. No one hates this more than I do and being human, I do have 'my moments' - just as you sometimes have yours.
So as it says as you come into Hamilton Hall - BE NICE OR LEAVE.
As with anything in life - YOU ONLY GET OUT OF LIFE, WHAT YOU ARE WILLING TO PUT IN.
In Peace
John Bellamy
Your host at Hamilton Hall

Dear John. I just wanted to say a big thankyou to you all.
First and foremost John. You deserve the name of 'human being' in the best sense of it = lively, responsible, able to take and give, caring and trying to make the most if everything. I think you've done a fantastic job so far. Keep up the good work. Nick:
Don't tell, but you're my favourite - always cheerful and friendly - I've loved your 'Good Mornings'. I wish you all the best.Simon:
Thankyou for being there, quiet and peaceful. Hope you'll all keep well and continue living intensely in the here and now.
Love Didier
November 2011
Dear John: What can I say but Thank You. Never have I known such kindness and consideration towards a complete stranger - as when I arrived, your smile and cuppa was a warm and friendly welcome. Your helpers Nick and David were a delight and spending the evening wth you all up in your private room watching TV and having a laugh was a most welcome and refreshing change to what I have experienced at gay hotels before. It was exactly why I chose your venue after reading your web site and feeling it was right for me to come. Your hotel is superb but it is nothing without you John, and the brilliant team you have around you. Absolutely spot on.

Sorry I had to dash off so quickly as I was really enjoying the ambiance and peace of the place, but with my Mother being taken into hospital, I had to dash off. Glad to say, all was fine. I shall certainly return as the atmosphere amnd calmness of the place was exactly what my heart and soul needed. Nigel ( Newcastle )
Hi John
This is first time I have managed 5 mins to catch up with you.
Apologies I couldn't find you before I had to leave but did leave a message to say goodbye. I have to thank you for such a special weekend, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. My one regret was not spending more time with everyone. Everyone guests, staff and yourself made me feel like being part of a family which I sometimes miss. It was great being able to switch off and be myself again even if only for a short while. My business partner and I will soon be doing a grand tour of the UK and Bournemouth is on the agenda. I have told him all about your home and we would love to be able to stay with you for a few nights .....if you would have us that is ! Take good care of yourself and I hope Matts first day at school went well
Send my love to all and hopefully see you soon

Despite a disappointing Saturday morning for Prince George's County wrestlers at the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association wrestling state tournament, DuVal's Thierno Diallo represented the county by winning his first state title and completing an undefeated senior season.
Diallo was matched up against Thomas Stone's Tanner Saluter in the 126-pound championship at the University of Maryland's Cole Field House. Diallo, who finished third last season in the state tournament and lost in the state finals the year before that, won his first three state tournament matches in easy fashion, outscoring his opponents by a combined 38-0 before the finals.
The standout senior is DuVal's first state champion since Mike Free won in the 189-pound weight class in 1990.
"Losing two years ago in the state finals was the best thing that could have happened to him," DuVal coach Cortez Hayes said. "It refocused him."
Diallo seemed determined throughout the tournament, right down to his nonchalant celebration after his hand was raised in the 7-1 victory.
In the match itself, Diallo (35-0) took an early lead with a takedown in the first period and entered the second period leading, 2-1 after Saluter recorded an escape.
The pair were neutral to begin the second period until Diallo executed a quick takedown with a minute left to take a 4-1 lead. When the two met in the 4A/3A South Region tournament, Diallo downed Saluter, 8-1.
"I put all the work that I've put into this in perspective before the match so when it came time to wrestle, I was mentally prepared," Diallo said.
In the third period, Diallo recorded an escape after starting on bottom and held on from there, adding another takedown for a comfortable six-point win.
"It's both good and bad wrestling against someone you've wrestled before," Diallo said. "On one hand I knew I could beat him and on the other hand, they always come back with a chip on their shoulder."
In a riveting third-place matchup, Eleanor Roosevelt's Casey Wokocha held South River's Anthony Rossi down for the entire second period as the pair entered the third in a scoreless tie. With Wokocha on bottom to begin the third period, Wokocha scored a reversal after nearly having back points scored against him to take a 2-0 lead with 47 seconds remaining.
Wokocha then received three points for a near fall and hung on for the 5-0 win and a third-place finish.
"It feels good," said Wokocha, a junior, "but first and second are better. I definitely plan to keep wrestling next year."
The kicker here is that Wokocha has only been wrestling for three months. He picked up the sport in December when a friend suggested he give it a try.
Charles H. Flowers 160-pounder Clyde McBride finished fourth. He lost Saturday morning in the semifinals but beat Paint Branch's Malik Kelly to reach the third-place match. There, he ran into a tough wrestler from Hammond, Bryan Overton, who won, 11-1.
DuVal continued its success in the tournament with heavyweight Bola Adeboyku capturing fifth in a convincing 11-3 major decision victory against Sherwood's Adrian Arevalo.
Surrattsville's Mareico Green rounded out his solid tournament with a fifth-place finish — the highest-ever for the four-year varsity wrestler. Green defeated Wade Bishop from North Caroline, 14-9.
"I know the program at Surrattsville will continue to be successful," said Green, who was the Hornets' lone wrestler three years ago.
Oxon Hill's Darrian Hollings finished sixth after losing to Tuscarora's Billy Mills in the final match of his high school tenure.
Meanwhile, Parkdale — which had an uncharacteristically poor Friday — had only one wrestler place. Terry Nance finished sixth for the Panthers after losing to Winston Churchill's Matt Schleckser, in the 195-pound fifth-place match.

There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
If God has indeed created all things, pure scientific truth should never be a "problematic thing" for Christians. If anything, scientific truth enriches the faith as it reveals his majesty and provides Christians with a deeper understanding of God.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Randy Zartman on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Mainly North American and Australian: as a boy's name this originated as a pet form of Randall, Randolf, or Andrew. As a girl's name it may have originated either as a transferred use of the boy's name or else as a pet form of Miranda (compare Randa). It is now fairly commonly used as an independent name, mainly by men, in spite of the unfortunate connotations of the colloquial adjective meaning 'lustful'.

Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
I'm trying to revive my lapsed webcomic as a real comic book. I'm in the process of printing out 13 proposals. Can anybody recommend any comic book companies that I could pitch it to that would be a good fit? I think the quirkiness of the material may work against it. Remember the bit on the Simpsons about "real life stories with robots and magic"? I unintentionally created one of those. The market not being what it use to be probably doesn't help either.
Anyway, here's a promotional item. Thanks!
(Don't tell anybody, but I was trying to draw on the more illustrative end of an Al Capp style, but it came out with a more Iwao Takamoto feel. Both were formative influences, BTW.)
Re: Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
This is where the tale is going to go to a corrupted future observed when the time travel kicks in the middle of a nostalgic slice of life story....
Re: Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
More of the same corrupted future....
Re: Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
One of the cartoons inside of the cartoon.
"In the future year of 1996 and 7/8, the Noon Star was belatedly discovered by a satellite outer space probe. It was pervious unknown because it only shone in the middle of the day when nobody could see it in the broad dayligtht. The Noon Star orbits the Moon. The planet Plup orbits the Noon Star. Plup, itself, is orbited by its tropical moon, Goobly, the home of the peaceful Catsos. In the year 1999 and 15/16, they were invaded from Earth...."
Re: Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
Then years later, the stupid grownups ruined it by making a live action movie out of it....
Re: Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
I'm thinking about submitting to Image, IDW, and Dark Horse. Any potential others? I'm toying with Fantagraphics but I don't think they're a good match. Is Caliber still around?
(Okay, I'll fess up that I dropped out on comics ambitions for the good part of a couple of decades and am a little out of touch because of Heroesworld and other bad politics...)
Re: Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
Online is where it's at right now for comics especially ones that are starting out. Try looking into comic book communities and sites that feature online comics.
One example that comes to mind is http://www.dummcomics.com
Another is http://indyplanet.com/
Do some research in these areas and you'll get caught up as to what's happening.
Re: Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
Thanks for the links!
The problem with Sci Fi Guy! is that it's a too big and unwieldy of a project to do as a hobby. The first story is going to run 300-400 pages. Doing that as a webcomic comic that I can only do one or two pages a week, and that's with things going my way, means this thing will get done way later to never.
However, if this thing doesn't work out commercially, I may do a pruned down and compromised version of just releasing scripts and associated art on DA and calling it as best as its going to get.
Re: Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
I want to do more than one story for this. This is a preview of the proposed second story.
Re: Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
Not to mention a third story....
Re: Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
Not to mention spinning the occasional story based around a second string character.....
Re: Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
Why not do it as a storybook instead of a comic? You'll get it done sooner and you can go on from there.
Re: Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
Your idea is possible. And interesting. Well, the first story is long winded, as in 350-400 comic pages, and it's sort of a pseudo-juvie written for good ol' boys. It could be done, but it'll take some head scratching to get there....
Anyway, I got seven proposals sent out. They went to Fantagraphics, Image, Antarctic, Archaia, Last Gasp, Top Shelf, and Dark Horse. I've only heard back with only one form rejection which is disheartening. The main reason that I haven't given up is that I still have six proposals to go. Can anybody suggest any publishers to send these to? Thanks!
Re: Peek: Sci Fi Guy! comic book promotional
With that much content your project is very well suited for a Web based comic. I'm sure that someone will accept your work especially if you're looking to go online with all those pages. And if they don't then you can always do it independently. Get your content out there and build your fan base and community. Now's the time.

WAC Inter-Congress on Archaeological Theory in South America
The WAC Inter-Congress on Archaeological Theory in South America will be held in San Fernando del Valle de Catamarca, Argentina, from July 3rd to 7th, 2007. This is the Fourth International Meeting on Archaeological Theory in South America. The Meeting is organized by the Doctorate in Human Sciences of the Faculty of Humanities and the School of Archaeology of the National University at Catamarca, and counts as one of the World Archaeological Congress' activities in the region. After the meetings at Vitoria (Brasil, 1998), Olavarria (Argentina, 2000) and Bogota (Colombia, 2002), and because we know that silence won't help us understand Archaeology in our region, we want to regain the impulse. And with that aim is that we want to meet those who work within Archaeology and those who are in some way interested in Archaeology, pertaining themselves to researched societies, because of their activities or their interests. Extending the dialogue is the one of the aims of the meeting.
Kyosei-no-koukogaku: Coexistence in the Past - Dialogues in the Present
12 - 15 January 2006Osaka, Japan
Wac Osaka site
The Inter-Congress theme, Kyosei-no-koukogaku: Coexisting in the Past and Present, will provide a forum for examining a range of issues relating to the study and practices of archaeology in the past and present. There will be three main areas of focus:
The repatriation of ancestral remains
Centre for Cross-Cultural Research Canberra, Australia 8-10 July, 2005
Co-hosted by Centre for Cross-Cultural Research and theNational Museum of Australia
The Meanings and Values of Repatriation a Multidisciplinary Conference

Today (July 11, 2008), Symantec AntiVirus identified GridMove as a Backdoor.Trojan with the 7/9/2008 rev. 3 definition file and deleted GridMove.exe from the Program Files folder and also the application link from Startup.
I imagine I can just re-install GridMove and it should be okay, but I'm pretty sure this is a false positive by Symantec AntiVirus since the previous definition file did not detect an infection, no other programs are infected, and GridMove launches on startup every time. Has anyone else had the same problem? I'm running Windows XP x64 if that makes any difference.
Here's a picture of what Symantec AntiVirus did:

Public Opinion, Legal Principles and Economic Analysis Support Media Ownership Rules
The Consumer Federation of America, which spearheaded the formulation of the principles, Consumers Union, the Center for Digital Democracy and Media Access Project also released a comprehensive legal and economic analysis of the increasing problem of concentration in mass media markets.
"Chairman Powell defines his job as promoting variety in the entertainment market," said Mark Cooper, CFA's Director of Research, "but the First Amendment is about ensuring vibrant civic discourse through diversity of viewpoints and vigorous competition between institutions in the gathering and dissemination of news and information."
"This report establishes a firm evidentiary basis for preserving the current rules that set limits on the number and type of media outlets any single entity can own in any local market and across the nation," said Gene Kimmelman, Senior Director of Public Policy and Advocacy for Consumers Union.
"The stakes for the nation are huge," said Jeffrey Chester, Director of the Center for Digital Democracy. "The mass media are the primary means through which citizens gather news and information and ultimately express their opinions."
The 210-page report, entitled Democratic Discourse in the Digital Information Age, demonstrates that the media studies recently published by the FCC are asking the wrong questions because
- they look at variety of entertainment when they should be looking at diversity of information,
- they worry about number of outlets when strength of journalistic institutions is what matters,
- they downplay the key role of concentration of ownership, and
- they ignore the size and diversity of the population served by the media.
"Even with their misdirection and numerous methodological biases, the studies fail to support Chairman Powell's claims about widespread overlap between media products," Cooper noted.
Analyzing several previous instances in which ownership limits were relaxed, the paper concludes that the industry behaves according to a simple principle "If you let them, they will merge." The report predicts that repeal or significant modification of media ownership rules will open the floodgates of mergers and acquisitions and will reduce competition and diversity in the media
- TV and daily newspapers-in every local market will become highly concentrated, with fewer than four owners per market.
- The national total of owners of TV stations and daily newspapers will shrink to as few as 300 owners of TV stations and newspapers.
- Most newspapers would be integrated TV stations and lose their independent ability to criticize the electronic media.
"Convergence of communications and mass media in digital networks increases the power of the media and the threat that concentrated control of the media in the hands of a few corporations will destroy the people's First Amendment free speech rights," Chester pointed out.
"Recent public opinion surveys make it clear that the public does not support the FCC's push towards concentrated media markets," Cooper noted. "The public is troubled by the growing concentration of the media and expresses strong support for public interest obligations for both television, the Internet and open communications networks."
- Two-thirds of the respondents to public opinion polls think media corporations are already too big and would like to see the mega mergers stopped.
- They believe that the mergers raise prices, lower quality and reduce diversity.
- They want more reporting on local events and public affairs, which large national corporations are less likely to provide.
"By taking a narrow view of entertainment economics as his primary responsibility," Kimmelman concluded, "Mike Powell is selling short the bold aspiration the Supreme Court laid out for the First Amendment when it declared that the public interest demands the widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources."

Ticket Info for the ACC Tournament
The story of the ACC in '13 was the dominance displayed by the Miami Hurricanes throughout the regular season and the conference tournament. The Canes were the first team not named UNC or Duke to join that club. Led by veteran head coach Jim Larranaga, Miami dominated the conference from start to finish. They pulled off three impressive wins over Boston College, NC State, and UNC en route to claiming the title in Greensboro. This was marked the first regular season conference championship and tournament title for the U. The Canes return talented point guard Shane Larkin next season, will it be enough to capture back-to-back conference crowns? You can be there to find out with ACC Tournament tickets from GoTickets. We have tickets to every ACC Tourney game from the first round all the way through the championship game.
This year's ACC Basketball Tournament returns to the Greensboro Coliseum after being held in Atlanta last season. Perhaps one of the North Carolina schools will make a run at the ACC Championship, as they tend to feel far more comfortable playing down the road in Greensboro. You can't, however, discount any of the ACC teams in this style of a tournament as there always tends to be a few upsets with so many great teams. Don't wait until the last minute – get your ACC Basketball Tournament tickets early this season.
Part of the reason that Duke and North Carolina have had so much success in the NCAA Tournament and NCAA Final Four is that the ACC Tournament offers the perfect atmosphere to get ready for the Big Dance. For some games you could even argue that the ACC Tournament is more intense, so every team that goes on to the NCAA Tournament is fully cranked up and ready to go. If you are ready to get your ACC Tournament basketball tickets, GoTickets is ready to deliver them at the best prices.
ACC Tournament Future Schedule
When the ACC started to expand in '03 the ACC Tournament became a hot topic of conversation. With four founding members in North Carolina, the biggest and best college basketball tournament had originated in Raleigh at NC State's Reynolds Coliseum back in 1954 and has only left the state on rare occasions since then, including '09 where it was held at the Georgia Dome. In '11 the historic tournament returned to Greensboro at the Greensboro Coliseum that has seen some of the best tournaments back in the 70's and 80's.
2016 ACC Tournament - Verizon Center, Washington, DC
2017 ACC Tournament - Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY
2018 ACC Tournament - Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY
2019 ACC Tournament - Time Warner Cable Arena, Charlotte, NC
2020 ACC Tournament - Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, NC

I have a cart similar to what you've shown and doubt it will work due to the construction of the cart /tool chest and the space underneath.
I think you would be making more work for yourself than designing and fabricating your own.
The main problem I see with the cart you show, is that the chest is one piece and then you would need to extend the base out to handle the extra weight of the cylinder of shielding gas so that it won't tip over.
Just my opinion...

If I wanted to keep it simple and use that cart I would get some angle iron and go after two things.
First I would want to widen the foot print so that the casters were out on the perimeter. Second I would want to build a platform on each side for the new equipement. The gas bottle could be centered on the back of the cart.
Two by two eightn inch angle for the new base that matches the foot print of the combined new equipment, the basic cart, and the gas bottle. One by one by eighth angle for the platforms for the new equipment.
It could be so slick it would make WD 40 look like glue.

During his time at The Centre, Jarod was given red notebooks to record his work and notes in. After his escape, he continued to use the same style of red notebooks to keep notes and clippings in, keeping records of his 'Pretends'. Jarod usaully left one behind in his lairs for the pursuit team, Miss Parker or Sydney, to find.
Jarod had more success in finding the secrets of Miss Parker's past than his own. These secrets were delivered often in the form of a Red Notebook to Miss Parker, and although she never welcomed them, she also never refused either.

Courses Taught
HS2038Gender, Politics, and Science in Fairy Tales of the WorldWhy do fairy tales capture the attention of adults and children all over the world and endure in popular literary and cinematic forms? What do they reveal to psychologists, biologists, historians, linguists, artists, anthropologists, and educators? Do they politicize or de-politicize? socialize or subvert? What is the postfeminist, postmodern response to the Brothers Grimm? What do fairy tales convey about animal behavior, entomology, and cosmology? How might the tales shape human limitations, moral values, and aspirations? This course will explore the story-telling and re-telling of literary, cultural, and scientific stories from a comparative perspective, imagining their interpretations and how they may be re-told with an eye toward new understandings of human interrelationships, of a given sociohistorical moment, the culture of COA, and the larger culture. Students will read fairy tales, view three films--"The Little Mermaid" (USA), "Chunhyang" (Korea), and "Pan's Labyrinth" (Spain)--and discuss academic pieces by writers such as Cristina Bacchilega, Bruno Bettelheim, Ruth Bottigheimer, Michel Butor, Italo Calvino, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Jack Zipes. Reflections may include distinctions between fairy tale and myth; recurrent motifs and patterns; the history and variations of individual tales and motifs; social, sexual, moral, scientific and political content, with emphasis on race, gender, and class structure; and contemporary works inspired by traditional tales. Students will be evaluated on two short papers; one creative project that may be expressed in writing, visual art, music, or dance; and a final assignment that will take the form of a class project.
Level: Introductory/Intermediate. Class limit: 15. Meets the following degree requirements: HS
HS503Survey of British Literature
Poetry, plays, essays, and fiction by British writers from the medieval period to the early twentieth century will be explored in the context of social, historical, and cultural currents and cross-currents. In addition to examining the lives and works of men and women writers from Chaucer to T.S. Eliot, students will be encouraged to question and analyze writings in relation to nature, science, and philosophy; poetry and painting; exploration, travel, trade, and colonialism; gender, class, and family; slavery and plurality; monarchy and revolution; classic, romantic, and modern theories and forms; and industrialism and alienation. Three papers will be written during the semester, each paper to be followed by a tutorial conference. Writing Focus option. Level: Intermediate. Class limit 15
HS696Troubadours, Nuns, Witches, and Concubines 500 - 1450
This course traces variations in the social, legal, and economic status of women in Asia and Europe from about 500 to 1450. Students will be examining letters, diaries, songs, court documents, poems, essays, and fiction with an eye toward textual analysis and original discourse. Students will also consider such questions as: Why and to what extent did women in some parts of the medieval world-in China until 960; in southern India; in Catalonia, Spain-experience relative freedom? What were women's attitudes toward men, children, religion, love, work, sexuality, religion, magic, and education? How was gender negotiated, with female identity in girlhood, adolescence and adulthood established or modified, within the various sociocultural contexts? What were the achievements and accomplishments of women during the "Middle Ages" whether they managed households; wandered the land as minstrels; or worked at court, in the religious life, in the visual and performing arts, or in medicine? Students will be evaluated on the basis of class participation, two short papers, and one substantial essay. Level: Intermediate/Advanced
HS749Tutorial: Witches and Witchcraft
Surveying the role and historical development of beliefs, practices, and persecution of witches and witchcraft in Europe, the United Kingdom, and the Unites States from medieval to modern eras, this tutorial is an advanced study that will involve extensive reading across cultures and genres. The impact of influences on the West from Africa and the Caribbean will be explored, as will depictions of witches in religious and legal documents, mass media, visual art, popular tales, fiction, and drama. Central questions are: How have attitudes toward and images of witches and magic reflected commonly shared fears, biases, beliefs, and hopes of various cultures? Why did witch hunts and interrogations utilizing torture intensify during various periods? Why were those exhibiting special powers or knowledge--such as healers or "entrancers"-greeted with rage, fear, and severity through the ages? Did different social classes harbor similar or disparate views of witches? In what ways did the public equate "bewitching" with control or usurpation of personal identity and responsibility? This course will meet regularly; students may select two topics for short papers and a third for more intensive treatment as a final project which may be in mixed media. Level: Advanced
HS532Tutorial: Writing Projects
This tutorial enables upper-division students to improve their writing styles using papers they are working on in other courses or writing they are doing as part of their senior project. The tutorial focuses on acquiring a better understanding not only of writing as process but also of syntax. Through exercises, peer review, and conferences, students will learn strategies for making their writing more cohesive and focused. In particular, they will look at the role pace, emphasis, and flow play in enabling them to draft pieces that are both readable and engage the intended audience. Level: Intermediate. Prerequisite: Signature of the Writing Program Director. Class limit: 5. *W*
HS4034World LiteratureUsing seminal works by Machado de Assis, Luís de Azevedo, and Rabindranath Tagore as a starting point, this course will present non-English twentieth- and twenty-first-century world literature in the context of its relation to cultural, political, and personal identity. One of the main objectives of the course is to provide students with the critical tools necessary for an informed reading and analysis of texts, especially in light of questions of identity formation, an imagined or remembered sense of home and displacement or exile, and cultural conflict in today's world. Acknowledging and becoming familiar with elements such as genre, period, style, and theme are also goals of the course.
Fiction and nonfiction in translation, with some attention to bilingual and parallel texts, will include short and full-length prose works by writers such as Lu Xun, Naguib Mahfouz, Tadeusz Borowski, Mahasweta Devi, Lydia Chukovskaya, Ingeborg Bachmann, Emile Habibi, Reza Baraheni, Gabriel García Márquez, Nawal el Saadawi, Aimé Césaire, Carlos Fuentes, Christa Wolf, Jaime Manrique, René Alomá, Carme Riera, Alifa Rifaat, Octavio Paz, Abé Kobo, Jack Agüeros, Empar Moliner, Ben-Zion Tomer, Francisco Goldman, Arundhati Roy, Shulamith Hareven, Haruki Murakami, Roya Hakakian, Edwidge Danticat, Pola Oloixarac, Abelardo "Lalo" Delgado, and Susana Chávez-Silverman. Evaluations will be based on discussion, three short papers, and one interpretive essay.
Level: Intermediate/Advanced. Prerequisites: none. Class limit: 15. Lab fee: none. Meets the following degree requirements: WFO
HS1014Writing Seminar I: ExpositionThis expository writing course, which is limited to second and third-year students, focuses on writing as a process, audience awareness, syntax and analysis. Through class discussion of readings, students gain an understanding of how others use the various principles of exposition to explain, clarify, and analyze. By writing several drafts of papers, topics may be chosen by students, students develop prewriting and revision skills. Through peer review sessions, students apply what they have learned in analyzing the writings of others to the writing of their peers. The portfolio students turn in at the end of the term should contain several drafts and the final version of two shorter papers, drafts and final copy of a library-based research paper, and an annotated bibliography. This course meets the first year writing requirement.

- The Enterprise
- The Recorder
Lexie and Steven Kinson were expecting their first baby.
The young couple had deliberated about when to start a family and had even relocated from Southern Maryland back to Colorado, where Lexie is from, so they could be close to relatives.
But as they excitedly waited for their new addition, they started getting disturbing news from their doctors. "We were told at our 18-week appointment that most likely he had spina bifida as well as bilateral clubbed feet, and we had the choice to terminate the pregnancy," Lexie wrote in an essay about her son.
Termination was not an option for their family, she said. But they knew nothing about spina bifida, a birth defect in which the bones of the spine do not form properly around the spinal cord, and they were "beyond scared," she said. Other health issues were also being suggested.
So multiple challenges awaited little Ari Kinson and his parents when he was born at 28 weeks gestation on Dec. 26, 2012, at the University of Colorado Hospital. He weighed 1 pound, 2 ounces and was only 10 1/2 inches long.
Premature babies — those born before 37 weeks gestation — are at risk for more health problems and may need to stay in the hospital longer than babies born later, according to Jennifer Abell, division director for the Suburban Maryland Division of the Maryland Nation Capitol Area Chapter of the March of Dimes. They also may have long-term health problems that can affect their whole lives. Nearly half a million babies are born prematurely each year in the United States.
"But thanks to advances in medical care, even babies born very prematurely are more likely to survive today than ever before," Abell wrote in an email.
Ari spent the first five months of his life in the neonatal intensive care unit. During that time, he developed pneumonia six times and had three major surgeries — laser surgery in both eyes, spinal surgery and double hernia surgery. "He kept fighting through it all," Lexie wrote of Ari's first few months of life.
"He was a true fighting machine. The strength within him blew my husband and I away. We were so amazed to see him grow. When we hit 2 pounds, I thought it was the absolute greatest day on this earth," Lexie wrote.
She was so impressed with Ari's toughness and persistence in spite of his health challenges, that she entered his story and a photo of her son in the fourth annual Preemie Power Photo and Essay Contest, sponsored by Hand to Hold, a peer-to-peer support network for parents of preemies and parents in need of support.
And Ari's story won.
Kellie Kelley, founder and executive director of Hand to Hold, which is headquartered in Austin, Texas, said that a panel of neonatologists and NICU nurses selected Ari's story as the winner of the 7 to 12 months age category, as well as the overall winner of the contest. "Ari-tron," as his mother refers to him, was also recognized with the Thundering Thurston Award for earning the most votes in the contest.
There were 185 entries in this year's contest, Kelley said Monday. Those entries came from 40 different states as well as Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
"I really wanted to recognize not only the baby, but the family for the incredible challenges they've overcome," Kelley said of why she created the contest. "They provide so much hope and inspiration."
In Lexie's entry for Ari, she described his "superhero characteristics" — stamina, healing ability and his ability to spread joy.
"Ari-tron lights up a room with his smile. It's one in a million," Lexie said.
"When you look at that smile on his face ... [his challenges haven't] slowed him down," Kelley said. "For me, it's everything that preemie power is about. Even with all the complications, you still see him thriving. His story is one of hope for others."
The Kinsons moved back to Southern Maryland in June so that Steven could take a job at Webster Field in St. Inigoes and Lexie could stay home to care for Ari. They live in Great Mills.
Taking care of their medically fragile son has been a challenge for the young parents. "It's been a learning process for both of us," Lexie said. But she noted that they have received a great deal of support from family and friends.
Ari just celebrated his first birthday and "he's trying to learn to crawl," Lexie said. "He scoots around on his little butt. ... We're trying to wean him off his oxygen" so the oxygen tubes don't get in the way as he tries to become more mobile. He now weighs 11 pounds, 13 ounces.
While there are a lot of unknowns about Ari's future challenges, "his doctors think he has a really good chance of having a normal ... life," his mom said.
"He's just so strong, and he's just endured so much ... [and] has just bounced back. He's just a phenomenal little kid," Lexie said. "I just feel like we're very blessed."

What Does the Term a-si TFT/PVA Mean?
The term, a-si TFT/PVA, describes what the liquid crystal cells (pixels) in an LCD screen are made of and how the liquid crystal cells in the screen are controlled and configured.
Description of Each Term
- a-si - amorphous silicon. The kind of silicon used in the LCD screen.
- TFT - Thin Field Transistors. The kind of transistors used to control the liquid crystal cells in the LCD screen.
- PVA - Patterned Vertical Alignment. The orientation of the liquid crystal particles in the LCD screen.
Here is another term you might see:
- TN - Twisted Nematic. A kind of liquid crystal used in LCD monitors that is naturally twisted. TNs have two interesting properties:
- When you apply an electric current to a TN, it untwists, with the amount of untwisting dependent upon the voltage of the current.
- The amount of light that can pass through a TN depends upon how twisted it is.
Because you can cause a TN to untwist by applying an electric current to it and control the amount it untwists by varying the voltage of the current, you can control the amount of light that passes through a TN by changing the voltage of a current you apply to the TN.

New legal action could delay the sale of Cedar Fair to Apollo Global Management.
Four lawsuits filed in Erie County Common Pleas Court on behalf of five Cedar Fair unitholders claim the deal is unfair.
The civil suits represent Sandusky residents Mary Denslow and John R. Sprau, Indiana resident Todd Miller, Connecticut resident Kenneth Loiselle and Milford resident Joseph J. Braun.
They allege the offer price of $11.50 per limited partnership unit undervalues the company's worth, depriving its unitholders of the profits they seek.
The Dec. 16 deal, valued at $2.4 billion, includes $1.6 billion in debt. At least two-thirds of Cedar Fair's unitholders would have to approve the deal before Apollo could take the helm of the amusement park company. Meanwhile, the company has 33 days to accept another offer.
Stacy Frole, director of investor relations for Cedar Fair, had no immediate response to the lawsuits.
Given the size of the transaction, she said, "it's not surprising there would be people looking at litigation."
As for whether the offer is generous enough, Frole said the $11.50 per unit is a 28 percent premium over the Dec. 15 closing price.
Cedar Fair's managers and board of directors considered a wide range of options and decided the deal was in the best interest of unitholders, Frole added.
The lawsuits argue Cedar Fair and its executive board breached their financial responsibility in this deal.
D. Thomas Rengel, attorney for Denslow and Sprau, said part of this breach includes the fact that Cedar Fair may be required to pay Apollo up to $19.5 million if the sale sours.
Those who disagree with the Apollo deal are not convinced it's in their best interest.
"The whole objective is to make sure the shareholders get a fair shake," said William Flynn, one of several attorneys for Loiselle and Braun.
The lawsuits seek to stop Cedar Fair from moving forward until legal issues are addressed.
To do that, a judge would have to determine if the unitholders have a solid case against Cedar Fair. The judge must also determine what's in the public's best interest and which action would cause the least harm.
The lawsuits will likely be assigned to Judge Tygh Tone.
Tone said he will check to make sure he does not have a conflict of interest. Judge Roger Binette said he's not aware of any reason he could not accept the cases if Tone steps down.
While he would not discuss the particulars of this lawsuit, Tone said he generally addresses a request for injunctive relief -- in this case, stopping negotiations -- as soon as possible.
Denslow and Sprau requested the cases be consolidated into a class action lawsuit that others may join.
