Brief Synopsis
True story of the convicted bootlegger who fought for his freedom by inventing a new rifle.
While on a business trip to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in New Haven, Connecticut, preeminent gun designer Marsh Williams is urgently summoned home to North Carolina by his wife Maggie. Once there, Marsh learns that his young son David has been the victim of vicious schoolyard gossip targeted at Marsh. To explain the situation to David, Marsh turns to his old friend Capt. H. T. "Cap" Peoples, the warden at Central Prison, North Carolina. Marsh drives David to the prison to meet Cap, and there Cap explains that Marsh was convicted of murder and recounts the story of his incarceration: As a boy, Marsh, a rugged individualist and one of eleven children, impetuously quits school to join the Navy. After several hitches, Marsh is discharged and returns home to marry Maggie, his boyhood sweetheart. When Marsh asks his strict father Claude for his share of the family farm, Claude sternly declares that Marsh must work for two years to prove that he deserves the land. Impatient, Marsh renounces his claim to the property and takes a menial job laying railroad tracks so that he can afford to marry Maggie. To supplement his meager income, Marsh builds a distillery with fellow moonshiners Redwick Karson and Sam Markley. When one of the local moonshiners is killed by revenue agent Jesse Rimmer, Marsh warns Rimmer to stay away from him. Marsh continues to expand his business, telling Maggie that his newfound prosperity is due to his hard work at the railroad, until one day a still explodes, severely scalding him. When Maggie learns that Marsh has been lying to her, she threatens to leave him unless he stops moonshining. Soon after, revenue agents come to the distillery to arrest Marsh, sparking a gunfight between the moonshiners and the agents. Marsh escapes into the woods, and later, Maggie finds him in their secret hiding place and informs him that Rimmer was killed in the shootout. When Maggie swears to stand by Marsh, he turns himself in and is arrested for murdering the agent, even though several other men participated in the fatal gunfight. Once the jury returns a deadlocked verdict, Claude demands a second trial for his son and the state offers a reduced charge of second degree murder. After accepting the state's offer, Marsh is sentenced to thirty years of hard labor. Bitter, Marsh refuses to communicate with his family. One day, in the prison yard, several prisoners stab an informer, and although Marsh refused to participate in the attack, he is sentenced to work on the chain gang with the others. After doing his time on the brutal chain gang, Marsh is transferred to the Caledonia Prison Farm, where he meets Capt. Peoples, the warden there. Although Maggie writes Marsh regularly, he discards her letters without reading them. Maggie complains to the warden about her husband's unresponsiveness, Cap summons Marsh to his office and orders him to respond to his wife's letters, but Marsh sullenly challenges his authority. While working in the fields one day, Marsh grabs Cap's gun to shoot a rattlesnake that is about to strike. When Marsh voluntarily relinquishes the weapon, he begins to win Cap's respect. Soon after, "Dutch" Kruger, one of Marsh's bunk mates, suffers a debilitating bout of malaria, and when Marsh stays behind to take care of him, Cap punishes him for being late to dinner and sentences him to solitary confinement until he recognizes the warden's authority. Marsh defiantly holds out for thirty days until the prison doctor authorizes his release. Afterward, Cap summons Marsh to his office and tells him that Maggie is waiting outside to see him. After Cap grants Marsh a twenty-four hour leave to spend with his wife, Marsh begins to respect the warden. On a picnic with her husband, Maggie reaffirms her love and then tells Marsh that she wants to have his child. When Marsh returns to prison on time, Cap honors his request to work at the blacksmith shop. After Marsh starts to sketch the design for a rifle he conceived of during his long days in solitary, Cap reluctantly allows him to continue his drawing. In secret, Marsh builds his gun in the prison workshop, and one day, Dutch and another inmate try to steal it to use in a prison break. Although Marsh successfully resists them, Cap is furious that Marsh actually built the weapon. When Marsh explains his revolutionary design for a new, light automatic rifle, however, Cap, impressed, allows him to continue work on the gun and writes Maggie that Marsh's determination has changed him. Marsh becomes a model prisoner, and six years later, finally perfects his rifle. When newspaper headlines trumpet the story of a convicted killer who builds guns in prison, Cap and Marsh are called before the prison board to defend themselves. After Cap defends Marsh's right to test his gun and offers to complete the convict's sentence if he tries to escape, the board, impressed, grants him permission. Once the gun is successfully tested, Joseph Winchester, the head of Winchester rifles, offers Marsh a contract. Several months later, with his father and Cap's support, Marsh is pardoned by the governor. His story finished, Cap returns to the present and concludes that Marsh's designs revolutionized the automatic rifle, a weapon that helped win the war for the U.S. With new respect, David then runs into his father's arms.

Sweeney joins Wayland faculty in Division of Social Sciences
Dr. Kevin Sweeney of Oklahoma has joined the Wayland Baptist University in the Division of Social Sciences. Sweeney will teach geography as an assistant professor of social sciences.
Sweeney comes to Wayland from Oklahoma State University, where he served as graduate teaching associate in the Department of History while working toward his doctorate. He also served as an instructor for lower-level history courses and as a teaching assistant in several history courses.
He holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Oklahoma, a master of arts from Northwestern Oklahoma State University and a doctorate from OSU. He is a member of the Western Historical Society, the American Society for Environmental History and Phi Alpha Theta history honor society.
Sweeney has presented at several conferences, with topics including the Great American Desert and Indian Tribes in the Southern Plains. He has also had several reviews published in Chronicles of Oklahoma.
Dr. Estelle Owens, chairperson for the Division of Social Sciences, said Sweeney fits in wonderfully in the division because of his specializations.
"What's wonderful from our perspective is that he is both a historian and a geographer. That combination is unusual, even rare," Owens said. "He has a background none of us does, because he's a western and an environmental historian. We didn't have anyone who could do that. He's also a genuinely good person and a likeable person."

Kearney will be headlining the night with a full band, drawing not only from his first two critically acclaimed albums, but also from his most recent offering, "Young Love." His third full-length album debuted at number one on iTunes and has been met with widespread praise.
"Entertainment Weekly" has said that the release consists of "earnest folk-pop ditties, riding a sunny hip-hop beat." "USA Today" has said of the lead single that "Kearney's lilting hit 'Hey Mama,' written for his wife of a little more than a year, only scratches the surface of this excellent album from the Nashville singer/songwriter."
Kearney's music has been featured on a large variety of television series, including "Grey's Anatomy," "The Closer" and "NCIS." Mark Joseph of the "Huffington Post" said about Kearney, "If this is the future of rock in America, it's a bright one."
Tickets go on sale for the public on Wednesday, Sept. 14, at the ticket office in the main lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse, and cost $15 with a Hope I.D. and $25 for the general public.

"Ghoulish," "Sick," "Aspiring Baby Killer": Right-Wing Media's Response To Wendy Davis Governor Run
Research ››› ››› EMILY ARROWOOD
Conservative media viciously attacked Texas State Senator Wendy Davis after she announced her candidacy for governor, linking Davis to infanticide and calling an image of her with kids "sick" and "disgusting."
TX State Sen. Wendy Davis Announces Run For Governor
Reuters: Wendy Davis Announced Her Candidacy For Governor Of Texas. Texas State Senator Wendy Davis announced her plan to run for governor on October 3. From Reuters:
Wendy Davis, the Texas state senator who staged a filibuster against sweeping abortion restrictions, announced on Thursday that she would run for governor of the state.
The announcement ends months of speculation over the political future of the 50-year-old Democrat, who gained national attention when she talked for nearly 11 hours on the Texas Senate floor in June to temporarily block new restrictions on abortion. [Reuters, 10/3/13]
Davis Received National Attention For Filibustering Draconian Restrictions To Texas Women's Reproductive Rights. In June, Davis filibustered a proposed bill that was expected to close all but five of the state's women's health clinics. As NPR wrote:
Davis stood and spoke continuously for nearly 11 hours in an attempt to block passage of SB 5, a bill that would ban all abortions after 20 weeks and could effectively close all but five abortion clinics in the state. Supporters say the new, stringent standards raise the level of care for Texas women. The majority of Texas voters polled have shown support for restrictions on abortion.
The dramatic restrictions in the bill had already drawn national attention for their reach. But her riveting, one-woman attempt to stop it put Wendy Davis' name on the national map. [NPR, 6/26/13]
Davis Announced Run For Governor With Twitter Photo Of Herself With Texas Children. After announcing her candidacy for governor, Davis tweeted:

Right-Wing Media Respond With Vicious Smears, Call Announcement "Disgusting"
Fox News' Michelle Malkin: "Abortion Extremist" Davis Sounds "Ghoulish," Should Have Posed With "Gosnell Jars." Fox contributor Michelle Malkin claimed that Davis sounded "ghoulish" when she had tweeted about "a better tomorrow" for Texans. Malkin later tweeted that instead of children in the photo, Davis should have been surrounded by convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell's jars, which reportedly contained human remains.
[Twitter.com, 10/3/13]
[Twitter.com, 10/3/13]
Fox News' Katie Pavlich: Davis' Photo Is "Sick" And "Disgusting." Fox News contributor and Townhall editor Katie Pavlich smeared Davis as "famous for infanticide" on Twitter, calling the photo "sick":

[Twitter.com, 10/3/13]
Fox News' Erick Erickson: Davis Could "Abort" Campaign After 26 Weeks "With A Clear Conscience." Following Davis' official declaration of her candidacy for Texas governor, Fox contributor Erick Erickson tweeted:
[Twitter.com, 10/3/13]
Media Research Center's Dan Gainor: Wendy Davis Is An "Aspiring Baby Killer." Dan Gainor, vice president of Business and Culture for the conservative Media Research Center, tweeted of Davis' announcement:
[Twitter.com, 10/3/13]
Gainor later tweeted:
[Twitter.com, 10/3/13]
National Review Online: "Abortion Barbie Enters The Race In Texas." On the front page of its website, National Review Online (NRO) linked to an article on Davis' announcement by declaring:

NRO later altered the frontpage teaser to read:
[National Review Online, 10/4/13]
Fox Figures Have Previously Targeted Davis For Supporting Women's Reproductive Rights
Erickson Labeled Davis "Abortion Barbie." In August, Fox contributor Erickson deemed Davis "Abortion Barbie" after The Weekly Standard linked legal abortion to the crimes of convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell when questioning Davis:
[Twitter.com, 8/6/13, via Media Matters]
Fox News' Laura Ingraham Asked Davis: "Which Kids That You See On The Playground Shouldn't Be There?" After Davis' filibuster in June, frequent O'Reilly Factor guest host and Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham tweeted to Davis, "Which kids that you see on the playground shouldn't be there?":

Rear-facing infant seats are smaller and plug into a base that stays in your car so you can take your sleeping baby out of the car without waking him. Make sure yours is compatible with your stroller.
Convertible car seats stay installed in your car but do double duty by allowing an infant to ride in the rear-facing position for the recommended time period, from birth until he turns 1 or weighs at least 20 pounds (though longer is better). The seat can then be turned around to the forward-facing position.
Forward-facing seats also stay installed in your car, but are designed for children 1 year or older and 20 pounds or heavier.
We Tell Parents To Look For:
Easy installation Proper installation is essential for safety. Look for features like level indicators that help make it foolproof.
Front harness adjusters Trying to adjust a harness behind the baby is like doing it with your eyes closed.
Extra safety features The age and safety rating of your vehicle will determine if your car seat needs added safety features, such as side-impact protection

Madonna born
On this day in 1958, Madonna Louise Ciccone, the entertainment icon later known around the world by her first name only, is born near Detroit, Michigan. After rising to stardom as a pop singer and dancer in the 1980s, Madonna added acting to her resume, with roles in such films as Desperately Seeking Susan, Dick Tracy, A League of Their Own and Evita. The provocative performer, who often tackled sexual and religious themes in her work, also became famous for her ever-changing hairstyles and fashion sense as well as her personal life, which remains an ongoing source of fascination to the tabloid media.
Madonna was raised in a Catholic family in the suburbs of Detroit. After dropping out of the University of Michigan in 1978, the future "Material Girl" moved to New York City to become a dancer. She burst onto the music scene in 1982 with her dance single "Everybody," which was followed by her self-titled debut album in 1983. She performed the title track of her second album, Like a Virgin, at the first MTV Video Music Awards in 1984, wearing her trademark "Boy Toy" belt. Like a Virgin, Madonna's first album to reach the No. 1 spot on the music charts, was followed by True Blue (1986) and Like a Prayer (1989), both of which also reached the top of the charts and helped establish her as one of the best-selling artists of the 1980s. Other albums have included Bedtime Stories (1994), Ray of Light (1998), Music (2000), American Life (2003), Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005) and Hard Candy (2008). In March 2008, the chameleonic hitmaker was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Madonna made her acting debut in Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), which was followed by Shanghai Surprise (1986), co-starring her first husband, Sean Penn,and Who's That Girl (1987). In Dick Tracy (1990), Madonna acted opposite Warren Beatty, with whom she became romantically involved during filming. In 1991, she starred in Madonna: Truth or Dare?, a behind-the-scenes documentary about her "Blonde Ambition" tour. In 1992, Madonna caused a scandal with her Erotica album as well as a controversial, adult-themed book of photos titled Sex. Also that year, she appeared on the big-screen in A League of Their Own, a well-received movie about an all-female baseball league, co-starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis and Rosie O'Donnell.
In 1996, Madonna took on her most ambitious role yet, playing Eva Peron, the celebrated former first lady of Argentina, in the film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Evita. She received a Golden Globe for Best Actress for the performance. In 2000, Madonna appeared in the critically derided The Next Best Thing, playing a woman who has a child with her gay best friend (Rupert Everett). In 2002, she starred in another bomb, Swept Away, directed by her second husband, Guy Ritchie (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch).
In addition to her acting credits, Madonna's music has been included on numerous movie soundtracks, including Die Another Day (2002) and Get Smart (2008). She made her directorial debut in 2008 with a film titled Filth and Wisdom.

Top 10 Countdown - Week Three List
Fan Vote - Greatest Combo in Pitt History: Hugh Green and Rickey Jackson (34% of the vote)
Arguably the most devastating defensive end tandem in college football history, Hugh Green and Rickey Jackson ran roughshod over opponents during the 1979 and 1980 seasons. In Hollywood movie terms, this was the equivalent of having Darth Vader and the Predator on the same defense--there was simply no escape. As seniors in '80, the pair spearheaded the nation's No. 1 defense and combined for an incredible 260 tackles, 29 sacks and eight fumble recoveries.

Hello all, long time no type. Here are some highlights of my time at Finish Line.
For those who may not know, Finish Line is a chain of mall-based retail stores selling premium athletic shoes and apparel. Finish Line has also partnered with Macy's to run the athletic shoe department in Macy's stores. Finish Line's corporate headquarters is located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Due to confidentiality reasons, I cannot explicitly state some of the specifics about the project in which I am involved. I can tell you that Finish Line is currently overhauling most of our key systems such as IT, supply chain, etc. I report directly to our V.P. of Strategy who is currently managing the project. As can be imagined this project will last many months and is one of the largest capital projects ever undertaken by Finish Line.
I've been very fortunate to be put into this position. Though my background is in project controls and project management, I have not worked on a project of this scope and complexity. It's fascinating to see how so many different departments have to cooperate in order to make these monumental changes to our company. Some of my responsibilities include helping manage the schedule, updating the project's financials, and measuring our progress to see if we are working as efficiently as possible. I've also been tasked with creating commercials and songs to highlight our new company initiatives to our over 600 stores throughout the country. Another intern and I are busy at work on this really exciting project (look out for "Does your (supply) chain hang low?" on the radio).
My classes at Krannert played a very important role in me landing and excelling in my internship. Accounting and finance have come in handy when organizing the financial information about the project. (She's a CPA so I know I have to be on my game.) My operations models class and supply chain management class have also helped me understand many of the objectives of this project and allowed me to provide important commentary.
What is remarkable to me about Finish Line is the incredible company culture. For instance, just a few days ago we engaged in a company-wide game of Tug of War to raise money for Make a Wish. Since we are an athletic shoe retailer, it's perfectly acceptable to wear athletic shoes to the office – as long as they are sold by Finish Line, and yes people will know and will comment if you wear non-FL shoes. Finish Line is also a huge sponsor of the Indiana Special Olympics and all employees were encouraged to take a paid day off to volunteer during the Indiana Special Olympics. Finish Line is truly a very unique place to work.
Thanks for reading, and as always Boiler Up!
MBA, Class of 2014

Lolli Attack
The Lolli Attack is an aggressive opening for white in the Italian game when black defends with the two knights defense. Instead of immediately sacrificing the knight on f7, white instead plays d4, sacrificing another pawn and then castling kingside.
This is very similar to the Fried Liver Attack, but castling on the kingside gives white another powerful piece, the rook, involved into the attack. Regardless of how black defends, white will look to sacrifice his knight on f7 and the start the assault against the black king.

blinkweb necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 13 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
We need a new homepage design to have a web 2.0 feel to it. We're a new web 2.0 startup company that specializes in keyword generation and keyword research. Our web based application, Keyword Elite, is the service/tool we plan on selling. A VERY detailed description of what we want is in the "read the brief" section of this listing. We took the time to be very detailed, as we know exactly what we want. So, this should better help you create something :-) Thanks!
Keyword Elite by Bryxen Software, Inc.
Things to note about
what sort of design we like:
- Should have a web 2.0 look and feel
- Light colors are a plus. White
backgrounds look nice
- Should contain a new and improved
version of our current logo. You can see it on the box at http://www.keywordelite.com. This site
layout is horrible, so completely ignore it. We don't have the PSD of the
logo, so you'll just need to create it from scratch and improve on it.
It's very basic, so shouldn't be difficult.
- We like the shiny/glassy look for
images, buttons, etc.(This text should go
in the header)
Keyword Elite 2.0
All New and improved!
(This should be the
main headline on the site)
"Uncover The Keywords That Will Make You Money!"
(This text should go
somewhere prominent on the site)
- Over 20 times faster
- Access it anywhere in the world
- Now PC or Mac compatible
- Low cost
(You should have a spot where visitors can click something to read TONS
of testimonials from users. We have hundreds and it should be obvious to visitors
to click it to read the testimonials)
The top right should have something similar to this:
It is a membership website, so on the very top right there should be
the login section like this:
(Bottom should have a
similar "layout" as the bottom of keywordspy.com as shown here: http://screencast.com/t/xA1gCokqrr)
(The navigation links
should be: Why Keyword Elite? How do I use it? Proof Keyword Elite works! Try
Keyword Elite!)
(When each link is
clicked, it should display different content. See below for what content it
should display for each navigation linkJ
Why Keyword Elite?
Right now, there are ordinary people just like you, who are
virtually shoveling incredible amounts of money with just keyword phrases and
pay per click advertising, into their bank accounts.
"By incredible, I mean, a whopping four, five or even a
six-figure income each and every month, using nothing but a computer and one
'jealously guarded' little software that builds massive lists of relevant
keywords with the click of a mouse."
5 Important Facts About Pay Per Click Advertising You Must
Know To Survive Online...
Fact #1 - Pay per click advertising is one of the most
powerful ways to reach your target audience (people who are looking for
something to buy) because it can put your marketing message in front of over 1
billion users online in only a matter of minutes!
Fact #2 - Advertising through pay per click generates a
higher than average response and sales.
Fact #3 - The key to success with pay per click advertising
is to build MASSIVE, quality keyword lists and unleash them on to the search
engines and on to your target market.
Fact #4 - Pay per click advertising allows
"anyone" to make an income from home, privately, and watch it grow
into CEO level income! (Yes, if you have
a job right now, you can bet your lunch money that if you follow what I say,
you can make more money than the overpaid CEO of your company!)
Fact #5 - Keywords are the building blocks of the
internet. Without them, you couldn't
find a darn thing...but with them you can dominate the search engines and suck
in traffic and income like clockwork.
The Secret Is In The List...The Keyword List!
That's because these "PPC Marketers" (pay per
click marketers) use their keyword lists to advertise any and every product
that you can possibly think of online.
And All they do compile those keywords and advertise other
people's products -OR- their own
using tiny text ads through advertising networks like Google Adwords, Yahoo
Marketing Solutions and others.
...And they're making a great living online, without a
website, without an email list and without any formal 'business' to speak of.
Advertising this way gives you direct access to over
1 BILLION "money-in-hand" internet users
(actually it's 1,173,109,925 internet users worldwide
according to InternetWorldStats.com)
Imagine... capturing just a small fraction of the spending
power of those people!
We're talking millions of potential smackerooz in your
pockets if you follow what I'm saying.
Now, I'm pretty sure that by now you're probably thinking
that it all sounds so great but it's probably really difficult to do... but
guess what? It's not difficult at all!
How do I use it?
There's simply no other keyword research/generation tool on
the internet that will allow you to do the things I'm about to show you,
So, sit back, relax and take note of all of the literally
life changing features you're about to learn about.
(Somehow display the
following 4 main features. Maybe with tabs or something? Don't use the
layout/format I'm showing below. I just took this off of our current site. We
want it to look completely different)
Proof Keyword Elite
(Here you should list
all the testimonials we have. For now, just have a few "fake" testimonials and
we'll add ours after your design is finished. Organize it in a way to
accommodate 100+ testimonials.)
Try Keyword Elite!
(This link should take
the user to the order form. You don't have to design that. Just take them to a
URL I'll give you later.)

Turnovers Doom Little Giants in Hoop Exhibitionby Brent Harris • November 6, 2010 Share:
The Wabash basketball team showed it could stay even in most areas with Division I scholarship program Indiana State University. The Sycamores took advantage of 21 Little Giant turnovers to score 27 points in a 71-60 exhibition victory over Wabash Saturday in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Wes Smith (right) scored 21 points to pace the Wabash scoring effort. He also led the Little Giants with nine rebounds and had three steals and three assists.Senior guard Dominique Thomas added nine points, while newcomer Pete Nicksic tossed in seven. Junior Aaron Zinnerman added six points and three assists in the game.
Dwayne Lathan led the Sycamores with 18 points, scoring 11 from the free throw line. Jordan Printy was 4-of-7 from the field in an 11-point effort.
The Little Giants trailed 41-33 at the half after taking an early three-point lead over the host ISU squad. The Sycamores stretched their halftime advantage to 19 points before Wabash trimmed it to the 11-point final. ISU only outscored Wabash by three in the final period.
Wabash opens the 2010-2011 season on Tuesday, November 16 at home against Marian University with the opening tip at Chadwick Court set for 7:30 p.m.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The current lull in the Gaza war has given the mainstream media the opportunity to focus on images of widespread destruction and high death tolls, and to blame it all on Israel.
Unfortunately, in both cases , most reporters rely on information provided them by Hamas, of which any reasonable observer would be skeptical, at best.
While many people certainly have lost their lives in Gaza, without a bit of fact-checking and providing proper context, it can be all too easy to accuse Israel of perpetrating a massacre.
Gaza's Hamas-run Ministry of Health claims that well over 1,000 people have been killed so far in the current war, and has been releasing a regularly updated list of names.
A thorough analysis of that list by Meir Amit Intelligence and Information Center concluded that a little less than one-third could be confidently classified as combatants, another third were definitely civilians, and the role of the last third could not be reasonably identified.
The problem is that Hamas purposely conceals whether or not the deceased were combatants, and so can make up any figure it wants when publicizing the percentage of civilians killed. Furthermore, a great many of those taking up arms again Israel do so in civilian garb, and so are counted among the civilian deaths.
Separate analyses by several Israeli bloggers noted that at least 75 percent of the names appearing on the Hamas-provided casualty list are males between the ages of 18–60 (men of fighting age), which is odd given that that demographic only makes up 20 percent of the overall Gaza population. The finding would suggest that Israel has been successful in its effort to avoid civilian deaths.
One of those bloggers dug just a little deeper and found that a great many names appearing on the casualty list were duplicates. Hamas has been inflating its casualty figures for the sake of Western media consumption, and reporters eager to stir heated emotions haven't bothered to do even basic fact-checking.
And that brings us to the issue of demolished civilian buildings. Over the past few days, media outlets have hastened to report on the number of apartment buildings, family homes and public facilities flattened in the Israeli counter-offensive.
Again, this is typically done out of context, giving the impression that the Israeli army is arbitrarily bombarding civilian areas as a means of collective punishment.
The truth looks a little different.
Last week, we published a video provided by the IDF demonstrating why it decided to bomb a Gaza hospital that had been commandeered by Hamas, and showing that it only did so after confirming that no civilians remained in the building.
The following video reveals one of the reason that so many civilian homes have been targeted:

On October 7, at its national conference in Boston, the National Organization of Minority Architects honors Stull and Lee with a lifetime achievement for the firm's work in architecture and advocacy.
The BSA recently spoke to David Lee FAIA—a partner of Stull and Lee, a past BSA president and its 2000 Award of Honor recipient—about his favorite and current projects, the economy and his love of music.
Which of your projects are you the most proud of?
Ever the optimist, whenever I'm asked that question, I want to say, "My next one." When piano player Keith Jarrett one night asked Miles Davis why he didn't perform his familiar ballads more often, Miles famously replied, in his raspy voice, "Because I love them too much." Miles was always exploring and challenging himself to do something else. I'd like to think I have that gene—that I could always do something better. But in terms of what's done, there are two projects.
On the urban-design scale, there's the Southwest Corridor transit project. As coordinating architects and urban designers, we conceived the notion of creating a linear park that would link important sites along the way and evolve over time. It's a real jewel, and I'm proud of what it has done to stimulate development and revive several neighborhoods that had gone into decline because of the uncertainty around the originally proposed highway project.
I'm also proud of our collaboration with William Rawn Associates on a mixed-use building at Northeastern [University] called Building F. We were responsible for the design of the John D. O'Bryant African-American Institute, which, for many years, had been a major gathering place for Northeastern students of color. We created a visually distinct identity with some very iconic features for the institute, while working with Bill to make sure it all worked together as a total composition. The university uses many of those facilities for general classrooms, so now African-American and other students of other ethnic descents used to being in classrooms dominated by Western-civilization imagery get to spend time in meeting rooms and computer rooms that are visually related to Cape Verdean, African and African-American themes as well.
What are you working on right now?
Locally, we have teamed up with GUND Partnership to work with principal developers Elma Lewis Partners on a site near Ruggles Station. Elma Lewis was an important African-American cultural figure in Boston, and we'll be working on a mixed-use development that includes retail and office space, as well as a museum and cultural center that is a continuation of her work.
Nationally, we are co-leading a project with Sasaki Associates in Pittsburgh's Hill District, which is a historically significant African-American community. The neighborhood was home to many important musicians—Billy Eckstine, Ahmad Jamal, George Benson—as well as many Negro Baseball League teams, most notably the Pittsburgh Crawfords.
It's been such a difficult last few years for architects at all stages of their careers. Have you ever thought about leaving the profession?
When I first got to college and discovered advertising design and industrial design, I thought, That's pretty cool. And Mad Men has only reinforced the appeal of the creative side of advertising.
Another time that comes to mind is one day much later in my career. I was now a firm principal in Boston, and it was raining and miserable outside. I had been asked to consider applying for the deanship of the University of Southern California, and I remember looking out the window and thinking, If I could quit this job, I would. But as the boss, that's hard to do.
On a more serious note, I will say that I never expected at this point of my career to be challenged in the ways that we are. The competition is fierce. People are slashing fees and providing free services. Big firms are going after jobs they never would have chased in the past. It's ugly.
Having taught at the Harvard GSD, MIT and RISD, I know how hard architecture students work and how much it costs them to get through school. So to see them graduate and not be able to find a job is so painful. And it's just as painful to see talented professionals with lots of energy and experience—never mind families to support—also struggling.
I have to admit I am frustrated with the Obama administration, as much as I support him and what he said he was going to do. The fact that they have not stood their ground on using the infrastructure spending to help the country as a whole is really disappointing. I don't think we are going to look back 30 years from now and see anything that compares to national achievements like the Hoover Dam, the Merritt Parkway or some of the other wonderful WPA-era buildings.
What should the BSA be using ArchitectureBoston to talk about right now?
Job creation.
One of my colleagues while I was teaching at the GSD was Margaret Crawford, who did a studio once where she challenged the students and the City of Cambridge to come up with 100 good ideas around urban-design issues.
Given that the BSA is 143 years old, let's ask for 143 creative ideas to get architects back to work. The ideas should be double-bottom-line approaches, so there are social and economic benefits as well as design benefits. Who wouldn't be compelled to submit something worthy of making that list of wonderful projects that would get people working and celebrate what we are capable of achieving?
We know you love music. What are you listening to on your iPod these days?
I heard Allen Toussaint interviewed on NPR and downloaded his stuff right away. I'm about to meet up with some high school buddies to descend on New York City. As we were emailing back and forth, I was listening to "Jelly, Jelly" by Billy Eckstine and the Count Basie Orchestra, and its big-band thing sounded so good to me, I told them that's my pick hit for the day. My favorite recent album, which is just a great grown-up album, is by Joe Sample and Randy Crawford. It's called Feeling Good, and it's just a most amazing and beautiful album.

New Weather Station Signals an End to Project on U.S. Hwy. 50EL DORADO COUNTY – Caltrans announced today that a new Roadway Weather Information Station (RWIS) has been installed west of South Lake Tahoe, officially marking the completion of a project to improve U.S. Highway 50 over the Echo Summit.
The new RWIS will be on line for the upcoming winter season. Weather data from this station assist in dispatching Caltrans resources more effectively while helping Caltrans inform motorists of fast-changing travel conditions.
"This was a monumental accomplishment by all involved," said Acting Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. "Caltrans and C.C. Myers Inc. crews worked around-the-clock in harsh storm conditions to replace the barrier walls quickly."
Caltrans fully closed Highway 50 in May to replace old rock wall barriers with concrete barriers that meet current safety standards. After re-opening several days ahead of schedule, crews continued to work hand-finishing the concrete barriers, replacing drainage systems, and installing the RWIS. This project was funded in part ($1.8 million) by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act).
The new walls feature a rock-like texture that blends into the natural beauty.
A mile-long section of Highway 50 at Echo Summit was also repaved to give motorists a smoother, safer ride on their way to and from Lake Tahoe.
California has obligated nearly $2.6 billion in Recovery Act funding to nearly 1,000 highway, local-street, and job training transportation projects statewide. For more information on the Recovery Act, please visit: http://www.dot.ca.gov/Recovery. For additional information on the project, see www.Way2Tahoe.com

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Ninth-ranked Pepperdine scored a pair of first half goals and added a penalty kick in the second half en route to a 3-0 shutout win over UC Santa Barbara on Friday night at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium.
The Waves (7-0-2) jumped out to a 1-0 lead on the Gauchos (3-5-1) at the 14:58 mark of the first half when Michelle Manning took a ball that was deflected by a UCSB defender and drove it home from about 15 yards out in the upper-right portion of the penalty box.
Less than eight minutes later, at 22:37, Myriah Stockman made it 2-0 Pepperdine. She received a pass from Lynn Williams and blasted a shot from 20 yards out, beyond a diving Makenna Henry and into the lower left portion of the goal.
The final score came in the 59th minute. Williams took a perfect pass and went one-on-one with Henry, the Gauchos' goalkeeper. Henry slid into the ball, upended Williams and was called for a foul in the box. Manning took the penalty kick and tucked it into the left hand side of the goal to make it 3-0.
Statistically, the game was fairly even. Pepperdine attempted nine shots, five on goal, while UCSB had eight, four on frame. Waves' goalkeeper Roxanne Barker was outstanding with four saves. Erin Ortega led the Gauchos with three shots, one on goal.
Santa Barbara returns to action on Sunday, Sept. 18 when it hosts Nevada in a 1:00 p.m. game at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium. Tickets are available one hour before game time, at the Ticket Office in the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus or online by clicking here.

That is the question that Kim Kincaid posed as a followup to my last post:
Do you recommend sending your work to these shows? Is it worth the expense?The short answer is yes and yes. Juried shows such as those sponsored by the Society of Illustrators, Communication Arts, Spectrum and 3x3 are long running showcases of the best art the illustration industry has to offer. They are tough to get into because they are very competitive and only what was deemed the best gets in, so acceptance really means something. From the beginning of my career, I have entered these types of shows and I can credit early acceptance in CA and the Society shows for jump starting my career. It seems that every time I get in one of these shows, I get at least one project that I would not have otherwise landed. People look to these annuals every year to see what is good of at least what the hot trends are. Lets take a look at the pros and cons of entering these types of juried shows.
- Exposure. Your work gets seen by thousands of people who may otherwise not have noticed your work. Art buyers, creative directors and designers across the country wait every year for these annuals. If you get in, your work will be seen, and in a way that is impossible to get by any other method.
- Credibility. Your work is grouped with the best art produced in that particular year. Your piece will be seen adjacent to some of the most respected artists in the industry, therefore, by association, YOU are one of the most respected artists in the industry. It doesn't matter if you have been a professional for 2 years or 20, your work was good enough to get in and that carries with it weight and respect.
- Validation. Let's be honest, No matter that most of us would do art even if we never won anything, it feels good when others recognize your work for the quality it displays. When we win awards such as these, we can't help but feel vindicated and that in turn motivates us to push even further to improve even more.
- Cheap Advertising. This is a Catch 22 since if you don't get your work in, you can feel like you wasted your money. But, if you DO get in, these annuals offer the cheapest exposure you can get. Full page spreads in a publication such as Communication Arts can cost thousands of dollars if you bought it yourself, but acceptance in an annual show can give you the same coverage for pennies on the dollar.
- Expensive To Enter. Justifying the expense seems to be the biggest deterrent to entering juried competitions and I admit that I feel it every time I enter. It can feel like you are metaphorically flushing your money down the drain when you shell out $35- or so per entry. Compound that price by several or even a dozen entries and the price starts to feel painful. I look at the entry fees as the price of doing business in the industry. I treat it as an advertising expense. I am paying for the chance to be seen in one of the annuals. There is no guarantee of getting in though, so I could be kissing that cash goodbye (which has happened plenty of times in the past).
- Too Much Trouble to Enter: There are always deadlines and sometimes the entry process seems complicated. I have felt this and even avoided entering certain competitions from time to time because of this. The good news is, many of the most popular competitions have switched to online entry processes which makes entering far more simple than in the past. Gone are the days when you had to have a tear sheet of your work (or have your work photographed and printed) and then fill out all the forms by hand, package the pieces and FedEx them across the country because you procrastinated the deadline and couldn't send them by snail mail. Now you upload your JPEG into the proper category and even pay online. Spectrum is the lone holdout to online entry (come on guys!) but I suspect it will only be a matter of time there.
- Hard to Get Accepted. Very true. Most of these shows attract four to six thousand of entries and only accept a two or three hundred pieces. That is roughly a two percent chance of getting your work into any given show. These odds seem steep because they are. That said, I don't think that should be a deterrent to entry. If you think you are good enough, you should enter. You will never know for sure unless you do.
I may be a little biased because I have had pretty good success of the years getting into these shows. I have been accepted into Society of Illustrators, Communication Arts and Spectrum multiple times and had my work in several other juried shows as well, so it is easy for me to tell you it's worth it. That said, here is my advice to anyone considering whether or not to enter a juried show.
The only guarantee I have is that if you don't enter, you won't get in.
Be smart about what you enter and which shows you target. Your style may be much better suited to one show rather than another. For instance, I can't remember the last time I entered American Illustration. My style just is not edgy and dark enough for me to feel like I have a reasonable shot at getting in that publication. If you do anything remotely fantasy oriented, then Spectrum is for you and so on. Budget money every year just for entries so that you don't feel like you are spending money you don't have. I figure if I have a few hundred bucks I can dedicate to getting show exposure, then it is much easier to justify the fees when they roll around. Only enter your very best work. The scatter gun approach doesn't really work here. It's too expensive to just throw out everything and see what sticks. Just go with what your gut tells you is your best. If that is three pieces, then enter three. I entered one piece in Spectrum the first year I got in. Don't get discouraged when you don't get in. It's hard to not take it personally when you thought you entered some good stuff, but that is how it goes. Juries are subjective and what didn't get in one show might get in another or get in the same show another year. Just keep doing your best work and entering your best pieces. The cream always rises to the top. I am still looking for that elusive medal, but I have to be pleased that getting in the shows is a significant accomplishment. Someday maybe. That is why I keep entering.
Hope that answers your question Kim! If anyone else has a different opinion or something else to add, please comment!

Near Northside Master Plan (pdf)
MPHA's Elders Community Center and Senior Assisted Living Facility
As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), The Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) has been awarded two U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Capital Fund Recovery Competition (CFRC) grants totaling almost $20.2 million. Construction on these two new facilities is expected to be substantially complete in 2012.
Heritage Park Background Neighborhood Information
The Heritage Park redevelopment on Minneapolis' near northside is transforming a 145-acre vacant site that formerly contained the Sumner Field, Glenwood, Lyndale and Olson public housing developments into a stable, affordable and sustainable urban neighborhood on the western doorstep of Minneapolis' downtown area.
This new 145 acre, 900-housing-unit development is based upon the best Minneapolis housing design traditions. Housing types include single-family homes, duplexes, garden apartments, townhouses and carriage houses. Earlier phases of this redevelopment are complete with both rental and ownership units.
The successful completion of this project will result in a mixed-income, mixed-density, culturally diverse and amenity-rich neighborhood. The total estimated cost of the project, approximately $225 million (roughly divided between $75 million in public infrastructure costs and $150 million for housing development), is supported by numerous public and private funding sources including the federal Housing and Urban Development Department, the State of Minnesota, Hennepin County, the Metropolitan Council, the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority, and the City of Minneapolis.

The U.S. deficit may be on track to fall to its lowest level in seven years – and that could help the economy by keeping a lid on interest rates.
The combination of rising tax revenue and, to a lesser extent, constraints on federal spending are pushing the national deficit down. And soon it could even reach prerecession levels.
The Congressional Budget Office projects the deficit to drop to $514 billion in the fiscal year that ends in September. The Wall Street firm Deutsche Bank is even more optimistic, estimating the deficit could dwindle to $465 billion, according to its latest forecast.
That's a huge drop from the $1 trillion-plus annual deficits that prevailed from 2009 to 2012. The last time the deficit was that low was in 2007, when it totaled $342 billion.
In fiscal 2013, the deficit sank to $680 billion. About 80% of the reduction was tied to faster economic growth that generated a larger tax windfall for the government, Deutsche Bank estimates. Lower federal spending accounts for the rest of the decline.
A shrinking deficit means the U.S. Treasury won't have to sell as much debt, Deutsche Bank senior economist Carl Riccadonna points out. And that lessens the need for the Treasury to raise interest rates to attract buyers.
The steepening drop in the deficit arguably could not come at a better time, with the Federal Reserve moving to end a bond-buying stimulus program that's kept U.S. interest rates ultra-low for years.
The pullback by the Fed is eventually expected to nudge rates higher, perhaps choking off some economic growth by making it most costly for Americans to buy homes and cars and other consumer goods. Businesses would also face the prospect of higher costs of investment.
Yet fewer sales of Treasurys could alleviate the pressure on rates to rise – and keep the recovery on solid ground.
For the latest on the nation's fiscal health, check out the Treasury statement for April issued at 2 p.m. Eastern. The U.S. is likely to post the biggest monthly surplus since 2008 – April typically produces surpluses because of the annual deadline for tax filings.
