Rogue Angel
Rogue Angel is a paperback series of novels published bi-monthly since July 2006 by Harlequin Publishing's Gold Eagle division and written under the house name of Alex Archer. Actual authors are credited with small notes inside the books, but not on the front covers or spines. The main character is Annja Creed. Each novel offers an adventure based on history or mythology, with a heavy fantasy slant.
Although these books can be read individually as discrete adventures, when read in order some continuity of character development and sub-plots is apparent.
Typically, each volume is named for a historical or mythological artifact around which the plot revolves. The plot structure tends to be formulaic: The heroine discovers the item in question, only to have it stolen by, or be herself abducted by, the villain or a more nebulous third party, motivated by their believing that it holds some special power or significance. In the course of the story, the heroine and the reader often learn a little more about some historical period and the people who lived in it.
Series history[edit]
The series was first envisioned by Randall Toye, a Harlequin executive who fell in love with the history concerning Joan of Arc and wanted to develop the idea of a present-day Joan. Veteran action-adventure editors Feroze Mohammed and Nicole Brebner teamed up with Mel Odom to flesh out their series.
The first eight novels were written by Mel Odom and Victor Milan. New writers joining the series starting with book nine include Jon Merz, Michele Hauf, Jean Rabe, and Joseph Nassise.
Rogue Angel's premise and execution displays similarities with earlier franchises such as the Witchblade comic book (published since 1995) and TV series (2001-02), Tomb Raider (1996-present), and Outlanders (1997–present).
Annja Creed[edit]
Annja Creed is a world-traveling archaeologist with a penchant for adventure, lost cities, mysterious codes and puzzles, and shadowy history that was never recorded. Heir to Joan of Arc's mystic sword, Annja finds herself drawn into the webs of darkest villainy with lives on the line.
After growing up in an orphanage, where she developed a love of history—primarily because she didn't know her own history—as well as an interest in martial arts, Annja scored high enough to earn a full-ride college scholarship and studied diligently. She's achieved a Masters in Archeology, concentrating on medieval and renaissance time periods, and has specialized knowledge in anthropology, botany, art, and is perpetually a student of things that come her way. Her first major dig while in college was at Hadrian's Wall in England where the Romans battled the Picts.
Once she had her degree, Annja worked hard to gain recognition and finally caught a lucky break on the David Letterman Show. She's beautiful, charming, and extremely intelligent.
Within days of the Letterman appearance, Annja was offered a job working as a host on Chasing History's Monsters, a syndicated television show specializing in sensationalizing the stories of vampires, serial killers, mythic beasts, mass murderers, and pop culture legendary beings.
Although Annja tries to bring a certain amount of factual material to the episodes she hosts, she invariably gets remembered (if she gets remembered at all, since the other hostess of the show was hired for her generous figure) more for the unbelievable aspects of the show than for any concrete details she reveals. This frustrates her, but the salary and expense account involved allows her to travel a lot and ensures she has a high public profile that brings other jobs her way.
In addition to the field work and the television career, Annja also researches COAs (certificate of authenticity) for different museum pieces and items in private collections. She's written several articles and a few books.
Her current base of operations is in a loft in Brooklyn, New York.
The Sword[edit]
When Joan of Arc was burned at the stake for heresy, her sword was shattered by an English soldier. Two men who were her body guards, were cursed to scour the ends of the earth to find the pieces and reassemble the sword. Joan was a Champion, one whose fate was tied closely to the struggle against the darkness that always lies in wait.
Annja was on hand when the final piece was found, and again when the pieces were all put together. At her touch, the Sword reformed and became magically tied to her. She has the ability to place the Sword in "otherwhere", where it cannot be seen or taken by others, and draw it out with just a moment's notice.
No one can take the Sword from Annja. Even when she throws the blade at a foe, she can call it back to her hand. Time and space mean nothing to the Sword. It serves Annja and may, although no one is certain yet, draw evil to Annja so that it can be destroyed. It enhances her ability to heal and improves her constitution.
Roux is an old man apparently in his sixties who has been alive even longer than the five hundred years he admits to. He loves golf and Texas Hold 'Em poker. He lives in a castle-like mansion outside of Paris, France. He has a mentor relationship with Annja, but draws the line at ever becoming a father figure. Although he will help Annja on occasion, he wants her to be strong, fierce, and independent. Annja just wants to interview him and see the things he's seen. He's operating on his own agenda, tracking down various items purported to have magical powers, and sealing them away from the world. And if he has to entice Annja and lie to her about it, he'll do that. Roux's a man that will take care of his own needs first.
Garin Braden[edit]
Garin Braden was Roux's apprentice five hundred years ago. A bastard child, he was ill-treated in his father's house by his father's wife. He was given by his father to Roux at an early age just to get him out of the house. Five hundred years later, he's rich, arrogant, and contemptuous of Roux. Over six foot tall, athletic and masculine, he sports a goatee and long black hair and dark eyes. He's afraid that the reassembly of the Sword has put an end to his longevity, and believes that if the Sword were destroyed again that he might live forever. However, where he was once Annja's bitterest rival for Roux's attention as well as wanting to destroy the Sword, he's found himself respecting Annja Creed more and more.
Doug Morrell[edit]
Doug Morrell is Annja's producer at Chasing History's Monsters. He's 22, self-involved, and doesn't have a clue about history. Nor does he care. In television, as he often reminds Annja, it's all about the ratings. Although he has a good relationship with Annja and they are friends, he's not above guilting her to get her to do what he wants her to do.

Lawsuit Seeks to Ensure Fair Wages for Migrant Workers
Centro de los Derechos del Migrante (CDM) filed a class-action lawsuit Wednesday against the Labor Department to ensure that migrant workers get fair wages. Earlier this year, the department instructed employers that they were required to pay H-2B visa workers market rate wages, but CDM says recently the department reversed this policy and told employers they could pay these workers wages below market value. The lawsuit seeks to overturn this policy change.

Wairarapa College in Masterton was the setting for balloons to launch this morning as the 15th Balloons Over Wairarapa festival continued.
Balloonists competed in the Resene Skittles competition to knock over stacks of paint cans, or throw tennis balls at targets as they lifted off from the college.
Heading south-east, the next test for pilots was to throw a marker onto a cross marked out at Hood Aerodrome.
Last night crowds were entertained at the burner parade in Carterton, where pilots drove through the town centre firing their burners for a night-time spectacle.
The festival began yesterday morning with balloons lifting off in a mass ascension from Carrington Park in Carterton.
A meet the pilots event is held at Hood Aerodrome this afternoon, and the festival continues with a splash-and-dash at Henley Lake on Saturday morning, when pilots will compete in a series of flying tests, and a Night Glow event at Solway Showgrounds on Saturday night.
On Sunday morning balloonists will compete in a flying test involving dropping a marker onto a target at the Carterton Events Centre.

At first i was a little worry due the reputation that the apartments had, but i had just moved here from TX s Read Moreo need so where to stay so moved into them anyway. The first night i was there it was peaceful and quiet and i finally realized no one was going to bother my family . I was also surprised just how fast the maintenance men responded to each issue no matter how small, everyone was friendly and welcoming. I only moved due to needing a yard for my kids and pets but its a ok place.

construction everywhere, maintenance doesn't do there jobs and don't answer after hours for emergencies. Offic Read Moree staff is never to be found when you need them. The advertise there open on Saturday's when there not. It takes months before you get any regular maintenance done. No numbers on the doors lots of theft in the parking lots. No lights in the back parking lots No sidewalks to walk on and the sidewalks they do have are covered in Mud.

Half-price tickets now available for holiday shows across the city
This December the Strand Theatre will be hosting two different companies performing the Nutcracker ballet as well as Hallelujah! Gospel Holiday Explosion. Bargain admission to these Nutcracker shows through mayorsholidayspecial.com represent a fraction of the more than 13,000 half-price tickets smart shoppers can snag to more than 70 of the region's most beloved holiday performances.
Since its inception, the program has welcomed more than 90,000 people to holiday shows — enough to fill Symphony Hall 35 times – saving ticket buyers more than $5 million and reinvesting the same amount back into the arts community.
Running through Jan. 1, the ninth annual Mayor's Holiday Special (MHS) is a one-stop entertainment website, co-created by ArtsBoston and the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau. The website has new offerings every day of half-price tickets on holiday and non-holiday spectacles, dining deals, and a full calendar of local festivities.
"There's no better time than the holidays to enjoy the Boston arts scene," said Mayor Menino in a statement issued by his office. "Whether you're taking in the new sets and costumes at Boston Ballet's The Nutcracker, celebrating the 25th Anniversary of José Mateo Ballet Theatre's The Nutcracker at The Strand, or tapping your toe along with the Holiday Pops, you're sure to create a holiday memory you'll cherish forever, and support local business at the same time."
Other seasonal shows being offered at discount include: Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas at the Citi Performing Arts Center, Black Nativity at Northeastern, Urban Nutcracker at Hancock Hall, and Boston Gay Men's Chorus Hallelujah! at Jordan Hall.
Frugal Celtophiles may want to consider the 10th Anniversary Christmas Celtic Sojourn at the Majestic and an Irish-themed Christmas Revels at Sanders Theatre.
For those who prefer less distinctly Yuletide fare, ART is reviving the musical Pippin, and the Colonial is hosting the 2010 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Memphis about a white DJ and a black songstress.
The Holiday Special site also is offering a free downloadable $10-off restaurant voucher, valid with $40 purchase, that can be used at local eateries like Dot to Dot Café, Freeport Tavern, Pho Hoa and Sea Breeze Mexican Grill.
"Attending a live performance is a fantastic way to get together with friends and family during the holidays," noted Catherine Peterson, Executive Director of ArtsBoston. "And every dollar spent at MHS gets reinvested back into the local arts community helping sustain year-round arts programming for all to experience."
New this year MHS is co-sponsoring the Quincy Market spectacle, Blink! featuring the music of the Holiday Pops, a 6-week state-of-the-art light and sound extravaganza that transforms Faneuil Hall Marketplace every evening. Blink! illuminates Boston's skyline 12 times a night with 350,000 energy efficient LED lights. The LED lights illuminating the 85-foot Christmas tree, the largest in New England, will require only 30 percent of the electricity used in previous years.
Nightly shows begin at 4:30 p.m. and will occur on the half hour with the last show ending at 10 p.m. nightly through Dec. 31st. Details at faneuilhallmarketplace.com.
The half-price ticket quantities are limited, and allotments change daily, so the public is encouraged to visit early and often. Stay up-to-date on added performances and special offers with email and social media alerts on twitter.com/artsboston and facebook.com/artsboston.

Saving money is just as challenging as making money. Yet both are a vital process to financial growth. Having a savings plan in place can help you pay off that lingering credit-card debt, lease a new apartment or even reward yourself with a much-needed vacation. If you were shown how a weekly monetary commitment could help you save $1,378 by the end of the year, would you do it?
Well, let me introduce you to the 52-Week Money Challenge. This practical saving method will help you build healthy money habits and serve as a guide to meeting financial goals.
Here's how it works: This simple step-by-step chart outlines how much to deposit each week for one year, beginning with a $1 deposit during the first week of the year, a $2 deposit during the second week and so on. Some have chosen to work backward and begin with Week 52, decreasing the amount saved each week over time. Whichever way you choose to begin, understand that small steps like this can help lead to long-term financial growth.
If you want your $1,378 by the end of 2013, you'll need to play catch up for the months missed so far. Otherwise, you can start now for any 52-week period. The chart below summarizes exactly how much money you will need to save each month to reach the goal of $1,378 (the totals sometimes go up and down because of the way weeks fall in each month). Good luck and remember: Anything worth having requires patience and dedication.

You may have recently seen a post being shared on social media claiming that it can be deadly to give your dog ice or ice water. But there may not be a lot of truth to the claim.The post states that by giving your dog ice or ice water on a hot day it can cause it to die from bloating and spasms.
We went straight to vets to see if this rumor is true.
Dr. Heather Gleaton from Roper Mountain Animal Hospital says it couldn't be further from the truth.
Ice water can actually be good for your dogs after time outside in the hot weather, said Dr. Gleaton.
If your dog throws up after drinking ice water, it could be because they drank too much. By throwing up, the dog has fixed the internal issue.
Dr. Gleaton says the only scientifically proven thing that will make dogs bloat is extreme exercise right after a meal. Read more here, and check out the gallery of foods you shouldn't feed your dog below.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. hires father as trainer once again for upcoming bout
Las Vegas, NV, United States (4E Sports) – After several ugly bickering, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has hired his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr. as trainer once again for his upcoming fight against a still unknown opponent May 4 at MGM Grand.
Mayweather announced the decision on his Twitter account, including a link of a photo of them together, presumably at his gym.
"Me & my trainer [my dad] back working together getting ready for May 4th," Mayweather tweeted.
Floyd Sr. taught his son to box as a child and trained him in the early part of his professional career before going to prison. While behind bars, his brother, Roger Mayweather, became his son's head trainer.
Mayweather, the pound-for-pound king with an unblemished record of 43-0 with 26 knockouts, and his father had several misunderstandings in the past.
But the most memorable one came during a confrontation in the early days of the preparation for the Victor Ortiz fight in September 2011 which was captured by HBO's "24/7″ documentary show. The episode ended with Floyd Jr. throwing his father out of the gym.
Although they have reconciled after the incident, Floyd Sr. has been given a limited role n his son's training and was not involved in his last two fights against Miguel Cotto last May and Ortiz.
It is unclear whether Roger Mayweather will remain part of the training team. He has medical issues, including diabetes, which might be a reason for the change.
Floyd Sr. has trained several notable fighters in recent years, working with Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Chad Dawson, among others.
The younger Mayweather, who holds titles at welterweight and junior middleweight, is expected to defend his welterweight belt in the May 4 pay-per-view fight.
There were reports that he will face interim titleholder Robert Guerrero but Mayweather surprised many when he announced that fellow welterweight titlist Devon Alexander is the front-runner for the fight.

During the performance -- in which three new works were premiered -- the audience was just as awed, and demonstrated their feelings with wild whoops and cheers. It was an uncharacteristic display of unbridled enthusiasm for the crowd, which included Gayfryd Steinberg, Blaine Trump, Francesco and Alba Clemente, Elizabeth Johnson, Arie and Coco Kopelman, and Lucile Peyrelongue. Joanne Woodward was especially vocal, laughing and sighing all the way through the third dance.
While most of the audience cleared out during intermission, Lesley Stahl and Ross Bleckner stayed put for an animated conversation with each other.
Anne Bass, one of the co-chairs of the evening, made last-minute changes in seating arrangements for the post-performance dinner on the Promenade, and Carolyne Roehm talked about her favorite part of the show.
"It was definitely the red one," she said, referring to Ulysses Dove's "Red Angels." "What was it? Oh, Red Devils! Er, uh Red Angels, I mean. I guess 'devil' was a Freudian slip."

My dad instilled in me a lot of important qualities, the kind any father would hope to pass along to his growing child — determination, an unceasing pursuit of knowledge, a strong work ethic. Not least of these traits, though, is a love of, bordering on obsession with, Mexican cuisine.
Raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, by a Spanish Civil War refugee and an Irish-American expat, my father, Victor, consumes all forms of south-of-the-border cuisine in a seemingly vain attempt to show his European ancestors what they'd been missing out on for centuries.
His solution to fixing any bland dish — be it the Thanksgiving turkey, a glass of diet cola or pasta alfredo — has always been to throw some combination of traditional Mexican ingredients in the mix.
"You know what would really make this ham and cheese sandwich better?" he'd ask my sister and me. "A little salsa."
"Lacking that intangible something? Nothing some avocado and lime can't fix."
So when my dad, after moving to Chicago for a medical internship at St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, Ill., encountered arguably the blandest of bland American dishes, tuna salad, he opted to put his own south-of-the-border spin on the oft-derided dish.
What resulted is a tangy, citrusy take on an American classic that's perfect for hot summer days. Served with chips or on tostadas, the cold salad makes a great appetizer or party snack that — thanks to all the vegetables — tastes fresh and light while still packing a bit of heat.
The ingredients are approximations. Dad's process was always to throw in tomatoes and cilantro and peppers until he got it "just right." The proportions are merely a jumping-off point and can easily be tweaked to the maker's wishes. For those wishing to cut out some of the calories, light mayonnaise can also be substituted in place of regular mayonnaise.

Stitching the Cloth!
Mihir is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
With the oncoming holiday selling season, when people across the globe will be immersed in celebrating Christmas and New Years, it would be interesting to understand and review an apparel portfolio and get insights into the stocks that build it up.
Most of us are aware that the apparel industry houses diverse range of segments, and hence to avoid any confusion, I would specifically be looking at the clothing segment and the stocks that fall there.
Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF) witnessed a surge in its share price after it posted strong third quarter results. This is attributed to an increase in both international and domestic demand. Commendable pricing strategies during the recession, combined with better management of inventory to suit the ongoing fashion trends, paid off in stronger quarterly results. Healthy revenue numbers for Abercrombie & Fitch have pumped up investor and analyst expectations alike as we proceed to a major part of the fourth quarter.
Abercrombie & Fitch reported an increase of 41% from an income of 50.9 million, or $0.57 per share last year to $71.5 million, or $0.87 per share this year. The company is aware of the recession slowing down store sales for most of the apparel retailers, and has taken a break in its expansion plans for better management of inventory.
American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO) displayed strong performance in its last results for the second quarter, with earnings of $0.21 per share, which surged nearly 62% from last year's reporting period. Adjusted net sales increased 11% year over year to $739.7 million, beating the estimate of $738 million. Though Hurricane Sandy impacted the October sales for most of the store-operated chains, the outlook for the rest of the winter season remain positive. The company is scheduled to release it next earnings on Nov. 26. The company has created a mark in innovating its products to sync with ongoing fashion demands.
American Eagle has been consistent in adding value, as it has generated more than sufficient cash flows during the year. The company is currently trading at a P/E ratio of around 25, which is in line with the industry average, showing that it is not overvalued and should move towards the upside in the coming quarters.
Aeropostale (NYSE: ARO), in comparison to Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle Outfitters, sits on a lower market cap, and has a weaker international presence as well. Even though it's a smaller player, the company has sustained the impact of the recessionary trends by confronting it with effective price mix and better management of inventory levels. The recent purchase of GoJane.com for an undisclosed sum will add value to the business, enhancing the brand presence in cyber space.
The company is scheduled to release its earnings sometime at end of this month, and after the strong results posted by Abercrombie & Fitch, the expectations for Aeropostale have gone up. This is based on the belief that Aeropostale would also have take leverage of the reduction in raw material prices, especially cotton, as was cited by Abercrombie & Fitch. In terms of cash flows, the picture is quite positive as the company sits on close to $150 million in net cash flow.
As Gap (NYSE: GPS) is scheduled to release its earnings soon, analysts are expecting an increase in the third quarter earnings. Recent figures have shown that Gap has gained a better understanding of customer taste and trends, serving them with brands like Banana Republic and Old Navy. For the most recent quarter, ended July 28, net sales saw a jump of 6% and diluted EPS increased 40% on a year over year basis.
Gap is one of the largest players in the apparel industry, with a market cap of around $16 billion and an international presence across Canada, Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The company has enhanced its sales by offering various discount offers and fashionable merchandise for men, women, and kids. The company has a well-placed cyber space strategy as it continues to serve its customers with novel products both online and offline.
A key metric that gives a good understanding of performance of the store-operated chains is sales at stores open at least a year, as this does not include results from stores recently opened or closed, which can skew performance metrics. For most of the companies in this industry, sales at stores open at least a year have been positive and shown single digit growth.
The apparel industry has shown signs of improvement in the last few months as the companies have got more sense about customer preferences. Thoughtful price wars along with quicker responses to changing customer demands have played a key role in upping the numbers. Momentum is expected to continue as the holiday season approaches.

Campus ID number: L0023456
Professor: Dr. James W. Jordan
Professor E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Course number in which enhancement applies: Anthropology 314-01
CRN number for course: 30061
Course title: Indians of North America
Number of Credits: 3
Academic Term: Spring 2010
Describe below how you will enhance the course, including a brief description of the subjects covered in the course and what activities or assignment(s) you intend to complete (i.e., length of paper, kind of presentation, etc).
"Indians of North America" is a course focused on Native Americans, their aboriginal arrival into the Americas, as well as their lifestyles, cultures, and practices today. Since my major at Longwood is Pre-Medicine, I would like to focus my research on the medical aspect of these people's lives. I wish to review their medical backgrounds, their diseases before and after European contact, and their practices to cure these illnesses. Centering my work on artifacts uncovered during Longwood archaeological digs at the Staunton River site over the past four years, my major task will involve making a comprehensive listing of those artifacts which had possibly been used for medical purposes. This honors level research would build on work I have completed in other Anthropology courses, especially on my two summers' participation in digs at that site. A summary of my analyses and findings would be presented to the class at the end of the semester and at the Southern Regional Honors Conference in April.

text: WASHBURN, WI (KDAL) - The Bayfield County Sheriff's Department had a busy weekend as they responded to three snowmobile accidents that left 4 people injured. The first was on Friday in the town of Drummond, where a 36 year old Woodville, Wisconsin man was taken to a Duluth hospital with head and chest injuries. Alcohol and high speed were factors in that crash. Also on Friday, an accident in the town of Bell badly injured two snowmobilers, a 28 year old man from Lakeville, Minnesota and a 24 year old man from St. Paul. Both were transferred to a Duluth hospital in critical condition. On Saturday, a snowmobile accident in the town of Bayfield left a 43 year old man from Stillwater, Minnesota with a back injury. He was taken to a Duluth hospital by Life Flight helicopter.

By spring, Metro's bus shelters could both keep you out of the wind and talk to you.
Metro plans to start installing as many as 70 flat screens at bus stops across the system this spring that will display real-time bus arrivals as well as announce the information with audio to help visually impaired riders.
Each screen, with an enclosure designed to keep the electronics safe from the weather, will cost between $5,000 and $30,000 -- or between $350,000 to $2.1 million for the whole lot --depending on the location, Metro spokesman Philip Stewart said. Federal grant funds will pay for the signs.
Patrick Sheehan, chairman of Metro's Accessibility Advisory Committee, says the group has been working to get the signs installed for at least two years.
"We wanted the real-time information because it helps people to know where the buses are and when the next bus is coming, particularly on cold mornings like this. It gives you an idea of how long you're going to wait," he said.
The signs will display bus arrival times as predicted by the company NextBus, bus routes, destinations and MetroAlerts about detours and delays for buses that go to the stops, Stewart said.
The signs will go on bus stops on Metro property, since the agency is responsible for those. Local jurisdictions will have to decide if they want the signs at bus stops along their streets, which they are responsible for, Stewart said. Metro hasn't identified which bus stops will get the signs, though Sheehan said he hopes transit officials will start with major transfer stations.
Arlington County has LED signs at its Shirlington and Crystal City bus bays that display information on Metrobus and Arlington's ART buses. It had signs at the Rosslyn Metro bus bay in 2003, but those have been removed during construction, county officials said.
"We cannot overstate the importance for the riding public to have both schedule information and real-time arrival information available," said Steve Yaffe, Arlington's transit services manager. "Providing this information via the signs has contributed significantly to the growth of ART ridership over the past several years."
Nearly 80 bus stops in Arlington have "bus finders," electronic devices which riders can use to enter a route number and find arrival information.

The Diary of a Voyage to China, 1850-1851, the private diary of Captain Thomas Small, reveals the intense loneliness of command and details the longing he feels for the wife and newborn son he left behind. He comments on marriage, child-rearing, and religion, and frequently expresses his desire to find employment "ashore" to better provide for his family. In addition to these personal entries, he provides rich details of a mid-nineteenth century life at sea.
Spanning five decades, the University of South Carolina's collection of aerial photograph indexes consists primarily of projects commissioned by the United States Department of Agriculture. Showing cities, farms, forests, reservoirs, coastlines, and other features across the state, the indexes provide a visual overview of each project's collection of individual aerial photographs, many of which are housed in the Maps Collection of Thomas Cooper Library.
The South Carolina State Library and the South Carolina Digital Library present the South Carolina Bookmobiles Collection, a collection of historical and contemporary images from the 1940s to the early 2000s. The photographs are from the archives of the South Carolina State Library and many were taken by State Library field agents.
This is a collection of over 700 South Carolina county road maps from 1930s to the 1990s, courtsey of the University of South Carolina Thomas Cooper Map Collection.
This collection contains picture postcards from the early part of the twentieth century that depict scenes across South Carolina. Items in this collection are held by the Greenville County Library System's South Carolina Room.
The South Carolina State Library and the South Carolina Digital Library present the South Carolina Library Buildings Collection, a collection of images of public library buildings in the state from the 1940s-1970s.

The South Caroliniana Library has been collecting photographs of train stations, depots, rail yards, engines, and rolling stock for many years. The images come in as single items, as part of other collections, or as collections of their own. There are also photographs of railways used by the mining and lumber industries. Presented here are photographs pulled from different sources to provide the researcher with a virtual collection of South Carolina railway related photographs.
Since 1911 the South Carolina State Department of Education has published a yearly directory of schools in the state. Information catalogued in each issue is different; some issues include school and district information, Department of Education staff and programs, listings of private schools and colleges, statistics, and state educational associations. These directories provide valuable information about the school buildings and educational leaders in a community. The issues available are from 1912-2010.
This collection of photographs from the early twentieth century shows life on two South Santee River plantations: Hampton and the Wedge. Hampton Plantation was owned by the Rutledge family, including Archibald Rutledge, Poet Laureate of South Carolina. The Wedge plantation was built by William Lucas in 1826, and remained in the Lucas family until 1929. The third scrapbook features photographs from the nearby town of McClellanville.
This comprehensive set of Columbia area images includes 146 prints from periods ranging from 1865 to 1980. The collection was amassed from various long time photographers in the community such as John A. Sargeant, Charles Old and Walter Blanchard. They operated studios in the city from the period c. 1915 through 1960. The images include street scenes, buildings, special activities, and related subjects. Most of the collection consists of copies from original prints. It was donated to the SC State Museum in 1988.

Nikon D7100 Review
Review Date : Fri, 22 Mar 2013
Author : Matt Golowczynski
- Sample Photos: Nikon D7100 sample image gallery
The Nikon D7100 follows on from the popular D7000 and features a number of developments and improvements. Find out how it fares in our full review.
|Superb LCD screen, responsive, excellent specifications, accurate AWB system, intuitive metering system, high degree of customisation offered
|Processing times, locking buttons make dials fiddly, image noise, AF could be faster with kit lens, some aliasing artefacts
(UPDATE: The Nikon D7100 is proving an incredibly popular camera and, on the strength of it's image quality and attractive price point, it's quite easy to see why. During our time testing the camera we compiled a range of sample images, including real world shots as well as studio shots of testing equipment in controlled lighting conditions. Please visit the Nikon D7100 review sample image gallery where we've added a full range of these images, including shots throughout the ISO range of both our resolution chart and our standard diorama.)
Three years ago Nikon announced the Nikon D7000 DSLR, a camera many probably weren't expecting. With the Nikon D90, Nikon D300 and Nikon D300S models already available, it didn't appear as through there would be much demand for a further line of models between the two. Nevertheless, the camera gained much popularity thanks to its high features-to-form ratio, and provided a logical stepping stone for accomplished entry-level DSLR owners looking to take their photography more seriously. And now, Nikon has gathered together some of the features seen in its most recent DSLRs and blended them with a handful of new ones to create the Nikon D7100 successor.
With revisions made to the sensor, LCD, AF module and video functionality among other things, the camera certainly appears as a more serious upgrade than some other recent models. But is every change welcome, or are some causes for concern?
Nikon D7100 review – Features
As with the current Nikon D5200 the new camera sports a DX-format sensor with 24.1MP, although the two are not the same. With the Nikon D7100, Nikon has omitted the anti-aliasing filter for the benefit of detail retention. Usually this presents issues with false colour patterning and other effects of aliasing, although it's likely Nikon has modified its image processing to account for this. Interestingly this is similar approach to the Nikon D800E released last year, only that particular camera maintained a filter, albeit one with its anti-aliasing properties removed.
While the sensor applies a 1.5x crop factor to any mounted lenses (given that it is smaller than full frame), Nikon has included an additional option on the Nikon D7100 which applies a further 1.3x crop factor at a reduced resolution of approximately 15.4MP. So, a 50mm lens which would ordinarily behave like a 75mm lens would in this mode behave closer to a lens with a focal length of around 98mm - this appears to be particularly useful for telephotography work, wherever more reach is desired.
The sensitivity range offered by the sensor is precisely the same as on the Nikon D7000: a standard ISO 100-6400 range, complemented by extension settings equivalent to ISO 25,600. Considering the sensor's high resolution this is perfectly respectable. Nikon has equipped the model with the same Expeed 3 engine which features in its flagship D4, which handles all image processing tasks and also allows for burst shooting at 6fps, or alternatively 7fps when the 1.3x crop mode is activated.
As we may expect the Nikon D7100 also offers full HD video recording in addition to its stills capabilities, at up to 30fps in full HD (1920x1080) and up to 60fps in standard HD (1280x720). Stereo sound comes courtesy of a pair of microphones nestled in the top-plate, although external microphones can also be plugged into a dedicated socket on the side and mounted into the hot shoe. Furthermore, thanks to a headphone socket beneath this it's also possible to monitor sound during recording.
Significant updates
One of the most significant upgrades the Nikon D7100 has on its predecessor is the camera's AF module; while the Nikon D7000 offered a 39-point system including nine cross-type points, the Nikon D7100 boosts this to 51 points including 15 cross-type points. These cover a reasonably broad range of the frame, although when the camera is set to its 1.3x crop mode the array usefully saturates all but the very top and bottom.
Nikon has chosen the Nikon D7100 to debut a few new features, such as the Spot White Balance option which allows the white balance to be set by measuring a small area of the scene to use as a reference target (in the same way that a Spot metering function bases exposure on just a small part of the scene). The pentaprism viewfinder, meanwhile, which provides 100% coverage of the scene and 0.94x magnification, also now welcomes an OLED panel in place of the previous LCD, which displays details in the finder itself such as grid lines and the leveling function. Nikon claims this has been changed to improve visibility, with an additional amendment being the exposure information below this, from the standard green to an ashy white.
Another change comes with the camera's LCD screen. As with some of Nikon's other most recent DSLRs, the Nikon D7100's display itself is sandwiched with a layer of resin to the outer panel, leaving no air gap in between. The result, Nikon claims, is better visibility than before thanks to lower reflections. At 3.2in the display is also larger in size than the more standard 3in unit found on the Nikon D7000, and it makes use of white pixels for improved brightness and lower power consumption. With an extra white pixel for every red-green-blue triplet, its resolution is at approximately 1,229k dots.

Amarillo, TX - Drillers and law enforcement nationwide are facing theft problems.
Thieves are targeting batteries since they are small and relatively easy to nab with bolt cutters. The fear is that as oil and gas production booms, the temptation to steal will only grow. It doesn't just stop at batteries; metal valves, piping, even crude oil itself is vanishing.
This is running up production costs. In a 2008 study, West Texas counties estimated that oilfield thefts cost drillers $78 million during the previous three years.
In reality, actual costs could be twice that because many thefts go unreported. Law enforcement officers are working with drillers to track stolen equipment.
Drillers can also take their own steps to increase the chances of catching thieves, including branding or painting items with a company seal.
Marked batteries are more likely to raise red flags among honest battery suppliers, helping police reconnect ripped-off drillers with their stolen property.

Some highlights from the American Legion baseball season:
Grand efforts: Alex Memory and Logan Tripp each hit grand slams, the first of their careers, during the Junior American Legion season. Memory's slam in a 17-5 victory June 13 over Hampstead bounced off the black tarp behind the center-field fence at West Brunswick High School. Tripp's slam scored the game-winning runs in the Trojans' 10-0 victory July 11 over Leland Post 68.
Well, I've never been to Spain, but I do like catching Spanish mackerel.
Spanish mackerel are the smaller cousins of the prized king mackerel, a big game fish for which our state is widely known. Although they don't get as large as kings, Spanish are easier to catch, more colorful and better tasting. Like kings, they are a fish of the ocean, not going deep into inshore waters, but roaming close enough to the beach so they are often in range of pier and surf fishermen as well as those with small boats.
It's hot! No more description is necessary to substantiate that claim. Walk outside and you'll be soaked with sweat in a matter of minutes. As a fisherman, it's nice to get off the mainland and onto the water, where the breezes help to soften the heat. The fish thus far haven't seemed to mind the heat too much as they continue to bite.
As a tournament fisherman as well as a tournament operator, I feel I have the highest level of responsibility to ensure the rules of my tournaments are followed.
As such, and with the commitment to uphold the honor and integrity of the Jolly Mon King Mackerel Classic, the tournament committee has made the decision to disqualify the boat Takin It Easy, captained by Cameron Bowers, for failure to comply with tournament rules.
The winner of the tournament is Keith Logan and crew of Logan's Love.

The man who co-authored the widely viewed story about Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o and his girlfriend, who everyone was led to believe died of cancer, was like most -- he believed that Lanny Kekua was a real girl who died a tragic death.
That is until this past Friday when his website Deadspin.com got an anonymous tip.
"This one just said, 'hey you should check out Lannay Kekua, Manti Te'o's girlfriend. It seems like something weird about her,' and it went from there," said Tim Burke, assignment editor with Deadspin.
That's when Burke and co-author Jack Dickey started digging, and what they found has shocked many: the 22 year old many knew as Lanny Kekua did not exist.
Her life, and widely reported death from leukemia, were all a hoax. Notre Dame officials say we should feel sorry for the All American linebacker.
"Manti is the victim of that hoax and he will carry that with him for a while," said Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick.
But Burke, who makes his home in St. Petersburg, isn't so sure that's the case. He says a source told him Te'o was likely in on the scheme, and not an innocent victim.
"To con Manti Te'o over the course of a year with these extraordinary, extravagant, extravagant pranks -- the extent of this hoax as its been described to us by Manti Te'o, it would take over this guy's life," Burke said. "What's in it for him? What does he get out of it?"
He says it's clear what Te'o, a Heisman trophy runner-up, would get.
"Say he was in on the con. We know what he would be guaranteed, you know, all the fame and attention from the dead girlfriend that boosted his national profile," said Burke. "There's an incentive for one person to be involved and there's no incentive for the other person to be involved. Figure out your probability there."
Te'o has released a statement saying he was duped, he but has not gone before the cameras -- yet.
As for Burke, he's less interested in his new found fame and more concerned with what this bizarre story should teach journalists.
"Hopefully this issue leads us to be more critical in our reporting as journalists that we will ask the questions and do the research to prove somebody exists," said Burke.

With everything that was great about the HDX 7 and more, the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 isn't just a great value, it sets the standard for a media consumption tablet.
Is Google building an 8-inch Nexus tablet? All signs point to maybe -- let's see what we know.
Pricing not available
The HTC One M8 Google Play Edition will fulfill the dreams of Android fanatics seeking to pair top-notch hardware with a Nexus-style KitKat experience, so long as they're willing to pay a premium.
Android purists will find Google's mid-sized LG G Pad 8.3 more compelling, but it's pricier than the model that's overlaid with LG's skin.
While the design and price of the Kindle Fire HDX hasn't changed on the outside, its been redesigned inside with a new 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor and 802.11ac MIMO Wi-Fi.
With its speedy and reliable performance, the LG G Pad 8.3 is a solid small-sized tablet, but for non-Verizon customers, the smoother and less expensive Google Nexus 7 is the better choice.
If you're looking for a pure media consumption experience, the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 delivers better than any tablet before it. People looking for something more utilitarian, however, will want to look elsewhere.
It costs a bit more than we'd like, but the Galaxy Tab 3 is Samsung's best non-Note tablet yet.
The smaller 8-inch Windows 8 tablet is a form worth exploring, and the Acer Iconia W3 can be fun to use, but it's also buggy and held back by shortcuts and lackluster features.
Yet another Windows 8 Core i5 tablet, the Acer Aspire P3 has only one thing in its favor: it costs a maximum of $899.

Basketball-W vs. Palm Beach Atlantic
Women's Hoops Uses Second-Half Seasoning to Smoke Sailfish
Modified Dec 14, 2012 07:50 PM
BOCA RATON, Fla. – Lynn University's women's basketball team made up a 10-point deficit to topple Palm Beach Atlantic 56-48 on Friday evening. Kira Harvey led all scorers with 21 points and inched a little closer to joining the 1,000 point club and becoming the all-time leader in three-point field goals. The Fighting Knights improve to 6-2 overall while the Sailfish drop to 2-6.
After an early trey by Harvey, Palm Beach Atlantic tied the game behind Taylor Peterson and later took its first lead, 12-11, following a Kirstie Mason three from the right wing. The Sailfish held court for the remainder of the half, going up by as many as 10, 32-22, before Charla Nelson-James and Tashina Bailey made it 32-28 heading into the locker room.
With a new half upon the Blue & White, Nelson-James and Harvey began to chip away at the PBA advantage, finally breaking through with 9:54 remaining. Harvey nailed her fifth three-pointer of the night to put LU on top 42-41.
The senior from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., needs three shots from behind the arc to become the all-time leader in three-pointers made with 155 and is five-points shy of becoming the ninth player in school history with 1,000 career points.
A slim lead was overturned by Ashley Doleberry but Nelson-James scored two more of her 11 points to put the Fighting Knights back up 46-45. Harvey followed with a jumper in the paint but Doleberry continued to pester with a jumper to tie the game for the third time.
Tifani Kerrison came off the bench to drain her only three from long-range, giving the Blue & White the lead for good, and Tylar Tracy put the game out of reach, after Doleberry's 11th turnover, with a three of her own.
Lynn shot 32.3 percent from the field and forced 23 turnovers, with Tracy logging four steals.
The Fighting Knights return to the hardwood on Monday, December 17, at 5:30 p.m. when they host Cameron. Fans can catch the action live at LynnFightingKnights.com while receiving in-game tweets by following @LUKnights on Twitter and Instagram. Don't forget to 'Like' us on Facebook.

DeMar DeRozan helps Raptors to end 5-game losing streak vs. Warriors
TORONTO -- Whatever Golden State coach Mark Jackson has been telling his team at halftime, it's not working.
DeMar DeRozan scored 25 points, James Johnson had 12 points and a career-high 12 rebounds and the Toronto Raptors rallied to beat Golden State 83-75 on Sunday, snapping a five-game losing streak against the Warriors.
Golden State scored just 11 points in the third quarter, watching a 47-38 lead become a 60-58 deficit.
"We were up (nine)," Warriors guard Monta Ellis said. "To give this game away is terrible."
A frustrated Jackson certainly thought so.
"This one stings," he said.
After scoring a meager 36 points in the second half of Friday's 105-83 loss at Philadelphia, the Warriors were even worse after the break in this one, scoring just 28 points and making only 11 of 40 field-goal attempts.
"It hurts really bad," rookie Klay Thompson said. "This was a very winnable game, a team that we thought we were better than."
Golden State has failed to score more than 18 third-quarter points in losing three of its past four.
"That's four games in a row where we've had bad third quarters," Jackson said. "We knew that coming into this one. We talked about it at halftime. Once again, we were thoroughly outplayed. We didn't execute offensively, we gave them hope and forced us to try and win the game a second time instead of putting them away when we should have. A bad loss."
While Jackson was urging his team to avoid another second half swoon, Raptors coach Dwane Casey was issuing his team a challenge.
"I told them the game is about frustration," Casey said. "It's how we fight through this. Feeling sorry for ourselves, fatigue, it's not that important. What's important is how we approach our job as NBA players. They came out and really faced the challenge."
Amir Johnson had 11 points and 13 rebounds, Leandro Barbosa scored 18 points and Ed Davis grabbed 12 rebounds for the Raptors, who had lost 11 of their last 14.
David Lee had 22 points and 12 rebounds, and Ellis scored 20 points, but Golden State lost for the sixth time in nine games.
"For whatever reason, we're just not shooting the ball well as a team right now," Lee said. "We settled for a lot of jumpshots in the third quarter tonight, myself included."
Golden State made just four of 19 3-point attempts, shot 29 for 80 overall and missed six of 19 free throw attempts.
Ten of Golden State's 14 turnovers came in the second half, and they allowed 18 points on giveaways. The Warriors also scored just one fast-break point.
"We should be running off our stops and we should be taking care of the basketball," Jackson said. "We did none of that."
The Warriors came in averaging 120.2 points in their previous five meetings with Toronto, their longest active winning streak against any opponent.
Lee tied it at 62 on a dunk with 9:59 left, but failed to complete the three-point play. Toronto answered with a 7-0 run to take a 69-62 lead with 8:32 to go.
Golden State trailed 75-71 with just over two minutes left when Amir Johnson fell down clutching his right knee, allowing Nate Robinson to come up with the steal. With Johnson still on the floor, Robinson drove in for a layup but missed. Johnson stayed down as Barbosa drained a 3 from the corner, putting Toronto up 78-71 with 1:55 remaining.
Toronto missed its first six field-goal attempts, but shot 7 for 14 the rest of the first quarter to avoid falling too far behind. Golden State's shooting was just as poor: The Warriors made only eight of 22 attempts in the first, but eight points from Lee gave Golden State a 20-18 lead after one.
Lee scored eight more in the second, while Brandon Rush and Robinson came off the bench to score six points each as Golden State took a 47-38 lead into the half.
Lee scored just two points in the third and the Warriors made just five of 23 field-goal attempts as the Raptors roared back. Barbosa's jump shot tied it at 58 with 58 seconds left in the quarter and, after a steal by Davis, Jerryd Bayless fed DeRozan for a go-ahead alley-oop.
Game notes
Warriors C Andris Biedrins, who came in scoreless in his past three games, was replaced in the starting lineup by Ekpe Udoh. Biedrins was scoreless again in this one, missing both shots he took in six minutes of action. ... Golden State G Stephen Curry (strained tendon in his right foot) dressed but did not play. Curry has played just 3 seconds in the past four games. ... Golden State came in having won 10 of 12 meetings with Toronto dating to the 2005-06 season. ... Lee's double-double was his 19th of the season. ... Jackson played 54 games for Toronto in the 2000-01 season.

ANCHORAGE — The rate of icebergs breaking off from Alaska's Columbia Glacier will significantly slow within eight years, according to a new study. Scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder used a computer model that indicated the tidewater glacier by 2020 will retreat to a new, stable position in shallower water. The glacier, the study said, will achieve "dynamic equilibrium," where the rate of ice accumulation equals the rate of ice ablation, or ice removal. By Dan Joling.
JUNEAU — Republican Bob Bell said Monday that he will seek a recount in his race against Anchorage Democratic Sen. Hollis French. Ballot counting from this month's general election stretched into last week. When the race was certified Friday, it showed French with a 51-vote advantage, 7,593 to 7,542. By Becky Bohrer.
TACOMA, Wash. — The oil boom in the Great Plains states is affecting refineries, ports and other businesses in Washington. Oil trains are delivering crude to refineries in the state as Alaska's production falls. And, there are proposals to export oil from the Port of Grays Harbor to West Coast refineries and possibly Asia.
FAIRBANKS — An administrative law judge is backing a move to stop automatic distribution of residential phone books to Alaska households, generally agreeing with the argument that the directories have become less necessary in a new era of phone service. Alaska Communications had asked the Regulatory Commission of Alaska in June 2011 to allow it to halt mass distribution of the white pages, a practice required by state law. The company argued that in an age when such listings are available online, forcing it to send copies of the white pages to customers was both a hassle and an unnecessary environmental expense. By Jeff Richardson, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.
— MISSING SURVIVALIST — Authorities have suspended a search for a missing 31-year-old survivalist from Wisconsin who set out alone in the Alaska wilderness in late September.

News and Events Details
Jim Dan Hill Library at the University of Wisconsin-Superior is now a "Cooperating Collection" partner of the Foundation Center with a goal of assisting nonprofit organizations.
Being designated a Foundation Center means the library now has access to an extensive database of grant-makers and philanthropists for the public's free use. This database consists of computer access to online grant-making directories of more than 100,000 U.S. grant-makers and 2.1 million grants as well as print resources on fundraising and nonprofit management.
The online resources can be accessed through any computer in the Jim Dan Hill Library, but one computer in the library computer lab has been designated specifically for this purpose and is available for public use. Print resources are located near the computer.
Although a Cooperating Collection is located in Duluth, Jim Dan Hill Library is the first in northern Wisconsin and offers access to Wisconsin grants and grant-makers. Connie Moeller, associate librarian, and Ella Cross, associate professor of library science, along with Sheryl Homan, interim director of continuing education, were instrumental in bringing the Foundation Center resources to the library.
Cross had been seeking a Cooperating Collection for years. When workshops brought the Foundation Center's resources to campus and then left, Cross noticed how much of a need existed in the area for those resources.
"Nonprofit organizations can't afford these resources, so they can use them here," Cross said.
Through their new partnership, library faculty and staff members hope to extend their influence within the community.
"It takes one area that we do as reference librarians and becomes a little more expert," Moeller said.
