So I've been on a Bond kick as of late and I just finished re-reading Casino Royale.
1) I enjoy Fleming's terse, masculine prose. He doesn't waste time describing scenery, which has always been a pet peeve of mine (I find long stretches of Lord of the Rings to be agonizing due to Tolkien's love of topography). There are certain modern authors who would be tempted to stretch out Bond's explanation of baccarat until it read like a manual, but Fleming's Bond sticks with the basics.
Fleming's style also tends to gloss over the decided lack of Bond-ian action. The card game is one of the most tense scenes in the entire book. In lesser hands, it simply wouldn't work. But Fleming understands that less is more, and he doesn't stretch things out.
Even when Bond is feeling melancholic or philosophical things move along nicely. There's a poetry to the way Bond debates the existence of good and evil, and Mathis' rebuttal.
And I think "the bitch is dead" is such a beautiful summary of Bond's tragic experience at the end (and one that transferred brilliantly the big screen).
2.) The philosophy. Fleming portrays Bond's struggle with the nature of good and evil brilliantly. His discussion with Mathis is possibly the highlight of the entire book. And it's Mathis, not Bond, who has the best line: "Surround yourself with people, James. They're much easier to fight for than principles."
1) The lack of action. I'll admit my expectations have been shaped by the films coming into the books, but I can't help but feel like there's not as much going on here as there should be. Worse still, Bond often comes across as ineffectual and passive. He doesn't live by his wits so much as contrived plot devices, like when the bombers mistakenly kill themselves or the SMERSH agent doesn't kill Bond because he doesn't have orders. Are we really to believe that SMERSH agents won't kill an MI6 spy on sight?
Fleming basically makes the classic mistake of substituting shock for suspense.
The film improves on this flaw without losing the book's tone. We see Bond killing the double agent and his contact. The terrorists threatening Le Chiffre make for a more exciting scene that bombers being idiots (and being explained after the fact). Quantum's decision to let Bond live is explained by M as Vesper having bargained for his life. And Bond sees Vesper Lynd commit suicide in the most dramatic fashion possible rather than sleeping pills and a note on the bed.
2) Bond isn't as fun here. He's actually a bit of a bore. The movies might have taken things too far sometimes, but it's hard for me to imagine a Bond who doesn't deliver witty one-liners. I'll admit I'm a sucker for corny one-liners (like when a foe dies in a press and Brosnan's Bond says, "They'll print anything these days.") Again, the CR film manages to accomplish this without compromising the tone. (The torture scene comes to mind: "The whole world will know you died scratching my balls.")
All in all I think it's a brilliant first effort, but I'm glad Fleming toned down the philosophy and amped up the action in subsequent outings.

St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Brent Seabrook's charging major for a check on Blues center David Backes led to Vladimir Tarasenko's tying goal with 6.4 seconds left in regulation, and Barret Jackman scored 5:50 into overtime to give St. Louis a 4-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals on Saturday. The Blues won the longest game in franchise history on Thursday in triple overtime and now have a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series heading into Monday's Game 3 in Chicago. Chris Porter and Kevin Shattenkirk also scored to give the Blues a 2-0 lead in the first period and Ryan Miller ended with 25 saves. Miller's shutout streak of 119 minutes and 27 seconds was snapped when Duncan Keith scored with 2:35 left in the second period to get the Blackhawks on the board. Seabrook and Michal Rozsival beat Miller 1:45 apart in the third period to give the Blackhawks the lead, but the defending Stanley Cup champions were done in by Seabrook's game misconduct with 4:51 left in regulation.
Final Score: Columbus 4, Pittsburgh 3 (2-OT)
Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Matt Calvert's second goal of the contest, coming at 1:10 of the second overtime, gave the Columbus Blue Jackets their first-ever playoff victory with a 4-3 decision over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 2 of this Eastern Conference quarterfinal from CONSOL Energy Center. Brandon Dubinsky fought off Pens forward Jussi Jokinen behind the net and fed in front for Cam Atkinson, who missed from point-blank range on the right side. The rebound came out to Calvert, who made no mistake from the left wing. Jack Johnson and Ryan Johansen added tallies with David Savard contributing two assists for the Blue Jackets, who had dropped five consecutive postseason games and head home with the series tied for Game 3 on Monday. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 39 pucks to record his first playoff win after nine appearances and three losses. Brian Gibbons picked up a pair of first-period scores, Matt Niskanen also lit the lamp and Sidney Crosby netted two helpers for the Penguins, who have dropped their last three multiple- overtime contests. Marc-Andre Fleury halted 41 pucks in defeat.
Final Score: Colorado 4, Minnesota 2
Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Nathan MacKinnon scored a goal with three assists as the rookie led the Colorado Avalanche to a 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild in Game 2 of this Western Conference quarterfinal series. The 18-year-old became the youngest player in Colorado franchise history to score a goal in the playoffs as his marker tied the game, then he helped to set up a pair of goals from Gabriel Landeskog to give his club a 2-0 lead in this best-of-seven series. The front runner for the Calder Trophy as the leagues top rookie, MacKinnon led all freshmen in points with 63 and tied for goals with 24. Semyon Varlamov stopped 30 shots for Colorado, which is 12-0 all-time in playoff series after going up 2-0. Paul Stastny posted an empty-net goal and three assists. Charlie Coyle and Marco Scandella scored for the Wild, who saw starter Ilya Bryzgalov pulled after giving up three goals on 14 shots. Darcy Kuemper performed well in relief, turning away all 14 shots he faced. This series now heads back to Minnesota for the next two tilts, with Game 3 scheduled for Monday night.

Original Southwestern acoustic
blend of Americana and Bluegrass
music from the wide-open
spaces of New Mexico
Mandolinist Steve Smith, guitarist/vocalist Chris Sanders and bassist Anne Luna are three songwriters who have found their collective voice in the light and air of the Southwest. The Trio's roots extend into old time, jazz, country and modern chamber music, the product of over 30 years of performing. "The Trio has the kind of empathic harmony that comes from deep listening and familiarity (as in "familial")," says Bruce Bergathon, host of WGLT's Acousticity.
2012 brought The Hard Road Trio's release of Monticello which spent most of the summer in the top 5 of the Cashbox Roots chart. Thanks to the folks at The Art of the Song, River City Folk, and Folk Scene for having us on your shows. Check these websites for archived shows and stations playing these interviews and live performances. (Folk Scene will broadcast on Jan. 6 – listen online at kpfk.org.)
Monticello is available for purchase in Las Cruces at:
For two weeks in October of 2011 we set up a studio in a century-old adobe in Monticello NM. Our dynamo of a producer/engineer, James McLaughlin, flew out from Virginia and set up his control booth in the kitchen while we recorded in the meeting room enclosed in Steve's custom-built gobos (moveable acoustic isolation panels). Without the distraction of cell phones or email, free to enjoy the scent of lavender, the taste of green chile and the serenade of coyotes, we created this album in the beauty of old New Mexico.
Steve, Chris and Anne
Guest appearances by Michael Witcher, Nate Lee, Tim May and Bill Evans.

Virgin Media to provide WiFi for London Underground
The Olympics are edging closer, and preparations throughout London are underway. This includes setting up the underground tube stations with high-speed Internet so that commuters can check their email, surf the web, and access the Internet while they're on the go.
Mayor Boris Johnson announced the news just recently, stating: "It's vital that we harness the massive opportunities stemming from the digital revolution, by creating a vibrant, world-class industry to attract investment and create jobs for Londoners. This is a fabulous new and free resource which will be in place from this summer when London is being showcased on a global stage and playing host to millions."
Chosen to take on this project of connecting commuters to the world wide web is Virgin Media. The provider will be in charge of setting up the underground to enable free WiFi access beginning this summer. The new WiFi service will be launching as a free service and is done in partnership with the London Underground.
Neil Berkett who is the CEO of Virgin Media, said: "With the eyes of the world on London this summer, we'll be showing off our capital as a leading connected city on the global stage. We're putting the power of Virgin Media's fibre optic network in the hands of millions of Londoners, commuters and visitors and are delighted to be launching Wi-Fi for free throughout summer 2012 and beyond. We'll help people make the most of the city and will continue to evolve the service, ensuring everyone can benefit from a service London will be proud of."
Gareth Powell, LU's Director of Strategy and Service Development, said: "We're upgrading the Tube to make it fit for the 21st Century. This latest innovation is great news for Tube customers, who now have access to emails, web and social media underground for the first time. It's also delivered at no cost to fare payers and taxpayers.
"Today, TfL provides a wealth of free live travel information, via our website and through the many excellent travel apps now available. Wi-Fi on the Tube means our customers can now get the latest live travel information and check how services are running, on the move and underground, where and when they need it."

Coolest Dad Ever. Dad Sings Bohemian Rhapsody With Kids On the Way to School
Murray Hiltz OK maybe not the best chose but it doesn't always have to be Giving God the Glory in song. He is Giving God The Glory by Being A Good Father, it's really no a big deal maybe they should sing Doh a deer now that would be lame; I'm a gospel Singer and I love The Lord I don't always sing Gospel I mean how boring it would be if that was the case.I have a friend a church that only listens to gospel and she is miserable a little Stevie wonder a little Doug and the slugs a lot of Frank Sinatra keeps it real and fresh.
13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy." 1 Peter 1:13-16 (NKJV) I am sure that our Holy God would not want us to immerse His children in "Un"Holy music.
Sharlini... it is interesting that you think that a Holy God would use a Unholy song to connect with His kids..
And be ye separate - Separate from the world, and all its corrupting influences.
Quality time?... Wouldn't singing a song that brings God honor and glory be a better way of having quality time?
I agree Jenny. You go girl
I know she will be so glad to hear what you have said Kevin.... she is one special lady... and we all remember you being at our house a lot... and Jimmy too... gave your Mom a break LOLOL
It's a dad enjoying time with his kids. What is wrong with that? Personally I don't like the song, but not because of the lyrics...I don't even think the kids will get what the lyrics mean. I didn't growing up on classic rock. I grew up on classic rock and still listen to it. I listen to christian as well, but I won't go to hell because I listen to Journey or Reo Speedwagon. Stop judging...really
Justin Byrd you are right God for sure loves this family and the people who wrote the song, but He also tells us, "be Holy as I am Holy" and this means being set apart for His purpose. If we are to "love like Christ loved" as you say, that means laying down our life for others, right? So we are responsible to be something this world has never seen before to represent Christ so that others can have the chance to know Him. I think its way more cool for a dad to show His children how to please God in everything he does in his life.
Judge yes not lest yes be judged.
Wardell, Thank you for enlightening me on this song. I really didn't know what it was about. I think what the children will carry away from this experience with their dad, however, is that he was engaged with them and delights in them, like our Heavenly father. I lived in my parent's home until I was 21. My dad probably spent no more than 5 minutes total in time with me. I grew up feeling invisible and worthless. I don't think these children will carry that wound at least. I appreciate your passion for God.
And of course there is no killing in the Bible right? From the best I can tell it's a song about a man who kills another man and then feels so bad about it he is contemplating suicide or possibly he is going to be executed. Either way it portrays killing as a bad thing and makes it clear that there are consequences for killing. What is ungodly about that? When rap music is talking about abusing women and killing as a way of life with no remorse I think maybe some of you are barking up the wrong tree.
Words do matter. For they were 'singing' in the car and not just listening to the music. Quality time is important - so is quality of content! Songs are words 'spoken' with music. So whether you mean what you say or not - those words being spoken are still effecting your spirit and the atmosphere around you. Psalm 19:14 Proverbs 18:21 Ephesians 5:19 John 6:63 Psalm 34:13 Psalm 35:28 Proverbs 17:4 Colossians 3:16

The cause: Kapu Tickle Toy Camera, an iPad and iPhone app featuring 1950s-style illustrations that you interact with in all sorts of playful ways. Swipe a string and people and animals change into entirely new creatures (ahoy, pirate monkey!). Take a picture of yourself and turn it into one of the on-screen characters. Or change the background on a whim to keep things fresh. Of course, nothing beats tickling the characters and hearing them squeal as they spring up like jacks-in-the-box.

Mobile Charging Stations Again
Wed, 01/23/13 1:42 PM
The last thread addressed the expectation of charging stations for mobile and portable devices. Wifi accessibility has become an expectation as well. I've only seen businesses make mass charging or at least power strips on extention cords available during the aftermath of a hurricane here. I haven't been in a St*rbucks or McD's for a while since their last remodeling or any of these newer upper tier, gourmet QSR's that are emphasising quality ingredients and an upscale customer experience.
However, as these expectations and trends continue, they will be expectations in major restaruants and venues that rely on waitstaff and to some degree already are. This leaves a question of the waitstaff's compensation. The longer a patron lingers, the longer the table is idly occupied depriving another party from occupying the table. The impact on tips I would imagine to be considerable over the period of a day if the table can't be turned over.
While this isn't an issue in a self serve enviornment, moving into full service restaurants is obviously going to be a problem balancing new expectations vs rotation of resources and waitstaff's compensation.

The only time I have sat at a table for several hours was at Panera, my home internet service was out of action. I did buy and eat my lunch there and then when I left, I bought a loaf of bread. I would never charge up in a regular restaurant.

As a hungry customer waiting for a table to open up in a busy restaurant, I would get a bit miffed if I watched a person linger over their electronics and a long cup of coffee during a busy time. Thats a real different situation than a Barnes and Noble coffee stop-reading room. I think 'full-service' restaurants should shun the electronic support.
Since FF stands are by nature, quick turn-over spaces I don't understand why they invest in 'internal' wifi' anyway. Let the folks in the parking lot tune in using the parking area and their vehicle for a base of operations. Keep the line moving and the people eating and leaving to make space for the next guy.

Hmmm, being in an area with a lot of tourists, WiFi at FF places,
McDonald's and Jack in the Box to name two, seem to be a big draw among traveling folks looking for a way to check in on their online lives, and they advertise the fact that they are wired.

Pumpkin, Chickpea, and Harvest Vegetable Salad
Read this recipe's accompanying article.
Total Time:40 minutes
- 1 medium-size pie pumpkin, peeled and seeded and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 and 1/2 limes
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 medium cucumber, chopped
- 1 tomato, cored and chopped
- 1 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked chickpeas
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange the pumpkin pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the water. Bake for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the pumpkin is tender and begins to brown. Toss with the garlic and set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss together the lime juice, remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, white vinegar, cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the chickpeas and the pumpkin; toss well. Taste for salt, pepper, and vinegar, and season as needed. Serve at once, with a hunk of cheddar cheese and some toasted rustic bread. If you have leftovers, they make an excellent addition to a green salad the next day.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. - Maya Angelou

I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington until I decided to make a big life change and move down to L.A. The change was prompted by receiving a kidney transplant on OCtober 1, 2014. The sun has made a big impact on my overall happiness and well being...I love it down here.
After my transplant, I went back to work and realized I needed to do more with my new outlook on life. I quit my job, took some time off to really recover and take care of myself, then decided to move. I traveled all over the country looking for the right place with culture and life. L.A. ended up being my final choice. After moving down last January, I decided to get out of the commercial real estate development business and pursue something that I could really love doing. Web design has all of the components of creativity and problem solving that I find challenging and rewarding. Being back in school has also allowed me to reactivate the artist in me and I continue to pursue many mediums of art endeavors.

THE BLUE MOUNTAINS - Blue Mountains town council has changed its tune and cut webcasting from its 2013 budget.
At a budget meeting in December, council voted in favour of acquiring the webcast technology, which could record and broadcast council and committee meetings online, at a one-time cost of $21,000 and an annual cost of $5,000.
But after the January 7 vote, webcasting won't be included in the proposed budget. Only Mayor Ellen Anderson voted to keep the webcast budget item. All other councillors voted against it, although their reasons for axing the $21,000 line item were varied.
Councillor Michael Martin told council there "is always a down side to the Internet."
"I would not grant permission to a private company to reproduce my image or voice," said Martin, adding that after a few meetings those video recordings would include two-thirds of his vocabulary and facial expressions. "They could sell that technology to anybody."
Councillor Gail Ardiel, who was the chair of the budget meeting on Monday, January 7 when webcasting was removed from the proposed 2013 budget. She said Martin's reasons for cutting out webcasting were "interesting."
Councillor Joe Halos wanted to bring forward a two per cent increase instead of the proposed 2.75 per cent. He said webcasting should be one of the cuts made.
"As much as I'd like to see new technology going forward," said Halos. "Webcast technology is a service maybe we don't really need."
The webcast technology would allow staff to digitally record an event such as a council or committee meeting, and transmit (or stream) the recording to the Internet so it would be available to the general public. There is also a potential for remote live participation by the public in meetings of council.

Halloween may finally be over, but I still find myself being haunted by the ghostly moans of Book 3 in the Dark Days series. While I am happy to report that the copy edits for Dayhunter have been laid to rest and my editor is quietly content with the novella that I have submitted for an upcoming anthology (which will also feature the amazing Kim Harrison, Vicki Petterrson, Melissa Marr, and Jeaniene Frost), I still find myself at odds with Book 3. It's the book that will not finally get itself written. Its due date is looming, and I am happy to report that I know how the book ends…it's just a matter of getting there in the first place.
I'll admit that I have to blame some of the slow progress on the book on a brief excursion I took to Savannah, Georgia, in the middle of October. It was time I wandered around the old streets that Mira, the main character of the Dark Days series, calls home. Within minutes of hitting the streets, I was glad that I had picked Savannah. Beyond its exquisite architecture and breathtaking squares, Savannah is a place of mystery, history, and more than one ghost story. I can't imagine any vampire wanting to settle in any other city in the United States.
A new year has finally kicked off, and I'm excited for everything that 2009 is going to bring. Not only is my second book, Dayhunter, scheduled for release on April 28, but I also have a novella in an upcoming anthology called Unbound coming out and Book 3 in the Dark Days series is tentatively scheduled for release in the fall.
What's more, I will be attending my first Comic Con in February in New York. I've been told to bring a camera, because there are always crazy and cool costumes to be seen. I will be on a panel with Kim Harrison, Jeaniene Frost, and Vicki Pettersson. I will also be attending the Romantic Times Booklovers convention from April 22 through April 26. My agent is heading in for both of them, and it will be great to hang with her.
So, as you may have guess, 2009 is going to be an amazing year!
The release of Dayhunter is drawing close, and I'm starting to get nervous and excited. The second novel in the Dark Days series is due to be released in a matter of weeks, and I'm worried about readers liking it as much as they liked Nightwalker. However, my hopes are high because this book gives more background into Mira's history with Rowe, a look at what Danaus really is, and concludes with Mira making a life-altering decision. I think it's going to be a good one, and my fingers are crossed that readers will like it as much as I do.
In the meantime, the countdown has begun for my Orlando, Florida, trip to the Romantic Times Booklovers convention in April. Not only is this a chance for me to meet with some of the fans of the Dark Days series, but I also get to be on a panel entitled I'll Love You…Forever: Writing a Series in Urban Fantasy. It's on Thursday, April 23, at 2:30 p.m., and will include myself, Mark Henry, Mario Acevedo, Jaye Wells, and Jeaniene Frost. I can't wait!
But for now, it's back to work. Book 4 in the series is due to my editor on May 1.
It's hard to believe, but the release date of Dayhunter, the second book in the Dark Days series, has finally arrived. I'm so excited that I can barely sit still. I really loved writing this book. It was a lot of fun, with some interesting secrets finally being revealed to readers. I love the character development of both Mira and Danaus, as well as the shifting of their own relationship.
Dayhunter reveals some dark schemes on the part of the Coven, as well as gives readers a closer look at some of the politics that envelops the nightwalker world. Readers also get a chance to meet both Nicolai and Valerio, a pair of my newly favorite characters. I'm hoping that they will be popping in and out for a while.
But enough babbling and rambling from me. Go! Hurry now! Go buy your own copy of Dayhunter and see what kind of a mess that Mira has gotten herself into.
In between edits for Book 4 and plotting for Book 5 in the series, I'm planning some special contests for the release of the Unbound anthology, in which I have a novella called "The Dead, The Damned, and the Forgotten," and the release of Dawnbreaker, the third novel in the Dark Days series. I can't wait for the release of both stories. The novella takes a look at Mira's life prior to the arrival of Danaus, while Dawnbreaker finally puts Mira face-to-face with her greatest enemy.
In the meantime, I've been enjoying my usual holiday traditions during the past week. I've been spending time with family, as well as made trips to see the Nutcracker ballet and the Festival of Lights at the Cincinnati Zoo.
There have been a couple inches of snow on the ground during the past few days and my fingers are crossed that it will stick around through Christmas. I like having a white Christmas, so long as the roads are clear for travel. Also before Christmas, I am hoping to sneak out and make a snowman. My younger brother has already bragged about making a snowdog, so I have to find a way to beat him.
However, my main focus lies with finishing Book 6. In March, I fractured a bone in my hand, forcing me to take a break from the keyboard, but I'm back at it again with Mira and Danaus fighting the bad guys when they are not fighting each other. I'm getting down to the last 100 pages of the book, I think, and I can feel the pacing of the book beginning to pick up speed. In the next few weeks, I'll be spending longer hours at the computer as it becomes harder to stop writing in the middle of the action.
If you're out and about this summer, stop by and see me at the San Diego Comic-Con or at the Romance Writer of America convention in Orlando, Florida. Also, don't forget to pick up your copy of Pray for Dawn at the end of June and Wait for Dusk at the end of July. You won't want to miss it!

North Carolina Central University
(p) 919-530-6100
1801 Fayetteville St.
Durham, NC 27707
North Carolina Central University, a state-supported liberal arts institution, was chartered in 1909 as a private institution and opened to students on July 5, 1910. It was founded by Dr. James E. Shepard. From the beginning, when it was known as the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race, its purpose has been the development in young men and women of the character and sound academic training requisite for real service to the nation. To this end, the training of all students has been entrusted to the most capable teachers available.
The institution's early years were characterized by a wealth of enthusiasm and high endeavor, but not of money. Private donations and student fees constituted the total financial support of the school, and the heavy burden of collecting funds rested on the President.
In 1915 the school was sold and reorganized, then becoming the National Training School. During this period, Mrs. Russell Sage of New York was a generous benefactor of the school.
In 1923 the North Carolina legislature appropriated funds for the purchase and maintenance of the school. That was the beginning of its state support, and the institution was renamed the Durham State Normal School. Two years later, the legislature converted the institution into the North Carolina College for Negroes, dedicating it to the offering of liberal arts education and the preparation of teachers and principals of secondary schools. North Carolina College for Negroes became the nation's first state-supported liberal arts college for African-American students.
At its 1927 session, the legislature authorized money for a physical expansion of the college plant to meet the needs of an enlarged academic program. The interest of Gov. Angus W. McLean and his belief in the institution aided greatly in the promotion of this program. State appropriations were supplemented by a generous gift from Benjamin N. Duke, a member of the Durham tobacco family, and by contributions from citizens of Durham in 1929. In the 1930s, federal grants and state appropriations financed further expansion and improvement of educational facilities.
The College was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools as an "A" class institution in 1937 and was admitted to membership in that association in 1957. In 1939, the legislature authorized the establishment of graduate work in liberal arts and the professions. The first graduate courses in the Arts and Sciences were offered in that same year; the School of Law began operation in 1940, and the School of Library Science was established in 1941.
In 1947 the General Assembly changed the name of the institution to North Carolina College at Durham.
On October 6, 1947, Dr. Shepard, the founder and president of the college, died. The Board of Trustees appointed an interim committee consisting of Dr. Albert E. Manley, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; Ruth G. Rush, Dean of Women, and Dr. Albert L. Turner, Dean of the School of Law, to direct the affairs of the college until the election of the second president.
On January 20, 1948, Dr. Alfonso Elder was elected president of North Carolina College. At the time, he was serving as head of the Graduate Department of Education and had formerly been Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Elder retired Sept. 1, 1963.
Dr. Samuel P. Massie was elected as the third president on August 9, 1963. Dr. Massie came to the institution from Washington, where he was Associate Program Director for Undergraduate Science Education of the National Science Foundation and Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at Howard University. He resigned in February 1966 to accept an appointment as a chemistry professor at the U.S. Naval Academy.
The administration of the college was then assumed by a second interim committee, whose members were William Jones, business manager; Dr. Helen G. Edmonds, graduate dean; and Dr. William H. Brown, professor of education. The committee served until July 1, 1967, when Dr. Albert N. Whiting assumed his duties as president. Whiting served as president at first, then assumed the title of chancellor when the institution was brought into the University of North Carolina system in 1972. He retired on June 30, 1983.
Under Whiting's leadership, North Carolina College at Durham became North Carolina Central University in 1969. Among the significant developments during his 16 years of service was the creation of the NCCU School of Business. Programs in public administration and criminal justice were also launched during those years. On July 1, 1972, all the state's public four-year colleges and universities were joined to become the Consolidated University of North Carolina. The reconstituted UNC, with 16 individual campuses, was headed by a single president and governed by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors.
Whiting was succeeded by Dr. LeRoy T. Walker in the role of interim chancellor. Walker had served the institution as chairman of the Department of Physical Education and Recreation, head track coach, and vice chancellor for university relations. He had served as the United States' head track and field coach at the 1976 Olympic games, and was a key administrator in the early years of the U.S. Peace Corps. At their February 1986 meeting, the University of North Carolina Board of Governors, at the request of NCCU's Board of Trustees, retroactively awarded Walker the title of chancellor, effective as of the beginning of his term in 1983.
Dr. Tyronza R. Richmond, formerly dean of the School of Business, succeeded Walker as chancellor on July 1, 1986. Before his arrival at NCCU, Richmond served as associate dean and professor at the School of Business and Public Administration at Howard University. Richmond's tenure saw the creation of the School of Education (formerly the Department of Education) and a reorganization of the academic administrative structure. Richmond resigned as chancellor to return to the classroom and was succeeded on Jan. 1, 1992, by Dr. Donna J. Benson, who served as interim chancellor for one year.
Benson was succeeded in January 1993, by Julius L. Chambers, who had been director-counsel (chief executive) of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Chambers, a distinguished civil rights attorney, was the first NCCU alumnus to serve as chief administrator, having received his bachelor's degree in history from North Carolina College at Durham in 1958. Chambers launched a major capital construction effort including an additional residence facility on the site of the existing Chidley Hall, a biomedical/biotechnology research facility, a new School of Education building as well as substantial renovations to all student residence halls and most classroom facilities. James H. Ammons became chancellor June 1, 2001. Under his leadership, the university experienced significant enrollment growth, making NCCU the fastest-growing of the 16 UNC campuses.
Charlie Nelms, chancellor since 2007, has made a focus on student success his highest priority. With the goal of lifting retention and graduation rates, he reorganized the University College to provide intensive academic support and skills training for underprepared freshmen and sophomores. He presided over NCCU's centennial celebration during the 2009-10 academic year, during which the appearance of the campus underwent a transformation, most notably the dramatic overhaul of the Fayetteville Street corridor.

Greater Oklahoma City is in the geographic center of North America equidistant from the east and west coasts and major trade partners of Canada and Mexico. The ten county region is at the crossroads of the U.S., sitting at the heart of three major national highways on the NAFTA corridor.
There's a reason Greater Oklahoma City is such a great place for business: Location. The ten county region is positioned within a day's drive of the rapidly-growing south-central region (OK, TX, AR, LA) projected to grow more than 44% during the next 25 years.
Explore the counties and cities of Greater Oklahoma City including major employers and higher education. The ten county region boasts an average commute time of 20 minutes and a skilled workforce over half a million strong.
"There are several factors, including easy commutes, quality of life, value of the dollar, great schools, entertainment, etc. But I think that Oklahoma's best resource is the same thing that makes it a great place to start and grow a business. It's the people - hard-working and honest - which is very important to any business, regardless of the industry."
- Chad Richison, CEO, Paycom
OKLAHOMA CITY - The human sustainability experts at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation have learned a lot lately about saving both the environment and some green.
By this time next year, they will have a lot to show for their research - an eight-story, $54 million tower that is believed to be the first medical research facility anywhere to harness the wind to help power its laboratories.
"Our mission at OMRF is to perform research that helps people live longer, healthier lives," Dr. Stephen Prescott, OMRF president, said Wednesday. "What is that but human sustainability? So with this tower, we're just taking the natural next step - trying to attain environmental sustainability."
But the 24 double-helix wind turbines that will sit atop the tower aren't the whole story, although they will serve as an important symbol of Oklahoma's renewable-energy potential.
The real lesson may be that thinking green means thinking way ahead.
"Most people design a building and then ask, 'How can we make this green?'" Prescott said. "We installed the green features first, and then we designed the rest of the building around them."
Sheryl Rood, OMRF's owner representative on the project, said the design team was fabulous in incorporating sustainable features into the building's design from the start.
"I think it boils down to reduce what you need; reuse what you can and what you can't use, you recycle," Rood said.
As a result, the tower is only the second building in the state and the first in Oklahoma City to earn gold-level certification for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
OMRF also has been selected as a finalist for the Renewable Energy World North America Award in the category of building integrated renewals. The winners will be announced Feb. 23 in Austin.
Overall, the tower's energy-saving measures will decrease electricity usage by 37 percent and total power use by 17 percent, which will cut annual CO2 emissions by 2,162,520 pounds.
Sustainability was a factor throughout the design process, including the site selection, the demolition process (the new building went in on the site of an existing building) and how the new tower would be positioned.
For example, the demolition process took a little longer to allow the contractor to reclaim some materials for recycling, Rood said.
"The actual sighting of the building and how you orient it toward the sun is another key component," she said. "We have more wall covering on the east and west sides to minimize the heat and the north and south faces have a lot of windows to allow for indirect lighting."
The ultimate size of the building also could be scored as a sustainability plus.
Originally, it was thought that 200,000 square feet would be needed to satisfy the research program's needs, but Rood said that through design efficiencies the size was reduced to 186,000 feet, a 7-percent reduction and an energy saver.
The building also will feature a living roof and rain garden to prevent runoff pollution and insulate the building, as well as an air-conditioning system that will reduce water consumption by recycling condensation.
"I am proud," Rood said. "This is really a neat building."

Prevention of sexually transmitted infections and under 18 conceptions (PH3)
preventing sexually transmitted infections and under-18 conceptions
Fast, easy summary view of NICE guidance on 'preventing sexually transmitted infections and under-18 conceptions'
One to one interventions to reduce the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV, and to reduce the rate of under 18 conceptions, especially among vulnerable and at risk groups
This guidance is for professionals who are responsible for, or who work in, sexual health services. This includes general practitioners and professionals working in contraceptive services, genitourinary medicine and school clinics .
NICE recommendations include the following advice:
- Assess people's risk of having a sexually transmitted infection (STI), when the opportunity arises. For example, this could happen when someone attends for contraception, or to register as a new patient.
- Offer advice to people at high risk of an STI in a structured discussion, or arrange for them to see someone who is trained to give this type of advice. The discussion should cover ways to help people reduce the risks.
- Help people with an STI to get their partners tested and treated. This might involve referring the person to a specialist. People with STIs and their partners should receive information about the infection they have.
Primary care trusts (PCTs) should make sure there are enough sexual health services locally and enough staff trained to run them.
