- "They're not your lands! We've been here the whole time! You lot came along and just put up a big Wall and said it was yours!"
- ―Ygritte
The Free Folk is the name used to refer to themselves by the people who live in the lands beyond the Wall, still on the continent of Westeros but beyond the northern border of the Seven Kingdoms.[1] The name they employ makes reference to their society, which recognizes no political authority and no claim of ownership over the land. The people of the Seven Kingdoms refer to the Free Folk derogatorily as wildlings.
The term "wildlings" is sometimes also employed to refer to the members of the hill tribes of the Vale that defy the rule of House Arryn, but out of context the term is usually understood to refer to the peoples living beyond the Wall.[2]
The Free Folk are descended from the First Men, as are the inhabitants of the North. They were, essentially, the people unlucky enough to be living north of the Wall when it was constructed eight thousand years ago. Besides this shared ethnic heritage, their common descent means that there are also many cultural similarities between the wildlings and the Northerners. The wildlings are much closer in lifestyle and habits to how the First Men lived thousands of years ago, as the North has come under some cultural influence from their Andal neighbors who invaded southern Westeros six thousand years ago, and particularly since the Seven Kingdoms were united into a single realm by the Targaryen Conquest three hundred years ago.[3]
Over the ages, the people of the Seven Kingdoms to the south largely forgotten why the Wall was constructed in the first place and came to believe that it exists to protect the realm from the wildlings, whom they regard as primitive savages and barbarians. However, the Night's Watch knows it was originally constructed to defend against the possible return of the near-mythical White Walkers. Since the White Walkers did not return for the past eight thousand years, the Night's Watch has mostly shifted its focus to preventing the wildlings from crossing south of the Wall, and sending out patrols into the wilderness to keep track of wildling movements. The shift of focus also reduced the Night's Watch from a band of honorable warriors into largely a dumping ground for exiled criminals.
The Free Folk consist of a wide variety of many fractious tribes and village-dwellers, some reasonably cultured, others savage and hostile. Different wildling factions have very different cultures and practices, and may speak different languages. They spend much of their time fighting one another over petty squabbles, aside from the times when they are unified by a King-Beyond-the-Wall - as they are now under Mance Rayder.
The Free Folk worship the Old Gods of the Forest, like their distant cousins in the North. Even in the lands of House Stark, there are some followers of the Faith of the Seven, often southern noblewomen who come to the North to secure marriage alliances. Beyond the Wall, however, the Old Gods are the only gods that are worshiped.[4]
Women also partake in raids south of the Wall along with their male counterparts. These women warriors are known as spearwives.
A major difference between the Free Folk and the feudal society of the Seven Kingdoms south of the Wall is that they do not recognize a class of hereditary nobility in their society. They take great pride in their "free" status, and only follow leaders who they choose to lead them. While in certain times the clans will unite behind a "King-Beyond-the-Wall", the title and position are not hereditary, as the Free Folk will follow no man simply because of who his father was. The Free Folk will follow a King-Beyond-the-Wall into battle, but the do not perform ceremonies of submission such as kneeling in front of him or referring to him as "your Grace". They call the people of the feudal Seven Kingdoms "kneelers", because they physically kneel to men who they didn't choose to rule over them. There is no social stratification between high-born lords and low-born smallfolk among the Free Folk.[5]
The other side of this is that without established lords, the wildlings are so "free" that they don't really have established and enforced laws. A man keeps what he can take, and continues to hold what he can defend. While in many ways this is much more brutal and anarchic than the feudal society of the Seven Kingdoms, it is certainly more egalitarian.
At the time of the War of the Five Kings the Free Folk are divided into about 90 different clans or tribes, some of which have long been bitter enemies with each other.[6] Normally they are politically divided, but have united under the current King-Beyond-the-Wall Mance Rayder for the common goal of forcing their way south of the Wall before the next winter comes, which will bring the White Walkers with it.
Some of these groups are socially and culturally very different. While many do understand the Common Tongue of the Andals south of the Wall, according to Mance the clans in his army speak seven different languages (including the Common Tongue; otherwise they speak the Old Tongue of the First Men, and its several variants).
Some of these clans or groups include:
- Numerous clans from the vast Haunted Forest, immediately north of the Wall but east of the Frostfang Mountains. These tend to be semi-nomadic hunters and homesteaders, though some of them form villages of their own.
- White Tree, a community of wildlings
- Craster's Keep - a small homestead maintained by Craster and his many daughter-wives.
- The Thenn
- Hornfoots
- Ice-river clans
- Cave people
The non-human race of giants who live beyond the Wall has also allied itself with Mance Rayder and now marches in his wildling army. Loosely speaking they may thus by considered part of the "wildlings", though the inhabitants of the Seven Kingdoms generally use the term to refer to specifically the human clans living beyond the Wall. Of course, this is because until quite recently, those living south of the Wall had thought giants were entirely mythical creatures, and were unaware that they actually existed in the far northern lands beyond the Wall.
Prominent Free Folk
- Mance Rayder, the King-Beyond-the-Wall, a former sworn brother of the Night's Watch.
- Tormund, called "Tormund Giantsbane", one of Mance Rayder's lieutenants.
- Orell, another of Mance Rayder's followers, a warg.
- The Lord of Bones, a renowned leader of a raiding warband now aligned with Mance Rayder.
- Ygritte, a young spearwife encountered by Jon Snow and former member of the Lord of Bones' warband.
- Craster, an unsavory collaborator of the Night's Watch with a sordid reputation.
- Gilly, one of his many daughter-wives.
- Osha, a former spearwife and now a loyal servant of House Stark and protector of Bran and Rickon Stark.
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Free Folk consist of various factions, such as the people of Thenn, raiders from the Frozen Shore, and settlers and woodsmen in the Haunted Forest. At the time of the books they are unified under a King-Beyond-the-Wall, Mance Rayder, a former member of the Night's Watch who fled the Wall and betrayed the Sworn Brothers. With the Wall grievously under-strength, there are fears that the wildlings may try to invade and that Lord Eddard Stark might have to lead his banners against them in a punitive strike.

Change of Name or Address
A student who changes his/her name, home or local address is asked to notify the Office of Admissions and Records and the Library of this change immediately. Students are responsible for notifying these offices of such changes. Any communication mailed by the College to the student at the name and address in their records is considered delivered if notification is not received of any changes.
To change your local address log in to your myBlinn account and go to the 'My Records' tab. Permanent address changes must be made in person at Enrollment Services on the Brenham Campus and at the Office of Admissions and Records on the Bryan and Schulenburg campuses.Adding and Dropping Courses
No courses may be added later than the date specified in this catalog. Students adding a course must make up the work missed within two weeks after a course is added. A charge of $15.00 is made for each drop or change.
A student dropping a class after the first two weeks of a regular semester or after the fourth class day of a summer session will receive a grade of "W". Students may drop courses with a grade of "W" until Friday of the twelfth class week in a regular semester and the 15th class day in a summer term. Thereafter, a grade of "WF" will be recorded unless the student is withdrawing because of extenuating circumstances deemed by the instructor of the course or the College. Students may not drop or be dropped from a class after final examinations have begun.Classification of Students
A student who has earned fewer than 30 semester hours of college credit is classified as a freshman. A student who has earned 30 or more hours is classified as a sophomore. A student enrolled for at least 12 semester hours in a regular term or at least 4 semester hours in a summer term is considered full-time.Academic Transcript
An official transcript of college credits is a record of the student's academic record bearing the college seal and the signature of the Registrar. Blinn College provides transcripts to student free of charge. A student may obtain copies of his/her transcript by written request to the Office of Admissions and Records or by requesting the transcript through BORIS. The written request must include full legal name or name attended under, dates of attendance, student ID/social security number, current telephone number and a legible signature. All admission information must be on file and all holds cleared before an official transcript will be released. Transcript Request InformationGrades and Incompletes
At the end of each semester the standing of each student in each course is reported by the instructor to the Office of Admissions and Records, and entered on records. Proficiency attained is expressed in grades A, B, C, D, P, NP, F, I, W, WP, and WF. The grade of I indicates that the course work was incomplete due to illness or other emergency and may be adjusted to the appropriate grade upon completion of the work required by the instructor. Work that would finish class work already substantially completed will be the only consideration made for work suitable to be made up under an incomplete. A grade of I will become an F at the close of the time period defined by the incomplete contract. The grade of W indicates that the student withdrew before the official withdrawal date as set forth in this catalog. WP and WF indicate the student withdrew passing or failing respectively.Grade Point Average (GPA)
Blinn College is on a four-point grading system. For each semester hour, a grade of A has 4 grade points; B, 3 grade points; C, 2 grade points; D, 1 grade point. The maximum grade point score is 4.00 representing an A average. The grade point average is arrived at by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the number of hours attempted. All grades except I, WP, W, P, and NP are used in the GPA computation.Academic Good Standing
In order to achieve and remain in academic good standing at Blinn College, a student must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 (C). A 2.0 cumulative grade point average is the minimum required for graduation.Scholastic Probation or Suspension
A student who falls below a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA) at the close of any long semester or summer school will be placed on scholastic probation. Summer school (two sessions) is considered to be a unit equivalent to a semester. A student who fails to achieve a minimum 2.0 semester and cumulative GPA at the end of subsequent semesters will be placed on scholastic suspension. A student with a semester GPA of greater than 2.0 and a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 will remain on scholastic probation. Students being placed on scholastic probation at the end of the long semester or summer school will receive an email at their Blinn College buc account. Students being placed on scholastic suspension at the end of the long semester or summer school will be mailed a letter at their permanent address.
Students transferring from another college with less than a 2.0 GPA, if admitted, are admitted on scholastic probation. These students must meet the same requirements in subsequent semesters as all other students on scholastic probation (see above).
A student placed on scholastic probation becomes ineligible to be a candidate for an elective or appointive office of a college-sponsored activity or social organization. This restriction does not apply if participation in the activity or organization is part of the requirements of a college course. The student may be required to forfeit college scholarships, be ineligible to represent the College, and may be subject to a loss of veteran's benefits and other financial aid. A student on scholastic probation is required to be advised prior to registration. A student that registers prior to the conclusion of the semester they are placed on probation must be re-advised in order to keep their courses. A student placed on scholastic suspension will not be allowed to attend Blinn College for one long (fall, spring) semester. At the conclusion of this suspended semester, the student can reenter the College and will be placed on scholastic probation.
For those students who have been scholastically suspended but have extenuating circumstances preventing them from achieving the minimum 2.0 GPA, an appeal for reinstatement may be made. This appeal must be made in writing to the scholastic appeals committee. Information on the appeal procedure and deadline is included in the letter sent to suspended students. The decision of the scholastic appeals committee is final. No appeal for reinstatement may be made after the appeal deadline. If required, a student must make a
separate appeal for reinstatement of financial aid funds.
Blinn College maintains rules and regulations and reserves the right to dismiss or to place on disciplinary probation a student who violates or commits an infraction of the rules. The College reserves the right to remove the probation. A student who is placed on disciplinary probation forfeits the privilege of holding elective offices and honors. Any student placed on disciplinary probation or dismissed by the Disciplinary Committee will be afforded due process as provided by Blinn College Board policy. Additional information concerning disciplinary rules and regulations is included in the Blinn College Student Handbook.Withdrawal From College
A student who desires to withdraw from the College after registration must secure an official discharge from the Office of Admissions and Records after returning all property belonging to the College, and clearing all financial accounts.
Residence Hall students must turn in their room and post office keys, and leave their rooms clean. They must get a clearance concerning possible room damage in order to receive a refund on their room deposit. Refunds must be requested from the Housing Office.
In accordance with state statute, should a student register and withdraw prior to the first day of classes, all tuition, fees (except registration fees and identification card fee), room and board will be refunded.
Tuition and fees will be refunded to a student who withdraws in good standing during the first four weeks of a regular semester, or the first week of a summer semester, according to the refund schedule. The refund on board is proportional calculated on a weekly basis. There is no refund on rent.
If a student who has a scholarship withdraws before the end of the semester, the scholarship is revoked, and the student may be required to repay the scholarship fund.
Return of Title IV Funds Policy
The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 changed the formula for calculating the amount of aid a student and school can retain when the student totally withdraws from all classes. Students who withdraw from all classes prior to completing more than 60% of an enrollment term will have their eligibility for aid recalculated based on the percent of the term completed. For example, a student who withdraws completing only 30% of the term will have "earned" only 30% of any Title IV aid received. The school and/or the student must return the remaining 70%. The Financial Aid Office encourages you to read this policy carefully. If you are thinking about withdrawing from all classes PRIOR to completing 60% of the semester, you should contact the Financial Aid Office to see how your withdrawal will affect your financial aid.
1. The policy shall apply to all student who withdraw, drop out or are expelled from Blinn College, and receive financial aid from Title IV funds:
a. The term "Title IV Funds" refers to the Federal financial aid programs authorized under the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended) and includes the following programs:
Unsubsidized Federal Family Education (FFEL) Loans, subsidized FFEL loans, FFEL Plus loans, Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Equal Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Grants (LEAP Grants).
b. A student's withdrawal date is:
- the date the student began the institution's withdrawal process or officially notifies the institution of intent to withdraw, or
- the midpoint of the period for a student who leaves without notifying the institution; or
- the student's last date of attendance at a documented academically related activity.
1. Title IV aid is earned in a prorated manner on a per diem basis up to and including the 60% point in the semester. Title IV aid and all other aid is viewed as 100% earned after that point in time.
a. The percentage of Title IV aid earned shall be calculated as follows:
Number of days completed by student divided by Total number of days in term* = Percent of term completed
The percent of term completed shall be the percentage of Title IV aid earned by the student. *The total number of calendar days in a term of enrollment shall exclude any scheduled breaks of more than five days.
b. The percentage of Title IV aid unearned (i.e., to be returned to the appropriate program) shall be 100% minus the percent earned.
c. Unearned aid shall be returned first by Blinn College from the student's account calculated as follows:
Total institutional charges times percent of unearned aid = amount returned to program(s)
Unearned Title IV aid shall be returned to the following programs in the following order:
1. Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
2. Subsidized Stafford Loan
3. Parent Loans to Undergraduate Students (PLUS)
4. Federal Pell Grant
5. Federal SEOG
6. Other Title IV grant programs
Exception: no program can receive a refund if the student did not receive aid from that program.
d. When the total amount of unearned aid is greater than the amount returned by Blinn College from the student's account, the student is responsible for returning unearned aid to the appropriate program(s) as follows:
1. Unsubsidized Stafford Loan*
2. Subsidized Stafford Loan*
3. Parent Loans to Undergraduate Students (PLUS)*
4. Federal Pell Grant**
5. Federal SEOG**
6. Other Title IV grant programs**
* Loan amounts are returned with the terms of the promissory note.
**Amounts to be returned by the student to federal grant programs will receive a 50% discount.
2. Refunds and adjusted bills will be sent to the student's home address on file in the Registrar's Office following withdrawal. Students are responsible for any portion of their institutional charges that are left outstanding after the Title IV funds are returned.
3. Institutional and student responsibilities in regard to the return of Title IV funds
a. Blinn College's responsibilities in regard to the Title IV funds include:
- Providing each student with the information given in this policy
- Identifying students who are affected by this policy and completing the Return of Title IV Funds calculation for those students;
- returning any Title IV funds that are due the Title IV programs.
b. The student's responsibilities in regard to the return of Title IV funds include:
- Becoming familiar with the Return of Title IV policy and how complete withdrawal affects eligibility for Title IV aid;
- Returning to the Title IV programs any funds that were disbursed directly to the student and which the student was determined to be ineligible for via the Return of Title IV funds calculation.
4. The fees, procedures, and policies listed above superseded those published previously and are subject to change at any time.
5. Any notification of a withdrawal or cancellation of classes should be in writing and addressed to the Admission's Office. A copy of such document will be taken to the Financial Aid Office. Credit Hour program example:
Step 1. Determine the percentage of time the student was enrolled as of withdrawal.
Step 2. Determine the amount of aid earned by the student.
Step 3. Compare the amount earned to the amount disbursed.
Step 4. Allocate the responsibility for returning unearned aid between the school and the student.
Institutional charges for the period would have to be determined. An example:
Tuition and Fees
Percentage of Title IV aid unearned using Andrews information= 80%
Multiply $3,000 times 80% = $2,400
Compare the amount of Title IV aid to be returned ($4,000) to above. The school must return the lesser amount ($2,400).
Step 5. Distribute the unearned funds back to the Title IV programs.
1. Unsubsidized Stafford Loan*
2. Subsidized Stafford Loan*
4. Federal Pell Grant**
3. Parent Loans to Undergraduate Students (PLUS)*
5. Federal SEOG**
6. Other Title IV grant programs**
*Loan amounts are returned with the terms of the promissory note. No further action is required other than notification to the holder of the loan of the student's withdrawal date.
Student wanting to withdraw from school must submit a letter requesting withdrawal or complete the Blinn College Exit/Withdrawal Clearance Form. If the student submits a letter requesting withdrawal, the effective date of withdrawal will be the postmark date of the letter minus one day. When submitting the exit/withdrawal clearance form, the effective date of withdrawal will be the date the form is received by the Admissions and Records office. All requests for withdrawal must include full name, social security number, and student signature. Withdrawal letters should be addressed to the Office of Admissions and Records, 902 College Ave., Brenham, Texas 77833. Students attending any Bryan Campus should address their letters to the Office of Admissions and Records, P.O. Box 6030, Bryan, Texas 77805-6030. Students attending the Schulenburg campus should address their letters to the Office of Admissions and Records, 100 Ranger Dr., Schulenburg, TX 78956.
Students electing to fax their withdrawal requests should use the appropriate fax numbers listed below:
Brenham Campus - (979) 830-4110

As Phil Jackson headed for the elevator inside the Four Seasons hotel in Boston last Saturday, the last question lobbed his way was more personal in nature than professional.
"So," I asked the 11-time champion coach after our interview over breakfast had come to an end, "am I going to see you soon or not?"
He grinned, then offered a definitive statement that shouldn't soon be forgotten.
"We'll see," he said. "I don't want to be on the sidelines. That's for damned sure."
Unbeknownst to me at the time, Jackson already had met with the New York Knicks. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the meeting to USA TODAY Sports, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the talks that were first reported by ESPN.
Now, the New York Daily News is reporting that Jackson is mulling over an offer to join the Knicks' front office.
And with that, the Phil Jackson Pandora's box is open for business again.
PHIL Q&A: Why he's fine not coaching Lakers
ON SHAQ: "Clown" image ended Lakers' run
My strong sense at the time was that Jackson wouldn't have agreed to do the interview unless this was part of a bigger play, and sure enough he left plenty of crumbs on the trail of his potential return from retirement during our discussion. The aforementioned declaration that he didn't want to coach was the biggest, as Jackson didn't hesitate to make widely known what it appears he told the Knicks in their meeting.
But there was this doozy, too, one that was almost immediately picked up by writers in New York who have learned to decode Jackson's dialect as well as anyone.
"There are winners and losers in the NBA, and a lot of people are trying to reclaim their position or change their culture or whatever," Jackson, who played 10 seasons for the Knicks and was part of their 1973 championship team, had said. "So yeah, there is (opportunity). I've had conversations. Some of them are feelers. 'Are you interested?' type of thing."
VIDEO: Phil still has an NBA appetite
USA TODAY Sports NBA writer Sam Amick sat down with the legendary Phil Jackson.
It's not just about whether Jackson is interested, though; it's a matter of what — specifically — it is that interests him. He wants to do more than the typical Zen Master stuff, to have a say in personnel and play a role when it comes to building the culture and the infrastructure. Jackson's preferred blueprint is no secret at this point. The nature of his potential involvement with the Seattle situation that never came to pass should serve as a window into his mind at this point of his career.
With Mike Woodson still in place as coach of the Knicks, the mere fact that Jackson would meet with the Knicks was as good a sign as any that his intent was to discuss roles other than the one that takes place, well, on a sideline. He's testing these waters all over the place, it seems, to see what's available to him.
And while we wait for clarity on the New York front, the Detroit issue that Jackson discussed at length is, the person close to the situation said, most certainly worth watching going forward as well. Jackson, who has served as an unpaid consultant to Pistons owner, friend and fellow Los Angeles resident Tom Gores and embattled general manager Joe Dumars, went out of his way to make it clear that Dumars made the decision to hire since-fired coach Maurice Cheeks.
This is yet another relevant clue, because Jackson's initial job description when this news broke in May was, as the headline read on the Pistons' official website, "to advise on coach search." Fast forward 10 months, and Dumars is now widely believed to be on his way out and Gores is almost-assuredly considering how much control he might give Jackson were they to take this partnership to the next level.
And just to take this Pistons theory yet another step forward, feel free to connect these dots from the interview as well: When asked which coach is currently unemployed that shouldn't be, he answered with … Larry Brown. Never mind that the former Pistons coach who led Detroit to the title in 2004 is currently employed at Southern Methodist; this is the name Jackson chose. And by the way, Jackson would later go on to wax poetic about how the media is too tough on owners who decide to hire so-called retread coaches, as well as why teachers like himself and Brown are so effective (For those who wondered, I didn't mention Brown's short tenure as Knicks coach because that possibility seems implausible given the nature of his exit and his dynamic with owner James Dolan).
There's clearly no clarity about what lies ahead for Jackson. There is, however, more evidence than ever that Jackson remains the most interesting man in this world. The Dos Equis guy has nothing on him.

MORE MELO-DRAMA: Carmelo to Bulls overblown?
When it comes to free agents-to-be such as LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and the like, the possibilities are seemingly endless. That's especially true in early March, when all the questions about how each scenario might actually come to pass don't necessarily need answers yet because, well, it's early March.
So this week, the Anthony-to-the-Chicago Bulls scenario stole all the headlines when the New York Knicks star was reported to have plotted a possible partnership with Bulls big man Joakim Noah at All-Star weekend in New Orleans.
Yet one person with knowledge of the discussion told USA TODAY Sports that the extent of the talks were overblown and even intimated that Anthony's camp may have made a point to share their chat with the world as a way to remind the Knicks he is considering leaving that extra contract year and about $30 million behind by leaving New York this July. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the talks.
That's not to discount the possibility of Anthony landing with the Bulls, though they don't have the necessary salary cap space to sign Anthony and would need to make a number of moves to make this happen. No, it's only to point out that player politics will be part of this puzzle from here until July and much of what will transpire will need to be interpreted.
Case in point: the reported Jackson offer from the Knicks being leaked could – and we're spitballing here – be interpreted as their way of making sure Anthony knows that they're considering the biggest and the best in this business if it means he'll stick around.

SLOAN AFTERTHOUGHT: Morey's success helps things
One analytics-minded fellow at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in Boston last weekend posited this hypothetical: What if the Houston Rockets and their analytics-poster-boy, general manager Daryl Morey, were a terrible team at the moment? Would the event that continues to grow in size and relevance lose some of its luster? The answer, from Morey himself, is yes.
"Obviously our goal is to win and win championships, so if all the investment we've put in, that our owner has funded, didn't yield any results it would be a problem," Morey told USA TODAY Sports during the event. "There's a lot of luck involved in sport, and we've had our share of good and bad, but I do think it would affect the tone if there were teams that were having success obviously using analytics."
Luckily for Morey, the Dwight Howard- and James Harden-led Rockets are a robust 42-19, and he is being widely celebrated as the man who made it happen.

Title 55 - Aeronautics
Regional Airport Districts
SECTION 55-17-10. Designation of regional airport districts.
An airport district in this State containing an airport, served by air carriers or cargo carriers certificated and reported by the United States Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration may be designated as a regional airport district.
HISTORY: 1977 Act No. 205 Section 2; 2012 Act No. 270, Section 8, eff June 18, 2012.
Editor's Note
Section 1 of 1977 Act No. 205 provides as follows:
"The General Assembly has found it to be in the public interest to provide modern air transportation facilities capable of providing service for all modern air transport. To accomplish this, the General Assembly has heretofore created several airport districts and charged the governing authorities thereof with the functions of acquiring, planning, establishing, developing, constructing, enlarging, improving, maintaining, equipping, operating, regulating, protecting and policing airports and suitable air nevigation facilities.
"The General Assembly finds that the function of air transportation is not peculiar to a single county or counties. The providing and maintaining of modern air transportation service and facilities serves the needs of a large region of the state's population. The General Assembly has determined to designate certain airport districts in this State as regional airport districts.
"The General Assembly finds that some of the airport facilities are inadequate and from time to time are in need of repair and improvement and has theretofore determined to empower the governing authorities of such regional airport districts to issue general obligation bonds of the airport district."
Effect of Amendment
The 2012 amendment rewrote the section.
SECTION 55-17-20. Issuance of general obligation bonds by districts.
The governing authority of any regional airport district in this State, which has averaged on June 15, 1977, three hundred thousand or more enplaning passengers per year for the preceding three consecutive calendar years, as reported to and published by the United States Federal Aviation Administration, may issue, without an election, general obligation bonds of the district in an amount as is within the constitutional debt limit applicable to the district for the purpose of paying the cost of maintenance, construction, renovation, extension, enlargement, improvement, and acquisition of airports and suitable air navigation facilities; provided, however, that as a condition precedent to the issuance of bonds a majority of the members of each delegation, including members of the House of Representatives and the Senate whose districts are located either wholly or partially within an airport district, must give their prior written approval. All or any general obligation bonds issued pursuant to this chapter shall conform to the following specifications and be subject to the following procedures:
(a) They shall be issued as a single issue or from time to time as several separate issues. They shall be in such denominations, bear such date as the governing authority shall determine, and bonds of any issue shall mature in such equal or unequal installments as may be determined by the governing authority. They shall be made payable at such places as the governing authority shall prescribed, shall bear interest at such rates within the limitations of Section 11-9-350, and shall be payable in such manner as the governing authority may determine. The bonds may be issued with the privilege of having them registered as to principal on the books of the governing authority and the principal thus made payable to the registered holder (unless the last registered transfer shall have been to bearer), upon such conditions as the governing authority may prescribe. Any bond issued pursuant to this chapter may be made subject to redemption prior to its stated maturity, on such terms and conditions and with such redemption premium as the governing authority shall prescribe.
(b) They shall be sold at not less than par and accrued interest to the date of their respective deliveries at public sale. At least ten days prior to any sale, notice announcing the intention to receive bids for sale of such bonds shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the State of South Carolina. In offering the bonds for sale the governing authority shall reserve the right to reject any and all bids and if all bids shall be rejected, the governing authority may negotiate privately for the disposition of such bonds.
(c) Such bonds and all interest to become due thereon shall have the tax-exempt status prescribed by Section 12-1-60, Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1976.
(d) All general obligation bonds issued pursuant to this chapter shall be executed in a manner prescribed by the governing authority. The seal of the district shall be affixed to, impressed, or reproduced upon each of such bonds and each of such bonds shall be attested by the secretary of the governing authority. The coupons attached to such bonds shall be authenticated by a facsimile of the signature of the chairman and the secretary of the governing authority who shall be in office on the date of the adoption of the resolution of the governing authority authorizing the bonds.
(e) The delivery of any bonds so executed and authenticated shall be valid notwithstanding any changes in officers or seal occurring after such execution and authentication.
(f) There shall be irrevocably pledged for the payment of such bonds and interest as they mature the full faith, credit, and resources of the district. Until the principal and interest of all bonds issued under this chapter shall be fully paid, there shall be levied on all taxable property in the district an annual ad valorem tax sufficient to pay the principal and interest of all bonds issued under this chapter as such principal and interest become due. The tax shall be annually levied by the Comptroller General of South Carolina and collected by the county treasurer of the county or counties in which the district is located at the same time and in the same manner as county taxes are collected. Each of the county treasurers, if the district comprises more than a single county, shall collect the tax in his county and pay it to the State Treasurer in the manner and within the time heretofore provided by law for the payment of state taxes to the State Treasurer, who shall set them apart in a special fund and apply them solely to the payment of principal and interest of the bonds so long as any such principal or interest remains outstanding. The tax to be levied under the provisions of this item shall not be substantially greater than the amount necessary to pay principal and interest of bonds maturing during the year in which monies produced by such levy will come into the hands of the State Treasurer, as reduced by the anticipated balance of funds actually in the hands of the State Treasurer, on the occasion when it becomes necessary to fix such tax levy, produced by: (1) additional collections from such levies made in prior years; (2) net revenues derived by the governing authority from the operation of its facilities not required to meet costs of operating, maintaining, enlarging, improving, and acquiring its facilities. When all principal and interest of outstanding bonds have been paid, the State Treasurer shall transfer any balance remaining in the special fund created under the terms of this item to the general fund of the governing authority subject to its draft or order for any legitimate purpose incident to the operation, maintenance, or extension of the district's airport facilities.
(g) The proceeds derived from the sale of such bonds shall be deposited with the State Treasurer in a separate and special fund and shall be subject to transfer, upon warrants or orders of the governing authority to any bank or trust company having an office within the district, to be expended by the governing authority for the purpose of meeting any costs incurred in the issuance of the bonds and to meet the cost of maintenance, construction, renovation, extension, enlargement, improvement, and acquisition of airport facilities within the district and to no other purposes; provided, however, that any premium received shall be deposited with the State Treasurer and applied by him to the first installment of principal becoming due on the bonds and any accrued interest shall be applied to the first installment of interest becoming due on the bonds. Provided, further, pending such withdrawals, the State Treasurer shall, upon the request of the governing authority, be empowered to invest and reinvest the proceeds derived from the sale of the bonds in direct general obligations of the United States of America or any agency thereof having a maturity of not more than one year from the date as of which such investment shall be made. Income derived from such investments shall be subject to the transfer upon warrants or orders of the governing authority to any bank or trust company having an office within the district to be expended by the governing authority for the purposes of meeting the costs of issuing the bonds and any costs incurred in the maintenance, construction, renovation, extension, enlargement, improvement, and acquisition of any airport facility. Neither the purchaser of the bonds nor any subsequent holders thereof shall be responsible for the proper application of the proceeds of sales.
(h) The powers and authorizations hereby conferred upon the governing authority shall be in addition to all other powers and authorizations previously vested in it, and may be availed of at a special or regular meeting of the governing authority by resolution to become effective immediately upon its adoption at the meeting at which it is presented. No action other than that prescribed herein need be taken to affect the issuance of the bonds nor shall the governing authority be required to obtain the approval of any other public body or agency to any action taken pursuant to the authorization of this chapter. No election is prescribed as a condition precedent to the issuance of any bonds under the provisions of this chapter.
HISTORY: 1977 Act No. 205 Section 3; 2012 Act No. 270, Section 8, eff June 18, 2012.
Editor's Note
Section 11-9-350, referred to in item (a) of this section, was repealed by 1989 Act No. 122, Section 1. Section 12-1-60, referred to in item (c), was repealed by 1991 Act No. 50, Section 5.
Effect of Amendment
The 2012 amendment substituted "Federal Aviation Administration" for "Civil Aeronautics Board" in the first paragraph; substituted "affect" for "effect' following "No action other than that prescribed herein need be taken to" in subsection (h); and made other, nonsubstantive, changes.
SECTION 55-17-30. Severability clause.
If the provisions contained in the first paragraph of Section 55-17-20 relating to legislative approval are held to be unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction all the provisions of this chapter shall be null and void.
HISTORY: 1977 Act No. 205 Section 4; 2012 Act No. 270, Section 8, eff June 18, 2012.
Effect of Amendment

ATI Radeon HD 5850 review
Less is more with AMD's second-ranking 3D graphics chipset
AMD's wow factor pumps pixels across six monitors with ease
Another graphics card finds its way out of the ATI labs, but this time with a half-height PCB
It might be the world's first DirectX 11 graphics card. But as Jeremy Laird discovered, AMD's latest pixel pounder is also an old school bruiser.
AMD's latest pixel pounding beast is more of a mild overhaul of an existing GPU than an all new architecture. AMD says the chip itself is new, but functionally it's identical to the existing Radeon HD 4870.
Two graphics chips. One card. And a whole lotta rendering fun: that's the basic philosophy behind the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2, AMD's latest dual-GPU 3D card. Actually, that's the philosophy AMD has adopted for high-end graphics in general.
We're not big fans of multi-GPU graphics technology here on ye olde TechRadar. Whether you're talking SLI from NVIDIA or AMD's Crossfire, multi-GPU graphics solutions promise much but typically conspire to disappoint. Can the 4870 X2 change things?
Just how much are you willing to pay to have the fastest graphics card? That's always been a tricky question for PC gaming enthusiasts. But with the release of ATI's latest performance graphics chipset, the Radeon HD 4870, it's become a real conundrum. That's because AMD's graphics subsidiary has given up chasing the outright 3D performance crown. It is no longer even trying to create the fastest single GPU on the planet. Instead it has shifted its focus towards efficiency and value for money. As we discovered last week with our first look at the entry level member of the Radeon HD 4800 series, the 4850, ATI has done a stunning job. The 4850 is yours for a piffling £125 but delivers more performance than the fastest single-GPU graphics card available just a few months ago. Say hello to the 4870

Comments On Jul 05, 2012:I have used this suit many times now and it has never let me down. While riding it is comfortable and it breathes very well not like other rain wear that you get wet from sweating I would recommend this suit to anyone that wants a good set of rain wear. and best of all it packs down so small that it fits in its own pocket.

- "The guy is guilty as sin, he is sin. But, it'll take me a year to get the evidence. More maybe. Maybe good men will be taken down by that evidence. Maybe people make mistakes."
- ― Francis McReary
In Holland Nights, Francis wants Niko Bellic to kill a drug dealer, Clarence Little, in the East Holland projects.
The dealer is on the second floor. The main way to complete the mission is to chase him to the roof of the apartments. If he escapes, he runs to the roof, where you have to option to spare him or kill him. If you spare him, he will appear as a random character later. After you either kill him or spare him, police surround the building and you have to lose them. In rare occasions, he can steal a car and run away from Niko, leading to a car chase and also making the player unable to let Clarence live.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the projects in East Holland
- Take down Clarence
- Choose Clarence's fate
- Lose your wanted level
- East Holland Drug Gang
- Clarence Little (Optional)
Video Walkthrough
- Clarence Little (optional) - Killed by Niko on orders of Francis McReary.
- If you're dating Kiki, and are on good terms with her, you can call her to lose the wanted level. Another hint is to head to the river, located not too far in the East.
- It also helps to call Dwayne to send backup if you've spared him and his like percentage goes up enough to use the feature.
- At the beginning Clarence is standing on the second floor. You can throw a molotov to kill him.
- Another way to complete the mission is to go back out the gate which you entered to start the mission, go across the road to the crane in the alley, climb it and use a sniper rifle to shoot him. This way you don't get a wanted level and the mission is completed.
- The mission's title is a reference to the movie "Harlem Nights".
- The way Niko refuses to work for $2000, and asks for $5000 is similar to a scene in Rockstar Vancouver's Bully, specifically in a mission where the protagonist Jimmy Hopkins demands $5 when a student offers to pay him $2 for a task.
- It is also possible to kill him by accessing the police database, this however cancels the mission and doesn't get the player the money.
- After approaching Clarence he will run to the stairs and stop on the third floor. It is possible to use the other stairs and cross the roof top and walk down the stairs he is on causing him to run back down the stairs and leave the projects fleeing on foot eventually entering a car. Doing this removes the opporitunity to spare Clarence.
- If you try to use the sniper rifle on Clarence from ground level he will flee the moment the reticle moves over him, and you will be forced to chase him anyway.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- The Denver Broncos lead the NFL with 48 sacks, and all those crumpled quarterbacks can blame not only Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller but also Jack Del Rio and Peyton Manning.
Dumervil and Miller have 28 1/2 sacks, earning the league's most prolific pass-rushing tandem return trips to the Pro Bowl -- although they're determined to spend that all-star weekend preparing for the Super Bowl in New Orleans rather than enjoying the sand, surf and sun.
Miller's outlandish athletic ability and Dumervil's freakishly long arms that give him built-in leverage on every tackle he faces are two of the biggest reasons for the Broncos' league-best 10-game winning streak.
In their eyes, though, the credit for all these sacks goes to the team's two biggest offseason additions, Del Rio and Manning.

Communications and Public Affairs: 207-7234
Published on Tuesday, May 06, 2014
On Friday, May 9, 2014 at 10 a.m., the San Antonio Police Department will hold a day of homage for our 54 officers who have been killed in the line of duty. A ceremony will be held in the courtyard of the Police Training Academy, 12200 S.E. Loop 410 at Moursund Rd., to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
Each year, the President of the United States declares National Law Enforcement Week and Mayor Julián Castro has proclaimed Friday, May 9 as "Police Memorial Day."
In the Proclamation, Mayor Castro states: "… Police officers daily sacrifice their lives to uphold the laws enacted by its people and without their devotion to duty and to the people they serve, our many freedoms, as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights, could be circumvented by persons intent on harming society…it is important that our people know and understand the problems, duties and responsibilities of the police department and the necessity for cooperating with them in maintaining law and order…it is fitting and proper that we express our gratitude for the dedicated service and courageous deeds of the San Antonio Police Department and for the contributions they have made to the security and well-being of all our citizens…"
For this, the San Antonio Police Department will have a Memorial Service which will be highlighted by a 21-Gun Salute, the Sounding of Taps, a bagpiper playing "Amazing Grace," and a fly-over all conducted by San Antonio Police Officers.

Tanzania national karate team emerged victorious in the just ended east African championship staged in Kampala.
The weeklong championship saw Tanzanian karate players thrashing every opponent to sin a gold medal as confirmed by Abdullah Hussein, the Zanzibar Karate Association (Zashoka) chairman.
Mikidadi Kilindo who features for the Mainland team won the individual category to claim a gold medal.
Tanzania beat Kenya and hosts Uganda to the runners-up and third place to take home silver and bronze medals, respectively.
The tournament was preceded by a training seminar for coaches and players on new tactics of the game.
The seminar was conducted by an instructor from South Africa as attendants were awarded with certificates.
Mainland karate players were Sensei Jerome and Sempai Mikidadi as two Zanzibar players were appointed as judges during a Komite karate pattern that placed Kenya as winners.
Zanzibar's duo of Sensei Dula and Sempai Ali were appointed as judges.
Sensei Dula said the tournament was highly competitive as players from the region had slightly equal levels in terms of performance.
A tournament of similar magnitude will be staged in Nairobi later in September and Zanzibar gears up to compete.
Dula said karate stands a huge chance of flapping Zanzibar flag high at international fronts given support and improve its infrastructures.
He said the new seminar has helped karate players to make improvement while he also expressed appreciation to the national Sports Council of Zanzibar, BMTZ for the cooperation and financial assistance to take part in the Kampala tourney.
Besides winners Tanzania and hosts Uganda, other teams that took part in the tourney were Kenya and Burundi.

Cubs History A Blur
Early baseball history is often a blur of fact vs. fiction.
The case of HOF left-hander and former Cub, Rube Waddell, is no exception.
Luckily there are guys like Dan O'Brien, a well respected source on Waddell, who've dedicated countless hours to uncover the truths of baseball's past.
My latest 'Cubs History' piece featured Waddell's brief tenure with the Cubs. O'Brien was kind enough to fill me in on some slight inaccuracies with the post, and I've since updated the post accordingly. Below is a copy of his email to me.
-Email from Dan O'Brien:
I always love to see Rube Waddell references. You captured the basics of Rube's departure from Chicago's National League team but, as an admitted nitpicker where Rube is concerned, I have to point out some very slight inaccuracies in your recent column.
Rube didn't exactly bolt Chicago for a Pacific Coast League team. Chicago had suspended Rube near the end of the 1901 season. He then pitched for semi-pro teams in Wisconsin. In one memorable match-up, Rube faced fellow future Hall of Famer Addie Joss for the Wisconsin state championship. Joss's Racine team defeated Waddell's Kenosha club, 4-2, despite 19 strikeouts for Rube. Rube played football in the area and announced he would remain in Wisconsin.
However, Joe Cantillon enticed Rube join a West Coast barnstorming group of major league players. During the barnstorming tour, Rube signed to play with Jim Morley's Los Angeles team for the 1902 CALIFORNIA League season. The Pacific Coast League didn't play its first season until the following year (1903).
O'Brien has written a screenplay based on Rube's life. The script recently placed third in the Cherub Productions' Free Screenplay Contest, which received 1,986 entries from around the world.
