Photos: Target Field
The Royals touched down in the Twin Cities on Wednesday night. Kansas City had an off day today before their first game at the brand-new Target Field on Friday. A game was played at Target Field today – Minnesota hosted Boston in an afternoon matinee. Dave Holtzman, Director of Media Relations for the Royals, took the opportunity to be a fan for a day as he checked out the new stadium. Dave sent along these photos:
Here's a view to the "main" entrance of Target Field, Gate 29. The Gate, located in right field, is named in honor of Twins Hall of Famer Rod Carew.
A look toward center field from the seats in the right field bleachers that overhang the field by a few feet.
On the Budweiser Roof Deck in left field, there is a bonfire pit (left) that will warm the Minnesotans on cool early spring or early fall evenings.
Fans on the main concourse in left-center field can look down on the bullpens. Here Twins' hurler Francisco Liriano wraps up his warm up before making a start against Boston. Liriano would have a big day as Minnesota won, 8-0.

Target Field offers a ton of food options including walleye and pork chop on a stick.
The Fox Sports North pre and post-game studio is on the concourse in left field.
Gate 34, named in honor of Twins' great Kirby Puckett, is located next to Target Plaza in right-center.
There is a large sculpture of a Gold Glove just outside the park near Gate 34.
Hrbek's is a sports bar type restaurant off the main concourse, named after former first baseman Kent Hrbek.
Harmon Killebrew, who actually played for the Royals in 1975, hit 573 home runs in his career.

The Minneapolis light rail system stops just feet from Target Field beyond left field.
A view from the writing press box. The box was open-air on this day, but windows can be closed on cold nights.
Puckett statue – Mr. Twin Kirby Puckett is immortalized with a statue near his gate, Gate 34.
A view looking at the scoreboard from the top row of the upper deck in right.
A view looking toward home plate from the upper level in right.
On Level 2, there is a neat hallway featuring photos of all the other ballparks in baseball. You all will recognize this photo of the best ballpark in baseball!
A look toward center high up on the Budweiser Roof Deck, a standing room only section where tickets are $10.
In right center field, near Gate 34, some "wind art" was placed on the outside of a parking garage. When the wind blows, the thousands of small shingles wave back and forth and look like waves in the ocean. At night, this area will light up, adding one light per innings so fans can tell which inning the game is in without even looking at the scoreboard.

No, but that is super cool, please post some pics if he gets one.
Anyone get one this year?
My father is going to try for them on their annual Snowbird jaunt. They had about 15 feeding on their property in the desert one weekend.
Asked a game warden about them, and the game warden said they were fair game on a furbearer license. So he's going to try and get one this trip.
No, but that is super cool, please post some pics if he gets one.
I will, he has wanted one for a long time. He talked to a biologist down there and she told him to try and only shoot a big solitary male. That the females and young run in little social groups.
really? i thought those were in south america, guess arizona makes sense. thats cool
He had something wrong with his neck and is going into surgery next week. So they didn't make it to their Arizona snowbird camp, and probably won't this year. Just found out a couple days ago.

If you are sticking to a regular daily skin care regimen that consists of the basic steps including cleansing, moisturizing and protecting, you are well on your way to healthier and more beautiful skin. Sometimes it does a world of good to shake up your regular routine just a little by introducing a specialty treatment that will address your unique concerns. Exuviance by NeoStrata Masks are products designed to deliver a concentrated dose of treatment directly to the skin for a fairly short period of time. During and after this period, the skin benefits greatly.
Exuviance by NeoStrata Masks are supplemental products that can be added to your regular routine. Rather than replacing any of the steps you currently perform, add one of the Exuviance by NeoStrata Masks to your regimen and expect to see outstanding results. These beauty treatments can actually help your other products perform better by preparing your skin for hydration and active ingredients found in treatment products. Exuviance by NeoStrata Masks are a great way to pamper tired skin by allowing you a spa treatment without ever leaving the house.
Committing to a regular routine is a great way to improve the overall health and look of your skin. However, throwing a wrench into the mix occasionally can really do wonders, boosting your results and helping your other products perform better. Exuviance by NeoStrata Masks take only minutes just once a week and can transform your complexion.
Dull and tired looking skin will benefit the most from a regular weekly treatment with Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Masque. This is a gel masque treatment that stays on the skin for about 15 to 20 minutes. During this time the alpha hydroxy and polyhydroxy blend breaks up the cement that hold dull, dead skin cells together. This action exfoliates and refines the skin's surface while clearing the pores of clogging oils and debris. Vitamins and antioxidants nourish and protect the skin. You can either peel the masque off or rinse it off to reveal brighter, smoother and glowing skin.
Congested skin with excess oil and clogged pores should consider a regular detoxifying treatment that will remove impurities from the skin to leave it fresh and clear. Exuviance Purifying Clay Masque contains an absorbent clay which pulls impurities out of the pores and away from the skin's surface. Excess oils, dirt and other debris are eliminated, leaving the pores squeaky clean and the skin's surface clear and refined. This is a cooling treatment that relaxes stressed skin and restores comfort and balance. All you need is 5 to 10 minutes for a pure and refreshed complexion.

Orion SkyQuest XT10g Computerized GoTo Dobsonian Telescope
The Orion SkyQuest XT10g Computerized GoTo Dobsonian Reflector by Meade is a great advanced user telescope. Constructed with the latest technology, the Orion SkyQuest XT10g Computerized GoTo Dobsonian Reflector is made of the highest level of optics and mechanics, which may require more skill to master and appreciate, but offers the ultimate in performance. Using a system of mirrors to produce images, this Orion SkyQuest XT10g Computerized GoTo Dobsonian Reflector is excellent for faint deep sky objects like remote galaxies because of the larger aperture. They provide the brightest view per dollar spent.Features & Benefits:
- Fully computerized GoTo system.
- Finds and automatically tracks any of over 42,000 celestial objects.
The Orion SkyQuest XT10g GoTo Dobsonian is ideal for seeing details of deep space objects as well as the Moon and planets. Orion Dobsonians have always been known for superb optical and mechanical quality, wonderful ease of use, and remarkably affordable prices. One other thing they - and almost all other Dobs on the market - have had in common: you pushed the telescope to your observing target by hand. Until now. Orion is pleased to herald another giant leap in Dobsonian evolution with the introduction of the SkyQuest XTg series of fully motor driven GoTo Dobsonians. Now, pointing a Dob to even the most elusive of NGC curiosities is as easy as pushing a button or two on the XTg Dobsonians' illuminated hand controller. High-torque servo motors guided by two pairs of high-resolution encoders then slew the telescope right to your object of interest. No more nudging the telescope tube continuously to keep the object from drifting out of the field of view, either. The XTg automatically tracks the object's motion, keeping it centered in the eyepiece while you savor the view. What's more, the closed-loop electronics of the XTg let you move the telescope manually - or endure the accidental bump - without losing orientation for accurate, automated GoTo pointing!

Press Release 12-192 National Science Foundation Launches Arctic Research Vessel
R/V Sikuliaq will support marine research in the Arctic
The R/V Sikuliaq will be operated for NSF by the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
Credit and Larger Version
October 13, 2012
For high definition b-roll of the ship and construction, please contact Dena Headlee at email@example.com. Watch this video to learn more about the R/V Sikuliaq.
The National Science Foundation (NSF), in cooperation with the Marinette Marine Corporation (MMC) and the University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF) today successfully launched the R/V Sikuliaq (pronounced see-KOO-lee-ack), a "next-generation" global class research vessel. MMC is the Wisconsin shipyard that built the ship with funding provided by NSF through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. UAF's School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences will operate the ship as part of the U.S. academic research fleet.
"R/V Sikuliaq is one of the most advanced research vessels in the world," said NSF Director Subra Suresh. "Its capabilities to operate in extreme ecosystems will serve the science and engineering research communities for decades to come, while providing opportunities for educators and students to learn first-hand about the Arctic environment."
NSF invested nearly $200 million into R/V Sikuliaq, which was the first and largest single award made using NSF's Recovery Act funds. It is the academic fleet's first global class, ice-capable ship owned by NSF.
Although this 261-foot, general-purpose ship has a hull specifically designed to operate in Arctic sea ice and the open waters surrounding Alaska, it can work effectively throughout the world's oceans. It will support roughly 500 researchers and students annually and spend up to 270 days per year at sea. It is accessible to persons with disabilities. Sikuliaq will allow researchers to work in ice-covered waters not previously accessible on a routine basis, and play an essential role in our understanding of the Arctic Ocean system and how it is changing over time.
The new vessel's name, Sikuliaq, is an Inupiat word meaning "young sea ice." "The name 'Sikuliaq' reflects both our Alaska heritage as well as our focus on arctic research," said UAF Chancellor Brian Rogers.
The vessel will be uniquely equipped for operating in ice-covered waters, with a reinforced double hull, two rotating thrusters, and scalloped propeller blades enabling it to break through first-year ice up to 2.5 feet thick. The ship will also be outfitted with the latest technology for marine research, including a low underwater noise signature, advanced communications, acoustic sensors and advanced scientific equipment handling systems.
Sikuliaq will depart on its first science mission in early 2014. The ship will be home ported at UAF's Seward Marine Center in Seward, Alaska.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency that supports fundamental research and education across all fields of science and engineering. In fiscal year (FY) 2016, its budget is $7.5 billion. NSF funds reach all 50 states through grants to nearly 2,000 colleges, universities and other institutions. Each year, NSF receives more than 48,000 competitive proposals for funding and makes about 12,000 new funding awards. NSF also awards about $626 million in professional and service contracts yearly.

Right time to make a start! The placeholder was easy!!
Need to do some research about the area now.
Right time to make a start! The placeholder was easy!!
Need to do some research about the area now.
Eagerly awaiting...
Yeah, show us your progress
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
Sorry....zero so far...I'm currently too absorbed in my photography. But here's a picture of swan I took yesterday, and one of a couple of horses standing in front of my house (lol! I wish).
OK, you guys guilted me into making a start. I've drawn up a splatter diagram of how I see the city (it's going to be a huge job). I'm thinking about how I can break it down into discrete bits so it doesn't get too overwhelming. The interesting thing about doing the splatter diagram (which is how I generally approach city mapping). Is that it gives you an idea about what is important to show about the city before you begin to map it, which affects the style. It's almost like doing your own design brief.
Not sure I can work swans and horses into it though...maybe as undead creatures? Undead swans...now there's a thought. That one up there was giving my dog some seriously (un) deadly looks and went into aggression mode (the semi-furled wings), which was what gave me the shot <g>.
I'll spend a few days thinking of more ideas about the city and having mental walks through it, which will hopefully help me fill it out a bit more in my mind.
p.s. What do we know about the plague? I know that Torq kind of generally defined it, but do we know what it actually does to people and whether it affects only people or animals too?
Last edited by ravells; 12-21-2008 at 02:17 PM.
I recall somewhere that someone said the plague does affect some wildlife. Wolves, I think, so probably all canids. Since it's spread relatively slowly and hasn't popped up in multiple places, it probably doesn't affect any migratory animals, like birds, or hitchhikers such as rats or other vermin.
We know from Torq that an infected person develops a gray pallor. Other symptoms include physical weakness, perhaps a reduced constitution.
We also know that the aboriginal people of southeast Ansium seem to have some degree of immunity, which raises the possibility of a vaccine of some kind if whatever protection they possess can be isolated and reproduced. The epicenter at the moment seems to be somewhere in the vicinity of Lake Medre in the Tawaren Basin.
Torq's description of the Grey Watch also implies that there is some kind of dark presence manifesting in Tawaren, turning previously loyal Groamen against their countrymen. The plague does not produce significant quantities of undead, though the significance of the Grey Watch's change of allegiance has not yet been explored that I am aware of.
Bryan Ray, visual effects artist
Thanks Mid, that's really helpful. I think plague victims might just constitute 'food' in this city rather than any political force. It's an interesting situation....large city starts dying of the plague and politically implodes, the undead/flesh-eaters move in as there are not enough humans to protect it anymore and then the flesh-eaters themselves start getting the plague, which means more food for the flesh-eaters ... when they get hungry enough, which makes them prey themselves when they get the plague.
Anyway, I'm having a go at mapping the city proper and trying to find a lazy way of doing lots of streets / negative space quickly (I think I've found it - it's called the eraser). Here's what I have so far. The large buildings on the hills represent large palaces (not sure who is in them). The large building in the middle is the necropolis (undead central). the road network to the NE are my efforts at making a quick but believable road system with squares, nodes etc. The resolution is huge so my puter is chugging with it - this is a small render.

I hadn't seen that tutorial before. I'll definitely be taking a look.
Oh, and glad to see you've gotten started on the map. Can't wait!
Bit more time to work on the city today. I'm trying to get convincing positive & negative space and building distribution. I started by just using the eraser tool to carve out roads from the main piece, but it still didn't look right. So to give the negative space some definition (rather than it just being squares, circles and roads) I merge some random rectangles and circles together as a seperate shape and then subtract it from the main blocks from which I've already carved the roads. I think the results are begining to look quite good but I need to look at some reference material to check. The larger buildings are just place-holders for now. I'm also thinking of ways in which I can give the city some individual character.
It's interesting that to the right of the image the dark positive space is dominant and to the left the light negative space is how the shapes are defined.

BETH HARRIS, AP Sports Writer
Missy Franklin pranked California women's swimming coach Teri McKeever when it came time for the five-time Olympic medalist to announce her college choice.
The 17-year-old lured McKeever into thinking she had lost out on arguably the most decorated recruit to enter college swimming. Eventually, Franklin fessed up and McKeever breathed a sigh of relief.
Franklin made it official on Wednesday, signing a national letter of intent to swim for the Golden Bears starting next September. The Centennial, Colo., resident plans to swim collegiately for two years and then turn pro before the 2016 Rio Olympics.
McKeever says the plan is for Franklin to earn her college degree and continue training with the Bears as part of their post-graduate ranks, which have included Olympic champions Natalie Coughlin and Dana Vollmer.

What are the delicious fragrances of the Indonesian rainforest? A balanced combination of freesia, jasmine, bergamot and rose with just a touch of coconut. Juara skincare bath and body sets immerse you in the scents of a fresh tropical breeze, rejuvenating your body and spirit each time you bathe.
There's more to caring for your skin than simply washing and then slathering on just any kind of lotion. You deserve a better experience. Over time, dirt and toxins can build up on and inside your skin, impacting its youthful appearance and perhaps even your overall health. Juara skincare bath and body sets make it easier to combat many signs of skin aging through carefully-chosen antioxidant ingredients borrowed from the wisdom of the rainforest. Modern skincare science and the best ancient beauty secrets all delivered right to you.
Create beautiful rituals around caring for your skin through bath and body sets from Juara skincare, and save money over buying each product separately. Give Juara skincare bath and body sets as a gift to someone you deeply love, and be sure to treat yourself to the heavenly experience as often as possible.
Skin care treatments can be luxurious with Juara skincare bath and body sets. Whether you need balanced ingredients to fight oily skin or struggle with dehydrated, dull skin, natural rainforest botanicals hold the key to healthy cleansing.
You may already know about the health benefits of drinking tea, but now you can apply these detoxifying effects to your skin, too. Juara Tiare Jasmine Tea Bath and Body Ritual uses extracts of green, white and black teas as antioxidant ingredients. Tea extracts are anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, cleansing and soothing your skin. They neutralize UV light, fighting the aging effects of sun exposure. Beauty treatments containing tea extract help rejuvenate and nourish skin cells and restore a youthful glow. Who knew you could get so much power in the shower! This unique bath and body set contains both Tiare Jasmine Tea Bath Shower Gel and Tiare Jasmine Tea Body Milk, for a complete cleansing and hydrating system in one convenient kit.
Hundreds of years ago, Indonesians discovered the unique benefits of kemiri (candlenut) oil and now you can possess this beauty secret in the Juara Candlenut Soap Set. Candle nut oil has a high concentration of Omega-3 essential fatty acids, especially linoleic acid and linolenic acid.

Apart from the things below, 5.0.18 FOSS -> 6.0.1 FOSS on Ubuntu 8.04LTS went very smoothly!
1) SSH session quit in middle of upgrade (VPN dropped!!!) - scripts complete none-the-less
2) Zimlets un-deployed themselves - date & email still not deployable
3) Lost stats - a bit annoyed by this
Can't wait for 6.0.2...
End of day update:
I've spent most of the day showing people around the new features of GnR. The verdict: they LOVE it! Particular hits are fish-eye days in month calendar and composing/reading in new tabs. Personally, my favourite is the reading-pane-on-right - top marks ZCS team!

Hades Improved Finger Chopper
Item Number: TA2165
You ask a spectator to examine both pieces of this two piece, guillotine style finger chopper. They find the blade to be solid, and the stocks solid as well. You then take the two pieces back, and place your finger in opening of the "stocks." You then slide the blade piece through both the stocks and your finger, but your finger remains miraculously intact! You can then hand both pieces back to the spectator for further examination.

Nice job Ravs!
This is the final of a commission I've been working on for an author (afaik unpublished but he seems to be going places having won a scholarship to an SF&F workshop run by authors such as George RR Martin).
Apart from the ornamental pictures (from stock) and a few elements like the trees, it's all done in vector. I've never attempted anything on this scale before, and it was a good learning process. It probably took something in excess of 70 hours, but a lot of that was experimenting.
Best viewed zoomed in a way using adobe reader.

That looks great, Ravs. I love how you've laid it all out with the illustrations and the title etc. Looks very effective.
As for the city... that looks like quite some work. :S Whenever I see a city posted on here I feel both relief that it is someone else doing it and not me and also guilt that I am yet to dare attempt one. Hehe.
Good stuff.

Crazy city! That's a heck of a lot of work and you pulled it off quite nicely. Have some rep...if I can.
Fantastic. So what are your final conclusions to doing such a big map in vector. What worked and what would you change next time ? How slow (and app stable) were the edits come the end ?

Very cool - I love the 'flavor' this has.

I'm a bit disappointed with it, truth be told. I was experimenting as I went along and each neighbourhood has such a different look I don't think it really holds together. But it did fit the brief so I guess from that point of view I'm happy. I really don't like the way some roads are far too wide or that gradations of the buildings are a bit clumsy from high density to low density.....but I learned a lot, so I reckon my next effort will be much better.
Ravells, I would like to know more about how you put that map together. Even if I can't use it for this map due to size, I think it'd still be interesting to try.
I love the way this map is laid out. It just oozes talent and class
Our sense of the stability of the earth is an illusion due to the shortness of our lives.
- Neil deGrasse Tyson
Hi lisze. It was all done in vector, but in Drawplus, not inkscape. Here's what I did:
1. Draw the roads as lines.
2. Converted lines into objects and merged them into a single object (call the result 'road object'). You could just autotrace your raster roads (I'm pretty sure Inkscape (IS) has an autotrace plug-in).
3. Gave the road object a white fill and black line.
Road Shape in Monketon
I went to Open Street Maps, downloaded an svg file of London and deleted everything except the roads, and made my road object of that. Then it was just a case of putting the roads over a background gray fill of the whole of monketon and subtracting the road shape. This leaves the buildings which I coloured gray and gave a a black outline to. It means each building is a separate object which gives you some flexibility about using different colours for different types of buildings etc. (although I didn't do that in this map).
For the house style in South Mondine and Central Jaz.
4. Copy the road shape, pasted on a new layer and used 'line styles' to add the buildings. I don't know what the equivalent in IS is, but it's a function which acts a bit like a spray brush where you can load a number of elements into the brush and it puts them along a line you draw. The elements were house shapes from a free programme called 'context free'. Another member of the site wrote the code to get it to produce house shapes. See this thread.
5. So by using the linestyle function on the copy road shape I got it to add the houses, but each house is a separate vector object. I then merged all the vector house shapes and gave them a gray fill and a black line.
For the city blocks
These were just flat gray behind the road object
For the 'ruined house effect in Mangar'
This was a nightmare to do, but it was based on the above principles with lots of fiddling. I've forgot how I got there as there was so much reworking.
Hope that kind of helps (or at least gives you a few ideas). I had to deal with a lot of crashes when merging buildings (best to to do it a few at a time).

Yes. Another one of these threads. And no, I'm not SIAP.
I've got a lot invested in google and such, and although I don't mind Apple, I'm really not interested in the iPhones or anything.
I've been checking out the Droid DNA, but... not sure. The Razr Maxx HD looks pretty darn sweet, but I'm not sure if I need all those guts.
Since it's been a while for me when it comes to getting a new phone (HTC Incredible), I guess I don't really know when the best time to go buy one is, and if I'm going to drop decent cash on a phone, I'd rather not do that and then either a bunch of sales happen, or the next wave of new stuff.
Is there anything coming out that I should wait for? I can wait probably 2 months max, although the sooner the better.
The artist formerly known as SouthernHawk
Don't wait for the "new" phone to come out. You will be waiting your whole life to get a new phone.
Who is your carrier?
I don't do signatures. Blondes, brunettes, and red heads are a different story.
The best Android phone you can buy, as of December 2012 (International edition) | Android Central
I like the nexus phones for less carrier garbage, but the latest one is only available as a gsm phone. The SIII seems to be the overwhelming consumer choice. Also the screen sizes keep going up, don't know if that matters to you, some people like it and some don't. The MWC is also coming up in a couple of months, and new phones will be coming out, but timing is hard to pick really. In 5 months whatever you get will most assuredly be dated. :)
It sounds like youre on verizon.
Right now id probably say the best is the Galaxy s 3 or the droid dna if youre re-upping your contract and want the latest and greatest.
At the same time, ive got no complaints about the Galaxy Nexus i got a few months ago, and you can get them for decently cheap off contract (important if you have unlimited data and want to keep that), plus your updates will come faster than on any other verizon phone.
I had an incredible, and liked it, but unfortunately HTC hasnt really released a great phone on verizon since then, dumbing down their incredible line. The droid DNA may change that. Ive read that sense really hasnt adapted well over time though, i prefer vanilla android that a nexus has. (and the GS3's customizations stay out of the way a lot more than sense does)

I too have a Nexus on verizon, wouldn't trade it for another android phone at this point.

Another thumbs up for Nexus here.
Follow me on twitter. I complain about the Twins' roster management, you complain about the forecast, etc...
Nexus lover here as well.
It's the best phone for custom ROMS as well.
I have the same scenario as the OP, currently have an Incredible w/ Verizon looking to upgrade without losing my unlimited data.
Have been looking at the Maxx HD & GSIII but haven't really wanted to drop that much money. I'll have to look into the Nexus some more.
I got the Galaxy Note II a month ago and I love it. Battery life is strong, and I've had no problems with slowness. It is very large though, and if you are normal sized (I'm 6'4") you will probably want the Galaxy S3. It's plenty big enough.

I just upgraded to the Droid DNA and absolutely love it.
I sat on my Incredible for a whole year waiting for the right phone to hit the market. The DNA was it for me. The screen and processor are currently peerless in the market. Sealed battery and no SD slot don't matter to me. Built in wireless charging is handy for times I do need to bump charge. Fantastic phone.
Note II is also a great phone. A little too big for me, and I don't care for Samsung's gimmicky stuff like S-Voice and S-Beam that already exist in Android.
Motorola is 9 months late to the party with the Razr HD line. Dual-core Snapdragon with a 720p screen? HTC, Samsung and LG have all moved beyond those specs. The MAXX was the go-to because of the battery for most of the last year, but the Note II has all the battery life in a much better package.
The only credit I'll give Motorola is that the Razr M is a solid midrange phone. Good internals, manageable size, Jelly Bean with Google Now and priced to move.
My family has 4 Droid HD Maxx and have had no problems, except for the wife. She cannot figure out how to use all the features, but she also had problems on a simple phone making call and texting.
This is like asking which is the better team at the bottom of the crappy B10 conference. Should I pick Iowa or Minny.

Look back at RiRi's evolution in photos!
RiRi is 26, and she's grown a lot since she first started. Take a look back on the evolution of Rihanna and her style!
Rihanna - real name Robyn Rihanna Fenty - grew up in Barbados and got her start in 2003 when she met American record producers Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers (who she met through mutual friends in her home land). She performed renditions of the songs "Emotion" and "Hero."

News Release: Associated Press
July 31, 2014
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal is reaching out to leaders of the state's Latino community to learn more about unaccompanied minors from Central American nations who are in Georgia, and to share concerns and seek solutions.
After meeting with a group from the Latino community Wednesday, Deal said in a statement that officials are trying to find out where the minors are staying and that he asked the group for information they're gathering in the community.
WSB-TV reports that Deal opened Wednesday's meeting only to Spanish-speaking media outlets.
Brian Robinson, a spokesman for the governor, told The Associated Press in an email Thursday that the issue is important to all Georgians, but has even deeper resonance in the Latino community so the governor wanted to speak directly to that community.

SANFORD � A 17-year-old from High Point has been charged with shooting a man to death in Sanford in early December.
Police say the teen was already jailed on unrelated charges on Sunday when detectives served him with warrants including first-degree murder and obstruction of justice.
Sanford police say the teen shot 31-year-old Stacey Morrison to death on December 8. Officers were called to a residential area at around 3:30 that morning, where they found Morrison suffering from a gunshot wound.
Morrison later died at a hospital.
The teen remained jailed without bond on Tuesday. It wasn't immediately known if he had an attorney.
