Marvel Studios Schedules Five New Mystery Projects Through 2019
by Ethan Anderton
July 20, 2014
Source: Marvel
Without a doubt we'll be getting a whole slew of updates from Marvel Studios later this week when Comic-Con gets into full swing in San Diego beginning with the convention's preview night on Wednesday, July 22nd. And before the big show begins, we've got a tease of what we might hear about when Kevin Feige takes the stage in Hall H on July 26th. Marvel has just announced release dates for five new films to hit theaters from 2017 through 2019, but it's no surprise that no titles have been revealed for these projects. And they join two other projects that already had release dates announced, but no titles revealed. Read on!
First of all, here's the movies we already knew were on the schedule:
The Avengers: Age of Ultron - May 1st, 2015
Ant-Man - July 17th, 2015
Captain America 3 - May 6th, 2016
Untitled - July 8th, 2016
Untitled - May 5th, 2017
And now Marvel just revealed five more projects are planned for release on these dates:
July 28th, 2017
November 3rd, 2017
July 6th, 2018
November 2nd, 2018
May 3rd, 2019
Certainly one of those titles is Doctor Strange with director Scott Derrickson (Deliver Us from Evil, Sinister) getting behind the camera with a script from Prometheus writer Jon Spaihts. We're probably going to get some big updates on that film at Comic-Con, but we're guessing that's the film that will arrive in July of 2016, since that's the most immediate developing project at the moment. But maybe there's a chance that the 2016 date could just as easily belong to Thor 3, since there's likely at least one more movie for the God of Thunder in the works after the cliffhanger ending of Thor: The Dark World.
As for the rest of the dates, it's anyone guess as to what those films might be. There have been rumblings about Black Panther for awhile, along with some rumblings about Ms. Marvel (there need to be some more female superheroes). But of course, it's likely that Guardians of the Galaxy 2 could get one of those spots (there's been rumors of a crossover with Hulk following the events of The Avengers: Age of Ultron). We wouldn't count on another Iron Man movie since Robert Downey Jr. is only signed for the two Avengers movies. Maybe a standalone Black Widow movie will take one of those slots? Could The Inhumans finally be making their way to the big screen? We're just not sure, but Marvel supposedly has a timeline plan that runs through 2028, so anything is possible.
What's curious is that there isn't a May release date until 2019, and that's the month that has been reserved for The Avengers. The first assembly arrived on May 4th, 2012 and The Avengers: Age of Ultron hits next summer on May 1st, 2015. That makes May 3rd a prime release spot for The Avengers 3, which means there would be a whole extra year between the second and third team-up of Earth's mightiest heroes. But if Thanos and The Infinity Gauntlet story ends up being where all these films are leading to in The Avengers 3, there's plenty of stuff do before then. Or maybe The Avengers 3 will just get that July 2017 release, and the films coming after that will be part of Phase Four in the cinematic universe. Thoughts?

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to enhancing displayable text.
2. Description of Related Art
A graphical user interface or GUI is a graphical representation or presentation of information. Various options that provide the user with the ability to manipulate information and data may be presented in a GUI that may consist of a window or menu. For example, customer information such as a customer name, contact name, address, and zip code may be presented to a user in a visually appealing manner such that the words "Customer Name" appear next to a text field box with a space for a name, the words "Contact Name" appear next to a text field box with a space for a name, the word "Address" appears next to a text field box with a space for an address, and the words "Zip Code" appear next to a text field box with a space for a zip code. The field names (i.e., Customer Name, Contact Name, Address, and Zip Code) may be displayed in a specific font or color with the text field boxes (or the information in the text field boxes) in the same or different font or color. Thus, the GUI provides for the display of the information.
Commonly, a GUI representation of information is displayed in a window with several standard components that are displayed regardless of the type, style, or content of the information to be displayed by the GUI. A display may be contained within a frame. The top of the window may have a title bar for which a title may be specified. Below title bar may be a menu bar. The menu bar may be associated with various capabilities. The menu bar may have various submenus. Each submenu may be a menu itself or a command that can be selected by the user.
A "web browser" is an application program used for viewing HTTP (web) files and navigating through linked web files. The web files may include hyperlinks which, when activated by the user cause a corresponding web page to be displayed. Hyperlinks may also cause other events, such as the launching of programs or routines (e.g., causing a blank email message to be opened with a predefined address).
Efforts have been made in integrating the Web with telephony applications. One such popular application is the placing of telephone calls from PC to a regular telephone. A user can place a call to a regular telephone from the Web using Dialpad (Dialpad Communications, Inc.) or Net2Phone (Net2Phone, Inc.). In these applications, a user must manually enter a telephone number each time he wishes to initiate a call, or pick a telephone number from a structured list stored by and only available from the dialing application. In view of the success of such products and services, one could conclude that the users were satisfied and there has been no motivation to seek other solutions.
Some companies, in conjunction with their sales and customer-support efforts, have added a "call me" or "call-back" function to their web sites. With these functions, a user who browses to the company's web site may then manually enter his own telephone number and other information into a web page. The company's computers then initiate the call back to the user.
Throughout this description, the embodiments and examples shown should be considered as exemplars, rather than limitations on the apparatus and methods of the present invention.
Description of the System
Referring now to
The client computer 100 may comprise a general purpose computer. The client computer 100 may be, for example, a PC running a Microsoft Windows operating system. The client computer 100 may include an output device, such as a display 101, and an input device, such as a keyboard 102 and/or a pointing device 103 (e.g., mouse, track ball, light pen, or data glove). The client computer 100 may be a computing device such as a workstation, server, portable computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), computing tablet, two-way messaging device (e.g., Blackberry™), smart display terminal, and the like. The client computer 100 connects with and communicates on the data network 120 and includes an interface therefore. The client computer 100 may comprise an assembly of devices, such as a television and a set-top box which interfaces to the data network 120.
The client computer 100 includes software and/or hardware for providing the functionality and features of the invention. The client computer 100 may therefore include one or more of: logic arrays, memories, analog circuits, digital circuits, software, firmware, and processors such as microprocessors, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), programmable logic devices (PLDs) and programmable logic arrays (PLAs). The hardware and firmware components of the client computer 100 may include various specialized units, circuits, software and interfaces for providing the functionality and features of the invention. The invention may be embodied in whole or in part in software which operates on the client computer 100 and may be in the form of an application program, an applet (e.g., a Java applet), a browser plug-in, a COM object, a dynamic linked library (DLL), a script, one or more subroutines, an operating system component or service, or a terminate and stay resident program (TSR). The hardware and software of the invention and its functions may be distributed such that some components are performed by the client computer 100 and others by other devices.
The data network 120 provides lower layer network support for the client computer 100 to interact with other devices, including the web server 130 and the gateway 140. The data network 120 is packet-switched and may comprise a common or private bi-directional data network, and may be, for example the Internet.
The web server 130 may be of the type known in the art and has the ability to serve web pages to the client computer 100, as requested in the manner known in the art. It should be appreciated that the web server 130 is representative of any source of web pages available to the client computer 100. Thus, for example, the web server 130 could be accessible from the Internet, or it could be a part of an intranet and represents any number of web servers.
The PSN 160 is a common carrier network which provides circuit switching and/or IP telephony between public users. The PSN 160 may be the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The PSN 160 may operate according to standards such as SS6 or SS7.
The telephones 170 may be ordinary analog telephones connected to the PSN. The telephones 170 may be digital devices (e.g., SIP devices or telephone sets connected through a PBX) for providing voice communications. The telephones 170 may also be wireless voice communications devices such as cell phones. There may be one or more telephones 175 located proximate the client computer 100, or in a location under common control of the user of the client computer 100. The telephone 175 is of the same type as the telephone 170.
The switch 150 may be a voice switch, circuit switch and/or an IP switch and may be compliant with standards such as SS6 or SS7. The switch 150 is compatible with the PSN 160, and has the ability to set up and tear down telephone connections in the PSN 160.
The gateway 140 interfaces between the packet-switched data network 120 and the switch 150. The gateway 140 may be a signaling gateway platform (SGP), which is an intelligent service exchange node that integrates services between circuit and packet networks. The gateway 140 may be integrated into the PSN 160 or the switch 150.
Description of the Methods
Referring now to
The phone number object 230 may include one or more telephone numbers. For example, each telephone number in a data unit may correspond to a single object. Alternatively, each data unit may have a single phone number object for all of its telephone numbers. Alternatively, there may be a single phone number object for all telephone numbers identified by the client computer 100, or for all telephone numbers for a given application program.
By "data unit," it is meant a defined group of data. The data unit 210 must be of a type which can include a telephone number which is displayable on a display (e.g., display 101 in
The phone number object 230 may include the telephone number and/or may include a reference to the telephone number within the data unit 210. The phone number object 230 is defined such that the telephone number is activatable. Once activated, a telephone call may be initiated from a trigger from the client computer 100 through the data network 120 to the switch 150 via the gateway 140. The telephone call may be a dual leg telephone call which connects the user's telephone 175 and one or more other telephones 170 via the PSN 160. In the dual leg telephone call, one leg is used to dial the user's telephone directly, while the other terminates the telephone call to a telephone associated with a telephone number associated with the displayed phone number object. That is, the trigger causes the switch to place a call to the user's telephone and a call to a telephone number associated with the displayed phone number object, and then bridge the two calls together. The trigger may identify the telephone numbers to be dialed.
Although the phone number object 230 may be considered as an "object" in the sense of object-oriented programming, the phone number object 230 may transcend the limitations of object-oriented programming. Thus, the phone number object 230 may represent, for example, a flag in a data structure which is used to indicate performance of a separate subroutine. The phone number object 230 may be viewed as including "hooks" for allowing initiation of telephone calls using the corresponding telephone number. The phone number object 230 therefore is a shorthand for an attachment between a displayed telephone number and telephone call initiation functions.
Referring now to
In a first step (step 310), a data unit is presented. A data unit may be "presented" when the data unit is passed to a functional unit which will perform later processing. In this case, the functional unit is considered to be passive. Alternatively, a data unit may be "presented" when a functional unit which will perform later processing fetches the data unit. In this case, the functional unit is considered to be active.
All data units available to the client computer 100 may be presented. However, it may be desirable to limit presentation of data units to those of certain characteristics. Presentation may be limited or triggered based upon data characteristics such as storage location (e.g., specified folders), file type, file format, data format or file size.
Presentation may also be limited or triggered based upon events, such as when particular application programs call up data units, or when data units are about to be displayed. When the user makes a selection (e.g., of an icon or option), such selection is referred to as an "event." Upon the occurrence of an event, an action or command may be initiated.
Presentation may also be limited or triggered by a combination of data characteristics and events. For example, step 310 may be performed only on word processing documents, spreadsheet documents, email documents, instant messages (IM), contact files and web pages. Furthermore, step 310 may be further restricted such that it is performed only when the corresponding application is displaying the data unit.
Next, the data unit is scanned for telephone numbers (step 320). The data unit may be parsed or otherwise processed using one or more algorithms for identifying telephone numbers. For example, the data unit may be scanned for a series of numerals in the exact pattern "(XXX) XXX-XXXX." Alternatively, a more generic algorithm would search for a series of four or more digits, with no intervening characters except a dash or matched parentheses. The particular algorithm used will depend on a number of factors, including the degree of desired accuracy, the processing capabilities of the client computer, the desired efficiency or speed, and the types of telephones numbers which should be identified.
After telephone numbers are identified (step 330), the telephone numbers may be wrapped as phone number objects (step 340).
Steps 330-340 may be performed on all or only a limited number of telephone numbers per data unit. Step 340 may be performed on all telephone numbers within a data unit, or may be limited to those telephone numbers having desired qualities.
The user may be provided with options to control which data units are processed. This may be useful if the display of a source document must remain true. For example, a user may wish that data units located in a particular folder, or having a particular file format, or having some format of file name, should be skipped. There may be available to the user a display of options, such that the display lists which applications and which file types are available for processing, and the user can make selections or deselections as desired. Also, data files may include an indicator that their display should not be altered.
Steps 310-340 are performed automatically, and may always begin or may always be completed before the data unit is displayed. Steps 310-340 may be performed in conjunction with, as a consequence of, or be triggered by a command, instruction or event to display the data unit. For example, a normal display function may be altered to cause steps 310-340 to be performed.
In a second alternative, immediately after a normal display, the telephone numbers or the entire data unit may be redisplayed such that the telephone numbers are conspicuous. In a third alternative, the normal display of the telephone numbers may be overlaid with the conspicuous attributes.
A telephone number may be made conspicuous in many ways. For example, the displayed telephone number may have a distinctive color or font, or it may be underlined or highlighted. The telephone number may be displayed such that it appears identical or similar to a hyperlink. The display may be conspicuous at all times, or may be temporary, such as on mouse roll-over. The conspicuous display may be a "right-click" menu, so that when a user uses a mouse to click on the telephone number with a secondary mouse button, a menu of options may be displayed adjacent the telephone number.
Furthermore, different types of telephone numbers may have different attributes. For example, local and toll-free telephone numbers may be displayed in one color (e.g., green), and long distance telephone numbers may have a different color (e.g., blue).
Once displayed, the user may wish to activate the telephone number. Thus, an activation instruction by the user of a displayed telephone number may be detected (step 360). Next, a telephone call is caused to be initiated using the displayed telephone number (step 370). This initiation may be achieved by sending a call trigger to a switch to initiate a dual leg telephone call. In the dual leg telephone call, one leg is used to dial the user's telephone directly, while the other terminates the telephone call to a telephone associated with the displayed telephone number. That is, the trigger causes the switch to place a call to the user's telephone and a call to the displayed telephone number, and then bridge the two calls together.
Referring now to
For example, contact management databases typically store records comprising a contact's name and one or more telephone numbers for the contact. In such a case, it may be desirable to provide streamlined activation of the associated telephone number if the user activates a display of the contact's name. In this example, the contact's name is a name object.
In a first step (step 410), a data unit is presented in the manner discussed with respect to step 310 (
Steps 430-440 may be performed on all or only a limited number of the name objects and the telephone numbers per data unit. Step 440 may be performed on all name objects and telephone numbers within a data unit, or may be limited to those name objects and/or telephone numbers having desired qualities.
Steps 410-440 are performed automatically, and may always begin or may always be completed before the data unit is displayed. Steps 410-440 may be performed in conjunction with, as a consequence of, or be triggered by a command, instruction or event to display the data unit. For example, a normal display function may be altered to cause steps 410-440 to be performed. Alternatively, steps 410-440 may be performed in a database system in conjunction with creating, modifying or accessing records.
When the name objects are displayed as part of a display of the data unit, the name objects have a display attribute which renders the name objects conspicuous to a user (step 450) in a manner akin to that discussed with respect to step 350 (
Once displayed, the user may wish to activate the name object. Thus, an activation instruction by the user of a displayed name object may be detected (step 460). Next, a telephone call is caused to be initiated using the telephone number associated with the displayed name object (step 470). This initiation may be achieved by sending a call trigger to a switch to initiate a dual leg telephone call. In the dual leg telephone call, one leg is used to dial the user's telephone directly, and the other terminates the call to a telephone associated with the telephone number associated with the name object. That is, the trigger causes the switch to place a call to the user's telephone and a call to the telephone number associated with the displayed name object, and then bridge the two calls together.
Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art that a number of changes, modifications, or alterations to the invention as described herein may be made, none of which depart from the spirit of the present invention. All such changes, modifications and alterations should therefore be seen as within the scope of the present invention.

When you think about a photography event, what springs to you mind immediately? Gorgeous models, stunning landscapes, breathtaking wildlife, dollar signs perhaps.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with indulging in what we deem as worthy subjects for our cameras, but from time-to-time, there are more meaningful and beneficial acts carried out through photography – and this medium is a powerful way to get some charity work done quickly and effectively.
Honoring Charity Events Big or Small
In this article, I'm simply going to
present honor some great photography acts held recently aimed to help others in more ways than one. I hope you'll like this.
Brian Baer of Baer Photography
Brian Baer's company, Baer Photography found a simple and effective way to help the Kearney Area Animal Shelter's need for food supply for its animal residents by accepting only pet food as payment from his clients. Owners of more fortunate pets can use pet food to pay for their own pet's portraits.
For Baer Photography, not only will he get a healthy dose of new clientele, he'll also be raising a serious amount of pet food for the shelter as Jamie Jensen, director of operations at the Kearney Animal Shelter mentioned:
"Food is a large expense for our shelter. We are very appreciative and happy to accept approved items, monetary donations and we are always looking for additional volunteers."
For more info, visit Baer Photography's Website.
Teresa Berg Gives Pooches A Better First Impression
Like it or not, we judge most things in life visually, and for dogs who are looking for a new home, poorly taken dog photos practically guarantees they'll never find one and end up being put down.
Teresa Berg had a simple idea, an idea that only a photographer could think of – make the dogs likeable!
Unlike humans, dogs don't get a second chance to show who they really are beyond the mugshot that most adoption posters give them. Most of the time, the dog photos appear like viscous, red-eyed monsters ready to tear your head off even if they're perfectly docile.
Teresa's studio shots of these homeless dogs turned out so well that 100% of the dogs she photographed ended up being adopted in a very short period of time.
To know more about Teresa, visit her website.
International Education Aid with Photography
Photography Without Borders is an Australian-based organization that recruits photographers from all over the world to create fantastic images to sell and a large part of the proceeds goes back to fund schooling projects of that particular area that was shot.
Quite smart! What better way to say thanks to the land that gave you a splendid photograph than give back to the entire community?
If you're interested, go check out Photographers Without Borders' website.
Be There At Their Lowest Point, Parents Need Comfort Too
Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep has one of the most tear-jerking charity drives and I honestly can't think of a more direct and personal way to help a devastated family through photography.
NILMDTS helps parents cope with the passing of their unborn or newborn child through great photographic memories that gives life to the young child that never had a chance to see the world.
The photographers are given training kits and well-planned guidelines to give lasting, positive, and healing images of the babies so that the parents can heal and cope with the indescribable pain of losing a child.
Visit Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep here.
Social Change through Photography
Founded by Anna Blackman and Tiffany Fairey, PhotoVoice is one of the most established photography charities around today.
By introducing photography to those in need, PhotoVoice events enable the beneficiaries to speak through their photographs, not just with words. Opening the visual story telling that only a first-person perspective can tell.
From issues on poverty, human rights, children's suffrage, and more, PhotoVoice's professional approach goes beyond commercial photojournalism.
Check out the PhotoVoice website for more info.
Connecting the Supply with Demand
Photo Philanthropy bridges the gap between charities and non-profits' need for photographers and photographers who are constantly looking for meaningful projects to work on.
An annual award for collaborations between photographer and non-profit organization opens up a path for amateur photographers, students, and even professionals to respected social campaigns and media attention as well.
Visit www.photophilanthropy.org for more details.
The Power of Imagery
This goes without saying, photographs transcend and break barriers of communication. An image can change things for the better, or sometimes for worse. But regardless of what genre of photography you're into, there's bound to be a way for our talent to benefit the society as a whole, and not just our ego.
Why not check out some of the organizations and ideas above and maybe you can start something of your own to help a cause you're passionate about?
If you have any ideas you want to share and brainstorm, voice them out in the comment section below, you'll never know who might find your idea profound enough to start something big.

Red-faced locals are campaigning to change the name of the famous Brown Willy - in a bid to make it more attractive to tourists as well as residents.
Campaigners want the hill to be officially called its original 13th Century Cornish name, Bronn Wennili, meaning Hill of Swallows.
A former director at the Eden Project, Chris Hines, is championing the name-change, and told The Sun: "It has a lovely meaning 'Hill of Swallows', a name that the county and its people can be proud of and something that will be slightly more attractive to residents and tourists than Brown Willy.
"This isn't a case for dual names, one in English and one in Cornish. This is its proper name and should be its only name."
The hill's 1,378ft summet is the highest point of Bodmin Moor, and of Cornwall as a whole.
Because of this, it is sometimes suggested that the name came from Cornish bronn ughella meaning "highest hill".
But the toponymist Craig Weatherhill disagrees, as the name was Brunwenely c.1200, Bronwenely 1280, and Brounwenyly 1401.

Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Attorney Responsibility
When there are 4 heirs to an estate, who is the attorney's fiduciary duty to if a conflict develops?
Asked on 7/12/08, 2:55 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
Robert Weber Robert M Weber Attorney at Law
Re: Attorney Responsibility
In short, the attorney's duty is to the decedent through the execution of the estate and not to any individual heir even if an heir happens to also be the administrator of the will.
Very similar to how a corporate attorney has a duty to the the corporation over any employee including top employees.
If there is a conflict issue contact a local attorney to be sure that your interests are accurately represented.
Good luck.

A 24-year-old Westchester County man has pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide for running over two motorcyclists on the Thruway while he was intoxicated and texting his girlfriend.
Luis Munoz entered the plea in Orange County Court on Thursday. Prosecutors are asking for a sentence of 6 to 18 years when Munoz is sentenced on Nov. 8.
Prosecutors have said Munoz had at least seven beers before getting in his car around 11:30 p.m. on June 1. Driving north on the Thruway, he lost control of the vehicle while texting and veered into a safety area, where he struck the motorcyclists.
The victims were 25-year-old Melissa Rupa of Mineola and 23-year-old Rafaelito DeJesus of Valley Stream. They died at the scene and Munoz drove off. He was arrested hours later.

Commercial cherry growers in New South Wales are being asked to get their trees tested for Little Cherry Virus Two.
There are no food risks associated with the virus, but affected plants produce smaller fruit that lack flavour.
Little Cherry Virus 2 was recently discovered in Tasmania and Victoria, but scientists suspect it could have been in Australia for more than thirty five years.
Orange based grower, Guy Gaeta, says that despite it not yet being tested for in NSW, plant material from Tasmania should not enter the mainland.
"There should be no plant material coming from Tasmania, that's where the virus has been found, it's widespread,
"We're playing with a virus, if you've got it it's bad," Mr Gaeta says.
Little Cherry Virus 2 is known to spread through root stock, cuttings and other propagation material, not the fruit itself.
The cherry producer says that he won't be planting any new trees this season.
"I won't be planting any trees this year, that's for sure... I've cancelled my orders.
"I'm going to be very vigilant, if any suspect symptoms come up I will be getting them tested,"
But not all growers have the same view.
Scott Coupland, is a grower from Young, he says that just banning plant material from Tasmania is not the answer.
"It's nice to sit down there and point the finger and blame someone and yes, of course there is plant material that comes out of [Tasmania] into the mainland.
"I'm probably a bit more concerned, not necessarily just of Tasmania, as an individual state, it has been detected in Victoria as well.
"I think I'd rather not just be cautious of one individual state, but of everything that's coming through the orchard, be it my next door neighbour or be it other states," Mr Coupland says.
Dr Kathy Gott is manager of plant biosecurity at the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries, she says that banning plant material from Tasmania is not helpful.
"Banning the movement of virus tested plants from Tasmania is an over reaction.
"The disease might have been moving in propagating material for many years, it's not just something that can be dealt with by banning material this current season.
"Growers in Tasmania, nursery stock growers, are much more aware now of the disease and will be testing, growers in NSW can request assurance that the product that they are receiving is free of Little Cherry Virus 2," Dr Gott said.
She says there is no use banning the movement of propagating material from anywhere, unless they know whether the disease is established in NSW.
"And we can only do that in collaboration with growers, submitting samples for us to know what the status is."
The NSW DPI is offering free testing for this season, for samples from trees that are showing signs of water logging or general poor performance, which have been identified as symptoms of the Little Cherry Virus 2.

ELOPED WITH HIs WIFE.
Sensational Termination of an Important
Worth County Case.
A rather sensational law suit of
nearly two years' standing was
ditsmatically closed in Tifton, Ga ,
on April 29th.
On May 12, :1901, Miss Carrie
Bateman, daughter of Mr. G. WV.
Bateman, one of the wealthiest far
mers and a member of one of the
mcst prominent families in Worth
county, eloped with and married
Mr. Frank L. Williams, a young
dry goods clerk in Sylvester. The
bride's family were greatly dib
pleas d at the match, and it is said
used str.,ng efforts to separate the
couple, succeediing Sept. 28, after
they had lived together nearly five
months, when Mrs. Williams left
her husband during his temporary
illness and returned to her father's
In October, 1901, she, filed suit
for a divorce, alleging cruel treat
ment and non-support. M r. Wil
liams filed a counter suit, denying
the allegations made in her plea
for divorce, and asking for $1 0.000
damages from her father, Mr. G.
W. ~Bateman, for alienating his
wife's affections.
The case was continued for two
terms, but a trial was expected at
this session of Worth Superior
court, which convenes shortly.
Meanwhile, Williams and] his
wife began corresponding, and ar
rangements were finally made for
them to meet at the Chataulua in
Albany yesterday. They met there
in the cemetery, a reconciliation
was effected and they boarded the
6 o'clock train for Tifton. This
train was a combination freight,
and stopped in Sylvester for about
half an hour. Here the bride's
brother and brother-in-law, learn
ing of the intended second elopa
m ent, tried to persuade her to
leave the train, but she refused,
and eame on to Tifton with her
husband last night. It is probable
that they will make their home
-This will probably settle both
suits, which have become quite
famous on the dockets of Worth
Superior court.

Joile%, Ill., Special.--A pitched
battle, in which prayer books and
broken furniture were the missiles,
took place in the Slavonic Roman
Catholic church here Sunday, when
the police arrived to quell the dis
turbance the belligerents turned
from each other and united their
forces against the officers: The
fight, which grew out of factional
differences, resulted in no serious
bodily harm jo any of the 2,000
men, women ai~d children who
were in the church when it began,
but the panic among the affrighted
women and children was the cause
of severe bruises. Bloody and lac
erated faces and hands were evi
dences of the fierceness of the con
test and the protests of Father
Kiar and others were unavailing
to restore peace.
The men had been penned in by
a mob of angry women, wbo peited
the stronger sex with whatsvet
they could lay their hands on. The
men who could fled or jumped
from the windows, and when the
police. arrived they returned to the
assistance of the women. It was
not until the police had drawn
their revolvers and threatened to
use them that peace was restored
and arrests were made.

Brad Banks is the front-runner for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers backup quarterback job, and now all he has to do is cement it in the team's two exhibition games.
Bombers head coach Doug Berry said yesterday that Banks has done well enough in the first week of training camp to be ranked among the top three of the five quarterbacks in camp.
"Right now he's in the top three, so whether he's two or three ... it looks like he's going to make the team," Berry said.
Kevin Glenn is sitting pretty at No. 1, but Berry wouldn't reveal the third member of the troika.
"I can't tell you," Berry said. "That's the hard one."
Put Berry's words all together, and it sounds like Banks has a grip on the backup job, leaving Ryan Dinwiddie, Justin Holland and Matt Bohnet to battle it out for the third and final pivot position.
Berry has said all week that he was about to cut a quarterback, but he hasn't done it yet. Expect that to happen either today or tomorrow, but it won't be Banks heading for the airport.
"I'm encouraged with Brad," Berry said. "I like what he's done so far. His mental awareness is way ahead of last year at this point, and of course we know he's physically capable of being able to do the job."
Coincidentally, Banks said he's performing better because he isn't "over thinking." He looked lost last week at rookie camp, but he's turned it up a notch since main camp opened on Sunday.
"It's going pretty good," Banks said. "On my part I'm doing some good things out there, and then I do have my scary-looking parts out there.
"But overall I think I'm doing a good job."
Banks hasn't received much love from Bomber fans since being plucked last April in the Ottawa Renegades dispersal draft. Then again, he didn't get much admiration from his enormous extended family back home in Florida over the winter, either.
"Just threats," he said. "Like I better get on the team and I better produce something. They ain't seen me play in a while. I got the threats. No encouragement. That's how we do it. We get the threats out."
The first person breathing down his neck was his dad, followed by his brothers and then his cousins, two of whom are B.C. Lions defensive back Korey Banks and Arizona Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin.
"It goes down the line," Banks said. "Everybody."
That's a long line, too, because Banks has somewhere in the neighbourhood of 130 cousins. He's not worried about the fans getting on his case, but his family's a different story.
"(The fans) can't really touch you," Banks said, "but when you go home (the family's) got hands on."

The First Time Driving a Tractor
The moment when a farm boy or girl first gets to drive a tractor is a pivotal one. It's when he (or she) becomes more than Dad's helper; that young person becomes a farmer.
We asked Agriculture.com community members about their first experience on a tractor. Below is a collection of responses from farmers reminiscing about the first tractor they drove or the first one they could call their own.
John Deere Green
"The first tractor I drove was an Oliver 77 standard," recalls lsgfarms. "It was also the first tractor my wife drove – she was a townie." Lsgfarms is one of a few lucky farmers who knows what happened to the first tractor he used on the farm.
"It has been fully restored and is owned by an Oliver collector 4 miles down the road," he says. "I asked for first right of refusal, and he said yes. I will be the first one he calls when he is ready to sell it." The beautifully restored tractor that could once again become Lsgfarms is shown above.
"The first tractor I bought was a used 776 International without a cab," says lsgfarms. "We used it for planting corn, running the small square baler, and we put a blade on it for packing the pit silo." Lsgfarms adds that the farm is now John Deere green.
The first tractor r3020 used was a John Deere B with a two-row rotary hoe in a .5 mile-long field. "Talk about an endless summer," he remembers. "I still have that tractor."
Starting in red
A number of Agriculture.com community members started their driving experience in red tractors.
The first tractor sw363535 drove was a Massey Harris 55, followed by a Massey Harris 44 the next day. However, he didn't stay loyal to the brand, eventually purchasing a John Deere 4430.
Patrick also transitioned from red to green. "The first tractor I drove was a Farmall C raking hay with a New Holland 56 rake," he says. "The first one I bought was a John Deere 4455."
Member ECIN started out in an International Harvester H and two-bottom plow. He stuck with red and bought a 1974 966 IH with a five-bottom plow. "I believe I gave $13,000 for the whole outfit, and my first tank of fuel was 17.5¢ per gallon," he adds.
Hardwayfarmer remembers the 1956 Massey Harris Ferguson 50 his dad bought in 1959. "We still have and use it regularly," he says. "It has a brown belly, instead of the gray belly that started when Harris was dropped from the name. Three generations have driven it, and soon I hope to get the fourth one on it for a picture, at least."
The tractor is in tip-top shape now, but it has needed some repairs along the way. "The engine lost oil pressure in about 1990, and I parked it, not having time and money to fix it," explains Hardwayfarmer. "Our son needed a project tractor for his last semester of ag mechanics at Owens Community College in Toledo, Ohio. After Christmas in 2001, we rented a trailer and took it to his school. He left no bolt unturned in the engine and transmission."
Another tractor Hardwayfarmer has had around for quite some time is the IH 574 he purchased brand-new 40 years ago. "It was the only brand-new tractor I've ever owned," he adds. "We still use it regularly, too."
Ford firsts
Shaggy98 has lots of fond memories from the first four tractors in his life, starting with a Ford 8N used for grading the driveway with a three-point back blade and light loader work. The loader lift was hydraulic, but the bucket was a trip bucket and had to be lowered all the way to reset the pin. "As a kid, I considered myself very lucky to be able to grade the driveway," he says. "I think I was around 6 years old when I started driving it."
The first farm tractor Shaggy98 drove was either a 930 open station Case or an 856 International with a factory rear entry cab. "The Case would get about an extra ½ mph road speed if you would depress the throttle pedal going down the road," he remembers. "Anyone with one of those models will probably attest to that." The 856 on the other hand "would run like a bat out of hell," he adds. "That thing had about 12,000 hours on it, and the engine was never touched."
"The first tractor I purchased was a 7140 Case IH Magnum," says Shaggy98. "We purchased it the first year they were produced in 1987. I've still got it today, and it is my primary workhorse. I had it completely restored in 2010."
Rawhide's first tractor was also a Ford 8N. And so was Hobbyfarmer's. "Dad tried to get me to mow hay with an 8N," he remembers. "Grandma rescued me, took over, and fixed the mistakes. I was only 5."
Tommy Thompson also had a Ford, although his was a 640 Ford. "It kept two teenage boys busy and out of trouble," he says.
Building the bug
In the late 1920s, mnvtfarm's family built the tractor you see below in their basement. This is the second tractor the family owned and the first tractor drove by the fifth generation, shown in the picture.
The tractor, named the bug, was hand-built without a welder from a wrecked Model A car and an old Model T.
Features include:
No air cleaner for ease of maintenance. "It was easier just to stick in a different motor when the oil smoke got bad," says mnvtfarm.
Oldsmobile radiator cap and water temperature gauge. "This was most likely stolen from the junkyard, because I don't think they could afford one," he says.
Top road speed was 40+ mph. "No one, including myself, has dared to let her go," he adds.
"Hours are unknown," says mnvtfarm. "It's been stuck, flipped over backward, almost killed two great-uncles, cursed, and praised. There is nothing enjoyable about driving it, but I can go to the shed, hook the battery up, and it will start and run."
What is this 90-year old tractor worth? "Market value – whatever it weighs for junk," guesses mnvtfarm. "Personal value – priceless. I wish it could talk."
