Sample Abstract
Arthur Grothe - Heidelberg University
"An Icarus Who Flew Too Close...: A Social-Values Interpretation of the Barrymore Text" - Dr. Jan Younger
John Barrymore was a troubled man, to say the least. However, he was also an incredible acting talent, appearing in almost 60 films and 30 Broadway productions. He won critical acclaim for his portrayal of "Hamlet," a role which grew to epitomize his life. John Barrymore's vices were the subject of many headlines and scandals, eventually leading to his downfall. but it was during this time that he became a change agent for the value shift that took place during society in the nineteen twenties. By using a new play by William Luce, entitled " Barrymore," it is possible to come to understand the man John Barrymore and his place in history.

You will be covered by a clubs BRCA license for the 1st three visits - however this is for 3 visits in total at any club - IE You cannot go to Kent 3 times then Slough 3 times then Herts then Adur etc etc.
It is 3 meetings in total - ever.
You can join the BRCA via KMRC on the day or online at the brca website whichever you prefer. (I did mine online - its dead easy)
The PT is free to borrow, you just have to leave a deposit (which you obviously get back at the end of the day when you return the pt).
Last edited by justleanitupabit; 01-05-2012 at 09:58 AM. Reason: Cleaning up
If you have never been registered with the BRCA before, then yes you can race 3 times before you have to join. Its not to be abused, as its all about insurance for us drivers.
The track that you will be going to will have hand out transponders for you to use, but you might have to put them back in the rack to keep the charge in the battery.
Just go, race and enjoy it. Don't worry about being slow or thinking that you will be in the way. The best thing to do is keep the line that you are on as the faster driver will see where he needs to be to go around you. Swerving around will slow you both down or worse you could end up taking the faster car out.
All the best from the NDOR Team
Xray Team Driver RCDisco Nemo Racing; Bullitt Engines
My Feedback
calm down people lol.
thanks for the help. so i can race first 3 for free on clubs brca insurance.
so i just need my £10 for the race day fee and £20 for deposit on the pt.

Hyper 7 TQ, Futaba 2PL Radio, Savox Servo's, (Hyper 7 Roller as a Spare)
Well as this weekend has been cancelled it will be my first race too. Maybe us newbies will have a race to ourselves to save too much embarrasment!

see you all sunday, i cant wait to get down and get some track time in (hopefully the rain will bugger of so we can race next week!)
see you all sunday

thanks again, chris

Are these the ones I would need MRT PTX Personal Transponder AMB Mylaps?
If not could you point me in the right direction. These ones are £50, not sure if that is a good price.
triplicate post if you include your other post/thread!
I believe the MRT transponders are fine. The ones you need to avoid are the ones for the old AMB20 system
However, having said that....I'd still personally go for a Mylaps one as you will then get a unique number and won't have to worry about other people turning up using the same type and having the same number and messing around changing to different numbers etc... I also know of someone who had one and the PT started messing around and kept changing the number.

If the curves of Buddy Elias' 86-year-old face look familiar, it's because he is the closest surviving relative of the girl whose diary gave an early glimpse into the Holocaust.
It's not difficult to see that Elias is Anne Frank's first cousin. He has the same soulful eyes and smile in the photographs that accompanied Anne's famous diary, written while hiding from the Nazis.
He was as an expert skater on the ice rink -- even toured with Holiday on Ice after the war. When he was young, Anne spent carefree vacations with Elias's family in Switzerland. She pined for those days after the world turned dark for Jews in Europe.
She called him Bernd, short for Bernhard, Elias' formal name. She adored him.
And she wrote him letters. The entire Frank family was known for their prolific and detailed writing.
"Bernd, maybe we can skate as a pair together someday," she wrote in January 1941 from Amsterdam. "But I know I'll have to train very hard to be as good as you are."
In another letter, Anne outlined the steps to their skating routine and drew a picture of the blue, fur-trimmed dress she would wear when she finally skated with Elias.
"She never did get to do that," Elias says.
On his 17th birthday in June, 1942, she asked him how it was going with a girl he had met.
It was an ordinary letter that one keeps like any other. But it turned out to be her last to him and he preserved it like a relic, as proof of his cousin's affection, as something to treasure.
"That was the last sign of life I had with Anne," Elias says.
Sitting in an Atlanta hotel conference room, he points out some of Anne's letters, published recently in "Anne Frank's Family."
Written by German author Mirjam Pressler with the help of Elias' wife, Gerti, the book tells the story of the entire Frank family -- Buddy Elias' mother, Leni, was the sister of Otto Frank, Anne's father.
The Eliases are on a tour of the United States, reading from the book and telling an extraordinary tale of his family, much of which was not known, save Anne's diary, until an amazing discovery a decade ago.
The last sign of life
Herbstgasse 11. That is the house in Basel, Switzerland, that Buddy Elias calls home.
It brims with memories of an educated Jewish family who originally hailed from Frankfurt, Germany, where both Buddy and Anne were born.
Otto Frank landed a job in the Netherlands and Anne's family resettled there. Elias' father was employed by a German firm in Switzerland. Only later would Elias realize how lucky he was to have moved to a nation that remained neutral in World War II.
The Franks, like other Jews in Europe, knew bad things were coming, though no one could have imagined how bad.
In 1940, the Germans invaded the Netherlands. Anne Frank's family was trapped.
Shortly after Anne penned her letter to Elias about longing to skate with him, the rinks closed. "No Jews allowed," the signs said. It was the same in libraries, schools, cinemas and cafes.
"I have hardly any chance to get a tan because we're not allowed to go to the swimming pool, it's a shame but there's nothing we can do about it," Anne wrote.
Elias could read between the lines in Anne's letters. He could feel life closing in on her.
Then on July 4, 1942, a disturbing letter from Amsterdam arrived at Herbstgasse 11.
"Dear everyone," wrote Otto Frank. "We think of you all the time and know that you're thinking of us, but you can't change anything here and you have to take care that you make it through yourselves. With much love. O."

The country's largest tallgrass prairie dominates the east-central section of the state and includes 22 counties. The Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, established in 1996, is the only unit of the national park system dedicated to the rich natural and cultural history of this kind of ecosystem. Trails wind through scenic vistas, prairie grasses, wildflowers and rugged terrain. Rangers offer daily guided tours of an 1881 ranch house, as well as bus tours of the preserve, May-October.

8 Meetup Groups match "Indie Film" near Ponchatoula, LA
We are viewing together films -- including documentaries -- that are "mainstream" or "classic" or "independent" or even "different". Always followed by a discussion. (I've been doing this for 10 years.) We meet in local movie theatres, cultural centers, people's homes around town, or even outdoors using a wall and a projector. Online viewing -- like youtube clips -- and the better television programs -- like PBS, BookTV -- are parts of the offerings. As not to make anyone uncomfortable or shock …

An Iconic Airlines
17/06/2012 , 12:54 PM by Ashley Walsh
Airlines of South Australia may have disappeared from the skies in 1986 but the memories of this iconic airline that served the state over three decades live on today.
The story of the airline, which started as Guinea Airways in 1926 has been told in a new book by former Airlines of SA Captain Jim Evans and Aviation Historian Nigel Daw.
"An Iconic Airline" tells the story of the people, the places and the planes.
Jim and Nigel joined Ashley Walsh on 891 Weekends to talk about the Airlines of SA and to hear the stories and memories of our listeners.

Things of note:
Drums are Red Skull difficulty, so that tier (as one would expect) has been restored to Rock Band Network content.
The song files now save into the RB3 directory (unlike Blue which erroneously saved into the RB2 directory and was described as content working for RB2).
Since the files now save to a new location, they won't automatically be detected by the "early release" site until he updates the location accordingly.

There won't be a new error420 (why do I still call it that?), he just has to update the script to check a new location for songs.
[] Dizzy Mizz Lizzy [] Dover [] Guano Apes [] More Miley Cyrus
[] The Rasmus [] The Veronicas [] More Volbeat
Nodnod, no need for a new site. The uploads should still appear in the same numerically increasing formula (with every other file being a full version). So it's just a matter of waiting a few songs to confirm the new "start point" and begin searches from there.
I prefer the convenience of "CPU on-line shopping" as opposed to using the in-game store. Of course that could have something to do with the fact that I've got nearly 1,600 files it needs to approve each time I start the game. So I wait through that, shop in-game, and then have to have them all re-approved before I can play!
I'm too excited for more pro keys :P

Day One With HIV: "I Had to Give My Baby a Chance at HIV-Free Life"June 13, 2013 Want to share your own "Day One With HIV" story of finding out your diagnosis? Write out your story (1,000 words or fewer, please!), or film a YouTube video, and email it to email@example.com. In the coming months, we'll be posting readers' "Day One" stories here in our HIV/AIDS Resource Center for the Newly Diagnosed. Read other stories in this series. My first day with the virus was the 27th of December, 2007. I was supposed to have my baby on the 13th of December, but no sign of dilation or contraction. I visited the hospital on the 27th of December and I was told I couldn't have my baby alone, only with a C-section to save his life because I had been discovered to have HIV. I was sad, but I accepted it, because I had to save my baby and give him a chance at HIV-free life. That was my greatest joy that day: signing the consent form for the operation. I had my boy on the 28th of December, 2007, and he is HIV negative. That's my experience. Anuoluwapo is 32 years old and lives in Nigeria. This article was provided by TheBody.com.

SOURCE School of Management, Fudan University
SHANGHAI, Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 21, 2013, Financial Times released the 2013 global EMBA rankings, and four programs of the School of Management, Fudan University were successfully ranked in the top-100 list.
This is the second year that the School has joined the FT's annual EMBA ranking competition with multiple programs, and has achieved improvement in general. Among them, the BI Norwegian Business School-Fudan University MBA Programme participated in the ranking for the first time and Fudan EMBA program is still ranked to be the best Chinese-language program in the world.
This is also the third biggest news of the School within this month. One week ago, the School established International Advisory Board, which is composed of 27 leaders in economic, political and academic fields. On the same day, the School started to build a new campus in Wujiaochang area, which will cover an area of 100,000 square meters and be put into use in 2016, and the new campus will enable the School to have a world-class environment for teaching and research.
Four top-100 programs
The four programs that are ranked on the toop-100 list are: Washington University-Fudan University EMBA Program (English language), Fudan EMBA Program (Chinese language), The University of Hong Kong-Fudan University IMBA Programme (bilingual), and BI Norwegian Business School-Fudan University MBA Programme (English language). The first three programs were in the rankings last year. This year, it shows that, Washington University-Fudan University EMBA Program is ranked the world's No.6, marking its top-20 place globally and No.1 on Chinese mainland for 8 consecutive years since 2006. Fudan EMBA Program (Chinese language) was ranked No.38, the second year that it has been the world's best Chinese-language EMBA program. The University of Hong Kong-Fudan University IMBA Programme was ranked No.51, or the world's No.6 best part-time MBA program. BI Norwegian Business School-Fudan University MBA Programme was ranked No.54, or the world's No.7 best part-time MBA program.
The FT global EMBA ranking is an important guideline to evaluate the quality of a higher education institution. The ranking criteria strictly look at such aspects as the quality and career development of students, the academic progress and research capability of the school, internationalized level of the school. The fact that four of its programs are ranked among the world's top-100 ones shows that, the management education level of the school has continued to be recognized by international ranking authorities. It also shows to the world that management education in China is continuing to make improvement.
Aiming at the world's first-class programs
Since 2006, Washington University-Fudan University EMBA Program has been ranked on the FT's top-20 list for 8 years. Since last year, Fudan EMBA Program has been ranked the world's top-50 and The University of Hong Kong-Fudan University IMBA Programme the world's top-100 for two times. BI Norwegian Business School-Fudan University MBA Programme has participated in the ranking competition for the first time and claimed a top-100 place. From one program to multiple ones, from English language program to bilingual ones, the School has made progress by enabling more programs to be ranked on the FT list, which also represents its plan to go further on the path of internationalization.
"Our goal is to become one of Asia's best business schools before 2015, with a certain level of global influence. We want to build a world-class business school within next 15 years," said Dean Xiongwen LU.
"In recent years, we have participated in the rankings with more and more programs. We plan to encourage all of our programs, as well as all the alumni who graduated from these programs within three years, to participate in the ranking competitions for the world's highest-level evaluation." In January 2013, Fudan MBA Program participated in the competition for FT's global best MBA list, and was ranked top 100 for advanced education concept, leading cooperation model and life-long career services.
"The rankings this year represent the recognition of progress already made by the School, and encourage us to go further on the path of internationalization."
Looking back, the School became the world's fastest business school to claim both AACSB and EQUIS accreditations within 2009-2010 period; in 2012, it became the mainland China's first one to get five-year EQUIS re-accreditation

Martine Franck, a Magnum Photos member for 32 years, has died. She was 74
Author: Olivier Laurent
17 Aug 2012 Tags: Magnum photosObituary
"It is with great regret and profound sadness that I have to announce the passing of Martine Franck," writes photographer Alex Majoli, Magnum Photos' president. "Martine was not only an incredibly talented photographer, she was also a dear friend and colleague to us, and an inspiration to many. Magnum has lost a point of reference, a lighthouse, and one of our most influential and beloved members with her death. Her wisdom, wit and intelligence will be missed immensely by all of us."
Martine Franck, born in Belgium, was Henri Cartier-Bresson's second wife and president of the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation, established to promote the photojournalist's work. But she was also a photographer in her own right, beginning her career as the assistant of Eliot Elisofon and Gjon Mili at Life magazine, before joining the Vu agency in the 1960s.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal last year, she said she started her photographic career as a shy young woman. "I never really dared to go up to people and talk to them. I started by taking wedding photographs. Then, when I went to parties, I would take my camera with me, just to give myself a sense of composure, or a necessity to be there."
In 1964, Ariane Mnouchkine introduced her to the Théâtre du Soleil, and Franck quickly became the theatre's official photographer until her death. In 1972, the photographer co-found the Viva agency, while continuing her career as a photographer. "Franck took many portraits of artists and writers, including a noteworthy series of women for Vogue," reads her biography on the Magnum Photos website. "She undertook more far-reaching work for the French Ministry of Women's Rights in 1983. That same year she became a full member of Magnum Photos," just three years after joining the agency as a nominee.
Franck travelled extensively in Asia, photographing Buddhist Tibetan children in India and Nepal. "With the help of Marilyn Silverstone, a former member of Magnum Photos who became a Buddhist nun, she encountered the Tulkus, the young lamas who are thought to be the reincarnations of ancient great spiritual masters," says Magnum Photos.
More recently, Franck participated in the Georgian Spring book project with other Magnum photographers. She published her last book in September 2011, bringing together 63 portraits of artists in their studios, shot over five decades from 1963 to 2010. The book, Venus d'ailleurs, was published by Actes Sud in France.
Franck married Cartier-Bresson in 1970. A year before the "Decisive Moment" photographer's death, Franck, with her daughter, launched the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation to promote his work and photojournalism. In an interview with The New York Times, she said of Cartier-Bresson: "Henri taught me to say 'no.' He taught me to be selective, never to show photographs one did not want to see published. I believe he learned this himself from Alexey Brodovitch at Harper's Bazaar."
"We all knew that Martine was really ill," former Life magazine's picture editor John G. Morris tells BJP. "I had last seen her several months ago, and she herself had admitted that she wasn't well. I've known her almost as long as Henri [Cartier-Bresson] did. I met her through him, of course, shortly after they got together and I knew a little about her previous record as a photographer and I was not surprised when she was taken into Magnum. Quite frankly, my first impression at the time was that she got there only because of Henri, but I think, on the contrary, that she was very reluctant to take advantage of that fact. She wanted to prove that she was worth it."
Morris adds: "She was a very fine photographer. She was just a wonderfully gracious person. She was very humble and very friendly. I would often visit them at their homes in Paris and in Lubéron, and she was always a gracious hostess. I want to pay tribute to her. I think she deserves the recognition that she is now getting."
On Twitter, Magnum photographer John Vink reacted to Franck's death: "Most generous Magnum member gone. Sad. Very sad..."
Speaking to BJP, Michael Pritchard, the director general of the Royal Photographic Society, says: "Martine Franck's work was firmly rooted in the tradition of French humanist documentary photography. She was able to work with her subjects to bring out their emotions and to record their expressions on to film, helping the viewer understand what she had seen in person. Her images were always empathetic with her subject."
He adds: "Although Martine lived partly in the shadow of her husband Henri Cartier-Bresson her own work was distinctive and she was instrumental in preserving Cartier-Bresson's wider legacy and values through the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation."
Franck died after a long illness. She is survived by her daughter, Mélanie.

sadness of Martine Frank's passing.
i always admired Martine Frank as a photographer. MF's work was really good.
The photo of the sunbathers in the South of France, so dynamic.The portraits sincere and truthful. The lady showed with simple tools like her more famous husband Henri Cartier-Bresson. The lady had to be a strong personality with HCB!
The sad loss of MF and Eve Arnold both add to our loss of so many things when we as photographers embrace technology in place of dedicated art.
@jason gold
"The lady had to be a strong personality with HCB! "
Cartier-Bresson may have been merciless with people he didn't know who approached him and who bothered him for his wisdom, but with the ladies he was a notorious softy, and dare I say, ladies-man. Most of his reputation of being aloof is due to people expecting to be best friends with him just because they are very familiar with his work.

Neill Blomkamp Talks District 9
The Alien influence is quite apparent in the creature design. Blomkamp was exceptionally pleased with Image Engine's CG work. All images courtesy of TriStar Pictures. |
You've seen the District 9 trailers and posters and have been exposed to the brilliant viral marketing campaign. Finally, the potential sleeper hit of the summer arrives today (through TriStar Pictures). A thinking man's sci-fi that's both thrilling and humorous about a clash of races between wandering aliens (a cross between an insect exo-skeleton and a crustacean) and a government bureaucrat -- in Johannesburg, of all places! At the helm is Neill Blomkamp, the former vfx artist/3D animator (Smallville, Dark Angel) and director of commercials and shorts (Landfall: the Halo trilogy of shorts) as well as original founding partner of The Embassy Visual Effects in Vancouver. In fact, after his Halo feature with Peter Jackson fell apart, the South African native and Vancouver resident immediately turned to District 9 at the behest of Jackson, which is based on another of his shorts: Alive in Joburg. In this VFXWorld exclusive, Blomkamp tells us about all of this and more. Bill Desowitz: So let's jump right into the visual effects. What's CG and who was responsible for them? Neill Blomkamp: The visual effects were broken down into categories that we saw onscreen, like the aliens were done by Image Engine in Vancouver, the mother ship was done predominantly done by Weta Digital, and the drop ship was Weta Digital and then the exo-suit and the little fighting creatures -- the little pets -- were all done by The Embassy. Zoic also did a few minor shots (overflow 2D work). So it was kind of cool for me because each company had its very own thing that it was responsible for doing. But the bulk of the visual effects work went into the aliens. Image Engine worked on the film for quite a while and did really good work. BD: How did you discover Image Engine? NB: Well, originally, I thought Weta would do everything, but Avatar had taken over and absolutely crushed Weta. So Weta said no, we can't do the film. What I wanted to do then was take advantage of Vancouver: I live there for one and in the future I'm going to do more films there, and, two, the British Columbia tax credit thing for post-production. We would be able to get more shots for it. So I know a lot of the effects houses in Vancouver, and I had a bunch of meetings with Image Engine and they actually flew down to New Zealand. They hadn't done anything that was on this scale before, but based on the guys who were in charge of running the company and making District 9 happen, Shawn Walsh [visual effects exec producer] and Pete Muyzers [on-set visual effects plate supervisor & digital production manager], I felt like they were going to do whatever it took to make this work, so I had faith in them, as opposed to the reel of the company, and they totally stepped up to the plate and just hired all the right people, and I'm exceptionally happy with the way it turned out. I guess in a way, it was a bit of a gamble, but it won't be from now on because they have clearly established that they can do A-grade creature work. And it's going to be different for them from now on.

This is part of Day One of a five-day series looking back at the history of Classic Park in Eastlake. See a series breakdown here.
In 2001, Pat Boyce heard Eastlake Mayor Dan DiLiberto talk about building a minor-league baseball stadium, a project DiLiberto famously said wouldn't "cost the residents of Eastlake a dime.''
Boyce wasn't buying what the mayor was selling at that public meeting.
"I've never been a shrinking violet, so I told Dan, 'You're out of your mind. It will kill the city and we'll be paying for it for the rest of our lives,' " he said.
Boyce was right.
According to Eastlake finance director Mike Slocum, the price tag for the 7,200-seat ballpark at the corner of Vine Street and Route 91 will be $35 million when the final check is written in 2031.
The city this year will appropriate $590,000 from its general fund to meet the scheduled debt payment of $1,142,502.60. Last year, those figures were $620,000 and $1,191,782.50, respectively.
"Dan thought he was above everything and everybody and didn't listen to anybody,'' Boyce said. "To me, it made no sense for the City of Eastlake to pay all that money for 70 games of Class A baseball every year.''
DiLiberto was mayor from 1994 until he resigned on April 30, 2004, citing health concerns.
He first considered the idea of building a minor-league stadium in Eastlake in April 1999.
For the next four years, he pushed relentlessly to turn his baseball dream into a reality.
Critics of the project called that effort reckless and negligent.
With the Lake County Captains this year marking their 10th season in Eastlake and with the city saddled with financial fallout for at least the next 19 years, the question remains: Was it worth it?
"Absoutely not,'' Boyce replied.
Retired and living in Florida, DiLiberto is unapologetic about the stadium and doing what he thought was necessary to get it built.
"Look at what was on that land before the stadium was built. Look at that part of Vine Street. The stadium is the focal point of the community," DiLiberto said.
"Yes, it was worth it. The stadium is and will continue to be great for Eastlake and Lake County.''
Picking up the pieces
If he had his way, Eastlake Mayor Ted Andrzejewski never again would have to hear DiLiberto's name or answer a question about the $35 million bill he left behind.
But, the stadium is a fact of life, and there is no escaping DiLiberto's long shadow over the community.
"There was no personal gain (for DiLiberto) to speak of in building the stadium, but there were untruths told to the people of Eastlake,'' Andrzejewski said.
"Every time the stadium comes up, so does (DiLiberto's) statement about the stadium not costing the taxpayers a dime.
"Whoever follows in office after DiLiberto is always under suspicion. Every time I go out with City Council and try to get a levy passed to help the city, we're told by the citizens, 'The stadium is your problem. We believed what DiLiberto said about the stadium not costing the taxpayers a dime. How can we believe that you, in fact, need more money?' ''
In 2000 and 2001, when the stadium project was gathering momentum, Andrzejewski was serving on the city's planning commission.
"Determining the status of the stadium project was not the commission's job,'' Andrzejewski said. "Our job was to make sure ordinances were followed.''
He got a somewhat clearer picture of the situation when he was elected to City Council in 2002. But the real epiphany came in 2004, when DiLiberto resigned and Andrzejewski won the special election to fill out the remaining year of the mayoral term. He was re-elected in 2005 and again in 2009.
He plans to run again in 2013.
"I knew the city was in deep financial distress when I was running for mayor (in 2004), but I didn't have full access to the numbers,'' Andrzejewski said.
It wasn't just stadium debt that was weighing down Eastlake's strained budget. The city finances were further depleted by another $17 million of debt for the construction of the municipal center on Lakeshore Boulevard.
As the bills piled up, a budget surplus that once exceeded $3 million disappeared.
The depth of the alienation between the two men bubbled to the surface on Feb. 18, 2005, when Andrzejewski, assisted by city service department employees, removed from the stadium facade a metal plaque honoring DiLiberto for his leadership in the complex's construction.
"The plaque said, 'The House that Dan DiLiberto built.' The reality is, if the plaque would have said, 'The house the people of Eastlake and the taxpayers of Eastlake built,'' the plaque would still be up there,'' Andrzejewski said, defending the plaque's rather public removal.
"It was very inappropriate to put up a monument to yourself and say, 'I built the stadium,' when, in fact, for the next 25 years, the people of Eastlake would be paying for the ballpark.''
DiLiberto said the plaque was not his idea, but was a gift from the late Steve Guard, then the city's engineer.
Detract, defend
The rift between the current and former mayors surfaced again in April, when DiLiberto was conspicuous by his absence when the Captains used their home opener to celebrate the start of their 10th season in Eastlake.
Andrzejewski said "no comment'' when asked if he was behind the decision not to invite DiLiberto to the home opener.
DiLiberto said he's convinced Andrzejewski called that shot.
"I figured it would happen that way. Look at what (Andrzejewski) did with that the plaque,'' DiLiberto said. "I'm a bigger person that that. Did I expect that from him? Yes, because that's the kind of person he is.''
DiLiberto was asked if he had a message for Andrzejewski and Eastlake City Council as they grapple with stadium debt.
"It's over, it's done. You need to move forward now and bring jobs to the community,'' DiLiberto said. "I've been gone for (eight) years now. Ted has a job to do. I had a job to do. Different times, different economies.
"It's time to stop kicking me to the curb. Dan DiLiberto is not responsible for what's happening in Eastlake now.''
Andrzejewski stared straight ahead during a reading of DiLiberto's comments about the plaque removal, this year's home opener and how the current mayor and council need to focus on the present and future.
"First of all, we haven't mentioned Dan DiLiberto's name in context with the city of Eastlake since I can't remember,'' Andrzejewski said.
"He's part of history. I don't want to talk about him. I don't want to mention anything about him. That statement is not true that we keep kicking him to the ground. I'm a bigger man. He's gone, over with. I've said that for years.
"What's he's doing is deflecting responsibility from the person who deserves to be held responsible for this enormous debt.''
DiLiberto has staunch defenders in Classic Auto Group founder-owner Jim Brown and U.S. Rep. Steven C. LaTourette, R-Bainbridge Township.
In April 2005, Brown joined forces with Captains majority owner Peter Carfagna on a $4.3 million naming rights deal that turned what had been called Eastlake Ballpark into Classic Park.
"The only things I personally know about Dan are all good,'' Brown said. "In my view, he was totally committed to Eastlake and the citizens of Eastlake. I'm sure he made some mistakes, based on what happened. I really hated to see that. No politician I've known was as good a leader as Dan.''
Brown's reference to "what happened" relates to DiLiberto's April 2006 guilty plea in Lake County Common Pleas Court on a charge of attempted falsification in a theft offense.
The charge stemmed from actions DiLiberto took on behalf of John Chiappetta, a Richmond Heights businessman who helped the city develop an industrial park off Erie Road. DiLiberto served 30 days in jail, four months of house arrest and paid a $2,000 fine.
LaTourette helped the city secure $4 million from a 2005 transportation bill to help pay down stadium debt. He said his opinion of DiLiberto is unchanged despite the legal matter.
"The man was a visionary,'' LaTourette said.

Women Spies of the Civil War
Hundreds of women served as spies during the Civil War. Here's a look at six who risked their lives in daring and unexpected ways
- By Cate Lineberry
- Smithsonian.com, May 09, 2011
(The Granger Collection, NYC)
Rose O'Neal Greenhow was a popular Washington socialite, a widow in her 40s and an impassioned secessionist when she began spying for the Confederacy in 1861. Using her powerful social connections, Greenhow obtained information about Union military activity and passed coded messages to the Confederates. One of her most important messages, hidden in her female courier's hair, helped Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard gather enough forces to win the First Battle of Bull Run.
Suspicious of Greenhow's activities, Allan Pinkerton, head of the federal government's newly formed Secret Service, gathered enough evidence to place her under house arrest. But Greenhow continued to get information to her contacts. In January 1862, she was transferred, along with her 8-year-old daughter, to Old Capitol Prison. Several months later she was deported to Baltimore, Maryland, where the Confederates welcomed her as a hero.
Confederate President Jefferson Davis sent Greenhow on her next mission to Britain and France to help gain support for the Confederacy. While in Europe she published her memoir, My Imprisonment, and the First Year of Abolition Rule at Washington.
In September1864, Greenhow returned to the South aboard the Condor, a British blockade-runner, carrying $2,000 in gold. A Union gunboat pursued the ship as it neared the North Carolina shore, and it ran aground on a sandbar. Against the captain's advice, Greenhow tried to escape in a rowboat with two other passengers. The boat capsized and she drowned, presumably weighed down by the gold she carried around her neck. Her body washed ashore the next day and was buried by the Confederates with full military honors.

What about the "Rebel spy sisters," Virginia Moon & Charlotte Moon Clark, well known in Memphis & in Oxford, Ohio. Ginny & Lottie carried messages to & from Jefferson Davis & Knights of the Golden Circle (in Ohio). Lottie's husband, Judge James Clark, was a high-ranking member of KGC in Oxford area. The sisters had numerous escapades. Smuggled medicine, weapons, mail, & more under hoop skirts. In 1863, Ginnie arrested in Cincinnati by Burnside & held. As he knew her family, from spending time with Lottie when he was a young soldier early in his military career, Ginnie was paroled to Memphis, thus saved from prison or worse. These women were not held back by the restrictions placed on their gender during that time period.There is much more in their story!!
