Catherine Horiuchi, Associate Professor, employs her extensive multi-disciplinary expertise in organizational theory, public administration and analysis, quantitative methods, statistics, and emerging technologies – with the continuing aim of serving her students in her role as educator.
Dr. Horiuchi is the former Associate Dean of Academic Affairs for the School of Management, where she led the recruitment, development, and retention of a diverse faculty of outstanding teachers and scholars and assisted in the creation of the School's learning community, which is characterized by high quality scholarship, academic rigor, and a passion for social justice.
In her most recent and collaborative research, Horiuchi explored the question of public sector values that lead to resilient governance. In other work, drawing on the implementation and outcomes of public policy formulation and adoption in the area of energy demand and fuels, her research examines effects related to the limits of human decision-making and rationality.
In addition to her work at USF, Dr. Horiuchi sits on two editorial boards, and is a peer reviewer for Administrative Theory & Praxis, Public Administration Quarterly, Public Administration Review, and other journals.
Following a year working for a subsidiary of AC Nielsen crunching cereal sales figures for General Mills, Professor Horiuchi made her commitment to social justice and community service known by dedicating three years as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Sultanate of Oman. Prior to returning to her studies in Public Administration, Dr. Horiuchi programmed data stores, analyzed and redesigned administrative systems, and comprehensively managed corporate portfolios of technology projects. She completed her doctoral studies in Public Administration at the University of Southern California. Her 2001 dissertation on the implementation of electric system restructuring in California, completed at the height of the energy crisis and widely discussed with elected officials and policy makers, won the school's Reining Award.

Richard Linklater Explains His Secret Movie Boyhood
By Amy Nicholson
A wise man—or, more precisely, a wiseass trucker named Jack Burton—once opined that "it's all in the reflexes." Few actors have had better ones than Kurt Russell, who makes a welcome return to theaters this weekend in The Art of the Steal. Having been largely MIA since starring in Quentin Tarantino's 2007 Death Proof, Russell remerges at an opportune time, since there's still no heir to his wisecracking, heart-throbbing, smirk-smirking throne.
Russell is perhaps the most undervalued leading man of his generation, so seemingly effortless at action, comedy and drama that it's been easy to take for granted the wide range of roles he has aced, as well as the distinctive cool he's brought to the screen. From his early days as a TV star and Disney contract player to his later triumphs as anti-hero and self-deprecating clown, Russell's oeuvre is marked by a diversity all too rare in this era of heavily manicured He-Men. Equally comfortable taking a pratfall, throwing a punch or warming up a woman, he's the epitome of self-assured, unpretentious manliness and a star who, as a look back at his canon confirms, is defined by his unforced versatility.
Here are a few of our favorite Kurts:
The Boy With the Million-Dollar Charm
Russell's career began in earnest in 1963 when he appeared, uncredited, opposite Elvis in It Happened at the World's Fair. It was a minor part in in a minor film, but the young actor sassed the King himself and, in the process, proved the potency of his sunny, round-faced smile. That same year, he nabbed his first lead turn in ABC's The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters, kicking off a six-year run of small-screen gigs that were energized by his innocent and boyish charm, the traits that ultimately nabbed him a 10-year deal with Disney.
Of all those family-friendly Mouse House outings, the most memorable remains 1969's The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, in which Russell stars as a dim-bulb college student who gets zapped and, presto!, gains computer-grade mental abilities. It's a cheesy, dated fantasy fit only for kids, and yet Russell's performance is surprisingly resourceful, tapping into his everyman sweetness, bumbling humor and sturdy self-assurance. That boyish charisma carried him through two more sequels, though Russell would exude even greater poise in 1979's made-for-TV Elvis, his maiden collaboration with director John Carpenter, a project that gave him his first genuine chance to marry unflappable composure with an undercurrent of dangerous sexuality and, as in his show-stopping performance of "Burning Love," which helped nab him an Emmy nomination, a sly cockiness and intensity that's at once alluring and slightly imposing.
Taking No Shit, Severely
Elvis changed the course of Russell's career by emphasizing his magnetic swagger, which continued to flourish in a series of heroic roles that vacillated between gruff badassery and wise-cracking lunacy. The former mode was best served by Escape From New York, a dystopian action fantasy featuring Russell as Snake Plissken, the eye-patched soldier-turned-convict charged with rescuing the president from a future Manhattan that's been transformed into a maximum security prison. Radiating take-it-or-leave-it machismo, Russell's sleeveless performance is elevated by his smarter-than-you sneers, which are broken up by one-liners delivered in a raspy whisper that makes him seem like the roguish grandson of Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry. Plissken was the perfect vehicle for the actor's brand of fierce physicality and don't-tread-on-me brusqueness, qualities that he'd again tap into in as a genetically modified killing machine in Paul W. Anderson's better-than-you've-heard Soldier (a performance of super-robotic masculinity) and as a serial-killing stunt car driver in Death Proof, a turn marked by a deviant, come-hither twinkle in his eye.
Cracking Wise While Saving the Day
Plissken fully established Russell's ass-kicking credentials. However, it was two subsequent roles that turned him into an icon of smirky heroism. The first—and finest—was Carpenter's Big Trouble In Little China, a rollicking genre mash-up from 1986 that cemented his persona as a guy who was up to the challenge of saving the world (and the girl), and yet couldn't help but find it all just a bit ludicrous. As trucker Jack Burton, Russell bounces through a saga of martial arts assassins, damsels in distress and supernatural villains with a perpetual look of you-gotta-be-kidding-me amusement. Russell pulls off the tricky feat of enhancing, rather than undercutting, Burton's superheroism by turning him into something of a jester, his obnoxious arrogance ideally offset by his slapsticky buffoonery. And while 1989's Tango & Cash is a collection of unintentionally funny buddy-cop clichés, Russell's pairing with Sylvester Stallone likewise demonstrated that the actor was most comfortable embodying gung-ho archetypes only if he could also poke fun at them, if not outright emasculate them, in this case via a memorable tongue-in-cheek scene involving Russell's cop in garish drag.

Plaintiff lawyer: Indeed, most if not all regions of Italy, including Naples, Sicily, Sardinia, Veneto, etc., have their own rich dialects. Children are taught Tuscan in school, but may grow up speaking the local dialect at home. The situation is similar to that of Spain; Castilian is the dominant tongue, but regional dialects and languages are spoken in various parts of the country, including Catalan, spoken in Barcelona, and Euskera, a non-Latin language, spoken in Bilbao and the Basque country.
Ahmed and Bob Evans: The most widely used short definition of sustainability comes from the 1987 report of the World Commission on Environment and Development, known as the Brundtland Commission: "Development that meets the needs of the present without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
Dougal: I know of no American art museums that have returned Nazi-looted art in response to what you describe as "dubious claims." The Association of Art Museum Directors makes an appropriate distinction among the antiquities debate and artworks with gaps in provenance between 1933 and 1945 relating to the Holocaust. These are separate issues.
jvalver: The construction impact comes from a seven-year cumulative number. The annual impact of $140 million is a one year number.
amberobit: From the late 1990s to the 2000s, the frequency of major exhibitions dropped from four a year to three, while the overall number of shows dropped from two dozen to perhaps a dozen a year. In the winter of 2005, the museum announced it would not be able to remain open through construction, as it had planned, but would immediately start closing galleries in sequence. The museum was entirely closed from January to October, 2006. At that point, the museum had no plans for community outreach events; it scrambled to put together a series of musical performances around town in venues such as churches, and to assemble the global loan shows based on CMA's collection. Meanwhile, the museum canceled two major exhibitions on the French romantic painter Girodet and the English landscapist J.M.W. Turner. Other scheduled exhibitions during the period varied widely in quality - and some were quite poor. Attendance in the 1990s averaged 500,000, but dropped sharply in the 2000s, and has how begun to climb back. The question after the expansion is completed in late 2013 is whether the newly enlarged museum will match or exceed historic performance benchmarks it set during the 1980s and 1990s.
Teapartier: Duly noted. Thanks for the update.
MeAntiqueDigest: The 1911 date came from the recently published "Highlights from the Collection" catalogue of the Allen Memorial Art Museum. Actually, the curator involved informed me that the date was intended to be "after 1911." The museum may change the date to 1907 in future editions of its catalogue after a bit more checking, which seems advisable because the Smithsonian Institution itself appears confused on the issue. In one location, it gives 1911 as the last known date Edmonia Lewis was reported to be living in Rome:
While a second reference says Lewis died in London in 1907:
I'll change to blog post to reflect the confusion. Thanks for your note.
notanignoramus: Thanks for pointing out the unnecessary "s." Duly fixed.
johnny216, thanks for your comment. Duly noted and corrected.
Precept: Thanks very much for your suggestion. I've included the link. The obit is very much worth reading. Dr. Vignos led a magnificent life.
riverpese: Too often in my years at The Plain Dealer I've seen the judgments of traffic engineers trump the concerns of landscape architects, urban designers, community development corporations and others interested in economic development. I wish it were otherwise. I think it's time for a wider discussion of this issue.
twinsdays, American da Vinci recently announced plans for a museum devoted to the art and industrial design of Viktor Schreckengost, which will open in May in the Tower Press Building at 21st and Superior. The second annual design expo will be held around the same time. You can read about those developments here: http://www.cleveland.com/arts/index.ssf/2011/01/a_new_museum_will_celebrate_cl.html
cbusrugger: The annual savings will be $600,000 to $700,000 a year on present annual energy costs of $3.7 million. I've just updated to add that information.
OldRuss: The museum's 12-step deaccessioning process requires curators to "seek to communicate with a donor or the donor's immediate successors about the disposition of a previously donated work as a courtesy." Museum officials also noted that Muriel Butkin, who bequeathed many of the works to be sold in the upcoming sales, specified in her will that the museum should keep only what it truly wants to keep.
Riley: For the record, I'm not an architect. I wouldn't want to give a false impression of my credentials. As for the design, the word I'd use is mundane, not urbane. I agree that a cable-stayed solution is not a good idea in this instance because the river is narrow and the flood plain is wide and shallow.
216ism: You can read about Lot 45 here: http://www.cleveland.com/arts/index.ssf/2009/03/university_circle_inc_unveils.html
216ism: The rendering to which you refer depicts the alley on the south side of Euclid Avenue, which is not the side of the project next to Hessler Street. That's why you see "no sign of Hessler in this rendering."
To The Great Michael and others: The poverty surrounding University Circle is undeniable. It's also the focus of the five-year-old Greater University Circle initiative, which recently won a $14.75 million grant from Living Cities, a consortium of the nation's largest banks and foundations. You can read about it here: blog.cleveland.com/architecture/2010/10/living_cities_to_award_1475_mi.html. The point is that Cleveland foundations, community development corporations and instutitions are working on creative solutions, and their efforts, while nascent, are winning national attention. That's the larger context for Uptown.
rednedtugent: For the record, MRN Ltd. has purchased the land it needs only for the apartments under construction now. The company has options to buy the rest of the land needed from CWRU and UCI for Phase II of the project. CWRU owns the existing apartment towers at Uptown. The land for the alley will be transferred to city ownership. The land for MOCA and the plaza is owned by CWRU, which will lease to MOCA what it needs. Source: Ari Maron.
eyehrtfood, I appreciate your suggestion. I've explored these themes in several recent stories, and will return to them in the future. Previous articles on the topic include a piece last winter on the paucity of exhibitions with true star power: http://www.cleveland.com/arts/index.ssf/2010/01/cleveland_museum_of_art_needs.html and a piece in the summer of 2009 about Sherman Lee and his contributions to the CMA. http://www.cleveland.com/arts/index.ssf/2009/06/sherman_lee.html. Another piece in June of 2009 stated that the museum's new East Wing "actually highlights the ways in which the museum failed in the late 1950s and early 1960s to use a whopping endowment to buy great works by giants such as Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Arshile Gorky, when they were affordable." You can read that piece here: http://www.cleveland.com/arts/index.ssf/2009/06/cleveland_museum_of_arts_new_e.html.

Biffle, Edwards are not on same pageTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | June 20,2013BROOKLYN, Mich. Greg Biffle was thrilled after his victory last weekend in Michigan.
Teammate Carl Edwards was a little bit miffed.
Biffles Sprint Cup victory gave Ford Motor Co. 1,000 wins across NASCARs three national series Cup, Nationwide and Truck. It took place just down the road from company headquarters, but not every Ford driver raced as well as hed hoped. Edwards, the pole winner, finished eighth and said there was a point in the race when he wished Biffle would have dropped back to help him clean off his grille. The two both drive for Roush Fenway Racing.
Its his job to help me, Edwards said after the race.
Well take care of it.
Biffle defended his approach to the race.
These races are very, very hard to win, he said. I didnt feel like I could take that risk at that particular time to back up, lose all that track position and it may have changed the outcome of the race.
Edwards later told ESPN.com he was referring to a moment relatively early in the race when he could have used help from Biffle, so their post-race comments may have been a misunderstanding. Still, despite the victory, it wasnt a perfect week for Ford.
Brad Keselowski, who won the Cup last year for team owner Roger Penske, finished 12th in his No. 2 Ford. Hes now ninth in the points standings with no wins, and although theres plenty of time for him to solidify his spot in the Chase, lately hes been making news for reasons other than his driving.
Keselowski was at Ford headquarters in Dearborn last week when he accused Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing of luring away Penske employees in an effort to steal information. Penske said over the weekend he thought Keselowski had some misinformation and team owners Rick Hendrick and Joe Gibbs blasted the defending champion for spreading false information.
For the most part, Sundays race was a welcome break from all that chatter. At one point, Biffle, Edwards, Keselowski and Joey Logano all Ford drivers were firmly in the top 10. Edwards led 16 laps. Logano led 21 before finishing ninth.
I think seeing all those Fords up front was really a statement, that we are moving in the right direction. Theres a lot of momentum, said Edwards, who is second in the standings behind Chevrolets Jimmie Johnson. We need to get better and faster.
Of course, that upbeat, team-oriented quote didnt draw as much attention as what Edwards said about Biffle, but Biffle said Tuesday the two would have a chance to talk things through.
We had a brief conversation in our call-in, but we had all the team engineers and crew chiefs and drivers. That really wasnt the proper time to take up the meeting time to discuss all of those things, but we talked about it briefly, Biffle said.
Were going to have a follow-up meeting. Everybody had different schedules this week, so were going to sit down and talk a little bit about it and just the expectation and understanding of, what can you do to help another competitor? Certainly, Ive backed up to Carl before to get stuff off his grille and hes done the same stuff for me.
Balancing teamwork with individual competitiveness always seems to be an inexact science. One thing was clear after the race: Team owner Jack Roush was happy Biffle held on to win.
Theres no team orders for that kind of thing, but I do support the decision that Greg made to not give up his track position, Roush said. Well discuss that.MORE IN Wire SportsGREEN BAY, Wis.

A number of Championship clubs, including Blackpool and Peterborough United, have made moves for Hall in the last few weeks.
However, none were able to agree terms for the player and now Warnock has made his move.
After talks between the two clubs, Sky Sports understands Leeds have now agreed a fee for Hall - which they will pay in January when the transfer window opens.
Hall, 24, who will hold talks with Leeds over the weekend ahead of completing the move, will sign a loan deal which will become permanent next year.

As summer draws closer to it's end, school begins and the weather starts to show hints of changing, one wouldn't expect to hear that three lives have been claimed in Oklahoma after being infected with the West Nile Virus.
Last week the Oklahoma State Department of Health reported that the number of lives claimed had climbed to 3 as the WNV season begins. All three victims are reported to have been over the age of 75.
The Oklahoma State Department of Health reports that one person has died in Seminole County and two others have passed in Oklahoma County. Another 38 people have been hospitalized with the disease and countless others have tested positive. It is estimated that around 61 cases have been reported so far.
The heaviest effected counties in Oklahoma are: Tulsa County with 12 cases; Oklahoma County with 11 reported and two lives lost; Carter County with 9 reported cases; Pittsburgh County with 5 cases; Muskogee and Garfield counties with 2 cases each and Alfalfa, Bryan, Garvin, Grant Hughes, Payne and Pottawatomie counties all reporting 1 case and of course Seminole county who had one case that claimed a life.
State epidemiologists warn this summer could be the worst WNV season in Oklahoma history. The last severe outbreak was in 2007 when 20 Oklahomans died and 107 people became sick. The situation has become so serious, Gov. Mary Fallin is urging people to take precautions.
"West Nile virus is a serious disease that can be life-altering or even fatal," said Fallin. "Many of our fellow Oklahomans are now hospitalized with West Nile virus. Even though we are early into the season, at least 61 cases and three deaths have been reported in Oklahoma. The best way to prevent West Nile virus is to avoid mosquito bites."
State health experts say there are several simple ways to avoid mosquito bites: wear insect repellent containing an active ingredient such as 10% to 30% DEET; prevent items such as buckets and tarps from holding standing water; empty your outdoor pet's water bowl and refill daily; rinse, scrub, and refill birdbaths weekly; empty plastic wading pools weekly and store indoors when not in use; maintain swimming pools and outdoor hot tubs regularly as recommended by manufacturer; and store boats covered or upside down.
Learn more about protecting yourself from West Nile Virus: Symptoms of West Nile include things such as fever, body aches, headache and general fatigue, can mimic those of the flu. Other symptoms can include a rash on the torso and swollen lymph glands. The length of the illness can vary from just a few days to several weeks.
Because antibiotics do not work against viruses, Dr. Stephen Prescott, president of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation President, says West Nile just has to run its course.
"Doctors can treat the symptoms, but the virus has to run its course. It's most dangerous for the very young and very old or people with compromised immune systems, including lupus patients." Dr. Stephens says while the overall risk of contracting West Nile is low, people should still take precautions to avoid the disease.
Those most at risk are adults over the age of 50 due to their diminishing immune system, said state epidemiologist Dr. Kristy Bradley.
Bradley said the Culex mosquito, which spreads the disease through its bite, is most active in the early morning and early evening hours. Fallin released a statement reminding residents to limit outdoor activities during those times and wear an insect repellent containing DEET.
"This disease has hit Oklahomans hard this year and unfortunately, those who seem to be most at risk are older citizens," Fallin said. "Oklahomans are or will soon be gearing up for night-time outdoor activities like high school football games, athletic practices, lakeside camping, gardening and evening jogs."
State officials warned residents should make sure window and door screens are not torn in order to keep the mosquitoes out. Standing water should also be drained or treated with a mosquito larvacide, and to keep gutters free of leaves and other debris.
There have now been 61 cases of the disease in 14 Oklahoma counties with 41 of the cases people 50 or older. Those infected have ranged in age from 12 to 90, the health department said.
The health department has projected that, at the current pace, there could be 200 or more cases of West Nile Virus in Oklahoma this year, nearly doubling the previous record of 107 cases in 2007 when eight people died of the disease.
Bradley said there can be a risk of exposure into early November.
From 2002, when the virus first appeared in Oklahoma, through 2011 there were 326 cases of the disease and 20 deaths.
Bradley said there have been at least two cases of the virus in horses this year, with one animal euthanized. There is no vaccine to prevent the virus in humans and no drugs to treat it, Bradley said, although there is a vaccine for horses.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — New Hanover graduate David Pellom will be playing close to home this week in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Pellom, a grad student playing for the Memphis Tigers, will face George Washington on Friday in Raleigh. Ironically Pellom graduated from George Washington prior to his transfer to Memphis.
Laney High grad Elijah Wilson is one of the best freshman basketball players in the Big South. Wilson and the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers will face Virginia in Raleigh on Friday. FYI, former UNCW head coach Benny Moss is an assistant coach at Coastal Carolina under head coach Cliff Ellis. (More info on Coastal Carolina is posted at the bottom of this page)
6 ACC teams made the field
NC State vs. Xavier 9:10pm Tuesday in Dayton, Ohio
Pitt vs. Colorado 1:40pm Thursday in Orlando
Syracuse vs. Western Michigan 2:45pm Thursday in Buffalo
Duke vs. Mercer 12:15 Friday in Raleigh
North Carolina vs. Providence 7:20pm Friday in San Antonio
Virginia vs. Coastal Carolina 9pm Friday in Raleigh
Click the following link for information on all 68 teams in the field: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/tournament/2014/story/_/id/10617020/a-first-look-every-team-ncaa-tournament-field
We've also provided an article below that features the 6 ACC teams in the field.
CHICAGO (CHICAGO TRIBUNE) — Maybe Mike Krzyzewski's complaining worked.
A day after the Duke coach lamented the ACC may receive fewer bids than the Atlantic 10 conference, the NCAA tournament selection committee granted the conference six bids, tying the Atlantic 10.
"I'll get in trouble probably for saying it," Krzyzewski said at the ACC tournament. "Like the Atlantic 10, they're a really good conference. I hear people saying there are six teams in there. Come on. I mean, they're good, but put them in our conference and go through the meat grinder that our conference has to go through."
Krzyzewski added that he told North Carolina State coach Mark Gottfried, "I hope you get in."
The Wolfpack did, defying the forecast of many pundits.
Even with three of the old Big East's top teams joining the conference this season, the ACC slipped behind others, namely the Big 12 and Big Ten in the national conversation this season.
Two of the conference's NCAA bids went to Syracuse and Pittsburgh, which meant the holdovers received four bids, equaling last year's number.
Virginia: Earned the No. 1 seed in the East Region. Beating Duke to win the ACC tournament meant the Cavaliers won 16 of their last 17 to close the regular season, and they play defense as well as anybody in the country. But their grinding style helps keep points down, meaning they are prone to an early-round upset against a hot-shooting team.
Duke: Earned the No. 3 seed in the Midwest Region. The Blue Devils have struggled defensively, which has led to some of their slip-ups, but they enter the tournament with perhaps the most dangerous player in college basketball — Jabari Parker. That can be enough to win a title.
Syracuse: Earned the No. 3 seed in the South Region with a potential round-of-32 matchup against Ohio State. The Orange started 25-0 but are playing their worst basketball of the year, having lost five of their last seven. Syracuse's fortunes may hinge on the health of forward Jerami Grant, who has dealt with a back injury in the last few weeks.
North Carolina: Earned the No. 6 seed in the East Region. Defense keyed a midseason turnaround for the Tar Heels, who seemed destined for the bubble before winning 12 straight. They have lost their last two games and struggled at home to defeat a subpar Notre Dame team.
Pittsburgh: Earned the No. 9 seed in the South Region. The Panthers' conference tournament performance showed they can be both maddening and brilliant, sometimes within the same game. Coach Jamie Dixon hasn't gotten the Panthers to the Sweet 16 since 2009.
North Carolina State: Will face Xavier in a play-in game for the No. 12 seed in the Midwest Region. The Wolfpack have ACC player of the year T.J. Warren but can seem pedestrian if Warren has a rough night. Granted, that rarely happens. Beating Syracuse in the ACC tournament likely got them into the dance.

CONWAY, SC (COASTAL CAROLINA)– The Coastal Carolina University men's basketball team is headed to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 21 years. The Chanticleers earned a 16 seed in the East Region and will face the No. 1 seed Virginia on Friday, March 21. The Chants and Cavaliers have met twice on the hardwood but not since Dec. 22, 2003 when Virginia won 89-74 in Charlottesville, Va.
The Chanticleers are making their third appearance in the NCAA Tournament and first since 1993. Coastal's first trip to the tournament came in 1991. CCU defeated Augusta College 89-54 in the Big South Tournament Championship game and advanced to a play-in game against Jackson State. Coastal defeated the Tigers 78-59 to earn its first trip to the "Big Dance." CCU drew the 15 seed in the Southeast Region and took on the second-seeded Indiana Hoosiers. The game took place in Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky. Indiana led by 16 at halftime but senior Brian Penny scored 25 points for Chanticleers in the second half and cut the lead to just three with 2:55 left in the game. The Hoosiers answered with a three and then hit free throws down the stretch to win the game 79-69. Penny went on to be named the CBS/Chevrolet Player of the Game.
CCU's second trip came in 1993. Coastal defeated Winthrop University in the Big South Tournament Championship 78-65 to earn a berth into the NCAA Tournament. Coastal earned a 16-seed in the West Region where it faced the number one seed Michigan. The "Fab Five" were sophomores in 1993 and defeated the Chanticleers 84-53 en route to a NCAA Championship game appearance. CCU's Mohammed Acha was named the CBS/Chevrolet Player of the Game.
Head coach Cliff Ellis is just the 10th coach in NCAA Division I history to lead four different programs in the NCAA Tournament and holds a career 6-7 record in the NCAA Tournament. He has taken two teams to the "Sweet 16″ including his 1990 Clemson squad and his 1999 Auburn team.
Tickets for the NCAA Tournament games can be purchased through the Coastal Carolina University Athletics Ticket Office.
Placing an order does not guarantee you seats. The CCU Athletics Ticket Office will begin calling patrons Monday (March 17) morning at 8 am to confirm their ticket order has been processed. Tickets will be assigned with priority going to CAF members, men's basketball season ticket holders, then general public. The maximum number of tickets one individual can purchase is four and the cost $86 per ticket.
Tickets can be picked up at the will call area at PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C. beginning one hour prior to the first game of the session. Tickets are only for the two designated games in the session. Transportation to and from the game is the ticket holder's responsibility.
To place an order for tickets please call the CCU Athletics Ticket Office at 843-347-8499 or toll free at 877-424-2687.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — President Barack Obama said he told House Speaker John Boehner he's willing to negotiate with Republicans on their priorities, but not under the threat of "economic chaos."
Obama spoke to reporters at the White House on Tuesday in the midst of the eighth day of a partial government shutdown and a few hours after calling Boehner.
Obama said he urged Boehner to hold a vote immediately to reopen the government.
The White House said Obama also urged Boehner to hold a vote that would allow the government to borrow more money.
Senate Democrats are planning a vote this week to provide new borrowing, without new spending cuts Republicans want.

-Georgetown County Sheriffs Deputies arrested 30-year-old Calvin Leonard Polite, of 23 Kean Neck Road in Seabrook, S.C. for drug violations.
Sheriffs Office spokeswoman Carrie Cuthbertson said deputies were working traffic enforcement in southern Georgetown County Sunday and initiated a traffic stop on a speeding vehicle. While deputies were speaking with the driver a strong odor of marijuana was detected.
A subsequent search of the vehicle revealed five bags containing almost 100 grams of marijuana, a small baggie weighing 1.8 grams of what is believed to be cocaine, several white pills and a scale, Cuthbertson said.
Polite was taken into custody without incident and charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana, Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine, and Possession of a Schedule II Narcotic.
He was transported to the Georgetown County Detention Center.

Revised April 2013
Khat (pronounced "cot") is a stimulant drug derived from a shrub (Catha edulis) that is native to East Africa and southern Arabia. The khat plant itself is not scheduled under the Controlled Substances Act; however, because one of the mind-altering chemicals found in it, cathinone, is a Schedule I drug (a controlled substance with no recognized therapeutic use), the Federal Government considers khat use illegal.
How Is Khat Used?
Leaves of the khat shrub are typically chewed and held in the cheek, like chewing tobacco, to release their stimulant chemicals.
How Does Khat Affect the Brain?
The main psychoactive ingredients in khat are cathinone and cathine. These chemicals are structurally similar to amphetamine and result in similar stimulant effects in the brain and body, although they are less potent. Like other stimulants, cathinone and cathine stimulate the release of the stress hormone and neurotransmitter norepinephrine and raise the level of the neurotransmitter dopamine in brain circuits regulating pleasure and movement.
Who Uses Khat?
It is estimated that as many as 10 million people worldwide chew khat. It is commonly found in the southwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula and in East Africa, where it has been used for centuries as part of an established cultural tradition. In one large study in Yemen, 82 percent of men and 43 percent of women reported at least one lifetime episode of khat use. Its current use among particular migrant communities in the United States and in Europe has caused concern among policymakers and health care professionals. No reliable estimates of prevalence in the United States exist.
Chewing khat leaves is reported to induce a state of euphoria and elation as well as feelings of increased alertness and arousal. The effects begin to subside after about 90 minutes to 3 hours, but can last 24 hours. At the end of a khat session, the user may experience a depressed mood, irritability, loss of appetite, and difficulty sleeping.
What Are the Other Health Effects of Khat?
In addition to its psychological effects, khat users can also experience physiological effects typically produced by stimulants, including an increase in blood pressure and heart rate.
There are a number of adverse physical effects that have been associated with heavy or long-term use of khat, including tooth decay and periodontal disease; gastrointestinal disorders such as constipation, ulcers, inflammation of the stomach, and increased risk of upper gastrointestinal tumors; and cardiovascular disorders such as irregular heartbeat, decreased blood flow, and heart attack.
There is also consistent epidemiologic evidence for a weak association between chronic khat use and mental disorders. Although there is no evidence that khat use causes mental illness, chewing khat leaves may worsen symptoms in patients who have pre-existing psychiatric conditions.
It is unclear whether khat causes tolerance, physical dependency, addiction, or withdrawal, but long-term users have reported mild depression, nightmares, and trembling after ceasing to chew khat.

Midwest Living Review
During the holiday season, it seems like there are more nuts than nutty politicians in Chicago. We can count four traditional ballet companies who do the beloved story set to Tchaikovsky's ear-worm-worthy score as well as one version done by dogs, one by horses, one on ice, and one that dispenses with the iconic music altogether and includes a scene with a massive food fight (Christmas cookies being the food in question), and one that allows the audience to dance along.
How to select which "Nutcracker" is for you? Easy. If it's a live orchestra performing that glorious score and dancers whose exquisite technique and emotional expression make choreographer Marius Petipas leap literally life, the Joffrey of Ballet of Chicago is the only game in town. It's not just that the dancing is superior to companies such as Salt Creek Ballet, Midwest Ballet Theatre or the Chicago Festival Ballet. The Joffrey's stage pictures are glorious, a kinetic fantasy land moving from one enchanting locale to the next. There is (apparently) no expense spared in re-creating the lavish Victorian party scene that comprises the first act, from the delicate lace on the ladies hemlines to the swooping ebony cape Drosselmeyer uses to both menacing and magical effect. Clara's Christmas journey to a winter wonderland of dancing toys, pirouetting sugarplums and gallant nutcracker that vanquishes a scuttling bustle of ill-intentioned mice is pure, Christmastime magic.

I like that clock! Question though, is it noisy? I bought a little table clock from IKEA and even though it's super cute, it ticks VERY loudly and is annoying. I want to be reminded of the time when I look at the clock, not when I'm trying to concentrate! Thanks for sharing your quilts, wow, you sure are busy!

Although it is obvious to those of us who know the long-ago facts, one reason Shelley Moore Capito avoids meaningful Democrat opposition in next year's election appears to escape most state voters and pundits.
When a retired politician asked me last week why state Democrats cannot muster a strong candidate to challenge the Republican Capito, I replied with the apparent answer. "Because none of them think they can possibly beat her," I said.
And, largely, I believe that answer is true. But he opined, "ah, but there is a second reason. Don't you know what it is?"
I fumbled for an answer, finally saying, "Well, why don't YOU tell me the second reason."
He tested me. "What about Arch and the Manchins?" he asked.
Bingo! I had the SECOND reason the current Congresswoman, soon to be United States senator, does not even have a weak challenger on the horizon. The Moore-Manchin connection absolutely lives! My caller agreed and took it a bit further than I might have, unprompted.
I said, "Oh yeah, I have always told anyone who asks that Shelley CANNOT run against Joe and vice versa because of the bond between the two families. I know all about Arch giving A. James (Manchin) a job when he desperately needed it 'way back when."
My politician agreed that it was "Bingo." But he went on. "Why does the Democrat party organization not care if Shelley has any real opponent?" he asked. This was becoming a test of my knowledge, I suppose. Everyone knows I am so knowledgeable it's scary.
"Hmmn," I responded. "Because Manchin is still in charge of the state party organization," I said. "Not Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, but Senator Manchin." It was once again a "Bingo."
He continued, "And what all does that entail?" This guy was once a teacher, I assume.
That one I stumbled on for a minute or so. "Larry Puccio," he shouted. "Puccio is Manchin's puppet and he's still the state party chair. Manchin wants to no opponent for Shelley and, thus, Puccio and the party organization do not want a candidate that will challenge her."
As I said, my friend was a bit stronger on it than I might have been and drew additional conclusions that I might not have gotten to. Still, rest assured, dear readers, the Manchins and the Moores will never be opponents in politics. Manchin might be Democrat and Capito Republican, but never will the tie be broken. Remember, you read it here if nowhere else.
* * * * * *
The Second District Congressional seat that Capito is about to give up to be a Senator is drawing all sorts of interest on the GOP side. While attorney and former state Democrat Party Chair Nick Casey seems to have the Democrat nod locked up, most see the Republican side as wide open.
To that end, Ron Walters Jr. was scheduled to announce his GOP candidacy Tuesday morning at the Poca Boat Launch in Putnam County. Walters is the son of current Republican Delegate Ron Walters and brother of State Senator Chris Walters. A political dynasty in the making? Apparently.
Can you imagine sitting down to the Walters Thanksgiving feast and having a Delegate, a Senator and a Congressman?
Then, current Kanawha County Delegate Suzette Raines told me she is "99.7 percent" sure she will run for the same seat. Of course, Charlotte Lane and former legislator Steve Harrison have already filed pre-candidacy papers.
Which leads me to this opinion: if enough Kanawha Countians decide to run for the Republican nomination, someone from the state's Eastern Panhandle will sweep to the nomination.
* * * * * *
The saga of Wendy Elswick, former candidate for appointment to the vacant House seat of Josh Stowers, continues. It is interesting that I likely would never have even looked at Elswick's background if she and husband, Family Court Judge Scott Elswick, had not decided to try to land her a seat in the state legislature. Sometimes, sleeping dogs are best left alone.
Anyway, I now have in my hands most of the paperwork involving Elswick's Board of Disciplinary Council problems. The findings of the BDC read like a nasty paperback novel. The email messages between Elswick and Tommy Lee Sells, a Texas death row inmate, are unbelievable. Among other things, Sells and Elswick had an email exchange in which he stated his preference to be cremated when he is executed. He then gave graphic directions to Elswick as to how his ashes should be "handled." Suffice it to say no adult novel writer ever came up with a more ridiculous and degrading premise. But it appears that Elswick enjoyed such communication with the inmate.
The person convicted of two Cabin Creek murders in the 1990s, Dana December Smith, continues to fight and insists he is innocent. Elswick represented him at one time, as a Public Defender attorney. She now practices law as an assistant attorney general in the office of Patrick Morrisey. She was originally employed by Darrell McGraw.
Suffice it to say, I will continue to monitor this situation and report it as new information becomes available. And, if any reader wants to read some gross testimony and is "of age," I would consider allowing him or her to see it. I don't know why, however, anyone would want to. It's that bad.
* * * * * *
Nick Joe Rahall has been rated by most national pundits as a "likely" re-elected congressman. The Democrat, who is a genuine public servant, will possibly be facing former Democrat-turned-Republican Evan Jenkins in 2014. Apparently, the national pros agree with my observation that Jenkins is a weak candidate. Rahall will mop up the floor with him.
* * * * * *
The confusing tale of Lincoln County union organizer and School Board member Gary McCallister also continues.
McCallister was also a candidate to replace Stowers from the 22nd Delegate District.
A year ago when I, a fellow member of the Lincoln Public Service District Board, asked McCallister if he could serve on the School Board, he told me that he had gotten the "green light" from the state Ethics Commission to do so. McCallister was clear and concise: the Ethics Commission said he could serve on both boards.
Not so, says Ethics Director Joan Parker. "We were never asked and we would NEVER have given that answer because it is contrary to state law," said Parker last week.
She then cited Section 18-5-3(A) (1) of the State Code as proof. It seems clear: "a candidate for a county board who is not currently serving on a county board, may hold another public office while a candidate if he or she resigns from the other public office prior to taking the oath of office as a county board member."
Thus and so, in addition to a requirement that now, at least, McCallister must resign from either the School Board or the PSD Board, it appears he broke the law when he took his oath of office as a School Board member. McCallister was clearly a member of the Lincoln PSD, defined by the Ethics Commission as a "public office" when he took the oath. In fact, McCallister had been on the PSD Board for several months prior to taking the oath.
If the Code prohibits McCallister from taking his oath without resigning from the PSD, the question is whether his membership on the School Board is legitimate. While nobody may ever challenge it, I would guess a court of law would say "no."
* * * * * *
Since one reader who must be at the minimum a Tea Partier insists I "lean to the left" on everything, I COULD reiterate that I am a 100 percent Sarah Palin supporter. I believe the last great President was Ronald Reagan.
On the other hand, I am not about to toe the right-wing line when it is WRONG. The Second Amendment does not say every idiot in the country has a right to have a gun in his or her home. Gay marriage is just as legitimate as any other. I think marijuana should be legalized as well as prostitution.
But I am a Republican; always have been and always will be. And I have a brain to think what I wish without having some unknown leadership point my directions for me.

Ha! I actually just added a status about this to Facebook, I actually used the quick post a lot for Facebook and Twitter, I'm sad to see them gone.
Sent from the iMore App
With iOS 6, Notification Center had two quick button actions, tweet and post to Facebook, that could be reached from anywhere on the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad with the downward swipe of a finger. Now, in iOS 7, they're gone. Disappeared. Taken out back and shuttered. So where did they go, and how can you quickly tweet or post to Facebook now, on iOS 7?
Short answer, they got obliterated. Not moved. Not hidden. Obliterated. The truth is, they never fit into Notification Center, because they're not notifications. They're actions. They were out of context. However, the brand new Control Center seems to exist to take on just exactly those jobs. Quick access to Settings, quick access to apps, why not quick access to tweeting and posting to Facebook?
Apple, in their infinitely looped wisdom, however, hasn't seen fit to include them there. Maybe they will in a future update, maybe they've decided those quick actions just weren't right and we won't ever see them again. In the meantime, if you loved the iOS 6 quick action tweet and Facebook post buttons, you're in for a huge disappointment. They are no more.
One alternative is to use Siri, which can now post to both Twitter and Facebook. Simply say "Post to Facebook" or "post to Twitter" and then dictate what you want to say. It's incredibly fast and convenient... if you're in a situation where you can talk out loud to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.
If not, the alternatives aren't anywhere nearly as quick or convenient. You can use the Twitter and Facebook app, one or a third-party alternative Twitter apps like Tweetbot or Twitterrific. They're nowhere nearly as always-accessible as Notification Center, nor are they as single-purpose or streamlined as the quick action buttons, but they still exist.
You can also use the tweet or Facebook post action in the Share Sheets in most apps to quickly send out a message, but the catch is you have to share something to do it, and you're not always going to want to do that.
In a perfect world Apple would include them in Control Center, or a similar mechanism, and enhance them with actionable notifications so we can reply and reset within apps as well, making even more of our actions quick. Sadly, we don't live in that world yet. Strangely, the upcoming OS X Mavericks not only retains the quick action tweet and Facebook post buttons in Notification Center, but actionable notifications as well. And it's not even mobile, where those features are inarguably more urgently needed.
So, no good answers, but if you used and relied on the old quick actions button, feel free to vent in the comments, and if you come up with any brilliant work arounds, let me know!

Surely they're expecting you to use Siri instead. Which by the way seems much faster now.

Well, they were easy to remove if you didn't use them.
But, alas, they are gone. Siri it is, which, while faster? Not always as convenient, and definitely not as discrete.
No more quick "if you could see the woman in front of me at Target..." Type tweets/posts for me.

"Siri, send a tweet."
Problem solved. It's how I've been doing it since Siri was given the ability.
Siri doesn't work for us Scots!!!
It's all about Siri and what features Apple can push her way. I've been trying to use her more in iOS 7 but it's slow going to get 100%....
Siri, "update my Facebook status." Siri "ok I have updated your Facebook status. "
Sent from the iMore App
Has any of your friends seen your post though? As I did that and it shows on my Facebook as only me (So nobody can see that particular post)
Use Everypost. Awesome app!
I like how alot of ppl are saying the problem is solved by siri, next time you're in a noisy environment and want to tweet or FB something, come back and let us know how that works out for you. Seems like a weird oversight by apple considering they put the flashlight and timer in the control center, easily could have put a 'share' selector there to chose either FB or twitter.
*sigh* they dropped the ball on this one
I can think of one solution, but I'd better not mention the OS that actually lets you choose just how you want to use it...
Siri is not a solution, since talking to your phone in public is obnoxious, and getting it to hear and understand you perfectly including punctuation is very hit or miss.
Why do people talk about Siri as if it is a real female human?
Another peculiar missing item is the weather widget. This had much much more use than the Stock widget
YEA I deem that stock widget as a useless app for someone who doesn't even look at it .
Actually you can still update status kinda like quick post ! Go to safari and then you see a arrow button click that and you will find it . I figured it out myself ! :)
With each new version of iOS,we've seen Scott Forstall coming with a new App:Siri,Reminders,PassBook,Plans..Now that iOS 7 is out,i miss him
With each new version of iOS,we've seen Scott Forstall coming with a new App:Siri,Reminders,PassBook,Plans..Now that iOS 7 is out,i miss him
We too think this is a crazy omission, but our app may be the best thing to a solution, we created an app for quick "tap and type" updating of Twitter, Facebook or both at the same time. Our app is DoublePost and if you add it to your dock it's only a home button away. Has some other nice features too for post formatting on each service. You can find it on the App Store.
Apologies in advance if this is seen as advertising, but we feel it does offer you readers another possible solution to updating social networks now that the share buttons are gone.
The weird thing is that in the Sound settings in iPhone 4 iOS 7 (I dunno about others) there are still settings for Tweet and Facebook Post sounds...what are they for if there is no longer widgets?
how ??
can you please explain
Thanks :)
You can you use Twitter through SMS by adding your phone number through your Twitter account. I've always used it and don't know why more people do. You can text a tweet and it can send you texts from people you specifically follow via mobile etc. It's useful if you follow a lot of people and want to keep up with specific people. You can set times where you don't want to receive texts also.
I did really love to quick Tweet it though. Will be missing that and the weather bar.
YEAH !! I got so disappointed when I found out that these action buttons were gone !! It's so user friendly . I hope that they will put these back in . I mean , how can they not do that when Mavericks are going to retain it and even improve it ?
Yeah I'm also feeling the loss of "Tap to Tweet/Post" (both). I've already filed feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and hope that Apple listens to us & brings it back. This social integration with iOS was really a small, but very sweet time efficient convenience; and it was implemented so elegantly, in true Apple fashion.
I'm guessing there is still hope for its return (perhaps this time in Control Center?), since Mavericks retained it. Likewise, hope springs eternal for Maverick's actionable notifications to show up in a future iteration of iOS!
You can still tweet from the notification center by using MyShortcuts+Viewer app. Here is how you can set up the tweet button:
How to tweet from the Notification Center in iOS7 | Unit Kay's Blog
Sorry for the marketing post, but it might be useful.
You can actually do a quick post to Facebook and Twitter from inside your safari app. If you push the button that looks like a page with an upward arrow it brings up a quick menus and there you can choose to post to either Facebook or Twitter. I know it is a few extra steps compared to having it on the notifications screen. Although you don't have to open the apps to post something.
The quick "Tap to Tweet"-type 'quick-post cards' that we've had before seem to have been removed from iOS 7 at some recent point. But I'm convinced that they were there.
See the screen grabs here about the updated Twitter app, which show the cards: http://thenextweb.com/twitter/2013/09/18/twitter-updated-for-ios-7-with-...
As a second exhibit, see the screen grab here with new Flickr card functionality: http://www.maclife.com/article/gallery/90_ios_7_tips_and_tricks#slide-20
The quick-post cards are certainly in there under the covers somewhere, the burning question is why aren't they on the surface for us to use....Apple....???? *cough*
Hmmm :/
We certainly should ask Apple to restore this functionality: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
I love the new iOS but I definitely miss the option to quick post. I hope apple brings it back.
Will definitely miss this feature! I found your article by googling how to find this feature again. I used the "post to twitter" action at least once daily . Using Siri isn't an option most of the time for me (I can't speak aloud in many of my settings, or wouldn't want to say aloud what I want to tweet!!).
good thing i didnt update to ios7 yet hahaha
disappointed this is gone i used it alot .. opening the program takes to long and that was a quick and easy way ..I dont have Siri so how can that help for the ppl who dont need to have the newest version cell ........ hope they bring it back
i just downloaded the Ipost 7 .. perfect fit for the missing tap to post ! thx !
I am the developer of ipost 7, and i actually created a new version, here is a link: https://itunes.apple.com/nl/app/ipost-7-try-most-simple-to/id720156825?m...
Thank you thank you thank you!
Downloading now. Hope it works as described!
Apple alienates their customers. Luckily there are people like Joey who invent solutions.
Joey, while the app works, I don't have anything new in the notification centre...
I miss the quick tweet button. :( The app takes forever to load and the fact that I have to exist every app I'm using in order to tweet puts a strain on my home button as well! I'll probably be making a new trip to the Apple store to have it replaced. I love my 4, but Apple, please bring back the quick tweet button.
Think about this. Apple put spotlight as a down swipe from any home screen and disabled swiping left... Maybe in a future update they will add dashboard by swiping to the left to more closely line in with OS10. There they could put widgets like weather, quick posts etc. What made the notification post button great was that no matter what I was doing on the phone I could swipe, type then swipe and continue what I was doing. We would then have to leave whatever app we were using in order to post that way. Food for thought.
PLEASE, PLEASE bring back the quick post for fb & twitter. I miss them so much. Smart Move creators.
Me too how terrible were bad thing is that the calendar reminders and Facebook updates on the new pulldown screen that is in stead of the quick post are a week old when I get them! nit today.. the today shows me last week.. The only way I console myself is when I remember to press the Siri button and when he opens , i say "post to Facebook" and then whatever my message is e.g. "my name is blah blah", and it does.. have to be quick though if not it puts the phone down on you
Also, i notice siri takes 4 times longer to process my speech than it did with ios6, and mis-spells 3 times as much as before.... shame on you Siri..
I think it is less of a push on Siri's feature and more of a consequence for the fact that in iOS 7 you can easly access the Control/Notification Center from the lock screen...
A good solution, since it is actually used in the new OS for some notifications, would be to make that feature only available when the phone is unlocked.
I really miss the quick access buttons, and I hope Apple bring them back in future releases.
I'll be using Twitter half as much because of this change. I'm on the Facebook app everyday but have no interest in using the Twitter app, the people follow junk up my feed. I just like to tweet every now and then, the notification center was perfect for it.
They need a "Social Center" pane, separate from the Notification Center, but they need something.
I have an idea, they could add a "triple feature to the home button". As it is, you tap it once, you go home, tap it twice, and you can tab between apps, but my idea for tapping it three times is to bring up a feature called "iPost" that would essentially be a pane designed with a quick post to all your favorite social feeds that you would then customize through the settings. If you're a programmer and interested in the idea, but need more detail, please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
How do I set the audience privacy for when I'm using Siri to post to Facebook?
When I ask Siri to post a message to my Facebook, I then checked on my computer the post is visible to "ME ONLY" I can change this on the computer but I do not want to be doing that all the time.
If I post to Facebook via Siri on my iPhone 5 I want it at the default setting of friends only.
So How do I change this?

The Letterpress and Book Arts Center at the Ringling College of Art and Design is an interdisciplinary facility for education, creative research, collaboration, and production. The mission of the center is to bring together students, faculty, staff, visiting artists, alumni, friends, and other members of our community to honor, explore, and advance the potential of artists' publications to serve as connections between art, media, technology, and theory. The Center hosts undergraduate classes, lectures, workshops, and demonstrations, and facilitates the production of artists' publications by visiting artists, faculty, students, and community members.
The Letterpress and Book Arts Center was established at the Ringling College of Art and Design in May of 2011, with the acquisition of Harold and Judilee Sterne's studio. Harold "Hal" Sterne, who passed away in 2010, began printing at the age of 14 and is a central figure in the history of letterpress printing and equipment preservation. Hal co-founded NA Graphics with Tom Bell and purchased Vandersons (previously Vandercook & Sons) just days before the company was scheduled to close its doors. As Fritz Klinke (current owner of NA Graphics) explains, if it weren't for Hal, "we would have nothing in the way of support for these presses today."
The Ringling College Letterpress and Book Arts Center currently houses five operational printing presses, including a Chandler and Price 8x12 Old Style platen press, two Vandercook SP-15 flatbed cylinder presses, a Vandercook Universal III AB, and a Nolan Standard proof press. The Center is generously equipped with over 400 cases of type, 4,000 metal engravings, and an Anderson Vreeland Orbital XI photopolymer platemaker. In addition, the Center houses a variety of tools for bookbinding, box making, and creative packaging, with two book presses, a D&K 210M dry mounting press, a Golding Pearl guillotine, an Ideal 1046 Kutrimmer, and two additional paper cutters. Hal's extensive library of printing, bookbinding, and graphic arts resources, which was generously donated to Ringling College of Art and Design by his wife Judi, is also available for on-site access at the Center.
The Letterpress and Book Arts Center can be found on the Ringling College campus in the Edward & Carol Cheek Center. The building is located on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Way, between Old Bradenton Road and Cocoanut Avenue. For more information, or to schedule a visit to the Center, please contact Bridget Elmer, Coordinator of the Letterpress and Book Arts Center, at email@example.com or 941-309-4049. You can keep up with latest news at the Center by following us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
