Rahul Gandhi officially resigns, says necessary for the future growth of party.On Wednesday, Rahul Gandhi officially resigned from the post of President of Congress Party. As of the reason he said accountability was critical to the future growth of the part . On Twitter, Mr. Rahul posted a letter saying
It is an honour for me to serve the Congress party, whose values and ideals have served as the lifeblood of our beautiful nation". Taking responsibility for the party's debacle in the Lok Sabha elections, Gandhi said, "Rebuilding the party requires hard decisions and numerous people will have to be made accountable for the failure of 2019. It would be unjust to hold others accountable but ignore my own responsibility as President of the party."
He also came out transparent by saying he will not even be the part of the search of new president of the party. Till the time the post is occupied by someone, party's general secretary will be in-charge.
"Immediately after resigning, I suggested to my colleagues in the Congress Working Committee that the way forward would be to entrust a group of people with the task of beginning the search for a new President''
Mr. Gandhi once again raised the authenticity of these Lok Sabha election and claimed''unimaginable levels of violence and pain for India'' will be the outcome of Narendra Modi government's return to power.
"A free and fair elections requires the neutrality of a country's institutions; an election cannot be fair without arbiters...Nor can an election be free if one party has a complete monopoly on financial resources," he wrote.
A few hours before making his resign public and official, Mr. Gandhi reached out his party and asked them to appoint a new president ''at the earliest''
"The party should decide on the new president quickly without further delay, I am nowhere in this process. I have already submitted my resignation and I am no longer the party president. CWC should convene a meeting at the earliest and decide," Gandhi told reporters in Parliament.
Earlier, just two days after the Lok Sabha elections result, Mr.Gandhi signed for his resignation which however got denied that time. But, this time the party has accepted it and it has started a domino effect. Many of the other party leaders are sanctioning their resignation.

Instagram now allows you to follow hashtags like regular accounts
The feature is out of test mode and being rolled out today.
Swapna Krishna|@skrishna|December 12, 2017 12:19 PM
Hashtags are key to discoverability on Instagram, as Engadget Editor Dan Cooper discovered when he spent a month trying to accumulate 100,000 followers on the service. And now, Instagram has made it even easier to use them, thanks to a new feature that allows you to follow hashtags.
This feature was previously being tested quietly, but now it is being rolled out to the general user base. You can follow a hashtag the same way you follow a friend: Search for a topic you like or click on a hashtag in an Instagram post. A new page will open with the option to follow the hashtag. You'll see both top posts and recent stories from the hashtag in your feed, and you can unfollow anytime, the same way you would any user.
According to The Verge, Matthew Ogle led the charge for this feature; he was behind the Discover Weekly playlist at Spotify, which relies on both machine learning and a human hand to curate a personalized playlist for each listener every week. Ogle wants to bring the same touch to Instagram's hashtags.
For those concerned about privacy, a note: The hashtags you follow are visible to anyone on Instagram who checks out your profile. It doesn't look like there's a way to turn this off, though if your profile is set to private, then only your followers will be able to see the hashtags you follow.


US judge sentences Manafort to 73 months in prison

President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been sentenced by a federal judge to 73 months behind bars for two conspiracy charges. Last week, he was sentenced for another term over tax and bank fraud.
Manafort appeared in a Washington, DC courtroom in a wheelchair on Wednesday, asking the judge for leniency. The "case has taken everything from me already" the 69-year-old lawyer said.
"I am sorry for what I have done and all the activities that have gotten us here today," Manafort told the court. "While I cannot undo the past, I will ensure that the future will be very different."

Judge Amy Berman Jackson was apparently unmoved by Manafort's speech, slapping him with a 6-year prison term for two conspiracy charges related to illegal lobbying.

Last week, in a federal court in Virginia, Manafort was sentenced to nearly four years in prison (47 months) in a separate case, involving bank and tax fraud. Some 30 months from the new term, however, will run concurrently with the previous conviction, with Manafort spending seven and a half years behind bars in total.
The veteran lobbyist who ran Trump's presidential campaign between March and August 2016 was targeted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's prosecutors in the course of their "Russiagate" probe. Instead of turning up any evidence of "collusion" with the Kremlin, however, the prosecutors charged him with financial crimes connected to his lobbying work in Ukraine, entirely unrelated to the 2016 election.
Mueller was appointed by the deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in May 2017, after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. He was tasked to investigate allegations that Trump and his campaign "colluded" with Russia back in 2016, receiving near-unlimited authority.

Trenton Man Pleads Guilty to Human Trafficking
Submitted by RLS Staff on Oct 16 2019 - 11:40am.
A Trenton man indicted in January 2019 pleaded guilty last week to human trafficking, Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo J. Onofri announced.
Officials say, Darrell Smith, 48, of Trenton, pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree human trafficking and one count of third-degree tampering with a witness before Mercer County Superior Court Judge Peter E. Warshaw on October 10.
Under the terms of the plea agreement, Smith will face an aggregate of 10 years in state prison when he is sentenced on December 13.
Onofri credited Detective Alicia Bergondo and the prosecutor's Human Trafficking Unit with the investigation leading to the guilty plea.
Senior Assistant Prosecutor Heather Hadley and Assistant Prosecutor Caitlyn Kelly represented the state. Smith is scheduled to be sentenced on December 13.
According to a statement released by the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office, in January 2019, a Mercer County grand jury returned a 19-count indictment charging Smith and three other individuals with human trafficking, sexual assault, promoting prostitution, and other crimes.
The indictment charged Smith, 47, Gabriel Tabor, 29, Shannon Heisler, 38, and Jennifer Willis, 34, with the following:
 conspiracy, first degree
 four counts of human trafficking, first degree
 two counts of facilitating human trafficking, second degree
 three counts of promoting prostitution, third degree
 promoting organized street crime, second degree, and
 tampering with a witness, third degree.
Smith was additionally charged with third-degree aggravated assault, third-degree terroristic threats, third-degree criminal restraint and four counts of second-degree sexual assault.
All four defendants are Trenton residents officials said.
The cases against Tabor, Heisler and Willis all remain pending.
Smith was initially indicted in March 2018 on this case.
The case was represented to a grand jury in January 2019 after further investigation uncovered an additional victim and evidence that other defendants were involved.
The indictment alleged that, between December 16, 2017 and December 23, 2017, Darrell Smith was allowing a young woman to stay at his residence, but he was forcing her to engage in prostitution against her will.
Smith was also sexually assaulting the victim himself. Smith was arrested in December 2017 and charged with these crimes according to officials
Further investigation revealed that Jennifer Willis was living at the house during this time and was placing sexually suggestive ads of herself and the victim on Backpage.com.
Information was later developed that another young woman was living in the house from October 2017 through February 2018, and being forced into prostitution in the same manner by Smith, Willis, Gabriel Tabor and Shannon Heisler.
Detectives also discovered that Tabor and Willis were posting this second victim on Backpage for Smith while he was in jail.

This is an excellent MUST READ article published in the Wall Street Journal.
Austerity's Not the Only Burden in Europe – WSJ.com.
For me, it confirms that the troika of the IMF, ECB, and EC have been myopic in dealing with the financial crisis in Southern Europe. Let's recap on the context. Austerity is reducing demand and putting more people out of work, driving record numbers to suicide. Meanwhile, the banks in Southern Europe don't or can't lend to small businesses, the backbone of the economy. Clearly, massive investment is required into top-quality, properly costed and risk-assessed infrastructure projects to kick-start growth based on Keynesian principles. These national infrastructure projects will need to be financed by a new initiative, similar to the Marshall Plan that kick-started Germany's growth after WWII.

A Hard Look at Jeremy Heywood Cabinet Secretary Downing Street – John Gelmini
June 10, 2013 By dralfoldman in Central Government, Coalition, David Cameron, Healthcare, Politics, Unemployment Tags: Barnett Formula, Cabinet Secretary, Crime, David Cameron, Downing Street, Eastern Europe, Jeremy Heywood, Prime minister	10 Comments
The other day I reblogged an interesting article entitled Jeremy Heywood: the other power in Downing Street, published in the FT.
I received a detailed posting from John Gelmini which I am reblogging below as it adds to public debate.
Personally, I do not completely agree with John's views here but would welcome others to share their opinions.
Having read the article and other items what do we learn about Jeremy Heywood?
–That he has been likened to Cardinal Richeieu
–That he wants to be close to the seat of power
–That he likes the Civil Service Model
–That he is "frustrated by inefficiency and stupidness"
–That he is for a "snoopers charter"
and road pricing
–That in his own way he "wants to make the world a better place"
–That he and David Cameron "shape each other"
From this list we can see that Jeremy Heywood is exceptionally stupid, has no business sense and needs along with David Cameron to resign from public office because none of the things he is supposedly for is going to make the country or the world a better place.
Road pricing will make us even less competitive than we already are, it will damage the car industry which employs 1 person in 11, it will damage the UK's balance of payments which has been negative since 1982, it will damage retailing, increase inflation through increased freight charges and it will damage local tourism and tourism from overseas
He likes the civil service model, yet we have far too many civil servants and a public sector we can no longer afford. The British Empire,the most powerful the world has ever known, ran on just 15,000 civil servants at a time when we had billions coming in from all corners of the planet and thriving industries of our own.
Now we are massively in debt, have no empire and no means to punch above our weight alone.
He is for a Snoopers Charter, supposedly because it will reduce terrorism, crime and benefit fraud when the real reason is to track what ordinary people think of their lords and masters. The arguments about terrorism are bogus because deaths at the hands of terrorists in the UK have been less than 100 in the past 25 years, whereas deaths from road accidents total 2,900 a year and deaths by NHS GPs through misdiagnosis run at 70,000 annually and 120,000 annually through botched NHS surgery/operations with a further 450,000 hastened to an earlier death than would otherwise be the case on the "Liverpool Care Pathway".
The biggest part of the welfare bill is pensions so the snoopers charter would not save much money by tackling benefit fraud which on a large scale is mostly perpetrated by specialist criminal gangs from Africa, parts of Eastern Europe who the police ought to be dealing with in any case.
If he wants to "make the world a better place", he should resign and take David Cameron with him or at least get our arrogant Prime Minister to stop doling out overseas aid at £12 billion gbp a year and stopping the unaffordable Barnett Formula at £33 billion gbp a year.
Similarly, how does "arming the Syrian Rebels", most of whom are bloodthirsty terrorists, fundamentalist Muslims and criminals "make the world a better place"?
If he dislikes "inefficiency and stupidness" then why does this man not decision tree the things he says he is for and evaluate their effects?
That David Cameron and our previous Prime Ministers actually listens to someone like a Heywood says as much about them and their ultimate masters as it does about him.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish held off the USC Trojans this week in a 30-27 win. It wasn't the prettiest game at times, but the Irish fared better than several other teams in the national top ten this week. For that, the Irish are up a spot in the AP Top 25 and two spots in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
Here are both polls headed into week 8:
Georgia's loss to South Carolina nearly landed them outside of the top ten. Meanwhile, LSU's win against Florida shot them into the top four in both polls, even to the #2 spot in the AP poll. Wisconsin and Penn State also rose in the rankings following important wins and Georgia almost fell out of the top ten completely after a double OT loss to South Carolina.
Notre Dame next head to Ann Arbor on October 26th to face the Michigan Wolverines, who are currently #16 in the coaches poll after beating Illinois this past weekend. None of Notre Dame's other remaining opponents are currently ranked in either poll.

Wednesday Interview: Owen Craig
November 09, 2010 / Johnathan
This week (and possibly also last week - reports vary) sees the first trade collection of me-favourite Kill Shakespeare in stores, and in addition to the tale of a plucky Danish prince embroiled in a sea of Elizabethan intrigue and attempted deicide, the book features a bonus story written by newcomers Owen Craig and Curtis Westman. To commemorate this event, here is an extra-special bonus feature for this here blog, namely the return of the Wednesday Interview for a talk with Owen Craig!
Huzzah, and here we go:
First of all, how about a pocket bio of Owen Craig?
I was born in Perth, Ontario. Don't worry if you haven't heard of it, it's an extremely small town located between Kingston and Ottawa. I moved to Toronto as a teenager and then I went to York University to study theatre where I became interested in both comics and writing (remember that, it'll be important later). I started doing some work with a high school friend, Curtis Westman, and we collaborated on a short film called "Hamlet: A Comedy in Three Acts", which lead to us writing together on a regular basis. Since then it's been pretty much business as usual for any budding writer: working a boring day job and writing in the evenings and on weekends.
So: your story is appearing in an upcoming trade of Kill Shakespeare. Give us the one-sentence plot hook that will make everyone completely unable to pass it up. And maybe throw in a couple of other sentences if you feel the need.
Yeah, our story is in the first trade paperback of Kill Shakespeare. Curtis (my writing partner, I don't remember if I established that I work with a writing partner) and I approached this story with the goal of building on the Kill Shakespeare world. When looking at their concept it occurred to us that one Shakespearean play which would be difficult for Conor and Anthony to bring in would be Julius Caesar, so we've taken the moment of Brutus making his decision about whether or not to participate in the conspiracy to murder Caesar and shown how that particular moment plays out in the context of the Kill Shakespeare comic. It's basically a fun Easter egg for fans of both Shakespeare and fans of Kill Shakespeare, with some pretty cool ties into the main book.
How did you get mixed up in all of this Kill Shakespeare nonsense, anyway?
While at the Wizardworld Toronto (formally known as the Paradise Toronto Comicon) show I came across the Kill Shakespeare table. As a former theatre student I was naturally intrigued by the book. I ended up talking to Conor and Anthony for... I don't know... half an hour? It was one of those "damn, I wish I'd thought of it" concepts. On an impulse I asked them if they would let me pitch them an idea for a backup story and, much to my surprise, they accepted. So I got together with Curtis and we wrote up a couple of proposals, which they ended up liking. It's pretty much the classic story of being in the right place at the right time with the right idea. Conor and Anthony deserve a lot of credit for giving a couple of first-time writers their first break, it's an extremely cool thing that they're doing and I couldn't appreciate it more. Between the opportunity, their guidance and their constructive criticism I owe them a lot.
Did you have to revise your plot at all? Were there any cases of Conor and Anthony saying that they were actually already using Character X for something in the main plot, or did such things come together without a hitch?
We pitched them a couple of stories, and there were definitely some characters that we quickly realized were more off-limits than others. One of the stories we pitched was problematic because we were told that the character we wanted to use wouldn't be introduced until issue 7 or 8, so our story would predate the character's first appearance. That's part of the reason we pitched a Julius Caesar story, as there would be no crossover characters and it gave us a lot of freedom.
It's worth mentioning, though, that Conor and Anthony were extremely generous about letting us play around with some fairly major elements of their story. In fact, there are a couple of hints in our story as to what is coming up in the main book (yet another reason for fans to buy the trade).
Where can people look for more Owen and/or Curtis if they like what they see in the trade?
Well, nothing is coming up soon, but you can rest assured that Curtis and I are hard at work on some original material we hope to be pitching to publishers in the near future. We have a few ideas that we're very excited about. Plus, if everyone's happy with this story than there's always a chance that there might be another Owen/Curtis story in the second Kill Shakespeare trade! In the meantime you can check out our blog at www.bunchofice.com, Curtis and my website.
Gratuitous Canadian question: How do you take your Tim's?
Well, I may not drink a lot of Tim's but I think I can top that for being Canadian: I WORKED at Tim's. That's right, I worked at the Tim Horton's in Perth (Ontario), which falls on Highway 7 between Ottawa and Kingston. Let me say, everyone, treat the staff there well. They work extremely hard.
And finally, a two-parter: name your favourite a) play by Shakespeare and b) comic book series and attempt to link them thematically.
Favourite Shakespeare book and comic series...that's a tough one. I don't know that I could pick a favourite of either, definitively, but I'm a huge fan of both Hamlet and James Robinson's Starman. Both are stories about young men who find themselves suddenly immersed in a situation they don't want to be in and don't understand. And, hey, both young men spend more time thinking and talking about their situation rather than acting on it! There you go!
Edit: Whoops, I'm a dope. I didn't even think to ask about who did the art on the bonus story. Turns out that it's J. Bone and it's unsurprisingly awesome.

Various Stuff n' Such
April 18, 2010 / Dave
So here I was, all set to write a cranky post about how much I disliked a certain high-profile comic book movie that opened this weekend. But honestly, folks, life's too short, and I'd rather spend the time gabbing about stuff I enjoy. So with that in mind, here are a few random tidbits of comic booky goodness from last week's offerings:
Other Lives, by Peter Bagge: The Hate-meister returns to cranky form with this original Vertigo graphic novel about four interconnected losers—a writer who despises his racial identity and is haunted by a past act of plagiarism, his fiancée, whose vicarious internet life begins to blur into her real relationships, an online gambling addict desperate to cover up his crumbling domestic life, and a would-be government agent/national hero who lives in his mother's garage. Fans of Bagge 's most famous creation, Buddy Bradley, can draw a straight line to Vlad (Vader) Ryderbeck, the self-loathing, slow-burning, expletive-spewing, booze-swigging antihero at the heart of Other Lives, who discovers that the self-created false identities people hide behind—both online and in real life--are not just a product of the internet era, but in his case at least, a generational affair. Bagge's rubbery, cross-hatched caricatures may not be for everybody, but there's truly nothing else in comics like them, and they are perfectly suited to the grotesque lives, both real and imagined, that they depict. The surprisingly violent conclusion is strangely unsatisfying, but the repeated jabs at the characters' cartoonishly sad-sack lifestyles and the equally ridiculous internet fantasies they retreat into are what stays with you after you've finished reading.
The Flash #1, by Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul: DC has taken a lot of flack for bringing back Silver Age mainstay Barry Allen—fair enough, considering that most of their current readership grew up reading the adventures of his protégé, Wally West—but here's the thing; having Allen as the Flash in a new number one issue makes sense because he's the easiest version of the character to explain to new readers. Hit by lightning, showered by chemicals, Fastest Man Alive. There you go. Sure, he's got tons of baggage if you start factoring in his death and rebirth, his stint as a married father in the distant future, and all that other crap, but this first issue wisely sidesteps all that, focusing instead on what I hope will set this series apart from the previous run (see what I did there?): the fact that Barry Allen is a police scientist, so he is actually going to be solving mysteries instead of just running around fighting bad guys. Manapul's art is just as lovely here as it was in his short-lived stint on Adventure Comics, and I hope he's in it for the long haul. This is a fun, accessible, great-looking debut, with one of those cool two-page teaser ads at the end (like the ones Johns did for Legion of Three Worlds and Sinestro Corps) for an upcoming event called Flashpoint. I have no idea what it could be about, but it looks cool. Let's hope DC doesn't water it down with a kajillion crossovers, but who am I kidding? Of course they will.
Kill Shakespeare #1, by Conor McCreery, Anthony Del Col, and Andy Belanger: I know Johnathan already covered this IDW book and its fascinating shared universe, where the Bard's most famous creations join forces to destroy him, a few days ago, but I wanted to throw in my two cents as well. This is a very cool, original concept, executed with terrific skill and style. There are a lot of comparisons to be made to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen being thrown around in regards to this series, and that's a pretty big compliment in my book. The premise may be a bit intimidating to anyone not well versed in Shakespeare, but it's a lot more accessible than you might think at first. For instance, I haven't read Richard III, but I recognized the hunchbacked, shriveled-armed monarch as soon as he appeared. You could just look at Kill Shakespeare as a simple adventure story framed by a larger literary backdrop if you like, one with witches and pirates and ghosts, and you'd enjoy it just as much. Belanger's art is detailed and stylish as well, just as impressive in moments of quiet dread (like Hamlet's father's ghost appearing from the mists) as it is in action scenes (such as the first issue's big set piece, a pirate attack on the boat carrying Hamlet to England). And the creators are Canadian! Really, you have no excuse to miss this.

Animated Anarchy's Annecy Festival Week: Moana and Inner Workings
Before I get started celebrating this festival of foreign films; I must thank the readers and OneOfUs.net for making Animated Anarchy possible. Keeping this blog updated makes me really happy whenever I publish an article for the world to see. Whether you watch cartoons, anime, or just Disney films…they all matter. The line is constantly being tested as animation as not just a medium for kids, but for everyone. Hell, these last few weeks proves that with the recent release of Sausage Party, so we have that going for us.
I admit ,I haven't been able to write for this website as much as I've wanted to. There's been a non-stop parade of work, family, and living situations going on for a straight year now, and I've been aching for a big change. Thankfully, next month that change will happen, and I'll be able to dedicate more time to my true passion of writing. So take this early prologue as a rebirth for Animated Anarchy, as critics are already collecting stories for save up for "Best of the Year" binges. Some of the movies we'll be covering may show up later in future stories. Now onward, to Annecy!
The Annecy International Animation Film Festival is the Cannes of animation; featuring shorts and feature length films showcasing every form of animation from all across the globe. Our special Polish correspondent Maciek Kur goes whenever he can to see what the industry has in store for the rest of the world, leading to some really amazing discoveries. He'll do a thorough review for each movie and I'll be adding in commentary along with the accompanying trailers and pictures. You might see some of these lovely films at your home in a few months!
The 2016 Annecy Logo
While I like the Annecy International Film Festival for its more "artsy" animated movies, one of the highest point of celebration for all animation lovers at the festival is the presentation by Disney. Not only did they show some early, never before seen footage of their upcoming movies, but they are presented by the directors themselves, and this year we got two legends hosting the presentation, Ron Clements and Jon Musker. These are the men behind such gems as 'The Little Mermaid,' 'Aladdin,' 'Hercules' and 'The Princess and the Frog.'
'Moana' is Clements and Musker's first CGI film (in fact, their debut movie, 'The Great Mouse Detective', is credited for introducing computer animation to the big screen, mainly in the clock tower fight sequence during the film's climax). For European markets the title was changed to "Vaiana" (the name of the female protagonist), in order to avoid copyright issues. In fact, during the presentation, the directing duo had a bit of a running gag, with Musker correcting Clements every time he called their heroine "Moana," to the point of Clements jokingly concluding, "It's a story about identity, because she doesn't know if she's Moana or Vaiana!"
Interestingly enough, the presented footage had used the name "Vaiana" in the dub.
As most of you have already seen in the trailers, the story is set in Ancient Oceania, and explores the legends and culture of that time period. The plot is inspired by the traveling tribes who used to navigate from island to island, solely relying on their own instincts and knowledge of the ocean currents. Though many of these tribes discovered and settled on new lands, they mysteriously stopped for almost a thousand years.
During the presentation, we were presented with about 15-20 minutes of footage, some of which was storyboarded or in early rendering with little completed animation.
"Our central cast."
The next several paragraphs contain some spoilers.
The story follows Moana/Vaiana, a young island girl fascinated with stories of Maui, the shape shifting demigod voiced by Dwayne Johnson. According to the stories told by Moana's grandmother, Maui once stole a powerful artifact, but was attacked in the middle of the ocean by an gigantic lava entity (imagine a human version of the firebird from 'Fantasia 2000'), and he lost both his treasure as well as his magic fishhook, which sunk to the bottom of the ocean. As a toddler, Moana literally befriends the Ocean, who in this world is a living being. They don't give him a "face," but they give him a personality, which is shown by the way tides and waves move.
As Moana grows older, she still feels a strong spiritual connection with the ocean. However, her father, who's a chieftan, forbids the people of his island from sailing outside of the reef. One night, Moana's grandmother takes her to a mysterious cave, where she finds hidden boats, and learns that her people were once great navigators and sailors, which makes her incredibly excited. Sometime after, Moana makes an oath to follow her destiny, and sets out on a quest to find a magical artifact that will prevent a great evil from consuming the land and ocean.
Moana is joined by a roster of comical characters, including a cute piglet named Pua, a clueless rooster named Heihei, and of course, Maui – the demigod with a massive ego and living tattoos (Yaaay! Hand drawn animation!). One particular tattoo, a small, unnamed character serving as Maui's 2-D animated conscience, was described as Maui's "Jiminy Cricket." The character was created by Eric Goldberg, the creator of Genie from Aladdin.
On their quest, Moana and Maui visit the Polynesian underworld, which is set at the bottom of the ocean. One brief piece of concept art also showed them facing a leviathan-sized creature, and another clip featured a fully animated musical number.
Another clip showcased the Kakamora, a group of anthropomorphic-coconut pirates. Complete with tiny hands and feet (somewhat reminiscent of the trolls from "Frozen"), the Kakamora draw expressions on themselves and have personalities similar to that of the Minions from 'Despicable Me' and the Ewoks from 'Return of the Jedi.' Along with sailing large ships, the Kakamora's society was said to be influenced by films like 'Waterworld' and 'Mad Max.'
End of spoilers.
Some might accuse Moana's storyline of being simplistic, if not a bit generic, as it features yet another free-spirited heroine who defies the wishes of her farther to go off an adventure for a magical McGuffin. However, I think Moana gets a bit of a pass for now because of its focus on Oceanic mythology and legends, which is unfamiliar to most audiences.
Probably the biggest disappointment of the presentation is that they didn't shown more of Moana/Vaiana herself. Other than the sequence of her as a toddler, a few brief interactions with Maui, and a handful of action set-pieces, there were few scenes highlighting her personality. The directors mainly described her as a "badass," and I have a feeling that people who had "problems" with Rey in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' will have the same complaints about Moana's character. Personally, I think it's great that we're seeing more strong female characters in animation and film. After decades of animated female characters being reduced to damsels in distress and love interests, it's a welcome and long overdue change.
For now, I hope they won't only focus on making Moana look cool, but actually giver her some depth. The charm of some of the recent Disney princesses like Anna, Rapunzel or Tiana, is that they could not only get silly, but also have their own flaws that they had overcome. This in turn makes them more fun and interesting to watch, and more importantly, relatable.
Another great part of the Disney presentation was the "Inner Workings" short, which was introducde by its director and writer, Leo Matsuda, who later talked about the production and evolution of the concept of his short film.
The short has a similar premise to Inside Out, only in place of emotions, we get to literally see what is going on inside the hero's body. The brain, heart, lungs, muscles and yes, even the bladder, are all represented by comical characters. The story follows a day in the life of an Asian-American office worker named Paul, who is struggling between his very disciplined nature, and the simple urges to just have some fun. During his misadventures, we constantly see the reactions of his body parts and internal organs.
A lot of people I talked with after the presentation really enjoyed the short, and some even heaped more praise upon it than 'Moana.' Admittedly, it's one of funniest cartoons producded by Disney in a very long time, and that even includes the number of shorts produced by Disney coveted animation studio, Pixar. I was shocked it was only seven minutes long, as it expels dozens of jokes in only a few minutes, and a fair bit of the best gags were more adult than Disney's usual brand of animated humor.
On top of that, the visual stylings of the short were incredible, and had an impressive amount of "blink and you miss it" details. It wasn't just the standard Disney CGI human designs, but much more stylized characters designs, including odd proportions like overly square heads, ragdoll bodies and comically ample curves. Additionally, the short also had a wonderfully memorable score.
Though only a seven minutes long, "Inner Workings" is really worth seeing on the big screen, and Matsuda is quickly proving himself as one of Disney's most exciting new talents.
I'm going gaga for Moana's upcoming release. The Princess and the Frog is my personal favorite Disney flick, and Lilo & Stitch comes in around third. Clements and Musker just achieve a perfect balance between the songs, character development, and brilliant scenes evolved from elegant ideas. I really like that this film is covering Polynesean culture, because it's something Americans don't know much about, if at all. Animation is a great way to open our culture up to new mythologies, whether it be from Song of the Sea or The Secret of Kells.
You could critique Disney for taking the Pixar route by making a road-trip movie, but this movie makes an exception traveling by sea. Since the filmmakers made a point to say Moana WILL NOT have a love story, I feel confident that it'll avoid many of the obvious tropes that would normally be done in this scenario. Seriously, if you think about how many cartoons have a buddy and/or romance subplot, your head will spin. I don't think we have to fear either about Moana herself being a "Mary-Sue," even by Force Awakens-standards; hard to be overpowered around a shape-shifting demigod.
Moana has an incredible cast covering every aspect of the film. Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda worked on the songs featuring an Oceanic music group, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson gets to bring his natural charm to a real Disney character, and genius Taika Waititi (What We Do In The Shadows, Hunt For The Wilderpeople) touched up the screenplay. Auli'i Cravalho is using this starring vehicle as her breakout performance, but she brings a lot of energy and wit to both these trailers.
Although there are some detractors against Disney's current slate of CGI, the company is truly in the middle of another Renaissance. Zootopia is unquestionably the best animated film of the year already, but if they can make another film that incredible? They will remain kings of the mountain for easily another decade. Needless to say, I can't wait to watch the movie. Inner Workings as well, as the shorts including during this new golden age have been marvelous in their own right.
And I hope you all come back tomorrow for more of our animated film coverage from the Annecy Animation Film Festival!

The Battle of Expectations
Bill Curry has written an excellent article about differences in fans and how they support their team.
The second is more dangerous -- the diehard pessimists. The pessimists weasel in close to the players, talk on the call-in shows and post their blogs wherever possible. They harp on the facts as they see them. And they only see bad, as they moan, "You know, this coach should not be here. We don't like him at all. We have not beaten a real football team, and we never will. All these folks that get excited have not been around here very long. We always lose."
Players digest this garbage and it surfaces on the practice field, in the locker room and even in the games as adversity is greeted by sullenness and loss of concentration.
The internet is one of the most dangerous mediums there is. Someone with complete anonymity can write the most profane, rude, baseless commentary and get away with it. Well, I have the power to be one of those people. I have created a forum that brings thousands of people to read about Georgia Tech sports daily. However, instead of providing a place for venting my frustrations and others, I chose to use the medium to offer perspective and try to keep people focused on the big picture. This site is about PROMOTING Georgia Tech sports, not tearing it down.
Look, here's reality. Every school has a fan base. Typically 10% of that fan base is never happy and won't ever be happy unless you are competiting for championships EVERY year. Curry calls them "diehard pessimists" and I call them the "lunatic fringe". This portion of the fan base does not care about the "student-athlete". They care about only one thing - winning.............These are typically grown men who lose total and utter perspective that we are talking about games played by 19-year old kids. These are the people who freak out on gameday when things don't go well AND cannot let it go 48 hours later. These are the people who call for the coaches head when you lose one game. These are people who would rather root against their own team if it means it could get a coach fired. These are the people who perpetually see the grass as always greener on the other side. These are people who just know that things will be better if we just do what they say with people and personnel. These people love OTHER coaches and always love the back-up QB.
There is another 10% that will blindly support their team no matter what happens and for whom the athletic programs will never have to prove anything to. These people go to games occasionally and rarely read the internet.
The vast majority of people fall within a fairly tight continuim in the remaining 80%. They follow the team, want to see them do well, get sad when we lose, happy when we win, like to see graduation rates good, like to see nice personal success stories with the players, and understand the big picture. As Curry says, they also want reassurrance. This group wants to see a big picture and movement towards something special. But they understand that college athletics are games played by kids.
Now here's my deal with expressing frustrations. For me, it is no problem to question play-calling. It is no problem to question execution. It is no problem to even suggest another guy gets a chance to play. It is no problem to be curious if certain players are hurt and when they might come back. It's no problem to be upset when we lose, no matter how big or small the deficit.
It is a problem to constantly push a dialogue about firing a coach. It is a problem to question the motivation and heart of players. You know why? Because you don't know them. Don't pretend you know their motivation. Don't pretend you understand their heart. You don't. Just because you have Eric Henderson in your class, have seen Philip Wheeler during a practice or have asked a question to Coach Gailey on his call-in show doesn't mean you know them.............. Don't question whether or not Coach Gailey is giving it everything he has. Assume he is. Give him the benefit of the doubt. Now whether his best will meet your expectations of success is another matter. But support the guy when he's here. Support the team. ............
Now, let's talk expectations of Georgia Tech football. What should they be? This is probably the most hotly debated topic around. What is reasonable? Is it reasonable to expect to compete for national championships every season? Go to good bowl games? What is "reasonable" to expect. Here's sort of a continium down the ladder of expectations. Where do you think Tech should fall on the continuim?
Win the National Championship every season
Compete for National Championships every season (BCS top 10)
Win the ACC Championship every season
Go to a major bowl every year
Compete for a National Championship every 5-10 years
Compete for the ACC championship every season
Win the ACC Coastal Division every season
Go to a major bowl every few years, but SOME bowl every season..... and win
Go to any bowl every year and win
Go to any bowl every year, win or lose
Make a bowl game every once in awhile
Just beat UGAg every year - who cares about the other games
A winning season
Just compete and don't get blown out
Where do you fall on the continuim? There are two traps to consider. One is the fallacy of "I just want to see the team get better every year". If we win 6 one year, it needs to be at least 7 the next, then 8 the next. The problem with that of course is that you will eventually be the USC Trojans, and that we will never be. Most teams eventually take that dramatic fall before rising again. Another danger is consistency. Is it more important to you to be consistently good, or occasionaly great? Were the Bill Lewis years worth the glory of the Bobby Ross years if you couldn't have one without the other? In hindsight and now 13 years removed it's easy to say yes. Not so easy to say yes when you're in the middle of the Bill Lewis years.
So where is your head at?
Just have fun - it's not about winning and losing

New York Times Q1 Results Top Estimates
By RTTNews Staff Writer ✉ | Published: 5/8/2019 9:29 AM ET
The New York Times Co. (NYT) on Wednesday reported a 37.6 percent increase in profit for the first quarter from last year. Quarterly revenues increased 6.1 percent as growth in subscription and other revenue offset a slight decline in advertising revenue.
Both adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations and quarterly revenues topped analysts' expectations.
Mark Thompson, president and chief executive officer, New York Times Company, said, "... we're continuing to optimize our business to deliver on our goal of reaching 10 million total subscriptions by 2025."
Looking ahead for the second quarter of 2019, the company expects total subscription revenues to increase in the low- to mid-single digits compared with the second quarter of 2018, with digital-only subscription revenue will increase in the mid-teens. The company expects seasonally slower growth in the number of paid digital-only subscriptions.
It is expected that total advertising revenues in the second quarter of 2019 will be about flat compared with the second quarter of 2018, with digital advertising revenue expected to increase in the mid-teens.
Other revenues in the second quarter of 2019 are expected to increase about 35 percent compared with the second quarter of 2018.
The company reported that net income attributable to common stockholders for the first-quarter rose 37.6 percent to $30.16 million from last year's $21.91 million, with earnings per share improving to $0.18 from $0.13 in the previous year.
Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations for the first-quarter was $0.20 compared to $0.17 in the previous year. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected the company to report earnings of $0.10 per share for the first-quarter. Analysts' estimates typically exclude special items.
Total revenues from continuing operations for the first quarter increased 6.1 percent to $439.06 million from $413.95 million in the prior year. Analysts expected revenue of $435.78 million for the quarter.
Subscription revenues increased 3.9 percent, while advertising revenues decreased 0.4 percent and other revenues increased 55.8 percent.
Other revenues rose $15.5 million, or 55.8 percent in the first quarter primarily as a result of growth in commercial printing operations and rental revenue from New York headquarters building.
Paid digital-only subscriptions totaled about 3.58 million at the end of the first quarter of 2019, a 28.7 percent increase from last year.
In the pre-market trade, NYT is trading at $33.75, up $0.90 or 2.74 percent.

Document details final moments before fatal injury to woman pushed from truck & killed in Port Arthur
Published 11:06 pm Friday, November 19, 2021
By PA News
Lonnie Rodgers
The probable cause affidavit for the arrest of Lonnie Rodgers, who is charged in the death of Madison Martinez sheds some light into what a witness contends occurred.
Rodgers, 46, of Nederland is being held on a $500,000 bond in the Jefferson County Correctional Facility on a charge of manslaughter in the Oct. 16 death of Madison Martinez, 27.
According to the document, Martinez was in the company of Rodgers and another man on Oct. 15. Security video reportedly shows a red Dodge truck leading the Fuel Depot in the 3700 block of Lake Arthur Drive leaving the parking lot quickly. The video shows Martinez come out of or off the driver side of the truck onto the roadway. Another video reportedly showed how fast Rodgers accelerated and has audio.
Rodgers later made a statement, the document read, saying he was driving the truck and Martinez was standing at his window when he drove off.
A witness saw the woman and another person or persons were having an argument before Martinez was pushed to the ground and the truck attempted to pull off, it just jerked forward but stopped.
This was because Martinez jumped back towards the driver's side of the truck.
Rodgers made a statement saying there was something in the truck she was fighting for.
The truck took off very fast and the witness saw Martinez come off the driver side of the truck, the document read.
The witness was asked if they could tell if there was force being used from within the truck towards Martinez that would cause her to fall and he said definitely.
Port Arthur police were called to scene where the woman was located in the westbound lane at the intersection of Lake Arthur Drive and Ninth Avenue. She had a head injury and was brought to Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth in Beaumont where she died the next day.
An warrant was issued for the arrest of Rodgers and he turned him self in to law enforcement.
A call to Kevin Cribbs who is listed as Rodgers' attorney was not returned by press time.

Interview: Benjamin Ree Talks The Painter and the Thief (Exclusive)
Some of the most interesting documentaries are the ones that show the stark contrasts between two distinctly different people, and the conflicts-and surprising resolutions-that arise from those differences. The disparities, and ultimate settlements, between the preconceived protagonist and antagonist of the new Norwegian documentary, 'The Painter and the Thief,' which was directed by Benjamin Ree, will take viewers on a fascinating journey through the art industry.
The movie's story showcases how some socially elevated painters and sellers who have a multitude of cultural capital become inadvertently intertwined with society's perceived lower-class criminals who have rough backgrounds. The contrasts between the title characters in 'The Painter and the Thief' raise questions over the ore-conceived notions about both the artists and criminals who drive the art world.
Neon is set to release 'The Painter and the Thief' today on Hulu and VOD, and in Virtual Cinemas and participating drive-ins. The feature's official distribution after ih played at this year's Sundance Film Festival, where it won the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Creative Storytelling.
'The Painter and the Thief' showcases how surveillance footage reveals an Oslo art gallery robbery, during which two large canvases were taken off the premises by two men. It doesn't take long for the suspects to be apprehended, and one of the thieves, Karl-Bertil Nordland, ultimately admitted that he and his cohort stole the art because they felt the paintings were beautiful.
The admission helped influence the painter, Barbora Kysilkova, to change her mind about the suspect, and she ultimately decided that she wanted to meet the man who made the confession. As a result, she surprisingly sought to form a camaraderie with Nordland, who initially appeared to fit the normal description of a criminal; he has multiple tattoos, already spent eight years in prison and is so detached from taking responsibility for his actions that he has claimed that he doesn't know what happened to the paintings he helped steal.
But the Czech artist decided to overlook those stereotypes, and spend time with the career criminal who stole her two paintings. After she invited the thief to sit for a portrait, the two formed an improbable relationship that forever linked them.
Ree generously took the time recently to talk about directing 'The Painter and the Thief' during an exclusive interview. Among other things, the filmmaker discussed that he wanted to show Kysilkova and Nordland's bond in a documentary after he read about the thief's trial in Norwegian newspapers, and felt compelled to chronicle the human drama and bond between them on screen. The helmer also interwove archival footage with new footage he shot of the title characters' relationship, in order to show all of the dramatic events in both of their lives.
ShockYa (SY): You directed the new documentary, 'The Painter and the Thief.' What was it about the unlikely relationship between the title characters, the painter, Barbora Kysilkova, and the thief, Karl-Bertil Nordland, that convinced you to show the relationship between them in a film?

Stone In Love Returns To Orris Stage Friday
By Editor | July 14, 2021
By MARK EVANS
Stone in Love is familiar to local music fans. The Journey tribute band returns this Friday night as part of the Ste. Genevieve Chamber of Commerce Summer Music Series at the Orris.
Last Friday night, Anthology, an Allman Brothers tribute band, was on stage, after the series took a week off for the holiday on July 2.
Stone in Love was formed on April 1, 2007. According to its Facebook page, it was playing to audiences of more than 7,000 within two years.

Texas budget deficit 'not nearly as dire' as expected
Politics // Texas Politics
Jeremy Wallace, Austin Bureau
Nov. 30, 2020 Updated: Nov. 30, 2020 6:10 p.m.
Texas House Speaker Dennis Bonnen and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick appear at a Nov. 30 meeting of the Legislative Budget Board. The board discussed an anticipated $4.6-billion shortfall in revenues caused by a slowdown in the Texas oil and gas industry and by the coronavirus pandemic.
As bad as the COVID-19 pandemic has been for the economy, a surge in online retail sales has helped Texas rebound from what state officials thought would be an even more disastrous budget deficit.
Back in July, the state's top financial prognosticator warned state lawmakers to brace for a nearly $4.6 billion budget hole to fill in the state budget. But now, Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar said things look a lot better as consumer spending has surged at sporting goods stores, grocery stores, liquor stores and home improvement stores.
"The outlook for the current 2-year budget is not nearly as dire as we feared in July," Hegar said.
After the 2019 Legislative session ended, it was projected that the state would collect almost $121.8 billion in revenue over the next two years. That would have given the state a financial cushion of nearly $3 billion. But when the pandemic hit, the state revised its revenue projection to $110.2 billion, leaving the state with almost a $4.6 billion hole.
Hegar, who is from Katy, couldn't say exactly how much smaller the deficit will be, but expressed optimism that it will be better than anticipated. Hegar delivered his comments on Monday to the Legislative Budget Board, a group of 10 lawmakers who get regular updates on the state's revenue projections. That committee is headed up by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dennis Bonnen.

Online sales tax collections soar
The size of the deficit so far is based on what the Legislature agreed to spend for the two-year budget cycle that started in 2019 and runs through September of 2021.
For lawmakers, the challenge will be how to address growing expenses — including a school funding increase for the 2021 to 2023 budget cycle. In 2019, the Legislature invested $11.5 billion to boost teacher pay, expand access to pre-K and reduce the rise in property taxes. But when the legislation passed, it was not funded beyond 2021. To keep those payraises and property tax reforms funded, lawmakers would need an estimated $13 billion.
Overall, state sales tax collections are down almost 5 percent from a year ago, but Hegar said other sources of revenue are in double-digit declines. Hegar said the sharpest declines are in hotel occupancy tax collections, alcohol tax collections and the state's oil and gas severance taxes, which are all down over 40 percent from last year.
But a key to stabilizing the budget has been a new requirement that online vendors charge sales tax . Before 2019, those taxes went uncollected in Texas. Already, the state has pulled in more than $1.25 billion in taxes on online sales, more than twice the amount that the state had expected to collect.
The new law was in response to a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said states could charge sales taxes on online purchases even if a company did not have a physical presence within their territories.
Rainy Day Fund balance: $10.7 billion
Lawmakers have been bracing for the worst since the pandemic hit. Gov. Greg Abbott, Patrick and Bonnen earlier this year called on many state agencies to cut their budgets by 5 percent in hopes of lessening the financial fallout of the declining state revenues.
"To prepare for this economic shock, we must take action today to ensure that the state can continue providing the essential government services that Texans expect," a joint letter by those three leaders said back in May.
Hegar said his projections do not include money from the federal government for COVID-19 relief to the state and future federal money that could be used to plug budget holes.
Lawmakers will also have the benefit of an economic stabilization fund often referred to as the Rainy Day Fund. Hegar's office estimated there was $10.7 billion in that fund as of last week.
Monday's meeting at the Texas Capitol was also one of the first tests for lawmakers seeking to hold in-person committee meetings.
All 10 members of the committee and staff were tested for COVID-19 before the meeting, Bonnen said. None were positive. While members did not wear masks during the session, they had plastic barriers between them to prevent spreading the virus.

Walton, Steyn take Tallawahs to final
Thu Jul 21, 2016 02:01 PM Last update on: Thu Jul 21, 2016 02:12 PM

Chadwick Walton slammed 97 as Jamaica Tallawahs beat Barbados Tridents by 36 runs in a rain-affected fixture in Kingston and qualified for the final of CPL 2016.
The bulk of the scoring in Tallawahs' 195 for 5, in a match that had been reduced to 18-overs-a-side after rains lashed Kingston for over an hour, was done during the course of a second-wicket stand of 127 between Walton and Kumar Sangakkara, who made a 31-ball 50.
Tridents slipped to 55 for 4 in the eighth over, before Nicholas Pooran mounted a spirited fightback by bringing up the fastest half-century this season, off 23 balls. But as the asking rate creeped up to over 15 runs an over less than halfway into the chase, Tridents were left with no option but to go for broke. They were bowled out for 159 in the final over.
"Winning the toss was a good decision, but we didn't bowl well, and so we deserve to be on the losing side," Kieron Pollard, the Tridents captain, said after the match. "You can't bowl contrary to what your plans are and still end up winning. We have had a few guys injured, but we can't use that as an excuse. Guys who get an opportunity should show why they deserve to be in the XI. We can't slip up going into the business end. Hopefully this is another learning experience for us and we'll look to fight another day."
Tridents had an early boost as Ravi Rampaul removed Chris Gayle in the third over after they had opted to field. For the next hour, they came under Walton's wheel. The opener, who topped 20 just once this season, struck nine fours and five sixes over the course of his 54-ball knock, before being caught at long-on in an attempt to clear the ropes and bring up his maiden T20 century.
Andre Russell, promoted to No. 4, was out first ball to David Wiese, but Rovman Powell lent the finishing touches with one four and four sixes in his unbeaten 14-ball 34 as Tallawahs smashed 44 off the last three overs.
Tridents came out swinging and lost their openers - Shai Hope and Ahmed Shehzad - inside the fifth over as Dale Steyn and Andre Russell got among the wickets. Timroy Allen, the pacer, then struck twin blows, including that of Shoaib Malik, to leave Tridents in tatters at 55 for 4.
Pooran and Pollard kept the innings ticking along, before the pressure of bringing out the big shot resulted in Pollard falling into the short-ball trap set by Steyn. Two balls later, Steyn had his 200th T20 wicket when fellow South African David Wiese chipped one to Gayle at midwicket to leave Tridents at 90 for 6.
Pooran then muscled his way to six meaty sixes before his run-out deflated Tridents' charge. Steyn finished with 4 for 27 as the visitors slipped to their third loss in seven matches.

Egypt: Political crisis reaches stalemate
Wed., Aug. 7, 2013timer2 min. read
CAIRO—Egypt's political crisis entered a tense phase on Wednesday after international mediation efforts collapsed and the army-installed government repeated its threat to take action against supporters of deposed president Mohammed Morsi.
Both sides called their supporters on to the streets on Thursday, while Morsi supporters in two protest camps in Cairo strengthened sandbag-and-brick barricades to prepare for any action by security forces.
Acting president Adly Mansour, in a message on the eve of the Muslim Eid al-Fitr holiday, said Egypt was at a critical point. The interim government would press on with its plan to hold new elections in nine months, he said.
"The train of the future has departed, and everyone must realize the moment and catch up with it, and whoever fails to realize this moment must take responsibility for their decision," he said.
U.S. envoy William Burns headed home after days of trying to broker a compromise between the government and Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood. European Union envoy Bernardino Leon stayed on in the capital in the slim hope of reviving the effort.
But Brussels and Washington said they were very concerned that the Egyptian parties had not found a way to break what they called a dangerous stalemate.
"This remains a very fragile situation, which holds not only the risk of more bloodshed and polarization in Egypt, but also impedes the economic recovery, which is so essential for Egypt's successful transition," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in a joint statement.
The army ousted the Islamist Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected leader, on July 3 after huge street demonstrations against his rule. Morsi and leaders of his Muslim Brotherhood have been rounded up and detained. But thousands of their supporters have demonstrated to demand his reinstatement.
Nearly 300 people have been killed in political violence since the overthrow, including 80 Morsi supporters shot dead by security forces on July 27.
Interim prime minister Hazem el-Beblawi said the government's decision to dismantle the protest camps was final and its patience had nearly expired. Beblawi accused protesters of inciting violence, blocking roads and detaining citizens, and he warned that any further violence would be met "with utmost force and decisiveness."
"This means they are preparing for an even bigger massacre," said Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Gehad El-Haddad. "They should be sending us positive signals, not live bullets."
Any action could still be some time away, however. Egyptians celebrate Eid, which marks the end of the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan, from Thursday to Sunday, an inauspicious time for any act of violence.
Egypt's leading Islamic authority on Wednesday announced plans to host talks on the crisis after Eid, which might also forestall an assault by the security forces.
"There are some initiatives that can be built upon to start national reconciliation," an al-Azhar official told the state news agency MENA.


Still, it warned against the average citizen getting involved with controlling a wild animal.
"There is too much risk of injury to the citizen," Northeastern Regional Police Chief Bryan Rizzo said.
"If the citizen is an experienced hunter or someone with experiencing wildlife then I would say they should use their own judgment," Rizzo continued. "In this case, it was a hunter who had experience in handling live deer, and we are grateful for his intervention and quick thinking in getting the deer under control before the animal could injure anyone, itself or do more damage."
Growing up country
For Beck, Monday's thrill was nothing new.
He works at Johnson Controls. But his passion is hunting — he has a cabin in the northern part of Pennsylvania. He bow hunts, mostly. Growing up, his uncles had farms in York County where he'd spend his time.
Beck says he owns 16 deer. They're fallow deer, and he uses them for meat, keeping them penned in on his property.
"My generation is a dying breed," he said. "People aren't into our lifestyle anymore. They'd rather sit at home and play a video game than enjoy the outside."
Mystery of mama bear and 3 cubs' deaths solved
Beck was able to return to the Giant on Wednesday after getting a call from the store. They wanted to thank him as the deer, he estimated, could have done a lot more damage.
He watched video of the deer slamming into the door — it just didn't capture him getting knocked to the ground. After all, the experience happened so fast, he didn't have time to think about it.
Apparently he was able to subdue the deer just 50 seconds after it burst inside, people at the store told him.
"That's like a rodeo record," he said.

William G. Borden Papers
The William G. Borden Papers are divided into five series: Personal, United Automobile Workers Materials, Memorabilia, Publications, and Newspaper Clippings. The personal portion of the collection contains some Diocese of Toledo yearbooks, ephemera from the inauguration of President Jimmy Carter, and several interviews with William Borden conducted by his son Timothy Borden. The majority of the collection details Borden's involvement with the U.A.W. Local 12. This includes the charter agreements and by-laws of union locals in the Toledo area, correspondence between union officials, pamphlets and publications by and about the U.A.W., photographs, newspaper clippings, and memorabilia consisting of union and political buttons, pins, and identification badges. Of particular note is correspondence between William Borden and Local 12 president Richard T. Gosser before and during Gosser's incarceration for conspiracy and jury tampering. These papers provide documentation for researchers interested in local Toledo involvement in the U.A.W. as well as the day-to-day functions and responsibilities of a union local.
Collection is open for research. Materials may be accessed by request at the Ward M. Canaday Center for Special Collections on the fifth floor of the William S. Carlson Library on the main campus of the University of Toledo. Materials do not circulate.

William G. Borden was born in 1922 in Jersey City, NJ, to Alfred and Mary (Casey) Borden. The family moved to Toledo in the late 1920s when William's father took a job as a lithographer for the Chase Bag Company. William Borden graduated from Jesup W. Scott High School in 1941 and served in the U.S. Army from 1942-1946 as a tank commander in the Pacific theater. He returned to Toledo in 1946 to take a job as an assembler at the Swartzbaugh Manufacturing Company, where he joined the United Automobile Workers (U.A.W.) Local 12. In 1952, Borden became an International Representative with responsibility for organizing union locals in other plants as well as processing grievances from existing U.A.W. shops. In 1976, U.A.W. President Leonard Woodcock assigned Borden to the Community Action Program. In this position, Borden participated in the creation of the U.A.W. Local 12 Summer Camp in Sand Lake, MI, as well as the establishment of the Toledo Area Pension Plan. William Borden retired from the U.A.W. in 1982 and passed away in 2007.
