  • Summary of 2007 Event
    Summary of 2007 Event The second annual Goldsboro Gaming Expo built on the success of the previous year to increase the number of exhibitors, speakers, attendees, and sponsors. Expectations for attendance, marketing potential, and consumer satisfaction were exceeded across the board. To strengthen our overall position in the marketplace a new brand identity was developed in the summer of 2007. Goldsboro Gaming Expo (G2EXPO) was renamed to Carolina Games Summit and a new webpage launched. 2007 Dates: Saturday, January 27th Venue: Wayne Community College, Goldsboro, NC Format: Our mission is to increase awareness of the North Carolina videogame industry by bringing the technology and people behind video games face to face with gamers of all ages. We mix game development speakers and exhibitors with equal amounts of game tournaments and free play stations so that every attendee has something to enjoy. Attendees researched their future gaming careers by speaking with Universities, Schools and Game Developers then fragged their friends in one of eighteen gaming tournaments. Event Feedback “I think this is fantastic.” Attendee Michael Brill from Knoxville, TN "A professor told us about this. He said it would be a good chance to hear from people in the industry and get a feel for how they work. I've gotten a lot of good information. I don't think there's too many of these in our state or in our area. It's really cool because you get to experience new types of games." Attendee Jason Welch from Raleigh, NC "He's been playing since he was 2," Attendee Michael Temple from Romulus, MI said of his 6 year old son.

Healthy news ecosystems are diverse, in North Carolina, ranging from convening interconnected, sustainable, and deeply engaged with conversations to forming partnerships to tackling their communities. When an ecosystem is healthy, the concrete problems by building practical solutions. whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

    THE CURTIS MEDIA STORY 1968—2008 To longtime BMI shareholder and North Carolina broadcasting legend Don Curtis Congratulations on the 40th anniversary of Curtis Media Group and thank you for your strong support of our songwriters and music publishers. Your Friends at BMI® WELCOME Dear Friends and Partners, It is with great pleasure—and no small measure of humility—that I present to you “Live and Local, The Curtis Media Story,” commemorating four decades of service to the radio listeners of North Carolina. Inside this keepsake publication, you’ll learn much about our rich history while, at the same time, getting to know some of our fabulous people and, of course, Don Curtis himself. Also included are comprehensive descriptions of our radio stations and Internet companies plus some very memorable photo archives. I find it almost inconceivable that Don Curtis founded this company the very same year I entered high school. To this day, Don is an energetic and passionate visionary, who I consider a good friend and contemporary. It rarely occurs to me that he was well on his way to becoming one of our industry’s most respected op- erators while I was still dreaming of becoming a big-time deejay. Thank goodness he stuck with his plan, and I abandoned mine! These last six years have been among the most rewarding of my career. Don Curtis fosters an environment of creativity, community service and a competitive spirit. I’m grateful he’s allowed me to assemble a team that’s among the most talented and dedicated in all of commercial radio and, in return, we never, ever take our indepen- dence for granted.

  • Queen Anne's Revenge Shipwreck Project Volume 5, Number 2
    Update from the Queen Anne's Revenge Shipwreck Project Volume 5, Number 2 Summer 2005 Field Expedition A Success This past May project staff supervised a four- week excavation at the QAR site marking the first time since October 2000 that whole-scale artifact recovery took place. Major support was received fromGolden LEAF Foundation, Cape Fear Community College, US Coast Guard Fort Macon, Comfort Inn of Morehead City,Intersal Inc. and Nautilus Productions.Department of Cultural Resourcessupervisors and staff came from the NC Underwater Archaeology Branch and NC Maritime Museum. Of the 20 field days, inclement weather kept them ashore for four days, more often than not, providing time needed to catch up on paperwork and equipment maintenance. As usual, it was hard work: up at 7:00 A.M., on the boats by 8:00, checking all gear and equipment, and casting off by 8:30. They were on the site by 9:00 for seven to eight hours of excavation, carefully noting and recording where artifacts were found, hauling them to the surface, and preparing them for transfer to the conservation laboratories at East Carolina University in Greenville. Each day's crew usually included 12 divers, crew members, and QAR staff, but some days there were others aboard: visiting scientists, archaeologists, an occasional VIP guest, and TV filming crews. By the end of the month, they had raised 308 pieces, ranging from a 2000-pound cannon to lead shot and eventually there will be more because 154 of those pieces are heavy concretions that will yield more artifacts when taken apart.
