The Chatham County agreement is for 50 years. Additionally, we want to express our appreciation to Governor Nathan Deal, the Georgia State Representatives and Senators for approving $3 million dollars to assist us in designing a much-needed Mark Smith expanded facility. Chairman With this appropriation we will be able to start the design of a dynamic change to our facility which will increase our exhibit hall from 100k square feet to 200k square feet, add an additional 40k square foot ballroom, add additional meeting rooms, and add a parking deck. As stewards we are also moving forward in a partnership with a developer to support an additional 300 guest room hotel adjacent to the convention center. Both an expansion to our facility and development of a hotel adjacent to the convention center supports Governor Deal’s efforts to ensure that Georgia remains the No.1 place in the country to do business. Our goal is to be ONE with our community-- to continue to be a community leader, to be a visionary, and to support and inspire future development and growth.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation/Georgia Crime Information Center Annual Training finished the busy month. 4 General Manager’s Letter Honestly, as I evaluate the growth and challenges of SITCC’s 2016-17 operating year, it has been nothing but dynamic, both in challenges and successes. Hurricane Matthew brought damage to the facility, but we still hosted the Red Cross as they provided shelter for individuals and families who had been more severely impacted. As my mother used to say, “In every storm there is a Sherrie Spinks silver lining.” From the storm winds of Matthew, a challenging General Manager time for Savannah, we hired 6 people who had been evacuees at the trade center. It feels good to provide neighbors temporary respite in times of emergency, but to be able to offer long term employment is a rewarding opportunity few experience. The art community has also found a home in the Trade Center. Our vast expanses of blank walls have come to life with the artwork of local artists. Not only did we provide gallery space, we provided community events by hosting free artist showcases. Visitors to the center can enjoy the charm and uniqueness of the city as they are treated to the local cuisine and the artistic talents of our beautiful city. Savannah is known as the “Hostess City” and as dynamic stewards our mission is to establish a precedent to be a front runner in our industry.

This thesis presents contributions in three areas of diffusion imaging technology: diffusion reconstruction, quantification, and validation of derived metrics. It presents a novel reconstruction method by combining generalized q-sampling imaging, spherical harmonic basis functions and constrained spherical deconvolution methods to estimate the fiber orientation distribution function (ODF). This method provides improved spatial localization of brain nuclei and fiber tract separation.

  • NOTES on the HISTORY of the FEDERAL COURT of CONNECTICUT* by Josk A
    THE FEDERAL COURT OF CONNECTICUT NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF THE FEDERAL COURT OF CONNECTICUT* By Josk A. CABRANES** Chief Judge Feinberg, Judge Oakes, Mr. Fiske, distinguished guests and friends: I am honored and pleased to be here this afternoon. I am especially pleased because I think it is always salutary to remind New York residents, including judges and lawyers, that there is life (and law) on the far side of the Bronx. I say this, if I may indulge in a snippet of autobiography, as one who spent his childhood in that very borough, and his adolescence in furthest Queens, deep in the Eastern District, until I came, in the ripeness of years and by the grace of Kingman Brewster, and Abraham Ribicoff, to New Haven in the District of Connecticut. That being my personal odyssey, I like to look upon it as a progress of sorts. This is the third of our Second Circuit Historical Lectures. The series can now be said to have something of a history of its own. In preparing these remarks on my own court in the District of Connecticut, I have looked to the lectures of Judge Weinfeld and Judge Nickerson in much the same way that one consults the authorities on a given point of law. Now and again, those lectures have provided me with precedent, but (in the fashion of our profession) from time to time I found it appropriate to distin- guish the early cases. For the District of Connecticut is rather different from its southern - and, as we shall see, junior - cousins.

  • Antonio Sabato Jr. -- Bio
    Antonio Sabato Jr. -- Bio Antonio Sabato Jr. once overlooked Time Square from a 90-foot billboard dressed only in his Calvin Klein underwear. The iconic fashion designer hired the actor to be the company’s first celebrity model since Mark Wahlberg and it was shot by famed photographer, Herb Ritts. That combination caused a sensation when the photos appeared in every magazine and hundreds of billboards throughout the world. Since then, Antonio Sabato, Jr. has had a long and varied career which recently included starting in the upcoming film One Nation Under God, guest-starring on roles on ABC’s, Castle, ABC Family’s Baby Daddy, as well as on Bones and Hot In Cleveland. He was seen in Investigation Discovery’s Heartbreakers, FX’s The League and you can now tune in every weekday to see him host his own syndicated renovation show, Fix It & Finish It. The half hour program takes viewers around the country to find homes, cabins, RV’s and even tree houses that need a makeover both inside and out. Antonio and his team of contractors and designers go in and do their magic all in one day with renovation results that astound and that also change lives. While shooting Fix It and Finish It, Antonio was asked to join the cast of Dancing With The Stars (19) – an offer he couldn’t refuse – so he has been demolishing houses by day and dancing with pro-partner, Cheryl Burke by night. He has managed to keep up a hectic schedule and delight fans of both shows with his dancing and handy, household hints.
