By Oliver Hamilton Staff Writer The filing period for the vacant seat on the Carrboro Board of Aldermen is now closed, and Damon Seils will be the lone contender in an election costing the town more than $10,000. Some local officials said it came as a surprise that Seils was the only candidate inter- ested in running for the position, vacated by former Alderman Dan Coleman in December. “We were hoping for more candidates, but if not, then it will be Seils DTH/ERIN HULL Damon Seils, and the write-in option,” Morale team captain Zack Newbauer, kid co-captain Cameron Powell and hospital committee member Shakeia Burgin overlook the dancers. said Tracy Reams, direc- from the Carrboro tor of the Orange County Planning Board, will Board of Elections, Dance Marathon raises $430,182 for NC Children’s Hospital run unopposed for Friday before the filing a spot on the town’s period ended.

  • Civilian Application of Wartime Military
    SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES: CIVILIAN APPLICATION OF WARTIME MILITARY TECHNOLOGY IN MODERN JAPAN, 1945-1964 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Takashi Nishiyama, M.A. The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Professor James R. Bartholomew, Adviser Approved by Professor Philip C. Brown _____________________________ Professor John. F. Guilmartin, Jr. Graduate Program in History ABSTRACT This dissertation examines civilian application of military technology in Japan after World War II. As a case study, I focus on the historical metamorphosis of wartime technology ― such as military aircraft deployed for kamikaze suicide missions― into the highly successful Shinkansen high-speed bullet train. In retrospect, the shift in the socio-technological landscape in Japan after 1945 was drastic, spectacular, and unprecedentedly successful. Employing a bottom-up approach, I highlight the decentralized character of Japan’s conversion process from wartime to postwar eras. Specifically, I examine the roles of former military engineers in the public research and development sector at the grass roots-level. The crucial variable in the conversion process, I argue, was the remarkable adaptability and flexibility of these engineers and their knowledge, especially in support of Japan’s technological development. The course of the technological transformation was neither obvious nor preordained. It was largely idiosyncratic and contingent on numerous individual decisions and actions within the engineering community. At least the bullet train and other modern technological artifacts were a product of such ii development; postwar technological artifacts were essentially amalgamations, reproductions, and reconfigurations of pre-1945 technologies with little orchestrated effort from the top.

  • Sesame Street by Cataquack Warrior
    Sesame Street By Cataquack Warrior Sunny days, sweeping the clouds away… You’re on your way to a certain street, and you can bet that there will be lots of interesting things to do and learn once you arrive. Time Since you’re going to start on the same street regardless, we’ll instead ask what year you’re starting. Roll a 1d6 to determine the decade of your stay. 1. 1969 2. 1979 3. 1989 4. 1999 5. 2009 6. Free Choice- Pick any year that Sesame Street has been active. Species There are all sorts of people here on Sesame Street, so pick whichever one you want. Roll a 1d30+5 to determine your starting age or pay 50 CP to choose. Pay 50 CP to select your gender, or else keep the gender from your last jump. Drop-In- You come as you were from the previous jump. Native Human- You may not be as unusual as some of the other creatures on Sesame Street, but you are still a key part of the community. Grouch- Noted for your flattened head and lack of a nose, you are notable for your grouchy behavior and love for disgusting things. Even so, you can still find a place to be happy – I mean miserable – on Sesame Street. Monster- Monsters come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but they are by the large furry and not that scary once you get to know them. Vampire- A vampire of the Von Count line, to be more precise. The vampires in this world have a few special powers and eccentricities, but they are mostly harmless; on the flipside, though, they are immune to many traditional vampire weaknesses such as sunlight and water.

The following collection gives several of Washington Irving's sketches of Dutch life in tlie valley of the Hudson. These stories we associate with Irving just as we associate stories of Califor- nian life with Bret Harte, or stories of Creole life in Louisiana with Mr. Cable. Irving was one of the first to perceive the possi- bilities offered to the imagination by the varied phases of Ameri- can life. But his sketches are scattered about in half a dozen volumes. It has seemed worth while to gather a number together and to call attention to some of their chief characteristics. The Introduction is mainly on literary and historical points. The map on page 10 gives the situation of the places mentioned on the lower Hudson. For some hints on the study of Irving's ' style, the teacher is referred to the Introduction to ' The Sketch Book " in this series. Edward E. Hale, Jr. / CONTENTS. INTRODUCTION. I.
