Darkfire
Darkfire is a fictional character in the DC Comics multiverse. He is the brother of Starfire and Blackfire.

Lady Styx
After returning home to their system after the events of the Infinite Crisis, the Omega Men found much of the Vegan system converted to Lady Styx's new "religion". Styx brainwashed and "zombified" acolytes who called themselves Darkstars. The Darkstars appeared to bring unity and peace to its followers through enlightenment by way of intolerance. Unavoidably, the Omega Men came to odds with the Darkstars on the remnants of Tamaran. There, all but the five Omega Men (Tigorr, Broot, Ryand'r, Elu, and Doc) were killed.

Heartstones
In this battle, the Omega Men discovered Lady Styx's true purpose to acquire the universal Heartstones. These talismans were borne of the universe itself, at the dawn of time and held great power. If she could collect all four, she could essentially "kill God" and take His place.

Ryand'r found one of these stones on Tamaran and acquired new powers of his own. As the Darkfire, he finished off the Darkstars. The Spider Guild allied with Styx put forth propaganda that the Omega Men had destroyed a peaceful Darkstar commune.

While Ryand'r sleeps, his powers of nuclear fusion detonate, damaging the Omega Men's ship. Vril Dox II tracks them by following Ryand'r's energy signature and sets course when the Guardians of the Universe interrupted him. They implored him to intervene in a matter because of their restricted involvement in Vegan affairs. They bade him to travel to Earth to stop the Omega Men. Tigorr salvaged a Zeta Beam transporter from the Rann-Thanagar War, which at first they could not get to work. However, the machine inadvertently transported them to the Philippines when frustrated. There surprisingly was another Vegan religious leader called Mother Zed. She and her followers stood to watch the Spider Guild decimate the Philippines. Their patron was none other than a Zamaron warrior who the Spiders overtook. They attempt to steal Zed's Heartstone, but the Omega Men arrive in time to save her. Though Elu extended his force field around them, they found that the Spiders had destroyed the land. She recognizes a kindred spirit in Ryand'r, whom the Heartstone attunes itself. Before they could plan their next move, Dox who had also gathered a plethora of Earth’s heroes for support confronted them.

The Omega Men are teleported away by their ship's Zeta Beam. Lianna joins them, claiming they are the universe's last hope. With the help of the Spider Guild, Lady Styx continued to drain the energies of her followers across Vega. Lianna explains to Tigorr that the Spider Emperor has a third Heartstone. When Styx acquires the fourth, she will bring all four together, “kill god”, and swap places. Elu became angered that Ryand'r and Lianna had led them into a new mess, which triggered Darkfire's power.

They find the Spiders' ship in suspended animation and ambushed by thousands of small energy beings that act in concert. After they attacked, they assembled a singular form and inquired after Ryand'r "What am I?"

Insanity Wave
Insanity Wave is a power pop band based in Madrid (Spain) with a style usually defined as “snotty power pop” or “crazy guitar pop”. The band started up in 1991 formed by a bunch of High School friends.

HISTORY

In the early 90’s shortly after forming the band the boys signed a contract with “La Fábrica Magnética” to publish their first E.P. called “Insanity Wave E.P.” (1993) and after two wild touring years they released the band first L.P. “Go-Off” (1995) that was released also in Brazil through Paradise Records (1996). This are two power pop gems now out of catalogue and impossible to find.

The band was at full throttle at that time and decided to record a new album in Chicago with Jeff Murphy at Short Order Recorder Studio. This Chicago sessions gave birth to “Do the Worm” (1997) published by Roto Records in Spain and with an U.S. release in 1998 with the great independent label Spin Art based in N.Y.

This three releases were compiled in 1999 in the 3X33 compilation which included also previously unreleased material from the band first days.

Immediately they fled to the U.S. again; to North Carolina this time; to record their most risky album until then “The Minor League” recorded with the incredible Mitch Easter in his own Fidelitorium Studios. Mitch Easter produced the first R.E.M. record and has worked with almost every great alternative band. This band milestone was released in 2000 by Elmer Music, the band’s own label, and gave a different view of the Insanity sound, giving way to a more American textures, with the inclusion of  Pedal Steel guitar, Autoharp, mandolins etc…

Insanity Wave has taken part throughout its history in many different projects such as “PEPSI Generation Next ” album (1998) or the O.S.T. of the films “La mujer más fea del mundo” (1999); “Siete cafés por semana” (1999); “Menos es más” (2000); “Tiempo de Tormenta” (2003) and  “Besos para todas”(2000), film in which they also performed disguised as “ Los Acapulco”, a 60’s orchestra.

The band has also played in the big festivals such as FIB (Benicassim); Serie B ( La Rioja); Primavera Sound (Barcelona) and IPO (Liverpool) and has toured Portugal, Ireland, France, U.S.A. and U.K.

In the summer of 2007 the band visited Mitch Easter in Kernersville one more time to record their new album that will be released before 2008.

Philippine Normal University-Quezon
The Philippine Normal University - Quezon campus is the fourth regional campus established by the university in the municipality of  Lopez, Quezon as part of its vision of becoming "the primary source of high-quality teachers and education managers that can directly inspire and shape the quality of  Filipino students and graduates in the country and the world."

The PNU Quezon campus started its operation in 1979 by offering teacher education courses in consortium with the Polytechnic University of the Philippines -  Lopez, Quezon branch wherein the laboratory high school department of the latter became the training ground of the aspiring teachers.

When the consortium agreement between the two state universities expired in 1993, PNU continued its operation in the town by transferring to Lopez National Comprehensive High School campus. Similar to the previous arrangement with PUP, PNU also used the facilities of the LNCHS until 1999. During that six-year period, it gradually acquired its own site thru land donations from the municipal and provincial governments. Its new and own campus is located adjacent to the LNCHS and a few hundred meters away from PUP.

George F. Rand III
George F. Rand III was born in Buffalo and entered Princeton from Deerfield. Upon his graduation from Princeton, in 1947, he was Phi Beta Kappa and valedictorian. George was a member of Elm Club and a formidable debater with WhigClio. His Princeton career was interrupted for service with the Second Armored Division in Europe, as a rifle platoon leader.

After graduation he married the former Jayne Kadey, and they had six children, all of whom survive. After Jayne's death, George married the former Jo Ann Carrolwho survives.

George was very active in Buffalo community affairs and was a noted civic leader. He worked for Marine land Bank for 18 years, and left the bank in 1968 as V.P.International. Shortly thereafter he formed Rand Capital Corp., Buffalo's only publicly owned venture capital enterprise, and remained chairman until his death. George held positions on the Buffalo Board of Education, the Greater Buffalo Development Board, the steering committee for the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and on the boards of the Buffalo Seminary, Buffalo Science Museum, the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, the Buffalo Historical Society, and Canisius College, He was, for a time, a member of the vestry at St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral.

His most important volunteer activity was his work at Buffalo Emergency Hospital, now Sheehan Memorial, where he served as board chairman.

Vishnudas Bhave
Vishnudas Bhave, विष्णुदास भावे in Marathi, was the leading dramatist of Maharashtra in India. The first play in Marathi "Sita Swayamvar" was staged first in Sangli 1843 by Vishnudas Bhave. In this venture, Vishnudas Bhave was fully supported by Rajasaheb Chintamanrao Patwardhan. After the success of the play "Sita Swayamvar" Vishnudas Bhave staged plays on episodes of the Ramayana. He traveled a lot with his troupes for the plays. He also ventured into puppet shows. Vishnudas Bhave died on 9th August 1901.

In Maharashtra the theatrical activity began in 1843 with Vishnudas Amrut Bhave's Sanglikar Natak Mandali. This drama company was influenced by the English plays. Vishnudas Bhave was an extremely gifted scholar - playwright, director and able organiser. A drama school was also set up in Sangli. Vishnudas Bhave came to Mumbai in 1853 and in the beginning he staged his "Khel-Akhyan" (play-narrations in verse) and plays in the wada of Shri Vishvanath Shimpi in the Girgaum locality of the city. The stories of his plays were rooted in Sanskrit mythological and religious literature. Songs and music were the strengths of Vishnudas Bhave's dramas. His play "Sita Swayamvar" became very popular and received much encomium.

The Maharaja of Sangli Chintamanrao Appa Saheb Patwardhan gave his partronage and much encouragement to Vishnudas Bhave, who had extended his drama activity from Mumbai to Pune also.

The history of Marathi Theater records that "Bhave produced plays in Marathi with music composed on Karnataki base. His play was much admired by the Governor's Secretary... religious spirit, scientific singing by a sort of chorus in the midst of dialogues by other characters, crude dances and quaint costumes and make-up and certain skillful sword-play were their outstanding qualities. One has to remember that the audience was very devotional in character".

Besides Vishnudas Bhave's company other drama companies also came into existence, chief among them being Mumbaikar Natak Mandali, Amarchand Wadikar Natak Mandali, and Chaulwadi Hindu Natak Mandali. The plays by these drama companies attracted large audiences.

Previous to 1843 in Tanjore its king Raja Shahaji Bhonsle had written plays during 1594-1664 but they were not performed on the stage.

It was after 1843 that the Marathi theater began to progress. University education had begun in Maharashtra. In 1868 Vinayak Kirti entered the Marathi Theater with his historical drama Madhavrao Peshwa. The plays by Vishnudas Bhave and later playwrights were distinguished by excessive prominence to songs and music but Vinayak Kirti's Madhavrao Peshwa had absolutely no songs or musical recitals; instead the whole drama was acted with dialogues which were totally in prose. Here the Marathi drama branches off in two directions - Prose Plays and Verse Plays. Now the Marathi Theater was on its un-interrupted march.

George Lorenzo Noyes
George “Shavey” Lorenzo Noyes was born in Norway, Maine on August 30, 1863 and was the son of Amos Oscar Noyes and Anna Chase Noyes. Since A. Oscar Noyes neglected the family as he was away much of the time attending to his business interests and civic commitments, George’s mother Anna had the most influence on him. As a result, young George spent extended periods with his Grandfather Chase in the western mountains of Maine where he came to embrace the solitude of the Maine wilderness, rejecting formal education and organized religion.

George Shavey Noyes is best remembered in Maine as a noted mineralogist, naturalist and artist. In the summer of 1890, while in Fryeburg, George went to the nearby White Mountain artist colony in North Conway, NH to pursue his interest in art and talked with some of the many artists who came there every summer. It is not known how many artists he met, but it’s on record that George spent the day and night at the home of Benjamin Champney, the famous landscape artist.

George kept an undated journal in which he wrote his thoughts on life, God, religion, children, war, pit falls of modern life and the spiritual beauty of nature. The writing style addressed the presence of a future reader and makes frequent use of colloquial spellings to make points. Much of his writing takes the form of allegories in which he comments on the absurdity of social norms and human folly. The 1,500-page journal was profusely illustrated with some 300 monochrome ink wash landscapes and pencil sketches, many in a chiaroscuro style, capturing atmospheric lighting conditions. These paintings, influenced by The White Mountain style, were masterfully done with confident bold strokes and surprising textural details as captured only by someone who lived close to nature. His creative work conveys his life long optimism and belief that nature was the divine expression of God.

In the 1920’s the Erichman Print Gallery of New York, NY had an exhibition of a number of his paintings and sketches. Although a well-known artist, due to his particular solitary wilderness life, he never pursued art as a livelihood but as a private expression of his spiritual reverence for nature. During his life he worked as a mineral collector and operated the Noyes Mountain Quarry in Greenwood Maine, known today as the Harvard Quarry. Many of the fines made there are in museums, including The Field Museum of Natural History Chicago and the Harvard Museum of Glass Flowers.

George counted among his friends and associates George and Freeland Howe, Robert Bickford, Vivian Ackers, Tim Heath, George Kunz, Alfred LaCroix and others. In 1905 he and boyhood friend George Howe, formed the “The Sons of Daniel Boone”, with 70 members that include a girl’s youth group. In 1884 George married Belle H. Smith, they suffered the death of an infant children son and had one surviving child Max. It appears that before or about 1905 George and Belle were separated. With their only child, Max serving in World War I, George by his own admission writes he is again alone and “orphaned” to the world.

After his death in 1945, his journal and paintings were discovered and remained in a private family collection until 2007 when nearly all of the paintings and much of the manuscript was auctioned off to collectors.

Once Upon a time in the North
Once Upon a Time in the North is a short story by Phillip Pullman, and a prequel to His Dark Materials to be published in April 2008.

Sign War
Sign wars are semi-official competitions between opposing political campaigns at events and/or locations where campaign visibility is paramount to each side. During a sign war, campaign workers, both staffers and volunteers, seek to have a greater sign presence than their opposition. Sign wars may consist of tens of thousands of signs in standard sizes ranging from placards to 4'x8's and may include a wide variety of signs that have been improvised by campaigns and their volunteers.

The occurrence of some sign wars is merely a matter of circumstance. They begin when one campaign notices one or more opposition campaign workers canvassing an area with signs and it is deemed necessary to attempt to neturalize the opposition's visibility. Other instances of spontaneous sign wars occur at events where there will be candidate appearances, beginning with one side seeking to either shake their opponent or make their own boss swell with pride. When the other side retaliates or seeks to neutralize the opposition, a sign war ensues.

Other times, tradition dictates that an event will include a sign war. One such instance is at the popular Shad Planking in Wakefield, Virginia. Every April, locals and politicians from all around the Commonwealth gather for some politicking, beer drinking, and fish eating. In Virginia, the term "Shad Planking" has become almost synonymous with a high density sign deployment.

Another popular Virginia sign war occurs at the Buena Vista Labor Day Parade in Buena Vista, Virginia, between Lexington and Lynchburg. The BV Labor Day celebration began in the 1960s as a way for Buena Vista to showcase their newly constructed park. Candidates are invited to take part in a short parade through town that concludes with stump speeches in the park. It has become unofficially where campaign season kicks off in Virginia, marking little more than two months until election day.

Sign wars are not just a Virginia phenomnena, but occur nationally as well. In August 2007, Democrat presidential hopefuls John Edwards and Barack Obama each claimed victory for his side in the sign war that occured at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.
