Margaret Venable to Be Inaugurated as Dalton State's Fifth President
The public is invited to attend a special ceremony in the history of Dalton State College where Dr. Margaret Venable will officially be inaugurated as the fifth president of the College.
During the ceremony on Friday, Oct. 21, at 2 p.m. at the Burran Bell Tower Quadrangle, Hank Huckaby, chancellor of the University System of Georgia, will place the presidential medallion around Venable's neck officially investing the power of the presidency in her. She will also speak on Dalton State's history and future in her inaugural address.
Since being appointed president in September of 2015, Venable has shared her vision of making Dalton State a first-choice destination college while keeping tuition affordable.
"I am glad to be at an institution where I can make a difference in the lives of the students," said Venable, who has nearly 30 years' experience in the University System of Georgia. "That's my favorite thing about working on a college campus, getting to know the students. I am humbled and honored to be chosen. There is no other college I'd rather be president of."
The inauguration and investiture ceremony will be the culmination of a week of special events highlighting culture, service, scholarship, and sport at Dalton State, said Lee Ann Nimmons, professor of mathematics and chair of the Celebrations Committee that is planning inauguration activities.
"It was important to Dr. Venable that we use the occasion of the inauguration to shine a spotlight on the College and the depth of programming offered here," Nimmons said.
Inauguration week activities are all free and open to the public.
The week's events begin with a campus community concert on Monday, Oct. 17. Members of the campus community –students, faculty, and staff-- will share their musical talents at 7:30 p.m. in the Goodroe Auditorium.
On Tuesday, Oct. 18, members of the faculty, staff, and students will give back to the campus and community with a day of service. Acts of service range from reading to area school kids, to planting seedlings on the Roadrunner Trail System, to student nurses supplementing the work of hospital nurses, to sprucing up the campus for Friday's big event.
A student research showcase is planned for Wednesday, Oct. 19 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Peeples Hall. A total of 21 Dalton State students will share findings from their undergraduate research projects in oral and poster presentations.
Also on Oct. 19 is an open house on campus. This is an opportunity for the community to visit newly opened and renovated buildings including, Peeples Hall, Pope Student Center, Mashburn Hall, and the Health Professions Building. Tours given by the Roadrunner Student Ambassadors will leave from the bell tower every 30 minutes between 5 and 7:00 p.m. There will also be a grand opening of the Health Professions Building at 4 p.m. in the main lobby. Among the featured spaces in that building are the College's first ever Student Health Center and a trauma simulation lab.
Faculty representatives will debate the value and relevance of each of their academic disciplines in a Save Our Civilization Panel: 2055 on Oct. Thursday, 20 at 6 p.m. in the Goodroe Auditorium. Humorist Jerry Drye will moderate the lighthearted, good-natured discussion which revolves around a future civilization and need for funding the newly found planet Daltonia. Faculty members participating in the panel discussion will be Matt Hipps representing the School of Liberal Arts, Ben Laughter for the School of Business, Robert Overstreet from the School of Education, Robin Cleeland representing the School of Health Professions, and Gene Mesco for the School of Science, Technology, and Mathematics. Marjorie Yambor of the Department of Communication will serve as the science reporter describing the discovery of the new planet.
In addition to the inauguration and investiture ceremony at 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 21 there will be a women's volleyball game against William Carey University at 7 p.m. in Bandy Gymnasium.
Inauguration week kicks off the College's 50th anniversary year. More events will be planned throughout the year.

Presentation of the exhibition by Jean-Louis Froment, curator.
"Culture CHANEL tends to reveal to the public the foundations of the brand through the unique life of Gabrielle Chanel, emphasizing her links with the artists she supported and that nurtured her creativity."
As inspirational subjects that go beyond mere geographical locations, Gabrielle Chanel's places especially marvel for some intangible radiance, which for an instant unravels the way they are perceived in reality, and makes them uncannily hers.
Still today, these same sensations enliven the creations of the House of CHANEL.
Often linked to romantic liaisons, the places visited within the latest CULTURE CHANEL exhibition in Seoul, draft out a "Map of Tendre", a promenade through this great couturière's secret twists and turns, to settle momentarily in yet another place enamoured of modernity: the Dongdaemun Design Plaza with its architecture designed by Zaha Hadid.
Saumur, Brive, Aubazine, Moulins, Royallieu, Paris, Deauville, Venice, Biarritz, Roquebrune, Eaton Hall, Hollywood and New York are figments of which she retained just the outlines, her unique experience of each would then be transposed into her work.
However, there is one special place, one where a life draws to a close, and one which embraces all the others: Gabrielle Chanel's apartment at 31 rue Cambon, Paris.
Here unfolds the setting for her innermost intrigues.
Here the spirit of places is embodied.
This apartment is a storybook account of her friendships and her loves, broken up and then reconstructed in the same octagonal mirrors - a memento of the impression the church tower at the abbey in Aubazine left - that reflect all the great moments in her life.
It is the place that expresses the intuitive science of Gabrielle Chanel's poetic, imaginary world.
Chinese ballades in the Coromandel screens, old Venetian gold on the walls, Korean glazed stoneware, animals escaped from the forest of Compiègne encounter sacred deer from Japanese temples, the bust of a canon and a virgin from Bourgogne make eyes at Egyptian death masks, bestiaries from the four continents where the lion is king, and then the ears of wheat; so many intimate connections from within her diffracted memory, so many fragments from her continually re-invented biographical journey.
Then, there is that permanent place of thought, a place of endless resonances that unite the great couturière and the books found in her library, and it is needless to say how much the thrum of her reading whispers to her the invisible life of things.
From these she would form her own perspectives.
It is here at 31 rue Cambon that she secretly held communion with the ghostly messages from these clandestine occupants she shared her life with, and where she travelled through the architecture of cities she had never visited or where she dreamt of the landscapes depicted in the books of her library.
It is here, on the other side of a mirror, in a secret place of private fascination that all journeys and all the moments spent, imaginary or real, end up and mingle.
Gabrielle Chanel would know how to intercept these; to unravel and give them a form which would become the spirit of CHANEL reactivated each day under the living light of contemporary creation.


[Closed] What is the trick in this.. pchiological black magic? Why the hell are there videos like this? I don't want hallucinations and this is scary.
Pls tell me this is silly.
Because placebo is powerful in people's mind.
It's so easy to fall for, it's cruel, even if it would only be 1 month of my life. Any christian could be decieved, even tho I know smartas§ christians.
Mew taped his face ready to be judged, sacrificed his job with clear evidences.
There is nothing wrong in trusting people.
can we get a rant/bullsh1t/meme category on this forum so i dont have to look through incredibly pointless posts like this one? thanks.
1 minute to realize you don't care.
I just wanted to see what you think because it kind of annoyed me. Or do you selectively talk to people and if your best friend starts talking BS/doesn't think the same way as you, ok bye see you later? This is not an ambulance forum at all, why are you so grumpy, pls explain.
Something like that would be fun tho.
I guess you wanted to tag moderator, so it doesn't seem like insulting. I hope you wanted to.
So @admin make it even more cringey.

Stroke is a medical emergency and a leading cause of death in the U.S. It occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts or, more commonly, when a blockage develops. Without treatment, cells in the brain quickly begin to die. The result can be serious disability or death.
Sudden numbness or weakness of the body, especially on one side. Sudden vision changes in one or both eyes, or difficulty swallowing. Sudden, severe headache with unknown cause. Sudden problems with dizziness, walking, or balance. Sudden confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding others.
What causes a stroke and what types are there?
A common cause of stroke is atherosclerosis -- hardening of the arteries. Plaque made of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances builds up in the arteries, leaving less space for blood to flow. A blood clot may lodge in this narrow space and cause an ischemic stroke. Atherosclerosis also makes it easier for a clot to form. Hemorrhagic strokes often result from uncontrolled high blood pressure that causes a weakened artery to burst. Certain chronic conditions increase your risk of stroke. These include: High blood pressure, High cholesterol, Diabetes, Obesity.
How long does it take to determine what type of stroke it is?
When someone with stroke symptoms arrives in the ER, the first step is to determine which type of stroke is occurring. There are two main types and they are not treated the same way. A CT scan can help doctors determine whether the symptoms are coming from a blocked blood vessel or a bleeding vessel. Additional tests may also be used to find the location of a blood clot or bleeding within the brain. It can take up to 4 hours to make a proper diagnosis.
When brain cells die due to lack of oxygen, can damage be reversed or mitigated?
The most common type of stroke is known as an ischemic stroke. About 80% of the strokes fall into this category. The culprit is a blood clot that obstructs a blood vessel inside the brain. The clot may develop on the spot or travel through the blood from elsewhere in the body. If your stroke is diagnosed soon enough after the start of symptoms, you may be given a clot-dissolving medicine called tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), which can increase your chances of recovery. You may also receive aspirin or another antiplatelet medicine. In some cases, a procedure may be done to restore blood flow. The doctor uses a thin, flexible tube (catheter) and a tiny cage to remove the blood clot that caused the stroke. It's the diagnoses of the 15% hemorrhagic strokes,that delays treatment. Use of blood thinners in that type of stroke can be fatal.
When a stroke victim is given oxygen, does that mean it gets into the brain where it's needed?
No, the oxygen is delivered by the Red Blood Cells. The red blood cells are blocked by the clot in the case of the majority of ischemic strokes.
Can BXT-25 be administered by emergency medical technicians, and does it deliver oxygen to the brain than a red blood cell?
BXT-25 can be administered by Emergency Medical Technicians. Since the molecule is 1/5000 the size of the red blood cells it can penetrate the blood brain barrier and the clot. The clot will prevent a red blood cell from going through and as a consequence no oxygen is delivered to the blocked part of the brain.
Is BXT-25 a blood thinner, and can it be used in hemmorrhagic strokes?
BXT-25 is not a blood thinner. It can be used also without risk in hemorrhagic strokes.
How quickly to treat a stroke victim have to lessen damage caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain?
For an ischemic stroke, emergency treatment focuses on medicine to restore blood flow. A clot busting drug is highly effective at dissolving clots and minimizing long-term damage, but it must be as soon as possible. Hemorrhagic strokes are more difficult to manage. Treatment usually involves attempting to control high blood pressure, bleeding, and brain swelling.
Can the damage be mitigated after 3-4 hours of not being treated?
Whether a stroke causes long-term damage depends on its severity and how quickly treatment stabilizes the brain. The type of damage depends on where in the brain the stroke occurs. Common problems after a stroke include numbness and/or weakness in the arms or legs, difficulty walking, vision problems, trouble swallowing, and problems with speech and comprehension. These problems can be permanent, but some people regain partially their abilities.
How effective are drugs used in treating strokes?
There are a 1/2 dozen drugs that can be used after the fact of a stroke. None are given during the immediate hours of occurrence, until it is determined what type of stroke it is. None of the currently available drugs deliver oxygen to the brain.
Are there specialists and hospitals that treat stroke victims?
Today, there are more than 640 primary stroke centers certified by The Joint Commission (a private non-profit organization that provides certification programs for health care organizations, including hospitals) operating in 49 states and the District of Columbia, said Jean Range, The Joint Commission executive director of Disease-Specific Care Certification. Stroke, that is an acute situation is treated byEMT's and physicians in the emergency room. However, "stroke specialists" don't exist, because days after the stroke, the patient begins rehabilitative care.
In time and with physical and speech therapy, can a stroke patient get back to normal?
Yes, You Can Fully Recover from Stroke. And it's all about attitude. The key is to overcome the mental obstacles that are holding you back. If you believe in certain limitations to your recovery, then you'relimiting your own success. There are many of stories about stroke survivors who triumphantly recover more of their abilities than their doctors and therapists thought. And, it's because they put their mind to it.
Bioxytran's Tissue Oxygenation Therapy Breaking the Stroke Paradigm
Bioxytran Inc. (BIXT) has a novel drug for stroke patients that can restore the supply of oxygen to the brain. Strokes effects over 900,000 people per year and the indirect costs of stroke due to disability and special services are over $22 billion annually.

Michael Faraday discovered electro-magnetic induction in August 1831.
He proved that electro-magnetism can produce electricity, and along the way he invented the electrical transformer.
Photo of Michael Faraday's original generator apparatus, courtesy of the Royal Institution, where Faraday did his experiments.
Having discovered electro-magnetic induction, Michael Faraday went on to explore its effects. He had discovered that electro-magnetism produces electricity, now he wanted to find out if magnetism and motion combined could do the same.
Faraday had discovered electro-magnetic induction in August 1831. Just a few months later, he successfully conducted the experiment that demonstrated the relationship between magnetism and motion. He passed a magnet in and out of a cylindrical helix wound with wire and showed that electricity was produced.
A tube of any fairly neutral material — cardboard would do — is wound with a coil of copper wire in much the same was as it was for the transformer experiment. That is, the windings do not touch and they are wrapped together with cotton wadding to insulate them.
Passing through the tube is a magnet in the shape of a rod — the one illustrated has a wooden handle for convenience. The dashed grey lines indicate the (invisible) magnetic field of the magnet. They are a scientific convention for showing lines of magnetic action (force lines). All magnets have a magnetic field. The north and south poles of the magnet are also indicated.
Each end of the copper wire is connected to a galvanometer, an instrument that detects current. The wire is now a continuous loop, and if electricity is generated in it, the needle on the galvanometer will move to indicate its presence.
The next diagram shows the experiment in action.
When the magnetic rod is moved backwards and forwards inside the tube, which remains stationery, the needle of the galvanometer leaps into action, registering current. If you substitute a lamp of some sort for the galvanometer, you can use this apparatus to light it up.
As the magnet moves, the lines of magnetic force repeatedly intersect with the wire. This excites the electrons in the wire, generating electrical current.
Faraday's devise is a simple dynamo (dynamo-electric machine) and the first electrical generator. Virtually all electric power is produced using this principle, no matter whether the prime source of energy is coal, oil, gas, nuclear, hydro, wind, etc. The fuels are used to drive a generator (or turbine) which generates the electrical current. For more on large scale power generation, see supplying electricity and an electrical conversation.
The experiment also demonstrated that it was essential for magnetic induction that the conducting circuit must intersect the force lines of the magnet. That is, the wire coil in the experiment had to be inside the magnetic field of the magnetic rod. At the time of the experiment, Farady used the word field in the purely descriptive sense but he went on to explore magnetism further — eventually showing that it is a universal property of matter — and laid the foundations for what we call today electro-magnetic field theory.
The apparatus we used for our illustrations is shown above. It's a recreation of Faraday's device made by the Royal Institution. You can clearly see the magnet, tube and cotton wadding, though the copper wire coil is hidden. The two ends of the coil are joined on the surface of the wadding with small lamps included in the circuit. When the magnet is pushed back and forth, the lamps light up.

One or more treatment modalities may be used to provide you with the most effective treatment. Increasingly, it is common to use several treatment modalities together (concurrently) or in sequence with the goal of preventing recurrence. This is referred to as multi-modality treatment of the cancer.
Surgery is used to diagnose cancer, determine its stage, and to treat cancer. One common type of surgery that may be used to help with diagnosing cancer is a biopsy. A biopsy involves taking a tissue sample from the suspected cancer for examination by a specialist in a laboratory. A biopsy is often performed in the physician's office or in an outpatient surgery center. A positive biopsy indicates the presence of cancer; a negative biopsy may indicate that no cancer is present in the sample.
When surgery is used for treatment, the cancer and some tissue adjacent to the cancer are typically removed. In addition to providing local treatment of the cancer, information gained during surgery is useful in predicting the likelihood of cancer recurrence and whether other treatment modalities will be necessary.
Learn more about chemotherapy treatment and the management of side effects.
Radiation therapy, or radiotherapy, uses high-energy rays to damage or kill cancer cells by preventing them from growing and dividing. Similar to surgery, radiation therapy is a local treatment used to eliminate or eradicate visible tumors. Radiation therapy is not typically useful in eradicating cancer cells that have already spread to other parts of the body. Radiation therapy may be externally or internally delivered. External radiation delivers high-energy rays directly to the tumor site from a machine outside the body. Internal radiation, or brachytherapy, involves the implantation of a small amount of radioactive material in or near the cancer. Radiation may be used to cure or control cancer, or to ease some of the symptoms caused by cancer. Sometimes radiation is used with other types of cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy and surgery, and sometimes it is used alone.
For more information, go to Radiation Therapy.
Hormones are naturally occurring substances in the body that stimulate the growth of hormone sensitive tissues, such as the breast or prostate gland. When cancer arises in breast or prostate tissue, its growth and spread may be caused by the body's own hormones. Therefore, drugs that block hormone production or change the way hormones work, and/or removal of organs that secrete hormones, such as the ovaries or testicles, are ways of fighting cancer. Hormone therapy, similar to chemotherapy, is a systemic treatment in that it may affect cancer cells throughout the body.
Biological therapy is referred to by many terms, including immunologic therapy, immunotherapy, or biotherapy. Biological therapy is a type of treatment that uses the body's immune system to facilitate the killing of cancer cells. Types of biological therapy include interferon, interleukin, monoclonal antibodies, colony stimulating factors (cytokines), and vaccines.
High-dose chemotherapy (HDC) and bone marrow or blood stem cell transplantation (SCT) is the best treatment available for many kinds of cancer. The SCT procedure was developed over 40 years ago and was considered such a major development of biomedical science that the individuals responsible were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1989. Stem cell transplant may use super high doses of chemotherapy or harness the immune system to treat the cancer.
For more information go to Stem Cell Transplantation.
There is no longer a "one-size-fits-all" approach to cancer treatment. Even among patients with the same type of cancer, the behavior of the cancer and its response to treatment can vary widely. By exploring the reasons for this variation, researchers have begun to pave the way for more precise and personalized cancer treatment. It is becoming increasingly clear that specific characteristics of cancer cells and cancer patients can have a profound impact on prognosis and treatment outcome. Although factoring these characteristics into treatment decisions makes cancer care more complex, it also offers the promise of improved outcomes.
Precision cancer medicine utilizes molecular diagnostic testing, including DNA sequencing, to identify cancer-driving abnormalities in a cancer's genome. By defining the consequences of these genetic abnormalities doctors can identify specific treatments directed against each genetic abnormality for each individual patient's unique DNA profile.
Once a genetic abnormality is identified, a specific targeted therapy can be designed to attack a specific mutation or other cancer-related change in the DNA programming of cells. Standard chemotherapy typically destroys both normal and cancerous rapidly dividing cells in a wide range of tissues, often causing side effects by damaging normal cells. Precision cancer medicine uses targeted therapies engineered to directly attack the cancer cells with specific abnormalities, leaving normal cells largely unharmed.

President Barack Obama retains strong personal appeal even as his overall job approval rating has weakened.
An overwhelming number of Americans — 75 percent — say they give President Obama a thumbs up regarding approval of him as a person, according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released on Wednesday.
CNN notes that "Obama's strength remains his personal appeal" and adds that a "plurality of Republicans" also like him personally, though their positive views of the president are apparently trumped by economic jitters.
"Obama's approval among Republicans spiked after bin Laden's death, and no one expected it to stay that high for another 18 months. But the White House is probably worried more about the much smaller drops among independents and even Democrats. Those shifts are likely due to concerns about the economy, particularly unemployment," adds the CNN pollster.
In the new survey, only 48 percent of respondents say they approve of how Obama is handling his job, down 6 points from late May, while 48 percent say they disapprove, up 3 points from late last month.
Considering economic worries, including unemployment, gasoline prices, and the federal deficit, Obama's poll numbers appear strong compared to previous presidents during bad times.
Presidents Reagan and Clinton, both viewed highly favorable in polls today, hit approval lows of 35 and 37 percent, respectively, during their presidencies.
President George W. Bush left the White House with an approval rating of just 22 percent, among the lowest for any president since polls have been conducted scientifically.

Regardless, it is interesting to note that both performers opt not to depend solely on music to carry their show.
One clever combination of music and imagery was Lambert's fun delivery of the Beatles' "Get Back," which inspired her to go back in time and display photos of herself and band members as very young musicians, at the same time letting fans see where they grew up.
Then again, Bentley kept his head covered with a gimme cap, worn backward, during much of the show, explaining toward the end that he'd cut his hair.
He laughingly poked fun at himself by saying, "The girls always did like the curls," then shared a series of past photos of himself.
Actually, Bentley has made several supporting appearances in Lubbock, but Thursday's may be his most entertaining - certainly his most polished, to date.
Fans very rarely disappointed him.
He also made more friends by choosing a high-spirited woman from the audience to join him on stage. She appeared to be having the time of her life pretending to play guitar.
Bentley still has his drinking songs, and songs in which he emphasizes leaving as much as loving.
An older, more experienced Bentley has harder hitting songs that work for obvious reasons. His encore was delayed until after Lambert's set for good reason; his own set concluded with him transforming "Home" into an even more patriotic tune, complete with the stars and stripes being unfurled on a large screen behind the stage.
Even so, Bentley's most impressive song was "I Hold On." Co-written by Bentley and Brett James, the vocal was strong and Bentleys mention of certain inanimate objects opened a door to appreciation of family and faith, love and freedom.
Jukebox Mafia entertained on the opposite side of the arena while roadies traded Bentley's set for that of Miranda Lambert. No matter how much she may like the color pink, fans still tend to think of Lambert as one of country music's more sassy and feisty entertainers.
True, she thanked the entire audience for spending their hard-earned money on a country music show, and earned smiles by humbly recalling days when she would sing into her hairbrush and dream.
Wearing dark boots, maroon pants and a black tank top sporting the phrase, "It's not my first rodeo," Lambert obviously enjoyed her trips down memory lane.
And songs just kept improving until she shared her wonderful "The House That Built Me," which finds her looking for strength in her past.
Meanwhile, she could not let Thursday's show go on without letting fans know that she is quite aware of ongoing gossip about her marriage to fellow country recording artist Blake Shelton.
And yes, she also is aware that members of a certain church (Westboro Baptist), regarded by many as a hate group, had been "protesting against me."
Then again, perhaps Lambert's fans were not so shocked.
After all, she also introduced "Gunpowder and Lead" by saying that she wrote the song to remind everyone that men are not supposed to hit women - and was greeted with cheers..
Like Bentley, Lambert ended her set on an energetic high note.
However, the concert as a whole would send everyone home smiling, primarily because Lambert and Bentley delivered a combined encore.
They first would sing "Texas Tornado" as a duet and then, after inviting their own respective bands and any other lingering musicians to return to the stage, all inspired more interaction via a lovely resurrection of Roger Miller's 1964 pop classic "King of the Road."

I fell in love with Fairuza Balk in high school when I first saw the movie The Craft. Her portrayal of Nancy Downs is truly the reason I continue to love that movie even now in my 30's. Watching Nancy on the screen I always wanted to be her friend and hang out with her despite the consequences. So in other words the moral of the movie went right out the window for me ha ha ha. I also would've loved to go shopping with her so I could own every piece of her wardrobe (well….besides the "I'm Flying" hospital gown and arm and leg restraints ha ha).
I have always been drawn (no pun intended) to Fairuza because she isn't like all the other actresses out there. First off her name is incredibly cool, she is a unique beauty (my god..those eyes!) and she tends to always get the edgier roles that I like. On top of being a very talented actress she is also a musician and an artist as well!
Fairuza has been on my art bucket list for as long as I can remember. But I can finally cross her off now. I just finished a new split face portrait inspired by Fairuza as Nancy.
I present to you " I Bind You Nancy"……….
It was done in pencil and charcoals. The right side is the witchy goth every day Nancy and the left side is the crazy ward "I'm flying" Nancy. I hope one day Fairuza decides to grace us fans with her presence here in Chicago. If she does I plan to give her the original. But for my fellow fans of Fairuza, Nancy and/or The Craft I have both prints and tshirts available in my Etsy shop!

Q: (winapi) Is there a way to change the Scale of a Bitmap using the TransparentBlt function? I am making my first game with winapi.
While developing the game, I wanted to load and use a Bitmap image, so I used the TransparentBlt function.
I succeeded in displaying the bitmap image on the screen, but I am not sure how to adjust the scale.
TransparentBlt(_dc
        , (int)(vPos.x - (float)(Width / 2))
        , (int)(vPos.y - (float)(Height / 2))
        , Width, Height
        , m_pImage->GetDC()
        , 0, 0, Width, Height
        , RGB(255, 0, 255));

What should I do to adjust the scale in the code above?

A: Scale can be adjusted by multiplying the values of the parameters wDest and hDest of the TransparentBlt() function.
There is also a way to solve it using the BitBlt() function. Similarly, the BitBlt() function can be scaled by multiplying by a value. If it still doesn't work, please leave a comment.


An off-duty Baltimore County police officer shot and killed a shoplifting suspect in the parking lot of a Maryland grocery store, authorities said.
The officer, whose identity has not been released, was working a second job as a security guard for the Giant Food store just before 4 a.m. Tuesday when he learned someone was attempting to steal from the grocery, WBAL reported.
The unidentified suspect got into the driver's seat of a car as the officer confronted him in the store's parking lot, located at Rolling Road and Route 40 in Cantonsville.
When the man drove off, the officer was dragged by the vehicle for more than 100 feet. Fearing for his life, the guard fired as he was being pulled by the car and fatally struck the driver.
The suspect, who died on the scene, had been attempting to steal laundry detergent, according to the Baltimore Sun. A second person who was sitting in the passenger seat during the ordeal was hospitalized for stress related pain, police spokeswoman Officer Jennifer Peach said.
The officer was not injured, she told the newspaper, adding she did not know the races of the men involved.
County Councilman Tom Quirk called the fatal incident "unfortunate," and said he was relieved the officer was not injured.
"We're a very safe community," he told the Sun. "Bad things sometimes happen in good places."
Homicide detectives are looking for possible surveillance footage as they continue to investigate the fatal incident.

NHRA Regional Drag Racing revs it up at Heartland Motorsports Park
by: James Ryan
TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) – Heartland Motorsports Park is imposing new rules due to the coronavirus pandemic as drag racers from across the country head to Topeka. Heartland is hosting the NHRA Lucas Oil Event 5-2 and 5-3 Double Header Thursday through Sunday.
Park officials have switched up the registration process to make it more "touch-less". There are also hand-washing stations and signs reminding people to social distance.
Track Manager Travis Hilton said they have blocked off certain areas of the park and spread drivers out to help with social distancing.
"Every racer here is hand parked," Hilton said "We have somebody go around and show them where to park. We have purposely spread everyone out as far as we possibly could across our 800 acres to make sure nobody is encroaching on anyone else."
Both NHRA and Shawnee County have mask rules that Heartland is following. Signs are located across the park, reminding people to wear a mask when they cannot social distance. Hilton said they are also requiring drivers to wear masks at the starting line.
Don O'Neal is one of the hundreds of drivers in town for this event. He is a retired Army veteran who drove more than seven hours from his home in Indiana to race at Heartland.
"It's like anything else," O'Neal said. "You do it for the people and the enjoyment. I can't see myself doing anything else other than drag racing."
O'Neal said he grew up racing with his family in North Carolina and first competed at Heartland in 2008. This weekend he's competing for his wife Di who is battling cancer. He is wearing a mask that says #DoItForDi.
Drivers will run trials and qualifying rounds on Thursday and Saturday. The elimination rounds are Friday and Sunday.

Raven-Symoné's Been Very Controversial Recently
AFP/AFP/Getty Images
By Jaclyn Anglis
Raven-Symoné is ready to fill a new seat. The actress, who has been a television star even since she was a child with her part on The Cosby Show, has a new role on TV. Raven-Symoné has been named a permanent co-host on The View. Honestly, the announcement is not all that surprising, but it does have the potential to be controversial.
It had long been rumored that the Disney alum would be offered the position. She's certainly made a fair share of guest co-host appearances on the talk show, weighing in on some of the major news and entertainment stories of the day with Whoopi Goldberg and company. As former moderator Barbara Walters put it, "She is happy, amusing and well-informed, and has already brought a unique perspective to the program that has resonated with our audience."
That being said, Raven-Symoné has also brought a fair share of controversy along with her over the past year or so — and not just on The View. From her infamous comments to Oprah Winfrey about considering herself "colorless" to her public displeasure with the idea of Harriet Tubman being on the $20 bill, it seems like she can't seem to stay out of trouble with her comments.
Put Some Pants On, Beyoncé
FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP/Getty Images
Did no one warn Raven about the BeyHive? The actress stirred the honey pot when she chimed in on Mike Huckabee's criticism of Beyoncé's sexy image on The View, saying, "I just need somebody to put some pants on when people are performing nowadays." Raven said she is not "on" Bey specifically, but female pop stars in general. She then said, "I think there does need to be some class in the female pop world." Sting!
Harriet Tubman $20 Bill
While guest co-hosting on The View, she weighed in on the Women on 20s mission to put a woman on the $20 bill after the organization announced Harriet Tubman was one of the finalists. Raven-Symoné's thoughts? "I don't like it," she said. She explained that she would have chosen Rosa Parks, since she "is closer to the progression that we're doing now." Unsurprisingly, people were not happy.
Defending "Ape" Comments
On The View, the 29-year-old got herself into some hot water when she chimed in with her opinion of a Univision host being fired for saying that First Lady Michelle Obama looked like she was from Planet of the Apes. While many condemned the comments as racist, Raven-Symoné said, "Was he saying it racist-like? Because he said that he voted for her later and I don't think he was saying it racist." She followed up her comments by adding, "Some people look like animals," she said. "I look like a bird! So can I be mad if somebody calls me Toucan Sam?" Obviously, this did not help her case.
Rejecting Race & Sexual Orientation Labels
In perhaps her most infamous controversy, Raven-Symoné told Oprah that she did not want to be labeled as "gay," despite being in a relationship with another woman, or as "African-American," despite having roots in African countries. She upped the ante by calling herself a "colorless person," and as Oprah accurately predicted, Twitter was set on fire.
Slamming Other Child Stars
Though this controversy would be overshadowed by the "colorless" self-description used in the same interview, she did draw a few headlines for throwing some not-so-subtle shade at other child stars who became tabloid fixtures. She said, "It's unnecessary to go to the most popular restaurant in the world when you have a scandal on your head, and then get mad that someone's going to take a picture of you. That's your fault, boo-boo. Stay in the house."
Every Continent In Africa
Raven-Symoné attempted to clarify the comments she made about her race by explaining that she never said she "wasn't black," but that she was trying to say she was not African-American. "Thank you to ancestry.com for sending me my DNA test," she started. "I am from every continent in Africa except for one and I'm also from every continent in Europe except for one," she said, without correcting herself. Obviously, this only furthered confusion about her earlier comments, rather than clearing them up.
It will be interesting to see what voice Raven-Symoné will bring as a permanent guest host, and if she will continue to be this controversial. Rest assured, the show will not be boring. Stay tuned.


Huddersfield Town's Under-19 side is in action against Rochdale on Wednesday 10 October and the game will be available for free, live on #HTTV!
Mark Hudson's Under-19 players will take on Rochdale at PPG Canalside; kicking off at 1pm, the game can be viewed on youtube.com/officialhtafc, courtesy of Proper Sport.
You can follow live text updates from the game on the Club's official Academy account on Twitter - @htafcacademy.
18-year-old defender Harry Spratt has impressed in recent weeks, and has explained the players are relishing the chance to play against Rochdale this weekend.
The left-sided centre-back joined Town in April 2018 from Manchester United – a club he'd been at since he was eight years old.
He explained to #HTTV why he decided to move to the Terriers and how more game time has helped progress his development.
"I spoke to Leigh (Bromby) and he told me the changes the Club was making, and it sounded really interesting. It was something I wanted to be part of.
Alongside the move from Manchester, Harry has had to adapt to a new role, and a different style of play, he explains how he takes a lot from the Club's coaching staff.
"I played left-back a lot at Manchester United, but since I've come here I've been more of a centre-back and that's where Mark Hudson sees me; I've enjoyed it, it's been good.
In the bespoke games programme, the Under-19s have faced a number of different sides ranging from Conwy Borough to Bayern Munich.
Harry explained how the challenges he faces match by match will aid his progression.
"We've had lots of different experiences; we've been playing non-league teams against men playing senior football.
"We've been to Portugal as well, playing against more technical players. The experience of going over there, staying in a hotel, it had a different feel to it.
"The Braga-type of players we played were more technical and better on the ball. We are facing different styles of play.

Welcome to the Construction Code Division The Construction Code Office is responsible for issuing building, plumbing, electrical, fire and mechanical permits, and inspecting that work for compliance with the NJ adopted construction codes. We do this for the health, safety and welfare of the citizens and summer visitors of Ocean City.
Our frequently requested forms shown below can be downloaded and printed. There is a search box above for your convenience. Please feel free to contact the Construction Code Office with any questions you may have.
Often I am asked questions such as "who would you recommend I have do the work" or "Is this contractor OK". These questions place my staff and I in a very difficult situation. We are unable to recommend or guide consumers in their choice of contractors. We all feel obligated to serve the residents of Ocean City to the best of our ability. However our legal obligation as Licensed Code Enforcement professionals does not allow us to give the answers that you would like to hear.
The same holds true for contractor / consumer disputes. My staff and I are sometimes asked to take sides and mediate in disputes between parties. Our position is constant; if the work is in compliance with the code we cannot become involved. Legal code compliance, contractual obligations and purchaser expectations may vastly differ. These matters are civil in nature and should be handled accordingly.
The bottom line is BUYER BEWARE. You need to do your homework before you have work done in your home. Take steps to prevent being misled or deceived, select a contractor whom you can trust with your most valuable asset.
Here is list of things you should investigate prior to entering into an agreement with a contractor. Keep it for future reference.
Do not allow the contractor to start any work before a construction permit has been issued and is on the job site. If the contractor is willing to work without a permit he or she has something to hide. Obtaining permits is the legal responsibility of the homeowner. Failure to obtain a permit is subject to a penalty of $2000. Most of the time a contractor will work with you to obtain the permits.
You may be able to obtain additional information from the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs regarding Home Improvement Practices.
A phone call or email could save you $2000. That's right just a phone call or an email. Prior to beginning a "simple" home improvement project, a phone call to the Construction Code Office can save you a penalty for performing work without a permit.
Penalties for working without permits are mandatory under the NJ Uniform Construction Code and can be assessed for up to $2000.
How do you get caught? Typically work done without permits comes up during a home inspection or a disclosure prior to a property transaction. The Code Office may also receive a phone call from your neighbor.
Replacing a light fixture without installing new wiring.
Replacing a plumbing fixture without installing new piping.
So save yourself a costly penalty and probability of removing the work for inspections and contact us first.
How do I obtain a Construction Permit application?
You can download the forms here (above), pick up the forms in person, or call us and we can mail you the forms.
How do I know how much a permit cost?
Permit fees calculated based on the Municipal Fee Ordinance once the permit has been reviewed and approved. Permit fees vary depending on the type of work you'll be performing. Permit fees are paid by check to City of Ocean City.
How do I know what hours inspections are made?
How and when do I schedule an inspection?
Call the Construction Code Office a minimum of two days ahead of the day you'd like the inspection. Be sure to have your construction permit number ready when you call. Inspections will be performed within 3 business days of when it was requested.
How do I know if I need a permit to replace railings, replace a roof, or install siding?
Is a permit is required?
roofing and siding? A permit may be required due to recent changes to the UCC. Please contact the office for further information.
replacement windows or doors? No permit is required for replacement windows or doors as long as the new windows or doors are exact replacements. If the window or door opening size or window type (double hung, casement, etc.) is changed, a permit is required.
install a storage shed? A construction permit is not required for a storage shed unless it is 100 square feet or more in size.
permit for a fence? If the fence is not used as a pool enclosure, and is not over 6 feet tall, then no construction permit is required. If the fence is used as a pool enclosure or if it will be over 6 feet tall, then a construction permit is required.
interior work? A permit may be required for interior work. There are several variables that help determine if it is needed. It is best to contact the Construction Code Office with details of your proposed work.
Am I required to use an Ocean City contractor to perform my work?

Great Western Announces Major Changes to Drilling Plans at Pace Site in Windsor
October 7, 2015 –Great Western Oil and Gas Company is revising the drilling plan for its operations in Windsor to allow all wells initially planned for the Pace property west of CR 13 to be relocated to nearby sites owned by area developer Martin Lind.
The re-siting of the well locations became possible over the course of more than one year of discussions with local government officials and other stakeholders. The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) and its Director Matt Lepore played a significant role in bringing this new plan to fruition.
Great Western has secured surface use agreements for two different sites located in section 30, approximately one mile east of the Pace pad.
"This new plan does not come without added costs, but it still allows us to access the Pace family's minerals without putting any wells on the Pace property," said Great Western CEO Rich Frommer. "Most importantly, this new proposal is in line with what the residents, the Town of Windsor, and the state have asked us to accomplish – making it a win all around. As we've said all along, the process works."
Windsor Mayor John Vasquez expressed his appreciation for Great Western's efforts in engaging the community and finding a workable solution for all parties.
"The new plan from Great Western shows that our local process works. All stakeholders had a voice and were heard. Together, we found a solution that allows Great Western to operate in Windsor but minimizes the impact on local residents and allows the Paces access to their mineral rights," said Vasquez.
"We are very pleased with this outcome and applaud Great Western's, Windsor's, and the landowner's commitment to working cooperatively to find a solution," said Matt Lepore, Director of the COGCC. "This process illustrates the potential for positive results when industry and communities work together."
Lind also praised the deal.
"The residents of Windsor recognize the tremendous value of the oil and gas industry, however, their quality of life has to come first. Collectively, Windsor triumphs on this agreement for both quality of life and community greater good. My companies and staff have worked tirelessly over the last year with Great Western, the town of Windsor staff and Matt Lepore at COGCC to find the balance that allows Windsor to again be the leader in urban energy development. In that time, Great Western made significant concessions to assure the new locations are harmonious with the golf and surrounding natural areas. Once production begins, these locations will pleasantly blend with the beautiful landscapes of RainDance National Golf Club," said Lind.
Windsor Neighbors for Responsible Drilling (WNRD) indicated their pleasure with the outcome. "We are very pleased the oil and gas drilling proposed for the Pace property will be moved away from all neighborhoods. This will protect our families, while allowing Great Western to drill for their oil and gas resources," said Earl Pittman, with WNRD. "We are equally pleased to be part of a cooperative process involving the Town of Windsor, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, Great Western Oil and Gas, Martin Lind and Windsor Neighbors for Responsible Drilling. The process used successfully in Windsor can become a model for Colorado, where local governments actively work with the state, the oil and gas operator and neighboring landowners to find optimal drilling sites that preserve our neighborhoods while allowing the recovery of oil and gas."
Frommer emphasized that conditions and alterations made in the site plan reflect Great Western's commitment to meeting local community needs, but are also unique to the Pace location. "We must approach each individual project in a distinct way," he said. "We had made considerable changes to our practices to meet neighborhood concerns prior to the re-siting plan. While we were able to reach a great compromise in this situation, every future drilling area is unique in regards to available surface locations and geological and engineering capabilities. We certainly hope to move forward with the support of all those involved."
