Alan was born in Abingdon, Pennsylvania and grew up in North East Philadelphia, attending private schools in Yardley and Philadelphia. His family moved to Matthews, North Carolina where he graduated from David W. Butler High School, as a North Carolina Academic Scholar. After graduation, he went to Appalachian State University, maintaining a GPA above 3.3 and earning the ASU Local Government Alumni Scholarship my sophomore year.
After College, Alan accepted a position in the North Carolina Legislature, serving as the legislative aide to the State House member who represented District 103. During that time, his roots in the district grew even deeper, with relationships built with dozens of elected officials, town staff, precinct officials, and the general public. During the near two years he served in the State House, Alan addressed hundreds of citizen complaints and constituent service requests. He quickly learned that the wheels of progress do in fact turn quite slowly, and that he wanted to affect change by serving the citizens of House District 103 as their Representative.
From a young age, Alan knew he had a calling to public service. While barely a high school student, he began his involvement on campaigns and worked as an intern for the State Treasurer. Throughout high school and beyond, Alan assumed numerous leadership roles within the Republican Party, including chairman of the Teenage Republicans of Mecklenburg County, Campus Director and later Chairman of the Appalachian State University College Republicans, Regional Director of the North Carolina Young Republicans and Vice-Chairman of the Mecklenburg Young Republicans. He was also tapped to serve as campaign chairman for the Mecklenburg County Republican Party and is a voting member of the State Republican Party's Executive Committee. Within a week of turning 18 and registering to vote, Alan was appointed to his first government advisory board. He served on the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council and was later appointed by the Mecklenburg County Commission by a 9-0 vote to serve an additional two year term. He also served terms on the City of Charlotte's Neighborhood Matching Grants Review Team as well as on the Board of Directors for Kids Voting-Mecklenburg.
Besides serving in the Legislature, Alan joined his family Real Estate Firm and became a licensed Real Estate Broker. He also holds a Notary Public license for the State of North Carolina and has done consulting for various Republican candidates across North Carolina.
On September 25, 2007, Alan Teitleman announced that he would seek the Republican nomination for the 103rd House Seat in the North Carolina General Assembly. That seat, which has been held by Jim Gulley since 1996, encompasses the towns of Matthews and Mint Hill, as well as parts of East Charlotte in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. His campaign website is located at: www.Alan08.com
The first unconventional superconductor composed of organic material, was discovered by Bechgaard and Denis Jerome in 1979. This discovery garnered attention in the international scientific community, and for a period he was one of the most quoted scientists in the field of natural sciences. He also recieved a nomination for the Nobel Prize in chemistry for this discovery.
Research
Klaus Bechgaard did research at the University of Copenhagen, where he also held a Professorship in organic chemistry until 1993. From 1993 until 2000 he was the chairman of the Department of Physics and Chemistry at Risø and in 2001 he was appointed head of the newly assigned Department of Polymer Research at Risø. From 2001 and onwards he has been the head of Risø's nano technology programme, and The Danish Center of Polymers which is a joint venture between the Technical University of Copenhagen and Risø.

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog is the caption of a famous The New Yorker cartoon published on 5 July1993 and authored by Peter Steiner.[1][2][3][4] The cartoon shows two dogs, one sitting on a chair in front of a computer speaking the caption to a second dog sitting on the floor[5]
The cartoon symbolizes an understanding of the internet that stresses the ability of users to send and receive messages in general obscurity,[2] despite how little anonymity the internet actually provides.[2]
As of 2000, the panel was the most reproduced cartoon from The New Yorker.[6] It has been called an adage.[6]

Ryan Naumenko (AKA BiG TEK). Born 13th April 1983, Moe, Victoria, Australia.
Ryan Naumenko, was born April 13th 1983 to a european family in the small country town of Moe, Victoria, Australia.
Beginning life as someone who got pushed around at school, Naumenko, soon developed a circle of friends in Melbourne (2 hours away) to start gaining power and respect. His criminal career started at the age of 15. He began by selling stolen computers, game consoles, various weapons and new release CDs to the school community. He quickly grew from somebody who was disrespected to someone with alot more influence.
Once school had been completed (I beleive year 12 or so), he began work as a co-manager of a nightclub in his home town, Moe. The owners of the club were associated with various Melbourne street crews and were known mafioso. Manager and friend Tony Ambesi at the time was known for narcotics distribution, another person known only as "Zladi" (Zlatko Besic) controlled the sales of Speed, Ecstasy and Marijuana from Noble Park to Traralgon, both places in Victoria about 2 hours apart.
Naumenko saw this as a chance to open a door to something different, and so he began associating with the Melbourne underworld.
In 2005, Naumenko, was arrested and charged by the Embona Taskforce, a group of various skilled detectives set up to inflitrate the money laundering ring (scam) he was involved in. They approached him as he pulled up in his sky blue Mercedes Benz and proceeded to draw weapons upon him to force him out of the car.
The "Herald Sun", a major Melbourne newspaper, published a story about 1 month after the arrest, read the story here. Naumenko claimed in court to have never spoken to the Herald Sun about what happened and claims to this day the Herald Sun had no authority to publish the story as it made him out to be a "rat".
Naumenko, is now the CEO of independant record label "XXL Records Australia". He began this label from his own funds and is currently a major supporter in the fight to get kids off the street. It seemed for a while that Naumenko was changing his life, until recent incidents occured.
XXL has been under the close watch by many other small labels in the game, and Naumenko has been accused of funelling illegal funds through the label and donating it to various charities in the name of XXL Recordings. Also known in the hiphop circle as "BiG TEK", it is vary rare to see him at any clubs without undercover armed securuity guards hired from a major international security company to protect him from people in the hiphop community. As well as professional security guards he is regularly seen with two Melbourne and New York underworld figures, being good friend Dominic "Mimi" Scialo and the other Christopher Liberatore. Both associates are involved deeply in the "Columbo Crime Family" based in New York. Naumenko is also an "Australian Soldier" for the afore mentioned crime family, and therefore answers to Thomas "Tommy Shots" Gioeli if called upon.
Naumenko, has now hired "high class" gangland lawyer, Zarah Garde-Wilson to represent him in upcomming court cases. Garde-Wilson has acted for underworld figures Carl Williams and also Tony (Antonias) Mokbel and has recently appeared in Australias "GQ" Magzaine. It is unclear if Naumenko is involved with either person (Mokbel or Williams).
Mr. Naumenko continues to be a player in the underworld, he is very intelligent and very rarely will slip up. He has been arrested and charge 16 time to date, and has not served on day of jail time.

Irish Ghetto Milan
The Irish Ghetto Milan is a small area in the Navigli district of South Central Milan which is home to Milan's greatest concentration of 'Italo-Irlandese' immigrants.
The heart of the Irish Ghetto in Milan encompasses the streets 'Via Vigevano' and 'Via Corsico', the latter being home to the infamous 'Casa Irlandese'. The bespoke 'Casa Irlandese' has been notably referred to in works of Italo Svevo and James Joyce who brought the Casa to life, scribing it as 'the durtiest of ghettos with the durtiest of burds to ever have set foot in the 'bel paese'. Today the 'Casa Irlandese' retains the memories of times past with its dilapidated interior and undesirable tenants, the majority of whom are female. Despite the rough character of the 'Casa Irlandese', the dwellers keep a relatively low key profile, living in peace with the neighbouring Roma and Crusty Communities - none of which wish to attract the attention of the ever vigilant Vigilanza Città di Milano authority.
Although life can be tough in the Irish Ghetto Milan, its residents maintain their own ways of escaping from the day to day reminders of their truly depressing and futile existence. The inhabitants of the 'Casa Irlandese' are easily spotted drowning their sorrows alongside their Italian down-and-out counterparts in 'Bradipo', a shady watering hole on Via Vigevano which is renowned for serving a ferosciously potent Negroni Sbagliato. One of the Italo-Irlandese, who has requested to remain anonymous for legal reasons, devotes much of his free time to egg-chasing, an up and coming adventure sport in italy which originates from the fields of Rathmines and Ranelagh in Ireland. Also worthy of note is the 'Irish Cenacolo'or 'Irish Last Supper' which derives its name from the occasion on which it is held, the last Sunday of the month that is. The 'Irish Cenacolo' is, however, an endangered event with growing competetion from the attractive Senegalese and Navigli Markets, where local sellers display antique furniture, mini tricycles and other categories of bric-a-brac.
Despite its long reigning tenure in the Navigli area, the Irish Ghetto is, however, entering an uncertain period in its history with many of it chief founders rumoured to be planning their return to Ireland within the coming 12 months. The legacy of the Irish Ghetto Navigli will, no doubt, live on; in the form of the annual Navigli St. Patrick’s Day Parade and quarterly art exhibitions at the Pinacoteca di Brera.

Steve Yetman is a notbale geographer, specialising in physical geography.
He is also Admiral Supreme of the RGS Naval Fleet, and a hugely inspiring charcter, always ready and willing to lead his troops into battle, in the name of his country and establishment.
He is a pragmatic charcter, possibly even an anachronism, being ahead of his time in both political stance and teaching methods. Particular favourites include the A3 fact sheet on case studies like the Bangladesh Floods and the Epping Forest Management Schemes.
He has, however, not always been a geographer. Some of his jobs include a barman, accountant and chalet boy. He is known to be a keen skier and runs the Ski Race Team in his spare time.
He regularly visits his parents in Guernsey.
His marital status is unknown at the moment.
Most of all he is an inspiration to all the RGS Naval Cadets and to his students. A truly great man.

Oglethorpe Speedway
Oglethorpe Speedway Park celebrates it's 55th Anniversary in 2006. The half mile speedway has entertained race fans since March of 1951 when championship motorcycle racing debuted in Savannah. The first stock car race took place at the historic half mile in May of 1951. Johnnie Parsons was the first winner. Parsons was the defending Indy 500 winner that year.
The half mile clay speedway hosted the NASCAR Grand National Series (today's Nextel Cup Series) in March of 1954 and 1955. The winner of the race on March 28, 1954 was Al Keller in a 1954 Hudson. Keller won $1000 for winning the 200-lap race while Buck Baker took home $650 for finishing in second place. The Flock brothers (Fonty and Bob) each won $25 for finishing 11th and 12th.
The other NASCAR Grand National race was held on March 6, 1955 and was won by Lee Petty. His son, Richard Petty, signed in as a crew member that day. Herb Thomas competed that day along with Curtis Turner, Junior Johnson and Buck Baker.
Many of today's most recognized racers have turned laps at Savannah's famous speedplant. Former NASCAR Winston Cup champions Ned Jarrett, Glenn "Fireball" Roberts, David Pearson, Joe Weatherly, Buddy Baker, Dale Earnhardt and Speedy Thompson have competed at Oglethorpe Speedway Park.
Current owner, Emory Stone, purchased the speedway in 1977. Since then, Oglethorpe Speedway Park has led the way for many tracks in the area. Stone was the first promoter to offer dirt racers a purse of over $45,000. He was also the first dirt track to sign on with the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series in 1984. Finally, through Stone's guidance the Enduro Series was born. This affordable division of racing took the short track industry to new levels. Many races had over 125 competitors racing for 150 to 300 laps with purses as high as $10,000 to win.
In 1984, Oglethorpe Speedway Park re-entered the NASCAR record books. Oglethorpe Speedway Late Model champion David Into became the first national champion for NASCAR's short track series. Into took home a $25,000 pay day for his 1984 efforts.
Oglethorpe Speedway Park developed a number of drivers through it's weekly racing program. David Into dominated the Late Model scene winning an unprecedented ten track titles between 1984 and 1994. The only driver to knock Into out of the title spot was Robert Elliott in 1987. Since that time, "Flying" Brian Turner (1995), Donnie Bazemore (1996 & 1997), Hal McGraw (1998), Kent Strickland (1999 & 2000), Bobby Oglesby (2001, 2002 & 2003), Bobby Morris (2004) and this past season (2005) 20-year-old Robert Diekemper became the youngest driver to have captured the prestigious Late Model crown at OSP.
In 2005, OSP entertained over 600 competitors. Many of the stars of tomorrow cut their teeth at the speedway in February during the first ever Coca-Cola Young Guns Shoot-Out. Bodine Massengill and Zack VanDerbeek claimed the honors for late models and modifieds. The trend of younger drivers continued in the regular season as over a dozen drivers under the age of twenty competed on a weekly basis at OSP. The future is bright for OSP race fans!
The historic half mile speedway has sprouted careers and entertained hundreds of drivers for the past half century in the Late Models, Street Stocks, Hobby Stocks, Mini Stocks, Pure Stocks, Go Karts, Enduro Series, Powder Puff, 440 Series and Queen Bees.

Casey-Lee made her television debut at the tender age of nine years old singing and dancing her way into the final on Saturday superstore search for a superstar (BBC). After winning numerous British, English and World Championship titles in ballet, tap, modern and disco dancing Casey-Lee was asked to partner that late Roy Castle in a tap dancing duet at the Children’s Royal Variety Show in front of Princess Margaret. To date no one has ever won all three British dance Championships in ballet, tap and modern dancing and retained them for more than three consecutive years.
Nippon Television in TokyoJapan invited Casey-Lee to appear in a program featuring talented children from around the world which was an incredible experience at nine years of age.
Having got the chance to co-host the Saturday morning program It’s Wicked (BBC) she caught the bug of presenting live television and later went on to present channel 5’s Milkshake for two years.
Casey-Lee appeared in the children’s drama series Gruey (BBC) followed by Gruey Twoey playing the part of Annie Mappin.
After completing her “A” levels Casey-Lee performed in the West End hit musicals Starlight Express and Miss Saigon. She also starred in many pantomimes up and down the country, Aladdin Lowry Theatre Salford (Princess Jasmine), Peter Pan Palace Theatre Mansfield (Tinkerbell), Dick Whittington Theatre Royal Plymouth and New Theatre Cardiff (Alice Fitzwarren), Jack and the Beanstalk New Wimbledon Theatre London (Princess Apricot), Cinderella Palace Theatre Mansfield (Cinderella) and Aladdin Theatre Royal Glasgow (Princess Jasmine).
Casey-Lee stared in the popular children’s series Beachcomber Bay for Channel 5 and due to its overwhelming success filmed it for three years.
When Coronation Street (ITV Granada) asked Casey-Lee to play the part of Orchid/Stacey she was thrilled and won a Heritage Award for her performance in this role.
Since working together with Bobby Ball in Pantomime at The Theatre Royal Cardiff in Wales it became their joint ambition to open an Academy incorporating all forms of Dance, Drama, Singing and Comedy and in 2007 this dream became reality with the opening of The Casey-Lee Jolleys Academy of Dance & Drama in Bolton, Lancashire.
Casey-Lee is proud to be starring in pantomime in Preston this year (2007) and what makes it extra special is that the babes will be children from her own Academy of Dance & Drama.

Islandeady Parish - a Short History
The name Islandeady or Oilean Eadaigh may be derived from 13th century St Eiden who founded a church in the hillside cemetery. A church site at Annagh dates from Patrician times. Ancient churches were at Rehins, which Patrick also visited, Drimneen, Kilbree and Knockbawn in Glenisland.
Aolain, who gives his name to Glenisland ‘Gleann Aolain’, was a saint who lived here. Nearby, in Pollanass, is a double-cupped stone reputed to show the marks of the hermit’s knees.
Islandeady parish borders those of Westport, Kilmeena and Castlebar, and stretches from Crumpaun river, near Glenhest on the north, to Ayle near Aughagower on the south.
Traces of Mass paths in many villages leading to the Church are proof of the devotion of the people to the Mass. In 1574 Islandeady was a curacy only. In 1591, however, Very Rev. Hubert Og Burke was parish priest and Rev John Hubain curate.
The present church of Islandeady, dedicated to St Patrick, was originally thatched. On his appointment as parish priest in 1849 Very Rev John Fitzgerald had the building slated and the centre aisle, or ‘long house’, was added.
The Church of the Holy Rosary in Glenisland was built in 1820 for 150 pounds.
Islandeady was decimated by the Famine. In 1834 the Catholic population was 9,164. Two decades later, the number had dwindled by half. In 1844 there were 370 baptisms. Nine years later only one hundred babies were baptised. The population of the parish in 2003 stood at 1550.
The earliest recorded baptisms and marriages come from Very Rev Richard Henry, appointed parish priest in 1839. Celebrations marking 150 years of those records were held in 1989.
Evictions were commonplace when Very Rev Thomas O’Malley, a Jesuit, was appointed parish priest in 1872. Fr. O’Malley, a native of the parish, was highly influential and his intervention saved many tenants from eviction by the agents of landlords to whom he did not endear himself.
A former curate, Rev Francis J. McCormack, (1862-1867), was appointed Bishop of Achonry and, from 1887 until his death in 1909, was Bishop of Galway.
Further refurbishment of St Patrick’s Church was undertaken by Very Rev Stephen Blowick - brother of Fr. John, cofounder of the Society of St Columban - following his appointment as parish priest in 1951. Very Rev Anthony O’Toole had the ‘Long House’ porch added in 1988.
Islandeady Community Council
We in Islandeady are very fortunate to have a magnificent voluntary organisation such as the Community council, working tirelessly on behalf of the Community. The Council began in 1976, almost thirty years ago and has gone from strength to strength.
Early Days
Prior to 1976 people had their own wells, or got water from local rivers and lakes. One of the first projects the newly formed Community Council took on was the provision of a clean reliable water supply to all households and farms. The condition of the many roads in our parish was another area of great concern. Many roads needed urgent resurfacing or other remedial work. Until the advent of the Community Council, there was no organisation in approaching the Authorities on behalf of individuals or villages. Indeed many roads were in a dreadful condition with some still not yet been tarred. Significant improvements have been made since then due to the persistence of Community Council members.
Achievements
The following is just some of the Community Council achievements over the years:
Car Parking facilities at Islandeady Church and Graveyard
Sign Post from main roads to villages , many of which have been set in stone
The removal of dangerous bends and other hazards on some of our minor roads in the Parish
The management of several FAS schemes in the Parish, comprising of local men who carried out work that greatly enhance the appearance of the area and such examples are as follows:
Building of superb stone walls in a variety of locations throughout the Parish
Excellent development work at the Islandeady GAA pitch
Involvement in the installation of Islandeady Group Water Scheme
Restoration of the Old Church and development of the old part of the Cemetery
The building of stone shrines at St Patrick’s Church Islandeady and the Cemetery
In conjunction with the Islandeady Angling Club, wonderful development of the shoreline of Bilberry lake to facilitate the mooring of Boats and additional ancillary works
The production of the Islandeady Millennium Parish Magazine and a Souvenir publication of “Islandeady Parish” past & present.
The most recent and greatest achievement of recent times has been the successful refurbishment of the Community Centre in Islandeady

HP-67
In mid 1976 the HP-67 was launched 2 and ½ years later than the HP-65 to replace it. The HP-67 takes the same features than the HP-65, like the magnetic card reader, the programmable functions and even the same looking, but adds more memory and is more user friendly.
The HP-67 was declined in a printer version : the HP-97 (a desktop model, also working on batteries). Both models were fully compatible (exept that the 67 doesn't print) and shared a huge program library. Despite their price (see below), these models were at the time very popular. To benefit from both program library and popularity, in 1979 the HP-41C was introduced with a magnetic card reader, which made this calculator compatible with the HP-67/97 programs.
Prices
In 1977 : HP-67: $450, HP-97: $750
