Phillip Lim (born September 16, 1973, as Pheng Lim) is an American fashion designer of Chinese descent whose parents immigrated to America from Cambodia during the Cambodian genocide. Lim co-founded and worked at the Los Angeles-based fashion label Development from 2000 to 2004. In the fall of 2005, he co-founded 3.1 Phillip Lim with friend and business partner Wen Zhou, becoming the company's creative representative.

Lim has garnered both critical and commercial success with his eponymous line. The Council of Fashion Designers of America awarded Lim the 2007 award for Emerging Talent in Womenswear for his work at 3.1 Phillip Lim. In 2012, he was awarded the council's Swarovski award for Menswear.

3.1 Phillip Lim

3.1 Phillip Lim is Lim's fashion label.  It is projected to have sales of  in 2011.

Collections
For the line's fall 2006 collection, Lim aimed to "inject some 'street elegance' " into his designs.  Laird Borrelli of Vogue praised his work as a "pretty-but-cool clothes" that "don't try too hard".

Lim's spring 2007 collection, His first runway show was praised as "lovely" by Nicole Phelps of Vogue, who said Lim proved himself to be an "accomplished tailor".  His clothes were romantic and predominantly white, with occasional navy and floral elements.  Phelps noted Lim's "knack for combining the dressy and the casual", saying that "Lim knows how fashionable women want to dress".

The line's fall 2007 collection was inspired by socialite Edith Bouvier Beale and meant to embody what Lim called "pedigree minus prudence". In what Phelps described as Lim's "most ambitious collection by far", Lim showed prep-school plaids and debutante-inspired dresses.

For his Resort 2008 collection, Lim revisited his standby motifs.

His fall 2009 was inspired by the youthquake movement of the 1960s in England. Lissie Trullie's band performed live on his runway.

His spring 2010 fashion show, held on September 16, 2009, as part of the New York Fashion Week, was very well received, Lauren David Peden of Vogue reviewing the clothes as "delightfully modern, exceptionally detailed looks", "enhancing a woman’s femininity without getting all girlie-girl saccharine", and Mark Holgate adding that Lim was "able to martial all the salient ideas of the season into brilliantly effortless, and wonderfully special, pieces". The collection was presented again the following day, at an exclusive runway event for American Express cardholders, the designer explaining that his goal was "to provide Cardmembers insight beyond the traditional runway show and offer them a one-of-a-kind experience into the design process". However, during the show one of the models continuously fell down in her stilettos on both of her trips down the runway, and couldn't get up during the finale until another model picked her up and helped her off the runway. The mishap triggered several articles, and Jessica Coen of New York Magazine's The Cut even stated that "the whole thing was a catastrophe".

In its fifth year the brand, known for its effortlessly chic and youthful elegance, has seen immense critical and commercial success with stores in New York City, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Seoul.

On September 15, 2013, Lim's collaboration with retail chain Target debuted to select Target stores in the United States of America, and Canada. The fall collection included both women's and men's apparel and accessories ranging in price from $19.99 to $299.99.

Lim initiated a collaboration with scientists, including Charlotte McCurdy, to create fashion accessories and materials from algae and other lab-grown materials.

He was the elder brother of dramatist and author Paul Kester (1870–1933).

His style and topics were influenced by his travels through western and southern U.S., and by his mother's cousin William Dean Howells. His novel The Manager of the B & A was made into a film in 1916 directed by J.P. McGowan, with Leo Maloney and Helen Holmes, reissued in 1921 as The Man from Medicine Hat.
He married Jessie B. Jennings from Mount Vernon, Ohio on August 31, 1898. They had no children.

In 1902, with his brother, he purchased and renovated Woodlawn Plantation.  From 1907, he lived at Gunston Hall, where he wrote The Prodigal Judge, and where he died. A memorial in his honor was placed by his mother in Pohick Church, which had at one time been the parish church of Gunston Hall.

Dexter James Kerstetter (December 21, 1907 – July 9, 1972) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II.

Biography
Kerstetter joined the Army from his birthplace of Centralia, Washington in March 1942, and by April 13, 1945, was serving as a private first class in Company C, 130th Infantry Regiment, 33rd Infantry Division. On that day, during a fight to take a ridge near Galiano, Luzon, the Philippines, he advanced ahead of his squad and engaged the Japanese soldiers alone until running out of ammunition. For these actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor seven months later, on November 1, 1945. He left the army with the rank of sergeant.

Medal of Honor citation
Private First Class Kerstetter official Medal of Honor citation reads:
He was with his unit in a dawn attack against hill positions approachable only along a narrow ridge paralleled on each side by steep cliffs which were heavily defended by enemy mortars, machineguns, and rifles in well-camouflaged spider holes and tunnels leading to caves. When the leading element was halted by intense fire that inflicted 5 casualties, Pfc. Kerstetter passed through the American line with his squad. Placing himself well in advance of his men, he grimly worked his way up the narrow steep hogback, meeting the brunt of enemy action. With well-aimed shots and rifle-grenade fire, he forced the Japs to take cover. He left the trail and moving down a cliff that offered only precarious footholds, dropped among 4 Japs at the entrance to a cave, fired his rifle from his hip and killed them all. Climbing back to the trail, he advanced against heavy enemy machinegun, rifle, and mortar fire to silence a heavy machinegun by killing its crew of 4 with rifle fire and grenades. He expended his remaining ammunition and grenades on a group of approximately 20 Japs, scattering them, and returned to his squad for more ammunition and first aid for his left hand, which had been blistered by the heat from his rifle. Resupplied, he guided a fresh platoon into a position from which a concerted attack could be launched, killing 3 hostile soldiers on the way. In all, he dispatched 16 Japs that day. The hill was taken and held against the enemy's counterattacks, which continued for 3 days. Pfc. Kerstetter's dauntless and gallant heroism was largely responsible for the capture of this key enemy position, and his fearless attack in the face of great odds was an inspiration to his comrades in their dangerous task.

The Procession de la Sanch (Processó de la Sanch in Catalan) is an annual ceremony in several towns in the French Catalonia. It is held during Holy Week on Good Friday ('Vendredi Saint'/'Divendres Sant'). Historically, a distinctive peaked, masked robe (the capirote) was used to protect the identity of prisoners (from revenge by those wronged) being led to their town's annual execution. This practical ceremony intermingled with Christian traditions of Good Friday, and today a long procession of black-robed people are led in silence by the red-robed regidor to the solemn tapping of a tambourine, as part of the Good Friday celebrations.

L’Artiste was a weekly illustrated review published in Paris from 1831 to 1904, supplying "the richest single source of contemporary commentary on artists, exhibitions and trends from the Romantic era to the end of the nineteenth century."

History
L'Artiste was founded in 1831 by Achille Ricourt with financing provided by the businessman Aimé-Joseph Brame. In 1843, it was purchased by Arsène Houssaye.

Originally, L'Artiste addressed fine arts and literature, but by 1859, literature became its primary concern.  It later absorbed the Revue de Paris.

Important editors included A. Ricourt, H. Delaunay, and Arsène Houssaye. Notably, it published works by  Honoré de Balzac, Gérard de Nerval, Théophile Gautier, Jules Janin, Théodore de Banville, Émile Zola, Henri Murger, Jules Champfleury, Charles Baudelaire, Joseph Méry, Eugène Sue and Alphonse Esquiros.

On 24 January 2008, the Italian prime minister Romano Prodi lost a vote of confidence in the Senate of the Republic, which caused the collapse of the second Prodi government. Prodi's resignation led the Italian president Giorgio Napolitano to ask the president of the Senate, Franco Marini, to attempt to form a caretaker government. After Marini acknowledged an interim government could not be formed due to the lack of a clear majority in the Italian Parliament willing to support it, a snap election was scheduled for 13–14 April 2008.

Background

Prodi had at the time been in office for twenty months, after his centre-left coalition had won a majority of seats in Parliament in the 2006 Italian general election. One of the parties making up the coalition was the Union of Democrats for Europe (UDEUR), led by Clemente Mastella, who Prodi had chosen as his Minister of Justice.

In 16 January 2008, following media reports about an extensive corruption investigation involving him and his wife, also an UDEUR politician in Campania, Mastella resigned from the position of minister. After first promising to keep backing the government, he later withdrew his support, in part due to pressure from the Vatican, which objected to the government's liberal reform, especially its plan of introducing registered partnerships for same-sex couples.

Mastella's decision arrived a few days after the Constitutional Court of Italy allowed a referendum in Italy, which would have modified the electoral system and, among other things, made it harder for smaller parties like Mastella's to win seats, to take place. As the collapse of the government would have disrupted the referendum, this further cemented Mastella's opinion that triggering a political crisis was necessary.

Government crisis
UDEUR's defection forced the question of whether Prodi still had enough support in Parliament to govern. On 22 January 2008, Prodi asked for a confidence vote in the country's Chamber of Deputies, which he ended up winning the following day, with UDEUR members of Parliament (MPs) not voting. On 24 January, Prodi asked for a confidence vote in the Senate. The ensuing debate, held between 3pm and 9pm (CET), was heated and dramatic.

When UDEUR party senator Stefano Cusumano decided he would rebel against the party and back the government, he was verbally harassed by some of his colleagues, who called him an "hysterical faggot" and "traitor", with one of them reportedly going as far as to spit in his face. At this point, Cusumano apparently fainted and was carried out on a stretcher. Despite Cusumano's defection, the government lost the vote. After the president of the Senate announced the results, members of the opposition, including National Alliance MP Nino Strano started celebrating, opening a champagne bottle and eating mortadella; "Mortadella" was a derogatory nickname employed against Prodi.

Aftermath

On 30 January 2008, Napolitano asked Franco Marini to attempt to form a caretaker government, with the goal of avoiding a snap election until a new electoral system could have been in place. The electoral system that was in place at the time, the Porcellum, had drawn criticism both from the outgoing government and from the opposition, as well as from the general population. A common source of criticism was the fact voters could not pick individual candidates, and were instead forced to choose between slates prepared by parties. Some also felt that the presence of a majority bonus, to be awarded nationally for the Chamber of Deputies, and in each region for the Senate of the Republic, distorted the results of the election and created the risk of a Chamber of Deputies and a Senate at odds with each other in the event of a close election.

After Marini was given the task to try to form a new government, two politicians (Bruno Tabacci and Mario Baccini) splintered from the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats (UDC) to form the The Rose for Italy, while two leading members of the Forza Italia faction Liberal Popular Union (Ferdinando Adornato and ) switched parties and joined the UDC. On 4 February 2008, the Liberal Populars (an UDC faction that favoured a merged with Forza Italia) seceded from UDC, and merged with Silvio Berlusconi's The People of Freedom later the same year.

On 4 February 2008, Marini acknowledged that he had not found a majority willing to back a government led by him, and resigned his mandate, mainly due to opposition from the centre-right coalition parties Forza Italia and National Alliance, which, according to polls, were likely to win if a snap election was held, and as such wanted one to be called  On 6 February 2008, Napolitano dissolved Parliament and called for fresh elections. The 2008 Italian general election was held on 13–14 April, together with the administrative elections. The elections resulted in a decisive victory for Berlusconi's centre-right coalition.

Ronald Arthur Casey  (5 July 1929 – 2 October 2018) was an Australian television presenter, sports journalist and talk-back radio host based in Sydney, New South Wales.

Early life
Casey was born in Lismore, New South Wales on 5 July 1929, but moved to Sydney with his mother, Nellie Thorne, and brother, John Francis Casey, and settled at Coogee, New South Wales, when he was 10.

In 1944, Casey was a New South Wales state swimming champion, and he went on to work for thirteen years as a professional swimming coach at North Sydney Olympic Pool after covering the swimming events at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics as a freelance journalist.

Media career
Casey's career began at radio station 2KY in 1948. He became well known in the early years of television as a sports presenter on World of Sport (with Frank Hyde) at TCN-9 (Nine Network), and later as the sports newsreader at Channel TEN-10. He was also a talk-back radio host at Sydney radio stations 2KY, 2SM, and 2GB, and was also a sports journalist at Sydney's The Daily Mirror newspaper for many years.

Controversy
Although Casey was a successful sports media figure, he later stirred controversy as an often "politically incorrect" talk-back radio host, famous for his quick temper. He was suspended on several occasions during his career for offensive remarks made on radio.

In the 1980s, Casey became a vocal campaigner against increasing Asian immigration to Australia although he denied he was ever a racist. Said Casey:"The conspiracy exists among prominent politicians to stifle any debate on the immigration issue, and among ethnic leaders in the community to diffuse any opposition to unlimited Asian immigration. The facts are plain to see. The majority of Australians are against it, but nothing is done to ensure their wishes are fulfilled. I spoke out and was vilified. Professor Blainey spoke out and lost his job. John Howard spoke out and was dumped as opposition leader. Bruce Ruxton spoke out and was labelled a racist looney."

In 1988, Casey was sacked by radio station 2KY after describing Asians on-air as "little bastards". The station's owner, the Labor Council of New South Wales, passed a motion at its conference that Casey must desist from "making statements inciting racial hatred, sexual assault and sexual harassment" while being employed by the station and thus associated with the Labor Council. 2KY general manager and Labor Party state president John MacBean said that he had re-hired Casey due to the loss of ratings and revenue, but also for his support for the labour movement and the Australian Labor Party.

On 16 July 1991, Casey was involved in a sensational incident on national television. During a republican debate on the Nine Network's Midday show hosted by Ray Martin, he became involved in a live on-air scuffle with singer and actor Normie Rowe during which Rowe pushed Casey into his chair, and Casey responded by punching Rowe in the face. The Victorian RSL chief Bruce Ruxton, who was on the set at the time of the brawl, said the next day: "As for Ron Casey, he deserved a good punch in the nose." (despite the fact it was Casey who punched Rowe, not the other way around).

In July 1995, Casey's interview with English author and Holocaust denier David Irving made news around the world when Irving said on air that between one and four million Jews had died in concentration camps—a figure far higher than Irving had ever conceded in the past or since, although he qualified this estimate by saying that barbarity and disease had caused the deaths.

In May 2000, Casey was suspended from radio station 2GB after saying that Aboriginal Australians were "disadvantaged because they won’t get off their black arses and do some work". It was Casey's third suspension from the station, and the fourth time he had made racist comments on-air. Soon after, he retired from the Sydney media after a career that spanned 50 years.

He also openly admitted to routinely harassing women. On his show, he said, "Yesterday, Marcus Einfeld in the Human Rights and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, said that his organisation was not a platform for vindictiveness or exaggerated allegations... [and] not to create a marketplace for exaggerated or imagined allegations against men. And I think Justice Marcus Einfeld is right on the button. So many of these cases ... they are ugly girls ... but I've always found whenever I've worked at various radio stations before getting the sack, that if you are nice to ugly girls, it sort of helps them—it boosts their day—it makes them feel good. And I've always made a practice wherever I work, of selecting the ugliest girls and as they walk by, give them a backhand pelvic flick."

Confessions of a Larrikin
Casey published a memoir in 1989, titled Confessions of a Larrikin (), which he co-wrote with Richard Sleeman.

Honours
Casey was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia on Australia Day 1988 for services to the media.

Personal life
Casey married twice, first in 1954 and had two daughters; and again in 1966 to Renate Langkusch with whom he had a son and a daughter. He had numerous health problems in his eighties, including a quadruple heart bypass, several strokes and bladder cancer.

Casey died at Royal North Shore Hospital on 2 October 2018 aged 89.

In journalism, a stringer is a freelance journalist, photographer, or videographer who contributes reports, photos, or videos to a news organization on an ongoing basis but is paid individually for each piece of published or broadcast work.

As freelancers, stringers do not receive a regular salary and the amount and type of work is typically at their discretion. However, stringers often have an ongoing relationship with one or more news organizations, to which they provide content on particular topics or locations when the opportunities arise.

Etymology and use
In a journalistic context, the etymology of the word is uncertain. It is said that newspapers once paid such freelancer journalists per inch of printed text they generated, and that they used string to measure and bill their work. The theory given in the Oxford English Dictionary is that a stringer is a person who strings words together.

The term is typically confined to news industry jargon. In print or in broadcast terms, stringers are sometimes referred to as correspondents or contributors. At other times, they may not receive any public recognition for the work they have contributed.

A reporter or photographer can "string" for a news organization in a number of different capacities and with varying degrees of regularity, so that the relationship between the organization and the stringer is typically very loose.  When it is difficult for a staff reporter or photographer to reach a location quickly for breaking news stories, larger news organizations often rely on local stringers to provide rapid scene descriptions, quotations or photos. In this capacity, stringers are used heavily by most television news organizations and some print publications for video footage, photos, and interviews.

Portrayal in popular media
Peter Parker (Spider-Man) is depicted in comics, movies, and various other media as a stringer who captures and sells the pictures to local news, most notably the Daily Bugle.
Joe Pesci plays Leon Bernstein, a stringer for tabloids in New York, in the 1992 film The Public Eye.

Le Grand Chef () is a 2007 South Korean film starring Kim Kang-woo, Im Won-hee and Lee Ha-na. Produced by ShowEast and distributed by CJ Entertainment, it was released on November 1, 2007 with the length of 114 minutes.

Based on the popular manhwa Sikgaek by Huh Young-man, the film tells the story of two chefs competing for the title of heir to the last Royal Chef of the Joseon Dynasty.

Synopsis
At a press conference, the cooking knife of the last Royal Chef of Joseon Dynasty is presented to the public. The chef, who did not wish to cook for the Japanese imperial rulers, cut off his hand with this knife. The Japanese bureaucrat at the time was moved by the chef's loyalty to king and country, and kept it upon his return to Japan. Now, to redeem past evils, his son has decided to return it to Korea. In order to find a deserving owner he announces a nationwide culinary competition to find the best cook to own this knife, and become the true heir of the last Korean Royal Chef of Joseon Dynasty.

Archenemies Seong-chan (Kim Kang-woo) and Bong-ju (Im Won-hee) rekindle their longstanding rivalry as they sharpen their knives. Five years before, the two had competed to take over Unamjeong, a renowned Korean restaurant. But Seong-chan suffered a critical blow when his blowfish dish poisons the jurors. Distraught, he retires to the countryside, while Bong-ju exploits the wealth and fame of his inheritance. With the help of Jin-su (Lee Ha-na), a pretty, energetic reporter, Seong-chan makes a comeback. But now, he must not only battle the blindly ambitious Bong-ju, but also face the corrupt jurors and take care of his Alzheimer's-struck grandfather, and also take a few moments to contemplate the budding romance with Jin-su.

KYFO-FM (95.5 MHz) is a radio station in Ogden, Utah, United States. The station serves Ogden and Salt Lake City with Conservative Christian programming from the Bible Broadcasting Network. The primary transmitter site is located west of Ogden; a 7-watt booster for the main signal and a translator at 91.3 FM are located on Ensign Peak, improving reception in Salt Lake City itself.

History

KVFM (1977-1983)
The El Paso Broadcasting Corporation was granted a construction permit to build a new 100 kW FM station in Ogden on May 16, 1977. The construction permit took the call letters KVFM. After being renamed Utah Broadcasting Corporation in 1982, the permittee signed the station on in June 1983; two months later, Utah Broadcasting sold KVFM to Sherman Greenleigh Sanchez Broadcasting of Utah, owners of KJQN (1490 AM). As a result, KVFM became KJQN-FM "KJQ", partially simulcasting its AM sister.

KJQN (1983-1992)
KJQ flipped to alternative on March 1, 1988, with many of its new airstaff refugees from the former KCGL-FM, which was flipped to religious programming when it was sold in 1986. The station also expanded its reach by broadcasting on translators at 92.7 MHz in Salt Lake City and 104.9 in Provo (activated in 1989).

Abacus Broadcasting Corporation acquired KJQN-AM-FM in 1989 for $700,000; Abacus was owned by minority shareholders from the original permittee. While the format remained unchanged, the early 1990s brought mounting troubles. In the final months of 1991, 23 of the station's 25 employees quit their jobs, after the station hired its third general manager in 14 months and rumors swirled of a format flip; staffers quit because they questioned the ownership's commitment to "modern music". Only two DJs, the hosts of the morning show, remained with KJQ; the station also lost 75 percent of its music library and some equipment, as well as several advertising clients. The former KJQ employees then brokered out time on KZOL (96.1 FM), which became KXRK on February 13, 1992. When the former employees acquired KXRK outright in 1993 for $925,000, the application included a copy of a lawsuit filed by the former KJQN-FM, alleging that its former employees took equipment, including a former milk truck used for remote broadcasts known as the "Milk Beast", when they defected, and that the ex-KJQ staffers used KJQN-owned trademarks and made defamatory remarks about their former station.

KKBE (1992-1994)
Nearly eight months after the mass defection that birthed KXRK, Abacus had seen enough. It flipped KJQN-FM to KKBE-FM "The Killer Bee", a contemporary hit radio outlet, on October 6, 1992. KKBE-FM drew many of its staff from alumni of KWCR-FM, the radio station at Weber State University. The Killer Bee, however, did not last eight months itself; in May 1993, it yielded to gospel from the Super Gospel Network, after it was rumored that the station would go country. Owner Michael Haston revealed that he had been faked out when contemporary competitor KZHT flipped to rock and then changed right back days later, leaving KKBE in a three-way format battle; furthermore, ratings were hurt when the Provo translator was out of service for three months.

KYFO (1994-present)
By the end of 1992, Abacus Broadcasting had filed for bankruptcy. The Chapter 7 bankruptcy case was resolved when KKBE-FM and KJOE (the former KJQN AM) were purchased at auction by the Bible Broadcasting Network for $455,000 in 1994; both stations flipped to BBN religious programming as KYFO FM and AM.

Booster and translator
KYFO-FM operates a booster on 95.5 MHz and a translator on 91.3 MHz from Ensign Peak, which improve the signal in Salt Lake City. The translator has been associated with KYFO since the KJQ days, when it was K224BY; it moved from 92.7 MHz to 91.3 in 2006 after being forced off the air when KUUU moved to first-adjacent 92.5.

The Provo translator, K285EA, later became K284AI, simulcasting Logan-based KVFX. The move-in of Wyoming station KYLZ to the Salt Lake City market and the commissioning of a booster network forced that translator off the air in 2009.

Hunter: The Vigil is a tabletop role-playing game originally published by White Wolf Publishing on August 14, 2008, and is the sixth game in their game series Chronicles of Darkness – a reboot of the World of Darkness series. Led by a storyteller, players take the roles of people who have learned of the existence of the supernatural, and fight back against monsters as groups of hunters.

The game was originally designed by Justin Achilli, Rich Thomas, and Chuck Wendig, who based it on the earlier game Hunter: The Reckoning; Monica Valentinelli designed a second edition with updates to the game rules, which was released by Onyx Path Publishing in 2022. Both White Wolf Publishing and Onyx Path Publishing have supported the game with supplementary game books including adventure modules; the latter has also released the Dark Eras line of books describing the setting in other time periods. The game line was commercially successful and well received critically.

Overview
Hunter: The Vigil is a horror tabletop role-playing game with a modern-day setting. Players take the roles of groups of people called hunters, who are aware of the supernatural and fight back against it, but do not necessarily have any special powers, and may not have much knowledge of the monsters they fight. To fight the supernatural, hunters adopt "the vigil", a morality code that gradually erodes their humanity. The monsters the players fight include creatures from other Chronicles of Darkness games, including the protagonists thereof, such as the vampires of the game Vampire: The Requiem or the prometheans of Promethean: The Created. Although the game has a setting with several named organizations and actors, it does unlike the original World of Darkness series not have an ongoing publisher-made narrative.

The game has three types of gameplay: in tier one, the group of hunters – a "cell" – has little support; in tier two, the hunters have the support of a larger organization called a compact; and in tier three, they are at the mercy of large groups called conspiracies, which may control governments. The tier affects the hunters' abilities; additionally, lower tiers give the hunters more freedom whereas higher tiers give access to more resources. Players create their characters in a similar way to other Chronicles of Darkness games, assigning values to different attributes, represented by the filling in of dots on a character sheet. One of these is the willpower attribute, which reflects the hunters' moral conflicts, and can be spent to resist social pressure. Games are led by a storyteller, and outcomes of attempted actions are determined based on characters' statistics and the rolling of dice pools.

Production

Hunter: The Vigil was originally produced by White Wolf Publishing as the sixth game in the Chronicles of Darkness series, which is a reboot of their series World of Darkness. Like many games in the series, it is based on an earlier World of Darkness game – Hunter: The Reckoning (1999) – but it also expands on the basic human characters described in the Chronicles of Darkness rulebook, and takes inspiration from Dark Ages: Inquisitor (2002) and The Hunters Hunted (1992). The first edition of Hunter: The Vigil was developed by Chuck Wendig; although he had written many books for White Wolf Publishing, it was only his second time developing one, which he considered the most difficult aspect of the project for him. He designed it together with Justin Achilli and Rich Thomas; Monica Valentinelli was the lead designer for the second edition.

Wendig described the game's main theme as "light in shadows", with hunter characters fighting against the supernatural as underdogs; a secondary theme to him was the simultaneous fragility and power of humanity, and how the pressure of necessary sacrifices affects the hunters. Valentinelli did not want to drastically change the game for its second edition, but to improve on and clarify the core, including updating the game rules to bring them in line with the other second-edition Chronicles of Darkness games. She also wanted to work with writers of many different backgrounds due to the game's global scope.

Release
White Wolf Publishing announced Hunter: The Vigil in January 2008, and released the first edition on August 14, 2008, at the Gen Con game convention. In the following years, they supported the game with supplementary game books, including several adventure modules. Many of these were created as part of White Wolf Publishing's SAS line ("Storytelling Adventure System") of ebooks, and only released digitally, but the game line has also seen several print releases. The second edition was announced in 2015 by Onyx Path Publishing, a company formed by ex–White Wolf Publishing staff. It was financed through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, and was released on March 2, 2022.

In addition to the game and the supplementary books, Onyx Path Publishing has released a line of Dark Eras books, which describe the setting of Hunter: The Vigil and other Chronicles of Darkness games during other time periods.

Books

First edition (2008–2017)

Second edition (2022–present)

Reception

Hunter: The Vigil performed better commercially than expected, leading to the initially limited game line getting expanded with further supplementary books, and more of those getting released as printed books. The second edition was also commercially successful, quickly exceeding its crowdfunding goal. The game has also been generally well received critically, with Flames Rising considering the first edition a stand-out among the publisher's games around that time.

Critics liked the gameplay and the ease and speed of creating characters; Fenix found the dot-based attribute system superior to and easier to read than other role-playing games that use number-based systems, and appreciated the willpower rules for encouraging players to take risks for potential rewards. Flames Rising found the tactics rules too complex for a game intended to focus on storytelling, but thought that the game overall worked well both for one-shots and longer campaigns.

The writing saw mixed opinions: Fenix liked the game's "dark and mature" tone, but criticized its portrayal of women, describing it as adhering too strictly to gender roles and mostly portraying women as victims, exemplifying this with how only one of the game's twelve compacts and conspiracies is visually represented by a female character, who they found under-dressed for a hunter. Both Fenix and Flames Rising additionally criticized the writing for at times being choppy; Fenix called it sometimes "pompous" and tedious, something they found unusual for White Wolf Publishing's games. The game's visuals also saw varying responses: Fenix found the quality to be uneven throughout the book, whereas Rue Morgue found the artwork "excellent", and Flames Rising considered the book almost entirely graphically pleasing, with the cover art being one exception.

Thomas Aloysius Boland (February 17, 1896 – March 16, 1979) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as archbishop of the Archdiocese of Newark in New Jersey from 1952 to 1974.  He previously served as an auxiliary bishop of the same diocese from 1940 to 1947 and bishop of the Diocese of Paterson in New Jersey from 1947 to 1952.

Biography

Early life
Thomas Boland was born in Orange, New Jersey, to John Peter and Ellen Agnes (née O'Rourke) Boland. He received his early education at the St. John's School, the parish school of St. John the Evangelist Parish in Oranges He then attended St. Francis Xavier High School in New York City.

In 1915, Boland enrolled at Seton Hall College in South Orange, New Jersey. He graduated from Seton Hall in 1919 as valedictorian of his class. He then began his studies for the priesthood at the Pontifical North American College in Rome. He earned a Doctor of Sacred Theology degree from the Pontifical Urbaniana University.

Priesthood
On December 23, 1922, Boland was ordained a priest in Rome of what was then the Diocese of Newark at the Basilica of St. John Lateran. Following his return to New Jersey, he was first assigned as a curate at St. Catherine's Parish in Hillside. He also served at St. Mary's Parish in Nutley. New Jersey. In addition to his pastoral duties, Boland taught Sacred Scripture and classical languages at Seton Hall Preparatory School and Seton Hall College.

From 1926 to 1938, Boland served as professor of moral theology and canon law at Immaculate Conception Seminary in Darlington, New Jersey. In 1933, he became an official of the archdiocesan tribunal with the duty of adjudicating marriages of questionable validity. That same year, he was named moderator of priests' conferences. He was chancellor of the archdiocese from 1938 to 1940.

Auxiliary Bishop of Newark
On May 21, 1940, Boland was appointed as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Newark and Titular Bishop of Hirina by Pope Pius XII. He received his episcopal consecration on July 25, 1940, from Archbishop Thomas Walsh, with Bishops William A. Griffin and Bartholomew J. Eustace serving as co-consecrators.

As an auxiliary bishop, Boland served as rector of Immaculate Conception Seminary from 1940 to 1947. In this capacity, he taught pastoral theology and liturgy and lectured on the archdiocesan statutes. He also served as director of the Newark branch of the National Organization for Decent Literature, and as promoter of the archdiocesan synod held in 1941.

Bishop of Paterson
Following the death of Bishop Thomas H. McLaughlin, Boland was named the second bishop of the Diocese of Paterson on June 21, 1947, by Pius XII. His installation took place at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Paterson on September 18, 1947.

Archbishop of Newark
Boland was appointed the second archbishop of the Archdiocese of Newark on November 15, 1952. He was installed at Sacred Heart Church in Newark, New Jersey, on January 14, 1953. On October 19, 1954, he formally dedicated the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Newark. At the same ceremony, he received the pallium, a vestment worn by metropolitan bishops, from Archbishop Amleto Cicognani, the apostolic delegate to the United States.

Between 1962 and 1965, Boland attended all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council in Rome, where he was elected to head the Bishops' Study Committee. In June 1965, he was named an assistant at the pontifical throne by Pope Paul VI for "establishing numerous parishes, opening many parochial schools and admitting the laity to active participation in the apostolate of the sacred ecclesiastical hierarchy." He was also a member of the Catholic Mission Board of the United States, chair of the Episcopal Committee, and liaison between women religious and the American Catholic bishops.

Boland founded St. Joseph Regional High School in Montvale, New Jersey, Immaculate Heart Academy in Washington Township, New Jersey and Paramus Catholic High School in Paramus, New Jersey, in the early/mid '60s.

In January 1969, a group of 20 priests of the archdiocese accused Boland of adopting a "white racist attitude" toward African Americans and said he must be charged with"...the bigotry of indolence and the prejudice of apathy." Along with these accusations of racism, the group of priests presented a list of demands, which called for the formation of an advisory committee of priests for inner-city affairs, an improved method of screening priests in African American areas, and the transfer of some pastors who have "not proven a predisposition for justice by their performance." In response, Boland issued a seven-page report that outlined the programs the archdiocese had taken in regard to African-Americans. He declared, "No one can truthfully say I have not made every effort to bring to reality those plans which I have felt could be of advantage, whether for spiritual or temporal goals, of the disadvantaged in our midst.

Retirement and legacy
Boland's resignation as archbishop of the Archdiocese of Newark was accepted by Pope Paul VI on April 2, 1974, after twenty-one years of service. Thomas Boland died at St. Mary's Hospital in Orange on March 16, 1979, at age 83. He was buried in the crypt of the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart.

"The Commuter" is a science fiction short story by American writer Philip K. Dick, first published in the August-September 1953 issue of Amazing Stories. It has been reprinted over 20 times, including Croatian, Dutch, French, German and Italian translations. As with much of Dick's fiction, it is an exploration of the boundary of existence.

Plot
A railway station manager encounters the eponymous commuter, who speaks of a town that cannot be found on any normal map. The commuter literally vanishes on close questioning about this ephemeral town. Based on the information the manager extracts from the commuter, he undertakes an investigation and boards a train the commuter claimed was scheduled to stop at the town. The station manager finds himself arriving at the non-existent town.

Subsequent investigation reveals that the town nearly existed. It was narrowly voted out of existence during a planning meeting, and the narrowness of this vote is directly reflected in the ephemeral nature of the town.

Adaptation
The story was adapted by Jack Thorne into an episode of the Channel 4/Amazon Video anthology series Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams. Tom Harper directed the episode starring Timothy Spall, Tuppence Middleton, and Anne Reid.

Plot
Ed Jacobson is a railway worker at Woking station. His life takes a turn for the worse when his son, Sam, begins experiencing psychotic episodes. When he is selling rail tickets at work, a young woman named Linda asks for a ticket to a destination called Macon Heights that is not listed on any map. Intrigued, Jacobson takes the train indicated by Linda, then follows passengers who jump off the train and walk to an idyllic village that provides an escape from the traumas of their lives. On his return home, he experiences an alternate reality where his son was never born. He must decide whether to accept this new life, or return to Macon Heights and demand Linda restore his original life, including his troubled son.

The 5th Maine Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment of the Union Army during the American Civil War.

Service
Organized at Portland, Maine and mustered in June 24, 1861. Left State for Washington, D.C., June 26. Attached to Howard's Brigade, Heintzelman's Division, McDowell's Army of Northeastern Virginia, to August, 1861. Heintzelman's Brigade, Division of the Potomac, to October, 1862. Slocum's Brigade, Franklin's Division, Army of the Potomac, to March, 1862. 2nd Brigade, 1st Division, 1st Army Corps, Army Potomac and Dept. of the Rappahannock, to May, 1862. 2nd Brigade, 1st Division, 6th Army Corps, Army Potomac, to June, 1864.

Afterward, the regiment was combined with those of the 7th Maine Infantry to form the 1st Maine Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment.

Today the 5th Maine's memory is preserved at the Fifth Maine Regiment Community Center on Peaks Island, Maine, formerly a reunion house for the regiment's veterans.

Detailed History
This regiment was recruited from the third militia division of the state.  It was mustered into the service of the United States on June 24, 1861, and numbered 1,046 men.  It was made up entirely of new companies and was raised at a time when a spirit of intense patriotism prevailed throughout the state, so that little exertion was required to fill its ranks.  It left Maine for Washington on June 26, fully equipped and armed with Springfield muskets and bayonets.  On its way through New York City it was the recipient of a beautiful flag, presented by the loyal sons of Maine there resident.  It remained in camp at Meridian Hill, Washington, until July 5, when it commenced its march to the battlefield of Bull Run.  During its three years of severe service, it was engaged in eleven pitched battles and eight skirmishes, prior to its participation in the terrible campaign of the Wilderness under Grant.  Its list of battles includes First Bull Run, West Point, Gaines' Mill, Charles City Cross-Roads, Crampton's Gap, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Salem Heights, Gettysburg, Rappahannock Station, Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House and Cold Harbor.  In the battle of Gaines' Mill the 5th lost 10 killed, 69 wounded and 16 missing, its gallant Col. Jackson was carried wounded from the field and Lieut.-Col. Heath was among the killed.  At Rappahannock Station, the regiment was conspicuous for its gallantry, and captured 4 standards of the enemy.  The flags were presented to Gen. Meade, who said: "In the name of the army and the country I thank you for the services you have rendered, particularly for the example you have set and which I doubt not on future occasions will be followed and emulated."  In a gallant charge on the enemy's works at Spotsylvania Court House, more than half of the regiment was lost in crossing an open field subject to a raking fire of canister, but it captured the works, and took 2 flags and a large number of prisoners.  In addition to the 6 captured flags, the 5th had the record of taking more men prisoners than it carried on its own rolls.  It left the front near Petersburg, June 22, 1864, and started for home, arriving in Portland on the 28th with 216 men, who were mustered out of service, July 27, 1864, the veterans and recruits having been transferred to the 7th Me.  During its term of service it had received some 500 recruits.

Thomas White (born 30 April 1984) is an English, Brighton-based musician. Along with their brother, Alex, they form the nucleus of psych-pop band The Electric Soft Parade.

They have released four albums and a six-track EP. They also contributes vocals and guitar to cult Brighton super-group Brakes, and drums and bass to Restlesslist and Clowns. Besides performing solo and in their own groups, White regularly appears as a session player for, among others, Patrick Wolf, British Sea Power, Levellers and Sparks.

Early life
Educated at Davigdor Infants, Somerhill Juniors and Hove Park schools, they signed their first record deal (with DB Records) whilst still 16 and studying for their GCSEs.

Career
June 2008 saw the release of their debut solo album, I Dream of Black. Recorded entirely on cassette four-track, the album was considered extremely lo-fi by both fans and critics alike.

A follow-up, 'The Maximalist' (Cooking Vinyl) arrived in March 2010. Whilst still played, recorded and mixed by White themself, the album features a markedly more complex, hi-fi sound, and a sleeve designed by the American artist, Keith Boadwee. The album was released to generally positive reviews, with Uncut magazine awarding four stars, stating, "The Maximalist opens the dam of ostensibly conflicting styles and releases the deluge in all its crazily self-confident, so-wrong-it's-right glory. White fuses elements of The Who, Chicago, My Bloody Valentine, Queens Of The Stone Age, Badalamenti and Badfinger, which is not just a feat of cut-and-paste engineering, but also proof of his verve, vivid imagination and fervent love of music."

On 26 March 2011, White streamed their third solo album for free via YouTube. Entitled 'Yalla!" (Egyptian Arabic for 'let's go') the album was written and recorded over two weeks in the small town of Dahab, South Sinai. Featuring only acoustic guitar and vocal, the album details the limbo at the end of a long relationship compared to that of moving to a foreign country, making myriad references to the sea, shorelines, water, the sun, colours, the weather, travel and nature. All accompanying videos feature footage taken in Brighton, Dahab and Cairo. "Yalla!" was released physically in the UK and digitally worldwide by Bleeding Heart Recordings in March 2012.

The Armscor AK22 is a semi-automatic .22 LR Kalashnikov rifle designed in 1987 by Ruko Products (later KBI), and sold by Armscor (Arms Corporation of the Philippines). Sales of the AK22 and other .22 LR Armscor rifles were "very strong in the local market", due to a relaxation of gun laws, after the end of martial law under Ferdinand Marcos in 1986.

Design
In order to save costs, the AK22's design is based on the Model 20, a previous .22 LR design by Armscor. The AK22 uses a clamshell which holds the receiver and trigger housing together. The clamshell design increases the weight of the weapon, and requires the usage of a screwdriver in order to be field stripped. The stock, forend and foregrip are all made out of mahogany, which further increased its weight, and made the rifle disproportional, with some gunsmiths choosing to cut them down. It has a  trigger pull.

The AK22F, a variant with a folding stock modeled after the one on the FAL PARA, was also produced to compete with Kalashnikov clones from other countries such as Italy, France, and Germany. It was discontinued in 1995.

Magazines for the AK22 are compatible with other Armscor designs, such as the Armscor M16 22 and Galil-22. 10-, 15-, and 30-round magazines were made, with the 15-round magazine being discontinued some time before 2015.

"Love Don't Live Here" is the debut single recorded by American country music trio Lady Antebellum, released in October 2007 from their self-titled debut album. Although the group had charted along with pop artist Jim Brickman on his 2007 single "Never Alone", this song serves as Lady Antebellum's first release to country radio. It was written by the group's three members (Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley, and Dave Haywood), and features Kelley on lead vocals. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart dated for the week of June 14, 2008.

Background
Kelley describes the song as follows: "I really felt like we found our sound on this song, and I was really proud that it   became our first single since it was one of the first songs that the three of us  wrote together." Producer Victoria Shaw had previously worked with the trio as a co-writer of "Never Alone".

In a 2017 interview with Billboard magazine, Kelley revealed that the song  was written after Scott experienced a breakup and Kelley said "Let's write a song about it".

Content
"Love Don't Live Here" is a mid-tempo country-rock arrangement in which Charles Kelley sings lead vocals. Accompanied by electric guitar and mandolin runs, the song finds the narrator addressing a former lover who has shown up at his door. He tells her that, although she is "passing through to claim [her] lost-and-found", he is emphatically unwilling to rekindle their relationship.  While seemingly she had the upper hand and decided to end the previous relationship, it is clear that now, the narrator has the upper hand, as he emotionally and powerfully declares that he is moving on, and she is no longer welcome in his life.

Music video
The song's music video was filmed and released in December 2007. Chris Hicky directed the video.  Rather than portraying the emotionally powerful content of the song's lyrics, the music video simply chronicles the group's preparation and performance of the song in front of an audience at a small venue. In the aforementioned interview with Billboard magazine, Haywood explained that the music video making process took longer than he expected.

Awards
At the 51st Grammy Awards, "Love Don't Live Here" received a nomination for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. The group itself was nominated for Best New Artist as well.

The following musicians perform on this track:
Bruce Bouton – steel guitar

The Holocaust Educational Trust (HET) is a British charity, based in London, whose aim is to "educate young people of every background about the Holocaust and the important lessons to be learned for today."

One of the Trust's main achievements is ensuring that the Holocaust formed part of the National Curriculum for history.

History and personnel
It was founded by the Labour MP Greville Janner and the former Labour Home Secretary Merlyn Rees in 1988, and is a registered charity in England & Wales
and in Scotland.
Its current chief executive is Karen Pollock, who was awarded an MBE for her services to Holocaust education in 2012.
Its chairman is Paul Phillips and its president is Stephen Rubin. Its honorary patrons include Lord Carey, Lord Dholakia, Lord Mackay of Clashfern and Elie Wiesel.

The charity changed its logo in 2008. It celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2018.

Work

Under its Outreach Programme, the HET arranges visits to schools by Holocaust survivors, often accompanied by one of its own educators. The trust helps several hundred teachers a year to teach more effectively about the Holocaust, including both PGCE students and practising teachers. The trust organises an annual intensive ten-day course in Israel for teachers, in partnership with the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem.

Lessons from Auschwitz Project
The Trust arranges visits to Auschwitz-Birkenau, by UK region, for two sixth-form students from participating schools and colleges. Around 150 students take part in one project at any time. A Guardian reporter who accompanied such a visit in 1999 wrote:Trust members knew from experience, both personal and from the teachers' trip to Auschwitz earlier this year, that this visit would be tough... Seeing one horrendous exhibit after another was relentless and exhausting – many of us ended up numb, stunned, freezing cold. Then we felt awful – how dare we find it too much after a few hours?

In 2006, more than 400 students made such visits. This project is supported by a £1.5 million grant from the Treasury, enabling two students from every secondary school and further education college in Britain to visit Auschwitz each year.
The project involves four stages:
 An Outreach seminar, where participants hear a first-hand testimony of a Holocaust survivor
 A one-day trip to the former concentration and death camp, Auschwitz
 A Follow-Up seminar, where participants reflect on their experience at the camp and begin to plan the final stage of the project
 The Next Steps Project, whereby the two participants create their own project to share with their school or local community to pass on the lessons they have learned from visiting Auschwitz.

On 18 October 2012, the Holocaust Educational Trust marked its 100th Lessons from Auschwitz project trip. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg was among those in attendance.

On 2 May 2013, the Scottish government announced that it will provide £510,000 of additional funding for the Lessons from Auschwitz project over the next two years.

HET Ambassador Programme

On 8 July 2013, a groundbreaking seminar for over 500 young people was held in the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in London to mark the launch of the new Ambassador Programme.
The Trust's Chief Executive, Karen Pollock, describes HET Ambassadors as "young people that have shown a commitment to enabling as many people as possible to benefit from what they have learnt."

The 500 young Ambassadors – who have all participated in the Trust's Lessons from Auschwitz Project – bore witness to speakers including world-renowned historians, Professors Yehuda Bauer and David Cesarani, BBC Political Editor, Nick Robinson and Director of Liberty, Shami Chakrabarti CBE.

As part of the Ambassador Programme, a cohort of 25 Regional Ambassadors (coinciding with the charity's 25th anniversary) were appointed to help strengthen the now 20,000 strong Ambassador community by providing an Ambassador representative for each region in addition to the Trust's Ambassador Outreach Officer. This has secured a visible presence of HET Ambassadors all across the United Kingdom, covering the regions of England (South West, South East, London and Thames Valley Chilterns, Eastern, Yorkshire and Humber and North West, East Midlands, North East, West Midlands), Scotland and Wales.

On the eve of 8 July 2013, after the Ambassador Conference, Regional Ambassadors attended a reception in Speaker's House in the Palace of Westminster, along with MPs, Peers and Supporters of the Trust, to celebrate the launch of the Ambassador Programme. Attendees heard from the Rt. Hon John Bercow MP and Lord Browne of Madingley, the former Chief Executive of BP and head of the Ambassador Programme.
Lord Browne also chaired a steering group with Regional Ambassadors on 9 July 2013 along with Doreen Lawrence OBE, Prof. Yehuda Bauer and Holocaust survivor, Kitty Hart-Moxon, discussing "why and how we remember the Holocaust and how we can communicate its relevance in contemporary British society."

Between 18 and 26 July 2013, for the first time, a select team of young people belonging to the HET Ambassador community attended a seminar in Holocaust Studies at the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.

British Hero of the Holocaust award
From 2008, the Trust campaigned to have British people such as Frank Foley, who had assisted in the rescue of Holocaust victims, posthumously recognised with official British Honours. The Government created the British Hero of the Holocaust medal, awarding it in March 2010 to 25 people posthumously, as well as to Sir Nicholas Winton and Denis Avey.

The Armscor M1700 is a compact, bolt-action hunting rifle chambered for the .17 HMR cartridge. Originally designed for hunting, like its predecessor the Armscor M1600, it is also used for pest-control. Its light weight (6 lb) and short length (40.5 in) make it a comfortable weapon to shoot up to and beyond 300 feet. It comes in either a blue or stainless steel finish, a wood stock, has a 5-round internal magazine, and a thumb-operated trigger block device for a safety. It comes standard with fiber optics front sights and adjustable rear sights and can be mounted with a scope.

Thomas Joseph Kelly  (September 9, 1923 – October 2, 1988) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II.

Biography
Kelly joined the Army from his birthplace of Brooklyn, New York, and by April 5, 1945, was serving as a corporal in the Medical Detachment of the 48th Armored Infantry Battalion, 7th Armored Division. On that day, in Alemert, Germany, he repeatedly exposed himself to hostile fire in order to drag wounded men to safety. For these actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor seven months later, on November 1, 1945.

Kelly reached the rank of sergeant before leaving the Army. Kelly was a graduate of the Fordham Law School and served as president of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. He died at age 65 and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington County, Virginia.

Medal of Honor citation
Corporal Kelly's official Medal of Honor citation reads:
He was an aid man with the 1st Platoon of Company C during an attack on the town of Alemert, Germany. The platoon, committed in a flanking maneuver, had advanced down a small, open valley overlooked by wooded slopes hiding enemy machineguns and tanks, when the attack was stopped by murderous fire that inflicted heavy casualties in the American ranks. Ordered to withdraw, Cpl. Kelly reached safety with uninjured remnants of the unit, but, on realizing the extent of casualties suffered by the platoon, voluntarily retraced his steps and began evacuating his comrades under direct machinegun fire. He was forced to crawl, dragging the injured behind him for most of the 300 yards separating the exposed area from a place of comparative safety. Two other volunteers who attempted to negotiate the hazardous route with him were mortally wounded, but he kept on with his herculean task after dressing their wounds and carrying them to friendly hands. In all, he made 10 separate trips through the brutal fire, each time bringing out a man from the death trap. Seven more casualties who were able to crawl by themselves he guided and encouraged in escaping from the hail of fire. After he had completed his heroic, self-imposed task and was near collapse from fatigue, he refused to leave his platoon until the attack had been resumed and the objective taken. Cpl. Kelly's gallantry and intrepidity in the face of seemingly certain death saved the lives of many of his fellow soldiers and was an example of bravery under fire.

Antwoine Womack (born March 20, 1978) is an American football running back. He played college football at Virginia. He was drafted in the seventh round of the 2002 NFL draft by the New England Patriots.

Early life and education
Womack's football career began at Phoebus High School in Hampton, Virginia, where he was the first football player in school history to have his number retired. He finished his career as the Virginia Group AAA all-time leading rusher with 5,570 yards and was named the state's top football prospect his senior season.

Womack was the subject of an intense recruiting battle between the University of Virginia and Penn State. He chose Penn State, at first. He then changed his mind and decided he wanted to play for Virginia.

He was initially successful at Virginia, backing up all-time leading rusher Thomas Jones and leading the team in rushing in one game.

However, Womack's personal life slowed down his college football career.

Womack's junior season in 2000 was truly his coming-out party (after a year's layoff). He was outstanding in his first season as the Cavaliers' starter, totaling an ACC-best 1,028 yards and nine touchdowns. He earned first-team All-ACC honors for his efforts and received Virginia's Outstanding Offensive Player Award.

The 2001 season was shaping up to be Womack's best at Virginia. However, in the first quarter of the season opener against Wisconsin, he slipped on the wet artificial turf and sprained his ankle and missed several games. Womack returned later in the year for a game against Georgia Tech and helped spark a Virginia comeback. He also led the Virginia comeback against Penn State in his final collegiate game, rushing for 153 yards on 31 carries.

Professional career
Womack entered the NFL by way of the 2002 NFL draft as the 26th selection of the 7th round (pick 237 overall), being selected by the New England Patriots. He spent the 2002 season on injured reserve and did not play due to continuing problems from his 2001 ankle injury.

On August 25, 2003, the Patriots released Womack.

Womack was on the New York Giants roster in 2004. However, after injuring his knee in pre-season practice, the Giants waived him on August 2, 2004. He was listed on the injured reserve list for the New York Giants as of December 31, 2004.
