Randall S. Harmon (July 19, 1903 - August 18, 1982) was a U.S. Representative from Indiana.

Harmon was born in North Vernon, Indiana and he graduated from North Vernon High School. Harmon also took extension courses in law and tool engineering. He was employed as a tool engineer with Delco Battery Operations in Muncie, Indiana from 1933 to 1959.

Harmon ran for Congress seven times from 1944 to 1956, running from 1944 to 1952 as a Republican and in 1954 and 1956 as a Democrat. He failed to win a Congressional primary once during this time.

Due to the Democratic party’s landslide victory in the 1958 Congressional elections, Harmon was elected to Congress, defeating incumbent Ralph Harvey. During his term in office, Harmon attracted controversy by putting his wife on the Congressional payroll and declaring his front porch a Congressional district office. Harmon also explored the possibility of running for President in 1960, but he refused to spend money on such a candidacy, and never proceeded to run. Harmon won his primary with 30% of the vote in a field of nine candidates. In the general election, he campaigned with a replica of a front porch on a truck , Harmon lost his bid for re-election in 1960 to Ralph Harvey.

After leaving office, Harmon campaigned for Congress in 1962. He then attempted to run for Congress in 1964, but he filed for Congress and the Delaware County Council, and the state ruled that he could run for neither office . Harmon then ran for Congress eight more times from 1968 to 1982, failing to get out of the primary once, before dying in August 1982.

Pumari Chhish, (or Pumarikish, Peak 11) is a high peak of the Hispar Muztagh, a subrange of the Karakoram range. It lies about 4km east of Khunyang Chhish, in the heart of the Hispar, north of the Hispar Glacier.

Pumari Chhish was first attempted by an Austrian group in 1974, who failed to climb or bypass the Yazghil Glacier on the north side of the peak. In 1979, a Japanese group from the Hokkaido Alpine Association succeeded in climbing the mountain via a long route starting from the Khunyang Glacier, well to the west of the peak. They first had to cross a significant col to access the upper Yazghil Glacier; they then ascended the north ridge of Pumari Chhish.

According the Himalayan Index, there have been no other successful ascents of Pumari Chhish, and only one other attempt, on the south face, in 1999.

Mount Hobson (Remuwera in M?ori) is a volcano cone of the Auckland Volcanic Field in Auckland, New Zealand.

Located in the Remuera suburb, to the east of the Newmarket commercial suburb, it has been extensively modified by human use, first by M?ori use as a P? (fortification) and later by being used as a quarry, pasture land and having its top transformed into a water reservoir for the surrounding area.

William Murray Werber (born June 20, 1908) is a former third baseman in Major League Baseball who played for the New York Yankees (1930, 1933), Boston Red Sox (1933-1936), Philadelphia Athletics (1937-1938), Cincinnati Reds (1939-1941) and New York Giants (1942). He led American League third basemen in putouts and assists once each, and also led National League third basemen in assists, double plays and fielding percentage once each. A strong baserunner, he led the AL in stolen bases three times and led the NL in runs in 1939 as the Reds won the pennant. He was born in Berwyn Heights, Maryland and batted and threw right-handed.

A 5′10″, 170-pound infielder, Werber was at spring training and toured for several weeks in July with the Yankees in 1927. He returned to North Carolina to attend school at Duke University, where he was the first Duke basketball player to earn All-America honors. He is a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He played with Duke in spring and semi-pro ball in summers until 1930 when he officially becoming a Yankee rookie in 1930. He appeared in only four games that season, and was sent to the minors. In his first game he reached base five times including his first at bat where, according to Ford Frick (then a sportswriter, later commissioner of baseball): “Werber, in his first time at bat in big league competition, with two strikes on him watched the next four balls with the coolness of a veteran.” In 1933, Frankie Crosetti was the obvious choice as the Yankees’ shortstop, and with Tony Lazzeri at second base and Joe Sewell on third, Werber was expendable. Then, after playing only three games he was sold to the Boston Red Sox. The rest of the year he appeared in 108 games with Boston as a utility infielder at shortstop, second and third bases.

In 1934, Werber became the starting third baseman of the Red Sox. He responded with a career-high .321 batting average, including 200 hits; led the American League with 40 stolen bases, and posted double digits in doubles (41), triples (10) and home runs (11). He led the league in stolen bases in 1935 (29) and 1937 (35). Boston traded him to the Philadelphia Athletics for the 1937 season, and he joined the Cincinnati Reds in 1939.

In his first National League season, Werber became the first player ever to bat on television during a game between Cincinnati and the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field (August 26, 1939). He ended with a .289 average in 147 games and led the league with 115 runs as Cincinnati faced the Yankees in the 1939 World Series, losing in four games. The next season belonged to Werber and the Reds, though, and although his batting numbers were generally down from 1939, he led the league with a .962 fielding average and finished 10th in voting for the NL’s MVP Award. The 1940 World Series was the only Series in a six-year span that the Yankees did not win. Cincinnati beat the Detroit Tigers in seven games as Werber led his team with a .370 average (10-for-27). After that, he played with the New York Giants in 1942, his last major league season.

In an 11-season career, Werber was a .271 hitter with 78 home runs and 539 RBI in 1,295 games. One of the most aggressive baserunners of the 1930s, probably the most aggressive next to Ben Chapman, he stole 215 bases. He was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 1961.

Werber had a very successful business career following his retirement from baseball. He began selling pension plans, and his work ethic and good communication skills yielded outstanding results. He ultimately oversaw the operations of the Werber Insurance Agency, started by his father in 1904. He was a top producer until his retirement in the early 1970s. He retired to Naples, Florida, but now lives in a retirement home in Charlotte, North Carolina. Werber authored three books over the years; “Circling the Bases”, “Hunting is for the Birds” and at age 96 saw his last book published, “Memories of a Ballplayer”. He no longer watches baseball; one of his stated reasons is that he was dismayed to see Johnny Damon’s long hair and beard. In 2008, Werber said, “I don’t like the appearance of a lot of the players. The hair’s too long. Their beards are too evident. They’re a grubby-looking bunch of caterwaulers.” As of 2008, Werber (100) is recognized as the oldest living major league ballplayer; he is the oldest living World Series player, and is also the oldest living former player for either the Yankees or the Red Sox. He is also the final surviving teammate of Babe Ruth, as well as the last player to play against Ruth while he was with the Yankees.

Billy Werber was interviewed by Lawrence Ritter in 1963 as part of his research for his book The Glory of Their Times; these interview tapes are available.

Dark Horse Comics is one of the largest independent American comic book publishers, behind dominant publishers Marvel Comics and DC Comics.

Mike Richardson, the owner of several comic book shops in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area, began to publish in 1986 with an anthology series called Dark Horse Presents, investing profits from his stores into Dark Horse Comics. The publisher is based in Milwaukie, Oregon.

Overview

Dark Horse publishes many licensed comics, including comics based on Star Wars, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Aliens, and Who Wants to be a Superhero? Dark Horse also publishes creator owned comics such as Frank Miller’s Sin City and 300, Mike Mignola’s Hellboy, Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo, Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira and Michael Chabon’s The Escapist. From 1993-1996, Dark Horse published a line of superhero comics under the Comics Greatest World imprint, which was later re-named Dark Horse Heroes. After 1996, publication in this line came to a near halt, ceasing production of any books concerning the characters with the publication of the last crossover books involving Ghost, in the early 2000s. Today, the comic arm of the company flourishes despite no longer having their own universe of superpowered characters.

Dark Horse’s film arm, Dark Horse Entertainment, produces films based on Dark Horse Comics, including The Mask and Hellboy.

Their DH Press imprint publishes novelizations of their more popular comic book titles, including Aliens and Predator.
