Bill, who besides fighting a losing battle with the decrepit building also mans the projector, consulted with you personally this afternoon, as one of their best (only) customers, to make sure it would be a good show.
Fortunately, Bill always carries a flashlight in his toolbelt; flicking it on, he hurries over to the cluster of moviegoers, you and Jake trailing behind.

  Between The Lines
Budge's forehand was essentially learned, not natural, but it came to near his backhand in its accuracy and force.
Budge was clearly the pro champion, confirming his primacy ahead of Vines by ample head-to-head results and ahead of Nusslein by Don's close win over Hanne at Wembley.
Budge, who was four years younger, had taken away his pro tennis crown, and Elly had previously spoken disdain for "just hanging around." Although there would be occasional tennis engagements in the future, nearly all Vines's time and energy thereafter were for golf.

Meanwhile, my good friend Bill Budge, who was an amazing Apple II games programmer, came up with an incredibly fast way to draw proportional text on the Apple II graphics screen, using seven pre-shifted tables.
Bill Atkinson had told Steve that you couldn't pull off a decent graphical user interface on the Apple II because of the weakness of its 6502 processor and the complexity of Woz's convoluted frame buffer.
Steve made a deal with Bill Budge that eventually resulted in MousePaint, a MacPaint clone for the Apple II which was bundled with the mouse card.

When I returned to Florida, I was aghast that I had been billed on another plan, not the one rate international, for a total of $428.26.
A bill that should have been in the vicinity of $13 was $133.21.
She promised to put me on the correct plan, backdated to Dec. 25 (which didn't help with the first two bills), and gave me 120 free minutes, for three or six months, for my "inconvenience." I was told I would hear from AT&T within five days and given a confirmation number.

 Home Computer Games: Micro Pinball Wizardry
Serious pinball simulations began with Bill Budge's Raster Blaster for the Apple, which became one of the most popular programs of 1981.
Budge showed that a pinball simulation could be refined to a point where it carries nearly all the excitement of the real game.
Budge took the concept of configurability a step further--he wrote a program enabling the user to easily design entirely original pinball machines--and save them to disk.

This game was one of the earliest efforts by a budding Apple II programmer named Bill Budge, before he achieved fame as the author of Pinball Construction Set.
At the time, Budge was experimenting with interchangeable modules that could be slotted into the code of any number of games, including one for smoothly rotating 3-D wireframe objects - well, smoothly where the Apple II was concerned.
Originally released by Budge himself, Tranquility Base was later re-released by a company that took over the catalog of small-time "edutainment" software distributor Edu-Ware (also the home of such cult classics as The Prisoner and Prisoner 2.

 Veto of Iraq spending bill forces Democrats to weigh concessions - News
The Democrats who control Capitol Hill, and their Republican counterparts, were due at the White House Wednesday afternoon for discussions with the president, just after a planned attempt in the House -sure to fail- to override Bush's veto.
Hoyer was reluctant to say exactly what the bill will look like, but said he anticipates a minimum-wage increase will be part of it.
He also said the bill should fund combat through Sept. 30 as Bush has requested, casting doubt that Democratic leaders would adopt a proposal by Rep. John Murtha, R-Pa., to fund the war two or three months at a time.

The bill has passed the U.S. House, but the greens in the Senate won’t let the bill budge.

The victory on the deficit-control bill came hours after an embarrassing and rare defeat on a $602 billion spending bill for education, health care and job training programs this year.
The broader budget bill would slice almost $50 billion from the deficit by the end of the decade by curbing rapidly growing benefit programs such as on health care, food coupons and student loan subsidies.
Both bills are part of a campaign by Republican leaders to burnish their party's budget-cutting credentials as they try to reduce a deficit swelled by spending on the Iraq war and Hurricane Katrina.

 JURIST - Paper Chase: Congress abandons effort to split Ninth Circuit
House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner had introduced legislation [HR 4093 text], which was included in the house version of the deficit-cutting bill, that would have created a Ninth Circuit that would cover California, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, and a new 12th Circuit covering Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Arizona.
A similar circuit-splitting proposal [S. 1301 bill summary] was considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee but was not included in the Senate budge bill and Republican leaders ultimately decided to drop the proposal during a conference committee.
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, called the decision a victory [press release], saying "The plan to split the 9th Circuit was a politically driven attempt to intrude on the constitutionally mandated independence of the federal judiciary." Tuesday's San Francisco Chronicle has more.

JoAn Wood, R-Rigby, the bill’s lead sponsor, told the panel that tribes promised last year to negotiate with the governor over fuel taxes, and just because the state’s had three governors since then is no excuse for not having reached agreements.
The bill sets a cutoff date of Dec. 1 – if tribes and the governor haven’t reached agreements by then, the tribes lose and the state imposes its state gas tax on reservation fuel sales.
The committee then began a hearing on HB 245, the personal property tax elimination bill, but had time for only two people to testify before it, too, was put off to tomorrow.
