UNBELIEVABLE! STUNNING NEWS ABOUT USCjr:


Aug 29, 2012, 11:26 AM

A longtime, close friend, who is associated with a major news service here in Columbia, just contacted me, relating a startling article being prepared for immediate distribution to major news outlets. The story will include the following:

State of South Carolina engineers and the USC-retained firm of Upton, Sinclair, Collins and Smith of Utica City, KS have determined that "critically-serious flaws" in foundation supports of the east stands in Williams Brice Stadium in Columbia threaten imminent collapse and have informed university officials that they will seek condemnation proceedings with state offices immediately.
The inspections were initiated after repeated public complaints about swaying within the stands, which university officials believed to have been corrected through the addition of shock absorbers more than 20 years ago.
Chief engineers, W.E. Smith, Theo I. Lampkin, L.O. Wilson, Nate Upton and Samuel Collins have issued a warning to university officials that they will seek "immediate condemnation proceedings" due to their belief that the "critical necessity is to protect the public from an imminent collapse" that would affect the entire stadium.
University officials have called an emergency meeting in Columbia later today to address the report.

I'll post further news as it develops.

In order for the simple minded to catch on to the art of 'capitalization for accentuation,' one must make the subject boring. Others attempt to bring focus to the first letter of each line which I find most interesting. Thanks to The Governator we have an fine example of this.
