GOPAC is a Republican (GOP) state and local political training organization. Although often thought of as a PAC, or Political Action Committee, it is actually a 527 organization.

History
GOPAC was founded by Delaware Governor Pierre S. du Pont, IV in 1978 in "an effort to build a farm team of Republican officeholders who could then run for congress or higher state offices later". On February 1, 2007, former Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele became the chairman and served until his election as chairman of the Republican National Committee in January 2009. The current chairman of GOPAC is David Avella.

Others who have chaired GOPAC include former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating, former Georgia Representative and Secretary of the Army Bo Callaway, California Representative David Dreier, Arizona Representative John Shadegg, former Oklahoma Representative J.C. Watts, Gay Gaines, and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich of Georgia.

Instructional tapes used to train aspiring Republican politicians from 1986 to 1994 were selected by the Library of Congress as a 2010 addition to the National Recording Registry for their influence in "shaping political discourse". The Library of Congress selects recordings annually that are "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

GOPAC memo of 1990
Drawing rhetorical inspiration from Newt Gingrich, GOPAC wrote and distributed a memo to Republican Party legislative candidates in 1990. The memo, which came from a list drawn up by Frank Luntz, called "Language: A Key Mechanism of Control", contained a list of "contrasting words" and "optimistic positive governing words" that Gingrich recommended for use in describing Democrats and Republicans, respectively. For example, words to use against opponents include decay, failure (fail), collapse(ing), deeper, crisis, urgent(cy), destructive, destroy, sick, pathetic, lie, radical, liberal, they/them, unionized bureaucracy,  betray, consequences, limit(s), shallow, traitors, sensationalists,"compassion" is not enough; words to use in defining an opposing candidate's own campaign and vision included share, change, opportunity, legacy, challenge, control, truth, moral, courage, reform, prosperity, crusade, movement, children, family, debate, compete, active(ly), we/us/our, candid(ly), humane, pristine, provide.  Al Franken, a comedian and later a U.S. senator from Minnesota, wrote that GOP candidates were drilled to adopt three basic techniques in debating: "Go Negative Early"; "Don't Try to Educate"; "Never Back Off". Minor details were relevant only to 'demolish the opposition'.

The cover page of the memo said: "The words in that paper are tested language from a recent series of focus groups where we actually tested ideas and language."

The comic strip Doonesbury  mentions the memo in a strip, calling it the "Magna Carta
of attack politics."

The Big 12 Conference Men's Basketball Coach of the Year is a basketball award given to the most outstanding men's basketball head coach in the Big 12 Conference, as chosen by a panel of sports writers and broadcasters. The award was first given following the 1996–97 season, the first year of the conference's existence, to Kansas Jayhawks head coach Roy Williams.

As of 2020, current Kansas Jayhawks head coach Bill Self has won the award six times, leading the league. Four other head coaches, have won the award twice. The voting finished in a tie in 2011–12, with Self and Iowa State Cyclones head coach Fred Hoiberg sharing honors.

Three coaches have won Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year in the same season that they have also won a National Coach of the Year Award, Roy Williams, Larry Eustachy and Bill Self. The Kansas Jayhawks has the most Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year Awards with six while the Texas Longhorns are second with four. The only current members that have never had a coach win are Oklahoma and TCU. Three former Big 12 members, Colorado (which will return in 2024), Missouri, and Nebraska, also never had a winner.

Tall Maḥrā was a small city of the central Balikh River valley, in what is now northern Syria, inhabited from the Hellenistic period until about the 13th century. It is identified with the 21-hectare tell now called Tall Shaykh Hasan, also romanized as Tell Sheikh Hasan. Karin Bartl did a survey of the site's ceramics in the 1990s, and the Syrian Antiquities Service also conducted excavations here by digging a few test trenches. Tall Mahra peaked under the Abbasid Caliphate, when it was the main town between Raqqa and Hisn Maslama on the way to Harran. It is best known as the birthplace of Dionysius I Telmaharoyo, the 9th-century Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch.

The oldest pottery fragments found at Tall Mahra date from the Hellenistic period. Later, it formed a Christian settlement under the Byzantine Empire. The Late Roman/Byzantine settlement (from the 3rd/4th until 7th centuries) covered perhaps 7 ha. The only remains found from this period were two mud-brick walls, covered in lime plaster, under a street on the eastern side of the tell. These walls were probably also used during the Umayyad period. A few 7th-century Byzantine coins were also found at the site.

Like other sites in the region, Tall Mahra underwent significant expansion during the Abbasid period. This was likely prompted by Harun al-Rashid moving his court to Raqqa in 796, which created a new demand for agricultural produce and stimulated the region's economy in general. Under the Abbasids, Tall Mahra expanded to a size of 21 hectares. This was its greatest extent, and Abbasid potsherds cover the entire tell.  

Fragments of the city's stone walls are visible from the surface; they presumably date from the Abbasid period. They enclose an almost perfectly square area of 450x450m. The walls contain projecting half-towers, similar in design to the ones at al-Rafiqah in Raqqah, except these ones serve virtually zero defensive purpose. They instead seem to have been "symbols of urban pride and wealth in [a] small rural town". In addition to the monumental walls, Tall Mahra had a church, a small mosque, and a quadriburgium of unknown function. Also, above the Byzantine mud-brick walls on the east side, a series of stone buildings was built during the Abbasid period. These were perhaps used as shops.

The latest dated items found at Tall Mahra are from the 11th-13th centuries. The 13th-century geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi described Tall Mahra as a fortified town with a market lying between Raqqa and Hisn Maslama.

Near the site of Tall Mahra is Tell Shahin, a tell covering 13.6 hectares that was inhabited at a roughly similar time: from early Abbasid times until the Ayyubid era.

Clive Gartner is an Australian former rugby league footballer who played in the 1950s and 1960s.  He played for Canterbury-Bankstown in the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) competition.

Background
Gartner played his junior rugby league for Belmore before joining Canterbury in 1956.

Playing career
Gartner initially played reserve grade for Canterbury occasionally being called up to the first grade side.  Gartner played in the 1960 semi final loss against Eastern Suburbs.  Gartner missed both the 1961 and 1962 seasons due to a shoulder injury.  He returned to the first team in 1963 but missed the entire 1964 season due to a broken jaw. The 1964 season also finished for a wooden spoon as the club finished last.

Gartner made 21 appearances for Canterbury in 1967 as the club reached the grand final after years of struggling on the field.  On their way to making the final, Canterbury defeated St George 12–11 at the Sydney Cricket Ground in the preliminary final ending St George's 11 year premiership reign.

Gartner played on the wing in the 1967 NSWRL grand final as Souths took an early lead.   Canterbury then regained the lead to be ahead 8-5 until Canterbury hooker Col Brown tried a looping pass which was intended to find fullback Les Johns only for Souths player Bob McCarthy to intercept the ball and race away to score a try.  Souths then went on to kick a late goal to win the match 12–10.  Gartner played one final season for Canterbury in 1968 before retiring.  In total, Gartner made 152 appearances for Canterbury across all grades.

Post playing
Gartner went on to coach the lower grade sides at Canterbury including the Under 23 side.  Gartner later became a life member of the club and was nominated for the Berries to Bulldogs 70 Year Team of Champions.
