This article originally appeared in "Native American Research" by Curt B. Witcher, MLS, FUGA, FIGS, and George J. Nixon in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
The Anadarko Area Office, established in 1948, is essentially a continuation of the Kiowa Agency, which was created in 1864 and permanently located in Indian Territory in 1869.<ref>Hill, Guide to Records in the National Archives, 6, 148.</ref>
Located at Anadarko, Oklahoma, the Anadarko Area Office administers Bureau of Indian Affairs programs for the regions of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri and is responsible for the following agencies in Oklahoma: Anadarko, Concho, Pawnee, Shawnee, Concho Indian School, Riverside Indian School, Fort Sill Maintenance and Security Detachment, and the Chilocco Maintenance and Security Detachment.
The records, 1881'1952, include general correspondence and correspondence concerning lands, heirship, town sites, and schools; accounts and case files for individual Indians; land transactions files; annuity payrolls; annual reports; student records; and records of employees.<ref>Klein, Reference Encyclopedia of the American Indian, 91.</ref>

Anadarko Agency
The Anadarko Agency, located at Anadarko, Oklahoma, has jurisdiction over the Apache, Kiowa, Comanche, Caddo, Delaware, and Wichita tribes.<ref>Ibid.</ref>
The Apaches of Oklahoma are also called the Prairie Apache, a name applied to them through error on the assumption that they were the same as the Apache people of Arizona. They have no political connection with the Apache tribes of the Southwest, however. They came from the north as a component part of the Kiowa. More recent authorities, however, believe that the Apaches did divide somewhere in Montana, with the main body going southward on the west side of the mountains and a smaller body going northward to become allied on the east side of the mountains with the Kiowas. Whichever theory is correct, the Apaches have a distinct language and call themselves Nadishdewa, or 'our people.' The Pawnees and early French explorers and settlers called them Gattacka or Gataka, and these names appeared on the first treaty they signed with the United States.<ref>Confederation of American Indians, Indian Reservations, 213.</ref>
The Caddos were first known to have been in the Louisiana Territory and were referred to in the chronicles of the DeSoto expedition in 1541. Soon after the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory, a peace treaty was made in which the Caddos ceded all their Louisiana lands and agreed to move to the Indian Territory, settling on the Washita River in what is now Caddo County. The present Caddo tribe also includes remnants of the Anadarko tribe.<ref>Ibid., 214.</ref>
The Comanches were one of the southern tribes of the Shoshonean stock and the only one to live entirely on the Plains. They are a comparatively recent offshoot of the Shoshonis of Wyoming and, until recently, kept in continual friendly communication with them.
For nearly two centuries they were at war with the Spaniards in Mexico and raided Mexican settlements as far south as Durango and Zacatecas. Generally friendly to the Americans, they were bitter enemies of the Texans, who had dispossessed them of their best hunting grounds, and they waged relentless war against them for almost forty years. Around 1795, they became close confederates of the Kiowas and also allied themselves with the Apaches.
Several treaties were consummated between the United States and the Comanche Tribe between 1834 and 1875. In the Treaty of Medicine Lodge in 1867, the Comanche, Apache, and Kiowa tribes were assigned a tract of land in Oklahoma, which they still share.<ref>Ibid., 222.</ref>
The Delawares call themselves Lenape, meaning 'real men,' or Leni Lenape, meaning 'men of our nation.' The English name Delaware was given to the tribe from the Delaware River, the valley which was the tribal center in earliest colonial times. The valley extends from southeastern New York into Pennsylvania through New Jersey and Delaware. The early traditional history of the Delaware is contained in the nation legend, the Walam Olum.
The Delawares were once one of the larger tribes of the eastern woodland people. Gradually, they moved west and were located in at least ten different states during this migration. At present, two groups of Delawares live in Oklahoma. The main part of the tribe, known as Registered Delaware, came from their reservation in Kansas in 1867 and settled with the Cherokees and were allotted land with them. The other group, still a district Delaware tribe, was associated with the Caddo and Wichita tribes in Texas and came to the Washita River in Indian Territory in 1859. A number of Delaware moved and associated with other tribes in the north and northwestern country. Approximately 750 Delawares are called Absentee Delawares.<ref>Ibid.</ref>
Fort Sill Apache
The Fort Sill Apaches are composed of members of the Warm Springs Band of Apache and the Chiricahua Apache. This small group of Indians is often referred to as Chief Geronimo's Band of Apache. According to older members of this group, Victorio, chief of the Apache, led a group of forty warriors in protesting the tribe's being moved from their New Mexico reservation to one located at San Carlos, Arizona. Upon Victorio's death at the hands of a band of Mexicans in Chihuahua, Mexico, Geronimo assumed leadership of the group. He carried on warfare until August 1886, when Gen. Nelson A. Miles forced him to surrender. Geronimo and all of his band were taken as prisoners of war to Fort Marion, Florida, near St. Augustine.
Because of many deaths and much sickness in the tribe, the government removed them to Mount Vernon Barracks, Alabama, where they were kept prisoner for seven years. On 4 October 1894, Geronimo and the remnants of his band, then about 296 in all, were moved from Alabama to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. They remained at the Fort Sill Military Reservation as nominal prisoners of war until 1913, when the government arranged to allot an eighty-acre tract of land to each member who desired to remain in Oklahoma. Those who wished to move to the Mescalero Reservation in New Mexico could do so, and only eighty-seven stayed in Oklahoma and were given allotments of land in or near what is now the town of Apache.<ref>Ibid., 223-34.</ref>
The Kiowa are believed to have migrated from the mountain regions at the source of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers in what is now western Montana. According to tradition, they left this region because of a dispute with another tribe over hunting spoils and moved to the Black Hills in present-day South Dakota. Toward the end of the eighteenth century, the Kiowa were driven south by the Sioux, finally settling in the area of present western Oklahoma and the panhandle of north Texas and west into part of New Mexico.
Early in their history, they formed an alliance with a small band of Apache which continues today in Oklahoma. In 1790, having made peace with their one-time enemies, the Comanches, they established control of the area from the Arkansas River to the headwaters of the Red River, and the two tribes became masters of the southern Plains. This alliance appears to be the basis for both the Kiowa-Apache-Comanche alliance of today and also the Kiowa-Comanche Reservation in Oklahoma, where the two tribes were settled by the United States. In 1840, the Kiowas made a permanent peace with the Cheyenne and their allies, the Arapahos, and became friendly with the Wichitas.
Throughout the nineteenth century, the Kiowas continually resisted white immigration along the overland trails. With the Comanche, they attacked Texas frontier settlements, extending their raids far south into Mexico. Treaties with the U.S. government beginning in 1837 had little effect, and the tribe continued fighting. After the Battle of Washita in 1868, the Kiowas, Apaches, and Comanches were forced onto a reservation near Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Their defiance continued, however, and only military defeat and the disappearance of the buffalo ended their resistance.<ref>Ibid., 227.</ref>
The treaty of Medicine Lodge Creek, Kansas (15 Stat., 581 and 15 Stat., 589), concluded on 21 October 1868 between the United States and the Kiowas, Comanche, and Kiowa-Apache, provided for a reservation in Indian Territory to be located between the Washita and Red rivers. This was a modification and reduction of a reservation established by a treaty of 18 October 1865 (Stat. L, xiv, 717) with the Comanche and Kiowa.
In 1868, an agent was sent to Indian Territory to bring together the Kiowas, Comanches, and Apaches who wished to abide by their treaty commitments. Progress was made, and the following year, a new agent arrived at the agency headquarters near Fort Sill. When he assumed control on 1 July 1869, he found himself in charge of the Wichita Agency as well. That agency had been established in July 1859 on the south side of the Washita River near Sugar Creek in an area long claimed by the Wichita. The agency served the Kiowa, Caddo, and Kichai. Later Waco, Tawakoni, Anadarko, Ionie (Hainai), Tonkawa, and some Penateka Comanche, Delaware, and Shawnee groups became part of this agency. During a brief interval in the 1870s, some of the Pawnees from Nebraska made their home at this agency before moving to their new reservation.
In 1870, the agency, properly called the Caddo, Wichita, and Affiliated Bands Agency, became independent. Although some of the tribes had long resided in the region, it was not until 19 October 1872 that an agreement (never ratified) established a reservation for Wichitas and affiliated bands between the Washita and Canadian rivers, northeast and adjacent to the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache reservation.
In the decade following 1868, the Kiowa-Comanche Agency remained in operation near Fort Sill. On 1 September 1878, that agency and the Wichita Agency were again consolidated. At that time, instructions were given to move the agency from Fort Sill to the Wichita Agency near the present town of Anadarko. The office at Fort Sill served as a subagency for a number of years.
In 1894, Geronimo and a group of Chiricahua Apache prisoners of war who had formerly been at Fort Marion, Florida, and Mount Vernon Barracks, Alabama, were brought to Fort Sill. In 1913, eighty-seven of them elected to remain in Oklahoma rather than return to the Mescalero Apache reservation in New Mexico. They were allotted land near the town of Apache.
The allotment of the Kiowas, Comanches, and Apaches was completed in 1901 after several years of their attempting to prevent the dissolution of their reservation and eventual use of surplus land for white settlement. The Wichita and other tribes of the original Wichita agency group were allotted lands before 6 August 1901, when their surplus lands as well as those of the Kiowas, Comanches, and Apaches were opened for white settlement.<ref>Records of the Kiowa Agency, introduction, reel KA-1 (Indian Archives Division, Oklahoma Historical Society).</ref>
Tradition indicates that the Wichita tribe migrated southward from the north and east. In 1850, the Wichitas had moved from near the Red River into the Wichita Mountains region, with their main village a short distance from what is now Fort Sill, Oklahoma. In 1859, the Wichita moved to a permanent site south of the Canadian River near the present Caddo-Grady county line. A reservation consisting of 743,610 acres and known as the Wichita-Caddo Reservation was established in 1872.<ref>Confederation of American Indians, Indian Reservations, 242.</ref>

Concho Agency'Cheyenne and Arapaho
The earliest known evidence of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes dates from 1600 and places the Arapaho east of the headwaters of the Mississippi River in Minnesota and the Cheyenne in southwestern and northern Minnesota. The two tribes have long been associated, having wandered in the same direction and fought jointly for defense, yet they were separate tribes and were politically independent. With the westward push of settlers, the Cheyenne and Arapaho moved west and adopted a lifestyle that evolved into the culture of the Plains Indians. Their wandering led them to North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, Kansas, and Colorado. In about 1835, portions separated from the main body became known as the Southern Cheyenne and Southern Arapaho. In 1869, the Cheyenne and Arapaho were assigned a reservation in Oklahoma, and the Darlington Agency was established in 1870 to serve them.<ref>Records of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency, introduction, reel CAA-1 (Indian Archives Division, Oklahoma Historical Society).</ref>
A treaty between the United States and the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes, 28 October 1867 (Stat. L., xv, 593), provided for a reservation in what is now Oklahoma for the Southern Cheyenne and Southern Arapaho Indians. In 1869, a temporary agency was established at Camp Supply, Indian Territory. The location of the reservation was altered by executive order on 10 August 1869, and in May 1879, the agency was moved to a site five miles northwest of the present town of El Reno.
From 1869 through 1874, this agency, called the Upper Arkansas Agency, was under the Central Superintendency, Office of Indian affairs. In 1875 its name was changed to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency. This designation has remained to the present day.
In 1877, several bands of Northern Cheyenne numbering 927 people were brought to Darlington in Indian Territory. Another contingent of approximately two hundred reached Darlington in 1878. In 1881, Little Chief's band was allowed to move to Pine Ridge Agency in Dakota Territory. In September 1883, the last of the Northern Cheyenne wishing to remove to their old home arrived at Pine Ridge Agency. The records of these Northern Cheyenne for the time they were at the southern agency remain in the files of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency. On 30 November 1902 a 'subagency' was established at Cantonment in Indian Territory. Part of the agency's affairs came under the supervision of the head of the Cantonment Indian Training School, with headquarters at the school three miles northwest of Canton. Another portion was assigned to the superintendent of Seger Indian Training School located at Colony. The remainder of the agency was under the direction of the Cheyenne and Arapaho School superintendent at the old agency headquarters at Darlington. By December 1909, a further division created the Red Moon Agency located at the Red Moon School at Hammon.
In March 1910, the removal of the Darlington Agency to Caddo Springs was authorized. The move was completed in May 1915, and the agency's name changed to the Concho Agency. On 9 April 1917, the consolidation of the Red Moon Agency with the Seger Agency was accomplished. The next reorganization took place in 1927. At that time the Seger Agency was abolished, and the Cantonment Agency became part of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency at Cantonment.<ref>Ibid.</ref>

Pawnee Agency
The Pawnee Agency, located at Pawnee, Oklahoma, has jurisdiction over the Kaw, Pawnee, Ponca, Otoe-Missouria, and Tonkawa tribes.<ref>Klein, Reference Encyclopedia of the American Indian, 92.</ref>
The Pawnee Agency was the last name given the agency responsible for the affairs of the following various tribes from 1870 to 1930. The agencies and subagencies that had jurisdiction over the several tribes through the years changed locations and names and are as follows: Osage Agency; Kaw Agency; Kaw Subagency; Pawnee Agency; Pawnee Subagency; Ponca, Otoe and Oakland Agency; Ponca, Pawnee, Oakland and Otoe Agency; Ponca Subagency; Otoe Subagency; Tonkawa Subagency; and reservation schools whose superintendents were placed in charge of school and tribal affairs.<ref>Records of the Pawnee Agency.</ref>
According to tradition, the Kaws, Osages, Poncas, Omahas, and Quapaws were one people who lived along the Wabash River and far up the Ohio. Pushed westward by the encroachment of superior forces, they split at the mouth of the Ohio River. Those going down the Mississippi River took the name Quapaw, or 'downstream people.' They later divided into four tribes: Kaw, Osage, Ponca, and Omaha. By terms of the treaties with the United States from 1820 to 1846, the Kaws relinquished their claims to several million acres in Kansas and Nebraska. A new reservation was assigned to them in 1846 at Council Grove on the Neosho River in Kansas. These lands were finally overrun by white settlers. In 1872, the tract was sold, and a new reserve was purchased for the tribe near the Osages in Indian Territory. In 1902, that reservation was allotted under law to the tribal membership.<ref>Confederation of American Indians, Indian Reservations, 225.</ref>
The Kaw (Kansas) Reservation was established by act of Congress on 5 June 1872 (Stat. L., xvii, 228) and consisted of 100,141 acres of the Osage reserve located to the west of that reservation, east of the Arkansas River and adjoining the Kansas border. In July 1874, the affairs of the 523 Kaws were handled by the Osage Agency. Living on their own reservation, they continued under this supervision until 1876, when the superintendent of the Central Superintendency said that the Kaw Agency was a district agency but that the Osage agent handled its affairs. In 1879, the Osage Agency title was changed to Osage and Kaw Agency. The name was changed the next year to the Osage Agency and continued as such until 1886, when the tribal affairs were managed by two agencies again, with the Kaws under the supervision of the superintendent of the Kaw School. In 1887'88, the title was changed to the Kaw Subagency; a clerk-in-charge supervised its business. By an act of Congress ratified on 1 July 1902 (Stat. 32, 636), the tribe agreed to allotment of its reservation.
In 1904, the Kaw Reservation and agency were completely separated from the Osage Agency and placed under a bonded superintendent. In 1912, Kaw affairs were transferred to the management of the Ponca School superintendent. In 1913'14, the Kaw farmer (a government employee who lived on the reservation and assisted the Indians in their farming) reported on Kaw Agency affairs. The Kaw School was abolished in 1915, and in 1922, tribal affairs supervision was given to the Pawnee School superintendent at the Pawnee Agency at Pawnee.<ref>Records of the Pawnee Agency.</ref>
According to tradition, the people later known as the Otoes, along with their relatives the Winnebagos and the Iowas, once lived in the Great Lakes region. In a prehistoric migration southwest in search of buffalo, they separated. The division that reached the mouth of the Grand River, a branch of the Missouri, called themselves Niutachi and soon separated into two bands because of a quarrel between two of their chiefs. One band went up the Missouri and became known as the Otoe, and the other band stayed near the first settlement and was called the Missouria. From 1817 to 1841, the Otoes lived near the mouth of the Platte River. Since 1829, the Missourias have been absorbed by the Otoes, and the two are now indistinguishable.
On 15 March 1854, the Otoe-Missourias signed a treaty ceding all their lands except for a strip ten miles wide and twenty-five miles long on the waters of Big Blue River, but when it was found that there was no timber on this tract, it was exchanged for another tract taken from the Kaws (Kansas). In a treaty signed 15 August 1876 and amended 3 March 1879, they agreed to sell 120,000 acres of the western end of the reserve. Finally, a treaty signed on 3 March 1881 provided for the sale of all the rest of their lands in Kansas and Nebraska and for the selection of a new reservation. Consent to the treaty was recorded on 4 May, and the tribe moved the following year to the new reservation, which was in Indian Territory.<ref>Confederation of American Indians, Indian Reservations, 233.</ref>
The Otoe Reservation was established by act of Congress on 3 March 1881 (Stat. L. xxi, 381) and consisted of 129,113 acres west of the Pawnee Reservation and south of the Ponca Reservation in Indian Territory. The tribes were removed from the Great Nemaha Agency in Nebraska to the Otoe Agency in 1882 and later placed under the consolidated Ponca, Pawnee, and Otoe Agency in 1883. The Missouri Indians had been a separate tribe until 1829, when many of them joined the Otoes. By 1885, only forty individuals were designated as Missouri. The Absentee Otoes were a group who refused to live at the new agency and went to live at the Sac and Fox Agency for some years. In 1886, the main agency's name was changed to the Ponca, Pawnee, Otoe, and Oakland Agency, and the Otoes and Missouris were under its supervision for many years. Their subagency was on the Otoe Reservation.
In the 1890s, the tribes resisted allotment; it was completed slowly, often with arbitrary assignment of land by the allotting agent. In 1896, the allotment schedule was in the secretary of the interior's office, unapproved. In 1897, the allotment process was repeated, with continued opposition from tribal members. In 1904, additional allotments were made (Stat. 33, 218). In 1902, the Pawnee Agency was separated from the Ponca, Pawnee, Otoe, and Oakland Agency, and the Otoe superintendent became responsible for the Otoe School and tribal affairs. In 1904, the Otoe and Missouri Agency was segregated from the Ponca Agency and the Otoe Reservation lines abolished. The two eastern townships became part of Pawnee County, and the balance of the reservation area became Noble County. Later the tribe became part of the Ponca Agency.<ref>Records of the Pawnee Agency.</ref>
The prehistoric origins of the Pawnees are still largely a mystery. Archeological studies indicate that the tribe moved northward around 1400 from an original homeland beyond the Rio Grande to the Red River near the Wichita Mountains and then to the Arkansas River in southern Kansas or northern Oklahoma. From there, the Skidi Pawnee continued northward into southwestern Nebraska, while the Southern (or Black) Pawnee remained.
Until 1770, the Southern Pawnee, aided by weapons and supplies from French traders, stayed in the Arkansas River region. As French trade lessened, they migrated northward to join the Skidis in what is now Nebraska near the Platte, Loup, and Republican rivers. The move gave the tribe renewed outlets for trade as well as good buffalo hunting south of the Platte.
The opening of the frontier brought disaster to the Pawnees. Three treaties (1833, 1848, and 1857) provided for the cession of all Pawnee lands to the United States, with the exception of a reservation thirty miles long and fifteen miles wide along both banks of the Loup River, centering near present-day Fullerton, Nebraska. In 1876 this tract was also surrendered to the United States, and the entire tribe was relocated to a new reservation in Oklahoma in a difficult exodus that caused many deaths. Under an agreement with the United States dated 23 November 1892, the Pawnees gave up certain lands for a perpetual annuity payment of $30,000 per year, to be divided equally among tribal members. This annuity, which breaks down to just a few dollars for each tribe member, is still provided. The only other tribe still to receive such payments is the Oneida.<ref>Confederation of American Indians, Indian Reservations, 234.</ref>
The Pawnee Reservation was established by an act of 10 April 1875 (Stat. L, xix, 28) and consisted of 230,014 acres purchased from the Cherokee and 53,006 acres from the Creek Nations. It was located between the Cimarron and Arkansas rivers, west of the Creek Nation and north of the Sac and Fox Reservation in Indian Territory. The Pawnee removal from Nebraska began around 1873, when small groups left their reservation near Genoa, Nebraska, and moved to the Wichita Reservation by invitation of that tribe, their linguistic kinsmen. The majority of the tribe migrated to their new reservation from Nebraska in the winter of 1875.
In 1883, Pawnee affairs were handled by an agent at the Ponca, Pawnee, and Otoe Agency located on the Ponca Reservation. A clerk-in-charge was stationed at the Pawnee Subagency. The agency's name was changed to the Ponca, Pawnee, Otoe, and Oakland Agency in 1886, with the Pawnee Subagency continuing to function.
On 23 November 1892, the Pawnees consented to accept allotments in severalty and ceded their reservation (Stat. L., xxvii, 644, ratified 3 March 1893). Allotments were made to 820 persons, and in 1896 the surplus 169,320 acres were opened to settlement. At that time, Pawnee affairs were handled by the Pawnee superintendent, who was responsible for school and tribal affairs administration during the decade.<ref>Records of the Pawnee Agency.</ref>
In 1673, the Poncas were living on the Niobrara River; later they moved to southwestern Minnesota and the Black Hills of South Dakota. In 1877, they were evicted from their lands by the United States, which caused such hardship among the tribe that it became the subject of a public investigation ordered by President Hayes. In a settlement, approximately a third of the tribe returned to their lands on the Niobrara in 1880, while the rest moved to new lands set aside for them in Oklahoma. A small group of Poncas known as the Northern Ponca live in Nebraska.<ref>Confederation of American Indians, Indian Reservations, 236.</ref>
A 3 March 1877 act of Congress provided for Ponca removal to Indian Territory 'without regard to their consent.' Under this act, they were temporarily located at the Quapaw Agency. The act of 27 May 1878 provided for their removal to their own reservation, which was established by this act. It was located west of the Osage Reservation and the Arkansas River and northwest of the Pawnee Reservation. Six hundred and ninety-three Poncas were moved from the Quapaw to the Ponca Reservation in July 1878. The new agency was located on the Salt Fork River. It was not until 3 March 1881 (Stat. L, xxi, 422) that an appropriation was made to purchase that tract from the Cherokees.
The Poncas were under the supervision of the Ponca, Pawnee, and Otoe Agency, which was responsible also for the Pawnees, Otoes, Missouris, and Nez Perce. In 1886, it became the Ponca, Otoe, and Oakland Agency. This agency, established for the Nez Perce, became the home of the Tonkawa Indians in 1885. The Poncas strongly resisted allotment of their lands in severalty, and not until 6 April 1895 could the secretary of the interior approve the allotment of 100,734 acres to 782 individuals. However, one group did not accept allotment until 1899, and in 1904, additional allotments were made (Stat. 33, 218). In 1899, a superintendent was placed in charge of the Ponca School and tribal affairs. In 1901, the Pawnee Agency separated from the Ponca, Otoe, and Oakland Agency, which became known as the Ponca, Otoe, and Oakland Agency located at White Eagle.
In 1904, a further separation left the agency serving only the Poncas and Tonkawas. The Ponca superintendent continued to be responsible for the tribe into the 1920s. In 1927, the Ponca Subagency fell under the jurisdiction of the Pawnee Agency, and Otoe and Missouri affairs were transferred to this agency.<ref>Records of the Pawnee Agency.</ref>
During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Tonkawas lived in central Texas. In 1884, they moved from Texas to Indian Territory and were assigned 91,000 acres of land previously assigned to the Nez Perce in Kay County, Oklahoma.<ref>Confederation of American Indians, Indian Reservations, 242.</ref>
The Tonkawas and a small group of associated Lipan Apaches came to the Oakland Agency from the Sac and Fox Agency, where ninety-two tribespeople had arrived from Fort Griffin, Texas, on 23 October 1884. They were placed on the Iowa Reservation of the agency, where they remained until June 1885, when they were transferred to the Oakland Reservation, which had just been vacated by the Nez Perce the month before. A subagency was created for them, with the main agency at the Ponca, Pawnee, Otoe, and Oakland Agency on the Ponca Reservation. In an agreement concluded on 21 October 1891, the Tonkawas ceded this reservation to the United States, and allotments were subsequently made to them. In 1896, the surplus lands were opened for settlement. In 1900, the subagency had a farmer-in-charge. The tribe's affairs continued under the Ponca, Otoe, and Oakland Agency in 1901 and under the Ponca School superintendent in 1904. The Lipan Apaches, counted as part of the Tonkawas, had apparently been with them since their arrival in Indian Territory from Fort Griffin. This small remnant were often called Tonkawa and soon lost their identity. The combined group continued under this agency's supervision until 1928, when the Pawnee Agency became the main agency for all of the tribes listed previously.<ref>Records of the Pawnee Agency.</ref>

Shawnee Agency
The Shawnee Agency, located at Shawnee, Oklahoma, has jurisdiction over the Iowa, Kickapoo, Citizen Potawatomi, Sac and Fox, and Absentee-Shawnee tribes.<ref>Klein, Reference Encyclopedia of the American Indian, 92.</ref>
The Shawnee Agency was originally known as the Sac and Fox Agency. It operated under the Central Superintendency. It was located about six miles south of the present town of Stroud, Oklahoma. The agent also had under his jurisdiction 467 absentee Shawnees who were living thirty miles southwest of the Sac and Fox Agency. They were located on lands they had occupied before the Civil War. Many had remained loyal to the Union and had sought shelter in the North. After the war they returned to their old territory and were later joined by the Black Bob Band of Shawnees from Kansas.
In a series of agreements in 1890 that resulted from implementation of the Dawes Act, all of the tribes within the Sac and Fox Agency (except the Kickapoos) ceded their lands to the United States and accepted allotments in severalty. The Sac and Fox, Iowa, Potawatomi, and Shawnee lands were opened to non-Indian settlement on 22 September 1891. The agency site at that time became a part of Oklahoma Territory. The Kickapoos were allotted land later, and their lands were opened to settlement on 23 May 1895. In April 1896, a special agent was appointed to handle the affairs of the band of Mexican Kickapoos known as the Kicking Kickapoos. The special agent assumed charge of the Progressive Kickapoos and the Big Jim Band of Absentee Shawnee a year or so later through an agency office located near the town of Shawnee.
In 1901, the Sac and Fox Agency was divided. The Sac and Fox Agency itself remained at the old site near Stroud with jurisdiction over the Sac and Fox and the Iowas. The Shawnee, Potawatomi, and Kickapoo Agency (sometimes called the Shawnee Agency) was established about two miles south of Shawnee, Oklahoma. The agencies continued their separate existence until 1919, when they were merged, becoming the Shawnee Agency.<ref>Records of the Sac and Fox-Shawnee Agency, introduction, reel SFSA-1 (Indian Archives Division, Oklahoma Historical Society).</ref>
Besides the resident tribes' records, there are files of other tribes' records brought from the Sac and Fox Agency in Kansas. They are listed here with the name of the tribe and years covered by the correspondence and records.
Chippewas of Swan Creek and Black River, and Muncie (Munsee) Indians, 1854'1901
Christian Indians, 1858'1864
Oneida Indians, 1902
Otoe Indians, 1880'1921
Ottawa Indians, 1838'1908
The majority of the Otoes listed in table 14-1 resided on the Otoe reservation under the Otoe Agency. Later they were under the jurisdiction of the Pawnee and Ponca agencies. Some intermarried among the Iowas and others at the Sac and Fox Agency. This file refers to them and the earlier group that came from the Great Nemaha Agency in Nebraska.<ref>Ibid.</ref>

Citizen Band Potawatomi
Before 1700, the Potawatomis lived near the upper Lake Huron territory and on the islands of Green Bay, Wisconsin. They were later located near what is now Chicago and Milwaukee. During the French and Indian War, they were close allies of the French until the peace of 1763. They were also allied with Ottawa Chief Pontiac against the British and white settlers. During the revolutionary war, however, they fought with the British against the American colonies, and hostilities continued until the Treaty of Greenville of 1795 brought peace between the former colonies and the Potawatomis.
In 1833, the Potawatomis, together with the Ottawas and Chippewas, signed the Chicago Treaty, ceding all their lands in Illinois and along the western shore of Lake Michigan and agreeing to move to Iowa within three years. They were in Iowa only briefly before the government moved them to Kansas. Today, in Kansas, the Prairie Band of Potawatomis is descended mainly from Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan Potawatomis.
The Citizen Band of Potawatomi tribe of Oklahoma is so called because certain Prairie Band members applied for citizenship papers in the 1860s, having been granted that right by treaty. Many sold their fee patent land in Kansas; landless and destitute, they removed to Indian Territory. Reservation land was provided for them there; however, because they were citizens, legal questions arose as to their right to live on it. Today, there is no Potawatomi reservation in Oklahoma.<ref>Ibid., 219.</ref>
Under a treaty of 15 November 1861 (12 Stat. 1191), the Potawatomis had received allotments in severalty in Kansas. A number accepted allotments and became citizens of the United States, then becoming known as Citizen Potawatomi. Many of them soon sold their allotments and began to plan the purchase of a new reservation in Indian Territory. A treaty of 27 February 1867 (15 Stat. 531) provided for this purchase. A thirty-square-mile reservation was selected west of the Seminole Nation between the North and South Canadian rivers, and 250 Citizen Potawatomis moved into the area. The Potawatomi lands selected encroached on those of the Absentee Shawnees' prewar settlement claims. To right this situation, Congress passed an act (Stat. L, xvii, 159) on 23 May 1872 permitting the Absentee Shawnees to select allotments on the Potawatomi Reserve. There was considerable opposition, and Sam Warrior's Band, comprising approximately one-third of the tribe, moved to an area west of the Kickapoos.<ref>Records of the Sac and Fox-Shawnee Agency.</ref>
The earliest known Iowa settlement is believed to have been along the upper Iowa River. Later, the Iowas moved into the northwestern part of the present state of Iowa. In the latter part of the eighteenth century, the Iowas moved to the Missouri River and settled south of the spot where Council Bluffs, Iowa, now stands on the east side of the river. Around 1760, they moved east and came to live along the Mississippi between the Iowa and Des Moines rivers. Early in the nineteenth century, part of the tribe moved farther up the Des Moines River, while others established themselves on the Grand and Platte rivers in Missouri. In 1814, they were allotted lands in what was known as the Platte Purchase, extending from the Platte River of Missouri through western Iowa to the Dakota country. By treaties signed on 4 August 1824, 15 July 1830, 17 September 1836, and 23 November 1867, the Iowas ceded all their lands in Missouri and Iowa to the United States. On 19 August 1825, they also ceded lands in Minnesota. The treaty of 1836 assigned part of the tribe to a reservation along the Great Nemeha River in present-day Nebraska and Kansas. The remainder were moved to central Oklahoma in 1883.<ref>Confederation of American Indians, Indian Reservations, 224-25.</ref>
The Kickapoos moved into the Wisconsin area in the early part of the seventeenth century. They later moved into Illinois near the present-day city of Peoria. During the War of 1812, they were allied with Tecumseh against the United States. In 1809 and 1819, the Kickapoos ceded their lands in Illinois to the United States and moved to Missouri and then Kansas. Around 1852, a large number of the Kickapoos and some Potawatomis went to Texas and then to Mexico, where they became known as Mexican Kickapoos. Another dissatisfied band joined them in 1863. Ten years later, part of this band was induced to return to Indian Territory. Those who chose to remain in Mexico were granted a reservation on the Sabinas River about twelve to fifteen miles from the town of Musquiz in the state of Coahuila.<ref>Ibid., 226.</ref>
After the cession of their homeland in Illinois in 1819, the Kickapoo bands separated and migrated to different areas, some going to Texas and others to Mexico. The Texas bands came to Indian Territory before the Civil War in two groups, one settling on Creek and the other on Choctaw lands. Later, many of them joined the Kickapoos living in Mexico. An effort was made under the acts of 15 July 1870, 3 March 1871, and 22 June 1874 to move the Mexican Kickapoos and others on the borders of Texas to a reservation that would be established for them in Indian Territory. A commission was appointed that succeeded in getting some three hundred to four hundred to consent to move. By 1873, these Mexican Kickapoos had begun to arrive at the Sac and Fox Agency. Their reservation was located between the South Canadian and Deep Fork rivers west of the Sac and Fox Reservation.<ref>Records of the Sac and Fox-Shawnee Agency.</ref>
Sac and Fox
Originally separate and independent tribes, the Sac (or Sauk) and Fox tribes have long been affiliated and allied. The original homeland of the Sac and Fox was in the Great Lakes region, where the Sac inhabited the Upper Michigan Peninsula and the Fox the south shore of Lake Superior. By 1667, when Father Allouez made the first recorded white contact with the two tribes, Iroquois and French pressure on the Sac and Chippewa pressure on the Fox had pushed both groups to the vicinity of present-day Green Bay, Wisconsin. French attacks on the Sac and Fox in the eighteenth century, attributed to Indians, strengthened the alliance of the two tribes, which amounted to a confederation. Forced to migrate south, they attacked the Illinois and forced them from their lands along the Mississippi in the present-day states of Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Those groups that stayed near the Mississippi River became known as the Sac and Fox of the Mississippi to distinguish them from the Sac and Fox of the Missouri, a large band that settled farther south along the Missouri River.
In 1804, the chiefs of the Missouri band were persuaded to sign a treaty ceding to the United States all Sac and Fox lands east of the Mississippi River, as well as some hunting grounds to the west of it. Government efforts several years later to enforce the treaty embittered the Sac and Fox, most of whom knew about the treaty. Attempts to remove the Sac and Fox caused a split in the confederation. The majority of the tribe followed the conciliatory Sac Chief Keokuk, who agreed to move. The remainder supported the rival Black Hawk, a Sac warrior who bitterly opposed the treaty and led his 'British Band' into revolt (the Black Hawk War). With the Treaty of Fort Armstrong in 1832, Sac and Fox power on the frontier came to an end. In 1833, the tribe was moved to Iowa, where they lived for only thirteen years before being moved again, this time to the Osage River Reservation in Kansas. In 1869, the Sac and Fox were again moved, this time to Oklahoma. Keokuk, and later his son Moses, continued to lead the conciliatory faction of the tribes, but many of the Fox opposed the many cessions of land to the United States and returned to Iowa in 1859 to join a smaller number who had steadfastly refused to be moved.<ref>Confederation of American Indians, Indian Reservations, 234.</ref>
Under terms of a treaty with the United States concluded on 18 February 1867 (15 Stat. 495), the Sac and Fox of the Mississippi ceded approximately 157,000 acres of their land in Kansas in exchange for a new reservation of 750 square miles in Indian Territory between the Cimarron and North Canadian rivers west of the Creek Nation. On 25 November 1869, 387 tribal members began the move to their new home, arriving nineteen days later. One band under Chief Mo-ho-ko-ho remained in Kansas, and the Sac and Fox of Missouri continued to live at the Great Nemaha Agency in Nebraska near the Iowas, with whom they had been associated for many years.<ref>Records of the Sac and Fox-Shawnee Agency.</ref>

Jan. 28, 2008
The Lipscomb Lady Bisons placed four players in double figures on the way to a 73-70 win over Mercer University at the University Center in Macon, Ga., Monday night.
The win marked second time this season that the Lady Bisons have won an Atlantic Sun Conference game on the road. They beat Campbell 86-79 in overtime on the road Jan. 3. The last time the Lady Bisons won two A-Sun games on the road was in the 2004-2005 season.
"Mercer started off hot," said Lipscomb coach Frank Bennett. "We played much better in the second half."
It was a game of season highs for the Lady Bisons. Center Kaleigh Gossman scored 17 points, hitting six-of-eight field attempts and five-of-six free throws, all season highs.
"Kaleigh was unbelievable," Bennett said.
Junior forward Rachel Davis came off of the bench and scored 10 points, tying her season-high for points.
Senior point guard Catie Woods scored 11 points and added a season-high five assists.
Woods connected on a 3-point shot with 13:18 left to play to give the Lady Bisons a 51-48 lead. Once they had the advantage at that point they never gave it up.
Mercer pulled to within one point with approximately one minute left, but a lay up by junior forward Jilian Partin sealed the win for the Lady Bisons in the final 58 seconds.
"Jilian took the ball coast-to-coast and got the lay up to put us up by three," Bennett said.
Partin scored 11 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for her second consecutive double-double and her fourth of the season.
Junior center Katie Rollins also scored 11 points and hauled in 10 rebounds for her first double-double of the season.
"Katie came back from being sick and did a good job," Bennett said. "Rachel had a really good first half of scoring.
"It was one of our best offensive games overall. With Kaleigh, Katie and Rachel we were able to get a lot points at the post. We had 22 offensive rebounds and 21 second chance points."
Guard Latoya Jackson scored a game-high 25 points for Mercer. Guard Sarah Russell added 10 points. Also scoring 10 was TaShera Lewis.
"Jackson scored 22 points in the first half," Bennett said. "We held here to only three points in the second half."
Center Kourtney Carter led Mercer with eight rebounds. She also scored 10 points.
The Lady Bisons held a 44-32 advantage on the boards.
Mercer led 39-33 at the half, but the Lady Bisons rallied for a 40-31 second half edge.
The Lady Bisons raised their record to 5-16 overall, 3-4 in the A-Sun. Mercer slipped to 3-17, 0-7 in the conference.

Then + Now: Taran Noah Smith from 'Home Improvement'
While everyone was fawning over Jonathan Taylor Thomas, they seem to have forgotten our favorite 'Home Improvement' star: Taran Noah Smith. We've got the lowdown on what he's been up to since the show ended.
Taran Noah Smith played youngest son Mark on the hit '90s sitcom. As the baby of the family, Mark was more precocious and definitely the sweeter of the three -- Randy was the middle child and troublemaker, and Brad was the oldest one and the jock, but Mark was the smallest, so he was always more sensitive (something that became more evident in his teen years when he went through an unforgettably weird goth phase).
When the show ended, Taran Noah Smith was just 16 years old. He spent most of his childhood and formative years on television, and when he turned 18, he gained control of his earnings from his parents and decided to quit acting.
When he was just 17, he married Heidi Van Pelt, a woman 16 years his senior. In 2005, they started a non-dairy cheese company and restaurant called Playfood, specializing in vegan and organic foods, which they still co-own even though they divorced in 2007.
Smith has been mostly doing okay, though last year he was busted for a DUI and possession of marijuana. He still has no plans to return to acting.

Jon Bailey fished out the bicycle frame of an old 10-speed Peugeot abandoned in the muck of the Animas River near Junction Creek.
Not wanting to throw it in the landfill, the bicycle mechanic was not sure what to do until inspiration struck one day while working at Durango Cyclery.
He grabbed a ladder from the back of a customers truck and hung the Peugeot from the side of his blue house across the alleyway from the bike shop on 13th Street near Main Avenue.
For the last six years, the Peugeot has been suspended in the air by the chain of another bicycle that Bailey wore out riding from Durango to San Francisco.
I continually have this vision I am going to take it down and make it work again, Bailey, 31, said. Its like fruit hanging on the tree thats not quite ripe yet.
In cycle-crazy Durango, some worn-out bicycles dont die after their last spin. They become art.
Bike frames find second lives as wall ornaments around town, but even the smallest rings and cogs lend themselves to creativity, too.
Deborah Gorton uses spokes and gears to make miniature sculptures of cycling figures with playful names such as Unspoken and All Geared Up.
Im finding lots of inspiration in bicycle parts, she said.
Sandhya Tillotson heats up gears on an outdoor grill and then brands their shapes onto leather belts and dog collars.
I used a blowtorch once (for the branding), but that didnt work so well, she said.
She sells the belts at regional art fairs and online for $40 to $65 at www.sundialdesigns.net. The belts have names such as Dirty Messenger and Mountain Singlespeed.
Its fun to make something thats usable, completely functional, she said. I made belts for all my family members for Christmas. They still wear belts every day. Thats pretty neat.
Because her fiancé, Joey Ernst, owns Velorution Cycles, she feels their lives revolve around bikes, especially with the number of bikes we have in our house, in our shed.
Her art is a way to tie everything together.
I think there is something beautiful about bikes, in their own form. I think they look so cool, she said.
Glen Shoemaker uses chain rings as stencils for his paintings, spraying over the chain rings to make designs on a canvas, sometimes using Plexiglas or mirrors as his backdrop.
He describes himself as an obsessive mountain biker who moved to Durango for both his art and cycling. His two passions fused together from living here.
Its Durango. There are tons and tons of bikes laying around, said Shoemaker, a bartender at Carver Brewing Co., where his art often is displayed. Bike parts are retooled and reused as something that allows you to shout out, Hey, I love bike riding!
Visitors soon will appreciate how much Durango loves bicycles when a sculpture by Boulder-based artist Joshua Wiener of cyclists racing toward an imaginary finish line is installed this week at the roundabout on Florida Road.
Wiener does not incorporate old bicycle parts into his art, but he gets the fascination.
People tend to make art about things they are trying to understand, Wiener said.
Cycling as a physical experience is beyond words, so artists try to make things to understand it, Wiener said. Really important things get thoroughly explored, and art can be a wonderful instrument for understanding.
Bailey also finds an aesthetic in the craftsmanship and simple design of the bicycle.
Its the most efficient machine man has made, he said. Theres no reason we should be burying it or throwing it in the river. The bicycle can be run down to nothing and still work.
Because its such a powerful machine, with that energy comes a beauty, he said.
Bailey belongs to a local nonprofit called Bicycle Lemonade that restores old bicycles. Lately, Bicycle Lemonade has been making old bicycle parts available outside the alleyway by Durango Cyclery so people can make art.
Bailey said there is a lot of interest in making crafts for the USA Pro Cycling Challenge because Durango will be the Aug. 20 start of the bicycle race across Colorado.
You have an event where 30,000 people are going to be here, you have artists getting together to capitalize on it, Bailey said.
The artists often dont know what they are going to make when they come for the old sprockets and chains because creativity does not happen until the pieces are assembled for a project. Then the flow just goes, Bailey said in describing the creative process.
A lot of (artists) are probably fresh to working with bike parts as art, so their minds are just rolling in so many great directions, Bailey said.
Bailey is grateful for the artists because he does not like to waste even old bicycle parts.
Its hard for us to take it to salvage because it will be melted down, he said. As much as we can keep it alive, great.

What's going on with the same ads on repeat?
I use tunein only to listen to a morning show for a radio station I can only hear through this app. When the station first used an app they used tunein. I used the app for at least 3 years at that time. Then they went to a different app, for about 3 years. A few months ago went back to tunein. I prefer tunein to the other app, however the ads are the same two ads. I have thought about upgrading to the paid app but it doesn't sound like that would solve the issue of the same 2 ads repeating over and over. The only 2 ads that play during the commercial breaks are the shows are the Autism awareness and ace your retirement. They are back to back, and sooooo incredibly annoying. I was really hoping with the last update it would be fixed. I understand there needs to be ads... but the same 2 ads for 5 or more minutes is excessive, so I mute the volume and half the time miss the show because of it. So stupid, it's almost to the point of deleting the app and not listening to the show I want to. The whole reason for a commercial is to let people know about your product. Yet tunein playing the same two commercials doesn't allow any other company that pays for ad time to have their ads heard.
TuneIn, An Excellent and fabulous app
I have been using the TuneIn app since I first purchased my iPhone 6 through AT&T. When I first installed the TuneIn app, I was using the standard version of the app. As you would expect, the standard version of TuneIn, being free, did have commercials, which was a bit annoying. But, the most annoying issue was a technical glitch, which caused the app to constantly skip back and repeat the last few seconds of the song or talk show I would be listening too on any given radio station. This was extremely annoying. So, I upgraded to TuneIn premium. However, this annoying issue continued even after every update was released and installed. I refrained from using TuneIn, all together and switched to a different app. I have recently started back using the TuneIn premium app, which is now working smoothly without any technical glitches. TuneIn no longer has the annoying technical glitch mentioned above, TuneIn enables me to tune into so many great radio stations from all around the world! Even the Christian radio station I am employed by is available on TuneIn!
A Big Thank You to the TuneIn Tech Team!

text: Just in case you gents haven't seen this: From Predator Xtreme Magazine-- November 14th News Environmental groups sue over Wyoming wolves The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service never should have accepted a wolf-management plan that allows the state of Wyoming to classify the animals as predators that may be shot on sight, environmental groups say. CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service never should have accepted a wolf-management plan that allows the state of Wyoming to classify the animals as predators that may be shot on sight, environmental groups said in a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Washington, D.C. A coalition of groups asked a federal judge to force the Fish and Wildlife Service to rescind its transfer of wolf management authority to Wyoming and protect them once again under the federal Endangered Species Act. The Fish and Wildlife Service turned over wolf management to Wyoming on Oct. 1 after signing off on a state plan that declares wolves as predators that may be shot on sight in more than 80 percent of the state. The state plan also allows trophy game hunting of wolves in a flexible zone around Yellowstone. As of Tuesday, licensed hunters in Wyoming had killed at least 33 of the maximum 52 wolves the state is allowing them to kill this year in the trophy area. Wyoming has committed to maintaining at least 10 breeding pairs of wolves and at least 100 individual animals outside of Yellowstone and the Wind River Indian Reservation, in the central part of the state. Wildlife managers estimated there were roughly 300 wolves outside of Yellowstone, where no hunting is allowed, when the state took over. "What the (Fish and Wildlife) Service does, in setting the benchmark for delisting of wolves is an important precedent for its treatment of species all across the country, said Tim Preso, a Montana lawyer who represents the coalition. The groups in the lawsuit are the Defenders of Wildlife, Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club and Center for Biological Diversity. "Wolves get a lot of attention; people care a lot about wolves. The service is under the microscope when it comes to dealing with wolves. And if it's good enough with respect to wolves to say that a free-fire zone in 85 percent of the state is OK, I think we're very concerned that sets a terrible precedent for other species,'' Preso said. While some Wyoming sportsmen and ranchers say they're concerned that wolves take an unacceptable toll on wildlife and livestock, environmental groups long have protested that a series of proposed state wolf management plans have failed to offer adequate protection to ensure the species' long-term survival. Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead said Tuesday that the groups suing the federal government apparently have decided to go to court regardless of what's happening on the ground in the state. Mead worked with U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to come to agreement on delisting wolves in the state. Mead has emphasized that the state is committed to making sure that it maintains the wolf population and doesn't risk having the federal government take over management again. "Rather than looking at Wyoming's successful efforts, these groups are suing based on what they wanted,'' Mead said. "Wyoming's wolf management plan is working well.'' Mead said hunters are turning over samples that allow the state to track the genetic diversity of the population. "Wyoming set up a conservative hunt and will easily maintain the necessary wolf population and effectively manage the wolves as agreed upon with the federal government,'' he said. The lawsuit is the latest in a seemingly endless stream of litigation over Wyoming's efforts to exert control over a population of gray wolves that has been expanding in the state since the federal government reintroduced the species in Yellowstone National Park in the mid-1990s. The Fish and Wildlife Service had accepted a similar delisting plan from Wyoming in 2007 but later repudiated it after a federal judge in Montana criticized it in response to an earlier legal challenge from environmental groups. The federal agency in recent years had delisted wolves in both Montana and Idaho but had kept authority over them in Wyoming. Preso said the current Wyoming plan is "the kissing cousin'' of the plan the Fish and Wildlife Service previously rejected. "The changes that were made since the Fish and Wildlife Service rejected the plan essentially amount to new window dressing on a plan that still calls for wolf eradication across the majority of the state and does not provide guarantees that the Yellowstone wolf population will be connected to other wolves and won't end up as an isolated, island population,'' Preso said. t

Bipartisan "Mayors for the Freedom to Marry" launches
January 20, 2012
Today we're excited to announce the launch of Mayors for the Freedom to Marry, a bipartisan coalition of 75+ Mayors who pledge to support marriage for gay and lesbian couples! You may have first heard about this impressive coalition of Mayors a few days ago when the Wall Street Journal broke the story that Mayors of some of America's largest cities were joining together to support the freedom to marry.
The coalition will officially launch this morning at 10am, as Freedom to Marry and a handful of notable Mayors host a press conference at the 80th annual U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington D.C. Participants at today's press conference include: Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa of Los Angeles; Mayor Jerry Sanders of San Diegol Mayor Thomas M. Menino of Boston; Mayor Annise Parker of Houston; Mayor Marilyn Strickland of Tacoma; Marc Solomon, our National Campaign Director here at Freedom to Marry; and Tom Cochran, U.S. Conference of Mayors CEO and Executive Director.
Mayors for the Freedom to Marry includes mayors from cities and towns—large and small—with diverse geographic, ethnic and political backgrounds. The list includes the mayors of America's four largest cities—Michael Bloomberg of New York, Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles, Rahm Emanuel of Chicago, and Annise Parker of Houston. It also includes mayors from cities including Juneau, Alaska; Des Moines, Iowa; Bloomington, Indiana; and Lewiston, Maine, where the freedom to marry may go to the ballot in 2012. You can click here to view the full list of Mayors.
We think that this coalition will truly be a game-changer in growing and demonstrating nationwide support for the freedom to marry. Marc Solomon, our National Campaign Director, released this statement this morning:
"We're launching this effort at a time when more Americans than ever support the freedom to marry. When New York ended its exclusion of gay couples from marriage this summer, the number of people living in states that treat all committed couples equally more than doubled—from 16 million to 35 million Americans. Marriage is on the march in towns and cities across the nation and these mayors will play an important role in advancing the cause."
San Diego's Republican Mayor Jerry Sanders- a chair of Mayors for the Freedom to Marry- explains beautifully why he has signed on to the effort:
Allowing loving and committed couples to join in marriage has benefits not just for couples and their families—but also for society. Marriage encourages people to take responsibility for each other, provides greater security for children, and helps our country live up to its promises set forth in our founding documents. These are important values for a strong society, and we should encourage them."
Be sure to follow Freedom to Marry on Facebook and Twitter (using the #Mayors4M hashtag) this morning for live updates from the press conference!

Unless you live under a rock, you're most likely already well aware of the fact that diet soda is really, really bad for you. We're talking increased risk of stroke, heart disease, weight gain (ironic, that one), diabetes, and even cancer bad for you, which is pretty damn bad. Well, guess what? Turns out diet soda could be bad for your mental health as well as your physical health: A recent study links diet soda consumption to an increased risk of depression. Sheesh. What a bummer!
The study surveyed the habits of 263,900 adults in the U.S. over the span of one year (1995 to 1996), then followed up roughly 10 years later asking if any had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000. Interestingly, both regular and diet soda drinkers were down in the dumps, but diet soda drinkers were worse off -- people who regularly drank four or more cans per day of regular soda were 22 percent more likely to have been diagnosed with depression, but people who regularly drank diet soda were 31 percent more likely.
Now, one could argue that this study isn't proof of any definitive link between diet soda and depression and isn't EVERYBODY depressed these days? But with all of the other associated risks, why bother drinking the stuff?! It doesn't even taste good!!
Do you drink diet soda?

Big Kid, Little Kid: Shared Kids Rooms
There's nothing like the moment when your second child is born, and you realize how giant your former "baby" is. You've just moved the first one out of the crib, and have no other place to put the baby but to share in the existing child's room. It's a lot of transition, but it can at least look phenomenal...
Here are ten rooms where a baby and sibling live together:
1. A Shared Room for Sisters on Lay Baby Lay
2. Matilda and Baby's Shared Room on Apartment Therapy
3. Courtney Adamo's Home on Design Mom
4. Simon, Levi, and Josie's Shared Room on Apartment Therapy
5. Tyler and Lucas' Scandinavian MCM Room on Apartment Therapy
6. Shared bedroom in a Madrid apartment on MiCasa
7. Henry & Adela's Playful but Peaceful Shared Room on Apartment Therapy
8. Arthur & Violette's Cohesive Shared Room on Apartment Therapy
9. Aiden & Mia's Superb Shared Room on Apartment Therapy
10. Bella & Lily Share Sisterly Love on Apartment Therapy
Now as for whether toddler and baby shared rooms work, that's another question entirely.

Joann K. Falbo Featured Artist in the Lawrence Hall Gallery Monday, May 20, 2013
The Lawrence Hall Gallery at Point Park University will host a new exhibition featuring the work of artist and Pittsburgh native, Joann K. Falbo. The exhibit, "A Life Lived Artfully," will be on display beginning May 25, 2013 through the summer.
Falbo developed a deep love and appreciation for painting during her youth through summer art classes offered at Carnegie Tech, now Carnegie Mellon University. During Falbo's senior year studying painting at Richmond University, now Virginia Commonwealth University, she was encouraged to enter into a scholarship competition for a master's of fine art at Yale University. She won the scholarship and was the only woman among a class of 20 students.
Upon graduation, Falbo remained in New England. She found joy in teaching art and painting in a small studio. In addition to her work as an artist, the late Falbo was a visual therapist who was successful in assisting people who suffered visual difficulty not typically addressed in optometry.
Joann's brother, Ralph Falbo has left his mark on revitalizing Downtown Pittsburgh with exciting developments like First Side and his work with organizations like Riverlife. The work and vision of people like the Falbos is what motivates the Point Park community to make neighborhood connections and provide interesting public spaces, including the Lawrence Hall Gallery.
This exhibit at Lawrence Hall Gallery is free and open to the public Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. - 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. For more information, call the Lawrence Hall Gallery information line, 412-392-8008.

Gay Marriage Bill Clears Minnesota House Committee
ST. PAUL (AP) — A state House committee has approved a bill legalizing gay marriage in what could be a pivotal week for the issue at Minnesota's Capitol.
The Ways and Means committee backed the bill Monday on an unrecorded voice vote. The hearing on the bill featured no debate on one of the session's major issues. The Senate Finance Committee is scheduled to review the bill Tuesday morning.
A fiscal analysis predicted relatively small costs to the state in providing health insurance to gay spouses of state employees, and revenue from an expected spike in marriage licenses.
Earlier Monday, dozens of opponents of the measure demonstrated at the Capitol hoping to slow the bill's progress.
The full House or Senate could vote on the bill this week.

The House of Representatives has passed legislation to make educational mentoring programs safer for the students.
Introduced by Rep. Joseph M. McNamara (D-Dist. 19, Warwick, Cranston) and passed last week, House bill 2012-H 7077 will require a national and state criminal background check for any person seeking to participate in a mentoring program working with students.
State law already requires background checks for individuals seeking employment with a private school or public school department, "and this legislation simply expands the scope of that law to include others who will have direct and regular contact with young people, in school settings or other mentoring situations," said McNamara, Chairman of the House Committee on Health, Education and Welfare.
"As programs such as these grow in school settings, adding this language to law is the safe and responsible thing to do," he said.
The bill was introduced at the recommendation of the Rhode Island Mentoring Partnership, a non-profit organization that provides training and support for mentoring agencies in the state. The group operates the Feinstein Mentor Training Institute and one-on-one school-based mentoring programs in Warwick, Woonsocket and on Aquidneck Island.
The bill now goes to the Senate for consideration.

Woman missing for 5 days found alive in freezer
TULSA, Okla. – Police say a Tulsa woman missing since Saturday has been found alive in a deep freezer, where she apparently hid during severe storms over the weekend.
Tulsa police officer Jillian Roberson says the 59-year-old woman was found Wednesday morning after worried relatives went to the woman's apartment complex in search of her. She was transported with frostbite on her legs to a Tulsa hospital, where she is listed in fair condition.
Roberson says authorities believe the woman climbed into the freezer to seek shelter during last week's round of severe storms that hit the Tulsa area, but couldn't get out once the storms had passed.
Roberson says authorities have ruled out foul play.

Strategic canning -- a rat race-like hunt for recyclable beverage containers through residential and city refuse bins seems to have stepped up into a popular, tax-free, cash-paying occupation.
What was once just a quick buck or two are over, said most old-school "canners' [container collectors].
"The 'canning-monsters' have taken over," says longtime local 'canner' Thomas J. Rutowski, known as "OB Tommy," referring to his new competition on wheels.
Tommy and a friend collect aluminum cans and plastic bottles daily, to ensure food, drink and cigarette money. That money is often their only source of income.
Tommy remembers when "canning" used to be quick and easy.
"I'd just walk up Newport Avenue every hour or so and grab them [the CRV containers] from the trashcans on the sidewalk and take them over to Miguel's [Ocean Beach's local recycling facility] to cash. No such luck, these days. It's all 'canned-out.' Seems like every minute now, someone else turns those trashcans upside down, digging for stuff."
Instead, OB Tommy and fellow local "canners" roam the alleys, day and night, rain or shine.
"Our local canning war is between 4:30 and 8:30 a.m. That's when everybody and their brother are out. It's a wrap if you're not out 'canning' by 6:30 a.m,," said Rutowski.
He remembers when people used to respect other peoples' regular route.
"Now, everybody is everywhere," he said. "If somebody sees you starting your route at 6:30 a.m., they will do your route at 6 a.m. the next day. Unfortunately, the 'mega-canners' have the better equipment."
He refers to organized groups -- mostly Hispanics -- using trucks and vans with trailers, dollies, large plastic bins and flashlights at night.
"Those guys are hard to compete with," said Rutowski. "They come out as early as 1:30 a.m., with five to six trucks going through every alley in OB and Point Loma.Two people in each vehicle. And they take the heavy bottles, too."
According to Rutowski, most "foot-folk" won't bother taking bottles. He speculates that each of the trucks bring in a daily value of $250 to $500, depending on the day of the week.
The beverage container refund value as of Jan. 1, 2013 varies by facility, per pound, between $1.42 to $1.59 for aluminum; $0.77 to $1.33 for plastics and $0.07 to $0.11 for glass.
Many collectors may not be aware of any existing laws, prohibiting the collection of refuse.
Sgt. Jack Knish said two code sections prohibit tampering with or removing refuse, the contents or any portion of it from the location it was placed at -- or from any refuse container -- is prohibited for any person other than the owner or an authorized person by law; prohibits the unauthorized collection, rummaging in, disturbing, interfering with or removing refuse or recyclable material from officially designated containers for any person other than the owner or an authorized person by law.
Knish said the sections cover both, refuse and recyclable materials.
Knish further informs that "those laws are generally only enforced while addressing a specific complaint."
For general public inquiries on recycling contact, call CalRecycle at (800) 732-9253, or visit www.calrecycle.ca.gov.

Uber paid hackers to delete personal data of 57 million users and drivers following a breach late last year but didn't tell anyone until Tuesday, multiple news outlets reported.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a statement that he only recently learned that names, email addresses and phone numbers were exposed.
No location history, credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, or dates of birth were accessed, Uber officials said.
However, the driver's license numbers of roughly 600,000 U.S. Uber drivers were, the company revealed.
Khosrowshahi, who became CEO in August, said he'd ordered an investigation into why victims and regulators weren't immediately notified.
"Two of the individuals who led the response to this incident are no longer with the company," he added.
"At the time of the incident, we took immediate steps to secure the data and shut down further unauthorized access by the individuals," Khosrowshahi said in the statement. "We subsequently identified the individuals and obtained assurances that the downloaded data had been destroyed.
"We also implemented security measures to restrict access to and strengthen controls on our cloud-based storage accounts," he said.
Already reeling from several scandals -- including nearly $9 million in fines for background-check issues in Colorado -- Uber offered free credit monitoring to those drivers who had their license numbers exposed.
There was no explanation of how Uber could know whether the stolen information was destroyed or how much was paid to the hackers.
Bloomberg put the payoff at $100,000.

At the unprepossessing Mori Sushi in West Los Angeles, the waiter sets down a broad oval plate stippled in the browns and golds of autumn leaves, its texture rough as burlap. On it are four rows of nigiri-zushi, four pieces each, one for each of us. The composition is as flawless as an Agnes Martin painting. My architect friend is looking at the fish as if he has never seen sushi before. And in a sense he hasn't, not this kind of quality. It's evident even before you taste it -- in the pearlescent pink and white gleam of halibut fin, cross-hatched with the knife; in the subtle marbling of wild yellowtail belly, my new sushi passion; in the silvery blue pinstripe running down a sliver of half beak, or Japanese silver fish; and in the alabaster translucence of Japanese squid.
Sushi chef Morihiro Onodera has slipped a touch of freshly grated wasabi between each slice of fish and the rice beneath. Each grain is distinct and perfectly seasoned. This sushi master cares so much about the product, he buys his rice unhulled to retain its moisture and flavor for as long as possible. Using a special machine, he polishes only as much as he'll need for that day's sushi. As a result, his rice has a personality all its own.
That plate of sushi actually comes halfway through our meal. We'd asked Mori-san for an omakase menu, his choice of what's best that night. It begins with three slabs of steamed abalone, their mild sea-salt taste sparked by a zingy dab of yuzu (a Japanese citrus) and green chile paste that brings our palates to full attention. Next comes a handmade ceramic bowl with latticework sides holding a few intriguing bites, the equivalent of a western chef's amuse-gueule. The mosaic of flavors includes sticks of salted gingko nuts and a dainty roll of pickled daikon with fine threads of raw carrot and burdock. A porcelain thimble holds glistening coral salmon eggs, and the slender spine of a sea eel is tied into a knot and fried to a noisy crunch.
A lidded lacquered bowl decorated with plum blossoms is set before us. Inside is a clear broth with a marvelous smoky taste and a single shrimp ball tucked into a hollowed-out daikon. Japanese greens sway like seaweed. The shrimp ball is as delicate in flavor as the finest quenelle. (I remember another soup, another season, when the broth tasted of precious matsutake mushrooms.)
Perfectly placed and paced
THEN comes sashimi, each slice of pristine raw fish placed on the plate as precisely as a stone in a Zen garden. The flavors are perfectly paced, too, from left to right: buttery bigeye toro, octopus, sweet Santa Barbara shrimp, richly nuanced buri (wild yellowtail) and a dark-fleshed band of Japanese mackerel.
He introduces another note with mirogai, or clam, cloaked in a salty rich miso followed by two types of toro sushi: bluefin and bigeye tuna. And later, that oval platter of sushi previously described. We easily could have stopped there, but he sends out two more little tastes: silvery speckled shad and seared albacore with scallions in a rust-colored bowl.
Sensing our mood, he makes an abrupt and delicious switch to dessert. Nothing heavy, a swatch of pink grapefruit gelatin inset with segments of pink grapefruit.
In Los Angeles you can trace the history of sushi back to Katsu on Hillhurst, the seminal sushi restaurant that captured everyone's attention in the late '80s, and to Matsuhisa, Nobu Matsuhisa's first modest but not modestly priced Beverly Hills restaurant. Onodera worked at both. I remember him at Matsuhisa, shouting out a greeting, playing up to the famous faces and the flocks of AMWs (actress-model-whatevers).
But at Sushi Mori, he follows his own muse, not Nobu's. And in the three years since it opened, his restaurant has gone from very good to one of the best in a city full of good sushi restaurants. It works. It's his.
Always behind the bar
There's nothing slick about the place. Ken Tanaka designed it with plywood floors and tables and a flotilla of round white paper lanterns bobbing overhead. Onodera doesn't cultivate any kind of a scene. Individuals in the crowd are identifiable only as sushi lovers quietly enjoying Mori-san's work or friends meeting for a quick bite. He doesn't want to be photographed. He even goes so far as to dispense with a sign outside. Well, not entirely, it just doesn't have the name. Look for the outline of a fish and a rectangle of yuzu-green glass stuck high on a pole at the southwest corner of Pico Boulevard and Gateway.
Unlike the peripatetic Matsuhisa, Mori-san is always there behind the counter, ready with a smile, but with none of the hyperactive shouting some sushi chefs are prone to exhibit. He chats with the regulars. Or not. It's all very comfortable.
The servers are unfailingly courteous and more than that, actually helpful, announcing the dishes with the skill of a waiter at Patina or Spago -- even going so far as to consult a dictionary or the chef, for the exact translation of an unfamiliar fish or ingredient.
Just because the decor is simple doesn't mean the place has anything in common with inexpensive strip mall sushi joints. The best and freshest fish can never be inexpensive. And when sushi is this good, it's hard to resist ordering more and more.
Sometimes I order sashimi and some sushi, checking off what I want from a conventional sushi menu. Or I'll just tell the waiter I'd like a plate of sashimi that includes some buri, if it's available. And then some toro, Spanish mackerel, squid, maybe some uni, or sea urchin. And let him choose the rest.
But most of the time I'll ask for omakase, or chef's choice. I know it's going to be expensive, usually about $100 a person, depending on how much you eat or what's on offer. It can be as high as $150 -- like on a night when no one thought to tell the chef we were getting full and two more courses of sushi came out, too irresistible not to eat, but more than we really wanted.
Even without ordering omakase, it's all too easy to spend close to $100 a person with sake and drinks.
But you're getting the real thing. Onodera is not a chef who condescends to popular tastes by cranking up the heat, though he does offer some California-Japanese salads. He's not a sushi nazi either, who throws you out if you ask for anything not on offer. Lately, I've been enjoying his homemade tofu, tender ivory curds rather than the usual white squares. He serves it with dab of fresh wasabi on top and beside it, a dish of fine dark soy sauce. You eat it with a beautiful bamboo spoon.
It's always a pleasure to see which dishes Onodera will use. He first started making ceramics when he worked near a pottery workshop in New York's Greenwich Village. Now it's a passion and he's set up an outdoor studio on one side of the building. As I leave each time, I can't help noticing the growing stacks of dishes and plates behind the counter. And as Onodera nods goodbye, he smiles the smile of someone who is completely at home in his own restaurant doing exactly what he wants to do.
