Finnish immigrants came to Minnesota's Mesabi Iron Range to take jobs in the mines. Because working conditions were brutal, many went on strike 1916. The action cost them their jobs and the strikers were blacklisted. Producer Allison Herrera tells us about a special meeting place that elevated the community.

Martha Ripley was a nurse by training when she moved to Minneapolis with her husband in 1883. Her expertise in medical care and her commitment to the rights of some of the city's destitute young mothers led to her to open a hospital dedicated to their care. Allison Herrera tells us about her remarkable life.
St. Paulite F. Scott Fitzgerald is considered one of America's greatest authors. MN90 producer Marisa Helms speaks with Minnesota writer Patricia Hampl who says though Fitzgerald's reputation was solidified in more glamorous places like New York and Europe, Fitzgerald always had a romance with the Midwest, and his Midwest was St. Paul.
Half black, half Ojibwe, George Bonga was the first person of African descent born in what was then the territory of Minnesota in 1802. He was a fur trader and a treaty translator that forged vital relationships with both Europeans and Native Americans. Allison Herrera tells us more about his important role in Minnesota history.
When Oliver Kelley began farming in Minnesota during the mid-1850s, he was frustrated by the low status of farmers and the isolation of rural life. So along with six others, he started an organization called the Grange, which as MN90 Producer Andi McDaniel explains, changed agrarian life in America by bringing farmers together to socialize and advocate for themselves. Includes an interview with Bob Quist of Oliver Kelley Farm.
The Honeywell round thermostat design is one of the most user-friendly and underappreciated appliance designs of all time. MN90 Producer Andi McDaniel explains what has made the "T86 Round" so popular and so enduring.
MN90 producer Marisa Helms describes the life of Charles Albert Bender, born on the White Earth Reservation in northern Minnesota and later inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Includes an interview with Tom Swift, author of Chief Bender's Burden, published by the University of Nebraska Press, 2010.

Rubicon's 'Ocean' churns with emotional intensity
Rough waters
The Rubicon Theatre presents August Wilson's play through June 10 at 1006 E. Main St., Ventura. Showtimes are 2 and 7 p.m. Wednesdays, 8 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets cost $35-$64 for regular admission and $25 for students. Call 667-2900 or visit rubicontheatre.org.
The wave of emotions sweeping through the lives of black Americans in the first decade of the 20th century, and the coping mechanisms it engendered, powers August Wilson's "Gem of the Ocean," chronologically the first of his 10-play sequence of dramas completed shortly before his death at 60 in 2005.
"Gem" was actually one of the last plays he wrote, the one in which the 285-year-old healer Aunt Ester, referenced in plays of succeeding decades, comes center stage to bring the arc of black history in America into focus. Wilson's poetic leap of vision sets Ester's birth around the time African slaves were first transported to America and gives her in 1904 the perspective of an ancient tale-teller who understands better than anyone what the burden of slavery had set in motion.
Ventura's Rubicon Theatre Company is staging the Wilson classic with a sterling cast that captures some of the disparate personalities and mindsets inhabiting the period, along with the wisdom of Aunt Ester in bringing history into her healing. Director James O'Neil, Rubicon's artistic director, shapes a breathtakingly moving ensemble performance from the players, all of whom prove alert in their own roles but also aware of every nuance around them in a sea of actors deeply committed to bringing Wilson's depiction of an unsettling world to life.
Lillias White, who counts a Tony Award among her many honors, returns to the Rubicon after her recent performance in the Drama Desk Award-nominated premiere of the company's "The Best Is Yet to Come: The Music of Cy Coleman." In a rare stage appearance in a drama, White summons along with the power of her presence the humor and wisdom Aunt Ester brings to her pivotal task among blacks in their Pittsburgh setting.
Visiting her for various reasons during the course of a few days is Anthony J. Haney as Solly Two Kings, a wizened fellow who helped slaves escape during the years surrounding the Civil War and the subsequent outlawing of slavery. Haney, who won multiple awards for the controlled power of his performance in last year's Rubicon production of Athol Fugard's "Master Harold…and the Boys," is a large man of very large talents. He puts them to compelling use as Solly, who brings news of how a black man working in the steel mill and accused of stealing a bucket of nails chose death in the nearby river rather than confess to a crime he insisted he did not commit. Workers followed with a strike of protest, and turmoil ensued among the poorly paid, and poorly used, factory crews.
An unexpected visitor is the young Citizen Barlow, who says he fled the mill because of the tragedy and the disheartening work conditions. Keith Arthur Bolden's portrayal of the terrified Citizen, just a few months out of the South, captures his sense of confusion and doubt. He has come to Aunt Ester seeking healing and she ultimately brings him to it through a mystical ritual in the second act that takes him back to the terrors of slaves aboard the Gem of the Ocean centuries before. She reminds him that, like the man who died in the river, he should be strong enough to "rather die innocent than live guilty."
More familiar to Aunt Ester are Caesar Wilks, brother of Ester's household aide Black Mary. Caesar is a black man who has transformed himself into a willing and even eager agent of the law. As he cracks down on mill workers and others he sees as possibly anti-authority, including Solly, he reminds them, "Just doing my job, people wouldn't have it any other way." Chris Butler imbues the iron-fisted and unrepentant Caesar with particular zest for the tasks he's embraced. Pamela Shaddock as his sister is riveting in her own quiet way, and passionate when it counts.
Aunt Ester's dignified caretaker, Eli, is played by Clinton Derricks-Carroll, who brings out the strength of the man's quiet character. Longtime local actor Tom Mueller, co-founder and co-creative director of the Ventura Improv Company, lends his deft touch as the peddler Rutherford Selig, a white man comfortable and trusted in the black household.
Rubicon's "Gem of the Ocean," with its fully developed characters and ritual mystic healing scene, can seem a long haul. But it's like an invigorating marathon; you wouldn't want to miss the finish line.

Found October 21, 2013 on Midwest Sports Fans:
As soon as the Boston Red Sox finished off the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series, announcer Joe Buck was already hailing the St. Louis Cardinals/Red Sox World Series as a rematch of the 2004 battle between the same teams. That resulted in a sweep in favor of the Red Sox. Maybe, if Albert Pujols was part of the Cardinals, I could see some of the logic because David Ortiz is still around from that Sox team. But, with Ortiz the only player from either team who played regularly from that Series, it doesn't seem appropriate to call it a true rematch (Yadier Molina only had three plate appearances in that World Series). But, Buck's comment did get me thinking. There have been several recent championship rematches where there were significant players from both sides still playing. Here's a look at them. The Atlanta Braves versus the New York Yankees in 1996, 1999 Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera were on the Yankees, while Greg Maddux, T...

Service Person Becky Rowland
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 2:50 p.m.
Treating every customer and their project as important is what makes Becky Rowland shine.
An employee of Orchard Supply Hardware on North McDowell Boulevard, her commitment to good customer service has earned Rowland the title of Service Person of the Week.
Rowland was born and raised in Petaluma. She was working for her husband's construction business when the economy took a turn for the worse and her family needed extra income.
"We needed extra work and since my kids were older, I felt it was time for me to go back to work," she said.
She's been working at OSH for nearly four years. Customers can find her in the paint department mixing paints or near the front door greeting customers as they come in.
"It's been fun," she said. "I get to do a lot of different things."
Rowland said she loves helping customers and enjoys the challenge of helping them with their home repair/improvement projects.
"It's satisfying just helping a person find exactly what they need," she said. "I get disappointed when I can't help someone."
"Becky at OSH is so helpful," said a regular customer. "Many times she is the greeter when you come into the store. She always makes you feel welcome."
Do you know a Petaluma service person who offers exemplary service? If so, we want to know about it.
Write a letter or e-mail a nomination to email@example.com to tell us why you think your nominee should be considered for the service person award (no phone calls, please).
Nominations for Service Person can cover all aspects of the service industry, but should not include business owners, managers, directors or those in charge of departments. Previous Service Person of the Year honorees will not be considered for the contest.
Five nominees will be named Service Person of the Week beginning Jan. 17. Then, readers will vote on which one should be crowned Service Person of the Year.
This year's winner will be honored in the Argus-Courier and at the 2013 Petaluma Community Awards of Excellence on March 14.
The earlier a nomination is submitted, the greater chance the nominee has to become a Service Person of the Week.
E-mail nominations to email@example.com. Or mail nominations to: Service Person of the Year, Petaluma Argus-Courier, P.O. Box 750308, Petaluma 94975 or drop it by the Argus-Courier office at 719C Southpoint Blvd.

The American Cultures Center at UC Berkeley recently commissioned a poster to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the American Cultures requirement. As part of the process of developing the piece I interviewed students, staff and faculty about the role the students have the opportunity to play, in serving their communities through an engaged praxis, via the American Cultures classes. Their history is rooted in the Campaign Against Apartheid, a movement of "students, staff, faculty, and community members demanding that UC divest its portfolio of multiple billions of dollars in investments tied to apartheid South Africa." I will be talking about the history of political graphics as related to social movements in the continental Americas and throughout the Third World during their week of celebratory events. See information below.
In 1989, UC Berkeley adopted the ground breaking American Cultures (AC) undergraduate education requirement. Courses meeting the AC requirement can be found in more than forty departments and programs across the UC Berkeley campus. As well as being the one course that all undergraduate students at Cal need to take and pass in order to graduate, the requirement offers an exciting intellectual environment centered on the study of race, ethnicity and culture of the United States. AC courses offer students opportunities to be part of research-led, highly accomplished teaching environments, grappling with the complexity of American Culture.
The AC Center also provides a unique environment for the development of student and faculty programs and welcomes opportunities to collaborate with campus academic partners, student based organizations and community partners. Such opportunities include the development of engaged scholarship programs, campus wide events, and video outreach projects.
Monday, April 21, 5-7pm - In Conversation: Current AC Student Advisory Board and 1989 UC Berkeley undergraduates. Featuring: Jeff Chang (Stanford University), Rickey Vincent (UC Berkeley), Regina Freer (Occidental College), and Mark Min (City Span). Ethnic Studies Library, 30 Stephens Hall.
Tuesday, April 22, 6-8pm – The Art of AC! Featuring: Melanie Cervantes (Dignidad Rebelde) who will present the 25th anniversary poster & discuss the role of art and activism. Multicultural Community Center (MCC), Hearst Annex D-37.
Wednesday, April 23, 3-5pm – The AC Center: The Early Years Featuring: Troy Duster (Chancellor's Professor of Sociology, UC Berkeley) and Ron Choy (Founding AC Program Director). 470 Stephens Hall.

I'm heading to Barcelona, Spain for the Decolonizing Knowledge and Power Summer School in July. Now I have to prepare to be ready academically (I have a bunch of books & articles to read) and fundraise so I can get there because going to Europe is pretty expensive.
I am really excited about participating in this program, it will give me the opportunity to work with some awesome academics and artists whose work has been super important in Chican@ Studies and Decolonial thinking. I believe it will give me some great tools to really move my art practice forward as well as my writing and the way I approach issues Xicana people are facing in embracing an indigenous past and future.
To prepare for this I am looking to my community for help to get there by asking for financial support. The total cost for this program is $4,200, that includes tuition, room, airfair and hopefully snacks! If there is any way you are able to assist, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Un-settling Alliances is a themed portfolio organized to debut at the Southern Graphics Council's 42nd Annual Conference: Bridges: Spanning Tradition, Innovation and Activism.
This portfolio brings together eleven artists of varied generations, backgrounds, and relationships to anti-colonialism to focus on connections and alliances across struggles for self-determination, decolonization, and collective liberation. Drawing from the work of printmakers who engage in social, political and cultural themes, this project hopes to visualize and build cross-movement relationships. The project is to debut at the 2014 SGCI conference in San Francisco this March. It will remain on view at 518 Valencia following the SGC conference.
March 26 - 29, 2014, San Francisco State University

Participating Artists: Jesus Barraza :: Annie Morgan Banks :: Paper Buck :: Melanie Cervantes :: Juan Fuentes :: Ronnie Goodman :: Art Hazelwood :: Nancy Hom :: Mazatl :: Emmanuel C. Montoya :: Chip Thomas
Portfolio Curators: Emmanuel C. Montoya & Paper Buck
PORTFOLIO DESCRIPTION: This body of work will focus on connections and alliances across struggles for self-determination, decolonization, and collective liberation. Drawing from the work of printmakers who come from varied backgrounds and whose works engage in social, political and cultural themes, this portfolio will reflect the artists' visualization of issues they are connected to while furthering the conference's vision and intention to perpetuate printmaking practices that nurture activism, bridge communities, and investigate the relationship between tradition and innovation.

Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You is the story of James Sveck, a sophisticated, vulnerable young man with a deep appreciation for the world and no idea how to live in it. James is eighteen, the child of divorced parents living in Manhattan. Articulate, sensitive, and cynical, he rejects all of the assumptions that govern the adult world around him–including the expectation that he will go to college in the fall. He would prefer to move to an old house in a small town somewhere in the Midwest. Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You takes place over a few broiling days in the summer of 2003 as James confides in his sympathetic grandmother, stymies his canny therapist, deplores his pretentious sister, and devises a fake online identity in order to pursue his crush on a much older coworker. Nothing turns out how he'd expected."Possibly one of the all-time great New York books, not to mention an archly comic gem" (Peter Gadol, LA Weekly), Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You is the insightful, powerfully moving story of a young man questioning his times, his family, his world, and himself.

CAMDEN-WYOMING, Del.- Delaware State Police say two brothers are facing a slew of charges after illegal drugs and numerous firearms were found inside a Kent County home.
Police said the arrests of 29-year-old Jason P. Cox and 33-year-old Michael D. Cox stemmed from an incident that occurred Tuesday, Jan. 22. Detectives responded to a home on the 500 block of Tobacco Road in Camden-Wyoming to investigate a report that Michael had an active capias out of a local court. When detectives arrived at the home, he was taken into custody without incident.
Police said Jason was also contacted at the home and found to be in possession of two shotgun shells. According to investigators, the two brothers are both prohibited from possessing, purchasing, or owning a firearm or ammunition due to previous felony convictions. A search warrant of the house was obtained and detectives said they located more than 500 grams of marijuana, 14 hydrocodone pills, 13 long guns consisting of shotguns and rifles, one handgun, several rounds of ammunition, and other drug paraphernalia.
Five children under the age of 15 were at the home and were turned over to another family member. The two brothers were transported back to DSP Troop 3 near Camden where they were charged with the aforementioned offenses. Jason was ordered held in the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center on $40,100 secured bond and Michael was ordered held in the JTVCC on $38,100 secured bond.

DENVER, N.C. – A Denver man was arrested Tuesday and is accused of sexually assaulting two young girls who were between the ages of five and 11-years-old.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office arrested Michael Van Benfield, 62 of Buoy Lane, after a complaint was filed September 9.
Benfield is charged with two felony counts each of first degree statutory rape, first degree sexual offense with a victim under 13-years-old, and taking indecent liberties with a minor.
The 11-year-old victim told her mother she was abused at various locations in Denver between 2000-2005.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office says the case is still under investigation and more charges will be filed.
Benfield is in jail under $500,000 bond.

Another day another squirter and boy was I psyched up especially when I saw how gorgeous the newest addition to the squirting club, Mallory Rae. She says she found out about her squirting talent during a bondage shoot. Since then she practiced hard to further develop her skills and now she claims she's now a squirting expert a certified PhD in Poon Fountainography! I decided to put this little lady to the test and sure enough she was able to produce the result. She says she can even make a bigger squirt with a guy with strong fingers. I came over and buried my face on her wet pussy and finger fucked her until she exploded with a big splash of twat juice! I then bent her over and sent my big dick on a wet and wild adventure as her pussy acts like a ticking time bomb ready to explode anytime!

This study demonstrates that epileptic dogs treated with phenobarbital alone or in combination with potassium bromide are
more likely to be hypertriglyceridemic. Hypertriglyceridemia has previously been hypothesized to be a risk factor for developing
pancreatitis. Thus, although not answered by this study, epileptic patients with hypertriglyceridemia secondary to treatment
should be monitored for development of pancreatitis, and epileptic patients with previously diagnosed pancreatitis should
be monitored for development of hypertriglyceridemia.

We will cover preprocessors, basic syntax, feeding data into templates, and incorporating logic. By the end of this book, you will be able to effectively use essential features such as filters and mixins as well as template inheritance through a block system. To tie it all together, we will also look at some of the best practices to follow when organizing your Jade projects.
Use this comprehensive guide to the Jade language to help you become a more efficient web developer.
This is a step-by step, tutorial-based book which will enable web developers to explore the functionalities of Jade and learn how to use it to write certain functions and processes for web development.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
Letters are special to a soldier overseas.
Although care packages are abundant, "letters don't come very often" because of other technologies such as email and Skype, said Sgt. Major Gerald Sewell of the Kentucky National Guard. That's why when letters from two young, twin brothers from Lily arrived for Sewell in Kuwait last year, he took notice.
"I knew where Lily was," the Lexington native said. "I grew up at Levi Jackson. We'd pack up our camper trailer and live down here during the whole summer."
Sewell was deployed to northern Kuwait, about 10 miles from the Iraqi border, from October 2011 until August this year. Having returned home to Georgetown, visiting his two young pen pals was among Sewell's top priorities.
"I knew I wanted to come down and meet these boys," he said, so David and Joseph Robinson, both second graders, got a surprise visit from Sewell Friday at London Elementary.
After attending a Boy Scout meeting one day, David came home asking if he could get a pen pal. Through a friend of a friend she worked with, Chasity Smith, the boys' mother, found Sewell's name and address.
"It started with a Christmas card," Smith said. "We didn't know if it would continue."
Smith said her son was diligent in writing to his pen pal, but not very patient about getting a return letter.
"He didn't understand how the mail worked over there, that he wouldn't get a letter back every day," she said.
After time, Joseph, too, began writing Sgt. Sewell. What impressed Smith the most was how Sewell took the time to write each boy their own reply, addressing the letters separately so that each had their own keepsake.
"He'd write them separate letters," she said. "They'd run to the mailbox and check it every day. We'd leave it (letter) in the mailbox so they could get it out themselves."
In some of the first letters, David would draw pictures.
"David likes snakes and bugs and anything gross," Smith said, "so he'd draw pictures of them."
Smith said the boys would ask what it was like over there, if Sewell had ever been to the Levi Jackson pool, and what his favorite animals were.
But Sewell best remembers this question from the boys:
"They asked me what color my bullets were," he said with a chuckle. "I got tickled because, being in the first and second grade, you have to read between the lines sometimes. I have two granddaughters the same age as these guys. (Writing back,) you can't talk like adults talk, you have to be down on their level."
Sewell shared his letters from the Robinson twins with other members of his battalion.
"And I told my soldiers, if you get one of these, you need to write back," he said.
Smith said David would get very protective of any letter that came from Sewell, running to his room to read it privately and refusing to share the letter with his parents.
"He told me it was illegal to read his mail," Smith said.
Despite them having sent a letter almost everyday, Sewell said he only actually received two letters from the Robinson twins.
Sewell, first a Navy man and later joining the Kentucky National Guard, has dedicated 36 years of his life to public service.
Kuwait was his first deployment.
"We were the last aviation brigade in Iraq during the withdraw," he said.
During his visit to London Elementary Friday, Sewell talked to David and Joseph's second-grade classrooms, displaying photos of his time in Kuwait on the smart board.
He also brought special gifts for the two boys. Each received a carved, wooden camel figurine from Kuwait and dog tags with their names on them.
Just as the letters are precious to him, David said he knew just where he would put the camel.
"I'm going to put it in my room, and when I look at it, I'll always remember my best friend," he said.
Sewell plans to continue writing the boys and encouraged them to do the same. Even before he left Kuwait in August, Sewell sent the two a final letter, including his home address and phone number so that they could always stay in touch.
"There's not many mentors that young people have to look up to nowadays," Sewell said. "My grandfather was in scouting. I'm an Eagle Scout. I try to live my life by the scout motto and oath. These things stick with you."

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — North Tonawanda coach Ryan Mountain sat down in a chair in his office, the top button of his red dress shirt undone, and scanned the final stats, nodding approvingly as he mumbled a few words: "Woodard, 11 rebounds … Stone, four steals."
He had reason to be pleased with his team's performance. The Lumberjacks had, after all, just fended off a tough, frenetic, freaky-athletic Sweet Home Panthers team.
In the midst of the back-and-forth Class A-1 quarterfinal battle between the 4 and 5 seeds, Mountain was passionate, emotional as he roamed the sidelines. But now, sitting serenely, asked what he preached to his comrades during a full week of practice to prepare them for Sweet Home, he sounded more like a philosopher.
"To focus the mind on the present moment, accept reality, seek improvement daily, putting the team before all else," Mountain said.
His squad won, 48-39, in the second round of the playoffs to advance to Buffalo State, where NT will play Williamsville South, which defeated Hutch Tech, 83-79, in overtime Friday.
North Tonawanda (13-6) junior forward Chris Woodard faced a tough task: competing in the paint against Sweet Home's lengthy big men, who sometimes look like they're playing on pogo sticks. Woodard was up to the challenge, amassing a dominant stat line of 18 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks. He said his team was exceptionally prepared for the game, which it led from start to finish, because it studied film on Sweet Home.
"We knew they were going to out-jump us," Woodard said. "Coach was telling me all week in practice, 'You've got to put a body on everybody. Every time a shot goes up, you've got to put a body on someone.'"
Senior guard Joe Piotrowski, who will play at Medaille next year, had 15 points, three rebounds and four steals. His most important bucket came with 1:30 remaining and his team leading by just five, 40-35, as the Panthers were mounting a late-game charge. While the shot clock winded down, Piotrowski caught the ball off a baseline inbounds pass at the top of the key, shot faked, took one dribble and nailed a mid-range jumper that essentially sealed the game.
"Just believe, play as a team, and we can beat anybody," Piotrowski said. "And that's what we believe – we believe whoever it was, whether it was Sweet Home or West Seneca East, whoever came here, we can hang with them and we can beat them."
The Jacks' 2-3 zone, which has been their primary defense all season, stymied Sweet Home's undersized guards at points in the game. NT also found a way to moderate the Panthers' full-court pressure. Sweet Home entered the game averaging 59 points per contest and finished with 20 fewer.
"Their pressure stung us a little bit, but it really didn't create points for them, so our preparation worked," Mountain said.
NT junior point guard Nehemiah Stone had an even stat line of four points, four assists and four steals. Senior forward Mike Awad added six points, three assists and four rebounds – including perhaps the two most critical of the game, both offensive boards in the final minute after NT had missed free throws.
Sweet Home had its season end with a record of 11-9.
NT and Williamsville South will play at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Buffalo State.

"A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that Arizona must continue for now to provide health care benefits to same-sex partners of state government workers.
"The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld a temporary block on a controversial 2009 state law that sought to strip health coverage for gay and lesbian domestic partners of Arizona employees.
"...'Today's decision means Arizona's lesbian and gay state employees will not suddenly find themselves without vital family health coverage,' said Tara Borelli, a Lambda Legal attorney who argued the case before the court."
