3 different fundraising ideas you've never heard of (Part II)
Posted on September 23, 2011 | No Comments
Or maybe you have. Here are three creative and intuitive ideas to help your organization raise funds:
- Eat out together. Team up with local restaurants to see if they would be willing to give you a percentage of sales for every person you bring to their location on a certain night. Send out fliers to everyone one of your supporters and have them pass it out to their friends, and have them bring it to the restaurant the night of the fundraiser. For example, Chili's has a "give back night" where they donate 10% for every check that comes in with the nonprofit's flier (that they actually provide). Although the program is Chili's, any organization with an appropriate Tax ID can receive these benefits.
- Babysitting events. Parents have a hard time finding time for themselves after they have children. Have your team set aside a night, say a Friday evening, where you have a temporary "day care" and target parents. Send the message that not only will they be supporting a local charity, but they will be doing themselves a favor to have time for themselves. A fair warning, you might want to team up with a lawyer to produce waivers for the parents to sign, to reduce your liability.
- Tailgate buffets. Why not take advantage of the sporting events in your area? Set up a hot dog stand with some drinks around a major sporting event (where tailgating is allowed), and since it's not possible in most areas for you to charge the consumer, ask for a donation instead. Not only does this relieve you of needing to get a business license and pay taxes, but you might actually end up gaining more than you anticipated. Remember Panera's charity cafes? It was a huge success, primarily because 60% of the donors actually gave more than the suggested fundraising amount.
Do you have any creative ideas for fundraising?

This year marks the 161st gun-deer season and DNR officials say they're seeing success across the Badger State.
But for some, the hunt has been challenging.
"It's been very slow, we basically haven't seen a tail," said Rick Jones.
Jones has been hunting for more than 40 years, and he's done well.
"Past years it was nothing to have 5 or 6 bucks hanging you know the first weekend," said Jones.
But this year has been different.
"It's been down and we don't like it so much, but we do enjoy the hunt and hunting isn't just about deer, it's about the comradery and the food we consume and make and just the fun you have," said Jones.
Jones said this year's unseasonably warm weather has definitely made an impact on the hunt.
"They don't have to move so much to keep warm, their food, seems like they don't need as much food," said Jones.
DNR officials say the weather can change the way deer will act.
"They've got their winter coats coming in and you know 55 degrees and with the bright sun overhead it's definitely going to be warm," said Ed Culhane.
But officials also stress gun-deer season can be unpredictable.
"Things change and deer movements change and they're not evenly distributed on the landscapes," said Culhane.
Although it hasn't been an ideal start, Jones said he's optimistic.
"You gotta be at the right place at the right time, when that bucks going to walk right into the area," said Jones.
He said he'll continue to hunt throughout the week, hoping to catch sight of a big buck.

Daniel Taylor
At about 8:45 p.m., on November 16, 1992, 41-year-old Jeffrey Lassiter, a drug dealer, and 37-year-old Sharon Haugabook, a prostitute, were fatally shot in Lassiter's apartment on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois.
A neighbor who saw men leaving the apartment building identified one of them as Dennis Mixon. Police also learned that a few weeks earlier, Mixon and Lassiter got into an altercation over a VCR. Mixon could not be found, however.
On December 2, police officers saw 15-year-old Lewis Gardner and 19-year-old Akia Phillips selling drugs on a street corner in the neighborhood of the double murder and arrested them. During interrogation, Gardner, who had an IQ of 70, said he got his drugs from
Deon Patrick
and that Patrick had been involved in the murders of Lassiter and Haugabook. Gardner said he had acted as a lookout outside the building when the killings took place. According to the police, Phillips admitted that he too had been a lookout, and said he would help solve the murders.
Gardner and Phillips then implicated Mixon, Phillips' brother Paul, Patrick and three others—Rodney Mathews, Joseph Brown, and 17-year-old Daniel Taylor.
At 2 a.m. on December 3, 1992, police detectives found Taylor, who had been taken from his mother at age 11 because of her drug use, in a state juvenile home and took him into custody. Three hours later, Taylor gave a confession that was transcribed by a court reporter.
In his confession, Taylor said that he, Mathews, Patrick and Mixon went to the apartment to collect a drug debt Lassiter owed to Mixon. Gardner, Brown and the Phillips brothers remained outside as lookouts. Taylor said that when Lassiter said he didn't have the money, Patrick shot him—and then shot Haugabook as Taylor and Mixon held her arms. Prior to the shooting, Taylor said he met with the others in a park at 7 p.m. to plan their visit to Lassiter.
That same night, Mathews, Brown, Patrick and Paul Phillips were arrested and gave recorded confessions that conformed to Taylor's statement.
As Taylor was being taken the police lockup, he told detectives that the confession was false and that he was in jail at the time of the murders after being arrested in a nearby park for fighting. Following up on Taylor's claim that he was in jail at the time of the murders, police found jail records showing that Taylor had indeed been arrested at 6:45 p.m. on November 16, 1992. A bond slip with Taylor's signature was time-stamped at 10 p.m.—more than an hour after the murders.
On December 12—less than two weeks later, two police officers filed a belated report saying that on the night of the murders, they saw Taylor in an alley near the shooting at about 9:30 p.m.
Three months later, Mixon was arrested and police said he confessed as well. In his confession, Mixon said that he had met with Taylor and the others in a park just prior to the murders and they discussed going to the apartment to confront Lassiter.
Taylor went to trial in Cook County Circuit Court in August 1995 on charges of murder, robbery and home invasion. By that time, Brown, Mathews and Akia Phillips were no longer in custody. Mathews had been acquitted by a jury after he testified his confession was coerced. The charges against the other two were dismissed—one because he was illegally arrested and the other because the police improperly promised him leniency in return for this confession.
At Taylor's trial, prosecutors presented his confession, as well as the testimony by police officers at the station where Taylor had been locked up on the evening of the shooting. The officers testified that it was likely that Taylor had signed the bond slip and was released prior to the shooting. They speculated that the slip was time-stamped at 10 p.m. by an officer who came on duty after Taylor was released.
The two officers, Sean Glinski and Michael Berti, who said they saw Taylor on the street—not in jail—shortly after the murders, also testified. They said that after hearing a radio call about the murders, they went to the scene and saw Taylor run into a nearby apartment, which turned out to be the residence of Akia and Paul Phillips. Glinski said he arrested Andrea Phillips, mother of Akia and Paul, for possession of cocaine and then drove Taylor to the youth shelter where they dropped him off at 10 p.m.
The prosecution also called Adrian Grimes, a convicted drug dealer, who testified that he saw Taylor in the park at about 7:30 p.m.—about an hour before the murders.
Taylor was convicted in September 1995 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. His conviction was upheld on appeal.
In December 2001, the Chicago Tribune newspaper published a series of articles detailing false and coerced confessions obtained by Chicago police. In nearly 250 murder cases over a decade, defendants who were said to have confessed were either acquitted or their cases dismissed. The series also included newly discovered evidence of Taylor's innocence.
By then, Mixon, Patrick, Paul Gardner and Paul Phillips also had been convicted and sentenced to prison.
Grimes, the drug dealer who said he saw Taylor in the park just before the murders, recanted and said he had lied to get leniency on a drug charge. The newspaper discovered that four months before officers Berti and Glinski wrote the report saying they saw Taylor in an alley just after the shooting, Berti had been accused by a judge of lying under oath in court.
Mixon admitted he had been present when Lassiter and Haugabook were killed and said that none of the seven others who gave confessions had been involved.
The newspaper found computer reports at the youth center that showed Taylor had returned to the facility at 3 a.m.—not 10 p.m. as Berti and Glinski claimed. And the newspaper also dug up the police lockup log book listing the names of everyone who was jailed that night. The newspaper located one of them, James Anderson, who recalled being in the lockup with Taylor on the night of the murders.
In response, the Cook County State's Attorney said it conducted a re-investigation of the case, but concluded that Taylor was guilty.
Taylor filed numerous appeals based on the Tribune's findings, but was unable to obtain a hearing. In 2011, Northwestern University's Center on Wrongful Convictions filed a federal petition for a writ of habeas corpus alleging prosecutors had failed to disclose that prior to Taylor's trial, police had interviewed Anderson and ignored his statement that he had been in the lockup with Taylor at the time of the shootings. The petition was dismissed, but in October 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit reinstated the petition.
While the case was pending, the Illinois Attorney General's Office reviewed the State's Attorney's trial file and discovered pre-trial notes written by a prosecutor after Taylor was charged with the murders. The notes showed that seven different police officers—two of whom had testified at Taylor's trial that Taylor was out of the lockup at the time of the murders—had confirmed that Taylor was in fact still in the lockup at the time of the murders. These notes were then turned over to the lawyers representing Taylor in federal court.
On June 28, 2013, the Cook County State's Attorney's Office filed a motion asking that Taylor's conviction be vacated. The motion was granted, the charges were dismissed and Taylor was released after more than 20 years in prison.
Lewis Gardner and Paul Phillips were each sentenced to 30 years in prison and were released several years earlier after completing their sentences. Patrick and Mixon were each sentenced to life in prison without parole. Prosecutors said that in light of their decision to dismiss Taylor's case, they would re-examine Patrick's case. On January 10, 2014, the charges against Patrick were dropped and he was released.
In January 2014, Cook County Circuit Court Chief Judge Paul P. Biebel Jr. awarded Taylor a certificate of innocence. In February, 2014, Taylor filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city of Chicago and eight Chicago police officers.

Thanks Kirsten!! If you want it, you'll acheive it Kirsten!!
I hope so! But these 30+ mile weeks are killing me. Seems that every time I surpass the 30+ mile mark in a week I feel beat up. But I have to at least 40 mpw next year, or no marathon. k
looks like you are playing it smart - are you doing a cut-back week every 3rd? Trust me,it's not worth it to push for the extra mileage if it means risking taking 10 -12 weeks "off". Besides, then you can be like Pam and Jeff - seems like I read somewhere that he waited a few years before running his first marathon, and he did OK
You're slacking on a couple weeks there, turbo.

And the writer starts to look like the kid in the schoolyard trying too hard to be a badass. Trying too hard is fatal, and has the opposite effect.
Again, I'm not against graphic violence, in books or on film. I love the movie Taxi Driver. And it's violent. But the violence is appropriate, and (to me) properly affecting. If the movie had been wall-to-wall graphic violence, it would've had about as much resonance as any forgettable slasher film. But the violence throughout the film was psychological and implied, so when the blood finally did flow, it actually meant something and did not seem cartoonish. It was disturbing. It was dark. As it should be.But graphic detail of physical violence is not a shortcut to true darkness. If we're striving for darkness, we gotta work a little harder than just describing entrails.Edward Albee's magnificent play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (where the violence is purely psychological) is much darker than some guy in a goalie mask butchering horny teenagers for no reason.
Now, I don't know where the perfect balance is, and I don't know how to find it. I just stumble along in the dark, trying this, trying that, until it feels right. I suspect that the point of perfect balance is different for each of us.
Where's yours?

[edit] Proposed Canon
When a unit is croaked in combat, it leaves behind a corpse, or material remains. These remains last until its side's next turn, at which point it unpops. Until the point of unpopping, its corpse may be claimed for a trophy, Uncroaked or Decrypted.
A corpse is also left behind for the duration of a turn if the unit is harvested.
[edit] Speculation
The corpse of an eligible unit killed in combat can be harvested for rations

Cascais in Portugal is the premier resort town of the Lisbon coastline that has responsibly developed around a beautiful and traditional town. Cascais is the perfect holiday destination for those tourists who want more than just a good beach and agreeable weather - Cascais provides immaculate parks, free museums, restored stately homes and Lisbon is only a short train ride away. So let us at Cascais-Portugal.com explain to you why you should visit Cascais, Portugal.
Unlike many other Mediterranean beach resorts, which suddenly sprung up with the advent of mass tourism, Cascais has been an established holiday destination since the early 19th century. The King of Portugal choose Cascais Portugal as his summer retreat and the high society of Portugal flocked to follow him. They constructed grand residences, fine parks and lavish entertainment venues which gave rise to Cascais' popular nickname "the town of kings and fishes". This trend of high society has continued through to the present day with many of Lisbon's rich and famous living close to the town.
The coastline surrounding Cascais has a variety of beaches able to cater for all styles of visitors. There are family orientated beaches with calm, clean bathing waters and soft golden sands and great facilities. For the more adventurous there are wild and rugged surfing beaches such as Praia Guincho which is considered to have the best swell in Portugal. All of these beaches are within a short distance of Cascais and are connected via the inexpensive public transport network.
Cascais is close to Lisbon and is connected by an inexpensive and regular train service. Lisbon is the most exciting capital of Europe combining culture, attractions and energy and is less than 20 minutes from Cascais. Cascais makes for an ideal base to explore Lisbon. To the north of Cascais Portugal is the delightful town of Sintra. The town has three magnificent state palaces, ruinous castle and a plethora of other grand buildings. Between Cascais and Sintra are the Serra de Sintra pine covered hills that offer wonderful scenery and hiking trails. The Cascais coastline is famed for it's championship grade golf courses, all of which can be easy reached.
In the town there are traditional authentic Portuguese restaurants with a smattering of more exotic cuisines but the whole area retains the atmosphere of class and maturity. Cascais is not a resort for groups looking for cheap drink; it is firmly aimed at couples (of all ages) and young families. Cascais has numerous small museums and stately homes which can easily fill a day for those visors who tire of the glorious beaches. Cascais' local government has smartly channeled this tourist revenue into enhancing the resort; all museums and stately homes are free and the parks are wonderfully maintained. Cascais is a resort that combines class, history with wonderful beaches and is a fantastic destination for a holiday and this great reputation was confirmed by the Lonely Planet travel guides. Let us here at Cascais-Portugal.com help you plan your holiday to the fantastic resort town of Cascais Portugal.

There Has Been A Major Escalation In UFO sightings! - Proof Is In The News!
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
In the last 5 years, there has been a major escalation in UFO sightings. Orbs of light, often in triangular formation, have been appearing all over the world. It is obvious that they are not flares, balloons, or Chinese lanterns. There truly are only two possibilities: they are in fact some form of extra-terrestrial spacecrafts, or they are military.
Here's why they aren't military:
1. The technology is too advanced. These are not solid triangular crafts, they are individual orbs of light. They are clearly employing anti-gravity technology. There are many videos and eyewitness accounts in which they are seen accelerating at high rates of speed and maneuvering in ways that suggest a level of technology hundreds if not thousands of years ahead of ours.
2. The exact same orbs have been appearing since at least the 1940s(see: foo fighters), when we definitely didn't have the technology to produce such a craft. There have been many, many sightings of these orbs(not to mention huge triangles and disk-shaped crafts) by highly credible witnesses all throughout the century.
We are being observed by beings from other planets. And is it really so surprising? There are 200 billion other solar systems just in our Milky Way Galaxy. There is life everywhere!
And what is so interesting and amazing is that they are not simply observing us from afar. They are intentionally appearing for us to see. They want us to see them. Why? What is the purpose?
Could it be they are attempting to wake us up to the reality that we are but one of many, many, intelligent civilizations in the Universe? If so, why don't they just land and talk to us?
Perhaps they understand it isn't best to force it upon us all at once. First contact is a very shocking thing. We need to time to absorb the reality of it. To get over the shock and disbelief.
These orb triangle appearances are part of a process designed to help us get over the shock and disbelief before they formally introduce themselves. These beings understand human psychology very well. They know what they are doing.
The question is: are they going to "arrive" at some predetermined date, or are they waiting for us to reach out to them in some way first? Or are they just waiting for our awareness to reach a certain level?
Whatever the answer, what we need to do is continue to raise awareness about this new reality, while also thinking of ways to reach out to them in peace and in unity.
Anonymous Coward 42480082
What about the part where they abduct millions of people against their will and perform painful medical exams and the abducted experience severe mental distress for the rest of their lives.
Is that just their way of saying hello?

- Villa Dria Gascogne Blanc Colombard Sauvignon 2012 Product #27154 (In Stock)
The motto here is "Gascony seen by a feminine point of view." Other than the fact that the estate is led by women, I'm not sure what that really means, but this is a heck of a delicious white for summer sipping. The blend is 80% Colombard – the main white grape in Gascony – for bright acidity and round texture and 20% Sauvignon Blanc for a big burst of fruit and touch of fresh hay. The fruit flavors coat your palate with ripe green melon, golden apple, and orange/tangerine flavors set off by lemony acids, a dash of minerality, and a whiff of fresh cut grass. A great summer sipper that delivers Sauvignon Blanc-like flavors that have been softened and tamed by the Colombard. Yummy.

The NFL hasn't had a blackout of a playoff game since 2002, though last week was a close one.
If a game isn't sold out 72 hours before kickoff, the Federal Communication Commission's rules impose TV blackouts on the home territory. Last weekend local companies stepped up at the last minute to buy the remaining tickets, essentially gaming the system.

The Two-Way Twinkies, Ho Hos, Other Hostess Cakes To Return On July 15 June 24, 2013 After disappearing when Hostess went into bankruptcy last year, the snack cakes that supposedly last forever are now really going to live on. New owners are bringing them back.
The Salt Booches' Famous Burgers Seek New Buns After Hostess Plant Closes KBIA-FM November 30, 2012 It's not just Twinkie hoarders and Ding Dong lovers that feel the pain of the Hostess factory closings. For the first time in about 40 years, Booches Billiard Hall in Columbia, Mo. has to go elsewhere to source the buns for its famous burgers. Regulars say they are adapting to the change.
The Two-Way Maybe Twinkies Do Last Forever: Union, Hostess Headed To Mediation November 19, 2012 According to a bankruptcy judge, Hostess and the major union representing its workers need to try to mediate their differences before the company can be liquidated. So maybe the company's taste treats won't disappear anytime soon.
The Two-Way No More Twinkies? Hostess Brands Is Shutting Down November 16, 2012 Already in bankruptcy protection, the company has also been dealing with a nationwide strike. It says it can't go on. So 18,500 jobs are being eliminated. And some iconic taste treats may soon be scarce.

I dont think it would be appropriate to post the events of that night here... but to the family, if you would like to hear my point of view after pulling up to the crash I would be happy to share this with you in private.
OMG I can remember when Megan was just a little girl coming to Mcgregor to visit. The night she couldnt sleep and we stayed up with that little rascal all night. SHE HAD HER MIND SET SHE WAS NOT SLEEPING. Gosh I miss her!!!
Another time that was so funny, she wanted her lip waxed . I told her it only hurt alttle bit. She hated me for about 1 minute after we did it... She said she would just be fuzzy. We laughed so hard after it was all over. Boy just to laugh with her again would be awesome;) -
I just happened across this site while trying to remember the anniversary of her passing and I'm thinking about how proud she must be of her little sister since Kaitlin just graduated.

Chevron gas project a disaster for sea turtles in Australia
Chevron's Gorgon project in Northwestern Australia south of Port Hedland is a disaster for sea turtles which nest on Barrow Island. The project was approved by the Australian government despite opposition from environmental groups and its own environmental advisors.
Since Chevron has taken over the existing oil drilling rigs on Barrow Island, environmental protection has gone downhill, according to people who have worked there. Australian flatback sea turtles nest on the remote island and forage and breed in the surrounding waters. This rare sea turtle nests only in Australia and is protected by the government. Yet that has not stopped the Western Australia government's new premiere Colin Barrett, a conservative, from giving it the green light.
The project is also dependent on very questionable carbon sequestration technology, where the excess CO2 from natural gas production will be pumped under the island instead of released into the atmosphere. This approach has never been proven to be safe or environmentally sound.
Up the coast in the Kimberley, fossil fuel giants want to build even more dirty plants for natural gas processing that would destroy a relatively intact eco-system. Chevron and the other oil barons need to pull back. See more at www.seaturtles.org and http://www.savethekimberley.com/

I worked on Gorgon for 3 years and I know that Chevron put a huge effort into turtle protection - I don't know how effective it has been, you could do with an update on what has actually happened versus what you projected, which seems a bit subjective to put it mildly. Talk to some of the many enviros on the programme!

HAZARD Cherie Berry, Commissioner of Labor 1- 800- 625- 2267 www. nclabor. com The N. C. Department of Labor investigated 11 workplace accidents involving mechanized equipment in 2007. Of those 11 accidents, eight were fatal. One of the nonfatal accidents resulted in the partial amputation of a worker's leg. Some summaries: Fatality: An airline worker was pinned between a baggage tug and the bottom of an aircraft. Fatality: A forklift operator was pinned between the back of a stand- up order picker forklift and a wall. Fatality: A forklift slid off the road, down an embankment, overturned, and crushed the operator. Fatality: A mower operator was pinned between the mower and a trailer after apparently losing control while mowing on a steep bank. Fatality: Aworker was struck by a tractor trailer while walking toward his vehicle. Accident: While backing out of an aisle, a forklift operator ran into a steel I- beam, amputating his left lower leg. Workers who operate or work around forklifts, mowers or other vehicles are at risk of injury from vehicle rollover or being struck by the vehicle or its components. Injuries and deaths can be prevented through wider use of rollover protective structures ( ROPS) and seat belts on forklifts, tractors and similar equipment. Additionally, employers should require compre-hensive operator training and should also establish and enforce thorough, site- specific safety plans. Since 1992, forklift manufacturers have been required to equip newly manufactured sit- down type forklifts with operator restraint systems. Many forklift manufacturers offer restraint systems that can be retrofitted onto older equipment. Fatalities resulting from overturns of sit- down type forklifts could be prevented if the operators were required to wear seatbelts or use other restraint systems. Crushing injuries are the most common vehicle injuries, but amputations are also common. Knowing where vehicles operate and knowing that they only operate in the assigned areas will keep other workers safe. Anywhere there are vehicles and mechanized equipment in use, a detailed site- specific plan is necessary. All employees should regularly review the plan. Some good ideas where vehicles and mechanized equipment are used include: Keep brakes and brake lights in good working condition. Block and chock on hills as needed. Keep lights working. Use seats and seat belts. Inspect all vehicles before use. Operating problems such as excessive speed, poor loading and carrying unauthorized passengers, in addition to poor truck maintenance, have the potential to cause accidents. Fatal accidents have occurred due to forklift turnover and running off loading docks. Workers have died when pinned between objects, struck by material, struck by forklifts, falling from the forklift and during forklift repair. Unfortunately, most employee injuries and property damage can be attributed to lack of safe operating procedures, lack of safety- rule enforcement, and insufficient or inadequate training. Supervisors and vehicle operators must know the vehicle limits and the operating environment to avoid accidents and fatalities. Division of Occupational Safety and Health 1101 Mail Service Center; Raleigh, NC 27699- 1101 Working With or Near Mechanized Equipment Can Be Deadly Overturned forklift resulted in fatality. The enclosed checklist is a guide for you to tailor and expand, depending on the conditions at your facility. Consider if vehicles in your workplace operate where there are hazards such as rough, uneven or sloped surfaces; unusual loads; hazardous areas; narrow aisles; blind spots; intersections; and pedestrian traffic or employees working close to the path of travel. This checklist is for your use. Feel free to copy and laminate it as needed. Vehicle and Equipment Operator Checklist Vehicles ROPS correctly installed Seat belts installed and in serviceable condition Manufacturer's safety features operating as required Manufacturer's warning labels installed and legible Controls labeled Attachments installed according to manufacturer's specifications Operators Training on specific type of equipment is current Familiar with site plan and vehicle operations area Visual equipment check satisfactorily completed before starting equipment Operational check completed before placing equipment in service Knowledgeable of manufacturer's specifications and recommendations Aware of intersections and other blind corners in work environment Equipment in Operation Check work areas for workers on foot before moving the machine Use spotters or barriers where necessary Know equipment's blind spots Knowledgeable of the hazards while operating machinery on unlevel surfaces Competent person continuously evaluating grades Seat belts worn continuously while equipment is in operation Continually evaluate safety programs to address changing conditions at the worksite.

Born in New York City on February 5, 1964, Laura Linney's first film role was in 1992's Lorenzo's Oil, but she made a bigger impression with her role the following year, in Dave (1993). She nabbed her first lead role on TV in 1994, with Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City. In 2000, Linney turned in one of her most critically acclaimed performances,
starring as the practical single mother Sammy Prescott in the independent film You Can Count on Me. Following various other film performances, in 2010, the actress landed the lead part in Showtime's acclaimed series The Big C. Linney continues to add film roles to her resume, including a part in the 2012 dramatic comedy Hyde Park on Hudson.
Early Life
Born on February 5, 1964, in New York City, to playwright Romulus Linney and nurse Ann Leggett Perse, Laura Linney grew up on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Her parents divorced when she was only 6 months old. The young Linney amused herself by nurturing her love of acting, which she pursued throughout her adolescence. She graduated from Brown University in 1986 with a degree in theater, then completed a graduate program in drama at the Juilliard School in New York City, where she roomed with fellow actress Jeanne Tripplehorn (Basic Instinct and The Firm).
Stage and Film Debut
In 1990, Linney landed a job as an understudy in the New York stage production of Six Degrees of Separation. She eventually took over the part, making her off-Broadway and Broadway debuts. Her first film role was as a young teacher in Lorenzo's Oil (1992), starring Nick Nolte, but she made a bigger impression on audiences for her small but memorable role in Dave (1993), in which she plays a White House secretary who has an affair with the president (played by Kevin Kline).
Early Career
Laura Linney nabbed her first lead role on television in 1994, earning raves for her performance as the naïve Mary Ann Singleton in the edgy PBS adaptation of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City. She would reprise the role in the sequel, shown on Showtime in 1998. A third installment aired in 2001. On the big screen, she continued to add film roles to her resume, playing opposite Steve Martin in the little-seen film A Simple Twist of Fate (1994), and co-starring in the adventure-thriller Congo (1995), which was a hit at the box office but a bust with critics. In 1997, Linney played the ex-lover and courtroom opponent of star Richard Gere's character in the thriller Primal Fear, also featuring Edward Norton and Frances McDormand. She also appeared as the daughter of Clint Eastwood's character in the political thriller Absolute Power (1997).
While building her career in Hollywood, Linney continued her impressive work in theater, giving a breakthrough performance in Sight Unseen in 1992, and starring opposite Tony Goldwyn in the Broadway revival of Philip Barry's Holiday in 1995. She returned to the Great White Way in 1998, co-starring in Honour with Jane Alexander.

1918 KANSAS AND KANSANS | Chapter 46 | Part 1 |
[Copy by Willard of Portrait in Library of Kansas State Historical Society]
The Price raid started from Southern Arkansas. In General Kirby Smith's letter of directions to General Price, St. Louis was made the objective point, the enlistment of recruits the chief end, and the devastation of Kansas a special injunction.1
The expedition entered Missouri from Pocahontas, Arkansas, and was met at Pilot Knob, Missouri, by General Thomas Ewing, Jr., of Kansas, and with an inferior force there detained until the attack on St. Louis became impracticable. At Franklin, Missouri, the raid turned in the direction of Kansas.
Major-General Samuel R. Curtis was in command of the Department of Kansas, with headquarters at Fort Leavenworth. In September, 1864, the frontier was threatened by Indians. In order to subdue them General Curtis had taken to the Plains every soldier the border could spare, and, leaving General Blunt to continue the campaign there, he returned. He reached his headquarters on the 17th of September, when he first learned of the approach of General Price. He saw the danger to Kansas. General Blunt was called in, and Governor Carney was induced to order out the Kansas militia. The campaigns for State and national elections were in active progress, and, seeing that the call for the militia was likely to produce little help because of that fact, General Curtis, on the 10th of October, placed Kansas under martial law; and on the same day he appointed as a member of his staff General James H. Lane, then United States Senator. On the 11th General Blunt arrived at Olathe and assumed command of the army, designated the Army of the Border. He found Kansas militia assembled to the number of twelve thousand (afterward increased to sixteen thousand) patriotic men anxious to battle to save the State from invasion. But political intrigue neutralized the support the militia stood ready to render and even made its presence a menace. Governor Carney owed his election to General Lane, but had fallen under the influence of Lane's political enemies, who were bitterly opposed to the re-election of President Lincoln. They exerted themselves to the utmost to embarrass and render futile every movement of the Union forces. In this crisis they came forward and denounced the demand for militia as a scheme originated by General Lane to take the citizens of Kansas out of the State and keep them beyond its borders until after the election. They pretended to believe these citizens were opposed to President Lincoln, that Lane knew it, and their absence in the field would enable him to carry the State for the President. Governor Carney controlled a newspaper, as did ex-Governor Robinson, and these papers ridiculed the possibility of the presence of General Price in Missouri.2
When it could no longer be denied that General Price was moving toward the Kansas border General Carney and his adherents insisted that the militia should not cross the State-line into Missouri, and that it should not be, subject to the orders of General Curtis, but should remain in Kansas and take orders only from Governor Carney and his officers.3
The appointment of General Blunt to the command of the Army of the Border was an incident favorable to Colonel Moonlight. He had been Blunt's chief-of-staff in 1862 and had great influence with him. On the 12th of October Moonlight sent Plumb the following dispatch:
Colonel Plumb: Concentrate your entire command (cavalry) on Blue, a little north of Aubry. I will be there to-night. Strike all the tents and send them with camp equipage to Olathe, leaving one wagon with each company, with rations, such cooking utensils as are necessary, and all the ammunition on hand and blankets. Concentrate rapidly. General Blunt desires that you remain at Olathe in command, with your staff, etc., until we are ready for the fight. I will send for you. You shall have your share, certain. |
Plumb, then Lieutenant-Colonel, did not escape the fate of the officer popular with his men, and jealousy of him was sometimes shown. He believed he saw in this dispatch an intention to ignore him as far as possible in the coining campaign. He sent General Blunt the following:
Major-General Blunt: My command is all concentrated on the Blue near the line. Fortifications here all completed; guns mounted and manned; muskets and ammunition all issued. There seems to be nothing further for me to do here. I would respectfully ask permission to join my command this evening or early in the morning. About 600 Douglas County militia in and many more coming. |
Blunt referred the matter to General Curtis; and Plumb was permitted to join his regiment, at the front, and was frequently in command of it during the campaign.
The brigades of the Army of the Border were formed at Hickman's Mills on the 15th of October. The Second Brigade was composed of the Eleventh Kansas, two companies of the Fifth Kansas, two companies of the Sixteenth Kansas, and four mountain howitzers. Colonel Moonlight was put in command of the brigade, and on the 16th marched to meet General Price and develop his position. Lexington was occupied on the 18th. All the forces of Price were rapidly concentrating in that region. As the Union officers were sitting down to dinner on the 19th Captain L. F. Green, Company B, Eleventh Kansas, entered and reported that he had just been driven in, and that Price's army was at hand. General Blunt, instantly ordered every officer to horse. It was not expected that the Confederate advance could long be checked at Lexington. Colonel Moonlight was given command of the rear. At midnight, after twelve hours of constant battle, the last stand was made at the crossing of the Sni, east of Wellington.6 At nine o'clock on the 20th General Blunt's forces took position on the west bank of the Little Blue River, eight miles northeast of Independence.
General Blunt wished to fight a decisive battle at the Little Blue, General Pleasanton was pressing Price's rear, and if Blunt could have had his way, the Confederate army might have been destroyed at the Little Blue. The plans of General Blunt could not be met, for Governor Carney and his politicians still insisted that General Price was not in Missouri at all, and that all the military movements of General Curtis were the result of Lane's scheming for political advantage. In fact, Governor Carney prepared a proclamation disbanding the militia the very day General Blunt formed his line along the Little Blue.7

General Price did not reach the Little Blue until the morning of the 21st of October. Because of the attitude of Governor Carney, General Curtis did not intend that any general engagement should be fought there. The Eleventh Kansas had been left at the crossing with orders to detain the enemy as long as it could do so with safety, then burn the bridge and retire in the direction of Independence. Colonel Moonlight's resistance was much more stubborn than had been expected of him. He held the line as long as possible, setting the bridge on fire and falling back slowly only when Price's cavalry had appeared in force on both his flanks. At this juncture General Blunt came on the field with reinforcements and made an effort to halt the advance of General Price. A part of the field taken from Moonlight was regained. General Curtis and General Lane both went to the front, but Curtis was induced to return to Independence.
All that day Price was slowly pushing Blunt back, and it required almost his entire army to do it. General Blunt had but thirty-five hundred men of all arms - perhaps not so many. They hugged fences, sought skirts of timber, utilized ditches and highways, and stood behind stone walls. For some time the Eleventh Kansas was out of ammunition and held its position by defiant cheers.8 Two miles back from the Little Blue a stand was made at the Massey farm. There the Eleventh was fiercely attacked, lost a number of men, and Major Ross had a horse killed. While supplying the Major with another horse, Captain B. F. Simpson saw Plumb with a company of skirmishers far out in advance of the battle-line. A strong position was taken at the Saunders farm, three miles west of Massey's and this was held until night. From this point General Blunt sent Lane to Independence to tell Curtis that the Big Blue would have to be the line on the 22d.9 Late at night the Union forces crossed the Big Blue and took position in such defensive works as had been constructed there. The line extended south from the Missouri River to Hickman's Mills along the west bank of the Big Blue River, although the main body of the army covered a space of some six miles only.
[Copy by Willard of Painting in Library of Kansas State Historical Society]
In 1864 Byram's Ford, on what is now Sixty-first Street, Kansas City, was the principal crossing on the Big Blue. It was the most important point held by the Union army, and it should have been guarded by a good soldier. By the intrigues then distracting the councils of the Army of the Border, Colonel C. R. Jennison, Fifteenth Kansas, had secured command of the First Brigade, and he was put in command of the troops defending Byram's Ford on the morning of the 22d of October.10 About noon he was attacked by a heavy force, and before three o'clock he was driven back. and lost the key to the Union position. His failure to hold Byram's Ford lost the day to General Curtis, as its capture turned the right flank of his army, crushed the right wing and caused it to take a now position just outside of Kansas City. General Price camped on the south side of Brush Creek, a small stream running east a mile south of Westport.
The Eleventh Kansas was holding a ford above that guarded by Colonel Jennison. Seeing the Confederate army pouring through the gap made in the line by his defeat, and, knowing there was nothing to prevent its entering Kansas, Colonel Moonlight marched by double-quick to the State-line, south of Westport. There he formed to check the Confederate advance. Colonel Plumb, with four companies of the Eleventh Kansas, drove back Jackman's brigade, and did it in a manner that called forth compliments from all who saw it. It was dusk. In speaking of it many years later Colonel Moonlight said:
This charge was under the immediate command of Lieutenant-Colonel Plumb, of the Eleventh Kansas Cavalry, with one wing of the regiment, and it was one of the neatest and prettiest movements of the campaign. The charge was made with a line almost as straight as on dress parade, and with a dash and vim, the boys cheering as they flew along the prairie into the ranks of the enemy.11 |
This charge was considered an event in the annals of the Eleventh Kansas, and is thus described by a Comrade of Colonel Plumb.12
Jackman's brigade was marching through the gap and had to be stopped else the Confederate army would pour over the State-line into Kansas. To check this advance was now the work of the Eleventh Kansas. The Confederates marched steadily northwest until they came in view of the Eleventh. At that instant Colonel Plumb with four companies was beginning his advance towards the rebels. Seeing this the Confederates stopped short and formed a line of battle facing Plumb, who took his men across the State-line to a little valley, and when his men were directly opposite the enemy, he halted them, faced about, formed his line and charged up the hill, his men cheering and firing at will after the first volley. The flashes of Plumb's guns were like fireflies on a damp night in summer. Jackman's brigade was swept from the field, and no further attempt was made by the enemy in that quarter.
The disaster to Colonel Veale's Regiment is best described in his official report:
General Curtis was greatly discouraged by the result of the battle of the Big Blue; it proved that little of the Kansas militia would be permitted by Governor Carney and his advisers to fight under Federal officers.
In the hope that he might secure better results by fighting on Kansas soil Curtis decided in the afternoon of the 22d to retire across the Kansas River at night; and he then sent his ammunition and supply trains to Wyandotte, now Kansas City, Kansas. Later he crossed the line himself 13 and was found in camp six miles west of Wyandotte. From this point he was prevailed on to return late at night to Kansas City for a council of war with his officers. This council opposed the retreat into Kansas, as it meant for one thing that Kansas City would be looted if not sacked; but General Curtis held out long for that action. He was not so much to blame. He had about four thousand volunteer troops and some sixteen thousand Kansas militia, the latter so hampered that it had been able to render little service. The fighting had been done principally by the volunteers. He had no hope of better results in future fighting with the militia officers acting independently of his orders, each regiment for itself. That afternoon Colonel Sandy Lowe, Twenty-first Militia, had stood by and seen Colonel Veale's regiment cut to pieces, not daring to aid his fellow-officer in the absence of express orders. The politicians about Governor Carney were urging General Curtis to fall back into Kansas, promising active support if he would do so. Curtis was an old man. He was loyal and patriotic, but the incessant intrigue of Carney and his associates had told on him. He did not believe his little force of volunteer troops could hold Price in check, and he counted very little on the militia outside of Kansas. If he had asserted himself, suppressed the Kansas politicians, and assumed vigorous command of the militia he could have defeated Price. He knew this, and also knew that he had a perfect right to do it, martial law being in effect and the laws of Kansas suspended. But he could not bring himself to the point of resisting Governor Carney.
The first decision of the council of war was to retreat, but General Curtis was finally prevailed on to stand his ground and have his trains return from Wyandotte. This result was not reached, however, until it had been decided by the officers to arrest General Curtis and put General Blunt in command of the army.
When the movements of the following day had been determined by the council it was dissolved. Then Carney and his advisers fell on General Curtis with such vigor that he promised them he would retreat into Kansas early Sunday morning; and he actually went to Westport to order the retreat. He found the battle in progress. General Blunt would not order a retreat with the troops under fire, and General Curtis did not do so. The co-operation of the greater part of the militia was lost, though it was anxious to a man to go into battle, those who secured the opportunity doing good service, demonstrating that victories rather than defeats could have been won had Governor Carney and his politicians been suppressed early in the campaign.
The attack on Price on Sunday was without much order and unity of action. About noon General Pleasanton arrived on the field in the rear of the Confederate army, and had General Curtis made the proper effort General Price's army could have been destroyed. When Price turned to retreat and the day was won Governor Carney and his militia officers became very enthusiastic and displayed great anxiety for the battle.
The Eleventh Kansas had been issued rations and ammunition early Sunday morning; for late Saturday night Captain B. F. Simpson had placed a cocked pistol at the ear of a disloyal pilot and forced him to take a boat to Wyandotte and bring a cargo of supplies for that purpose, before the return of the trains to the Missouri side. The position of the Eleventh on Sunday was on the extreme right of the Army of the Border, South of Westport, where it pushed a rebel force rapidly down the Stateline road; but it was not properly supported. Colonel Moonlight sounded the recall for Colonel Plumb, who was far in the advance with his men. If the Eleventh had been supported it would have been exactly opposite General Pleasanton when he came on the field, and the Confederate army would have been within the Union lines with escape very difficult, if not impossible.
With the appearance of Pleasanton the spell of stupidity was broken. Relieved of the incubus of Governor Carney and his advisers, General Curtis showed some of his old-time spirit. The Eleventh was thrown forward to keep abreast of Price's army to prevent the entrance into Kansas of any part of it on the retreat. This it accomplished as to the towns. It saved Mound City after a severe engagement and it reached Fort Scott only a few minutes ahead of a Confederate force sent to destroy it. As the Eleventh entered the town it was met by the people and received with cheers. "The Star Spangled Banner" was sung as the Old Flag was borne into the public square.
The Eleventh was in pursuit of Price to the Arkansas River. From Fort Smith it returned to Kansas through the Ozark Mountains of Northwest Arkansas. At Fort Smith the horses had broken into a cane-brake; eating the hard stalks of cane caused the death of some two hundred and fifty of them; and this number of men were compelled to march on foot. There was much rain and wet snow to march through. The country had been stripped by the Confederates on their retreat and supplied little for man or beast. Horses died on the road, thus constantly augmenting the column marching on foot. Colonel Plumb fared no better than his men, but he cheered and encouraged them. The first service of the Eleventh had been in this rugged region in 1862, and this march was a repetition of the hard experience of those days.
The regiment arrived at Paola, December 12, after a campaign of exactly two months.
1 See Rebellion Records, Series I, Vol. XLI, Part I, pp. 728-9. None of these things was attained. The need of more men west of the Mississippi was made most emphatic, but before he had reached Jefferson City General Price had decided not to issue a proclamation calling for more recruits. - Id., p. 633. General Blunt believed the invasion of Kansas to be the real purpose of the raid. See Id., pp. 580-1. While General Price was enjoined in explicit terms from pillage, this seems to have been the main achievement of the expedition. No other such train of plunder was ever gathered in Missouri as General Price collected and did his utmost to preserve and carry out with him. It was taken from friend and foe alike. This is said on the authority of Shelby and His Men, by Major John N. Edwards, General Shelby's Chief-of-Staff and historian of the Shelby brigade. In that work appears a long arraignment of General Price by Thomas C. Reynolds, then Confederate Governor of Missouri. 2 On the 20th of October, after the battle of Lexington, an editorial appeared in the Leavenworth Conservative, a loyal daily paper, which said: "The Times appears to have discovered the astounding fact that Price and his forces are south of the Arkansas River, and that Jim Lane is perpetrating a great humbug upon the volunteers of Kansas. . . . The effort upon the part of the Copperheads of Leavenworth and upon the Governor's staff, to induce him to order the militia home, even without consultation with General Curtis, is one of the boldest steps that has yet been put forth by the opposers of the administration. . . . The howl of petty politicians that the General of a Department is intriguing with Lane for political purposes is absurd." 3 See Rebellion Records, Series I, Vol. XLI, part I, official report of General Curtis; also pp. 572-3. General Blunt, on the 16th of October arrested Brigadier-General Fishback and Colonel Snoddy, of the militia. In his official report General Blunt says he did not inflict on them the death penalty because he knew "that they were the instruments selected by the Executive of Kansas, and others, their superiors in the military organization, to carry out their mischievous and disgraceful designs." General Curtis, in an effort to avoid the appearance of harshness, restored Fishback to his command. Snoddy's regiment elected James Montgomery Colonel and did good service. Governor Samuel J. Crawford, then a volunteer on the staff of General Curtis, in his Kansas in the Sixties, published in 1911, has much to say on this subject. Governor Crawford participated in the councils of the officers and in the operations in the field, and speaks from personal knowledge. He says: "If, at the proper time, General Curtis had arrested a half dozen politicians in the militia-camp and sent them to Fort Leavenworth in irons, and at the same time shot one or two militia brigadiers from the cannon's mouth, he could have had an invincible army of 15,000 men - infantry, cavalry and artillery - in line confronting Price when he crossed the Blue on the 22d. But instead most of them were away at a distance where they could be of no assistance. . . . I say that such mutineers should have been put in irons and shot before breakfast." 4 See Rebellion Records, Series I, Vol. XLI, Part III, p. 824. 5 Id., p. 824. 6 Of the actions of Plumb in the retreat from Lexington, Captain B. F. Simpson gives the best account yet found: "The rear-guard, under Moonlight, formed in the timber on the hill immediately west of Lexington. The Confederates were now in range, and fire was opened on them. Many saddles were emptied; but it was not the intention of Moonlight to try to hold the hill. He did not retreat until the enemy was almost on him, when he took his command down the north slope of the hill in good order. Plumb and I were among the last to leave the field. The road down the hill was worn or cut down into a limestone ledge, and was sunk three or four feet into the ledge in some places, and there were perpendicular banks or walls on the sides. About half-way down there was a square turn to the west, where the walls on either side were about six feet high solid rock. As Plumb and I reached this turn a caisson came upon us and tried to make the turn and pass us. It cramped and almost turned over, pressing us against the wall at the outer corner, and we were unable to extricate ourselves. We were pinned and pressed against the wall. "The Confederates were following us down the hill, and when in revolver range opened fire on us. Every minute they came closer, and the bullets were striking on the iron tires of the caisson wheels. We though we were lost, but Moonlight in some way learned of our plight and charged up the hill. He drove the rebels back and held them until the caisson was taken out and Plumb and I released from our perilous position. "We rode on after our command and were about the last of our force. At the crossing of Sni-a-bar Creek, three or four miles east of Wellington, there was a bridge. It was an old-fashioned wooden structure, boarded up the sides and roofed over with shingles. Just east of this bridge we came up with a soldier-boy, mounted and leading a horse. Plumb said the bridge ought to be burned, to which I agreed. We had matches and we cut shavings from the timbers and tried to start a fire. We had dismounted and given our bridle-reins to the boy. The rebels came up and opened fire on us, and the horses reared so that the boy could not hold them. Plumb told me to take our horses on through the bridge and wait for him until he got the fire going. I took the horses to the west of the bridge and led them into a depression out of the way of the rebel firing, which was beginning to be hot. The boy followed me, but I told him to go on and not wait for us. The firing was soon so heavy that Plumb could not remain on the bridge. The rebels were up to the entrance. It was run or be captured, and Plumb came running out at the west end, inquiring where the boy was. I told him the boy was safe and away ahead. Then we mounted our horses and escaped. The small fire Plumb had been able to start was put out by the rebels, and the bridge was not burned." 7 See the Leavenworth Daily Conservative, October 26, 1864; it says: "The deliberate labored attempt of the Governor, his subalterns, his satellites, his paid scribblers, and his unscrupulous adherents, to create sedition in the camp, distrust for our Generals, and political capital for himself and his motley crew has not failed to attract the attention and provoke the unmeasured condemnation of every true and honest man. "The General commanding the Department calls for reinforcements; the Governor and his bolting Copperhead crew, while apparently complying with his request, take pains to tell our soldiers there is no enemy at the front, and while our soldiers were facing death on the field on Thursday, the Governor actually prepared his proclamation to disband the militia." 8 See Rebellion, Records, Series 1, Vol. XLI, Part 1, p. 592, official report, of Colonel Moonlight. 9 These details were furnished by Captain B. F. Simpson, Paola, Kansas. He was first directed to carry the dispatch to General Curtis, but General Lane believed that some other man should be sent, Simpson being then boyish in appearance. Lane was sent to confer with Curtis. 10 Jennison had been commissioned Colonel of the Seventh Kansas by Governor Robinson in the fall of 1861. His murderous forays and plundering proclivities coming to the attention of the authorities, he was forced to resign in March, 1862. So proficient was he in lifting livestock that the pedigree of many a horse found in Kansas in that day was tersely expressed in "out of Missouri by Jennison." After the Lawrence Massacre Governor Carney, then under the influence of those opposed to General Lane and to the re-election of President Lincoln, commissioned Jennison Colonel of the Fifteenth Kansas. This same influence pushed him to the front in the campaign against General Price. He was a Federal guerrilla. 11 Letter in the Leavenworth Standard, December 3, 1881. 12 Walter Wellhouse , Company A, Eleventh Kansas, late Secretary Kansas State Horticultural Society. 13 "Among other proof on this point, of which there is much, is the statement of Charles Waring, of Manhattan, Kansas, June 21, 1910. Waring was in Company G, Eleventh Kansas. At the time of the Price raid he was serving in the band of General Curtis. This band furnished the music at the funeral of Major J. Nelson Smith, Second Colorado, who was killed in the battle at Little Blue, and buried Saturday afternoon, October 22d, in a cemetery between Westport and Kansas City. General Curtis attended the funeral, but left before the ceremonies were ended, ordering the band to follow him to Wyandotte. At Wyandotte he could not be found, and the band followed him out to the "Six-mile House," on the Leavenworth road, where he was found in camp. Waring says that from that time the men had little confidence in General Curtis. |

Title | Empirical equations describing attenuation of peaks of strong ground motion, in terms of magnitude, distance, path effects and site conditions, 1995 |
Title (alternate) | Civil Engineering Technical Report Series - Strong Motion Group Contributions CE 95-02 |
Type of alternate title | series |
Description | In this report we present amplitude attenuation equations for peaks of strong motion acceleration, velocity and displacement. These equations depend on magnitude scale, M, representative distance to the fault, ∆, fault length, type of propagation path and fraction of epicentral distance travelled through basement rocks (0 < r < 1). Near the recording station, the local geological conditions can be characterized either by the geologic site parameters s (distinguishing between sediments and basement rock) or by the depth of sediments, h. the local soil conditions are described by the local soil conditions are described by the local soil parameter s sub L (distinguishing rock, stiff and deep soil conditions). We examined the relative significance of the common site parameters, which are used to describe the site specific amplitudes of strong motion amplitudes. We found that the average velocity of the shear waves in the top 30 m below ground surface is not a significant parameter influencing the peak amplitudes of acceleration, velocity and displacement. |
