Between 1940 and 1973, six American presidents from both political parties—Franklin Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Nixon—secretly recorded on tape just under 5,000 hours of their meetings and telephone conversations. The Miller Center's Presidential Recordings Program is a unique effort aimed at making these remarkable historical sources accessible.
Our newest additions to our LBJ series (with W.W. Norton) are now available. Edited by Guian McKee, Kent Germany, and David Carter, these volumes were given a Starred Review in Publishers Weekly (April), which said the volumes constituted "a significant record of American history in the making, and for anyone fascinated by LBJ or the inner working of the White House, this is an invaluable record." You can buy them here.

The JFK Library has released a new tape from September 18, 1963, in which President Kennedy and NASA∇ Administrator James Webb discuss the race to the moon. The Library's press release is reproduced below.
A roundup of recent press coverage of PRP's work, including New York Times, National Journal, and Texas Monthly.
On Thursday, April 28 at 7:00pm, the National Archives in Washington, D.C. will host a special program to mark the Miller Center's release of the highly-anticipated seventh and eighth volumes in its award-winning print series, The Presidential Recordings: Lyndon B. Johnson. Free and open to the public, this event will be held at the National Archives' McGowan Theater and will feature Pulitzer Prize winning author Taylor Branch and the editors of the volumes.
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard is visiting the White House today to meet with President Obama. The United States and Australia have shared a close relationship since World War II, and top level discussions are quite frequent. We've added a couple of new transcripts to our previously compiled highlights from the mentions of Australia on the White House Tapes.
Today marks the 46th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, when Civil Rights activists marching from Selma to Montgomery in support of voting rights were confronted with brutal and violent law enforcement tactics. In this virtual exhibit, former PRP intern Alice Anne Stephens looked at LBJ's handling of the aftermath of this pivotal moment in the Civil Rights struggle. Click on the link to hear LBJ's frustrations in dealing with Alabama Governor George Wallace, who LBJ came to regard as "a very treacherous guy" and a "no-good son-of-a-bitch": "The President, the Wildcard, and the Link," by Alice Anne Stephens.
On June 11, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson tells Sen. Richard Russell, "We're doing just fine except for this damn Vietnam thing." On June 29, FBI∇ Director J. Edgar Hoover∇ engages in a smear campaign against the mother of a missing civil-rights worker, telling Johnson, "She's a Communist, you know." These are among the conversations that are included in major releases of Johnson White House tapes by the Miller Center's Presidential Recordings Program.
With such an impressive and distinguished record, Thurgood Marshall became an ideal candidate to help with LBJ's efforts to break down racial barriers to promotion to top government positions. Johnson appointed Marshall as Solicitor General in 1965 and made it clear then that after Marshall built up more experience in that office that he hoped to be able to appoint him to the Supreme Court before the end of his presidency. But before he did so, he wanted to be sure that there could be no criticism whatsoever that Marshall did not have the necessary experience. As he told Roy Wilkins, the Executive Director of the NAACP, "I want to build him up where he's impenetrable when he becomes a Supreme Court justice."
We've posted some new transcripts from the JFK Dictabelts. These are of telephone calls from March 1963. Topics include Everett Dirksen's calls for a Senate investigation into the Bay of Pigs invasion, Philip Graham's criticism of COMSAT, and the political sensitivities of a proposed IRS reorganization plan.
To coincide with the centennial of Ronald Reagan's birthday, we're posting a few new transcripts with and about Reagan from the Nixon tapes. At the time of these calls, Reagan was the Governor of California and a rising star of the national Republican Party.
Sargent Shriver has passed away. The founding Peace Corps director, director of LBJ's War on Poverty effort, and vice presidential candidate appears often on the LBJ tapes and occasionally on the JFK tapes. Click on the links to listen to fascinating conversations from the LBJ tapes with and about Shriver.
Civil Rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King plays a prominent role on the JFK and LBJ tapes. We've previously compiled sets of conversations related to Dr. Martin Luther King and presidents Kennedy and Johnson. Click on the Read More link to hear the conversations.
To help mark the 50th anniversary of the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy, David S. Ferriero, Archivist of the United States, and Caroline Kennedy, President of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, today unveiled the nation's largest online digitized presidential archive, providing unprecedented global access to the most important papers, records, photographs and recordings of President John F. Kennedy's thousand days in office.
It is with much pleasure that we can announce that the Presidential Recordings of Lyndon B. Johnson Digital Edition has been published by the University of Virginia Press in their prestigious Rotunda digital imprint. The edition currently consists of three series: War on Poverty, 1964 (edited by Guian McKee); Civil Rights, 1964 (edited by Kent Germany); and Vietnam, 1964-65 (edited by Marc Selverstone and David Coleman). The entire edition is fully searchable, accessible via a timeline view, and each transcript page includes the original audio.
Ted Sorensen has died. A close adviser and speechwriter for John F. Kennedy, Sorensen did not stay long into Johnson's term, but LBJ respected his advice and sought his counsel on several important matters. In this clip, LBJ describes him as "the smartest man I've met in this White House."

- Bodencatena (1) (remove)
- Soil-plant dynamics of water, nitrogen and sulfur: A study on indigenous and exotic tree species in Munessa Forest, Ethiopia (2005)
- Forest plantations are necessary to counteract the destruction of tropical montane forests. Sustainable forestry requires comprehensive knowledge of tree effects on site conditions and nutrient cycling, but substantial information is lacking even for widely-planted species. In my work, I aimed at identifying such plant effects on ecosystem dynamics, focussing on water, nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S), which included the development of a stable-isotope methodology for S. Based on a characterization of the soils of the study area at the Main Ethiopian Rift Valley escarpment, experimental plots were set up in neighbouring stands of a natural forest dominated by Podocarpus falcatus and in plantations of Cupressus lusitanica and Eucalyptus globulus. All investigations on the ecology of these trees were conducted on the same single-tree centred plots in a combination of time series of natural parameters with isotope tracer experiments, employing inorganic 15N tracers and litter labelled with 34S. Soils of the region reflected the influence of climate and relief, while the homogeneous bedrock caused no influence throughout the region. Methodological work to improve d34S analysis was a precondition for the ecological study on S dynamics. Technical adjustments to the analytical system including a liquid-nitrogen trap reduced the amount of S required for reliable d34S determination by a factor of six compared to the conventional procedure. Soil-plant water dynamics were strongly related to the root system. P. falcatus with high fine root biomass to below 1 m depth appeared active in redistributing soil water. Its physiological response to changing soil moisture with a marked reduction in transpiration (by a factor of six) at dry conditions had a further balancing effect. P. falcatus and C. lusitanica expanded their root systems substantially in the dry season, shifting to deeper layers. Seasonality was very weakly expressed for root biomass and depth of water uptake under E. globulus. It mainly relied on deep water resources tapped by its low-biomass root system, supporting physiological activity in the dry season, when transpiration was increased by a factor of five. Soil labelling with 15N showed similar patterns of root activity. It also revealed the dominance of C. lusitanica near the surface, with its roots effectively intercepting nutrients. However, this had negative impacts on deeper soil layers by reducing biological transformations and increasing leaching losses. In the natural forest, phosphate-extractable soil N and low natural-abundance d15N indicated an intense, conservative N cycling in the upper 60 cm, which was also evenly exploited by the roots of P. falcatus. Nitrogen uptake by E. globulus was concentrated in the deeper layers. A preferential stabilization of N was observed in the topsoil, while losses were indicated by high natural-abundance d15N values, which probably reflected recent processes. As for the trees, species-specific N uptake strategies were observed for the understorey. Litter for the S mineralization experiment was successfully labelled with 34S, opening a way to elucidate soil processes as well as plant uptake and recirculation. Different regimes of decomposition resulted in increasing extractability of S in the topsoil with depth under P. falcatus and C. lusitanica, whereas a decrease was noticed in the E. globulus stand. Seasonality of both bulk and extractable S were minimal. Isotope labelling showed rapid incorporation of litter into the topsoil of E. globulus, while S from litter of C. lusitanica was susceptible to leaching. Plant uptake by P. falcatus and E. globulus led to a steady increase of d34S values. In contrast, isotope enrichment in C. lusitanica leaves peaked after the first rainy season, thereby indicating recirculation of S. The different approaches of my work complemented one another, revealing a consistent pattern of plant traits. P. falcatus had a balancing influence on the ecosystem and appeared to promote soil life. C. lusitanica confined biological transformations to the topsoil and raised the risk of leaching losses. E. globulus was largely independent of superficial resources, giving space to understory growth. This strategy may lead to depletion of groundwater and structural deterioration of the soil.

Presenting: My Sandbox Campaign Hexmap
In the best spirit of Gary and his love for hidden names and anagrams, I've taken the liberty of spreading a few RPG blogger and gamer references through the map (there are lots more in our hex encounters, so don't feel slighted!). Can you find some of them?

Funny enough, I was working on my new sandbox map last night as well, though I haven't gone as far and wide as you have. I'm starting a bit more "zoomed in" and will add to it as the players start to move.
I second the "what's the scale" question.
Looks awesome!

Good question! I don't have my key/legend up yet, but we're looking at 10mi=1 hex. 5mi was a little small, and 20 was cavernous.

Here's a question. When I lay out maps, I tend to do it in terms of "How many days' ride?" when separating things. My feeble research has come up with a rough estimated maximum of 30 mi/day of normal riding of a trained and conditioned horse for an armored knight or soldier. 60 mi/day if riding hard and traveling light. These are numbers for travel on well-traveled routes, with the required rest for the animal.
I figure the average adventuring group, errant knight, or military patrol is looking at 20 miles/day, unless they're in a hurry.
Anybody take a similar approach, or have different numbers?
- September 14, 2009 at 4:00 PM
- Zachary The First said...
@1d30: No, that's not a missing town. It's purposefully left off. Good eye, though! ;)
Re: Landforms and biomes, there's a lot written on the subject in worldbuilding groups and the like. I look at old Greyhawk, Mystaea, etc., maps, and go for what "feels" right. But I do start with mountains, add hills, add rivers and lakes, add woods and wetlands, as a general rule.
@Jason: We're pretty close. I have a standard group over light terrain making 20 miles in a day under ideal circumstances. Any sort of encounter drops it to roughly 10 (this is all gamey ballpark stuff). For really hard going, such as mountains, I round up/down to 10. Double or triple for horseback.

Online storage often comes under attack over IPR of images, concerns about control, heated rants about how company x is making use of *our* files / photos to generate revenue on a free service, etc and we only have ourselves to blame for not reading the T&Cs fully, for not keeping abreast of changes to the T&Cs (though some companies make life extremely difficult to find the changes or contribute to those changes) and for not accepting that if we take part in a free service then there are likely to be limitations and issues. We take on that risk ourselves and we need to accept some responsibility for that. Whether we are talking about LinkedIn using profile photos of members in their marketing by default, changes to FaceBook privacy options, changes in security / ownership when companies merge products there have been so many times when the masses rise up indignantly to protest and then rush around making changes and, in the worse cases, swap services and yes, I have been there, expressing my frustration too.
This is increasingly important if we are asking children to make use of these tools as we are being trusted in our judgement and selection of these tools after all not all children, across the broad age range we have using these tools, are emotionally, intellectually or perhaps even legally in a position to make some of these choices on their own but that is a discussion for another time probably.
But discussions today centred around online storage, and in particular the growing use of DropBox to remove the need for USB memory devices. For those who have not come across DropBox.com, it is a an online storage system which will synchronise selected folders from one or multiple devices to an online repository. Folders or sub-folders can be shared for automated synching with other users, making it a fantastic tool for collaborative sharing of files and materials. There are a number of other tools like this ranging from Microsofts SkyDrive, shared document libraries in Sharepoint, Moxy, Box.net, ADrive and many more. DropBox and SkyDrive are both free so that is why you will see them in heavy use especially in education. Free comes with limits though and sometimes that can be the amount of space, sometimes the SLA doesnt really exist and sometimes there is a lack of control over certain aspects of functionality or how it changes.
When it comes to DropBox though, my main concern is that users are significantly at risk of breaching the Data Protection Act and they dont even know it. This is especially important right now as it is being recommended to NQTs who might not know any better lets face it, there is not that much about Copyright law, Data Protection and IPR within teacher training and, from what I have seen and been told, there is a presumption that this is covered within schools by school policies and we all know how wonderful many schools are for having decent Data Protection policies and explaining them to *all* staff.
I know that my blog is read by a wide range of people so I just need to go back a little to cover an aspect or two of the Data Protection Act. The DPA has 8 principles, which are pretty self explanatory and the 2 most important principles to look at for this conversation are 7 & 8.
If we start with DPA Principle 8 first this about where data can be stored, moved through, processed, accessed, etc. And this is the first place we fall down with DrpoBox. There is an ongoing query that has never been fully answered about whether DropBox.com is compliant with this.
When you look at the list you will spot that DropBox.com is not there. When you dig through the T&Cs for DropBox you will find that they use Amazon for their storage facilities which is good Amazon *are* on the Safe Harbor list so that seems to tick the boxes apart from they dont say that they will only ever use Amazon and they dont say how they use them, and what agreements they have in place. Ah so we are back to square one then.
I have asked the question twice now of DropBox.com and not even had tickets opened. There is a discussion at the moment about this on the forums and still no definitive answer.
To deal with this I know some users of DropBox will make use of other security solutions to bolster how they deal with DropBox. This involves using an encryption tool to create a secure folder / file which is then synchronised via the only service. A common tool for this is TrueCrypt and that works fine at a technical level meeting the criteria of DPA Principle 7, where you are taking suitable technical measures to ensure the security of data but the principles are not pic and mix you have to meet them all. Right now I use an encrypted folder on Dropbox for my non-sensitive files (so only I and others I trust can access them) and do not use it at all for sensitive items.
For sharing pictures for stimulus with others (teachers / children), for sharing videos, etc, especially cross-platform and when using apps on mobile devices, then I can see that it will be fine for use in UK schools but for staff to share in general no not yet.
SkyDrive does meet the criteria as the data centre used is in Ireland, but I know that there are some who have issues about a tie in or lock in with Microsoft and what happens to Live@Edu and Office365. It is still worth thinking carefully about what you are sharing with others and how.

Kéré is a world-renowned architect with projects in India, China, Spain, Yemen, Togo, and his home country of Burkina Faso. His integration of technology and vernacular architecture enable him to actualize unique, appealing and environmental solutions that reflect their historical and cultural context. In the case of Mali, these range from 15th century Dogon villages nestled in sandstone cliffs to French colonial-era botanical gardens.
Kéré's buildings in the National Park and Mosque include a restaurant, tea house, sports grounds, visitors center, and entrance pavilion. Each of the facilities shares common elements such as slanted steel roofs hovering atop adobe bases. Echoing the ancient baobab trees and sandstone cliffs are lattice-work walls carved from local stone, and all of the structures are open to allow for natural ventilation (the restaurant at the National Park is the only facility with air conditioning).
The sports center at the National Park is split up into three pavilions situated around an ellipsoidal playground. The National Park's restaurant follows the same architectonical language; it is separated into four cubes, each with a different purpose. The dining area sits atop a rock formation overlooking a nearby lake, flower garden, grove of trees, and some of the many trails and pathways.
Open space, simplicity, and functionality are the creative forces behind the structures at the expansive National Park of Mali, as well as the visitor's center at the Great Mosque of Mopti.

Furthermore, there are no musical styles that remain un-plundered, making a fruitful landscape that relieves the generally dark nature of the songs. A landmark album which I think people will mark as a beacon in their musical experiences.

Well, here it is, the last day of Black History Month and all month I have been reflecting on what an honor it is to be working at a trailblazing library system, such as Kalamazoo Public Library. Why would I call KPL a trailblazer? Well, it all started with Mrs. Alma Harrod Powell. She was before her time. She went from being a housekeeper to a Library Assistant to a renowned storyteller and historian. It all started while working in the home of a world traveler, Mr. Larry Firth. Mr. Firth would return from Africa with artifacts that heightened Mrs. Powell interest in African history. In 1944 she participated in an apprenticeship course at KPL and in 1946 she became a KPL Library Assistant. In 1957 Mrs. Powell received a citation from the Michigan Library Association which acknowledged her skill as a storyteller. In 1968 a small library room in Lincoln School opened and was named Alma Powell Library Project. Mrs. Powell was followed by Mary Mace Spradling and Roberta Cheney. They were trailblazers in their own rights.
This all happened at KPL in Kalamazoo, Michigan before the civil rights movement. As a black female Mrs. Powell was a pioneer and Kalamazoo Public Library was a trailblazer. And we keep right on blazing because this year KPL will be the first library in Michigan to have its own antiracism team. We have begun selecting a team and we will begin training and working towards institutional equality.
Yes, as I said, it is truly an honor to be a part of this historical establishment.
We're seeing more and more dads in the Children's Room, as they bring their kids to storytime, choose books to take home, and share in the fun of playing with toys in the Story Place.
As more dads take on caregiver responsibilities, we are glad to see more parenting books written just for them. A Dad's Guide to Childcare is one that I like. It's practical, has clear photos that illustrate step-by-step processes, and even addresses difficult situations that may come up.
As part of the renovation of the Central Library Children's Room, we've added some more Parenting books to our shelves. If you're looking for books about parenting children from birth to 5 years, you can now find those books in the Children's Room. We'd be glad to help you find the books that are just right for your family.
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is an exciting new program at Kalamazoo Public Library for all children from birth to entering Kindergarten. It's super simple, self paced, and provides a way for your child to earn a prize for every 50 books you read aloud to her and then a gift and certificate of completion when you reach 1,000 books. More important, since reading aloud to your child is the best way to prepare for kindergarten, 1,000 Before Kindergarten is a way for you to do just that - read lots of books with your child!
A parent asked me if the books she reads to her child for 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten need to be library books. They do not. While Kalamazoo Public Library certainly has many thousands of books we can all share together with our preschool aged children, you might find yourself reading a book aloud to your child that you found at the Friends bookstore or that was passed along to you or purchased elsewhere. Of course this is just great! And the way you read the books is also completely up to you. Some books are made to be sung to your child. Other books benefit from the animal sounds you supply. There is a whole world of fun to be had reading to our children.
It's easy to sign up at the any KPL location. Learn more about 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten at KPL and continue down the road to Kindergarten. And if you're in the mood for a fun read aloud that will help you think ahead to Springtime, check out 999 Frogs Wake Up.
The newly renovated Children's Room is open and ready for you to explore! There are many exciting new features including a parenting section, folk and fairy tales highlighted in the Alice in Wonderland Room, and more display space for new Fiction, new Non-fiction, and new Picture Books.
The Story Place has room for Lego at the Library, story time programs, and more. I hope you'll take time to come in and see the new Children's Room over the holiday break.
We've been busy renovating the Children's Room. Now there's a brand new Story Place! Soon there will be a new shelving layout and an exciting new Fairy Tale room that continues to feature Conrad Kaufman's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland themed murals and Jamie Rife's "Tall Small Alice" stained glass installation that so many have enjoyed over the years. The Children's Room will be closed Monday, December 16th, through Wednesday, December 18th, in order to change the way the room is arranged. The new Story Place will remain open for Toddler Storytime on the morning of Tuesday, December 17th. When Children's Room reopens on Thursday, December 19th, we hope you'll find an exciting new layout.
We're in the brand new Story Place this morning,
We're reading stories and we're having fun,
We're glad you came to Story Time this morning,
I hope that you will want to sing along!
Our next Musical Storytime is coming right up! Last time, the multi-talented Mr. Ben Lau showed, played, and told us all about the pedal steel guitar! What an interesting mechanical musical instrument! It was neat to see how the cables, rods, and pedals work with Ben's musical playing to create music. Plus the pedal steel guitar makes some pretty great letter crane sounds!
At Musical Storytime, we read stories, sing songs, play musical games and generally have fun with music, songs, and our imaginations. Everyone is always welcome. The program is designed for children from preschool age up to about eight years old.
The Local History Room has had to close up for a couple of days while we get organized into our expanded space. Things are quite a mess right now, but soon we'll be enjoying more room and a great new layout.
Our collection isn't accessible at the moment, but don't forget that all the genealogy databases can be accessed from any of the computers in the Central Library and the branches, and there are many wonderful local history and genealogy books available in the circulating collection.
Octy, who speaks with musical notes, not words as you and I do, wanted to let you know that the surgery was successful. Like Adele, John Mayer, and others lately, it was an issue with the vocal cords. Octy was overdoing it and was having a difficult time speaking and singing in tune. You might be glad to know that Octy's voice is recovering nicely. Octy would love to hear from you, especially with messages of "speedy recovery" or "best wishes". Feel free to drop Octy a line via the mailbox in Children's Room (see picture) or through the USPS addressed to "Octy" care of: Children's Room, Kalamazoo Public Library, 315 S Rose St, Kalamazoo, MI 49007.

Do you remember your first wallet? I do. Mine was purple canvas with hot pink piping and a Velcro closure. In it was a few coins and my first piece of identification - my library card. I still remember the pride I felt the first time I checked out books at Palos Heights Public Library. My library card was like a golden ticket to Wonka's factory.
September is Library Card Sign-up Month - a time when the American Library Association and libraries across the country remind parents and caregivers that a library card is the most important school supply of all.
Since 1987, Library Card Sign-up Month has been held each September to mark the beginning of the school year. For students, a library card is their most essential school supply. A library card proides access to e-books, online homework help and a multitude of online research tools and resources for their studies. A library card at KPL also means access to computers and free Internet access. For those without Internet access at home, a library card may mean the difference between failing and having a successful school year.
Library Card Sign-up Month is also a great time to share your first library card story with friends, family and colleagues who don't have their own library card. Share with them the true value of libraries, and tell them what your library means to you! More than just books, today's libraries offer DVDs, CDs, e-books, music downloads, free Internet access and computer use as well as access to hundreds of online resources.
If you don't have a library card, what are you waiting for? Get signed up today!
What is your first library card story? Share it with us in the comments below, and we may feature your story on the homepage of our website during the month of September!
Music for: Kids, Teens & Tweens

In Film We TrustA life in analogue requires trust, understanding, and appreciation of the tools of making images and skills that the digital grind doesn't necessarily require. These are the skills that make analogue photography more memorable and more permanent.
Love, Loss, and Lomography: A Story of Healing Through Analogue ArtLet me say that this is an extremely personal story and I am not seeking your sympathy, nor your shock. My life ended and began again on March 28, 2010. That was the day I lost the love of my life, my partner, my lover and my best friend, Laurie Jensen. I can't actually get into the details, as the Coroner's report is still pending.
The Time-Tagging Photo Rumble: Noon ended over 3 years agoNoontime is when the sun is at its hottest, burning napes among pedestrians and commuters.

Ready for a color explosion the Icelandic way?
Flooding in the PrairiesBeing in the flat prairies in the middle of Canada, and having a large amount of snow in winter. Flooding is a more than likely occurrence. Living on a farm with cows makes this a challenging time to be a farmer, but with great opportunities to take great photo's. I carry my Nikon FM SLR around all the time while out doing chores and just walking the land.
Jean MusicThe first time I came across Jean Music, I thought it was about a person named Jean who, naturally, makes music. I was wrong. It's about that article of clothing more popular than music itself.
Keeping It in the FamilyNorfolk may be famous for 'keeping it in the family' and this case is no different. Analogue photography has been a passion for three generations. For me, living in a digital world gave me no time to learn how to use analogue cameras, or so i thought. One box of hidden slides, an Olympus OM10 and a curious mind later and I have a new love for all things analogue. This is about the man who started it all and how he kept analogue alive in a digital family.

James McDevitt leaves Jellyfish in Centerport
James McDevitt, profiled as a Newsday All-Star Chef back in 2009, has left Jellyfish. The Centerport restaurant opened in October 2012.
McDevitt, whose Long Island credentials include the former Two Steak & Sushi Den, as well as K. Pacho in New Hyde Park and Four Food Studio in Melville, said he will be corporate executive chef for ESquared Hospitality, whose BLT Steak on 57th Street in
Manhattan is the flagship of a restaurant group that includes 22 restaurants in the U.S. and in Hong Kong.
McDevitt's wife, Stacey, who has been pastry chef at Jellyfish since its opening last year, will remain there through Valentine's Day.
McDevitt's replacement at Jellyfish has not been named yet.

- nonlinear optics (1) (remove)
- Optically induced orientational transitions in nematic liquid crystals (2004)
- I have presented in this thesis a theoretical study of some dynamical phenomena and orientational transitions induced by intense light in homeotropically oriented nematic layers. A large number of experiments has been performed in such systems and various interesting dynamical regimes have been identified. However, systematical theories capable of describing the observed phenomena have been derived for some cases only. In other cases oversimplified models exist with limited applicability. In Chapter 2 I considered the case of a circularly polarized plane light wave incident perpendicularly on the layer. I have constructed a theory that is capable of describing the observed regimes of director motion and the transitions between them in detail. The first instability is the Freedericksz transition from the homeotropic state to a small-amplitude reoriented state with uniform director precession around the layer normal. With increasing light intensity, this state destabilizes via a supercritical Hopf bifurcation and a new frequency in the time Fourier spectra of the dynamical variables appears. This regime is quasiperiodic and corresponds to a precession and nutation of the director. As the intensity increases further, this state disappears at a certain critical value where the period of nutation becomes infinite. There a strongly hysteretic transition to a state with large reorientation occurs via a homoclinic bifurcation. The homoclinic orbit involved is of the simplest type where a limit cycle collides with a saddle point having one unstable direction. The new state corresponds to a uniform precession of the director, however, with very large period and with large reorientation. I have also investigated the influence of an additional static electric field on the dynamical scenario described above. In Chapter 3 the treatment is generalized to the case of elliptically polarized light. The complete bifurcation diagram with the light intensity and the ellipticity as control parameters has been calculated in the region where rotating states exist. I have shown that for a fairly narrow region of ellipticities close to circular polarization the first periodic rotating state loses its stability in a supercritical Hopf bifurcation. I have found that with increasing light intensity at different ellipticities different sequences of transitions all finally lead to a state with large director distortion as the intensity is increased. The nature of this largely distorted state, as well as intermediate regimes vary with ellipticity. Some of the regimes that appear at lower intensities were studied previously, both experimentally and theoretically, but a complete picture up to the largely distorted regime was missing. In the theoretical treatments developed in the Chapters above, as in all other treatments, the velocity field induced by the director motion (backflow) has been neglected. In Chapter 4 I have investigated the influence of backflow on the dynamical scenario described in Chapter 2 and have shown that the backflow leads to substantial quantitative changes. It turns out that the regime of nonuniform precession shifts to higher light intensities and exists in a larger interval. I have also found unanticipated spatial oscillations of the backflow across the layer for the state with large director distortion. This is a signature of the interference pattern of the light within the layer. Actually, in the theory presented, for the first time, a light-induced dynamical phenomenon has been derived from the full nematodynamic equations. Thus, for the first time, full quantitative comparison with experiments using a transversally extended laser light could be done. Also, in all previous theoretical treatments involving plane wave incident light, it was assumed that the director distortion does not depend on the coordinates in the plane of the layer, i.e. one dealt with a one dimensional situation. In Chapter 5 I have studied the instabilities induced by a linearly polarized ordinary light wave incident at a small oblique angle allowing for spatial variations of the director in the plane of the layer and including the case of a dye-doped nematic. It was previously known that for sufficiently small angles of incidence the homeotropic state looses stability in a stationary, homogeneous pitchfork bifurcation. I have shown that the resulting stationary distorted state looses stability via a secondary Hopf bifurcation to spatially inhomogeneous state (nonzero critical wavenumber) that leads to the formation of travelling waves in the plane of the layer. The wavelength of these waves depend on the angle of incidence and the ratios of the elastic constants. It is typically several times larger than the thickness of the layer.

In 1587, a ship with 117 English men, women and children arrived in what is now the Outer Banks of North Carolina to start the first British colony in the New World. But they would enter history as one of the most tantalizing mysteries of early America.
Three years after leaving the settlement, Governor John White returned from what was supposed to be a six month supply trip to find the colony gone. Nothing remained but five chests of books and papers buried in the sand and a post with the word "Croatoan" carved on it. White knew Croatoan as an Indian village, but problems with his ship forced him to return to England without seeing if the Roanoke colonists had ventured there.
LOST COLONY OF ROANOKE explores the possible fate of the vanished settlement. Were they killed by disease, storms, or possibly even Spanish adventurers? Did they abandon the coast and settle in the mountains? Persistent rumors link a reclusive group known as the Melungeons to the lost colony. Did they mingle with the Native Americans?
From far-fetched theories to an underwater archaeological expedition going on today, this is a fascinating look at one of the most enduring mysteries in American history.
