White Attitudes Toward Black Civil Equality in the Nineteenth Century: Iowa's Equal Rights Referenda of 1857, 1868, and 1880 Dykstra, Robert R. Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research ICPSR 2005-12-19 4284 doi://10.3886/ICPSR04284.v1 The primary objective of this data collection was to provide a quantitative underpinning for the analysis of Northern racial attitudes in the United States during the Civil War era. The data contain the results of the three popular referenda on Black civil equality held in 1857, 1868, and 1880 in the state of Iowa: the first just prior to the onset of the Civil War, the second following the Civil War, and the third coming at the close of the Reconstruction period. In order to provide a more comprehensive political context for these well-spaced referenda, the data files contain all relevant annual elections occurring in Iowa between August 1848 and June 1882, capturing the period of time beginning with the first elections involving antislavery candidates through the end of Reconstruction. In addition, the data contain the results of various other referenda, including banking and liquor prohibition referenda voted upon during the time period. Parts 1 and 2 contain county-level data for all 99 Iowa counties. Part 1, County File: Elections and Referenda, contains the outcomes for the various elections and referenda that were put to the vote in Iowa during the mid- to late-1800s. Part 2, County File: Miscellaneous, contains various characteristics describing the voting Iowan population including religion and occupation data. Parts 3 and 4 contain township-level data. The data contain results from 186 of 292 Iowa townships that had surviving 1857 referenda returns. Of the 186, 127 townships had records for all three of the referenda regarding the rights of Blacks (1857, 1868, and 1880). As a result, Part 3, Township File: Referenda, contains the outcomes, by township, for the three civil rights referenda voted on in the state of Iowa. Part 4, Township File: Voters, contains hand counted voter birthplace data keyed to each of the three referenda.

The "186 subfile" represents 31 percent of all Iowa voters in 1857, while the "127 subfile" accounts for 21 percent in 1856, 13 percent in 1870, and 10 percent in 1880. ICPSR AVAILABLE.

Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Rearch ICPSR Ann Arbor MI http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/ email@example.com StudyUnit04284 (1) Parts 3 and 4 contain township-level data. There were a total of 292 counties in Iowa, however data concerning the 1857 referenda on Black suffrage was only available for 186 counties. These counties are sometimes referred to within the study as the "186 subfile." Furthermore, of these 186 counties found in Parts 3 and 4, 127 of them contained data for all three of the Black suffrage referenda that were voted upon in 1857, 1868, and 1880. These counties are referred to as the "127 subfile." Furthermore, of these 186 counties found in Parts 3 and 4, 127 of them contained data for all three of the Black suffrage referenda that were voted upon in 1857, 1868, and 1880. These counties are referred to as the "127 subfile." (2) Per the author, since the estimated "Nonvoters" variables are arithmetic calculations, they occasionally are represented as minus numbers. This simply means that the number of actual voters exceeded the number of estimated eligible voters. These negative numbers are usually small and do not pose a systematic error in the data. (3) The author also points out that it will be seen that some entries take the form of large even numbers (e.g., 200, 300, 700). These are obviously estimates made by county-seat election officials for losing candidates in lopsided elections. At the time, there were no partisan poll-watchers demanding an exact count. Such entries are not serious errors, since they are not systematic. In any event, they are, given present knowledge, the only extant data, and can only be utilized or excluded as the user sees fit. (4) The author notes that the data does not include the sometimes useful "Ineligibles" variable, employed in comparisons of any two sets of election data, that designates new voters coming into the electorate since the first of the compared elections. It is calculated by subtracting the first election's Estimated Eligible Voters (EEV) from that of the second. (5) For the purposes of this study, voters are defined as adult, male citizens of the United States. (6) Voter birthplace data were used by the author as an indicator of individual ethnocultural orientation.

Henry Knox. Autograph
letter draft: to George Washington, 1778 October 19. 7 p. + doc.
different hand: Oct 19
different hand: K. opinion
agt detaching a part of the main army towards Boston ; and in favor of
keeping the army in a collected state during the winter ]
I have
considered the information which your Excelleny on the 16th instant
was pleasd to give to the board of Genl Officers. and of the propositions
then given, for their [struck: of]
considera[tion] and opinions.
The first of which whether] [inserted:[struck: An answer to but answer in writing to the best hiring or
proposition <?>]] vizt. whether it will be prudent and adviseable to make
a Detachment of the main Army towards Boston and if so of what force?
was so fully discusd at the time it was proposd and the conclusion
drawn that it would be unnecesary to say any thing further on the subject.
second was Whether the Army shall be held in a collected state during the
Winter and where?
are several weighty reasons why the Army should be held in as collected a state
as possible. vzt The safety of it its readiness to act offensively upon any
opportunity being given by the Enemy. Its
discipline. Its reputation, for if
the Army is dispersed into [struck:
many] [inserted: several] cantonments
or not The Calls of [strike-out] many
officers who have <?> [2] Families will be so great as to oblige them to
obtain [struck: either] furlowe or
leave the service The chance will be equal that the officer who go home for
the winter are as good as any in the service.
If the army is divided in to several cantonments the loss of these
officers for the time will be much greater than if the Army is collected.
Duty in the Cantonments will be much more more long than in the main
Army. The men will maraud. and most
probably the body of troops will be much more unfit at the opening of the
Campaign to take the field than when they went into Quarters
If the
Army is collected, discipline [inserted:
of all kinds] will be more [struck:
promptly] readily kept up, as all officers of all Classes will be immediately
under the direction of the Commander in Chief.
only [struck: thing] [inserted:
argument] to be opposd to the Armys being collected will be the difficulty
of supplying it with Provisions and Forage But [struck:
I believe it] if the Army take a proper position These difficulties will in a
degree <loss>
would with defference propose that the Army should take a position either at Ri[inserted:
d]gefield [3] or [struck: the] the
Communication from [struck: th] [inserted: that place] to <?> Pond [struck: My reasons for it are these] The Majority to be Fish-Kill or
some place on the road from it to Ridgefield, [inserted: [struck:
<?>]] [struck: and] at Danbury,
and some place immediately in the rear of the Army all the supplies coming
on from the Eastward to be deposited at Danbury all down the North River at
Fish Kill all from Pensylvania and the Southward to be crsd over at Kings
ferry and deposited at or in the rear of the Camp To protect the
Communication thro the Jersies a Division to be posted at or near the
Clove one regiment of which to be at <?> [inserted:
[struck: part of a]] a brigade to be
posted at the Continental Village or Peeksill [struck: and two Regiments of which to be posted at] [inserted:
and] Kings Ferry with some Artillery a Redoubt to be thrown up with Battery
on each side [inserted: of the River]
to guard against a suprize The Communication thus guarded from the Southward
would afford ample security to all supplies being forwarded. [struck: The
goodness of] the road [struck: thro
the Jersies] below the the Mountains thro the Jersies being so much better than
above and [4] Country abound with much more Forage will be sufficient
inducements to perfer the road thro morris Town than that the upper road this
sufizes The road from Kings ferry to Ridgefield is very tolerable I
should perfer the above position to any other that I have heard proposd and I
think the only objection than can be made to it, is the Subsistence which upon a
nearer examination and experience could be found to be very practicab<l>e
The posts in the highlands will be unatachated in Winter, Indeed to render
that matter absolutely certain, [struck:
a couple] two additiona<l> regiments or a brigade might be posted at the
Continental Village or Peeks Kill [struck:
disposition would afford an apparent and real security to Connecticut, and from
the exertions of that state they are entitled to every protection in our power.
it would secure a much greater proportion of this state than if we took post
at Fish Kill or in the mountains near it.
is another consideration [struck: what
in wh] in which there is considerable weight The officers of the Army are
allowed but one ration. every body
knows most of them do not constantly subsist on it [5] It is expected that they
get Refreshment from the adjacent Country.
let them be cut off from this advantage and obligd to subsist on their
one ration [struck: and they will soon
become discontented] [inserted:
immersd amid [struck: might
<?>] mountains] of snow & Ice [struck:
as] such as the highlands. They [struck:
The Consequence of which will be ] will be soon discontented.
Resignations will prevail. &
each resignation of a good officer at this time will be an irreparable loss
very few will [struck: at this period]
[inserted: now] enter the army.
When they are certain it is the high road to poverty & when they can
make immense fortunes [struck: out of]
[inserted: in] Trade.
Country [struck: contiguous]
contiguous to the highlands is barren and produces but little, that about Fish
Kill is exhausted The Country near Ridgefield is plentiful and unexhausted.
Whether [struck: it] [inserted: the
Army] shall be distributed [struck:
& where ?] into Cantonments
& in what particular manner?
opinion is against the Army being distributed, [struck: for the] other than as above and for the reasons given.
[6] 4th
What precautions shall be adopted in either case [inserted:
to shelter the troops [struck: and
provide]] to provide subsistence [struck:
and <?>] both of forage & provision?
can best be answered by the Commossaries of Provision & of Forage.
But I make now doubt were your Excellency to inform the Governor of this
state of the information which has been given to you, by of the large quantities
of grain secreted by the neutral and disafected part of the people of this
state That he with the
Legislature would find some effective method with the assistance of the Army to
draw forth those hidden [struck:
<?>] [inserted: Stores ]
The Governor]
Respect to forgage The horses of the Artillery and baggage Waggons and
the [struck: a] great part of the
Cavalry to be sent to in this state Connecticut, and the Jersies
5th] We can shelter the troops in the same manner as last Year, with some
additional advantages [struck: of
size] [inserted: of] boards for the doors & which I should supposed
might be procurd. I am pretty
confident that a position which would afford sufficient mobility [7] might be
found near Ridgefield

text: I am wayyyy behind in my podcasts. Always am because I hoard them like a fat kid does choclate at camp. Sorry if that offends anyone...sort of. I was listening to the Bob Memorial show and walking. You see the podcast team is my walking partner. Them and my jack russel Lilly. I began listening to the show years ago, and when I decided to make a change in my health, life, and body ( don't do backflips, it is a daily fight) the podcast came with me. Now I can't jog without them. While listening to the show today, Pete said people make comments about stopping the memorial show. I audibly shouted "NO!" in the park. A few people looked my way. But then they already think I am nuts because I often laugh, cry, guffaw( ya I used guffaw), and blurt out responses to my invisible workout buddies( the podcast team). Please don't stop the memorial shows! When I got to know you all listening, especially Bob would become meaningful in my life. He was so....Bob. So ok with who he was and how he came across. I didn't realize he would impact me the way he has with the podcast help. Getting to know Bob on the podcast somehow helped me get to know my own Mother in a strange way. I loved how similar he was to her in his little eccentric ways. How he loved Disney "his" way. Thinking of him in his little ECV reminded me so much of her. She had more Disney crap decoupaged, taped and strapped to that thing than you can imagine. It drove me nuts until listening about Bob. It clearly goes much deeper, but somehow seeing her in that different manner helped me so much understanding her and loving her for who she was. We lost my Mom in Oct 2009. And now listening to those memorial shows gives me comfort selfishly. It's like a mini memorial to my Mom. I get to rethink of the funny things she did that drove me CRAZY, but now I miss them, and love them so much. So thank you, and PLEASE don't stop doing them. PS special hug to Dianne for sharing him with us. She really touched me today on this show.

Organic foods can give a person new insights into the order of the universe, according to the Wall Street Journal (January 21, 1971).
(IronMan Magazine Nov 1973 Vol. 33 No. 1)
Very often "facts" which are true today become fallacies tomorrow. Once an idea is established, people are reluctant to change in spite of concrete evidence to the contrary. Columbus had a bad time convincing his peers that the world wasn't flat. It has been my habit throughout the years to risk contradiction for the sake of the science and art of bodybuilding. This brings me to the point of this article - the age old villain, CARBOHYDRATES.
Of the three food components, carbohydrates have received the most abuse. The two remaining, fats and proteins, have been the panaceas of bodybuilders. Well, I've got news for those of you who think this way. Carbohydrates may very well be the bodybuilder's best friend, and proteins their enemy! Let me explain in detail for you.
It is currently "fashionable" to limit carbohydrates to a minimum and in some cases allow them into the diet just one day a week, while the remainder of the week taking just proteins and some fats. Over long periods of time this can be dangerous, leading to serious side effects as well as decreasing life span. Dr. Ralph A. Nelson, associate professor of nutrition at the Mayo Medical School states: "Animals fed high protein diets have increased activity of enzymes associated with protein and amino acid metabolism and have increased urea production."
"Kidney hypertrophy occurs in animals on long-term protein diets; more strikingly, if one kidney is removed, the degree of hypertrophy of the remaining kidney is directly related to the amount of protein digested. High protein diets increase albumin and casts in animal urine. Rabbits on high protein diets develop nephritis, as do rats if the diet is continued long enough. Trout fed a low protein diet live twice as long as trout given a high protein diet; the microscopic water animal, the ratifer, has a similar inverse relationship of protein to longevity."
The high protein intake increases enzymatic activity, urea and albumin production thereby in effect causing our metabolic engine to "idle" at a faster rate. the majority of bodybuilders I come into contact with seem to feel that if they ingest only proteins they won't put on body fat. This is untrue! When the body receives more protein than is necessary for its normal maintenance, it has no way of excreting it, so it stores it in the body as adipose tissue or in plain language, F-A-T!
I advocate a relatively "low" protein intake, about 45 grams per day. Too much protein creates a negative nitrogen balance which in turn leads to gout, sluggishness, and liver and kidney problems. The body can't digest more than 20 grams per meal, anything beyond that leads to problems. At least one meal per day should be carbohydrates in the form of vegetables or grains, thereby giving the body a protein break.
Furthermore, it has been demonstrated repeatedly that protein combustion is not higher during heavy exercise than under resting conditions, while on the other hand the body uses carbohydrate stores first before it turns to other sources. Even after depleting the carbohydrate deposits, continued exercise does not hike protein needs significantly.
According to my research, athletes performing strenuous endurance tasks such as bodybuilding, and burning up 9,000 calories per day, show no noticeable increase in protein needs.
If this all isn't enough to turn your heads, Dr. Per-Olaf Astrand, a famous exercise physiologist in Sweden, performed a study which concluded that endurance tends to decrease as protein intake is elevated! He discovered that a high protein diet lowered endurance as well as reduced buildups in muscle carbohydrate, more than a high carbohydrate diet.
During my investigation I cam upon a classical experiment by Christensen and Hansen, who observed the participation of fats and carbohydrates in energy metabolism during physical work of different intensities. I won't bore you with cold statistical facts, but in conclusion they found that in heavy work such as powerlifting or bodybuilding the major participant towards endurance was, once again, carbohydrates. Also, the subjects were able to perform three times longer on a carbohydrate diet that a protein or fat diet.
I am strongly convinced that bodybuilders get too little carbohydrate. Recently a team of Russian researchers found that a high carbohydrate diet is superior for athletes in training, while protein should be increased only during periods of inactivity.
I can almost hear some of you shouting disapproval of these ideas. Probably the most asked question now is, "If bodybuilding essentially is the tearing down and building up again of muscle tissue, then isn't increased protein necessary for that process?" The answer is NO! A high protein intake even after a sustained injury, doesn't prevent a transient rise in nitrogen losses.
Dr. Doris Calloway and a team of researchers found that animals fed three times as much protein as normal recovered no better than those on normal amounts of protein.
Power lifters and power event-type athletes are under the delusion that excess protein supplementation will be useful in bulking up. But according to David L. Costill, Ph.D., Director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University, this is untrue. Essential amino acids that are utilized are provided by the normal diet and any excess converts into, once again, F-A-T!
Now let's get one thing straight before we go any further. There is a quality difference between carbohydrates. Don't go out and load yourself up with candy and that type of "junk" carbohydrates. Carbohydrate loading with sugar is a mistake. Carbohydrates replace glycogen which the body stores and uses for energy. Sugar in any form leaches the stored glycogen from the liver and produces nervousness, irritability, fears, doubts, and various psychic changes in the personality. The major sources of carbohydrates should be from, as I stated earlier, grains and vegetables.
I hope that this discussion has convinced some of you that my point is well taken. So don't be afraid of carbohydrates - they are the bodybuilder's best friend.
(IronMan Magazine Sept 1978 Vol. 37 No. 6)
It has been predicted that cancer will be controlled through diet and diet alone. It has been found protein turns to glucose and sugar, and when the sytem is overloaded, it gives cancer a chance to develop!
In the chemistry of the body, each and every mouthful of food can have a telling effect! In many parts of the world cancer is unknown and this could be the reason! Our miracle men of science are well on the track!

The avocado has long been called the love apple. In olden times, the avocado, besides known for its aphrodisiac qualities, was also thought to be a very important beauty food.
Avocados have 11 vitamins and 14 minerals. Also, they are 50% fat and low in carbohydrates. This makes them a must on a diet in which keeping lean and energetic is the main objective.
This potency building food, combined with a steak or chopped meat, because of its combination of protein and phosphorous has a way of refreshing and producing sudden energy.
Speaking of that sudden energizer, phosphorous, - which is present in meats - it is also present in shellfish and fish, as well.

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — The state gambling commission is hearing from advocates and opponents of extending an Indian tribe's exclusive right to develop a casino in southeastern Massachusetts.The commission met Thursday at Bristol Community College in Fall River as it considers opening the region to commercial bidders.
The competition to build a resort casino in western Massachusetts became more robust Friday. Hard Rock International unveiled plans for an entertainment complex in West Springfield on the grounds where the Big E agricultural fair is held. WAMC"s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill reports.
The mayor of Springfield Massachusetts has outlined a process he intends to follow to evaluate competing proposals from casino operators anxious to build high end gaming, entertainment and hotel complexes in the city. It's a process that will lead to a binding voter referendum this Spring. WAMC's Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill reports.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission is being urged by some to speed up its work to shorten the expected time table for issuing up to three licenses to build resort casinos. An casino-sitting advisory committee has been created in Springfield, as officials there pursue a casino development. WAMC"s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill reports.

Air study over, stench back big time
I live in Marysville and am one of the many residents affected by Cedar Grove's stench. During these hot summer days, the smell is thick and so heavy I can almost taste it. Many people in my neighborhood, including myself, have had to purchase window air conditioners or heat pumps so that we don't have to open our windows. I'm sure the residents of North Everett feel the same way most mornings; the stench was unbearable when I got out of my car on July 29. It almost made me sick just walking from my car into my place of employment in north Everett.
So, Cedar Grove management, I'd really like an answer to just one question for me and everyone else affected by your stench: If you could so effectively control this obnoxious odor last year, why is it that you can't or won't control it this year?

NFL May Move Up L.A.

Published April 23, 2012
HELLO OPERATOR: In Oakland, Angela Woodall noted the Coliseum Joint Power Authority voted Friday "after hearing nearly an hour of contentious, politically charged public comment to begin negotiations with AEG for a five-year contract with a five-year extension." The eight-member authority split 4-3 with one abstention to "move forward with negotiations at the recommendation of a subcommittee." That means SMG's 13 years in Oakland "will come to an end" July 1. Among other things, AEG offered a $3.5M "capital investment" for the Coliseum complex and a $1M signing bonus for "revenue-enhancing projects." AEG also "promised to bring in 25 events, including bull riding and boxing, able to generate" $2.5M by the end of the five-year contract. AEG "promised to reduce operating expenses" by $500,000 a year (OAKLAND TRIBUNE, 4/22).
BANKING ERROR: In Atlanta, Christopher Seward noted Braves fans who "used credit cards to purchase food at Turner Field at the home opener April 13 may want to double-check their statements." Aramark, which "provides food services at the Atlanta stadium, disclosed that a software problem may have caused some credit card users to be overcharged for purchases." Aramark Senior PR Manager David Freireich said that the "problem appeared to be isolated to software that processes card purchases." He did not say "how the overcharges came to light or how many cardholders were affected." He added that Aramark was "in the process of correcting the charges" (AJC.com, 4/21).
GROWING ITS SHOWBIZ: In England, Deborah Linton noted EPL club Manchester City is "bidding to join the showbiz premier league -- by expanding the number of special events held at the Etihad Stadium." The team has "applied for a permanent licence that would allow" the club to "hold events including boxing and wrestling, live music concerts, film and theatre." If granted, the "new permanent licence will give City the chance to hold a dozen events a year for up to" 63,000 people. Club officials "banned concerts" at the stadium in '08 after a Bon Jovi concert "damaged the turf and forced City to play a UEFA Cup home tie at Barnsley." Coldplay and Bruce Springsteen are "both due to play gigs" at the stadium this summer (MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS, 4/21).

+ - Google's privacy policy bashed by research organiz->
The human rights research organization, Privacy International (PI), released a report, following a six-month investigation, into the privacy practices of 22 popular Internet-based companies. Google ranked the lowest with an initial assessment of "hostile to privacy," followed by AOL, Apple, Facebook, Windows Live Spaces, and Yahoo, among others.
The Internet-based companies were evaluated on details such as the type of personal information that the sites collected; whether or not the collected data was actually useful to the company; for how long the data was kept; and whether or not the company employed a strong, transparent privacy policy.
"We are aware that the decision to place Google at the bottom of the ranking is likely to be controversial, but throughout our research we have found numerous deficiencies and hostilities in Google's approach to privacy that go well beyond those of other organizations," said Privacy International, in its report.
Privacy International (PI) recently tried to contacted Google, but received no response.
"It's a shame that Privacy International decided to publish its report before we had an opportunity to discuss our privacy practices with them," said Nicole Wong, Google's deputy general counsel. "We are disappointed with Privacy International's report, which is based on numerous inaccuracies and misunderstandings about our services."
Why Google? PI claims Google to retain large quantities of information about all users for an unstated or indefinite length of time with no disclosure or opportunity to delete personal data.
In addition, PI claims it to be a "prevailing view" that a 24 month record of all search strings linked to an individuals IP address is unacceptable, and possibly unlawful.
The list continues, but it is a monotonous tone of drivel that seeps from the mouth of a child; I'll spare you, but there are a few things that trouble me with PI's report.
First, it makes mention of Orkut, Google's online community:
"We ranked Orkut as a separate entity even though it is owned by Google."
But later links the two together while citing the reasons why Google was ranked so poorly, claiming:
"Google often maintains these records (user data) even after a user has deleted his profile or removed information from Orkut."
PI makes no mention as to what Google does with the Orkut data. Why? Because they don't know; but, does not hesitate to lower Google's privacy score as a result of, as stated in the report.
"Google has access to additional personal information, including hobbies, employment, address, and phone number, contained within user profiles in Orkut."
But assessing a company, based on facts unknown, is a violation of its own rules.
"It was not always possible to precisely assess a company's approach in each category. As a result, we erred on the side of caution and gave the company the benefit of the doubt and assessed it only for what we could actually identify."
Ironically, Microsoft was given 'orange' status (two levels better than Google) despite PI's claims that there is "not so much" of a difference between Microsoft and Google's data practices and privacy policies.
Rather, Microsoft achieved a better color as a result of "corporate ethos and leadership." Continuing, PI states Microsoft "appears to have adopted a less antagonistic attitude to privacy."
So Microsoft appearing to have a not so hostile approach gains them 2 levels above Google? Thanks for the privacy report, PI, but it's starting to seem as if there are larger things on your agenda than being concerned about my privacy.
Among those who achieved a 'blue' status of 'generally privacy aware' are BBC, Wikipedia, LiveJournal, and Ebay; however, it should be noted that not one Internet-based company was able to achieve a green light status from PI."

Amigo's R622AG WiFi router mirrors Xbox 360 design->
Filed under: Wireless, Networkingrouter meant no harm when it came out of the laboratory looking exactly like Microsoft's latest console, but we'll be surprised if no legal teams are contacted over this one. The four-port router supports 802.11a/b/g, includes a pair of USB 2.0 connectors for sharing external data or printers over the network (shown after the jump), and should look like a long lost twin situated beside your Xbox 360. No word yet on price nor availability, but this thing definitely outdoes the other 360 copycat we saw just days ago in terms of closest resemblance.

an excerpt from the article:
Today companies emitting solid, liquid, or gas waste either send it to waste treatment sites for incineration, to landfill sites for burial, to Third World countries for dumping, or shut it away inside installations where hopefully it won't leak into the atmosphere. At best, these methods might make the chemical waste slightly less toxic, but basically they just transfer the problem from one place to another, creating environmental hazards that will be with us for years to come.

Manufacturer's WA500-7 is powered by Tier 4 interim engine technology.
Komatsu America Corp. has introduced its WA500-7 wheel loader. The WA500-7 is powered by a Komatsu SAA6D140E-6 engine with a net horsepower of 353 and is EPA Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage 3B emission certified. Komatsu says it has leveraged its leadership in technology and innovation – building on its proven Tier 3 engine platform – to design a more environmentally friendly engine that increases power while decreasing fuel consumption.
The WA500-7 comes standard with the Komatsu CARE program, which provides complimentary factory scheduled maintenance for 2,000 hours or the first three years (whichever occurs first). Komatsu CARE also includes two complimentary Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter (KDPF) exchanges within the first 5 years.
The WA500-7 has an operating weight of 76,611 pounds when equipped with a 7.3 yd3 general purpose bucket and a maximum speed of 22.1 mph. Enhanced operating performance, lower fuel consumption, improved operator comfort and easier serviceability are features of the WA500-7 that provide increased productivity and lower operating costs.
The WA500-7 is equipped with the latest KOMTRAX technology, which sends machine operating information to a secure website using wireless technology. Data such as daily fuel consumption, machine utilization, operating hours, location, cautions and maintenance alerts are relayed to the web application for analysis.
The KOMTRAX fleet monitoring system increases machine availability, reduces the risk of machine theft, allows for remote diagnosis by the distributor, and provides a wealth of other information to drive business efficiency and productivity.
New features of the WA500-7 include:

We're cutting away from the Mexican soap opera to pay some attention to the new recruits at the Multiplex 10, plus Calvin, who hasn't been seen in a while, but was once the new guy himself — and a bit of a cranky one. But as long-time readers know, he lightened up, eventually.
(And, yeah, the title of this two-part strip is probably a bit of a spoiler — but come on, these strips are basically horror movie parodies; you know what's going to happen, you just don't know how it's going to happen).
The last few strips caused a bit of controversy in the comments field, and I'm half afraid that this strip will do the same, since I brought up one of the great political arguments of our time: "soda" vs. "pop." I say "soda," personally, but I'm also not a Chicago native; apparently people from here say "pop." What do YOU say?
See you Monday, and have a safe Halloween. I know I will: I'm staying home to watch The Walking Dead.

Leonard Nimoy (1931–2015)
Sunday, March 1, 2015
I was never a huge Star Trek fan, exactly. I love some of the early episodes, and I think Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is one of the greatest
science fiction movies of all time. I enjoyed Star Trek III and IV, too, for what they were. I read a bunch of the DC Comics Star Trek stuff at that time, because my brother bought them. And I watched a bit of the Next Generation and then fell off the wagon. Kirk and Spock were my Star Trek, and the Star Trek 2–4 "era" was its peak for me, warts and all, because that's the "era" that really hooked me. And really, for me, it was all about Wrath of Khan.
In addition to playing Mr. Spock, of course, Leonard Nimoy did a lot of other things. He was on Mission: Impossible. He directed a few movies (Three Men and a Baby!). He was a photographer. He was the voice of Civilization IV. But one thing I really loved of his was Standby: Lights, Camera, Action, on Nickelodeon from 1982–1987, which provided a behind the scenes look at movies like Star Trek III, Return of the Jedi, 2010, and more. Nimoy hosted and occasionally interviewed guests like George Lucas. As a budding film nerd in the pre-Internet Dark Ages, behind the scenes specials like Standby: Lights, Camera, Action were hard to come by. I ate that show up.
Anyway, as you're undoubtedly aware by now, Leonard Nimoy passed away on the 27th. As cartoonists do when they're sad about these kinds of things, I drew a picture:

Unlike most holidays, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a day of service -- a day "on" rather than a day "off." It is a chance to give something back to our community as a living testament to Dr. King's belief that each person can truly change the world.
On Monday, more than 100 lawyers and other legal professionals will return to the Mountain View Boys and Girls Club for a free legal clinic. As we did for the first time on Martin Luther King Day in 2010, we will advise residents on landlord-tenant, family law and public benefits problems.
The Alaska Bar Association and the Alaska Court System are organizing the clinic with the support of the Anchorage Assembly and the Martin Luther King Foundation of Alaska.
Dr. King's legacy as a civil rights leader began in the early evening of Dec. 1, 1955, when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Ala. Her arrest triggered a boycott of the bus system. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., then a 26-year old pastor, led the boycott. It lasted 381 days and was the beginning of a movement that would change the face of America. Two years later, Dr. King helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, serving as its president until his death. Under Dr. King's leadership, the SCLC organized or supported protests against segregation in places like Selma and Birmingham, Ala., that are now famous for the role they played in awakening the conscience of a nation. Dr. King believed that organized, nonviolent protests would trigger compelling press and television coverage of the black community's struggle for equal rights under the law.
Like Mahatma Gandhi, whose example freed a nation, Dr. King believed in fundamental human decency. He knew that when ordinary, decent people were confronted with the indignities and violence of segregation, they would support changes in state and federal law to abolish these evils.
Dr. King cemented the civil rights movement in our minds one sweltering August day in 1963 on the gleaming steps of the Lincoln Memorial before a quarter of a million fellow citizens of all races. He spoke of his dream "that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed ... 'that all men are created equal' ... that (our) children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." His dream became our dream.
Many of the rights that Dr. King addressed that August day were enacted into federal law as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In 1964, Dr. King received the Nobel Peace Prize for his campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience. At 35 he was the youngest person ever to receive the award. Four years later, he was dead from an assassin's bullet.
In 1983, Congress overwhelmingly approved a national holiday to be held the third Monday of each January commemorating Dr. King's birth. Republican President Ronald Reagan signed the bill into law. Democratic President Bill Clinton approved an amendment to the law in 1993 establishing the holiday as a national day of service.
Making this a day of service is a welcome example of a bipartisan commitment of conscience. Anchorage lawyers and other legal professionals will meet in Mountain View on Monday to help promote justice in our community. We hope that others will establish projects that will move us closer to Dr. King's dream of equal justice for all Americans.
Jonathan Katcher is an attorney participating in the 2011 Martin Luther King Day of Service.

The Phils avoid a sweep, as they end their five-game losing streak by hanging on to defeat the Twins, 3-2. The Phils took the lead in the top of the first as, with runners on the corners, and with one man out, Ryan Howard comes through with an RBI single, scoring Ben Revere, who had started the game off with a single, stole second base, then stopped at third on pitcher Kevin Correia's fielding error of Jimmy Rollins' grounder to the mound, giving the Phils a 1-0 lead, while Rollins, who was safe at first on Correia's error, would stop at second base. The Phils tried to add to their lead in the top of the sixth as, with two men on, on back to back singles by Michael Young and Rollins, with M. Young stopping at second base, and with two men out, Young tried to score on Howard's single to right, but he is instead thrown out at home plate by right fielder Ryan Doumit, as catcher Joe Mauer is able to tag him out before he can touch home plate. The Twins took the lead in the bottom of the...

This Information Session will cover all Graduate Programs offered at the University.
Heeseop Yoon studied at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and received her MFA from City University of New York and BFA from Chung-Ang University in Korea. Yoon's subjects—interiors of junk shops and storage facilities—test the ability of the line to make order out chaos. Working from photographs, Yoon draws her subject matter freehand on sheets of transparent polyester film that are later attached to the gallery wall. She retains her exploratory sketches, her mistakes, and the corrections on each drawing. The lines not only situate the forms in the clutter, they also cross over, search out, and assess the entire scene. Illustrated Lecture: February 5, Wilson Hall Auditorium, 4:30 - 5:30 pm, Opening Reception: February 5, from 5:30 - 7 pm
