Community Outreach
Most Humanities Center events are open to the public, and we feature a series of panels throughout the year that explicitly seeks to engage the community beyond Carleton in topics of great public interest. Such events in the past have featured commentary on political campaigns in 2012, Haiti after the 2010 earthquake and on the 2008 U.S. election. More recently, our public humanities events have featured partnerships with the Minnesota Humanities Center's "Veterans' Voices" and "Toward a More Perfect Union" initiatives. "Northfield Reads" events associated with those initiatives have deepened our connections to the Northfield Public Library, Healthy Community Initiative, and Human Rights Commission, as well as area schools.
Public Humanities Events 2013-14 included:
Lectures on Censorship and Free Speech throughout the year, featuring Salman Rushdie, Omid Safi and Debra Shuger.
A performance of "Telling MN" in February, and a "Northfield Reads" event around war literature, associated with the Veterans Voices initiative.
Perspectives in Public Humanities events, 2012-2013:
- The "Truth" about Political Campaign Ads
- Cemetery Stories: A Rebel Missionary in South Africa, special Cherif Keita film and presentation
- Dakota 38, Film Screening and Discussion
- The Life & Legacy of Justice Rosalie Wahl, Film Screening and Discussion
In 2011-12, we launched the "Perspectives in Public Humanities" series, which included symposia on the Arab Spring and on ethical issues related to Access to Healthcare. HC Board member Carol Donelan collaborated with the Northfield Historical Society in an event that recreated the experience of theater-going in Northfield, MN in the early twentieth century.

Items of note from Oct. 9-16.
Blackfoot Police
BAD LIVING CONDITIONS: Oct. 9, 2:12 p.m.: A woman requested someone to check on some small children because she heard there is no food or electricity in the home and a sex offender is living at the residence.
SMOKE BOMB: Oct. 9, 4:12 p.m.: A caller at the courthouse reported finding a red ball with a stem on it and said it may be a smoke bomb.
GAS THEFT: Oct. 9, 4:47 p.m.: A caller at Stinker Station said a vehicle left without paying for $54.91 in gas.
BLACKFOOT — Regardless of the temperature readings, Blackfoot was the hot spot to be Thursday night as hundreds of music fans from throughout the region converged to Club El Centenario for concert performances by popular bands All American Rejects, Boys Like Girls and Parachute.
Fans from as far away as Salt Lake City, began lining up outside of the club as early as 1:30 p.m. to ensure a place close to the stage, for the show that started at 7:30 p.m.
BLACKFOOT — A boil water alert has been issued for Blackfoot residents living east of Fisher Street. This area includes Blackfoot High School, Stoddard Elementary School and State Hospital South.
Fecal coliform, better known as E. coli, bacteria was found in the water supply on Thursday. These bacteria can make you sick and may pose a special health risk for infants, young children and people with severely compromised immune systems.
What should be done?
BLACKFOOT – During the month of October, dog lovers are being asked to contribute $1 to Hounds for Hadley each time they walk their dog.
Founded in 1920 by William Hadley and Dr. E.V.L. Brown, The Hadley School for the Blind offers courses free of charge to its blind and visually impaired students and their families and affordable tuition courses to blindness professionals.
Today, Hadley is the largest educator of people who are blind or visually impaired around the world, serving more than 10,000 students annually in all 50 states and 100 countries.
BLACKFOOT — The Blackfoot Community Center (BCC)-Activity Center at 257 S. Broadway is home to the only indoor playground in town and fundraising efforts are underway to make sure it stays open for children in the area to enjoy for many years to come. The playland, which was installed in August, was made possible through a variety of grants and is a thrill for kids with a bouncy track, rope swings, balance beams, basketball hoops, ping pong tables and climbing equipment, similar to that found at some fast food restaurants.
THOMAS — The well at the Snake River Middle School (SRMS) in Thomas has a nitrate problem. The nitrate level is still within the safe level, below 20 parts, however, nitrates measure above the limit of 10 parts. The nitrates in the old well at SRMS measures 13 parts.
Students, staff and cooks use bottled water for their water needs.
The school uses 25-30 five-gallon water bottles each week, said Ed Jackson, principal of the SRMS.
Marvin Fielding, an engineer with Schiess and Associates from Idaho Falls, presented three recommendations for the nitrate problem at SRMS. These are:
BLACKFOOT — October is recognized as "National Long-Term Care Residents' Rights Month." To celebrate, representatives from the Area Agency on Aging spoke with about 25 residents at the Willows on Tuesday.
The theme of this year's celebration is "My Voice, My Vote, My Right" with the goal of educating the community about residents' rights, including the right to vote and participate in the political process.
BLACKFOOT — What was once a giant patch of weeds outside the Blackfoot Animal Shelter has been transformed into a well manicured green lawn with a manmade brook leading into a scenic pond.
Nearly two months in the works, the landscaping project was a joint effort between Premier Technology and the City of Blackfoot. Christi Kotter, a controller at Premier Technology who helped on the project, said, "Doug Sayer [Premier Technology president] was working on his own property here and saw a need to help the neighbor [Blackfoot Animal Clinic] next door."
BLACKFOOT—All the little ghouls, witches, and goblins are welcome to come and capture their costumes on camera at the Photography Boo-tique as part of the annual Halloween Charity and open house. Harmony Jones has put together the event for the last three years.
"My passion is my work; it builds my soul." said Jones of her business, "I feel so honored when a new client books a session with me, and when I hand them their family wall portrait, or their senior album."

Immigration tug-of-war: GOP is in a time warp
Arizona's anti-reform Republicans are caught in a time warp. Their national brethren have moved on to embrace comprehensive immigration reform. But here in the Grand Canyon State, there's a dreary familiarity to the old arguments.
Republican former state Senate President Russell Pearce is the still-proud father of SB 1070. GOP Rep. John Kavanagh is still a cheerleader for attrition-through-enforcement.
Or as Kavanagh put it recently: "When the jobs went away, a lot of the illegals went away."
In Arizona, a powerful Republican still thinks it's OK to refer to human beings as "illegals."
What century is this?
Kavanagh told a group of journalists at a conference at the University of California-Berkeley last weekend that Republicans need to stick to their principles on immigration.
If they don't, he says, they lose their base. Besides, he says, the GOP has little to gain from legalizing 11 million people because "most" of them have a low level of education and a high dependence on government services. That means they'll prefer big-spending Democrats.
Kavanagh did say that the GOP needs to restrain "some of our people who use harsh rhetoric." He also said he has "always" supported the Dream Act as a "matter of law and justice."
That puts him somewhere back before November 2012 in terms of the GOP's evolution on this issue. Supporting the Dream Act is not exactly a wildly progressive notion these days.
But I give Kavanagh credit for saying that — and for participating in the panel, which was part of the Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism's seminar on the "Changing Face of America: Inside the Latino Vote and Immigration Reform."
He provided a stark contrast to other Republicans who joined him to discuss the politics of immigration reform.
The self-deportation model embodied in Senate Bill 1070 and trumpeted by Mitt Romney "is akin to starving people out of the country," said fellow panel member Robert Gittelson, president of Conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform. It's not OK.
What's more, Gittelson rejected the notion that low-skilled workers cost society.
"Every single worker contributes to the business, and every business contributes to the economy," he said. "Every worker has value."
That's not the sort of thing you expect from the right. But this isn't Russell Pearce's right.
Like those Hebrew National hot dogs, Gittelson answers to a higher authority.
He is a founding member of the Evangelical Immigration Table and vice president for government affairs for the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference.
He says biblical principles support comprehensive immigration reform: "We have a moral imperative to fix this."
He also says the United States is partly responsible for the undocumented population because there has long been a "help wanted" sign at the border.
"As a conservative, I believe in personal responsibility," Gittelson says. "We have some responsibility for a solution."
Also on the panel was California state Sen. Anthony Cannella. He's a Republican, and he took his chance to jab at President Barack Obama with the gusto of any other conservative.
But he says current immigration policies lead to "exploiting people." When he served as mayor of Ceres, Calif., from 2005 to 2010, he saw the problems for law enforcement when undocumented immigrants are afraid to report domestic violence or other crimes.
Cannella is supporting an effort in the California Legislature to allow undocumented immigrants to get driver's licenses. He supports comprehensive immigration reform in Congress that includes a path to citizenship.
Meanwhile, Kavanagh said he opposes the Senate "Gang of Eight" immigration plan because "this bill pretty much gives amnesty."
Kavanagh was the voice of yesterday's GOP, riding hell-bent for leather on the same old mastodon.
The others were new-age Republicans, desperately seeking relevance among the largest minority group in a nation that is expected to be majority minority by 2050.
Nationally, the GOP climbed aboard the "We Love Latinos" train right after the election. Both Arizona's Republican senators flip-flopped themselves back to the comprehensive side of the issue.
It's a political reality that even Republicans in Arizona's staunchest conservative districts will eventually have to face.
But for now, Arizona's Republican Gov. Jan Brewer and leaders in the Legislature — plus one recalled Senate president — remain stuck somewhere in 2010 as their party leaves for the fiesta.

College mourns pregnant Pa. coach killed in crash
Monday - 3/18/2013, 2:44am EDT
Associated Press
GREENSBURG, Pa. (AP) -- Somber athletes, students and school staff hugged and cried in a century-old chapel on the campus of a small Catholic university outside Pittsburgh on Sunday night, mourning the loss of a coach, mother and friend who died a day earlier along with her unborn child when the team's bus crashed on the way to a game.
Members of the Seton Hill University community tearfully gathered at Saint Joseph Chapel, known on the hilltop campus as "the heart" of the school, to memorialize victims of the fatal crash -- especially head lacrosse coach Kristina Quigley, who was remembered as warm, outgoing and a natural leader.
The ornate chapel with 20-foot high stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes, marble columns, and arched ceilings, echoed with biblical readings and songs, followed by prayers and sermons.
Those in attendance were reminded of their own mortality by the Rev. Jeremiah O'Shea, who asked: "Aren't we all so helpless in the face of death?"
Players and coaches from Seton Hill were among 23 people aboard when the bus crashed into a tree Saturday morning on the Pennsylvania Turnpike outside Harrisburg. The team was headed to an afternoon game at Millersville University, about 50 miles from the crash site in central Pennsylvania. Police are investigating the cause.
Quigley, 30, of Greensburg, died of her injuries at a hospital, Cumberland County authorities said. Quigley was about six months pregnant, and her unborn son didn't survive. The bus driver, Anthony Guaetta, 61, of Johnstown, died at the scene.
The service program read "In Loving Memory of Kristina Quigley and Son."
"It's numbing," said sophomore Kt Dimmick of Rochester, N.Y., who was friends with some members of the team. "There's really no words for it. The simple fact that she was pregnant."
Some members of the women's lacrosse team, wearing their team jerseys, walked down the aisle during the service, holding hands and fighting back tears. They were joined at the service by members of the school's track, basketball and baseball teams. Some students wiped away tears, while most were somber and quiet through the 65-minute long service.
Men's basketball coach Tony Morocco said Quigley made an impact in the two years she was at the school.
"In the short time she was here, she was really a sincere person who always used coaching to touch kids," he said. "Often that is so missed."
Morocco said that the school's mission is to take a student and develop their soul. "She did that," he said.
"What she gave those girls is going to outlast this," the 70-year-old Morocco said.
Quigley, a native of Baltimore, was married and had a young son, Gavin, according to the school. No members of her family spoke at the service.
A small memorial to the coach and team sprouted in front of a lacrosse net on a field next to the university's baseball complex earlier Sunday. With the baseball players practicing in the background on a cold day, students and other mourners visited the memorial that featured bouquets of flowers, stuffed animals, a lacrosse stick, a whistle and a candle in front of a team photo and signs reading "In memoriam - Kristina Quigley - Forever a Griffin."
Members of the baseball team and fans observed a minute of silence for the two crash victims before their game.
The Catholic liberal arts school of about 2,500 students on 200 wooded acres atop a hill overlooking was plunged into mourning when word of the crash reached campus Saturday. The school is offering grief counseling to students.
Two victims flown to Penn State Hershey Medical Center remained there Sunday, and no official information was released. Amanda Michalski, from the Minneapolis suburb of Coon Rapids, is a freshman attacker. She is one of the players taken to the medical center. Her lacrosse coach at Coon Rapids High School, Jeff DeJoy, tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press that her parents, Gary and Gretchen Michalski, are now with her. He says he hasn't been able to confirm the extent of her injuries.
Another woman injured in the crash was discharged Sunday afternoon from another hospital. All others aboard the bus were taken to hospitals as a precaution, but almost all were treated and released.
Police couldn't immediately say what had caused the crash, and the investigation is ongoing. The front side of the bus, which was towed from the scene Saturday night, was shorn away, and the vehicle came to rest upright about 70 yards from the highway at the bottom of a grassy slope.

On June 26, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court (the "Court") issued two decisions, finding that federal and California laws on same-sex marriages are unconstitutional. These decisions will have far-reaching and wide-ranging consequences on employee benefits programs. This Alert highlights some of the benefits-related issues employers will need to address in the very near future in light of the Court's decisions.
Section 3 of DOMA Is Unconstitutional. In U.S. v. Windsor, the Court ruled that section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 ("DOMA") is unconstitutional because it does not provide equal protection rights under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Section 3 of DOMA amended federal law to exclude samesex partners from the terms "marriage" and "spouse" as used in over 1,000 federal laws and related regulations.

no. they are just baby teeth and does not determine how the permanent teeth will come in. My kids both had perfectly straight baby teeth and when their permanent teeth came in, they were all crooked and they needed braces.

Even if their adult teeth come in crooked, it does NOT mean they will stay that way.
My ex-in-laws tried to talk me into braces for my oldest when she was 7. I said no fucking way. My sister had them for five years when she was a teenager and I saw the pain they caused. No. Just no. Not for a child.
Anyway. Here we are almost 8 years later. Her teeth have lined up nicely on their own. The ones that came in high even moved down. If she needs work it will be very minimal. Compared to years if we had done something back then.
So don't worry. It can all work out :)

Latest Human evolution Stories
A new study finds that our ancestors bred with more archaic hominin forms around 35,000 years ago, before they migrated out of Africa.
Ancient humans made cleavers, hand axes and other advanced stone tools 300,000 years earlier than previously believed, but did not take these tools with them when they left Africa.
Sexual encounters with Neanderthals produced offspring who inherited vital genes that have helped modern humans combat illness and disease.
According to a new study, the first ancestor of modern humans to master the art of cooking was homo erectus.
An international team of researchers has used ancient DNA to produce compelling evidence that the lack of genetic diversity in modern stallions is the result of the domestication process.
A scientist is claiming that interbreeding may have helped our kind survive and gain evolutionary dominance.
Scientists report they have found that savannas prevailed most of East African sites where human ancestors and their ape relatives evolved for the past 6 million years.
The 300,000 year reign of the Neanderthals most likely came to an end because of simple numbers, as modern humans outnumbered their predecessors by a 10-to-1 margin.
The role of grandparents in helping to nurture children dates back some 30,000 years, when the life expectancy of the human population began to increase significantly.
UCLA life scientists and colleagues have produced one of the first high-resolution genetic maps for African American populations.

Australopithecus garhi is a gracile australopithecine species whose fossils were discovered in 1996 by a research team led by Ethiopian paleontologist Berhane Asfaw ad Tim White, an American paleontologist. The remains are believed to be a human ancestor species and most likely the direct ancestor to the human genus Homo. Tim White was the scientist to find the first of the key A. garhi fossils in 1996 within the Bouri Formation found in the Middle Awash of Ethiopia's Afar Depression....
The Neanderthals or Neandertals are an extinct species or subspecies of the genus Homo which is closely related to modern humans.

Robin Frijns is searching for the financial means to secure a ride in Formula One
Not surprised that Sauber let Robin Frijns go
The newly signed Russian racer will be in the Monza paddock with Sauber F1 team.
Where the German might be headed is unknown, but the latest news hints at who his replacement might be.
Kevin Magnussen topped the timesheets for McLaren at the end of the first day of the F1 Young Driver Test at Silverstone. Several of the Formula One current and reserve drivers were on hand along with testing Pirelli tyres.
The youngsters will continue to have an important role at Silverstone, because the race drivers are only allowed to conduct specific tyre testing.
Sauber believes its reserve driver should stay race-sharp if possible.
Robin Frijns is seeking to combine his new F1 role with a seat in GP2.
Team Principal Monisha Kaltenborn comments on new Sauber-Ferrari C32 and their two team drivers.
Drivers Nico Hülkenberg and Esteban Gutiérrez pulled back the covers on the Sauber C32 - Ferrari 2013 challenger at the team's base in Hinwil, Switzerland today.
Monisha Kaltenborn: Robin is still young.
Robin Frijns services as reserve drive will not be required for the forthcoming winter test period.

Jobs Report Spin and Population Growth
There was a lot of discussion this past weekend on the Sunday talk show circuit regarding the March Jobs Report released last Friday. Only 88,000 jobs were added in March. Compared to February, which added 268,000 jobs, this is a 180,000 drop. Actually, more like a plummet: economists had figured more than twice that number would be added.

You were so bummed about it that you felt like crying, but you decided to move on. You opened your front door to your house and went inside and you took off your bag, flopped down onto your sofa and turned on the television. You watched (your favourite TV programme except Doctor Who!) and then you switched to the news. You heard your stomach growl, so you went to the kitchen and you gathered some crisps, chocolate and cola to perk yourself up a little, as you were sure your stomach would eat itself if it waited any longer. As you were about to return to the sofa, you heard a strange whirring noise coming from outside. It gradually grew louder and louder, until you heard a boom and it then stopped. You went into your garden and to your shock, you saw a blue police box standing in front of you. A man stumbled out, looking towards you smiling.'Oh 'ello there madam!' He sai

Penang, Georgetown
Penang, Malaysia
Penang is the northern gateway to Malaysia and the country's oldest British settlement. To the tourist industry, Penang has been marketed for a long time as the "Pearl of the Orient".
When the British, under Captain Francis Light, took possession of Penang in 1786, they found the island covered in dense jungle and uninhabited, except for a handful of Malay fishermen and a few pirates. The small township, named Georgetown after George III (Prince of Wales), developed around the camp by the harbour. Many immigrants were attracted by the newly declared free port status and the island quickly became a cultural melting pot with an eclectic mix of races and religions in a unique blend of east and west. By 1789, Georgetown had a population of 5,000. By the end of the next decade, the population had doubled.
Colonial Penang prospered until the outbreak of World War II. When the Japanese advanced down the peninsula, Penang Island was cut off and British residents were evacuated to Singapore. The Japanese administration lasted from December 1941 to July 1945. Remarkably, Georgetown's buildings were virtually unscathed despite Allied bombing attacks. In fact today, Georgetown is noted for the largest collection of pre-war houses in all of Southeast Asia, preserved and protected under the auspices of the Penang Heritage Trust. In July 2008, the city of Georgetown, in conjunction with Malacca, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, listed under "Melaka and Georgetown, historic cities of the Straits of Malacca".
In addition to the island itself, Penang State also includes a strip of land on the mainland opposite Province Wellesley. The two entities are linked by the eight-mile-long (12.8 km) Penang Bridge and a 24-hour ferry service.
Although Penang is best known for its beaches, there is much more here than just sand and sea. The island is considered a cultural and architectural gem with Chinese, Malay, Indian and European influences.
Going Ashore at Penang
Pier Information
The ship is scheduled to tender due to ongoing expansion works at Swettenham Pier. The landing point of the tender boats is at the Tanjong City Marina. The Marina is located about two miles (3.2 km) from the centre of Georgetown. It is about a 200-yard walk to the tour coaches which are lined outside the Marina. Taxis and trishaws are available. The fares should be agreed upon before setting out.
Along Jalan Penang and at Prangin Mall are a variety of department stores and shops. For goldsmiths, look on Lebuh Campbell in Chinatown. Batik, silk, Royal Selangor pewter and jewellery are also available in Penang. The local currency is the ringgit.
There are restaurants to suit every taste, but Penang's specialties include such dishes as assam laksa (hot and sour fish soup), nasi kandar (rice with curry dishes), mee yoke (prawns and chilli noodle soup) and inche kabin (a marinated and fried chicken). There is a food court in the Komtar Mall.
Other Sights
St. George's Church
Built in 1818, it is of classic Georgian architecture. On its grounds stands a monument to the memory of Captain Francis Light, founder of Georgetown.
Penang Hill
Ascend this 2,500-foot hill by funicular and enjoy a splendid view over Georgetown. It is about 10°F (4°C) cooler on Penang Hill than in town.
Botanical Gardens
The 74-acre landscaped gardens feature many indigenous and exotic plant species, a waterfall, jungle-clad hills and two species of monkeys, the macaque and dusky leaf monkeys.
Private Arrangements
For those guests interested in touring at your leisure, we are pleased to offer Silver Shore Privato - both half-day and full-day private arrangements by private car or van.

IN 1974 AMERICAN THEATERS WERE briefly graced by a movie called The Sugarland Express. Based on a true story, the film proposed the adventure of a fugitive Texas convict and his spunky harebrained wife. The two hijack a rookie state trooper in a desperate attempt to keep the state from declaring them unfit parents and putting their infant son in a foster home. Along the way, the captors and captive become buddies, and there are all sorts of other action-picture clichés—car chases, wrecks, explosions, a convincingly bewildering gunfight. But the movie stands out because the director had the good sense to slow it down. The old rodeo cowboy and character actor Ben Johnson played a highway patrol captain doing his best to rescue his dumb rookie and keep the hapless outlaws from coming to the unhappy end proposed by Texas Ranger snipers. No Dirty Harry, this guy. "I've been on the force eighteen years," drawls Johnson's cop. "It's been my good fortune not to have killed anybody in that time. That's the way I'd like to keep it." Eventually, yahoos with a "Register Communists, Not Firearms" bumper sticker intervene and pitch the story into its inevitable dark turn, but most of the movie is a comic foreshadowing of O. J. Simpson and the white Bronco.
The Sugarland Express is a minor classic, the first feature of a young director named Steven Spielberg. The filmmaker seemed to be smitten by the name "Sugarland." The town where the runaways mean to reclaim their baby is held off-camera, always luring them on, some sweet place where their family can be redeemed. When the fictional Sugarland finally materializes onscreen, it is an ordinary Southern town with broad streets and swings on front porches and a sprawling junk yard on the outskirts. It was, in fact, nothing like the real Sugar Land. Since the time Spielberg was exploring the place as a metaphor, the former company town has transformed its murky bayous into high-spurting fountains, and the malls along the highways make the town look like the world capital of Bed Bath & Beyond. It has dozens of churches, and golf courses are its parks. Middle-class voters with no stake in the Texas ways of old, nor much knowledge of or interest in the town's curious past, have poured into its massive subdivisions. Large numbers of them aren't Texans; jobs brought them to Houston. In its suburban rebirth, Sugar Land rapidly shed whatever resemblance to the one Spielberg imagined and became one of the most Republican-dominated towns in the country.
Around the time The Sugarland Express hit theaters, future congressman Tom DeLay started doing business in the real Sugar Land; he later made his home there. The coincidence is noteworthy. The House majority leader is now widely considered the most powerful member of Congress, the orchestrator of Texas's fierce redistricting battle and a fundraising goliath. But DeLay might have remained just another irked young conservative if not for the sea change in Texas politics over the past three decades, one that shifted power from rural areas to the new suburbs, from single-party Democratic control to overwhelming Republican dominance. The transformation in Texas politics is embedded in the history of Tom DeLay's Sugar Land.
IN THE 1820'S THE COASTAL PRAIRIE and savannah along the Brazos River lured the first settlers from the United States to the Texas colony of Stephen F. Austin, in what was then a Mexican province. Austin granted the area on Oyster Creek to his secretary in 1828. Some residents of DeLay's congressional district still proudly claim heritage as descendants of Austin's Three Hundred, those first families of Texans. The Brazos bottomlands get abundant rain—one legendary flood reached eight miles across—and the heavily silted, dark gumbo soil is extraordinarily fertile. Many of Texas's first and richest plantations sprawled across the valley in rows of cotton, corn, and sugarcane. A mill that ground cane into sugar opened in 1843; the village of Sugar Land grew around it.
The Civil War and its aftermath killed off most of the plantations, but another thing the countryside nourished was prisons. State penitentiaries were flung out in all directions—a culture of dog boys and horseback-riding guards and convicts in white coveralls marching off into the haze with ten-pound hoes. The convicts were leased as labor to the remaining sugarcane farmers. De facto slavery was alive and well, legal and just as brutal. Prisoners suffered malaria and tuberculosis and yellow fever. They called Sugar Land "the Hell Hole on the Brazos."
The non-penal settlement almost became a ghost town, but in the first decade of the new century, a partnership of investors bought up two of the old plantations and built a sugar-processing plant. They named their enterprise the Imperial Sugar Company after the Imperial Hotel in New York. After the First World War, one of Imperial's founding partners devoted himself to building Sugar Land as a company town. Imperial greatly enlarged the plant, and ethnic Germans and Czechs moved in and gave the area a stable population. Outside town, the planters' labor pool and the convicts' bitterness went unchanged. The company sold one of the sugar plantations to the Texas prison system, which continued to run it like the farmers, for a profit. The pioneering blues singer Leadbelly—better known to wardens in the twenties as the murderer Huddie Ledbetter—composed a classic song called "The Midnight Special" while incarcerated in Sugar Land. The Midnight Special was a train that each night passed by the prison. For the convicts it was a symbol of freedom.
By 1932 Imperial was the last sugar manufacturer in Texas. The company diversified into vinegar and pickles, mattresses and warehousing, and the sprawling plant held on by refining Cuban sugar. After cold war politics eliminated that supply, the refinery endured a long, slow death. The small town it had spawned differed from neighbors only in its unusual origins. Until Spielberg came along, the most fame ever bestowed on Sugar Land was the blessing and curse of a fifties high school

Recent Dominica Reviews
Great villa, owner and caretaker, nice quiet area, a bit windy during our stay
We arrived on the island at 9:30am due to our inter-island flight from Guadeloupe. We picked up our car and drove to the villa to drop off our luggage. The owner, Christopher and the caretaker, Gwenneth, greeted us. While we waited for the villa to be cleaned we drove around Calibashie to get our bearings and then drove over to Portsmouth for lunch and groceries. On our return to the villa, we were shown where everything was located, given directions about the wifi, gas grill, pool, etc. and we're also given a cell phone to use should we need it while on the island. The villa was sparkling clean and as good, if not better than what the pictures show online. The view is just gorgeous and the master bedroom was larger than expected. The pool is a great plunge pool and was refreshing and cool. The pool itself gets sun from about 8:30 until 1:15. The patio and pool area gets sun until about 3:30. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were skimpy and they did not provide pillow covers for the spare pillows. Since we were only using one bedroom, we borrowed some from another bedroom (pillows thin and skimpy in all bedrooms). The villa has lots of stone and the floors and bathrooms are very nice looking. The gas grill was in excellent shape and worked very well. So many times the grills on the islands are old and rusty and do not cook the food very well, this was not the case here. I was even able to grill some nice BBQ chicken one night for dinner without having anything cook too much or too little. Wifi was strong and we could even connect to DISH back home in the evening to watch a recorded show. The only drawback is that there is no dishwasher. Be sure to save your plastic bags from shopping as you will need them for trash bags. They only provided one trash bag and expect you to use bags from the grocery store (they will provide extras if needed). If you have never stayed on an island in the hills, it may take a bit to get used to the wind. It made for very comfortable days by the pool, but when rain came at night, the winds got stronger and woke us up once or twice. It was also too chilly to enjoy dinner sitting out on the deck by the pool. A couple of locals told us that the stronger winds are not typical for this time of the year. It usually does not get this windy until hurricane season. The wind does keep all of the mosquitos away - so that was a plus. We had no issues with skeeters or any type of insect the entire stay on the island.
Beautiful View
Three of us stayed here the last week of Sept. 2014. The view was spectacular. We really enjoyed the deck and the view. The location was great, close enough to town, for shopping and dinner, but far enough away for the quiet and beauty of the island. We had a fabulous week in Dominica and can't wait to return. The rental looks just like the pictures and met all of our expectations. Mark was helpful in arranging transportation and car rentals even with our travel delays and also was very responsive prior to our booking and during the planning stages.
Hill Top Heaven
We spent 11 days in Dominica as we wanted to split our time between both coasts. For 4 days, we spent our time on the east coast (highly recommend Mermaids Secret in Rosalie) and then had the pleasure of staying at this lovely cottage on the west coast. The photos really do not do the property (nor the surrounding area) justice! The property sits on top of tall hill, over looks the Caribbean Ocean, has pretty mountain views and is surrounded by beautiful landscaping. Rainbows were a common occurence! The inside of the cottage was clean, decorated with modern decor and the bedrooms had very comfortable bedding (the linens were top quality as well). Both bedrooms had entry ways to the outdoor patio/living room which was a great place to sit and enjoy a cocktail under a Dominica rain. The air conditioning was room controllable and worked quite well. I loved the large stone walk in shower and sure appreciated the super hot shower after a long day of hiking. We made good use of the well equipped kitchen and loved the open flow of the living room and kitchen area. My favorie part of the cottage was the semi wrap around porch and deck. It had a covered section with awesome views of the ocean and was a great place to hang out when the rain fell. Our nights were spent on the open deck gazing out at the stars, admiring the moon shining down on the ocean and and laughing at the colorful lights inside the small pool. As much fun as we had during the day hiking the island; we equally enjoyed the evenings spent partying on the deck! The property was very close to a local grocery, just minutes away from downtown, minutes away from an ATM, a short ride from a great little beach and very close to the road whch took you to the east coast. It was centrally located to the northern and southern tip of the island (in other words; a perfect spot!). Luckly, the Owner was the office manager for the best car rental company on the island (Road Runner) and helped us set up rentals for 2 very reliable vehicles. She was very friendly, communicative and made the rental process a very simple one. We are planning a return trip in 2014 and will certainly return back to this property. You will be hard pressed to find a nicer and more cost efficient rental on the west coast!

Finding Hope, Inspiration, and a Little Broccoli in Tomorrowland ~ #Tomorrowland #TomorrowlandEvent
Inspiring. I don't often use that word when it comes to movies. Usually when I talk about movies it's about the handsome hunky guy or the cute cartoon or the cute furry animals. I'm entertained for a couple hours. I may even learn something. But I'm not inspired. I'm not hopeful. Tomorrowland is a story about hope and redemption and I came away inspired. I'm sure some of you out there are probably sitting there thinking "Sure, it's a movie." But not every inspiring moment has to be a voice from the heavens. I saw the movie two weeks ago. Since then I have interviewed many of the actors and the writers of the movie. I've seen some incredible things from Disney.

KING — Surry Central's two doubles teams finished second and fourth in the Western Piedmont Conference Tournament Monday.
Unlike singles, the doubles tournament took place all in one day. West Stokes took first and third places.
All four doubles teams have qualified for the 2A regional tournament a week from Friday in Lexington.
North Surry's Cameron Shore and Mason Taylor won a match 8-6 against Forbush, but then lost to the eventual champions, Andrew Holmes and Sam Elter, West Stokes, 6-1, 6-0.
Central's Kirk Needham and Weston Mosley were next to fall to Holmes/Elter, 6-0, 6-0.
Wilmoth and Day beat Ethan Elliott and Frank Sells 6-1, 6-2 in the other semifinal.
Holmes and Elter were sharp all day and beat Wilmoth and Day 6-3, 6-3.
In the third-place match, Needham and Mosley were up 5-4 before Elliott and Sells won three straight games to take the set.
The second set also was close, but West Stokes won 6-4.
Needham missed some matches recently with a right arm injury. He played, but wasn't able to raise his arm high for serves and overhead slams.
"He's struggling," admitted Central coach Mark Parsons. "You can tell his arm isn't back to normal."
Because of injuries and other problems, the Eagles haven't had a lot of time together in doubles, the coach said.
Wilmoth and Day have been a tough doubles team throughout their four years, but they have only played together in about 70 percent of the team's matches, he said. Kirk and Weston have had even fewer matches together than that.
Still, they put together some great efforts and qualified for the regional, which is even tougher now that the 2A conference has increased from three teams to five this year, he noted.
"You can tell that these guys want to do well, and they are willing to put in the work to get better," he said, but with many of them playing three sports, the bodies start to wear down after a while.
Of his two singles players who lost, Parsons said he was proud of the effort given by two sophomores. Tanner Mears and Zach Cochran lost to people who are going to regional, and they still managed to pull out a few wins in each set, he noted.
Tanner and Zach Cochran weren't in the top six last year, but they have played well and give the Eagles a bright future, the coach believed.

Lobo Football
Saturday: UTEP 38, Lobos 20
Up Next: Lobos at New Mexico State, 6 p.m., Oct. 9
By Richard Stevens - Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
Before the sky opened wide and dropped an ocean down on University Stadium, a few good Lobo blocks parted a sea of UTEP blue and orange and New Mexico's Myles Daughtry ran to the promised land 100 yards away.
In the grand scheme of things, his kickoff return with 3:24 to play didn't change the scoreboard results that favored Miners 38-20 Saturday night in University Stadium.
But Daughtry, and probably a lot of other Lobos, are hoping his dynamic return will open up a new wave of optimism within the 0-5 Lobo team. The scoreboard did not favor UNM, but the gap between "them" and "us" was better.
"I think it will help our confidence," Daughtry said of his long sprint. "It shows we can make plays, that we can do it. We have a lot of talent on this team. We might not have the depth that everybody else has, but we have good players."
In a way, it was ironic that a special teams play turned out to be one of UNM's bigger plays of the night. The Lobos have been getting hurt on special teams and here was Daughtry burning the Miners for 100 yards and six points.
So what was the strategy on that run, Myles?
"I just ran fast. That's what I'm good at," he said. "Everybody blocked for me. It set up perfectly."
The Lobos also got another dynamic score on special teams at the 3:32 mark of the first quarter. In some ways, Anthony Hooks' 45-yard return of a blocked UTEP field goal was even more dynamic that Daughtry's long return.
A kickoff return going all the way isn't so unusual. A blocked field goal that turns into a touchdown is a bit more special. This one was big, too. Hooks' score changed the scoreboard from the 17-7 score envisioned by Miners into a 14-14 tie.
"We felt the momentum (swing)," said Hooks. "Everybody was excited. We were in the game. It wasn't a blowout."
Said Lobo Coach Mike Locksley: "I thought our guys played with effort from beginning to end. But we have a locker room full of guys who are very disappointed."
The Lobos continued to make strides in several aspects of the game. That's a good thing especially with New Mexico State Aggies next on the schedule. UNM lost to NMSU in Albuquerque in 2009. You don't want to lose back-to-back games to Aggies.
"It doesn't get any easier," said Locksley. "It's a road game, which is always tough."
The Lobos won't have University Stadium behind them when they venture to Aggie Memorial Stadium on Saturday, but there is a chance the Aggies won't be as formidable a foe as the UTEP team that left Albuquerque sporting a 4-1 mark.
UTEP pounded NMSU 42-10. That's a gap of 32 points. UNM lost to Miners by only 18 points.
Still, the Lobos have a few major concerns. UNM got 14 points on the board off a kickoff return and picking up a bouncing ball after a blocked kick. These scores don't come a team's way that often. The Lobo offense punched in a single touchdown on a 27-yard drive set up by fumble forced by Lobo Joe Stoner and recovered by Jaymar Latchison.
Freshman Tarean Austin, UNM's starting quarterback, had to leave the game with an ankle injury. The Lobos already are minus B.R. Holbrook, the starter going into the season, who is temporarily benched after having a knee scoped.
Austin went 7-11-1 in the huddle for 64 yards before being replaced by Brad Gruner. Gruner went 11-21-1 for 75 yards. The passing game combined for 139 yards with Kasey Carrier and Chris Hernandez both hauling in five passes.
The Lobo running game produced 98 yards on 31 attempts for a modest 3.2 yards per carry. UNM totaled 237 yards on offense and a single score -- a 4-yard run around the right end by Austin. Those numbers need to improve, even against Aggies.
UTEP rolled out 169 yards on the ground and 266 passing for a 435 total. The Miners lost two fumbles which help offset UNM's two interceptions.
The Lobos had only six penalties for 32 yards. The Lobos' top tackler was Carmen Messina with 10 total followed by Joe Stoner and Spencer Merritt with seven each.
"It's a tough loss," said Hooks. "We fought the whole entire game, but it's still rough to lose."
