The Territorial Papers of the United States: The Territory of
Alabama, 1817-1819. Compiled and edited by Clarence Edwin
Carter. Washington (Government Printing Office), 1952.
Vol. XVIII. Pp. 875. $5.50.
Edited by Clarence Edwin Carter, this collection of documents,
as found in the National Archives of the United States in Wash-
ington, D. C., for the years 1817-1819, provides the basis for a
study and new evaluation of the origins of the state of Alabama.
The materials are presented in four main divisions: papers
relating to the foundations of the Territory of Alabama, 1816-
1817; and papers relating to the administrations of Governor
Bibb for each of the years, 1817 through 1819. The editor points
out that this volume is in effect a continuation of volumes V and
VI of the territorial papers of the United States, relating to the
Territory of Mississippi. Making clear that the collection is not
an exhaustive one, he indicates the principles which guided him
in making the selection from the documents in the various de-
positories in Washington.
With 950 documents presented, of which "few more than a
score have appeared in any previous work," it is obvious that the
range of contribution to Alabama history is quite extensive.
Reference to some of the main items will indicate the richness
of his collection. Interesting to Alabama historians will be the
communications establishing the approximate date of the entrance
into office of the first governor of Alabama Territory, William
Wyatt Bibb. Some authorities have placed the date earlier than
the one here suggested, namely, September 25, 1817. Outstanding
in revealing local interests are the numerous memorials and
petitions presented by various bodies to local and national author-
ities. That on pages 192 to 201, for example, against the transfer
of the territory to Mississippi, lists some six hundred names of
citizens in several counties of southern Alabama. Providing sim-

This is pretty cool. BIg 10 fans predict the upcoming season. AND you get to see how each schools fans voted. Quick analogy. 1. EIU is not on anyone's radar. 2. YOu can tell a lot of Hawkeyes are from Chicago because Northwestern fans are equally as wacked as Hawk fans. 3. Everyone is hoping Big Blue is on the ropes. Enjoy.

there are number of "dutch bike companies" that sell bikes with stainless steel rims. I thought those were bad/old. Why would you do that, do they last longer?
there are number of "dutch bike companies" that sell bikes with stainless steel rims. I thought those were bad/old. Why would you do that, do they last longer?
I hate steel rims. They are heavy, no braking at all when wet,
did I mention that they weigh a ton?
Feel the Bern.
Never heard of *stainless* steel, but I know chrome-plated rims mean no-brakes-in-the-rain.
Since stainless steel is even tougher than regular steel, it *should* mean a thinner wall thickness could be used to reduce weight.
I have ss rims on my 1960 Gazelle 3 speed Dutch built. Bike probably weighs over 50 lbs.
The only advantage stainless steel rims have over other steel rims is that they won't rust. Steel rims in general have fallen out of favor because of their weight and poor braking performance in wet weather.
Caliper brakes on steel rims are poor in dry conditions and dreadful in the wet. However, if these bikes have drum, disc or coaster brakes the rim material is a non-issue.
"Stainless steel" can be weaker or stronger than mild steel and even Cr-Mo depending on the alloy used and the heat treatment. The term stainless steel covers a huge range of compositions and properties.
Chrome steel is extra slippery because the base plating metal which I think is nickel builds up in the low parts of the roughness and soon results in a mirror smooth finish.
Stainless might be a far different story.
Wheel rim alloys are probably chosen for their cold forming properties rather than maximum strength.
If you are rolling around Amsterdam at 6 MPH, neither weight nor braking matter very much.
Coaster brakes or drum brakes make the rim fine, particularly since Amsterdam'ers
when the city was growing, and they were Importing Warehouses,
were taxed by buildings frontal width, so they built narrow but high,
they the daily transport bikes, don't get brought in ,
they stay locked up, outside, in all weather.
The race bikes they ride on the weekends do.. come in and up the stairs..
My Dutch Raleigh Cameo has stainless rims with the little diamond patterns embossed into the sides. These shiny rims look beautiful but the braking is awful with the rims. All the pattern on the sides does is make a little noise when the brakes are applied.
There's always room for one more bike!
If I could find 700C SS rims I'd switch my drum brake bike to them. Rumor has it Araya made some but I've never been able to find them.

I usually only carry Fly and Surf with me, the rest I use an HM slave. Reason that, for example, in my current playthrough of Black 2, my prime candidates for learning Strength and Waterfall already have other moves with them, which would break their coverage. My Heracross, for example, has Megahorn, Close Combat, Night Slash and Rock Slide. I'm not getting rid of any of those for Strength.

Congressman Dave Reichert relies on experience and notoriety as the former King County sheriff in his campaign for a third term as the 8th Congressional District's representative. Meanwhile, his opponent, Darcy Burner, has questioned his effectiveness in a recent ad.
U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert was a cop for three decades before he became a congressman. He doesn't want voters to forget it.
He made his 30-year career in law-enforcement the cornerstone of his first campaign in 2004, and in explaining Reichert's pragmatic approach to legislating, his staff still says, "Dave's a cop."
Over the past four years, his most notable work has been on legislation to help first responders and secure money for local law-enforcement agencies.

- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal

Most Read Stories
In his first term, his experience as King County sheriff helped him land the chairmanship of a subcommittee charged with revamping federal emergency preparedness after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans — a prestigious position for a freshman lawmaker.
Now seeking a third term, and with a broader congressional record, Reichert, 58, is getting support from some groups outside the law-enforcement community. The state and national teachers unions, for example, have endorsed his re-election.
But his record as sheriff is still front-and-center in his campaign. And once again, he finds himself talking about the lessons he learned in his pursuit of the Green River Killer.
Power ranking
The nonpartisan Web site Congress.org ranks Reichert as one of the least influential members of Congress.
In its power rankings based on committee assignments, legislative activity and other factors, the group listed him 401st of 435 members for 2007. Only one bill he has sponsored since taking office in 2005 has passed Congress and is now awaiting the president's signature.
Reichert's opponent, Democrat Darcy Burner, says those statistics show Reichert is ineffective, and she's currently airing a TV ad blasting him for his low ranking.
But Reichert says he's gotten a surprising amount done despite being new, politically vulnerable and in the Republican minority for the past two years. He says he's done it by working with Democrats, and that means he hasn't always gotten credit. Instead, other lawmakers have made his proposals part of their legislation, he says.
"It's not all about getting my name on a bill," he said. "If she [Burner] is going to Congress because she wants to get her name on a bill, you know, that's the wrong reason to go. I'm going because I want to change things. I want to make things better for this country."
Reichert's staff points to eight bills they say he has gotten passed through the House — although his name appeared at the top of only one.
In his first term, he led an effort to restructure the Federal Emergency Management Agency, ensuring it stayed under the Department of Homeland Security. That was a tough political fight, he says, and in the end his version of the bill wasn't the one that passed. But much of the language in his bill ended up the final version that did pass.
He says the same thing happened in a more recent bill setting up a commission to study why U.S. citizens sometimes join terrorist groups. His version of the bill didn't make it out of committee, but he worked with the committee chairwoman, Democrat Jane Harman of California, to combine their bills into one that passed.
He did, however, sponsor the PRICE of Homeland Security Act that passed the House and, on Monday, the Senate. The bill, which gives state and local agencies more flexibility in how they use homeland-security grant money, is waiting to be signed into law.
And last winter, his amendment to a homeland-security bill added $10 million for border security to help halt terrorist travel and human smuggling.
Burner's campaign spokesman, Sandeep Kaushik, called $10 million "budget dust" and said Reichert has offered no solutions to the issues foremost in voters' minds, such as the economy.
"If he can only point to a couple of small changes, some of which haven't even happened, and he hasn't passed a single bill since he's been in Congress, it tells you something significant about his lack of effectiveness," Kaushik said in an interview before Reichert's homeland-security bill passed this week.
WEA endorsement
Reichert's background also comes into play in his work outside law-enforcement issues.
In his endorsement interview with the Washington Education Association (WEA), he told teachers his experience as King County sheriff allowed him to empathize about unfunded mandates. He told them he had seen firsthand what was happening in some kids' homes, and said he believes students' home lives affected their academic performance.
That won over some WEA members who might not have agreed with all of Reichert's politics, said Lisa Brackin Johnson, president of the Kent Education Association, who was in the interview.
Reichert ended up getting the WEA's endorsement, as well as that of the National Education Association.
His life and career were shaped by his abusive father and the protective role he had to take as the oldest of seven brothers and sisters.
He and his wife, Julie, have been married for more than 35 years and have three grown children. Generations of Reicherts live in the area. Reichert himself moved to Renton in 1951. He now lives in Auburn.
His deep roots were obvious on a recent campaign stop in Black Diamond, when he excused himself from a conversation about his campaign to talk with a shopkeeper who used to play baseball with his cousins. Reichert isn't adept at fundraising and doesn't like political events, but he is at ease campaigning face-to-face.
At the Black Diamond Bakery, he ordered lunch, then worked his way from table to table around the entire restaurant, discussing issues, telling stories and posing for pictures before returning reluctantly to his table to eat his sandwich.
Green River fame
In his district, Reichert is recognized wherever he goes as the former sheriff who helped solve one of the region's biggest murder mysteries.
He was assigned to investigate the Green River serial murders as a young detective. Nearly 20 years later, he was sheriff when Gary L. Ridgway pleaded guilty to killing 48 women.
In 2004, he published a book, "Chasing the Devil: My Twenty Year Quest to Capture the Green River Killer," and donated his $150,000 in royalties to a Kent clinic that cares for drug-addicted babies. The clinic has a room named after Reichert and staff there said the congressman is a frequent visitor, stopping in to hold babies and see how the center is doing.
This spring, the Lifetime Movie Network made Reichert's book into a TV movie, for which he received $50,000, before paying taxes and his ghost writer.
He takes exception to those who criticize him for using his Green River fame to advance his political career.
"I know some people are sick and tired of hearing me talk about it, but you know what? When you spend 19 years trying to find [the killer], how can it not affect you?" he said.
His motivation for the book and the movie was to help people understand the challenges vulnerable young women face on the street, he says. And he wanted the public to understand the emotional toll the case took on detectives.
"I never planned my life to be here [in Congress]," he said. "I never took advantage of this case or any other case or any other circumstance … . Life moved me in this direction and I saw this as an opportunity to help people and serve my country."
Among law enforcement, Reichert is respected because of the time he spent on the street before becoming sheriff, said Jamie Daniels, executive director of the Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs, which endorsed him.
"For our organization, it doesn't matter how long he's out of office as sheriff," she said. "For us, that doesn't wear out."
Kaushik, however, says Reichert should be judged on his accomplishments in Washington, D.C., not on what he did as sheriff.
"That may have been fine to rest on those laurels at the beginning, but he's been in Congress four years now," Kaushik said. "He's not Sheriff Reichert anymore. … He's Congressman Reichert and he will be judged on that basis by the voters this November."

Free agent right-hander Ervin Santana may wait "days" before making a decision on signing with a club, Fox Sports' Jon Morosi is reporting.
Source: Ervin Santana has not set a deadline to make a decision and is prepared to wait "days" before signing with a club. @FOXSports1
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) March 8, 2014
An earlier report had suggested that Santana had reached a one-year $14 million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays but a counter report stated he was waiting for another offer from a different club by 5:00 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Santana posted a 3.24 ERA in 211 innings for the Kansas City Royals in 2013, striking out 161 batters and allowing 51 walks. The 31-year-old has had trouble limiting home runs in years past, leading the league with 39 homers allowed in 2012. However, he has averaged 29 starts per season since breaking into the league as a member of the Los Angeles Angels in 2005.
Santana was tied to draft pick compensation after declining a qualifying offer from the Royals. However, the Blue Jays' two first-round draft picks are protected. This means they'll only have to surrender their second round pick (50th overall) if a deal is indeed completed. The Royals will obtain a compensatory pick following the first round of the draft.
Santana would join a Blue Jays rotation led by R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle and Brandon Morrow. J.A. Happ had projected as the team's fourth starter, but back soreness and poor spring showings have now jeopardized his rotation spot. Drew Hutchison appears to have the edge on the number five spot, with Marcus Stroman, Kyle Drabek, Esmil Rogers, Todd Redmond and others also in the mix.
Alex Anthopoulos maintained contact with Santana and other free agent pitchers throughout the winter after Blue Jays starters combined for an ugly 4.81 ERA in 2013. But instead of spending on free agents early, the Blue Jays chose to wait in hopes that asking prices would drop. It appears that their hopes have materialized. Santana initially sought a contract worth more than $100 million and had still been seeking a multi-year contract until recently.

Jaipur, Jan 30 (IANS) Ashutosh Gowariker's historical epic 'Jodhaa Akbar' is facing trouble, with the Rajput community of Rajasthan threatening to stall the release of the movie in the state.
The community says Gowariker has distorted facts in his magnum opus which is to be released Feb 15.
Narendra Singh Rajawat, head of the Rajput Sabha, said Gowariker is presenting Jodhabai as Mughal emperor Jalaluddin Akbar's wife, which is factually incorrect. He also said that Jodhabai was not the daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amber near Jaipur as shown in the film.
Jodhabai was the daughter of Motaraja Udai Singh of Marwar and was married to Akbar's son Salim alias Jehangir. And Mughal king Shahjahan was her son, he added.
Rajawat said such distortion of historical facts had hurt the feelings of the Rajput community. He urged the courts to restrain Gowariker from showing Jodhabai as the daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amber.
He said the name of Raja Bharmal's daughter was Harkabai alias Heera Kunwar.
'You cannot make your own history and Ashutosh Gowariker is making his own history. He is projecting Jodhabai, who is Akbar's daughter-in-law, as his beloved and making a love story out of that. He is totally distorting historical facts,' Rajawat told IANS.
He said that the community would boycott the film.
'We are also approaching the high court against this,' informed Rajawat.
The president of the Rajput Karni Sena, Lokendra Singh Kalvi, is also up in arms against the director. He said the Sena had apprehended the distortion of Rajasthan's historical facts in 'Jodhaa Akbar', which is based on the Jodhpur royal family.
'The Karni Sena would watch the movie when released and, if required, it would not allow the screening in the state,' said Kalvi.
Mahaveer Singh Sarwadi, a leader of the Shatriya Yuvak Singh, said: 'We would oppose the release of the film if it shows the community in bad taste.'
A number of scenes for the film, which features Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai in the lead roles, were shot in and around Jaipur. Gowariker has consulted several eminent Mughal historians for his movie.

Missouri, Kansas & Texas Ry. Co. v. United States
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Ry. Co. v. United States, 231 U.S. 112 (1913)
Missouri, Kansas & Texas
Railway Company v. United States
No. 439
Submitted October 24, 1913
Decided November 10, 1913
Under the Hours of Service Act of March 4, 1907, c. 2939, 34 Stat. 1415, when several employees are kept on duty beyond the specified time of sixteen hours, a separate penalty is incurred for the detention of each employee although by reason of the same delay of a train.
Each overworked railroad employee presents towards the public a distinct source of danger.
The wrongful act under the statute is not the delay of the train, but the retention of the employee, and the principle that, under one act having several consequences which the law seeks to prevent, there is but one liability attached thereto does not apply.
An employee who is waiting for the train to move and liable to be called and who is not permitted to go away is on duty under the Hours of Service Act.
The penalty under the Hours of Service Act, not being in the nature of compensation to the employee but punitive and measured by the harm done, is to be determined by the judge, and not by the jury.
The facts, which. involve the construction of the Hours of Service of Railway Employes Act, are stated in the opinion.

The Powerline plugs work out of the box and require no software, they will also operate without security enabled so it's possible to simply plug them in and connect the leads. However it's recommended to secure the network.
To secure the network we simply plug both adapters in to wall outlets and then once both are powered on, press and hold the security button on a single adapter for between 2 and 5 seconds and release, the power LED will begin to flash. Within 2 minutes we must then repeat this on the next adapter. The adapters will then sync passphrases and become secured. Once secured the adapters remember their security even after losing power, so once the network is up and running this shouldn't need to be repeated. If there is an issue the factory reset button can be depressed which returns the adapter to its default unsecured state. Adding a third or more adapters requires the security button to be pressed on a single existing adapter and then new one.
Powerline Utility
The padlock denotes the security status of the network and when hovering over a particular device we are shown colour coded lines, the connection rate then information about the adapter.
NETGEAR also supply firmware update software via their website. We simply run the .exe file and it will indicate which devices on the network have an older firmware; again we need to enter the devices password if it is not the local device connected to the PC and the software will update the firmware.

Little Lion by QuirkiliciousWatch
©2013-2016 Quirkilicious
Love it
Awesome ! Love the lion skin and Tyrion face and clothes. But I think there is a problem with his hand holding the glas. The place where his fingers touch the glas seems flat and not rounded like it should be. Do you see what I mean ?
Oh, the Imp :3
He didn't love Shae he loved Tysha, He was just infatuated with Shae.
They left a lot of that stuff out from the show. stupid show

Tyrion, second favorite Lannister of all time.
One of the only truly good Lannisters in my opinion lol, but I love this picture.
Dude, that guy can, like, use his own hair as a chair.
Dude, this guy is one of the highest paid TV series actors. Like $100k per episode for GoT.
This is amazing!
Tyrion Lannister dies in the book 5
Well he doesn't die, but any interest in his character does. He treats slave whores poorly and totally becomes a worthless douchebag.
RR Martin is spent, like the Mountain vs. the Prince of Dorne!
game of throne AWESOME BRO
if only he could get whores for free like Podrick in the show
To Quirkilicious the imp daddy and good work.
This is a great depiction! So very Tyrion! Love how he's sitting on a lion skin on top of a chair with carved lions!
very nice
it is a good show
Wow! Awesome work!
This piece is really awesome, I love it and Tyrion.
Jamie Gold Fist & Tyrion, are definetly my fav characters xD
He looks a little grumpy
Poor Tyrion. It's a hard life... Hang on, that's not right...
There we go.
There we go.
Love Love love it.
Even Joffrey?
Looks bored..........with three girls like these it is difficult to get bored
beautiful and nice work
beautiful and nice work
That's hilarious!
Love it!!
Love it!!
Your artistic talent is way beyond many artists I know, so there's no point on pointing out the obvious fact that you're awesome.
Now on to a personal note: that guy has 5 girls twice his size and he looks as if that bothered him! What's his problem?

Mark Dayton blasted for publicly financed trip to Super Bowl [UPDATE]
Dayton will meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and attend some events before heading back to Minnesota on Saturday, a day before the Super Bowl game.
-- Update at bottom --
Gov. Mark Dayton heads to New Jersey this week to woo NFL officials about bringing the 2018 Super Bowl to the new Vikings stadium in Minneapolis.
SEE ALSO: Conservatives upset Mark Dayton missed speech for birth of first grandchild
But the fact that the bill for lodging and flights to this year's Super Bowl site will be picked up by Minnesota taxpayers doesn't sit well with Republican Marty Seifert, the former House minority leader who is currently running to take Dayton's job.
"A multimillionaire like Mark Dayton expecting average Minnesotans to foot the bill for his taxpayer-financed Super Bowl vacation is an insult," Seifert said in a release. "First, Mark Dayton raised their taxes to pay out-of-state billionaire owners for a new stadium and now, he's expecting hardworking Minnesotans to pay for him to vacation with the same people."
But Dayton's press secretary argues whatever the public is paying to send the governor to New Jersey is peanuts compared to the $300 million or more bringing the Super Bowl here will generate.
"This is state business. The governor is going out to bring the Super Bowl back to Minnesota and all the economic benefits that come with it," Matt Swenson told us, adding that his boss is leaving New Jersey on Saturday, the day before the game. "It's no different than if [Dayton] were going to meet with executives of a company in San Francisco to bring jobs to Minnesota."
Asked specifically how much the governor's trip is projected to cost, Swenson said he'd "have to check on that" and get back to us.
Seifert, meanwhile, apparently couldn't resist the urge to put the exclamation point on his objection to the trip with an ad hominem shot at Dayton.
"I don't believe this publicly-funded junket is justified in the eyes of hardworking taxpayers," Seifert said. "Does the average person really think Mark Dayton is going to 'wow' Super Bowl executives with some sort of articulate message?"
Dayton has backed out of the controversial trip for reasons that would make Hank Hill proud:
Due to emergency propane shortage, #mDayton will no longer attend meetings this weekend with NFL officials regarding MNs 2018 Super Bowl bid

[I'm not a musician so am unable to discuss this in technical terms.]
There is no instrument that, in isolation, bores me more than drums/percussion. Total nightmare. Pigpen boring stoned hippies for 10 minutes while the gang got...stoned..backstage.
But I think it's impossible for a band to succeed without a competent, at a minimum, drummer. Rubbish vocals? Jimi, say hi to Bob Zimmerman. Keys? FFS, if you're in a Garage band just keep hitting Ds and no one will notice. Git? Sure, can add a lot but Johnny Ramone was hardly a virtuoso but timing and accuracy is Occam's Razor. Bass? Underrated, see drum comment above.
I think I understand why many people love Moon and Bonham....I don't, for the reason stated above. Muscular drummers make my eyes roll.
My favourite drummers? Nbr 1 with a bullet is Mick Avory....the ultimate complimentary drummer, IMO. There's a well-known drummer in the Garage scene I love named Bruce Brand. Widely admired and in great demand.
Boston Drummers? I emigrated on 18 December 1989 so I'm not totally up-to-date on the Boston scene.....but I think Paul Murphy and Linda Shore are the top of the tree.

Smithsonian Channel to premiere new "Inside the Music" documentaries and encore of "Wanda Jackson: The Sweet Lady with the Nasty Voice" in October
The Smithsonian Channel will be premiering three "Inside the Music" documentaries in October: "Phil Collins: Going Back to Detroit," "Real World of Peter Gabriel," and "Hip Hop: The Furious Force of Rhymes."
The network is also airing encores of other programs in the series including one on Oklahoma native Wanda Jackson entitled "Wanda Jackson: The Sweet Lady with the Nasty Voice."
The shows' synopses and air dates, provided by the Smithsonian Channel, are as follows:
PHIL COLLINS: GOING BACK TO DETROIT premieres Sunday, October 2 at 7 p.m. This hour-long special features the music from Collin's first solo album in eight years. It recounts the major influence that Motown music had on a young Phil Collins as he was finding his musical voice, and follows him on a journey to rediscover the roots of the Motown Sound. Teaming up with The Funk Brothers, three original Detroit session guitarists, Collins records his new album of Motown hits "Going Back", featuring some of Motown's greatest songs including Dancing in the Streets, Nowhere to Run, My Girl and Papa Was A Rolling Stone. The program shows exclusive footage of Collins preparing for the album's accompanying concert tour.
The hour-long REAL WORLD OF PETER GABRIEL, premiering Sunday, October 9 at 7 p.m., was inspired by the 20th Anniversary of Gabriel's Real World Records and the release of his collaborative album "Big Blue Ball". This record was a result of some of the legendary 'Real World Recording Weeks' which took place in the 1990′s, where musicians from all over the world got together and made music. The film gives an insight into the extraordinary atmosphere in which these sessions were held and also Real World's process of recording with producers and artists who come from different cultural backgrounds. The filmmakers spent time at Real World going through the archives and filming interviews with key staff, including Gabriel.
The international explosion of hip-hop culture and rap music is explored in the award- winning HIP-HOP: THE FURIOUS FORCE OF RHYMES, making its INSIDE THE MUSIC premiere on Friday, October 21 at 7 p.m. The film traverses four continents and six countries, looking at hip-hop as trans-national protest music. Rap has found kindred souls in people as diverse as African Activists, Israeli Jews, French Arabs and even German skinhead punks, all of whom share a common musical language. Recognizing themselves in the oppression of American blacks, people in various parts of the world have adapted the music born on the streets of New York to their own causes.
WANDA JACKSON: The Sweet Lady with the Nasty Voice – Saturday, October 1 at 7 p.m. – The story of the first lady of rockabilly and one of Elvis's girlfriends – rock 'n' roll pioneer Wanda Jackson. As Rolling Stone said: "Jackson was the first to bring a woman's intuition into the boy's club of early rock-n-roll." The film follows the Grammy Award nominee and legendary singer as she performs in Maine, Austin, New York City, Oklahoma City, Washington, D.C., and overseas in Sweden and Finland.
The Accordion KingS – Friday, October 7 at 7 p.m. This is the story of the traditional beat at the heart of Latin America's richest music, featuring an exclusive performance and interview with pop star and Grammy winner Carlos Vives as well as behind the scene footage of the legendary Vallenato Festival. In Colombia's northern Magdalena Valley, "valley music" is the rage and the accordion is king. Even mega pop stars Shakira and Gloria Estefan have fused this rhythm into their songs. Every 10 years, Colombia's top accordion virtuosi gather in the market town of Valledupar to compete in a fierce musical battle to decide who among them is the undisputed Accordion King.
KLAUS VOORMAN: ALL YOU NEED IS KLAUS – Saturday, October 8 at 7 p.m. – A journey into the incredible life of Klaus Voormann. Respected as one of the finest bass guitarists of all time, Voormann is best known for his association with the most popular and most influential band in rock 'n roll history, The Beatles. ALL YOU NEED IS KLAUS also features Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr,Carly Simon, and Randy Newman. Joe Walsh and Simon are also interviewed in the film, with Simon recounting Voormann's influence on her big hit, You're So Vain.
Worlds of Sound: The Ballad of Folkways – Friday, October 14 at 7 p.m. – Folkways Records founder Moses Asch turned the music business model on its head. He avoided hit makers and catered to unknown musicians. He dug into vanishing traditions around the world to harness music and sounds that inspire people. Artists like Woody Guthrie and Lead Belly can still be heard on this original indie label.
ELECTRIFIED: THE GUITAR REVOLUTION – Sunday, October 23 at 7 p.m. Without it, there would be no Hendrix, Clapton, The Beatles or rock n' roll for that matter. This 60-minute high-wattage history lesson salutes the inventors, pioneers and gods of the electric guitar. The electric guitar was invented to be heard among the brass instruments of the big band era, but it soon took on a sound and life of its own. From the early days of the Model U and the Frying Pan to the guitar wars of Fender and Gibson, experience its evolution through vintage footage, interviews with rock historians, and rousing live performances. Virtuosos like G.E. Smith of the Saturday Night Live Band bring to life the sound innovations of the electric guitar.
Play on, John: A Life in Music – Friday, October 28 at 7 p.m. Before Bob Dylan and the Band, there was John Cohen. Almost more than anyone else, he saved and celebrated traditional American Folk Music. Many believe that he is the inspiration for the Grateful Dead's famous song "Uncle John's Band." An American treasure, he is a musician, a painter, a documentary filmmaker, print maker and a photographer.
Making the Monkees – Sunday, October 23 at 7 p.m. Making the Monkees follows the story of four young men with varying degrees of musical talent who landed parts on a new TV series about a fictional band. That band went on to outsell The Beatles and Elvis Presley combined in 1967. But their success was short-lived, and their downfall was as fast as their rise to stardom.

Statement by Kenneth E. Dowlin, ALA Candidate for President
Dowlin, Kenneth E., American Libraries
The changes that are taking place in our work, homes, communities, and the greater society as we move toward the 21st century are creating a threshold for a decision by librarians. We must make a conscious - perhaps even bold - decision about our future.
What is the future of librarianship? Is it a profession? What roles will we play in our communities and beyond? How will we respond to the massive changes in our society coming from communications technologies, demographic shifts, and the global nature of our economic structures? Will librarians be passive in the face of these forces, or will we provide leadership to our institutions and communities? Who will educate our successors to carry on our values, traditions, history, and commitment to librarianship?
Librarianship and library leaders throughout this country are being confronted by cyberostriches, by community members who have different values and agendas, by local news media acting like tabloids, and our own members who do not believe in the ALA Code of Ethics.
Having created one of the very first 21st-century major public libraries, I am ready to expand my horizons. I have spent over 35 years enhancing libraries in three states. The lives of tens of thousands in communities where I have served are being enriched daily by the libraries I built. Community and business leaders, librarians, and members of other groups around the world have been enlightened by my speeches and writings.
In San Francisco I took a dream from a handful of passionate people, created a vision of what the library could be, communicated that vision to the community, built the New Main Library, and dramatically improved the library as a system - not just a collection of books and buildings. I build vision, I communicate, and I lead.
There needs to be a fundamental change in librarianship. While continuing to preserve the knowledge of the past in all relevant formats, we must prepare for the new roles that are needed by our communities as they struggle with the massive shift from the Information Age to the Communications Age.
Libraries from the 19th century, as embodied by the Carnegie buildings, were focused on books and buildings. During the 20th century, libraries made the change needed by reaching out with bookmobiles, branches, the telephone, the fax, and the other new media. Collections expanded to include knowledge and information in many formats.
As we enter the next millennium, libraries must focus on communication, content preservation, and people spaces (both real and virtual).
I learned the power, the magic, of libraries more than 35 years ago when I started my career driving a bookmobile. …

It doesn't matter if you have recently moved or your insurance policy has changed. You might get yourself faced with the task of looking for a new dentist in your area. The one you choose to take good care of your teeth should be someone you feel at ease with and trust. This expert also should demonstrate a thorough knowledge of dentistry to give you professional care.
You can seek referrals from family members, friends as well as co-workers to know about dental experts that you may consider using. Ask relevant questions regarding any professional you plan to hire, including questions about style of care, location of the office, approach with patients, office hours, insurance and fees and emergency availability. Ask your doctor for dentist recommendation. Often experts will give you one superb name that meets their high standards.
If you get a short list of names, you have to compare them to a list of dentists covered by your insurance. Any suggested professional who is covered by your insurance must move to the top of your list of likely people to hire.
Research names of dentists through checking local and state dental societies. The names integrated in these lists will be specialists with good standing in these organizations. Once you find names missing from the list, these might have had concerns which keep them from being included in the list. Check the training and education of each person. Make sure that you just consider those with the best and highest quality education. With a number of finalists, it is time to meet each dentist in person to know the one you want to use.
Note the office hours and office location to make sure that the dentist you choose keeps convenient hours at a site convenient to your workplace or home. Schedule a consultation date with each finalist to provide you with a chance to chat in person. You can ask questions regarding the professional's opinion regarding preventative dentistry. Ask about the kinds of sedation available with every dental practice. Know whether each caregiver attends ongoing conferences and seminars. Ask about how the practice handles urgent situations and missed appointments. Determine whether your medical insurance covers dental care with this dental practice and obtain full information concerning charges and fees.
While visiting the dental clinic, note the setting to surrounding to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Observe the orderliness and cleanliness of the office. Know whether the dental staff and medical personnel are courteous and friendly. Check for health protocol like wearing masks and gloves during procedures. See how the dentist and his or her medical personnel talk to you and answer your questions. Readiness to spend time answering queries is a superb indication of quality.
Once you have particular needs for dental care, talk to any potential candidates. Reveal your particular health issues to decide whether the candidate you think would be capable of assisting you or not. Some experts limit their range of care and do not take on patients with particular needs and others choose to concentrate on special-need patients. A number of dental practices also provide to low-income patients, providing a sliding scale of charges.

Vienna Meeting Airs New Nuclear Fuel Proposals
Pomper, Miles A., Arms Control Today
Concerns that global tensions over Iran's uranium-enrichment program may be the first in a series of future crises are spurring governments and private organizations from nuclear supplier countries to step forward with new efforts to limit the spread of nuclear fuel-cycle technology. But it is not clear if the steps will be enough to dissuade additional countries from undertaking activities that could potentially provide critical materials for nuclear weapons.
New steps include proposals from Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom and a $50 million commitment from the nongovernmental Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI). Russia and the United States also continue to promote their own proposals. The initiatives were the focus of a special International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) meeting Sept. 19-20 to develop a "new framework" for fuel supply issues and will be considered further by the agency in future months.
Although differing in their particulars, the efforts are aimed at encouraging nonnuclear-weapon states to forgo domestic uranium enrichment and the reprocessing of plutonium in spent nuclear fuel. Low-enriched uranium (LEU) or a mixture of plutonium and uranium can be used to fuel nuclear power plants, but highly enriched uranium (HEU) or plutonium can provide the fissile material for nuclear weapons. Questions about whether Iran's pursuit of enrichment technologies is intended for peaceful or military purposes lie at the heart of the standoff over Tehran's program. (See page 24).
Trying to avoid future problems, the proposals seek to assure the non-nuclear-weapon states that they will be able to import adequate supplies of nuclear fuel.
NTI co-chairman Sam Nunn, for example, said Sept. 19 that billionaire Warren Buffett would provide $50 million to the IAEA to fund "a last-resort fuel reserve for nations that have made the sovereign choice to develop their nuclear energy based on foreign sources of fuel supply services and therefore have no indigenous enrichment facilities." The money would be used to create an LEU stockpile and would be contingent on one or more member states contributing an additional $100 million in funds or an equivalent amount of LEU within two years and on agency member states agreeing on a political framework to manage such a stockpile. To date, however, no member-state has come forward and committed funds toward this project.
Assistant secretary of Energy Dennis Spurgeon told reporters Sept. 19 that the NTI effort would complement a proposal that six nuclear suppliers made to the IAEA Board of Governors in late May. The proposal by France, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States would seek to establish a "multilateral mechanism for reliable access to nuclear fuel."
U.S. officials have said the voluntary IAEA mechanism would include three basic elements. The IAEA would facilitate new commercial arrangements if a country should find its supply interrupted for reasons other than failure to comply with nonproliferation obligations. Reserves of enriched uranium, held nationally or perhaps by the IAEA, would serve as a fuel reserve of "last resort." The agency would determine eligibility based on a country's compliance with IAEA safeguards and acceptance of nuclear safety standards, as well as the renunciation of "sensitive fuel cycle activities," such as uranium enrichment or spent fuel reprocessing. …

Date of Stay: October, 2014
Still one of the most peaceful places you can camp at, even though it's out of the way. They have added Wi-Fi at the visitor center by the campground so you can use your cell or laptop. Maintenance was lacking, but again it's due to our government making budget cuts while still supporting other things. It's sad to let a campground let go.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
Campground has changed to the dark side. Rates have gone up to 35 versus 30, without any significant changes for the better. Restrooms were full of dead bugs and one out of two toilets was stopped up and disgusting. I think the lady who had done an outstanding job has been let go. The guys doing it now don't spend but 5 minutes on cleaning, go figure. Sites are still the same with lots of blocks needed to level unless you get here early and find one of the twenty where you can level your unit. Will be looking for another campground in the future. It's not the staff at the campground; its the city management people that have no clue in running a campground.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
Still a great campground and no complaints what so ever. Yes, 4 days of rain will make the grass grow and not suited to cut when wet. Some people just have to find something as stated before. Will be back soon.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
Terrific campground that allows the senior access pass which is half price. Rangers are great and friendly. It is very isolated with no cell or local TV stations. Wally world is about 20 minutes away if you get lonely.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
Campground had done a 180 degree since last visit. No seasonals and very clean and staff is very friendly and caters to campers. Restrooms are spotless thanks to a lady that cleans for two hours every day. Will return again.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
Second event at a KOA in the past seven years. Why would they put a 32' fifth wheel with a full size truck on a 40' site between two roads? You wonder what management is thinking. Pull-through are nice and shaded and park is very clean. Security is constant riding around on their golf cart. Would stay again but never on their wish to park me on a site that is really not camper friendly. Wake up people.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
Nice campground with shopping only ten minutes away near by in Middlesboro, Kentucky. Rating would be higher if they had water at the site. Fill your RV tank when you enter if you are staying overnight. Rate is 1/2 price from using Golden Age pass. Lots of hiking trails available.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
Another State Park that is great. Although it states big rig friendly, it would help if you knew your site in advance: not all are large enough. Most state 41 feet in depth but some lack that amount for sure unless you place your rear jacks on very unlevel ground. Sites are mostly level and paved and 1/2 or almost have sewers if you are staying very long. No TV or cell reception in park. You can get PBS and KET but no major news station. Cell service is available about 1 mile drive if you have AT&T. Bluegrass cell will work in campground and at lodge. Closest town is Burkesville with not much but does have gas and groceries and some shops.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
Still a nice getaway campground. Stayed two nights and enjoyed the time away. We arrived after some tent people that left a mess of beer cans behind the site and trash in the fire pit. Wouldn't expect anything less, some people just don't get it.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
Still one of the top notch campgrounds in the area. Would have given a higher rank if the security people riding around, would stop some of the people who don't recognize the speed limit within the campground. The dust was bad because of all the new gravel in place.
Date of Stay: September, 2009
Very nice campground with pull-through sites that help for short stays. We stayed here two nights on the way to the beach. W-Fi is available but you need to be close to office. Restrooms need to updated but a one-holer is OK. Will stay here again next time through.
Date of Stay: September, 2009
Beautiful state campground with lots to do at campground and in the area. Only issue like others is lack of Wi-fi; otherwise would rank as one of the top all time.
Date of Stay: September, 2009
We camped here going and coming to Florida for an overnight only. Pull-through sites help but not much around here to do. Will stay here again, it's a nice campground.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
Out of the way campground but still one of our favorites. Always clean and the upkeep is ongoing. Wally World is only 20 minutes away in case you want or need something.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
Septic system went down and no one was allowed to dump and it may be down for a week. This isn't the fault of the campground but something could have been done for the campers to dump even if the state had to hire private sewage pumpers to help out in an emergency. The campground is still one of my favorites but you can see that the state is cutting corners on the upkeep and it will cost them in the long run of things.

Between 1997 and 2007, the number of farms operated by Latinos grew from 343 to 491 (43%). The share of female Latina operators tripled, increasing from about 10% to 31% of all Latino/a operators. The average farm size of Latino-operated farms was 291 acres in 2007 and just over half considered farming to be their primary occupation As the number of Latino farmers grows, their average age (52 years) has slowly decreased, while for all farm operators the average age is increasing (56 years in 2007, nearly two years older than five years earlier). This work was supported mainly by a grant from the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture.
Many more new immigrants from Mexico and Central America have small-scale diversified farming experience, and would like to farm in Iowa, according to research conducted by Hannah Lewis (see J. Flora's 2007 Success Story). The end goal of this two+ year project (January 2008-May 2010) was to launch a new generation of organic and sustainable farmers and market gardeners in two Iowa communities with substantial immigrant populations. In Marshall County, this involved renting small plots in a 140-acre incubator farm at Marshalltown Community College that had been transitioned to organic. In Denison (Crawford County) it involved expanding and revitalizing the community gardens and exposing Latino/a and other gardeners to the idea of marketing some of their production through direct marketing venues.
The principal objectives were:
In Marshalltown, the project included a bilingual organic farmer training program with curriculum in English and Spanish appropriate for persons with limited literacy. In January through March 2009, Marshalltown Community College offered an eight-week bilingual (Spanish/English) session for area residents that wanted to start farming and selling their vegetables locally. The course was modified based on lessons learned the previous year and repeated from January to May 2010. Instructors included MCC faculty, PFI staff and small and diversified farmers, ISU Extension and outreach personnel, an Iowa MicroLoan person, and Sustainable Agriculture students at ISU. Coordination was handled jointly by MCC and ISU Sociology Extension. To assess possible markets for these new producers, ISU sociology students, with the Marshalltown Chamber of Commerce, conducted a survey of Latino and Anglo businesses to determine their willingness to buy locally-produced food.
Seventeen students completed the training, and twelve of them started farming on the MCC organic farm in the 2009 season. Students/farmers came from diverse backgrounds, including individuals born in Mexico, Iowa, and Sudan, as well as the land manager of the Mesquaki Settlement. Because the new farmers held other jobs that kept them very busy, the classes involved the entire family, with activities for the children to introduce them to farming. The class was repeated in 2010 with a similar number and diversity of students. In 2009, of the six teams of farmers that rented land from the MCC farm, five were Latino families. Three teams sold produce in the Des Moines Farmers' Market and one experimented with selling to retailers in Marshalltown and Ames.
Partners in the Marshalltown endeavor include Prairie Rivers Resource Conservation and Development, Marshalltown Community College Entrepreneurial and Diversified Agriculture, Iowa State University Extension, and the National Center for Appropriate Technology. These entities also planned, with Prairie Rivers RC&D in the lead, a series of four community meetings leading to a new vibrant local foods organization called Harvest from the Heart of Iowa.
In Denison, we work with Latino immigrants recruited to the Community Gardens through collaboration between Farmland Foods, where the gardeners worked, and the City of Denison, which provided land and water. Prior to this project, there were 14 community gardeners, all but one Latino/a (2008 season). That year there were 4 empty plots of 16 available, and in 2009 there were only two empty plots out of 20 offered. The number and size of plots were expanded further for the 2010 season. The collaboration of local organizations is so strong and enthusiastic that the ISU team feels comfortable about retiring from the effort. Anglos and Latinos were recruited for the 2010 season.
Three training sessions were held at the ISU Extension office in Crawford County, and there was good attendance from the Latino community in Denison, mostly gardeners at two of the three sessions. The training sessions covered issues of pesticides and fertilizers (conventional and organic), marketing options, and companion planting.
Outcome Statement:
Short-term results measure awareness and knowledge.
It was a positive experience, especially for my children. They were able to experience the hard work, and time it takes to develop something that can be called our "own". (Latino person who took the class)
The 2009 MCC class had the following short-term impacts, according to students:
Medium-term results measure behavior change.
In both communities, many farmers used their produce to augment the diets of family and friends; some also donated to the church. Farmers interested in selling their produce had a difficult time. In Marshalltown, a few were able to sell their produce locally, particularly to persons wanting to support local food systems. Some participated in the Des Moines Farmers' Market. The farm manager, who had a stand at the Market, sold produce for them. Even so, they did not make money. One farmer attempted, with difficulty, to sell to local grocery stores. Those interested in selling to local stores and restaurants agreed that they need to learn more about the varieties stores want to purchase.
In Denison, the following outcomes were cited by gardeners in a focus group evaluation:
In Marshall County, a vigorous local foods group was established in November 2009. One committee is about to publish a local foods directory for the area 30 miles around Marshalltown. One Latino is on their board of directors.
Long-term results measure condition (i.e., new standard).
In the 2009 season, not one community gardener in Denison sold any produce. All was consumed at home or given away to family and friends. Diego Thompson, the ISU graduate student who coordinated the Denison project this past year, did his thesis from interviews with four community gardeners/beginning farmers from each of the two communities. He concluded that a number of positive cultural values about growing things and providing them to one's family and friends made selling the produce a much lower priority. One gardener used his produce to builds relationship with fellow workers, both Latino or Anglo:
"See with chilies, I take bags to work and there I take out my chilies and if people ask me, "Will you give me one?" I say, "Yes man, take what you want". Yes, every day I have my bag with my chilies or other produce. Look at those tomatatillos! Many people came and took them…"
So this is an important lesson: the meaning of food to those who grow it is much more complex than was initially anticipated. A practitioner or social scientists must develop programs in concert with those meanings, rather than trying to change people's values to fit the values of the market. Secondly, in order to successfully involve underserved groups in mainstream programs, it is important to craft the programs carefully to involve them every step of the way. If the program is worthwhile, members of the dominant group will participate in any case. The Start your own Diversified Farm class at MCC was designed with Latino immigrants in mind and they were recruited heavily. Still, half the class was Anglo because what was being offered was of value to everyone.
The central question this project set for itself was, Can we devise programs that incorporate (Latino) immigrants into all aspects of the food system? The answer is yes, particularly if you listen to them carefully, but it is harder than we initially thought.
