Bucks Professor Publishes Book on William Henry Harrison
Hendrik Booraem V has written Child of the Revolution, his fifth book.
Bucks County Community College professor, author, and scholar Hendrik Booraem V has written Child of the Revolution: William Henry Harrison and His World, 1773-1798.
Published by Kent State University Press, the book touches upon the formative years of the man who became the ninth president of the United States. Booraem spent years studying letters, diaries, documents, and recollections to recreate military life as Lieutenant Harrison experienced it: the food, the uniforms, the hardships, the baffling encounters with the natives, as well as the texture of social relations between officers and men, military and civilians, and men and women.
Booraem, who has written five books, including biographies about Calvin Coolidge, James Garfield, and Andrew Jackson, said he prefers to research the lives of lesser-known presidents.
"Presidents like Washington, Lincoln, and Kennedy have had dozens of good biographers," Booraem explains. "From the standpoint of finding new facts and putting together a more accurate history of a man's early life, there's much more to be gained by studying the ones other biographers have ignored."
Child of the Revolution is available in the College bookstore, open Monday through Friday on the campus at 275 Swamp Rd., Newtown, Pa. For more information, call 215-968-8277.

An on-call firefighter from Young is facing charges over making false Triple-0 fire calls last year.
The firefighter, who was on a fortnightly retainer as well as being paid for hourly work, will also be charged with obtaining a financial advantage by deception.
The 18 year old will face the children's court in his home town after allegedly making calls to Fire and Rescue NSW between July 31 and December 2 when he was 17.
A Fire and Rescue zone commander reported the calls to police, who arrested the man on Wednesday. He was immediately suspended from the service.
According to Fire and Rescue NSW, a retained firefighter is on call 24 hours a day to respond to fire, flood, road traffic accidents or chemical spills.
They are paid a fortnightly retainer payment as well as an hourly rate for their work.
The retainer ranges from $29 for a first-year firefighter to $112 for a captain, and the hourly rate from $29 to $33.
The man was granted bail and will appear before the Young Children's Court on Saturday.

3 Doors Down's Chris Henderson fills us in on the band's recent trip to Dubai:
Is this your first trip to Dubai?
No, we played Dubai back in 2006 as part of the Dubai Desert Rock festival.
If no, what was most memorable about your last trip there and how does this trip compare?
It's amazing to see how much the city has grown. The people are so vibrant and the city reflects that. There's a lot of local culture mixed with this rapid expansion, it's really interesting to see how the country has maintained their identity along the way.
How does the crowd there compare to a U.S. Crowd?
The Dubai crowd may not have the opportunity to see as many rock bands as crowds in the US, so there is some added excitement based on that. The Dubai crowd was amazing. There was a great energy during the show.
What's the coolest thing you've seen/done/bought and eaten while there?
The Burj Khalifa is pretty amazing. It's the world's tallest building. I think it's a little under 1/2 a mile tall. Chet (Roberts 3 Doors Down guitarist) and some of the crew guys went out and suited up in some local fashion, they wore a Ghutrah I believe it was called.
What does world travel do for one's own perspective about the world or about life?
It definitely opens up your perspective to things outside of the US. Once people in other countries find out that you are from the US they will typically want to ask you about your country, and tell you their opinions on it, for better or worse! That's part of the experience though, meeting new people and almost being an ambassador for you country through the band and music. I also love to experience other cultures, and I'm grateful that I've been able to do so while playing music.
Did you get a chance to hear any local music while in Dubai? If yes, what was that like?
Unfortunately no, this show was right in the middle of our current tour with Daughtry, so it was in and out. I love taking in the local culture when I visit a foreign country, but unfortunately there was no time.

Grim and heartrending emergencies confronted the Choctaw Indians as they approached the end of their "trail of tears" to the
West. Baffling situations lurked in the formative days which lay before them and these situations were to challenge their
tireless efforts to accomplish their own destiny as fate had ordained. The difficult processes in the decades following their
removal drew them closer together and finally resulted in a unified constitution in 1860. Then came the Civil War with its
demoralizing consequences, to be succeeded by problems of reconstruction due to the enforced adoption of their former slaves
into tribal membership. The story is long and quite as interesting as though it were fiction. By this time, a new generation
had succeeded the Argonauts of the removal days and to the leaders of this generation was committed the task of adapting these
people for the final abandonment of their tribal life. The allotment days were in the offing, the extinguishment of tribal
government was approaching and a full investiture of American citizenship was at hand. Through these years of discipline,
the tortured soul of the Indian became stimulated to mental activity and the bitter struggle developed those extraordinary
characteristics so essential to leadership during this period of his transition. An understanding appraisal of the concluding
decades of the tribal life of the Choctaw Indians could not be approached without an acquaintance with the McCurtain dynasty
of chieftains. Under the capable leadership of chieftains drawn from the McCurtain family, this powerful tribe was influenced
in an intelligent manner and its membership led securely through the concluding years of their political life until the complete
erasure of their last frontier was witnessed by Green McCurtain, the last elected chieftain of the Choctaw Nation.
The McCurtain family among the Choctaws was, in so far as its white ancestry was concerned, of reputed Scotch-Irish descent.
The original McCurtain immigrant to America may have come from Ulster. The family was one of much importance among the Choctaws
from the early days of the last century. The names of Daniel and Thomas McCurtain are found in the census of 1831 of Green-
Page 298
wood LeFlore District in Mississippi and these two early members, each distinguished by the title "captain" were parties signatory
to the1 Choctaw Treaty of October 18, 1820 at Doak's Stand near the Natchez Road. Capt. Daniel McCurtain also signed the2 Treaty of January 20, 1825 and also the famous removal3 Treaty of September 27, 1830 at Dancing Rabbit Creek, in Mississippi. His name is affixed as an interpreter to the4 Treaty of January 17, 1837 at Doaksville, in the old Indian Territory.
A family tradition, predicted with much certainty, identifies Daniel and Thomas McCurtain as the eldest of a family of ten
brothers, the others being Cornelius, John, Luke, Allen, William, Canada, Samuel and Camper. No records obtain to preserve
the names of the parents and ancestry of these brothers and no record of birth or death is available. Canada, Samuel and Camper
were enrolled as students at the Choctaw Academy in Kentucky, in 1829, which fact would influence the thought that the parents
of these brothers belonged to a more cultural class among the Choctaws. Cornelius had likewise been a student at this academy
a few years earlier.
From the grey shadows of tradition among the Choctaws comes the story of an unattached band of Indians known as the Shak-chi-homas,
led by Cha-la-homa (Red Fox) as chief, with haunts along the banks of the Mississippi in Western Tennessee. The Shak-chi-homas
appear to have entertained but scant regard for the Chickasaws and Choctaws who ranged to the south of this sector, and hunters
and trappers of these tribes were cruelly slain. These killings provoked the massacre of the Shak-chi-homa warriors at their
town near where now stands the city of Memphis, by the Chickasaws and Choctaws, which massacre is reputed to have taken place
shortly before our war of the Revolution. Some 200 women and children were spared and carried away by the Choctaws, but the
Shak-chi-homas as a tribe were completely wiped out. An interesting touch of romance enters the picture in the story of Sho-maka,
a captive maiden of the Shak-chi-homas, who was carried away
Page 299
and adopted by the Choctaws. This Indian girl married a white man by the name of Cole who subsequently escaped from an enforced
residence among the Indians, and became the mother of Robert Cole who was to become a signer of the celebrated removal treaty
and a Choctaw leader of much prominence during that period. Coleman Cole, a son of Robert Cole served as chief of the Choctaws
in 1874-78 and was a very picturesque and interesting character. A daughter of Sho-ma-ka married5 Capt. Daniel McCurtain and another daughter married Garrett E. Nelson, a white man, and became the mother of Mahayia. It
is of much interest to know that Mahayia, a granddaughter of Sho-ma-ka the Shak-chi-homa captive maid, married Cornelius McCurtain
and became the mother of the three celebrated McCurtain chieftains of the Choctaws.6
Page 300
Cornelius McCurtain was born in Mississippi on March 3, 1803 where he was a member of the Lower Town District in the Choctaw
country, presided over by Chief Moshulatubbe. He married Mahayia Nelson and came to the old Indian Territory in 1833 with
one of the numerous removal caravans of the Choctaws and settled at or near Ft. Coffee where he engaged in farming and stockraising.
From those early years the Choctaw domain in the West was divided into three rather semi-independent districts, each presided
over by a duly elected district chief. The first or Moshulatubbe District occupied the northern portion of the Choctaw country.
In 1849, as a member of the Board of Trustees of the First District, Cornelius McCurtain was a factor in the establishment
of neighborhood schools. This modest gesture was the inception of the public school system of the Choctaws in the West. In
the fall of 1849, he was elected chief of the First District, which position he held until the fall of 1854. The National
Council of the Choctaw Nation which convened at7 Nanih Waya, the capital, in October 1850, amended the tribal constitution and effected the removal of the capital to Doaksville,
in the extreme southern portion of the Nation. This action provoked great opposition throughout the First District and Chief
McCurtain and his people declined to recognize all council meetings held at Doaksville by refusing to send representatives.
The Indians were influenced by circumstances affecting their own convenience rather than by reason or foresight and the cleavage
thus created continued throughout the tenure of Chief McCurtain. Upon the expiration of his term as District Chief, McCurtain
was appointed a member of the Board of Commissioners of the Nation to investigate what was termed the orphans' claims. The
concluding reference to Cornelius McCurtain is in the act of November 12, 1856 directing payment to him of certain fees for
services in this orphans' claims matter. He probably died shortly thereafter and is buried in an unknown and unmarked grave
at a place called "The Narrows," some two or three miles northeast of Red Oak in what is now Latimer County, Oklahoma. Mahayia,
his wife, known more intimately as Amy, died in 1869 at Ft. Coffee, expressed a desire to be buried by the side of her husband
but owing to high water in the streams, the effort was abandoned and she
Page 301
also rests in an unknown and unmarked grave on the old George Riddle farm between Wilburton and Red Oak, in what is today,
Latimer County, Oklahoma.
Cornelius and Mahayia McCurtain were the parents of seven children; Jackson Frazier, who became a chief of the Choctaws; Isabelle,
who married George Riddle; Elsie who married George Riddle after the death of Isabelle; David, who was slain by a negro by
the name of Charles Brown in April 1874. The negro was killed within a day or so thereafter by Green McCurtain; Edmund, who
became tribal chief; Green, who also became a tribal chief and Robert who was slain in August 1874 by Henderson Walker, a
son of Ex-Gov. Tandy Walker. This killing occurred at the old Walker home near Skullyville and arose without provocation.
Walker fled from the country but upon his return some three years later, the tragedy was avenged by Jack McCurtain and Henderson
Walker paid the supreme penalty. David and Robert McCurtain are buried in the old cemetery at or near Skullyville, Oklahoma.
It is of interest to note that out of this incident no feud arose between these two outstanding families.
The Choctaw constitution of 1860 wherein features of a tripartite government were carefully preserved, reflected the cumulative
experience of the tribal leaders. The executive, whose title was restored from that of governor to that of principal chief,
was to be elected for a tenure of two years, being ineligible for more than two successive terms. The national council consisted
of two separate branches and the judicial department was composed of a supreme court and inferior district and county courts.
Counties were established as political units and the Choctaw government under this constitution was quite analogous to that
of the states. The national capital was established at Armstrong Academy, known officially as Chahta Tamaha, in 1863.
Rather coincident with the adoption of the new constitution began the public career of8 Jackson Frazier McCurtain, whose initial appearance came with his service as representative from Sugar Loaf County to the
national council in October, 1859. Members of this celebrated family were destined to occupy a most
Page 302
prominent and engaging part in the political affairs of the Choctaw Nation from that time until the conclusion of its political
life. Jackson Frazier McCurtain was born in Mississippi on March 4, 1830 and three years later came with his parents to the
old Indian Territory. Educational advantages during those early years among the Choctaws, were crude and as a consequence,
young McCurtain was limited to a couple of years at Spencer Academy, when about 14 years of age. This school, established
in 1842, was located about nine miles north of Doaksville.
The Choctaws were the first of the Indian tribes in the West to espouse the cause of the Confederacy at the outbreak of the
Civil War and unlike some of the other tribes, were undivided in their preliminary declaration. However, in 1864, with apparent
foresight of eventualities in the possible downfall of the Confederacy, Peter P. Pitchlynn, an open and avowed Union sympathizer,
was chosen chief of the tribe. The influence and shrewd counsel of Chief Pitchlynn accomplished much toward restoring the
status of the Choctaws at the conclusion of the war. Jackson F. McCurtain was a member of the national council when, on June
22, 1861, he enlisted from Sugar Loaf County in the First Regiment of Choctaw and Chickasaw Mounted Rifles and was commissioned
captain of company G in this regiment commanded by Col. Douglas H. Cooper, in the Confederate service. In 1862, he became
lieutenant-colonel of the First Choctaw Battalion and served with distinction until the close of hostilities. The Choctaw
contingent supported the campaign of Gen. Sterling Price in Arkansas and participated in the battle of Poison Springs, in
that state on April 18, 1864. They were also engaged at the battle of Honey Springs, in the Territory on July 17, 1863. Under
date of July 26, 1864, an inspection report of Lt. Col. Jackson McCurtain, made at Double Springs, C. N., contains this significant
conclusion, "Zealous, diligent and attentive to duties. Sober." These remarks by a typical hard boiled army inspector have
much significance in the light of his later career.9
Upon the conclusion of the war, McCurtain returned to his home, "The Narrows," some two or three miles northeast of Red Oak
and in August 1866, was elected senator from Sugar Loaf
Page 303
County, in which position he served continuously, by successive reelections, until February 1880. Chief Garvin, who assumed
the reins of office in October 1878, died before the expiration of his term and was succeeded by Jackson F. McCurtain on February
20, 1880. McCurtain was at that time president pro tem of the senate, and under a constitutional provision, automatically
became tribal chief upon the death of Chief Garvin. In the succeeding August, Chief McCurtain was elected chief by a most
substantial vote and was reelected in August 1882 and thus was enabled to serve his people for two consecutive terms as their
chief in addition to serving out the vacancy occasioned by the death of Chief Garvin. McCurtain was an aggressive character
and accomplished much in establishing a respect for law and its enforcement, among his people, whose respect he enjoyed. It
was during his administration that the troublesome controversy over the freedmen was disposed of and these former slaves were
adopted into tribal membership. Serious distress oppressed the Choctaws in the winter of 1881, occasioned by a complete failure
of crops and in his efforts to relieve the suffering, the chief on his own initiative, expended six thousand dollars of the
tribal monies. This action was approved as "timely and patriotic" by the council when it met in the fall and an appropriation
was authorized to cover the amount so spent. Perhaps the most outstanding event of his administration was the removal of the
national capital from Armstrong Academy to Tuskahoma, in what is today Pushmataha County, Oklahoma. The new and quite ornate
capital building was constructed about a mile and a half northeast of the old Choctaw capitol at Nanih Waya from which the
seat of government had been removed in 1850, which removal had given so much offense to Chief Cornelius McCurtain. Under the
terms of a constitutional amendment promoted by Chief Jackson F. McCurtain and adopted in 1882, the capitol was returned to
the earlier scenes of tribal activity and in the fall of 1884, the national council held its first meeting in the new structure
and the retiring chief delivered his last message to its members. This historic building, slowly yielding to the elements
of time, stands mutely some three miles north of the present town of Tuskahoma, the beautiful prairie valley surrounding it,
is today adorned with comfortable farm homes with sentiments of an early heroic past apparently forgot-
Page 304
ten, but lingering in the background the somber Kiamichis grow lonely and reminiscent as they lift their bared shoulders into
the sky.
At the election held in August 1884 and at which Edmund McCurtain was chosen as the successor of Jackson F. McCurtain, the
latter was elected senator from Wade County, this being the county wherein the capital was located. Upon the election of Jackson
F. McCurtain as chief in 1880, he resided at The Narrows, but in the following year removed to the old Zadoc Harrison place
south of Antlers.10 The removal to the extreme south of the Nation was influenced by the many threats made against his life, because of his vigorous
policy in removing the white intruders from the Nation in 1881. These were the years when the militant Judge Isaac Parker
occupied the Federal bench at Ft. Smith and exercised complete and final jurisdiction over the white intruders and renegades
in the old Indian Territory. A vile and vicious condition was provoked throughout the Territory, by the advent of refugees
from the states, crime was rampant and human life unsafe. Chief McCurtain with the assistance of Federal troops and the backing
of Judge Parker undertook to drive these forces from the Nation and for his efforts was commended by Judge Parker. In 1883,
the chief established his home near Tuskahoma, the new capital, where he died on November 14, 1885. He rests in the old cemetery
east of the old capitol buildng, where his grave is suitably marked.
Chief McCurtain was married twice, his first wife being Marie Riley, a sister of Judge James Riley and after her death, he
married Jane Frances Austin on November 28, 1865, who survived him and died on October 27, 1925 and is buried in the old cemetery
at Tuskahoma. She was a lady of splendid attainments and served as a private secretary to the celebrated chief during his
encumbency. She was a Penelope of wifely devotion to her distinguished husband in his life time and to his memory after he
was gone.
Page 305
Chief Jackson Frazier McCurtain was a character of outstanding ability and possessed unusual qualities of leadership. The
quarter of a century of his public life among the Choctaws, covers a period of their greatest distresses. It was the rehabilitation
years for them following the Civil War. Jack McCurtain closed the reconstruction days in the Choctaw Nation by granting to
the freedman the rights of citizenship, and the last hangover controversy from that unfortunate struggle became a closed chapter.
His progressive notions are reflected in the charter of the Frisco Railroad through the Nation from Ft. Smith to Paris, Texas,
which was accomplished through his efforts. It was during his regime that the menace of the white non-citizenship population
began to assume alarming proportions, not so much from numbers as from the contempt and disregard for the tribal authority
evidenced by this class. The chief, with the aid of Federal troops met the challenge of this defiant class and forcibly ejected
them from the Nation. Chief McCurtain was unafraid in his defense of the rights and immunities of his people. No one ever
bought, bulldozed or bluffed Jackson Frazier McCurtain.
The Choctaw electorate at the August election in 1884, selected Edmund McCurtain, a younger brother of the retiring chief,
as chief of the Nation for the ensuing term.11 Edmund McCurtain was born at Ft. Coffee, in the old Indian Territory, on June 4, 1842 and attended the neighborhood schools
until he was 17 years old. He was but a lad of 19 years when he enlisted for service in the Confederate army, on June 22,
1861 from Sugar Loaf County, in the First Regiment of Choctaw and Chickasaw Mounted Rifles in company G and was commissioned
2nd Lieutenant. His celebrated brother Jackson was the captain of this company. Edmund McCurtain served faithfully and with
credit during the period of the war.
Upon the conclusion of his military service, Edmund McCurtain established his home at Sans Bois, in what is now Haskell County,
Oklahoma. The chief claims for distinction of Mr. McCurtain lay in his persistent and most effective interest in the matter
of education among his people. In 1866, he was County
Page 306
Judge of Sans Bois County; in 1872, he was Trustee of Schools for the Moshulatubbe District and in 1876 he was a representative
to the National Council from Sans Bois County. During the years when his brother was chief of the Nation, Edmund was Superintendent
of Education for the tribe and rendered a most effective service in procuring tribal appropriations to enable the education
of the young people of the tribe at higher institutions of learning in the states. At that time there were no colleges or
universities within the Indian Territory, but it is to the great credit of Edmund McCurtain that many of the Choctaw youth
were sent to Eastern and Northern institutions at the expense of the Choctaw government, to complete their education—some
were sent to Harvard and Yale. One may not overestimate the enduring service of this Indian leader to his people in the matter
of their education.
Edmund McCurtain made a most capable public official, but was over-shadowed by the greater statesmanship of his more celebrated
brother. Upon the expiration of his term as chief, he declined to submit his candidacy for reelection but supported the candidacy
of Thompson McKinney who was elected. He was elected senator from Sans Bois County in August 1888 and also served as a member
of an adjustment committee designated to settle certain fees growing out of the old Net Proceeds matter.
Edmund McCurtain married Susan King in 1862 and after her death, married Harriet Austin in 1876. She was a sister of Jane
Austin, the second wife of Chief Jackson F. McCurtain. Upon the death of the second wife, he married Clarissa Le Flore, a
daughter of Isaac Le Flore, in 1881. He died at Skullyville, while en route to his home at Sans Bois from attendance at a
meeting of the national council, on November 9, 1890 and is buried there where his grave is carefully marked. The splendid
traditions of the McCurtain family lost nothing by the public service of Edmund McCurtain, its modest and retiring but inflexibly
honest tribal chief.
The uneventful term of Edmund McCurtain as tribal chieftain came to its close in October 1886 but the ensuing decade was to
present perplexities in the political and economic life of the Choctaw Indians, which defy disposition in one gesture. The
old order of things was beginning to slip and the struggle to hold fast to
Page 307
"life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" as the Indian understood those terms, was rapidly losing ground. There had been,
unrecognized by the Indians, sure and certain evolutionary processes at work among them for years which were to conclude the
final absorption of these people into American life. The rank and file and many of their leaders were unable or unwilling
to appreciate how utterly untenable these quasi-independent political units were in the midst of American life. The absurdity
of the situation did not appear to the Indian. Among the Choctaws, the unchecked influx of white settlers had assumed abnormal
proportions and evidences of their influence were becoming apparent. The full blood Indians were in a minority in numbers.
The specter of the allotment of their tribal domain and the abolishment of their tribal government again haunted the Indians
when Congress created the famous Dawes Commission by the Act of March 3, 1893. The newly created commission contacted Chief
Gardner and the Choctaw council in 1894 and in 1895 but were met by a most vigorous opposition to all suggestions of allotment.
Sentiment throughout the Nation was openly antagonistic and no effort was spared to defeat the initial endeavors of the Dawes
Commission to effectuate the closing out of the affairs of the Five Tribes. The crisis created by this posture of affairs
challenged the more conservative leadership of the tribe and it is at this extremity that, Green McCurtain enters the picture,
and rendered a constructive service of inestimable value.
Green, or possibly Greenwood, McCurtain, a younger brother of Chiefs Jackson Frazier and Edmund McCurtain, was born at or
near the town of Skullyville in the old Indian Territory on November 28, 1848. His educational advantages were limited to
the neighborhood common schools. He served as sheriff of Skullyville County for one term beginning in 1872 and for three terms
as representative to the National Council, being for the years 1874 to 1880 inclusive. From 1880 to 1884, he was trustee of
schools for the First or Moshulatubbe District, thereafter becoming district attorney for that district. In August 1888, he
was elected national treasurer, to which position he was reelected in 1890. At the expiration of his terms as treasurer, he
was chosen to the senate in 1893 for a two year term. During his tenure as national treasurer, it fell to his lot as such
official to receive and
Page 308
disburse among the tribal members, a vast sum of money, far in excess of the statutory bond of $20,000 which he had given
as national treasurer. His service as such officer was of the highest character and these monies, being the so-called Leased
Land Payment, were disbursed in a per capita payment of $103 to the tribal membership by its efficient treasurer. This incident
served to impress his people with the staunch character and high integrity of Green McCurtain and enabled him to regiment
them to a sane course in the allotment days which were just ahead.
The foregoing service predicated the more important efforts which were to be forthcoming and afforded much necessary experience
in political affairs. Political parties among the Choctaws were unknown until about 1890. Green McCurtain became a politician
and marshaled his experience, acquaintance, power of office, splendid personal ability and the great prestige of the McCurtain
family to which he had fallen heir, behind the Progressive Party and Wilson N. Jones, its candidate for chief in 1890. The
opposing party was known as the National Party. Through some irregularity, Jefferson Gardner was the candidate of the Progressive
Party for chief in 1894, had the McCurtain support and was elected. During Gardner's regime, Green McCurtain was an influential
member of the senate and by reason of party affiliations, should have stood in a strong relation to the chief, but such does
not appear to have been the situation. Green McCurtain had been in Washington as one of the Choctaw delegates, in February
1893, when the contemplated Dawes Commission legislation was before Congress. He had obtained at first hand, accurate and
intelligent information as to the purposes in contemplation by the administration in relation to winding up tribal affairs
in the Indian Territory. Having this more detailed information, McCurtain joined issue with Chief Gardner who was extremely
antagonistic to the allotment policy of the government, and counselled efforts to reach an adjustment of differences with
the Dawes Commission. The council, to which he addressed himself declined to approve his suggestions, but his effort had provoked
much discussion throughout the tribe. Meetings were held, at various localities and were addressed by McCurtain, in an effort
to bring his people to a sense of their danger unless the policy of the government was recognized and some gesture toward
a com-
Page 309
promise was made. A delegate convention was held at Tuskahoma on January 23, 1896, addressed by Green McCurtain but which
accomplished nothing, due largely to what had now become the passive opposition of Chief Gardner who declined to make any
overtures. He refused to summon a special session of the council to consider the matter.
In the midst of this chaos, approached the national election of 1896 with its preliminary campaign features. The leaders who
favored a recognition of the Dawes Commission and the making of some sort of an agreement with them, formed a new party called
the Tuskahoma Party and named Green McCurtain as its candidate for chief. Fortunately, the opposition was split up into three
factions, the Independent-Nationals, with Chief Gardner, Full blood Nationals with Jacob B. Jackson and the old Progressive
Party with Gilbert W. Dukes. McCurtain was elected but the combined opposition cast a majority of the votes.
In October 1896, Green McCurtain became chief of the Choctaws and the tribal government was committed to the allotment in
severalty of the tribal domain and a policy which was ultimately to lead to the extinguishment of the political status of
the tribe. A majority of the council were of the Tuskahoma Party, and with this backing the new chief took vigorous steps
to accomplish an adjustment of the allotment matter with the commission. With marked rapidity, he moved from one conference
to another and placed the Choctaws in the position of advantage of being the first of the five tribes to reach an agreement
with the commission. This was the so-called Atoka Agreement of April 23, 1897, embodied as Section 29 of the Curtis Act of
June 28, 1898 and approved by a vote of the members of the tribe. This fact evidences two actualities, first, that through
his matchless courage and marked ability, Chief McCurtain had broken down the most persistent opposition and converted his
people to the wisdom of his policy, and second, that the Choctaw people had great confidence in his judgment and integrity.
The Atoka Agreement remained an issue in the campaign of 1898, but Chief McCurtain was easily reelected with a safe majority
in the national council to support him. The second term was rather uneventful and at the election held in August 1900,
Page 310
Chief McCurtain being ineligible for another reelection, sponsored the candidacy of Gilbert W. Dukes, the candidate of the
Tuskahoma Party who was elected. The main event of the term of Chief Dukes, was the negotiation and subsequent campaign for
the ratification of the so-called Supplemental Agreement. This agreement was actively supported by McCurtain and was ratified
by an overwhelming vote on September 25, 1902. This agreement lingered as an issue in the campaign in the fall of 1902 wherein
McCurtain again secured the nomination of the Tuskahoma Party and was again chosen chief of the tribe. The campaign was quite
bitter and Chief Dukes bolted his party and supported Thomas W. Hunter who opposed the Supplemental Agreement. The decision
was close and Chief Dukes attempted, by force, to foreclose the efforts of McCurtain to take over the reins of government.
The United States Indian Agent and Federal troops from Ft. Reno were called upon to protect the judges who canvassed the final
returns which gave the decision in favor of McCurtain by a large majority. After considerable maneuvering, the opposition
melted away and the orderly processes were respected. The election of August 1902 was the last general election held in the
Choctaw Nation and Chief Green McCurtain was its last elected chieftain. The district and county governments were liquidated
and wholly ceased to function after 1906. The other departments of the tribal government gradually ceased, but the power of
the chief seemed to grow in importance as details affecting citizenship rolls, allotment deeds and individual disbursements
were presented. Many complicated interests demanded his executive direction and rendered his continued service of inestimable
value to the officers of the government. He was called to Washington upon repeated occasions by the authorities of the Interior
Department. Green McCurtain was a great executive, a wonderful administrator and the outstanding leader among his people.
He remained the chieftain of the Choctaws until his death.
In his very early life, Green McCurtain had engaged in the mercantile business. He later became interested in the cattle business,
but his profession was the law. He was a most eloquent and fluent speaker, but always used the Choctaw language in his addresses.
He spoke the English in conversation. He was a man of fine physical proportions, standing six feet and two inches and
Page 311
with a normal weight of two hundred and twenty pounds. Chief McCurtain was married twice, his first wife being Martha A. Ainsworth,
from whom he became separated later, and second, Kate Spring, a daughter of John and Sallie (Anderson) Spring. She died May
15, 1934 at the advanced age of 79 years. He is enrolled opposite roll number 8535 on the Choctaw rolls as shown by census
card number 2901.
Green McCurtain, the last of the McCurtain dynasty among the Choctaws, the last of the Shak-chi-homa chiefs of that tribe
and the last elected chieftain of this historic tribe of Indians, passed away at his home at Kinta, in Haskell County, Oklahoma,
on December 27, 1910 and is buried at his old home at Sans Bois, some five miles east of Kinta, where his last resting place
is marked by an enduring monument provided by the Choctaws.
In his comfortable law office at Poteau, Oklahoma, sits David Cornelius McCurtain, eldest son and child of Green McCurtain
and Martha A., his wife. This son of the illustrious chieftain was born at Skullyville, Oklahoma, on January 29, 1873. He
was educated in the common schools in the old Indian Territory and later in September 1890 enrolled at Roanoke College, at
Salem, Virginia, and at Kemper Military School, at Booneville, Missouri in September 1892. He entered in his law course at
Missouri State University in September 1895 and at the Columbian, now George Washington University at Washington, D. C. in
the fall of 1901. He was admitted to the Choctaw bar in 1898 and before Judge W. H. H. Clayton in 1903. In 1896, he was appointed
clerk of the district court of Moshulatubbe District by Judge N. J. Holson which position he held until elected district attorney
of that district in 1898, being reelected in 1900. He was appointed a delegate from the Choctaw Nation to Washington, in 1901,
in which capacity he served until he resigned to accept the appointment of Choctaw Attorney in 1907. This position, he held
until 1912. During these years, he had established his residence at McAlester, Oklahoma, and was named mayor of that city
in 1913. He later removed to Poteau, to the historic scenes of his brave Choctaw ancestry and resumed the general practice
of his profession. The good people of Le Flore County, have honored him upon repeated occasions. He was elected County Attorney
of that county in 1918 and reelected in 1920. Upon the
Page 312
expiration of his second term, he was elected county judge and reelected. In January 1925, he was named by Governor Trapp,
as district judge of the 5th judicial district and was twice thereafter to be reelected, occupying the position for ten years.
D. C. McCurtain has been one of the outstanding attorneys of Eastern Oklahoma, both before and since statehood. During his
tenure as tribal attorney, he was privileged to aid by his effort in the settlement of many of the much controverted questions
of law in the new Indian country. These questions are now quite academic, but made so through the tireless efforts of attorneys
of the character and ability of Judge McCurtain.
He was married to Kate N. Mitchell on June 5, 1895, his second marriage being to Kate H. Partridge, a widowed daughter of
the late Capt. C. C. Mathies, on November 12, 1921. He has a family of four living children, two of whom are sons, so the
McCurtain dynasty will probably continue.
Judge McCurtain is a member of the Methodist Church and a 32 degree mason. He is a gentleman of integrity, a good lawyer,
a fine citizen and highly respected and loved by those who know him.
The thoughtful student of Choctaw Indian history, will readily appreciate how incomplete will be his research of the annals
of that powerful tribe without paying a respectful homage to the celebrated McCurtain chieftains.

Sports only started to gain mass appeal in the 20th century, when they replaced our old national pastime––collecting pathogenic bacteria in our intestines. Get in the game with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $99 for a 30-minute flyboarding adventure for one (a $200 value)
- $189 for a 30-minute flyboarding adventure for two (a $400 value)
Certified instructors teach riders how to balance a jet-powered flyboard above the water. Each half-hour session includes a wetsuit and helmet.
Fly Bros.
Though Jason and Joshua Bruner can't walk on water, they do have the ability to fly above it without anything even resembling wings. From their outpost just off the shore of Lake Ivanhoe, the Bruner brothers––or, as they've come to be known, the Fly Bros.––are sharing the modern sport of flyboarding. The certified instructors begin each session by getting students laced into boots that attach to the flyboard (similar to a snowboard), and then towing them out into the water via a Jet Ski. The board is attached to a long hose that draws water out of the lake and propels it powerfully through two tailpipes under the board, launching riders into flight. Beginners hover excitedly as they find their balance, and more seasoned boarders ride the air as if it were an invisible wave or moving walkway. Each 30- or 60-minute session includes rental of a wetsuit and helmet, and the brothers also host private flyboarding parties for groups.

I find it to be slightly slower than a paper book when I'm flipping through page after page, but if I can use a ToC or index to find the key page I want, then it usually seems a bit faster. Also, if I have something important pre-marked for later attention, then I have probably bookmarked it, which is even faster.
2. E-ink limits it to that one purpose, I'd rather have a multimedia LCD (or some future color screen technology) or....
And that's fine. It's a personal opinion that I don't share. As I mentioned a couple posts ago, my Droid fulfills that function as much as I need (although it is a little small for any extended online text reading). I spend far too much of my time watching tv or internet now and often feel like I'm shirking my responsibilities to do so. I need to be able to get away from the pull of message boards and You Tube and such to write.
If I wanted to go the route you're suggesting, I would actually prefer to have an "Apple iSlate" style device with a built-in cell phone & Bluetooth so that I can link an earpiece to it. But I don't see
anywhere on the horizon.
3. It would have to be a lot less that $859. I'd consider something like the DR1000 or the forthcoming Plastic Logic Que. But only for $300 or so tops as that's about as high as I'd pay for something to use solely for my academic reading--which is just a few hours a month. Paper will suffice until prices come way down, or there's some nice multimedia tablets out that do a great job on that and can also be my main "browse the web on the couch" machine etc.
I heard about the Plastic Logic device well over a year ago, months before I bought my DR, and I'm still hearing about it's just about to come out any day now. And that's fine, but you notice that with the KDX that cut rate price came with cut rate abilities.

Workers at Ford's Broadmeadows factory in Melbourne fear it faces an uncertain future at best or is on a slow path to closure at worst.
Only a few employees were at work on Monday because production is on hold this week as the car maker prepares to downsize its operations at the plant.
Ford announced in July it would cut 440 jobs from its Geelong and Broadmeadows factories because of declining Australian car sales and the high dollar.
This week, changes were being made to the production line before the 200 job losses at Broadmeadows that are expected to be made in November.
Assembly line worker Bandule, who did not want his last name printed, has worked for Ford for 16 years and said there were "rumours circulating", but his future and those of his workmates was "not clear".
He expected the company would continue its operations in Australia for the next two years but after that he was "not sure".
"It's a little bit of a concern," he said.
"Not much has been announced."
Another employee, who did not want his name published for fear of losing his job, said it was hard to plan for the future when in a month's time he might not have work.
The employee, who has worked for Ford for 19 years, said the car manufacturer did not have a future locally.
"At this time, most cars that are sold by Ford in Australia are made overseas," he said. "I don't know what will happen after 2016."
He did not think the government assistance was for the company to build a new model.
"They're closing us down slowly," he said.
"It's so we can carry on for a few more years, exit slowly but keep the brand. At the end of the day it's all about money and the numbers."
The employee said he felt like he had a "knife hanging over his head" waiting to know if he was going to be made redundant in November.
"You don't know who is going to get the tap," he said.
"Once they put the voluntaries [voluntary redundancies] up, there is not choice. It could be you who gets the golden handshake. You have no control."
The employee said the majority of workers at the plant felt the same way and the mood at the site was one of "worry".
"It's not just myself, no one is secure," he said.
"You can't plan for what is even happening in a month's time."
Harry Poltis has worked for Ford for 24 years and said he did not know who was "coming or going".

text: Majoring In Success: Understanding Where Your Major Can Take You October 05, 2011 General By Brian Bellows There are many aspects to selecting a major that can help to ensure success upon graduation. Some students pick a major and may not have a clearly defined vision of where they want to take their career. Some of the primary ones that students have found help with exploration and success in one's major include researching the industries that typically hire your degree, networking functions, and ways to bolster your resume for that industry when applying for jobs in your chosen profession. By actively exploring the success strategies that other students have utilized to succeed, you will be able to put together your own map of what success looks like. It is important to actively learn about the industry that you are looking to be employed in and the paths that individuals take in industry to arrive at their chosen profession. Frequently with a degree, there are multiple areas that students can explore and there is frequently diversity in career paths. You as a student may envision yourself in a managerial role, but if you do not have experience it may be necessary to start off in an entry-level position and work yourself up to a managerial role (Loretto, 2011). That is why it is important to understand the growth paths in a given profession and the different areas of entry into a corporation. For example, if you have a degree in accounting there are different types of accounting that may include tax as well as managerial accounting. By looking at the different aspects of your major you can begin to prepare yourself to follow your passion and begin the necessary preparation (Loretto, 2011). For some majors, pursuing internships can help to quickly improve professional qualifications. An internship can give students valuable experience. Some internships are paid whereas others are unpaid. A great place to look for internships can be a professional organization. Many majors have professional organizations that have chapters which can also look good on a resume and give powerful networking links (Doyle, n.d.). Look to see if there are professional organizations that you can join which will enhance your resume and career experience. By understanding your chosen career path, you can establish valuable networking opportunities beforehand.

I have spoken with Ken H. about getting together over coffee to apologize to him

for my overreacting and shattering of his reputation. I know what it feels like to

be in his shoes, and I plan on practicing nonviolent communication with him.

We both agree that we don't want him to wind up in prison again, and that

he has the tenacity to make up for his unexcellence in the past outside/inside

of the space, by going forward and being excellent to one another inside of the space.

I plan on voicing my support for him to be allowed to come back to Noisebridge

and I will gladly back that decision, considering it was my drama to begin with,

via VoIP at one of the Tuesday meetings or in a month, depending on how

soon he wants to return.

O FYI he is currently in AA and NA and working on his drug/alcohol abuse, and

I've proposed we both become "accountabilibuddies". He seems to be a really

nice guy that's in a really rough spot.

House deliberates vehicle simulator project: Official
Hans Nicholas Jong
The Jakarta Post
A Finance Ministry official said the House of Representatives and the National Police had discussed the budget allocation for the vehicle simulator project, which is believed to be rife with corruption.
The ministry's budgeting directorate general, Herry Purnomo, made the statement following his questioning as a witness in the case by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Friday.
Herry said the budget for the project was revised following its deliberation by the National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas) and the House. 'It was included in the 2011 revised state budget [APBNP],' he told reporters at the KPK headquarters in Kuningan, South Jakarta.
His statement contradicted claims made by several legislators who said the project was never discussed in the House as it was funded by non-tax state revenue.
The lawmakers used that argument to refute an allegation that they were involved in the graft case surrounding the project.
The allegation came from former Democratic Party treasurer Muhammad Nazaruddin, who claimed that lawmakers from the Golkar Party, the Democratic Party and the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) received a total of Rp 10 billion from the police in return for allocating certain sums from the state budget to the vehicle simulator project.
The Democrats and Golkar reportedly each accepted Rp 4 billion, while the PDI-P accepted Rp 2 billion in bribes.
Two of Nazaruddin's companies took part in the bidding process but lost to PT Citra Mandiri Metalindo Abadi (CMMA) which belonged to Budi Susanto. Budi has been named a suspect in the graft case.
Following the accusation, the KPK summoned five lawmakers, Bambang Soesatyo and Aziz Syamsuddin of the Golkar, Herman Hery of the PDI-P and Benny Kabur Harman and Dasrul Djabar of the Democrats, all members of House Commission III on legal affairs, as witnesses in the case.
They have dismissed Nazaruddin's claims as baseless.
Herry said the Finance Ministry did not find any irregularities in the budget proposal of the Rp 200 billion (US$20.5 million) project. 'We could not check the project in detail. The proposal already had a statement from Korlantas that it held full responsibility and that the price had been correctly calculated,' he said.
Herry added that the ministry only found out there were irregularities in the specifications mentioned in the proposal after the KPK investigated the case. 'We did not go that far [in evaluating the proposal],' he said. 'We did not see any markup in the budget [when we saw the proposal].'
The KPK has named several people in the case, including former Korlantas chief Insp. Djoko Susilo, who is currently standing trial for his involvement.
KPK prosecutors said while reading Djoko's indictment that the top police general cooperated with construction companies working on the project to mark up the budget by including unnecessary components and increasing the prices of components.
The markup caused the budget to balloon from Rp 98 billion to Rp 200 billion, which then caused state losses of Rp 145 billion, the prosecutors said.

Krull is an ambitious fantasy adventure that throws a slew of familiar staples into a well trodden tale. But what it lacks in originality Krull makes up in style and spirit. Ken Marshall plays Colwyn, a young prince who must rescue his bride-to-be from a galactic Beast. Marshall brings a little Errol Flynn to the role, but the screenplay remains too superficially archetypal for any truly memorable characters to develop.
The cast also includes Liam Neeson and Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid from the Harry Potter films) in early film roles, as well as eccentric British actor Freddie Jones, and the lovely Francesca Annis as the doomed Widow of the Web (one of my favorite parts of the movie).
Krull excels in its aesthetic accomplishments. The sets and wardrobes are bold and original in their design, and James Horner serves up the best score in his entire career. The visual effects are also pretty impressive for a fantasy film from the pre-digital era.

Midvale » Let's begin with the adage: "Never judge a book by its cover." If people did, especially people who love food, chances are we'd be missing out on a great deal of gustatory adventures. The ones where on the way to work we spot an unassuming stand-alone structure with a hand-hewn sign that might have some of the best handmade Mexican around. And especially the ones filed within the countless strip malls, holding any number of cuisines, Thai, or maybe even Japanese.
If we judged a place like Sushi in Joy, we'd be skeptical of a place that served sushi in the middle of Midvale. We'd cautiously eye the longish menu of mostly rolls and wonder why it isn't as full as other places in the city that offer sushi at comparable prices.
For the serious sushi lover, these are legitimate concerns in light of the world-class sushi available in downtown Salt Lake City. For the casual sushi fan, it's something to consider when forking over a good deal of the monthly budget to satisfy that sashimi craving. In either case, I say that Sushi in Joy gives us reason to shed the geographic and aesthetic prejudice. It's a good place to eat sushi, whether it be a red bull roll (shrimp tempura, fried jalapeño, spicy tuna, $12), briny mackerel nigiri ($4.50) or hamachi sashimi ($11-$35, depending on number of slices), and the setting -- complete with seaside motifs, Japanese kitana swords -- is welcoming to those who partake in raw fish goodness, or not.
Looking below Sushi in Joy's cover, the pages are written and spoken in a polyglot dialog. A Japanese-focused menu, the Korean owners who speak good enough English to coax you to try the appealingly intense and ice cold "cinnamon punch" ($1.50) and place orders with the sushi chefs who hold court at the L-shaped bar at the back of the room.
English is what's spoken when there's a dispute on what exactly goes on a dish. The chefs banter between themselves in Japanese and whenever a soft-shell crab needs to be fried for a spider roll ($7), the Japanese sushi chefs bellow out kitchen Spanish through a small window into the prep kitchen. The soundtrack for the evening: A not too loud stream of Korean pop music ("K-Pop" to the music savvy).
Sushi in Joy's selection and vibe reminds me of the places in Los Angeles or suburban branches of the Bay Area where my parents liked to eat. They were low-key, clean, friendly and affordable.
Whether or not this restaurant and others like it are indicators of Salt Lake City's growing status in diversity (ethnically and culinarily) remains to be seen. But it's pretty cool to be part of a dining crowd that's as eclectic as the menu -- couples of all shapes, sizes and sushi expertise, along with a trio of construction workers who sampled a procession of rolls with constantly re-filled glasses of Diet Coke.
Most folks reveled in the flat screen TV on the east wall with the latest NBA scores.
Rolls comprise the bulk of the restaurant's menu; most involve some manner of cooked component and many are too sweet for my tastes. Their names run from the quirky -- a way too sweet sushi vampire (crab, shrimp tempura, cucumber, avocado, topped with baked lobster and eel sauce, $12.50) -- to the poetic -- white or summer dragon ($12, $11.50).
With all the tempura-gilded, eel sauce-slicked sushi rolls in the world (and especially here), the cherry blossom roll ($12) is a relatively simple one. From the formidable house list of rolls, it stands out in description: pale green avocado and coral pink salmon, topped with deep red tuna and glistening tobiko . On the plate it's as well composed as an Asian watercolor. The teardrop-shaped roll is sliced and arranged so that the tapered ends meet in the center evoking a flower complete with a deep green leaf.
The prawn king appetizer ($6.50) came out of the kitchen just as composed, with three, lightly fried shrimp glossed with a mayo-based sauce that wasn't too sweet. The shrimp wasn't of the highest quality, probably frozen, but nevertheless the complete package was appealing. Mussel shooters ($4.50) offered a tangy counterpoint with tender chunks of shellfish and an oozing quail egg topper.
Sushi wise, it's consistent with good rice (a fundamental of nigiri and the like). But, if there's one complaint about the sushi it isn't necessarily the quality of the fish. Every sliver was fresh, without a trace of suspect odor. But sometimes, they came without a trace of flavor. The maguro nigiri (tuna, $4.50) for instance was rich and soft on the palate but lacked its characteristic deep, meaty flavor.
The cherry blossom roll on one night was a little too simple during one dinner, delivering a monotone flavor to an otherwise Technicolor dish.
Some things may be lost in translation, but Sushi in Joy offers a bit of an adventure when you find yourself in the middle of a strip mall jungle. Between the pages of its expansive menu, there's usually something appealing in this polyglot sushi hub.

Supply Chain Visibility
Challenges and Solutions
To reduce inventories, optimize networks, and mitigate risk, global supply chain teams need near real-time visibility into the status of orders and shipments. With today's international shipments costing twice as much, taking five times as long and having five times more variability than a domestic shipment, global supply chain visibility is an imperative (source: Aberdeen Research). However, supply chain visibility is complicated by today's global trading systems, which have different infrastructures, data definitions, and message formats. It can be difficult to receive and interpret status updates from numerous carriers, brokers, and freight forwarders to gain a comprehensive picture and assess performance and bottlenecks. Without this big picture, it becomes nearly impossible to implement cost-saving strategies, such as just-in-time inventory replenishment. When delivery windows are tight, even minor missteps and miscalculations can have major cost and service level consequences.
Our Supply Chain Visibility solution provides the ability to:
- Provide multi-mode supply chain visibility functionality that connects importers and exporters with their overseas suppliers, logistics providers, brokers, and carriers
- Build a global trading network with pre-established connectivity to hundreds of trading partners
- Enable supply chain partners to share information, distribute reports, and receive alerts on milestones that are critical to the timely delivery of goods
To reduce inventory carrying costs and improve supply chain efficiencies, you need accurate analytics to reduce variability and eliminate dwell time. To optimize trade lane performance, you also need accurate visibility into individual order and shipment status.
Amber Road's multimodal logistics solution provides a range of capabilities to identify and remove inefficiencies resulting in shorter cycle times and less variability, helping companies reduce transportation costs, while improving service levels and transit times.
"Companies have realized that many of the benefits derived from their finely optimized domestic supply chains are being cancelled out by their poorly performing global supply chain."

Speaking at his weekly Monday press luncheon, the Kentucky head coach said he liked the effort he saw last Thursday in a hard-fought 28-22 loss at Mississippi State, but he isn't always seeing the kind of toughness – both mental and physical – that is required to get the UK program on the winning track.
Kentucky (1-6, 0-4 SEC) is riding a five-game losing streak into this week's non-conference Homecoming matchup with Alabama State.
"After going back and watching the Mississippi State game, I thought we did some very good things in that game, gave ourselves an opportunity to win the game," Stoops said. "I felt like our players competed extremely hard. We need to be a smarter football team. We're not very smart at times, and we need to execute in critical situations."
The Wildcats had several mental lapses in Starkville that hurt their chances of ending an SEC losing skid which now stands at 12. A blown coverage on Mississippi State's first possession yielded a 60-yard touchdown pass. Failure to recognize where the first-down marker was cost the offense a first down that would have kept the chains moving on a drive that ended without points. Another breakdown in pass defense allowed a key third-down conversion late in the game. But the most glaring self-inflicted wound occurred when Daron Blaylock was caught offside during a successful onside kick after UK had trimmed the Bulldogs' lead to 21-19 in the third quarter and had a wealth of momentum behind it.
It was a mental error that had Stoops steaming all weekend.
"I thought we gave ourselves another opportunity to win the game last week with a special teams play," he said. "Coach Peev (Bradley Dale Peveto) had it set up; he worked it all week. It's a game changer, and we're 6 inches offsides, for no reason. I addressed it personally on Thursday and Friday. That's not very smart.
"We need to execute better and we need to play smarter. Those are things we can control. And that's what's so frustrating… We've got to make our players and hold our players accountable to what they do."
Stoops acknowledged that being mentally tough can be difficult when most of the players in the program have not experienced much winning during their time at UK.
"The fact that we're losing games and have been a part of a losing culture does rub off on you, and that's where we've got to do a better job, and I've got to do a better job to get them to understand and believe that we can do better and there's things we can control," he said.
"I think we all see us resembling a good football team from time to time, but that's not going to cut it and win you a lot of games in the SEC. You've got to be good top to bottom, and you've got to be good in critical situations, and most importantly when you're under pressure situations, our habits, bad habits, come right to the surface."
The good news, Stoops added, was that he can see how much the mistakes bother his players.
"The more you invest, the more it should hurt, and I think our team is starting to hurt," he said. "They're starting to understand that we can do this. If we, again, just do some things better, control the things we can control, and execute in some critical situations. I think they see us again, they see us looking like an SEC football team at times. We're just not consistent."
The UK boss is also challenging his players to display more toughness when it comes to overcoming physical pain. He pointed to performances by Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel and South Carolina's Connor Shaw, who both played through injuries last weekend to lead their teams to victory.
"People rally around that," Stoops said.
Stoops was careful not to indict any specific player when asked if the comments were directed toward UK's banged-up quarterback situation.
"You know, that's a fine line," he said. "I don't ever tell players (whether they are healthy enough to play) – that's the medical people's decision. But if somebody is sore, then yeah, I'm going to challenge them… We have to learn to differentiate between being injured and just being a little bit banged up. That's for the players and for the trainers to decide. But if they can go, they need to go."
Stoops praised players like Jason Hatcher, Blake McClain, Bud Dupree and Ashely Lowery, who have all played through less-than-ideal health this season on the UK defense.
Dupree overcame lingering ankle issues to record a game-high 13 tackles against Mississippi State.
"Bud is not 100 percent," Stoops said. "Bud goes out and has 13 tackles, plays his tail off, gives unbelievable effort, unbelievable leadership. We need Bud out there, and Bud showed me that. He's not feeling great, and went out and played one of his best games ever. Hopefully that'll get contagious.
"I think that toughness comes from a culture, and we're trying to build it. I don't think we're there yet, but we're going to get there. I can promise you."

Through the Camera Eye
What my dream job would be is to explore different cultures and meet people from all over the world while working towards achieving equal representation of women in mass media. Visual media, be it photography or cinematography, is considered one of the most powerful mediums in communications and can be utilized as a means for change, however it's important to note that women continue to be represented as sexual objects and second-class citizens. Examining history will show that women are catalysts to solving many of the world's problems because it is those problems that affects us the greatest. When women have babies, they're subjected to conditions of poverty and our planet's issue of overpopulation is in direct correlation of outdated cultural practices and policies on birth control. By educating and empowering women we begin the shift towards undoing the damage caused by these world issues.
I have currently embarked on a new journey, alongside my husband, to begin my path to becoming a Cinematographer with a Minor in Women and Gender Studies. I would apply my knowledge of Women & Gender Studies to the medium of film and photography to shift attitudes of how women are represented in media.
Our combined knowledge will provide me with a clear path of WHERE to go to begin shifting this paradigm. In 10 years I envision myself as part of a team with my husband traveling the world, creating films to educate people on such issues, through an educated and anthropological scope.

One result of my using this site for software experimentation is that you will see things changing here from time to time. When I think of a new web gadget to write I will put it on here to test it. If you're visiting the site and see something new I hope you will help me by trying it out and letting me know how well it works for you.
I have been interested in writing for quite a long time and several of my
were started several years ago. Sometimes I work on writing for several days straight and then I take some time off from that and work on something else. Then when the mood for writing returns I come back to it and resume where I left off.
Usually I write a story in the same way that I write a computer program, which is mostly by accretion. I start out with something small and then add on to it over time. This has the advantage of keeping thing pretty stable over time without having to develop some sort of elaborate plan first. Whenever I go back to writing on a story most of the new content is just appended onto the end of what was there before. A story ends when there is nothing more in my mind to add to it.
I have posted a few
that show you a little of what I like in the way of movies and video. I don't host them from here, they are some interesting things I found on the web that I wanted to share with my readers.

Spring training isn't just for athletes. It's a good time to jumpstart work performance too. Jason Selk, Ph.D. and director of mental training for the St. Louis Cardinals, is a top-tier executive coach and knows everything there is to know about developing the mental toughness required for achieving goals. The techniques he outlines in this book are the same ones he used to help the Cardinals defeat the heavily favored Detroit Tigers in the 2006 World Series. The book also features a daily 100-second mental workout.
Selk believes spring training for the business mind should include five performance-boosting lessons from the Cardinals bullpen. "When I was hired by the Cardinals, it wasn't to teach them mechanics. It was to train them in mental toughness," he said. "I became their first director of mental training, and that year they went on to win their first World Series in 20 years."
Since that time, he has trained many world-class athletes as well as entrepreneurs and executives using the same techniques. He says there are important parallels between these groups. "First and foremost, business people are prone to many of the same unhelpful behaviors and mindsets as underperforming athletes, which prevent both groups from being at the top of their game and outshining the competition," he said.
According to Selk, the five spring training tips are: focus on your swing, not the home run; keep your eye on the ball; follow your code of conduct; rest and rejuvenate between games; don't push through the pain.
This executive and athletic mental trainer espouses three fundamentals for attaining high-level success. 1) Accountability — admit to mistakes, correct them and, most important, learn from them. 2) Focus on your strengths, on winning, on reaching your goal for only 100 seconds per day. 3) Optimism — don't just believe you can succeed, know you can succeed.
Executive Toughness takes readers through the steps of making these critical behaviors part of their every day routine. "Practice your accountability, focus and optimism, and you'll be on the path to attaining your goals. Make them part of your mental DNA, and there will be no turning back – ever," he said.
