Romanticism as an Art Poster
During the second half of the Eighteenth Century, the European art world saw the development of a new artistic style known as Romanticism. The rise of this style of art gained momentum in response to the Industrial Revolution and symbolized a revolt against social order and religion. Romantic art put particular emphasis on individualism and imagination and most of all, it exalted emotion over intellectual rationalization.
Romanticism - Fine Art Print or Poster
Romantic art delved deeply into the emotional state of the artist, going beyond the traditional subject matter for paintings and delving into lesser-examined subject matter such as passion, horror, mysticism and the spirit. The slightly darker subject matter can be seen in works such as Goya's "The Madhouse." Along with the new subject matter, this period of art brought with it a new use of color as a means to express mood and artists handled the paint more freely. All of this led to the creation of some of the most unforgettable art pieces in history. ARTFLAKES has made these striking images available in our large online library of poster images.
Romanticism as a Poster
Imagine any one of the remarkable art works hanging in your home. ARTFLAKES provides you with the opportunity to select your image and print it for your space. Whether you choose a poster or a canvas print, the Romanticism provides you with a magnificent array of imagery to browse through and turn into a fine art piece for your home.

While out on my route the other day, I stopped at a diner that featured liver and onions for the lunch special, something I hadn't seen in a lot of years.
Eating used to be so simple. A couple of eggs with grits, sausage, bacon or country ham in the morning with homemade biscuits. A quick hamburger or a bowl of chili at noon, and evening was your basic meat and potatoes.
Ingenuity: The quality of being cleverly inventive or resourceful.
The ingenuity of today's kids amazes me.
After watching the snow arrive Friday night, our kids kept walking outside to measure the accumulation. And on Saturday morning, the first question the kids asked when they woke was, "How much is there?"
My husband simply pointed toward the window.
The kids cleared the driveway and had some fun outside for a while, but it wasn't long before they begged to go to Miller Park for the "big" hills.
Wow. Sunday's meeting of the CKNJ Bookmarks reading group was the most interesting yet!
And if you haven't yet joined, you're missing something.
Our most recent meeting was Sunday at the Extension Office. Fifteen of us discussed the group's most recent book choice, "South of Broad" by Pat Conroy.
It was interesting at Sunday's discussion to hear all the different opinions.
When a group of 10-year-old little girls can get the best of me, I'm getting old.
This past weekend was my daughter's 10th birthday. That also means that it was her sixth sleepover.
For some unknown reason when Madison turned 5, I agreed to her suggestion that she should be able to invite that many girls. And when she turned 6, that's how many friends she invited. When she turned 8, thank goodness, we put a cap on the invitation list.
In my last column, I wrote about some of my favorite things. This week, I'll tell you a few of my not so favorite things.
First on the list refers to a call I received recently from someone who said she reads my columns (thanks for that).
She told me that some animals were being dropped off near the walking track behind Miller Park. She, like me, has a soft spot in her heart for innocent animals, and said she hated to see this.
I drove there very carefully, stopping gently and not going very fast. The drivers behind me must have been frustrated.
Two weeks ago, I wrote a story about the number of fatalities and crashes in our county last year.
To go along with the story, I took a photo of a cross on the side of KY 55 marking the place where a local man lost his life, just one of the 1,000 crashes local law enforcement investigated last year.
Whenever I write these types of stories, I begin thinking.
"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope."
—Robert F. Kennedy
A tiny ripple of hope ... Like most communities, ours has moments in its history of which its residents aren't proud.
A winter wonderland? Not quite, but Taylor County's first significant snowfall of the season dumped a nice 3 inches of powder on our laps.
Best of all, it gave me an excuse to stay home Saturday and Sunday. Any opportunity for slothfulness is never wasted on my part.
With little else to do, I found myself mired in news reports on the state budget. I must have experienced déjà vu at least a dozen times on Saturday alone. All of the fears and worries were the same as before.
Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we just can't write a story the way it should be written.
Not being able to do one's job is hard for anyone to admit, but it seems especially hard for journalists. Our job is to keep readers informed about what's going on in the community. And it's a job we take seriously.
The Boy Scouts of America organization turns 100 years old this year, having been incorporated in 1910 by William Boyce of Chicago, after his observation of scouting in England the previous year. Since that time, the Scouts have been directed by a 12-person executive committee and have evolved over the century in guiding the youth of America through their adolescent years.
The 12th edition of the Boy Scout Handbook still teaches such things as how to read a compass, tie knots and neckties, survive in the woods and render first aid.

On Easter Sunday, April 9, 1939, Marian Anderson performed in what may be her most famous concert in the United States. It began with a stirring rendition of "My Country 'Tis of Thee" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The interracial crowd was estimated at 75,000 and the radio audience in the millions. Her final selection was the Negro spiritual "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" and in finishing this concert, Marian became a powerful symbol for African American artists, in part because the concert came about due to the bigotry of others.
Marian Anderson was born in 1897 to John Berkley Anderson and his wife Annie Delilah Rucker. The Andersons were a devout Christian family with significant musical talent. (Marian and both of her younger sisters would all go on to become singers.) At the age of six, Marian's Aunt Mary convinced her to sing in the church choir. This gave her the opportunity to sing solos and duets and she soon began singing at other functions around the community.
After graduating high school, Marian wanted to study music at the Philadelphia Music Academy, but was rejected because she was black. Instead she studied privately with the help of people in her community. She won a contest to sing with the New York Philharmonic in 1925 and after a number of other concerts sang at Carnegie Hall. But racial prejudice made it difficult to build a career in the United States, so she moved to Europe.
Marian's career in Europe was very successful. She toured and made contacts that would help form her future career, including Kosti Vehanen and Sol Hurok who would be her accompanist/vocal coach and manager, respectively, for the rest of her career. She also made a profound impression on the composer Jean Sibelius who became her friend and adapted and composed songs for Marian throughout her career. Although she had thousands of fans in Europe, Hurok convinced Marian to return to the US in the late 1930s where she toured and became famous, although racial prejudice still presented roadblocks.
Because she was so popular, in 1939 when Howard University planned to host a concert with Marian, a large turnout was expected. The only hall large enough to hold the expected crowd was Constitution Hall belonging to the Daughters of the American Revolution. When they were approached, the DAR refused to allow a black artist to perform in the Hall. This caused quite a stir which prompted the resignation of many members, including First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
The First Lady had considered what to do. She wrote in her newspaper column about the sometimes difficult choice of whether to remain in an organization and work for change from within, or to leave the organization in protest. At times Eleanor felt that making a problem public was not the best strategy, but the rejection of Marian Anderson by the DAR was already public, so she chose to leave the organization and let it be known why.
Not long before this, Eleanor had attended the Southern Conference on Human Welfare in Birmingham, Alabama. The Conference had a large number of black delegates, but the city insisted that they adhere to the cities segregation laws. When Eleanor arrived with her friend Mary McLeod Bethune, the police told her that she couldn't sit with her friend. Her solution was to have her chair moved to the center aisle where she would sit neither on the "white" side nor the "colored" side. This caused quite a stir as did her resignation from the DAR.
Eleanor's decision to resign from the DAR received world-wide attention. She had her opponents, but many more who supported her decision. In the wake of the uproar, Walter White, executive secretary of the NAACP, and Marian's manager Sol Hurok came up with the idea of an open air concert in front of the Lincoln Memorial. With the support of both the President and First Lady, they approached Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes to arrange it. The gathering was a great success.
Marian Anderson went on to have a long distinguished career. She was the first African American to perform at the Metropolitan Opera; she continued to tour in Europe and toured Australia, India, and the Far East; and she entertained troops during WWII. In 1943, she even performed at Constitution Hall at the invitation of the DAR as a benefit for the Red Cross.
It seems fitting that Marian would begin her final concert tour at Constitution Hall in October 1964 and end at Carnegie Hall on April 18, 1965. Although officially retired she continued to appear publicly. She was active in the civil rights movement, giving benefit concerts and inspiring many others. Marian was the recipient of many awards during her life including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, the United Nations Peace Prize, and the George Peabody Medal.

While Walmart continues to fine tune its small format Express concept, ample opportunity awaits in the C-store space.
The latest data from Nielsen shows the number of U.S. convenience stores continues to expand and last year set a new record with 149,220 units. Roughly 63% of those units are independent operators who presumably charge higher prices than what would be available at Walmart's convenience stores.
The total C-store figure is up 1,094 units from the prior year so the increase amounts to only a 0.7% gain, according to the 2013 National Association of Convenience Stores/Nielsen Convenience Industry Store Count. Even so, the growth is noteworthy at a time when overall expansion of selling space in the broader retailer industry has remained stagnant even though the recession officially ended in 2009.
"Our continued growth shows that our core offer of convenience resonates with customers, whether a fill up, quick snack or drink or for fill-in groceries or take-out meals for time-starved consumers," said Dave Carpenter, chairman of the NACS trade group and president and CEO of Denver-based J.D. Carpenter Companies Inc.
The convenience retailing industry continues to be dominated by single-store operators, which now account for nearly 63% of all convenience stores, but the fastest growing segment of the industry is among operators with more than 500 stores. The store count among companies with more than 500 units grew by 8.9% to 21,738 stores, compared to the less than 1% growth that saw units operated by independents increase to 93,819 stores.
Convenience stores now account for 34.8% of all retail outlets in the United States, according to Nielsen, and the total count of slightly more than 149,000 units is double what it was in 1982.

D-backs select the contract of Hagens from Triple-A Reno, option Chafin to Reno
PHOENIX - The Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Bradin Hagens (@Bradin_Hagens16) from Triple-A Reno, as announced by D-backs' Executive Vice President & General Manager Kevin Towers. Hagens takes the roster spot of left-handed pitcher Andrew Chafin, who was optioned to Reno following the second game of last night's doubleheader in Cleveland.
Hagens will wear No. 60 in his Major League debut.
Hagens, 25, combined to go 8-7 with a 4.12 ERA (53 ER in 115.2 IP) in 25 games (19 starts) between Double-A Mobile and Reno this season. He was named the Organizational Player of the Month for May after going 3-0 with a 2.48 ERA (8 ER in 29.0 IP) in 5 starts, and has allowed 3 earned runs or less in 14 of his 19 outing overall.
Over 6 Minor League seasons, Hagens has gone 34-33 with a 4.14 ERA (266 ER in 578.2 IP) in 166 games (82 starts). The 2013 Southern League midseason All-Star was drafted by the D-backs in the sixth round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft from Merced College.
Chafin, 24, made his Major League debut in the second game of a doubleheader last night @ Indians, becoming the third rookie starter in club history to throw 5.0-plus scoreless innings (3 hits) in his first game (also: Micah Owings on April 6, 2007 vs. Nationals and Jarrod Parker on Sept. 27, 2011 vs. Dodgers).
Chafin was 8-6 with a 3.96 ERA (58 ER in 131.2 IP) in 23 starts between Double-A Mobile and Reno this season.
The D-backs' 40-man roster is now at 39.

Amazing!This concealer is amazing and is worth every penny! My main skin concern is dark circles, and this concealer does wonders. If you have dark undereye circles- this is it! Exactly what you need. First of all, it is liquid, so it goes on flawlessly, blends really well and it quite buildable. Most importantly, it doesn't settle in the fine lines, and has great, natural-looking coverage. A great bonus...read more- it really stays put all day- no touch-ups required. I didn't feel like it dries out my skin, and I'm prone to dryness. It is also good on blemishes and other imperfections. The concealer comes in a nice glass bottle with a pump, which helps the product to stay fresh longer. My only (very minor) dislike is that I tend to pump too much product sometimes, and you need very little to cover quite a lot. Overall, a wonderful concealer. I will definitely repurchase it, and highly recommend it to anyone. I believe this one can work great whatever you want to cover. And as a bonus, you can get help with finding the right shade for you at a MAC counter. I'm not some sort of MAC fan, but this concealer is wonderful, and the price is very good, given how well it works, how little you need, and how well it stays put. — 3 years, 6 months agovenenumletalis | 176 reviews

Perfect color match!This is a liquid concealer that comes in a little bottle with a pump. You need a very tiny bit. I apply it over a good moisturizer to make it blend in more easily and use a concealer brush. It is excellent for dark circles, scars, and pimples. It is long wearing and is non-irritating on my sensitive skin. It also does not accentuate fine lines (use over moistizer). The best thing is the colo...read morer range. They have a ton of colors from porcelain to chocolate. My skin gets really peachy tan in the summer and this is the only line I could find with a perfect color match for me. All of the other brands look ashy or chalky under my eyes. The guys and gals behind are really talented when it comes to helping you find the right color or product. It is a little expensive, but you use a small amount and it is worth it if you have a hard time finding a match for your skin tone. MAC also has a recycling program and gives you a free lipstick for 6 returned containers ( and who has better lipstick?). — 5 years, 1 month agoThorne | 456 reviews

Another great Mac product for Mac loversI bought this for a friend of mine who wears everything MAC, except for their concealer oddly enough. When I asked her about it, she said that she's actually never worn a concealer before. But admitted that the late work nights are leaving noticeable under eye circled. I thought, PERFECT! The first time she used this product she was hooked. I'm sure part of it is her biased opinion of her beloved ...read moreMAC beauty products, but she swore that she looks years younger with just a few dabs of this concealer under her eyes. I had to admit though, she was right. She looked great with it on. I only wish MAC used better quality and healthier ingredients in their products and didn't conduct animal testing. Other than these two gripes, I'm glad to say I made a friend happy. — 6 years, 7 months agoCeeNee888 | 162 reviews

The Perfect ConcealerAfter trying nearly every under-eye concealer out there to disguise my dark circles, I went to a MAC store and one of the sales associates suggested this longwear formula.

I often buy under-eye concealers that are too light for me and end up with that raccoon look in photos.

I have tried almost every single MAC Concealer, Make Up Forever, Hard Candy's Glamoflauge, etc. Nothing and I mean NOTHING compares to this stuff.

I was thinking about getting a little sample cup from Sephora with a lid, and putting my pumps into there so I don't ever waste any of it. :D This concealer is virtually waterproof, sweat proof, etc which is absolutely essential because I live in Seattle, WA and it's very cold and wet which often makes my make up smear and melt away.

Water restrictions lifted for WSSC customers
CHEVY CHASE, Md. (AP) - The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission says water restrictions have been lifted for customers affected by a water main break in Chevy Chase.
WSSC spokesman I.J. Hudson said Saturday that while the repair is now complete, restoration of the area will take weeks. Hudson says repairs to the roadway and sidewalk, removal of damaged trees, and work on a nearby stream bed will require that the far right northbound lane on Connecticut Avenue remain closed near the break.
Mandatory water restrictions were put in place in Montgomery and Prince George's County after the break Monday that caused a 30-foot geyser.
Business and residential customers were asked to only use water as necessary. That included taking shorter showers, limiting flushing of toilets, and the use of washing machines and dishwashers.

An experienced pilot brought a borrowed airplane to a smooth landing on state Route 125 in Chula Vista Friday morning after the engine stopped.
Jim Truitt of San Diego said there were no cars on the toll road north of the Otay River bridge when he guided the single-engine Cessna 150 onto the pavement about 11 a.m.
He was returning from a business trip to Ensenada, heading for Brown Field in Otay Mesa and flying through the clouds when the plane engine began to sputter, he said.
"The engine finally stopped," Truitt told reporters.
Knowing he couldn't reach the landing strip, he radioed the airport, declared an emergency and aimed for the highway, he said. He landed in northbound lanes and stopped on the shoulder.
Brown Field officials notified emergency personnel. Firefighters responded to the scene but were not needed, a San Diego dispatcher said.
Truitt said he has been a pilot since 1976 with more than 3,000 hours in the air, and "this is the first time I've ever landed on a highway." He said he believes the carburetor iced up.
The 58-year-old pilot told investigators he routinely makes this flight to visit family and friends, California Highway Patrol Officer Jake Sanchez said.
Federal Aviation Administration records show that the Cessna is owned by John H. Renquist of Valley Center, a commercial pilot, mechanic, flight instructor and experimental-aircraft builder.
The southern end of Route 125 to the Mexican border is a toll road and is typically lightly used.
The white plane with blue stripes was hitched to a pickup about 11:45 a.m. and towed slowly south on the freeway in a caravan including the CHP, a Caltrans sign truck, media vehicles and a dozen motorists. The plane was taken to Brown Field for inspection.
The FAA was notified about the emergency landing.

Retailers With Kick
In honor of Black Friday, let's take a quick, quantitative look at the most attractive retailers. As regular readers will know, my first pass at finding the names to research is looking at the strength of earnings-estimate revisions. The names with strong upward revisions generally have some earnings momentum worth investigating. Equally important to me is finding names that have this earnings momentum, but which are still trading at reasonable valuations.
The table below breaks out the best-looking large-cap retail names. All have strong estimate revisions and mostly good valuations. The earnings momentum is gauged by ranking the strength of change against the rest of the market, with a smaller "rank" number meaning stronger upward pressure....123 more words left in this article.

DESTIN, Fla.—They've taken another small step toward forming the new College Football Playoff selection committee.
But that small step has big ramifications.
Conference commissioners, the very men who developed and nurtured the new system, will not be eligible for the selection committee. Athletic directors—some of whom were major contributors to the process—could also be ineligible.
"It's a working model right now," said CFP executive director Bill Hancock. "Athletic directors are eligible now, but that could change."
MORE: Barry Alvarez concerned about CFB process
Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley, the SEC representative for the CFP, said his understanding is current commissioners, athletic directors and coaches will not be part of the committee.
The problem—or some would say, the benefit—with that step is it could eliminate the architects of the system. Hancock spoke at length Wednesday about the committee, but underscored the process is far from complete.
Conferences have until Friday to submit names for the committee, which will be whittled down to a committee of 12-20, "hopefully by sometime this fall," Hancock said. He added that he believes the CFP will receive more than 100 names.
A few entry points in the process:
—The committee will meet prior to the season, and then four to five times during the season, beginning in October.
—The committee will have a geographical element, with equal representatives from across the country.
—The committee will be "as transparent as we can possibly be," Hancock said.
"I think past athletic directors, old coaches and old players—but guys who are really for the college experience—is the way to go," said LSU coach Les Miles. "They'll be able to do the job without reflection on where they're from. The problem with current coaches and current athletic directors is they all have a bias. And it's impossible to remove it from them."
MORE: CFB selection committee size settled upon
Hancock said there still is no timetable for the completion of the committee, and there will be more discussion at the next CFP/BCS meetings in June. One of the ideas that will be addressed: Can the new committee use this season as a dry run.
Hancock said that process is possible, but that would also mean the committee would have to be set by the beginning of this season.
"It certainly something that could be useful," Hancock said. "But when that hand grenade is not live, it's different."

Leeds coach Brian McDermott insists homophobia does not exist in rugby league.
The former Great Britain international spoke out on Wednesday over the treatment of the Rhinos' full-back Zak Hardaker after he was handed a five-match ban for "using verbal abuse based on sexual preference".
Hardaker admitted making the remarks during his side's Super League defeat at Warrington 12 days ago but denied they were aimed at referee James Child and claimed he was unaware of their connotations.
McDermott, speaking at his weekly press conference ahead of Thursday's game against Huddersfield, said: "From the outset, our club has always had a stance against any form of discrimination.
"We actually had a week designated to the Lesbian, Gay and Trans-gender organisation and Zak Hardaker and Kallum Watkins were the cover boys on that.
"Zak fully accepts the punishment that's been handed out to him. From the outset, he's shown remorse and realised the error of his ways.
"But he's really upset that he's getting accused of being homophobic. He's been found guilty of using offensive language and causing offence.
"To inaccurately tar a young man with that is irresponsible."
The Rugby Football League's independent disciplinary tribunal accepted that Hardaker is not homophobic but were satisfied that the remarks were made to the match official.
Hardaker will be sidelined until mid-July but is expected to attend the England training camp in Loughborough this weekend.
Axed from England's World Cup squad last November for a breach of discipline, he was recalled to the international set-up after responding with a series of impressive performances for his club and McDermott expects him to once more bounce back.
"It's a tough week for Zak and it will continue to be a tough week," McDermott said. "He's getting hammered from everybody for two words that he shouted out.
"I'm not defending it but you've got to have a balanced opinion of this.
"Zak will pull through. He's in the form of his life and that's because he's been doing the right things, both off the field and on the field.
"He's a young honest man. At times he's a young silly man but he is only 22. He'd be something our game should be proud of at the moment. Leeds are certainly proud to have him in the team and I'm sure he will react to this in the right way.
"It's a shame that the whole game has been brought into question. But one of the positives is whole game's response. We haven't tried to sweep it under the carpet, we've been very transparent with how we've dealt with it. What is has proved is that there is absolutely no homophobia in our sport."
Meanwhile, McDermott has hit out at the RFL's failure to punish Leigh forward Matt Sarsfield for instigating a fight with Leeds' former England captain Jamie Peacock during last Friday's Challenge Cup quarter-final.
While the match-review panel decided the sin-binning was sufficient punishment for Sarsfield, Peacock was ordered to face a disciplinary hearing and only avoided a suspension because of the provocation and his previous exemplary record.
"That had a massive bearing on last night," McDermott said. "You can't fail to recognise that.
"There is a sense of frustration of why he was even called up. Our game has never really made a distinction between the thug and a braveheart.
"It almost seems to be making too strong a point on the people who retaliate and not enough about the people who are the actual instigators.
"Leigh had a strategy to win the game. They felt they couldn't deal with JP's open and honest game where he just runs as hard as he can and keeps as fit as he can so that he can last longer than anybody else.
"Leigh concede they can't do that so what they do is wait until he is on the floor and cheap-shot him and head-butt and try to get him to retaliate and get sent off.
"While ever those thugs aren't being made accountable, you will always give those thugs the motivation to do it.
"It's unbelievably frustrating. It was a head-scratching moment when they said the Leigh player wasn't acting against the spirit of the game."

This answers the question about Manning not attending the 1st two games as well as tells us he'll be in 'upstairs' for the Steelers game-
Peyton Manning won't be able to lend his right arm as the Indianapolis Colts attempt to break their two-game losing streak Sunday night when the Pittsburgh Steelers visit Lucas Oil Stadium, but the veteran quarterback nonetheless will offer his vast experience.
Manning will be in the press box, sitting next to quarterbacks coach Ron Turner, and provide whatever input is asked of him. Doctors wouldn't allow him to attend the Colts' first two games -- losses at Houston and home against Cleveland -- while recovering from Sept. 8 neck surgery.
"My first obligation to the team is to get myself healthy,'' Manning told The Star this afternoon. "But I do believe that (since) I'm on the active roster, I have an obligation to help the team in some capacity.''
Manning has been around the team's West 56th Street complex all week. He's been visible while walking laps around the practice fields, and active behind the scenes.
"This is new to me,'' he said. "But I want to be a resource. I want to help.''
The league's only four-time MVP remains on the active roster, but it's uncertain if he'll be able to return this season.
"I'm just trying to get healthy,'' Manning said.
To read more about Manning's first interview since his latest surgery, check out Saturday's Indianapolis Star.

The FBI has a long history of offering rewards for terrorists, bank robbers, and all sorts of scoundrels. Now it's offering money to catch people misusing laser pointers.
Twelve different offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced Tuesday they will pay $10,000 for information that leads to an arrest for pointing lasers at aircraft – a dangerous practice that can temporarily blind pilots.
The frequency of such incidents has risen greatly in recent years. In 2005, the year the FBI began tracking the "laser strikes," it recorded 283. In 2013 it reported 3,960, or nearly 11 per day.
"Shining a laser into the cockpit of an aircraft can temporarily blind a pilot, jeopardizing the safety of everyone on board," said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. "We applaud our colleagues at the Justice Department for aggressively prosecuting aircraft laser incidents and we will continue to use civil penalties to further deter this dangerous activity."
The pilot program offering rewards for information leading to arrests of individuals deliberately aiming such pointers at planes will run for 60 days, officials said.
"It is important that people understand that this is a criminal act with potentially deadly repercussions,'' said Ron Hosko, head of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division.
The FBI offices offering the rewards are in Albuquerque, Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Sacramento, San Antonio, San Juan, P.R, and Washington, D.C.
A conviction for deliberately pointing a laser at an airplane can lead to a prison sentence of up to five years.

6 Ways to Recover if You Screw Up at Work
By Heather Huhman, Glassdoor.com
Mistakes happen. Let's say you were absent from a high-priority client meeting, dropped the ball on a big account, or maybe even mishandled a large sum of company money. While the scenarios may vary, all eyes are now on you. What happens next?
Making a mistake on the
can be a jarring experience, but there's a lot you can gain from your errors. You might even come back stronger and more knowledgeable than before. By putting a cleanup and prevention plan into play after the fact, you're likely to move past this bump in the road.
Here are six tips for coming back stronger after screwing up at work:
1. Pull Yourself Together.
The variety of emotions experienced after your on-the-job error are likely to overwhelm you. Whether it's frustration or embarrassment, spending a brief moment analyzing the situation and getting your thoughts together will put you in a better direction. Keep your analytical timeframe brief, but make sure you've dug into your thoughts.
2. Fess Up.
This isn't time for excuses. It's crucial you own up after a sticky situation. Take responsibility and apologize for your misstep. Your manager and co-workers will know whether you're genuinely sorry for your actions, so this isn't a time for any inauthentic apologies. Use your best judgment in your approach for your apology. Sometimes going overboard with apologies can rub others the wrong way – try to find a healthy medium.
3. Clean Up the Mess.
If you don't move quickly, your small mistake could turn into something much larger. Whatever the case may be, do your best to step in and handle the cleanup process. This will show your interest in improving the situation and hold you accountable. If it's out of your hands, be sure your boss or co-workers know you're still interested in helping in any way possible, even if it means taking on some of their projects.
4. Don't Dwell on it.
The first step to moving forward after a mistake is accepting the situation. It doesn't do you any good to beat yourself up, this only leads to self-doubt. As Malcolm Forbes once said, "Failure is success if we learn from it." Don't let your misstep ruin your plan of action for the future.
5. Learn From it.
What can you do to improve, not only in your current position, but in your career as a whole? Gather beneficial advice from company outsiders like your trusted network of connections and also from your fellow co-workers or even your manager. Utilize this wisdom to learn where you may have gone wrong and how to ensure you avoid this situation in the future. Use this as a personal growth experience to improve yourself in more ways than just this one incident.
6. Move Forward.
You've faced the problem, apologized, and create a plan for improvement, now it's time to move on. Your boss and co-workers are likely to want to move past this as quickly as possible and so should you. Leave the situation in the past and never reference it again. If you latch onto it, you're likely to impair yourself without even realizing. Set your sights on continued self-improvement, both on and off the job.
Mistakes are an essential part of growth when it comes to your career path. Learning to be accountable, forgive yourself, and make improvement for the future will keep you moving in a positive direction.

Tampa Bay Lightning brings back Michel Ouellet and makes Brett Connolly signing official
The Tampa Bay Lightning signed right wing Michel Ouellet to a one-year, two-way deal and made the signing of 2010 first-round pick Brett Connolly official.
Ouellet, 29, had 17 goals and 36 points in what was a disappointing 2007-08 season for Tampa Bay. Connolly actually signed last month, but he paperwork wasn't filed until today.
Here is the announcement about Ouellet:
The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed free agent right wing Michel Ouellet (wuh-LEHT) to a one-year, two-way contract today, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced. The forward also played for the Lightning during the 2007-08 season.
Ouellet, 6-foot, 203 pounds, has spent the previous two seasons in Europe. Last year he played in 39 games for the Hamburg Freezers of the German Elite League, notching 11 goals and 28 points. He ranked fourth on the team in points and was also tied for third for assists and fourth for goals. In 2009-10, Ouellet skated for Fribourg-Gotteron of the Swiss Elite League, recording a goal and five points in 11 games.
A native of Rimouski, Quebec, Ouellet has played in 190 career NHL games with the Lightning, Pittsburgh Penguins and Vancouver Canucks. During that time he has amassed 52 goals, 27 power-play goals and 116 points. Ouellet played in 64 games with Tampa Bay during the 2007-08 season, registering 17 goals and 36 points, both the second-highest totals of his career. That season he led the Bolts in plus/minus rating with a plus-11 and was fourth in goals. Ouellet has played in five Stanley Cup Playoff games, all with Pittsburgh in 2007, notching two assists.
Originally drafted by the Penguins in the fourth round, 124th overall, at the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, Ouellet has played in 228 career AHL games with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and the Manitoba Moose, amassing 84 goals and 184 points during his AHL career. In 2003-04, his first in the league, Ouellet finished first among rookies with 30 goals and fifth among first-year players with 49 points to lead his team in both categories. He has also played in 33 career Calder Cup Playoff games, recording four goals and 17 points.
Ouellet played four junior seasons for the Rimouski Oceanic of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. In 224 career games with the Oceanic, Ouellet tallied 125 goals and 299 points.
Here is the announcement about Connolly:
The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed right wing Brett Connolly to a standard three-year, entry-level contract today, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced.
Connolly, 6-foot-2, 181 pounds, spent last season with the Prince George Cougars of the Western Hockey League, recording 46 goals, 27 assists and 73 points in 59 games played. He set WHL career-highs for goals and points while also ranking third among all WHL goal-scorers. His 15 power-play goals ranked 12th.
A native of Campbell River, British Colombia, Connolly has spent each of the past four seasons with Prince George of the WHL. Throughout his career he has amassed 86 goals and 152 points in 144 WHL games. He has also appeared in five career postseason games, registering two points.
Prior to being selected by the Lightning with the sixth overall pick at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft in Los Angeles, Connolly was ranked third among North American skaters according to NHL Central Scouting. In 2008-09, Connolly led the Cougars with 30 goals, 30 assists and 60 points in 65 games. He also tied for the team lead in playoff points that season, recording two assists. Also in 2008-09, Connolly became the first 16-year-old Western Hockey League rookie to score 30 goals in a season since Patrick Marleau accomplished the feat in 1995-96. He finished with a team-high 60 points and beat out Evgeny Grachev and Dmitry Kulikov to be named the Canadian Hockey League and WHL Rookie of the Year.
In addition to his success in the North American ranks, Connolly has also excelled on the international stage. He most recently represented Team Canada at the 2011 IIHF World Championships held in Buffalo, New York, where he recorded three assists in seven games in helping his team to a silver medal. In addition, Connolly appeared in the 2010 Under-18 World Championships for the second consecutive year after also being selected in 2009. During the 2009 tournament, Connolly was the youngest player on Team Canada, recording six points in six games. During that same year, at the 2009 World Under-17 Challenge, he led Team Pacific with eight points in six games en route to winning a silver medal.

Wildfire program hones skills
October 9, 2012
The Park City Fire District, which encompasses the same 110 square-miles as the Park City School District, joined a multi-state wildland fire fighting program this summer.
About a third of the District's fire fighters already have some wildland fire experience, as many fight wildland fires during the summer while attending college for extra money.
"Our goal was to help those guys who have done it before to keep up on their skills, but more importantly, to give our new guys, and even our older guys who have never really done large campaign-type wildland fires, some really good experience and increase their skill set," Park City Fire District Capt. Dave Marsella said.
Not all of the District's fire fighters participate, as many have young children or other impediments, and they can be gone for as long as two weeks at a time with only two hours notice.
This summer, the group has fought fires in Wyoming, Idaho, South Dakota and Nebraska.
"It's a long ride in a fire engine to Nebraska," Marsella said with a laugh.

One of the District's captains spent five days doing structure protection in Wyoming. After he returned, he ended up fighting the Fox Bay fire in Wasatch County doing a similar job.
"So he had a much better understanding of how those things work," Marsella said. "So, so far it's gone very well. We've been out almost 50 days total, and all of our evaluations have come back great. Our guys have worked really hard. And more importantly, a lot of our guys have gotten great experience. I think we're going to do the same thing next year."

2013-2014 Classroom Technology Grants
CELT is sponsoring two types of Classroom Technology Grants for the 2013-2014 academic year. We will hold two open sessions at which we will discuss the grants and answer questions. These drop-in grant information sessions are scheduled for Tuesday, November 5, 2-3 pm, and Wednesday, November 6, 11-12. Both will be held in Haas 508. If you cannot attend either of these and want more information, please contact Dan Barrett.
1. (NEW) Targeted Mini Grants. Up to four $500 grants may be awarded to faculty who wish to implement a specific technology-related pedagogical tool or practice for the first time. This academic year CELT wants to encourage faculty to try classroom flipping for the first time. These targeted grants are much smaller in scope than the Open Grant, and require that faculty refashion only a few class meetings (as opposed to an entire course).
We hope to create a cohort of four faculty to whom CELT will provide guidance, training, and support for learning how to implement the flipped, or inverted classroom. In addition, these four faculty can learn together and support each other during the planning and implementation of this approach. Briefly, a flipped classroom is one in which students are exposed to course content outside of the classroom (such as by watching recorded lectures online) and engage in active learning and/or problem-solving activities during class. More detailed information about the inverted classroom can be obtained from the links posted at http://libguides.wcsu.edu/content.php?pid=148499 and the grant information sessions mentioned above.
Grant Requirements:
- Submit an application to Dan Barrett, CELT Director, by Monday, November 11, 2013.
- Flip the equivalent of two weeks of classes (e.g., 2 classes if one mtg per week, 4 if two mtgs per week, etc.). This includes recording lectures and creating/implementing active learning during those meetings.
- Participate in co-learning with other cohort members about classroom flipping.
- Gather student perceptions of flipping pre and post implementation (we will use the same instrument across the classes).
- Provide a short written reflection on your experiences
- Participate in a panel in which the experiences of the four faculty will be shared with WCSU faculty and staff.
- Allow CELT to watch your lectures.
2. Open Grant. This is similar to what has been offered in previous years: one $2,000.00 grant may be awarded for a significant classroom initiative in technology and teaching. The Classroom Technology Open Grant is designed to encourage the implementation of innovative, creative uses of emerging technologies in the classroom or virtual learning environment. All kinds of technology and approaches are welcome. This program is for innovations using technologies already existing in our system (not to purchase new equipment or software). For more information about what previously funded grants, please visit http://libguides.wcsu.edu/content.php?pid=148499.
How might we incorporate the digital media in our student's lives into the classroom experience? The possibilities include the creative use of any of these and more.

The Program for Jewish Genetic Health grew out of a pilot effort aimed towards providing the Jewish community with accessible and affordable carrier testing for Tay-Sachs disease and other Jewish genetic diseases that could affect offspring. In the spring of 2010, a relationship with Yeshiva University and Einstein was formalized and the Program for Jewish Genetic Health was born.
With the recent explosion of genetic knowledge and technology, there now are many other Jewish genetic health issues that require the same focus and attention, from familial cancers and adult onset brain disorders, to bone marrow transplantations and novel gene therapies. Advances in medicine have allowed for significant progress in the realms of diagnosis, prevention and management of these diseases.
Our mission revolves around servicing the Jewish community and listening to its needs, with the ultimate goal of protecting its health and the health of its future generations. We view the community as an active partner in this mission, and we are prepared to evolve and adapt as community needs grow and change.
To see our mission through, the Program provides three corresponding services:

In my spare time I am an open source software developer and general geek.
I have just finished a large project and am staring 'esati', a hand held device with 3 - 4 buttons a 4 line LCD display, speaker and microphone which will help me with daily practice.
Its aim is to help me be mindful during a busy working day full of driving and phone calls. I have started the code and will start putting soldering iron to chips in the next 2 - 3 weeks but the outline modes are ...
(1) Waits until conversation is detected, after a min or two plays a pre recorded message or sound ie a 'practice correct speech' or more subtly the sound of a meditation bell. When the conversation ceases, goto sleep until conversation is detected again.
(2) Waits until there is no conversation and at random intervals play a pre recorded message or sound ie 'just drive nothing else' or more subtly the the sound of a meditation bell. Random gap will be programmable from x mins to y mins. If conversation is detected ie due to a co-worker or a phone conversation, goto sleep until the conversation has ended.
(3) Combines (1) & (2) above
(4) Conventional meditation timer. Time programmable
The idea being that the messages can be easily changed, ie from 'just drive nothing else' to 'metta for other drivers' or 'metta for my co-workers' etc etc ...
Anyhow am unsure how this will be received, and I have a lot of work to do to complete it, probably 8 - 12 months but would like to know what you all think.

IMPORTANT: PGP Desktop 10.1.1 for Mac OS X supports OS update to Mac OS X 10.6.6
Symantec has released PGP Desktop 10.1.1 for Mac OS X. After installation of this update, PGP Desktop customers can safely update their OS version to Mac OS X 10.6.6. Note: PGP Desktop 10.1.1 does not roll up all PGP Desktop hot fixes and service packs that are currently in use.
As a result, a 10.1.1 upgrade may cause certain customers to regress on functions that they depend on. Symantec is proactively recommending that affected customers should NOT upgrade to 10.1.1 at this time. If you are an affected customer, you will receive a separate communication from Symantec support.
Issue Summary: If you had previously applied the PGP Desktop 10.1.0 HF1 or PGP Desktop 10.1.0 SP1 update to a pre-10.6.6 Mac OS X client and updated the OS to 10.6.6, you may have received an error message stating "The installation failed. Installer has encountered an error that caused the installation to fail". In fact, the OS update completed successfully. However, the HF1 and SP1 updates mark files in the helper partition with the immutable bit set, causing kextcache to fail and prompt the user on each subsequent boot with the message "kextcache does not match system kext". PGP Desktop 10.1.1 ensures the immutable bit is not set on any PGP file in the helper partition.
Prior to the release of 10.6.5, the PGP Engineering team tested every version of the early developer release of the update provided by Apple to the PGP Engineering team. No conflicts were found. However, we identified after the release of the upgrade that Apple's automated Software Update mechanism bypasses the protections the PGP Engineering team has put around the boot.efi file. This bypass allows the update to overwrite a critical file needed by PGP WDE when the machine reboots, rendering the system non-bootable after the update. Following the discovery of this issue, we re-verified that manual application of the 10.6.5 combo updater does not bypass these protections and is our recommended way to upgrade to 10.6.5. The specific steps for upgrading with the combo updater are listed in the Detail Section below.
Users who encountered problems with updating via Apple's Software Update should follow the recovery steps listed at the end of this article.
If you are already running Mac OS X 10.6.5 there are no issues installing PGP WDE 10.0.2 and above. PGP WDE 10.0.2 and above is fully compatible with 10.6.5.
Update 12-20-2010: Symantec strongly recommends that all customers install the Apple OSX 10.6.5 update as soon as possible by following the steps in the Detail section below. This will prevent the accidental installation of 10.6.5 when the Software Update mechanism is used to upgrade other Apple products, such as iTunes or Safari.
Alternatively, customers can now apply a PGP Hotfix that completely addresses the issue. This new client code protects and verifies the state of the boot.efi file even when Apple's automated Software Update mechanism attempts to bypass the client's protection of this file. Customers with supported versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.6.5 can apply this release to their PGP Desktop for Mac OS X clients and subsequently update the OS to 10.6.5 (or later) without encountering this issue. The Hot Fix is available now by contacting Technical Support. However, Symantec will deliver a generally available maintenance release of PGP Desktop for Mac OS X that addresses the issue in January, 2011.
IMPORTANT: You must install this PGP Desktop release on the Mac OS X client and restart before you perform an OS X update. If you install this PGP Desktop release and update the OS at the same time (without restarting), the new client code will not run, rendering the machine non-bootable.
If you choose not to apply the 10.6.5 update or the PGP Hotfix, do not click "Continue" to automatically accept new application updates when prompted by Software Update. Instead, click the "Show Details" button and deselect the "Mac OS X Update" before clicking "Install Item(s)."
Recommended Upgrade Process
PGP Corporation recommends that you backup your computer before applying any PGP product or Apple OS X updates.
1. Upgrade to PGP WDE 10.0.2 or above.
2. Download the Apple OS X 10.6.5 combo updater from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324
3. Run the installer for 10.6.5 and reboot as prompted by the installer.
4. Download the script "PGPwdeEFIUpdate.tar" to your desktop.
5. Open Terminal and navigate to your desktop directory by typing "cd ~/Desktop" and pressing enter.
6. Type in the command "tar -xzpf PGPwdeEFIUpdate.tgz"
7. Type in the command "chmod 755 PGPwdeEFIUpdate.sh" and press enter.
8. Type in the command "sudo ./PGPwdeEFIUpdate.sh" and press enter.
Recommended Recovery Process
For customers who have already upgraded to 10.6.5 with PGP WDE encryption in place and thus are stuck in an unbootable state, we recommend booting from the PGP Recovery CD. The PGP Recovery CD image can be downloaded from the attachment section below.
Update: You will also need to download the script "PGPwdeEFIUpdate.tgz". This script makes a needed backup of the correct version of the boot.efi file, which is used should you ever choose to decrypt your WDE-encrypted startup disk. Note that this script will also set the currently running startup disk as the default for future system restarts.
If you have previously followed steps 1-3 in this recovery guide but have not yet run steps 4-7 it is critical that you do so.
- Boot the system using the PGP Recovery CD.
- When prompted, authenticate with your passphrase. DO NOT press D to decrypt. Press any key (e.g. spacebar) to boot into Mac OS X normally.
- Once logged into Mac OS X, PGP Desktop will automatically fix the boot issue and you should no longer need the recovery CD.
4. Download the script "PGPwdeEFIUpdate.tar" to your desktop.
5. Open Terminal and navigate to your desktop directory by typing "cd ~/Desktop" and pressing enter.
6. Type in the command "tar -xzpf PGPwdeEFIUpdate.tgz"
7. Type in the command "chmod 755 PGPwdeEFIUpdate.sh" and press enter.
8. Type in the command "sudo ./PGPwdeEFIUpdate.sh" and press enter.

The Open Society Latin America Program works to strengthen democratic governance by fostering open societies that are safe, inclusive, and responsive to their citizens' needs and aspirations. The program believes in the need for a vibrant civil society that holds government accountable. It encourages the participation of Latin Americans in global and regional debates on issues of vital importance to their countries, such as citizen security, accountability and transparency, and the defense of human rights.
Through grantmaking and advocacy efforts, the Latin America Program supports the work of civil society organizations and their constructive engagement in the development, implementation, and oversight of public policies. The program counterparts are NGOs, grassroots networks, and applied research and training organizations.
The program's strategy includes a concentrated resource approach to priority countries (Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela) in addition to support for strategic regional initiatives in areas of thematic focus. Key focus areas include:
- accountability, transparency, and access to information
- citizen security
- human rights
- policy debate and dialogue
The program works closely with the Fondation Connaissance et Liberté in Haiti. It also collaborates with other Open Society programs, such as the Information Program, Global Drug Policy Program, Media Program, and the Open Society Justice Initiative.
Focus Areas
Accountability and Transparency
The Latin America Program supports initiatives that encourage informed, constructive public oversight of government policy. show more Only through greater accountability and transparency can citizens combat graft and inefficiencies and secure equal access to essential public services. The program provides funding for civil society actors in Latin America that often lack the resources and expertise necessary to gain access to government-held information, to scrutinize budgets, and to monitor the performance of public officials.
To encourage the public oversight that assures higher standards of governance, the program supports work to: promote the public's right and ability to access government documents and data through the passage and implementation of freedom of information laws; provide citizen groups and journalists with the training and resources they need to fulfill their role as public watchdogs; improve the capacity of civil society to monitor government revenues and expenditures and promote equitable access to government services; strengthen and expand accountability and oversight mechanisms to reduce opportunities for corruption and other abuses of public office; promote the use of transparency tools to increase access to justice and essential social services for marginalized or disadvantaged communities.
Citizen Security
The Latin America Program supports initiatives that encourage constructive policy advocacy and dialogue between civil society and governments relating to issues of citizen security, law enforcement, and judicial policies. show more Insecurity is the top concern for a majority of Latin American citizens, opinion polls show. Yet reforms in law enforcement and judicial institutions are often short sighted, piecemeal, or hard-line, threatening basic human rights. Many countries are ill-equipped to deal with the menace of organized crime and corruption, fueled by the illegal drug trade. Constructive policy advocacy and dialogue between civil society and governments are often lacking.
To address these issues, the Latin America Program funds efforts to: provide state and civil society actors with the technical expertise and advocacy skills to implement effective law enforcement and judicial policies that respect human rights; encourage new actors and institutions to engage in policy-relevant debate and research on alternative approaches to drug policy and organized crime; develop regional networks of civil society actors to exchange information about police reform, crime prevention, and the growth of transnational organized crime.
Human Rights
The Latin America Program supports organizations that advance human rights and strengthen the rule of law. show more We give priority to civil society groups and individuals that work to: monitor and report on human rights abuses and advocate for rights-respecting policies and practices in select countries (Mexico and Venezuela); strengthen regional mechanisms and initiatives to protect human rights; improve transitional justice outcomes for victims of human rights abuses in ways that strengthen democratic institutions and fight impunity.
Policy Debate and Dialogue
The Latin America Program encourages greater participation in the formulation of international policies that reduce conflict, reinforce democratic governance, and promote social justice. show more We advocate pluralistic dialogue among diverse sectors based on mutual understanding and respect.
To stimulate policy debates both within and among nations, the program supports efforts to: build public support for multilateral mechanisms to solve problems that threaten the security of citizens throughout the hemisphere, such as common crime and drug and arms trafficking; encourage U.S.-based organizations to advocate U.S. foreign policies based on respect for human rights and democracy; identify strategies to reduce political polarization within and among Latin American countries; foster regional dialogues to defuse conflict and improve hemispheric relations.

Monterey >> When Police Chief F.W.A. Cording escorted two members of the Ku Klux Klan out of Monterey in 1923, he did not take kindly to their threats.
"If you try to get me," the chief was quoted telling the men, "I have plenty of ammunition and have had no target practice lately."
The Klan's many attempts to set up shop in Monterey — despite "klaverns" in Santa Cruz, Watsonville and Hollister — were constantly rebuffed, even at the height of the hate group's influence.
"There was a lot of opposition to the Klan," said Jeff Lanzman, a Colton Hall Museum docent, to a room of 38 people Sunday at the Monterey Public Library. "But even in the articles it said 70 percent of Montereyans were against. Well, 30 percent were still in favor of it. And that was considered good."
Lanzman, 64, of Pacific Grove, said he came across 1920s newspaper clippings about a year ago that described a KKK trial at Colton Hall. Fascinated by the little known event, he worked with museum operators to bring the story to the community.
When the Klan made a play for Monterey it was undergoing a massive boom in membership — some estimates put the group around 4 million members — brought on by a new public relations strategy, social upheaval after World War I and a shift of focus.
"They changed the emphasis on who they hated the most," Lanzman said.
Catholics went to the top of the list because the Klan said they were loyal to the pope, Jewish people were second because the organization claimed they wanted to take over financial institutions and last was people of color.
This created a problem for organizing in Monterey, Lanzman said, because of all the new Catholic immigrant fishermen flooding the city.
The Klan first tried to organize in 1922 but a Superior Court Judge in Salinas threatened a grand jury investigation if they attempted it. A year later, two Klansmen came to Monterey and were arrested while soliciting a membership.
They were brought up on charges of vagrancy, prompting a two-day trial at Colton Hall that brought out "hundreds" of Klansmen and plenty of angry, young Catholics.
The Herald at the time did little to ease tensions:
"The 'fiery cross' may soon be blazing on the hills back of Monterey!" read a 1923 news article. "Alvarado Street may yet resound to the tread of marching feet, whose owners are attired in nightshirts and pillowslips!"
Despite arguments that the Klan was an illegal organization by the Monterey County deputy district attorney, the judge eventually ruled the pair were not guilty of vagrancy.
Even after the win, the Klan apparently stopped trying to organize in Monterey because, Lanzman said, it was clear the community did not want them.
Attendees at the library event were not convinced local KKK organizing ended with the trial. They told numerous stories of the Klan showing up during the civil rights movement and stories of finding robes and other Klan gear on the Monterey Peninsula.
Larise Baker of Seaside said she was helping organize a garage sale for elderly residents about 20 years ago when she came across a book which had notes in it about a Pacific Grove Klan meeting. She didn't remember what year the meeting was supposed to happen but was "shocked."
CSU Monterey Bay instructor George Station said he knew from his experience in Indiana that even though the white robes may have gone away it doesn't mean the Klan's views are not still present.
"Just because the (trial) was over," he said, "It doesn't really mean it was over."
What makes the Monterey story unique is the Klan seemed to be having so much success everywhere else, even locally.
Santa Cruz High School allowed the organization to hold a fundraiser at the school, Watsonville had a thriving chapter and, in 1924, four Klan members elected to Anaheim city council and fired all the Catholics, Lanzman said.
He said there are some reports of a KKK chapter in Salinas but he could not say for sure.
Today there are just 5,000 to 8,000 Klan members spread among several organizations that use the Klan name, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Dennis Copeland, the museum's cultural arts and archives manager, said he and Lanzman decided about four months ago the story of the Klan in Monterey fit well into National History Day's 2014 theme of "rights and responsibilities."

Ukiah Daily Journal
Red Cross volunteer Rick Paige of Ukiah headed home Saturday after three weeks in southern New Jersey coordinating help for thousands of people who lost their homes -- temporarily or permanently -- because of Hurricane Sandy.
"We were about at ground zero where I was," Paige said. "We lost a lot of homes due to tidal surges, and (because of) the wind on the Barrier Islands, there were a lot of trees and owner lines down."
The former director of Mendocino County's emergency response agency, Paige said his job as government liaison manager on the East Coast involved overseeing government liaisons in eight counties to coordinate shelter, supplies and food for evacuees at 18 Red Cross shelters.
"We were without power for several days after the storm," he said, a condition that was made worse when a Nor'easter dropped eight inches of snow within 24 hours on the region, tearing down more trees and freshly repaired power lines.
In the three weeks following Sandy's arrival, the Red Cross' focus shifted from the immediate concern of housing those seeking shelter as the hurricane approached the eastern seaboard to helping people through the aftermath.
"People are just getting back into their homes now and being able to do damage assessment," Paige said.
Removing waterlogged sheet rock and flooring is just the beginning, he said, as biological decontamination and treatment is needed to prevent mold from forming. Then, the repair work can begin.
Professional cleaning companies would send "truck after truck after truck" to devastated areas he said, and tree limbs and logs began to pile up as people removed them from their homes and yards to be hauled away to dump sites.
The Red Cross established distribution sites where people could get food, water, personal hygiene kits and cleaning tools, among other relief items.
"We also had vehicles going through some of the areas that were hit for people who can't get to distribution sites," Paige said.
He estimated that about 60 percent of the homes in the coastal regions in his area were severely damaged or destroyed. There were 109 homes destroyed in one county alone, he said, including 60 lost to fire during the hurricane.
Paige estimated volunteers his area helped about 150,000 people in the last three weeks, "and that's just the lower half of New Jersey."
"We've also delivered about 300,000 meals, if not more," he said.
His job involved collecting supplies from outside the area, breaking them down and distributing them to the places they were needed.
Complicating the task was the fact that there were more than 50 small jurisdictions with which to communicate and coordinate. Each was responsible for its own response, so the logistical push was to get them to talk to the county governments to find out what is needed and where.
"We're dependent on information given to us by local governments," Paige said. "We have to contact smaller governments, and there are lots in New Jersey. It's a tremendous logistical effort."
The numbers of people staying in shelters have dropped as areas have opened up and people have been allowed to go home, Paige said.
"Some people would turn around and come back because there was nothing for them to stay in, or they would find a relative to stay with," Paige said.
As people left Red Cross shelters and began to decide what they needed to do next, shelters popped up in churches and other places, the Red Cross would send whatever help was needed as they did.
"Usually we didn't hear from them until they were in crisis," Paige said of the shelters.
The Red Cross sent food, relief materials, and anywhere from a few volunteers to a full staff to help run the shelters, including mental health and medical specialists to assess and treat immediate needs.
Many residents are still without heat and power, he said, which is a concern as nighttime temperatures dip back down in to the 30s in the area and another nor'easter expected around Thanksgiving. But Paige said he feels better about the situation now than he did weeks ago.
"Things are improving, and they will get better because the lines of communication are restored," he said.
About 150 new volunteers arrived the same day that about the same number left, he said. While turnover can slow things down, the response is more established and can move more quickly, he said.
The Red Cross has sent more than 5,800 workers -- about 90 percent of them volunteers -- from all 50 states to support shelters, provide food and water and drive through neighborhoods to distribute meals and supplies, according to spokeswoman Ellen Maremont Silver.
In partnership with the Southern Baptist Convention, the Red Cross served more than 5.6 million meals and snacks from kitchens and feeding sites in new York and New Jersey, according to Silver. Thursday night alone, the Red Cross and other organizations houses about 1,800 people in 16 shelters.
The response has also included more than 57,000 health services and emotional support contacts, more than 1.7 million relief items and help from more than 50 national partner organizations and more than 1,300 partner volunteers, according to the Red Cross.
