Investigators say around 3 p.m. Thursday an S.U.V. crashed into the C.H.P. office on Airport Drive in Madera. Fortunately, no one was injured.
The driver was 56-year old Jim Kopshever, a former councilman and mayor of Chowchilla.
"The crash produced a loud sound that could be heard throughout the office and my reaction was to see if anyone was hurt," said C.H.P. Sgt. Michael Donnelly.
Sgt. Donnelly explained what happened with Kopshever that lead to this startling surprise.
"He began coughing. He felt light-headed and possibly fainted," said Sgt. Donnelly.
Investigators say Kopshever lost control while driving on Airport Drive, went over the lawn, across the parking lot, then smashed through the front doors.
"Fortunately no one was in the lobby," said Sgt. Donnelly.
Early indications are that Kopshever suffered some sort of medical condition. Officers put him through a series of sobriety tests to be safe.
"Mr. Kopshever was not under the influence of any alcohol or drugs. The investigation is still ongoing, but at this time the driver will not face criminal charges," said Sgt. Donnelly.
Thursday evening, workers stabilized the structure by installing supports. Despite the destruction, this office is expected to be back open for business on Friday.
"We'll still provide service as we can for the public," said Sgt. Donnelly.
Officers will most likely open the building's security gate and have people drive through the back lot to enter through another door.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the patch. However I tried to apply this and it doesn't match the current .spec file in the public LTIB CVS. Specifically, the current .spec file does not include libxml++-1.0.5-grep.patch and that patch has not been pushed out to the GPP (assuming this is something Freescale did). If you have that patch and believe it's not restricted (I doubt it), then I can try to update the .spec file to include both patches. Could you also send the full .spec file as there may be other changes that I'm not aware of. Could you also say which BSP this came from (just for administrative recording purposes).

By and large, however, many of us had nary a clue. Bill or Cindy always seemed so outgoing and upbeat, we think to ourselves. Uncle Tom or cousin Bess seemed so full of life. It's at times like these that we begin to wonder if we were too self-absorbed to notice the obvious clues. How could I not have sensed this?
It's one thing when the deceased is someone we know personally; it's quite another when the decedent happens to be a celebrity or newsmaker. We like to delude ourselves into thinking we know someone intimately simply because we watch them regularly on the TV or in the movies and/or we listen to their music. Because their persona or performance impacts our emotions -- we feel a "connection" -- we like to believe we KNOW the person behind the public facade.
For me, this is the prime reason so many fans (like moi) of Storm Chasers on the Discovery Channel have felt blindsided by the death of TIV meteorologist Matt Hughes. The Matt we saw on our TV screens each week looked like a decent guy with a quick smile and a warm personality. He didn't appear to fit the stereotypical image of a person who battled with depression.
What did Matt have to be torn up about anyway? He was an up and coming star on a widely popular cable reality show. He had a successful career, a wife and two young sons. His future looked bright.
But stereotypes hide the pain that all of us deal with. Television, in particular, presents people as one-dimensional caricatures of themselves. Each of us is a complex organism with many dimensions. What we allow others to see is but a pale facsimile of want transpires in the depths of our being.
Matt Hughes, like so many others, was far more than his public image. It's rather obvious that he suffered a pain that he no longer felt he could bear. Despite his seeming success, it must not have been enough to compensate for the sorrow in his heart. Since none of us can truly know what crosses or demons any other person must shoulder, I cannot judge him. I can only hope that his act of desperation brought him peace.
When it comes to the lives AND deaths of others, we err grievously when we think we know.

Starting work on Slavery Mod. Looking for suggestions.
I'm starting work today on my first Civ V mod and am looking for suggestions and tweaks as I write the code. I'd like to keep this simple at first--diplomatic options will be added later.
Here are the mechanics I'm adding. Feedback is appreciated. **New Mechanic** - Pillage City - Upon successful conquest of a city, the player may select "Pillage City" instead of the traditional options. - Pillaging the city will yield a number of Slave units equal to original city population/2 and reduce the population of the city to 1, but leave the city under the control of the original owner. - Pillaging any city state triggers permanent war with that city state. - Useful for farming slaves. **New Unit** - Slave - Cities cannot build the Slave. - Slaves are generated by the Pillage City mechanic above. - Successfully defeating a unit in combat will have a 20% chance of generating a Slave. - A Slave may be joined to any city for an instant 1 population growth. - A Slave may be sacrificed in any city containing the coliseum improvement for 10 turns of +5 happiness. **Social Policy Changes** - Freedom - Adopting the Freedom SP tree will disable the Pillage City option and adjust the combat spawn rate of Slave units to 0% - Freedom provides double beakers in all cities. - Adopting Freedom triggers an instant Golden Age. **Civilization Changes** - Aztec Unique Ability - Every slave sacrificed provides +5 culture. - Slaves may be sacrificed in any city, regardless of improvements. Sound balanced? |

Sounds interesting.
I would lower the happiness bonus to +3 for sacrificing inside cities but tweak the Roman UA so that its +5. So, what do slaves do? Build improvements faster? Any small chance of "slave escapes"? |

I was shooting for a way to allow ancient civs to grow massive and stay happy through use of the Slave unit. I've been thinking about a "Slave Revolt" feature, where barbarians start spawning adjacent to cities if too many Slave units are joined to the city, but I'm not sure how to program that yet. |

Maybe you should add an emancipation option for a slave unit so that there's a 50/50 chance of the slave either disappearing or becoming a worker but with a temporary happiness bonus either way.
Settling a slave in a city could create some extra unhappiness for population or something. Right now there seems to be a lot of options already for happiness (sacrificng slaves and if you go with the emancipation idea, that as well) so some unhappiness for forced labor in cities doesn't seem out of line. |

I like it. Also, maybe an invisivle slaver unit that can sneak behind enemy lines and enslave workers and settlers.

I think that it would be cool if they did contribute to construction or something. If you think of Rome and how they used slaves to construct their buildings in record time.
Maybe if while in a cities borders they added a very small bonus to wonder construction but also consumed food. Or something similar so that you couldnt just farm slaves and stack them in a city border. Pretty cool Idea though. |

I am sketching on a social policy mod where Aristocracy and Republic exclude each other. Slavery could be one aspect of Aristocracy.
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=381895 Why has some societies have slavery? There has been many reasons, but mainly it was because labor was a scarce resource, while there was plenty of land. The ruling class needed to control their workforce, so they didn't leave their masters to settle somewhere else. In Europe, slavery was abolished in the Middle Ages, as most land had been settled. Eastern Europe had serfdom well into the Early Modern Age. The Southern USA kept slavery until the civil war mainly because of the same reason. Slavery should give an advantage to small cities with plenty of unused land. In my Civ 4 mod, I made Slavery provide a food bonus.
"We have fewer ships than we did in 1916. We also have fewer horses and bayonets. We have these things called aircraft carriers and planes land on them. We have ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines." Barack Obama The absence of a Viking civilization in Civ 5, is good news. Viking means "pirate", "warrior" or "sailor". It was a profession, never a nation or tribe; most Scandinavians around AD 1000 were farmers/fishermen, not vikings. Vikings ruled by Ragnar Lodbrok makes as much sense as replacing the English with the Yeomen ruled by Robin Hood, or the Cowboys ruled by Zorro. |

Maybe, instead of joining a city, a slave could be adjoined to it in a special category, add +1 food (as farm labor whose own rations are very meager), +1 production (working in a factory) or +1 gold (forced service labor). If a city starts getting too many slaves, maybe there should be the chance for a slave revolt in which buildings are destroyed (they are rather expensive to build aren't they? :P) and/or maybe improvements around the city. A unit garrisoned in the city might allow for more slaves-to-citizens before such a revolt takes place.
Or, possibly, slaves could be made to work tiles, adding to an existing improvement -- farms would get +1 food, markets +1 gold, mines +1 hammer. They should not be allowed to enhance the science or cultural tile improvements made by great scientists or artists (but maybe they could add food to the tile those improvements are on anyway).

That wouldnt make much sense, the Romans are the prime example of a republic/liberty civ, but they used slaves a lot. Then again the Romans were just as much an aristocracy as they were a republic

very interesting.
could you report your progress here please? settling slaves is maybe too overpowered but hurrying buildings sounds great. maybe +10-20 hammers would be ok. settled slaves should work with -1 productivity imo (with minimum of 1, so 2 hammers from mine, 1 food 1 hammer from forest etc). so it would be effective to run slaves only in small cities where population cant work all surrounding tiles. also slave settling should create unhappiness and slave revolt chanse. on city screen slaves working on surrounding tiles and slave specialists should be marked by different color and/or by cuffs icon.

I made a CiV III mod a while back and I had slaves, but I also had a required building called Slave Camp. The Slave Camp would cause 1 unhappy face in the city, but would increase production in that city.

Don't make an "integrated slave" a simple +1 population. Rather, make it increase the food reserve by.. err... 30?
Also, we need a mechanic regarding slave revolt, that's for sure. You need to have a healthy slave number in your empire if you want to avoid backdrafts. Hmm.. we could replace one of the Social Policy tree to include Slavery. A high Slavery notice would be something like the Roman society: a slave is eventually freed, and can become a citizen in his full right. That would decrease the caused by slaves. Okay, I'm at lost wits about what could be the caused by too much slavery. I want something nice. Maybe a random event that causes [X]% of slaves integrated in your cities revolt around your empire, causing each of those cities to be reduced by [Y] population (where Y is a number in function of how many slaves you have integrated). The revolted slaves are weak, but numerous military units that are of your level of technology. Be careful, these slaves can span a Great General like Spartacus! |

An interesting idea, but I would think it might work better to make the slave generation an event, rather than a unit. Otherwise, the player would end up spending a great deal of time dragging dozens of slaves back to their cities.
If, instead, pillaging resulted in the option of generating slave builders (hammer production), servants (extra population), or something else in the nearest city, it would help to streamline the process. There could also be the option of ransom, or converting them into a worker unit. Just some thoughts!

A happy place where the staff sang and laughed and giggled as they went about their various duties, and visitors returned, time and time again to relax at the poolside, wander or ride over the veld, getting up close and personal to Springbok, blesbok, wilderbeest, gnu, zebra, and always the chance of surprising a family of meercats, a foraging porcupine, a stately Secretary bird or even a prowling linx.

Despite being one of the most common types of insurance, homeowners insurance is one of the least understood, MSN reports.
The article contends that many homeowners believe their policies will cover them for practically any damage to their house or contents. What's not understood is many of these policies contain exclusions and restrictions on coverage that can leave you with a gap.
The article list five common ways homeowners are misguided in the belief that all items and situations will be covered.
If damage to your house is great enough, you may have to stay at a hotel or eat meals out, costs that can accrue quickly. If you don't have 'loss-of-use' coverage, you'd be stuck paying out-of-pocket for those costs. MSN points out that if you're covered for loss-of-use, it will be explicitly stated in your contract.
An under-the-radar problem may arise if a household item is damaged, say in a fire. 'Replacement cost' is not often a clause in policies, and it means your insurance will cut you a check for that destroyed used computer that often won't be enough to allow you to purchase a new one.
Nearly all homeowners policies exclude flood coverage, along with earthquakes and other natural disasters, the article points out. Floods can occur due to a variety of reasons and is one of the most common causes of home damage and destruction, according to MSN. Their suggestion is to look into having a separate flood policy.
Repairing termite damage and eradicating them can cost thousands of dollars; most often termite and other pest damages are not covered by insurance. The other option is to have your house regularly check and/or sprayed by a professional.
Finally, MSN reports, an insurance company will send out an appraiser to value the loss sustained to your property and the best way to fix it. You DO NOT, however, have to view that value as final. If you can prove your loss should be valued higher, you can negotiate with the company.
The article suggests reading your homeowners insurance policy thoroughly to know what is and what isn't included.

Barcelona Olympics 1992: Montreal's golden girl
From Melbourne to Montreal, Munich to Mexico City, the CBC has roamed the planet to beam Olympic history into Canadian living rooms. We take a look back and, through the eyes of CBC correspondents, experience decades of Olympic triumph and heartbreak. At first, it's via crackling shortwave. Later, live TV coverage flows around-the-clock from the other side of the globe.
. Sylvie Fréchette was born in Montreal in 1967. She started synchronized swimming at age eight in Laval, Que. At the 1990 Commonwealth Games, Fréchette became the first in her sport to receive perfect 10s from all judges in a solo event. A year later, she became solo world champion, a title she held going into the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Despite the trauma of her fiancé killing himself just before the Games, she gave the performance of her life.
. Sixteen months after graciously accepting the silver medal, Fréchette exchanged it for gold on Dec. 15, 1993, in front of a cheering crowd at the Forum in Montreal. The IOC and a member federation reversed their position and recognized the judging error. The medal was presented to a crying Fréchette by IOC vice-president Pound. Kristen Babb-Sprague, the American who had been awarded gold in Barcelona, was allowed to keep her medal.
. Fréchette retired from competition after helping Canada win a silver medal in team synchronized swimming at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
. Barcelona marked the first summer Olympics where CTV - not the CBC - won the broadcast rights for Canada. CTV's winning bid was $16.5 million US, more than four times what the CBC paid for the 1988 summer Games in Seoul. CTV president Murray Chercover hailed the winning bid as "a historic day for CTV." Newspaper reports at the time said CTV executives were shocked that their bid won.
. In 1998, the CBC, in partnership with sports specialty channel TSN and its French counterpart RDS, paid $160 million US for broadcast rights to five Olympics. The deal covered the summer Games of Sydney in 2000, Athens in 2004 and Beijing in 2008 and the winter Games of Salt Lake City in 2002 and Turin, Italy, in 2006.
. On Feb. 7, 2005, the IOC awarded Canadian broadcast rights for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games and the 2012 Summer Games to CTV Inc. and Rogers Communications. CTV and Rogers outbid the CBC with a winning offer of $153 million US for the two Games. American rights had already been granted to NBC for a record $2.2 billion US.

Record bear harvest
The Department of Natural Resources is tallying the final number, but already the 2009 black bear harvest is a state record. Based on a preliminary report, hunters harvested 3,900 bears this fall, topping the previous high of 3,184 in 1998.
The record was not unexpected. The DNR issued 7,310 bear kill permits this fall, a 57 percent increase from 2008 and most in state history.
The jump in permits came on the heels of a University of Wisconsin study that estimated the state's bear population at 26,000 to 40,000, a substantial increase from previous studies.
The DNR had set a harvest quota of 4,585 this fall; the final tally will likely fall short.
A heavy mast crop, particularly acorns, fell at the start of the bear hunting season and appears to have reduced hunter success rates, said Keith Warnke, DNR big game ecologist.
When bears have abundant sources of natural food, they hit baited sites less. Hunters with dogs also went first this year in the year-to-year alternation with bait hunters. Warnke said the success of hunters using bait tends to be lower when they follow the hound season.
The 2009 bear hunter success rate is 53% for stubs submitted to date; last year the bear hunter success rate was 63%.
"Overall we're happy with the season," said Warnke. "There didn't appear to be much overcrowding, which was a concern with the added permits, and hunters we've heard from say the season was a success."
The last harvest stubs should be submitted in the next week and a final report should be available in early December.

It's too bad the increased harvest couldn't wait another year. I should have enough points to draw next year!
Dont worry sleds.
they didnt hit their quota this year plus this spring had one of the best cub crop in recent memory. Next year they're also letting the real hunters go before the dog chasers. Up here at the border(Hurley area) and my home area of Lincoln co. they're telling me there's more and bigger bears than they can ever remember. Should mean even more permits for 2010. -
hey ironyooperwood,
What makes a bait sitter a real hunter? -
Bait sitters arent much either I guess(in your opinion).But compared to Fat little slobs that drive their trucks drinking beer as they follow their scent dog until he picks up a trail, then let their dogs out to tree the bear or cub then shoot it so they can go back to the bar and brag about what a mighty hunter they are is kind of pathetic.
This isn't most dog hunters, just you! -
WOW, you got no idea who I am. Sounds like you're the drunk that doesn't know what he is talking about. I happen to enjoy bait sitting & dog running. They both have there place. I guess you couldn't answer my simple question. Have a nice day. Oh, I guess you prefer to live in the dark. Da ha yooper -
Baiters do extensive scouting setup and offers a bit more of a sporting hunt.Dog running does none, I dont drink, but occassionally like to" bait " idiots. I'm alittle dissapointed I only got one. Enjoy your kills. -
Actually I'm more dissapointed in myself.
Sorry for making it so personal.
Good Luck in your pursuits.

Several weeks after the civil tights movement achieved international
recognition when Dr. Martin Luther king jr. was awarded a prestigious Nobel
Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway in December 1964. King went to Selma on January 2,
1965; he spoke to over 700 people in Brown's Chapel of the African Methodist
Espicopal church about the right to vote. The national and international media
prepared for the major confrontation they expected in Selma over the issue of
voter registration.
On Sunday morning, about 3,200 people, black and white, gathered at the
Brown's chapel for the 54-mile march to Montgomery. King told the crowd,
"Walk together, children; don't you get weary, it will lead us to the
Promise Land. And Alabama will be a new Alabama." Then the group composed of a
variety of people, headed off for the Alabama capital.
In the lead were King and Abernathy, flanked by Ralph Bunch of the United
Nations, also a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and Rabbi Abraham Heschel of the
Jewish theological Seminary of America. People
of different race, status, gender, and etc. came to walk together.
The SCLC strategy called for MLK to get
arrested on Monday, February 1. He led more than 200 people to the courthouse to
vote. They were all arrested.
Television coverage of the mass arrest made America's unresolved race
problem once again the focus of attention.
Martin Luther King Jr. wrote a letter in the Birmingham jail when he was

• December 9, 1579 Saint Martin de Porres, Dominican lay brother, was born in Lima, Peru. At the age of 15, de Porres was admitted to the Dominican Convent of the Rosary as a servant boy. His piety and miraculous cures led his superiors to drop the racial limits on admission to the Order and he was made a full Dominican brother. At the age of 24, de Porres was given the habit of a coadjutor brother and assigned to the infirmary where many miracles were attributed to him. Although he never left Lima, many people around the world attributed their salvation to seeing him. By the time of his death November 3, 1639, de Porres was known as a saint throughout the region. Martin de Porres was beatified in 1837 and canonized May 6, 1962. Many buildings around the world are named after him, including Saint Martin de Porres High School in Detroit, Michigan. His biography, "St. Martin de Porres: Apostle of Charity," was published in 1963.
• December 8, 1868 Henry Hugh Proctor, author, lecturer and clergyman, was born near Fayetteville, Tennessee. Proctor earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Fisk University in 1891, his Bachelor of Divinity degree from Yale University in 1894, and his Doctor of Divinity degree from Clark University in 1904. In 1903, he co-founded the National Convention of Congregational Workers Among Colored People and became its first president. The mission of the organization was to help Black Congressional churches in the South become self-sufficient, employ more of their own graduates, promote Congregationalism among African Americans, and strengthen the theological departments of the schools in the American Missionary Association. Proctor was a strong believer in self-improvement and wanted to give the Atlanta African American community tools for improving their lives. In 1910, he founded the Atlanta Colored Music Festival Association which annually presented a concert based on the belief that music could ease racial animosity and promote racial harmony. Proctor authored "Between Black and White" in 1925. He died May 12, 1933.
• December 7, 1859 John Merrick, entrepreneur and businessman, was born enslaved in Clinton, North Carolina. Merrick was freed after the Civil War and learned to read and write at a Reconstruction school. In 1880, he moved to Durham, North Carolina and opened a series of barbershops. The success of his barbershops and his community involvement made him prominent in both the White and Black communities. In 1898, he co-founded the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association "to relieve stress amongst poverty stricken segments of Durham's Negro population." The institution later changed its name to North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. Additionally, in 1901 Merrick served as president of Lincoln Hospital and helped establish Durham's first African American bank, Mechanics and Farmers Bank, and drug store, Bull City Drugs. In 1910, Merrick co-founded Merrick-Moore-Spaulding Real Estate Company to provide property insurance for Black property owners. The education of Black children was a priority for Merrick. In addition to supporting rural schools and the College for Blacks (now North Carolina Central University), he helped open a public library for the Black children of Durham. Just prior to his death August 6, 1919, the insurance company changed its name to North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. The company continues in business today. Merrick's biography, "John Merrick: A Biographical Sketch," was published in 1920.
• December 6, 1865 The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was adopted. The amendment officially abolished and continues to prohibit slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. This completed the abolition of the institution of slavery that had begun with the Emancipation Proclamation issued in 1863.
• December 5, 1775 A petition signed by fourteen White officers was issued to the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony recognizing the exemplary service of Salem Poor at the Battle of Bunker Hill. The petition stated that he had "behaved like an experienced officer" and that in Poor "centers a brave and gallant soldier." Not much is known of Poor's life except that he was born enslaved in Andover, Massachusetts and bought his freedom in 1769. In 1775, he enlisted in the Continental Army and fought at Bunker Hill, Monmouth, and Saratoga. He was one of approximately 5,000 African Americans that fought for the patriots in the Revolutionary War. Little is known of Poor's post-war life. In 1975, Poor was honored by the United States Postal Service with a commemorative postage stamp in the "Contributors to the Cause" series.
• December 4, 1807 Prince Hall, the founder of "Black Freemasonry," died. Hall was born September 14, 1735 in Barbados. Not much is known of his youth and how he ended up in Boston, Massachusetts. It is known that he was a property owner and a registered voter and that he worked as an abolitionist and civil rights activist. He fought for laws to protect Black people from kidnapping by slave traders and campaigned for schools for Black children. On March 6, 1775, Hall and fourteen other free Black men were initiated into Military Lodge No. 441, a Lodge attached to the British Army. When the British Army left, the Black Masons were granted a dispensation for limited operations as African Lodge No. 1 which then served as mother lodge to new Black lodges in other cities July 3, 1776. In 1791, Black Freemasons formed the African Grand Lodge of North America and unanimously elected Hall Grand Master, a position he held until his death. The African Grand Lodge was later renamed the Prince Hall Grand Lodge in his honor. Hall's name is enshrined in the Ring of Genealogy at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit, Michigan.
• December 3, 1847 Fredrick Douglass published the first edition of the North Star. In the first edition the paper stated, "It has long been our anxious wish to see, in this slave-holding, slave-trading, and Negro-hating land, a printed-press and paper, permanently established, under the complete control and direction of the immediate victims of slavery and oppression." The North Star's slogan, "Right is of no sex, Truth is of no color, God is the father of us all, and we are all brethren," spoke to the scope of their coverage, including emancipation, women's suffrage, and education. The newspaper and was published until June, 1851 when Douglass and Gerrit Smith agreed to merge the North Star with the Liberty Party Paper to form Frederick Douglass' Paper. That paper was published for another ten years when Douglass was forced to shut it down for financial reasons.
• December 2, 1866 Henry Thacker "Harry" Burleigh, classical composer, arranger and professional singer, was born in Erie, Pennsylvania.

In 1900, he also became the only Black member of the synagogue choir at the Temple Emanu-El. In the late 1890s, Burleigh began to publish his own arrangements and compositions and by the late 1910s was one of America's best known composers. Over his career, Burleigh wrote 265 vocal works and made 187 choral arrangements of African American spirituals. He was a charter member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers in 1914. In 1917, Burleigh was awarded the NAACP Springarn Medal. Burleigh died December 12, 1949.

Byrd had previously received patent numbers 123,328 February 6, 1872 for an improved harness rein holder, 124,790 March 19, 1872 for an improved apparatus for detaching horses from carriages, and 126,181 April 30, 1872 for an improved neck-yoke for wagons. Not much else is known of Byrd's life.
• November 30, 1875 Alexander P. Ashbourne of Oakland, California received patent number 170,460 for an improved biscuit-cutter. Prior to his invention, cooks would roll and shape their biscuits by hand. His invention consisted of a board to roll the biscuit dough out which was hinged to a metal plate with various biscuit cutter shapes mounted to it. The plate was brought down on the dough creating many biscuit shapes at once. The cutters were spring-loaded, allowing the biscuit shapes to be easily released. Additionally, Ashbourne received patent number 163,962 for a process for refining coconut oil June 1, 1875, patent number 194,287 for a process for treating coconut August 21, 1877, and patent number 230,518 for a process for preparing coconut July 27, 1880.

• November 29, 1887 Granville T. Woods of Cincinnati, Ohio was granted patent number 373,915 for the synchronous multiplex railway telegraph. His invention allowed communication between train stations from moving trains. Woods was born April 23, 1856 in Columbus, Ohio and dedicated his life to developing a variety of improvements related to the railroad industry and controlling the flow of electricity. In 1884, he and his brother formed the Woods Railway Telegraph Company to manufacture and sell telephone and telegraph equipment. In addition to the synchronous multiplex railway telegraph, Woods received approximately 60 other patents and was known to many people of his time as the "Black Thomas Edison." Despite this, Woods died virtually penniless January 30, 1910. The Granville T. Woods Math and Science Community Academy in Chicago, Illinois is named in his honor. Woods was posthumously inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2006.
• November 28, 1868 William Henry Lewis, college hall of fame football player and coach, lawyer and politician, was born in Berkley, Virginia but raised in Portsmouth, Virginia.

• November 23, 1897 Andrew Jackson Beard received patent number 594,059 for his improved rail coupler design. Before automatic car couplers, railroad workers had to manually hook railroad cars together by dropping a pin between the two connectors of the engaging cars. Often the workers could not move away from the cars fast enough and many, including Beard, lost limbs after becoming wedged between the cars. Beard sold the rights to this patent for $50,000. Beard was born March 29, 1849 in Woodland, Alabama and spent his first fifteen years enslaved. After emancipation, Beard worked as a farmer, carpenter, blacksmith, railroad worker, and businessman.

• November 22, 1871 Oscar James Dunn, the first elected Black lieutenant governor of a U. S. state, died. Dunn was born around 1826 in New Orleans, Louisiana. During the 1850s he became a member of the Prince Hall Masons, eventually serving as Grand Master of one of the lodges. This provided him a power base that would be the foundation of his political career. Dunn was also a businessman, running an employment agency that assisted in finding jobs for freedmen and serving as secretary of the advisory committee of the Freedmen's Savings & Trust Company. In 1866, he organized the People's Bakery. Dunn actively promoted and supported the Universal Suffrage Movement, advocated land ownership for all Black people, free public education for all Black children, and equal protection under the law. In 1868, Dunn was elected Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana, a position he held until his death. During his time in office, he was president pro tempore of the State Senate and president of the Metropolitan Police, with both positions commanding million dollar budgets. Dunn also served on the board of trustees and examining committee of Straight University (now Dillard University). Dunn's funeral is reported to have been one of the largest ever in New Orleans with 50,000 people lining the streets for his funeral procession and newspapers across the nation reporting the event.
• November 21, 1865 Shaw University was founded in Raleigh, North Carolina by the American Baptist Home Mission Society as the first college for African Americans in the South. The university was named for Elijah Shaw, benefactor of Shaw Hall, the first building constructed for the college. The Leonard Medical School was established in 1881 as the first four year medical school in the South to train Black doctors and pharmacists and operated until 1918. Today, the college has a faculty of 207 with 2,700 undergraduate and 100 postgraduate students. Notable alumni include Ella Baker, James E. Cheek, Willie E. Gary, and Shirley Caesar.

On November 19, 1863, in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, President Abraham Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address, just 272 words, lasting 3 minutes. The location of the Gettysburg Address had its own special resonance for African-Americans. Since the eighteenth century, the town of Gettysburg had maintained a small, vibrant African-American community. But during the Battle of Gettysburg, the two armies damaged or destroyed much of the property belonging to African-Americans, and many of the black residents who fled the town did not return. Though no one could mistake the meaning of the "new birth of freedom", the Gettysburg Address remained silent about the fate of African-Americans. The "great task" mentioned by Lincoln was not emancipation, but the preservation of self-government. Though words cannot end a war or bind up a nation's wounds, the Gettysburg Address lives on as perhaps the most significant speech in American history.

I am designing an experiment and I'm in need of some help.
Participants are presented with two videos on a website. In one period, a feature (a table of contents for the video) is enabled, while in the other period the feature is disabled. Cognitive load (the DV) is measured during both videos.
I know that it's sensible to counterbalance the order of treatments. However, since the participant must watch two videos, the video order needs to be counterbalanced also (even though it is not of interest). Therefore I need 4 groups to represent all of these combinations:
N=No Feature
V1=Video 1
V2=Video 2
Group Period 1 Period 2
1 F&v1 N&v2
2 N&v1 F&v2
3 F&v2 N&v1
4 N&v2 F&v1
According to this website about counterbalancing (last section) I can use two between subject variables "order" and "combination" to represent the above table of group combinations. So my data looks like this:
Order Combination cogload1 cogload2
1 1 5.00 3.00
2 1 4.00 6.00
1 2 5.00 7.00
2 2 8.00 5.00
This is where I get stuck. Given that feature/video are encoded in order/combination now, how can I determine the main effect of feature or the interaction between feature and video?
Also, I'm still getting to grips with general linear modelling, interactions and interpreting the results from SPSS. Does anyone have any resources that they could recommend?
